Washington: The Spanish government has sued for peace, not indirectly through the great powers of Europe, but by a direct appeal to President Mc- K in ley. The proposition was formally en- submitted to the President by the French ambassador. M. Jules Cuinbon, who hud received, instructions foreign otliee at Paris to the U. S. governtender of peace formthe Spanish ministry. The proposition submitted by the ambassador acting for thi* Spanish povermnent was quite general in terms nnd was con lined to the onv essential point of uu earnest plea that negotiations be opened for the purpose of terminating tho war and arriving iit terras of peace. The communication of the Spanish government did not suggest any r.peeitlc terms of peace, nor was any reference made to Cuba, the Philippines, Porto llico or other Spanish possessions. The evident purpose of the Madrid authorities was to first learn whether the United States wonld treat on the subject of pence and after thnt to take up such terras as the two parties might suggest. Neither was there any sujrgrestiott- from the Spanish government that an armistice be established pending the peace negotiations. The President informed the ambassador that he would consult the members of his cabinet concerning the proposition, and after a decision had been arrived at M. Cambon would then be invited to the White House for a further conference and for a final answer from the United State* government. Soon after the departure of M. Camlion tho. President and members of the cabinet held an informal conference, but there was no attempt to come to a conclusion as to the repiy of this government to Spain's appeal. There was strong intimation, however, that there would be no acceptance wliieh woxild imply the stopping of the WT*r for the purpose of embarking on a vague diplomatic negotiation when the American arms were g-aiuing victories. Madrid, via Paris: The government denies that the cabinet council occupied itself with the question) of peace. Senor Sngasta denies the existence of official peace negotiations, but Duke Almoriorar del Rio. minister of foreign affairs, says negotiations of a private -due at one time been the feameof Gen.

Wade has assumed command at Camp Thomas, Chickamauga, now that Gen. Brooke has gone t° Porto Rico. Natives are being put to work at Santiago cleaning up the city and improving the sanitary conditions. There is very little sickness. Gen. Wood, of the Rough Eiders, has been appointed military governor of Santiago succeeding Gen. McKibbin, who returns to his old duty and who is on the sick list. Fred D.

This statement that the negotiations were of private origin was evideatly intended to have a quieting effect upon the Spanish people,, as the Spanish premier on the following day said: "We resolved on peace many days ago and made known our resolutions to the United States government- I regard as null and void and as destitute of good faith everything the Americans have done since, and I am ready to protest against it forms* ly. Spain will probably protest against an attack upon Porto Rico after the Washington cabinet had officially received Spanish overtures for peace. Should a circular note on this subject be sent to ttee powers, it will contain the exact dates of the Spanish communications, making it clear that the United States deferred its answer in order to be able to date this after the American forces had gained a footing in Porto Rico." Washington: All of the talk about the bad faith shovyn by our government in pressing- the Porto Ricart campaign during the last few days is absolutely without foundation. In addition to the representatives- of the United States, the persons qualified to speak for the government of Spain in this country make an exactly similar statement, and the alleged charges of bad faith against the United States, attributed to Premier Sagast*, are discredited as inventions designed t o prejudice the successful progress of the preset*', peace movement. Even supposing there had been pence overtures, which there had not been, military authorities regard Premier Sagasta's alleged statement that peace overtures operate to stay the course of military operations, as little short of amazing, and as directly contrary not only to the military law of tbe United States, but to the whole recognized principles of international law. In general, the international law writers agree that military operations stop only when a trsee or aa armistice is actually concluded, and that this truce or armistice must be in writing. Until then the mere preliminary overture toward a suspension of hostilities is not regarded a> any warrant for stopping the war. Military authorities, as well as the specific regulations of the United States, hold that there is no suspension of hostiliejs prior to the agreement to suspend military operations. Even then, the agreement is binding on military commanders only from the time they receive actual notice of it, In the meantime ihUitary J H O O P S ON THE MOVE. Porto Kiwi Expedition li«U>K Hurried Akiittr With Mil PuMlbl* 8pe«d. ' Gen. Miles was delayed two days in getting away from liuuntonauo faarbor. but his Porto Uico expedition was in good shape when it did get away.

Each of the four batteries have six guns, 100 horses and mules and from 140 to 175 otlieers and taen. The departure of Maj.-Gen. -Brooke and hiu entire statf from Camp Thomas for Newport News aroused intense enthusiasm in the camp as the boys saw in their commander's going good prospects- <yf etirly activities, und that is what *L1 of the boys are hoping for.

The subordinate officers claim that the command ;.s in very excellan-t condition and in splendid fighting trim. As soon as the full situation dawned on the men the greatest disorder prevailed and there was no semblance of discipline. They left the rank* by dozens and scores and nearly a htindred membars of the regiment left camp, most of them withoat leave, and many of the men declare that they will no longer serve under Culver.

Miles—sent against the Spanish colony ou the Island of Porto Rico, landed successfully at Guanica, after a skirmish between a detachment of the Spanish troops and a crew of 30 marines belonging to'tho launch of the U. S. auxiliary gunboat Gloucester. Four of the Spaniards were killed und no Americans were hurt. Tho troops were pushed forward promptly in order to capture the railroad lading to Ponce, which is only about 10 miles east of the place. From Ponce there is an excellent military roattl running 85 uiiies north to San Juatn. "T*^. This-more on the part ofwfcft. Miles was a dlafcinct change from the plan of campaign: as mapped out by the war department. It was intended that Gen.

The latter wasto capture- Pbnce and then march to San Piedra» where he was to join Gen. Miles and from, there the campaign against San> JHtaw was to be conducted.

The.' lieutenant also mounted the Colt gun and signaled for reinforcements, which were sent from the Gloucester.. Presently a few of the Spanish cavalry joined those who were fighting in the street of Guaaies, but the Colt barked to a purpose* killing four of them. I3y that time the Gloucester had the range and soon afterwards white-coated, galloping cavai yiaen were stseja climbing the hills to the westward and the foot soldiers were scurrying along tbe fences fr6m the town..

Several structures w^ll also be erected ior the express purpose of beintf Set on lire to {rive the laddies a ^chance to do some real fire fighting. The railroads have agreed to make very low rates for the tournament, and it i.s expected thut 50,000 firemen and their friends will be in attendance. The national firemen's tournament was held at Chicago ~0 years ago. At that time there were but two state firemen's associations in the country, whereas there is now one in nearly every stute. The tournqinent to be held in Omaha will be very much more elaborate than was attempted at Chicago in 187H. There will be three times as many coptest.s and a very much larger number of competing companies and it is probable that nearly every state in the union will be represented by one or more companies.

When the stomach begins to fail in Its duties, other organs speedily become affected in sympathy, and life is simply a burden almost unbearable. Indigestion and dyspepsia are so common that only the sufferer from these disease* kuows the possibilities of misery that inhere in them. A typical example of the sufferings Of the victim of indigestion is furnished in the case of John C. 1 ritchard. He weut on for fifteen years, from bad to worse. l a spite of doctors he grew constantly weaker, and thought he would die. He got v e i l , however, acd thus relates his experience: " For fifteen years I was a great sufferer from indigestion in its worst forms. I tested the skill of many doctors, but grew worse and worse, until I became to week X could not walic fifty yards without haying to sit down and re--t. My stomach, liver. and heart became aftected, mid I thought I would surely die. I tried Dr. T. C. Ayei's Pills and they helped me right away. I continued their use and am novr entirely well.

Under orders from Rear Admiral Sampson the Annapolis, Topeka, Wa-sp and Ley den sailed into the harbor of Nipe, on the northeast coast of the province o# Santiago de Cuba, and after a furious bombardment took possession of the harbor. In the course of fin hour they silenced three forts, sank the Spanish gunboat Jorjre Juan and scattered Spanish riflemen who had taken part in the engagement. Two smaller Spani ,h gunboats which were in the fiffht with the Jorge Juan fled before the Jor^e Juan was sunk, taking refuge in small creeks, where they wero afterward found abandoned and were captured. Atter the fahore batteries were silenced and the Jorge Juan was destroyed a body of m?irines wus sent a»shore, where the Hag of (.rucc htul been hoisted over the fort. Tiie (surrender of the eity was demanded and WHS promptly complied with by the military gov/Cfnor. The Spanish flag was hauled down from the city hall. The American flag was hoisted in its st.-iid and the city was taken possession of by a company of marines fr >m the ships. The engagement lasted scarcely an hour. Not a man was hurt or a vessel injured on the American side, All the American ships sent small boats over to the Spanish gunboat. They found that the Jorge Juan's forecastle had lnjen entirely nipped away by the Topeka's four-inch shells and that her fore and miz/.enmnsts and flagstaff were carried oil". It is, thought the Spaniards scuttled her before abandoning the vessel. The harbor was found to be well mined, and two of the mines exploded. Nipe harbor is 20 miles long and 10 miles wide. It is surrounded bv mountains and i.s admirably adapted as a base for 11113-• campaign. The TopeUa sailed for Key West after the fight and on her way passed the monitors Terror and Puritan and gunboat Montgomery, heading for Xipe where they were to rendezvous. PEBIODS OF PAIN.

Secretary Aiger is deeply concerned over the welfare of the gallant troops under Gen. Shafter's command now encamped ou the outskirts of Santiago. The health reports show a surprisingly large number of eases of sickness, but army surgeons say that these figures are misleading in a certain sense, and that the situation may not be nearly BO bad as they would seem to indicate. The inference is that many of these cases in Geti. Shafter's camp are of a trivial nature, but go to swell its^rand t)tal of sick and wounded. Notwithstanding fchis mitigating fact. Secretary Alger is going to remove the soldiers at the vi:ry earliest opportunity to a more healthful clime.

When any of our townspeople display their ignorance as well as lack of pood taste by sending off to some distant part of the country for a job of printing, it doesn't make us sour on them, but it does make us smile a great big smile of sweet content to HOC them get a piece of work that could have been done better and cheaper in their own town. It reminds us of the Grand Rapids bride who thought that anything made in her own town wasn't good enough for her and so sent to New York for her housekeeping outfit. When the goods came, they bore the mark of Grand Rapids, the greatest furniture manufacturing town in the world. Then she was a sadder and wiser woman.

A curious Illustration of the power of light when driven at a high velooity 1« mentioned as having taken plaot In the Royal arsenal at Woolwich, Eagiazul, lately. In the coarse of experiments on firing gas in mlnea, conducted by Capt. Cooper Key, R.

These shots are made to %ct In various mixtures of air, coal dust, gas, etc., and to stop the course of plug, etc.; eventually a cast-iron target plat*, one Inch thick, was placed twenty-.five feet in front, a't an angle of forty-five degrees, in ord«r to break up everything into duat and throw it up^ ward. After three or four shots with this arrangement, the clay plug, weighing seven and one-half ounces, perforated the one-inch iron plate, and the hole thus made hae steadily extended since.

Doubtless the velocity must be tremendous. It is pointed out that the velocity for the hard cylinder of this weight and size to cut through one inch of wrought iron at forty-fire degrees would be over 1,800 foot seconds. With cast iron and clay, and the three or four repeated blows, everything is so greatly altered that there is little more to be said than that the effect is remarkable and unexpected.—- London Engineer. Live Stock Breeding Pro&peots. There was never a more favorable time in Illinois than the present to engage in any or all the live stock Industries, if the farmer will do it in an intelligent and business-like way. We do not mean he -should rush Into the business inflated with the idea of making large sums of money, or stock iiis farm with horses, cattle, sheep and hogs of any kind and at any price, but should engage in it for a term of years, lay the foundation in the best blood to be obtained, arail himself of every up-to-date method of feeding and caring for Btock,and then gradually grow into it. LetTiim make the stock a market tor everything grown upon the farm; let him save the manure and increase the fertility of the soil; let him raise his own feeders of better breeding and quality; and by doing everything so far as possible within himself, cut off from all charges of middlemen aad expense of transportation; adopt the secure and conservative business of breeding and feeding stock, aud tfcue bring our state back to it* former standing as a atoctt growing stale. The advantages of Illinois have designated it aB tlie greatest stock growing state in the union. There is no reason wliy we should not become permanently noted for the number and quality of our herds of fine stock.^Our herds of the whole Spanish population i Pu r e b r e d cattle- horses, sheep and hogs will want to come over here after they learn what splendid treatment Uncle Sam is giving the Spanish prisoners of war.—Lansing Republican, should make Illinois the Mecca for the breeders of fine stock' from every state aiMl section in this broad land.—A.

It's only a man's heirs who are ever really Interested In his ailments. Dewey Is still keeping things In hand, especially Spaniards, at Manila. The opportunity of a lifetime seldom comes heralded by a bras3 band. Some artists know as little about work of art as they do about the art of work. Some men are born great and others roll up their trousers and wade right Into the midst of greatness. A man never realizes how meaajie l s until he is a candidate for some office or the defendant in a divorce suit.

During his short captain-generalcy of Cuba Weyler cleaned up $11,000,000,and still some reople say there is no money in the butcher business. Instead of desiring to lead a Spanish army across the United States, Gen. Weyler seems now to be getting ready to take a thorough course in a deaf and dumb institute. The man who boasts that he works with his head Instead of his hands is respectfully reminded that the woodpecker does the same thins and is the biggest kind of bore. A great deal of fuss is being made because Hamilton Pish, a rough rider killed in the first battle in Cuba, was a New York society man. Brave he was -without doubt, but his comrades who died with him were just as brave, though not in "society." "Ham" Fish will be remembered as a hero, but while we are about it, we Bhould not forget that "there aro others." Not since Edward the Black Prince served the defeated King John of France on bended knee at Poitiers, more than &00 years ago, has there been shown an instance of more chivalrous and courteous treatment of a defeated foe than was shown to Admiral Cervera and his officers on board Capt. Evans' battleship. After she has paid for the results of her folly and ignorance and the war is over Spain will have abundant material for revising her notions about the "Yankee pigs/' The civil war is said to have cost the country fully e'ght billion dollars.wh'lo it was in progress—adding to the d;recL outlay the value of property destroyed and the damage done by interference with Industry. And the end is not y^t, for though thirty-three years have passed, pension and interest payments still continue to increase the total. A part of the cost of that was put off on another generation, just as a part of our present outlay will be; but the people who danced paid the piper notwithstanding, in the form of "war taxes"—and we mut* do the same.

His father and mother, though of genial humor, were rigid disciplinarians, «nd he Had occasion in after life to thank them for training him in orderly habits in small, every day matters. One of his sisters related not long before her death, which occurred in 1897, that Albion was summoned home from tchoo? one day by his mother, who merely pointed to the boy's cap, which he had carelessly left on the floor. The Wnt was enough. Without a word ."*« picked up the cap.hung it on the proper peg, and promptly went back to school. The father also strictly enforced the rule, "A place for everything, and everything in its place." A pitchfork-, in common use for foddering the cattle, was always to.be kept standing in a certain comer of the barn, where .se could lay his hand on it In the night, without a lantern. On one occasion, he felt tor it in vain, and called the boys to account. With a mixture of chagrin and amusement, they reported that "Father was nighty particular, tor that fork wasn't morc'n two tut of pit eel" ALL ABOUT SANTIAGO The Ancient Cuban Capitol That Has Been Surrendered to the Victorious Troops of the United States. The City of Santiago, surrendered to General William R. Shafter, Is the oldeat town In the western hemisphere with the exception of Daracoa, which is also in Cuba. Tho limits of Santiago inclose an area of two square miles. The city is about a wllo wide and two miles In length from the shore of the bay to the eastern limit. The town is situated at the eastern end of the graud bay of Santiago. By water Santiago is sovon miles from the coast, but owing to a peculiar curve In the outline cf the bay It is much nearer by the overland route. In 1838 the population of the city was estimated at 5D.0C0. Santiago is laid out from the Grand Cathedral, and that temple is the number center for the streets. In the vicinity of this building are all or nearly all the fashionable residences. The cathedral itself is by far the most superb and Imposing edifice In Cuba. Its beauty surpasses the finest o! the ecclesiastical structures in Havana itself. This building and the beautiful yacht ~anH==best ^4ftfo--nouiip -<m-4it3- bay fwinjL the two points in which Santiago rises above Havana. In all other respecta it is a secondary city. Havana is always classed as the first city of Cuba, and Santiago as the second. Directly before the cathedral ia one of the numerous small public parks which separate the great church from tne residence and offices of the civil governor of the province, of which the town is the capital. Havd by aro tho palace of the archbishop of the city, the post office, the telegraph office, tho residence and offices of the military governor, a branch of the Bank of Spain, the principal theaters, c jail and a large and well-f;ppolnted public marUet. Issuing from the city on the north arc four broad roads that lead to the villages and towns of Saa LUIB, Chisto, Santa Incs ana Cuabltas, and to the copper mines four leagues away to the northwest. One of these roads is famert for the ample provisions made along the way for the watering of cattle. This system is called "Abrevndero" and "Potrero Espanto Suenos." To the east of the city are the towns of Sevilla and Caney. Tho rop.d divides at Fuerte Canosa, or the "Fort of the Broad Road." Five highways is3ue from the southern part of the city and lead to Sardlnero, Justlci, Laguna. Ataranza, Cruces and one to the Morro at the entrance of the harsa roads was well slaughter houses and the now e«me- I handsome and Intriguing, &nd the" men guarded by a fort. The business portion cf the city is corfmed to the street* near the water front. Here also are the government and public docks and the terminus of the railroad which runa Into the Interior for a distance of 2S miles. On the north shoro of the bay are the tery. The cental portions of the towu are highly elevated, and .arc called "alta. N or high, while th4 reinahitfs* bf Vb* streets are denoted by the prefix "bnj*" meaning low. The blsh section is bounded by San Tomas and Hereflia atreeta. On the bay front is the alamedaor boulevard tastefully laid out by landscape gardeners aud fringed with noble trees. It is about a quarter of a mile long and makes a very pleasant promenade. * Santiago is by no means on unpleasant place for a garrlsou, despite sfiusatlonal stories of yellow fever. False impressions concerning the climate, etc., have been prevalent. Of course the weather is hot there in summer, but heat has ltd compensations, and with plenty of supplies there is no reason why American soldiers should not enjoy their stay in the town, no matter how protracted Uiat stay may be. Thero Is no disease in the-town for the rnan who takes ordinary care of himself in tlie mutter of diet and bathing. A hill that rises on an easy incline of 150 feet above tho bay furnishes a site for the city. Until about thirty years ago the streets were in poor condition, and the drainage was insufficient. Now the city is well pnved and well lighted, and combining into a most pleasing effecjt with these modern comforts is the ancient aspect of the houses and scenery. Santintjo has several Industries, the chief of which is copper. It llea in the center of the best copper district of Cuba, and until the revolution paralyzed nil Industry in the island it was the outlet for copper products of great Point=da SaL on the bay are located the great copper mines of Lomas de Cobre. The Cubans and the Spanish of Santiago have ever been an indolent people, whose sole desire is set on pleasure or gratification of some kind. The aenoras and senorltas are picturesque.

WAY HIS MOTHER COOKED. HUB Sever B.ild Anything About It Blnee Tliat VUlt liome. "J'y husband was forever telling; ma about 'the things ray mothey used lo make' during the first few n^onihs of our marriage," said a young Washington matron to a Washington Star reporter, "but he storped doing that after wo made a summer visit of a week at his mother's home out West about half a year after I became a 'Mr3.' It had up to that time been 'My mother used to make this and that so U would melt in your mouth,' and 'My moJi^r had a knack of cooking that utuff that would simply make a man glad he w^J born.' and all that sort of thing, un- .Ml I was almoct distracfeJ amT t s to believe that his mother, whom i had never seen, must be the greatest preparer of food that ever lived in this world. Then, as I gay, we went out to his mother's home to stay a week. His mother is an old-fashioned woman, who likes to do the cooking herself. The first hreakfast we ate was simply a marvel of awfulness. There waft fried round steak, tougher than leat)/ - er; 'potato biscuit' as heavy as lead, yallery coffee that tasted like dlahwa. ter, big hunks of fried potatoes, terribly greasy; thick slices of fried pork, all shriveled up; cornbread that was only half-cooked—oh, my, It was really frightful! My husband, I could plainly see, was crestfallen but he stuped himself, said everything was 'out of sight/ looked daggers at me when I said that the long Journey had taken my appetite, and announced after breakfast that he hadn't eaten a meal in a decade that he had enjeyod BO much. He didn't want to own up, you see. Well, every m«al was simply a repetition of this broakfast—'old-fashioned cooking, you know, that I'm sure ow our foreimh- My bus- I can't understand ers and fore mothers endured, band stuck it out for three days that he was enjoying his meals hugely, but 1 could see him becoming somewhat tireder-looking all the tim*, and, finally, after dinner on the third day, he came upstairs with me and eai-d, L fefi-r my mother is sort o' losing her prrtp in cooking.' By the time we left his mother's home he was the picture of a dyspeptic and it was fully two weeks after we arrived home in "Washington before he could as much aa think of eating a square meal. Cut after he recovered from the aitack of dyspepsia he certainly did enjoy our little meals, and he has never re-erred since to the 'things my mother used to make.' Men, you know, only remember how they used to enjoy their food at home when they were ravenously hungry boys, returning froa swimming or wal" uting expeditious, but nothing btft their return to their boyhood hd»e after an afcsaoce of many years, during which they have grown.to manhood, will ever convince them that the things they had to oat when they were young ones were uot the greatest ever served."*' A Wadding D.-t?

She was going away, that was a blessed consolation; going to a busy office, where she would have no time to wire chats. I could endure her for a few hours; and although I would have resented from any one the imputation that I was a liar, I assured her I would be delighted to have her come, &nd would endeavor to make her brief visit a pleasant one. When the freight from the south whistled that afternoon, I had nerved myself for a few hours of torture. The caboose stopped away down in the yard, and as I stood on the platform reflecting on what a martyr I was going to make of myself, I saw the conductor assist my visitor to the ground, and start with her along the side of the train towards the depot, A call from the Instrument drew me Inside, and when I came out again they were near the platform. I stood and stared In blank amazement. A neat, stylish little figure clad in grey, a Jaunty hat, from beneath which the prettiest imaginable brown curls fell in clustering beauty above the prettiest face I thought I had .everseen, laughing merrily at some remark from her escort, and the air seemed filled with rippling music. As be ascended the platform steps to wbore I stood transfixed and dumb with amazement, ihe gave me but one glance of her nerry blue eyes, and was about to pass on into the office when the conductor aaid* "A moment, Miss Rankin. Let me Introduce Mr. Saunders, the agent here. Fred, this is Miss Carrie Rankin, late of Edmond." She started ct me with a look of unutterable surprise, and had a mirror been thrust in front of me, I would no doubt have seen reflected an expression of equal amazement. For a moment she stood glancing first at myself and then at the conductor, and then a peal of merry laughter rang out from her pouting lips, ana extending her hand she said: "Oh, that monstrous fibber, Tom Armstrong! If I ever get within reach of him again I'll pull every hair out of his head! Why, he told me you were -an old man, Mr. Saundei'B, and—and— that you were humpbacked, and had lost one of your limbs in a railway accident some years ago. He pictured you such a fright that I hesitated long before deciding to come here. I was actually afraid of you!" "I'll kill htm»on sight!" I cried, retaining the pretty hand which rested in mine. "He led me to believe you an aged widow with two children, and a face that would set my teeth on edge when you should present it before me, and that you had a temper which a buzz saw could not scratch. However, in the glad awakening from that hideous dream I almost feel that I can forgive him, and as the frightful old widow no longer confronts me, permit n>e to bid you a hearty welcome to your old home. I trust you may en- Joy the few hours you are to remain here. You have the freedom of the office; and of the great city." "Thank you. It is very good of you, and since my humpbacked ogre has limped away on his one leg, I will enter his den with no fear. How drearily natural the old place looks" (taking off her hat and throwing it on the table). "How many lonely days and nights I spent here, fearing each rattle of the window by the wind might be a tramp or a prowling Indian, and every sound from the outside at night might come from the dreaded Dalton gang, lying In wait to rob a train. May I look in my old room?" "Certainly." "Same cheerless place. Yes, more cheerless, for really, Mr. Saunders, you do not keep It so neat as I did. When did you sweep it last?" She glanced into my face with an arch look and smilingly awaited my reply. "I th|nk It was one day last week, or. was it week before? It was the day the superintendent came over the road on a special. The sprucing up of depots by agents—male agents, that is— is always regulated by official visits, you know." We patted on into the freight-room, such only in name, for no goods save section me**- supplies had -ever been stored thereto. From the freight-room a ladder led up to the loft between the ceiling* of the office and sleeping room and the roof, and, pointing- up at the dust-covered rafters, wf fair visitor said: "I had a dreadful time up feere one day. The Insulated copper wires from the Instruments run up through the office celling, you know, and connect with the line out under the eaves of the depot. I fut out my instrument* for a heavy thunderstorm/and when I cut ft again after the storm had patted, I found the wire open on both sides of me. Fearing the trouble was in my office I began a close search for it, and, finding the wires below all right, I elhnbed up the ladder to the loft Up in that dark, black, dusty, sooty place I found both wires burned off by lightning ; and what a time I had repairing them! It was very hot and close up there, and I had left my handkerchief on the telegraph table, and frequently1 wiped my perspiring face with my Bmutty haads. When I climbed down again you should have seen me! I had that morning put on a white summer dress mamma had just sent down to me, and it was ruined, and my face was as black as any Topay you ever saw. What made it more horrible was that the passenger go-ing south whistled just as I descended from the loft, and not knowing my face was in such a horrid condition, I gathered up my train mail and went out on the platform, and such a guying as the train men gave me! There was a grinning face at every car window as the train pulled by. Oh, dear! what a fright I found myself when I looked in my mirror!" As we sat in the office daring the evening chatting she grew more and more vivacious and Jolly, and our merry laughter rang out in marked contrast to the usual stillness which prevailed about the dreary station. ,We went to supper at the section house, and on returning she went at once to the key and asked the dispatcher If the train then nearly dtfe was on time. "No. 4 delayed by wash-out below Guthrie," came the rejyly. "Can't say TFdwsc^fflilcTrwnriWirepWrW." "Oh. dear! My usual luck!" she said. "I seldom find a train on time when I want to go anywhere!" "Are you then so anxious to terminate what has been to me a most delightful visit?" I asked. "Ok, no. I assure you I have enjoyed it fully as much as yourself, but I fear I will become tiresome to you with my senseless chatter." I felt like assuring her that a lifetime spent in her society would not weary me. The time sped swiftly until the grey shades of evening began to gather, and I lighted the office lamp. No. 4 was reported safely over the track, and would reach Red Rock about 9 o'clock. Excusing herself a moment to go to the cooler in the freight-room for a drink of ice water, Miss Rankin passed from the room, and had scarcely disappeared ere I heard heavy footsteps on the plauorm, and a moment later the front door was thrown open and four masked men entered and covered me h murderous-looking revolvers. Git away from that table, young feller, an' don't you make a move fords that tellygraph till the train comes, or it'll find a piece 0' baggage 'yar it ain't looking fur. How soon is she due?" I am not naturally a coward, but this harsh transformation from a blissful dream of love to the very precincts of death unnerved me, and confess I was tnoroughly frightened. Then came the thought that Miss Rankin wQuld return in a moment, and what Indignities might not be offered her by these members of the notorious Dalton gang (for such I knew them to be); cruel, reckless men who had less regard for women than for dumb brutes which carried them to places of safety after their lawless raids. "The train is past due now, but has been delayed by a washout below Guthrie, and may not be here for several hours yet," I replied. "I'll ask about her." I made a move toward the telegraph table, hoping by a word to warn the dispatcher, but halted at the ominous clicking of a pistol. "No, you don't," the leader said. "If you want that pale hide o' your'n tattooed with cold lead, you jeet male another break like that! Yer lyin' about that train, an* we're agoin' to camp right 'yar with you till it comes, fur we have business with It. Sit down on that bench." I could but obey. The mental torture I endured was terrible, not only through fear of MIBS Rankln's return to the office, but through the knowledge that an attempt was to be made to rob the train, and the lives of good men might be sacrificed defending the property entrusted to their care. How could the robbers be frustrated? If I could but reach the key and flash the words. "Train robbers," and sign my office call, the dispatcher would hear and understand; for in those troublous days the keen-eared night guardians of the company's interests were ever on the alert for such Intelligence. For half an hour I weighed the matter of a desperate attempt In my mind. I had lost fear of my charm ing visitor's safety, feeling satisfied by her absence that she had heard the robbers and was concealed in the freight room, or had escaped by the back door and tone to the section house for aid. But what assistance could come from there? I knew there was not a firearm *i the section house, and the section men would seek safety fn fllgttt at the first intimation that I was la the hands of the Dal tons. ^ It at last jueterfcined to make one desptratt. attempt | ^ warn the train-ditpateher,- and thiW save tht train from robbery. I did not believe the villains would shoot, and felt that although they might use me roughly for my attempt, my duty to the company demanded that I should make it and meet the consequences. Waiting until I heard the dispatcher respond to a report of the belated train fro>\ Mulhall, but two stations below, and knowing that he was at his table, i rose and bounded toward my instrument. "Trai—" I got no further. There was a loud report, I f»lt a heavy blow accompanied by a stinging sensation on my right thigh, and sank to the floor. "You cussed fool, that's yer game, is it? Lucky fur you my gun went off afore I got it raised, or that shod'd a tuk you whar* lt'd a done more good!" They picked me up and threw me roughly on the bench, cursing me in a fearful manner for my attempt to thwart them in their plans. I knew I had been shot through the thigh, but from the absence of severe pain felt sure the bone had not been broken. The train must be nearing Wharton, the next station south, and after pass- Ing there no earthly power could prevent it from failing into the hands of the scowling villains who aat near me. The instrument had been quiet for a long time, and I laid trembling with anxiety expecting every moment to hear Wharton report the passing of No. 4. "Click! Click! B-r-r-r-r click!" What caused the instrument to act so queerly? Then, in clear clicking* I beard "the dispftEEefT calL Wnlrton was about to report the train—but, no I My own office signal was signed to the call. What did it mean? The dispatcher responded, and my heart gave a great throb of delight as I heard these words flashed over the wire: "This is Cr at Red Rock. Sd held by train robbers in office. I have wire tapped in loft. Stop No. 4, Wharton, quick!". "I heard that, will hold 4 here all right," Wharton broke in and said. An order was sent him to hold the train for further orders, and an explanatory message sent to the conductor. Thank God, the train was safe! I understood it all now. The brave little girl had heard the robbers when they entered,.had listened to our conversation, and recalling her former experience in the dirty loft, had climbed up there in the darkness, broken one of the wires and, striking the ends together, had been able to communicate jlspatcher T" th? WHAT'S IN A NAME? Mmmj Time* Notliii.g—Somtrtlmwi » Vaad of K.o u th tb of the night I knew she could hear every click of the instrument below, and work as effectively as if sitting at the telegraph table. "God bless you, little girl, you have done great work this night. Special train with sheriff's posse will leave in five minutes, and make run to Red Rock in forty-five minutes. Remain where you will be safe in case" of a fight with robbers." "Oh! I am so fearful Sd has been killed," I heard her say. "I heard them threaten to kill him and heard a shot, followed by a shuffling of feet." In a tone of voice so loud I knew she could hear it, I said: "Men, I have been shot in the thigh and am In pain. This bench is a hard bed for a wounded man. Won't you carry me in and lay me on my bed In the next room?" "Wat do we keer how you suffer after that bad break o' yours? Lay still, or you'll get more of It!" I heard the little heroine report the words to the dispatcher, and felt that my object had been accomplished and her anxiety relieved. In a moment came a message intended for my ears: "Brace up, Fred, for help is comin*. We've got the best of this game, but I am distressed at your condition, old fellow. Grrn and bear it I will be with you the minute the train gets here.—Cr." (To be continued.) It's a good old saying, and a true one too, "Know all men by their works." The public have been imposed upon so many times by unscrupulous claims made for selfish means of protit, they look for something more substantial; they ask for deeds. The little conqueror has earned the reputation made in Michigan and no imposter can steal it. From north to youth, lrom eai& to west, in every city, town and hamlet in the state, people &tand ready to testify to merit. Gratitude for comfort brought to thousands of homes brings emphatic rejoicings and words of praise the like of which has not been equalled in modern times. Is it a wonder the name DOAN is a familiar one in every household? Is it surprising the pubic appreciate Doan's Kidney Pills and will not be led astray by the ingenious efforts of would-be competitors? A Detroit citizen tells here why the name of Doan is dear to him: Mr. R. N. fclliott, of 143 High street. Detroit, says: My knowledge of Doan's Kidney Pills datea back to tive years apa I was th^n living in the town where Dr. Doan wns located. I was tortured with kidney troubles and inflammatory rheumatism. The doctor prescribed the pills for me which have sinoo become so ju>*tly famous. Their u»e quickly eliminated the uric ivcld from my wystcm and with ittt departure came the cure of the rheumatism and the end of the kidney troubles. It took but a few boxes to accomplish thin end and I feel that I owe Dr. Doan an everlasting debt of Kratitude for prescribing Kuch a valuable remedy. I Yave taken great pleasure in recommending this medicine to a number of my friend*. I luways keep a box of these pills on hand so that should I take a severe cold and feel that it, is seUlinK on my kidnevs a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills relieves* all apprehension. Doan's Kidney Pills are sold by all dealers. Price 50 cents per box. Mailed on receipt of price by Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Sole agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's and take no other. The mati says that it?s a poor villain who doesn't attempt to kiss the heroine when ne has a good opportunity. THE BEST DICTIONARY. What World's Bent Scholars Smy Atxmt the The Sunday School Times, Philadelphia, Pa., May 11, 1895: "Continual use of the first volume, since its issue, has shown the work to be a weighty, thorough, rich, accurate, authoritative, and convenient addition to lexicographical material. The collaborative method reaches high water mark, and produces bold, original, independent, and scholarly results." Notes and Queries, London, April 19, 1895: "So far as the English language is concerned, it may claim to be the most ambitious and comprehensive yet given in its Integrity to the world. The work is all that it pretends to be, a splendid bequest to the English-speaking races.—Thebook ia the moat valua- Ks tk« Early Moraine* In the early morning as soon as you awake to consciousness, remember that you are in the very presence chamber of God, who baa been watching beside you throngk the long, dark hours; look up Into His face aid thank Him.

The Scotsman, Edinburgh, April 1, 1895: "Different dictionaries suit different sorts of men and different sorts of libraries; but it is not rash to say that the man or library which owns the Standard need not have any other." William J. Milne, president of New York State Normal College, June 5, 1895: "It defines every word with such discrimination and thoroughness that the keenest scholars In philosophy, science, literature, art, will find In it the most lucid, accurate, and comprehensive definitions to be found anywhere." ,T. G. Fitch, LL.D., Department of Education. London, Eng., March 29, 1895: "The book bears throughout abundant evidence of care and thought and scholarship. I cannot doubt that it will be accepted as an authority of the highest rank in the department of j?liilology." The Engineer and Iron Trades Advertiser, Glasgow, April 4, 1895: "Taken altogether, the sum total is, the Standard Dictionary is without a peer. It is a distinct gain to literature, to science, and to education." See display advertisement of how to obtain the Standard Dictionary by making a small payment down, the remainder in installments. Around us the spiritual is everywhere trying to express itself through what we call the natural. If we knew how to look for it we should everywhere find the heavenly hidden in earthly things.

The Concho •ras crowded with sick soldiers, but was sadly deficient of physicians, nurses, medical supplies, suitable food -fmd fresh water. As a consequence the sufferings of the poor fellows were rery severe. Only two of those on t>oard were badly wounded, the others Buffering chiefly from malarial fever. Lengue of American UunU-lpnltttot. Many important conventions have been held in Detroit, but it is doubtful if there was ever one of greater import thun that which assembled under the title of the League of American Municipalities. The delegates were full of enthusiastic interest in anything brought forward for the betterment of life and government of cities. Mayor May bury gave these busy men a warm welcome to the City of the Straits and Gov. Pingree, who was strongly identified with the organization of the League, welcomed them in behalf of both city and state. At the sessions of the convention proper a large number of papers on municipal reforms of various kinds were read and discussed with much force. On the side there were entertainments of various kinds provided by the city authorities of Detroit and by business men. This included an exhibition by Detroit's splendid fire department aud fire boat; visits to the city's water works and lighting plants; a grand band concert on Belle Isle, the island being illuminated with many thousand lights; bout rides on the river, and trolley rides about the city. •900,000 Conflagration at One of the worst conflagrations ever known at Escanaba broke out in ratrick Foparty's hay barn, located in the center of the city. It soon spread to the store and residence and Mr. Foyarty barely, escaped with his life. The whole block, consisting of Western Express Co.'a otliee, Bert Ellsworth's drug store, I. Kratz's double clothing store, Melvin Young's tea store. Win. Eifler's cigar store and factory, Hainm's and D. A. Oliver's furniture storeroom bu+Mtng7==It then +etfcped aei*oss tlia street and completely ruined Mrs. L. D. McKenna's double store. Every glass in the Musouie block was broken with the intense heat; St. Joseph's Catholic church, worth S'>0.000, caught fire two or three times and it looked for a while as if the whole western part of the city would be ruined. The loss is estimated at about S','.* 0,000. Tried to Meal Other's Glory. ' Three young mea who represented themselves to be brave members of Uncle Sam's fighting force—Edward A.

A, 33d regiment, from fHint—took Detroit by storm, being at once surrounded by admiring crowds, to whom they told their experiences in Cuba. One had a scratch on his left eye whioh he said was made by a Spanish bullet. All wore the uniforms of U. 8. volunteers and had hardtack, brass medals and cigarette buttons all over their coats. They told about the fight at Agnadores, how bravely they had acquitted themselves; complained of the lack of surgeons and the poor medical facilities; cursed the Cubans 4or poor, thieving, know-nothings; but did not know who Gen. Duffield was, and were somewhat at a loss when Questioned closely as to the reasons for getting three months* furloughs at this &me. Investigation showed that their kuunes were not in the official roster of the 33d regiment.

CM SEE [JOJP W. French Minister Made Envoy of Spain to Make Peace. TERMS PROPOSED BY THE U.S. rorto Rico to be Ceded to the U. 8.—Cuba to be Free—Uncle Sam to Take Manila and Surrounding Territory — Future of I'bilJpplue* to be Settled Later. 1 The conferences of President McKmley and hU cabinet to pie^are a re* sponse to the Spanish overture for peace made through M. Canibon, the French ambassador, allowed considerable difference of opiuion as to the position the United States should take regarding the Philippine islands. On the other issues unanimity developed. There was to be independence demanded for Cuba; Porto llico was to be ceded to the United States; coaling stations were to be ucquircd at Guam, in the Ladrone islands, and one in the Caroline islands. As to the Philippines, the cabinet finally ngreed upon the following: That Manila bay, with the city and surroumliug territory, should be retuiued in the possession of the United States as un American port and coaling station, li Spain is to be allowed to retain the Philippines, which the United States hus not occupied, it must be under an agreement that neither the islands, as a whole, nor any part of them, shnll be ceded by Spain to any other power but the United States, except with the consent of this country. The trade of the Philippines must be freed from restrictions of the Spanish colonial system. The policy of "open door" must be established for American products. The port and coaling station which the United States tukes must bo protected from any trade restrietionn. It must continue to be, as it has been, the central port of this island system. Spain's colonial administration must be improved and the United States must be able to make its reform effective and permanent. No part of the* region which has risen against Spain on our approach and no man concerned in the rising shall suffer after the close of the war. The United States must bo left in a position to prevent the terrible cruelty which has ,lisgraced the Spanish administration in the pust. Once-established at Mnnila, the United Stat£» cannot permit unchecked atrocities of the past in the islands about. Incident to the cession of Porto Rico and the recognition of Cubun independence by Spain was the decision that every vestige of Spanish goveroment and authority an the Caribbean diaa waters must be removed, effecting a^ material ac of numerous islands over whieb the Spanish (lag flies, one of the most important of which is the Isle of Pines. Furthermore, this sweeping change of authority from Spain to the United States in our nearby waters is to be effective also as a c^oit claim of alt indebtedness assumed by the Spanish government and charged by her to those islands, so far as the United States is concerned and all commercial treaties now existing between the Spanish government and her possessions there and outside powers are extinguished. Mast Move Shatter'* Men Iforth at Once. Maj.-Gen. Shatter called a meeting of every commun<Iing and medical officer of his corps at Santiago to consider the recommendation oi the war department that tlie army be moved to the interior to a healthier location. Col. Roosevelt handed Gett. Shafter a letter in which he gave it as his opinion that if the army i& kept in Coba during the next two mooths one half of the soldiers will die, as an epidemic of genuine yellow fever is sure to break out which would ruin, from the standpoint of military efficiency, the flower of the American army. While the sick list exceeds 4.000 it affords but a faint index of the debilitation of our force*. Not 10 per cent are fit for active work. Every shifting of the camp doubles the sick rate and, besides, the coast is as healthy as the interior'at this period. For these reasons Col. Roosevelt urged the immediate transportation of the army north. Following this a paper was signed by every American general officer present, stating, "This army must be moved at once or perish. As the army can be safely moved now, the personB responsible for preventing such a move will be responsible for the unnecessary loss of thousands of lives." Gen. Shafter at once cabled this to Washington and a conference at the White House took action for the prompt transportation of the army from Cuba to the splendid - camp at Montauk Point, L. I. The first troops moved will be the five cavalry regiments, including the Rough Riders. PEACE NEGOTIATIONS. That Npaln Had 4e«ept«4 Otar fvruit Frortod Immature* v Washington; Unofficially the President wus informed that the Spanish ministry had acceded to the .terms of the United Stato-i f r a cessation of*the war. While this govern meat has strong reasons for believing that its terras of peace have been agreed to by the Madrid government,'the President is taking nothing fpr ^granted. Arrangements for pressing the war to a Bucoessful conclusipu are going forward precisely as if no negotiations were in progress. In event of Spain's acceptance of the terms proposed by this country, the flr.st step will probably be toward an agreement to close active hostilities, pending the drafting of a treaty of peace ulong the lines ot the accepted terms. Later.—An appointment was made by M. Cambon, the French ambassador, acting for Spnin, for u conference with President Me Kin ley and Secretary of State Day to consider a communication from Madrid on the peace question. After a conference lasting just an hour Secretary Day emerged from the White House and announced that the conference was inconclusive; wherefore the parties to it had agreed to say nothing publicly as to what had occurred. From this it is gathered thirt the i xpected answer of the1! Spnnish government to the Presi'l n "s note upon being received had turned out to'be- either a counter proposition or a remiest for a fuller statement in detail upou some of the heads of the, President'!* note. Meantime in consonance with' the declared purpose of the President ait the beginning of the overture,' this conference is not operating to restrain' militarv optnratjons in any THE WAR SITUATION. The battleship Texas has arrived at the Brooklyn navy yard for repair of injuries received in the campaign off Santiago. Her fighting ability was not r& the leaftt impaired, however. The warship and her crew were given a wildly enthusiastic reception aa she tip New York ltarbor. The governuient is now waitings to hear again from Spain, and this time it is expected the answer will be flnuL Firmly, but courteously, the President has declined the earnest appeal of the French ambassador to modify the United States' d. m nds, excent in slight and comparatively unim ortant respects. One of these was that the commission to be appointed to settle the terms ot peace shall meet outside of the United States, and preferably in France. '1 h * President sees no material objection to granting this request, and it is said to be practically settled that the conferences will be held in Paris. The Madrid p"overnmei t through M. Cambon, propounded a uuinbcr of questions as to the i m when Spain would be expected to evacuate Cut a aid the territory to be ci d.;d the United Stat.-Sf and us to what provision would be made by the United States to protect the interests of Spanish subject in these sands, while the evacuation was in progress. There is one point, how-1 ever, which the Spanish authorities* o comprehend, and Secretary Diy made a special call upon the ambassador for the purpose principally of malting perfectly ciear this one point. The point was that the evacuation of Cuba. Porto Itieo and one of the Ladrone islands, to be selected by the United States, and their permanent session to this government, was made a question precedent to all peace negotiations, and not until these terras had been fully complied with, will this government consent to entertain any peace propositions whatever. Madrid; Consultations held between Premier Sagasta, the presidents of the chambers and other prominent persons, are of a national character, with a view of ascertaining the opinions of all parties. The cabinet will follow the advice of the party leaders and will; leave to the crown the liberty of chosing advisers. All the leaders consulted have observed the strictest reserve. with the exception of Senor Romero y Robledo, leader of the Weylerite party, who declares himself for continuing* the war. Owing, in a great measure, to the patriotic efforts of Gen. 4'cuavieja. a tacit truce .seems now established between all factors of internal disorder in Spain, until the peace treaty is signed. The feeling of all classes is that the humiliation resulting from this disastrous war fail* sot upon the Spanish naiion. but upon the dynasty and government. Th* moment peace is signed the government will be made a scapegoat, and th* people will then turn savagely-against the dynasty and make it answerable for the consequences. 15 Regiment* More for' Verv* Bteo. The war department 1MM ordered Maj.-Oen. Wade, who w** placed-in command at Camp Thomas after the departure of Gen. Brooke, to proceed to Porto Rico with 15 more regiments of volunteers, which are to form a provisional division, the regiments being selected from various, brigades.

Their attitude there is similar to- tout sssnmed bv Garcia's Cubans, altbowgh in tbiscase the insurgents are not only more numerous, but better armed mnd filled with the arrog-anco followingth'jr numerous victories over their ; anish foes. Gen. Merritt, however, iuiiitates that he will do his utmost to protect the citizens from the savagery of the insurgents, though while- fighting the Spaniards he must be ready at any; monent to repel the insurgents. The-general gave notice thHt he- was. about to combine with Admirai *>ewey in> at joint demand for the surrender of the city to the United.

Ailmiral I)ewey says the health of hismen has never been better sinea they have been on the Asiatic; station. The- London Times correspondent ait (CUivite says: It is becoming' more apparent daily that there are seriousuomplications ahead. The Americans nawr made a greater mistake than in bringing the insurgents to CavitQ a>nd arming them. Aguiualdo has become jealous of the Americans. Wither he bas be<;n corrupted by some foneign power or he has a false idea of the strength of the revolutionists, ffcElittgto recognize that themrecent successes, are due to the e-.meentrtition of Spanish. strength at Manila, ooosequent upoa the presence of the Americans. He talks of his government and dictates to the American authorities it»! absurd1 and inflated terms. Ag-uinalde'-s forces encircle the city making daily and nijrhtly attacks. Two milo&. behind Aguinaldo's lines, :*>uth of Manila, VKXJ Americans are in camp. The remainder are at Cavite. Agtmnaido has objected to the advance ui the Americans to ground captured: by the insurgents, forgetting that hi* landing was effected by the grace of the Americans. It is becoming nppam>nt that the- sole incentives of the insurgents, in. the conflict are revengie and plunder. Aguinaldo is respectful toward Admiral Dewcy, Gen. Merritt and U. S. Consul Wildmau, but he holds back from giving onergetic fcelp to the U. S. forces, until he knovm. exactly what form the American p»lAcy will take. He is disturbed by reports that the United States Will abandon the Islands to Spain. Gen.

A Romance—By Hannah B. McKenzie. CHAPTER I, "Going out again, Magnus?" "I must, little one. You look quite disappointed, as if you had expected me to spend the rest of my life over a luncheon-table." "Now, you're laughing at me, Magnus, No; but I hope you are not goinj; far. You're not going to—to Crag Castle?" Daisy Halcrow uttered the last words hesitatingly, as if not quite sure o* •how they might be taken; but her brother answered readily enough, though a close observer might have noticed that his bronzed face took on a darker tint as he did so. "Yes, I am going, Day. You know I have to see Lady Westray." "Is she then so very ill, that you must go to see her every day?" asked Day quickly, Perhaps there was a faint shade of sarcasm in her question; but if tihere waa, Dr. Magnus took no more notice of it than he had of her former hesitation. •He had been standing by the mantlepiece, leaning his elbow upon it. Now he came to the window, in which Uis hla hand- Abbot's Head stood on an eminence overlooking the sea and Day could let her gaze travel over that great expanse of water which stretched away to unknown worlds. Today It was as calm as glass, but had a dark hue, such as often, presages a storm. The sky above was blue, but thickly veiled with grey, thundery clouds, edged with a tinge of copper. on her shoulders. "My d ar little Day, Lady Westray is just as ill as she imagines herself—in other words, she is a confirmed hypochondriac. But I must not forget that she Is one of the few among my patients who are likely to pay me for my gervjres." The girl caught his hand impul- Blvely. "That is not the spirit of my noble, Independent, great-hearted Sea-king, who does bis work for love of itself, and for love alone! Nor is it the spirit of our dear old daddy, Magnus, who gave of what he had freely, and was content eo long as he had wherewith to eat and drink and be clothed/' "Our father was only too generous, Day," said Magnus slovAy. "You know it is nei*r?«ary to have '* little worldly wisdom and forethought as long as you are in this wor]d. And I have an ambition, as you know, and fhat is to re- air and beautify this ruined home of the Falcrowa. But I must not waste time now. Give me a kiss, little one, and let me go." "Take care of yourself, and don't bo ~"oTefta];< n fry^ftF-Trtornrr^eirrr^saM the girl, She stood on tiptoe ami preyed her fresh young lips to her brother's bearded ones; then suddenly threw an arm around his neck, whispering, "Safe home, my Sea-king!" She stood by the window until she saw her brother emerge below, leading out his bicycle. The fortunes of the Halcrows were fallen indoed, and long since Magnus Halcrow had had to part with his fine chestnut, the leas aris- • toorattc and less expensive steed serving him equally as well. Day smiled and nodded and waved her handkerchief, as her brother took off his cap, smiTrn a so mounted his iron steril, and pbnoting down the road, soon vanished out of sight. A bicycle is not the best mount for showing off a man's stalwart or handsome figure; but Magnus Halcrow's prorortions were so magnificent that nothing could hide them. He was, as his sister had called him, a veritable Sea-king—a lineal descendant of those golden-haired, blue-eyed, brawny Northmen whose fame and exploits Saga and Scald have sung. Six feet in height, he was splendidly made, with square shoulders and unbent back. His limbs were sinewy and muscular; his face, burnt to a bronze hue, was the noble, open, generous one of an honorable, God-fearing, clean sou led young man. His blue eyes and abundant auburn hair made him like a sun-god. The Halcrawa were true Orcadians, and 'to them this "land of the midnight sun" waa of more importance than all the great world without. For thirty years Dr. Halcrow, t h e . elder, had lived at Abbot's Head, wearing out his life in the hard work of a country doctor, at1 his father had done before him. Then he had died, and his son Magnus had taken his place, ministering to the rough flsherfolk ami farmers within twenty miles. And Day lived with him—Day, whom her mother, who had died shortly after •the was bora, had named Daisy; but •who, to her father and brother, was always Day—Day, the soft-eyed aud dark-haired, amaJl and slim of stature, whom everybody loved; Day, the eltrhteen-year-old, to whom all life as yet was fair and sweet, because she bad koown nose but those who loved to* and whom she trusted. Wfcen Dr. Magnus was out of sight Day still stood by the window, looklag out half aseeatly on the coene before her. CHAPTER II. It was a day of excessive heat. No bird chirped, no leaf stirred. All nature seemed exhausted, or preparing for some terrific outburst. "The atorm is coming; I can see it," Day said to herself. "I hope he will reach Crag Castle before it bursts. Why does he go so often? Is it to see Lady Westray, as he says, or to gee Lilith Stuart?" Some disagreeable thought awept across the untroubled calm of Day's brow, like the dark clouds on the Summer sky without. She pressed her hand over it, as if to clear away some unpleasant thought, and murmured: Am I anjust, I wonder? Unjust, and J^cjharita_bie_? Dear daddy ivjed_tp say it was the way of youth to judge hastily and uncharitably; yet I can't help it —I can't, I can't! I don't trust her. and can't compel myself to like her. Sometimes I feel as If—as if she were wicked—really wicked, like those women one reads about—wily Vivien, the "lovely, baleful star," or Cleopatra, •?bo won men's soul8 and then ruined (them. "How unRiGd, how bitter I am!" sha cried, beating her little hands together the next moment. "I must do as dear daddy used to say we ought to do when the devil enters into us—drive him out by doing something for God or for our neighbors. I'll go and see poor old Low. I promised to bring him a little treat of my own baking." For Day H ;)crow was her brother's right hand In everything, and there was no poor or aged or dying person among his patients whom she did not visit and bring comfort to, either physical or mental. She ran lightly downstairs, packoJ her little treat—a small cake and one or two other dainties—in a basket, and, putting on a sailor hat in the hall, prepare4- togo-out. BelL-tie. old servant^ who had been with her mother, heard her, however, and ran to the door. "Ye'll not be going out just now, Mi?s Day? The storm is coming up fast." "I don't think it will overtake me. I'm only going as far as old Low's; so don't you bo anxious, you foolish Bell," said the girl. "Where's Oh! Ola! Ola! are you coming, old boy?" A groat tawny co!)ie os large «s a St. Bernard cam<* lumbering into the hall flora the kitchen regions at lfer call, nwd thrust his coid nose into her hand. "Come on, then, old boy. and take good care of your missis," rried Dx' gaily. "Gond-byo, Bell. I'll be back in h.ilf an hour." A long straight road led down from Abbot'n Head to the small hnralet of Finstray, whore Day's pensioner lived. The village was- by the sea, most of the houses b^ing built in a holJon- )»•>- 1/ween the road and the shore. The road ran on past the lone'y lakes of Harris and Stennis, and the standing stonos to the important little town of Kirkwall. The air was still as death and as hot as an oven. The silence and oppression were appalling, and even Day, WHO was a brave little soul if there ever was one, felt awtd by it. "Magni'j must be near Crag Castle now, so fc ' is all right," she thought. Her anxieties were always for her beloved brother, not for herself. Old Ix)W was both lame and deaf, and a conversation with him was trying. He sat outside his door on a bench, smoking A pipe, his only solace; but he smiled, laid it down, and put a trembling old hand to his hat as Iuy approached. Day presented her little gifts and sat rhatting with the old mac for a little. Suddenly she was startled by a vivid flash of lightning, and the next instant a loud roar of thunder burst overhead. "It be a* goln* to storm, miss, and D<\*nietake," said the old man. "Yu'd bv%r come indoor* till it be paat." "No; I. think 1 shall run home before it comes on very badly," said Day. "Good-bye, Mr. Low. I shall come again in a day or two." "Good-bye, miss, and God bless yu for the comfortable, words ye've a* spoken to. me this an' many times," said the old man. holding her own little roseleaf of a hand in his own workroughened, aged one. "The Lord be with yu for a sweet young lady." Day picked up her basket, hurried up to the main road, and was soon walking swiftly homewards. But swiftly as she weut, the storm moved more quickly still. Flash succeeded flash with startling rapidity; the whole artillery of heaven seemed rumbling across the skies. The sea was no longer calm, but moved and 8welled as if in some strange convulsion; and every moment the sky grew blacker. A dreadful oppression filled the air, which was almost suffocatingly hot. As Day hurried on, half running, she felt her throat dry and parched, and the perspiration stood In beads on i^er face. No human creature had passed her; there were no houses between Flnstray and Abbot's Head. But suddenly, as Day ran on, she heard the sound of a bell ringing behind her, and, turning, she saw a cyclist come flying along the road at terrific speed. For a moment her heart bounded, for she thought it was Magnus. Bicycles were not so common in that far Orcadian land, next jnoment she knew it was im- We^Magnua had gone in the other direction. The cyclist was on her in a few seconds. He slowed up as he approached, and, touching his cap, asked: "Can you tell me if I am right for Stromncss?" "Straight on," Day replied. He touched his cap again and fiew on. Day looked after him, and his figure was lit up by a brilliant flash of lightning as she looked. He was a gentlemau, she could tell at once—slight in figure, dark in complexion, handsome and almost patrican in features. X>\ that Day took in in that bright flash; thnn he was beyond her sight, hid by a tura In the rond. She hurried on. tt flash ef forke (1 11 g b t-n \ s ^ burst out, quivered for a moment ov.3 • the landscape, lighting It up with a blue and purple glare, then went out Almost at the same moment a terrific | clash of thunder shook the whole sky: i the rattling and pealing above w*us i like the day of doom. Day was couri ageous, but that awful p^al made her j start nervously and fly onwards. She was close to the narrow road w.Mch turned up to the Head when some object lying on the ground just at th<? cross-roads drew her attention. Her heart leaped to her mouth. Could it be the cyclist, struck by that fearful bolt? She ran up to tt, hardly touching the ground in her haste. In a few seconds she saw that she had been right in her conjecture. The bicycle lay on the side of the road, with twisted handle-bars; and a few paces from it. in a strange, huddled-up position, motionless, lay the unfortunate rider! TAK4N43 AIL BEFORE THEM. Gen. HUM' Force* Meet Ufctle Baalstance —News From Porto Rioo* Following the landing of the first American troops at Ouanica and the surrender of the port of Ponoe t o the auxiliary cruiser Dixie, Gen. Henry's division of the forces under Gen. Miles moved from Guanica to Ponoe, taking en route the cities of Yauco, Tallaboa, Sabana Grande and Penuclaa. Attempt* by the Spaniards to blow up bridges and otherwise destroy the railroad between Yauco and Ponce failed, only a few flat cars being burned. Our troops fired up the locomotives and are now operating- the road from end to end, carrying men, supplies and messages. At Yauco the Americans were received by the alcade who issued a proclamation welcoming them and dated it "Yauco, Porto Rico, United States of Araeriea." Maj. Webb Haves, Sixth Ohio, son of former President Haves, hauled up the flag on the palace amid cheers from the populace. The people seemed almost overjoyed that the Americans had arrived, but feared an uprising of natives in the interior, who would murder and pillage in revenue for the many years of Spanish misrule. To prevent this a guard will be left to protect the capUired cities. Gen. Miles reports from Ponce: \*Volunteers are surrendering themselves with arms and ammunition. Fourfifths of tHe people are overjoyed at the arrival of the army. Two thousand from one place nave volunteered to serve with us. They are bringing in transportation, beef cattle and other needed supplies. The custom house lias already yielded $14,000.

Ghastly pale, with closed eyes an*? mouth, and vrlth apparently no breath coming from between the tlgrhtiy-set lips, it seemed to Day like the tase of a d«atr-ra*R. In its white, awful pal'or she saw it more distinctly now than she had before. The features were fine and delicately cut, and the whole face refined; only the mcuth, in its closeset seemed to give indication of a stern nature—too stern for so young a face. "Oh. merciful Father, grant that he may not die!" Day prayed again, hardly knowing what she said, for, in her deepesf heart she believed he was rea'- ly d>>ad. "What am I to do?"

The following was clipped from the July-August numbe r of the* Churc h News: We do not see how anyon e can. deny tha t the Tith e is th e Lords. I t seems to us tha t one is shut up to saying "if you do not believe it, you and th e Lord for it. H e says it is his". But th e objectio n is raised tha t thi s was simply a Jewish exnction , and not in force under th e New Testimen t dispensa - tion . Thi s is certainl y a misapprehension . If we may judge from various expressions, #oo d and devout men set apar t th e tith e of thei r increas e for th e Lord' s service long before th e Jewish natio n was in existence . Abraham paid tithe s as if it was a well establishedusage . vows th e tith e as thoug h it was a gb^ and -pkysieaily^=t o days in a week, and even familiar practic e with God-fearin g people . The Levitical expression in referenc e to th e Lord' s proprietorshi p in everything, and his rightful claim to the tent h as an expression of loyalty to him, is not made as thoug h it were a new enactment , but th e simple statemen t of a well-understoo d obligation . It costs a good deal to pay th e tith e to the Lord . But it costs a good deal more not to pay it. Th e Jews found it so.

The aptness of a quotation from the Bible—Isaiah 3:12—was never shown more forcib'y than i.i a speech recently delivered in the Spanish Carles by a Carlist deputy. Af;er eloquently arraigning the government for their incapacity, he closed with th°se worrts frotn Ipa!ah "As for my p<ople, children axe their oppressors, and women rule over them. 0, my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." The Cortes was instantly in an uproar, and the deputy, having refused to recall lius words, was expelled for the remainder of the session.

Solomon's templn had stood there, but Nebuchadneuar had thundered it down. Zerubbabel'a temple had stood there, but that had been prostrated. Now we take our placeB in a temple that Herod built, because he jvas fond of great architecture, and he wanted the preceding temples to seem insignificant. Put eight or ten modern cathedrals together, and they would not equal that structure. It covered nineteen acres. There were marble pillars supporting roofs of cedar, and silver tables, on which stood golden cups, and there were carvings exquisite, and inscriptions resplendent, glittering balustrades and ornamented gateways. The building of this temple kept 10,000 workmen busy for forty-six years. In that supendous pile of pomp and magnificence sat Christ, and a listening throng stood about Him when a wild disturbance took place. A group of men are pulling and puBhing along a woman who had committed a crime against society. When they have brought her in front of Christ, they ask that^Hesen te nee herteHteath-by- Btoning. They are a critical, merciless, disingenuous crowd. They want to get Christ into controversy and public reprehension. If He say "Let her die," they will charge Him with cruelty. If He let her go, they will charge Him with being in complicity with wickedness. Whichever way He does, they would howl at Him. Then occurs a scene which has not been sufficiently regarded. He leaves the lounge or bench on which He was sitting, and goes down on one knee, or both knees, and with the forefinger of His right hand He begins to write in the dust of the floor, word aft«*r word. But they were not to be diverted or hindered. They kept on demanding that He settle this case of transgression, until He looked up and told them they might themselves begin the woman's assassination, if the complainant who had never done anything wrong himself would open the fire. "Go ahead, but be sure that the man who flings the first missile is immaculate." Then He resumed writing with Hfa finger in the dust of the floor, word aiier word. Instead of looking over Hislshoulder to see what He had written, the scoundrels skulked away. Finally, the whole place is clear of pursuers, antagonists and plaintiffs, and when Christ has finished this strand chJrography in the dust He looks up and finds the woman all alone. The prisoner is the only one of the courtroom left, the judges, the police, the prosecuung attorney having cleared out. Christ is victor, and He says to the woman: "Where are the prosecutors i - this case? Are th<jy all ro~°n Ihen I discharge you; go and sin no more." I have wondered what Christ wrote on the ground. For do you realize that is the only time that He ever wrote at all? I know that Eusebius says that Cnrist once wrote a letter to Abgarus, the king of Edessi, but there is no good evidence of s-uch a correspondence. The wisest bein? the world ever saw, and the one who had more to say than any one who ever lived, never writing a book or a chapter or a paragraph or a word on parchment! Nothing but the literature of the dust, and one sweep of a brush or one breath of a wind obliterated it forever. Among all the rolls of the volumes of the first library founded at Thebes there was not one scroll of Christ. Among the 700,000 books of the Alexandrian library, which, by the infamous decree of Caliph Omar, were used as fuel to heat the 4,000 baths of the city, not one sentence had Christ penned. Among all the infinitude of volumes now standing in the libraries of Edinburgh, the British Museum, or Berlin, or Vienna, or the learned :epoeitorles of all nations, not one word written directly by the finger of Christ. All that He ever wrote He wrote in dust, uncertain, shifting dust. My text says He stooped down an'! wrote on the ground. Standing stgratght up a man might write on thelgrourtl with a staff, but if with his fingers he would write in the dust ae must bend dear over. Aye, he must get at least on one knee, or he cannot write on the ground. Be not surprised that He stooped down, His whole life was a stooping dow*. Stooping down' from castle to barn. Stooping down from celestial homage, to monocratic jeer. •pram residence tibovt the stars to whe^e a star had to fall to designate His'andlng-place. Prom heaven's front 6oi*r co the world's back gate. Fr*>m writing in round and silvered letters tf ooatellatlon and galaxy on tfc* blue scroll of heaven to writing ou the ground in the dust which the feet of the crowd had left in Herod's temple. If, in January, you have ever stepped out of a prince's conservatory that had Mexican cactus and magnolias in full bloom into the outside air, ten degrees below xero, you may get some idea o( Christ's change of atmosphere from celestial to terrestrial. How maay heavenB there are I know not, but there are at least three, for Paul was "caught up into the third heaven." Christ came down from the highest heaven to me second heaven, and down from second heaven to first heaven, down swifter than meteors ever fell, down amidst stellar splendors that Himself eclipsed, down through appalling space, down to where there was no lower depth. From being "waited on at the banquet of the skies, to the broiling of fish for Hia own breakfast, on the banks of t h ^ lake. From emblazoned chariots it eternity to the saddle of a mule's back. From the homage of cherubic, serapnic, archangelic, to the paying of sixty-two and a half cents of tax to Ceasar. From the deathless country to a tomb built to hide human d ssolution. The uplifted wave of Galilee was hi?h, but He had to come down before, with His feet, He could touch it, and the whirlwind that arose above the billow was higher yet, but He had to come down before with His lip He could ki6s it into quiet. Eethlehem a stooping down. Nazareth a stooping down. Death between two burglars a stooping down. Yes, it was in consonance with humiliations that went before and selfabnegations that came after, when on that memorable day in Herod's temple He stooped down and wrote on the ground. " WlietWer thlf words Tfe~WRi writing were iu Greek or Latin or Hebrew, 1 cannot say, for He knew all thoso languages. But He is still stooping down, and with His finger writing on the ground; in the winters in letters of crystals, In the spring in letters of flowers, in summer in golden letters of harvest, In autumn In letters ot fire on fallen leaves. How it would sweeten up and enrich and emblazen this world could we Eeel Christ's caligraphy all over it! This world was not Hung out into space thousands of years ago, and then left to look out for itself. It is still under the divine care. Christ never for a half second takes His hand off cf it, or it would soon be a shipwrecked world, a defunct world, an obsolete world, an abandoned world, a dead world. "Let there lie light," was said at the beginning. And Christ stands under the wintry skies and says, let there be snowflakes to eunch the earth; and under the clouds of spring and says, come ye blossoms and make redolent the orchards, and in September, dips th»; branches in the vat of beautiful col- -&£»,—»R4 swings them—hrto—the hazy air. No whim of mine is this. "Without Him was not anything made that was made." Christ writing on th< ground. * * * 1 must not forget to say that a= Christ, stooping down, with his n'ngei wrote on the ground, it is evident thai his sympathies are with this peuiten. woman, and tnat he has no sympathy vviih her hypocritical pursuers. Jusi opposite to that U the world's habit Why didn't these unclean Pharisee; bring one of their own number to Christ for excoriation and capita punishment? No, no. They overloo* Jiat in a man which they darnua.te ii, a woman. And so the world has had for oil:-udi'jtf woman scourgea aud Ob jurgation, and for just one offense shi becomes an outcast, while for men whose lives have been sodomic for i.vventy years the world swings opei its doors of brilliant wekonie; ano they may sit in high places. Unlike the Christ of ray text, the world writes: a man's misdemeanor in dust, bu; chisels a woman's offense with grea. capitals upon ineffaceable marble. For foreign lords and princes, whose names cannot even be mentioned in respectable circles abroad because they are walking lazarettos of abomination, »oine of our American princesses of fortune wait, and at the first beck sail out with them into the blackness of darkness forever. And in what art called higher circles of society there It now not only the imitation of foreign dress and foreign manners, but an iruitation of foreign dissoluteness. I liiir a foreigner and I like an America but the sickest creature ou earth is an American playing the foreigner. So cioty needs to be reconstructed on this subject. 1 rea.t them alike, wasculin crime and feminine crime. If you cut :he one in granite, cut them both in £ranite. K you write the one tn dust w• ite the other in dust. "No. n o " saya the world; "let woman go down ;:na let man go up." What is that i bear plashing into t^e Hudson or Po- Lornac at midnight? And then there is a fttrgle as of strangulation, and all is still. Never mind. It is only a woman too discouraged to live. Le; the mills of the cruel world grind right on. But while I apeak of Christ of the text, hi* uteoptng (town writing in the dust, -do not think I underrate the literature of the dust. It Is the moat tremendous of all literature, it is the greatest of all libraries. When Leyard exhumed Nineveh he was only the door of its mighty dust. The excavations of Pompeii have only been the unclasping of the lids of a volume of a nation's dust.

Gladiators were captives, slave? criminals, or even free citizens. They were trained with great care, an< were, as a rule, tall, well built me? in the very prime of life. The emner or, after seating himself in the plac always reserved for him in the Col' seum, gave the signal for the spor to begin. Sometimes it was a combi' between ferocious beasts; in that cas' the CKvea was thrown open at th' empcror'3 signal, and the beasts wer turned into the arena, where the} "fought to a finish." When it was a gladiatorial oombat the gladiators marched In, made their obeisance to the empercr, and in chorus said- "Hail, mighty one; those about to die saluts thee!" When a gladiator wounded his adversary he shouted to the spectators: "He has it!" and looked up to know whether he should kill or spare. If the people held up their thumbs, it was the signal to spare the conquered one; if they turned their thumbs down, he must die. Thus the life of a vanquished gladiator was often taken just to make a Roman hoMday. Finally Christianity prevailed and such cruel sport became abhorrent. D. V.

The hair grows in the scalp lilte a plant in the •oil. If a plant flourishes, it must have constant attention; it must be watered regularly aud find its food in the soil where it is rooted. It's so with the hair. Neglect is usually the he'.pnning; of baldness. Dandruff U allowed to tlucl&eu on the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The scalp loses its viU'ity. The hair, insuf- 6ciently nourished, begins to fade and to fall. The Instant need in such a case ia some practical preparation which, supplying the needed nourishment to the sculp, will feed the hair, give it strength, •nd so produce a strong and healthy growth, All this is done by Dr. Ayer'a Hatr Vigor, the most practical and valuable preparation for the hair that can be obtained. It tones i>p the scalp, uoes away with dandruff, stops the hair from falling, restores the rriirinal color to gray or faded hair, and rives an abundant and fftattv growth. Those who are threatened w«h approaching baldness will be interested in the following voluntary statement, made by Alderman S. J. Green,of Spencer, Iowa. He writes: 14 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, I resolved to tr/ this preparation. 2 have been now us;np it for three months, and am much gratified to find that my hair has ceased falling out and also that hair which had been turning gray for the past five years has been restored to its original color, dark brown. It gives me much pleasure to recommend this dressing."— S. J. GKE&N, Alderman, Spencer, Iowa.

In the day bf France'H last national humiliation, when her armies were scattered and her capital at the mercy of the Germans, yet one more terror was added. When the German army entered Paria Ui the spring of 1871. a saysterloua body, calling itself the "Central Committee," begaa extensive organisation, and under pretext of securing them from the Germans, got possession of a large number of cannon and miti ailleuaes. These they placed in positions chosen by therasel res, and notably at Montroartre, where a formidable array of guns were directed towards Paris. Simultaneously, restlessness and insubordination broke out among the national guard, a force appertaining strictly to Municipal Paris, and not under orders of the Central Government. An attempt was made by Generals Vinoy and Le Comte to seize the guns at Montmartre, but the greater i part of th* soldiers mutinied, and made common cause with the "Committee," and the national guard, a j large part of which openly joined with I the Bed Republicans. Troop* Harrying From Santiago. Ma j.-Gen. Shatter began to move his troops to the transports as soon as he received orders to send them a to more healthy camp at Montauk Point, Long Island. There were six ^transports at Santiago at the time and they were ordered to discharge their cargoes and to get ready without loss of time. Gen. Shaftcr's orders for the movement of his command provides the following program: The embarkation of the Third and Sixth regular cavalry, then the First regular cavalry and First volunteer cavalry (Rough Riders).

BECAUSE THE HOUSEWIFE DIDN'T USE APOLI This plan of government wa3 to be enforced on Paris, willing or not. A peaceful demonstration of unarmed citizens which met to protest was fired upon by the national guard, and fled, leaving thirty dea-d and wounded. Barricades were thrown up in the streets and the reign of terror and civil war begaiv In ten days alone, 160,000 persons left the city. A great sortie of the Communal party was broken up j and driven back by the army of Ver- [ sallies. The Germans gave permission for the organization of 150,000 French soldiers (many returned prisoners) to begin the second siege of Paris—a siege of Paris by Frenchmen. Point after point in the outer defenses was taken, and the Communists saw themselves defeated. Whereupon they took to wanton murder and arson. Public buildings were set on fire and petroleum was pumped on the fires. People were shot in batches— often tortured by hopes of rescue first. Priests were dragged forth and shot as they stood, and in particnlar the venerable archbishop of Paris, was KDUCATIONAL. rr Remember the name when you buy p been confined, as a hostage, and murdered.

Fear of Negro domination has led to his complete change of mind on the subject, and, it is said, the large majority of the white officers in the Cuban army are in favor of annexation. President Me Kinley has decided to recommend to congress that both Acting1 Rear Admiral Sampson and. Commodore Sehley be promoted to the rank of rear admiral, Sampson ranking just above Schley. Capt. Clark, of the Oregon, is to be advanced six numbers in the captain's grade, and Lieutenant- Commander Wainwright will go up eight numbers. Other promotions will be made throughout the fleet. Reports have been received that Gen. Luque, commanding the Spanish garrison at Holguin, province of Santiago de Cuba, has surrendered to Gen. Garcia. At the time of the surrender of S-intiago Gen. Luque had 10,000 men in his command, but hundreds deserted to the Cubans, and.seeing starvation and ruin before him,. Gen. Luque surrendered. The town of Gibara has also been taken by Garcia, who is taking care of 1.000 sick and wounded Spanish left there.

Baltimore <& Oh\o Railroad have turned tlieir attention to the improvement of the grades on the third division, from Cumberland to Grafton, or rather that portion which lies between Altamont, the top of the seventeen-milo grade, and Terra Alta. where the Cranberry grade begins to descend. The line passes through Deer Park and Oakland an(S crosses what is known as the "Glides" of the Allegheny Mountains. The grades are short and choppy, some of them being 80 to 85 feet to the mile. One of the first pieces of. work to be done is now in progress at No. 58 Cut, where the grade is being reduced from SI feet to 42V= feet per mile, with equations for curvature. It is expected that "the cutting down of this grade will enable the iweivers to increase tho train load from 1,000 ton3 to 1.300 tons on .ist-boumi trains. One mile of tho ronrlway will be lowered and it is p::pccted that tbe work will be complcud by the middle of October. ANTON SEIDL'S SUCCESSOR. Emil Paur, the successor of Antor. Seidl as conductor of the New Yoi'. Philharmonic society, is not only an able musician but a very popular muu. Paur came to this country in 1893 from Germany to be the leader of the Boston Symphony orchestra. At that time Herr Paur had all the appearance of a continental artist. His hair was flowing, his beard untrimmed, his clothes were neglige and he was most unconventional in manner. Now he is trim and ultra-fashionaV»e, His career leader in Germany was noteworthy. He conducted opera and concert at Berlin, Koenigsbi>.'g, Leipsig, Mannheim, and Cassel. lime. Paur the new leader's wife, was Marie Burger, who, as a pianist, won considerable fame in Germany. She has had masters such as Lehert, Rubinstein, Bruckner, Leschetslcy and Essipofl. She practices enthusiastically. The Paur home is disdered voluntarily to Admiral Dewey at Manila. Lieut. Peral, the efficer, reported that he had come out of the Pam pan eras river, having1 been beset on all sides by rebels, who had cut off all l'ood supplies, ami Spanish at Pampanrri\ s were starvinsr. The Leyte had on iiourd a load of sick and wounded, fticludiner m»ny womun. Admiral Dewey held tlieni as prisoners of war until Manila's fate is decided. A considerable sum of money was found on board and Admiral Dewey ordered the officers and crew of the Leyte paid in full out of it. Gen. M"'l',is lias* cabled that he has all the 1 iv><sp.-, needed for the conquest TQ MBS. PJNKHAM From Mrs. Walter B. Budd, of Pa*» ohoffue, New York.

Franchises have been asked for through several townships in Oakland Co. by the Flint and Lansing Electric Road Co. The plan as outlined by one of the company's officers is to ruu, a line from Flint to Lansing Mid then east to Farmington to connect with the Detroit line now being built.—Enterprise. The Business Men's Convention to be held in Detroit on the 23rd, 24th and 25th of August 1898, is under the auspices of 12 of the leading Commercial organizations of Detroit, including the Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, Manufacturer's Club and the Merchants and Manufacturer's ExijEangeT" ffT A Broken Chain. Among the devices for raising money, the Chain letter is one of the most deceptive. The average person does not stop to consider the enormous sum involved in ft geometrical progression and gives the small sum demanded with no thought other than he is helping a good cause. Recently a lady of no commercial rating, conceived the suheun1 of buyiug ice for our sick and wounded soldiers, raising the necessary funds by this moans: She wrote four letters numbering each 1, requesting that each recipient should send her ten cents and write four copies of the original letter numbering each 2, and so on until the number 50 shall be reached when the recipients should simply send the dime and the chain would be completed. The letter to which my attention has been called is Tiumbered 23, hence the logical assumption is that all the No. 22's have been paid. The annexed computation shows how much must have been the merchants and business men of Michigan an opportunity and an incentive to visit the State's metropolis in one great gathering, here to enjoy two or three days of pleasures in the most beautiful city in the country. Those of our visitors who wish to inspect the factories and salesrooms and meet the dealeis in those lines of trade in which they nre particularly interested, will have RU opportunity to do so, while those who prefer to give the entire time to recreation and enjoyment will find the hours well filled. An organization consisting the! leading wheelmen from every part' of the state has been perfected, whose object is to construct a bicycle path from the south Michi-! gan. line to_ilifi_ .slraits_of Mecki-i liac. The path as now proposed; will run through Hillsdale. Lans-1 ing, St. John, Ithica, Mt. Pleasant, thence in a north-westernly direction to Grand Traverse Bay, and follow the shore of the lake to a terminus, thereby striking the famous summer rpsorts of northern Michigan and giving wheelmen an elegant route for summer outings, etc. The method oi raising money for the carrying on of the work will be done as follows: First, the secretary will issue three circular letters to cycling friands, requesting them to send him ten cents together with the names and addresses of three of their friends who would be likely to be interested. When he receives the answers from these three friends, that will conclude Series No. 1; then circulars marked Series No. 2 will be mailed to the nine persons recommended in the first series, with the same request as the first circulars, aud so on through the chain until twelve series shall have been issued. If the chain has not been broken, *l,G77,721.60 will have been secured for the project. of 22 series is $2,345,624,805,922. If there were 500,1)00 soldiers in the army, this sum would be sufficient to give them each a present of $4,091,249 and leave foj the collector $305,922. Is it not time to break the chain? A.

Ebsen, compositor on the Contra- Costa News, Martinez, Cal., writes; "I have used Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervlno and received much benefit from It. I was troubled •with nervousness, dizzy spells and sleeplessness, caused by the use of tobacco and stimulants. I took Dr. Miles' Nervine with marvelously good results, allaying the dizziness, quieting the nerves, and enabling mo to sleep and rest, proving in my case a vory beneficial remedy."

Th«M la Alao » Conutaat Supply of Lake Superior 1B th« largest body of ftaah water l^tho werM, n y a the San Praaciaoo Call. It li v i l i r of wonderful purity, which It holds, too; and •ome time, and in the not *try distant future, elthsr, the peopte vno live in the large olttat to the weit and south will eoaae to tkla lake to gst the water f«r tlMi* hoofes. It wOl not be so re- Marliabla an engineering foat to pipe the wm£*r af this lak«, pure and spark- Uof and fraah, from Its cold depths to ttaoe citlas, waich are M V ttruggling with the qnestiom of tfiair water aupplf aad meeting ail sorts of difficulties in their efforts to get Vater fit to drink. At the very moat the temperature varies through the winter and Bummer not more than six degrees. Winter ana summer this great lake never changes to any appreciable extent, so that if you dip your finger tips in the blue surface on a day In July, or if you test U some day In early winter, when you hare been-out on some belated, icemalied flshlog smack, or when you have gone out to watefo the fishermen spearing their supplies through the thick ice In mid-J^ttiuary, you wHl find but a trifling difference in the temperature. Away down at the bottom, too, there is but little variation in the temperature, for it steads' at nearly 40 degrees Fahrenheit at the bottom, and varies from 40 to 46 degrees winter and summer at the surface. The other lakes, though cold, are not In this respect like Superior. The whole bottom of the lake is believed to be a strong rock basin, though it would agein that jhMJtmust be great springs at the bottom to help keep up the enormous volume of.water. From the north there is a large amount of water pouring into the lake year in and year out, the swift-rushimg, narrowbanked NIpigon and other streams furnishing no small part of the supply. These streams in a large measure make up for the loss on the surface. One of the old lake captains, a bronzed kindly faced man, who bad been for thirty-five years on the lakes aad had fac«d death many a time in the frightful storms which sometimes rweep across these beautiful bodies of water, taM> me, as we were passing along near the north ooaat of Superior, with tha headlands and inlets and gloety green bluffs of that most picturesque sh*M In M l view, that the theory that the take is skrwty going down in size wae true. He maintained that he could tall from certain landmarks along the shores, with which he is as familial' as he would be with the streets of his old Scottish birthplace, that the lake was slowly—very slowly—but swely receding. However, it will be some centuries yet before there will be any appreciable lessening of the great lakes, J. H. Davidson of Wfe* has introduced a bill to tbe house of rspreseatative* providing that 9«re, wholesome theese shall hereafter constitute a portion of the ration sf our soldiers. 8uoa a measurs Is timely and important, for sheess is <tnm of the cheapest foods available to man. It is condensed, has no waste, requires no preparation for consumption and is peculiarly suited for nourishing soldfert In their fatiguing labors in a tropical climate. Brery person interested in dairying should work for th« wider distribution and more general use of lairy products. Every former who reads this article Is urged to write at once to his member of congress in both houses urging their immediate support of the Davidson bill. If our dairymen will do their duty congress will no doubt enact the Davidson bill into a law within the next two weeks, In time to render our soldiers now in the field a genuine service. Butter makers as well as cheese manufacturers are interested in the measure, for every pound of milk turned Into cheese leaves the market in that much better shape for butter, and aside from personal interests we are all desirous of seeing dairy products more largely consumed because of their wholesomeness, palatability and the low cost for nutriment furnished. Congress is now debating the question of adjournment, and unless there is quick action by our people the measure may fall this session, ! Will not every dairyman make this a personal matter and write at least a postal card to his representative and lenaterTTirlllf t l i r tllyTu^p^rTTne Davidson bill? "In union there la strength." Let us see how quickly the Davidson bill will become a law! W. A. Henry, Dean of Wisconsin Agricultural College. The Other Waj Around* The loyalty of the Scottish Highlander to his kilt Is a picturesque thing. H« will never admit that it makes h l n cold; and Highlanders who were suffering from cold in the ordinary dress of civilization have been known to substitute the kilt for it, in order to get warm—though this would be much like removing one's coat and waistcoat and rolling up one's shirtsleeves for the same purpose. It is said that a stranger, seeing a soldier in full Highlander uniform shivering in a cold wind, asked him: "Sandy, are you cold with the kilt?" "Na, na. mon," the soldier answered, indignantly, "but I'm nigh kilt with thf> cauld.<t" Bnckleu'n Arnica Salve.

After Savvinjc a B»br« Li** He Modestly Tuk«t to tbe Wood*. Train No. 20 on the Indianapolis and Vincennes, in charge of Conductor P. W. Russe of Indlanapolki, was tearing along toward Indianapolis yesterday evening fifty miles an hour. The train waa loaded with passengers and was behind time. Bast of Edwardsport Engineman Doreey saw on the track far ahead a dog that was jumping about and acting In a peculiar manner. The dog's actions looked suspicious and, as a measure of caution, Dorsey shut off the steam, so as to have his train under control. When the train reached a nearer point the dog stood and barked at it, and then, with a yelp, started for the woods. Then it was that Dorsey saw that th«re was something red between therallt, and he threw on the emergency brakes and opened the sand box. The train came to a standstill within ten feet of a pretty, flaxen-haired baby in a red frock. The child was about 2 years old and had been playing with the dog. The train crew ran forward and Baggageman Franklin picked up the child, which laughed and crowed and patted his face in glee. ' About one thousand, eight hundred yards distant was a farmhouse, and toward it Franklin started with the baby, to meet a man running toward him like an insane person. It was the child's father, who had missed the baby just as the train stopped and supposed that the little one had been killed. How it got so far away from home and into such a dangerous place no on* could understand. Tbe passengers were .considerably joltad by the sudden stopping of tbe train. but ko one waa hurt, and when they learned the cause of It they clustered about Engineer Domey and congratulated bin OD ais caution. and Frankfort—Thursday, Aug. 25, the Ann Arbor Railroad will sell tickets to the above resorts, limited for return to Saturday, Sept. 3, at a low rate of $5 for the round trip.

"Thank the Lord, my dearie, ye're back In safety! I was half demented (n tb/s w ul storm, thinking ycu might tbe killed," said the good woman, drawing Day in by the hand. "Yesi,p$\}" sajd Day, W voice brokeu.and parting, "There's some oae down there who, I am afraid, has been killed By it." And, as briefly as possible, she told what bad occurred. "Now, Bell, what I wish you to do is to run and get Jamie, and come down with me to the road. J think you and Jamie can? manage to carry him up between you." Bell was 'considered one of the strongest women within the island. "Then Jamie must go to Crag Castle for the doctor as fast as ever he can." Bell did not oppose her young mistress, though it was with a considerable amount of fear that she ventured forth. Jamie, the farm lad, was still worse, hanging back in evident terror, and starting nervously at every flash. But both were, awed to a solemn silence when they looked upon the white and apparently dead face turned upward to Htorrny sky^and every-few illuminated by the awful glare of the lightning. "He's a deid man," said Jamie presently, in a low, awe-stricken voice. "There's no use carrying him up to the house, missis; it's wasted labor." "No, no! do as I tell you," said the girl, with an imperiousness she could use at times. "There may still be life in him—we do not know—and God may spare it. Carry him into the house, and then run down to Mr. Banks, Jamie, and ask him to let you saddle his horse and ride to Crag Castle as fast as ever you can for the doctor." Her orders were obeyed. In less than ten minutes the unconscious man was lying on the couch in the sittingroom, and. Jamie was hurrying to Farmer Bank's, sorely against his will, though the storm was already fr tfinning to abate. Meanwhile Bell, who had not been In a doctor's household for twenty years for nothing, tried, with such simple remedies as she could think of, to ness. But all her efforts were of no avail—the deathly pallor, the fixed rigidity of; that strong face still remained unbroken. "I fear—I fear," said Bell, standing up and shaking her head at last, "there's not much hope here, Miss Day. Ay, it's a sad thing, such a noble-looking young fellow as he is, and a gentleman, as any one may see. Well, I've done all I can, so you'd better come away, dearie, and leave him till the doctor comes," "I shall stay here with him, Bell. You can go and see about your work," said the girl quietly. "He might come out of it, you know; and it would bo terrible if there was no one beside him when he recovered consciousness." "Just as you please, Miss Day," said the faithful Bell. But she shook her head as she went out of the room, muttering: "Ah, the poor hairn! she has not seen death as often as I have." Day sat perfectly still in her chair a little distance away from the couch, with her eyes fixed on the face lying on the cushion. Something in It fascinated and almost mesmerized her. She could not withdraw her eyes. So young a face it was, so handsome, so refined! And only half an 'hour ago the owner had been full of youthful strength and energy, and had perhaps been thinking, as he sped along that long country road, of many a plan and scheme for his future life. And now he lay there, cold and still, and they said he was dead. Oh, it could not be! it could not! A low cry burst almost involuntarily from Day's lips, and, rising from her seat, she went to the couch, falling on her knees beside it, and'covering her face with her hands. ' "God have mercy!" she prayed, speaking aloud in her" passionate earnestness. Her head sank lower, and for a long time she remained kneeling thus, feeling the warm tears run defcrto her cheeks and drop on the cushion on which the unconscious man's head rested—the tears of pity for the unknown and lonely stranger, whose friends could not weep for him because they did not know what had befallen him. Suddenly Day fancied she felt a motion beside her, as if the man had sighed or drawn a long breath. With o. nervous start she lool^d £p quickly. ' The eyes in the midst of that death- • ?f pal* face—Jt was no less pale than man__tn fonsrlouw- | acated in MlsrSfifart's dainty boudoir, before—were wide open, and staring ai her with strange fixity. For a moment a vague, powerless, superstitious fear rushed over Day's soul, seeming to clutch her heart in an icy grasp, The face waa still so like that of a dead man, and the eyes seemed to have no sight in them. Then she summoned her brave, womanly spirit to her aid, and, putting out her hand, gently placed it on hia. "Don't speak," she said, very softly. And Day Halcrow's voice was one of the sweetest In the world when modulated by pity and sympathy. "You had a nasty fall from your bicycle, you know; but I hope you will soon be all right. My brother, who is a doctor, will soon be home, and I am sure he will be able to cure you." Those dark, brooding eyes still gazed at her, never once removing their glance from her faee. The gaze frightened Day, but she made another brave effort. "You are among friends here, you know; so you don't need to be anxious or disturbed about anything. We shall take care of you until you are quito better." stranger=»rt last, speaking in a deep, toneless voice. He hesitated for a long time, then at last added: "And God bless you for— for what you have done. You have been kind. I cannot thank you now—the words will not come; but, if God spares me, presently." Then he lapsed into silence again; and, as his eyes closed, Day stole softly from the room to summon Bell. Meantime Magnus Halcrow was at Crag Castle. The Westrays of Crag Castle had been lords of the soil for generations past, and were also proprietors <>f many broad acres on the Scottish mainland; but now a time had come when the heritage of many brave and daring men had fallen into the hands of a girl, and Lilith Stuart queened il at Crag Castle. It was the Dowager Lady Wastray— a distant relative of Miss Stuart's, who also acted as her chaperon—whom Dr. Magnus Halcrow had eome to visit professionally; but his patient was not yet able to see him, and he was now drinking a cup of afternoon tea, poured out by her own slim, white hands. "It is BO oppressively hot that I feel as if even tea drinking were an effort," she said, smiling—and Lilith Stuart's smile was a wonderful one—as she handed him his cup. What was the secret of Lilith Stuart's strange power over him? None could say—or, rather, every one assigned it to a different cause. Her female acquaintances denied that Lilith was beautiful—and certainly her features were not perfect; yet there was a strange, subtle fascination, far greater than that of beauty, in the half-closed, slumbrous, blue-back eyes, usually so modestly veiled by their long dark lashes, but sometimes flashing a look of bewildering, maddening brightness upon those who had been patiently waiting for it; in the droop of the soft, red mouth, whose whole expression was so oddly changed when she smiled; above all, in the smile itself. The face was fair and somewhat pale; the hair of a ruddy, auburn hue. There were those who called Lilith Stuart a modern Cleopatra, and those who gave her even more unpleasant names; but as those were mostly discarded lovers, their opinions were not to be trusted. And Magnus Halcrow, that great, noble, simple-minded son of the Vikings of old, had also fallen a prey to Lilith's strange fascination. He himself knew it, and chafed at the knowledge; for he was proud and independent, and could never stoop to sue for that which was ,«o far above him. "I think a thunderstorm is not far off, and I am glad; it will clear the air," he said, in answer to Lilith's remarks. "O, I hope not! I hate thunderstorms; I am so afraid!" cried Lilith. Even as she spoke there was a vivid flash, and in a few moments the storm broke in all its fury. CHAPTER IV. Lilith's face turned pale, and her lips quivered as if in abject terror. Pear is not an ennobling expression on the human countenance; and it was so altogether foreign to Magnus Halcrow's nature that for a moment he experienced a sensation not' altogether flattering as he saw it depicted in Lilith's. As flash succeeded flash she caught nis arm nervous];' and chins: to it. Magnus was sitting close to the window. She drew h :v, j'.a*. "Oh, i<c i3 awful! Do come bacK rrom the window; I am so frightened—so horrlb'v frightened! What if it were to striKe us? How awful to die so suddenly!" "There Is no danger, Miss Stuart," said Magnus soothingly. He yielded to her pressure on his arm, and allowed himself to be drawn from the window towards the couch on which Lilith had been sitting. Lilith still clung to his arm. "Oh, I know you are good and brave, and you think me a coward! Well, I dare say I am—weak and cowardly and womanish. I wish I were brave. I wish you could teach me to be brave, as you are!" There was a momentary lull in the storm, and Lilith's words, spoken In that low, subtle-sweet voice of hers, were distinctly audible to Magnus. His pulse thrilled, his heart throbbed. Lilith's face was close to his shoulder— so close that, by putting out his hand, he could have drawn her within hia arm; he could almost feel her breath upon his cheek. It was a temptation. Lilith strangely appealed to the sensuous part in Magnus' nature—for every human being has a twofold nature, one part spiritual, the other sensuous and material; but whether Magnus would have yielded to it or not was never known, for at that moment the door opened gently and another girl came In. Magnus rose to his feet, a slight flush on his face. It was Impossible to say whether the new-comer noticed it or not. She extended her hand calmly. "Lady Westray is able to see you now, Dr. Halcrow," she said. Magnus knew Elspeth Troll well. They had played together as children, and Elspeth was not far from his own age, which was twenty-six. She had cirtid=of~ tfre^Manse Tit Finstray in those days. Now both parents were dead, and for five years Elspeth had been part companion, part secretary to Lady Westray. Now that Lady Westray was no longer lady of the manor, but that lady's chaperon— for the widow of the late Sir James had been left poor—Elspeth occupied a somewhat anomalous position. Sh* was a tall, slender girl, with a grave, thoughtful face, whose only beauty lay In the eyes—dark brown, soft and earnest. They looked at Magnus often with an expression whose meaning he could not fathom, but which made him vaguely uneasy. He rose to follow her from the room. As he did so there was a startling glare of light, and overhead a rattling peal, which seemed to shake the whole house. Lilith uttered a cry and clung to Magnus. "Oh, don't go! don't leave me alone! Lady Westray can wait; there is no hurry!" "Lady Westray is nervous about the •thunder-storm, Miss Stuau," said EIspeth, in her quiet tones, which might have almost seemed emotionless if it were not for a certain flash in her brown eyes, which Magnus caught as she raised them for one moment, and then let them fall again. "That is why she wishes to see Dr. Halcrow at once." "But you are keeping her company!" Lilith cried. Then she raised her imploring eyes to Magnus' face. What man could resist that look? "Miss Troll will stay with you, Miss Stuart. There is nothing to be afraM of," said Magnus, gently loosening her hold. "You know my first duty is to my patient." "Duty? Ah, what an unpleasant word that Is!" said Lilith. "But I have no right to detain you; only you will come back before you leave the castle?" "I shall come back!" Magnus replied gravely. Then he left the room. But he had barely escaped from Lady Westray, who was a nervous, selfish hypochondriac, for whom no one had any affection save Elspeth Troll, when the messenger arrived from Abbot's Head, covered with perspiration and pale with fright. Magnus was met on his way to Lilith's sitting-room by a footman with the message. "It's a matter of life and death, sir, the young man bade me tell you," said the pompous functionary. "Tell him to return to Abbot's hw-.d at once, and I shall overtake him," said Dr. Magnus. He snatched a moment to say farewell to Lilith, who was still sitting in a corner of her room hiding her eyes from every flash of lightning; while Elspeth Troll bent aw dark eyes over a heavy seam. Elspeth, as Magnus knew well, never Idle, but employed all the time she could spare from Lady Westray in working for the poor. "Going? Ah. It is unkind—it Is positively cruel of your* said LJtttfc -when Magnus announced his intention. "And in such a storm! Must I exercise my woman's right, and forbid it?" "You will not, Miss Stuart, I t*m sure/' said Magnus, holding her hand fast and feeling his palse thrill, you know duty calls me away." (To be Continued.} He: "I beg your pardon, but wereal we once engaged to be married?** She: "It's quite likely. 1 thought just now when I saw you that your face looked familiar!"—Unsere Gesellschaft BEAUTIFUL HOMES.

Near the little town of Woods Corners, about six miles from Ionia, resides R. L. Pierson. Mr. Pierson, a farmer by occupation, and like all hard working tillers of the soil he has found the burdens the back must bear no light load to carry. Few people who never lived on the farm appreciate what it means to follow the plow from sunrise to suDset, but if the public in general don't know how hard such work is, the kidneys do. Long hours of work of any kind means long hours for the kidneys, and they can't stand it without rebelling. When the farmer comes home tired out at night, if he only re* alized that the tired feelings mostly always came from tired kidneys, and that the little wonder-workers, Doan's Kidney Pills, would right the wrong brought on by over-work, life would be easier for him. Read what Mr. Pierson says about his experience: I noticed when I stooped, lifted or changed my position suddenly, early in the fall of 1897, that I was always rewarded with sharp paiaa across the small of my back, and In the morn- IDS I was so lame and sore that I could scarcely get out of bed. The too frequent action of tha kidney secretions, especially annoying at night, plainly indicated that my kidneys were the cause of the trouble. I had often heard Doan's Kidney Pilts spoken about by my neighbors, and as it was the first time I required such a preparation. I procured a tJox. I notioed their beneficial effects in a day or two and I continued the treatment until my backache was cured and the other weakness was thoroughly relieved. 1 make no mistake when I say that Doan's Kidnev Pills cure backache und kidney complaint.

An "Mr. Jones," The «r«at Powder Maker Boa K tit All Thore Was In Eagianil mad Cb»rtf«d tho Uov«rn* meat Mothlay. On tho banjtt of the Brandywine, in Delaware, are the great Dupont powder mills. Established In 1802 by the French Royalist, Bleuthere T. Dupont de Nemours, who found Republican France an uncongenial home, they have grown to be the greatest mills in the world for the making of explosives. At the time of the civil war the Duponts were, as they are today, powdermakers for the United States government. In 1801 the secretary of war sent for the Duponts, and La Motto Dupont, one of the heads of the firm, went to Washington in reply to the summons. "Are you prepared to furnish a very large amount of gunpowder?" said the secretary of war. "That depends on our obtaining saltpetre," was the answer. "The saltpetre of the world is mined in India, of course, under the control of the British government, and the markets are in London and Liverpool." The secretary of war was startled. If England should prove unfriendly during the course of the war which was opening, the .'saltpetre market would, of course, be closed to the United States. "The government must buy a larse amount at'once," he said. United States cannot go into the market and buy saltpetre at any reasonable price—indeed, it might not be able to buy it at all; but the Duponts can get it without exciting comment." "Will you go to England and buy It—buy all there is?" Mr. Dupont agreed to go, and he and the secretary of war talked a few moments longer; they made a few figures, and the powder man was provided with letters of credit on the Rothschilds. On the next steamer he sailed for England and presented himself with letters of introduction to the Rothschilds. "Very sorry, Mr. Dupont, your letters of credit have not arrived"— and he was bolitely bowed uot. He next presented letters of introduction to Baring Brothers, the London correspondents of the Duponts. One of the firm, a Mr. Archibald, cordialy received the powder manufacturer. "Very happy to meet you, Mr. Dupont; we have never had the pleasure of meeting a Dupont, although we have done business with the firm for fifty years." "I am very glad to meet you," said the American, "for I am in need of money." "We shall be most happy to furnish you with all that you require. About how much will you need?" Mr. Dupont looked meditatively at the floor for a moment, and Mr. Archibald looked with some curiosity at his American customer. A homely man was this powder-maker; high cheekbones, a square chin, covered with a thin, uneven bristly beard, spc:iacles on his deep, kind eyes: a man who somewhat resembled Lincoln in the character of his face. Mr. Archibald thought he might wnut several hundred pounds. 1 he American had perhaps found London a little more expensive than in his western simplicity, he had supposed. Mr. Dupont, looking up, said: ""I shall want £500,000, and I want it right away." Mr. Archibald was .amazed—only British phlegm prevented bis exhibiting his astonishment. "Was this American a new Monte Cristo! "By 'right away,' do you mean now?" he managed to ask. "T -nean in twenty-four hours; that Is wflat we call 'right away1 in the United States." "You will pardon me if I consult my partners—it is a good deal or money." Mr. Dupont admitted that it was a good deal of money, and he took his hat. "By the way. when you send worn to my hotel, ask for 'Mr. Jones'; I am registered under that, name." Mr. Dupont. having no money to bvy saltpetre, went sieht>ecing arid ?pe:u the evening at the theater. Defovo ':c was cut of bed the next morning Mr. Archibald calied. Fie had called t1;*? night before and found Mr. Duj/v.vt out. The Barings would let Mr. Dupont have the money. Mr. Archibald was hardly gone when an agent of the Rothschilds hastened In with profuse apologies. The letters of credit had arrived: they came ou the game steamer with Mr. Dupont. but were delayed in transmission. i Mr. Dupont now had money to burn • (this it not altogether slang), and he i set out to buy saltpe:re. He proposed to buy not only the large lots, but to buy them all. He went first to Liverpool, and found the saltpetre in the hands of four dealers. He was a "Mr. Jonet," who waated saltpetre. He called on the head of one firm; the dealer had so many hundred bags. 300 pounds to a bag, so much per pound. "Mr. Jones" bargained like a cautious man, who wanted to get his money's worth. He would call again. After visiting the other three dealers, he went back to the first, bought the stock and presented his check. "We don't know Mr. Jones." "Wire to Barings' or Rothschilds'." The reply came: "Mr. Jones has credit for any amount." He bought the stack of all the dealers, and each man hugged himself with delight because he had sold his saltpetre, until he had discovered that there was none In the market, and the price had advanced; therefore the balance of his days he cursed the tricky Vankee. Meanwhile "Mr. Jones" had bought all the saltpetre in London at what wa3 virtually his own price. When he came to the last dealer, however, some rumor had preceded him, and the dealer said: "I have 500 bags, and it Is not for sale." "Ah!" said "Mr. Jones," "you are keeping it for a curio. Good morning." CALM AFTER STORM. Washington ' Qalcltly Settle* Down to Pursuits of Peace. Washington: The White House, the war department und the navy depart* ment have resumed their usual qni* tude, a condition which has not pre* vailed since the Maine was blown up in Havana harbor, February 15. The busy, warlike attitude haa entirely disappeared and Washington has settled down to a peace bauis. The President believe3 that the moqt serious problem which the peace commission will be called upon to deal with is the Philippines. Before the commission assembles it is hoped tho affairs of Cuba and Porto Rico will tee found in such process of adjustment & to leave little for the commission to .consider under that head. The faet that the Philippines will present ihfa difficult problem has caused the administration to give it a great deal of care* ful attention. Several suggestions have been maclc as to what shall b& done. It is believed, however, that the administration and the commission) will be greatly influenced by the reports which Admiral Dewey and Qea. This great supply of saltpetre bought, Merritt will make on the subject. the next thing was to hire ships to carry it to America. He found American vessels In Liverpool which would undertake to transport it, a matter of some risk, for saltpetre was contraband of war. The loading began; everything moved slowly. Mr. Dupont was exasperated at the tedious delays, for all the means of transportation moved deliberately in England. At last the vessels were ready, and he informed the harbor master that the ships would sail at high^tide that §Yening. The_; "fiarEor master found it impossible to have the papers ready—it would take two or three days. There was red tape here and red tape there. Mr. Dupont was new in a fever of impatience. Every hour increased the danger of me government finding out that all the saltpetre in England was about to go over the sea; another day's delay and the ships might not sail at all. He pressed the harbormaster for the clearance papers. The polite official explained that it would cost him his position if it was known that he had violated the rules. "And how much is your position worth?" "Three hundred pounds a year." Mr. Dupont looked at the harbor master attentively—he was a man of over sixty years, Then he put his hands in his pockets and looked out the office window, which bristled with masts of all nations. Now, Mr. Dupont knew his Dumas well, and at that method he was turning over in his mind the method of the Count of Monte Cristo used to rid a garden of dormice which ate his peaches. "I should like to draw a check for I2.QCQin exchange forthepapera,'*hesaid. The ships sailed on the next tide. When Mr. Dupont reported to the secietary of war there was a love feast in the office of the war department. After the cengratulations were over the secretary said: "How much do we owe you, Mr. Dupont?" The powdermaker named the amount of his expenses,to which he added $15,- 000 to the harbormaster. "Put what charge do you make for your services in the negotiation?" Then this Franco-American, who mi^ht have demanded a princely sura for his extraordinary services, bowed to the jccretary and replied: '"I have had the distinguished honor cf helping the government; I wish nothing further." There is a sequel to this story. When the v.ar wa; over Mr. Dupont, realizing the tremendous risk run by ihe government in relying upon native saltpeter, set himself to indenting an artificial substitute, and hereafter.with mountains of nitrate of soda in Chili and potash everywhere, the United States will never be in such straits again. In 1SS1 this distinguished powdermaker fell a victim to his enthusiasm for his business, and while experimenting with hiph explosives, was killed in an explosion. LoveMck SualU. A scientist has been patiently watching the snails in one of the large Lon- (!•:•: :•;•.' ;;e::*. and lias discovered the rue (Ms by v.\iich they show their affection far each other. "The snail," savs ii:e scicunst, "carries its eyes in telesforie watch-towers. They are in the t:ue tips cf its horns, and as soon another snail approaches these .f are drawn in, and the little ani v/aits for his lady love to get clos> before surprising her. The emo tlon:l natures of snails, as far as love a ad afToction are concerned, seem to le hiehly developed, and they show plainly by thoir actions when courting the tenderness they feel for one another. If another snail comes along they immediately retire to the shelter of a dead leaf; or hide behind a paling. I have noticed, too, a love-sick snail fetching dainty bits of green -or his sweetheart from different parts of the garden." "**ils scientist also declares that snails have a manner of putting their beads together that U not i:n'.::.? the general mode of kisaisg. more troops will be sent to Gen. Merritt unless he asks for them. I t is believed at the war department that the 16,000 men now there an? sufficient to garrison Manila and the ground, whieji the United States for the present will occupy. The final determination as to the government of Porto Kico and the settlement of the government of Cuba are problems, but the impression prevails that these islands will become quite rapidly Americanized, and every encouragement for them to do so_\y_ill be giveTarnPorto Tlico=wTlI be under anilitary control for the present. Cuba will be similarly governed, but it is probable that American reforms in the matter of government w 11 be such that the people of Cuba will see the advantage of becoming annexed to the United States. There has bcon little doubt about soon settling the transfer of Porto Rico, and the reception which, the American troops have received in that island is a justification for the belief. Porto Rico will be treated as an American possesMon. Military postoffices will be established at once wherever troops arc stationed and a t such other points as may be demanded by the interests of Americans and the people of the island, if the present offices are not available. A similar course will be taken in Cuba, but this is likely to be delayed, as the immediate removal of the Spanish and the occupation by the United States is not expected All of the troops that were with Gen. Shafter in the Santiago campaign will be out of Cuba by Aup-ust L'5 at the latest. Gen. Shafter will accompany them to Montauk Point. There will remain at Santiago five regiments of imtmnres to do garrison ttutyT" Gen. Miles has about 15,000 men in Porto Rico. They will be sufiicient for the occupation of the island and perhaps more than are needed after the Spanish evacuation. The remainder of the troops will remain in the various camps to which they have been aligned for the pre-ent, though something may be done looking towards diminishing1 the number when it becomes apparent that they lire no longer needed. The government will dispose of the ! transports that have been iu use us fast i as they can be reiea-erl and are no longer required for service. All vessels of the navy that can be spared from service in the West Indies will be ordered to ports in the states, where the men will bo :?iven brief holidays. The battleships of the fleet will be put in dry dock as soon as possible and undergo such repairs as may be necessary. There is .scarcely a vessel of the navy [ that does not need docking. The auxj iliary vessels of the navy which will not be used fpr the permanent navy will be disposed, of as soon as they go out of commission.

The Uattle of Saratoga. Saratoga, where Burgoyne's surrender took place, is counted by Sir Edward Creasy among the fifteen decisive battles of the world. By this verdict the American victory comes into a very small and very memorable company. The world's history is full of battles and sieges, and among this almost countless host only fifteen are deemei! worthy, by an accomplished historian, to take rank as decisive in the widest sense, an", ae affecting the destiny of mankind. By what title does Saratoga rise to this dignity? Certainly not from the numbers engaged, for they were comparatively small. The victory was comHe'.r. it is true, but an army of 10,- 000 nvc:.i h;;s been beitten and has surrendnr-<; many tinif> without deciding anything, not even the issue of a campaign. From the military point of view the blow was a heavy one to England, but she has suffered greater losses than this in her career of conquest and still has come out victorious. —The fact is that the s;£aiiieaiice_ai- Saratoga lies less in what it actually was, than in what it proved and what it brought to pass. It showed the fighting quality of the American people, and demonstrated that they were able to rise up around a powerful and disciplined force and hunt it down to ruin and surrender. The prospect of conqueri;)" a people capable of such fighting, defended by three thousand miles of ocean and backed by the wilderness, was obviously slight. Saratoga meant, further, that the attempt to control the Hudson, and thus divide the states, had definitely failed. The t-norrr.ous advantage of a united country for military purposes had heen won, and the union Of the new states, which, physically as well as politically, was essential to victory, had been secured, and, once ?r cured, this meant ultimate eucce.-=. Last, and most important of all. the surrender of Uurgnyne and the Utter wreck of his campr.isr. convinced Europe of these very facts, or, in other words, as^uvt-.l foreign powers that the revolted colonies v.v,uld win in the end. —From "The ?tory of the Revolution," by 'Senator H.

Much interest has been excited by the armor-piercing power given to steel projectiles by the addition of a cap of soft metal, steel, iron, or copper. Tht regular projectile terminated In a point. A cylinder of soft.steel one-half the diameter of the projectile, and about as high as it is thick, has an approximately conical hole made in IU cud, extending about two-thirds through it. A small cavity contains a little grease as a lubricant. This ia fastened over the point' of the projectile, It seems to support the point, preventing it from crushing, and enables it to pierce hardened face armor of the highest resisting power.

Then It attacked Texa« fever, and haa accomplished much in making a stand against this disease, both by bringing to light the true nature of the disease and by making and enforcing quarantine laws suitable to the requirements. At last it has begun a warfare on hog cholera. It la true that this warfare has already beea carried on for several year* with little result, but there begins to appear some rifts in the darkne.-iH. Quarantining hog cholera has been tried to some extent, but hus proved very unsatisfactory. The task has proved too great fur the resources at hand. Efforts have been made to Inspect cars in which hogs are carried and to have th/m thoroughly disinfected, but the work has been but poorly done, and there are so many hogs constantly being .carried that a car once disinfected suon become* again a matter for relnspcotion. In fact, If the quarantining were to be anything like effective it would require a vast army of officials. Bo the officials of the Bureau of Animal Industry announce that they hope but little at this time from any efforts at quarantine. The disease is BO widespread that the germs are well-nigh omnipresent, at least in the Prairie States. Ultimately, the offieials believe, the quarantining and inspections wLH be effective, but this will be after the disease has been greatly reduced by other _ -means—Tim—<*£k^ a ^ a n s t o be &m~ A C o m m o n Weed.

CAD WELL, Pinckney, Mich. ployed is the injection into the blood of the hogs of a serum prepared by the government. The serum is prepared by inoculating horses or cows with the germs of the hog cholera and repeating the inoculations with gradually increasing doses until the animals have attained a high degree of immunity. The blood of such animals injected under the skin is believed to have the power^of curing sick hogs and of preventing well ones from becoming infected. Unless the blood is to be used immediately after It Is drawn, which is not often the case, it is allowed to coagulate or clot, and the liquid portion or serum is separated and preserved for future use. Th« bureau has been diligently working for several years to bring the serum treatment of hog cholera to the highest degree of efficiency. The most important point is, of course, to secure a serum with a high protective and \ curativ'e power. This is by no means an easy task. The officials say that there is no danger connected with the use of this serum, as there are no hog cholera i germs in it. It is hoped that the exj rjeriments planned for this year may ! result in much increase of knowledge j on the value of the treatment. We 1 have had a great many remedies ad- Toeated for the - ettrhtf?of hog eholera, but. up to the present time, all have proved delusive. Sanitary measures have accomplished much, but we have not been able to find a medicine that will take a sick hog nnd cure the disease with any certainty. If th<-> government succeeds it will revolutionize hog raising and gradually decrease the price of pork to the consumer. Cause* of Denth.

Gray for spring aud early summer wear is one of the fashionable modes this season, especially in the. thin, semi-transparent materials, of. which we shall sec .so many. The thin stuffs are mounted over colored linings, and, as the color must be rather pronolinced to give any effect, probably taffeta will be in use aeain. However, taffeta is not advisable as a lining to the extremely dinging: sheath style of skirt, and for this model satin is preferred.

It Js a little strange that many ralsera of hogs seem to think that dirt does not affect the health of the hog. By dirt we mean filth. We have visited farms where the hog runs were simply reeking with slimy filth, and the odor from them such that every warm wind Mowing from them made their vicinity unendurable. This has become so much the custom that creameries and cheese factories insist that no hog runs shall be in their vicinity, aud even the shippers of milk Insist that there .shall be no hog run near the plane where the shipping station in located. But we have seen hogs kept otherwise. We have seen them running in clean fields and eating clean food, burrowing when they desired to in clean soil. In such conditions there is no odor, nothing objectionable, and seldom any disease. We believe that were all hogs kept in proper cleanliness and mature animals used for breeding, the terrible disease of hog cholera would soon be BO reduced in importance that we would suffer little from it. Besides, it is without a question that hogs ao kept grow more rapidly than those allowed to live among stenches. • * * Among the most filthy places is frequently the stagnant pond in which the animals are supposed to cool themselves, and the water of which they drink. Who can doubt that this foul, warm, stagnant water soon becomes filled with disease germs of the most malignant character. It is through carejesaness that most of these ponds exist. If the hogs are to be allowed _a_ccess_to water j t .should be a running iBrbok" or pond that renews itself constantly. It is not a wonder that hogs having access to a slough filled with dirty water and filth should get sick. It is rather a wonder that any of them should have such constitutions that they are able to stand the ordeal. Without doubt many diseases other than cholera are due to these water-' disease traps. £H$patrtt# KVKl'.lf nii.'HSDAV >M'1M-Ni.i BY FRANK I..

Warm weather has a tendency to increase the floating population at seaside resorts. It's poor consolation to the girl who has been stung by a bee to know that bees are partial to sweet things. What defense could Uncle Sam put tip if Spain sued for damages for giving ncr imprisoned troops Indigestion? Spanish soldiers now refuse to go Into any battle unless they see the sign "A Hard Boiled Egg with Every Defeat." Matanzas had great fun at tho military funeral of the mule killed in the bombardment.

From I Samuel, 14:4, M Follows? MTh«*o W M m Shitrp Rook on One Side, and » Sharp ttook on the Other"—Scattering of the PhilUttnoa. siders this a very cold deal. Spain has a new explosive called daza with which it is hoped to accomplish wonders. It is projected in the form of a rocket and is guaranteed to sink anything from a rowboat to an island. It Is a sad story that comes from Spearfish, S. D., to the effect that the late Mrs. De Ledeboer died of a broken heart, produced by grief over her son going to the front with the Dakota troops. The Dakota contingent was sent to Manila to support Dewey, and Mrs. Ledeboer feared that her boy would never return. None but the mothers can ever know how their heart strings were pulled when their boys shouldered muskets and marched away under old glory to meet such fate as might be decreed to them. But the boys will come home one of these days, and then how proud the mothers will be of them. In the opinion of Carlos S. Fox, former United States vice-consul at Santiago, the surrender of that stronghold means the resumption of business, with good chances for wideawake, active business men, who grasp the situation* early to reap the greatest benefits. He says that, except a match factory in Santiago, there aro no manufacturing plants in eastern Cuba. Everything the people wear, eat and drink comes from other countries. This being the case, there will be a first-class opportunity for nil manufacturing enterprises. The land, which is fertile, but 60 far has not been properly tilled, is well adapted to raising coffee, sugar, tobacco and cattle, which, according to Mr. Fox. could be sent to the United States without causing competition with home products. In the interior the land abounds with mahogany, cedar and other kind3 of timber. Concluding, the vice-consul aays that a railroad is needed from Santiago to Havana, a distance of about 400 mihs. This would greatly develop the country. The latest reports from the Arctic gold fields indicate a decided change ol sentiment among the luiners in favor of seeking their gold on the American side of the line. Such a revulsion was to be expected and the idea is to be commended. The Klondike is not the >nly gold region in the Yukon valley. There is every reason to believe that there are just as rich, deposits in tbe Alaskan streams aft in those of the northwest territory, and they can be prospected and worked under much more liberal restrictions. The fact that the Klondike output of gold has fallen somewhat below what even the most conservative expected is in large part due to the needlessly heavy tax laid on mining enterprises by the Canadian government. The fact that the government has collected a tax of $800,000 on $7,000,000 is bound to have its deterrent effect upon the full development of the country. There is reason to believe that the Canadian authorities have overreached themselves in this matter, and the marked movement that has now begun toward Alaskan streams * promises soon to prove that Canada's loss will be our gain. Forty Mile creek, which was the original Yukon gold field, Is being worked again, and it Is just as reasonable to expect that new and richer strikes will be made on our side of the line as on the other. American prospectors will do well in future to keep this fact in mind and locate their claims where they can work them without exorbitant taxation. The cruel army of the Philistines must be taken and scattered. There is just one man, accompanied by his body-guard, to do that thing. Jonathan is the h«ro of the scene. 1 know that David cracked the skull of the giant with a few pebbles well slung, and that 300 Gideonites scattered ten thousand Amalekitea by the crash of broken crockery; but here 1B a more wonderful conflict. Yonder are the Philistines on the rocks. Here is Jonathan with his bodyguard in the valley. On the one side is a rock called Bozez; on tho other side is a rock called Seneh. These two were as famous in olden times as in modern times are Plymouth Rock and Gibraltar. They were precipitous, unscalable and sharp.B Between these two rocks Jonathan must make his ascent The day comes for the scaling of the height. Jonathan, on his hands and feet, begins the ascent. With strain, and slip and bruise, I suppose, but still on and up, first goes Jonathan and then goes his bodyguard. Boaez on one side, Seneh on the other. After a sharp tug and push, and clinging, 1 see the head of Jonathan above the hole in the mountain; and there is a challenge, and a fight, and a supernat- Jonathan and Ms bodyguard, drive back and drive down the Philistines over the rocks, and open a campaign which demolishes the enemies of Israel. I suppose that the overhanging and overshadowing rocks on either side, did uot balk or dishearten Jonathan or his bodyguard, but only roused and filled them with enthusiasm as they went up. "There was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side.' My friends, you have been, or aro now, some of you, in this crisis of the text. If a man meets one trouble he can go through with it. He gathers all his energies, concentrates them on one point, and in the strength of God or by his own natural determination, goes through it. But the man who has trouble to the right of him, and trouble to the left of him, is to be pitied. Did either trouble come alone, he might endure it, but two troubles, two disasters, two overshadowing misfortunes are Bozez and Seneh. God pity him! "There is a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side." In thia crisis of the text is that man whose fortune and health fail him at the same time. Nine-teuths of all our merchants capsize in business before they come to forty-five years ot age. There is some collision in commercial circles, and they stop payment. It seems as if every man must put his name on the baek of a note before he learns what a fool a man is who risksall his own property on the prospect that some man will tell the tri^h. It seems as if a man must have a large amount of unsalable goods on his own shelf before he Iearn3 how much easier it is to buy than to sell. It seems; as if every man must be completely burned out before he learns the importance of always keeping fully insured. It seems as if every man must be wrecked in a financial tempest before he learns to keep things snug in case of a sudden euroclydon. When the calamity does come it is awful. The man goes home in despair, and he tells his family, "We'll have to go to the poor-hcuse." He takes a dolorous view of everything. It seems as if he never could rise. But a little time passes, and he saya, "Why, I am not so badly off after all; I have my family left." Before the Lord turned Adam out of Paradise, he gave him Eve, so that when he lost Paradise he could stand it. Permit one who has never react but a few novels In his lite, and wiio has not a great deal of romance in his composition, to say, that if, when a man's fortunes fail, he has a good wife —a good Christian wife—he ought not to 5e despondent. "Oh," ypu say, "that only increases the embarrassment, since you have her also to take care of." You are an ingrate, for the woman as often supports the man as the man suppor s he woman. The man may bring all the dollars, but the woman generally brings the courage and the faith in God. Well, this man of whom I am speaking looks around, and he finds his family is left, and he rallies, ami the light comes to his eyes and the smile to his face, and the courage to hia heart. In two years he is quite over !t. He makes his financial calamity the firat chapter In a new era of prosperity. He met that one trouble—conquered it. He sat down for a little while under the grim shadow of the rock Bozez; yet he soon rose, and began, like Jonathan, to climb. But how often is It th.it physical ailment comes with financial embarrassment! When the fortune tailed it broke the man's spirit. His nerves were shattered. His brain was Btunnod. 1 cuu yhow you hundreds of men iu our cities whose fortune and heaitk failed at the same time. They came prematurely to the staff. Their hand trembles with incipient paralysis. They never saw a well day Bince the hour when they called their creditors together for a compromise. If such men are impaTient, and peculiar, and Irritable, excuse them. They had two troubles, either one of which they could have met successfully. If, when the health went, the fortune had been retained, it would not have been so bad. The man could have bought the very best medical advice, and he could have had the very best attendance, and long lines of carriages would have stopped at the front door to Inquire as to his welfare. But poverty on the one side and sickness on the other are Bozez and Seneh, and they interlock their shadows, and drop them upon the poor man's way. , God help him! "Then* is a sharp rock on the one side and a sharp rock on the other side." :, * * * Now, a certain amount of persecution rouses a man's defiance, stirs his biood for magnificent battle, and makes him fifty times more a man than he would have been without the persecution. So it was -with the great Reformer when he said, "I will not be put down; I will be heard." And so It was with Millard, the preacher, In the time of Louis XI. When Louis XI. sent word to him that unless he stopped preaching in that style he would throw him into the river, he plied, 'Tell the king that I will reach heaven sooner by water than he will reach it by fast .horses." A certain amount of persecution is a tonic and inspiration, but too much of it, and too "long c onTTnu&T,"b~&Sbmie¥'TKeTocTt Berzez" throwing a dark shadow over a man's life. What is he to do then? Go home, you say. Good aCvice, that. That is just the place for a man to go when the world abuses him. Go home. Blessed be God for our quiet and sympathetic homes! But there is many a man who lias the reputation of having a home when he has none. Through uiuMnkingness or precipitation there are many matches mado that ought never to have been mai'.o An officiatn g priest cannot alom unite a couple. The Lord Almigiity must proclaim banns. There are many homes in which there is z^ sympathy, and no happiness, and no good cheer. The clamor of the battle may not have been heard outside, but God knov.-s, notwithstanding all the playing of tho "Wedding March," and all the odor of the orange blossoms, and the benediction of the officiating pastor, there haa been no marriage. So sometimes men have awakened to find on one side of them the rock of persecution, and on the other side of them the rock of domestic infelicity. What shall such a ime do?—fftj—as Jonathan did—climb. there are s.ai d i.ii.. eon the rock or bereavement on tho one side and the rock of destitution on the other! Bozos and Seneh interlocking their shad-> owe and dropping them upon he^mls* erable way. "There is a sharp rock OB the one etde, and a sharp rock on the, other aide." What are such to do? 8omehow, let them climb up into the heights of the glorloiiH promise: "Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive and let thy widows trust in me." Or get up into the- herghts ©f that other glorious promise: "The Lord pre- Berveth the stranger, and relieveth the widow and the fatherless." O, ye sewing women, on starving wages! O, ye widows, turned cut from the once beau* tlful homo! O, ye female teachers, kept on niggardly Btipend! 0, ye despairing women, seeking in vain foi\ work, wandering along the docks, and thinking to throw yourselves into the river last night! O ye women of weal; nerves and-aching sides, and short breath, and broken heart, you need something more than human sympathy; you need the sympathy of God. Climb tip into his arms. He knows tt all, and He loves you more than father or mother, or husband ever could or ever did; and, instead of sitting down, wringing your hands in despair, you had better begin to climb. There are heights of consolation for you, though now. "ihere is a sharp rock on one side, and a sharp rock on the other side." Again, that man is In the crisis of the text who has a wasted life on the one s u e and an unllluininated eternity on the other. Though a man may all his life have-cultured deliberation and self-poise, if he gets into that position all his self-possession Is gone. There Get up the heights of God's consolation from which you may look down in triumph upon outside persecution and home trouble. While good and grea1 John Wesley was being silenced by tho magistrates, ana having his name written on the board fences of London in doggerel, at that very time his wife was making him as miserable as shr> could—acting as though she were possessed by tho devil, as I suppose•sh^ was; never doing him a kindness unt:1 the clay sbe ran away, so that he wrote in his diary these words: "I did not forsake her; I have not dismissed her; I will not recall her." Planting one foot upon outeicle persecution, and thf other fnot on home trouble, John Wesley climbed up into the heights o* Christian joy, and after preaching forty thousand sermons, and travelin. tv:o hundred and seventy thousand milo*. reached the heights of heaven though in this world he had it hard enough—"a sharp rock on the one side and a sharp rock on the other." Again,that woman stands in the crisis of the text who has bereavement and a struggle for a livelihood at the same time. Without mentioning names, 1 speak from observation. Ah, it is a hard thing for a woman to make an honest living, even when her heart is not troubled, and she has a fair cheek, and the magnetism of an exquisite presence. But now the husband, or the father, is dead. The expenses of the obsequies Lave absorbed all that was left in the fcuvings bank, and. wan and wasted with weeping and watching, she goes forlh—a grave, a hearse, a coffin, behind her--to contend for her existence and the existence of her children. When i see such a battle as that opeD I shudder- at. the ghastliness of tho spectacle. Men sit with embroidered slippers and write heartless essays about women's wages, but that question is made up of tears and blood and there is more blood than tears. Oh give women free access to all the realms where fche can get a livelihood from the telegraph office to the pulpit! Let men's wages be cut down before hers are cut down. Men haVo iron In their souls, and can stand It. Make, the way free to her of the broken heart. May God put into wy hand the cold, bitter cup of privation, and give me nothing but a wlndowless hut for shelter for many yea's, rather than that after I am dead there should go out from my home into the pitiless world a woman's arm'to fight the Gettysburg, the Austerlitz, the Waterloo of life for bread! And yet, how many women existence, all the wrong deeds, all the wrong words—strata above strata, granitic, ponderous, overshadowing. That rock I call Bo/ez. On the other side are all the retributions of the future, the thrones of judgment, the eternal ages, angry with his long defiance. That rock I call Seneh. Between these tv-") rocks ten thousand times ten thousand have perished. O man immortal, man redeemed, man blood-bought, climb up out of tbo^e shadows! Climb up by the way oi' the cross. Have your wasted life forgiven; have your eternal life secured. This hour just take one look to the past, and see what it has been, and take one look to the future, and uce what it threatens to be. You can Tumi io lo^o your health, you can afford to lose your property, you can al~ ford to lose your reputation, but you cannot afford to lose your soul. That bright, gleaming, glorious, precious. eternal possession you must carry alo£t in the day when the earth burns up and the heavens burst. You see frctn my subject that when a man gets into the safety and peace of the gospel he does not demean himself. There is nothing in religion that loads to meanness or unmanlinevs. The grospel of Jesus Christ only a^ks you to climb as Jonathan did—climb toward God, climb toward heaven, climb into the sunshine of God's favor. To become a Christian is not to go meanly dowu; it ia to come gloriously up—up into the communion of saints; vip into the peace that passeth all understanding; up into the companionship of angels. He lives upward; he dita upward. Oh, then, accept .the wholesale invitation which I make this day to all the people!' Come up from between your invahdism and financial embarrassments. Come up from between your bereavements and your destitution. Come up from between a wasted life and an unillumined eternity. Likt Jonathan, climb up with all your might instead of sitting down to wring your hands in the shadow and in.the darkness—" a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side." Women in Science. To assert tha* women have had an important influence on the progress of science would certainly be exaggeration,- but to say that they have always been wholly foreign to it would be still more inexact. The female sex have, in fact, been for many centuries contributing to the, extension of the field of scientific knowledge; and now ihat they are beginning to take,a more prominent part in affairs of this category, it seems a favorable time to review some of their achievements a^itl to notice seme of the women whose scientific accomplishments have been most remarkable. We begin with a Milanese mathematician of the eighteenth century—Maria Agnesi, a woman who was unique among the few who have occupied themselves with the exact sciences. Her precocious intelligence and a prodigious memory, which permitted her to express herself correctly in seven languages, and her rare aptitude for one of the most arduous branches of mathematics—the infinitesimal analysis of which Leibnitz and Newton had only just Indicated the formulas—-the saintliness of her life, divided between study, prayer, and charitable works—all contribute to make her one of the most agreeable characters which fr*\e scientific history of the last century offers us.—Appletons' PopuW Science Monthly far July Nervous People Aro f r©«* suftatrs «nd the/ deserve sympathy mber thin consujp: Their blood is poor a»>d thi* snd th«|r nervat we cons «««wntly^ro»k. 8«^i't*Qpl« find relief and O«TC !• Hood's Barsaparllla because it purifies sad earlche* the blood and gives it poww to feed, strengthen and sustain the nerve*.

W.N.U.-- DETROIT—NO.34--1808 •\s 3 CJK Dap Star or m Orknep's* A Romance—By Hannah B. McKcnzic. CHAPTER IV.—(Continued.) "Duty again? Terrible, word 'duty!' Bettns to me the greatest enemy of ail human joy and ease and love," said Lilith. "la it wicked of me, Dr. Hal- •row? but I almost wish there was no auch thing. We should all be so much happier without." "Not if duty represents to us, as it should do, the will of God," said Magnus, in a low voice. ."But I should not wait, MIBS Stuart; it is a matter of life and death. Let me bid you good-bye." "You wiU go then? Now I know that my influence over you counts for nothing," said Liilth. She looke«l straight into his eyes, and her own were wondrously soft and languid. Elspeth Troil shot one hurried, furtive glance from her work, and she caught that look of Lilith's. She saw, too, how Magnus Halcrow first flushed and then grew pale before that look. There suddenly flashed into Elapeth's mind the remembrance of a scene she had read about, where, In the dim, long-ago woods of Broceliande, a wily lin to his ruin. And Elspeth'a thread suddenly broke, and her hand neemed oddly unsteady for a moment Then Magnus released Lilith's hand. "Yon cannot be In earnest, Miss Stuart," he said gravely. "My honor as a doctor, and my humanl'y as a man, call upon me to go at otfce with help wherever it is required. I must not wait. Good-bye." With two of his long strides he at the door. He had never even noticed that Elspeth Troil was present. Elspeth went on with her sewing, only her face seemed a little paler now than it had been. Magnus was soon speeding on his homeward way. He could not drive Lilith from his mind. A subtle attraction drew him to her, and yet, as soon as he was gone from her presence, something in him revolted against that attraction. He hardly dsred give the feeling words test he should have to own that he distrusted her. He raced onwards, little guessing that the man to whose help he was going was one wljpsefate was strangely i n terwoven-writh that of Lttith Stuart's. There is little prescience in human life, whatever telegraphy and spiritualism may say, and Magnus could not foresee the terrible future. Day met him as he sprang from his machine. . "Oh, Magnus, how quickly yai have come! I am so glad to sec yon. He is conscious, dear; but that is all. 1 think he was struck by lightning or his machine wae, more likely—and is dazed and paralyzed by the shock; but he may be injured, too." "A stranger?" Magnus asked, as he gave his machine Into Jamie's hands. Day gave him a hurried account of all that happened as she preceded him into the sitting-room. "I think he must have been cycling from Scapa to Stromness. He may have friends there, though I am quite sure he does not belong to the island. But here he is." The eyes of the young man were wide open as Magnus approached him. Magnua was struck, -aa~Day had been, by the refinement and patrican cast of tha face before him. "Leave us, pay," he whispered to the girl. "I shall come to you in a little while." It seemed ages to the girl as she waited in the laboratory before her brother reappeared. In reality it was about an hour. Then he came to her side and laid his hand on her shoulder. "Brave little Day! You have saved a fellow-creature's life. I have been able to bring back full consciousness tc a paralyzed brain and body, and in a week or two I have no doubt our friend will be as well as he ever was." "In a week or two?" repeated Day. T h e n there 1B some injury r" "His ankle has been sprained, but that was owing to the fall; no bad results from the lightning-stroke will follow." Magnus bent and kissed his sister's soft cheek. "Day, it you had not brought him to the house and sent instantly for me, I do aot know that he would ever have recovered the shock. My dear little, sister, you are the bravest girl In all the wor.ld." The soft eyes filled very full at the words of praise; but, "low in her heart," Day thanked God. Never in her young lite before had so strange a tie bound her to a fellow-creature, and ber heart th/lll^d an(|' W* *arm at tke thought *f ft. , f r £ f ' "And now I think >6ii might take him lu one of Bell's famous decoctions, and give him a little nourishment," said her brother. "My part is done, and this is yours, Day. He is quite weak yet, and requires something io strengthen him." "I shall have it ready in no time," said the girl. She hurried away to get it ready, while Magnus returned to his patient. When Day came in, bearing her little tray, the dark eyes on the sofa met hera with a look of recognition. The young man stretched out his hand and took hers. "I have no words with which to thank you for the service you have done me, Miss Halcrow—you and your brother." He looked towards Magnus, who was standing by the window. "But for you I might not now bo conscious even that I had had such kindness shown me. I owe you my life. I shall never forget that I do so." "I did nothing," »aid Day, blushing softly and speaking in a low tone— "nothing but what one human being would have done for another. No one would EaTe lift a^Wldw-creSfure T ing outside exposed to such a terrible storm, and not have tried to br'.ng him under shelter. You have nothing to thank me for." . "Is it nothing to thank you for that you have saved my life?" he asked earnestly. His voice was a pleasant one to listen to—soft, mellow and flexible; and the look in his dark eyes made Day's heart beat with such strange emotion as she had never known before. "I do not know If I can ever show you how deeply grateful I am, Miss HalcroT"; but if I live, I pray I may yet be able-to do so." At thib moment Magnus, who had not yet spoken, came forward. "Do not make so much of what my sister has done for you; she would have done that much for any one," he said. And there was a tone in his voice that the other was quick to notice. "And now, as I hope you will accept our hospitality for a day or two—as, indeed, I think you must until your foot is all right—is it too much to ask you your name? You already know AIDED BY MRS. PIKKHAK Was there an almost imperceptible panse ere the young man answered? A momentary embarrassment and hesitation? So at least it seemed to Magnus Halcrow. Then the young man spoke: "You must excuse me, Dr. Halcrow, for not having mentioned it sooner. Let my unfortunate accident be my excuse. My name is Evan Monteith." CHAPTER V. It was a week later, and on a glorious afternoon Evan Monteith had been able for the first time to walk from his room downstairs unaided. "I can no longer make my lameness an excuse for troubling you with my presence," he said laughingly to Day, as she smilingly placed an easy chair for him in the window which commanded a magnificent view of Abbot's Head, the distant crag of Yesnabil, and the wide stretch of Summer-blue sea. "I must not trespass on your kindness much longer, Miss Day." Day's heart sank suddenly—sank very low and very rapidly. "You must not go until my brother gives you permission," she said, in a low tone. "I think he will do so if I ask him," answered Monteith, in so marked a tone that Day looked up quickly. "It is easy to see when one is liked and— and trusted," Evan went on slowly. "For some reason your brother, who is, I think, one of the best and truest men I know, neither likes nor trusts me, Miss Halcrow." "How can you Imagine such a thing?" cried Day, her face growing first rose-red, then very pale. "It is unkind of you to imagine it" "It 1B true, nevertheless," answered Evan Monteith. "I do not know who is to blame, Miss Day, but I can hardly think it is your brother, who is both just and generous. In that case, It must be my fault, and, if it is, it is a fault which I cannot help. Circumstances are against me, and prevent me trying to remove any prejudice there may be against me in his mind." Day sat silent, her sweet eyes clouded and her lips drooping. Somehow she had felt aware of what Monteith now uttered since he had come to Abbot's Head. Magnus was kind and hospitable to him. as he could not help being to any one under his roof; but there was a want of cordiality in his manner wbfch showed that some intangible, invisible barrier existed between him and his guest That barrier wag suspicion. Ho>* little root it needs to grow this fatal plant, deadly as a upas-tree to every feeling of kindliness and friendship! Magnus hardly knew when it had sprung up In his heart; but there it was, and he could not drive it out. "Do not look so sad, Miss Day," said Evan presently, in a low voice. "la it my words that have driven away the sunshine from your face? I am very eorry. Heaven knows I would sacrifice a good deal of my own happiness to keep it there. He bent a little nearer to her; his hand almost touched hers. A thrill, the passion and joy of which were like "ten thousand little shafts of flame," ran through Day. She held her face low for fear he should see the look of love melting in her eyes. Then suddenly a atep sounded outside, the low murmur of voices. Evan sprang erect, and his hand fell from Day's. The door opened and Magnus entered; but he was not alone. Day rose quickly as she caught a glimpse of the figure of 7>ilith Stuart that followed his —the slim, sinuous, graceful figure, arrayed in a smart cycling costume of pale green, trimmed with a darker shade—which made her liker than than ever that wily enchantress Vivien. "Miss Stuart has cycled over to pay you an afternoon call," said Magnus. He looked bright and elated. Day was not one of those who are easily fluttered or put about by an unexpected visit. She was a lady to her finger tips; and she was, moreover, too true a child of nature to wish to appear different from her usual self. She rose and went forward at once. How are yggy-MisgStuart ? must have had a delightful spin; it is such a fine day.* Evan Monteith had also risen, and was standing behind Day's chair. Miss Stuart shook bands with Day, with a murmured, languid answer. She never took much trouble to make herself agreeable to her own sex. But, as sho dropped Day's hand, Day saw an expression of such terrible surprise, fear, and horror spring into her languid blue-black eyes as struck Day hersell dumb with astonishment. Involuntarily she looked round in see what haJ been the cause of that fcudden change which froze the smile on tho*« beautiful lips, and made the wh'^l« face coid and hard, with only a great terror looking out of it. Then Day saw that the direction of Lilith's eyes turned towards '.be face of Evaa-Monteith, as he stooc" behind her, and that he was regarding Lilith with something like the counterpart of her look—one, however, in which a strange embarrassment mingled witt one of astonished recognition. Magnus, who could not see Lilith's facp, stepped forward.— "May I introduce Mr. Monteith to you, Miss Stuart—the gentlemao whom I told you had met with so unfortunate an accident? Mr. Evan Monteith— Miss Stuart." Lilith Stuart had undoubtedly a great command over herself. Whatever her feelings were, she suppressed them cleverly. She stepped forward, holding out her hand, and looked straight into Monteith's face with those dangerous'y beautiful eyes of hers—a look which made Day feel as if a dagger had passed through her very heart. "Mr. Monteith! Is it possible. I hardly expected to see you here." "No, Miss Stuart, I did not flatter myself that you would," Monteith answered. His words were ambiguous; so was his tongue. Magnus looked from one to the ouier In astonishment; then he saw that strange pallor on Lilith's face, and the strained look abou* her eyes, which even her wonderful selfcontrol was not quite able to hide. "You know Mr. Monteith, then, Miss Stuart?" he said. His voice sounded rough and hard even in his own ears. A great anger possessed him. He felt that Evan Monteith had grossly deceived him. "Yes—we knew each other—years ago," said Lilith, with an odd little halt between each clause, as if she were doubtful of what to say. Th^n suddenly she flashed her radiant smile on Magnus. "It is a surprise to you, of course—you did not know that Mr. Monteith knew me; but it is so long since we met that we might almost way we are strangers—might we not, Mr. Monteith? You have been so l o n g - abroad, was it not? And when did you return to this country?" Sne had accepted the chair Magnus gave her by this time, and she and Day were both seated, while the men stood. Monteith turned to answer her question, and that brought the two of them into a dialogue, which seemed to exclude the others. Magnus turned to Day. "Can we have tea?** he said, in a low voice. Day looked up swiftly in his face, and her heart sank with pain -a pain that was more for him than for herself, after the manner of her kind; and yet there was a bitter pals for herself also.

PINKHAM:—It Is with pleasure that I add my testimony to your list, hoping that it may induce others to avail themselves of your valuable medicine. "After the birth of my little girl, three years ago, my health was very poor. I had leucorrhoea badly, and •> terrible bearing-down pain which gradually grew worse, until I could do no work. Also had headache nearly all the time, and dizzy feelings. Menstruations were very profuse, appearing every two weeks. *' I took medicine from a good doctor, but it seemed to do no good. I was becoming alarmed over my condition, when I read your advertisement in a paper. I sent at once for a bottle of LydJa E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and after taking two-thirds of the bottle I felt so much better that I send for two more. After using three bottles I felt as strong and well as any one. " I think it is the best medicine for female weakness ever advertised, and recommend it to every lady I meet «uffering from this trouble." Maternity is a wonderful experience and many women approach it wholly unprepared. Childbirth under right conditions need not terrify women. The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely offered to all expectant mothers, and her advice is beyond question the most valuable to be obtained.

She program, although not entirely carried out owing to the absence of L. E. Hovviett and C. D. Austin, of Howell, was good. The time was fully taken up by the different papers and discussions. H. B. Appleton, Vice president, gave the audience to understand that their presence was appreciated and a hearty welcome was extended. The first paper given, was,' "Primary Work in the Sunday School/' by Mrs. B. Gartrell, which was very interesting. The primary classes were the foundation of the school, and if a foundation is rightly built the building itself would be sure. Years ago Sunday schools consisted of teaching the catechism and whole chapters in the Bible, but now it was different, and one should use all the helps they could to help the pupils. This topic discussed by Miss Bell Hall, emphesising the good points in the paper. She quoted the fact that "all nations realized the importance of how the children were trained tor its future welfare. f Rev. C. S. Jones gave some good advice on "Profitable Methods of Bible Stud/.1' One should study it in reference to personal application, for your own needs and the needs of others. Don't dull the pain of-a sin sick ! soul but try and cure. Do not be afraid to mark your Bible and then you will be able to refer to any passage of scripture you may wish. Gladstone, one of the most honored of men, said, "he found the Bible one of the most profitable of books." G. L. Hull in his discussion said, he realized that tbe Bible should be studied more by all professions in life, but be careful not to study in a way to build ones self up in any pre-conceived faith.

Men who are sick and absent will get their discharge certificates. The mustering out will occur at state rendezvous as a rule. Every man wiJl be examined by a physician before be gets his discharge. The troops vriU be allowed to retain certain property, boch as rifles and other equipment by paying a stipulated price for them.

She rang the hell, and tea soon appeared. While she was attending to tr the others talked; but Magnus, coming to her side, helped her at the teatable. The voices of the other two grew lower. For a moment they hardly rose above a whisper. When tea was handed round the conversation became more general, and turned on Evan's accident. Presently Miss Stuart aske'i: "And how much longer are you to remain at Abbot's Head?" "I have already trespassed too long on the hospitality of Dr. Halerow," said Evan. "I was thinking of leaving tomorrow." He glanced at Magnus, who sat strictly silent. "And you are going to Stromnesa then?" asked Lilith. When Lilith rose presently, botn young men stood up. She glanced up at Magnus. "Wou.d it be too much to ask you to bring my machine round, Dr. Halcjow? And you are going a little bit of my way, are you not?" "I am going to Borenow," Magnus replied briefly. He turned and left the room. Lilith bade Day good-bye witn her usual languid grace; tlieu sha turned to Evan. "Jfou will see me to my machine?" she said, in a low voice. "That. \* all f will aek of you." Evan bowed and followed her. v)n the doorstep they stood for a few ma ment8, conversing in a low tone. Th^y were there when Magnus brought round Lilith's machine. The face of the Doctor looked darker than Evan •tad yet seen it as he glanced a if them. "I am at your service, Miss Stuart," ue said, coldly, removing his cap. "Thank you," said Lilith. She did not offer her hand to Evan, but, saying in a low voice, "Remember!" she Wf.nt forward to take her machine from Magnus' hand, then, putting her foot on the pedal, she was off. Magnus was leaning on his handles, Mg brow drawn in a dark frown. He did not follow Lilith imniediateiv, though she glanced round to see if he was following, but paused for a moment by the step on which Evan was standing. Then he spoke, without lifting his albeit a somewhat low and trembling one. "Mr. Monteith, ;why should I turn against you? You have a right to keep your own secrets if you will. We do not' wish to pry into them. If my friendship can be of any use to you, if it Is of any value, I am ready to bfl your friend now and always." "Of any value?" he cried. "Day, how little you know!" He went down on his knees beside her, and took her hand in his. "Day, I love you with my whole soul? I have only known you a week, and yet I love you. My pure-souled little darling, can you ever care for me? Can you love me, in spite of doubt and suspicion? Day, won't you look up? Won't you let me see those sweet, truthful eyes, and read my answer in them?" He loved her! He loved her! Oh, what earthly happiness could be compared to this? Day's whole past life seemed blank and empty in the light of this glorious sunshine that had now corae into it. She could not speak; but she looked sweet, vhy, melting eyes. He opened liis arms and drew her within them. And Day made no resistance, but buricJ her face on his breast, until he b. Ic her again lift it up, and then laid ov. her young lips the first kiss of love they had ever kuown.

Instead, I find you have deceived us. Over and over again you have allowed us to believe you knew no one in all the island. Was that fair? Was it honorable? I put the question to you yourself, but I ask you no answer." Without another word, and not allowing Evan time even to tnen hi-< lips, he sprang on his machine and was gone. Evan Monteith returned slowly to the drawing-room. His faco was pale and troubled; there was an odd contraction about his lips. Day had risen from her sent by tho little tea table and was at the piano, where she was playing a plaintive air with one hand. Evan knew the air. It was the sad but beautiful one of •'The Flowers of the Forest" She did not hear him come in, and be went up to her and laid his hand lightly on her shoulder. She started and looked up, a half-frightened look leaping into her eyes. "It is only I." said Evan pently. "Well, Miss Day, I have get my march- Ing orders, and I feel as if I were t.fc' meanest hound on earth! I have partaken of your hospitality, and to you botu I owe my life; and I have repaid you by a reticence which aaounis to deceit. The worst ot it is, I cannot Bay anything to extenuate or explain my conduct My mouth is shut. 1 can only trust to your clemency and sweet charity." Day was silent, but he could see her Hpe quivering; and her downcast *yts grow heavy, as if with unshed tear*. He spoke a&aifl, presently, in a lower tone. "I must le:;-.-e you tomorrow. Before1 I go will you not speak one word ol kindness to me', and .say thrt, in spite of appearances, you trust me, and v'l! trust me always?" Dsty could not reply. "Speak, Day!" he pleaded—"only oise urord. Tell me that you still thi-ik of me as a friend—that you will not tvrn against me." Then at ins: r.-y f.-und her voice, CHAPTER VII. One day Magnus had come home from Crag Castle looking strangely pale and dejected. Day was wise enough, like a .tactful maiden as she was, not to ask him anything; but when she had given him his tea, and Magnus was leaning back in his chair, ne suddenly eaifl: "Ycur friend, Mr. Monteith, was at the castle when I was there, Da"." Day started, and warm blood rushed into her cheeks, then receded, leaving them deadly pale. "Wilh—Miss Stuart?*' she asked, after a long pause. "With M^s Stuart," Magnus replied. in a tone o' assumed cheerfulness. He was silent for a little; then, rising, walked to his sister's side and laid *iis hand on her shou'ders. "My dear ttle sister, there is just one word I wish to say J o you, am! then we shall allude to this subject no more. It is about this young fellow, Evan Monteith. We must remojaber that we know absolutely nothing about him. I do not wish to entertain any prejudice against him; but this we can Hay in all fairness—he haa preserved a perfrct, reticence with regard to himself towards us. "It is better, I think, for us both to treat him as this reticence almcs; compels us to do—as a mere chance acquaintance, a stranger, with whom there cm be no question of friendship simply because the necessary basis of friendship does not exist. Now, little jne. chat is ail. Put him out of your maud, if you ever allowed him to have any place there; and be my own sweet, light-hearted little sister once more. Don't let us siieak again of the subj? ct. Now give me a kiss, Day, and let mo n*c you smile and look as bright as you oscd to c!o." Day he.'d up her mouth to his, but a rush of mingled tenderness and pity swept over Magnus as he felt the pitiful trembling of her lips. She made a brave effort to smile, and succeeded not badly. "That is like my joyous Day," said Magnus, emiiing. His own gkom had disappeared in his effort to render her cheerful. "Now another cup of tea. little one, I am going over to Kirkwall tomorrow, Day—or, rather, to Scapa. Capt. Ferguson's boy is ill. and he wishes me to see him. I shall have to take a conveyance. What do you suy to coming:, too? It woud be a nice little trip, and you could call for the manse folk at Kirkwall on the way back." Day's heart was sick within her, but she made another brave attempt to look delighted, though the projected trip held out no attraction* for her uow. A fortnight ago she would have leaped ftt it with childish delight. "It would be nice, Magnus," she said. wondering if Magnus guessed how hard it was K> make her voice sound cheerful. "Yes, of course, I shall 50. It isn't likely I would miss such a chance." So they chatted gaily oy«r the projected expedition, though the heart ot each was heavy: but love made each try to hide that from the other. News Uics fas: c.cr the length *nd breath of toe Orkneys, and Day found that MooteiUi'a accldont had been petailed in Kirkwall with sundry additions to i t "And we beard such a queer story yesterday, my dear," said Mrs. Nicholson, the parish minister's wife, who was a known lover of gossip. "It was that this young fellow—what lfl bis name again?—Is up at Crag Castle at all hours. Robertson, the coachman from the Gow hotel—where he is staylng, you know—told the minister yesterday that Miss Stuart herself cycled half-way to Stromness to meet him, and they went on together to the castle. I always said she was a strange creature, my dear, lady of the manor as she is—a very strange creature!" Day got away at last, heart-sick and miserable. Could it be true? Could Evan Monteith, after all, have been merely amusing himself with her, while all the time his heart wag perhaps pledged to Lilith Stuart? Oh, it was not possible! There could not be such heartless cruelty hidden behind those earnest, dark eyes, which had looked with such deep sincerity into hers! There must be some explanation! She would trust h!m still. But the slow poison of doubt was in her veins, and no reason could check Its evil effects. That evening, as she walked slowly from Stromness, it seemed to Day ^s if all ths fair earth and sky had grown dark and clouded for her. She turned a sharp corner, which led over a steep "brae" to the road for Crag Castle. As she did so she started, a sharp physical pain shot through her heart. For there, standing very close together on the road, evidently in deep and earnest conversation, wore the two people she was thinking THE YELLOW METAL. BRllfO FOUR TONS OF « O U > FROM THE KLONDIKE.

They did not see her—their backs were towards her; but even as she looked Day saw Miss Stuart suddenly lay her hand on Monteith's arm, and lift her face to his with an expression which Day could not ae€, but which she could guess. She hurried on, feeling as if she could not get beyond reach, beyond sight of them, fast enough. "It is all at an *TU\," she said to herself. "He could r.o* have loved me. He was only playing with me. Oh, it is hard! Why dfd he ever come? My life was so peaceful and happy before. I was quite content with the love I had— Magnus' and Bell's, and even Ola's, and that of the poor people whom I loved in return. And now it is ill ended! Things can never be the same again—never! never!" A quick step rang on the dry I»-K* - mer road behind her. Day heara J*., and knew whose it was; and the blr^~l rushed from her face to her heart.

The reason for tho observanca of such secrecy iie* iu a desire to evade the payment ot the 10 per cent, royalty exacted by the Canadian government. Not in evary cage have the miners paid royalty on th« full amount taken out of their claim*, and many of them have smuggled out larger sums than they will admit. It is said that the shipment of gold on the Roanoke would have been much heavier had those in the interior not felt some apprehension of an attack at sea by privateers. The North American Trading and Transportation c ..iiijauy will, it ia stated, ship most of their gold on lafer boats. Some of the wealthiest miners will come out later in the season. of eagerness in his voice. "It such a time since I saw you last, an I yet it is only a week. Do you where I have been all that time?" Day's' white lips framed .the "No." but it was almost too low fnr him to hear it; yet her heart ba<: bounded. He had been away^gojnffwnere. then! At least he had not betel: near her all that long week, and v'ot never troubled to come to see her! "I have been to London and Dac< again. A good long distance from th's land of nightless summer, is it not?" he said, almost gaily. "Business to>- me there, and business has brougli-' vnc back again; but I think, even if <" had had no business, I should have come." Then the thoupbt darted into Day's mind that he had gone to see Lilith Stuart before he had even thought of her; and again bitter, miserable jealousy, which will find a lodging in the gentlest and most tender heart, crepl over her. "Have you missed me at all, Day?' Monteith asked, after a long pause during which he waited in vain foi Day to speak. He asked the question almost in a whisper. Day's heart melted, then she hardened it again. How she loved him! So much that even as he spoke, her heari was at his feet. But for the sake ct her own woman's pride she must cru«ft that feeling down, and not allow Li?- ith Stuart's lover to think he coutf flirt with her for a summer day> V»g Amb>tl<*nc*> The ambulance built especially for dots and small animals, and the only one ot its kind in the world, has just been put in use !n the veterfnary department of the University cf Pennsylvania.

"WHERE WE CAiVE PttOM" 8 U N - DAY'8 SUBJECT tender p&rL locomotive The tongue of liberty usually belongs to a married woman. Text,' I. Timothy 8i«0: "O Timothy, Keep Thai WhlcU la Committed to Thy Tru»t, Avoiding Opposition! or Beleao* P»la«ly 8u Called." People who ait upon forma are apt to stand upon ceremonies. Widows and widowers in all conditions of life want re-pairing. Lore may not be a disease, but It is frequently of a rash nature. When some men bury the hatchet after quarreling they go right put and dig up an ax. The ballplayer who hits the most '"balls" a. night always hits the fewest la next day's game. The liquid voice of a woman would probably be appreciated more if she •would occasionally turn off the flow. The right to vote may go to the people of Hawaii along with annexation; but it must be remembered that we have a good deal of ignorant voting here. Some Boston families buried tfceir silverware in anticipation of a Spanish invasion; and one Boston citizen became frantic because he couldn't find any to bury. "He knew everybody, and he knew something good about everybody," 1s the tribute a contemporary pays to a New York journalist. It reminds as that men who uteadfastly cultivated one of these accomplishments have died and left few mourners. But it was the wrong one. "What is. the feeling of the race toward the United States government? One hears them say little of loyalty or of patriotism, though that is 'no sign,' as the children say. Among the troops generally, however, there is now more respect for the 'coon soldier* than there was at Tampa and Key West, and in the new great army which we are preparing for permanent service, especially if we have to put a standing force in Cuba, negro recruits can be made of immense value." Senator Hoar declared, in a recent address before Clark University Summer School, that "You can find no surer test of the spirit that animates the youth of a country in giving up its hie iu a great war than In the battlehymns of nations. The inspiration ot France has been found, and is still fcund, in the stirring strains of ttit 'Marseillaise.' 'Sons of France, awake to glory.' But an American woman has struck for the American youth a loftier strain in the 'Battle-Hymn of the Republic:' " 'In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea; As he died to make men holy, so we die to make them fi-<se.' " "The war with Spain is doing with the 1-cent piece what retail traders and the pofetal department failed to do," according to the San Francisco Chronicle, "The nieas'ure which congress framed, far raising revenues with which to carry on the war makes it necessary for every one engaged in business to handle the copper cent The telegraph cannot be used without affixing a 1-cent revenue stamp on the written message, and no check can pass over the counter of a bank ano be honored without similar treatment This war measure has thus forced en the Pacific coast without opposition a toin whkh it would have taken yearof coaxing to persuade It to accept bj any ordinary process." Ever since th* discovery of gold in Calif arnia the CTJU has been in disgrace. The ancient city of Winchester, England, is this year celebrating its one thousandth anniversary as a municipal corporation, its first mayor halving been one Beornwulf, in 898. It was it wi)l be remembered, the capital of England in the reign of Alfied, the one thousandth anniversary of whose death is soon to be commemorated. Yinehcster is identified with the Cameiot of the Athurian legends. Curiously enough, this very time has been chosen for a serious attack upon the history of Alfred. Our chief knowledge concerning him is derived from a Latin manuscript attributed to Aaaer. But careful investigators now declare that manuscript to be a mere compilation of more or less apocryphal tales, made some centuries after Alfred's time, and there is thus actual danger that the great king may become as doubtful and shadowy a personage as Arthur himself. Nevertheless, the word will probably continue to ding to the tale of the burnt cakes —and rightly, for it is edifying and la- •piling, whether authentic or not. There ig no contest between genuine science and revelation. The same God who by the hand of the prophet wrote on parchment, by the hand of the storm wrote on the rock. The best telescopes and microscopes and electric batteries and philosophical apparatus belong to Christian universities. Who gave us magnetic telegraphy? Professor Morse, a Christian. Who swung the lightnings under the sea, cabling the continents together? Cyras W. Field, the Christian. Who discovered the anesthetical properties of chloroform, doing more for the relief of human pain than any man that ever lived, driving back nine-tenths of the horrors of surgery? James Y. Simpson, of Edinburgh, as eminent for piety as for science; on week days in the university lecturing on profoundest scientific subjects, and on Sabbaths preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the masses of Edinburgh. I saw the universities of that city draped in mourning for his death, and I heard his eulogy pronounced by the destitute populations of the Cowgate. Science and revelation are the bass and soprano of the same tune. The whole world will yet acknowledge the complete harmony. But between what my text describes as science falsely socalled, and revelation, there is an uncompromising war, and one or the othef~ must g At the present time the air is filled with social and platform and pulpit talk about evolution, and it is high time that the people who have not time to make investigation for themselves understand that evolution in the first place, is up and down, out-and-out infidelity; in the second place it is contrary to the fa ts of science, and In the third place, that it is brutalizing In Its tendencies. I do not argue that this is a genuine book, I do not say that the Bible is worthy of any kind of credence—those are subjects for other Sabbaths—but I want you to understand that Thomas Paine and Hume and Voltafre no more thoroughly disbelieved the Holy Scriptures than do all the leading scientists who believe in evolution. And when I say scientists, of course, I do not mean literary men or theologians who in essay or in sermon, and without giving their life to scientific investigation look at the subject on this side or that. By scientists I mean those who have a specialty in that direction and who through zoological garden and aquarium and—astronomical—observatory, give their life to the study of the physical earth its plants and its animals, and the regions beyond so far as optical instruments have explored them. I put upon the witness stand living and dead the leading evolutionists- Ernst Heckel, John Stuart Mill, Huxley, Tyndall, Darwin, Spencer. On the witness stand, ye men of science, living and dead, answer these questions: Do you believe the Holy Scriptures? No. And so they say alt. Do you believe the Bible story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? No. And so they say all. Do you believe the miracles of the Old and New Testament? No. And so they aay all. Do you believe that Jesus Christ died to save the nations? No. And so they say all. Do you believe in the regenerating power of the Holy Ghost? No. Aud so they say all. Do you believe that human supplication directed heavenward ever makes any difference? No. And so they say all. Herbert Spencer, in the only address he made in this country, In hi3 very first sentence ascribes his physical ailments to fate, and the authorized report of that address begins the word fate with a big "P." Professor Heckel, in the very first page of his two great volumes sneers at the Bible as socalledrevelation. Tyndall in hts famous prajer test, defied* the whole of Christendom to show that human supplication made any difference in the result of things. John Stuart Mill wrote elaborately against Christianity, and to show that his rejection of it was complete, ordered this epitaph for his tombstone: "Most unhappy." Huxley said that at the first reading of Darwin's book he was convinced of the fact that teleology had received its death blow, at the hand of Mr. Darwin. All the leading scientists who believe in evolution, without one exception the world over, are infidel. I say nothing against infidelity, mind you. I onlr wish to define the belief and the meaning of the rejection. Agassiz says: "The manner in which the evolution theory in zoology 1*8 treated would lead those who are not special zoologists to suppose that observations have been made by whicn it can be Inferred that there is in nature such a thing as change among organized beings acfjtilv taking place. There is no sues thing on record. It is shifting the ground of observation from one field of observation to another to male* this statement, and when the assertions go so tax as to exclude from the domain of science those who will not be dragged into this mire of mere assertion then it is time to protest." With equal vehemence against the doctrine of evolution Hugh Miller, Far. raday, Brewster, Dana, Dawson and hundreds of scientists in this country and other countries have made protest. I know that the few men who have adopted the theory make more noise than the thousands who have rejected It The Bothnia of the Cunard tine took five hundred passengers safely from New York to Liverpool. Not one of the five hundred made any excitement. But after we had been tour days out, one morning we found on deck a man's hat and coat and vest and boots, implying that some one had jumped overboard. Forthwith we all began to talk about that one man. There was more talk about that one man overboard than all the five hundred passengers that rode on in safety. ''Why did he jump overboard?" "I wonder when he jumped overboard?" "I wonder if when he jumped overboard he would liked to have Jumped back again?" "I wonder if a fish caught him, or whether he went clear down to the bottom of the sea?" And for three or four days afterward we talked about that poor man. Here Is the glorious and magnificent theory that God by his omnipotent power made man, and by his omnipotent power made the brute creation, and by his omnipotent power made all worlds, and five hundred scientists have taken passage on board that magnificent theory, but ten or fifteen have jumped overboard. They make more talk than all the five hundred that did not jump. I am politely asked to jump with them. Thank you, gentlemen;! vm^vevr much ob44ged-to-ye». I think I shall stick to the old Cunarder. If you want to jump overboard, jump, and test for yourselves whether your hand was really a fish's fin, and whether you were web-footed originally, and whether your lungs are a swim bladder. And as in every experiment there must be a division ot labor, some who experiment and some who observe, you make the experiment and I will observe! There Is one tenet of evolution which it la demanded we adopt, that which Darwin calls "Natural Selection," and that which Wallace calls the "Survival of the Fittest." By this they mean that the human race and the brute creation are all the time improving because the weak die and the strong live. Those who do not die survive because they are the fittest. They say the breed of sheep and cattle and dogs and men is all the time Improving, naturally improving. No need of God, or any Bible, or any religion, but just natural progress. You see the race etarted with "spontaneous generation," and th p n '• F<npR .right on until Darwin can take us up with his "natural selection," and Wallace with his "survival of the fittest," and so we go right on$ up forever. Beautiful! But do the fittest survive? Garfield dead in September—Guiteau surviving until the following June. "Survival of the fittest?" Ah! no. The martyrs, religious and political, dying for their principles, their bloody persecutors living on to old age. "Survival of the fittest?" Five hundred thousand brave northern men marching out to meet five hundred thousand brave southern men, and die on the battlefield for a principle. Hundreds of thousands of them went down into the grave trenches. We stayed at home in comfortable quarters. Did they die because they were not as fit to live as we who survived? Ah! no; rot the "survival of the fittest." Ellsworth and Nathaniel Lyon falling on the northern eide. Albert Sidney Johnston and Stonewall Jackson falling on the southern side. Did they fall because they were not as fit to live as the soldiers and the generals who came back in safety? No. Bitten with the frosts of the second death be the tongue that dares utter it! It is not the "survival of the fittest." How hae it been in the famines of the world? How was it with.the child physically the strongest, intellectually the brightest, in disposition the kindest? Did that child die because it was not as fit to live as those of your family that survived? Not "the survival of the fittest." In all communities some of the noblest, grandest men dying in youth, or in mid life, while some of the meanest and most contemptible live on to old age. Not "tbe survival of the fittest." • But to show you that this doctrine is antagonistic to the Bible and to common senE* I have only to prove to you that there has been no natural progress. Vast improvement from another source, but mind you, no natural progress. Where is the fine horse in any of our parks whose picture of eye and mane and nostril and neck and haunches is worthy of being compared to Job's picture of a horEe as he thousands of years ago heard it paw and neirh and champ its bit for the battle? Pigeons of today pot so wise as the carrier pigeons of $00. years ago—pigeons that carried the mails from army to army and from city to city; one of them flung into the sky at Rome or Venice landing without ship or ralltrain In London. that walked the earth in olden times— animals compared with which In size our elephant is a cat—monsters of olden times that swam the deep, compared with which our whale is a minnow. Conies have learned nothing about hunting, and th* a»trich nothing about climbing and the hounds nothing about hatching, and the condor nothing about flying, and the owl nothing about musical cadences for six thousand years. Not a particle of progress. And as to the human race, so far as mere natural progress is concerned, once there were men ten feet high; now the average is about five feet six inches. It started with men living 200, 400, 800, 900 years, and now thirty years is more than the average of human life. Mighty progress we have made, haven't we? I went into the cathedral at York, England, and the best artists in England had Just been painting a window In that cathedral, and right beside it was a window painted 400 years ago, and there is not a man on earth but would say thfafc the modem painting of the window by the best artists of England is not worthy of being compared with the painting of 400 years ago right beside It. Vast improvement, as I shall show you in a minute or two, but no natural evolution. I am not a pessimist hut an optimist. I do not believe everything Is going to destruction; I believe everything is going on to redemption. But it will not be through the infidel doctrine of evolution, but through our glorious Christianity which has effected all the good that has ever been wrought and which is yet to reconstruct all the nations. What Is that in the offing? A ship pone on the rocks at Cape Hatteras. Tire ftqflc is brrefrfntr-itpy crew and= passengers are drowning. The storm is in full blast and the barometer Is still sinking. What does that ship want? Development. Develop her broken masts. Develop her broken rudder. Develop her drowning crew. Develop her freezing passengers. Develop the whole ship? That is all It wants. Development. Oh, I make u mistake. What that ship wants la a lifeboat from the Ehore. Leap into it, you men of the life station. Pull away to the wreck. Steady there? Bring the women and children first to the shore. Now the stout men. Wrap them up in flannels, and between their chattering teeth you can pour restoration. Well, my friends, our world is on the rocks. God launched it well enough, but through mtapilotage and the storms of six thousand years it has e;one into the breakers. What does this old Fhip of a world want? Development? There Is enough old evolution in the hulk to evolve another mast and another rudder and to evolve all the passengers and eolve the ship out of the hrpaUpra Development ?- Ah! no, my friends, what this old shipwreck of a world wants Is a lifeboat from the shore. And it Is coming. Cheer, my lads, cheer. It Is coming from the shining shore of heaven, taking the crests of ten waves with one sweep of the shining paddles. Christ Is In the lifeboat. Many wounds on hands and feet and side and brow, showing he has been long engaged in the work of rescue, but yet mighty to *ave—to save one, to save all, to save forever. My Lord and my God, get us tato the lifeboat! Away with your rotten, deceptive, infidel and blasphemous evolution, and give us the Bible, salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord. "Salvation! let the echo fly The spacious earth around, While all the armies of the sky Conspire to raise the sound." A Cuban Milkman "How many cows there are about the streets!" somebody exclaims, and Lhen he is calmly inform Td that the morning's milk is simply being delivered. A bunch of cattle and their driver stop before a house, and the portero comes out with a cup for the morning's supply. It is seen then that the cow* are being milked from door to door by the dairymen, for this is the way the acute Cuban housewives have taken to assure for their tables a lacteal supply which is entirely fresh and absolutely pure. Otherwise the guile-loving vender might dilute the milk before delivering it to his cua- (cmerfl, and craftily stir into the watery fluid the juice of the sweet potato to color it up to a duly rich and creamy cast. Even with the cows milked before the door one must continue to watch the milkman, for I have even heard of their having a rubber bag of water concealed undef their loose frocks and connected wftlh af rubber tube running down the inside of the sleeve, its tip being concealed in the hollow of the milkiug-hand. Only a gentle pressure upon the bag of water within is needed to thuf, cause both milk and water to flow into the cup at the same time. The milk-venders of Italy and India have also learned their trade to perfection, for they practice this identical trick.—Ed war* Page Gcston.

The ha/d^ro*e8 and low prices or sheep and cattle of a few years since proved potent factors in the securing of a united effort • towards improving herds and floeiks. says the Rocky Mountain Husbandman. When it was hard to make ends meet tn these pursuits owners sought to make their stock profitable by breeding the best in order that they might get top prices, top prices having always been remunerative. When wool was lowest it was sought to make up for the loss in price by the Increase in pounds, < and- the same has been the case in the production of beef and mutton. During thepast ten years there has been a marked improvement along this line, and as theyeara advance herds and flock* will steadily decrease In alse and improve in quality. We are aware that the idea is prevalent among many people that If one attempts to do anything'with cattle he must have two or three hundred head, but this is a mistake. A. nice prciit can be made from forty head Ql! cattle, or even leas. The farmer, for Instance, with a dozen milk cows, who can fatten five or 6ix beef steers every winter, will find that it will pay, anu the time is coming when, instead of a man standing aloof from sheep because he cannot own two or three or a dozen flocks and land in princely possession, but owners of single flocks of not more than 2,000 head will multiply rapidly. There are hundreds of places where this number of sheep may be summered on the high mountains, and dozens of small ranchmen produce enough feed on 360 acres of land to winter such a rock. It is trutf'in the days of small herda and flpeks. whirh must come sooner or later, It will be different from the small ownerB of ten years ago. Then air sought to keep their 1 ngrpflggr^AJU ,J)ggome 1 arced»tD= ers. The man with a few milk cows husbanded his herd until it became lar?e, and the small owner of sheep EO manipulated things as to keep h's increase and soon own a number jf flocks instead of one, but in the new era men will follow the industry of raising cattle and sheep nnd will dispose of their increase every year. They will, In fact, be so situated that they will not have the facilities for caring fr>r increased numbers, and will therefore be content with Just what they can care for. But even then the pursuit will pay and *helr bank account* will grow even more rapidly in proporion than when all their profit went into their increase. Just now, of course, there is a strong tendency towards large flocks and herds, but this will be of short duration, and In the new ordar of things, of small flocks and herds, w« may look for better breeding and far better results, since stock handled in a small way have better attention than ran be given when one has vast possessions to see after and more profit will, accrue to the country. A Merino-Tertian Crou.

S A HANDFUL OP DIRT MAY BE A HOUSEFVlL OF SHAME." CLEAN HOUSE WITH P O L i Military Inquiry on Coaduet off the War. Washington: The administration has decided to institute a military inquiry into the conduct of the war with Spain. It is the belief that a properly conducted military inquiry will reveal the men who are responsible for the alleged Santiago blunders and the mistakes of the quartermaster's depart-' ment, and would determine if any important orders had not been obeyed. The supporters of an Investigation further say that the board of inquiry would make a report which would be of great value in resulting in new mil* itary legislation. A military inquiry by a court whose members commanded respect by their rank, experience and character, would clear up the exact limits of failure. When these were known it could be made clear how much of the failure was due to lack of preparation, how much to the inevitable conditions of war, how much to a defective organization of the staff, how much to the inefficiency of regular officers, how much to the ignorance of volunteer officers and how much to civilian appointments. These things need to be known through a methodical and searching inquiry conducted by experts. Hostilities are over. Congress is over three months distant; the public attention is aroused. There is grave danger of personal injustice due to mere clamor. If an adequate military commission investigates the whole field of operations—enlistment, organization, camp abuses and all the work of quartermaster, commissary, ordnance and medical staff departments — by December congress and public opinion will be informed, enlightened and educated,axLdJrmfcfttLJfigUlationwill MRS.

If nothing is done we shall have a congressional investigation, a swarm of grievances, slanders and scandals, personal and partisan reports and nothing accomplished. Spain, France and Rasflfa Combine. Madrid newspapers state that a treaty of alliance has been signed between Spain, France and Russia with the object of counteracting the Anglo- German influence. The idea of a permanent rapprochement between France and Spain is certainly in the air and may in time assume considerable practical importance. It had its origin in France's role in the peace negotiations, and report of friction with England over Spain in the neighborhood of Gibraltar. Many patriotic Spaniards who apprehend further sacrifices during the forthcoming peace negotiations, regard the suggestion of a French alliance with much favor, especially as French help would be very useful also in the great work of financial and economic reorganization which Spain eluded. Miss Helen M. Gould has given $25,- 000 to purchase food and delicacies for the ill and wounded soldiers in Camp Wikoff. President McKinley and President Faure, of France, exchanged courtesies at the opening of the new cable between Cape Cod, Mass., and Brest, France. The secretary of war has sent a telegram to Gen. Shafter at Santiago approving his request to be allowed to bring home the cannon captured from the Spanish army at and near Santiago. The auxiliary cruiser St. Paul wUl be returned to th« International Navigation Co. by th*» government as soon as she is put in the same condition as when the great liner was chartered for naval service. Krig.-Gen. Joaquin Castillo, who accompanied Gen. Shafter to Cuba as a representative of the Cuban army and the Cuban civil government, has just returned to New York. When asked as to the friction existing between Americans and Cubans at Santiago he said that the latter had been grossly exaggerated and that so far as Cubans are concerned they have the utmost faith in the American government and are confident that the pledges made in, their behalf will be carried out.

I suffered with backache, headache, bearing-dowa pains, pains in my lower limbs, and ached all through my body. Menstruation* were very painful. I was almost a skeleton. I followed your advice and now am well and fleshy, and abla to do all my own housework." I took medicine from a physiciau'for over a year, and it did cot do me a particle of good. I would advise all Buffering women to writo to Mrs. Pinkham. She will answer all letters promptly, and tell them how to cure those aches and pa n.-> so common to women.—y^s. C. L. WIN"N, Marques, Texas. I think it is my duty to write and let you know what your medicine has done for me. Fortwo years, 1 suffered with female weakness, bearing-down pains, headache, backache, and too frequent occurrence of the menses. I was always complaining. My husband urged me to try your Vegetable Compound, and I finally did. I have taken three bottles and it has made me feel like a differeiifwoman. I advise every woman that suffers to take your medicine and be cured.—Mrs. GABBBTT LICHTY, 612 S. Prince St., Lancaster, Pa. I had suffered for over two years with backache, headache, dizziness, nervousness, falling and ulceration of the womb, leucorrhoea, and about every ill a woman could have. I had tried doctors, but with no success, and it seemed as though death was the only relief forme. After using five bottles of LydiaE. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and four packages of Sanative Wash, I am -well. Have had no m c e pain, woiib trouble, backache or headache.—Mrs. CLAUDIA EIALPIN, Cream Ridge, N. J. Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg-etablo Compound I was afflicted with female complaints so that I could hardly walk. My back aciiud terribly, in fact, I ached all over. Was not able 'to raise myself up some of the time. I had no appetite and was so nervous that I could hardly sleep. I have taken but two bottles of your Compound and feel like another person, can now eat and sleep to perfection, in fact, am perfectly welL—Mrs. SUB McCuxxocon, Lydla B.

CONCISE AND INTERESTING . of the 31d Michigan CalUd to Tim* by GOT. Pin*r««—Michigan Boy* IJroaa ttantUfo Will 8oon be Home— CommtMloner'it Report. Trouble la the 39d Michigan. There is very evidently something ^rong in the 33d Michigan regiment oovv at Feruandina, Fla. There have toeen repeated reports from the men that they desired to be mustered out of epiV-ee, now that peace is assured. The officers, however, declare that the regiment is practically unanimous in Che wish to remain in Uncle Sam's employ. It Is now alleged that some of the officers of the regiment have denied the men the right of petition to be discharged from the service. When t)x\& came to the ears of Gov. Pingree he at once- sent a warm telegram to Gol. W. T. McGurrin, in command, which Bet forth very forcibly his ideas Qn the matter. He said in the telegram that privates "more than anyone else," should have the right to express their desirps either to remain in the service Or return home. lie told the colonel that the constitution of the United States gave them the right of petition and that even congress could not it. In conclusion^ he said: "1 trust no further complaints of this -nature may be necessary. Now. that the purpose of the enlistment of the volunteer army has been accomplished, no man can be called cowardly who, having due regard to the demands of his business and family upon him, peaceably and respectfully asks to be permitted to return to his home. I request that this be read to the whole Regiment immedi tely, and that the fullest opportunity be given, without let or hindrance, to every member of your regiment, whether private or Officer, to express his desires by pe- CUton," The governor says he has seen letters yrritten by privates in the regiment to their people in Michigan, in which they charge that non-commissioned officers had been threatened with reduction to the ranks, and privates bad been threatened with eourtmartia), if they persisted in signing petitions asking for the discharge of the regiment. S3d and 34th Michigan Comlajr Home. —Whea-iheJaerofls. of the 33d and 34th Michigan regiments debarked a,t Camp VYikof,f Montauk Point, L. I., after enduring the hardships of the campaign at Santiago and suffering on the trip north, they were given an ovation. Secretary Alger, Col. Geo. A. Loud, Geo. Keating and a number of other Michigan people formed a reception Committee to welcome them. The boys were pale and weak. They were greeted personally by Gen. Alger, who Cold them they would be permitted to go home in a few days on a 60-days' furlough with pay, after which they Wjpudl be mustered out of service. Afteryeach man had made awaj- with a b'g cup of milk and a sandwich they were marched to the detention camp where large tents with floors were all in readiness. This camp is an ideal place, a strong, invigorating breeze is constantly blowing, the ground is high and dry, water splendid and plentiful and the food issued very good. The boys at once began to show signs of improvement in physical condition. Committees from various parts of Michigan went to New York and bought fresh eggs, fruit, etc., and other sup- (dies without stint for the boys. Washington: Orders have been issued fur the 33d and 34th Michigan to depart for Island Lake camp in Michigan as soon as their time in the detention camp at Montauk Point is up Every man will be supplied with a new suit of clothes and his old ones will be destroyed. Orders have also beeu issued for the recruits for these regiment*, nearly 1,000 men in all, ,Y^u> hare been in Camp Alger all sumtner, to go back to Island Lake at once if Gov. Pingree has arrangements to oare for them until they can be furtoughed. These men, who have lately been moved to Middletown, Pa., have .teen organized into a provisional regiment by Gen. Davis, and are among - Che best drilled that officer has ia his To Master Oat Mlefclgaa Ti . Maj Bandholte, 35th Michigan, at Islaad Lake, received hi* appointment t>jr the war department as commissary and tnustering-out officer for the 334 end 54tb Michigan volunteer infantry. The men are to be mustered out on arrival, their discharge from service to datedOd-uya from that time. This will permit th*soldiers to go to their homes y i th salary and rations allowance for itrport . The report of Slat* Laud C-oimuis< aioner French refers at length to tax titles and homestead laws. He says thut the. legislature should, and undoubtedly will, protect homesteaders whose homes were endangered by the supreme court's decision in the case of the Connecticut Mutuul Life Insurance Co, vs. Eugene B. Wood, which materially affec ed the state's title to some of the tax homes lead lauds and caused widespread uneasiness among tUcjse who had in good faith entered upon the lands and were faithfully carrying out their part of the contract with the state. " Legislation should promptly be enacted making it possible for the state to guarantee evtjry homesteader upon these lands thut at the end of live years' residence a deed will be given and the home secured to those who so richly deserve it. There is no other honorable course for the state to pursue." During the past year there has been licoused to settlers til, 107 acres of tax homestead lands. Last year there reverted to the stute 3,lJ57 acres of these tax homestead lands. In reference to the suirar beet industry in Michigan, which originated when the legislature enacted a bounty law, which operut»» through the land office, the report says that for the tirst time beet susrur will be manuftu' t red in Michigan this year. A factory eostng upward of 8300,000 has been constructed near lJay City aud will take care of this year's crop of 3,500 acres of beets. Michigan has sufficient beet .sugar land to accommodate a dozun factories and they will be built if needed. The Hay City factory will this year manufacture more tlnnf 8,000,00 0 pounds of sugar and will pay to the gro'vers, the farmers, about 8150.000. The Michigan beets are far ahead of those of other states and every indication is that the beet sugar industry will soon be a big factor in Michigan. In reference to forestry the commissioner says that'Michigan should be foremost of all states in the union in encouraging forestry, yet we find that little, if any, attention is being given to the preservation or restoration of our forests, which have been a leading factor in producing the wealth of the state. There are many parcels of state lands not suitable for agriculture that could be converted into forests. During- the past year there was sold by the hind department 22.371.2 1 acres; 3.634 acres of swamp land licensed; 61,107 acres of tax homestead lntid licensed, and there is still held for sale and homestead entry 0(J5,147 acres. The land sold will bring into the state 8115,310 ; 827,.r>13.75 of which remains unpaid. The total receiptsof the oftice were 9141.1S5.SH . L. Died From Lack of Food And Medicines. Col. Petermann. commanding the 34th Michiganywrites Gov. l^ntfree an interesting letter relating the deeds of his boys before Santiago and recites their sufferings from hunger and lack of proper medical care. He says: "The conditions under which the campaign was carried on were awful. During the first few weeks the men were only half fed. My regiment fared particularly hard, owing to the fact that in our forced march our baggage had to be left behind, and what little the men had was lost or thrown away. We slept on the bare ground, without shelter tents or any protection from the weather. The want of proper food and protection has undoubtedl'j been the cause of so much sickness. There seems to have been something wrong in the management of affairs. The medicial department seems to have been unable to cope with the conditions; in fact, it seemed to be the poorest ©"quipped department on the ground. Medicines could not be gotten for love - nor money. In spite of the fact that our regimental surgeons were doing all that could be done, rav men died for the want of proper medicine and food." Corwiu, nged 10, of Ousted, who fought at Santiago with the Second U.

London: Authoritative confirmation has been received of the dispatch from Pekin asserting that the relations between the thuug-li-yumen (Chinese foreign office) and Sir Claude Mac Donald, the British minister to China, are strained to the point of rupture, and that Sir Claude has intimated that Great Britain will regard as a casus belli any failure on the part of China to observe her wishes. They say that the situation between Great Britain and China is acute, Sir Claude Mac- Donald strenuously insisting that China shall observe her engagements to the British syndicates and demanding satisfactory explanations with regard to the Pekin-llankow railway. If necessary, the British squadron, now assembled at Wei* 11 ai-Wei, will sup* port the British minister's demands.

Prominent French Army Officer Make* Startling ConfeMloa and Suicides. Lieut.-Col. Henry, of the Freuch army, upon being closely questioned by the war department, was forced to confess that .evidence which he had presented in the famous trial of Capt. Dreyfus and M. Zola was forged by himself. After _heh^g arrested Col, Henry committed suicide in his prison cell by cutting his throat. Capt. Dreyfus was convicted of belling French army secrets to the German government and was sentenced to life imprisonment in a big cage on Devil's island off the coast of French Guiana. Capt. Dreyfus' friends fought so hard that when M. Cavaignac, the present minister for war, assumed office he charged the official bureau to make a thorough research of the Dreyfus case, and it was this inquiry which resulted in the discovery that the document lately read in the chamber of deputies by M. Cavaignac, showing that proof of the guilt of Dreyfus, was forged. When Col. Henry was summoned to the ministry for war and questioned by M. Cavaignac, in the presence of Gen. Boisdeffre and others, be first affirmed the authenticity of the incriminating document. But when discrepancies were pointed out, he at first admitted adding sentences and finally confessed to fabricating the whole letter, "owing to the absolute necessity for finding proofs against Dreyfus." M. Zola, the famous author, was recently convicted, after a most stormy trial, of libeling prominent military officers when he published statements in behalf of Dreyfus and charging1 Ma j. Count Esterhazy and others of convicting Dreyfus in order to shield themselves. The cabinet ministers now admit that a revision of the Dreyfus and Zola cases are absolutely unavoidable. Col. Henry's confession threatens to rekindle the Dreyfus agitation more heatedly than ever, and it seems likely to shake public confidence in the army. Even the Liberte, a strong anti-Dreyfus organ, says: "It must cause the deepest pain to all honorable men that officers of such standing show such a lack of moral sense." Gen. Le Mouton de Boisdeffre, chief of the general staff of the French army, has tendered his resignation to the gov-, eminent, owing to his misplaced confidence in Lieut.-CoL Henrr. which led him to present as genuine what was forged evidence. The disclosures have also resulted in Count Esterhazy being retired from Mm army on » small pension. Rear Admiral Win field 8. Schley was given a splendid ovation on his arrival at Washington.

The town since their occupation has been wonderfully free from disturbance. Maj.- Gen. Greene has been ordered to return to Washington and sailed with Maj.- Gen. Merrit^. The condition of the Spanish soldiers being sent home~froro Santiago and surrounding towns is distressing and it is probable that death will claim nearly half of them before they reach Spain. Their condition is the result of hard living and the prevailing fevers. The German press is protesting most vigorously against the American fortification of Pago-Pago harbor, Samoa, and demands the partition of the group of islands between Germany, the United States and Great Britain. Of course Germany should have the choicest territory. Spanish soldiers hare committed foul outrages on Porto Ricans within their lines. At Cailes 90 defenceless men and women were butchered and many young girls outraged. In revenge the Porto Ricans burned a large amount of Spanish property about Yauco and Juan Diaz.

Lawton at Santiago that yellow fever, malaria and dysentery threatened to wipe out the Spanish and Cuban population there and in surrounding towns unless checked. Gen. Lawtoo sent 100,000 rations and other supplies t o relieve the distress as much as possible. Secretary Alger refuses to reply to— the alleged interviews with Gen. Miles which have been published throughout the country and which are in the nature of an attack on the secretary. The latter says he does tout believe Gen. Miles would so far forget himself as to criticise his superiors in that manner and he will await Geo. Mites' return and will then ask an explanation.^ Senor Sagasta, the Spanish premier, says the government will repress the discussion of war topics in the cortes. The government will aubmit a bill authorising peace negotiations, and a measure for the suspension of the constitutional guarantees. Diplomatic negotiations are no«r being- carried on, and a debate on war and peace might be provocative of undesirable complications. Peace is not signed; Spain isstill at war with the U. S. The two nations have merely suspended hostilities to negotiate a peaoq. These negotiations may be unsuccessful, in which case hostilities will be recommenced. •** \;. * * * « * * ! w: Che Dap Star Orkncp's. A Romance—By Hannah B. AVcKenzie. CHAPTER YII.— (Continued.) "Strangers?" repeated Evan Monteith. His tone was one of mingled astonishment and reproach. He stood still In the middle of tne road' and faced her; but Day did not raise her eyeB to his face. She felt she could not. "Strangers, Day?" he repeated, In a low voke that thrilled with some deep feel.ng. "After all that has been between us, do you still otfuntus strangers? Is this your love or your promised trust?" Day's face was'pale as death. She put her hand to her throat before she answered. Then she spoke at last, very Blowly, as if she were trying to weigh her words well. "Mr. Monteith, we know almo3t nothing of each other. Our acquaintanceship, even now, only extends 10 three weeks. We Orcadians do not leap into friendship so suddenly as-the Southrons. It takes years to make our friendship strong and true. You know little of us; we kaow nothing at all of you. Though it so happened that accident brought you to our door, you must not feel under any obligation 10 us. We only did what common huyre< fttfred==pf==gBr= Then let t:3 not speak of trust and friendship. If— if we thought of it before, it was because we were foolishly impulsive." He had been silent for a few moments when Day ceased speaking. Now his voice sounded hard and almost hoaxbe. "A man does not.need to look for much faith among his fellowcreatures. After all, why should I have asked it from you? And yet I thought you meant what you said that day. But why recall the past?" he added, as Day involuntarily made a movement with her hand. "I am only hurting you." "No; do not recall It Let us rather forget it,' said Day, in a hurried tone. "Forgive me!" Monteith exclaimed the next moment. "I am a brute to speak like that to you, who, whatever you may think of me, have been an angel of mercy and kindness to me. I cannot clear myself in your eyes nov; but when 1 can—when I am free to tell all, as please God some day I shall— I shall come to you amd ask you-—well, for your friendship then. Now my mouth is sealed, and any one who trusts me must 'trust me in. all in all, or not at all." Well, shall we any goodby?" "It is better, perhaps," Day said, a little pantingly. "Then good-by. Will you shake hands?" He stretched out his. Day put here into it with a strange little shrinking motion; but he released it instantly. "Good-bye, Miss Malcrow. And will you lemember this—that whatever you may think of me, I hold you now, and ever shall hold you. as the sweetest and truest and kindest woman that ever 1 have known. Good-by, and may fate give you the happiness you deserve!" He has gone, aad Day, white and trembling, with doubt and remorse and love fighting within her, stood alone on the road. CHAPTER VIII.

Lilith Stuart had a strange affection for these animals. Could it be, as "Aurora Leigh" says the work of woman is. symbolical? EUpeth Troll looked up quickly from her seam, taking*in at one swift glance the attitude of the graceful, sinuous figure in its pale-green evening-gown, trimmed heavily with creamy lace, until it looked like that of a Thetis springing from the sea-foam. There were times when, even to Elspeth, who had known her tor six years, Lilith was a mystery.'- i "I shall do so if you desire it. Miss Stuart," she replied, in her grave, quiet tone. There was nothing in common between thAje two young women, and silence followed Elspeth's reply. She went on quietly with her work, while Lilith played with her Persian, alternately stroking it and pulling its ears. Presently steps sounded on the softly- oarpeted eorridor ovtslde, and the door waa thrown ope*, the tootsnan announcing with ceremony, "Mr. Evan Monteith." Lilith did not rise, but lay back In fear chair, her fact turned toward* the door, her dark-blue eyes with that deep, mysterious smile in them which had brought BO many heart* to her feet, her hand half extended—tue action of a queen expecting homage. Monteith came forward 8 ad bowed low; but he did not ttz^ the halfproffered hand, and Lilith allowed it to toll by her side. "Look at my lovely pussy! Is she not a queen among Persians?" she aald, laying her own beautiful mouth on the top of the animal's head. "And, do you know, I actually believe she loves me? Is it not strange?" There was hardly coquetry in the question; it was almost murmured over the Persian's head, and might have be&n intended for her as much as for Monteith. Monteith took no notice of it. He turned to shake hands with Elspeth, then, coming back to Lillth's side, took a seat beside her. "You have sent for me, and. In obedience to your request, I am here," he said, in a lowered tone. Elspeth rose and made a motion as if to leave the room. "Oh, don't go, please, Miss Troil" "T wTsH~ypu~ To" pTay~W us. Something low and soft and sweet, like this divine evening. And we shall sit and dream while you are playing. Ask her, Mr. Monteith." "I shall play If you wish me, Miss Stuart." said Elspeth again. She came back, and going to the piano, opened it, and running her fingers over the Iceys, began one of Mendelssohn's "Songs Without Words." Lilith lay back in her chair, an expression of delight on her changef.ul face. "Ah! don't distress me!" she said, when Monteith made a movement as if he were about, to speak. "Do you know what I feel like? A dream—yes; and It is of the past—the past that comes never again!" Shek sighed a little, and her long dark lashes swept her cheek, lying like a shadow upon them. Monteith looked at her for a moment. Perhaps no other man in the world could have looked at her without a thrill of admiration. She looked divinely fair and divinely ^•weet at that moment; but Montelth's face was strangely cold and stern. Elspeth played on and on. She was only a paid employe, and, however know what these uie worth, and 1 measure my strength, not against them, but against yourself. And hevii »g said this, I have said all. You understand me now?" She was still looking at him, but the expression in her eyes had slowly changed as he was speaking. There was something in them now not pleasant to see—something cruel, gleaming, almost wolfish. She put her hand to the lace at her white neck, and her little pink nails dug into it fiercely. "Then it is to be war?" she whispered, almost hissing the words in a sibilant undertone. "If you like to put it so—yes, Miss Stuart," said the young man, very gravely. She leant over the balustrade again, her face growing curiously pale and set. Then suddenly Bhe sprang erect, turning to him, laid her hand on his arm. "Evan, remember all the past! Oh, 1B that nothing to you?" "Nothing," he answered, in the same cold tone. "The past only causes me shame to remember. I am glad to forget it. Now I have told you the truth —the whole truth. I came to Orkney thinking that In some way I could spare you or compromise matters; but It is Impossible. Right is right eternally; nothing can ever change i t It must be war between us, becanse no compromise will do—no compromise would be right. Therefore let me eay good-by and leave you. When we meet again it will be before all the world as foes. "As foes?" shr whispered. Her voice sounded strangr 3y low In her throat; It was as if something choked her. She suddenly stood erect and the long Bea-green gown fell in looee folds abcut her-dinuGua figure. "This ifr-your-flnal decision?" "It is my final decision," said Evan Monteith. "I shall go now, Mias Stuart, and the day after tomorrow I leave for London. • Shall we say good-by now?" "Good-by," said Lilith Stuart. She held out her beautiful white hand—a hand that Evan Monteith had kissed in the past—to him. Her eyes, which, even in the dark, shone like a cat's, were curiously luminous. "Good-by, Evan." "I shall not touch your hand." eald Monteith gravely. "It would be hypocrisy to do so. Good-by once more, Miss Stuart." He bowed, turned and left her. A stair led down from the balcony to the gardens. He went down by it, and soon vanished from sight. When he had gone Lilith turned and stretched out her beautiful arms, with their foamy yellow lace, towards the direction in which he had gone. "The day after tomorrow," she said. And a little, low laugh came rippling from her red lips. "Oh, fool! fool! The day after tomorrow!" TOLD BY T H - SERGEANT. Frvm the Democraty Grand RapUt$tMieh.

This is an old adage and one that has been demonstrated as truthful many fines. The fact that the excursion business In Colorado seeks to u«e | one particular line is a straw that indicates where the excursionists fiod the best scenery, lowest rates and best train service.

And Monteith, In spite of himself, began tofeer strangely softened. His mind wandered to the old-fashioned garden at Abbot's Head, and to the dainty fipure that used to flit among the rose-bu8hes there. He had almost forgotten the one beside him, and started as a soft hand fell on his. "Let us go out." whispered Lilith's voice almost in his ear. "to the terrace. The evening is so entrancing that it soems a shame to remain indoors. And do yon hear the birds singing in the garden? I do even above the music. You will come?" Monteith rose without a word;. As they passed the piano Lilith tapped Elspeth lightly on the shoukler. "Thank you. It is beautiful," ,she said; "But we have demanded toe i much of you. We are going out on the terrace." Elspeth looked after them as Lilith's sea-green robe vanished outside the window. •'Dare I warn him?" ehe said to .herself. "And yet I think he knows her. He does not trust her; but there Is no one in the world I distrust more." Lilith had gone to the edge of the balcony and leant upon the balusters. From that point the view was one which can only be seen in northern lands. Although it was long past sunset, the sunset glory still lingered in the wep'ern sky in colors so gorgeous and vivid that no painter's brush would dare reproduce them. Monteith had followed Lilith and leant his arm on the balustrade. She looked up- a* him, her eyes gleaming strangely. "You nave something to say to me.

"There is nothing etee for it. 1 am forced into this unfortunate position!" said Evan Monteith to himself, as he cycled back to Stromness along the cliff-path, which was, however, safe enough, for it was strongly protected by a wooden barricade. Even now it was hardly daxk and Yonteith had not lit his lamp. "I wish the work had been committed to any other but to me," he mused as he spun onwards. "But I must atone for the post. Much of it has been my fault, and 00 me, therefore, lies the responsibility of undoing any evil I have done. Yes, I shall go to London and lay the facts before the lawyers; then commit all into their hands. But am I to go without seeing Day?" His face changed as the name was uttered, a little hesitatingly even to himself. The sternness and resolution 'aded out, and a softened expression crept over it. "Will she forgive me when she knows all?" he thought. "Ah. surely she will? And yet, could I be satisfled with her forgiveness alone? Is there not more that I crave for, puresouled darlfng! Surely her parents were far-sighted when they gave her her name, for she is like the day indeed —bringing joy and sunshine and love whenever she goes. Surely, if a bad woman ia the worst creature on earth, a good one ...is....God ^s best gift to man?" Monteith had a room at the Gow Hotel; but he did not sleep much that night. When he did, his sleep was haunted by strange, awfu! breams, in which he felt himself being hurled over some frightful precipice; and when he looVed up to the platform of rock from which he had fallen, he saw the mocking face of Lilith Stuart gazing down at him. and beard her scornful laughter float above him on the air. The dream haunted him strangely, even after he had risen and breakfasted. He told himself it was only the natural result of yesterday's disagreeable duty; but somehow he could not shake off the uncomfortable impression it had left. (To be Continued.)

The great game preserves and the rivers stocked witb finest specimens of tbe finny tribe, the vigorous mountain air, tbe gathering of pleasant people at first class hotels, and the proximity to home and business if required, have proved stronger attractions than the sea coast and the Northern lake regions.

From the San Francisco Call: A steamship, finished complete, from keel to sm.okestack, in aix weeks. Surely that is crowding things a little, but the Alaska boom has made such work neceaaary. That is the reason it is being done these days. Never in th« history of shipbuilding in California has there been such activity in the business. Every shipyard about the bay is working overtime, and in some Instances day and night, so great is the demand for vessels to send to the arctic. Of course, there. Is a great deal of repairing and overhauling being dune, but new vessels are being completed every few days. Over at Oakland shipyard one day last week there were five new ships on the wayB at the same time. It is safe to say that this has never happened before in this part of the world. At the big foundries, where iron ships are built, work is pushed as fast as possible, but iron ships do not get together &B rapidly as wooden ones, so that it Is tedious work watching their growth. Wooden vesels come Into existence almost as if by magic and are nearly ready for sea as soon as they are launched. It is t« this class thai the greater number of Klondike vessels belong. One steamer, the Virago, that sailed for .M.if-ka.a few days ago, was not In ex'uteu^e at all on the fur: uf last F. uriuiry. In fact, her !.-p<M wi>« not. laid and it is barely possible the plans for her were not drawn. But things went along smoothly from the start.

Before this vessel had her trial trip she was booking passengers and loading freight. Scores of men were at work on her rushing things along. Thii steamer "had her trial trip on Monday, the 14th ult., and two days later she sailed for the north loaded down witli freight and gold-seekers. But she acted like a charmed being and sailed through the Golden Gate as dignifiedly as a man-of-war that had been five years in course of construction Instead of five weeks. Old salts said she was as good a vessel of her class as was ever built, notwithstanding the short time spent in putting her together. To see one of these Alaska vessels come int« being is like watching the work of a magician. The person who orders OM j vessel or what her name is to be is of | no importance to the shipbuilder. He simply gets word to build a vessel according to certain drawings and specifications and puts it down in his book ; as a certain number. If the vessel is ordered to be pushed through in a ' hurry he starts work immediately, and within a few hours men are building the ways on which the vessel Fis to be ronstrnpted.

This Is the London version of the story of Mr. Vanderbilt's parting with" his celebrated Paris chef. Joseph. One day the millionaire sent for Joseph and told him frankly that he was growing rather tired of his highfalutin, "artistic" French dishes. "The fact is," said the millionaire, "I'm darned hungry, niul 1 want a square, old -fashioned meal. Go and cook me." he added, "some nice boiled beef and cabbage." "Moiifieur." replied Joseph, in his suavest manner. "1 think you have sent for me by mistake. Shalt I ring for the gardener?"

Too many aim at righteousness with a telescopic sight. People always notice the spots oa the raiment of pride. The hell of the fashionable church awakens many Bluggards. Men are not necessarily big guns because they happen to be big bores. Before marriage a man swears to lovej after marriage he loves to swear. Eternal life is the only thing worth striving for in which there is no competition. A wrong is not right because it Is gray-headed, nor clean because it has been baptized. A spinster says if it Is true that man proposes and God disposes, aorae men fall to do their share. The truth Is condemned more than Is the false. People will condemn that about which they know the least. - It rinasn 't a 1 wa ys-make-a. man happy when a girl returns his love—especially when it's returned because she has no use for it. Only the love of truth can make a dispute profitable. The man who entera into an argument solely to get the better of his opponent is In no condition either to profit or to be profited. He is neither a teacher nor a pupil, but an artilleryman bombarding his neighbor's castle just to see him run up the white flag. No man is fit to enter into a debate who would not rather get at the truth than win a victory. • Some very good men are addicted to profanity, but there Isn't one of them who is not ashamed of every oath he uttgrs. The utterance is involuntary, without preface, uncontemplated, spontaneous, sudden, and in most cases the result of extreme vexation. When it is ov»r the decent man chides himself and declares he will never do it again; but he adds, with a suppressed chuckle, "Nothing else under heaven would hare untied that knot or buttoned that button." That our people have no special hatred of our recent enemies in Spain Is abundantly shown by the enthusiastic welcome which Admiral Cervera has met with whenever he has been in any place that gave the public a chance to come in contact with him. It is doubtful, however, whether the extraordinary manifestations of friendship and admiration which Admiral Cerera has received from the hands and mouths of the American people are likely to add materially to his prestige in hi6 own country. Great Britain is not a military nation, yet her army cost, in 1897, £18,- 270,000, and her navy £22,170,000. a total for both arms of the service of $202,200,000. The expenditure of France in the same year for these two purposes was $175,000,000, and of Germany $157,000,000. Their armies are much greater than that of Great Britain, but their navies are smaller than hers. Probably four-fif:hs of these enormous aggregates might be saved, were it not for the necessity to protect colonies, to guatd frontiers, and to be prepared for the numberless dangers to which international ambitions, jealousies and complications may give rise. It is a great price to pay for being classed among the "great powers." POSTMASTER IN CUBA. FIRST AMERICAN POSTOFFICE AT SANTIAGO. Presided Oyer by Major il«mw B. Stimrt, Late Inspector or the Chicago DlvUlon—8tory of tits Life—Peraoaal Characteristic* Concerning the supposed friction between Germany and the United States, Mr. Andrew White, the American ambassador to that country; Bays: "The relations between the German and American governments have been and still are excellent. As a simple matter of fact, no person acquainted with the matter will deny that the German government has treated oura with fairness, or claim that It has been wanting in courtesy to our government or to its representative In Berlin. There Is no exception to this statement As to the German people at large, I am satisfied that the substantial, thinking part ot them are now on the whole friendly to America. I am receiving letters every day which Indicate this. Of course there has been on the part of t considerable number a natural sympathy with Spain as a weaker power fighting a stronger one; quite likely, too, a considerable portion of landed proprietors, and of leading manufactur ers have had prejudices against the United States, caused by what the* bare considered Interference with thtti jrosperlty." HE new postmaster at Santiago. Maj. James E. Stuart, i» a Scotchman by birth—in all else, it might be remarked, he is an intense American. He has the dominant tralu* of the Scot; he Is discreet, persevering and honest, qualities which are demanded of any man who aspires to fill the place of an Inspector in the postoffice department. He came to this country in 1851, when he waa 10 years old, and as soon as he could comprehend the meaning of legal terms he began to study law. He was a student when the war of the rebellion broke out. but he dropped his books for the musket and went to the front as a sergeant In the Twenty-first Wisconsin volunteers. The battle of Stone river made him a second lieutenant, Chlckamauga added a bar to his shoulder straps, and Atlanta made him a captain. General Harrison C. Hobart then made bim one of his staff, and be remained a staff officer until the close of the war. Major Stuart entered the railway postal service In 1866, when that branch of the postofflce department wasin Its Infancy! He~~gaTnel promotion rapidly, and in 1871 was chief clerk In the railway mall service for Iowa. He could have been superintendent of the service, but declined the place because 1t would necessitate bl« removal to another part of the country. The work of the inspector's department attracted him. and he was i crashed the government thanked Stuart and indorsed everything he had done. It is one of Major Stuart's proud boasts—he rarely boasts, however— that he never went after a tbief and failed to get him. Althdugh Inspector iu charge, be takes immense satisfaction at times la handling a difficult case personally, and some of his experiences have been of a thrilling sort. The postal division In charge of Major Stuart embraces within Its limits Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Mtehlgan. While not The largest in area, one-sixth of all the money-order offices *»re located in thl3 division, and about that per cent of tho general postoffice business is transacted within the division. TO UTILIZE MARSH GRASS. Company Formed to Manufacture from It T*lue, Kup« and Matting. The tendency so characteristic of the present age to put to practical use what has heretofore been considered largely waste or useless material has found fresh exemplification in a new enterprise, at the head of which is ex- Senator Warner Miller of New York. Throughout Wlsconsin.southern Michigan aud Minnesota are thousands of acres of marsh land upon which grows tall, rank, coarse grass, which is practically without any commercial value. Some of the finer varieties are utilized as hay, although without any propounced edible or nourishing qualities, and occasionally some of the coarser varieties are used as bedding for stock, but as a ru'e only an exceedingly small portion of the million of tons which grow every year finds any use whatever. All this, by the aid of Ingenious machinery, can be readily con- "uRefuT~artTc1es of commerce, such as binding twine, rope, cotton bagging, matting, and a substitute for carpef paper, and promises to develop into an industry in which thousands of people win find employment. Tho enterprise Is called a new one, although it has been In successful operation for over a year, but It Is only recently that plans MAJ. JAMES E. STUART. appointed thereto upon application. This was the beginning oi Major Stuart's real career. He soon demonstrated to the government that he was especially qualified for the peculiar detective work required of. an inspector, and the department soon showed IU appreciation by intrusting Rome'of Its biggest and most important cases to his handling. He invariably succeeded in what he went about. His splendid work in ferreting out the famous star route frauds in the west secured bis appointment as inspector In charge of the northwest division in 1876, and this enlarged Major Stuart's opportunities for fine achievements. Through his efforts and by his suggestions the postoffice department succeeded In driving the Louisiana lottery out of the United States, Major Stuart advising changes in the law which would enable prosecution of lottery companies at the poir' where their maU wai delivered. His most famous achievement was his successful puosecutkra of the principals in the noted "Fund W" and the Guarantee Invest* oaent Company, two fraudulent concerns which robbed thousands of per^ sons by the ttft* of the mails. In the "Fund W" case Major Stuart exceeded his authority in his seal to capture the promoters. He held the mall of the concern, and as it piled up, the conspirators were frantic to secure it. Tneir business was being mined. Stuart "efused to yield. They offered him. $20,000 If he would simply Keep his bands off property he had no right to hold, but Stuart smiled blandly and told them to save the money for their defense. After the toiffiilty had been \ have been perfected for pushing it on an extensive scale. Within the last few weeks **e large plant of the Northwestern Cordage company of St. Paul has been purchased by the new company, and is being put in shape for handling the product, while contracts have already been made for 15,000 or 20.000 tons of marsh grass for use during the coming season. The grass, wjycta will be mostly used, is what is known as "wire" grass, which has a tough, hard, round stem, and In absolutely without any value as a food product. This can be made into a bindns twine, which Is said to be fully equal to that made from Manila hemp, and at a cost of at least onethird less than the latter. Certain kinds of rope will also be made from this grass, especial attention to be given to that kind which is used for the purpose of tying up hides. It Is the purpose to use coarser varieties of grass in manufacture of roughly woven cotton bapjrinpw of which an immense amount is used in the south. It will make, it Is cla med, strong, durable and cheap bagging. The finer grass will be woven into matting, which Is Raid to make an excellent substitute for Japanese matting. It takes dyes readily, and makes a floor covering as durable as It is attractive. Another use to which it is claimed it can be put to excellent advantage is that of a lining for carpets, and a decided superiority Is claimed for it over the paper lining sow used for that purpose. Old people ran not act cute, and they should not try it. THE CZAR DESIRES PEACE. luuea a Note Proposing; th« Reduction of Powerful ArtuuueuU of Europe. St. Petersburg: Hy order of Emperor Nicholas, Count Muravieff, the foreign minister, hauiied to the foreign diplomats at St. Petersburg" a note declaring that the raaintcuuuee of peace and the redxiction of the excessive armaments now crushing1 all nations are the ideals for which all governments, ought to strive. The czar considers tho present moment favorable for the Inauguration of a movement looking to this end and invites the powers to take part in an international conference a» a means of thus insuring real and lasting peace and terminating tho progressive increase of armament. London: The czar's proposition for an international conference for the purpose of securing real and lasting peace uuiontf the powers und the termination of the progressive increase in armaments, and conveyed in a- note from Count Muravieff, the Russian foreign minister to the foreign diplomats at St. Petersburg, is likely to produce a sensation throughout Europe, and coming from such a quarter and with such evident sincerity of purpose, it ih likely to have important effects. There is no doubt thut with Hussiu taking the lead in such a step, (lermany, France and the other nations will be ready to follow. Paris: The French newspapers generally distrust the practicability of the czar's peace scheme, and clearly indicate that France would make tho restoration of Alstue-Lorraine a pre-requisite to her participation in the conference. Washington: The extraordinary circular note directed by the Russian foreign minister to the members of the attracted the earnest attention of the officials here. It is believed that the victory achieved by the U. S. in the late war was a strong factor in the preparation of the note. The official mind looks upon the Russian project for a g-eneral disarmament as Utopian at this time, and the impression prevails that our government would not care to take any active part in its deliberations.

"I've seen tem," said Mrs. Peter Peppercourt, whose husband kept the village dry goods store. "No!" Mid Mrs. Doxy, who lived on a pension and affected extreme gendl- Ity. "Is It a large family?' "Only two," said Mrs. Peppercourt, "but such a heap of baggage! Piano, guitar case, easel, nineteen trunks and four valises! And a carload of furniture! Bedsteads, all French walnut and gliding, with canopy tops, and crimson satin Bofas, and—oh! I couldn't begin to tell you what else, if I talked from now until doomsday!" "Dear, dear!" said Mrs. Doxy, "and only two of 'em, you say?" "Only two," said Mrs. Peppercourt, "an old gentleman and his young wife." And when Miss Jemima Judkins eam« up to tea in the afternoon she brought more news. "Their name la Egerton," said she, "Mr. and Mrs. Roland Egerton! Isn't It a deliclously romantic name?" "How do you know?' cried Mrs. Doxy and Mrs. Peppercourt in chorus. "I saw it painted in big white letters on the end of the sewing machine box," said Miss Judkins. "And I saw her at tbe porter's lodge this afternoon giving some orders. She is as fair as a poet's dream. It is but too common a tale—youth and beauty bartered for gold. I wouldn't sell myself to an old a king's ransom!" "Humph!" uttered Mrs. Peppercourt. who had no particular sympathy with he age of romance. "Perhaps you nlrtt—if you had the chance! Never mind about that just now," as she saw ihe crimson stain of wrath mounting 'o Miss Jemima Judkins' sallow cheek, •but about these people. Seem pretty stylish, eh?" "Beyond all question," said Miss Jemima, loftily. "I'll call next week," said Mrs. Doxy. She did, but to her regret nobody was at home, and the visit was not returned. "Rtuck-up creatures!" said Mrs. Doxy. Miss Judkins about this time repived an invitation from her cousin. he wiiow of Archer, to spend a few days with her at her cottage at Long Branch. Mrs. Archer's paid companon had left her on a visit to some sick relative or other, and Mrs. Archer felt he need of some one to snub, scold. and have handy in general. "I'll go." said Miss Judkins. "Seena Archer Is very trvinq at times. but Serena is rich and I need a change Oh. y«s; 111 go." At the end of a fortnight she came home again and was promptly invited by Mrs. Peppercourt to tea. "Well/' said Miss Judkins, "what news?" "Not much," paid Mrs. Doxy. "Hugh Eberthas failed." "I've been expecting It ever since his wife pot that new Nile green silk," said Jemima, rolling up her eyes. "Parson Grinder's got a call to Wes* Brieriy." "All the better for us," said Miss Jemima, maliciously. "And Mrs. Ronald Egerton has left that poor old husband of hers all alone, devotion of their manner what was goiug on?' "Of course," added Mrs. Doxy, "there will be a divorce suit, and then, Jemima, my chanoe or yours will l e as good as any one's for the affection of the dear, misguided old pent!" Miss Jemima Judkins hesitated and doubted, but was talked over at last, and, accompanied by Mrs. Doxy, started for the manor house. Mr. Egerton, who sat reading tn his library, looked up in some surprise at this Incursion. Mrs. Doxv introduced Miss Jem'ma Judkins;" Miss Jemima then performed her part of tbe ceremony by introducing "Mrs. Daniel Doxy." Mr. Egerton bowed low. "Ladles," said he. In all courtesy, "to what do I owe the pleasure of this call?" "It's your wife, sir," burat out Mils Judkins. "My wife?' repeated the old gentleman. "Yea, your wife! At Long Branch! Flirting and carrying OK with a young man within an inch of her life! While you—ah, my heart bleeds to th'nk you should be the victim of such wifely treachery!" Mr. Egerton looked bewildereJ, then amused. He pulled a little red velvet case containing a photograph from his vest pocket. "Is this the gentleman?" asked he, opening the case with a sprng. "The very one!" cried Miss Jemima, tragically clasping her bands. "Oh? I hope—I do hope he is not one whom you have unwittingly fostered in your bosom, reverend sir!" "Well. I believe I have done something of the kind," raid Mr. Egerton, my son, Roland Eeferton, Jr. The lady whom you are pleaded to call my wife Is bis! I am a widower of 25 years' standing!" "They—they're not married!" croaked Miss Jemima. "Certainly they are." said Mr. Egerton. "Ladies, I wl«h you a very good morning. And after this you wlll.perbaps. learn to mind your own business!" And so the two gossips retrpn'erl In great discomfiture. But as to taking Mr. Egerton's advice—it isn't likely that they d'd — Bnffa'o C*n8«<« of Hay Pcrer. "The season is approaching," said a prominent physician to a Star writer, "when a great many people who suffer from what is known as hay fever, and as but few who are susceptible to the complaint know how to avoid, mucn less cure it, a few remarks about the nature and treatment of the ailment may not be uninteresting. Hay fever is a nervous affection usually, most prevalent during the spring and early Riimmpr, frnm "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!" while she's gone off to Long Branch, gallivanting like any young girl. Didn't happen to see her, did you?" Miss Jemima drew a significant sigh. "£h!M echoed Mra. Doxy, setting down her teacup. "Yes, I did me her." said Miss Jemima. "And I wish—I do sincerely with, tor the honor of humanity and the peace of yonder poor, old, deluded gentleman up there at the manor house —that 1 hadn't" "Now. you don't tell us!" says Mrs. Peppercourt. **I did see her.' solemnly went on Mlsa Jedkins, driving out with a young gentleman—bathing in. the surf with the n m e young gentleman—waltzing at night with the same young gentleman1— whispering love to ' the same young gentleman in a summer house on the beach." "How do you know?" cried Mrs. Doxy. "Were you near enough to hear?" "No," said Miss Jemima. "I didn't hear! But I could easily tell from the and more especially those living in populous towns rarely if ever suffer. It is known only to the educated,whose nervous systems are highly developed, and thougn not in any sense dangerous, it is at all times very Irritating and troublesome. The smell of hay, grass, the pollen of flowers, the odor of fruit, dust or draught will generate the complaint 07 excite an attack, in persons subject to it; but rain or damp weather invariably brings relief. At one time it was generally supposed that the odor of hay when being mown or carted could alone induce the affection, which is closely analogous to asthma, but recent observation shows that its prevalence is entirely independent of the existence of hay fields, and Is really a nervous derangement. A visit to the seaside, a trip to sea, or residence iv a populous town, will,however, remove the asthmatic tendency, but one of the best remedies is tobacco smoke, retained in the mouth as long as possible. The inhalation of the steam of ten drops of creosote in a pint of hot water is also good, or 20 drops of spirit of camphor to the same quantity of water makes a very effective inhalation. But the affection being a nervous one, tonics and nourishing diets are more essential than any of these palliatives, which merely afford temporary relief."—Washington Star. Wlnalows Parrot la Battle. "He was in his iron cage hanging right over the front of the tower there," the tar went on, in answer to several questions. "He didn't seem to mind things much, either.

My troubles were painful menstruation and leucorrhoea. X was nervous and had spells of being confused. Before using your remedies I never had any faith in patent medicines.

'Doings of the Week Recorded in a ! Brief Style, !CONCISE AND INTERESTING. TI*e,83d uud 34th Michigan Regiments Reaoh ^iomt From Santiago and are Royally Welcomed — 9800,000 Lou bj Flr« at OW<MMO. Michigan'! Santiago Heroea Reach Home. The trip of the 33d and 34th Michigan regiments from New York to Detroit on their way home from Santiago was a hot, dusty, tiresome journey of 30 (to 40 hours which was trying on the strongest, to say nothing of the suffering it entailed upon the sick boys. .During the entire trip the soldiers were shown every possible kindness at the 'stations where stops were made. Professional nurses met the trains at several stations and brought with them milk, fruit and other delicacies, which they distributed as freely as the boys would receive. At Toledo a large delegation of prominent Detroit and Michigan citizens, headed by Gov. Pingree, met the first section of the train qnd carried put well-laid plans whereby every soldier was appointed to some hotel and every sick hero was listed for a particular hospital, so that when the trains arrived at Detroit the boys were either placed in carriages or marched Jba their destinations. The Cadillac alone accommodated over 400, and other hotels took them in the same proportion and treated them magnificently. Citizens donated their carriages for use of troops and they were transported to hotels in short order. A large citizens1 committee appointed to assist in the reception saw that every man was cared for. Ambulances took all ill with fever direct to best hospitals, 133 sick in all, and about that many more who should have crone, but who bore up with great fortitude. ,. Never did Detroit turn out larger and more enthusiastic crowds than thronged the streets for an entire night to welcome the brave boys home again and never did heroes receive a more royal welcome. The train carrying the troops was divided into five sections. The first arrived at 12:15 a. m. after the crowds had waited patiently for over five hours from the time the train was first expected. The first section carried the first division 33d regiment under Col. Boynton: Co. A, Flint, 31 men; B, Alpena, 31; E, Saginaw, 54; __Ex_Cheboygan, 56; G, Owosso, 45; I, Benton Harbor, 58;~?3d regiment-band of 12 men; and 8 regimental officers. In the second division, in charge of Maj. Burton, arrived at 5:25 a. m. with •Cos. C, Bay City, 65 men; D, Saginaw, 4>0; L, Sons of Veterans, 36; M, Detroit, 60; K, Three Rivers, 40; F, Port Huron, ty); 16 officers, all of the Thirty-third. .The third train load, in charge of Lieut.-Col. Bennett, was made up of the following 34th regiment companies: A, Big Rapids, 57 men; C, Muskegon, 644 E, Iron Mountain, 44; H, Ironwood, 21; K, Mt. Clemens, 37; L, "Marquette, 20; M, Traverse City, 48, besides--about 30 men of the 33d. The fourth carried five companies of the 34th in command of Col. Petermann: Co. B, Manistee, ,76 men; D, Calumet, 00; F, Hough ton, 62; G, Sault Ste. Ste. Marie; L, Upper Peninsula, 55, and I, Ionia, The fifth and last section arrived eight hours after the first. It comprised a long train of baggage and cattle cars with 60 men detailed to look after the horses. There were no sick ones among the men, but they looked tired with their long dreary ride. They were given as cordial a reception as the first arrivals. While their welcome at Detroit was all that could be asked, and many times more than the boys expected, still all were anxious vto get to their own homes and as soon as they had had sleep and refreshment special trains were, made up on the various Mdlroads at Detroit to carry the boys to their families and friends. Co. B, 33d, of Alpena, did not stop in Detroit at all, but took the D. & C. steamer for home at once. Every city and town in the state which boasted the honor of having a soldier boy in the 33d or 34th gave them a grand reception when they arrived home, thousands of people turning out to greet them and giving every evidence of great joy at seeing their friends and loved ones safe again. Through all this joy there was an air of sadness and tears for there were heroes of the regiments who did not come. Some are taking- last rest in Cuban soil; others had already been brought home and laid away by loving hands; scores more were on beds of paiu and fever in various hospitals', arid those who could march at home were so haggard and worn from privation and sickness that there was a strong pulling at one's heartstrings as he cheered them a welcome home. But from fervent hearts everywhere there went up thanks to God that these had been spared. UWUKIO'I llljf Loss. A lire which sUutod i:i the Woodward furniture works at Uwosso destroyed that plant; the Owosso Brewing Co. *s plant, Crowe & l'uyue's agricultural implement warehouse and several smaller buildings, and much other property was saveil by a shift in the wind.

While being removed from the trans port Roumania at Montauk Point Eibert Pickworth, Co. G, 33d Michigan, a yellow fever convalescent from Santiago, died. The lumber trade is picking up at Saginaw. Dealers report that during August trade was the best of any month at this time of year since the panic of '93. The day after the arrival of the 33d and 34th Michigan regiments at Detroit, John \V. Quick, of Muskegon, Co. C, 34th. died in Harper hospital of typhoid fever. Twenty-one prosecutions were made at Lansing for violation of the fish and game laws during August. The fines and costs assessed against the violators amounted to 8154. Carroll Etzcorn, of Grand Rapids. Co.

A thrashing machine engine blew up at Johnsfield, fatally injuring Mr. Winsdale, a man about 60 years of age. Both his legs were blown off, and his recovery is doubtful. The Flint common council refused to grant permission to the Woman's Belief corps to care for sick soldiers and appointed a commission of themselves te look after the boys. Ttev. W. E. Wright, of Big Rapids, chaplain of the 34th Michigan, reached home, somewhat knocked out. He hh*> had malaria and yellow fever and survived both attacks. The Detroit & Mackinac railroad has begun the running of regular trains from Onaway to Alpena. It is doubt* fnl if the road will be extended this fall from Onaway to Cheboygan. The soldiers of Co.

The straw came from 4,000 bushels of grain which he raised this year. Two of the 34th Michigan boys who were unable to accompany the regiment home died in the Presbyterian hospital, New York City from malaria. They were Edwiu Royce, Big Rapids, Co. A; Stephen Otto, Ionia, Co. L Carsonville now furnishes a market for all kinds of apples. An evaporating factory is nearly completed that will use from 150 to 200 bushels daily, while from that point many bushels are shipped by every train to other points. Gov. Pingree rejoices because he has secureH the prouTise ment that the 31st Michigan can retain its medical officers and regimental hospital corps and not have them absorbed by the division hospital. The governor is bitter against the division hospital scheme. In looking1 over old records at Lansing, Gen. William Humphrey found that the Second Michigan infautry went into the iitfht at Petersburg, Va., June 17, 18G4. with about 400 men. They came out with 187 killed, wounded or missing, or nearly 50 per cent of the regiment. The weekly weather crop bulletin says the farmers are ready to begin wheat seeding, but in most sections are compelled to wait for rain. Reports concerning' fruits are encouraging. Corn has matured too rapidly for good results. Generally late potatoes will yield a fair crop. New Michigan postmasters: Ada, Kent county, George Crow, vice H. H. Bradfield, resigned; Dorr, Allegan county, J. 0. Neuman, vice Frank Soramer, removed; Fenwick, Moutcalm The President at Wikoff. President McKinley spent five, hours in Camp Wikoff, visiting the sick in the hospitals and inspecting' the well in their cantonments. He made a speech to the assembled infantrymen. He reviewed the cavalrymen, expressed his opinion of the camp to the reporters and issued an order directing the regulars to return to their stations east of the Mississippi. With the President were Vice-President Hobart, Secretary of War Alger. Attorney - General Griggs, Senator Red field Proctor, of Vermont; Brig.-Gen. Eagan, commissary of the army; Brig.-Gen. Ludington, quartermaster of the army. ^ ^ J. Thompson, removed; Rodney, Mecosta cdunTyT \ tlon was made unanimous and Asa Carr, vice C. A. Richner, resigned. Albert Liscomb, a well-to-do farmer, walked into D. M.Scriver's hardware store at Goodrich and asked to see some rewlvers and cartridges. When two bullets were put in place Liscomb said that would do, took the revolver from the merchant's hand, plaeed it against his left temple and sent the bullet through his brain. He fell instantlj* and was dead before anyone reached bis side. Some people in the lower part of Michigan have an idea that the northern portion of this peninsula is a waste of sand barrens and pine stumps. The fact that Lewiston, in Montmorencv county, is shipping a carload of wheat a week, all raised in the immediate vicinity, doesn't quite bear out that idea, however. While in Sherman township, Iosco county, one farmer reports a yield of wheat of 69 bushels from one and a quarter bushels of seed sown on one acre of ground. The 32d Michigan regiment was on board its trains three days and nights in making the transfer from Fernandina, Fla.. to Huntsville, Ala., and they landed at their destination in a downpour of rain through which they marched two miles to camp. Arriving there the tents were found to be completely rain soaked, and mud and water two and three feet deep covered the ground. Col. McGurrin at once ordered the men back to the city to obtain such shelter as they could get. The news that the 32d was to be mus tered out soon was gratefully received by the men. After the 33d and 34th Michigan regiments had left Camp Eaton for southern camps officers were sent through the state for recruits to bring th* regiments tip to the quota of 106 men to each company. Before the recruits could join the regiments' the latter had sailed for Cuba and the recruits were concentrated at Camp Alger, but later were transfered to' Camp Meade. Now they have been ordered mustered out and 228 men of the 33d and 298 at the 34th were sent to Camp Eaton, Island Lake, and were granted 30 days furlough at their homes before being mustered out.

Killed 18,000 DervlshM. London: The khalifa's forces have been utterly routed in the Upper Nile region of Egypt and Khartoum is in possession of the British - Egyptian forces under Gen. Kitchener. The town is a complete ruin. Khalifa Abdullah and Osman Digna, his principal general, managed to escape, but Abdullah's banner and thousands of prisoners were taken. It is estimated that 15,000 of the enemy were slain. British total casualties were about 500. The entire British force was engaged from 6:30 in the morning until sunset. The dervishes resorted to their usual rushing tactics, and were simply mowed down. The khalifa's cavalry rode pell-mell at the British infantry column; but the footmen never wavered. The deadly fire poured into the enemy's rushing ranks caused the death of nearly every rider. The heroic bravery of the dervishes evoked universal admiration. Time after time their dispersed and broken forces reformed and hurled themselves upop the Anglo- Egyptians, their emirs conspicuously leading and spurning death. Even when in^death agonies _they_ raised themselves to fire a last shot. The sirdir, Gen. Sir Herbert Kitchener, with the* khalifa's black standard captured during the battle, entered Omdurman, the capital of Mahdiam, at the head of the Anglo-Egyptian column. Only two British ofllcers were killed. Gen. Kitchener telegraphs: f'The remnant of the khalifa's force has surrendered and I have now a very large number of prisoners on my hands. Our cavalry and gunboats are still pursuing the khalifa and his chiefs, who with only about 140 fighting1 men are apparently making for Kordofan." Populist National Convention. The Populist national convention at Cincinnati got into such a row that the manager of the Lyceum ordered them to leave the hall, fearing the destruction of his property. Order was finally restored by the Butler faction bolting and leaving the hall. The convention nominated Wharton Barker, of Pennsylvania, for president, by a vote of 128 4-5, as against 97 1-5 for Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota. On motion of Mr. Donnelly the nominathe'n_ Donnelly was nominated for vice-president by acclamation. A very large platform was adopted which incorporated the provisions of the Omaha platform.

R. at The remnant of that magnificent army (^ heroea who fought for their country in 1861-5 held their 32d annual reunion at Cincinnati, und the Queen City received them and treated taem most royally. The streets were waving masses of tvi-cqlored bunting ^nd flags, the red, white and blue being'in evidence on every side, together with the lone star banner of Cuba. The city was never in gayer holiday dress. Immense and beautiful arches spanned the streets at various points, adding rautfh to the beauty of the scene and the electric light designs displayed at night were gorgeous. Fully 50,000 veterans participated in the various events of the w«ok and twice as many other visitors thronged the city to witneart the grand parade and review and other feature* of the annual encampment. ' The Women's Relief Corps and Ladles of the.G. A. R. held their conventions simultaneously with the G. A. R. meeting and their presence contributed largely to the interest of the occasion. The citizens tendered receptions to Commander-in-Chief Gobln, Rear Admiral Kelley, Mrs. 8. J. Martin, president of the W. R. C, Mrs. Flora M. Davey, president of the Ladies of 4>he O. A. R., Mrs. Jennie Laird, president of the national ssociationof the Ladies of the Naval Veterans, and others. The arrival of the national and state department oflicers and the various state delegations were events full of interest, and none attracted more attention than the Michigan men, De- _troit post particularly receiving many cbMpTTmenli=o1erth^^pe^ai>peaTttaceofits men and their proficiency in drill. The first spectacular feature of the encampment was the parade of the National Navnl association and the Ex-Prisoners of War association. The spectators could not iail to be impressed with a sad feeling that they were looking upon a body of men whose days of inarching must soon end. A strong contrast was shown when the Eighth regiment U. S. volunteers; a colored regiment stationed at Ft. Thomas, followed the veterans and were in turn followed by the boys of the schools-—the younger hope of the country—passed by, bearing arms. The features of the first day were the regimental, brigade and other reunions at which the old comrades got closer together than on any other occasions. Camp fires were held at various points the first three evenings of the week. The business of the thirty-second annual encampment of the Grand Army and its auxiliaries began after three days of preliminary demonstrations. While heated contests were going on inside of the guarded doors of the encampment all the demonstrations on the outside in the city were "In" accord with the peace jubilee. The parade of the civic and industrial organizations in the afternoon with all the illustrations of peace and prosperity and happiness that could be produced was the most magnificeut pageant ever witnessed in Cincinnati. It is estimated that there were 40,000 in line and over 500,000 spectators along the line. The encampment convened at 2:30 o'clock. The first business in order was a lengthy report from the committee on pensions. The report dealt extensively in an effort to refute the charge that the pension roll was a roll of dishonor. It cited the fact that expensive investigations had been undertaken by the department of different states, and after a close inquiry there had been not a single case of fraud discovered wfaieh could be traced to a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. The committee gave figures showing that the death rate was rapidly increasing among pensioners. The number dying each year now exceeds 40,000. It is estimated that the increase in the number of deaths each year will be such that in 1920 the number of pensioners be reduced to a little over 250,- 000 and: that in 1940 the list will be obliterated. An> interruption of regular business was the presentation to ex-Command* r-inrChief Clarkson, of Nebraska, of a magnificent stiver set in an oaken case. The ex-commander, with deep feelisg-, made a response expressing his thanks for the high honor shown A motion was made immediately afterward to go into the election of oosnaaander> in-chief. The name of Albert Shaw, of Watertown, N. Y., was presented by a dele* gate of that state. Gen. John C. Black, of IlliMia, plaeed in nominatkm Jamea A. Sexto*, of Chicago. Comsuutder Pugh, of Ohio, announced that Isasvs F. Mack, of Ohio, has directed him to say that he declined to have his name presented as a candidate, because the senior vice-commander was tp be chosen from the city where the encampment is held according t« the usual costom. A delegate from Kansas, explained that the name of Thomas J. Anderson, of Topeka, which had been mentioned as i candidate, would not be presented. The roll of states waa then called and the vote was announced showing* the election of James A. Sexton, who received 4S4 votes, while Albert D, 241. ~ . ' • " .

He was Kane an hour or two, and when he returned the hotelkeeper met him at the door. "Miss Stuart has been calling for you, Mr. Monteith, and has just gone. Now what a pity you were not back ten minutes a&o, and you wpuld not -have missed her!" said the worthy Mr. Nicholson. "But she left a. note, for you, sir. Here it is." Monteith took the dainty envelope, from whiqh a subtle perfume of sweet violets arose, and glanced at the ad* dress. He.was too astonished to speak. He took it into his room—a regular bachelor's room, with pipes strewn about the mantlepiece, and his bicycle, which had been mended since his ac~ cidept, standing against the wall. There he tare open the note. "Dear Evan," ran the bold, dashing writing of, Lilith Stuart, "I am BO sorry to find you are out. I must see you again. If only for a minute. Do not be unmerciful; grant me this that I ask of you. Meet me at the Rowan Crag at two o'clock exactly. I shall be there. Yours; ttttth. F. W^—ishall depend" on you." What could it mean? Had Lilith repented? He could hardly thihk so, knowing of her what he did. If not, what more could she have to say to him on the subject? It was Impossible to conjecture. The note puzzled Evan. "But I must go. I shall give her that last chance," he thought. "I shall meet her at two, as she askn. There will be time after that for me to run round to Abbot's Head." It was half-past one when he started from the Gow Hotel. The path from the town towards the seashore road was steep and stony. Evan walked his machine down It, as he usually did. Once on the seashore road, he mounted and rode as quickly as the hllliness of the path would permit. His machine was a high-grade one, with Dunlop tfres and high-geared, so that he had to put a good deal of pressure on the pedals in ascending the hill. He was near the top, and the path was very stony, when suddenly his fore wheel came In contact with a Jarge stone_he had not noticed. The wheel went over, but the next Instant there was a sound as of something cracking beneath him.; then the whole frame seemed thrown violently over, and before Evan could help himself he was shot over the handlebars, and landed on his back a little distance away from the machine. Luckily he was not much hurt, and in a few seconds was able to pick himself up and look at his machine. To his amazement, the front fork had snapped at the point where it w&* drilled tor the axle, the framework had lurched, the axle springing from the socket, and the wheel had "buckled." "I am an unfortunate beggar," muttered Monteith to himself. "This Is the second time I've come to grief in these Islands of nightless summer. Well, there's nothing for it but to leave the machine here and hurry on to keep my appointment. I can trust the natives .not to touch it." He had scratched his hand severely and twisted his arm; but these were trifling injuries to what he might have experienced* And as Evan hurried on, he thanked God for what seemed almost a miraculous escape. "If It had happened near Rowan Crag, God only knows where I might be now!" he thought to himself, shuddering a little as he hurried onwards. If he had understood better the terrible nature of the danger he had escaped, his thank* would have been deeper than they were. "I am going along by the cliffs this afternoon, Miss Troll. You will tell Lady Weetray so." "Oft your machine, Miss Stuart?" Elspeth Troll asked, looking up quickly. "Ye«; on my machine. Why not?" "I do not know that It is Quite safe," Elspeth 4ald, taming away again to look out of the window. Nicholson Juts not mended that broken fence yet." Cilith laughed a little. "You think I am afraid? It takes more than a broken fence to frighten me, Miae Troll." She passed out of the room, and Elsptth looked after her uneasily. "I do not know why I ahould feel «o about this sudden re»oiY« of hen," «h« gaid to herself at last, rislt* and walking uneasily about the room. "I feti at if—ai If aooM ttrrlhto cat— trap** were oanglnf or«r ui all, a&4 2 * # ted a. biod la It Bui*? J an allowing my imagination to run away with me? And yet—" She paused by the work-basket which stood in a corner of the room. A book had been hastily thrown into it. Half mechanically Elspeth picked it up. It was entitled "Cyeling; Common Accidents, and How to Avert Them." The book fell open at a leaf which had been folded down. The section was headed, "Fork and Axle; How They Break, and How to Repair." Elspeth glanced over the page and, as she did so, a strange pallor came into her face. , Suddenly she threw down the book and rested a trembling hand on the table. Whence had come that sudden, horrible thought which had leaped upon her like a beast of* prey, and was now holding her in a deadly grip that she could not shake off? Elspeth did not know; but before the horror of it she shuddered and covered her face, feeling suddenly icy cold, though the day was warm. "I am mad!" she whispered presently, lotting her handa fall. "God forbid that anything so horrible fihpuld_be real!" Arid yet why not go out mysel. and—and avert danger, if there should be any?" Lady Westray was taking her afterluncheon nap. Elspeth ran downstairs, put on a hat In the hall and, starting through the grounds, was soon on the seashore path. It was a September afternoon, and a glorious day—not too sultry, but with the first cool breath of, Autumn in the air. As Elspeth raced along, listening to the soft swish-swish of the waves as they broke on the cliffs below, the invigorating air seemed to banish the horrible fear that had seized her mind in so sudden and wild a fashion. "What a wicked, suspicious mind I must have!" she thought. Even as the thought pa8a*4 through her mind she noticed the tall figure of a man walking rapidly toward her. For a moment Elspeth thought it was Evan Montieth, and her heart beat fast; but in a few seconds she saw her mistake, and recognized him as Magnus Halcrow. On a sudden impulse she moved from the pathway, and retreated towards the line of rowan-trees and birche* which ran along higher up from the cliff. As she did so the whirring sound of a bicycle comlag rapidly along the road startled her. She looked round. It was Lilith, who came flying along the dangerous road like a creature of the woods and sea, her masses of reddishaubnrn hair floating about her, her lips part-id, her eyes wild with excitement. She vas rushing at a breakneck speed. Elst/eth could have shrieked aloud to see her. She waa close to that dangerous part —the part of- the cliff-road which was so close to the rocks that it had been guarded by a palisade of wood for the safety of pedestrians or riders. Only the day before the keeper had come to inform Miss Stuart that a portion of the fencing had been broken down, evidently by some malicious person, and that the path was therefore dangerous. Yet, in defiance of this, Lilith had elected to ride along'this road today. Why had ehe done so? As Elspeth gazed with fascinated eyes, hardly drawing a breath, at the flying wheel and its rider, Magnus suddenly emerged into the path round a turning. Did Ulith Stuart see him? Did she recognize him? Did she take him for some one else? None knew—none should ever know in this world. She rode on wildly, her pedals hardly seeming to revolve, so rapid was the motion. A log lay across the road. The rider could not have noticed it, for the next moment her machine rocked wildly. A shriek rose to Elspeth's lips. She checked it, with a strange feeling that she herself was about to die. Then—oh, God, how could Elspeth look on it and still live?—the pedestrian had sprung forward and evidently made a wild attempt to seise the machine. For one moment—It was all done in the twinkling of an eye—Elspeth saw Lilith Stuart's face as she wildly threw her head backwards. Its expression of horror, amaxement and white despair would haunt Elspeth as long as she lived. A scream rent the air—roch a scream as one hears in a nightmare, and cannot forget for days—a scream from Lllith'i lips; and then—Elspeth was gating wildly at empty spaoe! Man, woman, bicycle—all had disappeared. Klspeth thought she uttered a cry; La reality no sound came frosa hex dry lips and throat. Ssv- oulci neve, afterwards recall what sfte did. . The first thing she was conscious of wtta that she was looking Into Bran Monteltb's face and trying, with lips that refused to move or do her bidding, to tell him all. But she knew that he understood her when she saw his own face grow pale as death. "Wait here," he said hoarsely, seising her hand In a momentary grasp. "I shall run tor Nicholson, and we shall go down to the shore together. Don't move till I come back." When he returned she was still there; but her expression frightened even the keeper, and she was shivering from head to foot like one In an ague. "Run on to the castle, Miss Troll. Send men with stretchers," said Monteith, speaking very quietly. "Have things ready for them, and pray God they may be required." Elspeth Troll only asked one question. "You will bring both to the castle?" "We will, Miss," answered the keeper, whose face reflected the pallor of Monteith's. Elspeth was waiting in the hall when, an hour later, the terrible cortege arrived. It was she who had done everything—despatched the men with stretchers, telegraphed for a doctor, soothed Lady Westray, and was in violent hysterics, and directed the horror- stricken servants. She had kept up her courage while, doing all this; but now, as the men solemnly filed into the hall, carrying between them two rude litters covered with sheets, under which lay—oh, God what?—a strange dizziness came over Elspeth, and she had to cling to the wall for support. Evan Montetth came to hor cirtw, as Elspeth's eyes wildly sought his face, she guessed the truth. "No use deceiving you, Miss Troll," he said, his voice low and husky. "No power on earth can do anything for her. She must have been killed instantaneously, that is one consolation." "And he?" whispered Elepeth. "Still lives, thank God!" said Monteith. And he lifted his hat from his head reverently. Elspeth slipped from his hold and knelt for a moment on that marble floor, corering her face with her hands. When she roee, Evan Monteith, looking in her face, read there the secret of Elspeth Troll's life. (To be Continued.) CHIVALRY AT CHAPULTEPEC NobU Act of • MlMiMtpplsn in tb« Storming' of the Fortress. The Hon. John Temple Graves, in a brief speech before Georgia Woman's Club, told on the spur of the moment a beautiful story—a true story—which err1 halms the heroism and surpassing chivalry of a gallant veteran now living in Atlanta. Mr. Graves said: "This Is an era of heroes. We are glorifying the prowess of Dewey and Hobson and Blue and crowning them with immortal memories. And this is right. The appreciation of heroes produces heroes. Men do not mind risking their lives for a country that will remember the daring. And the time to recognize heroes is while they live, not after they are dead. Let us remember our present heroes while they are with us, and let us not now or ever forget the heroes yet living whose prowess glorified an earlier day. "There is a hero and a night of chivalry in this hall to-night, Le me tell you the splendid story which his modest lips have never told: "The war with Mexico is a part of our martial history. Taylor and Scott and Davis and Lee came out of it immortal. The epic of the great struggle was the storming of Chapultepec. That frowing fortress was the Gibraltar of Mexico. Its massive walls seemed impregnable. But American daring halted at no obstacles, and an intrepid band of volunteers was chosen to scale and assault It. "Among the first of the dauntless few who braved their way through the shot and shell to the fortress on that dreadful day was a young Mississippian, handsome as Alcibiades, proud, confident, and thrilling with patriotic ferver. He was among thctfrst if not one of the first, to scale the wall, and, sword in hand, dashed along that storm-swept rampart in advance of all his fellows, to cut down the waving flag of the enemy and reap the Immortality of the deed. He was the first to reach the flag; his sword was raised, when he heard swift footsteps behind him. He paused, turned and saw his commanding officer, to whom he was tenderly attached and deeply obligated. And then this gallant Mississippian, without a moment's hesitation,^ with the bow of a Chesterfield, lowered his sword and with the point at rest stood aside while his friend and commanding officer cut down tbe flag of Mexico and was bulletined for the laurels of that splendid day. In the history of battles there was never more gallant, more chivairie deed than that And the real hero of Chapultepec maimed and gray, but glorious still, sits just before me here tonight in tbe person <rf my aoble and Moped friend. GeatnJ WUttas*. & THE PLOT FAILED. An Attempt Mad* to Kill the 0 of A dispatch from London says: A report is published here of a daring plot to assissinate the czar of Bussia at Moscow. The plan of the conspirators was to allow gas to escape into a house on the route of the czar's procession until the atmosphere in every roojn had become saturated. One of their number was to remain in the house and strike a light When the czar was passing, in expectation that the house would be blown to pieces and the czar killed by the flying debries. The conspirator would perish himself as a sacrifice to the cause. The duty fell to the lot of one Alexander Kolanoff. In his agitation Kolanoff seems to have made an error, as the explosion was mistimed. When it occurred, a staff officer and hits wife were driving past the house, and they, instead of the czar, were killed. Their coachman will probably die of his injuries and about 30 other persons were more or less seriously injured. Kolanoff's mangled body was found among the ruins. The czar and czarina drove by just 2ft minutes later. Many arrests have been made in Moscow, but the Russian tress has been forbidden to refer to the matter. Grand Army Parade. The great annual parade of the Grand Army eclipsed ail other events, with a bright blue sky and everything in its favor it surpassed all expectations. The procession moved in the following order: Grand Marshal Gen. A. Hickenlooper and staff; Old Glory; color guard—Cavalry elub; Commander-in-Chief Gen. J. P. S. Gobln and staff, first division, department of Illinois; second division, departments of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania; third division, departments of New York and Connecticut; fourth division, dextOTentBorMassireuuseits; 57eWJersey, Maine, evada, California, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire Potomac.

New Mexico and Utah: ninth division, departments of Tennessee. Louisiana, Mississippi Florida, Montana. Tuxas. Idaho. Arizona, Georgia. Alabama. North Dakota. Oklahoma and Indian Territory, All along the line of march there were casks of ice water and lemonade for the marchers. ^ There were numerous meetings previous to the parade, but none that attracted more attention than the meeting of "the blue and the gray" at the Chamber of Commerce. This meeting had been arranged by resident confederal veterans, with a view of bringing about the most cordial handshaking over the blood chasm, and it was eminently successful.

Many extraordinary cases of the work of the little conqueror are coming to light in Michigan. Hundreds of them have been investigated by our representative and each but gives added strength to those which hare gone before. Such well deserved words of praise are daily showered on this modern wonder-worker from all parts of the Union. Speaking of her experience a lady of Grand Rapids, Mrs. Jno. Gardner, who resides at No. 309 Second street, says: For over 20 years I was bothered with kidney trouble, tmd despite treatment bv physicians and u*in;: almost every remedy that come to mv notice I received no permanent relief until I tried Doan's Kidney PUls. No one except those who have been through the mill of kidney complaint can tell the torture that one endures. The constant pains across my back extending up the right side: totally unable to lie on my rfcht side: the stiffness and numbness of my limbs: the excruciating pain: is something much more easy to think about than to express. Many a time my husband has had to rub my back to get up the circulation before I was able to net on my feet. My family prevailed on me to try Doan's Kidney PiUs. but as I had used dozens of other remedies I had very little nope of finding relief. They persisted in their advice and in the fall of lJtttt" I used three ooxes. I felt like a different person. I tros in better health than I had been in years. The pain in my back left. I slept well at night. I could do my housework as well as I ever ooold, and I give the entire credit to Doan"s Kidney Pills. I make this statement so that other women who suffer aa I suffered may be in » position to know what to - use if they wish to get rid of that too prevalent disease, kidney complaint.

A motonuan in Brooklyn fainted twice Tuesday nlgkt, onc« from fright and once because be found that he had not crushed out a human life. He 1B the most remarkable motor man in Brooklyn. He Is different from all hla kind, says the New York Herald. He was running his car along at full speeJ at 1:30 o'clock, when the motorman eaw a figure lying upon the truck. He tried to stop the car. He was too late. There was a whirring sound, a crushing, grinding noise, which gradually ceased, and then tke car stopped. The motorman saw a shoe over the edge of the fender. He put his hands to hin face and fell backward in a dead faint. More than a score of passengers wiiJi bleached faces left the car and leaked at the form beneath the trucks. The limbs were twisted about the wheels and wisps of straw showed from the torn clothing. The passengers, *%fter much difficulty, extricated the form which had been run over and found it was that of a Spanish general of great distinction. The man who had been run over had a card across his breast, which bore thja inscription: "This is vVeyler." Half a dozen passengers had meanwhile succeeded In reviving tho motorman. "Did I kill him?" asked the knight of the lever, when he revived. "That's all right, old man," said a good-natured passenger, slapping the motorman on the shoulder, "it was a straw one this time." No. 779 was in a daze. He looked at the passengers and then at the distorted figure upon the pavement. He jumped upon hijL car, released^ the lever and j ^ ran his empty co!i~veyalictr:wTln~""aT speed up the avenue. He stopped short in front of the police station. He abandoned his car and rushed into the house. "Sergeant," he said, "I've killed a man down at Powell street." There was a scurrying around the station house. A patrol wagon hastened to the scene of the accident. Fifteen minutes later three disgusted-looking policemen came back. "Brace up, old man," said one of them to the wildeyed motorman. "Your victim was a man of straw." Being told to "brace up," the" motorman fainted again. He was revived with appropriate stimulants and a few minutes later he was running his car again, blithe and hafpy. Young America OB War. An essay on the present war between the United States and Spain, wiitten by Paul Harper, the 6-year-old eon of William Hudson Harper of Evanston, 111., and printed in the Index, is as follows: "This war is prty sirius, and this is why ft is, beekas at first you no the Spanish ' Minister swor at Mukinerly and did not apolugls for such a long time. And irhe next slrlua -Hrtng--wt I should like to of seen that grate eksplotion. And then the Starvelng Cyobens are prty sirius to. And now we have beegun the war and many brave comrades will dide for ther country. Prhaps ther wiH not bee a man In the town, and meny a muther will mourn for her husbands. Ded lay they on the batlfld, and ther stand ther muthera weeping for ther huzbane. They take the war.ded to the hospitl and the ded to the graves. And meny Spanish ships will singk, and feew American ships wMl singk, and we shall flte the Spanyrds on land and sea, And bur flas waves over the Filupeens ilens this day and are army." The last page of the manuscript was embellished with drawings of one battleship with the stars and stripes flying from its masthead. Another man-of-war is shown just coming into sight.

ANDJOCWS, Publisher PINOKNBY, • " • One touch of love mends all a heart's punctures. Some men marry maids and aome «re married by widows. When it comes to manual labor the average man is an Immune, Tlie man who looks upon the wlna When it Is red may feel blue later. A woman changes her mind so often that It keeps her busy speaking It. Tha man who attempts to flatter you la either a fool or he thinks you are one. We've often wondered what will become of the self-made man in cne final round-up. Just as soon as a man acquires his Ideal he begins to look around for a superior one. A woman admires one man for the qualities he has and loves another for those he hasn't. When a man asserts that he is Just as good as another man he always believes he's better. Conscience may tell a man that he la doing wrong, but fortunately it does- ! f h The widower who mourns the loss of his first wife sometimes has the period of his mourning extended by taking a second. The woman who is continually lecturing her husband either thinks he is a fool, or else she has forgotten that a word to the wise is sufficient. Every time Senator Steve ElWns hears of "some fine openings in Cuba for young Americans," he can't repress the thought that he is "just as young as he used to be." In Porto Rico the milkman milks his cow in front of the customer's door, which is several points ahead of the American way of milking the cow in front of the pump. The Canadian papers speak of a "Gen Foster" as one of the American commissioners at the Quebec conference. Mr. Foster is an "old diplomatic hand," but his new military title is probably of Kentucky origin. It Is ordered by a police authority In New York that no woman with short skirts shall be permitted on the streets of the town unless accompanied by a wheel, »or at least a tag signifying that she owns one. What Impudence is this! Any decent woman is a judge of those things better than forty police authorities, and decent women have rights that the police are bound to respect. And if a woman does ride a wheel can she be allowed to go around half naked? Lieutenant Hobson says he can raise and save the finest of Cervera's fleet, the Cristobal Colon, and get her into harbor at a cost of not to exceed $500,000. Spain claims that the vessel and her armament cost close on to six millions of dollars. She originally belonged to Italy and was known as the Garibaldi. The only fear Hobson has is the effect of the hurricanes of those seas now about due, wh^en ""might smash the vessel to pieces because ox her position on the reef. Admiral Sampson reports that one ship of the Spanish navy defeated by the fleet tinder his command will be floated and towed into port. In a recent dispatch to the navy department he says that AS soon as a small leak in the bow of the Infanta Maria Teresa la located tha ship will be pumped out and brought to the harbor of Guantanamo. Two new vessels may thus be soon added to our navy. Almost the whole of the public debt of tha nations of the world has been incurred in war. Sinoa 1702 Great Britain has added £904,000,000 to her public debt in seventy-five years of war, and diminished the dabt £276,- 000,000 In one hundred and twenty years of peace. Thus it takes more than five years of peace to pay the loss occasioned by one year of war. The set dabt of. the United States in July, Iftl, was $87,700,000; in August, 1865, It was $2,756,000,000. It reached the lowest point since the civil war in 1893, whan it waa $839,000,000. That Is, in twantj-eight years of peace this rich tsmntry had paid a little more than two-thirds of the debt incurred in four years of war. Franca staggers under * public debt which cause* an annual tatamat charge of $6.60 for every person In the country, and sha owes this Aebt chiefly to foreign and domestic wars. It la aaarijr tha same story y , and wa ara learning this thai national gfetr to ooatly, even TALMAGE'S SERMON. OUR OWN TIMES. SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. Test Act*, 13sS6i "David After Be H»d Served HU Own Generation by Ut« Will of Uod Fell on Sleep-—Good Advice for Lawmaker* That is a text which has for a long time been running through my mind. Sermons have a time to be born as well as a time to die; a cradle as well as a grave. David, cowboy and stoneslinger, and fighter, and dramatist, and blank-verse writer, and prophet, did his best for the people of his time, and then went and laid down on the southern hill of Jerusalem in that sound slumber which nothing but an archangelic blast can startle. "David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep." It was hiB own generation that he had served; that is, the people living at the time he lived. And have you ever thought that our responsibilities are chiefly with the people now walking abreaBt of us? There are about four generations to a century now, but in olden times, lite was longer, and there wa3, perhaps, only one generation to a century. Taking these facts into the calculation, I make a rough guess, and say that there have been at least one hundred and eighty generations of the human family. With reference to them we have no responsibility. We can not teach them, we cannot correct their mistakes, we cannot soothe their sorrows, we cannot heal their wounds. Their sepulchres are deaf and dumb to anything we^ might jsayjaf them. The last regiment of that great army has passed out of sight. We might halloo as loud as we could; not one of them would avert his head to see what we wanted. I admit that I am in sympathy with the child whose father had suddenly died, and who in her little evening prayer wanted to continue to pray for her father, although he had gone into heaven and no more needed her prayers, and looking up into her mother's face, said: "Oh, mother, I cannot leave him all out. Let me say, thank God that I had a good father once, so I can keep him in my prayers." , But the one hundred and eighty generations have passed off. Passed up. Passed down. Passed forever. Then there are generations to come after our earthly existence has ceased. We ) shall not see them; we shall not hear any of their voices; we will take no part in their convocations, their elections, their revolutions, their catastrophies, their triumphs. We will In no wise affect the 180 generations gone or the 180 generations to come, except aa from the galleries of heaven the former generations look down and rejoice at our victories, or aa wv m**y,~ by our behavior, start influences, good or bad, that shall roll on through the advancing ages. But our business is, like David, to serve, our own generation, the people now living, those whose lungs now breathe, and whose hearts now beat. And mark you, it is not a silent procession, but moving. It is a "forced march" at twenty-four miles a day, each hour being a mile. Going with tthat celerity, it has got to be a quick service on our part, or no service at all. We not only cannot teach the 180 generations past, and will not see the 180 generations to come, but this generation now on the stage will soon be off, and we ourselves will be off with them. The fact is, that you and I will have to start very soon for our work, or it will be ironical and sarcastic for any one after our exit to say of us, as it was said of David, "After he had served^his own generation by the will of God, he fell on sleep." ^ Well, now, let us look around earnestly, prayerfully, in a common sense way, and see what we can do for our own generation. First of all, let us see to it that, as far as we can, they have enough to eat. The human body is so constituted that three times a day the body needs food as much as a lamp needs oil, as much as a locomotive needs fueL To meet this want God has girdled the earth with apple orchards, orange groves, wheat fields, and oceans full of fish, and prairies full of cattle. And notwithstanding this, I will undertake to Bay that the vast majority of the human family are now suffering either for lack of food or the right kind of food. Our civilization is all askew, and God only can set it right. Many of the greatest estates of today have been built out of the blood and bones of unrequited toil. la olden times, for the building of forts and towers, the inhabitants of Ispahan had to contribute 70,000 .skulls, and Bagdad 90,000 human *kulls, and that number of people were compelled to furnish the skulls. But these two contributions added together made only 160,000 skulls, while into the tower of the worM's wealth and pomp have been wrought tha skeletons gA uncounted numbers of the half-fed populations of the earth—millions of skulls. Don't alt down at your table with five or six courses of abundant supply and think nothing of that family in the next street who would take any oae of those five aonraea between soup and almond auta aad foal they were In heaven. The of tfca ftffct kind of food la tha cause of much of the drunkenness. After drifiking what many of our grocers, call coffee, sweetened with what many call sugar, and eating what many of our butchers call meat, and chewing what many of our bakers call bread, many of the laboring class feel so miserable they are tempted to put into their nasty pipes what the tobacconist calls tobacco, or go into the drinking saloons for what the rum sellers call beer. Good coffee would do much in driving out bad rum. Row can we serve our generation with enough to eat? By sitting down in embroidered slippers and lounging back in an arm chair, our mouth puckered up around a Havana of the beat brand, and through clouds of luxuriant smoke reading about political economy and the philosophy of strikes? Oh, no! By finding out who in this city has been living on gristle, and sending than a tenderloin beefsteak. Seek out some family, who through sickness or conjunction of misfortunes, have not enough to eat, and do for them what Christ did for the hungry multitudes of Asia Minor, multiplying the loaves and fishes. Let us quit the surfeiting of ourselves until we cannot choke down another crumb of cake, and begin the supply of others' necessities. So far from helping appease the world's hunger, are those whom Isaiah describes as grinding the faces of the poor. You have seen a farmer or a mechanic put a scythe or an ax on a grindstone, while someone was turning it round and round and the man holding the ax bore on it harder and harder, while the water dropped from the grindstone, and the edge of the ax from being round and dull, got keener and keener. So I have seen men who were__put against the grindstone of SardlhTpT^nd white one tuThelTUte crank, another would press the unfortunate harder down and harder down until he was ground away thinner and thinner—his comforts thinner, his prospects thinner, and his face thinner. And Isaiah shrieks out: "What meiu ye that ye grind the faces of the poor?" • • • But, alas! where are the good clothes for three-fourths of the human race? The other one-fourth have appropriated them. The fact is, there needs to be and will be, a redistribution. Not by anarchistic violence. If outlawry had its way, it would rend and tear and diminish, until, instead of three-fourths of the world not properly- attired, fourfourths would be in rags. I will let you know how the redistribution will take place. By generosity on the part of those who have a surplus, and increased industry on the part of those suffering from deficit. Not all, but the large majority of cases of poverty in this country are a result of idleness or drunkenness, either on the part of the present sufferers or their ancestors. In most cases the mm Jug Is the maelstrom that has swallowed down the livelihood of those who are in rags. But things will change, and by generosity on the part of the crowded wardrobes, and industry and sobriety on the part of the empty wardrobes, there will be enough for all to wear. God has done his part toward the dressing of the human race. He grows a surplus of wool on the sheep's back, and flocks roam the mountains and valleys with a burden of warmth Intended for transference to human comfort, when the shuttles of the factories, reaching all the way from Chattahoochee to the MerrJmac, shall have spun and woven It. In white letters of ^nowy fleece God has been writing for a thousand years, his wish that there might be warmth for all nations. While others are discussing the effect of high or low tariff, or no tariff at all, on wool, you and I had better see if in our wardrobes we have nothing that we can spare for the suffering, or pick out some poor lad of the street and take him down to a clothing store and fit him out for the season. Gospel of shoes! Gospel of hats! Gospel of clothes for the naked! Again, let us look around and see how we may serve our generation. What shortsighted mortals we would be if we were anxious to clothe and feed only the most insignificant part of a man, namely, his body, while we put forth no effort to clothe and feed and eave his soul. Time is a little piece broken off a great eternity. What are we doing for the souls of this present generation? Let me say it Is a generation worth saving. Most magnificent men and women are In !t. We make a great ado about the improvements in navigation, and in locomotion, and in art and machinery. We remark what wonders of telegraph and telephone and the stethoscope. What trnprovemeot is electric light over a tallow candle! But all these improvements are insignificant compared with the improvement in the human race, hi olden times, once In a while, a great and good man or woman would come up, and the world haa made a great fuss about it erer since; bnt now they are so numerous, we scarcely apeak about them. We put a halo about th* people of the past bvt I think if the times demanded them, it would be found we hare now living- in this year, J8»8, fifty Martin Lathers, fifty George Waahlagtona, fifty Lady Hanttstttoaa. * * , Hniiahata During our civil war more splendid warriors In North and South were developed in four yean than the whole world developed in the previous twen* ty years. I challenge the 4,000 years before Christ and also the eighteen centuries after Christ to show me the equal of charity on a large scale of George Peabody. This generation of men and women Is more worth saving than any one of the 180 generations that have passed off. Where shall we begin? With ourselves. That is the pillar from which we must start, Preecott, the blind historian, tells us how Piaarro saved his army for the right when they were about deserting him. With his sword he made a long mark on the ground. He said: "My men, on the north side are desertion and death; on the eouth side Is victory; on the north side Panama and poverty; on the south side Peru with all its riches. Choose for yourselves; for my part I go to the south." Stepping across the line one by one his troops followed, and finally his whole army. The sword of God's truth draws the dividing line today, On one side of it are sin, and ruin and death; on the other side of it are pardon and usefulness and happiness and heaven. You cross from the wrong side to the right Bide, and your family will cross with you, and your friends and your associates. The way you1 go they will go. If we are not saved, we will never save any one else. • • • Why will you keep us all so nervous talking about that which is only a dormitory and a pillowed slumber, canopied by angels' wings? Sleep! Transporting sleep! And what a glO" rlous awakening! Ton and I have sometimes been thoroughly bewildered Aftera-longand have stopped at a friend's house for the night, and after hours of complete unconsciousness we have opened our eyes, the high-risen sun full in our faces, and before we could fully collect our faculties, have said: "Where am I; whose house is this, and whose are these gardens?" And, then, it has flashed upon us in glad reality. And I should not wonder If, after we have served our generation, and by the will of God, have fallen on e'eep, the deep sleep, the restful sleep, we should awaken in blissful bewilderment, and for a little while say: "Where am I? What palace is this? Why. this looks like heaven! It is; it is. Why, there Is a building grander than all the castles of earth heaved into a mountain of splendor—that must be the palace of Jesus. And look there, at those walks lined with foliage more beautiful than anything I ever saw before, and see those who are walking down those aisles of verdure. From what I have heard of them, those two arm and arm must be Moses and Joshua, him of Mount Sinai and him of the halting sun over Glbeon. And those two walking arm In arm must be John and Paul, the one so gentle and the other so mighty. "But I must not look any longer at those gardens of beauty, but examine this building in which I have just awakened. I look out of the window this way and that, and up and down, and I find it is a mansion of immense size in which I am stopping. All its windows of agate and its colonnades of porphyry and alabaster. Why, I wonder if this is not the 'House of many Mansions,' of which I used to read? It is; it is. There must be many of my kindred and friends in this very mansion. Hark! Whose are those voices? Whose are those bounding feet? I open the door and see, and lo! they are coming through all the corridors and up and down all the stairs, our long-absent kindred. Why, there is father, there is mother, there are the children. All well again. All young again. All of us together again. And as we embrace each other with the cry, 'Never more to part; never more to part,' the arches, the alcoves, the hallway* echo and re-echo the, words 'Never more to part, never more to part!' Then our glorified friends say: 'Come out with us and see heaven.' And, some of them bounding ahead of us and some of them skipping beside us, we start down the ivory stairway. And we meet, coming up, one of the kings of ancient Israel, somewhat small of stature, but having a countenance radiant with a thousand victories. And as all are making obeisance to this great one of heaven, I cry out, 'Who la he?' and the answer comes: 'This is the greatest of all kings; it is David, who, after he had served his generation by the will of God, fell on sleep.' ** A duuitabte Dachca* The Duchess of Portland is an untiring charity worker, and her name has headed many a Hit of patronesses of bazaars and church social affairs.

Her domes and turrets high: With her hundred tali and tapering spires All flashing to the sky. Shall I not sing of thee, beloved? My beautiful, my pride!

With thoughts of thy free ocean wind, And the clasping, fond old tide— With all thy kindred household smokes, Upwreathing far away; And the merry bells that pealed as now On my grand sire's wedding day: green gravjM and truthM e , " " Oh, city by the sea! My heritage, and priceless dower. My beautiful, in thee! The Longest Speech on Record. The longest speech on record, says the Toronto Globe, is believed to have been that made by Mr. De Cosmos, in the legislature of British Columbia, when a measure was pending the passage of which would take from a great many settlers their lands. De Cosmos was in a hopeless minority. The job had been held back until the eve of the close of the session; unless legislation was taken before noon of % given day the act of confiscation would fall. The day before the expiration of the limitation, De Cosmos got the floor about 10 a. m., and began a speech against the bill. Its friends cared little, for they supposed that by 2 o'clocck he would be through and the bill could be put on its passage. One o'clock came and De Cosmos was speaking still —he had not more than entered upon his subject. Two o'clock—he wa« saying "in the second place." Three o'clock—he produced a fearful bundle nf avldeno* «nrt lnniBfMT nn reading it The majority began to have a suspicion of the truth—he was going to speak till next noon and kill the bill. Fogr a while they made merry over it, but as it came on to dusk they began to get alarmed. They tried interruptions, but soon abandoned them, because each one afforded him a chance to discuss and gain time. They tried to shoot him down, but that gave him a breathing space, and finally they settled down to watch the combat between the strength of will and weakness of body. They gave him no mercy, no adjournment for dinner, no chance to do more than wet his lips with water, no wandering from bis subject, no sitting down. Twilight darkened; the gas was Mt; members slipped out to dinner in relays and returned to sleep in squads, but De Cosmos went on. The speaker, to whom he was addressing himself, was alternately dozing and trying to look wide awake. Day dawned and the majority slipped out in squads to wash and breakfast, and the speaker still held on. It cannot be said that it was a very logical, eloquent or sustained speech. There were digressions in it; repetitions also. But still the speaker kept on, and at last noon came to a baffled majority, livid with rase and Impotence. And a single man, who was triumphant, though his voice had sunk to a husky whisper, his eyes were almost shut, and bleared, and bloodshot; his legs tottered under him, his baked lips were cracked and smeared with blood. De Cosmos had spoken twenty-four hours and saved the lands. In the United States congress William J. Bryan onos made a long speech for time and held his hearers spellbound tor fourteen hours. What Oar Ueop Baally Is. It was at one time supposed that in sleep the brain wu richly charged with blood. This it now confessed to be aa error, says the New York World. Sleep etfsues when the brain It largely denuded of blood, when cerebral anaemia Is established. To partly empty the brain of its blood supply, to keep the head cool, the body sufficiently warm and to send the blood rather to the lower extremities—this ii the physical problem of, the sleepless. During sleep a great number of the bodily functions continue quite normal without interfering with sleep itself, and therefore sleep is not so like death as some of the poets have Imagined. Man asleep is not so profoundly different from man awake, the two chief points of difference, however, being Ui«se: A greater indrawing Of oxygen and exhalation of carbonic acl4 and a complete vaso-motor rest. WiU) a heavy sleeper there should be nq thick curtains, but with a light sleeptf curtains are essential, as sunlight playi upon the optic nerve and rouses that attention which It is the one object at the sleeper to keep In suspended animation. Perfect or nearly perfect health Is the first condHJon of sound sleep. Bu{ scarcely any one is quite healthy. The. one great thing to do is not only to tire out the body, but to fatigue tht r.tittve mind and so drive the congested Wood from the brain. Quiet and regnrar habits, a certain monotony of light evening occupation will tend In tfcts direction, while a great variety of evening entertainments is generally fatal to the victim of insomnia. It is UE wise to go to bed on either an empty or a very full utomech; a slight meal before rest is the wise course. Reaehlnc tho Pol* Without Loss of I*U« We know that dogs are the cavalry horfes of the Arctics, says Walter Weinman in the Review of Reviews, and that we must have plenty of doff" powtr to drag all the loads over tht good Ice, in order to save the strength of tho men for the rougher places; and plenty of man-power to get everything quickly over the rubble, ridges and leads--the dogs resting at these bad spots, and the men resting while the dogs do the work on the long reaches of level or undulating surface. With a party of six hardy men, with fifty draft dogs from Siberia, with a rubber pneumatic boat which has no rigid surface to receive injurious blows in ice, with specially built sledges that =are_dJawn each by one dog, a n d t h sf may capsize without Injury or the nes4 of righting, so that the dogs go along practically without attention or driving, with light weights constantly becoming lighter, with man-power and dog-power enough to keep moving straight ahead all the time with all the loads without the need of "doubling up"—that is, to divide the load into two parts, and thus go three times over the road—with careful attention, guided by experience, to every minute detail of food and equipment, it is possible to travel an average of from 13 to 17 miles per day, if the weather permits. At an average progress of only № miles per day, the pole could be reached and returned from in the comparatively short time of 83 days. Ample time would remain for the party to make its way back to the station on the southern coast to meet the steamer sent out after it. In this way, with a very small expenditure of money, and with only a year and three months' absence from civilization, I believe tbat what has heretofore been impossible can be done, and the North Pole can be attained without the loss of a single human life. Whea People Me«t la Japaav Nothing is more amusing than to watch two acquaintances saluting in the streets of a Japanese town, says the New York World. As they come in sight of each other they slacken their pace and approach with downcast eyes and averted faces, as If neither was worthy of beholding the other; then they bow low, so as to bring the fact on a level with the knees, on which the palms of the hands are pressed. A succession of hissing sounds is next made by drawing in the breath between the closed teeth, interspersed with a series of complimentary phrases uttered with great volubility in a sort of undertoned falsetto, each trying to outdo his friend in rapidity and extravagance of language, while the palms are diligently rubbed against each other. At last the climax is reached and each endeavors to give the precedence to the other. For some time, perhaps for s, full minute, the polite contest continues; then the ceremony abruptly ends, as if the difficulty were capable of nose but a brusque solution, and the two pass hurriedly, with a look of extreme relief on their faces. The Lavrgeat Flag la the World. T ie Stars and Stripes in the shape of the largest flag in the world will float over Morro Castle, Havana, when Blanco surrenders. The immense flag designed for this duty is already prepared, and may be seen draped at the front of an empty storeroom in New York city. A patriotic Wall street man has had the great flag made. It measures 120 feet in length and forty-three and one-third feet la width, and it is believed that it breaks the record for size. It is so big thyf special bunting was made for It ia Bottom. The bunting measures forty-two inches acroes in the rough. Made up in the flag, allowing for seams, each stripe measures forty laches. It took a full piece of forty yards for each stripe, except when they roa Into the Jack. The Jack measures forty feet in length and covers the space of seven stripes. The stars are not very large. From point to point each star measures fourteen Inches. They are arranged In alternating rows of seven and eight, according to army regulations. Big as it la, the to? eaa be easily packed in a Urge tmvell&g trank and will not weigh more the* tot to 150 pounds. HEROES OF WAR. From the Chicago Ttmes-Berald. The foiling of admiration for heroes of war seems to be innate in tb« human heart, and it brought to tho surf acs as the opportunity and object, for such haro worship presents itself. Among those who proved their heroism during our Civil War was A. Bchiffensder, of 101 Bedgwick Street, Chicago. Heia an Australian by birth, came to America at the age of t w e n t y, and soon became sn American citizen. Hewi living at Mil-xjk S^7KJfr Vt_#v wauke* when ^ * ^ * ^ / a *+** the call for vol- H* received a wound. re, early is I860, and he promptly enlisted ia Company A, of the Twenty-sixth Wisconsin Volunteers. In the Army of the Potomac our hero saw much fighting, campaigning in the Shan* aadoah Valley. Ia the first day's fighting at the battle of Gettysburg, Bohiffeneder received a wound in the right side, which afterward caused him much trouble. With a portion of bis regiment he was captured and imprisoned at Bell Island and Andersonville, aad after* ward exchanged. He returned to his regiiment, which was transferred to tbt army of General Sherman, and marched with him through Georgia to the sea. In this campaign Mr. Bchiffeneder's old wound began to trouble him and he was sent to the hospital and then home. Ha bad also contracted catarrh of the stomach and found no relief for years. "I happened to read an account of Dr. William's Pink Pills for Pale People about a year ago," he said, "and thought tbat they might be good for my trouble. I concluded to try them. I bought one box and began to take them according to directions* They gave ma great relief. After finishing that box I bought another, and when I had taken the pills I felt that J was enred. I recovered my appetite and ate beartiTy. I can testify to the good the pills did me." Mr. Bchiffenedsr is a prominent Grand Army man in Chicago, whither ht moved some years ago with his family. Three hundreds Tears ago any man absent from church on Sunday was fined a shilling. What a war revenue that would produce to-day.

Shall, or Shall Not, Which? The committees that have done such heroic work for the past lew years in securing us some of the finest lectures and musicals to be had, have nearly concluded that they have done (for the honor) about their share, As we all know, it has been weeks of hard work to dispose of 300 tickets and that responsibility, everyone does not desire. We are a little fearful that our enjoyment of a lecture course the coming winter is rather doubtful. Our courses have been very successful and as we hear on all sides, "What will we do without the lectures this winter?'1 Of course if we have none this season the town will be crowded with cheap shows and theatricals, and will be patronized as our young people will attend something. Who will be the ones to push this matter; a few cannot do the whole work; don't let the lectures go down. Dr. H. P. Sigler and C. L. Grimes, with others, have put a great deal of tbeir time, and assumed the responsibility here-to-fore, and are willing to |-help if some others will help also. All those who have patronized the lectures before and wish to have them continue, can make it known to the present committee. H Express Wagons for the Children. Our Paint stock is the best in town.

[loblyan Troops to be Muttered Oat at Home — Death of Judge Thomas M. Cooley—Murder and Suicide at Wyandott «—Other State Matters. Death of Judge Judge Thomas M. Cooley died at his home in Ann Arbor. About three months ago he returned from a private sanitarium at Flint, and was so much improved in mental health that he was able to recognize acquaintances and friends, but he realized his weak phj'sioal condition and his failing mental abilities, and often expressed a wish that death would come. Several weeks ago he relapsed into a comatose condition. During all this interval he only roused once and asked, ''Where is Charley"? referring to his eldest son. Judge Cooley's failing mental vigor dates back from the time he was connected with the interstate commerce commission. It is said that every day lie was doing as much work as three strong men. The strain was too much and vigorous attacks came upon him. Be was compelled by ill-health to resign from the commission. Finally the attacks culminated in senile paresis, and a little over a year ago he was taken to the sanitarium in Flint. With Judge Cooley's death the country has probably lost its ablest expounder of international law—a man whose opinions on that subject have taken on in the minds of students something of the nature of law itself. As judge, writer and teacher he was almost equally famous. Disband at Home. "The war department has finally decided," said Adjt.-Gen. Cor bin, to a correspondent, *'that the Michigan regiments now on furlough will not be •compelled to return either to Detroit or Island Lake to be mustered out. >YhiJe we have not yet worked out the details of the plan for disbanding these regiments, we. appreciate the hardship it will be to the men to travel such distances, as are involved in the trip to the upper peninsula and back at their own expense, and arrangements are being perfected to muster out the Michigan men by battalions, If possible, and by companies if it .seems necessary to sub-divide the commands to that extent to save the men from unnecessary travel. As soon as ifinal arrangements have been perfected for mustering out troops, colonels of tue regiments will communicate the final rendezvous to the captain* who have been instructed to take the postoffice address of each man on furlough, and who will notify them where they are to be assembled for final mustering out." The 31st to Bemaia. Lagging people who have sons in Co. B, 31st, recently petitioned- the secretary of war to muster the regiment out, the war being over. A reply received from Private Secretary Mason jrives no idea that the request will be complied with, simply saying that the President has designated the 31st as one of the regiments which the exigencies of the service require shall be retained for the present at least in active service.

McKenzie. CHAPTER X. "You will br&ak the news to Miss Halcrow?" ^aid Elspeth gently. An hour had passed, and all that Elspeth and Evan, assisted by the terrified servants, could do for Magnua Halcrow had been done. He still lay unoonsoious, a ghastly cut, hastily bandaged in amateur . fashion by Evan, across his head;, but with what other injuries, lntc-raa.1 or external, they did not kaiow. The doctor who had been wired for had telegraphed that he waa on his way to Crag Castle; but he couVd not be there for an hour yet. "I cannot leave you alone," objected Monteith. "Do not mind me; I shall be all right," said Elspeth hastily. "I suppose"— she paused with a sudden shudder—" nothing can be done for her?" Monteith shook his head. There was a strange expression on his face. "Nothing," he said. "You must promise me o*n no account to go into the room, Miss Troil. It can do no good to the dead, and may harm you. Tou wiH premise?" - — "Yes," said Elspeth. Then suddenly a strange, inarticulate sound that was almost a cry broke" from her, and she covered her face. "It is too awful! —too horrible!" she cried, "going like that into God's presence—unprepared —unconfessed! And a few hours ago she waa flitting here, the incarnation of life and brightness, Oh, God, I cannot bear to think of It! God—God have mercy upon her!" "Amen," said Monteith hoarsely. He suddenly caught her hand. "Elspeth, whatever may be In your mind, whatever you suspect or fear, try to bury it out of sight and forget, as I shall. We shall keep our own dark doubts a secret forever from the whole world, shall we not?" "Forever," Elspeth whispered, and her lip suddenly quivered. "You are generous." "I must go now," said Monteith. And so they parted—Elspeth to return to her lonely watch, Monteith to hurry to Abbot's Head. The horror was still dark and h**vy upon him that he had felt as he drew from under her battered machine very gently the terribly mutilated figure of the woman wno had tried to his own death. There was no doubt in his mind as to that. It was she who had tampered with hie machine, counting on its going to pieces very probably at the unguarded portion of the cliff-path. She had mistaken Magnus Halcrow for him-^a natural mistake, for they resembled each other at a distance— and had made that last desperate attempt to rid herself of him, probably counting on his springing to the cliff side of the path, In ignorance of the broken barricade. How strangely, awfully, like the judgment of a just God it seemed! Monteith was soon at Abbot'e Head. As he strode up the garden-path Day emerged from the doorway and met him. Her face suddenly flashed white as she recognized him; then she bowed, and, after a moment's hesitation, offered her hand. "You have come to say good-by? I heard that you were leaving tomor* row." "I was," answered Monteith, slowly; "but it is not that that has brought me here now. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Miss Halcrow——" She Interrupted him a little breathlessly: "Something has happened—Magnus?" "You will be brave," said Monteith gently; "and, please God, it ra*y not be so bad as we fear." Then, briefly and as gently as possible, he told her all. She listened in silence, hor face growing paler and paler, until it was drained of every drop of blood. When he paused she said, in a voice out of which all the music had gone: "I may go to him?" "I have come for you," said Monteith. "The carriage is waiting below," "J shall go and get ready," caid Day, iu a low voice. She turned to re-enter the house, but as she did so, the whole earth seemed to heave beneath her feet, and she would have fallen had Monteith not ©aught her in his arms. For a moment he held her there, her white face resting against his breast; then Day fltruggled from his clasp. "Let me go, Mr. Monteith." "Day," exclaimed Evan hoarsely, "it almost profanation to speak of thingi now; but, my darling, my only true love, I cannot let you go without asking you to forgive me, and to say you will still trust me. Give me tho satisfaction of taking care of you in this terrible time, and of knowing you trust my care. Day, you once said you loved me." She looked at him strangely out of those sorrow-filled, eea-blue eyes of hers. "You say "Misr, Stuart Is dead, and you can say that to me now?" she said, almost in a whisper. "She is dead," he answered gravely. "Da/, I must not speak unkindly of the dead; but if you knew all the truth you could never for a moment have imagined I loved her. She was my bitterest enemy." For a moment Day was silent; then she turned to Monteith and laid her trembling little hand in his. "And Masmis is perhaps dying because he tried tt save her! Can I have been hard and unkind? I almost hated her. And now she is dead! God forgive me and grant her peace! Evan, take me to my brother. I seem to have no one now but you." He drew her-to hlm-for one second, and kissed her trembling lips. And so, in the midst of tragedy and sorrow "bitter Tike blood and dark as deed of death," deep trust and sweet hope came back to two human hearts. CHAPTER XI. Magnus did not die. He slowly came back to life and consciousness, nursed by the tender hands of the two women who loved him; and of these two the tenderest were Elspeth Troll's. Lilith Stuart had been laid to rest in the family vaults. Lady Westray was still at the castle, whither had gone the lawyers in whose hands were the affairs of the estate, and ElspetHh was with her. A fortnight later Magnus lay in his own rcom at Abbot's Head, and Day sat beside him. He was still pale, and the terrible cut across his forehead was very conspicuous, but to Day It seemed as if he had come back from the jaws of death. A ring at the outer door made the sweet color fly to Day's cheeks. Monteith had been away for five days, but she knew that this was him come back again.. —Day n*ev/ to the door, and iu a few minutes came back, not with Monteith only, but with Elspeth Troil as well. "I have brought your nurse to see you, Halcrcw," said Monteith as Magnus extended his uninjured hand. "And your nurse is more pleased with your progress than she can say," said Elspeth, bonding her grave, sweet voice and dark eyes over the couch. They sat together for a few minutes, then Monteith suddenly spoke: "I have a purpose in thus bringing you all together. It is that you might together hear my story, and the secret, of my connection with the poor dead girl whom we all knew. Miss Troil knows part of the story—not all. "Five years ago I was secretary to. Sir James \\Ystray, to whom I was also a distant connection. He lived then on his estate in Perthshire, aud during Parliament was up in London; for he was, as you know, Vice-Chancellor of the Exchequer. While there, his cousin, Mrs. Stuart, widow of a captain in the army, and her daughter came to visit him She was very poor; she was also—I must not mines matters—a scheming, designing woman. Sir James had no children. His property and fortune should go, in rip-lit of succession, to the orphan children of another cousin—a boy and girl, mere children. "It became I\!rs. Stuart's object to induce the old man to make a will leaving all to her own daughter. Lilith •wan thr>n seventeen, such as she was when you knew her—beautiful and fascinating. Her mother set her to work on the old man's vanity. Sir James had one foible, and that wns an inordinate love of self. How well she succeeded you ran yourselves Imagine. "I was three years older than Lilith, and at a susceptible age. She bewitched me. 1 did not love her—I could not profane that holy feeling by giving my own infatuation its name; but I seemed under a spell, and yielded to her in all things. She allowed me to think my feeling was reciprocated. "Suddenly Mrs. Stuart died. Then Sir James announced his intention of adopting Lilith. To all intents and purposes she was his own child. Yet Lilith herself knew her position was insecure as long as the Westray children lived. "Sir James was ailing for some time before he died, and Lilith was constantly with him during that time. She | urged him constantly, with all the per. auasive powers of which she was mistress; but for long he held out steadily against her. "One night—it was late at night— Lilith came to me. " 'He fcas done it!' she ezclalmmed triumphantly. 'He has made out the will at last! All that he haa will be mine. Come and sign it ae a witness, Evan.' "I feebly protested, saying that it was a sin to deprive the other children of their inheritance, but Lilith only scoffed. You will understand how far I had fallen by that mean infatuation when I tell you that I followed her and signed the paper aa a witness. "A few days after Star James died. There was no contested case. The children were too young to understand matters, and their guardians were easily silenced. "Lilith still encouraged me, and I visited the house, which was occupied by her and Lady Westray. It waa while doing so that, by a strange accident, I discovered the secret which legal eyes had not detected. "Sir James' signature to the will had been forged! "I shall not lengthen my story by going into the details of my discovery. Enough that I taxed Lilith with it, and she defied me to prove it. When she saw I was in earnest, she changed her tactics; threw herself on my mercy, knelt to me, besought me not to bring this awful disgrace upon her; then promised she would look after the Westray children and keep them in as great comfort as ever they could have had If the property had come to them. I was weak; I yielded. - "I- know my part was a base one; scorn and blame me for It as you will. I went abroad. By that time I had inherited a small income which left me independent I passed a year or two bear-shooting in the Rockies. Conscience pursued me. I saw Lilith in her true light, and all the false glamour that had surrounded her vanished. "I came here. You know—at least, Elspeth does—how Lilith tried to regain her old power over me. Whe» she saw it was useless, she defied me to do my worst. Well, let us cast no stone at the poor, silent dead." He paused. The faces of the three who had listened breathlessly to him were very pale. Magnua was the first to speak. He held out his hand. "Forgive me, Monteith. I have been unjust and suspicious; but your story is strange beyond fiction." Monteith grasped his hand. "You won't refuse me what I've come to ask from you, then, Halercw? You know what it is." He put his arm round Day, who was trembling and pale; but the action brought the rosy color rushing back to her cheeks. — "You are going to lake my Star of' Day from me, then? Well, I suppose it must have come sooner or later, and rather you than any other man, Monteith," said Magnus, his voice just a little unsteady. "God blees you, my little Day! Kiss me." "Magnus, I'm not going to leave you," cried Day soothingly. But she bent and kissed the scarred face, her tears running down upon it. Then, on a sudden impulse, she turned and kissed Elspeth Troil. "And now I wish to have this maiden just for a few minutes to myself," said Monteith, standing up and drawing Day's arm through his own. "Nurse, will you wait with your patient till we come back? After that I shall take you back to Crag Castle." Elspeth said nothing, but her lips grew tremulous. "You loved her once, and before me, Evan," Day whispered as they were strolling down the garden, with his arm round her and her head near his shoulder. "And she had such an influence over you—nore than I shall ever have!" "For evil," said Monteith thoughtfully. Then he bent and kissed the sweet mouth. "She was a 'baleful star,' Day, to lure me to base and unworthy ways from all good and noble ones; brtt you are the Day star that will, God willing, guide me through the shoals and quicksands of life until"— fie" paused and added reverently— "God Himself takes us both into His eternal day." (To be Continued.) A WOMAN'S HEROISM. From the R$gUUr~QautUt Rotkfoni, IU. Daring the dvil war nearly aa much heroism was shown by the women of our nation ai by the brave toldicxa. Many a woman, weeping for her de*/l ion, bound op the wounds of his suffering comrades, rejoicing in t L e i r renewed s t r e ngth, A even while ^ sorrowing for the one who w*s gone. At that time was laid the foundation for *» """ the world- On the Battlefield. famed organization known as the Woman's Relief Corps, whose aid to the soldier of today, fighting against the world for a living, la no less notable than the heroism of the early '60's. One of the most earnest members of the corps at Byron, 111., Is Mrs. James Houseweart, but illnws once put a stop to her active work. A year or so ago, wn«n she was nearing fifty years of age, the time when women must be moat careful of their strength, Mrs. Houseweaxt was taken seriously ilL The family physician told her that she had reched a critical period of her life, and mutt be very careful. His prescriptions and treatment did not benefit uer, and other treatment proved unavailing. At last Dr. William's Pink Pills for Pals People were brought to her notice, with indisputable evidence that they were helpful in cases such as hers, and with renewed .hope she tried the remedy. Last March she took the first box of the pills, which gave (much relief. She was determined to be cured, and kept on with the medicine, untile now eight boxes bave been consumed, and she feels like a new woman. . Mrs. Houseweart said: "I have taken only eight boxes, but 1 bave been improving since I took the first do«e. I do not believe I could have lived without the pills. They certaily have done me more good than any physician or any medicine I have ever tried" Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for £2.50, and may be bad of all druggtslKror directbjm Iff from Dr.Williams' Medicine Co., ochenectady, N. Y. A BOLD BANK ROBBERY famous Place of Money* tbe Sceue of the Strange Act* Between 1 and 2 o'clock on a recent Saturday afternoon a daring tiieft was committed in the banking department of the Bank of England, which is reserved for purely banking transactions, general or public banking business being done In other departments, says the London Times. Two "walkclerke," or messengers, were sent from Messrs. Coutts to the Bank of England with an order for £3,000. One of the clerks, it appears, remained outside in a cab, while his colleague proceeded to obtain the money, which was handed to htm acroos the counter in three canvas bags, each of which contained £1,000. The cle*rk seems to have had his attention diverted in some way, and he left the counter. His abEence, however, was quite momentary, but on his return one of the bags was missing. An alarm was at once raised and the police of Old Jewry station were immediately communicated with. It to eta ted that almost at the moment of the discovery of the theft a respectable- looking well-dressed man left the banking department, carrying a bag in his hand, and it is assumed that this was the stolen property. The thief, or thieves, however, succeeded in escaping. The robbery was a particularly audacious one, and it is believed that the culprit had "shadowed" Messrs. Coutts' messengers for some time in order to ascertain the; latter's movements before acting. Stokers Work la fl«althy. It Is a fact that the stokers on beard an ocean "liner," provided the men are steady in their habits, suffer scarcely at all from their arduous labors. A stoker works four hours at a stretch, and during that time the temperature of his surroundings varies from 120 to 1C0 degrees. One stoker usually has four furnace* to attend to, and while feeding one furnace a man. has to be extremely careful or his arm will be burnt by the furnace behind him. As a rule, a man is occupied for about three minutes- at each furnace, and directly he had finished he rushes to the air-pipe and awaits till his turn comes round again. It hat been found that the work is least injurious to the men who are regularly employed at It —Burlington Hawkeye, Distinguished Handles* Artlits. A Belgian artist, on? of WatteaiTs students—Caesar Ducornet—was handless, having been born without arm^, and with only rudimentary legs, and yet he carried off all tbe prizes at Lilre. "won golden medals in Paris, and had pictures in the Louvre. He used to hold the palette with one foot stump, and use the brush witfc the other. A slender scaffold was L-uilt in front of his easel, and on this h«e writhed and twisted, climbed and eiouched, leavln? traces of color wherever he passed, traversing the canvas with the swiftness of a fly upon the wall. Antwery had an artist who cop'ed the masterpieces of Rubens, ard yet had no hands. All his work "iVas done with his toes, and so well du' Tie paint that his pictures fetched a h'^her price for their artistic merit thai- those of any other artist in the city. .England's handlers painter.

Roof gardening Is an expensive luxury for amateurs. Some men's only bad habit 1* boast- Ing of their good habits. Once a hero, always a hero—especially to the hero himself. The man who admits he Is in the Wrong Is usually in the right. Whenever a man becomes wise he Is the first to discover his wisdom; A girl loves to be loved by a man that she knows some other girl loves. It's harder for a young man to question her pop than it is to pop the question. One way to keep on friendly terms with your neighbor is to keep oft his premises. Some machines have automatic attachments and some have sheriffs attachments. As to the fleets of Spain, we feel sure that so-called power will be able to prove an alibi. Some people are never satisfied until they find out something that makes them dissatisfied. Fitzhugh Lee is nereby reminded that peace hath her victories no less renowned than war. Hobson is too good a man to waste himself on the lecture platform, but he ought to speak a book. Miss Schley, peace commissioner, has passed the age of discretion, being more than forty years old. Persevering mediocrity is much more respectable, and unspeakably more useful, than talented Inconstancy. The "American hog" has become vastly popular in Cuba, even among the Spaniards, in the shape of bacon. To have a respect for ourselves guides our morals, and to have a def-. erence for others governs our manners. What are the aims which are at the same time duties? They are the perfectingof ourselves and the happiness of others. It's rough on the leading lady of a theatrical aggregation when she is cconpelled to step off the track to let the trains go by. The uprisings of the Carlists are so numerous and so futile that the miserable pretenders will presently be known as chronic upstarts. One thing is certain and that Is that our courts of justice are almost strangled to death with litigation, but la eplte of this condition of affairs original cases which are waiting to be tried for the first time are frequently set aside for weeks and months in order to give place to old cases which are being tried for the second time with perhaps the very same result Evidently it Is high time that radical steps were being taken to cure this evil In our system of trial by jury. It takes a very subtle casuist to establish the wrong of privateering and the right of capture by government in the same brief. The former may be the more flagrant evil, and we esfht to rejoice that it has practically been abolished, but after all it is only a question of degree, and the whole duty of nations will not have been accomplished in this matter until they take Hamlet's advice to the players and reform It altogether. If a war does not teach us something additional of the duties of humanity and endow us with fresh wisdom, than does it leave us pftpr indeed. According to a German technical journal, Dr. Von Welsbach, tbe inventor of the Incandescent gas lamp, has discovered an Improved filament (or electric lamps. This he appears to have found in a filament of osmium, one of the rare metals, which, besides being the densest of all metals, is the most refractory, being infusible at any except the highest attainable temperatures. Osmium is found native as an alloy in certain ores of platinum and lridlum. ft l i t hard, bluish-gray metal, with en atomic weight of 191.1, and the enormous specific gravity of 22.477, the heaviest substance known. So far as can be Interred from what has been published, the experiments of Dr. Ton Welsbach go quit* beyond tbe employof a naked ouninm filament, TALMAGE'S SERMON. "THE ART OP FRIENDSHIP" SUNDAY'S SUBJECT Tut, Frovcrb*, Chapter 18. Terse 84, M Follow!> MA Man That Hath FrUodi Man Show Hlaatelf JTrienUiy."—Timely Advice. About the sacred and divine art of making and keeping friends I speak— a subject on which I never heard of anyone preaching—and yet God thought it of enough importance to put It in the middle of the Bible, these writings of Solomon, bounded on one side by the popular Psalms of David, and on the other by the writings of Isaiah, the greatest of the prophets. It seems all a matter of haph»x»** how many friends we have, or whetser we have any friends at all, but there is nothing accidental about it. There is a law which governs the accretion and dispersion of friendships. They did not "just happen so" any more than the tides just happen to rise or fall, or the sun just happens to rise or set It is a science, an art, a Godgiven regulation. Tell me how friendly you are to others, and I will tell you how friendly other* are to you. I do not say you will not have enemies; Indeed, the best way to get ardent frlenda is to have ardent enemies, if you get tlMr enmity in doing the right thing. Good men and women will always have enemies, because their goodness is a perpetual rebuke to evil; but this antagonism of foes will make more Intense the love of your adherents. Your friends will gather closer around you because of the attacks of your assailants. The more your enemies abuse you the better your coadjutors will think of you. The best friends we have ever had appeared at some juncture when we were especially bombarded. There have been timeB in my life when unjust assault multiplied my friends, AS near as I could calculate, about fifty a minute. You are bound to some people by many cords that neither time nor eternity can break, and I will warrant that many of those cords were twisted by hands malevolent. Human nature was shipwrecked about flftynlne centuries ago, the captain of that craft, one Adam, and his first mate running the famous cargo aground on a snag In the river Hlddekel; but there was at least one good trait of human nature that waded safely ashore from that shipwreck, and that is the disposition to take the part of those unfairly dealt with. When it is thoroughly demonstrated that some one is being persecuted, although at the start slanderous tongues were busy enough, defenders finally gather around as thick as honey bees on a trellis of bruised honeysuckle. • • • Before you begin to show yourself friendly you must be friendly. Get your heart right with God and man, and this grace will become easy. You may by your own resolution get your nature into a semblance of this virtue. but the grace of God can sublimely lift you into i t Sailing on the rivec Thames two vessels ran aground. The owners of one got one hundred horses, and pulled on the grounded ship, and pulled it to pieces. The owners of th<s other grounded vessel waited till the tides came in, and easily floated the ship out of all trouble. So we may pull and hau-l at our grounded human nature, and try to get into better condition, but there is nothing like the oceanic tides of God's uplifting grace. If, when under the flash of the Holy Ghost we see our own foibles and defects and depravities, we will be very lenient and very easy with others. W« will look into their characters for things commendatory, and not damnatory. If you would rub your own eye a little more vigorously you would find a mote in it, the extraction of which would keep you so busy you would not have much time to shoulder your broadaxe and go forth to split up the beam in your neighbor's eye. In a Christian spirit keep on exploring the characters of those you meet, and I am sure you will find something in them fit for a foundation of friendliness. You invite me to come to your country- seat and spend a few days. Thanlc you! I arrive about noon of a beautiful summer day. What do you do? As soon as I arrive you take me out under the shadow of tbe great elms. You take me down to the artificial lake, the •potted trout floating in and out among tbe white pillars of the pond-lilies. Ton take me to the stalls and kennels where you keep your fine stock, and here are the Durham cattle and the Gordon setters; and the high-stepping steeds, by pawing and neighing, the only language they can speak, asking tor harness or saddle, and a short turn down the road. Then we go back to the house, and you get me in thfc right light, and show me the Kensetts and the Blerstadts on the wall, and take me into the music-room and show me the bird-cages, the canaries in the bay window answering the robins in tbe tree-tops! Thank you! I never en* Joyed mjnelf more in the same length If tt»* Now. why do we not do so with the characters of others, and show the bloom and the music and the bright fountains? No. We say, "Come along, and let me show you that man's character. Here is a green-scummed frogpond, and there's a filthy cellar, and X guess under that hedge there must be a 'black snake. Come and let us for an hour or two regale ourselves with the nuisances." Oh, my frlenda, better cover up the faults and extol the virtues, and this habit oace established of universal friendliness will become as easy as It Is for a syringa to flood the air with sweetness, as easy as it will be further on in the season for a quail to whittle up from the gras. When we hear something bad about somebody whom we always supposed to be good, take out your lead pencil and say, "Let me see! Before I accept that baleful story against that man's character I will takeoff from it twenty-five per cent for the habit of exaggeration which belongs to the man who first told the story; then I will take off twenty-five per cent for the additions which the spirit of gossip in every community has put upon the original story; then I will take off twenty-five per cent from the fact that the man may have been put into circumstances of overpowering temptation. So I have taken off seventy- five per cent. But I have not heard his side of the story at all, and for that reason I take off the remaining twenty-five per cent. Excus« me, sir, I don't believe a word of it" « • • Now, supposing that you have, by a Divine regeneration, got right toward God and humanity, and you start out to practice my text. "A man th*t hath frienda must show himself friendly." Fulfil this by all forma of appropriate salutation. Have you noticed that the head is so poised that the easiest thing on earth is to give a nod of recognition? To swing the head from side to side, as when it is wagged in derision, is unnatural and unpleasant; to throw it back, Invites vertigo; but to drop the chin in greeting is accompanied with so little exertion that all day long, and every day, you might practice it without the least semblance of fatigue. So, also, the structure of the hand indicates hand-shaking; the knuckles not made so that the fingers can turn out, but so made that the fingers can turn in, as in clasping hands, and the thumb divided from and set aloof from the fingers, so that while the fingers take your neighbor's hand on one side, the thumb takes it on the other and, pressed together, all the faculties of the hand give emphasis to the salutation. Five sermons in every healthy hand urge us to hand-shaking. Beside* this, every day when you start out load yourself up with kind thoughts, kind words, kind expressions and kind greetings. When a man or woman does well, tell him so, tell her so. If you meet some one who Is improved in health, d It is d strated in girth and color, eay: "How well you look!" But if, on the other hand, under the wear and tear of life be appears pale and exhausted, do not introduce sanitary subjects, or say anything at all about physical condition. In the case of improved health, you have by your words given another lmpulso towards the robust and tbe jocund, while in tbe case of the failing health you have arrested the decline by your silence, by which he concludes: "If I were really eo badly off he would have said something about it." We are all, especially those of a nervous temperament, susceptible to kind words and discouraging words. Form a conspiracy against us, and let ten men meet us at certain points on our way over to business, and let each one say, "How sick you look!" though we should start out well, after meeting the first and hearing his depressing salute, we would begin to examine our Bymptoms. After meeting the second gloomy accosting, we would conclude we did not feel quite as well as usual. After meeting the third our sensations would be dreadful, and after meeting the fourth, unless we suspected a conspiracy, we would go home and go to bed, and tbe other six pessimists would be a useless surplus of discouragement. • • • • We want something like that epirit of sacrifice for others which waa seen in the English channel, where in the storm a boat containing three men was upset and all three ^vere in the water struggling for their lives. A boat came to their relief and a rope was thrown to on© of them and he refused to take it, saying: "First fling it to Tom; . he is just ready to go downi I can last some time longer." A man like that, be he sailor or landsman, be he In upper ranks of society or lower ranks, will always have plenty of friends. What is true manward i s true Godward. We must be the friends of God if we want him to be our friend. We cannot treat Christ badly all our lives and expect him to treat us lovingly. I wae reading of a sea fight in which Lord Nelson captured a French officer, and when the French officer offered Lord Nelson his hand, Nelson replied, "First give me your sword and then give me your hand." Surrender of our resistance to God must precede God's proffer of pardon to us. Repentanot before forgiveness. You must give up your rebelUoas sword before you can get a grasp of the divine hand. Oh, what a glorious state of thing* to have the friendship oX God! Why, we could afford to have all the world against us and all other worlds against us if we had God for us. He could lq a minute blot out this universe, and in another minute make a better universe. I have no idea that God tried hard when he made all things. The most brilliant thing known to us is light, and for the creation of that he only Used a word of command. As out of a flint a frontiersman strikes a spark, so out of one word God struck the noonday sun. For the making of tbe present universe I do not read that God lifted so much as a finger. The Bible frequently speaks of God's hand and God's arm and God's shoulder and God's foot; then suppose be should put hand and arm and shoulder aad foot to utmost tension, what could he not make? That God of such demonstrated and undemonstrated strength, you may have for your present and everlasting friend, not a stately and reticent friend, hard to get at, but as approachable as a country mansion on a summer day, when all the doors and windows are wide open. Christ said, "I am the door." And he Is a wide door, a high door, a palace door, an always open door. • • • My four-year-old child got hurt and did not cry until hours after, when her mother came home, and then she burst into weeping, and some of the domestics, not understanding human nature, said to her, "Why did you not cry before?" She answered: "There was no one to cry to." Now, I have to tell you that while human sympathy may be absent, Divine sympapthy is always acoessible. Give God your love, and get his love; your service, and secure his help; your repentance, and have his pardon. God a friend? Why, that means all your wounds medicated, all your sorrows soothed, and if some sudden catastrophe should hurl you out of earth it would only hurl you into heaven. If God is your friend, you cannot go out of the world too quickly or suddenly, so far as your own happiness is concerned. There were two Christians who entered heaven; the one was standing at a window in perfect health, watching a shower, and the lightning instantly slew him; but the lightning did not flash down the sky as swiftly as his spirit flashed upward. The Christian man who died on the same day next door had been for a year or two failing in health, and for the last three months had suffered from a disease that had made the nights sleepless and the days an anguish.' Do you not really think that the case of the one who went, instantly was more desirable than the one who entered the shining gate through a long lane of insomnia and congestion? In the one case it was like your standing wearily at a door, knocking and waiting, and wondering if it will ever open, and knocking and waiting again, while in the other case it was a swinging open of the door at the first touch of yot%? knuckle. Give your friendship to God, and have God's friendship for you, and even the worst accident will be a victory. How refreshing a human friendship; and true friends, what priceless treasures! When sickness comes, and trouble comes, and death comes, we send for our friends first of all, and their appearance in our doorway in any crisis is reinforcement, and when they have entered, we say: "Now it ia all right!" Oh, what would we do without personal friends, business friends, family friends? But we want something mightier than human friendship in the great exigencies. When Jonathan Edwards, in his final hour, had given the last good-bye to all his earthly friends, he turned on his pillow and closed bis eyes, confidently saying: "Now where is Jesus of Nazareth, my true and never-falling Friend?" Yes, 1 admire human friendship as seen in the case of David and Jonathan, of Paul and Onesiphorus, of Herder and Goethe, of Goldsmith and Reynolds, of Beaumont and Fletcher, of Cowley and Harvey, of Erasmus and Thomas More, of Lessing and Mendelssohn, of Lady Churchill and Princess Anne, of Orestes and Pylades, each requesting that himself might take the point of tfie dagger, so the other might be spared; Gt Epaminondas and Pelopidas, who locked their shields in battle, determined to- die together; but the grandest, the mightiest, the tenderest friendship in all the universe is the friendship between Jesus Christ and a believing soul. Yet, after all I have said, I feel I have only done what James Marshall, the miner, did ia 1S48 in California, before its gold mines were known. He reached in and put. upon the table of his employer, Captain Suiter, a thimbleful of gold dust "Where did you get that?" said his employer. The reply was: "I got it this morning from a mill race from which the water had been drawn off." But that gold dust, which could have been taken up between the finger and the thumb, was the prophecy and specimen that revealed California's wealth to all nations. And today I have only put before you a specimen of the value of divine friendship, only a thimbleful of n i s e i Inexhaustible and infinite, though all time and all eternity go oa with tae exploration.

IaIa d• MDSoBtbran I gent or yoitowms. Vhet Atsweritg Jlffverttsemeiti Nettiot This fapec. of th» Aferla*. The following is a portion of an address delivered by John S. Beecher. president of the Standard American Merino Association, at Its last meeting: The great influx or the foreign mutton breeds was the natural result of a disposition upon the part of our sheep men to take up something new and untried as a cure for the evils of a mistaken national economic policy. The lessons of experience that came to the ones exploiting the policy will scarcely need repeating during this generation, and the men who sacrificed their merino flocks will want some of, the blood again, and that from now on. Portunate the man who has the material with which to recoup his fortunes, and thrice fortunate the man who stayed to the front through the thickest of the breed's struggle and maintained the number and Improved the quality. Merino Mutton.—The facts demonstrated by the experience of the last few years Is that well-fatted Merino mutton is as good eating as the best of the so-called mutton breeds; second, that a Merino ewe, taken the year round, keep and care considered, is the most satisfactory of all sheep mothers. She will yield the heaviest and most valuable fleece of wool, and when bred to a Southdown ram, will produce an up-to-date mutton lamb satisfactory alike to both feeder and butcher. What type of Merino will meet future demands? We are living in a wonderful age, a period of marvelous development, invention and discovery, and never before was competition so sharp and perslstnnt, making necessary strict economy and best methods if success is to be attained in any business or calling, and the breeding of domestic animals is no exception. In ^ihis field the expense of care and keepi on the one hand, and the capabilities of the animal or race on the other, are elements for consideration and turn the scale for good or otherwise. CarelesB and slipshod methods in growing and feeding crops to inferior and scrub stock have passed Into history, more especially the scrub animal. Every industry must supply a need of mankind somewhere. All through the vast sheep walks of Argentina, Australia and the Transvaal are numerous bands of almost countless numbers of aheep, substantially Merino blood, kept with wool production the paramount object in view, and necessarily from the very order of things inferior in type to the Improved flocks, limited in numbers, in the hands of the world's great breeders. With the upward movement of wool in the American markets, these same conditions will prevail again in the vast plains of our country, west and southwest. To furnish the material for the improvement of the fleece qualities of these sheep will, in the future, as in the past, be the mission of the stud flocks of American Merinos. Lamb Crop Abort. It tg set forth in a bulletin on the sheep industry of the country, recently Issued by the National Live Stock association, that while the industry, as a whole, was never in a more prosperous condition, the lamb crop does not show as large a percentage as oaual, due mainly to the universal cold rains during the lambing season. All sections report forage to be the finest in ten years, and the lambs are larger and fatter than usual at this time of the year (the only exception being in one or two limited sections along the Pacific coast, where drouth has prevailed. According to information received direct from owners. It appears that less sheep will be marketed this year than last. The high price of western wool, 14 to 18 cents per pound, and the fancy prices paid for western alfalfa-fed lambs on the eastern markets, make it much more profitable for breeders to grow wool and lambs than mutton. It is too early yet to correctly estimate the wool crop, but it is believed that an increase of 10 per cent is a conservative figure. Varied Rations.—With an abundance of good, well kept pastures, plenty of clover hay, corn, oats and peas, the Jersey dairy farmer is approximately independent of the markets for dairy foods. If prices are satisfactory, it will be wise economy to increase the variety in his rations by the addition of bran, cotton-seed meal, linseed meal and gluten feed or meal. But the prices must be right or they may cost more than they come to.—N. B. Franklin. Stave Silos.—A correspondent of the "Jersey Bulletin" speaks a good word for silos for the stave variety, with no special foundation prepared. He says "they only sit on a level place, and in finishing feeding from them we have found less waste than is found in a cement bottom. Our silos have kept •ilage In a perfect condition right up to the walls—not a forkful of waste since leaving the top." "Call a man a sad doc,'* said the CoAfed Philosopher, "and he will look knowing and feel flattered, but if yon call him a miserable pup he'll wast to tight."—Indianapolis Journal.

The Manila correspondent of the London Times says: "Fully 15,000 in-, surgent troops have evacuated the sub-: urba of Manila. The Americans' gave; a parade and granted full military; honors. Perfect harmony prevailed: and the natives were evidently delighted at the opportunity for a public display of the efficiency of their troops in drill. The firmness and tact of Qen. Otis have produced an excellent result. The governor of Iloilo is facilitating commerce according to his agreement and trade with the southern ports is increasing daily." Goes to Manila. Ex-State Senator S. S. Steel of Pittaburg, Pa., left for Manila, where he will receive, supervise the counting and carry back to Harrisburg the votes of that band of Pennsylvania heroes who arejnarching in advance of the American flag on the other side of the globe. He expects to hold the election on Nov. 8, when the election will be held in Pennsylvania. The election will be held under the laws of the state, and the effort will be made to have every vote counted as the soldier voter intended casting it. Gomes Disgusted. An uncontradlcted report has been received by Gen. Law ton that Gen. Gomez has tendered his resignation of the command of the Cuban army to the Cuban government and that it has been accepted. Gomez, it appears, has been protesting against the Cuban government yielding the control of affairs to the Americans and the explanation for resigning- was his disapproval of ^passive submiisaion to conditions tending to the practical discrediting and retirement of the Cuban republic, as such, and the establishing of the absolute dominion of the United States." Shot at Queen WUhelmina. A report from Berlin says that a fortnight ago an attempt was made to assassinate Queen Wilhelmina near Amersfort, province of Utrecht, on the road between Castle Soostdyt and Baara. * The bullet missed the queen but plowed shrough the cheek of an attandant. The would-be assassin was arrested. Affairs ID the Island of Crete. The foreign admirals have sent an identical telegram to their respective governments requesting the immediate expulsion from Crete of the 15,000 Bashi-Bazouks in the island, the recall of Turkish troops and authorities and the appointment of a governor-general as desired by the Cretans. The United States Firm. The United States, it is announced. lias replied to~ a recent note of the Turkish government, declining taao* cept Turkey's repudiation of the responsibility for American losses during the Armenian troubles. Bound for Home. The City of Rome, with Admiral Cervera and staff, and over 1,700 Spanish prisoners, sailed for Santander, Spain. Of the number, 1,668 men were from the prisons at Seavey's island. Attempt to PoUon the King:. Reports from Seoul, Korea, say the king and crown prince were suddenly taken ill after eating, presumably from effects of poison. Both are recovering. Eleven courtiers are under arrest. They Will Resign. It is asserted that if the French cabinet insists upon a revision of the Dreyfus case, Gen. Zurlinden, minister of war, and M. Lockroy, minister of marine, will resign. Swept by a Typhoon.

I can not thank you«nough for your advice and your wonderful medicine. Any one doubting my statement may write to me and I will gladly answer all inquiries.—Mrs. NELL HUBST, Deepwater, Mo.

James Berry of Lake City, bad been found dead in bed at the home of Mrs. 0. W. Haze, where she was a guest. Airs. Berry had been- an invalid many years and was in the last stages of that fatal disease—diabetes—and was the cause of her death. She always bore her sufferings with true Christian fortitude, inspiring all who knew her to seek the loving God, whose likenes was reflected in her own beautiful, daily life.

The 32d Michigan volunteers arrived at Island Lake after an unusually pleasant journey for a military train. The trip from Huntsville, Ala., was one grand ovation all along1 the line. At every little hamlet great crowds gathered tit the depot to greet the boys, and the farther north the regiment proceeded, the greater became the audiences to welcome them. Through Indiana and Ohio, at every depot where the trajn stopped, the cars were surrounded by women, with flags and every kind of delicacy to feed the boys. The train was made of four sections as follows: First section—Cos. K, Detroit, 81 men, three officers; M, Detroit, 69 men, three officers; I, Detroit, 89 men, three officers; Col. MeGurrin in charge. Second section — Cos. L, Detroit, 82 men, three officers; F, Grand Haven, 81 men, two officers; D, Battle Creek, 81 men, two officers; Maj. Reynolds in command. Third section— Cos. C, Kalamazoo, 82 men, two officers; A, Coldwater, 7S men, two officers; G, Grand Rapids, 82 men, three officers; under Maj. Abbey. Fourth section—uos. It, Grand Rapids, 83 men, three officers; B, Grand Rapids, 88 men,' one officer; E, Grand Rapids, 78 men, three officers; under Lieut.-Col. Vos. The total number of men brought north was 1,039, while the original roster of the regiment, as it left Island Lake, four months ago, contained 1,328 names. A detail of two officers and 18 fnen was left as a guard over the division hospital at Fernandina. Of the remaining 209 men, some have died, many are away on furloughs, some are still in the hospitals. The sick on the sections were sent in the hospital cars to Detroit and from there to their respective homes, Attempt to Murder Prison Guards. 1 As the Marquette state prison guards "were watching the prisoners at breakfast, Convict Dick Huntley arose from •4iis seat, ran the length of the hall and •lunged at Guard E. D. Mosher with a tfcnife. Mosher clinched with Huntley, but the latter succeeded in stabbing <the deputy in the abdomen, back and •arm. The alarm was immediately •sounded,"and the entire prl&uu foice was soon in the mess room. The warden gave a command to the prisoners to march to their cell corridors. They obeyed sullenly, and when the order was given to get inside the cells, six or eight refused to move. Warden Freeman ordered the nearest guard to shoot. Huntley jumped for his cell door, but the bullet took off his thumb. The rest were cowed. . Huntley is incorrigible and was transferred from Jackson prison. He is serving 30 years, 10 of which is for the attempted murder of Deputy Northrop, of Jackson prison. Mosher, Who was then guard at Jackson, shot aim. It is believed this latest outbreak was part of a plot which included the murder of Warden Freeman. Bfaynard and Gardner Disagree. Secretary of State Gardner says he does not agree with Attorney-General Maynard regarding the continuance in office of the U. of M. regents appointed by Gov. Pingree to fill vacancies. The attorney-general recently gave an opinion that the appoint men t of Geo. A. Farr and H. S. Dean to vacant regencies was not for unexpired term, and that notices of election should be ffiven by the secretary of state for election to fill the places at the next general election. Secretary Gardner asserts that Messrs. Farr and Dean should remain in the positions and finish the unexpired terms.

Pingree is on top again. Surgeon- General Sternberg has been forced to admit that the policy of abolishing regimental hospitals in favor of division hospitals has proved unsatisfactory. This has been a hobby of the governor's from the outset, and the opinion is gaining that the governor is right and Gen.

Mrs. Solomon Shoemaker was assaulted on the public streets at Benton Harbor and because she fought for her honor her alleged assailant, a colored man named John Williams, fired three 38 caliber cartridges in her faee and one at her side, but the last ball struck a corset steel and glanced to the ground.

Odd Fellowa at Boaton. Preliminary to the opening of the sovereign grand lodge of Odd Fellows of the United States, at Boston, Rev. Edward Everett Hale preached an interesting ami eloquent s,ermon on "The Universal Brotherhood of Man." The delegates of the sovereign grand lodge 1. O. (). F. and the Daughters of Kebekah were warmly welcomed by Mayor Quiucy and other prominent Bostonians. At the first session of the grand lodge the reports showed: Grand lodges, ,r)5; subordinate lodges, 11,221); Kebeka lodges, 4,1)40; grand encampments, f)l; subordinate encampments, 2,U:J3; subordinate lodge members, 814,- 33'J; encampment members, 127,091; Kebekah members, 207,01)1; total relief, §3.304,02'); total revenue, 88.940,250; total invested funds, 820,388,ii»5.

Frank Grant, of Baltimore; grand treasurer, Richard Muckle. of Philadelphia. The sovereign grand lodge voted unanimously to meet in Detroit in 1899. _Tyrp Mure Uattlenhlp.s for Dewey. The navy department is rushing preparations for the start of the big battleships Oregon and Iowa to Honolulu, and theuce to Manila. Battleship of this character are not needed to keep the Filipino insurgents in order and their assembling at Manila in conjunction with the dispatch of heavy reinforcements of troops for the American land forces cannot but be regarded as signfica'ht. The President, it is well understood, objects to Spain disposing of any of the Philippine islands without our consent and as it is reported that Germany has jealous eyes upon the important island of Palawan it is believed that this increase of Uncle Sam's forces in eastern waters is to prevent Spain turning over any of her possessions to any foreign power by secret pact or otherwise. Winter Camp* In the South. All the troops now stationed in the northern camps are to be moved south as rapidly as possible. Within a short time the last troops remaining at Camp Wikoff will have departed, and those at Camp Meade will be moved south TERRfBLE CATASTROPHE. Eight Men Killed.

Not Dend, but Out of l'ower. Pekin: An imperial edict just issued definitely announces that the emperor of China has resigned his power to the empress (dowager empress), who has ordered the ministers to deliver to her in future their official reports. The Sultan llowi Before British Wrath. The sultan has ordered Djevad Pasha, the Turkish military commander in the island of Crete, to accede to the demand of the British admiral for disarmament of the Turks thus complying with the whole ultimatum of the admiral soon after. The latter will probably go to Huntsville, Ala. The troops at Knoxville, where the 31st Michigan regiment is now located, will probably remain at that camp until the assignments are made for the militany occupation of Cuba. It is not the intention, however, to send the army of occupation to Cuba until the unhealthy season has passed, and meanwhile the troops will be put in the best possible condition. •= TEL E C R A P HtC-BI-TSr^ The queen regent of Spain will have have a representative at the czar's proposed disarmament conference. Gen. Shafter will be placed in command of either the department of the lakes or the department of California. Sagasta has urged upon the Spanish peace commissioners to strenuously defend the retention of the Philippine islands by Spain. British protests have caused the Chinese government to finally conclude the New Chwang railway loan with a British syndicate. Gen. Lawton reports to the war department that all but eight of the Spanish prisoners have been shipped from Santiago to Spain. Gen. Zurlinden, who resigned from the French cabinet because of the Dreyfus agitation, has been appointed military governor of Paris. Sickness among the troops of Gen. Lawton'H command at Santiago is increasing. Nearly one-sixth of his force j a r^w r>n ^Vie sick list, although the The French Republic Endangered. All reports from Paris agree that the Dreyfus case has has now brought France to the eve of a crisis, perhaps the most formidable in the history of the third republic, th'reateniug not merely the existence of the cabinet but the stability of the constitution. President Faure is known to be utterly opposed to a revision of the case; but the premier, M. Brisson, and a majority of the cabinet, have decided in favor of reopening the matter. Popular feeling is divided, and the army is against a revision. There is grave danger of a serious breach before the famous case is finally settled. Aguinaldo to Our Friend. Aguinaldo, the Filipinos leader, has issued a communication in which he says: "Rumors circulated regarding the strained relations between the Filipino and American forces are base, malicious slanders of the enemy to both parties, are without any truth, and are circulated for the purpose of prejudicing the appeal of the Filipinos for their release from the oppression and cruelty of Spain. The relations of our people and yours have been, and will continue to be, of the most friendly nature." The ETacvtlon of Cuba. According to information furnished by the Spanish evacuation commission at Havana the number of Spanish soldiers in Cuba aggregates 100,000, and it is understood that it is proposed that the men shall carry with them their arms, ammunition, material and equipments. It is estimated that the end of February will have come before the evacuation of the island is completed, as the soldiers must embark in Spanish vessels. 1— Killed by the JBarttadoet Hurricane. Reports of the damage wrought in the Barbadoes, B. W. I., show that 160 people were killed; 50,000 persons were made homeless, and the full damage is estimated at more than 81,000,000. number of deaths is not great. Chevalier M. Proskowitz, acting chief consul of Austria-Hungary at Chicago, fell under a train at Ft. Wayne, Ind., while enroute to New York and was ground to pieces. Secretary Long issued an important order reorganizing the north Atlantic squadron. The fleet is reduced from a force of about 100 vessels to 31, the remainder being detached, ready for disposition in the future. Senator C. J. Faulkner, of West Virginia, has been appointed to the position on the Canadian commission made vacant bv the retirement of Senator Gray when he was transferred to the Paris peace commission. It is not expected that the troops will be ordered to Cuba before the first or the middle of October, when the details of the evacuation will have taken some shape and the dangers from fever will have become less menacing. Gen. Chanoine, the newly appointed war minister of France, says that he will not be bound by any action of the cabinet council previous to his appointment and should he see any attempt, under the pretext of revision of the Dre3Tf us proceedings, to engace in maneuvers against the army he would immediately resign. Gen. Miles is working on the plans for reorganizing the army. He says that Cuba will be garrisoned with about 12,000 regulars and 28,000 volunteers; the Philippines with 3,000 regulars and 22,000 volunteers; Porto Rico 4,000 regulars and 10,000 volunteers; Honolulu 1,000 regulars and 3,000 volunteers. The refusal of the Spanish authorities to allow supplies sent from the United States for the starving Cubans to enter free of duty may result in serious trouble. . The Cuban soldiers have laid down their arms, but as they and the peaceable Cubans can secure no food and are rapidly starving they are on the verge of rioting for bread. The mystery which surrounds the finding of the horribly mutilated body of a young woman in a mill pond at Bridgeport, Conn., remains impenetrable, notwithstanding the fact that the body h*4 been positively identified as that of Grace Perkins, of Middleboro, by her father, and the suspicion of his committing a horrible murder had been fastened upon Charles Bourne, Miss Perkin*s lover, who was missic;/. Bourne and Miss Perkins have returned to Middleboro after a little pleasure trip together. 1 X ' • T l Che Dap Star of m Orkncp's. A Romance—By Hannah B. McKenzie. CHAPTER XII. Two months later, on a stopniy da*y in Jate October, Magnus Halcrow aad Elspeth Troil are standing together within Eigiht of the Rowan Crag. It Is probably tho last tim» they shall do so, for Elspeth leaves Orkney with Lady West ray tomorrow. The Westray children have been proved tlie heirs of her late husband's property, and Crag Castle will be shut up and uninhabited during their minority. The horfor of that terrible day comes back again to Elspeth, and she shudders involuntarily. Tihen Magnus Bays slowly": "You shiver, Miss Troll. Forgive me for alluding to that terrible time, but I must do so just this once. I have no wish to speak against the deRd, but I wish to disabuse your mind of the idea that I loved Lilith Stuart She fascinated, enthralled me, as she had done other men before—th&t was all. Wtoon I saw her as she wiw—her be*utiful exterior merely a covering for a warped and self-engrosaed BOIII—my heart turned from her with repulsion." "Hush!" says Elspeth gently. "Remember she is dead. We must deal kindly with her now. She is in God's hands." Magnus took the womanly little hand and held it for a minute. He does not tell her—he does not think she knows —what he himself la sure of—that Lilith Stuart had met her death In trying to compass that of another. "Tell me the truth. Elspeth," he says suddenly. He has not called her Elspeth for years, and the girl's face becomes suddenly flooded with crimson. "Do you think I loved her?" "I thought," answered Elspeth slowly, tracing lines with an umbrella on the damp path, "that you were very near doing so, Eh*. Halcrow." 9 "And it I <?hould tell you now," eaid Dr. Halcrow, very calmly, though some strange emotiou throbs beneath the outward calm, "that I have learned lately what I have never realised before— that it is some on» els« who had the innermost place in my hMxt during that foolish euthraiment—what would you say, Elspeth? And if I asked you not to go away toraorrqw^jH1, if you do, to come back soon to thT d€ar~otd~ island, and to a heart aad home waiting for you, what would you say, Elspeth?" The hand in his giv^s one Quick, sharp quiver. He can feel its putee bounding Wildly. "Why do you ask these questions, Dr. Halcrow? Is it out of pity?" "Pity?" he repeats. "Nay, Elspeth; pity would never make me ask & woman to be my wife. It is because I love you, dear, with all my heart. How could I help it—I, who have known you so well, so closely, eo Intimately these last months—who hare seen your quiet brave heroism, your womanly gentleness, your self-sacrifice, your sweet charity and forgiveness? It was you who showed me what love really means. You will come, you will love me, dear, will you not?" He holds out his arme, and without a word Elspeth goes into them. She has obtained the happiness she had never dared dream would be her*. And so that spot, which had-become the scene of the darkest tragedy in the lives of both, becomes also to both the dearest spot on earth. [THE END.] Di\ Falconer's Temptation, A SHORT STORY. It occurred in the most unromaiuic way, and amid the most prosaic surroundings. There is probably no position in the world more fatal to romance, or more likely to crush all superfluous sentiment out of a man's nature, than that of a parish doctor. The scenes of squalid misery he is compelled every day to wit nets are more likely to blunt and exhaust the sense of pity In the average man than to develop it by exercise, especially when a little experience has shown how closely they are associated with vice 4Ud deceit, and how certain is the man wl>o gives way to his first impulsive Instinct of charity to awake sooner or later to the knowledge that he has been cheated and laughed at ten times V tffsjolous rogues for onoe that at has been of any real help to the unfortunate. And he is apt to become cynical in consequence. Richard Falconer had started in life with more rather than less of the usual romance and unpractical sentiment of youth. The last thing he had thought of had been the hard realities of life. And, as a natural consequence those hard realities were now asserting themselves arid forcing themselves upon his attention more and more every day in the hard struggle to establish himself in practice on the slender baaiB of a parish appointment in a big provincial town where he was as yet little known and had a host of wealth ier competitors. It was so different from the career his glowing anticipations had pictured in the happy old college days. He had left the university with a good degree, and his chances of ultimate success were most highly estimated by those professional friends who knew him best; but he had himself almost lost heart. He looked every day with sinking spirits and lengthening face on his young wife and son—now a rapidly growing -boy with -a portentous appetite,-whomhe must soon begin to think of placing at school—and his heart sank' lower still one morning when the only visitor to his surgery was a ragged messenger, who produced from his pocket a dirty and much-folded slip of paper, which, on being smoothed out, proved to be only the usual parish order to visit a pauper patient in the poorest quarter of the town. It looked just like any other such as he was in the daily habit of receiving, and he glanced at it almost rcecJwLnically as he answered: " 'Peter Ingram, 3 Paradise Row—urgent.' Very well, I shall be there in al?out ha'f an hour." It .was not a promising duty, but It was at least better than to sit eating his own heart in the bitterness of enforced idleness, as he had too often been compelled to do of late; so, waiting only to put his stethoscope and thermometer in his pocket, he seized his umbrella and started. The streets through which he passed to his destination, each darker and dirtier and more thickly studded with public houses -th.an_jJie_JLastJ_seemed to his morbid fancy to symbolize his own pdsTTtcJir and prospects. In one of the darkest and dirtiest of all he stopped before a house even in such a neighborhood was conspicuous for its neglected appearance. The paint had long ago peeled in great patches off the door, and more than half the panes of glass were broken in the window, while the remaining ones were perfectly opaque with dust and cobwebs. Nine cut of ten persons would have passed the house as uninhabiied, but Dr. Falconer knew better. Finding his knock unanswered, he tried the latch, but the door was locked. Again he rapped sharply, this time with the handle of his umbrella, and after a second repetition a key grated in the lock, the door opened three inches, and a glittering eye, under a red bushy eyebrow, sharply scrutinized him from behind it. Then it closed again; he heard a chain unfasten, the door was opened just wide enough to adnjit him, and closed, locked, and chained behind him the moment he had entered. "Are you afraid of thieves, my friend?" said the doctor,glancing round the four bare walls as well as the light permitted. "You need hardly be nerovus on that score, I think." "No," said the man who had admitted him; "one who has parted with the very last rag and stick he can spare has at least that consolation. Vacuus cantabit, you know. But I have still a little pride left, and don't like every one to see me in this plight." "Ah," said Falconer, catching him by the arm to draw him near the light, "you have come down in the world, then. Was it drink? Be frank with ine." "I wont deny that drink began it," he answered, quietly; "But don't make a mistake, doctor; drink isn't the cause of my present illness. I was once a university man myself.and looking forward to a profession. Drink ruined my prospects, and I found myself a private soldier Instead. But I pulled up. I haven't tasted drink for many years. An old wound received at Abu Klea, and repeated doses of. malaria have brought me to my present condition." "Am I to understand, then," *aid the doctor, "that you are yourself the patient I was sent for to see? Why are you not in bed. then?" "Because there is no one to open the door but myself. I am alone in the house—and in the world. But whe* you see iny bed," ha added, grimi>. "you will not wonder that I like to keep out of it as long as I can." "You ought to be In it now,** said the doctor, and, indeed, as he spoke the man began to shiver and tremble, and crying with chattering teeth, "Ob —h—h! It's on me again!" clutched at the solitary chair that stood In the room.and sat down in such a paroxysm of shuddering that the floor shook beneath him, and the very window rattled in its frame. The doctor hastily produced his hypodermic case, and looked around in vain for a jug of water. Opening a door behind him, he stepped into a room almost as bare as the first, except that a heap of rags lay in one corner and a handful of fire smoldered in the rusty grate. A water jug and a cup and plate stood upon the floor close to the wall, but or lift Ing the jug he found it empty. Returning to hie patient, he found the fl*. had terminated in violent sickness. "My poor fellow," said he, as soon as this had subsided, "you must go to bed and have a nurse to look after you. I shall have you taken to the infirmary at once. Just lie down here for a few minutes until I can procure a fly, and I will have you there in a Jiffy. I will take you myself, so there will be no ed him by the arm and shrieked out: But to his surprise the patient clutc ed him by thearm and shrieked out: "No, doctor, no! anything rather than that! I would sooner die on the floor! I won't go, I tell you! If you can't do me any good here, just leave me alone; but go to infirmary or hospital, I won't, or have a nurse fussing about me either. I've fought through as bad as this before without any help, and I will again! Go!" he fairly yelled in his excitement; "go and leave me to get through it without your help." "Oho!" muttered the doctor to himself, "so it will be the asylum instead of the infirmary. Don't agitate yourself, my friend," he continued to his patient; "if you prefer misery to comfort, and sickness to health, that's you. own affair. I'm not going to force any kindness on you. You shall stay here; I can't pass any harsher sentence on you than that. Now will you be good enough to strip to the waist, and let me overhaul you thoroughly. You haven't had malarial fever so long as you say without enlarged spleen or liver, I'll be bound." The man sulkily took Off lig coat and waistcoat. "Don't ask m» to strip any further, doclor. It's too cold; and, to confess the truth, I haven't had my clothes off for weeks, and I'm ashamed you should see them." "All the more reason for taking them off now," said the doctor. "Mam, how can you endure it? It is eTnnrRti to breed a fever in itself! Off with them!" and he caught hold of him to help him to remote them. But the other wriggled from his grasp, and planted himself in a corner of the -room;—with hlo hands clutching hiflwaist as far round as he could reach. "Don't be such a howling fool!" said the doctor, with as much good nature as he could command under the circumstances. "Listen to me, my friend. !foif have contracted liver and enlarged spleen at this moment, or I'm very much mistaken. But you have worse than that. I felt something when I caught hold of you a moment ago, and I'm afraid it's a malignant tumor of the most serious kind. As I live," he went on, stepping close to him, and passing his hand round the waist, in spite of efforts to prevent him, "I can make out more than one even through your clothes. Come, come! Be a little more reasonable. Let me get you to bed and examine you properly. You're not fit to be on your feet at this moment. Come, my poor fellow, don't play the fool any longer. If you do, I shall have to conclude you a madman, and take measures accordingly. Don't force me to that." "Well, doctor, I give in then. Just step into the other room while I undress, please, and I'll call when you're to come in." The doctor raised his eyebrows at this modest request, but thought it best to humor him, and went into the outer room, closing the door behind him. As he did so, he heard the key turned in the lock on the other side. In another minute, however, It was turned again, and a few seconds later he heard the voice of his patient: "Come in now, doctor." Entering, he found him on a ragged mattress that lay on the floor, covered with a dirty blanket and the coat and trousers he had been wearing. Kneeling down beside him, he proceeded to examine him in regular professional fashion, but to his amazement he entirely failed to detect any sign of the tumors he had been confident he felt through his patient's clothes. The man's emaciation was extreme, and had any such abnormal swelling been present it could not have escaped his observation. But there was none, and Falconer was obliged to admit to himself that his first diagnosis was incorrect. He could find n« trace of the hard knotty swellings he had been so sure he felt beneath the clothes. There was enough, however, to warrant a grave view of the case, and he exerted all his eloquence to persuade the patient to consent to be taken to the Infirmary, but without (To be Continued.* MORE TROOPS FOR MANILA.

But few people who are born fools ever succeed in living it down. It Is noble to keep still, and the rebuke of silence is like a keen sword. Lots of people are too conscientious to lie and yet manage to suppress the truth. A man gets the last word in an arpiment with a wonmn, but it's because the givca it to him. The people who are buying Cuban Junta securities would be easy for aa amateur gold brick operator. The government has just ordered 10,000,000 cartridges. The world mustn't forget that America ia loaded. The settlement which is making fastest progress in society and crowns the exit of the century is the brotherhood of man. The power of one man to compel another to do his bidding, caused by the superior man's having authority to punish, is despotism. In all thoughts, and plans for the betterment of the world it has come to be seen that progress must be by biological and not by mechanical methods. Go face the flre at sea, or the cholera In your friend's house or the burglar in your own, or what danger lies in the way of duty, knowing that you are guarded by the cherubim of destiny. A Boston old maid declared that if Hobson had been a benedict he would not have dared to kiss MIss Arnold. She is probably right. The country would not have tolerated a Benedict- Arnold affair. No maa can do his work well,«as well as he can, year in and year out, and not be hacking and hewing at something more impalpable than wood or stone, and not be shaping something more double than iron or steel, even in his own character, his own spiritual destiny. Every workshop is a workshop for forging that, for making is strong and beautiful. Manual training in reformatories Fs a valuable influence. Men are often driven to crime, not because there ia no work for them to do, but because they are not fitted to do any kind of work. They have not had the training to fit them for life. Where the reformatories teach the convicts the use of hands and utilization of the senses and this is followed by kindly and helpful treatment by others reformation will be accompllehed in many cases. But the criminal's too ready excuse for his crime that he1 could find no honest employment of his hands or his brains is seldom true. There is good reason why the leader in an exploit such as Hobson's should be given special credit, for experience tells us that he must have inspired his men by h(ji example. It is so also with other leaderships besides those of war. Those who follow may be as brave as the leader after they get started, but they have not his initial courage or they would start without him. The leaders in great social and political reforms start out usually under most discouraging circumstances, but they have faith and courage, and finally through their persistence gather a few followers whom they inspire by their example. When success crowns their effort* their supporters are entitled to credit, but the chief honors fall naturally to the leaders, without whom the movement would not have been undertaken. It is characteristic, says Brad street's, of the celerity with which Americans adapt themselves to new conditions that almost immediately after the announcement of the surrender of Santiago the treasury department WM overrun with requests for information aa to the customs duties to be exacted at that city and other ports In eastern Cuba, and as to what preparations are being made for the resumption of trade with those ports. The expectation of a eooslderablt trade thither seems to be widely entertained. The underetandlng appears to be that the government will, for the present, enforce the minimum duties formerly exacted on import* from Spain, eliminating those charged on Imports from other countries. This policy will relieve commerce between the United States and Cuba from a heavy burden, and should la tat nature of things help to stimn- JaU a trad* tint ha« been so m«cb distorted. TALMAGE'S SERMON. "ENEMIES OVERTHROWN" LAST SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. 'Let Ood Arlu, Let HI* • • • t n i u Be Scattered"—Be«k of Ftalms, CU»pter Ixvlll., Ver*« 1—The Struggle* of Buutau KxUteace. A procession was formed to carry the ark, or sacred box, which, though ;only three feet nine Inches in length and four feet three laches in height and depth, was the lymibol of God's presence. A* the leaders of the procession lifted this, ornamented and brilliant box by two golden poles run through four golden rings, and started for. Mount Zion, all the people chanted toi battle hymn of my text, "Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered." . The Cameronians of Scotland, outraged, by James I., who forced upon them religious forms that were offensive, and by the terrible persecution of Drummond, Dalaiel and Turner, and •by the oppressive laws of Charles I. and Charles II., were driven to proclaim war against tyrants, and went forth to fight for religious liberty; and the mountain heather became red with carnage, and at Bothwell Bridge ami Aird's Moss asd Druraclog the battle hymn and the battle shout of those glorious old Scotchmen was the text I have chosen: "Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered." '. What a whirlwind of power was Oil" ver Cromwell, and how with his soldiers, named the "Ironsides," he went from vletory to victory! Opposing Enemies melted as he looked at them, dlamissed parliament a schoolmaster a school. He pointed his finger at Berkeley Castle, and It was taken. He ordered Sir Ralph Hop- •ton, the general, to dismount, and he dismounted. See Cromwell marching 'on with his army, and hear the battle cry of the "Ironsides," loud as a storm and solemn a« a death-knell, standards reeling before it, and cavalry horses going back on their haunchee, and 'armies flying at Marston Moor, at Winceby Field, at Naseby, at Bridsewater and Dartmouth—"Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered!" i So you see my text is not like a complimentary and tasseled sword that you sontetlmes see hung up in a parlor, a sword that was never, in battle, and only to be used on general training day, but more like some weapon carefully hung up in your home, telling ita story of battles, for my text hangs in the Scripture armory, telling ;of the holy wars of three thousand years in which it has been carried, but still as keen and mighty as when David first unsheathed it. It seems to me that in the church of God, and in all styles of reformator; we most need now is a battle-cry. We .'raise our little standard, and put on it the name of some man who only a few year* ago began to live and ir. a few years will cease to live. We go toto contest against the armies of iniquity, depending too much on human agencies. We use for a battle-cry the name of some brave Christian reformer, but after a while that reformer dies, or gete old, or.loses his courage, and then we take another b&ttle-cry, and thia time perhaps we put the name of some one who betrays the cause and «ells out to the enemy. What we want ;for a battle-cry is the name of sojne leader who will never betray us. and will never surrender, and will never die. All respect have I for brave men and women, but If we are to get the victory all along the line we must take the hint of the Gideonites, who wiped out the Bedouin Arabs, commonly called Mldianites. These Gideonites had a glorious leader in Gideon, but what was the battle-cry with which they flung their enemies into the worst defeat into which any army was ever tumbled? It was "The sword of the Lord and of Gideon." Put God first, whoever you put second. If the army of the American revolution ie to free America, it must be "The eword of the Lord and of Washington," If the Germans want to win the day at Sedan, it mvst be VThe sword of the Lord and Von Koltke." Waterloo was won for the English, because not only the armed men at the front, but the worshipers in the cathedrals at the rear, were crying "The' sword of the Lord and Wellington." The Methodist* have gone in triumph across nation after nation with, the cry, "The sword of the Lord and of Wesley." The Presbyterians a*ve gone from victory to victory with the cry. T h e sword of the Lord and John Knvx:." The Baptists have conquered millions after millions for Christ with the cry, "The sword of the Lord and of JuAson." The American Episcopalians have won their mighty way with the cry. "The eword of the Lord and of Bishop M'llvalne." The victory is to those who put God first. But as we want a battle-cry suited to til sect* of rellfionlsts, and to all lands, 1 nominate as the battle-cry of Christen- ^om in the approaching Armageddon the words of my text, sounded before the ark as it was carried to Mount fckm: MI^i God arise, let nit eseales As far as our finite mind can judge, it aeema about time for God to rise. Doea it not seem to you that the abominations of this earth have gone far enough? Was there ever a time when sin w « BO defiant? Were there ever before so many flats lifted toward God telling him to come on if he dare? Look at the blasphemy abroad! What towering profanity! Would it be poeslble for any one to calculate the number of times that the name of the Almighty God and of Jesua Christ are every day taken irreverently on the lips? Profane swearing la as much forbidden by the law aa theft, or anon, or murder, yet who executes it? Profanity is worse than theft, or arson, or murder, for these crimes are attacks on humanity—that is an attack on God. This country Is pre-eminent for blasphemy. A man traveling in Russia was supposed to be a clergyman. "Why do you take me to be a clergyman?" said the man. "Oh," said the Russian, "all other Americana swear." The crime is multiplying in intensity. God very often shows what he thlnka of it, but for the most part the fatality is hushed up. Among the Adirondacks I met the funeral procession of a man who two days before had fallen under a flash of lightning, while boasting after a Sunday of work In the fields, that he had cheated God out of one day, anyhow, and the man who worked with him on the game Sabbath Is still living, but a helpless invalid, under the same flash. • • e I Indict this evil as the regicide, the fratricide, the patricide, the matricide, the uxorlclde of the century. Yet under what innocent and delusive and mirthful names alcoholism deceives the Treople! it is a "cordlair^~~If lr""blt= ters." It is. an "eye-opener." It Is an "appetizer." It is a "digester." It Is an "invigorator." It Is a "settler." It Is a "night cap." Why don't they put on* the right labels—"Essence of Perdition," "Conscience Stupefter," "Five Drachms of Heart-ache," "Tears of Orphanage," "Blood of Souls," "Scabs of an Eternal Leprosy," "Venom of the Worm that Never Dies?" Only once in a while is there anything In the title of liquors to even hint their atrocity, as in the case of "sour ma»h." That I see advertised £11 over. It Is an honest name, and anyone can understand it. "Sour mash!" That is, it makes a man's disposition sour, and his associations sour and his prospect sour; and then It is good to mash his body, and mash h!s soul, and mash his business, and mash his family. "Sour mash!" One honest name at last for an intoxicant! But through lying labels of many of the apothecaries1 shops, good people, who are only a little under tone in health, and wanting some invigoration, have unwittingly got on their tongue the fangs hia cobra, that stings to death so large a ratio of the human race. Others are ruined by the common and all-destructive habit of treating customers. And it Is a treat on their coming to town, and a treat while the bargaining progresses, and a treat when the purchase is made, and a treat as he leaves town. Others, to drown their troubles, submerge themselves with this worse trouble. Oh, the world is battered and bruised and blasted with this growing evil! It is more and more entrenched and fortified. They have millions of dollars subscribed to marshal and advance the alcoholic forces. They nominate and elect and govern the vast majority of the officeholders of this country. On their side they h£ve enlisted the mightiest political power of the centuries. And behind them stand all the myrmidons of the nether world, Satanic, Apollyonic and Diabolic. At is beyond all huiiian effort to overthrow this baatile of decanters or capture this Gibraltar of rum jugs. And while I approve of all human agencies of reform. I would utterly despair if we had nothing else. But what cheers me is that our best troops are yet to come. Our chief artillery is in reserve. Our greatest commander has not yet fully taken the field. If all hell is oa their side, all heaven is on our side. Now "Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered.1' Then look at the impurities of these great cities. Ever and anon there are inh ifie newspapers exposures of social life that make the story of Sodom quite respectable; "for such things," Christ says, "wtre more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah" than for the Chorazias and Btthsaidas of greater light. It is no unusual tbiyg in our cltie3 to see men in high positions with two or three fajdUies, or refined ladies willing solemnly to marry the very swine of society, rf they be wealthy. The Bible all .aflame with denunciations agaiuat an impure life, but many of the American ministry uttering cor one poiiji-.blank word against this iniquity lest some old libertine throw up his church pew. Machinery Organized in all the cities of the United States and Canada by which to put yearly in the grinding-mill of this iniquity thousands of the unsuspecting of the country farm-bouses, one procuress confessing ia the courts that she had supplied tha infernal market with one hundred and ttty victims in six moot**. Oh! for Are h*adre4 newspaper* in America to swing open the door of this lazar-houue of aociul corruption! Exposure muat come be* fore extirpation. While the city van oarrlea the scum of this sin from the prison to the police court morning by morning, It is full time, if we do not want high American life to become like that of the court of Louis XV., to put millionaire Lotharios and the Pompadours of your brown-stone palaces into a van of popular indignation, and drive them out of respectable associations. What prospect of social purification can there be as long as at summer watering places it is usual to see a young woman of excellent rearing stand and simper and giggle and roll up her eyes sideways before one of those first-class satyrs of fashionable life, and on the ball-room floor join him In the danc.3, the maternal chaperon meanwhile beaming from the window on the scene? Matches are made in heaven, they say. Not such matches; for the brimstone indicates the opposite region. The evil is overshadowing all our cities. By some these immoralities are called peccadilloes, gallantries, eccentricities and are relegated to the realms of jocularity, and few efforts are being made against them. God bless the "White Cross" movement, as it is called— an organization making a mighty assault on this evil! God forward the tracts on this subject distributed by the religious tract societies of the land! God help parents In the great work they are doing, in trying to Btart their children with pure principles! But is this all? Then it is only a question of time when the last vestige of purity and home will vanish out of sight. Human arms, human pens, hunaa^ oice^-human talents are not sufficient. I begin to look up. I listen for artillery rumbling down the sapr phire boulevards of heaven. I watch to see if in the morning light there be not the flash of descending scimitars. Oh, for God! Does it not seem time for his appearance? Is it not time for all lands to cry out: "Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered?" Not only are the affairs of this world so artwiBt, a-jangle and racked, that there seems a need of the Divine appearance, but there is another reason. Have you not noticed that in the history of this planet God turns a leaf about every two thousand years? God turned a leaf, and this world was fitted for human residence. About two thousand more years passed along and God turned another leaf, and it was the Deluge. About two thousand more years passed on, and it was the Nativity. Almost two thousand more years have passed, and he will pro&aDly soon turn another leaf. What it shall be I cannot say. It may be the demolition of all these monstrosities of turpitude, -and the establishment ttf right , eousness in all the earth. He can do it, and he will do it. I am as confident as if it were already accomplished. How easily he can do It, my text suggests. It does not ask God to hurl a great thunderbolt of his power, but just to rise from the throne on which he sits. Only that will be necessary. "Let God arise!" It will be no exertion of omnipotence. It will be no bending or bracing for a mighty lift. It will be no sending down the sky of the white horse cavalry of heaven or rumbling war chariots. He will only riae. Now he is sitting In the majesty and patience of his reign. He is from his throne watching the mustering of all the forces of blasphemy and drunkenness and Impurity and fraud and Sabbath- breaking, and when they have done their worst, and are most surely organized, be will bestir himself and say: "My enemies have denied me long enough, and their cup of iniquity Is full. I have given them all opportunity for repentance. This dispensation of patience is ended, and the faith of the good shall be tried no longer." And now God begins to rise, and what mountains give way under his right foot I know not; but, standing !n the full radiance and grandeur of his nature, he looks this way and that, and how his enemies are scattered! Blasphemers, white and dumb, reel down to their doom; and those who have trafficked in that which destroys the bodies and souls of men and families will fly with cut foot on the down grade of broken decanters; and the polluters of society, that did their bad work with large fortunes kud high social sphere, will overtake IM their descent the degraded rabble of underground city life, as they tumble over the eternal precipices; and the world shall be left clear and clean for the friends of humanity and the worshipers of Almighty God. The last thorn plucked off, the world will be left a blooming rose on the bosom of that Christ who came to gardenize It. The earth that stood snarling with its tigerish passion, thrusting out its raging claws, shall lie down a lamb at the feet of the Lamb of God, who took away the sins of the world. And now the best thing I can wish for you, and the best thing I can wish for myself, ia, that we may be found his warm and undisguised and enthusiastic friends in that hour when Ood eaall rise a&4 Ma enemies saall THE RUSH FUR GOLD. *v«ro the _ The ra*h of (fold wekera to tbe Klondike briar* UrtlUngr meiuoriea to the "fortyniners" utiUalrve, of the tiaxb whtn they rirdled the c o n s e n t Qt f»ced the terrors of the treat A«eric«i» te*erton th« jouruov to the land of ««*ld.

The handlo turned; aa the door slowly opened a man who had been sitting by the fire rjse to hie feet. It waa not the woman he had expected, but, oddly enough, the very Individual on whose personality his mind had been dwelling. "I was thinking of you," was hU opening remark, as he bent to kiss her hand. The hand was withdrawn. Under the circumstances the act was not surprising. It motioned him to a seat. He sat down, negligently crossing his left with his right leg. "Thinking of me—and expecting my sister," she replied, archly. "Th« very essence of combination," he replied, politely. "So you are going to be married?" She started abruptly. "At last," he replied, Incautiously. She raised her eyebrows and laughed. "The experiment might have been tested before had you elected." The inference in her speech made her color. "The natural attitude of a woman Is unconscious exaggeration." He attempted an evasion. "You know I have not exaggerated," said she, quite firmly. "If it were possible, I wish you had." His voice was low. "Who Is to blame?" She turned away. It was almost a whisper. "God knows I thought you had married." "There was no occasion to think. If God knew, St. James' would have known." "It was reported in St. James' you had married abroad." "You believed?" she asked, scorn- -fuUy. .. The man bowed an assent. "How conceited some men are," the woman exclaimed. "That is wofully true, dear lady," said he, quite pleasantly. "Waa it from pique or love?" demanded she, quickly. "I sincerely hoped It was not from love," observed the man. She made a gesture of intense resentment. "How can you say such things to me?" "To whom else should I say them?" The turn of affairs was becoming complex. "You are to marry my slater?" "That Is also quite true." "You jilted me " "Which is not true at all." "You know that you did." "You should know that I did not." She turned her back to look out of the window. Her toe tapped petulantly on the carpet. "Circumstances over which " "It Is an error of taste to quibble," said she. It was certainly no quibble, but he ceased to explain. "The^whole season you acted as my devoted slave " "To be your slave for a season is to be your slave for a lifetime," interrupted the man. "You evidently possess many lives," she retorted, tartly. "If I did, I would lay them at your feet," was his earnest response. "Where so many others have trodden, I really should decline." She spoke disdainfully. "If I loved you then— which I certainly did not—your con- FORGIVE ME. duct—I cannot speak of it. I went abroad, and en my return, it is my sister. You are bent on keeping in the family, but the family may not want you." "To shut my eyes with your sisteronly I prefer to keep them open—is to recall your voice, its very timbre, its every Inflection. Once, when her arms were round my neck, it was you I a&w, your face was there, your eyes sought mine, your lips—oh ,God! Now, do you understand—I lore you still." "It Is not fair to my sister," said the woman. "Is it fair to any of us?" asked the man. "Your marriage to my sister—" began the woman. •"Could It not be to her sister?" suggested the man. "Whom you Jilted," sharply said the woman, by way of parenthesis. "Forgive me," pleaded the man. "Don't! He?* you no tact at all?" "It would item I had very little." She smiled saily. "Did you really think I was married f" oresently inquired the woman. "The story wag generally accepted.** "What of this?" flashed out the woman. Her eyes were bright; her lips drawn tightly together. She held between the fingers of her hand a ecarfpln. Tr? design was simple. A small diamond glistened from the center of a coll of golden rope. It could have been symbolical of great love based on a greater hope. Through a momentary transition it became a satire, drenched with tears. "Let it be paramount," begged the man. "Paramount! You forget who I am!" cried the -woman. "For me—the beauty of the world," remarked the man, gently. "Your visit to-day—" she toyed with the pin. "I am thinking of two years ago," His voice was hard. "What a cad you are," said she, placing the pin in her dress. "I beg your pardon," said the man, humbly. She looked at him, and her eyes were tender as they lingered on the face of the man. She held the pin in her fingers again. "This bond—" commenced she, look- Ing at the pin. "Can there be a bond between us?" asked the man, eagerly. "You make me weak. It is not possible. Yet I love you. Why were not you true, too?" Her eye glistened, "But I was. I am. This marriage is no criterion," exclaimed the man. "Matrimony is customarily accepted as a criterion," said the woman, quietly. "It is nothing." The man rose to his feet. "The idiosyncrasies of nothing can be tangible enough." "What a tragedy my life will be," declared the man, bitterly. "By looking into your future you omit my past," the girl rejoined. "I believe some lives re-enact the ITeeWoTWe i T a ¥ r i ^ ^ future." "What an awful comfort. It will blight your happiness." "My happiness! My happiness—" and he paused. The rustle of a gown could be heard on the staircase. It stopped at the door. > "Here comes my happiness," said he, cynically. "Be courageous," Raid the woman, as her sister entered. "There goes my happiness," said he to himself, as the former woman left the room. At the door she turned; their eyes met.

Ne*leot la the Forerunner of Miseiy and Suffering'—A Grateful Husband Writes of Hia Wife's Recovery. Nearly all the ill health of wqmen is traceable to some derangement of feminine organs. Theao derangements do not cure themselves, and neglect of the sensations resulting from them is only putting off trouble. Pathetic storie3 are constantly coming to Mrs. Pinkham of women whose neglect has resulted in serious heart trouble and a whole traiu of woes. Here is the story of a woman who was helped by Mrs. Pinkham after other treatment failed: DEAB MBS. PIICKUAM:—It affords me very great pleasure to be able to state that I believe my wife owes her health to your medicine and good advice. For three years her health failed rapidly; she had heart trouble, often falling down in dizzy and fainting spells/ shortness of breath, ehoking and smothering spells, bloating of the stoxpach, a dry cough, dyspeptic symptoms, menses irregular, scanty, and of an unnatural color. She had been treated by physicians with but little benefit. She has taken your treatment according to your directions, and is better in every way. I am well pleased with the result of your treatment, and give you permission to use my letter for the benefit of others.— COCAS. II. andMra. MAY BUTCHEB, Port Meyer, Va, The healing and strengthening power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for all female ills is so well established that it needs no argument. For over twenty years it has been used by women with results that are truly wonderful. Mrs. Pinkham invites all women who are puzzled about their health to write to her at Lynn, Mass., for advice. All such correspondence is set?n by women only, and no charge is made.

They eat enough, but keep thin and pale. They appear fairly well, but have no strength. You cannot say they are really sick, and so you call them delicate. What can be done for them ? Our answer is the same that the best physicians have been giving for a quarter of a century. Give them of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophosphites. It has most remarkable nourishing power. It jgfives color to the blood. It brings strength to the muscles. It adds power to the nerves. It means robust health and vigor.

Reports from all parts of the Dominion of Canada indicate that the vote for and against pri>Ufeb№Qfiu has been larger than was expected. The heaviest vote against prohibition was cast * in the province of Quebec. Here the JFreneh clergy had counseled their people to vote against prohibition.

T~r DR/FALCONER'S TEMPTATION,^ A SHORT STORY (Continued.) i "Just send me a few strong doses of quinine, doctor, and order me some milk and some coals, and I sail he able to get along by myaelf, as I have often done before and will often again. A few days will pull me round all right without troubling any one." "I'm afraid it may be a more serious matter this time," said the doctor, "but have your own way for the present. I'll see that you have some milk, and if I have a spare rug or blanket I'll send it a swell to throw over you. Now, good-by, and see that you keep yourself as warm and comfortable as yqu can under thy difficult circumstances you have r.hosen for yourself." "I oughtn't to have listened to him/' he went on to himself as he walked home through the driving snow, which had been falling thickly for Borne time; "but there's that old Ulundi rug of mine he can have tonight. It looks &% if he wouid need it badly." The ensuing night proved keen' and frosty and Falconer's thoughts reverted more than once to the miserable shelter in which he had left his patient and the still more miserable shakedown on which the fever-stricken wretch was lying. At a comparatively early hour the next morning he was again at the door, waiting in seme impatience until it was again unchained and unlocked, and revealed the solitary Inmate shivering and moaning in agonies of neuralgia. "So this i3 the result of leaving you to your own devices!'* he exclaimed as he strode in; "but come, there is no time to be lost now. Get on your clothes^,and anything you want to take with you, and I will have a fly at the door in five minutes. But sit down first and let me give you a hypodermi c dose of morphia to quiet your pain. Is there any water in the house?" "You oan get it at the tap, and here is a cup«. But I tell you plainly, I'm not gofng out of this house. Do anything you can for me without removing me, ard I will thank you and repay you when I can. I do thank you a hundred times for the rug you sent me last night. But go to infirmary or hospital I will not; understand that clearly. "Well, well!" said the doctor, wishand amazement such as he had never felt before, he was conscious of shuddering so violently that his teeth chattered, and the gold dropped again and again from his fingers. "For shame, Richard Falconer!" he heard himself saying aloud, "is this your contempt for filthy lucre, your boasted indifference to gold? Get up at once, put back that money and see to your patient as you ought! What is all thia to you?" With a great effort he pulled himself togather and began methodically to gather up the coins and put them back into the pouch. Most of them were English sovereigns, but some were Eastern coins, at whose value he could only guess. He estimated, however, that the contents of the first bag must be worth at least two hundred pounds; a second and a third were opened with a similar result; but the last three contained not ^oins, but jewels, mostly un- { set and many uncut; rubies, emeralds and diamonds, some of them of great size and evidently of enormous value. He was still engaged in counting and examining these last, oblivious of the of time^wben he was startled by ing to humor him for the moment; "lte down there and get under the rug then. Hold out your arm. There, you'll feel better in a minute. A deal better," he muttered to himself as he drove home a full dose; "it will be easier to get him away so. Now lie still and keep yourself warm for half an hour. I have another case to see in the next street, and I will be back here in that time." So saying, he walked quickly to the door, from which he withdrew the key and put it in his pocket. It was several minutes" walk to the nearest cab stand and nearly half an hour had elapsed before he was again at the door with &. four-wheeler. To his chagrin he found it fastened by the chain, but with a powerful push of his ehoulder he buret it open and entered. His patient was lying on the floor of the front room on his face, having apparently succumbed to the Influence of the morphia as he was returning from putting the chain on the door. "What a monomaniac!" exclaimed the doctor as he stooped to lift him. "Hallo! What have we here? those tumors again?" In a moment he had laid the insensible figure on the bed and was hastily undoing his clothing. Under the man's shirt, and next his skin, was fastened a broad canvas belt, furnished with six large leathern pouches w4dely distending and bulging prominently. "Ha! this explains the mystery! Vacuue cantabit indeed! What a weight! These are malignant tumors with a vengeance! Come, my friend, let go" —this to the patient, who was feebly and half unconsciously clutching at the belt as he withdrew it—"I must make a thorough examination of these tumors, since I have discovered them at last." Placing the belt on the floor—for there was no table in the room—he unloosed the strap of one of the pouches with fingers that trembled with excitexnent. A yellow gleam caught his eye, and for a moment his hands shook BO riolently and uncontrollably that a small avalanche of gold colna rolled out upon tne bare boards with a jingling crash, and spread over the floor. His head swam, flashM of fire seemed to dance before his eyes, a thunderous reverberation filled his ears, and before he was able to control his own move- Bents he was down on his knees wildly clutching at the coins with both hand«, tfcrttstlng them into his pockets as Cant • i he could gather th«m up. R«oovwith a ttnte of hearing the outer door And footsteps cross the floor towards the door of the inner room. Almost before he was conscious of moving he found himself at the door and in the act of turning the key in the lock. "Good Heavens!" he muttered, "I must be under the spoil of the gold-fiend myself. This will' never do!" Nevertheless he opened the door only wide enough to let himself through, and at once closed and locked it behind him. Then he found himself face to face with the driver of the cab which he had left at the door. "Beg your pardon, sir!" >?aid the man. touching his hat; "I thought you had forgotten me. Is there anything you want carried out to the cab?" "I'm afraid I did forget you," said the doctor. "The fact is, I have seen reason to change my mind about removing the patient. You need not wait any longer. Here is a shilling for the time you have lost. "Not quite a case for the Union Infirmary," he said to himself after the cab had departed. "I must get a nurse for him and order He will-be able to pay for them," he added with a laugh. "And now I think of it, I had better take charge of his money myself." So saying, he returned the jewels to their respective pouches, fastened them securely, and again locking the door, took off his coat and waistcoat and buckled the heavy belt around his own waist. Its weight surprised him, but when he had adjusted it In its place and rearranged his clothes over it, he was astonished to find how easily it fitted and how little external evidence there was of its presence. Then he kneeled down beside his patient and examined him minutely. The man lay in a death-like stupor, with eyes half open, and the doctor, raising the lids successively with his thumb, noted with keen professional glance that the pupils were contracted to less than half their natural size. "Good heavens!" was his first thought; "can I have given him an overdose?" The next ten minutes were spent in efforts to awake and arouse the sleeping man. He shouted in his ears, dipped the corner of his handkerchief in water and slapped his face, raised him to his feet only to find his legs collapse helplessly under him. Then he put hie hand to the hip-poeket in which he carried his hypodermi c case. The? bulky pouches of the belt delayed him for a moment, but it was enough to change the current of his thoughts. The thought of the wealth now within his grasp rushed over him like an irresistible flood, sweeping everything before it. "Don't be a Quixotic fool. Richard Falconer! You have done all you can for him; let him so now, and take the good tliat has fallen into your hands. Here l«s what will pay all your debts, solve all your difficulties, launch you on a new and full career, brighten your wife's lot, and give your boy a proper chance in the world. Think how much more good it will do in your hands than in those of this useless miser. Now you will have someehance of pursuing your scientific studies to advantage and doing some service to humanity in your day. Just leave the case to nature. Go back to your house. make your evening; visit in due course, find him dead, and certify the real cause—malarial fever. And if there be an Inquest, there are the contracted liver and enlarged spleen ready to your hand as a aufflcient explanation, and, what is better, a perfectly true one.** He strode up and down the room In a fever of excitement, his lips muttering, his head whirling. How It ended he could never clearly recollect; he had a confused remembrance of rushing from the house, of passing through the streets, even of stopping to speak with some acquaintances. He found afterwards that he had made more than one parish visit, through which habit and the automatic force of perfect training had carried him without any blunder. After a time he seemed to himself to wake as if from a dream. His wife's voice, sounding at first as If coming from a great distance, recalled him to himself. "Richard, Richard, what ia the matter? What has happened to you?" He was seated in his own chair in his consulting-room, his wife kneeling on the floor holding his hands. "Oh, you. are ill, you ate nothing at breakfast thia morning—I saw you, though you thought I didn't notice. Oh, Richard, you musn't go on like that; if you were to break down what would become of us? Sit still now, till I see if there be any wine left in the decanter, and then you must have something to eat." "Stop, Mary," said he, as she rose to leave the room. "I am better now. It must have been one of my old megrims, for I have no recollection of coming in. The fact is, I have only returned from seeing a rather curious case, and the poor fellow appeared to be in desperate misery and want. He is in an empty house by himself, has neither chair nor bed, nor apparently a scrap of food to eat. And I. can't induce him to go to the infirmary. He ifl a discharged soldier, and appears to have been a gentleman once, and ho seems to be as proud as Lucifer " (To b« Continued.)' PRACTICAL KINDNESS , TITLES CHEAP FOR GASH. If Ten Want to Be a Prince Hay tb« Honor in Italy. Throughout Europe Italian titles of nobility do not enjoy a very high reputation; so much so that, as a general rule, a mere Australian baron is more highly considered than au Italian marquis, says the London Mail. One explanation of this fact is that many 'of these Italian nobles with high-sounding handles to their names are not in a very enviable financial situation. Many astounding instances may be cited of Italian dukes and counts who occupy the strangest positions abroad. Some are coachmen, others hotel porters, one is an interpreter in a railway station, another is butler in the family of an American millionaire. In New York there is a well known Italian count who has run an elevator for several years past. In southern Italy, where poverty is greater than in other portions of the peninsula, the great noble families are compelled to resort to the most extraordinary strategems to save appearances. In Naples poor ilies have adopted a system of mutual carriages and horses^which—f somewhat curious. Five or six families agree to pay the expenses of a luxurious establishment, generally a fourin- hand, with coachman and footman. The carriage door, with the various coats of arms of the different families, is alone changed, according to the family which uses the carriage. On great occasions these families draw lots to see which shall use the carriage and horses. But a strange fact is that now, when so many noble ' families have become impoverished, the I t a l ic government is about to increase the price of titles. In future the man who wishes to bear a prince's crown must pay $8,000 to the government; to become a duke $6,000 is sufficient; for $5,000 one may be a marquis, at*i for $4,000 a count; $2,400 is sufficient to become a baron, and $1,000 for the simple prefix "de." These figures apply only to the titles conferred by ths king. Besides these royal titles ar3 the dignities conferred by the pop«, with which several American merchants and business men have bee*i honored. These papal titles are somewhat cheaper than those conferred br the king. At the Vatican a brandnew count may be created for $2,400 , and a marquis for $3,000 . American amateurs should take note of this fact It is hardly necessary to add that the proud old Italian aristocrats look down with the greatest contempt on these parvenu noblemen, whether created by the king or"the pope. These proud Italian aristocarts of ancient lineage, such as the Colonna, the Borghese, the Orsini of Rome, the Strozri of Florence, and the viscomte of Milan, consider themselves vastly superior to the caost ancient nobles of France antl Great Britain and the equals of mo»t royal families. Some of the old Roman nobles even claim direct descent from the days of ancient Rome. Awkward. "Dey means well," said the newir enlisted colored soldier. "I hasn't no complaint ter make 'bout deir intentions." "Who is yer troublin* 'bout?" "De brass band leaders. When de white troops goes out dey plays white folk's chunes, like 'Farewell, My Own True Love,' an' 'Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still.' bat when us troops goes out dey plays "Al Coons Look Alike to Me,' an' 'I Don't Care If You Never Oomee Bark,' and sech like."— Washington Star. HolUl«sr». These war lunet* have triad men'* •oul g in many unexpected ways, but like a shaft of sunshine and goqd cheer out of the cloud of privation and endurance has been the work that The American Tobacco Co. has done among the U. 8. Soldiers and Sailors ever since the war began—for when they discovered that the camps and hospitals were not supplied with tobacco they decided •> to provide them, free of cost, with enough for every man, and have already given outright to our Soldiers and Sailors over one hundred thousand pounds of "Battle Ax Plug" and "Duke's Mixture" Smoking Tobacco, and have bought and distributed fifty thounaud briar wood pipes, at a total cost of between fifty and sixty thousand dollars. This work baa been done quietly and thoroughly, by establishing headquarters in each camp, so that every camp and every hospital of the United States Army has been supplied with enough , tobacco for every man and the sailor* on thirty United States Ships in Cuban -waters have shared with the soldiers) •hi s most welcome of all "rations." Perhaps it will be only fair to rs-*1 member when we hear the remark again that "corporations have no souls." that there is one American cor* poration whose soul has been tried and has not been found wanting in "practical kindness." Marriage makes one of two, but it doesn't seem to decrease the population. Self-estee m is about all the satisfaction some men get out of life. Tours ia Rocky Mountain*.

Something* had gone wrong witb> some simple part of a stationary engine and the stoker could not fix it. After spending a day or two on it he wa» forced to ask the aid of a more competent workman. He failed also, and" someone suggested the employment of a local celebrity, a sort of tinker at any mechanical job. There is generally one in every locality.

Tbe floral parade was one of the grandest sights this part of Michigan ever witnessed and it was impossible to tell which carriage was tbe most beautiful.

Those people in Oklahoma who turned out and lynched a judge of the court must be very fastidious concerning the quality of justice in that territory. We should manage ottrfortune as do our health, enjoy it when good, be patient when it fo bad, and never apply violent remedies -except in cases of extreme necessity. Lillian Russell is playing to crowded houses in Berlin and the prospects are good for a German husband. A German delegate in the next international convention of Lillian's ex-husbands would give variety ty the proceedings. A reaction against political bosstatn is setting in. The system which began in the croytded wards of the big cities has grown and fructified in every •stratum of American politics. The people are disgusted with bossism. They are making ready to pull it out by the roots and cauterize the wound. They will begin in tbe ward precinct and finish in the white house. It i« reported everywhere that Cuban flags are a drug on the market, and dealers who have loaded up with them count them a dead loss. This is in itself a matter of small moment, for there is BO special reason why American* should buy Cuban flags, but it ie not time to forget Cuba yet, as most people teem In danger of doing. Tbe most serious part of the problem which we so light-heartedly took up le yet to come. formation photographed, and for w h i t reason? Did not this passage *^«> in by mistake into the nacred , Scriptures, as sometimes a paragraph * utterly obnoxious to tht editor gets iato his newspaper during his absence? Is not this Scriptural errata? No, no; there la nothing haphazard about the Bible. This passage of Scripture wa* as certainly intended to be put into the Bible as the verse. "In th« - jmnfos God created the heavens and the earth," or, "God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son." . And I select it for my text tedar because it is charged with practical and tremendous meaning. By tbe people of God the Philistines had been conquered, with the exception of a few giants. The raoe of giants is mostly extinct, I am glad to say. There is no use for giants nqw except to enlarge the Income of museum**. But there were many of them in olden times. Goliath was, according to the Blblle, 11 feet 4Mi inches high. Or, if you doubt this, the famous Pliny declares that at Crete, by an earthquake, a monument was broken open, discovering tbe remains of a giant 46 cubits long, or 69 feet high. So, whether you take sacred or profane history, you must come to the conclusion that there .were in"those times cases 4>t human altitude mon^ Btrous and appalling. David had smashed the skull of one of these giants, but there were other giants that the Davidean wars had not yet subdued, and one of them stands in my text. He was not only of Alpine stature, but had a surplus of digits. To the ordinary fingers was annexed an additional finger, and the foot had also a superfluous addendum. He had^ twenty-four terminations to hands and feet, where others have twenty. It was not the only instance of the kind. Tavernier, the learned writer, says that the emperor of Java had a eon endowed with the same number of extremities. Volcatius, the poet, had eix fingers oa each hand. Maupertuis, In his celebrated letters, speaks of two families near Berlin similarly equipped of hand and foot. All of which I caji believe, for I have seen two canes of'the same physical superabundance. But this giant of tbe text is in battle, and as David, the stripling warrior, has dispatched one giant, the nephew of David slays this mons-ter of my text, and there he lies after the battle in Gath, a dead giant. His stature did not save him, and hit t Sir Hygh Nelson, premier of Queensland; Sir George H. Reid, premier of New Sooth Wales, and Sir George H. Turner, premier of Victoria, recently met in conference and discussed plans for a Pacific cable. They decided to make the definite offer that if Great Britain and Canada collectively would guarantee flye-ninths of the cost of laying the new cable they would recommend tbeir respective legislatures to contribute one-ninth each, asking New Zealand to contribute the remaining one-ninth. While the really brave and true women of the country have been working and suffering lor the boys in blue, cheering them through every ill that befell and trying to make their life and their burdens as easy a* possible, other ladies, of a more hysterical and selfish turn of mind, hare done their best to make the soldiers aware of every ill the camp life bore for them, and have even tried to stir up mutiny and desertion. It is a very good thing that ladies of this temperament are decidedly outnumbered by the good sensible women, who not only know how to meet suffering bravely themselves, but can teach and help others to bear it with the same fortitude. "I'm a bolder man than you.sir," said an English, laborer to hie master, cot long ago. "I durst spend Bay last far' den, and you dursen't." The laborer never looked forward at ail. On tbe contrary, thrtftloess is often taught tbe classes by the masses. A little German girl who sells violets in the streets of a western city was questioned the other day by her teacher, who learned that she sold about twenty five-cent bunches each school day .with store on Saturdays and holidays, and that ifce raised the violets herself. "Tom a n * fee a great heip to your father," was the comment "Oh," was the quick reply, "I do not need to de it. Father earns enough, tor us all, but I am data* this to go to ooilege. I hare three hundred dollars in the bank already.** The • teacher, a Harvard fradnate, realising that the child could a tecftr check than thottfhtfttL about ms much noise as the fall of an anpi«»bk)*»om. Clear back In the country today there are mothers In plain apron, and shoes fashioned on a rough last by a shoemaker at the end of the lane, rocking babies that are to be the Martin Luthersand the Faraday* and U» EVflsons and the Bltmarcks and the Gladstones and the Washington* at id the George Whlteflelda of the future. The longer I live the more I like common folks. They do the world's work,, bearing the worid'B burdens, weeping the world's sympathies, carrying the world's consolation. Among lawyers we see rise up a Rufus Choate, or a William Wirt, or a Samuel L. I3outhard, but society would go to pleuea tomorrow if there were not thousands of common lawyers to see that men and women get their rights. A Valentine Mott or a Willard barker rises up eminent in the medical profession; but what an unlimited sweep would pneumonia and diphtheria and scarlet fever have in the world t t t t were not for ten thousand common doctors! The old physician In his gig, driving up the lane of the farm-house, or riding on horseback, his medicines in the saddlebags, arriving on the ninth day of the fever, and coming in to take hold of the pulse of the patient, while the family, pale with anxiety, and looking on and waiting for his decision in regard to the patient, and hearing him Bay, "Thank God, I have mastered the case; he is getting well!" excites In me an admiration quite equal to the mention of the names of the great metropolitan doctors of the past or the Illustrious living men of the present. Yet what do we_see In all £eeartments? People not satisfied with ortjiof work and ordlnary-dtlhand and foot did not save him. The probability was that in the battle his sixth finger on Ws hand made him clumsy in the use of bis weapon, and hie sixth toe crippled his gait. Behold the prostrate and malformed giant of the text: "A man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was the son of a giant. But when he defied Israel, Jonathan, the son of Sh-imea, David's brother, slew him." Behold how superfluities are a hindrance rather than a help! In all the battle at Gath that day there was not a man with ordinary hand and ordinary foot and ordinary stature that was not better off than this physical curiosity of my text. A dwarf on the right side is stronger than a giant on the wrong side, and all the body and mind and estate and opportunity that you cannot use for God and the betterment of the world is a sixth finger and a sixth toe, and a terrible hindrance. The most of tbe good done in the world, and the most of those who win the battles for the right, are ordinary people. Count the fingers of their right hand, and they have Just five—no more and no less. -One Doctor Duff among missionaries, but three thousand missionaries that would tell you tl«fty.have o n J y common endowment. One Florence Nightingale to nurse the sick In conspicuous places, but ten thoueaud women who are Just as good nuxBen, though never heard of. The "Swamp Angel" was a big gun that during the civil war made a big noise, but ntuekets of ordinary caliber and shells of ordinary heft did the execution. President Tyler and his cabinet, go down the Po&mae one day to experiment with the "Peacemaker," a great iron gun that was to affright with its thmnder foreign navies. The gunner touches it oft and it explodes/ an& leaves cabinet ministers dead «n tke deck, while at that time, all up and down our coast*, were cannon of ordinary bore, fifcle to be tbe defense of the" nation, and fready at tbe first touch ip:i waken todatj. The-oaise of the WOTR 4s big guns. After the politicians, who have made all the noise, go home hoarse from angry dmooMlon «a Uam evening of the first Monday in November, the next day the people, with the silent ballots, will settle everything, and settle it right a million of the frhlt* slips of paper tbey dr*» making ties. Instead of trying to see what they can do with a hand of five fingers, they want six. Instead of usual endowment of twenty manual and pedal addenda, they want twenty-four. A certain amount of money for livelihood, and for the supply of those whom we leave behind us after we have departed this life, is important, for we have the best authority for saying, "He that provideth not for his own, and especially those of his own household, U\ worse than an infidel; "but the large and fabulous sums for which many struggle, if obtained, would be a hindrance rather than an advantage. The anxieties and annoyances of those whose estates have become plethoric can only be told by those who possess them. It will be a good thing when, through your industry ar;d prosperity, you can own the house in which you live. But suppose you own fifty houses, and you have aJl those rents to collect, and all thoee tenants to please. Suppose you have branched out in business successes until in almost every direction you have investments. The fire bell rings at night, you rush upt>talia to look out. o window, to see if it is any of your mills. Epidemic of crime comes, and there are embezzlements and pibscond- Ing in all directions, and you wonder whether any of your bookkeepers will prove recreant. A panic strikes the financial world, and you are a hen under a sky full of hawks, ami trying with anxious cluck to get your overgrown chickens safely under wing. After a certain stage of success has been reached, you have to trust to many Important things to others thai, you are apt to become the prey of others, and you are swindled and defrauiled, and the anxiety you had on yo'ir brow when yon were earning your fl:"st thousand dollars is not equal to tht anxiety on your brow now that you hive won your three hundred thousand. I am glad for the, benevoltat institutions that get a legacy from nen who during their life were as sMngy as death, but who in their last will and testament bestowed money on hospitals and missionary societies; but for such testators I have no respect. They would have taken every cent of it with them if they could, and bought up half of heaven and let it out at ruinous rent, or loaned the money to celestial citizens at two per cent a month, and got a "corner" on harps and trumpets. They lived in this world fifty or sixty years in the presence of appalling Buffering and want, and made no efforts for their relief. The charities of such people are in the "Paulo-post future" tense; they are going to do them. The probability is that if such a one in his last will bf, a donation to benevolent societies triea to atone for his lifetime close»-fi8tednes8, the heirs-at-law will tHjy to break the will by proving that Ae old man was senile or crazy, and the expense of the litigation will about leave in the lawyer's hands what was meant for the Bible Society. 0 ye over-weighted, successful business men, whether this sermon reach your ear or your eyes, let me say that If you are prostrated with anxieties about keeping or investing these tremendous fortune*, I can tell how you can do jnbre to get your health back and your spirits raised than by drinking gal lone of bad-t*s*«ng water at Saratoga, Hamburg or Carlsbad: Give to God, humanity, and the Bible ten per cent of all your income, and It will make 4 new man of you, and from restless walking of tbe floor i t night you abail have efeht faouM' sleep, without tht hat* 0* bromide of potassium, and from no sppetlte. you.will hardly, be able to watt for your regular meals, and* your Wan cheek will fill up, and when you die the blessings of those who but for you would have p«rlshed will bloom all over your grave. Perhaps some of you will take thlB advice, but the motit of you will not. And you will try to cure your swollen hand by getting on it more fingers, and your rheumatic foot by getting on it more toes, and there will be a sigh of relief when you are gone out of the world; and when over your remains the minister recites the words: "Blessed are the dead who die in tbe Lord," persons who have keen appreciation of the ludicrous will hardly be able to keep their faces straight. But whether in that direction my words do good or not, I am anxious that all who have only ordinary equipment be thankful for what they have and rightly employ it. I think you all have, figuratively as well as literally, fingers enough. Do not long for hindering superfluities. Standing in the presence of this fallen giant of my text, and in this poet-mortem examination of him, let us learn how much 'better off we are with just the usual hand, the usual foot. You have thanked God for a thousand things, but. I warrant you never thanked him for tttbcw two implements of work and locomotion, that no one but the Infinite and Omnipotent God could have ever planned or made— the hand and the foot OnlJ that soldier or that mechanic who m a battle, or through machinery, has lost them knows aaythteg adequately »b©MVtSiair value, and only the ChrisUan tojttifcjtlst can have any appreciation of wtajb dH vine masterpieces they are, • ** •„ •. * Thfr mmssjjffpprrmmffttttiiootttt ooff—t hthiiss ;; ffaatttteenn giant's foot glorifies the ordinary toot, for which I fear you have never once thanked God. The twenty-six bones of the foot are the admiration of the anatomist. The arch of the foot fashioned with a grace and a poise that Trajan's arch, or Constantine's arch, or any other arch could not equal. Those arches siand where they were planted, but this arch of the foot is an adjustable arch, a yielding arch, a flying arch, and ready for movements innumerable. The human foot so fashioned as to enable a man to stand upright as no other creature, and leave the hand, that would otherwise have to help in balancing the body, free for anything it chooses. The foot of the camel fashioned for the sand, the foot of the bird fashioned for the tree-branch, the foot of the hind fashioned for the slippery rock, the foot of the lion fashioned to rend its prey, the foot of the horse fashioned for the solid earth, but the foot of man made to crosfl the desert, or climb the tree, or scale the cliff, or walk the earth, or go anywhere he needs to go. - With that divine triumph of anatomy in your possession where do you walk? In what path of righteousness or what path of sin have you set it down? Where have you left the mark of your footsteps? Amid the petrifactions in the rocks have been found the marks of tbe feet of birds and beasts of thousands of years ago. And God can trace out all the footsteps of your lifetime, and those you made fifty years ago are as plain as those made in the last soft weather, all at them petrified for the Judgment Day. That there might be no doubt about the fact that both these pieces of Divine mechanism, hand and foot, belong to Christ's service, both hands of Christ and both feet of Christ were spiked on the cross. Right through the arch of both his feet to the hollow of his instep went the iron of torture, and from the palm of his hand to the back of it, and there is not a muscle or nerve or bone among the twenty' seven bones of hand and wrist, or among the twenty-six bones of the foot, but it belongs to him now and forever. That is the most beautiful foot that goes about paths'of greatest usefulness, and that the most beatuiful hand that does the most help to others. I was reading of three women in rivalry about the appearance of the hand. And the one reddened her hand with berries, and said the beautiful tinge made hers the most beautiful, tjxi another put her hand in the mountain 'brook, and said, as the waters dfSfcpet off, that her hand was the mo**r beautiful. And another plucked flowers' off the bank, and under the bloom contended that her hand was the most attractive. Then a poor old woman appeared, and looking up in her decrepitude .'tsked for alms. And -a woman who had not taken part in the rivalry gave her alms.

Dulce^AimoddvaiFde Rio, the Spanish minister of foreign affairs, states that the Spanish peace commissioners have been* instructed to contend strongly for the integrity, of Spanish sovereignty in the Philippines, on the ground that the protocol between Spain and the United States was signed before Manila had capitulated, and also to make a firm stand regarding the Cuban debt and the Philippine loan of 1896, if Luzon is ceded to America. At Washington this official statement is regarded as a scheme to draw out the American commissioners' position on the Philippine question; and also as aa invitation to some European* power to inter/ere if the United States attempts to retain more than the island of Luzon. While the instructions of the American commissioners have not been made public it may be stated that such of the Philippines as are not held by the United States shall be so governed or disposed of that the insurgents shall not be placed at the mercy of the Spanish government,, nor shall they turned over to any power that might oppressively treat the Datives.

The Honored M M for Whom th« Child la Ohrtoteaed May Frov« » Failure, "fiy Gears*," said a man who has a position In one of the Cleveland banks, "a fellow who will name his child after any one else it a fool, that's all." Then he looked Bad and drummed on the counter for, a moment, eays the Ceveland Leader after which he continued: "There is no telling how any person ig going to turn out. The man who is looked upon aa a hero today may do something tomorrow that will make him a public laughing stock or worse, The only heroei who may be safely tied to are the dead ones and we are even likely to find out things about some of them that will tarnish their glory. You'll not catch me naming a child In honor of Dewey or Sampson or Sehley or Shafter or Hobaon or any of the rett of them. I've had one experience in that line which is going to last me as long as I live." He again lapsed into silence and deep lines formed on his brow. "You see," he went on, after swallowing several times, "I'm a Harvard man. I was a member of the class of '90. While I was in college I greatly admired one of the professors there. In fact, I thought he was about the greatest man that ever lived, perhaps barring George Washington. Well, I got married shortly after I came home, and, four years ago, my little.%;boy was born. Isn't he a bright irate fellow?" he broke off, turning to one of his fellowclerks. "He's as fine a boy as I've ever seen," was the reply. "That's just what _he_lsi The world would be a mighty dreary place for me, if I didn't have him to work and hope for. But," he concluded, with a sigh, "I'm afraid I've given him a poor start. You see, I insisted on naming him Charles Eliot Norton Blank, and t the 'worst of it is he's been christened that way. What a fool a man is to handicap his children with his own enthusiasm!" There bas been left with me for sale the following property: One five year old gelding, weight about 1200 pounds, color bark sorrell, sound, kind and all right; one second hand single harness and top carriage both in good shape; one Winchester 32 calibre repeating rifle nearly as good as new, The above named property will be sold at prices to sell quickly.

DIAMONDS IN THE HIGHWAY. And Street Washing IJ a Popular Industry of Klmberlejt Perhaps the moot interesting fact in connection with Kimberley, the diamond city, is the "street washing," which has been a recognized industry for some time past. With the exception of two or three of the principal thoroughfares, all the streets have been subjected to the washing process, and some of the debris washers have done very well. The "washing" consists of overhauling the earth for diamonds. At nearly every meeting of the borough council applications for permission to waah streets, or no are received. The would-be washer has to obtain the consent of persons resident in the street or road, to put the latter Into sound repair again, and pay tithe to; the municipality in the shape of 10 per cent on his gross finds. Last year £960 was paid to the municipality in this way, a good proportion of which represented commission on street finds. In the early days of the diamond fields the ground was washed in a very primitive style, many diamonds being thrown away in the debris, as it is called. This debris was subsequently used for street making purpose, and now, year after year, with better machinery at their disposal, people find it pays to "wash the streets."

On his preparing to leave Polk said: "Mr. Boucicault, I do not wish to insult you, but I wish to congratulate you on one thing.** "Not a bit of it. me boy," said Boucjr. "What is it, Polk?"
