Shatter — Bright Report of the 8tate Labor Commlnlnner—Long Chapter of Crimes, AvcldenU. Etc* Shafter Praliea Duffleld. *rlg.-Gen. Duttteld, who commanded fthe 33d and 34tli Michigan and Ninth Massachusetts regiments in the Santiago campaign, has the vindication of feis course in the much-talked-of battle of Aguadores in a telegram sent by Gen. Shafter to the secretary of war, in which he speaks highly of Duffleld, and practically apologues for his scanty mention of the Michigan men in bis official report. Gen. Shafter's dispatch says: "Gen. Duttield did all that he was expected to do and in a most satisfactory manner. His report received and forwarded today to Washington, with an indorsement that will show my appreciation of his services. In looking my report over, I see that the teferences to his action at Aguadores were not clearly expressed and it escaped my notice. There was no intention that he should do more than make such demonstration as would hold the enemy's troops at that place. To have attacked it with a view to its capture with the force under Gen. Duffield would have been the hight of folly." A. Terrible Crime. Pretty little 9-year-old Edith Knight was criminally assaulted near Twining by Allen McDonald, of Omer. Mrs. Mosher was caring for the Knight children during the absence of the parents. McDonald broke in the door. blew out the light and then grabbed Mrs. Mosher. She managed to break away from him and with the children ran for a neighbor's house nearby. The 9-year-old girl could not keep up and was caught and carried back of the house, where she was terribly abused by the villain. McDonald's house was surrounded and he made an attempt to escape, but was shot in the leg. The child was roughly used, but will recover. * Threats were made of lynching Mc- Donald at Twining, but the sheriff and his deputies were armed with Winchesters and landed him safely in jail. 1 Pingree Knocked Oat. The Michigan Central Railroad Co. 1* not compelled to sell 1,000-mile family ticketa for 8SOJ sit LtbJjie law of 1891. In a unanimous opinion of the supreme court, written by Justice Hooker. Gov. Pingree is defeated in his efforts to compel the Michigan Central by mandamus to issue such tickets. Briefly the court holds that the Michigan Central Co. has the right to fix its own tolls under its special charter, and that to hold the act of 1891 applicable to it would be to impair the obligation of the contract made by the state to reimburse the company for any damage which it might sustain. The court also holds that the Michigan Central Co. has not forfeited its charter by effecting consolidations with other systems. Tried to Kill Her Babes and Herself. Mrs. L. C. Williams, of Morrice, sent her oldest girl, aged 13, out to play and then gave poison to her two boys, aged 2 years and six months, respectively. A neighbor coming in found the babes very sick and when she began to question the mother Mrs. .Will* isms went down cellar. The neighbor grew suspicious, and after calling for help, rushed down into the cellar and found Mrs. Williams in a sitting position in one corner with her throat cut. Men were called and she was carried up stairs to her bed. On examination they found that the jugular veins were not cut. Mrs. Williams and the oldest boy may recover. Fatal Quarrel Over a GirL Wm.

Hall and Albert Pratt, of Essexville, for positions in connection with the execution of the beet sugar law at the Bay City factory, which is preparing to manufacture 7,000,000 pounds of sugar next year, which means that the state must pay the company 870,000.' Other factories are under construction %r\<\ t^isos-sure to ^care the taxpayers so that the law will probably be re-~ pealed at the next session of the legislature.

Thomas Ninde, a horse trainer, shot Millie Young, a waiter girl at the Hawkins house, Ypsilanti. Miss Young, accompanied by two other waiter girls, had just left the hotel. Ninde followed and overtook them and at close range fired with a 38-ealiber revolver. The bullet struck Miss Young just above the heart, and she will probably die. After the shooting Ninde ran straight for the city jail and surrendered himself. The act can be attributed to insane jealousy. Miss Young's home is in Carleton.

The-attempt of the »otho»iti«a W remove the Pillager Indiana—a remnant of the old Chippewas—from their homes on the north side of Leech lake, Minnesota, ^o the Whi}e.$B,rth reservation has resulted in , serious^ bloodshed. These Indians have had many grievances against the government und finally refused obey the Indian agents and committed various offenses against the laws. The offenders were shielded when officers went to arrest them. They. KdjQd two U. S. officials and when a threat was made to send troops against them the Indians promptly donned war paint and feathers and went on the war path. . • Gen. Bacon and "100 soldiers were sent on a special train from Brainerd to Walker and after a 30 mile trip on tugs across the lake in a gale a landing was effected with considerable difficulty, at Bog-Ah-Me-Ge-Shirk's Point, close to Bear island. Several hours beating the brush failed to uncover any Indians, and the soldiers assembled for dinner when a heavy volley poured in upon them from all sides. Three troopers dropped dead. The others sprang for cover to fight the savages in Indian style. A moment later there was another volley from the Indians and that was what the troops had been waiting for. The Krag-Jorgensens opened up- with a frightful rattle, just as the Pillagers made a terrific rush. Half a dozen of them dropped and the rest foil 'back, yelling like fiends incarnate. The fire from the Pillagers then became more scattering* ancl the soldiers made a fine charge and,drove them back, though the firing continued. The steamers on which the soldiers had come, as well as those used by the newspaper correspondents, were fired on by the Indians and several persons on board were wounded. Several correspondents we^re in the thick of the fight and it is reported that they were killed. No report of the outcome of the fight has been received, but there is an unconfirmed report that Gen. Bacon and his entire force were massacred. A dispatch boat sent to the island cruised up and down near the scene of the battle for two hours, but they were unable to see a man and fear that all soldiers and officers have fallen. Reinforcements have been forwarded from St. Paul. The outlook at this hour is that the agency Indians may go on the warpath at any moment. Reports from the seene of the battle were meager, but gave the troops' loss in the first tight as folluws: Maj. Wilkinson and five other soldiers and one Indian policeman killed, and eight privates and one Indian policeman wounded. The fighting wa*s still going on. G*en. Bacon and his small band ing their great heroism. All of the Leech Lake Indians have arisen in support of the Pillagers, and it is reported that the Mille Lacs, 300 strong, are joining the red warriors. A train with 215 of the Third infantry from Fort Snelling, under command of Lieut.-Col. Harbach, arrived in Walker and at once started for Bear island. Another special train left Brainerd with 200 soldiers. Inspector Tinker expresses the opinion that with 500 soldiers the Indians will be subdued, but thinks there will be bloodshed and may be lots of it. The inhabitants of Walker, Lothrop, Cass Lake and Hackensack, Minn., are terrified beyond measure and are armed as far as arms and ammunition are procurable.

Endorsement of this kind has made Doan's Kidney Pills a household word throughout the state. The good they have doue has won them many a title end such worthy names among people as the "little conqueror of kidney ills,'' "little enemies to backache," "modern wonder-workers," etc. Mr. Wooley says: "I was subject for years to attacks of backache or pains through the loins and kidneys, generally of a dull, heavy, aching nature, but often when the weather chang-ert or when I moved awkwardly they became sharp twinges ot pain. As I was doing work which required stooping it was vevy painful, exceedingly so, if I'caught cold, which as a rule, settled in my loins. I tried various remedies but was never successful in obtaiuing any permanent benefit until I used Doan's Kidney Pills. At the time my back was troubling me a great deal but shortly after I Iregarr the treatment the aching abated and when I had finished it I was cured.

"Oh, Richard, you must try if we can't do something for him. I never hear of an old soldier without thinking of my poor brother, Jack, who, you know, ran away and enlisted while I was quite a little girl, and how miserably he died in Africa. Oh, what a pet I used to be of poor Jack's! If we had heard of any one who had been good to him at last, how we should have ble?aed him! Do tell me all about this poor fellow, and Vt us see If we can devise any way of feelping him." "I am afraid he is pretty well past help," said Richard. "J left him unconscious, and I should not be in the least surprised if he should never come to himself again." "But surely he can't be left to himself In an empty house, Richard! It would be a sin and a shame to leave anybody BO. He must be got to the infirmary^ "Hewon't go. I have tried my best _^q make him, but he is obstinate." "Then we must bring him here. We have more than one empty room, for the house is far too big for us. Do let me get a bed put up in one of them." "Why, Mary, you know well enough we can't even keep ourselves! How are we to keep and feed a stranger as well?" "Oh, we must, Richard!" she cried impulsively, her tender eyes filling with team. "Think how forsaken and wretched he Is! Suppose It were your brother—and he is your brother, even if he be what you call a stranger. We mustn't shut our door on him—'I wa3 a stranger, and ye took me not in'— how could you bear to hear that?" She ran lightly out of the room to give her orders and see them carried out, leaving Richard sitting consciencestricken In his chair, all hie subtle arguments scattered to the winds by a single word. "Took him not in!" he echoed with a bitter laujr'a. "No, Lord, I didn't take him In! I knew a trick wort^i two of fhat; so I robbed and murdered him 'netead, fiteaa, c d then swore lies about It at. the Inqueat. And the best of it was that I did it all from <he most exalted motives—to promote the greatest happiness of the greatest number, at no expense except of the life of a wretched miser of whom the world would be well rid, who was only a burden to himself and a nuisance to everybody ekw! How clear It all was! but I dare not say It to Mary, and should hate her if she could listen to it for a second." He lay back in his chair for a moment with closed eyes, a thousand oMworld dreams and half-forgotten and aspirations crowding b&ck bis memory and circling rouifd the image of his wife as he had'lirst seen and loved her. There were unaccustomed tears in his ey^S as he opened them to see her standing before him in hat and cloak. X "Come, Richard," i3he cried, "you must take jmte to the place at once. There wajs eome wine left, and I have ic in this basket. I have told Alice to make up a bed in the back room ana to"'have some hot soup ready in an 'hour. Now get your coat ou and take me to the house. We shall need a fly to bring him here; but we can order that on the way." Her bright, quick eagerness carried him along; in another minute they were passing through the streets and had hailed a crawling cab. Richard regarded his wife with a kind of dazed eurprise. All the wan depression of her face, which had weighed upon his spirits for weeks, was gone, and a bright and almost joyous energy seemed to possess her that reminded him of the Mary of brighter days. He seemed awakened from a nightmare as he looked after her, and sprang lightly down to help her as the fly drew up in the wretched street before the empty house. Already the early evening was doting in, and it looked doubly desolate and forbidding in the twilight. "Why, surely there is DO one living here!" she exclaimed; "he must indeed be in a wretched plight, poor fellow!" Richard tried the door, but found it locked. He had no recollection of his departure from the house in the morning, but on putting his hand in his pocket he found the key, which he must have, slipped into it on leaving. They entered the bare outer room, and he could hardly hear his wife's exclamation of pity and dismay, his own heart was thumping so loudly with'terror and suspense. Should they find him still alive? His hand shook as he •aid it on the handle of the inner door, took mttWd, and for a moment he recoiled as from a living thing. Nerving hlrcaelf with an effort, he pushed open the door and went In. The room was precisely as he had left It in the morn ing; "the patient lay In a profound sleep, breathing heavily, and bathed in a profuse perspiration. Richard bent over him and felt his pulse, then shook him sharply by the shoulder and called loudly on him to awake, but without rousing him in the least. Slapping his face with a wet handkerchief, raising him off the ground, produced no better effect. Taking the little bottle of wine from Mary'e ready hand, Richard forced a few drops into his mouth. They were swallowed with a convulsive gulp, but made no change in the profound unconsciousness In which the patient lay. "It's no use," he said at last. "He's too far gone to awake. And yet hte pulee is very gGod, and if I had him at home there are one or two other things that I might try. So Just tell the driver to rcme in and help me carry him to the fly^' _ : He wrapped around him the rug he had sent the evening before, which was the only thins about him not In rags, and v/lth the driver's assistance carried hfm cut and propped him up in the fly. Before quitting the place Richard turned the bed over with his foot to be sure notblng of value was left behind. A heavy revolver, which proved to be loaded, rattled upon the floor, and afl he stooped to pick it up a yellow gleam caught hie eye among the rags. "What! more money!" he exclaimed, but on looking closer he found that It was only the gilt' case of an old-fashioned, faded daguerreotype portrait. Nothing else was to be found, and slipping it into his pocket with the revolver, he returned to the cab, locking the door behind him as he left. A few minutes' driving brought tho party back to Richard's house, and with the assistance of the cabman, the still unconscious patient was carried up to on<* ot the empty rooms, where a bed had been prepared to receive hinr Mary was ready with hot soup and coff> P., and Mt a. little disappointed when Richard turned her from the' door. "No, no, Mary, it's no use/trying to give it to him that wty. .Make a little very strong beef-tea; £/will find a way to administer that. /Send me up the bottle of Condy'eyfiuld, and a glass an" a jug of waterX Lefc to himself, he proceeded with a fierce anjtlety^ very different from his usual ^professional coolness, to take pucb/'measures as his knowledge dic- Uted to awaken his patient from his Stupor, and these not proving immediately successful, to sustain life, 't possible, until the effect of the drug should pass off. It was late when, after having exhausted nearly every means known to him, he left him still lying unconscious, and went down-stairs. Mary had prepared a little supper for him. and was anxiously awaiting his appearance. . "A good, strong cup of tea for me. Mary." "Why, Richard, you know tea at T;lght always keeps you awake. Yon would not sleep a wink after It." "That's what I want. I am going to sit up with my patient tonight, and before Alice goes to bed 5'ou had bettor tell her to light a fire In his room." "Oh, Richard, mayn't I sit up along with you? I sun sure I rjhall not close my eyes the whole time for thinking of you. I never can sleep when you are away from me at nights." "All the more reason for you to b? vesting quietly in bed, then," said Richard, who had his own reasons for wishing to be alone with his patient in •'he event of his recovering consciousness. When the household had retired. Richard sat down in an easy-chair b.c- -Ide the fire, having first made a care- 'ul examination of his patient, who moaned .and muttered in his sleep as he turned him over to sound his heart. Reassured of these signs of reviving consciousness, he opened the latent works on "Poisons," on which he hail recently expended a guinea which he could very ill spare, turned to the section on "Morphia," and settled himself In his chair to study it attentively. About four hours later he was awakened from a deep sleep by a loud cry uttered near him. The book had fallen to the floor beside the chair; the fire had gone out. but the lamp was burning brightly. The sick man was sitting up in bed, from which he had thrown off the covering, and was wWdly groping anifeng the bed-clothes in search of something. "Lost, lost!" he shrieked. "Help! thieves! Police!" ftlchard was at his side in a cement and caught him by the shoulder. "Thank God, you are better!" ha exclaimed. "But what are you looking for?" "What, doctor, is it you? Where am I? What has been the matter with me? I feel as if I had slept for a hundred years!" "You are in my house," said Richard, "and everything you have is safe. Wow pull yourself together and let me have a look at you. Pupils normal, heart all right. Why, you are a miracle! Just swallow this cup of coffee; it's cold, but your throat must be like a chimney. Down with it!" "More, more; I could drink up EBII!" he cried, holding out the empty cup to be refilled. "You must be a magician, doctor, to have brought me round so quickly. I'm accustomed to these attacks, as I told you, and the worst te always over In three days. But there Is always sickne?s and prostration afterwards, and this time I positively feel better than I have done for years. I have had such a sound sleep as I thought I should never enjoy again. How did you do it, doctor?" "Morphia!" said Richard grimly. "A heroic dose; I saw you were pretty bad and it had to be either kill or cure. Till within five minutes ago I was greatly afraid it was going to be kill. You have slept about twenty hours." •"I can never thank you enough for your courage, for it has put new life into me. I must have been as sound as a church if you have removed me without my knowing it. But are you quite sure you left nothing behind, for I missed something just now that must not be- lost-oa any account?"— "I know," said Richard quietly, but keenly watching the other's face as he spoke. "You had a belt around you with several thousand pounds' worth of money and jewels in It. You had also a loaded revolver, for the purpose, I presume, of defending your wealth. Don't be uneasy about them; I have them both safely under lock and key." (To be Continued.) POINTS ON FOOD. 1 / Coffee is to be cheaper. This Is to be one of the result*- of the War. Nearly half of the world's coffee crop comes to the United States./ We consume almost twelve pouruis per annum for every one of our population, and spend ou an average Nearly $90,000,000 a year for coffee. /TVo-thirds of the world's supply pf coffee comes from Brazil, which places an export duty of 11 per .cenfupon the fragrant beiTy, The nnes{ coffee in the world is grown in Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines, and under the stimulation of American— enterprise these countries will. within a few years, be able to supply the world with coffee. What this means to the coffee consumer he can clearly understand. After all that has been said about the large quantity of valuable food that is going to waste in the shape of edible mushrooms,' recent Investigations made by Prof. L. B. Mendel of Yale show that the nutritive value of the mushroom Is not so very high after all. Science describes Prof. Mendel's experiment as follows: "Chemical analyses were combined with experiments in artificial digestion and special attention was given to the amount of available (digestible) proteid present. The latter was found to be not over 2 or 3 per cent in fresh mushrooms, which shows that the prevailing idea of the great nutritive valae^of mushrooms is not yet justified. be valuable as dietetic accessories, but they do not deserve the term 'vegetable beefsteak.' Their nitrogen is largely in the form of nonproteid bodies. The amount of fat, cholesterin, soluble carbohydrates, crude fiber and inorganic substances contained la them corresponds in general with that i'ound in other vegetable foods, such as peas, corns and potatoes." Rice bread is the staple food of the Chinese, Japanese and a large portion of the inhabitants of India. In Persia the bread is made from rice flour and milk; it Is called "lawash." The Persian oven is built In the ground about the size of a barrel. The sides are smooth mason work. The fire is built .it the bottom and kept burning until :he wall or sides of the oven are thoroughly heated. Enough dough to form a sheet about one foot wide and about two feet long \s thrown on the bench and rolled until about as thin as sole leather; then it is taken up and tossed and rolled from one arm^to the other •and flung on a board and slapped on the side of the oven. It takes only a few moments to bake, and when baked it is spread out to cool. This bread is cheap (1 cent a sheet); It is sweet and nourishing. A SOLDtCR'8 ESCAPB.

They were talking about the war and one said; "I had a son in the war with Spain and he was in the navy."

It was in the army. The boys had a meal of beef that had bee corned by a bath in a salt horse barrel. It was quite a treat. They all thought so until one of the party remarked that a little mustard wouldn't go bad., "That reminds me" said another "You just wait a few minutes. A quarter of an hour later he returned and producing a screw of paper he said: "Oh yes; here's that mustard. "Where did you get it?" said the others in chorus. "Up at the surgeon's.

Labor's worst enemy is the workingman, who won't work. The life work of a wise man may be destroyed by a fool in a da/. The average woman has more listen- Ing than speaking acquaintances. Lots of married men icrtafld the army tecause they were tired of fighting. It's always the last swallow that is responsible for the fully developed jag. Some men are truthful at all times— except when their wives ask for money. A man doesn't necessarily have to wait until he is 40 to become a fool or a physician. Too great a command of language sometimes lessens a woman's matrimonial chances. As a rule the more a man has to say About women the more he doesn't really know about them. When a young man is sowing his wild oats he always hopes that something will happen to destroy the crop. It is said that a burned child dreads the fire. Probably that's why a newly married man tries to avoid his old flames. A man may learn from his Bible to be a more thorough gentleman than if he had been brought up in all the drawing rooms in Paris. The young should know that wisdom's ways alone are ways of peace. God's favor is the highest good; and heaven is the noblest reward. Conscience should always be king, character is pure gold; reputation is but tinsel. Whatever th« conclusion regarding the Philippines, this is certain—they must not pass back into the hands of Spain. Whatever the trouble with Agulnaldo, a recognition of the partial authority of uU followers, under the direction of the United States, furnishes the only solution of a difficult problem. To let the Spanish resume authority there, after the tremendous cost of conquering them by Dcwey and Merritt, would be the rankest injustice and an iniquitous farce. Mrs. Louise H. Pratt of Sherwood, Wis., thinks that young women should not monopolize the privilege of naming warships; so she wants to be allowed to name the battleship Wisconsin.

" T H E HO UN D S D REINDEER' SUNDAY'S SUBJRCTfc "At the Hart Pantoth After the Watir Brook*, 80 Pantctti Mjr Soul After Thee, O God I"—Psalms, Chap. XUI, VOTM X. Washington, D. C, Oct. 2.—Dr. Talmage, drawing his illustrations from a deer-hunt, in *vis discourse calls all the pursued anc .roubled of the earth to come and Blake their thirst at the deep river of Divine comfort Text: Psalms 42: 1: "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my BOUI after thee, O God." David, who must some time have seen a deer-hunt, points us here to a hunted 6tag making for the water. The fascinating animal called' In my text the hart is the same animal that in sacred and profane literature is called the Btag, the roebuck, the hind, the gazelle, the reindeer. In Central Syria, in Bible times, there were whole pasture-fields of them, as Solomon suggests when he saya, "I charge you by the hinds of the field." Their antlers jutted from the long grass as they lay down. No hunter who has been long in "John Brown's tract" will wonder that in the Bible they were classed among clean animals, for the dews, the showers, the lakes washed them as clean as the sky. When Isaac, the patriarch, longed for venison, Esau shot and brought home a roebuck. Isaiah compares the sprightliness of the restored cripple of millennial times to the long and quick jump of the stag, eaying, "The lame shall leap as the hart." Solomon expressed his disgust at a hunter who having shot a deer is too lazy to cook it, saying, "The slothful man, roasteth not that which he took in hunting." But one day, David, while far from the home from which he had been driven, and sitting near the mouth of a lonely cave where he had lodged, and on the banks of a pond or river, hears a pack of hounds in swift pursuit. Because of the previous silence of the forest the clangor startles him. and he says to himself: "I wonder what thosedogs are after?" Then there is a crackling in the brushwood, and the loud breathing of some rushing wonder of the woods, and the antlers of a deer rend the leaves of the thicket, and by an instinct which all hunters recognize the creature plunges into a pool or lake or river to cool its thirst, and at the same time by Its capacity for swifter and longer swimming to get away from the foaming harriers. David says to himself: "Aha, that is yiyself! Saul after me, Absalom after me. enemies without number after me; awful combat The hart is velocity embodied. Timidity impersonated. The enchantment of the woods. Its eye lustrous in life and pathetic in death. The splendid animal a complete rhythm of muscle, and bone, and color, and attitude, and locomotion, whether couched in the grass among the shadows or a living bolt shot through the forest, or turning at bay to attack the hounds, .or rearing for Its last fall under the buckshot of the trapper. It is a splendid appearance that the painter's pencil falls to sketch, and only a hunter's dream on a pillow of hemlock at the foot of St. Regis is able to picture. When, twenty miles from any settlement, it comes down at eventide to the lake's edge to drink among the lily pods and, with its sharp-edged hoof, shatters the crystal of Long Lake, it f/very picturesque. But only when, after miles of pursuit, with heaving sides and lolling tongue and eyes swimming in death the stag leaps from the cliff fhto Upper Saranac, can you realize how much Dwvid had suffered from hie troubles, and how much he wanted God when he expressed himself in the words of the text: "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." Well, now, let all those who have coming after them the lean hounds of poverty, or the black hownds of persecution, or the spotted hounds of vicissitude, or the pale hounds of death, or who are in any wise pursued, run to the wide, deep, glorious lake of divine solace and rescue. The most of the men and women whom I happened to know at different times, if not now, have had trouble after them, sharpmuzzled troubles, swift troubles, alldevouring troubles. Many of you have made the mistake of trying to fight them. Somobcdy meanly attacked you and you attacked them; or they overreached you in a bargain, and you tried, in Wall street parlance, to get a corner on them, or you have had a bereavement, and, Instead of being submissive you are fighting that bereavement; you charge on the doctors who failed to effect a cure; or you charge on the carelessness of the railroad company through which the accident occurred; or you are a chronic invalid, and you fret, and worry, and scolfi. find wonder why you cannqt be well like other people, and you angrily b!amo the neuralgia, or the laryngitis, or tho ajrue, or the sick headache. The fa^t is. you are a deer at bay. Instead of running to the waters of divine coneolation, and slaking your thirst and cooling your body and soul in the good cheer of the Gospel, and swimming away into the mighty deeps of God's love, you are fighting a whole kennel of harriers, I saw in the" Adirondacks a dog lying across the road, and he seemed un- I am chased; their bloody muzzles at my heels, barking at my good name, barking after my body, barking after my soul. Ofe, the hounds, the hounds! But look there," says David to himself; "that reindeer has splashed into the water. It puts its hot lips and nostrils into the cool wave that washes its lathered flanks, and It swims away from the fiery canines, and it is free at last. Oh, that I might find in the deep, wide lake of God's mercy and consolation escape from my pursuers! Oh, for the waters of life and rescue! 'As the bait panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, 0 God.'" The Adirondacks are now populous with hunters, and the deer are being slain by the score. Taking one eummer with a hunter, I thought I would like to see whether my text was accurate in its allusion, and as I heard the dogs baying a little way off and supposed they were on the track of a deer, 1 said to one of the hunters in rough corduroy: "Do the deer always maVe tor water when they are pursued?" He said: "Oh, yes. M^ter; you see they are a hot and thirsty animal, and they know where the water is, and when the? hear danger in tfie dleianc* they lift their antlers and sniff the breeze and start for the Racquet or Loon or Saranac; and we get into our cedar shell boat or stand by the 'runway' with rifle loaded and ready to blaze away-'' My friends, that is one reason why I like the Bible so much—Its allusions are so true to nature. Its partridges are real partridges, it« ostriches real ostriches, and Its feindeer real reindeer. I do not wonder that this antler ed glory of the text makes tho hunter's eye sparkle and his cheek glow and hia respiration quicker. To say nothing of Its usefulness, although it is the most useful of all game, Its fleeh delicious, its skin turned into human apparel, its sinews fashioned into bofr-atrings, its antlers putting ha»- dles on cutlery, and the shavings of its hosn used as a pungent restorative, the name taken from the hart and called hartshorn. But putting aside its usefulness, this enchanting creature seems made out of gracefulness and elasticity. What an eye, with a liquid brightness as if gathered up from a hundred lakes at sunset! The horns, a coronal branching- into every possible curve, and after it seems complete ascending into other projections of exquislteness, a tree of polished bone, upltttod In prtde, or cwu&f down for able to get up, and I said to some hunters near by, "Wfcat is the matter with that dog?" They answered, "A deer hurt him." And I saw he had a great swollen paw and a battered head, showing where the antlers struck him. And the probability is that some of you might give a mighty clip to your pursuers, you might damage their business, you might worry them into illhealth, you might hurt them as much as they have hurt you, but, after all, It i« not worth while. You only have hurt a hound. Better be off for the Upper Saranae, into which the mountains of God's eternal stre-ngth look down and moor their shadows. As for your physical disorders, the worst strychnine you can take is fretfulness, and the test medicine is religion. I know people who were only a little disordered, yet have fretted themselves into complete valetudinarianism, while others put their t n s t in God and come up from the very shadow of death, and have lived comfortably twenty-five years with only one lung. A man "with one lung, but God with him, is better off than a godless man with two lungs. I saw whole chains of lakes in the Adirondacks, and from one height you can see thirty, and there are said to be over eight hundred in the great wilderness of New York. So near are they to each other that your mountain guide picks up and carries the boat from lake to lake, the Bmall distance between them for that reason called a "carry." And the realm of God'3 Word is one long chain of bright, refreshing lakes; efich promise a lake, a very short carry between them, and though for ag<v? the pursued have been drinking out of them, they are full up to the top of the green banks, and the same David describes them, and they swm so near together that In three different places he speaks of them as a continuous river, saying: "There ii a rlrer, tihe streams whereof shall make glad the city of God;" "Thou shait make them drink of the rivers of thy pleasures;" "Thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water." But many of you have turned your back on that supply, and confront vour trouble, and you are soured with y< ur (ircumstanceR, and you are fighting society and you are fighting a pursuing world, and troubles, instead of driving yoi into the cool lake of heavenly comfort, have made you stop and turn around and lower your bead, and it in •imply antler against tooth. I do not blame you. Probably under the earn© circumstances I would have dona woraa. But you are all wrong. Y-JU need to do as the reindeer does in February and Marclwit sheds,. Its horns. The Rabbinical writers alVmte to this resignation of antlers by the st&g when they say of a man who ventures hit money in risky enterprises, he has hung it on the stag's home; and a proverb in the far East tells a man who has foolishly lost hte fortune to go and find where the deer sheds her horns. My brother, quit the antagonism of your circumstances, quit misanthrophy, quit complaint, quit pitching into your pursuers, be as wise as, next spring, will be all the deer </ the Adirondacks. Shed your horns. Through Jesus Christ make this (icxt your God and you can withstand air thing and everything, and that whK affrights others will inspire you. A. In time of an earthquake when an old Christian woman was asked whether she was scared, answered: "No, I am glad that I have a God who can shake the world;" or, as in a financial panic, when a Christian merchant was asked If he did not fear he would break, answered: "Yes, I shall break when the fiftieth Psalm breaks in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee anfl thou shalt glorify me." Oh, Christian men and women pursued of annoyances and exasperations, remember that this hunt, whether a still hunt or a hunt in full cry, will soon be over! If ever a whelp looks ashamed and ready to sink out of sight it is when in the Adirondacks a deer by one tremendous plunge into Big Tup^ per Lake gets away from him. The disappointed canine swims In a little way, but, defeated, swims out again and cringes with humiliated yawn at the feet of his master. And how abashed and ashamed will all your earthly troubles be when you have dashed into the river from under the throne of God, and the heights and depths of heaven are between you and your pursuers! We are told in Revelation 22:15: "Without are dogs," by which I conclude there is a whole kennel or hounds outside the gate of heaven, or, as when a master goes in through a door, his dog lies on the steps waiting for him to come out, so the troubles of this life may follow us to the shining door, but they cannot get in. "Without are dogs!" I have seen dogs and owned dogs that I would not be chagrined to aee in the heavenly city. Some of the grand old watchdogs who arc the constabulary of the homes in solitary places, and for years hay* been the only protection for wife and child; some of the shepherd dogs that drive back the wolves and bark away the flocks from going .too near th,e precipice; and some of ibe dogs whose neck and paw Land#e«r, the painter, haa made Immortal, would not find mf shutting them out from the gate of shining pearl. Some of those old St. Bernard dogs that have lifted perishing travelers out of the Alpine snow; the dog that John Brown, the Scotch essayist, saw ready to spring at the surgeon lest in removing the cancer he too much hurt the poor woman whom the dog felt bound to protect, and dogs that we caressed in our childhood days, or that in later time lay down on the rug in seeming sympathy when our homes were desolated. I say, if some soul entering heaven should happen to leave the gate ajar, and these fatthful creatures should quietly walk in, it would not at all disturb my heaven. But all those human or brutal hounds that have chased and torn and lacerated the world, yoa all that now bite or worry or tpsr to pieces, shall be prohibited. "Without are dogs!" No place there for harsh critics or backbiters or despoilers of the reputation of others. Oh, when some of you get there It will be like what a hunter tells of when pushing his canoe far up north in the winter and amid the lee-floes, and a hundred miles, as he thought, from any other human beings! He was startled one day as he heard a stepping on the Ice, and he cocked the rifle ready to meet anything that came near. He found a man, barefooted and Insane from long exnosure. anproachingr him. Taking him Into his canoe and kindling fires to warm him. he restored him and found out where he had lived, and took him to his home, and found all the village in great excitement A hundred men were Benching for this lost man. and hie family and friends rushed out to meet him; and, as -had been agreed at his first appearance, bells were rung and guns were fired, and banquets spread. Well, when some of you step out of thla wilderness, where you have been chilled and torn and sometimes lost ami(< the icebergs, into the war*n greetings of nil the villages of the glorified, and your friends rush out to give you welcoming kiss, the news that there Is another soul forever saved will call the caterers of heaven to spread the banquet, and the bellmen to lay hold of the rope in the tower, and while the chalices click at the feast, and the bells clang from the turrets, it will be a scene so uplifting I pray God I may be there to take part in the celestial merriment. "Until the day break and the shadows flee away, be thou like a roe or a young'-hart upon the mountains of Bether." SEND Disturbances U<«om« po Serious That All t Forelffne* art In pansjor.

The Automobile Woman—Magic Vegetable Patch—Lettuce Comes Up Two Days After Planting—Belle of Napoleon— Belonged to a Bovrgogne Victim. The Eagle of the Falls. Empress ef the broad Missouri! Towering In thy storm-rocked nest. Gating on the wild waves' fury- Wondrous Is thy place of rest. Lofty trees thy throne embowering, Gloomy gulf around thine Isle, Mists and spray above thee showering, Guard thee from the hunter's wile. Walls of snow-white foam surround It, Crowned with rainbows pure and bright. While the flinty rocks that bound It Guard thy mansion day and night No Alhambras' royal splendor, Palaces of Greece or Rome, E'er could boast of hues so tendet Or of walls of snow-white foam. Yet this lofty scene of wonder * Ne'er disturbs thine eagle gaze, Nor Its mighty voice of thund«r— 'Tis the music of thy days. Of its voice thou art not weary, Of its waters dost not tire; Ancient as thine own loved eyry, 'Twas the chorus of thy sire. Songs of rapture loudly swelling Laud the monarch on his throne, But the music of thy dwelling Chants the praise of God alone. Let sultanas boast their fountains, Gardens decked with costly flowers, 'Twas the Hand that built the mountains Formed far thee thy forest bowers. Queens may boast their halls of lightness Blazing with the taper's rays- Crystal lamps of colored brightness, Dazzling to their feeble gaze: He who made the moon so lovely, Called the stars forth every one. Spread thine azure dome above thee, Radiant with its peerless sun! The Automobile Woman* The smart and sporty Parisian has now not only to think of her golfing gown, her tailor-made walking gown, her bicycle costume, but she has her awAomobiel gown—perhaps the most Important of all, for a promenade en automobile without being properly dressed for it te a chic sort of misery, writes Katharine De Forrest in Harper's Bazar. Privately I am not at all sure that automobiles in any costume are an unmixed joy. We none of us envied Baroness von Zuylen, the only woman in a party of thirty starting out yesterday morning on the race to Amsterdam and back. She wore a very good-looking gown of gray mixed goods, with a dark blue jacket. Like all the other engineers—or chauffeurs, as they are called here; a word that is fast becoming immortalized as slang— her eyes were protected by enormous blue-glass goggles. The dust in a race Is ftomething frightful I am told. French tailors are beginning now to make a specialty of gowna for the automobile. They are generally in gray, dark blue or green, and covert-coating seems to be the favorite material.. The coats are smart, with many pockets and large and beautiful buttoas. Nearly every chauffeose Is provided with a long supple redinggote, trimmed with a vol* v&t en forme. The hat, it goes without saying, is as simple as possible, is generally felt, and is worn with a thick veil. The cost of an automobile car rem& ins somewhat prohibitive except to th« well-to-do, but amongst the moneyed and leisured class its growing popularity is without question. Although not yet quite a "common object" either of the countryside or of the city streets, the motor-car is gradually but steadily emerging from the phenomenal to the familiar stage. Members of a London, England, club devoted to its cult frequently organize excursions, somewhat upon picnic lines, and of the pleasantest description. Mr. Frank Butler, honorary treasurer of the Automobile club ct Great Britain, recently entertained the members owning motor-cars, and friends riding with them, on his houseboat, the Dolce Far Niente, stationed at Shiplake. About three hundred invited guests had lunch in the marquee. Several of the members drove in their cars to Oxford next day, returning to Henley in the evening, and arrived in London on Monday. Belle of Napoleon. From the Boston Transcript: Mile. Marie Poncy, who lost her life by the sinking of the French steamer La Bourgogne, was a governess in the family of a wealthy dry goods dealer of Manhattan and she was a young woman of exemplary life. While she lived in Brooklyn she attended the little French church at Woodhaven under tb» ministrations of Pastor Lador. She intended to spend the summer with friends in Paris and Geneva, and when she-sailed on the vessel she was overjoyed at the chance of seeing relatives whom she had not visited since her arrival in this country. Miss Poncy left In the residence of her friend, Mrs. Jacquard, a number of books, sheets of music and ether possessions, which she intended to use on her return to this country. The fact that she expected to come home soon was evidenced* last night, when Mr. Jacquatd found among her effects one of the most prized treasures, namely, a portion of the cockade worn by Napoleon at the battle of Rivoll on Jan. 14, 1797. Napoleon bad been only married to Josephine about a year then and he gave her his plumes worn at the battle as a keep* sake. When he went to Egypt the duchess of Saze-Gotha sent Mr. De la Lande to Josephine for some aouvenlr of the great general, and Josephine gave the messenger the plume and told its story. A portion of It was given to Miss Poncy's father and he had It framed in a gold medallion. This was the treasure of the poor young woman who sailed on the Bourgogne, and, fearing that it might go astray, she had left it, with her other; effects, with her friends, the Jacquards. The memento, which is labelled "Fragment du panache de Bonaparte a la Bataille de Rivoli, le 14 Janvier, 1797," will be expressed with the other effects to Miss Poncy's sister in Geneva. The family regards the keepsake as priceless. Magle Tegetable Patch. A hot water geyser in the upper geyser basin of Yellowstone park, has been turned to practical use by building a hothouse over it and thereby enabling several crops to be ralBed yearly, where, otherwise such a thing would be impossible, because of the almost daily frosts in this region. The structure was built by W. P. Howe. It is roughly made, and is 25x50 feet A stream of hot water flows from a fiveinch hole in the southern end of the building, passing out the other end. The temperature of the water lacks only eight degrees of the boiling point, and the house is kept at a tropical heat constantly. The rich soil, the sun'e light and the condensation of steam from the hot water make an ideal combination for the growth of Vegetation. Lettuce, it is said, comes up from the dry seed in two days, and good-sized heads of lettuce were gathered in from fifteen to eighteen days after planting. In twenty- eight days a head of lettuce measured twenty-two inches across, and the condensation of the steam would even break down the larger leaves with the weight of water upon them. Cucumber vines grow from twentyflve to thirty- five feet in length in less than sixty days, without being watered, except for the moisture in the air. On some of the cucumber vines five full-sized cucumbers were gathered from a single joint. Three pails of water have been sufficient for watering the plants in the greenhouse on even the hottsst day. Hnnttag Spanish Gold. As a matter of fact, Spanish gold, strewn on the floor of the sea, has done much to improve the art of the diver. Before the armada year was out we began to search for the treasure tlie wrecked ships were supposed to contain, and these efforts were renewed from time to time down to the present ceulury.—Oue of the flrat to try hi luck was the marquis of Argyle. He Bent to Glasgow for a diver, and several descents were made to the ships sunk off the island of Mull. The diver's want of success was no doubt due to the rudeness of his apparatus. It is said that air was supplied to him by means of a leather pipe, but it Is not likely that he was able to remain under water more than two or three minutes at a time. Some eighty years later another attempt was made at the same ships, this time with a rough kind of diving bell. After a great deal of trouble three guns were brought up, and then the operations were finally abandoned. It may help to thrill some of the tourists who visit these northern seas to know that under their sliding keels lie Spanish ships and unknown quantities of Spanish gold. A Whitstable driver named Gann is said to have had a pretty piece of luck, late in the present century, with one of the ships of the armada. Business took him to Galway, and one night, over a pipe with the fishermen, he heard the local tradition that a Spanish ship lay off the coast, Gann made terms with a man who said he knew the whereabouts of the wreck, and after several weeks of patient searching with grapnels they came upon traces of a ship. Gann went down in his diving dress and found a large quantity of Spanish dollars. They had been packed originally in barrels, but the wood had rotted away, leaving the gold stacked in the shape of barrels. The diver, with his share of the money, built a row of houses in his native place, and If anybody doubts the truth of the story let him go to Whitstable and ask for Dollar row. Center of Assert emu Fopmlatlea. In 1790 the center of population of the United States was a point twentythree miles east of Baltimore. In 1820 it was about sixteen miles north of Woodstock, Va. In 1840 it had reached a point sixteen miles south of Clarksburg, W. Va. In 1860 it was twenty miles south of Chilicothe, O. In 1S70 it had reached the neighborhood of Cincinnati, and today it is not far from Westport, Ind. The center of area of the United States is in northern Kansas. Accordingly the center of population is three-fourths of a degree south and more than seventeen decrees east of the center of area. Stop! Women, And Consider the AIM m portent Fact, That In addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman—a woman whose experience in treating woman's diseases is greater than that of any living physician— male or female. You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man—besides, a man does not understands—simpjl because he is a man. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probably examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or prioo you can consult a woman, whose knowledge from actual experience is greater than any local physician in the world. The following invitation U freely offered; accept it in the same Nplrit: MRS. FINKHAM'S STANDING INVITATION. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a,woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible tbatshe has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.—Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass. - " The present Mrs. Pinkham's experience in treating female His is unparalleled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many as a hundred thousand ailing women a year.** [kg x.

Vrlttah Opinion of What Mlfht Happen In M Bigg«r Flffht. Now, how will the adveut of this pew power (the United StateB) affect thelBuropean equilibrium? Even it we do not "take at the foot of the letter" that new-born affection which the Americans now profess for us, It seems to be plain enough that the circumstances which have brought about the reconciliation between the two kindred peoles will go cfn making for a closer and ever closer union between Great Britain and the United States. After all, we have the same blood, the same j religion, the same institutions, the same democratic government, the same language and the same tastes. We both love trade and commerce, and a working mixture of freedom and equality before the law to which no other people has attained. From the selfish British point of view, then, we hope that the Americans will take both the Canaries and the Philippines, and if they wished (which is unlikely) ror a port on the coast of China besides, they should have our help in getting It. The "weary Titan" that Matthew Arnold spoke of, with every muscle strained by the weight of empire, challenged on this side and on that by new competitors, menaced now and then by a combination of envious enemies, suddenly finds standing by his side a stalwart son, who, though he j has his own place in the world and his own ambitions, yet seems inclined to say that the old Titan shall always i have *at least a fair field, and, perhaps, j if the worst comes to the worst, some j little favor. And that is the way we j Britons feel about America. ThiB fact, that the two nations which stood against each other at the beginning of the nineteenth century now stand as friends, if not as allies, will probably : turn out to be the most important fact in the history of the twentieth century.— Saturday Review.

THE DIVER'S WORK. la Full of Difficulties and Require* Alertnesi. Moving ab-iWt on a WTeck, says a writer in Goofl Words, the diver has to exercise gr«at care to keep his airtube and signal rope free. If he goes round a mast or under a companion ladder or through a, door he must return exactly the same way, or his Hues will foul. Sometimes he gets into a tangle which he finds impossible to uncoil. Nothing worse could happen to him. The supply of air continues to come, for the airtube is so made that it never "kinks;" but he 1B a prisoner, and no amount of pulling will bring him* to the surface.

If he has "a clear road" lie will, having thrown off his weights, shoot up at once, and his fate then depends upon the time it takes the attendants to get to him. There ie. a case on record of a diver coming up In this way and striking against the bottom of" the boat; his helmet was not damaged, but the force of the blow drove the edges down into the man's shoulders and killed him. Some years ago an English diver who was at work on a sunken wreck off the Island of Diego Garcia had a visit from the same shark every day for a week. At first he had no trouble in scaring it away; it wag enough if he gave a turn to the escape valve in his helmet and let out a little air. But at the end of the week it had become very troublesome. The diver signaled for a knife and a looped rope, and then boldly held out his bare hand as a bait to the shark. The monster came on with a rush, and was turning on its back when it was stabbed by the diver, who then passed the loop around its body and sent it up to the surface. *>to> t&> Tbe Fay Car Agaim.

The strike of coal miners which has been on iu the Fourth district of Illinois since lu&t April husat lust resulted in terrible bloodshed. Pana has been the scene of excitement all summer, but at the town of Virtleu everything had been quiet until about a month ago, when the Chicago-Virden Co., imported 100 Negro miners from Birmingham, Ala. The traiu was met by a large body of armed union miners who threatened to shoot the first Negro that stepped from the cars. These Negroes were finally induced to return to the south aud the mines were not opened. The mine operators strengthened the stockade about their property and made preparations to open their mines at all hazards. Gov. Tanner refused to send state troops to protect "imported convict labor against citizens of the state," aud when the vigilant strikers learned that a special train on tho Chicago & Alton railroad was coming with 2U0 Nejfroos they gathered in force at the depot and at the stockade, armed with Winchesters and revolvers. As soon as the train reached the town firing was begun by the miners and by a large force of railroad detectives on the train and continued all along the route to the stockade. The moment t\ie train reuched the stockade the miners opened a desperate fire with Winchesters, revolvers and firearms of all descriptions. The armed men on the train answered with a steady tire. The miners and the train ».were enveloped in a cloud of smoke anil the shooting sounded like a continuous volley. Engineer Burt Tigar recp/tfed a bullet in the arm and droope*r from his seat. His fireman seizect^the throttle, pulled it open, and with a jerk the train was under speed, toward Springfield. Thv train stopped at the stockade but two minutes. Its departure did not cause the firing to cease. The tower of the stockade was filled with sharpshooters armed with Winchester, and they kept up a steady fire into the crowd of union miners. Eye witnesses say the dead miners were killed after the train had departed. The list of the dead is as follows: Edward Welsh, miner, Springfield; Frank Bilyeu, miner, Springfield; Albert Smith, min^r, M{- Olive^ Joe Kitterly, miner, Mt. Olive; Ernest Kent-" ner, miner, Mt. Olive; Ed Gree, miner, Mt. Olive; A. H. Breneman, miner, Girard; A. W. Morgan, guard inside stockade; Wm. W. Carman, "deputy sheriff' on the train; D. H. Kiley, Chicago & Alton detective. Six others on the train were wounded, one of whom, Wm. H. Clarkson. of Leavenworth, Kas., will die. J. F. Eyster, superintendent of the mine company's store, was fatally shot and beaten by the infuriated strikers because he attempted to take medical aid to the wounded inside the stockade, who number eight. There were 10 strikers wounded besides those killed. After the battle Gov. Tanner ordered j troops to Virden to disarm all armed persons and to prevent imported miners being taken into the stockade. The militia fired on a group of strikers who went too near the stockade and killed Tom Preston, a Chicago detective in the employ of the mine company. John M. Hunter, president of the Illinois district, United Mine Workers, was thrown from a moving- train by a railroad deputy and was probably fatally injured. Cuban Evacuation Progres*lng. Advices received at the war department indicate that the evacuation of Cuba by the Spanish forces is proceeding satisfactorily and smoothy. Manzanillo has been turned over to the Americans, and the concentration of Spanish troops at Cienfuegos is being actively pushed, about 1,500 men being brought there weekly from the ports on the south coast. KNICJMTS TfaMPLAFJ. The Triennial CoruUve at ritUburg a Very UrlllUnt Affair.

Paris: The government has issued special orders to the garrisons of towns near the capital to send immediately to Paris, 500 infantry each. The reinforcements will amount to 10T0OO men. All the troops will be supplied with two days' rations and 60 rounds of ball cartridge. Many lending men of France express fenr of there being serious troubles ahead for their country. M, MelineT the former premier, referring to the '"divided state of society, the violenceof polemics and the sectarian spirit displayed in politics," said that daily the principle of authority wa» undermined, the army was weakened and the institutions upon which rested the security of the nation were shaken. The adversaries of France, had no need to declare war, said M. Meline, They were content to await the exhaustion of France. Importance is attached to the abdication of Prince Victor in favor of Prinee Lonia Napoleon, as the pretender to the French throne. Prince Louis is a favorite with all he BoaapBratists and is an intimate of th« czar. M. Brisson, the premier, it is said takes a grave view of the matter. The present moment does not appear to be inopportune for a military conp d'etat. Spanish Mnut Leave Porto Rloo Oct. 18. The American evacuation commissioners in Porto Rico have informed the Spaniards it would be necessary to complete the evacuation of the island by October 18, undertaking to supply transportation for the remainder of the Spanish troops at that date if it should be necessary. Surrender. A dispatch from Walker, Minn., says: The Bear island or Pillager Indians agreed to surrender and war has been averted. It only remains for the terms to be arranged before the Uostiles will come into the agency. Oregon Republicans elected Joseph Simon, of Portland, a German-Hebrew, U. S. senator. Commodore Watson who commanded the Cuban blockading squadron, was injured in a railroad wreck near Sacramento, C*l., while on his way to take command of the Mare Island nary yard Doe* SfMlu Mean Treachery?* Madrid: The Spanish government announces its intention to maintain a strong force in Cuba until the treaty of peace with the United States is definitely signed. I'aele Sain Calli the Bluff. Washington: The officials of the war department, referring to the Madrid dispatch, said that there had been and would be no change in orders to the U. S. troops, and that the instructions given to the American military commission in Havana to take possession of the island on Dec. 1, irrespective of the presence or absence of the Spanish officials, would be rigorously adhered to. The commissioners, acting upon these instructions, have notified the Spaniards that all ports and customs receipts and the management of municipal affairs will pass into the hands of the American military commander in the island, and thus end Spanish rule in Cuba on that date. By Dec. 1 it expected that enough U. S. troops will be there to control affairs. Troop* Riot at Lexington, Ky. Provost Guard Albie Kitchen shot and killed Private Henry Nygren, Co. B, m h New York, at Lexington, Ky. When the news reached Camp Hamilton over 300 members of the 12th New York attempted to seize a train to go to Lexington to take Kitchen from jail and shoot him. Gen. Wiley and Col. Leonard were quickly notified of the uprising and they suppressed the mob by the most radical and prompt action, but not until a score of the leaders had been clubbed into submission, and two whole regiments had been called out to restore order. Destitution la Northern Cnba. U. 8. army officers who visited towns in the northern part of Santiago province report dreadful destitution and the urgent necessity of immediate relief. Men, women and children are naked and starving. Gen. Wood sent from Santiago 300,000 rations, clothing and cloth stuffs to these places. No armed men are to receive supplies, and free rations are to be given out to women and children only. The men, it is found, will not work as long as they can get free food. A find M gold1 quartz running $1,000 to the ton has been made near Skaguay. DR. FALCONER'S TEMPTATION, A) A SHORT STORY (Continued.) "No, no; you are quite mistaken, doctor," exclaimed the man, all his wildness of aspect returning and his eyes gleaming with a mad terror and suspicion. "There's nothing In it—nothing at all, except what little money I have, and a few curios I picked up in my travels. Let me have it at once, please—at once, without a single moment's delay!" "Don't be in a hurry," said Richard. "It Is quite safe, I assure you. If it be of so little value as you say, why excite yourself about it? How much might there be In it, then? It seemed to me pretty heavy." "Oh, very little; but as it Is all I have In the world, you needn't wonder that I am anxious about It. I must a9k you to give it to me at once; It will make my mind easier." "Don't be uneasy; I give you my word It's quite safe. Look here, I'm rather a fancier of curios myself; I don't mind giving you ten pounds on spec.for the belt Just as It stands. If you tell me it Is worth more, I will give it to you." "I wouldn't take ten pounds not that it is really worth more, but there are things In it that have a special value for me. I shouldn't think cf selling it on any term*?, and I must again ask you to let me have It In my own possession." "I will give you a hand red," said Richard mischievously, "and I will let you retain anything in It that you wish specially to keep." "I tell you I am not poinm to sell It on any terms whntevoi*." rejoined the other tt-stily, "&o we had bettor drop the subject. And I bos you will give It to me now without any further delay." "Yet I should think a hundred pounds would be something of a consideration to a man who has 'parted with the very last rag and stick he cau spare,'" said Richard. "Come, Pi; friend; you may not meet such a chance again; what do you say to five hundred pounds?" __!!Dr^_Falcon_er," replied the man excitedly, "either this is a very bad joke or you must have*lost your seneeB. For the last time I ask you to restore my property. If you do not, I will at once walk out of your house and put the matter in the hands of the police. Give me what belongs to me and let me go." "Very well," said Richard, "you ehail have it at once.^_ He left the room and returned in a minute with the belt and pistol in his hands. He found hte patient already half dressed. With frenzied haste he made a grasp for the belt, but Richard caught him by the wrist and held him as if In a vice, while he said sternly;— "Listen to me, madman! You act as if you think I want to rob you. Why, you idot, if that had been my design I need not have so much as lifted a finger; I had nothing to do but to sit still, and you would have been dead by this time, and nobody to ask a single question about you. Instead of that, I have brought you to my house, I have restored you to life and you repay me with Insult and abuse. Even yet, if I wanted to possess myself of this precious belt, I should only have to go to the nearest magistrate and certify you insane, to have you shut up in a Innatic asylum for the rest of your days. Much attention there would he paid to your ravings about being robbed of gold and jewels! That is what I could do if I were the villain you think me. Take your belt and be ashamed of yourself, you ungrateful wretch!" and he flung it with a crash upon the floor. One of the pouches burst open and the guineas rolled out in a golden stream. With a shriek the owner flung himself upon his knees to clutch them, when his new-found strength failed him all at once and he rolled upon his face In a dead faint. Richard knelt down, turned him upon his back, and sprinkled a few drops from the water-jug upon hie face. As he ^ d eo he was startled to hear a knock at the door of the room. Going hastily to open it, he found Mary. In a dressing-gown, a paper in her hand, her eyes wide open with anxious -suspense. "Oh, Richard!

She turned to go down-stairs, and Richard closed the door and made haste to pick up the coins which were scattered over the floor. "Beet she should not see them," he sKid to himself as he returned them to the pouch and fastened the belt securely round the patient's waist. "Come in, Mary," in answer to another knock. "Ah! you have the brandy. Stop! not that way," as she was putting a wine-glass to his lips; "he won't be able to swallow. Just hand me my hypodermic case; you'll find it in my coat-pocket, hanging at the back of the door." With practiced quickness he prepared tb" syringe and injeetdK a few drops into his patient's arm. To his surprise Mary was not at his side to help him, and when he turned to look for her she was standing near the lamp, gazing with fixed eyes and parted lips on something which she held close to the light. "Richard, Richard, look here!" she exclaimed excitedly. Richard looked. It was the little daguerreotype he had picked up in the man's room and slipped into his pocket almost without looking at it. "Oh, that's only a likeness of somebody that I found in his room as we were leaving, and thought I had better take with me. Put It on th« mantlepiece; he may want to have it again." "But, Richard, do you mean to say that you don't recognize it? Why, good heavens! don't you see it'» * VtV&- nees of mother?" "Of your mother?" he exclaimed, snatching it from her hand. He held it close to the lamp, and had to turn it at •several different angles before he could catch the faded tints on the ehiniug silver plate from which they seemed obliterated, and when he did so he could not repress a lou* exclamation of astonishment.

"Why, Jack," cried Mary, quite unable to understand, "how on earth can you play the rich uncle? And what is this belt you are talking about?"

She was down on her knees beside him, trying to raise his head on her breast, chafing his hands and covering his unconscious face with kisses. "See the ^ir is reviving him already," said Richard. "Now, Mary, control yourself; don't speak to him till I tell you; I have something to say to him first. Put out the lamp and sit down in that chair, away from the window.

"Yes, Colonel!" cried the sergeant, raising himself mechanically, and lifting bis hand in a military salute. Suddenly his dazed eye cleared and he lookeds round with keen, suspicious glance.

When I mad* my COW AND BEAR. A mau who was brought up on a farm In Cherryfield, Maine, recently told a reporter for the New York Sun several stories illustrative of the courage of animals in defending fheir j young. One of the best of the stories has to do with a time when the boy was twelve years old. If hie youthfulness is taken Into the account, the adventure will be seen to have been a pretty lively one. One of our cows had hidden her oalf, and I had set out to find him. I heard the cow lowing In the woods and went to where she was, in a clearing grown | up with ferns and raspberry bushes. I Above the bushes I saw her back and hornB, and could tell that she was fight- Ing with something that I could not see. She was standing her ground, facing about so as to keep her enemy, whatever it was, always under her eye. She Woald 8ee Him Soon. Mr. Greville was persuaded when he was over 60 years of age to attend a spiritualistic seance. Foster, the presiding medium, wa3 in great form and the revelations were astounding. Greville sat silent, and his aged, wizened face was as emotionless as a mask. Suddenly the medium grew excited, and said to the old gentleman: "A female form is bending over you. Oh, the extraordinary likeness!" Greville sighed. "She lifts her hands to bless you." Greville sighed again. "It ia your mother." "Ah, poor thing!" said Greville. "I am glad." "She emlles. She says all is well with her." Greville sighed again and said: "I am delighted. "She says she will see you noon. You are old and you must meet her before long." Then Greville quietly observed: "That's very true. I'm going to^take tea with her this evening.**—London Graphic. I thought of nothing bigger than a dog or fox, and was pressing forward to get a look at it, when a bear suddenly rose up on his haunches, standing head and shoulders above the bushes. At that the cow made a rush for him, with horas lowered. The bear struck at her with his paw, and then grappled her with both forepaws by the head. The cow, under full headway, was too much for him to stand up against. She kno«ke<l him over, breaking his held, and the way *he horned him and butted him about among the bushes was a caution to bears. The sight was too much for my. nerves, and I went up a tree. It was needless, so far as danger from the bear was concerned, for the cow had him whipped in the first round, and he got away as soon as he could, whimpering and biting at his sides in the places where the cow's horns had pricked him. From the tree I could see the calf where he was hidden. He was what I had come for, but I did not feel like getting down until I was 6ure the cow had got quiet But she knew her friends, and when I went to the calf and set him on his feet,—he was hiding, like a fawn, close to the ground,— ehe made no objection, but went quietly back to the pasture, with the calf following.

Tom Paine's A piece of cable recently found in a historic dwelling at the Palls of Schuylkill recalls the first suspension bridge of a single arch ever attempted in this .country. The idea originated with Thomas Paine, "the great commoner of mankind,*' while he was spending the summer of 17S6 at thr hotel near the falls of SchuykilL The idea was suggested to him by the racehanism of a spider web, and he began to work upon plans for an Iron bridge to span the river at that point. To lay his model before the French Academy of Science, Paine went to France In 1787, but that country was already on the road to revolution, and had no time for the study of bridges. In England Paine forgot his scientific mission and became absorbed In political affairs, which ended with his imprisonment and gave to the world T h e Right* of Man," but lost to it for many years advanced scientific bridge-building.— 1-aUadelahia RsoonL Papa'c Idea of It.

Backache was quite pronounced, being especially severe when I sat or stood in a stooping position for any length of time. Other symptoms usually attending disordered kidneys plainly indicated what caused the difficulty. Doan's Kidney Pills corrected the aonoyanoe in a very short time, and I have not noticed, up to date, any indication of a recurrence.

A Lapeer flour merchant let the story get out that while he was stooping over his flour bin, a £150 diamond ring had slipped from his finger into the flour. He appeared to be greatly worried over his loss, got a notice in the local paper, but finally announced with a sigh that it would have to be given up as hopelessly lost; that he supposed it would turn up in a sack of flour, but he had no idea which one. The guileless man's trade took an awful boom and for a week he had to hire extra help to, fill sacks of flour out of that bin.

Elizabeth Flint Wade has an illustrated paper on "Photography; Its Marvels" in September St. Nicholus. The author says: "The first accounts of this great discovery are very entertaining reading. Prof. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph, was in Paris when the news was published, and at once went to see Daguerre's wonderful pictures. In describing them afterward, he said that moving objects made no impression on the plate; for a picture taken of a crowded boulevard showed it as if entirely deserted, with the exception of a man having his shoes polished. The man's feet, he said, were well defined, because they were kept stationary. But he was without head or body for these were in motion. To America belongs the honor of making the first photographic portrait, the artist being Professor Draper, who was afterward president of the University of New York. His victim was his sister, Miss Catharine Draper. He powdered her face, that the likeness might be more quickly impressed on the sensitive plate, and for thirty minutes Miss Draper sat— or at least tried to sit as immovable as a statute. The first class in photography WHS formed in Boston in tho spring bf 1840 by Daguerre's agent, Gourad of Paris. The Rev. Everett Hale, then a student in Harvard became an enthusiastic member of the class. In his diary under date of April 1, 1840, is this entry:- "On my way home I stopped at the shop and got my daguerreotype thermometor. There seems to be a great demand; there were three or four others there." L O C A L N E W S , lector, at the same time demanding a receipt, which waa given. Green Wilson, owned by Jas. Boaob of Anderson, was the winner of tbe 2:25 trot at the Fowlerville fair on the second day. While a resident of Genoa town* ship, Livingston Co., named Richardson was cleaning out an old open well on his place a few days ago, he came across a wooden box which contained the skeleton of an infant. The box bad evidently been in water for two or three years. The Pinckney and Chelsea ball teams crossed bats at the latter place last Saturday afternoon, the home team winning by a greater majority than the visiting team had scores After the first few innings, it was not a question of who would beat but of what the score would he. For fear of running short of figures, we will not publish the score.

The big game is all down on the earth. People that git thare grub throo the plan ov doin dirt to honwt labor, are the most particklar about how it shud be et at the tabull. Don't force a tockative child inter silence. Tockin may be it* only natchural talent, un yood better sharpen it than to blunt It off too short. Any politickal measure witch the rltch men fight, is a good measure for the poor. You don't wanter let the ritch measure everything jn thare own measure. Don't trust a man Lekaws he is ritch. Most peeple git ritch by bein trusted too far. The fat cow needs to be fenced outer the corn, jist the same as the lean one. Wen a man works fur yoo, un yoo pay him less than he urns—that's livin on profit. If you pay him in store goods—that's gettin yoor work in on him two times. You can't wip edducashun inter a child, nor wip appetite outer it. The slow process ov eternally feedin is the only way to keep a child mentally and stommickly full. It will be a long time before peeple git so- orful good on earth that Saint Peter will let each one £0 inter the wardrobe un select thare own crown on arrivin in heaven. It is dangerous to remain cool in a crowd ov hot heds in time ov war. They wud hang a man fur showin' simtums ov common sense kwicker than fur lickin his wife. Practice that witch will give yoo profit in after life. It's no use for a girl to learn how to stand on her head, so long as the law uv gravitashun is bound to pull her skirts down towards the earth's center. A man generally catches the same sort of religyun that is contagus in his naborhood, votes as pa did, un expects his wife to make the same sort ov pies his ma made. A man is seldom bettt-r'n the sile he grows up in. 1 Don't expect to take pie outer t h e ' cupburd wen yoo have only put moldy bread crusts in; nor milk cream outer the cow that is fed on bean shells un shavins; nor git wisdum outer the boy hooze edducashun is made up outer fambly tradishun un witch stories.

An eminen t authorit y says we ought to have a standin g arm y of one hun - dred and fifty thousan d men . Tha t would be imperialis m indeed . Whatever th e peace results of this war, it would be a misfortun e to have tha t expensive show and parad e fastened upon us year by year. Ther e is no necessity for it, and it smacks too much of th e foreign systems which ignore th e taxpayer in behalf of the soldier. We can get up a larger army within a brief space of time tha n any othe r nation , and the delays of discipline and organizatio n would be less expensive and destructiv e tha n a continua l army tax and an utterl y useless display of militar y power. Of the several causes of fear, that of thunder and lightning is said by President Stanley Hall to be the most common, because of the supposed helplessness of humanity to avert or neutralize a stroke of lightning. Yet this is not always the case. During the civil war Col. Rutherford B. Hayes and a little ©quad of men were reco^noitering ia the mountains of West Virginia, when a severe thunder storm broke over them and they took shelter under a clump of trees. Witt f single bolt, five of the men fell senseless and were mourned by their companions as dead. Col. Hayes detailed two men to each of the unconscious soldiers, and himself demonstrated the methods used in resuscitating the drowned. After ten minutes of ineffectual effort, the soldiers declared it folly to try longer; the men were dead. The colonel ordered no relaxing of work. In twenty minutes two of the men showed signs of life; in forty minutes two others, and after an hour and a half the breath of the fifth came with a faint flutter, and all were saved. "Make a point of telUn* this experience," President Hayes unfed to say; "it may savt other In this pastora l lette r which Paul , the old minister , is writing to Timo - thy, the young minister , the family recor d is brough t out. Pau l practical - ly says: "Timothy , what a good grandmothe r you had ! You ought to be bette r tha n moat folks, because not only was your mothe r good, but your grandmothe r was good also. Two precedin g generation s of piety ought to give you a mighty push in the right direction. " The fact was tha t Timoth y neede d encouragement . He was in poor health , having a weak stomach , and was a dyspeptic , and Pau l prescribed for him a tonic , "a little wine for thy stomach' s sake"—not much wine, but a little wine, and only as a medicine . And if the wine the n had been as much adulterate d with logwood and strychnin e as our moder n winee, he would not have prescribed any. But Timothy , not stron g physically, is encourage d spirituall y by the recita l of grandmotherl y excellence , Pau l hintin g to him, as I hin t this day to you, tha t God sometime s gather s up as in a reservoir, away back of th e active generation s of today, a godly influence, and then in response to prayer lets down the power upon childre n and grandchildre n and great grandchildren . The world is 'woefully in want of a table of statistic s in regard to what is the protractednes s and Immensit y of influenc e of one good woman in the churc h and world. We have account s of how much evil has been wrought by a woman who lived nearl y a hundre d years ago, and of how man y criminal s her descendant s furnishe d for the penitentiar y and the gallows, and how man y hundred s of thousand s of dollars they cost our countr y in their arraign - men t and prison support , a3 well aa j in the propert y they burglarized and destroyed . But will- not some one come out with brain comprehensiv e j enough , and hear t warm enough , and I pen keen enough to give us the facts ; in regard to some good woman of a \ hundre d years ago, and let us know j how man y Christia n "men and women | and reformer s and useful people have been found amon g her descendants , and how man y asylums and colleges and churche s they built, and how man y million s of dollars they contribute d for humanitaria n and Christia n purposes? The good women whose tombstone s were plante d in the eighteent h centur y fl.rp mnrp ftiivo frvr gnr>d tn thft nineteent h centur y than they were before, as the good women of the nineteent h centur y will be more alive for good in the twentiet h centur y tha n now. Mark you, I have no idea tha t the grandmother s were any bette r tha n thei r granddaughters . You canno t get very old people to talk much about how thing s were when they were boys and girls. They have a reticenc e and a non - committalis m which makes me thin k they feel themselve s to be the custodian s of the reputatio n of thei r early comrades . While our dear old folks are rehearsin g the follies of the present , if we put them on the witness stand and cross-examin e them as to how thing s •wer e seventy year* ago the silence become s oppressive. The celebrate d Frenchmen , Volney, visited thi s countr y in 1796, and he says of woman' s diet in those times : "If a premiu m was offered for a regimen most destructiv e to health , non e could be devised more efficacious for these endg tha n tha t in use amon g these people. " Tha t eciipses our lobster salad at midnight . Everybody talks about the dissipation of moder n society and how womanl y healt h goes down unde r it, but it was worse a hun - dred years ago, for th e chaplai n of a Frenc h regimen t in our revolutionar y war wrote in 1782, in his "Book of American Women, " saying: "They are tall and well-proportioned , thei r feature s are generally regular, thei r complexions are generally fair and withou t color. At twenty years of age the women have no longer th e freshness of youth . At thirt y or forty the y arc decrepit. " In 1812 a foreign consu l wrote a book entitled , "A Sketch of the Unit - ed State s at the Commencemtn t of the Presen t Century," and he says of the women of those times: "At the age of thirt y all thei r charm s have disappeared. " One glance at the portrait s of the women a hundre d years ago and thei r style of dres3 makes us wonder how they ever got thei r breath . All thi s makes me thin k tha t th e express rail trai n is no mor e an improvemen t on th e old cana l boat, or the telegraph no mor e an improvemen t on the olfltime saddle-bags , tha n the women of our day are an Improvemen t en the women of the last century . But still, notwithstandin g tha t those time s were so much worse tha n ours, ther e was a glorious race of godly women , seventy and a hundre d years ago, who held the world back from sin and lifted It toward virtue, and without their a n t ed and sanctified influence before this the last good influenc e would have perished from the earth . Indeed , all over this land ther e ar t seated to-da y — not so much in churches , for man y of them are too feeble to come—a great man y aged grandmothers . They sometime s feel tha t the world has gone past them , and they have an idea tha t they are of little account . Thei r head sometime s gets achin g from the racket of the grandchildre n down stairs or in the next room . They steady themselve s by the banister s as they go up and down. When they get a cold it hangs on them longer tha n it used to. They canno t bear to have the grandchildre n punished even when they deiierve it, and have so relaxed thei r ideas of family discipline tha t they would spoil all the youngster s of the househol d by too great leniency . These old folks are the resort when great trouble s come, and ther e is a calmin g and soothin g power in the touc h of an aged han d tha t is almost supernatural . They feel they are almost throug h with the journe y of life and read the old Book more than they used to, hardl y knowing which most they enjoy, the Old Testamen t or the New, and often stop and dwell tearfully over the family record halfway between. We hail them to-day , whethe r in the house of God or at the homestead . Blessed is tha t househol d tha t has in it a grandmothe r Lois. Where she is, angels are hoverin g roun d and God is in the room . May her last days be like those lovely daya tha t we call India n summer ! Is it not time tha t you and I do two things—swing open a pictur e gallery of the wrinkled faces and stooped shoulders of the past, and call down from thei r heavenly throne s the godly grandmothers , to give them our thank s and the n to persuad e the mother s of toda y tha t they arc living for all time , and tha t against the sides of every cradle in which a child is rocked beat the two eternities ? Her e we have an untried , undiscussed, and unexplore d subject. You often hear about your influenc e upon your own children , I am not talkin g about that . What about your influenc e upon the twentiet h century , upon the thirtiet h century , upon the fortiet h century , upon the year two thousand , upon the year four thousand , if the world lasts so long? The world stood four thousan d years before Chris t came ; it is not unreasonabl e to suppose tha t it may stand four thousan d years after His arrival. Fou r thousan d years the world swung off in sin, four thousan d years it may be swinging back into righteousness . Bj the ordinar y rate of multiplicatio n of the world's populatio n in a century , your descendant s will be over thre e hun - dred, and by two centurie s over fifty thousand , and upon every one of them , you, the mothe r of today, will have an infl f d il. And if In . four centurie s your descendant s shall have with their name s filled a scroll of hundred s of thousands , will some angel from heaven, to whom is given the capacit y to calculat e the numbe r of the stars of heaven and the sands of the seashore, step down and tell us how man y descendant s you will have in the four thousandt h year of the world's possible continuance ? Do not let the grandmother s any longer thin k tha t they are retired , and sit clear back out of sight from the world, feeling tha t they have no relatio n to it. The mother s of the last centur y are today in the person of thei r descendants , in the Senates , the Parliaments , the palaces, the pulpits, the bankin g houses, the professiona l chairs, the prisons, the almshouses , the compan y of midnigh t brigands, the cellars, the ditche s of this century . Your have been thinkin g about the importanc e of having the right influenc e upon our nursery. You have been thinkin g of the importanc e of gettin g those two littt e feet on the right path . You have been thinkin g of your child' s destiny for the next eighty years, if it should pass on to be an octogenarian . Tha t is well, but my subject sweeps a thousan d years, a million years, a quadrillio n of years. I canno t stop at lone cradle, I am looking at the cradles tha t reach all aroun d the world and across all time . I am not thinkin g of mothe r Eunice . I am talking of grandmothe r Lois. The only way you can tell the force of a curren t is by sailing up stream ; or the force of an ocean wave, by runnin g the ship against tt. Runnin g along with it we canno t ap"pVeciaie ihe force. In estimatin g materna l Influenc e we generally run along with it down the stream of time , and so we don' t understan d <$e full force. , Let us come up to it from the eternit y side, after it has been working on for centuries , aad see all the good it has doue and all the evil it has accomplishe d multiplie d in magnificent or appallin g compoun d inter - est. The difference between tha t moth - er's Influenc e on her childre n now and the influenc e when It has been multi - plied in hundred s of thousand s of lives. Is the difference between the Mississippi river away up at th e top of the continen t startin g from the little Lake Itasca , seven miles long and one wide, and its mout h at the Gulf of Mexico, where navies might ride, between the birth of tha t river and its burial In the sea tbe Missouri pours in, and the Ohio pours in, and the Arkansas pours in, and the Red and White and the Yasoo rivers pour in, and all the State s an ft Territorie s between the Allegheny and Rocky mountain s make contributions . Now, in orde r to test the power of a mother' s influence , we need to come is off the ocean of eternit y and sail uj toward the one cradle , and we find ten thousan d tributarie s of influenc e pouring in and pourin g down. But it is after all one great river of power rolling on and rolling for eve'. Who can fathom it? Who can brldga it? Who can stop it? Had not mother s bette r be intensifyin g thei r prayers? Had they not bette r be elevating thei r example? Had they not bette r bo rousin g them - selves with the consideratio n tha t by thei r faithfulnes s or neglect they are startin g an influenc e which will be stupendou s after the last mountai n of eart h is flat, and the last sea has dried up, and the last flake of the ashes of a consume d world shall have been blown away, and all the telescope s of othe r worlds directe d to the trac k aroun d which our world once swung shall discover not so much as a cinde r of the burned-dow n and swept-off planet . In Ceylon ther e is a granit e colum n thir - ty-six square feet in size, which is though t by the natives to decide the world's continuance . An angel with robe spun from zephyrs is once a centur y to descend and sweep th e hem of tha t robe across the granite , and when by tha t attritio n the colum n is worn away they say time will end. But by tha t process tha t granit e colum n would be worn out of existence before moth - er's influenc e will begin to giveaway. • • • God fill the eart h and the heaven s with such grandmothers ; we must some day go up and than k these dear old souls. Surely God will let us go up and tell them of the results of thei r influence . Among our first question s in Heaven will be, "Where is grandmother? " They will poin t her out, for we would hardl y know her, even if we had seen her on earth , so bent over with years once and ther e so straight , so dim of eye throug h the blindin g of earthl y tear s and now her eyes as clear as heaven, so fufl of aches and pains once and now so agile with celestial health , th e wrinkles bloomin g into carnatio n roses, and her step like th e roe on the mountains . Yes, I must see her, my grandmothe r on my father' s side, Mar r McCoy, descendan t of the Scotch . When I first spoke to an audienc e in Glasgow, Scotland , and felt somewha t diffident, being a stranger , I began by telling them my grandmothe r was a Scotcnwoman , and then ther e went up a shout of welcome which made me feel as easy as I do here. I must see her. You must see those women of the early part of the nineteent h centur y and those of the eighteent h century , the answer of whose prayers is in your welfare today. God bless all the aged women up and (iftwn rho lan.l an^ in all lands! What a happy; thin g for Pomponiu s AttlcG s io say wnen making the funeral address of his mother : "Though I have resided with her sixtyseven years, I was jnever once recon - ciled to her, because ther e never happened the least discord between us, and consequentl y ther e was no need of reconciliation. " Make it as easy for the old folks as you can. When they are Bick, get for them the best doctors . Give them your arm when the street s are slippery. StayVith them all the time you can. Go hoin e and see the old folks. Fin d the placje for them in tie hymnbook . Never be ashame d if they prefer styles of appare l which are a little antiquated . Never say anythin g tha t implies tha t they are in the way. Make the road for the last mile aa smoot h as you can. Oh, my! how you will miss her when she is gone! How much would I give to see my mother ! I have so man y thing s I would like to tell her, thing s tha t have happene d in the thirt y years since she went away. Morning , noon and night let us than k God for the good influence s tha t have come down from good mother s all the way back. Timothy , don' t forget your grandmothe r Lois. And han d down to other s this patrimon y of blessing. Pass along the coronets . Make religion an heirloo m from generatio n to generation . Mothers , consecrat e yourselves to God and you will help consecrat e all the age following! Do not dwell so much on your hardship s tha t you miss your chanc e by wielding an influenc e tha t shall look down upon you from the towers of an endless future. I know Marti n Luthe r was right when he consoled his wife over th e death of their daughte r by saying: "Don' t take on so, wife; remembe r tha t this is a hard world for girls." Yes, I go JurtLe r and say, It frs a hard world for women. Aye, I go furthe r and say, It is a hard world for men .

A fltfht between tlie Spanish and U. S. troops was narrowly averted at Manzauillo, Cuba, when Col. Ray arrived with a force of American fcoldien* from Santiago to take possession oJ the city. Col. Parron refused to surrender, stating that the evacuation had been postponed for three days. He also demanded that Col. Ray withdraw or conceal hib An^s. There was a stormy interview during which it seemed that hostilities were about to occur, but it was finally agreed to cable for further instructions before taking action. This was done and Col. Ray received word that the Spaniard was in the right, the postponement having been granted while the Americans were on the way to Manzanillo. Mrs. McKinley's Brother Shot Dead. Geo. D. Saxtou, a brother of Mrs. William McKinley, was shot dead at 0 p. m., in front of the residence of Mrs. Eva Althouse, a widow, at Canton, O., where he is presumed to have gone to make a call. Five shots were fired, three of which entered his body. Mrs. Anna C. George has been placed under arrest on suspicion of being the murderer. Mrs. George obtained a divorce from her husband two years ago and the latter charged Saxton with being at the bottom of it and sued him for alleged alienation of his wife's affections. The case was compromised last week. It is alleged that Mr«. George had threatened to kill both Saxton and Mrs. Althouse. Mrs. George pleaded not guilty to the charge of murdering Saxton, and the defense will attempt to prove an alibi Oar Large Trade With China. Special reports from U. S. Consul Johnson at Auioy and Consul Fowler at Che Foo show an enormous increase in the foreign trade of China and point out the great value of that part of it originating in the United States. The value of the United States' trade in China represents 15 per cent of the total, being more than double the German trade and second only to Great Britain. As Consul Fowler puts it: "The value of United States exports to China is greater than lhat of all continental Europe and Asiatic Russia. Gen. Le«'i Troop* to Move.

A Fleshy Consumptive Did you ever see one ? Did you ever hear of one ? Most certainly not. Consumption is a disease that invariably causes loss of flesh. If you are light in weight, even if your cough is only a slight one, you should certainly take Scoffs EmuslioD of cod liver oil <wiih hypophosphites. No remedy is such a perfect prevent* ive to consumption. \ Just the moment your tfiroi begins to weaken and yoi, find you are losing flesh, you should begin to take it. And no other remedy has cured so many cases of consumption. Unless you are far advanced with this disease, Scott's Emulsion will bold every inducement* to you (or a perfect cure.

KINDNESS TO A MULE. A Young Ottlcer'it Experience Proved II to bo L'n»le»{. Tbe mule was undoubtedly a bad mule, but Lieutenant Kellenberger, of Buttery G, First Ohio Light Artillery, said that his disposition had been ruined and his confidence in human nature destroyed by improper treatment. "He has been mistreated," said Lieutenant Kellrnbergcr; "I will show you how this mule should be treated." Then the lieutenant, with the assistance of an orderly, saddled the mistreated mule in iront of his own tent. The mule offered neither resistance nor protest. The lieutenant patted him on the neck. "He needs kind but firm treatment," said he. Then Lieutenant Kellenberger mounted. Th« mistreated mule danced three bars of a two-step, executed an individual hop,t skip and'jump with each leg, and projected Lieutenant Kellenberger into the air directly beneath a thorn tree. "Catch that man-eating monster and beat him to death," said Lieutenant Kellenberger, as the hospital corps assleted him to his tent. Then several men came out of a company street and erected a tablet, reading thus: "Where Keller Tell, May 28, 1898." WANTED—A second hand small Hounn Oak heater; also a small cook stove.

The past week we went tbrough our books to ascertain just when the time on each paper expired and those whose subscription is past due will find the date following the name on the margin. This date will tell you the time your paper was paid up to and thereby you can tell for yourself just what you owe this office. Now friends, you claim times are better than ever before, and in the past you have not been crowded by us; and if each one of you whose paper is marked will see to it immediately that the small amount due us is paid, so much quicker we can add tbe many dollars together which will form tbe sum we ar«> obliged to raise to meet our obligations. Each one thinks, perhaps, that it is only a small sum, so will not be in a hurry to pay; but it is the single kernels ot corn that fills the measure. You all know how hard it is to do businesi and meet bills with your money in some other persons pocket. Now who will be first to have their subscription squared on oar books.— Ed. SALE NOW GOING ON.

CHAPTER I. It is come fifteen years or more since the quiet, hundrum little village of Sledgemeve became famous for a brief period, on account of the commiccion of a dreadful crime. Sledgemere is an out-of-the-way spot in Sussex, having to this day no railway station within nine miles, and boasting only two gentlemen's residences aud a vicarage. For nearly thirty years the paraon had preached, and his parishioners had listened. There had been squabbles between the Vicar and the Squire about chancel rights. There had been good seasons and bad; nine-day scandals had been cherished and nursed; but never before had the sober, slowgoing people of the village been 60 utterly startled from their dreamy, every- day existence as they were on that memorable morning of the 14th of July, 18—. About half a mile from the Squire's house and on the opposite side of the village there was a pretty old mansion called Froyles, which had been occupied for a considerable time by an elderly bachelor named Hughe*. Very little was known of him, although when he first came into the neighborhood he brought with him introductions to the Squire, from whom he Tentod the house. Considering that he lived almost entirely alone, lie kept up a somewhat large establishment. Occasionally an. elderly maiden-lady named Mle^ Pyccroft, who was supposed to be his niece, came and paid him a three or four mouths' visit; but the old man wa3 of such retiring habits that he could not endure for any length of time any interference in his T<jflys of life. Ro Mtos Pyecroft's yjsit*. invariably terminated in a stormy eruption on his part, caused by some fancied liberty he imagined her to have taken in the ordering of the household, or by some grumbling on the part of the servants, who by no means relished her trespassing upon their preserves. Mr. Hughes spent his time chiefly among his books and coins, of both of which he prided himself upon having a large and valuable collection. His household consisted chiefly of a butler, a footman, a cook, and two maid-servants, besides two out-of-door men, the coachman and gardener. In such a dull spot it was no easy task to get Indoor men-servants to remain. The master of the house very seldom entertained, and even deplored having to preside at the two or three annual dteser-parties, at which, the Squire, the Vicar and the local doctor, accompanied by their respective wives, wore hia chief and generally his only guests. These dinners were indeed but slow affairs, for the only post-prandial diversion ever offered was an inspection of Mr. Hughes' coins, which were displayed in their glass cases all around the drawing-room. After the departure of the gueets, these treasures were re-deposited in the great oaken cabinets In the library, to lie by until the next festive occasion. Among them were many valuable antique gold and silver pieces, and it was a common remark of the Squire's, when he dined at Froyles, that he would not like to keep so much bullion in his house, for fear of waking up eome fine morning and finding his throat cut! Habit, however, had become a second nature, and the possession of these coins caused Mr. Hughes no anxiety. They were not things people could steal, he always declared, as the real vahie consisted in their antiquity, and it would be a hard matter to dispose of them. "But you might melt them down," the Squire suggested. "Melt your grandmother down!" Mr. Hughe3 had replied Irritably, as if the very motion of melting down such treasures for the sake of paltry dross were offensive to him. It is necessary, in order to follow the revelations contained in these pages, to be particular as to the description of the inmates of Mr. Hughes' establishment at the time the narrative commences. The cook, Mrs. Young, was an elderly woman, who had been five years in her present situation. The two maid*, Sarah and Anne Dodson, were eisters, botti young women, and natives of the village of Sledgemere. The footman, Edward •Bartlett, was a youth of nineteen, and had lately been engaged with an excellent two years' cWacter from hta former master. The butler, William Luke, was a man of oTer forty years of age, whe had entered Mr. Hughes' service atou^ ILJ Mme time as Bartleit° : J -j: In con—quence of the difficulty ne had experienced in obtaining servants, Mr. Hughes had taken Luke into his service without a character, The man had been discharged by his late employer for impertinence and suspected pilfering of wine; but Mr. Hughes liked his looks, and, after cautioning him as to his future behavior, consented to engage him. Of the coachman and the gardener it is scarcely necessary to say anything, because at the time of the dreadful event about to be described they were proved to be in their houses with their" respective wives and children. On the 13th of July, 18—, Mr. Hughes gave one of his solemn dinner parties. As usual, the coins were displayed after dinner, and the old gentleman ! r'.d forth with more than his ordinary zeal upon their history, value and merit. After the guests had taken their departure, Luke, the butler, assisted by Edward Bartlett, removed the cases, under Mr. Hughes' supervision, and placed them in the cabinets in the library where they were ordinarily kept. It was supposed that Mr. Hughes did not retire until long after midnight. He was in the habit of sitting up late and jotting down the occurrences of the day, and writing out orders for the servants to carry out on the following morning. He was heard by the ccok to be moving about down-stairs after the clock Etruck one; and the under-honsema. id, Anne Dodson, declared in her evidence that she heard her master come upstairs and go into his bedroom just as the great hall clock chimed the three-quarters after one. This witness moreover declared that she was suffering from toothache on that night and could get no rest, so she wa.3 trying to read herself to sleep. Hearing Mr. Hughes' step on the stairs, she looked at her watch and was astonished to find that it was so late. Soon afterwards the clock below etruck two, and this fact impressed the time upon her mind. CHAPTER II. On the 14th of July, the cook, MrS. Young, was the first person to come downstairs. She. called the maids by rapping on their bed-room wall, as was her custom, and then knocked at the door of the room where Edward Bartlett, the footman, slept. Mrs. Young came down at half-past six. She was not in the habit of call- Ing the butlor. as he was generally very punctual in rising. On this particular morning, however, he happened to be unusually late. After having lighted the kitchen fire, Mrs. Young proceeded to open the library shutters. Upon doing so she noticed at onoe the extreme disorderliness of the room. A chair lay broken on the floor, and with it a table-cloth heaped with books and other articles, as if it had been dragged suddenly off the writing-table. Upon closer investigation she found near the chair a !ar?e pool of blood and pieces of what looked like human hair. Horrorstricken, she searched on. More traces of blood were upon the oak boards and the stone flags of toe hall outside. They seemed to lead across to the drawing-room opposite, while upon the library door were the smeared marks of a man's blood-stained hand. Terrified nearly out of her settees, Mrs. Young had not the courage to let the light into the drawing-room, but, rushing to the foot of the staircase, she screamed loudly for help, and then fainted. When she recovered consciousness, she found all the servants running about wildly, and she learned that her master's body had been found in the drawing-room with the back of his skull beaten in and his throat cut. Luke, upon hearing Mrs. Young's screams, had rushed defwn-stairs partially dressed, aad without his boots. It was be who first opened the.shutters in the drawing-room, and, In doing so, had broken a pane of glass. Upon the arrival of the police Luke appeared so dull and confused, so unable to give an account of himself and his doings at the time he had gone to bed on the previous night, that he was arrested on suspicion. Moreover, there was blood upon hia shirt and trousers, and also upon his socke. He declared afterward* that his socks were stained from his having trodden in the blood when he first came down-stairs, and the other marks must have come from the cut in his hand when he broke the window in the drawing-room. Hia confused state, he owned, was caused by his drinfefc* off a bottle of iherry which h« bad purloined the sight tore, afU.T tte guests had iflfi the din-, ing-room. The cabinets in which the coins had been placed were found broken open and ransacked, and no traces of Mr. Hughes' treasures were to be found. Near the body of the murdered man lay a short New Zealander's club, with bloo4 upon It. Thlfl usually hung in the hall, with similar weapons, which composed a trophy. But the fact which told most against Luke was a large clasp-knife which was known to have belonged to him buried in the dust-heap out In the back yard. The stains upon this also bore witness to the purpose for which it had been used. At the trltf! William Luke pleaded "Not Guilty;" but circumstances pointed xzry 'tsplclously against him. Edward I^rt'.ett, the footman, gave evidence which told greatly against the prisoner, though the young fellow showed cm evident wish to say all he could in his favor. Under cross-examination, Bartlett had to own that he had several times heard Luke eay that "It was quite time the old beggar—hie master—was knocked in the head, and that if be had a heap of coins like Mr. Hughes' he would not be long before he sold them and went off to Australia," The day before the murder Luke had been much put out by his master's finding faulk-a-t-fh'e wnv in which the silver wa«ricept, and lie siirt to Bartlett In the pantry that he 'nd had enough of Mr. Hughes' nonsense, and he did net intend to put up with it much longer. Bartlett swore that Luke was much upset throughout the day on which the dinner-party had taken place, and had been drinking freely, though he had not taken enough to make hia behavior noticeable. The two maids, Sarah and Anne Dodson, also gave evidence, but there was nothing particular to be elicited from them. The jury, after prolonged trial, brought in a verdict of "Guilty," and William Luke was condemned to death. A week before the execution was to take place, however, it was rumored that the police had fresh suspicions, and that there was reason to believe that Luke was not the guilty man after all. So far did these rumors prove correct that Luke was reprieved, but detained during her Majesty's pleasure. Much to the world's astonishment, suspicion seemed to have fallen upon the young footman, Edward Bartlett, and still more were people surprised when it was reported that neither he nor Anne Dodson, the under-housemald, was to be found. The day after the conclusion of the trial Ibey bad leftr-tliuh1 HAPPY MOTHEBS AND HEALTHY CHILDBEN. Lydia E.

" I am grateful to say that after taking three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was considerably better, and after using three more it brought me where I am to-day. I am well, and the mother of a threemonths' old baby. k* Doctors had failed to help me. I have no one to thank but Mrs. Pink ham aud her wonderful remedy." Mrs. ELLA DUNGAN, Reeder's.

When he was born I was sick only fifteen minutes, whereas with my other children I was sick for two or three days, and also suffered with my left leg, and could get nothing to relieve the pain but morphine. My leg did not trouble me at all this time. I had no after pains and was not as weak as I had been before. %lI cannot praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound too highly. May God bless you in your noble work." Mrs. J. W. PRUE.TT, Medford, Oregon, says: ** My health, also the baby's, we owe to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." Mrs. JOHN W.

Seventeen months ago I goi some of your Vegetable Compound, and after taking half a bottle was much relieved. I took four bottles and was cured. Now I have a big baby boy which 1 feel I owe to your Compound. Many thanks for your kind advice." A Million Women Have Beeo Benefited by Mrs. PiBkham'a Advice and Medictae lodgings In Lewes, and nothing more was known of them. Weeks passed by and still the police were unable to discover the slightest trace of the missing man and woman. Sarah Dodson, the elder sister, was arrested on a charge of complicity; but she was soon set at liberty again, as there was not the slightest evidence against her. She persisted in her original statement, that she was in total ignorance of the whereabouts of Edward Bartlett and her sister, Anne, and also denied any knowledge of there ever having been any more than ordinary friendship between the pair. Had there been any love-making between them, Anne, she declared, would have been sure to confide in her. Meanwhile the public grew clamorous for the pardon of William Luke, as fresh evidence of his innocence came to light and circumstances which had been overlooked during the trial and which pointed most suspiciously towards the guilt of the missing couple were now brought forward. Luke was accordingly pardoned, and h<«3 many sympathizers raised money enough to purchase for him the goodwill of a small business in London. Much was said and much was written to the papers about the inefficiency of the police. How two people could suddenly disappear without, leaving a trace behind them was a mystery which caused not only perplexity to the chiefs at Scotland Yard, but uneasiness to society in general. A reward of one thousand pounds was at last offered for any information which might lead to their arrest, and a minute description -was given of them and posted up in every town and seaport of the kingdom. Edward Bartlett was described &B being nineteen years of age. with fair hair, good features, and gray eyes, and five feet five inches in height. Anne Dodson was twenty-one years of age, of a dark complexion, with large hazel eyes, dark brown hair, and a clearly-cut profile. Her expression was described a/ "pleasing" and her stature as "tall," ^ h e being five feet seven inches or thereabouts in height But neither the tempting one thousand pounds nor the gibes of the press at the failure of the police brought forward any information regarding the missing couple.

'•Pi:r it down—put it way down" yelled George to the rod man at the stitne time making a very commanding gesture. The young lady made a frantjc e**ort to cover her ankles and ir so doing nearly fell off her wb el. And the joke of it all was George never saw bow much embavrasement he had cau.-^d the lady.—Ex. An editor's path is usually well filled—sometimes with flowers, sometimes with thorns, and occasionally with brickbats and overripe hen fruit. Some find fault with his paper if they do not find themselves and their doings mentioned, others do some things who would vigorously kick should we mention their character while some think we ought to "roast" our public officials harder for their illegal acts and a few think we are downright mean for noticing them "for its just so everywhere."

F, and Captain Lockton of-of Co. Iv. The deaths cast a gloom over the osmp niu\ make the boys feel that they would much rather face the bullets where they have an equal chance with the enemy, than to meet the dread silent enemy, with whom their only chance lies with* the skill of the doctor and the overworked nurses, who do their duty nobly; but, as a change is as good as a rest, we will turn to a pleasanter subject, that of brigade field-day, participated iu by Ohio, Michigan and Maryland.

EDITOR DISPATCH: Dear Sir:—I must return you the thanks of our crowd in sending us your paper which comes regularly each week, and which is a most welcome messenger from our native country. We are situated in Dauphin Co. about eight miles from Harrisburg; our camp ground is quite level but, from a hill just south of camp you can see the tents of about fifteen other regiments, and also the Susquehannah River, which is about l^miles to the south-east of us; while about four miles to the north-east of our camp is the Giant Cave, said to be the second largest in the United States. The health of our regiment is Keepv t*llt« Well. It is better to keep well than to get well, although when one is sick it is desirable to get well. When we con »ider that eigbt*tentLs ol the ailments that afflict the American people are caused by constipation, we shall real ize why it is that Baxter's Mandrake Kilters "keeps folks well" or if sick enables them to get well. Baxter's Mandrake Bitters cures constipation. Price 25c per bottle—Why not step in and get a bottle and by using it be assured of good health through the trying hot months.

The Banner Race Meeting which was advertised for Tuesday and Wednesday of laet Week was postponed for one day and as Wednesday proved to be such a dissagreeable day they were declared off entirely. A fairly good crowd were on the grounds on Wednesday to witness the two races and a ball game, and in the latter the Stookbridge team defeated Brighton by a score of 11 to 9. The only races which came off were the free-for-all trot and the froe-forall pace, the former being very closely contested. Six haats came off before the race could be decided, and the fourth heat was a dead heat between Green Wilson and Harry H., and was also the fastest heat in the race. Following is the summary: FREB-F6B-ALL TROT—2:244 Hazel Ridge, 1st Harry H, 2nd Green Wilson, 3rd FREE FOB-ALL PACE—2:22 Sleepy George. Lottie F, Dixie Boy, 1st 2nd 3rd THE COUNTY TREASURY. There is no more important or responsible position in the gift of the people of any county than the election of the custodian of the county funds. Michigan has grown to be a great state, and, Livingston connty has kept pace with its sister counties in development, resources and population, having been equalized at the last session of the state board of equalisation at fifteen millions of dollars. Upon thib valuation. Livingston Co. is paying annually in state taxes, approximately $30,000. Every citizen is interested in bavin? this large amount of money honestly handled and promptly paid to the State Treasurer. That the affairs of the treasurer's office of Livingston county are being managed as promptly and efficiently under the administration of the present incumbent, Mr. Geo. A. Newman is apparent from the following letters state to make this complete settlement. Respectfully, ROSCOB D. Due, Auditor General. Dictated by Henry Humphrey.

The Hones' Moses Were Rubbed fox Lack and Lack Certainly Has Co^e, Rochester, Special.—The career ol Admiral William T. Sampson Is watched with special Interest by gome Rochester people, because they remember his marriage to Miss Elizabeth Burling sixteen years ago. One ol them relates this incident of the marriage as a sign that did not fail. The carriage that was to convey the newl> wedded couple to the train was stand- Ing in front of the house, when the driver stepped ifP to one of the young women in the bridal party, tipped hi& hat, and gravely said: "Would you mind rubbing Tom and Jim's noses, miss? It's a good sign for the new married pair." The young woman smiled, but she did as the driver asked her. Jim and Tom drew Admiral and Mrs. Sampson to the station, and they departed from this city to take up theli home in Washington. Admiral Sampson was stationed in the naval observatory there, and had already made a name for himself. Admiral and Mrs. Sampson frequently spent their vacations in this city and in Canandaigua, and the admiral's wife often said that rest from the bustle of public life was what they often craved, and that it was to be found at its best only in this region near the great lakes. Five years ago, when Admiral Sampson was in charge of the United States cruiser San Francisco, Mrs. Sampson, accompanied by her two sons, Ralph and Harold, spent the summer with hei brother in this city. Mrs. Sampson is well known among teachers and instructors in thiB state, and when the State Teachers' convention was held in this city recently a congratulatory message was sent by James Lee, president of the association, by the wish of the convention, to Mrs. Sampson. The admiral's wife was at one time an instructor in Wells college, Aurora, where she was very popular with her pupils. She is proficient in modern languages and can speak French and Spanish fluently. At the conclusion of her inatructorship at Wells college she became a member of the faooJty of VaBsar college. Just before comlngf tn Carnival of Fun at Gran* Rapids, Oct25th to 28th.

A most curious phenomenon has been observed in the flow of an artesian well on the Kealia plantation, Kauai, says the Hawaiian Star. The water has regular variations In its flow, being lowest at 8 o'clock in the morning, gradually rising until it attains its greatest flow at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and then as gradually falling until 8 o'clock in the morning. Manar ger George H. Fairchild of the plantation thus describes the peculiar phenomenon: "The top of the pipe is thirteen feet above sea level. At eight feet there Is a flow of about 1,000,000 gallons in 24 hours. By adding 'five feet more of pipe the flow stops. We have had this extra five feet of pipe on top of the well for a month or more, waiting for extra pipe to conduct the water to the mill where it is to be used. We have noticed a peculiar action of this column of water, and I have often been unable to find any explanation of it. The coluihn of water in this five feet of additional pipe, placed to prevent the flow, at 8 o'clock in the morning is at its lowest point, one and a half inches below the top ot the pipe. Then it rises until at noon. it begins to flow over the pipe. The flow increases until 2 o'clock, when there is quite a flow. From that time it gradually falls, until at 11 o'clock at night there is a very slight flow, and this ceases at 1 o'clock in the morning, the water gradually falling until it reaches the lowest point at 8 o'clock, when it begins to rise again. It has been suggested that this change in flow is due to the tides or to the rotation of the earth or to the influence of the sun. It is interesting and I should like a sat:.sfnctcry explanation." etc., full sheet music, arranged for I the piaao and organ. This is the greatest offer of music ever made by any house in America.

"ACROSS THE CONTINENT," LAST SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. Tbo f ootntepi of the Creator Seen oa Cvery Ilaod While Journeying Over Our Vaat ISxpaiu* of Kuiplre.—S Sight* It Is our little deeds of love that are large, and our great deeds of self that are little. A violinist works a bow—and some girls do likewise, but they spell it differently. Some people are away up in the social scale because they are too light to bring it down. It's always tough on the tight rope walker when he steps from the straight and narrow path. Whenever a girl begins to lecture a young man on financial economy, he can safely aek her to name the happy day. Some men lay the loadstone of lust alongside the compass of conscience and then talk about its being a good guide. It is in the length of patience and endurance and forbearance that much of what Is good in mankind and womankind is shown. The look of worry and anxiety or. the average married woman's face should convince a girl that men are not worth the exertion necessary to capture and then hold them. It doee not by any means follow that I a good soldier will not make an efficient mayor, or governor, or congressman.. Nevertheless, a warning is demanded because, in every close contest of t h i near future, shrewd politicians will put a soldier at the front. At such, a'time a conscientious citizou will view the situation most critically, and make sure that, while' planning to honor a deserving hero, he is not really strengthening the grip of the objectionable political boss. The man who has an aim is tho man who thinks. The man who accomplishes something worth hie while BA>S a cleui' Idea, lu work on. The nun who drifts never thinks, for the moment he began to do GO he would put his hand on the wheel and steer his craft into clear water. The worthless lives without a fixed purpose, and the great multitude who yearly ruin themselves by yielding to temptation and vice in the guise of pleasure are men who are intended to become archangels and who have the capacity of becoming archangels, but who do not recognize these' facts because their intellects arc* under the influence of morphine, eelfad ministered. Texts—Isaiah 35: C: "Streams in the desert;" Paalms 104: 32: "He toucueth the hilla and they smoke." My first text means irrigation. It means the waters of the Himalaya, or the Pyrenees, or the Sierra Nevadas poured through canals or aqueducts for the fertilization of the valleys. It means the process by which the last mile of American barrenness will be mado an apple orchard, or an orange grove, or a wheat field, or <i cotton plantation, or a vineyard—"streams in the desert." My second text means a volcano like Vesuvius or Cotopaxi, or it means the geysers of Yellowstone Park or of California. You see a hill calm and still, and for ages immovable, but the Lord out of the heavens puts his finger on the top of it, and from it rise thick and impressive vapors: "He toucheth the hills and they smoke!" Although my journey across the continent this summer was for the eighth time, more and more am I impressed with the divine hand in its construction, and with its greatness and grandeur, and more and more am I thrilled with the fact that it is all to be irrigated, glorified and Edenized. What a change from the time when Daniel Webster on yonder Capitoline Hill said to the American Senate In regard to the center of this continent, and to the regions on the Pacific coast: "What do you want with this vast, worthless area, this region of savages and wild beasts, of deserts and cttcKis, of shifting sands and prairie doga? To what use could we ever put these great deserts of these great mountains, impenetrable and covered with eternal snow? What can we ever hope to do with the western coast, rock-bound, cheerless and uninviting, and not a harbor on it? I will never vote one cent from the public treasury to place the Pacific coast one inch nearer Boston than it now is." What a mistake tho great statesman made when he said that! All who have crossed the continent realize that the states on the Pacific ocean will have quite as grand opportunities as tfte states on the Atlantic, and all this realm from'sea to sea to be the Lord's cultivated possession. Do you know what In some respects is the most remarkable thing between the Atlantic and Pacific? It is the figure of Colorado. t&ln A young Indian, recalling his babyhood, when strapped to his mother's ehoulders he "went ahead backward," pathetically likens his race to that condition. The United States government, however, is helping the Indian youth as never before. Seventeen schools, industrial and educational, with an enrollment of over fifteen hundred pupils, are announced for the current year. "It Is not what is done for us, but what we do for others, which develops," wrote one of the&s pupils recently, whicfc suggests the hope that many young men among the India* pupils will devote themselves to the uplifting of their ract*. At the present time th«f» is only one railroad In China, which was built by Li Hung Chang and is under the control of the government. The trouble now threatening between England and Rusala has arisen through the repudiation by China of a contract with the Hongkong and Shanghai bank to build a road from Tientsin via Shan-Hai-Kwon to New-Chwang. The bank is owned almost entirely by English capitalists, although £ few Americans hold stock in i t The proposed new road was an important part of the railroad system under development in China, At its northern terminal It was to have connected with th« Manchurian road, which formed the connecting link with the great tranaatberian route. On the south it irouid have tapped, through Tientsin rtfld the road reaching to the Yangtae river, the rich valley which is China's chief source of agricultural wealth. The proposed road, which the Hongkong and Shanghai bank held the contract to build, ran through the ButtUa sphere - of influence. Conseqnentlj Russia brought great influ* eace It bear upon the Chinese government to prevent the carrying out of ike terms of th* contract It is called the "Mount of the Holy Cross." A horizontal crevice filled with perpetual &now, and a perpendicular crevice filled with snow, but both the horizontal line and the perpendicular line so marked, so bold, so significant, so unmistakable, that all who pass in the daytime within many miles are compelled to see it. There are some figures, some contours, some mountain appearances that you gradually make out after your attention is called to them. So a man's face on the1 rocks in the White Mountains. So a maiden's form cut in the granite of the Adirondacks. So a city in the moving clouds. Yet you have to look under the pointing of your friend or guide for 6ome time before you can see the similarity. But the first instant you glance at this side of the mountain in Colorado, you cry out: "A cross! A cross!" Do you say that this geological inscription just happens so? Noi That cross on the Colorado mountain is not a human device, or an accident of nature, or the freak of an earthquake. The hand of God cut it there and set it up for the* nation to look at. Whether set up in rock before the cross of wood was set up on the bluff back of Jerusalem, or set up at some time since that assassination, I believe the Creator meant It to suggest the most notable event in all the history of this planet, and he hung it there over the heart of this continent to indicate that tin9 only hope for this nation is in the cross on which our Immanuel died. The clouds were vocal at our Saviour's birth, ttie rocks rent at his martyrdom, why not the walls of Colorado bear the record of the crucifixion? The valley of the Yosemite is eight miles long and a half-mile wide and three thousand feet deep. It seems as If it had been the meaning of Omnipotence to crowd into as small a place as possible some of the most stupendous scenery «f the world. Borne of the cliffs you do not stop to measure by feet; for they are literally a mile high. Steep so that neither foot of men nor beast ever scaled them, they stand in everlasting defiance. If Jehovah has a throne on earth, these are its white pillars! Standing down tn this great chasm of the valley you look up, and yonder is Cathedral rock, rast, gloomy- minster built for the lilest worship of the mountains'! Yanler is Be&tt&el rock, 8,270 feet high, l l solitary, standing guard among the iwr«*3, Its top seldom urn -iv ;!, a bride, one Fourth of July, mounted It and planted the* national ^t:;ii thirds, and the people duwn v»i the vailey looked up and saw the* head of the mounUtln turbanod with stars and stripes! Yonder are the Throo Brothers, four thousand feat high; Cloud'* Reat, North ur.d South • Dome, and the heights never captuml save by the flcry bayonets of the thunder-storm! No pause for the eye, no stoppingplace for tho mind. Mountains hurled on mountains. Mountains in the wake of mountains. Mountains flanked by mountains. Mountains split Mountains ground. Mountains fallen. Mountains triumphant. As though Mont Blanc and the Adirondack^ and Mount Washington were here uttering themselves in one magnificent chorus of rock and precipice and water-fall. Sifting and clashing through the rocks the water comes down. The Bridal Veil Falls so thin you can see the face of the mountain behind It. Yonder is Yose'mito Falls, dropping 2,034 feet, sixteen times greater descent than that of Niagara. These waters dashed to death on the rocks, eo that the white spirit of these slain waters ascending in robe of mist seeks the heavens. Yonder is Nevada Falls, plunging seven hundred feet, the water In arrows, the water in rockets, the water in pearls, the water in amethysts, the water in diamondB, That cascade flings down the rocks enough jewels to array all tho earth In beauty*, and rushes on until it drops into a very hell of waters, the smoke of their torment ascending forever and ever. But the moet wonderful part of this American continent is the Yellowstone Park. My two visits there made upon me an impression that will last forever. Go In by the Moneida route as we did this summer and save 250 miles of railroading, your stage-eoach taking you through a day of scenery as captivating and sublime as the Yellowstone Park itself. After all poetry has exhausted itself concerning Yellowstone Park, and all the Momns and Bierstadts and the other enchanting artists have completed their canvas, there will be other revelations to make, and other storiey of its beauty and wrath, splendor and agony, to be recited. Tho Yellowstone Park is the geologist's paradise. By cheapening of travel may it become the nationV. playground! In some portions of it there seems to be the anarchy of thf> elements. Fire and water, and -thy vapor born of that marriage, terrific. Geyser cones or hills of crystal that have been over five thousand years growing! In places ihe earth, throbbing, sobbing, groaning, quaking with aqueous paroxysm. At the expiration of every Bixty-five minutes one of the geysers tossing Ita boiling water 185 feet in the air and then descending into swinging rainbows. "He toucheth the hills and they smoke." Caw ems of pictured walls large enough for the sepulchre of the human race. Formations of stone in shape and color of call a lily, of heliotrope, of rose, of cowslip, of sunflower, and of gladiolus. Sulphur and arsenic and oxide of iron, with their delicate pencils, turning the hills into a Luxemburg, or a Vatican picture gallery. The so-called Thanatopsis Geyser, exquisite as the Bryant poem it was named after, and Evangeline Geyser, lovely as the Longfellow heroine it commemorates. Wide reaches of stone of intermingled colors, blue' as the sky, green as the foliage, crimson as the dahlia, white as the snow, spotted as the leopard, tawney as the lion, grizzly as the bear, in circles, in angles, in stars, in cotfonets, in stalactites, in stalagmites. Here and there are petrified growths, or the dead trees and vegetables of other ages, kept through a process of natural embalmment. In some places waters as innocent and smiling as a child making a first attempt to walk from its mother's lap, and not far off as foaming and frenzied and ungovernable as a maniac in struggle with his keepers. But after you have wandered along the geyserite enchantment for days, and begin to feel that there can be nothing more of interest to see, you suddenly come upon the peroration of all majesty and grandeur, the Grand Canon. It is here that it seems to mo —and I speak it with reverence—Jehovah seems to have surpassed himself. It seems a great gulch let down Into the eternities. Here, hung up and let down, and spread abroad, are all the colors of land and sea and sky. Upholstering of the Lord God Almighty. Best work of the Architect oi worlds. Scnlpturing by the Infinite. Masonry by an omnipotent trowel. Hanging over one of th« cliffs 1 looked off until I could not get cay breath, then retreating to a less exposed place I looked down again Down there is a pillar of rock that in certain conditions of the atmosphere looks like a pillar of blood. Yonder are fifty feet of emerald on a base of five hundred feet of opal. Wall of chalk resting on pedestals of beryl. Turrets of light trembling on floors of darkness. The hrown brightening into golden. Snow of crystal melting into fire of carbuncle. Flaming red cooling into russet. Cold blue wwrmi; i& i'.o i*:til'iii':.tJ. Pull v,--ay mingling into suiiVrijio. Mt.riiing twitigrr flushing niidni&i't shadow*. Auroral crouching anumg rocks. Yonder ia an eagle's nest on a than of basalt. Through an eyeglass we see among it the yoyng eagles, but t i e stoutest arm of our group cannot aurl u stone near enough to disturb the feathered domesticity. Yonder ara heights mat would be chilled with norror but for tho warm robe of forest foliage with which they are enwrapped. Altars of worship at vehich nations might kneel. Domes of chalcedony on temples of porphyry. See all tliis carnage of color up and down tho elilfs; it- must have been the battlefield of the war of the elements! Hero are all the colors of the wall of heaven, neither the sapphire, nor the chrysolite, nor the topaz, nor the jacinth, r:or'the amethyst, nor the jasper, nor the twelve gates of twelve pearls, wanting. If spirits bound from earth to heaven could pass up by way of this canon, the dash of heavenly beauty would not ho so overpowering. it would only be from glory to glory. Ascent through such earthly scenery, iu which the crystal is so bright, would be fit preparation for the "sea of glass mingled with fire." Oh, the sweep of the American continent! Sailing up Puget Sound, ltd shores so bold that for fifteen hundred miles a ship's prow would touch tna shore before its keel touched the bottom. On one of my visits I said, "This is the Mediterranean of America." Visiting Portland and Tacomfl and. Seattle arid Victoria and Fort Townsend and Vancouver and other cities of the northwest region I thought to myself: "These are tue Bostons, New Yorks, Charlestons and. Savannahs of the Pacific coast. But after all this summer's journeying, and my other journeys westward in other summers, I found that I had seen only a part of the American continent, for Alas...a is as far west of San Francisco as the coast of Maine is east of it, so that the central city of the American continent Is Ran Francisco. As scon as you get In Yellowstone Park or California you have pointed out to you places cursed with sucn names as "The Devil's Slide," "The Devil's Kitchen," "The Devll'a Thumb," "The Devil's Pulpit," "Tne Devil's Mush-Pot," "The Devil's Tea- KettK\ rhe Devil's Saw-Mill," "The IVVII'H Machine Shop," "The Devil's GHto," and so cm. Now it is very much n<M>iled that geological surveyors or coMKrcfiBional committee or group of distinguished tourists go through Montana and Wyoming and California and Colorado and ^i\pe other" names to these placeB. All these regions belong to the Lord, and to a Christian nation; and away with such Plutonic nomenclature! But how is this continent to be gospclized?

I am sick of them, and the world is sick of them. But it will be done by the warm-hearted, sympathetic presentation of tho fact that Christ is ready to pardon all our sins, and heal ail our wounds, and save us both for this world and the next. Let your religion of glaciers crack off and fall into the Gulf Stream and get melted. Take all your creetls of all denominations and drop out of them all human phraseology and put in only scriptural phraseology, and you will see how quick the people will jump after them. On tlie Columbia river we saw the salmon jump clear out of the water in different places, I suppose for the purpose of getting the insects. And if when we want to fish for men we could only have the right kind of bait, they will spring out above the flood of their sins and sorrows to reach it. The Young Men's Christian Association of America will also do part of the work. They are going to take the young men of this nation for God. These institutions seem in better favor with God and man than ever before. Business men and capitalists are awakening to the fact that they can do nothing better in the way of living beneficence or iu last will and testament than to do what Mr. Marquand did for Brooklyn when he made the Young Men's Christian palace possible. These institutions will get our young men all over the land into a stampede for heaven. Thus we will ill in some way help on the work, you with your ten talents, I v/ith live, somebody else with three. It is oi:iimated that to irrigate the arid* and desert lands of America as they ought to be irrigated it will cost about one hundred million dollars to gather the waters into reservoirs. As much contribution and effort as that would irrigate with Gospel influences all the waste places of this continent. Let us by prayer and contribution and right living all help to fill the reservoirs. You will carry a bucket, and you a cup, and even a thimbleful would help. And after a while God will send the floods of mercy so gathered, pouring down over all the land, and s«ne of «« on earth and some of us in heaven will sing with Isaiah, "In the wilderness waters have broken out, and streams in the desert," and with David, "Tbiw is « river the streams whereof thall make glad the sl^ht of God." Oh, flU up the reservoirs! America for IN OLDEN TIMES. Many Thine Were Different — Now-a-<tays the Public Profit by Experience. When the striped pole or sign which now indicates a barber shop was employed to let the public know where cupping or blood-letting was professionally performed, close shaves were of daily occurrence; not the easy removal of the hirsute or hairy adornment of the head and face, but close shaves from entering eternity. More than one unfortunate entered the barber- surgeon's doorway to leave it a. corpse or so weak that weeks were required to get the victim of malpractice on his feet, bloodletting was used for everything, from a heartache to a corn, and a pain in the loins was invariably treated with two incisions, one on each side of the spine.

Pictures of two interesting Baltimore and Ohio Railroad buildings have been reproduced in a recent issue of Truth. One is the building at Frederick, Md., which has been used since 1S31 as a freight station, and which is still devoted to that purpose. In the little cupola of the building a bell once hung which was always rung on arrival of trains from Baltimore when horses were the motive power of the railroad. The other building is .the station at Mount Clare, Baltimore, and it is noted as being the location of the first telegraph office in the world. It was from this building that Professor Morse sent his celebrated message In 1844 to his friends in "Washington, forty miles away.

American Pence ComuilNM)on*rs Call the to Time, I The IIispano-American peace commission has reached an interesting and exciting point in its deliberations. Judge Day declared that delay was the only possible object attainable by the persistent efforts of the Spanish commissioners to saddle the United States with the Cuban debt and would be tolerated no longer, as the United States would neither assume nor guarantee any part of the debt. The Spaniards replied that before Spain would repudiate or reduce the face value of the Cuban bonds 60 per eent-'-hor only alternatives— she would surrender to the United States the entire Philippines. Judge Day responded that the surrender of the Philippines would probably be demanded irrespective of the Cuban or any other debt. No Troopa for Cuba Before December. If the President listens to the recommendation of the military commission now in Cuba only a very small body of troops will reach Havana earlier than December. There are two reasons for this. The first is that the weather \vill be much improved by December. The second and more important reason is the desire to use no docks, warehouses, hospitals or camps that have been used by the Spanish or Cubans. This is the only way yellow fever can be avoided. The commissioners urge the President to authorize them to build everything new. Schooner Churchill Went Down. During a terrific northeast gale, with blinding snow, which swept over the lakes numerous vessels had narrow escapes from destruction. The steamer Majestic, towing1 the schooner Churchill, had a perilous time in Lake Michigan. The steamer came nqar foundering and had to cast off the schooner. Shortly afterward the Churchill went down, carrying Capt. Patrick Kane, of Detroit, and one sailor. The lost vessel was owned by J. J. Ward, of Chicago, and was valued at 815,000. Porto Rico, United States of America. The United States is now formally in possession of the island of Porto Rico as sovereign. The war department has received the following dispatch from San Juan, Porto Rico: "Flags have been raised on public buildings and forts in this city, and saluted with national salutes. The occupation of the island isnow complete. BROOKE, Commanding." 14 Lives Lost—Fire at 8ea. The British ship Blengfell, Capt. Johnson, from New York for London, was destroyed by a sudden fire off Margate, Eng. Nine of her crew, including the captain and a pilot, perished. Later it developed that the captain's wife and two children and the first and second mates also were lost. Plot to Assaaalnate Emperor William. The police of Alexandria, Egypt, arrested nearly a score of Italian anarchists and thereby frustrated a plot against Emperor William of Germany, now on his .way to the Holy Land, to be present at the consecration of the Church of the Savior at Jerusalem. Troops will not More South Just Yet. It is stated at the war department that troops will not be sent to the southern camps until after frost has made it certain that yellow fever will not spread. This applies to troops now at Camp Meade Lexington and Knoxville. Dcwey Coming H o m e . Admiral Dewey will arrive in San Francisco on the steamer City of Pekin on Dec. 0.

Me K r l b : creasery t t c Alum is used by many bakers to whiten their bread, enabling them to use an inferior Hour, and it is also employed as a cheap substitute for cream of tartar in the manufacture of baking powder. Its use in bread and baking powder is very detrimental to health, producing dyspepsia and obstinate constipation, and under certain conditions of the human system results In poisoning. What these conditions are so far as each individual ia concerned can only be surmised: some peculiarity of the system producing a morbid change in the secretions of the stomach with which the alum combines and forms an active poison; or, the secretions may be healthy but in abnormal proportions, and these lesser or greater proportions in combination with the alum constitute a poison Just as two parts of mercury and two parts chlorine form calomel, which is not poisonous, while one part of mercury and two parts of chlorine yield a corrosive sublimate, which is a most deadly poison.

I.OIKILI IU Good There are, it is estimated, 300,000 milca of highway ro^ls in the United Si-ates, about 20 pt'i- cent of the roatlj of all the world. Great Britain has 120,000 miles of highways and these aro some of the best in the world. Germany has 275,000 miles of roads, and some of them are as poor as the roadways of a great country can be. France, which has taken an enlightened view of the good roads question for many years, and has a pent by governmental or looal authority over 11,000,000,000 on highways, has a road mileage of 330,000, more than any other country. Russia, with an enormous area, has only 70,000 miles of roadways, while Italy, a smaller country, has 55,000.

Campbell is on the war path against fire insurance companies that, according to his statements, have been violating the public acts of Michigan relating to the combining of stock fire insurance companies for the purpose of avoiding competition, "free and open." The commissioner, in order to establish a test case, issued an order revoking the license of the Liverpool & London & Globe Co. Mr. Campbell explains that he has received many complaints regarding the increase of rates upon manufacturing, mercantile and other special risks. He ascertained that nearly all the old line companies had entered into a contract absolutely fixing rotes upon the property of the state. Commissioner Campbell states that he has but commenced the revocation of licenses of companies in this compact, and will soon announce others unless the practices be at once abandoned.

NEWSY GENERALITIES ITEMS GATHERED PROM ALL. DIRECTIONS. Cloud Darkens Because 'of the Differences Between France and Great Britain Over the Vaahoda Mattel— Both are Preparing for Trouble. Never since Great Britain and France began to dispute over Egypt, years ago, nor during the most acute stage of the numerous Niger differences between those two countries has the situation looked BO ominous as it now does over the Fashoda incident. It is a fact that the French naval and military authorities are makiug feverish preparations for war, and significant orders have been issued from the British admiralty, indicating the belief that Great Britain and B'rance are on the brink of war. The French naval preparations were at first declared to be mere routine arrangements, but they are now admittedly directed against Oreut Britain. The French dockyards and arsenals ars working at full pressure, hurriedly preparing warships and torpedo boats for active •service. At Cherburg und Toulon the schools have been closed to permit the use of the school buildings to be used as barracks for troops and marines ordered to those points. On the British side, a feeling of absolute self-confidence is displayed. "Everything ready,"' is the1 burden of all the statements from naval quarters. In fact the British navy has practically been on a war footing for a year past, and an authoritative announcement to this effect has come from the secretary of the admiralty. The British admiralty list shows that nine British battleships und 11 fast cruisers are lying in the Mediterranean, while the British clinnnel squadron, which was last reported off Villargarcia, Spain, consisting of eight battleships and five cruisers, constitutes the most modern and powerful homegeneous fleet of warships afloat. The commanders of all warships of the British North American squadron have received orders to mobilize at Halifax. It is understood that the British government proposes to take the steps necessary to insist upon an early and definite statement from France. Telegrams from Balmoral intimate that Queen Victoria is following the trend of events with much chagrin. Her aversion to war in the declining years of her reign is well-known and is an appreciable factor in the situation. The French yellow book on Fashoda seems to indicate an intention on the part of the French government to utilize the March and affair as a means of raising the whole Egyptian question. It sets forth that France does not regard the British claim to the Soudan by virtue of conquest as applying to Fashoda. The Marchand expedition pushed forward at a time when the equatorial provinces were lost to civilization and France considered herself equally entitled with England to the possession of any point occupied by French officers. As Marchand reached Fashoda first, England has no right to demand an evacuation of Fashoda prior to negotiations, and that such a demand would be equivalent to an ultimatum, and no one could doubt what would be the reply of France. The London press admits the gravity of the situation revealed by the yellow book, but the papers are unanimous in declaring that it is impossible for Lord Salisbury to consent to any negotiations until Fashoda is evacuated. M. Delcasse with equal firmness declines to withdraw Marchand without previous negotiations, the situation has an ominous look. However, Baron de Courcel, the French ambassador at London, and Lord Salisbury held a conversation in which the former practically stated that France would relinquish Fashoda if she were granted a Nile outlet on the River Bahr-el-Gazal, one of the tributaries of the Nile, entering it about 150 miles southwest of Fashoda at Mokrem-el-Bohur. In reply Lord Salisbury said it would be necessary that he consult his colleagues and some claim to see in this a possibility of a compromise. Philadelphia's Peace Jubilee. The return of peace was appropriately celebrated at Philadelphia, the opening feature being a grand naval parade, in which several of the vessels made famous by their part in the war participated. Then followed a splendid military pageant, a civic parade, receptions and banquets to President McKinley and many other distinguished men, including many heroes of the conflict with Spain. Cuban Evacuation Delayed. The American commissioners report that it will be unsafe to send more American troops to Cuba before Dec. 1.

The divisions of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad west of the Ohio river^ are to receive the same sort of im-' provements that have been made on the lines east of the Ohio. Not only; are the grades to be reduced wherever' it is practicable, but very much heav-; ier motive power is to be introduced.; In order to carry the additional weight the bridges on all the divisions are; being replaced with heavier structures, and the track rejajd with heavier steel rail. It has been demonstrated by actual experiment that these changes will result in an increase in train loading in some places of more than 50 per cent, the average being about 42 per cent. It is the hope of the receivers that within the next two years the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad will be an 18-foot grade road from Chicago to- Baltimore, with the exception of that portion of it which passes over the mountains where helping engines will? have to be used. A great many of the: estimates for the different portions of; the work have been made, and those who have seen the plans state that the work can be done at a surprisingly low cost considering the return. It is understood that the policy of rehabilitation adopted by the receivers' two years ago will be continued by the new company after the reorganization.

On the face of the new revenue stamps which are now being distributed, is engraved a representation of the ill-fated battleship Maine. The battleship is pictured as being at full speed through tbe heavy sea. From the smoke stacks are pouring deuse volumes of smoke.

A distinguished physician who liveiVyftbqut the time of Christ mentioning that butter was made b,y agitating the milkof the sheep; but nones makes mention of its being used except as an ointment or medicine save by the Thracians and Germans, who were the first nations to adopt it BS food. It is related by Plutarch that while a Spartan lady was visiting the v. ifV of n distinguished nobleman of the adjacent principality, the former smelt so strongly of sweet ointment and the latter of butter that mutual repulsion was the conse- (luence. which finally ended in whitewashed dairy I'll turn, w'here the dairymaid hastening \aos, her ruddy and golden-red butter to churn from the milk of her butterflies; and I'll rise at morn with the earliest bird, to the f»-«grant farmyard pass, and watch while the fanner turns his herd of grasshoppers out to grass. -Uni^n. Tlw Passim; of t\w lluggy. Commenting on a recent show of vehicles the Phihulelphin Ledger says: "A number of good open traps are displayed and but one of the well known type of buggy which has had its day and is giving place to road carts and traps. It is of interest to nato the passing of the buggy. A few years ago it was the nxvt popular driving vehicle in the country. In the shadow of its top, while driving along country roads and by-ways, many confidences have been exchanged. With many the three-quarter buggies were the most popular because no one objected to the tight squeeze necessary in order to make the narrow seat hold two persons. Traps and ro»ul carts are more convenient ami easier to handle than tin1 buggy. They are u little heavier, and there are other points in their favor. When traps were first introduced from London much fun was made of them by American carriage builders, but as their advantages became known, carriage builders, like the riders in the narrow buggies, 'first pited, then endured ami I hen embraced.' This is nndoubtedlv true &o far as our cities are concerned, but it does not apiply be\ond them. The buggy and jthe roadster are still the best and [.most popular means of quick transi t and pleasure driving in the 'country." Railroad Guide. tirand Trunk Rail war System.

Michigan has grown to be a great state, and, Livingston connty haa kept pace with its sister counties in development, resources and population, having been equalized at the last session of the state board of equallization at fifteen millions of dollars. Upon thib valuation. Livingston Co. is paying annually in state taxes, approximately $30,000. Every citizen is interested in having this large amount of money honestly handled and promptly paid to the State Treasurer. That the affairs of the treasurer's office of Livingston county are being managed as promptly and efficiently under the administration of the present incumbent, Mr. Geo. A. Newman is apparent from the following letters to-wit: *% State of Michigan. Auditor General's Department. Lansing, March 31, 1897. MR. GEO. A. NEWMAN, Liviucrston Co., Treas.

"It's a mistake for a man to think he's indispensable," said Mr. Nozzleby, for no man is. Men are valuable, and they may easily make themselves very valuable, but when a man comes to think that the business can't get along without him, or can't get along so well as it does, which amounts to the same thing, why, he's wrong, that's all- More than one man has found that out when he has set his valuation too high. And it is very probable that when he began to dwell on his own Milne, his value in reality began to decline; it is certain that one of the things that contributed most to increase his value was his forgetfulness of himself. "As a matter of fact, a man's inter- ~esTs7TT"he is really a superior man, up to a certain point, and that a high poiut, too, wili take care of themselves, f r o m New Xeland.

There is a fixed low price for the run of people of average ability, but none for the man of really superior ability, that is, if he is a 100 per cent man, which is to say not only of high ability, but of perfect forgetfulness of self ana absolute devotion to business.

Marriage among natives of South Africa is very much a matter of pounds, shillings and pence, shorn of the glamour of romance by the fact that the bride is estimated at so many cows or oxen by her callous and practical father, says the New York Telegram. Tne kaflir patriarch rejoices in a multiplicity of daughters—for they are truly the props of his old age—and each dusky damsel taken off his hands by an ardent suitor means an increase in his herds, calculated with mathematical precision, according to the rank ot the bride's father. For instance, the hereditary in charge of a tribe when parting with his daughter need set no honds~to his bovine ambition, and the legend "Brides are cheap to-day" is meaningless to one of such exalted rank. A mere appointed chief in charge of a tribe, dares not demand more than tvrenty head of cattle for his daughter, but ten head is the a w - age payment made. The ordinary kafflr has three or four wives, and ^h«n he has be£n in service with his whit* master sufficiently long to acquire the amount necessary to obtain the desire of his heart, he returns to his ancestral halls, and after a brief courtship, makes his selection to the "kaffl* market ;md proposes—to thp father. No presents are made to tlio bridesmaids, for there are none to present; but that much-maligned individual, the mother-in-law, is duly recojnnzed by the heathen, for she invariably receives « cow fxom her son-in-law elect.

Some people try to console them- «elves in the hour of their misfortune by saying "There are others." Some are rich in money only; how poor are they! To hold money is nothing; to use it for, the highest good Ja rapture. The habit of virtue cannot be formed in a closet. HabitB are formed by acts of reason in a persevering struggle through temptation. Human action is a seed of circumstances scattered in the dark land of the future, and hopefully left to the powers that rule human destiny. It was a Chicago man who sold hla affections to a woman for about a hundred dollars and then repudiated the woman; and it was a Chicago Judge who ruled that she could not recover the money because a man's love could not be estimated in dollars and cents. It might have occurred to the Judge, one would think, that the man was a swindler; and if that failed to bring satisfaction there ought to have been a horsewhip—not for the Judge, perhaps, but for the man. According to letters received from members of the First Kentucky regiment, which landed at Ponce, Porto Rico, on the transport Alamo, the greatest hardships were endured by the soldiers during the voyage. The men were quartered in the hold with foul air to breathe, and the diet consisted of canned beef, raw tomatoes and coffee once a day. A guard is said to have been kept around the officers' kitchen to keep tne starving men from taking food by force. The steward is alleged to have made money by charging high prices for ice water and bread. The eternal monotony of the same food Is enough to drive a man crazy, especially canned food. No more transporU4hould be sent anywhere without a proper variety for the men aboard. The Cunard Company has lately given an order for a new steamship, which will be the largest ever constructed. She Is not to be a passengerboat, and is not to be built for speed, and accordingly she will attract lees general interest than her smaller sisters, the Lucania and Campania, which register only thirteen thousand tons apiece. The biggest vessel now afloat Is the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, of the North German Lloyd. She is six hundred and fifty feet lone, and registers more than fourteen thousand tons. She will not Ions be the leviathan of the Atlantic liners, for in a short time the White Star Company will have the Oceanic on the water, and she, with her seven hundred feet length, will be twenty feet longer than the Great Eastern, the wonder of the last generation. The United States consul at Vlaana, in a report to the state department on the trade of Austria-Kfcngary for 1S97, ascribes the general decrease in exports to this country to the fact that the same goods are now manufactured in the United States and can be sold there at the same or lower prices than the Austrian goods. The report is that American silk is being sold in Lyons, the real silk center in Europe, and that French manufacturers are buying It in large quantities, especially that msed for lining purposes, to take the place of that formerly imported from Austria and Germany. There is a falling off in the demand for pearl goods, and for glassware, due to the popularity and superiority of the American product It is frankly admitted, the consul says, that the American cut Class Is finer and more elegantly cut than aay manufactured In Europe. The Ancrleui bicycle, according to the consul, it finding favor with the wheel* men, notwithstanding it* higher price over thoee of domestic make.

CURRENT NOTES OF DISCOVERY AND INVENTION. Th« Concentration of Tower — Uow Potato Flour 1% Made—F«ctorle« Without Chimney*—A Floating Dry dock— 8*111 of tn« Japan*** Conc«atr*Uoa of Power. The close of the present century Is marked by a tendency in the engineering world toward concentration of energy and material. K quarter of * century since a craft 200 feet long was almost a rarity on the great lakes, and when the locks of the Welland canal were extended 235 feet it waa supposed that they would fully meet any demand to be made upon them in the succeeding hundred years. Today there are more large craft on these waters approaching 400 feet in length than those of 300 feet and less, and many exceed the greater figure— running, some of them, even up to 460 feet. The same increase and concentration is also witnessed among the railroads. Heavier roadbeds and rails, and more capacious rolling stock, are everywhere observed, and the locomotive has reached a degree of development as regards size,weight,power and economy little dreamed of a generation ago.A very striking illustration of this concentration of power was afforded recently by a train hauled over the Pennslyvanla railroad between AUoona and Columbia, which consisted of 130 carB, was nearly three-quarters of a mile in length and that weighed,5,330 tons. It was made up as follows: Locomotive, 118 tons; other rolling stock, 1,519 tons; freight (coal), 3,693 tons. A Floating; Dry Dock. The great floating dock recently constructed for the Vulcan company, Stettin, Germany, by Messrs. Swan & Hunter of Wallsend, Newcaatle-on-Tyne, surpasses in capacity the floating dock built by the same firm for the Spanish government and now in operation at Havana. The remarkable achievement of towing it successfully across the Atlantic ocean is fresh in the public mind, says the Scientific American. The present dock has been constructed with special reference to the strengthening and re-engining of two admirably adapted to cak* baking, as It comes out beautifully white and light. It It considerably cheaper than wheat flour, selling for about 13-50 per 100 pounds, whereas wheat flour coats about 15. The preceas of manufacturing this article Is Quite simple. The potatoes are washed, put in rapidly rotating machines set with teeth and then crushed in such manner that the starch is separated from the cells which contain it. Water sweeps tue extricated starch into vessels, where It settles on the bottom. Thou it goes through a refining process, and Is finally dried in a machine specially constructed for that purpose. What is left of the potatoes is fed to the oattle and swine, and is said to be also available for sundry uses In distilleries, breweries and sugar factories. Th« J»p*neee Idea. The Japanese are just famous for their skillful arrangement of flowera, by which the poorest of blooms are made to look their beat, by being so displayed that their full beauty can be appreciated. Most of these good effects are produced by placing the flowers very sparsely In bamboo tubes, no attempt at a crowded bouquet being ever made. The lateet importation from Japan for the purposes of floral decoration consists merely of a long strip of lead, wliich is crinkled and crumpled up into as many folda and flutings as possible. These crumples must be so managed as not to interfere at all with the firm base, which enables the lead to stand steadily at the bottom of the bowi or basin. The flutings form a series of miniature tubes, into which the stems of the flowers are pushed, and which can be easily pinched or enlarged, as the eltrnness or thickness of the stems require The flowera ehould on no account be crowded; and, of course, the highei they stand up above the edge of ilu bowl, the more graceful will they look. of the Atlantic liners of the North German Lloyd company. The principal dimensions are: Length over all, 510 feet; extreme breadth, 110 feet 9 inches; height from bottom of pontoon to top of walls, 43 feet 7 Inches. The internal width is sufficient to allow vessels up to 82 feet beam to be docked and the depth over the keel blocks is 24 feet. The maximum lifting power is about 12,000 ton*. T^e dock is what is known as the self-docking type, that is to say, access to all external surfaces is possible for painting or repairs. Longitudinally It consists of two side walls, between which are connected three pontoons, the center one being 240 feet long and the two end pontoons 135 feet. The pumping and controlling machinery consists of eight horizontal centrifugal circulating pumps, placed four in each wall of the dock. Theee pumps have large vertical shafts geared by means of bevel wheel* and horizontal shafts to two sets of compound engines of 125-horse-power each, which are placed on a deck near the top of the walls. There are four engines in all and each of them drives two fifteen-inch centrifugal pumps, the whole machinery being capable of lifting a ship of about 11,000 tons displacement clear of the water in about two and one-half hours. The dock is divided into thirty-eight water-tight compartments, each emptied or filled by separate valves. Each engine is supplied by a large, horizontal multi-tubular marine boiler which is placed in the walls in close proximity to it. Factories Without The statement that a chimney, the third or fourth tallest in the world.hag just been completed at a cost of $53,- 000, and the announcement that the most gratifying success has attended the use of forced draught, without any chimneys whatever out of the ordinary, appear in contemporary journals. The .experiment of forced draught gives promise of great economy in fuel, as well as doing away with the expensive and unornamental chimney. The draught arrangement consists of a large fan, which is connected with a four by four double cylinder engine. The fan has a wheel fifty-four inches in diameter and runs at almost any rate of speed desired. The draught is something prodigious and makes it possible to employ fuel of a lower grade than any heretofore used. Instead of the best Cumberland coal, a mixture of Cumberland and screenings has been tried. The cost of operating the fan, even with imperfect apparatus, is something like $800 per annum. The smoke stack is scarcely taller than the roof of the building, and of less capacity than heretofore used for such purposes. Fotat* Floor. One of the manufactured vegetable products of Austria, an article probably altogether unknown on this side of the Atlantic, is potato flour. United States Consul Mahln, at Reichenberg. calls attention to it In one of his recent reports, and says that it h used there in many lines of bakery and :confectionery, where we use wheat flour, besides being employed in cases whore corn starch, whkh is not known in Austria, is made use of by us. It is Preparation for Oilcloths. To preserve the gloss and color ol good oilcloth, melt two ounces of glue in, a pint of water. Wipe the oilcloth over with a woolen rag moistened with yellow soap, and the oilcloth again with a linen cloth dipped in the glue water, already prepared. Let this dry on before the floorcloth is trodden on again, and a bright, fresh gloss will be the result. If the glue water, when cold, 1B not liquid enough, add warm water until it is so. It will be sufficient for some time afterwards only to dust the oilcloth over, as the glue preserves it from injury. QvtrproUuulion ol Poultry. I Overproduction of poultry and eggf Ik a possibility, but that such has at any time occurred Is doubtful, says the Poultry Keeper. The fear that the market may be wverstocked has deterred some from venturing largely in poultry, but such fears have never been realised. It is not unusual to flud the market full at all times, not only of poultry and eggs, but of all kinds of produce; though t&ere it a great difference in quality. It has been said of butter that there was no intermediate kind, as butter was either good or bad. If not of the best quality, it was of no value; and if but little inferior to the beet, there waa no place for it whatever. Such may be said of eggs also, and it aay be extended to poultry. Quality regulates the prices. A difference of only one cent a pound on poultry or a dozen eggs seema insignificant, but when a large business is conducted the difference is greut. As long as there are several prices for the products the market is overstocked with the lowest priced articles only. The best will be in demand, and will sell for all that it Is worth; but the term "beBt" means a great deal, for it Includes everything pertaining to superiority. There is a large field open for those who aim to supply the market with the best; and every season they will find that they have room for improvement in order to excel. There is also much to learn in order to know how to provide the market with the best, and the market will accept it readily at all times and without regard to the quantity of inferior grades that may have been offered for sale. There is something more to look after than feeding and caring for the fowls. To produce the beat, the hens must be of the best. This demands the use of the best breeds. No farmer can afford to raise chickens for market from the common stock, for the reason that no system of feeding will enable the inferior birds to equal their superiors. With the breeds for the purpose the market can be supplied with something choice, and there will be little or no competition. Overproduction of the best is a result not yet attained. It is anticipated by many, and as long as the farmers will not Improve their flocks, the market will always demand more. Matin* for Size. Mr. E. Cobb, in the Feathered World of July 29, makes the following remarks, on mating for size and shape: "The male bird undoubtedly exercises a certain amount of influence iu regard to the size and shape of the offspring; but to attempt to remedy —au so many amateurs do—the deficiency of size In their stock by the purchase of an extra large cock, Is the wrong way to go to work. The hen has far more influence over both the size and shape ol the progeny than the male has. Tak* a broad shouldered, deep chested cock and mate with narrow shouldered hens, deficient also In breast, and the result of such a union will be but little, if any, Improvement. Had, howexer, the tables been turned, and the hens possessed the size Instead of the cock, far greater improvement would appear in the offspring; but, as we before remarked, the male bird does exercise a certain influence. It will be found that by breeding from large hens and a cock deficient in this respect the pullets produced show a far greater improvement than is observable in the cockerels, and it is only by continuing the process of breeding from large hens that the cockerels will far outdistance the original cock. There is no question but what the best plan is to have size and shape on both sides; but If a deficiency must occur on one side or the other, do not let it be oa that of the hens." The above is truth undefiled. We regret that a common practice among amateur fanciers ia a tendency to breed from overgrown and abnormally large males. Many a fine cockerel, because he happens to be undersized, albeit correct in shape, U cast aside, and some big, coarse brute, because of his size, Is --selected to mate with an average lot of females.

Tuberculin in Australia.—Mr. Cameron, veterinary inspector to the board of health, Victoria, has issued a report showing tht result of his experiments with tuberculin aa a test for tuberculosis in dairy cattle. Mr. Cameron expresses the belief that the test never fails if it be properly applied. Exhaustive experiments were made on the herds at the Leongatha labor colony. A number of cows reacted to the test, and on being slaughtered were all found to hare tuberculosis. Forty showed no reaction, and fifteen months later were again injected, and showed no reaction. Two were slaughtered, and found to be free from tuberculosis. Mr. Cameron is satisfied that, if the whole of the dairy herds in the colony were tested, and the cattle affected condemned and slaughtered, tuberculosis in cattle could be easily stamped oat The kitchen garden it aot usually appreciated for the reason that tbe farmer does not k<«p an aoowwt of It* ret am*.

Far a-way In the Interior of New South Wales, not many miles from the borders of South Australia, there is a lovely stretch of country which, at the first glance, a stranger would Imagine to be one vast plain. It is a beautifully undulating country in reality, with low hills and wide-spreading valleys, belts and clumps of shea-oak and pine, and large lagoons, which,, when filled by the winter rains, are the resort of the various wild-fowl with which the country abounds. Some of the valleys contain vast stretches of dense scrub, whilst others present a tempting pasture for the herds of kangaroos. In some parts, where dams have been made to save the waiter, there are huts and sheep yards, and far-away out-stations where solitary men dwell, tending the flocks committed to their care, seeing no living soul fqr months together, a,nd "wishing to see none. These "hatters," as they are termed, frequently go raving mad, and the generality of them are moody, crack-brained creatures who have almost lost whatever humanity they once possessed. Facing these great plains, and nestling under the brow of a lofty hill on the Barrier Ranges, was a station consisting of a comfortable dwellinghouse, built from the bouldece which lined the creek close by, a number of men's huts, a wool-shed, sheep and cattle yards and paddocks—the last stretching out from the Range for several mi lee into the plains. To the weary "swagsman," who had skirted the Range from the last station for over twenty miles on a blazing hot day, with his roll of blankets slung across his shoulder and his "billy" in his hand, the sight of Red mount Station was a most welcome one indeed. The tall blue gum trees which marked the irregular line of the creek as It debouched from the gully in the hills were visible for a great1 distance, and, to the sore-footed traveler toiling on towards them, it seemed as if they were never to be reached. But, when once those trew were gained, the knowledge of the certain food and rest to be obtained beneath them cheered the fainting spirits, and the hard day's tramp was coon forgotten In the comfort of the traveler's hut and the stimulating draughts of smoking tea. Mr. Charles Hall was the owner of Redmount, and lord not only of hundreds of square miles of country surrounding it, but of the countless flocks and herds which grazed thereon. Here he lived with his wife and family, perfectly happy and contented, and far away from all excitement, political or otherwise, their lives passed wholesomely among the rural pursuits and interests with which they were surrounded. What was it to them that there was a change of government in England, a fortune lost or won upon the Derby, or, a new plot agalnet the czar? What did they care about the life of the old world? Less than nothing! A good lambing season, a heavy "clip," a rise in wool, an occasional run down to Melbourne or Sydney, were matters of far keener interest to them than all the squabbles or rejoicings of the people of the old country. The owner of Redmount had left England, with his young wife, nearly twenty years previously, and,.after the usual amount of struggling inseparable from a colonist's life, had settled down and prospered. His family consisted of two fine grown lads and a girl, ^ho were rapidly becoming more and more useful to him. The elder son, Jack, though only just nineteen, already stood to his father quite In the place of an overseer on the "run;" the younger. George, was still at college in Sydney. Shearing had commenced and every-' body on the station was hard at work. Mrs. Hall had been busy the whole day long cooking for the men, for they had been unfortunate enough at this season, of all others, to lose their cook. Mr. Hall had been absent from home for the past two weeks. Business had taken h l m a w a y t 0 Melbourne, but that night he was expected home. The day had been exceedingly hot, though it was only the middle of November, and K n . Hall was so thoroughly tired out with her exertkuxa that she was resting on. aMlovnge chair In the veranda, anxiously watching the track round the ftkft Of the Jfeng* $h ttue hope of seeing her husband in the distance. From where «jto ait'the prospect was lovely indeed. From the house a spacious garden full of shrubs, orange and lemon trees, and English flowers, • minted with , re*otics, •treftok** dov* the >Ul-4ide to a l>ubbUag stream. Higher up U» fully large gum treea waved their feathery foliage in the evening air, and a grand background of precipitous hills formed a splendid contrast to the plains across which Mrs. Hall strained her eyes in vain. The sun had just gone down behind the hills, and only the brows of the dark peaks were tinged with Its last rays. Thousands of sheep which had that day been shorn were bleating as they streamed out from the yards where they had all day been imprisoned. Horses grazed In the home paddock close by, Bide by side with the milk-cowe, while shouts from the yards told that the men had not yet ceased from their labors. "Mary," Mrs. Hall called out presently, as she heard some one moving about inside the house, "is that you, dear?" "Yea, mother," replied a tall lithelooking girl as she stepped out through a French window on to the veranda. "Poor dear mother, you must be quite knocked up!" "I am tired, darling," admitted Mrs. Hall. "Has Jack come up from the shed yet?" "No, not yet," answered the girl; "but supper ie quite ready, and he won't be long now, I expect." "I do hope that your father will come home tonight. He said h« would be ten days perhaps. It is now a fortnight since he left." "I wonder whether he will have managed to .get a cook," said Mary, as she sat on the edge of the veranda at her mother's feet. "All this cooking is quite wearing you out. You ought not to have to do It." "I shall be all right after a good night's rest, and if only your father would come back! Can you see nothing of him, Mary?" MNo, not a sign," said the girl, "but here is Jack, sooner than I expected. Now let us go tuto supper, and begin." i stalwart sunburnt youth strode up the garden path, and tossing his cabbage-tree hat upon a chair, threw himself at full length upon the grassplat. "Well, Polly," he exclaimed. "I'm juat baked, I can tell ypu! I wish the governor would hurry home. Learing me all the shearing to look after is no C&TCBTI All this broiling after- DOOU I've been drafting out 'strangers,' and working just like a nigger." "Mother's been working hard, too," said Mary reproachfully. "And she doesn't grumble, like you do." "No, by Jove; but then the mater's an angel!" he answered, springing to his feet and throwing his arms around his mother's neck. "I bet no angel ever cooked dinner for seventy men, with the thermometer at a hundred and ten in the shade, without a murmur! Oh, I'm not to be irreverent, mother? Well, I won't, to please you; but upon my word it was a shame of that brute Johnson to go off at a moment's notice, Just at the very busiest time." "Never mind, Jack," interrupted Mrs. Hall, as she leaned her head back over the rail on the lounge-chair and clasped her hands behind her neck. "Don't talk so much, wit look out with your young eyes and see if your father is not coming in the distance." "Or, in other words," said Jack, laughing—" 'Sister Ann, sister Ann, do you see some one coming?' No, mother, no one—neither Bluebeard nor the governor. Talking of blue, I wonder what our new cordon bleu will be like. Drink like a fish and swear like a trooper, I suppose, as they all do." "Perhaps father won't have got one at all." observed Mary; "and, if so, I pity you all. for I'm going to try my hand at cooking. I stood with my ncse close to the meat safe today to break myself into the smell of raw meat, which always make me feel more or less ill." "Pshaw—you might as well be an English girl!" said Jack scornfully. "If you were anything like a trump you'd kill as well as cook—Jennie Smith does." "Never mind; we don't want Mary to be quite such a masculine person as Jennie," interposed Mrs. Hall; which brought forth a rejoinder from Jack that Miss Smith was no end of a "good fellow." after which he suddenly remembered that he was hungry, and added hurriedly— "But I'm ready for supper, if you are. I'll just run In and wash off eome •of this dust, and be with you in a few moments." and Mr. Jack swung himself through the veranda and disappeared within the house. CHAPTER IV. Supper was well-nigh over whe* tk* barking of dogs announced a late arrival. "That's father!" cried young Jack. "I thought he'd be here tonight. I'll run down to the huts and meet him," and off he darted is the direction of the sounds. After the first outburst of welcome had subsided, some fifty questions had been asked, and Mr. Hall had somewhat satisfied his hunger, he said— "And now that I have told you all my news, how have you been getting on in my absence? Shearing goiag ahead all right, Jack?" "Yes, father. Nothing much to growl about Pretty fair clip so far, I think. But you haven't told us yet whether you got the married couple you promised to look out for in Melbourne." "Well, I have, and I haven't," replied Mr. Hall, leisurely lighting his pipe. "It is the hardest job in the world to get hold of anybody. I saw several couples in town, but they were all so precious independent that it made me quite savage. One lot would not come so far into the bush; another wanted to know whether I allowed beer and washing. One likely fellow had eix small children—no drawback on the place here, knowing that he might leave me in a few monthB for five shillings a week more wages at the next station? At last I dropped across a very decent young fellow, just out from the old country, with a young wife and no encumbrances." "But what did you mean by 'you have and you haven't?" asked Mrs. Hall. "I mean this—the man tells me his wife is in too delicate a state to do any work. His name is Thomas Baynes and he says he can cook well and is handy about the house. I didn't see his wife, but I engaged him at seventy pounds a year, on condition that, if his wife grew stronger, she should assist you in any light work—needlework or something of that description. No doubt when they get settled and used to the life they will shake down all right. I must say I was'taken with the lad's appearance, so I hope it will turn out satisfactorily." "What a pity the wife is so delicate!" said Mary. "And ^rhen are they coming up, father?" "They started before me, but I overtook them on the road," returned Mr. Hall; "and they arrived at Sullivan's public-house in the coach this evening. I had no time to stop and see them, but asked Sullivan to send them on tonight In his buggy, so I suppose they will be here very shortly." "Poor creature!" remarked Mrs. Hall. "How will she stand bush life if she is such a sickly thing? You say they are young people?" "Yes, quite young. Hi MRS. PINKHAM TALKS ABOUT OVAETTIS. was twenty-three, but he hardly looks it. However, you wilt be at>le to jndge for yourself very soon. Oh, there's Long Bill!" he exclaimed, hailing a station-hand who had just come up to the veranda, "How d'ye do, Bill? Has a buggy come up from Sullivan's with a man and his wife for the station? That's all right—see them settled in the hut next the men's kitchen, will you? Give a look after them, and make them as comfortable as you can. They are new chums, not used to roughing it much yet, I expect, and no doubt will feel strange at the start." "I have been to see after them, sir," replied Bill, "so far as the young man would let me, but he seems mighty independent, and says he can do for himself." "Well, that's something strange in a 'new chum,' " said Mr. Hall, laughing; "but it is a hopeful beginning. If you are passing his hut, tell him to get the men's breakfast at seven sharp tomorrow, and I will go down and give him a look in afterwards on my way to the shed." Lsng before midnight the whole station appeared to be wrapped in slumber, and not a light was to be seen. The very sheep-dogs snored and dreamed as dogs do dream after a hard day's toil, rounding up their flocks and hunting back refractory subjects to the yards, just as they had been doing the livelong day. Every human being on the station slept—Save one. Upon a rude bench outside a hut near the men's kitchen sat a darkeyed youth, looking upwards into the starry sky. Tears were slowly trickling down his face, and he rocked himself to and fro, struggling to suppress his sobs. Presently he arose, and, clasping his hands above his bead, as If in the very agony of his soul, he murmured— "How will it all end? Oh, merciful H.e*ven, how will it end?" Then he entered the hut.

Madrid: The news that the Spanish peace commissioners at Paris had referred to the government a formal demand of the American commissioners for the absolute cession of the entire Philippine group, caused the greatest surprise in Madrid. The strongest feeling prevails that the government should protest energetically against what is regarded as a violation of the spirit of the protocol. ODDITIES OF POISONING. Much of Karthly Happlueu Depend* Cpon What We Kat. The constitutional difference)] and peculiarities which exist among individuals should always be carefully watched and considered. One person can handle poison Ivy with Impunity while another is poisoned if only in the vicinity of the vine and without contact. Some members of a family residing In a malarial district will suffer regularly with chills and fever, while other members will not be at all affected. Food that la actually poisonous to some persons will not act so on others. Ona person may eat all kinds of green fruit and vegetables with impunity, while another person couM do so only at the risk of life. Certain kinds of fish are actually poisonous to some people and perfectly wholesome to others. It Is this peculiar condition of the system which constitutes the danger point In the individual case and should be prudently observed by each one for himself. InteBtinal derangements frequently arise from and are aggravated by certain kinds of food. Thus a person affected with kidney or liver trouble should not eat very white bread, since the extreme whiteness is often produced by the use of alum with an inferior article of flour, and as alum la known to be poisonous in its effects on a sound constitution, this is why alum baking powder is never used by people of judgment and discretion. More of earthly happiness depends upon what we eat than many people realize and it is for this reason that the different states are one by one passing pure-food laws. A New Railroad'* Trouble*.

The sun had barely risen wheji the •moke from the huts showed that Redmount b,ftd>, onqe more awakened to the labor of another day. The delicious sx^nt of, the wood fires asthe flames rose in the fresh morning air proclaimed that test was being made to be vervod out preparatory to the two hours' work that had to be got through before breakfast-time. Men stumbled out of their huts, towel»nd soap in hand, and straggled down to the creek to waeh the "cobwebs" out of their sleepy eyes. "Mornin", Doctor," cried one, as he passed the kitchen door. "Good hand at plum-duff, Doctor?" Inquired another. "We'll see what you're made of on Sunday, mate. None of your stickjaw, mind. Haw, haw!" And so on, each one having some rough, good-natured greeting for the "new chum." Thomas Baynes, the cook, was a emart, dapper-looking fellow, about the average height, but slim, and he went about his work with a rapidity and style that created a good Impression at once. In aprearance he was dark almost to &warthiness, but this had evidently been jToduced by exposure to the eun. His boyish-looking face and youthful figure would certainly never have led any one to suppose that he was a mnvried man; and, as many of the men remarked on first catching sight of him, ho had "gone in for double harness pretty early in the day." The doctor, as the cook Is generally styled on a station, proved himeelf to be as punctual as he was competent, and as the clock struck eeven he rang the great boll outside the hut v/h!oh called all hands to their meal. Up they came, running and skylarking, from the shed, hungry as wolves, and eager to see what sort of a hand the "new chum" r/as likely to turn out. "Blessed if those Booties ain't tiptop," remarked a bearded stockman with his mouth full. "You keep at that, youngster, and we shan't fall out. We 'eard as 'ow you were a married man—what's yer name? Tom? WeTTTaJl 1 can say IB, you've tooR the plunge Tpretty early. Why, you ain't got no "whiskers yet. How old are you?" "Twenty-three," replied Tom Baynes, his face flushing at being madfe the subject c>f a general scrutiny. "Twenty-three! Well, yon don't look It." "Never mind, Tom—you'll grow old fast enough," shouted another. "You musn't mind Black Dick's talk—he don't mean 'arf what he says." "Where's the missus?" inquired the man who rejoiced in the name of Dick. "She Is tired," replied Baynes. "She is never strong at the beet of times." "That's bad news. We was in hopes of 'aving a few quadrille-parties and sich like when we 'eard a lady was coming up to jine us. 'Owever, you give 'er my werry kind respects and tell 'er as 'ow I'll call in eome time this afternoon and drop a card," continued the man, who had a high opinion of his own witticisms. Thus, with some coarse iests and chaff, tMe meal pasred off, and as the men strolled back to the shed the general opinion seemed to be that the youngster knew what he was about, and was a better ecok than the dirty old fellow who had ' preceded him. Soon after they had departed, and while Baynes was engaged in washing up tin plates and pannikins, Mr. Hall looked into the kitchen. "Getting on all right, Tom?" he inquired cheerily. "That's a good job. Roguish lot of men up here at these times, but they mean no harm—you'll soon get used to them. You think you'll m&nage the work, eh? There are a good number erf mouths to feed." "I am not afraid of the work, sir," replied Baynes, "and think I shall get on all right with the men. They all «eem good-tempered enough." As he sjpoke Mr. Hall fancied he detected a curiously ead tone in the man's voices and he thought what a •oft, gentle voice it waa compared with the roach tonss of the ordinary bush band. r . .. , . "Your wife— li she pretty wejl thjs morning after tor long journey?" he art^Krwttnjxlnt.jkiKiratfcer cfcarpiy.

BsUlwttl look to «**«•* ooattotsld tto Wftar of "but I would much rather—that is, she would rather not—she is in such a very nervous state, And her eyes trouble her so much, that if Mrs. Hall would excuse her, perhaps she may grow stronger with rest and care, and then— "Oh, very well!" said Mr. Hall, turning upon his heel. "When she is feeling better will do as well, only my wife thought she might help her a little with some needlework and such things; but if her eyes are so bad— "They are not so bad as all that," Baynes remarked hurriedly—"only sometimes. I am sure she will be happy to undertake any needlework Mrs. Hall wants doing. She is not quick, but she if very clever with her needle. If I might go up to the house and f<-*(h the things she will set to work at once." "Time enough for that when she is well enough to see Mrs. Hall," returned the squatter. "Women like to cliat together over that sort of buslneffi, I always find." "There is something very odd about that young chap, with his soft voice and his shy manner," Mr. Hall thought as he walked on to the shed. "His wife suffers from bad eyes, too, yet she can do needlework—has a nervous complaint, and evidently is not anxious to be invaded. I wonder what— Pshaw—it's only my fancy, I suppose!" A few weeks passed by, and shearing was n thing of the past. The station handa had settled down into their ordinary routine of work, and the extra men who had been employed during the busy season had passed on to fine! similar jobs elsewhere. "It is very strange," remarked Mr. Hall one day to his wife, "that one never sees Mrs. Baynes. What can really be the matter, with her? He tells me that her eye-sight is so bad that she cannot bear the light." "That is odd," replied his wife, "for, if her eyesight is so bad, how in the world does she manage to hem these handkerchiefs so beautifully? I »e*1«r eaw better work in my life." "Well, that is curious!" interposes Hail. "And shutting herself up so persistently in Baynes' hut makes no end of sossip on the station. A fellow asked me yesterday when I was over at Bumberra- whether it was true that we had a maniac shut up here. If gossip of that sort u v:he tajk cf a place fifty miles away, v e shall Gocn be getting a fine name for ourselves here at Redmount." "Oh. as for gossip, you'll find that everrvhere!" remarked his father. "And, after all, Tom Baynes is the smartest cook I've had for many a day, and a pleasant enough fellow, too, now he's got over that shy sort of manner which he had when he first came up." "Perhaps he is jealous of the other men. father." suggested Mary slyly, "and does not like them to look at her." "That's possible," replied Mr. Hall. "I remember a man on board ship once who kept his wife locked up in her cabin for three months, and carried all her meate in to her himself." "What a brute!" cried Mary. "Do you mean to say he never let her out at all?" "Only at night-time in fine weather, and then he marched her up and down the deck for only an hour or two. Even on these nocturnal occasions she was so thickly veiled that nobody could get a glimpse of her features." "Perhaps she was a 'pig-faced lady* that he had married for her dollars," .'Aid Jack; "or she might have, committed some crime, and he was helping her to escape. A murder perhaps- Good gracious. Bayues, how you made me jump'" CHAPTER VI. A« Jack Hali was speaking. Tom Baynes happened to be passing the open door with an armful of plates^ and dishes, and these he suddenly let fall with a crash upon the ground. "Dear me," cried Mrs. Hall, "&••/ dreadfully careless of you, Tom! M«ST are we to replace them? What eoald you have been thinking aboutr* "I am so very sorry, ma'am,** ae ipplied. "I must have slipped thing—I really don't know he leased up againet the ve looking M though but tor that he would have fallen down. "W»ll, there—don't look a* nan!" said Mr. Hall good "Pick up the pieces—why, Us* lad looki quite frightened. Vfcet* *re <w«rae accident* than that «t eat—ay. and on shore, too. for the fljpHsW of that!" Barnes did as ae was * | & tat be bad turned white to the he walked away with the broken crockery in his cook's apron, he repeated to hrruelf— "Ay, and ox. shore, too, for the matter of that." After a few months Mr*. Baynes' retirement ceased to excite much curiosity. She was an Idiot, she waa too ugly to face the daylight, she waa anything that could p'Mslbly be suggested whenever her name.'was mentioned; but Baynes was voted by all hands to be an obliging fellow and a capital cook, so the men soon ceased to worry him about his wife One day Baynes Risked permission to be allowed to repair and occupy an old hut which stexdf in a bit of neglected garden upon the hillside some two hundred yards or more from the men's quarters. Mr. Hall told him he might do as he pleased, go, with the assistance of one of the men, he took possession of the place, and very soot managed to make it snug and comfortable. Thither he removed his few goods and chattels, including Mrs. Baynes; but at what hour he made the exodus was never known, for the first intimation the station had of his having left his old quarters was the smoke issuing from the chimney of the renovated hut early the next morning. ' Mrs. Hall had, by her husband's advice, ceased to offer to call upon Mrs. Baynes. "The woman is queer, or a great invalid," he remarked. "Her husband suits me well enough, and she does your needlework. Why worry about her? 'Leave well atone' is my advice." Mrs. Hall found it extremely convenient to have a woman upon the station, even if she did choose to remain invisible. As Tom Baynes had at.first stated, his wife was not quick at her work, but was a wonderfully skillful needlewoman, and Bhe saved Mrs. Hall many a weary hour's darning. One evening In the middle of April, some five months after Tom Baynes' arrival, he was sitting in the kitehen with some of the men, when a swagsman carrying a bundle slung on a stick walked up to the Joor and asked for a night's lodging. "Looking for a job, mate?" asked one of the men, as he glanced up from his game of euchre, "Yes." "What lay are you on?"—"Knockabout hand." "New chum?" "Ay; not a very old one anyhow, governor." "How long have you been out?" "Only u l*w months; but I'll answer your Questions better after I've got outside a square feed and a pot of tea, I'll—be bound.—T'VP rnma a goodish step today." "Here you are, mate!" interrupted Tom Baynes, placing a plentiful supply of bread and meat in front of him. "Sit down and tackle that, and never nUnd their Jaw." The men laughed and went on with their game, until the stranger, having satisfied his hunger &nd lighted a pipe, seemed more inclined for being put through his paces. "Any chance of a Job here?" he presently inquired of the company in general. "Yes, I should think there ought to be," answered one. "You had better go up to the house and see the boss in the morning. He is pretty shorthanded since German Charlie and Big Jack went off to Sullivan's to blow their cheques." Baynes was sitting on a bench on one side of the hearth, resting his chin on his hands, and looking moodily into the flickering log-flre. "Where have I seen your, face before?" asked the stranger suddenly. "Somewhere, I'll swear." "I don't remember ever having seen you," replied Baynes, scrutinizing the other's features; "indeed I am sure I never have. What may your name be?" Mine's Boh Luke. What's yours?" "Luke!" echoed the cook, with a start. "Tea, L«ke. Anything wrong with it? Too aeem to know the name somehow— perhaps you know something acaiMt it?" "Wo,M said Baynes, I never knew anybody of that name. It was not that—I am subject to a stitch sometimes which takes me suddenly. Know anything against it? Ha, ha! How awH I? Why, I ne*er even heard of mm «I thought perhaps you might, that's all," rejoined the new-comer. "There was a wan called Luke—a relation. too, of mine—and he got into trouble, but his character was cleared from the charge. It makes a man touchy who happens to bear the same Jtame; and when I saw you start I thought perhapa you'd heard about it, and—and what may your name be?" "Mine? My name'a Tom Baynes. I'm a Londoner, and a nvm ohum, too, like you." (To be F R A N C E WILL Y I E L D F A S H O D A . Will RalM the Whol* K*yptUa Question and Dtraff Other Power* Into It. Paris dispatches say, on reliable authority, that the Fashoda question will be settled favorably to Great Britain by the recall of Maj. Marchand. France yields all, reserving only the question of the right to the Bahr-el- Ghazel district, which she does not consider as belonging to Egypt. M. Delcasse, however, has now decided to raise the whole Egyptian question. When the question is thus enlarged, France will not be alone. Egypt interests all the powers. Russia has promised M. Delcasse its most effective assistance and, besides, Germany has the biggest interest, in view of her East African possessions and trade in the far east that the Suez canal should not become exclusively British, and is disposed to support Franco-Russian arguments for a definite settlement of the Egyptian question. Oar Splendid New Coast Defenders. The Walker Manufacturing Co., of Cleveland, has just finished the first of the 11 carriages for the disappearing guns, for which it was awarded the contract last April by the government. A test shows that everything about the big machine works with the smoothness and accuracy of clockwork. The carriage weighs 107,000 pounds and the gun 32.000 pounds, but the gun is so balanced that it can be operated by hand if necessary. When finally mounted, however, all its movements will be controlled automatically, except the louding and aiming. The Walker Co. expect to finish a carriage every 30 days until all are completed. Delay in Bending- Troops to Cuba. Col. Waring's death has been the dominant factor in the change of plan on the* part of the administration as to the time of the sailing of the United States troops for Culm. It is recalled that three persons who went with the commission to Havana and had been quartered under the best auspices have died. It is not contemplated that the day of taking formal possession of Cuba will be postponed beyond Dec. 1, and Jan. 1 has been fixed upon as the limit within which the evacuation must take place, but the authorities do not seem in such haste since the dangers to our troops have been so clearly emphasized. CoL Waring- Dead. Col. Geo. E. Waring, Jr., of New York City, died at his home from yellow fever contracted while he was in the city of Havana as a special commissioner of this government to ascertain tlie exact sanitary conditions of that city and to form ideas for the best methods for putting the place in first class sanitary shape. He had reached New York on his return to report to thy President when taken ill. Col.

The Kentucky Court of Appeals held, In the recent case of Knauer vs. The City of Louisville, that a city cannot pass an ordinance which fixes the fees to be paid a public contractor for the removal of the carcass of an animal out of the city at such a sum as that the owner of the carcass could not pay them and realize aoything out of the body, as dead animals are not per £e nuisances., and that an ordinance which thus confiscates the property of the owner and gives it to the public contractor would deprive the owner of property rights in the animal which do not cease at its death.

Those who talk volubly upon their joys and their griefs are not generally those who are capable of the profoundest happiness or the most intense suffering. Those who can put into ready words the sanctities of love, and fluently express all its hopes and fears, have seldom penetrated to its depths. Those wh# utter glibly and unrestrainedly all their upward strivings, their sentiments of contrition, their feelings of revtreaee, their desire for worship, are sot usvally the most truly religious or dtrout.

From IUf«Utlou«, Chapt«r XXI, V«ra« 1, aa Follows:—"And I Saw » Mew Heaven"—A Glorious Spectacle— The ttereotyped heaven does not make adequate Impression upon us. We need the old story told In new style in order to arouse our appreciation. I do not suppose that we are compelled to the old phraseology. King James' translators did not exhaust all the good and graphic words in the English dictionary. I suppose if we should take the idea of heaven, and traualate it into modern phrase, we •would find that its atmosphere is a .combination of early June and of the Indian summer in October—a place combining the advantages of city and country, the streets standing for the one, and the twelvo manner of fruits for the other; a placa of musical entertainments— harpers, pipers, trumpetera, doxologles; a place of wonderful architecture—behold the temples; a place where there may be the higher forms of animal life—the beasts which. were on earth beaten, lash-whipped, and galled and unblanketed, and worked to death, turned out among the white horses which tiie Book of Revelation describes as being In heaven; a placB of stupendous literature—the books open; a place of aristocratic and democratic attractiveness—the kings standing for the one, all nations for the other; all botanical, pomoloslcal, ornithological, arborescent, worshipful beauty and grandeur. Bat my idea row is to speak chiefly of the improved neaven. People soaiejiBMft talk of heaven as though it were a i old city, finished centuries ago, when I bave to tell you that no tlty on earth, daring the last fifty years, lias had such changes as heaven. It is not the same place as when Job, and David, and Paul, wrote of it. For hundreds and hundreds of years it has been going through peaceful revolution, and year by year, and month by month, and hour by hour, and moment by moment, It is changing, and changing for something better. Away back there was only one residence in tbe universe—the residence of tbe Almighty, Heaven bad nct^et fcqen started. Immensity was the park all around about this great residence; but God's sympathetic heart after a while overflowed in other creations, and there came, all through this vast country of imnwMity, inhabited villages.which grew and enlarged until they Joined each other, and became one great central metropolis of the universe, streeted, gated, templed, watered, inhabited. wpnt. forth with a reed, we are told, and he measured heaven on one side, and then he went forth and measured heaven on the other side; and then St. John tried to take the census of that city, and he became so bewildered that he gave it up. That brings me to the first thought of my theme—that heaven is-vastly improved in numbers. Noting little under this head about the multitude of adults who have gone into glory during the last hundred, or five hundred, or thousand years, I remember there are sixteen hundred millions of people in the worW, and that the vast majority of people die in infancy. How many children have gone to heav?n during the last five hundred or thousand years! If New York should gather in one generation a million population, if London should gather in one generation four million population, what a vast increase! But tfhat j a mere nothing as compared with the five hundred million, the two thousand million, the "multitude that no man can number," that have gone into thai city! Of course, all this take»,t«for granted that every child that dies gpes as straight into tea van as ever/ the light sped from a star; and that iarjone reason why heaven will always^ be fresh and beautiful—the great maltitude of children in it. Put five hundred million children in a country, it will be a blessed and lively country. But add to this, if you will, the great multitude of adults who have gone* into -glory, and how the census of heaven must run up. Many years ago a clergyman stood in a New England ydttpit and said that he believed that the fexst majority of the race would flnajlj^be destroyed, and that not more tjjan one person out of two thousand persons would be finally saved. j happened to be about two people in the village where he pre£hed- . )J«xt Sabbat* two persons ij»re heard, discussing the sibject, and irondaring which one of the two thousand people la fW" village would finally heaven, and one thought^ it he the minister, and the. oft^er thought it would be the old fttaetm. New, i have not much admiration 4or a lifeboat wfa&k wltl go #»t to m ship slaking with two thousand passengers, aaa get ooe off in safety, And let ninettwm hundred a«d nks*ty-nioe go to the bottosa. Why, heave* must hare wftttt Atel, the irai soul from earth entsrtd it, a* compared with the present population of thai great city. Again: I remark that beavtn haa vastly improved In knowledge. Give a man forty or fifty years to study One science, or all sciences, with all the advantages of laboratories and observatories and philosophic apparatus, he will be a marvel of information. Now, into what intelligence must heaven mount, angelhood aud sainthood, not after studying foV forty or fifty years, but for thousands oC years—studying GoU and the soul aud immortality and the universeO How the Intelligence of that world must sweep on and on, with eyesight farther reaching than telescope, with power of calculation mightier than all human mathematics, with powers of analysis surpassing all chemical laboratory, with speed swift- 1 er than telegruphy. What must heaven learn, with all these advantages, in a mouth, in a year, in a century, in a millennium? The difference between the highest university on earth and the smallest class in a primary school cannot be a greater difference than heaven as it now is and heaven as it once was. Do you not suppose that when Dr. James Simpson went up from the hospitals of Edinburgh into heaven he knew more than ever the science of health; and that Joseph Henry.graduating from the Smithsonian Institution into heaven, a wo Ice into higher realms of philosophy; and that Sir William Hamilton, lifted to loftier sphere, understood better the construction of the human intellect; and that Jehu Milton took up higher poetry in the actual presence cf things that on. earth he had tried to describe? When the first saints entered heaven they must have studied only the A B C of the full literature of wisdom v/ith which they are now acquainted. Again, heaven is vastly improved in Its society. Danny your mci.iary how many exquisite spiiits have gone into it! If you shculd try to make a list of all the genial, loving, gracioiis, blessed sail* that you have known, It would be a very long li.st—souls that have gone into that glory. Now, do you suppose they have enriched the society? Have they not improved heaven? You tell of what heaven did for them. Have they done nothing for heaven. Take all the gracious souls that have gone out of your acquaintanceship, and add to them all the. gracious and beautiful souls that for Jive hundred or a thousand years have gone out of all the cities and all the villages, and all the countries of this earth into glory, and how the society of heaven must have been improved! Suppose Paul, the Apostle, were introduced into your social circle on earth; but heaven has added all the apostles Suppose Hannah More and Charlotte Elizabeth we/e introduced into your social circle on earth; but heaven has added all the blessed and the~gracious and the holy women of the past ages. -Suppose that Robert M'Cheyne ami John Siir.imrrneld should be added to your earthly circle; but heaven has gathered up all the faithful and earnest mirr^ry of the past. There is not a towi., ( •• . city, or a village that has Eo Improved In society in the last hundred years as heaven has improved. But you say, "Hasn't heaven always been perfect?" Oh, yes; but not in the sense that it cannot be augmented. It has been rolling on In grandeur. Christ has been there, and he never changes—the g&ine yesterday, tod^.y. and forever; glorious then, and glorious now, and glorious forever. JL>JL I speak now of attractions outside of this, and I have to tell you that no place on earth has improved in society as heaven ha3 within the last seventy years; for the most of you within forty years, within twenty years, within five years, within one year; in other words, by the accessions from your own household. If heaven were placed in groups—an apostolic group, a patriarchal group, a prophetic group, group of martyrs, group of angels, andthen a grottp-of your own glorified kindred—which group would you choose? . You might look around and make comparison, but it would not take you long to choose. Again, I remark that heaven has greatly improved in the good cheer ol announced victories. Where heaven rejoiced over one soul, it now rejoices over a hundred or a thousand. In the olden times, when the events of h'^- man life were scattered over four or five centuries of longevity, and the world moved slowly, th#re were not so many stirring events to be reported in heaven; but now, I suppose, all t&e great events of earth are reported in heaven. If there is any truth plainly taught in this Bible it Is that heaven is wrapped up- in sympathy with human history, and we took at those inventions of the day—at telegraphy, at swift communication by steam, at all these modern improvements which seem to give one almost omnipresence -vand we see only the secular relation; but spirits before the throne look out and — the vast and the eternal rela- Uoa. While nations rise and fall, while the earth is shakier with revodo iron not Mtppoa* there is arousing intelligence going .-p to tns throne of God, and that the Question is often asked before tht throo* "What is the news from that world— that world that rebelled, but Is com- Ing back to its allegiance?* If ministering spirits, according to the Bible, are sent forth to minister to thost that shall be heirs of heaven, when they coxue down to us to ble:>a us. do they not take the news back? Do the ships of light that, come out of the celestial harbor into the earthly harbor, laden with cargoes of blessings, go back unfreighted? Ministering spirits not only, but our loved ones leaving us, take up the tldiugs. Suppose you were in a far city, and had been there a good while, and you heard that some OIIQ had arrived from your native placesome one who had recently seen your family and friends—you would rush up to that man and you would ask al about the old folks at home. And do you not supp'ose when your child went up to God, your glorified kindred in heaven gathered around and asked about you, to ascertain as to whether ytfU were getting along well in the struggle of life; to find out whether you were in any especial peril, that with swift and mighty wing they might come down to intercept your perils? Oh, yes! Heaven Is a greater place for news than it used to h e - news that sounded through the streets, news ringing from the towers, news heralded from the palace gate. Glad news! Victorious news! • • • I do not think it was superstitious when, one Wednesday night, I stood by a deathbed within a few blocks ot the church wbera I pve^u.•.!, and on the same etreet, and saw one of the aged Christians of the church going into glory. Afier I had prayed with her I said to her, ' V/e have all loved you very much, a: . will, always cherish your memory in the Christian church. You will aee my son before I see him, and I wish you would give him our Jove." She said, "I will] I will;" and in twenty minutes she wa3 in heaven—the List words she ever spoke. It v:o? a swift message to the skies. If you h;;d your choice between riding in a heavenly chariot and occupying the grandest palace in heaven, and sitting on the throne next highest to the thrjne of God, and not seeing your departed loved ones; and on the other hand, dwelling in the humbleBt place in heaven, without crown or throne, und without garland, and without scepter, yet having your loved ones around you, you would choose the latter. I say these things because I want you to know it is a domestic heaven, and consequently it is all the time improving. Every one that goes up makes it a brighter place, and the attractions are increasing month by month and day by day; and heaven, so vastly more of a heaven, a thousand times mere of a heaven A N A T I O N OF DY<3F....-»TJC.">.

I enter the temples of worship, and there are no worshipers. I walk down the" street, and there are no passengers. I g 0 into the orchestra, and I Und the instruments are suspended in the baronial ~ halls of heaven, and the great organs of eternity, with multitudinous banks of keys, are closed. But I see a shining one at the gate, as though he were standing on guard, and I say, "Sentinel, what dees this mean? I thought heaven was a populous city. Has there been some great plague sweeping off the population?" "Have you not heard the news?" says the sentinel. "There is a world burning, there is a great conflagration out yonder, and all heaven has gone out to look at the conflagration and take the victims out ol the ruins. This is the day for which all other days are made. This\is the Judgment! This morning alt°fhe chariots, and the cavalry, and the mounted infantry rumbled and galloped down the sky." After 1 had listened to the sentinel, I looked off over the battlements, and I saw that the fields of air were bright with a blazing world. I eaid, "Yes, yes, this must be the Judgment;" and while I stood there I heard the rumbling of wheels and the clattering of hoofs, and the roaring of many voices, and then I saw the coronets and plumes and banners, and I saw lhat all heaven was coming b*.cic again—coming to tbe wall, coming to the gate, and the multitude that went off in the morning waa augmented by a vast multitude caught up alive from the earth, aed a vast multitude of tue resurrected bodies of the Christian dead, leaving the-cemeteries and the abbeys and the mausoleums and the graveyards of tht earth empty.

BaauB Aat Kate**. The eating of insects has not, hitherto, presented Itself as ft vice. Now. howtver, it appears that the indulgence of a strange taate for such food may be prejudicial to health and morality. Popular Science News prinU an account of what was at first looked upon as a new disease that broke out among a colony of wood-choppers in Maine. The "bolters," men who cut the rcAind timbers Into boards, were the first to be attacked by it. For a day or two they acted strangely, elnglng and laughing about their work, making much needless disturbance and showing great excitement. They lost all appetite for food, going the whole day without tasting a mouthful. Later their eyes grew bloodshot, and their limbs shook as if they were afflicted with palsy. At a more acute stage of the disease the men collapsed entirely. A doctor was called in, and at once pronounced them intoxicated. The rooms of the men were searched, but no liquor was found. Those about them were questioned, but could throw no light on the matter. Some of the symptoms did not indicate alcoholism. The pulse was slower and more regular than in cases of drunkenness, while the pupils of the eyes were enlarged to twice their natural size. The men remained in a semi-comatose •tate for several days, returning to •.heir senses only after repeated doses of medicine had been administered. When well enough to answer questions, the men all declared that they had taken no liquor. When asked to account for their illness, they said they believed it was brought on from sating large quantities of the great brown and red ants which they found in the hollow butts of the tree*. These insects are well known in all lumber camps, where the Frenchmen, and others with a taste for sharp acids, eat of them freely, winnowing them from the sawdust, and chewing them as they would radishes, or mixing them with molasses and using them as a substitute for cranberry sauce.

BeneSte of Mercllng. All those who teel hipped, nervous, Irritable and generally out of sort* very frequently want not medicine but a sufficiency of good exercise, and, If they have not already done so. they should indulge In bicycling, in our opinion there Is nothing to equal this form of exercise to keep one In health. Of course it must be understood that when recommending bicycle rid ing, we mean a sensible indulgence In this form of recreation, and not that pernicious form of it known as "scorching." The bicycle la the best form ol exercise we know as a health promoter, as it gives, or should give, an abundance of exercise without fatigue. Let us compare it tor a moment with walking. Suppose a man walks a mile? He will take on an average over 2,000 steps, at the same time, bear In mind, he carries the weight of hie own body at every step. When he rides a bicycle he will only make about 600 steps, at the same time requiring less force, and he has no weight to carry and gets over the ground in onethird the time. Exercise on the bicycle brings into action muscles that have lain almost dormant for years, increases the circulation, adds tone to the whole system, fills the capillaries with blood by forcing it to the surface of the body, and stimulates the viscera to Increased action. Again, passing through the air on a bicycle so swiftly exerts an exhilarating Influence, causing a glow of gladness to overspread the whole body, suffusing the cheeks with the roseate hue of health, fills the lungs with pure air and purifies the blood. It expands the lungs by deeper breathing, thus using up more oxygen; it creates a keen and healthy appetite, aids digestion, stimulates nutrition, and opens the pores of the skin, causing it to expel, and thus help the other organs to eliminate effete matter and waste products that, if allowed to remain, would clog up the pores and poison the whole system. If these are not sufficient inducement for all those who have not hitherto done so to join the ranks of cyclists they must indeed be hard to please. Something- Better Than Medicine. The following story from a London hospital has Its funny as well as its pathetic side: A woman nad been brought to the hospital in a very weak state. We could do nothing for her; she seemed to have lost all hold on life, an>1 gradually got worse and worse. The husband, who had often be«n to see her and who was kindness Itself, was sent for to take the last sad leave. He came, this time accompanied.

The general introduction of water throughout many sections of the country, especially those outlying districts near great cities, has put the old-fashioned well, to a great extent, out of commission. In most old places, however, there are still excellent wells that are practically going to waste because of a lack of knowledge of the best means to utilize their contents. A simple and effective device is the arrangement of a small and inexpensive water motor attached to the water supply service pipe at any convenient point. This motor operates a small farce pump which is fed from the well. This pump conveys a small but steady stream of water to a tank or renervolr which may be located at any spot where the fall will supply the premises. One many gather up the cobble stones about the place and build a water tower with a. tank in the top for a very small sum, provided the labor can be done at home, aitd at odd times. If this tank is situated on some bit of higher ground. so much the better, as it involves less height in the building of i t From this tank a continuous supply may be furnished to house, barn and outbuildings, care being taken to provide suitable receptacles or tubs for the water. For example: A tank in the house can have a ball valve attachment and close when the tank is full. The same device applied to the barn will give ample water supply there. The value of these little motor powers it that they work continuously, never stopping to rest, and rarely .breaking d*wn, being simple and constructed on the most approved principle*. When the general supply tank to fall this flb»ta oil also. The city water waicb. furnishes the motive powet is consumed only as far as required, aad the automatic shut-off en- -tarelr prevents waste. For very small tarnUUi* this pumping apparatus might n#t b* nroAUblsv but ,when any amount of water is required, it is quite a* practical to use the well, which to often improved by being continually drawn from.

I was in a fever of anxiety lest the shock Bhould hasten my patient's end. But I didn't know the power of rebound in human nature, especially obstinate feminine human nature. "Well, old woman," the man began, slouching up to the bed, in an apologetic air which he had never worn before, "you've got to go this time. The young woman (pointing to me) says there ain't no hope. You've been a good wife to me, and I shan't forglt yer. • • •" But he didn't get any further in his declarations of undying approval. The woman, who a minute ago had lain weak and listless, was alive^—and very much alive, too. Her eyes gleamed as she made an effort to get a good look at the other visitor, who was standing unabashed by the widower presumptive. I had to get the husband and his new-found love out of the ward as quickly as possible." I ain't dead, yet, nurse," my pattont gasped out as I came back. What all the doctors, tonics, wine and beef tea could not do, the sight of an existing rival and possible successor had done, and "soon a wonder came to sight," for the woman did not die. She mended from that day. We all took an interest in her. She had got a new reason for living, but I honestly admit we helped In her great effort with all the nourishment we coula" make her take.

Rubber, which has long been of service In many industries, has assumed greatly increased commercial importance since the general introduction of j the bicycle. An attempt has been made to produce a rubber substitute with the oil derived from corn, says j the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It is claimed that by vulcanizing the oil with an equal quantity of crude rubber a substance Is produced equal for certain purposes to the beat native gum j at a greatly lessened cost. It is said that the new "corn rubber" possesses all the essential qualities of Para rubber, including resiliency, and the discoveries of the new product are hopeful of baiag able to utilize it for bicycle tires. A sample of corn rubber, of which a partial test has been made by an expert, appeared to be similar in many respects to the substitutes made from rapa seed and cotton oils. This authority points out that the claim made by the manufacturers that "50 per cent of their substitute with pure rubber will produce as good, and In some respects better, results itself," does not mean much to the practical rubber compounder, for the same thing is true of a host of materials. For example: Fifty per cent of whiting mixed with pure rubber will do better for many purposes than pure rubber itselt If, however, this corn-oil substance can be added to reclaimed rubber to good purposes it will prove very interesting to the trade.

October 27 the DISPATCH published a letter from. one of onr boys at Gamp Meade, and the follow* ing week a letter was published in the Fowlerville Review, signed by E. A. Burden almost identically with inst a few words changed and the names of those who took part in the games were left out. Now last week low and behold the same letter appeared in the Republican at Ho well with J. J. Gannon's name signed and its editor is somewhat puzzled over the fact where the Review got its.letter. Yea! veriso are we; although our curiosity goes even a step farther and wonders where the Republican got it, We know wherft the DISPATCH got its letter, as it came direct, by request, straight from the pen of one of our "boj?s in blue" from old Pinekney, who signed himself, "One of the Boys" which gave others tbe opportunity to fiign "any old name" and have it appear at "any old place.11 The DISPATCH would be pleased hereafter to receive due credit. Anderson Farmer's Club. The meeting of the Anderson Farmer's Club at the home of Mr. F. W. Allison, on Saturdy, Nov. 12, was well attended. An excellent program, which related more dosely to agricultural topicB than usual, was rendered. A paper on "The Culture of Small Fruits," was read by Miss Mollie Wilson and the discussion of the same was led by Rev. N. Pierce. In speaking of small fruit culture, Rev. Pierce said: that he did not hope to arouse as much enthusiasm as by discussing Pingreeism, but he thought the subject could be made pleasant as well as profitable. He said, in part: that but few realized the aggregate value of small fruits, and further, that instead of decreasing in value, they were growing more, profitable each year. His experience bad taught him that the Wilson and Warfield varieties of strawberries were the best lor sandy soil, and would give 'good results when grown there*- Easpberries, he said, required a heavier soil than strawberries. R. G. Webb spoke a few minutes further upon the same subject, but said that Mrs. Webb had always attended to the care of the small fruits and could give a better talk than he. The remainder of the program, and the appointment of the committie8 followed and the next meeting was arranged to take place at the borne of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Heiuunugway, near Pinekney, on tbe second Saturday in December. \: The Club appointed as delegates to the county convention of Farmer's Clubs, C.

Boor of a New Theater Collapses at Detroit Kllliajr Twelve Ken and Severely Injuring Nearly a Score of Others— Our-Troop* Go to Cuba. Dreadfol Disaster at Detroit. The new Wonderland building, OD Monroe avenue, near the Campus Martius, Detroit, was nearing completion and was almost ready for dedication as a playhouse for the people when one of the most terrible castrophes occurred ever known in the history of the Michigan metropolis. A newly-patented roof, was just being completed. It consisted of heavy trusses laced between with iron rods in which was laid four inches of cement and on this a thick layer of concrete. This made an absolutely fire-proof roof and it was also of great weight. There were about 40 men employed in the structure, when, without an instant's warning, the entire roof fell in upon them carrying the upper gallery floor and an immense amount of scaffolding and temporary work down to the lower floor. The workmen were buried under an indescribable mass of debris consisting of heavy iron and steel work—broken and twisted as though they were lath—timbers of all kinds, brick, cement and mortar. Fortunately but a small portion of either wall fell or it is likely not a man in the building would ever have escaped alive. The walls were left standing in a dangerous condition. The noise of the falling, crushing, grinding mass was followed by the cries and groans of the poor fellows in the ruins. The fire department and hospital ambulances were on the scene fn a very short time and even then the work of rescue had been begun by spectators who risked their lives under the dangerous walls. An immense crowd soon blocked the street. Within half an hour seven mangled forms had been removed and sent to the hospitals and morgue, and the work was continued until 12 dead bodies had been removed and 15 badly injured workmen had been sent to the hospitals. Two of the latter will probably die. t While the work of rescue was going on at night by the aid of electric lights which had been hastily put in, a portion of the east wall fell when about 250 persona were in the building. Most of the brick fell outside the structure, however, and no one was severely injured, although a score were scratched and bruised in their efforts to reach the street. The owners of the building, the architect and the contractors declare that they cannot say what was the cause of the catastrophe. But a thorough investigation will be made and the blame placed if possible. Mayor 'Maybury called a mass meeting of citizens at which $1,000 was raised as a nucleus of a fund to assist the families of the dead and injured. The financial loss was about 830.000.

Refuse to Give Up the Philippines on the Demand of Uncle Kam—The French Republic In Danger. The Spanish peace commissioners have flatly refused to accept the proposition made by the Americans to take the entire Philippine group and to reimburse Spain for her "pacific" expenditures there. The Spaniards presented their case in a lengthy statement in which they held that the United States had no ultimate rights in the Philippine > islands and could have none save by the consent of Spain in these negotiations and upon terms satisfactory to her. According to the Spanish contention, the United States entertained no thought of annexing the Philippines when the protocol was signed or it would have been expressed in the protocol as clearly as the conditions regarding the cession of territory In the Antilles , and the orient. The Dons declare that Spain distinctly informed M. Cambon before the signing of the protocol that Spain's control of the Philippines should not be affected by the protocol. They further maintain that the capitulation of Manila having occurred after the signing of the protocol and thus after the suspension of hostilities was invalid. The Spanish commissioners charge the U. S. with wrongfully appropriating public moneys belonging to Spain by seizing the tariff duties at Manila, and they formally demanded the return of these moneys in the sum of 81,000,000. On the same premises the United States was declared to have made and held as prisoners the Spanish troops at Manila in violation of international law because done after the suspension of hostilities under the protocol. A further charge made was that by the imprisonment 61 the Spanish troops at Manila the United States had prevented Spain from quelling the insurrection and had thus contributed to the violence against Spain after the cessation of hostilities. The Spaniards also cited the refusal of the Americans to consider the Cuban debt, on the ground that it was not sanctioned in the protocol and demanded an adherence to this precedent in the discussion of the Philippines, regarding a cession of which the Spanish commissioners held the protocol to make no mention.

Baynes very shortly afterwards got up and went off home to his hut. As one of the men had informed Luke, Mr. Hall happened to be short of hands just then, and upon applying to him the n«>;t morning he got taken on. Things went on for some time very much as usual. There weve cattlebrandings, .breaking in of horses, and Sunday kangaroc-hunts, indulging in a drunken bout at Sxilltvan's, the "Bush Inn," a few miles oif, the latter divertlon being mur,h to Mr. Hall's inconvenience and disgust. Sullivan's "lightning" rum was not only guaranteed to make men drunk, but it had the peculiar effect, after a few days' steady drinking, of sending them raving mad. This was net to be wondered at; as Mr. Hall frequently told his. men on the station, for the chief components were spirits of wine, brown sugar and tobacco A noticeable alteration had taken place in Tom Bay nee' demeanor since the arrival of Robert Luke upon the station. He seemed to have relapsed into his old moody manner, which he had apparently get ild of as he had become used to the pkice. He was now never in the men's hut longer than was ^brolutely necessary for th© performance o! his duties, and he shut himself up more than ever away from them all. "How precious fond of that missus of his he must be!" SPid Luke one night. "It's queer no one s ever had a eight of her. Hasn't no one for crrtain ever seen her?" "Not as I knows on," returned one of his mates. "What does it matter to you if you see her or not? She's an invalid, that's what she is. And b*»'s a good: 9)4t4, and grov'ides £ood grub all round." "I'll try and get a look at her, and 'chance the ducks'" retorted' Rob Luke. "What right has she to go and shut herself up? It puzzles my brains where I have seen that chap Baynes before,." After this Luke was constantly prying about in the endeavor to get a peep into Baynes' hut. One ni?ht he succeeded in creeping close up to it without disturbing the Inmates. There was, however, no possible means of peeping in, so Luke lay down In the shadow behind the chimney and listened. He could not catch a single word. If the inmates of the hut were talking they must have been doing so in very low tones. By-and-by, however, the door opened, and in the stream of light that came from within, Luke beheld a woman walk out into the open air. A shawl partly concealed her features as she went down the little garden path to the gate. Then she stopped for some ten minutes with her back towards the watcher, looking out into the night. "I shall see her better when she is coming back," thought Luke. But at that moment the lamp inside the hut was extinguished, and he could see .nothing more than the shadowy form of the woman as she turned round and re-entered the dwelling. Rotprt Luke felt baffled, and his curiosity became keener than ever. When he reached the hut in which he slept, he found it empty. The men were still haggling over their greasy cards at euchre in the kitchen. Sitting down by the plank table, upon which stood the slosh lamp-—a tin patt&ikln full of sheep's fat with a rag for a wick—Luke pulled out an eld jK>c|fetboolt, and drew from It a worn And dirty paper. Unfolding it,', be read'&e Vadltf& "One Thousand Pounds Reward," The rest of the printed, natter,' which he read through nontalfi(S(d"|He'description of fitarttottlana A l i e Dodaon. k «Ja't$henf%tjan* rate."

The drays are up from town, and we are so short of a number of things that I am sending some pack-horses to meet them, so you can load up with whatever you think we most require. The bullocks are so done up that I hear they will not be able to come any farther for the next three days. Very provoking it Is, to be sure. I suppose all the men will get drunk there. However, it can't be helped." "How am I to go, sir?" asked Baynes. "On foot?" "Oh no!" replied Mr. Hall, laughing. "I hear you are rather afraid of mounting A horse, but I have left my rrre Vinegar up in the yard. She is quite quiet, so you need not be alarmed. One of the men will saddle her for you, if you don't know how to set about it." Tom Eaynes set out shortly after the men's dinner was served, amidst roars of laughter and much chaff from the station hands. "What, never been on a horse before, Tom?" cried one. "Get along with you! Hold tight on to her mane^-that way. Now then, off you go! Stick to her, mate! Ho, ho, ho!"—and, spanking the old mare on the flank with his hand, he started her off in the proper direction. Mr. Hall stopped at the kitchen upon hii* return in the evening, and called one of the men out to take his horse. "Has Baynes come back yet?" he asked. "No, sir." the man replied. "I don't eee how he could get back tonight. They will have to unload a good part of two drays to get at the things he wants." "True. Ah, well, there's not much fear of his getting on the drink— that's one reason why I sent him! If you had gone, Charlie," he added to the roan; "I don't suppose I should hive seen Vtns back for a month." "Very likely, sir—that is, If one* I tasted," replied Charlie. "Most curious way it is with me—if I don't taste I don't want it, once I've had a sup, was startJts GIK for the too. there's no stopping of me. I must go right away to the end of my cheque." "Well, take my advice, and never taste again, Charlie," said his master, as he walked o3 in the direction of the hcuso. V.'hile this conversation took place, Robert Luke was standing close by; j and shortly afterwards he walked over j to the store, where everything the men ] required could be purchased, from boots p.nd -Airts to patent pills. "Good fining, Luke," said the storekeeper. "And how's the world usirg you? Want some tobacco, or what? We shall have a heap of new th:nc;s up in a day or two, when the drays arrive." "Xo. thank you," replied Luke; "I just came over to beg an envelope and a sheet of paper. The mail-bag is made up tonight,, isn't it?" "Yes. 5n half an hour. Writing to your girl, Luke?" asked the man as he threw over the required articles. "Put it short and sweet." "No. I am not writing to my girl," replied Luke--"only to a brother." Leaning on the counter in a quiet corner of the store, Robert Luke set to work, and wrote the following letter— Oare of Charles Hall, Esq., Redmount Station. Barrier Ranges, N. S. Wales, May 25th, 18—. Dear Bill—Come out at once. Never mind the public. Leave your wife to look after it I am on the right track. I didn't serve five years in the Metropolitan Police for nothing. When I landed I made my way up country. I didn't stay long in Sydney, as I thought it was the wrong place to look for them. You know I felt certain that they had made for Australia, because in Barren's evidence he swore you had talked of going there; and you ar.sured me afterwards that it was him as was always talking of it Well, after working my way from station to ftetiou, I arrived here. The first niphi ' utered the kitchen I was etartted hy •' « resemblance of the cook—a nan called Baynes—to the girl Anne Dodson who gave evidence *A your trial, and who Ja now wanted. He bears such a strong likeness to her that I am sure he must be a relation. What is mpre, he is lately out from home, and there is a mystery about his wife, who is constantly shut up ia & hut here. My belief is that Baynes Is Anne Dodson't brother and is keeping her here in hiding until he can dear her off elsewhere. I mean to ECC her i ^ or no. Bayncs n away fetching some stores, and won't be home until morning. So tem'B my chancel I will let you know by next mall how I succeed, but don't wait for letter*. Come out here—we'll have that thousand pounds yet! You can swear to them, as you lived In the same service. I cannot be certain, as I only caught a glimpse of them in the court, but I fancy I should know the man Bartlett anywhere. I will remain here or in the neighborhood until your arrival. Your affectionate brother, ROBERT LUKE. Varysburg, N. Y. The envelope was addressed to "Mr. William Luke, 'Hare and Hounds,' Islington, London," and, having read the letter carefully through, Luke sealed it up, and dropped it into the mail-bag. He retired to rest that night at the same time as the other men who slept in his hut. "The last man dowses the glim!" shouted one fellow as he rolled himself up in his blanket. "That's me," replied Rcfc«jrt Luke, a^ he took off his boots. Then, having extinguished the light with his finger and thumb, he threw himself down upon his bunk. Hour after hour passed, and the steady stentorian breathing of his companions told him that they all slept. Presently he raised himself gently to a sitting posture, and in doing so he made the wooden bunk creak. He listened for some seconds. No—the men were undisturbed. Gradually he reached the floor, holding his breath lest the slightest noise on his part should awaken one of his companions. Then he felt his way in his stockinged feet softly to the door, which was secured by a common wooden latch. He managed to open the door without a sound, and, when outside, he let the latch fall slowly into its place with the string attached to it from without. He paused and listened, but they all slept on. The moon was nearly at the quarter, and the shadows from the Ranges lay broad and dark upon the lower ground beneath. Beyond the cry of a nighthawk or owl, the whir of a bat, or the croaking of frogs in the stagnant pools near the creek there was not a sound to be heard. Luke walked along in the direction at Baynes' hut, which, lying in the shadow of the hill, would have been difficult for one not knowing the locality to discover; but Robert Luke knew his way well. In a few minutes he stood outside the door. There was no sign of life to be seen within He tried the handle, and found t!m ^ftie door was locked. Then he crept round to the window. which was unglazed and had coarse calico nailed acroes in lieu of glass. After peering about for some minutes, he detected a speck of light shining dimly through an inner curtain. Probably there was a moth-hole in the blanket which had been hung Inside to prevent the light from being seen from without. The keyhole and every chink seemed stopped securely. How easily he might slit the calico across with his knife and effect an entrance! But then, suppose his surmises were to prove wrong, what excuse could he make for thus disturbing the woman in the middle of the night? _^ Luke's heart beat fa6t. It seemed to him as if he were on the very brink of making some discovery, and yet was to be balked. He stood still and thought a while. Then it occurred to him that he might knock, pretend he was ill, and ask for brandy. The men on the station had none, he knew. Yes, there could be no harm in that. He knocked on the panels of the door, but no answer came. He knocked again, and spoke. "Mrs. Baynes, would you kindly give me a drop of brandy if you hare such a thing. I am sorry to trouble yon at this time of night, but I am not very well. I am Luke—Bob Luke." Still not a word came in reply. He called out again more loudly— "Mrs. Baynee—d'ye hear, Mrs. Baynes r Growing bolder, he determined ** try the strength of the door. Placing his shoulder against it. he turned the handle and leaned upen It with his whole weight. Suddenly the door gave way, and he was precipitated Into the room. Recovering himself, it was yet several seconds before he could distinguish any objects around him—the sudden transition from the darkness without to the glare, of a lamp had danled his eyes. When he recovered from the first confusing effects of the light, he saw a sight that sent him staggering back against tbe walL and for a moment deprived him of the pewer of speech. He was bewildered, and could not find breath to say the wordc which were upon his lips. • sound of hone's hoofs approachlag the hut made him suddenly took round, and then he knew no BKVS.

" SjpcotUts Dispose of the Idea Thmt There It Any Such Thing. At a recent meeting of the British Medical association, held in Edinburg, the subject of hypnotism was a principal topic of discussion, and many interesting statements were made by physicians and other Bcientiflc investigators concerning it That it has been usefully employed la cur- Ing some persons of the morphine habit and of the drink habit seemed to be established, but as to its general value as a therapeutic agent there was much difference of opinion, and no conclusion was reached. An interesting point that was left unsettled was: "Does the hypnotizer infuse power into the mind of the patient, or merely evtike it?" Instances were given of cases where there was actual transmission of power from the hypnotizer to the hypnotized, but in the large majority of cases no such transmlssion occurred;- Naturally the "criminal suggestion" feature of the subject was moet debated, and Dr. Bramwell, an eminent London physician, stated that he had not during hla nine years' experience with hypnotism ever seen an Instance where a patient had received the least suggestion of an act that would be repugnant to him in his normal state. To a question by one «f the members, "Whether the hypnot!*ed patient could toe got to sign a check for £500 under • the statement that It was only for £5." | Dr. Bramwell replied: "Absolutely and certainly not. A hypnotized sub- ' ject did not lO6« one single power which he had in the normal state; on the contrary, he gained others." This is quite interesting and goes far to dls- \ prove the sensational stories that have . appeared in the newspapers from time ; to time concerning hypnotism as a defense in criminal cases. Novelists have also been active in disseminating the belief that persons can be influenced by hypnotic suggestions to perform acts they would not perform when In a normal condition. Dr. Bramwell and other scientific investigators have now quite effectually exploded this delusion. Comfort for Womu. Some time ago Pullman's Palace Oar. company built three parlor cart tqi the B. & O.'s New York trains, and th radical departure from other caff a this character lay in the toilet room for ladies, which was eight feet to length. Recently the same company has built eight new sleepers for the New York-St. I^ouls line of the B. & OH and the designer of the cars ha» eridently been impelled by the popularity of the ladies' retiring room in w parlor cars to give to the ladies a Tait deal more space than they ever had before in sleeping cars. These new caw are said by the Pullman people to be the finest they ever turned out, and the ladies' retiring room is exceedingly commodious, and contains, beside* other toilet necessities, a dresser with a long pier glass.

An exchange says that it costs the Royal Baking Powder Co., something like *500,000 annually for advertising. Some one suggested to the company that it discontinue advertising for one year, the baking powder being so well advertised and place the amount $500,000 in the profits. The answer was that it would cost the company three times that amount to get the product into its original channels again- This is a good pointer to those business men who imagining they are making a great saving when they discontinue a $4 or $6 a month advertisement a few months in a dull senson.

What a pity it is becoming almost an impossibility to find an intelligent wellbred young woman who is willing to care for the daily necessities of a family, and relieve in a measure the overtaxed wife and mother. And what a pity, too, that so many young women are living on starvation wages in offices and stores or some other "genteel" form of employment, taking the places that rightfully belong to men who have wives and little ones dependent upon him, when they might be earning an easier and better living in some pleasant home.

Marriage among natives of South Africa Is very much a matter of pounds, shillings and pence, shorn of the glamour of romance by the fact that the bride is estimated at so many covi or oxen by her callous and practical father, says the New York Telegram. The kafflr patriarch rejoices in a multiplicity of daughters—-for they are truly the props of his old age—and each dusky damsel taken off his hands by an ardent suitor means an increase in his herds, calculated with mathematical precision, according to the rank ot the bride's father. For instance, the hereditary in charge of a tribe when parting with his daughter need set no bonds to his bovine ambition, and tne legend "Brides are cheap to-day" Is meaningless to one of such exalted rank. A mere appointed chief la charge of a tribe, dares not demand more than twenty head of cattle tat his daughter, bnt ten head is the aTtr* age payment made.

There Is a wide field and large profits for a well-managed line, and It should be an American one, flying the stars and stripes, if possible. Many of the •tores of Athens—all those that keep Imported articles—exhibit American goods for sale as English goods, they having been Imported from England. Greece, says the consul, imports nearly all kinds of goods and machinery. : The Orleans family in France has Always been famous for Its small economies.

His grandmother coyced him with money to learn them. At first she gave him a pansy, but -when the taw how easily it was earned, tke eld lady reduced the prize to a halfpenny and then to a farthing. There is no telling how low the amount per hymn, might have fallen, but just at thia time his grandfataer made a discovery -which seemed moro desirable to Spurgeon. He discovered that his hou*e was overrun with rats, and offered his grandson a shilling a dozen for all he could kill. The occupation of rat-killing gave him moro money than learning hymns. "But," Mr. Spurgeon characteristically says, "I know which employment has been, the more permanently profitable to me." Years of suffering relieved in a night.

The French embassy has presented a most formidable statement to the state department, being an account of the various Spanish bonds owned by French citizens chargeable against these territories. The sum total of these bonds runs up far into the millions. The U. S. government, of course, will not pay them, but it may be that the French government looks to it to cause the independent government of Cuba to assume liability for redemption of the bonds when that government is duly installed. It is probable that other holders of like bonds, German and British and perhaps even Spanish, will take similar steps. Mile* Report Bard on Alger. Maj.-Oen. Nelson A. Miles has completed and submitted to the war department his report covering the entire period of hostilities between the United States and Spain. Friends of Gen. Miles who claim to be cognizant of the contents of the report, say It is exhaustive in dealing' with the minutest details, and many things which have not been clear to the general public as to the conduct of the war are fully and comprehensively explained. They say it will be a bitter dose for Secretary Alger to awallow to make it public. The report practically states that the muddled.condition of matters relating to the army status is due to the fact that much information was given out and was contradicted by the secretary of war. The Cuban Assembly. The Cuban assembly at Santa Cruz was called to order by Gen. Calixto Garcia, temporary chairman. Domingo Mendez Capote, was made permanent president. Gen.

Zmovieff, the Russian ambassador to Turkey, has formally proposed the appointment of Prince Georare ot Greeoe, as governor of Crete. The Russian government contemplates constructing a great ship canal to connect the Baltic and Black seas. The estimated cost is 9155,000,000. Gen. Blanco fears that the Spanish troops in Cuba who have not received their salaries in several months will riot and cause serious trouble, particularly in Havana. German newspapers comment most unfavorably upon the demands of the U. S. for the whole of the Philippines, and some of them strongly hint that Germany might interfere. President McKinley's message to congress will be a very strong and urgent appeal for immediate legislative action for the construction of the Nicaragua canal under government direction. Thy Italian anarchist, Luigi Luccheni, who stabbed and killed Empress Elizabeth, of Austria, on September 10 last in Geneva, Switzerland, was found guilty and sentenced to a rigorous life imprisonment, the heaviest penalty in that country.

Gen. Wood, governor of the military department of Santiago, went to Guantanamo and had a hot consultation with Gen. Perez, who has continually refused to disband his Cuban troops. Gen. Wood made the Cuban see the folly of his action and he finally agreed to do as the Americans requested. Gen. Perez was then appointed mayor of Guantanamo and his followers will be given work on plantations. Gen. Luque, Spanish military governor of Holguin, before leaving for Spain, wrote a tart letter to Gen. Blanco, saying Cubans had governed Gibara in an orderly way since the surrender of Santiago, while Americans under Col. Kay indnlged in drunken carousals as soon as they arrived, tore down Cuban flag's, insulted Cubans and disgusted Spaniards. Cubans joined Spaniards, he says, in shouting "Viva Espana," to affront Americans. A bitter race feeling between the whites and blacks in various parts of North and South Carolina has culminated in terrible bloodshed. At Wilmington, N.

In Damascus drunken men are called victims of "the English disease." DOWN ON THE FARM. Tillers of the Soil Appreciate the Uttte Wonder-worker* '"u Near the little town of Wood's 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 a farm appreciate what it means to follow the plow from sunrise to sunset, but if the public in general don't know how bard 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 realized that the tired feelings mostly always came from tired kidneys, and that the little wonder-workers, Doan'b 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 notioed when I stooped, lifted or changed my position suddenly, early in the fall of 1807, that I was always rewarded with sharp pains across the small of my back, and in the morning I was so lame and sore that I oouid scarcely get out of bed. The too frequent action of the kidney secretions, espeuttallv annoying at night, plainly indicated that my kidneys were the cause ot the trouble. I had often heard Doaa's Kidney Pills spoken about by my neighbors, and as it was tke first time I required such a preparation, I procured a box. I noticed 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. I make no mistake when I say that Doan's Kidney PU Is cure backache and kidney complaint. Doan's Kidney Pills are sohfbyXall dealers Price 50 cents per box, or six boxes for $2.50.

It has always seemed to me that the eons of the clergy and the Judges are apt to have an unusual amount of spirit and virility. It looks as if the suppression of natural instincts by the holders of these, the most Mcred and responsible offices in the community, found its vent In their sons. Judges' sons are proverbially wild at Oxford. Sons of clergymen, to their honor—for wlldness at college generally implies expense— do not sov wild oats at the universities, but lead fcdvonturouR IWes In th» colonies." The article elaborates th« fact that a large number of empiremakers, such as Warren Hastings, Nelson, were all sons of Bach U The actions of men wounded in battle are often misunderstood.

"r. i. f • News of the Day as Told Over the Slender Wires. DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN NEWS 8panlah Troop* Break Out la a Mutiny In Cuba—High, British Official Give* MTraae* a Hot Warning—D«wejr Fean Treachery From Agnlnaldo. 8panUh Troops la Cuba Bfutlny* Reports from Puerto Principe and Nuevitas, Cuba, say that 7,000 regular soldiers mutinied, demanding their pay before embarking Spain. About 4,000 armed soldiers presented themselves in front of the palace, calling on the military governor, Emilio March, for their overdue pay. Thereupon, Gen. March drew his sword and ordered them to disband. The soldiers, however, refused to obey, and some of them threatened the life of Gen. March, who returned his sword to its scabbard and told them to kill him if that was their purpose. The soldiers then calmed down somewhat and said they only wanted their money before embarking. Gen. March promised them that they would be paid and the soldiers returned to their quarters. The cruiser Alfonso XIII, and the gunboats Conde de Venadito and Infanta Isabel have proceeded from Havana for Nuevitas to compel the soldiers to embark, after which they will proceed to Gibara for a like purpose. A more serious affair was that at Havana where the soldiers of the Orden Publico started a revolt because of arrearages and for two days a serious outbreak was threatened. Gen. Blanco, however, pacified them with a portion of the money due them and promised the rest as soon as possible. Gen. Blanco then ordered all the foot and mounted regiments of the Orden Publico to be disbanded. As originally planned, It was intended that the mutiny should have extended to the Gardia Civil and the artillery regulars, and it would in that event have assumed much graver importance and might perhaps have inaugurated a reign of terror and bloodshed in the island. I Hanna 8ay» Tariff Most be Revised. : Senator Hanna declares that the tariff will have to be revised to meet existing conditions. "The war revenue measure must be revised, but we will keep many of the original features of the law, simply because it is now necessary. Under the old tariff law we are not getting very much revenue because we are exporting instead of importing, and somethinj t o meet these new conditions. We must have a new revenue measure." Dioirley 8»y» There'll be No Revision. Chairman Dingley, of the House ways and means committee, says that the war tax will not be abolished at the coming short session of congress, and that there will be no revision of the tariff whatever. Btajr Declare War Agatnat Ufc Capt. John Barneson. commander of the U. S. transport Arizona, has returned from Manila on leave of absence. He says the general impression among army officers was that when thv peace commission concludes its labors the U. S. troops will have serious trouble with the natives. It is said that Aguinaldo has promised his men that immediately upon the' withdrawal of the Spaniards he will declare war against the United States and will kill off Americans soldiers faster than the U. S. government can ship them to the islands. Capt. Barneson states that Admiral Dewey told him that Aguinaldo was not only unreliable, but treacherous. BrttUh H u t Control the Nile Tall*?. Joseph Chamberlain, British secretarj of state for colonies, in a speech at Manchester, said it was the hope ot every friend of peace that the French withdrawal from Fashoda is indicative of the acceptance of the principle of British control of the whole valley of the Nile, regarding which there cannot be any discussion whatever. He alao warned French politicans that the? must abandon their tactics intended to hamper and embarrass British policy, where the French have no interest* to protect, notably in Newfoundland. Mr. Chamberlain expressed the sincerest friendship for "our American Waat Doty ew Representatives of the white and yellow pine industries of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri and other states met at St. Louis and adopted a memorial to the American- ^•aitian Joint high commission asking that the present very low duty on lumber, amounting to lets than 90 per cent ad valorem, be not further reduced, and that the lumber industry be left > to be a great deal of talk as to the possibility of an extra <&, cfftugress qesfc March, Mk embers'nf the administration the question teem y THE PHILIPPINES A STICKLER. The Petie* Negotiations Almost to a Standstill. Since the American peace commissioners announced to the Spanish commissioners that the United States in tended to take possession of the Phil ippines the negotiations have not been progressing very rapidly. At the latest meeting the Dons reaffirmed the position which they have assumed against tae discussion by the commission of Spain's Philippine sovereignty. They insist that the words "shall determine the control, disposition and government of the Philippines" in the articles of the peace protocol do not warrant any reference to Spain's withdrawal from the Philippines, except on her own terms. Madrid advices say the Spanish commissioners will maintain their present attitude and will certainly not accept the conditions of the United States. Further, if the discussion does not return to the limits of the protocol, as viewed by the Spaniards, the Spanish commissioners have fully decided not to sign a treaty of peace. Paris dispatches assert that the Spanish premier desires to protract the peace negotiations to the utmost, because he fears that the signing of the treaty will be the end of his public career and will possibly cause the fall or the dynasty. There is heavy disappointment throughout Spain at the utter failure of the Spanish peace commissioners to secure important concessions from the United States. Washington authorities say that the American commissioners will name the exact amount of money which the United States is willing to pay over to Spain for the Pacific expenditures made on account of the Philippines." As to the amount which will be offered to Spain the officials are mute, but ic is believed to lie somewhere between 920,000,000 and 940,000,000. Our commissioners do not look for an unconditional rejection of our offer, but believe the Dons will haggle over the amount to be paid them. A CRIME AGAINST HEALTH. The U»e •# A l i a ta Food. Recent investigation shows that the stores are largely stocked with baking powders which contain alum, the injurious ingredient which the Iowa and Minnesota State Boards of Health have so strongly condemned. England, Germany and France have laws prohibiting the use of alum in bread, and the States of Minnesota and Wisconsin forbid baking powder containing alum to be put upon the market unless the words "this baking powder contains alum" are printed upon the label of every package offered for sale. This ts the danger signal rows out for the protection of the people. Yet many of the makers of alum baking powders sueh as the Calumet," while keeping away from Minnesota and Wisconsin, have the effrontery to offer their condemned powders to consumers here. These alum powders are frequently labeled "pure," "best in the world," "none so good," or with some other equally misleading catch phrase. Below will be found a partial Hat of the baking powders sold in this market that have been examined and found to contain alum: CALUMET. - - Contains Alum. (Calumet Baking Powder Co.. Chicago.)

NESFIELD. CHAPTER VIII. "What, horse was that I heard galloping about in the night?" inquired Mr. Hall on the following morning. "Did any break out of the paddock?" "No, sir; it was Baynes," replied one of the hands. "He rode up in the night." "BayneE? What did he come back for?" "Ho said they were all drunk and lighting down at Sullivan's, and he could find no place to sleep in, BO he rode home." "He must go back at once then; I can't have those pack-horses hanging about down there for days together." "He has gone, sir. He started off at >* daylight." "That's all rlsrht, then," said Mr. Hall. When the men who slept in Bob Luke's hut pot up that morning, they noticed that he had already gone out. "I wonchr -whnt made Luke turn out so early?" one of them remarked; but co further notice was taken of his absence until breakfast time. "What's become of Luke?" asked a stockman, as there was no sigfn of him when that meal was nearly finished. "You had better put that etew on the flre to keep hot for him. Maybe ho is out after some of the horses." Dinner-time came, but no Luke; and shortly afterwards Mr. Hall happened to want him. "No one has seen him this morning, sir," was the answer he received. "We can't think what's becoree of him." "No one has seen him?" repeated Mr. Hall. "What do you mean? He slept on the station last night, I sup- Cose ?" "He slept in my hut," replied the man, "and turned in as usual last night. I noticed that in particular, because he was toe last in bed, and had to put out the light. When we awoke this morning, he was already up and out, but we didn't take much notice of that." "Had his bed been felept in?" "I suppose BO, sir. I never looked. He went to bed, I am sure, as 1 Jay "awaTTe for a good ten minutes after I turned in, and I never heard him go out." "Come with me to the hut and show *ae his bunk," continued Mr. Hall. The bunk that Luke was in the habit of sleeping In had evidently been used, but the blankets had not been turned down. "There is his hat," cried a man, "and there are his boots on the ground! That's odd anyhow!" "Perhaps he put on another pair," suggested the squatter. "No, sir. Bob Luke had only this one pair, which, as you see, are pretty well worn through. He was saying only the other day that he wished the drays would hurry up, as he wanted a new pair." "It certainly is very singular," mused Mr. Hall. "He hadn't been drinking, had he?" "No, sir. He's never had a drop of anything since he's been on the station that I know of." "Did he ever seem queer iu his head or strange In any way?" "Never a' Wt, sir. Rather the other way on. There** nothing wrong with Bob. He's no more chariky than I an." "Well, come of the men had better go out at once and have a look for him. If we do not find him by sundown, I will send over to Mount Gipps and Inform the police-sergeant. There are black trackers there who will soon trace him.** Men were accordingly sent out in every direction, and the country was' scoured for several miles around; but no sign of Bob Luke could be discovered. Mr. Hall began to feel uneasy, wondering what could have become of the 'man, and, when evening approached. Jack Hall started off to inform the police at Mount Gipps, some forty miles away. Towards nightfall the pack-horses arrived wkfa Tom Baynes froa^-Sullivan's puttic-house. Mr. Hall met them MM thej julled up at the store, "This la a very strange affair about Bob Luke, isn't fe.'Tun*' .to marked. ' Tea, air," replied Barnes, himself in taking off some of the packs. "I heard of It down at 8uM* van's—iroin oos of tfce caaps. I woa- 4er where ae eaa hare got to?" "Ton came back to the station in the night I fuafose ye* saw notfatag lf "N», sir; tat I didst isok about ne as It was all I could do to see "You galloped fast enough up past the huts. I heard you from the house, and thought it was a horse broken loose from the paddock." "Yes, sir; the old mare started off with me when she got near home, and I couldn't hold her in." "And you saw nothing of Luke?" his master again asked. "No, Blr—nothing!" "What made you come back from Sullivan's?" Mr. Hal! had already been told the reason, and Baynes' reply was simply a confirmation of what he had heard. The men at the public-house were all more or less drunk and fighting, and he could find no place to sleep in. The old mare was handy, as he had left her in the stock-yard with a good feed, PTV1, he thought he would be able to find his way back to the station, and return early to the drays the next morning. Mr. Hall became more and more perplexed about Luke's disappearance. "If he had been drinking heavily," he said to his wife, "no one would feel in the least surprised. But the man was sober enough, and showed no signs of eccentricity, BO far as» I can find out. It beats anything I ever experienced. Perhaps he will turn up In the morning, and we shall find a very simple solution to the puzzle after all." The morning came and went, and day after day passed by, but no Kobert Luke appeared. The mounted police, with the black trackers, scoured the country for over thirty miles around, and left hardly a rock or a patch of scrub unsearched. Every building on the station had been examined,, and there only remained Tom Baynes' hut to .visit. Baynes was the first to suggest that it should be searched. , "There's been a lot of talk; I know, sir," he said, "about my wife's shutting herself up so. Poor thing, she can't help that—I wish she could get about— so I should like the sergeant to satisfy himself that Luke isn't i-n hiding there!" " N o b o d y wemld be-foelisbenoughto puppoEe he v^as, Baynes," replied Mr. Hall, smiling at the young man's anxiety; "but we had better, as you say, look everywhere while we are about It." Mr. Hall had really a secret desire to behold this hidden treasure In the way of a wife, who was so persistently sheltered from the vulgar gaze. Accordingly he made one of the party to examine the hut. When the troopers knocked at the door, it was standing a little way open. "Come in," said a low voice. Half-sitting, half-reclining upon the' be4 which occupied one corner of the &\< room the hut possessed, dressed Ic the ordinary printed calico gown of a working-woman, a shawl over her feet, and some needlework on which she was engaged upon her lap, was Mrs. Bayn*?. Her jet-black hair was neatly smoothed in front and braided at the back, and her. pale face and nervous manner denoted the invalid. She wore colored .spectacles. "Very eorry to intrude, Mrs. Baynes, I am sure," said Mr. Hall, "but we are compelled to search everywhere for this lost man. Your husband has no doubt told you about it?" "Yes, yes," replied Mrs. Baynes. "It seems very strange that he should have gone on like that!" "What a nice woman," thought Mr. Hall, "and a good-looking one, too! It's a thousand pities that she should be broken down. No wonder Baynes is careful of her." Then he said aloud. "If we were only certain that he had gone off somewhere, It would be satisfactory, but we can find no traces of hm anywhere. Besides, a man does noi *un off in' the middle of the night wlthu.Jt his boots, leaving two or three months' wages behind him, unless he has a very Important reason for doing so." There WEB very little for the sergeant to inspect in the hut—a deal table, two rough benches, the bed upon which Mrs. Baynes reclined, and which bad no hangings or drapery upon It tfeat could conceit anything, and one or two small boxes containing clothes. These article* atade ftp the entire furniture of the apartment. The walls, which were of roughly-hewn slabs nailed to the frame of the hut. were carefully papered over wkh old Sydney Morning Heralds, while UM two small windowframes were covered with calico. A hut which Is built for the dual purpose of cooking and sleeping In generally has a largo fireplace which entirely occupies ono sad of H. 9nch a one had this, and upon ts» hearth there biased a log-fire, beneath a kettle vrhlch hui.r-, iiom an non bar. Altogether the visit to the, hut did not occupy above five minutes. The sergeant declared himself satisfled, and Mrs. Baynes, rising from the bed, begged Mr. Hall to stay and accept of some tea, "The kettle is already on the boil, sir," she said. "Pray do not disturb yourself, Mrs. Baynes," the squatter answered, as she stood up. "We are too sorry for having had to come at all!" When the search-party had withdrawn, the sergeant remarked to Mr. Hall— "That's the woman, I suppose, I've heard so much talk about—the one people said was mad and shut up here!" "I dare say," replied Mr. Hall. "People say all sorts of things. She's the cook's wife, and is a hopeless invalid; but she is very good at her needle, and my wife is uncommonly glad to have her here. Poor thing, she looks very white and ill!" The disappearance of Bob Luke remained a complete enigma. The colonial papers, under the heading of "The Mysterious Disappearance on the Barrier Ranges," suggested all sorts of solutions to the riddle, and penny-a-liners found in it a largo scope for their imaginations. All the remarkable disappearances that had ever been recorded were brought to light again, and, as a last loophole out of the difficulty, it was suggested that the man had for some urgent reason determined to lose his identity, and so had gone off, leaving his boots behind him in order to throw people off the scent. Like most other mysteries, this soon became a thing of the past. The subject at last grew monotonous, and in a very few months people had ceased to think any more about it. What, after all, was a bushman more or less of whom no one knew anything and for whom nobody cared? CHAPTER IX. Sullivan's public-house, the thorn in every squatter's side for thirty miles around, was a small wooden shiuity consisting of four or five rooms. At the back was a building containing ten or twelve sleeping bunks. Tnis was called the dead-house, as it was used chiefly for putting customers into when they were dead drunk. Outside the house, facing the mail-track, was a verandah, if a continuation of tb.e shingled roof supported by rough po&U stuck into the bare earth could be dignified by the name. Beneath the shade of this roue-h TeraBdahT~6rie hot afternooh, lay"two or three drunken wretches overcome by the fumes of the lightning rum. Inside the bar were five or six bushmen busily engaged in throwing dice for drinks. "Odd man out" was the game, and at .the rate of one shilling per nobbier the amusement could hardly be considered a cheap one. especially when the after-effects of the "lightning" upon the consumer were taken into consideration. Very few station hands on their way down to town ever succeeded in getting past Sullivan's; some had attempted it a score of times and failed. Even before the unhappy pigeon had arrived the news was brought that "Loag Jim" was "going down to Sydney w'th a big cheque." "Let me see—Jim must have been over two years now on the station since he had his last burst," the bloated- looking ruffian of a landlord would remark. "I dare say he's got over a hundred pounds!" And when Lof-g Jim hove in sight be was sure to he hailed by half a score of loafers and pressed to stop the night.. No—he had determined to push on to the next stage. His horse was fresh, and he was anxious to get on. Well, he would stop and have a plate of soup and a bite? No—he had got some "tucker" with him. "At any rate you'll have a drink?" some one would cry. No, he was "on the teetotal tack." "Well, you ain't a-goin* off like that without shoutin', Jim!" one of the loafers would suggest. "Shout?" the pigeon would cry, thus probed in his weakest part. "Of course I'll shout! There's nothing mean about me, anyhow. What are you all going to have? Drinks all round, and one for yourself, Sullivan." "You must have a small drain, too. Jim, just to show that there** no ill will, you know," the landlord would suggest "Oh, not for me, Sullivan! I kuow your game of old. Well, just to show there ain't no animosity, give me a small drop of what you've got Hare ^ better luck!" (To be Continued.) Hard • • J> They met in a cafe.

"It was the grave digging," says a soldier quoted by the Worcester Gazette, "that broke down many of the boys. Nothing could be more disheartening than to take the body of a dead comrade out and fight off the buzzards while digging the grave. It is bad enough to hear the earth rattle down on the top of a coffin containing the form of a comrade, but is shocking to put an uncouined form Into the ground and pile the dirt on top of It. The men det?*iled for burials were easily disheartened, and the soldier who lost heart was a candidate for an early burial."

How many times in life a few words of good advice, coming from a friend one can depend upon, will save us hours, perhaps months, of misery. The following which comes from Battle Creek will interest our readers. Dr. Oliver Guiteaux, Veterinary Surgeon of that city, a well-known man there, as well as in Kalamazoo and Marshall, speaks , of his experience with the little conqueror and the result of a few timely words of advice. He says: ' "I was standing in Amberg & Murphy's drug store in Battle Creek one day when a friend of mine came in and asked for a box.of kidney pills. After he had made his purchase I said quietly to him, 'You have made a mistake in buying those." His reply was, 'How is that?' I said 'Doan's Kidney Pills are worth all the others put together.1 As he wanted my reasons for thinking so I told him that my kidneys had bothered me for years, that I suffered from backache until I could scarcely stand it, that I had nearly every symptom to be found where the kidneys are affected, that I had used remedy after remedy including box after box of the one he just purchased, and that until I used Doan's Kidney Pills I might have n g many apnnwfnl nt watar, in — fact, J think some of them hurt me. A couple of weeks after this I met him on the street, when he said: 'Doc., Doan's Kidney Pills are just as you represented. After using the box about which we had a conversation in Amberg A Murphy's drug store I was as bad as ever. T then procured Doan's and stuck to their treatment until they cured me.'"

Truth never dodges, no matter who throws mud at it. Ungrammatically speaking the plural of baby must be twins. Sunday la the golden clasp that binds the volumes of the week. There is nothing like an earthquake (or opening up new fields. There is no fool like an old Jool who tries to act like a young fool. A good thing ceases to be a good thing when we get too much of it. It Is easier for some girls to win admirers than It is to capture a husband. A sharp tongue is more essential to the modern prize-fighter than a strong arm. Every action is measured by the depth of the sentiment from which it proceeds. A baseball player isn't necessarily insane just because he gets "off his base" occasionally. A man never realizes how very dear a girl is to him until he acquires the right to pay her bills. The man deserving the name is one •whoae thoughts and exertions are for others rather than for himself. A ring around the moon is a sign of rain, and a plain ring around a woman's finger indicates more reign. An exchange says there are fifty thousand muscles in an elephant's trunk. It was evidently packed by a woman. A St. Louis druggist placed a jar of calamus root in his show window labeled "Sweet flag of my country," but the natives failed to see the point. In all fields of effort, whether Intellectual, moral or mechanieal, as faculty grows, consciousness of insufficiency grows with it. The farther we get up the hill the more we see how far It is to the horizon. The modern tendency toward combination of capital I* all lines of trad must be checked, and this tan only done by strict and effective statutes. That such laws will be evaded, as the anti-trust act qf congress has been un> til the present time, is to be expected. When laws which will stand the test of the courts are enacted tbe next duty will be to elect officers and Judges who will enforce them. Street sweepings to the estimated amount of three million tons are collected every year in the cities of the United States. Mosfc of this material is either-used for "filling" or thrown away; but the department of agriculture learns that in some places farm* ers secure the sweepings for fertilizing purposes, and that the farmers in such cases, with few exceptions, report excellent results. Since the disposition of such refuse is sometimes a serious problem, the fact seems to be worth consideration on the part of town and country alike. One of our worst faults, as a people, is a persistent disregard of the truth that to prevent waste in all such ways is to increase wealth. Ten pulpits in Chicago are without a pastor. Not ten little pulpits which overlook squalid alleys, or unpeopled suburbs, but ten great, big pulpits at which the wealth and power and culture of half the city Is supposed to kneel. Why are they vacant? Are there no preachers? Has the mortality among the army chaplain* absorbed tbe surplus of devoted clergy? Or is It impossible to find miaisieee mho will take up the ardu©u§> duties of a city parish for the smaff reward of five or eight thousand dollars a year? Why most ten church organizations stand paralysed and unused for an indefinite period? Why must a million or two dollars invested In those ten cnurch properties He 141*. motit eaten, unemployed? We do not kmaw, but we can toes* We guess that It Is because ten preacher* cannot be found who can please the ten varieties of taste which seeks to rule the average ehureh parish.

Nellie tried to move, but there was no room, "Why don't you go over there?" said Ruth, pointing tu the vacant seat by Annie. "She is so ragged," replied the girl. "I don't like to." "She is clean," said Ruth. "You may have my seat. 1 will go and .sit by her. May I, Nellit?" "Yes," she said, after a moment, "but you must be good." "I am always good in Sunday school," replied the little one, and crossing the space between the benches she said to Annie: "Please may I sit here?" "You may if you want to," replied Annie, rather crossly. All the scholars looked at each ot.her When it was time to go home she looked around 10 say good-by to Annie, but the c:ilh! had slipped away.

Before she could struggle to her feet a horse came swiftly around the corner. She had no time to be frightened, however, for the next moment her hand was e«ized and she was pulled back to the pavement. It was little Annie Ridley, who had seen the accident, and ran back to help her. "There," she said; "now wait for "We are the first," whispered Nellie, as she seated herself near the reading desk. ; , . , ... ; "How queer Sunday school looks when It Is empty,*1 said her sister Ruth, climbing up by her side, A scuffllsg step sounded in tJuMaisle.

"Her shoes are-all in holes, and h«r dress is patched, and " "Hash!" whispered Nellie. Annie *i41ey-; • paused by wJtfcotu .turning her head, sat down on thn very e*d of th* dpoaite bench; covered her shoes with her dress, and frowned. "Is she cross?" asked Rath. "Hush!" said Nellie. One by one the other scholars arrived, and as each prettily dressed girl came la Annie Ridley frowned at her and turned her head away. No one sat close to her—the children seemed ratkar to prefer to be crowded than to and smiled. Her sister blushed. "She is so small," she eaid to her neighbor. Then the teacher entered, and Annie and Ruth were forgotten. When the scholars stood up to sing, Ruth offered one side of her hymnbook to Annie, who took hold of the cover \ i ' he tip end of her fingers and sat:i; . . . . . it. "How xik-f you sing," whispered Ruth. "I wifch I could sing so." Annie smiled. f'You are too little yet," Rhe said, and moved closer. Then w!;«;n the singing was over she added r " \ s u are the nicest girl in the school. But Ruth did. not answer, for just then a gentleman began to speak, and she knew that she must pay attention. So she listened and he told them the stories of Thanksgiving day and ended by saying: "No one is too poor or too small to be of use." "He don't know everybody," whispered Annie. "He don't know us." Then she added suddenly: "fay, what is thanksgiving fcr, anyhow?" "Mamma said that long ago, wheu the people first came to America to live, they were so glad when the grain and pumpkins and potatoes were put away safe in the barn for the winter that they appointed one day to go to cnurch and give thank*." "Oh," said Annie, "but suppose they had no barn and no pumpkins and things. Then what?" "We have no barn," repii-u Ruth, "but mamma buys the pumpkin and turkey at the store." "My mother never does," said Annie. "Why?" asked Ruth. "Because she can't," answered Annie. "Don't you have any Thanksgiving dinner then?" asked Ruth. Annie shook her head. "No," she said, "we don't often have bread enough, so you see I could not i do anything for any one if I wanted to I ever so much." [ "And I am afraid I'm too little," I eal* Ruth, thoughtfully. Just then the collection plate was passed before them. Ruth had two five-cent pieces in her hand, buf when she saw that her new friend had nothing to give she laid one of the coins on her lap. Aaale turned red. but she gave Ruth a shy smile «nd placed the mouey on the plate. "Ton tee y<m are aot too little," she whispered. "That was nothing," replied Ruth. She was darting away when Ruth caught her hand. "You thought you could not do anything for any one," she said, >*'bat you have saved rae from being hurt. Mamma will be so glad." "That was nothing," said Annie, and hurried away. Of course when Ruth got home shec told her mother all about Annie, and you may be sure Annie had a splendid Thanksgiving dinner that year, for Ruth's mother was so grateful to the little girl that she felt as though she could not do enough for her.

Neither should a man that Is frying to build up a dairy herd breecf hU co^a^to a bull of a beef strain. TftTf l£ peraatfs more commonly the error than; tfrat of breeding to a pronounced scr«b> We have known a Shorthorn bull kept in a neighborhood where milk dairies were plentiful and to receive the^ patronage of most, if not all, ottbJ milkmen, notwithstsjuUat the UcJU-lhat ther* was a first-class Jersey bull in the im mediate vicinity. The cause for that was that the services of the Jersey bull were two or three dollars higher than those of the Shorthorn bull. Yet the men that wepe patronizing the Shorthorn bull expected to get something wonderful In the way of milkers. Some of them were quite surprised to find, when such*calves came to the point of giving milk, they in no' wise kept pace with the expectations that had been raised by tho standards set by their mothers. They were good for "beefers," it Is true, and the butchers often cast longing eyes at them, but as milkers they were failures. Yet that fact did not seem to impress the dairymen to any great extent. They soemed to think that getting a good milker was a matter of chance anyway. There Is some difference between the fees charged for the services of the right kind of a bull and the services of the wrong kind of a bull, but the difference in fees In no wise keeps pace with the difference in the value of the product as milkers. The scrub bull !ft a good thing to ignore, and next to him the bull of a beef breed, when it comes to a question, of ralsipg dairy cows. Every farmer should be willing to pay a good price for the services of a good bull, for only in that way can a man be induced to Invest money in an animal of that character. The man that purchases a bull for neighborhood use must charge a good price, for he knowB that he has got to get back his. whole purchase price plus a fair profit for the use of the money and for labor, in a very few years. He also takes the risk of accidents and diseases. Dairymen should encourage the keeping of flmclass bulls by giving a liberal fee JL'»>r their services. $ Profit Lies ID Pare Brad Cattle. The Journal has said that the demand for the best classes of cattle has kept their prices well sustained, and perhaps this is always true, says Texas Stock and Farm Journal. There are several reasons why It pays the best to produce the best. One of these is the condition presented by the market today, and, it might be said, presented always, that is, that the supply of animals of tbe really choice quality is so limited that they are put on a market where practically they are without ciompcttttoTR—Choice—cstthr are now selling as high as at any time during the year, but their number is small. On the Chicago market of Sept. 21 the cattle receipts are reported at 18,400. Of this number, 17 head were good enough to bring $5.85 per 100 pounds. Only 16 head brought $5.70, and only 295 others commanded over $5.50. It is needless to say that these cattle were ripened for market at * cost far below most of the fed cattfe that sold for much less. The difference lay mostly in the quality at the very beginning. Those that commanded the highest price were of a beef breed, early maturers, of a type that not only takes on more flesh in proportion to the feed consumed than ia possible to inferior animals, even with the most scientific feeding, but that developed largely in proportion to the entire carcass those parts that supply the choicest cuts to the butcher. The time will come, and it is not far off, when men of moderate means canned afford to raise scrub cattle, even upon the range, for the discrimination against them continually grows stronger. ________ Too Many Weeds.—A large per cent of the productive capacity of Iowa soils is used up in maturing weeds. Rag weed and mayweed in the pastures, fox tail and morning glories in the corn fields, wild hemp and artichokes on the coad sides, pursley in the gardens. The best way to prevent them in the pasture is to quit pasturing go close and give the grass a chance to grow; sheep will clean the grain and corn fields; an enforcement of the law will purify the highways and a summer fallow will clean out the garden.— Rockford Register.

TIM State's Cll<*»tle by Th«t* Umi •coordlng to report wrlttsii by b«n Roth, a tp«cisi as«at of th» Ufttt- •d Statcw department ol »4fflcultur«,Ui« •Ute of Wisconsin, with a populatton o€ about 2,000,000, and taxable property to the amount of $400,000,000, has a home consumption of over 600,000.- 000 feet of lumber annually, bealde* enormous quantities of other wood materials, which, If imported into U e state, would coat the state over SS5.- 000,000. Of Its northern halt, a Und surface of over 18.000,000 acrea, only 1 per cent li cultivated, the rest forming one continuous body of forests and waste land. From this are a there have been cut during the last sixty yean or more than than 5,000,000,000 feet of pine lumber alone, and the annual output lot the laat ten y»»r» haa exceeded 3,000,000,000 feet every year. The Industries exploiting this resource represented In 1890 one-sixth of the total taxable property in the sUte.pald to over 5,000 men the sum of $16,000,- 000 in wages, and the value of their products was equal to more than one* third the entire output of the agricultural regions. Of an original stand of about 130,000,000,000 feet of pine, about 17,000,000,000 feet are left, besides 11.- 000,000,000 feet of hemlock and 16,000,- 000,000 feet of hardwood. The annual growth which at present amounts to about 900,000,000 feet, and of which only 250,000,000 feet is marketable, i« largely overbalanced by the natural decay of old and over-ripe timber. At present nothing li being done either to protect or to restore the denuded lands of which fully 80 per cent are unproductive. This policy causes a continuous and ever-growing loss to the commonwealth, which at present amounts to about 800,000,000 feet every year of useful and much needed material. A further result is that the spoliation of these forests is making a marked change In the natural climatic condition and is operating injuriously on the amount of rainfall the state should reeelve. To remedy this coaditloa»Mr. Roth is of opinion that stringent legislation wtU have to be immediately, adopted, and measures framed to preserve and restock. He concludes his report by saying that, In his opinion, It will be accessary for the state to repossess itself of these lands, Get Strong, As/stem which has become run down by the trying weather of the f)astsummer is not in a condition to meet the severe winter of this climate and wiil easily fali a (jrey to disease unless a proper torric is used.

The birds of paradise arc unrlvalnd for the brilliancy of their coloring. It Is difficult, however, to say which among them has the most brilliant plumage. Perhaps the King Paradise has more right to this distinction than any of his kind. A gloss like that of spun glass wavere over the cinnabar red which forms the prevailing tint of his gorgeous garb. ^ The featkara of the head shad* Into a rtofc or*a«e, ^hlle ,^eue*tn£ frtjm the breast downwards. i t | is pure white, with tie softaess and • h e * at filk, exee.> t the belt of deep metallic f * t a that •tosses the breast and separata* the •now from the red of the throat. A circular spot of the b%.ue metallic greea gtistens abore each eye, while the feet and legs are clothed in a fine cobalt blue. From each side of the breast, but generally lying hidden under the wings, spring little tufts of grayish feathers about two Inches long, and terminating in a broad band of intense emerald green. The bird, *i his pleasure, lifts these aigrettes, and when the wings are elevated, eipande them like a pair of fans. The two middle tail feathers take the form df slender wires about five inchtS in length, dlrerging In a graceful double curve. About half an inch of tha ',end of this wire Is wedded on the outeff 'side only, and curling spirally towards, the two extremities form a palf of glittering emerald buttons, hanglxqf five inches below the body, and about five inches apart. obtained of Key.

She was a tidj little body, with bright blue eyes and gray hair Bmooth'y folded under her white cap. "She lived in a thatched turf cabin ] built for her grandfather—a black lit- I tie cell with but one slit in it to let in ! the light. The cabin was clean enough | inside, but the air was foul, and the smoke from the peat flre on the hearth filled it almost to suffocation to lungs unaccustomed to its acrid odor. "We left Ireland and did not return; to It for more than two year*. Then we noticed a great change In Peggy'* cabin. It had four windows with glast panes. Peggy came out smiling to meetus.

Our answer te the same that the best physicians have been giving for a quarter of a century. Give them $C(HT$ EDUflSiOB of CodfcLiver Oil with Hypophosphites. It has most remarkable nourishing power.

Cut windows in the walla. You are, let us say, a farmer's daughter, tired of housework, dishwashing and cooking day after day. Get a simple book on botany, study the flowers aiidTtrees around the house. A window in your life will suddenly opea and countless wonders will appear. Or study geology; or take up the history of some one country; or go out and make one or more good friends; or begin some charitable work ln tbe neighborhood. Do not shut yourself in with yourself, breathing your own breath over and over. Open windows in your life; and, above all, open that one which looks upward, and through which the heavens appear with all their glory and their help. * BOSOTN DISSOLUTION SALE OF DRESS GOODS Chatman, Kendal & Daniel, One of the oldest and largest wholesale importing houses of Boston,agoing out of business.

Cblppewa County Hat* a Warm Election Contest—Sensational Monroe County Murder Case Kuds in Acquittal—31st Mich. W4U Not Move Hefore Jan. 1 An Insurance Swindle that Failed. The body of a man was found in an old house on the banks of Hatnlin lake near Baldwin. The discovery was made by H.V. White, of New York, who identified the remains as those of his brother, F M. White, whom he had last heard from in Baldwin in August, when he wrote that he was camping on a lake near Baldwin, and that he had taken out an insurance policy on his life in favor of his brother. The case had several suspicious aspects to the people of Baldwin, and an undertaker thought he recognized the decomposed remains as those of Alex McLean who died at Stearns and was buried in Baldwin cemetery August 23. An investigation showed that McLean's body had been removed from the grave and the authorities at once became convinced that H. V. White was trying to perpetrate an insurance swindle and placed him under arrest. : Bitter Election Contest In Chlppewa. Chippewa county is greatly exorcised over the recount of 1 he votes cast for sheriff in the recent election. The returns showed E. J. Swart, Republican, elected by 10 votes. Clark A. Watson, Democrat, demanded a recount. The board of canvassers rejected the entire vote of four townships, and about three-fourths of the ballots in an* other, besides a large additional number in othor precincts, where inspectors marked the ballots contrary to the law. In three townships they wrote their initials in with lead pencil instead of ink, and in other cases placed their initials in the wrong corner. Other irregularities have turned up and the matter will probably get into the courts. The canvassers declare Swart elected by a small majority. Stermer Tampa Wrecked. The steamer Tampa of the Whitney fleet of Detroit, and a sister ship of the Doty which was recently lost on Lake Michigan, was driven on the north shore of Lake Superior and is reported to have broken in two. The crew escaped in safety. She had coal for Duluth. The Tampa was built at the Wheeler yards in 1890 and was a modern wooden steamer, 291 feet long. She cost 9128,000 and at the time of the disaster had on 2,700 tons of soft coal, bound from Erie to Duluth. Desperate Plot for a Jail Delivery. Being suspicious that there was some plot hatching among the prisoners in the county jail at Flint, Sheriff McCall and his deputies became doubly vigilant, and were rewarded, as well as startled, at intercepting a big stick of dynamite being passed along. A further search brought to light a saw and a razor. It was evidently the intention to blow a hole through the roof and have a wholesale jail delivery. Mew Michigan Postmasters.

The pigeon was generally persuaded - to take his saddle off. Then he would decide to stop the night, and no farther on the road would he go; while the news spread quickly that Long Jim was "on the spree at Sullivan's." On the afternoon in question the coach was expected up, and Sulllvau had been several times to the door looking out anxiously for its coming. There was never any telling what profitable guest's it might contain, 30 on mail-nights there was always a decent supper laid in a room away from the common herd in readiness for more distinguished company. "There's the dust uf the coach at laet," cried a man, who had also been engaged in watching the distant track. "It's two hours late; I expect they've had a smash." It was nearly dusk when the coach pulled up at the door of the inn and discharged its cargo. Horses had to be changed, the fresh ones being already in waiting in the yard, and ten minutes were allowed for th« dusty passengers to refresh themselves on lightning rum. Only one person among the twenty passengers got out with the evident intention of remaining at this stage. While the coach remained and the bar was thronged with customers there was a perfect babel of voices and general hubbub and confusion all round. The stranger sat on a bench near the wooden counter. Presently the laiul- ;ord came in. He had been taking a farewell glance at the departing mail, and was chinking some loose coins in his trousers-pocket as if he were well satisfied with the profits of the last ten miuutes. The dirty kerosene lamp threw a dim light upon the interior of the den, and Sullivan suddenly remembered his guest.

Unluckily, however, for the dignity of his deportment, Mr. Sullivan was so busily Intent upon scrutinizing his possible new prey, that he stumbled acroBS a prostrate body in the doorway and^Tell flat upon his face. "What are you doing, lying, about like that, Sam?" he cried indignantly, as he strugg^I to his feet. "Why. you are drunk! You ought to be ashamed it yourself, tripping people up in that disgraceful way. Out >ou S,o\ Take your cooler outside if you dou't know how to behave yourself;" and seizing the unresisting sot by the shirt and trousers, he pitched him into the roadway. Then turning to the new arrival in tn-i most affable way, as if nothing unusual had occurred, he inquired if he would like some supper after his journey. "Thank you," replied the stranger— 'yes, I should like something to eat, and I don't mind if I had a <drop of your best, just for the good of the house." As the man spoke, he showed signs of having had several drops of the "beet" already. "Certainly, sir," replied Sullivan, scenting a good customer as a terrier would a rat. Then, rinsing a tumbler in a vooden tub beneath the counter, he proceeded to polish It on a piece of old towel with a very professional air. Turning to the shelves, he paused, and seemed to be deliberating &a to what really was his "best." He then took down a bottle with a. capsule on It, and, winking confidentially to his gu*str, remarked that he thought he would find that prime. The difference between the mixture contained In the bottle and that in the kegs on the shelf was that tbe former was nearly proof rum, and the latter a concoction of spirits of wine, tobacco, brown sugar, water, and a flavoring only of the real article. Mr. Sullivan 4tept a f*~ strong sample bottles of the genuine liquid on purpoae for «reat ocoaaiona, (tad if "two aobblen of that failed-to start them he did not know what would." Supper seemed to take a long time to prepare, and the stranger indulged in another taste ar two of the "best." After mis second dose conversation 4owsd more easily; the sitonoe which hie Mgaly-reepeoUMe attire had cast upon tae c o w a n ? began to wear off, landlord relapAed into his uanmont about here?" inquired the stranger presently. "Redmount? I should think I did." "Mr. Hall, isn't it?" "Yea. Mr. Charles Hall; and a very nice gentleman he is," remarked Sullivan, inwardly thinking that he was nothing of the sort. "Is it far from here?" "Only six miles. Follow the creek, and you can't miss Ik I thought as how you might be for Redmount. Perhaps Mr. Hall expects you?" "I don't know whether he does or he doesn't," answered the stranger Bhortly, and with the air of one who fancies he Is being pumped. Just then supper was announced, and Sullivan showed his guest the way into the best parlor. "Now I wonder what lay he's on," he remarked, upon returning to the bar. "New chum, I should say; don't look as if he had ever done any hard work, to judge by his hands. Some relation of Mr. Hall's perhaps, though he dou't look quite the nob either. Hallo, is that you, Baynes?" he exclaimed, as at that moment Baylies entered the bar, followed by a large kangaroo-dog. "I have come down for the mail bags. Is the coach in yet?" inquired Baynes. "Yes; been in an hour or more. There's the bags on the floor.' "Thank you,"B.said Baynes, picking them up, and making for the door, as if he were about to go. "What, you aren't going off like that, Baynes? Won't you have a taste of something?" "No, thank you all the same—I'd rather not." "Well, I won't press you; married man—eh? What made you come down for the iar.il? You must be getting quite a horseman." "I'm better than I Used to be, and take all the riding I can get." "That's a fine dog," said Sullivan, patting the animal on the head; "where did you find him? I declare you are getting quite sporty. I hear you bought two horses too the other daj'—-is that true? Perhaps you'll be bringing the missus down some Sunday to have a look at us." 'Perhaps. JU Jovial style.

The night was dark, and the low veranda preveuved the dim light from within shining upen: his features as he sat silently In his &d.udle. Presently Sullivan caise out, followed by the stranger, who seemed unsteady in liis gait, and had evidently been drinking. "Are you from Redmount station?" asked the new-comer huskily, "Yes." replied Baynes. looking down, and trying to get a glimpse of the man's features. But he did not succeed in doing so, for the stranger stood in the doorway,with hit >ack to the light. "Do you know a cLaJ) by the name of Robert Luke?" "Luke?" echoed Baynee and Sullivan in one breatll. "Yee. Luke—Robert Luke. Why, you botb seem quite astonished. I am his brother, William Luke." Sullivan was the first to speak. "If you are Bob Luke's brother, I have bad news to tell you, which you don't appear to have heard." "Bad news! What is it?" He disappeared from Redmount station some months ago, and nothing has ever been heard of him since." "But be must be somewhere in the neighborhood. I tell you! I have a letter from him in my pocket, and in it he says, if he is not at Redmount when I arrive, he will be somewhere not far off." "When did he write?" asked Sullivan. "Let me see," replied William Luke, pulling some papers out of his breastpocket—" It is dated May 25th." "May 26th?" cried Sullivan. "Why. that's the very day on which he disappeared!" "Good heavens, and I have come all this way But stop, you—halloatell that man to stop! I have a message for Mr, Hall." But while they were examining the letter near the lamp over the bar, Baynee had «r<\rtert off Into the darkness; and the sound of his horse s feet was now scarcely to be heard, as ha galloped along tht track leading to the station. "That lad'll break his neck riding like that on a dack^ night—and serve him right, too. F? e neyer seen a shilling of his mone/ and don't euppose I ever shall. Drat wuch mean beggais, I say!" growled Sullivan, as he stood at the door looking in the direction Baynes had taken. Mr. Hall was patiently waiting for the mail when Baynes rapped at the door. "Why, Baynes, how quick you have been!" he said, taking the bags from him. "I shall have to make you postboy- in-chief. Sullivan's has generally so great an attraction fort the men that they never come back with letters till midnight. I suppose the coach was in when you got there?" "Yes, sir," replied Baynes; "and I am sorry to say that I have got some bad news." "Indeed! That's unfortunate. But you have not opened the bag?" "No, sir; the driver brought up a letter for me from Sydney. I am afraid I must go down at once." "The driver, Sam Jones?" "Yes, sir." "Oh, that's a nuisance! I did not know you had friends out there, Tom." "A sister, sir, lately out from home. She Is very ill—Indeed, is expected to die." "Well, the coach will be going down In a few days." "I'm afraid sir, I cannot wait; I must go tonight." "Tonight? Nonsense, man! How do you propose to go?" "On horseback, sir; I have two horses of my own." "You would get there much faster by the mail." "I—I am going to take my wife along with me," said Baynee, in a faltering tone. "Your wife? What next? Surely she Is not In a fit condition for a sixhundred- miles' ride!" "We might catch the coach at Meninder, sir," said Baynes. "That would only be a hundred miles to ride; and I think she can manage that." Mr. Hall looked very much surprised. Baynes, however, remained firm in his intention of leaving, and so at last the squatter reluctantly gave his consent to his departure. "It's the maddest thing I ever heard of," he grumbled. "Taking his wife too, above all things; and I flattered myself we were all comfortably settled and everything wae going on nicely! Well, !t's always the way." —Having paid Baynea his wages wished him good luck, Mr. Hall suggested the advisability of his leaving his wife in Sydney in some lodgings, and coming back as soon as he had settled his business. "I suppose you will be off at daylight," he said. "Yes, sir," replied Baynes. "He is an energetic fellow, at any rate," thought Mr. Hall, "and ought to get on out there. Plenty of pluck and energy, with a little common sense— those are the true elements of success." The men at the station were by no means elated at the news of Baynes' departure. He had made himself pleasant to all, and his good cooking had added to his popularity. However, when the sun shone down upon Baynes' hut the next morning it was deserted. The door stood wide open, and, beyond the still smoking logs upon the hearth, there was no signs of its recent inmates. In the course of the morning a man came up from Sullivan's, and said lie wished to speak to Mr. Hall. "Well, what do you want?" asked the squatter sharply, as he eyed him with considerable disfavor, knowing the fellow to be a lazy loafer of the lowest type. "If you please, sir, there's a gentleman who came up by the coach last night down at Sullivan's. He's had a fit." "A gentleman down at Sullivan's who has had a fit, eh?" "Yee, sir; Le'd been drinking, and last night he was seited with a lit." "A very unusual occurrence at Sullivan's I've no doubt. Well, and what about the gentleman who has been drinking and has had a fit?" "He told me to tell you, sir, that hie name is Luke, and that he is a brother of Bob Luke—him who disappeared— and tihat he wishes to see you." "Oh. does he? Tn&t alters the case. You can tell him I will ride down in the course of the day and see him. When did he have this fit?" "It came on soon after he had his copper, sir," replied the man; "and he had several more during the night We had an awful time of it with him, sir, holding him dawn; and Sullivan was nearer frightened out of his life.** "A need Job tf he and the met of you loafers had been quite frightened out of your lives," growled Mr. Hall ta himself. "Well, tell the man I'll in at him. He'll not die, drink kin people so easily--worse lock!** CONSULTING A WOMAN. Mrs. Pinkrmm'a Advloe Inaplrem Confldemoe and Hope. Examination by a male physician te a hard trial to a delicately organized woman. She puts it off as long" as she darer and is only driven to it by fear of cancer, polypus, or some dreadful ill. Most frequently such a woman leavesa physician's office where she has undergone a critical examination with an impresbion,more? or less, of diacouyagement. This condition of the mind destroys the effect of advice; and she .growy worse rather than better. In consulting Mrs. Pinkham no hesitation need be felt, the story is told to a woman and is wholly confidential. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass., she offers sick women her advice without charge. Her intimate knowledge of women's troubles makes her letter of advice a wellspring of hope, and her wide experience and skill point the way to health. " I suffered with ovarian trouble for seven years, and no doctor knew what was the matter with me. I had spells which would last for two days or more. I thought I would try Lydxa E.

A man over in Ingham county claims to have dehorned 20 head of cattle in 30 nrinutes. The Ann Arbor Courier came out last week with a finely colored cover in honor of Thaks- The weather bureau has fixed up the weather so that we could use some of the wood promised us on subscriptions. Mr. R. GiJlinore, of Hamburg, has a six months old pig of his own raising that lacks but a few pounds of weighing a quarter of a ton. The Howell Street Fair Committee find a balance on hand of! $782.76. This is a good showing! and the fair will probably be repeated next year. Ann Arbor citizens will be called upon to pay taxes this year at the rate of $14.62 per $1,000 assesssed valuation. This is eightyfive cents less than last year. The A. J. Phillips Company of Fenton gave their men each a good fat turkey Wednesday for their Thanksgiving dinner. It required over one hundred to go around. An Avon township farmer experimented in sugar deet culture found that his profits were $89 per acre, and other Oakland farmers are now very much interested in the subject,—Excelsior. Bro. Jennings of the Fenton Independent, is trying to lay in his supply of sour-krout by coaxing his patrons to bring in their big cabbage. They have brought in some so large that they will hardly go through the door. We do not want the earth but would like the subscription due us, so we will be able to buy our own Xmas present. The Journal of Saturday evening announced that E. V. Chilson had given up his position on the State Republican to accept the appointment of underaheriff, for Ingham county. Think of a good newspaper man taking a 'sit" where he will be obliged to run for every rascal in the county. —Oakland Excelsior. He probably thinks he will have a chance to get even with some of the delinquent subscribers. A German living near Manchester, who couldn't read or write English, had a horse stolen and advertised it as follows:— "Von uite the oder da, ven I vas avake in mein schleep, I hear somdings vat I tiuks vas not yust rite py mein barn, und I shumps de pep oud und runs mit the parn oud; und ven I vas dere coom I sees mein pig cray iron mare he vas been tied loose, uud run mit der staple off; und who vill efer him back brings, I bays him yust so mooch as vas peeu kushtomary. The jealous insinuation of the Pinckney DISPATCH that the Republican took an army letter without giving credit is entirely false, without even the semblance of truth. The letter we published came to us direct from the army, written on army paper and signed: J. J. Gannon, Co. M, 35th Mich. Inft. Perhaps we were negligent in not looking over a valuable exchange, but we did not even see the letter in the DISPATCH.—Republican. Well, well, Bro. Barnes, it was probably only a case of "two minds with but a single thought" but as the DISPATCH was three weeks ahead of the Dr. Cady's Condition Powders are just what a horse needs when in "bad condition.

The Christmas Ladies' Home Journal surpasses all expectations in the variety of its literary contents, in the interest and excellence of its pictorial features, and in the wide range of articles aimed to solve the problems incidental to the holidays. There is a notable contribution on "The First Christmas Present" telling of the gift of the magi to the Christ child and another recalling "Washington's Christmas at Valley Forge." Edward W. Emerson takes one back to "When Louisa Alcott was a Girl" and gives some delightful glimpses of her girlhood, her home and her daily life. F.

Other fiction featnres are "Old Pegs" and the continuation of "The Girls of Camp Arcady,; "The Minister of Carthage" and "The Jamesons in the Country."

This modern Nlmrod was the owner of great estates. The best hones and dogs in England were in his vast stables and kennels, and be boasted that every one of them was his friend. It is said that when a new purchase of hounds arrived he would go among them, giving to each a mouthful of food, while he stroked its bead and looked steadily and kindly into its eyes. "Now I know them and they know me," he would say, and ever after the dogs would come bounding to meet him. In the morning the packs would rush from the kennels to the park gates and wait, panting with eagerness for him to come out. "No horse," he used to say, "ever told me a lie. A horse is a born gentleman." Another of his maxims was, "The man who is a friend of horses should be clean, honorable and fit to be a companion of ladies." He sternly discountenanced drink, gambling, and all vices common among men of his class and time. No horse which he owned was ever allowed to work on Sunday. God bad put this dumb brother in his care, with a command, and he obeyed i t "A dog," he often said, "never trusts a man who has tricked him once.' I could mot meet his eyes if I had lied to him."

Nobody would purchase, and the wager was won. An antique and curio dealer in Seymour place, Marylebone road, exhibited in his window on Thursday, Friday and Saturday last, as the result of a wager, 20 English sovereigns mixed with other coins, the collection being surmounted with a ticket bearing the word*-: "These coins 15s 6d each.

Ans—As there is no diflerence iu the price, the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single scale, they will be much greater in the aggregate. How can you get the public to know i your make is the best? If both articles are brought promij neatly before the public, both are cer- ! tain to be tried and the public will ( very quickly pass a judgement on I them and use only the better, j This explains the large sale on !

Fireman Thomas Mangin of Muskegon, Mich., stood watching the work of Chicago firemen at a blaze at 216 Division street the other day, and yearning for a chance to show the Chicago men how they put out fires across the lake. The "yeow. meeow," of a cat sounded suddenly above the cries of Chief Swenie and his men and Man* gin saw his chance. Heedless of the fact that he was dressed in his best suit of clothes he ran nimbly up th« ladder to the top of the building through, a deluge of water to the spot where "Tabby" stood crying in fear and distress. Taking the frightened and half-dead feline under his arm Mangin made his way to the sidewalk amid the cheers of a large crowd. His wish was gratified.—Chicago Paper.

The coroner's Jury that has sat in London upon the death of Harold Frederic has returned a verdict of manslaughter against the Christian Science devotees, both women, who had charge of his case. The one of them is held responsible as the guardian of the sick man who refused to afford him proper medicinal aid and the other as the Christian Scientist who undertook his treatment, For many years the idea has been cherished at Paris and St. Petersburg that England, by reason of her vast Industrial and commercial interests in the maintenance of peace, would compromise anything—that she would not flght on any ground.

"A WBDD1NQ PRESENT," LAST SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. 4Thou Bait Given Me a Hoath l*adj Give Me AUo Springs of Water. And He G»v« Her the Upper »nd If ether I5t 10. The dty of Debir was the Boston of antiquity—a great place for braib and books. Caleb wanted it, and he offered his daughter Achsah as a prize to any one who would capture that city. It was a strange thing for Caleb to do; and yet the man that could take the city would have, at any rate, two elements of manhood—bravery and patriotism. Besides, I do not think that Caleb was as foolish In offering bis daughter to the conqueror of Debir, as thousands In this day who seek alliances for their children with those who have large means, without any reference to moral or mental acquirements. Of two evils, I would rather measure happiness by the length of the sword than by the length of the pocket-book. In one case there Is sure to be one good element of character; in the other there may be none at all. With Caleb's daughter as a prize to fight for, General Othniel rode into the battle. The gates of Debir were thundered into the dust, and the city of books lay at the feet of the conquerors. The work done, Othniel comes back to claim his bride. Having conquered the city, it is no great job for him to conquer the girl's heart; for however faint-hearted a woman herself may be, she always loves courage in a man. I never saw an exception to that. The wedding festivity having gone by, Otbniel and Achsah are about to go to their new home. However loudly the cymbals may clash and the laughter ring, parents are always sad when a fondly-cherished daughter ogoes off to stay; and Achsah, the daughter of Caleb, knows that now is the time to ask almost anything she wants of her father. It seems that Caleb, the good old man, had given as a wedding present to his daughter a piece of land that was mountainous, and sloping southward toward the deserts of Arabia, swept with some very hot winds. It was called "a south land." But Achsah jKants an addition of property; she wants a piece of land that is well watered and fertile. Now it is no wonder that Caleb, standing amidst the bridal party, his eyes so full of tears because she was going away that he could hardly see her at all, gives her more than she asks. She said to him, "Thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs." fart 1ft fh gave Achsah, the daughter, a south land, so God gives to us the world. I am very thankful he has given it to us. But I am like Achsah in the fact that I am not satisfied with the portion. Trees, and flowers, and grass, and blue skies are very well in their places; but he—who has nothing but this world for a portion has no portion at all. It Is a mountainous land, sloping off toward the desert of sorro.', swept by fiery siroccos; it Is "a joudi land," a poor portion for any man that tries to put his trust in it. What has been your experience? What has been the experience of every man, of every woman that has tried this world for a portion? Queen Elizabeth, amidst the surroundings of pomp, is unhappy because the painter sketches too minutely the wrinkles on her face, and she indignantly cries out, "You must strike off my likeness without any shadows!" Hogarth, at the very height of his ardstic triumph, is stung almost to death with chagrin because the painting he had dedicated to the king does not seem to be acceptable; for George II. cries out, "Who is this Hogarth? Take bis trumpery out of my presence." Brlnsley -Sheridan thrilled the earth with his eloquence, but. had for his last words, "I am absolutely undone." Walter Scott, fumbling around the ink* stand, trying to write, says to his daughter, "Oh, take me back to my room; there is no rest for Sir Walter but' in the grave!" Stephen Girard, the wealthiest man In his day, or, at any rate, only second in wealth, says, **I live the life of a galley-slave; when I arise in the morning my one effort is to.work so hard that I can sleej) when it«eis to be night." Charles Lamb, a j * nlauded of all the world, in the very aiidst of his literary triumph,- says, *l)a you remember, Bridget, wtien we used to laugh from the shilHfig gallery at_the play? There are now no gopd plays to l&cgh at from the boxes." But why go so far as that? I need to go BO farther than yotir street to find aft illttatratioB of wfe«t I am saying. Pick me out ten successful worldlings— and you know what I mean by thoroughly successful worldlings—pick me eut ten soceesflfol worldlings, and you can *ot and mote then one that looks happy. Care drags hiavto business; care drags him back. Take your stand at two o'clock at the corner of the streets and see the agonised physiognomles. Tour high officials, your bankers, your insurance men, your importers, your wholesalers, and your retailers, as a class—as a class, are they happyT No. Care dogs their steps; and, making no appeal to God for help or comfort, many of them are tossed everywhither. How has it been with you, my hearer? Are you more contented in the house of fourteen rooms than you were in the two rooms you had in a house when you started? Have you not had more care and worriment since you won that fifty thousand dollars than you did before? Some of the poorest men I have ever known have been those of great fortune. A man of small means may be put in great business straits, but the ghastliest of all embarrassments is that of the man who has large estates. The men who commit suicide because of monetary losses are those who cannot bear the burden any more, because they have only fifty thousand dollars left. On Bowling Green, New York, there is a house where Talleyrand used to go. He was a favored man. All the world knew him, and he had wealth almost unlimited; yet at the close of bis life he says: "Behold, eighty-three years have passed without any practical result, save fatigue of body and fatigue of mind, great discouragement for the future, and great disgust for the past." Oh, my friends, this is a "south land," and it slopes off toward deserts of sorrows; and the prayer which Achsah made to her father Caleb we make this day to our Father God: "Thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs." Blessed toe God! we have more advantages given us than we can really appreciate. We have spiritual blessings offered us in this world which I shall call the nether springs, and glories in the world to come which I shall call the upper springs. Where shall I find words enough threaded with light to set forth the pleasure of religion? David, unabl'j to describe it in words, played it on a harp. Mrs. Hemans, not finding enough power in prose, sings that praise in a canto. Christopher Wren, unable to describe it in language, sprung it into the arches of St. Paul's. John Bunyan, unable to present it in ordinary phraseology, takes all the fascination,of allegory. Handel, with ordinary musto unable to reach the height of the theme, rouses it up in an oratorio. Oh, there is no life on earth BO happy as a really Christian life! I do not mean a sham Christian life, b « a real Christian Life. Where there is a thorn, there is a j whole garland of roses. Where there is one groan, there are three doxologies. Where there is one day of cloud, there I? 5 whole season uf Mime. Take the humblest Christian man that you know—angels of God canopy him with their white wings; the lightnings of heaven are his armed allies; the Lord is his Shepherd, picking out for him green pastures by still waters; if he xali: forth, heaven is his bodyguard: if he lie down to sleep, ladders of light, angel-blossoming, are let into his dreams; if he be thirsty, the potentates of heaven are his cup-bearers; if he sit down to food, his plain table blooms into the King's banquet. Men say, "Look at that odd fellow with the worn-out coat;" the angels of God cry. "Lift up your heads, ye everlasting gates, and let him come in!" Fastidious people cry, "Get off my front steps!" the door-keepers of heaven cry, "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom!" When he comes to die, though he may be carried out in a pine box to the potter's field, to that potter's field the chariots of Christ will come down, and the cavalcade will crowd all the boulevards of heaven. • * • Man oX the world! will you not today make a choice between these two portions, between the "south land" of this world, which slopes to the de33?t, and this glorious land which thy Father offers the«, running with eternal water-courses? Why let your tongue be consumed of thirst when there are the nether springs and the upper springs; comfore here and glory hereafter? You and I n-eed something better than this world can give us. The fact is that it cannot give us anything after a while. It iz a changing world. Do you know that even the mountains on the back of a thousand streams are leaping into the valley. The Alleghanies are dying. The dews with crystalline mallet are hammering away the rocks. Frosts, and showers, and lightnings are sculpturing Mount Washington and the Cat skills. Niag* ara is ev*»ry year digging for itself a quicker plunge. The sea all around the earth on its shifting shores is making mighty changes in bar, and bay, and frith, and promontory. Some of the.old sea coasts are midland now. Off Nantucket, eight feet below lowwater mark, are found now the stump* of trees, showing that the waves are conquering the land. Parts of Nova Scotia are sinking. Ships today sail over what, only a little while ago, was solid ground. Near the mouth ttf the J Bt. Crolx river is an island which, J* the movements of the earth, jg slowly but certainly rotating. All the fact of tii* earth hanging—changing. In 1831 an Island springs up In the Mediterranean sea. In 1866 another island comes up under the observation of the American consul as he looks off from the beach. The earth all the lima changing, the columns of a temrile near Blzoli show that the water has risen nine feet above the place it was when the columns were put down. Changing! Our iolumbia river, once vaster than the Mississippi, flowing through the great American desert, which was then an Eden of luxuriance, has now dwindled to a small stream creeping down through a gorge. The earth Itself, that was once vapor, afterward water—nothing but water—after war a molten rock, cooling off through the ages until plants might live, and animals might live, and men might live, changing all the while, now crumbling, now breaking off. The sun, burning down gradually in its socket. Changing! changing! an intimation of the last great change to come over the world even infused into the mind of the heathen who has never seen the Bible. The Hindoos believe that Bramah, the creator, once made all things. He created the water, then moved over the water, out of It lifted the land, grew the plants, and animals, and men on it. Out of his eye went the sun. Out of his lips went the fire. Out of his ear went the air. Then Bramah laid down to sleep four thousand three hundred and twenty million years. After that, they say, he will wake up, and then the world will be destroyed, and he will r.a!:e it over again, bringing up land, bringing up creatures upon It; then lying down again to sleep four thousand three hundred and twenty million years, then waking up : \ d destroying the world again—ere at.on and demolition following each other, until after three hundred and twenty sleeps, each one of these slumbers four thousand three hundred and twenty million y^ars long, Bramah will wake up and die, and the universe will die with him— an intimatic;:, .though very faint, of the great change to come upoji this physical earth spoken of In the Bibjte. But while Bramah may sleep, our uod never slumbers nor sleeps; and the heavens shall pass av> ay with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, and tne earth and 'all things that are therein shall be burned up. , , . "Well," says.some one, "If-that is so; if the world is going from one change to another, tnen what is the use of my toiling for its betterment:' That Is the point on which I want to guard you. I 6*> not want you to be* come misauenropic. It is a great and glorious world. If Christ could afford to spend thirty-three years on i t lor Its redemption, then you can afford 16' toil and pray for the betterment of the nations, and for the bringing on of ihat glorious time when all people shall see the salvation of GocU While, therefore* I want to guard you against misanthropic notions in respect to this subject I have presented, I want you to take this thought home with you: This world is a poor foundation to build on. It is a changing world, and it is a dying world. The shifting scenes and the changing sands are OEJJI embleeas of all earthly expectation. -Life Is very much like this day through which we have passed. To many of us it is storm and darkness, then sunshine, storm and darkness, then afterward a little sunshine, now again darkness and storm.' Oh, bnild not your hopes upon this uncertain world! Build on God. Confide in Jesue. Plan for an eternal residence at Christ's right hand. Then, come sickness or health, come Joy or sorrow, come life er death, all is well, all Is well. In the name of the God of Caleb, and bis daughter, Achsah, I this day offer you the "upper springs" of unfading and everlasting rapture. PaMloff of the Family Bible. The "Decadence or Passing of the Family Bible." Th*#«? words mean much mere than appears on the surface. Every man and woman remembers the pleasure and pride which he or she felt in the large family Bible in their childhood days. Remembering this, have you stopped to think for a moment how few large family Bibles are In evidence today? My attention having been called to this, curiosity prompted me to make inquiries of the manager of one of the most prominent religious publishing houses in the city. "The demand for the large book gradually ceased during the last decade^ he said. "It is no longer considered the thing to have a handsome family Bible as the principal ornament of the parlor table. In the first place, the records which were once made in it. are now registered. The size whlcn has now taken its place is a serviceable one with good maps, flexible covprs and excellent print It is gotten up *4 less expense, and It Is now considered proper for every member .of the family to have an Individual Bible, instead of depending upon the large, unwie^djr volume of our grandfathers." The respect due to old age is always dealt out of a ladle to the wealthy grandfather.

The Americaps came directly to the 'point anddeclared that the United State* must have the entire Philippine archipelago, and for a treaty cession of the islands, the Americana tendered to Spain 820# 000,000. They declared that it is thj purpose of the United States to. mail? tain the Philippine islands aa au "opes doo.r" to the world's commerce. On thp terms named, the United States proposes a mutual relinquishmenV^of a}i claims for indemnity, national cur p sonal subsequent to the- outbreak the last Cuban insurrection.- November 28th is fixed a« on which the United States commissioners desire a definite response the propositions and all othev j in issue. • £ It is also declared that the tfnited States desires to treat on the religious freedom of the Caroline island, as agreed upon between the Uhitedtitytes and Spain in 1886, and also in fhe,tacquisition of one of the Caroline islands for an American naval station, and of cable-landing rights at other places hi Spanish jurisdiction, and the revival of certain Spanish American treaties as in force. The Americans also refuse to arbitrage article 3 of the peace protocol, bearing upon the future disposition and control of the fhilppine islands. 'the London papers concede the generoBity of the offers of the United States peace commissioners and express the opinion that Spain would be foolish to reject them. They express universal gratification at the announcement of an "open door" policy in the Philippines. The Daily Mail calls the o^er of 820,000,000 indemnity "a sur' prising1 act of generosity." Cuban ComtniftHfoner* Arrive. Qen.

An amuBlng scene occurred during a performance of a spiritualistic seance in Birmingham when several gentlemen who doubted the genuineness of the performance visited the establishment to investigate matters.

A WOMAN'S IDEAL. Mr8. Blenkins laid down her novel with a deep sigh. The hero of the elopement In the last chapter was such a splendidly romantic figure. No wonder his friend's wife ran away with him. Any woman wduld have found it impossible to resist him. He was so unlike Jack. Poor Jack was so dreadfully prosaic. He never even quarreled, He was too phlegmatic for anger. A t least that was the way Mrs. Blenkins put It to herself. Of course Jack was fond of her. She knew that perfectly well. But his affection took the form of placid contentment, a desire to be amiable, a sickening domestic blfss. No rich Southern blood flowed in his veins. His eyes would not flash; he never seized her by the wrist, or stamped and called her "woman." He never opposed her. If she expressed a wish, it was carried out without a murmur. If she scolded him he bore it meekly. An exasperating man; a puny creature; the reverse of Adolphus de Moutmorency. the hero aforesaid. Fate had clearly treated Sophia Blenldns badly in uniting a woman of her temperament to such a man aa Jack. Others might be contented to lead a hundrum life by the side of an unambitious, domesticated husband; but Mrs. Blenkins possessed higher Ideals. Her passionate nature and artistic susceptibilities demanded something nobler than commonplace virtue. She felt herself utterly thrown away upon Jack. He was only fit for the ordinary woman. Mrs. Blenkins' reverie was so deep that she did not hear the sound of the latchkey. The first intimation she received of her husband's presence was when he stood before her. He was not, certainly, a romantic object. The pockets of his overcoat bulged out unsymmetrically; from under each arm an ungainly brown paper parcel protruded. "I wish you wouldn't make such an exhibition of yourself!" exclaimed Sophia, with a look of Intense disgust; "it's so dreadfully bourgeois. Why didn't you have the things sent?" "Nobody saw me, I'm sure," said Jack, putting the parcels triumphantly down on the table, "and I wanted to give you a surprise." He took out a penknife and cut the string. The first package contained a pair of warm sleeping socks; from the second he produced a beetle trap. "I know you suffer from cold feet," he Bald, "and I heard the cook complain of the cockroaches this morning." The rest of his purchases consisted of various household requirements; a mousetrap, a set of blacking brushes, some digestive candy, and so forth. As Jack displayed these trifles, one by one, he looked anxiously at his wife in the hope of detecting a gratified smile. But Sophia's thoughts had gone* out (swiftly to Adolphus de Montmoreney. Adolphus would not have preheip reflecting that Adolphus would never have given In to such a disease. His will power would have saved him. Sophia became a widow. She wept over Jack, of course; but behind her grief there was a kind of exultant feel- Ing that the ideal man had become, after all, a possibility. Of course Sophia met him. The ordinary conventional method of making hie acquaintance was too commonplace for her emancipated soul. It was a case of love at first sight, and the latter occurred on the Brighton grand parade. Love ripened Into acquaintance. His name was Eugenlo FitzJones. The Jones she forgave because his mother had been ail Italian. They were married a year after Jack's death. It made no difference to the dead man; the flowers on his grave had ceased within six weeks of the funeral. For a whole fortnight Sophia lived in the delirious atmosphere of two people who do not know each other. Then her ideals began to be realized. Jack had always been deeply interested in her thoughts and confidences. His acquiescence in her opinions and slavish admiration of her menial gifts had been positively sickening. Eugenio would not listen to her at all. Women's views were of no consequence whatever in his estimation. If she spoke on social questions he shut her up in the rudest fashion. He never brought her In a present when he came home from business. Jack never failed to have something In his pocket, at least twice a week. But Eugenio had more Important matters to consider. He had his club, and his Wagner society, and his golf, and his bicycle. Frequently he dined out with bachelor friends. When Sophia remonstrated with him he told her to mind her own business. He even went so far as to strike her. The blow waa not so sweet as Sophia had anticipated, In spite of Adolphus. In a year's time he had drunk himself to death. The gossips declared it was a happy release for Mrs. Fitz- Jones. But the flowers were always fresh on Eugenio's grave. And his magnificent tombstone, which absorbed most of the widow's provision, was the envy of every mourning neighbor. When Sophia died a year later the doctor declared it was the result of a broken heart. She passed away with the name of Eugenio on her lips.—London Sun. GOLD AND HONEY IN A TREE.

Coal-Dost Fine dust of coal or of flour mixed with air forms an explosive agent which has been the cause of many a mice and flour-mill disaster. Advantage is taken of this property of combustible dust In a new process of boiler- firing. The fuel reduced to dust is fed by machinery Into the furnace in which a fire must constantly be maintained. The instant the dust falls into the furnace chamber it burns with a flash, almost explosively, and the production of smoke is absolutely prevented and the firing becomes economical as regards consumption of fuel. It would seem that it might lead to the utilization of the enormous mountains of coal slack which cover so many square miles of land in the mining districts. His High MIMJOB.

It was almost more than she could bear. To be tied to a man who could not soar above mouse traps. • "Take them away. . How could you buy such thrash?" she cried, exasperated. The pained look on Jack's face nearly drove her mad. His meekness Irritated her beyond endurance. Why didn't he swear at her? A blow even would be preferable to silence. Adolphus would have fired up Instantly and probably bundled her out of the room with physical violence. It waa terrible to have this provoking saint's sorrowful humility.

After the tree ,had fallen they quickly lighted some rags, and after the bees had been smoked out each boy made a rush to obtain his share of the honey. They soon filled a twenty-gallon stand and two or three buckets, and as the last comb of honey was being taken down they saw some shining object still further down in the tree. They set to work with their ax, and soon a block was chipped off large enough to see the object better, and it was found to be a pot of gold, the value of which was $2,000.

Morend Severely Scorched. A conflagration, which for a time .threatened the entire business portion of the town, did 135,000 damage at 'Morenci. About 5 p. m. flames broke through the roof of a frame building in the rear of Geo. W. Hecker's dry goods store. Au alarm was turned in and as quickly as possible a stream was playing upon the burning structure, but it had little effect and the flames spread rapidly to the surrounding buildings, until five of them were ablaze. Adrian was then telepraghed for aid, but before it arrived the local department and citizens had the flames under control. The damage is estimated to be at least 935,000, as follows: George W. Hecker, dry goods, 96,000; insurance, 94,000. Wilson & Lee, druggists, stock and building, 914,000; insurance, 97,000. C. D. Wakefield, building, 86,000; insurance, 93,000. R. M. Smith, bazaar, stock and buildings, $3,600; insurance, $1,100. Dan E. Mo wry, building, 9500. Wm. Helms, barber shop and household goods, 91,000; no insurance.

Burglars visited the village of Martin, Allegah county, and broke into the G. R. & I. station by forcing a window. They drilled the door of the new safe in the office, and inserting a stick of dynamite, completely shattered the safe. The work of the burglars went for nought, as the money was kept in an old safe in another room. A burglar alarm connecting the depot with the station agent's home awoke the agent, and he and his assistant armed themselves and hurried to the station and gave battle to the robbers. The latter opened fire first, and Marshall Wyck, the assistant agent, fell with a bullet in his hip. He managed to wing one of the thieves in the leg. Finding that things were becoming too warm for them, the safe blowers ran to a neighboring barn stole two horses and rode desperately to the north. The whole population turned out, armed with all sorts of weapons, and gave chasCto the bandits. One of them was caught at Wayland, the other at Gunn lake. They made a peaceable surrender and thus saved their lives, as the posse was in no mood for temporising. Wyck's wound is said to be of a serious nature. Saved Her Life by a Kiss. Christian Witt^an impecunious, quarrelsome German, of Lansing, terrorized his family, consisting of his wife and six children, for a number of years. He frequently abused his wife, and spent most of his earnings for drink. He had just completed a term of 00 days in the Detroit house of correction, and he went at once to his home and engaged his wife in conversation. Finally he seized her and throwing her /down asked if she loved him. She saw murder in his eye and answered yes. He than asked her to kiss him, which she did. She then broke away and ran to the house of a neighbor. An officer was summoned, and upon visiting the house Witt was found lying dead on the floor, his throat horribly gashed with a razor which he held in his hand, and the body was covered with blood. U. P. Pine Forest* Disappearing. Lumbering will be an exceedingly active Industry this winter in the upper peninsula of Michigan and in Mar* quette county; the cut of the jobbers who are already in the woods in this county will aggregate 16,700,000-feet. There are 500 man Employed in tbje camps now established. Wages this year are the highest they have/ been since the panic. Lumbering operations which will be carried on in Alger, Luce and Schoolcraft counties Will be the largest in the history of the region. It is estimated by old time lumbermen that the output in those counties will exceed any previous cut by 50,000,000 feet. At this rate the already thinned forests, of what was once considered an almost inexhaustible supply of pine, will soon disappear. Slat Klohlfau Ordered to Get Beady. Gen. Snyder'h brigade has been finally ordered from Knoxrille, Tenn., to Cuba, landing at Trinidad, Santa Clara. The Fourth Tennessee is the most nearly equipped regiment, and will leave with Gen. Snyder, embarklag on the Manitoba at Savannah. Th* Slit Michigan and Sixth Ohio are ordered to complete equipment and follow as aaoa as water transportation can be provided. Detroit is talking of having a big exposition in 1901 to <c>l<>hrate the foundation of t»io «.-. . Heavy Losses on the Lakes. The blinding snowstorm which accompanied the northerly gale on Lake* Michigan and Superior last week proved most disastrous to shipping. Following is a list of wrecks: Steamer St. Lawrence, cargo of(Jcorn, ashore on Ft. Betsey, off Frankfort; steamer Hiram W. Sibley, cargo of corn, ashore on North Fox island; steamer John Mitchell and whaleback No. 133, corn, ashore on North Manitou island; steamer E&canaba, cargo of salt, ashore near Munising, Lake Superior, released after jettisoning 1,000 barrels of salt. In all these disasters but one life was lost, Mike Britz, second engineer of the St. Lawrence, was drowned while the life savers were taking off the crew. The cargoes of the four grain laden steamers amount to 334,000 bu of corn. The vessels themselves are valued at 9335,000 and are all high class. The steamer Harlem of the Western transit line, went ashore on Isle Royale and is probably beyond help. The Harlem had a cargo of general merchandise for the northwest and the loss upon it, even if the steamer is saved is likely to reach 9100,000. The Harlem was one of the crack package feight liners. She was built by the Detroit Drydock Co. in 1888 and was rated in the highest class. Her value was in the neighborhood of 9200,000 Mysterious Shooting at Port Huron. A very strange case of murder or suicide is connected with the death of George King, of Port Huron, who died from wounds received two days before. During that time King was about town with a large gash on the right temple which exposed the skull and it was thought that this was the cause of death, but during the postmortem a bullet hole was found in the skull half an inch above the gash. The bullet had plowed through the right lobe of the brain and lodged against the top of the skull on the left side. Dr. Henderson stated that there is no doubt that King received the bullet wound along with the cut, but where and how he received the wounds is a mystery. STATE GOSSIP.

The reply of the Spaniards was so brief that less than 10 minutes were consumed in rendering it into English for the Americans. The Spanish commission announced that being authorized by their government to reply that the American propositions are inadmissible, and are not a proper compromise on legal principles, on the Spanish part all diplomatic resources are exhausted and the Spanish commission is now asked to accept or reject the propositions. Spain, inspired by reasons of patriotism and humanity, and to avoid the horrors of war, resigns herself to- the power of the victor. She accepts the conditions offered in order to conclude a treaty of peace. The secretaries were then empowered to prepare the treaty articles embodying the cession of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines and the payment by the United States of 930,000,000. The American demands included the acquisition of the whole of the Philippine and Sulu groups for 920,000,000, and it is also understood the United States will purchase the Caroline group. The question of the debt of Cuba was left unsettled. Peace Commission Completing the Work. The peace commissioners at Paris are rapidly completing their work on the treaty.

Pledge of the U. S. to preserve order in the Philippines pending the ratification of the treaty. 6. Release of military prisoners. 7.

Release by Spain of political prisoners for offenses in Cuba and the Philippines. 12. The pledge of the U. S. to inaugurate in the Philippines an "open door11 policy and to guarantee the same to Spain for at least 12 years. 13. A revival of the treaties broken by the war. The first three articles were mutually agreed upon in one day's sitting, as was also the article embodying the terms of the evacuation of the Philippines, which will be practically the same as in the evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico. The mutual release of military prisoners was agreed upon, Spain liberating the rebel prisoners and the United States liberating the Manila garrison and the Spaniards held by Aguinaldo. The political prisoners to be released by Spain are such as are now in exile at Ceuta, in Morocco, or at other Spaa^ ish penal settlements. Blanco Returns to. Spain* Blanco, the last Spanish captain-general to rule Cuba, has returned to his native Spain. There was no demonstration at his departure from Kavana; in fact only those visited him to sayadieu whose military duty compelled them to do so and instead of fehe comforting words of friends- only bitter vituperation is now heard from his erstwhile associates who openly denounce him as being responsible for the disasters which came to- Spain in the latter days of her attempt to rale the island. He- is openly accused of weakness and lack of character. He is made responsible for the reverses of the campaign and the final result of the war, as the corrupt instrument of the corrupt and unprincipled few who rule Spaim. I •paateh Crookedness at Baa Jaaa. Jose Hernandez, an engineer, Martin Riviera, a foreman, and Francisco Noa, a cashier in the department of harbor works, of San Juan, Porto Eloo, have been arrested, charged with misappropriation of funds. They carried dummies on its pay rolls and charged expenses in connection with a dredge which has long been out of business.

Rome: The pope has been so alarmed by the news that, with the consent of the queen regent, and with a view of avoiding bloodshed, he has opened negotiations with Don Carlos, proposing that Don Jaime, the pretender's son, should manry Princess Mary of Asturias. Central American Union Tumbles. The attempt to effect a coalition between the states of Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador, to be conducted under a common administration and known as the United States of Central America, has failed completely. The federal organizers have formally declared the union dissolved, the three states resuming respectively absolute sovereignty. The collapse is duo to the failure of the troops at Honduras, acting in behalf of the federal organizers, to suppress the outbreak in Salvador against the proposed federation and to force Salvador into the union. Gen. Tomas Regalado, the head of the revolutionary movement in Salvador has usurped the presidency and proclaimed'himself chief executive of the republic of Salvador. President Gutierrez has-fled. ftermauy After the Carolines. High German officials confirms the report that Germany is negotiating with Spain for the purchase of the Caroline islands, "the acquisition of which is important less from the standpoint of commerce, which is insignificant there, than from a naval viewpoint." It is understood that Spain expects to get 10,000,000 francs for them, which Germany considers excessive. Germany makes the proviso that the negotiations shall be contingent upon no international complications arising, and especially with the United States. THE NEWS CONDENSED. Hero Hobson refused an offer of 950,• 000 to go on a short lecture tour. The Sixth Ohio has been ordered from Camp Poland to Cienfuegos, Cuba. Congressman Frank G. Newlands will try to supersede Wm.

It is reported from Madrid thai Don Carlos will not publish a manifesto against the dynasty until the ratification of the peaoe treaty by the cortes. Premier Sagasta is reported to have said that if the United Statas insist upon Spain paying the Cuban and Philippine debts she will honor her signature to the extent of her resources. An attempt by a party of roughs to break up a meeting of the Eighteenth Ward Republican elnb at Chicago resulted in a riot in. which one man was killed and several others seriously wounded; Deputy Sheriff John Warnock of Birmingham, Ala., was shot and killed by Will GoLdston, a Negro murderer sent up for life- from Autaga county, and recently- escaped from a convict camp iifc that county.

Mr. Hall then went about his business and by no meana hurried himself to attend upon the invalid at Sullivan's. He had auch a horror of drunkards in general that the man's illness excited no sympathy within. Besides he had nothing to communfcate regarding Robert Luke, the brother, and had long since ceased to take any interest in what had become of him. Leisurely mounting his horse that afternoon, he rode down to the publichouse. There he was received by an expectant crowd of loafers, foremost amongst whom was the landlord he so much detested. "Take Mr. Hall's horse, Bill, can't yer!" cried Sullivan. "Very good of you, sir, I'm sure, to have taken the trouble to come. This business has quite upset me—It's awful!"—and the man really did look as if his nerves were in a more shattered condition than usual. "Will you step inside, sir?" he asked respectfully. "I have a letter you had better see at once." Mr. Hall followed the landlord into the little bAck-parlor, which was eo far in advance of the rest of the establishment as to boast of a calico ceiling. Closing the door, Sullivan pulled out t letter from the depths of one of his pockets. It was the letter written by Robert Luke to. his brother in England. Mr. Hall read the letter carefully through. "I can't make head or tail of ft," he remarked at last. "It is dated on the day the man disappeared, I see; but what was the trial, and what was the thousand pounds reward be seemed so keen about getting?" "You'll remember, sir, surely I It was the great Froyles murder in England This man William Luke was taken up on suspicion. He was the butler to the old gent who was killed." "Yes, yes; I remember now reading all about it," replied Mr. Hall, becoming more Interested. "Well, this William Luke was condemned to death, and there seemed no doubi that he committed the murdor. Shortly after the execution was to have taken place, however, the police got upon another scent." "I remember—and he was pardoned." "Yee, sir; and the people who were wanted in hia stead were two of the «ervants who gave evidence against him at the trial. Here is a printed handbill describing them. Mr. Hall took the paper in his hand. It was headed "One Thousand Pounds Reward," and contained the descriptions of Edward Bartlett and Anne Dodson. "I cannot ««y that this in any way enlightens ntfe," he remarked presently. Then, referring to Robert Luke's letter to his brother, he said, "Luke seemed to fancy that he traced a likeness in Tom Baynes to the woman who is here 'wanted.' This is absurd!" "He had his own reasons, no doubt," replied Sullivan. "Possibly he had, or thought he had; but—which is more likely—he was carried away* by the hopes of gaining the reward, and so allowed himself to suspect people without just cause." "He may have been right, anyhow," growled the landlord. , "I 'doil't think so, and I'll tell you why. I have seen Baynes* wife, and she in no way answers the description of the woman here." "Oh, you have seen her?"—"Yes." "And" *hat was she like?" "In the first place she was not nearly so tall as this Anne Dodson, who seems to have been much above the average height of women. Then her. hair was very dark.** "Tjhat. mijtfxt easilr ^ managed/' argued jSuHlvaa. . "Of course; but her features In no way answered the description here. In tact, I am certain she could not Have been the sanve ..person." . "Oh!" grunted Sullivan/in a disappoiji^ taWft. "Well, perhaps, sir, you Would like to see the man Luke. He is in the next room." . "You wished to see me," said the squattar, taking * seat by the bedside. "Yes, sir," said Luke, "if you are Mr. CharfcwHatt." •• - • - "That is my name!" "I iave come out all this way to see my brother Robert" "Yea; I know all about It. You hare aeard BOW suddenly he went away?" "He never west away, str," replied the sick man. "What, then, do you euppoee has be- Raids* himself with difficulty eae Am. William Lake looked wildly abo«t him. "My head—my head!" he exclaimed. "Oh, don't mind me, sir! I'll think directly." "My belief—Is—that he has been put away!" "Put away?" "Yes, sir—murdered!" "Nonsense, man; you are imagining things which we know cannot be true! By whom could he have been murdered?" "By them." "Whom?" "Edward Eartlett and Anne Dodson." "My good fellow," said Mr. Hall soothingly, "there have been no such people in this neighborhood. Your brother's suspicions as to Baynes were quite ridiculous. He and his wife were nothing like the people here described;" and Mr. Hall held up the printed handbill as he spoke. "This Baynes—can I see him? Will you have him brought to me here, so that I may be satisfied?" "Why, he was here last night," Interposed Sullivan, "and you were talking to him yourself at the door." "He was—and you never told me?" "Told you? How was I to know then what you wanted? If people are so precious close——** "You will bring him to me, then?" cried Luke, seizing Mr. Hall's hand as he spoke. "That X cannot do," replied the squatter. "Tom Baynes and his wife left the station at an early hour this morning," "Gone?" shrieked the man in an agony of excitement. "You have let them go! Yon are all against me. Oh, murdered, murdered!" he yelled, and struggling to leap out of the bed, he fell upon the floor in an epileptic fit. CHAPTER XII. By slow degrees William Luke recovered from his illness so far that he could get out and walk about a little with the aid of a stick. Nothing would now induce him to touch spirits; and Sullivan grumbled mightily at having a lodger who, he declared, not only occupied his "best bedroom," but hardly spent enough to pay for his "tucker." Still Sullivan had one consolation, and that was that, as the story of the new arrival was circulated, people were curious to see this William Luke who had been condemned for murder and pardoned. Luke's one desire was to get strong enough to go on to Redmount and search for some traces of his brother. "He ain't there," replied Sullivan, as he listened to his customer's repetition of the old story for about the fiftieth time. "Didn't Mr. Hall teil you for certain that the Bayneses couldn't be the ones you are after? Didn't he fc£» Baynes' wife? And didn't the trooper and other people see her and him? And aren't they all certain you are on the wrong track?" "But what made them go off so suddenly," said Luke, still unconvinced, "the very day I came up?" "Bless the man," cried Sullivan, getting, weary of arguing with him— "hasn't Mr. Hall toid you over and over again that the chap got a letter, saying his sister was ill in Sydney? If you will make a mystery of everything connected with them, why, you will— tint's all I've got to say." But the more Luke thought, and the more he read and re-read his brother's letter, the more certain he felt that there was something about the Bayneses which no one as yet suspected. Did not his brother say that on that very night of the 25th of May he intended to visit their hut? "I mean to see ber tonight, whether or no. Baynes is away fetching some stores, and won't be home until morn- Ing. So now's my chance!" These were the words which William Luke read as he sat beneath the shade of a gum tree on the creek side, and racked.his brains to work the puzzle out. One day—about a month after his arrival at Sullivan's, and when he had become tolerably convalescent—Lul.e made up his mind that he would go to Redmount; so, borrowing a horse, he started off. Upon reaching the station, he was received with every kindness by the hands, who felt a rough sympathy for the man who had come so far to see his brother and had not found him. Mr. Hall, too, had got over the first feeling of disgust he had entertained for "the gentleman who had been drinking and had had fite," and asked him la his kindliest manner to up with him to the house and talk ten over. "I wish to ask yon ccveral questions sir," said Luke, "about things that have been on my mind." "Ask away," replied the squatter. "First of all, I must tell you something of my own history," began Luke nervously. "That is unnecessary, I am sure," said Mr. Hall gently. "It cannot possibly bear upon this present question." "No, sir; perhaps not, but still I think I'd rather." "Go on, then—I am listening." "Well, sir, I entered service early, and was in many a good situation; but latterly I could not keep my places. The curse of my life, as it has been the curse of many another one, was the drink. The place where I lived before I went to Mr. Hughes—who, you know, was murdered—I left on that account* I cheeked the master, and he said I had stolen his wine. That was true. However I made up my mind on going to my new situation to turn over a new leaf!" "And you did not succeed?" "No, sir. I went on very v:e\\ for a short time; but, If it is not wicked to speak so of the dead, he was a most provoking old gentleman. Frequently he would find fault without any sort of occasion; and on that particular day of the dinner-party he had been more than unusually cantankerous. That and my old habits made me take to the liquor again. I felt annoyed and put out, and was 'nipping' pretty freely throughout the day. After the dinner was over, I took a bottle of sherry from the cellaret, and drank it up in my room." "Yes," said Mr. Hall; "and you were not quite sober in the morning." "I was three-parts drunk when I awoke, and could not clearly bring to mind anything which had occurred on the previous night " "Just so!" "Well, you know the rest. I was convicted, condemned, and ultimately pardoned. Edward Bartlett, the footman, swore in his evidence against me at the trial that I had been often talking of how I should like to raise money enough to take me out to Australia." "And had you done so?" "Believe me, sir, as there's a Heaven above and as I sit here, it was he who was always speaking of coming out here. Such a notion never entered my head." "Well, but how does this bear upon the question?" "I will tell you, sir. My brother Robert was in court when I was tried. He had been for some years in the Metropolitan Police, and, unlike me, was steady in his habits.

It was suggested that I auction off the alleged ship and of course in the cause I was glad to do so.

"Yes, yes—I understand,** said Mr. Hall. "His letter explains the rest," continued Luke. "I came out here as quickly &3 I could—not only in the hoyes of tracing them and bringing them to Justice, but, I must confess, of sharing the thousand pound* reward." "Exactly—very natural!" "On the way out, on board ship, I was drinking pretty freely; but it was not until my Journey up by the coach that it began to tell upon me. When I got to Sullivan's. I felt In an unnaturally excited state—sort of wild—I cannot tell you how." "I hope never to know from personal experience," said Mr. Hall, smiling; "but I can easily imagine. You felt what the men up here call 'Jumpy'?" "Just so, sir*. I felt it coming on; and, when I heard of my brother's disappearance, I was taken——" "Well, we won't talk about that—I know all the re'st." "Thank you, sir," said Luke, wiping the perspiration from his forehead at the bare recollection of the agonies he had endured. "One thing I most particularly wish to ask you, sir," he continued, after a pause—"is it true that Baynes received a letter from Sydney that night by the mall, telling him his sister was dying?" "Poor Baynes! Well, Luke, you certainly have it firmly implanted in your mind that that harmless youth was mixed up in some way or other in your tragedy. To answer your question, to the best of my belief Baynes did get a letter to that effect" "To the best of your belief r* "Yea; for I did not see It" "But you.have a locked mail-bag?"— "Yes." "And you saw the letters taken out?" "Yes. I took them out myself; but his letter was not amongst them. He told me the driver of the coach, Sam Jones; brought it up for him by hand." "The driver brought It up?" repeated Luke. "Yes, the driver—so he toid me." "That is strange. I never heard of that before.

TO FARMERS. happily su;.^e«tive of tl)p stnbilw/ 'i'.ir government and the immens- . :\:M\ variety of our national interests i:;a; while the war was in progress executive departments not directly concerned were working as quietly and methodically as in times of peaee. For instance, during the month of July the Department of Agriculture published about ninety maps, charts, books and pamphlets. Excluding from the list the plans and diagrams sent out by the Weather Bureau, fifty publications remain. In the tuatter of size, they vary from the fourpage "Crop Circular," the statistical fll:."tnict nnd forecast which is prepared monthly and regularly reprinted in the daily papers, to the first volume of an elaborate treatise on "American Grasses," containing more than three hundred pages and nearly as many illustrations. These fifty publications have an, equally wide, ran.ee. The Department of Agriculture has, twenty bureaus, divisions and officers, and thirteen of them are represented in the literary output for the month. Among the many and diverse subjects to which pamplets were devoted are: The larger apple-tree borers, the periodical cicada, principal poisonous plants of the United States, the trade of Puerto Rico, flax-culture for seed and fiber, the beetsugar industry, the care of milk on tho farm, corn-culture in the South, and food adulteration. These essays, it must be remembered, are prepared by men who can speak with authority. Almost without exception, they record original investigations, as well as tho results attained byexperimenters in other lands. They are not written in the "jargon" of science; but in the language of the people, and as a whole they impress us aa eminently timely, practical, comprehensive and useful. Some of the pamphlets are sold at a nominal price, me'ely to insure that they shall not fall into unappreciative hands; others, more popular in character, are sent free to any applicant. The Department iesues a monthly list of publications, which is mailed regularly to all who write to the Department at Washington and nsk for it, and this describes every publication, gives its eogr. )f auy, and tells how and wher» to procure it. The taint of partiFanahip can hardly attach to work of this sort. Therefor* we do not hesitate to advise that farmers arrange to keep in touch with it. It should be a pleasure, as it is clearly a duty, to sustain a national institution which serves and honors our most important national interest.

At the top of the transfer slip to the right, seven faces are inclosed in a circle. First of a young man, clean shaven. .Next is one wearing a mustache, then comes the s portrait of one wearing sidewhiskers. Another has a full beard, and the next a short stubby one, thus in the whole seven nearly approximating the looks or style of the general travelling public. The last two faces being those of an old and young woman. When the conductor issues a transfer be sizes up the recipient as compaied with the various faces on the ticket, and punches the one with the nearest resemblance in style, etc. He is thus The Depth of the See, The real depth of the sea can now, by means of the ingenious instruments devised for the purpose, be ascertained with a reasonable degree of certainty. It has been thus shown that the Baltic, between Sweden and Norway, is 125 feet deep; the Adriatic, between Venice and Trieste, 130; the English Channel, 300; the Irish Sea, in the southwestern part, 2,000; the Mediterranean, east of Gibraltar, 3,100; off th» coast of Spain, 6,200; by the Cape of Good Hope, 15,500. The basins of the southern hemisphere dip and rise alternatively from the equator toward the poles, causing very unequal depth* of water. Captain Ross' famous experiment in this way is probably familiar to aH. By throwing over a heavy weisMi to which a small line was attached, he succeeded in penetrating 27,000 feet, when the weight broke off without vouching the bottom. It is well knov.n. however, that greater oceanic depths than this have, of late years, been reached, and even during the exploration of the Gulf Stream under Maury soundings of the ocean were made to the depth of 34,200 feet, or more than six tiatute miles—a vast depth, indeed, and greater, it may be laid, than the elevation of any mountain abovj the surface.

A good bluff is often more effective than a bad act. Cupid uses nothing but smokeless in his warfare It Is easier for some men to sing a hymn than speak the truth. Some people make the best thing of everything—and others take it. The best some people can do is to express somebody else's opinions.

XII, S9:—"Th« ChUdrea of !•• » Had Understanding- to Know What I*ra«l Gag-lit te Do.** The kangaroo is a healthy looking animal, but it is nearly always on its last legs. The trouble with the man who knows it all is that he is unable to keep It to himself. No man ever did a designed injury to another but at the same time he did a greater to himself. It's a wise man who can conjecture what a woman Is going to say—and it's a foolish one who wants to. Even though she refuses him, a woman always admires the good judgment, of-the man who proposes. Wisest schemes by statesmen spun, time has seen them one by one like the leaves of autumn fall—a little song outlives them all. A scientist recently asserted that a man could double his circulation by bathing bit feet in tepid water, and now some rural editors are having tanks fitted to their office stoves. No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle-'and pure and good, without the world being better for it, without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness. The proportion of genius to the vulgar Is like one to a million; but genius without tyranny, without pretension, that judges the weak with equity, the superior with humanity, and equal* with justice, is like one to ten million. Felix Mendejsshon, in the first half of this century, thought to spare his sister's feelings by publishing her songs under his name. In the closing years of the nineteenth century Professors Ayrton and Welldon proudly acknowledge that for a large part of the interesting facts in science they have recently presented to the British Association they are indebted to the assiduous labors of their respective wives. A Chicago junk dealer has been using his G-year-old boy as a cart horse. Th« boy was hitched to a small wagon by means of a strap, performing the labors of the noble equine while his father went along and gathered up old rags and iron. On the day that a policeman arrested the father the little fellow 'had traveled many miles through muddy alleys, and had a look of weary resignation on his face just like & tired horse. His lather was fined S257 One of the results of the late war between the United States and Spain will most likely be the abolition of that form of naval piracy which finds Us justification in prize courts. In the military service of the civilized worW the principle of looting conquered territory has long since been abandoned. Yet, through that strange contradiction which has not reformed the aavy in the same rtftto Ha which the army has been brought usder civilizing influences, not only did the merchant vessels carrying contraband goods fall ft prey, but a, valuation of the warships destroyed Is bound to go to officers and saiiors of the ships engaged In the fight The race problem, in dealing with Puerto Rico, Is quite certain to be a difficult one; hut the religious problem will be still more perplexing. The inhabitants of toe Island are—substantially without exception—Roman Catholics. Although there are millions of Americans of the same faith, the new dttoone of our country will naturally retard «s as a Protestant people. The j are accustomed to a religion established br law and supported by the state. There will be nothing of the sort hereafter. The Puerto Rice** will have perfect freedom in reUfton, but they •oppar t their «wm instltntioas. Ja ether oountries to provide the tmnd# Great tribe, that tribe of Issacbar. When Joab took the census, there were 145,600 of them. Before the almanac was born, through astrological study, they knew from stellar conjunctions all about the seasons of the year. Before agriculture became an art they were skilled In the raising of crops. Before politics became a science they knew the temper of nations; and whenever they marched, either for pleasure or war, they marched under a three-colored flag—topaz, sardine, end carbuncle. But the chief characteristic of that tribe of Issachar was that they understood the times. They were not like the political and moral incompetents of our day, who are trying to guide 1898 by the theories of 1828. They looked at the divine Indications in their own particular century. So we ought to understand the tiroes, not' the times when America was thirteen colonies, huddled together along the Atlantic coast, but the times when the nation dips one hand in the ocean on one sir1- of the continent, and the other hanu in the ocean on the other side the continent; times which put New York Narrows and the Golden Horn of the Pacific within one flash of electric telegraphy; times when God is as directly, as positively, as solemnly, as tremendously addressing us through £he daily newspaper and the quick revolution of events as he ever addressed the*ancients, or addresses us through the Holy Scriptures. The voice of God in Providence Is as important as the voice of God in typology; for In our own day we have had our Sinais with thunders of the Almighty, and Calvaries of sacrifice, and Gethsemaneg that sweat great drops of blood, and Olivets of ascension, and Mount Pisgahs of far-reaching vision. The Lord who rounded this world six thousand years ago, and sent his Son to redeem it near nineteen hundred years ago, has yet much to do with this radiant, but agonized planet. May God make us lfke the children of Issachar, "which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do." The birthday of our nineteenth century occurred in the time of war. Our small United States navy, under Capt. Truxton. commanding the frigate Constitution, was in collision with the French frigates La Vengeance and L'Insurgente, and the first infant cries-} of this century were drowned in- the roar of naval battle. And political strife on this continent was the hottest, the parties rending each other with pantherine rage. The birthday present of this nineteenth century ,was vituperation, public unrest, threat of national demolition, and horrors national and international. I adjure you, let not the twentieth century be met In that awful way, but with all bright-, neas of temporal and religious prospects. First, let us put upon the cradle of the new century a new map of the world. The old map was black with too many barbarisms, and red with too many slaughters, and pale with too many sufferings. Let us see to it that on that map, so far as possible, our country from ocean to ocean is a Christianized continent—schools, colleges, churches aad good homes in long line from ocean beach to oce.an beach. On that map Cuba must ^fl free. The archipelago of the Philippines must be free. If cruel Spain, expects by procrastination and intriguer to get back what she has surrendered, then the warships Iowa, and Indians, and Breoklya, and Texas, and Vesuvius, and Oregon must be sent back to southern waters, or across to the coast of Spain, to silence the insolence, as decidedly as last summer they silenced the Cristobal Colon, and Oquendo, and Maria Teresa, and Vixcaya. When we get those islands thoroughly under our protectorate, for the first time our missionaries in China will be safe. The atrocities imposed on these good men and women in the so-called Flowery Kingdom will never be resumed, for our guns wil be too near Hong Kong to allow the massacre of missionary settlements. On that map must be put the Isthmian canal, began if not completed. No long voyages around Cape Horn for the world's merchandise, but short and cheap communication by water instead of expensive communication by rail train^ and more millions will be added to our national wealth and the world's betterment than I have capacity to calculate. On that map it must be made evident that America is to be the world's dviliser and evangel iser. Free from the national religions of Europe on the one aide, and from the superstition's or Asia on UM otter side, it will have facilities for the work that no other eeotlneat can possibly possess. As • s i r a t I saa tell by the laying on of tbe hands of the Lord Almighty, this continent has been ordained for that work. . This Is the only country la the world where ail religions are oa the same platform, and the people ha?e free selection for themselves without any detriment. When we present to the other continents this assortment of religions and give them unhindered choice, we have no doubt of their selecting this religion of mercy, and kindness, and good will, and temporal and eternal rescue. Hear it! America Is to take this world for God! On the map which we will put on the cradle of the new century we must have, very soon, a railroad bridge across Behring Strait, those thirty-six miles of water, not deep, and they are spotted with Islands capable of holding the piers of a great, bridge. And what with America uud Asia thus connected, and Siberian railway, and a railroad now projected for the length of Africa, and Palestine and Persia, and India and China, and Burniah intersected with railroad tracks, all of which will be done before the new century Is grown up, th,y way will be open to the quick civilization and evangelization of the whole world. The old map we used to study in our boyhood days is dusty, and on the top sbelf, or amid the rubbish of the garret; and so will the present map of the world, however gilded and beautifully bound, be treated, and an entirely new map will by put into the infantile hand of the coming centu/y. The work of this century has been to get ready. All the earth Is now free to the gospel except two little spots, one in As!a and one in Africa, while at the beginning of the century there stood the Chinese wall, and there flamed the fires, and there glittered the swords that forbade entrance to many islands and large reaches of continent. Bornesian cruelties and Fiji Island cannibalism have given away, and all the gates of all the continent are swung open with a clang that has been a positive and glorious Invitatioiwfor Christianity to enter. Telegraph, telephone and phonograph are to be consecrated to gospel dissemination, and instead of the voice that gains the attention of a few hundred or a few thousand people within the church walls, the telegraph will thrill the glad tidings and the telephone will utter them to many millions. Oh, the Infinite advantage that the twentieth century has over what the nineteenth century had at the starting! • • I do not believe there is in all this house a temperance pledge, and you would have to take out a torn letCerenvelope or a loose scrap of paper for the inebriate's signature. I found out afterward that there was one such temperance pledge in the audience, but only one that I could hear of. Do not leave to politics that -which nan. _ Be done now in ten thousand reformatory meetings all over the country. The two great political parties, Republican ana Democratic, will put a prohibitory plank in the platform the same day that Satan joins the church and turns perdition Into a camp meeting. Both parties want the votes of the traffickers in liquid death, and if you wait for the ballet box to do the work, first you will have local option, and then you wil! have high license, and then a first-rate law passed; to be revoked by the next legislature. Oh, save the young man of today, and greet the coming century with a tidal wave of national redemption! Do not put upon the cradle of the twentieth century a mountain of demijohns, and beer barrels, and rum jugs, and put to its Infant lips wretchedness, disase, murder, and abandonment in solution. Aye, reform that army of iaebriates. "Ah," you say, "it cannot be done." That shows that you will be of no use in the work. "0, ye of little faith." Away back in eari7 imes, President Davies of Prlnceto-n college, one day found a man in utter despair because of the thrall of strong drink. The president said to him: 'Sir, be of good cheer; you can be saved. Sign the pledge." "Ah," said the despairing victim, "I have often signed the pledge, but I have always broken my pledge." '.'But," said the president, "I will be your strength to keep the pledge. I will be your friend, anrt. with a loving arm around you, will hold you up. When your appetite burns, and you feel that" you must gratify it, ccmo to my house; sit down with me In the a'.udy, or with the family in the parlor, and I will be a shfrfid o you. All that I can do for you with my books, my sympathy, my experience, my sor-iety, my lore, my money, I will do. You shall forget your appetite and master it." A look of hope lowed on thr poor man's face, and he replied: "Sir. will you do all that?" "Surely I will." "Then I will overcome." He sipned the pledge and kept t. That plan of President Davies.which saved one man. tried en a large scale, will save a million men. Alexander the Great made an imperial banquet at Babylon, and though he had been drinking the health of guests all one night and all next day, the second night he had twenty guests aad he drank the health of each separately. Then calling for the cup of Heresies, the giant, a monster cup, be filled and drained it twice, t» show his endurance; but. as he finished last draugnt from the cup of Hercules, the giant, he dropped in a fit, from which he never recovered. Alexander, who had conquered Sardie, and eeaQttered Hallcarnaasus, and conquered Asia, and conquered the world, could not conquer himself; and there Is a threatening peril that this good land of ours, having conquered all with whom it has ever gone into battle, may yet be overthrown by the cup of the giant evil of the land—that Hercules of infamy, strong drink. Do not let the staggering, and bloated, and embruted host of drunkards go into the next century looking for Insane asylums, and almshouses, and delirium tremens, and dishonored graves. Another thing we must get fixed is a national law concerning divorce. William E. Gladstone asked me while walking in his grounds at Hawarden: "Do you not think that your country is in peril from wrong notions of divorce?" And before I had time to answer he said: "The only good law of divorce that you have in America Is the law in South Carolina." The fact is that instead of state laws on this subject, we need a national law passed by the Senate of the United States and the House of Representatives, and plainly interpreted by the Supreme Court of the country. There are thousands of married people who are unhappy, and they ought never to have been wedded. They were deceived or they were reckless, or they were fools, or they were caught by dimple, or hung by a curl, or married in joke, or expected a fortune and it did not come, or good iiaL:^ turned td brutality, and hence the domestic wreck. But make divorce less easy and you ihake UK- human race more cautious about e-'-ring upon lifetime alliance. Let po j\e understand that marriage is not an accommodation train that will let you leave almost anywhere, but a through. t train and then they will riot step; oaf the train unless they exrsa'i-.tp''go- clejar through to the last (loyci.

PeGpie ascemble n churches about 10 o'clock of that last night of the old year, and they have prayers, and songs, and sermons, and ongratulations until the handc of the church clock almost reach the figure twelve, aad then all bow in silent prayer; and the scene is mightily impressive, until the cldcK In the tower of the" hurch, or the clock in the tower of he city hall, strikes twelve, and then all rise and sing with smiling face and ubilant voice the grand doxology, and there Is a shaking of hands all around. But what a tremendous watchnlght the world is soon to celebrate! This entury will depart at twelve o'clock of the thirty.first of December, of the year 1900. What a ntght that will be, whether starlit, or moonlit, or dark with tempest. It will be such a night as you acd I never saw. Those who watched tha coining in of the nineteenth century, long ago went to their pillows of dust. Here and there one will see the new century arrive who saw this century enter, yet they were oo infantile to appreciate the arrival. But on the watch night of which I speak, in all neighborhoods, and towns, and cities, and continents, audiences will assemble and bow in prayer, waitng for the last breath of the dying century, aad when the clock shall strike twelve there will be a solemnity and an overwhelming awe such as has not been felt for a hundred yearB; and then all the people will arise and chant the welcome of a new century of joy and sorrow, of triumph and defeat, of happiness and woe, and neighborhood will shake hands with neighborhood, and church with church, and city with city, and continent with continent, and hemisphere with hemisphere, and earth with heaven, at the stupendous deparure and the majestic arrival.

( , 7O LIVES LOST IN T H E STORM. Later Ktports May Do«b|* the Death List on How KnjrUstd** Coast. The most disastrous winter storm in years has swept over southern New Bngland, New York and New Jersey. While great damage was done throughout those sections, completely stopping, operations on railroads street railways and telegraph lines, yet this was s> small matter when considered in eonnection with the terrible loss to life and shipping on the New England coast. / It is known definitely that more than 70 lives have been lost in the wreclca of tugs, schooners and coal barges, and if the steamer Portland has also gone down, ac now seems possible, the list of casualties will rise to 167, with over 100 vessels of all descriptions ashore or under the waves of Massachusetts bay. There is scarcely a bay, harbor or inlet from the Penobscot to New London that has not on its shores the wreck of some stanch craft, while along Massachusetts bay and especially Boston harbor the beaches are piled high with wreckage of schooners and coal barges. Every life saving crew performed deeds of heroism in rescuing crews from stranded vessels, and tugboat captains risked life and property in their endeavor to save life. The steamer Portland, which it is now feared is lost, had in all 97 souls on board. The Portland is comparatively new, a side-wheel steamer Her length is 280 feet and she is valued at 8250,000. Several persons were frozen to death in and near New York City. Portland Went Down With 09 Soul*. The steamer Portland, of the Boston <fc Portland Steamship Co., which had 99 souls, including officers and crew, on board, was totally wrecked off Highland light, Cape Cod. The passengers numbered 51 and the crew 48. The entire crew and all passengers perished within a short distance of land. Within 24 hours 34 bodies had been recovered from the surf by the life-saving crew at Highland station. One body was that of a woman. The Portland was built in Bath in 1890 and was a side-wheel steamer of 1,317 tons net burden. Her length is 230 feet, beam 42, and depth 15 feet She was valued at 8250,000 and is fully insured.. Later.—Reports from various points on Cape Cod and thereabouts, which were delayed on account of the destruction of telegraph communication add considerable to the loss caused by the storm. Fully 30 wrecked vessels have been added to the long list and at least 12 souls perished on them. It is now certain that over 200 lives were lost in the terrible storm. The exact number of persons who were carried away from Boston by the Portland will probably never be known, as no list of passengers was retained when the vessel left, but it is the most general estimate that 120 persons—passengers and crew—were on board, and not one soul was saved. , Promluoat Cubans Favor AsncouhtUm. A dispatch from Havana says: Domingo Mendez Capote, late vice-president of the Cuban republic and now president of the executive commission, has expressed his belief that the future of Cuba will inevitably be annexation to the United SUtes. This, he said, is the natural outcome of recent events. He says: "The desire for independence has never been stronger among the Cuban people than at present. Our feeling in this respect is unshaken, and the country, I believe, is with us. At the same time we recognize that annexation to the United States is inevitable. We believe it will .come naturally; that it will be by the almost unanimous wish of the people, and that the time will not be long before this wish is expressed." Ex-Queen Lilinokalani, of Hawaii, is in Washington urging President Me- Einley to recognize her claim, to 1,000,- 000 acres of crown lands in Hawaii She offers to sell the land to the U. 8. government for 16,000,000.

These remedies will cure about every case in its first stages; and many of those more advanced. It is only the most advanced that are hopeless. Even these are wonderfully relieved and life itself greatly prolonged. What are these remedies ? Fresh air, proper food and scon's Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypopkospkites. Be afraid of draughts but not of fresh air. Eat nutritious food and drink plenty of milk.

The President reviews the well-known proceedings which preceded the declaration of war; of the endeavors on the part of the United States government to bring about an amicable ending of the Cuban struggle, whereby the people might ^e tnade independent; of how Spain quibbled over the matter and virtually threw aside our well-meant overtures. The President then says: Grieved and disappointed at this barren outcome of my sincere end«avors to reach a practical solution, I felt it my duty to remit the whole question to the congress. In the message of April 11. 1898. I announced that with this last overture in the direction of immediate peace in Cuba,- and its disappointing- reception by Bpain, the effort ot the executive was brought to an end. I again reviewed the alternative course of action which I had proposed, concluding that the only one consonant with International policy and compatible with our firm-set historical traditions was Intervention as a neutral to stop the war and check the hopeless sacrifice of life, even though that resort Involved "hos- 1© constraint upon both the parties to the ntest, as well to enforce a truce as to Ide the eventual settlement." • • • ie response of the congress, after nine ,ys of earnest deliberation, during which e almost unanimous sentiment of your ly was developed on every point save to the expediency of coupling the pro- ,_jed action with a formal recognition of ;he republic of Cuba as the true and lawll government of that island—a propotlon which failed of adoption—the coness, after conference, on thel9th of April, iy a vote of 42 to 35 In the senate and 1 to 6 In the house of representatives, assed the memorable Joint resolution, rderlng forcible Intervention to stop the 1 This action led to the Spanish minister Withdrawing from Washington and also •t o giving United States Minister Woodford ' lis passports, thereby breaking off diplomatic relations between the two counfles, such as attends an actual state of war. The president at once proclaimed a >lockade of Cuba's coast, Issued a call or volunteers and recommended to conrress a formal declaration of the exisence of a state of war between the Unitisd^ tates and Spain. J , . . The congress accordingly voted on the same day the act approved April 25, 1898, declaring the existence of such war, from and Including the 21st day of April, and re-enacted the provision of the resolution of April 20. directing the president to use all the armed forces of the nation to carry that act into effect. • • • Our country thus, after an interval of half a century of peace with all nations, found Itself engaged In deadly conflict with a foreign enemy. Every nerve was strained to meet the emergency. The response to the Initial call for 125,000 volunteers was Instant and complete, as was also the reault of the second call of May 25, for 75,000 Additional volunteers. The ranks of the regular army were Increased to the limits provided by the act of April 26. The enlisted force of the navy on the 15th of August, when it reached its maximum, numbered 24,123 men and apprentices. It Is not within the province of this message to narrate the history of the extraordinary war that followed the Spanish declaration of April 21, but a brier recital of its most salient features ls appropriate. The first encounter of the war in point of date took place April 27, when a detachment of the blockading squadron made a reconnaissance in force at Matanzas. shelled the harbor forts and demolished several new works in construction. The next engagement was destined to mark a memorable epoch in maritime warfare. The Pacific fleet, under Commodore George Dewey. which had lain for several weeks at Hong Kong, proceeded to the Philippine Islands under orders to Capture or destroy the formidabel Spanish fleet then assembled at Manila. At daybreak on the 1st day of May the American force entered Manila bay and after a few hours' engagement effected the total destruction of the Spanish fleet, consisting of ten warships and a transport, besides capturing the naval station and forts of Cavite, thus annihilating the Spanish naval power in the Pacific ocean and completely controlling the bay of Manila with the ability to take the city at will. Not a life was lost on our ohfes, the wounded only numbering seven, while not a vessel was materially injured. For this gallant acbievesaent the congress, upon my recommendation, fitly bestowed <ipon the actors preferment atd substantial reward. Reinforcements were hurried to Manila under command of Mai- Gten. Merritt and firmly established within sight of the capital, which lay helpless toefore our guns. Other expeditions soon followed, tho total force consisting7of 641 -officers and V068 men. '. Following che comprehensive scheme of «enera) attack powerful foroes were as- «ombled at various points) on our coast to Invade Cuba and Porto Rtoo.

On May 13. the North Atlantio squadron shelled San Juan de Porto Rico. On May 80 Commodore Sohley's squadron bombarded the forts guarding the mouth of Santiago harbor. Neither attack had any material result. It was evident that well-ordered land operations were Indispensable to achieve a decisive advantage. The wonderful Journey of the Oregon from San Francisco around Cape Horn to Cuba: the heroic achievement of Hobson and seven volunteers who sank the collier Merrlmaxr under tremendous fire to bottle Cervera's fleet in Santiago harbor, and the landing of 600 marines at Guaivtanamo. are recounted by the president, who then comes to Shatter's Landing; in Cuba. On June 22 the advance of the Invading army, under Maj.-CJen. shatter, landed at Daiquiri, about fifteen miles east of Santiago. This was accomplished under great difficulties, but with marvelous diepatch. On June 23 the movement against Santiago was begun. On the 24th the first serious engagement took place, In whloh the First and Tenth cavalry and the First United States volunteer cavalry, Gen. Young's brigade of Gen. Wheeler's division, participated, losing heavily. By nightfall, however, ground within five miles of Santiago was won. The advantage was steadily increased. On July 1 a severe bettle took place, our forces gaining the outworks of Santiago; on the 2d El Coney and San Juan were taken after a desperate'efcarge, and the Investment of the dty was completed. The na_vy cq- ©pen&ted by shelling the town and the coast forts. Destruction of Cervera'i Fleet. On the day following this brilliant aUUeveineivt of our land forces, July 3,. occurred the decisive naval combat of the war. The evanish flaet, attempting to leave the harbor, was met by the American soi:a<lron under command of Commodore Sanpson. In less than ttirce hours all the Spanish ships were deatroytd, the two torpedo boats being sunk, and the Maria Teresa, Almlrnnte Cquendo, Viacaya and Cristobal Colon driven ushore. Tho Spanish admiral and over 1,3(W men were taken prisoners, while the enemy's loss of life was deplorably large, some 600 were killed. Although our ships were repeatedly struck not one was seriously injured. Tribute to Navy and Army. Where all so conspicuously distlngulshad thf mselves— frein the commanders to the gunners and the unnamed heroes in the boiler rooms—each nnd all contribtlnsr toward the achievement of this astounding victory, for which neither ancient nor modern history affords a parallel In the completeness of the event and ihe marvelous disproportion of casualties, it would be Invidious to single out any for especial honor. Deserved promotion has rewarded the more conspicuous actors— the nation's profoundest gratitude Is due to all those brave men who by iheir skill and devotion In a few Bhort hours crushed the sea power of Spain and wrought a triumph whose decisiveness and far-reaching consequences can scarcely be measured. With the catastrophe of Santiago Spain's effort upon the ocean virtually ceased. A spasmodic effort toward the end of June to send her Mediterranean fleet under Admiral Camara. to relievo Manila was abandoned, the expedition being recalled after it had passed through the Suex canal. The capitulation of Santiago followed. The Individual valor of officers and soldiers was never more strikingly shown than in the several engagements leading to the surrender of Santiago, while the prompt movements and successive victories won Instant and universal applause. To those who gained this complete triumph which established the ascendancy of the United State s upon land as the fight off Santiago had fixed our supremacy on the seas, the earnest and lasting gratitude of the nation is inspuringly due. Nor should we alone remember the gallantry of the living; the dead claim our tears, and our losses by battle and disease must cloud any exultation at the result and teach us to weigh the awful coat of war, however rightful the cause or signal the victory. Porto Rico is O n ». With the fall of Santiago, the occupa^ tIon of Porto Rico t>ecame~the nexntrateglc necessity. The campaign was prosecuted with great vigor, and by the 12th of August much of the Island was in our possession and the acquisition of the remainder wa« only a matter of a short time. At most of the points In the Island our troops were enthusiastically welcomed. Protestations of loyalty to the flag and gratitude for delivery from Spanish rule met our commanders at every stage. The last scene of the war was enacted at Manila, its starting place. On August 16, after a brief assault upon the works by the land forces, in which the squadron assisted, the capital surrendered unconditionally. Overtures of Peace . The annihilation of Admiral Cervera's fleet, followed by the capitulation of Santiago, having brought to the Spanish government a realizing sense of the hopelessness of continuing a struggle now becoming wholly unequal. It made overtures of peace through the French ambassador, who, with the assent of his government, had acted us the friendly representative of Spanish Interests during the war. The president here details the negotiations which led to the signing of the peace protocol and to the appointment «»fl the peace commission which Is now in session in Paris. The negotiations have made hopeful progress, BO that I truat soon to be able to lay a definite treaty of peace before the senate, with a review of the steps leading to its signature. Aa to Oar New Possessions. I do not discuss at this t'me the government or the future of the new possessions which will come to us as the result of the war with Spain. Such discussion will be Spropriate after the treaty of peace all have been ratified, in the meantime and until the congress has legislated otherwise, it will be my duty to continue the military government* which have existed since our occupation and government of the people, security In life and property, and encouragement und*»r a Just and beneficent rule. As soon as we are in possession of Cuba and have pacified the island, It will be necessary to give aid and direction to the people to form a government for themselves. This should be undertaken at the earliest moment consistent with safety and assured success. It Is important that our relations with these people shall be of the most friendly character and our commercial relations close and reciprocal, it should be our doty to asalst In every proper way to build up the waste places of the island, encourage the industry of the people and assist them to form a government wnicb shall be free and independent thus realising the best aspiration* of the Cuban people. Caaa for tk« Cabaas . Spanish rule must be replaced by a just, benevolent and humane government created by the people of Cuba, capable of performing all International obligations, and which •hal l encourage thrift, industry and prosperity, and promote peaoa and good will among all of the inhabitants, whatever may have been their relations m the past. Neither revenge nor passion should have a place in the new government. Until there is complete tranqullity m the island and a stable goverment inaugurated, military occupation will be rttiaued Other ( eenting; no serious obstacle to a juat and honorable solution by amicable agreement. The Nicaragua C«u«l Mos t "be Oars. The Nicaragua canal commission, under the chairmanship of Rear Admiral John G. Walker, has nearly completed its lubors, and the results of Us exhaustive inquiry into the proper route, the feasibility and the cost of construction of an Inter- oceanlc canal by a Nlcaraguan route will be laid before you. As the scope of recent Inquiry embraced the whole subject with the aim of making plans and surveys for a canal by the most convenient route, it necessarily included a review of the results of previous surveys and plans and in particular those adopted by the Maritime Canal company under Its existing concessions from Nicaragua and Costa Rica, so that to this extent those grants necessarily held an essential part In the deliberations and conclusions of the canal commission aa they have held, and must needs hold, in the discussion of the matter by the congress. Under these circumstances, and in view of overtures made to the governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica by other parties for a new canal concession predicated on the assumed approaching lapse of the contracts of the Maritime Canal company with those states, I have not hesitated to express my conviction that considerations of expediency and International policy as between the several governments interested In the construction and control of an inter-oceanic canal by this route require the maintenance of the status quo, until the canal commission shall have reported and the United State* congress ahall have had the opportunity to pass finally upon the whole matter during the present sesBlon, without prejudice by reason of any change in the existing conditions. Nevertheless it appears that the government of Nicaragua, aa one of its last sovereign acts before merging its powers in those of the newly formed United States of Central America, has granted an optional concession to another association, to become effective on the expiration of the present errant. It does not appear what surveys have been made or what route is proposed under this contingent grant, no that an examination of the feasibility of its plans is necessarily embraced In the report of thp canal commission. All theae circumstances suggest the urgency of gome definite action by the congress at this session if the labors of the past are to be utilized nnd the linking of the Atlantic and Pacific: oceans by a practical waterway is to be realized. That the construction of Buch n maritime highway is now more than ever indispensable to that intimate and ready intercommunication between our eastern and western seaboards demanded by the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands and the prospective expansion of our influence and commerce to Pacific and that our national policy, now more imperatively than ever, calls for Its control by this government,' are propositions which I doubt not the congress will duly appreciate and wisely act upon. We Are Interested la China. Too. The United States has not been an Indifferent spectator of the extraordinary events transpiring in the Chinese empire, whereby portions of its maritime provinces are passing under the control of various European powers; but the prospect that the vast commerce which the energy of our citizens and the necessity of our staple productions for Chinese uses has built up in those regions may not be prejudiced through any exclusive treatment by the new occupants, has obviated the need of our country becoming an actor in the scenes Our position among nations having a large Pacific coast, and a constantly expanding direct trade with the farther orient, gives us the equitable claim to consideration and friendly treatment in this regard, and it will be my aim to subserve our large Interests In that quarter by ajl means appropriate to the constant DOliey of our government. The territories of Kiao Chow, of Wei-Hal-Wel, and of Port Arthur and Tallen Wan, leased to Germany, Great Britain and Russia, respectively, for terms of years, will, it Is announced, be open to International commerce during such alien occupation; and if no discriminating treatment of American citizens and their trade be found to exist, or be hereafter developed, the desire of this government would appear to be realised. Meanwhile, there may be just ground for disquietude in view of the unrest and revival of the old sentiment of opposition and prejudice to alien people which pervades certain of the Chinese provinces. As in the case of the attacks upon our citizens in Szechuan and at Kutlcn, in 1885, the United States minister has been instructed to secure the fullest measure of protection, both local and imperial, for any menaced American interests and to demand, in case of lawless Injury to person or property, instant reparation appropriate to the case. Warships have been stationed at Tien Tsin tor more ready observation of disorders which have Invaded even the Chinese capital, so as to be in a position to act, should need arise, while a guard of marines has been sent to Pekln to afford the minister the same measure of authoritative protection as the representatives of other nations have been constrained to employ. Uncle Sam at the Parla Saovr. There is now every prospect that the participation of the United States in the universal exposition to be held in Paris In 1900. will be on a scale commensurate with the advanced position held by our products and industries in the world'* chief marts. Notwithstanding the comparatively limited area of the exposition site—less than one-half that of the world's fair at Chicago—the space assigned to the United States has been increased from the absolute allotment of 157,408 square feet reported by Mr. Handy, to some 202,000 square feet, with corresponding augmentation of the field for a truly characteristic representation of the various important branches of our country's development. J o a a ay Ball Is Our Friead. Our relations with Great Britain have continued on the.moat friendly footing. Assenting to our request, the protection of Americans and their interests in Spanish Jurisdiction was assumed by the diplomatic and consular representative* of Great Britain, who fulfilled their delicate and arduous trust with tact and seal. eliciting high commendation. I may be allowed to make fitting allusion to the Instance of Mr* Rameden. her majesty's consul at Santiago de Cuba, whose untimely death after distinguished service and untiring effort during the siege of that city was sincerely lamented. It wili give me especial satisfaction if I shall be authorised to communicate to you a favorable conclusion of the pending negotiations with Great Britain in respect to the Dominion of Canada. It is the earnest wish of this government to remove ail sources of discord and irritation In our relations with the neighboring dominion. The trade between the two countries is constantly Increasing, and it is important to both countries that ail reasonable facilities ahouM be granted for its development. Aaaexatioa e>f Hawaii. Pending the consideration by the senate of the treaty signed June 14 1887, by the plenipotentiaries of the United States and of the republic of Hawaii, providing for tbm annexation of the Islaoda, a joint resolution to accomplish the same purpose by accepting the offered cession and Incorporating the oeded territory into the union was adopted by the congress and approved July 11888. ^Pursuant to the terms of the joint resolution and in exercise of the authority thereby conferred upon me. I directed tliat the c4vn, judicial and military powers theretofore exercised by the officer* of the government of (lie republic of Hawaii should continue to be exercised by those officers until congress snail provide a government for the Incorporated territory subject to mr power to remove such ofloars an- d t-o_ fvlua canc"ies. Tbe Sdsnt. officers, and troops of the Tepubllo thereupon took, the oath of silaglano* to the Tufted States, thus providing for the uniru'irupted continuance of all the administrative and municipal functions of the annexed territory until congress shall otherwise enact. . Following the further provision of the joint resolution, I appointed oommlaatoiiera to confer and recommend to congress such legislation concerning the Hawaiian lslande as they shoula deem necessary or proper. The commissioners having fulfilled the mission confided to them, their report will be laid.before you at an early day. It is believed that their recommendations wlu have the earnest consideration due to the magnitude of the responsibility resting upon you to give such shape to the relationship of those mid-Pacific lands to bur home union as will benefit both in the highest degree, realising the aspirations of the community that has oast its lot with us and elected to share our political heritage, while at the same time, justifying the toregAwht ot those who for three-quarters of a century, have looked to the assimilation of Hawaii as a natural and inevitable consummation, In harmony with our needs and in fulfillment of our cherished traditions. Private Property in War. The experiences of the last year bring forcibly home to us a sense of the burdens and the waste of war. We desire In common with the most civillzad nations to reduce to the lowest possible point the damage sustained in time of war by peaceable trade and commerce. It is true that we may surfer in such cases less than other communities, but all nations are damaged more or less by the state of uneasiness and apprehension in which an outbreak of hostilities throws the entire commercial world. It should be our object, therefore, to minimize, so far as practicable, this inevitable loss and disturbance. This purpose can probably be best accomplished by an international agreement to regard all private property at sea exempt from capture or destruction by the forces of belligerent powers. The United States government has for many years advocated this humane and beneficent principle, and is now in position to recommend it to other powers without the imputation of selfish motives. I therefore suggest for your consideration that the executive be authorized to correspond with the governments of the principal maritime powers with a view of incorporating into the permanent law of civilized nations the principle of the exemption of all private property at sea. not contraband of war, from capture or destruction by belligerent powers. Currency Legislation. The provisions made for strengthening the resources of the treasury in connection with the war has given increased confidence in the purpose and power of the government to maintain the present standard and has established more firmly than ever the national credit at home and abroad. A marked evidence of this in found In the Inflow of gold to the treasury. Its net sold holdings on November 1, 1898. were $239,885,160 , as compared with 1153,673,14 7 on November 1,1897, and an increase of net cash of $207,756,100 , November 1, 1897, to $300,238,257 , November 1, 1898. The present ratio of net treasury gold outstanding government liabilities, including United States treasury notes of 1890 silver certiflcatee, currency certificates, standard silver dollars and fractional silver coin November 1, 1898. was 25.35 per cent, as compared with l&K per cent November 1, 1897. I renew so much of my recommendation of December, 189T, as follows: "That whenever any of the United States notes are presented for redemption in gold and are redeemed In gold, auch notes shall be kept and set apart and on'y paid out in exchange for gold. This is an obvious duty. If the holder of the United States note prefers the gold and gets It from the government, he should not receive back from the government a United States note without paying gold in exchange for It. The reason for th!a Ls made all the more apparent when the government Issues an interest-bearing debt to provide gold for the redemption of United States notes, a non-interestbearing debt. Surely it should not pay them out again, except on demand an.1 for gold. If they are put out in Any other way they may return again, to be followed by another bond l*aue io redeem them—another interest-bearing debt to redeem a non-Jnterest-bearing debt' . „ . mtMidatlon was "made Jn the belief that such provisions of law would Insure to a greater degree the safety of the present standard and better protect our currency from the dangers to which it is subjected from a disturbance In the general business conditions of the country. In n-.y judgment the present condition of Uie treasury justifies the Immediate enactment of legislation recommended one year ago under which a portion of the gold holdings should be placed in a trust find from which greenbacks should be redeeir.ed upon presentation, but when once redeemed should not thereafter be paid out except for gold. It is not to b« inferred that other legislation relating to our currency is not required; on the contrary there is an otvlous demand for it. The importance for adequate provision whloh will insure for our future a money standard related as our money standard now is to that of our commercial rivalo is generally recognized. The companion proposition that our Democratic paper currency shall be kept safe and yet be so related to the needs of our industries and our internal commerce as to be adequate and responsive to such needs ls a proposition scarcely less important. The subject, In all Its parts, is commended to the wise consideration of congress. Encourage American Shipping. The annexation of" Hawaii and the changed relations of the United States to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines resulting from the war compel the prompt adoption of a maritime policy by the United States. There should be established regular and frequent steamship communication, encouraged by the United States under the American flag, with t*>e newly acquired possessions. Spain furnished to its colonies, at &n annual cost of about $2,460,009 , steamship lines connecting with a portion of the world's markets as well as the trade centers of the home government. The United States will not undertake to do less. It is our duty to furnish the people of Hawaii with facilities under national control for their export and import trade. It will be conceded that the present situation calls for legislation whioh shall be prompt, durable and liberal. The part which American merchant vessels and their seamen performed in the war with SpatrrxleraonBtratee that this service, furnish Ing; both pickets and the second line of defense, is a national necessity, and should be encouraged in every constitutional way. Larger ftan«tasr Army KTeeaesl. Under the act of congress approved April M, 1898, authorising the president In his discretion, upon a declaration of war by congress, or a declaration by congress that war exists, I directed the increase of the regular army to the maximum of ttjOOO authorised in said act. There are now In the regular army 67.M1 oflcers and men. In saVd act It was provided "that at the end of any war in which the United States may become involved, the army shall be reduced to * peace basis by the transfer In the same arm of the service or absorption by promotion or honorable discharge under such regulations as the secretary of war may establish of supernumerary commissioned officers and the honorable discharge or transfer of supernumerary enlisted men and nothing contained In this sot shall be construed as authorising the permanent increase of the commissioned or enlisted force of the regular army beyond that now provided by the law in force prior to the passage of this act except as to the Increase of twentyfive majors provided for In section one hereof." The importance of legislation for the permanent increase of the army ls ther, fore manifest, and the recommendatlo; of the secretary of war for the pur has my unqualified approval. There . . be no question that at this time and pro' ably for some time la the future, I0O.C men wiH be nont too manv-Ao meet t" necessities of thsjtituat(po.?A< t all even whether that ntgnber •hai l be reqal: permanently ar pot, tlw powir should given the president to enlist that foros 1 in his dlscxetlanit should be necejMry, and the ' ^ h # . «r*<loi^Ueuld_J» glv<, en hiss tefoortilt within ttft «*Of* ttmlttf from the inhabitants of the Islands, off the* government of which we aro*charged. It Is my purpose to muster sut the entlr< volunteer army a*'soon as eongress shal provide for the Increase of the regulai establishment. This wllf be only an ac of justice and will be much appreciate* by the brave men who left their homes, and employment to help the country In its emergency. > Increase of tbe Navy. The following recommendations of the, secretary of the navy relative to the Increase of the navy have my earnest ap-, proval: ' • | 1—Three sea-going sheathed and cop-: pered bat-tresWps of about 13, W0 tons trial displacement, carrying the heaviest armor and rnovt powerful ordnance for veeaels of their class, and to have the highest practicable speed and great radiius of action.

' I Join with the secretary of the navy In recommending that the grades ot admiral and vice-admiral be temporarily rtvlved,' to be filled by officers who have specially distinguished themselves in the war with. Spain. \ Census and Pensions. I earnestly urge upon congress the Importance of early legislation providing for the taking of the twelfth census. This ls necessary in view of the large amount of work which must be performed in the preparation of the schedules preparatory to the enumeration of the population. There were on the pension rolls on June 30, 1898, 99$,714 names, an lncr«ase>of niarly 18,000 over the number on the rolls on the same day of the preceding year. The amount apppprpo priated byy tthee aacctt ooff DDeecember 22, -189«, for the payment of pensions for the fiscal year 1898 was $140,000,000. ' Eight million seventy thousand eight hundred and seventy-two dollars and fortysix cents was appropriated by the act of March 31. 1898, to cover deficiencies In army pensions and repayments in the sum of £12,020 S2, making a total of $148,082,- 892 79 available for the payment of pensions during the fiscal year 169S. The amount disbursed from that sum was $144,651,879 80, leaving a balance of $3,431,- 012 99 unexpended on the JOth ot June, 1898J which wag covered into the treasury. t There were 389 named added to the rolls1 during the year by special acts passed at • the second session of th« flfty-nfth congress, "making a total of 6,586 pensioners by congressional enactments since 1861. Patents and Public Lands. The total receipts of the patent offie* during the past year were $1,263,948 44. The expenditures were $1,081,633 79, leaving «. surplus of $172,314 65. The public lands disposed of by the government during the year reached 8,453.896 92 acres, an Increase of 614,780,16 acres over the previous year* The total receipts from public l&nda during the fiscal year amounted to $2,277,995 18. an Increase of $100.069 over the preceding year. The lands embraced in the 11 forest reservations which were suspended by the act of June 4, 1897,, again became subject to the operations of the proclamations of Pebuary 22, 1897, creating them, wmen added an estimated amount of 19,961,360 acres to the area em-, braced in the reserves previously created. In addition thereto two new reserves were created during the year—the Pine Mountain and Zaka lake reservation In California, embracing 1,644,594 acres and the Prescott reserve in Arisona, embracing 10,240 acres; while the PecoB river reserve in New Mexico has been changed and enlarged to include 120,000 additional acres. At the close of the year 30 forest reservations not including those of the Afognac forest and nsh culture reserve In Alaska, had been created by executive proclamations, embracing an estimated area of 40,719,474. Indians Shew/ Progress. The department of the Interior has inaugurated a forest system, made possible by the act of July, 1898, for a graded force of officers In control or the reserves. This system has only been In full operation since August, but good results have already been secured In many sections. The reports received Indicate that the system of patrol has not only prevented destructive fires from gaining headway, but has diminished the number of fires. The special attention of congress ls called to that part of the secretary of the interior's report In relation to clviliaed tribes. It Is noteworthy that the general condition of the Indians shows marked progress. I cannot too strongly Indorse the recommendation of the secretary of the interior for the necessity of providing fer the education of the 90*00 whit* ehlld* an Resident in the Indian Territory. Aa-rteultare. The department of agriculture has been active In the past year. Explorers have been sent to many of the countries of the eastern and western hemispheres for seeds and plants that may be useful to the United States, and with the farther view of opening up markets for «ur surplus products.

A confirmed stutterer went Into a restaurant and met a few casual acquaintances, who at once commenced chaffing him most unmercifully respecting the impediment in his speech. At last one of them, a pert little fellow who had been making himself rather conspicuous by his remarks, said: "Well, old man, I'll bet suppers ruuuu yon c a m order them witnout stammering." "D-d-d-done," says Brown, and to the astonishment of the company and the discomfort of his challenger (all of whom were unaware of his being, as is often the case with stutterers, a first-class singer), he beckoned the waiter, and saug the order without the slightest hitch. Then, turning round to his little tormentor, said: "N-n-n-nw, y-y-y-you c-c-c-caa p-p-p-pay." IKDB ili THE IBBH News of the Day as Told Over the Sleoder Wires. DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN NEWS S u o n n o u lucres** In Oar Export* and Large Decrease In Onr Import*— IJalitme of Trade With All Countries Greatly In Our Favor. The report ot Secretary ot the Treasury Gag-e shows that our foreign commerce of the fiscal year 1808 in many respects have been phenomenal. The exportation^ of the products of both field and factory exceeded in value those of any preceding year, and the grand total of exports was the largest ever recorded—averaging more than 5100,- 000,000 per month, the total being Sl.:.'31,4Fiy.;J30, against 81,050,993,556 in 189? and $1.030,278,148 in 1892. The value of agricultural products exported was $Sf>.Vi83.r>70, surpassing by $54,- 35n,338 the highest record, that of 1892. Our mimufa(turc-rs also Juaxle their highest record, 8200,097,354, against 3277.28.V391 in the preceding year. For tfce first time also in the history of our foreign commerce, the exports of d o rrji'stiy manufactures were greater than Uie imports of foreign manufactures, while the total exports, of the year were twice as jjreat as the total imports— a condition heretofore unknown. Nearly all branches of the great manufacturing industries shared in this increase, particularly manufactures of iron and steel, leather, boots and shoes, and mineral oils. Nearly all classes of the great agricultural products ma;!e the'r highest record of exports in the past year. The prices realized on nearly all important articles of export were higher than in the procetling year. "In importations, the year has shown an equally remarkable record, the value of foreign imports being less than in any previous year, with a single exception, 1880, though the population has increased 50 per cent frince that time. The total imports were but 5616,049.1554 in value, against 8764,730,-' 412 in the preceding year, aud $779,- 724,G?M a year earlier.

This satisfactory condition of our foreign trade extended to our commerce with practically every nation. Our sales to Europe alone increased 8160,420,601, while our purchases from that section of the globe decreased 8124,258.514; and to all the great divisions, except Oeeanica, there was-an increased sale, and from all, except Asia and Oeeanica, decreased imports. Our exports to Asia show a gratifying gain, those of 1S9S having been 844,707,791. against $25,630,029 in 1896 and $11,645,- 703 in 1880, thus having quadrupled since 1880, and nearly doubled within two years. Beport of Hawaiian Commissioner*. President McKinley has handed to congress the report of the Hawaiian commission together with three bills drawn by the commission for the government of the islands as a part of the United States. The principal one provides for the erection of the islands into a territory of the United States to be styled the territory of Hawaii. A governor, secretary of territory, U. S. district judge, a U. S. district attorney and a U. S. marshal are to be appointed by the President, and an internal revenue district and a customs district are to be created. Section 4 provides that "all white persona, including Portuguese and persons of African descent, and all persons descended from the Hawaiian race, on either the paternal or maternal side, who were citizens of the republic of Hawaii immediately prior to the transfer of the sovereignty thereof to the United States, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States."* Provision is made for a legislature to consist of two houses—a senate of 15 members, and a house of representatives with 30 members. These are to be elected biennially. Voters for representatives must be male citizens, 21 years of age and of one yefcr's residence in the territory, most have paid all taxes due tlu» government, and must be able to read and write the English or Hawaiian language. To be qualified to vote for senators he must, in addition to the above, own $1,000 worth of real property upon which the taxes have been paid, or must have on income of not leas $600 per year. The bill provides for the election of a delegate to U. S. house of representative*, and alao provides that the con* •titution and laws of the U. & locally applicable shall have the same force in the territory of Hawaii as elsewhere in the United State* CONQRESS AT WORK AGAIN. Heeoad Hesslon of the 66th Congress 4a»ptekra*ly Opened. With immense crowds filling the galleries and the desks of the members of both houses loaded with flowers the opening of the second session of the 55th congress was almost a gala event. The diplomatic gallery of the senate was filled with the repre^antatives of the various foreign governments and on the floor was Lord Herschell, the chief representative of Great Britain on the joint high commission, accompanied by T. Jefferson Coolidge, of Massachusetts, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Richard Cortwright, Sir Louis Davies and Mr, Charlton, members of the commission. Vice-president Hobart's gavel sounded for order promptly at noon and Rev. Mr. Milburn, the venerable blind chaplain of the senate, offered an impressive prayer. A call of the senate developed the presence of 67 members. After the usual preliminaries the President's message was read and soon afterward the Senate adjourned. HOUSK. — Speaker Reed opened the House promptly with 2G7 members present. Tin; entrance of Maj.-Gen. Wheeler, of Alabama, was the occasion of a remarkable demonstration. After the reading of the President's message Rep. Cousins, of Iowa, introduced the first bill of the session, "declaring the standard of value in the United States," and providing that the standard of value in the United States is hereby declared to be and is the standard gold dollar of 2H 8-10 grains of standard gold 900 tine. Rep. Sulzer, of New York, ranking Democratic member of the house committee on military affairs, has introduced a resolution ''authorizing and directing the committee on military affairs to investigate the war department and the conduct of the Spanish- American war." Gen, Wheeler, of Alabama, introduced a resolution providing that in "recognition of the patriotic devotion aud bounteous benevolence of Miss Helen Miller Gould to the soldiers of the army of the United States during the war with Spain, the thanks of congress are hereby tendered her and congress hereby authorizes and directs that a gold mrdal with appropriate designs be prey>ared by the director of the mint raid that said medal be presented to her by the President of the United States. During1 the second day's session Senator Vest, of Missouri, opened the bat tie in opposition to expansion by introducing the following joint resolution: "That under the constitution of the United States, no p >\wr is given t o the federal government to acquire territory to be held and governed permanently as coionie.s. Tiu» colonial system of European nations cannot be esnn< 1f>r P"r pr*'*'*-"*' rnnstitnf CONGRESSIONAL NEWS. During the consideration of pension bills Senator Vest (Mo.) protested against the rushing of such bills through the senate when there was not a quorum present and with only the title being read. He was willing to pay munificently and liberally in pensions, but insisted that these bills should receive proper consideration. Mr. Galiinger (N. H.). chairman of the senate pension committee, agreed with Mr. Vest. Senator McCaffrey (La.) introduced a resolution requesting the President to enter into negotiations with Great Britain for the purpose of modifying the Clay ton-Bulwer, trea'y in so far as it interferes with the Lnited States onstructing, owning or controlling an inter-oceanic canal across the isthmus of Darien. Senator Vest introduced a resolution providing for the appointment of a joint commission composed of three senators and five members of the aottae, to investigate the charges of corruption in the conduct of the war with Spain. The urgent deficiency bill to provide for the support of the military and naval establishments was passed by the house practically without opposition. There was not a word of criticism of the war during the debate. The anti-scalping bill passed by the house was laid on the table in the senate, a similar bill having already been reported by the interstate commerce committee. TUMOR EXPELLED. Unqualified Success of Lydla M Pinkham'8 Vegetable Compound*' 81,250,000 Fire In New York. In a blinding rainstorm the massive block of buildings on Broadway, Nos. 253 to 259, befween Murray and Warren streets. New York City, was almost destroyed by fire, which began in the five-story brick building occupied by the men's furnishing firm of Rogers, Peet & Co., on the southwest corner of Broadway and Warren street. Adjoining the Rogers-Feet building and south of it was the magnificent 16-story building of the Home Life Insurance Co., and next to this was the 14-story brownstone building of the Postal Telegraph Co. The three buildings were practically destroyed. The loss will foot up.SI,250,000. Mrs. EUZABKTH WBXVLOCK, Magnolia, Iowa, in the following letter describes her recovery from a very critical condition: " DEAB MBS. PUT-SHAM:—-1 have been taking your Vegetable Compound, and am now ready to sound its praises. I t has done wonders for me in relieving me of a tumor. "My health has been poor forthree years. Change of life was working upon me. I was very much bloated and was a burden to myself. Was troubled with smothering spells, also palpitation of the heart and that bearing-down feeling, and could not be on my feet much. "I was growing worse all the time, until I took your medicine. "After taking three boxes of Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound Lozenges, the tumor passed from me. "My health has been better ever since*-can now walk quite a distance and am troubled no more with palpitation of the heart or bloating. I recommend your medicine to all sufferers from female troubles." It is hardly reasonable to suppose that any one can doubt the efficiency of M^s.

Navigation laws were briefly discussed and then the Senate adjourned. HOUSE.— A session of half an hour wns held, at which the deficiency bill carrying" the extraordinary expenses of the army and navy from Jan, 1 to July 1,1899 was reported. The report?of the Hawaiian commission was laid before the house and referred, together with bills offered by Mr. Hitt to carry out the recommendations of the commission. ' THE NEWS CONDENSED. A canvass of the senate shows 02 Senator Hoar precipitated a lengthy debate when he opposed the appointment by the President of senators as members of commissions whose acts would have to be passed upon by the senate. The confirmation of the appointment of the Hawaiian commissioners was under discussion at the time, and the matter was finally referred to the judiciary committee, with instructions to investigate and report. The house passed the anti-ticket scalping bill by a vote of 119 to 101. Congressman Corliss made a warm fight and two speeches for his amend* ment to prevent railroads themselves from continuing the scalping business after the law takes away that business from the scalpers now conducting it, but was knocked out. Rep. Hull, chairman of the house committee on military affairs, introduced a bill increasing* the regular army to approximately 100,000 men. The bill was framed at the war department and is not the bill framed bv Gen. Miles. It gives a total of 14 regiments of artillery, 12 of cavalry and 30 of infantry. « {Senator Morrill presented a petition from the legislature of Vermont, asking* for the revival of the grade of admiral, and recognition of Rear Admiral Dewey. Mr. Hale presented a bill to revive the grades of admiral and viceadmiral. Rep. Todd, of Michigan, introduced •v resolution tendering the thanks ot congress to the officers and men of the North Atlantic squadron and the army of Cab* invasion for the meritorious service performed by them. Congressman Corliss introduced in the house the bill providing for the erection of a bridge across the Detroit river. Senator-McMillan baa presented JH bjll t b senators in line for the ratification of the Spanish-American peace treaty. Premier Sagasta is reported to have said that if the United Statas insist upon Spain paying the Cuban and Phil« ippine debts she will honor her signature to the extent of her resources. Attorney-General Grigrgs" annual report says that the war revenue act has been productive of many doubtful (questions and suggests that congress correct defects and inequalities which the department of justice has found to exist. Great Britain has begun operations to make Jamaica another Gibraltar in order to give her a share in the control of the Nicaragua canal. The largest dock yard in the world will be constructed at Kingston and immense naval depots established. The U. S.-Canadian commission is nearin^- the end of its negotiations. But it is feared the reciprocity features will i*.event an agreement. The Americans have made a proposition showing what concessions they can make, but it is said to fall short of what the Canadians expected*. The latter will offer counter propositions and on these the work of the commission must rest or fall. It is expected that the lumber schedule will be the principal point of difference. P,ENS!ONS.

The machine is now on expedition in Cleveland and is attracting much attention. It is the result of 19 years labor and experiment. Needles are cut from annealed steel wire and finished complete by tlie machine. Under ! the present system needles are made mostly by hand in Europe, and during the process it is necessary for each needle to go through 18 different hands. The machine is composd of three turrets, two containing 12 and the other 18 clutches for holding the needles in different positions during the process of completionj The wire is drawn into the machine and cut. IA clutch carries the piece to a device which stamps it for the eye. It is.then automatically moved to a larger device which enlarges the impression and punches the eye. Ail the subsequent processes are iu turn performed mechanically, such as grinding, polishing, buffing and straiulii ing, ect. The inventor is organizing a company for the installation of a \ needle and Cleveland is likely to j have an important new industry added to tbe roll. p . . c:. a • b--W''i at-', through iht $ptfdily cure b , tornid liver and ccjstijation.

Doings of the Week Recorded in a Brief Style, CONCISE AND INTERESTING. 8ojr»r B«et Contract* Being Made With Far w e n Which are Not According to the Bounty Law—A Severe Snow Storm Cause* Much Lots. About Sujrar Be«t Contract*. Land Commissioner French, who is charged with the enforcement of the beet sugar law passed by the legislature of 1897, finds that contracts which parties are making with the farmers of Monroe and Oakland and adjoining counties, for the growing of sugar beets, are not according to that law, which offers a bounty of one cent a pound upon all sugar manufactured in Michigan from beets grown in the state. Thut law provides that "the manufacturer shull produce good and sufficient receipts and vouchers to show that at least $4 per ton of 2,000 pounds has aetually been paid for all beets purchased, containing 12 per cent of sugar," and "a sum proportionate to that amount for all beets containing a greater or less per cent of sugar." The law makes no discrimination us to the co-efficient purity of beets. The same price is paid for beets with a co-effi cient of purity of T5 as for those of a purity of 85, should the per cent of sugar be the same but prices set forth in the contract spoken of are on a basis of coefficient purity and are much less than the price required by law, and the state will not pay an3T bounty upon sugar manufactured from beets secured under such a contract and paid for accordingly. This contract also provides that farmers must accept the I tests of the factory expert as final, but the law says that the state land commissioner shall appoint suitable weighmen and inspectors and assistants. The air Is filled with rumors cf wars. They come thick and fast, but they are only rumors, after all, and are not to be given full credit. War is such an expensive luxury that the contemplation of the necessary expenditure gives those in authority a most c6mmendable spirit of hesitation. For that reason pay but little attention to the rumors. Wait for the cannons opening roar. During the war many men went to Cuba to kill their fellow-men. Those ^wrhft HiH'H'ilnl .iir arrMimcrt m hrmiL^ After the war Colonel Waring went to Cuba to save his fellow-men from death, by combating and destroying the plague that has long ravaged that island, and In the performance of that duty he fell victim to the plague and died. Surely he, too, is to be deemed, in the highest sense, a hero and a martyr. A Boston circular says: "About 2,- 000,000,000 bu of corn are of late years consumed In this country, 1,000,000,000 bn of which is fed to meat-producing animals, 600,000,000 bu to working animals, 200,000,000 bu for human food, and 200,000,000 bu for seed, for distilling and other purposes. Expert authorities claim that the quantity fed to animals the past crop year was largely increased by reason of the protracted drouth last fall and resultant loss of pasturage, and that the quantity used for human food was also much greater by reason of the abnormally high price of wheat and flour." A simple remedy for too much flesh lias been suggested by Doctor Cathell of Baltimore, and if it is as effective as it Is simple no one will have any excuse for being too fat It consists in nothing more than drinking a glass of artificial Kissingen water after each meal one day7 and a 'glass of artificial Vichy water after each meal the next day, and so alternately until a desired degree of thinness has beam secured. The diet should be simple, starchy foods and sweets being eschewed in great measure. This treatment can evidently do s o harm, beyond causing disappointment if it should faiL Oleomargerlne Law Knocked Out. In an unanimous opinion written by Justice Hooker, the supreme court holds the oleomargerinc law to be invalid. i The merits of the law are not discussed in the opinion, the court simply holding that the law is defective inasmuch as the legislative journals show that it was without an enacting clause when it passed the senate, and that the house failed to remedy this defect. This clause was inserted previous to the signing of the bill by the governor, and the attorney-general urged that this was a sufficient compliance with The~CDnKtittrtion^ -This -contention., is denied by the court, on the ground that the constitutional provision is not merely directory, no part of the legislative power being vested in the governor. The court says: "It will be much better that the legislature shall correct its mistake than that the courts shall sanction the irregular correction in this case." The court's reference to the legislature correcting its mistake is taken as an indication that it believes the law is otherwise constitutional. Startling Finding In Election Kccoaut. In recounting the vote for county treasurer in Saginaw some glaring errors have been turned upon which greatly affect other candidates, including those for the legislature. When the 13th ward was reached, a peculiar condition of affairs was disclosed. While the ward was entitled to 738 votes, 753 were cast. The recount according to this tally losses 39 for H. M. Schmidt, Democrat, nominee for representative from the First Saginaw district, who on the face of the returns has a majority of six over Gardner the Republican nominee. Gardner will therefore contest Schmidt's election. V A new market for American wheat Is opening in Japan. During 1895 that country imported from the United States 484,510 pounds of wheatln 1896 the Imports of wheat from the Unked States amounted to 2,461,689 pounds. The amount increased In 1897 to 12,- 467,466 pounds. Some wheat was received from other countries, but the amount received from the United States was greater than from all other countries combined. Corea is our great* egt rival in this trade, her exports to Japan last year being about two-thirds those of the United States. We also ^nd flour to Japan, the amount for each of the two latter years being over 81,000,000 pounds. In 1895 the amount was only about 13,000,000 pounds. Japan Imported flour also from Great Britain, British America, Australia, China, Hongkong and other countries, but the total Imports from all of them combined was less than 1.000,000 potmdi. We hare a clear advantage tkesm all in this respect. In the Grip of Kin* Storm. What was undoubtedly the worst snow storm Michigan has experienced in several years swept over the southeastern portion of the state on its way west from New York, Ohio and through Canada. Probably the greatest damage was caused by the destruction of telegraph and telephone connections and the delay of trains, many of the latter becoming stalled. At Detroit street railway business was paralyzed and over 5,000 telephones rendered useless. Telegraphic • communication was cut off from the entire outside world. • "Bible Bstdlaffs". la the Schools. In a case appealed from the Wayne circuit court—which granted an order compelling the board of education of Detroit to discontinue the use of "Bible Readings" in the public schools—the supreme court reversed the order, declaring that the use of such book is not unconstitutional. The court says the precise question Involved is not whether the pupil can be compelled to attend religious exercises, nor necessarily whether the reading o1 the Uible or an extract from it constitutes a teaching of religion or amounts to a restriction of civil or political rights or privileges of such students as do not care to attend upon the exercises, fhe conclusion of the court after a review of the authorities and laws is that the reading of extracts from the Bible without comment, is not in violation of any constitutional provision. Justice Hooker wrote the decision and only Justice Moore dissente'l. Silver Dollars are Legal Tender. About a year ago Frod A. Baker, of Detroit, refused to accept 3(14 silver dollars from Stephen Baldwin, of Pontiac, in payment of n mortgage. Baker took steps to foreclose the mortgage and Baldwin filed a bill in chancery in the Oakland circuit court asking that the mortgage be discharged since he had tendered the payment to Baker. The latter contended that the congress of the United States hud treated silver as a desoredited and debased metal and that the money offered by Baldwin was, therefore,.not a legal tender. Judge Smith decided that the tender of the silver in payment for the mortgage was good and accordingly ordered the mortgage discharged as paid. The case will be appealed to the supreme court of Michigan and from there it is expected that it will go to the U. S. supreme court. Express Companies Muat Pay War Tax. The Michigan supreme court has decided the case brought by Attv.-Gen. Maynard on the relation of numerous Detroit merchants and manufacturers, against the American Kxpress Co., to compel the company to pay for the U. S. revenue stamp attached to shipping receipts. The Wayne circuit court granted such a mandamus and the company appealed to the higher court, where the case was elaborately argued. The main question in the case related to the construction to be placed upon the revenue act, and the court concluded that as the shipper has nothing to do with issuing the receipt, it was the clear intent of the law that the company shall tfive such a receipt as will bring the government the revenue provided, and therefore the company must pay the tax.

BY HENRY W. NESFIELD. CHAPTER XIII. A few hour* afterward the coach came lumbering up to Sullivan's door, where William Luke was standing, Anxiously watching for Its coming. Directly the driver descended from the box, he seized him by the arm. "Good evening, Sam," he exclaimed. "There Is something I very much wish to ask of you." "Well, go ahead, mate; we have only ten minutes to liquor up in." "I will liquor you up more than you can drink in the next fortnight," cried Luke, "if you tell me truly what I -want to know," t'What is it? Blaze away I" "Did you or did you not, on the night I traveled up with you here, bring a letter to Tom Baynes, the cook 4t Redmount?" "I—I bring a letter to Tom Baynes?" echoed the man, pausing for a moment to consider. "No; that I certainly did not. Who says as I did?" "Then it's false!" screamed Luke. "He had no such letter calling him away; and there was some reason for his fearing to meet me face to face!" . . . . • . • • • "It certainly is very odd," admitted Mr. Hall to Luke, when he presented himself again the next morning at the station. "And you say that the driver, Sam Jdnes, positively denies having brought up a letter for Baynes on that night?" "Yes, sir," replied Luke, "on that or any other occasion." "Well, Baynes must have told me a lie, for I remember distinctly his saying the driver; and there was no one among the passengers whom he was likely to have known.** "No; they all went on to Mount Gipps." "You are certain?" "Quite certain. I was the only one who stayed behind at Sullivan's." "Then I must own it begins to look frery mysterious," said Mr. Hall. "I think you have some grounds for your suspicions after all." "Thank you for saying that, sir," returned Luke. "I have felt that you must think me quite mad upon the subject; but I cannot help it. There is something in me which seems to urge me on. I don't know what it is, but, whatever it may be, it has been strong enough to drink; and e tnhaabt leis nwa«h atot Ik eheapv ef rnoomt thhaed the pluck to do this many a Jay." "Then nurse the feeling," said Mr. Hall. "If it keeps its hold upon you It will bring you more good than all the discoveries you may make, or eren the one thousand pounds reward." "I feel that, sir; and with Heaven's help I'll never touch another drop." "Amen to that!" cried Mr. Hall. "Whatever searches you may wish to make, Luke," he continued, "you are at perfect liberty to make them at your leisure on and about the station; bat I fear you will find nothing by which you will trace your brother. We searched every cook and corner." "Would you think it a liberty, sir, if I were to ask of you rather a strange favor?" "Not at all. What Is it?" "It is permission for me to occupy Baynes' hut" "Certainly—why not? But what teems much more to the point to me is the advisability of telegraphing to Sydney and throughout the country to detain Tom Baynes and his wife. A* a Justice of the peace I can have him arrested upon suspicion of having been concerned In the disappearance of your brother. Ton can then see the man. If your suspicions prove incorrect, very well.. We shall all fee! more saUafied, at any rate." Accordingly Mr. Hall despatched telegrams to Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, and a number of other places thjroufh which he thought Baynes would have probably passed. Meanwhile Loire took poeieasioa of the Baynes' hut The place was very much In the •arne itate at when It had been laat oooupied. The charred Iocs remained upon the hearth, and the furniture— If the bedstead, table, and two benches coeM be called furniture—wat there just as it bad teen left. William Luke retired early from the goaatp of the men's hut He wat tired of hearing the same old stories of how lira. Baynes had lived In rigid tecln- •Ion, a*d what a capital mate Tom Baynes baa been. A roU of blankets had been given out to him from the •ton; and, aa ho eater** tin hot, h# a oao*le *uG surveyed the It was quite a warm pfgb* but be o%lvar»d at ha looked arotuua, A omall heap of brushwood lay in one corner by the chimney, so he thought he would light a fire. Kneeling down, he removed the logs which were there, charred in the center, just as the flame had died out and smothed the white ashes away with his hand to make room for the dry scrub. Again be shivered, feeling a strange chilling sensation as though some awful thing were about to happen to him. "It's the drink," he said aloud. "I thought I had got over it. Maybe I haven't yet. I am nervous—that's what's the matter with me." Outside the hut was a pile of chop* ped wood; so, carrying some within, he soon made a cheerful blaze. Then, having drawn one of the wooden stools close up to the fireplace, he sat down and commenced to smoke. His thoughts flew rapidly back over all the strange incidents of the past two years of his life. It seemed as though It were but yesterday that he entered the service of old Mr. Hughes at Froylea. All the good Intentions and resolutions which he had then formed came vividly before his mind— how earnestly he had determined to give up the drink, and how honestly he had meant to lead a new life. Then he thought how small were the trials over which he fell—an old man's temper and crotchety ways, the every-day worries of most servants' lives. Have not all servants, he reflected, to fit themselves in, as it were, to their employers' ways and habits? Is it not a part of their servitude to try to study their master's little foibles! And then do they not have certain advantages? Are they not as a class totally emancipated from all the responsibilities of life which fall, as a rule, to the share of the smallest householder? What are taxes, Queen's or parochial, gas or water rates, to the average domestic servant? Their anxiety concerning these things begins and ends In carrying the unwelcome documents relating thereto upstairs. What does it signify to. them whether coals are nineteen shillings or twenty-five shillings per ton? The English servant can rest with a tranquil mind, undisturbed by visions of blue slips of paper threatening distraint unless certain moneys due to her Majesty's government, are paid before a particular date. Not pjaly_ is a servant a perfectly Irresponsible person, so far as all such matters are concerned, but he can exact as much civility from his employer for the time being as his employer cac from him. These thoughts flowed through Luke's mind as he gazed into the blazing log-fire, and they caused hi<t to wonder at his own folly at not having had the sense to know when he was well and comfortably provided for. At Ia3t, reusing himself from his revert* with a shrug of the shoulders, he thivw another log or two upon the fire. Then he pulled out his watch. Only half-past nine! How slowly the evening had gone! He could hear the noise of voices and laughter down in the men's huts. They, at any rate, seemed to be free from care. And again his thoughts wandered back to the day when his great trouble fell upon him. Why should he, of all men, have been chosen to bear such tribulation? Other men had been given to drink, and had continued in their sottish ways until death had claimed them for its own. Other men? Ay, and gentlemen bred and born, thousands upon thousands of them, yet they had not suffered as he had suffered. Oh, why should be, of all men, be singled out for such fearful punishment on account of this widely-prevailing human weakness? How many men had he not known who were perfect slaves to the vice? Even in hit boyhood, when a page, he had grown accustomed to seeing his young matters come home the worse for drink. Then, by hearing each incident*, laughed at and spoken lightly about, he had grown to regard them as matters of course. "Wasn't Master Charles precious tipsy last night? A good Job for him the missus didn't tee him!" Such remarks had often been made by hit fellows In the servant*' hall; and to hit half-educated mind it teemed from the way people spoke about it that it wat rather a grand thing to get tipsy, and that the man who took kindly to hit liquor waa by no meant a fool. CHAPTER XIV. And so. as he grew in yeart, drinking became a confirmed habit in him. By-and-by he found it wat almost a neoettity. Until he had stimulated himself for the day lie was wretched and almost incapable of attending to k<)) duties. By night he was generally ift» toxicated; and on such a night, while sleeping off the fumes of his intemperance, he had fallen a victim to that horrible accusation. The noise of the men in the huts had ceased. A great stillness teemed to have set in, and the very silence roused Luke to the fact that he had yet to go to bed. Having piled more wood upon the fire, he proceeded to make himself comfortable for the night Upon the wooden bunk or bedstead, which had been made with rough planks and uprights driven into the earth, there was an ample supply of dry fern and heather which had served at a mattress for the previous occupants of the hut. This Luke had proceeded to shake up, so as to render it more comfortable, for it was hard and closely pressed from being in use for some time. In doing so, he suddenly started back. What was that at the head of the bed? A snake? Seizing a stick, he advanced carefully, holding the candle in his left hand. No, it was no snake. It was a piece of leather—a broken waist-bait. Taking It up, he carefully examined it; and, upon the inside, he beheld, plainly marked In ink," R. L.," the intiiala of his brother. How had it come there? Bob Luke had been in the hut then, and the belt had been broken probably in a struggle. Whatever had been done with his body, supposing him to have been murdered, and the things he had upon him seemed as great a mystery to Luke as ever; but this piece of belt had no doubt been overlooked by his. assailants, and there it seemed as a witness against them. Luke searched carefully amongst the fern for some additional evidence, but could find nothing. At last, worn out with thinking, he lay down and fell asleep. For five or six hours the weary man slept soundly. The fire had burned down to a few smouldering logs, and the tallow dip which he had left alight had long since expired. The morning breeze blew keenly through the crevices of the slab walls, though the sun had not yet risen, when William Luke moved painfully in his sleep. Then he commenced to struggle and cry out strange things. Whatever his dreams may have been they caused him to clutch and tear at the sides of the bunk and strike out wildly in the air, while beads of perspiration— silent proofs of his mind's agony—bedewed his distorted features. At length, as if his soul could bear the torture no longer, he leaped from the bed with a yell and shouted, "Yes, Bob—what is it? Here I am. What was it that you said?" Th»n he became quite awake. He struck a match and lighted another candle. Seeing no one in the hut, listened; but he heard nothing. Still vividly impressed with the idea that he had heard hi* brother's voice, he opened the door, and looked all around outside. No one was there. Several times he called out— "Halloa, Bob! Bob Luke! It's me— Bill—your brother Bill! Do you hear ?' • No answer came. At last he went back Into the hut and sat down to wait for day-light. In vain he tried to remember what it was he had dreamed, but all he could recall was that he had hear hi* brother's voice calling out for help.

Passionate Desire to Live, Act and Enjoy Wlthomt late rmlMloo. I beg to insist for a moment upon the childlike nature of Daudet's character, says Pall Mall Gazette. It is true that everything seems to have bees said in praise of Daudet All the fount of eulogy have been exhausted in enumerating his great and luxninout Qualities. But I hare not teen noted in any of the studiet of the novelist this striking feature of hit character. Daudet wat a child, a marvelous child, exceptionally gifted and possessing all the beautiful and adorable qualities of childhood—confidence, generosity, feverish imagination and a pantignttfi desire to lire, to act to enjoy, without lntermletkm or ceatatiom. And to the end of hit life, although riveted to hit armchair, Daudet gave the beat advice, showed ua how ardent wat hit passion for justice and humility, and made us share with him the joy of living by ideat. If I iaaltt upon this childlike nature of Dander* character it it became I ataigm to this trait the place of honor; It it to the artleas nataret, to children and to enthusiasts that we owe all great pxogroat, splendid Ideat, marvelous invention*, generous and charitable impulse*.

One hears from time to time such wild shots as to the income* of different members of the English royal family that a few reliable figures are never without interest The duke of Edinburgh, for instance, whose financial affairs have so often been made the subject of gossip, had an allowance of $7£,- 000 a year on attaining his majority, and another $60,000 a year on his marriage, but he voluntarily ceded this latter Item on succeeding to the duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. The duohess of Edinburgh brought her husband a dowry of $1,500,000 and an annuity of $56,250, which goes to her children at her death.
