A Craij JTarmer'i Terrible Deed. A farm hand named Walter Hitching* butchered three people on the farm of Wm. Hunt, two miles west of Free Soil, Manistee county, with an ax and a knife. The murderer afterwards cut his own throat. The dead are: Wm. Hunt, Mrs. Hunt, Thomas Hayward, a hired boy, and Walter Hitchings. There are no living witnesses of the awful tragedy, but the story ia told by surrounding circumstances, llitchings was known to be slightly demented, but he was never Very violent although quick tempered. He was a brother of Mrs. Hunt and made his winter home with the farmer. Hayward was 15 years old. The three men started out to cut wood, and it is evident that they had not long been at work when Hitchings was seized with an insane desire to kill, and raibiui*- his ax he Drought the sharp blade down on Hunt's head, cutting the skull open. Young Hayward turned iind ran in terror, but stumbled and fell and the madman was upon him in an instant and crushed his skull at a blow. The two died almost instantly. Hitchings returned to Hunt's body and dragged It to a brush heap where he carefully covered it up, but Hay ward's body was only partially hidden. - The insane man then ran hastily to the bouse, grabbed his sister and with a big, dull jack knife terribly , -slashed and cut her in several places before he succeeded in cutting her throat That the poor woman made a desperate fight for her life was evident, but her strength failed. The murderer made two gaping wounds in the back of her head, from which the brains oozed and then pushed the body under the bed. He then went up stairs and tried to cut his throat with the jack knife, but it was too dull so, with blood flowing from his hacked neck, he began to search for a razor. At this point Mrs. Kritzen, a Polish neighbor, and Hunt's eight-year-old daughter, ran over in response to Mrs. Hunt's screams. Hitchings started at the wotman, brandishing the bloody knife, and she caught up the one-year-old baby from the floor and ran out, slamming the door behind her, and fled to her borne with the children. By the time help has been called and reached Hunt's, home Hitching*} had completed his awful work and lay at the foot of stairs with his throat cut from to ear, and a bloody razor beside h-iemar.- Hunt lived with his second wife, who was a sister of his first. A son by the first wife, aged 18, lives near Seattle, Wash., and another, aged 20, was at work at Millerton at the time of the •tragedy.

In a lengthy speech Mr. Vest said thai i\ waa a basic principle of this government that "the powers of the government were derived from the consent of the governed," and maintained that the federal government had no authority either in morals or in the constitution to go beyond that principle, Senator Platt (Rep., Conn.) opposed Mr. Vest and said that at a later date he would go into the subject at length to show* wherein the Missouri senator was wrong Rep.

The finding of the piece of waistbelt marked with Robert Luke's initials caused much excitement among the men on the station. Nothing more, howevei, could be discovered, and for Beveral tfeeks Luke hunted about the place In vain, hoping that he might succeed m finding still another link in the chain of evidence which might lead *.o some trace of his lost brother. In the meantime the whole colony had again become Interested in the affair, chiefly from the fact that no traces could be fouud either of Baynes OP his wife; and, aa It became certain that the missing couple had not traveled toward the coast, as Baynes had aaid they Intended doing, the matter Srew dally more and more mysterious. Days ?.nd weeks passed by, and yet nothing fresh concerning the disappearance of Robert Luke came to light. His brother began to despair, and at last one night he announced his intention of returning to England. "It is of no use my remaining here," he said, "Besides I must go home and look after my business. I have done my best, and I can do no more. But to my dying day I shall believe that that Baynes and his wife were somehow or other mixed up with the disappearance of my brother." That night he went up to the hut for the last time. Having strapped up the few things he possessed In his valise, he made all preparations for starting early the next morning. Then ue retired to rest. Once more William, Luke dreamed. This time he heard the same voice crying out, "Help—help!" He did not awake, but wearily answered In his sleep— ''I am here, Bob. What do you want? I have done the best I can, and I can do no more." They were the words which he had used that night when he wished the men good-by. Presently his dream took a more substantial form. He beheld the hut in-jvhlch he slept lighted by a solitary "slush" lamp. Upon the bed wb,ere he lay he saw the figure of a woman, sitting with her head resting m her hands.

Then Luke heard a noise, as of some one outj side the hut. In his vision his sense of hearing seemed almost painfully acute. j The woman also hoard the noise, and i raised her head as if In alarm. He could not catch a glimpse of her face, for as she sat upon the edge of the bed her features were turned away fffoxn him. Suddenly he heard a voice speaking from without. Luks started in his sleep, for It was the voice of his brother! "Mrs. Baynes," it said in a clear, low tone—"Mrs Baynes, would you kindly glvve me a drop of brandy, If you have such a thing-? I am sorry to trouble you at this time of night, but I am not very well. I am Luke—Bob Lu3*e." The woman, as she listened,, clasped htr hands together as If in mortal terror, but she answered not a word. Presently the voice came again, this time louder and with a more determined accent "Mrs. Baynes—d'ye hear, Mrs. Baynes?" The woman rose stealthily from her sitting position and stepped toward the fireplace. Unhooking the great kettle that hung from an iron bar by a chain, she noiselessly removed the bar from its place and stood clutching It in her right hand, as if prepared to use it as a weapon of defense. William Luke seemed to strain every nerve in his sleep as he endeavored to cry out; but his vo<£e appeared to have left him and his limbs refused to do his bidding. He was like one paralyzed for the time being, with the powers of hearing and seeing alone left to niml Then he perceived that the door was k i pressed in from without"" The part, where there wsi no bolt, showed signs of giving away; another heaving of the door, and yet another, a loud crash, and William Luke behold his brother! For several seconds, as it seemed to dreamer, the figure of Robert Luke stood slfently gexing at the woman, who stood defiantly facing him. Wll- Uajn Luke beheld only the faee of his brother.

Suddenly fconnffw he Msasd about to bj* % *•!•# fross wtaont tbs hut, like the sound of a ho:>e galloping up to the door, caused him to look round. The woman, quick «s thought, raised the cruel bar of iron in her hands and dealt him a heavy blow upon fcts skull; and with a wail of "Help—help!" Robert Luke fell face downward upon the floor. Then came a blank in the dream, and William saw no more. Presently however he beheld the figure of his brother standing near thf bed. Raising himself slowly, he gazed into his face, and, holding out hi.-; irms, he endeavored to embrace him. His brother looked Badly into his eyes, and then, turning from him, moved slowly toward the fireplace, and vanished from his sight. William Luke awoke to find himself standing on the bare earth of the hut. The moon shone brightly through the open window, upon the spot where, in his dream, he had last seen his brother. This time he remembered all he had dreamed. "He is there," he cried—"foully murdered and buried there! Heaven help me if I am going mad!" Then, rushing down to the huts where the men slept, he awakened th-s whole station. ' In less than an hour sturdy men, with lanterns to light them at their work, were busily engaged with pickaxes and shovels In raising the hearth inside the hut. Luke, in a wild state of excitement, was directing and urging them on to their labors. The scene was a curious one, as the whole population of the place was gathered in and around the hut speculating as to what possible discovery there might be made. The men had removed the rough stones upon the hearth, and had dug Eorae four feet deep into the earth, when they stopped to take breath. "Go on—go on!" shouted Luke. "Deeper down yet—deeper down!" "Keep quiet, Luke!" remonstrated Mr. Hall. "Your exciting yourself like this can do no good." Luke eat down upon a bench and buried his face in his hands. He could not endure even the moment's delay -which tho men required for rest from their toil. Again the hut resounded with the sound of the pick and shovel at work. But Luke looked up no more. Mr. Hall's words had soothed his overwrought mind, and he waited patiently for what might come. "Liere's something anyhow," cried one of the men—"a mart's hand!" Luke sprang to hts feet, now unable to control his excitement. "Gently—we are on it now!" said one. "There is more beneath. Mercy on us—It's Bob!" There, dismembered, lay the remains of what once had been Robert Luke. "At last! I knew it—I knew it!" said a voice solemnly; and William Luke sank down upon a bench, shielding his eyes with his hands from the horrid sight, and cried, "Now may Heaven send me my revenge!" CHAPTER XVI. There was net the slightest difficulty in identifying the body, for the man's clothes, even to the other half of the broken belt, were buried with him. When William Luke narrated his dream, men looked at one another aghast. Even the most skeptical could not doubt that he had actually seen a vision of the murder as It really happened. The one thing that grieved him was that he had been unabfe to see the face of the woman In the hut; and thus his suspicions as to the connection between Edward Bartlett, Anne Dodson, and the late occupants of the hut remained as unconfirmed as before. Mr. Hall at once communicated with the police at Mount Gipps, and early the next morning four troopers and some black trackers appeared on the scene. Nearly two months had elapsed since the departure of Baynes and his wife, and nothing at all had been heard of them. That they had murdered Robert Luke there could be no possible doubt The excitement on the station was Intense, and people flocked from all parts of the country to witness the scene of the awful crime and to behold the man who had dreaj&ed that fearful dream. It was suggested that an expedition should bt sent out to hunt all the country round about. "If tb*y are anywhere In the colony," said Mr. Hall, after a long consultation witfc tae »er*ea"t ef th/vpolk*, "ft i s 4bat il.'-y h^vc taken to th4 baek country somewhere in the direction of tUe Gray Bangs*. Tnere they might exist for /ears, If they happened to drop acres* a good water-sopply, «nsetn by any mortal eye." "But there to a vast sandy tract of country between this and the Gray, is there not?" inquired the sergeant "Yea," replied Mr. Hall; "but it is just possible that they succeeded in crossing it. This has been an unusually wet season; and, from what the stock men have told me, all the creeks and 'clay-pans' out in that direction are full of water. Jack knows the country well—better than anybody about this neighborhood. He has often been out for weeks together after stray cattle that have gone that way." "V<»ry well, sir," said the sergeant; "1 ;ua Killing to do whatever you may think aest." "It is decided lien," replied Mr. Hall. "We will take two weeks' provisions on pack-horses, and S№ if we can't come across tiisir track3.M This seemed a most sensible plan to pursue1, and accordingly a part}- v/as organized, consisting of the sergeant, three troopers, young Jack, Mr. Hall, William Lukr. end—much io Mr. HaU'. dlsgusL-Sullivan the innkeeper. Mr. Hall did his utmost to prevent Sullivan'8 Joining the expedition, no great was his abhorrence of the man; but, as he had provided himself with £ pack-horse well-laden with food and grog, Mr. Hall could not well prevent him from accompanying them. As matters turned out, it would have been very much better for Mr. Sullivan if he had allowed himself to be dissuaded; but the majority of stuaible people, when talking the affair over in after years, were decidedly of opinion that it was a very good j<?b for every one else that he had joined the expedition'. The commotion on the station -.»» the morning when the expedition started in search of the fugitives was tremendous. Pack-saddles were being adjus.ed to restive brutes whose sole aim'aL.6 object was to kick themselves free -from their encumbrances. All sorts of things were forgotten and remembered just at the last momer t At last the cavalcade got under way, and Mrs. Hall and her daughter walclied it across the plain from the verandah of the house until the gumtrees, which lined the creek for some mileB, hid it from view. The expedition proceeded some thirty miles or more without any difficulty —in- fact, the country was familiar to nearly all the riders. Several small out-stations were passed, where boundary riders and shepherds in Mr. Hall's employ1 lived their quiet uneventful lives. At one of these they halted for the night, much to the disgust of the old "hatter" who lived_there_Kilh__Ma flocks, and who nursed a wholesome antipathy to the entire human race. "Cranky Jim.'' ?ie was called, and, if a love of absolute solitude entitled him to the name, he was undoubtedly deserving of it. Had he seen two people pass that way about ten weeks ago? No, he had not seen two people pass that way— and, what was more, he did not want to see them. One was a woman, was It? Ah, well, a woman was naught to him; he ha«l seen enough of vromen in his time, he had! His otfi&r remarks were so full of imprecations and blasphemy that Mr. Hall ceased to intem>- gate him. On the second day they halted about noon in sight of the sand-hills. This was the great barrier which they knew lay between the grass country on the Barrier side and the Gray Ranges. Mr. Hall had wisely insisted upon all the water-bags felng fifilled up at the last good water-.aole; and he felt convinced that, with the supply they carried, the fifty or sixty miles* of desert ought to be safely crossed by man and beast. It was within two hours of sundown when the little party entered the unknown region. The horses staggered wearily along, occasionally sinking Into the sand up to their knees, and struggling through the scrub and prickly mimosa which grew plentifully in places upon the low hills. Nightfall came on, and the cavalei6e encamped; there was no sign of water, and they had to draw upon the supply they carried with them. Jack Hall had more than once entered these inhospitable regions in search of lost cattle, and he was under the belief that a more fertile country lay beyond it—how far distant of course he could not say; but, from whathe had gathered from the blacks he "believed three days would see them through the worst of it. For two long days the travelers toiled on through the heavy drifts of sand, but towards sundown on the third day they beheld trees ahead, at the sight of which their spirits rose amazingly; Mr. Hall ordered half-rations of water to be served out to the men and horses, for he was by no means confident, because he beheld trees tn the dim distance, that be was going to find a lake or an Inexhaustible well. Sullivan was the best-provided person of the company, for, besides two huge waUr-bag*. he had a liberal supply of spirituous liquors, which a* was liberal in dispensing—to kiasttl (To be Continued.)

The solemmity of a religeous gathering in the vicinity was rudely broken by one of the kids who generally occupy the rear Beats. An old man was telling his ezprience, and, with tears in his eyes, was sadly bewailing his tendency to backslide, and asked the prayers of his brothers and sisters to help him.

She told me of former years when the great ambition of her life had been to achieve success on the stage. To this end she bad been ready to sacrifice everything, and against her parents' wishes, she had come on to New York and gone through the prescribe^course at a school of acting. Then, somehow, it had come to her that there was a more real thing for her to do than strutting and mimicking on the boards, and she had given up all her cherished hopes, satisified and happy now, as she had never been in the knowledge that what strenght and force there wero in her would go to bettering the lot of others. And for some two years she had worked in the slums of New Orleans, preaching to the ignorant, ministering to the suffering; and when the war came she was one of the first to vol.uut er for duty at the front ; and in*lhe cause of duty she had been stricken down. All this she told me very simply, and it was easy see that here was one who found the secret of a serene mind. —From "Stories of the Nurses," by Cleveland Moffett, in Demor est'sMagazine for December.

When we learn something of their movements so absolutely accurate that their phases and positions can be foretold with perfect certainty long centuries in advance, defying competition by the most perfectinstruments ot human devising, it isMmpossible with Sony show of reason > to deny the controlling presence of ah infinite mind.

The university is careful alt* not to constrain small high school! to undertake more than can be well accomplished, and hence would prefer to accredit a small high school with lest than the amount required for admission to the university than with the fun amount less thoroughly done.

Over in Hampshire, England, there are four prjetty girls who have mastered the rare—for a woman—accomplishment^ of bell ringing, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. These Hampshire girls are all members of the Winchester Diocesan Guild ot Change-Ringers, and also belong to the bands in their respective towns; two of them hail from Basingstoke and the other two from Alton. ' t h e latter are a clergyman's daughters and can be seen any Sunday morning or evening taking their place with the other ringers in the belfry and summoning .the congregations to church, or, oh Thursday evenings, attending the weekly practices of an art with which they are now thoroughly conversant. No great effort is required to manage a bell. What is essential Is knack,'and this these girls possess in an eminent degree; they can jring a nine or ten hundredweight bell with ease. When at work they wear loose, easy costume, adaptable for othor athletic exercises, and present n pretty picture as they take their places for a chime on the "ding-dong hell." So fascinating is the study of bell ringing that these enthusiasts spend hours over their books of instruction. A short peal is called a "touch," and when they meet (or weekly practice and one of these "touches" Is called by the instructor It is a great triumph when he announces "All's well."

His e a r n 1 ng capacity was $18 per week, but because of the prevailing hard times his income had been reduced to $12. Thkt sum, with some little change, comprised his cash capital. As he buttoned his coat about his neck he reflected cu&fully that this was a very small sum with (which to meet his expenses and to buy prftHftiitg. The "wind blew briskly down Park place as he walk toward Broadway, thinking of the coming rent day, the empty coal bin, and the new dress he had promised his wife. His thought* were saddened as be remembered that his little boy would have been nearly five years old bad he lived until Christmas. There was a sense of constriction in his throat as he. thought of last year's Christmas tree, bright with spangles, Irradiated with light and whitened with popcorn balls. Then against the walls of memory stood out clear and distinct the figure of his little boy standing in bis white nightgown in the gay dawn of Christmas day, with flushed cheeks and eyes dancing with delight, looking at the marvelous Chrlstmaa tree. On Park row, near the corner of Chambers street, them was a toy store of most wonderful variety. As Thomas came down the street, his mind intent on his own misery, his gaze fell upon one of the most pathetic figures he had ever seen. Before the window of the toy store stood a little boy, whose: nose was fattened against We pane. His body shivered with the cold, but his soul was aflame with desire, which was expressed in his hungry durated expression in the little face, the pinched nostrils, the blue circles under the eyes, and the wolfish look 'on the wan features faded away as the child turned to Thomas and said: "Say, mister, lif' me up so I kin see de candy cigarettes!" ThorT.3 lifted the boy In his strong arms c: " U !.'- range of vision included a. .he Tantalus delights of the bazaar. "I wisht me mudder was goln' V hav' a Krismua tree, but she says she can't have none dis year, 'cause ehe ain't got no dust. She scrubs in de Morse buildin' en gets $4 a week. Say, dat's a lot o' money, ain't It? Hully gee! Look at de dinky little tin eojer! Ain't he a corker! Mister, is your little boy goln' to hav' a Krismus tree?" "I'm afraid not this year sonny," Thomas replied. "My little iboy is in Heaven." "Where's dat? Across de river?" "Yes, it is across the river," replied Thomas, gravely, putting the little fellow down upon the sidewalk. "What is your name?" he continued. "Tommy O'Dowd," replied the boy, "and I live in Middle alley." ell. Tommy," said Thomas, "you "SAY, MISTER, LIT MB UP." •yes, Thomas estimated his age at 6 yeans.

And so, hand in hand, the strangely assorted pair went to the telegraph office and Thomas sent this dispatch to his wife in Harlem: "Dear Mollie: Detained down town by important business. Will be home at 11 o'clock." "Do you know the way home?" asked Thomas as they came out of the telegraph office on Park Row again. "Yes," said Tommy, scornfully. "I know all de streets. Ye goes down New Chambers street till ye comes to Roosevelt, den ye goes down Roosevelt till ye gets to Cherry en den ? are In Middle alley." They followed this Itinerary, Tommy running ahead to point out the way. They entered the alley between two enormous brick tenements, through a big Iron gate, and after a wearisome climb up crooked stairways arrived at the O'Dowd residence. Tommy went into the room, and as Thomas lingered on £he threshold he heard a strident voice say: "So that's you, you little scutl Sure you had the heart o' me ar brak I was that freckened!

"Now, ain't that kind o' you, sir," exclaimed Mrs. O'Dowd. "Sure It's not many would do the same, so there.'' "But ye needn't be freckened about that Uttle blaggard. Faith, he'd find his way from Harlem to the Batthery. watched Mm, Tke la- In such genial convene/Che time posted, while Tommy and his mother slipped on mackerel and potatoes. And wben Tommy hod been tucked away for the nlgfet in his motber's bed under the mantel, on which stood a plaster caet of the Virgin, with hands outspread in benediction, Thomas had a whispered talk with Mrs. O'Dowd, interrupted at frequent intervals toy e«ch exclamations as, "Ofc. dear, may your shadow never grow less!" "May your wife never attend yo«r fnnerol," etc oik Ttonmeq was walking »p >H ctreet with eager footsteps. j He stopped at a grocery atone and mode a purchase* then hurried op into Park Row again. The toy store man was potting up bfc shutters, tout Thomas prevailed on him to go inside, and at 10 o'do-fc he was back in Middle alley tgUn. Tears of delight filled Mrs. ODowd'i eyes as ahe met him at the entrance to the alley and led him up the labyrinthine staircase. Th*ce was. more mysterious whispering. Then Mrs. O'Dowd flew downstairs again to get a bundle of kindling wood. It was well that Tommy was a sound sleeper, as the fleeting forms of shadowy figures and the rustle of papers would have disturbed him. It was 11:30 when Thomas arrived at home and greeted bis anxious wife. When they retired Thomas said: "Molly, set the alarm for 4 o'clock tomorrow, and get your wraps ready, for X intend to take you along to help" play a joke on Tommy O'Dowd." She piled him with Questions, he gave her evasive replies. At 5 o'clock Thomas and his wife avrtred at- Middle alley. "Is he awake?" he asked anxiously of Mrs. O'Dowd, who met them at the door. "No; the saints be praised, he's sleepin' like the dead. Come here at the diife and watch." The door had been thrown wide open, but Mrs. O'Dowd had hung her Sunday shawl over the opening. Behind the folda of this garment the three persons watched and waited. The blinds had been carefully closed, so that not a ray of sunlight came into the room. Three kerosene, lamps were blazing with light to their utmost capacity. It was painfully still in the room, and by listening Intently Thomas thought he could hear the gentle breathing of the little boy. As the minutes ticked slowly away the suspense was almost unbearable. A movement In the bed caught the ears of the listeners. Then the bed clothes were thrown aside and the little fellow sat upright, apparently paralyzed with amazement. Upon a little table between the windows stood a Christmas tree two feet tall stuck into the middle of a bundle of wood. The light was reflected from a hundred pieces of red paper tied to the scrawny boughs, a dozen red and white popcorn balls hung like apples on the limbs. Little candles twinkled through the scant fol-» lage, while barber-pole candy, a tin soldier and a Jumping Jack were prominently displayed. It was an Aladdlnlike scene. And before this radiant vision, like a saint before a shrine, with hands clasped In adoring admiration, stood little Tommy, while his mother was weeping tears of joy with her face hidden in the shawl. Thomas and his wife stole quietly out and left them. —"flmfrgftj atftlN" mid Mr*. Thomas WKSTERN CANADA PRAIRieS. • * * « * • WeJfNW 9i tk* C«aUae«t Um la Their VertU* lUUte.

Horning was declared elected, but Green demanded a recount. In Chesaning township 239 ballots were cast out on the recount because the initials of the inspector had been placed in the corner opposite to that provided by statute. Of these ballots 177 were for Horning and G9 for Green, and as this would elect the latter Horning appealed to the circuit court to compel the canvassers to count the rejected ballots. The court so ordered and Green carried the case to supreme court, but he was again knocked out, as the decision of the circuit cVrart was affirmed and Horning declared elected. One Ballet's Work. Private Thos. J. Collins, Co. E, 7th U. a infantry, at Ft. Wayne, Detroit, was cleaning his Rrag-Jorgenson rifle on the upper floor of the barracks when it was accidentally discharged. The bullet cut through Collins' foot and passed through the ceiling and plaster and struck Private Sandsj of Co.

Sectional feeling no longer holds back the love we bear each other. Fraternity Is the national anthem, sung by A chorus of 45 states and our territories at home and beyond the sens. The Union is once more the common atlar of our love and loyalty, our devotion and sacrifice. The old tJa# a#ain waves over us in peace with new glories which your sons and oura have this year added to its saerod folds. * * • livery soldier's* grave, made duriny our unfortnnute civil war, is a tribute to American valor. And the time has now come iu the evolution of sentiment and feeling under the providence of God, when in the spirit of fraternity wo should share with you in the care of the graves of the Confederate hoidiers. The cordial feeling now happily existing between the north and south prompts this gracious act and if it needed further justiliuation it is found in the gallant loyalty to the Union and the flag, so conspicuously shown in the year just passed by the sons and grandsons of these heroic dead." The southrons almost went wild in their pleasure at these words and it is generally conceded that the President's address has marked an epoch in history. The President made a tour of southern cities and at every point was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm. Speeches delivered at Tuskegee and Montgomery, Ala., and at Savannah, Ga., were cheered to the echo by thousands of citizens. At the latter place the President reviewed 10,000 troops stationed there. The burden of the President's addresses was the retention of the eastern possessions wrested from Spain and the applause of the multitudes indicated their most hearty approval.

President McKinley has signed an executive order establishing a customs tariff for the island of Cuba, to go into effect Jan. 1 next. It is a revision o f the temporary military tariff adopted by the war department for the port of Santiago, which was a general reduction of 62 per cent on the tariff imposed by Spain on all imports into Cuba from the United States and all other countries except Spain. The rates in the tariff about to go into force, with some few exceptions, are greatly below the rates now in force at Santiago. The new tariff has been framed with a view to the rehabilitation of the island. The duty on paving stones, which are likely to cut an important figure in the sanitary reh ilitation of Havana, has been abolished, and the duties on chemicals, tar and pitch and crude oil heavily cut. The iron ore and steel rail duties have been reduced. 50 per cent. Coal and agricultural implements are put on the face list. OarlUU Ready for Revolution la Spain.

NESFIELD, CHAPTER XVII. On the fourth morning the expedition began to enter a lovely country. In the far distance loomed the Gray Ranges, about which little then was Vnown, save that they were popularly supposed to awarm with blacks. Tracks of wild cattle and horses began to be observed, and small herds of kangaroos and flocks of emus fled in dismay from the unexpected invasion of their domain. The country began to be mare hilly and better timbered, Large clumps of Bhea-oak and pine dotted about the hills gave it that park-like appearance so familiar to the traveler in civilized Victoria. Now they crossed a wide «andy creek, lined witL huge guw-trees, where dead logs and bowlders spoke of Ihe wintry Hoods, which had washed them down from the highlands above to their present resting places. Here the white cockatoos screamed their shrill welcome, and the iguanas etole stealthily away from the track of the explorers, and yawned their disapprobation at a safe distance, "WeU," thought Mr. Hall, "if this escapade means nothing else, it means one thing. If I get back safely over those confounded sand-hills my name >n/t pharles Hall If I don't take up a "hundred square miles of this country for a cattle-run." Towards mid-day the party came across a deserted native encampment, and near it was a well. Here they rested and refreshed their horses and themselves, having first taken the precaution of laying in a full supply of the good drinking water for their future needs. After a few hours' rest another start was made, but no sign of the fugitives could be seen. It was drawing towards evening when Jack Hall, who led the way, suddenly cried— —-• "Halt!" Dismounting, he carefully examined the ground. Rain had fallen there recently, and In a "clap-pan" which he was about to cross ho had come upon the tracks of a large dog. Uncertain whether this was the trail of a wild dingo or of a more domesticated anitnal, he had at once decided upon following it up. Skirting the edge of the moist clay, he made his way carefully through a mass of reedy grass and rushes, until he came upon a second open space, a "clay-pan" like the first. These "clay-pans" are bare shallow patches of earth which hold the water many weeks after the rain has fallen; and in some of the dry districts of Australia they are utilized by the settlers, who wake tanks in their neighborhood, and run the water from them by means of small drains into the artificial rain-catcher. At the second clay-pan Jack Hall paused and looked carefully around it, and then with a cry of delight he shouted out to his companions— "All right! We are on to them— steady—don't move! Stay where you are. Here are tracks of a man's boots —tracks not three dayB old!" Resting quietly in their saddles at they were bidden, the men sat silently expectant, while Jack followed up the trail. Some twenty yards or BO from where he first struck it, on the left of the "clay-pan," he discovered in some thick scrub the remains of a kangaroo. The feet, head and entrails lay upon tbt ground. The other portions had been taken away. "Blacksr inquired Mr. Hall. "No," replied Jack—"not Wacks— look there!**—and, holding up the animal's skull, he showed upon it the mark of a bullet-wound. "They are armed then," said the sergeant. "Tea—they have weapons of some sort, that's clear," replied Jack Hall; and, splitting open the head with his skesvth-knife, he extracted a ballet. "Revolver bullet," he remarked, holdtag It tip for his father's Inspection. •„ i'?How about the doer* asked one of the troopers. "There are tracks across toth tlese clay-paas of * dog." . "Baynea had a kangaroo-dog at the station. I rtstember veil his buying It from one of the men," said Jack, **and his being chaffed about going out bunting." "But, e* the night «f Bob Lake's going u* to the hut,** interposed tfct sergeant, "how was it thai n» «ae h*ard die dog barter • < "Baytti took It 4o«fe with him to tttttran's. I nsmesibef a—lag him tol- Urn Baynes dowm the creek. Tom t» kaow« SalllYaa? Did you tee a dog with him when he came into the bar for-the mail-bags?" "Yes," replied Sullivan; "I remember quite well seeing the dog with him —that is, on the night he came down for the mails. I don't remember noticing it with him before, though. But dogs aren't such scarce animals about the Ranges as to call for particular notice." ' "Well, I remember his having done it quite well, weeks before Bob Luke disappeared," sn!d Jack, "and, what's more, he took the dog away with him when he left the station." After holding a hurried council, it was decided that young Jack should continue the trail, and, having at last picked it up, he led the way, followed at some little distance by the rest of the party, across a plateau, until at last he arrived at the brink—a lofty precipice. Beneath him lay a long, narrow valley. Hills covered with thick scrub rose up on either side of it, while beyond, apparently only a few miles distant, could be seen plainly the long line of the Gray Ranges. At the bottom of the gorge was a winding creek full of sand and huge bowlders; but, from the luxuriant growth of the gum-trees which lined it, there could be no doubt but that an ample supply of water wai to be found there. Looking down upon these gums and wattles from that dizzy height, they seemed'to be no larger than cabbageplants, but Jack knew quite well that the plateau they were on was probably two thousand" feet above the waterbed upon which he gazed. By-and-by, as his eyes became more accustomed to the scene, he fancied he detected a thin line of smoke issuing from the foliage below. Yes, it was smoke. That curling line of blue vapor betrayed the presence of human beings; probably it was a native encampment The blacks were reported to be very numerous and hostile in this nearly unknown region, and it was advisable to take every precaution before approaching them. "That's a camp," exclaimed Jack, scarcely above his breath, "and a white man's camp, too, I'll wager!" It was decided after a hurried discussion that one of the party should go down and reconnoiter. the gully, and e that his re- Silently he CHAPTER XVIII. Jack Hall claimed that right, and, leaving his horse In charge of one of the troopers, he hunted aboat to try to find some rafe place Jiisre he could make the descent. Preswdly he fouad a zig-zag path which had evidendy been wern by human feet, and which appeared to le*4 directly down to where he had observed me smoke. By carefiU maneuvering he arrived nearly at the bottom he paused to make volver was in rea drew It from its sheath and examined it. Tlisn he gently continued his way, avoiding ever? piece of dry wood that lay in his path, the cracking of which might betray his presence. At length the ground became less thickly timbered, and he felt sure that he could EG*, be far from the camp. Straining k:<8 eyes, he could now distinguish between the stems of the trees a roughly-built bark hut It was not above twenty yards from where he stood, but the color of the bark made it difficult to discern. It was, as lie surmised, no native encampment There was a chimney at one end of it, which at once proclaimed the Inhabitants to be white men. Lying down flat upon the ground, Jaclt Hall watched and listened. Presently he heard voices. Then a woman came out, and walked towards a pile of firewood. Taking up a chopper, she split some up and carried it into the hut. Then he heard more talking, but he was unable to distinguish what was said. An hour passed, and the sun began to get low. If anything was to be done that night it must be done quickly; so, creeping up on his hands and knees, he at last regained his companions above. Motioning to them to be silent, he withdrew the party to some little distance from the edge of the precipice, and then told them all that he had seen. "There c*a be no doubt about it— they are thei«.M be said. "IdMaotgo vp to BaynW but whem H was •ear<a«a, and so 414 Aoi see the woMta; tat pom 414. fatter, «*4 frost what you toM s t I aas eartala it It the matter rest* sow aattralj with you, sergeant," remarked Jtr.

"Then my trdtrt are far you all to spread out Get down the sides of the ravine as well together a* you can. Surround the hut and arreti them at once. We have a good hour's light left, yet" The eight men then proceeded to tether their horses on the flat, and, having made them all safe, they each selected a spot at which to descend. They then disappeared amongst tht scrub. Some ten minutes elapsed. Then a cry broke the silence—it was the voice of William Luke. Hurrying down rather more quickl/ than his companions, he had seen one of the occupants of the hut standing near the doorway.% The slamming to of a door was heard, and almost simultaneously the trackers emerged upon the valley. There was no further necessity for silence, for th&ir presence had been betrayed by Luke's exclamation of surprise. "Two remain in the rear," cried the sergeant—"one on either aide, and the others advance with me!" The men who ran to the trooper's side were William Luke, Jack Hall and Sullivan. "I call upon you in the Queen'B nams to surrender!" cried the sergeant, as* he advanced. Two puffs of white smoke from between the sheets of bark which formed the walls of the hut, followed by sharp reports, were the only answers he received. (To be Continued.) NOT MUCH OF A LOVE MATCH. Queen WUhelmln*** Marrl«g« Largely Gov«r!ied by Reasons or State. It has been widely heralded that the engagement of Holland's young queen and the prince of Wied 1B one in which love cuts more of a figure than anything else. There is very good reason to believe that, while there may be more affection between the two than is usually the case in royal marriages, reasons of state have as much to do with the prospective union as anything else. One of these reasons has Just been pointed out by a European authority. The royal family and the people of Holland generally want to avoid the possibility that by the marriage of the young sovereign to a prince of a ruling family it might happen after some time that through inheritance a ruler of a foreign country might become also king of Holland. "TTusTmight easily happen if the yuuug queen should marry a prince of any ruling European house, The Dutch royal family and the people at Holland do not wish to repeat the experiences which the country has had in the past. Such marriages were the reasons for the Dutch war of independence in the sixteenth century, and indirectly for the dividing of Belgium and Hcrffend into two kingdoms in 1832. Just such a consort as was desired by the Dutch people Is found in the prince of Wied, whose family Is absolutely without political influence in Germany. During the dominance of Napoleon in a large part of European affairs the Wleds were deprived of their throne. After the evacuation of OerOEtAy by the French it was considered teat by the rulers of all the large German states not to restore their thrones "to the smaller princes, included, among whom were the princes of Wied. The former territory of the Wieds was therefore given to Prussia in 1815, since when the princes of Wied have been Prussian subjects, with lesa influence in Germany than many of the oldest noble families. Nevertheless, the Wied family is considered to be of equal birth to the other royal German families. Their title remains, but that is all, as they have very small family possessions. As Bulwer saya, "The mate for beauty should be a man, not a money cheat" and when the beauty is also a queen this rule should hold doubly good. Tat prince, being an exceedingly presentable young fellow and without any chance of bringing up complications such at the cautious Hollanders feared, waa just the man to mate with her majesty Queen Wilhelmina. Hence his selection. His royal highness is poor, but his wife will have enough for both, and she is believed to know enough to so manage affairs that her royal consort will be held in check should he ever manifest such gay tendencies aa have characterized the ruler of the neighboring kingdom of Belgium.

Corlia*, of Michigan* introduced a comprehensive bill providing for the acquisition of a right of way and the construction of an inter-oceanic canal by the United State*. The bill provides that the United States shall acquire from Costa Rica and Nicaragua a strip of land sufficient for a right of way for the canal and the necessary ports and harbors, and authorizes the "payment of $3,000,000 to the Maritime Canal Co. in full compensation for tho concession which that company now holds. It guarantees to Costa Rica and Nicaragua the use of the canal and harbor* and authorizes the issuance by the United States of $120,000,- 000 in bonds of denominations from 850 to $1,000 at 3 per cent interest. The President is authorized to extend to all nations the use of the Nicaragua canal on equal terms as to tolls and the privileges of navigation, provided said nations respectively enter into a treaty providing for the neutrality of the eaid canal, together with the ports of entry therein in the Pacific oceau and the Carribbean sea for at least the distance of 200 miles from said respective harbors Senator Teller (Rep., Col.) made a lengthy speech in advocacy of the theory that there are no restrictions upon the rigtit of the United States to expand its borders so as to include far distant territory. He went quite thoroughly into thj legal points bearing upon the question and also incidentally discussed at some length the form of government for the Filipinos, saying that he would encourage selfgovernment among the islanders and would give them the moBt liberal government which they were capable of conducting, but that he would not take down the American flag where once planted. Senator Platt (Rep., Conn.) spoke against the Vest resolution which declares that the United States has no power to acquire territory. He said that expansion has been a law of our national growth, the mainspring of our national development. As to granting self-government to new peoples, we would be under no obligation to do so until the people showed their fitness for it. Senator Proctor (Rep., Ver.) introduced a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee of five senators to visit the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico for the purpose of "inquiring into the military requirements necessary to establish and maintain order in those islands until civil government is inaugurated/' Mr. Hale (Rep., Me.) opposed the measure.

The Moral of This Old, Old Anecdote Will Save a Heap of Trouble and a File of Money. Something had gone wrong with some simple part of a stationary engine and the stoker could not fix it. After spending a day or two on it he was forced to ask the aid of a more competent workman. lie failed also, and someone suggested the employment of a local celebrity, a sort of tinker at any mechanical job. There is generally one in every locality. He gave two or three raps with his hammer and touched up a .rod or two, when the pounding, or whatever ailed the ma» chine, ceased. When asked to. make out his bill, it read as follows: To Fixing Engine 8 .60 To Knowing How 10.00 *10.50 This anecdote clearly demonstrates that it pays to know how. Engineer J. J.

ANDREWS EDITOR. THURSDAY, DEC. 29, 1898. A Trip To The (Jraud canyon. The following letter was written by James Gilbert, who was a forer resident of North Lake, near ere, to his cousin Will Dunlmr, and may prove of interest to inauy of our readers: I, with a party of ten left Cnmp Verde, Arizona for a trip to the Grand Can you. We started on the 9th of August on our overland trip, with three teams, two two horse teams and one four horse teams. The four horse team drew a large wagon for the purpose of hauling our bedding and provisions and all the necessities of a trip of this sort. We left the Camp on a bright August morning, when the thermometer registered about 105 degrees fahreuheit in the sha^e. On account of water we only traveled about 11 miles, when we camped over night. We were in a low altitude but nevertheless every one slept well during the night The morning of the 10th we started up the mountain, which was a steep incline. It took us all day to climb this mountian, |t was late when we got to our but we found the nicest I ever saw for camping, a fine spring of water abundance of pasture for * ftock. 1 can say that we all well in our camp. We slept three puirs of blankets e"i'e the night before we needed account of tlw fine water beauty of the camping we stayed over one day. morning of the 12th we panned our trip over the mountthrough a pine forest, one could not help Our camp this evening the pump-house, nine miles Flagstaff, This is the pump that supplies Flagstaff with water. The 13th we started and reached at.. the little city of Flagstaff, where we camped for several days. This was at the foot of the San Francisco Mts. There we had a beautiful camping ground, with the altitude at 10,000 feet above sea ifwel, here you may know we had a fine time and a delightful climate. We all ate hearty and slept well. We camped at the foot of the San Francisco Mts. for several days, and enjoyed ourselves in camp life. While we were there we saw many things of interest. We went to the stock yards to see them load about 750 head of cattle on the cars. One the greatest things I saw while I was in Flagstaff was the Ice Caves. They were about 8 miles north of Flagstaff, near Clark's valley. The cave is on. a M. ittle kujtl, and v!i3u I saw tbe place where we had to go down I lthought it would be impossible for any one to enter the cave through so gniaU a passage, but after much squeezing we nil got through except one heavy set man, but after a little sever** squeezing he got through at last. Inside the cave we found large chunks of ice and iciiles, and about 35 feet iusule the cuve we found large lumps of ice, one of which we took to our camp. The morning of the 25th we continued our journey to the cauyon. We still went higher and higher up over the good finished wagon ro«d. We reached the altitude of about 12,000 feet on this days journey. At night we camped at a little spring, which we found to be verv Sue water. Just ns we were getting supper for this evening a cloud came over the mouutain and surprised all by wetting everything but after the rain we all enjoyed a good meal as usual. I have not said that we were all cooks. I was the gravy cook and I tell you we hud some fine gravy at times. Ou the morning of the 26fch we reached Lime Stone Tanks. Here we had to use tank water: The next day we reached the pines, but not good water. We were compelled to camp at a tank and uso that water. On the evening of the 28th we reached the rim of the Grand Canyon. This was a distance of 133 miles fw>in home. We were all tired enough of driving and eujoyed a good nights rest, but were all anxious to,see the Grand Canyon and were up early and dressed for a ride around the rim. All were mounted on horse back, ladies included; We started aud Jjrftveled a mile or two till we got a good view of the cauyon. We found that we could get the best view in this depth. I will say that this canyon has the right name "Grand". One cannot express in any other word the extensive granduer of this canyon. I will give some of the dimensions as they were from where we were. It was 18 miles wide* and its depth was 5053 feet from the head of the trail to the Colorado river. Tbe trail from the head to the bottom of the cauyon is 7 miles. The surrounding country is not rough Find broken as one would think it was. We traveled all dAy on the rim and looked from different points. When it began to grow dark we returned to our camp and all went to bed early so as to get an early start down the canyon. We rose early and part of the crowd went on horse back and the other part on foot. I walked down the canyon with an old lady who weighed about 225 ponnds and I tell you I had a picnic getting down and out with her. There was some of the finest scenery down in the canyon I ever saw. I went into two caves while I was there. I expect it is of little of me Dr.Cady's Condition Powders are just what a horse needs when in bad condition, Tonic, blood purifier and vermifuge.

Our standing army would be simply rank were it not for the officers. Long hair on a man is very apt to ©over a multitude of cranky ideas.

No man ever allows his whiskers to grow long enough to conceal a diamond pin. A woman looks into one glass to paint her face, but a man looks Into several to paint his nose.

In this country ha! ijwreased enormously, that the imports of manufactured silk have meantime been greatly reduced, and the exportation r -rfDf silk manufactures are now increaavery rapidly, the total exports for present calendar year being more than 60 per cent la excess of tha corresponding months of last year, and for the full year will be six times as ntuch at in 1889. V • : " > > * • . • * • / : • • : &•••• it, M • • m • - : K At the age of one hundred and eleven years the "eldest man In VI- ^enna" Is described as hale and hearty* and able to enjoy a joke and other good things of life. He was six years old when Louis XVL mt France was .befceadedl, eighteen when Trafalgar was fought, and fifty when Queen Victoria began the longest reign In British history. And this is his philosophy of life: "I never worried and I never grieved. I worked until I was tired, and slept in unbroken rest until it was "time to work again. It is those who sit brooding over their misfortunes who grow old before their time, and a whole night's sorrowing has sever pot a copper into any man's pocket or made a misfortune lighter to bear." Concerning his personal habits, he says, "I got drunk twice in my life—once through my own fault and m e * through the fault of others; and I was so dreadfully ill afterward that ft was not dlfiteult to keep sober with tfcat reoMBtsrance on my mind." There ECESS1TY ever has and always will be the mother of invention. it Is evident that previous to the latter part of the sixteenth century the naUonB of the old world were differing widely in their opinions as to wmfe* was the proper date to recognize as tfts ••finntif «f the year. This naturally would eanse more or less difficulty in arriving at the proper time n/»r>niint«t renewing their obligations and determining the dates for holidays, feasts, etc., which were strictly observed by various kinds of religious and other organizations. In order to more clearly illustrate the state of affairs and the possibilities ot what could arjse from such a condition from which they were obliged to base their'calculations a momentary glance at history will be necessary, lu those ancient days, the friction of thought relating to these conditions well served its purpose in bringing about a much needed reform. However, like most other innovations on methods which have become stereotyped on the minds of the people by custom and long usage, it required centuries before the change was universally adopted and used as it Is at the present day. The uncertainty of accuracy in the Julian or old style method of computation of the year had long been noticed by ancient astronomers, consequently in October, 1582, Pope Gregory XIII. undertook to reform the Roman calendar. The alteration made by him created what is commonly termed the new style, which recognizes January first a3 the beginning of the year In nearly all civilized countries. After great consideration that pontiff published his calendar, by which he 'ordered that ten days should be deducted from the year 1582, by calling what, according to the old calendar, would have been the fifth of October, the fifteenth of October. 1582. ! Previous to this Spain had coinmencf ed the year for a time on March 25th, then Dec 25th, but since 1582 on January 1st. In Portugal the new style calendar was Adopted in 1582, but previously the new year came, first on March 25th, then Dec. 25th. Some provinces in Holland commenced the year at Christmas, but in others It began at Easter. In 1575 the duke of Requesens, governor of the Low Countries, ordered that it should begin January 1st. In Denmark the y£*» began January 1st, after having sometimes commenced on Christmas, and on Aug. 12th, which was the date of the feast of 8 t Tiburce. In Switzerland, In the fourteenth century the year began January 1st. It was later changed to March 25th, which continued until the adoption of the Gregorian calendar. In the greater part of Italy, during the •fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the year began at Christmas. U 1781 the Gregorian calendar was adopt- Germany, Christmas was genth. b ^ l n , of th« some places it began at Easter. The University of Cologne considered March 25th as the first of the year. The new style was adopted by the Catholics in 1584 and by the Protestants in 1700. In France, it was the custom about the ninth century to commence the year with Christmas. From the end of the eleventh century to the year 1563 it began at Easter, or rather on Holy Saturday (Easter eve). The Gregorian calendar was adopted in 1582. England and Ireland had been commencing the year on March 25th, but in 1751 it was enacted that the first of January, 1752, should be the beginning of that year, and all future years. Subjoined is a calendar from which can be determined the day of the week for any date from Jan. 1st, 1700, to Jan. 1st, 2100. To find the day of the week for any date.* Look under the columns for years, and locate the given year; then, in the same line to the right, In the column under the desired century, you will find the index number. Then locate the desired date. If it is in January or February, leap year, or otherwise, always be careful to look In tho column under the right month. After having found your date, look in tho same line to the right in the columns for days of the week, and In the column which is headed with your index number you will find the dealred day of the week. Example: What was the day of the-week January 1, 189S? Under column for years we find 98; then to the right, under 1800, we find index number 2; then to the right of January 1st, in column headed with 2, we find Saturday. G. W. CUNNINGHAM.

The myriad lights their radiance shed around, And tripping feet and blithe and happy hearts Are keeping time to music's sweetest eound. Darkness without holds his unbending sway. Save where the twinkling stars shine out above, On child of poverty as child of wealth, Upon the outcast too, with eyes of love. Little think they within the portals grand Of her who stands without the stately gate; Little they uream what weary weight of woe One tithe of all their riohes eoiih) abate. Poor wanderer, crouching a t the rloh man's door, Watching with longing eyea the scene of mirth, Thy worn and pallid face a story tells, Sorrow has been thy dreary lot on earth. From ouvly morn till midnight hour rings out The same old tale of poverty and grief, Fierce hunger gnawing at the aching heart; She oft has prayed grim i!?ath to send relief. O, ye within the pale of wealth and power, 4 Forget not those v/ho cower at your gate. Mayhap the wretch who humbly begs her bread, In days long since gone by, was, like thee, great. Think, stated bollc, before whose Bway ail bow, Mayhap the wretched woman gazing there Was once the worshiped of a lofty home, Of fairest forms was once most fair. None knoweth what thy future lot may be; Perhaps the beggar crouching at thy door May give to thee tho longed-for crust of bread, The balm of hope into thy heart may pour. And ye within your stately dwellings here, Forget not those who atand without .THE HOPS OF TflE CONTINENT. the pale, And you with all the joys of home and j friends. "* Remembor those without the pleasant vale. For one above loolis lclndly down on all, On rich and poor alike, where'er they be: And He who bids LM give to those who ask Will make thy giving doubl/ blest to thee. € U Q « < U tha Mllr«ud litufcet of v. ih« Kiuplr*" ^T The *Ueutloc .directed to the wheat fields or western Canada during the, pact yoar h«s <KUMftd thousands of settiers from dltterant parts of tae United Sinics to make thoir homes there during the past few months. They report that their experience corroborates what had been told them of that vonderlul country, and they are sending back to thoir friends moat favorable reports. During the past BMminer a nurriber of Wisconsin^ Michigan and Minnesota editors vialtod western Canada, and the following extracts are from a very flattering letter ^written? for the Gormania tff Milwuuhee by Its able contributor, Prof. Sheridan: "The numerous elevators along, the line, towering HO far above the surrounding country that they may be seen for many miles distant, Biilllciently indicate that thq chief industry ia the growing of wheat. At the village of Indian Head more than a million bushels of wheat were marttetea last year. This was but a fraction, of the amount of the same product marketed at the larger cities of I3r;mtlon and Kegina. At Indian Head the representative of the Germanla was told by a farmer thnt he was about to harvest his third crop of wheat from the farm upon one ploughing given it the fall of U95, the cropB of the Current year and of last year having been sown upon the stubble of the preceding crop. This farmer expected a yield of not less tlmn forty bushels to the acre. The. farina are very large. The absence of hills and rocks contributes to making farming on a large scale an easy matter. There was an abundance of evidence that the country surrounding tha cities named above is an extensive region of fertile lands, furnishing as great an opportunity for cattle-raising and dairying as "for the growing of wheat." "We were Burprlsed to find here a rich growth o! m»wl5* every species of cultivable plant known In Wisconsin. Various species of trees were growing, showing that its soil and Its ellmute are favorable to the growth.of forests. The writer bad never aeon a more ifc growth of wheat, oata, and vegetables than was observed here. 'The experimental farm of Wisconsin, located ut Madison, produces notbhig better." "The people along the Hue of Itie railroad, however, assured us that we were iui:l far distant from the northern liMiiL of the wheat-growing beit, and that rive hundred mileti fartlur north wheat and othor agriculture; proau«:i.s were cultivated wkli The inhabitants do not depend upon th« K-owing of wiieat, but utilize vast acves in raising cattle.

Three men bad tied down and gagged the farmer and bis two maid servants, and had rifled the house at their leisure. There were two clewa. In the struggle one of the men had left a button from his coat behind, and he had also had his fac«a so severely scratched by one of the maids that the girl said "she waa sure she had left her mark upon him." Weeks passed without any arrest being made, and people began to forget the burglary, until one day a man was arrested at Liverpool. He had with him a bundle containing some of the plunder of the farmhouse. His face bore traces of scratching, and, to clinch the matter, his coat wanted a button, and the buttons on it corresponded exactly with "that picked up at the scene of the burglary. HIB defense wa3 very flimsy. "He knew nothing about the burglary, but had bought the coat and things very cheap off a man in the street." He accounted for the scratches by saying that he was a sailor, and had in that capacity much rough work to do. There was no defense; the Jury found a verdict of "guilty" without leaving the box, and the prisoner was asked if he had anything to say.' "Well, cap'n," he said, "it's hard to be convicted for noth'n. I know no more of this burglary than a baby; when it happened I was flghtin' the slavers on the Gold Co^st." There was something In the man's manner that impressed the judge, so he Bald, not unkindly: "But surely, prisoner, if your story Is true, you mu6t have friends and comrades with whom you could have communicated? It is too late now." "You's r!ght, cap'n; it's too late. I couldn't communicate with them anyhr far I '!on't know where they are. Thf may t-« in America, or they may be at the Care." "But," urged the judge, "the court has no wish to convict a man who may be innocent. Is there no one who could spe&k for you?" The prisoner looked in a hopeless sort of way round the court. "No," he began; but Just then his eye lighted on a man in thesfcourt. "Yes," he added pointing to him/Hhere is a gentleman who might speak for me If he would." The judge looked in the direction of the individual pointed at. "Do you know the prisoner?" he asked. "No, my lord," was the reply. "I never saw him before in my life." "Well, Captain Sharpe," said the prisoner, "I know you well enough." "Is your name Captain Sharpe?" asked the judge. "Yes, my lord," came the reply.

The captain went into the box, and the following dialogue ensued: "Are you Captain Sharpe of the war ship Vulture?** asked the prisoner. "Yes." ( "Were you in command of her on the slave coast this spring?" "I was." "And wasn't I one of the crew?" "Most certainly not." . "Bat, cap's, don't you remember the slave ship that you boarded?" "And yon yourself led the boarders?" "Oh, yes; but all that is nothing— yon may easily have heard of or read all about that" "Well, but cap'n, once more don't yo« remembef the big black slaver who wag almost cutting you down? Dont yon remember the one man who stood between yon and death, and what he got for It? Don't yon remember, that?" And, brushing back his hair, the stteoner showed a great scar down one side of his head. The whole court looked on breathless as the captain stared & the scar and at the man ttn his eyes seemed starting from his head. At length, as tf In s dream, ho mattered to himself: "Good Is It poasibler slowly he mt o»t of the wltnent %ot *»«* clambered Into,the dock where he seized the prisoner's hand, and, turning to the judge, said: "My lord, this was the best man in my crew and he saved my life. Providence has sent me here to save him. He is so changed by illness that I could not recognU* him. But there is no mistake now. If you Imprison the old bo'aun of the Vulture you must take the captain with him." Amid cheers and sobs that no one cared to suppress the judge briefly directed the Jury to reconsider their verdict, which they at once did, finding a unanimous "Not guilty." As they left the town Captain Sharpe might have been heard addressing hifl companion somewhat as follows: "Well, old man, we pulled through that business pretty well, I think. It was a near shave, though.** "Captain Sharpe" was nothing less than a confederate, and he had assumed the part of captain to save his companion in crime.—London Evening News. QUEER BURIAL PLACES. The most extraordinary of all burial requests v a^ that of the celebrated Jeremy Bemham. The great philanthropist and exponent of the doctrine of utilitarianism, dying in 1832, left directions that his body should be dissected and that the skeleton should be put together and after being clothed in his old vestments should be seated in a sort of glass house on wheels. The first part of the program was performed by his faithful disciple, Dr. Southwood Smith, who, in endeavoring to preserve the head, deprived the face of all expression. Seeing this would not do for exhibition purposes, Dr. Smith had a model made in wax by a distinguished French artist, who succeeded in producing a most admirable likeness. The skeleton was then stuffed out to fit Bentham's own clothes, and the wax likeness fitted to the trunk. The figure was placed seated on the chair In which he usually sat, with one hand holding the walking-stick which was* his constant companion in life, called by him (like a dog), "Dapple." The whole was inclosed in a mahogany case, with a glass front, covered by folding doors, and presented to University college, where It can be seen in the south gallery of the college museum. The strange request of Anthony Ettericke, who was a prominent lawyer and once recorder of Poole, is noteworthy. Having some cause of offense against the people of Wimborne, England, in which town he lived, he declared that he was to be burled in a consecrated spot, but not above nor below the ground, not in the church nor out of it. To make certain that this was done he got permission to build a coffin into the wall of Wimborne minster, eo that It is half in the church ana half out, half above the ground and half below it. To do this a special arch had to be made, and for the repair of this arch and the coffin Anthony Ettericke gave to the church a sum of 20 shillings from a farm. To bury him the wall of the church level with the pavement waa opened and the body deposited in the coffin as described. It is of slate and is emblazoned with many coats of arms. There are t«o «fcites on it—1691 and 1703—one over the other, eo as to render both almost unreadable. He was fully convinced that he should die in 1691 and had' his coffin made and that dale placed upon it. But he did not Aletill 1703, and so the second date was cut over the first. \ The Origin of "Coekta.lL** Pew people, says a writer in Pearson's London Weekly, are aware of the origin of the magic American word "cocktail," the mere utterance of which is sufficient to bring a look of happiness to the features of any well conditioned American citizen. The word comes from Mexico, where pulque, a kind of liquor obtained from the cactus, is the national tipple. The Aztec word for pulque is pronounced "octel," and the American army which, tinder Gen. Scott, invaded Mexico some fifty years ago, corrupted the word' into "cocktail," and carried it back to the United States. There is a tradition IJaajt pulque was discovered by one of Ifoikezuma's nobles, who sent it to the emperor by the hand of his daughter Octel. The monarch tasted the liquor, looked at the maiden, smiled, and thereupon gulped it down. It not only tickled his palate-, but touched his heart, and ft is reported that he married the girl. From that day to this the Mexicans have kept themselves well supplied with pulque, and when drinking together Invariably look and smile at one another before swallowing. Yankees, the writer tells his English readers, have adopted a similar custom when imbibing their whisky, and frequently, when desirous of Inviting a friend to take a drink, ask him to take a "smile."

Alum baking powder leaves a bitter taste in the bread or cake and food pre* pared with it dries up quickly. The severest tests were imposed at the World's Columbian Exposition and the California Midwinter Fair, where Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder eclipsed all competitors.

Seto n K&rr' s la«t exploration ot Somaliland, which convinced him he had discovered the real Garden of Eden. Maj. Karr fcs now on his way from Aden further to examine the locality, and prove thoroughly that his view is correct. Writing to the London Times, Mr. Markham Adams brings forward several arguments to support Maj. Karr. As long ago as 1890 Mr. Adams suggested, not, indeed, Maj. Earr's exact part of Somaliland, but the immediate adjoining plateau of Central Africa, as the cradle of the human race. Ue then pointed out: "The territory of Eden wae not a district through which four rivers had their full course, but was essentially a watershed containing a single river and four 'heads.' And thus it exactly corresponds with the great basin of Central Africa, containing the single river, the Shari, together with the heads of the four great rivers, the Zambesi, Xiger, Nile and Congo, as described by Mr. Stanley in his paper before the Berlin conference. "Again, the garden was not identical with Eden itself, with which it is so frequently confounded, but was situated in the eastern part of it, and thus exactly corresponds with the magnificent 'paradise' or park, 'covering 3,000 square miles of the most gloriously beautiful lands in the world/ full of ail kinds of animal life, which the same author (Stanley) describes as beheld from the rocky eminences which lie to the eastward of the central basin. "Among all the innumerabel pretenses at identification, in how are these three simple, but absolut essential, features, the single river, watershed, ever recognised, far less filled? Nor are thc&faior charac lstics leas lH Before she married Dr. Joseph Muir Mtuss Edla, daughter of the late Senator MoPherson, of New Jersey.'used to put in considerable time cultivating her muscle. She i* a good oanswoman, can run half a mile in creditable time. iwtnjg*7 Indian olub* like a professional and i* quite handy with boxing gloves. The retired boxer who gave her instruction io the manly art never had occasion to complain that Miss McPherson did nor hit hard enough, and often %* pity the fellow on h*» fair; pupil might knd her ciean-hitting right Since her marriage Mrs. Muir has wisely in a measure kept up her egwtematie exercise, though notgrrtngsomnch time to it aa tn former days. She ha* ju*4 gone through an experience which amply repay* her for the many hours «be ha* devoted to boxing. A week ago aae discharged James KM ting, her colored butler, Keating persisted in hanging around the sftabl* in the rear of Dr. Muir's residence, at 41 West IVorty-sixth street, New York, though* warned by hi* former employer to keep sway. The other evening, cay* the Chicago Chronicle, he tried to force his way into the house, efter ringing the front doorbell. Xh. and< Mrs. Muir were sway at the time, but were informed of Keating^ behavior on their return. The doctor was- calted to see a patient, and dnring his absence Mrs. Muir ww her former butler standing outside, 8bewent out "and advised him to go away, as he would be arrested if he remained until the doctor returned. For reply the negro struck at her with his clenched flat. Mrs. Muir's. training with the glovee at once came to her rescue. * She jumped back, and ae Keating made a rush she shot out her right straight from the shoulder. The bunch of fives landed full on Keeping's nose and ho went down in a heap. Opinio n of W. A. Roebiing , Wbo Built Brooklyn Bridge.

Among the 7& guests were Gen. lJutterneid and Capt. Mahan. In response to the toast, "Our Present Colonial Policy," Gen. Butterfield advocated strongly a military colonial policy. He said in part: "Unless we want to accentuate the present allsufficient abuses of our political system and stimulate corruption by endowing ignoxance with power we shall not tolerate the idea that Hawaii, Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines, or even Alaska are to be erected into states of this union. Within the sound of my voice are those who will live long enough to see the day when, if these foreign races are admitted as states, one branch alone—the Asiatics—tinder a moderately close political division of our own people, could hold a balance of power in Congress. To govern with the military arm is the only sound, practical solution of the problem. It will need no large army to properly garrison our Asiatic and West Indian possessions with the aid of our magnificent navy, of which we are so justly proud, and which we must and win maintain.** Capt. Mahan indorsed Gen. Butterfield's suggestion in his toast, "The Army and Navy." WILL GE T ENGLIS H HUSBANDS . A MAN WITH MILLIONS . Frank Gould Attains Hia Majoritynnd Secnrea Hia Portion of Hia Father'* Estate. Frank J. Gould, youngest son of Jay Gould's six children, was 21 years old the other day, and received a fortune of $10,000,000 , his share of his father's estate. Miss* Helen Gould, sister and guardian of the young man, telephoned from Albany her congratulations. She is there to defend the good name of their father, and also to prosecute the aged Mrs. Elizabeth Cody for perjury. Frank Gould lives with his sister at Undhurst, Irvington.

"What is needed at present is a recalculation of the loads and weights of the bridge, so as to determine the present margin of safety in the main parts of the structure, such as cables and anchorages. I have flo fear of the cables. They still have ample strength nnd could pull up the anchorage with ease." Bridge Commissioner John L. Shea, when shown Engineer Roebling's letter said: "Engineers have thoroughly gone over the subject and reported that there is not the slightest danger." HUNTIN G HIDDE N TREASURE .

The result was a difference of $10,000 in favor of American steel. KAISE R DISAPPOINTED . The Squalor and Undignified st Jerusalem Shatters tae Deareat Illusion of Hia Heart. Disapmpre^ by his through the aal» of part erf his land. Fear of being robbed indaatd* Mr. Bertrand to bury the money, and he immediately proceeded to forget the place of interment. During the few remaining year* of his life he was unable to recall the spot where- he consigned the treasure, though he believed it to be tinder an apple tree- in the orchard. Like the mythological treasure of Cap!. Kidd, Joseph. B*rtrand'» fortune has been, sought for by hundred* of people. Every foot of! the ground in. the oM orchard has been upturned, and all the magic devices known have been pressed into use to* locate the burial place of the gold and) diver. But it still remains In it* place of concealment, defying the persistent efforts exf searchers. The fortune is not a myth, but was actually buried by Mr. Bertrand, and there are witnesses of this fact still living, today. It amounts to thousands of dollars, and perhaps some day it may be found. A dispatch from Berlin says: point-ment was the dominant sion left in the kaiser's mind visit to the holy land. His address to the Evangelical clergy of Bethlehem, now first published, candidly expressed that feeling. He said: "To> describe the impressions of the last few days, I must say that I am, above all things, very disappointed. *'I did not want toeay that here, but as I have heard that my court chaplain felt the same thing I will not keep it from you. "It may be that the unfavorabel approach to the town of. Jerusalem contributed to this, but when state of thing*fr*t holy goe* oo there it cuts divided. "They must be prevented, evaa DJ fbrce, from quarreling with one another at this sacred spot." The emporor ha*, said since tie return: "My visit to Jerusalem ha* shattered the dearest Illusion of my hearf. Its squalor and undignified1 decay are indescribable." GIVE S FORTUN E TO CHARITY .

The Buccleugh and Boxburghs families have both been paying them noticeable attention, and it seems pretty well understood that the young duke of Boxburgfae will ask for Miss Astor's hand. The duke, who Is the eighth of his line, wae born in 1870 and succeeded his father in 1892. His name la Henry John Innes-Ker, and he la a lieutenant in the royal horse guards. Miss Astor is staying at Floors castle, Kelno, Boxburgtahire, the ancestral home of the Roxburghes on the border, and it U not unlikely that she will make her debut at court as a peeress. The duke of Roxburgbe' s two uncles, unole-in-law and cousin all married American •rirls. Tbro«a*h the French Embaiir It 8«ekf to Obtalm Illvatratlona of O«r Armr Hospital Device*. The French embassy has submitted to the state department a request from the Spanish branch of the Red Cross society illustrations and explanations of all the surgical, medical and humane devices used by the United States to alleviate the horrors of war. This Spanish society is not a government in* stitution, although it ha& operated during the recent war undeT the patronage of the queen regent of Spain. A request similar to this has* been made of all other governments, the purpose being to publish a volume showing* the advances made the world over in caring for the- wounded and sick, and'in meeting the many distressing situations arising from a condition of war. A full set of illustrations' ia desired ot the American field hospitals, ambulance trains, stretchers, surgeons' outfits and the manifold requirements and conveniences of the military and naval surgeons' bureaus. Am there is n» impropriety in giving* foreign nations full Information on the humane methods in use by our forces, the request doubtless will be granted. Sailor Bors T*«*ht to Sims. One of the most curious Institutions connected with the British navy is the office of "inspector of singing." On all training stdp* the boys are instructed in singing, by tutors, w*o receive •bou t $50 a year for the service. On each of the ship* there i» a tonic sol fa class, where the boy* are taught to sing patriotic a ire.

The embassies' in Washington are now those from Great Britain, Italy, Germany, France, Russia and Mexico* and Turkey and Austria are expected soon to raise their ministers- to the rank of ambassadors. This action from a diplomatic point of view Is taken to be Indicative of the new importance of the United Sta/tes , as ambassadors are only accredited to what the diplomats call countries. Woman Donate * He r Wealth Before Death t o Avoid Litigation. George C Thomas, the treasurer of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary society of the Protestant Episcopal church, was surprised lately to receive a gift to the society of about $40,000. The owner is a woman about 80 years old. In order that there might be no dispute over her estate in case of her death she determined to make her offering to the cause of missions during her lifetime and under these conditions: 1. That no public mention should be made of her name in connection with the donation and that it should be kept a profound secret. 2. That the money should not be hoarded, but that it should be used where it will do the most good, at such a time and in such a manner as should be deemed expedient, without the slightest restriction. Before bestowing the gift the unnamed donor retained a sufficient sum of her estate to place herself beyond the pale of want during the course of her remaining yeans. I DEBU T OF MIS S SARTORIS .

A loud wail is going out from fashionable dressmakers of London about what they term a reprehensibel habit of titled and wealthy women.

The minority of the house committee on military affairs have filed their report la opposition to the Hull bill for the increase of the regular army to 100,000 men. wThe minority claims that auch a ttaudinj? army would in time of peace be a menace to the liberty of citizens, tnd in time of war would not be sufiieicnt to meet successfully the armies of the first class powers of the world; that a large standing army is not a oeoessity; that the Hull bill will cost b&e people annually the sum of $150,- 000,000 and as $145,O00,ODO are being annually paid to the soldiers of the jlvil war and the war with Spain, a permanent charge of 9205,000,000 would be placed upon the people of the United States to maintain the military establishment alone, to say nothing of thy nary; that the passage of this bill means the practical destruction of the national guard and tho volunteer troops of the states; that it is well uuderstood that the great corporate interests of the country are demanding large standing army for most obreasons, and a President dominby such interests would have, j such a standing army, the means lit Ids hand to invade tho liberties of the people, to suppress freedom of speech and to desecrate the ballot box itself. The minority offer a substitute for the Hull bill which provides for a permanent standing army of 30,000 enlisted men—about the number in the army before the war with Spain. It also provides for 50,000 volunteers to be taken from the states and territories in proportion to population; these volunteers are to be mustered out within two years from date of the passage of the act, their organization to be the same as that of the regular army. Volunteer organizations now in service to be given preference as to re-enlistment AH .volunteers now in the service of the United States to be mustered out within 60 days from the passage of this act I Ik ••'&••• r ; •' ' • * • JK.A. Serious doting at Havana. The American troops were fired on in Havana by rioters. The whole city is in an uproar. A detail of Co. M, Tenth United States infantry,' while ^quelling a riot which broke out on Bombay street, was fired on. The regulars returned the fire, and sent volley after volley into ;the~ crowd ot rioters. Two Spanish sailors were wounded and a Spanish marine was killed by the Americans. A number of other persons were also wounded in the melee which caused the interference of the American troops. Three Cubans were fatally injured. Several Spaniard* who were carried away by friends were wounded, but it is not known how seriously. None of the American soldiers were wounded. The. whole population is in a state of unrest—the Spanish residents fearful, the Cubans eager to do something to show they have gained their freedom, mot* are constantly occurring and the wounded may be numbered by the score. Bands of Cubans freely ent& the residences of Spaniards, call upon them to hoist American and Cuban flags and to shout "Viva Cuba libre," and terrify them with their machetes. The Spanish troops still further contracted their lines and withdrew to Abe extremity of the peninsula on h^e city of Havana is built.

Justin S. Morrill, was born in Stafford, V t , April 14, 1810, and in early life he was a merchant and later an agriculturist. He was elected to the house of representatives in the 34th congress and for four succeeding terms. He was transferred to the senate March 4, 1867.

All powders sold at twenty- five cents or less a pound are sure to be made of alum. Dr. Wiley, the Government Chemist, in his official examination of baking powders at the World's Fair, threw out all "alum powders," classing them as unfit for human food. But the World's Fair could approve as well as condemn.

Albert Crossie. aged 16, living in Chesterfield township, Macomb county, was accidentally killed while out hunting. While climbing a fence, the hammer ot his gun caught, discharging the load into his right shoulder, indieting a terrible wound. The young man managed to walk to his home, 300 yards distant, where he soon bled to death. It developed that the family was in dire poverty and that the boy was out hunting to secure food tor the family, who were too proud to ask aid.

Rolling over on the hillside, he lay still, shot through th« forehead. No more "lightning rum" would he dlspenqe at the charge of one shilling per "nobbier;" no more unwary bushmen would, he waylay and rob of their hardearned cheques! Sullivan's long career of vice was closed forever and now fce would have to settle a longer score than ever he Lad chalked up against .hfs customera in all his life—a score finch as rogues of his type never expect to be called upon to pay. "Come on, ladsl" cried the trooper. "Fire; but spare the woman if you can." At that moment tue door was thrown open nud a woman appeared, firing five or six Bhots from a revolver upon the besieging party. Rushing into close quartera, and firing at random, the hut was speedily rained possession of, and then tlie fight was over. Stretched upon the floor in a corner, shot through the heart, lay Tom Baynes; while leaning against the wall beside him stood the woman, mortally wounded, but still at bay. Wtth a yell of triumph William Luke threw himself upon the dead man; but suddenly he drew back with an exclamation of intense amazentcnt. Then he tore opea the woolen shirt upon the body. "Good heavens.** he cried, "it's a woman; and, as I Jive, it ia Anne Dodgon!" The rest of the men crowded into the hut, a»4 a hush of horror fell upon them, while the hunted creature leaning against the wall watched them and clutched at the rongh l»ark slabs in the agony of death, presently gnsping— "Yes, yes—it la Anne Dodson; true to me—true to the last! You've won the game, Bill Luke; you will get the reward; but I, Edward Rartlett, will JPeyer_hang for the murder of your brother, or—^or—the oia tifan at Fiuy- Th« coins—the gold coins—they are buried—buried beneath—— Ah!" As the voice ceased the woman's black wig slipped and fell off; there was a dull gurgling sound as of one struggling for breath, and, with a wild glance around him, Edward Bartlett fell forward, across the body of the girl who had loved him, dead! EPILOGUE. It may be stated here that the incidents in this stery are chiefly founded upon facts. The following are the facts: In the year 1 8 ^ a large sheep-owner in the colony of Victoria engaged a •married couple for hit station, which was situated some hundreds of miles from the coast, far np In the interior. The man, who gave his name as Edward Dent, proved a sober and industrious fellow, and a smart man at his work. He was a capital plough-man, amongst other qualifications, and took several prizes for ploughing at neighboring contests. He was a most agreeable "mate," and was universally liked by all the otfcer m«n on the place, being of a Mvely disposition and a first- ' rate concertina-player. The latter accomplishment Is much prized up in the bush, where there is such a scarcity of amusement His extraordinary affection for his wife wan particularly noticeable. He would not allow feer to do anything in the way of manual labor, and after his day's work was done he was always to be seen chopping up the wood for the house and carrying up the next day's supply of water from the creek—ia fact, doing all those little things which most men out there generally leave their wits* to 4o. Edward Dent and his wife remained upon this ttation for nearly eight yeas*, out one lay, much to his master's annoyance, he gave notlee to leave. He Ranted to hotter,himself, tie said, and had an' Idea of trying the gotd mines for a cTxange. For about eighteen months the sentleman %' Wfeose employment fee ha* been heard nothing of him. One day, kowever, as bewa* •troUte* d**ra Collins Bptt* la ifefbouriM, he met Edward Dent; an! aooostsff h i * ' He mottesd tnt*%ttawu drewd to the -I sorry," hi rsssarkt*, ""ttoo see you wtta apoa yo«, M n r i Yo« • n ••JL "A* sir,- *tpU«4 Mack tUHkm **i —rttoUr nimt ts» been for her. "And what bare you been doing of late?" "I have been working in the Ballarat mines," he replied—"doing fairly well. By-the-by, air, you will be surprised to hear that I am shortly going to be married again. I cannot bear the solitary life I am leading now after the happy years I hare experienced. I am going to marry my late wife's Bister." Tn Victoria marriage with a deceased wife's sister is legal. Some six months ftfter this meeting the gentleman received a message from -JEdward to come and see him. He had met with an accident, having fallen from a ladder in one of the mines, and was an inmate of the Ballarat hospital. Upon arriving at the hospital the gentleman found to his distress that he v.as too late. Edward Dent was dead. And now a fact transpired that quite overwhelmed him with amazement The medical evidence went to prove that the skilled laborer who for eight years had worked upon his estate, and who had undertaken the arduous toil of gold-mining for the last two years, was a woman. What became of Edward's second wife was never known—she disappeared. Such are the facts. Whether the commission of some great crime in another land had led to the woman's thus concealing her identity is a matter which jnust for ever remain a mystery. THE END. A SUNKEN CITY. In the beautiful harbor of Kingston, Jamaica, a few fathonn under water, sleeps the sunken city of Port Royal, which was destroyed by an earthquake in 1692. On a cloudless, etill day, when the surface of the sea is perfectly smooth, the ruins of the phantom city may be plainly seen in, the depths of the transparent water. The spire of toe old cathedral 1B the water you can see the fishes lazily swimming in and out among the ruined turrets, more suggestive of owls and bats than of the flnny Inhabitants of the sea. Occasionally glimpses can be had of the ruins of other building's— buildings which for more than two centuries have kept their ghastly secrets and will keep them until the end of time. Down there, In that peaceful depth, lie the bones of three thousand men, women and children, carried down into the sea with their homes on that awful June day in 1«92. An earthquake, suddenly and without warning, smote the profligate city of *Port Royal, which" sld into the sea. The waters opened and swallowed it up, and there, beneath the silent waves, was hidden the wickedness and debauchery of a community described by historians as being almost without parallel. After the earthquake the town was rebuilt, only to be completely destroyed by fire in 1703. On August 22, 1722, it was swept into the sea by a hurricane. It waa once more reconstructed, but again, in 1815, it was reduced to ashes, and as recently as l£S0 it was visited by another hurricane. Every disaster was attended by great losg of life. , v The city of Port Royal was originally bnilt upon a* narrow strip of land extending out into the, sea, which accounts for its strange disappearance at the time of the earthquake." Like the house of the foollshman of Biblical lore, which was bullded upon the. sand, it literally slid into the water when the earthquake shock came. Previous to that fateful 7th day of June, 1692, Port Royal had been known as "the finest town^in the West Indies, and the richest spot in the world." It was, as it now is, a British colony, but there was little either In its governjnent or its customs of British morality. We are told that, it was a place of luxurious debauchery; that In their excesses the colonists rivaled the profligates of ancient Rome. Buccaneering and piracy were recognised industries. The treasure ships of spate were legitimate prey. The riches of ICexloo and Pam were levied vpoa, ao4 the people of Jamlea were literally veUlag la wealth ajkd aaleaa^op* Viet aa4^4eoa«caery aeM sway, Baeehaaaliaa rerata vrhtoh aigat put to ejurthqiMke. The thundtr of the elements sounded in the ears of tht heedless revelers. Tbo earth opomed in groat natures, and closed again like the jaws o< a mighty trap, And In dosing It gripped many of its Tictlms in the middle, leaving their hands aboYe ground. Then eamo the awful sliding, grinding aolse of the city, built upon its foundations of sand, sank Into the caressing embrace of the sea, which forever closed upon its wickedness and will forever keep its dread secrets. The shock came close on to midday. The air was hot and sultry. The sky was without a cloud. A great stillness seemed to hover over the city, and then, without warning, the earth trembled. Men and women left their houses and ran into the streets, only to meet death in the bowels of earth or in the hidden recesses of the sea. In his "Annals of Jamaica," published in 182S, Rev. George Wilson Bridges quotes from a letter written by one of the survivors—a rector—two or three days after the disaster, which is in part as follows: After I bad been at church reading, which I did every day since I was rector of this place, to keep up some show of religion, and was gono to a place hard by the church where the merchants meet, and where the president of the council was, who came into my company and engaged me to take a glass of wormwood wine as a whet before dinner, he being my very good friend, I stayed with him, upon which he lighted a pipe of tobacco, which he was pretty long in taking, and not being willing to leave him before It was out, this determined me from go- Ing to dinner to one Captain Roden's, whither I was invited, whose house, upon the first concussion, sunk into the earth, and then into the sea with his wife and family, and somo that were come to dine with him. Had I been there I had been lost But to return to the president and his pipe of tobacco; before that was out I found the ground rolling under my feet, upon which I said to him, 'Lord, air, what is that?' He replied, being a very grave man, 'It is an earthquake. Be not afraid; it will soon be over/" Despite the president's assurance, he disappeared, and was never heard of again. Continuing, the rector wrote: "1 made toward Morgan's Fort, because I thought to be there securist from falling houses, but as I was going I saw the earth uueu and swallow up a mnltitude of people, and the sea mounting in upon them over tba fortifications. Moreover, the large and famous burying ground was destroyed, and the sea washed away the carcasses. The harbor was covered with dead bodies.floating up and down. OXJB BUDGET OF FUH. 8OMB GOOD JOKES.

One of the most serious criticisms made of the department of agriculture several years ago by eastern newspapers concerned the money it had spent in bringing "lady bugs" from Australla to "infest" California and Florida orchards. But the lady bug (Novius eardinaliB) turned out to be one of the most satisfactory importations ever made Jrom the Antipodes, its habit of preyiag on the scale that was blight- i ing fruit trees being the means of saving to this state and Florida their principal landed industries. Now it appears that the little insect has performed a like office for the citrus groves of Portugal. Specimens sent to Lisbon from this state in 1896 have taken hold of the scale and are exterminating i t Though but few of the parasites survived the long journey by rail and sea, their immense fecundity enabled them in the course of two years to populate the groves with millions of their kind. As a result Portugal will be able soon to again compete with Spain and Sicily for the orange and lemon trade of Europe. The success of the effort to eradicate the scale pest oughc to be the means of keeping the department of agriculture flush in funds for parasitical research. It would be worth millions of dollars every year to this country to find a natural foe of the potato bug, of the curious peats that afflict growing hops and'of insects that make a pasture of the bodies of domestic animals and poultry. If every bane has its antidote and every flea "has smaller fleas to bite 'em," the bringing of jbo two together Is a proper function of government. The way it has workea In the matter of scale pests, and. the distance to which the search for the neans of exterminating them has gone, certainly tends to encourage efforts, however eostly. along related lines. But it is 4 quest ia which si! government* s»ay property hear a part with reference to their o v a eato- A Likely One. U CUve Gen.

In the same line is an article, also in the January Cosmopolitan, how Mr. Plafct orgonized aud conducted the campaign for the election of Roosevelt.

It Is urged by some sticklers for regularity that there is no precedent for a congressional vote of thanks to a -woman, and that it is not well to make a beginning in the case of Miss Helen •ould , as proposed by General'Whee-l er. The answer to these objections is that Miss Gould's patriotic munificence also went beyond precedent. Extraordinary service Justifies extraordinary requital. TALHAWS SESSION . The United States are now in a position to make a movement in favor of the protection of private property at sea in time of waf, and its first action ia its new position among the nations ooulfl not be a bitter one than to invite a conference on the subject, with a view to a mutual agreement on a new law of nations whereby private property on the high seas shall be made exempt from seizure or detention in time of war. Peaceful ships on peaceful missions should not be molested, and tfc« general adoption of a resolution to this effect would mitigate at lesst one of the horrors of war. The United States of Brazil earns tato existence on November 15, 1889. The day is a holiday, of course, in the southern republic, and this year it was a particularly Joyous one, because the American battleships Oregon and Iowa stopped at Rio de Janeiro on their'way to Manila, and helped celebrate. That was a natural, graceful and polite thing to do. In an emergency Brazil sold the New Orleans and otter good ships to this country, and did not try to take advantage; she was conspicuously friendly in varim* ways, while some other South American republics ware marling at their big neighbor and longing to bite. Moreover, battleship* are never better employed than whoa they servt as the medium of courtesies that tend to cement friendship with such a brave, wise, progressive peqple as tho Brazilians. _ t>_. . .

The cradle of the Infant Jesus had no rockers; for it wss not to he soothed by oscillating motion, as are the cradles of other princes. It had BO canoisy, for it was not to be hovered over by anything se exquisite. It had no embroidered pillow, tor the young head was not to have such luxurious comfort Though a meteor—ordinarily the most erratic and seemingly ungovernable of all skyoy appearances —had been sent to designate the place where that cradle stood, and a choir sad been sent from the heavenly temple to serenade Its illustrious occupant with an epic, yet that cradle was the target for all earthly and diabolical hostilities. Indeed, I give you as my opinion that it was the narrowest and most wonderful escape of the ages that the child was not slain before he had taken his first step or spoken his first word. Herod could not afford to have him born. The Caesars could not afford to have him born. The gigantic oppressions and abominations of the world could not afford to have him born. Was there ever planned a more systematized or v appalling bombardment In all the wrold than the bombardment of that cradle? The Herod who led the attack was Treachery, Vengeance and Sensuality impersonated. As a sort of pastime he slew HyrcanuB, the grandfather of his wife. Then he slew Mariamne, his wife. Then he butchered her two sons, Alexander and Aristobulus. Then he slew Antlpater, his oldest son. Then he ordered burned alive forty people who had pulled down the eagle of his authority. He ordered the nobles who had attended upon his dying bed to be slain, so that there might be universal mourning after his decease. From that same death-bed he ordered the slaughter of all the children in Bethlehem under two years of age, feeling sure that, if he massacred the entire infantile population, that would include the destruction of the child whose birth-place astronomy had pointed out with its finger of light What were the slaughtered babes to him, and £s many frenzied and bereft mothers? If he had been well enough to leave his bed, he would have enjoyed seeing the mothers wildly struggling to keep their babes, and holding them so tightly that they could not be separated until tbe sword took both lives at ote stroke, and others, mother and child, hurled from roofs of houses Into the street* until that village of horse-shoe shape on the hillside became one great butcher-shop. To have such a man, with associates just as cruel, and an army at his command, attempting the life of the infant Jesus, does there seem any chance for his escape? Then that flight southward for so many miles, across deserts and amid bandits and wild beasts (my friend, the late missionary and scientist, Dr. Lansing, who took the same journey, said it was enough to kill both the Madonna and the child), and poor residence In Cairo, Egypt. You know how difficult it is to take an ordinary child successfully through the disorders that are sure to assail it even in comfortable homes and with all delicate ministries, and then think of the exposure of that famous babe in Tillages and lands where all sanitary laws were put at defiance, his first hours on earth spent in a room without any doors, and ofttimes swept by chilled night winds; then afterward riding many days under hot tropical sun, and part of many nights, lest the avenger overtake the fugitive before ho could be hidden in snother land! The Sanhedrim also -were affronted at the report of this mysterious arrival ef a child that might npset all conventionalities sad threaten the throne of the nation. "8hut tbe door, and bolt it, and doable-bar It against him, cried an political and ecclesiastical power. Christ on a retreat when only a few days of age, with all the privations and hardships and sufferings of retreat! When the glad news came that Herod was dead, and the M 3 rasa was- packing up and taking her chlM home, bad news also came, that Archelaus, the son, had taken the thro— snotser crowned infamy.

Can you imagine what a scarification of the world's literature would be the removal of all Christ ever did and said? It would tear down the most important shelves, of yonder Congressional Library, and of the Vatican Library, and of British Museum, and the Berlin and Bonn and Vienna and Madrid and St. Petersburg Libraries. And St Paul's life would have been an Impossibility, and his Epistles would never have been written, and S t John, from the basaltic caverns of Patmos. would never have^heard the Seven Trumpets or seen the heavenly" walls with twelve layers of illumined crystallisation. Oh, wise men of the East! I am so glad you did not report to the imperial scoundrel at Jerusalem where the Bible was, for the bounds would have soon torn to pieces the Lamb, and I am so glad that not only did you bring tbe frankincense and the myrrh to the room in that caravansary, but that you brought the" gold which paid his traveling expenses and those of Joseph and Mary in that long and dangerous flight to Cairo, in Egypt, and paid their lodging and board there, and paid their way back again. Well enough to bring to the barn of the Saviour's nativity the flowers, for they aromatized the dreadful atmosphere of the Btables, but the gold was just then the most Important offering. So now the Lord accepts your prayers, for they are the perfume of heaven; but he asks also for the gold which will pay the expense of taking Christ to all nations. • • • I take another step forward in showing the narrow escape' you and I had and the worm had in the secretion of Christ's birth-place from the HerocUc detectives, and the clubs with which they would have dashed the babe's life out, when I say that without the life that began that night in Bethlehem, the world would have had no illumined death-beds. Before tbe time of Christ, good people closed their earthly lives in peace, while depending upon .the Christ to come, and there were antediluvian saints, and Assyrian saints, and Egyptian saints, and Grecian saints, and Jerusalem saints long before the clouds above Bethlehem became a balcony filled, with the best singers of a world where they all sing; but I cannot read that there was anything more than a quieting guess that caine to those before-Christ death-beds. Job said something bordering on tbe confident, but it was mixed up witn a story of "skin-worms" that would destroy his body. Abraham and Jacob had a little light on the. dying pillow, but compared with the after-Christ death-beds, it was like the dim tallow candle of old beside the modern cluster of lights electric. I know Elijah went up in memorable manner, but It was a terrible way to go—a whirlwind of fire that must have been splendid to look at by those who stood on the banks of the Jordan, but it was a style of accent that required mere nerve t*an you and I ever had, to be a placid occupant of a chariot' drawn by such a wild team. The triumphant death-beds, as far as I know, were the after-Christ deathbeds. What a procession of hosannas have marched through tho dying room of the_ saints of the last nineteenth centuries! What a cavalcade of mounted hallelujahs has galloped through the dying visions of the last two thousand years save one hundred! Peaceful death-beds in the years B. C-! Triumphant death-beds, for the most part reserved for the years A. D! Behold the death-beds of the Wesley*, of the Doddrldgss, of the ^Legh Richmond*; of the Edward Pay sons; of Vara, the converted heathen chieftain, crying in his last moments, "The canoe is in the sea. The sails are spread. She is ready for the gale. VJ have a good Pilot to guide me. My outside man and my inside man differ. Let the one rot till the trumpet shall sound, but let a y sooi wing her way to the throne of Jesus/' Of dying John Fletcher, who entered his pulpit to preach, though his Joctora forbade him, and then descended to the communion table, saying, "I am going to throw myself under the wings of the cherubim before the mercy seat/* thousands of people a few days after following him to the grave, singing: With heavenly weapons he has fougat tut battles of the Lord, Finished his course and kept the faith.

I shall presently stand on Mount Zloa with an Innumerable company of angels and with spirits of just men made perfect and with Jesus the Mediator of the new Covenant. Hallelujah!" Some one ought to preach a coune of sermons on triumphant Christian deathbeds, and then let some one preach a sermon on triumphant infidel deathbeds— that is, if he can hear or read of one of this latter kind. I never heard of one. Do tell us of one.- There never wag one. And had the Babe of Bethlehem died the same week in which he was born, there never would have been a triumphant Christiandeath- bed. It 1B a wonderful story of Cnrist, now rapidly filling the earth, that makes triumphant Christian death-beds. The Bethlehem Star had to jive way before th* rising Sun which was to become the noonday Sun of Righteousness. • • • Now let the Christmas table be spread.

The trip between, the two cities la one of the moat charming experiences that a traveler could ever hope tor. Some day, when the army of tourists invades the Philippines and the red guidebook and the personally conducted tour become established features, there will be pages and pages in the steamship prospectuses devoted to it. The island sea of Japan, the Thousand islands of the St. Lawrence, the castle-capped peaks of the Rhine and the beautiful .Golden Horn of Turkey will have a new rival that will keep them up nights sustaining their reputations. During the forty hours that it takes one of the small steamers cf tbe CQmpania Maritlma to make the run, the sight of land is never lost, and the scene is constantly shifting, and is always new and wonderful. Tne vessel passes by dozens of islands, every one of which is glorious in the richness of its foliage, the splendor of Its mountain sides or the dazzling whiteness J>f Its long stretch of sandy beach. Sometimes you are in a narrow channel, with great uplifts of brilliant green rising on either hand; then you are carried into an open sea, with only the blue hills of distant islands breaking the sereno horizon or clusters of waving palm trees or some lonely ntojl B-vimmlng on the skyline like a > >age ra the desert On one side ma^ ; o tbe lofty purple heights of an island mountain range, standing out against the angry, ominous blackness of the stprm clouds which seem to be everlastingly rioting in imposing tumult around the crests; on the other side may be gleaming strips of beach, with tangles of tropical verdure lining them; then long, easy slopes of rich, brilliant mountain sides fading away to a jagged skyline of distant blue. There are several volcanoes that are active, and may be marked by the hazy smoke that lifts lazily against the clouds. Just now there are very few vessels venturing on the run, for the Compania Maritima, which is a Spanish concern, has oply two of its vessels put under the American flag, and those that carry the Spanish flag are afraid to venture out of Manila or Iloiio for fear of the" insurgent steamers that lie in hiding among the coves of the archipelago waiting to dash out and seize any floating thing that showB the red nd yfH^w at it* peak. >lj«|j) liii'n*« >ABQBLL WASHttOTOfl.

There are no hotels in town, but the English residents take Americans In with a kindness and hospitality that overwhelms them. The town is almost defenseless. An old fort, which was ancient 100 years ago, commands the harbor, but it spends all.its time commanding, for there are no guns mounted in it. A line of stone breastworks extends along the beaches around the town, but they are ridiculous as protection against any force excepting infantry forces which might attack by swimming across.

Rockefeller la to erect in his burial plot In Lake View cemetery, Cleveland. The abaft'is U feet in length and Is t feet square at the base. It Is of the best quality of Vermont cm** He. This la the largest monolith ever quarried in America,. It will rest on a base composed of three boge blocks taken from the same quarry. The base atone is 14 feet square and 8 feet thick, the next block ia t feet 2 inches square and 3 feet 10 incbea thick, while the die is 6 feet 8 inches square and 7 feet thick. Tbla will give the monument a total height of 68 feet 10 Inches, making it one of the tallest monuments' erected to mark the resting place Of a private Individual anywhere in tbe country. The Rockefeller monument will also be a very costly one. Tbe monolith and its base stones will coat about 150,000 delivered on board the cars at Barre. The weight of the shaft alone is a trifle more than 100 tona and of the entire monument about 135 tons. By way of comparison it may be mentioned that the Egyptian obelisk, which is also of granite, is 70 feet in height and weighs about 206 tons. The shaft is of such great length and weight that it has been a serious problem how to get it to its destination without straining bridges and crushing roadbeds. Cars of extraordinary strength, have been built to transport this huge stone to Cleveland, and a route has been chosen which will DIE FOR THE GREAT MONOLITH, afford the most substantial roadbeds and the greatest possible freedom from sharp curves. The monolith will be almost devoid of ornament, and the only inscription on it will be the word "Rockefeller" in large raised letters. Aa IrUhmaa Who Didn't Glv« War.

Pingree'a message to the Michigan state legislature was a voluminous document, completely covering state affair* and dealing .at length with national af> ^fatra. The substance of the message is a* follows: To the Honorable the Senate and House Of Representative*: It 1* my duty and privilege to address TOU, by message, as the Chief Executive .of this state, upon such matters of state policy and state government as affect the general welfare. The needs of a great commonwealth like ours .are many. Its r.ec£s«Uiea are varied. Its Interests are the interests of over two and one-half • million* of people. We live in an age of rapid changes, and more rapid development Our state may be justly proud of Its position in the union. None has greatair possibilities. Our agricultural resources Me constantly growing in magnitude; the 1th of our forests is fast disappearing. ret a.Source of pride; our .n nerals in it and quality stand first in the union. * in Is in a better position to take ads of the great Inland merchant maje than any other Btate. It possesses II educational system unsurpassed by at ofany other state or country, which fuUy designed to develop the highest MTof American ciraenshlp. Its unlver- / , the pride of its own citlxens, is also thjB pride of the country at large, and constitutes a lasting monument to the state's devotion to learning, to art. and the scltnoos. It* cltixens are Intelligent and patriotic. Peace and good order has prevailed within It* borders. Every sign now how indicates that under the blessings of Providence, and a wise administration of the law. Michigan is about to enter upon *> new and yet greater era of prosper,- Uy and development. To this end I invite careful attention to the recommendations herein contained. (- State Institutions. In proportion with the increase of population there is an Increase in the needs and requirements of the state Institutions, Especially -of those devoted to educational / «nd charitable objects. Our asylums, de- -voted to the care of the most unfortunate wards of the state, are constantly crowdl* d. Mot having at hand the means of presenting the increase of Insanity, we can only continue to provide more room ana -additional facilities for the care and treatment of ita victims. « • The state has created%t large expense five institutions for the care of children • tund persons of tender age. The home for > ^abandoned and neglected I children, at Coldwatcr. I deem one of Its most excellent charities. The law regulating the adoption of children from this Institution .should be exceedingly stringent In projecting the rights of the natural parent. wnd this, too, before the rights of foster- /parents may lntervuie. j T h e School for the Deaf, located, at Fl nt, is one of the state Institutions that Is perhaps better known without the borders of Michigan than any other, except the unk_ —VeTtlty. Because of its excellent manageanent and most perfect system of Instruction, and of the high character and ability of Its faculty. It Is recognised as a model Institution, not only throughout the United States, but also in foreign countries. It can be truthfully said of this tochool that every graduate Is self-supportling, a statement which perhaps cannot be made concerning any similar school having an attendance equally as large. The institution for the care of juvenile offenders, .located at Lansing, Is under excellent management. Its hundreds of little Inmates are given the best substitute for a good home and parental care that the rtate can furnish. Many boys of very tender years, so young that, in my opinion, they could have but little appreciation of the fact that they had transgressed the law. find their way to it. I arrtse the adoption of such reasonable measures as Eill make It impossible for parents to ive chidren sent to this school, either because they wish to be rid of the obligation and expense of caring for them, or because they think the school presents totter facilities for training them. 1 also reconunend that every inducement for county agents and others to bring children to the home, such as the payment of mileage for bringing them here, be removed. This sy*tetn is an outrage on youth and places a premi'im on a decision against them. It seems unreasonable to punish a boy 10 or 11 years old for having {commuted an offence, even though he may not lenow whaj an offence is, and leave the parent. who has neglected his child, not only to go unpunished, but t*/"be rewarded for his* earateesneas and Indifference by ha*iaff the state clothe, feed and educate his offspring. It every caa* possible thett&te should holl the parent r;- twnntiiM* for the maintenance and e*uca»- tion of the son sent to his school. Both this institution ami the School for the Blinri a re located In this e*ty. and youwill have ample opportunity during the presort Pinion of tne legislature to beromo acquainted with th* srerk done by them. The. Home for the Feeble Minded and Epileptic, located at L*ueer. is one of the newer institutions of the State. To it* tmanafement and methods I invite your careful attention. I wHt dispense with specific recom- ,v mendatkms as to the. several institutions, except to the case of the State House of Correction and Reformatory at Ionia. This institution la legally termed a reformatory, but It* province aa sneh ha* been lost by the confinement within It of some of the most hardened criminal*, aa weUfas young and nr*t osTenaera. The law permitting the sentencing of ola and hardened crtaainais * to ft should be amended so as to prevent txd* objectionable practice, and only flmt offenders, and the younger daa* of convists should ' confined there.

WhUe these assocuttons have hetn instrumental in doing moeh good and have furnished to many persons of mod. erate moans the facilities with which to provide themselves homes, yet so extensive have become their operations that the state shotfn proceed i t once to exercise ovef* them the closest supervision. Railroads, Michigan may justly bo proud of her transportation facilities. Surrounded as it hi oy the great lakes, the tonnage of which increases with basin***. It* faoU!* tie* In this respect, through competition, have a tendency to keep down railroad rate* to a point s* low as those of any other state. Michigan has 7,800 miles of railroads, the extent havtng been Increased during the past year by the addN tlon of 200 miles. Railroad earning* have increased over those of last year fully 18 per oent. In exercising its police power over railroad corporation* the state has met with a prompt obedience to Its orders. The repeal of special charter*, granted to certain, companies when the state was new and undeveloped, is now demanded in the Interest of justice. . There has been created within this •tate a class of corporations known a* suburban railways, which do a very profitable business. Some of them are operating unuer the general railroad law of the slate, and others, are doing business under what is known aa the street railway law. They are performing in many cases the duties of steam railroad* in the carrying of freight and passengers. The police power of the state over this class of corporation* is poorly denned. RegiKatlone for the safety of persons and property carried by them have not been adopted by the state. I therefore urgently recommend that the state have the same supervisory control over the conduct of their business that it ha* 6ver that of steam railroads, and that they be placed under the supervision of the Commissioner of Railroads. Taxation. Equal taxation has ever been the para-' mount problem involved in civil government. The best thinker* in every age have grappled with the* question but as yet we are, apparently, as far from a perfect system as we were half a century ago. it is one of tne principal objects of government to equalise public burdens, and both the constitution and the law. in form, at least, contain a guarantee of it. The Question of equal taxation has become the most important question In this state and no one has ever opposed It, except the lobbyist and the special Interests benefltted. The present stste administration, by which I mean not only the state officers, but also the legislative branch of the, government, ha* been placed In power with the express understanding that some action looking to an equitable system of tax* ation be taken at once. I respectfully call attention to the recommendations heretofore made and commend them to your careful perusal, to the same extent as If the matter were embodied In this message to you upon the subject. The average rate of taxation for-an purposes In this stste, exclusive'of the special improvement tax. is not far from 2% Per cent on the dollar. The most careful research that can be made develops the fact that the rate paid by the corporations that are now taxed on their earnings or Income is about C-10 of 1 per cent. In other words, individual property pays IS upon 11,000 of valuation, while the property of those quasi-corporatlons pay $6 upon 11,600 of actual value. A continuation of this inequality is wh*41y inconsistent with the faithful discharge of our duty to the public. There is no reason why the land, buildings and other property of these corporations should be more sacred in our eyes, or should receive more favor at our hands, than the land, buildings and other property of a citizen. The question whether railroad business Is profitable, has nothing whatever to do tnnA^jtf \ftYlng U. Th i i l d erfc>' >y meann*i ioof{. a state to* that and other th* taxes when le\ th§ state treasury, pit ana. compare.th comi' taexptnai f tor anvo and good lnitt ede xin- ti With the ^ j f \ f g TJr pronT of a railroad company would have to do with the fixing of- the value of the property, but not with the system of taxation. A vacant store or dwelling is not as profitable as one rented and producing an Income, but could we. by any argument, show that a building should pay a tax upoa its earnings, because its location was unfavorable and the investment not profitable? The farmer and merchant Is not asked, whether his business is profitable when the tax levy Is made. He is confronted simply* with the statement of the state's need, accompanied by • -o state's demand for money. The argument that a different rule should apply to corporation property is the argument of the lobbyist and those specially interested. The argument that these corporations are quasipublic in their nature and are controlled, to a certain extent, by laws that are made for their government by the state wherein their tolls and rates of fare is fixed, is just as weak when used as an argument that a different system of taxation should prevail as when applied to the vacant store. These corporations, by the very reason of being quasi-public, are endowed with powers that an Individual cannot exercise. Under the right of eminent domain, they may enter upon the premises of an Individual and take his property for tbeir own use and benefit. They have the right of perpetual charters and other privileges, and the fact that they are granted these powers and privileges makes it necessary that the state, in a measure, legislate for their government—else there would be no guarantee that the property thus taken by the power granted by the state would be used in the interest of the public. ^ If the stste should exercise an authorit? over a corporation in fixing Its. tolls and throw around it other restrictions ttiat would make unprofitable the operation of the system. Its value would be thereby decreased, and it would be right to consider thte fact in fixing the value of the property. The state has never yet legislated to oppress, bankrupt or destroy the railroad corporations and hat only used its power to prohibit oppression and extortion against those of its citizens, who were unable, except under the law. to protect themselves. I —iderstand that a ails of railroad in the har> ren plains of northern Michigan is out as profitable as a mile of railroad la the thickly populated and fertile fields of WaShtenaw county. Neither Is J*» acres of poor land m the northern, part of Michigan as profitable as 110 acres of land in Wssntenaw county, but each should be taxed at what it is worth, and un4er the same system This is s J u l ask from corporations, and the people of this state will W hold him guiltless who Is willing to accept loss. X speak BOW of the methods of taxation. There should be but one rale and one taethoa in order to create aa «««•!• tty before the taxing law. 1 do not tfcat «aUroa4 aw—gty. shosUd ho taxed llooecaaUl*y Iton tthi ee ddliCffeerreon*t* t districts, for the re—on that tho great Hoc* of rattroad. having tho aaast valnasie equip*****, th* ntcot valuable right of way. as4 th« *»o*t vatwabl* franenwo* are located to th* older and more tfclek* tar populate*: portions of the state.

It i* neither necewary nor advisable to provide cumbersome or technical machinery for th* accomplishment of the desired end, J&ttstt '-ttrVrvMsw 1st* In the a**e**m*m and taxation of other properties than tho** above mentioned. Grantlnf; this to* b* true, it doe* not affect the merit* of the plan proposed. It simply oast* upon you another duty—that of readjusting the assessment law* of the state, In order that all property within th* state shall be placed upon the assessment roll at Its true value. There la no objection to having the board created for the purpose of assessing railway property, clothed with power by a separate hill, to have direct supervision of the assessment and. levy of the tax upon all property In the state. The right to tax is one of the sovereign powers of the state* The right to' regulate tslls is a police power and incident to its existence. The btate la charged with the duty of exercising its sovereignty justly under the constitution. The exercise of police power depends upon it* discretion. It must exercise rhe one to maintain" ite exigence; it inu*t use the other in a wise and proper regulation of its affairs. Under our present system we tax milroads upon their gross earnings. The method Itself a* applk-d to Interstate roads has been held by high authority to bo a tax upon interstate commerce and, therefore, void. No company has cared to test this question In the courts and the state cannot do so. But, independent of this question, the method is unjust. The tax upon the earnings or Income operates in favor of the railroad companies. When the times are hard' and the earnings smaller, the tax IK less. In the meantime the state's burdens are no less, and may, perhaps, have increased, and the relief, accorded to the railroad companies during these hard times and depression must be borne by the property owners generally. Thus, during times of depression, when the people are lees Able to pay, their burdens are increased, and just to the extent that the railroad companies' burdens are diminished. What would be the result if the state attempted to coliect the entire burden of a tax upon earnings or income? How much would the farmer or merchant have contributed from 1893 to 1897? The result would have been that the state would have received but little if any income and would have been bankrupt and unable to meet its obligations. Under a law that provides for a tax upon earning* and incomes the «tate Is at a great disadvantage. It has no way of determining what the earning* are. How this system ha* been tolerated all these years Is something I cannot understand. There must be something about great . wealth or power that affects legislators without their knowledge or belief, and it is evident that th* legislators of Michigan are no exception to the rule. At this point the governor branches off Into a series of illustrations from which he deduces the theory that the U. 8. con, gress I* central led by corruption. He also declares that In. the legtetature of Michigan the Atkinson tax equalisation bill was defeated by money and corruption. Returning to the subject of methods of taxation, he resumes: I am satisfied that' we should In some manner raise sufficient revenue for state expenses without having to apportion, a d'rect tax among the counties of the state. This system In vicious. It puts a premium on tfishoneat appraisement and permits the etronty to '••- •**— * - * -*n"-- for them, and thus tion hjr l«OT*r n posatbl*.

But it ha* invaded other field* with the power of a -glacier and th* On* by ana* (iwa Wrong. Each county is trying to keep down Its valuation In order to pay as little as possible of the state tax, and the result hr that while some counties are assessed at practically their cash value, others are only aBaetsaed at M or 60 per cent ef their cash value, and this apportionment Is frequently made worbe by the state hoard of equalization. If this apportionment were done away with there would he no object for the county to keep down it» assessment. Each country would then have to work out its own salvation, and no county would be affected by the aHsepsment in another. I am In favor of an Income tax. I believe that an Income tax. based upon a very low percentage, and to a certain extent graduated, would be a benefit to the state and would not be oppressive to anyone. Great numbers of people In this state; receiving larjre salaries, reap the benefit of our schools ana state institution* without paying a tax of any kind. I wotrfd suggest that all Incomes up to one thousand dollars be exempt from tfixatfon; that Incomes from one to two thousand deftars be taxed. Pvblte FraaeklM"—Mamlelpa] O w a - ershlp. Referring to the Immense value of street railway and ether public franchises In great cities which have heretofore been given away by common council* in spite of protests of the people, the governor recommends: (1) The passage of an act making It requisite to the validity of a franchise 1n the streets of any municipality that the ordinance granting such rights shall be voted upon and approved by citisenl. <2) The passage of an act gfvlng to the "people of any municipality the right to establish and maintain their own street*car system. The arguments in favor of municipal ownership are too many to be stated here In detail, but a few may he briefly stated: (I) The taking out of the control of the council of a matter which has always. In large pities. be*» the most fruitful source or municipal corruption, (z) The tendency of a public plant to give the greatest consideration to the lives and comfort of passenger*. <tt Tho tendency of cueh a system to confine the track* to aa few streets as possible, instead of as In the franchise system to eover ss many as possible. « ) The reductioB of fares to as low a point a* la consistent with the cost of maintenance.

The anti-trust laws of the federal government have fallen powerless before them. Constitutional restrictions have been interpreted by the courts so as practically to make those laws a dead letter, Indeed, no period of our historyhas witnessed so rapid and noxious a growth of trusts and combine* as the few years since the Congress»underteok to restrain them. Within that period we have Been new trusts organised, or old ones reorganised so as to evade the law. each of which ha* partially or entirely succeeded to the control of the manufacture and sale of the staple* in their line. Hundreds of articles are governed in their price by secret agreement* which do not make their appearance in tho form of legally organised companies. If you Inquire carefully you ".will discover that you can scarcely make a purchase In which the price I* not dictated by a combination over which the merchant you deal with has ns* control. The governor roasts the Associated Press as a combination of the great daily newspapers to cheapen the cost of collecting the new*. He bemoans the passing of the small retail merchants in our cities and towna and the advent of the giganttc department stores which swallow them* up. He then continues: • We are familiar with the arguments put forward to defend this system on its supposed merits. We are told that It is an inevitable tendency of general condition* over which there Is no human power of control.. iWe are told that the world--ts growing smaller as the means of communication and transportation are becoming more perfect, and the world requires a less and less number of persons to control affairs as Independent men, and that all the business of the human race can now be managed more efficiently from a few centers and by a few men. leaving the rest of the race nothing to do- but to act as .hewers of wood and drawers of water. It is all in accordance with irresistible natural law. A cold-blooded political economy informs us that it makes for the cheapening of all the necessaries of life. The concentration of capital, the centralisation of control, in the manufacture and distribution of each of Jhe great staples, saves a thousand, elements 'of cost, *nd enables the manufacturing and distributing t before the consumer at a greatly reduced price. We are ulso assured, on the authority of every one of these trusts which has been brought into court, 4hat this saving of expense enables the trust to spare a much larger portion of its earnings for the wages of its labor. But these pretentes are hollow shams. While the trusts have neither souls nor hearts, they are ruled by men, not angels; men, too. who, In their greed toward the consumer, and their heartlessness toward the laborer, aro freed altogether from the-personal responsibility which, in spite of himself, controls and modifies the selfishner. s of the individual manufacturer and employer. No employer who doe* business in his own name, dare stand before the community in which he lives artd in which his reputation is part of his capital, for such heartlessness toward labor as the very small man will.ca'.mly and even conscientiously exercise toward bis depend* en Is when speaking and acting as the representative of a corporation toward which he regards it as' his duty to grind the last penny for the benefit of the stockholder*. The humanity of the manager of a corporation la lo*t to the mere machine which he become* as part of the greater machine for which he act*. When the process of concentration ha* worked Itself out to completion, the law which governs, both prices and wages will assert Itself with irresistible force. The consumer will be charged the highest price that can be squeezed out of him; the laborer will be Eaid the lowest wages upon which ho can eep life enough In his body to perform his daily task" This result has not yet been quite aoeompliahed. but It is sure a* that night follows day, as certain as the law of human aelflshnes*. There is no salvation for the consumer except in free competition: there Is no dignity, no manhood for the laborer except to the comparative independence he derives through the free competition of many employers who seek hU services. , A RevolntioV Hot ls»profc«»le. The governor solemnly declares that the continuance of thl* ctate of affair* will eventually bring ua to the point wher* there wiU be one groat monopoly which will control the supplies of the nation; the consumer and laborer win become jlaves; th* auk of the country wiH be seised and a now landed aristocracy will have arisen, and the feudal governments of ancient France and Ifingfand win be duplicated on American soil.

It is evident that s^ate legislature* havebut little power to reach the sources of this dfeease. If one state were io deal heroically with the subject, its industries might be driven to other state* which' neglected this work; but it would seemi that the power of a state might require all Us cltlsen* to be treated alike and comped; foreign corporation* to furnish necss— sltles at the same price ^o all It* inhabitants, except LS to difference In cost o f trutieportatlon and in amount purchased. This would prohibit the Standard Oil and' biscuit trusts from putting up tho price In one locality to crush out competition In another, as Is now done whenever anyone' dares compote with these combine*. - If the remedy must be applied at Washington and must cover states alike, thi*' rw« no* relieve us of all responsibility to the'matter. 'A hi* may not be the piao* or time for the discussion of remedies In detail. It may ba suggested, however, that a practical step might be taken in the desired direction If a national law were enacted which' would confine corporation* to line* of burtneju which.might be regarded aa strictly within their proper sphere. Why should any corporations be organised for the conduct of mere mercantile or manvfactur ng business? Such enterprises should be left to individuals. Legislation which sought to directly compass this result, would doubtless meet with tho condemnation of the courts. But there may be avenues by which the purpose could be attained without that danger. The federat congress found no legal obstacle in "" the way when it wished to prevent the Issue of circulating notes by state banks. Under its revenue-raising power It levied a tax of 10 per cent upon on all such circulation, and the notes disappeared at once and have not since been seen. A tax^ equally prohibitive, might be levied upon all corporation* in the United States organised for other purposes than the conduct of railroads, steamboat lines, tele- - graphs, telephones, canals, and possibly ore or two other great enterprise* too , heavy^for the hand* of Individuals or ordinary partnerships. Such a measure would do away, once for all, with the syndicate, the trusts and the combines that are sapping the life-blood of thflPpeople. In former day* the legislature* of great states regarded It aa their privilege and duty to memorialise congress on .matters of concern to the nation. They "requested'' the representatives and "instructed and directed" the senators to take action in conformity with their wishes. This ancient and valuable privilege should be revived. It 1* true that the asnators al Washington no longer regard themselves ' aa amenable to the direction of their creator*. Indeed, It Is often said, and with too much truth, that the senator* sent to Washington own the legislature** which send them there. But this should be corrected, and might be if legislature* were honest and courageous. Every federal senator chosen .should be compelled to take oath* in the jyesence of the feflalature whlcV rtjoose? him. to follow Its instructions 1n Ms cougvessionai 'action when those Instructions are embodied In formal resolutions and conveyed to him by the governor, or transmit hi* resignation.

Gratitude and a desire to promote tbe welfare of the public brings forth such testimony as follows: The Rev. F. A.

Backache was quite pronounced, being especially severe when I sat or stood in a stooping position for any length of time.

That my temperament was, and ife still, something of thit-nature, I must confesu; and the reading of my leisure hours—hooks of wild adventure by field and flood (I have devoured them alf from the volumes ff dear old Daniel Defoe, to those of the Railway Library)— filled my mind with vague longings and airy fancies for greater achievements than 'our periodical regatta or the ranks of our Eton Rifle Volunteer Corps were likely to afford, although I deemed myself by no means an undistinguished member of the latter. "Existence," says a certain writer, "appears to me scarcely existence, without its struggles and its successes. I should eyer like to have some great end before me, for the striving to attain amid a crowd of competitors would make me fee! all the glory of life." With such vague ideas floating before m*, I returned from Eton^ last year,.and found myself at my father's house, the old and secluded rectory of Erlesmere, in a very undecided'frame of mind as to the future, and the profession I should adopt. My father, as before, urged King's College as a proper preparation for any profession. ' My mother hinted that our name I) ad shone in the navy, and cast a glance at a large portrait which hung in the dining room. It represented George Lord Rodney, the cawtfgator. of the Spaniards, in a full bob-wig and white satin breeches, boarding jthe leading ship oft the Oaracca fleet amid a whirlof torn ringing, amoke^and_can Scratch, scratch, scratch; unable to attend to business during* the day or sleep daring; the night.

But my father pooh-poohed this. I was already far too old for the time at which the navy is entered—to-wit, the mature years of thirteen. Then my Aunt Etty, who still curled her hair in the fashion of thirty years ago, recommended *the army with a pensive air; for she had been engaged to a young sub, who was killed at—I must not say where, for it was a great many years ago, and Aunt Etty is unmarried still; but her views, though warmly seconded by listers Dot and Sybil (who saw military ballB and picnics in perspective), did not accord with mine, for I had spent two years or more in our Eton rifle corps, and the monotony of the drill—especialyl that boring curriculum of Hyt&e position (I went through the musketry class), worried me, as I willfully deemed myselfiAbel to sight my weapon and bring d0wn either a Frenchman or a pheasant without it , AJ Amnt Etty's suggestion, my father would shake his white head and say, quoting the author of Ecclesiasticus: " There are two things which grieve my heart to see; a man of war that suffereth from poverty, and men of understanding that are not set by.' the sword, Etty, is but a poor inheritance; aetter send Dick to the counting house. of his uncle, Rodney & Co., la London/' But I trembled at this suggestion, as it did not accord with my own brilliant views in any way, and - so -MMrtbf passed tdly away. >• " .

It happened, only last year, thai Brlesmere dock for the purpose* of being ^repaired. This was an event of some importance, and the whole nautical population cheerfully lent a hand in unloading her, and securing the cargo, which.consisted of apples and Tergou cheeses; while her skipper, Capt. Zeervogel, and the six men who composed her crew, became for the time the lions and oracles of the smoking room and porch of the ivy-covered tavern, where it was tacitly agreed that nothing could bo faid about Lord Duncan, or "the licking he gave these Dutch lubbers off the Texel," in our grandfathers' days, I had never seen a Dutch craft before; thus tbe quaint aspect of this schooner, with her deep waist, her bow and stern which were so clumsy in their form and strength, so exactly alike, and tilted up .till she resembled a cheese cut in half—her leeboards, her brown, oak planks, all bright with varnish, and her little tfabin windows encircled by alternate stripes of red, green and white paint, all made her, to me, a source of wonder; and I was daily on board, having obtained a free entry, after the bestowal of some schnaps (i. e~ gin and water) upon the captain, Jan van Zeervogel, who told me many a strange tale of the North sea, for he was a pleasant and communicative old fellow, having, as he told me, a wife and children, who kept his farm on the isle of Wolfersdyck, near South Beveland, while he tempted the dangers of the ocean to dispose of its agricultural produce. One night, while tbe schooner was stilt on the gridiron, but when her repairs were nearly completed, I was with him in the little dungeon which he called his cabin; darkness had set in, and the hour was late—later than I ought to have been abroad—for we kept early hours at the rectory; but the .novelty of the situation, the old Dutchman's stories, the fumes of his meerschaum, and the effect of some peaches, which he gave me from a large gall pot, wherein his wife had preserved them in brandy, rendered me careless as to how the time passed. After a while I proposed to leave the schooner and return home; but Capt. Zeervogel said that as he intended to sleep that night on board, and as the crew were all ashore, he begged that I would have the kindness to remain in the cabin for a few minutes until he returned from the little tavern where they were located, as he. had .some orders to give. "The tide will rise h^her tonight than usual," he added. "I must have the schooner made more secure by additional warps, else there Is no knowing wha^may happen." I could not in courtesy refuse, though in no way disposed to remain in that gloomy little cabin, but he trimmed the lamp anew, as If to make the place more cheery and, without waiting for an answer, went on^ deck. I heard him descend the side ladder; and, as he passed away, stumbling among the logs and chips of the little dockyard, I had the unpleasant conviction of being alone. ' ' . My watch fold me it was now the time for supper and prayers at the rectory, from which I had been too long absent Then a vague emotion of alarm came over^ne, as I expected every instant to^hear some unaccountable sound, or to see something that might terrify me; so. to gather "Dutch courage," I very unwisely took one or two more of Captain Zeervogel'e peaches, which, as already^ stated, were preserved in brandy, and consequently were more potent In effect than the spirit Itself. > .

Bow I Got Adrift I had been asleep nearly tow tears, when a fall on the cabin floor, as I flipped from the table, awoke me. •tiff, cold and benumbed, I started qp, confused to find myself i s the dark, aad at first J knew not where, I reeled and fall twice or thrice la my efforts to keep my feet, for now the schooner waa rolling from aide to aide —rolling tad afloat! "Home—let me hasten home," was my first thought I scrambled up the companion ladder and reached the V aerroua e^rangemeats jm after r V that the p*©*. wfiswi by *e* tt» cry I on her beam ends, as she waa careened by a heavy breeze that blew from/the shore, the lights of which, probably Erlesmere, I could see about three miles distant, A deadly terror filled my heart! To swim so far was impossible; I •dared not leave the schooner, even with a spar or anything else that would float, as the wind and sea were evidently rising together, aad to remain on board was almost as dangerous and hopeless. I had the risk of drowning by her capslsing, or lying on her beam ends in the, water, and so foundering and going down. A plank might start in her sheathing —she might even then be filling by some uncaulked leak! I bad no idea of the state of her hold, and for many reasons feared she might sink before daybreak, and before my perilous situation could be discovered from the shore. The waves were black as ink; the sky was moonless overhead, but the pale, white stars winked and twinkled, and were reflected in the trough of the ocean. Now, I could perceive foam cresting the tops of the waves, and knew that the breeze was increasing to a gale—a gale that was blowing from the land. This added to my despair, for the lights I had seen soon disappeared, and the dark outline of the coast seemed to sink lower and to. blendv wtth the sea. Clutching the weather rigging, I could scarcely keep my feet, so slippery was the now wetted deck, and so cold and benumbed were my hands and arms by the chill atmosphere of the ocean, and by the salt spray which ever and anon flew over me in bitter, briny showers. I shouted, but the mocking wind bore my voice away to seaward. With despairing eyes I swept the dusky water, in the hope of seeing a vessel, a fishing boat, or the-llghi of a steamer near; but gazed, with haggard glance, in vain. I had no hope now but to wait for dawn of day; aad when it came, where might I and the empty schooner be 7 Fortunately, her topmasts were struck, her foreyard was lowered, and all her gear made tolerably snug. Her canvas, however, was only in the brails, ajid a^ portion of the fore and aft fort«ail * having got loose, it was swelled out by the blast, and kept her head partially before the wind, thus accelerating {fee rate at which she was borne from the land, and being without trimming or ballast, she danced over the waves, as I have said, like a cork, but in momentary danger of impelirtTig and foundering. Aa dawn drew near, the cold increased so much that,, though at the risk of being passed unseen by some coaster, I waa fain to creep on my hands and knees to the companion hatch, and descend Into the cabin. It was darker now than ever, for the lamp had goae out "Oh, to be ashore!" I exclaimed passionately, with clasped hands; "ashore, and free from this floating prison!" I thought of my gentle and loving mother, and my soal seemed to die within me. The schooner would be missed by daybreak—the alarm would be given; her alarm would rapidly become irrepressible anjdety, which would soon turn to a despair that nothing could alleviate. 8onnda like thunder, or like tremendous Mows, at times made me start These were caused by billets of wood, or pieces of pig-iron pitching: about tn the hold of the schooner as she rolled and lurched and righted herself to roll and lurch again. For a time I cowered miserably in? the dark cabin, until my childish tears, overmatched reason, and I crept once more upon deck. A regular gale waa Wowing now, anfl theechoaaer earoaaed fearfully beneaCh It. on her, starboard aide, while tbe bellying of that portion of the fore and aft foresail which had cot loose aided in hurrying her faster oat to ace.

"The-Wotnan'B Christian perance Union ifi essentialy a revealer. It constantly strives to remove from evil the wrappings of obscurity, and in many cases h/is literatty turned- the darkness of ignorance into the light of knowledge. It has sought after the wrongs that needed rightingr and has not rested content with a mere superficial unveiling* but has in each case striven to reach the bed-rock of knowledge. It has sought facts, and side by Bide with facts'it has laid principles aid ideals. Facts and theories, knowledge and ideals, clear vision and strong faith, God and the enr lightened, consecrated, hyman heart make ami^hty combination and just this combination has, with greater or less effectiveness, according as we have fulfilled our part of the conditions, been working in the organization since its uception. The result: A baud of women gathered from every state in tbeUniou and from almost every nation upon the earth, who have not only set their faces as flint against wrong, but who know the nature of the wrong against which they are battling, whose hearts are tender and whose hands are out-streched in helpful- 1)666 not to the wrong doer alone but to every human life., Tkp reult: A quickening of conscience in the Christian church and In society as a whole upod the subject of personal, total abstinence and of one's duty toward* one's neighbor, The results: Laws upon the statute books of every state in our Union, save three, requiring the scientific teaching to the pupils of the public schools of the effects of alcohol and narcotics and an ever- increasing army of earnest allies iu the teachers of our land who are eager to aid in the enforcement of those laws. The results: The raising of the age of protection for our dauga ters in nearly every state in1 the Union and whole floods of light throw upon the subject of purity in its relation to the home and its relation to the individual.

The house of representatives was crowded to the limit when Speaker Adams called the joint Republican caucus to order and appointed John J. Carton to the chair. Senator Addisoo Brown, of 'Kalamazoo, nominated Julius Caesar Burrows for U. S. senator in a short but forceful speech. No other name was presented and after several seconding speeches had been made, some of them by Pack men, Rep Gustin, of Alpena, a Pack manager, moved that the secretary be instructed to cast the unanimous ballot of the caucus for Burrows. The motion was put and carried, and amid furious applause. Carton declared Burrows nominated. A committee was then sent after Burrows and Pack and they were soon brought in, Burrows oft the arm of Rep. Dudley, of Newaygo, and Pack with Capt. Stewart, of Detroit.

Large crowds filled Representative hall to hear the reading of Gov. Pingree's message, whioh occupied about two and a half hours. • There was very little applause, although close attention was given.

During the s$me period It paid out to policy holders a total o i 852,888. ?6, and disbursed during the same period for salaries and expenses 9396,307.00. The commissioner severely criticises the*extravaganoe of the salaries paid, and also says that the company is not on a legal reserve banis notwithstanding the lact that pre-J miums are charged equal to and as great as those collected by soqalled legal reserve companies, and representations- are made that it is doing business practically on the legal reserve plan. Six Miners Dashed to Death. A terrible accident occurred in K shaft of the Lake Superior mine at Ishpeming by whioh six miners lost their liven. Nine men of the night shift started up the shaft from work, but when 15 feet from the surface the car, stopped, and on investigation it was fonnd that only three injured men were in the car and that the other six bad been hurled to the bottom of the shaft to death, It is said that oneof the wheels of the car broke at the fifth level, but whether the men were hurled out or jumped is uncertain. K shaft is a vertical shaft £14 feet deep. The men all dropped from distances vary leg between 500 and 250 feet, and are badly disfigured and torn. Father's Testimony Agalast His Bo*. In the examination of Jeff Mason, at Paw Psw on the .charge of killing Stephen Sprague, Mason's father testified that his son had confessed to him that he did the deed. Young Mason pushed Sprague off the railroad bridge over Deerlick creek * expecting the fall would kill him.. It did not, and Tie then went down into the ravins and shot his victim twita with a -revolver. Then he rifled the pockets and took the* body some distance* from the- bridge and sunk it in the water, where it was found later bv Spragoeii friends. The reason Jeff gives for- the murder was that Sprague had getrthe -best of him in a woman deaL; . - ~ our politic one " to s and to keep them subjection.

Th » may be so, but I can never oslUve (hat the spirit of the. constitution, the spirit of eur Institutions, the genius of our people, ever contemplated or would deliberately tolerate, the prospect of acquiring control of territory densely inhabited hy people whom we must hold In perpetual subjection by force of arms, . Heretofore our country has enjoyed a splendid isolation from those evils which have been the lot of land-grabbing European nations, and from the complications and embarrassments whioh have apparently produced them. Our territorial grovth has hitherto only Intensified ttutt happy isolation, for it has given ua only contiguous territory which would otherwise have been the seat of rival powers as neighbors. Every European power which we can, as opportunity offers, exclude from this continent and its adjacent iFlnnds. nhould be excludeJ* *Hus removing danger which might sometimes threaten our unparalleled and splendid Isolation. When we shall have driven the last of them from American soil,, then, indeed, shall wo be independent as no other people ever wero on earth, and safe from all dangers of foreign war or costly complU cations.

Deducting ten million lor lakes* rivers, town sites and wasts land; S7,WO,000 acres are left for f s m cultivation, or homes far UMOf families on S10 acres each, sad as up to now that* are only 27,000 farmers there altogether, that leaves room in one province for Sf.008 more wheat growers. Supposing,' then, wo got Uem there and each one of them out of his 310 acres grew on an average 100 acres at » bushels to the acre; if you figure it up you will find it is suits possible for Manitoha alone to supply us wfth all the wheat ws require from inroad. It lg only a question of sfreaa^ and comparatively speaking not money either. The cost of on* first-class battleship (about £750,000) would put 6,000 families onto farms in the Northwest, allowing £150 to each to find them In implements, seeds, horses, etc.. and would kosp them until their first crop was harvested. Five thousand farm* era, averaging 100 acres of wheat each at 20 bushels to the acre, means an ex* tra 10.000,000 bushels, for if that scheme is not Hked Britain wonld put a duty on foreign wheat. In addition to ths wheat lands of Manitoba there are ths millions of acres in ABslniboia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. If ever a man indulges in mature deliberations it's when he has a note to meet. • - * *•••) M of **A Haaia UM* B-I-P-A-N-B wlUnol baiM^t Send » eaau to Rlpau Chamloal OOM Naw Turk, for 10 Mmplaa aid UM0 (aaUmoaUUk (or SfiS. 10 PATENTS, CLAIMS.

At the aame time he gave asauranoes £hat lives and property would be protected. • The foreign residents then petitioned Oeor Miller to giant the extension ae sired by/the rebels, as a fight would cause inevitable loss. This also Gen. Miller refused and prepared to land forces, sending an emissary back to Manila for instructions. The rebels are strengthening their position and are preparing to aesist The streets of Iloilo are full of armed soldiers, who are constantly entering in every direc- < tlon. There is great excitement. The American troops are restless. The rebels are driving on the beach, evening and morning, in full view of the American expedition, which is still afloat. The American expedition at«Iloilo consists of a signal detachment, battery G of the Sixth artillery, the 18th regulars and the 51st Iowa regiment. It is commanded by Gen. Miller, a veteran fighter, and arrived off Iloilo on board the transports Pennsylvania, Arizona and Newport, convoyed by the 0. 8. cruiser Baltimore and an auxiliary gunboat. China Moat Hav* Reforms. An imperial edict issued by the empress dowager remarks that China is "passing through a severe crisis in her history." It reminds viceroys and governors of the numerous 'edicts that have been issued lately or deringadmiutotrative reforms, points out that many of these have not been observed and commands the immediate institution of reforms in the methods of training troops, in agriculture, in manufacture and in everything likely to conduce to the prosperity of the empire. It directs the viceroys and governors to memorialise the throne within a month that these reforms have been inaugurated. This edict 1s highly significant as showing that the empress dowager realizes tbat the position is serious and that nil hope of the country's future lies solely in reform. Judge Day on Expansion* In a speech at a banquet welcoming him home at Canton, O., Hon. Wa. B. Day, president of the peace commission at Paris a*nd late secretary of state. After briefly reviewing the peace negotiations said: "If this treaty should be ratified it brings to the United States title to the Philippines to be dealt with as the American people in their wisdom may see fit. In one thing, I think we are all agreed; that when the line of our duty there has been determined, it moat be discharged as becomes a great, free and liberty-loving nation. Whether o» noj wcshave so willed, the days of our international isolation are past It does not follow that the advice of the immortal Washington,to avoid entangling alliances, is less potent today than when the words were written."

Wreck on the Wabanh. , One of the worst smash-upa in the history of the eastern divisions of the Wabash took place at Belleville, when freight train No. 60 collided with another freight which was lylny Btthe ifetation waiting for another train from the east. The engineer reversed his engine and jumped, escaping uninjured, while the heavy freight went plowing its way into the rear end of the train lying at the station. The caboose of the first train was driven on the top of the engine of the rear train, and car after car was smashed and piled up. Fire was Boon communicated from the engine to the caboose, and tide together with five other cars were completely burned, and between 13 and IS ears were more or less demolled In the smash-up. Fortunately ttme was injured. Michigan Hero at Pittsburgh Robert N. Thompson, of Kalkaska, t» salesman "for the Cadillac Lumber Co., was the means of saving at least six lives in a hotel fire at Pittsburg. The fire originated from an explosion of gas. In the first moments after the explosion Mr. Thompson rushed into the hallway of the second floor and stumbled over the unconscious form of ft woman whom he dragged into a reception room. Five others, three men *nd two women, who had been turned back from the stairway by the flames, were shrieking and fighting for some •exit , when Thompson forced them all itfto the big room and locked the door.

What will the legislature do with the beet sugar bounty laws is a question which is interesting the legal fraternity. It means much to the Istate, as in view of the expected enor- 'taous production of beet sugar, the question arises whether the factories ^established under the law could not -claim the bounty for the entire seven {years, or, in other words, if the law is not a contract of the state with ithe manufacturers. Prominent lawyers are of the opinion that all factories built in view of the law could hold the state for the bounty. 8TATB LEGIST.ATUfcB, The Democratic member* of both houses held a joint oaueua for the purpose of defining a policy and to determine what action will be taken on different measures. Senators Ward and Perren were the only absentees, and Representative Scully was chosen chairman. The most important action taken was the decision to stand as a unit on all measures where it is con* alstent to do so. One of the biggest fights coming will be over that tabled motion of Rep. Colby's regarding consideration of the adoption of the rules of the last house. Rule 55 requires a two-thirds vote of the members present to amend bills or joint resolutions which have been eon* sidered in committee of the whole. ._ Thejltft bill passed by this house was introduced by Rep. ^Atward. It was to legalize the assessment roll of Polkton, Ottawa county. The roll was burned with other records. The law does not permit a second roll, and it took a special act to legalize. The bill was given immediate effect. The attempt to refer the Atkinson bill to the railroad committee was lost by the close vote of 43 to 43. The bill on reference to special com* mittce to be named by he speaker was won by a vote of 73 to 0. Delegates Apportioned to Eaefe County.

I wish to force the lie back in histhroat covered with the contents of a camp latrine. I wish to brand it as a falsehood of whole cloth without a particle of truth to sustain it, and unless he can prove his statement, he should be denounced by every honest man, barred from the clubs, barred from the society of decent people, and so ostracised that the street bootblack would not condescend to speak to him, for he has fouled his his own nest, he has aspersed the honor of a brother officer without a particle of evidence or fact to sustain in any degree his scandalous; libelous, malicious falsehood, viz.: That this beef or anything whatever was furnished the army under 'pretense of experiment.'" DOINQ 3 OP CONGRESS. Under discussion of the subject of the constitutional right of the United States to carry into effect the policy of expansion, the leading speaker was Mr. Hoar-(Rep., Mass.), whodelivered a speech in support of the resolution introduced by Mr. Vest (Dem., Mo.), declaring it to be in opposition to the constitution for this country to acquire foreign territory to be governed permanently as colonies. His speech was in answer to that recently delivered by Mr. Platt (Rep., Ct.), and had been most carefully prepared. Among other things Mr. Hoar assumed that the policy of expansion advocated by Mr. Platt would increase the national expenditures, placing the amount at $150,- 000,000 annually. In executive session of the senate the motion of Senator Berry (Ark.) to have the discussion of the peace treaty take place in open session was considered. Senators Berry and Vest contended that the proceedings of the senate on the treaty should be conducted in open session.—The question at issue was one of such general importance that the public was entitled to know all that was said and done by its public servants. Senators Frye, Hale and others spoke in opposition to the motion.

Now I began to be assailed by that illness, which terror and anxiety had hitherto but partially repressed—a violent seasickness in all its horror,. Afraid of being washed from the. deck, over wb^ich the waves were breaking now, once'niore I crept in wretchedness below. Before descending, X cast a deapairlng glance ai the loosening sail which atill caught the wind; it was a source of increasing, danger which I dared not attempt, to remedy, even had I strength to have done so, for the wet deck was now sloping like the roof of a house, and I would assuredly have fallen into the sea to leeward. After several feeble efforts, 1 succeeded in partially closing the companion hatch, for warmth and security, and, descending, threw myself on the cabin floor, sick and despairing. The lurching of the vessel, the closeness of the atmosphere, and general odor of the cabin, overpowered me at last; I became fearfully ill, and from being so, lapsed into unconsciousness, after enduring all the wretchedness induced by that ailment of the ocean. For the top of my head seemed about to fly off, its Bides to be~crushed In there was a singing in my ears, an ache In my eyeballs; and then came that awful sinking of the pulses, of the body, Qf the soul itself which thousands have endured in cases of aggravated^ sea-sickness, but none has been able to depict. In short, after a paroxysm of illness and tears, I became totally unconscious of the peril and horror of my situation, and found a refuge in sleep. CHAPTER III. Useless Regrets. I must have lain long thus. On recovering, I rose more stiff and more benumbed than ever, and with feeble steps ascended the companion ladder, and then a cry of despair escaped me. The. sky was clear and sunny, but whether with the light of a rising or a setting sun, I could not at first determine, morning and evening on the ocean being so much alike to an unpracticed eye. Not a vestige of land wae visible! 8ca and sky wore around me; not a i aail was in sight, and nothing living was near, save a few petrels tripping over the water, alongside of the fatal schooner. Had I slept all nigllt, and was this the dawn of a new day? Had I slept all day, and was this the approach of another night? I devoutly hoped nor, as I most dreaded night upon the ocean; but the gradual sinking of the sun, and the increasing redness of the eky, ere )png informed me that the time was evening- I &o w knew the west, and turned my haggard eyes to the south., for there the land and my home lay; but still the envlots wind, though lighter now, seemed to blow from that quarter. Oh!, how deeply and earnestly, by thoughts unuttered, I prayed in my heart that it would change and blow toward the shore—any shore—or any part of the coast of England, and bring me so near that 1 might have a chance Qf escape ot lite and preservation, by swimming—by putting to the test that skill and those powers of activity I had acquired at Eton, la the waters of the Thames. ; The sea was comparatively smooth, but still the empty schooner rolled and lurched fearfully; the more so that the fore and aft foresail was hanging so loosely in the brails. • A hundred years seemed to have elapsed since I had heard the dear Voices and seen the loved faces of those I had left at home—of my father, my mother, of Dot and of Sybil; while the events of my early schoolboy days seemed to have occurred but yesterday. All time was chaos and confusion! In my sorrow and despair I never thought, unless with anger, of Jan van Zeervogel, the poor Dutch skipper, whos« interests were so much involved with.<the lots or safety of his little schooner, with which the flood tide had made so free. I thought only of my own danger, and my mother's sorrow tor the mystery that would overhang my fate. Now hunger assailed me, creating a new terror lest I should perlak by want of food; and all I had read or heard of wrecks, rafts and oaatawaya crowded on my memory to aggravate the real perils which surrounded me. Ones more I sought the cabin, and on finding an «x broke open what appsanfl to be a pfeei or locker. Therela were several cups, bottle* and dtlaki K >!••••• . placed is perforated sfcsivss; tat nothing eatable save a#U- 0 e bard e a i moMy btteatt. which the adorned e& my approach, and drifikaMe save the rentals* e* Hi vtfteh the peaches tod been preserved—and I viewed the Jar with horror, as the primary cause of all my sufferings and dangers—I say the remains, for ft had fallen from the table and been broken to pieces; so nothing remained of its contents, except about a gill in a fragment, and the peaches which lay in the lee or lower side of the cabin. What would I not have given for a single drop of pure rold water, to allevlate that choking thirst which is ever the sequel to sickness, excitement and sorrow! But there was not a drop on board, as the scuttle-butt had broken its laehings in one of the lurches of the schooner and fallen overboard to leeward. So I soaked the moldy biscuit In the brandy, ate it, and went on deck, in time to see the sun set at the watery horizon, from whence it cast a long and tremulous line of yellow splendor along the dancing waves, to where the schooner floated in her loneliness. Night followed, and one by one the stars appeared in the mighty blue dome overhead; there was no moon as yet, and I thought of hoisting a light at the nr-yinmaBt head, but where were a iani / n and matches to be found? I thought-also of lifting the forehatch to explore the forepart of the schooner, but I felt too feeble and sick at heart, and now with the coming of the shadow of night a ghost story of the Dutch skipper recurred to me. Thirst was now becoming an agony, and I inhaled the dewy atmosphere in vain, for its property was saline, and seemed to make my sufferings greater; but happily it induced a drowsiness. I crept below, and seeking the bed in the captain's berth, drew the clothes over me and strove to sleep—and so weary was I that sleep came. How long I slept I d<* not know, but I was suddenly roused by a violent lurch of the Bchooner. On reaching the deck, I found that a gale had again come on, and that the sea was whitened wttb foam, Amid which the seabirds were blown wildly hither and thither; that the moon was now on the wane, and shed a cold, weird light between the black masses of flying scud, upon the tumbling billows and the empty schooner, which yet flualed buoyantlyy now careened fearfully to port. I foresaw that unless the masts were cut away a capsize wag Inevitable, for the wild wind howled over the waste of seething water, and the schooner groaned and trembled as wave after wave thundered on her empty and resounding hull. Notwithstanding my weakness, I-endeavored to tighten the brail ing. of the fore and aft foresail; but how vain was the attempt! The moment I removed the rope from the belaying pin it was torn from my hand; the whole sail fell heavily looee, and swelled out upon the wind. It flapped with a sound like thunder in the blast, and in a moment the deck seemed to pass from under my feet, and I was struggling alone in the midnight sea. To the horror of being drowned was now adds! that of being devoured by the flsheb. A cry to heaven escaped me, as I rose panting and almost breathless and struck, out to prolong existence. The sea repelled and buoyed me up, for it is by nd means so easy to sink as many persons imagine. The schooner was lying now com* pletely on her beam ends to port; her masts and half her deck were In the water. It had fllTed the body of the , loosened sail, and served to keep her Uteady, but still the waves washed wildly over the hull. I knew she must soon fill and go down; yet so strong is the Instinct of self-preservation that I soon reached the foremast, climbed into the now horizontal rigging, and seated myself on the row of dead eyes, through which the shrouds are rove, clutching them with wild tenacity, while drenched, cold, and despairing. The spray flew over me, thick as rain, but bitter, heavy and blinding. How long I could have survived I know not; but I felt as one in a dreadful dream and acted with the decision and firmness with which we often seem to acquaint ourselves amid the moat fantastic situations created by the fancy in sleep. Suddenly, amid the stupor that was coining over me, I heard a voice and saw a large brig looming between me and the pale, waning moon. She was dose by, with her courses, topsails, jib and fore-and-aft mainsail set, but with her foreyard laid to the wind as she lay to. Then I heard the rattle of the blocks and tackle, as a boat descended from the stem davits with a splash Into the sea. "Cheerily, BOW. my lads, five way!" cried the voJee I had heard before; "pul to windward xoond this craft, and overhaul fcer." There's a man in th« forer rigging I* cried another. •The n stand by in the bow with the froat-hook." I strove to speak, to shout; but my TOKJS was gone. "Spring into the sea, " cried * voice; "do you hear me, yon sir—yon ia the fore-rigging there? Jump la; we cannot sheer alongside a craft that pitches about like a cork in such a sea as this." "Don't fear, my lad," cried others; "we'l pick you up." But I was powerless, blinded by spray; and though unable to respond, clutched the rattllns with fatuous en- \ergy. Then strong hands were laid upon me, and I felt myself dragged into the boat. "Shove off, shove off—give way! this craft will sink In a minute," cried some one; "give way for the brig!" and Just as they turned the head of the boat toward their vessel, the Dutch schooner appeared to right herself; there was a crash as her deck burst up, and then a sob seemed to mingle with the air that was expelled from her hold as she filled and went down like a stone. Though I had been so lo.ng unseen, I afterward learned that at this time there were not less than fifteen sail in sight of the vessel which picked me up. CHAPTER IV. The Eugenie. After being conveyed on board, hot brandy punch was readily administered to me; all my wet clothes were taken off, and I was put Into a snug berth, the coey warmth of which, together with the effect o&he steaming punch— *'a stiff nor'wester," as I heard it called —and the toil and misery, mental and bodily, I had undergone, all conduced to give me a long and almost dreamless slumber. Thus the noon of the next day was far advanced before I awoke to the realities of life and a consideration of the Awkward predicament in which I was placed. I had been picked up by the Eugenie, a new brig of 260 tons register, "coppered to the bends, and standing A-l at Lloyds," as I was informed by Samuel Weston, her master. He added that she had a crew ot twelve hands, men and boys, exclusive of Marc Hislop, the mate, and Tattooed Tom, his assistant, and that the brig had the reputation of being one of the best sailing out of London. The morning was fine and warm; the skylight was open, and a pleasant current of air passed through the clean, wainscoted cabin. A spotless white cloth was on the table, across which there were lash«d ctrtain bars of wood, technically termed a .fiddle, to keep the plates and glasses from falling to laewarrt; ftn<^ "*i looking from my pur- INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS.

Thus will end as a feudal institution the town of Pullman. Its churches, schools, hotel, arcade hall, market bouse, public library and 2,000 brick residences will be sold to the highest bidders. The streets will be given over to the city of Chicago and the waterworks will also pass into the control of the city. Cast Away for 154 Days. The crew of the British bark Glenhuntley, 11 in number, long given np for lost, are alive and well, and are on their way to Liverpool. They abandoned the ship in a fierce gale on June 4, 1898. For 154 days the men subsisted on penguin eggs and the flesh of sea eaglets. Wreck on the Union Pacific As a result of a wreck on the Union Pacific railroad at Sunal, 15 miles east of Sydney, O., four people were killed and seven injured, and four cars were entirely consumed by fire.

While, ot course, we do not like the new feature introduced by the Pennsylvania railroad, considering the aggressive actkm of our own line and all other circumstances in connection with the passenger situation at this time, we are not In a position to find much fault." To tremble before anticipated evils is to bemoan what thou hast not lost. IN OLDEN TIMES. Many Thing* Were Different—Now-a-dayg' the PnbU« Profit by Experience. When the striped pole_or sign which tained berth (for I was not permitted to rise) I saw the captain and mate at lunch over brandy and water, biscuits and cheese; and busy the while with charts and compasses, as they were comparing their nautical notes and observations. The brig seemed to be running steadily through the water upon the starboard tack, and I could hear the gurgle of the sea under her counter, as it bubbled away in the wake astern—In fact, the sound seemed to be just a foot above my ear, realizing the terrible idea that there was "only a plank between me and eternity." Capt Samuel Weston was a wellmade man of middle bight, and somewhere about forty years of age. He was rather grave than jovial in manner, but pleasant, kind and gentlemanly. There waff nothing about him that particularly indicated the seaman, and he never used startling adjectives, or, according to the proverbial idea, interlarded his conversation with obscure nautical phraseology. He wore a short pea-coat with brass buttons, and a straw hat A handsome gold ring secured his necktie, and the fag-end of a cheroot was~between his teeth. He was exactly portrayed thus in his colored calotype, which was framed and screwed into the bulkhead. Close by it was another of a lady with a little boy, standing at the base of a column, which of course had a crimson curtain festooned behind it; and they, I had no doubt, were his wife and child. So Capt Weston—or, 4s he preferred to call himself, Sam Weston—was more domestic in his tastes than those who usually live by salt water are supposed to be. Neither was there anything particularly nautical in the appearance of the mate, who was a smart and athletic young fellow, about flve-and-twentj years of age, with somewhat of a Glasgow accent, keen gray eyes and sandycolored hair; and he it was (though I was not aware of it then, or for long after) who boldly plunged into the stormy sea, and swam to tht founder- Ing schooner, and finding that I could neither understand nor obey instructions, had made a line fast to my waist, and thus conveyed me safely into the boat; so to this young Scotchman I owed my life and a debt of gratitude.

In our last week's" colum n we attempte d to answer, in th e words of on e of our Nationa l officers, the question , What good has th e W 0 T U accomplished ? Thi s week we will endeavo r to explain what th e W 0 T D is, its origin, object, principle s etc . Th e Woman' s Christia n Temperanc e Un - ion is an organizatio n of Christ - ion woman bande d togethe r for the protectio n of th e home , th e abolitio n of th e liquo r system an d the triump h of Christ' s Golde n Rule in custo m and in law. I t is the liueal descendan t of th e great Woman' s Temperanc e Crusad e of 1873-4. Probabl y most of our reader s are familiar with th e history of this Crusade ; however, for the benefit of our youn g readers - we will give a short sketch of it. "In December , 1873, inspiratio n of a temperanc e addres s delivered by Dr . Dio Lewis, in Boston , th e the woman of Hillsboro , Washington Cour t House , an d othe r Ohi o towns, were moved to concerte d actio n agaiust th e saloon . The y gathere d in th e street s to pray, and marche d two by two int o saloons. The y besought th e me n who dran k and th e men who Bold ^to cease to gratify th e appetit e for gain and th e appetit e for stimulants , and invited the m to move on with th e procession , as it ende d its days work at th e altar s of God , where th e women knelt in conse - cration , an d countles s tempte d men in repentanc e and faith. Fro m tha t divinely lighted fire the flames spread east, west, nort h and south , unti l th e whole land was a blaze. I n fifty days thi s whirlw-ind of th e Lord had swept the liquor traffic ou t of two hun - dred and fifty towns and villages". P«rliaps_ the _ questio n arises, why was no t thi s war carrie3~o n to th e final over-thro w of th e saloon. We would reply: "Because the saloon itself was found to be but outcroppin g of th e liquor system; tha t system was protecte d by law, an d intrenche d in th e very hear t of our governmenta l life. Th e powers controllin g it soon rallied from th e shock of th e sudden onslaugh t and intrenche d themselve s even mor e strongl y behin d thei r barricades , politica l and legal Th e argumen t of defeat and th e logic of events soon forced th e women to enlarge the circle of thei r work unti l it should includ e no t only"menta l suasion for th e man who thinks , and mora l suasion for th e man who drinks ; but legal suasion for the drunkard-make r and prison suasion for th e statut e breaker. " In Nov. 1874 th e Nationa l W C T U was organize d in Cleveland , Ohio . . At th e presen t tim e ther e are Union s iu every state an d in nearl y every natio n upo n th e earth . The basis of membershi p consist s in each membe r bein ^ require d to sign th e pledge an d pay th e annua l membershi p dues which vary iu different state s but I are usually abou t fifty cents .

Vance of the Sirst Presbyterian church of Nashville. Tnn., recently, were In tune wtth the time. Dr. Vance urged that the UM of the terms "north" and "south" as applied to the church be abandoned. The point is well taken. The sooner all terms and expressions that art reminders of Mason and Dixon's linj fall into disuse the better. As long an they are part of our daily speech they help unconsciously to keep up a factional spirit The second international congress of settlement and social workers will be held in Chicago during the second week of next May. The sessions of the congress will be held in the Auditorium in connection with Hull house, which will be ready for occupancy by that time. The names of many sociologists of International reputation will appear on the program and noted foreign workers will discuss social questions. The program is being prepared largely under the supervision of Miss Addams. The social settlement idea in America is less than fifteen years old, and in 1886 there were less than tfty settlement houses in the entire ejountry. Today Chicago alone has thirteen social settlements, with something like 300 resident workers. Within the territory north of the Ohio river and east of the Mississippi, the railroad carriers are transporting the larger part of the interstate traffic at rates less than those shown on, the published tariffs filed with the commerce commission, which are by statute the only lawful rates. While this condition continues tfcare will exist the unjust discrlmlnatloct and the onjust preferences and advantage* between persons, localities and particular descriptions of traffic, the prevention of which is the mala, object at* tfce act of congress establishing Ike Inter* state commerce commission.

" One of the most wondrous characters of his time was David. A redhaired boy, he could shepherd a flock, or carry "ten loaves and ten slices of milk cheese to his brothers in the regiment," or, with leathern thong, stone loaded, bring down a giant whose armor weighed two hundred weight of metal, or cause a lion which roared at him in rage to roar with pain as he flung it, dying, to the roadside, or could marshal a host, or rule an empire, or thumb a harp so skillfully that It cured Saul's dementia—a harp from whose strings dripped pastorals, elegies, lyrics, triumphal marches, benedictions. Now, this man, a combination of mueica and heroics, of dithyr&mbics and battlefields, of country Quietude and statesmanship, Is to fit out a military expedition. Four thousand troops, according to Josephus, were sent into the field. The captains were put in command of the companies, and the colonels in command of the regiments, which were disposed into right wing, left wing, and center. Oen. Joab, Gen. Ablshai and Oen. Ittai are to lead these three divisions; but who shall take the field as coxnmander-in-chief? David offers his services, and proposes to go to the front He will lead them in the awful charge, for he has not a cowardly nerve in all his body. He did not propose to have his troops go into perils which he himself would not brave, and the battlefield required as much courage then as now, for the opposing forces must, in order to do any, execution at all, come up to within positive reach of sabre and spear. But there came up from the troops and from the civilians a mighty protest against David's taking the field. His life was too important to the nation. If he went down, the empire went down; whereas, if the whole four thousand of the ranks were slain, another army might be marshaled and the defeat turned into victory. The army and the naUon practically cried out, "No! No! You cannot go to the front. We estimate you as ten thousand men. 'Thou art worth ten thousand of us!" In no city of its size are there so many men of talent as are gathered in this capital of the American nation. Some of the states are at times represented by men who have neither talents nor good morals. Their political party compensates tUem-for—partisanservices by sending them to Congress, or by securing for them position in the war or navy or pension or printing departments. They were nobodies before they left home, and they are nobodies here. But they are /excep - tional. All the states of the Union -generally send their most talented men and men of exemplary lives and noble purposes. Some of them have the gifts and qualifications of ten ijfeen, of a hundred men—yea, of a. thousand men—and their constituents could truthfully employ the words of the text and say, "Thou art worth ten thousand of us." With such opportunity are they augmenting their usefulness in every possible direction? Many of them are; some of them are not. It is a stupendous thing to have power—political power, social power, official power. It has often been printed and often quoted as one of the wise sayings of the ancients, "Knowledge Is power;" yet it may as certainly be power for evil as for good. The lightning express rail train has power for good, if it is on the track, but horrible power for disaster if it leaves the track and plunges down the embankment The ocean steamer has power for good, sailing in right direction and in safe waters and under good helmsman sad wide-awake watchman on the lookout, but indescribabel power for evil if under full headway it strikes the breakers. As steam power or electricity or water forces may be stored in boilers, In dynamo*, in reservoirs, to be employed all over a town or city, so God sometimes puts in one man enough faith to supply thousands of men wfth courage. If a man happens to be thus endowed, let him realize his opportunity and improve it At this time millions of mea are atrtmble lest this nation make a mistake and /enter upon some policy of government for the islands of the sea that will founder tip republic. God will give to a few men on both sides of thii. question faith aad courage for all the rest. These are two false positions many are now taking—false as false can be. Th* oa# Is that if we decline to take under fuU charge Cuba and Porto Rico and the Philippines, w« make a fltfUnaitnn that will be diaastrout to our nation, and other nation* will uke ooatrol of tlMse archipela#o* a*4 rule thea, and aarfeant t o o w struotloa. Ta# other theory Is that It ssns^Bk ^h^B^Bss^Bk ss^^s^aifli^a^B^ssB^BVssflBi '^a^aV' ^ftsnu^s^BB^sk ^ s ^ s s i ^ a ^ Bb BBBI^R^BBW^BSV i w iwrtt * iaralg a tettfference, aad enter apon t carver that will finally be the demolition of this government. Both poaUlo&a are immeasuiebly mistakes. Qod ha* set apart this continent for free government and the triumphs of Christianity, and we may take either the first or the second eourae without ruin. We may say to those islands, "We do not want you, but we have set you free; now stay free, while we see that the Spanish panther never again puts its paw on your neck." Or we may invite the annexation of Cuba and Porto Rico, and say to the Philippines, "Get ready, by education and good moral*, for free government, and at the- right time you shall be one of our territories, on the way to be one of our states." And there is no power in Europe, Asia or Africa, or all combined, that could harm this nation in its world-wide endeavor. God is on the side of the right, and by earnest imploration for divine guidance on the part of this nation we will be led t< do the right. We axe on the brink of nothing. Thore is no frightful crisis. Thia train of Republican and Democratic institutions is a through train, and all we want is to have the engineer and the brakemen and the conductor attend to their business while the passengers keep their places. We want men in this nation with faith enough for all. We want here and there a David worth ten thousand men. * • • The warrior David of my text showed more self-control and moral prowess fn staying at home than he could have shown commanding in the field. He was a natural warrior. Martial airs stirred him. The glitter of opposing shields fired him. He was one of those men who feel at home in the saddle, patting the neck of a pawing cavalry horse. But he suppressed himself. He obeyed the command of the troop© whom he would like to have commanded. Some of the greatest Sedans and Austerlitzes have been in backwoods kitchens, or in nursery, with three children down with scarlet fever, soon to join the two already in the churchyard, or amid domestic wrongs and outrages enough to transform angels into devils, or in commercial life within their own countingrooms in time of Black Friday panics, or In mechanical life in their own carpenter shop, or on the scaffolding o? walls, swept by cold or smitten by heat. No telegraphic wires reporte< the crisis of the conflict, no banner was ever waved to celebrate their victory; but God knows, and God will remember, and God will adjust, and by him the facing of a tear is as certainly noticed as the burning of a world, and the flutter of a sparrow's wing as the flight of the apocalyptic archangel. Oh, what a God we have for small things w£ll as-big things! David no morehelped at the front than helped at home. The four regiments mobilized for the defense of the throne of Israel were right in protesting against David's exposure of his life at the front Had he been pierced of an arrow, or cloven down with a battle-ax, or fatally slung from a snorting war charger, what a disaster for Israel! Absalom, his son, was a low fellow, and unfit to reign, his two chief characteristics were his handsome face and his long hair—so long, that when he. had it cut, that which was scissored off, weigtied "two hundred shekels, after the king's weight," and when a man has nothing but a handsome face and an exuberance of hair, there Is not much of him. The capture or slaying of David would have been a calamity irreparable. Unnecessary exposure would have been a crime for David, as it is a crime for you. In nine cases out of ten, the fatalities every day reported are not the fault of engineers or brakemen or conductors or cab-drivers, but of the stupidity and recklessness of people at street or railroad crossing. They would like to have the Chicago limited express train, with three hundred pat* sengers, and advertised to arrive at a certain hour in a certain city, slow up to let them get two minutes sooner to their destination, not one farthing 6f their own or any one else's welfare dependent on whether they arrive one minute before twelve o'clock, or one minute after. You ought to get permission from a railroad superintendent to mount beside the engineer on a locomotive, to realize how many evils of recklessness there are in the worldfuneral processions whipping up to get across before the cow-catcher strikes the hearse; man of family, with wife and children beside him in a wagon, evidently having made close calculation as to whether a stroke from the locomotive would put them backward or forward in the journey to the village grocery; traveler on a railroad bridge, hoping that he could get to the end of the bridge before the train reaches ft. - You hav*w no right to put your life in peril, unless by such exposure something Is to be gained for others. What imbecility in thousand* of American* during our recent Anertoo- gpaalsh war, disappointed because the surrender casne so soon, and they could not have the advantage of being shot at San Juan hill, or brought town with fee ratio* fever, **4 <*rri«c on a litter to transport steamers already so many floating lasarettos, instead of thanking God that they got no nearer t* tin* slaughter than. Tampa or Chattanooga, or the encampment at their own state capital, mad at the government, mad at God, beoauae they could not get to the front In time td join the four thousand corpses, that are now being transported from the tropics to the national cemeteries of the United States! Exposure and daring are admirable when duty calls, but keep out of peril when nothing practical and useful Is to be gained ton your family or your country or your" God. I admire the David of my text as he suppresses himself and enters the gate of his castle, as much as I admire him, when, with his four.fingers and thumb clutched into the grisly locks of Goliath'a head, which he had decapitated, and Saul admiringly asks, "Whose son art thou, young mau?" And David, blushing with genuine modesty, responds, "I am the son of thy servant, Jesse, the Bethlehemite." • • • The world has had other conquerors, yet they subdued only a nation or a continent; but here Is One who is to be a Conqueror of hemispheres. Other physicians have cured sufferings, but here is a Doctor who gave sight to those who were born blind, and without surgery straightened the crooked back, and changed the numbness of paralysis into warm circulation, and who will yet extirpate all the ailments of the world, until the last cry of the world's distress shall change into a song of convalescence. Other kings have ruled wide realms, but here is a King that will yet reign in all the earth a* he now reigns in heaven. There have been other historians who told the story of nations, but here 1* One who tells us of things that occurred before the world was. There have been other generals who commanded men, but here was a General who commanded seaa and hurricanes. There have been other prophets, but here is One out of whose life and career, Moses and David and Jeremiah and Ezekiel and Micah and Malachl and Zecharlah dipped their inspiration. There have been other merciful hearts all up and down through the ages, but here is Ono who loves us with an everlasting love, and whose mercy antedates the birth of the first mountain, and the wash of the first sea, and the radiance of the first aurora, and the chant of the morning stars at the creation, and will continue after (Be last rock has melted* in the -final conflagration, and Atlantic and Pacific oceans have rolled out of their beds, and the last night shall have folded up its shadow, and our Lord shall have cried out in the same words that sounded through the night of John's THE PLUMS.

But I must not close without commending to you this wonderful Christ here and now as your pardon for all sin,.and your solace for all grief, and your triumph in all struggle. Down at Norfolk, Virginia, a few days ago, a gentleman was telling me of one of our war-ships in Cuban waters. Before it left a northern harbor, some Christian ladies, at much expense and with fine taste, bought and furnished for that war-vessel a pulpit, from which the chaplain might read the service and preach while on shipboard. The pulpit was made in the shape of a cross, and it was beautifully damasked and tasselled. The ship got into the battle before Santiago, and the vessels of the enemy began to sink, and their crew were struggling in the waters, when, from this ship I speak of, the officers and sailors began to throw over chairs, planks, tables, to help the drowning save themselves. After a while everything movable had been thrown overboard, except the pulpit in the shape of a cross. After objection by some that it was too beautiful and valuable to be cast into the waters, the cross was dropped into the sea. One of the drowning men seised It, but let go, and another seized, and the shout went from many on deck to those struggling in the waves, "Cling to the cross! Cling to the cross!" Several o( the drowning took the advice and held on until they were rescued and brought in safety to deck, and shore, and home, and I say to all the souls today sinking in sin and sorrow, now swept this way and now that: Though the gun* of temptation and disaster may splinter and knock from under you all other standing, and everything else goes down take hold of the cross and cling to it for your present and everlasting safety. Cling to the eroas! for he who died upon It will save to the uttermost, and he It so good, and so lovely, and so mighty that he It worth infinitely more than tan thousand of us.

They were riding a tandem. Bho was la front—a pretty, laughing, pout* Ing damsel wltb a wealth of coppercolored hair and a pair of tantalising, mischief-making eyes. He sat at the back, gloomy in face and in mood. For him the course of true love ran anything but smooth. He had known her for years—had been her school companion, in fact, had been her devoted slave since the very first day they bad met. He remembered that day very well. He had bought a whole cake of chocolate, and he loved chocolate dearly. It waa his flrsjt hard struggle with self, but he conquered, and after a long last look and a sigh he offered her the whole cake. And she—she took it all with a smile and ate it without offering him as much as a bite. He looked back at their lives since, and felt that that chocolate incident bad been constantly repeated ever since. He bad given and she had accepted— still with a smile 'tis true, but smiles did not content him now. They were so ready, and she gave them so freely to others. He meant to have everything or nothing. As he Bat behind on that tandem and admired her bright hair and caught a glimpse of her dainty profile every now and then, he made up h\s mind to put an end to his sufferings one way or another that evening. He burled himself In thought for some long time, and then a bright Idea occurred to him. But bis long silence evidently seemed to irritate the front rider. "How dull you are today, Jack," she said Impatiently. "You haven't said a word for the fast quarter of an hour. Don't you think it is about tine we turned back?" "What are you in such a httrry about?" asked .Tack. The ••'-! leu; H<?d a bit consciously. "Well. ; yro:riioed that I would get home before 7 o'clock, and—and It's very particular," she added, with a pout. "Mr. Seymour coming round probably," said Jack. "Mr. Seymour seems to be coming round a good bit lately, doesn't he? But, Clare, I'm awfully sorry, but I don't think you will get home In time tonight." "What do you mean?" said Clare quickly. "Well, to tell you the truth I don't know exactly where we are." "Don't you know where we are," echoed the girl angrily. "Don't be absurd. Do you mean to say you have brought me out and have been stupid enough, to lose the way?" "That's about the whole size of the "Well, you'll have to find the way, that's all about it," said pretty Clare, vindictively. "And I'll tell you plainly CLUNG TO HIM IN TERROR, that I shan't place myself in a similar predicament in a hurry. Mr. Seymour wouldn't have done such a foolish thing." "Good gracious! No!" laughed Jack. "Fancy seeing Seymour-on a tandem." "He is a gentleman if he is nothing else," snapped Clare. "Well, I hope so," replied Jack. "He's got nothing else to recommend him. Well, we won't discuss old Seymour. The thing is to find the way. Now jump off and we'll have a look* about us." They slowed up to where two roads met and Clare did as she was bidden. There was no sign-post, and Jack seemed profoundly puzxled. "I think," he said, after a bit, "we'll leave the tandem here and go and explore a bit I'll take the road to the left and you the one to the right, and we'll meet again in this spot" "Oh, no! no! no! Jack," said Calre, looking round her nervously. "Its getting so dark and I'm afraid. I^coaldn't go down that long, dark lane.' "Well, yoa stay here and I'll have a look round. I'm not sure, but I think this is what they call 'Cut-throat Cor- • M Clare screamed and dung to aim In terror. "Oh. Jack, dont leave me." she said eatraattncly, "X should die of fright If—If I saw anything. Let me go with jo«—please!" "All right." said Jack, well nteased *t the pressure on his arm. "But yo« see we shall lose time, and maybe got on the wrong track. Susposiagwa don't get back tonight, Clare, what will the foUu say?" A new terror came before the girl's eyes. "But we must. Jack, we must," she said earnestly. 4<Oh, It you have any regard for me at all you would and a way." "That's just it, Clare/' raid Jack, "I hare a very big regard for you. Now, look here,.suppose you give me a little encouragement—promise me If I get home before 10 o'clock that you will marry me." Clare caught her breath In with a gasp. "Anything! anything!" she said tearfully; "only get me home." "And if I don't," went on Jack, "people will think we have eloped, and —well it would be ever so romantic. We could-—" "How dare you?" said Clare indignantly. "I'll never—never speak to you again unless you get me home before 10 o'clock." "Right you are," said Jack. "And now Jump up and we'll go and seek our fortunes." The two mounted the tandem once more. Jack took the turning to the right, and for some time they rode on without speaking. At last something seemed to strike Clare .and she looked round wondering." "Jack, what are you doing?" she said. "Dou you know we have been going round and round the same roads for ever so long?" "Nonsense," said Jack gruffly. "We have left 'Cut-throat Corner* miles behind us. Have you any idea where we are?" "Not yet," replied Clare. "But, wait. Yes, of course. Why, look! there's the >old church, and there to the right is the schoolhouse. Jack, I believe you have been deceiving me." "Well, and what If I have?" said Jack stoutly. "Haven't you deceived me times without number?" "I'll never Bpeak to you again— never!" said Clare with determination in her voice. "But you're not home yet, remember," said Jack. "A promise is a promise, Clare," he pleaded. "And you are fond of me; you can't deny it; only you like to torment me to do something desperate. Do you want me to take you back to 'Cut-throat Corner' and leave you?" "Yes, you'd better," pouted Clare, gaining courage as she approached scenes familiar. "I mean It,' said Jack. Clare sighed and shed a tear and then gave In. "It Is mean of you to take advantage of me like this." she said at last. "But I suppose I deserve It, and if yon like to have such a horrid, selfish wife— well, I suppose you can nave her, DUI I dare say you'll repent your bargain before many months are out." "Shall I!" shouted Jack triumphantly. "Hurrah! What'll old Seymour sayr WOULD NOT LOSE HER VOTB. Rather T u n Do So am Idaho Wepaa DroT* Sixty MilM 1m the Cold. Mrs. B. F. Jeffers of Halley, Idaho, believes firmly that when the state conferred upon her the right of suffrage the commonwealth was justified in expecting that Bhe would exercise that right to the full. Mrs. Jeffers owns a ranch at Soldier, and has shown on many occasions while successfully managing that property that she is not one to shirk her responsibilities, be they those of citizenship or otherwise. It was not to be expected, therefore, that any ordinary obstacle would interfere with her announced determination to vote at the recent election, but even those who knew her best were hardly prepared for the display of pluck which she gave on the second Tuesday of last month. Mrs. Jeffers had registered at Soldier, where her ranch is located, but subsequently removed to Hailey, thirty miles away, taking a legal transfer to the latter place, but forgetting to record I t Shortly before noon on election day she went to the polls at Hailey, but found that she could not vote without authorisation from Soldier. Nothing daunted, she secured a team of horses and started for the latter place, announcing her Intention to be back before the polls closed In the evening. The horses were speedy and of great endurance, and Mrs. Jeffers reached Soldier within the time which she allowed herself. Giving orders for a fresh team, she proceeded to secure the necessary documents. Those la her possession, she started on her return Journey. The trip from Bailey had not been particularly cosmfortahle, although the bright sun of early afternoon had tempered a cold wind which blew across the high prairie. This advantage had disappeared when the plucky woman took the reins t o start back, and several friends urged her to abandon the trip and stay at the ranch over night Mrs. Jeflers laughed at the adTiee, faeai the cutting blast trip, hut It was a ooid and Journey, hut Mrs. Jetets reached Haiioy in time to vote, taovgh her lagers wore so benumbed that able to mark her ballot.

To Develop Mich. Coal Fields. Prospects are good for the development of the great coal deposits at Williamson in the near future. Only 48 feet below the surface with a good slate roof above it, lies a vein of rich coal varying from 3 to 7 feet in thickness. A 44-inch bed of excellent coal lies but 13 feet below the surface, but as there is no roof, the only way to mine it U by stripping, which is too expensive. Excellent fire clay and a mineral paint vein overlay the coal beds. Kx-Convlet Re-Captured.

Douglas and Henry Russul, the committee appointed by the Detroit bicentenary organization to get the general law for the incorporation of exposition companies amended. McGraw engineered the bill in the senate, and Cheever and Capt. Stewart in the house, and it was given immediate effect by both bodies. The amendments give the organization power to incorporate as soon as they have 8100,000 of the 81,000,000 capital stock subscribed. The old law required that the whole capital stock must be subscribed before they could incorporate or hold the subscribers. The clerks who drew plums in the senase committees were: Banks, corporations, etc., C. L. Flood, Osceola county; fisheries, etc., Chas. B. Nelson, Cadillac; cities, villages, etc., George E. Cogswell, Grand Rapids^university, horticulture, etc., Edbert B. Green, Olivet; printing, taxation, etc., Chas. H. Smith. Petoskejr; school for blind, etc., Chas. H. Watson, Crystal Falls; claims and accounts, executive business, etc., Chas. F. llalsey, Warren; agricultural college, Miss Alice Earl, Schooleraft; judiciary, Percy Edwards, Owosso. Rep. Chamberlain, who is one. of the special committee on the Atkinson bill, introduced a resolution providing that this committee should investigate the subject of taxation, report on the value of railroad property, the amount of taxes they pay under the present systems in vogue iu other states. After Chamberlain had concluded his remarks supporting the resolution, Mr. Cheever promptly moved that the resolution be tabled, which was carried by a vote of 50 to 30. A bill authorizing the land commissioner to issue a patent to J. Q. Ferguson and wife was passed, also the one authorizing the governor to send a representative to Cuba to bring home bodies of soldiers, passed both houses The military committee has decided to report favorably on the bill for the payment of armory rentals during the absence of the national guard companies during the war. The attempt to refer the Atkinson bill to the railroad committee was lost by the close vote of 43 to 43. Julius Caesar Burrows has been elected U. S. senator to succeed himself. STATE GOSSIP. The Gen. Wm. Humphrey, of Adrian, is dead. Lo*t His Hand While Catting Feed, While Ed Rodgers, of Emerson township, Gratiot, was cutting feed for his stock, one of his mittens was caught in the rollers of the machine and before he could stop it his hand had been clipped six times, the last cut being straight across from the junction of the thumb with the hand, necessitating amputation at the wrist joint. Will Bring Michigan's Dead Home. Gov.

S. The governor or state authorities make this payment to him as a state soldier, and because contrress has seen fit by the foregoing act to reimburse the governor or state for their payments is no sufficient reason for the government by indirection to take away from the soldier what had been paid him by a state, and no sufticieut reason why the act of July 7, 1S'J8, should be evaded."

Dam Gave Way Cautlog Mnch Damage* The 300-foot long bridge at Cloveland, whieh was recently built at a cost of $100,000, was badly damaged by the bursting of a dam. Back of the dam which broke away was a body of water a mile and one-half long, hundreds of feet wide and in places 25 to 30 feet deep. The break In the dam allowed torrents of water to pour down on the flats below it, causing the abut ments of the' big bridge to crumble Fortunately no one was killed, but some very narrow escapes are reported.

On pei-ceiviug that I waa awake, a hand bell was rung by the captain, and hot coffee, accompanied by the last slice of shore-bread that remained, was brought to me by Billy, the cabin-boy, and then, after a time, I was requested to state v.hat craft that was from whicb I hrui been taken, ray name, and so forth, that Mr. Hislo-y might enter all the particulars among the "remarks" in his log-book. I soon satloiiud them as to all this. "And where urn I now?" I inquired. "Pretty far out upon the open sea, my lad," replied the captain with a smile, as he threw the end of his cheroot into the empty grate. "The open sea—still the open sea!" I reiterated with dismay, which I cared not to conceal. "Yes; we saw the last glimpse of the rugged Start on the day before yesterday, nnd this morning, just an hour before picking you up, we bade goodbye to old England, for the Lizard Light was bearing—you had the dead Watch, Hislop; how did it bear?" "About twelve miles off, on the weather quarter." "How shall I return home?" They bothMaughed as I despairingly made this inquiry. "By the way you left it, I suppose; that is by water," said Capt. Weston. • 4 "You spoke of the Start; what is that?" "A cape of the Channel, on the toutheast coast of Devonshire, about nine miles to the southward of Dartmouth," he replied, while casting a casual glance at a chart which lay on the table I had thus, before being rescued so providentially, drifted more than a hundred miles from Erlesmere, and it was marvelous that the schooner had floated so far unseen. "Well, what is to be done now?" asked the captain. "We are bound for the West Indies, but we may put you aboard the first craft that passes us, homeward-bound; or you are free to remain, if we cannot do better for you." I thought of my mother, my father, my two sisters; and my heart was so full of gratitude to heaven for preserving me to the end, that I might see and embrace them all again, that I had no words to reply. After a time I exclaimed: "Home, home!—let me go home to Erlesmere!"—weeping as I spoke, for the thought of them all made me a very child again. The captain and mate exchanged glances of inquiry. "It's no use piping your eye now, my lad," said the former, coming toward my berth; "but answer me quietly. You said that your name was Rodney?" "Yes." "And you spoke of Erlesmere; are you a son of old Dr. Rodney, the rector?" "Do you know my father, then?" I exclaimed. "Can't say exactly that I have the honor of being known to him; but I know of him, right well. Why, Master Rodney, I have sailed your uncle's Bhips many a time, and know his gloomy old office in the city, as well as the buoy at the Nore; so you are as safe and as welcome aboard the Eugenie as if in the old rectory house at home." This was pleasant intelligence, at all events; but my earnest desire was to return—a design which was not fated to be speedily gratified. For several days we passed only outward- bound vessels, or others which were at such a distance that the task of signaling and speaking with them would have delayed the Eugenie longer than Capt. Weston could risk. Two that passed near us, when we showed our ensign, replied by displaying the tricolor of France or the red and yellow bars- of Spain; so there, was nothing for'me now but to remain contentedly on board the Eugenie-, which was bound for Matanzas with a solid cargo of steam machinery and coal. The'master had no doubt of getting a return freight direct for London; thus six or eight months might elapse before I could return to Erleamere. I gradually became reconciled to the novelty of my situation; I looked forward hopefully to the time when the sorrow of those I had left behind would be alleviated, and began to enjoy to the utmost the prospect of a voyage in * spanking brig to the shores of Cuba. who would read "Don Quixote" in the original, with a fluency that even my old tutor at Eton might have envied. We were now clear of the Channel; and, after a hard battle with the wind and sea, we left the long roll of the mighty Atlantic. On the third night after my rescue, we encountered dark and cloudy weather, with a strong gale, which set all the cabin afloat. My watch was over, and I had just turned in, when I heard the voice of Capt. Weston, who was on deck, shouting through his trumpet to "close reef tho maintopsail, hand the mainsail, foresail, and foretopsail. Look alive there, lads," he added, "or as sure as my name is Sam Weston, I'll give the volt to the last man off the deck!" This threat, so unusual in one so good-natured, together wjth the bellowing of the wind, the flapping of the wetted canvas, the rattle of the blocks and cordage, and Jihe laboring of the brig, which was so deeply laden that every timber groaned, all gave &uch indications of a rough night that I sprang from my berth and proceeded to dress again in haste. To my astonishment, at that moment I heard the hoarse rattle of the chain cable, as it rushed with a roaring sound through the iron mouth of the hawse hole; then I was sensible of a violent shock, which made the brig stagger, and tumbled me headlong against the paneled bulkhead which separated the cabin from the afterhold. Hislop, who had been dozing or the cabin-locker in his storm jacket, started up with alarm in his face. "Have we come to anchor?" I asked. "Anchor in more than three hundred fathoms of water!" he exclaimed, as he rushed on deck, whither I followed, and found that a very strange incident had occurred. In the murky obscurity of the stormy night a large Dutch lugger, in ballast apparently, and running right before the wind, with steering canvas set, came suddenly athwart us, and hooked the anchor from the cathead on our larboard bow—by some unwonted neg- \e.ct. It. was not vet on board, noi-had CHAPTER V. The Voyafe to Cuba. I resolved not to be an idler or loblolly box, and WM allowed by Captain Wttton to take my watches and share of deck dirty with the rttt of the crew; and at intervals I worked hard at a I flpaaiat gaunmar with Mate Hialop, tl . • the cable been unbent'—with her starboard fore-rigging, and thus bore av/ay with it, until the chain came to bear, when there was a tremendous shock. Several feet of our bulwark were torn away, and two seamen, Tattooed Tom, and an old man-o'-war's man named Roberts, were nearly *v,-ept into the sea, where, In such a fclght, and amid the confusion of such an incident, they would inevitably have perished unaided. Then we heard a shout, mingled with a crash upon the bellowing wind, as the Dutchman's foremast snapped by the board, and then, fortunately, our anchor tumbled from'his side la to the sea, where it swung at tli* whole length of the chain cable. Wo manned both windlass aud capstan— got the anchor, which was drifting, roused to the cathead, hoisted it on board, unbent the cabk». and stowed it in the tier; but lon^ en. all this was done we had lost sight of our lubberly friend, who, when last seen, was tossing about like a log In the darkness, and drifting far astern of us. But for some defect in the pawls and notches of the windlass collar, I am doubtful if the chain would have run out so freely; but as to this I cannot say. We had hard squalls and a sea that ran high until daybreak; there was lightning, too; red and dusky; it seemed at, times to fill the whole horizon. We could see for an instant the black summits of the waves as they rose and fell between us and the glare; and when it passed away, all again would be obscurity and gloom. "More canvas must be taken off the brig, sir," suggested Hislop, looking aloft and then over the side, where the foam-flecked sea whirled past us. "Well, in with the trysail, foretopsail. and maintopsail." ordered Weston. As the light of dawn stole over the auery fea. through clouds of mingled mist and rain, the gale -abated, and all but. the watch went below. Calm weather and heavy rains succeeded the gale; but the Eugenie steadily kept her course, and two days after, when spaiil-.vag along before a fine topgallant breeze, we picked up a bottle, which was described by the watch, floating and bobbing in the water a few fathoms distant from the brig. She was at once hove in the wind, and Hislop went In the stern boat to bring the bottle on board. As the most trivial Incident becomes of interest on board of ship, where the dally occurrences are so few, and the circle of society so limited, considerable conoera was excited by the appearance of this bottle, which teamed to hare been freshly corked; and on its being broken, we* found a scrap of pa* per—torn apparently from a notebook —whereupon^ hurried and agitated hand had penciled this brief notice: "The Mary, clipper ship, of Boston, 20th Nov., 1861, momentarily expected to go down—-pumps worn out, and tlu leaks gaining—Captain and first mate, with all the boats, washed away—Ood help us!" "The 20th of November? It was on that night we encountered the heavy gale," said Weaton. We had been on the skirt of the ten: pest, as Hislop maintained, while tho Yankee ship had probably suffered all the fury of it. From the main-crpaBtrees Capt # Weston swept the sea with his telescope, in vain, for any trace of her; so if that melancholy scrap of paper told truth, all was doubtless over long since with the Mary and her crew. In the cabin that night a conversation on the probabilities of her destruction or escape led to a recurrence to the" miraculous manner in which th« unlucky Dutch schooner had floated s<J long with me; and I mentioned to Weston and Hislop the additional terror? I had endured by the effect of Imagination, and a recollection of the strang* incidents told me by Capt. Zeervogel; but they ridiculed the story of the poor man, chiefly, I thought, because "it WJV the yarn of a Hollander." "Though I am a Scotchman," began Hislop "And come of a people naturally superstitious," suggested Weston, paren thetically "AB all large-brained races are," re1 torted the mate, while filling his claj» pipe with tobacce. "Well, what were you about to tsuy?1' asked Weston. "But first fill your glas> and pass over the tobacco bag." "I was simply about to reiterate that I don't believe In ghosts, or value tluem any more than I do the Yankee sea serpent, a rope's end, or a piece of old junk; I never saw one, or knew a man who had seen one; but every one has heard of a man that knew another man who saw, or believed he saw, a ghost. It is at variance with the laws of nature, which are so ordered that no such erratic spirit can be." "I don't know about that," replied Weston; "earth and water have their Inhabitants, so why not the air also?" "And why not the fire?" "There you go, right before the wind, into the troubled sea of argument— you Scotchmen are all alike." "Ghosts are at variance with the workings of Divine wisdom, and we all know what Jones of Nayland says thereupon." "No, we don't," aaid Weston; "who the deuee was he—what port did he hail from?" "He who cannot see the workings of a DiviBe wisdom in the order of th» 0UB BUDGET OF FUN. 8OMI GOOD JOKES. OR1QINAL AND SELECTED.

"You hear him, Mr. Rodney," said Weston; "now he has got both his an- Slier and topsails a-trip; he can pay out whole speeches in t&is fashion, all at a breath, as fast as the chain-cable running through the hawse-pipe." Being fresh from Eton, I was not going to let our learned Scotch mate have it all his own wa7, when Weston resumed: "If you will listen you shall hear a strange story in which I bore a prominent part." "As the ghost?" said I. "No; but you will soon acknowledge whether or not I had cause for fear." And after he had replenished ht» glass and pipe, Capt. Sam Weston began in this mWfler: "Abo«4 fi^tSreiT^xears ago I *onnd myself at MatanzasTV Cuba, the same port we are bound for now—adrift, without a ship, and almost without a per.ay in my pocket, among foreigners, Spaniards and mulattoes, mestees and* quadroons, black, white and yellow. I had gone there as second mate of a ship from Boston, but the tyranny of our skipper wellnlgh drove me mad. During the voyage he had nearly killed three of our men for being slow in seeding down the top-gallant yards on a squally night. He beat them until they were black and blue with a handspike, and kept them for forty-eight hours, lashed to ringbolts in the icescupppers, that the sea might break over them, as he said, and cure their sores. "When I interfered to save a po£>r cabin boy, whom he had hung up by the heels from the main-boom, and waa scourging with a heavy colt till his back was covered with blood, he produced a bowie knife and revolver, threating to 'shoot or rip me up.' •'Just at that moment we were passing a Spanish ship of war which was at anchor in the bay, about half a mil* from us, and had the red and yellow jack of Castile and Leon flying at his gaff peak. One of the poor fellows who had been so severely beaten was then in the foretop, so I hailed him to make a signal of distress to the Spaniard." (To be continued.) lMsappolntment and Triumph.

If the great sky scrapers whloh/ New York has recently erected along Broad* way were equipped with the standpipe, with hose connections at each floor, as Is the rule in Chicago, the recent flro which destroyed the Home Insurance) building in that city might easily have been controlled, such is the verdict of fire experts in such matters who chanced to be in Chief Swenie's office one day last week and who were discussing the matter. About two years ago Matt Benner, Chief Swenie's predecessor, who, in company with his son-in-law, William Kent, commissioner of public works under Mayor Swift, manufactured the iron standpipe with fire-escape ttachment, tried to introduce the device in New York. The test was made In the presence of ex-Fire Chief Bates and the insurance men, who were enthusiastic in their praise of the system. But New York said she was not in the copying business. The standpipe was a western invention anyway, and, worst of all, it was in use in Chicago. "Why," said Benner, "when I was chief of the fire department the captain of No. 13 went to New York to show them the great advantages of the sliding poles we erected from the bunkroom to-the main floor in the houses, saving so much time wasted in descending the stairs. They only laughed at him and intimated he ought to be with the other lunatics 'on the island.' They adopted the poles five years later, however." Another gentleman spokAfe the painful does New York had^ro swallow when she was forced to adopt the police patrol wagon system, introduced in Chicago under the elder Harrison. She adopted this device onry when she was on the verge of insanity thinking up something that would do as weir.

It is hard to always be pleasant. ! Good-natured people are often irritable. ! If you knew the reason you would ! not be surprised. 1 Ever have Itching Piles'? Not sick enough to go to bed or not well enough to be content? Nothing will annoy you so. The constant itching sensation. Hard to bear, harder to get relief. Keeps you awake nights. Spoils your temper—nearly drives you crazy. Isn't relief and cure a long felt want? It is to be had for everyone in Doan's forming dogs here!"—Punch. Well Ground. It should be the #nty and of all Christian -people to help fellowmen.—Rev. R. 8. Dawson, byterian, Brooklyn, N. T. tbelr Doan's Ointment never fails to cure Itching Piles, Eczema, or any itching of the skin. Here is proof of it at the testimony of an Ann Arbor citizen: Mr. C. C. Church, of 530 South Sevi enth street, Ann Arbor, now retired I ' w i from the active duties of life, says: ! I have no hesitation in recommending Doto'B I Ointment. To anyone requiring a healing aad j soothing preparation it will prove invaluable. I suffered for years from itching hemorrhoids and thouuh I tried everything I oould hear off and ust*d remedies prescribed by scores of friends, I was unable to obtain permanent relief until my attention was called to Doaate Ointment. I wa.4 somewhat surprised after t S second application to notice wt..t a different effect it had from anythinx I had hitherto usedk Encouraged I used it strictly according to directions and in a surprisingly short length 'of time when you take into account the number Ot 1 ycdr* I was amicted the irritation ceased and 1 the infiammution was allayed. When Doaato Ointment cured me it will cure others. Doan's Oiutmeht for sale by all deal* urs. Price 50 cents. Mailed by Foster- Mil burn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., Soleagente for the U. S.

Erwin of this place and we know our patron* will read it with interest Savannah/ Ga., Jan. 15, '99. FRIEND BOB:—Sunday in the sunny south ( I have found the sunny south at last,) warm and pleasant. Birds, flys, flowers and the finest camp I ever was in. Level, sandy and an elegant parade ground, City water, sewers, street-cars to city, (3 miles,) in fact all the comforts of a home. Can't say how long we will be here but presume a week or two at the least. There are five transports in the harbor but they say that none of them are for the thirty- first. They are monsters with a capacity that seems unlimited. It takes a week to load one—take a small town on them. I saw one yesterday (the Manitoba) which commenced to load lawt Sunday. One went this A. M. (Bemainia) which has been loading since Monday. The Panama goes to morrow with three regiments and a troop each of Cavelry and Artillery on her. They say we go on the Chester which is now at the Norfolk Navy Yards for supplies. We are doing no work except guard duty. After camp was settled the boys were given the liberty of the town. The people surely use us Michigan boys right. The citizens banqueted the entire regiment in*, .camp, Thursday. They say "you Mitch-i-gans are all right, we-uns like you-ens." *ke—regiment is. practically perfect. There being very few cases of grip, measles and pneumonia. Only oue man of our company is on the sick list and all, with but few exceptions, are anxious for foreign service. I tell you Bob, 1 a in not ready to get out till I see that which I h»ve fought for. if my health stays by me 1 will come out all right although they say tbe island is tersible for sickness. I can tell you all about it later on. Well Bob I guess that I will have to call this finished for this time. You must excuse pencil and stingy paper, for anything "goes" in the army. Remember me to Mrs. Erwin and the children also to Grand-ma. Kind regards to yourself. 1 hope that the New Year will bring you good luck in your business. Goodbp and write me when you can spare the time. Address me, Care Go. 31 et Michigan. I remain the same old FBED. TATE of MICHIGAN. Tbe Thirty-fifth Jndi*. iroutt: l a Cbaaoary. I BTBPIIICN Q.

Berlin correspondents state that Minister Koeller has ordered the provincial council of Sonderburg to publish an edict declaring that parents who send their children across the frontier to Danish schools shall be expelled from German territory. The educational authorities have learned that in the former Danish territory of Schleswig-Holsteln many children have been sent to Denmark to be educated since the use of their own language in the schools of the duchy was abolished. The extent to which live stock raising is becoming a southern industry stating that in nine months of the present year Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi combined have sent 1,200 cars of cattle direct to the market at St. Louis, besides those that went to people of Texas and the Indian territory; these being finished on other grounds lose their Identity before coming to market. The significance of this statement requires explanation, and is given in the assertion that in years gone by a dozen' cars of cattle has been a liberal yearly run to St. Louis from the three states named. "Political banks," organized to receive— and Juggle with—the funds of municipalities or states, have yielded many shameful chapters of financial history. An occurrence of another sort has just taken place in Philadelphia, where the president of such a bank, which had failed, has given his personal check for $400,00 0 In order that the depositors may be paid In full. "I was the president of that bank," he told the receiver; "I am responsible for more than the amount I would have to pay as an assessment upon my holdings of ctock, and I am going to pay more," The president did a creditable thing when be went beyond the law's requirements to guard the business men who had trusted him; but perhaps he felt that, iince he had got into bad company— and stayed—he deserved to lose his money. Foreign correspondents report that the industrial associations and the syndicates of Berlin have jointly agreed to call a meeting for the purpose of framing a petition to the Prussian government calling attention to the enormous damage suffered In exportation to Scandinavian countries by reason of the continued systematic expulsion from northern Schleswlg of Danes, Swedes and Norwegians. The petition Will ask that the policy of expulsion be speedily discontinued. Reports from throughout Germany show the urgency of this more on the part of the manufacturing and exporting interests. The Danes* especially, are severing their commercial relations with German sBuntlints out of resentment for the •Wktlom of their fellow-countrymen from Prussia.

TALMAGE'S SERMON. *A GREAT WOMAN/ ' LAST SUN - DAY'S SUBJECT. til* Test* V U «M *BU*fc» «4 to IT., V 8—LodftUff • CbrUthtu Propkafc The hotel of our time had no counterpart in any entertainment of olden time., The vast majority of travelers must then be entertained at private abode. Here comes Ellsha, a servant of the Lord, on a divine mission, and he must find shelter. A balcony overlooking the valey of Bsdraelon is offered him, In a private house, and it is especially furnished for his occupancy— a chair to sit on, a table from which to eat, a candlestick, by which to read, and a bed on which to* slumber, the whole establishment belonging to a great and good woman. Her husband, it seems, was a goodly man, but he was entirely overshadowed by his wife's excellences; just as now you sometimes find in a household the wife the center of dignity and Influence and power, not by any arrogance or presumption, but by superior intellect and force of moral nature wielding domestic affairs and at the same time supervising all financial and business affairs. The wife's hand on the shuttle, or the banking-house, or the worldly business. You see hundreds of men who are successful only because there is a reason at home why they are successful. If a man marry a good, honest soul, he makes his fortune. If he marry a fool, the Lord help him! The wife'may be the silent partner in the firm, there may be only masculine voices down on exchange, but there oftentime comes from the home circle a potential and. elevating influence. This woman of my text was the superior of her husband. He, as far as I can understand, was what we often see In our day, a man of large fortune and only a modicum of brain, intensely quiet, sitting a long while In the same place without moving hand. or foot, if you say "Yes," responding "Yes;" if you say "No," responding "No"—inane, eyes half-shut, mouth wide open, maintaining his position in society only because he has a large patrimony. But his wife, my text says, was a great woman. Her name has not come down to us. She belonged to that collection of people who need no name to distinguish them. What would title of duchess, or princess, or queen—what would escutcheon or gleaming diadem be to this woman of my text, who, by her intelligence and her behavior, challenges the admiration of all ages? Long after the brilmen of the court of Louis XV. have been forgotten, and the brilliant women who sat on the throne of Russia have been forgotten, some grandfather will put on his spectacles, and holding the book the other side the light, read to his grandchildren the story of this great woman of Shunem who was so kind and courteous and Christian to the good prophet Elisha, Yes, she was a great woman. In the first place, she was great in her hospitalities. Uncivilized and barbarous nations have this virtue. Juotter had the surname of the Hospitable, and he was said especially to avenge the wrongs of strangers. Homer extolled it in his verse. The Arabs are punctilious on this subject, and among some of their tribes it is not until the ninth day of tarrying that the occur pant has a right to ask his guest "Who and whence art thou?" If this virtue is so honored among barbarians, how ought it to be honored among those of us who believe in the Bible, which commands us to use hospitality one toward another without grudging? Of course I do not mean under this cover to give any idea that I approve of that vagrant class who go around from place to place.ranging their whole lifetime, perhaps under the auspices of some benevolent or philanthropci society, quartering themselves on Christian families with a great pile of trunks in the hall and carpet-bag portentous of tarrying. There is many a country parsonage that looks out week by week upon the ominous arrival of wagon with creaking wheel and lank horse and dilapidated driver, come under the auspices of some charitable Institution to spend a few weeks and canvass the neighborhood. Let no such religious tramps take advantage of this beautiful virtue of Christian hospitality. Not eo much the sumptuousness of your diet and the regality of your abode will impress the friend or the stranger that steps across your threshold as the warmth of your receptiou, the reiteration by grasp and by look and by a thousand attentions, insignificant attentions, of your earnestness of welcome. There will be high appreciation of your welcome, though you have nothing but the brazen/candlestick and the plain chair tQ offer Ellsha when he comes to Bhnnem. Most , beautiful is this grace of hospitality wheel* shown in the house of God. I am thankful that X have always been paatoY of churches where strangers are welcome. But X* fcart entered churches where there waf BO hospitality. A stranger would stand m the ftsttbuls lor a whlk and then make a pilgrimage up the loaf aisle, Nfl^door opened to him until* fluahed a o ^ excited and embarrassed, he started back again* and, coming to some half-filled pew, with apologetic air, entered it, while the occupant glared e * htm with a look which seemed to say, "Well, tf I must, I must" Away with such accursed indency from the house of God. Let every ahurch that would maintain large Christian influence is community culture Sabbath by Sabbath this beautiful grace of Christian hospitality. • • • Again, this woman of my text was great in her kindness toward God's messenger. Elisha may have been a stranger in that household, but as she found out he had come on a divine mission, he was cordially welcomed. We have a great many books in our day about the hardships of ministers and the trials of Christian ministers. I wish somebody would write a book about the joys of the Christian minister, about the sympathies all around about him, about the kindness, about the genial considerations of him. Does sorrow come to our home, and is there a shadow on the cradle, there are hundredB of hands to help, and many who weary not through the night watching, and hundreds of prayers going up that God would restore the sick. Is there a burning, brimming cup of calamity placed on the pastor's table; are there not many to help him drink of that cup and who will not be comforted because he Is stricken? Oh! for somebody to write a book about the rewards of the Christian ministry— about his surroundings of Christian sympathy. This woman of the text was only a type of thousands of men and women who come down from mansion and from zot to do kindness to the Lord's servants. I could tell you of something that you might think a romance. A young man graduated from New Brunswick Theological Seminary was called to a village church. He had not the means to furnish the parsonage. After three or four weeks of preaching a committee cf the officers of the church waited on him and told him he looked tired and thought he had better take a vacation of a few days. The young pastor too.k it as an intimation that his work was done or not acceptable. He took the vacation, and at the end of a few days came back, when an old elder said: "Here Is the key of the parsonage. We have been cleaning it up. You had better go up and look at it." So the young pastor took the key, went up to the parsouage, opened the door, and lo! it was carpeted, and there was the hat^rack all ready for the canes and the umbrellas and the overcoats, and on the left hand of the hall was {.ha parlor, sofaed. chaired, pictured. hall, and there was the study-table in the center of tue floor with stationery upon it, book-shelves built, long ranges of new volumes far beyond the reach of the means of the young pastor, many of these volumes. The young pastor went up-stairs, and found all the sleeping apartments furnished; came "down-stairs and entered the pant.y, and there were the spices and the coffees and the- sugars, and the groceries for six months. He went down into ttie cellar, and there was the coal for all the coming winter. He went into the dinlng-hall, and there was the table already set—the glass and the silverware. He went into the kitchen, and there were all the culinary implements and a great stove. The young pastor lifted one lid of the stove and he found the fuel all ready for ignition. Putting back the cover of the stove, be saw in another part of It a lucifer match, and all that young man bad to do in starting to keep house was to strike the match. Where are the feet that have not been blistered on the hot sands of this great Sahara? Where are the soldiers that have not bent under the burden of grief? Where is the ship sailing over glassy sea that has not after awhile been caught in a cyclone? Wiere is the garden of earthly comfort but trouble hath hitched up its fiery and panting team, and gone through it with burning plowshare of disaster? Under the pelting of ages of suffering the great heart of the world has burst with woe. Navigators tell us about the rivers, and the Amazon, and the Danube, and the Mississippi have been explored; but who can tell the deptl: or the length of the great river of sorrow, made up of tears and tlood, rolling through all lands and all ages, bearing the wreck of families,, and of communities, and of empires, foaming, writhing, boiling with agonies of six thousmnd years. Etna, Cotopaxi and Vesuvius have been described, but who has ever sketched the volcano of suffering retching up from its depths the lava and scoria, and pouring them down the sides to whelm the nations? Oh? If I could gather all the heartstrings, the broken heartstrings, into a harp, I would play on it a dirge such as was never sounded. Mythologists tall us of Gorgon and Centaur and Titan, and geologists tell us of extinct ipeclea of monsters; hut greater than Gorgon or Mtfftifcartaa, and not belonging to th* realm of fable, and not of an extlact species, a monster with an iron Jaw and a hundred iron hoofs has walked across the nations, and history and poetry and sculpture, in their attempt to sketch it and describe it, have seemed to sweat great drops of blood. But thank God there are those who can conquer as this woman of the text conquered, and say, "It is well; though my property be gone, though my children be gone, though my home be broken up, though my health be sacrificed, It is well, it is well!" There is no storm on the sea but Christ is ready to rise In the hinder part of the ship and hush it. There is no darkness but the constellation of God's eternal love can illumine it, and through the winter comes out of the northern sky, you have sometimes seen that northern sky all ablate with auroras which seem to say, "Come up this way; up this way are thrones of light and seas of sapphire ^and the splendor of an eternal heaven. Come up this way." We may, like the ships, by tempest be tossed On perilous deeps, but cannot be lost; Though Satan enrage the wind and the tide The promise assures us, the Lord will provide. Again, this woman of my text was great in her application to domestic duties. Every picture Is a home picture, whether she is entertaining an Ellsha, or whether she is giving careful attention to her sick boy, or whether she is appealing for the restoration of her property. Every picture in her case is one of domesticity. Those are not disciples of this Shunemlte woman who, going out to attend to outside charities, neglect the duty of home—the duty o? wife, of mother, of daughter. No faithfulness In public benefaction can ever atone for domestic negligence. There has been many a mother who by Indefatigable toil has reared a large family of children, equipping them for the duties of life with good manners and large intelligence and Christian principle, starting them out, who bas done more for the world tha.i many a woman whose name has sounded through all the lands and through the centuries. I remember when Kossuth was in this country, there were some ladles who got honorable reputations by presenting him very gracefully with bouquets of flowers on public occasions; but what was all that compared with the plain Hungarian mother who gave to truth and civilization and the cause of universal liberty a Kossuth? Yes, this woman of my text was great in herslmplicity. When this prophet wanted to reward her for her hospitality by asking some preferment from the king, TWO GRATEFUL WOMEN Bactorod to Health by Lydia p. OozmKmnd.

He passed on to the other side of the I She~sald: T dwell among my own people," as much as to say, "I am satkfled with Ely lot; all I want is my family and my friends around me; I dwell among my own people." • • • What I want to impress upon you, my hearers, is that you ought not to Inventory the luxuries of life among the indlspensables, and you ought not to depreciate this woman of the text, who, when offered kingly preferment, responded: "I dwell among my own people." Yea, this woman of the text was great in her piety. Just read the chapter after you go home. Falta in God, and she was not ashamed to talk about it before idolaters. Ah, vfoman will never appreciate what she owes to Christianity until she knows and sees the degradation of her sex under paganism and Mohammedanism. Her very birth considered a misfortune. Sold like cattle on the shambles. Slave of all work, and, at last, her body fuel for the funeral pyre of her husband. Above the shriek of the fire-worshipers In India, and above the rumbling of the Juggernauts, I hear the millionvoiced groan of wrongedM Insulted, broken-hearted, down-trodden woman. Her tears have fallen in the Nile and Tigris, the La Plata, and on the steppes of Tartary. She has been dishonored in Turkish garden and Persian palace and Spanish Alhambra. Her little ones have been sacrificed in the Indus and the Ganges. There is not a groan, or a dungeon, or an Island, or a mountain, or a river, or a lake, or a sea but could tell a story of the out" rages heaped upon her. But thanks to God this glorious Christianity comes forth, and all the chains of tats vassalage a?e snapped, and nhe ri3es from ignominy to exalted sphere and becomes -tfie attectlonate daughter, the gentle yrlfe, the honored mother, the useful Christian. Oh! if Christianity has done so much for woman, surely woman will become its most ardent advocate and its sublimest exemplification. CURE YOURSELF!

Five electric railroad projects are under consideration by Grand Rapids capitalists, and it is thought that some « f the lines will be built this season. The projected lines are to Holland, Kalamasoo, Hastings, Lansing and Beiding, respectively. The Holland line is furthest advanced, and if satisfactory franchises can be secured, construction vrill bejf in in the spring to have the line ready for the summer readrt traffic Bow Over a School Teacher. One of the school districts in Col fax township, Oceana county, is all torn up over a first-class school district fight It was started by the school board hiring a teather who was not the choice of one faction. Charges were made against the board, and one member was firedin short brder, As a re- «ult, oertioraris and mandamuses have been flying in the air, and the school has been temporarily closed. Sold for One-Third it* Value. The plant of the St. Johns Manufacturing Co., located at St. Johns, and rained at $350,000, was sold under the hammer by Circuit Court Commissioner Marshall for $80,000. Geo. E. Clifford, president of the Wachusetts National bank, of Fitchburg, Mass., who represents about two-thirds of the creditors, was the purchaser. Creditors will get about 70 cents on the dollar. The factory will be kept running. STATE LEGISLATURE. Gov. Pingree has signed the following bills and resolutions: House con* current resolution, relative to the passage of the bill in congress limiting the hours of service of laborers, working men and mechanics employed upon public works to eight hours per day; house concurrent resolution providing for the appointment of a representative of Michigan to attend to exhuming and transporting bodies of Miohigan soldiers; house bill amending the act under which the bicentennial exposition of Detroit will be incorporated; senate bill authorising the board of supervisors of Midland county to la* sue bonds. Eep. Chamberlain's bill for relief of sick and indigent soldiers of the Spanish war U a good one. The tax proposed is not to exceed four lOOths of a mill on' the equalized value of the property of the state. This, it is estimated, will realize $45,000 a year. The prosecuting attorney, probate judge, county clerk and county treasurer of each county are to constitute a board to determine the needs of applicants. They can expeud for such relief an annual amount on the basis mentioned above, sending vouchers to the auditorgeneral of the state. By the adoption of the mileage resolution by the house it will certainly give the junketers a good fat grab, as each member of that committee could collect 10 cents per mile for their northern trip, making the total amount for each about 8150. The governor condems the above resolution and argues that the drawing of mileage on these junketing trips is unconstitutional, and estimates the cost at 815,- 000 if all house members go on the upper peninsula trip. He recommends that a fixed salary of $750 be provided for legislators. Rep., Burch assailed Gov. Pingree's message on the junket and says his criticism was unjust. The cost of the. junket as estimated by the governor would cost the state $25,000, and this Mr. Burch contends was greatly overestimated, as representatives had not drawn over 3 cents per mile in the lower peninsula- and 4 cents in the upper peninsula for mileage and $3 per day for expenses in the past 15 years. Railroad Commissioner Wesselius will shortly have a bill introduced requiring all telegraph and telephone wires along the tracks of steam railroads placed underground where thev cross the tracks. The present law requires constant inspection to see that wires are certain distance above ground. Nevertheless accidents frequently happen, particularly to railroad employes on top of freight cars, The following bills have been passed in the house: Kerr's bill providing for an -appointment of an assistanT"ffOm STATE GOS8IP.

The work on Sturgis' new electric lighting plant will begin immediately, and will be pushed to completion as early as possible. The table factory at St. Johns has started up again, and the plant, which is worth about $350,000, is to be sold to satisfy creditors. Athens is getting too big for the bucket brigade method of fire fighting, and a village fire department will probably be organized.

SPANISH PRISONERS. The The Natives are Aroused* The members of the Filipino junta at Hong Kong have issued the following statement; "The purchase by the American authorities at Hong Kong of a number of steam launches for river work in the Philippine islands is highhanded, unnecessary and vexatious. Domiciliary visits throughout Manila are exasperating the Filipinos. Their suspicions are aroused by such actions. The dispatch of reinforcements is incompatible with peace and the appointment of a commission is only a pretext to j?ain time.

Bad Axe people have firm belief in the idea that wearing sulphur in the shoes will prevent grip, so the whole town is treading around on brimstone. From Manila: It is estimated that there are fully 30,000 Filipinos uuder arms, and it is said that there are nearly 50 "Maxim guns at Walolos, some of them having been recently acquired.

Barled Under a Load of Logs. Harrison Blodgett, a well-known farmer, living about two miles east of Beiding, was instantly killed by the upsetting of a load of logs. He was going down a hill with a wagon load of logs, when the wagon tongue broke and it upset. Blodgett was buried beneath the logs, which broke his back and crushed his skull. Factory.

For the first time the house went into committee of the whole when they tackled the bill relative to the plank road companies. The bill provides that the companies keep their roadways in such shape as is provided by law. The committee agreed to the bill. The bill to take the place of that section of the present fish law, relative to the closed season, got a black eye in the first round. However, a motion for the appointment of a special committee of five to investigate the subject was adopted by a vote of 39 to 34. The following bills have been passed in the senate: GiddingV bill providing for the expenses of the Soldiers' home for the first four mouths, by authorizing a loan from the general fund; Flood s bill for the protection of fish in Hamlin lake. Rep. Brownell's bill providing for an assistant prosecuting attorney for Lapeer county, was placed on immediate passage, and passed unanimously, but a bill for a stenographer for the probate court failed of passage, and was referred.

Xhe Prohibitionists of Branch county have issued a call for a mass convention to be held in the village of Quincy, Feb. 8, to elect delegates to the state convention. James Govens, colored. Grand Rapids, is suing for divorce on scriptural grounds. His wife has a little daughter which he thinks is nearer white than morality allows. John H. Gotshall, of Flint, has been found guilty of arson by a jury. He was charged with burning Lee. &. Aitkin's barn. He will appeal the case to the supreme court. Military officers throughout the state who lost horses in the service have filed claim8 for payment. Unless the war department orders him to do so, Maj. Pickett will not allow a single claim. The bondsmen of ex-County Treasurer Charles Cline, of Ogemaw county, have given notice to settle the balance he had in the defunct French bank, which was $4,624.14, by the board of supervisors. A new laundry has been placed in the University at Ann Arbor, which is claimed will save that institution between f 30 and 840 per month, besides being a great convenience to the hospital service. A 13-year-old boy of Albion, has been making counterfeit money by means of plaster molds. His principal product was pennies of lead, which he used to work the slot machines for gum and candy. The village of Vtfrnon enjoys an enviable reputation as a prominent point for the feeding and marketing of native and western sheep. The number handled there during the feeding season runs up in the thousands. A dozen freight cars were ditched and an engine wrecked in a collision on the D., G. R. &. W. railroad west of Ionia. A heavy freight coming down the incline collided with a switch engine drawing 20 empty cars. No one injured. A suit for 820,000 damages has been commenced by Mrs. Elizabeth Evans against Chas. Hill and Peter Tonnilier. Compiainant alleges they sold her/husband liquor, making him drunk>which was responsible for his falling out of his wagon and breaking his neck, at Benton Harbor. In the recent investigation of the books of the Iron county treasurer it was discovered that the county had never collected from the state tbe share the latter pays of tbe wildcat bounty. Nearly 1*00 is due tbe county under this bead, and steps will be taken to collect tbe money.

Its lapse finds a remarkably small number of fugitives from justice in either country to profit from the fact. So far as known at the state department, Santiago Morphy is the only Mexican fugitive now at large in the United States. In Mexico there is one American, James Temple, who is technically a fugitive from justice and against whom extradition proceedings are now in progress, the charge being unlawful homicide, and in his cose there is reason to believe Mexico may grunt extradition. Again Breaks Oat. A dispatch from Manila says: Aguinaldo proclaims3 the Philippine republic at Malolos.—There was no public demonstration in Manila. The Spanish civil prisoners will be set free by the insurgents. Rival native authorities at Cebu are reported to be fighting, and the town is endangered. Aguinaldo's government cannot maintain order in the interior of Luzon and the native authorities are often murdered. If Aguinaldo commences hostilities against the Americans the northern provinces will probably attempt to shake off his yoke. Sick, Civil ana Military FrUeners Have Been Keleaaed. Advices from Madrid says: "Aguinattitude regarding the prisoners in the Philippines obliges the government to act cautiously ID order to avoid a conflict with the United States. While endeavoring not to make tbe condition of the captives worse, the authorities do not like to countenance the private direct efforts of families who are disposed to offer ransoms for imprisoned friends. It is feared that this might lead to exorbitant Tagal pretensions for the remainder of the captives. The question causes the greatest anxiety, as recent news seem* to show that the prisoners are being cruelly maltreated. Later—Gen. Rios, the Spanish commander in the Philippines, announces that all the sick and maimed civil and military prisoners have been released by the Filipinos. The general added that he hopes the remainder of the prisoners would be liberated shortly. Earthquake In Greece. A strong seismic disturbance has been felt throughout the Peloponnesus' (the southern part of the kingdom of Greece), espe«r;ally in the southwestern departments o: the peninsula. All the houses in the town of Philatra, in the department of Mesuenia, on the Ionian coast, have been damaged and the inhabitants are obliged to camp out. Two villages in the vicinity of Philatra were completely destroysd, and the villages of Kyparissia and Staso were also practically destroyed. Much damage to property is reported from Navarmo, and the shock was severely felt at Zante, the capital of the Ionian island. Fortunately the death rate was light. Think He Is a Smuggler. A man who described himself as James M. Schoeffer and said that he was a steamship passenger agent for all the continential lines with his headquarters in Cleveland, has been arrested at Hoboken on suspicion of smuggling. In a belt around Schaeffer's waist were found diamond rings, lockets, stickpins and other articles of jewelry. Five pairs of ladies' kid gloves were also in the belt. Beffardlng Cuba'* Postal System. A. W. Machen, general superintendent of the free delivery system, and chairman of the postal committee to Cuba to investigate conditions there, has returned. The cost of tbe postal service under the Spanish regime is approximately $500,000 a year. It is estimated now that the stamp sales on the island under nominal conditions will foot up 91,000 a dayr or approximately (365,000 annually. The receipts from the registry service is very likely to amount to about the Spanish total cost figures. Relative to Those Islands. A telegram with reference to the bill to authorize the sale of the Carolines and other islands says: The government, it is understood, will give the cortes an assurance that the islands will not be ceded to the United States, Great Britain or Japan. It is expected that the other nations besides Germany will bid for naval stations in the Mariana islands and perhaps also in the Carolines. Uie nortft- Over 4OO KUlal A late dispatch from Guayaquil says that a sanguinary battle has taken place between the revolutionists and the government forces at Sancaba. The fighting was desperate and the advantage remained finally with the government's army. The losses on both sides were heavy. More than 400 men were killed and 300 were wounded. Four hundred insurgents were taken prisoners. The rest of the defeated rebels fled toward the province of Bolivart hotly pursued by the victorious troops of Alfaro. Victim of a Lunatic Ira Crandall, ag-ed 70, a blind farmer, wos pounded to death with an ax wielded by Emmet Bouton, a crazv resident of Corry, Pa. Bouton had been in the ineaue asylum for a year, but was discharged some time ago, pronounced cured. Suddenly he again became violently insane and attacked Crandall with an ax, literally cutting him to pieces. Bouton has been locked up. Tortured With a Red Hot Poker. Mrs. Mary Bretz has been arrested at Chicago on a warrant sworn out by her stepdaughter, Maggie Bretz, a 14-year-old girl, who charged the stepmother with using a red hot poker as a means of chastisement. The alleged motive for this advanced course in cruelty is said to be a desire on the part of Mrs. Bretz to drive the girl from home. A New System of Government. Regarding the new system of government for Soudan tbe . London Standard says: it is reasonably certain that some diplomatic trouble will follow. The sultan will probably protest against the ostentatious neglect of his suzerain title and France doubtless wilJ leave nothing undone to nurse displeasure of the porte into a serious international ferment. Kx-Attoraey-Geaeral Gartaad Former Attorney-General A. H. Garland was stricken with apoplexy while addressing the United States supreme court and died within ten minutes. The occurrence came with startling and tragic unexpectedness, changing the usual calm and difrnity of the court into temporary confusion, while the dying man was carried from tbe chaes- £er in a futile effort to alieriate his condition.

VVA<Vi ***W BY JAJWES GRANT. CHAPTER V.—("Continued.) "In a moment his blue Bhirt was off and placed on the lift of the foreyard. This meant, Mr. Rodney, that as merchant seamen we appealed to the mano'- war for protection, and wanted an armed boat's crew. Thank heaven, auch an apppeal is never made in vain hy a poor Jack of any country to a British xnan-Q'-war, but the lubberly Spaniarda never noticed the signal, or If so, never heeded it." "The Yankee skipper uttered a fierce laugh. " "Douse that shirt and come down, you sir,' he thundered out; 'down instantly, or I will shoot you like a coon." •*•* "But, desperate with fear, the poor fellow now stood upon the yard, and while one hand grasped the topping lift, with the other he waved his shirt to the Spaniards. I heard the crack of a pistol, and next moment he fell a quivering mass upon the deck, stone dead, shot by the revolver. "That will teach you to make signals from my ship, you varmint, sniyelled the merciless skipper, giving the body a kick, 'and as for you,' he continued, addressing me, and ramming home his words with an oath; but before he could get further I leveled him on the deck by a blow from a handspike, and tossed his knife and revolver overboard. "His right arm was broken. There was a great row about all this before the Alcalde when we got into harbor; our bell was unshipped and our can- Tas unbent by a party of Spanish marinas; but the captain crossed the Alcalde's hand with silver or gold, and there waa an end of it. There was an end of my engagement, too; for the Yankee weathered me about my salary, seized my chest, my quadrant, even an old silver watch which my mother gave me to make me comfortable, when I first went to sea, and then turned me out of the ship. "So with nothing except a Mexican flollar in my pocket, but followed by toy Newfoundland dog Hector, I found myself on a wet and dusty evening on the great quay of Matanzas, which faces the bay that opens into the Gulf a f F l i d "Low alike in spirits and fundn, I had to endure being jostled by negro porters, scowled at by alguazils, ordered about by red-cappped and blackbearded Spanish sentries, who were shirtless and tattered, and whose brown uniforms and red worsted epaulettes tainted the very sea1 breeze with the odor of garlic and coarse tobacco. "The sun had set behind clouds as red as blood. The bay was all of a deep ^brown tint, and the shores were black or purple. I was very sad at heart, and thought it hard that I, a British seaman, should be tfeot* an outcast, and all my kit reduced to the clothes on my back, in the very place where the same flag that Pococke and Albemarle hoisted on Havana, and brought all the Don Spaniards on their knees in old King George's time. "However, that would neither find me supper or a bed. I lost or missed my Newfoundland dog Hector, and in the bitterness of my heart I banned the poor animal for ingratitude in leaving me. Just as I waa looking abont for a humble posada, where a moiety of my dollar might procure me a bed, a man stumbled against me. " 'Look alive, cucumber shanks,' said he, angrily, In English. " 'Do you take me for a negro?' I asked, fiercely. "'Toil are grimy enough for anything,' said he; and after being a night in the Alcalde's lockup house, I certainly was not the cleanest of men; bat now it seemed as if the voice of the stranger was familiar to me. I examined his features. M 'What,' I exclaimed, 'Hislop—Jack Hislop, Is this you?' "' Tia I, Jack Hislop, certainly,' replied the other, who proved to be my old friend, Marc's father; 'but who the deuce are you?' "'Your old shipmate, Sam Weston, who sallied with you for many a day In the Good Intent of Port Glasgow.' "For a moment his tongue seeised absent wlthoat leave." " 'What, you 8am Weston—English 8am, as we called you—adrift here at MitiTiBM among these Spanish land- 'but I can find permanent quarters for you till you get a berth. Do you see that craft out there in the bay?' " 'The polacca brig, about a mile off?' . " 'Yes. Well, she is consigned to my ' owner, .but was found adrift, abandoned by all her crew except two, about fifty miles off, half way between this and the Salt Key Bank. I have charge of her now, and there you may sleep every night if you choose. What say you to that?' " 'That I thank you, old shipmate, with all my heart, but—but ' " 'What?' " 'I have heard of that polacca, and that two of her crew who remained on board ' " *Were dead; yes, true enough. They were found in their berths, one on the starboard, and the other on the port side of the cabin. But what of that? I buried them off the point of Santa Cruz, and there they sleep sound enough, believe me, each with a couple of cold, shot at his heels. Here is the key of the companion hatch, and take my revolver with you, for picaros are pretty common hereabouts.' "'Thanks, Hislop,' said I; 'but how am I to get on board?' " 'Scull over to her in the punt that is moored beside the quay. When on board make yourself quite at home, for the agent and I left plenty of grog, beef, biscuits and tobacco in the cabin. On the morrow I'll overhaul you, in the forenoon watch. Till then, good-by;' and before I could say anything mere old Jack was gone, and I found myself alone on the stone mole, with the key of the polacca's companion in my hand. "There seemed nothing for me but to accept the temporary home thus offered; so, in the hope tha,t it might lead to something better, I stepped into the light punt, cast loose the painter, and after a few minutes' vigorous sculling found myself on the lonely i*.ck of the silent polacca. "Her canvass was unbent; most of the running rigging had also been taken off her and stowed away—so her tall and taper spars pxood nakedly up from the straight dush deck, with a sharp rake aft. —"Thick banko of dark-blue M 'Aye, adrift sure enough,' said I, as we shook hands heartily, and iaen adjommoa to t tabetma, whoa I told him all about a y quarrel with the Yanktt and a y pees eat hopeless condition. a gtaas of nor* -norMratt 1 1 have a brig hart om the grid- AH s*y c m * am of I ABB. wUfc »4rtM*V atisV HM*»;j were coming heavily up from the Gulf of Florida. The air was hot and sulphurous; some drops of rain, warm and broad as doubloons, began to splash upon the deck and to make circles on the sea; while at the far edge of the horizon a narrow streak of bright moonlight, against which the waves were seen chasing each other, glittered through the flying scud, the bottom of which was uplifted in the offing, like a dark curtain that was battered and rent. "Then a flaBh of red lightning, tipping c/\e waves with fire, shone, but to be replaced by instant darkness, and all became black chaos to seaward, save where a pale-green beacon burned steadily at Santa Cruz, on the western side of the bay. "These signs prognosticated a rough night, but I was glad to perceive that the polacca was well moored at stem and stern; so I unlocked the companion door and descended, not without a shudder, into the, dark and cold cabin, where the dead men had been found, and where all wa£ silence and gloom. "I struck a lucifer match; my teeth chattered; and while groping about for a candle, to make myself comfortable for the night, I began to wish I had remained on shore. "I found a ship-lantern with the fagend of a candle in it. and this, when lighted, enabled me to take a survey of the cabin; which stood on the table and when looking about, found my eyes wander so incessantly to the side berths in which the dead Spaniards had been found, that at last I almost fancied their pale sharp profiles and rigid figures were visible in the flickering light of the candle. " 'Come,' said I, 'Sam Weston—this will never do! Are you tf man, oar have you become a child again?' "Another application—& long one. too—to the rum Jar, and I wrapped some bunting, a rug, and a pea-jacket that lay on the locker, round me, and lay down on the cabin floor to sleep; and scarcely had I stretched myself there when the candle flared up, and, after easting some strange kaleidoscopic figures on the beams overhead, through the perforated lantern-top— went out! "I was la total darkness now* bat more awake than ever! "I felt as If la a great floating oofln. bait hoard no sound except the gvgto of the soa under the counter, or tfce spUah of the stem warp, as it wfcjpnad th* watte oooaatooaHy. , 1 k**t mr «rss dosed rtoat«tsij. tiM could not help thinking of tht two poor fellows who had died in the berths of that cold, dark, and silent cabin, and had been tossed to and fro so long upon the sea before they received Christian burial. "Which had died first—the man in the larboard, or he in tht starboard berth? Why were they thus abandoned? What had they said to each other? What messages had they sent to wife, to father, or mother? What tale of love to repeat—of guilt to reveal— messages given by the dead to the dead, and never delivered! These thoughts crowded upon me till I almost imagined the dead men lay there still, and that they might rise up and give their last messages to me. Then I heard a sound in the forehold. It made my blood curdle! Was it caused by rats? Perhaps they had fed on the dead Spaniards and now were come to take a nibble at me. Rats were "bad enough, but ghosts were worse. I took a third and last pull at the Jamaica jar; said my prayers over again, with more than usual devotion, adding thereto the wish that I should soon have a spiking craft of my own. "Still the idea of the two dead men, with their pale faces and unclosed eyes, would come before me again and again, and I could have groaned but for dread of some similar response that might make my heart wither up and my flesh creep. And creep it soon did; for, just as this horrid idea of an overstrained fancy, fostered by imagination and fashioned out of the silence and darkness, became strongest within me, what were my emotions—how painful the throbbing of my heart—on beholding a strange, green, ghastly light glimmering about, and playing within each of the side berths. ""rifrile shrinking into a corner of the cabin, with eyeballs straining, I" gazed at them alternately* with a species of horrid fascination. The two lights were weird, wavering and pale; they seemed to me as two warmings from the land of spirits, for they played upon the curtain and in the recess of each berth, port and starboard in which a dead man had been found. And while these lights shone. *here came upon my ear the palpable sound of a heavy breathing and snorting, as from the oppressei chest of some one, close by me. "I placed my hands upon my «yes and on my ears to shut out these horrid lights and sounds; but when I looked again the former had diseappeared, and all was opaque darknee*. "On putting forth my hand to rise, a cry of uncontrollable terror escaped me—a yell that ?ang in wild echoes thrdugh the silent polacca—when my fingers came in contact with something icy, ana thenTa com, clammy, and wet head of hair! "Then two glistening eyes seemed to peer and to glare into mine! "In horror and bewilderment, and followed by something, I knew not what, I sprang up the companion, and, half fainting, reached the deck of the polacca. Then I turned to find that the object which had excited so much dismay was no other than my poor dog Hector, which had Bwam off to the brig in pursuit of me. "The eyes that in the dark seemed to glare into mine, were his; the icy object, from which my fingers shrank, was his honest black nose; and what seemed a wet head of hair, was bis own curly front; while the lights—the mysterious lambent" lights—that had flicekered about the dead men's berths, proved to be nothing more than the green beacon on the promontory of Santa Cruz, which shone at times through the two stern windows of the polacca. ; "Being moored with the chain caWe ahead and a manllla warp from her port quarter to a buoy astern, she swung to and fro a little with the ebb and flow of the tide; hence the oscillation which caused the moving gleams that terrified me. " 'Ha! ha!' said I, on descending into the cabin, a wiser and a more sleepy man, 'scared by,my own dog Hector! I have been as great a gull as ever touched salt water/ "A fortnight afterwards I shipped with old Jack Hislop as second mate, and the fifteenth day saw us running before a smart topgallant breeze into the Gulf of Florida, bound with a cargo of rum, sugar and molasses for the Clyde. "So that Is my ghost yarn. It con* veys a moral, does it not? Order them to strike the bell forward. Hislop, call the watch; see how her head bears, and let us turn in." (To be continued.)

Ton DO1NO8 OP CONGRESS. , The river and harbor bill has been completed. It carries appropriations for the ensuing fiscal year aggregating •32,503,138, and in addition to this continuing contracts are authorized aggregating 916,791,538. Other conditional appropriations contingent upon securing certain results, amount to 9770,000, but the payments on these would probably be postponed beyond the ensuing year. Of the above amount Michigan gets 83,638,176, which is divided as follows: Cash for harbors, 9573,000; new continuous contracts for three harbors, 9615,000; cash for rivers, 9304,560; new continuous contracts for Hay lake and Detroit river 91,055,615. The house coinage, weights and ! measures committee has made a favor- ! able report on the substitute for Rep. • Hill's bill to fix the standard of value I in the United States and for other pur- I poses. The bill provides in substance j that the standard of value in the j United States shall be the gold dollar, that all contracts existing and in the future shall be computed in reference to that standard, that there shall be j established in the treasury a department of issue and redemption, that the greenbacks shall be retired and upon retirement that gold bills shall be substituted therefor. By request of the secretary of the treasury the war department has ordered the American officials in Porto Rico to enfoi'ce the Chinese exclusion laws of this country in Porto Rico. Under this regulation no Chinaman can be admitted to Porto Rico without compliance with the laws of the United States. Chinamen will be allowed to go backward and forward between this country and Porto Rico without restriction. They will not be allowed to go from Cuba to Porto Rico. The shipping bill, providing a system of bounties for American ships, has been favorably acted on by the house committee on merchant marine and fisheries. The vote was on party lines, the Democratic members opposing a report. Amendments were made embodying in suggestions by ex-Senator Edmunds in behalf of the shipping interests. The senate spent one whole day in executive session wrangling over the promotion of Sampson and Schley and other naval officers engaged in the Santiago campaign. The main talk was over th« policy of advancement, and the navy department and the whole system was attacked, but nothing only talk was accomplished. The only action of public importance in the house was the passage of the bill to extend the navigation laws of the United States to the Hawaiian islands. One of the provisions of the bill grants American registers to all vessels flying the-Hawaiian flag-ow-ned by Hawaiian citizens, July 7, 1898. A resolution offered by Mr. Caffery (La.), requesting from the President any information he may have received from agents or representatives of the so-called Philippine republic relative to conditions in the Philippine islands, was adopted. After spending 45 minutes in executive session the senate decided to vote* on the peace treaty with Spain Feb. 6. A portion of each day's session previous to that date will be spent in executive session discussing the treaty. The senate committee on commerce has agreed to report favorably Senator Hanna's steamship subsidy bill. A few ammendments have been made to the bill but not such as to change the character of the measure. It now looks as though the one dollar lumbermen would be winners, but would have to accept a compromise of 81.00, and this the Canadians say would not be of any advantage to them whatever. There was no obstruction and pension bills were passed with great dispatch. In all exactly 50, most of them senate bills, were passed. No prominent people were beneficiaries. A house joint resolution was passed re-appointing James B. Angell, of Michigan, as one of regents of the Smithsonian Institution. THE MARKETS.

Just why the bicycle should be made heavier expeits are unable to determine, except that it may be In consequence of pnbMc judgment which is, in fact, but the reaction from the mania for ihe light wheels of a couple of years ago. There is, according to the best authorities, no reason why bicycles should be made heavier tfcnn heretofore. At one time some extremely fine models were gotten out which weighed between seventeen and eighteen pounds. These were racing wheels exclusively, while the light roads:ers, with or without brakes, weie anywhere from twenty to twenty-five pounds. Of course, the extremely fine quality required for the very lightest wheels ts expensive, and the demand for cheaper wheels has been used, whether or not admits of very HtUe ariniment as the reason for increase in weight.

Primalily it reaches back to one life. Let us look at the links in this chain of evolution.' | First: A Boston school teacher, going each day from her home iu one of the beautiful suberbs to her school house in the heart of j the city. She felt a lougiug to carry some of the beauty and freshness of tlie greea world into tbe stifled lives Bbe saw about her and BO she drew upon her own and her neighbors gardens, a u d each day passed through the streets with her arms filled with flowers which she gave to those about her. The children soon became more accustomed to watcb for her coming, to crowd around her with eager clauioriugs till her daily j o u m e y b e c a m e a t r i u m p h a l j th« Pinckney IMepaiclt, a newspaper printed, pub. . . T i . * ' llxn^d and circulating in said county, said publi passage, leaving light, perfume aud gladness in its wake. Second: A friend, kuowing that summer's work, felt that its beneficent influence should not be confined to one locality, and wrote its simple record for one of the large religious papers. Third: An invalid in a far away city read that record. Sbe bad long since passed through tbe Gethsemaue of recognizing her self as hopelessly cut off from her young activities; of knowing that the" couch" upon wliich" shir lay must be henceforth the center of her life. It rumaiued for her to say whether or not it should also be the circumference. Bravely she bad faced that question. In touching submission she had bowed 'neatb the affliction but with a faith and courage indomitable she bad also risen above it, aud her sick chamber was known as the center of many beneficeucies which reached out to others. The story of that Boston teacher's work fell as seed iu a prepared soil. Why should she not establish such a work in hnr own city, Louisville, Ky. True, she could neither gather nor distribute the flowers, but others <*ouId and sbe could direct their work. Quietly she begau her work, but quick hands were ready to tike until its scope and province ed far beyond her thought. Fourth: The President of the National W C T U was riding through tbe streets of Louisville with one of thte most loved and UNDERTAKER AND EMBALMER. J. G. SAYL PLAINFIELD, MICH.

Too many marriages are for publication only and not as a guaranty of good faith. Knowledge may be power, but it's seldom powerful enough to move a stubborn man.

Education begins at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within the hearing of little children tends towards the formation of their character. . Ehud was a rular In Israel. He was left-handed, and, what was peculiar about the tribe of Benjamin, to which be belonged, there were in it seven hundred left-handed men, and, yet, so dexterous had they all become in the use of the left hand, that the Bible says they could sling stones at a hair'sbreadth, and not miss. Well, there was a king by the name of Eglon, who was an oppressor of Israel. He imposed upon them a most outrageous tax. Ehud, the man of whom I first spoke, had a divine commission to destroy that oppressor. He came, pretending that he was going to pay the tax, and asked to see King Eglon. He was told he was in the summer-house, the place to which the king retired when it was too hot to sit in the palace. This summer-house was a place surrounded by flowers, and trees, and springing fountains, and warbling birds. Ehud entered the summerhouse and said to King figlon that he had a secret errand with him. Immediately all the attendants were waved out of the royal presence. King Eglon risea up to receive- the messenger. Ehud, the left-hand^ man, puts his left hand to his right side, pulls out a dagger, and thrusts Eglon through until the haft went In after the blade. Eglon falls. Ehud comes forth to blow a trumpet of liberty amidst the mountains of Ephraim, and a great host is marshaled, and proud Moab submits to the conqueror, and Israel is free. See, O Lord, let all thine enemies perish! So, O Lord, let all thy friends triumph! I learn first from this subject the power of left-handed men. There are some men who, by physical organization, have as much strength in their left hand as in their right hand, but there is something In the writing of this text which implies that Ehud had some defect in his right hand which compelled him to use his left. Oh, the power of left-handed men! Genius is often self-observant, careful of itself, not given to much toil, burning incense to its own aggrandizement; while many a man, with no natural endowments, actually defective in physical and mtntnl or-cf>rti>nt<nw. r»ftg ftn pftr- Hanna's vehement assertion that he isn't a boss is interesting aB well as encouraging. It seems to indicate that 'bis exterior is growing less pachydermatous. Capt Sigsbee's statement that the signal "Remember the Maine" was never displayed in oflir navy does not change the fact that the Maine was remembered. A just knowledge of the maxims we 'ought to follow in the course of life is the principal object of wisdom; and virtue consists in putting them constantly in practice. The list of experts, clerks, messengers, pages and janitors who will help Commissioner Feck to look after America's exhibit at the exposition of 1900 shows that emoluments have been pretty evenly divided between Paris, New York and Chicago. The Parisians are probably put on to explain to visitors what the Americans are trying to do. ' " • • ' • ' ' • * - . * •" ' 1 ' ' " Prot Charles Eliot Norton accepts the expansion policy as Inevitable and thinks this country will succeed as a colonial' power "after making some blunders and paying for them." Prot Norton, it may be remarked, has also made some blunders, especially during the past summer, and is still paying for 'them, and is therefore competent to speak on tfcis phase of the subject. The seed* purchased in Russia by Prof. N. E. Hansea, special agent of the department, for introduction into the. United States, upon their receipt in Washington were found to contain a large amount of weed seed, in many oases of kinds not yet known in the tfottod States; On account of the lack r of eeed cleaning machinery in the dis- . trials in which the seed wai purchased It was impossible to get dean seed. Brery paring*, therefore, was carefully test** In Washington city tor purity* «ad If found to contain weed seeds was oarefslly cleaned, either by miehlaery eaWstftttemOsatoth* nestness for the right, a patient industry, an all-consuming perseverance, which achieve marvels for the kingdom of Christ. Though left-handed, as Ehud, they can strike down a sin as great and imperial as Eglon. I have seen men of wealth gathering about them all their treasures, snuffing at the cause of a world lying in wickedness, roughly ordering Lazarus off their doorstep, sending their dogs, not to lick his sores, but to hound him off their premises; catching all the pure rain of God's blessing into the stagnant, ropy, frog-Inhabited pool of their own selfishness—right-handed men, worse than useless—while many a man with large heart and little pnrse, has, out of his limited means, made poverty leap for joy, and started an influence that overspans the grave, and will swing round and' round the throne of God, world without end: Amen. Ah, me! it Is high time that you lefthanded men, who have been longing for this gift, and that eloquence, and the other man's wealth, should take your left hand out of your pockets. Who made all these railroads? Who set up all these cities? Who started all these churches, and schools, and asylums? Who has done the tugging, and running, and pulling? Men of no wonderful endownments, thousands of them acknowledging themselves to be left-handed, and yet they were earnest, and yet they were determined, and yet they were triumphant But I do not suppose that Khud, the first time he took a sling -m his left hand, could throw a stone at a hair'sbreadth, and not miss. I suppose It was practice that gave him the wonderful dexterity. Go forth to your spheres of duty, and be not discouraged if, in your first attempts, you miss the mark. Ehud missed it. Take another stone, put it carefully into the sling, swing it around your head, take better aim, and the next time you will strike the center. The first time a mason rings his trowel upon the brick he does not expect to put up a perfect walL The first" time a carpenter sends the plane over a board, or drives a bit through a beam, he does not expect to make perfect execution. The first time a boy attempts a rhyme, he does not expect to chime a "Lalla Rookfe," or a "Lady of the Lake." Do not be surprised i t in your first efforts at doing good, you are not very largely anoosss fat. Understand that usefulness is an art. a science, a trade.. There was an oculist performing a very dlficuk opem t*» hussaa eye, A young you do that: it don't seem to eause you any trouble at all." "Ah," said the old oculist, *nt to very easy now, but I spoiled a hatful of eyes to learn that" Be not surprised If it takes some practice before we can help men to moral eye-sight, and bring them to a vision of the Cross. Left-handed men, to the work! Take the Golpel for a sling, and faith and repentance for the smooth stone from the brook; take sure aim, God direct the weapon, and great Goliaths will tumble before you. When Garibaldi was going out to battle, he told his troops what he wanted them to do, and after he had described what he wanted them to do, they said, "Well, general, what are you going to give us for all this?" "Well," he replied, "I don't know what else you will get, *but you will get hunger, and cold, and wounds, and death. How do you like it?" His men stood before him for a little while in silence, and then they threw up their hands and cried, "We are the men! we are the men!" The Lord Jesus Christ calls you to his service. I do not promise you an easy time in this world. You may have persecutions, and«trials, and misrepresentations, but afterward there comes an eternal weight of glory, and you can bear the wounds, and the bruises, and the misrepresentations, if yon can have tho reward afterward. Have you not enough enthusiasm to cry out, "We are the men! We are the men!" • * * I learn from this subject that death comes to the summer-house. Eglon did not expect to die in that fine place. Amidst all the flower-leaves that drifted like summer snow into the window; in the tinkle and dash of the fountains; in the sound of a thousand leaves fluting on one tree-branch; in the cool breeze that came up to shake feverish trouble out of the king's locks —there was nothing that spake of deuth, but there he died! In the winter, when the snow is a Bhroud, and when the wind is a dirge, it is easy Jto think of our mortality; but when the weather is pleasant, and all our surroundings are agreeable, how difficult it is for us to a>predate the truth that we are mortal! And yet my text teaches that death does sometimes come to the summer-house. He Is blind, and cannot see the leaves. He is deaf, and cannot hear the fountains. Oh, if death would ask us for victims, we could point him to hundreds of people who would rejoice to have him come. Push back the door of that hovel. Look at that little child—cold, and sick, and hungry. It' has never heard the name of God but in blasphemy. Parents intoxicated, stagger- Ing arouno*TEs~snia"w~ije"tf.—Oir,^t there is a mark for thee! Up with it into the light! Before those little feet stumble on life's pathway, give them rest. • * * Here is a father in mid-lire; his coming home at night is the signal for mirth. The children rush to the door, and there are books on the evening stand, and the hours pass away on glad—feet. There is nothing wanting in that home. Religion Is there, and sacrifices on the altar morning and night. You look in that household and say, "I cannot think of anything happier. I do not really believe the world Is so sad a place as some people describe it to be." The scene changes. Father is sick. The doors must be kept shut. The death-watch chirps dolefully on the hearth. The children whisper and walk softly where once they romped. Passing the house late at night, you see the quick glancing of lights from room to room. It is all over! Death in the summerhouse! Here is an aged mother—aged, but not infirm. You think you will have the joy of caring for her wants a good while yet As she goes from house to house, to children and grandchildren, her coming is a dropping of sunlight In the dwelling. Your children seo her coming through the lane and they cry, "Gradmother's come!" Care for you has marked up her face with many a deep wrinkle, and her back stoops with carrying your burdens. Some day she is very quiet. She says she is not sick, but something tells you you will not much longer have a mother. She will sit with you no more at the table nor at the hearth. Her soul goes out so gently you do not ex» actly know the moment of its going. Fold the hands that have done so many kindnesses for you right over the heart that has beat with love for you since before you were born. Let the pilgrim rest. She is weary. Death in the summer-house! Gather about us what we will of comfort and luxury. When the pale messenger comes he does not stop to look at the architecture of the house before he comes in; nor, entering, does he wait to examine the pictures we hare gathered on the wall; or, bending over your pillow, he does not stop to see whether there is color in the cheek, or gentleness in the eye, or intelligence in the brow. But what of that? Must we stand forever mourning among the graves of our dead? Mo! No! The people In Bengal bring cages of birds to the graves of their dead, and then they open the cages, sad the hires go tinging heavenward. ! I o I woald isrlnc to toe graces of year dead all bright tnoughts and congratulations, and bid them sing of victory and redemption. I stamp on the bottom of the grave, and it breaks through Into the light and the glory of heaven. The ancients used to think that the straits entering the Red Sea were very dangerous places, and they supposed that every ship that went through those, straits would be destroyed, and they were In the habit of putting on weeds of mourning for those who had gone on that voyage, as though they were actually dead. Do you know what they called those straits? They called them the "Gate o{ Tears." I stand at the gate of tears, through which many of your loved ones have gone, and I want to tell you that all are not shipwrecked that have gone through those straits into the great ocean stretching out beyoud. The sound that comes from that other shore on still nights when we are wrapped in prayer makes me think that the departed are not dead. We are the dead—we who toll, we who weep, wo who sin—we are the dead. How my heart aches for human sorrow! This sound of breaking hearts that I hear all about me! this last look of faces that will never brighten again! this last kiss of lips that never will speak again! this widowhood and orphanage! oh, when will the day o* sorrow be gone? After the sharpest winter, the spring dismounts from the shoulder of a southern gale and puts its warm hand upon the earth, and In its palm there comes the grass, and there come the flowers, and God reads over the poetry of bird and brook and bloom, and pronounces it very gocd. What, my friends, if every winter had not its spring, and every night its day, and every gloom its glow, and every bitter now its sweet herenfter? If you have | been on the sea, you know, as the ship passes in die night, there is a phosphorescent track left behind it; and as the waters roll up they toss with unimaginable splendor. Well, across this great ocean of human trouble Jesus walks. Oh, that in the phosphorescent track of his feet we might till follow uud be Illumined! There v, as a gentleman in a rail car who saw in that same car three passengers of 'very different circumstances. The first was a maniac. He was carefully guarded by his attendants; his mind, like a ship dismasted, was beating against a dark, desolate coast, from which no help could come. The train stopped, and the man was taken out into the asylum, to waste away, perhaps, through years of gloom. The second passenger w*as a culprit. The outraged law has seized _on_him. As tho cars jolted, the chains rattled. GF^^w^wCTe-crimeHte-- pravity and despair. The train halted, and he was taken out to the penitentiary, to which he had been condemned. There was the third passenger, under far different circumstances. She was a bride. Every hour was as gay as a marriage bell. Life glittered and beckoned. Her companion was taking her to his father's bouse. The train halted. The old man was there to welcome her to her new home, and his white locks snowed down upon her as he sealed his word with a father's kiss. Quickly we fly toward eternity. We will soon be there. Borne leave this life condemned culprits, and they refuse a pardon. Oh, may it be with us, that, leaving thia fleeting life for the next, we may find our Father ready to greet us to our new home with him forever! That wilr be a marriage banquet. Father's welcome! Father's bosom! Father's kisa! Heaven! Heaven! WHAT'S I N A NAME? Tines) Nothing—Sometime* • Fund of ^ It's a good old sayinjr, and a true one too, "Knap all men by their worka."

A Remedy for the Grippe. , A remedy recommended for pacientf afflicted with the grippe to Kemp's Balsam, which is especially * adapted to diseases of the throat and lungs. Do not wait for the first symptoms pf the disease, but get a bottle today and keep it on hand for use the moment it is needed. If neglected the grippe has a tendency to bring on pneumonia*. The Balsam prevents this by keeping the cough loose. All druggists sell the Balsam. BURIED CITIES. Many of us, no doubt, often wonder how it is possible for the sites of great cities to be covered many, feet deep with heaps of debris and earth, so that after two or three thousand years the levels of the original streets can be reached only by excavation. The explanations vary with the localities. The lower portions of Rome have been filled up by the inundations of the Tiber; the higher by the decay, destruction or burning of large building*. The ancient builders rarely took pains to excavate deeply, even for a large structure. When Nero rebuilt Rome he simply leveled the debris and erected new houses on the ruins of the old. Earthquakes are responsible tor much of the destruction wrought round the shores of the Mediterranean, for there was a current superstition that an earthquake came as a special curse on a place, and after one of these visitations the locality was often totally deserted. In places of rick. soils earthworms bring to the surface an inch or two of ground every year, while the winds, bearing clouds of dust, contribute their share to the work of burying the ruins of deserted dtles.

It is quite a little story, slight and this; so thin even, so slight, that I fear, in fixing it on paper with written words, to job it of its frail gTaee, its light savor. Why, then, when it was related to us one evening, in all the complicated and decorated luxury of modern talk, by the charming woman who was the heroine of the episodewhy did it make such a tenacious impression upon us all that It has become, In one little corner of Parisian life, one of those classic tales, patrimony*' of each group of society, to which allusion is always understood and welcomed? Perhaps because it was a clear gap in the chatter of Infidelity, in the hackneyed gossip of politics and literature. Perhaps because, as an attitude, a gesture at times may suffice to reveal to us a whole feminine body beneath its clothing—at times it also needs but a few sincere words uttered by a woman to disrobe her soul completely. We had been talking of mysterious solicitations, today classed and named by science, from which so few of us are exempt, which invincibly compel some to add up the flowers of a wall-paper, the volumes of a library, everything that is additional, under their eyes; others to impose upon themselves the task, walking along the side path of a street, to reach such a gas-Jet before the cab rolling up behind them is , abreast of them, or a public clock has struck its last note, and others, again, each night before going to bed, to practice strange habits of disposing of objects, visiting cupboards and coffers. We discussed all the light diseases of our contemporary brains, crumbs of monomania and madness transmitted by Inheritance after inheritance, and finally dispersed throughout the whole of our worn humanity. And we all confessed orr weakness, the absurdities of «;itr lvanlas, reassured by the confee '••; o* .he others, delighted tb find them like ourselves, worse even than ourselves. A young woman had said nothing. She listened to us, a touch of surprise on her peaceful, pretty visage, which was framed by even, black coils. Somebody asked her: "And you, madam, are you quite free of our modern manias? Have you not a single little nervous habit to confess?" She appeared to search her memory In all sincerity. She made a sign with SLEEPING IN THE SHADE, her head: "No, no." We felt that she spoke the truth, so much did all that we saw and knew of her, her restful bearing, her renown as an unblemished wife, lift her above the fashionable dolls who had just been confessing the unsettled state of their systems. Doubtless her modesty feared the boast of so complete an indemnity when everyone around her had acknowledged all aorta of little troubles. She corrected herself: "Good heavens! I can't say that I habitually add up the cab numbers, or that I make an Inventory of all my dresses before going to bed. Still, the other day I experienced something •that sufficiently resembles what you have been describing. If I have understood you quite—a kind of interior Impulsion, a force which compels you to accomplish an indifferent act on the spot, as if it were a matter of life or death." We insisted on hearing the story, and she told it most graciously, with the air Of begging pardon for the claim on the attention of others by so slight an adventure. "In two words, this is what happened to me. Five or six days ago t had gone out with my little girl, Suzon—you know her, she Is 8—1 was taking her to her class, for this big girl already follows classes. As it was very fine we had decided on going on foot by the Champs Elysees and the boulevards from my home to the Rue Lafltte. And so we were walking along quite gay, chattering together, when at the top of the Rond Point a lame man, -rather young, limped up to us holding out his hand without saying anything. I carried my parasol in my right hand; with my left hand I held up my skirts; I confess I had not the patience to stop and hunt for my purse. I went on and gave nothing to the beggar. "flajoft and I continued to walk alone U*-Champs Btfsee*. Tfat Uttis W k s l N s s s i l r ceased to talk, atttft also, wltbottt <ulte knowing why, *o aay wish to telk. TP« re*~« »t the Place do la Concorde, and y t i we had neither of us opened oof lift since we had passed the) beggar. A A « little by little I felt stir andllncreAae a kind of inward disquietude, and uneasiness, the feeling of having accom* pllahed an irreparable action, of being threatened, for that very reason, with vague peril in the future. In general, I strive to aee clearly within myself, as far as possible. And thus, all in walking, I began to examine my eonscience, " 'Let us see,' I said to myself, 'have I sinned very grievously against charity in giving nothing to that beggar? I never pretend to regard it as my duty to give to every beggar I meet I will be more generous with the next, that is all.' "But all my arguments did not succeed in convincing me, and my inward discontent increased—became a sort of anguish, so that ten times I felt a wish to turn back to the spot where we had met that man. Will you believe it? It was a false sentiment of human respect that withheld me from doing so in the presence of my little daughter. We are really worth nothing more the moment we act in view of the judgment of others. "We had nearly come to the end of our walk and weve going to turn the corner of the Rue Lafltte when Suzon pulled gently at my dress to stop me. " 'Mamma!' she cried. "'What do you want, darlingT "She fixed her great blue eyes on me and said, gravely: " 'Mamma, why did you give nothing to that poor man in the Champs Elysees?' "kike me, she had thought of nothing else since our meeting with that man; her heart was oppressed like mine; only, better than her mother, or more sincere, she confessed quite simply her uneasiness. "I did not hesitate an Instant "You are right, dearest* I said to her. "We had walked more quickly than usual, under the obsession cf our fixed idea; twenty minutes or so still remained before the class hour. I called a cab, jumped into it with Suzon, and the driver went up the Champs Elysees at a quick pace under promise of a generous Up. "Suzon and I held each other's hand, and I beg you to believe that we were far from reassured. If the beggar should have gone away? Suppose we could not find him again? Arrived at the Rond-Point, we jumped to the ground; we examined the avenue, there was no beggar. I questioned one of the chair hirers. She remembered having seen him; he was not, she said, one of the habitual beggars of the Rond Point; she did not know what side he had taken. We were pressed for time, we were going away quite distressed, when all at once Suzon perceived the man sitting on his heels behind a tree; he was sleeping in th« shade, with his hat between his knees. "Suzon went up to him on the tip of her toes and slipped a piece of gold Into the empty hat and then we went back to the Rue Lafltte. It was absurd, I know quite well, but we embraced one another as if we had just escaped from a great danger." The young woman stopped in full silence, blushing rose all over to have spoken at such length about herself. As for us, we had listened to her religiously. We seemed to have breathed a very pure air and to have drunk a very cool water at the source Itself.— The Academy. All About the Sapper. One who meets with a disappoint* ment is fortunate Indeed if he can make somebody else responsible. Witness the Italian farmer who decided that, better late than never, he would hear one of Verdi's operas. He took his ticket, traveled up to Milan from the very depths of the country, and, securing a good seat, listened to "Alda," but he did not like the music at all, and he wrote to the composer to say so. Under the circumstances, the far* mer added, he hoped that Verdi would see the reasonableness of at once returning him his money. There war his railroad fare, his ticket of admission, and his supper at Milan, tot which he inclosed the bill. The maestro entered fully into the humor of the situation. He wrote back a polite letter regretting that his music had failed to please, and inclosing the railway fare and the price of admission. But he added that, as the farmer would have had to provide himself with sup* per at home, he could not admit the Justice of that part of the claim, aad he absolutely declined4 to pay for the supper at Milan.

I had Rheumatism in every joint and in the heart, and I ktd Catarrh of the Head for SO years. I was so poorly that I lost the use of my legs and aims, and could not more without pain. I was so crippled that I had done but littlo work for seven long years, and our family physician, a good doctor, told me that my RheumetIsm and Catarrh were incurable, and I believed him. But now. after -using "5 Drops*' only two months, J can truly say I have not tftelt so well for seven years. Tiiis medicine does more than is claimed for it. At this time my Catarrh is much better .*nd I Lave so*reely any Rheumatism at all, and the heart weakness and pain are gone. My hearing is now good and my eyesight is much better.. I have gained more than 10 pounds of flosh and can do a full day's work.

It wards off Croup and cures the Hives of the child and causes 'sweet and refreshing sleep to both youne and old. 8I X TESTIFY TO ITS TRUTH. In a letter of Oct. 10.1S98 , from Mr. Kellems, he says: "I feel it a duty that I owe to God and suffering humanity to announce to you and all the world t h a t! am yet in the ring with untold thousands of others, to testify to the great merits of your vsfluabls remedy called "5 DROPS. " I believe I was the first sufferer in this part of tbo earth to learn of the existence of "5 DROPS, " some throe years ago. I was then badly afflicted with Rheumatism, Catarrh, etc., which my letter of Jan. 29,1896 ; fully speaks of. All I can say is "5 DROPS " cured me. To make a long story short, "5 DROPS " needs no recommendation in this part of the country, as everybody knows the "5 DROPS " remedies around here. I t haa cored more cases of Rhemansm, Sciatica, Neuralgia, and many other pains than any other m+didne that has ever been sold or heard of. For the last three years I have noticed the effect "5 DROPS " has on the sick, through my own observations as well as my brother, who is a practicing physician and uses the "8 Drops*' in bis practice. All ye that wish for further information, write and you are sure to get a reply without any delay. I will (as I have done in this letter) cheerfully recommend it to anyone that I may come in contact with. I myself can never forget what this remedy no* done for me and many others.

VALENTINE'S DAY. St. Valentine's Day, February 14, is so called from a saint whose tfirthday came on that date and who was a priest at Rome, martyred in the third century, but the saint had nothing to do with the observance of the day. It used to be the practice for every gentleman to consider the first lady he met on that day as his sweetheart, or valentine, to whom he was expected to send a present. The custom is now pretty much confined, in this country, to young people from 10 to 25 years old, to exchange fancy cards, souvenirs etc., either of a comic or more serious nature, but generally pertaining to love. < In the line of valentines this year we have some of the finest ever brought to P-nckney and at the most reasonable prices as we are bound not to have any left over.

A hospital has been established at Twelve Mile camp, on the other side df the glacier and 15 men are suffering there from the same cause. All were frozen trying to cross the glacier, but managed to get back to camp. The freezing of the Evjens, father and son, is particularly sad. They started for Valdez, but on getting well toward the summit of the glacier, found their feet freezing. Both started back.

At the time that 1 went before the-war board investigating commission 1 had only received reports from 14 of the commanders, Now I have 30 reports. They all tell the same story. The evidence proves the truth of tbs statements which I made and gives me overwhelming evidence that the embalmed beef was treated with chemicals in order to preserve it. I have auidavits from men who saw the beef ° underdoing the treatment or embalming process." (Sen. tiomet now Wants 000,000,000. Accoiding to a Washington special Gen. Maximo Gomez, the Cuban commander general, has demanded nearly 860,000,000 from the United States and refuses to disband his "army" until the money is paid.

DOWN ON THE FARM. TILJeri of tbe Soil Appreciate the Little Wonder-Worker. 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-worklag tillers of the soil be has found the burdens tbe buck must bear no lijorht 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 hard .such work is, the kidneys do. Long hours of work of any kind means long- hours for the kidneys, and they can't stand it without rebelling1. When the farmer comes home tired out a t nig-ht, if he only realized that the tired feeling's mostly always came from tired kidneys, and that the little wonder-workers, Doan's Kidney Pills, would right the wrong brought on by over-work, lifp; would j « a n ^ _ r v r w be easier for him. Head what Mr. Pierson says about his experience: I noticed when I stopped, lifted or chanped my position suddenly, y p y ,e arlyy in the faall of1 JKO,T, that I was always rewarded with sharp painsj ac th ll f b k d I h which are alike adapted for burden, Mghting and sailing. On exchanging the bearings—which, when vessels pas« each other, are usually chalked on a blackboard hung over the quarter—Weston and Hislop found a considerable difference between the Portuguese and ours; but, never doubting that we were correct, they bore on without hailing the carraca, as we passed each other on opposite tacks under a press of sail. The weather continued cloudy, and an increased difference was found on exchanging the latitude and longtitude with another vessel next morning. Then, after an observation at noon, Weston found that for more than fifty hours the Eugenie hail been going several miles to the southeast of her due course. The compass was immediately overhauled by Hislop, who found that the standard of the needle was loose. On that night there commenced a long course of head winds and foul weather, during which the compass never worked properly, and the captain and mate found, by the solar observation, that we had drifted so far to leeward as to be somewhere between the parallels of 28 degrees and 28 degrees 35 minutea north. Tattooed Tom and old Roberts, the man-o'-war's-man, were superstitious enough to give me the entire blame of all this, in consequence of having fired one day at some of Mother Cary'a chickens; an action, they averred, which never failed to give the*cvraft of the perpetrator a head wind for the remainder of her voyage—if she ever finished it at all. "If this foul weather holds for another day," said Weston, as he trod the dock with a sulktness quite professional under the circumstances, "we shall see land sooner than I wished." "iAnd!" I reiterated, brightening at the idea more than he relished. "Yes, some part of the Canaries— -mtret but we shall have very rough weather before another sun rises. I know well the signs, Mr. Rodney. Don't you see what is brewing yonder, Hislop?" he said in a low voice to his mate. "You say just what old Roberts, Tattooed Tom, and I were observing forward," replied Hislop. "We have not all of us seen a hurricane off the west across the small of my back, and In the mornjnfir was so lame and sore that I could scarcely get out of bed. The too frequent action of the kidney secretions especially annoying at night, plainly indicated that my kidneys were the cause of the trouble. I hud often heard Doan's Kidney Pills spoken about by my neighbors, and as It was the tirst time I required such a reparation, I procured a box. I noticed their I coast of Africa, a tornado in the Windwarvl iBles, and a regular roaring pampero att the Rio de la Plata, without learning something—eh; captain?" "I hope not! so remember that this gloomy weather, with the wind lulling away^and then coming again in hot gusts with a moaning sound—in my Pftrt of England we name it t h e calling of ihft sea'—are always signs of a coming squall." As the night closed in, the canvas on the brig was reduced, the royals were struck and the yards sent on deck; the dead lights were shipped on the stern windows; the quarter boat was holated within the taffrall, and there lashed hard and fast, for there were increasing tokens of a coming tenipedt* and ere midnight It came with a vengeance. The sky at first was all a deep, dark blue, wonderfully dark for that region, and the stars, especially the planets, shone with singular clearness and beauty; but in the northwest quarter of the heavens we could see the coming blast. From the horizon to the zenith, there arose with terrible rapidity a mighty bank of sable cloud, forming a vast and gloomy arch, at the base of which a pale and phosphorescent light seemed to play upon the heaving se$. This light brightened and sunk alternately. Now it would shoot downward w.ith a lurid glare, steadily and brilliantly, under the firing vapor, and then it died away with an opal tint. Sheet lightning of a pale and ghastly green, extending over ten or twelve points of the horizon, flashed and played upon i t Then we heard the rush of rain, as if a great lake had bee* failing from a vast bight into the sea, ajid the next the 'roar of the mighty blast; while furrowing up the ocean la its passage, the tempest came swoop- Ing down upon us and around us In a species of <*yhirlwi&4. Bravely the Eugenie met it, for her captain and men handled her nobly. She had her topgallant sails furled her courses up, the topsails lowered upea UM cap, and the reef tackles close «nt; but ah« swayed fearfully whoa careening beneath the hot breath of th« mighty Mart and elding over thosw neflciai effects in a day or two and I continued tbe treatment until my backache was cured and the other weakness was thoroughly relieved. I make no mistake when I say that Doan's Kidney Pills cure backache and kidney complaint. Doan's Kidney Pills are sold by all dealers. Price 50 cents per box, or six boxes for 82.50.

High si»e went over a sloping sheet of foam one moment, and the next saw her plunging into a deep, black valley of that midnight sea; so deep that the wind seemed to pass over us, the canvas flapped to the mast, and we only caught its weight and power when riding quickly on the crest of the next mighty roller. Meanwhile the green-forked lightning flashed so brightly that at times we could see every rope in the vessel, our own blanched and pale faces, as we held on by ring bolts and belaying pins to save ourselves frora being washed overboard by the blinding sheets of mingled foam and rain that deluged the deck, over which the eea was also breaking heavily every instant. Each time the Eugenie rose in her buoyancy, her decks wert half full of water and the long boat amidships filled so fast that a man with a bucket could scarce keep it baled. Following the whirlwind, we went round five times in thirty-five minutes, with the afteryards squared and the headyards braced sharp up. Then the black mass of sulphurous cloud in which we were enveloped seemed to ascend, and with the same rapidity with which it approached, passed away into the sky; "the chamber of the thunder," as the bard of Cona names it, became again clear, blue and starry, though marked by occasional masses of flying vapor. The rain ceased, and the Eugenie heaved upon a foam covered sea, over whicb there passed, from time to time, short squalls, compelling us to lower the double reefed topsails and run before tl ? wind. • Now a stiff glass of grog was served round to all, and by turns we contrived to got some dry clothing. In the end of the middle watch— about four o'clock a. m.—there was suddenly visible upon our larboard bow a faint and vapory light that s-:hot upward in the sky from time to time, like jets of steam. This singular appearance was high above the horizon, and first caught the anxious eye of Capt. Weston. —~fla1rT do you see that?" said he to me. '•What is it?" "The Peak of Adam—Teneriffe." lfThe great volcanic peak in the Fortunate Isles?" "Ol<»3 Tenny Reef in the Canaries, we calls it, oir," said Tattoced Tom, who was at the wheel. "It ain't a volcano now; but it can't give over ita old trade of smoking altogether, and blows up steam like a screw propeller or just »s a whale does water through his spiracles." "Tom means what the "Spaniards term tbe ventas, or nostrils, of the peak, through which the aqueous vapors come with a buzzing sound, and these cause a species of light," said Hislop. "Well thank heaven, though we are far out of our course, that blast has done no more than wet our storm jackets and scrape some of our paint off." "We have come out of it uncommon well, sir," said Vom, as he stood with his feet planteu firmly apart on the deck, his hard brown hands grasping the wheel, with the helm amidships, as we were still before the wind, and the light of the binacle flaring upward on his weather-beaten face, with its strange zebra-like stripes—at least, on so much of his grim visage as the peak of his sou'-wester and a scarlet cravat that was round his throat snd jaws permitted us to see. "The last time I was in such a breeze was a pampero off the mouth of the Rio de la Plata, but then we had our foresail split to ribbons, and the ship was canted over on her beam ends, almost. The mainsail was blown right out of the men's hands, and flapped In the sky like thunder, while the craft—a five hundred ton ship she was and all conperfastened— was just on the point of capsizing, when with« a crash that made our hearts ache, snap went the jibboum and topmasts off at the caps, just as you'd break a 'bacca-pipe at the bowl. She righted after that; but four of our best men were swept away to leeward, and never seen again. And now, Master Rodney, with all your book learning, or you, Master Hislop, with all yours, can you tell the why such things as tornadoes, hurricanes, pamperoa^nd the like, are sent to torment the poor hard-working fellows such as me?" "I can," said Hislop. turning his handsome, hut wet and weather beaten face to the steersman. "You can, sir." reiterated Ton loadiy and incredulously. "Ta«. is tour lines. Uatam: t n n elinrt of time as we had to spend on shore never occurred to me, but what a feat it would have been to relate when J returned to Erlesmere! The morning was early yet; the sun was barely above the now cloudles? horizon; so the shadow of this stupendous cona was cast not only over the whole island, which seems to form merely its base, but to the far horizon, perhaps beyond it; for there are writers who assert that in clear weather Cape Bojadore, that dreary and barren promontory of Africa, ninety miles distant, is visible from its summit. Did the waves of the sea ever overflow that mighty peak? At such a question the mind becomes lost in conjecture. As I am not writing a descriptive book of travels, but merely a plain narrative of my own very1 recent adventures, I need not detail a t great length, either the magnitude or the as- I pect of this great island-mountain of ! the Atlantic. ! From cliffs of dark-brown basalt, ! against which the ocean pours in vain its foam and fury, we ascended the steep slope of the volcano for a few ' miles. Then at Mir feet, as it were, we could see that fertile island, where a perpetual spring seems to smile, and ! where the fragrant myrtle, the golden ! orange trees, and the dark funereal ' cypresses form the mere hedgerows ol [ those plantations where the sugarcane, the broad leaved plantain, the luscious Indian flg, the trailing vine, the fragrant cinnamon, and the pretty coffee bush, were all flourishing in a luxuriance that filled us with wondei and pleasure. Further off was the boundless sea, of that deep blue which it borrowed from ' the sky above, and mirrored in its depth were the shipping in the roadstead, with their white canvas hanging loose to dry in the stm; the green woods and dark rocks reflected downward, and the old turreted castle of Santa Crttz, with the scarlet and yellow banner of Castile and Leon on its time-worn ramparts. . The summit ol the great cone, on the ! clothed sides of which we never tired of gazing, soon became lost in vapor; ] far above the dark green helt of many ' miles, named the Region of Laurels, I and t,hat other belt or forest of Umber, where pines, chestnuts, and oaks of vast six* mingle their varied foliage together, the mountain seemed all of a violet tint, which paled away into faint blue a t ita apex mingled and tart aaatt the gossamer ekxtda. (To bt> continued.) '* Ttrhape this storm ff«s' sent wits healing breath, From distant climes to scourge disease and death; T l a ours on Thine unerring laws to trust; With thee, great Lord—whatever Is, Is just.' - "Faith, you are right, sir," said honest Tom Lambourne, touching his tarry hat in respect to the mate, mingled with that piety which, in his own rugged way, a seaman is never without. CHAPTER VII. I Qo Ashore. The wlad lulled away into a gentle breeze, re**" after reef was shaken out until a full spread of canvas once more covered the apsrs of the Eugenie; and to repair some trifling damages of the night we crept in shore. As day brightened through clouds half rain, half mist, and wholly gray, or obscure, we saw the land looming high and dark. Beyond it In the distance there was a space of *vivid lisht; in the foreground, surf white as enow was breaking on the beach, and high over all, in mid-air towered the won- , drous Peak of Adam, on the eascora side of w.Mch the sun u s yet unrlsen • to us) was shining brightly when we | came to anchor in the harbor of Santa Cruz. We moored in £hirty-three fathoms j water, about half a mile from the shore, which in most places 1B steep, with green and lovely slopes rising high nbove it. As Capt. Weston proposec' r weigh next morning, he allowed tie to go ashore, but sent with me, to be a guide and companion, Tom Lambourne, the tattooed sailor, who had been frequently before a t the Grand Canary, and in whom he reposed great trust. He gave me a courier bag containing some provisions, a flask of spirits, and a telescope; and thus provided, old Tom and I, with such emotions of pleasure as two newly escaped schoolboys might feel, landed on the shore, which seemed to heave, sink, and rise under my feet—for after the late storm I still felt that which is termed "the roll of the ship." It was in this harbor of Santa Cruz that the famous old English Admiral Blake encountered, and within six hours burned and sunk seven great Spanish galleons, though they were anchored under the protecting cannon of seven forts and a strong castle, in the walls of which some of his shot .were shown imbedded for man? ytf&rs after. I cast longing eye^ to the summit of the mighty Peak of Adam. It seemed to rise sheer from the sea, over which, ! literally piercing the clouds, it towers • to tbe height of more than twelve id (eet; but the idea of attempt- Mimh it withte SCIENTIFIC FARMINCL Tha Iatrodartlsm of Baa Mad* I t Mmy Some farmers are still UTing l a thla country who deprecate anything in. the nature of an innovation in their method of cultivating the soil* oat fortunately for the future of agriculture, they lire rapidly growing ltaa. A few years ago the spade was conaidered the proper thing with which t o turn the soil, but for present day requirements it Is altogether too alow a method, and It has been superseded by the plow. The old style plow, however, was not much better than tho spade, and farmers demand an article that is light, easy to work and perfect in ita requirements. Without doubt the best plow on the market to-day is that manufactured by the Castree £ Shaw Co., of Owosso, Mich., and known as the "Owosso No. 1." This plow is made entirely of steel, and is the lightest, easiest running, most durable and Bimple plow ever built. The peculiar construction of their Colter, Moldboard and Share produces the lightest draft plow ever made—all the working points a r e steel, it runs true even in the stoniest ground, and buries completely all weeds, stubble and fertilizing crops, no matter how high or heavy, an4 runs so easily that a boy of ten years of age can handle it. It is beyond doubt the best all around plow on th§ market to-day. Messrs. Castree & Shaw Co. also manufacture th# Star Steel Land Roller, which is as far In advance of the old wooden roller as their plow Is to the spade. The drum is made of the best tank steel, and there Is no friction whatever. All the parts are interchangeable, and extras can be furnished on short notice. We strongly advise any of our readers who contemplate purchasing a plow or land roller to write the Castree ft Shaw Co., 73 Bond St., Owosso, Mich., for catalogue and full particulars before placing their order.'

The rape could be sown with onts or barley and when that prain was cut the raj-e would be ready for use. lie care fu) what kind of rape seed you sow, the Dwarf Essex is the best. The'paper, "Education in tie Farm flome,'" hy Mrs. Joseph Brown, was excellent. The greatest men we have ever known came from the farm in the past, and 1 think (hey will in the better—not as a penalty, but to (rive them something to do that would help the public. Mr. Beckwitb thought that the bicycle rider should build the roads. Miss Florence Marble sang "She was Bred in Old Kentucky," with excellent effect and tbe co-operative experiment tests were taken up. * Potato test, Walter Gorton:— "Got 6 potatoes each of 10 varieties, (rave them all as good a show as possible and an equal chance.

She said: "In this the closing ot the 19 h century, the great questions of culture study and bread study are being agitated to a great extent and well they should be. Education is not just the development of the mind but of the wbo>e man; today every part is educated from the kindergarten to the college. Cooking is not "domestic science,' only on« part of it. Domestic science implies the art of everything that pertains to the art of true womanhood. There is the purchasing, the saving or economic part, needle worh, fancy work, laundry and even nursing is part of do mestic as it is as needful for the trne housewife to know how to bind up an injured hand as to cook potatoes and meat.

The Young People** Ohristftin Temperance union of Chicago will co-operate with Bishop Fallows in creating popular sympathy with the anti-canteen movement A grand rally will be held in the near future with Bishop Fallows and Rev. Father Cleary, of Minneapolis, aa speakers. The Right Rev. Micbaol Tierney, bishop of * Hartford, who was elected national president of the . Catholic Total Abstinence union at the recent convention in Boston, has adopted the practice of asking all the children he confirms in his diocese to make a promise of total abstinence during the years of their minority. He has, also, by word and example, done strenuous work for total abstinence. Qen. Kitchener entered upon his great Soudan campaign with the determiuation of not permitting a single drop of stimulants in camp save for hospital use. Spirits, wine and malt Tquors were barred from the officers mess table, as well as from the regimental canteen, and from generals in command down to the drummer boys and the camp followers liquid refresh ness were restricted to tea and oatmeal. The victorious outcome proves the wisdom of this decision. Thuuks to total abstinence, the men have Beer guzsied down, as it is by many workmen, is nothing better than brown ruin.

The last wild camel in the Uuited States died the other day. While full particulars of the sad event are not at -hand, it is probable death was caused by the last straw breaking his back. German physicians say that no professional bicycler has a perfectly sound heart.. As nearly the whole masculine population is affected by the nicotine habit, one may query whether there is any casual connection between the latter fact and the former. As the alcohol poison goes to the brain, so does the tobacco poison go to the heart, possibly predisposing its victim to injury from any strain upon that organ. The causes wi>.h predisposes to bodily illness run through a series of seasonal changes. Spring has its relaxations and languors, summer its high heats and sudden damps, and the" autumn dies down with chills and levers. Winter brings more marked exposures, especially as we pass from hot rooms to cold ones, or from the shelter of our house to the nipping and eager airs or penetrating damps of the outer world. To many the coming in la quite as exposing as the pjlng out; and aa a rule those who keep too closely within doors are the most liable to colds and stuffiness. In truth, our rough and changeable northern climate la not unfriendly to health~and vigor. All depends on our way of talcing it; on prudent self-adjustment to tte condition*, and especially on not it too much.

Although these trucks will have a carrying capacity of eight tons and can be run on smooth pavements as fast as eight miles an hour, it is asserted that they can be stopped in their own length. By shutting off the air the wheels are locked and the truck comes to a sudden standstill. The trucks are built with wide tires, so that asphalt or macadam roads wll not be Injured by them. Property for the site of a power house has been purchased and a plant costing $250,000 is to be erected for the Initial operations. James H.

He will probably be one of the directors. This company will be incorporated in New Jersey.

A German inventor has just brought out a paperhanglng machine. It consists of a rod, upon which the roll of paper is placed, and a paste receptacle with a brushing convenience is attached in such a manner that the paste is applied automatically on the back of the paper. The end of the wall paper is fixed at the bottom of the wall, and the implement rises on the wall in such a manner as only to require that it be set by one workman. The paper, as it unrolls; is held flat against the wall and an elastic roller follows on the outside, which presses it firmly and with exact smoothness to the wall. The final operation is wh«n the wall paper roaofrtt the top, the workman now pulling a cord, whereby the paper IB cut off from the roll. THANKFUL TO MBS, PINKEA1L The Cyclometer Adapted to tbe Canoe. A clever adaptation of the cyclometer to the canoe was made by Lieut. Hugh L. Willoughby in a trip through the Florida Everglades, and described by him in a book. All ordinary means of marine measurement are useless in the everglades, and as it was necessary to keep a record of the distance involved, Lieutenant Willoughby devised a scheme whereby he used a cyclometer for the purpose successfully. He attached the front fork of an old bicycle to the stern of his canoe. In the Jaws of this was swung a 28- inch bicycle wheel, the tire being equipped with a series of small pail- I dies, BO fastened that they regulated - the speed of the wheel to that of the boat. The cyclometer was attached In the usual manner. Repeated experiments with the device demonstrated to Lieutenant Willoughhy that the slip of the wheel was constant, and that its trailing behind the boat recorded reliable measurements on the cyclometer even when going at a slow gait. He says that the wheel and cyclometer gave excellent results as a log of the trip. Canoeists and oarsmen might take a hint from this for their next tours on the water. An old bicycle wheel is easy to get, and it must add to the pleasure of the trip to keep an accurate record of the distances covered. Gothnm to Iluve Autotrucks. Autotrucks will soon be seen in the streets of New York, says the New York Herald. Platform trucks for carrying heavy machinery and trucks with high boxes for coal, ice or other commodities will be first used. Compressed air will furnish the motive power. Motormen who operate these trucks will have a high seat forward, with a double wheel similar to the arrangement on a cable car for controlling the power. One wheel will be for steering purposes and the other will open or close a valve between the air cham- Another Vising Maehlnto. From Russia comes a new flying machine. Dr. K. I. Danilewsky of Char* kov Is the Inventor. This balloon flying machine is based on the hypothesis that if a man's strength, in proportion to his weight, is not sufficient to raise him in the air, he can raise himself If part of his weight is subtracted, says the Scientific American. By the use of a balloon filled with hydrogen the weight of the man is eliminated from the problem and he can u&e all his efforts to propel and Bte-pr the balloon which supports him. The pictures show the relative I Words From Women Who Have Been Believed of Baokaohe —Mr* Pinkham Warns Against Neglect, size and form of the- great wings, which are sixteen feet long. In order to utilize the whole power of the wings for progressive movement it la necessary to rise high in the air and then the wings can be placed at 90 degrees without any risk of descending. In the latter case, to keep the machine from descending, it is better to open the parachute. On Oct. 8, 1$97, some twenty-five ascents were made in an hour and av.alf. Other ascents were made in the spring and summer of 189S with good success, the balloon being turned round and round repeatedly. The.size of the wings was decreased to 11 2-3 feet and the working surface was increased. At a height of 280 feet the balloon was kept immovable and was turned around.in the air several tlme~. It was found that the balloon must be inflated with frosh hydrogen every seven or eiyht days.

Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynu» Mass. Her advice is offered free to all suffering women who are puzzled about themselves. If yo« have backache don't neglect it or try heroically to * 'work it down," you must reach the root of the trouble, and nothing will do thia so safely and surely as Lydia E.

Remove the cause of these distressing things^ and you become well and strong. Mrs. S. J. SWANBON, of Gibson City, 111., tells her experience in the following letter: " DEAR MBS.

When the wood thus prepared, and after having been dried at a moder.t: temperature, is polished by means of a -•monthins; irsjn, the surri-s*; assumes a inosL attractive metallic lustre, the effect of the gloss being rendered additionally pleasing by rubbing the woo;', with a piece of lead, zinc, or tin. It if subsequently polished with a burnisher of glass or #poree!ain, if desired, thi wood in this way actually gaining thf brilliancy of a metallic mirror, so that, of course, handsome effects in woodware can thus be obtained. Twin Itnllw;iy Tunnels. While conducting tests on the first elevator installed for the Central London railway Gilbert Rosenbuch had an opportunity of procuring" the photograph of the tunnel work which.is here reproduced from Engineering News. This road consists of twin deep level tunnels. The principal reasons for using twin tunnels with a single track in each, one for up trains and one for down trains, in preference to a double track single tunnel were: First, the lower initial cost; second, ability, by reason of small diameter and change of relative position, to remain under tie roadway proper; third, avoidance of collisions as the result of derailment; fourth, maintenance of ventilations, due to the draft caused by V A N I T Y » A I R . New Yorkers are ceasing to look upon the automobile as u toy and beginning to realize its practical value. During the summer of 1897, when Lieut. EatneB and "Dick" Peters took some automobiles to Newport, several cottager..- litjutrht expensive ones for uBf! as jilaythir.tfs, and for a time the costly tad took precedence over all others. It was not until this fall, however, that the owners of smart traps could be pr-imaded to give up their horses in the city and use a humming, buzzing electric cab. One of the first person? to set a new fashion in this regard is Mrs. John Jacob Atftor. Mrs. Astor seldom u.-es hei1 ho!S<»-; 2fter dark. She has mude special arrangements with an electriccalJ concern whereby a handsome automobile and a reliable driver are at iri SCltNTIFlC_JOTTINGS.

A lover of the curious has just published a collection of names of inns and taverns in Great Britain, which contains many quaint and curious Lilies. Here 9ie a few of the gems cf the collection: The "Cow and Snuffers," the "Beetle and V.'cdge," the "Crown and Two Chairmen," the "Ass in a Bandbox," the "Case Is Altered," the'"World Turned Upside Down," the "Cardinal's Hat," the "Valiant Trooper," the "Complete Angler," the "First In and Last Out," the "Old, Quiet Woman," the "Man Loaded with Mischief." In Brussels there is a public house, opposite a cemetery, with the title "Better Here Than Opposite," while another, on the way to the same cemetery of Ixelles, has for sign, "Better Here Than Farther On." "The Case Is Altered" is curious, but not so very uncommon. The worthy host at Bradwell, where this name hangs over the tavern, explains the phrase after this manner: He declares that before his inn came on the scene the neighborhood was very badly served, but, of course, afterward the case was altered ' Uddly enough," says an American in Honolulu, "it is the half-caste and the native women married to white men who fear most profoundly tbe effects of annexation.

AYEB, Lowell, Axa The use of soaps containing ft disinfectant of some kind has become ao general, says the Medical Press, that observations on the practical value of such combinations cannot fall to be of interest. Dr. Relthotter has recently published the results of some experiments carried out by him with various kinds of aoap, having for object to determine their value as microblcldee. He used the ordinary mottled soap, white almond soap perfumed with notrobenzlne, and hard potash soap. He found that these aoapa were very Inimical to the cholera mlvrobe, a l per ent solution killing them In a short 3pace of time, while a 5 per cent solution of the potash soap killed them In dye minutes. We are, therefore, at liberty to infer that, as in washing the hands the strength of the soap solution Is never less than 6, and may go aa high as 45, per cent this method of disinfecting the hands, aa well aa the clothes, etc., is fully trustworthy. Most stronger solutions are required, however* to destroy the bacili of typhoid, the coil-bacillus, etc., not less than 10 per cent being sufficient. None of the soaps experimented with appear to have any effect on pyogenlc microbe. The practical result of these investigations Is that it is always preferable to use soap and water first of all, rinsing the hands In the disinfectant solution afterward. This Is an important point, which merits to be generally made known. C bin me Telegraphy.

The bill to recognise and increase the standing army of about 100,000 men, but giving the president authority to reduce the size of infantry companies and cavalry troops to 60 men each, thus fixing a minimum of about 50,000 enlisted men, passed the house by a vote of 108 to 125. Among the important amendments adopted before the vote was taken was one to exclude the appointment of civilians to positions in the engineer corps, one to abolish canteens and the sale of liquor ! in camps and one to strike out the provision for additional pay for commands serving in the West Indies, the Philippines and Alaska. The amendment of Mr. Cummings, of New York, to prohibit the use of troops In several states to suppress riots, etc., except Upon the application of the states, was defeated by a large majority. Very little progress was made with the army bill, the only amendment adopted being that offered by the committee to give veterinaries in cavalry regiments the rank, pay and allowances of second lieutenants. The time before the eulogies on the death of Rep. Simpkins, of Massachusetts, began, was chiefly devoted to a continuation of the debate on the advisability of retaining the Philippines. A joint resolution was adopted granting to the republic of Venezuela the privilege of sending a cadet to the West Point military academy. A senate bill was passed authorizing the construction of a bridge across the Missouri river at Lexington, Mo. The President has approved the bill originally introduced by Congressman Brucker granting to the city of Saginaw, Mich., the privilege of beautifying and using for a public park such part of the U. S. postoffice property in that city as he may deem unnecessary to hold for the purpose of which it was purchased, and the measare introduced by Congressman Wm, A. Smith authorizing the appointment in the fifth and sixth judicial circuits of /an additional circuit judge. A bill has been passed by the senate granting extra pay to the officers and men of the temporary force of the navy—two months' extra pay to those who served beyond the limits of the United States and one month's pay to those who served within the United States. The provisions of the bill are to apply to all such temporary forces, whether discharged yet or not. The army appropriation bill which will be taken up shortly will be framed on the basis of 100,000 men, and Mr. Hull estimates that it \vill carry about 890.000,000. The war department submitted to congress at the opening of the session an estimate based on an army of 150,000 men at a cost of $144,- ;es have been largely reduced. The house has entered upon the consideration of the river and harbpr bill and is making rapid progress. Fifty of the 88 pages of the bill was completed in a single day. The bill appropriates directly about 812,500,000 and authorizes contracts to the extent of 818,000,000 additional. The house has passed the bill to pay the'heirs of John Smith 81,000 in satisfaction of a judgment against Gen. John R. Brooke for trespass and false imprisonment while he was lieutenantcolonel of the 3d infantry in 1889. The American Newspapers Publishers" association have appealed to congress for n revocation of the present duty on paper and pulp.

They think so well of the country that tn addition to the privilege of obtaining a free homestead of 160 acres of land they have also purchased land. In I recent interview on the subject M4ssrs« C. E. and A. Hughes of Barnesville," Clay Co., say: "We are well, pleased with Western Canada. It Is far ahead of what we expected. We find the climate to be. warmer than we expected. As for the crops we have never seen anything that can compete with them. We have lived in Minnesota and have farmed tome of what they count the best lands' in the Red River Valley for ten years and have done very well Jp \hat part of the country, and have farms there at present free of all encumberance; but believe that this country (Western Canada) is so much better that we, have bought from the Canadian Pacific Railway Company one section of iand northeast of Edmonton in the Beaver Hill district. We have trav-i eled through that part of the country and have seen the grain in the granaries and the amount of land that it was taken off and find that they have grown as much as fifty bushels and over to the acre, and they say that this has not been a good year, and very little if any grain had been touched by the frost. Hay seems to be plentitui, and If you wlah—tu put up—1DT~ buildings you can get the logs within a few miles. Coal can be had at the mines for 75 cents per ton, or you can dig it yourself. Nearly all kinds of garden truck can be grown In abundance. We find everything that can be grown in good demand. The farmer* tell us that they can get four and a half live weight per hundred for hogs, and for three year old steers from fifty to sixty dollars per head, providing they are good. We will move into that part of the country next summer. All the people in that part of the country seem satisfied, and we do not see any reason why they should not be so." • The Messrs. Hughes also stated that thfiy would be very glad to afford anyone desiring particulars about the country they had visited the fullest information, on receiving enquiries at Barnesville, Clay Co., before the 1st of June next, when it 1B understood they propose to return to the Edmonton district.

Can a young person attend the college for 6 months and take up any one course? Yes. Has the sheep industry ceased to be of interest or why is it not discussed at our institute*? H. £. R»*«d answered by saying that an attempt had been made to have the question brought np at this institute bat could not do so this time. There is no money in sheep for wool, bat mutton sheep can be gutsd at a profit. Tbe question box being emptied, Hon. «L E.

The select ions of cows should DA the first thing and there is only one way to test a milch cow and that is by a Babcotk tester. You cannnot make a beef cow a good milker any more than a go^d milker will make a large amount of beef. Tbe stable should be warm, clean and light and feed good in order to make good butter. You cannot feed for beef and expect to set a rr*a> amount of milk. Musty hay or fin! der will not make good butter. He prefered shredded stalks to cut ones or even clover hoy.

He was put off because he would not pay 25 cents, although the ticket costs but 20. Hence the suit. The jury in the famous Journal boiler explosion case has held Engineer Thos. M. Thompson, of Detroit, responsible for the accident. "Guilty as charged" was the verdict of the jury after two hours deliberation, but they recommended him to the mercy of the Filipiuos quickly ! responded by opening fire from three i points, Caloocal, CJugalangiu and Santa ! Mesa, simultaneously. This was sup- ' plemented by the fire of two siege guns at Balik-Balik. To this tho Americans responded with a terrific fire, but owing to the darkness they were unable to determiuii—it^eflfect. The Utah light artillery finally succeeded in silencing native baitery. The Third artillery, on the extreme lift, also did good work while the U. S. cruiser Charleston and gunboat Concord, stationed at Malabona, opened a vigorous fire. The engagement lasted one hour. With daylight the Americans advanced and the California and Washington regiments made a splendid charge and drove the Filipinos from the villages of Paco and Santa Mesa, while the Nebraska regi-, ment captured several prisoners and one howitzer and a very strong position at. the reservoir, which is connected with the water works. The American loses are estimated at 44 men killed and 50 wounded, while the Filipinos will reach up into the thousands. Upon receipt of the news of the battle at Washington a cabinet meeting was immediately called, at which it was decided to crush AguinaldoV power in the Philippines, and Gen. Otis has been cabled to follow up his victory and occupy the islands of the Archipelago to as great an extent as his forces will preinit. The forces under the command of Cien. Otis, present for dut}*, number 19,510 men. About 6,000 more are on their way. but will not reach Manila for three weeks or a month. The insurgent force, according to the belief of the best authorities at Washington, number about 30,000 men. Although they exceed the Americans in number they are not comparable in personnel, discipline or quality of arms. War Notes. The insurgents ut Ilcilo boast that they have won their independence and have established a civil government. They will probably change their mind when a forward moyement on that place is ordered by Gen. Otis, and Gen. Milles disembarks with the 18th infantry and a battalion of artillery. Word from Rear-Admiral Dewey has been received which says he. has captured another schooner loaded with arms, and ammunition intended for Ag-uinaldo. It is said that the German consul at Hong Kong was concerned in the sale of the arms to the Filipinos. Our soldiers have complete control of the situation within a radius of nine miles of Manila.

Chairman Cannon of the appropriations committee of the house, in the course of the general debate on the sundry civil bill, sounded a note of warning against extravagant appropriatious and practically served notice that neither the ship subsidy bill nor the Nicaragua canal bill could be passed at this session. Although he specifically disclaimed speaking for anyone but himself, the statements he made, coming from the chairman of the appropriations committee, caused great interest. The house done some good work with the public building bills. The committee had reported 78 bills for buildings in 35 states, authorizing in the aggregate an expenditure of $14,060,- 000. Little or no opposition developed. As a result 40 bills, carrying or authorizing appropriations aggregating 811,- 304,^00, had been laid aside with favorable recommendations before adjournment. Senate committee on military affairs have agreed to report the bill introduced by Sen. Fairbanks for the reimbursement of governors of states for moneys expended in connection with the recent war with Spain.

The state department, after mature consideration, has declined to recognize the claim of the Austro-Ilungarian government for indemnity on account of the Hungarian strikers killed by Sheriff Martin's posse at Hazeltonl Ta., Sept. 10, 1897. The department's action is based upon a special opinion prepared by Solicitor W. L. Pcnfield. The Indian appropriation bill, which has been pending1 for several Weeks, has been completed and passed by the senate. The legislative, executive aud judicial appropriation bill was taken up but after 24 pages of it had been disposed of it was laid aside for the day. A few measures of minor iincourt.

They evidently considered his order the law, as they vacated the place during the night It is reported that the Ygorates, armed with bows and arrows, made a very determined stand in the face of a hot artillery fires and left many dead on the field. A dispatch from Washington says: Gen. Otis has been ordered to use his best efforts to capture Aguinaldo and hold him prisoner until further instructions. Careful estimates place the Filipino loss, for the first two engagements, at 2,000 dead, 3,500 wounded and 5,000 taken prisoners. Aguinaldo has already got discouraged and has appealed for truce, but Gen. Otis has declined to talk with him at present. The number of American casualties are still increasing. The latest report says that 59 were killed, 207 wounded and 3 missing. Reports say that Aguinaldo has already lost his influence Utougoout ,a greater portion of the Philippines.

The senate has ratified the peace treaty, negotiated at Paris between the commissioners of the United States and Spain some time ago, by a close vote of 57 to 27, or one vote more than the necessary two-thirds majority to secure a senatorial concurrence in a treaty document. The ways and means committee has made a favorable report on the bill for government participation in the pan- American exposition on the Niagara frontier in 1901, and making an appropriation of $500,000 for a government building and exhibition at Buffalo.

How many times in life a few words of jjood advice, coming" from a frieni} one can depend upon, will save us hours, perhaps months, of misery. The following which comes from Battle Creek will interest our renders. Dr. Oliver Guiteaux, Veterinary Surgeon of that city, a well-known man there, as well as in Kalamnzoo and Marshall, speaks of his exj>erience with the little conqueror and the result of a few timely aiJa OL yellow pumice were lying among shattered of basalt, which were studded wkh .srai1.-, and crystals that glittered :'s the sunshine suv-'.m'jti through a . ;tvine upon them.

The distniu sea, the waves of which fc-eomoi' lo Lank or slr-cp in the sun- .-hino, closed the perspective of this raviue; p.tid th :re w;1 could see the Eugenie at a.'tchor, with hor saov; ^.vhite courses loose and lie: other canvas neatly handled.

There a ciear spring gurgled joyously from a li.v.suie in the rocks; and now, opening: ihe courier bag, we proceeded to make our breakfast en the viands I had brought from the ship—to wit, bologna sausage and biscuits, with brandy and water. The air was deliciously clear, and over the brow of the rocky chasm in which we sat, there fell a natural screen of all the wild Indian fig and vine creepers.and these shaded us from the increasing heat of the morning sun. All vas still there. We heard only the coo of the p e a t Tvood pigeons among the gorgeous foliage, or the sweet notes of the little "I think I see her yet, Master Rodney, for she was the first vessel I shipped on board of, and hang me If I didn't love her as if she had been my old mother's house, near Deptford docks. "Her hull way long and low, and sat like a swan in the water, only that she was not white, like a u^au, but as black as puint could make her. Aloft, the masts tapered away like fishing-rods, crossed by the square yards, while stays, shrouds, halyards and hamper were always taut, as if made of cast-iron; tTut for all this, she failed to weather that gale off the Congo river. She missed stays and got Bternway, so you see, sir, it was soon all over with her after that." "How?—I do not understand." "Don't you know what sternway is? What do they teach folks ashore? She was taken aback in the hurricane—the most dangerous thing that can happen to any vessel—a sudden shift of wind threw her on her broadside in the trough of the sea, and with her deck toward the storm, so her hatches were soon beaten in—all the sooner that she was driven on a coral reef near the Shark's Nose, where the sea was like a sheet of foam around her. "Five poor fellows were washed away and drowned; but when day broke, and the storm abated a little, the captain, six men and I got ashore in the long boat, just as the poor Arrow began to break up, for we could see the waves beating into her a i d rending asunder the decks, the inner and outer sheathing, as if they couldn't scatter the cargo fast enough far and wide. "Well, there v.e were, shipwrecked I in a wild place- on the west coast of Africa, at a part of the Congo river where the mangrove trees grow into the water, and have their lower branches covered with oysters and barnacles.

My companion was a short and thickset sailor, about forty years of age, and whose figure was suggestive of great muscular strength; his hair was cut short, but his whiskers were of the most voluminous description, as he was anxious to conceal as much as possible of the strange circles, stripes, and grotesque designs with which his sun-burned face was covered, and which, by their form and blackness, imparted a hideous aspect of features that otherwise were rather good looking and pleasing. He was an intelligent man,and well read, for the humble class to which he belonged. „ "Aye, Master Rodney," said he, on perceiving that I was still surveying him with something of wonder (and his face was a point on which he was particularly sensitive); "you see what a precious figure-head these 'tarnal niggers on the coast of Africa made for me." "How did this happen, Tom?" said I, filling his drinking horn. "About twenty years a^o, Master Rodney, I belonged to the Arrow, a smart Liverpool bark of two hundred and twenty tons register. I made many voyages in her to South America, but at last, as bad luck, or my destiny (as men say in the play) would have it, she was chartered for the west coast of Africa, to trade with the natives, but not in black cattle, for slavery was never our line of business. "We sailed from the Mersey in June, and early in August found ourselves at the mouth of the Congo river, after a prosperous voyage; but on the night we made the land, * heavy gale came on, and it veered round all the points of the compass in an hour. The sea and tbe sky was as black as they could be, a n d everything else was black too, except the breakers on ahe shore to leeward, and heaven knows they were white enough—too white and too near to be pleasant. "Our skipper handled the Arrow well, and she obeyed every touch of the helm as a horse might do its bridle; she was sharply built, but heavily sparred, and no other sqnarerlOTt* craft upon the sea oosjft fctr o t « wlad. \ for shelter into a grove of oil-palms, | and there. Master Rodney, we found tulips, lilies and hyacinths growing wild, and six times larger than you ever saw in England. "Some of cur men proposed that we should repair the longboat—she was partly stove in—and put to sea, or creep in along the coast until we were ' picked up. We were without carpenter's tools; but the captain had a case of surgical instruments, and the first use we made of the saw was to cut into halves an iron buoy v.-'uch had floated ashore froni the wre.'k. "Thus we had two kettles, in which j v-e boiled some rcabmls and their | iggs, and mnde a mts? whereupon we breakfasted. Exhausted by the late | storm, the fch'ds vrer? easily knocked down by stones as they sat with drooping wings upon the roA •; near the sea; but scarcely was our miserable meal over when we heard loud yells, and, attracted by the smok'e of our fire, down came a whole gang of ugly darkies, all Mussolongos. wild and naked, with rings or fishbones in their long ears and flat noses—all streaked with war-paint and shouting like madmen as they brandished their muskets and spears. "They fired a volley, which stretched on the earth the poor captain and all my shipmates, dead or dying. The latter they soon dispatched with their knives and spears, and left thorn to be eaten by wild animals; but on finding that I had escaped their bullets, they supposed that their fetish had protected me, and so for a time I WEB safe. "For a whole week I was forced to help these savages in *he work of taking all that remained of the wreck to pieces, though hundreds came from the interior, and they wrought hard, some men using even their filed teeth to get all the iron and copper bolts, which they prized more than the cargo, sails or spars, as they could fashion them into weapon* and the heads of spears and arrows. But with everything they could lay their dingy hands upon, myself included, they made off inland, just as a vessel, which proved to be a king's ship, came round the Shark's Nose, and thus, with help, protection and liberty at hand, I was more than ever a prisoner. "I was in very low spirits, you may be sure, fearing they only intended to fatten me up, like a stall-fed ox, or a turtle in a tub, before cooking and eating me, or making me a sacrifice to some idol carved of wood; for many I saw the whote 'tarnal tribe on their knees before the figure-head ot the Arrow, which bad been washed ashore, and was pronounced to be a fetish. "For three days v e traveled among deep and slimy-greon swamps,* thick, wild woods and immense pathless canebrakes, where in an hour I saw more tree leopards and zebras, howling jackals and antelopes, grinning monkeys and chattering paroquets, than ever were seen In all the shows at Greenwich fair, till we arrived at a kraal of a hundred huts, for all the world like pigsties, surrounded by a high palisade of bamboos, and situated in a forest of palms. "I was now the »lavo of a chief, whose rigging was rather queer, for it consisted only of a deep fringe, or kilt, of unplaited gra3s, a necklace of lion's teeth and fishbones, and a cap of leopard's skin, on which towered a plume of feather3, above ;i row of human teeth and sea shells. "Ef-ing rope-t-nded by an inch-a~:Ia- haif colt—a^v, or keelhauled onr- & day frcn: Mie X-rcyardarm—were j ikes when cojr.pared to all this African nigger made me undergo, in pestilent swamps, where the very air choked me, as if I had br?en in a ship with a foul hold, for the slime in these canebrakes was as thick as tar and black as old bilge-water. "One day i e was soothing hits excitement by beating me with a heavy bamboo, till my back and arms were covered with blood. Close by were a whole gang of the tribe squatted under a palm tree, smoking bubbles— bubbles made cut of nut shells, looking on and laughing at the torture I was undergoing; but in the midst of their sport we heard a roar ihat made our hearts tremble, and all ready to scamper off. "There was a mighty crashing and swaying of the wild canes in the adji- ci?nt brake, and th'-n a ?rreat, squarebeaded and tawuy-lvJ; .'.•<: lion, as large as :t £oo;l-sized pony. ;:n:l with a tuft Tike a '^v.'ab at the en'! of his switching tail. rr-.n\-> plunging forv.-p.rd, with eyes ! flay hi n s and red mouth open.

"The whole thing passed like ?. flash of lightning! "At first the niggers were about to pursue the lion, but upon reflection they thought it less dangerous t*i fall upon me and kill me outright, filying that my stupid cries had brought the wild animal upon them.

"I might as well have hallooed to the wind in a tearing pampero, or a stiff reef-topsail breeze, Master Rodney, as have attempted to oppose tRis piece of Congo kindness. In a minute I was hove down under the nasty, bllck paws of five-and-forty howling and jabbering niggers, all smearing me with palm-oil out ot calabashes and old gallipots, and they persisted In rubbing it into roe till all my skin was nearly peeled off. "Then the old fetishman. who lived in the root of the tree, after malc^ag three summersets and uttering howls, ornamented all my face, and arms in this fashion, using a klfid. of knife, which he dipped from time to time In some black stuff that he carried en a cocoanut shell.

Its plans include addresses, leaflets, open letters, circulation of literature, and organization wherever practicable. PHYSI-CULTURE DEPARTMENT. This department proposes to secure laws in all the states, making it obligatory that physical exercises, according to the best scientific methods for the developement of health and Btrength, shall be regularly taught in our public school. This department is organized in the expectation of great good to the mothers of the future, through an improved understanding—©£~*b* laws mid practice of health, common- seuse methods in dress, food, exercise, etc. SUNDAY BCHOOL WORK. This department aims to teach the same habits And principles as tbe foregoiop, but frcm a Bible point of view, and by means of exercises and lessons regularly prepared by established Sunday school publications, and taught wheuever the lesson permits and especially on a quarterly Sunday dedicated to this purpose. TEMPERANCE LITERATURE. This department aims to prepare and circulate books, papers, leaf lets, ^tc. for the general education of public sentiment and also for topical study in all department* of W C T U work, that our local meetings may be made interesting and profitable and our members thoroughly educated in all branches of temperance reform. Presenting Our Cause to Influential Bodies.—This department aims to secure the presentation of our work before all the above societies indicated and an j others of suitable character, in towns, counties, districts, state* and the nation, shat tbe W 0 T U aad the principles it advocates, may be known and endorsed in influential quarters.

Nature supplies all her children with brains, but she can't compel them to u&e them. The proper means of increasing the love we bear our native country is to reside some time in a foreign one.

"It does not pay^to spend two thousand dollars on a two-dollar boy," a western father once observed to President Eliot of Harvard University. True! but as each boy may ticket himself with his own value, the conclusion is just enough. A newspaper correspondent, writing from Moscow, states that the Russian government is extending its plans for a railway through Persia, so as to take in Arabia and the Red sea country. There is already a Russian railway from Resht, on the southwestern coast of the Caspian sea, to Kasbin, near Teheran. The Russian plan to carry a railway line from Teheran to Bushir, on the Persian gulf, is extended, not abandoned, and the project when developed will give railway communication between European Russia and northeastern Africa, besides making possible the mobilization of troops near the Afghan frontier. on.

BUT DID HE SWEAR AT BATTLE OF MONMOUTH? Tradition Affirms That He U«ed an Oath —He Certnluly Ilud Sufficient Provocation for 8troug Language—Geuernl Lee the Victim. Secretary Wilson of the agricultural department had less to say on the president's recent trip south than most of the other members oi the party. He did take occasion, however, to advfse some of the colored people whom he /net to plant clover and raise sheep and cattle. "The trouble," he said, "Is that you kejep too many dogs and too -few sheep.—The coat of fecdiag dog would raise two sheep or one hog," Another economic statement was that if all the salaries received by the politicians were compared with the value of the eggs laid every year, it would be found that there was more money in hens than in politics. RAD1TI0N says that on one occasion the father of his country so fur forgot his religious training and principles as to have used an oath. Profanity does not comport with the generally accepted character of George Washington, and there are many who deny the tradition. It was at the battle of Monmouth where Washington is supposed to have lost his temper and swore at Gen. Charles Lee for disobeying orders and retreating, thus endangering the whole American army. If ever man was There are survivals of old-world superstitions still existing in this country which, though perhaps harmless, bring a curious sense of wonder to a reflecting mind. A "Pennsylvania German," whose wife had recently deserted him, ascribed her disappearance solely to witchcraft. The customary method of procedure among his people In such cases is to immerse a pair of the delinquent's stockings in a pot of water place the pot upon a hot fire and keep It boiling for twenty-four hours. This is supposed to be infallible. The belief is that it will break the spell under which the woman is laboring, and will cause her such uneasiness that she will gladly return home, but will also inflict dreadful pains upon the person who had bewitched her. The husband followed thz formula, but the result is not stated. denly evacuated Philadelphia in June, 1778, and began their retreat across New Jersey, Washington, with his whole army, pushed on as rapidly as possible to intercept them before they reached New York. Late on headed off tho British, went into camp near the enemy on the plains of Monmouth. Lee was next to Washington In command, and thero can be no doubt at this time that envy and hatred were strong factors in the breast of the subordinate. Lee's instructions were to advance early and attack the enemy as soon as they began to move, unless thero was some powerful reason for not doing so. It seems that this very slight discretionary power given him furnished the pretext for his conduct. Lee had under him such men as Lafayette, Wayne and Morgan's famous riflemen. The conduct of Lee on this occasion is a puzzlo to the student of human motives. At one moment he seemed in earnest and determfued, at the next he was weak, hesitating and uncertain. In the council of war heid at Hopewell Lee advised against the attack, and showed a very faint heart throughout the fight. When the British began to move he made a feeble attack, which was followed up by half a dozen blundera in rapid succession—Ho held La- "Egad," "By gad" and "Zounda," a genteel sort of profanity, were In common use In those days, but Washington has never been accused of using them. In the midst of the excitement and confusion attending a battle, and the rallying of routed hosts under the heavy fire of a victorious enemy, It is doubtful if spoken words can be successfully reported, and some other word may have been used by Washington which his enemies distorted Into "by." Is it not more probable that the "father of his country," instead of swearing, made use of some sort of supplication? White with anger, and boiling over with disappointment and chagrin, what would be more natural than that he should, on meeting Lee, cry out: "My God, Bir, I desire to know what is the reason, and whence arises this disorder and confusion?" The man who gave rise to the rumor of the uso of profanity may have been Lee himseli, who was anxious to malign the man who had rebuked him on the battlefield. It was an easy matter to report his "my" as "by," and thus change the whole tenor of Washington's remarks. This theory is certainly the most reasonable as well as the most charitable, and, after an investigation of almost 120 years, it ought to be adopted. After Washington, at the risk of his life, had brought order out of chaos, and formed the routed troops into an invincible line of battle, he rode back to where Leo sat on his horse In a bad flt of sulks, and, pointing to the rallied troops, asked: "Will you, sir, command in that place?" "I will," Lee eagerly V v ' STATE LEGISLATURE The junketers have retirrned from their upper peninsula trip, and it is to be hoped that their rest will enable them to get down to solid business at oace. However, little was awcompllhhed at their iirst session. A few bills were introduced and one passed under suspended rules, authorizing the people of Homo township, Moutcalm county, to decide by vote ut the next towu mooting* day ^whether ex-Township Treasurer C. K. Taylor should be relieved from liability because of the failure of tho Edmore Exchange bunk. Three local bills have been passed by the house, under suspended rules: One authorizing Hough tun to borrow not more than $SO,OLIO to build a union school; to vacate the township of Wheattield in Montmorenoy county and attach the territory to Vienna township; to vacate the townships of Blaine, Grove, Ball and Center Plains, in Crawford county, and to attach the territory to the townships of Maple Forest, South Branch, Beaver Creek uncl Gray* li»£. The reason for the last two bills is that siuce the pine timber has been cut off it costs too much to maintain so many townships. They were all given immediate effect. Rep. Eikhoff offered a resolution di- The Department of Agriculture is doing all it can to make tue best of a bad matter—the free seed distribution. In his annual report the secretary states that the division of botany has been intrusted the task of testing all the seeds sent out by the department, not only those of the regular departmental distribution, .but those imported through the recently established section of seed and plant Introduction and those procured in other ways for the experimental work of the various division?.. Never before has the department distributed seeds of higher purity and germinative capacity than during the past year. Furthermore, an elaborate series of field testa was made to ascertain whether the seeds were really of the varieties stipulated in the contract. It was found teat in. several cases the -varieties were wholly at variance with the contract, seeds of cheaper varieties caving been substituted, presumably by the subcontractors. The fact that these varieties were not true to mame could not, of course, be ascertained for several months after the seeds were distributed, but a portion of the purchase money was withheld, pending the result of the field testa, and a GEN. LEE. tried, it was Washington at Monmouth, j and if ever profanity was excusable it j was on that occasion. Lee, according to some historians, was a designing traitor, who, envious of Washington's popularity, schemed to defeat his army. It ia quite certain that he hesitated when the oath of allegiance, required by the continental congress, was administered at Valley Forge. Washington was himself administering the oath to Lee, Greene, Stirling and others, the officers placing their h a i J s on a Bible. When Washington began to repeat the prescribed-oath, Lee suddenly removed his hand from the Bible, and the commander-in-chlef asked why he did so. His answer was: "As to King George, I am willing enough to absolve myself from all allegiance to him, but I have some scruples about the prince of Wales." Even the grave Washington joined in the laugh that followed this explanation. But Lee eventully took the oath with the others, and subscribed aurate redaction was made in the price paid for the seed. The principal beaefdal result of this action is expected to Ue in its waraiac to teture eoa~ traetors that they will be paid for no Inferior seed, whether tfato Inferiority is 4 M to ttusujhin, or to their fayette In check until it was too late for him to cut off some of the British army, and weakened Wayne's forces by withdrawing from him some of his best soldiers, and finally ordered a general retreat all along the line. Along a narrow pass, with a morass on either side, the Americans fled on that hot June day, pursued by the yelling Britons. The weather was so excessively warm that many of the soldiers perished from sunstroke. Washington, who was bringing up the main army to attack the British in such a way as to cut off their retreat to New York, after the cannonading early in the morning, was astonished and perplexed to hear no more firing. Anon the shouts of the victorious Britons and the occasional musket shot fell on his GEN. WAYNE. his name to one of the blanks now on file In the archive* at Wnshinjtom. When the British «n4er Clinton GEN. LAFAYETTE. • ears, and, with a feeling of distrust, he galloped forward, accompanied by his entire staff. They met the head of the retreating army under Gen. Lee. Just at this point, according to tradition, Washington did his "cussing." History records the first word3 uttered by Washington as: "Sir, I desire to know what ig the reason, and whence arises this disorder and confusion?" Tradition says that the sentence began with "By God, sir." According to tradition, Washington, after meeting Lee, ordered Oswaklls battery to unlimber and open on the enemy; that he then galloped down toward the advancing enemy, and fired his holsters at them, wheeled his horse about, rode back asd formed the retreating hosts into a line of baUle. to meet the foe. Without doubt the father of hla country was greatly provoked at Lee, and the evidence at Lee's trial shows that "hot asd angry" words passed between them, Bvt It is still a matter of doubt whether Gen. Washington swore. Sttcn temt and colloquial REMOVED HIS HAND FP.OM THE BIBLE. "Then," said Washington, "I expect you to check the euemy immediately." "Your command shall be obeyed, and I will not be the first to leave~Hfe~ field," returned Lee. The advancing foe was held in check. Washington brought up the remainder of the aimy, and all that long Sab- \ bath day the battle raged, but the Britons and their allies were defeated and stole away during the night. After it was all over, Lee demanded an apology, but Washington, instead of apologizing, placed Lee under arrest. He was tried and dismissed from command for twelve months. He never entered the army again, but sulked throughout the war and tiled in Philadelphia Oct. 2, 1797. Knocked Washington Down. Washington was an eminently fair man. He had a quick temper, but as a rule he kept it under control. Sometimes, however, it got the best of him. This was the case once in Alexandria. One of the county officers told me the story as we stood on the second floor of the market house in Alexandria and looked down at the open court within it, which is now filled with hundreds of booths where the farmers uring their products for sale on market days. "It was on that spot," said the oflicer, "Washington was knocked down by Iiieut. Payne. Payne was a candidate for the legislature against Fairfax of Alexandria. Washington supported Fairfax, and when he met Payne here, he made a remark that Payne considered an insult, and Payne knocked him down. The story went like lightning through the town that Col. Washington was killed, and some of his troops who were stationed at Alexandria rushed in and would have made short work of Payne had Washington not prevented them. He pointed to his black eye and told them that this was a personal matter and that he knew how to handle it. Every one thought that this meant a duel. The next day Payne got a note from Washington asking him to come to the hotel. He expected a duel, but went. Washington, however, was in an amiable mood. He felt that he had been in the wrong, and said, 'Mr. Payne, I was wrong yesterday, but if you havft had sufficient satisfaction, let us be friends.' There was a decanter of wine and two classes on the table which Washington had ordered to smooth over the quarrel. The two drank together and became such strong friends after that that Payne was one of the pallbearers at Washington's fun«ral." I reeting the state board of arbitration to offer its services to settle the F. & l\ M. lookout ut Ludin^ton. It was H'lopted. Eikhoff's idea is to find out which side, if either, will refuse to submit to arbitration. In the house the judiciary committee reported favorably the bill for an additional circuit 'jiidge in Wayne county, which looks as though there is going to be an effort made to pet this through in time for tho spriug election. The senate in committee of the whole approved the bill for making an appropriation for the state library and a traveling1 library.

After a long-winded scrap in the hou.se. the Atkinson bill was finally taken out of committee, and a special Uuy set when it should be considered in committee of the whole. The day cho&en was Valentine's Day.

The fluffy golden head was very near, a few words had been spoken, when the door opened and Ella Stanton entered. A frown clouded the brow of Dr, Ralph Stanton, the eminent young physician who everybody declared would make Iiis fortune in his profession, and pretty Nellie Savllle escaped, glad to hide her flushed cheeks from her cousin's Jealous eyes. Mrs. Stanton threw herself languidly Into the depths of an easy chair. "So I have found you at last, my dear Ralph. I have been seeking you for the last hour." He hat«d this woman, in spite of her dark, witching beauty. His uncle had found that beauty irresistible and by a late marriage robbed his nephew of the quarter of a million which he had taught him to expect would one day be hia. "What did you want with me?** he asked curtly. "You are cross. I wanted your society— nothing more. Is there anything strange in that?" "Most flattering of you, my dear aunt, I am sure." It was Mrs. Stanton's turn to frown. "Don't call me by that hateful name. If I did marry your uncle, you might remember that I am not yet 25. By the way, Nellie Saville quits the teens next week." "Indeed!" "Yes. Charming girl, isn't she? Really, Ralph, if you should see the dismal hole of a parsonage where the girl's parents live you would feel grateful to me for my compassionate generosity In taking her from it for a Httle while. Are you going to Lady Campbell's this afternoon?" "No. I dele :t tea and tennis." "So -*-• T. TAsides, I have a headache. ' . i you prescribe for me?" After the majority of Mrs. Oakbrook's guests had departed for Campbell House Dr. Stanton was pacing the lawn with Sir John Dobby, smoking cigarettes and talking politics, and indoors his relative occupied a velvet lounge and tried to read the last new novel. He came to her at last, but it was; with t. serious face and an open telegram !n his hand. "My sister has met with an accident. Levison wants me to go at once." "Oh, Ralph! Is it serious? You will return here?", "I think not," he returned, replying to the latter question. —"You will como to Melton Willows at Christmas, Ralph?" "I really cannot promise. Good-by!" She sat there until the sound of the horse's hoofs had died away. Then she crossed the room and looked at the notes he had written. One was for his hostess—apology and explana- 1 "YOU ARE MISTAKEN/' tion, of course—but the other was for Miss Saville. A moment's hesitation; then she tore it open. "DearvMiss Saville:—Before you see this you will know the reason of my sudden departure. But I cannot wait until our next meeting for the answer to the question I should have asked you this morning if Mrs. Stanton's entrance had not prevented me from doing so. . I want you to be my wife, Nellie; my loved and honored wife. Will ypu? Write yes or no soon to your loving but impatieat "RALPH." A small fire burned in the grate. She put the letter into her pocket and burned the envelope. • • • "Dear Ralph," murmured the lady. "I promised you to write to him for me, Nellie. He promised to let me know how his slater was. but I suppose he has not had time. He does not know your handwriting, I think." Very soon Ella Stanton had dictated a gushing, affectionate letter, and with Mapofriwy cheeks Nellie had written It "Don't close it now, Nellie. Throw it aside, There is only one other that need be written now." "What is I t r Nellie asked, a trifle wearily. "Why, you know, dear, Mr. Qrataaa wants me to open the Brixton but I really don't feel equal task. I must write to decliaa. 1 he always laughs at nerves, fjaf } so hate being laughed at." "My felly considered the subject and must decline the honor. I am grieved beyond expression to disappoint you; but, feeling as I da, I cannot act otherwise. However, I feel confident that you will meet with one worthier than I that what I cannot grant she will joyfully concede. Only one thing I ask—that this shall in no way interfere with the friendly relations which have always existed between us," "I think it is making too much of a little thing, Ella. You will sign It. of course." "No, dear. Do it for me—only initials. How singular t£at t n e y should be alike, is it not—El\a Stanton and Elinor Saville? There, now dear, just run upstairs and see if Louise has mended that lace I tore last night." A moment more, and Ralph frtanton's simple, honest letter lay. open before her. Jealousy h,ad quickened her memory. She knew it by heart. Refolding it, she Inclosed it with that other in an envelope addressed in Nellie's pretty, graceful caligraph to "Ralph Stanton, Esq.," and sealed it carefully. It was necessary to destroy the missive originally intended for Ralph, and to indite another one to Mr. Graham if discovery was to be avoided. Two years later Dr. Stanton was journeying northward. The London season was over and the famous physician had been on the point of starting for his holiday—when he was summoned by telegram to Sir Christopher Knott, a wealthy patient brimming over with gout and crotchets. Thinking? It was dreaming—dreaming of a slim, petite figure and fluffy golden hair and gloriously blue eyes! Yes, though she had refused him he loved her still. Her home was at Grimstone. Would he see her? What folly! Doubtless she was married, and, if not, had she not told him in the cruel little letter, which was even now in the breast pocket of his coat, that It could never ba? "Grimstone! Grimstone!" shouted a porter, and so his reflections came to an end, but only to awaken into lively interest. From a second-class carriage a girl alighted—a girl in a neat little hat and gray dust cloak. Underneath that hat was a piquant little face and a clustering fringe of fluffy golden curls. Nellie was alone In the drawingroom. Suitors had wooed In vain. She was the orthodox clergyman's daughter, with her duties to perform as they rose fresh each day, and in the past a nameless disappointment. Her thoughts had turned on that vi«it to Oakbrook two years ago when -the waiting maid brought in a card.— "Dr. Stanton." "This is, indeed, a pleasant surprise," she said with a rosy flush that told its own story. "I am sorry mamma is not at home." "I am staying in the neighborhood professionally and could not leave without calling on you. It Is the privilege of friendship, and you desired that we continue friends." Nellie looked puzzled. "I do not understand you. What do you mean?" "I beg your pardon for the allusion, Miss Savile, but you cannot have forgotten? The *ords were in your letter— a letter I have kept because you wrote it, in spite of its contents." "Indeed, you are under a mistake. I never wrote to you, in my life." "Then you never wrote this or received this?" And he placed in her hands the two unfortunate letters. • • • When the primroses looked like star* in the grass and the air was filled with the odor of violets, a wedding took place at Grimstone church. And three months later a society journal announced that Mrs. Stanton, widow of tke late George Stanton, Esq., of Melton Willows, Berks, had bestowed heart and hand upon Count Horenxa, an Impecunious Italian nobleman.— Wavtrly. A CANADA FARM, Mrhut a Former itaatdent of IdaheSays Regarding Weatcrn Mr. T. A. Tolman, of Lacombe, Alberta. N. W. T., a former resident of Cascia County, Idaho, who moved to Western Canada in July, 1894, writes as follows: "I brought here thirty-four head of cattle, fifteen horses, two wagons, two seta of harness and one hundred and fifty dollars in cash. I homesteaded the southeast quarter of Section 28, Township 40, Range 26, west of the 4th Meridian, also purchased a quartersection of Canadian Pacific Hallway land. I have been farming- more or leas all my life, and I am convinced that you can raise crops 40 per cent cheaper here than where I came from. My capital at present, counting everything, is about five thousand dollars. The yield of my grain all round in 1897 was 60 bushels per acre. This year (1898) yield of wheat per acre, 37ft bushels, oats, 50 bushels, barley, 85, and potatoes, 400 per acre. I consider that this is a much better country for a man than where I came from, provided he Is industrious. Tou get a free homestead here, and Canadian Pacific Railway lands are cheap and the terms easy. I have now made my seventh payment on the land purchased by me, and am much pleased with my purchase, as the land has already much more than paid for Itself. School law here is decidedly ahead of where I came from, and there are schools wherever there art settlers." ^ With most women belief is better than proof.

The water in the river is transformed into ice, hence the water wheel which supplies power to the electric light plant is at a standstill. It has been so cold at Grand Rapids that grave diggers had to give up their jobs, as the ground was frozen so tightly that nothing short of dynamite would budge it. The steamer John V.

During the entire year there was not a single explosion in the state. W. E. Eberlein, aged 54, of Mill Creek, was accidentally killed by his son. They were killing chickens and the young man was carrying a rifle across his arm when it was discharged, the ball striking the father in the heart, killing him instantly. Miss Octavia Roberts, of Erie, aged 42, got a judgment of 88tOOO against Ed. J. Druillard, aged 61, of the same place, in a breach of promise suit. Druillard was married to a Miss Ellen Reau about eight months after the appointed time set to marry Miss Roberts. Tired out with teaching, Miss Fannie Harding, of Orio, opened her mouth to yawn with a result that her jaw became locked in that position. It was a sad blow for the teacher, but the scholars thought it a pretty good joke. Medical aid, however, restored the use of the organ. Every day brings a fresh supply of fire casualties from all parts of the state. In almost every instance the fire originated from a defective chimney or an over-heated stove. For the last cause there is an excuse when the bottom is about- to drop out of the thermometer. **••»• George Kints, a farmer of Dryden township, Lapeer county, was knocked down and severely punched by a steer. In its fury the. animal picked Kintz up on his horns and tossed him into the sir. He came down on his feet and kicked the brute on the nose until he drove him off. Kintz weighs 100 pounds. Plans are being laid to continue the work early in the Bpring on the new railroad running east from Hart through Hesperis to Fremont. Several more Chicago capitalists have interested themselves in ttie enterprise and it is to receive a boom by the local men who have been promoting the scheme. Frank Clemens, a young German farmer of near Va&sar, while the thermometer was at |0 below zero was carrying a pail of water in each hand to the barn.

The average yield is about 14 tons per acre, making a net profit of $22 to |35 per acre. Helen F. Crittenden^ of Vicksburg, became sick and blind two years ago. Added to this sad affliction she and her husband are in destitute circumstances. The double burden was more than she could bear so she cut her throat with a razor that she had in some manner got hold of. She missed the jugular vein and will probably live. The opening of new and re-opening of old copper mines in Ontonagon Co. seems to be putting new life into the half-dead towns of that section and business is beginning to look up again, after several years of exceeding dullness. The latest evidence of this is the establisment of a national bank at Ontonagon, which event will occur soon. Bon. O. M. Barnes, of Lansing, president of the joint prison boards of the state, says the population of the prisons in the state at present is 3,384, and that only 126 o^f this number are wholly illiterate persons. He also says that criminality is increasing* by placing young offenders with hardened criminals, and recommends that circuit judges should be mere careful in distributing convicts among the prisons. A young woman named Miss Edith Smith, aged 25, strolled into the police station at Bay City early the other morning with a bundle in her arms which contained a newly-born babe. 8he claimed she found it in an alley back of her home, but upon being questioned she admitted that she was the mother and that it was born in a woodshed at 2 o'clock in the morning.

Urlef Account of V War Up-to-Date the Filipino-American Carefully Compiled —The Atuorleaa Casualties, so far Reported la flfi Killed, 857 Wounded. War Kotos. Gen. Miller's forces have taken Iloilo, the capital of Panay. The insurgents were given until the evening of the 11th to surrender, but their hostile actions brought on an engagement in the morning. Tho iusurgents fired the native portion of the town, but without much loss to property of foreign inhabitants. It is believed the enemy's loss during the bombardment w heavy, but no A aeriean casualties are reported. The average rate of sickness in some of the U. 8. regiments has been as high as 1? per cent, but the average seldom exceeds 10 per cent, according to a statement from the surgeon-general. The death rate for July, August, September and October was 9.30 per thousand. More than half of the deaths were caused by typhoid. It is now known that the Filipino loss is fully 2,500 killed with wounded vastly in excess of that number and thousands are held prisoners. All this has been achieved at the cost of G5 Americans killed and 257 wounded. There are still two Americans missing and unaccounted for. The other night two natives attempted to slip past the U. S. crusier Olympia in a small boat. When they paid no attention to a warning shot a sentry fired at the boat and killed one of the occupants and injured the other. The towns of Molo and Jaro have been taken by (Jen. Miller's troops. The losses among the American soldiers were very small, but the enemy suffered severely. That Embalmed Bof>f Again. The roport submitted to the President by the commission appointed by him to investigate the conduct of the war department in the war with Spain has been made public. The report is a unanimous one, all the members of the commission having signed it, except Col. Sexton, whose death occurred February 4. During the sessions 405 witnesses were examined. The committees' report in brief was as follows: "It may be said now, at the beginning of this report, that there has been no evidence before us that anyone in or connected with the war department has dishonestly received a dollar. We have made persistent efforts to secure the attendance of persons to whose names rumor had attached un allegation that they knew ol corruption of officials in the war department, but these men have either denied the statements attributed to them or have maintained silence when invited to tell what they knew. In view of the facts set forth the commission is of the opinion that no refrigerated beef furnished by contractors and issued to the troops during the war with Spain was subjected to or treated with any chemicals by the contractors or those in their employ." Navy on New Llnei. The entire cost of the recasting of the navy on new lines, as proposed in the pending personnel bill, will be 82,002,569. Merging the line and engineers, as is proposed in the bill, the cost of the combination would be 82,- 665,600, which is 9*00,000 more than the total of the present pay to both branches. The,increase in the pay of the marine corps is 91.228,838, which is accounted for by the increase in the number of both officers and men. The new naval appropriation bill also carried an appropriation of $4,111,505 for pay of 10,300 additional enlisted men. 8S6 Maine Claim* Filed. A statement prepared by the auditor 1->r the navy department shows that the total number of claims filed to date on account of the Maine disaster, under the act of March 30, 1898, is 325, amounting to 1123,343. Of these 92 are claims for indemnity by survivors, amounting to 135,636; 204 are gratuity claims, aggregating 187,706. Twentynine are now on hand awaiting evidence, and 30 cases are yet to be heard from. The records show that the total number on board the Mains at the time of the explosion was 355. Of these 261 were killed and M survived •hoi Hu Yoftft* Wife. Amos Palmar, a wealthy young man, shot and killed fcis wife at their horn* ia Edgewood, Providence, R.

Aside from |hia Ht^le business was iramshisted as the meplels wanted to attend, the di*ous*iun o!tW>Atkin« son bill in the house. The Atkinson bill got a body blow in the house by the adoption of a resolution to refer all taxation measures to three of the regular house committees, who in turn should bring \n a compromise tax bill to cover all kinds of property. The committees to w h o ^ the bill goes are almost solidly ugainat the present bill. The house judiciary committee made a favorable report on <kPop" Uoodell'a bill proposing an amendment to the constitution which would hold the salaries of Wayne circuit judges down to $5,000, The bill got a unanimous vote on third reading and was given immediate eftect. It then went to the senate. Gov. Pingree has signed the bill providing that the state shall pay the rental of armories of military companies in active service. Legislative Gossip. The pawnbrokers of the state have been in the habit of charging 10 per cent interest on loans and an exorbitant storage rate, but when Sen. Flood gets his bill through they will not be allowed to charge over 5- per cent, possibly 3, with the proviso that all pledges must be kept one year before sold, and that no storage charges can be made. The house committee of elections repor. od favorably on Colby's primary election bill for Wayne cowuty. The bill was amended so as to exclude officers of villages and townships and officers of Wyandotte. It will also give one of the four best county offices to the townships. The Y. W. C. A. sent a letter to the Wayne delegation asking them to support the Detroit school board bill proposing that all school inspectors shall ba^lected at large. It is said that not more than three of the twelve members frona Wayne are in favor of such a measure. There was no contract* made by Michigan officials with can goods dealers to furnish our soldier boys an inferior article says Quartermaster-General Will White. There was only one instance were the meat proved unsatisfactory and that was made good. A bill will be introduced by Rep. Pack at this session which' will provide that sleeping car companies shall not charge more than 81 per night for a berth. Pack says that there are at least 40 of "us farmers'1 in the legislature who will vote for^t. It is thought that the present house is most two swift in vnobing bills through. Some bills are passed without. even being, investigated by committees and many without consideration in committee of the whole. '•- Rep. McCall, of Eaton county, has no use for cigarettes and will introduce a bill prohibiting the manufacture of "coffin-nails" in this state, with a penalty of 8100 for each sale. The fish commission asks 881,500. Of this $15,000 is to be used for establishing a new hatchery on the A a Sable river and the rest for keeping up work in the other hatcheries. It is estimated that it will require 8800,000 to complete Wayne's county building, and Capt. Stewart has introduced a bill to bond the county for that amount. As the close of the time for the introduction of bills draws nigh a great hustle is made by the law-makers. Seventy-five were introduced in a single day. Sen. Col ling wood has a bill empowering the state board of education to grant teachers' certificates valid for three years' course at agricultural college. A bill allowing the oduuty treasurer of Wayne county a fee of oV cents for certificates of back taxes was passed' on favorably and intrusted to Rep. Burch. Rep. Colby's bill for an -additional judge in Wayne county got a set back in committee of the whole, and action on it was postponed for the present. Sen. Collingwood will introduce a bill providing for shutes and ladders for the passage of fish in all dams in the creeks and rivers of the state. Improvements amounting to 430,489 are asked for at the Marquette prison, and 1160,000 for the Jackson prison. Hammond thinks lawyers should be> licensed to the extent of 91 and will bring in a bill to that effect. Mysftarr at Cleveland.

CHAPTER V11I— (Continued.) 11 "I remember well when, from a wild forest, I saw before me a long blue ridge. It was the Sierra Leonda-—or *the Mountain of the Lioness, as the niggers thereabout call it. the highest In North or South Guinea. Glad was 1, Master Rodney, to see the flag of old England waving on the fort and in the bay. There was a sloop of war at anchor there, the Active; and when she flred the evening gun you would have thought a whole fleet was saluting, there are so many echoing caves nnd dents in the mountains and along the shore. "I sf-on made my way homo to England, but was more laughed at than pitied for my queer figure-head, which frightened some folks, ray old mother especially, for she banged the door right in my face, and called for the police when I weat to her old bunk at Deptford. "However, I got used to all that sort of thing; but as folks are so ill-bred *nd uncharitable ashore, I have left . Oeptford forever, and keep always afloat, to bo cut of harm's way. So that's the yarn of how I became tattooed, Master Rodney." "Finish the brandy-and-water, Tom," tald I, "and now we'll make a start tor the brig—noon is past, and the atmosphere cooler than i,t was," "Your very good health. Next time we splice the main-brace ashone, I hope it will be in Cuba," said Tom, finishing the c«nteirts of my flask and then becoming so jovial that he broke at once into" an old sea-song, the last two verses of winch were somewhat to this purpose: "I learned to splice, to reef and clew. To drink my grog with the best of the crew. And tell a merry story; And though I wasn't very big, Aloft I'd climb, nor care a flg To Btand by my gun, or dance a Jis, And all for Britain's glory! *'When home I steered again I found My poor old mother run aground, And doleful was her story; Bhe had been Cheated by a lawyer elf, Who married her for tier old dad's pelf, But spent it ell, then hanged himself. Hooray tor England*-glory!" Just as Tom concluded this remarkable ditty with tones that made the volcanic grotto to echo to "gk>ry," a voice that made us start exclaimed, close by us: "Bueno! Ha! Ha! Los Anglesos burrachios!" On hearing this impertinent reflection on our Bobriety we both looked up and saw—what the next chapter will toll you. , CHAPTER IX. Dangerous Company. Behind us »tood eight fellows, flve of whom had mnskets, and three heavy bludgeons. Tfcey were apparently Spanish seafaring men; but. whether contrabandistas of the lowest class, a portion of a *1aver's crew, or merely drunken brawlers, we could not at first determine. However, they Boon made HB aware tfcst robbery was their object, and that they were in no way Averse to a little homicide it we Interfered with their plans In the ltast. Some .had tbeir coarse, but glossy and intensely bl»ek- hair confined by nets or cauls;. others had only Barcelona handkerchiefs round their heads. The spots of blood upon tnese, together witfe several patches and discolored eyes, showed us that these modern Iberians had been fighting among themselves. Their attire, which consisted only of red or blue shirts and dirty canvas trousers, was rather dilapidated; but something of the picturesque was imparted to it by the •ashes of glaring red and yellov worsted which girt their waists, and In which, they had long kaives stuck conspicuously. * By their bearing, 'their dark glaring •yes, their muscular figures, their bare arms, chest and feet, their bronzed, amilow and ugly Visages—and more than alt by thetf rags, whfch were red^ olent of garlic and coarse tobacco, U was evident thai we had fallen Into unpleasant society. Beveral had silver rings in their ears, and on the bare chest of one I saw a crucifix marked either with ink or gunpowder. • T&fcte fellow* had come from the toner or back part of the cavern, where •they had evidently been ebserria* us tot some time before they so suddenly appeared. "Acou'arditnte." said one, approvingly, as he stppffod his fierce, hooked lBose to my empty flack, and then pkac- M It in hit pocket. A second snatched iftway my courier-bag, and a third appropriated say telescope, which he IB fait MSB. Taking up a stone which lay at hand, I was about to hurl it at the head of the latter when the muzzle of a cocked musket pointed to my breast, and the butt of another applied roughly to my back, admonished me that discretion was the better part of valor. 'El page de escoba—ha. ha!" (the cabin boy), said one contemptuously, as he examined my attire—a smart blue jacket, with gilt anchor buttons, which Hislop had given me. My portemonnaie, which contained only a few shillings, and my gold watch, a present given to me by my mother when I went to Eton, were soon taken from me. As for poor Tcna, he posbdssed only r. brass tobacco-bax, a short, black pipe, and one shilling and sixpence; yet he was speedily deprived of them by one who seemed to be the ltader of the gang. "You rascally Jack Spaniard!" said Tom, shaking his clenched fist in the robber's face, "if ever I haul alongside of you elsewhere, look out for squalls!" At this they all laughed, and seized us by the arms, dragged us into the back part of the cavern or fissure in the rocks, leaving one of their number, armed with a musket, as sentinel, at the entrance, where he lit a paper cigar, and stretching himself on the grassy bank, placed bis hands under his head, and proceeded to leisurely smoke in the sunshine. These proceedings filled us with great alarm; now that they hrfd robbed us of everything save our clothes, what could their object be? One of them produced two pieces of rcpe, with which our hands were tied. Dragged by ecme, and receiving severe blows and bruises from the clenched hands and musket-butts of others—accompanied b7 the imprecations and coarse laughter of all—we were conveyed through a low-roofed grotto, or natural gallery in the rocks, the echoes of which repeated their voices with a thousand reverberations. The only light here waa by the reflection of the sunshine at the entrance, where the basalt was coated by a white substance, the debris of some old volcanic eruption; for the slope up which we had been ascending all t,he morning formed a portion of the great Peak. And now we became sensible of a strange sound and a strange odor pervading all the place. Through a rent in the rocky roof o* the grotto there fell a clear, bright stream of sunlight, that revealed the terrors of the place toward which our captors dragged us. On one side there yawned a vast black flssxira «sr ir^rtsra, in the somber -^R3Bes of obsidian ant red blocks of uva which composed U»e floor of that Lorrid cavern; and from this fissure there ascended, and doubtless still ascends at times, a hot, sulphurous steam, which rendered breathing difficult and induced an Inclination to sneeze. From the depth of that . hideous chasm, the profundity of which no mortal eye could measure, and no human being could contemplate without awe and terror, we heard a strange, buzzing sound, as if from the bowels of the iiwer earth, far—heaven alone knows hovr far—down below. In fact, we were upon the verge of one of those natural spiracles which the datives term "the nostrils," or avenues through which \he hot vapors of that tremendous Piton ascend; and the buzzing sound that made our hearts shrink, we scarcely knew why, was caused by some volcanic throe at the bottom of the mountain, whose base is many a mile below the waters of the sea. the fissure was also twelve feet broad, and acroes it there lay a plank, forming a species of bridge. Two of our captors crossed, and then ordered us to follow them. I followed like oneiin a dream; but my heart was chilled by a terror so deadly that I had no power or thought of resistance. My first fear was that the plank might be trundled from under our feet, and that we would be launched into the black abyss below; but suoh was not the object of these Spaniards, as Tom and I were permitted to pass ia safety. The remainder of the thieves followed, and we found ourselves in another giotto, the roof of which was covered fry stalactites, that (littered like gothU pendants of alabaster In the light that fell from the upper fissure, %hlch formed a natural window, and through it we ceuld see the thin, white steam ascending and curling in the sunshine. Now, supposing that they had as in perfect security, our captors proceeded to hold » consultation as to they should do with us; and imagining that we were both ignorant of their language, or. what is more probable, caring little whether' we knew it or not, they canvassed the most terrible resolutions with perfect coolness and freedom of speech. A-1 CHAPTER X. ' The Ventana. Tom Lamboume's face wore somewhat of a blanched hue, through which the stripes of his tattoing seemed blacker than ever. A severe cut on his forehead, from which the blood was oozing, did not add to%his personal appearance. He scarcely know a word of Spanish, but seemed instinctively aware that v/e had fallen into hands nearly as dangerous as his former acquaintances, the Mussolongoz, lor he sale: "Master Rodney, I fear we have run our last knot off the log-line, and our sandglass won't run again, unless heaven gives the order to turn. Yet, if I cculd but get one of these muskets, to have a shot at the rascally cargo-puddlers be'civ it's all over with us, I would be content As It iz, 2 am all over blocd, from cler." to earring, and they have well-nigh choked rao by shaking a quid do*vn my throat." "Hush, Torn," Li.id I, for I was listcniug to a discussion which took place among the Spaniards. "Do you understand their lingo?" "A little." "What are they saying?" he asked, with growing interest. "I will tell you immediately.* But as they all spoke at once In the sonorous Spanish of the Cataloulan coast, mingled with obscure slang and nautical phrases, some time elapsed* before I could understand them. Meanwhile, how,terrible were the thoughts that filled my mind. "If these fellows murdered and cast us into that awful chasm, the deed would never be known; until the day of doom cur fate and our remains could no more bo traced than the smoke that melts into the sky. Even If we escaped unhurt, but were detained so long that the brig sailed without us, what could be our condition, penniless, forlorn and unknown, in that foreign island? But this was a minor evil. Then I burned to avenge tbe lawless treatment to which we were subjected, and the blows and bruises their cowardly hands had dealt so freely. "Companeros," I heard one say, "one of these fellows Is tattooed and would sell very well to the.South American planters with the rest that will soon be under hatches. He is worth keeping, if he cannot ransom himself; as for the other—" "El muchaco!" (\he boy) said they, glancing at me. "Si—el page de escabo—If he is allowed to return, a complaint, may find its way to the senor alcalde, whose alguazils may come and borrow our topsails and anchor for a time; whereas, if we have him where the others went yesterday—" "Where?" "Into the ventana, hombre!" was the fierce response; "and then no more will be heard of the affair." My blood grew cold at these words, and I scarcely knew what followed, till the first man who spoke came forward and RiVaressed us. "Inglesos," said he, "we have decided that one cf you, after swearing not to reveal our hiding place, shall return within four hours, bearing a fitting ransom for both, else, so surely as the clock strikes, he who is left behind goes into the ventana of the mountain, where never did the longest sea line find a bottom—not that I suppose any man was ever ass enough to try.

If reasonable care ia aged, however, and Chamblerlain's Cough Remedy taken all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for la grippe we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia which shows conclusively that this remedy is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease.

Christ appearing at the outside of the door makes some excitement inside the door. The sisters set back the disarranged furniture, arrange their hair, and iu a flash prepare to open the door. They do not keep Christ waiting outside until they have newly apparelled themselves or elaborately arranged their tre3ses, aud then, with affected sui prise, come out, and preteuding not to have heard the two or thi'ee previous kuockings, say: "Why, is that you?" No, they were ladies, end always presentable, although perhaps they had not on their best. Nore of us always have on our best; otherwise very soon our best would not be worth having on. They throw open the door and greet Christ. They say, "Good morning, Master, como In and be seated." Christ brought a company of friends with him, and the influx of so many city visitors, you do not wonder, threw the country home into some perturbation. I suprose the walk from the city had been a keen appetizer. The kitchen department that day was a very important department, and I think as scon as Martha had greeted her guests she went to that room. Mary had no anxiety about the dinner. She had full confidence that her sister Martha could get up the best dinner in Bethany, and she practically said, "Now, let us have a division of labor. Martha, you cook, and I'll sit down and learn." The same difference you now sometimes see between sisters. There is Martha, industrious, painstaking, a good manager, ever inventive of some nev/ pastry, discovering something in household affairs. Here is Mary, fond of conversation, literary, so full of questions of ethics she has no time * Arizona comes to the front now with a gold mine which yields oreworih 1117,000 a ton.

Mayor Jones told of tb« hundreds of poor people who have for five years assembled at midnight, in all sorts of weather, to each get a half loaf of bread at a. New York bakery. He contrasted this with the fortunes made oa the Stock Exchange, and said that the system that tolerates such extremes of wealth and poverty should be denounced, and he would dentwince it «s long as he had breath.

It would have been better for them to have divided the toll, and then they could have divided the opportunity of listening to Christ. But Mary monopolies Christ, while Martha swelters before *1IP firs, It was very Important that they have a good dinner that*day, for Christ was hungry, and he did not often have luxurious entertainment. Alas! me! if all the responsibility of that entertainment had rested with Mary. What a repast they would have had! But something went wrong in the kitchen. Either the fire would not burn, or the bread would not bake, or something was turned black that ought to have been only turned brown, or Martha scalded herself, and, forgetting all the proprieties of the occasion, with besweated brow ahe rushed out, of the kitchen into the parlor, perhaps with tongs in QD£ hand an4 pitcher In the other, and she cried out, "Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help xne?" Christ scolded not a word. If it were scolding I would rather have him scold me than anybody else bless me. There was nothing acerb in the Saviour's reply. He knew that Martha had been working herBelf almost to death to get him something to eat* and he appreciated her kindness, and he practically said: "Ify-dear woman, do not worry, let the dinner go; Bit down here on this couch beside y&ur younger sister, Mary; let us talk about something else. Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things; but one thing is needful." "> { As Martha throws open the doqr, look in today,, and I.see a great in» household anxieties, ^perplexities" tlgaea, and trials, and about them I aa. .going to speak, If the Lord of Mary and Martha and Lazarus will heUy me by his grace. . As I look into that door, in the £nrt place, I gee the trial of non-appreciation. That was what made Martha so vexed at Mary. Mary, the younger sister, had no proper, esttaat* of,*toe elder sister's fatigue.1 Jtast as now, men having aqnnyjipw• ot store and factory and shop, jjr ft the stock exchange, come hoop at nig&and hear of some household annoyance'and they say, "Oh, that's nothing; you ought to be in a factory a day and have ten or fifteen or twenty or a hundred suborn dlnatos. Then you would know aosnething about assttpance s*4-.trouble." O man, let me tell you that a wife and * Mother has to conduct at the tame tine a university, a clothing itrtshHafcrestaurant, a bmnorjr, a library, and has to be health officer, police, and president of the whole realm! She has to dp a thousand things, and to do them well, in order to make things go smoothly, and that is what puts the awful tax on a woman's nerves and a woman's brain. I know there are exceptions to the rule. Sometimes you will find a woman who can sit la the arm chaiv of the library all day without any anxiety, or tarry on the belated pillow, and all the cares of the household are thrown upon servants who have large wages and great experience; but that is the exception. I speak of the great masses of housekeepers, to whom life is a struggle, and who at thirty years of age look as though they were forty. The fallen at Chalons and Austerlitz and Gettysburg and Waterloo are a small number in comparison with those who have gone down under the Armageddon of the kitchen. Go out to the country and look over the epitaphs on the tombstones. They are all beautiful and poetic, but if the tombstones could tell the .truth thousands of them woultl say: "Herb lies a woman who wa3 killed by too much mending and sewing and baking aud scourfng and scrubbing," and the weapon with which she was killed was a broom or a sewing machine or a ladle. The housewife rises in the mornlns half rested. At an irrevocable hour she must have the morning repast ready. What if the fire will not burn? What if the clock stop? What if the marketing has^ot been sent in? No matter that; it must be ready at the irrevocable hour. Then the children must be got ready for school. But what if the garments be torn? What if they do not know their lessons? What if the hat or sash is lost? they must be got ready. Then you have the7 duty of the day, cr perhaps several days to plan out. But what if the butcher sends meat unmasticable? "What if the grocer furnishes you articles of food adulterated? What if the piece of silver be lost, or a favorite chalice be broken, or the roof leak, or the plumbing fail, or any one of a thousand things occur? No matter. Everything must be ready. The spring Is coming, and there mu3t be revolution in the family wardrobe, or the autumn is at hand, and you must shut out the northern blast. But how if the moth has preceded you to the chest? How If the garments of the last year do not fit the children now? What if ell the fashions have changed? * • • As Marttha opens the door I look in and I also see the trial of severe econc hundred and uluety-ulue households out of a thousand are subjected to it, either under the greater or less stress of circumstances. It is especially so when a man smokes expensive cigars and dines at costly restaurants. He will be very apt to enjoin sccre economy at home. That is what kills thousands of women—the attempt to make five dollars do the work of seven. It is amazing how some men dole out money to the household. If you have not got the money, say so. If you have, be cheerful in the expenditure. Your wife will be reasonable. "How long does the honeymoon last?" said a young woman about to enter the married state, to her mother. Tho mother answered, "The honeymoon lasts until you ask your husband for money." "How much do you want?" "A dollar." "A dollar! Can't you get along with'fifty cents? You are always wanting a dollar." This thirty years' war against high prices, this everlasting attempt to bring the outgo within the income has exhausted multitudes of housekeepers; Let me say to 3uch. it is a part of the Divine discipline. If it were best for you, all you would have to do would "be just to open the front windows and the ravens would fly in with food, and after you had baked fifty times from the barrel hi the pantry, like the barrel of Zarephath, the barrel would Se full, and the children's shoes would last as long as the shoes of the Israelites in the wilderness— forty years. . • * * Romance and novelty may for a little while seem to be a substitute. The marriage day has only gone by, Just gone by, and all household cares are atoned for by the joy of being together, and by the fact that when it is late «t night It is not necessary to discuss whether it is time to go. All the mishaps of the nevrly-married couple in the way of household affairs are not matters of anxiety or reprehension* but merriment. The loaf o* breatf turned into a geological specimen, tsle glushy custards and Jaundiced and' measly biscuits! Oh, it is a very bright sunlight that falls upon the cutlery and mantel ornaments of a new home! Romance and novelty will do for a little while, but after a wbUe the romance is all gone and there is a loaf to be made, a loaf that cannot be sweetened by any earthly condiments, and cannot be Savored with any earthly flavors, and cannot be baked in any ordinary oven. It It the loaf of domestlc happfness. All the ingredients ,tiem hsjsveo. , Fruit from the tree of Ul^ and sweetened-with the new wine of the itlftfdom, and baked in the oven of home trial. God only can make thatloat You can cut it, but It takes God to make it £oiomoa wrote o«t of hS» *sm :;Ulo experience—ho had a wretched home—no man can be happy with two wives, much less with seven hundred —and out of his wretched experience he wrote: "Better is i. dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ex and hatred therewith." Oh, the responsibilities of housekeepers! Kings, by their Indigestion, have lost empires, and generals, through indigestion,have lost battles. One of the great.statisticians says that out of a thousand unmarried men thirty were criminals, and out of a thousand married men only eighteen were criminals, showing the power of homo. And, oh, the responsibility resting upon housekeepers! By the food they provide, by the couch they spread, by the books they introduce, by tho Influence they bring I around the home, they are helping to decide the physical, tho intellectual, tho moral, the eternal welfare of the human race. Oh, tiio responsibility! That woman Bits in tho house of God to-day, perhaps, entirely unappreciated. She Is the banker of her home, tba president, the caahier, the teller, tiif discount clerk; and ever and anon there is panic. God knows the anxieties and the caros, and he knows that this la not a,useless sermon, but that there are multitudes of hearts, waiting for the distillation of the Divine mercy j and eolace in their hour of trials and their ho?ue duties and their own fatigues. The world hears nothing about them.They never speak about them. You could not with the agonies of an Inquisition bring tho truth out of them\ They keep it still. They say nothing. They endure, and will until God and the judgment right their wrongs. Oh, but says some sister, "Are you not trying to show that all a woman's life at home is one of ,selfsacrlflco?" Yes, my sister, and that Is the only kind of life worth living. That has been the life of Florence Nightingale; that was the life of Edward Payson; that was the life of the Lord Jesus Christ; that is the life of every man or woman that is happy— a life of self-sacrifice. Those people living for themselves—are they happy? Find me one. I will give you nil the nations of the earth to find me one. Not happy, no, not happy. It 13 the self-sacrificing people that are happy, for God pays so largely, so gloriously, so magnificently, in ttie deep and eternal satisfactions of the soul. Selfsacrifice. We all admire it In others. How little we exercise of It! How much would we endure; how much would we risk for others? A very "Better Be Wise Than Rich."

The 'boy declined, and more vehemently the teacher said, "I tell you, now, take off your coat; take It off Inctantly." The boy again declined. It was not because he was afraid of the lash; he was used to that in his cruel home. But it was for shame; he had no undergarments, and when at last he removed his ccat there went up a sob of emotion all through the school as they saw why he did not wish to remove his coat, and as they saw the shoulder-blades almost cuttlag through the skin. As the schoolmaster lifted liis whip to strike, a roseate, healthy boy leaped up and said, "Stop, schoolmaster; whip me. He is only a poor chap; he can't ctand it; whip me." "Oh,M said the teacher, "it's going to be a very severe scourging. Btit if you want to take the position of a substitute, you can do i t " The boy said, "I don't care; whip me; I'll take it; he's only a poor chap. Don't you see the bones almost pome through the flesh? Whip me.V' Aud when the blows came down on the boy's shoulders, this healthy, robust lad made no outcry; he endured It all uncomplainingly. We all eay "Bravo!" for liat lad. Bravo! That is the spirit of Christf Splendid! How much scourging, tow much chastisement, how much anguish will you and I take for others?

CONGRESS . 1 The agricultural appropriation bill was called up in tiui senate, considered and pabsed with only a few unimportant changes. Also » bill removing the ' -disabilities of certain persons engaged in the ci^Vwar was passed. Mr. liale, «hairoum^)t t i y naval affairs commit* tee, favorably reported, and the bill creating ao admiral of the navy, It being intended that Rear-Admiral Dewey should gut the office, was passed. A bill'amending the statutes concerning the drawing off, gauging, marking and removal of spirits, so that spirits may be drawn off in packages smaller than barrels and put in tivo-gallon cans for export purposes. House bill for the establishment of a lighthouse and fog signal at Point Arguellow, Cal., were passed. < When Rep. Corliss sprung his Pacific cable bill as an amendment to the sun dry civil bill, a point of ,order was made by Chairman Cannon of the appropriations committee, that it was new legislation. The objection was supported by Rep. Bennett, of New York, who advocated the consideration of his bill to pay a subsidy to a Pacific cable company. Corliss contended that his bill was for the continuation of the cable route to Hawaii, of which the naval appropriation bill of 1891 appropriated 825,000 for the survey of the route was made. He then asked consent to withdraw the bill, but this was denied. A very sensational and unexpected thing happened in the house during the consideration of the the sundry civil bill. The paragraph carrying appropriation of $20,000,00 0 for payment to Spain under the terms of the peace was stricken out upon a point of order made by Mr. Wheeler, a Kentucky Democrat, who declared that he opposed the appropriation on principle and would resort to any technicality to defeat it. The point of order was debated for hours and finally sustained by a vote of 149 to 56. The military academy appropriation bill has been pasted in the senate. After a spirited debate over the amend ment providing for an appropriation to secure fast mall service between New York and Washington and .Atlanta and New Orleans the amendment was retained in the bill. A house resolution to pay ccertain laborers and mechanics at U. S. navy and naval stations 50 per cent additional for work performed in excess of eight hours per day was adopted. The house finally settled the fate of the Nicaragua canal bill in this congress by refusing to override the decision of the chair in committee of the whole, when the chair held that the canal bill offered as an amendment by Mr. Hepburn was out of order. The friends of the Nicaragua bill were vary mnfiriftnt, for t?»n 4gjfl that would triumph, but after four hours of debate the chair was sustained, 127 to 100. , The senate committee on appropriations reported the postoffice appropriation bill increasing the total appropriation of the bill over the amount as it passed the house to the extent of 9333,238 , and raised the total to 8103,- 533,038 . The Ben ate by a vot« of 20 to 22, adopted the McEnery resolution, which disclaims intention to annex the Philippines or to do more than establish a stable government on the islands and prepare them for local self-government.

Bluffton, Ohio, says about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and how well it prepared her for maternity: " DEAR MRS. PINEHAM:—I must say a word in praise of your Vegetable Compound. I used three bottles of it when I was pregnant, and labor was not nearly as long as it was with my other babies; and my baby is so healthy to what the others were. I think every woman should use your Compound when pregnant, it will save them DO much suffering and misery. I cannot say enough in praise of i t If ever 1 need medicine again, I shall use your Compound." The most successful tonic known to medicine for women approaching maternity is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It is a safeguard for every woman who uses it, and the fullest benefit comes from its use with Mrs. Pinkham's advice freely offered to all woman. Her address is Lynn, Mass. Here is a convincing statement, bearing directly on. this subject, from Mrs. E. BISHOP, of 1848 Pacific 81, Brooklyn, N. Y.: M DKAB MRS. PIMKHAH:—I am a great believer in your Compound. I was almost despairing of ever again being well, as I was a great sufferer, sad had been for years. I suffered from womb trouble, and had terrible blind fits. After writing to yen I tried your Compound. The result was astonishing^. I have used it snd advocated it ever since.

It is somewhat Interesting to compare the weights carried by elephant! in the tin-producing districts of the Malay peninsula with those used in the long journeys and mountainous country of the Lao states. In the peninsula the distances are Beldom more than, at most, three or four days' march, and the elephant is expected to carry as much as 900 or 1,000 pounds, . besides his mahout and howda. The latter is often a mere brace of pannier*, slung together so as to rest one on each side of the backbone, and covered sometimes with a light barrel roof of bark. A good tusker which will carry 950 pounds will fetch $250, and a female which can bear 800 pounds is worth about $225. In the Lao states, where Journeys of ten days or three weeks are frequent, the average weight hardly exceeds 300 pounds, or one-third of what is usual in the peninsula. The prices in various parts of the country vary considerably. When we were on the Me Kwang and in Muang Nan, in 1893, a good tusker could be bad for $150, and a female for $115. At Chieng Mai, where good teak-hauling elephants are in great demand, a H&O-and a fcm al e Have You Heard Of it? You may have heard about SCOTT'S EMULSION and have a vague notion that it b cod-liver oil with its bad taste and smell and all its other repulsive features. It b cod-liver oil, the purest and the best in the world, but made so palatable that almost everybody can take it Nearly all children like it and ask for more. SCOTT'S EMULSION looks like cream; it nourishes the wasted body of the baby, child or adult better than cream or any other food m existence, ft bears about the same relation to other emulsions that cream does to mHi If you have had any experience with other so-called "just» good" preparations, you wUI ftnd that this fe a fact toaeap the body* 'Yoffc. anything from $250 to $500, according to her strength and ability. In the Siamese Malay states there are probably about 1,000 domesticated elephants, all told, and in the Lao country probably over 2,500 animals are working at .^e present moment. That these as4malr Jreed in captivity in Siam Is due to the fact that a large number of them spend the greater part of their time holiday-making in the jungle.
