TTIlHani 8prpnPs Store B.oken Into aid P i l l d Robbers Only Made SJmaU Haul. Three Men Arrested and Held lor Trial. On Thursday night, July 13, while all honeat people were asleep, the stove and postoffice kept by Wm. A. Bprout, of Anderson, just west of this plai H. was broken into and three pairs of shoes, three pairs of socks, about $2.00 in change—mostly penniesenough cancty, salmon, peaches and cookies to make a good lunch, were taken. The thieve* secured a small steel bar at the blacksmith shop and tried to open the front door and after breaking a lock or two gave that up and went to the back window which they broke and there made an eaterance, breaking into the postoffiqp first sp as to give Uncle 6am a band in the deal. After securing their booty, they went to the Ey. track and ate a lunch, changing their old shoes for new; this afterward proved a bad move on their part as the new shoes left tracks which were plainly discernable, and they w«r«rtracked to Chelsea by L. W. Whitedjind Fred Sprout who caused their arrest. The three men were brought to Howell add held for examination which was Ueld here' Monday, they being brought back. Plenty of evidence was (riven a^inst them and they were bound over to August 81, when the eireuit court eon^«n«8r They **ve their names as, Jas. H. Murphy, Ind.; Frank Cavenaugh, Toledo; and Frank Miller, Ft. Wayne. T RQ gocd revolvers, some cartridges and a pint bottle about half full of powder, was found hid near where they were arrested; also two sacks containing $1.35 in pennies, and four ladies1 watch chains. The money left in the till outside the poetoffice was all in pennies, and Mr. Sprout testified that there was somewhere between $1 25 and $1.50 but could not remem- W just how many. One or two of the men were seen around Pinckney Thursday, and one at least, boarded the freight—on the truss rod—the evening of the robbery. They are evidently the ones wanted not only for this oflense, but several others in and about the county. LOCAL NEWS. Corn, in thin locality is looking excellent, and promises a big crop.

The average estitaaated yield is eight bushels per acre In the Northern counties, where threefourths of the crop is raised, eight in *he central counties, 11 in the northern counties and eight for the state. The total number of bushels reported marketed by farmers in June is 620,443 Tbushels, and tb^ total for the 11 months August-June, 15,857,151, or 705,510 less than for the same month last year.

Here ia the very latest game gotten up by promissory note swindler^ and worked in southwestern Michigan. A well dressed man of clerical appear* ancedrives up to a farmhouse and asks permission to stay for the night. Before the family and their guest retire for the night a man and woman stop a t tae house and inquire the way to the nearest minister, saying they wish j r e s e r * o i r t e no pain or evil effects from the bite. The tirat noticed of this terrible malady was the queer action of Mrs. Ndsjett on the above date. Sho had harnessed herself to a rijr, taken tho bits iu her mouth nnd had drawn the buggy about a qunrter of u mile. Several neighbors took her homo and locked her in the barn, where she began to eat hay in a ravenous manner. Doctors pronounce it a clear case of hydrophobia. The patient barks, sptts nnd foams at the mouth, and her suffering is terrible to witness. The physicians have strapped heron a bed, in which position she will probably remain until death comes to relieve her of her terrible agony. Will Have to be Settled In the Courts. Tho Michigan Sugar Co., of Bay City, maintains that the bounty law of ]8'.>7 is constitutional, but Atty.-Uen. Oren snys it is not. Two weeks ago, Land Commissioner French issued a certificate showing that 8-4.00) was due for sugar maiiufnctureJ in January «nrt February of this year, Dix referred the matter to the attorney-general'for an opinion as to his right t©\ draw a warrant for tho payment of the amount from the general fund. The attorneygeneral has concluded that the expense is not a general expense of the state government ou which tho legislature can predicate a tax under section 1, article 14, of the constitution, which says that "The legislature shall provide for ah annual tax, suibVient with other resources, to pay the estimated expenses of the state government, tire interest of the state debt, and such deficiency as may occur in the resource*," This squarely raises the question as to the constitutionality of the law. For a National Filter. The fact that in the near future a filtering- plant to cost £30.000 will be a necessity at Lal;e Ootfuac, the source of Battle Creek's water supply, has caused a, novel suggestion. In the lake, near pumping station, is Ward's island, composed of sand and gravel. The suggested experiment is that a in the center of this t o get married. The guest says he is a clergyman and offers his services. A •'marriage certificate" is filled out T*1\*T the ceremony has been gone larongh with, and the farmer and his wffeare asked to sign it as witnesses.

When the door closed upon Marguerite Lllbourne, as ahe left the lawyer's ofllce in Lance Lane, Valdane Martineau walked up to it and turned the key in the lock. Then he went bapk to the table, sank down in the large armchair, leaned his arms on the hlotting paper which covered the desk, and dropped his head upon them. What was there in Marguerite's artless narrative that could have so deeply shaken the habitual composure of thi^ man of the world? The bowed head did not stir for upwards of half an hour. Valdane Martineau was alone in the company of a thousand evil thoughts, the phantoms of a discreditable past. Presently he raised his head, the powerful hand which lay on the desk was clinched, and through his set lips came one wpr^: "Traitor!'\ Re pushed Ij'ack.hls chair, and begnn to pace the room as if- rest were iu- AFTER 1O2 YEARS "Spoliation CUtw" of 90.009 U Ordered to be P*«ld to the Umln. Jadye Dur.'ee, of Detroit, has disposed of a claim that has been pending for xnaoy year* against the United States g-overniaent and had its origin 102 y<?ftrs ngo. Io HOT one Gideon Leet followed the business of shipping merchant at one ot tho ports on the Atlantic co;w»t, and was tho owner of a half interest in the brig* Matilda. On one of her voyages and while laden -with a valuable cargo of &ugar and rum, the Matilda was captured by a French privateer. The crew were plven a leaky boat and two days' provision and sent afloat Dy good fortune they made a lauding- somewhere, but the exact spot is UQI kuown, and reached their way horn*. They made known to Mr. Leet. the circuuat>ta-n<$ea of the capture aod he filed a claim with congress for the value of his half-interest in the vessel and cargo, which he placed at §9,000. This was presented to the French government, alonjr with a number of other "spoliation claims," nod ariiastment was indefinitely postponed. When the present state of Louisiana was ceded to the United fctatss by France, the former country's claim agaiust the latter were wiped off tho books, but tbe government of the United States assumeyd the "spoliation claims." Gideon Leet's claim bobbed up in congress aftep. tfotet u u t was relegated to the dustbin pigeon-hole. Then Mr. Leet dropped it and came to Michigan and settled on Grosse Isle, where he died, intestate, in 1820. Judge Durfee in settling the claim made an order that tbe amount allowed by conpress should be divided amoog the executors or administrators of the estates of Gideon Leet's six children. flio Not Grasp attheShadongp and Lose the Substance/0' "That she should har* Op^ne* to of all men, in the ivo.rljj<'' .he . said aloudl "talk of poetical justice—talk of the Irony, of fate!

It is no^v announced that tbe real object of the government in sending the reciprocity delegates to Ottawa, after completing the negotiations at Washington, is to endeavor to secure' tbe imposition by tha Dominion governmsnt of countervailing duties on European beet sugar.

So long os the United States maintains a countervailing duty against European beet sugar aod admits the West Indian cane product on toe present favtJrable- terms1,J s*o long must the trade go there.

The Spaniards, on the contrary, were furnished with double rations of grog daring the time of naval engagement. Experiments made in the British army to ascertain the effects of alcohol upon the physical endurance of the troops have result" ed in the banishment by the British war department of spirits, wine and malt liquors from the officers' mess table as well as from the regimental canteen, and from the generals in command down to the drummer boys and camp followers, liquid refreshments have been coufiiied to "tea and oatmeal water."

BegtUar Xeetias; of the 8tate Board of Health. Tne Michigan State board of Health met in regular session at the Capitol at Lansing July 1445. The members present wera Hon. Frank Wells, president, of Lansing; Prot. Delos Fall, of Albion; Dr. Fred R Belknap.of Niles; Judge Aaron V. McAlvay of Man istee; Dr. D. A. McLaehlan of Detroit: and secretary Henry B. Baker. The secretary presented a letter frein John P. MpKinlay, secretary of of the board of health of Detroit, asking the hoard to assist in the pro* ceedings against the physicians oi Detroit for failing to report the existence of consumption. He also presented a letter irom prosecuting attorney of Wayne county asking that be supply evidence'relative to the contagiousness ot consumption. The secretary was authorized to present evidence and go to Detroit if necessary. .Prot. Fall made a report relative to his investigation at Hastings on the sanitary conditions in that city. He stated that old wells were being used for cesspools and there is a question of inMuence on the water supply. Pro.1. Fall was made a committee to continue the investigation and advise with the health officials at Hastings. A statement was presented relative to the distribution of the pamphlet "Michigan a Summer Resort State'1 to editors and others in the states southward, made apparent that, on account of the distribution of this publication, thq summer resorts of Michigan are be^ipg patronized more than heretofore, Relative to the examination of the plans, specifications and sites for two proposed new buildings at the Pontiac Asylum for Insane, when they are ready, the Board will visit Pontiac for that purpose. Dr. MuLaahlan suggested the ap pointtnent of an advisory council to consist of prominent persons in different parts of the state, to aid the Board in the accomplishment of its purposes. Thb secretary called attention to the fact that small-pox was widespread throughout the United States, and at the eQd of June there were many cases in Indiana, it being present in 22 counties. The danger from the spread of this disease seems to be great, and the Board believed that every effort should be made to pre vent its spread when introduced into Michigan. The disease in other localities is comparatively mild, but a mild case of small pox is liable at any time to cause severe cases. Then again the disease is more prevalent and the mortality is much greater in the win ter. The Board believed that the citizens of Michigan should take this occasion to be vaccinated and thus make themselves proof against contracting the disease. Successful vaccination is an absolute prevention and all those not having been success tolly vaccinated within the past five years should be as soon as practicable with reliable virus. With reliable virus there is practically no danger from vaccination. The Board author ized the publication ot a Teachers' Sanitary Bulletin, on the Restriction and Preventation of small pox, Vac cination and Re-Vaccination. The secretary was authorized to collect information relative to the isolation or non-isolation of consumptives at various state asylums for the insane with a view to compiling the data for comprehensive study and subsequent conference with the officials who con trol those institutions.

Paul was hero caluug th.e umg roll of the world's villainy, and he puts in the midst of this roll those persons known in all cities and communities and places as whisperers. They are so cal'ed because they generally speak under Voice and in a confidential way, their hand to the side of thai* mouth acting as a funnel to keep the precious information from wandering into the wrong ear. They speak softly, not be? cause they have lack of lung force, or because they axe overpowered with the spirit of gentleness, but because they want to escape the consequences of defamation. If no one hears but the person whispered nnto and the offender be arraigned, he can deny the whole thing, for whisperers are always first-class liars! Some people whisper because they are hoarse from a cold, or because they wish to convey some useful information without disturbing others; but the creatures photographed by the apostle in my text give muffled utterance from sinister and depraved motive, and sometimes you can only hear the sibilant sound as the letter "S" drops from the tongue into the listening ear, me brief hiss of the serpent as it projects its venom. Whisperers are masculine and feminize, with a tendency to majority on the sides of those who are called "the lords of creation." Whisperers are heard at every window of bank cashier, and are heard in all countingrooms as well as In sewing societies sad at meetings of asylum directors and managers. They are the worst foes of society; responsible for miseries innumerable; they are the scavengers of the world, .driving their cart through ev*ry community;*&n* today, I hoW,up for your holy anafc&eqja^and execration theqe whisp«r«jy From the frequency .with, speaks olj ifceauuftdei conclude that he must somewhat from th«m.

"Eovy, murder, d<j bate, deceit, malignity; whisperers." The law of libel makes quick and stout gr'p of open slander. If I should in a pialii •way, calling you by name, charge you with fraud, or theft, or murder, or uncleannes3, tomorrow .morning I might have peremptory documents served on me, and I would have tc pay in dollars and cents for the damage I had done your character. But these creatures spoken of in my text are so small that they escape the fine-tooth comb of the law. They go on, and they go on, escaping, the judges and the Juries aad the penitentiaries. The district attorney cannot find them, the sheriff cannot find them, the grand jury cannot find them. Shut them'offfrom one route of perfidy and they start on another. You cannot by the Why, our neighbor, paor thing, came down off the steps in a flood of tears. That brute of a husband has been abusing her. Well, it's just as Z expected. I saw him the other afternoon very 6mlllng and very gracious to some one who smiled back, and I thought then I would just go up to him and tell him he h&d better go home and look after his wife and family, who probably at that very time were upstairs crying their eyes out. O! Mrs. Allear, do have your husband go over and put an end to this trouble. It's simply outrageous that our neighborhood should be disturbed in this way. It's awful." The fact Is that one man or woman set on fire of this hellish spirit will keep a whole neighborhood aboil. It does not require any very great brain. The chief requisition is that the woman have a small family or no family at all, because, if she have a large family, then she would have to stay at home and look after them. It la very important that she be single, or have no children at ail, and then she can attend to all the secrets of the neighborhood all the time. A woman with u large family makes a very poor whisperer. It is astonishing how these whisperers gather up everything. They know everything that happens. There are telephone and telegraph wires reaching from their ears to all the houses in the neighborhood. They have no taste for healthy news, but for the scraps and peelings thrown out of the scullery into the back yard they have great avidity. On the day when there is a new scandal in the newspapers, they have no time to go abroad. On the day when there are four or five columns of delightful private letters T iOME GOOD JQKES > AND Pa^ul foree of moral them to desist. sentiment persuade You might as well read the Ten Commandments to a flock of crows, expecting them to retreat Wider the foripe of moral sentiment.

MeCOftjgfcifrv w m t ft J, LYNCH, TOU You will d wcon»wy In A clga haaglsg above a little ahop told the world of Hiyaide that Miaa Jan« Dody, milliner, bad started in Until this 8lgn appeared Haysider* bad been obliged td tlrive to Nesburg 6r seid to the city for their millinery and Mvlns formed the habit it waa a question whether they would bfeak it and patronize the new establishment. Mias Jane did not know many town people, for she had lived in the eotintry with an old aunt, who had lately died, leaving her a legacy of 9300. It waa a small capital, but being entirely dependent on her own exertions Miss Jane decided to start a millinery shop. She was old enough to decide tor herself, being almost 40, but she was a timid woman and thought it better to ask Mr. Hope's advice first. Mr. Hope was president of the bank, an old friend of her aunt's and much admired and respected by herself. He was Ju3t entering hte •seventies, but many a man of 50 envled\bjs vitality and ycuthfulness. of feeling. He was a widower and lived aloue in the "great houie" cf the village, where he dispensed hospitality and charity with an 6?en hand. Rich, Influential and busy, he yet had time to listen to any tale of distress or give advice when requ?i>rd. Mr. Hope had always liked little Miss Jane and was more than willing to listen to her plans and help her all he could. She was shown into his private office at the bank, blushing' like one of the roses she held In her" Inndi and making quite a pretty picture. "1 have 5300, you know, Mr. Hope.' Wrfuld you aQvfte'ine.to start a milling ery shop with it or save it anrf^gb'io" the1 city to get employment?"1 she' asked. Mr. Hope kndw how difficult It would , be for a woman like Miss Jane, untrained aud timid, to get work in the city, and quickly told her it would be best to try the shop end he was sure sne woujd get oa well. "bring on the best goods you can get and you will be sure to. succeed. Everybody will buy from yo.u. I dou't wear bonnets myaelf," he added, laughing, "but I'll send all my friends to you." At the close of thl3 interview tht prospective milliner left the bawker with a light heart and had visions of a little shop expanding in time to a great establishment, wh^re she herself was mistress of a great arm/ or assistants. In a short while the new store wa3 opened to the public, its pwne.r having, stocked,up in the city and bought a small but iiahdsor.'.e line of goods t? to turn thU into Cowers and feathers and ofher requisites of her trade, or would it be flying in tho face of providence to use it? "Use it by all means, Miss Jane. Times are looking up, business is- golug to revive and I am sore your money will be more than doubled/' he answered. Again acting on hie' advice she bought the best her money would buy and began to prepare for, her "fall opening." Her nimble fingers copied pattern hats and dainty bonnets until resting in her showcase and oa the battprnas w,$re as. tasty and .enticing a lot of head covering as had ever been seen by the town. The sight before the opening she retired late, but woke up from a dream of being choked to find her room full of smoke. Almost stifled she threw on her wrapper and groping her way to the door ran out into the street crying "Fire!" The house was a double one and the other side was already wrapped in flames when Miss Jane gave the alarm and the other tenants, whose carelessness had caused the fire, baraly escaped with their lives. Poor Miss Jane stood in the street wringing her hands rn desnatr while1 the cruel flames devoured her pretty hats and bonnets, as if they were but a delicious morsel, until a kind neighbor came and led her home. The "opening day" had arrived, the little Lilllinery shop was open, in very truth, to the public, but there was nothing but ashes to gaze on. Black despair, starvation, even the poorhouse, stared Jane Dody in the face, as sitting by the neighbor's hearth she wept silently and dared not look into the future. '••Early in the morning Mr. Hope hfearbT'the news. He remembered it was by his advice tliat all the rahliner's money wa3 invested In that now ruined stock. Poor little woman! What could he do for lier? He could not offer her money or a home. A home? Wh> not? He smiled at the thought arftl the little milliner's sweet face, sweet though iy> longer youthful, appeared to him with new charm. Hastily leaving his hcu^e be sought and found Miss Jane. When he asked her to marry him tshe said "No" at first, for she felt sure It wa3 only pity that moved his heart. But she looked so sweet and confused when she refused him that the dear oM gentleman fell in loVe with her on the spot and succeeded in making himself, aswell its Her, believe that he had really loved her a ltfhg time and had only -awaited a favorable opportunity •of telling her. So, having no one to 'consult, they were married the very r;:;t day. hi spite of the bride-elect's protests that the haste was uns'eremly.

''The lltYle woman and Ler one helper were kept busy the first few days and Miss Jane thought her visions of success were not so unfounded as to be ridiculous, for money flowed freely into her coffers. But after the first excitement trade settled down considerably and there was plenty of spars time for breathing, For the first time in her life Mlu Jane learned what it cost to live. Having lived most of her life in the country, 'where things were had "for tho raising," groceries gotten' in exchange for country produce and no rent to pay, even the amount it took to run her little establishment was alarming to her. Anxieties would creep In occasionally. If the fall trade was not good how was she to get through the winter? Such thoughts worried her often through the week, but on Sabbaths, being ft food Episcopalian, she dismissed them and. prayer book fn hand, wended her way devoutly to the chapel.

The most primitive method in chronology is that which enables man to orient himself in the worM of time by associating particular luratlona with vicissitudes of weather, with seasonal isp*>cts of vegetation, and with the constantly changing sights and sounds of the animal world, cays Popular Science Monthly. In the calendar of the CrcBs, for example, we f»«d &uca desiga «tiona aa "duck-month," "frogmoon," . wFedSmobn," > month,? "bugjiio-rutdng, "leaves entirely changed/' "leaves fn the' trees," "fishHjalbhi&g noon," "moon that strikes the earth cpld,'' "coldest moon," "ice-tbawlng moon,'* "eagles-seen moon." So in the calendars of Central America and Mexico the months are named variously after the arrival of birds, the blossoming of flowers, the blowing of winds, tho return of mosquitoes and the appearance of fishes. Th3 Greeks constantly used the movements of birds to mark the seasons; the arrival of the swallow and kite were thus noted. Hesiod tells us how tho cry of the crsne signaled the; departure of winter, while the sitting of the p1eiade3 gave notice to the plowman when to begin his work.

The young man came here from William8ton last year and Fred Fish kindly allowed him to keep his shop open while he was necessarily absent and.gave him the proceeds of the barber shop; this lie took advantage of cutting rates and then starting a competing shop. He lured a young girl to run away with him on Monday evening but failed. After taking the poison he went immediately to the doctor and told him, which shows his object.

Not many people witnessed Blondln's first crossing, the Impression having been general that the man was insane or would fall at t^e last moment When he had accomplished the feat, the utmost amazement was expressed, which, however,* was again turned to Incredulity when he announced that he would cross the wire again, and this time with a man on bis back—Darry Colcourt, Blondln's business manager, a man weighing one hundred and fifty-five pounds. The feat was successfully accomplished on the afternoon of August 17, 1859, amid roars of applause from the multitude that looked on. On August; 24th in the same year, Blondin crossed on the rope chained hand and foot, and on his return carried with him a cooking stove on which he made an omelette, In the summer of the following year he had the cable removed to a point below the suspension bridge, and Immediately over the whirlpool rapids, where he gave several further exhibitions, one being on August 2, 1860, when the Prince of Wales and the governor-general of Canada looked on. Before Blondin started, the Prince, having looked at the wire and the rapids, became nervous, went to Blondin and begged him not to make the attempt But the rope-walker smiled, •ai d it was not so dangerous as It looked, and soon went across with Oolcourt on his back. There have been many imitators of Blondln. In 1878 an Italian named Bellini stretched a wire from opposite the ferry landing to Prospect Park, and three times he jumped from the middle of the cable into the rivet and swam to shore. Steve Peer, a celebrated American wire-walker, repeated Blondin's feat on June 22, 1887 In connection with the Queen'8 Jubilee celebration on tbe Canadian side. He crossed in nineteen amateur rope-walker, thirty-eight years of age, had practiced almost daily for some weeks on a wire stretched sixty feet above the water of Toronto Bay, before he essayed taS tremendous adventure which mads Blondln so famous. This- he undertook dressed in tights and m w j« f l f, and carrying a pole twenty-two and a half feet long, weighing thirty pounds. He Bhowed no uneasiness or nervoos> ness, although slight unsteadiness of the long cable caused him to pause frequently to regain the balance that fee momentarily lost. l When he reached the center of tfcfr gorge, this amateur lay down on MB back on the wire, with his balancing pole under him. Two hundred and fifty feet below ran the furious rapids, ready to devour him should he make a misstep. He did a number of other daring feats as he aeared the other end of the wire, and finally touched soH on the American side fBhteea •dnttte s alfetr he started. A few minutes later he reappeared with a hoop around his ankles, and In this way walked out on the wire about two hundred yards. FOR SALE, HYDRAULIC CIDER PRESS and ACME JELLY PAN.

Subjects which -were expected to show differences of opinion almost impossible to reconcile were disposed of with aminimumof friction. Perhaps the most important was the scheme for serving the Latin-American episcopate from the jurisdiction and control of the Spanish primate. This was finally imposed, despite vehement protests from the Spanish church. Henceforth the .. church of South America will have a-aAfnatieanborn primate chosen by the pope^him* self.

Elsie looked the picture of loveliness in her white muslin aad cherry colored ribbons. One trance at her bright face with its ever Tarjring expression, told you that so far her path through life lay in the broad sunshine. But; not uo with Agnes \Payiand. She wavclad In sober gray and looked as •oojl.ag an iqicle this waxm afternoon. Her pale, handsome face wore Its habitual expression of sadness. You looked* at that face once, and you knew instinctively that the governess walked ia the shade. Thore wa3 n, footstep on the gravel path.. El^le looked to see who was coming. t ft was her lover, Walter Thornton, and her face brightened instantly. "Here conies Walter, Agnes. Wait you ceo him. £o .away crazy jealous." . *Take care, dear," came e warning roice from the governess. Elsie paiil no heed to Agnes, tor the ktoment Walter approached the steps she .exclaimed: "Oh, Walter, I called on Ella May denra at the hotel this morning, and I •wmm introduced to Mr. Gilbert Downing, whose, coming has created such a furore—and, oh, he is go nice!" ana KMe'i hands came together in a clasp of delight, just as Walter set his foot cm the porch. "Oh dear, he is so nice!" and Walter mimicked Elsie's tones as he bowed smilingly to the governess. "Yea, he's so nice! I suppose you're smgry because I like him!" cried Elsie, indignantly. "Oh, yes, awful angry," and Walter laughed good naturedly. 'My dear El- «i«. I .-expected you'd agree with the general verdict 'perfectly splendid.' Why can't I squeeze tny hand into a six glove and my foot into a four boot?" and Walter looked ruefully at "Be careful, Elsie. Walter Thornton doesc't look like a man you could trifle with. I " "Oh, dear, here comes Mr. Downing now. I hope Walter didn't see him1." interrupted Elsie in 4 voice of deep alarm. The governess quickly raised her eyes. She saw a gentleman coming la the gate, and she was en her feet in an inEtant. Great cords had risen on her temples, for a moment her face was crimson from brow to chin, then the blood flowed back in its proper channels, and left her face an ashen hue. "Don't go away, Agnes. I want you to see Mr. Downing; he's really splendid!" said Elsie, and she was so.much interested'in Gilbert Downing that she did not notice the change that came over the governess. "I cannot remain longer, Elsie. I must hear Laura recite her lessons," and the governess vanished before the exquisite gentleman, who came strolling leisurely up the path, could catch a glimpse of her. The long, dai*k shadov/s of evening were fast filling the room where Agnes Wayland sat, and in the semi-darkness her face looked as if it were cut from pure white marble. "Agnes, Agnes! are you here?" "Yes, Elsie," ansv/ered Agnes, and Elsie' burst into the room. "Oh! dear, dear Agnes, it's just like you, to be mojping in the dark! I don't see how you can do it. I should die if I were kept from the light." "I hope you will always love the sunshine, darling," said Agnes, tenderly, for she had learned to love Elsie Leroy. "Oh. I couldn't exist without sunshine," said Elsie, laughing. "What made you run away this afternaan, Agnes? I wanted you to see Gilbert Downing. He is coming this evening, though, and you must come downstairs. I krio# you'UUke htm, and we'll have a real jolly time. I hope Walter will come over this evening. If he does I'll flirt desperately with Gilbert Downing, just to pay him off for treating me so coldly this afternoon."

"I am not at home to Mr. Downing," said Elsie, and as the servant disappeared to deliver her message, she turned to her lover, and putting her arm around his neck, she said: "Walter, I told you today I thought Mr. Downing was splendid. Well, I've changed my mind. I think he is a conceited wretch—worse than that, la fuct, and nothing can induce me to speak to him again." Elsie didn't tell Walter why she had changed her mind, but when Mr. Downing saw her in the street next day with her sister's governess he knew why Miss Leroy was not at home to him the night before, and in a few hours he had left his hotel and was seen at the watering-place no more.— New York Evening News.

If something is cot done to prevent It, Capt. James Foster, an American sapper possessing even more than the usual amount of intrepid daring and pluck generally attributed to the Yankee mariner, is about to be dispossessed by the Japanese government of a minute little island over which he has for many years exercised the absolute sway of a potentate. Capt. Foster Is somewhat of a Rob- * lnson Crusoe. The island, he says, is his by right of discovery and by right of possession, and he does not intend to give It up. It Is located on the tropic of Cancer, half way between the Hawaiian islands and China, Capt. Foster likes the location, and he likes the climate. He says it agrees with his health. The Island is five miles long and is densely covered with trees and shrubbery. A white, sandy beach surrounds it, and near its center is a knoll rising about 200 feet above the sea. Moreover, it is near the track of vessels plying between Honolulu and Yokohama, being 2,700 miles distant from Honolulu and on the direct route to Manila. Altogether, and especially since the results of the recent war have begin: to make themselves felt, Capt. Foster feels that his island, which is known as Marcus island, is a very valuable possession. So he is naturally a little out of sympathy with the Japanese movement. Capt. Foster believes in territorial expansion, but he does not -JtKe~to-se* too-muchof it, aud when, in his own words, "a lot of yellowhided, slant-eyed mongrels try to steal this island I'm going to put a stop to it." So Capt. Foster has applied to the government to interfere, and he confidently expects the government to do so. Capt. Foster discovered the island over ten years ago and received permission from James G. Blaine to raise an American flag thereon*. This was welcome news to Capt. Foster, and a few hours after it reached him the stars and stripes were raised on the island, and there mey have waved ever since, not a single great power uttering a word of protest, but all, on the contrary, tacitly, If not openly, recognizing Capt. Foater's ownership and the suzerainty of the United States. This is not surprising, for until recently no one except Capt. Foster seems to have thought the island of any value. . Capt. Foster says that he has been more fortunate than his predecessor, MT. Crusoe. The latter was forced to repel invading and piratically inclined Malays within a few months after taking possession of his island, whereas only recently, Capt. Foster says, has such a duty fallen upon his shoulders. ALGER RESIGNS. The Secretary of War hat Tendered Bli K«*lgnatlon to the President. Secretary Aljjer on the 19th tendered to the President his resignation of the war portfolio. The resignation will become effective Aug. 1, though it was tendered '*at the pleasure of the President." Gossip has begun already as to his successor, but is entirely speculative, for notwithstanding the reports that Mr. Alger would not long continue at the head of the war department, his actual resignation came suddenly and unexpectedly. No official statement as to the cause of the resignation is procurable either from the President or from Secretary Alger, neither of whom would talk on the subject. Nor was the letter of resignation obtainable at this time. For the present, nothing will be made known officially concerning the severance of the official relations between the President aad his war minister, but later on the official correspondence closing the latter's career as chief of the war department doubtless will be given to the press; One I>eft of a Party of Twelve.

A hen will wrestle for a mouth trying to hatch a chick from a glass egg, and we call it a good joke, hut yet she is no worse than the woman who will pay two car fares to buy an artical for 99 cents when it can be had, of her home merchant, for a dollar.

Married men, according to a German investigator, live longer than bachelors, and are less likely to become insane. Another argument for matrimony is found in the fact that there are 38 criminals among every 1,000 bachelors while among married men the ratio is only 18 to 1,000. Experiments made last season show that ashes were very beneficial to melons, increasing the growth of the vines and inducing a larger growth of fruit. Potash largely assists in the creation of saccharine matter, thus rendering the mellon sweeter. Use the ashes around the plants liberally. It was supposed that the severe weather of last winter had seriously damaged the mint crop in southwestern Michigan, but favor. able conditions for the past few weeks have worked a wonderful change and the expectation now is for the harvesting of nearly a full crop, The harvesting will begin . in a short time/ Boston is now wondering whether the English sparrow was a nuisance or a necessary evil, since her war upon the birds she has been afflicted with a pest of bugs. The British grip is hard one to break. Even when driven out, the little feathered pests have managed to leave the impression that they are indispensable. They raise big hay in Oregon, as the clipping from the Corvallis Times will show: The "Times has another.big hay yield to report, imples brought to the office are , meaqnite and Ofrown byF. B. Becker on his farm thirteen miles southwest of CorvalHs. They are six and one half feet in length. The straw is very fine and rich in leaves.

Josiah Allen's Wife (Marietta: Holley) has finished her new story, and the first enstallment is j published in the August Ladies' Home Journal. It is in her char-' acteristic, humorous vein, but may be said to bo a story with a purpose. It bears the name of "My Stylish Cousin's Daughter." The ; actress, Clara Morris, has written '• a charmingly poetic story, "The j Princess Porcelain," which also! appears in this number. It is the desir« of Miss Morris so become j as well known as an authoress as she is an actress.

U. of Pinckney Social Settlement Work. The third annual Social Settlement Convention was held in Chicago, May 15-17, at the new Hull House theater. Social settlements are defined as "diplomatic" corps between the social classes whom Lord Disraeli once described as 'two nations.' " The social settlement movement started about twenty years ago and has found its most earnest advocates in America. The number of settlements in this country number eighty, in England fortythree and in Scotland eight. Miss Jane Adams, of Hull House, is the acknowledged heart and brain of more varied interests than can be claimed by any other settlement. She is a woman of the widest culture, high social position, and is posessed of ample means. Other well known American social settlement philanthropists are, Mr. R. A. Wood, of South End House, Boston, a close student of social conditions in London; Prof. Graham Taylor, of "The Commons," in the seynteenth ward of Chicago; Harry F. Ward, warden in Northwestern University Settlement, and Miss Mary McDowell, of the University of Chicago Settlement. Statistics are lacking regarding the settlement movement, hence the scope of work is as yet unknown, but it is admitted that the practical, philosophical methods which prevail in the system bid fair to bring about a much dreaded social revolution.

' " ~'"' ~ If yon want ail the news subscribe for the DISPATCH. Uncle Sam has always devoutly desired prohibition for his redskinned wards. For sixty years the United States has endeavored to suppress liquor selling in the Indian Territory. It is a penal offence to carry any kind of intoxicating liquor into an Indian reservation, and the same penalty is imposed upon its sale to Indians everywhere. To enforce this law courts have been increased, and deputy marshals, running into the hundreds, have been added in the territory and along the border. While the Indians were comparatively alone upon their reservation, it was difficult to control their thirst for fire-water, but with 350,000 white* men added to the population, the evil is multiplied tenfold. A sober Indian may be made into a good citizen, but drunk, his savage instincts and passions convert him into a demon. Ninety-five per cent of the crime of all kinds committed in the Indian Territory can be traced to drink. Ex-Bepresentative Springer, of Illinois, one of the judges of the territorial courts, has decided that any liquid containing more than two per cent of alcohol is intoxicating. Hard cider, "hop tea," jumaica ginger, vanilla extract many kinds of "grocery goods" and various decoctions, sold under the name of patent medicines, have been shown, by chemical analysis, to contain more alcohol than the law allows, and hayeJ been ruled out, although it has | been proved that a man might i have to drink gallons before he! would be intoxicated. Why cannot Uncle Sam show the same interest and cousideration for those of hia own imm AufUil FUwer, "It is a surprising tact" says Prof. Houton "that m my travels in all parts of the world tor the last ten years, I have met more people having used Green's August Flower than anv order is, Indeed, a pendant to that better- known home of the veterans of the rank and file, Chelsea hospital.

YANKEE ADVERTISING DODGE. Shrawd HiutUr Make* • Good Cl«»n-Up with Ckeap Cigar*. < From the Detroit Journal: An excollector of customs relates this as among his experiences: "Some years : ago and shortly prior to the holidays a man came into the office and said ; that he wanted to talk with me per- ! sonjally. He looked like an unsophis- ' ticated fellcw who had come in from , the country to try his hand at business, though he had sharp feature? and a j nasal twang. ! arch of the insubordination shown by " 'Mister,' he began, when we were I the stout old warriors tc the rules alone, 'I'm in a kind of a snarl, and j that had been made for their govern- I've come to you because I want to do j ment. The almsknights replied, but in the square thing. I had a nice lot of I cunning they were no match for their Havaney cigars shipped to Windsor, j adversaries; "deeds not words" might thinkin' I could do a stroke sellin' 'em I have been their motto. In the end here in Detroit. I had a man there to they were shut off from the royal vision made for them by the king. According to the original grant these veterans were to be "such as through adverse fortune were brought to that extremity that they had not of their own wherewith to sustain them nor to live so genteelly as became a military condition." That they might live "genteelly" they were given a lump sum of 40 shillings a year, and 12 pence each day they attended the rdyal chapel—a small pension, it seems to us, but it must be remembered that money has vastly decreased in purchasing power since those early days. But evil fortune awaited the almsknights. They had been placed under the supervision of the canons of S t George's chapel, and these priests seem to have bullied them unmercifully. Under Edward IV. the quarrel had grown to such a pitch that the king interfered. Monks carried long tales to the montake care of 'em till I came on, but he, not knowing* nothin' about the law, packs them cigars in a boat and brings 'em over here without payin' no duty. I reckon it was smugglin', but he's honest as the sun and I hurried right here soon's I heerd of what he'd done. Here's a sample of them cigars,' as he held out a box, and I want to say right here that I never had a more delicious smoke. He took me to the little room he had rented and showed me hundreds of boxes on which he had paid the duty, and I let the matter drop. It got into the papersi, even to my verdict as to the quality of the cigars. . "Then my honest Yankee made a special Christmas sale, patronized chiefly by ladies who did not care so much about price as they did about the credit of having once selected good goods. He was closed out in no time and disappeared. There was a rank odor in the local atmosphere that Christmas. The cigars were cheap Connecticut fillers and cheaper Pennsylvania wrappers. The cigars be gave a ^ringer* UUnnccllee SSaaiinn got" money that did not belong to him, but It was an advertising scheme out of which the Yankee made a fat thing." ••Icanl o Eruptions Are grand, but skin eruptions rob life of joy.

Capt. William Astor Clianler, Congressman troru New York, is the pre> bounty, and, as an old chronicler of the times remarks, "How they next subsisted doth not fully appear." Bluff King Hal, however, took pity on the poor old men that yet remained in the land of the living and set apart certain lands for their maintenance. Queen Bess added to their lodgings, but issued a series of strict regulations as to their behavior which well became the maiden queen, however distasteful they were to the almsknights themselves. Their old enemies, the canons of St. George's chapel, were informed that the> were to consider themselves responsible for their behavior and severe penalties awaited a "haunter of taverns" or a "keeper of late hours." When the queen visited Windsor they were to be ready to salute her. Lastly, it was ordained that no married man could be admitted to the order, bachelors and widowers being alone eligible. Until the reign of William IV. their uniform was more ornamental than comfortable. Indeed, during hot weather -it—must have-been well nigh intolerable, consisting as it did of a flowing mantel, decked with a "scutcheon of St. George" upon the shoulder. Since the reform instituted by that king, however, it has consisted of a* red swallow tail coat, dark blue trous? ers, coqked hat with red and white plume, crimson silk sash and a leather belt for a sword.

LAST SUNDAY'S 8U0JEC* "And Brought Him to an Ian and Took Cure of Illm, aud Oa the Morrow When He Departed, Said 1 Will Thee"—Luke 10: 34-36. . It Is one of the curiosities of human justice that a man against whom the * •most indubitable evidence- of murder could be brought might go scot free •through such a clerical error as the writing of a wrong given name in tb.3 1 Indictment. The defendant Becker,' lately on trial in Chicago, made several confessions of the murder of his wife; but perhaps the most important point in his case just nof turns on the mistake made in drawing the indictment. The dead woman's name was Theresa Becker. The indictment read Elizabeth Becker, and positive evidence that the accused man committed the crime might finally be overthrown by this slip of the pen. No one but the lawyers really knows wli)*. i "Cash K." is the curious verbal disguise under which, for ten years past, some generous person, who uses an Omaha paper as hii agency, has given many thousands o! dollars to worthy people and deserving objects. No one but the editor of the paper knows who the hidden philanthropist i«. Yet happily, although^'Cash £." .Is able to give large sums of money, he 1* only a type of many who. in equally selfeffacing^ ways, are offering help and hope to tlie needy and the unfortunate. A soldier's widow vent the other day tp, the. Emperor of AUstfla to;b^eg the granting of * pension to which' she was not, through some technicality, legally entitled. He heard her appeal and' granted It fiat as Ebe was leaving the castle some one told her that the emperor had not signed hie name upon hey written petition, and that therefore she mast, in spite of his kind, words, consider it rejected. At that she" burst into fit of weeping, so vehemently that the emperor heard her. from hte window, and came cfut to see what was the matter. On being informed, be gave ha * thousand gulden from his own purse, and assured her that her petl- # , g n m t e d , for, h« aided, "An jwror't word needs not the conflrof his signature;" as the com- •aying has it, "His word Is as aikU bond." It was » little Inalthough great to the poor, woman, and great, too, in its significance of a character that is loved "by tfce people above those of most other (Copyright 1699 by Louis KlopscbJ This is the good Samaritan the hotel bill of a man who had been robbed and almost killed by bandits. The good Samaritan had found the unfortunate on a lonely, rocky road, where, to this very day, depredations are sometimes committed upon travelers, and had put the injured man into the saddle, while this merciful and Well-to-do man had walked till they got to the hotel, and the wounded man was put to bed and cared for. It must have been a very superior hotel in its aecommodatiou, for, though in the country, the landlord uas paid at the rate oJf what in owr country would be four or five dollars a day, a penny being then a day's wages, and the two pennies paid iu this case about two days' wages. Moreover, it was one of those kind-hearted landlords who are wrapped up in the happiness of their guests, because the good Samaritan leaves the poor wounded fellow to his entire care, promising that when he came that way again he would pay all the bills until the invalid got well. Hotels and boarding-houses are necessities. In very ancient times they were unknown, because the world had comparatively few inhabitants, and those were not much given to travel, and private hospitality met all the wants of Eojourners, as when Abraham rushed out at Mamre to invite the three men to sit down to a dinner of veal; as when the people were positively commanded to be given to hospitality; as in many of the places in the East these ancient customs are practiced today. But we have now hotels presided over by good landlords, and boarding- houses presided over by excellent host or hostess, in all neighborhoods, villages and cities, and it is our congratulation that those of bur land surpass all other lands. They rightly become the permanent residences of many peopple, 'sutH a^ those who are without femiliea, such Ss those whos? business keeps them migratory, such as those who ought not, for various reasons of health or pcculiaity of circumstances, to take upon themselves the cares Qt housekeepiuE. ( Many a nian falling sVck in one of these boarding-houses or. hotels has Wen kindly watched and nursed; and by ttife memory of her, own sufferings and losses tife lady at the head of such a house has done all that a mother couitf do^or a sick child, and the sluinberless eye of God sees and appreciates her sacrifices ia behalf of the stranger. Among the most marvelous 'cases of patience and Christian? fidelity are many of those who keep beardinghouses, enduring: without resentment the unreasonable, demands of their guests for expensive food and attentions, fqr ,wfciQh they, are not willing .to pay an equivalent—a, lot of cranky men and. women who are not worthy to tie the-jBhoe of their queenly caterer. The outrageous way in which boarders Sometimes act to ;heir landlords and landladies shows that these critical guests had bad early rearing, and that in the making-up of'their natures all that constitutes the gentleman and lady was left out. Some of the r:cst princely men and sonw of the most elegant women that I know of today keep hotels and boarding-houses. But one of the great evils of this day is found in the fact that a large population of our towns and cities are giving up. and have given up their homes and taken apartments, that they may have more freedom from domestic duties and more time for social life, and because they like the whirl of pub- Hetty tetter tMn thc^ratet aod privacy of a residence they can call their own. The lawful use of these hotels and boardipg-houses is tor most people while they are intranslt; but as a termius they are in many cases demoralization, ntter and complete. That is the point at which families innumerable ijave begun to disintegrate. There never has been a time when so many families; healthy and abundantly able. to support and direct homes of their, Own; have strucic tent and taken permanent abode (i these public establishments. It is an evil wide as fch'ris-" tendom, an<i by voice'an cf through the newspaper press I utter warning and burning protest, and ask Almighty God to bless the word, whether in the hearing or reading. One of the worst damages that comes from the herding of so many people into boarding-houses and family hotels is inflicted upon children. It is only another wiy «T bfiigiBg tfiem up oa the commons. While you have your own private house you can, for the most part, control ti»eLr_ companionship and their whereabouts; but by twelve-years of age In- these- public resorts, they will have picked up all the bud things that can be furnished by Che pruslan* minds ot dozens of people. J They w:IV overhear blasphemies, see quarrels, and get precocious in slu, and what the bartender does not tell them the porter or hostler or bell l>ny will. Besides that, the children will go out into this world without the restraining, anchoring, steadying, and all-controling memory of a home. From that none of us who have been blessed of such memory have.escaptd. It grips a man for eighty years, U he lives so long. It pulls him back from doors into which he otherwise would enter. It smites htm with contrition in the very midst of his dissipations. As the fish already surrounded by the long, wide net swim out tp &ea, thinking they can go as far as they please, and with gay toss of silvery scale they defy the sportsman on the beach, and alter awhile the fishermen begin to draw in the net. hand over hand,^ and handover hand, and it is a long while before the captured fins begin to feel the net, and then they dart this way and that, hoping to get out, but find themselves approaching the shore, and are brought up to the very feet of the captors, so the memory of an early home sometimes seems to relax and let men out further and further from God, and further and further from shore—flve years, ten years, twenty years, thirty years; but some day they 2nd an Irresistible mesh drawing them back, and they are compelled to retreat from their prodigality and wandering; and though they make desperate effort to escape the impression, and try to dive deeper down In sin, after a while are brought clear back and held upon tne Rock of Ages. If it be possible O father and mother! let your sons and daughters go out into the world under the semi-omnipotent memory of a goo<i, pure home. About your two or three rooms in a boarding-house, or a family hotel, you can cast no such glorious sanctity. They will think of these public caravansaries as an early stopplsgplace, malodorous with old victuals, coffees perpetually steaming, and meata in everlasting stew or broil, the air surcharged with carbonic acid, and corridors along which drunken boarders come staggering al one o'clock In the morning, rapping at the door till the affrighted wife lots them in. Do not be guiity of the sacrilege? cf blasphenay of calling such a place a home. A home is four walls enclosing one family with identity of interest, and a privacy from outside inspeetion BO complete that it is a world in ttself, no one entering except by permission^— bolted, and barred, and chained against all out eide inquisitiveness. The phrase so often used in law booU» and legal circles is mildly suggest^— every man's house is his castle. As much so as though it had drawbridge, portcullis, redoubt, bastion, and armed turret. Even the officer of the law rnriy not enter to serve a writ, except the door be voluntarily opened unto him; burglary, or the invasion of it, a crime so offensive that the law clashes its iron jav.-s on any cne who attempts it. Unles3 it be neceg^ary to stay for longer or shorter time in family hotel or bcarding-house—and- there arc thousands of-instances in which it is necessary, as I showed ycu at the beginning— unless in this exceptional case, let neither wife nor husband consent to such permanent residence. The public residence of hotel and boarding-hcuse abolishes the grace of hospitality. Your guest does not want to come to such a table. No one wants to run such a gunntlet cf acute and merciless hyper-criticism. Unless you have a home of your own you will not be able to exercise the best rewarded of all the graces. For exercise of this grace what blessing came to the Shunammite in the restoration of her son to life because she entertained Elisha, and to the widow cf Zarephath in the perpetual oil well of the miraculous cruse because she fed a hungry prophet, and to Rahab in the preservation of her life at the demolition of Jericho because she entertained the spies, and to La ban in the formation of an interesting family relat^n because of his entertainment of Jacob, and to Lot In his rescue from the destroyed city because of his entertainment of the angels, and to Mary and Martha and Zaccaeus in spiritual blessing because they entertained Christ, and to Publius in the island of Melita in the healing of his father because of the entertainment of Paul, drenched from the sh,ipwreck,. an<l. of innumerable houses throughout Christendom upon which have 9ome blessings from generation to generation because their . door3 swung easily open in the, .enlarging, ennobJlLg, irradiating and. divine grace of hospitality. I do not know what your experience has been, but I have had men and women visiting at my house who left a benediction on every room—in the blessing they asked at the table, in the prayer they offered at the family altar, in the good advice they gave the children, in the gospeiization that looked out from every lineament of their countenances; and their departure was the sworo" of bereavement. The Queen of Norway, Swtden . to . and Denmark had a royal cup of Un curves, or lips, each one having on It the name of the distinguished person who had drunk from it. And that cup hospitality, though it be of the plainest earthenware, i t a-Mgral cup, and God can rta^on all Hi sides l i e nape* of those > h o ftpvft-Uitn fi*m freshmeni B«t atfIthip Is unless yon naV* *>'toots* fof yonr «wn. Young married *a&«.at,.soqn askyou can. buy a place even if you havift to put on it a mortgage reaching from base to capstone. The much-abused mortgage, which is ruin to a reckless man, to one prudent and provident is the beginning of a competency and a fortune for the reason he will not be satisfied until he has paid it off, and all the household are put on stringent economies until then. Deny yourself all superfluities and all luxuries untU you can say, "everything in this house is mine, thank God!—every timber, every brick, every foot of plumbing, every door-sill." Do not have your children born in a boarding-house, and do not yourself be burled from one. Have a place where your children can shout and sing and romp without being overhauled for the racket. Have a kitchen where you can do something toward the reformation of evil cookery and the lessening pj . this nation of dyspeptics. As Napoleon lost one of his great battles by an attack of indigestion, BO many men have. such,, a daily wrestle witY the food swallowed, that they have no strength left for the battle of life; and though your wife may know how to play on all musical instruments and rival a prlma donna, she is not well educated unless she can boil an Irish potato and broil a mutton- chop, since the diet sometimes decides the fate of families and nations. Have a sitting-room with at least one easy-chair, even though you have to take turns at sitting in it, and books out of the public library or of yOUX own purchase for the making of your family intelligent, and checker-boards and guessing matches, with an occasional blind man's bluff—which \s of all games my favorite, Rouse up your borne with, all styles cf Innocent mirth, and gather up in your children's nature a reservoir of exuberance that will pour down refreshing streams \vhen life gets parched, and the dark.(days conae, ar.rt the light $o out, and the laughter is smothered Into a sob.

According to our agreement you were to send some one «.o -fetch Miss Lilbourne from the hotel, >and see to her future yourself. Today I learn, for the first time, that you did not fulfil this last condition. You were not only a traitor to your Tilece— you were a traitor to me. You left to probable want and misery a young and helpless girl who was not ^responsible for her actions. Allow me to remark that, though I tlwaya considered ycu a thorough 'blackguaru, in this you-tavi exceeded all the vileness of which I "•ever, thought you capable. : I have the pleasure to inform you rthat your niece-is now restored to her :right mind, that she is under the protection of a gentleman and his family in London, that she has her wedding Ting, retains a distinct impression of her marriage, and that they are absolutely determined to sift the whole affair to the bottom, I now ask whether you are prepared to make restitution to your ajece of the fortune you fraudulently- took from her. I shall expect an Immediate and direct reply, and beg you to observe that I mean business. It will be quite fruitless for you to atlte- 8 eyes turned upon him in Mathing horror and contempt? Springing up, he paced the room again with restless feet. "Atone—atone!" cried conscience. "It fs all that remains io you. Give bade the money that you received for that shameful piece of work. Set Marguerite free—free to marry some one whom she loves!" He caught his breath and leined against the wall; he looked the picture of misery. He thought of the daily visits he paid Marguerite at Torquay—how the sad eyes brightened at his coming; how she would kiss the flowers he brought her, how she watched for him at the window. She would have followed him to the world's end then—now she had no recollection of having seen his face! He recalled the tears when he used to leave her, the clinging arms around his neck, the soft lips on his cheek— the one word which s-he understood in those days was "Good-by!" "Oh, thank heaven, I was always gentle to her!" he groan&d. Slowly again he approached the table and saw there wa3 something shining there. It wa^ her wedding ring which she had left behind. With a sudden, uncontrollaole impulse he snatched It up and pressed it to hi3 ]ips, then paused, aghast at his own action, and b'.ushed like a girl. He held the golden circlet almost reverently in his hand a moment, staring at it; thtin he put It into his waistcoat pockeU, caught tip th« letter he had written, and tore it across and across, scattering the fragments about the room in his excitement. What was Lady iVIildred to him now? He felt that he bad never loved her. He laid a peremptory hnnd on the bell. "Smiles," he feald, as that worthy appeared, "search Mr. Leroy's safes for a copy of the will of George John Lilbourne, and let me have it as soon as you find It—the first *mng tomorrow morning. I am goic~ s "Yes, sir." door, stridently under the Impression that that room was vacant, and the visitor walked straight in, the.n stopped short with a sudii.a exclamation. A pretty tableau was arranged in tha window. Marguerite was in the arms cf a tall handsome young man in traveling dress. She was crying bitterly, and at the moment of Valdane's inopportune entrance Bernard was in tho act of kissing away aer tears. An insane feeling of indication filled the heart of the intruder, and he with difficulty restrained himself from crying out: "Confound /cu, s!r, let go of xay wife!" He checked himself *ast In time, rauiaged to get oat ac '"I beg your pax-Jon," and beat a hasty retreat. The two parted instantly; Bernard was the first to recover himself. He walked forward, hurriedly took Marguerite's hand, murmured "A iast gootfby, my darling—I shall lose .ray train," and went out into the halT. She followed him, not even heeding the presence of Valdane; stood on the threshold, biting her lip to keep down her tears, and waved him sweet farewells with her little hand. The young lawyer stood Irresolute. He could hardly hope for an Interview in this state of Miss. Lilbourne's emotions- be had not sufficiently .realized before the existence of a tangible rival. Sadly he admitted that young Stelling was a far handsomer man than he. At this moment Marguerite darted by him and ran quickly up the stairs. One of the servants came to him. "Miss Lilbourne will see you in five minutes, if you'll take the trouble to wait, sir" He was ushered into the diningroom, and sat down; the place was shabby, but comfortable; the carpet was worn, bat the bookshelves were well stocked—it was evidently the abode of cultured and refined people. One or two excellent engravings were OH the walls—the window-boxes \yere full of mignonette. Punctually at the expinu.on of tbe five minutes Marguerite came in. Hor eyelids were still red, and she carried a handkerchief in her hand,- but she was quite composed. She wore a white dress, clean and fresh, and he thought he had never seen anything so sweet and gracious as she- looked that day. He was very pale as they shcok hands, and blundered into an apology for disturbing her; a subject she dismissed with a wave of the hand. "You have brought me the will to look at?" she questioned, seating herself near him at the corner of the table. For answer he produced the document, keenly watching the flush which into her-faee. - — - MECCAS OF WESTERN TOURIST Colorado, Utah, California aa«l t»e facilities in the way of euperb equipment for first-olas3 travel If offered by tho old reliable Missouri Paeiflc Railway, the fact mail route from Si.

Could,he hear.-tltf^lsmce' of_jt?. Valdane took his hat and hurried out; even the air of Lance lane seemed reviving after what he had Just passed through. His face was hard and resolute; for a time the struggle was over. "Heaven forgive me if I use deceit," he said; "but I mean, If human effort can accomplish It—I mean to win my own wife!" : CHAPTER VIII. There was little outward change in Doctor Stelling's house to tell of the tremendous social revolution which had so altered the destinies of the dwellers therein. Valdtne Martlneau, walking up to it on the last day of August, noted that a hansom cab was waiting at the door, and presently two servants appeared, carrying down the steps a gentleman's portmanteau, gun,-tennis racket, et cetera. Evidently a departure of some sort was at hand. He addressed one of the servants. "is Miss Lilbourne at home? Can I K* her?" "Yes, sir; walk in. sir, please." Mr. Martlneau walked In accordlngly; the girl threw" open ISe" sargery " 'My wife's only brother, Daniel Brandon!' Why, that was my uncle— Uncle Daniel^-I remember that now! Of course he was Uncle Daniel! Wait." She half started up,, and paused, but sat down again disappointed. "I thought just then that I had remembered the name of—of the other one, you know." "But you cannot?" Fixing h!s eyes upon her, he held his breath. "No," she answered sadly. "I canact," and continued her reading of the will. "Daniel Brandon of Rue Parisienne, Liege.—' That does not help much. It does not give his English address," she said disappointedly. "No, that is a drawback certainly, but; we can try Liege. His business may be there," suggested Valdane, feeling more and mo; o a traitor as he recalled the fact that Daniel Brandon's business had failed, and that hs himself had left Liegs t«:i years ago. Marguerite went on reading. "AH,"'she .cried at length, "here Js daylight on the subject at last! So my father left me money, and it was to go to my uncle if I married against his will. Oh, I have been nobly treated, have I not, Mr. Martineau?" "You have been terrible Y.-ronged," he said in a low voice. She knitted her brows; evidently she was trying to understand. "It seems—it seems— I have It?" she cried at last. "This man—this creature who married me"—Valdone winced—"was nothing but a tool—a thing bribed by my uncle to do his work, paid by Daniel Brandon to go through the farce of marriage with me, In order to get at my money!" "You have quick intelligence. Miss Lilbourne. I think it very likely you are right.' She looked straight into his face with her large searching eyes. "I have also come to the same conclusion," he replied in a low voice. She read to the end, and pushed away the will with a deep sigh. "If I had my rights, I should be » rich woman," she said. "You would. May I'say how eare estly I trust you may obtain your rights?" She looked up at him—a strange,, puzzled look. (To be continued;) ; AWAY FREE!

Oats have ripened fast and cutting* has been quite generally begun In the southern counties; reports indicate that the oat crop will be very good and in many cases exceptionally so. Corn, befcns atid late potatoes have continued to make fine progress, and are in very promising condition. Corn is tasseling quite generally, and is setting for ears, Sugar beet thinning is about finished in the more northerly counties, and reports from all sections say that the crop has made good progress and is in promising condition.

It will be re main be red that 10 years ago the woman was convicted of the crime on no evidence of guilt and sentenced to death by an English jury. Upon a petition signed by r»00,000 persons, mostly Americau men and women, her sentence was commuted from death to life imprisonment. During her 10 years confinement in jail her friends have several times triad to secure her release. Vigorous efforts were recently made by Joseph Choate, the American ambassador in London, to secure her release, but the decision in the house of commons on the 24th, in which it was held that there was no reason for clemency in Mrs. May bricks case, seems to be a final blow to her friends.

The long-pending negotiations between the United States and France were brought to a successful close at the state department late on the afternoon of the 24th, when Ambassador Cambon, in behalf of France, and Com.

It is by far the most hniporiant treaty concluded under the reciprocity provisions of the Dingley liaw and the oDly one affecting the trade- with a large commercial nation.

"Yes; or TMr. -Stellrng will come to Mildred Ames lay out in the hammock under the shade of the spreading beech trees, and idly moved her large fan to and fro. Her brows were puckered into a (rown, her large eyes were absently fixed upon the wide-spreading lawn which lay between her and the house. The v/hite lines which marked the tennis-court seemed to quiver in the heat; the men were shooting, the chaperons lying down, the girls had driven to the home covers to take the sportsmen their lunch. Lady Mildred would not go; she said she had a headache, but the truth was she was suffering from a fit bfill-tempcr. She was Lord Umffavtlle'g only tinmarried daughter and, being the youngest, had been spoilt and petted during infancy, neglected...whilst her sister* went to their balls and receptions, and then suddenly found herself, on her mother's death, mistress of the house. It was a bad training, but the result was on the whole better than might have been expected. Lady Mildred was very charming and not at all arrogant, though she was rather selfish. The Umfraville family was in a bad way, having the misfortune to possess property in Ireland. For the last few years the tendency of affairs had been down, down—hopelessly down. Lady Mildred knew that it was she who was expected to retrieve the family fortunes, and it was this fact which just now weighed upon her mind, for she had been so foolish as to fall in love with her mother's cousin, Valdane Martineau. Valdane was what Lord Umfraville would have superciliously called an "impossible" person. So secure had he bean of the "impossibility" of this -MR. gTwr.ir.TWW IT WAS VERY FO OLISH OF YOU TO LOSE ALL THE SPORT." see you. ILay 1 ke$p this copy of the will?"

CHAPTER LT. ^ wf a w m 4Bepte»hf day. Lady you:»g man that he In viced him each year to CJarludale, feeling confident that no daughter of his would think of a young man who WAS a solicitor, and only moderately well off. He ignored the fact that the man had the manners of an aristocrat, the. bearing of a perfect gentleman, the experience of a man of the world and the reputation of being irresistible. To Lady Mildred, alaa, he was irresistible! She had succumbed to his influence before she knew it. Now it seemed as if she could not break free. Accustomed as she was to admiration, she never doubted that he more than reciprocated this partiality. It had, therefore, been a decided surprise when her father received a letter from Valdane, saying that he could not get away for the firsthand begging to be allowed' to leave the date of his arrive! tft Clarisdale uncertain for a few day*, The letter was cordiality itself, but tt left Mildred sore and wounded. She was astonished to find how keen was her disappointment, and how flat and dull the first had seemed, without his accustomed presence. That evening her father took her aside. "Mildred," he said, "do you remember that young Bulling who was at Oriel with Laurie—that very handsome young fellow who was so attentive to ns whem we went up to Commemoration? Would you believe it—through the feats of an old woman—h*i godmother— no relation at all, tfciy say— he has Just come into a fortune of— what do you think? Twenty thousand a year! All the papers are full of it. Now Mildred, my darling, every girl of your acquaintance will be after that young man. But if you gave your mind to It I am sure you could—eh? Think, my p?t, what it would be Uxr us all! Twenty thousand a year! And what's your beauty for, Millie,, if not to draw you a prize—eh?" Had such a course of action been proposed two days earlier it would have met with his daughter's unqualified disapprova,l but at that moment her one desire was to punish Valdane, so she only smiled her slow, sweet smile and asked: "Is he coming here?" "This evening, my darling." "I remember," said Mildred, "that he was very handsome." "He was—and most aTsttnguTsherTlooking. What will you wear tonight, Millie?" asked Lord Umfravills casually, Inwardly rejoicing at bis success. "Leave that to me," Mildred answered calmly. "I will wean—you will see what;" and her father left her with a blissful feeling that all was going just as he wished. When Bernard arrived that evening, Lady Mildred received him alone-. Itwas chilly and she had a fire kindled in the drawing-room. She sat on a very low chair, a red glow over her crimson draperies and golden hair. She greeted the young man with a pretty mixture of cordiality and shyness. She made him sit opposite to her in a chair which was the ideal of comfort, and apologized prettily for the fact that none of the men were in yet, and all the girls were dressing. She gave him a cup sf tea from a tiny table near, and insisted that he was hungry after his long journey, and must eat some tea-cake, which she lifted from the marble fender with a dainty pink handkerchief between her delicate hands and the hot porcelain. There was no light save from a branded cluster of wax candles on the tea table and the v/arm glow of the fire. The corners of the tastefully furnished room were in darkness. Bernard began to realize what life might be, now that whatever he longed for was within his reach. In his house—the great house he meant to buy—he thought his drawing-room should be just like this. The man looked at Lady Mildred—at her perfect toilette, her delicate skin, the turn of her hea<l, and thought how excellently she fitted in her surroundings. She was beginning her work well. Only her motive was not Xp win Bernard, but to inflict pain on the recusant Valdane, when he should arrive. 1,30 0 SOLDIERS Ara Guarding Property mud Bapyr—wf«s* Blot* During tti* Cleveland Hlrilt*. About M°U troops are now acting in co-operation with the regular force of Cleveland, under direction of U)g mayor and the head of military power of tbe state in preserving order anA protecting the property of tbe Btreft railway company. Although the cars are run at regular intervals it i» •> noticeable fact.„that most of them are either empty or carry very few passengers. The company has announced that they will take back 150 of the old men, provided they would apply individually. The men insist that every man must be taken back, and above all, that the union must be recognized by the company. It is estimated that the company is losing thousands of dollars every day and will sooner cr later concede the demands of the strikers. 70 Entombed But Only Four Killed. An explosion of gas and firedamp occurred in the mine of the Redstone Coal, Oil & Gas Co., at Grindstone, five miles from Brownsville, lJa., on the 24th, in which 70 men were entombed. The explosion was so fjreat that eight men who had just descended into tbe shaft were knocked down and seriously injured. All escaped, however, but a boy named Salomon, who had an ugly c:tt across the throat, but who went back, refusing to leave the mine until his father and brother could be gotten out. The mine is operated by a shaft, and there is no other way of escape for the entombed miners. There was intense excitement about the mine, and the wails of the wires* mothers and children who surrounded the mouth of the pit were frightful to hear. The total list of dead and injured number but four. Wife Murderer Dies In Ja.IL. Adolph L.

Warner and (TMalley held a postmortem examination, disclosing" the fact that Luetgert died from fatty degeneration of the heart. ; CHAPTER X. On this warm afternoon, as she lay in the hammock, she was thinking it all over and wondei -tig where Valdaae w&£, %n4 what or who was keeping him from her. She was thinking, too, of the opea admiration in Bernard's fine eyes the nigk; before as he leaned over her piano. No doobt he *as handsome. She thought she could win him;.would it not be madness—utter madness—to let him go tor the sake of a man who had never in so many words told her that luf loved her, and whom, if she married at all, she would have to marry without her father's consent? A too*3te$> brushed on the grass. Lady Mildred half rose. Bernard was there, lookhyg admiringly down at her. "Mr. Stelling! I thought you were shooting." "I was, bet when I fonnd the pleaic party had arrived without you, I gave them the cUp, and meanly sneaked home through the woods, hoping to have the Itiek to discover your retreat. Fortune favors the brave, they say. I would not have missed a sight of you here for worlds!" "Mr. Stelling! It was very foolish of you to lose all tbe sport." "So long as you don't add that it's very ilnpertfne*.t of me to intrude I'm content! Your pose is really perfect. I used to be able to sketch a little.

A proverb is compact wisdom, knowledge in chunk's, a library in a sentence, the electricity of many clouds discharged in one bolt, a rlVer put through a mill race. When Christ quotes the proverb of the text, he means to eet forth the ludicrous behavior of those who make a great bJuster aiiout small sins and have no appreciation of great ones. In my text, a small Insect and a large quadruped are brought into comparison— a gnat and a camel. You have in museum or on the desert seen the latter, a great awkward, sprawling creature, with back two stories high, and stomach having a collection of reservoirs for desert travel, an animal" forbidden to the Jews as food, and in many literatures entitled "the ship of the desert." The gnat spoken of in the text, is in the grub form. It is born in pool or pond, after a few weeks becomes a chrysalis, and then after a few days becomes the gnat as we recognise it. But the insert spoken of in the text is in its very smallest shape, and it yet inhabits the water—for my text is a misprint and ought to read "strain out a gnat." My text shows you the prince of Inconsistencies. A man after long observation has formed tie—suspicion that in a cup of water he is about to drink, there is a grub or the grandparent of a gnat. He goes and gets a sieve or strainer. He takes the waier and pours it through the sieve in the broad light. He says, "I would rather do anything almost than drink this water until this larva be extirpated." This water is brought under inquisition. The experiment is successful. The water rushes through the sieve, and leaves against the side of the sieve the grub or gnat. Then the man carefuny removes the insect and drinks the water in placidity. But gqing out one day, and hungry, he devours a "ship of the desert," the. camel, which tke Jews were forbidden to eat. The gastronomer has no compunctions of conscience. He suffers from no indigestion. He puts the lower jaw under the camel's forefoot, and his upper jaw over the hump of the camel's back, an4 gives-tme swirtttw "ffntTTlfedrom^ edary disappears forever. He strained out a gnat, he swallowed a camel. While Christ's audience was yet smiling at the appositeness and wjt'of his illustration—for smile they did, unless they were too stupid to understand the hyperbole—Christ practically said to them, "That Is you." Punctiliousr about small things; reckless about affairs of great magnitude. No subject ever winced under a surgeon's knife more bitterly than did the Pharisees under Christ's scalpel of truth. As an anatomist will take a human body to pieces, and put the pieces- under a microscope for examination, so Christ finds his way to the heart of the dead Pharisee, and cuts it out, and puts it under the glass of inspection for all generations to examine. Those Pharisees thought that Christ would flatter them and compliment them, aad how they must have.writhed under the redhot words as he said: 'Ye fools, ye whited sepulchres, ye blind guides, which strain oat a gnat and swallow a camel." There are in our day a great many gnats strained out and a great many camels swallowed, and it is the object of this sermon to sketch a few persons who are expensively engaged in that business. . - . . . • First, I remark, that all those ministers of the Gospel who are very scrupulous about the conventionalities of religion, but put no particular stress upon matters of vast importance, are photographed in . the text. Church cervices ought to be grave and solemn. There is no room for frivolity in rtaigious convocation. But there are illustrations, and there are hyperboles like that of Christ in the text, that will irradiate with smiles any intelligent audience. There are men like those,blind guides of the text, who advocate only those things in religious service which draw the corners of the mouth down, and denounce all those things whicn have a tendency to draw the corners of the mouth up, and these men will go to installations and to presbyteries and to conferences and to associations, their pockets full of fine sieves to strain out the gnats, while1 In their own churches at home every Sunday there are fifty people sound asleep. They make their churches a great dormitory; and their somniferous sermons are a cradle, and the drawled-out hymns a lullaby, while some wakeful soul in a pew with her fan keeps the flies off unsonscious persons approximate. Now, I say it Is worse to sleep in church than plies at least attention, while the former implies the Indifferences of the hearers and the stupidity of the speaker. In old age, or from physical infirmity; or from long watctlng with the nick, drowrines* will sometimes overpower one; but when u miuis.t£r at Ike Gospel looks off upon an audience, and finds healthy and intelligent . people struggling with drowsiness. It is time for him to give out the doxology, or pronounce the benediction. The great fault of church services today, U not too much vivacity, but too much somnolence. The one is an irritating gnat that may be easily strained out; the other is a great, sprawling and sleepyeyed camel of the dry desert In all our Sabbath schools, in all our Bible classes, in all our pulpits we need to brighten up our religious message with such Christ-like vivacity as we find in Uxa text I take down from my library the biographies of ministers, and writers of. the past ages, inspired 'and uninspired, who have done the most to bring-BOU4S to Jesus Christ, *nd I find, that without a single exception, they consecrated their wit and their humor to Christ. Elijah used it when he advised the Baalites, as they could not make their god respond, to call louder as their god might be sound asleep, or gone a-hunting. Job. used it when he said to his self-conceited comforters: "Wisdom will die with you." Christ npt only used it in the text, but when He ironically complimented the corrupt Pharisees, saying, "The whole need not a physician," and when, by one Herod, saying: "Go ye, and tell that fox." Matthew Henry's commentaries from the first page to the last corruscated with humor, as summer ctoud3 with heat lightning. John Bunyan's writings are as full of humor, as they are of saving truth, and there is not an aged man here who has ever read Pilgrim's Progress, who does not remember, that while reading it, be smiled as often as he wept. Chrysostom, George Herbert, Robert South, George Whitefield, Jeremy Taylor, Rowland Hill, Ashael Nettleton. Charles G. Finney, and all the men of the past who greatly advanced the kingdom of God consecrated their wit and their humor to the cause of Christ. So it has been in all the ages, and I say to all our young theological students, sharpen your wits until they are as keen as scimetars, and then take them into this holy war. It Is a very Ehort bridge between a smile and a tear, a suspension bridge from eye to lip. and it is soon crossed over, and a smile is sometimes just as sacred as a tear. There is as much religion, and I think a little more, in a'spring morning than in starless midnight. Religious work without any humor or wit in it. is a banquet with a side of^teef/ and that raw, and no condlm.ents,^n,d,. no de_ss_ert succjredjng. People w111 not; sit down to such a banquet. By aU means remove all frivolity, and all bathos, and' all llghtness,..ari<J vulgarity— strain them out rnroujifh the sieve of holy discrimination hut dS\ the other hand, beware o^. tjfcat miHl^er which overshadows the Christian church today, converitfonallty, coming up from the Great Sfehanu Desert of EcclesiaEtici^aj,,having on its tatjgk, a hump of sanctimonious gloom, and hemeutly refuse to swallow that Oh, how jpatficular a >. great jinany people arp about the; infinitesimals; while they arejquite reckless about the magnitudes. :What did Christ say? Did he not, excoriate thp peopje.Jn his time who were'fca careful to wash t'heir hands before a meal, but did not wasa their hearts? It Is a bad thing to have unclean hands; it. is a worjp thing to have an unclean heart. How many people there are in our time who ai<e very anxious that after their death they shall be buried with their face upward the east, and not at all anxlou3 that during their whole life they should face in the right direction, so that they shall come op in the resur* rection of the Just, whichever way they are buried; How many there are chiefly anxious that a mfnister of the Gospel shall come in the line of apostolic succession, not caring so much whether he comes from Apostle Paul or Apostle Judas. They have a way of measuring a gnat until it la larger than a camel. Described in the text are all those who are particular never to break the law of grammar, and who want all their language an elegant specimen of syntax, straining out all the inaccuracies of speech with a fine sieve of literary criticism, while through their conversation go slander and innuendo and profanity and falsehood larger than a whole caravan of camels, when they might better fracture every law of the language and shock their intellectual taste, and better ict every verb seek in vain for its nominative, and every noun for its government, and let every preposition lose its way in the sentence, and adjectivea and participles and pronouns get Into a grand riot worthy of the fourth ward *bf <New York on election 6*y, than to commit a moral inaccuracy. Better swallow a thousand gnats than one camel.' Such persons are also described fn the text who are Very much alarmed about the sofall faults of others, and 1s not unrlenn. If there- fo not something WFong about tUe other man. They are always the first to hear ol anything wrong. Vultures are always the first to smell carrion. They are self-appointed detectives. I lay this down a? a rul« without *ny e^xcepUgn that those .people who have the most faults themselvea an* the moat mer<iless in thelt watching of others. From scalp of head to sole of foot they are full of jealousies and hypercritlcismi. They spend their life in hunting lor musk rats and mud turtle*. Instead of hunting for Rocky Mountain eagles, always for something mean Instead qf something grand. They look at thfiir neighbors' imperfections through a microscope, and look at their own imperfections through, a telescope upaWo down. Twenty faults of their own do not hurt the:u so much as pne fault of somebody else. Their neighbors' imperfections are Jlke gnats and they strain them out; their own imperfflctians are like camels and they swallow them. But lest too many might think they escape the scrutiny of the, text, I have to tell you that we all come undor the divine satire when we make the questions of time more prominent than the questions of eternity. Come, now, let us all. gpJnto the confessional. Are not all tempted to make the question, Where shall I live now, greater than the question, Where shall I live forever? How shall I get more dollars here? greater than the question, How shall I lay up treasures in heaven? the question. How shall I pay my debts to man greater than the question, How shall I meet my obligations to God? the question, How shall I gain the world? greater than Ihe question, What if I lose my soul? the question, Why did God let sin come into the world? greater than the question, How shall I get it extirpated from my nature? the question, What shall I do with the twenty or forty or seventy years of my sublunar existence? greater than the question. What shall I do with the millions of cycles of my post terrestrial existence? Time, how small it Is! Eternity, how vast it is! The former more insignificant in comparison with the latter than a gnat is insignificant when compared with a oamel. We dodged the text. We said, "That does not mean me, arid that does not mean me," and iwith- a ruinous, benevolence we are giving the whoja sermon away. '• '' . But let us all surrender to tttt charge.

To make {he stream capable of floating logs It was dammed below and the ^acting o t Wue water* wa3 of great damage *ndt annoyance to Mrs. De Camp.

The constitutionality of this law was promptly attacked by Mrs. De Camp and the Coltrt of Appeals has sustained her contention. The decision halts lumbermen in their campaign of destruction against the Adirondack forests. The decision declares unconstitutional every law making Adirondack streams public highways for the floating of logs. It protects the forests by prohibiting the lumbermen from trampling all rights under foot in the pursuit of the logging business, It saves the streams for the fishermen and puts an end to the destruction, of forests caused by damming streams It. is jhe most important aid to Joreat preservation that has been received for years.

Two men stood before a picture In a shabby little studio. MVaa," exclaimed the taller of the t\76, who alsr> seemed to be the elder) "tKIs is unworthy of your brdshV* 'He'examined tttc pWture again and EiW emphatically:' uH's a dattb! Why, it looks like you'd thrown your brush at the canvas and let the paint stay where it spattered. No, you need not try to stop me, for I'm going to finish. I repeat It, your picture is a mere daub; Van, yon'r* equal to far better work, and I eaa't tee you turn out such things, even for potboilers, without protest.'* "Well, Fottescne," drawled Van, if you're through, allow me to say that the picture you revile sc» unmercifully is the'work of my sister, who is at the present moment standing behind you. Allbw me to present you. Florence, Mr. Fortescue. My sister, Miss Van, who has come to stay with me, Fortescue." Then, smiling a little maliciously, Van vanished, and the two, so inauspie- iously introduced, were left alone. Miss Florence, a decided blonde, whose short, curly hair and petite figure made h«r look v«ry- youtag, recovered her composure first. "So you utterly condemn my poor attempt, Mr. Fortescue?" she said, gently. "I was a brute!" he exclaimed, impetuously. "Pray forget my rude criticism. You know I thought it was Van's, and—and " he ended helplessly. "And the faults, being mine," said Miss Florence, with a little laugh, "are not so glaring. "Fie; Mr. Fbfteff-" cue, has art two standards—one for men and another for women? No, I fear my picture is as hopeless as you made it out, and that I can never hope to make my living by painting." "You may improve with practice, or, if you find that portraits or landscapes are beyond you, there are lota of things you can employ your brush upon—fancy fol de rols for women s i, Which were close by. Fonescc* seemed to be a3 happy-go-lucky la his manner of living as the Vans, sometimes painting feverishly for days together, only to draw tlie brush over the canvas and obliterate the Imagfcs tie had created, because they did not come up to his ideal. Occasionally he would boast of selling a picture, and then would Invite his two friends over to an impromptu fete, only to be roundly scolded uy Miss Florence for his extravagance. "But I am not entirely, dependent upon my work;1 he declared, protestingry, after sueh a scolding one day, "and as for extravagance, you axe not the one to talk. How often have I seen you empty your purse, Lady Bountiful, among the little avenue waifs?" "Mistaken identity," said Miss Florence, coolly; "I'm not the only woman with short, light curls In the city." "The only one In the world to ine," murmured Fortpjcue, softly, so that only she could hear; and there and then, as Van conveniently removed himself to a far-off easel, in a few earnest, manly words, Fortescue Hsked her to be his wife. "If you will only marry me, Florence, dearest, you will be a constant inspiration to me in my work. I believe I could paint a great picture with you for my beautiful model." "If I thought that, I really believe," said she, slowly and solemnly, "I would almost be willing to poarry you. r e - sides, as the wife of the rising young artist, John Fortescue,I would not have to paint 4fol de rols for ladies' dresses, Christmas cards, and all that, you know,' for my living." Then she burst into such a peal of silvery laughter that Van; In his distant corner, turned to stare at her. , "Florence Van Middlesworth, you're a frand!" said her lover, eyeing her with an attempt at severity. "John Fortescue Holliday, you're another!" returned Miss Florence, trying to evade his arm, which would slip around her waist. "How long have you known?" he demanded. "00 YOU THINK A P 0 0 £ PAINTING DOBS HARM?" toilet tables, Christmas cards, and that sort of thing, you know." "Do you think a poor painting does harm?" she asked, curiously. "Xes, indeed," he replied, quickly, forgetting the personal nature of the question; "it does harm to the painter, who lowers his art, and to those who gaze on it as well." "Well, Mr. Fortescue, I will never ue guilty of lowering my art again," she said. "And lest this poor picture do any one barm, I will send it to the Home for the Blind, to be used as a fire screen." Fortescue, almost confident that she was laughing at him, looked up sharply, but her innocent blue eye* were raised to his so confidingly that he thought he must be mistaken. Then, dropping the subject of the condemned picture, she began to talk so entertainingly of. experiences in Paris studios, with which Fortescue was also, familiar, that when Van returned he found the pair he had expected to sc#; at daggers' points chat* ng like two* old friends. Fortescue etayed to tea that night, & little bohemian meal, served in u e .u,d}o, at which Misa, Florence presided with much graqe. . • i t was the first oi many, suctU.meal* • which he topic .with., them., som* times giving a little feast In his own apart- "Well," replied his prisoner, "the very day after I met you first, I had a letter from Cousin Fan warning ma to be on the lookout for an Impostor named John Fortescue Holliday, a man of artistic temperament, who played bohemian three months out of the year in some obscure quarter of the city. A rank impostor, she called you. Perhaps she kindly enlightened you also in regard to me?" Holliday laughed a laugh of Intense delight as he answered: "No; my informant was a very charming old gentleman whom I met in Paris just before returning here. He told me he had a son and daughter, who, had absurd fits of unconventionally, which impelled them to leave a home of luxury, and go to live in stuffy apartments, there, to study human nature, and to paint, great pictures, which nobody ever saw. He advised me, if I ever encountered these two characters* to avoid them., as, they, were undoubtedly mad. ^Vrb,en I first met Van I ^aw a resemblance to ills, father and when I had the happiness of meeting you I knew that I had found the mad.pair.",,:.., "That's 'just iik« papa!" declar**. FloreiMp, .laughing uajtil the tears cam«. .".But- on his account I f,ear I most refuse ycur offer, because with three such ir.ad people in his family, he ^Kuelf might also become mad." But the old gentleman must have been -wrlHfcg to run the risk, for six months later the marriage took place. A CLEVER G*RL. ' IIow She Fooied the Other Olrla Neatly •ud Completely. The girl of my heart came home to attend a cousin's wedding on Thursday of last Week and she stayed In town for two days before going back to school for the commencement which will make her a sophomore, says the Washington Post. It wouldn't be fair to tell the name of her school, but it's an excellent one, where the fashions of the men's college are followed, even to the possession of a college yell and thepracticing of hazing. The girl of my heart was hazed last fall. She did not faint when thegirlstouched her arm with a bit of ice and said they were branding her with an iron. She endured every ordeal so smilingly that the girls at last determined to do something perfectly dreadful. They marched her through darfc halls, blindfolded as she was, opened a closet door in the physical laboratory, snatched the Bandage from her eyes, pushed her in, locked the door and left her shrieking in the arm3 of a skeleton. Now, a skeleton to her is no more terrifying than a hoopskirt, but she saw an opportunity to amuse herself. She is one of the cleverest amateur actresses Washington possesses. She let down her hair and tangled it about her face. Her gown was an old one., so she sacrificed it and tore it to tatters. Then she waited. Presently she heard the girls returning. She began to croon softly to~herseTT a~welrd song. The g;rls opened the door. She took no-notice of them, but went on lavishing kisses on the grinning skull, laugh- Ing idiotically to herself the while. Finally one of them whiskered: "Girls, she's raving mad." That was the cue for the girl of my heart. She raved; she tore her hair; she. shrieked when they tried to draw her away from the skeleton; she laughed; she flung herself about, and finally danced out into the outer room, moaning in a bloodcurdling way. The girls dared not even brenthe. They were ghastly. THey clung to each other ani shuddered. The girl of my heart danced to the door, caught up a knife from a table, waved it with a h'deous scream and sprang at them. Then, as ihij huddled toget-bor in a perfect agony of fright, she dropped the knife and opened the door. "Weil, giris," she said,, drawlingly, "I hope you've enjoyed the fun; I'm sure I have." Then Ehe disappeared, and a dozen crestfallen girls, too frightened to dare to go.into hysterics, too much relieved to be angry, stole quietly away. 1 ..ey are clever girls at that college, but the girl of my heart is bell wetber of the floek.

The genera), in a white hat, was marching in advance of tue firing line, when the discharge of a rifle was heard ip, the yard of a house next to the road. Several soldiers rushed into the yard, but not In time to prevent two more shots, which came whizzing in the direction of the general. At this moment I came to a break In the hedge, where I could see what was going on. A young Filipino was about' thirty yards oft He was turning this way and that like ah animal i t bay, thoroughly frightened. He had a rifle in his hand. It afterward turned, ..out,-thai 'th-is rifle was. choked. The soldiers were break- Ing down the high hedge to get in. Suddenly the Filipino made a run for life. He £ot through the hedge some way and dashed across an open lot Three shots followed, all of which took effect. The wounded man turned, ran sideways-a few*paces, lay down on the ground, and a second after was dead. I got a good sight of the whole incident, and eo naturally did the FillpDab flWetbH himself along the ground and rest hi9 head upon his arm that I thought he was shamming. An examination a minute later proved that he was dead. There is this difference between the manner in which American and Filipino soldiers die—the American falls in a heap and dies hard; the Filipino stretches himself out, and when dead Is always found in some easy attitude, generally with his head on his arms. They die the way a wild anlmaL di«*—in just sach a position as one finds a deer or an antelope which one was shot in the wood.—Harper's Weekly.

Upon her urrival he then went to Chicago and the woman and her children were obliged to seek a home with her relatives. Occasionally the husband would send her 85. but the remittances were so far apart that the mother was unable to provide for herself and children on the small allowance and she decided to seek employment.

She returned to her children discouraged ai»d carried out her desperately plaaned resolution. She washed and dressed tht m and combed their hair with motherly affection, and then prepared herself for the end.

The body of Albert So ivies, of Galesburg, was found 11 jating in the Kalamazoo river half a mile east of the village on July 31sL Ilis wheel stood against a tree on the bank, his hat resting on the saddle. With the exception of the hat the body was fully dressed, lie was known to be an expert swimmer, but the body was not in a cramped position.

It is said he tried to patch up the quarrel, and failing to do so, decided to end his life. A Pig an a Aeronaut.

A dispatch from Home nays that Hicciotti (.iaribaldi, son. of the liberator, discussing the likelihood of a Republican government for Italy, has caused great excitement at the Vatican, and tnucti annoyed the cardinals belonging to the group which has not abandoned all hope of reconciliation with the monarchy. A member of the Sacred college, who belongs neither to this nor to the opposing faction, and who was formerly nuncio in a great capital, and is thoroughly familiar with the complications and difficulties of the diplomatic position of the papacy, gave his opinion on the question raised by the interview. "With the exception of a few narrow-minded men," he said, "everyone among the- higher Italian clergy is convinced that the temporal power, such as it existed before 1870, has had its day, and that an absolute restoration of tiie status quo would be a calamity for the church of Rome. What was possible 30 years ago is impossible now. People are accustomed to lay institutions which imply many things incompatible with a clerical government.

The navy department has rendered a decision construing the eight-hour Jaw that will be of importance to all labor interests as well as to government contractors. The commandant of the Washington navy yard recently asked authority from the department to permit the contractor, who i,s building the new gunboats in the yard, to employ his wordmen 10 hours per day. Inasmuch as- the conditions reported are such- as mnst have been foreseen when the contract wa» made and are such as necessarily exist to a greater j * degree whenever work of the j character referred to is in progress, the department is of %be opinion that the ca*>e cannot be regarded as one of extraordinary era-ergeney. l a cases of this character it would appear that if the public property cannot be sufficiently protected from damage otherwise, the proper remedy would be to employ a tore© of men in relays by which means- the work cotrld 4x» «*• pedited much more effectively, — DfenLriurtlvc Hall Storm.

Ova. and Sin, A leer Recclvw • Glorlon* Weli'owt to Their lluiuw. The home-coming of den. ami Mrs. 11. A. Alger was buoyant beneath the unqualified spontaneity of the greeting given the honored tnan and woman as they left the cars at the Michigan Central station on tho afternoon of Aug. & They were literally "at home" and from the festoons of bunting in the station, the "Welcome Home" in purple and white flowers, the men, women and children that li<»ed the platform and corridors of the great building and along the line of march, there was generated an unmistakable spirit of affectionate regard and loyal enthusiasm such as must have found its way to the hearts of the distinguished guests. In front of the- oity hall, which was prettily decorated and illuminated, a large reviewing stood had been erected where the welcoming addresses by Mayor Maybury in behalf of the city and Gov. Pingree iu behalf of the state were made. The mayor confined himself to the* home-coming of the general and the' picasuro it gave him to be able to assure Mr. Alger that he was received at his home with the sum a confidence, affection and esteem that has been with him all the years of his life. Gov. Pingree in his speech took occasion to censure the President for his treatment of the general and said that the people of Michigan regarded the affair as a state insult. Senator Mc- Millan came in for his share of criticism at the hands of the governor. The 10,000 listeners endorsed the governor's sentiments by hearty applause at intervals during his speech. M r. Alger responded to the welcoming speeches in a few words, but his utterances expressed emotions of gratitude ' t:or—h4s royal welcome home. Gen. Alger's speech in full was as follows: "Mr. Mayor and Governor, and my fellowcitizens—I have no words, I can command no language to express the emotions of my heart and my gratitude to you for this royal welcome to my home. I am glad from the bottom of my heart to be released from official care and to again enter the old home and live among the people of Michigan. Since I went away, two and one-half years ago, as you know, the country has been through a terrific struggle. The office of which I was the head was taxed to the utmost of every man's strength « ho occupied any position in it. I gave my best thought and honest effort, and did everj'thing I could to carry out my part of that great work. What haB been done is a matter of record, and 1 am perfectly willing to re*t the case with my countrymen. Every transaction, every order, aud everything that was done in conducting that war is a matter of record, and the people have a right to have that record searched. And now, my fellowdUwtyi, I eomeirome witbotrt a-grtevaoee. During that struggle and while that gTcat work was upon me I cau truthfully say that I had from the President all the support that he could give. We went through that struggle mbd eame out victorious. We transported^ across the seas more t h a n 150,- 000 men, one way and the vther, without an accident. We fought battles in Manila, in the Philippines, in Cuba and Porto ltieo, and we never lost a battle, a eoior, a prisoner or a gun. Wherever the American flu>g was planted by the American soldier, there it stands a»d there it shall stand forever. ltEt>t, as J said, I have no speech to make. 1 am glad to be nmong you again, a prfva*e citizen, and that I can travel these streets and mest you in social ami business intercourse as of ©Id, and I propose'to stay here the baiauce of my life. Goodnight.'' JlnrW Town A I—out Wiped Out. The town of Carrabelle, a prosperous port o* the Gulf of Mexico, southwest of Tallahassee, Fla^, is reported almost completely destroyed by a terrific wind &»di rain storm which passed through that section on Aug. 2d. Many boats, whieh were in the harbor, have been wrecked and most of the long wbarf is gone, together with large quantities of naval stores. At Lanark, the boat houses, pavilion and boats have been destroyed. The turpentine interests in this section are greatly damaged and much damage had been done to crops. Tornado ViMted New Jeraey. A tornado with a velocity of 80 miles and a width of three blocks, passed through Elizabeth, N. J., on Aug 2d, doing damage conservatively estimated at 8*5,000.

IhirSng the balloon ascension at Fremont, O.. on the 3d, by Aeronaut Harry Davis, of Delphos, thousands witnessed a thrilling- sight not down on the program. Guy ropes holding the balloon became entangled about the arm of 8- year-old Lester Miller, just as the balloon shot up in the air, carrying the boy with it, suspended by one arm and shouting" for help. The balloonist did not notice his companion until they were fully 1,000 feet in the air. He immediately cut the parachute loose, which changed the balloon's course, and fortunately all reached the ground alive, but the balloonist was more or less injured and the boy's arm . was displaced. More Dynamite Used by Strikers. The withdrawal of several companies, of troops from Cleveland, svas followed! by another dynamiting outrage on theevening of Aug. 3d, but fortunately no. one was hurt. The explosion occurred, under a Jennings avenue car, on which, there were six passengers. It sm&slfced the flange of one of tike wheels and, splintered the running board at the side. The passengers were badly frightened, but noee- were injiured, and the ear proceeded on its \»ay tothe end of the run. Camden. Hillstiale Co., now beasts of three telephone exchanges.

Simeon Walker sat on the top rail of the^fence. He bad stopped there in the act of getting over. His rubberbooted legs were tired, so he reste4 and roosted there. The snow was a foot deep on Che level, and in places It was over the •tone walls. Simeon's tracks trailed off across the field behind him. He had come that way because U was nearer, but when he had gone half the distance he regretted It, aad was tempted to retrace his steps and go by the road. After standing still and reflecting for some little time; he had decided to continue. When he reached the fence he was glad he had taken the field, otherwise there would have been no excuse for resting on the top rail a£ the fence. He had a shovel with him and was going a mile up the road to help dig out a drifted place. Simeon sat on the fence till he began to be a little chilly; whereupon he concluded that he was rested .enough, and Jumped down on the other side, into the road. He had covered nearly half the distance to the place wjiere he was to work, when he stopped suddenly in front of the schoolhause. "Time-nation!" be ejaculated under his breath. He was staring at a woman who was making strenuous efforts to dig a path up to the scboolhouse door. As she paused a moment for breath she caught sight of Shneun. If he had caught her stealing hte chickens she could hardly have looked more frightened and guilty. "Oh!" she pantefl, '1 thought I could get it done before any one saw me." "Keziah Tbatcber," 'he said, solemnly, "I thought you had more sense." He took the shovel from her. It was a small fire-shovel. He looked at it scornfully, tossed It :tnto a convenient bank and set to work with hfs own. "Don't some -of the big boys dig the paths for youT* he aslced. sternly. "Yes," she remarked, "but they are always so late, and then the fire does Hot get to going and the little children suffer and ta"ke en Id." Simeon smiled grimly as he thought that, at the rate she was going, she and ieposlted his burden inside the entry. •There!" he said. "Now you caa tiart the fire while I finish the path." It took but a short time to ftniab that path, for Simeon worked as he had never worked before. He smiles* as he looked up and saw the smoke ascending from the chimney. When he went Into the schoolroom, after stamping the snow off his boots, he found that Keiiah'a fire was a roaring success. But perhaps neither, the heat of the flre nor the previous cold quite accounted for the bright color in Keziah's cheeks. Simeon glanced around the room. •"It looks natural,1' he said, "but awful «raalL I don't believe I've been here since I went to'school, but you've spent a good part of the time here since then. My! that fire feels good,". He drew two chairs up to the stove and after Keziah had taken one he seated himself in the other. "Isn't this cozy!" he said, in a tone of satisfaction. "I was on my way to Benson's Corner to shovel, snow; but I guess the enow will keep and It isn't often I get a chance to speak to you. Why, how long is it since we were allowed to see each other " "I don't know." Keziah's eyes wera cast down. "It is some years. I don't know what Cynthia would say if she . " She paused abruptly. Simeon smiled good-humoredly. "I know that sister of yours doesn't approve of me, but that's no excuse for her holding over you the way she does." "Oh, Cynthia has BO much more sense than I have," Keziah murmured, deprecatlngly. Simeon looked at her quizzically. "I suppose she has told you that so often that you have got so you believe It. But I don't believe it." There was an awkward pause. Keziah looked at -the clock and halflonged for, half-dreaded, the arrival of the first scholar. Simeon frowned at the stove, and wished he knew how to say what he wanted to say. At last he cleared his throat. , "Keziah. let us have one good, long talk together. We may never have another chance, and there are some things I'd like to know about. Will you tell me the real reason why we WALKED THROUGH THE SNOW. would not have s«t (the -schoolroom much warmer than if fihe ihad left the work to the boys. "And besides," Keeiafc continued, apologetically, "I dida'i Ju>ow it was so drifted." Something in her twice made Simeon turn and look at her "You are cold," t e said, gently. "What have, you got on your feet? Whew! Nothing but rubbers." He looked dubiously across the drifted yard to the schoolhoua* door. Then his fae« cleared. "Where-ts Ue key?" he asked. • ••"••'•• •••••" Keztah felt In her poeiwt wad drew It out. He took It and without * word turned and began plowing slowly through the snow. When he reached the door he unlocked It and opened it wide, then returned to K«siafc w*o WJU watching Dim wonderlnglf- ."Now," he said, as he readied her, "I am going to carry you to that door." "Oh, no. please don't! I can wait til! the path is made, perfectly welL I'm not very cold, truly I'm not. "I am going to carry jrwt.** aaid flimeon. and there was a strang* note of command In hit voice. "Put your Mtm around my n«ck—so. There, now X can carry you eatUy." "Oh, Mr. Walker! I wish ah« protested, feebly. thrSolouwghly thaea md ocwar,e frueallcyh ehd jth« §tep§ didn't get married that time—fifteen years ago, wasn't it? Was one-reason Cynthia?" She nodded. "Well, I thought. What were the others? I know you told me at that time, but somehow they didn't seem like reasons you would give." "There weren't any other—besides Cynthia." "She must have told you things about me. I wonder what they were?" Keziah turned away her head. "She said that you were siilftless," she faltered, "and never would get on in the world.** He fnade a wry face. "And I suppose she has kept her eye on me, and has h«d the satisfaction of saying, 'I told you so,' every little while, and congratulating you on her gQod sense and your escape. Well, I guess she's right. I wouder if you cared?" "Yes, I did care," she said, almost vehemently. "I wanted you to succeed and justify mr opinion of you and when you didn't she woaid exult and sometimes I wanted to go away and never come back.** "I wish I had known—I wish I had known," was all Simeon said. She looked at him pityingly, then she laid her hand timidly on his aim. "You ksow it now," the said, gently. "It-ian't too late." He rose to his feet suddenly. "No." "it fan't too late and I'll justify your opinion of me yet. I will go now and shovel thf.t snow. Good-by. I'm glad J saw you." Ho grasped her hand so hard that she winced, then strode out of tbe room. She listened to his retreating footsteps, than turned ic her chair so that she could lay her arm on its back and bury her face in the crook of her elbow. In a moment she heard some one coming, and stood up hastily, giving quick dabs to her eyes with her handkerchief. "That anow will have to wait Just a little longer. Something more important comes first," sa4d Simeon, cominto the room. "Why, Keziah! you are not—— Why, what Is it dear?" for Keziah was crying softly In his arms. A little later, when they were more calm, Simeon said: "What I came back to say was this: I am going to get away from the pernicious influence of that lazy, good-for-nothing Sim Walker, and I thought it would be a grand, good idea if at the same timo you would break *way from the pernicious influence of Miss Cynthia Thatcher." Keziah's eyes sparkled. "I will do it," she .said, and there was that In her look which told that she had at last freed herself from the domination of her sister. There were other things that had to be said and by that time the fire had gone out and the room gTOwn cold. "Why, whore are the scholars?" cried Keziah, when she saw that It was 10 o'clock. "They must have stayed at home on account of the anow." So they left tbe schoolhouse together and Keziah walked slowly home, dreading her interview with Cynthia, while Simeon, with his shovel over his shoulder, went briskly in the other direction. he aaidf la a voice that startled her, IMITATIVE FILIPINOS. Said to Exceed All Otber People in Imitation. Of all the races peopling this mundane sphere not one has such an extraordinary spirit of imitation as that which Inhabits the Philippine islands, according to the new American paper, Manila Freedom. This race of people, of Malay origin, which occupies all the archipelago of the Celebes sea, lacks entirely the esthetic taste necessary for the proper combination of colors, constructive ability, uniformity in architectural designs, and the good taste which is required for the culture and advancement of a people. They have no ideas of this kind, and in all matters of taste do nothing more than what they see in races of the West. Any one who has observed the Filipinos will have noticed that they have no ideas at all in regard to the proper comhinallon of colors in their wear- Ing apparel, as, in spite of their dusky complexions, they select in their clothing the colors which are least suitable to them. You will see Indian girls and half-breeds as brown as berries using in their dresses and scarfs such colors as blue, green, yellow, brown and black. A woman of dusky complexion with a dress of any of these colors presents an appearance that is -iiideowt-ln-t Ue-extreme; It- ts~not Tincommon to eee dark-skinned Indian girls dressed in such bright greens that If they should encounter a cariboo they are liable to be eaten by that festive animal on account of their similarity to bunches of hay. The reason why these people cut this ridiculous figure Is that they see these bright colors on European women, and, without thinking of the effect which, on account of their different complexion, such hues are liable to produce, readily adopt them and consider themselves the most elegant of the elegant. No sooner does a new fashion arrive from Paris, Vienna or Berlin in shoes, trousers, hats, shirts or neckwear, no matter how extravagant, the Indian and the half-breed immediately adopt them. The American troops had been in Manila only a few days with their brown suits before the stores on tbe Escolta were besieged by natives and half-breeds buying all the brown cloth obtainable, wool, cotton or silk, and In a few days they were all arrayed in suits of the same color as those worn by the army of occupation. They noticed the hats of straw or felt with a blue poJka dot band, and in a few days all the Indians and half-breeds were wearing the same kind of hats as the Americans. I believe that the Americans will have but little trouble in Introducing here their usages, customs and language, as to that end the spirit of imitation which predominates in the native race will be a powerful factor. WAR NOTES, A hot fight took place at Calamba on July 30th. The insurgents were unwilling to abandon the place, which i» the key to the lake road. Uen. Hall, hearing that Gen. Malbar was preparing to make an attack, sent Maj. We is* enberger with three companies of the i 2l8tinfantry, three troops of cavalry, : and one of Hamilton's guns, to attack the insurgents. This detachment found a force of 1,009 rebels behind hastily made intrenchments. The rebels held their fire until the contingent of the ytst regiment was within 300 yards, when they fired a volley. The Americans dropped in the high grass out of sight and returned the fire. Finally tlie Americans succeeded in repulsing the enemy with a loss of seven killed and 20 wounded. Sixteen dead insurgents w^re found as the troops ! advanced. f : A Cuban committee has started out j with the intention of giving1 the na^- i tives free instruction on certain points. The members of the committee say a definite form of government for the island will soon be determined upon, and they urge every citizen to at least learn to write, pointing out that there is no question now of fighting for independence, but that every man must say clearly what he wishes in regard to the future of the island, adding that they will only have themselves to blame if, on account of apathy, they have to confess they are incapable of their own social and political regeneration. A mass meeting was held at Havana on July 30th under the auspices of the Sociedad Democratico, a brand of the Cuban National Society of Independence. A procession paraded the streets for two hours, headed by a band and bearing banners with the inscription, "Cuba is and by right ought to be free" and "Peace work."

LIVIHGSwTOmN m cms Met a t Howell S a t u r d a y a n d D i s c u s s e d Many Q u e s t i o n s of I n t e r e s t . A Good A t t e n d a n c e a n d an E n t h u s i a s t i c Meeting* On Saturday last the Livingston County Association of Farmer's Clubs held a meeting at the court'*1 house in Howell which, considering the stormy day, was well attended and all present were much interested in the topics under discussion. Promptly at 10:30 the president, Miss Helen Norton, called the meeting to order anl after the opening exercises took up the first paper, ''The Roundup at Pontiac." Mr. Bump being absent on account of poor health, Miss Norton read the paper he had which was very interesting. One or' the main features of the paper was the one bearing on crimson clover for the bringing up of land that has been run down. H. E. Read in discussing the topic, also spoke much in favor of that kind of clover. It is not as large as other clovers, but grows thicker on the ground, is more hardy, furnishesbetterprotection and more fertilizer. The next paper "Tax Payers and Higher Education." by Hon. Wm. Ball. He presumed the question had to do with the taxes to carry on the state schools and would handle it in that line. While taxes might be somewhat excessive he would not cripple the state institutions by cutting off their appropriations. The local and county affairs should be reformed, also the legislature. Elect men for legislature who will do more than run back and forth from Lansing to their homes, or go on junkets all over the state, the state paying their expenses and six cents per mile for traveling while the railroads furnish free passes. Economy and business principles should prevail in the state government and certainly should in the_town__and_county_t EaimerV All doctor* told Remok Hamilton of Wsit Jefferson, O., after suffering 18 months from Rectal Fistula, he would die unices a costly operation WM preformed; but he cured himself with fift-faoiras of BobkUn'g araiet' •alt* to« rarest pile cure on earth and the beet sal re in the world; 25c a box tad If you want ail the new* subscribe for the DISPATCH. Clubs and Institutes should be a great factor to bring about reform in these matters. The time was when the scythe, cradle, hand rake etc. were all right, but who would say they would do today; the time was when three or four months schooling at a country school was enough, but today we must have "a higher education to keejf up" with the times. The farmers sons and daughters should have the best schooling that can be afforded. The common school scarcely tits one for life— just gives the foundation—we must have a higher education to till the places ot trust today. We are passing through great changes and must be prepared to meet them. Too many legislators go to the halls without fit educations, only to be led by the crafty, well educated lobbists. MR. REED—I believe in higher education in the home as well as in the government. The best is none to good for anyone. MR. MUNBOX—The state does not educate the men, but makes a place where they can educate themselves at little cost. Whatever we do let us not cripple our state institutions of learning. MRS. R. SMITH—believed in higher education, but higher education in life.K. SMITH—Oar common schools should oe better, and any who wanted higher education let them go to private schools that are not kept up by the taxes of the people. • Miss NORTON—One of the troubles of our education is, that the father, mother and school board are ignorant ot what means are used to teach, They should be more interested in the educational affairs and visit their schools and colleges more. Am in favor of direct taxation for higher education. C. M. WOOD—was proud of the place onr state occupies in educational circles. The taxes of the wealthy go ot help educate the poor. P, W. ALI^SOV—One trouble is, too many-of ttre -professors of our state institutions receive big wages and pay very small taxes. They own no homes of their own and but very little taxable property. Believed in higher education however. AFTERNOON SESSION. The afternoon session was opened by a solo by Mr. Hosley then the paper ''Trusts," by W, H. Sayles. He did not know but be might be called a "calamity howler" but there never was a time when the rich were so rich or the farmer bad a harder time to make a living than today. If trusts continued to increase in tbe future as in tbe past the time will come when ene man can touch tbe button and stay the wheels of manufacture, throwing thousands of laborers out of employment. It seems like treason to us when we think that tbe founders of this government fought eight years to free us from the tyranny of the old country, while today we have not the staminy to put hown trusts and monopoly which are sapping the life of the free institutions of our nation. Let us get outside of party lines and work for the welfare of our country. HON. C. M. WOOD—I admit that the farmer occupies an unenviable position, but the country was never in a more prosperous condition financially. The question was warmly discussed by Messrs Ball, Clementg, Smith and others hut most of the discussion was in accordance with what Miss Norton said in closing: "I am called upun .0 decide but will say_thatjye _mi_£ht_debate this question for all time, but we must discriminate between "trusts' and ''organized capital." I do not favor trusts but we must have organized capital/' Hon. F. W. Allison read a paper on •'Direct Legislation," which was excellent and drew out considerable discussion, the general trend of which was in favor of direct legislation. The question box contained a number of interesting questions that were discussed but owing to the lateness of the hour were necessarily hurried. Altogether, tbe meeting was a success and all felt well paid for being present.. The Appetite af a Costt is envied by all poor dyspeptics whose stomach and liver are out of order.

Those who commit this offense would get the stripes if some people had their way. It is suspected that certain con- .pressmen would look upon that plan for an American Ufonte Carlo thirty miles from Washington as a capital thing—capital capital. The freak pounded to death In a moment of rage by a South Dakota showman may have been half human as claimed, but no one will argue that for the brutal wretch who killed It. Tod Sloan paid $1,000 for the privilege of cracking that waiter over the head with a champagne bottle. In the future Tod will probably confine hirnself to the pastime of cracking cold bottles. ! As between short skirts and clean streets the Women's «lub of Baltimore has decided in favor of the latter. The wearing of long skirts on the streets by women Is a material addition to the city's sweeping forces, therefore the action of the Baltimore women is thoroughly consistent. — T h e inoular commission in declaring that Porto Rico and the Philippines are not legally American territories, look at the coarseness of the fabric! See that spot on the collar! Besides that, it does not fit! Twenty dollars for that? Why, It Is not worth more than ten. They have a better article than that, and for lower price, down at Clothem, Fitem & Brother's. Besides that, I don't want It at any price. Good morning." "Hold," said the merchant; "do not go off that way. I want to sell you that coat I have some payments to make and I want the money. Comer-now.-how much wilt you give for that coat?" "Well," said the customer, "I will split the difference. You asked twenty dollars, and I said ten. Now, I will give you fifteen." "Well," said the merchant, "it is a great sacrifice, but take it at that price." Then the customer with a roll under his arm started to go out &X.1 enter his own place of business, and Solomon in disguise followed him. He heard the customer as he unrolled the coat say: "Boys, I have made a great bargain. How much do you guess I gave for that coat?" "Well," said one, wishing to compliment his enterprise, "you gave thirty dollars for it." Another says, "I should think you got It cheap if you gave twenty-five dollars." "No," said the buyer.

The French bureau of agriculture •hows in a recent report that Spain is more entitled to be called "sunny" than is Italy. About three thousand hours of sunshine btess Spain each year, while Italy is favored wilS several hundred fewer hours of the sweetness and light in which Spain rejoices.

"It is naught, it is naught, eaith the buyer, but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth." There are no higher style3 of men In all the world than those U"Jw at the head of the mercantile enterprises in the great cities Oi! this continent. Their casual promise is as good as a bond with piles of collaterals. Their reputation for integrity is as well established as that of Petrarch residing in the family of Cardinal Colonna. It is related that when there was great disturbance in the family, the cardinal called all his people together, and put them under oath to tell the truth, except Petrarch; when he came up to swear, the cardinal put awcy his book and said: "As for you Petrarch, your word is sufficient." Never since the world stood have there been so many merchants whose transactions can stand the test of the ten commandwho was under sentence of. m e n t 8 - S u c n bargain-makers are all released on ball, showed up t h « m o r « * b e l^ored, because they have withstood, yea? lifter year, temptations which have flung so many flat, cording to Choctaw law, while a Chi-1 " d ^ n g them so hard they can never cago politician, out under $15,000'.recover themselves.

The chart obtained reveals the existence of three residual magnetic north poles and three south poles. The atroogett of the north poles is situated to the east ot Patagonia, the others being i s China and the United State*. The strongest residual south pole it in t h e French Congo, and the other* are An the Bering Sea and near Tasmania. The ttott Important result obtained it the determination that this distribution* of the magnetic Irregularities has t o n e connection with the jfctributk* of temperature. aee " " l i o o d s the abnormal I uid ti to evtf! there are spetfftV forms oT allurement which are peculiar to each occupation and profession, and it will be useful to speak of the peouliar temptations of business First, af In the seen* of the text, business men are often tempted to lacraflce plain truth, the seller by exaggerating the value of the goods, and the buyer by depreciating them., We cannot but admire an expert salesman,. See how he first induces the customer Into a mood favorable to the proper consideration of the value of the goods. He shows himself to be an honest and frank salesman. How carefully the lights are arranged untit they fall jusi right upon the fabric! Beginning with goods of medium quality, he gradually advances towards those of more thorough make and of more attractive pattern. How he watehes the moods an* whims of his customer! With what perfect calmness he takes the order, and bows the purchaser from hit pretence, who goes away having made up hit mind that he has bought the goodj at a price which will allow him a living margin when he again sells them. TAJ .••*• worth what the •ealesnun they were, and were told at a price vhloa will not make it necessary for the house cu r»u «j««ry ten years in order to fix up thin?* But with what burning indignation we think of the iniquitous stratagems by which goods are sometimes disposed of. A glance at the morning papers slows the arrival at one of our hotels of a young merchant from one of the inland cities. He Is a comparative stranger in the great city, and, of course, he must be shown around, and it will be the duty of some of our enterprising houses to escort him. He is a large purchaser and has plenty of time and money, and it will pay to be very attentive. The evening is spent at a place of doubtful amusement. Then they go back to the hotel. Having just come to town, they must, of course, drink. A friend from the same mercantile establishment drops in, &nd usage and generosity suggest that they must drink. Business prospects are talked over, and the stranger is warned against certain dilapidated mercantile establishments that are about to fail, and for such kindness and magnanimity of caution against the dishonesty of other business houses, of course it is expected they will—and so they do—take a drink. Other merchants lodging in adjoining rooms find it hard to sleep for the clatter of decanters, and the coarse carousal of these "hail fellows well met" waxes louder. But they sit not all night at the wine cup. They must see the sights. They stagger forth with flushed cheeks and eyes bloodshot. The outer gates of hell open to let in the victims. The wings of lost souls flit among the lights, and the steps of the carousers sound with the rumbling thunders of the lost. Farewell to the sanctities of home! Could mother, sister, father, slumbering in thejnlandhome, injjome vision of that night catch a glimpse of the ruin wrought, they would rend out their hair by the roots and bite the tongue till the blood spurted, shrieking out: "God save him!" What suppose you, will come upon such business establishments? and there are hundreds of them in the cities. They may boast of fabulous sales, and they may have an unpre- i cedented run of buyers, and the name of the house may be a terror to all rivals, and from this thrifty root there may spring up branch house3 in other cities, and all the partners of the firm may move into their mansions and drive their full-blooded span, and the families may sweep the street with the most elegant apparel that human art ever wove, or earthly magnificence ever achieved. But a curse is gathering surely for those men, and if it does not seite hold of the pillars and in one wild ruin bring down the temple of coTrimprclal gloryT-U-w444—break—upth. elr peace, and they will tremble with sickness and bloat with dis2ipations, and, pushed to the precipice of this life, they will try to hold back and cry for help, but no help will come; and they will c'utch their gold to take It along with them, but it will be snatch* ed from their grasp, and a voice will sound through their soul, "Not a farthing, thou beggared spirit!" And the Judgment will come and they will stand aghast before it, and all the business iniquities of a lifetime will gather around them, saying, "Do you remember this?" and "Do you remember that?" And clerks that they compolled to dishonesty, and runners and draymen and bookkeepers who saw behind the scenes, will bear testimony to their nefarious deeds, and some virtuous soul that onee stood aghast at the splendor and potter of these business men will say, "Alas! this is all that Is left of that great firm that occupied a bloclc with their merchandise and overshadowed the city with their influence, and raade righteousness and truth and purity fall under the galling fire of avarice and crime." While we admire and approve of all acuteness and tact In the sale of goods, wa must condemn any process by which a fabric or product is represented as possessing a value which It really does not have. Nothing but sheer falsehood can represent as perfection boots that rip, silks that speedily lose their lustre, calicoes that immediately wash oat, stoves that crack under the first hot fire, books insecurely bound, carpets that unravel, old furniture rejuvenated with putty and glue, and sold as having been recently manufactured, gold watches made out of brass, barrels of fruit, the biggest apples on the top, wine adulterated with strychnine, hosiery poorly woven, cloths of domestic manufacture shining with foreign labels, imported goods represented as rare and hard to get, because foreign exchange is so high, rolled out on the counter with matchless display. Imported indeed! but from the factory in the next ctreet. A' pattern already unfashionable and unsalable palmed~oif as a new print upon some country merchant who has come to town to make his first purchase of drygoods and going home with a large stock of goods warranted to keep. Again business men are often tempted to let their calling interfere with the interests of the soul. Ood sends men into the business world to get educated, Just as boys are sent to school and colleger prosperity. the oienonesiy of otn«?a, blank suspension, are bu. different leasoat ia the school. The leon* business the more mesas of greets £tany have gtfts through wildest panics unhurt. "Are you no» afraid, you w.111 breakt- said sojse o*» to a merchant in tiae ofv great ettanaftreial excitement. He replied, "Aye, I shall oxeak when the fiftieth psalm breaks, iay-the fifteenth verse, 'call upon me in the day of trouble and I will deliver thee.'" The store and the counting house have developed some of tue most stalwart characters. Perhaps originally they had but little sprightliness and force, but two or three hard business thumps woke them up from their lethargy, and there came a thorough development in their hearts of all that was good and holy and energetic and tremendous, and they have become the front men in Christ's army, as well as lighthouses in the great world of traffic. But business has been perpetual depletion to many a man. It first pulled out cf him all benevolence, next all amiability, next all religious aspirations, next all conscience, and though he entered his vocation with large heart and noble character, he goes out of it a skeleton enough to scare a ghost. . Men appreciate the importance of having a good business stand, a store on the right side of the street, or in the right block. Yet every place of business is a good stand for spiritual culture. God's angels hover over the world of traffic to sustain and build up those who are trying to do their duty. Tomorrow if in your place of worldly engagement you will listen for it, you may heard a sound louder than the rattle of drays and the shuflle of feet and the chink of the dollars stealing 4nto your-SQuL saying; "Seek ym first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all other things shall be added unto you." Yet some of those sharpest at a bargain are cheated out of their immortal blessedness by stratagems more palpable than any "dropgame" of the street. They make investments In things, everlastingly below par. They put their valuable in a safe not flre-proof. They give full credit to Influence that will not be able to pay one cent on the dollar. They plunge into a labyrinth from which no bankrupt law or "twothirds enactment" will ever extricate them. They take into their partnership the world, the flesh and the devil, and the enemy of all righteousness will boast through all ages that the man who in all his business life could not be outwitted, at last tumbled Into spiritual defalcation, and iras swindled out of heaven. Perhaps some of you saw the flre In New YOTfc~tTiHtS31): A~ged men teTPus" that it beggared all description. Some stood on the housetops of Brooklyn and looked at the red ruin that swept down the streets and threatened to obliterate the metropolis. But the commercial world will yet be startled by a greater conflagration, ovtn the last one. Bills of exchange, policies of lnsurance, mortgages and bonds and government securities, will be con* sumed in one lick of the flame. The Bourse and the United States mint will turn to ashes. Gold will run molten in.o the dust of the street. Exchanges and granite blocks of merchandise will fall with a crash that will make the earth tremble. The flashings of the great light will show the righteous the way to their thrones. Their best treasures ia heaven, they will go up1 and take possession of them. The toils, of business life, which racked their brains and rasped their nerves for so many years, will have forever ceased, "There the wicked cease from troubling ind the weary are at rest." OUR BUDGET OF FUN. What S> Modat Vivendi Is. There are a great many people who would not k^ow a modus Vivendi, at least under iaat name, if they met one on the roafi, or sat opposite one at a table. Yet, it is something that is indispensable in every family, not to mention the family of nations. Freely translated, a modus vivendi is a plan of getting along together without fighting. In the case of family jars it is sometimes established by husband and wife not speaking to each other, but sending indirect messages through the children, or through the servants when children are not available. "Emily, ascertain if your mother would like a piece of steak." "John, will'your father take cream with his raspberries?" Questions like these, though somewhat absurd, serve to establish a modus Vivendi in a family where the heads of it cannot agree upon a treaty of peace, and they prevent the scandal of a fight or a separation.

"It is growing cooler." he said at last. "Come down to the water and I will row you about." "It will remind me of Commemora- _tkin_L" she- said merrily, aa he helped lier out of the .hammock. "Your brother tells me that Mr, Martlneau, of the firm of Lerby '& ing a summer afternoon than sculling idly in the shade! of the great trees, on the glassy surface of the water, with Lady Mildred's proud, sweet face before him, shaded by her wide-brimmed hat. A long silence fell upon both during the latter part of that row, and as they walked slowly home together under a saffron-colored evening aky they hardly spoke at all. Lady Mildred was thinking that her companion, with twenty thousand a year to back him, was more than endurable. Bernard was wishing that Marguerite could have the advantage of a few lessons in the art of dress from Lady Mildred. He wished so even more when her ladyship walked into the drawingroom some time later, her clear-cut face and pliant figure set off by amethyst- colored plush, which caught the light on all its rippling folds. She was conscious, as sue entered, that she was looking at that moment as beautiful as it was in her power to look, but nothing in her perfect manners betrayed the thought. She crossed the room slowly, purposely stopping on the way to replace some flowers which had fallen from a vase. As she turned again, her glance fell upon a gentleman who stood on the white Jurhearthrug, talking to her father. A sudden change passed over the face which before had been only beautiful. No other man ever carried himself with such careless grace as this man. As he stood, only the back of his head visible, she knew that it was Valdane; her breath came more quickly, her heart beat faster at the thought. She stood perfectly still, her eyes fixed upon him. Then he turned slowly roun_d, saw her, and at once came forward. She moved not an inch, but remained wliere she was, the brilliantly lighted room bringing out every point of her beauty. Their hands met, and in that moment she knew that he was changed. He looked ill and worn, but in her eyes a thousandfold more lovable. His greeting was cordial, but it lacked the delightful tone of mutual1 understanding. Almost in terror she scanned his for the wherefore, but found it not. "I did not know that you had come," she said. MOF COURSE YOU MAY HAVE SOME." Martlneau, is your cousin, Lady Mildred," he remarked* aa they "Walked together thfdu|*r*%^j}arlfc.4<H|ke water.

I shall be .glad to meet him." * "I can't fancy Valdane a solicitor," •she said, laughing. "He is so essentially a society man." Bernard saw that he had started an unwelcome topic. He adroitly changed the subject. The water was the great featur* of the Clarisdale estate. It was a Beautiful irregular-shaped lake, with ' a «mall island in the middle, much' usett for picnics. Bernard thought there "I arrived two or three hours ago. They told me you were somewhere in the grounds, so I went to look for you—as far as the lake-side. Then I came back; you were being well entertained and did not want me." Lady Mildred's ebbing spirits came rushing back in swift flow. She thought she had a key now to his cold greeting and worn appearance. It was love of her, she thought, which was telling upon him; she had accomplished her object, she had made Valdane Jealous. • CHAPTER XI. Bernard Selwyn had persuaded the doctor and hit family to •go to the seaside. It was a treat which they hdd never before enjoyed, and great was their delight at the prospect. The doctor, to whom a holiday had hitherto meant no more than the space of time between Friday and- Tuesday, now another doctor to do hit for bin* and prepared for a couple of months' relaxation. Th*f were very happy. Bernard, they all tgreed. had behaved remarkably well; he had shown such thought and consideration. He was net. at all unduly elated aC his prosper^* v, *nd had done just the right thing in naking no radical chunge until the will was proved and the tedious law business complete But when the cottag* at bournemouth had been taken, the **»*ins looked out, and the day of departure fixed, Marguerite electrified them all by gently refusing to go. "I have no right to a farthing of Bernard's money," she said, "and I should not feel happy, thank you." "But, but, my dear," spluttered the good doctor, "that's false delicacy, you know—that's straining a point! You surely may accept favors from the man THE HEAVIEST B. & O. TRAIN. When the receivers of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad began the now famous series of improvements of the physical condition of the entire system, their object was to increase both the train load and the number of revenue tons per mile and at the same time reduce the cost of transportation. Much has been done, and by the lowering of grades, elimination of curves, laying of new steel rails and the purchase of heavy motive power they have very materially added to the number of cars per train. But it was not until the 17th of March last that a demonstration was made of what might be expected of the new Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Enough new 50-ton capacity steel cars had been delivered to give the operating department a chance to experiment. Fifty steel cars, each weighing 34,000 pounds, were loaded with an average of 98,000 pounds of you are engaged to." "Bernard and I are not engaged," she returned with Quiet persistence; then, after a short pause, "nor ever shall be," she added. "We shall see what Bernard wiTl say to that," said Mary. "He is the only person that can manage you, Marguerite." Marguerite smiled. "We won't discuss it," she said steadily. "Only I am not going to Bournemouth." There wa3 no shaking her decision. Her will was indomitable, and unconsciously she influenced all. Witn quiet tact she persuaded them all to start without her, and lived on by herself in the dull, close London house, looking eagerly each day fev a possible answer to the advertisement which Bernard had inserted in West of England new3paper3. Had Valdane Martineau know» of that advertisement it would have occasioned h4m some uneasiness. A rather strange thing had occurred on the morning the day after he paid his visit to the Stellings' house. A box of exquisite, cut, hot-house flowers had arrived for Miss Lilbourne. No message or card accompanied them, and Marguerite wa3 thoroughly mystified. Mary thought that Bernard had sent them, but, on being written to on the subject, he was obliged to jdiscls-im any knowledge of them. Each day arrived a fresh selection of choice and delicate blossoms; they were brought by a man from a floral depot, who knew nothing of the person who had ordered them or anything about k. Marguerite loved flowers and, left alone in her glory, she grew to hail the daily arrival of the fragrant treasures. One flay, soon after she was 1 'ift i alone, Mr. Martineau called. His ostensible reason was to say that he was going to Clarisdale the next day, and coal. To them was coupled a new 22x28 inch consolidation locomotive weighing 168,700 pounds and having 54 inch driving wheels. The start was made from Cumberland, Md., and the destination was Brunswick, Md., on the second division. In his report General Superintendent Fitzgerald says the train was pulled with comparative ease and that the class of engines used will be able to handle 50 cars of 50 tons capacity each on that division without trouble. Hitherto the train load on that division has been 325 units of 6% tons each or about 2,200 tons, a 40 per cent increase over that of five years ago. The 50 car train was computed as containing 497 units, or 6,458,- 100 pounds gross. The net weight of coal in the train was 4,758,100 pounds. It was by far the heaviest train ever handled over the line and demonstrated that heavy power, modern equipment with safety appliances, and a the ! g o o d track, mean more revenue tons per mile and a decreased cost of transportation.

She thought it was very kind of him to take so much trouble, and thanked him warmly. He stayed a long tine, and ?&e gave him tea in the drawingroom, which was almost full of those lovely flowers. He bent to smell one of a bunch of tea-rosebuds, and rem'arked that they were very fine for London. Hereupon she innocently revealed the fact that she did not know who had sent them. "But it is some one who is very kind," she said—"some one who knows what flowers are to Londoners. Each morning I am always afraid it will be the last tiirro. I think I shall cry when they leave <*ff coming." "The sender would feel more than repaid if he or she could but see how the gift is appreciated," returned Valdane gravely. "You are fond of flowers, too," said Marguerite, "I knew you were by the way you noticed these ^vlien you came in. Won't you have a rosebud? I have so many, a,nd I don't want to be selfish, you know." "Will you really give me one of your flowers?" "Of course—any you choose." "If I rvlght choose, I would as* for one of those." He pointed to a vase full of marguerites. "Those—they have no scent." "They are my favorite flowers," "Of course you may have some." She selected three of the pale starry flowers, with a piece of maiden-hair, and dexterously made up a button-hole for him. He took it with a very low and quiet "Thank you,"' and, having no longer an excuse to linger, rose to take leave. (To be continued.) Mrs. Col. Richardson BYMRS.

Marie, has arrived home from the Klondike. The party left the Soo a year ago last April. They failed to locate a claim in the vicinity of Rampart City, but secured five claims in the Cape Nome district, which the captain believes will turn out well. The captain speaks in very disparaging terms of the Yukon country and claims that it is nothing but a gigantic fraud bootmd for the transportation companies, nnil the suiisidizi-d press of SeaMle. A man is foolish to leave any kind of a petition to go there and a poor man has ;io business there under any circumstances. Not one out of 5,000 ever strikes anything there. There are over 3.003 people at St. Uichaels unable to get out of the country for lack erf means to pay their transportation, and much suffering1 must eibue. When he left St. Michaels there were 0 > river boats, costing1 from •5U to $10,000, which could be bought ior a song1. Many of these were tteachei) and left to rot. Mr. Hiirsley's experience in the Klondike cost him about £\jjK)0. _ _ _ __ C r i p I l u l l e l l n . Tin1 weekly en>p bulletin, issued by the .Mulligan weather bureau, says that frequent showers have continued to interfere with haying in the upper peninsula, but otherwise the weather conditions of the past week have been generally favorable for harvest work and crop growth. Wheat and rye harvest is about completed in the most northerly counties, while thrashing has been general in all parts of the lower peninsula. With favorable condition the oat harvest has progressed rapidly, and in the four southern tiers of counties the crop is nearly all cut and mostly seeured; thrashing returns show that the oat crop is generally good. Corn has made good progress and is earing nicely; it is silking ns far north as Emmet and Leelanau counties. Late potatoes and beans have ulso made good progress and are in a more promising condition. Sugar beets are growing nicely, except in a few of the m >re northerly counties. Light scattered showers which have fallen in the lower peninsula have been verj' beneficial, but inoi\) rain is needed for pastures and for fall plowing ou clay ground. Kail plowing is general in ihe southern counties and just beginning in the central and northern countie*. The condition of apple trees at present indicates a light and rather poor crop; apples have been dropping badly, while those remaining on the trees are rather poor and scabby. T h e Liik.1 SHI tM-ior mines are now employing l'.i.O )i) men against 14,000 at the same time last year. About L',000 could be used. Lubor is very Struck the Wrong Place. One of tho two burglars who have been operating- in Mt. Clemens and vicinity for the past six weeks, has been put ou' of business temporarily if not permanently, Early on the morning1 of Any. Sth. Soiomon Widrig. a farmer living-in Chesterfield township, about four miles fn m Mt. Clemens, heard two nun working at the front door of ' his ivsiilenee. Widrig quietly slipped out of bed and secured his gun. Then he located himself in the middle of the hall, a^ the door opened in. and awaited developements. As soon as the door opened and a man appeared WidHg lired. The man gave a frightful yell, turned, and tied, assisted by his companion. Widrig made no at- ! tempt to follow tin* men or h're again. The WMiild-li'.' burglars left a bloody trail for so me distance. _ _Laml OtlU-r Disposed of 3O..JH7 Acres. During the iiscal year elulTni^T 30 the state land office disposed of ^fl.'Jfc7 acres of land as follows: Agricultural college land, K\.V.»7.70 acres: primary school land, 17,(i.~>.J.SS acres: swamp land, H.^O'.UO acres; patented homesteads. H3i>.05 acres. Of these '»ands over1 l'.'.OOO acres of hind were -sold to parties interested in copper mining. The :W.:.\S7 acres of land were -sold for$170,8].").iS:s, of which SiGo,.r)S7.;"» has been riceived, 85,228.28 remaining unpaid. The sales of land during the year have been the largest in the history of the department, the demand for hard wood and mining lands being •chiefly responsible for the increase. «>ld Ordnance Stores Won't be Accepted. In spite of Gov, Pingree's protest to the effect that Michigan would not accept old ordnance stores from the'general government in place of new supplier furnished the soldiers, a carload of old blankets, canteen traps, etc., has been received at Lansing from the Rock Island arsenal. The goods were probably shipped before the governor telegraphed his protest, but they will not be touched by the state military authorities until the general government consents to take back the material which the state refuses to accept. . Four More Keroitkue Victims. In tive days eight persons in the citj* of Detroit have been burned by the careless vise of kerosine or gasoline. The latest victims are Mrs. Catherine C/aja and her 17-months-old' baby and Mrs. Augusta Knitter and her unborn abe, wh.o_were fright Hilly burned on Aug. Sth and died later at the hospital". | As a result of the above casualities the I oth'cers caused-an analysis of the oil to ; be made, with the result that it was ; found to contain gasoline. It was cer- | tainly a terrible blunder on .the part of some one who may have been criminally careless. The police are investigating. HeM Tp, KobbtMl and Carved. Peter Cool, a Mendon butcher, who peddles tne:it in NoKawa and Wasepi, was held up about one mile north of Nottawa and robbed by two men on the '.ith. who used knives in forcing their victim to give up his money. As Cool was passing a strip of woods, two men rushed out. one of them grabbing the horse and the other pulling him out of the meat wagon. Cool fought hard, but was no match for the two men, who used knives as persuaders and carved Mr. Cool .quite badly be fore he surrendered. Collision on the Detroit River. A little after midnight on Aug. 5th as the car ferry Laiwlowne, which is used by the (Jrand Trunk line in transferring cars between Detroit and \Vindsor. was backing out of the slip on the American hide, the steam barge W. ]$. Morley collided with her. It was a head-on collision on the part of the Morley as she struck the ferry squarely in the center of the two tracks laid ;>n each side of the deck, penetrating the Lansdowne for 11 feet. Both boats were sunk, but fortunately no lives were lost. Can Hold Two OfBctg. Pingree has been informed by Attorney-General Oren that the appointment of Harlow P. Pavoek as referee in bankruptcy did not create a vacancy on the Detroit board of health, of which Mr. Davock is a member. The attorney-general has furnished the governor with a long opinion on the subject in response to an inquiry made July 31. The qualifications of a member of the Detroit board of health are that he shall be an elector and free holder in the city, and it follows that Davock is qualified. m Burglars Tblrd Attempt 8occe«sfaL For the third tinre in the history of the institution burglars trisd to break into the Colo ma bank at an early hour on Aug. 8th.

Workmen in a Bancroft lumber yard while moving a pile of lumber on the 10th made a remarkable discovery. Between two piles of lumber lay a sack and on investigating they found a newly-born dead babe. The men went to the office to report the same and while absent the same was taken away by some unknown party. Branch c6unty is having an epidemic of wife and family desertion on the part of worthless husbands. In the past month four men have been jailed on this charge, the last case bting that of Chas. Smead. He is one of the brothers, who, in the winter of 1896, deserted their young wives, leaving them each with a young babe and entirely destitute. Workmen on the new sewerage system at Marshall struck a heavy vein of limestone while excavating a ditch 14 feet deep on the property of the Folding Bath Tub Co. Civil Engineer Courtright says the rock will produce a very fine quality of lime. An analysis of the rock will be made* and if found in sufficient quantities another industry will be started there.

While the members of parliament and olticials present in the house of commons at the prorogation of parliament at London on the Oth, express hope of a peaceful settlement of the Transvaal ditti.ulties, it was evident that an uneasy apprehension was prevalent that an autumn sessiou might be necessary to vote war supplies. Mr. Chamberlain says: "We recognize the grievances of the outlandera and have said that these grievances are not merely themselves a serious cause for interposition, but are a source of danger tp the whole of South Africa. We say our pre. lominance is menaced by the action of the Tra ..sv^al in refusing to redress the grievances or give consideration to requests hitherto put in the most moderate language of a suzerain power. We say tlnu this state of things cannot be tolerated. Wje have put our hands to ttie plow and won't draw back. With that statement I propose to rest content." Have Tnkeu Up A rut*. Gens.

On the arrival of the artillery and the machine t>uns the Mexican general will close in on the luduinsand precipitate the biggest battle ever fought between the government and the Yaquis. The government now has nearly f>,000 men in the field. Business in Guaymajs and other points in southern Sonora is practically at a standstill in consequence of the rebellion. It has not entirely suspended the heavy freighting done with the Yaqui valley, but has led many Mexicans of the city to retreat beyond the prefect's call foe volunteers. Mast Fight In Case of War. The London Daily Mail published a dispatch from Johannesburg whieh says thai by.a special article added to the grondvvet (the constitution of Ihe Transvaal) the president is authorized, in the event of war, rebellion or other emergency, to proclaim martial law and to compelevery inhabitant of the republic to bear arms in its defense. The Petoria forts are bejiag strengthened and Boer agents are buying up all the available draught oxen in Cechuanaland, and a gloomy view of the whole situation/ is. taken by the residents. The "g^n^ral impression in Boer circles is that Mr. Chamberlain is forcing on a war, and that consequently it would be futile to make advances. Shot HI* Sweetheart and Himself. A double tragedy that seems to have been due to a lovers" quarrel occurred at Denver, CoL, on the 8th. Geo. Bond was found in the street with a bullet wound in his breast, and weak from loss of blood. Later the dead body of Goldie McConkey was found several blocks distant with two bullet wounds in her breast. Bond denies having killed his sweetheart and says someone unknown to him shot them both. Appearances indicate that the wounds were not inflicted by a person standing at any distance, for the clothing of Miss McConkey was burned with the fire from the revolver and the shirt on Bond's breast was scorched. Doable Murder and Bateld*. A triple tragedy, three miles east of Canton, O., on the 8th» resulted in, the death of Edward Eckinger, his wife and their 3-year-old daughter. Mrs. Eckinger evidently first shot her husband and daughter with a shotgun and then tried to commit suicide by gashing the veins in her Wrist with a knife. The latter, apparently, proved too slow or else too painful, for the woman put a third charge in the gum and sent it through her heart. The woman was 23 years old and her has* band 25. Domestic trouble* K M the eause. WAR NUT ££5, A special from Washington says Some uneasiness prevails in military circles as to the attitude of China toward the Filipinos, as the result of hei refusal to permit the shipment o< hor&of purchased by agents of Gen. Qtis to Manila, on the. ground that they are "contraband of wur."' While the Pekiu government has uot formally recognized the belligerency oi Aguin aldo and his followers, her announce* ment that horses are "contraband" U regarded as dangerously near sueto recognition. Otticials interpret he* action to mean that China holds that this government, instead o'f being engaged in the suppression of an insur* rection, is involved in a war, and that goods purchased by it in her empire for the use of the American army ie consequently contraband. This gov* ernment has taken no d iplouiatic notice of China's declaration. Aguinaldo has appealed to the powers for recognition of "Filipino independence," in a document dated from Tarlac, July 27, and signed by Buencamino. It has been received by all the foreign cousuls in Manila, with, the request that they forward it to their respective governments. The Filipinos use their old argument that they conquered the sovereignly of these islands from Spain before the signing of the treaty of Paris and, therefore, Spain was in no position to cede them to the United States. They argue that the possession of Spanish, prisoners captured with their arras,, fighting against the Filipinos, "ft eloquent proof of the nullity of Spanish sovereignty, as when they surrendered Spain's hold was irrevocably lostt." The steamer Saturn us, of the Compania Maritima, coasting under' the> American flag, was discovered, Aug. 2; by~tHe United States gunboat Painpan ga, beached at San Fernnndo, under the insurgent trenches there. Thesteamer was boarded by armed boat's, crew and the passengers were taken off. The cargo, consisting of general merchandise and 8100,000 in specie, had beem sacked. Several attempts to tow t h e Saturn us ofE were unsuccessful. T h e Pampanga then left Sao Fernando ir> search of further assistance, whereuponthe insurgents returned and set fire to the vessel and made her a total wreck. Mail reports received at the navy department show that Admiral Watson is using every means to check insur~ gent traffic between the islands of t h e Philippine group.. Commander Sperry, of the Yorktown. at Iloilo, reported t o Admiral Watson oarly in June that in his opinion the insurgent* were throwing troops into No.gms.and Lcyta from Luzon and Panay. Commander Sperry sent the gunboat Samar, under command of Ensign McKarland, to break up the traffic. In fo«r days--4te de-— stroyed 13 schooners aiong the coast of Panay. Each had a full cargo. In each case the natives were set ashore with their personal effects. The City of Pelting, which sailed from San Francisco^ for Hong Kong by way of Honolulu, and Yokohama, took among her cargo 3:.'l,440 pounds of shot, the first shipment of the kind ever made to Japen. In addition there were 107,050 po-unds of pig lead and 43,758 pounds- of sheet lead. Just to what use this wither unusual shipment is going to be put is not known, but suggestions- have been made that it may be intended to smuggle it into Manila for the use of Aguinaldo and his army. The financial statement for the island of Cuba, covering the first six months, of this 3'ear, show customs receipts, to the amount of almost 87,000,- 000, and expenses to the amount, of 85,500^000, leaving a good working'balanc* of more than 81,000,000. La Lucba, commenting upon this*, expressed the hope that the customs, and posts would be retained by the Americans in any event. 9,000,000 Bushels of Grata Rained. Two million bushels of wheat are estimated to have been lost \n a hail storm, which partially de&troyed the crop of nearly 250,000 acres of land in Minne3otaon the 10th.-' Farmers, who were busily engaged in the morning in cutting wheat, were driven to their barns for shelter and afterwards found it unnecessary to take the binders back to the fields, as the grain had been harvested by hail in a -few brief moments. The loss seems doubly severe from the fact that the harvest was progressing nicely, and from 15 to 20 per cent of the orop was cut. The anticipated large yields were instantly wiped out just as the grain was ripe and golden. Added to the great loss in this vicinity, another storm is reported at New Rockford, in Eddy county, where it is asserted from 25 to. 100 per cent of the crop of 40,000 acres of wheat was laid waste. The total loss will be over $1,000,000. Drejfu la Coort. The celebrated Dreyfus court-martial trial opened at Uennes, France, Aug. 7th. Every inch of space in the court room was filled a quarter of an hour before proceedings opened. Capt. Dreyfus answered the opening questions of the judge as to his name, age, etc, ia a clear* determined voice. As the trial proceeds Dreyfus, ahowa him* •elf very keen, of intellect, and: several times he has corrected the st*teanen6s a* to certain datti •'•»- .

It is the shado w of a fault committe d long ago." "And repente d of?" she asked shyly. "Heaven only knows how deeply!" "Ah, the n jt will be all right, " she asserted brightly, "if you are ready to atone! " "Ah," he pried pitiiully, "but suppose one can' t atone ? Tha t is th e hardes t lesson th e world teaches , Miss Lilb.ourne . It is so easy to wrong another , but so hard—so terribl y har d to • set th e wrong right again. " She .looked iit him earnestly . H^e was th e last man from whom she would have expecte d words like those . Proud, self-contained , a man of the world he had hithert o appeared ; yet, now it seemed as if he were asking her—little Marguerite—fo r pity and counsel . "Have you asked the person whom you wronged to forgive you?" she questione d with a certai n solemnity . "No, " way the almost inaudibl e reply. "Ah!" she said softly, "that' s what I would do ! Please don' t thin k me impertinent—. 1 know I am not at all competen t to advise you." "Tha t is what you would have me do?" he a.^ked. "You would have me say, 'I did you a grevious wrong—I appeared, holding her hands to her head. "What did that remind me of?" she said slowly. "Qh, what did it remind me of? I feel as though I had gone through a similar experience before. It seemed quite natural to be looking out of the window and waving my hand to him." She broke into a little laugh. "I think I must be losing my senses, but for the moment the impression was wonderfulyl strong." CHAPTE R XII. Two days later , on reachin g hom e after a walk, she was told tha t a woman was waitin g to see her. Imaginin g it to he a patien t com e for linimen t or cough-mixture , she went straight * int o th e dining-room , and was at onc e confronte d by a respectably- dresse d woman , evidentl y provincial . "There, " said th e woman triumph - antly , the instan t Marguerit e appeare d —"it's her—I knew it was. I knew I should know her first minut e I clappe d eyes to her face. Well, miss, you and me's met before, ain' t we?" "Have we?" said Marguerite . "Don' t you remembe r me, my.dear? " asked the woman , evidentl y disappointed . "No ; I don' t remembe r you at all." ''No t Mrs. Acland? " "No . Where do you come from, Mrs. Acland, please?" Marguerit e asked the questio n with a certain'vehemence , advancin g toward her visitor, and looking earnestl y at her face. "My stars—she don' t remembe r me!" said the woman again. "Why, my dear , 'tain' t four years ago since you saw me everv day of your life for six weeks." "Did I—did I?'

" cannot undo it now, but I repent. Forgive me!'" "Yes/' she. replied, with a nod of her pretty head. I would say that." 'Wnd suppose by that confession I lowered myself in the eyes of the person whom before all others in the world I desired to stand well with?" "J think," she answered shyiy, won- " ; derlng at the strange, intensity with -'" which be questioned her—"I think you would busve to bear that as a penance for jour fa* It." His atrange eyes looked down at her sweet, ingenuous face with a gaze she could not understand. "I shall think over your advice," he said earnestly, "and try to follow it. Will you give me your best wishes?" "Yes," she replied, her face suddenly flushing. He moved away from her— h« felt that his self-control was de- •ertin f him; he must go—and Instantly. "Goodby," he said hastily, unable to raise his eyes to her face. "I must tpologiM for—for staying so long." H« left the room abruptly, before •h * bad time to reply. Actuated by an Indescribable !miHilae,*he went to the window to see him paas. He glanced up, saw her. and raited hit hat with a sudden smile of pleasure, Indicating one fc**4 the marguerites Jn his h l dr*w back as h# 4isj "Torquay , my dear, to be sure. You j mean to say you've been and forgot ; that , too? " : "I've forgotte n everything, " replied J Marguerite , tremblin g with eagerness. "I've been very ill and forgotte n all sorts of things ; but I do believe you're t'je very person I've been wantin g so *ong. Tell me—who are you?" "The landlad y of 5, Ponsdo n Crescent , my dear, where your uncl e brough t you, four years ago com e November . Ah, my dear, I remembe r it all so well! A poor , nervou s thin g you were, startin g at every sound ; an d your uncl e seemed so har d on you, it went to my heart . It did. " Marguerit e sank int o a chair , he r | face turnin g so deadly-pal e tha t Mrs. I Acland though t she was going to faint . Hurryin g to th e sideboar d th e woman seized th e carafe of water and sprin - kled some on th e soft dark hair and cold forehead , "Thanks—thanks ; I am better, " said Marguerite , rallying—"much better, than k you. I can listen. It was too much for me, Just for a moment — the though t tha t I was to hear what I have longed and prayed to hear for so many months. Go on—tell me?" "You mean to say you hate forgot U all?" '•All-all ! I had brain fever." The woman glanced down at the girl's clasped hands. "So h« dlan' t marr y you, after she said, with some show of surprise . "Oh, begiu at the beginning!" said Marguerite , blushing. "Tell me all abou t it, T*lowa." "First , you must know, " began th e good woman , "tha t I always though t it wasn't all right, for thi s reason—that , thoug h the youn g man used to com e courtin g on the sly, when your uncl e was out , he used to write letter s to him, for I seen one myself, I did. I always misdoubte d tha t youn g man , thoug h you did set such store by him ; and I says to my cook, ae I remembe r very well, 'If any one' s being deceived, it's th e child herself, and no t her uncle,' I says. So, my dear , I kept the addres s of th e lette r I see, thinking , 'One day it'll come in useful.' And sure enoug h it did! But it was very strange . Her e was I never been out of Torqua y thi s twent y year, and just fixed in my min d t<v come up by the 'cursjon , when I set thi s in the papers.' She laid a slip of pape r before Marguerite , a copy of Bernard' s advertisement . "I allus guessed It had •oee n don e at St. Boniface, " she said in triumph ; "so when I see tha t ad-1 vertlsement , I says, There' s trouble , and I must speak up and tell what I know.' I won't den y tha t I always liked Mr. Phillips, " she adde d paren - thetically ; "and chiefly because you always cheere d up so when he come . So, when I see th e advertisement , I jusi ran up to St. Boniface ; and the clerk and me, we searche d the register. And here' s the copy of it, miss, as I brough t with me to make sure. " Marguerit e raised her eyes to the pape r an a looked . Ther e were th e two signatures , one unde r the other—'•Arthu r Phillip*, " "Marguerit e Lilbourne . Her hear t sank; she did no : remem - ber the nam e in the least. It touche d no chor d of memory . Till now she had cherishe d a vague idea tha t with the nam e of the man she had marrie d would come a flood of recollection . But DO ! "Arthu r Phillips—Arthu r Phillips, " she repeate d hopelessly; "I am certai n I never knew any one of tha t name. " She leane d her chin on her hand . The effort to remembe r was painfully intense . "Ther e was somebody, " nhe said slowly, "who used to—used to—at least, I used to look out ot th e window for him . I called him some name - not Arthur . A short name—somethin g like Phil ; but it wasn't Phil . I should know it if I hear d it, I think . Qh, don' t you .remembe r it? " she asked piteousl y of Mrs. Acland. The woman shook her head . "I don't, " she answered ; "but I do re- "lemljer you was so too k up with htm . But, bless you, Arthu r Phillip s worn' t his real name ! I seen tha t plain enoug h all th e time. " "No t his real name? " "No, my dear . He never marrie d you fcr no good—of tha t I'm sure! I ought never to 'a let you 'fi gone off with him. He come ami said your uncl e was ill, and he was to take you to him ; but, when he put you in th e c a - riage and drove off, my hear t misgave me, for I see ther e was anothe r man with him ; and I'm morall y pursuaded , my dear, tha t tha t othe r was Mr. Bran - don hisself all th e time—disguised,yo u know. I never seen you again, my dear , till thi s minute . But tna t afternoon , when Mr. Brando n cam e raging and shoutin g and wantin g to know where you was, I though t directl y tha t he was only puttin g it on, and knowed fast enoug h where you was all the time . Well, my dear, I s'pose if I'd 'a don e my duly I'd 'a gone to th e perlic?; but I am a poor wornan , with my living to get, and I don' t want no scandals abou t my house ; and then , you see, I hadn' t nothin g to say—no evidence , no r nothin g of tha t kind. So I just kep' quiet ; but it's bin on mjr min d ever since. " "Mrs. Acland," said Marguerite, solemnly., her hands clasped under her chin, "you say I was in your house six weeks, and that you saw me eyery day." "Yes, my dear." "Did it ever strike you that there was anything odd about me? Did it ever occur to you th&t I was out of my mind?" The woman's look of consternation was evidently genuine. No, she had never thought of that. "A poor little nervous thing," had been her idea, much cowed, subdued, and bullied-by an overbearing uncle. (To be continued.) IN HARD LUCK.

Uncivilized warfare continues in Kentucky's mountainous regions. . The mosquito never waits until the first of the month to send in his, little bill. Some men's idea of practicing economy is to preach it dally to their wives. When a man is hungry a rare steak is less desirable than one that is plentiful. It seems queer that there is a demand for dressed beef in warm weather. "All the Garment* Smell of Myrrh, and Aloes, «mt Ca»ala, Out of the Ivory r»Ucf»"-Ffom the Book of P*alm», Chapter &1, Verae 8. Ambassador Cambon is a living exemplification of the fact that the lot of the peacemaker is not always an unhappy one. The Michigan Supreme court has about completed the work pf annulling all the work completed by the legislature of that state. A special tax on bachelors has been voted by the diet of . Hesse. Despite the financial advantage, however, a man might marry in Hesse and repent at leisure. To prevent typhoid fever boll, the drinking water; to prevent dyspepsia drink the boiling water. It seems to be merely a matter of choice as well as of taste. Don't marry a girl with the expectation that her father will set you up in business. The father-in-law of today not only wants all he has, but lies awake nights scheming how to acquire more. A fruit novelty is reported from California. It is half lemon : and half orange, with the ishape of the lemon and thr color ci the orange, the juice having the fiavor of both. It is, of course, artificially produced. Heretofore the phantom lemon, which figures in picnic assets, has had the chief distinction as a lemon curiosity. The fruit world, it will be seen, shows a tendency to combination as well as the business world. When JamesRussell r^wasour ambassador to England, his visiting country-folk subjected him to no end of annoyance. "Persons whom I don't know," he said, "Introduce to me persons whom they don't know." A London correspondent of the New York Times enumerates some of the demands now made upon Mr. Choate. He is asked to procure tickets of admission to p.irliar/.riit and to public institutions; for presentations to the queen and introductions to notabilities;, for loans of money; for friendly mediation with a landlady who may have made an overcharge; and once, late at night, a man arrived at his door with bag and baggage, expecting to "put up," as he was a stranger in London! Spain smiles through her tears. Having no longer any distant islands to protect, she can get on very well without her lost navy. Having no insurrections to put down, she can reduce her army to the footing of a home police. The twenty millions paid her by the United States, and the four or five millions from Germany, may not go far toward paying her big debt; but "The jingling of the guinea helps the hurt that honor feels." Her homecoming soldiers are glad to exchange service in the tropics for work In the fields and mines, and only the goldlaced officers grieve for their lost opportunities of plunder. Her statesmen can now give undivided attention to those long-neglected problems of good administration and domestic development. In the Unfted States senate one man vn each side, a democrat and a republican, is selected by his party associates to arrange the pairs. Whenever the roll is to be called on any party Question, the absent democrats are paired against the absent republicans, and In case more of one party than of the other happen to be out of the «hamber, enough of those who are present refrain from voting to fill out the necessary pairs. Senator Paso of Florida has of late years represented the democrats in these arrangements. He has so often had to pair himself to make things come out right that it used to be said that he never cast a direct vote.. This was an exaggeration. Sometimes he voted, but more often when his name was called he rose to say, "Mr. President, I am paired with the senator from Dash. If he were present he would vote yea, and I should vote nay/' tne last part of t&e itatement varying, of course, according to (Copyright 1S99 by Loul3 Kiopsch.) Among the grand adornments of the city of Paris is the Church of Notre Dame, with its great towers and elaborate rose windows, and sculpturing of the last judgment, with the trumpeting angels and rising dead; its battlements of quatre-foll; its sacristy with ribbed ceiling and statues of saints. But there was nothing in all that building which more vividly appealed to my plain republican tastes than the costly vestments which lay in oaken pressesrobes that had been embroidered with gold, ant} been worn by popes and archbishops on great occasions. There was a robe tbat had been worn by Pius VII. at the crowning 'of the first Napoleon. There was also a vestment that had been worn at the baptism of Napoleon 11. As our guide opened the oaken presses, and brought out these vestments of fabulous cost, and lifted them up, the fragrance of the pungent \ aromatic* in which they had been pre- ' served tilled the place with a sweetness that was almost oppressive. •Nothing that had been done in stone more vividly impressed me than these things , that had been in cloth, and embroidery 1 and perfume. But today I open the .drawer of this text, and I look upon the kindly robes of Christ and as I lift ! them, flashing with eternal jewels, the • whole hou.-o is filled with the aroma of j these garments, which "-sn"vll ot myrrh, am! aloes, and cassia, out, of : the ivory payees." In my text the king steps forth. His robes rustle and Maze a? hp advances, j Hfs pomp and power and glory over- j master the spectator. More brilliant l is he than Queen Vashti, moving amid { the Persian princes; than Marie An<- j toinette, on the day when Louis XVI. put upon her the necklace of SCO diamonds: than Anne Boleyn, the day when Henry VIII. welcomed her to his palace— all beauty and all pomp for- 1 gotten while we stand in tb? presence of this imperial glory, king of Zion. king of earth, king of heaven, king forever! His garments not worn out, not dust-bedraggled; but radiant-and jeweled and redolent. It seems as if they must have been pressed a hundred years amid the flowers of heaven. The wardrobes from which they have been taken must have been sweet with clus- • ters of camphire.and frankincense, and r all manner of precious wood.—Be-you- , not inhale the odors? Ay, ay, "They J smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, : out of the ivcry palaces." Your first curiosity is to know why the robes- of Christ are odorous with myrrh. This was a bright-leafed Abyssinian plant. It was trifoliated. The Greeks, Egyptians, Romans and Jews 'bought and sold it at a high price. The? ' fir.it pre?rru that was ever given to Christ- was a*sprig of myrrh thrown on his infantile led in L'ethlehem, and the last gift that Christ ever had was myrrh pressed into the cup of his crucifixion. The natives would take a stone and bruise the tree, and then it would exude a gum that would saturate all the ground beneath. This gum was used for purposes of merchandise. One piece of it, no larger than a chestcut, would whelm a whole room with odors. It was put in closets, in chests, in drawers, in rooms and its perfume adhered almost interminably to anything that wa-s anywhere near it. So when in my text I read that Christ's garments smell of myrrh, I immediately conclude the exquisite sweetness of Jesus, I know that to many he is on!/ like any historical person; another John Howard; another philanthropic. Ober- Hn; another Confucius, a grand subject for a painting, a heroic theme for a poem; a beautiful form for a statue; but to those who have heard his voice, and felt his pardon, and received his benediction, he is music and light, and warmth, and thrill, aqtf eternal fragrance— sweet as a friend sticking to you when all else betray; lifting you up while others try to push you down; not so much like morning-glories, that bloom only when the sun Is coming up, nor like "four-o'clocks," that bloom only when the sun is going down, but like myrrh, perpetually aromatic—the same morning, noon and night; yesterday, today, forever. It seems as it we cannot wear him out We put on him all our burdens, and afflict him with all our griefs, and set him foremost in all our battles; and yet he is ready to lift, and to sympathize and to help. We have so imposed upon him that one would think in eternal affront he would quit our soul, and yet today he addresses us with the same tenderness, dawns upon us with the same smile, pities us with the same compassion. There is no name like his for us. It Is more imperial than Caesar's, more musical than Beethoven's, more conquerlng thau Chai lemagne's, more elo-i quest than Cicero's. It throbs with all Hf«. It wetna with ail oatfaos. It gi'oans with all pain. It & loops with all condescension. It barathea with all perfume. Who like Jesus to set » broken buue, to pity a homeless orphan, to nurse a sick man, to take a prodigal back without any scolding, to illumine a cemetery all ploughed with graves, to make a queen unto God out of the lost woman, to catch the tears of human sorrow In a lachrymatory that shall never be broken? Who has such an eye to see our need, such a lip to kiss away our sorrow, such a band to snatch us out of the fire, such a foot to trample our enemies, such a heart to embrace all our necessities? I struggle for some metaphor with which to express- him; he is not like the bursting forth of a full orchestra; that is too loud. He is not like the sea when lashed to rage by the tempest; that is too boisterous. He is not like the mountain, its brow wreathed with the lightnings; that is too solitary. Give us a softer type, a gentler comparison. We have seemed to see him with our eyes, and to hear him with our ears, and to touch him with our hands. Oh, that today he might appear to some other one of ouv live senses! Ay, the nostril shall disrover his presence. He comes upon us like spice gales from heaven. Yea, his garments smell of lasting and all-pervasive myrrh. Would that you all knew nis sweetness! how soon you would turn from , all other attractions! If the philoso- - pher leaped out of his bath in a frenzy j of joy, and clapped his hands ana j rushed through the streets, because he had found the solution of a mathematical problem, how will you feel leaping from the fmm::::1' of a savior's j mori-y and pardon, was-litd clean-and ; made whitt- as snow, when the question naft been solved: "How ran my soui . oe saved?" Naked, frost-bitten, storiniashed soul, let Jesus this hour throw around thee the "garments that smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia out of ivory palaces." —Y-mtr—stvpirrtTuriobitv is to kt why the robes of Jesus are odorous with aloes. There is sonic difference of opinion about where these aloes grow, what is the color of the flower, ; what is the particular appearance of the herb. Suffice it for you and me to know that aloes mean bitterness the world over, and when Cnrist comes A'ith garments bearing that particular odor, they suggest to me the bitterness of a Savior's sufferings. Were there ever such nights as Jesus lived through — nights on the mountains, nights on the soa, nights in the desert? Who ever had sin-h a hard reception as Jesus had? A hostelry the first, an unjust trial in over and tcrminer another, a foul-mouthed, yelling mob the last. ' Was there a space on his back as wide : as your two fingers where he was not whipped? Was there a space on his •• brow an Inch square where he was not cut of the briers? When the spike struck at the instep, did it not go clear through to the hollow of the foot? Oh, long deep, bitter pilgrimage! Aloes'! aloes! According to my text,'he comes "out of the ivory p".!.;co.s." You know, or, if you do not know, I will tell you now, | that some of the palaces of olden time | were adorned with ivory. Ahab and Solomon had their homes furnished with it. The tusks of African and Asiatic elephants were twisted into all manners of shapes, and there were stairs of ivory, and chairs of ivory, and tables of Ivory, and floors of ivory, and pillars of ivory, and windows of Ivory, and fountains that dropped into basins of ivory, and room9 that had ceilings of ivory. Oh, white and overmastering beauty! Green tree branches sweeping the white curbs. Tapestry trailing the snowy floors. Brackets of light flashing on the lustrous surroundings. Silvery music rippling on the beach of the arches. The mere thought of it almost stuns my brain, and you say: "Oh, if I could only have walked over such floors! If I could have thrown myself Intof such a chair! If 2 could have heardithe drip and dash of those fountaia*^ You shall have something heifer than that if you only let Christ introduce you. From that place he came, and to that place he proposes to transport you, for his "garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces." *What a place heaven must be! The Tuileries of the French, the Windsor castle of the English, the Spanish AJhambra, the Russian Kremlin, are mere, dungeons compared with It! Not so many castles on either side the Rhine as.on both sides of the river of God—the ivory palaces! One for the angels, insufferably bright, winged, fire-eyed, tempest-charioted; one for the martyrs, with blood-red robes from under the altar; one for the King, the steps of his palace the crown cf the church militant; one for the singers, who lead the one hundred and forty and four thousand; one for you, ransomed from sin; one for me, plucked from the burning. Oh, the ivory palaces i Today it seems to me as if the win* dows of those palaces were illumined for some great victory, and I look and} see, climbing the Btairs of Ivory, and walking on floors of ivory, and lookig from the windows of ivory, some whom we knew and loved on earth. Yes. I know them. Theee are father and mother, not eighty-two years and seventy-nine years, as when they left us, but blithe and young as when on their marriage day. And there are brothers and slstere,merrler than when we used to romp across the meadows! together. The cough gone. The can-' cer cured. The erysipelas healed. TUe heartbreak over. Oh, how fair they are in the ivory palaces! And your dear little children that went ou' <rom you— Christ did not let one ot them drop as he lifted them. He did not wrench one of them from you. No. They went as from one they loved well to One whom they lovSd better. If I should take your little child and press its soft face against my rough cheek, I might keep it a little while; but when you, the mother, came along it would struggle to go with you. And so you stood holding your dying child wues, Jesus passed by in the room, and the little one sprang out to greet him The*, is all. Your Christian dead did not gs down Into the dust, and the gravel, and the mud. Though it rained all thai funeral day, and the water came up tc the wheel's hub as you drove out to the cemetery, it made no difference to them, for they 6tepped from the home here to the home there, right into the ' ivory palaces. All is well with them. All is well. It is not a dead weight that you lift whe:i you carry a Christian out. Jesus makes the bed up soft with velvet promises, and he says, "Put her down here very gently. Put that head which will never ach«? again on this pillow of hallelujahs. Send up word that the procession is coming, Ring the bells! Ring! Open your gates, ye ivory pal- j aces!" And so your loved ones are] there. They are just as certainly there, j having died in Christ, as that yoi: are I here. There Is only one thing more | they want. Indeed, there is one thing t in heaven they have not got. They want it. Wha: is it Your company. But, oh, my brother, unless you change your tack you cannot reach that har- | bpr. You might as well take the Southern Pacific railroad, expecting in that direction to reach Toronto, as to go on In the way some of you are going, and yet expect to reach the ivory palaces. Your loved ones are looking out of the windows of heaven now, and yet you seem to turn your back upon them. You do not seem to know the sound of their voices as well as you used to, or to be moved by the sight of their dear faces. Call louder, ye departed ones! Call louder from the ivory palaces!" When I think of that place,and think of my entering it, I feel awkward; I feel as sometimes when I have been exposed to the weather, and my shoes have been bemirt-d, and my coat Is soiled, and my hair Js disheveled, and I stop in front of some fine residence where I have an errand. I feel not flt -to go in as I am, and sit among—tb» guests. So some of us feel about heaven. We need to be washed; we need to be rehabilitated before we go into the ivory palaces. Eternal God, let the surges of thy pardoning mercy roll over us! I want nol only to wash my hands and my feet, but, like some skilled diver, standing on the pierhead, who leaps into a wave and cornea up at a far distant point from whore he went in, eo.I want to go down, and so I want to come up, O Jesus, wash me in the waves of thy salvation! And here 1 ask you to solve a mystery that has been oppressing me for thirty years. I have been asking it of doctors of divinity who have been studying theology for half a century,! and they have given me uu satisfactory answer. I have turned over all the books in my library, but got no solution to the question, and today I come and ask you for an explanation. By what logic was Christ induced to exchange the ivory palaces of heaven for the crucifixion agonies of earth? I shall take the first thousand million years in. heaven to study out that problem; meanwhile, and now, taking it as the tenderefit, mightiest of all . facts that Christ did come; that he came with spikes In his feet* came with thorns in his brow; came with spears in his heart, to save you and to save me, "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Oh, Christ, whelm all our souls with thy compassion! Mow them down like summer grain with the harvesting sickle of thy grace! Ride through today the conqueror, thy garments smelling "of myrrh, and aloes, and cas3ia, out of the ivory palaeee"! OUR BUDGET OF FUN. SOME GOOD JOKES, ORIQ1NAL AND SELECTED. A Variety of Joke*.

"For the land's sake, pa," called out Mrs. Druailla Gladden to her husband as he wiped his feet on a piece of carpet at the kitchen door, "I thought you'd never get in. Guess who's sent me a letter. You'd never think in a month of Sundays. It's from Devah Bland—my cousin Devah." Pa gave a smile of interest and rubbed his hands. "Well, I swan now! And what has Devy got to say for himself?" "He's coming to Ohio to visit. He'll be here next week. What d'ye think of that?" Pa pulled off his boots cau-tfititedly. "I won't be sorry to see /f)evy. We war In school together. What say? Is he doing well?" "Doing well, but his wife's dead; been dead two year or more. I bet you a great deal, pa, he's on the warpath. And to think Angeline Culver's visiting around here just now, and she's a widder. Pa, it looks tike the 'plntfn's of Providence, don't it?" Mrs. Gladden smiled benignly on her husband and he on her. They were in love with each other and had been for twenty years. "It truly does," replied pa, "it truly does. Jest think how them two courted over three years, wasn't it? I hold the .split was all Angellne's folks' fault. That old man Porter never stayed anywhere and got a streak to move to Indiana. Her ma wouldn't let her stay here and that made Devy properly mad. They kep' it up for awhile writin\ then Devy went out farther west and married himself to a strange woman. After awhile Angeline gets married. First we hears her pardner's gone and she's a likely widow, visitin' round. Then we gets a letter sayin' Devy's pardner has been departed two year's and he's comin' visitin. Now don't that beat all?" "How plain you've made it, pa," beamed M-r-Sr-Drusilla, "It-soundslike. them story papers. You ort to have been a writer for one. I offen thought dl;~retlon: though I don't want to hurt your feelings none, Drusllly. You can take it all out flxin* up the spare room and Marindy's room. It air lucky Angeline ain't been down here yet— another clear 'plntin'. Now hurry up the dinner and write Devy a letter, tellin' him he must come right here an' we won't take no for an answer. I'll hitch up the cutter and we'll go over to town an" engage Angeline for the whole endurin' week.' The two were excited as children. The letter had to be strong enough to suit pa and was the labor of an hour for Mrs. Gladden ere it suited him. Dinner over, they tucked themselves into a green sleigh and drove over to New California. "We'll stop on the way," said the small and rosy man. "I feel so anxlou3 to get hold of Angeline." "Oh, you do?' questioned the wife, demurely. "Well, as Dur Marindy declares, her pa's younger'n any one." Angeline Culver—Angeline Porter that was—was visiting at old Dr. Norman's. She and Cissy Norman had always been close friends. She came out to the sleigh to speak to Mrs. Gladden. She was quite dressy and had on a pink house sack trimmed with white lace. She had tied a little white fascinator over, her brown waves. "I was 'lowing to go over to Dennis Daodna's next week," she said, in her soft, comfortable voice, "but if you make a point of it I guess I can put them off." Pa Gladden was so anxious his little feet danced up and down In the snow. "Oh, we want you real bad next week, Angeline! We been waitin' and expectin' 'till we're set on it special. Do say you'll come.' "I believe pa'll burst if you don't come, Ange'.ine," said his wife, "he : gets so set on anything." "Well, I win," assented the widow. "I used to have good times at your house when I was a girl. I never have forgotten them." Ea yent through an expressive pantomime behind her. "And pa'll fetch you on Sunday aft- HE BROUGHT ANGELINE BACK WITH HIM. W.N.U.--DETROIT—NO.3 2—1899 AdvtrtUftrtrt MeitiQi TfcU f«Mf. that. My, ain't it. plum interesting? I don't want to miss none of it, do you? How can we fix it?" Pa wa3 so appreciative of his wife's praise he tilted back in the rocker and gave the matter solemn thought. "I calkilate we kin have this all to ourselves," he began, "ef you can hold out 'gainst mentionin1 Devy's comin'. It will be hard work for ye, Drusilly, but it's the only way. Do you think you kin hold that news over prayermeetin' and Sunday? I tell you what," he went on excitedly, "we can just have the whole thing happen right here, meetln' an' all, if you don't tell." Mrs, Gladden's pleasant face fell. "I wonder if It'll be fair not to tell the rest of the folks," she began. "You see, Devy'll be expecting a big welcome." Asahel Gladden rose up In his socks. "Dru8illy, I have Jest set my heart on managing the whole thing. Don't you disappoint me. I never had so much chance as this in all my mortal life. I always wanted to do seen directto' and managin\ and don't you disappoint me." "What'lt folks say when they find we held that news?" asked his wife, much impressed, but giving up, as Tfety'U say you've come to yean of ernoon," went on Mrs. Gladden. "If the snow don't stay on he'll fetch you in the buggy." Afterward Mrs. Gladden declared that pa spent the happiest week of his life getting ready for that couple to be reunited. It never struck his warm and innocent heart that anything could go amiss. He piled up special wood for the parlor, he hovered around the two bedrooms, he actually had his finger in every pie and cake baked. He went to the village store alone once or twice, and, after the last visit, wore an air of the deepest mystery. Mrs. Gladden stood this until the hour of retiring. "Ashahel!" she exclaimed, with a break in her voice, "Asahel, you never had a secret from me in all your life, did you?" The rosy man looked as guilty as if detected in a ctime. He saw her kind eyes and his voice quavered. "Never before," he whispered, "but I'm so afeard you can't hold this one over Sunday meetln' I'm bound not to breathe it." One dry sob brought him to terms. "It air," he whispered, tiptoeing over to her, "it air that I telegraphed to Devy to git here on the Sunday afternooa txpress." Mrs. Gladden's attitude toward tht wortfl. on Sunday morning was th« gossip of the neighborhood for weeka. She suddenly assumed an air of funereal 4t£fiit7, would converse with no one, and stalked silently out after meeting au<i climbed into the sleigh triumphantly. "You've done it," whispered her husband, delighted; 'I didn't credit you with it." After dinner the parlor fire was lit. the table spread for company tea, and Pa Gladden wrapped himself up to go for Angeline. He was so happy his wife's heart trembled. "Pa," she said, "don't you set too much' store by It. Devah may have other intentions, and Angeline may not agree." "Don't you think it!" declared pa. "Angeline air a hundred times prettier that she war. Devy air a man; that settles it all. Now do your part. I've told you jest what to say to her. Leave Devy to me. Men understands men." He brought Angeline and her valises back in an hour. Mrs. Gladden rejoiced in her womanly beauty. She kissed her as tenderly as if she had been a young girl when ehe helped her in. Angeline's face beamed. "How nice you've made everything for me!" she cried. "It's like a homecoming." Her face grew thoughtful. "It makes me think ot old times—old frioads." "Well, just settle down and make yourself at home," said pa, coming in. "I have to be gone an hour or two. You and ma can have a good old talk." A while later he was limping off the falling snow on .the platform of the station. The express stopped, a usual proceeding. A tall, bronzed man alighted and pa met him, so eager he almost cried over him as he shook hands. Alas! Alas! All pa's finesse and subtle phrases were forgotten. He was as nervous as a woman. Finally he reined jn. Dolly, _almpst_in sightof ^he_house. NO REMEDY EQUALS PERUNA, SO THE WOMEN ALL SAY.

She air a widow; she air a finer woman 'n ou could see in a day's travel. It air the desire of my heart to bring you two together.' The man beside him grew palp and gasped, then he wrung the mittened hand. Good Ma Gladden came out to the sleigh. She, too. had forgotten her part. She had been crying and broke down.

While the fire made a clean sweep it is hoped all shrubs and trees are not killed. It certainly cleaned the ground of grass and weeds in a hurry. AMONG OUR JESTER TILLAGES.

"Now, my dear," said Mrs. Acland, "here's what I can't help thinking'll be likely of more use to you than that marriage certificate; and I took and copied that off a letter Mr. Phillips wrote. , He wrote it and left it by accident on the table while he took you out walking; and when he came in, I saw he was in a fine taking at the thought of my having seen it." She laid a piece of paper before Marguerite's eyes. "D. Brandon, Esq,, High Lees, Great Woodenham, Hunts." Marguerite looked steadfastly at the address. "You are right, Mrs. Acland," she said, with repressed ercitement in her tonas—"this is the very thing I have wanted." And even as she gazed at the' paper her resolution was taken. She was all alone; there was no one to hinder her, no one to object. She would take the train and go and visit these scenes of her childhood. t "MIND YOU TAKE CARE OF HER. MRS. AOLAND," HE'D SAY. say.'an' I'll make it worth your while!' —wJiich, to say truth, he did, though I've always regretted I listened to him ever .since, an' it's laid heavy on my conscience, my dear." Marguerite wrung her hands. Oh, to he a man—a man, that she might be revenged on the base wretch who took advantage of her helpless innocence*! "You must be able to give me some Idea of what he looked like," she cried —"something more definite than your opinion that he was a gentleman!" "'WeU, I'll tell you this much—he was a tall man, slender and not much color." "Was he dark or fair?" •Fair^!—promptly. "Tall'and'fair and blackhearted!" murmured Marguerite. "Oh, how I hate hlmi Do you say he used to bring me flowers, Mrs. Acklaad?" "My dear, the most beautiful! you was so fond of flowers. I remember now the sorts he used to hring you— always red and yellow roses and heaps of faro." Marguerite's eyes instinctively wandered to the table, where her sumptuous morning's Instalment of flowers was ranged in a large bowl. Red and yellow roees! A etrange coincidence. For a moment the wild Idea erua*«r her mind that the unknown sender of Chase flowers mijht be her husband. Bed and yellow rotes at once lost their charm, fthe turned away from them With A gesture of dlafost "I believe," ;she murmured, "if once I stood there and saw the place before me, i should remember all about it M CHAPTER/XIV. It was a beautiful autumn day. The Virginia creeper on the little wayside station of Great Woodenham, a mass of scarlet and ^rold. rirslled every now and then in iftie light breeze. The distances melted in blue, mist; the dew still lay in heavy beads on the long grass of the banks and ditches, as Marguerite stepped Jrom the London train and looked about her with wondering, observant eyea. She formed a very fair picture as she stood there, in a neat, well-fitting gray morning dress, and white straw sailorhat trimmed with * knot of white ribbons. Even the solitary porter forgot himself in admiration of her pretty face and charming figure. Marguerite did not see him; ehe was gazing at the board on which the name of the station was painted in large black letlets, "Great Woodenham—far High Lees and Clariadale." She had not grasped* the tact that she was coraing so near to Clariadale. Whjr. she was within a few miles of Bernard, sad of her legal ad»isef. Mi.-MarriniMw?_Eniaaie_ she were to meet them! Her cheeks burned at the thought. Turning, she beckoned to the admiring porter. "In which direction if ClariadeJt fram here r aha asked. "About five miles west o' this, ml«v, but there ainX, no village to speak of— only U>rd Umfraville's place." "Oh—and which is the way to High Lees?" "Right out the other way, m i s s - rather better 'n three mile, miss." "Does Mr. Brandon still live there?" "Yes, miss; but his house is two mile good beyond the village. It's a Ions tramp, miss." "Oh, I am a good walker! I suppose, when I get to the village, any one would direct me to Mr. Brandon's r "Oh, yes, miss." "Then will you tell me the nearest way to the village?" He gave the necessary direction, and with a bright "Thank you," she started off. Marguerite walked on in a state of mind strangely divided between exhilaration and fear. The fresh, pure airthe blue sky, the waving trees, and, above all, the sense of enterprise and daring, were delightful to her. But presently, to her astonishment, she found that the old habitual terror of her uncle was creeping over her. She began to realize that it was \scarcely prudent to trust herself alone; to the tender mercies of the man who had already adopted such measures to be rid of her. She began to think that she was foolhardy; but, being thus far on the journey, nothing would have induced her to turn back. She walked on briskly, secure in the thought that every step was taking her farther from Clarisdale, and that there really was no chance of her being seen. As to Mr. Brandon, she did not want to see him; she wanted to see Cathie; and her remembrance of the back entrance to the house was so vivid that sue felt certain that she could accomplish her object. Anyhow, she was in for it— the issue must be left to fate. She felt the longing for certainty greater than ever. Come what might, she must ascertain who and what was Arthur Phillips, and jfrnefrh'er he ,was living or dead. A letter from Bernard lay in her pocket—a letter full of Lady Mildred. "This is "such an Ideal house," he wrote. "Mine shall be managed just the same. You Should know Lady Mildred—in fact, you must know her. She could teach you so much, especially as regards dress—she understands the art to perfection; and, when you see her, yon must take hints; though of course your style and hers are very different," etc. The letter hurt Marguerite's feelings, though of course she owned bitterly to herself that it was true. She was absolutely ignorant of everything which Bernard SeJwyn's wife should know. She paused against a stile leading into a cornfield, and sat down a minute to rest, for she had walked a couple of ?r.iles at a very rapid rate. As she sr< she heard the galloping of horses behind her on the road, and the soirad of laughter and voices. Urged by an impulse she hardly understood, she climbed over the stile, and paused on the other side, hidden by the hedge, to aee the riders go by. Just ae they rea<;hertl that part of the road they slackened to a foot-pave, and she could -both see and hear distinctly^ There were alhree young men and twe glrla, all well mounted and in high spirits. They were all looking behind them. "Nosign of them!" cried one of the ladles. "My dear Miss Talbot, you wun't see them again this morning; they are off as usual. Perhaps Lady Mildred is •showing him the short eat, to the Home Tarm again!" There was evidently s. joke here. They all burst out laughing. "Selwyn is awfully hard hit, Isn't "he?" said one of the men. "It will be a fine thing for the Umfravllle estates," remarked another, and then the voices became indistinct as the party passed on down ttie lane. Marguerite stood still. Of course she tad known it all before, but it seemed notwithstanding to come u»w her with a sudden shock. She bowed her head on tne stile, and gave way no her trouble forr a time. She d^ not^know how long she stood there; she only knew that what roused her wse the semnd of more horses' feet. She started and shivered, but It was too late to move. Holding on by the rough wood for support, ahe saw them ride elowly past—saw Lftdy Mildrea s pale, proud face, noted the downward curve of her expnessive month, saw Bernard rldiag close—ah, so close!—but could not isaleh the low words that he was, speaking. So they passed, acid it seemed to Marguerite as if the life and gladness of the sunny day passed with them. She waited till the last echo of horses' feet had died away in the distance, and then eiimbed resolutely baek into the mne and continued her journey. She did not care for twenty Daniel Brandons now. Nothing, she thought, could ever stir her emotions again—love and fear were dead together. __ "I have Fved~lhd lu»«d." she saidherself, "and now it is all over. Others have had harder things to hear. I thm." To be eotttmwed. ' Untter Salting. I think it is safe to say that no one who has undertaken to brine-salt butter has continued the process, for the reason that he failed to get the butter salt enough. The fact is, butter does not take salt; it remains in the butter only as brine or undissolved salt, says F. C. Curtis in Hoard's Dairyman. Make fresh butter into balls and immerse them in brine as strong as it can be made, for six months, cut them open and you will find them still fresh. * * • We are proposing to churn the cream to granulation, wash it, and let it drain; then we claim that if It has been done* right the granules will permit the added salt to mix more evenly through the butter and the moisture in the butter will very soon dissolve off the acute angles of the salt in the butter so as to soon destroy the scouring character of the salt on the grain of the butter, hence we see the desirability of having a salt that will dissolve quick. * • * It seems to be conceded that butter is entitled to have 12 per cent of water to remain in it—that this water holds the salt—that salt must not show in the butter undissolved. I claim that there is no better way to add salt to butter than in the granular state in the churn, but there is no certain means of knowing how much water is left in the butter after all the water has drained out, so that not a drop remains. If the cream has been churned rather cold the granules will remain quite fine and more water will remain in that will not drain out; or, if churned a little warmer or until the granules are coarser, much lees vater will remain in the butter after drainage. If twenty pounds of butte? are in the churn in fine granules, the salt added, the churn revolved to mix well —then the churn to rest awhile for th* salt to dissolve—then the revolving of the churn continued until the butter has formed Into balls, there will be found some four quarts of brine to come out. On the other hand, if the churning had been continued until the granules were coarse, probably the surplus brine would not have been over one quart or even less. It must be plainly seen that all the water that was In the butter Is all salted alike, that which comes out, the same as that which remains in to hold the salt, and if one quart remained in the butter to represent the 12 per cent, and one quart came out, half the salt has come out, that If four quarts- came out, three-fourths of the salt has come out, hence the necessity of adding more salt. It seems to me that the claim of brine salting Is untenable, fo* the 12 per cent of water to remain in the butter can hardly <be made salt enough to flavor the butter. If so, why dilute the strength of the salt by adding water to. it, before applying it to the butter, when we already have too much water in the butter? Prof. Farrlngton gives us valuable Information relative to the action of salt on butter, claiming that salt aids in taking the surplus water ou£.of butter. This is clearly correct. For instance, pack a barrel of pork using say fifteen pounds of salt—there is apparently no -water visible—if weighted, in a few days we find -it covered with briiw, without the addition of water; no doubt this is caused by the action of the salt. Rub a fresh ham with salt and much water soon exudes; salt a .green hide, water exudes, runs oil, and the hide, I think weighs less than it did before salting. although the added salt has gone into the hide, and when made into leather, the leather will weigh, more than it would have weighed had no salt been used. I do not believe that salt has much of any effect on preserving butter other than aiding to get out the surplus water; that "butter to keep" must be as free from the leaven of decay as possible, or what Prof. Russell denominates bacteria. Germs in the Fore-Milk.—With regard to the number of germs present in the fore-milk. Prof. Harrison found that in the first few strains of milk removed from the teats they varied from 1S.0Q0 to 54,000 per cubic centimeter; while the numbers present in the remainder of the milk amounted to only tram 890 to 4.S00 per cubic centimeter. These figures clearly demonstrate how important it is that th6 first few drops of milk from e^ch teat should be milked into a separate receptacle and subsequently thrown away, and should on no account be mixed with the bulk of the milk.—Ex.

Kapoolala Apun Kacently Diatf at the Age of 1»7. There died here a few days ago a woman of the age of 127 years. The figures have been verified by Prof- Alexander, the historian; A. T. Atkinson, superintendent of census, and Mrs. E. M. Nakuina, a Hawaiian lady of high cultivation, both in English and her own language, says a Honolulu correspondent of the St. Louis XSlobe- Democrat. The following account of a visit to the old woman three years ago was prepared by Mrs. Nakuina an<! is vised by Prof. Alexander: "On entering the house we found her sitting on the floor. She was attended by two women, one of whom was the wife of a grandson. She was very deaf and could not see clearly, though when I presented a dollar to her ahe held out her hand for it and placed it in her pocket. This was at the close of the interview, but I mention it now to show what the old lady's faculties were: "Prof. Alexander, after some preliminary remarks, in order not to alarm the old lady, suggested a number of historical questions, which were put by myself. From these we learned that she well remembered the abolition of idolatry and the war in that connection. She stated that she was a married woman and an attendant of Kapiolani I. when that queen descended into the crater of the Kilauea volcano, and broke the tabu against woman being in that locality. The old lady said that in consequence of this momentous event her own name was changed by her people from Kepoolele to Apua. "The old lady said that she remem* bered Keoua being killed at KawaJhae. This occurred in 1791, and is described in Alexander's 'History of the Hawaiian People.' "Becoming interested in the subject of old events the aged woman volunteered the information that she remembered the digging of the well in. Katl by Kamehameha I., and'that she w a r a child at that time, running about like a child of 6 or 7. This event occurred in 1781 and is described in Fornander's history. "I followed up another method of investigation, inquiring how many children she had, tracing their descendants. This I was enabled to do to the fifth generation Allowing the ordinary thirty years for a generation would ^VA 13Q years, and we can easily allow for the fifth enough to bring ner out ot the age she claims by a a entirely different method.

She threw the photograph imnatlent- \y from her. It "was nearly time to dress for dinner, and she went slowly up the etairs. On the landing Lord Vermount's man stood aside for her to pass. "His lordship dines at home ton i g h t ? " she asked. "Yes, my lady." The servant's footsteps padded decorously down the thickly carpeted staircase. She (passed by the door of her husband's bedroom, then passed on and entered her own. A^moment and sh& was back again and stood within his rhamber. His clothes lay ready tor him, and on the dressing table a black silk mask, while propped against thelooking- glass were two cards of admiseion to masked balls. One for this very night, the other one for three days hence. She took them up, twisting them nervously round in her fingers. Strange thoughts c o u r ^ d through her brain.

H e breathed some tender words in her ear, and felt h e r whole frame quiver. A moment and she had drawn herself from him, and,-* lifting her head, let her glowing eyes rest on his face. "In truth, fair maiden, It does," he answered, "but It would please me still better If you would dance with me/* The eyes behind the white domino violets which doubtless still hung had lost their merry look, but t h a t ! about his coat sleeve altered MB purwhlch had replaced it made the bloc*d p o S c He took a step or two into the beat quickly in hia veins, as, without | r o o r a , a word she yielded herself into his arms.

I want to tell you something; I have had a letter from papa; he has just made a big thing over some railways; that means more dollars for you some day. Good night; shut the door now, and firmly, please." Lady Vermount's voice was hard and cold; he shuddered at it. For that m o n e n t he was disposed to go and let matters drop; then some faint scent of in this clasp as they glided around il:e room. "Are you tired?" he whispered. "No. no, my knight." He bent again and whispered some tender words in her ear; the scent of her violets, the chiming of her bells, had intoxicated him. They neared the entrance. "I am tired now," she whispered, and before he realized her Intention; she had slipped „ from him and fled. Someihing white lay at her feet. He stooped to pick it up; It was & slip of paper, violet scented. "Three nigM? hence I shall be here again," was written on it. He put It away in his pocket and left the building. "It will depend on Lady Vermo mt whether I come again or pot," he said to himself. I've tried to keep straight, but I'd be hanged if T can go on with this arrangement at npme much longer. I was a fool to .»e«in with it, but I felt I owed oO much *o Vjr that I did not like to oppose her wishes. Who would have imagined such a strength of cold purpose behind those eyes of hers?" He bit ofT the end of his cigar viciously, hailed a hansom and was driven homeward. He tried to \hink of his wife, but the jingle of the horse's bells recalled too vividly the gir! in the white cloak.

She sprang to her-teet as she spoke and stood facing him, the cloak with its gofd clasp threaded through with the strand of blue silk, hanging back .'icm her white shoulders. "Clarisse, why, what does it mean?" he asked, gaspingly. "It means"—she put out her hands imploringly—"it meauy—oh. don't you ?ce? It was a venture on my part, a "enture to gain your love."

The admission fees to a recent prizefight in New York exceeded $85,000, the largest amount ever received for any single performance. This has been cited as a startling commentary upon the times. Bloody noses and cracked crowns, however, are not the delight of the vast majority of our people, nor are bounce and bluster yet widely accepted as the principal virtues of the world. The city of New York, now second only to London In "Its" volume of trade, had but a slow growth for more than a century and-a half after it was settled by the Dutch. President Low of Columbia university cites a prediction uttered more than 150 years ago, and then regarded as rash, to the effect that the port at the mouth of the Hudson might in time become the com- (Copyrlfht 139» by Louis Klopsch) Two modes of divination by which the king of- Babylon proposed to find out the will of God: He took a bundle of arrows, put them together, mixed them together, then pulled forth one, and by the inscription on it decided what city he should first assault. Then an animal was slain, and by the lighter or darker color of the liver, the brighter or darker prospect ot success was inferred. That Is the meaning of the text, "He made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked In the liver." Stupid delusion! And yet all the ages have been filled with 'delusions. It seems as if the world loves to be hoodwinked, the delusion of the text only a specimen of the vast number of deceits practiced upon the human race. In the latter part of the last century Johanna Southcote came forth pretending to have divine power, made prophecies, had chapels built in her honor, and one hundred thousand disciples came forward to follow her. About five years before the birth of Christ, Apollonius was born, and he came forth, and after five years being speechless, according to tradition, he healed the sick, and raised the dead, and preached virtue, and, according to the myth, having deceased, was brought to resurrection. The Delphic Oracle deceived vast multitudes of people; the Pythoness seated in the temple of Apollo uttering a crazy Jargon from which the people guessed their individual or national fortunes or misfortunes. The utterances were of such a nature that you could read them any way you wanted to read them. A general coming forth to battle consulted the Delphic Oracle, and he wanted to find out whether he was going to be safe in'the battle, or killed in battle, and the answer came forth from the Delphic Oracle in such words that if you put the comma before the word "never" it means one thing, and if you put the comma after the word "never" if m^ans another thing just mercial rival of Newport, R. I., which had grown rich by the African slave trade. The conscienceless land dealer seems to have turned his attention to Alaska farming properties. The Juneau Miner calls attention to the fact that the papers of the central west are publishing advertisements of arv Iowa man who proposes to sell at $S per acre "a soil of very deep, dark loam, will grow all kinds of vegetabes, grain, hay in abundance; climate splendid; crop failure unknown; adapted to the raising of cattle, sheep and hogs, dairy and poultry industries." This, the Miner says, is nothing less than a fraud on the public, and that it is "criminal to hold out inducements to 100 families that they can find government land, in Alaska upon which there has been no failure of crops." We hope the unwary will take note of this caution. The popular impression of the effect of cold on disease germs has been made the excuse for tfross carelessness about cleanliness in domestic and public processes and places. A low temperature has been considered a release from sanitary precautions. With the error, truth has had an unequal struggle. An account of experiments with liquid air ought to open the eyes of the sanitarily blind. The temperature of liquid r.lr is over three hundred degrees below zero, and the bacillus of diphtheria and the bacillus of typhoid fever exposed to such freezing conditions were neither killed nor checked in growth. The specialist who made the experiment declarai that so far as our present knowledge permit* of its application, cold cannot be relied on as a disinfectant. Consular reports tell us that there Is an opportunity for American windmill makers to secure a market for their product in Greece. According to these reports the islands and mainland of Greece possess innumerable small farms, laid out in vineyards, vegetable gardens and orange and lemon proves. The soil is rich, but the Important question is that of water, which, when found, is near the surface and supplied to the land by means of wells worked by machinery with mule or horsepower. Many of the land proprietors are well-to-do and could afford windmills. Greece is so cut up by the tea that there is hardly a day in the year without a breeae.

If he was killed, that was according to the Delphic Oracle; if he came home safely, that was according to the Delphic Oracle. So the ancient auguries deceived the people. The pricsta of thoco auguries,- by the flight of birds, or by the intonation of thunder, or by the in'side appearance of slain animals, told the fortunes or misfortunes of individuals or nations. The sibyls deceived the people. The sibyls were supposed to be inspired women who lived in caves and who wrote the sibylline books afterward purchased by Tarquin the Proud. So late as the year 1829, a man arose In New York, pretending to be a divine being, and played his part so well that wealthy merchants became his disciples and threw their fortunes into his keeping. And so in all ages there have tcca necromancies, incantations, witchcrafts, sorceries, magical arts, enchantments, divinations and delusions. The one djf the text was only a specimen of that which has been occurring in All ages of the world. None of these delusions accomplished any good. They deceived, they pauperized the people, they were as cruel as they were absurd. They opened no hospitals, they healed no woundi, they wiped away no tears, they emancipated no serfdom. • * • Admiral Farragut, one of the most admired men of the. American navy, early became a victim of this Christian delusion, and seated not long before bis death at Long Branch, he was giving some friends an account of his (early lift,. He eaid: "My father went down in behalf, of the United States government to put an end to Aaron Burr's rebellion. I was a cabin boy and went along with him. I could gamble in every style of gambling. I knew all the wickedness there was at tthat time abroad. One day my father cleared everybody out, of the cabin except myself and locked the door. He said: 'David, what are you going to Ido? What are you going to be?' 'Well,' 2 said, 'father, I am going to follow the sea.' 'Follow the sea! and be a poor, miserable, drunken sailor, kicked and cuffed about the world, and die of a Ctever in a foreign hospital.' 'Oh, no!' I eaid, 'father, I will not be that, I will tread the quarter-deck and command «LS you do.' 'No, David,' my father said, 'no, David, a person that has your principles and your bad habits will never tread the quarter-deck or command/ My father went out and shut f the door after him, and I eaid then: •I will change; I will never swear Again; I will never drink again; I will never gamble again.' And.gentlemen.by the help of Ood, 1 have kept those three •ows to this time. I soon after that became a Christian, and that decided I my fate for time and for eternity." Another eaptive of this great ChrUtma djloaioa^ Tber* foagflfrt*'Tar- Is he going* To destroy Christiana. He wants no better play spell than to stand and watch the hats and coats of the murderers who are massacring God's children. There goes the same man, This time be is afoot. Where is he going now? Going on the road to Ostia to die for Christ. They tried to whip It out of him; they tried to scaro it out of him; they thought they would give him enough of It by putting him into a windowleas dungeon and keeping him on small diet, and denying him a cloak, and condemning him as a criminal, and howling at him through the street; but they could not freeze it out of him, and they could not sweat it out of him, and they could not pound it out of him, so they tried the surgery of the sword, and one summer day in 6G he was decapitated. Perhaps the mightiest intellect of the 6,000 years of the world's existence hoodwinked, cheated, cajoled, duped by the Christian religion. Ah! that is the remarkable thing about this delusion of Christianity—It overpowers the strongest intellects. Gather the critics, secular and religious, of this century together, and put a vote to them as to which in the greatest book ever written, and by large majority they will say "Paradise Lost." Who wrote "Paradise Lost"? ^ue of the fools who believed In the Bible— John Milton. Benjamin Franklin surrendered to this delusion, if you may judge from the letter that he wrote to Thomas Paine, begging him to destroy the "Age of Reason" in manuscript, and never let it go into type; and writing afterward, In his old days: "Of this Jesus of Nazareth I have to say that the system of morals he left, and the religion he has given us are the best things the world has seen or Is likely to see." Patrick Henry, the electric champion of liberty, was enslaved by this delusion, so that he says: "The book worth all other books put together is the Bible." Benjamin Rush, the leading physiologist and anatomist of his day, the great medical scientist—what did he say? "The only true and perfect religion is Christianity." Isaac Newton, the leading philosopher of his time—what did he say? That man, surrendering to this delusion of the Christian religion, cried out: "The sublimest philosophy on earth is the philosophy of the gospel." David Brewster, at the pronuname every sciential lasting blank, obliteration! Why not present all that beautiful doctrine to the dying, Instead of coming with this hoax, this swindle of the Christian religion, and filling the dying man with anticipations of another life, until some *n the lost hour have clapped their hands, and some have shouted, and some have sung, and some have been so overwrought with joy that they could only look ecstatic. Palace gates opening, they thought—diamond coronets flashing, hands beckoning, orchestras sounding. Little children dying actually believing they saw their departed "parents, so that although the little children had been so weak and gTOMA^t-LIIM STEEL turn on their dying pillow, at .the last, in a paroxysm of rapture uncontrollable, they sprang to their feet and shouted: "Mother, catch me; I am coming." • « • The strong conclusion of every reasonable man and woman is that Christianity, producing such grand results, cannot be a delusion, A lie, a cheat, a swindle, a hallucination cannot launch such a glory of the centuries. Your logic and your common senco convince you that a bad cause cannot produce an illustrious result; out of the womb of such a monster no such angel can be born. There are many who began with thinking that the Christian religion was a stupid farce who have come to the conclusion that it Is a reality. Why are you in the Lord's house today?

Physicians i a y that Davis' case was the most remarkable that has ever come to their knowledge. He was committed to the asylum from Sauk county, having been picked up by the police in Baraboo on account of his queer actions. He was received at the asylum early last August after having spent a couple of weeks in the Baraboo Jail. Shortly before he died he told the hospital physicians that while in the jail he had swallowed all the nails and wire he could get hold of, partly because he had an uncontrollable appetite for them and partly because he wanted to kill himself. The physicians would not believe him and, being accustomed to, hearing all sorts of strange stories, attributed his odd tale to his diseased mind. It was only after he became so emaciated that ho could your head In the opening prayer?

Why, when I tell you of the ending of all trials In the bosom of God, do there stand tears in your eyes—not tears of grief, but tears of joy such as stand in the eyes of homesick children far away at school when some one talks to them about going home? Why is it that you can be so calmly submissive to the death of your loved one, about whose departure you once were so angry and so rebellious? There Is something the matter with you. All your friends have found out there is a great change. And if some of you would give your experience you would give it In scholarly style, and others giving their experience would give it In broken style, but the one experience'would be just as good as the other.

You are Scientific and you are scholarly, and yet if I should ask you, "What is the most sensible thing you ever did?" you would say: "The most sensible thing I ever did was to give my heart tc God." But there may be others who have not had early advantages, and if they the world over uncovers his head—David Brewster saying, "Oh, this religion has been a great light to me—a very great light all my days."

Gladstone, the strongest intellect in England, unable to resist this chimera, this fallacy, this delusion of the Christian religion, went to the house of God every Sabbath, and often at the invitation of the rector read the prayers to the people. If those mighty intellects are overborne' by this delusion, what chance is there for you and for me? * * * The cannibals in south sea, the bushmen of Terra del Fuego, the wild men of Australia, putting down the knives of their cruelty, and clothing themselves In decent apparel—-aill under the power of this delusion. Judson and Doty and Abeel and Campbell and W1K Hams and the three thousand missionaries, of the cross turning their backs on home and civilization and comfort, and going out amid the squalor of heathenism to relieve it, to save it, to help it, toiling until they dropped into their graves, dying with no earthly comfort about them, and going Into graves with no appropriate epitaph, when they might have lived in this country, and lived for themselves, and lived luxuriously, and been at last put iajto .brilliant sepulCrbers. What a delusion! Yea, this delusion of the Christian religion shoits itself in the fact that It goes to those who are in trouble. Now, It is bad enough to cheat a man when he is well and when he is prosperous; but this religion comes to a man when he is Rick, and says: "You will be well again after a while; you are going into a land where there are no coughs and no pleurisies and no consumptions and no languishing; take courage and bear up." Yes, this awful chimera of the gospel comes to the poor and it says to them: "You are on your way to vast estates and to dividends always declarable." This delusion of Christianity comes to the bereit and it talks'of reunion before the throne, and of the cessation of all sorrow,. And then, to show that this de* luslon will stop at absolutely nothing, it goes to the dying bed and fills the man with .anticipations. How much better It would be to have him die without any more hope than swine and rats and snakes! Shovel him under! That is all. Nothing more left of him. He will never know anything again. Shovel him under!

He said, 'There are a good many religions, and I th'nk the most of them are delusions; as to the Christian religion, that is only a notion—that, is a mere notion, the Christian religion.' I said to him: "Stranger, you see that tavern over there?' 'Yes,' he said, 'I see it.' 'Don't you see me?' 'Yes, of course I see you.' 'Now, the time was whj&h everybody in this town knows. If I had a quarter of a dollar in. my pocket I could not pass that tavern without going in and getting a drink; all the people of Jefferson could not keep me out of that place; but*God has changed my heart, and the Lord Jesus Christ has destroyed my thirst for strong drink, and there is my whole week's wages, and I have no 'temptation to go in there; and, stranger, if this Is a notion, I want to tell you it is a mighty powerful notion; it is a notion that has put clothes on my children's backs, and it is a notion that has put good food on our table, and it is a notion that has filled my mouth with thanksgiving to God. And, stranger, you had better go along with me; you might got religion, too; lots of people are getting religion now.'" Well, wfe will soon understand It all. Tour life and mine will soon be over.

Photographs of Poatmastort. Chicago, Record: Postmaster Gordon has presented to the Chicago postoffice a collection of photographs of the postmasters of Chicago, accompanied by a biographical sketch of each. The only photograph missing is that of Jonathan Nash Bailey, Chicago's first postmaster, who, as far as can be learned, never sat for a picture. The pictures are thirteen by eleven inches in size, and, with the sketches, fill a frame five and one-half by seventeen feet The art work is sepia, and the frame Is made of mahogany from the old poetofflce. The first postmaster ot Chicago was appointed In 18SL In the 68 years since 22 men have filled the place. Including the present incumbent, A majority of them have regarding the hardware within him. Finally a careful examination of Davis' body was made and the outline of the nails within the intestines was detected through the abdominal walV The foreign substances in the stomach and intestines had disturbed digestion slightly during the first few months of Davis' confinement in the hospital, and this fact, with the remarkably rugged constitution of the patient, made the physicians discredit hJLa story about having too much iron in the system. However, when the doctors became convinced that there were some foreign substances in the abdomen they determined on an operation. It was performed by Dr. William B. Lyman, superintendent of the hospital, and his assistants, Drs. M. F. Clark and Eugene Chaney. They performed been military men, and several proml • neatly identified with the newspaper j jbufti&Mi what is known as the operation of gastronomy, the stomach beinj opened at the pyloric extremity. The revelations of the surgeons' knives were simply astounding. There, in folds of the stomach and Intestines were Imbedded two dozens nails of all slzG3, from a tack to a twenty-penny spike, ten -pieces of wl*e of4ifferent-sizes-and lengths and two pocketknife blades. The spike, which was six inches long, had passed out of the stomach and lodged crossways in the intestines, causing the latter to adhere to the abdominal walls and forming a sort of dam which prevented the smaller nails and pieces of wire from leaving the stomach. The stomach and intestines were perforated by the nails, the pressure from the sharp pieces of Iron causing an advanced state of ulceration. Though Davis had told the doctors he had also eatgn some pebbles, none were found. The terrible condition of the stomach and Intestines indicated, that the man had slight-chance of recov.ery. After taking out the nails and other pieces of iron, the doctors stitched up the stomach, but Davis never rallied and died about eight hours later. The body was buried in the potter's field, near the asylum. Davis had been on a prolonged debauch just before his arrest at Baraboo. It was while he was in this condition that he was arrested and thrown into the Baraboo jail, thus being deprived of any chance whatever of getting what his system most craved. The first day he was in Jail he happened to pick up an old rusty nail and put it into his mouth. The taste of the corroded iron seemed to have a pleasant and soothing effect and finally Davis swallowed the piece of metal. This relieved him for a short time, but the old craving returned and Davis hunted up another nail. This he also ate, with twenty-two others, at intervals later. Running out of nails, he began to swallow short pieces of wire, the next best thing. His suppy of wire also gave out, and at last he took a small pocketknife and breaking out both ,bades swallowed them. This completely exhausted his supply of meVal, he .afterward confessed p> the doctors, and he went to eating small pebbles and pieces of plaster.

Xavire Byma, a Frenchman, who tame to this country In 1847, wrote an article la L'lllustraUon of Paris, published July 22,1848, giving his experiences on the railroads of the United # States. He says that at that time the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad had a length of seventy leagues and that the coct of the road was 4»U6,744 francs, the receipts 3,988,456 francs and expenses 1,964,741 francs. He also gives considerable space to the interior arrangements of the sleeping cars used at that time and says that, "they are actually houses where nothing is lacking for the necessity of life and are divided into compartments and sleeping rooms, some for men and some for women." Each room held six beds or rather little couches in three tiers along the sides. He winds up his account by saying that valuables were not particularly well taken care of, as in America there "were no such things as sneak thieves." In the 'Good Old Duya.' The fashionable folk at the court of King Edward IV. of England rose with the lark, despatched their dinner at 11 o'clock, and shortly after 8 were wrapped in slumber. In the Northumberland House Book for 1512 it is set forth that the family rose at 6 in the morning, breakfasted at 7, dined at 10 and supped at 4 in the afternoon. Tne gates were all shut at nine, and no further ingress or egress permitted. In 1570, at the University of Oxford, it was usual ,to dine at 11-o'clock, and sUp at 5 in the afternoon.

"Wen, children, would you like to go tonight to the Salon Blanc?" "Yes, yes, papa; how delightful!" shouted a chorus of merry voices. "And you, Claudlne, will you come?" And the father of the family turned to his eldest daughter, a bright-looking brunette of 18, who bad been crossed Jn loy^e. 'I shotrld like very much to go to the Stllon B l a n e ^ m u c h to his surprise. And then she Tan-up stairs after the o/hers to wTap up. Claudlne was only 18; thus alacrity apo»t a fete ought not to have surprlsed\ any one; but she was what Is called y'crossed in love," and for the last three months had taken no interest in her surroundings. M. Bertel, who was a retired lawyer, and very well off, objected to a young man called Louis Gavron, to whom Claudine had given her heart, simply because he had artistic proclivities. Snow had fallen all over Belgium, but in Brussels for two days the air had been clear and frosty! the snow in the park having become quite hard, a snow fete for the poor had been organized— a night fete, too, and in the open air. "Claudlne, I am glad we came," he cried. "Yes, children, of course you can go on the ice; no fear of falling In. Ha! he. Only leave us in peace to look at the groups. Ah, you are looking at the cave with the fortune teller, Claudine, and the young oeauty coming to learn her fate. Excellent, most excellent! I declare it is the best of all." "The sculptor who is responsible for that cave has received the gold medal," announced a voice just behind them, M. Bertel looked around and saw one of his most intimate friends. "Well, he deserves it. Who is he? I should like to make his acquaintance," he said. "Louis Gavron," replied the other, briefly. "Impossible! That young fool who —no, I cannot believe it. And the medal, too? No, no; you are playing a practical Joke on me, Devoost." "Not I. Young Gavron has an immense amount of talent, if you would only believe it." "Louis Gavron—the gold medal!" repeated M. Bertel. It was the gold medal that overcame him. He turned _to see what Claudlne' thought of the matter, but Claudine had disappeared. "She is talking to my wife—at leas. "THIS IS THE WAY YOU BEHAVE WHEN I AM ABSENT." she was a second or two ago," said Devoost. And then he Inveigled M. Bertel into an animated discussion on the politics of the country?. Louis Gavron was his cousin, and Mme. Deyoost's companion when she met Claudine was Louis Gavron himself. He had stood carefully in shadow so as not to be recognized by M. Bertel. Meantime, not a word of the old man's eulogies on his work had escaped him. Dearly as Louis Gavron prized the gold medal, he prized those words of praise from Claudine's father ten times more. "Ma cherie, my beautiful one," he murmured; "did you hear what your father said about my work?" "I am so glad you have that gold medal, Louis. Father will think so much of it. It will almost make him —well, I dare scarcely hope, and yet I do. Oh, blessed Salon Blanc, not only will it benefit the poor, but the poor in heart, like ourselves, will be rejoiced." "Dearest!" They walked along for a few seconds. Then Louis Gavron whispered: "My cousin Devoost has promised to put in a good word for me with your father." At this moment they came upon the family party. M. Bertel's brow contracted when he saw by whom his daughter was accompanied, but he said, a little stiffly: "I must congratulate you, M. Gavron, on your success. The medal you have gained Is, 1 hope, only t'he first of a long series of art triumphs." , Louis Gavron bowed and thanked him, and then the Uertels went home, never a word more being iiald about Lcuis Gavron or their meeting witt him. About 10 o'clock the next day Devoost arrived. "Hurrah for the Salon Blanc!" he shouted. "May they have one every winter if It brings about such good resu!**.** "Whyj Devoost,what has happened?" asked M>Bertel. "Have the poor got a bigger sum than you expected?" "Confound the poor—no, I didn't mean that; but Louis Gavron's fortune is made. Two orders, mon cher, and big ones, too, all owing to the fortune teller's cave. Look here, Bertel, don't you be the only blind-folded individual in Belgium." "What can I do? I am not rich enough to order a statue." M. Bertel knew'quite well what was expected of him, but to pretend to do so would be to give up without a struggle. He gave up the fight, however, when Claudine threw herself on his neck and kissed him as she whispered: "Father, now you have seen he can work you will no longer refuse your consent?" "Of course he won't," cried Devoost. "Come and kiss me, too, Claudine, and receive my congratulations." An hour or two later, when Claudlne wa3 alone, there was a very different expression on her face to the sorrowful one that had lingered there o'. late. Even while she was thinking of this there was a light footfall on the stair. "Louis! You here? How did you know that you might come?" He laughed. "Good news files swiftly, you see. M. Devoost $ald that you had something to tell me." "M. Devoost is a dear. If it had not been for M. Devoost I doUbt if even the fortune teller's cave would have dene any good. "He is a true friend a3 well as a relative," said Louis. "Is is through his influence that I have got two important orders, and he told me only this morning that as he has no children of his own, he looks on me as his son and will meet M. Bertel's views in the matter of an allowance." "Oh, Louis!" And so overcome by emotion was happy Claudine that she looked as if she were going to faint. This, of course, necessitated that Louis should take her in his arms, and there she was when the door unexpectedly opened and her father came into the room. "So, so. This is the way you behave when I am absent. 'When the cat's away,' otc." W e e k l y Crop B u l l e t i n , According to the weekly report of the Michigan weather bulletin the temperature for the state during the past week was *iS degrees, or one degree above normal; the average total precipitation 0.44 of an inch, or 0.00 of an inch below normal; and the sun* shine averaged t>2 per cent of the possible amount. Generally the weather has been dry and h o t The lack of moisture has been felt the most in the southern counties, where pastures are rapidly drying up and corn has rolled considerably. In these counties clso the ground has been too dry for f.\ll plowing. Corn, beans and late potatoes are, however, in generally good condition and have made fair progress during the past seven days. The present condition of corn indicates that it will be safe from froat about Sept 10 in the southern counties, and about Sept 15 in the central and northern counties. Beans are beginning to ripen. The oat harvest is very near completion in most counties, and the bulk of the crop has been well secured. Sugar beets continue to grow finely and are in promising condition. Pain Conqucrcdi Health Re* stored by Lydia E. Pink* But though he tried to speak sternly there was a break In his voice. He, too, hud seen Devoost that morning, and they had corre to terms on thr •subject cf ways and mean3. It*amused him, then, rather than angered him, to see the frightened, shy manner in wfrich the Movers -rushed—away_lrQm each other, looking imploringly at him the while, as thouga to beg for forgiveness. The ordeal did not last long, for Claudine noticed a glimmering twinkle In his eye and instantly took advantage of it to kiss him and tell him that he had promised her to accept Louis for his son-in-law. And so, even the contretemps of daring to make love before M. Bertel's formal consent had been given was at last overcome, and among all the people who visited the Salon Blanc on that crisp January night there was not a happier couple than brown-eyed Claudine and Louis.—Lloyd's Weekly. T h e Trl-State B a n d Convention. The Tri-State Band association, including Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, held their annual convention in Detroit on Aug. 16th and 17th. Nearly 75 bands from the above states and Ontario made music galore while in the city. It was a big event for Detroit, and in addition to the music makers the printers from all over the U. S. were there, the florists were there, and many visitors from far and near were there. The1 bands gave concerts at the various parks about the city on the afternoon and evening of the first day, and on the second day occurred the parade, in which all the bands unitedly played familiar airs, making noise enough to be heard for miles. After the parade the balance of the day was spent at Belle Isle park, where thousands listened to a fine musical program. H a n and Wife Terribly Whipped. Peter Larsen and wife, of Lee township, Midland county, started a suit for damages at Midland on the 12th by swearing out warrants for 11 of their. neighbors charging them with assault It is charged that some time in April a party composed of the 11 for whom warrants were issued and others went to Larsen's house and took him and his wife out and gave them a terrible whipping with blue beech whips. The The reason for whipping them is the alleged actions of Mrs. Larson. — n ^ y a n a - J l o h S o o g n t a W«f*-Be-\ter.

In an English newspaper of the date of Jan. 16, 1797, appears the following: "John Hetherington, haberdasher, of the Strand", was arraigned before the lord mayor yesterday on the charge of breach of ttte peaee and inciting a riot, and was required to give -bond in the sum of £500. It was in evidence that Mr. Hetherington, who Is well connected, appeared upon the public highway, wearing upon his head what he called a silk hat (which was offered in evidence), a tall structure having a shining luster and calculated to frighten timid people. A s a matter of fact, the officers of the crown stated that several women fainted at the unusual sight, while children screamed, dogs yelped, and a young son of Cordwainer Thomas, who was returning from a chandler's shop, was thrown down by the crowd which had collected and had his right arm broken. For these reaspns the defendant was seized by the guards and taken before the lord mayor. In extenuation of his crime defendant claimed he had not violated any law of the kingdom, bat was merely exercising a right to appear in a headdress of hid own design —a right not denied to any Englishman."

Luke White, the father of the first Lord Anmtly, was a poor Manxman who had drifted to Dublin to serve Dehind the counter of a bookseller's shop. In the hope of adding to his scanty earnings he bought a number of lottery tickets for sale, but found himself unable to dispose of thorn all. At the last moment he uectdefl to send the unsold tickets to Belfast, in the hope of finding a better market there; but when the coach had been a day on its journey he received a letter Informing him that the despised tickets had won valuable prizes. Although the news came in the dead of night, Luke White got up immediately, saddled a horse, and raced madly in chase of the coach. He rode through the night and the whole of the. following day, and overtook the coach within a few miles of Belfast. He rescued the bundle of tickets and, returning home, exchanged them for priz.es of the value of $100,000. An amusing story is told of a wicked trick which fortune played a short time ago on a lady. The lady and her husband, who were traveling, called at the shop of a country draper to make a few purchases. They were j about to leave the shop, when an at- ) tractive bonnet arreted the lady's atj tention, and she induced her husband to buy It for her. When it came to payment, however, the husband found, to his dismay, that he had not sufficient money to pay for it. In this dilemma he offered the draper an eighth share ticket in a Hermanlottery which he had in his pur.se, and finally induced liirn to" accept itf in part payment. A few days later the lady learned, to her disgust, that the lottery ticket had won an eighth of 575,000. and that her' "darling bonnet" had thus cost her the ueurd price of nearly $9,500. '.V vas a happy I n f l a t i o n t.nt terrp ed a young lieutenant on the Italian battleship Lepacto to turn hla attention to the Spanish Christmas lottery a couple of years aj?o. The ship was cruising off the coast of Spain, and it occurred to the lieutenant to ;-i<i'«ee all on bc^rd. from canti- in to (••'bh' boy, to loin In p-irch-T-'n-: ;;. ;o'icy ticket. The ticket was bought, and. to the delight of all, was fortunate enough to win the first prize of $lf>f.,000, which was divided among the lucky owners on Christmas Day. A very curious piece of good fortune fell last year to the lot of a poor widow who kept a small shop in a suburb of Berlin. One evening aa she waV serving a customer a working man stepped into the SHOD and begeed permission to light his pine. Drawing a piece of paper from MB pocket, he twisted it up, lit it at tlte gas let. and, after lighting his pipe, threw down the spill and walked out with a word of thanks. When sweeping the floor the next morning the widow took up the charred paper out of idle curiosity, and, unfolding it, saw that It was a lottery ticket, only a fraction of which had been burnt. She folded it up, put it away in her pocket, and had almost forgotten tt, when the result of a large j lottery drawing caught her eye in the \ paper.

'CONCISE AND INTERESTING, A Burglar While Operation in Boyal 4>*k Came ID Contact With a 33- CeJlbre Bullet — Mlnden City t'arenta Uee Cruel Treatment for Punishment. Weekly Crop Oullatto. T h e w e e k l y crop report issued from t h e U n i t e d States weather office tells a d i s t r e s s i n g talc of drought throughout t h e state. T h e report says: The first t h r e e d a y s of the week were cool w i t h l i g h t frosts tn some of the upper peni n s u l a a n d t h e northern counties of t h e l o w e r peninsula; the last four days w e r e very warm. Moderately heavy • s h o w e r s occurred in portions of the u p p e r peninsula, but not a drop of rain i s reported from any station in the t o w e r peninsula; generally the weather h a s been hot and dry, and this cond i t i o n w a s intensified by the nearly -cloudless s k i e s t h a t have prevailed tnoat of t h e week. T h e effect ou corn, l a t e potatoes, beans and pastures in t h e s o u t h e r n half of the state has been v o r y detrimental; in the principal agric u l t u r a l counties of the lower penins u l a corn and beans are drying up and r i p e n i n g prematurely. Pastures are • e r y b r o w n and late potatoes are n e a r l y at a standstill. Many farmers h a v e been c u t t i n g their corn in order t o save it for fodder, and beans have ripened prematurely and their harvest a l r e a d y begun in some counties. Fall p l o w i n g is fairly well advanced in the central and southern counties, but the parched soil has brought much of this w o r k t o a standstill and farmers are w a i t i n g for rain before resuming preparations for the seeding of fall wheat a n d rye: Rain is therefore very much needed in nearly every county of the l o w e r peninsula. In the upper penins u l a the conditions have been generally favorable and crops have made good progress. . . e - • • - Vcrgler Shot In Royal Oak.

Not so w i t h Mr. Wilcox's gun, as he succeeded in p l a n t i n g a 38 calibre bullet in the back of his intruder, which subseq u e n t l y led to his capture.

The tirst attempt occurred 011 the l'.Uli, w h e n Keebler's 13- year-old boy discovered the house on tire and extinguished it. Coai oil had been applied to the clapboards. On the 21st the boy w h i l e on watch discovered a man trying to set the barn on tire and shot nt him. The man returned the fire with a revolver and fled into a nearby cornfield. The kerosene had this time been applied to the sweatpad of a harness 11 ud which he w a s attempting to ignite when discovered. Blood was found in such quantities to prove that the boy's aim had been careful. Keebler is a prosperous and respected farmer aud why such a dastardly attempt should be made to destroy his property is a mystery. • • Wanted to Drive Out the Devil. On the IDth Mr. and Mrs. George Copeland, who live four miles from Minden City, were arrested and lodged in jail at Sanilac Center on the charge of ill-treating their 8-year-old daughter. Before making the arrests the officers discovered that the child had repeatedly been lied up in an out-house and left there for several days and nights; also that the little girl had been tied up and left, in the cellar for five days. The child showed marks of ill-usage, and told a very pitiful story. When questioned as to the cause of her ill-treatment, the little one said that her mother told her that she was very wicked and possessed of the devil and must be punished. T. II.

"I haven*': the least fear," Major Delator^. "Then you're a man of unbounded courage," retorted his friend, Ulysses Crinklethorpe. "For—may I venture to be frank?" "Oh, certainly! By all means." "Well, then, they do say thatf Mrs. Flashington drove her first husband Into bis grave by ungovernable temper." "I've heard that before," said MaJ. Delaford, puffing complacently away at bis cigar. "But, of course," with ia sarcastic laugh, "you don't believe It?" "'Bxcuso me," said MaJ. Deleford, seftrely, "I do believe It I have seen, now and then, an expression in Justina's eyes which fully carries out any theory of that nature." "And yet you are going to marry her?" "And yet I am going to marry bar." "Felix Delaford, are you crazy?" "Not that I am aware of." "Will you be honest with me?" "To be sure," nodded the major.. "Then, why do you marry Mr3. Flashington?" "Well, from a variety of reasons. One Is that I like her. She's a pretty little gypsy, with a skin lilce whits relvet, and delicious long lashes to her eyes!" "Proceed." "A second is—mind, now, I never did pretend to be one of the (disinterested lovers one reads about in dime novels —that the dear, departed Flashington left her remarkably weTl off. And I have more merit than money." "I think you will rcpenl it;" said "Mr. Crinkletiiorpe, "for, by all accounts, the black-eyed divinity is neither more nor less than "There are very few actions tn this world that one doesn't repent, In, a greater or Joes degree/" said Maj. Delaford, sententlonsly, "but, averaging things, I'm willing to risk it." And Maj. Delaford was married the next week to Mrs. Flashington. It was not long, as Mr. Crinklethrope .eft" another plan, and scolded steadily fcr three days. "I<ook, here, Justy, this won't do," said the major, at the week'3 end. "I don't fancy either a dumb woman or a fury!" "That I should live to be BO spoken to," whimpered Mrs. Delaford. "So," went on the major, "I have written to my cousin, Rosamond Bly, to come and spend the summer here." "I won't have her in my house!" shrieked the bride. "Bat I will have her in mine," composedly retorted the husband. Vbet me see her presume to enter this house!" cried Justlna. "Let me see you presume to be uncivil to her," said the major, knitting his brows in a way that Mrs. Delaford had never sees in her late husband's •countenance. For, to tell the truth, the late Mr. Flashington had been but a chicken-hearted Individual at best. Mrs. Delaford flounced out of the room and banged the door viciously •behind her. Miss Bly arrived the next day—a cheery-cheeked, bright-eyed girl, with lips wreathed in smiles, and a brandnew traveling suit cut after a deal prettier pattern than the bride's own. Mrs. Delaford refused to speak to her. "Justina." said her husband, in a •warning voice, "this is my cousin, Rosamond. I hope you will make her welcome to our home." But Mrs. Delaford only threw a sllp- 'per at her husband, burst into tears, -and ran hysterically upstairs. "Oh, Felix! what's the matter?" asked Rosamond, half-frightened out of her senses. "Had I better go home?" "By no means, my dear Rosamond," said the major. "You see, I have married a woman with a temper. But she'll be all the more charming when that fault is rooted out of her character." The major went upstairs and tried to open the door. It was locked. "Justlna." he said, gently, "it is I. Let me in." "I won't snapped the bride. "Will you come downstairs, then?" "I will not come out of my room una frightened sort of way to his arm. "How do you feel now, my dear?" he asked, solicitously. "Pm well enough," snarled Mrs. Delaford. "Open that door quick!" "Mad! Very mad, Indeed!" said MaJ. Delaford, in sotto voce, turning to Rosamond. "Ruffian!" cried the bride, "how dare you speak so?" "Getting violent!" added the major, shaking his head. "Let me out, I say!" persisted Mrs. Delaford, rattling at the bars. "What does this absurd mummery mean?" "Perhaps a strait waistcoat would be advisable," said the major. "But as long as she remains tolerably manageable I shall not send her to an asylum," Mrs. Delaford began to cry. "Oh, Felix, how can you talk so?" sobbed she. "I am as sane as you are." "Poor thing!" murmured the major, compassionately. "The hardest part of Insanity must be when one becomes partially conscious of its deadly doom." Mrs. Delaford shut the door rather vehemently and began to cry hysterically. "I'm not mad!" said she. "I won't be made a madwoman of!" But how to help herself—that was the question. The door was barred effectually—the windows opened upon the dead wall of a neighboring Institute of the Fine arts, and were three stories above ground. She might have shrieked herself hoarse in that direction before any one could hear her. She sat down to think. What should she do? What was to become of her? Did that dreadful hint of Felix concerning an asylum mean anything? For once in her life Mrs. Flashington was actually frightened. "Has my temper really been so terrible," she asked herself, "that people mistake it for—I can hardly breathe the word—insanity?" It was a new idea; she pondered over it carefully and cried bitteily over it. When Hetty came, as usual, with the napkin-covered tray, Mrs. Delafbrd'a face was pale and tear-swollen. "Hetty," said she, "will you ask your master to step "up here for a few minutes?" Maj. Delaford obeyed the summons at once. "Well, my love," said he, "what is it?" "Felix," said Mrs. Delaford, bursting into fresh tears, "I have acted very foolishly. I beg your pardon. And I beg Rosamond's pardon, too." MaJ.~Detaford opened—the—grated door at once—Justina flew into his arms—and then there was a reconciliation after the most approved style. -Mrs, Delaford was a s sweet as A m e r i c a n M r a U In Germany. American meats are indeed having a bard time in the German empire, due to the fact that the German farmers and their friends throughout the country take every oportunity to prevent the sale of such meats. It Is not practicable for them to get a law of actual prohibition passed, as they are unable to prove that American meats are dangerous to the health of the people, but they insist on such restrictions being made that the sale of the meats takes place under great difficulties and frequently Is made so expensive that the buyers refuse it for that reason alone. United States Consul Barnes of Cologne says: "I learn that, for the last fifteen years, there were officially confirmed in the kingdom of Prussia 3,003 cases of illness from trichinae, 207 of which resulted in death. Of these total numbers there could be traced to the eating of European meats, examined in Germany and found to be free from trichinae, 1,242 cases and 102 deaths. The remaining cases could also be traced to European meat, but meat that had not been examined. In not one of the above cases could it be proved that the disease resulted from the use of American salted, pickled or tinned meat, or of smoked sausage. This statement holds good for all Germany. » * * When in 1891 the edict against sausage and pork products from America was canceled, no inspection of sausage or pickled pork was required until July 1, 1898. Since then both products are subject to inspection. This will result in the absolute exclusion of sausage and pickled pork or boneless hams from the German market. In the case of baneles3 hams the cost of inspection amounts to $3.57 per 220 English pounds. Add to this the duty, which is $S.33 on 220 pounds of meat, and it is*seen that the cost amounts to prohibition. * * * As regards the inspection of American sausage, I learn that three pieces are taken for Inspection purposes from every two pounds of sausage. By this means the sausage is much injured, if not entirely ruined for selling purposes, inasmuch as this process not only has a tendency to cause the meat to become dry and hard, but the meat bears plain evidences of having been inspected, which is not a very flattering testimonial as to its value for food. On the other hand, German sausagi is subjected to no such inspection afte! it is in shape for selling, as it is inspected before it is made up into commercial form or put on the market.* y » "For the Sake .of Fan Mischief is Done* A vast amount of mischief is done, too, because people neglect to keep their btocxf mire* Jt appears in eruptions, dyspepsia* indigestion* nervousness, kidney diseases* and other ailments.

A clergyman of Georgia was once standing In the courthouse when a Hoosier came in to see the ordinary in pereoBT to procure a marriage license. The coontryman asked for a "pair of licenses," and on making the purchase necessary to being united in the holy bonds of matrimony inquired of the ordinary: "Who can I git to marry me?" The ordinary replied that he could perform the ceremony, or the parson, standing near, would probably accommodate him. The countryman ttfrned to the parson and asked if he would marry him. The parson readily consented and asked the would-be bridegroom: Where's your gal?** He replied: "Out yondeT— in * the street." The parson said, "Fetch her in.** Then she was "fotch" in and the "knot tied.

Good care, ample food and judicious exercise are the essentials at this time. By ample food is not meant over-feeding. Some grain should be fed during the summer, but not so much that the little fellow will bo indisposed to eat freely of grass or other bulky food, for the latter is necessary to the proper development of his stomach and digestive organs. Two pounds of oats a day should be given to the colt after weaning, and he should be allowed to learn to eat some even before weaning. Vary the grain feed with barley or even corn; and if occasionally ground grain in a thick slop is given the effect will be good. But this feeding should be moderate, and not' calculated to develop overmuch fat. Exercise the colt should have, but that, too, temperately. Over-exertion would be astbad for the colt as no exertion. It is well, also, to begin breaking or educating the colt at an early age. Secure its confidence by kind treatment and gentle words, accustom It to strange sights, to sudden noises and other alarming; things, enough to teach it that they are not dangerous, and so begin to develop the mind as well as the body of the horse.that you want to see command a good price later on.

Th* Confederates were beyond rifle t«hot. lut they opft.pd on us with artillery, and tbey did ev or lastingly plow up the groin: rl with shot and shell.

C round Paris which are probably unequaled for the purposes for which they are Intended by any similar fortifications in the world. A well-informed military writer, a niPxLtr of the general staff of the ^etuijn ar-n/, has given It as his op1r>'' n that a *ucr**Bful selge of Paris would \". unler present conditions, an impossible undertaking. The new fortifications that surround •he French capital, says Pearson's, are some fifteen or twenty mi>« fi om the city, and are connected with Paris and with each other by a railway system, which would enable the French commander to ouickly mass at one point a Very large body of men. while the general of the besieging army, if he wisheti to n.-evpnt ihe city from obtaining supplies and thus shut up the people and the army that was deforcing it. would have to occupy a line extending more than one hundred, miles and hence could not by any possibility collect a large number of his force at any one point to resist with even a shadow of hope an attack of the enemy. It required a German army of, approximately ,500,000 men to lay s/ege to Paris from September 19, 1870, to January 30, 1871; but the authority we refer to is of the opinion that to repeat the same operation a German besieging, army would have to number more than 2.000,000 men, and the work of maintaining such a force and properly handling its parts would be something which few governments would care to undertake and few military comr-Vanders would be able to efficiently perform. The French have spent upon these nfw fortifications an amount variously estimated at from $30,000,000 to $50.- Oro.f'00, and hence can well afford to se',1 the land occupied by some of the now obsolete fortifications of a generation ago. anchi e ' r ' ' P' A reel out of * l o i r f i ^ ' V ^ :i V< ; hur c ' m i i ~ e,T : vr. m e n huiul'•< <\ cs crn J o i ' - i r !

There Is no use trying to keep In confinement a curious little creature known as the metal-cutting beetle. Not long ago an entomologist caught one of these beetles and. unaware of its peculiar ability for sawing through anything in its way, put it in a cardboard box. Soon tiri-g of solitary confinement. or probably thinking its cap- : tor had forgotten to provide it with a door, the beetle cut one for itself and ' crawled out. ! It was cap-lured and put in a wooden box, and as soon as the novelty of us new home wore off. again the persevering insect cut a hole in the box and escaped. The next time tb* escaped prisoner was caught it was put in a small glass . jar with a tight-fitting pewter cover, punctured to let in air.' But the metal cutting beetle from Mexico scorned to live in a pepper box and gnawed a ho'e big enough to allow it to creep out into the big world again. And this time. ! it was not caught.

'The Eye Cannot Say Unto tl»» Hand: I Have No Neod of Thee"—From the First' Book of Corinthian*, Chapter IS) T e n * 81. William Waldorf Astor has formally renounced all allegiance to the stars and stripes and sworn to stand firm forever beneath the British flag. America will doubtless recover from the blow in time, but the sufferings of England deserve our earnest sympathy. Benedict Arnold renounced - allegiance to this country and in favor of England quite a number of years ago, eo Mr. Astor is not particularly quick at doing good. Kaiser Wilhelm avers that a collection of big navies would be the most t effective peace conference the world has ever seen—that each power should have a navy so large that none of the other powers would dare to risk an attack upon so formidable an adversary. If the plans now being carried out for the strengthening of the American navy go through successfully, this country will be a decided factor in the kaisers' theory of universal peace. There is a volume of suggestion in an exclamation of an old woman, given by & correspondent of the Boston Transcript, in the following paragraph: "This is the season when some effort is made to get the less fortunate classes out of the torrid and sordid slums and into God's open spaces. Upon one of these 'fresh air* excursions jwas an old woman who was given her first vTew~6T The-oceaur had a pretty pinched time all her life, I guess, for as she looked over the great expanse of water she exclaimed, fervently, 'Well, thank God for something there's enough of!'

Ex-Queen LHinokalani says the Hawaiian islands are "in a state of practical anarchy," the government being in the hands of an oligarchy and the rights of the native Hawaiians not respected. The ex-qucen is scarcely an Impartial observer. Anarchy undoubtedly prevails in so far as her ex-highness is concerned, but other observers give a very different account of conditions en the island. As to her own claims for pension, it is pleasant to know that Liliuokalani believes in the "honorable intentions" of the United States government, though she has wisely concluded not to sit on the ateps of the capital at Washington until they are carried out. The government's disposition of the Spanish cruiser "Reina Mercedes" will form ah interesting innovation. It baa been decided not to sell her or to, repair her for i:crvlce, as she is noj worth the expense it would involve, but to put her sufficiently in order to prevent further injury or decay, and then keep har permanently on public exhibition, as a memorial of the war. Hitherto such vessels as "Old Ironsides and the Hartford have been preserved, through eentimeat and a» reminden-of our naval achievements, but now for the nrst time a ship taken In battle la thus to be used. The circumstance will gratify ou* national pride in the prowess of our navy, but we are sure it.will not cause exultation because of our antagonists' humiliation. The Honolulu authorities are considering the advisability of locating a cemetery In the crater of the Punchbowl, an extinct volcano. The only objection thus far offered is that if not osed for ft cemetery it might some day become available for an amusement resort and ^residence section, especially if an adequate water supply could be conveyed to so great a height Says the Hawaiian Gazette: "Everything looks beautiful inside the crater. The kiawe trees are growing well. These and other trees were planted there by the direction of the late King Kalakaua. The lantana flourishes, of course. The view in any and every direction from Punchbowl U well known Co aff foi 111 tharm. A walk from th.fr city to the place would not be a trying undertaking, and the road is better than eter." Fifty thousand workmen In Chicago eeasing work in one day; Brooklyn stunned by the attempt to halt its railroad cars; Cleveland in the throes of a labor agitation, and restlessness among toilers all over the land have caused an epidemic of strikes, and somewhat to better things, I apply the Pauline thought of my text. You have seen an elaborate piece of machinery, with a thousand wheels and a thousand bands and a thousand pulleys all controlled by one great water wheel, the machinery so adjusted that when you jar one part of it you jar all parts of it. Well, human society is a great piece of mechanism controlled by one great and ever-revolving force—the wheel of God's providence. You harm one part of the machinery of society and you harm all parts. All professions interdependent. All trades interdependent. All classes of people interdependent. No such thing as independence. Dives cannot kick Lazarus without hurting his own foot. They who threw Shadrach into the furnace got their own bodies scorched. Or to come back to the figure of the text, what a strange thing it would be If the eye should say, I oversee the entire physical mechanism. I despise the other members of the body, if there is anything I am disgusted with, it is with those miserable, low-lived hands. Or, what if the hand should say, I am the boss workman of the whole physical economy; I have no respect for the other members of the body. If there is anything I despise, it is the eye seated under the dome of the forehead doing nothing but look. I come in and I wave the flag of truce between these two contestants, and I say: "The eye cannot say to the hand, 'I have no need of thee.' " That brings me to the first suggestion; and that is, that Labor and Capital are to be brought to a better understanding by a complete canvass of the whole subject. They will be brought to peace when they find that they are identical in their interest.-;. Wheh one goes "do whTTh eyboTh go down. When one rises, they both rl^e. There will be an equilibrium after awhile. There never was an exception to the rule. That which is good for Every speech that Labor makes against Capital postpones the day of permanent adjustment. Every speech that Capital makes against Labor postpones the day of permanent adjustment. When Capital maligns Labor, it is the eye cursing the hand. When Labor maligns Capital it is the hand cursing the eye. As far as I have observed, the vast majority of capitalists are successful laborers. If the capitalists would draw their gloves, you would see the broken finger nail, the scar of an old blister, the stiffened finger joint. The great publishers of the country for the -most part yere bookbinders, or typesetters, on small pay. The great carriage manufacturers for the most pare sandpapered wagon bodies in wheelwright shops. While, on the other hand, in all our large manufacturing establishments you will find men on wages who once employed a hundred or five hundred hands. The distance between Capital and Labor is not a great gulf over which is swung a Niagara suspension bridge; It is only a step, and the capitalists are crossing over to become laborers, and the laborers are crossing over to become capitalists. Would God they might shake hands while they cross. On the other hand, laborers are the highest style of capitalists. Where are their investments? In banks, No! In the railroads, No! Their nerve, their muscle, their bone, their mechanical skill, their physical health are magnificent capital. He who has two eyes, two ears, two feet, two bands, ten fingers, has machinery that puts into nothingness carpet and screw and cotton factory, and all the other implements on the planet. The capitalists were laborers, the laborers were capitalists. The sooner we understand vhat the better. Again; There is to come relief to the laboring classes of this country through co-operative associations. I am not at this moment speaking of trades unions, but of that plan by which laborers put their surplus together and become their own capitalists. Instead of being dependent upon the beck of this capitalist or that capitalist, they manage their own affairs. In England and Wales there are 813 co-operative associations. « They have 340,000 members; they have a capital of $18,000,000, or what corresponds to our dollars, and they do a business annually of $63,000,000. Thomas Brassey, one of the foremost men in the British parliament on the subject says: "Cooperation is the ode and the only re Is the path," he says, "by which they ere to come up from the hand-to-themuuta ftljie oi l m u s , u> lea.v me rewards and the honors of our advanced civiliratlon." Lord Deroy and John Stuart Mill, who gave half their lives to the study of the labor question, believed in co-operative institutions. The co-operative institution formed in Troy, N. Y., stood long enough to illustrate the fact that great good might come of such an institution, if it were rigntly carried on and mightily developed. "But," says some one, "haven't these institutions sometimes been a failure*" Yes. Every great movement has been a failure at some time. Application of the steam power a failure, electro-telegraphy a failure, railroading a failure, but now the chief successes of the world. "But," says some one, "why talk of surplus being put by laborers into cooperative'associations, when the vast multitude of toilers of this country are struggling for their daily bread, and have no surplus?" I reply: Put into my hand the money spent by the laboring classes of America for rum and tobacco, and I will establish cooperative associations in all parts of this land, some of them mightier than any financial institutions of the country. We spend in this country over $100,000,000 every year for tobacco. We spend over $1,500,000,000, directly | or indirectly, for rum. The laboring classes spend their share of this money. Now, suppose the laboring man who has been expending his money in those directions, should just add up how much he has expended during these past few years, and then suppose that that money was put Into a co-operative association, and then suppose he should have all his friends in toil, who had made the same kind of expenditure, do the same thing, and that should be added up and put into a co-operative association. And then take all that money expended for overdress and over-style and. over-living on the part of toiling people In order that they may appear as well as persons who have more income—gather that all up atfa^-you could have co-operative associations all over this land. I am not saying anything now about 1^^^^..^^0^3,^...^^011. want to know what I thi^ik of trades unions. I think they are mosTTJei^eficial in some directions, and they have a specific object, and in this day, when there are vast monopolies—a thousand monopolies concentring the wefalth cf the peple into the possession7^ of a few men, unlessthe labor Jag^ men_of_jh_ls country and all countries band together they will go under. There is a lawful use of a trade union, but then there is an unlawful use" of a trade union. If it means sympathy in time of sickuess, if it means finding work for people when they are out of work, if it mean3 the improvement of the financial, the -moral cr the religious condition of the laboring classes, that is all right. Do not singers band together in Handel and Haydn societies? Do- not newspaper men band together In press clubs? Do not ministers of religion band together in conferences and associations? There is not in all the land a city where clergymen do not come together, many cf them once a week, to talk over affairs. For these reasons you should not blame labor guilds. When they are doing their legitimate work they are most admirable, but when they come around with drum and fife and flag, and drive people off from their toil, from their scaffoldings, from their factories, then they are nihilistic, then they are communistic, then they are barbaric, then they are a curse. If a man wants to stop work let him stop work, but he cannot stop ms from work. But now suppose that all the laboring classes banded together for beneficent purposes in co-operative association, under whatever name they put their means together. Suppose they take the money that they waste In rum and tobacco, ar.d use it for the elevation of their children, for their moral, Intellectual a i d religious improvement, what a different state of things we would have In this country, and they would have in Great Britain! Do you not realize the fact that men work better without stimulant? You say, "Will you deny the laboring men this help which they get from strong drink, bcrne down as thej are with many anxieties and exhausting work?" I would deny thf.-m npthing that Is good for them. I would deny them strong drink, if I had the power, because it is damaging to them. My father said. "I became a temperance man in early life because I found that in the harvest field, while I was naturally weaker than the other men, I could hold out longer than any of them; they took stimulant and I took none." Everybody knows thoy cannot endure great fatigue—men who Indulge in stimulants. All our young men understand that. When they are preparing for the regatta, or the ball club, or the athletic wrestling, they abstain from strong drink. Now, suppose sll this money Caat is wasted were gathered together and put into co-operative institutions—Oh! we would hate a very different state of things from what we have now. Let me say a word to all capitalists. Be" your own executors. Make investlief for the laborfng~pbpulitloni. This m«mts for eternity Tto not he rlfce s o w of those capitalists I know who walk •round among their employes with a aupercinuu* a a , yr U n ^ up tory in a manner which ceems to lndl cate they are the autocrat of the universe, with the sun and moon in -their vest pockets, chiefly anxious *hen thej go among laboring men not to be touched by the greasy* or smirched hand and have their broadcloth in* jurcd. Be a Christian employer. Hemember those who are under your charge are bone of your bone and flesh of your flesh; that Jesus Christ died for them and that they are immortal. Divide up your estates, or portions of them, for the relief of the world, before you leave it. Do not go out of the world like that man who died to New York, leaving In his will $40,000,000, yet giving how much for the church of God? how much for the alleviation of human suffering? He gave some money a little while before he died. That was well; but in all this will of $40,000,000 how much? One million? No. Five hundred thousand? No. One hundred dollars? No. Two Cents? No. Ono cent? No. These great cities groaning In anguish, nations crylrg out for the bread of everlasting life. A man in a will giving forty millions of dollars and not one cent to God. It is a disgrace to our civilization. Or, as illustrated in a letter which I have concerning a man who departed this life, leaving between five and eight millions of dollars. Not one dollar was left, this writer says, to comfort the aged workmen and workwomen, not one dollar to elevate and Instruct the hundreds of pale children who stifled their childish growth in the heat and clamor of his factory. Is it strange .aat the curse of the children of toil follow such ingratitude? How well could one of his many millions have been disbursed for the present and the future benefit of those whose hands had woven literally the fabric of the dead man'a princely fortune. O! capitalists of the United States, be your own executors. Be a George Peabody, if need be, on a small scale. God has made you a s t e w a r d - discharge your responsibility. My word is to all laboring men in this country: I congratulate you at your brightening prospects. I congratulate you oh the fact that you are getting your representatives, at Aiuany, at Harrisburg, and at Washington.

A few months pass on and he gets the value of that book for twentyfive cents in a pamphlet. There never was such a day for the-worklngmen of America as thla day and'the day that Is coming. I also congratulate you "because your work is only prefatory and introductory. You want the grace of Jesus Christ, the Carpenter of Nazareth. He toiled himself, and ho knows how to sympathize with all who toil. Get his grace In your heart and you can sing on the scaffolding amid the etorm, in the shop shoving the plane, in the mine plunging the crowbar, on shipboard climbing the ratlines. He will make the drops of sweat on your brow glittering pearls for the eternal coronet. Are you tired, he will rest you. Are you sick, be will give you help. Are you cold, he will wrap you In the mantle of his love. Who are they before the throne? "Ah!" you say, "their hands were never calloused with toil." Yes they were; but Christ raised them to that high eminence. Who are these? "These are they that came out of great tribulation and had their robe3 washed and mado white In the blood of the Lamb."

Pull of thought, «he walked rapidly forward, and hardly noticed where-she was going, till suddenly she stopped with a start; for she was In a place which she remembered. I t was a large, level meadow, through which ran a stream, shaded by alders and fringed with, river weeds. path between high clipped wall* of privet she paused. "His name was 'Sultan,' of course," s h e ' said,- "I remember i t well enough." Her heart beat with a strong agitation «s she reached the end of the privet walk. She knew she had but to turn the corner of that clump of flowering shrubs, and she should see the white columns of the heavy porch. Her steps faltered. For a moment she stopped and held her breath. A sort of superstitious fear seized her. She felt as if, once she turned that corner, the solution of her difficulties would stare her in the face. It took but a moment to conquer the feeling. Slowly she passed round the thick barrier of laurel, yew, and holly, and there flashed upon her sight the same picture which had presented Itself that evening long ago; and her heart almost ceased to beat for an instant, and her mind was filled with * ghastly consciousness of delusion, A man was leaning against the white pillar of the porch—a man with his arms folded and his head bowed; his whole attitude was expressive of the most hopeless and absolute dejection. He had not heard her footstep; he remained perfectly motionless, but the girl reeled and staggered back a pace or two in a feeling of helpless terror. The man was there—it was the same man who stood there before—and yet It was the last man whom she would have expected to see. It was Mr. Martineau! The rush of ideas was too qulclc, too instantaneous to enable her to reason; she only fell back as if suddenly struck in the face, and, as it seemed, "BUT IT WAS I," H E SAID, TO MY EVERLASTING DEGRADATION." A little rustic bridge crossed the BtreamV and In the distance, behind ft clump 6f dark trees, a thin line of blue' smoke went up, showing where the house lay. Marguerite let herself into the meadow, and wandered across it like one in a dream. She went and stood on the bridge, and stared down at the clear water. Little Incidents came crowding upon her memory. It was here she had sat »80 late, absorbed in her book, oh,.the evening of' her attempted escape. She remembered how she had watched the sua behind that very clump of trees; she recalled the splendor of the sky; she heard again the caw of the rooks as they flew home in long graceful line*, looking eo densely black againet the glowing s t y ; she almost felt the dampness of the dew on the pasture as her small feet threaded the misty meadow as she went homeward. Yielding to the Impulse at the moment, she left the bridge and went wandering on, making for a small w h i t e ; w i c k e t , which apeared in the d a r k prtarate hedge. Step by step she traversed the very way she had gone t h a t evening when she saw her uncle's tfuest leaning against the porch. She •would approach the house this way, « o t by the drive and front gate. Daniel Brandon was away—there was no •one to say her nay. The wicket clicked u n d e r h e r light touch. A deathly ' stillness reigned -around. Was the wa.tch dog dead, ahe wondered—the dog whose name aha 1lA4 go often tried to remember? l a a without her own volition a name spasmodically left her lips. "ValJ" she cried. The short syllable appeared to ring out like a bell, so startling was the sound. The man who heard It started; his eye3 met those of Marguerite, aud for some moments they remained so—each staring at the uther with the terror of the first surprise written on their haggard faces. Through the girl's m i n d ' w a s stealing the awfui conviction that this was ho delusion, but a horrible reality—a thing that could not be rejected. Twice it seemed as if he would speak—twice he made an unavailing movement towards her; then, with a despairing gesture he turned away, and covered his face with his hands. Slowly, with compressed lips, Marguerite approached him. She went nearer and nearer; and at last, with a strong effort of will, laid a hand upon bU arm. He stared again, and raised hie face, gazing at her with a look of dumb, despairing appeal. "I wanted to see," she said, huskily, "if you were real, or whether you were a nightmare. You are real—you are a man—oh, moat unmanly! Oh, coward! What am I to do? Oh, what am I to do?" "You urged me to confess," said a hollow voice, "but I had not sufficient courage. I dared not tell you what a wretch I was; I could not bear to thttik of your eyes turned upon me wH* contempt for a deed so rile. Confession would have been terr'.V.e, but not so terrible a s this, Marguerite " "Hold!" she said, shrinking from him with an air of disgust which made him wince. "Is this true? Is It really so, or are you and I both mad? Teil me—tell me—oh, don't say ill I have liked you so—trusted you so—dop't say you are the wretch for whom I have been searching all this time!" "I am the man who injured you," he said, huskily, "and would give my life to be able to deny it. See," he said, uesperately, "I am at your mercy—say what you please to me; do as >ou like! Set me any penance; I swear to perform it. I loathe myself and my fault. Could a man's humiliation he more complete?" "You!" she ejaculated, turning Imploring, piteous eye3 up to his. "You —oh, you!" "It was worse than Oaesar'a 'E«t tu, Brute!" Valdane was rallying his manhood. He had been terribly unnerved at the eight of her. Dally, since he parted from her in London, had he haunted the old house, head and heart filled only with the thought of that one woman. To look up and behold her had been to him only the realization of a daily dream. Now that the first feeling of horror and shame was over, and he stood so utterly condemned, it seemed as if, by comparison, those lost few days had been full of radiant hope. It was over. What remained to him was the bitter humiliation of having to let Bernard Selwyn know of his wrong-doing, and his exile from Marguerite forever. P R E S I D E N T UUER1N CHAPTER XVI. She had walked a few paces away from him; now she came back, and stood looking into his face. "Oh, say you did not do it!" she cried.

To think of how you used to deceive me—of how I used r.o— to " She hid her cheeks with her 'hands. He was blushing as deeply as (he; •but he struggled for seK««ontrol.

It was not too late for some poor sort cf atonement. I can set you free; and meanwhile—meanwhile"— falterin;: — ~"Th~ere~ is something I would tefi you. Will you hear me?" "Yes," she answered, weeping. "I will hoar you. I do not want to be unmerciful." She sat down in the porch seat. Valdane leaned against the pillar and bent over her. ."T should like to tell you here," he said, In a low tone—"here, where we first met. What I want to say is ''.his —there is no need for you to purMsh me; my punishment has overtaken roe already. The retribution is peculiarly just and fitting. The woman I wronged so is the woman I love. Do I insult you by those words? Hardly. Love is free to all. I love you as I never thought to love any woman— with a love which nothing can tear from my heart. Is that not punishment bitter enough—that the one woman I would make my wife should be the woman whose greatest sorrow is the shadow tie that binds her to myself." She shuddered. There was a fire of passion in his voice which terrified and astonished her. "See," he said, "when I break t h a t tie —when that marriage of ours is dissolved, I break my heart, too! It is a poor sort of atonement. Suoh as it is, I lay it at your feet." She could find no words in which to reply to him. A feerrng of ptty was stealing over her. She knew the bitterness of a love that was not returned. "I would give worlds," she faltered presently, "for it to have been, any one else but you. But—hut ** "But It was I," h* said, "to my everlasting degradation." There was silence, only broken by an occasional sob from Marguerite. A lark shot up into the sunny sky, and sang rapturously. The branches rustled softly in the breeze; and Valdane longed to prolong each minute that went by—the las*, minute he should spend with her. At last she stirred. "T will go back again," she said. There were a few moments of hesitation; then with an effort she said, "Good-by." The pain seemed too* great to bear. He leaned vimplcriqgly over her as she sat. (To be continued.)

CONCISE AND INTERESTING, Tax Faycra $hMld •elvea With tk« Relative to Vm Youthful Bel Familiarize Themr > m n la the Law e»M Taxes — Four Held op by Pals. Of Interest feft Was Payer*. As time for paying atatc and county taxes will soon be at hand, the taxpayers of the state will be interested Jn several important amendments made k) the general tax law by the last legislature. Section 59, which formerly provided for interval o n delinquent taxes at the rate of 8 per cent per anuum and the addition of a 4 per cent collection fee, was aero ode d so as to make the penalty 1 percent a month, the additional collection fee being retained. Under the previous law there was no charge for the coat of advertising, e t c , until the lands had been advertised and made subject t o sale. The advertisement was mado in April and there was no charge on the account mentioned until the land was actually offered for sale. An amendment increases this expense from 70 cents to 81 per description, and makes the charge a lien upon the land on Oct. 1 next preceding the time prescribed for the sale of the land. Lands now held for unpaid taxes of 1897 will be sold for taxes, an less the latter are sooner paid, in May n e x t Under the old law the expense of this sale, which has been increased to SI, would not become a lien until that date, but the new law makes a Hen on Oct. 1 next. Another amendment is the restoration of the fee payable to county treasurers for tax certificates to accompany warranty deeds. This was reduced from 25 to 15 cents and subsequently abolished, but the last legislature restored it at the latter figure. Daring Hold ©p. Michael Dodovan, Jos. Wilson and Frank Reed, hoboes, are in jail at Lansing on a charge of robbery with a deadly weapon accompaintnent, acrime for which life imprisonment can be imposed. Their victims were David Sparks, Jesse Deiosh; Oral Van HeWen and Jos. Popezinski, aged from 16 to 18, all of Grand Rapids. They are all detained at Lansing as witnesses, except Popezinski, whose treatment forms the most tragic part of the affair. The boys were sons of respectable families, having left home unbe- -known to their parents—for-the -purpose of doing a little hoboiog just for the fun of it. Popezinski told the robbers he had no coin, but after investigating they found 30 cents on his person, and for telling a lie the tramps threw him off the top of a box car while the train was running about 18 miles an hour. Later—Popezinski says he dropped off the train and walked home rather than stand the abuse of the tramps. Weekly Crop llalletin. The weekly crop bulletin of the Michigan weather bureau says that light showers occurred in portions of the upper peninsula, in scattered localities in the northern counties, and in the extreme southeaster portion of the lower peninsula. Over the greater portion of the lower peninsula the weather conditions have generally been arcontinuation of the drouth. Hot, dry weather and nearly cloudless skies have have continued and intensified the drouth. Much corn, especially that on high land, has been badly injured, and many farmers have been cutting it for fodder. Bean harvest is in progress, but the crop has been shortened by the drouth. Late potatoes are suffering greatly for want of rain, while pastures are so badly dried up that many correspondents report that it is necessary to feed their stock. Considerable plowing for wheat and rye has been done, but generally the soil has been so dry that plowing is difficult and many farmers have stopped that work and are waiting for rain before beginning again. The drought has greatly damaged spring seeding, and in the southern counties will materially shorten the crop of sugar beets. Buckwheat is filling badly. Reports indicate that apples continue to fall in large quantities, and the present outlook is for a light crop. A Very Peculiar Will. Minnie Logan, of Flint, has filed a bill in the circuit court from Charle3 Logan for a decree of divorce and also to protect her property interests in the Mrs. Eleanor Logan estate. The latter died a few months ago and left a will disposing of a large , amount of property. In the will Charles Logan was cut off from any benefit unless he had disposed of Minnie Logan, his wife, in a legal wayv Logan made several attempts to get a decree but failed each time. In the bill of complaint filed by Minnie Logau she charges Charles with desertion and non-support and alleges that he is entitled to the share of property mentioned for him in the will although he was not successful in getting rid of his legal wife. Judge Wisner granted an injunction refraining the parties from disposing of the property. Tax Commlislon at Work. The state tax commission is meeting with an even more prompt and satisfactory response to- its recent circular addressed to the people of the state generally thin was expected. The indications are that there are hundreds of citizens of4 Michigan who are confident that there neighbors are escaping their just share of taxation, and all these are getting "into the game." It is perhaps needless to say that notic of these correspondents ha*e confessed that they were not being taxed; enough themselves. The commission is being rather severely criticised in some quarters for instituting this wholesale spy system throughout the state, but at present it promises to add quite a bit to the assessment rolls. Prisoner Leaped %m Death. Unfortunate Mary Ann Carr, ?a years 'of age, dived to death from the lower deck of the steamer Darius Cole into t h e waters of Lake S t Clair on the 27th, while on her way from her home in Port Huron, to Detroit, in charge of Detective Judson C Lombard.

She took a few steps forward, but the effort to mov« made her turn deadly pule. She had been through too much that day. Valdane saw the change in her face, and darted forward. The next moment she was lying senseless in his arms. - CHAPTER XVII. Lady Mildred went down stairs Into the drawing room that night, a tumult to temptation and was now engaged to Lady Mildred. The mad triumph o! the hour was over; In the darkness and stillness his conduct looked very vile. Not only was he bitterly ashamed, bat he was alarmed. What were likely to be the consequences of this act? Should Lady Mildred once discover that, at the time of his proposing to her, he was in honor bound to another woman—well, his imagination was scarcely vivid enough to picture what might happen. He really believed himself to be in love with Lady Mildred. Difference in rank had weighed very little; but for the moment she swayed his emotions completely, and Marguerite seemed as nothing beside her. He only felt now that, with Lady Mildred for his wife, he might fulfil all the golden dreams which he had formed since his sudden acquisition to wealth. He tried to persuade himself that "Marguerite would not have been happy with him, that it was truer kindness to confess this before marriage than to cling to an engagement on which his heart was no longer centered. Besides_he was not engaged to Marguerite—she always said so. Had not her last words to him been, "Remember you are free?" Ah, but had he not, in return, held her to his heart and vowed that he was har slave? It was a humiliating position, and he writhed under it, but determined to put off the evil day or confession. While Bernard was thinking thus at Clarlsdale, Martlneau the irresistible, Martineau the heartless, for whom his stately ccusin was suffering all the pangs of jealousy, was pacing the dreary length of a street in East London. It was a very warm night—the atmosphere in that crowded district was almost fetid; Now-and~ then screaming and discordant laughter broke the silence, as various denizens of the neighborhood reeled home to their beds after the night's carouse. WITH HIS HAKDB BEHIND HIM VALDANE SAUNTERED UP AND DOWN. of feelings contending in her heart. All day had Valdane absented himself, and she could not asderstand it. It must be Jealousy, ,of course—that was clear; but was it possible that she had gone too far, and alienated where she had but meant to incite? She looked round the room as she entered In search of him. fle was not there— that fact just turned the scale against Dim. Lady Mildred was not going to endure even the suspicion of being jilted. "That settles the matter,** she said to herself. "Bernard Selwyn shall .propose to me tonight, and I will accept him." Later in the evening Lord Umfra- •ille brought her a telegram from the defaulter. "Called to town o s business—very •orry. Please make my apologies. Will return tomorrow if I may." His lordship would have held that telegram with more emotion had he known that it secured twenty thousand a year to the Umfravllle estates. —Late that night Bernard dejectedly fat at therbpen[windoworh1iT)ettro©m7 "Be had broken faith with the girl who With his hands behind him, Valdane sauntered up and down, heedless of these interruptions. His face, was very pale; he had no cigar to console him in his solitude. He seemed like one who ^neither knew nor cared whither he went, only his sunken eyes were fixed upon an upper window in the doctor's house—a window where a light was burning. To and fro he walked, while still the candle burned steadily on through the night. He knew that in that bedroom the woman whj> owijed all his heart was suffering the .crudest agony, and that he was the «ause of it, and he could not help her in any way—could not mitigate one pans. The self-abasement which he suffered then was the salvation of Valdane Martineau. He acknowledged to his inner self without reserve that he had sinned, and his whole being was filled with a deep longing to atone. Her window was cpea; the night breeze swayed the white blind. Perhaps she thought the measured tramp in the street below .belonged to the tally taking farewell of everything which makes life glad to men, mentally calling down every blessing on the head of the innocent girl who had suffered so deeply. The dawn came at last, and lighted up Valdane's hagged face. Then, just as the first red sunbeam fell upon Marguerite's casement, the candle went cut. It seemed like a signal for him to go. Nothing was now left but to drink his cup of humiliation to the very dregs—to appear to an astonished world as fellow-conspirator with Daniel Brandon, in the carrying out c? the most infamous of plots, and to dissolve the illegal yoke which bound Marguerite. Meanwhile a bold front must be worn to the world; and none could wear a mask better than Valdane Martineau. dale. He took the news of Liidy MUi dred's engagement with a calmness which made her lose her temper. He looked ill and old. Every one thought Martineau was altered. Mildred imagined that be must be suffering in secret, but, ^svith his characteristic pride, held ins feelings in check. Her heart yearned towards him passionately. Her accepted lover had a hard time of it that day. The guests remarked to one another that, if Martineau was "sweet" on his cousin, he put a very good face on it; for he talked with quiet ease to her, did not avoid her in the least, and offered his congratulations without any evidence of "repressed emotion." Some three days after this, Valdane saw a paragraph in the papers which took him back to London at once. A week later Marguerite received the following letter: "Dear Miss Lilbourne—I have to announce to you that your uncle, Mr. Daniel BrandGn, died suddenly of apoplexy in Paris last week. There is no will, and, by the nature of the entail, all his landed estates and house property revert to you, as the only living blood relation. His affairs, I am sorry to say, are in great disorder, and quite half your fortune has been gambled away on the stock exchange. There will be, I hope, between six and seven hundred a year for you when all claims are settled. I have seen his solicitors; and can easily prove your Identity, as-Cathie recognized you at once that day you fainted at High Lees and we have Mrs. Acland as well to trust to. Hia poor young wife takes the personalty, but I am afraid there will be csit tc nothing for her; no doubt your generosity will suggest it -to-you to make some slight provision llog Feeding* From Farmers' Review: The experiment station of the Kansas Agricultural College has, from time to time, by bulletins, short articles for the papers, etc., shown the value of feeding to fattening hogs something besides those highly starchy feeds, corn and kafflr. In feeding over 200 head of hogs experimentally, not a case has cdine up where the results were not most favorable to feeding some feed rich in protein, along with the coru and kafflr. But what is intended to he brought out In this item is not the pecuniary gain from feeding such feeds as alfsJfa hay, skim-milk or soy bean meal vith the other feeds, but it is tho humanity of doing BO. Putting a hog in a small pen and giving it no feed but,diy corn and kafflr and water is inhjtmune. Hogs so treated when you come to the pen will walk away as far s they* can and eye you as though The next day he returned to Clarls-/they know you were responsible for *j>their pains of digestion, the annoying lice and all the other unfavorable condition*; of the young hog that is being starved on carbohydrates. Protein is the source of the blood, bone, hair, muscle and nerve. Take away this supply, and what has the poor hog to livu for? Their hair drops out, their belly bows up as well as the backbone; great rough wrinkles of hide seem to work out on the tail, but instead of wrinkles working out the body for her. Mr. Brandon's solicitor will call upon you tomorrow, as I imagine that It will not be pleasant for you to see me. The money which I owe you has been placed to your account at the bank. I am afraid that the annulling of the marriage will be a more lengthy business; but U shall be done I promise you, as soon as possible. The one thing now left for me to wish for is that, after so many years of sorrow, happiness may come to you in unstinted measure, so that in years to come you may look back upon me and the injury I did you as nothing but the nightmare which you said it seemed the first day you came to see me in Lance Lane. I f.fcall go abroad when all this is settled, and shall try to cross your path no more. I can never forget your noble forgiveness— the one comfort I shall carry with me through my lonely lire. With deepest respect I am most entirely yours, "Valdane Martineau.** Some days afterwards he received a note from Mary Stelling, inclosing a slip of paper, the words on which were written in pencil: "Dear Sir—I send yoa a line fr>m Miss Lnboume, who Is not well enough to attend to business at all just. now. She~hashad a low Berwus fever;""my father thinks it Is because she refused to leave London this autumn. Naw that money is no object we hope to take her to the Riviera for the winter. Thanking you for all the trouble yon have taken on her behalf. I am, yours faithfully, Mary Stelling." The slip of paper iaelosed, wnich Valdane carried reverently to his lips before opening, contained only a few words: "I am not at all well—I cannot attend to anything. Kindly leave the question of the marriage until yos have heard again from "Marguerite." (To be continued.) has drawn up nnd left the hide, like the insect that pupates in one end oi the worm, as we say. The hog has a cough, and undoubtedly if such a hofl could read and had access to our family papers, and not the experience of many persons, it would send for remedieu for a dozen different complaints. Du>nb animals have a spirit, as wi* say, as well as human beings, and if this element of their nature is destroyed by unfavorable circumstances and conditions, they are subject to the same moods; and It will require a groat effort to bring this spirit bach; yet until this is done they will not grow and fatten. If the hogs are ff.d th<3 proper feed and treated kindl)', they come to meet you when you approach the pen, and have an appearance of perfect content which is as different from the above described condition as day is from night. Feed yovif hogs a variety, and make sure that you know that the feed contains the proper elements to Insure a good healthful condition. S J. G. HANEY. Value of Oats. It seems to me that the value of oats a3 a hen food is not as fully appreciated as it should be, or more people would write about it and recommend it more instead of so many of the Thing's"that are nard to get and costly *' You Never Miss the Water Till the Well Runs Dry."

The census report for 1900 of the great lakes fisheries Is expected to contain surprises in respect to th* extension of the fisheries daring the past ten years in the great lakes of Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario. Frcm 18S0 to 1890 the number of fishermen actually engaged in these waters increased 53 per cent. The capital invested during the same period Increased 110 per cent, and the fish, taken increased from «8.000,000 to 118,- 000,000 pounds, or 70 per cent Lake Ontario was the only one to show a loss.

I don't know that the real grain of the oat ought to be chopped any finer, but tne husk should be; it ought to be cut and not crushed and ground; there is too much waste about It as It is prepared now, The steel-cut oats and the rolled oats are all right, but the farm flock don't get any of it; it makes things about the place top much out of tune for the farmer to sell good oats for 25 cents per bushel (sometimes more), but very often considerably less) and buy it back at three pounds for the same price. For a cooked food for hens we have never tried anything better than to make the bulk of the mash of boiled oats, and for growing chicks we believe there would be nothing better if it could be had in shape to be easily prepared, as it is too coarse as it comes from the mill, to ; make good "Johnnie cake" or "pone," and to feed it dry or mixed with water and fed raw; there is too much waste about it.

Cows require an immense amount of water, as every farmer boy has noticed. Experiments have shown that the average milch cow needs about eighty-one pounds of water a day while in milk—this is nearly ten gallons— and over fifty pounds while dry. Of this the cow in milk takes rather more than two-thirds as drink and the rest in her food, while the dry cow takes rather leas than two-thirds as drink and little more than one-third in her food.

The supper cost him 1500. Brignoll was very careful of h's voice, and was terribly afraid of drafts. It was once stated that during the winter it always took him three-quarters of an hour to get from his room to the street. First, he would leave nis room, pace the hall for ten minutes to get acclimated. He then descended to the lobby, where the temperature was a little lower, and spent twenty minutes there. He then ventured to the vestibule from which the door opened into the street. He would parade the vestibule for fifteen minutes, occasionally opening the door to let in a little cold air. Being now accustomed to a cool temperature, he would button up his coat and sally forth. He once agreed to sing a solo at St. Agnes' church. New York city. He came in late and after divesting himself of many coverings, tumbling over music racks and exasperating the choir by trying his voice, he came to the conclusion that he was ready. By this time, however, the sermon had commenced, but Brisnoll, unabashed, leaned over the choir railings and fri^ri to attract the attention of the preacher by shaking his head and gesticulating with his hands. At last he called out in a voice which was audible for some distance. "Me ready for ze singf Stoppa ze preach! Stoppa ze preach." And the priest actually cut the sermon short in order to accommodate the impatient tenor, whose voice now rang out with such fervor as to thrill the worshipers and jtiftffy the sacrifice.— The National Magazine.

Mexico is a land of many tongues: but above the Indian dialects and Spanish, there is one universal language, the language of signs. It is the n^ost expressive of all; the Mexican eye and hand are eloquent members. It is capable of infinite variation; its shading and suggestions are beyond all translation. But there are certain gestures that have a fixed meaning, a signification well understood by every nation and every tribe from Guatemala to Texas, says Modern Mexico. A general upward movement of the body, shoulders shrugged, eyebrows raised, lips pouted and palms outspread, varies in meaning from "I don't know and I don't care." to a most respectful, "Really, sir, I do not understand you." The index finger moved rapidly from right to left, generally before the face. -means, "No more," or simply "No." To move the right hand palm outward from the body toward another person means "Just wait; I'll be even with you yet." The Index finger on the temple, moved with a boring twist, means "He's drunk." The right hand held to the lips, three fingers doubled, thumb and little finger erect, varies from "He drinks" to "Have one with me." To move the open hand over the cheek in imitation of a razor has reference to the idiom "playing the barber." and means "to flatter." All four fingers and the thumb held points together and moved toward the mouth means "to eat." The right hand held before the faf'e. the two middle fingers moving rapidly, is a familiar salutation. poured lead.

The setting out of the dinner of Queen Elizabeth was a ceremonious function. First came a gentleman with a rod, followed by a gentleman carrying a tablecloth, which, after they had knelt reverently three times, was spread upon the table. Then came two others, one with a rod, the other with a saltcellar, a plate and bread. They knelt three times, placed the things on the table, knelt again and retired. Next came a lady in waiting, followed by a second. The first lady, dressed in white, after kneeling three times, approached the table and solemnly rubbed the plates with the salt. Then entered twenty-four yeomen of the guard, clad in scarlet, and each carrying a dish of gold. These dishes were placed upon the table while the lady taster gave to each of the guards a taste from the dish he had brought in, for fear of possible poison. These guards were selected from the tallest and stoutest men in all England. At the close of this ceremony a number of unmarried ladies appeared and with great solemnity lifted the various dishes and carried them to the queen in her private apartments. The queen dined and supped alone, with few attendants, and it was seldom that any one was admitted at this time and then only at the intercession of some one in power. - — — • . ^ — Our Latest Music Offer.

In Bishop Potter's tirade against prohibitionists he speaks of "the grotesque ^yporcisy of the prohibition system from Maine to Kansas." Over against this utterance !of the New York bishop the National Advocate places the statement of Bishop Millspaugh, of Kansas: When I went to Kansas I felt satisfied that there was no better way of Landling the liquor traffic than by the high-license system, but now I am quite as well satisfied that I was mistaken. I have changed my opinion of th«* prohibition law since I have seen its workings, and I regard it as very desirable, it is especially so from my own spiritual standpoint. For instance, Topeka is a city of 50,000 inhabitants, so that it is quite a town. You can walk the whole length of Kansas avenue, the principal street of the city, and not see a single saloon on either side. What is the effect of this all? The young men are not tempted to go into the gilded hells where sweetmusic and every alurement are held open for them. There are no temptations for the young, and there is nothing to lead the man who does not drink habitually to take a drink, just for the sake of being sociable." I Rev. Sam Small was chaplain of the 3rd United States volunteer 'engineers from *July, 1898, to : April, 1899, serving at Jefferson 1 Barracks, Camp Hamilton, at Lexington, Ky„ Camp Fo. nance, at Macon, Ga., and at Cienfuegos, ; Cuba.

Strange to say, it is the conversation ^with no point to it that bores quickest. t A bachelor always feels sorry for a pretty girl who marries some other man. Some people are charitable only •when they are sure the world will hear cf it. Some people go to fight the Filipinos, and some stay at home and drink pink lemonade.

The agrarian party in the Prussian diet has managed to secure a vote adverse to the emperor's canal plans. Their victory has been greater than they anticipated. The emperor's wishes regarding the measure were well known. He made his intention of carrying out his canal construction ideas" •with a strong hand very plain in his speeches at' the opening of the Dortmund- Ems canal. But the abgeordnetenhaus, or lower house of the diet, as reported 'by a reliable Berlin correspondent, has rejected not only the Rhine-Elbe canal measure by a majority of 98, but also the paragraph relating to the Dortmund-Rhine canal by the close vote of 212 to 209. H. Schaw proposes to blast with high-pressure steam, instead of -Unusual inflammable explosives, which are so dangerous, in fiery mines. Mr. Schaw suggests that, a cartridge of water lodged in a shot hole could be converted into steam at a pressure of about 150 pounda a square inch by means of low-tension electricity, and the cartridge should be made of such strength that it would burst at about this pressure, when the force set at liberty would break down the coal. When the cartridge bursts the wire is fused and the electric circuit is broken, eo that there is no further ri3k of ignition of firedamp or coaldust. Mr. Schaw maintains that the force developed by the water cartridge will be sufficient to break down the undercut coal in a mine. Outside the city of Jerusalem there was a sanative watering-place, the popular resort for invalids. To -„ai3 day there is a dry basin of rock which shows that thero may have been a pool there three hundred and sixty feet long, one hundred and thirty feet wide, and seventy-five feet deep. This po<* ! was surrounded by five piazzas, or porches, r bathing houses, where the patients lurried until the time when they were to step iuto the water. So far as reinvlgoration was concerned, it must have been a Saratoga and a Long Branch on a small scale; a Leamington and a Brighton combined—medical and therapeutic. , Tradition says that at a certain season of the year there was an officer of the government who would go down to that water and pour in it some healing quality, and after that the people would come and get the medication; but I prefer the plain statement of Scripture, that at a certain season an angel came down and stirred up or troubled the water; and then the people came and got the healing. That angel of God that stirred up the Judean watering-place had his counterpart in the angel of healing, who, in our day, steps into the m.aeral waters of Congress, or Sharon, or Sulphur Springs, or into the salt sea at Cape May and Nahant, where multitudes who are worn out with commercial and professional anxieties, as well as those who are afflicted with rheumatic, neuralgic and splenetic diseases, go and are cured by the thousands. These blessed Bethesdas are scattered all up and down our country. We are at a season of the year when rail trains are laden with passengers and baggage on their way to the mountains and the lakes and the seashore. Multitudes of our citizens are away for a restorative absence. The city heats are pursuing the people with torch and fear of sunstroke. The long, silent halls of sumptuous hotels are all abuzz with excited arrivals. The antlers of Adirondack deer rattle under the shot of city sportsmen. The trout make fatal snap at the hook of adroit sportsmen, who toss their spotted brilliance into the game basket. The baton of When congress, in 1898, enacted that "hereafter all first-class 'battleships and monitors owned by the. United States shall be named for the states" it unwittingly provided a cause of contention among come cf the states. Recently the good people of Connecticut objected because the nam* of 'their state was selected for a vessel no more pretentious than a 2,755-ton monitor. As the law, moreover, while providing that all battleships and monitors shall be named after states, does not provide that each etate shall have a vessel of one of those classes to bear its name, it happens that the citizens of Callfornia are now objecting because their state is to be represented in the navy not by a battleship but by an armored cruiser. The appearance in one of the September magazines of another sympoeium on "The Secret of Success" may toe regarded as one more sign, of .the fascination which this subject has for ambitious yottttg America. It Is in response to a genuine demand that similar articles have appeared in print in this country at intervals for many years, and the interest in the theme seems in nowise abated. The younf American, more than the young man of any other country, is filled from the sstart with the purpose not merely to do well, but to de so well as t distinction. Any advice as to how tuat end is to be attained is absorbed with eager interest, even though the burden of the counsel, as in the case of the symposium in Pearson's Magazine/ which is written by several merchant princes and brilliant profession- --«1--naenr ia the same. Men whose callings are so unlike as are those of Dr. Parkhurst, Gen. Miles, Admiral Samp- •on, E . L i GodkTn and Dr. George F. Shrady, to say nothing of several mu ilonaires, are practically unanlm in reiterating -that hard work is at the ftottoss of all true success. the orchestral leader taps the music stand on the hotel green, and American life has put on festal array, and tne rumbling of the ten-pin alley, and the crack of the ivory balls on the green-baized billiard tables, and the jolting of the bar-room goblets, and the explosive uncorking of the champagne bottles, and the whirl and the rustle of the ball-room dance, and the clattering hoofs of the race courses, and other sig^s of social dissipation, attest that the season for the great American watering-places is in full play. Music! Flute, and drum, and cornet-a-plston, and clapping cymbals wake the echoes of the mountains. Glad am I that fagged out American life, for the most part, has an opportunity to rest, and that nerves racked and destroyed will find a Bethesda. I believe in watering-places. They recuperate for active service many who were worn out with trouble or overwork. They are national restoratives. Let not the commercial firm begrudge the clerk, or the employer the journeyman, or the patient the physician, or the church its pastor, a season of Inoccupation. Luther used to sport with his children; Edmund Burke used to caress his favorite horse; Thomas Chalmers, in the dark hour of 4he church's disruption, played kite for recreation— so I was told by his own laughter—and the busy Christ said to the busy apostles, "Come ye apart awhile into the desert and rest yourselves." And I have observed that they who do not know how to rest do uot know how to work. But I have to declare this truth today, that some >f our fashionable watering-places are the temporal and the eternal destruction of "a multitude that no man can number;" and, amid the congratulations of this season, and the prospect Df the departure of many of you for the country, I must ntter a warning, plain, earnest and unmistakable. The first temptation that is apt to hover in this direction to leave your piety at noma You will send the dog and cat and canary bird to be well sared for somewhere else; but the ptation will be to leave your religion in the room with the blinds down ind the door bolted, and then you will tome back in the autumn to find that :t is starved and suffocated, lying itretched on the rug, stark dead, There a no surplus of piety at the watering- ; aces. I never knew any one to grow eery rapidly in grace at the Catekill Mountain bouse, nr Sharon Springs, or the Falls of Montmorency. It is generally the case that the Sabbath Is more if a carousal than any other day, and there are Sunday walks, and Sunday *idesv and Sunday excursions. Elders aid deacons and ministers of religion, who are entirely consistent at home, sometimes when the Sabbath dnwns on tk-eui at Niagara Faiia or tuo White Mountains, take a duy to themselves. If they go to church, it is apt to he a sacred parade, and tho discourse, Instead of being a plain talk about the soul, is apt to bo what is called a crack sermon—that is, some discourse picked out of the effusions of the year as the one most adapted to excite admiration; and in those churches, from tho way the ladies hold their fans, you know that they are not so much impressed with the heat as with the picturesqueness of half disclosed features. Four puny souls stand In the organ loft and squall a tune that nobody knows, and worshipers, with two thousand dollars' worth of diamonds on the right hand, drop a cent into the poor box, and then the benediction is pronounced and the farce is ended. The to\ighest thing I ever tried to do was to be good at a watering-place. The air is bewitched with the "world, the flesh and the devil." There are Christians who, in three or four weeks in such a place, have had such tPrrlMo rent3 made in their Christian robe that they had to keep darning it until Christmas to get it mended. The health of a great many people makes an annual visit to somo mineral spring an absolute necessity; but tnke your Bible along with you, and take an hour for secret prayer every day, though you be surrounded by guffaw and saturnalia. Keep holy the Sabbath, though they deride you a3 a bigoted Puritan. Stand off from gambling hells and those other institutions which propose to imitate on this side the water the iniquities of Baden-Baden. Let your moral and your immortal health keep pace with your physical recuperation, and remember that all the sulphur and chalybeate Bprlngs cannot do you so much good as the healing perennial flood that breaks forth from the "Rock of Ages." This may be your last summer. If so, make it a fit vestibule of heaven. Another temntetion hovering around nearly all our watering-places is the horse-racing business. .We all admire the horse, but. we do not think tbat its beauty or speed ought to be cultured :'.t the expense of human degradation. The horse race is not of such importance as the human race. The Bible intimates that a man is better than a sheep, and I suppose he is better than a horse, though, like Job's stallion, his neck be clothed with thunder. Horse races in olden times were under the bjm of Christian people; ana in our day the same institution has come up under fictitious names^ And it is called tr^"summer meeting,—almost-auggesi^_|_ ive of positive religious exercises. And it Is called an "agricultural fair," suggestive of everything that is improving In the art of farming. But under these deceptive titles are the same cheating aud the same betting and tho same drunkenness and the same vagabondage and the same abomination that were to be found under the old horseracing system. Long ago the English government got through looking to the turf for the dragoon .and the light-cavalry horse. They found out that the turf o.epreciates the stock; and it is worse yet for men. Thomas Hugbes.the member of parliament and the author known all the world over, hearing that a new Ijtrf enterprise was being started in this country, wrote a letter in which he said: "Heaven help you, then; for of all the cankers of our old civilization there is nothing in this country approaching in unblushing meanness, in rascality holding its head high, to this belauded institution of the British turf." Another famous sportsman writes; "How many fine domains have been shared among these hosts of rapacious sharks during tne last 200 yeaiu; and unless the system be altered, how many more are doomed to fall into the same gulf!" With the bull fights of Spain and the bear-baitings of the pit, may the Lord God annihilate the infamous and accursed horse racing of England and America! Now, the watering-places are full of temptations to men and women to tipple. At the close of the ten-pin or billiard game, they tipple. At the close of the cotillon, they tipple. Seated on the piazza cooling themselves off, they tipple. The tinged glasses come around with bright straws, and they tipple.

This is in some measure reassuring to those who have looked with opposition upon the match, feeling that the grand-daughter of General Grant should have chosen to bestow her affections upon some worthy American suitor in preference to any pampered scion of royalty who might come from beyond the seas.

Drowning , Man After a Hard Struggle. Chicago Record: With 4,000 persons cheering him on, Surfman William H. Batchelor of the Jackson Park lifesaving crew plunged into the lake, swam out to a drowning man and brought his safely to shore. Once the swimmer went down. When he came up Batchelor had thrown aside his shoes and blouse, and, with a cheering "I'm coming.'' sprung into the water. He was a strong swimmer, and soon reached the side of the struggling man. He told him to turn over on his back. At first- be refused to comply, then Batchelor spoke more sharply than before, and the man obeyed. Batchelor dove under him,*and when he came up had the man on his back and was holding him with one hand. With the other he began to work his way shoreward. Every stroke was cheered by the crowd on shore. Five minutes and Batchelor had reached a point where he could touch bottom. Then began a struggle to keep the man from being killed by being dar.bed against the lake bottom when a btg rrave would strike and crush them down. Three minutes of hard fighting and Batchelor reached the stone sea wall, where willing hands assisted him to draw the almost drowned man to shore. When both were safely landed a cheer went up from the 4,000 throats that echoed and re-echoed far back into the park. The rescued man was William Johnson. Her Ashes In the Mortar.

Special Chicago Chronicle: A real case of wife trading la reported from Woodward county, Oklahoma. Charles Newbern and J. W. Alsup were neighbors, and swapped wives, and now Newbern is living with Alsup's former wife and Alsup is living with Newbern's. Both are farmere and each sued for a divorce from his wife about the same time, alleging extreme cruelty and gross neglect of duty. Newbern's wife was a witness for Alsup and Alsup's wife was a witness for Newbern. The trial judge remarked when the divorces were granted that there was something strange about the divorce cases. Two months after obtaining his divorce Newbern and the former Mrs. Alsup were married in Kansas and a few days ago Alsup and the former Mrs. Newbern were married in Texas. Now the two formei neighbors are still living near each other and all seem happy. Costly Retribution for a Roy. Two little boys in Greenpoint went up on the roof of a house the other day to fly their pigeons. The older one, leaning over too far after his bird, fell off and was killed. His companion, who was only 7 years old, was so frightened that he ran away and hid for a day and a night. He is a sensitive little fellow, and his parents were greatly alarmed lest he had done something desperate in his fright and sorrow. They finally found him, however, hidden away in a neighbor's barn. He was told that while he was not blamed for the other boy's death, h e had done wrong to go to the roof with him, this being forbidden ground, and* that as the dead boy's mother was poor, he must give her all his money.

Bertram was born and had spent all lit? life on a Kansas prairie. He had never watched the waves rolling in from the ccean, nor picked up shells along the shore, nor dug wells in the sandy beach. He had never listened to the wind as it sighs gently through tho tops of the pine trees. Indeed, he had never seen any real woods at all, nor any high hilla; and he knew nothing about great rocks that are so nice to climb upon and that make such lovely caves to hid© oneself under. But he knew all about how tho men on the plains ride over the range to bring the cattle together in a spring "roundup." He hr.d often played at "throwing a rope" to lasso the stalks of the tall sunflowers that bloom so thickly over the western plains. He had seen great fires rushing madly through the dry prairie grass. He had even seen half a dozen fires at a time far off on the great round line in which the wide sky shuts itself down over the wide earth. He also knew how hard the winds could blow across the great open plains. Wheu the spring winds eame blowing all the way from the Gulf of Mexico or the Polar ocean, Bertram used to watch the great round "tumble weeds" as they rolled rapidly along faster than a hbrse could gallop. Sometimes when the wind grew fiercer than usual, it brought a thick cloud of dust to choke the breath and blind the sight. Then Bertram would run Into the house as fast as his legs eould carry him, and shut his eyes, almost fearing that the little house ^would—he—lifted.imm_lts_founda t Ions and be shaken to pieces by the fierce wind of the prairie. When Bertram was five years old bis mother took him to New England to visit Ills grandmother and some cousins that he had never seen. Bertram thought the rooms l a his grandmother's house were very large—large enough for houses, he said. He was nerer tired of running up and down the stairs, because he had never before lived in a house where there were any stairways to be climbed. One day Bertram's uncle brought home from the city a large box, and told Bertram and his little cousin Frank that this contained something which they would like to see. When they opened the box they found in it—a toy village. There was a church with a steeple, a postofflce, a school house, a store and some smaller houses. There were a good many little trees to shade the village, and a number of little men and women to walk about its streets. There was also a depot and a train of cars to bring people to and from the town. Both of the children were delighted. They took the little things out of the box and looked at them one by one. Then they began to build the town. Frank had often been to the city with his ^ father, and thought that he knew all about how a town should be built. He did not think that Bertram knew much about towns. So it happened that almost all the things that Bertram set up Frank would soon change to another place. Bertram soon began to feel that it was all Frank's town, and that he was being left out •of the play. He looked very sober for a few minutes. He stopped working and watched the little town as it grew up under Frank's busy fingers. But he was all the time thinking how he could have a share In the play himself. At last a new thought came to him. ^'he town was Just finished, with all the trees and houses set up In beautiful order, and the little men and women walking quietly around the streets. Then Bertram cried out, "Here comes a slycone!" <nd filling his little lungs with air, ne blew out a great wind of breath. In two seconds half of the t o n lay in a heap, with the frightened little men and women buried under the overturned houses. Frank looked up, feeling half angry. But Bertram's eyea were shining. He wan not cross or naughty; he only wanted to have a part in the play. Frank's eyes began to shine, too. This was a new kind of fun. So he said, "That was a bliztard, Etrre -eno^gh-i—NojLAlI_lke_jnen_ Will h a v e to g o l o w o . K a n d build Uie Cleveland Strike to be I n v e s t i g a t e d . town over agaki."

Willed, went up to the attic, and brought down an old pair of bellows that u^ed to bio v up the fires in the great kitchen chiainey a hundred years ago. Bertram now looked on with great curiosity while Frank took the bellows, and made a wind that blew several of the little men and women half-way across the dining room carpet. After this, whenever Frank and Bertram set up the toy village, the very best part of the play waa the time when the cyclone came, and trees and houses and men and women tumbled down together in a heap of ruins. —Yary Hall Leonard. A True Story. Old Dapple was so tired when hay- Jng-time was over that grandpa said he should rest a whole week, with oats for dinner every day. "You're the faithfulest old fellow!" grandpa said, warmly stroking Dapple's old nose back and forth—back and forth, lovingly. "Now you shall have a holiday and munch hay instead of rake it. Wait; I'll trundle the big rake und*- tho mow, out of your sight, so you'll forget there was ever any such thing in the world as work." Then grandpa went in to dinner with grandma and The Twins—everybody called them The Twins, with capital ' i s in their voices when they said it. It was quite late in the afternoon when grandma asked The Twins to lead out old Dapple to water. "Let him stay and drink as long as he wants to," he called after t t e m . "You neean't wait—he knows the way back alone." So old Dapple stood and drank his fill of tho cle&r, svfeet water, and The Twins ran bai'k to their play. But it wasn't long before grandpa saw them coming toward him at a scamper. Both their faces were excited, and they shouted in a little, breathless chorus—The Twins usually spoke in chorus—"O, grandpa! grandpa! quick! look up in the motfin. rj field! Old Dapple's up there rakia' hay all alone, 'thout any rake or any hay! He's goin' back anfl forth and back and forth like everything!" And when grandpa got on his "fur-offs" and looked, sure* enough there was faithful old Dapple up in the mowing-field, patiently trudging up and down, making neat turns at the end of every "bout!" His tired old legs wavered unsteadily, but kept on. The afternoon sunshine lay on his rough back and.dazzled his old eyes on the return trips, bv.t he never thought of stopping. Something suddenly dimmed grandpa's "fur-offs," and he took them off. "Faithful old fellow!" hjf> muttered. "Go lead him back, children, and give him oats for his supboth parties were agreed. The law provides, however, t h a t in case there is no arbitration either party may ask for an investigation which will be judicial in its nature, and ascertain j who is responsible for the strike and its prolongation. The strikers were asked by t h e central labor union to demand such an investigation.

Constance Hamilton. Gladstone a* a Boy. William Ewart Gladstone, at the age of 12, was the best looking boy who ever entered Eton, and the brightest fellow who ever left it. He was always proud to claim membership with one "of the old families of commerce, and to the Iaet declined all honors and titles offered him by the queen, preferring to remain "one of the people." His mother traced her ancestry t j the royalty of the fourteenth century. She was a woman of very great accomplishments, and exacted obedience from her six children. Gladstone's earlier life was passed under the direct carl of this wise and watchful mother. Her boys were required to perform some manual labor, and to take much physical exercise, and were instructed in woodsawing and carving. A man's treatment of his wife la a reflection of his mother's memory. In Gladstone's beautiful study, called the "Temple of Peace," were three desks—one for political and business correspondence.one for literary work and one for Mr*. Gladstone, who was a most discreet, as well as able, woman, and had not only 4he gift of silver-tongued speech, but of golden silence when occasion required. v-hairdse >fthem-h-avi xUghtly damaged by the fires, BASE BALL. ne!o;r wo publish the number of frame? ot ball plcyed by t'.io Western and National Leagues, giving the number of jJMinej won and lost, tj^ether wit>i tti3 [)jr^jtita,'d of ea?U cluo to date, Wednesday, August 30th: Games Clubs. Plave t. Won. Lost. A n Embarrassed Student. Mr. Spurgeon used to tell a good story about one of his divinity students. It was his custom, in order to test the powers of the young men for speaking, to give them, as they were about to ascend the pulpit, a text to discourse about on their cwn plan and in their own words. This, of course, was not before an audience, but simply among themselves for practice. On the occasion referred to, he gave to a young man, who as yet had not tried the ordeal, the simple word, "Zacchaeus." The young man. trembling from head to foot, said: .'I will divide my subject into three parts. First, We read that Zacchaeus was small of stature, and I never felt smaller than at the present moment. Second, We read that Zacchaeus climbed a tree, which reminds me of my ascent Into this pulpit. Third, We read that Zacchaeus made haste to come down—which accordingly I will now do." Whether this man ever became a great preacher or cot. we are not told, but he certainly r.howed that he possessed ready wit. Indianapolis 10S 64 40 Minneapolis.... 114 71 43 Grand Rapids Ill .

A report has been received of a serious riot in Chinese Thibet at a place called Paao An, some 130 miles over the border from Kansu. The Christian and Missionary alliance have had a station t h e r e for about t w o years or so, and this has been attacked and looted by t h e Thibetans. The missionaries, the Rev. George T. Shields and wife with Mrs. Beth, barely escaped with their lives at Lancho, where the China inland mission has workers.

The boss finally looked over in his direction. "Coot," he said, "go and break t h a t jam, and I'll see that you get a nice puff in the paper." The redskin looked at the logs and then at the boss.

Loss to Veueloaea Will be Heavy. The steel steamer Douglas Houghton, the largest ship on t h e lakes, lies sunk across the channel of St. Mary's river at the Sailors' Encampment, and effectually blocks the passage of all L a k e Superior commerce. T h e Hought o n was bound down from Lake Superior, towing the big steel schooner Fritz, Both were deeply loaded with iron ore, and when iu t h e narrow passage at the Encampment wLere the current runs swiftly, the wheel chains of the steamer parted, and she swung arouml, grounding ber bow ou the banks. The current s w u n g the steru across the channel, and the Fritz, witli all the impetus of 7,000 tons of iron ore and 2,003 tons of ship, struck the Houghton on the side, cutting through the steel plates like a tin can. The steamer sank to the bottom at once, iu such a position t h a t the deep channel is completely blocked. Three Killed by a ItoUer Xxplosloo. A terrible explosion at Copemish on the afternoon of Sept. 1 wrecked the bowl and tray factory of Chapman & Sargent and caused the instant death of three men, fatally wounding three others and badly injuring three more. The mill was completely demolished, wreckage being scattered nearly half a mile iu every direction. The bodies of the deadTroen were mangled almost beyond recognition. The cause of the accident is a mystery as the engineer, the only man who could have explained it. is among the the dead, but it is thought that there was a lackf'bi water in the boiler. The building iV a complete wreck and t h e loss will be over §5,000. The factory was r u n n i n g short handed or the loss of life would have been much larger. After the Explosion, the building caught fire and the ilames were only subdued by heroic work. Our .State System Cozamrndeil. ltvconl liouker fur State Lxud Otnoi'.

The weekly crop bulletin of the Michigan weather bureau says t h a t during the early days of the week light scattering showers occurred in most of the counties of the lower peninsula. In the southeast section, especially Genessee and Lapeer counties, these showers were heavy enough to relieve the drought, but generally the rainfall has been insufficient in most of the principal agricultural counties. Corn, late beans, late potatoes, sugar beets, buckwheat and pastures are suffering. Corn cutting has been quite general in most sections, this work being no doubt hastened at least two or three weeks by the drouth. The yield of corn, both in quanity and quality, is much poorer t h a n expected four weeks ago. The dry, hot weather has blasted considerable buckwheat. Pastures are generally brown and short. Sugar beets are in fairly good condition. Fall plowing is delayed. Fruits of most kinds are scarce uud poor, especially apples. In the upper peniusula the weather and crop conditions are very promising. Coleinan'n Sliootlnsr Affray.

One of the peculiar effects of the heavy rain* at Port Huron on t h e 1st was the ascending of a dense vapor laden with carbonic acid gas from Black river. The midsummer putrid condition of the stream, resulting from the action of the fiber works acids on t h e vegetable matter in t h e river was in its most aggravated form, and the odor was carried a considerable distance. The vapor clung t o everything it touched, and the gas is said to have entered the vaults of » bank located j beside the river to such an extent as | to discolor the silver coin.

All OVER I n By Telegraph Giving a Brief Resume of the Week's Events. RELIABLE AND INTERESTING, The Boer-Kng-llsh Trouble Appears to be NearliiK a Crisis, Although Chamberlain U of the Opinion That the lioers Wtll Ilack Down. Boers llewdy to Fight on Short Notice. The latest reply of the Transvaal republic to the British demands has been published. In this reply regret is expressed t h a t the proposals of Great Britain are unacceptable. The Transvaal government admits Great Britain's right under the convention and international law to protect her subjects, but denies a claim of suzerainty. The reply agrees to a further conference regarding the franchise and representation. Jos. Chamberlain, secretary of state of the colonies, with heudquarters in London, says the general opinion tends to the belief t h a t the cabinet council called for September 8 will result in an ultimatum, followed by an immediate backdown on the part of the Boers or the commencement of hostilities by Great Britain. On the o t h e r hand it is learned from reliable sources t h a t President Kruger will not give Mr. Chamberlain time to send an ultimatum, but will take advantage of the first suspicious move of t h e British troops on the border to assume the offensive, and that the Boers are ready to commence actual hostilities upon a few hours notice. Five- Mou ntew so Eternity. A boiler explosion- at the Republic Iron Works, Pittsburg, Pa., on the 1st, killed five men and seriously injured seven others. A fire-which broke out following the explosion, added to the horror. The mill was partly wrecked and the entire plant was.compelled' to close down. The explosion occurred just as the night force was leaving and the day force was coming on duty, so that there were only a few men in the mill at the- time. If it had happened a half-hour later, the list of dead and injured would have been appalling. It occurred in the 14-incb department and the concussion was. terrific. Buildings* were shaken a mile away, and dust filled the air for t w o or three blocks. It entered open windows and nearly suffocated persons who were aroused by the roar and tl»e shock. Immediately Collo-wing the explosion the wreckage took Sreand t h i s added to the difficulties encoontered in rescuing the burned and mutilated victims. A^seoTIon of fchTe boiler weighing four tons was blown t h r o u g h t h e roof and crashed into a dwelling hwuse 200 yards away. The house was badly wrecked but the o c c u p a a t s escaped unhurt. Death LUt o» the Water inevwa-M*. The annual report of Gen. Duinont, the supervising inspector-general of steamboat inspection at Washington, shows that the total number of accidents to steam vessels durin^g t h e year was 48, of which 7 were from fire, 12 collisions, 8 breaking steam pipes. 2: explosions, and 18 frora snags, wrecks and sinking. The loss of life was 404, an ine.-ease over the previous year of 123. Of this number the- causes of death in 80 cases was accidental drowning, 213 from: wrecks, eKc-r t.Tfrom tire, 31 from collisions, 2* frooa explosions or accidental escape- of steam, and 27 from miscellaneous causes. Of the whole number 158 were passengers and 246 belonged to crews of ttesseis. ' T h e increase in the loss, o ^ life t h i s year over the year L897 was due to t h e loss of the steamer Portland, off t h e Massachusetts coast, during a gale on t h e night of Nowambeir ?7. 1898, wherein every soul o a board, 127, perished.

Gomez said: "Now t h a t the war is over the Spaniards should be considered friends, and t h e past should be forgotten.

The matter of m a k i n g . a n effective blockade in the Philippines, and especially around the island of Luzon, so as to prevent the insurgents from obtaining ammunition and: supplies, is one that, is giving the-administration considerable concern. It has not been deemed feasible to proclaim a blockade, as it would indicate a state of w a r and possibly open a way to the recognition of the insurgents. Whether or not it is feasible to attack, subdue and garrison ail the ports of Luzon which might serve as ports of supply for t h e Filipinos has not yet be-cq determined.

A f«;w words will explain whatever of their little history the reader will c a r e m learn. Arthur I-Virte;gh. Ildna's ' f a t h e r - four years dead—had been a gardener mi the estate of Ralph Wilmot. ihe miserly master at the hall. F:i:rleigh had once been wealthy hhns-df, but by a series of misfortunes he was reduced to penury, and was glad to accept t h e tolerably lucrative situati•<•! offered him by Mr. Wilmot. Oak C ctage, the present residence of hi;: widow and daughter, was then vacant; and there Mr. Fairleigh took r o his abode, with trie understand :v; that it should be his when he had paid the proprietor a certain sum of money agreed upon. Failing to show receipts for the fu".' amount—so ran the bond of agreement —the estate of Oak Cottage should, on the 24th of June, IS—, belong to R-ilph Wilmot, provided he still survived: but in the event of his death hetoi« the said 24th the whole properly should levert to Arthur Fair!eigh4;,r.d his heirs forever. Mr. Fairleign had been to make his last payment, when h& was seized with paralysis while yet in the presence of Mr. Wilmot; and three days afterward he expired at the hall, remaining speechless and motionless to t h e last. After the funeral obsequies were over, Mrs. Fairleigh, searching anionher late husband's papers, found Mr. Wilmot's receipts up to the time of :1K last payment. The final receipt h: full was not among them. She applied for it to Mr. Wilmot. but the miserly man disclaimed all knowledge of the reception of the money, and coolly told hethat he should abide by his agreement. She need expect nothing move at h'.; hands. Four years longer. Oak Cottage was here, and the only chance of her getting just^c^a-y in the very uncertain prospect of Mr. Wilmot's death beforthe expiration of the time mmtimvM in the bond. These years had passed now, and, with each succeeding w e a \ Mrs. Fairleigh had grown feebler. l'> on Edna's labor the existence of the family depended. As the time drew near which wa . :., turn them out into the world, sh.utrrlees. Edna went to plead with M •. Wilmot- for a little extension of the time, that she might look about for lodgings; but was harshly refund. Oak Cottage, he said, was already rented, and the new tenant would arrive on the 25th of June. He did not keep houses to shelter people v ho oould not pay for them looked so cruelly unjust to her. The rich, childless old man refusing them so little out of hJa great plentitude! •refusing them the heritage her father had labored for so faithfully, and for "vVch she knew the last dollar had b°erj paid. It ifl little wonder that, thinking over their wrongs, she should cry secretly, " 0 that God's judgment might fall upon him!" A little afterward, when she rad prayed earnestly for strength, she asked for Ralph Wilmot mercy instead of judgment; but for all that, though she forgave him, she could not forget. And this fair June morning the took her way across the hloa^oming clover fields, to the distant village, with bitterness in her heart. ilex pale cheek flushed hectic crimson with t h e violent haste of her step, and hei dark eye burned bright with the smol. dering passion within. Site could not stop to smell the sweet clover, or listen to the tender voices of the robins in the tall old trees; it would be so much time taken from her work, and she must improve every moment now, The murmur of running water broke on her ear. She must cross Scony Brook, a wild little stream that divided the meadow land from the high hills on which the village was situated Absorbed in her own painful reflections, she did not look up until she was close upon the frail bridge spanning the stream at this point, two old rotten planks only, and the recent heavy rains had swelled the brook tc the proportions of a river. It flowec on over the rocks, snow-white, anc broken into a thousand spray wreath making the fragile bridge tremble and shahfi like a reed. She looked up jus' as she was setting foot on 'he planks and, simultaneously, a frer: •,-; ery foj help rang out on the air. • Edna saw it all—under?tood it all at a glance. She saw the swift rust of that human figure downward: sa* tfhe agoni'/ed eNpreseion of the wrinkled face, framr d in by masses of long whiff- hair, and pier-ding for salvation wtih its filmy eves. And looking down to scp where th - waters had -•overed it all tip f.om : ^r sight. Edna /•'••leigh knew th'-' Ralph Wilmot's I iff- was at her mpr"'/! Her heart stood still. Every f a r :;: wa? swallowed up in the one fearfui thought that swept through bf>r mind! Tt was the ?-V: o! June, if he died that day, Oak Cotv.'.ge was theirs! An old t.tan. u n l o v i v unloved, mii- '-•••iv, f-ruel. and a curse to the world! "i here would be none to weep for him, I'fir" to -ink down d r ' t h ! The tempta'' .. with a mighty fore whirled, she tottered, and would havp fallen, but for do ken at assailed her —her bmin the old man's recovery. She labored long and faithfully with the means at her ommand. and at last she was rewarded by seeing hie eyes unclose. ;tnd his chest heave with suppressed respiration. He sat upright and looked at her. but there was no trace o, rrrateful feeling on his hard, cold facu f'e pushed her away roughly. "There, enough of that. Go abnu! your business." Edna did as she was bidden, wonder i ing within herself if Ralph Wilmot were human. The following day the Falrleighs received formal no'ice to vacate Oak ! Cottage: and jn obedience to the mandate, they removed to meagre lodgings in a crazy, old hou/e in the village. I The new tenant took possession of the cottage; and Edna's !>'*> of toil • grew drearier every day. Iler mothi er's health suffered from the removal 1 to new scenes; the severing of olden ties and affections was exceedingly painful to her, and she did not rally • from the shock as Edna hoped she ' would. J One day the Intelligence spread abroad that Ralph Wilmot was dead. The servant, on going to call his master to breakfast, had found him seated in his armchair before the writing-tahie, deae>. His eyes were wide open, one hand in his l>osom. and the o'her covering a massive document, which, on examination, was found to be a will, dated on the 24th of the preceding •June, and It was now the middle of October. 1 The pompous funeral over, the heirsat- law assembled to listen to the reading of the will, and judge of their astonishment when it was found that the testator's entire possessions, without reserve, save libera! legacies to the servants, were bequeathed to Edna Fairleigh! "I offer this in token," thus ran the will, "of my gratitude to this woman •who taught me that there is something beside selfishness in humanity. She held my life at her mercy; my death would have inexpressibly benefited her and hers, and yet she toolno advantage of her power, b"ut periled her existence to save mine." The heirs retired aghast, and in due time Edna took possession of Wilmot Hall. She did good with the fortune left it her charge. Having known the pr'ng: of poverty herself, she relieved :V-'u always in others; and through L'T gentle ministrations, Philip Wiitn;- J wealth existed not in vain. Notice to Wheelmen.

Prolonged absence sometimes makes the heart crow fonder of the absence. Sometimes a man can tell what a girl thinks of him by what she doesn't say. No one so completely realizes the inefficiency of a superior as a subordinate. Some men are afraid to marry and some men are fearless until after they marry. When poetry becomes a drug in the market it doesn't command prescription prices. A girl's idea of sweetness is a"bout equally divided between love's young dream and mixed chocolates. The Cleveland Plaindealer is shocked because the Yaqui maidens paint their faces. And they are not afraid of the powder, either. The Great Salt lake is said to ba slowly drying up, but hopeful candidates need not fear that the great Salt river will ever run dry. An Iowa woman obtained her decree of divorce nine hours after her husband died. He is not the only divorced man who didn't mind, however. There is certainly no reason for the fiuerulous spring chicken to get gay over the rise in meat prices. The effect will undoubtedly be painful to his neck. Pocket directories containing names end data concerning the small towns of the country are now, it is said, part of the equipment of every Chicago confidence man and are of material value in rounding up the rural visitor. It is now in order for some enterprising publisher to get up a directory of confidence men, with full descriptions and other information, and circulate the same through all the rural communities. Spanish bullfighting, with its danger and excitement, though without the romance, the glitter and the gaudy costumes, can be seen almost any pleasant day at the Chicago stockyards, as wsfl shown recently when a leui ^ r n - ed Texas steer broke ioobe, killed a horse, chased the general public to the nearest fences and was finally laid low by several policemen. There is one great difference, however, between the bullfight of Madrid and the steerfight of the stockyards—the Spanish *jull is attacked, tortured and continually goaded till he dies, while the wild and woolly stock}'ards steer does the attacking on hie own hook auci apparently enjoys himself until he in either slain or captured. About 1880 Capt. Oberlin M. Carter "was put in charge of the harbor work at Savannah, Ga., where extensive improvements were projected. In 1896 Carter *was relieved and sent to London as military attache of the American legation. His successor at Savannah discovered and exposed corrupt practices on the part of Carter by which the United States government t a d been defrauded of about f2.000.000. Carter was recalled from London, tried by court-martial and found guilty on every charge. The trial court was made up of military officers of high character. The finding was that Carter should be dismissed from the army, pay a fine of $10,000 and undergo a term of imprisonment, and he will be made to serve it, too. The Illinois state fair grounds have •the reputation of being the most beautlfhl and complete of any sVnailar show grounds in the world, and a visit to them fully justifies this high standing. With the magnificent dome which distinguished the famous horticultural fcuilaing at the World's Fair from all the other buildings, as the center piece In the field cf noble buildings at Springfield, the difficulty of maintaining this example of architecture has been readily surmounted in the construction of the great buildings which Hank it on either side, and the grand j and a fool for eternity? (Copyright 1SD9 by Louts Klopsch.) Industry, devoutuess and Christian service—all commended in that short text. What! is It possible that they shall bo conjoined? Oh, y€3. There is no war between religion and business, between ledgers and Bibles, between churches and country houses. On the contrary, religiou accelerates business, sharpens men's wits, sweetens acerbity of disposition, fillips the blood of phlegmatic^, and throws more velocity into the wheels of hard work. It tives better balancing to the judgment, more strength to the will, more muscle to industry, and throws into enthusiasm a more consecrated fire. You cannot in all the circle of the world show me a man whose honest business has been despoiled by religion. The industrial classes are divided into three groups: producers, manufacturers, traders Producers, such as farmers and miners. Manufacturers, such as those who turn corn into food, and wool and Max into apparel. Traders, such QH mtike profit out of the transfer and exchange of all that which is produced and manufactured. A business man may belong to any one or all of these classes, and not one is independent of any other. When the Prince Imparial of France fell on the Zulu battlefield because the strap fastening the stirrup to the saddle broke as he clung to it, his comrades all escaping, but he falling under the lances of the savages, a great many people blamed the Empress for allowing her SQJI to go forth into that battlefield, and other blamed the English government for accepting the sa?- rifice, and other blamed the Zulus for their barbarism. The one most to blame was the harnessmaker who fashioned that strap of the stirrup out of shoddy and imperfect material as it was found to have been afterward. If the strap had held, the Prince Imperial would probably have been alive today. But the strap broke. No prince independent of a harnessmaker! High, low, wise, ignorant, you in one occupation, I in another, all bound together. So that there must be one continuous line of sympathy with each other's work. But whatever your vccation, if you have a muIlIpTIci£y~oT~ engagements, if into your life there come losses and annoyances and perturbations as well as percentages and dividend!, if you are pursued u'oir: Monday morning until Saturday night. -nd from January to January by inexorable obligation and duty, then you are a business man, or you are a business woman, and my subject is appropriate to your case. * * * Traders In grain come to know something about foreign harvests; traders In fruit come to know something about the prospects of tropical production; manufacturers of American goods come to understand the tariff on imported articles; publishers of books must come to understand the new law of copyright; owners of ships must come to know winds and shoals and navigation; and every bale of cotton, and every raisin cask, and every tea box and every cluster of bananas is so much literature for a business man. Now, my brother, what are you going to do with the Intelligence? Do you suppose God put you in this school of Information merely that you might be sharper In a trade, that you might be more successful as a worldling? Oh, no; it was that you might take that useful information and use it for Jesus Christ. Can it be that you have been dealing with foreign lands and never had the missionary spirit, wishing the salvation of foreign people? Can It be that you have become acquainted with all the outrages inflicted in business life and that you have never tried to bring to bear that Gospel which is to extirpate all evil and correct all wrongs and illumine all darkness and lift up all wretchedness and save men for this world and the world to come? Can it be that understanding all the intricacies of business you know nothing about those things which will last after all bills of exchange and consignments and invoices and rent rolls shall have crumpled up and been consumed in the fires of the last great day? Can it be that a man will be wise for time I remark, also, that business life is a school for Integrity. No man knows what he will do until he is tempted. There are thousands of men who have kept their integrity merely because they never have been tested. A man was elected treasurer of the State of Maine some years ago. He was distinguished for his honesty, usefulness and uprightness, but before u*e year tttade of interests, and promises that a a a passed he had taken of the public the fair for IBM is to be in very truth , funds for his own private use, and was "thit gnats** show on earth." | hurled out of office in disgrace. Dl*- stand, barns and sheds, which for completeness, comfort and convenience, are not to be excelled anywhere. The great fair which is to begin the last Monday in September is now absorbing the attention of the state board of agriculture and a host of artisans and laborers. Secretary Gar-' rard, although lamed through an acciis vigilantly looking after a mulover the names of men just like that, In whoso honesty you had complete confidence, but placed in certain crises of temptation they went overboard. Never so many temptations to scoundrelism as now. Not a law on the statute book but has some back door through which a miscreant can escape. Ah! how many deceptions in the fabric of goods; so much plundering in commercial life that if a man talk about living a life of complete commercial integrity there are those who ascribe It to greenness and lack of tact. More need of honesty now than ever bofore, tried honesty, complete honesty, more than in those times when business was a plain affair and woolens were woolens, and silks were silks and men were men. How many men do you suppose there are in commercial life who could say truthfully, "In all the sales I have ever made I have never overstated the value of goods;.in all the sales I have ever made I have never covered up an imperfection in the fabric; of all the thousands of dollars I have ever made I have not taken one dis-' honest farthing?" There are men, however, who can say it, hundreds who can say it, thousands who can say it. They are more honest than when they sold their first tierce of rice, or their first firkin of butte1*, because their honesty and Integrity have been tested, tried and come out triumphant. But they remember a time when they could have robbed a partner, or have absconded with the funds of a bank, or sprung a snap judgment, or made a false assignment, or borrowed inimitably without any efforts at payment, cr got a man into a sharp corner and fleeced him. But they never took one step on that pathway of hell fire. They can say their prayers without hearing the chink of dishonest dollars. They can read their Bible without thinking of the time when with a lie on their soul in the custom house they kissed the book. They can think of death and the judgment that comes after it without any flinching—that day when all charlatans and cheats, and jockeys and 'frauds shall be doubly damned. It does not make their knetrs knock together, and it does not make their teeth chatter to read "as the partridge sittcth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteh riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool." What a school of integ-ity business life is! If you have ever been tempted to let your integrity cringe before present advantage, if you have ever wakened up in some embfirrasamenL and said: 'Now, I will step a little aside from the right path and- no one will know it, and I will come all right again, it is only once. That only once has ruined -*ens of thousands of men iof this life and blasted their souls for eternity. A merchant in Liverpool got a fivepound B2uk of England note, and, holding it up toward the light, he saw some interlineations in what seemed red ink. He finally deciphered the letters, and found out that the writing had been madG by a slave in Algiers, saying in substance: 'Whoever gets this bank rote will please to inform my brother, John Dean, living near Carlisle, that I am a sla»e cf the Bey of Algiers."^ The merchant sent word, employed government officers and found who this man was spoken of In this bank bill. After awhile the man was rescued, who for eleven years had been a slave of the Bey of Algiers. He was immediately emancipated, but was so worn out by hardship and exposure he soon after died. Oh, if some of the bank bills that come through your hands could tell all the scenes through which they have passed, it would be a tragedy eclipsing any drama of Shakespeare, mightier than King Lear or Macbeth! As I go on in this subject, I am impressed with the importance of our having more sympathy with business men. Is it not a shame that we in our pulpita do not oftener preach about their struggles, their trials, and their temptations? Men who toil with the hand are not apt to be very sympathetic with those who toil with the brain. The farmers who raise the corn and oats and the wheat sometimes are tempted to think that grain merchants have an easy time, and get their profits without giving any equivalent. Plato and Aristotle were so opposed to merchandise that they declared commerce to be the curse of the nation, and they advised that cities be built at least ten miles from the sea coast. But you und I know that there are no more industrious or high minded men than thoEe who move In the world of traffic. Some of them carry burdens header than hods of brick, and are exposed to sharper things than the east wind, and climb mountains higher than the Alps or Himalaya, and if they are faithful Christ will at last say to them: "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." We talk about the martyrs of the Piedmont valley, and the martyrs among the Scotch highlands, and the street and tyrs Fulton otrect and Broadway, murtyrs of Atlantic street and Chestnut street, going through hotter fires,-or having their necks under sharper axes. Then it be* hooves ua to banish all fretfulnes* from our lives, if this subject be true. We look back tf the time when we were at school, and; we remember the rod, and we remember the hard tasks and we complained grievously; but now we see it was for the best. Business life la a school, and the tasks are hard, and the chastisements sometimes are very grievous; but do not complain. The hotter the fire the better the reflalnig. There are men before the throne of God this day in triumph who on earth were cheated out of everything but their coffin. They were sued, they were imprisoned for debt, they were throttled by constables with a whole pack of writs, they were sold out by the sheriffs, they had to compromise with their creditors, they had to make assignments. Their dying hours were annoyed by the sharp ringing of the door bell by some impetuous creditor who thought it was outrageous and impudent that a man should dare to die before he paid the last half dollar. I had a friend who had many misfortunes. Everything went against him. He had good business capacity and was of the best of morals, but he was one of those men such as you have sometimes seen, for whom everything seems to go wrong. His life became to him a plague. When I heard he was dead, I said: "Good—got rid of the sheriffs!" Who are those lustrous souls before the throne? When the question is asked, "Who are they?" the angels standing on the sea of glass respond: "These are they who came out of great business trouble and had their robes washed and made whits in the blood of the Lamb." A man arose in Fulton street prayer meeting and said: "I wish publicly^ to acknowledge the goodness of God, I was in business trouble. I had money to pay, and I had no means to pay it, and I was in utter despair of all human help, and I laid this matter before the Lord, and this morning I went down among some old business friends I had not seen in many years just to make a call, and one said to me, "Why, I am so glad to see you! Walk in. We have some money on our books due you a good while, but we didn't know where you were, and therefore not having y.our address we could not send it. We are very glad you have come?" And the man standing in Fulton street prayer meeting said: "The amount the;- paid me was six times what I owed." You say it only happened so?—You are unbelieving. God answered thai man's prayer. Oh, you want business grace. Commercial ethics, business honor, laws of trade are all very good in their place, but there are times when you want something more than this world will give you. You went God. For the lack of Him some that you have known have consented to forge, and to maltreat theh friends, and to curse their enemies, and their names have been bulletined among scoundrels, and they have been ground to powder; while other men you have known have gone through the very same stress of circumstances triumphant. There are men here today who fought the battle and gained the victory. People come out of that, man's store, and they say:, "Well, if there ever was a Christian trader, that Is one." Integrity kept the books and waited on the cuztomers. Light from the eternal world flashed through the show windows. Love to God and love to man presided in that storehouse. Some day people goins through the street notice that the shatters of the window are not down. The bar of that store door has not been removed. People say, "What is the matter?" You go up a little closer, and you see written on the card of that window: "Closed on account of the death of one of the firm." That day all through the circles of business there is talk about how a good man has gone. Boards of trade pass resolutions of sympathy, and churches of Christ pray, "Help, Lord, for the godly man ceaseth." He has made his last bargain, he has suffered his last loss, he has ached with the last fatigue. His children will get the result of his industry, or, if through misfortune there be no dollars left, they will have an estate of prayer and Christian example which will be everlasting. Heavenly rewards for earthly discipline. There "the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest." I New Scheme of Dealing Rebels 1$ Adopted. with: ASGftES$VE «0VE$ PLANNED. With the Re-enforcements on the Way to the Islands, the Commanders Are Expected to Deal Crushing Ulow* Against Affulnultio. Washington telegram: The special cabinet meeting was important. While it did not result in any radical changes of policy, the Philippine situation wast discussed at some length. Secretary of War Root explained his plans for the aggressive campaign that is to be conducted, and recommended some changes in the management of affairs in tho far-away islands, which were received with evidences of approval. He urge3 that the responsibilities in tho Philippines be divided, and that the government of the islands be intrusted to one official, while the command of the troops in the field be under tho supreme control of another. This plan is making friends in administration circles. Its adoption scema certain, and if approved, by the president will result in the assignment of Gen. Otis to be military governor anrt another officer, probably Gen. Law* ton, to the command of the troops. The cabinet decided to suspend negotiations with the ir.surgents through the Philippine commission, and the commission will be quickly dissolved. The president and his cabinet advisers have reached the conclusion that it is impolitic and unwise to maintain the commission and attempt to negotiate with the insurgents for surrender. An aggressive campaign has been ordered, re-enforcement3 have been provided for Gen. Otis; and the army prepared to deal crushing blows. The military men of the service will be given full sway. Col. Denby and Prof. Worcester, the two civilian members of the commission now in the Philippines, will be promptly ordered home, and the insurgents notified that any communications they may have to make in the direction of surrender must be addressed to Gen. Otis. Treasury Officials Worried. New York telegram: A special to the Herald from Washington, says that officials of the treasury department are taking every possible precaution to prevent the wholesale smuggling of Chinamen into the United States under the acFautnoriztng"tfienr-tcrbe brought~in to take part in the Philadelphia exposition. It is feared, however, that many Chinamen will get In who have npthing to do with the exposition, and that it will be impossible to get them out of the country again. The act is so worded that the treasury officials have no discretion but must admit as many Chinamen as the exposition managers want. martyrs at Oxford.

Jacksonville, Fla., telegram: Late Tuesday Secretary Matthews of the state board of health here received a short message from Dr. Porter, state health officer in charge at Key West, announcing two more deaths. He did not give the names of the victims. This makes five deaths to date. There are a number of new cases, making a total of about forty known of.

Marguerite Lilbourne and Mary Stellfng Bat lazily over their breakfast In • private hotel. It was April—a fair, sweet spring morning. All London was looking its very beat, and the flower sellers adorned the streets with masses of pale primroses and dainty Lent-lilies. Mary was reading a letter, Marguerite listening. '"And mother llke3 the house so much," said Mary, "and is longing for us to come down. She hopes we shall not stay In town more than a week. Can we get through everything in a week, Madge?" "Oh, I think so. I am longing to oee our new home." "We are so delighted that darling Marguerite has decided to come to us," read Mary. "The society is so nice here; we have had all the best people calling already. I am sure you will both be pleased with the garden and tennis lawns. As to Marguerite's rooms, she must choose and furnish them herself. The father wenUover yesterday to look at Bernard's estate —such a noble place, he says—magnificent timber and plenty of game. The marriage is to be on the tenth of May. Mildred i3 everything that we could wish—most kind; but I can't help* thinking now and then how nice it would have been if our Madge could have been mistress of all that splendor." '"Poor mother!" said Mary, breaking off. "She will never forgive Bruno for jilting you, Madge." "It is a great pity," returned Marguerite quietly. "I forgave him long ago." "I know you did," said* Mary; " a t least you said so; but, if it is true, why did you refuse that nice Mr. Lennox a t Nice?" "However, it doesn't matter, for it seems you will have plenty of chances. As I wrote to mother, I found it no Binecure to chaperone a pretty heiress there can be no such thing as a chance meeting, here In London." With a restless sigh she took up the newspaper and glanced idly through the news. Very charming she looked as she sat there. Her dress was tasteful— simple but costly. It set off her slender figure admirably. Her face had gained in beauty since the autumn before, though it had somewhat lost its childlike roundness, and for the present a t least the fun and mirthful mockery were hidden away. Her winter in Florence—where she had mixed in the best society—had given her an air of grace and distinction. Bernard Selwyn had shown a lamentable Ignorance of her latent capabilities whon he judged her to be unfit for an elevated position. Suddenly, as she read, the hand which held the paper began to tremble, her lips tightened, her color rose. Her eyes were fixed upon a short paragraph. "A gentleman was thrown from a hansom in the Strand last night and seriously injured. He was taken to Charing Cross hospital, whence it is not considered prudent to remove him. Letters found oh him prove him to be Mr. Martineau, of the firm of Leroy and Martineau, solicitors, London." "Madge," said Mary, pushing open the door at that minute, "do you know where Mr. Martineau is?" Marguerite started violently. Mr. Martineau! what—what made you think of h i m ? " "Well, I was just wondering how you were going to be Mildred's bridesmaid unless you got your marriage annulled?" "That is worth consideration," returned Marguerite, gravely. "Mary, would you think me selfish if I went cii on my own account this morning? I—I have some business—do you mind being deserted?" . "Not at all," said Mary, cheerfully. "Thank you, 4ear. You a r e quite Bure you don't mind?'* i i « ^ / S ^ / ^ ^ ^ V « ^ < "POOR MOTHER!" SAID MARY, BREAKING O F F . all over Europe. Oh, dear, now ditferent life was this time last year—eh, Madge?" "Oh, Mary, how different!" "Would you like to go back to those times?" "No," said Marguerite, emphatically, MI should not." " W h a t are you going to do this morning?" asked Mary, after a pause. "There a r e the bridesmaids' dresses to try on." "Yes; and to call on Mrs. Browning, and ask her if she will Chaperone us lor a few theaters." "We must take a hansom to go and see her. We will leave that till this afternoon." "Very well." "I will go and hunt out the address of this dressmaker of Mildred's," said Mary. "Our gowns will coat u s a pretty penny, Madge." "I suppose so," said Marguerite, rather absently, as Mary left the room, humming a lively air. Marguerite remained seateff, a faraway, thoughtful look in h e r eyes, as if ber mind were dwelling upon some absent one. "I catMoo* go to him," she said aloud, "and he will never come to » e . Is he In England, I . wonder? .Oh, where?

Shall I say we leave London this week, Madge?" "Yes, please, dear." Marguerite escaped. Hurrying to her room, she surveyed herself critically from head to foot in a full-length mirror—added a touch here and there, donned a particularly becoming hat and carefully selected gloves, then.running down s'airs, let herself out, and hailed a hatyom. "Stop at the first florist's you come to," she said. Having loaded herself with lilies of the valley and marguerites, she gave the cabman the name of t h e hospital, and was driven speedily tuiuier. It was not until she had paid and dismissed the cabman, and stood waiting for admittance, t h a t she i>egan to realize What she was doing; and she was frightened at her own ooldneas. "How is Mr. Martineau?" she inquired, with an air of confusion. "I wanted to hear how he is?"» "Which ward?" asked the porter. Marguerite could not tell. "An accident," she tried to explain. "The gentleman was. thrown out of a cab. and brought l a yesterday." A ray pf intelligence illuminated the porter's face, l i e d e p u t e d to make inquiries. CHAPTER XIX. Marguerite sat down upon a bench in the large lobby in which she found herself. She was trembling from head to foot. Never till this minute had she realized the force of her own feelings. Long since she had come to the conclusion that her feeling for Bernard had been merely that preference which so many young girls mistake for love. But this other feeling, which for months had been steadily growing in her heart—it had needed but the fact of Valdane's being in danger t o reveal to her the strength which it had attained. Thoughts of delirium, amputation, fever, death, came crowding upon her imagination. She was obliged to summon all her self-control to keep from breaking down. Presently the porter came back with the nur»,r>, a pretty dark-eyed young woman, with a sympathetic face. She looked at Marguerite kindly, but spoke in rather a coldly authoritative manner. • "I am very sorry. I daren't let Mr. Martineau see any one without doctor's orders, and the doctor's not here now." "Oh, but I must see h i m ! " Marguerite said, a frantic sense of helplessness stealing over her. "I'm very sorry. It's not visiting time, you know; and I got into trouble last week for admitting a visitor like this. I really am sorry. Try tomorrow." Tomorrow! He might be dead by then. Now, now was the time. Having come so far, she must attain her end; perhaps tomorrow she would not be able to screw up her courage. "Is no one admitted—not their nearest relations—when they are so ill? It is very cruel," she said. "Well, perhaps bis mother might be, or his wife." * Marguerite was past sticking at trifles now. "I am his wife," she said. "Are you?" returned the nurse, "I thought his wife was dead." "Why should you think t h a t ? " asked Marguerite. "Because he's got a wedding ring suspended from his neck by a pisce ol ribbon." "Oh, yes!" Marguerite stammered, "I know—that is all right. But indeed I am his wife! Oh, let me i n ! " The nurse was conquered, and requested Marguerite to follow her. New that her point w-is gained Marguerite was filled with all sorts of fears and was shivering and trembling as she followed her guide—now wishing from the bottom of her heart that she had not come, now utterly carried away by the thought of seeing him again.—She dared not .askjthe nurse any questions as to his. condition—she could not trust her voice. They reached the door of the private room he occupied. "Now wait here a moment," said the nurse, as she passed inside. Again the suspense was almost sickening. It seemed to Marguerite hours before the nurse returned. "It's all right. You can go in," she said: For the first tiifcx Marguerite wondered what she should do. "Is he delirious?" she asked of the nurse. "Oh, no; he's perfectly sensible!" Marguerite had expected delirium— she had net realized the fact that Val • ilane would know her. and now feit hei\^T^Tr>rrrb!e until she called forth all her strength,, physical and moral, and - walked steadily and noiselassly into the room. Thete was a slight movement as Valdane sank b'atfk upon hi^ pillows. "My wife," he sail, in a rather low, but distinct voice—"my wife. I could not believe it. But it is you—really you." The flowers fell from her hands. She made a step forward, and tried to speak, but could not, for the tears Tv-hiph overran ner eyes and fell down her face.

Caldwell, however, has brought the achievements of the X-ray pretty close to those of white light In t h e New York Electrical Review he publishes two reproductions of radiographs; one made in one-flve-thousandth of a second, the other in sixteen- thirty-fourths of a second; t h e latter Is. strong and brilliant. These pictures were made without any new or unusual method, but it was, of course, necessary to use very efficient tubes and exciting apparatus, and to develop the negative with care. The exciting apparatus consisted of a good, oll-insulatcd Induction coil, giving a fourteen- inch spark, and a liquid interrupter making thirty-four breaks per second. Current from the Edison mains at 117 volts was used. The negatives were made on celluloid films laid face down upon a calcium tungstate screen. As celluloid offers much less resistance to X-rays than glass, the film so arranged utilized the fluorescent screen to the greatest advantage. Pleasant, Palatable. Potent.

The weekly weather crop bulletin -says: Showers have been general in all parts of the state and the severe drouth is broken, bat the rainfall iu most of the lower peninsula counties was in* sufficient.

The showers of the past week have been beneficial to pastures and late potatoes. Late potatoes have improved but indicate a light crop. Buckwheat is iu very poor condition, much of it having blasted in flower, and it has tilted poorly. Sugar beets need more rain, but are still In fairly good condition. Apples continue to drop very badly and will be a very light crop. Fall plowing is well advanced in the southern counties and some seeding has beeu done. jtU6tog*n Coal Equal* die Ohio Trodact.

Private Thomas McVeigh, Co, O, 1st Wyoming volunteer infantry, was tried by a general court-martial at Imns in July, on a charge of striking his superior officer. He was sentenced to be shot to death, twe»thirds of the court •worring in the sentence.

A force of 4S& rebels, with one cannon, attacked Santa* Kits early on the morning of the 9th, an* simultaneously Guagua and San Antonio were attacked by bodies of rebels* numbering about 60 men. All the attacks were repulsed without loss to the- Americana. Col. Bell and his regiment, while attempting to take the rebels- In the rear, met two small patrols- and succeeded in capturing a rebel captain^ a lieutenant and six privates. Mail advices received: a t the war department from Manila- state that the natives of the island of Satnar are praying for the speedy arrival of the Americans and wil} welcome the-hoisting of the American flag. It is said that as a result of the forcible* collection of taxes by the emissaries of tbe insurgents, who take all they have got, the natives are in a state ot semistarvation. The war department has information concerning the escape from Aiguinaldo of Dr. Gonzalez and Sr. Ronifacio Arcvalo. These men were in t h e insurgent camp for some time, and being' very wealthy they were assessed quite heavily to assist the cause. Gonaale* was offered the position of minister of foreign affairs by Aguinaldo, but declined. So far 5.320 men have been obtained for the 10 new volunteer regiments last authorized, of which number 530 were enlisted on the llth. The- full quota of the 10 regiment is 13,090 men. The regiment most successful in recruiting Is the 30Lh, Col. R. L. Bullard commanding, at Fort Crook, Neb. The enrollment of this regiment is 725. The burgeons' report in regard to the condition of Gen. Mac Arthur's division, show that St) per cent of the offloera and 25½ per cent of the enlisted men are sick. This includes the sick in quarters and those sent home. Eleven per ceut of the enlisted men sick in quarters, itre mostly suffering from dysentery and malarial fevers. The navigation bureau of the navy has issued a list, of vessels of t h e United States nnyy of all kinds, making the surprising showing of 312.craft.

Five o'clock on a July afternoon—an afternoon hot everywhere, hottest of all here in London; a dreary, shadelees house in a dingy square; a small sjpstairs room—half schoolroom, half sitting-room; an open window, at which much dust, much sunshine and little air came in; and near the window, sitting rigidly upright in a low chair meant for lounging my Aunt Jane, talking reasonably, mapping out mu future life for me tranquilly, but with decision. I sat and listened in silence; Meg, leaning back against the cushions of t h e shabby little sofa, put down her novel to listen, too. Dora, with her sewing in her hands, became suddenly Indolent. Aunt Jane talked on and no one interrupted. I fancy I hear her still—her calm, even, unemphatic tones, that expressed such rational sentiments, such unromantic, excellent common sense. When I shut my eyes the whole scene comes .back to me. I am seventeen again, a schoolgirl still, in a little shabby, outat- elbows frock, with my hands hot, my Angers ink-stained, and my open school books spread out before me; and once again the fear of Aunt Jane is falling upon mc like a weight. Aunt Jane made cowards of us all; •we never dared to oppose her plans. When she spoke decisively we were accustomed to assent with meekness. And of all Aunt Jane's household I was the meekest member, not because •I was by nature more meek than others, but because Fate had unkindly used me and had made me a poor relation in Aunt Jane's house. Meg and Dora dared sometimes to smile derisively as they carried out her tyrannical orders—dared to obey her with a little air of indifference and grand carelessness, as though their obedience was a matter of choice and their chooelng to obey were an accident; but then Meg and Dora were her stepdaughters— not her nieces; house room, m u l i i i i n t i i m i u M n i H t i H i m m u i u u t u t f He hopes by and by to relieve us of our responsibility." "But—but I don't understand," I said. "You are surprised, of course," continued Aunt Jane in her quiet, even tones. "I was surprised, too, I own. It seems, Kate, that he means by and by to marry you." There was a moment's pause. Meg and Dora glanced up quickly at me, with looks half comical, half commiserating. I had nothing to say, or, rather, because I had so* much to say, I could say nothing. "My dear child, push your hair out of your eyes and sit upright!" Aunt Jane commanded. "We had quite a long talk—John Mortimer and I. Of course he sympathizes with us; he knows that our means are not unlimited, and that we have Meg and Dora to provide for; he knows all that we have done for you all these years, and of course, too, he cannot help feeling that things would have been different if his father had acted uprightly. He feels most keenly all that you* have suffered through his father; but he cannot do more than he means to do. He means to take you off our hands as soon as possible; he is waiting to speak to you himself. He thinks he ought to wait, so he says, until you are less of a child. And I must say, Kate, that for a girl of seventeen, your manner Is most foolishly, most absurdly childish, and most misleading." Another pause followed. Aunt Jane rose from her chair and stood at the window, looking down with a disapproving glance at the dusty square and a weary little errand boy who was seated on his basket, resting. P *e «ently, with a sigh of relief, she turned to us again. "The more I think of this, the more satisfactory it seems," she declared, reflectively. "I hope you feel, Kate, how gny* of him—how considerate of him —such an offer is! You are such a child still; in the ordinary course of I am today. As for blushing like a baby, as you are doing now, that was a trick I was cured of before X left off bibs and pinafores." There was an impressive silence. After a minute or so Aunt Jase moved to go; but she paused Just opposite me and regarded me with attention, with an air of dissatisfaction. "vv> shall give notice for you to leave school this term," she observed, slowly; "and you can turn up your hair at once. 7)o see, Meg, what you can do to make her look presentable. John Mortimer is coming in this evening, Kate, to see your uncle. Put on another dress and come down stairs; and pray for once leave your schoolgirl manners behind you!" CHAPTER II. A minute more and Aunt Jane tras gone. The door clicked sharply behind her, her dress rustled thrqugh the passage, her steps descended the stairs; then we breathed more freely. I put my elbows en the table and covered my cheeks with my hands and looked across at the girls who faced me, and the girls, following example, put their elbows on their knees and their chins on their upturned palms, and looked back a t me in silence. Suddenly their blue eye3 twinkled, they glanced at each other, decided that the situation was comic, and laughed merrily. "He's a paragon!" said Meg, "Poor little Kitty! Will you like to marry a paragon?" For a moment I had hesltated.scarcely knowing whether to laugh or cry. The girls' merriment decided me; a lump seemed to rise up in my throat; the tears filled my eyes, overflowed, and fell fast upon my open Euclid." "Why, Kitty—crying! You are never crying?" laughed Dora, in mock reproof. "My dear, this is base ingratitude! Reflect—let us reflect on his virtues." "Turn up your pigtail at once, Kitty," interrupted Meg, with gravity. "The paragon objects to pigtails—to the juvenileness of them. Let down your frock, my dear; the paragon will never think of addressing a young person who shows her heels and the holes in her stockings. Dry your eyes, Kitty, my child; take comport—the paragon means to marry you." Their merriment seemed heartless,; I would not answer. I clasped my hantfs tightly above my forehead, and gaztd at the open page 'of my Euclid, which my tears would not let me read. "But what does all this mean?" said Dora presently, in a musing tone. "Has he really spoken to mother—and why? He can't be in love with you, Kitty; he's old—quite old—gray-haired or nearly, and you're a little chit of a high school girl—not clever, not rich, not anything—not even pretty." "No, I kaow,H I agreed, with humil- -ttyr — — A Trlpla Tragedy. Beckville, Panola county, Texas, is excited over a triple tragedy. J as. Forsythe, a highly respected young man, and Ollie Simpson, a belle of the neighborhood, eloped and were married recently. When Andrew Simpson, the girl's father, learned of the wedding on the l l i h he started after the couple on horseback. As he rode up to Foray the's home he saw his son-inlaw fleeing through the orchard. Be brought him down with seven buckshot in the groin, leaving him for dead. King H. Forsythe, father of James, came out of the house unarmed, to see what the trouble was, and was instantly killed with a load of buckshot in the abdomen. Simpson then dismounted and ran into the house with his pistol, saying he would kill his daughter, but young Foray thes mother seized and held his pistol until the girl escaped. Simpson then walked out and put the revolver to his forehead, killing himself instantly. Young Forsythe may recover. Arrested for Their Charitable Act. Three men who have been engaged in supplying food to M. Guerin, the president of the anti-Semite league, who, with a number of companions, have entrenched at the headquarters of the league, in the Rue de Chabrol, at Paris, since August 12, were arrested on the 12th after a struggle with tha police, during which one gendarme was badly kicked in the stomach. The prisoners had secured rooms opposite the bouse, known as Fort Chabrol, from which, by night, they passed food to him by means of a rope. N e w Counterfeit S 2 BUL The secret service has discovered a new counterfeit ¢2 silver certificate. It is of the series of 1896, check letter "C" Bruce register, Roberts treasurer. It is printed on two pieces of soft thin paper, pasted together, no attempt having been made to imitate the silk fiber in the genuine. It is apparently a zinc etching, the lathe work and portraits are especially bad and the counterfeit should be readily detected. 'YOU ARE SURPRISED, OF POURSE," CONTINUED AUNT JANB. "Then why does he want to marry you?" persisted Dora. ^Because he is a paragon, dear, said Meg. I looked up at her with a swift, tearful, inquiring glance. "Yes. that's it," I echoed drearily. "I understand—I understand it all; it's because—because he is so good." ''Perfect!" corrected Meg. "Yes, so perfect," I agreed. "He wants to be kind and to make things better for me; I always knew that he was trying to be kind. When he talks to me he is always so gentle—so much more gentiC tvUin when he talks to you. I know why it is—I have always known. He Is thinking of that money of mine. It hurts him to remember that his father took it away from me and made me lose it all. He wants to prevent things from being horrid for me, and BO—so he has thought of this." My tears were falling fast on the open pages of my Euclid. There was a spell of silence in the room; no one ebntradicted my explanation of John Mortimer's motive. Through my tears 1 looked up at Meg and Dora, and read M c K i n l e y N o t a " S c a b .

A long list of benefits, grudgingly given, borne clearly in xnind by the giver, oppressed me constantly when Aunt Jane was by. Aunt Jane had brought us unexpected, astonishing news that a f t e r n o o n - news that concerned me chiefly. John Mortimer, she told us, had been with her since luncheon; he had been talking to her confidentially and most sen- •ibly, and had relieved her mind of one treat worry. "For of course, Kate, you have been a worry," she exclaimed, looking at m e with unsmiling canter.

L o s t things you could not have expected a home of your own for years to come. You must have gone out as a governess— that was inevitable—-your uncle and I could not have maintained you in Idleness. And how many governesses marry, I wonder? But you understand, of course, that John Mortimer was speaking to me, Kate, in confidence; you are to know nothing of the matter. He wished to say nothing to you as yet. You are to behave quite naturally, remember, but to strive to talk pleasantly and sensibly to him and to impress upon him that you are not a child. That is why I am telling you this. If he means to propose to you, there is no reason in the world why he should delay doing so." "He might repent of his intention," said Dora, in a grave voice, but with a little smile as she looked across at me. "He thinks you too young to know your own mind," continued Aunt Jane, severely; "and no wonder he thinks yon so young, when he finds you, aa he did yesterday, with your fingers in your ears, saying your Euclid aloud!

During the past few . months, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad has materially extended the runs of the passenger locomotives on through trains. Formerly engines were changed on an average every 100 or 150 miles. It was thought that the mountain grades of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad would prevent an extension of the runs. However, the experiment was made. It has proved successful and reduced the number of locomotives formerly required by twenty-four, which can be used in other branches of the service and save the purchase of more motive power. Under the new plan, locomotives are double crewed and make from 7,000 to 8,000 miles a month, as against 2.500 to 4,000 under the former method. A r e Yon Using Allen'* Voot-Kasc?

All New York city is astir this month, with preparations for t h e rece ption of Dewey. Already the hotels are overcrowded and one wonders where all the new arrivals will be lodged; for two million visitors are expected. One enterprizing Brooklyn paper has offered to take the names and addresses of all persons willing to take roomers during the three day's celebration and thus assist all strangers in finding lodging for t h e night. One feature of the celebration is to be a large frame work placed in the center of the Brooklyn Bridge, with letters formed of colored electric, lights, reading "Welcome to Dewey." They are to be thirty feet high and t h e piece three hundred feet long. This is so placed that it faces the entrance to New York Harbor and will be plainly seen by Dewey when he just comes through the Narrows. The fireworks committee h a s furnished every ; inhabited dwelling on the shore of t h e bay, in New Jersey as far asSeabright, and on the Long Island side as far as Rockaway with red fire. This with the fourteen boats which are to furnish continuous fireworks will make the harbor a grand sight. Although Dewey i s expected to arrive on t h e afternoon of t h e 28th there will be n o demonstration til) the day following. T h e Oiympia will anchor off Tomkinsville L. I. at the head of t h e line of war ships which is to be formed there. One of the main features of t h e land decoration will be t h e great Triumphal Arch, which is being erected in Madison Square. adiiBTrcTiSqira^ the workshop where the different sculptors are engaged in modeling the figures for the arch. This is constructed much on the style of the famous Triumphal Arch of the Emperor Titus. Already two artists have died from overwork and a third had a stroke of paralysis. It is said that if these artists, had been paid for their labor, instead of having offered to do it gratuitously, it would have taken $250,000. to meet their bills. A committee has charge of t h e decorations of t h e fronts of t h e houses along Fifth Ave. and have chosen blue, white and gold to be used. Large masts, reaching across the street are to be draped with laurel and also the columusof large statues of victory, which.are to be placed at regular intervals along the street. The stand from which Dewey will review the parade, is to be erected near the arch aud will seat 1,800 people. All the National and city guests will occupy this stand. On t h e morning of t h e 30th, the city of N. Y. through Mayor Van Wyke will present Dewey with a loving cup, in front of t h e City Hall. The Oiympia accompanied by the vessels containing the committees, will, on the 29th anchor in the Hudson opposite Grant's tomb. Following will be t h e fleet of yachts and vessels of merchant marine. Then ships of squadron, Dewey fromr the bridge of the Oiympia, reviewing them. It is t-xpected that the display of fireworks which will follow in the evening will outshine anything ever before attempted iu this line. Paine, who always has plenty of novel fireworks in store, has announced that the following will l>e among the pieces to be set off in he evening: Pictures of Ollympia, in fire 1- 000 feet square. The Southern Cross, made by explodiug shells. Illumination of entire river by 500 lbs. aluminum fire and a mam- ! moth portrait of Dewey with the words, "Well done, Dewey." On Sept. 30, immediately following the presentation of the loviug cup, Dewey will be driven, under the escort of a squadron of cavalry, to Claremont, where a breakfast will be served to him and 400 invited guests, on the lawn. At noon Dewey accompanied by the Mayor will ride at the head of the land parade. The sailors of the Oiympia have not been forgotten and a "Smoker" will be tendered them on the evening of the 30th a t t h e Waldrof- Astoria, w^ich is one of the finest hotels in the world.

A few temptations beset the industrious, but all temptations assail the idle. If we could see ourselves as others see us it would be a severe blow to our ambition. One man ie just as good as another, but he usually considers himself a little better. Only ft baseball umpire is great enough to exhibit his indifference to public opinion. It is with ideas as with pieces of money—those of least vnlue generally circulate the best. Porerty palls the most generous spirits; it cows industry and casta resolution Itself into despair. If you want to see a strong organization, look at the liquor dealers; If you want to see a weak one, look at the consumers. Time may be money, but the man who is compelled to spend a lot of time in looking for a job Is apt to have other views. Those who can oee nothing but goodness in the world and those who can aee nothing but badness will bear considerable watching. The only difference between speculation and peculation Is a little crookedness. The fact that there is a little crookedness about the letter "a" ex* plains this. "It is not truth alone that makes literature," says John Burroughs; "it is truth plus a man." We can make the saying serve the present purpose toy changing a single word. It is not truth alone that makes a cause; it is truth plus a man. Herein is the secret of true leadership; a cause and a man —a truth to be told—and a man to tell it,—The people want the-truth~-after-U is driven home to them against their will. They will love the man who dares to preach the truth, but not till they have accepted the truth. The Farmers' federation of the Mississippi valley, alias "the farmers' trust," has been duly organized. It has elected officers, a business manager included. The object of the federation is to save money to the farmer by revolutionizing the mode of marketing his products. It Is claimed that the present cost in commissions for marketing the products of the Mississippi valley is $21,000,000. The business manager of the federation says he can do the same woTk for $1,000,000, and thus save the fanners $20,,)00,001 Then he must be a business man of phenomenal ability, able to earn millions for himself if he chose to do so. The Western Union Telegraph company employs many girls. Their duties are chiefly to file dispatches and perform such routine office work as requires little skill. In spite of the fact that the wages paid are very small, there are always many more applicants than the company can employ. This is the way they are met: Every girl who applies is questioned as to her age, education, residence. These facts are filed for future reference, and she is advised to call again at the end of fonr months should she not before that timo hear from the company. The majority of the applicants never call a second time The applicant must appear in poison, and this is a test of perseverance, which Is a quality held in esteem by the company, and other things being equal, Is likely to lead to an engagement (Copyright 1899 by Louis Klopsch.) The best music has been rendered under trouble. The first duet that I know anything of was given b£ Paul and Silas when they sang^praises to God and the prisoners heard them, The Scotch covenanters, hounded by the dogs of persecution, sang the psalms of David with more spirit than they have ever since been rendered. The captives in the text had music left In them, and I declare that if they could find, amid all their trials, two hundred and forty and five singing men and singing women, then in this day of gospel sunlight and free from all persecution there ought to be a great multitude of men and women willing to ding the praises of God. All our churches need arousal on this subject. Those who can sing must throw their souls into the exercise, and those who cannot sing must learn how, and it shall be heart to heart, voice to voice, hymn to hymn, anthem to anthem, and the music shall swell Jubilant with thanksgiving and tremulous with p^.don. Have you ever noticed the construction of the human throat as indicative of what God means us to do with it? In only an ordinary throat and lungs there are fourteen direct muscles and thirty indirect muscles that can produce a very great variety of sounds. What does that mean? It means that you should sing! Do you suppose that God, who gives us such a musical instrument as that, intends us to keep it shut? Suppose some great tyrant should get possession of the musical Instruments of the world, and should lock up the organ of Westminster Abbey, and the organ of Lucerne, and the organ at Haarlem, and the organ at Freiburg, and all the other great musical instruments of the world—you would call such a man as that a monster; and yet you are more wicked if, with the human voice, a musical Instrument of more wonderful adaptation than "all the musical instruments that man ever created, you shut it against the praise of God. "Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our God; But children of the Heavenly King Should speak their joys abroad." • * * I congratulate the world and the church on the advancement made in this a.-t—the Edinburgh societies for the improvement of music, the Swiss singing societies, the Exeter Hall concerts, the triennial musical convocation at Dusseldorf, Germany, and Birmingham, England; the conservatories of music at Munich and Leipslc, the Handel and Haydn and Harmonic and Mozart socleities of this country, the academies of music in New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Charleston, New Orleans, Chicago, and every city which has any enterprise. Now, my friends, how are we to <!•*- cide what is appropriate, especially for church music? There may be a great many differences of opinion. In some of the churches they prefer a trained choir; in others, the old-style precentor. In some places they prefer the melodeon, the harp, the cornet; "in other places they think these things are the invention of the devil. Some would have a musical instrument played so loud yo\i cannot stand It, and others would have it played so soft you cannot hear it. Some think a musical instrument ought to be played only in the interstices of worship, and then • with indescribable softness, while -others are not satisfied unless there be Btartling con traBts~amt ~staccato~TTas=- dlstlnctlon between music as aa art and music as a help to devotion. Though a Schumann oompesjed K, though a Mozart played it, though a Sontag aang it, away with It if It does not make the heart better and honor Christ. Why should we rob the programmes of worldly gaiety when we have so many appropriate songs and tunes composed in our own day, as well as that magnificent inheritance of ohurch psalmody which has come down fragrant with the devotions of other generations—tunes no more worn out than they were when our greatgrandfathers climbed up on them from the church pew to glory? Dear old souls, how tjiey used to eing? When they were cheerful our grandfathers and grandmothers used to sing "Colchester." When they were very meditative, then the boarded meeting hous? rang with "South Street" and "St. Edmund's." .Were they struck through with great tenderness, they sang "Woodstock." Were they wrapped in visions of the glory of the church, they sang Zion," Were they- overborne with the love and glory of Christ, they sang "Ariel." And in those days there were certain tunes married to certain hymns, and they have lived in peace a great while, these two old people, and we have no right t c divorce them. "What God hath joined together let no man put asunder." Born as we have been amid this great wealth of church music, augmented by the compositions of artists in our own day, we ought not to be tempted out of the sphere of Christian harmony and try to seek unconsecrated sounds. It is absurd for a millionaire to steal. I remark also that correctness ought to be a characteristic of church music. While we all ought to take part in this service, with perhaps a few exceptions, we ought at the same time to cultivate ourselves in -this sacred art. God loves harmony and we ought to love it. There is no devotion in a howl or a yelp. In this day, when, there are so many opportunities of high culture in this sacred art, I declare that those parents are guilty of neglect who let their sons and daughters grow up knowing nothing about music. In some cf the European cathedrals the choir assembles every morning and every afternoon of every day the whole year to perfect themselves in this art, and shall we begrudge the half-hour we 6pend Friday nights In the rehearsal of sacred song for the Sabbath? Another characteristic-must be spirit: and life. Music ought to rush from the audience like the water from a rock—clear, bright, sparkling. If all the other part of the church service Is duIL-da not~have-tfae music dull. With BOMB GOOD JOKES. ORIGINAL. AND SELECTED. A Variety of Jokes, Gib** and Ironies*.

Come, now, clear youi throats aad get ready for this duty, or you will never hear the ecd of this. I never shall forget hearing a French* man sing the "Marseillaise" on tht Champs Elysees, Paris, Jus* before tht battle of Sedan in 1870. I never saw such enthusiasm before or since. Af he aang tbat national air. oh, how tht Frenchmen shouted! Have you evei in an English assemblage heard a band play "God Save the Queen"? If you have, you know something about the enthusiasm of a national air. Now, I tell you that these songs we sing Sabbath by Sabbath are the national airs of the kingdom of heaven, and if you do not learn to sing them here, how do you ever expect to sing the song of Moses and the Lamb? I should not be surprised at all if some of the best anthems of heaven were made up ot some of the best songs of earth. May God increase our reverence for Christian psalmody, and keep us from disgracing It by our indifference and frivolity. When Cromwell's army went into battle he stood at the head of it one day and gave out the long-meter doxology to the tune o^-the "Old Hundredth," and that great host, company by company, regiment by regiment, division by division, joined in the doxology: "Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly h o s t - Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost." And while they sang they marched, and while they marched they fought, and while they fought they got the victory. O, men and women of Jeeus Christ, let us go into all our conflicts singing the praises of God, and then, Instead of falling back, as we often do, from defeat to defeat, we will be marching from victory to victory. "Gloria in Excelsis" Is written over many organs. Would that by uur appreciation of the goodness of God and the mercy of Christ and the grandeur of heaven, we could have "Gloria in Excelsis" written over all our souls. "Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, Is now, und ever shall be, world without end, Amen!" 8© Father Barf* I wish that I'd been grandpa'© That I could had the Joy Of fishing in the good old days When father was a boy.

But, while there may be great varieties of opinion in regard to music, it aeems to me that the general spirit of the Word of God Indicates what ought to be the great characteristics of church music. And I remark, in the first place* a prominent characteristic ought to be adaptiveness to devotion. Music that may be appropriate for a concert hall or the opera house or the drawing room may be inappropriate in church. Glees, madrigals, ballads, may be as innocent as psalms in their places. But church music has only one design, and that is devotion, and that which comes from the toss, the swing and the display of an opera bouse is a hindrance to the worship. From such performances we go away saying: "What splendid execution!" "Did you ever hear such a soprano?" "Which of those soloa did you like the better?" When, If he h a * been rightly wrought upon, we would have gone away saying: "Oh, how my soul -was lifted up in the preseaoe of 0e4 While they were singing that 0rst hymn!" "I never had such ".pturous views of Jesus Christ as my Savior aa when they were singing tl at las* doxology so many thrilling things to sing about, away with all drawling and stupidity. There Is nothing that makes me so nervous as to sit In a pulpit and look off on an audience with their eyes three-fourths closed, and their lips almost shut, mumbling the praises of God. During one of my journeys I preached to an audience of two or three thousand people, and all the music they made together did not equal one skylark!

In order to a proper discharge of this duty, let us stand up, save a* apre or weakness or fatigue excuse us. Seated in an easy pew we cannot do this duty half so well as when upright we throw our whole body Into it. Let our song be like an acclamation of victory. You have a right to sing; do not surrender your prerogative. If in the performance of your duty, or the attempt at it, you should lose your place in the musical scale and be cne C below when you ought to be one C above, or you should come in half a bar behind, we will excuse you! S-HI, it is better to do as Paul says, and sing "with the spirit and the understanding also." assigned to them will start forth to count the population and to acquire such other information as congress has decreed shall be a part of the twelfth* decennial census of the United States. These enumerators will have two weeks in the citiea and four weeks In the country in which to gather their information, and will count each person as belonging to the city or town of which he was a legal resident on June first. Scene —Country police station, Young countryman, aspiring to become a member of the force, is being examined. • Inspector—"Of course you are aware you'll have a lot of night work to dof You are not afraid of being out late, 1 suppose?" Countryman's Mother (breaking in) —"That'll be all right, sir. Hla old grandmother's going round with him the nrst two or three nights, u&tilhe~ gets used to It!"—Punch, Again, I"remark church music must be congregational. This opportunity must be brought down within the range of the whole audience. A song that the worshipers cannot sing is of no more use to them than a sermon in Choctaw. What an easy kind cf church it must be where the minister does all the preaching and the elders all the praying and the choir all the singing! There are but very few churches where there are"two hundred and forty and five singing men and Binging women." In some churches it is almost considered a disturbance if a man let out his voice to full compasa, and the people get up on tiptoe and look over between the spring bats and wonder what that man is making all that noise about In Syracuse, N. Y„ in a Presbyterian church, there was one member who came to me when I was the pastor of another church in that city, and told me his trouble—how that as he perflated in singing on the Sabbath day, a committee, made up of the session and the choir, had come to ask him if he would not just please to keep still! You have a right to sing. Jonathan Edwards used to set apart whole days for singing Let us wake np to this duty. Let us sing alone, sing In our families, sing in our schools, sing in our churches. Whether this is the best time in the year to take the census has long been in dispute. Previous to 1830, August first was the date on which the count began. This shows that the summer vacation habit had not then developed. June is now almost too late. Most students of statistical science think April or May would be a better time, and Mr. Carroll D. Wright, in a census bill which he drafted a few years ago, made April first the date for beginning. Congress was conservative, however, and preferred to make no change; but by 1910 it is probable an earlier month will be chosen. The objection to beginning the enumeration on June first comes from the cities, most of which are ambitious to show as great a growth as possible. When the census reports are not aa favorable as had been expected, the cry of "Inaccuracies in the census' la usually ralaed. It is doubtless true •that the summer migration to the country does result In some errors and oversights in an enumeration begun In June. The Christmas holidays are a favorite time for census taking in Europe, but in America the heavy snows of the Northern states would make any winter month impracticable. Even in April the country roads in the extreme North are heavy with mud, and travel k almost impossible. The difficulty in fixing a date adapted to all parts of the great republic is a forcible reminder of the extent of its territory and the diversity of ita cli mate and physical conditions. l a Hard Laek.

The manager threw tho manuscript 'down upon the table, tilted his chair, thrust his hat a little further backjjn his head, and,gave two. or three a&J4»- flcd puffs at his cigar., "We've got a winner there, Colby," he announced decisively. The stage manager took up the manuscript and looked over the list •of characters. "Looks like It—If you get the right people," he assented; "but it call* lor a atroufc company." "Oh, I won't spare expense! I'm going to give it a production that will * make it the talk of London. It's splendidly advertised already, you know! The people are crazy over Crlnton's -work, and this is the best thing he's done. Supposing we could get the people, how would you cast it?" "Beverly, of course, for Lord Rothflay, Norris for the heavy, Ellerton for young Hal, Barry for Sir Jerry, Benton for tho low comedy, Mrs. Frlsby for the dowager, Carbridge for the earl he's the best old man on the stage. AB for the adventuress," went on the stage manager, checking off each name rapidly as he spoke, "Lady—what's her name?—I don't know a woman who could beat Wallace in that role. She'd be great! Little Dellaboy would make a good Kitty Darling—the part suits her down to the ground!" The manager took his cigar from his mouth, and gazed at it meditatively. "Don't let such a trifle a* the salary list bother you," he commented briefly. Colby stopped his checking to look keenly at his chief. "You've got to have the best," he answered. "I know they're a i r high-priced, but it will pay you to engage them." "How about Lady Clare?" asked the manager. "You've mentioned nobody t)r that, and it's the star role of the piece." "I don't know. I've been running that over ever since I read the play and nobody I've thought of seems toequal it. There's Maud Lester—she'd look the part to perfection, and she's sympathetic, but she hasn't the power. Helen Dracy's got power and intelligence, but she hasn't the looks. Can you suggest anybody? The success of the piece depends on Lady Clare." "I know of only one woman who can play it as it should be played, and has the looks to go with it," said the manager. "That's Edith Kingsle? " The stage manager shr'c&.ed his shoulders. "Her declination was very decided," he remarked. "I've kndwn women to change their CAN YOU ANSWER THAT ARGUMENT? minds occasionally!" said the manager, with flippant sarcasm. "But she said her retirement -was flpal—that she would never act again." The manager bestowed a look of pity on his subordinate. "Kingsley had the world at her feet when she married and retired two years ago. She's had time to think It over, my boy; the novelty of private bliss must have worn off somewhat by this time." Colby gave another look at the manuscript "If you can get her it's a success," he said. He had too much on his mind to en* ter into the ethics of the philosophy of a woman's change of mind. The manager gave another self-satisfied'puff at his cigar. "I'll see Kingsley today," he said. Two hours later he was ushered into the pretty drawing-room of a bouse in a fashionable quarter of the city. With his practiced eye be took in the handsome surroundings, while the neat maid carried-hie card to her mistress. "She's got all the money she wants," thought the manager; "but money isn't everything, to an ambitious woman." . Something on a< table near by attracted his attention. He went to it, and took up a large tinted photograph of a beautiful, grave-eyed girl in Juliet's bridal robes. "H'm!" he chuckled. "She hasn't forgotten her old triumphs." As he put down the picture the mistress of the house entered the room and greeted him w|th outstretched hand. "How glad I am tb see you, Mr. Runt. Is this a social >isit?" With a keen, professional sye to effect he looked on the beautiful woman before him—on the queenly pose of the stately figure, on the deep-set flashing dark eyes, with their long lashes ahd perfectly curved brows, on the -straight, patrician nose, with its thin? delicate nostrils; on the small red mouth, with its short upper lip and its Cupid's bow; on the white, resolute chin, cleft with a deep dimple; on the delicately clear cheek, with its faint rose-flush; on the soft wave In the masses of velvety black hair; and the managerial heart within him rose in revolt against this waste of youth and beauty on the desert of private life. "My dear Miss Kingsley—I beg pardon, Mrs. Arnold—I have come In person to urge the offer I made in my letter." "But I answered your letter!" she replied, smiling, but with a very decided curve to the red lips. "I am happily married—my old ambitions are dead." The manager's eyes turned in a swift glance toward the Juliet photograph. Her voice dropped suddenly. "I never had a home before; I lived on the stage." "Jfcst child-actress we ever had!" promptly broke in the manager. "Now, listen to me." He pulled out his watch. "Will you give me half an hour? I want to show you what you are throwing away. Nature had endowed the manager with a gift of plausible eloquence which had tided over many a crisis In his theatrical career; but never had he sounded so plausible, so eloquent, even to himself, as when he tried his persuasive powers on the woman before him. When his half-hour was ended he felt that be had made good use of it. "Don't think me inhospitable if I must ask you to say goodby," she said, as she held out her hand. "You have spoken very persuasively, but I can not answer you at once. I have a dear friend—a very dear friend—whom I must consult. Come tomorrow, and you shall have my answer." When the manager walked into the office his face was glowing. "I think you may cast Miss Kingsley for Lady Clare," he said. The stage manager looked up incredulously. "You don't mean to say she has consented?" "Well, she's to talk it over with a friend, and I'm to go for her answer tomorrow. But I rather think, Colby, that friend is going to decide in our favor." The manager still felt sure when he went next day for his answer. It was not in human nature, he argued, to refuse to sparkle as a bright particular star in the leading production of the season. "That woman isn't human if she resists it," he murmured, just as the tall, graceful figure he was mentally, posing h.efore_the newspaper camera entered. "Well?" he said. "I have consulted my adviser, and I am convinced that my original decision was best. <s^> The manager groaned aloud. "My dear Mrs. Arnold," he said, "I think, if I could see your friend and talk to him, I could convince him that you are making a mistake." She shook her head. "His opinions are very positive." "You don't object to my calling on him?" She smiled. "Not at all. And he Is very near— In fact, he happens just now to be in the house. Will you come with me?" The manager followed her, a little mystified. She threw open a door, and they entered a large room flooded with sun- Bhine. "Here is my friend, Mr. Hunt. He 13 ready to hear all your arguments." tonishment He found himself standing at a little crib in which lay a fat, round, rosy baby, crowing to himself in perfect content. "The gentleman wants to talk to you, darling," she said, bending over, with a tender thrill in her voice new to the man standing beside her, well as he thought he knew its every accent. The baby's great bright eyes looked up at them; then, as he saw his mother's face bending over him, he gurgled ecstatically, while the little face broke into dimples of delight, the fat little fists clutched eagerly at her, and the bare, rosy little heels beat a triumphant tattoo in accompaniment to the gurgles. "Mam-mam-mam!" he cooed, rapturously. She turned to the manager with shining «yes. "Mr. Hunt, can you answer that argument?" By this time the manager had recovered himself. "My dear madam, this is hardly fair——" he began. "By-toy," said the baby.—Answers. FIBST ROTHSCHILD. BoMla* Milk for Coffee.

CHINA'S IEARON AUTOCRAT. At the time of the French revolution, there lived at Frankfort-on-the Maine, in Germany, a Jewish banker, of limited means, but good reputation, named Moses Rothschild. When the French army invaded Germany, the Prince of Hesse Cassel was obliged to riy from his dominions. As he passed through Frankfort, he requested Moses Rothschild to take charge of a large sum of money and some valuable jewels, which he "eared mlght_ otherwise fall into the hands of the enemy. The Jew would have declined so great a charge; but the prince was so much at a loss for tho means of saving hia property, that Moses at length consented. He declined, however, giving a receipt for it, as in such dangerous circumstances he could not be answerable for its being safely restored. The money and jewels, to the value of several hundred thousand pounds, were conveyed to Frankfort; 'and just as the French entered the town, Mr. Rothschild had succeeded in burying the treasure in a corner of his garden. He made no attempt to conceal his own property, which amounted only to six thousand pounds. The French accordingly took this, without suspecting that he had any larger sum in his possession. Had he, on the contrary, pretended to have no money, they would have certainly searched, as they did in many other cases, ahd might have found and taken the whole. When they left the town, Mr. Rothschild dug up the prince's money, and began to make use of a small portion of it. He now thrived in his busincss.and soon gained niuch wealth of his own. A few years after, when peace came, the Prince of Hesse Cassel returned to his dominions. He was almost afraid to call on the Frankfort banker, for he readily reflected that, if the French had not got the money and jewels, Moses might pretend they had, and thus keep all to himself. To his great astonishment, Mr. Rothschild informed him that the whole of the property was safe, and now ready to be returned, with 5 per cent interest on the money. The banker at the same time related by what means he had saved it, and apologized for break TV h e n t h e E m p e r o r a a y a I t I s H u m m e r , I t 1» S u m m e r . Th* emperor has some Rtringe duties. One of these is the ordering of the seasons, says the Youth's Companion. It is. aummer in America rthen the sun warms the earth, and not till then, but in China it is summer when the emperor says it Is summer. As soon as the emperor declares that summer has come everybody in China puts off winter clothing and arrays nimseK in summer garb, no matter what his feelings say on the subject. All domestic arrangements are made to suit the season, as proclaimed by the emperor, although they may not suit the individual at all. The nearest approach to the Chinese custom of ordering the seasons Is the practice observed in France in all public buildings. There it is winter on and after Oct. 1. Fires are then lighted in all government offices and the servants exchange their white summer waistcoats for the thicker and darker ones of winter. At that date the public libraries are closed at 4 and In the streets the sellers of roasted ahestnuts make their appearance. In official France it Is winter, no matter what the weather may say. /^SS # ' PSHS Dizzy? Then your liver isn't acting well. You suffer from biliousness, constipation.

"By the way," said a lady at a dinner party, "do you know that there are i times when it is dangerous to enter an I Episcopal church?" "What is that, madam?" said the bishop with.a dignity, straightening himself up in his chair. "I say there are times when it Js positively dangerous to enter an Episcopal church," she replied at once. "That cannot be." said the bishop. "Pray explain, madam?" "Why," said she, "it is when there is a canon in the reading desk, a great gun in the pulpit, when the bishop is charging the clergy, the choir is murdering the anthem and the organist is trying to drown the choir."

Y., were lighted by 586 oil lamps on dark nights, and nights which should be moon light, according to the almanac, the lamps were not lighted. > Only 100 of the lamps held sufficient oil to burn all night, the remainder being supplied with a scant gill of fluid. The city fathers assumed that they would burn until after midnight, and all honest citizens ought to be in bed by that time. They had not yet begun to realize that well-lighted streets were more effective than a large police force in preventing crime. S a b a t l t n t e a .

A T E THE '-•• Ing upon the money, by representing that, to save It, he had had to sacrifice all his own. The prince was so impressed by the fidelity of Mr. Rothschild under his great trust, that he allowed the money to remain in his hands as a small rate of interest. To mark,-also,-his gratitude, he recommended the Jew to various European sovereigns as a money-lender. Moses was consequently employed in several great transactions for raising loans, by which he realized a vast profit. In time he became immensely rich, and put his three sons into the same kind of business in the three chief capitals of Europe—London, Paris and Vienna. All of them prospered. They became the wealthiest private men whom the world has ever known. He who lived in London, left at his death $35,000,000. The other two were created barons, and died not less wealthy. Thus a family, whose purse has maintained war and brought about peace, owes all its greatness to one act of honesty under trust. S t o r y o f a Long* B e a r d . Cornelius Breckenridge of Taliaferro, Ky., was in town the other day and while talking to a friend he thrust his hand under his waistcoat and pulled out a snowy white beard which reached almost to his knees, says the Denver Times. "I am going to tell you an Incident of my life that has never before been made public," he said. "That beard of mine is now thirty-one inches long and the cause of its length is all due to the fact that I once made a bet. When the war broke out I was one of the southerners who enlisted and fought with the confederates. Quite naturally my feeling toward Abraham Lincoln was not of the best. When old Abe came up the second time for election I said to a friend: 'Bob, if old Abe is elected I will never again shave.' 'Well,' said Bob, 'If Abe Lincoln Is not elected I will never shave.' Both of us agreed it should stand as a bet and the election day rolled around and the result is well known."
