Maxwell remained behind; as a phy- •iciah l i ^ WAS too famtliar with death to, be awe*i fcr tysi. of A wan. who h a # been atoest * granger to him and had never possessed his sympathies. Scarcely had the immediate relatives left the room, when, to the magistrate's horror,(he toqk a seat close .beside him. "Let me give you our warmest thanks," ho said, in the' friendliest tone. "Now pray order the rest of the dinner to be served. I'll call the waiter at once." ''* 4,No, thank you," replied the old gentleman, .uneasily. "I lister to lejw at once.

The young- eouple, - to whom _ you will doubtless be ready to yield precedence, start first; and until then I shall have the honor of entertaining you." Mr. Thompson glanced timidly at his neighbor's coat-pocket, where he knew that the revolver was concealed, but did not venture to decline* the offered entertainment and yielded to his fate. Fortunately he was not subjected to too long a trial. r Meanwhile a short but touching scene had occurred in the sick room, where Florence, amid burning tears, saw her father draw his last breath. He passed away in sleep, without regaining consciousness. Harrison's death broke the chain which bound his dajighterv ______ Weak and irresolute as Florence had seemed^ the inevitable found her calm, and the con'sciousness of the ' peril which every moment's delay increased for her husband sustained her -strength. She knelt to kiss the dead sprang on the box himself. The carriage dashe<4_off at the horses' utmost speed. ~ Five minutes later, the magistrate's face appeared tin the open doorway, and behind him the tall figure of his clerk. Both gazed curiously and timidly after the carriage, which was no longer visible. Only a cloud of dust in the distance showed that the spirited animals were doing their duty. "There they go!" said the justice, drawing a long breath. "Thank heaven! That Doctor Maxwell is Satan incarnate!" horrible fellow!" echoed the clerk. "I believe he would have shot us both down in cold blood if you hadn't performed the ceremony." "Yes, a horrible fellow!" repeated Mr. Thompson. "But an original, remarkable. gh_aractey, too; and he has a very high regard for me. He told me so three times." CHAPTER XIL It was sunset at the Union camp. Colonel Burney had summoned all the officers of the regiment^ to one of the little/festivities which are often improv_ Se3 on the march or in camp. A certain feeling of anxiety pervaded the group. Lieutenant Roland, though expected every minute, had not yet arrived. The colonel had no reason to conceal, the fact that he had g|ven the young officer a leave of absence or its purpose. True, dangers and risks were everyday occurrences in this war; people regarded them as matters of course and wasted few words over them, but Roland was, as his friend expressed it, "the darling of the regiment." "I ought to have refused the leave," said Colotfel Burney, angrily. "I fear ^ . "AH, THERE COMES WILLIAM." man's brow and bid him farewell; nothing now held her to Springfield. Meanwhile William, in a low tone, gave the old servant the necessary orders. > "Ralph, we shall leave <the care.of your dead master in your hands. You will render him the last services and remain here until the funeral is over. Then seek us at the place I have described to you. Escape is not difficult now', and the toad' is not 'long* See that Edward Harrison is not found and released before an hour has passed. He is gagged and bound, but there is no danger concerning hie life. The longer you can prevent his being xiiscovered the greater will be our chance.of safety. If you are questioned, you know no nrore than the other servants and had the best intentions in bringing the message. They cannot help believing, you, and in vthree days we shall expect you." Florence had also risen and held out her hand, to the old man. "Farewell till we meet again, Ralph! I cannot even attend my father to the grave, and must leave the last offices to be rendered by the hands of strangers; but he will forgive me; he knows i&at. my husband's life is at -jtake. Farewell." The carriage bad rolled up to the terrace outside. They avoided the way through the ante-room, where all the servants had assembled. William led his wife through the drawing-room, where Maxwett Joined them, after taking a friendly leave of Mr. Thompson and assuring him of his high regard. The young couple entered, John took the reins from the driv- ,«r'i hands* ordered him to remain and the matter will end badly. He ought to have been here long ago, had the adventure proved successful." 1 "We often reconnoiter within/the enemy's linos." o r ^ nf thp nfflrPT^ remarked, "True, Roland is alone, but he is less- likely to attract attention on that account. The dangers which threaten him on way—" "Are the least," interrupted the colonel. "What I fear is treachery within the house where he believes himself safe. He would listen to no counsel, but I had a presentiment of evil from the beginning." "We won't anticipate the worst at present," remarked another officer. "Roland may be compelled to make a circuit or wait for the darkness. Doctor Maxwell has not returned, either." "Maxwell is at the outposts; there is no danger in that quarter. I am glad that my fears concerning the fever proved groundless. n The doctor sent me the most reassuring news." "Good evening, gentlemen!" said a familiar voice at the door. "Thi# solemn assemblage is probably on account of the victory of which I heard on my arrival. It will give an unexpected turn to the campaign." "And a fortunate one," replied the colonel, beckoning Maxwell to enter. "Sit down, doctor. We were just speaking of your friend, who has not yet. returned. I am beginning to bji seriously anxious about him," / "William is already here,"/said Maxwell, taking the"protfered seat. "I left him five minutes ago." Vs "Thank heaven! So yoir met him on the way back?" / "No," We returned frxfei Springfield together." \ / T "From Springfield? What were yon doing th«re?" "Very different things—'some pleasant, some disagreeable. In the first place, I .had to bring Lieutenant Bor land from behind iron bars, then tosecure the worthy Mr. Harrtaon, who wi*hed to hrand US as spies; then to subdue all Springfield, including a justice of the peace, and, finally, to act as best man—all in a single hour. I think, gentlemen, I have accomplished the utmost amount possible within this brief time." The officers glanced first at one another, then at the speaker whose love of banter they knew, and the colonel said disapprovingly: "Don't jest, doctor. Such things arc no laughing matters. If Roland is really here, why doesn't he report at once?" "Because he is escorting Mrs. Roland to his quarters. One can't blame a man who has been married only three hours, if he cares first for his young wife, He will be here punctually at sunset." "His wife? Do you mean Miss Harrison?" "Pardon me, I mean Mrs. Roland, who has accompanied her husband. I mentioned that I atte_nded the wedding." The words sounded so plain* and positive that doubt was no longer possible. But Maxwell was now assailed with questions from all sides. Everybody pressed forward, and he found himself compelled to relate briefly what had happened. "Our return was accomplished without the least danger,'* ne said, In conclusion. "In an elegant carriage and accompanied by a lady, we were beyond the pale of suspicion and reached the outposts safely, where Lieutenant Davis received us with the utmost courtesy and went into raptures over Mrs. Roland. But he is right. William is a dare-devil and. incorrigibly . obstinate, but we must admit that he has good taste.? His wife is charming." The last remark seemed to interest the younger officers extremely. They wanted to learn all sorts of particulars about Mrs. Roland and wjere greatly disappointed when, informed that the young bride was very nYctefiT agitated by her father's death and probably would see little of her husband's comrades for some time. ~ "Ah, there comes William!" he exclaimed, interrupting himself. "Congratulate him. He wears his new dignity somewhat timidly." It was ,really William, who had come to report his return. He was warmly greeted by all. The colonel especially received him with great cordiality. * "Welcome, Lieutenant Roland! Here you are at last! Doctor Maxwell' has already told us the whole adventure AVOID DANOBFt. of which you were the hero." "Not I but John Maxwell was the hero," said William, holding out his hand to his fri,end with ill-repressed emotion. "Had it not been for him, I should have lost happiness and life. I ^hall never forget what he did today." ' Maxwell laughingly refused his thanks. "Let that pass, WilU we shall wrangle again at the very next oppoi> tunity. Germans and Americans always quarrel, and our armistice won't last long. Today I risked "my life for you; tomorrow you will, perhaps, peril yours fo? me; so we shall be quits. At any rate, you returned punctually —at sunset!" He pointed toward the window. The sun was just sinking below the horizon; and its last beams were fading. "Yes, I gave my word of honor that I would do so," said William, with the deepest earnestness. "Eut that I ! * • Dao««r of Cmtmrv*.

Do the same amount of work on half the ground and you will get the^ame results, and the other half of the ground can rest.

It doesn't cost anything to be polity and it often pay a enormous dividends. A man has the same kind of respect for a bully that he has for a mule's heels. No man ever tries t o argue with his wife after t w o years of wedded happiness. $ The man behind the red nose has knocked out Alabama's proposed dispensary law. There are times when jim crow car legislation savors strongly of jackpot statesmanship. The change in Chinese emperors would make a job for the coroner in almost any other country. Whenever the demand for kisses exceeds the supply a young man is always anxious to establish a balance of trade. An individual whose ideas are vague as to his own duties usually has very clear ideas as t o the duties of his neighbors. Should France and Germany intervene in the Transvaal controversy the act could not fail to arouse the Irish of Senator Hoar. ' If a collision could be arranged between the one-eyed mountaineers of Kentucky and the three-card mountaineers of Chicago, it would be worth going miles to see., Admiral Dewey has had all sorts of experience in boats, but something different will come to him when he take3 that proposed trip over Chicago's all- "mud route to the Mississippi. Four American steamers designed for the Pacific trade are each to be 730 feet long, with a capacity of 22,000 tons. Borne of the builders say the transpacific l i n e n of the future will bo 1,000 feet long. Spain has nobly vindicated in honor and wisdom in deciding to renew and maintain the treaty relationships which subsisted between that country • and the United States before the war. Spain means, that is to say, to make the best of its altered circumstances, turning its face toward tbe light instead of sulking In the shadows. "From the frying pan Into the fire" is one of Spain's own proverb3, whjch happily it does not intend to adopt as its rule of conduct. The Puerto Rican problem presents some difficulties, Under the colonial 6ystem of Spain, the islanders enjoyed certain commercial privileges, in sending their products to Spanish markets, which they have now lost without receiving any compensating advantage from their connection with this country. The result has been great poverty* and distress. If the products of Puerto Rico were to be admitted to cur great markets free of duty, it would please the Islanders, but displease many of the tobacco and the sugar-raisers who are afraid of this competition. In these circumstances the proposal has been made in Congress to levy upon Puerto Rico goods one-half of the regular rates of duty. Whether Congress has a right to levy upon them any duty is a much disputed constitutional question. • ,- The Brazilian minister to the United Btaies has been endeavoring to encourage the importation into this country of Yerba mate or Paraguay tea, to take the place to some extent of Chinese tea. Yerba Mate is a stimulant used generally throughout South American countries. Most Americans who visit Southerfa countries become fond of the drink, though it seems doubtful if it will ever take the place of tea in this country. Our consul-general at Rio Janeiro in a report to the state department recommends Its use, however,, as an excellent stimulant and nerve tonic. "It 1¾ pre-eminently a temperance drink," he says, "and the temperance societies in the United States could do a very useful work by helping to popularise i t Yerba mate, hjkft all the stimulating and sustaining qualitfes of Chinese tea or of coffee, without the detrimental ~en*ect caused bf their constant and excessive use— offectlon of liver and kidneys, irritation of the nervous system, etc.—and It' is very cheap.

A wealth of historic recollection hovers about the w-rid-famous Mount Vernon,- where Washington, the first president of the American republic, lived and died. The magnificent old estate on the banks of the Potomac river, but a short distance from the capital city,' annually attracts thousands of visitors from all over the earth—visitors whose chief aim when coming i o Washington for the first time is to look upon the spot where the "Father of His Country" spent his life. No one could conceive a more charming spot for the'location of a mansion at once so grand and so historic. High above the southern bank of the river Potomac the estate is located. It rests on the nighesT'part. of the hilly territory which characterizes the vicinity, and the mansion with its barns and surrounding buildings is half hidden from the gaze of river pilgrims by stately trees which have stood there .scores upon scores of years. Closely trimmed lawns and carefully pruned shrubbery give an added touch of beauty to the environments of the old-time mansion and the snug-clipped hedges which surround the court at the rear of the house remind one strongly of the days gone by. Mount Vernon is an imposing relic of the century past; a reminder of the days when colonial architecture was at its height. Eight tall pillars guard the broad piazza at the front of the house, and a picturesque balustrade of latticework ornaments the edge of-the piazza roof. From the front veranda one may catch a glimpse of the silent river as it THE RESIDENCE OF WASHINGTON. sweeps onward t o tbe sea. The rear of the mansion is typical-of old Southern days. A broad courtyard,witb gravel walks and well-kept lawns, stretches away from the white-painted juansion to the woodland at the rear.* Roomy horse sheds extend back from the main building on either side, and lead the eye to where greenhouse and immaculate dairy aad carriage sheds stand. The hothouse is stocked with the rarest of plants, and is one of the points of Interest which always attracts visitors. The stable wherein is kept the famous chariot in which Washington rode is another attraction^ for the excursionists, and although the coach is fast dropping I n t o j i state of dilapidation, and is so 8haky~that no one is allowed to touch it, it remains a point of great j.

Down near the steamboat landing, where the crowds of sightseers are landed from the river steamers, is the tomb wherein are interred the remains of Washington and his wife, the caskets encased in marble sarcophagi, and kept from the public by means of iron bars over the doorway of the otherwise open tomb. The interior of the mansion is filled with relics of the gre^t man who lived there, and from papers in his own handwriting to the bed on which he died, mementoes of Washington are everywhere. Followed No Creed. One of the most characteristic of Washington's traits one that a student of his character expects to find, is the indifference with which he treated religious controversy. He was the most tolerant of men. Tom Paine, hounded to death by priests and people, never received anything but real kindness from him, and although in a fit of "righteous anger" he spurned the dedication of the deist's famous or infamous attack on Christianity, going even s o far as to order the public hangman t o burn the book, it is doubtful if in his heart he cherished any real disdain. He had been born and bred in the Established Church; it never occurred to him to inquire' into the why and wherefore of any religious dogma. This easy-going tolerance perhaps contributed as much as anything to his success; for even as he was not sufficiently orthodox an Episcopalian to antagonize the sects, s o his brpad, all-embracing-Christianity could torgive even the unbeliever. And it is not indubitable that he had not thought Some men have there been whose greatness has lain in that they held their tongue. The Washington Monument.

A largo delegation from Alaska is at Washington for the purpose of urging congress to enact some legislation under which a government may be, organized in that territory.

A t leaat that la what X had supposed until a fet> diya ageft B u t just recently it has been demonstrated to me and to many others here in New York, that the marvelous inventions of Professor O&as, E. Tripler are being actually put to the most Important and practical uses. At this very moment at the Tripler Works and Laboratory, in West 8Mh street, this city, "Liquid Air" is being made In large quantities daily at a very small coat, and it is being sold to all the leading hospitals in "Greater New York," where its use has already proven of the highest value. , Its use is an economical power for navigation, for stationary engines, and for all' purposes requiring large and cheap power, is'fully assured because of the extreme cheapness with which it can be made by the Tripler process, and already very many large users of power are inquiring of the Tripler Liquid Air Co. as to making arrangements for its use at their works. Numerous applications for such privileges to use it are coming in to the Company's New York office, No. 11 B'way, daily. But these gentlemen have decided to not consider these propositions until after the installation of the plants which they are nojiLputting up at the Paris Exposition and in London, Hng. Applications from every state in the union as well as from many foreign countries, have been received by the Parent Co. here, for permission to organize local companies to make and sell Tripler Liquid Air, and it is the policy of the Parent Co. to dispose of their rights in the several states and abroad to companies of high financial standing, retaining a large controlling interest in each subsidiary' company. Thus the stockholders of t h e Parent Co. will become the owners of a majority of the stock in alt these minor companies, and receive enormous dividends in consequence. This is the same policy, that was pursued so successfully by the Parent Bell Telephone Co., and all the world k n o y s the pecuniary results.' '• The use of "Liquid Air" for refrigerating purposes alone will bring in many millions to the Tripler Co., as every refrigerating plant will, eventually adopt it because of its superiori t y in every way to that of the present ways of refrigerating, and its economy as well.

The class of 1901 organized one day last week with officers as follows: President, Will Dunbar; Vice Pres., Chas. Poole; Secretary and Treasurer, Miss Maude Richmond. The class at present has only four members—two girls and two boys. We often wonder how it was that our- grandparents, knowing nothing of microbes, bacoilli, germs sernm and modern sanitation and hygiene, managed to eat three square meals a day, raise a brood of a dozen children and live to be four score.

Labor Commissioner Cox has issued advance sheets of his-annual factory inspection report which give in a concise form the results of the inspection during1 the year. The total number of factories inspected was 4,739 and the number found running on the date of tye inspection was 4,438, the number idle being 301. . The employes canvassed had worked on an average 10.4 hours per day and had been employed On an average 10¾ months during the year. If the factories had been running at full capacity 1SS,330 workmen would havo been employed, which •vypuld be an average of 40 for each factory. At the time of inspection there were employed 131,332 males and 23,- 2¾ females, a total of 154,5:13 employes. Of this number 4,014 were between the ages of 14 and 16 years. Under the law no child under* 14 years of age is permitted to work in a factory and this t provision is said to be rigidly enforced. The pay rolls of the factories canvassed aggregated §213,904 per day, an average of $1.39 for each employe. The averages vary iri"the different inspection districts and are highest in the northern part of the state. Nearly 75 per cent of the factories report increased business averaging about 18 per cent over that of 1898, and 545 factories report ah increased investment of capital amounting to $6,531,884, or an average of nearly $12,000 to each factory. There were also 201 .new establishments reported with an investment of nearly $5,000,000. Accidents were reported in 153 factories aggregating 1^9 persons ^killed or injured. Of this number nine accidents resulted from steam boiler explosions. Burglar Shot at South Rock wood. Shortly before 1 o'clock on the morning of the 15th burglars were detected at work in John Strong's store at South Rock wood. Mr, Strong-has his house and store connected by a burglar alarm, and it worked to perfection on this occasion. At the first souud of the alarm Mr. Strong hustled out of bed, donned his clothes as hasjtily as possible, and, summoning several neighbors repaired to the ..tore. As the party neared the store building its members spread out so as to surround it. Theft as a warning to the burglars Mr, {Strong shouted "Come on boys, w e have them in a trap." In an instant there was a crash of breaking glass, the burglars jumping through a rear window in an effort to make their escape. Fire was opened on the, fleeing men, about 10 shots in all being fired. One of the men sank to the ground, but his partner escaped. The wounded man gave his name as Jas. Murphy, of Wyandotte. He made a full confession and also gave up the name of his accomplice. Murphy is about 18 years old. ' Burglars Cnsoeeoesfal at pel ray. Safe crackers who evidently knew their business but lacked nerve made an unsuccessful attempt to empty the big; safe in the Delray Savings bank at Beiray on the night cjf the 13th. The burglars gained entrance through the reaj door of the building, which is a one, story brick, erected as a temporary home for the bank. They evidentally used dynamite as the force of the explosion shattered the six-inch outside door on the safe, while the burglarproof steel doors were badly bent, but not enough to loosen the lock bolts of the big lock. Aside from the theft of two fine revolvers and the damage to the safe the bank lost nothing. The January Death Rate. ! There were 2,636 deaths returned to the department oflstate for the month of January. Ttiis corresponds to a death rate of 13.0. This is slightly higher thaa the rate for the preceding^ monthyWhich was 13.3, but much lower t h a n i h e rate for January, 1899, which was 10.2. The death rate for Indiana ior the month of January was 12.7. As / compared with the proceeding month there is very little change in the mortality from any cause of death reported, except from pneumonia, cerebro spinal meningitis and influenza, each of which showed a considerable increase. On the whole, the month was a very favorable one. To Buy Sugar Beeta ta Indiana. ' A syndicate of Michigan capitalists has offered to purchase at $4 per ton the. sugar beet product of 7,000 acres of land in the Kankakee (Ind.) region. This immense acreage was secured for the building of a $500,000 plant, but the promised capital for the construction of the factory is not forthcoming. It* is said that two Michigan sugar beet industries are negotiating for the purchase of the Indiana product. - The school at Danaville has been closed on account of diphtheria.

The board of state anftiior at its next meeting will probably consider the advisability of offering a substantial reward for the apprehension of Gen. Will Whitd. There is no incentive for anyone to chase after him. The promoters of the proposed Flint- Fentoo electric road now-aay that they will build it next summer. It is also their intention to extend the line through Holly, Davisburg, Clarkston and Waterford to Pontiac. Chicken thieves are getting in their work in the vicinity of Oxford, a t d poultry raisers—the legitimate kir d— have to sit up nights to see that tl e r biddies do not mysteriously disappear during the wee sma' hours.

Agents of the Benton Harbor sugar factory who are canvassing Van Buren county for contracts are offering 75 cts. per ton extra for beets if the state pays the bounty of one cent per pound, and will alsb allow farmers to ship in the beets any time after they are ripe. Geo. Nye, recently convicted in Detroit on the charge of perjury, has, through his attorneys, applied to the supreme court for an order admitting him to bail, pending the disposition of his case which is about to be tak~ehT~to the higher court on a writ of error. When.Sam Smith and his wife, who live near Osseo, returned home on the 10th after spending the evening with a neighbor, they were attacked by two men secreted in their house, who used sandbags with good effect. Robbery is supposed to have been their motive. Sparta citizens have petitioned the council to give them a chance to vote on the proposition to purchase land for a public park and playground somewhere in or near the village, and it is likely that the request _J¥ilLhe_gra in time to settle the matter at the regular. spring election. The total amount of beets received a t ^ e Michigan factories up to Feb. 1 was 210,971 tons, from which an aggregate of 30,106,113 pounds of sugar was manufactured. If the beet sugar bounty law of 1897 is constitutional the state will have to pay a total of $301,061.13 for sugar manufactured up to that date. The big cooperage plant which was destroyed by fire_at Escanaba recently will be rebuilt immediately in that city, notwithstanding the rumors that the industry was to be removed to Menominee.

A part of the attorneys on both sides held a meeting on the 16th and discussed several plans for consolidating the various injunction cases in order to avoid a clash between the different state courts, in which they are pending, but a final understanding was not reached.

Miicrnm Speaks at L»*t. Chas. U. Macrum, former U. S. consul to Pretoria, at last givei3 his reasons for leaving South Africa. It seems that since the war broke out he bad been obliged to serve in the position of a British consxil and not an American consul; that orders issued by him to Americans in the Transvaal, instructing them that they must remain neutral, were disobeyed, many of the U. S. citizens taking the oath of allegiance to the republic that they might assist tlie Boers, and. finally his. viceconsul, Mr. Van Amerigen, closed up l a r g e s t Salt Ever Started In America. The announcement in the papers on the 14th that the long threatened clash of the steel kings had been finally precipitated by H. CT Frick filing the <^[ widely heralded suit against Andrew Carnegie and the Carnegie Steel Co., praying for an equitable accounting of thejex-chairjaan's Kt,n^khniHings ••? t^f giant steel company, created a sensation in financial and manufacturing circles at Pittsburg, Pa. ' The suit is regarded as the most important' ever filed in connection with the steel business, and it is said more money is at stake than in any legal^ proceedings ever brought in this country in which all the parties were simply citizens. Steel manufacturers view the trouble as a bitter personal struggle for supremacy and are_jwatching each move with intense interest. has been a fugitive from justice for two months. Arrangements are being perfected at Houghton by which a new city hall and opera house will be built this season at an estimated cost of upwards of $100,000. —The Presbyterian society at Brighton has puchased a large residence in the village for a parsonage, and expects to j build a 810,000 church on the. adjoining property. The superintendent of the poor of Branch county has started- a crusade against the selling of liquor to men whose families are being supported by the county. — — - : Philip J. Mogk, of Detroit, charged with an attempt to influence the Nye jury was convicted and sentenced to pay $f>0 fine and serve six months in .prison on the 10th. Farmers around • Brighton are being victimized lately by a man who claims to have lost his farm buildings, cattle and crops by fire, and is soliciting contributions to give him a start again. There are 2,072 farmain Cass county, averaging 120 acres each. This average is higher than that of any other county in the four southern counties except Livingston, in which the figure is 121. Numerous horses around Grand Blanc, Genesee county, have been Btrickened-with some disease the exact [bonusof,$4 nature of which is not yet.knpwn, and a good many deaths have been reported. within four months. ;'] It has been discovered that the records in one book of deeds in the Washtenaw county register's office are rapidly fading out, and they are to be copied into a new book before they are gone altogether. The book in question was made back in 1838,^ and the ink, unlike most of that which was used years ago, was apparently of a poor quality. Although blanks were sent out in December to 2,215 manufacturing and mercantile corporations calling for their annual reports as""required by law, so far only 394 concerns have filed their reports. The time limit expires on March 1. There is a fine of $25 and $5 per day for failure to comply with the.law, and the secretary of state will enforce the penalty this year. The undertaker at Sutton's Bav is apparently just as much of a believer in advertising as men in other lines of business, and has adopted some of their methods in setting his wares before the public. In a recent issue of the local paper he says: "We have just receivexLa large invoice of new fancy shrouds, fancy casket trimmings, etc. Call and see them before you die." Register of Deeds Royce, of Shiawassee county, has almost completed his report to the "ftate tax commission on the number of mortgages on file in his office. He has already listed 3,600, and believes the number will reach 4,000. The information complied for the commission is very valuable, and will doubtless yesult in the taxing of considerable property that has heretofore been covered up. The villages of Morrice and Perry have long been rivals, but.in the last two years Perry has had a little the best of it in the way of a boom. Lately, however, Morrice has made a. rapid stride forward, the principal thing being the electric lighting plant recently secured. ...Now the village is offering a a oar ta-^any drover who h i s business and went t o the front as~ar burger. All this together with the fact that his mail was opened and read by the censor at Durban, after being held for weeks, prompted him in pursuing the course he did, believing that his report of the existing state of affairs at Pretoria should be made by him in person to his home government.

On the 12th the Boers forced a retirment of the western outposts including the withdrawal from Cole's kop and all surrounding posts. They placed a 40-pounder on Bastard's nek, commanding the surrounding country and successfully shelled the British positions. The Boers numbered some thousands and were five to one w h e r - ever fighting occurred. The British' are chafing under the necessity of a retreat from their posts, some of which they had held since the new year. The British now have no camp west of Rensburg. They safely brought off Jbh e_ g u n s irom Cole's kop. -Severe fighting occurred during the British retreat, the outposts on both sides suffering heavy losses. A British dispatch from Rensburg dated Feb. 13, says there has been hard fighting for two days near ColeSf burg, the Boers making strenuous efforts toputflank the British left. The liogrs occupies strong positions froin Achtertang, through Potfontein to a point five miles south of Jasfontein. The fighting at the outpost camps has been very severe during the last few days. On the 13th the Boers attacked the position of the Wbrcesters, to the southeast of Colesburg. Fighting 'continued all day, and after dark it was; considered necessary to withdraw tp itensburg. Our losses are not ye t Soudan Chletatn Suffer* a Crushing Defeat M.L Decrais, -minister of the colonies, on the 15th received a telegram from the governor of the French Congo, M. N. De Lamothe, announcing the defeat in battle of Rabah, the principal chieftain of the central Soudan, by a French expedition under M. Gertil. Rabah has long been the strongest opponent of the extention of French influence in the Soudan. He was formerly a slave of Zebehr Pasha, himself a great Sudan ruler, but revolted -and formed a kingdom of his own in central Africa, subjugating potentate after potentate until he became head of a vast empire. His career of victory gained for him the name of the "African Napoleon." The French have been fighting his power for years, and his overthrow was a surprise to many.

Y., was found dead^ outside the Grand Union hotel, in New^ York on the 13th. He had either fallen or jumped from a fourth-story window of the hotel. The speculation about the manner of death led to the conjecture that the man may have been seized by a fit of temporary insanity from rheumatic pains and jumped out of the window in the night, or that he was a somnambulist and had walked out of the vMndow and clambeved over the fire escape. The body was tak,on to Copenhagen for burial. — • I . — I l l . — I ) | , , . M l . Mil , Will Sell Direct to Farmers. The board of directors of the state penitentiary of Kansas, on the 12th deeded to hereafter sell the entire out* put of binding twin of the Kansas penitentiary direct to the farmers. Implement dealers in various parts of the state had offered to purchase the entire output, but, it is said, the prison officials learned there was reason to believe that the binding twine trust was back of some of the dealers. The plan will become effective after March 20. There is now more than 75,000 pounds of'twin* iff stodk at the prison warehouse, — known. The British armv, for the first time sinqe the war began, is inside the Boer frontier^ Lord Roberts, with at least 40,0fiti infantry, 7,000 cavalry and 150 guiJL has turned the Magersfontein linea; before which the British forces have been encamped for 10 weeks, and, w i t h half of his corps, he is already operating on Free State territory. JV battle has not yet been fought, but Targe tactical advantages have been gained. The relief of Kiraberiey is within measurable reach, and the way to Bloemfontein is appreciably easier. The besieged diamond city, Kimberley, which has been shut up for the past 122 days, was relieved . by (Sen., French's forces on the evening of the 15th. One of the principal reasons for the siege of Kimberley by the Boers was to effect^ a capture of Cecil Rhodes, who was held to be responsible for the Jameson raid into the Boer territory, and also for bringing on the present war. If Mr. Rhodes was still at Kimberley when Gen. French reached there he was doubtless overjoyed at his presence. During the fight at Rensburg the British had one entire company killed and two companies cut off. Col. Conynham was shot through the heart at the outset of the engagement. Nine wounded officers and 35 men were received. at the Naauwpoort field hospital, but the number of dead is not given. On the 12th Gen. Botha, a- Boer commander, with a small force, crossed the Tugela river to a deserted British camp where he encountered 50 Lancers, of whom 13 were killed, five wounded and nine taken prisoners. One of the prisoners waj^sent to tell the British to fetch their wounded. . Fifty-seven young and stalwart men sailed from N e w York on the French line steamship La Gascogne on their way to Boers lines in South Africa on the 15th.

They were out on the verandah in the cool of the evening, old Caleb Lor* tng, in a rocking chair, smoking his corn-cob pipe; Bertha, his daughter, swinging in a low hammock, and her husband, Edmund Hackett, who was perched upon th« wooden balustrade. Wilton Loring was there, too, lounging in a canvas chair and smoking a "domestic" ciga|. The verandah ran round three sides of a modest frame house, all painted white, with the exception of its bright green shutters. Edmond andJBertha, recently married, lived here itf the outskirts of Wasningtoh with the head of the family. Wilton had run down from Philadelphia, where he was cashier of t h e Rancher's National Banlc. They we:e all grumbling over their meagre incomes. "Uncle Sam," remarked Edmond Hackett, a quiet, steady going sort or fellow, v^ell advanced toward middle life, "Uncle Sam is not generous, to us boys and girls of-the Civil service. We handle between "igh upon a, million dollars -every working day, and give our lives to the mill horse business for a bare subsistence." "Since I've been cashier of the Ranchers' National," said Wilton Loring, "I've had enough money pass through my hands to make rae crazy with thirst for it. It's like being— "Don't like to hear you talk like that, Wilt; my son," remarked Old Caleb, with a quick shake of his head, as if a mttsquito had settled on him. "Thoughts of that kind sometimes materialize into deeds you'd be sorry for." ''Humph! I'm not^so s u r f I shan't one d a y l r y to pinch "something," pursued Wilton, with a wink at his sister. "But big steals are the sort to succeed nowadays. To make a corner in something or other; to float a salted mine, or a bogus building society. That's the game." "Tut, tut!" protested the elder Lbring, with fierce expectoration; but Bertha mischievously took up her brother's humor. "There's a fine chance now I've got into the counting division at the Treasury," said she. "Say now, why not make up a family combination? You, Wilton, are cashier at the 'Ranchers,* .and you're constantly having old bills to send int6 the Treasury for redemption. You 'pinch,' as you call it, a thousand-dollar greenback, and forward the packet to the Treasury endorsed as containing one more bill than it actually does. That packet comes to me to be counted and examined. I just pass it as containing the number of greenbacks specified. On it goes to Edmond, my husband, whose duty It chances to be to checic my count. Smart Edmond finds one bill short; but seeing his Bertha's initials on the wrapper, he just winks a little, and the packet, with, say ninetynine bills instead^of one hundred billy against the new ones to that value which he sends back in exchange to the Rancher's Bank through the Division of Issue; See?" "Ha, ha, ha!" laughed Edmond Hackett, disposed to enter into any joke conceived by his adored little wife.-"How. we could bleed Uncle Sam and help ourselves to the salaries ne ought to pay us." "Have done! Have done!" burst out the old man. "If* I believed my son and my daughter and my daughter's busband were capable of such roguery I'd fetch out my gun and fill you full of holes, every one!" He meant it. His usually placid features were distorted and purple with indignation, and the stem of the pipe he held snapped in the angry grip of his fingers. Wilton flung himself back in a fit of hearty laughter, but Bertha, perceived that the joke had gone too far. "Father! dear father!" She exclaimed soothingly. "You know us all better'n that, sure. We were just poking fun; weren't we, Edmond? Besides, such a combination as I figured out couldn't be anyway." "Quite impossible!" averred Wilton, getting over his mirth. "Well, I reckon it's improbable in the last degree," said Edmond Hackett. "So, as opportunity makes the thief, and we shall have no opportunity," added young Loring. "the whole three of us'n have to be honest, will we, or won't we." "You, know, father," urged Bertha* to calm the old man, who muttered and protested still, and seemed to have taken fright at the very thought of a breach of trust, "there are nine indies in1 the Counting Division besides my- Belf, and Wilton's imaginary short packet might go to any one of them instead, of to me." "And if Bertha did get it and past It," remarked Hackett, to clinch the argument, "there are plenty of fellows in the Secretary's office who check the counts beside me, and one of them would spot her'oversight' Even if the short packet came to me, it would he useless for me to wink, for I should have one-half the bills. They are cut longitudinally," ho added for Wilton'* information, turning to his brotherin- law; "one half—the lower sectionreomes to the Secretary, and the upper goes to the office of the Register, to be checked there." "J^e should need another confederate in the Register's," put in Bertha. "The steal would be caught to a certainty In the Register's office." "Unless—by Caesar! we've the whole bag of tricks. The combination you figured out is not only possible, it is here in our hands. Dad Is the Senior Counter in the Register Division. The big bills go to him. This is marvelous. If fortune is disposed to do us a good turn, here's the method all ready, cut and dried. I nobble a thousand-dollar bill at the bank, and send a packet of ninety-nine into the Treasury endorsed as 100, Bertha passes it through the Counting Division, Edmond gets the lower half in the Secretary's office, notes his wife's initials and swallows the shortage with connubial submission; and Mr. Lorlng, Who spots the j a m e in the Reglster'sjTmt of respect for—" "His trust, "his country's confldenc3. the honor of his name," burst out the old man, "reports the matter instantly. Yes, gives the lot of you away, to ruin, to disgrace, to the hulks. No words about it! That's what I would do, mind that!" Wilton laughed lightly. "The bundles of rubbish; ninety-nine or a hundred bills; what would it matter to Uncle Sam? And I should send each of you $250. Think it over, dad." "Think it over? I shall never forget this talk of yours, Wilton. A crime conceived is half executed. May I never hear more of this combination of yours, in joke or in fact, will be my prayer from this day to God in Heaven." , And shaking his head angrily, the father strode into the house. CHAPTER II. A few days after this conversation Bertha Hackett sat to the office of the Redemption Division assisting Mrs. Lawson, the senior lady of the department, to count a packet of "big bills." Greenbacks of large denomination were allotted to the senior lady in the ordinary course, and the juniors would take it in turn to work with her for the sake of becoming accustomed to every kind of note, and by such familiarity detecting any forgery that might fall into their hands. Bertha was serving her apprenticeship in this department, and that day she sat at Mrs. Lawson's desk to learn -all that this good lady could teach her. Now among the packets of old bills sent in from all parts of America to b^ canceled and exchanged for new currency, it was not unusual for the Ranchers' National Bank of Philadelphia, to contribute to its quota. Bertha's bright grey eyes took a sidelong glance at the heap of parcels before her companion, wondering -whether chance would so far realize their fancied combination as to bring into her hands a consignment from her/brother, Wilton. Like a pestilent tune that keeps echoing in the brain, that family talk of a conspiracy to defraud Uncle Sam could not »be dismissed from her thoughts. These slips of dirty paper authorizing the payment to bearer of large sums of money, what a pity they should all go to the macerating machine to be ground into pulp! One more or less woulcf make no difference to the wealthy nation, but would work wonders for an underpaid official who found it hard to make both ends meet. She told herself it was horribly wicked to think of misappropriation, but she could not control her thoughts and they pictured for her persistently the staff of the threo departments reduced to herself, her father, and her husbandf and figured out the fortwhe they might accumulate by the aid of slick fingers. Wh'le thus musing she was startled by a remark from Mrs, Lawson, as that lady placed before her a heap of thousand- dollar bills which she had been critically examining with a magnifying glass. "That's a big charge from the Ranchers' National—a hundred bills of a thousand each. I make them right; but you go over them again one by one, count* them in two packets of fifty each, and bind them with a paper band In the usual way for me to initial and pass forward." Mrs. Lawson proceeded with another packet, so absorbed in her work that she did not notice how strangely young Mrs. Hackett stared for a moment at the task before her. With the heap of bills lay the paper band that had enclosed them when they came from the Bank at Philadelphia. It was endorsed with the number and the denomination of the notes, and bore the signature. "Wilton Loring, Cashier." Mrs. Lawson vouched for them as correct, and yet Bertha's fingers trembled as she turned them over. She counted half of them backward, from 100 to fifty, and made a packet of them, as instructed, and th,e other half she counted la the usual way, beginning one, two, three, four, and so on. When A M I N N E S O T A F A J i M E j f c she came to the end of the count she . _ « « _ _ « - paused, and counted this second half again backward. Then she slowly fast- WRITES O P WESTERN CANADA ened a band around the packet "You're not very smart at present, my girl," remarked the elder lady, observing her sluggish action. "I have to hunt for counterfeits; but should never get through if I took so long as you have done with that simple cheque. But maybe you reckon to find I've passed a wrong count?" she added, with a r little touch of irony WHERE HE IS NOW LOCATED.

C H E A P V I O L I N ' Csed by Two Smooth Men t o Beat a Pawnbroker. , The impression that pawnbrokers cannot be "worked" has been exploded by some cunning swindlers. Some months ago there came to Philadelphia two musicians who had been stranded with a theatrical company in a neighboring New Jersey town. They needed money bauiy, so iney put their wits to work and succeeded in raising a nice little stake. This is the way they worked it: One of them, who may be called John Bow, took his violin— which was a cheap instrument, worth at the utmost $25—to a Market street pawn shop and gave the proprietor a long essay on the rarity of the instrument. To prove that it was an old Cremona, he played for the pawnbroker, and finally succeeded in getting a $15 loan on it for two weeks. Before he left he urged the money lender to oe very. careful of the violin, as he would not lose it for hundreds o( dollars. The pawnbroker placed the fiddle in his safe and Instructed his 'assistants to be very careful of it. A week later a man entered the place who said he was a collector of rare violins, and wanted to know if there were any in the shop that he might fancy. The boss showed him a number, but the fancier did not see any to his liking. Finaly Bow's violin was brought out,, and when the fancier drew the bow over it he became enthusiastic and said he would give $400 for it. The broker replied that he was j sorry, but the violin could not be sold. The stranger then became anxious and left a $5 deposit, and asked that they try to get the fiddle. A few days afterward the owner, Bow, came in, and when the proprietor learned that he wanted an additional $10 on the fiddle he-offered him $100 cash more for the instrument. At first Bow would not listen to it, but finally he took the additional $100 and left with a sorrowful faceL The pawnbroker chuckled over such an easy way of making over $200. He wa^ed anxiously for the fancier, but vas it i s ^ o w over three months since he said he would come back, the broker thinks it was a put up job. He had the violin Valued last week, and it was pronounced worth, the highest, $25.—Philadelphia Record they claim not, I believe this is going to be the wheat fiekl'of the West.

Thero were crowds of land-seekers, and sometimes in the spring the prairie is not very Inviting, and of course lots were discontented. There was one in the crowd who jumped on me for putting a letter in the paper, only for which he never would have come here, an* he was very hostile, but eventually he got a place and today claims he would not take a thousand dollars and move out, so I am glad he is satisfied.

It is a wellestablishsVi fact that deep-water transportation is. and necessarily must be, far below the cost of transportation by rail; indeed, It is computed that the cost of water transportation by steam, when the voyage is of any considerable length, is about one-quarter of the average cost of transportation by rail, while by sailboat it is only one-eighth of the latter. As this question of transportation determines to a great extent the existence or non-existence of a possible industry, and enhances or diminishes the value of every article of export in proportion to its efficiency and economy, the battle cry of the watt for "twenty feet of water between Duluth and the sea" is no great problem to account for.—Ainslee's Magazine.

We want to get 100 new subecribers to our paper, and are going to do it if we can; we therefore continue our arrangement with the Farm Journal by which we can send the PINCKNEY D I S - PATCH one year and the Farm Journel 5 years, both for #1.00. And we make the same offer to all old biibecribers who will pay all arrearages and one year in advance. You know what our paper is, and the Farm Journal is a gem— practical, progressive—a clean, honest, useful ' paper—full of gumption, full of sunshine, with immense circulation among the best people everywhere: You ought to take it.

The folowing is clipped from a circular letter from the Supt. of Free Delivery, and as the subject is being agitated in this vicinity we-thought it would be interesting. We also add a letter received from Congressman Smith. Present a petition, addressed to the First Assistant. Postmaster General, signed by those who tlesire the service. This petition should be signed only by heads of families, and should mention the number in each family. It should set forth the natuie of the country where the delivery is desired, whether densely or sparsely populated, the principal avocations of the people, the character of the roads, and the distances, which under—existing conditions, oack patron has to travel .to receive his mail, and should be accompanied wherever possible, by a rough map indicating the route or routes proposed. This petition, when properly signed, should be sent to your Representative in Congress, or to one of your Senators, with the request that he endorse thereon his recommendation of the service asked, and forward the; petition to4he^Pepartment^^' _ ___ CONDITIONS OF - T H E SERVCE. It must be born in mind that the intention of Congress in authorizing the free delivery of mails in the rural districts was not to grant a suburban delivery to cities included in the Free Delivery Service, nor to establish a village free delivery. The purpose of the Rural Free Delivery System is to give postal facilities to those who have none, to carry the mails daily to remote rural comunitie£ the residents of which would * otherwise have to travel from two to twelve miles to receive their letters and newspapers. The roads must be good. This is an essential pre-requisite to any investigation. No route can be established that is less than from 20 to 25 miles in length, or which serves less than 100 families. The route should be so arranged that the carrier will not be required, to travel over the same ground twice on the same day. Those desiring the delivery must be prepared to pat up, at their own expen se, at some convenient locaton which can be reached by the carrier without dismounting from his buggy, appropriate and secure boxes for the reception of the U. S. mails. Rural carriers are not required to delher mail to houses standing back from the main road. The service is one of mutual accommodation and the patrons are expected to meet the Department half way in affording facilities for its establishment. Rural carriers will taka^ with them upon their rounds a supply of stamps, postal cards, etc.; will be authorised to give receipts for money orders, and, if the patrons of the delivery so desire it, to enclose the orders, when granted, in addressed envelopes confined to their charge. Instructions are on preparation and will shortly be issued, authorizing them to register letters, givreceipts for the same. Wash. D. C , Feb. 1¾ 1900. To the Editor of the DISPATCH:— I am working to secure the blessings of free rural delivery a far as possiblyin every part of the 6th GoB^ressional District I shall ask Congress to appropriate not less than one millton, and I hope for one million five hundred dollars. To secure the benefit of this appropriation ail petitions should be forwarded as soon as possible. Any information will be cheerfully giveu. Samuel W.

Your mothers and grandmothers, never thought of using anything else for Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom herd of Appedicitia, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, «tc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feel* ing dull and bad with headaches and other aches.

Stfmple bottle at F._ A,Sigler'iL _ 1— GEMS'OF THOUGHT On March 13 next the author of "In His Steps; or, What Would Jesus Do." will take charge, pro tern., of the Topeka Daily Capital. For one week he will try to make it a model daily newspaper. It is quiet significant that the novial experiment should be undertaken by so eminent a reformer.— However it is absurd to suppose that a man who is not an editor, and was not trained to be one, is necessarily the man to re^ alize his own dream-and make a success of the venture. It is. absurd to make the result of one week or month, or even a year, a test of what might or could be done. It will not be a decisive taial of either paper or popular demand, but a passing sensational move. What might prove an abortive scheme in Topeka might be a success in New York or Chicago.

The price of the Topeka paper that Mr. Sheldon is, to edit one week has been raised from ten to twenty-five cents for that week. Isn't the whole move on the part of the journal a money-making scheme? The emmense editions and the greatly augmented revenue from advertising ought to lower the price.

There is no^better medicine tor the babies than ChamberlainV-. Cough Remedy. Its pleasant taste and prompt and effectual cures make it a favorite with mothers and small children. It quickly cure3 their coughs aad colds, preventing pneumonia or other serious consequences. It also cures croup and has been used in tens of thousands of cases without a single failure so far as we have been able to learn. It not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the croupy cough appears, will prevent the attack. In cases of whooping cough it liquefies the tough mucus, making it easier to expectorate, aad lessens the severity aad frequncy of the paroxysms of ooagaing, thus depriving that dieses! of all dangeroas consequences.

There hay* been many remedies advanced, but none seem to be so suocsasful ,as the American Poultry Mixture. This will cure chickeens in the last stage of cholera and roup, aud is excellent for gapes.

The late Gen. Lawton said -a short time before his death to an interviewer at Manila: "I never drank a drop of liquor." The Decker (India) Hoop Co. has increased the wages of its employes 25 cents per day, conditioned on their refraining from drinking liquor or visiting saloons. On one day recently sixteen Cortland (N. Y.)liquor sellers were sentenced to heavy fines and imprisonment in the county court. This is one of the results of the UHAWLIiA PARKER* CLUB. Cholera is a terrible disease but this remmedy cures it every time. . It is also guarenteed for roup, which can be told by hoarse breathing, swelled eyes, discharge at the nostrels, resembling catarrah. Fifty dollars is offered for any case the Mixture will not cure. If some of your fowls are diseased it will prevent the rest from catching it. Try it. It is cheap, reliable, and effective, a scientific preparation, goes more than three times as far an any other remedy; does more good than all of them combined.

The most formidable fighting ship in the world is Uncle Sam's now wttnite wonder, the Kearsargc The 'Kearsarge is not only the most powerful battleship in the world; in many respects she is unique. She is 368 feet long, which eclipses the height ofaill but a few office building's. Her eztreme beam is 72 feet 2 inches; freeboard forward, 14 feet 3 inches; freeboard aft, 12 feet 4 inches, and mean draught, 23 feet 6 inches. To a naval engineer these and other measurements mean that the new ooat has a disp aeenif nt of 11 <>t)0 tone, v hicih is seven times as great as that of the original Kearsarge, in memory of wiicee brave victory the present ship has been named. The oid ship s horsepower, moreover, was less than a twelfth of that of the new Kearsar^o. But with all her beauty, stability an.! force, the most interesting featuie of the new battle-ship consists in her two heavy gun turrets, one placad above J the other and both operated by the same machinery. . In the lower iurre: are two 13-inch guns, while in the cmaller turrets are two 8-inoh rifles. Experts say that no shfp that ever floated could withstand an aseult directed from these two turrets working ' together. The idea is due to Admiral ! T>ampson. but its practicability has been hotly disputed by otihen officers Its exact value can be determined oniy by experiment. Su«';i trials of the Kearearge as hav? already been made have shown mat \ j ; she can probably make more than the :^-11^1 ^i:;te?n knots atn hoiir guaranteed by her builders. JHTTIOB.

One of° these ancients conceived the bright Idea thatf in addition to the pension from his lordshop, he was entitled to out-relief from the guardians. Accordingly, he made an application, which was refused on the ground that he was already in receipt of a sufficient pension. The old man went straight to Lord Kimberley and asked if that was fair. On being assured that it was, he at once offered to resign his pension and go into the workhouse, "For," he declared, "I won't see your lordship done over this." A short life need not be at all one of but small influence. A short story or sermon has frequently more effect than the more lengthy. It is only, speaking from a human standpoint to say tLat a life is prematurely dosed •which covers but a portion of theTtime alloted by the Psalmist. Christ's, public mlnjstry occupied but three short years, yet at their close he declared finished that stupendous work, the redemption of the world. Great achievements are permitted a few, but opportunities of influence are imposed upon all, for we are living epistles known end read of all men, and our living preaches more eloquently than our words. Cushman of Wisconsin 13 put down in the Congressional Directory as a congressman-at-Iarge, his state being without definite congressional districts. This reminds him of a story which is quoted in the Washington Post. He was, one©- approaching a town, where ho was billed to make a speech, and stopped at a,house on the outskirts to get a drink of .water. He met the farmer's wife at the well. ^"What is the- political sentiment around here?" asked Cashman. "I du*no," said toe woman; "I, don't go t o political meetings. They say there fa a congressman at large, and I think t h e safest thing i o r me to do is to stay at home." *"* TALMAGE'S SERMON.

Here was a lad- born deaf. BveVyone -knew his relatives and knew him, and k£ew he had never heard a sound. He had the sullen, vicious, self-willed, sinful look of the deaf mutes of old. Perhaps in one of his fits of $vil temper he picked up a club, and as a maniac struck his mother over the head and left her bleeding upon the floor, caring not even though she was a corpse. Wonderful Medlolne Man. i" 'By the way,' some one says, 'have you heard of Jesus, the wonderful medicine man, whom some call a phophet? They say he dan cure sickness by just looking at an invalid. He is a young Natarene, only 30 years of age. You know my wife's cousin. Somo few months ago he was invited to a wedding in the little village of Cana, near GaJlilee. And this Jesus came to the marriage, and the wine gave out, and he bedded over some waterpots and the water turned into wine. My cousin said it was so; you need not laugh. I believe him.' " 'Yes,' answered another, XJbeard. +h*t-hre^restnrgcTeT~7aT^^ and that an old woman.'who''had a chronic sickness of twelve years, just touched his garment and was healed.' " 'Yes,' answered another, 'I not only heard that he opened the eyes of one born blind, but I even heard he cured a dumb man possessed with a devil,' and the people marveled, saying: 4lt was never so seen in Israel.' -• "Just then another neighbor comes in and says that Jesus, this same Jesus, this miraculous Jesus, is only a short distance away over the hills of Decapolis. 'Come,' they say, with one accord, 'let us take him to Christ. He can cure if any one can.' And they bring unto him one that was deaf because the affliction was incurable. "Lesson the second: They brought unto Jesus one who was not only deaf, but dumb. The Bible says he 'had an impediment in his speech.' No one part of the physical body can be entirely divorced from the other parts. As Paul said: 'The body is one that hath many members, and all of the members of that one body being many, are one body.' "We find that these different members act and react upon each other. The hand protects the eye. The eye warns the foot. The foat is the messenger boy for< the brain. The veins are the canals carrying to the farthest extremet'ies the daily supplies of food, tibrim for the muscles, albumen for the blood, lime for the bones/ phorfphates "Six thousand years ago Adam and Eve were driven out of the ^garden,. 0$ Eden. But in the latter part of this sixth millennium the kindergartens, academies, colleges, universities, seminaries, lyceums, legislatures, political colleges, lawyers, doctors, ministers, daily newspapers, weeklies, and monthly magazines have been working side by side to change the sands of ignorance into the flora of knowledge, to lift the depressed valleys to "the heights of the hills, and to deluge earth's dry places with the water of life.r Once the pulpit was the great center, the Intellectual as well as the spiritual educator of the community. The clergyman, like the pope of Rome, could'speak ex-cathedra. The orator always knew as much as, if not a great deal more than, the auditor. .NflgjEF intellectual audiences think for themselves. The churches and the public halls are filled with juries ready to weigh evidences. The people have not only ojie, but many, Rosetta stones. The dead languages are no longer dead. Hearers °as well as speakers can soon separate the brass from the gold, the tares from the wheat, the false from the true, man's thoughts from God's thoughts. Once the king was not only the ruler, but the judge and the executioner. Two women claimed a certain baby. Solomon, in his wisdom; said, 'Bring me a sword. Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other.* When the true mother fell down and begged that her child'•be given to the enemy rather than be destroyed. Solomon said, to the weeping suppliant, 'Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it; s^he is the mother.' One or ChrWt's Cares. "Today we are going to study one of Christ's most wonderful cures: The unstopping of a deaf mute's ears. It is the more remarkable because St. Mark is the only divine biographer who resords the miracle. In the first place, 'they bring unto him one that is deaf,' because the affliction was considered incurable. Even unto this day we know but very.-little about the human ear. The eye, the foot, the hand, the stomach, the liver, the heart have been explored and are, understood by the f fo>* t h e nerves, moisture for the glands dissector's-knife. But the ear, with its tympanum, its bones, its two vestibules, or storm doors, for the anatomist must pass through the outer and middle ear before he can enter the holy of holfes of Bound; the ear, able to catch a loved one's whisperings, and yet not be stunned at the thunderclap of a tornado, has never been fully mastered. The drum has side holes to let the air in and out, that the drumhead may vibrate and'cause sound. We find in the ear there is a long tube connecting with the throat, and on the top of this tube there is a thin membrane or skin which moves up and down as. the waves o^sound strike it. And catarrhal troubles are dangerous because they threaten the stoppage of this tube. Sometimes deafness Is caused by cerebm- spinal .meningitis.- The nerve which runs from the base of the brain to the ear becomes paralized. Somct: mes_deafness is caused b y the outer nerves of tlie ear being destroyed by that most dreaded of all infantile diseases called scarlet fever, a more destructive' .enemy to the nursery than 1'eath, because when it is driven away from the cradle, in mad rage this disease generally strikes a paralyzing blow which leaves its victim helpless and worse than dead. Sometimes the ?ause is.inexplicable. A man's ear may 'je perfectly formed, yet the mind is no more able to differentiate sound that one afflicted with color blindness is lble to distinguish between red, white, yellow, blue, purple, or-gfeen. What- 3ver may be the cause of deafness, when a child Is once born deaf, he is deaf to the grave. No power of surgery or medicament has ever been able to cure the affliction. Figures That Prore Factg. "To prove this is true, of the 35,000 leaf mutes ,in the United States, and 29,512 deaf mutes in Prance, -end the 24,485 deaf in Germany, and the 2,000 -leaf in Denmark, and the 4,778 in Sardinia, and 4,000 deaf mutes In Canada, and the 10,000,000 deaf mutes in this world at the present time—for Joseph A. Selss, in his book called 'The Children of Silence,' declares there is one deaf mute-to ever 1,400 of the human race—not one of the deaf mutes has ever heard one sound if born without the power of hearing. Now, you must realize the condition i s which Jesus ChriaHived was entirely different from that of the present day. In this age of factories and smoke and beehives of swarming populations a city it a place where no one knows his neigh-, bor. The only interest most of us take In the man who lives next door is And all over the surface of the body the pores of the skin as scavengers are at work tossing off the refuse night and day, as well as day and night. While the nerves are the harpstrings upon which nature thumbs the harmonies of life. No Organ Independent. "But in Christ's time no one part of the body was more dependent on another part than the organ of, speech was upon the organs of the ear. That is the reason we quoted only the first nine words of the verse for a text. There have been cases on record where persons have been dumb and not deaf. -But these are very rare. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, when a man is a deaf mute, his vocal organs are all rlsht, but undeveloped. The deaf and dumb are unable to speak merely be-' cause the ear cannot teach the voice how to act. There are today 375 different deaf mute schools, with 2,197 teachers and 25,797 pupils. "By the power of touch, by placing the finger under the throat of the teacher and practicing the vowels and consonants, even those who were born deaf mutes are now taught to speak. And through the same wonderful system, not only the deaf mutes, but in some instances those who have had two of their five senses gone are not only deaf and dumb, but also bMnd, have had the spark of Intelligence kindled in their darkened brain. t " 'Walled in by deafness, dumbness, —blindness all Can life exist beneath that dreadful pall? It does, life, love,are there; the living soul Beats hot against the bar3 that hold it in Striving among the best to reach the goal, And through Christ's death immortal life to win/ "So when Jesus placedi'the two fingers as two syringes against the two broken ear drums and said, 'Ephphatha'— that is—'Be opened,' he loosed the tongue that had an impediment at the same time. The best way to develop the tongue is to develop the ear. No man can speak right unless he first learns to hear right. Jphn James Audubon, with .gun and pencil, disappeared Into the American forest's. He lived among the birds until the birds adopted him Into 1,000 different families. They talked to him; he listened. After awhile the naturalist's ear became to keen he knew their songs of joy, their cries of sorrow and their love-makings. He stood at their eradies and dug their graves. For y e a n and rears thua ho practiced eelta&e-' rifice and worked and studied. Do you wonder that John James Audubon's tongue was able to talk about his feathered friends so interestingly that grown people stopped to listen and the little children begged to look at bts pfetty pictures? "This feeling- was exhibited, in the ninth chapter of John, when the dist elplet asked him in reference to one born blind, saying, 'Master, who did sin, this man or his parents, t h a t he was born blind?' .Jesus answered: 'Neither hath this man sinned or ftls parents, but that the work of God might be made manifest in him.' Effect* of Heredity* "In fifty-nine cases of ihaafnes3 reported by the Illinois institution, in 1873, the parents of forty-two were first-cousins; qf nine, second cousins, of five, third cousins, and of two fourth cousins, and of one an uncle and a niece. And Dr. David Buxton writes: 'I knew the mother of three mute children who was the daughter of a deaf mute, and the grandfather, though his own children heard perfectly, was one of the eight deaf mute3 in a family of sixteen. If a deaf person marries one who hears, the changes, of their TiavTng a deaf-mute child are throofourths of 1 per eent.' "In the next place, for these unfortunates we should build the be3t schools and send them the best teachers. Tbat is the great trouble with work, the bright Christian teachers will not devote their time to these educational opportunities. The class is naturally small, the classroom v «ry depressing, and the remuneration not enticing. "Most Important of all, we should surround them with Christian love. The matron of a deaf and dumb school told me the deaf mutes were happy as long as they were inside the four walls of the school, but the children in the street would tease and tantalize them. As we help the helpless, God will care for us. "There is la beautiful story told that one day a clergyman was visiting a deaf and dumb school, and the teacher, having sent the pupils to the blackboard, the visiting clergyman asked a young bpy there three questions.

Immediately the deaf-mute child wrote, 'In the beginning God created the heaven3 and the earth.' Question the second: 'Why did Jesus Christ come into the world?' With a smile the lad again wrote, 'This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Jesus Christ" came into the world to save sinners.' The clergyman hesitated for a moment, and then asked: 'Why were you borri deaf and dumb, while I can hear and speak?' "A tear started, yet the lad hesitated not, but wrote, 'Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.' "In that last great day may our sinful ears hear the words 'Well d.one.' For then the dumb shall speak and the silent lips' sing for joy." Legend of the Topaz. The topaz is called the stone of gratitude, and the old Roman books record a suggestive legend. The blind Emperor-Theodosjus used to hang aL brazen gong before his palace gates and ait beside it on certain days hearing and putting to rights the grievances of any of his subjects. Those who wished for his advice and help had but to sound the gong, and im-- mediately admission into the presence of Caesar was obtained. One day a great snake crept up to the gate and struck the brazen gong with Its coils, and Theodosius gave orders that no one should molest the creature and bade hereto tell him her wish. The snake bent her crest lowly in homage and straightway told the following tale: Her nest was at the base of the gateway tower, and while she Jiad. gone to find food for her young brood a strange beast covered with sharp' needles had invaded her home, killed .the nestlings and now held possession of the little dwelling. Would Caesar grant her justice? The Emperor gave^ orders Tor the porcupine to be slain and the mother to bo restored to her desolate nest. Night fell and the sleeping world had forgotten the Emperor's kindly deed, but with the early dawn a great serpent glided into the palace, up the step3 into the royalchamber and laid upon each of the Emperor's closed eyes a gleaming topaz. When Emporor Theodosius awoke he found he was no longer blind, for the mother snake had paid her debt of gratitude. A New Service by the New York Central Railroad. George H. Daniel3, general passenger agent of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, has added a steamship bureau to the equipment of the passenger service of the road. He has engaged Captain Louis Ingwersen and F. A. G. Schultze to superintend the bureau, and one of their duties will be to meet all incoming trans-Atlantie and the principal coastwise steamships to assist passengers who wish to leave the city via the Vanderbllt system. Capt. Ingwersen will have charge of the American, Cunard, White Star, Atlantic Transport, Wilson, Anchor and Allan-State lines, and Capt. Schultze has been ass gned to the North-German Lloyd, Hamburg-American, French, Rotterdam, Red Star and Thingvalla lines. They will meet all incoming steamships, and will be prepared to furnish railway tickets, parlor and sleeping car accommodations and to assist passengers with their baggage and check i t to points on the line of the railroad, after it has been passed by the.customs inspectors. They will also_furnish passengers with cabs operated by the railroad company, and furnish time^ tables., and general Information to passengers.' The two men have also been directed to assi9t passengers who come to this city with a view of going abroad, and -such passengers will be met at tht* Grand Central Station on incoming trains and conducted to the steamship. Their baggage will be attended to, and_ steamship tickets can be procured in advance by communicating with Mr. Daniels.—From the New York Commercial Advertiser. Something is sure to be accomplished by the man who stick to one thing. SUCCESS FOR THE DAIRY. To secure the best res-dts in the care of miHr»Dd butter, attention must be given deteils.

It is cod-liver oil, the purest and the best in the world, but made so palatable that almost everybody can take it Nearly all children like it and ask for more. ^ SCOTT'S EMULSION looks like cream; it nourishes the wasted body of the baby, child or adult better than cream or any other food in existence, ft bears about the same relation to other emulsions that cream does to milk. If you have had any experience* with other so-called "just as good" preparations, you will find that thb is a feet ins iiypmimipnBCi ins* ire combined wKh the cod-flvW oil SaddWoml vatoe to H became tone up vis nervous system imptit sotnjm to the whole body. • / SCOTT^BOW%Vc2£5f%Sr York.

This ;shows t h a t there was a total of 33,150 deaths in the state last year, t h u s making t h e death rate per 1,000 of estimated population 14.1 per cent. There were 0,140 deaths of children under 1 year old, 2,432 from 1 t o 4 years old, and 9,175 of persons <>5 years old and over. The per cent in these classes was 19.4, 7.7 and 28.9 respectively.

After reciting a t some length the form and contents of the indictments, the opinion says: " T h e respondent has moved to quash the indictment alleging several reasons, the principal one being t h a t the indictment against Sutton does net charge t h a t any criminal offense had been committed by White, but merely recites t h a t an indictment had been found by the grand jury against White, and does not charge or allege t h a t any offense had Been committed by White. In this state an accessory before the fact may be charged together w i t h the principal indicted as a principal.

Thoy were old and frayed, ragged Hind discolored, and belonged ^to the issues of long ago. They were only half notes, moreover—the lower halves; and each fragment of paper had two big holes punched in it by a blunt instrument, totally destroying the signatures which had made it money, and at the same time reducing the half-note to the merest remnant. One by one Edmond turned over these morsels of dirty paper, counting them most carefully. "Forty-one. forty-two, forty-three, forty-four, forty-five, forty-six, fortyseven, forty-eight,, forty-nine! There are not fifty here! And yet they've been passed as fifty in the Redemption Office. Humph! Awkward fo» one of those clever ladies. A thousand-dollar bill missing. Poor Mrs. Lawson. .Infallible. Mrs. Lawson! It must be she who's in for this." Taking_..up_.his..j)en ttTmalvO ouT'Th? report, he glanced at the wrapper upon which appeared the number of bills it was supposed to contain and the initials of the lady-examiner who in the Redemption Office had counted and made herself responsible for the packet's accuracy. "What!" The pen dropped from his fingers. "B. H. Great Heaven!" That was the signature of his own wife. CHAPTER III. Now this error would mean more than discredit and a consequent check In Bertha's future promotion. It was a rule that the examiner who overlooked a counterfeit or missing bill should make good the value of it. To make good oa thousand dollars would pretty well ruin the Hacketts and old father Caleb into the bargain. But it was his duty to make his report instantly to the Secretary, and with painful reluctance he filled up the prescribed but seldom requisitioned tot^m. With slow, dragging steps, he proceeded with it to the Secretary's private room, but halted with his hand on the door. Suddenly that frivolous gossip on the veranda rushed into his memory. Had Wilton Loring—had Bertha herself stole the missing bill? What then? Should he turn conspirator and cover the fraud? No, no, his duty was clear. He Would not allow himself to hesitate, but knocked at the door and entered. But there was no respite for him and for his wife. The Treasurer himself was closeted with the Secretary. "One moment. Mr. Hackett! I'm engaged," was the sharp peremptory dismissal, and he perforce withdrew postponing the declaration. As he returned stupefied to his desk a clock struck the hour of his luncheon interval. It was the custom of the family to meet at home for their midday meal. He locked up the report and rushed out of the Treasury. Flying home on a cable car, he found his wife there before him. Bertha sat at the table Hke ene in a dream. She did not raise her eyes from-the fowl that stood untouched before her. Edmond himself could not swallow a morsel, but furtively watched his wife while the . negness who waited on them tarried in the room. The moment they were alone he leant across the table and whispered hoarsely: "You passed a packet today—r-a packet of Thousands." The young- wife looked up with a start of surprise. The fear that was written in her troubled face gave way to a flash of desperate hope. "It came to you ***"">• "One'bill is missing." "Thank God you can pass it!" .,..,No word of denial. She caught his recoiling hand across the table. "For my sake—for your Bertha's sake—you will, you will!" Edmond Hackett raised his other hand to his damp forehead. "Impossible, child—impossible! You must be saved another way—if it be not too late. Pind the missing bill among some papers, as if an accident had placed it there. But, whatever you do, put it forward instantly, instantly!" "I cannot, Edmond. I haven't the bill." "You did not steal it? Oh, forgive me! Heaven be thanked'for that! It's j pious fancy away an oversight, then? Bad enough, but not beyond repair. Make out your report at once, and send it in. You nre a novice, the delay may be overlooked." "I cannot do that. Edmond. It would be to cast suspicion upon the cashier who forwarded the bills to'the Treasury." "That is his affair. If the packet was short When yon counted it—" "Edmond, why' will you not Ignore the shortage? By a miracle it ty in your power to prevent the discovery." "It is not in my power." / "How not in yonf power? The packet will go frora^our hands to the_cominlttee, who do not count it again; and by 'them \%—will be deposited In the maceratoK to be ground into pulp. It wouidyriever be known that forty-nine / Instead of fifty Mils had been destroyed." "Bertha, you forget the other half. I have only a portion of the bills. The upper section of your packet went to the Register's office to be counted there." Bertha Hackett grew white as death, and hot tears sprang in her eyes. "•yre are ruined!" she cried, "unless, unless-?-" Her glance from the window1 perceived Caleb Loring entering the hpuse. "Here is father! He will find out who had the count at the Registers," But the old man knew already. They read it in his face as he confronted them, elosing the door. Whatever hope he had cherished on his homeward way that he might find Bertha unconscious of the storm that threatened was dashed to the ground the moment he perceived her and her hus' band's agitation. The memory of that evening* on the veranda burned in his mind, and in a fury of rage he demanded, fiercely: "Daughter, what infernal thing is •this you'vo boon doing*..... Axe.. you mad? Have you turned thief? Is Edmond in it? Or has Wilton—No, no. For God's sake don't tell me it is my son!" Then Bertha, to her husband's amazement and dismay, fell down at her father's feet and confessed that she, she had yielded to temptation and stolen the missing bill. She hurriedly stated the miraculous chance that had put Edmond in a position to save her, and inferring from her father's knowledge of the affair, that the man who had detected the shortage had confided to him his daughter's responsibility .with a view of screening her, bespught him to accept the friendly overture. "I would permit no man's dishonor for the sake of me or mine," he declared. . "For what you have done, you must pay the penalty. Your impossible combination has actually come to pass. As the counter-check came to your husband in his department, so it has come to me in the Register's. It was I myself who caught the short packet which you had signed for. Bertha clasped her hands in thankc* giving. "Then, father, you alone know?" "I—and one other." "Ono other?" repeated Bertha, aghast. "Who in your department should know besides yourself?" "My chief," replied the old man, with a f^ce cf adamant. "You have reported it, knowing that your own child—" "Certainly. Fraud yours or your brother's me to consider. I am servant of the State." They went back to or oversight; it was not for first of all, a -the Treasury, where Edmond at once delivered his report. Bertha found Mrs. Lawson impatiently awaiting her. The Treasurer had-sent for the Head of the Redemption Division to investigate an error in one of the packets which Bertha had made up. Mrs. Lawson was highly indignant. "I counted the Ranchers' packet myself,' 'said she. "I am positive there were exactly a hundred bills." "If one is missing," began Eertha, but the senior lady interrupted her. "Missing? No, nothing is missing at all. There is sa,id to have been one too many." So many miracles had happened that clay that poor Bertha could only gape at her in astonishment. It was an anomaly in arithmetic that one taken from one hundred should leave one hundred and one. There came another summons to the Treasurer. Another report had come in of an error from Mrs. Lawson's desk. The old lady was almost in tears but she carried it off with a show of jocosity. "Either there must be some conscience money knocking about, or Mrs. Bertha Hackett brings a mascot to the treasury," said she. "Is thte another surplus thousand-dollar biTlT^ir?" But this was the shortage which Edmond and Mr. Loring had reported, and it was happily met by the excess in the other packet. So, beyond an admonition tempered in mercy for the manifest distress of the'girl. Bertha got into no trouble. She held stoutly to a theory of the intervention of providence when discussing the matter at home, and her husband swept the "I reckon Providence don't supply cheating clerks with thousand-dollar bilbi." said he. "You divided the packet of100 in two of 50, as you thought. But you counted the first D^ckward. from 100 to 5fr inclusive, and that left only forty-nine for the second packet. But why didn't you tell Mrs. Lawson you made one short?" "Fact is, Edmond, that combination chatter of ours had got into my brain. I thought Wilton had pinched a bill, and I reckoned to do more for my brother than Daddy would do7 for his little girl." 'iBa!".observed old Caleb, filling his pipe.

The pupils' Eighth %ade examination will be held on Saturday, March 3rd., 1900, at the following places: Gregory, Pinckney, Hamburg, Brighton, Hartland, Howell, Oak Grove and Fowlerville. It is hoped that every teacher in the county will encourag his or her eighth grade pupils to write1 this examination.

AXDRJBW8, Pttbltffce* PINCKNEY, MICHIGAN, —»=•** It is worth noting, also, that the first English general who has earned promotion in South Africa is French. V Old man Joubert is adhering tenaciously to his promise to flight "to the last ditch, the last gun and the last man." Nearly 200,000 valentines passed through the Chicago postofflce this year, and yet Chicago has been called a city with no sentiment above corned beef. A Delaware woman who went away •with another man while h'er husband •was out doing the milking left a note saying: "Dear John—I have gone away with the man I love, and we will live happy. Don't hunt for us." But John is hunting for them with a gun. probably tc prove that she was wrong -for once. Some men take such a mean delight in robbing women of innocent peace. drrrster vrtiodltt norserTiple to fish for compliments was once invited t o take dinner with an old elder, as reticent as they make them. Manipulate tlje conversation as . he \?ould, the young man could not get his host to say "sermon," and at last he boldly introduced the important subject by remarking directly, "That -was a fine text I had to-day." But the elder knew his man. "Ou, ay, there's naething wrang wi' the test!" England has more battleships and cruisers than France and Russia combined and more than -Germany, Italy, United States and Japan combined. In torpedo boats she is inferior to France and but little superior to Russia. The Australians want to have a littlfc navy, but objection is raised to this in England on the ground that the colonists would next insist upon having a voice in the disposition of the British fleet and might not be disposed to take a hand in all of the imperial wars. TALHAGE'S SERMON. "PRODIQAL SONS," THE LATEST SUBJECT DISCUSSED. Fr om La k e XV:13 as Follows: «"•„T h e Yonnirer Son G a t h e r e d All T o g e t h e r a n d Took HU J o a r u e y I n t o a Far Com* try." The czar of Russia is not much in love with the grandeur in which he is compelled to live. He has no liking for a soldier's or sportsman'sJife, and_ is never more uncomfortable than when obliged to don the gorgeous uniform of some crack regiment of which he is colonel. He is fond of rowing, cycling, tennis and other quiet sports. His happiest moments are spent in his unpretentious library.—The czar and his young wife have for their favorite domestic resort the small Alexander palace, at Czarskoie Selo. In the grounds of this palace is a queerly built pavilion, or summer house, which was designed by the great Catherine of Russia, and here the royal pair enjoy their meals unattended by servants. A sort of "trick table" sinks through the floor when each course is finished and reappears laid for the following c-ourse. Curious as it may appear to many people, it is, nevertheless, extremely probable that the war in South Africa may have the effect of giving an immense stimulus to mule breeding in Great Britain. The truth is that the military authorities ' have discovered that the demand for really eligible mules far exceeds the supply, and as it is evident to the public that the prices paid for such animals are, remunerative, it is pretty certain that the lesson, will receive the attention it deserves. In this country the mule is highly valued for heavy draught work. When it^ifi also borne in mind that the mule can exist well where a horse •would vell-nigh starve, that he is the most healthy of animals and a .willing •worker* in spite of all the jokes which are made on the score of the obstinacy displayed by some mules, there can be no,gainsaying the fact that he is a useful beast. "Today the old homestead Is turned upside down. One of the boys, the younger, is about to leave the parental roof. The eaglet is tired of being warmed by the wings of the old birds and with ruffled feathers stands upon the edge of the eyrie ready to fly off. It is a sad sight to see a home being broken up. Whon the children are about to say goodby the families laugh, t£lk and joke up to the last moment, but they are only' trying to keep the courage up. Even the wedding bells weep as well as chime. The guests may congratulate you upon having gained a son or a daughter, but you know that it is a mockery, though you do smile through your tears. From now on the daughter will never be tha same again. She has gone to make he; own home, to build her own nest, rear her own young and live her own life. Ins.tejadOLf -belonging- to you she is another's. Instead of you being first, now you are last. "After the wedding of a very dear friend and the worn slipper and the rice had been thrown, and the bride and bridegroom started, I followed the old gray-haired father down to the garden gate, and there we stood alone in the moonlight. 'Yes, Frank,' he said, 'I know she has married a good man, but she was my youngest, and it breaks the heart, It breaks the heart.' Children are born, grow up into young manhood and womanhood, and just when it seems the parents cannot get along without them, off they go. Death kno&ks at the door and carries away some. Love hovers about the spring flowers and breathes through the orange.blossoms and woes others. Business calls and duty beckons until the old nursery is silent and there are rooms to let in the homestead which once resounded with the young" people's voices. Mother Who Grieves. "Such is the sense of- my text. The mother did not sleep much last'night. Though she tries to look cheerful her eyes are very red. Every little while she disappears into the pantry or goes upstairs. She makes an excuse as though looking for something, but we know it is—only to have a good cry. The father is giving his last instructions and handing the young traveler back to the '-itehen; tho domestic machinery Is started and the neighbors say it Is merely the natural prder of things for t h e younger con to gather all together and take his journey into a far country.' "Lesson the first: This journey of the prodigal son into a far country is a divine protest against making sin attractive. The far country was evidently the land of sin. By this Jesus does not mean every young man who starts away from home is bad. But if we carefully study the parable we can read between the lines how the younger son was restless. Lik$ a hi'rd he felt his wings clipped by the control of the old folks. He could not be out with his friends as late as he thought he ought to be. Some of the entertainments he attended were questionable. He feared a meddlesome neighbor might report him. He was too old to be punished and yet not old enough to take care of himself. He decided to leave his old-fashioned father and mother and the strict rules of the homestead. These are the reasons of the departure. "Christ does nof enter into a disgusting description of what the young man did. He docs not picture him among the gay aristocrats of the new town, opening the best bottles of wine, -driving the fastest horses, and living with evil companions whom he dare not introduce to his sisters. He does not describe him In some lewd dance hall, intoxicated with flattery as much as with wine. Ho does not have a palace of Circe filled with princes and princesses, the walls pictured, the floors of mosaic, the banquet table groaning under the weight of gold and silver as well as fruits and viands. Parable Omits Details. "He does not trace him on and on, running into debt, having his friends leaving him one by one, as .humming birds with their pretty wings will flutter away fram~~a flower as soon as the honey is gone. He does not describe him at last so poor that he is begging alongside of the beggars whom he once cursed in the street. No, _Jesus covers up the months of wassail, libertinism, and conviviality with the simple sentence of my text 'The younger son gathered all together and - took his journey into a far country.' In Christ's parable it is only one step from the father's house to a swine's trough. "The trouble with many so-calW Christian teachers is that we put a halr/over sin and talk too much about water nymphs, fairies, seamaids,-denizens of the air, sylphs, spirits and flaxen-haired goddesses. We picture Temptation as a dream of beauty seated upon the rim of a cloud. She-holds A recent commercial report shows the fntimate relation between weather and business. The unusually mild temperature has bad its effect in many ways. The smaller sale of shoes is attributed to the mildness of the weather, and the absence of rain and the slight fall of snow have resulted in the shut-down Of some rubber factories. The sale of overshoes, rubber hoots, and mackintoshes is much less than ever before. • The ice business is affected, the cut in most .localities being small'and giving promise of a small crop, with dearer prices in the ..summer. The scarcity of snow in the northwest is decreasing the log cut. Drought in New England resulted in a ehortage of water in the little streams. that furnish power to the cotton and other mills, causing many of. them to shut down. This was followed by floods that brought too high a level- and kept the mills still closed. Warm •weather being responsible for scarcity of ice and lumber, one would think it would result in a decreased price of coal, but, strangely QiiDugh, this has not followed. a last farewell. I always did believe a bright dog was smarter than-a stupid man. But the farewell words are now being said. The father has given his benediction. We must turn aside a little, while the mother has her last convulsive clasp. These are the snapping of heart strings. A mother can never realize the baby she once rocked in a cradle can grow to be a man. "People who have stood upon the wharf at Queenstown and heard the Irish peasant's moan when the young emigrant steps into the boat to take steamer for America know what 1 mean. There is only one cry similar to it. That is, when a family draped in heavy black push back the veils to take a last lingering look at the silent form, sleeping in the casket, when the undertaker stands impatiently behind. Youth Rides Away. "But suddenly the young man breaks away. He leaps into the saddle. The spurs cut deep. The parents shout their affectionate adieux to the horseman dashing off. Then they wave and throw kisses. The old father 'now wipes his face vigorously with a handkerchief and scolds the servants and sends them off, because he does not want, them to see him cry. As the , horse disappears over the last hill the old mother buries her head on her husband's neck and sobs as if her heart would break. He tenderly puts his arm about her and draws her toward the house/'Slowly they walk up the tree-arched path. They stop a moment on the first step to glance for the last time down the road. Slowly, with a sigh, the father opens the door. The men go back to the work,-the women chttd to' com* home. Cut there a n many minor truths as well £s the major one. All the gold taken from the mizjes is not poured into the same mold. The chisel of Michaer Angelo can cut a curly-headed shepherd boy as well as the long, flowing beard and swarthy muscles of the Jewish lawgiver. The wheels in a factory should not be despised because they do not revolve the one way. "Mr. Moody said: 'This father ought to bo censured. He could not have done a greater unkindneas to the boy than to give the younger son his goods and money and let him go. A true father would have said to such a contemptible filial spirit, "Go and earn your own portion by the sweat of your brow," ' Yet hundreds of parents are making the same mistake every day. Try as hard as the loving heart may, we are very apt to be partial to the babies. When the young couple stand at the marriage altar, hope and poverty generally clasp hands. The first children who sleep in the cradel have to take their share of struggle for daily bread. But when the youngest babies are born the parents often have a foothold. Servants now clean the house and run the errands and care for the shoes. To use a worn-out figure, the younger son lies on a bed of rose3. — " L a s t l r , learn "whentheyoung prodigal gathered all together and took his journey into the far country he left his mother as well as his father. Some preachers go so far as to suppose this boy did not have a mother. The parable mentions her not. Perhaps on account of the dissipations of the younger son the mother's hairs prematurely silvered. Then, like the blossoming of the almond tree, became as white as snow. The long, deep wrinkles grew deeper; the eye.eaddet; the lip more ready to quiver. The doctors said she was worrying about something. One day the old trouble came. There was an awful cry, as the spasm of the heart clutched at her life, and she was dead. [This interpretation may be true, but we do not thinTTsoT and you and I have just as much right to our opinion as others have to theirs. "In the first place, the man is at the head of the house. By the eastern custom he alone is mentioned. The Bible tells us that Christ was to be born of Mary the Virgin. Yet in the two distinct genealogical tables of the New Testament, the one in Matthew and the other in Luke, only the genealogical table of Joseph is given; the one tracing the family history from God down to the manger, the other from the manger back to God. Old H o m e Recalled. "Shall I describe a scene which happened last night? No, it was not in some letters of Introduction to a prominent merchant with whom the son will lodge in the next town. There is a noise at the gate. The servants are bringing out the horses and strapping the baggage upon the pack mules. They talk in subdued whispers. Even they "feel sorry. The young 'raassa' was a happy, jolly, go-lucky boy, and always had a cheerful and kind word for the hostlers. The only creature who seems to be merry-making this morning is the yellow dog. He frisk3 about, barking and yelping, thinking he is to follow the sportsman on a week's hunt. But his hilarity is stopped when some one shie3 a stone at the brute and shouts: 'Go back to the barn!' Slowly he crawls back with fail and head lowered in abject woe. He stops now and then as if expecting to hear—the familiar call. Perhaps he publishers and buy that very book, realizes for the. first time he is_laking__m.er£fy because the preacher told you in; one hand a pack of cards and in the other a chalice of wine. The colors of her cheek, the flowers caught in the folds of the garment clinging, about her lithe form make her look so innocent one can't help loving her, even though she may be bad. "The-great criticism, against John Milton is that he introduces his Satan as a very respectable sort of a gentleman. Supposing tonight I should attack a certain infidel book or a vile French novel and mention the book by name and the author, and tell you under no condition to read it; that if you did you would blast your soul for time and eternity. What, would be the result? Tomorrow morning fifty or one hundred of the young people sitting before me would arise early and take the first car down town arrd hurry to the not to read it. That is human nature. "What is the greatest damage a newspaper can do a man? Attack him? No! That always does an innocent public man good. The harder the newspaper denounces, the more prominent the- man becomes; The worst insult the newspapers can give is to simply ignore a man. Never mention his name. Treat him as if he was not worth noticing. The mo3t awful contempt you can hurl at an enemy is* silence, complete silence, never-ending silence. Not SntanM Ralletln Board, "Refuse to allow your' back to be Satan's bulletin board. Pose not before a community as a reformed drunkard, or an evangelized thief. If you once had a diseased tongue, please do not tell It If you were once bedaubed with'social filth, we do not want to know it. Talk not about the gilded saloon and bacchanalian feasts and the good times you used to have'before you joined the church and married and gave up all fun.. Throw not the coat of many colors over licentiousness and somber black over virtue. Leave evil advertisements alone. With one plunge jump from the highest mountain of inspiration into the lowest depths of, despair with the simple sentence, 'And he went.into a tar country.' "In the next place, learn that the prodigal of my text went into the far country because the father "v/aa too lenient, and divided unto him his living. Of course, we all know the great teaching of this parable was to show God's mercy; how, as a broken-hearted parent; he is longjng for tho wayward Chicago.—Not in that low saloon or cheap theater where you were playing billiards and gambling away your life. The scene was way back in-the country. You remember the old farm, the white house^the pillared porch, the big barn in the rear, the wood pile to the left of the kitchen door. The hens are now running around begging for food because the earth is a frozen ttfmb in which the worms have gone to sleep for the winter. It is about evening, and an old woman, an old gray-haired woman, is— cook-ing over the kitchen stove. She looks thinner than when you saw her last. The neighbors say she is aging; very rapidly and will not live long. An old man comes in and stamps the snow off his great boots. The woman, this gray-haired woman, looks up and says, 'Pa, have you a letter? Have you been to the postofflce? Is it not strange he has not written? He has been gone five long years. Do you think God will let me live long enough to see him just once before > I go?' , "The old man says nothing, but goe to the door and looks down the ro. He shades his eyes as if he could see a great way off. Then he turns and says, 'Mother, that is a fine calf we have there in the barnyarth—She is getting fatter each day. We must kill her soon. Perhaps we can have a big feast if our boy ever comes home.' "They sit by the fire a little while after the dishes are wiped. Their evening talk is soon ended. They are so tired they cannot stay up late. They are too tired to sleep. Then they take the old Bible and the mother says, 'Pa, won't you read that story of the prodigal son? Somehow I never can hear it enough. You read it last night. It is In the fifteenth chapter of Luke. About tho younger son that went away and starved and was too proud to come home.' When homo to a parental heart without the boy was even a more desolate place than the pig pen was where her boy was starving. "Then they knelt. As they prayed the little candle-light began to flicker in sympathy. The tears trickled down through the four withered hands. Thus the two tottering old folks staid upon their knees pleading with God until an angel in heaven could hear their grief no longer, and he fluttered away and wnispered to me the secret that I' am now telling you. Boy, will you not gohome? Before they are dead go home and leave this far country-of sin, even this wicked/selfish city, where we now live." "A Friend in Need Is a FntndIndeed." Your blood is poor and therefore you suffer from eruptions,- pains and general debility and " that tired feeltng/' The blood is the red source of alt health.

You must have food to live; stimulants cannot take its place, Ayer's Hair Vigor feeds the hair and it grows. It could not do differently, for it's Nature's plan.

Ask-yettr phystt I tion, M What is the one great ! remedy for consumption?" He will answer, "Cod-liver oil." ^Nine out of ten will answer the same way. Yet when persons have consumption they loathe all fatty foods, yet fat is neces- . sary for. their recovery and they cannot take plain cod- : liver oil. The plain oil disturbs the stomach and takes • away the appetite. The disagreeable fishy odor and I taste-make it almost uncn- .: durable. What is to be done ? : This question was ans* : wered when we first made ! SCOTT'S EMULSION 'of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypot_ phosphites. Although that : was nearly twenty-five years ago, yet it stands alone today the one great remedy for all affections of the throat and lungs. The baa taste and odor have been taken away, the oil itself has been partly digested, and the most sensitive stomach objects to H rarely. _Not ont in ten can take and digest the plain oil Nine out of ten can take SCOTTS EMULSION and digest ft Thaf s why it cures so many cases of early consumption. Even in advanced cases it brings comfort and greatly prolongs Use. ^__Joc and tt.00, all druggfcte. SCdTT&BOWNB,Chemists, N«w York.

A new auditorium accommodating 4,000 persons has been built. During the volcanic eruption in the Hawaiian islands last summer the smoke rose to a height of between five and six miles, and then drifted away to the northeast At a, distance of 600 miles from Hawaii it settled' upon the surface of the sea(j and was then carried back by the northeast wind to its jilace of origin, where it arrived a fortnight after Its "original departure, and covered the entire group of islands with its heavy pall. It is str?.nftc now to ror-all that, .as a a girl, the hue mother of the Gorman empress was exceedingly anxious to marry Napok^on III. Indeed, the marriage, was. nearly arranged, but .Que.^n Victoria and Prince Albert strongly disapproved of the proposed alliance, and their oppositioji carried the day. Had Princess Adelaide of Hohenloho become empress of the French the whole face of Europe would almost certainly have been different. The recent trials at Indian Head, on the Potomac, of the armor made for the Russian battleship Retvizan, building in this country, seemed to show that armor-plate of the Krupp form made in America has the advantage in the endless contest between guns and armor. Five-inch projectiles with a striking velocity of more than 2,000 feet per second failed to penetrate more than two inches in a five-inch plate, and the projectiles—were' broken in pieces, while the plate was not cracked. A correspondent of "Figaro," writhing from Madrid, gives a very favorable account of the present condition of Spain, which he says "is making rapid progress toward recovery, after a series o~f cruel disasters.'" The tendencies to disorder have subsided; the danger of revolution has passed; under the influence of a well-balanced budget, public credit Is improving; the personal worth and practical wisdom of the queen regent have "made her the one fixed point around which all the wjshes of Spain and all the sympathies of Europe gravitate"; and her son Alfonso, who will ascend the throne in two or three years, gives fine promise of intelligence, courage, and virtue. It is noticeable that all the great generals, either of the -past or present, have been known to the public and their soldiers by some familiar nickname. Lord Roberts' sobriquet of "Bobs" is the most popular name to conjure with just now in South Africa. just as "Le Petit Corporal*' was the watchword for Napoleon's legions. Frederick the Great was dubbed by his soldiers "Our Fritz," and the duke of Wellington, who gaine-d the confidence but never the affection of his troops, was known as "Old Nosey"—an uncomplimentary allusion to.his most prominent feature—just as "Stonewall" Jackson and "Marshal Vorwarts" expressed the most noticeable characteristics of Jacksou and Biueher respectively. It is estimated that the state of Maryland lost $3,000,000 during the past season through the ravages of the pea-louse, which, Prof. W. G-. Johnson of the Maryland Agricultural college says is^an insect new to science. It belongs to the well-known group of the aphides, or plant-lice, and on account of some change in conditions ,has become suddenly abundant, appearing for the first time on the cultivated pea. It is of a green color, and only an eighth of an inch long. It sucks the juices from the leaf and stem, and the plant dies. Not only in Maryland have growers of •peas suffered, but in New Jersey, Delaware, New York, Virginia, North Carolina and Connecticut also. For- .tunately the pearlouse has many inject enemies, which played havoc with it before the close of the season. By the action of the senate in ratifying The Hague peace treaty, the United States now stands before the world as a nation no less ready to practice than to preach arbitration.- Its promptness in accepting the invitation to The Hague, the eminence of those who represented the country, its commanding position as one of the great powers of the world, and the government's well-known advocacy of •the principle of arbitration, all tend to invest the action of the senate with peculiar significance. By It Tre have npw.Oiown our good faith, and ether nations may follow. The aim of the treaty, stripped of complicating details, is merely to make peace easier and war more difficult. It cannot compel peace, for it leaves each nation free to choose a course for itself; but It seeks to render the resort to a/nur the last resort FARM AND GARDEN.

Wisconsin Horticultural Convention. Condensed from Farmer** Review Stenographic Report The Wisconsin State Horticultural Society held its annual meeting In Madison Feb. 5 to 8. The attendance was fair. The program was well followed and much matter of Interest was discussed. The session aevoted to the nursery business was taken up largely with brisk discussion on the tree peddlers. There are among peddlers honest' men representing reliable nurseries, hue there are, on the other hand, many unscrupulous men who do not stop at'anything t o gain their ends. The tree-peddling business offers many uducements' to dishonesty, as a man <a sell the most worthless of stuff and o for years without btung found out. _ ne only way to prevent the frauds complained of seems to be scattering information more fully among the people. The English-speaking farmers, or at least the Egglish-reading farmers, have become so wary that they are no longer easily caught; but the fpreignbred farmers are being caught right along, and for them there seems to be no hope of escape—they are paying the price of ignorance. One session was devoted to the discussion of the culture of small fruit. Papers were read by M. S. Kellogg, J. L. Herbst, Frank Stark, Frederick Cranefleld, A. J. Edwards and S. H. Marshall. An extended discussion followed these papers, and this jvrrH-appear Iater»in the Farmers' Review. The forestry session was one of un> usual interest. The subject was opened by B. S. Hoxie, president of the State Forestry Association. He reviewed the attempt to get a bill passed by the state legislature looking to the beginning of the work for the recovery of our forest domains, and pointed out what other states are doing in this matter. He said that New York had purchased an immense area of land in the Adirondacks at a cost of only 51 per acre, and that now is the time for Wisconsin to take steps to purchase forest lands, since they can now be obtained at a smalt price: Yrhile twenty-five years from now the cost is likely to be much greater. S. AL Ow^ns r»f Mirneaota. delivered a very instructive address on the forestry of the Old, World. He contrasted what is being done there with what Is being done here. He showed how Ger-, many, France, Austria-Hungary and Switzerland are conserving their forests with the result that they can cut a larpe amount annually without decreasing the main source of their supplies. Switzerland has made immense strides in the matter of the preservation of her forests, which are owned very largely "by the public. There the public-owned forests are much better kept and handled than are the forests that are owned by private persons. To preserve American forest* and to restore them•>it'is but necessary that a sensible system of cutting off be employed. Ernest Bruncken, secretary of the Wisconsin State Forestry Association, read an interesting paper on forestry legislation. _He_sa!d'- that the greatest obstacle, to obtaining forestry legislation is the popular misunderstanding of the term "forestry," which-Js assumed to include our parks and shade tree systems. Forestry relates exclusively to the management of trees in great masses. He said that our lands can.become reforested by simply cutting ofMhe trees and removing the rubbish to prevent fires; that nature will do the planting; but that where the ground has been eaten up by forest fires it will not be in a condition to bear trees for generations. A session was devoted to orchard trees, and papers were read by E. S. CJoff, Martin Penning, A. J. Phillipa,, G. J. Kellqgg and one was sent by O. M. Lord. Three of these papers treated of plums. The Japanese plums were condemned as being utterly unfit for use in Wisconsin. It was the belief of the convention that our hope lies in the native plums. G. J. Kellogg's paper was on top-grafting. It will appear later in the Farmers' Review. A. L. Hatch spoke on what we can do to make trees bear fruit. He believes that we must cultivate and feed our trees if we expect results, just "as much as we have to teed our animals for results. Frank Yahnke spoke on the growing of vegetables for market. He said that the man that makes vegetable growing his business must grow all kinds and put them on the market in the best shape. He must not try to grow all kinds of vegetables on the Rame kind of soil, but must give to each vegetable the kind of soil it requires. One session was devoted to the memorial addresses on J. C. Plumb, F. W. Loudon, XT. A. Thayer and Peter Gideon. Win. Toole spoke on what to plant to beautify lour school ground's. This J address >K\\\ appear later in the Farmers' Review, as will other tallr* ana discussions that enlivened tt*a nesting. The election of officers resulted to the following ' choice: President, Franklin Johnson; vice-president, T. E. Loope; secretary, J. L. Herbst; treasurer, R. J. Coe; member of trial orchard committee, L. G. Kellogg. The discussion on place of holding the next annual meeting did not result in definitely fixing the place, but the expressions were strongly in favor of Oshkosh. Italian Rye Gras*. This grass it, known scientifically as Lolium Italicum and L. Perenne. A government report says: These are among the oldest cultivated grasses, and are probably grown more widely than any others in Europe. They have been used largely in the Northern states, where they are often satisfactory, but in th? South they have not done well except In a few especially favorable locations. They succeed best on a rich, moist, sandy soil containing ) a fair amount of lime, and on such soils are fairly permauent, but on dry, thin soils and heavy clays they soon disappear. They will cover the ground sooner and make a better sward in a few weeks after planting than most' other .grasses, and are valuable where q-uick results are wanted and for covering the ground while other and more permanent sorts, like redtop and orchard grass, are becoming established. When sown alone on'rich soils their growth is so rank that the ground is soon covered with a dense mat of long leaves, which make the best of grazing or hay, but if allowed to become too dense will die and decay nfter heavy rains. While excellent fror mixing with other grasses for both pastures and meadows, they cannot be recommended for sowing alone. The most common varieties are the Italian, Pacey's and the perennial rye grasses. The per- A N3TE3 JUDGE SAVED BY PERUNA. Had Cstarrh Nine Years All Qoctors Failedennial, or English rye gras3, is the longer lived and so the best for permanent pastures. The Italian rye grass makes a ranker growth and cov ers the ground more quickly. Seed may be sown in either fall or spring, and from two to three bushels per acre are required when so.vn alone, or one bushel when sown with other grasses. HON. GEORGE KERSTEN, OF CHICAGO. Hon. Geo. Kersten, a well-known Justice of the Peace, of Chicago, says: «/ was afflicted with Catarrh for nine years. My catarrh was located chiefly in my head. I tried many remedies without avail. 1 applied to several doctors, but they were not able to cure me. I learned of the remedy, Peruna, through the daily newspapers. After taking the remedy for 18 weeks I was entirely cured. I consider my cure permanent, as it has been two and a half years since I was cured." Any m a n w h o w i s h e s perfect h e a l t h mubt be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal; a l m o s t omnipresent. P e r u n a is the o n l y absolute safeguard k n o w n .

At a recent meeting of the St. Louis County (Mo.) Horticultural Society Professor Whitten was asked about peach trees as-4illers for apple trees. He said there were some objections to the plan inasmuch as the peach requires different treatment than the apple, especially in spraying. It is sometimes necessary to- spray apples with a mixture that would injure the peach foliage and with these two planted close together it would be very inconvenient to treat the one without more or less of the spray reaching the other. Again it usually requires more courage than most of us have to cut" out a good peach tree at the proper season. They are usually left too long. However, considering the value of lands near St. Louis, it is more important that every available iixch.be utilized and. more immediate^returns than where land can be procured for ^only a few dollars per acre and it may thereforV'he desirable to use the peach as a tiller in this locality. f Big Shipment of Pigeons.—Robt Cox shipped from Chicago on Tuesday the 17th Inst., a straight carload of pigeons to the number of 13,000, using L.

Don Gordon came out of t h e messroom pf tho regiment a t Rawal Pindl and, vaulting the horse his native servant held in readiness for him, U ok his way through tho balmy Indian, spying evening toward the pretty bungalow of Capt. Derwciit of t h e Gordon Highlanders. Don's pale, cheek was flushed, and he carried his siim young figure, in its K h a r k i uniform, with more of its old majestic awarder than hud characterized it for many weeks, for he had baen twice in hospital since -he had volun- "teere3"TrlSTn^EBnie £or_act.i_Ye seryir-?_ on the frontier with t h e first battalion ot the Sherwood Foresters. Ho had only now just recovered from a severe gunshot wound from an Afridl rifle, received whilst leading a score of his brave Derbyshire company on a foraging expedition. But t h e exhilaration of^hope more t h a n of renewed health w a s accountable for h i s springing step a n d t h o light in his large brown eyes. The British mail had brought him a letter from his cousin Roddy, which afforded htm much satisfaction, for it contained t h e announcement of Roddy's engagement to Don's sister, Diana, thereby setting a t rest forever a lurking fear in Don's h e a r t that Roddy's thoughts were centered on Capt. Derwent's fair daughter, Lillie. The "White Lily," s h e was n o t inaptly called in the cantonment,whither she had accompanied h e r father from Alrtershot some m o n t h s gone by. __.. Don rode a t a brisk canter through the lines toward t h e green compound, where teak and peupul trees rose darkly against t h e clear blue sky, and t h e red fireflies flashed in and out among the slender shafts of t h e graceful bamboos. But in t h e mind's eye of t h e soldier it was another scene which suddenly rose before him. He seemed to see a beloved and lovely landscape in fair Aberdeenshire. He heard t h e m u r m u r of a river and t h e songof thrushes from t h e privet hedgerows. He looked upon the lordly Scottish home of Gadie H a ' , to which h e had grown up from infancy to believe himself t h e heir, and h i s grip on his mare's rein tightened, a n d tho still unconquered bitterness of fierce disappointment .swept his heart anew. His mother's deathbed confession had proved his foster-brother, Roddy. to be t h e heir; but it was not against Roddy t h a t Don felt a n y personal grievance—Roddy, one of the gay Gordon Highlanders -with whom he had fought side' by sidH through t h e recant campaign of The Tirah field forced and who had heroically saved Don's life in the deadly thick of battle. No; it wTas against t h e cruelty of circumstances which h a d robbed h i m at o n e fell blow of r a n k an A wealth and that natural case so dear tw his inmost soul. For "King Don," as h i s brother officers jokingly termed him, was born to rule with a high-handed self-righteousness, and to his proud spirit disinheritance had well-nigh been more bitter than death. H i s uncle, t h e present Laird of Gadie, might stitl allow him ample mean3 o u t of t h e Gadie revenues; but to Don it w e r e small compensation" for his forfeited rights of heirship. He might yet succeed in winning t h e peerless, heiress, Lillie Derwent, for his bride; but as Don knew in his secret heart, it was only when Lillie Derwent had unexpectedly become an heir- ' ess h i s thoughts h a d ever turned to her with7 anything akin to love, and o n c e ^ l r e a d y he had well merited her rejection of his proposal. /Alas! and alas! for it w a s love's /hcutest suffering alone, was to prove to Don a t last Not to understand a treasure's worth Till time has stolen away t h e slightest good, Is cause for half t h e poverty we feel, And makes world t h e wilderness it is. As Don neared h i s destination h e rode forward more slowly, for he w a s now conscious of a little quickening of his pulse. . In t h e circle of home society, a n a l - ready disappointed m a n would scarcely return to his fair one, like a moth t o a candle, after a lapse* of months; b u t circumstanced a s h e and Lillie were, now cast for tho time being together In a foreign land, m a t t e r s seemed very different. Capt. Derwent w a s absent with t h e Held , force; LiUio w a s alone in a strange country, a t present sharing her bungalow with t h o young wldQw a n d baby boy of a n officer recently killed on t h e front, a n d t o whom Lillie's heart had gone o u t ^ l n deepest sympathy. — Don was subtly conscious t h a t the Lillie Derwent of to-day w a s a very different Lillie from t h e coquette who had toyed in t h e past with, his Cousin Roddy's boyish love, or even t h e Lillie who h a d repudiated h i s own offer ot marriage with such scorn. F o r he realized now that Lillie had come to know t h e colace ot reliance upon t h a t Divine Anchor, whose storm-tossed souls a r e never shipwrecked. Don knew himself t o be b u t a rudderless barque, drifting on a shoreless sea; but though faith awoke no responsive echo in his own heart, h e admired Lillie none the_..less for the change which h a d ' m a d e her a truer and nobler woman t h a n t h e thoughtless, somewhat heartless maiden of t h e past. Tne interest she h a d manifested in his—Don's—convalescence, a n d hi3 career altogether, lent impetus t o t h e thought that she would n o t refuse him her hand a second time. Marriage with Lillie would mean to him affluence equal t o t h e rent rolls of Gadie, and—well, h e admired Lillie a s much as Don felt it incumbent upon him to aumire any one, t o t h e exclusion of t h e overruling idol of his life, and that was self. But it was almost with t h e air of an ardent lover Don drew rein before the spacious white house surrounded by a cool veranda, between whose slender columns green blinds of split bamboo excluded t h e heat of the sun by day. "Yes, t h e meinsahib was a t home," fie was informed by t h e durwan—doorkeeper— who hurried to his summons. A gong was banged to announce a visitor, an<l thereupon another native, red-turbaned and white-caftaned, a p - peared on the threshold a n d salaamed Don Gordon through t h e white vestibule toward a delightful apartment, which proved to be untenanted. It was a veritable lady's boudoir, furnished with* European taste a n d Oriental splendor combined. On t h e walls were d c ^ e d valuable prints in English frames, w7-ch Don remembered to have adorned! Capt. Derwent's private quarters a t home. They had a touch of pathos as seen in conjunction with t h e great gilded punkah which hung overhead. About tire room were scattered t h e books a n d : thousand a n d one knickknacks which betrayed t h a t even in far northeastern India an English lady must have her drawing-room. It is her own especial kingdom, where she can gather together and enshrine in constant remembrance all the pretty trifles which make up t h e larger comforts of the mother country. Bon "Gordon, "standing fn t h e center of t h e room for an i n s t a n t irresolute, took in all the details a t a glance. Then he walked to the large window opening into a garden.' It was still light enough for the. lamps to be unlit, and the scent of t h e orm-ge blossoms a n d t h e tuberoses stole softly in on the air. He was usually self-governed to a fault; b u t t h e sight of this English room had stirred anew deep thoughts of t h a t distant Scottish home he toid himself h e could never bear to look upon again. A^silk curtain which draped the door suddenly rustled, and, turning quickly, Don found the girl h e had come to see' ' a d v a n c i n g to meet him. Lillie Derwent wore a simple gown of washing silk, which came close about her slender throat; b u t it was of spotless white, and t h e fine mold of her sloping shoulders a n d rounded arms showed dazzlingly through i t s delicate texture, and her a b u n d a n t golden hair formed a coronet with which no jewels could have vied. As hc> looked at h e r Don felt h i s heart stirred with admiration, for she was a vision of loveliness of which any m a n might be proud, much more a would-be lover. And Lillie, who shall say what were her swift thoughts of t h e tall, slim soldier, looking doubly handsome a t t h a t moment in h i s K h a r k i uniform, one hand holding his helmet, the other resting lightly on t h e hilt of hia sword. The next instant t h e helmet was laid on t h e floor, and h e w a s taking both her hands and retaining them, with an unmistakable emotion.. "I hope you don't mind me coming so awfully late. Miss Derwent; but I was on duty off and on till mess, and then some fellows detained me so long till I had simply to rush away and ride here post haste." She smiled a s she seated herself on a divan a n d motioned h i m t o a chair near her. "But, indeed, it is n o t a t alTTate, and I a m very pleaseoT t o see you, Capt. Gordon." Then s h e added, with a aplce of her old coquetry: "And what urgent necessity t h a t could n o t wait a n o t h e r day brought you here post' h a s t e ? " Don felt his breach come quicker, for; despite those visits a n d presents of fruit a n d Invalid dainties with which s h e a r e d honored h i m i n hospital, h e was not a t all sure how high In h e r esteem h e bad reached. "I J e a r I made it a point of necessity," he^answered bluntly; " b u t I h a d a letter from home today, Miss Derwent, and—and t h e fact is I couldn't sleep till I'd had five minutes' private conversation with you. You won't r e - fuse me i t ? " h e broke off, with a look In his dark eyes she could n o t mistake. She flushed a n d looked down before t h a t ardent gaze. "Mrs. F r a n k l i n is always engaged with Cecil and his ayah just n o w , " s h e said softly. " W c shan n o t be disturbed." Don rose a n d drew h i s chair nearer hers; but the tete-a-tete was disturbed in a very commonplace w a y neither had thought of a t t h a t tense moment. Darkness had suddenly set in, for there is no twilight in India. A servant was noiselessly lighting t h e lamps, and t h e huge punkah h a d begun t o swing to and fro overhead to temper tho added heat. It was when-tea-and eeffee were b e - ing served Lillie broke t h e somewhat awkward silnce which had fallen upon her visitor and herself by saying sotto voce: .,. "I think o n e t h i n g t h a t makes ono appreciate Indian life is t o have one'd comforts attended t o a s these natived do it. Really, wo cannot rely upon such faithful service from o u r own countrymen." It w a s t h e . k e y n o t e for Don's waiting eloquence. " T h a t ' s r a t h e r rough on present company, is it n o t ? " he objected. "You know, o r you ought to know, Miss Derwent, I am ready t o serve you, anywhere in the wide world." She blushed crimson. "Oh, b u t you misconstrue my meaning altogether, Capt. Gordon. I w a s only talking of hired service, n o t " She stopped in some- confusion a n d hurriedly added: " N o t friendship," whilst she blushed deeper" than ever. Don p u t u p his right hand with a little gesture of languid beseeching au he poised his tiny cup of coffee in hin left palm and leaned back restfully in his softly cushioned chair, for that bright blush, which made h i s hostesn look so bewitching, h a d added much to his composure a n d confidence. Yes, she was really very pretty, a n d he was n o t sure but t h a t h e loved h e r very deeply indeed. "Don't throw t h e devotion of your slave back i n h i s face by calling it friendship?" he said. "Lillie!" H e laid down "Eis cup now, and leaned toward her to get a glimpse of t h e fair face behind t h e fan she had opened and was fluttering nervously. "Lillie. won't you believe m e ? You held my happiness in your hands; m y fife is yours t o do what you will with; but I want my wages as much a s a n y cne of your natives—I want the* gift of this hand and vhe heart that owns i t ! " He had risen now, and, standing over her, h a d imprisoned t h e white fingers t h a t held the fan with a masterful a i r -that bespoke all t h e - a r d o r of a,-determined lover. Did Lillie's thoughts lly back to another night in t h e far past, when thus another Gordon h a d stood over* her and claimed t h e love h e believed to be his? !; But this was not the same Lillie who had allowed Roddy Gordon to think her heart won t o his keeping w h o looked up now in t h e eyes of "Roddy's kinsman. Love had taught h e r its mystic lesson, a n d she knew now t h a t . i t was to Don Gordon alone h e r heart m u s t be surrendered for all time.

And Don must have read t h a t u n - spoken confession, for suddenly h e sank down on t h e divan beside h e r . and his a r m went round h e r a n d drew her golden head to hi's shoulder. ^"You will promise to be my wife, Lillie?" he whispered. Despite i t s tenderness, t h e question lacked t h e passion for which h e r own great love clamored, and she answered it with, another, of shy hesitation: "Don. do you really, truly love m e ? " Don bent his lips to hers with a n a r - dor t h a t carried conviction with it, for the moment was full of intoxicating sweetness, a n d till now he h a d cherished h i s freedom too dearly t o know anything of t h e r a p t u r e of "love's young dream." "My darling." h e spoke, reproachfully, "don't shame me with t h e remembrance of t h a t day when I asked you to be t h e future mistress of Gadie H a ' ! " The ignominy of that hour, when Don knew he justly deserved h e r repudiation, w a s too indelibly branded upon his memory t o be ever altogether effaced. Lillie's eyes filled with quick tears for having caused h e r lover t h a t momentary pang. "Oh, indeed, I never meant to do that, D o n ! " s h e cried, generously, "only " "Only?" h e repeated*-with * je&lous note of inquiry. "Don't tell m e , Lil* lie, for pity's sake, t h a t you care a scrap for t h a t happy fellow, R o d d y ? " (To be Continued.) A Complete System of Irrigation Relieves t h e Anxiety About Bain That Prevails U Other Parte or t h e United State*—East and Jt—t Compared. We are permitted t o publish a n e x - tract from a private letter written by a gentleman who h a s recently been devoting his time to t h e personal i n - vestigation of practical farming by irrigation in the west. H i s vivid portrayal of t h e advantages of t h a t system will no doubt interest our readers. He says: "There is a vast, a n immeasurable difference between farming in the ea3t and farming in t h e west. If the farmers of.the east could only be made t o understand the advantages enjoyed by their western brethren, I verily believe there would soon be no land for settlement in the great irrigation states. The irrigation farmer h a s absolute certainty of crop, and certainty of Us perfect maturity. Ho never plants -that" he "dffes Trot reap, and when .I say reap I don't mean the reaping of scattered stands of half matured grain such as the eastern farmer cuts at th<i dose of a dry season: b u t the reaping of fields that frequently average 50 bushels of wheat to t h e acre—every grain of which h a s reached t h e perfection of development. There is n o anxious scanning of t h e skies for t h * 'cloud no larger than a man's hand' and fervent prayers t h a t it m a y e n - velop t h e heavens and send down water to the thirsty fields. The irrigation farmer never thinks about rain. He watches his growing crops, and t h e day and the hour moisture is needed, he 13 out with h i s hoe flooding his fields with water from canals that skirt them. "Everything grows In the west t h a t grows anywhere else in the United States north of Tennessee. Potatoes frequently yield 50Q bushels to t h e acre, and barley is grbwn far better than any raised in t h e east. T h e fruits are delicious. I never saw any to compare with those grown in Idaho, where apples, peaches, plums, cherries, pears, apricots abound, and where there are thousands of acres of Italian and German prune3 which I am told have made fortunes for their owner*. "To my mind, Idaho is the best watered and most inviting arid state j n the Union. I made a careful investigation of t h e great Snake River valley in that state, along and tributary to the Oregon Short Line Railroad, and saw there evidences of prosperity such as I have never seen elsewhere in t h e United State?. This wonderful valley is said to contain over 3.000,000 acres of arable land. It is threaded with great "irrigation canals in every direction, and there a r e vast tracts awaiting only t h e touch of t h e farmer t o make them productive. The sun doesn't shine on finer or mere fertile land. When I saw the happy homes, the~well filled granaries, t h e sle^k, fat stock, and the smile o n t h e face of nature TefiecteiT in"a smile of contentment on the faces of t h e farmers, my heart went oht in pity to the thousands in the east who are struggling along from year to year, toiling against adverse climatic conditions, a n d never knowing how soon a drouth will wipe out the'profits, of prosperous years. "Lands can be had in this Snake River valley almost for t h e asking. • but they are going, day by day. T h e 'Oregon Short Line is making extraordinary efforts to bring the advantages of Idaho t o t h e notice cf eastern farmers, and is flooding t h e country with conservatively written descriptions of the state. Write to the General Passenger Agent of this Railroad at Salt Lake for printed matter about Idaho, and read it carefully.

To Aid and OrpkMMM o* th« to Military Scandal la Court. ~~~ The most unexpected'and sensational developments came u p in connection with the Marsh case which commenced before Judge Wiest in the I n g h a m circuit court on the 6th. I t was well understood t h a t t h e attorneys, for Gen. Marsh intended to make a strenuous fight to have the case continued until the next term and they did so. occupying nearly the entire day with their" arguments. They signally failed not only to secure a continuance, but even a postponement of t h e trial, and the court ordered the case on call for the next day. With his feeling wrought up to the hignest pitch, and maddened by the decision of the court against him, Judge Speed, of Detroit, who appeared as counsel for Marsh, dramatically announced t h a t he and his as —sociate, Mr. Pope, would w i t h d r a w from the case. J u d g e Wiest'.* denial of the request for a continuance was based on t h e facts t h a t Gen. White had been a fugitive from justice for70 days. and t h a t as time goes on it lessens the probability of apprehending him; t h a t the lost military records are not likely to be found; t h a t he is not satisfied t h a t the elder Mr. Marsh is too feeble to attend court, etc., hence the application for a continuance was denied.

It Would seem that people will never learn to_be_careTuI. The recent alarming spread of th.at dire epidemic, smallpox, throughout different sections of the country has been traced by physicians and sanitarians In many instances directly to the moldy and rotting layers of paper and paste which cover the walls of many houses. The practice of laying layer after layer of paper on_ a wall, using common flour paste, is especially calculated t o create homes for disease germs. -People could ntit do more to effect such a result if they tried. The rotting vegetable matter affords caves from which are ready to dart forth the infection a t every opportunity. There is no excuse for this practice, as walls and ceilings can be coated with a pure, cleanly and sanitary material like Alabastine, for instance, a t no greater expense. Alabastine Is a rock-base cement, which Incorporates itself with the wall or ceiling. It is easily applied, .comes ready to mix with cold water, requires no washing or scraping before renewing or retinting, is beautiful, long-lasting and safe. For walls t h a t have been infected, nothing is equal to Alabastine as a disinfectant to render them pure and clean and the rooms once more habitable. Not a Had GUARS.

She looked up in his face with a little smile that would have appeased a very martinet in love. "I am very sure that Roddy does not care a scrap nowadays for me," she said demurely, adding, with sweet contrition, "and I am not surprised, after the way I treated him. But I was only a thoughtless girl in those days, and 1 know he has forgiven me." "How long ago is it since 'those days'?" queried Don, toying with a golden strand of her hair. Her words had restored his reassurance and calm. "I try to think it is a long, long time, Don," she answered gravely, "for then I never thought of right or wrong, or how beautiful it makes life if we try to serve God rather than self. Oh," she broke off, with a thrill of emotion In her voice, "sometimes I pray I may live to be an old woman, just to try to make up for all those wasted years." "And so I, too, pray that you may, though it were only to solace the/declining years of a lost sinner like/ myself, sweet saint," he rejoined, lightly. "And now, my darling, since I know your heart is mine, beyond retraction, I can risk to tell you my news from home today. That faithles^ Roddy is about to be espoused to my sister, DI." "Oh, I am so glad—so glad!" she exclaimed, and there wa3'no mistaking the genuine warmth of her words. "You will tell him that when' you write, Won't you, Don^? And I myself will wrjtejto Di. Oh, Don, I think Di fs one of the noblest women in the whole world. But for her example I should never have learned to remember our lives are not our own." Don rose from her side with a momentary flush on his cheek. "You were not always such a little Puritan, Lillie," he rallied her, "or, don't you know, 'pon my word, I should have been afraid to think It possible you would ever look at such a reprobate as me, for—you know I am not a hypocrite, Lillie—I'm not a good fellow by any means, and, to tell the truth, I don't want to be one." It was_a bold thing fort him to say in the face of her guileless professions of faith; but love made Lillie blind to everything but the bliss of knowing he had claimed her heart forever, and that into his hands had been put the wondrous power of making his chequered life blessed. She rose, too, and put her hands out to him with a sweetness that banished all thought of alien opinion. "Some day, Don, perhapsT yor. will come to know, as I do now, that this world is not everything; and so long as you love me I am content to wait for I know that God will make it plain to you in His own good time." Don's arms closed around her with more demonstrative tenderness than he had yet shown. "My white Lily, I am perfectly certain we shall prove a model Darby and Joan, for, s.nce you will have me, what do I care for anything else?" And then he kissed her again, and murmured "sweet nothings" in her ear that brought the color flitting happily to her lovely cheek. Lastly he drew from his little finger a gold band, bearing a diamond ivy leaf, and inscribed Inside with the single word "Bydand" —steadfast—the Gordon badge and motto. And when he had placed it on the third finger of Lillie's fair hand, she repaid him by throwing her arms about his neclrand giving him the first shy kiss of love. "Oh, Don, may- we be like the ivy, and always cling close to each other. May nothing ever come- between us two!" she cried. Those words of deepest love might mayhap have fallen more fitly from the man'js lips than the girl's; but Don read in their sweet solemnity the hidden meaning of a hoped-for higher bond of union, and he only smiled considerately as he held hep-close and returned her kiss with .liberal Interest "I hope," he said playfully, "that means you never, never would be so cruel as to jilt me as you did old Roddy. There! forgive me, sweet, I'm a brute to have reminded you of those days when you were such a dear little coquette. Are you quite sure you are not afraid of giving yourself to such a jealous beggar as I am, Lillie? For you know I am jealous." "Do you know why. I didn't tell you of Roddy's e n g a g e m e n t j i l l j j t n o w that mere shawl, and a champac necklace?" he queried, laughing. But the question turned Lillie's blushing face for the instant pale. It had suddenly reminded her of Captain Derwent's favor of this would-be suitor for her hand. Prince Clement Sing, though a native of the Punjaub, had European blood i n his veins, and had lived from boyhood in England, and graduated at one of the English universities. "I wouToTnave returned the presents, but father explained to me it would give serious offense," she said deprecatingly. "ItTwas unpleasant to have to accept them; but if it is the custom of the country to give costly things like that as we give flowers and trifles at home—^-" She stopped. "I was only joking," Don interrupted her calmly. "But this reminds me, love. I shall haveii>_gfit your father's consent, I suppose, before I can ask you to name the h»ppy day? For you know of old I'm not a patient fellow, Lillie. I like things to be assured and smooth-sailing. I stick to the fine old maxim: 'If 'twere well 'twere done, then 'twere well it were done quickly'." She looked up in her tali lover's face with a piquant, dubious smile. "That sounds almost like getting over a disagreeable duty," she objected. "And I am sure my father won't want me to run away from him just yet—not till this disturbance on the frontier is over, and he is ready to take me home." For to the heart of a Briton, i n whatever foreign clime, the sacred name of "Home" belongs to the beloved British Isles alone. For answer Don drew her once more within his arms. "I can't wait for that, Lillie." And if his mastery arose more from the dogmatic will cf the man than the impetuosity of the lover, there was no doubt about his earnestness. "If you ever go back home, It must be as my wife; but, Lillie, I won't promise you I would take you. I could not bear it, for I am a homeless wanderer now." The quiver in his voice moved her profoundly. "We will make a fresh home, Don, you and I, wherever you like in the whole world," she said. Even Don, self-absorbed as was his nature, was touched by her devotion. "You are very generous, my darling, and I am going to take you at your word by asking your father to give you to me before the summer. I hope to see him in a very short time, for I have just had orders to take a relief draft of our Derbys out to join his camp to-morrow," She turned pale as her clinging gown. "To-morrow? Oh, Don, why didn't you tell me before you were going to leave meLto-morrow?" "Because ill news is told alt too soon," he answered gently. "But cheer up, child, I danTnexpect to be gone more than three or four weeks at the most." But she clung to him, with the tears swimming in «*her beautiful blue eyes. "Oh, Don, my dearest, I shall be dreading all sorts of things happening to you on the way! I used to feel so frightened when my father went out first; but now I know he is safely in camp it is different. Oh, Don!" she broke off, "if you never come back to me it would break my heart!" "My darling," he reassured her, "the tribes have surrendered, and the war is practically over. There's really nothing to be nervous about." "You must think of me killing time counting the hours which will bring me back to the dear little woman who is going to open a paradise for the poor outcast wanderer." She pat up her little hand to his lips-. "Don't call yourself that, Don. As we hope to be forgiven, forgive and forget the wrong your mother did you when she brought you up as Gadie's heir. Remember it was all for love of you she Binned." "What then, sweet pleader, would you have it that love condones a sin?" he queried, capturing the hand and covering It with kisses. "God forbid!" she answered earnestly; "but surely, because of that love, forgiveness should be easier?" Ah! how both were to remember that mTWftraaHnn In a hitter day to come? shoulders, Accompanied her lover to the veranda. The moon had risen, and in i t s clear light her lovely face, with i t s aureole of golden hair, shone radiant with its love, but quivering with the pain which this moment of farewell brought . The red fireflies were flashing, the perfume of rose and pink oleander waited from the garden on the hot air. On the far-stretching terrace of the bungalow a great adjutant bird, with its head nestling under its wing, w a s silhouetted against the silvery expanse of sky. From the prickly-pear hedge of the compound rose anon the melancholy howl of a jackal. All unconsciously, scene and hour^ were to be fixed irrevocably upon Don Gordon's memory down to the veriest trifle. He took his cloak from the native's hand, and, throwing it on, stood trifling with its clasp to prolong the exquisite fascination of the spell which had suddenly fallen upon him and'held him in Its grasp. Was it the mystic secret of love which was coming to him there on the silvery wings of the tropic night. J l e stooped at last ind.gathered_the trembling girl in a, lingering embrace. "What message shall I take to the father, little one?" "That I love you," she answered simply, "and that I only live for you both to come back to me." He sealed the confession with a passionate kiss, and tore himself away, to spring lightly to the saddle. For a n instant he paused on his prancing steed with bared head, his brown eyes bent upon her, and a smile on his moustached lips. "Till we meet again." He spoke softly then, as, kissing his hand to her, he' resumed his helmet and galloped away into the moonlit night. "Till we meet again!" She lifted her tear-dimmed eye3 to the star-spangled heavens in a mute supplication that the. Father of all would watch between him and her till that day came. Ah! she little knew what the interval held in store. I had won your dear heart? Because I didn't want to be taken buToTptty. "You need never be jealous of me any more, Don," she-said, with sweet earnestness. "What of His Highness Prince Clement Sing, who your father told me sent you lately a present of a certain cash- All too soon came the final moment -last caresses and parting words, for presently the red-turbaned native announced that "Gordon sahib's horse Was at the gate as ordered, and his cloak also, as dew was falling."

The next morn-- Ing, without a hint of headache, the wife^ arose, and the first thing she did was to take a stand before the stopped clock. Its hands pointed to half-past 2. "Now, I know what time it was when you came in last night," she said sweetly.—New York Evening Sun. CHAPTER III. "Impossible, my dear sir—impossible!" It was Captain DSrwent who spoke in that decidedly aggressive tone of decision, and he whom he addressed was Don Gordon, as they strolled in company along a narrow track by the side of arwinding nullah, on their way back to mess at the Tirah camp. It was nearly three weeks since the lover had bidden Lillie farewell, and she it was who was under discussion now. Don's cheek was flushed, and his dark eyes glowed ominously as their glance followed the clouds of pale smoke from the cheroot he puffed for severaLmin=_ utes in proud silence. That he had never contemplated Captain Derwent's blunt refusal of his suit was very certain, by the easy assurance with which he had courted and won Lillie's own consent. "You say it is impossible your daughter should ever be my wife?" Don spoke at last, with painful distinctness. It was characteristic of Don's nature that he.was rarely roused to passion; but, once roused, it was deep and last-' ing; and by the pallor that had replaced the flush upon his face it was too evident he was moved to passion now. "Perfectly impossible, my dear fellow, though I hate telling you so, don't you know?" "Since you have told me so much, I should like that you will tell me more," said Don, in that calm voice that little betrayed the fire at his heart. "May I ask why it is perfectly Impossible?" "My dear sir," exclaimed the elder officer, somewhat sharply, "if your own common sense does not tell you my chief reasons, then you must pardon my being outspoken. You've said yourself you haven't a rupee beyond your pay and what your uncle, Colonel Gordon, chooses to allow you yearly. Now, honestly, do you consider you are at all a suitable match for my little girl, who. you must remember, is now an heiress. Had j o u been heir of Gadie " "Thanks," said Don curtly. "I do not need to be reminded of my reversed fortunes, and, I will confess, i should never have asked Lillie to share my poverty, ft Is only the fact of her being an heiress makes it possible she could ever become my wife." " T o n my word, sir, you're frank!" exclaimed Captain Derwent, irritated by what he deemed effrontery on Don's part. "My daughter should be honored to know that, had s h e , been a 'tocherless l a s s / as we . say in the north, you would have had none of her." He laughed, as if to pass the matter off as a joke; but he was genuine^ annoyed. "—~~ (Tu be continued.)

Moody's death brings to mind the fact that he and his collaborator, Mr. Santcey, exerted the most beneficial influence upon the organ trade for m a n y years. When they were at the height of their success people all wished to be able to sing their h y m n s at home, and an organ seemed to produce the best effect, so that their tour w a s alw a y s sure to be followed by substantial orders for small organs suitable for the household.

Nancy w a s altogether the m o s t interesting person we had ever met. She had green eyes, so clear and luminous that it seemed almost possible to s'ke through them. Her forehead was h i g h and unshaded by, curls of any sort. Indeed, her pale hair was brushed back relentlessly from her brow. Her mouth w a s large and kindly. Her complexion w h i t e and wax-like.

He caused packages of "McMahan's Tea" to Tie thrown at nearly evarj* door in the city. "In a short time," said he, "we shall see that at least a package Is left semi-annually at every door in the United States." It may seem curious, but returns began to come in almost immediately. It seemed like a -sort of commercial miracle. In a short time Jay deserted hls_ electrical experiments.

On his arrival from the trip up Forty-Mile river, he found the Yukon jammed w i t h huge cakes of ice, which it was. unsafe to cross because of the great holes through w h i c h a m a n or mailpouch m i g h t easily fall.

She had a heart that ached to love, and not finding a n y - thing better at hand she consented to love us. We returned It in kind, and-got i n t o the way of sharing everything with Nancy. We hardly enjoyed our o w n jokes till she ha.'i given them the approval of her layghter. She k n e w our hopes and expeccations and In our happy selfishness we overlooked the fact that she had neither hope nor expectation. Late one winter after our dear friend had worn herself out with ineffectual tramping of the icy street In the bleak wind, she fell ill with pleurisy, and though we gave her our unremitting attention, p a w n i n g somV^pf our trinkets *.o buv her medicine, she died. Nora Brandon and Jay and I s a w her laid away a m o n g the poor. "This is but a lodging for the night," said my husband, weeping, "noma day she shall lie in a better place than this and have her own headstone." N o t thai it mattered to Nancy. We couldn't help laughing when w e found that the dear old t h i n g had made a will, leaving everything to us. She had left J a y all of her furniture and the apparatus with which she had made her hygienic face powder, and she had bequeathed mo her quaint old clothes and a recipe. The recipe w a s contained In a letter. It said: "My Dearest Friend: I shall be flervl w h e n you t a k e t h i s in your hand, and so I shall not mind having y o u l a u g h at me.

Although not exactly a popular custom, s m o k i n g in churches has been and is more largely indulged in than is generally supposed. The custom Is Dutch, that people being m o s t inveterate smokers and rarely s^on without their pipe. They even indulge it: it In their churches,and spittoons are frequently provided for the better accommodation of those members of the congregation w h o cannot deny themselves the enjoyment of H smoke, A. similar practice e x i s t s ia several churehes-in South America, Smoking in churches in this country is said to huve been prevalent in the last years of the sixteenth a n d the beginning of the seventeenth century. At one time smoking w a s carried to such an excess in Seville Cathedral that the Chapter applied to vhe Pope for power to repress the abuse. Urban VIII., yielding to their wish, issued a bull, which w a s promulgated on January 30, 1642. In W a l e s s m o k i n g in church w a s indulged in as late a s 1850. I n o n e church the communion table stood ID the aisle, and the farmers were in the habit of putting their hate upon it, and when the sermon.b«gan they lit their pipeG and smoked, but without a n y Idea of irreverence. It is also stated that w h e n the Archbishbp of Y o r k w a s on a visitation in St. Mary's, N o t t i n g h a m , he ordered some of h i s a t t e n d a n t s to bring h i m a pipe, tobacco and some liquor Into the vestry for h i s refreshment after the fatigue of confirmation, but the rector would n o t allow It to be done. It w a s reported recently that at a Presbytery meeting in Scotland an adjournment w a s made t o the churchyard, w h e r e all the members lighted up their pipes and had a s m o k e before returning to their deliberations. t r e a t y extended^ oVer the island of P u e r t o Rico and its inhabitants.

(Boise, Idaho, Letter,) Most of the people w h o Tarm ih t h e rainfall regions suppose that the irrigation of-land is a co'vHcaifed processfcnd that the art of^ d o i n g it can only be'acquired after years of experience, whereas, a s a m a t t e r " of fatft- it isbboui the easiest and most -simple work the western farmer h a s to do. Inmost cases the children attend to i t under the direction of t h e i r ' p a r e n t s , and any boy of 10 or 12 can do a man'* work when it cornea to irrigation. The western farmer is wholly indifr feront as to ralnfalL He doesn't depend upon it in the jeast. The water that interests him IsAhat which flows, dow-. into the valley from the melting s n o w s In the mountain ranges. These waters he diverts into great canaU which run along the rim of tbovalley about the irrigable la ids and are-tapped at stated Intervals by what are called "laterals" or sub-ditches which flow from farm to farm and out of which the farmer takes the water for bis fields. In some cases the waters of these mountain streams are acquired by the community of farmers along their course, each one holding a§ many shares of stock in the co-operative Yaqul Indiana Capture a Town. A dispatch from Potam, Mex., dated March 6 says: Three d a y s ago t h e Y a q u i s intercepted the mail, w h i c h w a s b e i n g conveyed under an escort of 300 soldiers.

T H E N E W S C O N D E N S E D Color of the Eyes.

There is, therefore, truth a s well as poetry in the statem e n t that babies :ocr; about t h e m in "bine-eyed wonder." The wonder may 'be left tfl poets and philosophers, tmt the blue Is a l w a y s a practical fact.

This Is the usual plan. But when the construction of the m a i n canal, owing to engineering difficulties, is too expensive a piect of business for t h e farmer to afford. Irrigation companies undertake the work and build the canal into portions of the country where large areas of land are to be reclaimed. These Irrigation c o m p a n i o n s are "common carriers" of water and furnish it for a nominal price per acre per annum to the farmer. Sometimes these Irrigation companies o w n largie tracts under their ditch which they sell in small farnig with the water right, t o settlers at a nominal prices per acre. In other instances they do not own land at all, leaving that to be acquired by the settler under the various acts of congress. Perhaps no portion of the Union is now m a k i n g such active progress in irrigation development, or is receiving so large a quota of immigrants as .southern Idaho. There are millions of unoccupied acres in that state which ,only a- ait settlement to become as proi'uCi.ve as the lands upon the Nile, E"orU arc being put forth by the stato autho ities to bring the advantages of t h e s - lands to the notice of the eastern farmer, and the several railroads of the state are engageiL i n the work. . Perhaps the easiest a n d the best way to acquire Information is from the General Passenger Agent of the Oregon Short liine at.-Salt Lake C i t y r f r o m whence conservatively prepared pamphlets descriptive eff irrigation methods and containing reliable information about the various localit.es now open for settlement, are being mailed free. • < The time is certainly n o t far distant when the unoccupied public domain <J!

While onr villagers were slumbering Monday night a break occuredjn_^ jmiil_dam at this place and the wa+er took a sneak towards Portage lake. So quietly was it all done that no one was aware of the damage until morning. The break ocrurel ]ust east of the waste gate and it is tbooght to have been caused by rats as the water was. not high at that point and would have flowed over at the mill first as, that was kept lower on purpose to gage the raise of water. The break is about 20 feet across and ten deep. The work of repairing will begin as soon as tbe weather and ice will permit, however water enough will be turned into tbe flume in a few days to do all feed grinding and the mill has % nite a stock of flour on hand Tbos. iirkett was up and looked the matter over Tuesday and said he thought $250 would cover the damage, and he will begin at once to get material on tbe ground to repair it. The same dam broke away three years ago only in another place and much more damage. Card of Thanks.

Sotytb Company of CaieafO,- ' . ; - : - . For one-third of a century' this Company has been In business. Beginning in a small-fray,.-they suppHed > their neicn~ bora in the near-by towns, each year widening their field. They are now sell" ing merchandise direct to the consumer at wholesale prices •throughout the* United StateB. Some years ago they began supplying their customers with an illustrated catalogue. As the business expanded they were obliged to Increase the sise of this catalogue, until today -it exceeds 1.000 illustrated pages, quoting the lowest wholesale prices on everything to Eat, Wear and use. By a superior process of color photography they illustrate many of their goods in natural colors, bringing out the rich color value of curtains, carpets, draperies, and the latest designs in wall Kaper, etc., thus enabling the customer undreds of miles distant to select goods at his own fireside, knowing by the description, illustration and price the class o f g o o d a he may expect. This feature oTTheir trasrness 4* becoming more and more popular each year, -for it not only savos long and- tiresome railroad Journeys but is a great time saver. It leaves out the profit of the jobbing house, the retailer, the expensive commercial traveler, the general agent, the sub-agent and thus eliminates from one tn -fuur profits, aaving this amount for the consumer^ in short, it la a "great wholesale store brought to the home. The mammoth catalogue referred to is a 20th century dictionary of economy. The illustration below shows the recent building added to this great enterprise. . The success of this Company seems incredible, considering the fact that they have advertised sn little. Their spirit of fairness and industry is the secret of this wonderful success. The quantity of goods they require in some lines enables them to handle train loads of merchandise secured at the lowest possible cost and freight rate. „ "When goods in the rough are coming from the mills and factories in the East, the lake steamers are pressed into service at a freight expense which is but little in advance of the iron ore rates.

She loves.me, and I repeat my right to claim her." Ho tossed away the stump of his cigar and turned to look at hi3 companion with haughty defiance—that proud air of majesty which had put fear and trembling into the heart of many a raw recruit, * But Captain DerwenT was ho raw recruit, but a very veteran in affairs of lovo and war, and he could afford to meet Don's calm nonchalance with an equally calm smile. "My dear c h a c I'm extremely sorry; but the child is under age just>yet, and as I happen to have mapped put a more brilliant career for her, I'm afraid 1 must emphatically veto that claim of yours." "A more brilliant career?" repeated Don, with young indignation. "Even if you are callous to my feelings, Captain Derwent^/haye you no care for Lillie's happiness? For I tell you she loves me," attested the lover proudly. "And, as frequently occurs^, it's a lady's privilege to change her mind," rejoined Lillie's father, Bmiling. "As, for example, my little Lillie's shortlived affair with your Cousin Roddy, not so many years since." \ "It is sufficiently long since to have completely changed'the Liilte of those days to the Lillte of to-day," said Don, who,N however skeptical himself of that faith Whose belief had so transformed the thoughtless Lillie of the past, was sincere ekpugh to acknowledge Its charm in hei;. "She loves me as she never loved Roddy," affirmed Don, in his imperious way; "and," he added, meeting Captain Derwent's eyes with a look that was like the flashing of crossed swords, "I mean to win her." "Don't be too sure, my friend," said the Captain, laughing. "I glvo you tho hint, you'll have Prince Clement Sing to reckon with, as well as myself." Don stopped and wheeled round upon his companion, fierce words bursting through his set teeth, an oath all the more vehement because Don's lips were not given to the utterance of them. "What do yOu mean, sir? he demanded. "That you are by no means the only fellow who has set his heart on possessing the white Lily," said Captain Derwent, uttering the pet name with airy jocularity. But Don was in no humor for joking. "I think," he said, in a proud scorn, "it is somewhat unfair to bracket me with Prince Clement Sing. I am in deadly earnest about my desire to marry your daughter." "And so is he, my good fellow—so much in earnest, in fact, that he has my permission to pay his addresses to her—may be doing so this very minute, Indeed," broke off Captain Derwent lightly. For an instant Don glared at the 3peaker in speechless amazement. 'You <cannot mean it i >> was the with a long, white ostrich feather, which suited to perfection her clearcut profile and the thick coils of her fair hair. Her light riding gauntlets were of white deerskin, and the Prince's admiration of the hand so covered- was only too evident by the pressure he bestowed upon i t He himself wore white undress uniform and a sun hat, so like a mushroom that it would have been trying in the extreme to an ordinary wearer, but Beemed to set off his dark, goodlooking features with an air of distinction. Indeed^ Prince ClementJ3ing was an acquisition to society, both in personal appearance and high Intellectual standing; and Lillie would gladly have welcomed the diversion of his company but that she was consumed by the fear that his visit portended to matters concerning herself. And she was not long in discovering such to be the case. "You did not honor the course, today, Miss Derwent. I looked for you in vain," he said. "No. I was in a modd for a solitary ride," she answered. "I trust that does not mean my presence is inopportune, dear lady?" She smiled, blushing slightly. "By no means, Prince, for now my ride is over," was her polite reply/ "Then I may venture to invite myself indoors, I hope," he queried. 'I am not quite sure if you will find, Mrs. Franklin at home," she began. But Prince Clement Sing looked straight at her, with a glance from his black eyes that brought the color flooding to her face. "Your presence is all-suCicicnt," he said, bowing low, as he swerved his horse aside to allow her to pass through the gate before him. Arrived at the bungalow, he waved the attendant back and himself assisted her to alight, a condescension which embarrassed her all the more, as the prince took occasion to command that Mrs. Franklin should not be summoned for thfi next qnartpr nf an hmir, ?IB it hoarse exclamation which at last came from 'h'iS white *HpY.' "And wherefore?" queried the other, with aggravating coolness.'"Though an Indian, he is by no means a pariah. Truth is, he-has-Irish hVae blood irv him, and could hold his own with the best of us as far as classics go. Moreover he is as rich as Croesus, has immense influence at Conn; he worships the very ground she treads on, and would make her a princess." Again Don stopped short in his walk, and now his face showed pale . as death. " "I would kill him and you too before that should, ever happen!" he cried.' * • - \ • ^ - ' c ^ A P T $ i R i y .

Her hat wa* a large white 'ttoaw, was with Lillie herself he desired a private interview. Lillie passed into the drawing room, alarmed at what she instinctively knew was to be the subject of that interview; but fearful to give offense by refusing it. And when the prince joined her it was apparent he meant to waste no time in going straight to her mission. He had left his sword and belt in the vestibule and removed his gloves, and now he took his hostess' hand and led her to a seat, with a deferential ceremony. - "Ah, there is the evening gun!" she exclaimed, for the desperate sake of Eaying something to break the strain. "In ten minutes more it will be dark-" "Ah, yes; we have no enthralling twilight^As you have in England, Miss Derwent, he answered softly, and with a tone or regret meant to be covertly flattering to her nationality. "Well, no matter, ten minutes will suffice me to say what—ah, what I would have said to you long before today, but that I feared to be precipitate." "Then I am sure, prince, it is best left unsaid still," she answered, with great earnestness. "Surely you do not forbid me to speak?* He regarded her haughtily. "I should not presume to do that," she hastily rejoined. "I merefy entreat—" "What?" he asked, with cold displeasure, for she had stopped short, flushing. "I feel sure your highness means to be kind and friendly and flattering; but —but—" Again she hesitated. Prince Clement Sing looked down, frowning, and a dark flush swept his copper-tinted face. "But you do not esteem it an honor, I presume/that I should love you?" There was asperity in his voice. "Too great an honor," she averred. His frown and flush passed. He bent towards her and took her hand. "The honor is divided," he said gallantly. "If I give you the crown of a princess, you give me the fairest flower of English maidenhood—a flower that all the jewels in India could hot buy." She tried to withdraw her hand. "Your highness flatters me too mucb; but what you ask is impossible;'' she said, very low. He rose with an air of impatience. * "Impossible, you say, and to me?" She rose also. "I venture to hope to retain your friendship, prince, as I trust you will not reject mine?" ; "FrtendtfM" | * repeats* He droflpaj*«f Jiand almost and strode tf KHj window. At last hs ttsfced. "This la insufferable!" he said, and now there was passion in his voice. 'I have your father's permission to address you, and » demand a hearing!" " "But you have.already addressed me, and I have listened," she ,ssld, trembling, but outwardly calm. "I am overcome by your highness' condescension, but I could never be your wife. I do not love you. And besides'y-rsbe looked down, blushing, at the gold band encircling the third finger of her left hand—"and besides, since my father left Pindi, I have become engaged to Capt. Gordon of the Derbys." The instant her lover's name had left her lips she regretted i t How might not a baffled suitor like the prince wield his high authority to wreak vengeance on another aspirant to her hand? But Prince Clement Sing was regarding her with a look more akin to pity than anger in his piercing eyes. "And you would relinquish the splendor I lay at your feet for Capt. Gordon?" he said, in tones of incredulity. '^Because I love him," she answered bravely, looking up info Ills face, while a wave of crimson color made her own fair features for the moment even more bewitchlngly fair to look upon. Prince Clement Sing was having hard work with himself"to-ieep his admiration within bounds, and the sight cf that blush all but overcame his self-control. But his English education had done much to subdue his naturally fiery spirit, ana he knew success lay, not in passion, but perseverance. "But, Miss Derwent, much as I admire your constancy—and, of course, so long as>you consider yourself engaged to Capt. Gordon my lips are practically closed—still, I am driven to remind you love Is not everything. Position and rank are something. A lady is privileged to change her mind." He stopped, and she seized the opportunity of speaking. "I shall never change, Prince Clement. After my God, there Is nothing ranks higher with me than love." He took her hand, smiling a little to hide his chagrin. "Then my only hope must be that love will yet take pity and yield your heart to my prayers." "Again I repeat it is impossible; but .1 thank you for the great compliment you have paid me," she Bald. "I trust, Prince Clement, you will forgive and forget me." "No, I cannot promise to forget HE LIKES WeSTBRN CANADA. Dnhamel, JaA. 24, 1900. Dear Sir and Friend—We had a lucky trip, made good conn art ions and got to Wetasklwin Monday afternoon; stayed there all night, bought a pony and saddle for the boy and hired a three-seated rig for the balance of as, and got home to dinner next day; caught the boys cleaning up and getting ready to come after us. Wednesday the snow was all gone and we had bare ground and bright sunshine -for a month, and it has been pleasant weather ever since. The ground is frozen about two feet and about six inches of snow—just enough for good sleighing. We had one cold spell in December. The thermometer went down to 83 below zero, but we did not suffer with, the cold at all. We have worked every day all winter, are all well and feeling well; have built a log house 18x18, two log stables 16x18, and are now busy on a well. We have 10 cows, three other cattle and six head of horses. The boys send their best respects to Mr. Huchison, and say they will talk to him enough to pay for not writing when he gets up here; will write you again next spring and tell you all about the winter. We all unite in sending you and family our best wishes and respeeia and hope this will find you all well. Yours very respectfully, • (Signed) THOMAS TATE, Duhaael,Alberta, Canada. P.

"If I can ever be «of service to you, you may rely on me," he said. And bowing low again in response to Lillie's farewell, he passed from the room with steady steps and head erect. But hidden deep down in his breast was the gathering fury of a maelstrom. Within the drawing room, Lillie went to the window overlooking the terrace, and, screened by the bamboo and silk curtains, watched him mount and ride away. Her heart was beating wildly, not with exultation at the honor the prince had done her, and which, not so many years ago, would have filled her coquettish vanity with delight— no; but with strange feelings of unrest, with regret, and with presentiment of evil.

I ^wear glasses, as you know, but I found great trouble in keeping them on. They were continually following the laws of gravitation and falling to the floor. The trouble was that I did not have a bridge of size, and I spent money and time experimenting with different kinds of springs and claps and nose pieces, but all proved failures. Now, the other night I had an idea (that's all right, I am guilty of an idea once in a while) that if I would put some powdered rosin on my, nose that would hold 'em for a while, so I accordingly hunted up my friend, the violinist, and, getting some rosin, made a teat.

Senator Aldrich is still hopeful that some compromise may be reached. The plan ad' vocated by some senators is to have the pending bill amended by cutting the tariff feature entirely loose from the general government bill and attaching it to the Puerto Riean relief appropriation bill so amended as to permit all imports from the United States into Puerto Rico free of duty and to reduce the duty* on Puerto Rican goods imported into the United States below the .proposed 15, per cent of the Dingley still preserve the principle at the bot torn of th6 pending bill and would enable a test case to be made before the supreme court to determine the question as to the power of congress to inv . / TALMAGE'S SERMON.

Corinthians yii., 31. "They that use this world as not 'abusing it." My reason for preaching this discourse is that X have been kindly invited by two of the leading newspapers of this country to inspect and report on two of the popular plays of the day—to go some weeks ago to Chicago and see the drama "Quo Vadis" and criticise it with respect to its moral effect and t6 go to New York and see the drama "Ben-Hur" and write my opinion of it for public use. Instead of doing this I propose in a sermon to discuss what we shall do with the dramatic element which God has This, it i s contended, would | implantnri In truiTiy nt nnr natures, not in 10 or 100 or 1,000, but in the vast majority cf the human race. Some people speak of the drama as though it were something built up outside of ourselves by the Congreves and the PQ6e-dulics^n_commerce between^ the_ Goldsmiths and the Shakespeares and Uuited States and insular possessions. ' """ ~ ~ The likelihood that congress will hot at this session a^rree on an army reor- . ganlzation measure, on account of the conflicting interests involved and the powerful opposition manifested in various quarters to certain features of Secretary Root's comprehensive reform proposition, has alarmed the authorities over the possible failure of the plan to increase the artillery to a strength commensurate with the ordinary care and maintenance of the sea cojist defense works already established, and an effort is under way to separate the artillery clauses, which are-fcll wholly unobjectionable, from the other portions of the house and senate bills which are sure to lead to long and stubborn controversy. According * o Gen. Miles1 estimates over 18,000 men are urgently needed to keep the present batteries from rapid deterioration. The artillery strength today is only about 10,000 men. The following bills were passed by the house on the 12th: An urgent deficiencybill carrying $1,439,580; a bill to authorize a term of the U. S. court, —western district of Virginia, to be-held at Charlottesville, Va.; an important , bill to extend the placer mining laws of the United States with certain modifications to shore rights, beaeh workings, etc., in Alaska. The bill is designed to meet the conditions obtaining "at Cape Nome. Mr. Lacey (la.), chairman of the committee, said that the bill was endorsed by the Alaskan authorities and the miners generally. An amendment was adopted prohibiting corporations from locating claims. A bill xv&s also passed to attach the -eennty of Foaxd to the Fort \V'orth~dt=- vision of the northern district of Texas. The text of the Puerto Rican bill passed by the senate on the lGth is a* follows: Be it enacted, etc, that the sum of $2,095,455 being the amount of customs revenue received on importations by the United States from Puerto Rico since the evacuation of Puerto Rico by the Spanish forces on Oct. 18; 1898, to Jan. 1, 1O00, shall be placed at the disposal of the President, to l>e used for the government now existing, and which may hereafter be established in Puerto Rico and for public education, public works and other governmental and public purposes therein, and the said sum, or so much as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated for the purposes herein specified, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated., The gold standard financial bill was passed by the senate on the 13th.. and now only awaits the President's stgmrture'to make it_l£w. When this bill becomes a law the money question will be forced out of politics as a practical issue for at least six years, as the maintenance of the gold standard is made a matter of legislative dictation and is not at the discretion of anybody, and silver as a live issue is shelved for some time to come. Shortly after noon on the Hth President McKinley affixed his signature, and the bill became a law.

Not at all. The drama is an echo from the feeling which God has Implanted in our Immortal souls. It is seen first in the domestic circle among the children three or four years of aga.playing with their dolls and their eradles and their carts, some ten years after in the playhouses of wood, ten years after in parlor charades, after that i n ' t h e elaborate impersonations ia_the academies of music. Thespis and Aeschylus and Sophocles and Euripides merely dramatized what was in the- Greek heart. Terence and Plautus and Seneca merely dramatized what was in tlje Roman heart. Congreve and Parquhar merely dramatized what was in the English heart. Racine, Corneille arid Alfieri only dramatized what was in the French and Italian heart. Shakespeare only dramatized what was in the great world's heart. The dlthyrambic and classic drama, the sentimental drama, tjie romantic drama, were merely echoes of the human soul. I do not speak of the drama on the poetic shelf, nor of the drama in the playhouse, but I speak of the dramatic element in your soul and mine, We make men responsible for it, but not for the original implantation. God did that work; and I suppose he knew what he was about When he made us. We are nearly all moved by the spectacular. When on Thanksgiving day we decorate our churches.with the cotton and ths-iice and tire apples and the wheat and the rye and the oats, our gratitude to God-is stirrel When on Easter morning we see written in letters of flowers the inscription, "He Is'Risen," our emotions are stirred. Every parent likes to go to the school exhibition with its recitations and its dialogues and its droll costumes. The torchlight procession of the political campaign is merely the dramatization of principles involved. No intelligent man can look in any secular or religious direction without finding this dramatic" element revealing, unrolling, demonstrating itself. What shall we do with it? Shall we suppress it Ycu can as easily suppress its Creator. You may direct it, you may educate it, you may" purify it, you may harness it to multipotent usefulness, and that it is your duty to do. Just as we cultivate the taste for the beautiful and the sublime by bird haunted glen and roistering stream and cataracts let down in uproar over the mossed rocks, and the day lifting its banner of victory in the east, and then setting everything on fire as it retreats through the gates of the west,and the Austerlitz and Waterloo of an August thunderstorm blazing their batteries into a sultry afternoon, and the round, glittering tear of a world wet on the cheek of the night —as in this way we cultivate our taste for the beautiful and sublime, so in every lawful way we are to cultivate the dramatic element in our nature, Surgeon-Gen. Sternberg has received, ** every staccato passage in literature, by antitheais^atra synthesis, by every tragic^pas^age In human life. ow, I have to tell you not only that God has implanted this dramatic element in our natures, but I have to tell you in the Scriptures he cultivates it, he appeals. to it, he develops it. I do not care where you open the Bible, your eye will fall' upon a drama. Hers it is in the book of Judges, the fir tree, the vine, the olive tree, the bramble— they all make speeches. Then at the A cable message from Gen. Otis says^l close of the scene there is a coronation, mm*i*m~^^ poor could not affect ms as a little drama of accident and suffering I saw one slippery morning la the streets of Philadelphia Just ahead of me waa a lad, wretched in apparel, his limb amputated at the knee; 4 r o * the.pallor of the boy's check, the amputation not long before. He had a package of broken food under his arm—food he had begged, I suppose, at the doors. As he passed on over the slippery pavement, cautiously and carefully, I steadied him until hie crutch slipped and he fell. I helped him up as well as T could, gathered up the fragments Of the package as well as I could, put them -under one arm and the crutch under the other arm. But when I saw, the blood run down his pale cheek I burst into tears. Fifty essays about the sufferings pf the poor could not touch one like that little drama ot accidenfand suffering. Oh, we want in all our different departments of usefulness more -of the dramatic element and less of tlfe didactic. The tendency, in this day is to drone religion, to whine religion, to cant religion, to moan religion, to croak religion, to sepulcharize religion, when we ought to present it in anlnated and sptiulaeirl and the bramble is proclaimed king; That is a- political drama. Here it 1s in the book of Job: Enter Ellphaz, Bildad, Zophar, Elihu and Job. The opening act of the drama, all dark* ness; the closing act of the drama, aii sunshine. Magnificent- drama is the book of Job! Fifty essays about the sorrows of the I Let me say to all young ministers of the gospel: If you have this dramatic element in your nature, use it for God and heaven. If, you will go home and look over the history of the "church," your will find that those menr have brought more souls to Christ who have been dramatic. Rowland Hill, dramatic; Thomas Chalmers, dramatic; Thomas Guthrie, dramatic; John Knox, dramatic; Robert Mc- Cheyne, dramatic; Christmas Evans, dramatic; George Whitefleld, dramatic; Robert Hall, dramatic; Robert South, dramatic; Bourdalou, dramatic; Fenelon, dramatic; John iMason, dramatic. When you get into the ministry, if you attempt to cultivate that element and try to wield it for God, you will meet with mighty rebuff and caricature, and ecclesiastical counsel will take your case in charge, and they will try to put you down. But the God who starts you will help you through, and great will be the eternal rewards for the assiduous and the plucky. What we want, ministers and laymen, is to get our sermons and our exhortations and our sprayers out of the old rut. The old hackneyed religious phrases that come snoring down through the centuries will never arrest the masses. What we want today, you in ycoir sphere, and I in my sphere, is to freBhen up. People do not want in their sermons the sham flowers bought at the millinery shop, but the japonicas wet with the morning dew; not the heavy bones of extinct megatherium of past ages, but the living reindeer caught last August at the edge of Schroon lake. We want to drive out the drowsy, and the prosaic, and the tedious, and the humdrum, and Introduce the brightness and the vivacity, and the holy sarcasm, and the sanctlflpri wit, and the epigrammatic power^ and the blood red earnestness, ana the fire of religious zeal, and I do not know of any way of doing it as well as through'the dramatic. But now let us turn to the drama as an amusement and entertainment. Rev. Dr. Bellows of New York, many years ago, in a very brilliant but much criticised sermon, took the position that the theater might be renovated and made auxiliary to the church. Many Christian people are of the same opinion. I do not agree with them. I have no idea that success is in that direction. What I have said heretofore 6n this subject, as far as'l remember, is my sentiment now. But today I take a step in. advance of my former theory. Christianity is going to take full possession of this world and control its-maxims, its laws,, its literature, its science and its amusements. Shut out from the realm of Christianity anything and you give it up to sin aud death. If Christianity is mighty enough to manage everything but the amusements of the world, then it Is a very defective Christianity. Is it capable of keeping account of the fears-of the world and incompetent to make record of its smiles? Is it good to follow the funeral, but dumb at the world's play? Can It control all the other elements of our nature but the dramatic element? My Idea of Christianity is that it can and will conquer everything. In the good time coming, which the world calls the golden age and the poet the elysian age and the Christian the millennium, we have^ positive announcement that the amusements of the world are to be under Christian sway. "Holiness shall be upon the. bells of the horses," says one prophet. So, yon see, it will control even the sleigh rides. "The city shall be full of boys and jflrls playing in the streets thereof,'! says another prophet. So, you see, it Is to control the hoop rolling and the kite flying and'the ball playing.. Now, what we want is to hasten :that time, How-will it be done? By the church going over to the theater? It will not go. By the theater coming to the church? It will, hot come. What we' want is a reformed' amusement association _ in every c t t y and town of the United States. Once an-, nounced and explained and illustrated. a - the Christian and philanthropic capitalist will come forward to establish it, and there will be public spirited men everywhere who will do this work for the dramatic element of our natures. We need a new institution to meet and recognise and develop and defend the dramatic element of our nature. / It needs to be distinct from everything that is or .has been. I would have this reformed amusement having in charge this new institution of the spectacular take possession of some hall or academy. It might take a smaller building at the start, but it would soon need the largoct hall, and even that would not hold the people; for he who opens before the dramatic element in human nature an opportunity of gratification without compromise and without danger does the mightiest thing of this century, and the tides of such an institution would rise as the Atlantic rises at Liverpool docks. * * * I would go to such an institution, such a spectacular. I should go once a week the rest of my life and take my family with merand the majority -of the famllioo of the earth would go to such an institution. I expect the time will come when I can, withqut bringing upon myself criticism, without being an -inconsistent Christian, when I, a minister of the good old Presbyterian church,-a m be able to go to some new institution like this, the spectacular, and see "Hamlet", and "King Lear" and the Merchant of Venice," and the "Hunchback" and "Joshua Whitcomb." Meanwhile many of us will have this dramatic element unmet and unregaled. For my love of pictures I can go to the art gallery, for my love of music I can go to the concert, for my love of literature I can go to the lyceum lecture, but for this dramatic element In my nature, as strong as any qther passion of the soul, there is nothing but injunction and prohibition. Until, sirs, you can establish a spectacular or a similar institution, with as much purity and with as much entertainment as this one of which I speak—until you can establish some such institution you may thunder away against evil amusements until the last minute of the last hour of the last day of the world's existence, and without avail. The amusements of life are beautiful and they are valuable, but they cannot pay you for the loss of your aoul. I could not tell your character*, I could not tell your prospects for this world or the next by the particular church you attend, but if you will tell me where you were last night, and where you were the night before and where you have been the nights of the last month, I think I can guess where you will spend eternity. As to the drama of your life and mine, it will soon end. There will be no encore to bring us back. At the beginning of that drama of life stood a cradle, at the end of it will stand a grave. The first act, welcome. The last act, farewell. The Intermediate acts, banquet and battle, processions bridal and funeral, songs and tears, laughter and groans. It "was not original with Shakespeare when he said, "All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players." He got it from S t Paul, who fifteen centuries before that had written, "We are made a spectacle unto the world and to angels and to men." A spectacle In a coliseum fighting with wild beasts In* an amphitheater, the galleries full, looking down. Here we destroy a lion. Here w« grapple with a. gladiator. When we fall, devils shout. When we rise, angels sing. A spectacle before gallery above gallery,, gallery above gallery. Gallery of our departed kindred, looking down to see if we are faithful and worthy Of our Christian ancestry, hoping for our victory, wanting to throw us a garland, glorified children and parents, with cheer and cheer urging us on. Gallery of the martyrs looking down— the Polycarps and the Rldleys and the McKails and the Theban legion and the Scotch Covenanters and' they of the Brussels market place land of Piedmont— crying down from the galleries. "God gave us the victory, and he will give It you." Gallery of angels looktog down—cherubic, seraphic, archangelic— clapping their wings at every advantage we gain. Gallery of the King from which there waves a scarred hand and from which there comes a sympathetic voice saying, "Be tliou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." Oh, the spectacle in which you and I are the actors! Oh, the piled up galleries looking down! Scene: The last day. Stage: The rocking earth. Enter: Dukes, lords, kings, beggars, clowns. No sword. No tinsel. No crown. For footlights: The kindling flames of a world. For orchestra: The trumpets that wake the dead. For applause: The clapping floods of the sea. For curtain: The heavens rolled together as a scroll. Fo/ tragedy: "The Doom of the Profligate.' For the last scene of the fifth act: The Tramp of nations across the stage, some to the right, others to the left. Then the bell of the Jast thunder will ring, .and the curtain vrUi dropJ . .^ ...

Criticise the Mormons as you wllL, they-must be cj^edttfd^itltt^thjB, wonderful^ system of irrigation by which the wastes of U e ws#taj^ spates have been redeemed. Qp t July 24, 1847, Brigham Young and j ^ little band of pioneers began the cojnjtructipn of the first irrigation canal ever built in the United States. Irrigation made of CftaVs desert wilderness the garden spot of America. It is doing as much for Idaho, where the mountains are so located that ample valleys, and plains- of millions of acres, may be easily and economically watered. On the Nile, in Italy, Spain and elsewhere in Europe, irrigation has prevailed for centuries. Indeed, 60 per cent of the world's breadstuffs and cereals are grown by irrigation. Where "the vine-clad hills arid citron groves" around Vesuvius in sunny Italy are foun/J, a great population has T>een iustainea ior many ' thousand years—and the land has never worn out—its wotfderful vitality being due? to underlying strata of lava which by some curious chemistry renders the soil immortal. Idaho's wonderfully productive soil covers lava strata deposited by volcanoes longlago extinct. The rejuvenation of the land results not alone from this lava, but from rich fertilizers annually brought to it by the irrlgatloa waters. It is almost an aphorism that tend'is good where sage brush grov3. Marvelous must therefore be^ the fertility of Idaho, for everywhere the green of the sage is seen. Wheat.corn, oats, barley, alfalfa, timothy, rye, flax, tobacco, broom corn, sorghum, sweet and Irish potatoes, beets, cabbages, hops, and fruits, such as prunes, apples, pears, plums, peaches, cherries, apricots, nectarines, grapes and all of the small bush products, grow profusely. Particularly do the apple, pear and prune attain to perfection in size and flavor. Alex. McPherson of Boise City realized $600 per acre from apples. Geo. L. Hall of Mountain Home'sold $800 worth of peaches from one acre. T. J. Phifer of Boise City realized $91)0 from two acres of Italian prunes. Instances like these can be multiplied ad Infinitum. But Idaho does not depend entirely upon agriculture. Its mountains are filled with mining camps which furnish a home market for far more agricultural products than the stato is now able to produce. . Snake River Valley contains about 3,600,000 acres and some of the finest pastoral scenes there presented are in the midst of gold placer mining operations. Many farmers there realize handsomely for work during spare hours—washing shining powdered gold from the river's bed. In a state having so many productive portions to select from it Is hard to suggest particular locations, but settlers will find room for any number of new homes. . Different state and.private agencies are sending out printed information about Idaho. Perhaps the,most conservatively prepared matter is that now emanating from the general passenger agent of the Oregon Short Line at Salt Lake City, Utah. This railroad permeates almost . every agricultural region in the^state, and stands ready to furnish to horaeseekers' every courtesy1, \pt the power -of its officers. At the present rate Idaho will eoon be as/thickly populated &s Utah. It iain.the^samalKtttu^jaarF^aace, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain and It%ly, and its climate Is incomparable. Vast timber areas furnish lumber of excellent quality. Cyclones and destructive storms never occur. The winters are short and people-, work out doors all the year.

Mndleen S t , A l l CHICAOO.IU. TRAMVAAL WAH I T E M S . Lord Salisbury has at last adopted the slogan < at • Mr. Chamberlain, "the Boer republics must go." His ascendancy in the British government is complete. Even Mr. Chamberlain regards him as tha final authority in British foreign policy, and would not attempt to push even a pet doforine to extremes against the premier's objections. Lord Salisbury enjoys the unchallenged confience of the crown, the government, parliament and the nation. The an* swer he gave to the Bloemfontein note asking a definition >of the conditions upon wnich peace could be secured expressed' his unalterable conviction of the necessities of the case. The mbunted force from Eimberley proceeding to the relief of Mafeking has arrived at Warren ton. As the force neared Windsorton the Boers evacuated the town, blowing up the bridges. It is reported that the rebels whoN refused to accompany the Transvaalers when the latter vacated Taungs and Vryburg are preparing to trek into Damara- ^land on the approach of the British, 'but that the Hottentot chiefs are getting ready to bar their escape. Another plot to free the Boer: prisoners at Simonstown was discovered on the 14th. The remarkable ^quantities of watermelons received "by the prisoners aroused comment and an investigation discovered that compromising letters_ were contained in the melons, the writers planning the escape of the captives. The transports bearing the bulk of the prisoners sailed for St. Helena shortly after the plot was made known to the British officials. The British troops under Lord Methuen have returned to Kimberley from the occupation of Bushof, Orange Free State. Guns and 70,000 rounds of ammunition were seized and a strong garrison was left to guard the town. Six Boers were arrested there on charges of treason. Nearly all the residents were wearing mourning, as the Bushof commando lost 200 men at the battle of Belmont. Events have occurred recently which induce some to predict that the war will last only so long as i t takes to march to Pretoria. The educated Boers, even the Transvaalers, are ready to accept the inevitable. A corps of 2,000 women has ,been formed at Pretoria. It is called the Amazon Corps. All the members are uniformed in kilts and are armed. A great popular demonstration took place at Cape Town on receipt of the news that Bloemfontein had been occupied by the British. All the church bells were rung and A procession headed by the union jack, went to the government house, where Sir Alfred Milner made his acknowledgments. A dispatch from Bloemfontein, dated March 10< says: "We are getting l'ifles surrendered faster than a factory could turn them out. It is quite certain that if a British official can reach the northern laagers with Lord Robert's proclamation, the whole Boer population will declare for peace. Gen.

It is learned from a reliable source that President Kruger, through the consuls at Pretoria, has appealed for the intervention of the great powers in the Transvaal war, and has also appealed to ^he governments of Belgium, Holland and Switzerland. The chief of the intelligence department, Molengraaf, announces that the Boer losses prior to the relief of Kimberly and Lady smith were: Killed, 077; wounded, 2,129. Accidents, sickness and other disabling causes, he asserts, bring the total to 4,351. A dispatch from Lord Roberts dated Venters Vlei, March 13, says: Gen. French now occupies two hills close to the railway station at Bloemfontein. A brother of President Steyn has been made a prisoner. The British casualties during the engagement on the 10th were: Killed or missing, 60 or 70; wounded, 321. T H E M A R K E T S . LIVK STOCK. New York— Cattle Sheep Lamb* Besagradei.

How to Obtain it Wltnont FaO. When you don't sleep well, look out for yourself. Nothing breaks down a person so quickly as loss of sleep, that boon of mankind which gives the exhausted system rest for repairs. No time for repairs means destruction of the machinery. It is so with the human body. Tou are nervous, have a load on your chest, are troubled with unaccountable anxiety and forebodings of evil, and roll and toss all night. Towards morning" you have fitful naps from sheer exhaustion, awake in a cold sweat, unrefreshed, pallid, trembling, with a bad taste In your mouth and a feeling of great weakness. It's your stomach, your liver, your, bow- j els. ! Keep your digestives organs all on the move properly and your sleep will be rest* ful and refreshing and all repairs will be attended to. The way to do It is to use a mild, positive, harmless, vegetable laxative and liver stimulant—Cascarets Candy Cathartic. They make the liver lively, prevent sour stomach, purify the blood, regulate the bowels perfectly, make all things right aa they should be. Go buy and try Cascarets to-day. It's what they do, not what we say they'll do, that will please you. All druggists, 10c, 28c, or 60c, or mailed for price. Send for booklet and free sample.

Selling as we do MORE CARPETS THAN ALL THE RE§T OF JACKSON COMBINED, we are in position to give the very best values of *ny house in the trade. We ask no person to take our say on this, all we ask is a comparison of values. A Carpet is an important thing—it lastsror will last, if you buy it right, many years. It is either a thing of beauty and a pleasure every day of your life, or else it is a 4'sore spot'' continually. A ba(J purchase in a horse can be swapped 'off; a pair of shoes, a suit of clothes, a #ress or a hat can be laid aside; but a Carpet turnes its face up to you 365 day& a yeart and you can't cover it up or swap it off—so buy it carefully, make no purchases until you have carefully looked through every other stock in Jackson and then look carefully through, this stock—this is justice to youmejfc' We ask you to give us no better show/than you give to every other store.

I - Ms rah Trial k U OtmneDecd. T h e trial of Gea. Arthur F. Marsh, ot Allegan, charged w i t h being an acceeso^ y w i t h Oen. White in the embezzlement of*'foods from the' state, was commencdat Lansing on the 30th and received a good start. A Jury was ac- •cepted by both aides at 3:30 o'clock, after 22 out of * panel <xi 39 had been examined, Previous to this the attorn e y s for1 the defendant made several motions asking for a continuance of the case, Jbnt Judge Weist in each case turned tnem down. Exceptions were taken. After a legal tilt, the cases of Marsh and White were separated, the jury was sworn and Prosecutor Arthur Tuttle made his opening address. He outlined to the jury what the prosecution expects to prove. His opening reviewed the entire military deal. Geo. Whit* Heard From. The mystery concerning the whereabouts of Gen. W. L. White, the fugitive quartermaster-general of the —Michigan National Guard, was solved o n the morning of the 20th, when an intimate friend of the missing man received a letter from him, written in Cape Town, Cape Colony, South Africa, and dated February 19. When White left Grand Rapids he went to Chicago, and from there he Went to New Orleans. Here he learned the British government were shipping mules to South Africa and after a talk with the agents he hired out as foreman of one •of the ships about to sail. During the long voyage of 36 days W h i t e had plenty of time to reflect, and says he is now sorry he did not remain in Michigan and fight it out. He says he is innocent of any wrongdoing; that he wants to see the state squared up, and w h a t money he has and can make will jgo to that end. Gov. Piagree Quizzed. The feature of the second day of the trial o f Gen. A. F. Marsh at Lansing was the introduction of an order issued by Gov. Pingree, autbrizrag Quarterjnaster- Generai W. L. White to advertise for bids to equip the national .guard. The governor, on the witness stand, admitted the genuineness of the order, but remembered but few of the facts snrroumdhig- the same, except that the national yuarri was badly in need of equipment. The efforts of the defense were directed to show t h a t Gen. Marsh implicitly trusted Gen. White and accepted his word regarding military board affairs without question. The letters of Gen. Marsh and Col. Sutton, asking Attorney-General Oren for an opinion as to the proper way to dispose of the surplus military stores purchased uadee the Spaaish war <und .act, were introduced a s evidence. TlilTd P a y , Owing to the necessity of establishi n g the guilt of Gen. White as a neces- «3ry adjunct to the Marsh t»rial, rather «low progress was made by the prose- <. cution on the 83d, as much of the time was taken up with placing in evidence and reading to the jury the correspondence that passed between the quartermaster- general's office and the U ender- «on-Ames Co., in connection with the_ 4fake sale to the Illinois Supply Co., •and the subsequent buying of the same goods from the Henderson-Ames Co. Col. Smith was t h e only witness on the .-stand, and he gave some interesting testimony regarding the methods that Avere employed i n willing and buying t h e goods, and the somewhat intricate details that were worked out in order tto cover up the fraud. . Fourth p § x t „ . , „ . . . It is expected that the next sensation in the military fraud -case j v i l l be the arrest of Samuel N. Bickerstaff, the principal witness^ fdfr t h e prosecution in the trial of Gen. Marsh. For some time it has been ruindred that J£ Bickerstaff swore that he paid any of the alleged conspirators any money either in Grand Rapids or'Detroit as profits'of the allege*! fraudulent deal, the defense would* have him arrested on a criminal charge, based on that transaction. • This testimouy was given by Bickerstaff on the 33d, and it • Is stated o n absolutely reliable authority that Marsh himself Btated that he would have to spend a certain day in Detroit in order to'assist in carrying out this plan. He furthermore stated, according to this authority, that both Gov, Pingree and Prosecuting Attorney Frazer of Wayne county had been consulted concerning the matter. By placing Bickerstaff under arrest the defense evidentally intends to break the force of his evidence as much as possible. Echoea of th« Marsh TrUl. The most important witness on the second day of the trial w a s Adjt,-Gen. Case, president of the military board. Notwithstanding the fact that aH meet' Trigs of the board were supposed to be called by him, he testified that it was not until he appeared before the grand jury the past winter that he learned that a special ^meeting w a s held in Grand Rapids, July 17 last, at which the resolution authorizing the sale of the military goods was adopted. He also swore that it was not until the last Friday in^August that heitTarnedof the sale of the goods, and then White mentioned the sale in the course of a conversation. He further stated that had he attended the meeting he never should have voted to sell the goods for the ridiculously low price of $10,500. He admitted, when quizzed by the attorney for the defense, that he had im- Slicit confidence in White's word, and new of no reason why he should not have had. Col. Sutton is confident he will be able to account for all of his deposits and withdrawals of money mentioned by Prosecutor Tuttle on the first day of the trial. He says he will account for the 85,800 deposit by the testimony of a dozen of the best business men of Detroit, and that, although the 81,350 was a confidential fund, it" will also be accounted for satisfactorily. His wife's deposits, he says, will be accounted for fully !n the ordinary course of business. The colonel does not understand why the proscutor does not account for the disposition of the third installment of of $4,000, which he claims Bickerstaff paid White the day previous to the de- A, T ; ~~ Fourth Dmy. ' " "; B. N. Bickerstaff, of the Henderson- Ames Co., Kalamazoo, and Col. H. A. &mith, assistant quartermaster-general, were the star witnesses for the prosecution in t h e Marsh trial on the iourth day. Smith, testified regarding t h e $69» wedding present he received from Marsh, Sutton and White, and declared that he w a s repeatedly warned t o keep silent before the grand jury^- l i e materiaUy strengthened the prose- •cutlon's case. To the surprise of all, t h e defense decided not to cross-exami n e him. Bickerstaff related in detail h i s connection and that of his firm with the alleged fradnlent deal; how White haggled over the profits to go to 3iis firm; h o w this point was finally •settled; how the goods were shipped to Chicago and back to Kalamazoo, retagged and s e a t to Lansing; how he -carried t h e state's cash to Grand flapida, delivering- i t to Gen., White, w h o gave Gen. Marsh a bunch of bills. •The various meeting* of the alleged ^conspirators and their connection with •sthe I'deal," were related. Bickerstaff *nay not be cross-examined. — " • ~ — ~ - « . T h e annual report made by Gen. W h i t e to GOT, Pingree following the •close of the war, which report, contained a detailed .statement of the jroods •on 'hattd, was offered ,4a evidence..by _4.be proseewtlon <Urinf ^»c second ."day's preoeading. T h e total *ala*< being . ^ r e * a ^ f M , 4 M * l < : U*. , parture of the party to attend the Dewey celebration. It is altogether probable that this will be done to a large extent before the case is concluded, at least to the satisfaction of the prosecution. By Bickerstaff's testimony on the 23d it was shown that the military goods were re-shipped from Chicago to Kalamazoo in the same four cars in which they left Lansing, the seals not even having been broken. Here the goods were unpacked and classified. Some of them had originally been sold to the state by the Henderson-Ames Co. and bore that company's tags and labels. For this reason Bickerstaff suggested to White the advisability of having the Henderson-Ames Co.'s tags put on all the goods, and buttons bearing their stamp substituted for those bearing stamps of other makers.

Kruger and Mr. Steyn will meet a t Kroonstadt i n the Orange Free State, o n April 4, to discuss the future program* The feelingbet ween the TransvaaL and the Free State is very bitter. It is reported from Pretoria that a* scheme has been arranged for the amalgamation of the Transvaal and t h e Free State. Kruger will become pres», ident of the federated states, and Steyn commandant-general of the Boer army. The flag will be the same as that of the Transvaal, with an additional Orange color. Although this story is not confirmed, it is not improbable. The German'press at Berlin, in com-' menting upon the war situation in the' Transvaal, says: It would be a jastU liable act for the Boers to blow up thej mines, since it would prevent the authors of the war, which the w h o l e world has declared criminals, from securing the rewards of victory. 1 A dispatch from Bloemfoutein says; The late allies are now bitter foes. So strong is the popular feeling here that,' were it desirable, a large body of Free) Staters would take the field and fight/ immediately against the Transvaalers. The total British losses to date, Mar.1 35, exclusive of the invalids sent home,] are 10,418 in killed, wounded and missing. The Boers blew up the railroad bridge which crossed the Modder river,', 14 miles north of Bloemf ontein, on the' 19th.. .

The czar has successfully forcedc**/. the hand of the porte for the immed- j iate granting of the railway conces- \ sions in Asia Minor. Authoritative' dispatches from Constantinople announce that the Turkish government has yielded to St. Petersburg in all the essential conditions of the Russian pro- ^ posal. In accepting Russia's demand for exclusive railway concessions in Asia Minor, the sultan has virtually placed that part of "his empire in the same category with Manchuria, where the Chinese have turned over all railway franchises to the czar. This step was not taken by the porte until the Russian government had thrown off < the mask and revealed itself ready to resort to arms if necessary to attain its objects. Well informed circles at Constantinople learned about a* fortnight ago that the Russian war office and ministry of marine had issued joint orders looking to a general mobilization of the land and sea forces, should certain contingencies arise. • 200,000 Fire at Flint. The city of Flint suffered the severest blow in its history on the night of the 20th. About 10 o'clock the Flint Wagon Works was discovered on fire, and despite the heroic efforts of the fire department, it had secured such a headway that }t was soon seen, that the whole plant must certainly, be destroyed, and such proved to be- t h e case, as not one timber was saved. How the fl re origi natjed is yetfujjkn,own. It is uhderstoooTthat the loss, will ex; ceed $200,000, w i t h an insurance of $120,000. The wagon works plant fe not crippled entirely by the- ftarev t h e concern having lost only one- building in which wagons and machinery were manufactured. The damaged part will be rebuilt at once and the men w h o were thrown out of work wiB find employment in some other department. About one-third of the- 500 asen employed were affected by the fire.

"And you yourself were the o n l y o n e near when he died?" s h e said, t h r o u g h the tears w h i c h were n o w s t r e a m i n g silently down her pallid, l o v e l y face.

After the unfortunate war in South 'Africa is over, a scientific problem of. much interest will be presented to the engineers of the Transvaal gold mines.

HOME LIFE THE SUBJECT LAST SUNDAY* The DntlM of Putpti i« Thtir ChUaV reu — "A W M Boa ******* • «>•* r»th«r; bat a weeUafcj;? S o * & . tike Haariaaw of Bis atwtaa^1*'^ v -: 'J [Copyright, 1900, by Louli Klopach.] In this graphic waya Solomon sets forth the Idea that the good or evil behavior of children blesses or blights the parental heart. I know there are persons who seem to have no especial Interest in the welfare* of their children. The father says: "My tyy must take the risks I took invito. If he turns out well, all right; if he turns out ill, he will have to bear the* consequences. He has the same chance that I* had. He must take care of himself.*' A shepherd might just as well.thrust a lamb into a den of lions and say, "Lktle lamb, take care of yourself." Nearly all the brute creation are kind enough to look after their young. I was going through the woods, and heard a shrill cry in a nest. I climbed trp to the bird's nest, and I found that The meridian of Greenwich is generally accepted as the starting-line from •which to reckon longitude and time all over the earth. But objections are, from time to time raised against the universal adoption of the Greenwich meridian for such purposes. Recently Italian savants have emphasized these objections by pointing out that on tho Tfietidian of Greenwich clouds and bad .weather are frequent, interfering with 'astronomical observations, They suggest that the civilized world should agree to adopt the meridian of Jerusalem, as a common reference line, ,bet^ nsB^there;T5e skies are clearer, and ^ th,e possibility of making Palestine neutral territory would eliminate political objections. Some of the problems of war which seem new are in reality eld. For example, the South African Boers have been most successful in concealing the positions of their guns until the Brit-'' ish.battalions were exposed.to destructive fire^ They have adopted a device fnr* ri»ffrnfihrp r>ppratron:g in the field, starve. But that is a very rare occurrence. Generally a bird will pick your eyes out rather than surrender her young to your keeping or your touch. A lion will rend you if you come too near the- w-h*lps;- even- the barnyard fowl, with its clumsy foot and heavy wing, will come at you if you approach its young too nearly, and God certainly intended to" have fathers and mothers as kind as the brutes. Christ comes through all our household today, and he says: "You take care of the bodies of your children and the minds of your children. What are you doing for their immortal souls?" I read of a ship that foundered. A.lifeboat was launched. Many of the passengers were in the water. A mother with one hand beating the waves and the other hand holding her little child out toward, the lifeboat cried out, "Save my child!" And that impassioned cry is the one that finds an echo in every parental heart in thi3 land today. "Save my child!" That man out there says: "I have fought my own way through life. I have got along tolerably well. The wortd has buffeted me, and I have had many & hard struggle. It doesn't make much difference what happens to me, but save my child." You see, I have a subject of stupendous Import, and I am going, as God may which is the chief motive of all the great coast and frontier fortifications. 0 Visiters at Halifax, Dover or Gibraltar are only allowed to see the parade grounds and barrack3. The secrets of the fortresses are not disclosed. There are guns of long range, which are concealed by terraces of grass or by obstructions of various kindB, In time of war these hidden guns' would suddenly be brought to bear upon an enemy's fleet. A bridge in the form of an aerial fprry has just hAgn opener] at Rouen on the river Seine. In order to avoid Interference with shipping, it was determined to place no structure in the stream, or near its surface. Instead of a bridge lu any-of the ordinary forms, a horizontal flooring, sustained by steel towers and suspension cables, was stretched across the river at an elevation of 167 feet. On this flooring, run electrically driven rollers, from which is suspended, by means of steel ropes, a car which moves at the level of ,the wharves on the river banks. The car is thirty-six feet wide and forty- two feet long, and is furnished, like a ferry boat, with accommodations for carriages and foot passengers. -—The ropes that carry the hanging car are Interlaced diagonally in such a manner that the support is rigid, and a swinging motion is avoided. help me, to show the .cause of parental solicitude and then the alleviations of .thatsollpitude,.... The first cause of parental solicitude, A feature of parliamentary practice peculiar to this country, of which little is heard in comparison with its importance, is the conference committee. A bill before congress seldom passes the house and the senate in the same form; freqently the differences are important, and unless one house will accept as whole the doings of the other, which rarely happens, the ^measure must "go to conference," as the phrase 5*. Tirree members are appointed from each house, two of, the majority party and one of. the minority/ usually the members who h&ve had most- -to do with the passage of the bill, the details , of which are still in dispute. When a conference committee begfns its sessions to adjust differences upon a party measure, only the representatives of the majority party, which would now mean the four Republicans, ordinarily attend; as soon as they reach an agreement, the two Democrats are caHed in for formal assent, since they nave no real power of resistance. The representatives of each house are expected to strive for the bill as it passed tne body of which, they are member*, even though they personally may have favored the form in which it passed1 ttavotfca? house. that boy. Just see how he has turned out" Ah, my friend, you have stuffed that boy with religion. You had no sympathy with innocent hilarities. You had no common sense. A man at midlife said to me: "I haven't much desire for religion, My father was as good a man as ever lived, but he jammed religion down my throat when I was a boy until I got disgusted with it, and I haven't wanted any of it since." That father erred on one side. Then the discipline is an entire failure in many households because the father pulls one way and the niother pulls the other way. The father says, "My son. I told you if I ever found you guilty of falsehood again I would chastise you, and I am going to keep my promise. The mother says: "Don't. Let him off this time." A father says: "I have seen so many that make mistake by too great severity in the rearing of their children. Now, I will let my boy do as he pleases. He shall have full swing. Here, my son, are tickets to the theater and opera. If you want to play cards, do self you don't want to play cards, you need not play them. Go when you want and come back when you want to. Have a good time. Go It!" Give a boy plenty of money and ask him not what he does with it, and you pay his way straight to perdition. But after awhile the lad thinks he ought to have a still larger supply. He has been treated, and he must treat. He must have wine suppers. There are larger and larger expenses. -•-'•-- — Remit of Lax Discipline. After awhile one day a messenger from the bank over the way calls in, and says to the father of the household of which I am speaking: "The Officers of the bank would like to have you step over a minute." The father steps over, and a bank officer says, "Is that your check?" "No," he says, "that Is not my check. I never make an 'H' in that way. I never put a curl to the 'Y' in that way. That is not my writing; that "is not my signature; that is a counterfeit. Send for the police." "Stop," says the bank officer, "your son wrote that." Now the father and mother are waiting for the son to come home at night. It is 12 o'clock,it is half-past 12 o'clock, it is 1 o'clock. The son comes through the hallway. The father says: ''My son, what does all this mean? I gave you every opportunity. I gave you all the money yon wanted," and here in my old days I find that you have become a spendthrift, a libertine and a sot." The son says: "Now, father, what is the use of your-talking that way? You told me to go it, and I just took your suggestion." And'so to strike the medium between severity and too great leniency, to strike the happy medium bo- I think, arises from the imperftfcliuu of parents on their own part. We all somehow want our children to avoid our faults. We hope that if we have any excellences they will copy them, but the probability is they will copy our faults and omit our excellences. Children are very apt to be. echoes of the parental life. Some ^oasv meets a lad In tfhe back street, finds him smoking and says: "Why, I am astonished at you. What would your father say if he knew this? Where did you get that cigar?" "Oh, I picked it up on the street?" "What would your father say and your mother say if they knew this?" "Oh," he replies, "that's nothing. My father smokes." There is not one of us today who would like to have our children copy all our example. And that is the cause of solicitude on the part of all of us. We have so many faults we do not want them copied and stereotyped in the lives and characters of those who come after us. Tho Mtitler of Discipline. Then solicitude arises from our conscious insufficiency and unwisdom of discipline. Out of 20 parents there may be one parent who understands how thoroughly and skillfully to discipline; perhaps not more than one out of 20. We, nearly all of us, err on one side or on the other. Here Is n father who says: "I am going to bring up my children right. My sons shall know nothing but religion, shall see nothing but religion and hear nothing but religion." They are routed out at 6 o'clock in the rirorning to recite the Ten Commandments. They are wakened up from the sofa on Sunday night to recite the Westminster catechism. Their bedroom walls are covered with religious pictures and quotations of Scripture, and when the boy looks for the day of the month he looks for it in a religious almanac. I* a-minister comes co laevhouse, he is requested So take tile boy aside and tell him what a great sinner he is. It is religion morning, loon and night. Time passes on, and the parents arewaiting for the return of the son at light It is 9 o'clock, It is 10 o'clock, .t is 11 o'clock, it is 12 o'clock, it is aalf-past 12 o'clock. Then they hear i rattling of the night key, and George ;omes in and hastens up stairs lest he >e accosted. His father says, "George, where have you been?" He says, "I lave been out.". Yes, he has been out, ind he has been down, and he has rtarted on the broad road to ruin for .his life and ruin for the life to come, md the lathe* say* ter Mrr-wHir- "Mother, the Ten Commandments are i failure. No use of Westminster catejalstt? I'haVe doae « v i w y beet for tf*?$ ?• -tween the two and to train our children for God and for heaven is the arrxiety of every intelligent parent. Another great solicitude is in the fact that so early is developed childish sinfulness. Morning glories put out their bloom in the early part of the dayfbut as the hotrsun comes" on they close up. While there are other howers that blaze their beauty along the Amazon for a week at a time without closing, yet the morning glory does its work as certainly as Victoria regia, so there a-re some chilldren that just put forth their bloom, and they close, and they are gone. There is something supernatural about them while they tarry, and there is an ethereal appearance about them. There is a Wonderful depth to their eye, and they are gone. Threy ale too delicate a plant for this world. The Heavenly Gardener zees them, and he takes them in. But for the most part the children that live sometimes get cross and pick up bad words in the street or are disposed to quarrel with brother or sister and show that they are wicked* i You see them in the Sabbath school class. They are so sunshiny and bright you would think they were always so, but the mother looking over at them remembera what an awful time she had to get them ready. Time passes on. They get considerably older, and the son comes in from the street from a pugilistic encounter, bearing on his appearance the parks of defeat, or the daughter practices some little deception in the household. The mother says: "I can't always be scolding and fretting and finding fault, but this must be stopped." So in many a household, there is the sign of sin, the sign of the truthfulness of what the Bible says when it declares: "They,go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.",, Fleklnr at liojn. Some go to work and try to correct all this, and the boy is picked at and picked at and picked at. That always is ruinous. There Is more help In one good thunderstorm than in five days of cold drizzle. Better the old-fashioned style of chastisement if that be necessary than the fretting and the scolding which, have destroyed so many. There Is also a cause of great solicitude sometimes because ouV young peo-, pie are surrounded by so many temptations. A, castle may not be taken by a straightforward siege,but suppose there be Inside the' castle an enemy, and in the night he shoves back the bolt andswings open the door. Our young folks have foes without, and they have foes within. Who does not understand it? Who is the man here who is not a,ware oTflieilact :mt the young people of this day'have tremendous teroptatte—i dome man will come to the young people and try to persuade them that purity and honesty and uprightness are a sign of weakness. Some man wjll take a dramatic attitude, and he will talk to the young man, and he will say: "You must break away from your mother's apron strings. Yon must get out of that puritanical straitjacket It is time you were your own master. You are verdant. You are green. You are unsophisticated. Come with me; I'll show you the world. I'll show you life. Come with me. You need to see {fee. wortd. It won't hurt you." A&R awhile the young man says: "Well, I ean't afford to be odd. I can't afford to be peculiar. I can't afford to sacrifice all my friends. I'll just go and see for myself." Farewell (o innocence, which once gone never fully comes back. Dp not be under the delusion that because you repent of sin you get rid forever of ifs consequences. I say farewell to innocence, which once gone never fully comes back. * * * Necessity of Early Training Begin early with your children. You stand on the banks of a river and you try to change its course. It has been rolling now for 100 miles. You cannot change it. But just go to the source of that river, go to where the water just drips down on the rock. Then with your knife make a channel this way and a channel that way, and it will take it. Come out and stand on the banks of your child's life when it was 1$0~or "40 years"of age, or^^ even 20, and try to change the course of that life. It is too late! It is too late! Go further up at the source of life and nearest to the mother's Treart, where the~cSaracter starts, and try to take it in the right direction. But, oh, my friend, be careful to make a line, a distinct line, between innocent hilarity on the one hand and vicious proclivity on the other. Do not think your children are going to ruin because they make a racket. All healthy children make a racket. But do not laugh at your child's sin because it ls~smart. If.you do, you will cry after awhile because it is malicious. Remember it is what you do more than what you say that is going to affect your children. Do you suppose Noah would have got his family to go into the ark if he staid out? No. His sons would have said: "I am not going into the boat. There's something wrong. Father won't go in. If father stays out I'll stay out." An officer may stand in a castle and look off upon an army fighting, but he cannot be much of an officer, he cannot excite much enthusiasm on the part of his troops standing in a castle or on hilltop looking off upon a fight. It is a Garibaldi or a Napoleon I. who leaps into th& stirrups ^njTd^hpq nhftad A ,»M€£&3BrUb .FARM &R. And you stand outside the Christian life and tell your children to go in. They will.not 450. But you dash on ahead, you enter the kingdom of God, and they themselves Will become good soldiers of Jes_us_Chrlst. A Personal Appeal. Are your children safe? I know it is a stupendous question to ask, but I must ask it. Are all your children safe? A mother when the house was on fire got out the household goods, many articles of beautiful furniture, but forgot to ask^until too late, "Are the children safe>?" When the elements are melting with fervent heat and God shall burn the world up and the cry of "Fire, fire!" shall resound amid the mountains and the valleys, will your children be safe? I wonder if the subject strikes a chord in the heart of any man who had Christian parentage, but has not lived as he ought? God brought you here this morning to have your memery revived. Did you have a Christian ancestry? "Oh, yes," says one man. "If there ever was a good woman, my mother was good." • How she watched you when you were sick! Others wearied. If she got weary, she nevertheless was wakeful, and the medicine was given at the right time, and when the pillow was hot she turned it. "A^d, oh, then when you began to go astray,, what a grief it was to her heart! All the scene-comes back." You remember the ohairs, you remember the table, you remember the doorsill where you played, you remember the tones of her voice. She seems calling'you now, not by the formal title with which we address you, saying, "Mr." this or "Mr." that, or "Honorable" thls^ or "Honorable" that. It is just the first name, your first name, she calls you by .this morning. She bids you to a better life. -She says: "Forget not all the counsel I gave youj my wandering boy. Turn into paths of righteousness. I am waiting for you at the gate." Oh, yes. God brought you here Jhis morning to have that memory revived, and I shout upward the tidings. Angels of God, send forward the news! Ring! Ring! The dead is alive again* and the lost is found!

Aagee with I M U farm—1 < S—slve Jilaed W%rmkm» Within three mllasTet the town, g o - ing eastward, is-the U n a «f Mr. W. Creamer, one of the municipality's- .largest and most prosperous mixed farjntrs. Mr. Creamer came Va thiscountry in 1*10 and settled on a portion of the land which comprises his present enormous farm of 1,280 acres. In common with many*ethers of a, similar period, he experienced all the hardships and dlfastililes common to the absent* of railway and market facilities. In no wltiidaunted, by energy, industry and indomitable will he was able to surmount all obstacles and has achieved an unparalleled sue-' cess, and is known throughout the district as one of its pre-eminent farmers. His operations extend over 1,280- acres, two sections (the thought alone of so much land makes* the eastern farmer dizzy); 800 acres of this is broken and the remainder is excellent pasture land and wood. This harvest he took off a crop of 500 acres of wheat and 200 of other grains. Four hundred acres are plowed and ready for wheat next spring. Mr. Creamer is, as has been stated, a mixed farmer of no mean proportions, having at the present time forty horses, sixty head of cattle and fifty piga. The' most modern farm buildings are found on his premises, the main building being a barn fifty-five feet square on a stone foundation, containing stabling ior sixteen horses and a large number of cattle. The loft Is stored with twentynine loads of 6**ea£..oats for feed, and tons of hay; there 13 also_a_cuiling?_ box. Another building of large dimensions is the granary, in which, after teaming large quantities to market, he still has stored 3,000 bushels of wheat. A crushing machine is in the building. There are a number of lesser buildings containing chicken house,' pig pens and cattle sheds. The farm residence is a handsome frame structure of ample proportions; in connection with it is a woodshed. The water supply is unexcelled; besides house supply there is a well in the stables and a never-failing spring situate in a bluff, which never freezes. Surrounded by a thick bluff of poplars, extending in a semi-circle to the west, north and east, the winter storms are broken and accumulation of snow unknown. Added to his farming operations, Mr. Creamer conducts a threshing outfit for the season. His success is only one Instance of what can be accomplished In western Canada.—Baldur (Man.)

To the conspirator's astonishment and to Kate's dismay the little game did not come to an end for many days. Jack was almost equally attentive to "Miss Raymond" and to "Miss Strong," but the raake-beUeve "Miss Strong" felt that he llkedTTo he with her more than with her friend. Alice was naturally gay and daring, while Kate was rather sedate. Having been Introduced to the entire neighborhood as "Miss Raymond," she was having a good time in her own way, which was hardly Kate's. This caused Kate much uneasiness. Little things that were really no harm in themselves, but which, looked like mountains of impropriety to Kate, were being done by Alice in Kate's name with the utmost sang-froid. Alice would not consent to end the play and she would acLher wwUa.i¥a.ftw& .way. The climax came the day before their visit encfecl. ; Kale was* sittfhg-alone 4h% the parlor, a rare thing, for the girls were..almost alw.ays~ .together, when Jack entered. Hie- face -brightened when he saw that she was alone and he came forward eagerly. Before Kate could stop him she had received a proposal of marriage. "But it's not I—that is, it is I—but you don't know me," stammered the girl in confusion. "Yes I do, and I love you dearly," declared Jack.

Lent la x, Time for Gaining J l o b SSMBV Beaaty. Lent, in the eyes of the society girl, isn't only a time for fasting and prayer, but it is a very important period of semi-rest, during which the ravages wrought in face and form by the dissipations of the season may be repaired so that Easter will find her fresh "ttatf. lovely again. Candy is entirely tabooed during this period. The money that she herself would spend for the sweets goes—well, it may go to the heathen or it may not; there's no use assuming that it's put aside to buy a parasol next summer, unless it really is. Percival's instructions on this point are very explicit—violets, and nothing else, will be graciously received during the penitential season, their purple chimes in so well with the general somber color scheme that it doesn't seem out of place to spend money for them. But candy is pot the only thing abjured for the sake of abstinence and complexion. All sweets are given up, plain food and little of it eaten, and hot water in copious quantities take* the place of chocolate between meals, or other drinks which may have a deleterious effect on the roses and lilies of the skin.

PAPA FROG A N D T H E T A D P O L E S n i l Children Cling 16 Hts H i c k TUI They Are B i g Enough to Leave. A male frog with little tapoles living on his back was discovered lately by Dr. August-Brauer of Marburg, Germany. For a little fellow it has a pretty long name, but perhaps Its paternal devotion has earned it the long Latin name, arthroleptis seychellensis boottger. It has been DOticed before that in some species of frogs living In Venezuela and. the island of Trinidad the male bears the young on its back, to which they hold by their mouths. But this new species is the first one on which so many as nine little ones were discovered, and besides they do not hold on by their mouths, but seem to be stuck to the papa frog's back and sides by some gummy substance which holds them In place, until they are large enough to care for themselves. It is a wonderful device of nature, that the female sometimes, deposits her eggs on the back of the male, where they hatch out, and the little tadpoles grow until they attain a certain size. Such is, of course, not the case with our common frogs, but in these rare species only lately found by naturalists is a strange reversal of what seems to us to be the usual law that the mother takes care of the young. In this species the eggs are not laid >on the back of the male, but on the ground, and only after they are hatched do they take up their position on papa's back. And there they ride until they are big enough to walk around and look for their own food. Printed t h e Wrong Portrait. After Hon. Foster M. Voorhees was elected governor of New Jersey the usual portraits of him were published in the newspapers. They made an interesting variety. In one instance an enterprising journal drew upon Us cabinet and used a cut of the president of a small western university, showing a young man with the hair carefully parted" and1 curled, and with eye-glasses that stood prominently in the picture. He looked about 20 years of age and the face was. smooth and smiling. The governor had a good laugh over this particular picture as well as over some of the other interesting variations of his countenance. He is not an old man by any means, being only 43, but he has the look of a serious student and man of affairs. His home Is in Elizabeth, N. J.

There are those who. say happiness is nothing; that one should not care to look fer i t When yon hear such a sentiment expressed, know that the speaker is saying what in his Inmost soul he disbelieves. While nobody believes that happiness is the only object to be sought in life, there Is not that human being who, while he lives, say what he may, is not seeking It openly or unacknowledged to himself. He who loftily waives off the acknowledgment of this fact, generally is at the same moment finding plausible excuses, of duty or present necessity, for securing to himself all possible ease and enjoyment What is uncomfortable and disagreeable to do is sure to b* contrary to his ideas of "right" What he wishes to do can never be "wrong."

W a r e ?9» jjrea«y*JlO l ^ i b l f l to tlM ('• Case With Many Bfor* to foliow-^-^ CoL Suttea R«fm»ed to Appear »• » Witness Agaiast Mars*. ; Il*th Day. :- T h e defense sprung a sensation in the Isfarsh trial o n the 36th by drawing ffcom President Hunter of the Henderson- Ames Co. the fact that a confer* «nce was held in his room in the Hotel Downey on March 6, Proscutor Tuttle, a n d S. N. Bickerstaff being present. T h e object was to show that Tuttie «oached thcin as to the line of testimony to be given to bear out his theory, a n d that they were promised immuni t y from prosecution... President Hunger denied all these claims, and Prosecutor Tutle, in examining him, drew o u t the fact that no conniving of the nature claimed had been made. The defense also attempted to show that CJbL Sutton, Col. Pope, Gen. Marsh and Attorney Speed were in the next room and heard the conversation. Attorneys tor the defense disagreed as t a the advisability of raising this question, Seventh Day. The attorneys for Col. Eli R. Sutton objected to his being called to the stand i n the Marsh trial on the 27th, on the ground1 that it might prejudice his own <$ase, as he is to be tried on practically d i e same charge as Gen. Marsh. Judge ^yiest sustained the objection, but it is said to be equivalent to Sutton's having xfeken the stand, refusing to testify under his constitutional rights. President Hunter ,-ave further testimony •regarding the financial transactions of t h e Henderson-Ames Co. and Qen. White. It developed that the eavesdropping episode, if < reports are true, *tas made the basis for warning the prosecutor to tread lightly in asking Bickerstaff certain questions regarding t h e military "deal." Atty.-Gen. Oren testified as to the letters he received from CoL Sutton and Gen. Marsh regarding the legal method for disposing o f the"surplus military supplies. The defense objected to the books of Gen. Marsh's father being introduced, be- •cause the father is ill, the prosecution being deprived of his testimony as well the defense. It was sustained. Eighth Day. During the testimony of Real Estate Dealer W. Q. Hunt, of Detroit, on the 26th, ft was brought out that Hunt aold Col. Eli R. Sutton a lot on Virginia avenue and received in payment the identical certificate of deposit which w a s issued to Gen. White by the Fourth National bank of Grand Rapids on Aug. 21. On the certificate were significant indorsements. The prosecution quizzed Grant Goodrich, bookkeeper for H. P. Marsh, father of the general, regarding the V^est loan pf $2,500, jjpdjsavoring to show that it was Marsh's contribution to the pot that went to t h e Illinois 'Supply Co. The testimony indicated that Gen. Marsh drove Goodrich around Allegan county in a bukgy. IBO as to avoid a deputy sheriff wholiad «1 grand jury subpoena for Goodrich. -Qtehters of Allegan and Grand Rapids c a n t s testified as to various deposits id withdrawals of Marsh and Gen. lite, the prosecution connecting the thereof with the various movements of the alleged conspirators. Ninth Day. , T h e prosecution in the Marsh trial On the29th probed deep into the various -tanking transactions made by Col. Eli ^R. Sutton in his own name and that of Tiis wife, in Detroit. The prosecution .attempted to show that three days after the alleged Grand Rapids "divvy," Button deposited currency amounting t o ¢8,200 in Detroit banks, accounting •for all but 8201 of the money, which Gen. White withdrew from_a_Grand -Rapids bank. The clerk of Sweet's hotel, Grand Rapids, testified as to the appearance of liickerstait', Marsh and Tyhitc at the hotel. The first time Marsh registered as John Grant of Deirjpib, so as to avoid reporters. On ano t h e r occasion, the clerk's father registered Sutton and Marsh as "Col. S." and "Gen. M." Testimony was introduced to show that the stock in the Simmons Knitting Co., held by Marsh and Bickerstaff, was paid for by Gen, White. Tenth Day. So far as the defensa is concerned, t h e famous Marsh trial came to a sudden and, what is generally looked upon a s an inglorious ending, on the afternoon of the 30th. As is usual the ease, -^a-eaim preceded the storm. It had been • a waiting game for an hour or more. 'Only two witnesses had been sworn, and they testified briefly and matters ^•of minor importance as compared with .twhat had gone before. Two recesses ^had been taken. One was to enable •aiie prosecution to look up requisitions <tor railroad mileage concerning which they wished to interrogate Col. Smith, <cmad the other to enable Judge Wiest to Qook up a point of law governing the •areqnesiof tha defense for permiftftion After the take long t o reach the clims^C, Capt/ Atkinson 'tiq examine the grand "jury.- iestiioony was la it did k not immediately asked thai the -«BOnttataed over the term. be • ,i . : . , " ' : v » . - , » " • • • • • • • ' V » - ' • - * Manual Training to Our School*. State Supt. Hammond, of the department of public instruction, has been jlfiydting considerably attention recently to the subject of, manual training, ahd he has now issued a circular on the subject. The principal idea of ihe circular* is that oyer' 90 per cent of the working population of the United States earn their trttng by their hands, and that, therefore, the body should be trained in the public schools as well as the mind. The last census shows that the intellectual pursuits, which are those of clergyman, lawyer, lecturer, physician, author, teacher, editor and reporter, were followed by 32,486 persons in the state of Michigan, while the pursuits requiring the exercise of manual labor were followed by 714,535 persons; and it is argued that the interests of the larger number are many times greater than those of the more or less professional class. » i Barber License Law U O. K. Fred Wass, the Benton Harbor barber who asked the supreme court for a mandamus to compel the new state" barbers' commission to grant him a certificate to ply his trade, w a s disappointed on the 27th, when the court denied the application. Wass had not been engaged in the business in Michigan for two years prior to the enactment of the law, but he had been so engaged in Ohio. The supreme court holds that a barber must have been engaged in the business "in this state" for two years prior to the enactment of the law in order to be entitled to a certificate without taking the examination. Tax Title Law of '97 Is Defective. The supreme court, on the 27th, in the case of the Citizens' Savings Bank vs. Auditor-General Dix, decided that section 143 of act No. 229 of 1897 is void. The act in question provides "for the giving of notice by tax title purchasers to the occupants or persons having title to or interest in such lands of the fact of such sale, and providing the terms upon which such occupant or other person interesred in such land may obtain reconveyance thereof." There are. limitations in the •> act which are not hinted at in the title, and it is declared restricted and void. EVENTS OF THEWS • • ( • ^ WEEK Terrible Tragedy at Owoeso. An attempted— murder and suicide took place in Owosso shortly after midnight on the 25th, and as a result Charles Scott lies cold in death and his wife and her mother, Mrs. George Ferguson, are both in a precarious condition, suffering from terrible injuries inflicted by the husband. The cause of the attempted murder was nothing more than jealousy. A number of times previous to the fatal night Scott had threatened to kill his wife. They had not resided together since Christmas. m Tbe Governor After Cash Dae From U. 8. Gov. Pingree w a s at Lansing on the 29th and got a move on in the direction of taking steps to recovsr the money due the state by the general government on account of the state's expenditures in connection with the Spanish war. Some months ago the government hung the matter up until copies of vouchers showing expenditures made by the state were produced. Since then, nothing has been done. April 27 Arbor Day. In accordance with the statute, Gov. Pingree has designated April 27 as Arbor Day. He calls attention to the importance and advisability of everyone who can to plant a tree or shrub on that day. He asks the people also to co-operate with the forestry commission recently created by the Jegisrature. WAR NOTES, Capt. Conradi, of the transport Garonne, which arrived at Tacoma on the 28th from Manila, reports that Aguinaldo, according to reports current there, is able to visit Manila in disguise almost as often as he wishes. How this is accomplished, no one seems to know, but it is known positively that he attended a grand masque ball at Manila on New Year's night, and has been seen there several times since. He is heard from occasionally as being first in one place and then in another. Gov.-Gen. Wood says he hopes by May to have reduced Havana's municipal budget to 8100,000 per month. When he went there last December, he found the figures exceeding $200,000. Many white Cubans announce theli intention of organizing an annexation party. They say they would prefer the Cuban flag, but they are not willing to submit to Negro control. A meeting conveyed by the various political factions at Santiago, with a view of affecting an agreement on candidates for the approaching elections, broke up in a riot. Every steamer that left Havana on the 31st was crowded. Every state room and every available cot had been engaged on all the three vessels bound for American ports. The immediate cause for this rush was to escape a possible quarantine. About ° two years ago, little Namis Winters, of Milton Center, Antrim county, then one year old, swallowed a shingle nail. A serious illness was the result She has had a bad cough ever since. She grew worse recently, but on the 36th she coughed up the nail, and now is in a fair way to speedily recover.

The state tax commission continues to be an expensive luxury, aacT the board of state auditors does not exhibit a tendency-to dip its wings. At the meeting of the auditors last week a big grist of claims was allowed. Robert Oakman drew 9415.30; Milo D. Campbell got in 5291.04, and Commissioner Freeman 9293.41. The aggregate of the claims allowed by the auditors upon the certification of the tax commissioners was 94,149.57. The original allowance of $600 per month for clerk hire has been more than doubled. John Caldwell got a draw of 9108.31 and Frank J. Tully comes in for 9131. Telephone, telegraph and express company bills are not insignificant in their dimensions. "Rev.'' Aztell was Barred Oat. A short time ago it was announced that "Rev." J. J. Axtell, who was turned out of the Congregational church at Royal Oak because of his pugilistic tendencies, was to be given another trial. However not all the members of the church were in favor of such a move, and when Axtell's admirers made an attempt to gain admittance to the edifice on the 1st, they found the door nailed shut with 10- penny nails. There was no service, and Axtell is not likely to again occupy the pulpit in that place. Two Killed at a Fire fa Owoato. Owosso was visited by the greatest calamity in its history on the 1st. I t s 9125,000 high school building lies in ruins and a fireman and school boy are dead, killed by falling walls. It is believed others are buried beneath the mass of debris, but this cannot be proved until it is learned who, if any, are missing. Five firmen and school boys are more or less badly injured, two perhaps fatally so. The fire caught from a burning chimney. The insurance on the building amounts to 946,- 000. Of, Interest to Catholic*. In deciding the case of Bishop John S. Foley vs. Mathias Kleibusch, the supreme court on the 27th- filed an opinion of great importance to the Catholic people of the state. It is the first decision of the Michigan court fixing the ownership of Catholic church property in the bishop. The court says that according to the regulations of the Roman Catholic church the complete dominion over the church property i s vested in the bishop. STATE GOSSIP. The Presbyterians of Alma are t o build a new church. The Congregational church at Leonidas is still without a pastor. The Battle Creek-Jackson electric road now appears to be a go. Wild geese in large numbers are reported around Highland station. There is a possibility 4hat North Adams is to have a canning factory soon. A big match factory will be located at Grand Rapids, giving employment to 150 people. The 1901 state convention of the Christian Endeavor society will be held in Port. Huron. The high schools of Van Buren county will hold a field day at Paw Paw on May 26. The Methodists of Negaunee dedicated their new church with appropriate services on the 25th. Yale will probably have another bank as soon as a new building can be erected for its accommodation. A movement is on foot at Midland to organize a business men's association to whoop 'cr up for the town. The oldest inhabitant does not remember seeing so many auctions in Livingston county as there have been this season. According to conservative estimates not less than 100 new houses and other buildings will be erected in Dowagiac the coming season. Brighton has hopes of a canning factory. For a 92,000 bonus, which the new village dads are talking of giving, it is believed one can be had. The~Detnocratic state conventton the selection of delegates to the national convention at Kansas City will be held at Port Huron, Tuesday, May 1 Peach growers around Saranac say that the fruit is all right in favored localities, but on low ground the buds have been quite generally injured by frost. .Sparta's schools are so crowded that no new pupils can be admitted at the Beginning of the spring term, but will have to wait until next September to come in.

Secretary of State Stearns has sent his personal check to Sheriff Porter, of Ingham county, as a reward for the arrest of Gen. VY. L. White, t h e missing Michigan quartermaster-general. Citizens of Midland threaten a certain farmer living near there w i t h a coat of tar and feathers for hiding beneath a sidewalk leading to a bridge that school children have to pass over. The Kalamazoo Sugar company has secured contracts in Starke county, Ind., for 3,000 acres of sugar beets. The Wolverine company, of Benton Harbor, has also secured a large acreage in Indiana. Farmers throughout western Oakland county report wheat, rye and clover as badly injured, if not ruined, by the heavy ice which has completely cxtveja^th^jo^erjgvel lands for the past few weeks. When an upper peninsular judge makes a decision, the litigants apparently take it as conclusive. Out of the 142 cases on the April docket of the supreme court, but three are from the upper peninsula. Considerable anxiety is caused among the farmers in the vicinity of Utica because of the thick coating of ice formed over their wheat fields. Some of the pioneers say that the condition is the Worst ever known. C. SL Voorhees is a farmer near Orion who hasn't any use for sugar beets as long as he can raise tobacco. He cultivated five acres of the weed last season and has just sold the crop, three tons, at 9140 per ton. The proposition to bond Traverse City for 943,667, to purchase the Campbell water works plant, carried on the 28th by a vote of 418 for to 256 against. The plant will be improved and extended to the outskirts. Sturgis is liable to lose its shear factory unless a cash bonus is forthcoming. In return for the bonus, however, if it is given, the company will double the capacity of its factory, thus giving employment to many more persons. The trial of Dr. Charles T. Bennett, of Detroit, charged with the killing of Mary Richards in Grand Rapids last July, was commenced before the jury in the superior court on the 29th, two days having been spent in getting a jnry. The Daniel Scotten & Co., of Detroit, branch of the Continental Tobacco Co., or in Other words, the factory which was the product of Daniel Scotten's years of labor, is to be closed up by the trust which purchased it a little over a year ago. The business men of'Niles seem to have waked up finally, and are hustling in the interests of the city. So far this season four new factories have been secured to locate there, the latest being a knitting mill that will give employment to 150 girls. New Baltimore's streets will be lighted by electricity if satisfactory arrangements can be made with the electric railway company to furnish the current for the lights from its mammoth power house in the village, now nearly completed. The sugar beet fever with which t h e farmers surrounding Utica were so thoroughly infected has left them as quickly as it came. They claim that beet crops require more care than any other crop and pay them less, so they refuse to try them again. A "board of trade," otherwise a bucket shop, was established at Albion several weeks ago, but the residents of that good Methodist town are evidently not believers in speculation in stocks, for vlack of patronage compelled the closing up of the shbp last week. John L. McDonell, of Detroit, was chosen to succeed his father-in-law, the late Capt. Joseph Nicholson, as superintendent of the Detroit house of correction, o a the 27th. Mr. McDonell was connected with the institution un^ de* his father-in-law's management,, making him well qualified for the position. e military board u*et oik thw SSfcbr and resolved to ask t h e anditor-geaeral for the refunding of an aggregate of 912,000 which was paid out o ! the national guard fund by tite White administration, but which ttfcoald have been paid from the. war toad.

So far as one ean see, this is no passing phase, xro* Eftfletttlon' of any temporary boom following a period of good crops and fair prices. It is a movement more spontaneous, more general, more marked than anything that has gone before^, and seems to indicate that the great West, like Samson, bursting the- encompassing bands, has awakened to a period of activity and development—that will -surpass anything we have known In the past and which will only be paralleled by the opening out of some of the most fertile of the western) states of the union. Look at some of. the figures. Over » thousand schools in Manitoba, and the number going up by leaps and bounds; something like 500 schools In the territories. Winnipeg, as representing the gateway of the West* the third city in the Dominion, in regard to bank clearings, postal business and probably in regard to customs, the customs return at Winnipeg running about 30 to 40 per cent greater month by month than in the fiscal year of 1897-8, the largest previous year for actual business entries, when over $900,000 was paid through the Winnipeg office for duty; the C. P. R. and Canada Northwest land sales together running over $1,500,000 for the year. These and a thousand more signs show how the West has leaped into new life. This is an Inspiring and cheering spectacle, but it brings with it great responsibilities. The business men realize this, the banks realize it and have spread their agencies through every bustling little town* clear oat to the coast; the churches realize it, and one denomination alone has opened an average of about thirty new stations in each of the past two ysaTsrand wlH increase this in.tbe year now entered upon; the government departments realize it, and there is talk of redistribution and additional members.

They sat thus for a long time, speaking in broken tones o* that time which had been fraught with such bitterness to both.

"My dearest" said Don at last, "there is only one thing I can ask yon to do now t o insure your happiness and—and your safety. Give me the right at once to shield you from harm, and to care for yon as only your husband cat.'" ""Yon wean.—'7" She faltered, while a faint <oolor fluttered to her wan cheek.

"Would it not be more cruel to me than to the_dead, to liveUn co; fear of-*-of someone annoying you/ or something happening to you, when I was not at "hand.-to protect you?" he ^sked. And his voice quivered. "Yes, yes!" Bhe sighed. And involuntarily a memory of Prince Clement Sing flashed through her overwrought brain. How might not he take opportunity of harassing her now 3ier father was gone, especially as he claimed to have the dead man's sanction to address her. And impulsively she.told Don of the Prince's visit. "But he went away in quite a friendly mood, saying if I ever wanted help I might count on him. It was a great relief. I was terribly afraid he might go away angry. He is so passionate and so powerful, I imagined all sorts of harm he might do." . Yet her tender heart recoiled from thinking of her own welfare, whilst her father's grave "lay so freshly dug." "Dear Don," she saLd, putting her little hand tenderly in his, "perhaps you cannot understand my feeling; but I seem to feel his presence still, as if his spirit stood quite near me now, and I thlftk it would hurt him to know I wanted to be happy without him so soon." The hand she touched trembled. - "No; I don't understand that." he said, almost roughly. "I am afraid I can only think of the dead as dead and buried In their graves." "No, no! don't say that!" she said, and she drew his hand to her lips and her hot tears fell upon it. "You who have proved so strong and true through all your trials, won't you take the solace of my belief that there is eternity to reward us for all our grief and parting? Dear Don, how else could we say, '0, death, where is thy sting? 0, grave, .where Is thy victory'?" He arose and paced the length of the room twice before he came back and stood once more by her side. "Lillie," he said, and she knew by the tone of his voice he had been struggling with some strong emotion, "come to me now, and teach me how to believe these things, while my heart is still -fresh to your sorrow. Promise me, Lillie!" He resumed his seat by her side and put out his hand to her appealingly. She met his eyes, her own all shining with unshed tears. "Don, dearest, if I went home to England with Mrs. Franklin for a few ;months, wouldn't you come and fetch •me there? But to :marry you now— <Jh, Don, Ioannot!" "Then heaven help me!" he answered "bitterly. Again he rose, and she saw by the workings of his face "how the indomitable will of the strong man, which fcad never before brooked rebuff, Strugs gted for supremacy, even over his 1GV&. — - - : r — - Hejcame back to her, and when-hn spofciblbJs Voice was low and tense; "Then it's all been 1« vain, Lillie. You love me, you say; but you cannot love me so much as I love you, for if you had asked me to do what I have asked you I would not have forsaken you." She, rose and flung herself in his arms. "Oh, Don, my love, why do you speak so? What makes you, so wild and strange? Don, Don, I have not forsaken you! You are a l i i now have in ^he whole world!" . Rifc jeajovw could noi be but stayed by her passionate ferror; and., suddenly, at touch of those *Un«lng arms* some of the old calm iznpertousness of the Don of old came to hli aid, , • * — 1 1 / darling," at answered, drawing her nearer, "I want yuu; I need you— you do not.know how m*|cn! Why would you defraud me of what is mine.? If we part now, God knows how next we may ever meet." Fateful words to haunt her in the long, long days to come. But now, overcome by his mastery and pleading, she resisted no longer; and as she spoke the words of yielding he sought, he kissed the lips which had uttered them with a fierce, consuming joy. CHAPTER VII. The wedding was over. It had been a very simple,* very quiet affair. Indeed, it had quite taken the little community of the garrison station by surprise, for Don's disposition was so naturally reserved. He had spoken little of his engagemenV-ftfld—only a—few brother officers and a small number of Lillie's personal friends were in the secret. The bridegroom had obtained "long leave," and with great reluctance had at last yielded to Lillie's appeal to spend the honeymoon in England. He had given in on the one stipula^ tion that Gadie Ha' should not be included in the program; and Lillie, with that touch of sympathy "which .makes the whole world kin," understood the jealous pain it must bring to remember that Scottish home of his childhood which he had looked some day to call his own. The winding up of her father's affairs, and the disposal of-soffle-or^het" own property, was. indeed her only incentive for the homeward journey at all; for, with the bond of ever^deepening love,, her life henceforth would be lived for Don alone. It seemed a strange, commonplace ending to that gay existence of. coquetry and ambition and almost heartless worldliness which once had constituted the sum total of her thoughts and actions. * As Lillie Gordon stood in her pretty bedroom, watching her maid pack away the simple white silk gown she had worn for the marriage ceremony, her thoughts leaped back to those days of long ago, and it seemed scarcely possible she could be the same Lillie who had held love so lightly in that bygone time. The wedding had taken place at 5 o'clock, with no reception afterwards, owing to the bride's deep mourning. The previous night Don had partaken of his farewell dinner as a bachelor with his jolly comrades of the Derbyshire mess, and now was absent making some last necessary arrangements at his quarters, as he and his bride were to leave by the night train for Bombay, where they would catch a hired troopship homeward bound. There was a knock at the bedroom door, and Mrs. Franklin's sweet voice sought admittance. The young widow was to stay on at the bungalow for.a few weeks longer, as her child's health was in loo precarious a state to undergo the long t«ea journey home, and she had gladly accepted Lillie's invitation to remnin. Lillie answered the knock herself. Despite the black crepe gown she now wore, the young bride looked radiant, with a subdued happiness that niRde nil else forgotten but the joyous beauty of her blue eyes and love-lit face. The other woman, who had lost her dwrest on earth, looked at her with a momentary pang of jealous grief. She little knew she was coming to chase the joy from those blue eyes forever. "My love," Mrs. Franklin spoke apologetically. "I am so sorry to trouble you, but Prince Clement Sing has just arrived from Simla, and demands to see you. I explained to him you wore busy, and asked if I could not deliver a message; but he insists on seeing you alone." "Has he heard of our-~our marriage?" queried LilHe, while a deeper coior tinted her check,— "Yes. - He evidently knew of it,, for he spoke of you as Mrs. Gordon," answered— the other lady, smiling. "I think, dear, perhaps it would be more diplomatic of you to go to him. To tell the truth, he was so emphatic about seeing you he quite frightened me." , "He will not frighten me," said Lillie, lightly. "Really, he i3 a very tiresome individual, and I hope I shall get rid of htm before" Don comes back, for I know Don cordially dislikes him." She picked up an ivory fan from her dressing table and went, with a proud, firm step, down the broad staircase. Her dignity as Don's wife seemed to have already added a subtle increase of matronly power to her slim, young n w e . — Prince Clement Sing was standing in the middle of the big drawing-room, and the look on his face made her step falter in spite of herself—it was dark and almost lowering with suppressed fury. Then she recovered her self-possession wjth an effort, and went for* | ward witn a pretty obeisance and outstretched hand. — — "This is an unexpected pleasure, Prince; and had you come a little later you would not have found me here. My husband and I start for Bombay tonight" "I fear you will not count it a pleaewnenyouTie^_ 6n~^w^aTerranarT have come," he answered grimly. "I only regret for your sake that I have come too late.'* "May I ask what you mean?" she said, somewhat haughtily. "I mean, madam, I know you sufficiently well to feel sure you would have hesitated to ally yourself to one whom you would feel it not worthy to breathe the same \air with you if you knew what I know concerning him."

"I beg to remind you again that we are leaving Pindi in two hpurs' time, and I expect my husband to join me here every moment." "Let him come!" returned the Prince —and he laughed a scathing little laugh. "Let him come and deny, if he can, the reason why your father's murderer has never been found!" Her hands clung convulsively to the chair, and she staggered; but only for an instant. She lifted her blue eyes to his, full of imperious scorn. "Will you kindly speak more plainly, Prince? If you compel me to listen to you, I at least deny your right to speak in riddles." It was open warfare between them now; but, in the tortured excitement, she was growing reckless of 'conventionalities. If -Don_wer» only by her side to protect her!

The program consisting of a reading by Miss Nettie Hall: solo by Miss Iva Placeway; reading by Mrs. J. W. Placeway; duet by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Schoenhals; instrumental solo, Miss Grace Nash; was followed by an interesting talk on "Maintaining the fertility of the soil," by A. D. McNair, of New York. He said it depended on two things, 1st the plant food; 2nd, the physical condition of the the soil. Farmers ought to keep track of all these chemical discoveries so that he can apply them to a good advantage. The effect of phosphate on wheat causes larger growth and larger kernal.

Astigmatism Is less usual than among Europeans. hese-are the conclusions arrived at by W. H. Rivers, an English naturalist, after nearly a yearns careful experimenting among the savages of Torres Strait and New Guinea. ! He concludes that the eyesight of primitive people is superior to that of inormal Europeans, but,only slightly ; superior; and that their visual powers depend mainly on their powers of observation, Which, owing to their familiarity with restricted surroundings , and,, their great attention to details, becomes highly cultivated. The Australian aborigines display wonderful powers of tracking.

But these facts indicate powers of [ observation, and, similarly, very often ! the ability of~nBavages to see distant objects and to find, for instance, birds I in foliage when they are invisible to j European eyes, resolves Itself into j their cultivated powers of searching j for these things, which Europeans of- , ten enough would be able to distini guish when once pointed out. It is only fair to state that Mr. Rivera's conclusions are at odds with those of a greater naturalist. When Charles Darwin made his famous trip around the world i n the Beagle there were on board three Terra del Fuegians being carried back to their miserable homes after a visit to England.

CoL Broadwood marched to the Bloemfontein water works, south of the Modder, where he encamped. At early dawn the camp was shelled by the enemy from a near p o i n t CoL Broadwood sent off a con* • o y with the batteries while the rest of the force remained to act as rear guard. The convoy arrived at a deep spruit, where the Boers were concealed, and the entire body walked into am* bush and was captured, together with six guns. The loss of life was not great, since most of the British had walked into the trap before a shot was fired. The following dispatch was trans* mitted from Lord Roberts to President Kruger on March 30. "Have just heard of the death of Gen. Joubert and desire to offer my sincere condolences upon the sad event Would ask you to convey to Gen. Joubert's family an ex* pression of my most respectful sympathy with their sad bereavement and to assure them also from me that all ranks of her majesty's force share in the feelings of deep regret at the sudden and untimely end of so distinguished a general, who devoted his life to the service of his country and whose personal gallantry was only surpassed by his humane conduct and chivalrous bearing-under all circumstances." Gen. Pietrus Jacobus Joubert, commandant- generat" - of the Transvaal forces, succumbed to the effects of a stomach complaint at Pretoria on the evening of the 27th, aged 68.

It was Joubert who organized the army of the South African republic By his death the republic loses a true patriot, gallant general, and an upright and honest gentleman. f Lord Methuen has returned to Kimberly with his mounted troojps^ from the Barkley district. They were at Likatlong, when they received the order from Lord Roberts to return to Kimherley. , It is reported that the Boers have reoccupied Campbell, and that they are in strong force near Warrenton, Bark ley West and Taungs. The Boers are concentrating in forco in the rear of Glen, and Lord Roberts is sending forward troops to engage them. The 7th infantry division Pad part of Gen. Frenches cavalry have been sent up to join the 14th brigade and the two cavalry regiments that are holding Glen and its enviroas. ' Prcsulent Krugcr on the 29th issued a proclamation warning the women and children to leave Bioemfontein within five days, as he intends to bombard and destroy the city and to shoot the burghers whom he captures there. ThjMleparture of the British transports'with the Boer prisoners for St. Helena has been delayed in consequence of increased sickness among the prisoners. Three died on Mar. 31 and 12 died during the week. The Dutch who surrendered their arms at Ladybrand a short time ago are now suffering seizures of their live stock. ~ It is estimated that, there are about 20,000 Boers guarding the nine passes over the Drake nsberg range. Dr. Leyds informs the Berlin press that 400,000 marks have been collected in Germany for the Boers. Another death from bubonic plague has occurred at Sydney, N. S.

[Copyright, tm, by i » u l s Klopsch.] Text, Psalm cxviii, *4: 4The Lord is n y stremfch a r t JO&iv" The most fascinating theme for a heart properly attuned U the Saviour. There i t something l a the morning light to suggest H i m and something In the evening shadow tor^epeak His praise. The flower breathes Him, the stars shine on Him, the cascade proclaims Him; all the voices of nature chant Him. • Whatever is grand, bright and beautiful, if you only lMten to it, will speak His praise. So when in the summer time I pluck a flower I think of Him who is "the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley." When I see [n the fields a lamb, I say, "Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world." When in very hot weather I come under a projecting cliff, I say: Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee! Over the old-fashioned pulpits there was a sounding board. The voice of the minister rose to the sounding board and the^i %aa struck baefc again upon the ears of the people. And so the 10,000 voices of earth rising up find the heavens a sounding board which strikes back to the ear of all nations the praises of Christ. The heavens tell His glory, and the earth shows H i s handiwork. The Bible thrills with one great story of redemption. Upon a blasted and faded paradise it poured a light of grorious restoration. It looked upon Abraham from the ram caught in,the thicket. It spoke in the bleating of the herds driven down to Jerusalem for sacrifice. It put infinite pathos t lato the speech of uncouth fishermen/1 It lifted Paul Into HIP third heaven, and it broke upon the ear of St. John with the brazen trumpets and the doxology^of the elders and the rushing yfeigsyof the seraphim. ' ^ 3 Instead of waiting untH you get sick and worn /out before you sing the praise of Christ, while your heart is happiest and your step Is lightest and your fortunes smile and your pathway blossoms and the overarching heavens drop upon you their benediction, speak the praises of Jesus. The old Greek orators, when they saw their audiences inattentive and slunibering, had one word with which they would rouse them up to the greatest enthusiasm. In the midst of their orations they would stop .and cry OUt " M a r a f h n n t " ftn(, ^ ^ p e o p l e ' s e n - s hearers, though you may. have been borne down with sin, and though trouble and trials and temptation may have come upon you, and you feel today hardly like looking up, methinks there is one.grand, royal, imperial word that ought to rouse your soul to infinite rejoicing, and that word is "Jesus."

I remark, in the first place, that Christ ought to be the cradle song. What our mothers sang to us when they put us to sleep is singing yet* We may have forgotten the words; but they went into the fiber of our soul and will forever be a part of i t It is not so much what you formally teach your children as what you sing to them. A hymn has wings. and can fly everyportaBt if your ohWdren gtow-ap, but perhaps they may n o t Their pathway may be short. Jesus may he wanting that child. Then there will be a soundless step in the dwelling and'the youAfal pulse will begin to flutter and little hands will be lifted for help. You canaet help. And a great agony will pinch at your heart, ami the cradle will be empty, and the nursery will be empty, and your soul will be empty. No little feet standing on the-stairs. No toys scattered o h the carpet; No quick following from room to room. No strange, and wwirtfiTig o , " " ^ ^ ? 1 No upturned face with laughing blue eyes come for*a kiss, but only a grave and a wreath of white blossoms on the top of it and bitter desolation and a sighing at nightfall with no one to put to bed. The heavenly shepherd will take that lamb safely anyhow, whether you have been faithful or unfaithful, but would it not have been pleasanter if you could have heard from^those lips the praises of Christ*? I never read anything more beautiful than this about a child's departure. The account said, "She folded her hands, kissed her mother good-bye, sang her hymn, turned her face to the wall, said her little prayer and then died." Oh, if I could gather up in one paragraph the last words of the little ones who have gone out from all these Christian circles, and T could picture the. calm looks and the folded hands and- sweet departure, methinks it would be grand and beautiful as one of heaven's great doxologles! In my pariBh in Philadelphia a little child was departing. She had beeneick all her days and a cripple. It was noonday when she went, and, as the shadow of death gathered on her eyelid she thought it was evening and time to go to bed, and so she said, ''Good night, papa! Good night, mamma!" .And then she was gone! It was "good night" to pain and "good night" to tears and "good night" to death and "good night" to earth, but it was "good morning" to Jesus—it was "good morning" to heaven. I can think p^f no cradle song more beautiful than Jesus. old its Songs for the Old. I next speak of Christ as the man's song. Quick music loses charm-for the- aged ear. The schoolgirl asks for a schottlsch or a glee, but her grandmother asks for "Balerma" or the "Portuguese Hymn." Fifty years of trouble have tamed the spirit, and the keys of the music board must, have a solemn tread. Though the voice may be tremulous, so that grandfather will not trust it in church, still he has the psalm book open before him, ^tnd he sings with "his soul. He hums his grandchild asleep with the same tune he sang forty years ago in ] the.old country meeting house. SoraV day the choir sings a tune so old that the young people do not know it, but | it starts the tears down the cheek of the aged man, for it reminds him of the revival scene in which he participated and of the radiant faces that long since went to dust and of the i i a y haired minister leaning over the pulpit and sounding the good tidings of great joy. I was one Thanksgiving day in my pulpit in Syracuse, and Rev. Daniel Waldo, at 98 years of age, stood beside me. The choir sang a tune. I said, Taking the suggestion of the t e x t r f f ^ 1 a m s 0 " ^ they sang that new tune; nobody seems to know i t " "Bless you, my son," said the old man, "I heard that seventy-years ago." There was a song today that touched the life of the aged with holy fire and kindled a glory on their vision that your younger eyesight cannot see. It was the song of salvation—Jesus, who fed them all their lives long; Jesus, who wiped away their tears; Jesus, who stood by them when all else GRAIN, ETC.

There is a place in Switzerland, where if you distinctly utter your voice, here come back ten or fifteen distinct echoes, and every Christian song sung by a mother in the ear of her child shall have 10,000 echoes coming back from all the gates of heaven. Oh, if mothers only knew the power of this 3acred spell, how much oftener the little ones would be gathered, and all our homes would chime with the songs of Jesus! We want some counteracting influence upon our children. The very moment your chtid steps into the street he steps into the path of temptation. There are foul-mouthed children who would like to be soil your little ones. It will not do t o keep you boys and girls in the house and make them house plants. They must have fresh air and recreation, God save your children from the scathing, blast: damning influence of the street! know of no counteracting influence but the power of Christian culture and example. Hold before.your. little,ones the pure life of Jesus. Let that name be the word that shall exorcise evil from their hearts. Give to your instruction all the fascination of music morning, noon and n i g h t Let it be Jesus, the cradle song. This is immarriage was consecrated and whose resurrection has poured light upon the graves of their departed. "Do you know me?" said the wife to her aged husband, who was dying, his mind already having gone out. He said, "No." And the son said, "Father, do you know me?" He said, "No." The daughter said, "Father, do you know me?" He said, "No." The minister of the gospel, standing by, said, "Do you know Jesus?" "Oh, yes," he said, "I knew Him, 'chief among 10,000, the one altogether lovely!'" Blessed the 'Bible in which spectacled old age reads the promise, "I will never leave you, never forsake you!" Blessed the staff on which the worn out pilgrim totters J on toward the welcome of his RedeeKStH er! Blessed the hymn book in which the faltering tongue and the failing eyes find Jesus, the old man's song! When my mother had been put awaftr for the resurrection, we, the childrert, came to the old. homestead, and each one wanted to take away a memento of her who had loved us so long and loved us so well. I think I took away the best of all the mementoes; it was e o!d«-fashioned round-glass spectaclesVthrough which she used to read her B^ble, and I put them on, but {hey were too old for me, and I could hot see across the room. But through them I could see back, to childhood and forward to the hills of heaven, where the ankles t h a t were -stiff with age | have become limber agaln^and the spirit, with restored eyesight, stands fin rapt exultation, crying, "This is teatmr*:;: • r\;r, Words of VeaeW I speak to yon again of Jesus as the nighV son. Job speaks of B i m who giveth songs in the night John Welch, the old Scotch minister, uaed> t o put a plaid across hit bed.on cold njghtfft and some one asked him why he put that there. He said, "Oh, sometimes in the night I want to sing the praise of Jesus and to get down and pray. Then I just take that plaid and wrap it around me to keep myself from th" feoieV' Songs in the nightt—Night of trouble has come down upon many 0' you. Commercial losses put put one star, slanderous abuse puts out another star, domestic bereavement has put out 1,000 lights, and gloom has been added to gloom and chill to chill and sting to sting, and one midnight has seemed to borrow the fold from another midnight to wrap itself In more unbearable darkness, but Christ has spoken peace to your-heart, and you sing; Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly, While the billows near me roll, While the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Saviour! Hide _ TW the storm otirfirlff passed, Safe Into the haven guide; Oh, receive my soul, at last. Songs in the night! Songs in. the night! For the sick, who have no one to turn the hot pillow, no one to put the taper on the stand, no one to put ice on the temples or pour out the soothing anodyne or utter one,cheerful word. Yet songs in the night! For the poor, who freeze in the winter's cold and swelter in the summer's heat and munch the hard crusts that bleed the sore gums and shiver Under blankets that cannot any longer be patched and tremble because rent day is come and they may be set out on the sidewalk and looking into the starved face, of the child and seeing famine there and death there, coming heme from the bakery and saying In the presence of the little famished ones "Oh, my God, flour has gone up!" Yet songs in the night! Song3 in the night! For the widow who goes to get the back pay of'her husband, slain by the "sharpshooters," and knows it is the last help she will have, moving out or.a comfortable home in desolation, death turning back from the exhausting cough and the pale cheek andthe lusterless eye and refusing all relief. Yet songs in,the night! Songs in the night! For the soldier in the field hospital, no surgeon to bind up the gunshot fracture, no water for the i hot lips, no kindhand to brush away the flies from the fresh wound, no one to take the loving farewell, the groaning, of others, pouted into his o w n groan, the blasphemy of others plowing; up his own spirit; the condensed bitterness of dying away from home among strangers. .Yet songs fin the night! Songs in the night! "Ah," said one dying soldier, "tell my mother that last night there was not one cloud between my soul and Jesus." Songs in the night! Songs in th3 night! A Christian woman, the wife of a minister of the gospel, was dying in the parsonage near the old church, where on Saturday night the choir used to assemble and rehearse for'the following Sabbath, and she said: "How strangely sweet the "choir rehearses tonight. They have* been - rehearsins there for an hour/' "No,"-said some one about her, "the choir is not rehearsing tonight." "Yes," she said, "I know they are. I hear them singing. How very sweetly they sing!" Now, it was not a choir of earth that she heard, <but the choir of heaven. I think that Jesus sometimes sets ajar the door of heaven, and a passage of that rapture'greets our ears. The minstrels of heaven strike such a tremendous strain the walls of jasper cannot hold i t ***v I wonder—and this is a question I have been asking myself all the service— will you sing that song? Will I sing it? Not unless our sins are pardoned and we learn now to sing the praise'of Cnrist will we ever sing I t there. The first great concert that I ever attended was in New York when Julien in tife Crystal .palace sioed before hundreds $f singers and bjmdraclo' of players updu-instrument*".

Give tho cow tome nice hay now, and i t may be best to put a blanket on her, and then, if you need steep, g o to bed and sleep like a Christian, says a contributor to Home, Field and Forum. I may have some credit marks at the day of judgment for more than 500 cows that I have lost sleep oyer, to make sure they did not suffer need* lessly when bearing young. If in good health, and fed and cared for right, not one cow in 100 will fail to clean within six hours. If one does fail, remove it without delay. My dairyman's father had all of his boys do the j o b - before they were 21 years. With his fifty cows, the case of a retention of the afterbirth 'aid not happen more than two or three times a year. I well remember my first attempt It seemed that I would kill the cow, but I did not, and I never have even injured one sinee. I don't do. It for my neighbors any more. I just order them to roll up their sleeves and go to business. Don't Increase the feed of a cow for, say, nine days after she calves. Treat her a great deal as though she w a s human. A cow can be petted and brushed and rubbed at that time. Pure S od. The farmer that wants a clean farm, must be on his guaVd against the introduction of noxious weeds. There is uo one way in which weeds invade the farm easier than through the admixturo of-wged seeds with clover and grass seeds. It therefore does not pay to purchase the low grades of seeds just because a few dollars per hundred "welghrcan oe savedT T h e w e e d s that spring out of such seeds occupy the ground to the exclusion of the desired plants, and the curtailment of the crop from this cause far more t h a n off-sets tho saving in the cost of the seed. In addition there is the expense of fighting the weeds, and that expense is frcr^ quently so great that it is about as. cheap to forego the harvesting of tho crop in the manner at first intended. We have seen fields that had been sown to grass, in hopes of making a good meadow, yellow with mustard, it is not an uncommon thing to see clover neias white with oxeye daisief. If farmers were wise the producers of' scch seed would not be able to sell it at any price, and would have to b» more careful in its production. But clover and grass seeds aro not the only kinds that need to be looked after. All of the smaller seeds that are purchased in bulk are often mixed with weed seeds. Were it not so our farms today would be measurably dean. To Insure fairly clean seed the farmer must instruct himself as to the characteristics ,of the various weed seeds enough to be able to recognize them at sight.

There vyere no devciopemeuts in the assassination case on the 38th, though the air was filled with rumors of more arrests and other new phases, The President has informed Kentucky Republicans that, while he cannot interfere in Kentucky affairs to the extent of disarming the militia of either faction, he is willing, so far as he can legitimately do so, to recognize the Republican officials of that state as the de facto officials. He told them Inthe same connection that he would give directions that mail- addressed to an official by title only, as to "The governor" or "The secretary of Btate," should be delivered to the Republicans holding the offices and not to the Democrats. Turkey and American Pork. The Turkish government has informed the United States legation that in the future the importation of American pork will be prohibited, giving as a reason for the prohibition the assertion that the meat is injurious to the publie health. Lloyd C. Griscom, United States charge d'affaires, protested energetically, demanding the annulling of the measure. No official information has been received at Washington. Statistics show that the exportation of hog products from the United States to Turkey for the past five years has averaged only 913 a year, hence the loss of Turkey's trade will not ruin the industry in this country^ Big B o t h to'the Gold Flelda. • 1 0 * ftajwai* 8 1 9 0 , .

It has cured my nervousness, With which I had been afflicted for a great number of years." It is a fact of ever-increasing astonishment that so many otherwise sensible and provident people will; for the neglect of so simple a precaution as to have a bottle of Peruna at hand, bring upon themselves the needless suffering and foolish expense that a practitioner of medicine is forced to witness every day. —As soon as the value of Peruna ie fully appreciated by every household, both as a^prftvehtivi and cure of these affections, tens of thousands of lives will be saved, and hundreds of thou* sands of chronic, lingering cases of disease prevented.

In lbt>3, wiiile he was setting type in the office of the Golden Era, a literary weekly paper of some local renown, he oilered to the editors, with much diffidence, occasional contributions, which ae had already set tip in his composing-stick- They were short a^rl unambitious, but they were so high.y approved b / the managers of the paper that the young author was encouraged to offer more of the same sort. A year later Haite accepted a writing engagement on the staff of the Californian, another literary weekly, then edited by Charles Henry Webb, better known to old Californians by* his pen name of "John Paul." Harte became editor of this newspaper In 1865, when Mr. Webb relinquished its management. Another contributor to the columns of the Californian was Samuel L. Clemens, who was then makin; his first essays In composition under the since famous sobriquet of "Mark TWain." Like Goldsmith's par:on, who was counted "passing rich with forty pounds a year," these two young writers were well contcn: with a compensation that would now lie resnrd- I ed by either of them w^tii amused con- } tempt. In the Californian Harte print- • ed nothing more ambitious thin bits of verse and slight local sketches in prose. The titles of some of these j were "Side-Walkings," "On a Balcony" and "A Boy's Dog."

CHAPTER VIII. "He is here to answer!" As the Prince spoke those fateful 'words Lillie turned and would have flown to Don's side; but at sight of his face she stopped short, paralyzed with amazement or fear or anguish. Which was It? Had she followed the first impulse to fly to him and beg him to deny this rile slander, what might Bon's answer not have been? But he saw her hesitation and that spasm of conflicting emotions which swept her face, and he strode forward, like a man who knows his doom pronounced and goes recklessly to meet it," realizing there ia oo escape. "I have heard, and I will answer," came his deep, rich tones. He spoke no other words of greeting to. bis untoward visitor. He looked neither at him nor his wife, but straight before him, as if he saw written there the self-denunciation he was fated to speak. ftU is true that I was with Captain Derwent at the time of death; that In a moment of passion I had pointed my revolver at his breast; but, as heaven is above us, I know it was not my shot, but a rebel bullet, which killed him." "An accomplice, perhaps?" suggested the Prince, with-a sneer.—— — Lillie had spoken no word. She stood as motionless as one, turned to stone; and though he would not meet her eyes, Don felt them to be fixed upon him with an agony that was harder to bear than the fiercest words of accusation. "Sir"—Don wheeled round now upon his adversary, and his voice grew toarder and stronger—"what I did I tell you was done in a moment of passion— a moment I shall regret to my lasfi hour. I do not know by what means you have got your -information; but to accuse me of taking his life.In cold blood I will not suffer—and I defy you to prove his death was by my hand!" "I have no desire to/prove it further," was the contemptuous reply of the Prince, whose ,calm complaisance now was as intense as was Don's hot passion. '1 have not the shadow of a doubt I oou}d do so if I chose. My faithful sepoy, who followed you when you left/Pindi for the camp, and shadowed £very step you took whilst you werjrthere, could testify to each word ~W*y°ur I a st converse w!th~~t!aptain ^Derwent He could tell how you declared you would kill both myself and Captain Derwent sooner than allow this lady, to become my wife." He bowed to the motionless Lillie. "He could swear that, when Gaptain Derwent repeated his refusal to your •own suit, you deliberately fired your j-erolvex, and he fell at your feet, crying: 'For Ltllie's sake, Gordon, have a care!' AH that I could prove. Can you deny it?" ^ For one instant there was tense silence, then Don's voice came, strained and hard: "If your sepoy could prove all this, why did he not come into camp and denounce me before the whole army? And for what purpose was he following me from Pindi, may I ask?" "You may." And the Prince's smile was not a pleasant one to see. "You must know, Captain Gordon, where one of our royal house loves, it is not customary for another man to lift his eyes. My jealousy of you was roused, and my sepoy was sent to watch you and warn Captain Derwent of my displeasure. As for your first question, your movements were a secret with ' him alone until he had my sanction to,divulge them. He will never receive that sanction, for now, with this unfortunate marriage, my interest in the subject has waned. You may rest assured yon are free to pass as an honorable soldier for the rest of your natural life.- The supreme sarcasm of the Princess, words was lost upon the haggard man who faced him. "Since you are so generous," said Don, with some calm scorn in his voice also, "I fail to see the object of such refined cruelty in bringing about this— Ahis painful and untimely scene." His tones broke a little in spite of fclmself. The sight of Lillie*8 immovable features was killing him. "My object"—and now Prince Clement Sing laughed shortly and moved to the doorway—"my object was_merely to bring home your guilt to you, «pd to humiliate yonder foolish creaxpfe, who might ha.ve been a. princess. >«and has made herself the wife of a fel- <>&. I have the honor to bid you both •die*." "St**?" DOB'S *oiee shook with the frenzy of his passion. "I will allow no man, not evea Prince Clement Sing, to call me by that name! Your sepoy shall be made to own it as a perjury!" "Find him and prove that, by all means, if you can," was the sneering answer; "for who will believe thai the shot to which you have confessed was not, as he says, the shot which caused Captain Derwent's death? 1 repeat, your ignoble secret is safe with me." The Prince waited for no reply. For a long moment there was silence—a silence full of the bitterness of death. Lillie still stood there motionless, it seemed almost without breath or being. She was not looking at Don any longer now. Her blue eyes were gazing into vacancy, with an expression of horror in them, as if they gazed in reality upon that ghastly scene the Prince had painted—her husband's revolver pointed at her father's breast. The silence and the anguish of it all grew more than Don could bear. "Lillie!" he cried. She made no movement. It was as if she bad become unconscious of his presence or even life itself. / "Lillie! For mercy's sake, Lillie, look at met Lillie! ±rf#tet^ He had gone to her' side now and touched her cold hand, and at the touch she swayed xa little and would have fallen senseless, but he caught her in his arm's and laid her on the low divan. He/fhrew himself on his knees beside_her, and looked at her with his breath/coming in hard, quick gasps. Despair and shame overwhelmed hjm to suffocation, and paramount through it all came the proud fear for that self which had hitherto ever been first with him all his life long—the self lor which he had often sacrificed the happiness of others or well-nigh forfeited honor, for which, at last in a moment of frenzy he had even sold his soul. He saw himself in that awful moment for what he was, and even with Captain Derwent's dead body at his feet he had failed to see himself. Scorned and shamed before men, it brought near to him another tribunal, higher and all-powerful, at whose portals he must needs stand at the last day, and he bowed his head in the with remorse and suffering, "ypji don't believe me guiity of his death? Don't tell me you' doubt met" " "IfAff not doubt you," she spoke at lastjJafcut/jrbu have deceived me, and oh, Don, it has broken my heart!" H*tj^k4d at her wildly; and seemed to ifttftte,. with a new sense of desolatifV that It was Indeed true. He had shattered alike her faith In him and her love. "Oh!" he cried out, "if you had loved me as I love you, you would understand a* d be pitiful!" "I do love you," she answered orekenlyWyou as yon should t>e,'afc God meant you to be, not what you are." "Don't!*1 he cried again. "Oh, If you only knew what a purgatory remorse has made my life ever since that fatal night, you would pity me and forgive!" "I do forgive you," she said, after a silence that seemed an eternity to the man who hung upon her words; "but life can never be the same again— never, never!" She staggered to her feet and flung back the long strands of her flaxen hair from her face with a despairing gesture. With a wild rush of memory l£ had dawned upon her that this was her wedding day, and that in an hour's time she was expected to leave her maiden home a happy bride. Her wedding day! Was it indeed only a few hours since she laid her hand in Don's and vowed that him she would love and cherish and obey till - death them did part? She turned now and looked at him, with the misery of that remembrance writ large upon her face, and Don winced beneath that look as if she had struck him a blow. "Oh, that we could undo this day!" she said. He hnew then the thing he dreaded 'nW~coTnT~in>bTrh~Inr He "had lost her love, and he was yet jto lose herself. And a fierce despair fell upon him. He strode towards her and took her in a passionate embrace. \ "No, I will not let you say it!" he cried hoarsely, "for I could not live without you, Lillie!" MARttH CONVICTED. —AeouMd B«U»»«d on 9 1 6 , 0 0 0 Ball* Guilty was the verdict of the jury in the trial of Gen.

The offense for which Marsh was convicted is a felony and the extreme penalty Is 14 years in state's prison. The most astonishing fact of the verdict is that the jurors had practically no disagreement as to the facts of the case. They first elected their fort man and then proceeded to take the first ballot, which resulted in 11 votes being cast for guilty and one for not guilty. For an hour after they went over the^ case very carefully, discussing the various points and when the second ballot was taken the decision was unanimous that Marsh was guilty according to the evidence. What kept the jury out so long was that five of them desired to condition the verdict by recommending the defendant to the mercy of the court, but after a protracted deliberation this was also put aside and the plain verdict of guilty rendered. Judge H'iest's charge to the jury was fair and impartial. He occupied about two hours' time in reading his charge. Whatever thoughts passed through the mind of Col. Sutton when he read the verdict, he kept them strictly to himself, but it evidently jarred on his nerves, as he was pale and had little to say. Sutton's request for a change of venue was^filed with-the clerk of the court on the 6th, but at this writing had not been acted upon. CHAPTER IX, Bombay at last! "Oh, the terrible strain of those nights and days since the garrison of Rawal Pindi had bidden the newly married pair "God speed," and that journey had begun which should have been one all-too-swiftly-passing stream of happiness, and held nothing but the long-drawn-out agony of tortured hours—hours spent together in closest companionship, yet in which they were kept apart by the widest gulfs. Don thought there could well be nothing bitterer than that stage of the journey which was overT The forced inaction on board the trains, the fierce satisfaction of arranging every little detail for his Wife's comfort, always first Teal-prayer that-had ever rentrhisJ-with tbe-knowi£dge„that.that right to_ bleeding heart "My God, my God, be merciful!" How would she for whom he had sinned look at him when those closed eyes opened? Would she not shrink from his touch as from some unclean thing? Would her love not fail before this blow he had dealt it, or was it that love possessed of a divine pity which would not turn even from the hand that struck it? He took the ivory fan which had dropped from her nerveless fingers and wafted it softly over her palid face. Her long, thick lashes quivered, the white eyelids opened at last, and her blue eyes were looking into his. He covered his face with his hands and bowed his head on the cushion beside her, for he could not dare to look at her now. She put out a trembling hand and touched his thick brown hair. "Don," she whispered faintly, "tell me it is not true!" "I cannot!" The hoarse reply pierced her very soul. Her hand dropped. She burst Into sudden and passionate weeping. With a strong effort Don recovered his self-control, and spoke with labored intensity. "It was not my shot that killed him —as God is my judge, I swear to you it was not; but, in a fit of anger. I fired, and it might have killed him. He Insisted you were to marry that dark fellow, and he would not listen to me, and I lost my head. Lillie, Lillle! don't look like that! Don't! I cannot bear it!" She had stayed her convulsive sobs, and her blue eyes were regarding him in a way that made his proud lips quiver. "You did that, yet yOfi came back to me and told me nothing of it, and yon jnade me marry you!" The words broke from her in low, halting sentences, as if they choked her to utter them. "Lillie, be merciful! It was my love for you that made me reckless. What good would it have done to tell you of our quarrel? For I never dreamt you would come tb know of it." "Oh, why did you make me marry you?" she wailed. And now she broke down once more and wept bitterly. "Lillie!" he cried, be&'de himself do so would all too soon cease to be his; the constant strain to keep up appearances before servants and officials, the utter inaWlity to break down the barrier of pain when they were alone. Sometimes he told himself it had be^ea better to speak that last goodby at Bombay and prolong the agony nolonger; but as a drowning man clings to the rope of succor, he had not the courage to be the one to cut the cord which bound them^Siie^had^onsented he should take her home, and he would go through with it to the bitter em His thoughts never went beyond that end. After their farewell-had been" spoken, what mattered it wither he went? And now they were on board the big steamer at last, and the May day was dying in a golden haze over land and sea. The pilot had long since gone ashore in the tug steamer, and the great Indian land of gtory and death was-^inking fast altera into the world of waters. Lillie stood on the poop and looked her last upon it with a bursting heart. She had come hither a gay and happy girl, she was going hence a brokenhearted woman, a wife in name alone. Don was below, conferring with the steward anent their luggage and cabins. She was free to let tell those salt tears she hid from h i d with proud, Spartanlike fortitude. If she suffered, she suffered in silence, and perhaps Don never guessed how deep that suffering was. He came up by and by, and found her still standing by the taffrail alone. She had checked her tears and recovered her habitual calm; but though she had drawn her veil down, through its thin texture Don saw how pale and worn her lovely face looked. "You are tired," he said, compassionately. "Shall you go below at once?" "I would rather stay here a while I am not in the least sleepy." (To be continued.) GOT. Pinfree Atks White's Apprehension.

An important case was argued before the supreme court on the 3d affecting the validity of the drain law and the cost of construction of thousands of culverts running under railroad property throughout the state. In 1889 what is known as the Harris drain was built in Windsor township, Eaton county, running alongside the Chicago & Grand Trunk. It was decided to tleepen, widen, , and straighten the drain in 1893, and the railroad company was ordered by the drain commissioner to ©onetr»et a culvert under its tracks. The company sent in a bill for 8111.05. claiming th.at the law was invalid and that its property should be condemned by proper proceedings so as to fix the damages claimed. In the circuit court, the company was beaten. Local Option Defeated in Allegan.

Sterling of Pittsburg said at the Hotel Manhatten: "The day of natural gas with us is practically over, and our city is dirtier than ever. 1 went to Pittsburg to live in 1886, and stayed at first with a friend of mino at Roup, one of the suburbs. At that time natural gas was everywhere in use, and there were open fires in every room. My friend warned me to be careful in using it, and always to laya lighted match on the bricks before turning on the natural gas. I was used to ordinary gas fires, and so when I had reason t o u s e my fire, and the ga3 blew the first match out without igniting, I leisurely scratched, another and touched her off. The aext instant found me stretched out on the other side of the room in a stunned condition, amid the wreck of the washstand, against which I had been hurled. Luckily I Escaped with a few bruises, but I ever afterward treated natural gas with profound respect. There are a lot of people in my town who would like tpjsnnw what takes the place of the gas in the bowels of the earth when we extract it. The way it rush?s out.when once tapped shows that it is pent up in some place at enormous pressure, which grows gradually lass and finally ends altogpther.

But perhaps there are many persons who have never realized Just why It burns and that a certain degree of heat is necessary' in order to consume the cylinder of wax or tallow of which the candle Is made. la the Arctic regions candles will not burn satisfactorily at or below a temperature of 35 degrees C. The reason for this is that the surrounding atmosphere is so cold that the fiame is Insufficient to melt enough of the material for its own subsistence. The feeble heat can do little more than melt out a tubular space around the wick, therefore the flame is small and weak, and sometimes falls altogether. The light, enclosed in a small glass vise, works better, as the temperature is Bomewhat raised by being so confined and enough wax melts to supply the fiame. U Ichor Heels.

TERRIBLE T O R T U R E S Inflicted bj Indians Daring a Seven-day Medlclae Dance. Tacoma (Wash.) Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean: The Yakima Indians nave closed a seven-day medicine dance near Toppenish. A peculiar feature of thl3 dance, and one that the neighboring white people supposed existed only in the minds of the dime-novel writers, is self-inflicted torture of the participants. It has a deep religious significance for them. Of course, not all of the Yakima Indians take part in these barbarous practices. Many of them are well educated men and women and live much as their white neighbors do. The—Indians who tortured themselves this week included several youug bucks who have been away to school. Returning home they relapsed into savagery and discarded white men's dress for blankets and feathers. All of the dancers inflicted numerous wounds upon themselves with knives, stones and sharpened sticks. Cutting holes in their- flesh, they inserted thongs" o f leather through them and pulled at these thongs until the flesh gave way. Some of them stopped only when physically exhausted. A buck about 30 years old held out the longest anu was declared the tribe's head med* icine man \for the next three years. \ - I , . Remarkable Operation. A remarkable operation was performed in Chicago the other day by which sight was restored to a woman who had been totally blind for seven years. The operation wa3 performed on Mrs. F. Q. \Parker. ' DT. C. Pnryn Stringfleld. consulting physician of the Chicago Baptist .hospital, assisted by Dr. Allen T. Haight, Dr. Walter Metcalf and Dr. Robert Dodds, did the work. By means of the X-ray It was learned that a tumor in the upper portion of the occipital lobe prevented the flow of blood which should supply the optic nerve. The operation was performed by trephining a section of the skull, then opening the membranes of the brain and removing the tumor. The sight was. completely restored. Pofetaofiffb*.

Futty 30,000 people gathered at the dam and power house stationed north of Austin, Tex., on the 8th to witness the ruins of the plant which cost the city 31,750,000 a few years ago. The powerhouse, which succumbed to the terrific wash of the water, lies a mass of wreckage on the edge of the river, all the valuable machinery either having been thrown into the river or badly damaged by the falling timbers of the power house. The wreck of the plant is complete. The situation in the city is most serious.' The wreckage of the plant means that it will take several weeks to secure even a temporary water and light system, if it can be made possible even then. In the mean time, the city will be in a bad sanitary condition. All the hotels, private residences, stores and the like are without water and there is no fire protection. Churches are unable to hold services at night for want of light and all public meeting are abandoned. The daily newspapers are handicapped in their publications, being deprived of their electric power. It is estimated that the total loss caused by the ilcod will exceed 53,000,000 Yellow Fine Giving Oat. Members of the Georgia Sawmill association, representing some 300 yellow pine piants in Georgia, South Carolina and Florida, at a meeting held in Tiftori, Ga., decided that on May 10 all mills belonging to the members of the association would be run on two-thirds time. This will affect thousands of operatives and decrease the output nearly one-third. It is understood that the limited supply of yellow pine timber in sight is largely the cause of this action, as the association thinks prices should rule higher in view of the small supply. Many of the larger mills have only enough standing timber in sight to last three or four years, while the most fortunate report only a sufficient amount in sight to run seven or eight years. Germany Move* to Secure Intervention. Contrary to statements published in England, neither the German nor any other continental cabinet has been asked by Count Muravieff, the Russian foreign minister, to present a joint intervention note, although it is correct that Germany has been sounding Austria-Hungary and Italy, her partners in the triple alliance, w i t h reference to the intervention question. The reply in each instance has been unfavorable.

A dispatch from Bushman's kopdated April 2 says: The Boers are still occupying the water works. The light w a s marked by many acts of individual courage. The first man to warn the British of the ambush was a sergeant of the army service corps, who shot a Boer dead with his revolver. Explosive bullets were found on some of the Boers who were captured During the engagement t h e Boers pursued t h e British for miles, killing, wounding and taking prisoners. One squadron of the 6th Dragoons, which entered the action 140 strong, mustered at the end only 10 mounted men.

A dispatch from Lord Roberts on t h e Cth says: A very serious loss has occurred resulting, I fear, in the capture of a party of infantry consisting o f three companies of the Royal Irish Fusiliers and two companies of the 9th. regiment of mounted infantry, near Iieddersburg, a little eastward of Bethany railway station, within a few miles of Bloemfontein. They were surrounded by a stronger force of t h e enemy with four or five guns. Therecan be no doubt but what the wholeparty has been made prisoners. The condition of the Boer prisonersis deplorable.

First falling back from an appalling h e i g h t to an appalling depth, falling from celestial hills to terrestrial valleys, from throne to manger; yet that did not seem to suffice him as a retreat. Falling back still farther from Bethlehem to Nazareth, from Nazareth to Jerusa-^ Jem, back from ^Jerusalem to Golgotha, back from Golgotha to the mausoleum in the rock, back down over the precipices of perdition until he walked amid the caverns of the eternal captives and drank of the wine of the wrath of Alm i g h t y God, amid the A h a b s , and the Jezebels and the Belshazzars. Oh, m e n of the pulpit and men of the pew, Christ's descent from heaven to earth does not measure half t h e distance! It was from glory to perdition. He descended Into hell. All the records of earthly retreat are as nothing c o m - "To arms! T o a r m s !

It w a s as much as to s a y : "There is the city. T a k e i t ! " God k n o w s and we k n o w that a great deal of Christian attack a m o u n t s to n o t h i n g simply because we do not take good aim. Nobody k n o w s and w e do not k n o w ourselves which point we want to take when we o u g h t to m a k e up our m i n d s w h a t God; will have us to do and point our spear in that direction and then hurl our body, mind, soul, time, eternity at that o n e target. * * • The Need of Conrace. I h a v e heard It said: "Look out for a man w h o has o n l y one idea; he Is irresistible." ' I say look out for t h e man w h o h a s one idea, and that a determination for soul saving. I believe God would s t r i k e me dead if I dared to point the spear in a n y other direction. Oh, for some of the courage and e n t h u s i a s m of J o s h u a ! H e flung two armies from the tip of that spear. It is sinful for us t o rest unless it is to get stronger muscle and fresher brain and purer heart for God's work. I feel on m y head the hands of Christ in a n e w ordination, Do you not feel the s a m e o m n i p o t e n t pressure? There is a work for all of us. Oh, that we might stand up side by side and point the spear toward the city! It ought to be taken. It will be taken. Our cities are drifting off toward loose religion or what is called "liberal Christianity," which is s o liberal that it g i v e s up all . t h e cardinal doctrines of the Bible; so liberal that it surrenders the rectitude of the throne of the A l m i g h t y . That is liberality with a vengeance. Let us. decide upon the work which we as Christian men h a v e to do and In the strength of God go to work and do it. * * * A Y*ar of Marries.

Alabastine is made ready for use In white or fourteen beautiful tints .by the addition of cold water. It la nut tip I n dry powdered form, 1« pack* iffes, properly labeled, with fuB directions on every package. It takes the »ace of scaltne kalsomlnes. wall paper ind paint f o r walla. AlabaStfhe can be' ised on plaster, brick, wood or canvae, lad a chiiflldd can bru-sh it on, WHAT "KALSOlflNES" ABB. Kalsomlnes are cheap and temporary preparations, manufactured from whiting-, chalks, clays, e t c They are stuck on the walls with delaying- animal glue. Alabastine Is not a kalsomina. It i s a rookbase cement, which sets, and it hardens with age. It can be re-coated and redecorated without having to wash and scrape off its old coats. Alabastine i» utilised to a great extent In hospitals, aa It prevents, the accumulation of dirt a n d the congregating of disease germs, being disinfectant in its nature. CHURCHES AND 8CHOOL-HOCSSS. The interior walls of churches, schoolhouses and all public ha|ls should never be coated with anything but the durable and pure Alabastine. So evident has this fact become, that hundreds of tons are used annually for this work. The genuine Alabastine does not rub or scale off. It is cleanly during the long period of its usefulness. Every owner of a building should u s e it.

The precipitation was ltto inc h e s for the state, this being .54 below normal. The ground was generally w e l l covered with snow during the first half of the month. Later, this w a s largely converted into water and ice, and did much damage'to wheat in m a n y places. The average condition of wheat in t h e southern counties was GO. central 70, northern 79, and in the state 04. These figures indicate that the prospect for j a average crop. x>f wheat is not as good as it was one year ago. Rains svre needed. The number of weeks of protection t o wheat by snow was, for the south e m <O0nnties 2.93 weeks, for the central 3.00 weeks, for the northern 3.38 weeks, and for the state 3.02 weeks. The •average condition of meadows in the «tmthem counties was 81, in the central 88, in the northern 93, and hi the s t a t e 84. The average condition for the state o f horses and sheep was 95, of cattle And swine 94. A few diseases are reported, but none of an alarming nature. T h e total number of bushels of wheat ^reported marketed by farmers in March a t the flouring mills was 382,446, and at the'elevators 874,60$, or a total of 657,- 055 bushels.

Judge Wiest was also loth to grant another delay of the trial, and -called attention to the fact that the •ease had been set at the request of the respondent. He said that if the case w e n t over it meant the disarranging of •the calendar for another term, while_ n a business could bo done for the rest o f the present term.

WAR NOTES. A defense of the administration of affairs at Manila is contained in a report recently made to the war department by Chaplain Charles C. Pierce This officer particularly antagonizes the chaplains of volunteers who have been severely criticising the morals of the American troops in the Philippines, making the oharge of wholesale intoxication and telling of the enormous increase in t^he number of liquor drinking saloons in Manila. The chaplain declares that the figures as to the number of saloons have been perverted; that the American saloon took the place of an untold number of native gin shacks which dispensed liquid poison with deplorable effect upon the American troops, and that the substitution of the regimental canteen has resulted in an improvement in the sobriety of the troops. Chaplain Pierce also"speaks in terms of high praise of the reformation of the critical conditions in Manila, its cleansing and sanitation with the resulting improvement in general health. An interesting topic of conversation in army circles is the investigation of lirig.-Gen. Frederick Fnnston's execution of two Filipinos and the possibility of a court martial resulting therefrom. The story is that the Filipinos captured three Macabebe scouts who were crossing the country near San Isidro and were preparing to kill them when one of the Macabebes escaped and found Gen. Funston with a scouting party near. This man guided the Americans to the rescue of his companions, aud when the troops approached the Filipinos fled, leaving the Macabebes. Several of the Filipinos were shot, and (Jen. Funston captured two of them, took them to the village square and hanged them without trial, as a warning to the other Filipinos. Acting under instructions from the secretary of war, Gen. Wood, military governor of Cnba, has established a treasury in the city of Havana, vrtiich was opened on the 16, for the reception and disbursement of the revenues of the island.

He points out that there are 90 cases of enteric fever and dysentry in-the prisoners' camp at Waterva; that t h e Transvaal government failed to supply, on demand of the ooctor, the necessary medicines and medical comforts; t h a t t h e prisoners were forced to bivouac on the open veldt; that the sick w e r e placed in an open shed, with an iron roof, and that it was only when t h e new doctor threatened to resign t h a t medicines and mattresses were sup*' plied. He invites President Kruger to remedy this state of things and con-' tracts it with the treatment the British; give to Boer prisoners, sick and' wounded, who, as Lord Roberts says,, "receive the same treatment as o u r own soldiers." ' According to Winston ChurchilL the war in South .Africa willf prove an extremely expensive! business. He says 250,000 men wiH be needed before the end is at-( tained. The question of re-mounts, will continue one of vital importance, Great numbers are now arriving, but owing to the fact that they have to be put to work before time is given them to recover from the effects of the voyage their condition is low and the death rate among them high. Thousands, therefore, will be wanted in addition to those now there or On t h e way, and great resting depots must be formed, together with an ample staff to nurse and exercise them. If that i s done, then, about four or five m o n t h s hence, you will be able to give your cavalry a new lease of life and strength. The British war office on the l l t h issued a return of the total British casualties up to April-7^ It was as follows: Killed in action, 311 officers and 1,960 men; died of wounds, 48 officers and 465 men; missing and prisoners, 168 officers and 3,722 men; died of dis- ' ease, 47 officers and 1,485 men; accidental deaths, 3 officers and 34 men; repatriated invalids, 288 officers and 4,934 men; total, 13,365, exclusive of the sick and wounded now in hospital. To the war office returns of casualties must be added the losses of the last week and the wounded, aggregating about 10,000 men, making a grand total of upwards of 23,000 officers and men put out of action The enemy's movements south of Bloemfontein have been checked. Wepener is still surrounded, but the little garrison is holding out well. Troops a m being moved to their assistance.; The health of the troops is good, and the climate perfection. Accounts received at Bloemfontein of the fighting of thejtroops under Col. Dalgety, a t Wepener, show the Boers attacked them vigorously, but were repulsed With great loss. The Boers subsequently relinquished the attack, and it) is said they are turning northward. The Niobe and the Milwaukee arrived at the Island of St. Helena oa; the 10tli with the Boer prisoners. Their health is good, with the exception of four cases of measles, necessitating the Milwaukee being quarantined. The governor was notified of the desire of the authorities that the . prisoners be treated with every courtesy and consideration. ' The Boers opened fire on the morn-1 ing of the 10th by sending shells into the British camp at Elandslaagte from three positions widely separated. Troops moved out to reconnoiter and found the Boers in strong force and, well fortified. A naval 4.7-inch g u n replied to the Boers, who have agaiu placed a long Tom in position. A special from Pretoria dated April, 9 says: It is officially announced that a battle has been fought south of Brandfort, in which 600 British troops were killed and wounded and 800 taken prisoners. Lord Roberts is declared to be finding great difficulty, owing to the scarcety of water. Through the repeated exhibitions.of incompetency on the part of Gen. Gatacre of the British forces, Lord Roberts was finally forced to recall him. Sir Herbert Chermside has been promoted to the command of the l l t h division^ Gatacre will immediately return to England. More than 5,000 tons of stuff for the English army in South Africa and a large number of mules started for Cape Town from New York on the 12th i n the British steamer Clan Robertson. In the consignment are 27,000 bales of hay to.be landed at Cape Town* Owing-to the unfavorable eradittona for keeping the Boer prisoners at Simon's Town the authorities have' decided t o ship them all to.

He fetched a, camp stool and placed It for her under the shelter of the BnaiasaU, and. sho took it with a little tremulous word of thanks. She did fcot beg him to sit by her, as once she •would so.naturally have dome, and apparently Don dreaded a tete-a-tete likewise, for he made no offer to. do so. "Are you a good sailor?" lie asked presently, stopping before h«sr in his abort walk to and fro. "Yes, I think so—at least, I stood the passage out very well." "The captain !* rather afraid we are in for rough seas. There's too much wln^p and he-fear» a storm—beforemorning." "I don't think I dread it much, so i, almosi pare **r the wedding journey. Did ever bridegroom haste on such mission with so heavy a heart? B e r lips quivered. It was the first approach to those other wild words he had last spoken on her wedding day. Grief held her silent now. Some invalid soldiers were Joining the sailors i n the forecastle bunks in lusty singing, and the plaintive words came •floating aft: "We've wandered mony a weary fit Sin' auld lang syne. Don had stooped over to replace the wrap that was dropping from her shoulders, and as his hand for an instant came in contact with her neck £he felt it tremble. The sun was going \ long as there is no lightning or thunder," she answered. "Do you?" "I?" he queried. "Oh, I don't care a straw on my own account whatever happens." She shivered in his clasp. "Oh!" she cried, more to herself than to him, "how could w e ever live together after this?" He felt her shiver, End the awful bitterness of this retribution for his sin seemed greater far than he could bear. "Lillie, be merciful, and my devotion to you shall be my atonement." He was fighting for his love now as one to whom the loss of it meant life itself. And Lillie? Her love and her grief were tearing her heart asunder. She withdrew herself from his arms in silence, and he let her go, while a flush of pain and humiliation swept his face. He knew so well then what would come next. "We must part," came her verdict at last, in a low anfl broken whisper. "Some day perhaps 1 may learn to forget, and I will come back to you; but not yet. Oh, I could not bear you to be with me yet—I could not, I could not!" Her voice broke m a bitter sob, and as Don heard it the last remnant of hope died out in his storm-tossed heart. "I will not be a iurden to you," he said, with great bitterness. "A bullet can end it all and make you free. Nothing matters now;" Th^re was no longer passion in his voice, only the reckless heaviness of despair. He turned and walked towards the doorway, a n d his firm step never faltered. ' "Don!" Her sweet voice pierced that terrible moment of silence which followed on his wild words with an agony that overwhelmed and stayed him. "Don, what are you saying? Do you forget our lives are not our own? We are bought with a price, and one day we shall have to give account for what we have done. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ." Ah, there was a time when the thoughtless Lillie had been the last to remember that solemn warning. The great trouble had brought home to her its awful truth, and Don -was only to learn it, too, across the tea rof suffering and self-sacrifice. The yearning appeal touched htm now simply through the intensity of her love, and he stoppod short and faced !her once more. "LilHe, I will agree to part, a s you wish; but I ask you, for our own sakes, lor society's sake, to let our wretched secret be onr own. Try to dissemble a little, if you can, and keep up the farce of our happy marriege." He laughed a little, bitter laugh. "When onee we reach England, I promise to leave yourf; free and never trouble you more; but if you humiliate me further here, God knows my will may gixe away." "Oh, m y love!" she cried out, piteously, "don't speak to me so! It breaks my heart!" At the endearment he stood a moment Irresolute, then strode back to her side and stretched out his hands. "Lillie," he said hoarsely, "it is madness to talk of ever parting. We cannot live without each other!" She put up a Utile hand to stay him coming nearer. "Don't, don'X! We can make no Atonement tor tin without sacrffloer My poor father " He looked with her, his face twitching wJin. passion. "Then at Southampton we part," he •aid. In speechless agony she looked a mute affirmation. And for answer Don laughed—the fitter laugh of an overwrought mind, and hurried tut to predown in a coppery mist of crimson and gold. It fell aslant Don's face, and she saw it was palid and drawn. He turned from her now, and, lighting a cigar, stood by the taffrail looking away from her. Moments—long moments— which seemed to her to grow into hours, passed, and he stood there still without moving. Only now and then the cigar sent up a pale wreath of smoke upon the freshening breeze. A lurid glow where the sun had gone down streamed out far and wide upon the horizon; then the glow faded, the fiery purple tints passed from cloud and wave, and suddenly it was night. With a shiver Lillie rose and stepped to Don's side. "I am going below now," she said, coldly. "Good n i g h t " The cold formality which had become already habitual to both seemed for the moment beyond Don to assume, for he took her hand, but did not release it. "The storm is coming," he said. "Look!" Sea birds darted screaming along the crests of the waves, the vessel pitched and rolled helplessly in the trough of the billows, and over all the sky h s u g i l k e a black pall. Don spoke again, and now more tenderness had crept into his voice. "I wish for your sake the squall was over. You must try and go to sleep." She shook her head. "I don't feel like sleeping," she answered. She would have withdrawn her hand, but Don's clasp upon it tightened. "Shall I come and sit with you for a while?" he'asked gently. "Oh, no!" The word3 broke from her abruptly, almost with shrinking dismay, and Don let her hand go, hi3 proud lip quivering. "Lillie!" he spoke hoarsely, "don't— don't turn from me-like this! It is more than I can bear J Won't you— won't you kiss me good-night this once?" She drew back swiftly. Love and pride were struggling fiercely in her breast; but pride domiaated. "All that is over now," she said, with _haughty bitterness. She turned to leave him. "Lillie!" he cried again, and at the passion in his voice she stood still, trembling, "don't say it is all over. I have tried to endure this and I carinot. Let my love atone. Be pitiful, forget my wrong, and take me back into your heart!" She looked at him, and for»^an4 instant their eyes met—Don's wild in despairing entreaty, Lillie's blinded with sudden tears. "How can I ever forget what has ihrpken my heart?" she said bitterly. She rushed from his side then and down to her cabin; but Don stood on where she had left him, seeing nothing, feeling nothing but the blackness of his own despair. Love had driven i h n to break down the barrier and speak the anguish that was dragging Ms soul down to the very abyss of reckless remorse; but now she had repulsed him nothing mattered. She had shrunk from him as from some unclean thing, and death was more welcome than life. Blinded by the salt spray and deafened by the roar of the elements, he leaned on at the taffrail when all others had gone below and he alone stood XK§r*~m deck. ;• F » a n a d e W y , with | awful swiftness, the fail fury of the etorm had burst. The sea had become a sheet of boiling foam. The wind raged and shook the gallant vessel, which ever and anon rose with a long, steady lift to breast the watery precipice, while cleaving the darkness came flash after flash of lightning and the dull roll of thunder, rising louder and nearer above the wild roar of wind and wave. „• And still through it all Don leant on, clinging to the taffrail unmoved* careless, almost expectant every moment might be his last. It was In a slight lull of the tempest's fury Lillie stole back on deck. The rain had been descending in hammering torrents, but now it came and went in gusts. The thunder was rolling away fainter and fainter; only the sea raged sullenly on. The wind lifted up its unwearied voice and the good ship plowed on its way. The pitiful yielding to self-reproach had followed swiftly on Lillie's cold and bitter leave-taking of Don, and now love was battling for victory to speak some little word of wifely tenderness, despite that ever-haunting remembrance of the dark Afridi nullah where her father's blood had been shed. Clinging to the companion rail she strove to peer through the darkness towards the spot where they had parted. Yes, he stood there still. But as she paused Irresolute, looking at that figure on the taffrail so apparently unmoved, an awful fear clutched her heart. Creeping stealthily towards him on hands and feet, under the shadow of the bulwarks, was the snake-like form of a swarthy seaman, an Indian knife gripped between his CONGRESSIONAL NOTES. The senate committee on privileges and elections on the 10th decided by a unanimous vote to recommend t h e adoption of a resolution declaring that iHHon. W. A. Clark, of Montana, is not entitled to occupy his seat as a senator from Montana. The decision was reached after a two hours' sitting, at which all the members of the committee was present except one.. The absentee was Senator Caffery, of Louisiana, and he wired his vote in opposition to Mr. Clark. The effect of this conclusion was to charge up the entire 9139,000 which Senator Clark confessed to having expended to his campaign for the senate, while the contention was made in Senator Clark's behalf that he had not become a candidate until after the state election, thus eliminating from the campaign in his individual behalf the amount Spent in the general contest. Senator McComas was among the senators who expressed themselves as convinced that the senatorial seat was in view from the beginning. Mr. McComas, however, united with other senators in condemning the methods pursued in prosecuting the case. Before this paper reaches our readers A WMh9r>m Tt rang above the storm from stem to stern of the great ship—burst from Lillie's parched lips. The cry was one word: "Don!" Her husband started and turned. Too late! Through the darkness flashed a gleam of steel, and the Indian's knife, uplifted to plunge with deadly aim in bis unconscious victim's back, was buried in Don's breast For an instant waged a fierce, unequal hand-to-hand struggle. With the rolling ship the two figures swayed madly to and fro. (To be continued.) COLOR SENSE OF SAVAGES. Peoples Among- Whom It Is Little Developed. In his lecture on "The Sense of Primitive Man," delivered at the Royal Institution, Dr.. W. H. R. Rivers spoke about primitive color vision. He devoted his introductory remarks to the importance of the color sense in the study of the relation between language and ideas, and referred to the deficiency in color sense which Dr. Gladstone and, later, Geiger, held to exist among the ancients, and to the theory of an evolution of color sense in man within historical times. He then gave some account of the vocabularies employed for colors by several savage races. The simplest he found was among the Australian natives in the Sevan Rivers district, a number of whom had only A r e e terms;; natives from the Fitzroy River showed much the same characteristics. The next simplest was that pf Kiwai, on the Fly River, where there was no name for blue apart from kilack. The last two he mentioned were those of Murray Island and Mabung, which were more extensive. In these four vocabularies four stages might be seen in the evolution of color language exactly as deduced by Geifcer, red being the most definite, and the colors at the other end of the spectrum the least so. It was noteworthy, too, that the order of these peoples in respect to culture was the same as in regard to development of words for colors. The Eskimo, Dr. Rivers observed, differed radically from the language of the tropical peoples he had examined in possessing an extremely well-developed color vocabulary. He next discussed the epithets used for color In Homer, and concluded that the features of his color language were essentially of the same nature as those found among primitive peoples of the present day. Speaking of the objective examination of color sense in the Torres Straits, he said the people showed no confusion between red and green. The investigation of their color names, he thought, showed that to them blue must be a duller and darker color than it was to us, and, indeed, the tintometer had afforded evidence of a distinct quantitative deficiency in their perception of blue, though the results were far from proving blindness" to blue. Dr. Rivers then discussed some of the objections that had been urged against the __ theory of a historical evolution of col- B p s t £?££*.. or sense, coming to the conclusion J~LQ*er grades that it was not to be lightly put aside, though it could not be regarded as fully demonstrated. Finally he considered some of the factors that determined the special characteristics of primitive color language, giving some instances from widely separated parts of the world, in which naffies^TcipTori" seemed-to be derived from the same natural objects,—London Times. the Puerto Rican tariff law will have teeth; and a hoarse cry—a cry that | become the law of_thc land, The little island so peacefully acquired by the United States, though by the exigencies of war, will be the first of the new insular possessions to be given a form of government. When the house concurred in the senate amendments to the house tariff bill on the afternoon of the 11th, by a vote of 161 to 153, there closed what will doubtless prove the most remarkable debate of the first session of the 56th congress. Party"aP legiance carried the measure through, and if the people choose to make an issue of it, it is theirs to decide. Michigan mustered one vote against the bill, that of Henry C. Smith. After some further discussion the senate on the 9th rejected the sectarian school amendment to the Indian appropriation bill offered by Mr. Jones (Dem., Ark.) by a vote of 30 to 16. As has been the practice for two or three years, the free homes measure was offered as an amendment to the bill, but it was ruled out on the point of order that it was general legislation and therefore not germane to an appropriation bill. AYithout division the bill was passed. The measure carries about 88,414,000. The naval department is doing all in its power to relieve the famine stricken people of India. Dr. Lewis Klopsch, of the Christian Herald, has notified the department that he has succeeded in collecting a large supply of food stuffs, mainly corn, for the famine sufferers, and has appealed to the department to transport this supply to India. Charles Pepper was at the navy department on the 10th to urge speedy action in the matter and met with success.-^ With little debate of importance the senate on the 11th passed the Pacfic cable bill, a measure introduced by Mr. Hale, appropriating $3,000,000 for the construction of a cable line between San Fraqpiscp and Honolulu. The bill was unanimously reported by the committee on naval affairs and that it was passed without serious objection is regarded as a compliment to the committee. The house committee on rivers and harbors on the 10th voted to take a trip through the great lake region next Juty at the request of the lake cariers in—order to investigate the needs of navigation. At a recent bearing before the committee, Capt. Wolvin extended an invitation to the committee and the present action is the result The Corliss bill for the election of senators by the direct vote of the people, with the Racker amendment as to the manner,of doing the same, which amendment met the views of the member from the First Michigan district, passed the house on the 13th by a vote of'J40tol5.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world.

Doctors were scarce, and they seldom herd of Appedicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the action of the liver, stimulate the .nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches anu^other aches. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. Sample bottle at '. tlons" F . A .

Shiras of the United States district court of northwestern Iowa. He speaks from his experiences in trying many cases in which Indians were either concerned or appeared as witnesses. He was appointed during the administration of Chester A. Arthur and since has been continually holding court in his own district and. within the eighth United States judicial district, which comprises thirteen states and three territories. This federal district, leaving out the state of Kentucky, is larger than all the territory east of the Miss issippi river. Speaking of his interesting experience in coming in contact with the Indians in court, he says the~red man or woman is generally, accurate. His observation was general. He says: "Ask a white man if he was drunk on a certain occasion he will try to wriggle out of it, but the Indian will come out with a 'yes' if he was. On one occasion a lawyer asked a squaw if she H- { ,,,e j understood the nature of her obliga- , „ I tion in giving testimony. She ans- OIKJ lor a c e n l - , wered that she had taken a "strong word' to tell the truth and she would do so. She was asked to define the difference between the truth and a lie, whereupon she said: 'The truth is the truth, and a" He is a lie; they are different and you- can't make them alike.' "You will remember that some six years ago an Indian named Plenty Horses was being tried in Sioux Falls for the murder of Colonel Casey of the United States army. One of the'witnesses brought in by the government was American Horse. There had been a Messiah craze among the Indians and a religious phase had been injected into the trial. "In the examination of American Horse he was asked what he knew about religion. There stood hear by a 8mall table, which the witness drew near him. He placed his finger on the Remarkable Cure of Rheumatism. centre of the table and drew a circle „ v . n ce -tr about it, saying: 'This is what the Kenna, Jackson U>, w . va. r e d m a n k n o w s a D o u t r e iig ion; then About three years ago my wife had he drew a larger circle saying ah attack of rheumatism which c o n - 1 t h a t the white^iErknew that mirett- , , . , . . . | more.

Two grown men went strolling unconcernedly up the centre of the Prado the other afternoon with a stark naked girl baby toddling along between them. Not a; stitch did the child have oh except a pair of rope bottomed slippers. Her little brown body was fat as a butter ball and glistened in the sun as though it has been oiled. "Heavens!" ejaculated a Yankee just come to town. "Wouldn't that come and get you? Up the Prado, the swellest street in town with nothing on but a pair of sllppera. That's certainly next door to wearing a pleasant smile." '•It's a little rare," said the other American who had been here longer, "to see a kid like that, but in the country it's so common that no one pays any attention to them. In the city a sense of decency generally prevails to prevent it, usually with the encouragement of the polica. But no matter how little else a child or grown person may have on you'll never find any of them, not even the poorest, without those slippers. That seems strange to none of us who were brought up in the South where even the children of the fairly well-to-do go barefooted. No, sir, if Whittler had lived around Havana he'd never have written his 'Barefoot Boy With Cheeks of Tan.' The cheeks of tan are here all right, down to the last shade of dead, dead black, but he wouldn't nave found a barefooted boy unless he'd caught him rolling out of bed. — "There is a mighty good reason too for not going barefooted t in Havana. The streets of this city are-permeated with the filth of centuries and among the agglomerated collection of bacilli appears in large and virulent force the lockjaw germ. Tetanus is a very common disease here and the people have learned, that it is dangerous to go barefooted. An abrasion on the foot is quite likely to give the undertaker a job unless immediate care is taken of it and even the poorest people prefer to go about with their feet protected. The fact that the stone pavements are frightfully hot in the sun and that stone floors, so common in the houses, are cold is another reason for wearing shoes or slippers.

"Dr. Hartman: "Dear Sir—Pe-ru-na has been my salvation. It has given me back a beautiful voice, a gift of God; it has brought me once more to my old profession. I can talk now, and sing, where before I could scarcely whisper. Can you wonder at my delight? I wish every person who" Is suffering as I suffered might know Pe-ru-na! Only those who have been afflicted can ever know the intense satisfaction and gratitude that comes with a complete cure.* My voice was completely gone. April 15 I felt so elated over the restoration of my voice that I inserted an advertisement in The Star for vocal pupils. The advertisement, which_cost me 65 cents, brought me five pupils, and that was the beginning of my present large class. Yours gratefully, "Annie Wyandotte." A congestion, inflammation or ulceration of the mucous membrane, whether of the head, stomach, kidneys, or other organ, is known to the medical professionas catarrh. It is known by different names, such as dyspepsia, Bright's disease, female complaint, diarrhoea, bronchitis, consumption and a host of other names. Wherever there is a congested mucous membrane there is catarrh, acute or chronic. Miss Clara Stoecker says: "I had chronic catarrh for over a year. I tried many remedies, but found no relief until I saw an advertisement in the paper of your treatment for chronic catarrh. I tried it and I think I am now well. I recommend pe-ru-na to all my friends who are afflicted with catarrh." Miss Stoecker lives «t Pittsburg, Pa. — Mrs. Margareth Fritz, Wilcox, Okla., writes: "I extend my sincere thanks for the good advice have given me. I do not believe I would be living new if it were n o t for you. I had s u f f e r e d with flow of blood for four months, and the doctors could help me but little. They operated on me three times. It was very painful and I only obtained little relief. I was so weak I could not turn in bed. Then I applied to Dr. Hartman.

The girl laughingly said to herself that an opera cloak would be a good thing to have near in case of fire by night. When she unpacked her trunk her warm evening cloak was given a hook near the - closet door. ' She decided also that her night slippers might reasonably be kept under the feed. A few weeks ago, on a bitterly cold night, that very dormitory burned to the ground. The young girl aroused from sound sleep by the alarm, ha J only time to seize her cloak and slippers and flee for her life. Not another of her belongings was saved.

The half cent coin has been in use in Chicago for the last two years,, and last week one of the New York stores ordered 500,000 one-half cent coins. These coins are to be made of copper, size one-half inch in diameter, or just twothirds t* the size of the regular onecent piece. Stamped in heavy raised figures and letters on one side will be "Ys cent," and on the reverse side will appear the name and address of the firm issuing the coins.

It belongs always to the reigning Pope, and only he can give permission to enter. Though there are only 225,000 volumes, they are the rarest in the world. The Vatican Jibrary has the only known copy of the New Testament written before the end of the fourth century; the original Dante, the oldest existing copy of Virgil, and a Terence which goes back to the fourth century.

When you write to Queen Victoria the paper which you use must be thick and white, and the letter must be put Into an envelope large enough to contain it without folding.

In the canary-breeding establishments of Germany only the male birds are valued, because the females never sing. The method of training the birds to sing is to put them in a room where there is an automatic whistle, which they all strive to Imitate. The breeder listens to the efforts of the birds, and picks out the most apt pupils, which are then placed in another room for further instruction. These are the best singers and ultimately fetch high prices.

That spicy odor that you notice in the cigar box comes from the wood of which it is made. It is not because it is Impregnated with the tobacco. Quite contrary, the tobacco takes the flavor of the wood. That is the reason why a particular kind of wood is used for the boxes of all the best cigars. It is Spanish cedar. It is an expensive wood, porous and spicy, and the only kind which has been found to improve the flavor of the cigar.
