CHAPTER III.—(Continued.) "He 1* considered very handsome," Joyce called mischievously after Rogtfie'r retreating figure; but whether lie heard her was doubtful, and her own frank, plain faco looted very Cave, as she picked up her wools. "Madame Is a clevor woman," she argued to herself. "Henri Is under her thumb-—that la, he always seems to he afraid of her; and Mollie is inexperienced and Impetuous. It is little more than a fortnight since slic returned. Can Reggie mind already— Reggie, who does not care for girls?" But personal experience, ia connection with the naval lieutenant to whom -she was enga^d, called loudly that a fortnight might make or mar a life, and she could not disguise from herself that Reggie had shown more interest.In beautiful ivtalllc L'Est ran go than he had ever exhibited for any woman—save hla mother and herself —before. A fresh, mattvr-o"-raet girl, oi'throcand- twenty, Joyce, though fond of Mollio, was inclined to. look upon her as a child, and did r.ot £ivc her credit for lialf the sense and observation she possessed. For Mollie hr.d leagued-a great deal in that past fortnin^ht, though Reggie had not always been her teacher. She knew that the food countiy pe-plo round, who had !:ce:i her parents' friends, while wishful to he .pleasant to herself, looked askance at Madame Dubois, whose gic^iobject in life v/aii. to get into the charmed-circle, of their acquaintance. Willi this end .she would drag the reluctant girl to any social gathering where she .might mc<*t them, and eadcavor to forca herself upon them until poor Mollie was bitterly ashamed of her: while her smothered exultation when Mrs. An- Etruther did violence to hnr i?oeIing3 by a stiff call showed I'.follic mora than words would have done how tho residents of Cbaifont Ii:;v;3e were regarded in Reverton. Kate was a great trir.l to her sister; she was dplicate. nervous and excitable to a degree; and. as hor aunt never checked her, she w?.s alnor.t unbearable. All Mo'.li-'s efToits at friendship she rejarrJfd with suspieion, HA mado to the heiress of Ohalfont, and she flew into a rage i? her sistsr t io.l to reason with hrr, or att'r-TuiJted to take ?ho part of the unfcrr.nuate daily governess whw for a couple of hours each morning endeavored to teach her. Mollie wan'very forbearing wJtli her, trying never to forget tiut she" was the baby whom t.ho had seen :n her mother's arms. But. she was. firm also, declining to be drivou about, or stand any rudeness; and Kats, nn.'ing her tempers disregarded, her imperioua airs laughed at, began to treat her sister with sullen respect. Mollie was thinking oi! Kate alter Reggie had left her at the gate, and she walked briskly up the graveled path, swinging her empty basket. She had promised some flowers fer the church on SUM!ay, and wanted them also for wreaths for her parents graves. Should she take them boldly from Chaifont, and incur her sister's wrath, or should she order them elsewhere? It seemed a shame that her mother'* wreath should not be from the place she loved so well; and yet she could not bear that anything for her should be wrangled over. There used to be a great clump of narcissi growing almost wild in a shady corner beside some laurels at the far side of the house. If Mr. Barlowe's vandal hand had spared them, she might surely have some from there; and, intent on finding out, 3ho never paused until she suddenly found herself nearly opposite the window of that fatal study where her stepfather had met his death by an unknown hand nearly twelve monlhs previously? Since her. return she had carefully avoided this spot; it had a nameless terror, yet fascination for her. Mrs Barlowe's name was rarely mentioned In the house; no servant would go past the study door alone after dark. It • was not only madame's hard and mean - rule that caused rarely a week to-pass without some of them leaving—they frightened each other; talcs of things seen and heard were life among them, and It must be owned Uiat Mollie was hot proof against the general whispering, the unspoken fear, that seemed to bang over the place, e&,7*cla1Jy after dark. She was half inclined (to turn back now, even though the sun was shining ard a whole colony of rooks en wins noisily in the tall trees further on. Round this very path the assassin must have stolen that bitter March night attar he had done the deed, leaving the window wide open; and . Why, the window was open now! Voices fell upon her ears. No one ever entered that room but Madame Dubois, though it was unlocked. Who could it be? Taking an impetuous step forward, her eyes felhon madame herself,standing erect with one hand on the table, her face haggard and white, her thin lips drawn away from her strong white teeth, her dark eyes gleaming under their heavy brows with a strange wild gleam; v/hile her voice.harsh and high, came clearly towards Mollie. "Are there no other apartments in the house but that you must come here —here—here?" she screamed. "Why do you torture rce like this? Have I not enough to bear for you? Ah, me! How many mothers would have done as much?" "Calm yourself, mother," cried a thin, reedy voice. "I had merely a fancy to view the chamber where my so tender-hearted relative shuffled off this mortal coil last Easter Sunday. Where is the harm?" "No, no, my beloved!" she answered, in a gasping voice, evidently struggling hard to recover her self-command; "but coming in suddenly and seeing a man—so near the time " And she clasped her hands.as a visible tremor shook'her from head to foot. "Every one was out; I wanted amusing," he said. "How dusty the place is. Why not use the room?" "Impossible!" panted she. "How can you expect it, Henri—you. who saw 1 have it cleaned sometimes, but no one will do it alone, nor will they come near it until after Sunday." "My uncle seems as much loved in death as in life." And there was a fine sneer in the ypung man's voice. "Now, why did you send for me in such a hurry, mother? I was having a good time in Paris—music, pretty girls! — and then you insist that I must return to this dull hole. 'Tk- absolutely cruel!" "You have no thought for your own interests. You are incorrigible!" she cried angrily. "I told you the reason plainly enough: and you spend so much money, tae sooner you fall in with my intentions the better for you; then your future is assured."- "So yen have dragged me away from a thousand o-igagrnients and pleasures just for this!" Moll'e heard him explain grumblingly. "What is she?" —"Oh, Henri, my adored!" cried Mahtfw much power they bad over tho chtld'a fortune. Bat t h e did not think of herself at the moment* except to be glad that she was no relation of their*. And then' her thoughts drifted off to Reggie, and there was a smile on h e r face as she flung open the door, nearly running over Kate, who was advancing consequentially down the corridor, a huge box of distinctly Parisian bonbons in her arms. "I shall not give you one because you would not take me to get moss," she said, with solemn spitefulnese, as she displayed them. "You should have gone with pleasure had you asked nicely," returned Mollie, unruffled. "But I will not take you anywhere when you are unpleasa n t " And before the irate mistress of the house could find anything bitter enough for her poor little tongue to utter, the elder girl had passed her, and, descending the stairs, entered the dining room, where Madame Dubois and her son were standing by the fire. There they stood, these aliens and strangers, giving themselves all the: airs of proprietorship in the house that ought to have been quite as much her's as Kate's. Standing, too, right under the painting of her father in full uniform that hung over the mantelpiece. It would have been removed long ago but that it had co3t some hundreds of pounds, and, Mr. Barlowe Becretly thought, added distinction to the room. of indignation and swept over Mollie. had these people at everything as their own, while she herself was but a guest; and it was.a very frigid and haughty bow that she gave in the direction of Monsieur Henri Dubois when his mother introduced him. ^ "What am I to call you?" exclaimed madame playfully. "Is it to bo cousins?" "Certainly not, madame," she broke in quickly, with a polite smile. "I am a L'Estrange, and the only relation I have in my father's house is my halfsister Kate." And her tone clearly implied-that no other would be allowed. The eider woman's face darkened visibly; but before she could speak Henri said, with a graceful, sweeping bow: "Mademoiselle is cruel; but I trust ia time to win and deserve her friendship " With some murmured words of assent MoMie-sank into her seat, and during luncheon took as complete a survey of the young man as the fact that he was covertly trying to do the same thing of her would allow. Small.slight, dapper, with sharp, well-cut features, a sallow complexion, and quick, black eyes, he was indeed a contrast to the young officer who already held a large place in her heart. A thorough Frenchman was Henri "Dubois, both ia thought and appearance, though his English was verygood; and as he sat. at the. foot of the table caressing his small, black mustache and endeavoring to make himself agreeable, Mollie privately came to the conclusion that she disliked and distrusted him only a little less than she MISSHAPEN LIMBS, fitafestr D«e to A hot wave wounded pride What business Chaifont using Food and laaparo Air. O This is one of the most distressing sights which we so frequently notice in the poorer districts of our large towns. The trouble which is commonly known as "rickets," is mainly due to unwholesome food, bad ventilation and insanitary surroundings genera ly, and Is rarely met with In children who, are well cared for. There is great comfort, however, in the knowledge that the deformity can he cured by suitable surgical appliances if steps are taken in time, and before the bones are set In their disfiguring shape. The symptoms are first observed about the age jb! six months, and may be recognizedj by slight feverishnees, swelling of the joints, and various other symptoms which are not otherwise seen. Where there is any suspicion of rickets a doctor should be consulted without loss of time, as there may be complications, and in the meantime do all you can to remove the cause, by giving a nutritious &i?t of an easily digested kind, plenty o? eggs, if the patient is old enough to take them, and good milk. Give a daily tepid salt bath, rubbing the body with a rather rough towel, and obey implicitly all your doctor's advice. Remember that unless your ehild is well cared for in all the minor details of everyday life, you are making the task more difficult for the doctor as well :u* prolonging your child's pain and suffering. Perfect cleanlincs3, constant fresh air. as much sunshine as is possible, and regular baths, are the strongest aids in fighting such a foe. Regarding the medicine wh'ch should be given to a ehild who is afflicted with rickets we will not pretend to advise. Iron and lime enter very largely into its composition. We suggest nourishing food, sanitary surroundings, and perfect obedience to the doctor's rules. 35 -With Rod and Om te Aifca*- *as" and "Enrouta> to t*# are the titles ef booklets Just teaed ftp tfcr General Passenger Department e* the Chisago 4k Eastern Illinote Rft&roei far freer distribution.

Is it nothing to you to be with youi »raother?" What reply the son made Mollie did not hear, for, recovering from her astonishment, she stole quietly away, thankful that madame's keen glanee had not fallen upon her. That Monsieur Herri Dubois had arrived before he was expected—that he had come, not because he loved his home and wished to make her acquaintance, as madame had repeatedly declared, but because she'had sent him an imperative summons—was clear; but why had she done so? Nor could Mollie, having seen the mother's hard face, softened and beautiful with feeling, doubt that this invisible son, with the thin, sneering voice, was the passion of her life, the being for whom she would go through fire and water. CHAPTER IV. It was with conflicting feelings that Mollie brushed out her sunny hair before luncheon, staring absently the "while into the glass with a perplexed frown. They were strange people, these Dubois, and she uneasily felt that she could not fathom them. Henri's cynical tone she considered unfeeling, for Leonard Barlowe had been his uncle after all; while madame never showed the least rcspoet for her dead brother, though any allusion1 to him would visibly upset her self-control. And Mollie shrewdly guessed that the extravagant affection she heaped on Kate was but on the surface. Evidently madame had sent for her son, and there was a "she* in the case —did they, mean Kate? Already Mollie had not a very high idea of fVelr. probity. «nd wandered did bin mother, and that might only be because she did not knpw him so well. Indeed his high voice and cyu'eal air contrasted badly with Reggie Anstruther's hearty tones and easy, wellbred manner, though it was plain that his mother thought him perfect, and rarely took her eyes from his face. '•Where have you been this morning, Mollie?" she demanded at. length, when there came a break in the conversation. "She has been for a country walk with Mr. Anstruther. I saw her," broke in Kate's little voice, maliciously "And she would not take me." Did a swift glance of meaning pass between mother and son? Mollie could not be quite sure, for this unprovoked attack was disconcerting enough to make her blush furiously. It was very ^annoying, and madame's eyes were turned upon her crimson visage with unmerciful scrutiny. "Kate knows why I would not take her," she said, breaking the pause with a somewhat haughty ring in her young voice. "Uut this Mr. Anstruther " begin madame coldly. "I met him when I was going to gather moss, and he accompanied me" —rather defiantly. Madame's lips went into the thin line1 that gave such a very unpleasant expression to her face, and Mollie continued her luncheon with but a hazy notion of what was on her plate, and a vague, uncomfortable presentiment that picking moss in the bright sunshine with Reggie for a companion would not be allowed to occur again. Two or three times already, when her opinion had not agreed with madame's, she had been obliged te> yield, and as the scene of the fragrant earthly moss, tho flickering light throng* tke buffding branches in the shady 'ane. and Reggie's laughing brown fane rose before her, so also did a IheKlsg of her own helplessness in itadaaat Dubois' strong, shapely hands. , (To bo Continued.) Wild Geese. During the season of migration, generally in April and October in Manitoba and the territories, the flight 'of the wild goose is an almost continuous procession for several days consecutively. The height at which they fly varies according to conditions oi the atmosphere. On clear days their V-shaped companies may be seen cleaving space from 200 to 500 yards, or 600 to 1,500 feet above the surface of the prairie, sometimes Indeed still higher. In dull and cloudy weather they (like the swallows) fly low. and in spring, or in fa^,t at all seasons, are excellent discriminators of a sown field from one as yet unsown to any kind of grain. They have been known on numerous occasions to alight on plowed laud, hand sown to wheat, and remain right there for several days, covering the ground like a snowfall in numbers whose name is legion, with sentinels set at different points, and all busy as bees. They have one end in view, namely, the possession of all the red fyfe in sight. In cases of this kind, fields have to be all resown, or no harvest is the inevitable result.

UNADILLA FARMER'S CLUB. The September meeting of the above club was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Urosoinan, near Gregory on Saturday afternoon last and although many of the members were busy with corn and beans there was a fair attendence and same excellent matters discussed. The club was called to order by Pres. Howlett, and opened by singing by the club and prayer by Mrs. Gates. The first paper on the program was by W. H. Sales, "Stable Character vs. Fleeting Policy." Every farmer believes that character is bred on the farm. Stable character can only be brought out by the trials and perplexities of life. Did not believe there was one standard of character for politicians and one for citizen. Mr. Gates thought the paper was excellent and enjoyed it. Mr. Glenn agreed with the paperrf Mr. Howlett: we all agree that character is the fundumental part ot life. The paper certainly deserves reflecting. Emory Glenn then favored the club wit a 'coon' song, also ^ne by Mr. and Mrs. Gates. The question box was opened and the following question's asked: what do you think of rape as a food for cal ves? E. Glenn thought that it was excellent to fatten them as they take on rapidly while feeding upon it. Think it pays best for them and hogs—they will live on that and water and get fat. ... Are you all satisfied with the amount of toll taken by milier for grinding wheat? No. thought 8. or 10 enough. Will Fruit keep better put up with or without sugar? Mrs. Pyper always sweetened fruit. Do not think it any advantage to put up without sugar. Mrs. Crossman always used sugar and found it kept well unless put upon the table. Which is the cheapest way to ..harvest corn, by harvester or by hand? Mr. Otto Arnold thought this season the harvester paid the best as it left the corn ready for the shredder. Mr. Glenn thought that if the shredder was to be used the binder was all right but if corn is to be husked by band it 3hould be cut by hand. Has anyone had any experience in budding fruit trees directed in the Michigan Farmer? No one had any experience. What is the proper depth to sow wheat? Mi*. Glenn, I found out that very shallow sown wheat was the bet* ter. How long will wheat lie in the ground before it will spoil, if it does not sprout? E. Glenn knew that it bad lain over one month and grew all right. Mr. Howlett found that it had spoiled in two weeks. How much should be sown per acre of wheat? Mr. Crossman, have tried many different ways but think 1J bu. enough. Oeo. Backus thought that the quanity depended on the quality of land, but sow two bushels always. E. Glenn always sowed 2 bushels, this year should sow both ways—one bush* > el each way. Mr. Howlett will sew \ \ bushel8 this year. •' l*t WMITM 11*«.

The circumstance occasioned surprise, and was the subject of much comment by the kind host and his civilian friends. It is rare to find a missionary of any nationality in India today who takes liquor in any form, except for medical purposes. Even the German brethern, who indulge in their beer at home, do not make a practice, we are told, of using it in India, The change of sentiment in this matter during the last quarter of a century has been most marked. It is noteworthy that the American missionaries had the honor of being the pioneers in bringing about so desirable a result. A time was when they were looked upon as extremists and fanatics by the missionaries of other nationalities, and were subject to no little ridicule. A firm, uncompromising attitude has had its effect. The influence on the native church has likewise been wholesome. The vice of intemperance has undoubledly decreased among native Christians of Madras during the last twentyyears, when we consider their numerical growth during the same period. Not that the drinking habit has by any means been entirely abandoned; but it is not the reproach of the community that it once was. It is a matter of rejoicing that our own Mission has taken an unflinching stand from the first on this question.—Mangla Vasanam (India).

The committee have secured many at tractions some of which are advertised Vlehtfaa Cm Bepert ghowers have been general all through the month of August, making it favorable for the growth of all kinds of crops in most sections. Some of the storms were severe and accompanied by high wind which blew ' over the corn and cansed apples to drop badly. Pasture has been exceptionally good on conditions have been favorable for prepari ng ground for wheat; on the whole it has been the most favorable August we have had in many years. The quality of wheat is poor this year. * Much of it is light in weight while in many localities it is badly colored, which was caused by the continued wet weather in July. The season this year has been very favorable for oats. In some localities they were not harvested and stored before the frequent rains came, but as a whole the crop is larger than the average. In most of the countries corn has made a wonderful growth during the last month. Frequent showers and the pie vailing high temperature enabled the crop to make, up for the late start In sonoe cases the crop has been bloWn down by the high wind, but this did no material damage, except to increase the cost of harvesting. From the indications at present we have safely in sight one of the largest crops of corn ever grown in the State. There are some complaints that beans have been damaged by excessive rains; also that they have grown to vines too much. In some cases potatoes have been affected with blight and have been damaged by Water on low ground. On the whole a good ^rop is in sight. The crop of clover seed has been injured some by insects and in some places has not filled well. By some this has been attributed to the excessive rains. In most of the counties all kinds of live stock are in good condition. Pastures have been exceptionally good, making it possible for everything to thrive. There are some complaints of lambs dyiny from various causes and some reports of the existence of the swino plague. • ^.-:.

GOD'S J U D G M E N T S ARE S W I F T A N D SUBC. Rational Slot A N FanUhed by Ii«ra Intrui&euts -— No Calamity Ifappwui by Cbttnce, but la Directed by OLvtrie Wisdom. ' • (Copyright, 1900, by Louis Klopsoh.) Dr. Talmage, in his journey westward, through Europe, has recently visited scenes of thrilling historic events. He sends this sermon, in which he shows that nations are judged in this world and that God rewards them for their virtues and punishes thorn for their erirncs. The text is Isaiah vli, 20, "In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria." The Bible is the boldest book ever written. There are no similtudes in Oasian of the Iliad or the Odyssey so daring. Its imagery sometimes seems on the verge of the reckless, but only seems so. The fact is that God would startle and arouse and propel men and nations. A tame and limping similtude would fail to accomplish the object. While there arc times when he employs in the Bible the' gentle dew and the morning cloud and the dove and the daybreak in the presentat on of truth, wc often ilnd the iron chariot, the lightning, tho earthquake, the spray, the sword, and, in my text, the razor. This kcsn-bladed instrument has advanced in usefulness with the ages. In Eibln times and lands tho beard remained uncut save in the seasons of mourning and humiliation, but tho razor was always a suggestive symbol. David naid of Doeg, his antagonist, "Thy tongue is a sharp razor working deceitfully"—that is, It pretends to clear the face, but is really used for -deadly incision. In this striking text this weapon of the toilet appears, under the following circumstances: Judea needed to have seme of its properties cut off, and God sends against it three Assyrian kings —first Sennacherib, th^n Esarhaddon and afterward Nebuchadnezzar. Thess three sharp invasions that cut down the glory of Judea are compared to so many sweeps of the razor across the face of the land. And these devastations were called a hired razor because God took the kings of Assyria, with whom he had no sympathy, to do tlie work and paid them in palaces and spoils and annexations. These kings were hired to execute the divine behests. And now the text, which on its first reading may have seemed tr.vUl or inapt, is charged with momentous import, "In the same day shall tlie Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria." ftUzorn of J u ^ c i w n t . Well, if God's judgments are razors, we had better be careful how we r^e them on other people. In careful' sheath these domestic weapons are put away where no one by accident' may touch them, and where the hands of children may not reach them. Such instruments mast bo carefully handled or uot handled at all. But how recklessly some people wield the judgments of God! If a man meets with business, misfortune, how many there are ready to cry out: "That is a judgment of God upon him because he was unscrupulous or arrogant or overreaching or miserly, I thought he would get cut down. What a clean sweep of everything! His city house and country house gone. His siab.es emptied of all the fine bays and sorrels and grays that used to prance by his door. AH h!s resources overthrown and all that he prided himself on tumbled Into demolition. Good for him!" Stop, my brother. Don't sling around so freely the judgments o' God, for they are razors. Some of the most wicked huslness-jmen succeed, and they live and die in prosperity, and some of the most honest and conscientious arc driven into how you put tho Bharp edge on others, How I do dislike the behavior of those persons who when people are unfortunate say, "I told punished—served him I-told-you-so's got their desert, they would long ago have been pitched over the battlements. The mote in their neighbor's eyes, so small that it takes a ^microscope to find it, gives them more trodble than the beam which ob» scures their own optics. With sir sometimes supercilious and sometimes pharasaical and always blasphemous they take the razor of divine judgment and sharpen it on the hone of their own hard hearts and then go to work on men sprawled out at full length under disaster, cutting mercilessly. They begin by soft expressions of sympathy and pity and half praise and lather the victim all over before they put on the sharp edge. Manic of Kind Words* Let us bo careful how we shoot at others lest we take down the wrong one, remembering the servant of King William Rufus, who shot at a de?r, but the arrow glanced at a tree and killed the king. Instead of going out with shafts to pierce and razors to cut we had better imitate the friend of Richard Coe'ur de Lion. Richard, in tho war of the Crusades, was captured, and imprisoned, but none of his friends knew where, so his loyal friend went around the land from stronghold to stronghold and saog at each window a snatch of song that Richard Coeur de Lion had taught him in other days. And one day, coming before a jail where he suspected his king might be incarcerated, he sang two lines of song, and immediately King' Richard responded from his cell w.t'a the other two Hues, and so his whereabouts were discovered, and a successful movement was at once made'for his liberation. So let~us go up and down the world with the music of kind words and sympathetic hearts, serenading the unfortunate, and trying to get out of trouble men who had noble natures, but by unforeseen circumstances have been incarcerated, thU3 liberating kings. More hymubook and less razor. NOhinsr Kver "Happens." Attain, when I read in my text that tho Lord shaver, with tho hired razor of Assyria the land of Julea I think myself of the precision of God's providence, A razor swung the tenth part of an inch out of the right line means either failure or laceration, but God's dealings never slip, and they do not mis3 by the thousandth part cf an iuch the r-ijrht direction.. People talk as though things in this world were at loose ends. Cholera sweeps acres; 3 Marseilles and Madrid and Palermo, and we watrh an.ciously. Will the epidemic swoop Europe and America? People say. "That will entirely depend on. whether the inoculation is a sucns.-. fvA experiment; th?.t will depend entirely on quaraniino regulations; that will depend en the. early or lats appearance of fro^t. That epidemic is pitched into tho world, and it goes blundering across the continents,, and it is all guers-wovk- and an appalling "perhaps." 1 think, perhaps, that God had something to da with it and that his-mercy may have in some way protected us; that he may have done as much for us as the quarantine and the health officers. It was right and a necessity that all caution should be used, but there have come enough macaroni from Italy, and enough grapes from tho south of France, and enough rags from tatterdemalions, and hidden in reach besides war—epidemics•,J TRANSVAAL.

Krugpr'a aotkia shows how hopeless in Ids opinion is tbe war which has now been carried on for uearly a year, and his desertion of the Boer cause should make clear to his fellow burghers that i t is useless to continue the struggle any longer. I t is probably unknown to the inhabitants of the Transvaal and Orange River Colony that nearly 15,000 of their fellow subjects are now prisoners of war, not one of whom will be released until those now under arms against us surrender nncon<ttlk>n»lry. The burghers must bo cognisant «fi the fact that no intervention in their behalf can come from any of the great powers, and, further, that t h o British empire is determined to complete the work which has already cost so many lives, and carry to a conclusion she war declared against her by the late governments of tho Transvaal and the Orange Free State, a war to which there can be only one ending. News from the seat of war in Soutl> Africa is indecisive, but it is clear that Roberts is making a concentric movement on Komatipoort, and has left. Pretoria to direct it personally. Ian Hamilton is returning to tho railway from Lydenburg; Pole-Carew is pushing east toward Nelspruit; French is making for liarbcrton and liuller has divided Botha's force and cut off a portion of them from communication with the commandos between Nelsprsit and Komatipoort. Lydenburg, apparently, was abandoned as soon as it was captured, and the British forces are in hot pursuit of the remnant of the Boer army and driving it eastward to the Portuguese frontier. These tactios are bold, but in accord with RoberWstratcgy since February. Komatipoort is the new objective point, and when it is captured Roberts will bo credited with having taken possession of the last Dutch railway line and closed the door into neutral territory. The work of pacification will not have beea thoroughly worked out, but tho main object will have been secured, as was done when Blocinfoutcin and Pretoria were occupied. Roberts reports from Machadodorp, under date, of Sept. 12, that French was heavily engaged that day with Boers'in the hills West of Barberton, and that tlcn. Ilutton had gone to French's support. Tho flight of Kruger to Lorenzo Marque/, may enable Botha to open negotiations with Buller and bring the war to an end. Botha may continue the struggle, dividing his force into small bands. The closing scenes of the protracted campaign tend to illustrate the truth that without a neutral base the Boers are helplest*. It is reported that Commandaat-Gen. Louis Botha has resigned the chief command of the Transvaal forces tu Commandant Viljocn. text the great nations may combine to put us down. Our hation,«BO easily approached on north and south and from both oceans, might have on hand a t once more hostilities than were over arrayed asainst any one power. I hope no such combination against us will ever be formnd, but 1 want to show that, as Assyria was the hired razor against Judea, and Cyrus, tho hired razor against Babylon, and the Huns the hired razor against the Goths, there are now many razors that the Lord could hire if, because of our national sins, he should Undertake to shave us. In 1S70 Germany was the razor with which the Lord shaved France. Japan was {he razor with which he shaved China and America the razor with which he shaved arrogant, oppressive and Bible hating Spain. But nations are to repent in a day. May a speedy and worldwide coming to God hinder on both sides the sea, all national calamity. But do not let us as a nation either by unrighteous law at Washington or bad lives among ourselves defy the Almighty. llreuUth of IHvIn* L o r e . King Henry II. of England crowned his sou as kiug and on tho day of coronation put on a servant's garb, and waited, he, the kinir, at the son's table, to „the astonishment of all the princes. But we know of a more wondrous scene—the King of heaven and earth offering to put on you, his child, the crown of life, and in the form of a servant waiting on you with blessing. Extol that love, all painting, all sculpture, all music, all architecture, all worship! In Drcsdcrdan gallery let Raphael hold him up as a-child, and in Antwerp cathedral let Rubens hand him down from the cross as a martyr, and JHandel make all his oratorio vibrate around that one chord—"He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities." But not until all the redeemed get home, and from tho countenances in all the galleries ot the ransomed shall be revealed the wonders of redemption, shall either man or seraph or archansrel know the height and depth and length and breadth of the love of God. At our national capital a monument in honor of him who did more than any one to achieve our American independence was for scores of years in building, and most of us were discouraged and said it would never be completed. And how glad we all were when in the presence of the highest officials of the nation the work was done! Eut will the monument to him who died for the eternal liberation of the human race ever be completed? For ages the work has been going up. Evangelists and apostles and martyrs have been adding to the heavenly pile, and every one of the millions of redeemed going up from earth has made to it contribution of gladness, and weight of glory is swung ta the top of other weight of glory, higher and higher as the centuries go by, higher and higher as the whole millenniums roll, sapphire on the top of jasper, sardonyx on the top of chalcedony and chrysoprasu3 above topaz, until far beneath shall be tho walls and towers and domes of our earthly capitol, a monument forever and forever, rising and yet never done, "Unto him who hath loved us and washed us from our ^ , •'••'fa %•' ;:.:•*• •1,.' . • 'K' .>>*: ***-- The election at Cuba was quiet and perfectly orderly all over the island.

With one sharp man's manner was unfortunate, and he was not really as prcud as he looked to be. Some cf those who carry their heads erect and look imperial are humble as a child, while many a man in seedy coact'and slouch hat and unblacked shoes is as proud as Lucifer. You cannot tell by a man's look. Perhaps he was not unscrupulous In business, for there are two sides to every story, and everybody that accomplishes anything for himself or others gets industriously Bed about Perhaps hl3 .business misfortune was not a punisbanent, but the fatherly discipline to {prepare him for heaven, and God may love him far more than, he loves you, who can pay dollar for dollar and are put down in the commercial catalogues as Al.

Better keep your hand off the Lord's razors, lest they cut and wound people that do not deserye it. If you want to shave off sojfi/of tbc bristling pride of yotr sweep he went across Judea, and down went its pride and power. In 1861 God shaved the American nation. We had allowed to grow Sabbath desecration aiid oppression and blasphemy and fraud and impurity and all sorts of turpitide. The south had its sins, and the north its sins, and the east its sins, and the west its sins. We had been warned again and again, and we did not heed. At length the word of war cut from the St. Lawrence to the gulf and from the Atlantic seaboard to Pacific seaboard. The pride of the land, not the cowards, but the heroes, on both sides went down.- And that Which we took for the sword of war was the Lord's razor. In 18S2 again it went across the land; in 1863 azain; in 1864 again. Then tho sharp instrument was incased and put away. Never In the history of the ages was any land more thoroughly shaved than during those four years of civil combat, and, my brethren, if we do not quit some of our Individual and national finn thp I/>rd will e^ain t a l c This 1¾ the time of the foolish election bets.

If Bryan is elected the ownership of the property passes to the parties putting up the cash and the money goes to the owners of the property. If McKInley is elected both the deeds and the cash are passed over to the person or persons who put up the money.

Nobody who once looked upon Mistress Marget—pretty Mistress Marget almost everybody called her—could hc!p levins her. I, Thomas Dawtry, a plain and simple squire of the realm, loved hsr better than all the world. .But pretty Mistress Marget was not lor me, or so, at least, her father had informed me. As for me, I had long since decided to abide by this decision only BO long as circumstances compelled me. Whenever fate offered mo the shadow of an opportunity I meant to steal Mistress Marget and run a w a y with her. Mistress Marget, as I had every reason—save spoken words—to believe, would be by n o means unwilling. The opportunity came when my sweet lady's father was called away to fi#ht for his king and country, King Charles and Bonnie England. I, who longed to fight for king and country also, dated the laughter and the jeers of my comrades to stay behind a little ;tml' steal my lovely lady, if it so pleased fate. .And no sooner had her father ridden away, at the head of his men, thee I made for the hall and sought out old Simeon, the gardener. Sir Reginald had never forbidden my visits—he was too wise a man to tempt late in such a manner; he had merely taken care that I had no chance of solitary speech with my dear lady. I knew now that the Lady Eleanor Blewett, who Ailed, as best she might, the place of the dead lady of the manor to her daughter, Mistress Marget, favored not my suit, so I sought not to have speech with her or with my lady. Old Simeon I had been friends with ever since, as a child, I had played in the gardens with sweet Mistress Marget I knew he was my friend and would help me. I knew also that he might speak with his lady when I might not unwatched and unguarded. To old Simeon I told my story, and trusted him f o r his aid. And there was tha chink of gold between us when we parted, albeit my lack of gold was the reason why Sir Reginald had said me nay, upon my asking for his daughter's hand. And for gold—next to his love for pretty Mistress Marget—old Simeon would do more than most of us would do for the sake of life. That evening I happoned to be walking in the lane just as old Simeon also came out to take the air. And a note passed between us. Old Simeon also instructed me as to where I could find certain implements and tools—a ladder and a stout stave among them —which I might need later on, perchance. . And I gave to Simeon the package of a certain drug, which my friend, the chirugeon, had given me. Mistress Marget was to see that this drug w a s dropped into the flagon of .ale sent up for the Lady Eleanor's tuppar. Than, later, she was to lean out of her casement and signal to mc, waiting outside in the lane. And later still Parson Dabncy, who loved us both and sympathized with us rather than with Sir Reginald, was to make pretty Mistress Marget my wife. And s o it all happened, without let or hindrance, save when my Jbody servant's horse was mired in the slough back of the lane. He should have waited in the lane proper, but he thought he heard voices and sounds of horses' hoofs coming, and, knowing that .he must not be found there, he leaped hl3 own steed over the hedge and into the slough. We had to wait some minutes for him, when we would fain have hurried onward. But this was after I had placed the ladder underneath my lady's window, mounted it, pried off the guarding bars with the stout stave which old Simeon had furnished me, and received my darling in my arms. My heart beat so in goring down the ladder that I feared s h e would hear it and think me timid. Yet had I courage to claim a kiss as we neared the bottom, insisting that she pay it me before I set her down; and I do not think she noticed the rapid beating of my heart after that, even had she noticed it before. Her own heart beat rapidly then, as the bright color coming and going in the face which looke'd so fair and sweet in the moonlight testified clearly. At the foot of the ladder I set her down, and hand in hand we raced across the greensward, over the footbridge old Simeon had managed to leave open and unguarded for us, and out into the lane. There, lifting her dear form in my arms. I swung her up before _ me, and away we galloped, after the short interval of waiting fdr my servant, of which I have spoken- Half an hoiir later we stood before Parson Dabney in the gray old vicarage, and a few moments afterward I had the right to call pretty Mistress Marget my wife. Then, a hurried kiss, a tear or two on Mistress Marget's part,, and we were an otu- way back to the hall, where Mistress Marget was to live on, the same as ever in all things save that slender gold band on her finger, until my return from the wars. And then—ah! sad for a man to leave his wife on the wedding eve —my body servant had summnneiLmy varlets and they waited for me outside in the.lane. I could but kiss my darling once more, ah me! but so tenderly and lovingly, see her safely up the ladder, withdraw it from beneath her window, wave her a last tender farewell—and now, beshrew me! but mine own eyes were wet— and take my departure. But before I crossed the foot-bridge once more I threw the stout stave that had served our turn so well far from me into the thick ol the hedge, and I once more clinked gold with old Simeon in order that he might be properly forgetful of all that had happened that night. Then the soft darkness of the ^ane* with the moon well under a kindly cloud, a sharp command to the waiting varlets. a tearing gallop until morning, and we were well up with Sir Reginald and hi3 men, and nothing but wars and fighting before us for many long months. But my heart was brave and lightsome within me, even though I had left my dear wife of an hour behind me. For it is easier, perhaps, to leave one's wife than one's sweetheart, especially when the sweetheart's father favors a richer man, and I knew, aleo. that I was a brave and skillful fighter, and I hoped that before Sir Regi nald pr I saw pretty Mistress Marget again his heart would have warmed toward me on this account. For Sir Reginald loves a brave man and a good fighter always. And la the end it all turned out even as I had hoped. —Chicago Ttibune.

V The directors of the Continental National bank of Chicago have voted unanimously in favor of increasing t h e capital stock pf $1,000,000, making it 13,000,000. Three of Chicago's oldest and largest basking institutions are t o be consolidated. The Corn Exchange National, the American National and the Northwestern National are to pool issues and reorganise under t h e charter of the Corn Exchange, retaining its title. President Ernest A. Hamil!,-of* the Corn Exchange bank, will be president ot the consolidated corporation. The new Corn Exchange National bank will have a capital stock of 12,000,000, a surplus of $1,000,000 and, undivided profits of $500,000. The Federal National bank of N e w York city is the proposed title of an institution for which the application has been approved by Acting Comptroller Kane. The proposed capital is $500,000, and the responsible applicant who has conducted the correspondence is Joseph T. Hall, the real estate man at 35 Nassau street. The other four incorporators required by law are Walter D. Johnson, broker; Charles A. O'Donohue, merchant; Percy B. O'Sullivan, and Jason C. Moore.

A man who denies that he Is prejudiced, but, claims that he is a good judge of feminine beauty, declares that there is scarcely a beautiful foot to be found among the women of today. The high heels, the exaggerated curve at the ball of the foot, the stiff heel stays and the pointed toes, he declares, have distorted the foot in a painful and ugly manner. The ankles are misshapen. In some cases the bones are enlarged until they bulge out so that every bone is perceptible. The weight of the body thrown upon the toes has caused them to spread out. Crowded into pointed toes, they stick up in clusters of knotty corns. The foot should be as shapely as the hand. Footwear s-hould fit as a glove fits the hand. The perfect foot is slender, with an arched instep and toes that He smoothly and easily. The first step toward acquiring a pretty foot is to wear shoes that fit it comfortably. The next is to take exercises that will render the toes strong and supple. Begin by spreading out the toes ^o the utmost extent; then hold four toes still and attempt t o move the remaining one. Every toe should be straighter and shorter than the next ono and the arch should be shapely and pliant. The feminine foot of today renders a graceful carriage an impossibility. And all because Dame Fashion- has decreed that a short, high-heeled, pointed-toe shoe is the correct thing in dressy footgear, forgetting that there never waa a human foot built that way. D o e s Klectrlclty Kill Trees? vNew Haven (Conn.) Special to Philadelphia Inquirer: Indignant citizens who desire to save the noble elms that are the pride of New Haven have threatened to bring suit against the trolley car companies of the city for alleged damages to the trees. The assertion is made that the trolley wires charged with electricity are in some streets held in place by connecting wires fastened to the trees, and that charges of electric fluid are sent into the trees, which are' thus killed. The trolley com%inies have sought to stave off damage suits by an offer to test tho scientific correctness of these assertions. Permission has been obtained from the department of public works and police supervision assured for the interesting experiment within the Every mother possesses information of vital value to her young daughter. That daughter is a precious legacy, and the responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the mother. # The mysterious change that develops the thoughts less girl into the thoughtful woman should find the mother on the watch day and night. As she- cares for the physical well-being of her daughter, so will tho woman be, and her children also. When the young girl's thoughts become sluggish, when she experiences headaches, dizziness, fakrtness, and exhibits an abnormal disposition to sleep, pains in the back and lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude, and a dislike for the society of other girls, when she is a mystery to herself and friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptly. At such a time the greatest aid to na.ture is Lydia E. Plnfcham's Vegetable Compound.

Great Britain, which has the smallest army of all the great powers, expends, roughly, $465 on each of her soldiers; Austria, with a war footing of over a million men, expends $225 per man. and Germany and France, the two military powers of Europe with the biggest armies, are equal with an individual outlay of $215. .„ Italy, with the second smallest army, spends $190 on every soldier, she maintains; and Russia's cost is estimated at $185.

THE WATER SUPPLY OF INDIA ,1 *•*ME country .of rivers is the country of droughts! Where rain is abun- I daut .the people lack water. Three glorious river systems bless India— the northeastern, the great Brahmaputra in its lead; the northwestern, Its famous Indus sweeping to the sea; the more central, with the broad Ganges which drains the slopes of the Himalayas themselves. Why, then, should India suffer drought and the people lack water? Because the country's surface does not readily admit of irrigation from the great rivers and because the rainfall is unsteady. Could the mighty floods of the Brahmaputra. Indus aud Ganges be made largely available for agriculture the scene would brighten. Did the rains fall steadily at brief intervals the difficulty would disappear, but th« great rivers take their imperial course, and the rains are centered in June-July and October-November. Seventy-five per cent of India's people cultivate the soil. Could one get a birdseye view of the land, it would be seen that the universal effort was for water in the fields. The uplands studded with tanks; the smaller rivers crossed by numberless dams; the beds of dry streams marked by water pits; wells everywhere on every hand. Save in the rainy seasons the contest is literally from day to day. By large buckets raised from wide, deep wells by oxen; by lesser buckets lifted by hand; by pailfuls brought from some ditch or reservoir, as well as by normal irrigation, the hundreds of millions of India combat drought. But when, for one rainy season, the rains are withheld the universal battle becomes instantly FOUND STARVING ON THE ROAD. one of life and death. If, for a twelvemonth, there are no showers, the people perish, and the struggle becomes impossible. The latest cablegram from the American consul at Bombay states that rains have ceased and crops are withering. Millions still face starvation. Let America maintain her splendid benevolence.

While nothing was given out for publication it is understood that America must either decide this question at once or proceed independently to reach a settlement. The U.

Moreover, i t has , gone farther, and has made a disclosure of all its purposes, and as a member of the administration puts it, it has thrown its hand open on the table. This action was taken after the cabinet meeting on the 21st, and a luncheon at the White House that followed, served to reduce the decision t o the ultimate form. Germany's demand for delivery to allies the Chinese leaders w a s disapproved, and it is thought that the attitude of the U. S. will result in the withdrawal of American troops.

The April sun shone w a r m , and the soft wind blew the yellow dust from the alder tassels t h a t h u n g a l o n g t h e brook side. Pussy willows had doffed their furry winter coats, a n d put on bright yellow o n e s for spring. T h e first butterfly—hi3 wings were bordered with yellow, too—sailed lazily from bush t o bush. H e was trying his wiug3 for the first t i m e after their long w i n - ter's rest. I looked down to see w h a t s i g n s of spring there were in the brook itself. A speckled trout darted up towafda the bridge. I followed him w i t h my eye, and as ho disappeared in a shadowy^ nook, I caught sight of a little dar>. creature clinging to a t w i g that dipped into the water. Going nearer, I saw that he w a s a stranger to m e , though I had thought I was acquainted w i t h all the brook folk. "Do you belong here?" I asked him. "Belong h e r e ! " he answered rather scornfully. "Where else could I belong, w h e n I w a s born in this very brook, a n d have lived here all my life!" I looked at hiui in wonder. Just then a little pollywog came wriggling along, and my n e w acquaintance thrust out a long arm, seized the pollywog, and swallowed it. "Well, sir," I said, "now that you have had that tidbit. I hope you will tell me s o m e t h i n g about yourself." - "Did you ever see a dragon-fly?" w a s his answer, which I thought very strange, a s I w a s not m a k i n g any inquiries about dragon flies. "Why, certainly," I replied. "Then y o u k n o w all about me," he said. "I'm a dragon fly; a larva, as the scientific folk call me. I am staying here only to pass the time a w a y till I shall h a v e two<pairs of w i n g s to fly off with. These are n o t good for much now"—and he indicated s o m e curious bits of w i n g s on the top of his back—"but they'll be all right by and by." I stared at him in astonishment. W a s it possible that the gorgeous dragon flies, t h e "living flashes of light," as T e n n y s o n calls them, were once ugly creatures, creeping about in t h e m u d ? "Well, don't you believe m e ?

Promptly on the first day of J u n e 1 made my way to the brookcide early in the morning. O n - s t o o p i n g down to pick a leaf of watercress, I heard a shrill voice: "I see y o u are on time.

"Immensely," she said with, a sigh. "Are you writing a poem?" "Nothing could possibly be more prosaic!" "Then I may be able to help you," I suggested. "Certainly not!" she exclaimed, and she instantly covered her sheet of paper with the blooting-pad. "That." she added, "would be too ridiculous. At all events," she insisted, "I must write the letter myself." •"^Vhom is it for?" I ventured to ask. "Lord. Carflelcl, whom I met at the Traceys' at Newport. "I wasn't aware you corresponded," I suggested. "Oh, we don't. At least, he has never written to me before," she answered, "And you find Lord Carfield" letter difficult to answer?" I asked. Winnie sat with her right elbow on the edge of the blotting pad, her eyes fixed on the window, a charming air of self-consciousness cm her small face. A tress of her hair fell'forward over her forehead, which was still wrinkled "Suppose you let me tell you what to say." I proposed, standing with a hand on her chair. "Oh, I know what to sny " "Then where's. your difficulty?" I demanded. "At least I think I do—only I don't know how to put it," "Well you see, that's where I might come in." "It has nothing—nothing in the world to—to do with you," she said, rising impulsively. "I'm not quite sure of that"— "But I am perfectly sure," she insisted. "iNow, if you were to talce'me into your confidence as far as to show me Lord Carfield's letter" "Of course I shall do nothing of —the" Tkhiennd ,"I smhue str ettoryrt etdo. guess ita contents" "You could never guess!" cried Winnie decidedly. "He wishes you to marry him," I said. Winnie turned upon me with an expression of complete surprise. "Why how did you know that?" she exclaimed with a fine flush. "Lord Carfield has really asked you to marry him?" I asked. "Isn't it a nuisance'?' she cried, lifting her eyebrows with an air of extreme perplexity. "Well, that's all right." T said. "What is?" she demanded. 'So that you think it's a nuisance?" '"Well, it is," she answered. "All my people are bothering me about it. They want me to" "They don't want you to marry the man!" I cried. "They insist there's no reason why I shouldn't," said Winnie, with a harassed expression. *TTh, but there's the most excellent reason," I urged. "Oh, do tell me what it is!" she pleaded more hopefully. "I said I could help you." "But how?" she cried. "Take a fresh sheet of paper and a new nib," I suggested, "then I'll dictate your answer. Now; then," I dictated, "Dear Lord Carfield' " "I've put that." " 'Thank you very much' " "Oh, I can't begin that way," the objected. "Well," I said, "we'll try again. 'Dear Lord Carfield. I am deeply honored by your request'" Winnie put the end of her pen between her teeth and turned toward me with a -doubtful air. "You know," sh said, "I don't real ly feel honored at all." "Of cotfr«o not. It's a mere matter of form. Now, then, we're not getting on. I am deeply honored by your request, but I regret to tell you' "—— "I mvst know what I'm going to tell him fl'.st," cried Winnie, pausing agr,;?}. ' "1 regret to tell you that I am unable to consider it' " — ' "But 1 did—very seriously," she insisted. "Oh. well." I said, "of course, it you really care for tiie f e l l o w " — "Well?" she cried provokingly. "Why, you may as well write the letter without my interference." "That's ^ h a t I told you at first!*' said Winnie triumphantly. "I think I shall say good-by," I returned, and I took my hat from the table. "Good-by," she said, with a careless nod, as I stepped toward the door, 'That will be the second sheet of paper I've wasted!" she cried. You're going to write another, then?" I suggested. , "You might post it for me—I s'laif' be two minutes," and taking «er yw i she began to write at a great pace. When Bhe had finished she carefully blotted the letter and directed an envelope. "You might like to read It?" she suggested, on the point of sealing it. The contents were barely two lines, asking Carfield to call at 4 o'clock the following day. 'Will that do?" she asked. "I think mine would have been better?" I said. "Now suppose you sit down again and finish my letter then we can compare notes, you know, and I'll post which you please." "Very well," she assented, and she sat down and took her pen again. "Where were we?" I asked. " 'Dear Lord Carfield, I am deeply honored by your request, but I regret to tell you that I am unable to consider it'—that's all we-ve done," said Winnie, looking up with an expectant expression.. 'Because" ,"Yes, I've written that." "Because I am already engaged to be married to"- Winnie threw down her pen, making a large blot on the pad. "I didn't know you were making a joke of it!" she cried, indignantly, "I'm not," I insisted. "You are telling me to write nonsense." "You never wrote anything half so sensible in your life," 1 assured her. "Besides, it isn't true," she said. "Not vet," I answered, "and you haven't finished the letter. Now, suppose you finish t." Wnnie took up the pen again. " 'Because I am already engaged to be married to Mr. Arthur" "Oh, this is dreadful!" she murmured, bending low over the paper. " 'To Mr. Art'JSr Everest,' " I said. "Now all you hare, to do is to remain his very truly, or very sincerely, and sign your name." So Winnie signed her name; then she leaned back in her chair and stared hard at what she had written. I drew a chair to her side and sat down. "And now?" I suggested. 'And now?" I suggested. "Of course", she continued, "it isn't likely I could send him a letter of that.kind." '.'Still, it contains the truth," I hint^ ed. "It says that I am engaged to be married," she said, "and of course I am nothing of the kind." "You will be, Winnie!" "Some day, perhaps." ^Tn-rtny is as grind as another." I ^ - - w j r * ' urged. "And to somebody," she added. "If it comes to that," I insisted, "I am better than any one else!" .

LoutltroKo's Theory of t h e O i i g i n of Kfnning According to Professor Cesare Lombroso, the distinguished Italian criminologist, kissing is quite a modern practice and originated in a very curious manner. The kiss, as a token of affection, was unknown to the old Greeks, and neither in Homer nor in Heriod do we find any mention of it. Hector did not kiss his Andromache when he bade her farewell, neither did Paris press his lips to those of the beauteous Helen, and Ulysses, who was more of a cosmopolitan than any man of his day, never dreamed of kissing the enchanted Circe, and when after long wanderings he returned home to his spouse, Penelope, he satisfied himself with putting one of his stalwart arms around her waist and drawing her to him. The people of Terra del Fuego, says Lombroso have taught civilized nations the origin of the delightful art of kissing. Drinking vessels are unknown in that count) y, and the people, when they are thirsty, simply lie 'down beside brooks and drink the water as is flows by them. It is evident however, that infants could not satisfy their thirst in this primitive fashion and therefore their mothers have for ages supplied them with water by Ailing their own mouths first and t.ion letting it pass through their lips into the expectant mouths of their little ones. In some places the banks of the brooks and rivers are so high thai water cannot be obtained in the usual way and the mothers in such places draw It up through long reeds. Birds feed their young ones in a similar manner. They first fill their own mouths with water and .then transfer it to the wide open months of the little ones. This very ancient maternal practice, is according to Lombroso. the only source, to which the modern practice of kissing can, be traced. The custom of pressing one mouth to another originated with the women in Terra del Fuego, who couW only supply their infants with 'drtnsr in this manner, and it is presumable that they learned the lesson from the birds. Finally, we are told that kissing is an evidence of atavism and a memorial of that early stage in our development "during which the wife had not yet triumphed over the mother nor love over maternity." Lorabroso's views on this subject meet with the general approval of scientists, though there are sorne who point out that his explanation of the origin of kissing is not in accordance wth the one handed down to us by the old Romans. These latter raantained that the kiss was Invented by husbands, who desired to ascertain in this way whether during their absence from home their wives had been drinking their wine or not. EASILY DONt. How Two Men Travelled ou a Ticket for a Man and Ills WiTe. "It was a slick trick, and it worked/* said a well-known conductor who runs in here, in telling of an incident of his last trip down to this place. "Just before we left Dallas," said he, "I noticed a young lady and two young men get on the train and when I came through a little later to colect the tickets, found them sitting together in a double seat. When I stopped at their Beat the man sitting next to the aisle handed me two tickets, one for a man and wife and a single ticket to Galveston. I took them, thinking nothing of it, but on passing back and forth through the car several times after that I noticed that the man and wife did not seem to be getting along very well together; in fact, their actions toward each other would lead one to believe they v \ r e perfect strangers, and during the day their actions became more and more noticeable until my suspicions began to be aroused, but I held my peace until almost here, when, finding the one who had' handed me the tickets alone in the smoking compartment. I asked him if something was not wrong, whereui on he 'fessed up' and frankly told me the whole story. "He said he and the young man sitting opposite to his when he handed me the tickets were from Kansas City, who having lost their positions in that city, had started to come south to see if they could find something to do down here in Texas, and that they had gotten as far a? Dallas when their money gave out, and having been assured of getting positions in Galveston, wanted to come on here. One of them by getting in a day and a half's work, had made $3. but as that would not bring them here they were in as bad a plight as before. The next d.iy however, they hapyened to droc into a ticket broker's office, but the onlv thing-he had in the way of tickets .to Galvston was one for a man and wife. After consulting with each other thoy hit upon a plan and decided to take the ticket, paying their $3 for it. They then went to the depot and hung around the ticket window until they saw a voung woman buv a ticket for- Kat w h a t f t * Ilk*. Bat as you like. Keep ttronff by taking Knill's Dyspepsia Tableti.

There being no blacksmith in that region. I ho rums sent to Cape Town and got the mr.t'.u'- ials to build, and ;he tools and implements to supply a smithy. They got a blacksmi:h to act as lheir tu'or, and thus learned how to become blacksmiths. Finding that blacksmithing was profitable work, they built a larger smithy with a brick forge, a strong capacious bellows of ox-hide and nil the customary paraphernalia incidental to the business, and established themselves as a convent of female blacksmiths. • • • • ^ EUREKA SURE STOP TOOTHACHE POWDERS Gives quick and sure relief.

Officials charged with the duty of carrying out requirements of t h e laws have no right for showing partially in the discharge of their duty. F o r them to tolerate violations by the saloon keeper, b u t to prosecute the merchants and the laborer, is an unjust and unwarrantable discrimination, pernicious as an example and subversive of law a n d order as as a principle.

Berlin bad nearly a million visitors last year, while Vienna had only 387,- 000 and Hamburg 278,960. Love is the wondrous angel of life that rolls away all the stones of sorrow and suffering from the pathway of duty. It takes a lifetime of experience to teach as that we are our own best friend; that we are our own worst enemy we never learn. Nothing simplifies life like obedi* ence. We sometimes think we are beset by problems, that life is a very difficult and complicated affair. It is not really so. All life is simply doing or bearing the will of God. Tiiere is never more than one duty for one moment. The pressure of trade competition during the last decade has prompted Great Britain to utilize an extraordinary method of* impressing foreign traders with her superiority. The new scheme is to scatter broadcast over the commercial world British experts in matters of trade to lecture on British manufactures in every important commercial center of the Clobe. A high official in Porto Rico say* that eighteen months ago there were known to he three thousand cases of smallpox on the island; in the past eightmonths not a single death from the disease has been reported to tho board of health. What has wrought the change? The answer may be read in the fact that the names of nearly eight hundred thousand persons are recorded on the vaccination list of the board. According to , reports of a French geological exploring expedition in western Algeria, that country possesses a petroleum bearing basin rich in oil, and resembling in its geological structure the petroleum beds of Galida and Baku. Our consul at Marseilles, Mr. Skinner, reports that several companies have already made application to the French government for permission to drive wells in this newly discovered petroleum district. Not long ago an Arizona ranchei posted the following notice on a Cottonwood tree, not far from his place of Abode. "My wife Sarrah has left my ranch when I didn't Do a thing to her, and I want it distinkly understood that any Man as takes her in and Keers for her on my account, will get himself Pumped so Full of Led that some tenderfoot will locate him for a mineral claim. A word to the wise is sufficient and orter work on fools." The duel in Italy has been very deadly of late. -It is estimated that during the past year 2,400 duels were fought In the kingdom, which yielded a crop of 480 deaths. Tie Chinese way of "getting even" is more civilised on the whole. The enraged inhabitant of the celestial empire is as likely as not to commit suicide on his enemy's doorstep, in order to do him as great an injury as possible. And a suicide under those circumstances in China really does throw the foe into a terrible flunk, owing to the supposed bad luck such an incident brings to the householder. According to recent experiments by Stanilas Tetard, a widely known French agriculturist, wheat and other cereals can be protected against the ravages of crows, which are particularly fond of the grain when its sprouts are just pushing above the ground, by treating the seeds before they are sown with a mixture of coal-tar, petroleum and phenic acid. This treatment, which delays the growth of the seed for a day or two, but causes no damage, imparts an odor which is insufferable to the crows, but which disappears after the sprouts have attained a larger growth, when they are no longer subject to attack. f- It is known that many deep sea animals are phosphorescent In a high degree, and Mr. C. C. Nutting, discussing this phenomenon in the American Naturalist, maintains that the quantity of light emitted by such animals is so great as to supply over definite areas of the sea bottom a sufficient illumination to render visible the colors of tho animala themselves. Some cephalopoda are furnished with apparatus which reflects the light from their phosphorescent bodies upon the sea bottom over which they float. This reflecting apparatus is spoken of as "an efficient bull's-eye lantern for use is hunting through the abyssal dart- THE COAL MINERS' STRIKE (Chances That If Will Be of Short Duration Cause of the Strike The present strike in the coal regions of Pennsylvania is a result, of contention over the arbltratioa of a point in dispute between miners .and operators. The miners demanded an increase in wages and the employers refused. The miners then asked for arbitration. This was not refused, but its acceptance was delayed and the strike was called. In the meantime the price of hard coal has gone up from $6 to $7 and may go as high as $15. The operators claim to have sufficient coal on hand to supply the winter's demand. But the Btrike will probably end In a few weeks. Many ugly rumors are being put in circulation to the effect that the strikers are being made the victims of a political trick by their leaders and JOHN MITCHELL. (President of the united Mine Workers.) the big politicians. Another casue assigned for it is that it is a scheme between the leaders on both sides of the controversy to raise the price of coal and wages at the same time. Whether or not there is an element of truth in any of these rumors remains to be seen. The following accounts of the development of the strike come from newspaper correspondents in the regions affected. Number of Men Ont. '"' The anthracite coal miners' strike has started in the four great districts which supply practically ail the^hard coal of the world. President John Mitchell asserts that he has repports showing 112,000 men are out, and that more will join the strikers1 ranks within a few days. The operators, on the other hand, declare that while many men are out, the United Mine Workers' union has not made the showing it promised, and that the miners cannot hold out long ior lack of funds and because they cannot stop all operations. The hard coal region is divided into four great districts—the Lackawanna, Wyoming, Lehigh and Schuylkill regions. In the first two, representing nearly 90,000 men, the tie-up is practically complete. Only one mine employing a few hundred men is being operated, and this the strikers say they hope to close soon. In Lehigh Region. In the Lehigh region the situation Ts districts, and the strike was not general among the upward of 50,000 men employed. Indications point to the closing of some mines in the last named district despite the assertions of officials of the Philadelphia und Reading Coal and Iron company and other companies operating the region that they will continue their collieries in operation. . ~— / A Strike Without Violence. With the exception of a trivial incident at No. 3 colliery of the Lehigh Coal company, where a gang of boys compelled a mule driver to seek cover by throwing stones at him. the contest thus far has been devoid of violence. The exact number of men who struck cannot ut this time be told, as only estimates of the number of men who did not start work were made. Reports received by the. United Mine Workers' officials from the entire anthracite region were to them satisfactory. In this territory, known as District No. 7, there are 16,000 men employed in and about the mines. Of this number it is conservatively estimated that about 50 per cent, or 8,000 miners, obeyed the order of President Mitchell to quit work. Five thousand of these belong to collieries which did not work at all and the remaining 3,- 000 to mines which worked short handed. Operators Make Report. The operators, in a formal statement, declare that conditions throughout the anthracite region are as follows: Shanjokin region; Mineral Railroad and Mining company—Cameron colliery, working; Luke Fidler colliery, working.

Reynolds No. 16 and Maxwell—Idle. Susquehanna Coal company—Nanticoke, idle; Glen Lyon, idle. All other collieries in the Wyoming region are reported idle. At St. Louis anthracite coal jumped fifty cents higher in the St. Louis market, making a total advance of fifty cents per ton since the strike began. The price there is now $7.75 per ton. Local dealers say the price of coal has been advanced to them by the eastern mine operators and that they are compelled to raise the prices. At New York coaPjumped to $6.50 a -ton. How" much higher it will go no operator or dealer was willing to venture a prediction.

A sheriff's posse tired ou a crowd of riotous men near Shenandoah, Pa., on the 21st, killing three per sens and wounding 15 others. .Sheriff Teole and Deputies O'Donnell and Brenamau were called to Shenandoah to suppress the mobs that threatened mine workers and colliery property. Three deputy sheriffs and a small posse whom the sheriff had summoned on the ground went to the Indian Ridge colliery of the Reading Co. to escort the workingraeu to their homes. The colliery is located a short distance east of Shenandoah. The workmen left for home shortly after 4 o'clock. They walked up the middle of the street and reached the Lehigh Valley railroad station. Here had gathered a large crowd of Poles, Slavs and HUBS, men, women and children, who lined both sides of the street; A shot rang out from a saloon. This was follewed by a shower of stones. Many of the crowd had picked up sticks and stones and were acting in a threatening manner. Seeing this the sheriff, who bad previously cautioned his men to keep cool and not use their firearms, commanded them to fire. The order was obeyed with terrible results. The crowd pursued the sheriff and his posse to the Ferguson house, where they took refuge. The deputies fired over 50« shots, and the mob hurled missiles of all kinds. During the riot windows were broken, buildings were wrecked aud a number of persons were injured. Roosevelt's Letter of Acceptance. Gov. Theodore Roosevelt's letter of acceptance was given to the public on the 17th. In accepting the Republican vice-presidential nomination Mr. Roosevelt says he does so with a deep sense of honor. He deals with the 16 to 1 policy, the trusts, the expansion -question and the Filipino problem. B A S E B A L L .

It was terribly galling, but until she came of age there was no help for It. Well, the only thing to do was to make the beet of things, and be as happy as <Ureuinstances would permit But this was easier said than done; there was not a soul in Chalfont she liked or . trusted, aad time hung heavily on her hands, for she could not always be with the Aastruther's, even had madame allowed it, and no ono else came near them. Madame, had she known It, was in rather a difficulty. She greatly valued the Anstruthers' acquaintance, making a point of stopping to speak whenever she met them in Reverton, and hoping those who kept aloof from Chalfont would observe it; but, strange to say, she had forgotten Reggie, who, indeed, was not often at home, p.nd now Kate had aroused her suspicions she was much perplexed. She had her own plans for Mollie and if it came to a choice between them and the Anstruthers' friendship, she must reluctantly abandon their friendship. Mollie soon found the difference; she was never left alone for a minute. Wa3 she going into Reverton, madame was going also, or Henri would accompany her; there was nothing he would enjoy more. "What do you thVk of Henri, Joyce?" asked Mollie the Saturday afternoon preceding Easter Sunday, when she had managed to evade both the Dubois, and, talcing Kate to put a wreath on their mother's grave, had gone on to the White house. The White house was not so large as Chalfont, but it had a beautiful old garden, and the two girls were wanderiig up and down the sheltered paths, while Kate took a A>lemu, dignified ride on the old sv/ing under the trees that had recalled to Mollie her childhood days. "He WJS very pleasant the few times he has been here," Joyce responded doubtfully, pausing to look at the yellow daffodils, the sweet-scented Jonquils thr.t lifted their he?ds from tho dark mould. "But do you like htm, Mollie?" "I am afraid not,"' said she, thoughtlully. "You see, Joyce dear, he acts yj strangely. He pretends to me that he loves England and the country, and 1 know he loves nothing but his beloved ^ails. Yesterday he insisted upon accompanying me for a country walk, and madam said nothing, though j/hc was angry when Reggie went with me to get moss. I know he hated it, for he had on French patent leather boots, and really could hardly limp home; and then, as I was eolng upstairs, I heard him swearing awfully —to-himself as he pulled them off. But ho paid me compliments all the time, ftnd he tells me that he adores 'le ^port,' but he does not understand a gun, and he dare not drive the cheatnuts, I know. And—and I cannot help thinking that because 1 shall have money " She looked "at Joyce, wistfully, and Joyce not wishing to meet those sweei gray eyes a t the moment, contemplated the daffodils, while she rapidly turned over in her own mind how to answer. Reverton both" said and thought a great deal about the inmates of Chalfont that it would be a srext pity for Mollie to know. For good or evil she was unfortunately in Madam Dubois' care at present; therefore why make her feet more uncomfortable than was necessary. That Henri was paying court to the heiress seemed likely enough; her fortune would be a Urge one to a Frenchman; and that her own darling, handsome Reggie had more than a liking for the loyely, slender girl herself was equally true. Raising her eyes from the flowers, Joyce caught sight of both young men advancing towards them, and Reggie called*out: "I have brought you a visitor, Joyce. Mollie, come and have a swing with the child, f o r j h e sake of old Jang syne." They all turned back together to the spot where Kate was slowly swinging herself to and fro. But Joyce felt far from comfortable a s -she stood with the young Frenchman watching ths half-^iaters, as Reggie's strong, brown hand on the rope sent them flying up and down—Mollie's pink-and-white face like the spring day itself; Kate's flaxen curls floating on the breeze. It was a pretty picture enough of youth, and, perhaps, looking at two of the faces, of love. But Henri did n o . teem to appreciate it as ho stood fiercely twisting his silky little black moustache, while h!s sharp blp.ck eyo3 roved from one to the other, and his remarks grew fewer and fewer. "I shall have a swing put up in my grounds," unnounced Kate condescendingly, a s they came to a full stop. "Mother had one made near the tennis- lawu," said Mollie, pushing back her. rebellious curls, and fastening her hat. "Oh, that is not good enough," retorted the child, her deep-set ^ r a y eyes fixed on her sister with cool insolence. "Chalfont is ray property, and I shall have everything done that I like." Reggie took his hnnd off the ropes with a muttered exclamation that sounded not unlike "little beast." and asked Mollie to come down to look at the tennis court, and as" Henri seamed determined to go also, Joyce disregarded her brother's appealing eye, and watched them off, for she had noticed the sudden iiush on Mollje's face. She knew how tenderly the girl regarded everything her mother had done, and in some wrath determined to have a word with the vain-glorious owner cf Chalfont, whom, indeed, she would dearly have enjoyed shaking. Kate was looking after the retreating trio with rather a disconcerted expression, for her sharp ears had caught Reggie's remark, and she liked Reggie; her boasting had been principally to impress him with her importance. "Every one seoms to like Mollie!" the said crossly. "I suppose it is because she 13 a I/Estrange; Jane and Harriet say so. Though I think it is horribly mean of the Reverton people not to call on us, and make such a fuss over her, for, as Jane often says, I am the heircoa and mistress of Chalfont, and much richer than Mollie." "1 will tell you why every one likes Mollie," replied Joyce, regarding the Btylishly arrayed little imp severely. "It is not alone because she is very pretty, but because she^is always pleasant and sunny. Who ever heard Mollie say biting and unkind things on purpose to hurt people, or boasting about her possessions?" , "I suppose you mean that I do." And Kate sat still on the swing, and flung her curls bsck with an angry gesture. "Yet Mollie has got some money, you know, of Aunt Clare would not make such a fuss of her. Harriet says that she is sure she meant; to marry her to Henri; 1 heard her. But Jane says that with my persttion I ou&ht to marry a tide; and 1 intend to." And having delivered fieYseii of these sentiments in her high childish voice she pushed the swing off with one thin, black-siik-stuckinged les. "Who arc Jane and Harriet?" asked Joyce shortly. "My servants." "Oh! A3id when you marry this nobleman, suppose you have two dear little girls, you will naturally leave this property to the younger?" "Certainly not; chat would not be fair. I should leave the most to the elder, or divide it." Kate had begun with lofty eioquence, then she caught Joyce's eye, and, being a very quick child, saw the pit into which she had fallen, and stopped abruptly. "You think Mollie has not been properly treated? The people in Reverton think so," she ended, below her breath. "Thai has nothing to do with us, Kate," Joyce said gravely. "But if you can see this, perhaps—though you are so young—you can also see how well Mollie behaves. She does not grudge you anything; though Chalfont was her home before you were born. She never says bitter things to you. yet who has the most reason? I wonder you don't love her!" Joyce never forgot the strange old look on the little thin face, as the child glanced at her after a dead pause. There wa3 something both sad and weird about it; she might have been a hundred, with all the cares of life on her small shoulders, and looking at her Joyce remembered with a wave of compassion that she was but 10, and, if report said true, her life had never been as other chlldren'3. She had been a tiol in her fathei's hands from bi:th: she was one in her aunt's now. Spoiled from policy, neglected from want cf affection, left to the care of ignorant servants, who flattered her for their own ends and rilled her head with nonnense, what chance had the unfortunate little hcircs? had? < "Cone along," she said^ holding out her hand to the silent child, "I see my mother beckoning to us from the drawing room window; let us run and call the others in for some tea." CHAPTER V. The White House was one of the most comfortable of homes; no dissension was ever heard there. The very servants, who bad been, in Mrs. Anstruther'8 service for years, seemed to share the prevailing harmony of contentment, and took a pride in serving the family faithfully. And Mollie could not but notice the difference as, after a somewhat quiet walk home along the country road that separated the two houses by about a mile, the gates of Chalfont had clanged to behind them, and a morose-looking maid opened the hall door. No household could have been happy under Madame Dubois' tyrannical rule, Mollie had quite made up her mind to that; and also another point—namely: That both mother and son were to be kept at arm's length; that she was a L'Estrange, and could not—could not —stantl them! And she had walked home in a ferment of indignation because Henri, after all the rebuffs she had given him, had actually dared to call her "Mollee" before the Anstruthers and a few vlstors who had come in, and assumed airs of proprietorship as he marched them home. So as Kate skipped off after the sulky-looking maid, sh^ turned abruptly to the young man, who was lounging in the doorway furtively watching her with a faint cynical smile in his round black eye3. She was but a school girl, this young English mees, tilt she was adorably pretty, with a skin—ah, such lovely white skin— what would notjCelestine or Lucie give for it! "Monsieur Dubois." she said gently, fixing her clear gray eye3 upon his dark face, "now my half-sister is gone I wish to speak to you—to remind you that we are mere acquaintances, and to such I am not 'Mollie,' but Miss L'Estrange. I am sorry you have forced me to mention this. I hoped that you understood it." For a moment they stood facing each other, but her eyes never quailed before his; she had spirit and courage, this mere school girl, he recognized, yet a very evil look came into his face for a second ere he replied: "And why for not, mademoiselle; you are my mother's ward, and that long-legged Anstruther he calls you what he please, doesn't he?" "The Anstruthers are old family friends," she said hurriedly. "But ii is not. a subject to argue. I limply state my wishes, which I feel sure you will respect." "Do not be too confident/' he muttered bet^^een his teeth. "It is possible that I may resent being treated worr,e than this other fellow—" "You have no right to resent, anything, monsieur," she interrupted, with a haughty gesture. "I am alone here, but I can appeal to Madame Dubois, as 1 am in her care." And she paused irresolutely as his mocking laugh #dl upon her ear. "Eah. mademoiselle, she lives but. for me!" he said, with veiled insolence. "I am master here." It was true Mollie's heart w?s beatinjr uncomfortably fast; the prospect looked gloomy; but she had plenty of spirit, and Henri's whole manner was so detestable that her pride came to her aid and stilled her fears. "If I am not treated with ordinary politeness, and allowed to live in peace, I shall complain to my trustees," she retorted, with flashing eyes. "Of no use at all." he returned, wirh a sweeping bow. Then, coming closer and laying a small claw-like hand on her arm.: "See here. Mol-lee, you are in my mother's power absolutely for twi years, and she has an awful temper when opposed. You had better be friends with me. I, Henri Dubois-. o.Tec ycu my friendship." Mollie shrank from his touch, from the sound of his thin, false voice, with unutterable loathing, realizing, poor child! with terrible distinctness that, like the man in the parable, she had fallen among thieves; theu .*ho drew back, throwing un her head with a scornful je:k, while her knees trembled so much that she leaned back .ignickt. the door for support. <r "You have again disregarded* D?:> wisbes, monsieur." And by a great effort she spoke firmly. "I have nothing more to say." And she went down the.stcrs into the garden. (To be Continued.) Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is Especially Successful in Curing this Fatal Woman's Disease. Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment i s applied, the weary patient seldom survives. Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham, early in her career, gave exhaustive study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman's ills —Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound—was careful to see that i t contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in harmony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the only one especially prepared for women. The following letters will show how marvellously successful it i s : Aug. 6, 1899. *• D^A.B MRS.

J^T Clever Tricks Employed to HnUm a I.I vine Out of Hotel* Without i uylu? Most persons are willing to see ihelr names in print, but theve is one paper published in New York to appear in which means more than disgrace. It is called "The Hotel Debtor Registor," and is published at 29 East Forty-second street. While its circulation is private, it is more or less extensive. It reaches the managers of nearly every hotel in the country. The object of the Register is to warn hotel proprietors against the type of "guest" who believes in enjoying the best of life without paying for it. Don't imagine that the non-payment of a debt at a hotel is forgotten. Your name goes abroad, no matter how small the amount you owe or what your intentions were in avoiding payment. But this is not the only means employed by hotel management to protect itself. Nearly every large hotel has an efficient detective force. The chief detective of on of the largest and finest hotels in th world, situated in this city, has described some of his experiences for the Sunday World. "You have no idea," he said, "how many persons come to this hoiel for the purpose of doingMt. There are all sorts of dodges employed by clever persons to make their living out of hotels without payment. "John Smith will come here, for instance, and engage a room. He will hand over the counter a couple of baggage checks and ask to have his trunks brought up from the station. Mr. Smith dresses in the latest style. and has the outward appearance of a multimillionaire. "He will be shown to his room. He will then casually ask the bell-boy to conduct him to the dining-room. The boy complies. Mr. Smith will order an elaborate dinner, charge it to his room and then—walk out of the hotel. The trunk checks are bogus. "Another smart trick is for a man to rush mto the hotel from an adjoining store. His hat will be off, and he • ii VL|^ftiH nave the appearance of a cleric in 1 o » " r t h e 8 t o r e H e n a g ie a r n e c i the name of the store manager, and he will say: " 'We have a check for $50 in the store and are short of change. The banks are closed. Mr. Jones, our manager, asked me to see if you would cash-it.' "Usually the, clerk at the hotel desk gives an affirmative answer, and the man goes out for the apparent purpose of getting the check from the manager. In five minutes he returns, presents his check and gets it cashed. This is a time-honored performance—and yet it often succeeds. "A rather elaborate scheme which Is often worked is the following: A man comes and puts up for a day or two, He is seen often in the lobby, spends, considerable money in the cafe, and then goes away, paying his bill. In a few days he returns. The clerk whose acquaintance he has made welcomes him back. He remains this time a week and auietj.y slips off .with .a Pis For Sale. A good milch cow 6 years old, due to calve Oct. 1. Inquire of A. Straith 4 mile east of Birkett. »111111.11.» ^ w p X bill unsettled. W* t r u a i la » U or oifc books or worthless Articles. "Few hotels will cash check* now for guests, 1>ut sometimes we *et b*41y caught for large amounts. "A well-known traveling salesman came here not long ago and got $600. The check was good only for $60, another cipher having been added to the number. We had cashed similar checks for him before, and supposed the one he presented to be all right. "Some of the worst hotej beats are wealthy persons. Somehow they hate to pay a bill. They'll go off without payment, and it is only after we have threatened exposure that we are ab.e to extract our money. "Then there are the impersonators of well-known men. They have earda engraved with the names of bankers and rich railroad and mining men. Their make-up is modelled on that of their originals. We are often taken in by impostors of this description—bui sometimes they meet their Waterloo. "A man came here not long ago who said he was a well-known mine owner from Helena, Mont. As luck would have it, the mine owner himself was staying at the hotel and was well known to the clerk. We captured the impostor promptly and he is now 'doing time.* "No end of meals are obtained for nothing, and it is difficult to keep proper check on the dining-room without giving offense. "It may be incredible, but It is true, that many of the hotel swindlers are or are thought to be—high-class persons. They have no means to live up to their tastes, and seem willing to sacrifice even their honor to satisfy their aDnetUes." K e e p Clear of (inpen, Keep chicks on clean ground, and they will escape gapes. Gapes seldom appear on new locations. It is on the old farms, on ground that has been occupied for years by poultry, that gapes destroy so many chicks. As a precaution, scatter air-slacked lnne freely over the ground again. If a gill of spirits of turpentine be thoroughly mixed with each peck of lime ti will be an advantage. By so doing the gapes may be prevented. If lice are suspected, examine the hen first, as all lice on the chicks come from the hen. If lice are found, dust the hen and chicks with fresh Dalmatian insect-powder, holding them downward so as to get it well into the feathers, and rub a few drops of melted lard well into the skin of the heads and necks. Of course, their quarters must be cleaned of lice. also. This may be done by sponging the boxes well with coal-oil. touching a lighted match to it and allowing (he fire to run over the boxes, both inside and outside. Then dust the boxes well with insect-powder and examine them frequently.— C. F. Fox, in The Market Basket. A html I I X C o w * . The cow must not be abused either by word or action, and it is the duty ot the dairyman to see that she is not. if he abuses her he is not fit to own her. If the hired man abuses her punish the hired man, and to do that make a contract with him at the beginning that if he abuses the cow he shall not only suffer dismissal but shall forfeit a portion of his monthly wages. Many cows are injured by abuse, for a rap on the spine or on the udder may inflict great damage. Prof. Willard has said that he always insists that the milker study the disposition of the cows under his charge; that ho become familiar or acquainted with each animal, patting them, or in othei ways making them understand that he is friendly and fond of them. When once their confidence has been obtained in this way they will exhibit affection in return, and will yield in the Increased quantity of milk more than snough to pay for the time and trouble Siven to the purpose indicated. Some cows are extremely nervous and excitable; such require caution and al- :ention in management, otherwise :hey soon become worthless tor the dairy.—Dairyman. L. H. F I E L D . Jackson, Mich.

SUNDAY SCHOOL AS30 CI ATI01C. Haabarg Township Sunday Schools meet at lorta Hambarg. On Sunday afternoon last the Sunday schools of Hamburg township met at the North Hamburg church and held a regular annual m eeting of their assoiation. The church was crowded and the program was carried out as published in last week's issue of the DISPATCH. Every paper read was excellent and the discussion which followed brought out much good. The only thing lacking perhaps was the want of time to discuss the papers and Sunday school work more thoroughly. Special music was furnished by Walla Cook and Erwin Ball, and a recitation by Miss Bern ice Greer, all of which served to enliven the occasion. A great effort is being made to organize the township of the county more thoroughly and get all' into working line. . There is certainly much need of more thorough work in the Sundy schools of the county and every fath ir and mother are requested to their share towards bringing the children into the schools.

The exhibits were fine—in fact the sheep exhibit contained about 70 more sheep than at the state fair. The floral hall was a great attraction for the ladies as it was full of fancy work of the'finest kind. The floral parade each day was one of the finest ever seen in the state.

IA bulletin of the UnKod States d*3- tpartmewt of agriculture says: Crimson clover (trlfolittm iucarnatiuu), also known as scarlet clover, German clover* Utalian clover and carnation clover, is an annual plant, natlFe to ; southern Europe, and has long been cultivated aa a. forage croji _1IL the. warmer portions of that ccoiatry.

Wliile requiring a warm climate, it will not endure severe drouth. Crimson clever has come into prominence in this country within comparatively recentr years." It can hardly be regarded as a saaeeessful crop outside of the region from New Jersey, west to the Alleghany mountains and south <to ea-stam Tennessee and Texas.

In the middle and. south Atlantic states this clover is one of the beet crops that can be grown for forage and so:l rs novation.

Some writers for farm papers have declared that it was a mistake for termers to allow the manufacture of milk into butter and cheese to leave the farm. It may have .been so in some particular cases which these critic* had in their "mind's eye," but aectnding to my experience oieamsrUa, Wiien established in localities that within reaching distance to keep thorn ' have a sufficient number of farmers running to their full capacity the year round, are a benefit to their patrons, and reasonably profitable to their owners'. If it was a mistake to permit the manufacture of butter and cheese to leave the farm, why was it not a mi *- take to permit the manufacture of wool, and flax into clcth, to leave the farm? There are people still living who can remember the time when the hand cards, for carding wool, the big wheel for spinning the rolls, or , , bats," the reel for reeling the yarn from the spindle, the quill-wheel for putting the yarn on "quills" for the shuttle, the loom for weaving the clcth, and the dye tub for coloring, could be found in nearly every house. It was the same with flax which was "roted." broken In a "break," swingled, ha.tcheled, spun on a little wheel, and woven in a hand loom on the farm. The argument against creameries is equally effectual against all manufacturing establishments and labor-saving machines, and would, if carried cut. slowly lead us back to the rude implements of barbarism. Why did the farmers permit the rare ' \g machines, the spinning jacks and the power looms to drive thom oirt t,t the business ot making cloth? It v,as because machinery driven by water or steam power could do.the work so much faster and cheaper than it •was possible to do it on the farm. It is the same with the manufacture of m'lk Into butter and cheese. As a rule, it can be done more quickly, better and cheaper at t"e faetorleiv. Tliera Is no question that people who are constantly doing but one thins become expert In doing it. Seme farmers and their wives caa make just as good butter as the creamery men. but that ,all do not do it, is proven by the (higher price the creamery butter bringB in all the markets. Nobody will dispute that business can be done on a large scale cheaper than on a small one. The man who churns, works, salts, packs and ships 1,000 pounds of butter in a rlay can do it cheaper than the man who churns but ten. although he may do some other work besides.

Crimson clover has a high feeding and fertilizing valus, and is one of the best crops that can be grown in short rotations fcr forage and soil renovation, lending itself readily to use for hay, pasturage, soiling, »-; lagc green manure, and as a soil cover to prevent leaching and washing. The crop should be cut for hay or before full bloom, and for seed soon as ripe; in the latter cast should be thrashed or put under cove as soon as dry. there will be ". profit in so doing. The objection to keeping her see in dark Stables is that the walls are apt to be damp and horses do not do well in darrip stables. A pig ought to we*gh two hundred pounds at six months old. This can be accomplished by ueing proper care in the feeding and not stuffing. Calves should not be led together. The big ones always crowd ^he little their clean ones out and get more than sihare. Calves should be fed in buckets one at,a time. A hog should not be allowed to wallow in the watering trough. Sticks nailed across the top every two feet will prevent this. Hogs should do their wallowing in the ravines. What a Whale Weighs. Have you any idea of the size of the common Greeland Whale? N 1- son, the zoologist, estimates the fullgrown animal to average 100 tons, or 224,000 pounds. That is to say, a whale weighs as much as abont eighty elephants or 400 bears. Of coune some run larger than this. There are tales among old whalers of whales 110 feet long, and weighing at least 150 tons, but they are not seen in these days. A seventy-foot whale is a big one now. Still, it may give seme idea of what monsters are occasionally killed when we mention that a ton of oil has been extracted from the tongue alone of a single whale. Daily Items.

I see where I made another mistake or two of them. I wanted a couple of shade-trees en the outer edge of the lawn, and decMed that they might as well be frult-trees~and bear something besides leaves as not, so after looking the matter up a little, I planted two Stark apples. To be sure, they are trees, and they shade the spots where they are, but they are about as ornamental as old sak-barrels. If I had known what I do now their places would now be occupied by Grimes' Golden trees. These are neat, compact and really ornamental ^ treas. while tbe fruit is notsunpas el by any apple that grows. Along the path to tbe gate I decided to plant *»* -»thcr fruLi-bearing shade-tree, and like a ndnny selected a Howell pear. If any. body can see an atom of ornament about itt I should be glad to have it pointed out. The fruit is flrs>t-clas8, but tha sthspe of the tree is any hing but fair to look upon. Had I planted Instead either a Keiffcr or Kocnce pear I would now have a tree that wouldf >e an ornament to any ground. The fruit of the Kedffer, when properly riipened, is good for dessert, and excellent stewed. cannei or in pies, while that of the Koonc3. which is an early pear, is good any way. own.

Some persons who have just returned from the neighborhood of Huast.ca Potosina, where they were in search of coal, report the discovery of a very wonderful cave in the mountainous regions of that country. It is decorated inside in a very elaborate manner and Is evidently the temple of an aboriginal god. In fact, there is now in the cave a huge stone image of an Indian idol. From indications it is evident that the idol is still receiving the worshp of the natives. It Is thought that this worship may have been going on for many years in the same place, and that the natives, when they found that they could not carry on their heathen worship openly, took the idol to the cave and there fitted up for it the best and most elaborate temple their facllitlee afforded.—> Mexican Herald.

When a political editor snaps his fingers and declares tbe Anti- Saloon League influence "did not amount to that in the laat election,'* and then devotes a leading £sery_ week-or-two-iowriting us-down, his words and conduct do not seem to be constructed on the ordinary lines of human nature. Occasionally we yet come across some petrified fosal of the ante diluvian age of, intelectual and spiritual development who thinks that-to preach what he call the "gospel" is the preacher's only mission and that it ought to be left to apply itself, instead of being fitted to the case before ns. Which reminds us of the man who was always "in favor of the law but agin its enforcements." We believe there is pure beer brewed, but not much. There are a few brewers in this district who are ready for an analysis— and it is a wonder that some daily paper has net employed a chemist for che purpose, and shown who make pure and impure beer.

All coins from half-sovereigns downward were to struck, and got into circulation before the error was discovered. Any one of these coins fetches more than $5.

W h a t is gained? Absolutely nothing for the cause of Christ. W h a t strengthens an army is new recruits. W h i l e courteous to those coming from other flocks, we should build our churches not out of other churches, but out of the world, lest wc build o n another man's foundation. T h e fact is, this is a big world. When, in our schoolboy days, w e learned the diameter and circumference of this planet, we did not learn half. It Is the latitude and longitude and diameter and circumference of want^and woe a n d sin that no figures can calculate. T h i s one spiritual continent of wretchedness reaches across all zones, and if I were called to give its geographical boundary I would s a y it w a s bounded on the north and south and east and west by the great hep.rt of God's sympathy and love. Oh, it is a great world! Since 6 o'clock this morning 60,800 persons have been born, and all these multiplied populations are to be reached by the gospel. In England or in our eastern American cities we arc being much crowded, and an acre of ground is of great value, but in western America 500 acres is a small farm and 20,000 acres is no unusual possession. There is a r a s t field here and everywhere unoccupled, plenty of room more, not building on another man's foundation. The Spirit of Evangelism. We need as churches to stop bombarding the old ironclad sinners t h a t have been proof agaifl&t 30 years of Christian assault. Alas for that church which lacks the spirit of evangelism, spending on one chandelier enough to light 500 souls to glory, and in one carved pillar enough to have made a thousand men "pillars in the house of our God forever" and doing less good than m a n y a log cabin meeting house with tallow candles stuck in wooden sockets and a m i n - ster who has never seon a college and does not know the difference between Greek and Choctaw. We need ,as churches to get into sympathy w i t h the great outside world and let t h e m know that none are s o broken hearted or hardly bestead that they will n o t be welcomed. " N o ! " says some fast.!( tious Christian. - "I don't like to b e crowded in church, Don't put any one in my pew." My brother, what will you do in h e a v e n ? W h e n a great multitude that no man can number assembles, they will put 50 in your pew. W h a t are the select few today assembled in the Christian churches comparnl with the mightier m i l l i o n s outside of t h e m ? Many of the churches are like a h o s - pital that should advertise that its patients m u s t h a v e n o t h i n g worse than toothache or "runrounds," but n o broken heads, n o crushed ankles, n o fractured thighs. Give u s for treatment moderate sinners, v e l v e t coated s i n - n e r s and sinners with a gloss on. It is a s though a m a n had a farm of 3,000 acres and put all his work on one acre. H e may raise never s o large ears of corn, never s o b i g heads of wheat, he would remain poor. The. church of Utudes today w h o have never had a n y Christian worker look them in the e y e and with earnestness in the accentuation say "Come," or th*y would l o n g ago have been In the kingdom. My friends, religion is either a sham or a great reality. If it be a sham, let us disband our churches and Christian associations. If it bo a realtiy, t h e n great populations arc on the way to the bar of God unfitted for the ordeal.. And what are we d o i n g ? Dealing with Skeptics. • Comparatively .little effort a s yet has been made to save that large e l a s i of persons in our midst called skeptics, and he w h o goes to work here will nui be building upon another man's foundation. There is a large number of them. They arc afraid of us una our churches for the reason w e do not k n e w how to treat them. One of this class met Christ. And hear with w h a t tenderness and pathos and beauty and success Christ dealt with him: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart i;r.d with all thy soul and with all thy 'mind and with all thy strength. This is tho first and great commaud;ncnt, and the second Is like unto 1L—-namely, thou chalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There i3 none other comma:;dinci:t greater t h a n these." And the scribe said to hlni, "Well, master, thou h a s t said the truth, for there is one God, ana u> love him with all the heart and all the understanding and all the soul and all the strength is more than whole burnt cfierrngs and sacrifices." And when Jesus s a w that he answered discreetly he said unto him, "Thou art not far from the kingdom of God." You would n e t be so rough on that man if you knew how he lost his faith in Christianity. I have known m e n skeptical from the fact that they, grew up in houseB w h e r e religion w a s overdone. Sunday w a s the most awfol day in the week. They had religion driven into them w i t h a trip hammer. They were surfeited with prayer meetings. They were stuffed and choked with catechisms. They were oftsn told that they were the worst boys the parents ever knew, because t h e y liked to ride dev/n hill better than to read Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress." Whenever father and mother talked ot religion, they drew down the corners of their mouth and rolled up their eyes. If any one thing will send a b e y or girl to ruin sooner than another, t h a t is it. if I had such a father and mother I fear 1 should h a v e been an infidel. Infuktl fn Christians. Others were tripped up to skepticism from being grievously wronged by some man w h o protei^ed to be a Christian. T h e y bad a partner in business w h o turned out to be a firsi class scoundrel, though a professed Christian.

'"Co, I know row thiuk us the dirt .lieAfift£k.j.aiir..ieet].". hs Mewed, his | face livid, as he twirled his little black moustache and glared at her with unwining admiration. "We are nothing, no no; but it is those who win laugh, ah, yes! 1 snap my fingers at Reverton, for which we are not good enough; but they shall accept us, though they did not my amlaBte uncle, whom, I allow, you had no cause to love." "I shall certainly let all Reverton know if I am made unhappy here," she answered, with a st'.dden flash of comprehension, under which Henri winced. "Per Mr. Barlowe, I had little cauEe to like him; but he is dead! he came to a terrible end! Have you any chance of discovering who killed him, or why?" So intent had they been in their conversation that they had been 00- iivioua to the clans of the garden gate und the sound of wheels. ^As Mollie turned quickly to see Madame Dubois driving up,-the horses lathered by their reckless speed, but well in hand, she did not notice that Henri's face had gone a sickly yellow, that the fingers holding a cigarette suddenly crushed it as in a vice. Madame looked from Mollie's flushed face, to her son's sullen, dark one, as she drew up, and her lips tightened; but the girl entered the house before her, and, once out of eighty dashed to her own room. What was she to do? she thought, as with clenched hands she paced her room. What could she do but keep her eyes open, and bear it? She was surprised to find that she was neither frightened nor dismayed; indeed, wondering more what Reggie would think if he knew—Reggie, whose blue eyes had given a sudden flash as that "Mollee" had caught his ear. Yet it was a matter of relief when niadame appeared as usual at dinner, even making a little show of affection for her, though looking pale and distraught, while Henri was effusively polite. But nothing could prevent the evening being dreary and constrained, and as early as she could, she bade mother and son_good night. At the far end of the large square hall was the hand- ~some~oak door of Mr. Barlowe's-stud and she paused at the foot of the stairs to regard it with a felling akin to awe. What scene had that closed door witnessed 12 month8 ago that very night? What was the Becret of Leonard Barlowe's tragic death? Well indeed it was for Mollie that the future i3 hidden from us: that she could not foresee the manner in which the truth would be revealed! As she went slowly up stairs the drawing room door opened suddenly it was with a sigh that she put her elbows on the toilet table and dropped her white chin into them. All the evening her thoughts had been back with her mother—remembertng her fonows and sufferings— and yet there kept running ia her mind a!ao the word* she had just read, "Love rour enemies." Ah! how impossible it seemed; to how many more than poor littie Mollie has it appeared too,hard a precept to follow! But she.struggled for it, asking help from above to tjrgive Leonard Barlowe, and endeavor to Hve in peace with her relatives, returning good for evil. A hasry rattling at the door handle, Kate*3 voice screaming, roused her, and, running to open it. the child almost fell against her, her thin little face colorless, her tiny hand3 grasping, as if for dear life., at the folds of her dressing gown. "Let mo stay with you, dear, dear Mollie!" she sobbed and sighed. "I cannot—cannot stop alone; I should die!" It was terrible to «ee • the nervous excitement, the fc?>r that shook the child from head to foot, an ! as Mollie caught her up she only remembered that she was hsr mother's baby, the litt'.e sister she had tried to love. Shutting the doer, sho caviled her to the window, pauping to wrap a rug round her, for she svag in her small night gown, just an she had jumped out of bad, and shivering violently. "Yes, yes, you shall stay with mc," she said soothingly, in her round, soft [ voice,- "But what is • the matter?! Where are-Jane and Harriet?" "Jane has gone; she said she was net going to, stay in this house tonight for anything we could offer her. She just got the gardener's boy to take her box after dark, and went. I don't know what Aunt Clare will say, and harriet will not &leep in my room without her." "What! they both slept there?" "Yet, because of the strange noise* and Mid thiaga.

But 1 would not go until nurse cahed me, and she told me my father was dead* I asked what mado hlzn die, and she said: 'Want of breath.' And then heaps of people came, and there, was a bequest." "Inquest," corrected Mollie, with a shiver, the little girl's words bringing the whole scene before her with startling vividness; then, as she felt that Kate was again shuddering in her arms, she added: "But we will not think of it any more." ul can't help tt!*V she moaned, trembling. "Something in black has glided up and down the passage ever since. That door is heard to open acd shut when every one is in bed. All the servants know this, and won't stay. Ask them." "Oh, Kate, this is really nonsense!" Mollie exclaimed in horror; then, drawing back the blind she pointed to the still, quiet night without, where the soft breeze was sighing through the budding .trees, the moon riding serene in the dark blue sky above. "And see* even the weather is different this year. Look at the beautiful world God has given us to live in! And if wo are good He will certainly take care of us; we need fear nothing. Why, even a little sparrow cannot fall to the ground but what H? sees it; and we are His children, whom the Lord Christ came to save." r Kate drank in her words with a look of old intelligence that made her seem as if she had never been a child. But as Mollie put her into bed, two slight arms were suddenly flung round the soft white throat, and she whispered with passionate fervor: "Oh, I am glad—I am awfully glad that God has given me you for a sister, Mollie." But long after the little one had fallen asleep, Mollie sat by Jher. thinking, thinking—what did it all mean? CHAPTER VI. Who had killed Leonard Barlowe? For days Mollie pondered over this question, and another one that would keep coming back to her—had the Dubois any private knowledged that had not been published to the world? They must have known more of Mr. Barlowe, his past life and enemies, than any outsider could possibly do. Henri had hated his uncle, she knew, yet surely he had had no hand in sending hint out of the world; that could not be the aetata? of madame's wild words! That he was eoW-WoodeU and cynical to a degree about everything save himself was clear; but it beating-I could not breathe. All I 1 ™ incredible that he could have cornthought of was you; I should be £a'e !.«!««* s u c h a c r i m e undetected: besides, Kate said that he had been in e time. if I could get to you. Something passed me in the passage; rTelr~it~b" against me. It was a ghost, wasn't it?" And she cowered down into Mollie's arms, a pitiable object indeed. Kate was almost beside herself, and it was leng ere Mollie could calm her agitation. Inwardly the sister's heart burned with wrath against the two maids, who in their own ignorant fear had left this highly-strung child alone at siii-h ;i time, after the shock of the preceding year. Seriously alarmed, she rubbed the icy little hands and and madame came out and walked j feet, talking cheerfully the while, and swiftly across to the closed door, her j then recked to and i'ro until the usually stately, step faltering and"Ti7T-~pnrraT!rtnirsi,»iw qui«UM-rHTid-th*Hhtxen-f—tt-was-in vain Mollie protested hoteven, her face wild and haggard; but ere she had gone many yards Henri had slipped after her, caught her by the arm, and pulled her roughly back. "Let me go!" she cried excitedly. "Have you not tormented me enough? —you, for whom I have borne everything; you, whom I have shielded?" "There, don't make a fuss and rouse the place!" he said hoarsely. "For heaven's sake come back and calm yourself. What is the use of getting She thrust the thought from her, .and determined to try and think no evil—a gcod resolution put to a very hard test when she discovered that her freedom was gone, and that madame was always making slighting re- j marks upon the Anstruthers, implying ^ that Mrs. Anstruther was a worldly mother,, who had engaged hc-r daughter to a rich man, and was now seeking an heiress for her son. About this latter, indeed, she shook her head ominously; she had heard ta4e3 of him —he was a terrible flirt, or worse. head lay still on her shoulder, while • iy that the youag naval officer to whom she hummed the old lullaby which had sounded in.her own drov.sy ears v/heu she was a little child. "Mother sang that," Kivte said, suddenly looking up with a faint smile. "When I found I was alone, I said all I could remember of my prayers—'Our Father' over and over again." "I am glad of that," replied Mollie simply. i feared you did not. Kate." "I am a Freethinker in the daytime; j Joyce was engaged was far from rich; ! that she had never heard a word j against Reggie, that Mrs. Anstruther I was kindness itself and had loved her 1 mother. Madame nodded her hand- | some dark head mysteriously, and said her dear Mollie was very young and innocent, and all young men were not like Henri, so good and wise and trustworthy. Certainly she had plenty of opportunity of discovering these vir In a frenzy because an unfortunate' j » * at night in the dark, when I am j tues in Henri, had they existed for he frightened. I always say all I can [ spent event has happened in the house, and the greater part of his time the servants say it is haunted? Come back, I say!" And the drawing room door closed again on their angry voices without either having perceived Mollie's presence on the stairs above. She went on to her room down the dimly-lighted corridors, for ma dame was economical in lights in some instances. There was a feeling of unrest and mystery abroad in the house tonight, more to be felt than described, which unconsciously influenced her. She wilted she were not so young. How long it seemed since she had left her peaceful German life behind, and been plunged into a sea of difficulties; yet she would not have gone back. Unbidden rose the thought that there was no Reggie in-Hanover. She took her Bible and read a chaptor, trying to fix her thoughts on the Batter day that would soon dawn, the day oar Lord rose from the dead. The want bid dressing gown in which she was wrapped accentuated the brightness ef her hair, and her lovely face shewed aweet and thoughtful in the 9M light, but a» she doted the booh think of," caid the child, with quaint innocence, ail the self-importance knocked out of her for the moment by terror. She listened very quietly when Mollie tried to show her that this was wrong, and then her thoughts went back, to the last Easter eve, and sh? spoke of her father. "It was very cold—oh. very!" she said reflectively. "He took me out in the dogcart, and I cried with the cold, so he was cross. I did not know he was going to die. you see, or I would have tried not to." "But you loved him. Kate?" "Pretty well." she responded truthfully, "for she had not words to express what she was sharp enough to know-that her father had cared for her for what she had represented to him. "When I went to the study to say good night to him. he called out he was busy, su I went away. Next | morning when I awoke the snow was thick, and I heard screams and shrieks, so I jumped out of bed and ran to the tap of the stairs and looked down, and all the servants were there at hanging about her, and she grew heartily tired of him and the tales of his gay Parisian life. Why did he not return to it? she thought wearily. WThy did he stay on here, rolling his black eyes at her sentimentally, and pretending that Reverton was now more to him than Paris? "It is because I am an heiress," she thought wrathfully, when he had accompanied her to the Anstruthers, and kept so close to her that she had .been unable to have the good grumble to Joyce that would have relieved her pent-up feelings. "Oh, this hateful money! My mothers' life was ruined for it, and they would ruin mine. But I am not so gentle as she; and madame will And that 1 have a will of my own. I think she suspects it, for sometimes I see her eyes fixed on me with such a strange expression. Qod forgive mo if I wrong them; but somehow I mistrust them utterly." (To be continued.) As a rule hard luck never asso;l- •tea with prudence and Industry. \ "Icouid'ntSew anoflier SHtchM Save my life/' A gorgeous costume flashed beneath the brilliant lights of a ball room. The queen of society is radiant to-night. The nervous hands of a weak woman have toiled day and night, the weary form and aching head hare known no rest, for the dress must be finished in time. To that queen of society and her dressmaker we would eay a word. One through hothouse culture, luxury, and social excitement, and the other through the toil of necessity, may some day find their ailments a common cause. Nervous prostration, excitability, fainting spells, dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and strength, all indicate serious trouble, which has been promoted by an over-taxed system. For the society queen and the dressmaker alike, there is nothing so reliable as Lyditi E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to restore strength, vigor, and happiness. Mrs. Uzzic Anderson, 49 Union St., Salem, N. J., writes; 14 DFAB MBS. PISKIIAM :—T feci it is my duty to write and tell you how grateful I am to you for what your medicine has done for me.

There are little kinks in farming that deserve the naane of being new industries, and' when they are carried to buoce&s in & novel way the discoverer should receive full credit I wonder U there Is.any other man engaged in the same pursuit as a neighbor of mine, j'Vho goes about buying up all oheaa) stock, chickens and other farm animals that have a market. His Idea Is that there are plenty of poorly fed farm animals in the country, which If given a few weeks or months of careful attention and feeding, could be turned Into first-class marketable products. Acting on this Idea he scours the country In. ate wagon and even advertises for poor, lean cattle, horses fowls, swine, and even ducks and geese. Anything, in fact, that provides meat for the markets, come under bla speciality. He is a good buyer, and never pays more for the animals than they are worth. He makes frequent tripe to c!t:es, where he manages to1 buy young, half-starved horses, wfaich he ships out to his farm, fe:ds well, cuiies ttarouighiy; "and then sends them back to the city to sell for nearly double the price he paid for them. His work is a good Illustration of the value of good keeping and good feeding in preparing animals for market. H»> claims thait he can always sell his horFes and cattle at an advance of $1 per day for {She time he keeps them on the farm. Some require much longer time .than others to make them marketable, but a s * rule he can make-the. transformation inside of a month Good feeding and daily currying not only make the horses look stronger and fatter, but their coat gets sleek and glcesy, and completely changes the animal's cpnearance. In the case of cattle and swine it is merely a question of fattening proiper'y, and this Is accomplished by good feeding and not too much exerc'ee. The farm Is divided up into fattening or feeding pens and pasture lots. Connected witih it are extensive fields of corn, grass, rye and oats, where nearly all the food ia raised necessary to keep the cattle. He never radsfe or breed's young cattle on the place, but depends entirely upon buying and selling. Thus hi3 stock Is constantly changing. Quick sales and qu ck profit3 arc he ra>tto and he generally sur'^rxla in ge ting both. In may rot be possible for many others to gp into this t.u 1 .ess, but th'.s brief account of what one man has accomplished may emphasize the value of good, feeding and keeping. Many a farmer undoubtedly fail:* to get full value for bis stock, and simply because tlhey have not been fed properly to bring out their qualities.-—C. W. Jones m • HOG NOTES. ANDERSON.

FAR9IFOHSALE A good farm of 120 acres within two miles of the Tillage for sale at a reasonable price. Anyone desiring farm property will do well to call at tbit offieo lor particular!. ~ Growing hogs should not be confined. Have the Quarters lor the hogs clean and dry. Give growing hog* a ra*!oa to produce bone and moacto. A good tight miany feeding place will save feed. No animal about the farm gives a better return than the hog. _ It dulls the aTupetit^ to lay food before the hogs aBl of the time. While ihogs do not require an expensive shelter, it Is very^ important that it be dry. It is not good economy to feed the fattening hogs, the growing p'gs and the brood sows together. If there are young pigs to be wintered a good shelter-should be provided In good season. As long as the breeding animals are doing well it will generally be found good policy to kesvp them. In breeding especial care should be taken to avoid a cross where the same, r-existr4n both sides. The sanitary condltlore of both, sire and dam has muoh to do with the offspring. The hog having a variety of food will thrive and maintain a healthy appearance longer than one kept on corn alone.- If a plank floor lrf" put in" toe **<**• Ing quarters hav<i it close-to the ground; a raised floor Is generally a cold one. Judgment in breel ing is the outcome of experience. A m*n may have lots of experience and yet lack judgment. In selecting the breeding anlma'e U le quite an Hem to know that thev are from a family noted tor their 'lentil*t*.' Desirable breoUng qualities are fixed In a herd by a long line of careful selection and breeding. One of the best if not the best remedy for worms in hogs la a little turpentine mixed in with the fc-od or drink for four or five days Th.s is also a good remedy for thumps. Xot«* of poultry* A plan for supplying the public wtth fresh egg» Is being tried in Germany in the hopes that :fc will increase the demand for a strictly fresh article. Egg depots are to be established in the principal olties ait which the quality and freshness of th? egga will be guaranteed. For e*ery bad egg bought th* purchaser is entitled to get 15 go>d ones. Every poultryman has to mark all eggs which he sends to one of these depots in such a way th^t they can b^ traced back to him, and if it is found (that he furnishes bad eggs as freah ones he will not be allowed to sell to th'e depots. If you 'have plenty of room, try to keep your fowls away from the immediate premises of the hou3e; if ta>y do net. they will become troublesome and not thrive nearly so well. If you must-keep then eonfined, try to c" ang^ their placs of confinement as frequent ly as may be possible. In raising poultry for profit, there Is not so much in the breeds as thee *s in the care find attention you give then • Plenty of feed, cthe.- things being equal will make marketable fowls of al-mcu any of the many breads that are now being offered for sale. It is never w!se to buy br.-edins stock at^the beginning of the breeding season. 'Buy it before, 83 that H v i l have become used to its new sunoundings Uefore the breeding season c:m mences.

E n g l i s h police, and at madame for bel i e v i n g all she heard, reached her for s o m e time. H o w soft and fresh the air felt; how h i g h above her head the myriads o l stars were t w i n k l i n g in the vast v a u l t s of h e a v e n ! There wa3 a w h i s - per of c o m i n g s u m m e r in the little breeze that just lifted the curls on her brow, speaking of the primroses that were blooming d o w u by the stream, the violets in t h e shady woods. T h e roof covering the pantiles Was supported by iron pillars, a n d the s c e n e w a s the s a m e a s from her bedroom w i n d o w , which w a s just above. J3ut Mollie never tired of it, and was stand* *ng in dreamy thought, w h e n a voic3 close to her startled her. ' "Ah! mademoiselle. I have found y o u a t last. I have been looking for y o u e v e r y w h e r e ! " said Henri briskly, closing t h e glass doors. "You enjoy t h e lovely n i g h t — y e s ? " " A n y o n e would, monsieur," Mollio replied, a d d i n g mischievously: "Surely it m a k e s y o u think of P a r i s — t h e lights, musie, dancing, and all that kind of t h i n g — d o e s it n o t ? " "You are laughing at me, medemoiselle," he said, w i t h a very genuine sigh as the vision rose before him. "But tell me, would you not like to go there, s e e all t h e s e things—are you not tired of being here?" "Oh, no. W h y , when I was in Germ a n y I w a s j u s t l o n g i n g to be h o m e to watch t h e flowers come out, to ramble ia t h e w o o d s . " Henri shpugged hi a shoulders and glanced d o w n at h i s dainty boots. "Yet it i s v e r y unpleasant for you," h e argued. "My ^mother is peculiar. She h a s never recovered from the shock of her brother's sudden death. T w o years w i t h her would appal me, were I a girl. And had I the chance o.a sroing to beautiful Paris, h a v i n g a h o m e of m y own, a - h u s b a n d devotee! to me, I sbould take it, would net y o u ? " " N o ! " said Mollie quickly, suppressing a gasp of di3may. "Besides, w h a t good would ftiey be to me if I were not devoted, too. I am going in"—and s h e moved to the window. "Stay, do not be so cruel!" and hs stepped in front of her. "You k n o w I love, adore you. Only, say, 'Henri, I return your ardent affection, and will be y o u r s ! ' and m y life will be spent in m a k i n g y o u happy." "But I d o n t = - I never could!" she cried, not w a i t i n g to choose her word? i n her hurry. "Nor do you love mc, Henri, so let u s s a y n o more about i t ' "I tell y o u I do!** protested h e sullenly.- " W h y do y o u doubt m e ? Consent, and I will carry you to m y gay Paris and teach y o u t o l o v e ! " A n d h s c a m e nearer and laid s h a n d o n her arm. ' Instinctively s h e shrank back.

T H.o Pirctney Tw« Man With the Jug. Mr. Markham's poem, "The Man with"the'Hoe," lias attracted much attention, and elicited the sympathy of millions of tender hearts in favor of the farmer, and properly so, for he is-"bowed with the weight of centuries" and has "on his back the burden of the wo.rld." JBnt who thinks of offerin ^sympathy to the man with the juyj? He too labors under a burden, sometimes beyond his strength, and falls out of sight and into an nnhonored grave. The world looks upon the man with the jng as a common drunkard not worth attention, much less respect, and turns the cold shoulder to him until he-loses all self- Ma way. We can break the jag. God pronounces a woe upon the man whe puts the bottle to his neighbor's mouth and makes him drunk.. The curBe must rest on all who are guilty, whether parents, or those who compose the community, or rule the state or nation. Our government is such as to allow us to free ourselves from the curse if we will. The responsibility re^ts upon the good people of our land. The man with the jug must be relieved! Then the man with the hoe will have a lighter load to carry.— Northwestern Christian Advocate. : •**furtmTfi6-dayr a n d n T j r h t s - f - s t t f l e r - ed a ^ o n y u n t o l d f r o m a n a t t a c k of c h o l e r a m o r b u s b r o u g h t o n b y e a t i n g c u c u m b e r s , " s a y s U .

But in its capacity to* usefulness there is no e v l d e n c r t h a t it has suffered a decline. (Copyright. 1000, by Louis Klopsch.) Washington, Oct. 7.—In this s e r m o n Dr. Talmage discourses upon the i n v i - tation given to Christ to stay o v e r - night in the oriental village a n d makes some consolatory suggestions. The text 13 Luke xxjv, 29, "Abide w i t h us, for it is toward evening." T w o villagers, h a v i n g concluded t h e i r errand in Jerusalem, have started out at the city gate and arc on their way to Emniaus, t h e place of their residence. T h e y g o with a sad heart. Jesus, who had been their admiration and their joy, has been basely m a s s a - cred and entombed. As with sad face and broken heart they pass o n their way a stranger accosts them. T h e y tell him their anxieties and bittarness of soul. He in turn, talks to t h e m , mightily expounding the Scriptures. He throws over t h e m the fascination of intelligent conversation. They forget the time and notice not the objects ! they pass and before they are a w a r e [ have corao up in front of their hous3. j They praise before the entrance and attempt to persuade the stranger to tarry with them. They press upon h i m their hospitalities. Night is c o m i n g on and he may meet a prowling wild beast or be obliged to lie unsheltered from the dew. K e cannot go m u c h further now. W h y not stop there and continue their pleasant conversation? They take him by the arm and t h e y insist upon his o r r . l u g in, addressing hirn in th* words, "Abide with us, for it is toward evening." The lamps' are lighted, the table is spread, pleasant socialities are enkindled. They rejoice in the presence of the stranger guest. He asks a blessing upon the bread they eat, and he hands a piece of it to each. Suddenly, and w i t h overwhelming pow^r the thought fiashe3 upon the astounded people—it is the Lord! And a s they sit in breathless wonder, looking upon the resurrectei body of Jesus, he vanished. The inr terview ended. H e w a s gone. Oar Greatest Need* The great want of all is to have Jes u s abide with them. It is a dismal thing to be g e t t i n g old without the rejuvenating influence of religion. W h e n we stop on the down grade of life and see that it dips to the cold verge of the cold river, w e w a n t to behold s o m e one near w h o will help us acros3 i t W h e n the sight loses its power to t glance and gather up, we need the 1 faith that can illumine. W h e n We feel the failure of the car, w e need the clear tones of t h a t voice which in olden times broke up the silence of the deaf with cadence of mercy. W h e n the axmen of death h e w down wlrutrr *iV' M\ » > " . / • <*>.' A patrol of citizens has bean keeping nightly^ vigil, in a Nebraska township, o v e r "*>e home of a m a n and woman w h o recently founded a new sect. Thr; religious enthusiasts have broken up f a m i l i e s and in other ways made thems e l v e s obnoxious to the community, but sober people have determined that t h e town's good n a m e sh.Ul not be marred by the m o b law which wilder s p i r i t s threaten. Hence the nightly guard. ~"With all propriety one may • a l l it "knightly" also, for there is s o m e t h i n g as h i g h a n d fine .spirit of chivalry in the conception t h e s e Kebraskans hold of the obligat i o n s of citizenship. forests of strength and beauty around us, and we are left in solitude, we need the dove of divine mercy to s i n g in our branches. W h e n the shadows begin to fall and we feel that the day k far spent, we need most of all to s u p - plicate the heneficieut Jesus in the prayer of the villagers, "Abide wKh us, for it is toward evening.'' The request of the text is an appropriate exclamation for all those w h o are approaching the gloomy hour oi* temptation.

But there aro times w h e n a p - proaching sorrow is s o e v i d e n t t h a t w e need t o be m a k i n g especial preparations for its coming. One of your children has lately become a favorite. Tlta cry of that child strikes deeper into t h e heart t h a n the cry of all the others. You think more about it. You give it more attention n o t because it is any more of a treasure than the others, but because it is becoming frail. There is s o m e t h i n g in the cheek, in the eye and in the walk that rnake3 y o u quite sure that the l e a v e s of t h e flower are g o i n g to be scattered. Tue utmost nursing and medical attendance are Ineffectual. Tho pulse becomes feeble, the complexion lighter, the step weaker, the laugh fainter. N o more romping for that one t h r o u g h hall and parlor. Tho nursery is darkened by au approaching calamity. The heart feels with mournful anticipation that the sun is going down. N i g h t speeds on. It is toward evening. LlfeV Ka'Mnce fchuvt. Y o a had a considerable estate and felt Independent. In five m i n u t e s on one fair balance sheet you couid see just how you stood with the world. But there came complications; s o m > thing that you imagined impossible happened. The best friends you had pVoved traitor to your interests. A sudden crash of national misfortune prostrated your credit. You may feci anxious about where you are s t a n d i n g and fear that the next turn of the commercial wheel will bring you prostrate. You foresee w h a t you consider certain defalcation. You think of the anguish of telling your f r k n d s that you are not worth a dollar. You k n o w not how you will ever bring your 'children home from school. You w o n - der how you will stand the selling of your library or the m o v i n g into a plainer house. The misfortunes of life have accumulated. You wonder what makes the sky so dark. It is toward evening. Trouble is an apothecary that m i x e s a groat many drafts, b k t e r and s j u r and nauseous, and yoi! must -drink some one of them. Trouble puts up a great m a n y packs, and you must carry some o n e of them. There is no sandal s o thick and well adjusted but some thorn will strike through it.

But—there was a but—she honored her lover too' much to bring him a divided heart, years before she had believed herself in love with the cousin other mo£t intimate friend. When he • asked her to marry him she refused. Not many months later she received the announcement of his marriage to t another woman, and thanked heaven lhat she had not said yes to so fickle a suitor.- But *he sting entered her heart, and thereafter Miss Lorimer was unemotional and unromantlc. ' Tonight she was to meet for the first time after ten years the man whose memory lingered with her still, and she felt nervously anxious. She wanted to see if,the old fascination was enduring; if the old pain was -healed. The dinner was at the house of a friend and cousin. Dr. Burton had risen to eminence as a surgeon, and was in town professionally,having been s summoned for a difficult operation in the family of a millionaire. Miss Lorimer had barely.entered the drawing-room and shaken.hands with her hostess when the dinner was announced. She recognized the doctor at once. The years had marked him; there were deep lines on his brow and touches of gray in his hair, but she toiH herself Bhc would have known him anywhere. As tbe guest of the evening. Dr. Burton took the hostess in to dinner, and Miss Lorimer smiled at Mary's diplomacy when she found herself assigned to a distinguished exjurist who was deaf and a confirmed gourmand, and placed at tabic with the doctor on the other hand.

"If I had been sure of that, I would have asked you again; for, really, I was very much in earnest." Miss Lorimer smiled sarcastically. "And you carried six months afterwards !" "Yes, and I made an excellent match. I married one of the best of women. She loved me for years. She had money and position. Both families desired the marriage. I could not get what I wanted, so 1 took the next best thing, as has always been my rule in life." Miss Lorimer flushed indignantly and swallowed some ice water before she trusted her volne to reply: "Pardon me, Dr. Burton, but. I have old-fashioned ideas, and I dislike to hear you speak so of your wife. Do you think she would like it?" ' The furrows between his eyes came closer together. "Are you sufficiently old-fashioned to believe that the dead concern themselves with the affairs of BXystortous Torpede-Boat la Coarse Construction at StamfonL For nineteen months a submarine toroedo-boat has 'been in process o f construction at Ware Island, oft Stamford* Conn, groat secrecy has been maintained by the builder and comparatively little is known of the plan fl jj If/ V\1^--4^ °* the boat or what she is e j e c t e d I i/iiri i I J l l s t 0 accoBiPttsh. To a casual observer the boat looks like a great cigar painted bottle green. Its length is given as fifty feet over all. The bow is sharp, the stern rounded. The boat is fitte-d with a heavy ram made of maple and tapers from six inches to perhaps twenty-five in diameter. It is four feet eix inches long and fitted on the end' is a steel plug which tapers to a point. The shell of the boat is of yellow, pine, bound with iron hoops, covered with coatings of ship felt and pitch. Galvanized iron covers the coatings of pitch and felt. On the top of the craft is a deck conforming to the shape of the boat. There Is also a conningtower, with two torpedo loops. - The machinery is connected with the ccnV ning tower. Electricity is the motive1 power used. It is said that three men will compose the crew. The torpedo loops are made water tight by a preparation of rubber and copper. A rubber cap also screws down over the top of the tower outside and encircling the deck are "several exhaust pipes. The craft will bo propelled by water taken in through openings, one on each side, about for^r feet from the stern of the craft and well down toward the principal keel. These openings arc connected with pumps which are operated by two engines of 1,000 horse power each. From the pumps run four seveu-inchcopper pipes, two in each side of the boat. The water forced through these pipes passes out through two openings in the blunt stent of the boat and, eominp: in contact with the body oi! water in which the boat rests, forces it ahead. It is not calculated that a very great speed will be attained. To' the stern is fitted a cap of iron bolted with wood to make It tight. This cap is connected with a lever on the inside of the boat and when it la desired to •back the vessel the cap is placed partly ever the vents in the stern. This giv^s the water emerging through the opening a backward movement and causes the boat to go back. There arc two dynamos, which are operated by the two engines mentioned.' Kerosene* is used as fuel. There are fourteenthe TivTng? Mrs. Builun"7nMTwo~yeltrBr^|ru^s~tn the bottom of the boat, capa-- ble of hokling fifty-five barrels of oil. ThLs 2,700 gallons of xerosens also answers the purpose of a balance. When; a tank has been exhausted provision is made to take in sea water to refill it.. The interior of the boat is divided into, three sections. In the rear is the engine- room, in the center are the lockers and apartments for the crew and' in the bow is a store-room. The interior is braced b*r an octagonal frame of wood and iron. The craft will be. lighted throughout by electricity. So} far as can be learned there is no pro-; vision made for leaving the boat when it is under water. Few people acquire polish on the grindstone of adversity/ There Is a Class of Veopte Who are injured by the use of coffee. Recently there has been placed in all the grocery stores a new preparation called GHAIN-O, made of pure grains, that takes the place of coffee. rlhe most delicate stomach receives it without distress, and but few can tell it from coffee. It does not cost over one-fourth as much. Children may drink it with trreat benefit. 15 cents and 25 cents per package.

You were always charming, kut the bud has opened and the flower is exquisite." Miss Lorimer was accustomed to compliments, but the directness of this one brought the color to her cheek. "I am glad to have your good opinion," she said, with a little air of mockery. He had no chance to reply; the host addressed him and the conversation became general. Miss Lorimer took no part therein, and while she appeared to listen, thought hard of other things. So this was the love of her youth, this man who could speak so unfeelingly of the woman who for eight years had been his devoted wife, "one of the best of women," he had called her between mouthfuls. "'Miss Lorimer held marriage as a sacrament, not a civil contract, and his apparent heartlessness hurt her. She was still more shocked by his attitude toward herself. "His heart was true to Poll,'! she thought, and her Up curled unconsciously. Her reverie was interrupted by Dr. Burton's votee. "A surgeon's life has little room for romance. Nevertheless, I have never forgotten the dream of my youth." Mary had given the signal and the women were rising. Miss Lorimer rose hastily, dropping her handkerchief as she did so.

WALLACE, t-41 Co, Com. of Schools. Jiggers And the {Soldier*. One of the most annoying pests, of the tropical countries, particularly of the West Indies, which we have taken into Uncle Sam's family, is the jigger. It was one of the afflictions of our army before Santiago, and nearly every soldier who returned from Cuba could tell fearsome tales of the ravages of the dear little thing. True to human nature, as the cynic would say, it is the female which makes trouble for man. She bores with her head into the human skin and stays there. The large quantity of eggs which she takes in with her swell her to the size of a pea, the color being white. This results in a small ulr«r which inflames in the course of a few days. If the parasite isn't removed inflammation increases and in the course of it the jigger eliminates Itself. At the beginning Jhe pain is so slight thar usually it Is not noticed. Bui .he festering would, if not cleaned, as In the case of all neglected wounds, cause serious inflammation, gan'grtne, and even general blood poisoning. As the jigger lives in the ground, it usually seeks the feet of its victim, so that the mode of prevention and the treatment are e a ^ . Thick boots or high boots are good protection. Peru balsam is rubbed into the socks. As soon as a jigger is noticed it should be removed with the greatest care. The wound should be cleaned out and if kept clean it usually heals quickly. If. in the removing of the Jigger, tire pa*asite is lacerated, blood poisoning and severe inflammation are sure to result. German soldiers in east Africa arc> affile;ed with jiggers sometimes, through carelessness in not attending to the feet. This neglect is punished, because it prevents soldiers from marching, when care and attention would have kept their feet in good condition.

"Mnaic has won more battles than gunpowder," said a great general. Certainly aiore flags have been taken by Sousa's band the past summer than by all our armies in the field. Nearly every city in Europe has presented Sousa with a civic banner, and his socalled "American" music .has marched triumphant through camps usually half-bc8tile to the "States." May such peaceful victories attend "The Stars and Stripes Forever!" A. R. Julian was a preacher at Chadron, Neb.; three years ago. In the estimation of his flock ho was doing good work, but was unable to reach his own ideal of what a pastor should bo. Therefore he bought a newspaper, which he ran'Tn vigorous, clean style for over two years. And now, feeling confident that his editorial experience has left him better fitted for pulpiteering, he has sold his paper and will re-enter the ministry. Nothing has been heard of Princess Chimay for a long time, but probably thi3 is due to the fact that her do-> mestic troubles are now at an end, and that her husband has forgiven her for. her Indiscreet adventures with the* Hungarian gipsy Rlgo. Tho prince and princess are now in Paris, and the last that was heard of the violinist Rigo was to the effect that he was somewhere in Africa. PhotographB of the princess are no longer on sale either in Paris or Vienna, and big sums are consequently offered for the picture of her as she appeared on the Parisian variety stage. There may be much scientific and literary sympathy between nations which are politically uncongenial. There is a current medical proverb In Europe that when a thing is verified on the banks of the Spree, as well as on the banks of the Seine, that is, when Berlin and Paris agree, there must be something in it. So much has been added to our knowledge of the physical history of the race by study and experiments in France and Germany, that the proverb is worthy to be remembered when the political relations of the two countries are in question. Moreover, it is not best for the world to emphasize the fraternizings rather than the .tstrangementfi of the nations? A Swiss factory inspector reports that two years ago a company of workmen objected to an improved ventilating apparatus because it would breed rheumatism. This summer the same laborers refused to go to another building because it lacked that ventilating apparatus. Since these men seem to have learned a useful lesson, why not import them to America and distribute them about the country as church Janitors? An Ohio s minister recently had to stop his sermon while two fainting women were carried out.. An investigating stranger afterward discovered that the janitor had nailed the new memorial windows so that they could not be opened, because his occasional substitute had a bad habit of trying to air the church! fast and Dublin^ The discourse: he has sent this week describes the behavior of a young man away from home and suggests practical lessons for people of every age and class. The text is Daniel i, 5: "And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat and of the wine which he drank; so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king." My text opens ihe door of a college in Babylon and Introduces you to a young student seventeen years of age, Daniel by name. Be not surprised if In the college you fiad many hilarities. Put a hundred young men together and thsy are sure to have a good time. There is no harm in that. God does not write cut the trees and the grass and the blossoms in dull prose. The old robin does not sit moping in-the nest because of the chirpings and the lively adventures of the fledgelings that have just begun "to fly. Do not come into an orchard looking for winter apples on a May morning. But Daniel of the text is far from being gay. What oppressive thoughts must have come over him as he remembered that he was a captive in a strange land! The music that came into his study window was not the song ci Zion, but the sound of flute, sackbut and'dulcimer in the worship of the heathen god. Moreover, he had no hope of ever getting back home again and meeting those who had missed him bitterly, wondering if he were still alive and finding many a luxury tasteless because they did not know but Daniel might be lacking bread. School and College Dayi. When you and I were in school or college, and the vacation approached, we were full of bright anticipation, and we could not study the last day, and we could not study the last night. The lexicon and the philosophical apparatus were transparent, so we could see right through them into the meadows. Not PO with poor Daniel. He did not know that he should ever escape frori captivity, or escaping, he did not knev/ but when he got home the loved one.-} would be dead, and be would go wandering and w«eping among the sepulchers of his fathers. Besides that UJP king tried to make him forget hi3 home and forget hi3 r juminii i«»frii 53C-H-rig. ^....aasK yirarji, ^.-^»••»••-;..-* I.'' mm* m^ifim m ffljy|j)i iffiTifi Have yon taken a. alp froja- their «up A terrible drama has just been enacted at Aigaiba, In Murcia, a mad prophetess as its central figure. She U a young peasant woman of 24, named Teresa Guillen, who took to prophecy and preaching several months ago, and after stirring up many disorderly pilgrimages was locked up as a religkms maniac. A fortnight ago she wna allowed to return home, and once more crowds began to assemble, spellbound by the impassioned ecstasy of be riMfsaftofc She was preaching before a large concourse of people, when fire gendarmes arrived to arrest her. The ignorant peasants, worked upon by tb# wild appeals of the eibyl, attacked the police with fury, and in the fight which eacoad, four gendarmes wrere mortally wounded, while sixteen Tenons la the crowd were seriously wart The wejftan'f father and brother country; for that purpose actually changed his name. The king wanted him to be a prodigy in personal appearance, so he ordered meat and wine sent from his own table to Daniel, but Daniel refuses all this and puts himself upon the humblest diet the poorest of all herbs, called pulse, and plain "/aier. His attendants cry Out against this r.nd tell him he will perish under such a diet. "No," he says, "you try us for ten days, and if at the end of that time we are not full checked and rotuct as any, it will be surprising." Ten days pass along and the students ccrne up for examination, and all deck.:-3 that none are so ruddy and robust r.s Daniel and his fellow captives:. Tho days of industrious pupilage and the years pass by, and the day of graduation has come, and Daniel zets his diploma, signed by the kint~ and reading as follows: "In ail matters of wisdc.v.i and under- _ l standing that the kinr, inquired of thorn he found then ton times better than all the magicians ar>! astrologers that were in all his real:.-:." And so Daniel took the first honor, and here the story ends, for Dsnid the student hereafter will be Dani?! minister. Perdu of Yonnjf J?."-. The young are more in p •: they are unsuspecting. The . asleep in their soul, and tiu is not suspected. The tine •hip's company makes mutiny the watchman is off his guard. When a spider meets a fly, it does not say, "Go down with me to the place where I murder insects." No; It says, "Come and take a bright morning walk with me on this suspension bridge of glittering gossamer." Oh, there is a difference between the sparkle of a »erpent'i eye and the crush of its slimy folds* There-is a difference between the bear's paw toying with a kid and the ereckjing of the bones i s the terrific ^ug.

Let mo say to those Christian parents who are doing their best in the education of their children: Take good heart; your sons this morning may be far away, from you and in a distant city, but God to whom you dedicated them, will look after them. The God of Danie' will take care of them far away in Babylon. "Train up | child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." He may wander away for awhile and fall into sin and break your heart, but before he is done with this life, you have commended him to God, he will come back again, for I put the emphasis in the right place and on the word "old" when 1 repeat that passage and say, "Train up a child in the way ho should go, and when he is old he wiil not depart from it." May you all have the glorious satisfaction of seeing your children walk in pathB of righteousness and peace! One with them on earth, -may yen be one with them in heaven! But I learn also from this subject the beauty of Christian sobriety. The meat and^ the wine that jyere to come to Daniel's table were to come from the king's table. Well, Daniel had no right to take that food. The king was' a heathen.and like all the heathen was accustomed to ask a blessing before he partook of food, and in that blessing they always dedicated the food to the gods. So that If Daniel had taken this food he would have broken the law which forbade the taking of food dedicated to idols. He chose pulse. It wt:s a miracle that he did not dwindle away. There is nothing in pulse, such a poor herb, to make a man ruddy and healthful. Some people talk as though that were a kind of diet which would make a man swarthy and competent to do the duties of this life. That is not the lesson at all. But for a positive miracle Daniel would have dwindled away, and when God for his self denial puts upon him this benediction he puts a benediction upon all Christian sobriety. Temptation to Dissipation. But, oh, how many temptations to dissijKitlcn! With so many things to tempt the appetite, how many temptations to gluttony! With so majy sparkling beverages, how much temptation to drunkenness! Could I bring before you this moroinz the mothers and the wives and the sisixr?: who have wept at the graves of the inebriate, your soul would be overpowered with the spectacle. Could I show you the manly forms robbed of their beauty, the eyeflashings quenched in the wine cup, the ruddy cheek from which rum has wormed the ro39, your souls would recoil with horror, and you would rise up and cry, "Begone, thou dream of hell!" Charles Lamb, who made all the world laugh at his humor, and then afterward made all the world weep at his fate, who outwitted everybody and wa3 at last outwitted of his own appetites, wrote thus: "The waters have gone over me; but out of the depths, coula I be heard, I would cry out to all those who have act a foot in the perilous flood. Could the yoath to whom the flavor of the first wine is delicious a3 the opening scenes of his life, or the entering upon some newly discovered paradise—could he look into my desolation and be made to understand what a dreary thing it is when a man shall feel himself going t'own a precipice with open eyes and a passive will; to see his destruction and have no power to stop it, yet feel it all >'.bo way emanating from himself; to see all godliness empty out of hlm$ and yet not able to forget the time when it waa otherwise; to bear about the piteous spectacle of his own ruin~cou!d he see my feverish eye, feverish with . last night's drinking and feverishly looking for tonight's repetition of that f o l l y - could he but feel the body of the death out of which I cry hourly with feeble outcry to be delivered, it were enough to make him dash the sparkling beverage to the earth in all the pride of its mantling temptation." • Touching Reproof. I waa told at Dea Moines of a train oi cars going through a very stormy night over one of the western prairies. ••The young man who was present told us the story. In the night there was a little child in the sleeping car, fretful and worrying and crying hour after hour. A man on the opposite side of the car lost his patience and saiU, "Either make that child abut up oi take it to its mother!" Then another man on the opposite tide of the sleeping car—a man wkb-a-broken hoart— J until the morning* end &*> the PM think of Pike's peak.

He. la eet down amid excitements and amid associates who are «not ovcrcafeful about, their words and thoughts and actions. Morning comes. No family altar. Sab- 1)ath comes. No rural quiet. Th£ sanctuary comes, but all the faces are strange, and no one cares whether he comes to church or does not come. On his way home from the store ha sees a placard announcing a rare, and vivacious amusement. He has no greeting at the door of the boardiug house. He has no appetite for the food. No one cares whether he eats or does not eat— rather he would not eat—-it is cheaper!, After the tea ho soes into the parlor, takes up a beak, finds if dull, no sister to look ever it with him. — {Joes up stairs to his room in the third story, finds it cold and uninviting, and in despair he rushes out, caring for nothing but to get something to make him stop thinking. H.^ is caught in the first whirl of sin. He has started out on tho. darn sea where the gleam of the joy is the flashing of the pit and the laughter i3 the croaking of the gate of the- lost.—Oh, how many graves there. S£S.

Tomorrow morniug on all the thoroughfares, in every steamboat and in every rail car will be young men going forth to seek their fortunes in our great towns. O Lord God of Daniel, help them to be as faithful in Babylon as they were in Jerusalem! Forget not, O my youpg friend, In the great seaports the moral and religious principles inculcated by parental solicitude, and if today seated in tho bouse of God you feel the advantage of early Christian culture forget not those to whom you are most indebted and pray God that as old age comes upon them and the shadow of death the hope of heaven may beam through the darkness. God forbid that any of us through our misconduct should bring disgrace upon a father's name or prove recreant to the love of a mother. The dramatist made no exaggeration when he exclaimed, "How oharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child!"

MUMMY IN CEILING* Body of a o Inquisitive Cat F*>and After Many Yt-arj. Egyptian mummies are.not so much of a rarity nowadays as they once were, in fact they may even at present be looked upon as an article of commerce, but the body of a mummified cat found at Germantown has claims to be regarded as a curiosity. The mummy is now to be seen in the window of 14 Chelten avenuef, Germantown. The preservation of *bo body is perfect, the ears and even the tail being in good condition. The house indicated is occupied by the family of J. S. Pryor. Mrs. Pryor says j that when the ceiling of the Methodist Episcopal church, on Haines street, was being torn down for repair Oct. 24, 1877, the workmen came across a hard substance embedded in the ceiling. On being dug out the substance was cast aside. Mr. Pryor, who was watching the repairs, brushed the accumulated dust and dirt from the castoff object, and the mummified body of & cat appeared/ How the quadruped got into the interior structure of the ceiling, there to die, is a mystery. The church was built in 1958. The only plausible theory so far presented la that the cat, by some means, got into the ceiling while the original plastering waa in progress and tarried until sealed in. Tho plaster on hardening became air-tight and the oat by exhausting the air in It* ad opted prison call unconsctoualy preserved its body Intact The Pryoralntend to give the curiosity some day to the Philadelphia Academy of Natural fe*anota>-Ph41adeiphia Timet, Love Is one part inatte^t and 9*fi* parta imagination. steamersT until they reach the hlgherr: temperature of the Gulf.

Zembia. It is a matter of surprise to persons I who become acquainted with icebergs for the first time to learn that they are frozen fresh water, and are not salt. They are formed of fresh water, frozen many centuries ago, during which they have been slowly traveling to the sea. * The danger of navigation by Icebergs is very great, and many a good ship lost mysteriously at jea has foundered from collision with one of them drifting across its path in the night or in a dense fog. In 1891 the steamship Miranda, carrying a party of scientist* to Greenland, came Jnt-j collision with an iceberg in the straits of Belle Isle, almost foundered, and was compelled to run to St. John's, Newfoundlander repairs. In crossing Davis Strait the Miranda again encountered numberless icebergs of all sizes and of the greatest variety ' of fantastic shapes. Sailing toward one of these, a spirited discussion arose on board as to lis size, the estimates made putting it all the way from 200 to 1,000-feet in height It' was measured by the sextant and waa found to be 800 feet high, and to cover an area of five acres. Thus it was three and one half times as nigh as the steeple of Trinity church, in New York, or nearly twice as high as the Washington monument. The specific gravity of ice is such that the proportion of it when floating is one part above the water line to eight parts below. This would make - the entire height of the iceberg meas* ured by the Miranda 7,200 feet, or more than one and a quarter niile& The berg had an area of five acres, which, put into a square, gives a quadrangle measuring 515 feet on each side. The number of cubic feet in tho mass may be arrived at my multiplying 515 feet length, by 515 feet depth, by 7,200 feet height. This results In . the enormous sum of 1,909,620,000. cubic feet. A cubic foot of ice weighs -. about sixty pounds, hence this iceberg, weighed approximately 114,577,- ' 200,000 pounds, or 57,288,600 tons. The great depth to which icebergs sink in the sea prevents closer approach to shore than five to ten miles. , The temperature of northern watera" above latitude 58 degrees is below 48 degrees Fahrenheit, and the' air is only from one to six degrees higher. Therefore the icebergs melt very alow* ly until they drift to the edge of the Gulf Stream. •Seen at tea, the distance and dimensions of icebergs are very deceptive. One seen off the'coast of Labrador by the party on the Miranda looked from , a distance like a low tableland ^nly a few feet above the surface of the waler. The scientist* rowed eight mfle* to make a closer inspection of U, and : then discovered that ita walla were fifty feat high and that the b w , % two and » half miles long.—New* YorV Herald..

It is believed that the first Americans who ever succeeded in bluffing their way into the House of Lords are Dr. Frederick L. Forker and Ralph D. Smith of Binghamton, who haa just returned from a European trip. The tourists visited the vacant chambers in Parliament Building when they first went to Europe two months ago, but at that time neither House was irf session. When they returned to London week before last and learned that both Housee were in session they determined to try to witness the working of the most dignified and august body in the world, the House of Lords. Inquiring at their hotel they learned that no tickets are Issued for admittance to that House, in fact that there are no admittances, except to friends, who are taken in by members. They learned that the American Embassy has two tickets each day for admission to the House of Commons, and that it is also much easier to get admitted to that boily through some member. They visited the Embassy, but learned that all tickets were spoken for weeks in advance. The attaches of the Embassy could suggest no way in which they could secure admittance unless they knew some member. Al- STATE TICKET. Governor—Frederick L. Goodriejf, ' Albion. % Lieut.

Frice 25 cents, quaintance list, they visited the Cunard agent who had shown them courtesies when they first landed. He could suggest nothing, until he remembered that he knew a member of the lower house. He promised to see what he could do for the tourists. That night he came to their hotel bringing them two tickets from his Member acquaintance which would admit them to the House of Commons. When they suggested their desire to visit the House of Lords to several Englishmen, the Britishers simply gaped in wonder at the men whose nerve would prompt them to think of such a thing. ' *• ' On July 19 the tourists were admitted to the gallery of the House of Commons, where they listened for some time to the weighty discussion on the advisability of permitting the Irish language to be taught in the schools of Ireland. This debate eoon became too tame for the Americans, and they left the House in quest of larger game. They started down the long hall leading to the assembly chamber of the upper house. Soon they were stopped by the uplifted hand of a guard. "S-s-t. You mustn't come here. The House of Lords is in session." The Americans were not to be stopped by such trifles. They engaged the guard in conversation, and soon they had secured his v graces. Then they explained . the situation and asked him to help them get into the House. "Don't you knew some Lord?*' in* Subscribe for Diapatch.

The Americans believed that this was good advice, as it put them one guard nearer the goal. They presented themselves to the stiff officials, who stood at the outer door of the House, and Mr. Smith said: "We. would like to see Lord Aberdeen." "The guards were inclined to argue the question, but the Americans stood their ground, emphasized their demands, and convinced the guards that they were important dignitaries. Their cards were carried in to the former Governor-General of Canada. "Does His Lordship expect you?" inquired one of the guards. "I don't know as he expects ua today,'' replied Mr. Smith. But the waiting time, my brothers, was the hardest time of all," explains Dr. Forker, in describing the incid n t While we stood debating what we should do next, the guard loudly announced: 'Lord Aberdeen.' Turning, we saw behind us a pleasant looking, but very dignified, well-dressed man of middle age, am: then we knew we had feot to see the game to the end. Putting on his best brand of bluff Mr. Smith stepped up to his Lordship and began: "Mr. Aberdeen, we ewe yen ;«n apology, but we wish to get into the House of Lords, and we were referred to you to take us in." "Mr" Aberdeen was too much surprised to speak at first, so the young attorney explained: "We have Just come from the House of Commons." "How Aid you get into the House of Commons?" inquired Lord Aberdeen. "On ^CRets from a member." "What member?" "Why it was—ah—it was-r-what member was it, Doc?" "I never thought to look at the ticket," said the physician, "Well reallj, Mr. Aberdeen, we've fornrottn tlr> member's name," explained Mr. Smith. A very wise adventure, gentlemen," suggested his Lordship with a trace of sarcasm. But hi? twinkling eyes showed that he appreciated the humor of the situation. "Come with me," and he led the way through the anterooms, opening into the assembly chamber. **•* BRITONS EYESIGHT ?w .*, countries.

"There are more people with defective eyesight in the cities of this country than you will find in Great Britain oi Ireland," said the naturalized New Yorker who served in the British army when he was a very young man and who is now an optician. "I do not judge by the number of people who wear glasses here, as in American cities glasses are worn if there is the slightest trace of nearsightedness, while few persons wear glasses for this cause in the old country unless they are so nearsighted that the wearing of glasses is a positive necessity. But, taking it on the whole, there are more people here whose eyesight begins to fail at a comparatively early age than in England, Ireland or Scotland, and fewer people who have exceptionally keen eyesight. "In the British army you will find a dozen men with exceptionally good eyesight for one youi will find in the American army, and I know a good many soldiers in this country. I once knew a private of the First Leicester regiment who has since been killed in the fighting near Ladysmith. This man had such keen eight that he could tell the time by a church clock at a distance oi several miles, yet, stranga to relate, he" cfiuToTnoT read very small print in a book. I also knew a man in one of the Lancer patrols who had wonderful eyesight. In the Transvaal long ago what appeared to his watchful chums one day as a mass of veldt heather, dim and blurred in the distance, was seen by him as an ambupcade cunningly concealed and bristling with Boer riflemen. His splendid Bight on that occasion saved him and his comrades an unpleasant surprise. "I have heard of American soMi:rs who are sharp sighted, but, as I said before, their number is much smaller in proportion than in the Brftish army. One of theee Americans i3 a man named Cullen, who can see objects clearly at a distance of twelve miles. During the Spanish-American war, Cullen, who is an artilleryman, aided his battery very materially in sighting the guns for long'ranges and always by xhis unaided vision. "I account for the standard of eyesight being better 1n the old country than here principally because of the gray skies there. There are so few sunny days in Great Britain and Ireland that the eyas are not subjected to the same strain as in this country where there U a far greater proportion of sunny days, and the mat. rays are more vertical than in more northerly THE DRAFT HORSE tome Poluts to B e Comidered in Reffard | 9 toe Oenerul Vtl ity of » H o n e . The general utility of a horse is no t the only standard by which. It shculd be" }udged, aays a writer in Stoc*r breeders' Magazine. Autboritie* have marked out its various external features, and these points are cons.derad. Foreheac)—It is essential that this feature should be highly 'developed and that it should gradually nario.sv downward from a broad and wellformted base. Face—Much depends on the formation of thds part; an arched or Roman cut,-with a tendency to slope toward the muzzle, is a desirable characterstic. Ncstrils—As these organs play a most important part in the innate economy _ot the hoiees, they should be well formed Largeness is a material desideratum, while the skin should be of fine texture, pliant and free from cuiticular bleimishes. Muzzle—The animal's sense of touch Is mostly concentrated at this point. The feature, too, Is indicative of the breeding. Eye—Biightness, prominence and good size are points necessary in this organ, the eyelid being thin. Neck—Length, depth and a nice tapering toward the head should be evident. Form is obtained materially from graceful arching of the neck. Shoulders — Without well-formed shoulders, the draft horse is not of much worth. These important point3, the eeat of the posterior muscles, should slope toward the chine, and possess both width and depth. Breas-t—Muscularity -and width should mark the formation of the bosom. Arm—Fine muscular power should be ipresent at the juncture of thi3 member with the shoulder-blade. It should stand prominently from the trunk, indicate power, and be broad and well formed. Elbow—This feature should not point Inward; if anything, It should incline in the opposite direction. . Knee—Flatness, good size and a clean appearance are the necessary elements of this joint. Cannon-bone—Sheathed in strong muscles, this IJone, from knee to pastern, should be straight and clean. Fine, silky hair on the tendons, from the kn& to the fetlock, should be present. Coarse hair is a sign of weakness. Pas>tern&—These are the source of the elaFtic spidng of <the animal when In motion. They should be long and sloping. Undue labor manifests itself here, knuckling over, ring-bone and abnormal testification. Foot—This member should be proportionately large, with good width a.t heels. It should al?o be nicelv di?h. ed, rlsng toward the front. Elari^ ity and toughness are necessary po;n*s in the hern. As rins-bone manifests itself by a bony protuberance on the coronet of the crust, care shou'ld always be exercised to see that this malformation is not present when an an'- mal Is bred). Whlthers—From a broad top these should slope to-the back, arching to the crest. Back—Shortness is a, necessarv feature here, together with muscular irndi cations. Loin—This part of the animal must be fleshy, and of much strength and bi eaddlhi. Flank—The underline should be straight all along. Depth is, too, a nce^sary feaiture. Ribs—Well-rounded ribs, springing cle^n from the backbone, to impart a cylindrical ari>2arance, together with dfepth, sfhould be the form of this part of the an'mal. Girth—Roundness and depth impart' an appearance of stability and strength. Sheath—Forward placement and good development are desirable. Quarters—These should fall well down to tlhe gaskins, and be .deep, broad, and of great muscular Sevelopanent. Gaskins—Likewise muscular and short. Hocks—Here is one of the main ipolmts. A draught horss depends on the hock joint, for his usefulness: It is a complicated and wonderful structure. While the animal here I s equal to enormous strain, the hocks arc easily liable to injury and thie affections of disease. The joint should be deafly defined, and afford evidence of greai, strength. Hips—The points here essehQaT are squareness at the top, with fulness and wld^h. » For sprains, swellings and lameness there is nothing so aoodju Chamberlain'* Pain Balm, Try it. Pot sale by ^.

There- is no dispute rei garding its manufacture, sale and use__for mecbanical, medical or .sacramental purposes. i We may also dismiss from the discussion as irrelevant and misleading the claim that "all trades are alike—they exist for one end j—the almighty dollar." It would be more correct to say that all . trades exist for the supplying of some human want for which service the dollar is given in return. But here comes in the difference between trades in the eyes of the constitution and laws of Ohio, and in the eyes of "so many people." Some trades supply a neccessary and imperative need of human nature, among which are banking and merchandising. They administer to indispensible necessities of human nature. They pertain to inalienable rights of human nature. Others, among wt}ich is the traffic in intoxicating beverages, minister to a created, artificial, depraved appetite. They are connected with no in herent rights. As a result of this difference, constitutions and laws discriminate between the two sorts of trades. The laws of Ohio diffeitiate them broadly. They look favorably upon banking and merchandising. They look unfavorably upon selling liquor as a beverage. IJow the constitution and laws of Ohio regard the traffic in intoxicating liquors may best be known by the constitutional provision on the subject which is as follows:— uNo license to traffic in intoxitssm is siate; but the Genem! AsaemWjr way, fey - law, p?oyide against evils resulting therefrom." ".r; .-^'.\. , + ;••-.'

It is not the privilege of a citizen of the State or the U. S." That is, it does not rest upon the same basis that any legitimate business of the country does. It is a business that is completely sudject to the polioe power, as likely to be criminal, and needing continually to he watched as no lawful business does. It was contended in the same case that the liquor traffic, as supplying drink rested upon the same basis as the traffic in breadstuff's —^the very contention of the National Advocate—the contention being, according to the statement of the Supreme Court, "that what a man shall drink, equally with what he shall eats is not properly matter for legislation." Kegard1 ing this the Court said:— "Thore is in this position an assumption of a fact which does not exist,—that when the liquors are taken in excess, the injuries are confined to the party offending. The injury, it is. true, first falls upon him in health, which the habit undermines, in his morals which it weakens, and in the selfabasement which it creates. But as it also leads to neglect of business, waste of property, and general demoralization, it effects those who are immediately connected with and dependent upon him." The Constitution of the U. S. and of Ohio therefore proceed upon the following well defined and established pritic pies regarding. the traffic in intoxicating liquors: (1) The liquor traffic in intoxicating beverages has no inherent right to exist It is not on the basis of bread making or banking. It does not come under the head of those things protected by the Constitutibn of the U. S. as neccessary to "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. (2) It exists simply as a tolerated evil. It can be said to be Jawful, not in the serse that breadmaking or banking is lawful, vjz as being inherently right, but in the far different sense that there may be no prohibitor law against it It is, in the Scripture phrase "winked at becauso of the hardness of men's hearts."

We are not concerned now with the correctness or incorrectness of the theory of the law in this last respect The sole point we. are making is that the^ law goes, upon the assumption that the traffic is a toletated evil. When therefore a saloonist talks about his traffic being lawful, legitimate, respectable, and the like, he can only, mean—speaking exactly— that it is not now prohibited in the sense that theft, robbery and murder are prohibited. It is tolerated as belonging to an imperfectancLJanlty condition of society, to be corrected as far as possible by moral education and regulatory laws. It is not lawful in the sanse that banking (which is substantially the process cf exchanging human commodities) or merchandising (which is the supplying of human wants) is lawful as being part of the inherent rights of human nature. It is lawful only in the sense that society has not yet in its own opinion got up to the point of abolishing it. It is under the ban, needin regulation, and supposed to be in process of extinction.

The per cent harvested was, in the southern count i e s 74, in the central 77, and in the northern 85. This would indicate that t h e total number of acres of wheat t h a t w a s harvested was, in the southern- eouutics 037.615, j n the central counties 205,553, in the northern count i e s 74.337, and in the state 1,217,505 acres. ' ^ b e final estimated yield per acre for t h e number of acres harvested is in the 1 southern counties 7 bushels, in the central counties 0 bushels, in the northern counties 0 bushels, and in the state 8 bushels. From this we would estimate that the total yield for 1000 is 10,000,000 bushels, The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed by fanners in September at the flouring mills is 383.526, and at the elevators 176,310, or a total ot 550.842 bushels. Of this whole amount 405,769 bushels were marketed in the southern four tiers of counties, 130,342 bushels in the central counties and 23,731 bushels in the northern counties. The total number of bushels of -wheat reported marketed in the two months, August and September, is. 1,621,142, which is 5I1,S02 bushels less than reported* marketed in the same months last year. At 20 mills and •elevators from which reports have been received, there was no wheat marketed i n September. The total amount of wheat shipped by railioads from the various Stations, as reported for Anguati is 300,242 bushels.

A large pumpkin sweet apple had so grown into an old bird's nest that it was completely enveloped/ by it, the nest forming a network all around it. In those portions of the state where potato raising is an important industry the country school teachers are having a vacation for a short time. The schools are closed so that the children may help dig potatoes before the heavy frosts come. If all the canning factories are like the one at Lawrence they must be good things all around. The one ^licre, according to the local paper, is paying out 8750 per week in wages and wilt declare a divklcnd of 20 per cent to the stockholders. The question submitted to the taxpayers of Port HuiTm to raise 825,000 additional city bonds to construct a canal from Lake Huron to Ulaek river passed by a voUr of 308 to 109. This makes $100,000 appropriated for the construction of the canal. People on Main street were shocked the other day to see the wife of a local parson, emerging from the front door of a saloon, says the Eaton Rapids Journal.

The senate from the start maintaining a strenuous opposition t o the clause "permitting the classifies-' tion of corporations for the purpose of t a x a t i o n / and substituting the "ave** age rate," The senate's "average rate" proposition Was referred back to the house, and that body and the members of the state tax commission protested against the senate amendment on the ground that under it all corporations would hereafter be included in the "average rate/' should the proposed amendment pass, and that it would be impossible for the state, at any time in the future to pass any laws, such as are in force in other states, for a franchise tax on street railways, or enable the adoption of any plan to support the state by corporate tax. After eon* sidcrable oratory the house finally xe~ fe**ed the measure, inclusive- of the senate amendment, to the honse judiciary committee and the members of that body, together with senators and the tax commissioners reviewed the matter thoroughly. The senators insisted that to pvovidc in the constitutional amendment that railroad and other corporations should be taxed at the "average rate" of taxation in the state would forever provide equitable corporate taxation; that no objection whatever could possible be made to these corporations paying the same rate of tax as alj other property. They urged that an "average rate" would stand in court if it was the same rate found by the state board of assessors. When the house met the following morning this compromise state of affairs was well understood, and that body adjourned to give the senate time in which to recall its constitutional amendment and effect the desired changes. This accomplished the house by a vote of 81 to 2 passed the constitutional amendment measure for ad valorem taxation of railroads, as it came from the senate, and it now only needs the governor's signature to insure that the people will be given an opportunity to vote upon it this fall.

The chief business of the first day's session was the reading of the governor's message by Clerk Miller. Following the reading of the message Sneaker Adams and President Kobison started the ball rolling by delivering s*.ort addresses before the house and senate where they preside. The Hngrec idea of the proper resolution to adopt was introduced in the house by Representative Wayne, of Midland, on the 10th, and it went to the committee on judiciary. In this committee the classification part was quickly knocked out, and when the committee got through with it the resolution was much like the senate idea, except that the paragraph proposing to limit the amount per capita that should be turned into the primary school fuad had been stricken out. All the business of the session having been transacted by the 13th. the house adjourned until the 15th, just as the senate had done a few moments before. This ended the special session, for the presence of only the presiding officers and chief clerks are required in bringing a session to its final end. Most of the legislators left for home on the night trains. A resolution was introduced by Senator Say re on the 11th, vailing on Gov. Pingree to send in a message asking tiie legislature to make an appropriation for repairing the north wing of the industrial school. * The committee on judiciary did not take kindly t o the idea of limiting the amount of money that should go into the primary school /nod, as was pro* posed by Collector Rich.

For a moment Henri paused irresolute, glaring at'her; then he gave way 'a step, mnd«he was through the drawing room and-half way upstairs before be could realize that he had been bafited and refused by this girl of 19.

Madame ^openly espoused her son's cause, saying it was strange Mollle oosid refuse one so handsome and deyoted, fiarvwiom other girls were sighing in rain. Slowly and steadily she tried to force her into the hated engagement, implying that it would be -a great relief.to her mind to have her married to so estimable a young man, the o*2y fake she could countenanca tor bar; and well Mollle knew what this latter remark meant—neither Mr. • Anstrnther iter any one else need expect bar consent. As for Henri, he . was worse than ever, following • he.- OTerywhere, sullen or sentimental by tnrsa. repeating his proposals whenever he had an opportunity; and the only friend aire ;had in the Jiouse was her little hs2*-s&ter, Kate. For the strange.child, ever sinve the Eaater eve when she had flown to Jiollie for protection, had attached herself to her wtih a quist persistence.that was both aautsing and touching. Every Sight she Covad her rolled up fta one corner of her bed asleep, or pmtafldi a g to be, and the fear of losiug this privilege made her try to check this . Irritability that was part of her temperament, and be mora amenable to the sorely-tried .governess. / Thla much MaUie exacted, though «he would never have had the heart to eaforee it, for the little one's nerves were is a terribly strained state, and , Mollis'* room seemed bar haven of refuge. There ahe salt sate—there, darh or light, nothing could touch her; there ahe never had horrible dreams. Bad things eooM net come sear Mollia, who was so sweet and Day by day she followed her about, at first with shy denanee, at last with unconcealed affootloa and a fuuAj sBQtherly solicitude, and ere the roses began to-bloom there wa» ^no crime so great in her eyes as to hurt Mo;iie. "What is the matter^ asked Mollle ono morning, when she found her prancing about tho 4la\vn in a fury, scolding like a, young virago the gardener, who was marking out a* tennis court "Mi;S3s says she won't have no court here," said the man helplessly, touching his cap, "and the gentleman ordered me to mark one." "It is my lawn; I won't allow it! He has no right to meddle, and I shall tell Aunt Clare so;" she stormed; "But I would teach you to play," Mollle said quietly. It was no idle threat on Kate's part, she knew. Her father's will strictly enjoined that her wishes- were to be indulged, and madame happened to be in a frightful temper that day. "Would you like it?" demanded Kate, stopping abruptly. "I think it would be nice." "You can go on, John," she said imperiously to the man. "Anything Mis3 L'Estrange desires is to be-done." It was the same in_everything. Her little face would grow haggard with anxiety when Mollie drove with madame, and she h\d no peace until she met her on the steps; while one morning, when Mollis awoke, she heard her murmuring away to herself, and a furtive peep revealed the little maid sitting up In her frilled nightgown, nursing her knees, her flaxen curls falling thickly rcund her shoulders. "She is so pretty; look at her long, curling lashes!" she was whispering In a tone of satisfaction. "But I should love her anyhow, for she is my sister; she is my own Mollie, my very own Mollie!" "My own Mollie!" Just what her mother had always called her. Mollie knew better than to move or disturb the child, but from that moment she was never "my half-sister Kate" again, but the little sister her mother had left to her, to be guarded and shielded by every means in her power, to be loved and taught all that Mollie, humble in her strength, could teach her, that together they might struggle along that narrow path which leads to eternal life. CHAPTER -VIIT. was a hot August evening, and after Mollle had heard Kate's hymns and prayere—for which purpose she always went upstair* after dinnershe took P. book and sat at the wide open window in preference t© returning to the drawing room. She often did this now, for lately things had been worse than ever, Henri more persistent. At first Kate tossed about, restless with the heat, but at length her regular breathing showed that she slept; and MoUie's bsok dropped unheeded, JUS she «5nt watching the harvest lightning flashing across the darkening sky. She was thinkExg of Reggie. Who had been obliged to leioin his regiment in Ireland months ago, without saying good-by to her, though he :had brought Joyce up to Chalfont to call for that purpose. Madame had never mentioned this. She only heard it from Joyco later, when it seemed too late to be angry, though she was very sorry. Sh"e had missed him dreadfully. Retverton was not the same place somehow when there was no chance during their walks and drives of seeing his tall, upright figure swinging along, but be used to send all sorts of messages through Joyce. He would come back,' and, meantime, she devoted herself to Kate, who daily grew happier and more childlike. Mrs, Anstrnther and Joyce did their best for her; .but madame cut her off from every one, and lately they had been away, which was a great matter cf regret, for it was something to feel their friendly presence near,- though she was free to wander In the woods and fields with Kate in their absence. The scent of a cigar, chairs being dragged along the paptilea below, and voices, made her lean further out of the window. Madame and Henri were evidently sitting there! How clearly their voices were borne upwards in the still air—little they guessed how plainly! Mollie would have moved away, feeling that ahe ought not to listen had ahe not taught a few word*; then s*e leaned forward with all her might' '. "Kate's money cannot be touched. I have gotvtU 1 can—every farthing. 1. literally do not know wh*re to turi for f a penar." And, madamtfa. voice aouadV ed harsh and weary. *Tou must marry the girl; her .fortune will last you for a time. X can do nothing more yet'" . ! .• . - "Baht Marry the girl!" He mimicked her angrily. "It is easy to say, but she will not have me. Truly, me mere, I have a respect for her more than 1 have felt for any woman before. When I look into those beautiful eyes of hers, so young, so frank, I want her as 1 baye wanted no one else. Were s h e my wife I eould trust her absolutely; ( I would even try to be a good hua~ ' band.v - "You love her!"- madamo said Jealously. "There, now,'you will upbraid me for that!" he sneered. "But she will never have me, she adores that Anstruther; they love In English fashion. Ton may give up all Hopes of bending la belle Mol-lee to our will unless you can get her away from Reverton. Come to Paris." ", "I cannot. You 'know by your uncle's will I am obliged to live at Chalfont with Kate. Oh, if I could enly get away from the place—get 'away!" • And her voice rose with strange trembling intensity that was almost a wall. "There, do not begin that!" he muttered, with callous impatience. "To continue from where we started, 1 must have money! You have large sums for both girls." "You have had most of it." she retorted. "A* also that large sum through your uncle's check." "Hush! we need qot speak of that You have been ever the best of mothers, as also the handsomest." "Ah, Henri, my son, you are my all!" she said, in a softened voice. "All I want is your love, and now you would care more for this girl. Now, listen, you must marry her, for in that way 1 can assure your fortune. True, her fortune is not so large as Kate's, but did anything happen to the child she would have all. Kate is very delicate. Any one can see that. And it would surprise no one if, after your marriage, she did not live long." There was a moment's silence. The listener above started and clenched her hands. A match was struck,, Henri was evidently lighting a fresh cigar. Then his high voice said lightly: "Ah, ma belle mere, you are clever! That Is certainly to be considered. 1 had thought of it also!" They had moved into the drawingroom, and Mollie, white with wrath and dismay, crept quietly to the bed, and stood looking at the sleeping child. Poor little girl! Her whole life she had been made the center for the evil passions of others, and now a fresh danger threatened her. "Touch Kate!" thooght Mollie, with beating heart, as ahe gently brushed the fair curls from the small thia face. Touch her little sister! Not while she, Mollie, oould protect her. And she would rouse all Reverton; she would fight them by every means in hei* power, before this nervous, -excitable child HflTi i I . Jill J , •>/>•>'J '• ' li1 TO t m * W ff*»i«>*»w*f* The Illinois State Horticultural S o eiety will make an exhibit of fruits, consisting mainly of apples, at the Pan-American Exposition. at Buffalo In 1901. The exposition will open May 1 and close Novembur 1, and it is intended to have' the fruit exhibit continuous, from the opening to the close. The apples for this show must come largely from thia season's crop, and In order to have them properly represent the fruit interests of the state the specimens must bexe?jrefully selected, wrapped, paoked and placed In cold storage until wanted, for exhibition. The Horticultural Society expects that fruit will be contributed for this purpose^ by- individual growers, horticultural societies and other y organizations. Proper credit will begiven the grower, the society, and lo- [cality Ly entering the Xruit in the iame of- the grower and society the same.as.if he were making the exhibit in person, and by placards upon the ftuit when exhibited, giving the grower's name, locality and state. All fruit growers are ask 3d to aid In the matter of securing the fruit from this state. The society will do what it can, but it depends upon you, the grower, to make the exhibit fioiu Illinois a success. The exhibit will be largely a commercial cne, that is, one for the purpose of enlarging our foreign markets for applet, and this is a subject of great interest to Illinois fruit growers. i:iinbis siand3 in the front in the fruit exhibit at Paris this year, but in order to retain her prestige, must continue her work in the line cf exhibits of fruit and the opportunity presented at Buffalo should not be neglected. Shall the state be properly represented? This is for you to decide. You must do what you can. Will you contribute one, two, five or more barrels of carefully selected fruit, and ship it to cold storage in pioper season? Write the secretary, whose address you will find below, how much you will contribute and what varieties, and he will see that you have paper for wrapping the fruit and shipping tags furnished you. A^e your interested enough in, Illinois horticulture to do this? The commission will pay the freight, storage and all other charges and place the .fruit on the tables, without any charge to you. We want one hundred barrels of apples from this state and the amount will be small to each one, if each does his part. It will save expense to the society if you .will pick, wrap and pack the fruit, as per the directions which will be furnished you later, but If you find this will be Impossible, write the secretary, and some one will be sent to assist in the work. Not less than ont peck of any one variety should be furnished; one-half barrel or a full barrel of each variety preferred. It is not intended to collect a large number of varieties, but those most generally grown for market, therefore a full barrel cf one variety will be acceptable and Is de&Tred.—L. R. Bryant. Secretary, Princeton, Illinois. should suffer further. Then she remembered that she herself was Kate's great safeguard, so long as she did not marry Henri. And she would die rather; for the child was madame's largest .source of inccrme, and would be cared for accordingly. But as she sat in the garden the following afternoon she felt sick at heart. How could these people be so wicked. Lying back in an American chair, looking up into the great trees, she reflected ;Badly upon the terrible abuse of money. People would do anything for i t - scheme, iie, and cheat; and what did it come to in the end? for "They brought nothing into the woria\ neither can they carry anything out." She and Kate were very fond of*this part of Che garden. They spent all the hot afternoons there, and madam3 and Henri were out today, so it was • veryTjearefnl. Suddenly a bird, in the bushes sang a few notes, then a very clear whistle followed; but i t came from no bird's throat—it was a tune she knew well, but never expected to hear in the garden at Chalfont, and she sat up eagerly and looked round. There was Reggie, who ought to have been a .hundred miles away, standing a few yards off, clad in riding clothes, whip in hand, and a smile on his good-looking young face. "Well, what are you doing here?" she cried in amazement, with a decided access of color. "Why, your people are away!" "Oh, yes-; but I have just run down about the horses, you see," returned he glibly, coming quite close. "No; bother the horses. That is not it at all. So you remember the old tune, \ Mollier "It would be funny if I did not. You never whistle anything else." "But I never sang the words for you, did I? They go like this"—and la a clear mellow voice, Mr, Anstrnther eofUy trolled them out: Ex-Congressm&n A T. Qoodvyu. Ex-Congressman A. T. Qoodwyn.frOto Alabama, syrites the following letter!

(To be continued,* The u o n t f Hera.— — — Albert Pogier: One of the foremost considerations in beef production is that we, as stock raisers, snould grow our own stock. This 1 regard as a very important matter. The large number of failures in the cattle business points to the fact that we, as farmers, are not sufficiently well acquainted with the effects of acclimation and domestication of cattle brought from any great distance to the south or west. In other words, we are unfamiliar with the amount of shrinkage likely to occur during the. period of adjustment to climatic and other conditions. Nor do we understand the laws or growtn or these foreigners, and compare them toa favorably with well-bred animals at home. I could enumerate many stockmen and farmers who have nearly bankrupted themselves, largely on account of their unfamiliarity with the growth sod-development of these western breeds. Again, quite a number oi •farmers came to the conclusion some years ago that it did not pay to keep a cow herd; that the amount of feed and care they required rendered them unprofitable; that steers which they wanted could be bought cheaper than raised. These very same farmers are now struggling to develop their eow herds, and a good herd of them is envied almost above anything else on th* farm. This is another reason why it pays to keep right on raising one's own cattle. Nearly every farmer who has done so is1 less subjected to financial embarrassment because he is more able to make accurate calculations of his iacome. Then, again, some stock* raisers think there is always money to be made in full-feeding, when it very frequently happens that the steers full-fed would have netted the owner more clear cash if they had been sold off of grass. It is now apparently most profitable here to sell steers between two and three yearn old, whether fullfed or told off grass. Usually, four or Oared of Oatexrli ef Lafi* . > ^-1¾^ / ' ' • - • : ;i . .

Food Commissioner Grosvenor i n his monthly bulletin, issued on the 19th, discusses the subject of prosecutions for selling adulterated milk, a subject which has kept him pretty busy for several weeks. During the warm months of July and August in 1809, the commissioner says, over 8,500 samples of milk in cities and villages having no eity inspection of milk were examiued without the discovery of a single sample of milk in which • preservatives had been used. This year, however, a traveling salesman, represent* ing a house engaged in putting out a so-called milk preservative, came into the state. Inspectors were put upon his track. The presence of formaldehyde ana other milk preservatives deleterious to public health were discovered and a number of prosecutions resulted in conviction and the payment' of fines. As to the inspection in Detroit, it is stated that over 73 per cent, of the samples collected were found to contain formaldehyde. The commissioner complains that the Detroit board of health has allowed the dealers who were prosecuted access to their records for the purpose of proving their innocence.

During the early days of Youtsey's trial the prisoner exhibited signs of breaking down. While Arthur Goebel, brother of the dead man, was on the stand testifying, Youtsey rose to the prisoner's docket and denounced the witness in wild exclamations, while Youtsey's wife screamed that Goebel had sworn away the life of her husband.

In Paris, Russia is trj'ing to induce the Rothschilds to lend her ¢100,000,000. In New York one of the great international financial houses is trying to form a syndicate to lend Russia 830,000,000.

The announcement that he is going there will probably prove a disagreeable surprise to the French ministry, who had tried to persuade him to land elsewhere. Kruger is such a hero in France that M. Delcasse, the minister for foreign affairs, did not wish to add (o the anti- English demonstration that is expected to find expression in the chambers which is to convene Nov. ft, by having Kruger in the country.

Sun Yat Sen, according to- reports from Can tan, has- taken the t o w n of Kiu Shan, on East river, and is now investing the prefectoral city of Hui Chou. A force of imperial troops from Canton w as defeated by the reformers, 200 being killed. Detailed reports to the war office- of the occupation of Mukden, Manchuria,- show that the Russians met with strong opposition at Schacho, where the Chin*- ese with 30 battalions, 20 field guns, and Krupps and Maxims occupied the railway embankment and heights. The Russians lost 50 killed and wounded, but captured several guns. I t i s officially understood, t h a t if an international conference at The Hague regarding the settlement of the'Chinese indemnity question is finally decided on, it will not discuss with China the amount of compensation she must pay, but will confine its labors to fixing and distributing the proportion of the indemnity which shall go to the several countries interested. The Russian government permits it to become known that its attitude in China will be increasing independence of the concert of the powers. Russia, it is^ explained,, is disposed to attach less value t o joint action since ber in-' terests hare been fully secured by the successful campaign in Manchuria. Moreover. Russia is not willing to "follow the irreconeeivable policy of some of the p o w e r s ^ For the- Srs-t time in three days Minister Conger was heard from by the state department at Washington on the 19th. l i e communicated by cable the substance of propositions advanced by Prince Chiag and Li Hung Chang as a basis- for peace negotiations. It is believed that the last Chinese advance is in the nature of counter proposals to those of the French note on the theory that the proposed 'punishments are sufficient to meet the demands from.the powers in that respect. There is reason t o believe that the government will take favorable action on the latest propositiott of the French government.

It now appears that this ¢270,000 was only the value of gold coins and gold bars, taken from the Chinese treasury at Tien T^in and apparently it was only the money taken from the treasury which concerned Earl Li as a government official. Things of value were aiso obtained from other sources and it i s . now reported that the total value of the loot will reach a figure about ¢100,000 in excess of the amount originally reported. The gold coin and gold barm taken from the treasury were melted by order of Gen.. Chaffee.

"Look here, Mollie, will you—wont you? I love you awfully. I have Jus*, run over on the chance of seeing you, because I could not stay away any longer. And I hate to think of you here, with these people. Won't you look ot me? Do!" A most persuasive voice was Reggie's; but Maine's eyes were fixed on the point of her shoe, and she put her hands behind her when he attempted to take them. "Give me time to think." she -whispered in a subdued tone. "I can hardly believe that you are iGre. How did you find, me?" "Saw the Dubois in town, but they did. not see roe. Rode straight on and met the little kiddie, who brought me here. Told her that I wanted to speak to yora Tery particularly alone; and she flew -off and promised to keep watch lor the .return ol the enemy," said Reggae briefly. "Dear little Kittle!" "Won't you gay, 'Dear Reggie,' too, Mollie.?" he .suggested, eyeing her wistfully. "I have come all the way from Ireland to ask you." Then, as she flashed a quick, half*smiling glance at him, he added. " 'She who hesitates is lost;' 'Silence gives consent/ How usefully these ancient copybook say- >ing come in in one's old ~age, don't they." "They certainly seem to," allowed Mollie hesitatingly. And as there seemed no opposition offered to the arm Reggie had stolen round her, it stayed there, while, two not being able to sit with any comfort in an American cane chair, they repaired to the rustic seat, and were as happy and forgetful of -the world as mortal lovers could be for the next half hour, as they sat in the sunshine, in the springtime of youth, hope, and love. "Ofc, Reggie—Madam Dubois!" exclaimed the girl at length. "She will never, never consent; she means me to marry Henri." "Then we will pay Henri's country the compliment of taking French leave, my dear child," he returned gaily. But she shook her head. "I shall be of age in 18 months," she said shyly. "Eighteen centuries! Why, I hate to leave you here now!" "And I could not leave my poor little Kittie," she exclaimed, raising her eyes to his deprecatingly. "By then I hope she will be better, stronger. Oh, Reggie, couldn't you bargain with them -to give me Kittle? It would be—se k cruel to leave her; you cannot think how loving, how true to me the little pet is!" And she poured into his ear all that she had overheard that hot evening at the window. Reggie's face grew very pale as he liatened, and he gave a low whistle of dismay; but whatever he thought he was too wise to make his sweetheart more uncomfortable than she already was. But she had to promise that on no account would she even listen to Henri, against whom Reggie's sentiments were far from peaceful, and that if matters became worse " she weuhi take refuge at the White house, whither bis mother returned in a week's time. And then'Kate came running back to announce her aunt's retorn. "Oh, Reggie:!"' ejaculated Mollie, rising, and turning very pink. -"Sit down, child," he said calmly, dragging her back to his side, and taking Kate on ni« knee. ~Let them come.** Kate pushed back her -eurls and regarded him with a frown. She was very fond of Reggie, but— He understood the look, read the dawning jealousy of any one coming between Mollie and herself, in tnose sharp hazel eyes, which bad already discoverer the truth; and a s this tall, merry young officer's heart was as tender as a girl's towards those he cared for, he hastened to dissipate i t "You are going to be my sister, kidling," he said gently. ''I know," she answered, with trembling lips. "You will take her away/- "But she tellB me she cannot be happy without you, so we shall have to manage for you to come, too," he continued. "Now if you think that will be jolly, and we shall be the best brother and sister'going, never jealous of each other, signify the same in the usual manner by a kiss." And he was more touched than he liked to show when the little girl threw her arms round his neck in a transport of relief, happily unconscious of the obstacles that might come in their way. It was this group that madame, followed by her son, came in sight of, and great was her wrath. Nor was it in any way mollified when Mr. Anstruther advanced politely, and, after the usual greetings, informed her that Miss L'Estrange had promised to be his wife, and he trusted that he should have her consent; he was sure of that of the trustees, who were old friends of his father's. Madame was very suave at first, though Mollie knew the effort it must have cost her. She understood the firmiy-ehut mouth, the half-opened eyes; but, suave or not, she managed to convey plainly her decision. She not only could not sanction the engagement, but Miss L'Estrange must be considered quite free. "I don't wish to be free," said Mollie bodly, over his shoulder. "I have given Mr. Anstruther my word, and will not break it." "My sweet child, you are young, you do not know your own mind. Mr. Anstruther has taken advantage of finding you alone in my absence—" "I naturally wished to find Miss L'Estrange alone," answered Reggie, haughtily. "Oh, yes!" sneered* Heri, who had been standing biting his nails gloomily, in direful dismay. "It is well to pay court to the heiress, but she has protection. I—" He paused uneasily, yet Reggie had only stooped to pick up the riding whip which he had dropped, and then looked at him. But it was enoughhe said no more, while madame, going a shade paler as she watched the two younr men, uastened to ciose the interview. When Reggie left things were only what he had expected. Madame absolutely refused her consent, and declined to see him at Chalfont again, so far losing her temper as to utter innuendoes and insults, which she could say with impunity, as a woman, but which would certainly have brought Reggie's whip across the shoulders of her adored son. Reggie, for his part, courteously repeated that the engagement was a fact, and would be known all over Reverton; he was sorry for her decision, but it would alter nothing, only cause a Utile delay. Then, after a few words with Mollie, he reluctantly tore himself away, and she heard the gate clang behind him and watched him down the road until she was blinded by.her. tears. CHAPTER IX. is- so_bad again.!" "Is it, my pet? What can I do foi you?" said a sleepy voice, as Mollie roused herself from the slumber into which she had fallen by the side of the bed. "Kittie, it is striking 12 by the hall clock; 1 had no idea it was so late! I will go down to the drawing room and get the cloves; we left them there, and they may ease the pain a little." Kate sat up in bed, looking as miserable as a child with teeth ache can -look, and Mollie slipped off for the cloves, closing the door softly behind her. It was Easter eve once more; not balmy and soft like last time, but cola and frosty, witn a cruel east wind howling round the house, like the night two years ago when Leonard Barlowe had so mysteriously met his death. The "months that nad~~passed had been full of trouble and anxiety to Mollie L'Estrange, and she looked paler and thinner; but the gray ey«s were as fearless and sweeter than ever, lor the trials had been bravely borne, and if she could not#cuite love her enemies, she had at least endeavored to follow that splendid precept and return good for evil., Henri had been away for some weeks now; at first much to her relief, but latterly she had almost wished him back, for his mother's sake. Ever since his departure she had seemed consumed with restlessness, growing daily more morose and gloomy, and breaking into fits of passion for the merest trifle, while she watched Mollie with suspicious eyes, never allowing her to see the Ansjruthers, through whom alone she coutik<hear from Reggie, for both knew that the ordinary post would not be safe. Stealing quietiy down the dark 3talrs, Mollie gained the drawlngroom, and, possessing herself of the bottle of cloves, was returning, when as she got to the door she sa* a faint light at the top of the stairs. Whe was abroad in the house this nirrht of ell ethers, when no servant would stir alone, when they vowed that the ghost of Mr. Barlowe walked m . his haunts and a-light had been seen In his study? Drawing back against the heavy plush curtains in the hall, she watched with beating heart as it came glimmering nearer, not exactly frightened, hot with a curious awe and dread, a feeling that something was going to happen. A moment later, and madame— a lamp in her hand, a strange, dased glitter in her great black eyes—swept noiselessly past her and went straight to the study. The girl's first thought was to steal up stairs again, her next to creep across the dark hall after madame, and look in at the half-open door, and so, unthinkingly, she witnessed a sight that froze the blood in her veins an<* that she never forgot. For had she followed her first impulse and gone upstairs, neither she nor Kate would have been alive when daylight dawned that Easter day. On such slight things as this do great events hang! Madame put the lamp qn a table close by, and then stole with cat-like step to the back of the chair before the writing table, where the detectives said that Mr. Barlowe must have been sitting asleep at the time of the attack. Suddenly she raised her armB, holding them as if she had some heavy weapon in them, and went through the motion twice of bringing it down with terrific force on the back of some one's he?.d. s It was awful to see her face as she stood, there,'wild, fierce, watchful, hei features working convulsively as she eyed the empty chair as if it were occupied, her dark hair streaming down the light dressing gown she wore, hei breath coming in heavy gasps. After a minute she began muttering to herself, and leaned over as if to examine what was in the chair; then she went to the table and turned over the papers in a strange, troubled manner, her eye ever returning to that empty chair. "It is only what you deserve—what you deserve!" she muttered in a harsh, strained voice, addressing the chair. "You are a hard, bad man. I begged to you for mercy for my child—my son, my beloved—and you only laughed. What if he did forge your name? It was not for much. You are rolling in wealth—your wretched wife's money —and we are poor, and Henri is young and extravagant. But you shall not punish him. I helped you in the past, but that goes for nothing with such as you. You have only yourself to blamt that I have taken the law into my own hands. I would die a thousand times' rather than that you should expose my boy. Now you cannot say a word, and .1 take the proofs of his guilt and burn them!" , She went through the motions— phantomwise, yet strangely real—oi taking papers and thrusting them into the grate, apparently holding them down with the weapon she thought she held, doing it all in a strange, dull calm, which her twitching face belied. For some minutes she crouched over the empty grate moaning and wringing her hand£;then, when she evidently thought the papers and weapons destroyed, she rose, appeared to drag what was on the chair to the .window —which she threw wide open—and, before Mollie could move, she came swiftly out of the room, and, lamp in hand, went towards the" kitchen. To describe the feelings of the horror- stricken girl watching her would be impossible. As one act after another of this terrible drama was played out before her she felt powerless to move, almost to think. All her senses were bound up in the effort to keen her irembling knees from giving way under her, for well she knew that to make the least sound might cost her her /life!—No need to ask again who killed Leonard Barhrwe. She had been how it was done; she had seen everything— knew it was by his own sister's hand that the blow was struck. Yet frightened as she was Mollle'a courage did not desert her. She determined to see what took this wretched woman, whom she felt persuaded was mad, to the kitchen; so, with chattering teeth, she gathered her skirts together, and crept silently through the dark passages after her. The lamplight guided her to the butler's pantry, and there stood madame. holding her hands under a tap which she had not turned on, and muttering incessantly to herself. As she wrung the Imaginary, water off them and rubbed them on her skirt. It occurred to Mollie, with a cold chill of fear, that she was action by action following out just what she must have done that terrible night—that it was she whom the servants took for a ghost, who had frightened Kate by brushing past her in the dark. Suddenly madame's glance fell upon some knives lying on a table, and a gleam like fire flashed into her eyes, a gleam that had neither reason nor sanity in it, only cunning and fierce exultation. "Why not kill them both?" she muttered, standing still with a meditative look. "They are no use to Henri; the girl will not marry him; the child had better follow her father. Yes, yes: that will be best!" . (T<> be continued.) TRAMSVAAUWAR iTftM*. It is said orders for r,500,000 worth o$ railroad material will be placed in America by Maj, CMrourd, the young Canadian, who acts as director of railroads in the Transvaal, under Roberts. A dispatch fvom Lord Roberts, under date of Pretoria, Oct. Id, reports n number of minor affairs, but says that the only incident of importance was the surrender of Theunis Botha, brother of Commandant-General Botha, at Volksrust, Oct. 13. A dispatch from Lorenzo Marquez, dated the 15, says that the American bark, Fred P. Litchfield, went ashore there from her moorings during a gale on the 14th. In consequence of a suspicion that she was carrying Mr. Kruger's gold to the amount of £1,500,000, she was searched. A dispatch from Pretoria, under date of the 18th, says that the Boers are daily tearing up portions of the railroad and cutting telegraph and telephone wires Their attacks are intolerable. The repairing linemen cannot leave the garrisoned points without considerable escorts. The only remedy seems to be to corral all the burghere and deport them, as apparently none can be trusted. 9 Japan's Cabinet hm Resigned. The resignation of the Japanese cabinet and the probable coming into power of Marquis Ito is the theme of the hour in that country. The change came as a surprise, although it was deemed inevitable in the not distant future. It was doubtless unwelcome to Marquis Ito himself, who has by no means yet got his new party in proper trim for harmonious and successful work. Although the latter is well organized, it is made up of many incongruous and warring elements, and early trouble is predicted for it, especially in the view of distribution of officers before it is brought under any sort of discipline. Marquis Ito is the only man to whom the country can turn in this emergency, as has been the case for many years past, whenever an important crisis has arisin. A significant feature of the present case is to be found in the fact that the marquis is not credited with strong pro-Russian tendencies. E i - M l n t t t e r D e c a p i t a t e d . Confirmation was received at Wash ington on the 16th of the execution on July 20 of Chang Yen Hoon, the former Chinese minister to the United States. Chang was a loyal adherent of the emperor and a warm supporter of the Matter's reform movements. When the empress dowager supplanted the emperor two years ago he was banished to Nebradoo, but through the intervention of the American and British ministers his punishment was commuted to banishment in the distant province of Kashgaria. It now appears that the empress dowager, taking advantage of the late reign of terror at Pekin, and knowing Changs influence with the emperor, ordered his execution by decapitation. 13 Americans Captured by Filipino*. A dispatch from Manila, dated Oct. 10, says: A detachment of 20 men of the 24th regiment, while engaged in impairing telegraph wires, Oct. 10, at a point near San Jose, Nuevo Ecija •vmce^Luzjoiij were set on by 200 rebels and overpowered and scattered. Seven of the Americans reached San Jose, but it is probable that the remainder were captured. 4 3 Lives Lost in a Storm. The St. Pierre schooner Fionadrifted ashore in Fortune Bay, N. F., during a leceot gale, and her entire crew of 10 men were drov-vned. The schooner is a total loss. The schooners Amelia, Rosebud and Angler, with crews aggregating 18 :neo, were also lost. The schooner Huntress is ashore on the Labrador coast. Five of her crew were drowned. John Dcmlio, treasurer of the Galveston relief fund, gave out a statement on the 18th showing that the total contributions to date are $l,09j,- 202. T H E M A R K E T S . L I V E STOCK.

There was not a horse of any recently Imported breed.

The fun of the show was t o see the riders, bareheaded aad with overalls above their knees. 50 *sae>r the wire, time about four minutes. No carts or sulkies were in evidence then. I must not forget the silver hoofs (sheep). They were generally *.he tag ends of large flocks of small Merinos from Washington county, Pennsylvania, that were shipped here aad replaced at home by Vermont shaep of large breed. Many of these Merino sheep brought distress to their owners as they were narrow chesteJ weaklings. We had no trouble with wolves as dead sheep were plentiful. The sheep at our county fair this year were fine specimens of the mutton type, ay good as could be found anywhere, and their owners know how to make the most of them. The swine pens this year were full of gilt-edged hogs of all breeds and Included some prize winners from t h e state fair. In the cattle exhibit* Shorthorns, Galloways, Polled Angmv Herefords and Red Polls wera represented. More than one hundred horseswere on exhibition, in fact there are more horses sold in this countv than. in any other in the state.,. A regular auction sale once a month for ninemonths is held in Fairfield at whichas large sums as $40,000 have been paid. Buyers come from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg a a d the pineries.—John Ross. Outlook f o r C*ttle For many years to eome the prii of cattle must be good, especially tor the better class of meat The recent depression had the effect of cheeklag. the breeding of cattle of all kinds and the number of cattle in the country fell steadily for a number of years. The result of that curtailment of the cattle supply is that the base on which to produce the vast numbers now annaally required is restricted. There is /pother factor that enters very largely into the solution of the problem and that is that the people are demandinr more than ever a finer quality of beet There was probable never a time when the difference between the poorest and best meats in the markets was so great as it is today. So it comes about that in the city of Chicago one cam pat [iorterhouse steak at 25 cents a p o u d or at 12 cents a pound, and at all prices between the- two The qoafity of the steaks varies, of course, according to the prices, except when poor meat is dishonestly palmed off on the customer for high-quality meat The difference in prices indicates that the high-quality meats are in great demand. These high-quality meats from pure-bred and grade stock. increasing prices for the high-quality meats indicate that the money in the future for cattle raisers is in well-bred animals. Most assuredly that man that is doing his best to grade up his herd of cattle is paving the way for good money returns in the future. The experience of the past few years, when men rushed out of the business of breeding good cattle because there was a temporary fall in the values, should teach men today that the course of wisdom lies in steadily improving' the. quality of their cattle. *Detroit-Hay, No. I Timothy, $12 00 per ton.

J ^ If t h e Government of t h e Un'.tcJ States be considered merely t s a bvs - ness firm, its stockholders just n o w are pretty well to do. Their wea th is very large, considering t h e number there are of them. T h e expenses of carrying on trade under Uie-.£-Ur* and Stripes seems small when devided, and their debts are trifling indeed. N o t many years a g o it was said that Uncle Sam had land e n o u g h to give every o n e a farm. I n theory this is true to-day. If all Territories in the United States, not even including Alaska and our so-called n e w possessions, were to be divided, there would be a farm of thirty o n e acres for each one. Every m a n , w o m a n and child in t h e country would o w n this much real estate. Now, since t h e average American family consists of five people, thera would be 155 acres to t h e family. In m a k i n g these calculations t h e population is estimated at 70,000,000. T h e area of t h e United S t a t e s . i s 3,600,000 square miles. N o t all of this land is good enough t o "farm it" o n . but m o s t of it can be made good enough by Yankee i n - genuity. The value of all the real estate in America is $39,544,333,000. These figures fail to give any definite idea. T h e y are too big. L e t us suproaa, howevir., that pure socialism prevailed and that this e:;orrtous w e a l t h w a s equally divided. T h e share of every individual would be $564.50. The share of every average family" would be $2,824.50. Afcl this does n o t Include personal property, which would greatly increase t h e sum. These figures are by far t h e h i g h e s t t o h e found i n a n y country in t h e , w o r l d . In Great Britain, for instance, each m a n is a land owner o w n i n g t o the e x t e n t of about $190. British house property would give a share of b u t about $300 to every m a n . Practically, in Great Britain there are f e w small land-owners, or none. A laboring m a n w h o o w n s h i s cottage i s a rarity; o n e w h o o w n s the land o n w h i c h it stands "almost a n impossibility. The taxes which t h e individual pays seem trifling. All the taxes last year were $471,365,140. ' The share of each individual w a s but $6.73. Britain's taxee during the same period amounted t o £ 2 10s. each, or nearly t w i c e that of America. It must also be considered that our rate w a s unusually h i g h owing to t h e expenses of the. war. A good deal of complaint i s heard of the extravagance of<the Government, but t h e share of t h e individual i s email. The total expenses of the Government last year If divided would have placed a burden of $6.68 on t h e individual. This i3 a share of the s u m of $487,803,000. The individual contributions to t h e various departments also sound curio u s i n v i e w - o f t h e .great things which have been accomplished. We are all proud of our navy, which during th(^ past year h a s been larger and more expensive than ever before. B u t each individual w a s only required to contribute just sixty cents to maintain this department and our great fleets of warships. The total expense, to be sure, w a s $18,000,0OT). T h e maintenance cf the army last year w a s ono j of the most expensive it-, ms t h e Gov- j e m i n e n t has ever called upon to meet. It cost us just $SO,000.000. The war with the Philippines and the maintenance of an army in Cuba and P o r : ^ Rico, besides the regular expense of the department, could be met, however, if each individual contributed $1.14. The expense of running the entire Government cost each of us e x - actly $1.92. The United States, a s every on& knows, is t h e richest nation in th3 world. Our bonded debt is $1,0^2,000.- 000. Each of us is in debt on this score just $14.74. Looked at in this way our national debt, large, as it seems, is a trifling thing. T h e real ^state holdings cf the individual, according to this distribution, are alone worth more than forty times his i n - debtedness. .It is no wonder that the world considers loaning money 10 America a good risk. Our country is t h e land of railroads. A s every o n e knows w e have more railroads by far than a n y other country in the world. The m i l e a g e of t h e United States i s 1S0.000. T h e share of the individual is ]'3'i feet of rail. Still another w a y to state our great wealth is to calculate the amount of gold and' silver which woul d come to us if all were equally divided. 'Each of' us would have $70 in silver bullion a s his share and $18.50 in solid gold. possible w a s shown h i m on accourt <K his health, but, of course, he could n o t be grauted permission, as he requeste d / t o g o to the t o p of t h e rock for the sake of the purer air, a s there i s a regulation that "foreigners" are o n no account to be permitted to w a l k about t h e top of t h e rock."

Bead his words and see if they are too severe: Certain particular forms of business which are n o i merely capable of abuse, but postively evil in themselves, have secured such a standing before the law, and such a patronage from all classes of citizens, as makes - them more to be dreaded than pestillence or earthquake. Cheif of these is the liquor traffic. I t is wholly and incurably bad. Society could better afford to license at every street corner a den of ! cobras than to give its sanction to the indiscriminate sale of strong I drink. The open saloon is a J breathing hole of hell. I t thrusts i temptation into tue very faces of I the inexperienced and the unwary • and operates day and night as a i manufactory of drunkards. The gambling hell and the brothel are its almost invariable accompanianments. Very often also it is a centre of political power, part of that machine which sometimes under the name of one party and sometimes under the name of another rills the offices and conj trpls the revenues of our municipalities. Always organized, always at work, without scruple, 1 without honor, it counts for more in the election of mayors and aldermen than the intelligence, decency and piety of the the larger cities combine^. Set np by the extra-judicial defiance of an express statute- inr^ouT-Tegular and volunteer armies, it is siaying more of our young men than the bullets of their enemies, and ruining the characters and blasting the hopes of thousands besides. We must put it down, or it will put us down. The abolition of this national evil cannot be effected by fanatical means. >Vhat is needed in opposing it is perfect sanity combined with undying determination. Let not those of us who are enlisted, for war fall into the inexcusable folly of denouncing and vilifying one another. Whoever is willing to help in any way ought to be welcomed as an ally, and not treated as an enemy in case he cannot pronounce our shibboleths. We are all aiming at the same end. I n some sections it may best be accomplished by one policy, and in others by another. I,m warranted in saying that but for the horde of ignorant and purchasable voters who are sometimes coiraled into droves of live hundred and marched to the polls like so many cattle, the groggeriea could be closed in every Southern State tomorrow. Even as it is by far the larger part of our territory is already under some form of prohibition, and the battle goes bravely on. Of course this will not suit those milk-and-water, good-temper ance-man-as-y on creatures, who are always harping on the intemperate language of temperance advocates. Nor will it accord with the views of the poor-man's-club saloon allies. And there is wise counsel, too, for the temperance Ishmaelites whose hand is against every many who does not agree with their views. Still, here are words of truth and soberness that, coming from one of the must distinguished clergyman and editors of the largest religious body of the Southern States, are well worthy of acceptance.

The man who reflects deeply will soon be a light instead of a reflector. Common sense in an uncommon degree is what passes in the world for wisdom. Draw* a Uaeful Leaaori from the Reacue of JoMh. from the Morderoua Athaliah— The Saving of Soul*—l'erpetultr of the Bible. The pleasures of dissipation are like gaudy colors—they attract for a moment, but afterwards they oppose the senses. Happiness is like a metecr. I t blazes and goes out and all is blacker than before it came. People are often deceived as to their true interests. The wedding present of the emperor and empress of Russia to the new queen of Servla is a necklace and tiara of diamonds and emeralds valued at £20,000. A New Jersey farmer read all the campaign literature, sent to him by the opposing organizations and then committed suicide. The warning contained in this case fairly bulges out. A Universalist minister in Midclletowii, N. Y., in order to be allov.ed to lay the cornerstone of his people's new house of worship, will have to join the Mason's union. Rev. Mr. Emery is no mason, -but be-wilf- pay $15 for the privilege of holding a trowel in his hasd for fifteen minutes or lees. Otherwise, there might follow a strike, or boycott. It has frequently been stated that Mrs. Louis Botha, the wife of the Boer general, is a descendant of Robert Emmet, the Irish patriot. This is a mistake. She is a descendant of Emmet's elder brother, Thomas Addis Emmet, who was one of the United Irish Directory in 17S9, and was punished by the government by confinement in Fort George for three years. Berlin lest year for the first time registered over 1,000,000 strangers who had visited the city. Vienna, which formerly had more visitors than Ber- Hn, counted tretr a few^over—500,000 in 1899, and was surpassed by Munich with 600.000. Dresden had over half a million visitors; Hamburg. Leipzig and Zurica each about 400,000, and Stuttgart, Basel and Dusseldorf each over a quarter of a million. The police of Cincinnati state that there are two lovers in that city who have been engaged to be married for the last fifteen years. This postponement of the fateful plunge, however, is not due to the prospective bridegroom being a laggard in love; still Jess is it due to the bride proving unduly coy. The simple explanation is that no time has occurred during the above period when they were both out of prison at the same time. The reputation of the mosquito, which was never of the best, is being torn to shreds by the scientists these days. The insect has been proved to be one, if not the sole, means of spreading malaria; and now it has been discovered that elephantiasis, a hideously deforming disease of the tropics, is due to the action of a very minute worm which enters the body through the mosquito's proboscis while the insect is sucking its victim's blood. Between Formosa and the coast oi China lies in a group of twenty-one islands, interspersed with innumerable reefs and ledges, which are called the Pescadores islands. According to the investigations of a Japanese geologist, these islands have suffered in a remarkable manner from the northwest winds, which blow with savage violence there during nine months of the year. The original area of the islands has been greatly reduced by erosion, and their surfaces are barren and desolate, so that the wind-whipped group forms "a quasi-desert amidst the green island irorld of northeastern Asia." The body of Lieut. Fred H. 'Beecher of Gen. Forsyth's scouts, which was buried on Beecher Island in the Arikare ricer, Colorado, 33 years ago, has been recovered, and will be sent to Brooklyn. Young Beecher, who was a nephew of Henry Ward Beecher, fell In a fight with the Cheyennes under Roman Nose. Gen. Foraythe, Lieut. Beecher and 47 men were surrounded by nearly. 1,000 Indians. Two men, Charles Christy and Fletcher Vilotte, got through the Indian lines and eventually brought relief. -Soon afterward they were detailed on the squad to bury Lieut Beecher. Both men were at the recent unveiling of a monument on Beecher Island, and it was through them that the long lost grave was located and the body recovered by the relatives (Copyright. 1900. by Louis $lopsch.) The text is II. Kings xl., 2, 3: "Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain, and they hid him, even him and his nurse, In the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain. And he was with her hid in the house of the Lord six years." Grandmothers are more lenient with their children's children than they were with their own. At 40 years of age if discipline be necessary chastisement is used, but at 70 the grandmother, looking upon the misbehavior of the grandchild, is apologetic and disposed to substitute confectionery for whip. There is nothing more beautiful than childhood. Grandmother takes out her pocket handkerchief and wipes her spectacles and puts them on and looks down into the face of her mischievous and rebellious descendant and says, "I don't think he meant to do it. Let him off this time. I'll be responsible for his behavior in the future." My mother, with the second generation around her, a boisterous crew, said one day: "I suppose they ought to be disciplined, but I can't do it. Grandmothers are not fit to bring up grandchildren." But here in my text we have a grandmother of a different type. 1 have been at Jerusalem, where the occurrence of the text took place, and the whole scene came vividly before me while I was going over the site of the ancient temple and climbing the towers of the king's palace. Here in the text it is old Athaliah, the royal murderess. She ought to have been honorable. Her father was a king. Her husband was a king. Her son wts a king. And yet we nml her plotting for the extermination of the entire royal family, including h?r own grandchildren. The executioners' knives are sharpened. The palace i s red vv'ith the blood of princes and princesses. On all sides *re shrieks and hands thrown up and struggle and -death—groam—Na mercy4—Kttf, kill! But while the ivory floors of the palace run with carnage and the whole land U under the shadow of a great horror a fleet-footed woman, a clergyman's wife, Jehosheba '£>y name, stealthily approaches the imperial nursery, seises upon the grandchild that had somehow as yet escaped massacre, wraps it up tenderly but in haste, snuggles ii against her, fibs down the palace stairs, her heart in her throat le^t she be discovered in this compassionate abduction. Oet her out of the way as quick as 'you can, for she carries a precious burden, even a yoimg king. Witt this youthful prize she presses into the room c'f the p.ncieut temple, the church of olden time, v.nwraps the young king and puis him down, sound asleep as he is and unconscious of the peril that has been threatened, and there for six years he is ser"-ete.1 in that church apartment. Meanwhile old Athaliah smacks her lips with satisfaction and thinks that all the royal family are dead. But the six years expire, and it is time for young Joash to come forth and take the throne and to push back into dis grace and death ohl Athaliah. Tlie Crown'u? of Jnaxh. The arrangements are all made for political revolution. The military come and take possession or" the temple, swear loyalty to the boy Joash and stand arovnd for his defense. See the sharpened swords and the burnished shields! Everything is ready. New Joash, half affrighted at the armed tramp of his defenders, scared at the vociferation of his admirers, is brought forth in full regalia. The scroll of authority is put in his hands, the coronet of governnvM is put on his brow, and the peop> 'lipped and waved and huzzaed and trumpeted. "What i3 that?" askt\' Athaliah. "What is that sound ovc; ..i the temple?" And she flies to' *< . and on her way they meet her and *jy, "Why haven't you heard? You thought you had slain all the royal family, but Joash has come to light." Then the royal murderess, frantic with rage, grabbed her mantle and tore it to tatters and cried until she foamed at the mouth: "You have no right to crown my grandson. You have no right to take the government from my shoulders. Treason, treason!" While she stood there crying that the military started for her arrest, and she took a short cut through a back door of the temple and ran through the royal stables, but the battleaxes of the military fell on her in the barnyard, and for many a day when the horses Were being unloosened from the chariot after drawing out ywng Joash the fiery gt*><2« wouJc -:non. and rear pss> i S X •» ing the place as they smell the place of the caroage. • » 0»uaot 9m CxtlagaUhed* Well, my friends', Just i s poor a botch doe* the world always make of extinguishing righteousness. Superstition rises up and says, "I will just put an end to pure religion." Domitian slew 40,000 Christians, Diocletian slew 844,000 Christians. And the scythe of persecution has been swung through all the ages, and the flames hissed, and the guillotine chopped, and the Bastille groaned, but did the foes of Christianity exterminate It? Did they exterminate Alban, the first British sacrifice, or Zwingli, the Swiss reformer, or John Oldcastle, the Christian nobleman, or Abdailah, the Arabian martyr, or Anne Askew, or Sanders, or Cranmer? Great work of extermination they made of it. Just at the time when they thought they haii slain all the royal family of Jesus some Joash would spring up and out and take the throne of power and wield a very scepter of Christian dominion^ Perpetuity of the Bible. How many individual and organized attempts have been made to exterminate that Bible? Have its enemies done it? Have they exterminated the American Bible society? Have they exterminated the British and.Foreign Bible society? Have they exterminated the thousands of Christian institutions whose only object it is to multiply copies of the Scriptures and spread them broadcast around the world? They have exterminated until instead .of one or two copies of the Bible in our houses we have eight or ton, and we pile them up in the corners of our Sabbath school rooms and send great boxes of them everywhere. If they get on as well as they are now going on in the work of extermination, I do not know but that our children may live to see the millennium. Yaa, if there should come a time of persecution in__r/bich all the known Bibles of the earth should be destroyed, ail these lamps of life that blaze in our pulpits and in our familtes extinguished, in the very day that infidelity and sin should be holding jubilee over the universal extinction, there would be in some closet of a backwoods church a secreted copy of the Bible, and this Joash cf eternal literature would come out and come up and take the throne, and the Athaliah of Infidelity and persecution would fly out the back door of the palace and drop her miserable carcass under the hoofs of the .horses of the kijigjs_stables. You_can not exterminate Christianity.' You cannot kill Joash. The second thought I Innd you from mV subject is that there are opportunities in which we may save royal life. You know that profane history is replete with stories of strangled monarchs and of young princes who have been put out of the way. Here is the story of a young king saved. How Jehosheba, the clergyman's wife, must have trembled as she rushed into the imperial nursery and snatched up Joash! How she hushed him lest by his cry ho hinder the escape! Fly with him, Jehosheba! You hold in your arms the cause of God and good government. Fail, and he is slain. Succeed, and you turn the tide of the world's history in the right direction. It seems as if between that young king and his assassins there is nothing but the frail arm of a woman. But why should we t;pend oiir time in praising this bravery of expedition when God asks the same thing of you and me? All around us the imperiled children of a great king. They are born of Almighty parentage and will come to a throne or a crown if permitted. But sin, the old Athaliah, goes forth to the massacre. Murderous temptations are out for the assassination. Valens, the emperor, was told that there was somebody in his realm that would usurp his throne and that the name of the man should begin with the letters T, H, E, O, D, and the edict went forth from the emperor'3 throne, "Kill everybody whose name begins with T, H, E, O, D." And hundreds and thousands were slain, hoping by that~inassarre to put an end to that one usurper. But sin is more terrific in its denunciation, It matters not how you spell your name, you come under the knife, under its sword, under its doom, unless there be some omnipotent relief brought to the rescue. But, blessed be God, there is such a thing as delivering a royal soul. Who will snatch away Joash" Inatrnctlna for Chi ttran. This afternoon in your Sabbath school class there will be a prince of God, some one may yet reign as king forever before the throne; there will be some one in ;'our class who has a corrupt physical inheritance; there will be some one in your class who has a father and mother who do not know how to pray; there will be some one In your class who is destined to command i i church or staie, some Cromwell to dissolve a parliament; some Beethoven to touch the world's harp strings, some John Howard to pour fresh air in the lazaretto, some Florence Nightingale to bandage the battlo wounds, some Miss Dix to soothe the erased brain, some John Frederick bnerUxv.to educate the besotted, some David Braiaerd to change the Indian's war whoop to ft Sabbath song, some John Wesley to t marshal three-fourths of Christendom, some John Knox to make queens turn pale, some Joash to demolish idolatry and strike for the kingdom of heaven. There are sleeping in your cradles by night, there are playing in your nurseries by day, imperial sank!*waiting for dominion, and whichever side the cradle they get out will decide the destiny of empires. For each one of those children sin and holiness contend—- Athaliah on the one side, Jehosheba on the other. But I hear people say: "What's the use of bothering children with religious' instruction?1 Let them grow up and choose for themselves. Don't interfere with their volition." Suppose some one had said to Jehosheba: "Don't Interfere with that young Joash. Let him grow up and decide whether he likes the palace or not; whether he tfants to be king or not. Don't disturb his volition." Jehosheba knew right well that unless that day the young king was rescued he would never be rescued at all. I tell you, my friends, the*reason we don't reclaim all our children from worldliness is because we begin too late. Parents wait until the children lie before they teach them the value of truth. They wait until their children swear before they teach them the importance of righteous conversation. They wait until their children are all wrapt up in this world before they tell them of a better world. Too late with your prayers. Too late with your discipline. Too late with your benediction. You put all care upon your children between twelve-and-elghteen. Why do you not put the chief care between four and nine? It is too late to repair a vessel when It has got out of the drydocks. It is too late to save Joash after the executioners have broken in. May God arm us all for this work of snatching royal souls from death to coronation. Work of foul Savin?. Can you imagine any sublimer work than this soul saving? That was what flushed Paul's cheek with enthusiasm; that was what led Munson to risk his life amid Bornesian cannibals; that was what sent Dr. Abeel to preach under the consuming skies of China; that was what gave courage to Phocas lathe third century.

Christ's sake, he put them to bed that they might rest while he himself went TKrtraud in brts own—gardeir^dTSg i~5Is grave and then came back and said, "I am ready." But they were shocked at the idea of taking the life of their host, He said, "It is the will of God that I should die," and he stood on the margin of his own grave, and they beheaded him. You say it is a mania, a foolhardiness, a fanaticism. Rather would I call it a glorious self-abnegation, the thrill of eternal satisfaction, the plucking of Joash from death and raising him to coronation. The third thought I hand to you is that the church of God is a good hiding place. When Jehosheba rushes into the nursery of the king and picks up Joash, what shall she do with him? Shall she take him to some room in the palace? No, for the official desperadoes will hunt through every nook and corner of that building- Shall she take him to the residence of fcome wealthy citizen? No, that citizen would not dare to harbor the fugitive. But she has to take him somewhere. She hears the cry of the mob in the streets; she hears the shriek of the dying nobility; so she rushes with Joash into the room of the temple, Into the house of God, and there she puts him down, a.ic knows that Athaliah and her wicked . assassins will not bother the temple a grtttl deal. So they are not apt to go very much to church, and so she sets down Joash in the temple. There he will be hearing the songs of the worshipers year after year; there he will breathe the "odor""of the £Svien censers; in that sacred spot he will tarry, secreted until the six year* have passed and he come to enthronement. The Bent Hiding Place. Would God that we were all as wise as Jehosheba and knew that the church of God Is the best hiding place! Perhaps our parents took us there in early days. They snatched us away from the world and hid us behind the baptismal fonts and amid the Bibles and psalm books. O glorious inclosure! We have been breathing the breath of the golden censers all the time, and we have seen the Lamb on the altar, and we have handled the vials in which are the prayers of all saints, and we have dwelt under th€ wings of the cherubim. Glorious inc i s u r e ! When my father and mothei died and the property was settled up, there was hardily anything left. But they endowed us with a property worth more than any earthly posses* sion because they hid us in the temple. And when days of temptation have come upon my soul I have gone there for shelter, and when assaulted of sor, row; I have gone there for comfort, and there I mean to live. I want, liks .'oQsh, to stay until coronation Stqckholm and Its environs are suffering from a plague of rats, which, if it is not checked, may later lead to a plague of disease. The evil has gone on unheeded for years, and now the pests are so numerous that people are crying out for energetic ineasjirjB. The rats career about the city toward evening, and may be seen romping even in crowded thoroughfares, so bold have they become owing to the laxity of the authorities. Not a house In .the town is free from the pest, and serious damage is being done to foundations. It is proposed to offer a premium for each rat destroyed, after the policy adopted by the Copenhagen corporation. NEW OmC'AL OF THE ST.

The tax commission claims that under section 152 of th& amendment of the tax law passed at the legislative session of 1899 authority was given to the tax commission to review the rolls and to have the valuation fixed by the board taken as the basis for the tax. It was decided several days ago to bring these provisions of law before the supreme court for its construction, and at a meeting of the tax commission and Atty.-Gen. Oreu, papers were prepared for a case to be commenced against the assessing officers at Ishpeuiing. The court will be asked for a man damns to eompet the assessing- officers to make u*e of the valuations fixed by the tax couimis- .siou us a basis for the December taxes, and the questiou will then come squarely before the court. !*W » * f * = » m\ :.iv,>i, •Wt One Killed and Four Injured.

One look at Mollte had been enough. Mollle, mean- "While, dragged anj'thing she could find against the door and opened the win- -dow quietly. Ttren she helped Kate into her things and, tying a shawl over her head, put her out on the slopi n g tiled roof of fhe veranda and crawled out after her. "Now, listen, Kittle," she whispered Impressively. "I am going to let my- •seH^dowji by- one of the pillars, and when 1 say your name and Pbld out my Tirma you are to jump. Then we .-shall run as fast a s we can 'to the White hoi'.se." "Yes, Mollle/' murmured the child obediently, her eyes wLde_with terror. Without waiting for hat or wrap, Mollie scrambled down, and a minute later they were speeding out on to ithe road. "Some one was rarttling the door Ikandle;" said TCate, as Mollie paused t o .open :the gate. Mollie's only answer was to take her hand again and mn. I t was ftfr their lives, literally a race for their lives that ;they were running, she knew. Was that the clang of the. gate behind them?

As "Mollie caught her up and hurried •on with clenched teeth, she felt sure —she heard footsteps on the hard mart •behind.

Madam Dubois was dangerously mad from that night, enacting over and OT«r> again the terrible deed she had committed, the combined remorse and j was true about her, or did she see him again; but he quietly disappeared from knowledge, though many years afterward Mollie received begging letters at intervals from him. And It was Mollie who took compasion on her enemy, and returned good for evil by paying for her to toe well cared for in an asylum, where she lingered for some years. Being left without a guardian, he? trustees were quite willing for her to accept Mrs. Anstruther's offer of a home until her marriage, an offer ex-* tended to Kate also; so everything at Chalfont was sold and the place let, and Mollie would have been happy indeed, but for her anxiety about her little half-sister. Poor child! She had been failing all winter, though "Mollie could not see it, and as the spring advanced she grew weaker and weaker, though she suffered no pain. They were all very good to her, these kind people, bearing with the fractious irritability that she could not control. Reggie came home as often as he could, and taught Mollie to ride; while all Reverton called, anxious to show that they were glad to be friends with Colonel L'Estrange'a daughter. But the little girl was never neglected or forgotten. Many an hour would gocd-natured Reggie carry her aboutin the old garden and amuse her, and she was very fond of the tall, handsome young fellow, watching him with preternaturally large eyes; but there was no one like Mollie toward the end. her first love and her last, her "very own Mollie!" "Is she not beautiful, Joyce?" she said one day, as she watched them set off for a ride, and they turned to nod cheerfully as the tiny, thin hand was waved from the window. "Reggie loves her very much, but not s o much as I do. No <one in this world can tell what MolHe has been to me." And Joyce, softly stroking the flaxen curls of the owner of Chalfont, thought of that, scene in the garden the preceding spring, when the over-dressed little heiress, sitting in the swing, had spoken sp differently. Truly Mollie had worked wonders! "Everything I have is yours, Mollie," the child said with passionate devotion, one cold, spring afternoon, as the girl sat rocking her gently to and fro before the fire. "My heart, my life, everything; but who would have Chalfont if I died?" —-1~shouidV-myJrOttieJ! "Oh, then that is all right." And Kate nestled closer into her arras with a smile of utter contentment. "We are very happy now, Mollie, are we not? Will you sing mother's lullaby again?" Mrs. Anstrutherls face was looking very grave as she watched the child; but with the courage that always came to Mollie in her need, she began softly to sing the old nursery tune they both loved. Once Kate stirred and gave a little sigh; but Mollie went on, though to ears that .heatfl not, for with that sigh the little girl had fallen into that sleep that .knows n o waking, and gone .home to the Heavenly Father whom ^lollie had taught her to love. "You must not .grieve too much, Mollie darling," Reggie said later, when ,she had cut off a long, fair curl, and they hail carried the -child away and laid her ib.y h&r mother's side i n t h e church yard. "Had .she lived there .are many things Ihatahe must have known as she grew older., .which would have hurt her. She i s spaced much suffering." And Mollie, remembering her darling's quick, sensitive spirit, knew i t She was yery happy as time TftpHtttCAV E X P E R I M E N T S . K«w IfethoA of Studying Blv«r How At Dresden an experiment station has been eatablished called "Fluasbau Laboratorium" for the study of river flows, a subject which is now attracting great attention in Germany. The station Is located in the basement of the Dresden Technical school and i s under government supervision. In a large room extending its whole length there i s an irpn trough seven feet widq and two feet deep, at one end of which there is a large tank so placed and arranged that the water it contains can. be regulated t o flow into the trough 'in any desired" volume. The trough is filled with sand, and in it the course of any river or section thereof that it is desired t o experiment with is accurately mapped to a scale. The sand i s variously colored to represent the different formations thrdugh which the river flows, and dams, piers, breakwaters, docks, bridges, etc., are built so that an exact miniature representation of the stream is obtained. The water is then turned on andv regulated to flow precisely as i t does in the real river. Certain other devices are also provided to catch the sand washed out of the trough, which can then be gathered up and measured and the amount of sand carried per cubic foot calculated. The operator, who in this case is Professor Engels, watches the effects of' the flowing water on the banks and bottom of the stream, noting how the bars are being built up, where the channel is being deepened, where hollows are being filled, etc. He is thus enabled to determine from actual observation where engineering work should be done, either for the advantage of navigation or for the benefit of shore property. In cases where any structure in the river may be under consideration it is first built in miniature in the model and its effects in the way of causing washouts or silting up of other parts of the stream noted. In addition to the saving of expenditure in the erection in river3 of what, from want of accurate knowledge, too often prove to be utterly futile structures for the purposes for which they were intended, the s p e c i a l a i m of the experiments is to ascertain how to regulate river flows to the end that they will keep their own channels clear and deep enough without dredging. It is thought that there is a great future for the work and'that the time is not far distant when all rivers will be regulated by the advice of river experts who have taken a course in one of these laboratories.

It was found that she had broken into Mollie's room, and, discovering the window open and t h e room empty, had evidently pursued them down the road, for one of ber shoes was found not far from the White house gates. Foiled in ber attempt by the timely arrival of Reggie, she had returned and •mashed everything In the room, buryi n g the knite in Mollie's pillow. Henri was telegraphed for, but declined to come, sending word that he was seriously iU with the shock. The general impression was that he feared to s e t foot in Reverton, as h e had all along known more than he would allow; but nothing could b e proved against him.

But even when children of her own lay In her arms, there, was always a very tender Bpot in Mollie's heart for the child who was gone.

T h e r e A M P e o p l e W h o Claim I t s Iilte Is H a r m l e s s . J. Vr.n Denburgh and 0. B. Wright give an account in the September number of the American Journal of Physiology of their experiments "on the physiological action of the poisonous secretion of the Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum). According to them t h e nOJSOn IS i n I t s effrrts- s i m i l a r tr, the venoms of . snakes, respiration, heart activity, sensory irritability and rapidity of blood coagulation are all at first increased., then retarded, with a gradual total loss of function. The vaso-inotor /center is, however, not involved in this quickening and subsequent paralysis; On the contrary, the poison produces immediately a fall in blood pressure owing to vascular,dilatation. The motor nerves are not aff ^ e d . The red blood co-^iscles fret.^ ntly become spherical 3 the result of the noison and the blood may be laked. The secretion of urine is stopped. Respiratory paralysis i s the usual cause of death, but if artificial respiration is maintained death ensues from heart failure. The poisonous character of the bite of these reptiles hap for a long time been a matter of dispute. Accounts of death resulting to man from their wounds have beeva reported, but it has also been claimed by those W h o have looked into the hmtter that these stones were mostly of doubtful authenticity and that others quite as trustworthy showed the contrary to the truth—namely, that the animal was harmless. These experimenters, however, did not use man as a subject, and it may be that notwithstanding the effect of the poison on other animals man may for some reason be immune. Still, it is not advisable to indulge in any frivolities with the creature, at least until more Is known regarding it. The late Prof. B. D. Cope had one for some time as a pet m his study on Pine street. He allowed it to run around among the fossils and papers- seemingly without any thought of its being dangerous. * Common sense shines with increased luster when set in humility.

Some Entertaining fccrnp< of Family Il'\ ta*y-A Kom&utlc Element t* Mixed I ]» fVJt.i Moat Love Affulm lut«uc»t Ntvtr Flae* In the 6nbj. ct. ^JZ Marriage has always been one of the world's greatest themes. Inter..* never flags in the subject. Men na e tired of their own matrimonial "experiences sometimes, but of other people's never. The great thing, as a wise philosopher said, fa to get the right girl. There is no stereotyped way of getting her. Just aa men have found different ways of proposing, so there have been endless ways in which men have met their fates. A romantic element is mixed up with most love affairs. Horace Greeley and Mary Young Cheney were married the first day they met. They had corresponded for some time, a mutual friend, who was something of a matchmaker, having brought this about. She was young and beautiful and all his fancy painted her, but she was much disappointed in hie appearance, so much so that when he appeared before her, having proposed and been accepted by letter and the marriage day fixed, she frankl y told him |hat although she married him, she was not in love with him. Their married life was long and happy a^tf the loss of his wife was & blyvf which he did not long survive. / The second time that Bismarck met Fraulein Johanna Puttkammer he* kissed her soundly in the presence of a number of guests. The immediate effect of tbi3 embarrassing and shocking behavior was the prompt announcement of the betrothal, which was soon followed by the marriage. The first time Mary Todd met Lincoln she said to her sister: "That man will be President ope of these days. He will make a husband to be proud of." About that time Linco^'s chances of becoming President seemed as remote as possible, and Mary's sister laughed the idea to scorn. A few months afterward Mary Todd was married to "Ugly Abe," and in fourteen years the pre"dtction^w2ra-fulfilled. As a child the future Mrs. Lincoln' had prophesied that she would become the wife of a President of the United States. The first August Belmont's marriage to Commodore Perry's daughter grew out of a duel. At his first meet-" ing with the lady, a blooming Balt!- more belle, at the theatre, he challenged a man who made some remark reflecting on the virtue of women generally.

Young Porter, however, managed to continue his visits to his fair one. One bright moonlight night the Commodore, rousing up irom aa afterdinner nap, discovered young Porter and his sweetheart behind one of the windows of the stern ports. "Young man." thundered the Commodore, "how did you enter this cab- In?" The midshipman replied. "The orderly is not to blame. I came over the, mlzzen chains and through the quarter galley window." Midshipman P.ofter, through the balance of the cruise was regularly admitted to visit the cabin and on the ship's arrival home the marriage took place. «T. .|. .|. »J> »|«. « | . >|..|> *]* «|» •!« «|» «|» »t« ,1 ' * He Waa Very Terrible In War, but * * •L Easily Disarmed by a Woman. * *I' 'I' *\* "I* *1* *I"I' *t* 'I* **' 'I'"*!"

"I want your daughter for my wife," Stanley said, "give heivto me, and do you at the same \ i m e become my mother, father, brother and sister." "She is yours," repied mamma, "and so am I." That, in brief, is the story of Stanley's wooing, and Mrs. Tennant is his as irreparably and indissolubly as her daughter is, and Mr. Stanley is said to be a niodel husband and a tractable and obedient son. It was through his novel, "The Scalp Hunters," that Capt. Mavne Reid won a bride. He was thirty years old when he met ^a damsel of thirteen, with whom he at once fell in love. The child, of course, took no notice of him, but he gave her the story to read, as effective a manner of courting in this nineteenth century as ever was Othello's in an earlier one. Two years later the young lady was at a public meeting where Capt. Reid spoke on behalf of the Polish refugees. "An electric thrill seemed to pass through me as he entered 'he room," she afterward said, and when the meeting was over she went up to speak to him. "I leave for London on the next train," he said, hurriedly. "Please send me your address." "I do not. know where," she replied with some embarrassment. He instantly handed put his card and was gone. A formal little note followed: "Dear Capt. Reid—A you asked nm to send you my address. I do so." By return of post came the answer: Only say that you love me and I will be with.you at once," and then the reply, 'I think I do love you." Needless to say that th>re is nothing as good as", this in the lovers' novels. That, Admiral Porter was not a'raid to brave the fire of an unpropi.ious parent doubtless raised him in the esteem of hie lady love. When a midshipman en board the flagship of Commodore Porter, who was accompanied by his family, whiqh i a # ) s £ | a young and lovely daughter; Porter allowed no parental coi to. frighten him. The orderly *Q& to allow the midshipman i o Whenever the widow, Magdalen Monostary, sent her son, who was studying law in the residence, his monthly stipend, she always accompanied it by a closely written eight page letter. What wonder then that when the occasion really called for it and the case was important she should have sent her elder brother a communication which might easily be mistaken for a volume, nearly every tenth line of which appealed to him to save the family honor and that immediately and without a moment's delay. "My strength is exhausted and my son is obdurate," pleaded she, "and I do not dare say a word, as he immediately throws out hints and makes threats which makes my blood run cold and my heart to staud still. I am anticipating some terrible calamity. In my opinion the best thing to do would be to talk to the girl herself, only I could not do it, as I am nothing but a mere woman. With you it is different. You. being a man, could do it so much better than 1. The honor of our family is at stake, and my whole trust and confidence are anchored ou you." Thus appealed to and the case being so urgent, the general lost not a moment's time. Having consulted a time table and sent a telegram to his sister saying, "I am coming," he left on the spot. "I shall bit this idyl right through the center," muttered he, twisting the ends of his mustache into such fierce ends as if he intended to spear the idyl on their points. The widow, Magdalen Monostary, could not do otherwise than meet him at the depot and, falling on his neck, sob her soul out on hi9 manly bosom. On the way homeshe did nothing but lament: "Only a tailor's daughter! Only a tailor's daughter!" The general made a deprecatory gesture. "All right, my dear, all right. Console yourself. I am going to see things." As the carriage rolled along the single street of the little province town the l i e w s that the geheraFhad arrived spread like wildfire, and at the market square a small boy yelled: "Won't tailors get it. though! The general has arrived." But the prodigal son, he who jeopardized the family honor, was nowhere to be found, as he had left the house early In the morning. "Never mind," said the general, "I have come to see to things with regard to the girl. I do not need him." "Shall I accompany you, Belshazzar?" "No, indeed. Women invariably spoil everything. I will manage without you," and straight as a ramrod he started on his errand to the loud clanking of his sword, which struck the sidewalk at every step, until he reached the hut in which the tailor patched and steamed tke pants of the poorer citizens of the town. He was followed at a respectful distance by a small regiment of barefooted children, who stared in awestruck admiration at his belligerent mustache and gold embroidered collar and who whispered among themselves, "He is going to the tailor's, and he will murder Este with that saber!" The general finally noticed the crowd of little ragamuffins, and their sight made him furious. He could not very well disperse them, for a -general could not so far forget his dignity as to notice the children of the rabble, but on reaching his destination he gave the door such a tremendous pull that the tailor, who for the last five minutes had been trying to look dignified, nearly fell off the table. The general remained standing on the threshold. He looked the tailor up and down and then down and up and finally thundered in his most military accents, "Are you the boss?" If the tailor had dared to answer truthfully, he would have answered, "Not exactly." As It was, however, he answered with humility, "I am, but I hope you will kindly excuse It" The general looked the frail little man over once more and thought within himself: "What an acquisition, to one's family! Something truly to be nroud of!" Hers the Mrs., who, to do ber justice, had much more presence of mind than her husband and was much the cooler * Jkt.tgrQioffers!jLCJhajr IS.tbe general, saying, "W.ou"£ you a e e w t a 'section o f our modest little home?" But the general frowned ber down and remained standing. "Thank you," laid be stiffly, "1 have no intention of jltftng down. I want to speak to your daughter." The girl was probably not unprepared, for she stepped through a half open door and said, "Here I am, general!" Then the general did quite unconsciously what so far be bad forgotten to do. He saluted, at the same time critically examining, the girl who threatened his family with a misalliance. She was slender, but of a majestic figure. She had an exquisite head of soft blond hair and magnificent blue eyes suspiciously red around the edges, as if they had shed a good many tears. There was so much dignity about this young girl, /who was a schoolteacher, that she seemed entirely out of harmony with the surroundings in the father's hut. The general turned to the tailor and asked in a considerably milder tone of voice, "Is this your daughter?" But the girl opened the door Into the sitting room and said firmly, "Kindly step this way, general." The next moment the general saw himself alone with her In the scrupulously clean sitting room. He took a chair, while she remained leaning against the mantel. But the general did not remain seated long. He almost immediately arose again. He walked out of one corner of the room into the other, furiously twirling his mustache. He looked right and left and up and down and then became aware that he did not know how to begin. Finally the girl said, "I thought you wanted to speak tome?" The general struck a martial attitude, grabbed his sword and stuttered, "Yes, yes, but perhaps you have already guessed what i have come for?" "I think I have," faltered the girl. The old general heaved a sigh of relief. "In that case," said he, "I have not much more to add. You seem to be a superior sort of a girl and will therefore understand that this marriage Is not"— "To be thought of!" the girl managed to finish, with a choking voice. She was as pale as death and her features set and expressionless, but she stood straight before him and looked squarely into his eyes. The general retreated a step. He was very much embarrassed and decidedly uncomfortable. It seemed to him as if he would much rather have been ln the thickest of the battle than where he was. An unaccountable feeling akin to fear began creeping over him, and in order to do something and relieve, the tension he said in a voice of thunder, "My nephew is a good for nothing, God forsaken reprobate!" Something like a red flame shot into the girl's eyes. "Do not slander him in my presence," said she threateningly. The general was effectively silenced. He felt as if his mission was at an end, and yet he did not want to acknowledge himself beaten nor yet leave without haviug-nnrde i l l s peace with the girl. He had the need of saying something comforting to the girl without exactly apologizing. He approached her again and said In a soft, hesitating voice: "Excuse me. my child! I am so sorry!" At the sound of this gentle, appealing voice the outward composure which the girl had been keeping up with difficulty completely forsook her, and she broke down. Seizing both the arms of the general with an iron grasp, she called out in a voice ablaze with passion: "Then why do you want to kill me? What has brought you here? Whom have I dishonored and what blot is there on me?" The general felt as if some one was strangling him, and then he became furious at himself. He brought his fist down on the table with such force that everything dauced upon it and, running up and down the room, shouted: "Whatever did I come here for? Is this my funeral? Am 1 a detective or a hangman? Is It my business to persecute women ?" "Forgive me," stammered the frightened girl tearfully. "I did not mean t o " - "Forgive you? On the contrary, I beg your pandon. What must you think of me? I am a soldier, not a lawyer, and I shall see that no one molests you. I came to see to things, and' I mean to do it, and what I am going to—well, is going to happen." With this he opened the door leading Into the workshop, where the father and^the mother of the girl were, and roared with a voice which, made the walls shake: "I am asking for the hand of your daughter for my nephew, as ; she evidently loves tbe rascal, and you jare not going to say me nay, but you are going to let her marry him. There now! At last everything Is settled satisfactorily." Arrived at bis sister's house, he placed himself in front of ber and In a voice loud enough to be heard by a whole regiment he said: "I have seen to things. Everything is settled as It ought to be. All you have to do now is to see that tbe wedding Is - celebrated at once, for you cannot expect me to undertake tbe journey twice on jfee same business."—Translated From the German For Pittsburg Dispatch.

He should first understand bis business, and second he most have unimpeachable integrity. The volume of business transacted in the probate office is rapidly increasing. A large proportion of our people are now interested in unsettled estates which are still pending in courts. These people desire from time to time to know their rights therein, and they must go to the j u d g e to ascertain them. He must therefore be qualified to impart this information. Mr. Stowe has spent most of bis life upon the farm: be is familiar with values of all kinds of property, a n * also has a knowledge of the law pretaining to the settlement of estates. He has been tried in public positions and no person.has y e t said that Eugene A . Stowe Was not honest. Every person who knows him knows that his integrity is faultless. In his hand3 the rights of all w i i o w s and orphans will be amply protected; all persons having business in his court may receive correct information concerning the rights and titles to real estate to be preserved tor our children.

The relations existing between mistress and maid in Australia are aptly illustrated in a recent issue of a Queensland paper, in which a girl advertises for a situation to take charge of,a laundry or dairy. She can cook, • •nd understands housekeeping, and adds: "None but a respectable mistress; who wishes to leave her servant in uninterrupted discharge of her duties, need apply."

EDITORIAL—44—GAL 4—Gardere The growth of population about the f*reat Lakes will be one of the important revelations of the present census. Six Lake cities, Buffalo, Cleveland, To*V ledo, Detroit, Milwaukee and Chicago, have added more than a million people since 1890, an increase of nearly fifty per cent The increase is directly related to the growth of commerce of the Great Lakes, which has doubled in the last five years. The tonnage capacity of vessels passing through the canal at Sault Sainte Marie is now half as large again as that of all the vessels which enter and leave the port of New York, and two and a half times as great as the tonnage which passes through the Suez Canal. The Great Lakes certainly cannot be called "a waste of waters." They are teeming with life and usefulness. ..>5 • : / L * * A dealer in spices declares that the consumer can now buy a pound of what purports to be pepper, ground, packed in a tin box and labeled cheaper than the wholesaler can buy pure unground pepper by the ton.

Y.) Washington, Oct 28.—In this discourse Dr. Talmage shows how the spirit of greed destroys when it takes possession of a man and that money got in wrong ways is a curse. Text: Exodus, xxxii, 20, "And he took the calf which they had made and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to a powder, and strewed it upou the water, and made the children of Israel drink of i t " People will have a god of some kind and they prefer one of their own making. Here come the Israelites, breaking off their golden earrings, the men as well as the women, for in those times there was masculine as well es feminine decoration. Where did they get these beautiful gold earring3, coming up as they did, from the desert? Oh, they borrowed them of the Egyptians when they left Egypt. These earrings are piled up into a pyramid of flittering beauty. "Any more earrings to bring?" says Aaron. None. Fire is kindled, the earrings are melted and poured into a mold, not of an eagle, or a war charger, but of a &oilly calf. The gold cocls down, the mold is taken away, and the idol is set up on its four legs. An altar is built in front of the shining calf. Then the people throw up their arms and gyrate and shriek and dance vigorously and worship. Moses has been six weeks on Mount Sinai, and he comes back and hears the howling and sees the dancing of these golden calf fanatics, and he loses his patience, and he takes the two rlates of stone on which were written the Ten Commandments! Moses rushes in, and he takes this calf god and throws it into a hot fire until it is melted all out of shape and then pulverizes it, not by the modern appliance of nitromurlatic acid, but by the ancient appliance of niter or by the old fashioned file. He stirs for the people a most nauseating draft. He takes this pulverized golden calf and throws it in the only brook which is accessible, and the people are compelled to drink of that brook or not drink at all. Modern Golden L'alf. Pull aside this curtain, and you sec the golden calf of modern idolatry. It is not, like other idol?, made out of stocks or stone, but it has an ear so sensitive that it can hear the whispers en Wall street, and Third strest and State street, and the footfalls in the Bank of England, and the flutter of a Frenchman's heart on the Bourse.* It has an eye to keen that it can see the rust on the farm of Michigan wheat and the insect in the Maryland peach orchard and the trampled grain under the hoof of the Russian war charger. It is so mighty that it swings any way it will the world's shipping. It has its. foot on all the merchantmen and the steamers, ft started the American civil war and, under God, it stopped it, and it decided the Turko-Russian contest. One broker it* September, 1869, in New York, shouted, "One hundred and sixty for a million!" and the whole continent shivered. The golden calf of the text has, as far as America is concerned, its right front foot in New York, its left, front foot in Chieagor its right back foot in Charleston, its left back foot in New Orleans, and when it shakes itself it shakes the world. Oh, this is a mighty god—the golden calf of the world's worship. it* Altar of Sacrifice. Further,, every god must have v not only its temple, but its altar of sacrifice, and this golden calf of the text is no exception. Its a'.tar is not made out of stone as other altars, but out of counting room desks and fireproof safes. The victims sacrificed on it are the Swartouts and the Ketchams and the Fisks and lO.OCO other people who are slain before this irolden calf. What, does this god care about the groans and struggles of n o victims before it? With cold, me<'::llic t o it ltvoks on and yet lets tljT.i suffer. What an altar! What a .sacrifice of mind, body and soul! The physical health of a great multitude is flung on to this sacriflcal altar. They cannot sleep and they take chloral and morphine and intoxicants. Some of them struggle in nightmare • of stocks and at 1 o'clock in the morning suddenly rise up, shouting, "A thousand shares of New York Central— 1 ( ^ - t a k e it!" until the whole family is affrighted, and the speculators fall back on their pillows and sleep until they are awakened again b^ a "corner" ^Jn Pacific Mail or a sudden "rise" of Rock Island. Their nerves gone, their digestion gone, their brain gone, they die. The gowned ecclesiastic comes in and reads the funeral service, ;'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord!" Mistake. They did not "d!o Defradtstf Worship Goes On. Still the degrading worship goes on, a&d the devotees kneel and kiss the dust and count their golden beads and cross themselves with the blood of their own sacrifice. The music folia1 on under the arches. It is made of clinking silver and clinking gold and the rattling specie, of the banks and brokers' shops and. the voices of all the exchanges. The soprano of the worship is carried by the timid voices of* men who have just begun to speculate, while the deep bass rolls out from those who for ten years have have been steeped in the seething caldron. Chorus of voices rejoicing over what they have made; chorus of voices wailing over what they have loat. This temple of which I speak stands open day and night, and there is the glittering god with his four feet on broken hearts, and there is the smoking altar of sacrifice, new victims every moment on it, and there are the kneeling devotees; and the doxology of the worship rolls on, while death stands with moldy and skeleton arm beating time for the chorus—" More, more, more!" Some people are very much surprised at the actions of people in the Stock Exchange, New York. Indeed, it is a scene sometimes that paralyzes description and is beyond the Imagination of any one who has never looked in. What snapping of finger and thumb and wild gesticulation and raving like hyenas and stamping like buffaloes and swaying to and fro and jostling and running one upon the other and deafening uproar, until the president of the exchange strikes with his mallet four or five times, crying, "Order, order!" and the astonished spectator goes out into the fresh air feeling that he has escaped from pandemonium. What does it all mean? I will tell you what it means. The devotees of every heathen temple cut themselves to pieces and yell and gyrate. This vociferation and gyration of the Stock Exchange is all appropriate. This is the worship of the golden calf. Day of Judgment Coining. But every day is a day of judgment, and God is all the time grinding to pieces the golden calf. Some years ago in a time of panic we learned as never before that forgeries will not pay, that the watering of stocks will not pay, that the spending of $50,000 on country seats and a palatial city residence when there are only $30,000 income will not pay,that the appropriation of trust funds to our own private speculation will not pay. We had a great national tumor in the shape of fictitious prosperity. We called it national enlargement. Instead of calling it enlargement we might better have called it a swelling. It was a tumor, and God cut it out. and the nahon was e?nt back to the principles of our fathers and grandfathers, when twice three made six instead of sixty and when the apples at the bottom of the barrel were just as good as the apples on the top of the barrel, and a silk handkerchief was not half cotton, and a man who wore $5 coat paid for was more honored than a man who wore a $50 coat not paid for. The modern golden calf, like the one of the text, is very apt to be made out of borrowed gold. These Israelites of the text borrowed the earrings of the Egyptians and then melted them into a god. That is the way the golden calf is made nowadays. A great many housekeepers, not paying for the articles they get, borrow of the grocer and the baker and the butcher and the dry goods seller. Then the retailer borrows of the wholesale dealer. Then the wholesale dealer borrows of the capitalist, and we borrow and borrow and borrow until the community is divided into two classes, those who borrow, and those who are borrowed of, and after awhile the capitalist wants his money, and ho rushes upon the wholesale dealer, and the wholesale dealer wants his money and he rushes upon the retailer, and the retailer wants his money, and he rushes upon the customer, and we all go down together. There is many a man in this day who rTdes in a carriage and owes the blacksmith for the tire and the wheelwright for the wheel and the trimmer for the curtain and the driver for unpaid wages and the harness maker for the bridle and the furrier for the robe, while from the tip of the carriage tongue clear back to the tip of the camel's hair shawl fluttering out of the back of the vehicle everything is paid for by notes that have been three times renewed. Idol* Demollfthed. But, if we have made, this world our god, when we come to die we shall toe our idol demolished. How much of this world * re you going to take with you into the next? Will you have two pockets—one in each side of your shroud? Will you cushion your casket with bonds and mortgages and certificates of stock? Ah, no! The ferryboat that crosses this Jordan takes no baggage—nothing heavier than an immaterial spirit. Yon may, perhaps, take &50O with you twe t*r orce ml 1*8 in t£* sfegpt o f funnml trappings to the cemetery, but; you-will have to leave them there. It would not be s4*» for you to Ho down there with a> goid watch or a diamond ring. It would be & temptation to the pillagers. If we have made this wprld our god, we shll see our idol when we die ground to pieces by our pillow, and we shall have to drink it In bitter regrets for the wasted opportunities of a lifetime. Soon we will be gone. Where are the men who tried Warren Hastings in Westminster hall? Where are the pilgrim fathers who put out for America? Where are the veterans who on the Fourth of July, 1794, marched from New York park to the Battery and fired "a salute and then marched back again? and the Society of the Cincinnati, who dined that afternoon at Tontine coffee hou.se on Wall street? and Grant Thoburn, who that afternoon waited fifteen minutes at the foot of Maiden I ane for the Brooklyn ferryboat. then got in-and was rowed across by two men with oars, the tide so strong that it was an hour and ten minutes before they landed? Where are the veterans that fired the salute and the men of the Cincinnati society who that afternoon drank to the patriotic toast? and the oarsmen that rowed the boat and the people who were transported? Gone! Oh, this Is a fleeting world! It is a dying world. A man who had worshiped it all his days in his dying moments described himself when he said, "Fool, fool, fool!" Cn failing- Becnrltles. I want you to change temples and to give up the worship of this unsatisfying and cruel gcd for the service of the Lord Jesus Christ. Here is the goldthat will never crumble. Here are the securities that will never fail. Here are the banks that will never break. Here is an altar on, which there has been one sacrifice that does for all, for "by one sacrifice hath Christ perfected forever them that are sanctified." Here is a God who will comfort you when you are in trouble and soothe you when you are sick and save you when you die. For he has said: "When thou pas?est through .the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." -When your parents have breathed their last and the old, wrinkled and trembling hands can no more be put upon your head for a blessing, he will be to you a father and mother both, giving you the defense of one and the comfort of the other. For have we not Paul's blessed hope that as Jesus died and rose again, "even so them also which sleep in Jesus shall' God bring with him." And when your children go away from you, the sweet darlings, you will not kiss them and say goedby forever. He only wants to hold them for you for a little while. He will give them back to you again, and he will have them all waiting for you at the gates of eternal welcome. Oh. what a Gcd he is! He will allow you to come so close that you can put your arms around his neck, while he in response will put his arms around your neck, and all the windows of heaven will be hoisted to let the redeemed look out and see the spectacle of a rejoicing father and a returned prodigal locked in that glorious embrace. Quit worshiping the golden calf and bow this day before him in whose presence we must all appear when the world has turned to ashes. When shriveling like a parched scroll, The flaming heavens together roll, When louder yet and yet more dread Swells the high trump that wake3 the dead. , Oeetf' Tan '.**e*»X '.

The first premium was, won hy J. & Powers of Whiteside county, who produced 305 bushel* and 61 poundage* corn on one acre. The second premium was taken by I* D. Young, whoa* prise acre produced 189 bushel* *Od 46 pounds. Below are too statement* by the growers aa to th* methods used in producing these crops. ' . •''• <•> John M. Powers: The variety of cori used in producing this crop is. thai' known aa the Iowa 8ilvar Mine*. The ground had 35 wagon loads of manure on it in the fall of 18*0.' The ground was plowed seven inches deep on the first day of May, 1900, and the corn was planted in drills on the 14th of the same month. The ground wav uarrowed twice before planting and* twice after planting, and it was cultivated three times with corn plows*. It was also hoed four times, thinned out and all unproductive stalks re* moved. The dates of gathering were September 21 and 22. * * * L. D. Young: This corn was grown on the same ground that was used in raising prize corn in 1899. It was at the beginning very light blue grass sod, but was well tiled and had been" in grass about tea years, and was plowed out of sod in the spring of 1S99. I then put about 65 loads of *-el!-rotted manure on the land. In the fall of 1899 I began to prepare for the second acre, to be shown in the fall of 1900. I put about 28 loads more of fertility on the land and let it lie rill April. 1900. I then plowed very deep to kill all bugs and worms, putting the soil down about six inches, and also turning to the top the fertilizer that had been put on in lb'99. I then, after plowing well, used a roller to settle the ground and protect the crop from drouth, which we always expect-in the fall. About the Sth-ot May I worked the acre over with a disc harrow lightly. Then I planted the corn, using Salzer's White Cap corn. I planted the said corn 3½ feet apart in rows one way anil about 2 grains every 4 inches iu the row. I kept out all cut worms. 1 soon found the corn was too thick and then thinned to one stalk every 4 inches on the average. I cultivated the corn aa shallow as possible, so as to leave the surface mellow and hold the moisture in the ground. I plowed the coru 4 times In'all. each time plowing very lightly and going each time further from the rows. The staiks were very , strong, but the ears were not so heavy as I would like. I made many mistakes in regard to thickness. *nc. Driclca from Glass Waste. An important discovery is said to have been -made by Dr, Ormandy" of St. Helens, formerly science master In the Gamble Institute. He has succeeded in producing bricks of a commercially valiifffcle character -from the waste heaps at glass-making establishments. This refuse, of which millions of tons have accumulated, consists mainly of spent sand, minute particles of glass and about 3 per cent of iron from the various processes, and it has hitherto been considered that the presence oi iron prevented the use of the material in the manufacture of bricks. The experiments carried out by Dr. Orraandy have negatived this hypothesis and he has successfully established the fact that bricks can be produced out of the waste by special treatment.

Two weeks ago we published a larg* number of communications from torrespondents of the Farmers' Review on the value of the Jonathan apple. We add three more: I). F. Dlntleman. Illinois: This is still the very foremost apple for late fall and early winter. The tree is rather a slow grower. The color Is red and the quality of the fruit is the best. Daniel Shank, Illinois: The quality of this fruit is among the best. The tree is long-lived and will bear all the crowding you want to give it. The tree does not bear soon enough in paying quantities to be profitable. Benjamin Buckman. . Illinois: f have several trees planted In 1883, The tree is rather irregular in .growth, but is productive of very fine, red, showy apples, above the medium in size and of the best quality. It ~does not keep long enough and drops badly. The habit among orchardista of late years of picking before maturity and placing in cold storage, will, I think, bring the quality into bad repute and finally destroy the demand.

In which he gave his experience, summed it up as follows: * From the ten years of experience have arrived at the following conclusions: 1st. Would plow the ground tn the fall, and disc before seeding, thereby destroying many weeds and securing a more, compact and even seed bed. 2d. Would sow from eighteen to twenty quarts per acre, not less thau eighteen (unless there la some plan whereby lighter seeding can be made to branch more, either by mowing or rolling.) 3d.

Some of these are built like square towers four or five stories high, with no outside windows save at a considerable' distance above the ground, and no outside projections by which thieves might get in. These establishments arc called pawnshops. But they appear to more resemble banks. It is usual among the Chinese to deposit their possessions of value, when not in use, in these establishments. The people also store there in summer their winter clothing, on wMch money is*often lent. To have dealings with a pawnshop is in no way considered derogatory to a Chinese gentleman's dignity.

"Ycu knew Harvey would marry some, day." "Not when he was a stripling under twenty. You may say 1 needn't have consented to the match. Well, all my life I Had given him everything he cried for if he cried long enough, so when he wanted this now toy, after making myself nearly ill by opposing him, 1 yielded, a3 usual.

'He was infatuated with Helen. • • * - When a handsome woman of twentyfive resolves to cajjiure a boy of nineteen, it is useless to. try to offset her Influence. And there was the father." "You think he helped matters on?" "Yes. A quack doctor of no social Etandins, swamped by debt and burdened with five daughters, would use any means to see one cf them advantageously married. He of cours-3 regarded Harvey as my heir, and even then ho had a fine situation. Roclcville has grown from a village to a manufacturing town since I came here, and well educated young men—for Several years I had private masters for Harvey, as I dared not send him away to college—find no difficulty in gaining positions of trust. The boy was' in advance of his rfge; had I opposed him he might have been persuaded into a runaway match. He thought I would forgive him anything." "I'm afraid women are not successful in rearing boys." "I know they are not We are too Indulgent, too afraid of hurting our darlings, and in the end they become our maoters. Then, too, they are so accustomed to being led by a woman -that^they surrender to the first deaigning one they meet, thinking her all she seems to be. Understand, I have no fault to find with Helen in her relation to Harvey. She is a devoted wife and mother, exemplary in all her way*—She helps the-pcor and goes regularly to church. She is moral as—well, as a copy book, and has a < trite saying for every emergency. She > was the cornerstone of her shiftless father's household, and is kind enough to wish to be the entire foundation of mine." "That is where the trouble begins!" "Naturally, Phebe Tomlinson has kept my house ever since I had one to keep, and resents interference. I uphold my old servant. Helen thinks me weak, frivolous and extravagant. She has persuaded Harvey that I am a mere butterfly, unable to -manage my own affairs. You know l a m nothing of the kind; yet every day finds mc yielding to some new encroachment. Having admitted the nose of the camel I must make room for the whole body, and be crushed to the wall unless i .fight for footing. I am not brave, and rather than fight, I give way; but the _ time is- at hand when I must assert myself or become a cipher. And I dread It." "Never mind, dear. If they go too far, come to New York. You must do so without fear now death has removed the chief cause of your Quixotij exile." Mrs. Atherton sat erect in her chair and looked cautiously about the room. "I can hardly realize I am really free from that haunting terror," she said In a lowered tone. "If our deliverance had only come before Harvey's engagement everything might have been altered." "He does not saspect?" /*Ofe, no! How should he? Phebe and I are the only ones who know. But you can see how many considerations forced if; to countenance tbe marriage, and not drive the boy to ex- • fcremes, lest worse should befall." "I think yovf were wise, Gladys. Yet, since Harvey roally is married, he needs you no longer. You have lived In this quiet town long enough. A3 •»o« no longer entertain, yew must find Rcckvill* very di))J." "Helen does not care tor company," said Gladys, apologetically. "Her health was precarious last winter, and now that baby has come she dislikes to have the routine of the house disturbed. She receives only side door callers, her slaters and their friends, whom she entertains in her own apartments at any hour of the day or evening. Harvey seems satisfied with the society she provides, and has lost interest in his old associates. So I'm obliged to 'flock by myself/-' Mrs. Leonard laughed and rose to go. "Well, try ,Jt for a few months longer. Then, if matters do not change come to the city. Your money will enable you to live in good style there, and enter society. It is your money, Gladys," she added significantly. "Never foreet that. Consider well before you make further sacrifieeo to an overstrained sense of duty. You should never have go immolated youisolf had 1 known your intention in time." Mrs. Atherton did not answer as she walked with her friend to the door, encountering on the threshold a tail, handsome jroimg woman about to enter. "Can you see me now, mother?" the newcomer a3ked, when Mrs. Leonard had taken her departure. "I have a little matter of business to discuss with you." Gladys hated business. She looked ruefully at her son's wife as .with a great rustling of e m p skirU she took a seat at a small onyx table by the window and produced a number of neatly folded bills.and «receipt3. with a brand new account' book whese page3 were headed by various names inscribed in tho plainest of writing, and followed by beautifully shaped figures. Even en a check Gladys detested figures. "Harvey and I were talking over household matters last night, mother," began, Helen, in the concise tones that so well matched her clear cut personality, "and decided that in future it would be best for us—you and me—to cxamTne- tb~c~ Tradesmeir's—long-drawa accounts every quarter." "Why?" asked Gladys, evidently disturbed by the suggestion. "I have perfect faith in the people I deal with." . "I know you have; too much, perhaps. Our bills last quarter were very high," "There were additional persons in tho house. Baby Harvey brought his own court with him," said Gladys, smiling. "However, I have no objection to you taking the accounts of Tomlinson. I never meddled with sach matters in mv life." "That is reaily nothing to be proud of, mother," replied Helen, with a deprecating smile. "As for Mrs. Tomlinson, how do we know she is not in league with the tradesfolk? Such cases aire not unusual." —"I wouldsooner suspect myself thin Phebe," said Gladys, her soft voice hardening. "She has been in the family for over thirty years." "And so, if she takes what she considers her commission, regards herself safe. R*iilly, mother ** "Ob, Helen, I wish you wouldn't call me that:'' cried Gladys, who found her daughter-in-law's manner unusually irritating. "Why, hew else should I address you?" asked Helen, compressing her full red lips. "By my name. Gladys, or Madam Gladys, if yon like. Harvey always called mc so before his marriage." "A mother should not be ashamed of the proudest of all titles. I have been taught to venerate my elders." Gladys was an amiable woman, but she had a pretty one's vanity. At this allusion to her seniority over the speaker she lost her temper. "Don't be ab3urdr* she retorted. "There is no common sense reason why a woman cf your age should venerate one of mine. When you call me mother yon make us both appear ridiculous. One should regard the fitness of things." "What shall I call you then?" Helen steadily repeated. "Anything but that, Mrs. Atherton will do if you really decline my previous suggestion," said Gladys, carelessly. She was warming to tbe fray, and felt some pride in her new found courage. "And now I must .ask you to excuse me. I ride at three." Helen methodically replaced her papers in the account book. "Shall you have time to attend to this matter when you return, Mrs. Atherton?" she coldly asked. Gladys almost flinched; the deliberate utterance of her name seemed like a douche of cold water.

"My son's wife is at liberty to do as sbe pleases in these matters." • "I'm not saying otherways; she's welcome to all you have, no doubt; It's her that complains of the leaks, not me; but if she wants to stop them, I'll show her where to begin. Fruit out of season, and wine and cordials, soon count up to a pretty penny." "You arc insolent," said Helen, with difficulty controlling her anger.

Through alt the grotesque dartaapr of Pueblo superstition, writes Marion Hill in frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for October, mas a bright thread of poetic legend; and.one legend, since it is woven around the rained estufa in tbe rained Pueblo of Pecos, has a right to be told here. Pecos was founded by the man-god, the great Montezuma himself, and he therefore probably felt a protective interest in. It; at any rate when the usurping Spaniards lay upon the conquered Pueblos a cursed rule of restraint and wrong, Montezuma invoked against them the aid of his brother gods in* heaven. These told him to plant a tree upside down beside the chief estufa of Pecos, an4 to light a holy fire upon the altar, and if the fire were kept burning until the tree fell,, then would there come to the rescue of the oppressed. _a great pale-race nation, and deliver them from the Spanish thrall. So the fire was lit, and a sentinel was posted to guard its sacred flame; and the tree was planted—under the circumstances the planter would be excusable in plantins tho tree as insecurely as possible. But year after yc:r passed, and the tree remained standing. Sentinel succeeded sentinel, and the flame lived on. Generations withered away, yet deliverance saemed no nearer. One day there came a rumor from old Santa Fe that the city had surrendered to a white-faced people. Was this the band of deliverers? That, day at noon the sabred tree topple! and fell. Spanish rule was no more. The prophecy had been fulfilled. If there be an unbeliever of this legend, let him go to the ruins of Pcccs and see far himsslf that whereas the city was uuilt upon a mesa £3 barren that no trees are there nor ever have been there, yet across the crumbling estufa lies the fallen body of a pine of mighiy growth. The like cf it is not for many miles around. Whence then did it come? One Slffn Told the Truth.

"Then you will not lock at the accounts?" asked Helen. She had completely recovered her self poise, and was again calmly assertive. "No, You really mutt excuse me." 'Very well, I am sorry you consider my well meant oifer interference. Do not forget that 1 acted en my busband's suggestion." "I have no doubt your intentions were of the best. I admit, tool" that I may live extravagantly; but I have been used to luxury all my*life. I like it, and I can afford it. That, I think, covers the question." She .rose, indicating that the interview was at an end; but Helon had still something to say, and being a resolute young woman, proceeded td say it. ~**A~ncr do you owe nothing to your son and to his sons after him?" sho slowly asked. "My dear father has often told me that he is but the steward of his children's property; as all he has will one day be theirs, he owes it to them to limit his expenses as much as possible. Have you no such realization of a plain duty?" Gladys stood tor a moment as 1! petrified; then her outraged feeling; found vent in a stinging reply. "I was not aware that Doctor Blake ever had a dollar he could honestly call his own," she said with unmistakable contempt. Helen turned scarlet. Her anger seemed almost to suffocate her. She put her hand to her throat, which throbbed 'violently. Gladys shrank from her fierce look, terrified at the demon she had stirred. But the poor doctor's daughter had learned selfmastery in a trying school, and after one stormy moment was herself again. "I thank you for your kind and charitable thought, madam," she said calmly, and with a bow left the room, leaving her conqueror to endure what was worse than the pangs of defeat— the consciousness that she had not acied with the generosity which usually characterised her every action. Standing at the drawing room window half an hour afterward, with her baby is ber arms, Helen saw Gladys gallop off. followed by a groom in unassuming livery. She disapproved of this groom as she disapproved of the housekeeper and Gladys' own maid. They were all unnecessary luxuries. To tbe debt-haunted doctor's daughter lavish expenditure seemed almost wicked—the more so that one day tbe money which made it possible would belong by right to her children. She stood looking discontentedly into the fair garden, now rioting in ro3es, waiting for Harvey's appearance. Every day found her at this window, ready to greet him with a smile while he was still at a distance, and with her baby in her arms, hei beautiful eyes glowing with wifely love and motherly pride, -he made a picture fair enough to justify young Atherton'8 infatuation for her.

X When It was finally settled that I was to go up into the mountains of Wyoming on a bunting trip with old Bill Potts, a dosen men called to bid me a last goodby. They looked their pity and sorrow, and their hands tingered lovingly in mine. I was rather skeptical. I didn't see why I should be pulled down by a mountain Hon, clawed into mince meat by a griaaly bear or buried, under a landslide, but they smiled feebly and shook their heads In a solemn way. Only one telegram received out of eight or ten threw any light on the matter, and the light came too late. It read: "If you are going hunting with old Bill Potts, you'd better make your will and leave things easy for the widowed and fatherless." The other telegrams simply read that the senders would see that my grave was kept green, if It could ever be found, and that it was to be hoped I wouldn't suffer over a week In dying. I Uked old Bill. He was hale and hearty and good natured, and he could pack a mule, cook a good meal and shoot fairly straight. He was a smoker and a chewer, played a good game of euchre, and I had every confidence that the pair of us would get along like brothers. We got away in good style, and it was two full days before anything happened to shake my confidence in him. Then, as I sat cleaning my rifle, he picked up the ax to cut some wood. He hadn't made six strokes before the ax flew off the handle and almost shaved my hair aa it passed. "Excuse me, colonel," said old Bill as he held up the handle. "That ax has bin loose for the last six months and orter have bin fixed. I'll tend to it the first rainy day we have." "But man, that was a close call for me," I said as 1 felt my anger rising. "Yes, colonel, but as long as no danv age was done It's all right. I kinder thought it was goln to cut yer head ^nVbut-it ria-aJeetle and missed ye." I figured that it was pure accident and overlooked it. Next morning old Bill found the trail of a lion near our camp, and after breakfast we took It up and started out. I had a. Winchester, and he bad a double barreled shotgun loaded with buckshot. He took the lead, and we had trailed for half a mile when I stumbled over a stone and pitched forward. Potts was about 20 feet ahead of me, gun on bis shoulder and passing perfectly open ground. As I went down both barrels of his gun were discharged, and my hair curled as the handful of shot shrieked over me and cut away half the branches of a'young pine. "What is it? What were you shooting at?" I shouted as I scrambled up, half expecting the lion had got in our rear and was stalking us. "Ye see, colonel," replied old Potts, With a sb(**p1«h lnftk on his face. WI allus carry my gun on the full cock, so's to save time, and I guess I must have bin tlngerin them hammers." "You dolt! You idiot! You Jackass!" I yelled at him as I looked for a club. "If I hadn't Btumbled over that stone, you'd have blown a hole through me as big us a barrel." "Yes; but ye stumbled, and, bein aa no harm was done, I hope ye won't get mad about it Why, sich things are liable to happen every day." I told Potts that if I ever caught him carrying his gun in that shape again I'd pump lead into his legs and leave him to the wolves, and for the rest of the day the relations between us were strained. Under the influence of a good supper and a pipe we got closer together, however, and by and by he went into the tent for the cards. He was fussing around for several minutes, and I had just opened my mouth to ask him the cause of his delay when a bullet lifted the bat off my bead and Bent It ten feet behind me. I made two jumps for a bowlder and yelled to Potts, thinking I had been fired on by a renegade Indian, but when the man came out with my self cocking revolver in his hand I knew what bad happened. "You blunderhead! You fool of a jackassP' 1 shouted as I made np to him, but he backed off and protestingly explained: "Don't git narvous, colonel I had never seen one of these self cockers and was jest tryin i t I might have p'inted it the other way, but 1 didn't think." "No, you didn't and the ban went through my bat Potts, yon are a fooL Yon don't know enough to chew beans." "What a fuss to raise ore; a leetle ident and nobody hurt at thatP* si&hod Potts, and we spoke no more togVher that evening.

We bad with us a thumping t>i? ix>nr trap, tfnd while be shouldered it And set off to-place it In hopes te foot of my face and with a sound that made me think of a surgeon sawing off legs. I had escaped, but. my gun was caught in a giant's vise. I got up and tried to call old Potts names, but I was so shaken and mad that not a word would come. He stood looking at me with a puzzled and anxious expression on his face, as If wondering what there was to break loose about and at last I grabbed up a club and jumped in on him. I believe that I chased him fully a mile before 1 gave up, but he kept out of my way. When I finally sat down to rest, he came sneaking back to say: "Colonel, they all said ye was a queer sort of a critter, but this last circus beats my time. Mebbe ye'U tell me what it's all about V "And maybe I'll pump 16 bullets into you as soon as I get hold of my rifle I" 1 gasped. "Potts, you ought to be killed out of hand. It won't be murder to wipe you off the face of the earth." "Bekase of that b'ar trap?" he asked. "Yes, of course. You knew where it was and never said a word to me. If I hadn't struck the chain with my foot, I'd have walked right into it." "Yes, I'd sorter forgot 'bout that trap." he mused as he scratched his ear, "but it's all right ain't it? Ye didn't walk into It and I can't see why ye should kick up sich a row. Lordy, but ye seem to be a mighty pertickler man!" It was a bit of a job to get my rifle free of the Jaws, and I then dumped the old trap Into a ravine and warned Potts that if he showed his face in camp I'd fusillade him. He waited for two or three hours and then came in with an injured expression on his face and started up the fire for supper. By that time I had got over my desire to shed his blood, but I couldn't overlook bis •carelessness. We ate and smoked and sat around in silence, and next day would have seen the partnership dissolved for sure but for an incident of the night. Soon after midnight a grizzly camo skulking around and almost stampeded our mules, and Potts showed his gameness by bluffing the old fellow back into the thicket without waiting for me. This broke the ice and made us friends again, and it was agreed to give old Ephralm a hard run for it next day. When mornjnewsjili** sato bfctof* «n* OftQff jny bide if ever I want to be agMn.

Next day we started the outfit for home. Potts might have reconsidered his resignation, bat I wouldn't give him a chance. I couldn't stay up there: alone, but It was death to stay with him. We made the journey of 50 miles without a word. When we reached home, I paid blm off and said: great teeth, closed together"wTfKETT* """Pbttsv yow-yotF-yon are an unhnnr ing came, I bad about taken old Potts under my wing again and was secretly glad that I hadn't reached him with my club. As soon as breakfast was dispatched we started out The bear had left tracks as big as a bouse and in going away had beaded along the mountain. We could reasonably hope to hole him up somewhere within a mile, provided he bad satisfied his hunger and got home in the due season. When we finally came to a likely spot I went to the right and Potts to the left to investigate an opening in the rocks. I made a slow advance, realizing that the bear might be in ambush behind any of the~1big bowT" ders, and I was crouching alongside of one, with neck stretched out when there was a whiz and a spat and I was blinded for a moment by particles of stone flung Into my eyes. Potts was carrying a rifle that day. and as its bark followed the spat of the bullet I knew what had happened. While I had my bonds to my eyes I heard him shout at the top of his voice: "Hey. colonel I've got him—got him fur sure!" Half a minute later he stood beside me, prepared to finish off the "game." I think be was really surprised and perhaps considerably disappointed when he found a living man instead of dead grizzly, and he hadn't a word to say. He sat down near me on a rock, apd it was five minutes before I bad my eyes cleared enough to make him out Then 1 brought np my Winchester and'said: < "Potts, I'm going to shoot 16 boles into your jackass carcassl Where do yon want the first one?"

Until the time of Charles Xll of Sweden the artillery was not considered a part of the army. The men serving in It were hot soldiers, but regarded as mechanics.. The officers had no army rank. Charles XII gave artillery officers a rank and regularly organized the artillery into companies. The battle of Pavia demonstrated the superiority of the gun in the hands of the Spanish Infantry. - The musket carried a two ounce ball and sometimes brought down at one fire two or three mailed knights. The French sent a flag of truce to remonstrate against the use of such barbarous weapons. Alexander bad four kinds of cavalry— the cataphrseti, or heavy armed horse; the light cavalry, carrying spears and very light armor; the acrobalistse, or mounted archers, used for outposts, pa* trols and reconnoitering duty, and the dimachoe, or troops expected to act either as cavalry or infantry. Alexander the Great reorganized his father's army. The file or lachos of 10 men was the unit; two files made a dilochy; two dllocnle3 matte a tetntrfhyi^twcr tetrarchies a texiarchy; two of these a syntagura; 16 of these a small phalanx; four of these a tetra-phalangarchy, otherwise known as a large phalanx.

On one occasion a female singer in high esteem at court had been appointed to sing one of Haydn's compositions. At the rehearsal she and the conductor differed as to the time of the music. The matter was to be settled by referring It to Haydn himself. When called on to decide, he asked the conductor if the singer was handsome. "Very," was the reply, "and a special favorite with the prince." "Then she is right," replied Haydn. <Sfr£ Thie ajgnatnro ia on every box of too gonnino MB 1W U VC m UIUU,*JIIUBUtJ Taoiote " thai STATK of MICHIGAN. County of Livingston, S3.

This discourse of Dr. Talmage is appropriate for all seasons, but especial* ly in times of great political agitation. The text is, Daniel vi, 16, "Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions." Darius was king of Babylon, and the young man Daniel was so much a favorite with him that ho made him prime minister, or secretary of state. Oberammergau has been casting up 'But no man could gain such a high the accounts of this year's Passion : position without exciting the envy and jealousy of tho people. There were demagogues in Babylon who were so appreciative of their own abilities that they were affronted at the elevation of this young man. Old Babylon was afraid of young Babylon. The taller the cedar the more apt it Is to be riven of the lightning. These demagogues asked, the king to make a decree -that any body that made a petition to anyone except the kins during a period of thirty days should be put to - death. Kins Darius, not suspecting any foul pla^, makes that decree. The demagogues have accomplished all they want, because they know that no one can keep Daniel from tending petitions before G | I for thirty days. So far from', being afraid, Daniel Among the documents in the Forum \ goes on with his' supplications three Flay, There were 48 performances and 200,600 visitors, who paid $300,000 for adimasion. The profits of the village from lodgers, the sale of trinkets, etc., were between $750,000 and $1,000,000. Munich and Bavarian railroads have also profited, the latter showing a surplus of $2,500,000. A monumental statue of the late Cardinal Lavigerie was recently dedicated at Biskra, on tho confines of the Sahara desert. The cardinal is represented standing, his eyes turned towards the desert, holding in his right hand his pastoral cross, which he seems to be planting In that desert land toward which went forth all his aspirations as bishop and colonizer. /lave been- discovered certain writings tending to cast considerable doubt on the generally accepted statement thai Nero set fire to Rome and fiddled as he watched it burn. It now appears from many evidences that the fire was started by the Christians. It is shown by various documents that the Are oitginated close to Nero's own palsce, r„nd that the suburbs inhabited by the poor Christians escaped the conflagration. A stranger called at the police hendquartcra of SalhrarKsn., the other day, according to a Kansas City paper, and related a circumstantial Etory of how he had been robbed of a forty-dollarbill. Every policeman in town was furnished with a description of the alleged thief, and a whole day was spent in looking for him before it dawned upon any of the sleuths tha: there is no such thing as a forty-dollar-* ill. By that time the Joker had disappeared from Salina. One of the many narrow escapes of feeing shot dead in the war occurred •when Colonel Stowe's train was held up by Theron, near Kroonstad, tho other week. Mr. J. E. §hp.rp shared the saloon ftith Colonel Stowe. They were awakened by Theron's Mauser volley at twenty-five yards' range. Mr. Sharp sustained a wound through his foot. But for the mistake of a servant making up the biink_the wrone way about he would undoubtedly have had the bullet through his head. Tlie role of the mosquito in spreading malaria has just been demonstrated quite conclusively in England. Some insects, which had repeatedly ctung men suffering from tertian fever, were sent from Rome to London, and there allowed to sting the son of Dr. Manson, who had never had malaria. The young man so bitten Soon developed a typical attack of tertian fever, and examination of his Wood showed the presence of the germ -peculiar to that variety of malaria. A muddy river betokens one of the greatest of national losses. It means that the rich soil, which Jack Frost and other natural agencies have been ages In forming, is washing away into the ocean. Tillers of the land could do much to prevent rthe loss by keeping the ground on hillsides covered with trees or with sod. It Is the cultivated field on a slant which washes away most rapidly. It is contrary to public policy, or at least to the welfare of the future, that the topsoil of such land should be sent down to the ocean when it might be yielding grass crops. Many rivers that are now muddy were clear Tjefore the com- 'ng to this continent of civilized man. One of the most novel exhibits at the Paris exhibition is the complete set of bed hangings from Madagascar, manufactured from the silk of the halabe. The halabe is an enormous and ferocious female spider, which, although it has a way of eating the males which come near it, and feeding on the weaker members of its own sex, has been most effectually dealt with by M. Nogue, the head of the AntanarlTo Technical school. He has invented a neat arrangement for winding off t h e ' brilliant golden-colored' thread, and each spider yields from :100 to 400 yards of silk, which, although finer than that of the silk- Mrorm, poaa«ss«« remarkable strength. times a day ar.d is found on-his housetop making prayer. Ho is caught in the act. He is ccnder.ircd to be devoured by the lions. Rough executioners of the law seize him rind hasten hLn to the cavern. I hear tho growl of the wild beasts, and I 'see them pawing the dust, and as they put their mouths to the ground th.3 solid earth quakes with their bellov,*- ing. I see their eyes roll, and I almcst hear the fiery eyeballs snsp in the darkness. These monsters approach Daniel. They have an appetite keen with hunger. With one stroke of their paw or one snatch of their teeth they may leave him dead at the bottom of the cavern. But what a strange welcome Daniel receives from these hungry monsters! They fawn around him; they lick his hand; they bury bis feet in their long manes. That night he has calm.sleep with hij head pillowed on the warm necks of the tamed lions. But net so well does Darius, the king, sleep. He has an attack of terrific insomnia. He loves Daniel and hastes thin strategem by which he has been condemned. All night long the king walks the floor. He cannot slaep. At the least sound he starts, and his flesh creeps with horror. He is impatient for the dawning of the morning. At the first streak of the daylight Darius hastens forth to see the fate of Daniel. The heavy palace doors open and clar.g shr.t long b€f< of the city waken. Dirius goes to the den of the lion?. He looks in. All is silent. His heart stops. He feels that the very worst has happened; but, gathering all his strength, he shouts through the rift3 of the rock, "O Daniel is thy God, whom thou servest continually able to deliver, thee?" There comes rolling up f^om the deep darkness a voice which says: "O king, live forever. My God has seuL his angels to shut the lions' mouths that they have c/n hurt me." Then Daniel is brought out from the den. The demagogues are hurled into it, and no sooner have they struck the bottom of the den than their flesh was rent and their bones cracked, and their blood spurted through the rifts in the rock, and as the lions made the rocks tremble with their roar they announce to all ages tbat while Ood will defend his people the wuy cC the ungodly shall perish. Daniel's Gruntost cr?nnne. Lear') from this subject that the greatest crime you can commit in tbe eyes of many is the cri^:-,' of success. What had Daniel done tb;:: he should the rim of their hats. Yon catch a word or tw»rM yow pass by thea* "8tttck up," says one, "Got it disnonesily,* aaya anotXer.

Every item of your success has been to them an Item of discomfiture and dejpair. Just as soon as rn any respect you rise above your fellows, if you are more virtuous, if you are.more wise, if you are more influential, you cast a shadow on the prospects of others. The road to honor and success is within reach of the enemy's' guns. Jealousy says, "Stay down, or I'll knock you dov$n." " I d o not like you," says the snowfl^-G to the snowbird. "Why don't you like mo?" said the snowbird. "Oh," said the snowflake, "you are going up and I am coming down." Youug merchants, young lawyers, young doctors, young mechanics, young artists, young farmers, at certain times there are those to sympathize witn you but now that you are becoming master of your particular occupation or profession, how is it now, young lawyers, young doctors, young artists, young farmers, —how is it now? The greatest crime that you can commit is the crime of success. DeoUUm of CImrjicter. Again,— my subject Impresses me with the value of decision of character In any department. Daniel knew that if he continued his adherence to the religion ci' the Lord he would be hurled to the lions; but, bavins set his compcru well, he sailed right on. For the li-.ck cf that element of decision of character so eminent in Daniel mivny men are ruined for this world and ruincu for the world to come. A great r.\:\:\y at 40 years of age are not setJ:!c:l in any rec.TCvt, because they hav:1 net been able to make up their minus. Perhaps they will go west, pv-rhr.!^ th?y will go east; perhaps they will not; parhaps the;,' will go' north; perhaps vbey may go couth; Id'iupa they will ;::o east; perhaps may iv.;\\io that investment in re-'l e.staLi or in railroads; perhaps they will not. They arc not like a steamer that rhculd go out of New York harbor, starting for Glasgow, and th? next day should change for Havre de Grace, and the next for Charleston, and the next for Boston, and the next for Liverpool. These men on the sea of life everlastingly tacking ship and niaking no headway! Or they are like a mr.n who starts to build a house in the Corinthian style and changes it to Doric, and then completes it in the Ionic, the curse of all styles of architecture. Young man, start right, and keep on. Have decision of character. Character is like the goldfinch of Tonquin. It is magnificent while standing firm, but loses all its beauty in fl'ght. How much decision of chraacter in order that these young men may be Christians! Their old associates make sarca3tio flings at them. They go on excursions, and they do not invite them. They prophesy that he will give out. They wonder if he is not getting wings. As he passes they grimace and wink and chuckle and cay, "There gees a saint." O young man, have decision cf character! Ycu^ be flung to the lions? ;> had become prime minister. They could not forgive him for that, PW\ b-hold in that a touch cf unsanctirkd human nature as seen in all age5 of the world. So long as you are pinched in poverty, JO long as you are running the gantlet between the landlord and taxgatherer, so long as you find It hard work to educate' your children, there are people who will say: "Poor man, I am sorry for him." But after awhile the tide turns in his favor. That was a profitable investment you made. You bought just, at the right time. Fortune becomes go,«l humored and smiles upon you. Now you are in some department successful, and your success chills some one. Th03o men who used to sympathize with you stand along the street and they scowl at you from under the rim of their hats. You have more money or more influence than they have, and' you nusfht to bo acswlcd r.t frc-rn un'tb.* can afford in this mutter of religion to be laughed at. What do you care for tho scoffs of these men, who are affronted because you will not go to ruin with them? When the grave cracks open under their feet, and grim messengers push them into'it, and eternity come3 down hard upon their spVit, and conscience stings, and hopelesu ruin lifts them up to hurl them down, will xhvy laugh then? Christianity fnr Rosy Men. Again I learn from this subject that a man may take religion into his politics. Daniel had all the affairs of state on hand, yet a servant of God. He could not have kept his elevated position unless he had been a thorough politician, and yet all the thrusts of officials and all the danger of disgrace did not make him yield one iota in his high tonoa" religious principle. He stood before that age, he stands before all ages, a specimen of a godly politician. So tnere have been in our day and in the days of our fathers men ?.s eminent in the service of God as they have bean eminent in the service of the state. Such was Benjamin F. Butler, attorney general of New York fn the time of your fathers. Such was John McLean of the supreme court of the United States. <Such was.George Briggs of Massachusetts. v Such was Theodore Frelinghuyaen of New Jersey— men faithful to the state, at the same time faithful to God. It is absurd to expect that men who have been immersed in political wickedness for thirty or forty year^ shall come to reformation, and «>ur hope is In the young mer who are coming up, that they have patriotic principle and Christian principle side by side when they come to the ballot box and cast their first vote and that they swear allegiance to the government of heaven as well as to the government of the United States. We would1 have Bunker Hill mean less t o them than Cavalry, and Lexington mean less to them than Bethlehem, but because there are bad men around the ballot box Is no rwwoa why Cbrifthm men -Ivv;'J :'Cv.-eat frcr.i tha ,v:c...n.

Wo must carry'our religion into our (Miltics. But there are a great many men who are in favor of taking rellfjoa Into national politics, who do not seo the importance of taking it into city politics, as though a'man were intelligent about the welfare of hia neighborhood and had no concern about his own home. My subject also impresses me with the fact that lions cannot hurt a good man. No man ever got into worse company than Daniel got into w&en he wnx thrown into the den. W h a t a rare morsel that fair young man would have been for the hungry monsters! If they had plunged at him he could not have climbed into a niche beyond the reach of their paw or the 'snatch cf their tooth. They came, pleaded, all around about him, as hunteres' hounds at the well known •whistle... .come bounding t o his feet, You need not go to Numi dia to get many lions. You all have them after ycu—the lion of financial distress, tho lion cf sickness, the lion of persecution. You saw that lion of financial panic putting his mouth down to the earth, aud ho roared until all the banks and all the insurance companies quake:!. With his nostril he scattered the ashes on the domestic hearth. You have had trial after trial, misfortune after misfortune, lien after lion, and yet they have never hurt you. The Persians need to think that spring rain falling into sea shells would turn into pearls, and I have to tell ycu that the tears-of sorrow turn into precious gems when they drop into God's bottle. You need be afraid of nothing, putting your trust in God: Even death, that monster lion, whesa den is the world's sepulcher, and who puts his paw down ami'd thousands of j millions of the dead, cannot affright you. When in olden times a man was to get the honors of Knighthood, he was compelled to go fully armed the night before among the tombs of tho dead, carrying a eort of spear, and then when the day broke he would come forth, and, amid the sound of cornet and great parade, he would get the honors of knighthood. And so it will be with the Christian in the night before heaven, as, fully armed with spear and helmet of salvation, he will wait and watch through the darkness until the morning dawns and then he will take the honors of heaven amid that great throng with snowy robes, streaming over sea3 of sapphire. THAWaVAAU WAJt I T S * * * JAMAICA PROGS Only Seven of One Hundred and rifly Survive Sea Voyaro. Tho biological department of the- Johns Hopkins University has a number of interesting specimens of zool- -egy,- some of which will be of vat in the higher research work of the department this year, says the Baltimore Sun. Tbe Rummer vacation Is usually a time for collecting queer creatures and plants for winter investigation, a students' trip to Jamaica last summer being especiaaly productive of such rarities. Dr. Lawrence E. Giffin anC Mr. W. C. Coker left last June for Jamaica. Among otber things they collected 150 bullfrogs. They were unable to stand the voyage to this country, and the seven that survived are now at the university in an emaciated condition. This Jamaica product is not a real bullfrog, but a toad. They were brought to Jamaica from Barbadoes under tho impression that they would kill rats. This was found to be a mistake, and the toad remained and is new quite common. They are of a dark brown color, with a body the size of a large bullfrog, but with short legs like a toad, and are not edible. Like all toads, they are not aquatic. A handsome feature of the Jamaica collection Is a set of fine tortoise shell turtles all beautifully mounted. A crocorlile skeleton was also procured, which will prove an object study for the minor classcu in osteology. The Jamaica crocodile is more vlclou3 than'the Florida variety, living on fish or an occasional native who is unwary. It is also not so sluggish as other varieties, and is peculiar in having no sleeping time.

A dispatch from Bloerafontein, dated Oct. 20, says: The telegraph lines are still interrupted arid mails delayed owing to the Boers derailing a train south of Eden burg. All Boers over 14 years of age, living; outside a radius of 10 miles from Bloemfontein, are being surrounded bj' British troops andJaikcu to that place, to prevent their rejoining the commandoes.

Botha for the surrender of the Boers. Botha received Gen. Paget's flag of truce courteously and admitted his defeat, but said it was impossible to treat for surrender as long us any burghers wished to continue the war. President Steyn was more irreconcilable. He refused to even see the bearer of a flag of truce. Lord Roberts, according to dispatches from Cape Town on the 15th, has taken his sick daughter to Johannesburg, and Lord Kitchener is left in command.

Opera +ytntier A.rrested» Another American woman has been subjected to the ignominy of arrest and detention by the infamous Brigade de3 Moeurs, as that particular division of the Parisian police are designated, which is intrusted with the duty of -putting-into—exe cittion the laws dealing with the women of tho half world. The most recent victim of the Brigade des Moeurs is May Garlick . of Baltimore, wife of the Marquis de Feo. She is now seriously ill from the effects of the brutal and vile treatment to which she was subjected by the police, who, insisting that she was a notorious character, arrested her and kept her for several hours in prison until she was identified. Then she was released -with the usual apologies. May Garlick, prior to her unfortunate marriage, was one of the leading singers of the Castle Square Opera company at the American theater in New York.

Frcat, one of the most distinguished citizens of S t Louis, died suddenly at his home in that city last week. His death was very sudden, for, although the general wa# 77- years old, he had been remarkably healthy and had not complained of any illness. Gen. Frost was a native of New York and a graduate of West Point in the class of 1841. He had fought with distinction in the Mexican war, and the outbreak of the civil war found him in St. Louis a prosperous lumber merchant. He took sides with the confederacy and for. two years served in that cause. The principal Incident in his civil war Career was his defense of Camp Jackson in this city and his surrender in May, 1861, to the federal troops under General Lyon. The state militia had been called together for their annual drill and were encamped under Frost on the outskirts of the town. Before they could find an opportunity actively to express their sympathies with the south they were captured by the home guards and—the Missouri volunteers. After the close of the war General Frost returned to St. Louis and settled on his farm near the city. One of his sons, B. Graham Frost, who died several months ago, represented a Missouri district in congress.

A peculiar interest attaches to the life of Mr. Barnett, for he was one of the young men friends of Abraham Lincoln, -who was a-few months his senior. The squire says that Lincoln and he were often together, and that, although he thought much of Lincoln, he never voted for him but once, and that was when he ran for the legislature against Peter Cartwright. He recalls many pleasant incidents. When he first became acquainted with Lincoln the lat- JOHN L. BARNETT. ter was engaged with William Berry, son of John Berry, in running a grocery. Judson Lyons.

AMD STRONG MOWS With glowing health all things are possible, small annoyances fade into nothingness and real troubles are battled with successfully. Women who are> blessed with perfect health are * constant joy to themselves and all around them. The beauty which health alone can make permanent ** * crown which raises a woman above other women. Such beauty is always accompanied by a sweet disposition, lor anappishneaa is a sure sign of ill-health and leaves its marie quickly on the features. It seems to be the fashion for women to ignore health and sacrifice it to the little every-day trials, or offer it up on the altar of devotion to dairy- tasks.—Their agaixr the nervous organization of women Is constantly attacked by woman's natural experiences, so that it is practically impossible for her to retain the beauty which nature gave her, unless she has discrixmV nating advice and right support. Dr. Greene's Nervura for tho Blood and Nerves* Trials and troubles are easily overcome by the women whose strength is the genuine strength of perfect health. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, bridges the chasm that separates the sickly woman from happiness. It fills her veins with blood that is pure and clean. Mns. \VM. E. BOSSE, of 85 Farrington S t , Flushing1, L. I., says : " In regard to myself, I have suffered for years with disease, having bsen troubled with great nervousness, fem&lo complaints, indigestion-, aivi EiaX. weakness and prostration. I did not ve strength to do much of anything. Knowing the great value of health and strength— I consulted doctors and took many medi ernes, but th*y all failed to cure me, and I grew \vo:*si rather than better. I happened to see in the papers bow muen good Dr. Greenes Nervura blood and nerve remedy, was doing in restoring to health everybody who took it, and I thought I would try a bottle. I used ^ it and to my surprise I began to gain strength avory day. I am so thankfnl that I tried it! It ic certainly the most excellent tonic and strength giver. I recommend it very highly and v»i»h that other people who are troubled in any way would take warning and use it" TO PRESERVE WOMANLY BEAUTY At all tho stages of a woman's life Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, is shown to be efficient to ward off the results of nervousness, or over*- work, or impure blood. From early girlhood to advanced years, this worldrenowned medicine builds up the forces destroyed by disease, grief, or overexertion, and the effects of this great medicine arc quickly felt and permanently retained. Lst women guard well their health, and consult Dr. Greene freely. Nothing they can possibly do will so surely keep them strong and well, or repair the exhaustion from acute illness, nothing will work so continually to the preservation of beauty as the great health-giving Nervura.

When tke Yo«»* Woman Tfcoaxht It WM Gold, Sae Got Nervosa. The oar had just rounded "dead man's curve" at Fourteenth street, when a daintily clad youug woman swished something out of her hand which as it struck the street was followed by a sharp metallic sound. "What was that you threw away, my dear?" asked her companion, another girl about the same age. "Money," laconically responded the thrower. **Moneyr continued heir companion -tn a horrified tone ofr-votce. "Why, it sounded like gold." "My gracious!" shrieked the thrower. "Have I thrown away one of those goldpleces?" By this time several of the passengers had arisen from their seats and were looking in an indignant way at the conductor for not stopping the car. He, however, was one of those high collared, stoical young men who boss things on the Broadway cars, and the excitement created by the money thrower did not cause him to turn a hair. AH this time the car was bowltog as merrily along as Broadway cars ever do bowl, and it was getting farther auoTffrfher away~from the money. One or two of the passengers were about to jump off the car, but then they thought better of it and turned their gaze anxiously on the young woman, who was hunting frantically through her purse. Just as it seemed the strain would be too much for the excited passengers to bear longer the fair thrower looked up smilingly at her companion and murmured sweetly: "It's all right, my dear. It wasn't a goldpiece after all." "What was it, then?' asked the second young woman. "Only a crooked penny," replied the thrower.- "I always throw away crooked pennies for luck." Then both girls softly giggled, while the other passengers, looking both foolish and disgusted, resumed their seats. —New York Tribune.

As indicating the populace, proverbially fickle and easy to be moved (mobile, from Latin mobillis), the expression "the mobile people" is as old as the time of Chaucer, but in its later sense, that of the disorderly crowd, and In its contracted form, "mob," it is not older than the postrestoration period. In Roger North's Examen, 1740, reference is made to the Green Ribbon clnb, 1680-2, and the writer adds: "I may note that the rabble first changed their title and were called the mob in the assemblies of this c l u b - first mobile vulgus, then contracted in one syllable." It was need hesitatingly at first by Dryden ("Don Sebastian," 1690), Durfy ("Commonwealth of Women," 1GS8) and Snadwell (''Squire of Alsatia," 1688), and Richardson points out that Dryden uses both "mobile" and "mob" in the sense of rabble, the former in the stage directions as the common word, the latter as if it had not long been Introduced. In 1711 The Spectator Instances '*mob" as an example of the popular tendency to curtail many of our words In familiar writings and conversation. The verb "to mob," derived of course aa above, does not occur until the period of Horace Walpole. many years later, and Shakespeare's expression, "the mobled queen" ("Hamlet"), refers not to the "mob" (mobile), but to the headdress in disorder.—Boston Transcript. W o « l i C e a e Aayhow, The Rev. Father Staunton of the well known Church of St Alban, Holborn, Is a humorist in his way and often tells with inimitable effect a droll story \n the coarse of his sermon which sends through the congregation a gentle ripple of merriment On, Sunday he satirised the ambition of certain people to use words of which they did not know the meaning. Many of them were fond of sticking the letters "D. V." in an sorts of pieces Instead of using the plain, homer/ English pnimat "God willing." Be knew one gentlenan, rather snaky In his Latin, who In a letter to a friend wrote "I wffl he with yon ^Tv: en Mimrtay. hut anrway on TMfday."~Londo* TsisgrsglV 159 132 500 5!>1 345 154 121* away and ths^ swung on 16 the train that bad been waiting 30 mlim**s for lunch and was gone. "When'the day man relieved me the next morning, 1 put for the hotel and found it after tramping about for two hoars and made arrangements to stay there. The proprietor's wife Jieemed to take a mother)? interest in me, and that afternoon when I started for work she had a bang up lunch of fried chicken and Jam and things. "Well, that night about H o'clock 1 got hungry fur that olilokeu and hauled out my lunch basket I had just get things nicely spread out on the Instrument table when In come a fat englneer. '"'Hello, kid!' said be. That's toe good a feed for you. If 11 give yon bellyache, sure's the world/ ^"Wh^reupon he put me on a Ijenctc: sat on my legs and ate my supper. Then be got up, sucking his teeth, an* said: " 'See them woods over thereT pointing across the track. There wasnt anythinff else In Right. 'Well, them woods is 40 miles long an 15 miles wide an chuck full o* berries. Go'n eat y»useif t* death.' "He walked leisurely out to his engine, and I went to the lunch shanty just below the station and ate up two days' salary before I discovered how determined the keeper was to have plenty of money to support bis.old age. "The next day I didn't go to the ho-' tel, but staid near the station and ma-! Plotted revenge. It was the custom to telegraph up from Wilcox the number , of passengers who wanted meals at the A4tbottffb James (xreene wasde-^--Kihe- iunch shanty, and when I got the first message that night after vainly scheming all day an idea struck me. The message read, 'Six suppers on 27.' I made it read 2G and carried it to the lunch keeper, who fairly danced with glee at the unexpected rush. He undoubtedly saw a Fifth avenue mansion for his old age. Just as 27 pulled tn I rushed Into the shanty with a message purporting to have come from Wilcox saying that at the last moment 20 passengers had decided to stay there overnight to take part in a local political celebration. Flynn was furious and went to the conductor for corroboration. The latter heard with a grin the story of the 26 prepared suppers and, remembering his own experiences with Flynn's prices on two or three occasions, simply shrugged his shoulders and said: " 'How c'n I help ItT "Well, the loss of sleep that day and the excitement did me up, and about 11 o'clock I found I couldn't keep my eyes open. I took the red lantern and nailed the tin bottom to a tie in the middle of the track and went to the edge of the woods and lay down. When I awoke, the day operator, who had been dragged out of bed two hours ahead of time, was getting the Philadelphia and Brie railroad system into operation again after a six hour suspension of service. "But there wasn't any smash up, and no lives had been lost, and I got a Job two days afterward at HtusvUle^— • » • • • " • : • • . . • . • *-' ; ' . . •',» • , ' .

HI8 SCHEME WAS SIMPLE AND THOROUGHLY EFFECTIVE. A Safe Plan, Not Pateated, That May Be Fallowed by Railroad Telegraph Operator* Who Mast Go t o Sleep While o a Daty. "However tired or overworked he may be the railroad operator who allows trains to smash into each other while he pounds his ear is a brainless idiot" said William James, an old timer. "When I was a youngster I was in charge of a station down in Pennsylvania. I went to sleep on duty because I couldn't keep awake. Trains met there every hour or so, and I was the only person to run the business at that point I went to sleep and slept six hours, and there wasn't any smash up or the slightest possibility of one so far as my station was concerned. "I was 15 years old when I applied for a job to Superintendent Pltcairn of the Philadelphia and Erie. He took me on immediately and sent me out to Kane. That was the place where Dr. Kane, the Arctic explorer, once lived, and It was named for him. Kane Is on top of a mountain, with Wilcox at the bottom on one side and Wetmore on the other. Oil is the great product there now, but in 1866 the traffic was In general freight. Big trains met at Kane, and for a small place the traffic was considerable. "I was met at the station by a big, wild eyed man, who said that he guessed I was the kid that was going to relieve him. He said he was glad to get out but he giTPRSPd I'd like the work. '"You'll have the night trick,' said he, 'and you'U only have to be here from 6 p. m. to 7 a. m/ "I looked up with dismay, but he was striding ahead Into the station.

Harvey puffed with evident enjoyment for a time, chatting of trifles. Then he said quits easily, "By the way, what is this little misunderstanding between you and Nell? She is much disturbed by it, though I assured her she is over sensitive." The smile left Gladys' face. "Oh! Then you camo here because Helen sent you?" she asked. "Well, not exactly; I knew a ward from me would set matters straight, so I thought I'd better come. Where are you going?" "Only to an easy chair; this ottoman isn't comfortable." There were tears in heraeyes but Harvey did not see them. "If we are to have a consultation, I may as well sit at my ease."

Nell's a first rate busine33 woman, and I don't believe you realize how much money is spent in the house." "You have your full share of all that comes into it, Harvey." " Why, of course," he responded, with a half wondering look, as if surprised at the reminder. "What is yours is also mine in a sense; we enjoy a common inheritance. It is because our interests are identical that Helen and I wi3h to protect them. You surely see that, little woman? It would ple^ss the dear girl vary much if you'd take her Into ycur confidences-treat her more like a daughter in truth a3 she is in spirit." Gladys did not answer for a few moments; she moved her chair so that her face was partly in shadow, while she could note every expression of his. "Before we talk any further," she presently said, "I should like to know just what it is Helen desires. I comprehend that she wishes to reduce the general expenses of the establishment; but how? Does she want to take Phebe's place?" "Hardly that," returned Harvey, -flushing, "She thinks, however, now she is here, you no longer need the services of a housekeeper." "And do'you think I ought to turn out an old and faithful servant after a lifetime of devotion to me and mine?" . "Certainly not; she would remain as your maid." "So that is it!" exclaimed Gladys, with a half laush. "I thought some great idea was agitating Helen's mind. Dear, clumsy Tomlinson my maid! Apd I suppose there are other servants she thinks might be dispensed with. Well, perhaps they could; but I like (to have plenty of people about the place"—her voice grew firmer here— "and I intend to have them.

Gladys was very pale, and «hivered once or twice as she talked. • But Harvey felt no compassion for her; bis sympathy was for himself. He remembered that Mrs. Atherton had never talked of hts father, and answered his childish inquiries concerning him vaguely, diverting his thought! to other subjects; but he had not dreamed of this, and the knowledge was bitter. "This man, your husband, is he living?" "No; he died in prison a year ago." "In prison!" Harvey drew a sobbing breath. "My God, what an end to my boyish dreams! But I don't understand even yet. If he spent all your money, how does it happen that you are still rich?" "When papa died I had my full share of the estate," she answered after a scarcely perceptible pause. "It was then Phebe and I came here." "And my grandfather left me nothing?" "Nothing. He hated you, poor little orphan that you were, because you were your father's child. That is why I devoted my life to you, dear." There was infinite tenderness in Gladys' tone, but Harvey hurt and humiliated by what he* haa learned, was not moved by it. "That was the least you could do.*1 he said coldly," since it is to you 1 am indebted for my heritage of shame. We little know what people really are, do we?

For sale by P. A. 8ig)er, Pinckney. Of all tbe devilish, cold blooded things done by men you will have read of few to equal what took place aboard of the Spanish merchantman, the Santa Maria, in the year 18C2. It was published in the papers at the time, but only a partial account and as we had war and excitement at borne the Incident was soon forgotten. One of tbe oldest business houses in Mexico up to tbe date above named was that of the Spanish house of Galera &*Co., founded 75 years previously. The business of this house was banking, mining, merchandising and cattle raising. It had a dozen branches In Mexico, and it had dealings with half a dozen countries. In a financial sense it was stronger than the government, and its yearly profits footed up an enormous sum. A son of the founder had succeeded to the management, and when old age came he turned the active work oyer to a cousin named Alvarez. The new manager was a young man of 25, born In Spain of a fine family, and bad been educated for the priesthood. He was a man without a vice. Such was his probity that he was called "Holy Alvarez" even In his youth. At an enormous salary and with autocratic powers young Alvarez took over the management of affairs la Mexico, and almost as soon as he stepped foot on North American soil a i change took place in his character. He began to drink, gamble and play fast and loose. At about that time a noted French adventuress appeared at the Mexican capital, aid Alvarez speedily became her favorite. Of course there was gossip about the new manager, and there were those, who predicted that his extravagances would ultimately bring ruin to the old house, but there were no official complaints. He knew little or nothing of business, but he did know how to spend money royally, and In a year he had people guessing bow much longer it would take him to bankrupt the house. It was after tbe balance sheets bad proved to him that he was spending more than the profits of the house and was a debtor to an enormous amount that be set about preparing a grand coup. Tbe Spanish merchantman was loaded with a consignment of gold, silver, copper, furs and dyestuffs for Spain and the cargo Insured to the last cent Alvarez took Into his confidence a young man named Prado, and when the Santa Maria sailed his confederate went with her as supercargo. The ship was manned by a crew of 14 men, all Spaniards. Thirty days after her sailing to the southward tbe American bark Homeward left the port of Valparaiso homeward bound. We had been out three days when we ran into a dead calm, with the weather so terribly hot that the deck planks smoked in the sun. As we lay heaving on the ground swell a small boat drifted Into view. It seemed to be empty, and It had been in sight for two hours and was not over half a mile away when the captain decided to pick it up. A boat was sent off, and when she returned with tbe stranger we had a sad spectacle under our eyes. There was a dead man lying at full length under the thwarts. «vn? a-tcjtfaw Wgg*»» *utp uu»t an «ttu rUi»p^. off her mid »*a» Uriv4ng away bvoiiUKldf to* wiu/l and, see* . It-wan. plain thjij ^ e had spiting a ^aft, but she was by no menns waterlogged* \\> ran down and hailed bftv and, getting no answer, the mate was seat to board her. I was one of the crew of bis boat arid the sight we saw as wo climbed over the rail was one never to be forgotten. Five men lay dead on the decks, and the corpses were in a far worse state than the one In the boat. Too could telt ar a glance that the head men were Spaniards, and yet their hands and faces were as black aa your shoe, and the bodies bad ehruak and shriveled until they were of tbe size and weight of a boy. la the forecastle and cabin we found vtxiviv ' ujjuuyu t v unuur U|r <• sevw vw 14. There were 14 dead men and not a, living thing aboard of the Santa Maria. On the cabin table there were, tbe remains of breakfast, and in the fore* castle were the kids with, food still is them. Whatever had occurred was in conjunction with the morning meaL Aa there was no fever smell aboard the derelict our captain , came over to try-hie band ^t-se4v4nr the mystery. The ship's papers and log were soon found. We got her manifest and port and date of sailing, and the last entry on the log had been made five days before. At that time all was well. The bodies in cabin and forecastle were of course in a better state of preservation, and after an inspection the? captain gave it as his opinion that the entire crew had been poisoned. The attitude of each and"every man went to prove it Their eyes were open and rolled back, their fingers clutched and their knees drawn up. That derelict was a great find for us. Her manifest showed-ar-efcrgo valued at over $2,000,000, and the ship was all right above deck. As to the water in her hold, we manned the pumps and had it out to the last pint In two hours. Then we made an investigation to find the leak, and we soon discovered that a single auger hole had been bored in her bottom. The orifice had become more or less clogged with seaweed, and it would have taken another three or four days to have filled the ship. We argued that the man In the boat must have come from the-ship. As he had got away alone and bad provisioned the boat, It must have been after the others were dead. He \t was, then, who had brought about tbe wholesale death of the crew, and he must have had a strong motive. That motive was discovered when some of the boxes of treasure were hoisted out of the lazarette and broken open. Aside from one or two boxes, the whole treasure business was a fake. Lead had been substituted for silver and gold. The furs were a cheat and a fraud, and the value of the dyestuffs was not one-quarter of the sum they were Insured for. A second and closer search of the stateroom evidently occupied by the supercargo gave us the key to unlock the whole mystery. He had left behind him a letter of instruction signed by Alvarez at the City of Mexico, and from that we learned that the name of the dead man was Prado. That letter, written In Spanish, was of no old to us except as far as the two names went, but later on. when translated Into English, its contents-were of a nature to make a man turn pale. The instructions were to do Just what had been done. After the Santa Maria had reached a certain position be was to poison the crew with a certain drug prepared and then scuttle the ship and take his leave In a small boat It was doubtless figured that if not picked up he could easily reach the coast of Chile; but as I have told you, we found him dead in bis boat How his death came about I cannot say, as he had food and water and had not encountered any bad weather. I have always believed, however, that in his remorse for the awful deed he had done, coupled with the terrors of his lonely situation, he deliberately drank of the poison which had laid the others low. It was before the crew became too ill to move about that sail was taken off and she,was made snug against tbe weather. With the auger hole plugged and a part of our crew on board the Santa Maria, we laid our course for the port of Valdivla, and in due time both craft arrived there in good shape. The dead had been given burial, of course, but there was no lack of other proofs. As soon as the plot was unraveled steps were taken for the arrest of Alvarez in Mexico, and our claim for salvage was also filed. Gov- - £ ,w SPP ^ tth.

It was sickness of some sort that had brought his end, and the hot sun had baked and shriveled hia body until the sight was not .one to look at. twice. As there was no evidence that a second person had occupied the boat we inclined to the belief that a mutinous crew had sent their captain adrift There were some who thought he' might have been blown oft the. coast and yet in that ease it did not] nun by committing suicide, seem as if the craft would have been later the crew of the Homeward got a stocked with food and water aa eh* We gav« the corpse burial aud.boistr. the puzale was solved. We had caught a breeze and made a ran of a hundred mlN The* we slt*t^ a.derelict Jtoe matters. It was months before they got ready to arrest the man who had plotted this sea tragedy. He had meanwhile continued his career of dissipation and extravagance, depending upon his Insurance money to make everything good- News got to him somehow from Valdivla .of the derelict being towed in, and he left JUexlco and hid away In Bolivia. There he waa at lift found, but he cheated the bangstead of one the ship would have I n f l o w * Before*being overhauled, and Uv, that case we could have made nothing over finding hie corpse In the boat* The fact would have been en* tered on the tog and reported, but would have mused no comment oufe fide of marine electee.

It 1B a curious fact that -many insetM women are possessed with an insatia ble vanity and a mania for "make up/ says the London Express. Sometime* the only way -to keep tbe peace wltt such patients is to allow them a cer tain freedom in the use of cosmetics. A wave of unmanageableness ofter passes over the woman's side of an asylum if the material of a new uniform dress deserves the title of dowdy. Monj insane women will tear—a—sombeibrown gown to shreds, but if It is a pretty blue or a smart red they preserve it carefully against spots and dust The effect that dress has on the insane is so well known that the lunacj commissioners make special comment! in their official reports to the lord chon cellor on the colors and material of the gowns supplied to women in the varl ous asylums. • Very ejever devices to obtain cosmet ics are resorted to by patients infectec with the mania of vanity who hav€ been accustomed to artificial aids to beauty. They soak paper roses in wa ter and use the tinted result as a cheek reddener, or they put the red covers oi books borrowed from the asylum library In a basin of boiling water and bottle the carmine fluid for future fac« use. Fresh flowers of reddish tinge arc crushed and used on faded cheeks an<5 wrinkled skins. One former society beauty, now in an asylum, is perfectly tractable so long as she is allowed to wear a curly false fringe and to use a modified amount of rouge and powder. If these are taken away, she becomes suicidal and re fuses to eat. Another notable example Is that of an old woman with gray hair who becomes homicidal when she is deprived of a beautiful golden wig suited to a girl of 17. The experiment was tried once, but so much violence resulted that the commissioners recommended that she should be allowed to retain her headdress. Rpfora urimUalnn tf> thp asylum she had poisoned three persons. But the wig and plenty of pink powder keep her peaceable and contented. * The friends of patients who find their happiness in personal decoration bring tbem small packets of cosmetics, or rather they smuggle them In, for such artieles are contraband and against the rules. Though their minds are gone, the patients are clever enough to make little holes in their mattresses and to Invent most cunning hiding places for their treasures. In those cases where restriction of toilet appliances increases Insane outbreaks, tbe attendants let these little beauty stores pass by unnoticed. So long as the make up is not too evident the attendants do not interfere. Strictly speaking, curl papers are not allowed in asylums. Aa a matter of fact their use Is overlooked. Curled fringes and wavy locks often make all the difference between peace and rebellion. The Ingenuity displayed by feeble minds in turning everyday articles to facial use is often surprising. Brick dust scraped from the asylum walls, and powdered hearthstone have frequently figured on faces in lieu of rouge and powder. A spoonful of red currant jam provided a week's roses for pale cheeks. Indelible pencil coal dust and blacklend make a dark stain for colorless eyelashes and outline deficient or white eyebrows. A handful of flour lx»jcgrd from the kitchen Is an excellent substitute for tollft powder, while sroy rtr faded hair 1« aonjetimea tinted with a Mtrong decvTtioii of ten leaves. A tendency to tl^ht Ian* to such tiny prb|M>itions as t . interfe-v with sanity nnd bodily l.c.ilih is 4inot her foible of the woman with r»n(ji:iL'eil mind.

They have the right to fish in it or (rive that right to others. This is a question which many will be glad to have settled. porno^e./ The creature swam Into the net and waa not able to get out Being a rnammnl. or warm blooded animal It Is compelled to rjee for the purpose of "breathing, which tt does tbrougb Its blowhole Just behind the neck. But baa entangled In a net ft 1$ unable to rlae to the surface and la drowned in tta own element. The bnge carcase, often weighing from 200 to 400 pounds, la dreaaed by the fishermen and pot Into the tank and brought to the market where It la kept In the refrigerating tank until Friday morning, when It is sold to Italians by auction. The successful bidder alway a auDoiviQca iiio BOOS MVS tLWf^r half for himself, and the rest Is snared out among truck peddlers of Mulberry street where the Italians congregate. Then there is joy in Little Italy. The news Is spread all over the colony, women going to'their friends to tell the tidings. Very early In the morning a crowd, gathers round the store of the padrone, who has the half porpoise .displayed in all its hugeness upon a slab of wood. Fins, head, tall and insldea l a d been removed by the fishing foil, and there is nothing save the solid •meat and the great backbone. The color is a deep red. except the belly streaks, which are lighter and are streaked with fat and resemble pork very closely indeed. This is the meaning of the name, for porpoise is a corruption of the old London Latin, porc-plsce. In Roman Latin this would have been porcus plscis. The men of the north call these animals sea swine, and this Is preserved in the French marsouln, which they undoubtedly learned from the Nor* mans. The Italian padrone begins business about 7 o'clock In the morning. His price is 4 cents a pound for all quantities, large or small. His scales are above bis bead. His customers surround , him in an anxious ring, each provided with wrapping paper. Hi? watchful and affectionate family take the money and bring from time to time a freshly sharpened knife. The padrone first cuts off a chunk of about 40 pounds and then proceeds rapidly to subdivide it according to the want* of the buyers. Slice after slice of the deep flesh falls before his knife and passes lnto^ the.paper of the customers. Th* A V i l l a g e B l s t c k t m l t h Snved file U l - tleSfeerti L,ifet Mr. H. FT. Black, the well-known village blacksmith at Grabamsville, Sullivan Co., N. Y.,f»ays: "Our little ^im,fiveyears old,'has always been ter there is no odor arising from tU*» Immense mass of flash at wtnVb tu*» padrone tolls. In fact, there cap be no doubt that the meat of the poruo'*»* is flesh and uot n»h. And it may IMadded that this meat la whoJesonii* s iwT very savory when properly cooked. The porpoise Is not subject to iu*> many diseases to which land swin^'are liable, and that the flesh is savory Is certain from the affection tbe Italians have for It Even tbe Sicilians admit cheerfully that tt is as good as the swordfisb cutlet which is the great delicacy of Messina. And Itallane from other parta believe Tt to M ft*- finitely better. Porpoise was Indeed once a royal dainty and was served at all state banquets. Sometimes it was boiled In vinegar or thin white wine—about the same thing—and sometimes great slices were covered with paste and baked and eaten with a sauce of prunes and spice.—New York Son. *fm> " '*•••••> ' i t f e / i J lltiMNMMSfcl ' " • W We the undersigns*; do e e r e ^ t ; agree to refund tbe mousy on a 4sf* oent,^oUla of Down'.

Representative Loudenslager of New Jersey, secretary of the Republican congressional committee, claims the election of 204 Republicans to the next house, a majority over all of 51. The Republican majority in the present house is 12. Chairman Richardson, of the Democratic congressional committee, conceded that the next house would bo safetyRepio1>licanTl>uTUc''i^WfdrZo~e»r timate the majority. Massachusetts furnished one o f the surprising features of the balloting— surprising to both parties. While the Democrats, before election, claimed nearly everything, they seemed to have overlooked the old Bay state. They said nothing about materially cutting down the majority in this Republican stronghold, and Republicans evidently Had little /car that Bryan would dcvelope much strength in the state. The returns indicate that Bryan has carried Boston by 0,000 and cut down McKioIey's plm..* ity in the state from ll72,000 in 3800 to 50,000. The returns indicate that Bryan bailed to carry 0, single—state i n the middle west, except Missouri. In_lllU Bankruptcy proceedings are ofte* prolific in enmities.

CRIMINAL VIRTUE. (Spain's Queer l+\r Prsrerite JReseno o l Royalty from Peril. There is a Spanish law that no sub- '_ je>f ahall tniifh thA porann nt the, klpg or queen. Alfonso XIII., king ol Spain, nearly suffered a severe fall from this rule in his childhood. An aunt gave him a swing* When he used it for the first time the motion frightened him, and he began to cry, whereupon a lackey lifted him quietly out of it, and so, no doubt, prevented him from falling. The breach of etiquette, however, was flagrant and dreadful. The queen was obliged to punish it by dismissing the man from his post. At the same time she showed her real feelings on the subject by appointing him immediately to another and better place in the royal household. In another case a queen oi Spain nearly lost her life in a dreadful way owing to this peculiar rule. She had been thrown when out riding, and, her foot catching in the stirrup, she was dragged. Her escort would nol risk interference, and she would have been dashed to pieces but for .the heroic interposition of a young man. who shopped the horse and released her from her dangerous position. Ai soon as they saw she was safe, hw escort turned to arrest the traitor whe had dared to touch the queen's foot. HELPED THE CHIEF, Dow » J~oyal Xnrlneor Did HI* Urotber Groat Sorvic*. Metvdville, Pa., Nov. 12.—(Special)— The Loyalty of the Members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers ; te proverbial, A circumstance occur-} red in this city some days ago, which \ emphasizes this feeling. ' Frank J. Zeller, Is Chief of* the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers No. 143.—Ho is —extremely—popular among his fellow railway men, and: one of the best known Engineers run4 nlng out of Meadville. When the an-j nouncement was made a short time) ago that Frank was pretty sick, its caused a great deal of regret among' the boys. Soon he was missed from his engine, having had to "lay off j on account of his back. A brother or the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engl neeTS, who had been ill with similar symptoms, some time before, and who had been pulled through, called to see; Mr. Zeller, and in a brotherly way^ took with him a box of Dodd's Kidney; Pills, the Remedy which had cured him. He advised Mr. Zeller to try, tharn with th? H"w1t that after seven - boxes had been used, be was entirely] well, and able to work. ;, In an Interview Mr. Zeller states: . "I had suffered for four years witli this affliction, being often kept awake at night with pains, and at times unable to work. I tried several of the' advertised remedies, and found that they did me no earthly good. Finally, a member of our Order, who had beer; cured of Kidney Disease by Dodd's, Kidney Pills brought me a box, and asked me to try them. I had little; faith in them, but as a drowning mangrasps at a straw to help him. so L' took the Pills. I used seven boxes,' and am today as we}l and strong a' man as there is in Pennsylvania." Naturally, Mr. Zeller fcelB very grateful, and his complete recovery has delighted his many friends, and none more than the good Brother, who feels that he was instrumental In saving ^heUfeof the Chief. Dodd's Kidney Pills never falTTocure Kidney Trouble. Sold for 50 cents a box. All dealers. The clothing of a growing boy refuses to grow with him.

That daughter is a precious legacy, and the responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the mother/ The mysterious change that develops the thoughtless girl into the thoughtful woman should find the mother on the watch day and nio;ht. J>s she cares for the physical well-being of her daughter, so will the woman be. and her children also. When the young girl's thoughts become aluggish, when she experiences headaches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits an abnormal disposition to sleep, pains in the back and lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude, and a dislike for the society of other girls, when she is a mystery to herself and friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptlv. At such a time the greatest aid to nature is Lydia Is. Finkham's Vegetable Compound. It prepares the young system for the coming change, and is the surest reliance in this hour of trial. The following letters from Miss Good are practical proof of Mrs. Pinkhanrs efficient advice to young women, — - Miss-OoudasksMrov Pinkham for Holrx June 12tb, 1890. "DXAR MBS.

In some grottoes in Algeria French explorers have recently discovered stone implements mingled with the remains of extinct animals belonging to Quaternary times. Further explorations indicate that during the age when grottoes were inhabited the coast of Algeria had a configuration different from that of today. Among the animals associated with the ancient human inhabitants of Algeria were the rhinoceros, the hippopotamus, and various species of ruminants. "The Bright Side of Humanity." n new book by Dr. Edward Leigh Pell, is said to b}3 the first serious attempt that has ever been made to present tho characteristic noble traits of all races. In the preparation of his book Dr. Pell examined one thousand works of travel and although all of them sst forth-, with considerable detail the vices and disagreeable traits of the people which they profess to describe, cuiy two hundred dwelt at any length on their virtues. To supply the compensatory high lights in these dark pictures was a happy thought and must have been a pleasant task. a Little has been said, and probably as . little thought, of the beneficent work done by the railroads in aiding and promoting the measures set on foot for the relief of stricken Galveston. Thousands of refugees from that city received free transportation to any part of the country, and immense quantities of supplies were rushed forward without charge". This ready re-. sponse to the cry of human needs characterized all the great railway systems of the country, the express^ telegraph, and telephone companias. The cash value of the services thue rendered is as impossible to estimate as tho amount of human suffering and misery they helped to alleviate. One of the most peculiar suit3 at law ever brought before any court is soon to toe tried in Van Buren county, Michigan, between two neighbors and old friends. One of the men, H. D.

(Copyright* W00, Louis Klopech. N. T.) In this discourse Dr. Talmage follows Joshua on his triumphal march and speaks encouraging words to all who .are engaged. In the battle J?£_tSJi.. life; text, Joshua 1, 5, "There ahalfnot any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life." Moses was dead. A beautiful tradition says the Lord kissed him and in that act drew forth the soul of the dying lawgiver. He had been buried, only one'person at the funeral, the same one who kissed him. But Ood never takes a man away from any place of usefulness until he has some one ready to replace him. The Lord does not go looking around amid a great variety of candidates i o find some one especially fitted for the vacated position. He makes a man for that place. Moses has passed off the stage, and. Joshua, the hero, puts his foot on the platform of history so solidly that all the ages echo with the tread. He wa3 a magnificent fighter, but he always fought on the right side, and he never fought unless God told him to fight. He got his military equipment from God, who gave him the promise at ths start, "There shall not any man be able to-stand before thee-all the days of thy life." God fulfilled this promise, although Joshua's first battle was with the spring freshet, the next with a stone wall, the next leading on a regiment of whipped cowards and the next battling against darkness, wheeling the sun and the moon into hi3 battalion, and the last against the king of terrors, death—five groat victories. No Goinjr Backward. As the hand of the Lord God is taken away from the thus uplifted waters— waters perhaps unlifted half a mile—they rush down, and some of the unbelieving Israelites say: "Alas, alas, what a misfortune! Why could not those waters have staid parted? Because perhaps we may want to go back. O Lord, we are engaged in a risky business. Those Canaanites may eat us up. How if we want to go back? Would it not have been a more complete miracle if the Lord had parted the waters to let us come through and kept them...parted to let us go back if we are defeated?" My friends, God makes no provision for a Christian retreat. He clears the path all the way to Canaan. To go back is to die. The same gatekeepers that swung back the amethystine and crystalline gate of the Jordan to let Israel pass through now swung shut the amethystine and crystalline gate of the Jordan to keep the Israelites from going back. Victory ahead, but water 30 feet deep behind, surging to death and darkness and woe. But you say, "Why did not these Canaanite3, when they had such a splendid chance. standing ou the top of the bank 30 or 40 f;et high, completely demolish those poor Israelites down in the river?" I will tell you why. God had made a promise, and ho was going to keep it. "There shall not any man be able to stanJ before thee all the days of thy life." But this is no place for the host to Etop. Jcshua gives the command, "Forward, march!" In the distance there is a long groyo of trees, and at the end of the grove Is a city. It is a city with arbors, a city with walls seeming to reach to the heavens, to buttress the very sky. It is the great metropolis that commando the mountain pass. It is Jericho. That city was afterward captured by Pompey and ones by Herod th« Great and once again by the Mohammedans, but this campaign the Lord plans. There shall be no swords, no sbirkX no battering ram. There shall be only one weapon of war and that a rain's horn. Tho horn of the slain ram was sometimes taken, and holes were punctured in it, and then the musician would put the instrument to his lips, and he would run his fingers ovev this rudemusical instrument and r.'rilte. a great deal of sweet harmony for the people. That was the only kind of weapon. Seven priests were to take t'c33 ruda, rustic musical instruments, and they were to go around the city eveTy day for six days—one a day for six days— and then one the seventh day they were to go around blowing these rude musical instruments seven times, ami then at the close of the seventh blowing of the ram's horns on the seventh day the peroration of the whole scene was to be a shout, at which those great walls should tumble from capstone to base. Victory poHom rfefoat. The seren priests with the rude musical Instruments pass all around the city wall* on the first day and score a failure. No so much «*'< a piece of plaster broke loose from the wall, not so much as a loosened rock, not *0* much t* ^ piece or mortar log? from far place.- "There* cay the unbelieving Israelites, "did I not tell you »0? Why, those ululate* are foaU, The idea of going around the city with those musical Instrument* and expect* log in that way to deatroy i t Joshua/ has been spoil*! ' He thinks because he has overthrown and conquered the spring freshet he can overthrow the stone wall. Why, it is not philosophic. Do you s o t see there is no relation between the blowing of these musical instruments and the knocking down of the wall? It is not philosophic." And I suppose there were many wiseacres who stood with their brows knitted and with the forefinger of the right hand to the forefinger of the left hand arguing It all out and showing that it was not possible that such a cause could produce such an effect And I suppose that night in tho encampment there was plenty of caricature, and if Joshua had been nominated for any high military position he would not have received many votes. Joshua's stock waB down. The second day the priests blowing the musical instruments go around the city and again a failure. The third day and a failure, tho fourth day and a failure, fifth day and a failure, sixth day and a failure. The seventh day comes, the climacteric day. Joshua is up early in the morning and examines the troops, whiles all about, looks at the city wall. The priests start to make the circuit of the city. They go all around ono, all around twice, threa times, four times, five times, six timo3, seven time3, and a failure. There is only one more thing to do, and that Is to utter a great shout. I see the IsraeHtish - army straightening themselves up, filling their lungs for a vociferation such as never was heard before and never heard after. Joshua feels that the hour has come, and he cries out to his host, "Shout, for the Lord hath given you the city." All together the troops shout: "Down, Jericho! Down Jericho!" And the long line of solid masonry begins to quiver and to move and to rock. Stand from under! She falls! Crash go the wal s and temples, the towers, the palace3, the air blackened with tho dust. The huzza of the victorious Israelites and the groan of the conquered Canaanltss commingle, and Joshua, standing there in the debris of the walls/ hears a voice saying, "There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life." , Tim Savior'* Deliverance. Only one house spared. Who live3 there? Some great king? Ko. Some woman distinguished for great kindly deeds? No» She had been conspicuous for her crimes. It is the house of Rahab. Why was her house spared? Because she had been a great sinner? No, but because she repented, demonstrating to all the ages that there is mercy for the chief of sinners. The red cord of divine injunction reaching from her window to the groundrsso that when the people eaw the red cord they knew it was the divine indication that they should not disturb the premises, making us think of the divine cord cf a Savior's deliverance, the red cord of a Savior's kindness, the red curd of a Savior's mercy, .the red cord of our rescue. Mercy for the chief of sinners. Put your trust in that God, and no damage shall befall you. When our world shall be moro terribly surrounded than was Jericho, ! even by the trumpets of the judgment day and the hills and the mountains, the metal bones and ribs of nature shall break, they who have had Rahab's faith shall have Rahab's d3liverance. When wrapped in Arc the realms of ether glow And heaven's last thunder shakes the earth below Thou, undismayed, shalt o'er t-e ruin? smile And light thy torch at nature's fur.*- ral pile. But Joshua's troops may not halt here. The command is, "Forward, march!" There is tne city of Ai. It must be taken. How shall it be taken? A scouting party comes back and says: Joshua, we can do that without you. It is going to be a very easy job. You must stay here while we go and capture it." They march with a small regiment in front- of that city. The men of Ai look at them and give one yell, and the Israelites run like reindeer. The northern troops at Bull Run did not make such rapid time as theso Israelites with the Canaanites after them. They never cut such a sorry figure as when they were on the retreat. You who go out in the battles of God with only half a force Instead of your taking the men of Ai the men of Ai will take you. Look at the church of God on the retreat. The Borneslan cannibals ate up Munson, the missionary. "Fall back!" said a great many Christian people, "Fall back, O church of God! Borneo will nevor be taker.. Do you not see the Borneslan cannibals have ca!en up Munson, tho missionary?" Tyndall delivers his lecture at the University of Glasgow, and a great many good people aay: "Fall back, O church of Gcd! Do you not see that Christian philosophy is going to be overcome by worldly philosophy? Fall back?" Oeo!o# pl.nccs lis crowbar lztD the mo-ia- >?'•' <• S * tains, and there tre a great m&ay po> pis who say:, "Scientific Investigation is going to over throw the Mosaic as* c«unt of the creation. Fall bsclt!" 0«a*« CoMiws MWt Adr»o«e» But friends of Go4 never hays bad any.right to fall back. Joshua falls on hie face in oaajritt. It Is the only .time you ever see the back of Ms hesti; He falls on his face and begins to whine, and he says, "O Lord Cod, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan to deliver us into the hands of the Amorttes, to destroy us? Would to Ood we had been content and dwelt, on the other side of Jordan. Far the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of It and shall environ us round and cut off our name from the earth." I am very glad Joshua said that Be.'ore It seemed as if he were a supernatural being and therefore could not be an example to us, but I find he is a man, he is only a man. Just as sometimes you find a man under severe opposition or in a bod state of physical health, or worn out with overwork, lying down and sighing about being defeated. I am encouraged when I hear this cry of Joshua as he lies in the dust God comes and rouses him. How does he rouse him? By complimentary apostrophe? No. He says, "Get thee up. Wherefore llcst thou upon thy face?" Joshua rises, and, I warrant you, with a mortified look. But his old courage comes back. The fact was that was not his.battle. If he had been in It he would have gone on to victory. Ho gathers his troops around him and says: "Now, let us go up and capture the city of Ai. Let us" go up right away?' They inafrtr on. He puts the majority of the troops behind a ledge of rocks In the" night, and then he ssnds comparatively small regiments up in front of the city. The men of Ai come out with a shout. Th3 small regiments of Israelites in stratagem fall back, and fall >back, and when all the men of Ai have left the city and are in pursuit of these scattered, or seemingly scattered, regiments, Jcshua stands on a rock—I see his locks flying in the wind as he points his spear toward the doomed city, and that is the signal. The men rush out from behind the rocks and take the city, and it is put to the torch, and then these Israelites in the elty march down, and the flying Israelites return, and between these two waves of Israelitish prowess the men of AI are destroyed, and the Israelites gain the victory; and while I see the curling smoke of that destroyed city on the sky, and while I hear the huzza of the Israelites and the groan of the Canaanites, Joshua hears something loader than it all, ringing and echoing through his soul, "There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life." No Place to Stop. But this is no place for tho host of Joshua to stop. "Forward, march!" cries Joshua to the troops. There i3 the city of Gibeon. It has put itself under the protection of Joshua. They send word: "There are five kings after us. They are going to destroy us. Send troops quick. Send us help right away." Joshua has a three day's march, more thari double o.uick. On the morning of the third day he is before the enemy. There are two long lines of battle. Tho battle opens with great slaughter, but the Canaanites soon discover something. They say: "That is Joshua. That is the man who conquered the spring freshet and knocked down the stone walls of Jericho and destroyed the city of Ai. There is no uso fighting." They sound a retreat, and as they begin to retreat Joshua and his host spring upon them like a panther, pursuing them over the rocks, while the catapults of the sky pour a volley of hailstones into the valley, and all the artillery of the heavens, with bullets of iron, pound the Canaanites against tho ledge3 of Bethhoron. "Oh," says Joshua, "this is surely a victory!" "But do you not see the sun is going down? Those Amorites are going to get away after all, and then they will come up eome ether time and bother us. arid perhaps destroy us. See, the sun Is going down. Oh. for a longer ,day than has ever been seen in this'climate!" Look out when a good man makes the Lord his ally. Joshua n*-'se3 hie face, radiant with prayer, and looks at the descending sun oyer Gibeon and at the faint crescent of the moon, for you know the cueen of the night sometimes will linger around the .palaces of the day. Pointing one hand at the descending sun and tho other at the faint crescent of tho moon, in the name of that God who shaped the worlds and moves tho worlds he cries: "Sun, stand thou still upon Gibson, and thou, mocn, in the valley of AJalon!" They halted. Whether it was by refraction of the sun's rays or by the stopping of the whole planetary system I do not know and do not care. I leave It to the Christian Scientists a'nd the Infidel scientists to settle that question, while I tell you I have seen the same thing. "What?" say you. "Not the sun standing still?" YOJ. The same miracle Is performed nowadays. The wicked do not live out ha'f, their day, and their gua nU at noon.

The Nov. meeting of1 the Anderson Farmers Club met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Greiner. It opened with the singing of America after which Miss Blanche Martin saug a solo. We then listened to an excellent paper by Mr. Wm. iSayles, entitled Stable character Versus Fleeting Policy. F e showed explicity that strength of character is a neccesity and it has been advised by man at all times regardless of creed or nationalities. He said it was lack of christian character that failed to accomplish the would be good work of civilizing China. Also that citizens in working for the interest of their country should apply the same principles of right and wrong as when dealing with their next neighbor. Abraham Lincoln was sited as a model. We then listened to recitation by Miss Pacia Hinchey a vocal solo by Miss Nellie Gardner and last but not least an instrumental solo by Miss Elenor Brogan. _ Mr. and Mrs. Jas._ Marble were chosen as delegates to represent our club at the Stnte convention held in Lansimg in December. Various other committees were appointed to look after the interests at home, Wm. Sayles was appointed by Pres. to draw up Resolutions in memory of Mr. Nathanial J. Durkee lately deceased.

RESOLVED :—that it is the acknowledgement of this club that if there were no hope beyond the grave that the departure of our dear friend and brother, Nathanial J. Durkee, would cast a blighting gloom upon the life of every member of this happy circle, but when we read and believe the procious promises to those whose lives are devoted to the uplifting of their fellow men, we realize that our brother has simply been transfered from this world of trials and disappointment to a life of infinite eternal joy. To the bereaved family we extend our sincere sympathy and ask them to find comfort, as we have done tn these eternal truths. - W. H. SAYLES. Vondervottelmlttlss. . Yet. as It lies some distance from any of the main roads, being in a somewhat out of the way situation, there are perhaps very few of my readers who have ever paid It a visit. The alte at the village la lh a. perfectly circular valley, about a quarter 3f a mile In circumference, and entirely surrouudinl by gentle hills, over whose suuiu:ic the people have never yet ventured to pass. For this they assign the very good reason that they do not believe there is anything at all on the other side. Round the skirts of the vaUey (which Is quite level and paved throughout with flat tiles) extends a continuous row of 60 little houses. These, hating their hacks on the hills, must look of course to the center of the plain, which is just GO yards from the front door of each dwelling. Every house has a small garden before it. with a circular path, a sundial and 24 cabbages. The buildings themselves are so precisely alike that one can in no manner be distinguished from the other. Owing to the vast antiquity, the style of architecture Is somewhat odd, but it is not for that reason the less strikingly picturesque. They are fashioned of hard burned little bricks, red, with black ends, so that the walls look like a chessboard upon a great scale. The gables are turned to the front, and there are cornices, as big as all the rest of the house, over the eaves and over the main doors. The windows are narrpw and deep, with very tiny panes and a great deal of sash. On the roof is a vast quantity of tiles with-long, cnrly__eara.

I cannot speak to highly of it" This remedy always wins the good opinion, if not praise, of those frho use it. The quicic cures which it effects even in the most severe cases make it a favorite everywhere^ For sale by F. A. Sigler, Pinckney. D. A. Gould, of Pontiac, has a funeral "coming" as the result of an election bet with an undertaker, but isn't anxious to have the terms of the bargain carried out at present. throughout is of a dark hue, and there Is much carving about it, with but a trifling variety of patterns, for time out of mind the carvers of Vondervotteimlttiss have never been able to carve more than two objects—a timepiece and a cabbage. But these they do exceedingly well and intersperse them with singular ingenuity wherever they find room for the chisel. The dwellings are as much alike inside as out, and the furniture is all upon one plan. The floors are of square tiles, the chalra^ind tables of black looking wood, with thin, crooked legs and puppy feet The mantelpieces are wide and high and have not only timepieces and cabbages sculptured over the front but a real timepiece, which makes a prodigious ticking, on the top, in the middle, with a flowerpot containing a cabbage standing on each extremity by way of outrider. Between each cabbage and the timepiece, again, is a little china man having a large stomach with a great round hole In it, through which is seen the dial plate of a watch. The fireplaces- are large and deep, with fierce, crooked looking fire dogs. There is constantly a rousing fire and a huge pot over it full of sauerkraut and pork, to which the good woman of the house Is always busy in attending. She Is a little fat lady, with blue eyes and a red face, and wears a huge cap like a sugar loaf ornamented with purple and VAUAW ribbons.

The boys themselves are. all three of them. In the garden attending the pig. They are each two feet in height. They have three cornered cocked bats, pur* pie waistcoats reaching down to their thighs, buckakln knee breeches, red woolen stockings, heavy shoes with big •liver buckles and long surtoot coats with large buttons of mother ot pearl Each, too. has a pipe in his mouth, and a little dumpy watch In his right hand. He takes a puff and a look and then a look and a puff. The pig— which-4s-«orptnent and lazy—is occupied now in picking up the stray leaves that fall from the cabbages, and now in giving a kick behind at the gilt repeater, which the urchins have also tied to his tail, in order to make him look as handsome as the cat. Right at the front door, In a high backed leather bottomed armchair, with crookedness and puppy feet like the tables. Is seated the old man of the house himself. He is an exceedingly puffy little old genttemanr with big circular eyes and a huge double chin. His dress resembles that of the boys— and I need say nothing further about it All the difference is, that his pipe is somewhat bigger than theirs, and he can make a greater smoke. Like them, he has a watch, but he carries his watch in his pocket. To say the truth, he has something of more importance than a watch to attend to—and what that is I shall presently explain. He sits with Ms right leg upon his left knee, wears a grave countenance and always keeps one of his eyes, at least resolutely bent upon a certain remarkable object in the center of the plain. This object is situated in the steeple o*~tfae~iK>use~ oTtEe town council. The town council are all very, little, round, oily, intelligent men, with big saucer eyes and fat double chins, and have their coats much longer and their shoe buckles much bigger than the ordinary inhabitants of Vondervotteimlttlss. Since my sojourn in the borough, they have had several special meetings, and have adopted these three important resolutions: "That it is wrong to alter the good old course of things. "That there Is nothing tolerable out of Vondervotteimlttlss, and "That we will stick by our clocks and our cabbages." Above the session room of the coun> cil is the steeple, and in the steeple Is the belfry, where exists and has existed time out of mind, the pride and wonder of the village—the great clock of the borough of Vondervotteimlttlss. And this is the object to which the eyes of the old gentlemen are turned who sit in the leather bottomed armchairs. The great clock has seven faces, one In each of the seven sides of the steeple, so that it can be readily seen from all quarters. Its faces are large and white and its hands heavy and black. There is a belfryman, whose sole duty Is to attend to it. But this duty is the most perfect of sinecures, for the clock of Vondervotteimlttlss was never yet known to have anything the matter with, it. Until lately the bare supposltion of such a thing was considered heretical. From the remotest period of antiquity to which the archives have reference the hours have been regularly struck by the big bell. And indeed the case was just the same with all the other clocks and watches in the borough. Never was such a place for keeping the true time. When the large clapper thought proper to say "12 o'clock!" all its obedient followers opened their throats simultaneously and responded like a very echo. I D short, the good burghers were fond of their sauerkraut but then they were proud of their clocks. All people who hold sinecure offices are held in more or less respect and, as the belfryman of Vondervotteimlttlss has the most perfect of sinecures, he is the most perfectly respected of any man in the world. He is the chief dignitary of the borough, and the very pigs look up to him with a sentiment of reverence. His coattall Is very far longer, his pipe,,his shoe buckles, his eyes and his stomach are,very far bigger, than tiio*e of any other old gentleman in the village. And as to his chin, it is not only double, but triple. I have thus painted the happy estate of Vondervotteimlttlss. Alas, that to fair a picture should ever experience a reverse! There has been long a saying among the wisest inhabitants that "no good can come from over the hills." And it really seemed that the words had In them something of the spirit of prophecy.

Corbin argues that the ar my*canteen reduces the number of court martials and results in better discipline. But the reports of Major John A. Hall, judge vocate of military department of Phil -ippmesj-tells—a different, story. The report covers the period up to the close of the fiscal year June 30, 1899, an actual period of ten and one-half months. During this period, there was an average number of 21,078 enlisted men .n the command, yet during this time there were 12,481 causes of court martial of various sorts. Of these 11,902 were summary court martials, representing 7,090 differ* ent men. On this official showing a full third of all the soldiers who were sent to the Philippines were arrested and tried for crime or misdemeaner before the first eleven mouths of the American occupation were completed; an average of 38 court martials a day. Besides this, the report shows 137 deserations from the American ranks during the same period. Besides these military courts, there where three police courts attending the cases of vagrants, drunks, gamblers, fighting; and scarcely a days record appears in which during the period from two to twenty American soldiers were not in the dock charged with There it a clever raacal giving eaat of Mason wfcti haa sir c^rignal way of p*oewri»r W» grfloeriea.. fiTe has selected a spot on Bicbells road which runa southeast from Mason, where it leada up a long sandy hill, on one side of which ia quite a dent^foresi Here ho waite on a dark night for the farmers jogging homeward, after Jgrading m Mason, and as their rig plod slowly up tholiTrfirsliir^p to the rear end of the buggy and helps himself to the various pack* agea of sugar, tea, tobacoo and other articles.

Let lis on this day be thankful for the abundant yield of our orchards and fields, for the freedom from pestilence and famine. Let as remember the ready response whlcU has come from sympathetic hearts, touched by the calamities of our fellow citizens, the generous contribution (0 those whoso homes have been destroyed by tempest and flood, and tho development of humanity in the invention or methods which alleviate the suffering*, attendant upon war. Let us as we unite in our services of thanksgiving and praise, remember with gratitude the growing sense of justice among all classes of men, and the establishment of higher ideals of 8ociallife. While we remember these blessings with thankfulness, let one gratitude inspire us to utilize our high powers of citizenship that we may be more worthy of the place wo now hold .among civilized nations of the world. Given under my hand and the great seal of -the state of Michigan, at the capitol, in Lansing, this r5th day of November, in tho year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred, and of the in- - dependence of the United States the one hundred and twenty-fifth.

There were 2,817 d e a t h s reported to t h e secretary of state as occurring%in October, the d e a t h rate b e i n g 13.8 per 1,000 of population. Thr total l e s s t h a n t h e number returned for "September. T h e r e were 623 d e a t h s of i n f a n t s under o n e y e a r old; 331 of children from o n e t o four years of age, a n d 633 of p e r s o n s a g e d G3 y e a r s a n d over. I m p o r t a n t causas of d e a t h s were a s f o l l o w s : P n l m o n a r y consumption, usuaL In many oases rye was sown Instead. AU wheat sown before the last days of September is full of fly. Many fields that look green end are well covered with a thrifty growth of plants, are literally alive with the larva of the insect. Some nelds of wheat have been cultivated and rcsown tc wheat, while others have been .down to ryo. Some farmers will sow clover in the spring, and let the crop mature if possible. Wheat sown* in October 1s in a measure free from insects. In some cases early sown rye is fun of Insects, and wheat sown later in adjoining fields is net infested. Methods like this nHtot-necessarily be adopted if the work cf this insect is to be controlled so that the wheat crop of this state will not bo damaged yearly. The total amount of bushels of wheat reported marketed by farmers in October at the flouring mills is 229,079, and at the elevators 160,600, or a total of 3$6,*7t> bushels. The estimated averase yield of corn in bushels is, in the state, 33: in the southern counties, JS: in tho central counties, 23, and in the northern counties, 28, Conditions in the southern purt of the stato have been very favorable for corn, in fuct tho crop will Be one of the largest ever harvested in this state, and the quality is exceptionally good. The area planted last spring was larger than usual, so that the total amount harvested will be large for this state. The acreage of cloverseed harvested as compared with average years is, in per cent, in the state 70. in the southern counties 83, and in the northern counties 82. Tho average yield per acre in bushels is, in the state 1.46, in the southern counties 1.83, in tho state 1.4t>, in tho southern 132. in the central counties 1.8J and in the northern oountics 1.92. The same conditions which enabled farmers to grow a large corn crop made a large potato crop possible. In some cases the crop was injured by blight; in some parts of the state it was cut short by drought in August, while in some lowlands it was damaged by too much rain. The estimated avcruge yield per acre In the state, in bushel*, is 08, in the southern , counties 95, in the central counties 1C0, and in is 500 I the northern counties 110. The use of commercial fertilizers in this state is not general. In the eastern part of the state they are used quite extensively on certain crops. Many farmers are making careful experiments along this line, preferring to demonstrate for themselves the effect these? fertilizers have on different soils of the farm. Much work of this kind should be done in order that each farmer might know in what way his soil was deficient and what fertilizer was the best to apply. in QffJfr NSW8 PABAQHAPH9.

But inwardly she rejoiced that the- woman she had felt was her superior had not always lived above-reproach. The knowledge prom* Ueda certain hold upon her, and in iter manner toward Gladys when next rrl7 they jaet^here was * hint of power and a measure of (contempt the latter found it hard to bear. , Harvey's demeanor, too, had altered. Star days .he looked pale and grave. Although perfectly respectable to his mother he-spoke to her as seldom as possible, addressing most of his remarks, when vthe little family met at table, to -his^wife. Gladys sympathized with his mood, and waited patiently for it to pasg. She knew how galled hie proud spirit must be; still, as the monotonous days crawled by, bringing no change, she began to feel very lonely. She would have consoled herself with the baby had she been allowed to do so, but Helen had her own ideas, wise ones, all of them, on the subject of child rearing. It made an infant precocious, she said, to notice them too much; his Intellect should be allowed to develop gradually. As for the Inane nonsense called baby talk, no child of hers should listen to It. Good English was just as simple and far more sensible. And Gladys, who would have cooed the sweet mother jargon by the hour, all the world forgetting save the smiling mite in her arms, knew that a reproof was intended, and accepting it, loft Harvey's baby to Harvey's wife. Had she been a strong-minded woman she would have have risen above her trials and found happiness in her own occupations; but she was .only a gentle, clinging creature to whom love was as the breath of life. That gone, nothing remained. She wondered sometimes how Harvey, even though displeased, could neglect her BO. In the past they had been everything to each other. Now he seldom gave her a thought; his wife was his all in all. Helen's coldness did not hurt her; she was not of her blood, and she had no claim on her affection; but she had given~her life to Harvey, and his indifference was hard to bear. One cold, rainy day Phebe found her crying in her private parlor, which wa3 divided, from her sleeping and dressing rooms .by a wide hall. The curtains were drawn and the spacious apartment usually so pretty in Its tints of crimson and blue seemed co^d and gloomy. CHAPTER IV. The housekeeper said not a word, hut went to the window and threw hack the curtains, then touched a match .to the wood laid ready in the grate. The flames leaped forth as if $ia$l to escape from their resinous prison, making glittering reflections in the polished tiles and filling every corner with,a.rosy glow. Phebe roiled her mistress' .favorite chair to the hearth. "Come .and sit here, Miss Gladys, while J get.you a cup of coffee. It will warm you up. The room is like a w r i t " Gladys .crushed back a sob and meekly did as she was bidden. She always obeyed Phebe. She drank the coffee when ittwas .brought#and looked apologetically Into .the housekeeper's kind if grim face. "I miss ijouise Leonard *© much!" she said. "I know all About i t Miss Gladys. That reason will do as well AS any other. T#hen are you going to have Mr. Walter Barr and his young wife hero Jo dinner? They've been married thre^ months .now.*" "I suppose I ought to invite them soon," said Gladys, brightening * little. "But Mrs. Harvey st\ objects to company—-j* "And is the house to he kept, like a tomb to please her? She has her husband and baby', and yon have nobody, U seems.

"I think you are right, Shebe/* she presently said with an air of decision. "I will do as you say." : . , - . - . She' dressed herself with unusual care for dinner. She was resolved to B^lfry-ftpy iftfa? food humor. He had just taken his place at the table when she entered, a charming vision in pale pink and white, and he smiled involuntarily. "Why, how lovely we are this evening! " he exclaimed. Helen darted at him a disapproving look; but the pleasant words had escaped, and Gladys was responding to them In kind as she took her place at his right She had long ago given Helen the head of the table. She coveted it, and Harvey was pleased to see her there, and she herself cared nothing for petty dfstinctions. The conversation moved on pleasantly, if a trifle haltingly, and presently Gladys ahhounced her intention of i n - viting Mr. and Mrs. Barr and one or two other friends to dinner. "I had thought of next Tuesday, Harvey, if you and Helen are disengaged for that evening," she said. "We are, as far as I know," he answered, glancing at his wife. Helen did not respond. She was displeased that Mrs. Atherton should contemplate entertafning company at all, and doubly so that she had addressed her question to Harvey instead of to herself, and went on eating her dinner in her usual deliberate way. She had a fine appetite, and took excellent care of her digestion, a3 a wise young woman should.^ "Then we'll say Tuesday evening," said Gladys, all unconscious of what was passing in Helen's mind, and mistaking her silence for acquiescence, she regarded the matter as settled. it was not until the very day of the dinner that she discovered her error. By this time she and Harvey were on their old terms again, the coolness between them apparently forgotten. Helen's manner never relaxed; she had her own grievances and resented them in her own way. • Gladys, however, gave no evidence that she observed anything amiss. "I am sure you will like Mrs. Barr, Helen/' she said at breakfast on Tuesday, hoping to draw the younger woman into conversation, tor her persistent lack of interest in any talk in which she was not directly included was Irksome. "She Is a girl after your own style—an excellent daughter, now a capable wife. I hope you will become friends." "Thank you," said Helen, in wintry tones. "I am not a believer in married women's friendships. My husband and my child suffice for me. A woman's home should.be..her kingdom." She g l f l P q ^ P» Hnrvpy frm th» n p - aud although he could not see exactly | where Gladys had erred, he was .soon convinced that his wife had bees trail* *B*dy insulted, and was grievously hurt in eonsejQuence, J$p«hio# could have been further from the truth tthan either conviction; but Easing Into tedaettve eyes, tear drenched, pressing warm, red lips covering with •obey few- men are wise enough to discriminate between the chastening dews of sorrow and the bitter waters of spite or 'envy." . . " . . - Gladys' dinner was a success. She felt Helen's Absence to be a, relief. It seemed pleasant to have the house to hjsrself again, -and to sit. at the head of her own table. 8he threw off her sadness and "became the charming, frivolous Gladys every one petted and loved. Her guests lingered late. Long after Harvey and Helen had retired •the sound of their voices rang through the house, and Helen complained next day at breakfast that baby was fretful and unwell, having been robbed of his sleep the night previous. Mrs. Atherton made no answer to this plaint. She had discovered that Harvey'8 geniality had vanished, and his manner toward her was cold. She divined the reason for the change, and while resenting his Injustice was hurt by it. She could retain his favor only by submitting to his wife's caprices, it seemed: 'Her long years of devotion counted for nothing; all was forgotten when this woman, between kisses, accused her of some petty meanne33 ot which she was incapable. How dared he listen to charges so unjust? Before the meal was half over she proving; smile with which he always applauded her borrowed phrases, as though every word were a nugget of wisdom fresh from the mine, and added a trifle less deliberately: "I dislike strangers, aud care nothing for social pleasures, so I can not truthfully say I am sorry I shall not meet Mrs. Barr this evening." "What do you mean, Nell? Have you forgotten she is to come here to dinner?" "No; but you and I are to dine at father's. I promised him ten days ago." Helen spoke calmly, though her color flickered as she encountered Harvey's astonished stare. Gladys, too, looked surprised. "My dear girl," Harvey burst out "why in the world did you not tell the mater so when she was making arrangements for her dinner?" "Because she did not consult me. She addressed you, and took it for granted I had no engagements. I never offer unsolicited information.'* Gladys saw an ominous look in Harvey's eyes, and rose hastily. She had no desire to witness a matrimonial squabble. "It is not of the least consequence, Harvey. I should like Helen to meet Mrs. Barr, who has a great deal of social Influence, but there will be plenty of opportunities for her to do so in the future, as 1 intend to open the house to my friends again. I have been living too quietly of late." She looked .full at Helen, and there was a touch of defiance in the manner of both. "Do not giv^,this little misunderstanding a thought I shall not; for it isn't worth it" She had left the room before the last word was uttered, and ran lightly down the pktxsa steps to the garden. "What a woman!" she thought "What a hard, narrow, revengeful, sullen woman! Poor Harvey! I hope he may continue .blind to the end. It is his osiy chance for happiness. She aeed not have been concerned , tor Harvey. Already Helen, her arms about his sjfick, her voice broken with emotion, woe making her cause good; rose from the table with a sudden hot anger that dismayed her, for she had never felt anything like it before. She realized that she should end by hating Helen and despising Harvey; a material love that, crushes out all purer affections degrades a man; not even the sacrament of marriage can render it holy. • She rode further than usual that day, and was overtaken by one of the violent thunder storms peculiar to the season. She came home drenched and shivering with cold. Phebe, who was waiting for her on .a side veranda with a thick shawl, almost carried her to her room, and without ceremony undressed and put her to bed. "We shall have you down with a fever next," she grumbled. "You were about ready for it before." Gladys, strangely inert, languidly opened her eyes. '"if I am 111, Phebe, and I fear I am going to be, no one must wait on me but you. I may be delirious and talk. Keep Harvey out of the room at all hazards. Poor boy! If he should learn the truth " "It would put him just where he deserves to he put" said Phebe, her smouldering anger against the married couple kindled into a flame by Gladys' condition. "But don't fret, dearie; I'll do as you say. Shall I give* the keys to Mrs. Karvey?" she added, feeling that her mistress was very ill already. "Yes; it will keep her out of your way," said Gladys with a faint smile. Then her ^eyes~ciosed agahr-and-shesank into a troubled sleep." Next morning she was tossing with fever,' and for three months knew nothing of what was going on around her. One bright October day she opened her eyes and looked searchingly into Phebe's face. The faithful woman, wearied by her long vigils, was nodding in her chair by the bedside. "Why;Phebe, how thin you are!" sho exclaimed in a weak voice. Phebe started up with a stifled cry. "Oh, my lamb, my lamb, thank God you've come back to us again!" she said, tears streaming from her eyes. "Why, haw long have I been here?" Gladys asked. "Fourteen weeks." •"Fourteen weeks!" She lay thinking the wonderful fact over, then turned to Phebe with her own merry smile. "And haveU't you given me anything to eat in all that time,'you Cruel woman?

' In a recent letter from 6900 Michigan avenue, Chicago, 111., Mr. Moody says the following; "For over twenty-five years I suffered from catarrh, and tor over ten years I suffered from catarrh of the stomach terribly, « I bare taken all kinds of medicines and have bean treated by all kinds of doctors, as thousands of my acquaintances are aware In different parts of the United States, where I have traveled, but the relief was only temporary, until a little over a year ago I started to take Peruna, and at the present time I am better than I have been for twenty years* « The soreness has left my stomach entirely and I am tree from Indigestion and dyspepsia and will say to all who are troubled with catarrh or stomach trouble ot any kind, don't put it off and suffer, but begin to take Peruna right away, and keep it up until you are cured, as you surely will be If you persevere." "My wife, as many in the southwest can say, was troubled with a bad cough and bronchial trouble, and doctors all over the country gave her up to die, as they could do nothing more for her. She began taking Peruna with the result that she is better now than she has been in years, and her cough has almost left her entirely. The soreness has left her lungs and she i3 as well as she ever was in her life, with thanks, as she says, to Peruna. Yours very truly, T. P. Moody? Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly becoming a general curse. An undoubted remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Prominent men have come to know of its virtues, and are making public utterances on the subject. To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease. The disease that is at once the most prevalent and stubborn of cure is catarrh. if one were to make a list of the different names that have been applied to catarrh in different locations and organs, the result would be as- •*»HP' * • -'A it ?2 •t *y • • ( - • \ ' - * . / ! • : * • • ' • , • .

By the time that ft wanted only three minutes to coon the droll object In question was perceived to be a very diminutive, foreign looking young man. He descended the hills at a great rate, so that everybody had soon a good look at him. He was really the most finicky little personage that had ever been seen In Vondeivottoimittlss. His countenance was of a dark snuff color, and he h«d a long hooked nose, pea eyes, a wide mouth n;id an excellent set-of-teethv—ivh-teH latter-iie-SFoulotT anxious of displaying, as he was grinning from oar to ear. What with mustachios and whiskers, there was none of the rest of his face to be seen. His head was uncovered and his hair neatly doire up in papillotes. His dress was a tight fitting swallow tailed black ront. from one of whose pockets dan gled a vast length of white handkerchief: black kerseymere knee breeches, black stockings and stumpy looking pumps, with huge bunches of black satin ribbon for bows. Under one arm he carried a huge chapeau-de-bras and under, the other a fiddle nearly five times as big as himself. In his left hand was a gold snuffbox, from which, as he capered down the hill, cutting all manner of fantastical steps, he took snuff Incessantly with an air of the f greatest possible self satisfaction. God bless me! Here was a sight for the honesf burghers of Vondervotteimit* tiss! To speak plainly, the fellow had, in spite of his grinning, an audacious and sinister kind of face, and as be curvetted right into the village the old itumpy appearance of his pumps ex cited no Ottle suspicion, and many a burgher who beheld him that day[ would have given a trifle for a peep beneath the white cambric handkerchief which hung so obtrusively from the pocket of his swallow tailed coat. Bui what mainly occasioned a righteous indignation was that the scoundrelly pop lnjay, while he cut a fandango here and a whirligig there, did not seem to have the remotest idea in the world oi such a thing ^ s keeping time in his steps. The good people of the borough had scarcely a chance, however, to get their eyes thoroughly open, when, just as it wanted half a minute of noon, the rascal bounced, as I say, right into the midst of them; gave a chassez here, and a balancez there, and then, after a pirouette and a pas-de-zephyr, pigeon winged himself right np Into the belfry of the house of the town council, where the wonder stricken beifryman sat smoking In a state of dignity and dismay. But the little chap seized him at once bj the nose, gave it "a swing and a pull, clapped the big chapeau-de-bras upon hi* head, knock*. ed It down over his eyes and month. | and then, ltfttout w> the big fiddle. no at urn w.:a itso toug and so *ountt ly that what with the, beifryman beJ log so fat -and the fiddle being so hollow, you wouM have sworn that thees waa a regiment of double basa drummers all beating the devil's tattoo up in the belfry of the steeple of Vonder* vottelmlttias. There is no knowing to what desperate act of vengeance his unprincipled attack might have aroused the inhabitants but'for the Important fact that it now wanted. only half a second of noon. The bell was about to strike, and it was a matter of absolute and] *f*->**---«- [,••.' i intTtll^mimifmtfimKft^m^tmmmfmlffm pre-eminent necessity that everybody should look well at his watch. I t was evident, however, that just at this moment the fellow in the steeple was doing something that he bad no business to do with the clock. But, as it now began to strike, nobody had any time to attend to his maneuvers* for i they had all to count the strokes of the bell as it sounded. "One!" said the clock. "Von!" echoed every little old gentleman in every leather bottomed armchair in Vondervotteimittiss^ "Von!" said his watch also; "Von!" said%the watch of his vrow, and "Von!" said the watche's of the boys and the little repeaters on the taUa of-the cat and Pig. "Two!" continued the big bell, and "Doo!" repeated all the repeaters. "Three! Four! Five! Sis! Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten!" said the bell. "Dree! Vour! Flbe! Sax! Seben! Alght! Nein! Den!" answered the others. "Eleven!"' said the big one.? "Eleben!" assented the little fellow. "Twelve!" said the bell. "Dvelf!" they replied, perfectly satisfled and dropping their voices. "Und dvelf it iss!" said all the little old gentlemen, putting up their watches. But the big bell had not done with them yet. "Thirteen!" said he. "Der teufel!" gasped the little gentlemen, turning pale, dropping their pipes and putting down all their right legs from over their left knees. "Der teufel!" groaned they. "Dirteen! Dtrteen! Mein Gott it is dirteen o'clock!" Why attempt to describe the terrible scene which ensued? All Vondervotteimittiss flew at once into a lamentable state of uproar. "Vot is cum'd to mein pelly?" roared all the boys. "I've been ongry for dis hour!" "Vot is cum'd to mein kraut?" screamed all the vrows. "It has been done to rags for dis hour!" "Vot is cum'd to mein pipe?" swore all the little old gentlemen. "Donder and blitzen! It has been smoked out for dis hour!" And they filled them up again in a great rage and, sinking back in their armchairs, puffed away so fast and so fiercely that the whole valley was Immediately filled with impenetrable smoke. Meantime the cabbages all turned very red in the face, and It seemed as if old Nick himself had taken possession of everything In the shape of a tlmepjheceV_The "clocks carved upon the" furniture took to dancing, as if bewitched, while those upon the mantelpieces could scarcely contain themselves for fury and kept such a continual striking of 13 and such a frisking and wriggling of their pendulums as was really horrible to see. But. worse than all, neither the cats nor the pigs could put up any longer with the behavior of the little repeaters tied to their tails and resented it by scampering all over the place, scratching and poking and squeaking and screeching and caterwauling and squalling and flying into the faces and running under the petticoats of the people, and creating altogether the most abominable din and confusion which It is possible for a reasonable person to conceive. And to make matters still more distressing tn* rascafly nme soap* grace in the steeple was evidently ozy ertttitf himself to the utmost Every now and then one might catch 4 glimpse of the scoundrel through tha smoke. There he sat 10 the. belfry upon the beifryman. who waa lying flat upon bit back. In his teeth the villaia held the beUrope, which he kept Jerk* Ing about with his bead, raiding tuck a clatter thai, my ears ring again era* to think of it, On bis lap lay ihe big fiddle, at which he* was scraping ovt of all time and tune with both bands.

Let us proceed in a body to the borough and restore the ancient order of things In Vondervotteimittiss by ejecting that little fellow from the steeple. Tike Murder of Sleep. . Speaking on the problem of city noises, especially those which make night hideous, the Westminster Review says: "When preventable noises invade the hours of sleep, the matter becomes serious, for in this busy, bar* asslng life sound rest at night is an essential to the maintenance of the working powers. "One of the most alarming concomitants of modern civilization Is the increasing prevalence of lunacy aud other nervous diseases. The cause i* doubtless to be found in the hurried, anxious lives that we lead, in the intensity of our studies, the fierce difficulties of life with most of us. How many breadwinners, whether professional men, business men, artisan* or factory girls, return to their homes day after day utterljr exhausted by their continuous labors! To such unv disturbed sleep is'the best of all. tonics, but this is often difficult to obtain, and its deficiency means Impaired health oi even complete breakdown. The contrast between the health and develop ment of the agricultural laborer and that of the average industrial operative is due not alone to the out of door life and healthy occupation of the former, but in no small degree to early hours of retiring and quiet nights." Selling a Wife. We often laugh at the credulity of French people who believe that the English still "sell their wives at Smitfill," but it is certain from the evidence of the police courts and other sources that some of the most ignorant of oui fellow countrymen, in common with the equivalent inhabitants of other nations, do occasionally transfer their legal spouses to other men for a consideration received in the belief that they are observing all the necessary formalities.
