The railroads have been greatly abused as soulless corporations that were grinding the life blood out of the people. The great Galveston disaster has, however, revealed the fact that the managers of these corporations have hearts which are susceptible of being touched by the cries of distress. Their trains were placed at the disposal of all those engaged in relief work on the coast. Provisions and supplies were carried forward free of charge, committees from every section of the state were furnished transportation, and when the refugees from Galveston began to pour into Houston and it became a serious question what was to be done with them the railroads solved the problem by furnishing transportation without charge to all who wished to leave and. to any pojnt they wished' to go. Grand Master Anderson informs us that but for this fact Houston would have been overrun with people who had to be cared for, and that suffering and distress would have been largely increased as well as the cost of meeting conditions which would have prevailed. Bro. Anderson desires us, through these columns, to thank the different roads for the great service rendered his committee at Houston. If it were possible we would be glad to see parallel columns, in one of which should appear the acts of these railroad corporations in a time of great calamity and distress, and in the other the amount contributed by thelittle two-by-four demagogues who are always trying to array the prejudices of the masses against any and every kind of enterprlse.-^FYom the Texas Odd Fellow. =5T SEES 'A R«nisdy for tbe Grippe.

It Is. expected ;that a large proportion of these will jvlsit the Pan-American Exposition at some time during its progress. Many iwill visit it five, ten, or twenty or more ; times. Niagara Falls will prove a J great magnet in drawing visitors to the Exposition. Altogether it is fair to •expect that the attendance at this first (Exposition of all the Americas will be •the largest in the history of Exposit i o n s in either the New World or the ;0ld. Ten; million dollars represents approximately the cost of the Exposition, 'exclusive of exhibits. The authorized [capital stock of the Exposition is $2,- <500,u00. The authorized bond issue is l$2,500.000. The-government appropriation is $500,000. The cost of the Midway Is $3,000,000. The New York state •appropriation is $300,000, and in connection with the New York building .about $100,000 will be expended by the .City of Buffalo and the Buffalo Historic a l Society. The appropriation from states and foreign countries together with the cost of buildings to be erected on the Exposition grounds >by the City of SuffaiO and hy private citizens will Two thousand incandescent lamps will be used in the illumination of one feature of the Midway alone—the Thompson Aerio-Cycle. As many and perhaps more will be used in illuminating the Streets of Mexico, Other Midway structures will also be profusely illuminated and the lights thua used are all additional to the 300,000 required for the illumination about the courts of the Exposition. Thirty-five thousand gallons of water per minute will be required for the fountain display of the Exposition, .which will be the most elaborate of any ever undertaken for a similar purpose. Fifty feet will be the height of some of the jets in the Court of Fountains. The jets will be electrically illuminated at night. Seventy feet is the height of the cascade falling from the front of the Electric Tower into the basin below. Five hundred and sixty-five by two hundred and twenty-five are the dimensions of the basin of the'Court of Fountains,-which equals 98,872 square feet. . Five thousand horse power of electricity will be delivered in Buffalo from tors of Pan-America, and will cost about half a million dollars, oelng the grandest collection of decorative Exposition sculpture ever assembled. Two hundred thousand hardy perennials have been planted for the purpose of beautifying the grounds next summer, and the great floral display will include over 500 beds of popular flowers, with rare tropical plants and aquatic plants in the Courts, Mirror Lakes, Grand Canal and Lagoons. Fifteen thousand dollars Is the cost of the great organ for the Temple of Music being built by Emmons Howard. Six thousand animals are to be accommodated in buildings for live stock displays. Twelve thousand is the seating capacity in the Stadium, the great arena for athletic sports.

One million, three hundred and ninety thousand square feet Is the approximate aroa of the courts to be illuminated.

An expert cowboy hunts dogs as he does cattle. He ropes them the same way. Clad in a pair of buckskin trousers, and wearing a big sombrero, with rope In hand or on the saddle born, and a six-shooter in MB belt, h e starts down the street on his broncho looking for dogs. As he spies one which has BO legal right to roam at large he sticks the spurs to his pony, grabs his rope and begins operations. He usually ropes the dog around the neck, draws him to the pony's side And shoots him. He then stuffs the carcass into a sack attached to the saddle and gallops off after more "game." If a stranger is watching the performance the dog catcher does some fancy roping. He will rope the dog around Che front foot or hind foot, or around the body between the feet. He hardly ever mlttes his mark. . Dog AatehlDg la the Indian country' is more ticklish business than it is in the citit-s in the states. The catcher not onhy has to dodge flatirons. mop sticks, and brooms thrown by irate women (for a wild-looking cowboy with a six-shooter has no terror to an Indian Territory woman), but he has Indians to deal with. An Indian, thinks almost as much of his dog as he does of his kids, and if the dog catcher by mistake kills it there is trouble. Dogs belonging to Indians are exempt from taxation. But the Indiana must brand them. The dogs of non-citizens are the ones discriminated against, if their masters fail to pay tax on them then they most pay the penalty of death. In order to evade the tax occasionally a non-citizes forges a brand and marks his.dog as if it belonged to an Indian. In order t o prevent frauds of this character the dog catcher must be an expert on dog brands. ing by colonnades are two other buildings each 150 feet square.

An anecdote in some reminiscences of Mrs. Anne "Jean Lyman, a prominent New England woman and a contemporary of Mrs. Lydia Maria Child, records what may be considered a standing epitaph for fancy work. When Mrs. Lyman was Miss Robbing, and a very charming young lady, she went j £o visit *ome friends of his in Hingham. A young mas, calling on the ladies one day. found them busy embroidering mourning pieces in which tall women in short waists and long skirts stood weeping by a monument They begged for a motto for their pieces, and instantly got this bit ci wit: In useless labors all their hours are spent. They murder Time, then work his monument. La Grippe is epidemic catarrh.—It spares no class or nationality. The cultured and the ignorant, the aristocrat and the pauper. The masses and the classes are alike subject to la grippe. None are exempt—all are liable. Have you the grip? Or, rather, has the grip got you? Grip is well named. The original Freach term, la grippe, has been shortened by the busy American to read "grip." Without intendi ing to do so a new word has been * coined that exactly describes the case. As if some hideous giant with awful GRIP had clutched us in its fatal clasp. Men, women, children^ whole towns and cities are caught in the baneful grip of a terrible monster. Pe-ro-na For Grip.

The prevalence of sprains and strains owing to the Indulgence In athletic exercises of all kinds moves an au thority on the treatment of these pain ful accidents to say: A little eorumou sense t r e a t m e n t if often all that is needed when the strain is at ankle or wrist aud without com plications. It will swell very alarmingly at first and gradually develop a frightful looking bruise, but from tin first it should have complete rest and a treatment of hot and cold douches, the hot being used at first, when the swelling is painful, and the cold latei on, as a sort of touic to the relaxed muscles. The hot must be very hot and the cold very cold, as the tepid Water does harm rather than good. For the first day of a strain, whec all the wrenched cartilages and muscles are aching, great relief is found in a poultice of egg and salt. To m a k e It, beat the white of an egg till light, bul not stiff. Stir in gradually a cup and a half of salt, or more if needed, tc make a thick, pastelike Icing. Spread this on a cloth and bandage in place. Cover all with oil silk or a thick bath towel to protect the sheets, since the egg leaks out continually. After this h a s relieved the soreness begin witfc hot water fomentations and w e a r a light, firm bandage, except at night.

The President on the 25th trans^ mitted to the senate a report of the secretary of war, inclosing the report Of the Taft Philippine commission. In his message of transmittal the President says that the report includes not only the reports of the commission, but its act of legislation, and he earnestly recommends legislation under which the government of the islands may have authority to assist in their peaceful industrial development in the directions indicated by the secretary of war. % The latest about the ¢00,000,000river and harbor bill is that the senate will nbTstrilce duTahy oFtEe items aggre^ gat ing over §7,000,000 for improvements in Michigan waters, nor the items for improvements elsewhere, but will scale down a 'good many of them. Mark Hauna is one of the senators who says the appropriation ought to be reduced one-half, and he lives in the same town as the chairman of the house committee that compiled the «60,000,000 bill. After an eventful legislative experience beginning with the present session of congress, and covering about two months, the bill for the reorganization of the U, S, army passed its last stage in congress on Jan. 31, and now goes to the President for his signature. The final step was taken in the senate where, by a vote of 33 to 24, the conference report on the bill, was agreed to. The house of representatives has already agreed to the report. A big petition signed by 5.000 firms and • individuals engaged in various kinds of work, plumbing, ventilating, etc., throughout the United States, was presented to the house on the 26th. protesting against the letting of general contracts for interior work on the public buildings. The petitioners desire direct contracts made for each class of work. The President on the 28th sent to the senate the following nominations: Maj. E. V. Andruss, 4th artillery, to be lieutenant - colonel; Capt Frank Thorp, -5th artillexy, to be major; First Lieut John F. McMahon, 4th artiller3% to be captain; Second Lieut Fox Conner, 2d artillery, to be first lieutenant. The house committee on invalid pensions on the 1st defeated a motion to report the bill for a pension court of appeals, a measure favored by the G. A. R. The finance committee of the senate has prepared a statement showing that the proposed internal revenue tax on bucket shops would bring 810,000,000 a year. It is now quite evidVt that President McKinley will call a special session of congress to enact needed legislation for the Philippines and Cuba. The house on the 28th passed a bill to revise and codify the postal laws. 300 Killed and Wounded. The military authorities has been advUed of another engagement which took place between the Mexican government troops and a large force of Maya Indians.

Pool* ol Whiting, Waiting, Ind., Feb. 4, 1901.-(Special.)— The Presidents of, the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic have a n association composed exclusively of the Presidents of the different State Associations. This Presidents' Association chooses a President, and to this very high and distinguished position Mrs. Mary E. Ppole of this place has been elected. Mrs. Poole is thoroughly deserving of this great honor. Her devotion to the interests of the Association is very marked, and her experience with the old soldiers of the G. A. R. is wide. Mrs. Poole is never slow to take advantage of anything that may benefit the veterans, and her zeal has resulted in much that Is good to these grand old men. She writes of her experiences: "Honor to whom honor is due, and having seen the numerous cures effected through the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills, I gladly endorse them as being particularly effective to cure that dreaded disease of so many of our old soldiers, Bright's Disease and Kidney Disorders of different kinds. Kidney Disease soon poisons the entire system, and as a result the vital organs are attacked, and I have found that no remedy so surely, completely and quickly finds the weak spot and heals it as Dodd's Kidney- Pills. "I have used them myself in slight attacks of biliousness and indigestion, and usually find that from three to four pills do the work." Such evidence from a lady of so much distinction and experience should convince." any sufferer from Kidney Trouble that Dodd's Kidney Pills is the remedy that never fails. 50c a box, six boxes for ¢2.50.

The husband does not axpect his wife t<\ build the kraal, or hut That is his work. It takes from tive hundred to a thousand young trees t o make the beehive- kind of dwelling which is in favor and which is excellently adapted for protection. -When the husband has erected the but it is the wife's place to cut grass, carry it home, and -thatch the kraal once a year. She looks after all that is needed in the hut, cooks the food, gets the firewood, and makes the beer, which is not a small task, for the men drinfc it in immense quantities. It is made from millet and mealies, and is mild but intoxicating. Until quite recently everything was carried on the head. A Zulu woman will carry 200 pounds of mealies in this fashion. When a Kaffir was first seen carrying *a load by the hand Instead of on his head, the Dutch thought it a dangerous Imitation of European fashion. Women have so far^asserted themselves as to refuse to hoe the mealies for planting, but they will weed. A woman goes about'with her baby tied on her back, •vhlle she rocks herself and croons to t. When a man dies his widow may, f she chooses, become the wife of his mother. She stays at the kraal, and ill the children, including those of the lew marriage, are held to balong to ..;."\er eldest son, who takes his lather's lace as guardian, and has the privilge of using, supposedly for the common good, all the wages of the younger sons. It thus sometimes happens that a little boy' is head over his mother and older sisters. If the widow does not choose to marry the brother, but takes another husband, she loses all control of her children, who stay In their father's kraal.—Youth's Companion. -Notoriuun Rubber I* Dead.

I t was a very happy evening that Beryl spent at Uplands. Mrs. Dyae- VOK!S> heart went out to' the pretty, graceful girl, who seemed so strangely alone in the world; Kitty had taken v A fancy to her; and when Harold came In for tea the three were aa much at home as though they had known each •other for months. "You must let me take you home," Harold said to the little governess, TVhen she came downstairs about eight ,with her hat on. "Oh, I could not trouble you, Mr. rDynevor, it is so far! And I am not at all afraid." "Harold loves, an evening tramp, and tit Is much too far for you to go alone," tsaid Kitty. "Mind you come again :soon. Mother wants you to, don't you mother?" "Yes," put in Mrs. Dynevor. "I shall ibe very pleased to see Miss Lendon whenver she has time to come." When they were walking down the 'broad, shady lane which led from Upl a n d s W EasthiTl village Harold asked isimply. "Do you know you have made a conquest of my mother, Miss Len- >don? I never saw her so much taken •with a stranger." "She was rery, very kind to me. Oh, "Mr. Dynevor, when I saw her and Kitty together I could not help wishing I had a mother." The voice was so sad it touched his "heart "I wish you vrcrald confide your troubles to my mother, Miss Lendon," he said gently, "she would know how to comfort you. The advertisement of- Terihg^lbe rewara_lraB~-notbeen r e - peated for some weeks now, and I had hoped you would feel happier." To his surprise and alarm, he_heard her sob. They were quite alone in a little frequented lane. He longed to comfort her, only he could think of no words. "Miss London," he said, very gently, "like you, I have known troublesone presses on ^he now whose weight seems to crush me to the earth. Human friends can do very little to soothe an aching heart; but there is One above who knows all His children's griefs, and sorrows for them. He will comfort you better than any earthly friend." "I know," she said, simply yet reverently. "Mr. Dynevor, I had better tell you the truth. I can trust you not to betray rae"td my father.-aiid I caiinot bear to come to Uplands and take kindness from you all iwhen, if you knew my story, you would shrink from me in loathing." An awful fear crossed Harold's heart. What could she mean? Only a little while ago, at the fete, she had assured him she was not -fleeing from justice, and he had retorted no one could take her for a criminal. What did her present words mean? "Whatever you tell me I will keep as a sacred trust," he answered. "But, indeed, Miss Lendon. you are mistaken ;"nofhmg you can say will make me shrink from you." "But I am the child of the two who 'wronged you cruelly. I am your -enemy's daughter—Beryl Lindon„" He started involuntarily. Really the movement was simply surprise, but •she thought it was due to aversion. "I never meant to deceive you or any one," she went on. her voice growing a little firmer as she proceeded. "I ran away from home because my father wrote that he had married again, and his new wife was to have full authority over me. Mr. Dynevor, that woman had lived in the house for nine months, openly as my maid, really as my tyrant. Last January, while my father was away, she—she struck me. I appealed to the housekeeper, who •dismissed her. Do you think I could have stayed to see that woman in my mothers' place?" "No one could have wished it," he answered quickly—"no one who loved you.'* "I took Mrs. Tanner's situation be • •cause it was the only one I -could get and the time was all too short. I had only three weeks from getting my father's letter to the day he brought his *wife home. "When I came to Easthill I had never heard of Dynevor Manor. I had not,the least idea my father possessed property here, or I should* have been afraid to come. ' "Mrs, Tanner told me the first night I came to her that the Wilmots, who were her chief supporters here, objected to my name. She said they urged it was a slight to their employer, Mr. Llndon, that a poor little governess should be called by his name. When I found that this Mr. Lindon lived in Blchester square, and his name waa Eustace, I "Knew it waa my lather, and I was omly too thankful to afreet© the proposal that I should •change one letter of my name, anf be M Mat Leadon. • ••* "When later I heard 'my father's story from Mrs. Grey, and the/cruel wrong he had wrought you and yours, I felt overwhelmed . with shame. Though your sister had urged me to ga and see her, I felt I dared not accept her invitation. I should never have come to the Uplands only she fetched me, and all through my visit I felt as though I were deceiving you all, that if you knew the truth your doors wouiu be closed against me/' Harold took the girl's hand in his and held it close under cover of the darkness. "Do you know what flr3t made my mother take an interest in you? Your likeness to her sister-in-law, Nina Lindon. You must remember she and your mother were close friends for over three years. My father on his death bed told me he believed firmly that my Aunt Nina had never meant to wrong us. He thought either the will had been extorted« from her by undue Influence, or " "Or what?" asked Beryl eagerly. "Oh that she was too lit tcrunderstand its real purport. I suppose you do not remember her? No, you could not; she died before you were four years old." "I do remember her," said Beryl, in a very low voice, "You see, she was the only creature who loved me, so I was not likely to forget. She was very ill, and very unhappy; but, Mr. Dynevor, I can't believe she did what people think. She was too gentle." "It was not a happy marriage," said Harold Dynevor, in a low tone; "from the little we know we always gathered that. My-father -wondered- sometime if she lost heart after your sister's death." "I don't know." Beryl felt bewildered. "You see, I only remember her after." "Do you mean you were away when Lillian died?" "I think I must^ha.ve-heenr'Lshe said,- in a puzzled tone. "I can remember a little cottage, and a Frenchwoman who took care of me. One day a letter came, and she dressed me up in my best, and took me a long railway journey, and then I saw my mother. She was in black, and she cried when she kissed me, and said she would never part with me again while she lived. My bonne went home, and after that I had an English nurse." "And you are Beryl Lindon?" —"Yes.—Will you tell your—mother ly investors. Don't you thf«fc General Craven tvculd consider the speculation?" "He can't His daughter is to be married in the autumn, and he'll want all the ready money he can find." The general, indeed, when sounded on tite subject, took what teemed to Mr. Proctor a very hard view. "You know, Proctor/' the old soldier declared,. "I've no liking for Eustace Lindon, and I'd not mind thwarting him; but X think for any one to enable the Dynevors to remain at'Uplands would be to do them a cruel kindness. It is openly reported Lindon is coming into residence when we leave. It will be far and away better for Mrs. Dynevor and her children not to live, so to say, at his gates. I think it is a blessing in disguise that they will have to goJ" \ "And I don't!" said' tfce lawyer stoutly. "Think of the years the place has been in Mrs. Dynevor's family! Think how hard her son has worked to keep it up! If he leaves Uplands^ Harold goes out into the world penniless." "He'd be sure to get a good berth as land-agent to a nobleman." "Such posts are not so easily picked up. I think you take a very unsympathetic view of the matter, General." "Bother it all," said the old soldier Irritably, "I suppose I had better tell you the truth! I like the Dynevors, -they're the"pleasantest neighbors 1 ever had, I think Harold's a son to be proud of; but, Proctor, I've got only one boy, and I haven't much money to leave him. Alick will have to make his way with very little except his pay. Can't you see I don't want him to marry Kitty Dynevor, a nice girl and a good one, but without a penny to her fortune?" Beryl saw a good deal of the Dynevors in August. Woodlands broke up for the holidays, Mrs. Tanner and the twins went to spend a fortnight near their old home, and Kitty came over with her mother's I >. and Kitty? I am sure they won't betray me." "I am sure of that, too; but I do not mean to tall them. I do nq,t see that what you have confided to me need go any further. If you are the child of our enemy, at least he has treated you no better than he has treated us. I am positive if my mother knew the truth she would only feel more kindly towards you. Come to us when you can; you will always be welcome." They were at Woodlands, and, with a close pressure of the hand, he released her. He found his mother aloue when he got home again. She had been searching among old treasures, and had unearthed an album containing photos of bygone days. It was open at the picture of Mrs. Frank Dynevor as she was when she came home a bride. "I wanted to show it to you, Harold," said his mother, "Just to prove the resem^ance is not all my fancy." He looked at it thoughtfully. "It is a very strong likeness," he said gravely; "but I hope it won't prejudice you and Kitty against that poor little girl. I think if ever a human creature stood in sore need of friends it is Mrs. Tanner's governess." CHAPTER X. Five thousand pounds. The sum seemed to burn itself into Harold Dynevor's brain as the summer ripened. He did not actually know that Mr. Lindon meant to foreclose, but he could not doubt Mr. Proctor's warning. He felt that if five tnousand pounds were not forthcoming before the 25th of December his mother must leave her lifelong home, and he himself go forth into the world a ruined man. He had more than one long conference with the lawyer about raising the money. Mr. Praetor thought a private lender would be the only source whence he could obtain it. He said that at a forced sale the Uplands would fetch very little in excess of the actual sum needed; but he thought any one who knew the property might be Inclined to offer six thousand for it, on the understanding it was to be redeemed. The one thousand could bo paid back at once, the other five remain at Interest. "Only so very few people have cap*. ttal to dlipow oV' he concluded. nand those few seem to AcM clear of land. I am aaklag ineulries a«e»g all likeorders to bring back Beryl for the time of their absence. "You are to be sure to come unless you hav« arUetter engagement." "I have no engagement, and I couldn't ha«re a better one; only shall I not be in your way?" —^We-^want- you, and we mean to have you!" retbrlecT K t t t y z r ^ I t o M i Harold about it, and he said it was a famous idea. I think you fascinated him that night when he saw you looking so forlorn at the railway station, for you are the first visitor we have had to stay in the house for years." ~ Mrs. Dynevor's welcome was almost motherly in its goodness, but if was Harold's greeting which went straight to Beryl's heart.' She happened to be -qinnn fn th9 p^u- parlor when he Came in-, and as he took her hand he said gravely: "Hemember, no one here knows your secret—no one ever will know it from me; .but If they learn it from another source they will be content, as I do, to remember you are Aunt Nina's child, and forget you are Mr. Lindon's daughter." Beryl had been at Uplands just three days when EaBthill was thrown into a commotion. Mr. Lindon, the great man of the neighborhood, had arrived and was putting up at his agent's house while he transacted Tbme business connected with his property. "Will he have the effrontery to call here?" Mrs. Dynevor asked her ton. "I should say not. If he does, sand Kitty in to inierviov? him. She is capable of freezing him if she tries." "I wonder if he has'brought his wife and daughter?" hazarded Mrs. Dynevor. "No." retorted Kitty, who always knew everything. "His,wife is not well, and his daughter is at sc&ool. Perhaps she prefers it to her stepmother's society, but she is the same age as I am, und I should certainly resent being kept at letters." "Poor little thb.g!" said Mrs. Dynevor gently. "I wonder if she is like her mother? What is her name? Did we ever hear?" "It was never mentioned in Aunt Nina's letters," returned Harold. "She always spoke of the children as 'Pet* and 'Baby;' not that she wrote often, poor thing!" Beryl was in the room, and naturally heard these remarks. She almost forgot herself, and contradicted his last words, for she knew that Lillian had never been called "Pet." It was her own name in babyhood, and had not been given up till she went to the Burgesses, wher., by her father's wish, she was always called Beryl. No, Lillian could not have been "Pet." Try as ahe would, the girl could not recall any fond abbreviation of her sister's name. When she was brought home after Lillian's death no one ever spoke of the dead child except her mother, and she always said "your little sister." Mr. Lindon took no notice of Beryl at all. Her mother's maid had returned to England. as she had lately heard, to take service with the family a t Upland*. Lillian's nurse had also left thfr Lindons, but of her movements Beryl knew nothing. • --, (Te be continued.) - " I am so nervous and wretched." "1 feel as if I ihoold fly."

There are many traditions and stotles of escapades at the Military academy at West Point that are handed down from class to class, and one of the most interesting of these is thatfrelating to the billiard table. Shortly after the civil war the cadets, always on the alert for some new scheme for amusement, decided that they would like to have a billiard table and accordingly organized a_ billiard club. A collection was taken up with which to purchase a table, aud a suitable place was sought In which to set it up. Until the present steam heating apparatus was installed in the cadet barracks, about 30 years or more ago, the heating was by means of furnaces. The basement of the sixth division of the barracks was used for coal bins, the bins being so arranged that there was a large one near the center of the building, which could only be reached by passing through one of the others. After_conskiering all available places this coal bin was finally selecfeO as~1)elng the place least-liable to det eet iony for it must be remembered the table was unauthorized. The table was bought in New York and sent to Garrisons, across the river, for there was no West Shore railroad In those days. One cold wiuter night it was hauled by a team of oxen across the river on the ice and up the hill and was safely stowed away in the coal bin before morning. The table was soon set up and became a source of great enjoyment to the cadets. A keg of beer was alwaj's kept on tap, and lamps were hung from the celling, giving the room a cheery appearance. The members of the club used to gather there at all hours of the day and night, when their presence was not. re-' quired elsewhere by their duties, and sit around smoking, drinking and telling stories while two of them played billiards. The authorities soon became aware that there was a billiard table somewhere in the barracks, for they could hear the balls clicking together, but they could not find it. The cadets continued to enjoy the privileges of the billiard club for more than a year. Finally one night soon after midnight, as two officers were returning from a convivial evening at the mess, they saw two cadets, clad in their underclothing and dressing gowns, emerge" from the north sallyport and F e b 13th.

CABBAGES AND TURNIPS. Trenching; K e e p s Them In Good Condition Until Sprlns. Burying cabbages and turnips in the ground for winter keeping seems to be the simplest plan yet devised, and if the work is done properly a very small percentage will be lost There Is always the question of uncertain winters to consider, aud this makes the work sometimes more difficult. In fact, if we could gauge beforehand the kind of winter we were to have there would be no trouble in deciding what to do. A cold, dry winter would be welcomed by farmers who make a specialty of these crops, for the turnips and cabbages would keep all right piled up and covered—with—a—41ttle earth. It is the alternate freezing and thawing, the rain and the snows, that provoke trouble. Cabbages not buried deep in the ground would soon rot in a warm, wet season. The best way is the surest way and. as- is- generally—the ease, the most laborious, according to a writer in Country Gentleman, who advises as follows: weather comes agaiu. By using a top mulch in this way one can regulate the temperature of the vegetables very well. When dug out in the spring, the cabbages will be in excellent condition, and they will sell for good priees. When spring opens, the ground should be shaded over the trench and a top mulch put on to keep the frost in, the ground. In this way the vegetables can be kept very late. But as soon as the ground begins to thaw, the cabbages should be dug up and sent to market. Decay will set in very sooi after they have thawed out, and it is useless to attempt to keep them much longer then. In digging up the cabbages in the middle of winter care should be exercised to disturb the others as little as possible.

Instantly the thought of the billiard table flashed through the minds of the two officers, and they started quietly after the cadets. On reaching the basement doorway of the sixth division the two cadets entered, and the officers, arriving a moment later, saw them climb over a pile of coal and enter an open door, through which came sounds of laughter and conversation aud the clicking of balls, while the air was laden with fragrant tobacco smoke. The officers paused for a moment and held a whispered consultation. Finally deciding that they would tell the other officers of their discovery and have all of them come down the following night and enjoy the fun of a raid on the club, they withdrew and went home. Next day all the officers at the post were informed of the discovery, and it was arranged that the raid should occur at midnight. All might have gone well, and the officers might have had their little fun, had it not been that there were three cadets the previous night instead of two. The third had forgotten his pipe and bad gone back for it, while the other two went on and were discovere r , and M r s . E d d C r a n n a of i *d by the officers.

These figureB apparently show that there has been a migration of people from the farms because of the lock of profit to farming.

The county broke all records last season and the name of the Berrien peach is world wide. During the year 1900 Berrien county grew over one-half the Michigan crop of peaches. The number of acres cultivated was 4,753 and the total yield was 140,992 bushels. Frederick Haueer, aged 70, was found; frosen to death tn his yard ^ear Boyal Oak on the 6th.

In 1,1848 a company of publicv v8pirited Bostenlans determined that the Stevens collection of George Washington's books, largely composed of books be- O u B f l f v u V T H 8 S r a s w n 7 should not go to the British Museum, and subscribed enough to secure this part of the ML Vernon library to their city and library. For this reason, Boston can boast of the largest collection of Washington's books gathered in any one place. In the fine explanatory catalogue, which was made possible, by the gener- -eus bequest of f 1,000 from Mr. Thomas Dowse, the entire collection is classified as follows by Mr. Lane: 1 to 239—Books mentioned in the Inventory of Washington's estate, with a few volumes not in inventory, but givof history arid collectors of Washingtonia. It is not sought by the busy man of the street. Ofthe varied and interesting character of the volumes in Washington's library It is difficult to speak In limited space, and opinions differ as to what constitutes interest and value. The bibliomaniac, used to the interminable aud argumentative titles, the italicised and long-sd type aud the quaint diction, will seem quite iconoclastic,doubtless, to the young student, who is just discovering the wealth of information at first hand which lies in these self- , eagre volumes. As political economist, planter, wool grower, agriculturist and fruit grower, the first president of the United States has never been duly presented to the reading public. The introduction of mules Instead of horses in the south for Agricultural work was largely due to Washington's efforts, ably supplemented by the King of Spain. The redemption of peat bogs was studied experimentally. Consequently, many of these books relate to practical subjects of this sort.

His autograph is written twice upon the title page. The names of Robert Wickoff, and Samuel Bowman appear as owners of the book at various times.

But the books are great In Interest, and reveal the many sided Washington unfalteringly and unflinchingly to the gaze of future generations. Every mother and father will think of the great and stalwart Washington with a new tenderness for the little scrawls his childish hands traced on convenient material, mainly on the title pages of his father's books. Tradition does not state whether he ownad up to their defacement as bravely as he did to the cutting down of the cherry tree. But the series of signatures there, one written when he was surely under sine years of age, and the others written when he was IS and 1? years or age, appeal with singular tenacity to the mind,.as do even the lovetarn ditties of bis later boyhood when ht extolled the charms of 'the lowland beauty" in versa.

"Short Discourses upon the Whole Common Prayer," by Thomas Comber, the dean of Durham, was selected by the 13-year-old Washington, upon which to write his own and his mother's name. Against the former his nephew, George C. Washington, has written: "The above is General Washington's autograph written at 13 years of age," and under the latter he writes: "The above name of his mother Is-fn the handwriting of Washington at 13 years of age, as will be seen by comparison with his writings of that date in Spark's work."

He came before the appointed officers for examination. As it was an aristrocratio church, they didn>t like to accept him into membership, but, of course they adopted tbe tactics of their class, and asked the poor, simple applicant if he, was sure the Lord wanted him to become a member of the church. He replied the he was sure, as he had prayed over it for six months. "Well," said they, "better pray over it three months louger, and see what the Lord wants you to do." He assented, and at the end of three months he appeared again. The officers asked him if he was still of the same mind. He said "yes." They asked him if he had asked the Lord about it. He said he had. Then they asked him what the Lord said to him. The poor, simple applicant replied.

The pick is beveled like a cold chisel. The poll is round and the shape of-tbe tmse^of a cone and,one inch In diameter; the shaft round and cylindrical. Tbe poll should be ground square, or better, a little concave, leaving sharp cutting edges, and should be a little more flaring on the handle side. Witb this tool I have never found any need of anything else. Some get tile at the mills with holes cut in them, but I never do, for with a tile hammer It is less trouble to cut the holes wherever you want them. In connecting laterals most persons cut a hole or get tile with holes in them and stick the end of the connecting tile into the hole, but I never do that nor allow it to be done on work under my superviRion, The connecting tile (2 in the west, each year, repeating his thefts upon nature as he went, leaving those who came after him to bear the burden of his dishonest treatment of the soil. for the analysis and regulation of the trade in commercial fertilizers gradually creeping west. Bvery few years sees the legislature of some new state, where commercial fertilizers were only a short time before practically unknown, passing laws in regard to them because tbeir use and the necessity of It was gradually creeping in, Agriculture is conducted at a great disadvantage when tbe conditions become such that commercial fertilizers are necessary, and in the west, if western farmers will but heed the experiences of those farther east, the use of commercial fertilizers can, by proper management, be postponed Indefinitely. If a farm is rich in fertility, the fact should not relieve its owner from the necessity of keeping It so. If the farm seems to be growing poorer.

Tbe I scraper box should be four feet wide, two feet from front to rear of box, and one foot in depth. These dimensions will move almost a half yard of mud at each load, and a team will pull it eas Uy. The top and bottom of scraper should be banded with tire iron, which will make it more rigid and wear better. Any blacksmith can make the blade out of an old drag saw blade or suitable piece of fiat steel. This should be bolted and riveted to the box and band Irons of box and made quite sharp to cut well.

If made longer, they are inconvenient to handle or move about. The luniberoised should be durable, 1¼ inches thick for one side of the trough and 8 Inches wide; for tbe other, 7 inches; the same width and thickness will do for the end pieces. The trough is V shaped. To each end nail'an upright piece (A) and let it extend above the trough at least a foot. In the upper end of this upright cut a slot an iuch wide and 6 inches deep. Into this fit a six inch fencing plank (B). This will be over the center of the trough, lengthwise, and six Inches from tbe top of the trough. The partitions (P) on each side of the trough should be about nine inches apart. O n e trouble will be noted In regard to this trough.

The Chinese plenipotentiaries, Prince Chins; and Li Hung* Chang, had a protracted meeting on the 5th with the foreign, envoys. Twelve names of prominent Chinese officials were submitted with the requests that China keep faith with the powers and punish the persons named commensurately Ntith their offenses. The Chinese plenipotentiaries replied that China's earnest hope was to carry out fully the demands of the powers and that she felt sure the punishment which would be inflicted would be satisfactory. It was discovered that two out of 12 of the persons named were already dead. Patent* Granted In 1000.

The electrical illuminations of the exposition will be achieved in connection with the Electric Ttower,- the fountains and other hydraulic displays and in the outlining of the different buildings by rows of incandescent lamps. There will be combined water and electric effects and the central figure of the whole setting will, of course, be the Electric Tower* with its most wonderful and beautiful electrical display. The Electricity Building itself has most appropriately been located adjoining the Electric Tower. From its eastern end an excellent opportunity will be afforded for viewing the splendid illuminations of the tower during the night displays. The location of the building is also fortunate in view of the fact that just across the mall, the broad avenue upon the southern side of the Electricity Building, stands the Machinery and aentativt an to charaoi exhauatiye. tn detail/ Bafetaei* o * t * e Th* busy bee will be In bit bastr new at the Pan-American Exposition the coming Bummsr.

It is estimated that there are 300,000 persons engaged in'bee culture in the United States alone and that the present annual value of honey and wax is in excess of $20,600,000. There are 110 societies devoted to the study and promotion of bee keeping. Eight journals are sustained by this industry. Fifteen steam power factories, are producing supplies of various kinds for the use of bee keepers. American honey finds a market in many distant countries, *he United States producing mere honey than any other nation. The bee exhibits at the Pan-American Exposition will be so arranged that the bees may enter their hives from the exterior of the building and carry on their work of honey collection undisturbed by visitors, yet in full view through the glass sides of their hives. The successful management of an apiary requires a knowledge of botany as well as the habits and requirements of the bees themselves. The little iioney bee plays a very important part in the general economy. The failure of fruit crops may be due to the absence of bees whose special function is to fertilize the blossoms by carrying the pollen from stamens to pistil.

Dr. Samuel J. Kennedy,, dentist, of New York, convicted and who has spent a year and a half in the death house at Sing Sing for killing Dolly Reynolds, is asking for a new trial. The1 London war office has received the following from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, Feb. 9: The columns working eastward occupied Ermelo Feb. 6 with slight opposition. A large force of Boers, estimated at 7,000, under Louis Botha, retired eastward. About 800 wagons with families passed through Ermelo on the way to Amsterdam and very large quantities of stock are being driven east. A raffie is not redeemed by beit>gjrun for religion. WHAT IS OVARITIS? A dull, throbbing pain, accompanied by a sense of tenderness and heat low down in the side, with an occasional shooting pain, indicates inflammation. On examination it will be found that the region of pain shows some swelling. This Is the first stage of ovaritis, inflammation of the ovary. If the roof of your house leaks, my sister*youbave it fixed at once; why not pay the same respect to your own body ? .

After the meeting of the Colorado Academy of Science recently, at which President Regis Chauvenet or tho School of -Mines'delivered-an—address, there was an argument about snakes, says the Denver Republican. It was continued in a desultory way soon after at the state capitol by Curator Will C. Ferril of the Historical societvr and Captain Ceo)} nearer nf fhp war relic department, the men who started it at the meeting on the day previous. Curator Ferril claims that he has proved that a rattlesnake, when pursued, will retreat and go into its h o l e backward.

In the northwest corner of the Electricity Building will probably be located the 5,000 H. P. transformer plant which will transform the Niagara power polyphase current from 11,000 volts to 1,800 volts for distribution about the grounds. Smaller stepdown transformers will be used in several hundred transformer pits about the grounds and in the various buildings, where the current will be reduced from 1,800 volte to 104 volts. At this pressure lights and electric motors* and other appliances will be operated. The progress in the development and application of the various branches of electrical science and industry of recent years makes the exhibit at the Pan-American exposition of the utmost Importance and interest. At the time of the World's Fair at Chicago, electric transportation over street car lines 5 45-] of cities was in lis infancy. In ten years the electric motor in Its application to both transportation and Industry has effected well nigh an industrial revolution. In the electric lighting industry, and in the telephone system there has been great progress during this decade. Wireless telegraphy has come to the front within a few years and is destined to effect still further radical changes in methods of electric communication. Automobiles electrically propelled have come into use. In •JI these fields the Pan-American Exposition Will have electric*! exhibits illustrating this marvelous progress. There will be a collection of historical matter relating to the subject which will show the gradual development of the apparatus used. An especially interesting exhibit will toe that Illustrating the application of electricity to the propulsion of cars and vehicles like the automobile*. Moat persons are mete familiar with the successful operation lions of Cyclists and Autom obi lists of the Americas during the summer of 1901. The automobile exhibit, it is promised, will be the finest ever seen at any exposition. There will also be a large and complete display of bicycles, representing all stages of progress from the heavy and clumsy iron-tired velocipedes to the finest pn£umatic-tired modern machines; including the "good old ordinary" or high wheel bicycle fitted with small solid rubber tires which was first exhibited in this country twenty-five years ago, at Philadelphia. A grand carnival of cycle races will be held in the magnificent Stadium which is now beinjg erected on the Pan- American grounds. This vast arena will be in many respects equal the famous old Colosseum at Rome. Horticulture a t Exposition. Horticultural exhibits at the Pan- American Exposition have a beautiful setting in and about an exceedingly handsome building 220 feet square* The height of the building is 236 feet; to the top of the lantern, and the gsnago he ran across a rattlesnake which slowly went toward its hole. He followed with discretion and a gun.and when the rattler reached its home it went in, according to Mr. Ferril, tail first, so. that it could protect itself if attacked. Mr. Ferril is aware that thi3 statement is contrary to established records, but says that because it has never before been known to the world does not prove that it is not true. Ha will mention this discovery in his biennial report now being compiled. Captain Cecil A. Deane of the war relic department says that hs never $ heard of such a thing. He'claims that the theory Is ridiculous and that it is a well established fact that the rattlers go home head first. In proof of this claim he says that the way in which curio dealers secure rattlers in large numbers for sale is to follow the snakes to their holes and cut clT the r tails as they dive into the holes. Captain Deane says he has pursued this method on various occasions and never saw a rattler even attempt to go into its hole tail first. He asserts that scientific experiments have already demonstrated that a rattler cannot "back up" or "back down" and that Mr. Ferrn *« tieedlessly exciting the scientific world in bringing up a subject which has already been disposed of.

The bill to relieve the supreme court by increasing its membership from fl%e to seven, was put to sleep in the senate on the 6th, after a lively debate. Some contend that It can now only be revived through jtk motion to reconsider the vote by which it was defeated. , Senator Helme, the only Democrat in the senate^ made the motion that put the bill p u t of business, all after the enacting clause being Ordered stricken ont, and the" motion was adopted in committee of the whole on a viva voce vote of 14 t o 2, some of the senators not voting. Only 21 of the 34 senators were present. Rep. Campbell introduced a bill on the 5th providing that all abandoned lands sold by the auditor-general prior to January 1, 1903, must realize at least 60 per cent of the assessed valuation. His purpose is to prevent the sale of land for the amount of taxes _again&l~ exesdo not figure within 50 per cent of the vaJue of the land. He also has another amendment to the general tax law providing that if the owners of land deed it to the university all taxes shall be cancelled. The following bills were passed in the senate on the 0th: To change name of Leon T. Vredenburg to Leon T. Shettler; to authorize Ann Arbor to purchase the water works plant; to authorize Ann Arbor to build a new city hall; to legalize 8100,000 of Bay county bonds; to legalize certain acts of Commissioner of Deeds J. S. Dean, of Schoolcraft county; to amend the charter of the Grand Rapids schools. On motion of Rep. McCall, of Charlotte, a special committee on the 6th escorted Gov. Bliss to the chair, w h o made an appeal to the legislature for •economy, especially in legislating for rstate institutions. He declared against t h e creation of any more state boards and practically urged that bills now -pending to enlarge present boards be mot passed. Rep. Stumpenhusen. has introduced a bill in the interests of justices of the peace, giving- them a fee of 50 cents for each report made on cases where the people is a party to the action, •civil or criminal. At present the justices have to take chances with the board of supervisors to get paid for such work and he thinks that there .should be a stated fee.

It is a tact, well known to most people, that scarlet lever is unusually prevalent in most parts of the state. As a rulp it has assumed tbe lighter forms of tie disease and there have been but few deaths reported. Owing to climatic and other catfses many of the cases~arv» now assuming the mosa severe form and several deaths have been rejkirted from near points dorii the past few days. At a meeting ot the board of health held Tuesday evening^ a resolution was offered and carried, instructing the health officer to use such measures as seemed^necessary and provided by law^tfj restrict »he spread of the dts-- se. This we shall endeavor to do, and in so doing, earnestly ask the cooperation of tbe people. The disease has been so light in form that in many cases parents have not thought it even >•. i necessary to confine their children to tbe house or premises and tbu& the disease is spread. Scarlet Fever. Scarlatina, and Scarlet Rash are sy nomy mous terms and the only distinction is in point of severity. Exposure after the lighter forms is very apt to be followed by fatal sequela, a fact that seems to be little understood. , Teachers in tbe public schools are earnestly requested to report all cases of sore throat or other evidences of scarlet fever occurring among their pupils. Tbe attention of tbe public is especially directed to tbe following section of the compiled laws of Michigan: (4452) SEC. 43. Whenever any householder, hotel keeper, keeper of boarding house, or tenant, shall know, or shall be informed by a physician, or shall have reason to believe that any person in his family, hotel, boarding house, or premises, is taken sick with small pox, cholera, diphtheria, scarlet'' fever, or any other disease dangerous to the public henilh, he shall immediately give notice, in writing, thereof to the health officer of the township, city, or village in Which he resides. Said notice shall state the QRtne of the person sick, name of the disease, if known, the nameof the householder, hotel keeper, keeper of boarding house, or tenant giving the notice, and shall, by street and nnmber, or otherwise, sufficiently designate the house in which he resides or the room in which the sick person may be; and if he shall refuse or willfully neglect immediately to give such notice, he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof he shall be punished by fine of not exceedfng one hundred dollars and costs of prosecution; or in default of payment thereof, by imprisonment not exceeding ninety days in the county jail, in the discretion of the court: Provided, that such fine or imprisonment shall not be enforced if the physician in attendance has given to the With officer or other officer hereinbefore mentioned an immediate notice of said sick person and true name of the disease, in accordance with the requirements of this section.

The effort of any new»payer to build up a town is practically nullified unless it is hacked up by the business men of the town. A stranger turns from the news columns of a paper to its advertising columns, and if he fails to find there *he business cards of the jnemhanrs and professional firms,* ha oomes to the conclusion that the edi tor is not appreciated, in which case it is a good pla:e to keep clear from. No .town ever grew without the active assistance of its papers. Nor can papers grow, and build up their localities wit lion' tbe assistance of the town Businessman should realize this and remember that in lending support to their bcal paper they not only build up their own business, but are helping to support that which is steadily working for the growth the .whole town. Are Ton Among them? of This is the season of the year when the moils are filled with catalogues and-a thousand other varieties ot advertising matter, soliciting mail orders for goods ot every kind.

The legislator or senator who votes for the new fish law is preparing to be beheaded at the next election. Tbe idea that every one-who desires to fish paying a license of $1 is absurd.

Burt can sell fruit and ornamental trees any line he strikes town. . Howell is deep in a law suit with the electric light Co. of that place who claim that the election ordering bonds issued to $uy a municipal lighting plant was illegal.

I can't prove my words, because there's a missing link or two in the chain; bet I'm\a» sure as mortal can be that theft^Jwaa something wrong about Mrs. LTndon's will, and that her husband has no real claim to the Manor." Mrs. Dynevor started. She thought of the mortgage on Uplands, now held by Lindon, of her boy's troubled face and dark future. If any happy chance could discover a flaw in Eustace Lindon's title to the Manor it would be new life to her. (To be continued.)

"Sho fitted up new ones in the other win*, whtah weren't half so convenient or airy," said the General, with a smile. "So much for superstition." T*he old nurseries had a deserted air. They had not been used since N!na*Hadon's second marriage, and the big cupboards were still full of childish toys. Kitty opened the door of one and took out a large wax doll. Beryl nearly seized on it with a cry of delight. It seemed to her she had known that flaxen-haired baby as long AS she bad known anything. "Poor little Lillian!" said Kitty gently. "To think that if she had ilived she would have been twentytwo!'* "Jt. it a pretty name; but I wonder •che was 'not called after her mother." "AUnt Nina's favorite flowers were allies," explained Kitty; "but mother told me once the child was never called LHlian or Lilly. She called herself 'Pet' as soon as she could talk, and 'Pet* she remained up to the time of their going abroad." "And how old was she then?" "Just three. There were nearly four years between her and her little halfsister." A servant approached with a perplexed face and addressed the General. "Mr. Lindon wishes to see you, air." , Kitty Dynevor'B cheeks were crimson, her friend's face turned ashen pale. "I suppose I-must see him," growled the General, "and I can't be rude to him .under his own roof; but I wish, for all that he had stayed away." - The General went downstairs to receive his unwelcome visitor. Kitty Dynevor, who bad not the least desire to meet tb» man she regarded as her natural enemy, promptly declared she and Miss Lindon must be going home, and in a few inutes they were walking swiftly down the avenue. ~ But the butler had ushered Mr. Lin- 4on into the library, which commanded a full view of the carriage ^xir%.

He broke off abruptly fa tft» -Aft iintjy on the search, I have never found a trace of her. The, girl I saw in the distance today is my daughter, Beryl Lindon, and your protegee will have to dispense with her services, for of course I sliail take her home with me." "Of course," echoed Mrs. Wilmot suavely. "And if Mrs. Tanner had only known the truth she would have communicated you with before." Mr. Lindon saw his advantage. "For reasons you will understand, I do not care to seek my daughter at Uplands. Perhaps, as her employer is a protegee of yours, you can write in her name requesting Miss Lindon to return to Woodlands at once. I will meet her there, and no doubt everything can be amicably arranged. Naturally I do not want my private con cerns discussed all over Easthlli, an you and your husband will find It to your advantage to assist me." Mrs. Wilmot was only too willing; but one difficulty lay in her way— how was she to word her letter? The imperious commands she would have laid on her sister's governess could hardly be addressed to Mr. Lindon's heiress. The master of the Manor saw her hesitation.. **You need not enter into particu^, Jars," he explained. *'Jnst write that Mrs. Tanner Lindon, mind—returning to Woodlands tomorrow at 3 o'clock." He slept soundly that night, for it seemed to him' that within twentyfour hours his rebellious would feel obliged by Miss Lendon—not daughter would be safely in his hands. He little guessed the thrilling events even then taking place at Uplands, or how, after many days, his sin had found him out Very soon he would have to admit the truth of the poet's words: Though the mills of God grind slowly, Yet they grind exceeding small. $i •»»«' Oea- CHAPTER XI. While the girls were at the Manor, and Harold was out on the farm, Mrs. Dynevor had a visitor. That was nothing remarkable, for the gentle mistress of the Uplands was popular both with rich and poor. The "county" visited her as frequently as If she had been a peeress, and her humbler neighbors liked to come and tell her their joys aad sorrows, sure that if she could give little help in money her sympathy was never missing. But this particular visitor was utterly unexpected, seeing it was eight years since Mrs. Dynevor had sees her, and nearly seven since the had heard of herv ~ ^ i r you please, ma'am, Mr*. Rau^ som would like to see you. She says you may not rememoer ber married name, but she was Miss Kitty's nurse long ago." "It must be Bridget Gordon," exclaimed Mr* Dynevor, in surprise. "I heard she married very well; but what in the wor!.i can have brought her back to Easthill? Ask her in. please, Dorcas." The years had evidently passed prosperous^ to Mrs. Ransom. She looked aa. though life had gone easily with her. She was a pleasant, kindfaced wCfltan of 40, handsomely though quietly feetsed in black, She had always beat a little above her position, and, aa sEftty said, Mrs. Lindon had treated be? more as an humble companion thin a maid. Kitty did not know that Bridget had been forced to leave her aunt, sorely against her own and bar mistress* wish, and. that ahe had always disliked Eustace Lin- The Rot of Monotony, Nothing in the world charms like variety. Human nature is so constituted that it demands a different phase of affairs almost every day, and the wisest of human beings is the one who recognoizes and caters to this quality in all forms and manners. There is a certain key in the multiplex organ or humanity, however, which loves sameness', and this should be recognized in the seeker after effects of variety. Thus a man who loves change,llke all the others of his kind, will yet chafe and fret under a change which intereferes with his regular habita, and a part of the aforementioned wisdom consists in differentiating the qualities of change so that it may always be a pleasant variety and never an abrupt interruption of comfortable habits. Tne wise woman is she who is never monotonous in herself, her appearance or her household, says the Pittsburg Press. If one can reckon with certainty on the same articles in exactly the same places for a lifetime, boredom is sure to ensue. If one may count on exactly the same menu for certain days in the week ad infinitum, the stomach is apt to rebel and call for some of the spice of life, just as it occasionally demands other, though not less pungent, spices. The girl who wishes to charm and attain that most precious pf pedestals, popularity, cannot afford to scorn the necessary qualification for charm. She must know whether or not the quality is existent with her, and if not, she must cultivate It was said of Cleopatra: "Age cannot dim nor custom stale her infinite variety," and herein we have the whole secret of the Egyptian's wonderful power over human hearts. Now, the truth which underlies all this is a truth, and a worthy one, not built, as most advices of the kind are built, on some apparently flimsy foundation. It is that the mind and heart must not be allowed to stagnate or grow indolent. Interest in the ever changing face of the world's events must be maintained, and then the individual will not sink into that narrow .rut of monotony which is so unlovely, so degrading and so hurtful to all progress and action.

Mn. T. Pelton. Mrs. T. Pelton, 562 St. Anthony avenue, St. Paul, Minn., writes: "Peruna has done wonders for me. It has cured my headache and palpitation of the heart; has built up my whole-system. I cheerfully recommend Peruna to all sufferers afflicted with catarrh. My mother is never Without Peruna. When one is tired and generally out of sorts, if Peruna Is taken it immediately removes that tired feeling." Peruna cures catarrh by removing the cause, inflamed mucous membranes. Dr. Hartman, the compounder of Peruna, once said, in a lecture to women: "A great number of women consult me every year. I often have occasion to say to these patients, 'I fear you have catarrh, madam/ They will generally reply, 'Oh, no, I never had catarrh. My nose is perfectly clear, and my breath ia not bad. I am not troubled w i t h c o u g h i n g o r spitting, or any o t h er disagreea b 1 e symptoms of catarrh.' Bu\ my dear madam, you may have catarrh all the s a m e . Catarrh is not always located in the head. You may hr.ve catarrh of the lungs, or stomach, or liver, or kidneys, a n d especially you may have catarrh of the pelvic organs." T h e d o c t o r went on to say: "I have been preaching this doctrine for the last forty years, but there are a vast multitude of women who havenever heard it yet Catarrh may attack any organ of the body. Women are especially liable to catarrh of tltopelvic organs. There are one hundred] cases of catarrh of tne pelvic organs to one of catarrh of the bead. Most people think, because they have not catarrh of the head, they have not catarrh at all. This ia a great mistake,, and is the cause of many cases of sickness and death." Vn.

Goodnight of Goodnight, Texas, enjoys the distinction of being the only woman in the world who owns a herd of buffaloes. There are 100 in the herd more than half of which are pure bred, the remainder being 'cataloes,' as a cross between a buffalo and a Galloway cow is called," writes E. J. Davison in the February Ladies' Home Journal. "The cataloes have the same hump as the buffaloes, and shaggy hair, but their color varies from jet black to light brown, and they are most readily distipguishedffom the pure bred by their horns, which are longer. The cataloes are also much more tractable and can soon be taught to eat out of one's hand. But the full blood buffaloes—of the Goodnight herd at least—never repose fall confidence in man. Big and powerful as they are, they are timid and run away at the slightest alarm, although they have taken food from their owners hand from the opposite side of a fence; nor will they attack unless wounded or driven into close quarters. Even with this reputation for timidity Mrs. Goodnight does not regard the pure-bred buffaloes at trustworthy, and doea not consider it safe to go among them on foot Mrs. Goodnight also .baa a herd of fifteen elk. In the. great park, two square miles in area, each animal herds with his kind. Even the pureblood buffalo looks with a royal contempt upon hit plebeian half-brotaer, the catalo, and the two keep wide apart ia separate and distinct groups." • • • • • • • • Y O L Ri O K W N E c !

The American's expectation is for a slightly longer period, Qn the other band, a German lad of 20 can count upon little more than 89 years and a half. It would seem, therefore, that the restlessness attributed to the American temperament does not necessarily conduce to the shortening of life nor the composure of the German to its prolongation. Possibly the better feeding and clothing of Americans in the lower classes of the population are the principal causes of their greater longevity. Their position is, at any rate, maintained hi later as well as in earlier years.

The apple situation has undergone a distinct change since the disastrous gale in the Ural half of Stptembor. Ppto that time it was everywhere conceded that the American apple crop would probably prove the greatest on record, even surpassing that of four years ago. But the exceedingly high winda, a modified form of the West Indian hurricane on the gulf coast swept a dev-. astating path- many miles wide from Texas up and through the Missouri valley and eastward across the lake region and northern states and maritime provinces, disappearing In the Atlantic ocean. The damage to orchard^ in the commercial apple belt was uneven but pronounced. Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan/ New York, New England and !$va Scotia all report heavy losses, and in some sections half the winter fruit was blown from the trees. Fortunately that part of the crop remaining may show excellent growth and development under favorable weather conditions the next two or three weeks, making up In part for the loss indicated. It is too early to fully measure tbe damage,—Orange Judd Farmer. . Had to Conquer or Die. "It was just about gone," writes Mrs. Rosa .Richardson, of Laurel Springs, N.

The royal gentlemen were very much Interested in the Buffalo BUI exhibitions, and Colonel Cody was the recipient of many favors from the emperor himself. One feature of the performance was the exhibition of the antiquated Dead wood, coach containing passengers who are attacked by Indians and Anally rescued by cowboys. The kaiser asked to be allowed to ride in this vehicle with his royal guests and to participate In this Interesting experience. The request waa of course granted, and when the coach was furiously assailed by bowling Indians its inmates were as usual saved by gallant cowboys. After it was over and aa the royal party were descending from the coach the emperor remarked: v "Colonel Cotiy, 1 do not suppose this la the first time that you have ever held four kings." .

The citizens of the Dominion of Canada have just cause to be proud of their; reoord as Um-aityding people. The annual report offtlie qtfminal statistics of the Dominion, which has a population of over «,000,000, shows that ther* were only twenty-five indictments for murder in 1899, of which only two were left without final action. Eleven of those indicted were hanged, nine acquitted and three confined aa insane. Canada Is a country of rast proportions. Its people are scattered over a wide stretch of territory, making police surveillance particularly difficult and in many districts impossible. Yet a city like New York or Chicago alone furnishes a far greater criminal list every year tfcan the whole vast stretch of territory from Quebec to Vancouver. The Canadians ascribe thedr immunity from crime to the promptness with which punishment i s meted out to offenders. When a man is caught red-handed in the act of robbing another he is not released on straw bail by some justice of the peace from the slums, to go out and repeat the offense. Sharp and sure justice is meted out to criminals of all kinds, the result being that when the guardians of the public peace succeed in bringing a thug to the bar they are seldom called upon to hunt him a second time. Furthermore, there are few court delays in Canada when a criminal is brought to book. They have no Dreyer cases over there. There are no meth- -joda—w&ereby Canadian criminals can have the proceedings stayed from •WilLEO-m • * * « " as mm »<(WPtP« mm m ia io Such was the Good fortune of so?

Nor does thiB swift method of treating with wrong-doers in Canada leave the innocent unable to properly defend themselves. They have all the opportunities and privileges that our own laws extend to them. The extent to shield the guilty is lacking—that Is all. The mhove, taken from the editorial column of the Times-Herald, gives some idea of the Immunity from crime that exists in Canada, and this is one of the many inducements held out for Americans to settle in the district known as Western Canada. The season of 1901 will see a few new sections of the country opened up for settlement. They are attractive in every respect. It is understood that one of the best Indian Reserves in the famous Valley of the Saskatchewan will be opened up this year, and an invitation is extended to those desiring homes to make inquiries. The price of the land is said to be nominal. Besides these lands, the several railway companies have lands to sell; also the government. For particulars write to the agent of the government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere. LITERARY N O T E S . An authoritative and sympathetic "Life of the Emperor Frederick," father of the present kaiser, edited from the German of Margaretha von Poschinger, with an introduction fcy Sidney Whitman, is to be brought out.

James Lane Allen's "The Mettle of Your Pastures," which was announced a year ago and was generally thought to have been finally published under the title of "The Reign of Law," is a distinct novel, which will probably tee the light some time in the spring. It has been BO far withheld, as, for certain reasons, Mr. Allen wished to bring out "The Reign of Law" first A servant girls' union has been formed in Watertown, N.

That the truth is far stranger than fiction has been demonstrated in Escanaba by Joseph E. Reinger inheriting $180,000 with several years' interest from an uncle who recently died in Spain. The remarkable part of the story is the romance connected with it which is as follows: Mr. Reinger's father came to this country several years ago from Brussels, Belgium, leaving behind a younger sister and his parents. Some time after Mr. Reinger had settled in America he received a letter from his sister announcing her marriage to a young Spanish officer by the name of Lantigo Fenoll, w h o was at the time an attache of the Spanish legation in Brussels. A few months after the marriage Fenoll was promoted to a responsible position in Valencia, Spain, and moved there with his wife. After that Mr. Reinger ceased to hear from them. Last December a letter was received from Mr. Fenoll, telling of his great success in Cuba and how he had amassed great wealth by deserting the Spanish cause and joining the Cubans; that he was again free from military life and was going back to Spain for his wife and daughter. On arriving in the country he had deserted he was shocked to learn of the death of his wife; was discovered by a Spanish spy and sentenced to 38 years in prison. In prison he was befriended by the prison—priest^ by whose aid he was enabled to mail the letter, which closed by requesting some aid to escape the terrible punishment he was being put to. Feb. 5 word was received that Mr. Fenoll was dead, and a copy of the will which leaves to his nephew 8180,000 with the interest, and giving him' the care of his daughter. The prison priest, Fr. Pedro, with his young charge, is now en route tor Escanaba, where the young lady will doubtless make her future home. Mine Statistics. The labor commissioner has collected interesting information from the managers of the 31 coal mines of Michigan which were in operation Dec 1 last. The average number of mines in operation during the year was 35, and the average number of persons employed in all the mines was 1,038, the average for each mine being A3. The average, number of hours per day worked by employes was 7.7, and the average number of days worked per month was 21.5. The average daily wage paid was S2.34. The miners used 11),- 006 gallons of. oil during the year, which is an average of 51 gallons per month to each mine. Twenty mines used 36,553 kegs, of powder, an average of 149 kegs per month for each mine. The aggregate tons of coal mined number 843,476, an average of 70,290 tons for each mine or an average of 2,267 tons per month for each mine. The aggregate cost of the yearly output was 91,164,000, or an average cost of 81.38 per ton. The commissioner says tbat the cost of the product of the Michigan coal mines now exceeds 8100,000 oer month. Very Baptd Legislation. The Michigan state legislature on the 14th broke all records as far as the "oldest inhabitant" recollects in the passage of important legislation under the guise of it being merely of local importance. The legislature rushed through both houses a bill reorganizing the board of public works department of the city of Detroit. The present board of works was demolished in its entirety, and a new measure enacted calling for the appointment of a superintendent of public works who is to become master of the situation, naming his own staffs and making all board appointments. The term of office Is four years, and the salary 86,000. D. W. B. Moreland, former president of the board, has been appointed to the position. Street Oar Company Most Pay Ts^es. The supreme court on the 12th affirmed the decision of the Wayne circuit eourt in the case of the Detroit Street Railway company vs. the common council of the city of Detroit The board of assessors assessed what are known as the old lines of the company's property at 15,000,000, an increase of over 1800,000 over the year before. The mandamus «wa* fought out on this one ease, although the principle applied to all the lines of the company. The opinion was written by Justice Hooker and concurred in by the entire bench. It covers SS typewritten pages. The tax commission is jubilant over the decision. In all probability Pontiac will secure the state fair this f**r.

It was almost a year before I was myself, but during that time I used Dodd's Kidney Pills faithfully and with the very best results that anyone could wish for.

( (Special l e t t e r . ) Photographer John B, Valln of Onset B a y thinks h e has solved the problem o f aerial navigation. Mr. Valla Is not t h e only man who has entertained that idea. There have been scores of others, none of whom have lived to see their theories blossom into facts. Mr. Yalin's f4aa possesses at least the virtue of novelty. He claims that a ©crew, or "worm," propeller may be utilized for propulsion through the ether, as it 1* commonly used in the denser element, water. The, application of man-power by a hand and foot lever in the car of his Ingenious outfit, to the balloon of ''worm" form is another striking feature. This is designed to apply by transmitting the power by aid of a rope, or,-preferably, a light linked steel chain, from the car to the balloon with a ratchet and spring at the point of contact. This force is then expended by revolving the balloon, which screws Its way forward through t i n air. Hydrogen gaa is utilized to sustain the outfit i n . t h e air and to raise it. This is designed for use because of its great lifting power, although i t is rather expensive. Hot air cannot readily be used, because It would compel making the balloon very large, unwTeldly and to work at a disadvantage. With hydrogen gas long flights can be made and the utility of the airship greajtly enhanced. — M r . Valln, in deVribirig from his model the ratchet and spring application to the axis of the balloon, says: "It will be very greatly to the advantage, you will see, to employ ball bearings, which will save all possible loss of power in transmission, yet there will: be a portion of loss of power then which it is impossible to overcome through friction.

Pearson, the sheritt of Cumberland county, Me., is a man of strong individuality. He is a reformed drunkard, and in his early days reached a level of degradation from which since his conversion to abstinence he has done much to rescue others. He was probably the first man in M-tinp tn vntn thp strn^-ht pmhihitiun ticket. He voted It, indeed, if it be not paradoxical to say so, before there was a prohibition ticket in the field, by writing Neal Dow's name on a slip of paper. One of the election officers held it up and said: "This is Sam Pearson's vote; we'll count it scattering." And young Pearson answered with spirit: "We'll scatter it till the rum shops of Maine are closed.'' Mr. Pearson served with distinction in the civil war. After the war he settled in Portland. In 1S72 he began his gospel mission work, and since that date he has he}d 8,229 services, conducted 357 funerals and 229 marriage ceremonies and, wrtlTMrs. Pearson, has made 15,- 347 visits to the poor. In England he secured over 100,000 pledges to temperance. He is an indefatigable worker and a man of tremendous energy. ~ Wew CSiSJttfntn*~diietpMMs» Big commercial schemes are afoot in the Dominion of Canada.

As the years go by it is pleasing to note that more farmers write letters on printed letter heads and have their cards on their envelopes.

Addlee* Casasaaek, the Ex-Wall Street ISTTptei a s ' l«e»vs» Bto Tirt. .so HI* Two Children—Sold His Seat for 018,000. Addison Cammack, who s few years ago was oat of the ablest and most' successful operators that Wall street ever knew, died the other day, after a long illness. In 1897, early in February, Mr. Cammack sold his seat on the stock exchange, which he had held' since March 10, 1875, and retired from. business. The purchaser was Henry I., Dittman of Lacard Brothers, and the price was $18,000. Mr. Cammack was called the "great pessimist" of the street He was noted' for being a pricker of South Sea bubbles. He held that there were too many railroads and too much water in stocks, and he reaped wealth out of the wreck of industries into which hopeful and empire-building pioneer capitalists put their money. Many men have grown rich in Wall street. The Vanderbilts and the Goulds incidentally made fortunes there as the result of their real operations in business. But few men cleared fortunes on pure speculation like the harvests reaped by Mr. Cammack. He did not create hew wealth with his winnings. He merely gather*! In existing wealth by taking advantage of human errors in real speculation and by always taking the "bear" side of the market The great pessimist began to be known in Wall street when in 1870 he formed a partnership with Charles J. Oeborn under the firm name of Osborn & Cammack. This was a brokerage firm, but in 1875 Mr. Cammack withdrew apd never did a broker's business ADDISON CAMMACK. again. His operations were all confined to absolute speeulation. He was often associated with William H. Vanderbilt and Jay Gould in their operations, and he was a close personal friend of the former railway magnate. It was Cammack who, in 1883, brought about the collapse in Northern Pacific stock. He loved the excitement of the market to the last. When he retired four years ago he did so. under pressure from his wife, who insisted that he had had enough of the game. He did not marry until he was 59 years old, but at that time he did not. look more than 40. His was a wonderful vitality, and the way he held his age was the wonder of the ".street," where his youthful appearance and his real age were a proverb among the young men. Mrs. Cammack was a Miss Hildreth of Washington. The dead speculator leaves two children, both boys, one of whom Is 14 and the other 11. On his wedding day he presented his wife with $1,060,000 in first-class securities. Mr. Cammack was born at Hopkinsville, Ky: His parents were very poor, and he drifted to New Orleans as a youth and there became a clerk. He was afterward a cotton speculator in London* and a wholesale liquor dealer in New York. He lived at 46 West Fifty-seventh street and had a country home at Tuxedo. • > . * . A Town Crier's Warning. During the early pan of the week, wires a correspondent, the town crier of Tewkesbury, in his quaint uniform, made a tour of the town, crying the following announcement: Oyez! Ores! Oyes! Please to take notice that on and after this date any pro-Boers found larking in the streets of this loyal •and ancient borough will be taken to the xroas and duly tarred and feathered. By •order. Qod save the queen. This notice soon brought together the youthful population, who followed the bellman through the streets until they numbered about 200, hurrahing and singing the national anthem. The crowd then visited the residence of one who is tuposed to have pro-Boer sympathies and made a demonstration, but nothing more serious than shouting was indulged in. Later a pig's head, which had evidently been used aa a target /or Innumerable bullets, was sent In a basket to the same person.— From the London Leader. A Seabed* for too Grip*..„'.' .

T r i g PICKLES T g & ~ , A pewver sTealth Departs**** Bootes* Method of Ptegaosta* Mams*. Tbere has recently been an epidemic of mumps among the school children of the city, says the Denver Republican. According to the rules of the health department a child may not return to school until he has fully recovered. Every afternoon has brought to the health department fifteen or twenty youngsters, some with swollen cheeks and some without It is the duty of the physician in charge of the office to examine these applicants for clean bills of health and see if any trace of the infection remains. But the force of the health department Is small, and sometimes there is no doctor in the office for an hour at a time. This works a hardship on mothers waiting with their children, and Dr. Carlin yesterday bethought himself of the magic touchstone by which Miss Mollis Currlganr guardian of the outer office, might herself test the applicants. "Pickles are the thing/' said Dr. Carlin. "If a person with the slightest trace of inflammation in the thyroid glands takes a bite of anything sharply sour, the face is instantly contorted. In extreme casei the pain is extreme." So a bottle of mixed pickles was added to the pharmacopoeia of the office. Now, when there is no doctor in the office, Miss Currigan lines up the applicants for certificates and goes down the lines with the bottle of pickles. If the child takes the pickle and smiles as a healthy child snould, he may go back to school again; but if he scowls in pain, then he is condemned to stay at home. + J " — r — ~ — - • J ^\v Xlfliatrasn t,#t«h H * * I .

If you have no appetite, poor digestion, are bilious and constipated, your skin will be dark, sallow, pimply, with unhealthy pallor. If you are sleepless, nervous, irritable, despondent, with nerves all on edge, feel as if you could fly, and are startled at every sound,:—these nervous troubles will certainly line your face with wrinkles like age, make you look haggard, hollow-eyed, take the lustre from your eyes and the elastic spring from your step. If you suffer from female troubles, the dragging pain, the aching head, the tired limbs, the utter weakness, prostration and misery will turn youth to 6*ld age unless cured at once.

FBASHK U •JTOBBWS, Publishes* < PINCKNEY, T * ^ MICHIGAN, Ail elephant has only eight teeth— Jtmt> below - a n i t w o s b o v e o a e a c h side. At the age of fourteen an elephant loses its first set, and a new set grows. <+m The idea seems to be gaining ground that consumption should be known as such. The Philadelphia board, of health at a recent meeting discussed compulsory registration of consumptives, and inclined to its favor in the belief that it will tend, to check the disease. A nobleman in Madrid, after spending hie fortune and getting deeply into «%«*>«, lost his wife. His friends advised him to marry a rich bride, but to the dismay of his creditors, he married a poor women. When asked why he did so, he answered, "For revenge. To make my rascally creditors rave." Senator Spooner's suggestion that a congressional commission be sent to the Philippine islands to investigate conditions there possess obvious merit. It is difficult for congress t o legislate "for the needs of a country which few of its members have ever seen, and concerning which the reports are so conflicting as they are regarding the Philippines. A fruit dealer in Paris advertised his Willingness to give a prize of five francs for the biggest apple sent to him. In a fortnight he had received enough big apples to stock his store for a season, and, like ah honest man, he awarded five francs for the biggest one. The others didn't cost him a sou, and the free advertising brought to him a rush of business. A remarkable, cafe has been dlseov- |ered in St. Joseph, Mo. N. Schellinger, an electrician of that city, filled a cat with electricity, and in a few minutes the animal was as rigid and lifeless, as a marble cat. Two hours later the electrician reversed the current, and this treatment reanimated the appar*- ently dead animal, and in a few minutes it was as playful and frisky as it ever had been. One hundred and sixty miles an hour is the ©peed aimed at by a new electric railway- company in Germany under the direct patronage of the emperor. Cars with accommodation for fifty persons each are now being built, and will be tried on a 30 kilometer track. It it intended to use electricity only for the express passenger service, as for freight and local traffic steam is expected to remain the power for a long time. In spite of the fact that the experiments made in the American navy with oil as fuel have been entirely unsatisfactory, some of the French and German vessels on the Chinese stations are having complete success with I t The advantages of petroleum, if it can be properly utilized, are very great. At Singapore, for example, coal now costs about $14 a ton, while oil costs hut $& a ton and has a steam raising power 26 per cent greater than that of coal. Bull fighting, Spain's national sport, was supposed to be too strongly entrenched in the spirit and traditions of t h e people ever to become distasteful t o them, but it now appears destined to be swept away before the march of civilisation. At a recent mass-meeting in Barcelona, the scene of many a gory contest between matador and buD, resolutions were passed condemning the sport as cruel and brutalising, and calling upon the government to suppress it throughout the peninsula. The fact attests the power Of the humanising ideas and influences which, slowly, but surely, are transforming the world fcto a better and happier abiding place for man and animal alike. An open letter from Mrs. Isobel Strong, stepdaughter of Robert Louis Stevenson, comes right upon the heels of resolutions which congress has passed against the sale of liquor and firearms to uncivilised peoples. Ever since the Samoan islands came under the influence of the United States, Great Britain and Germany, she says, a n organised effort has been made to keep drunkenness o u t The native rulers have shared this effort But since the Islands were divided and TutuHa allotted to the United States, a license, has b e e s issued for a saloon in Pago Pago, our harbor there, and the saloon Is under construction. Mrs. Strong calls attention to the matter 'because she believes the people of the United States may not know what is being done, and ought t o know. She says, with Justice, that to participate in the international efforts to stop the sale of liquor among native tribes in Central .Africa, and to fail to stop it when athe./power is all in our own hands, would be a sham affectation of decency.

Pentwater CltU«nt not Discouraged. The recent destruction by tire of a large portion of the business section of Pentwater doesn't seem to have discouraged the population of that village.

The appropriation for moving the plant was 85,500, and was all expended. The loss will fall on • h e taxpayers, and will be heavy. i • • New Uaeee of Smallpox. The experience of the Michigan health officers during the past few few months has borne out the prediction that smallpox would continue to increase until about April 1, when it will begin to diminish. The disease has been iairly well restricted, in view of the fact that it is often treated as chickenpox until many have been exposed. New cases were reported to the state board of health on the 19th from West Bay City, Elk Rapids and Boyne Falls.

Citizens of Grand Ledge are divided on the effect of the announcement that railroads will run no more Sunday excursion trains. The papers see the finish of the town as a resort and do not know whether to attribute the cause to a stricken conscience on the part of the railroad officials or to the fact that it is a loss of so mueh cash by so doing.

"You :kn*w ei d& ttnfe of Mrsl Undon'a *de»vU»*oTiy among others, neVef doubt- ^ed the legality of the will." ~ "I can't, express myself well, .ma'am," aaid Bridget Ransom; "but At I tell my story my own waV perhaps .you'll understand. When you and Mr. 'Dynevor engaged me as nurse to Miss Kitty you made one stipulation—that I was not to be talking continually of Mrs. Lindon. You said the subject was a very painful one, and you did / t o t want to discuss it." "We both felt it a mistake to dwell on It," agreed Mrs. Dynevor. "And eo I never told you what my poor lady suffered," returned Bridget "Care for her? Eustace Lindon cared for no one but himself and the baby. He was so jealous of his wife's affection for her firstborn that as soon as hie own child was born he sent little Miss Lillian away to the country. She was brought up in a French peasant's cottage, and the parting almost broke her mother's heart." "But, Bridget," persisted Mrs. Dyne- •vor, "why tell me all this now? It i s too late to help either my poor sister- in-law or her child." "Please hear me out," said Mrs. Ransom. "I might have written home, And told you and Miss Lillian's uncle, •only Mrs. Lindon begged me not The fact was her husband hated Miss Lillian, and she thought the poor child happier anywhere away from him." "Did he care for his own child?" "Yes; but she was a sickly little thing, and with none of her mother's beauty. She had an English nurserather a flighty young woman, whom my mistress hated. When Mr, Lindon suddenly declared they couldn't afford t6 keep me and Julia, she begged and prayed for him to let me be the one to stay, and I humbled myself to ask him, too. I said I'd do ait my own work and look after the child as well; but it was of no use. I went, Julia stayed/' *> Mrs. Dynevor coul<r*not see the thread of these recollections, but she listened patiently. "A year or two after I left you, ma'am, I met Julia again. She wasn't in service then, but she seemed to have plenty of money, and she told me Mr. Lindon allowed her 50 pounds a year for the sake of all she had done for the child. "I thought it was the most generous thing I'd ever heard of turn; but I didn't come all*thls way to tell you of this, rm a widow now, and I've a nice little lodging house at Brighton. I took a partner lately, and she turns •out to have been housekeeper to Mr. Lindon for ten years; and, Mrs. Dyn- •eror/aha says the woman he has married is the Julia who was fellow-servant with me in France. Mrs. Dynevor looked bewildered. "Now, with all his faults, he was a .gentleman," went on Mrs. Ransom, "and Jnlta Maunders was a common, uneducated woman, who could never be companion to him. Mrs. Markham, my partner, told me she had actually been in his house as attendant to his daughter, that she gave way to drink, and, when not quite herself, actually Struck Mlsa Lindon.—Now, ma'am, a .gentleman doesn't marry a vulgar, uneducated woman of forty, who, besides, is given to drink, without some reason. Mrs. Markham and I have talked the matter over and over again, and we believe there's something wrong about the will, and Julia knew it." At that moment Harold Dynevor <came in. He would have gone away on seeing his mother was not alone; but she detained him, and in a tew words gave him the heads of Mrs. -v Ransom's story. "I can't see how the -will could be a fraud,",he answered, "and yet everything points to i t Lindon dlsmisaing the attendant who was true to his wife, and keeping the one who could l>e bribed, points to fraud; but, mother, I don't see what we are to do." Neither did'Mrs. 'Dynevor; but their 'visitor now proceeded to relate the 4M8t part of her story. "Mrs. Markham told me a good deal •of her young lady, Beryl Lindon, and J'm ready to swear she la not the child I left in Julia's care when I was sent away. There must be plenty of people left in the French village who remembe* little Beryl. She was so puny and backward for a long time the doctor feared she was an idiot She had light hair, almost white and perfectly straight, and big, watery blue eyes— the sort of eyes you see oftenest in idiots. At three yearn old she could hardly walk..' No one but her father could see anything to admire in her. "According to Mrs. Markham, Beryl Lindon has very dark ayes, blue-grey, ^nd almost Mask tubes, and curly brown,hair. I can't think even fifteen years would make such a change." Mrs. Dynevor looked from her son to Mrs. Ransom. * "I am sure you both see something —some explanation; but, I cannot." "Mother," said Harold hoarsely; "forgive me! I have kept a secret from you. The girl you know as Beryl Lendon is really Aunt Nina's daughter. She came to Eaathill to escape from her father and his second wife. An accident gave me the key to her secret She wanted never to come here again because she was our enemy's, daughter; but I told her we would be content to think of her only as her mother's child." "She is Nina's image," breathed Mrs. Dynevor; "but even then " "I have no proof," said Harold, "any. more than Mrs. Ransom; but I believe we both think the same, and to me it is a strong conviction. I believe that when he saw his own child's state was hopeless, Lindon conceived a desperate scheme. He would send away the only person likely to betray him, he would bribe the nurse into silence, his wife was so ill a few months would end n«r life, and she would never know his deception. As soon as Bridget left we know he removed his family to another part of France. Within a month we hea/d of Lillian's death; but I believe the child buried as Uncle Frank's daughter was really Beryl Lindon." "You mean he changed the children?" Harold nodded. . "But it would be impossible! How coula he pass off a child of seven for a baby of three?" "We don't know that he did. He placed the little girl in the care of a country doctor some time after her mother's death; but there is no telling what age he gave her. Mother, don't you see this explains so much? Aunt Nina never guessed his hateful plot. She died believing it was her own child, Lillian Dynevor, who would grow up heiress of the Manor. She could have had very little to leave, that little she naturally bequeathed to her husband. The phrase 'all my real and personal nroperty' was no doubt his choice. If Lillian had been alive he would have inherited only a little ready money, in spite of that highsounding phrase; with Lillian dead, he took everything." "It would be the blackest sin I ever heard of!" breathed Mrs. Dynevor. Bridget Ransom nodded her head. "But he did it, ma'am. Why you've only to ask his housekeeper, or the young lady herself, to hear he had no love or affection for the poor girl he called his daughter. He treated her with open indifference, if not neglect Now the little child I left in France he simply worshipped!" "Mother," said Harold, "here come tne girls. You won't let Beryl think she is less welcome because you know her secret?" Beryl and Kitty looked from one to the other of the little group, bewildered. It was Mrs. Dynevor who spoke, and to Beryl. "My dear," she said gently, "Mrs. Ransom has come here chiefly to see you. She has heard a great deal of yau from a Mrs. Markham, and oo I have learned your real name and the link between us." "And can you forgive me for being my father's daughter?" "Your fathsr, unless we all mistake, was my brother-in-law, Frank Dynevor. My dear, Mrs. Ransom lived with your mother for years. She is ready to swear that you are not and cannot be, Beryl Lindon; we think you are my niece, Lillian." "She is her mother's image," said Mrs. Ransom; "and, though it is not a compliment to say so, she looks older than eighteen. Twenty-two at Christmas would be Miss Lillian's age." The girl who had so long thought herself Beryl Lindon burst into tears. "Then it was not a dream that I had played in the deserted nursery at the Manor, that I had had a frock like the one in the picture, and 'Pet' was my own name after all!" Mrs. Ransom accepted the hospitality of Uplands for the night, and a telegram to Marton brought Mr. Proctor to the farm before the family had finished breakfast . "I should play a game of bluff," he counselled, "and tell Mr. Lindon you have discovered his fraud. Most probably he'll give in and confess everything; otherwise, you'll have to go first to Ponta-neufs, and see the doctor who attended the real Beryl Lindon; then on to S t Jacent, where ahe is reported to have died, and get a description of the child onried in her name. If the two gentlemen are still practicing in the same townships the task would be easy enough; if they have moved on, and have to be traced, u might Uju * iong |ime; therefore, as I say, I advise a game of bluff." Mrs. Tanner's supposed letter had come by that morning's post; but that also brought another from the gentle widow herself, saying she was persuaded to prolong her stay another week. Mrs. Dynevor would, she knew, be pleased to keep Miss Lindon, so she hoped the change of plan would be agreeable to every one. "Depend upon it," said Harold, "the second letter came from Mrs. Wilmot, and was written at Mr. Lindoa's request He must have caught a glimpse of you yesterday at the Manor, and this is a ruse to get you into his hands." "Must I go?" she asked anxiously. "No," said Mr. Proctor; "but Harold Dynevor, who Is, I believe, your next-of-kin, will, keep the appointment at Woodlands in your stead. I shall accompany him as his legal adviser, and Mrs. Ransom will come, too, to speak to her recollections of the real Beryl Lindon." Mr. Lindon had waited a good ten minutes when the bell at Woodlands rang loudly. Another moment and he was confronted by the man he most feared and disliked, and the woman he recognized as his wife's devoted attendant. "So you are 'Mrs. Tanner,* and the note asking her governess to return was a forgery?" said Mr. Proctor. "Sir," said Lindon haughtily, "I deny your right to interfere in my domestic concerns. I have come to Easthill to find my daughter, and remove her from the society of my enemies!" Then Mr. Proctor spoke. He was so positive of Harold's suspicions being correct he felt justified in assuming facts. "Your daughter is not in England, Mr. Lindon," he said curtly. "We have recently discovered your fraud. She is buried at St. Jacent in Brittany, under the name of her halfsister. Lillian Dynevor is still alive, and the lawful owner of all you have so long usurped. As she came of age last December, you cannot even claim the role of her guardian." "It is false!" cried the wretched man. "I " "Xou married Julia Maunders to make her hold her tongue," struck in Mrs. Ransom; "but you forgot me Mr. Lindon. Ah! overruling Provi dence threw your late housekeeper in my way* and when we had exchanged our opinions about you we knew pretty well the truth of the matter." "I defy you to prove It!" Harold Dynevor interposed. "As Lillian's next-of-kin, I am here with power to act for her. Mr. Lindon, you can make your choice: Sign a full confession of your fraud, disgorge your ill-gotten gains and leave England, when you wia receive an annuity of 500 pounds a year, or defy us. You may hold your own for two or three months, until we find the doctor who attended your child; but you will then be prosecuted with the utmost rigor of the law, and the result will probably be penal servitude for life." Like all bullies, Eustace Lindon was a coward. Mr. Proctor's plan had answered, and he saw that he was beaten. Better far accept his freedom and an annuity sufficient to keep him than end his days in a convict prison. The trio left him, carrying away his signed confession, and with the understanding that a representative of Mr. Proctor would take possession of the house in Elchester square in the name of Lillian Dynevor, and that he gave up all the moneys of his stepdanghtpr whir»h hp hafl appropriated, within a month. And when they told Lillian—how strange and unfamiliar the name sounded—of her good fortune she astonished them all by bursting into tears, and declaring she would rather remain Mrs. Tanner's governess than return to Dynevor Manor as its mistress. But that of course was impossible. (To be Continued.) H l u e d HU Calling. A young insurance man received a* introduction to some good people a few days ago in a manner which he will not soon forget. The friend who did the honors was somewhat of a wag, but was one of those quiet, sober, polished men whom one meets occasionally. Upon this occasion he was as grave and dignified as a church deacon, and seemingly perfectly sincere. He said: "I would like to make y w acquainted with Mr. B—. I can recommend him to your good graces, having known both him and his family for years. Hia father Is one of the best men I know, and their family Is an old one. There is only one thing I might say. Mr. B. is an Insurance man and I have always insisted that any one who could tell as good a lie as he can ought either to be a piano tuner or a lightning rod agent"—Cleveland Leader. Pearson—I'd like to know who sent me this abusive letter. I'll bet it was that crank next door. Mrs, Pearson —I dont think so, John. It must have been some one who knows you much batter than be does. Capt Jones, of the 8th-infantry, was arrested at a town on the bay J n tss province of Lagans, Florehttso Ortana sod Miguel Ponce de Leon, agents of Tsbacaleria Co., and Wis. Webb, Pedro Lorenso and Viotorisoo 8sntsas, employed by the Philippine Trading Co., on charges similar to those brought against D. W. Carman, the American contractor, namely furnishing the insurgents with supplies, Tabacaleria Co., theriehest corporation in the Philippines, is accused of aiding the insurgent* often and extensively. The parties arrested are prominent persons and the evidence against them is very strong. The special committee appointed by the Cuban constitutional convention to draw up a proposition denning the future relations between the republic of Cuba and the U. S. was in conference all day on the 18th with the other members of the convention in an endeavor to get the opinion o/ the majority as to what action should be taken regarding the .suggestions offered by Gov.-Gen. Wood recently. The question of naval stations is still the chief subject of controversy. Col. Schuyler, with 160 men of the 42d regiment on the gunboat Pasco, landed on the Cavite coast near Ternate, and proceeding inland captured a small rebel garrison. Continuing his march along a mountain trail, Col. Schuyler was attacked by rebels of Trias' command. After a sharp fight the enemy was beaten and scattered. One American was killed and one was wounded. The U. S. Philippine commission decided on the 18th after a conference that it would not be wise to postpone the organization of provincial government in the province of Tarlac. As the first step in the work of organization the commission determined to appoint au American as governor of the province, the selection falling upon Capt Wallis O. Clark; of the 12th U. S. infantry. The U. S. transport Rosecrans has returned to Manila from the island of Guam, after landing there the Filipino prisoners who have be^n transported to that place. The prisoners were landed Jan. 12. They occupy an excellent prison site, four miles from Agana, The prison is called The Presidio. It is situated on an ascent and strict discipline is maintained. The Women's Peace league met at Judge Taft'b house in Manila on the 19th, and passed resolutions to the effect that they intended to unite the Americans aud Filipinos in the efforts to promote loyalty and hasten peace. Lieut. Low, with a detachment of the 1st cavalry, recently overtook 20Q insurgents near Batangas. After a stubborn fight the enemy was driven into the mountains. Lieut. Mapes, of the 32d regiment, recently captured five rebel officers, 20 men and 18 guns, nine miles from Manila. The 37th infantry, U. S. V., was mustered out of service at the Preside, near San Francisco, on the 20th. The provincial officers of the provinces of Tarlac, Pangasinan and Pam* panga have been inaugurated. Gen. McArthurs reception at Malacan an exceeded anything in the Spanish regime. Have Signed the Document. The Cuba constitution first submitted by the central committee to the convention at the public session of Jan. 21, was signed on the 21st. One copy was sent to Gov.-Gen. Wood and the other placed among the records of the convention. The president and vice-presidciits signed first and the delegates followed in the order of their seats on the iloor of the convention, the two secretaries signing last. Senor Cisneros created a sensation by refusing to sign. He said: "Cuba is now independent, arad I can see no reason for sending this constitution to the U. S. for acceptance. The U. S. government has no right to pass on it, for it is a distinctly Cuban document and was drawn up by this convention which has assumed the responsibility of establishing the republic/' «a*n is* Years a s * ' • It stems to be a fact, proved by a|» moat daily observation now, that the deer art returning to Connecticut, and in goon numbers, too. Reports are heard almost daily of one or more ot these graceful animals being sees in one or another part of the good old state, under circumstances which fig it that they are new arrivals. There at* probably more deer in Connecticut today than at any previous time with* in the last 150 rears, says the Hart* ford Times. They are seen on railroad tracks in fields and gardens and even feeding with the domestic cattle. Where they all come from and what is drawinc them here seem not to be very clear. They are not only seen in meat unexpected places, but appear to be singularly free from fear of human beings. They are seen, too, in nearly all parts of the state. A few days ago a young lady down the river below MIddletown succeeded In photographr ing one of them by a snap shot. At almost any time within the last- lull years down to 1*00 if a hunter wished to shcot a deer he made a long trip to find his game—going either to the Adinndacks or the far backwoods or Meine. Their appearance in such numbers might be accounted for by th» disappearance of the wolves that formerly destroyed them; but the wolves have been gone in almost all parts of New England, for a long time, and their disappearance cannot now be felled upon $o account for the deer. Whatever may turn out to be the cause of their sudden and rapid increase in numbers here. in old Connecticut, it is a pleasant thing to Bee them returning to this neighborhood. Whr.t a pleasant addition to the neighborhood of our forest patches their graceful presence would make if their seeming trust in human kind is permitted to take root and 3tay. A WISE DRUGGIST. ^Vor SS.PO He Guar*ntc«« t o J>o T h a i for Which n Ladr Offers HlmSlOO. Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 25, 190L— (Special.)—Some two ycara ago a local druggist engaged in a transaction which was in its details somewhat remarkable. He was Ylsited by M si Anna P. Nichols, who had a doctor's prescription for rheumatism, which the druggist was filling. In the course of conversation the good lady sa d: "l would give one hundred dollars to g:t well." He immediately replied: "Give ms five dollars and I will guarantee to cure you." She agreed, and he at once handed her a box of Dodd's Kidney P lis, saying: "They are 50c a box. Two b xes may cure you, but I am quite sure that ten will." Miss Nichols tells the story as follows: "Dodd's Kidney Pil.s are veritable life preservers. I was troubled for five years with Rheumatism, so that at times my right arm seamed paralyzed and I could only walk with difficulty, and could not go out cf doors If the air was damp or cold. I took so much medicine that I think my system was poisoned rather than helped. One day when my druggi3t was putting up a prescription for me I remarked to him that I would give one hundred dollars for a remedy t&at would make me better." " 'Give me five dollars and I will guarantee to cure you,' ho said. I readily agreed and he handed me a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, spying, 'They are 50c a box.

Smith gave a report of the state round-up a t Lansing which *vas interesting and was well received. . In discussing the late county institute the question of Garden Farming was discussed and while some criticized t h e speaker most thought it very appropriate. Pres. Beckwith thought that the influence of the farmer's clubs had much to do with the slicking up farm yards, fences etc. AFTERNOON SESSION. While waiting for the regular speaker, this session was opened by asking a few questions, Will sowing refuse salt on wheat in the spring kill the insects and save the wheat? Pies. Beckwith £aid that he knew ot cases where salt bad kiig^d the insect, also thought lime Aim plaster helped. R. R. Smith t&ougjii if the iusect was in the wheat]? nothing would save the crop, bad no fagA In pasturing, the insect was* to dtjjep to be reached by sheep pasturing or salt. Mr. Kellogg thought that it Iwould be ot benefit if those who advocated a remedy would tell what it did — whether it killed the insect or made the ground better so that new stooU of wheat was the result. A. Al. Wells thought unless we did find something to do away with the insect we should .L^eace consequently t h e difficulty in t^knowing what each needs to propigate it the best No one can form any rate for everyone as one form or farmer may do well with one while another would make a failure. A mixture will generally work better for they require the different properites that are in the soil. Had experimented on a square rod of each of the grasses with a yield as follows in pounds and hundredthsj- Tall oat grass, 16 50 31.50 36.87 50.83 53.13 53.25 5491 57.50 86.75 Orchard grass, Slender wheat grass, Fowl meadow grass, Tall meadow rescue, Red clover, Timothy, . Mammoth clover, A mixture of all above. I t will be seen by the above that a mixture, on the same ground produced a much better yield than any one singly. He would sow 12 pounds of timothy seed and 15 of red clover per acre, if mixed J of each. Well cured timothy or clover seed should grow after boing kept 5 years. No crop is needed to protect glasses while growing, they will do better when some alone. The association closed at a little after tour o'clock with everyone pleased with the meeting. There is perhaps one fault and that is that they are too slow in getting together, and the speakers should as a rule be prompt. The meeting adjourned to meet the first Saturday in August.

It has come to he recognized.by almost everybody as the Lest possible spring medicine to take, and hundreds of thousands of our people use it during the trying spring months, to tone up anew the relaxed nerves and re-invigorate and enrich the blood. A spring medicine is a necessity if one wishes to keep in perfect health and vigor during the changes from winter to summer. This grand spring ionic, this perfect spring medicine. Dr. -Greene's Nervura b*ood, and nerve, remedy, is exactly what the system needs at this season, it not only purities, but makes rich, red blood; it not only strengthens and invigorates tne nervous system, but re-energizas And revitalizes the nerves by feeding them with renewed nerve torce and power. It is not only an aid to digestion, but It creates a regular, natural a n d healthy action of the bowel3, liver, kidneys, which in the spring are always sluggish and inactive. In fact, it is just what people need t o make them well and keep them well during these months, s o threatening to the healthy of all, and ,when It is considered that Dr. Greene's Nervurarf dissolve, •biood and nerve remedy is made entirely from pure, health-giving vegetable remedies, and that people give i t more testimonials of cure than any other remedy on earth, no one can •doubt that it i s the very best spring remedy for everybody to use. Mr. Gustave Lelbach, of 837 First St., Jersey City, N. 3., says: "I was troubled with sick headaches, ^ind could not sleep on account of the pains in my head. I was suffering night and day with dyspepsia, could •not eat anything, my stomach would sour so. I had to starve myself to have any case. I had to give up work at last, I w a s so nervous and miserable, and I, was falling away in flesh s o that my friends hardly knew me. I tried .several remedies, but without avail. At last someone recommended Dr. • Greene's Nervura blood and ne. ve remedy. I tried one bottle and began to improve. I started in to eat all right; then I picked up my health; my headaches disappeared;, and my weakness -and sour stomach went away. I used three bottles and couid sleep all night with ease; I used six bottles and felt like a new man. I can now do a hard tlay's work without any trouble, and I am as happy as a bird in spring. I was , s o miserable, always suffering, always i n pain,but now I am like a new man." Use Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy this spring, for it Is the discovery and prescription of a wellknown physician, Dr. Greene, of 35 W. 14th St. New York City, who is responsible for its beneficial action, und who can be consulted free of v< hargc, personally or by letter. -— WITH T H E S A G E S . __ "Feeling in the young precedes phll- •oso|phy^ a n d oiteiL w t s j w ^ t h a more certain aim.—W.

L IKfei A TERRIBLE CYCLONB grip bacillus has passed over our country, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, leaving behind it a dark cloud of anguish and despair. Catarrh follows grip as effect follows cause. A multitude of catarrh victims vrlll spring up in the trail of the awful epidemic of grip that has just passed over our fair country. The hope to these people is Pernna. Most people know this already. Everyone who has had the least touch of grip, should not fall t o take a course of treatment with Peruna. Peruna eradicates every vestige of the disease and leaves the system in a normal condition. Hon, Joseph B. Crowley, Congressman from Illinois, writes from the National Hotel, Washington, D. C„ as follows: "After giving Peruna a fair trial I can cheerfully recommend your remedy, to anyone suffering with coughs, colds, la grippe and all catarrhal complaints;'*— J. B. Crowley. Hon. George H. White, Congressman from North Carolina, writes: "I am more than satisfied with Peruna, and find it to be an excellent Temedy the gulp a n d catarrh. haye used i t ins m y family, and they all Join me in1 recommending it as an excellent remedy."—George H. White. Hon. J. P: Megrew, Superintendent U. S. Capital Police Fores, of Washington, D. C , says:: "Having suffered from t h * grip, I was advised by a friend to use your Peruna, I also used it for my catarrh, and I can now cheerfully recommend your remedy to anyone w h o is suffering from the grip and catarrh/"— J. p. Megrew. Miss Anna Russell, Past Worthy Counselor, Loyal Mystic Legion, 293 Endicott Bldg., St. Paul, Minn., writes: "For years I 'have unfortunately found my system in a peculiarly/ receptive condition for catarrh when. I was exposed in any way to inclement weather. At those times I would be severely afflicted with la grippe- and its unpleasant consequences. "Now for the past year and' a half I have used Peruna i n such cases and have found that it n o t only euros me quickly, but it also cleanses nry blood and renders me less liable to catch cold. It is the finest preventative of colds that I know of and a very superior tonic."—Anna Russell. Miss Alice Dressier, 1313 North Bryant Ave., Minneapolis, Minn*., writes: "Last spring Y> suffered ftam Isv grippe and was partially cured, b u t the bad after-effects remained* through the summer, and somehow l, did n o t fet strong as I was before. Imtbs fall caught a cold after getting my feet wet and attending a lecture in; a cold hall, and I suffered a> relapse, (km unpleasant catarrh of the head a n d throat followed, and a s I was in a weak condition physically previous t o this, it took but little to> break madown completely. "One of my college friends: who w a s visiting me, asked me to try Peruna, and I did so and found it all and more than I had expected. It hot only cured me of the catarrh, but restored) me t o perfect health, built up the entire s y s - tem; and brought a happy, feeling of buoyancy which I had not known for years."—Miss Alice Dressier.

After my child was born, blood poison set in, which left me with granulated inflammation of the womb and congested ovaries. I had suffered from suppressed and painful menstruation from a girl. The doctors told mo the ovaries would have to be removed. I took treatment two years to escape an operation, but still remained in miserable health in both body and mind, expecting to part with my reason with each coming month. After using one bottle of the Compound, I became entirely rid of the trouble in my head. I continued to use your remedies until cured. " The last nine months have been passed in Perfect good health.

The lecturer and the theme were accorded the greatest welcome and the highest honors. The governor of the state introduced him with an eloquent speech, asuring him of Uis welcome to Massachusetts. In a very large part of the civilzed world Frederick Douglass would have been given very much the same sort of welcome to a lecture on John Browi}, for John Brown the rioter, t^e leader of a, mob, the man who uudertook to steal chattels, and violate the sacred laws of properly, and did kill in the attempt and was hanged for it, has most surely been lifted up into a place of everlasting glory in the minds of the truest, and noblest men and women e4 mo4- j a g e that tbe-aUu^ementa^of—tli^ y— •T"*T 'i, every family ^roken up and acat tered by the auction block under African slavery, there are a dozen | families and more, white as well as black, rich and cultivated as well as poor and ignorant, from the mansion as well as the^tene-1 ment house, that are separated and scattered in shame and die* grace by the cruel, devilish work of thehquor saloon, , For centuries the most cruel pressure of the Hquor traffic* ha« fallen upou womanhood.

Ilia mother saw that she was on the wrong tack, so sht1 censed to tease him and^ent them out again shamefully marred by his cruel claws. Would you blame the mothers of town, wl^en thp men did not have' backbone" enough, if they went with clubs arid knives and destroyed the best building in the town, that had given up to him by some greedy miser who cftrod-moreJqr money than for boys, as his den? Do not forget that that is the •.! status of the liquor saloon in Kanlicensed liquor saloon has clouded the mind, and debased the heart, and deadened the affections of ihe husband anrT_fa ther. And at last, aftei twenty five years of toil and devotion, bearing and enduring such horrors as only a drunkard's wife and the tlie merciful God injbeayen'isan know, she is turned out to face old age, a poor broken and wrecked piece of hu^ manity. "What do you think such a women's feelings are about the liquor saloon? Do you wonder that she hates it? Oh, my God, no! I have n:> wonder of that sort, my only wonder is that there is a saloon left standing in America. John Brown was left to stand alone so far as influential forces were concerned, very much as is Mrs. Nation. The leading political newspapers in the . country repudiated him and called him a fool; the great politicians declared he was a fanatic or worse; most of the preachers and the churches denounced him; very few of the most rabid anti-slavery men dared to utter an outspoken word in his favor.

Third, the superabundance of alkali usually present. Wheat does best in soil that is alkaline rather than acid In reaction, but an excess of uikall becomes rery injurious. Different cereals are able t o withstand different y'Aiounts proportionally of alkali.in lMJ aoll. Barley and rye soein to tolerate a larger proportion than wheat, and the latte* will usually tolerate a larger amount than oats. Of all the cereals barley will withstand the largest amount The wheats of this district are almost always white grained, soft and extremely starchy and lack greatly in gluten content The straw is so white and clean and glistening that it is dazaling^ o the eyes in the hot sunshine. Bast on wheat is seldom injurious and in some localities is entirely unknown. Smut, however, is often present to a considerable extent. The stiffness of the straw and the absence of rain prevent the grain from ever lodging, So that harvesting may be delayed for weeks with little or no injury to the_ grain. ] "Manifestly.the greatest need of this district i s a n increase in the gluten sonteuts of the grain* While the introduction of hard grained nitrogenous sorts from other sections is at^ first an improvement, the gluten content cannot thus be materially and permanently increased.

Woodlands was a school no longer. Mra.' Tanner lived at the Manor as •chaperon to Miss Dynevor; and Lillian, thoughtful In all things, had insisted on purchasing an annuity of two hundred a year for her friend, so that, as she put it, if she did not live long Mrs. Tanner need not open a school again. Mrs. Dynevor and Kitty were often at the Manor, and loved Lillian even better than they had loved Miss London; but Harold never went there, < and when he met his cousin at Uplands treated her with a cold reserve tnat almost broke her heart. "Your brother was kinder to me when I was a poor little governess," she said to Kitty. And that damsel, then on the eve of her wedding, lectured Harold pretty sharp'.y on his manner to her favorite. "You don't understand," he said coldly. -"LUiun Is rich, we are poor, and that makes a gulf between us." "But It need not," Kitty persisted. Lillian and the twins .were her bridesmaids when the June day came that made her Mrs. Alick Craven; and somehow, when the happy pair had driven off, Harold found himself * alone in the garden with the chief bridesmaid. • "It went off very well," he remarked, "I never saw Kitty look better." "foo. I think they will be very happy," she said quietly. "I suppose yours will be the next wedding in the family, Lillian? It is high time you chose a prince consort for the Manor." ''Only that I am not going to do anything of the sort," she answered. "I thought I heard Mrs. Tanner say something about changes at the Manor." '•Yes; but they need not mean matrimony." She hesitated. "You were so kind to me in the old days, when ilrst I came to Kasthill, that I would like to tell you my plans. I am quite sure I am not fit to be a great lady, and I shoula like to feel that my life was of use to some one, so I am going to London to be trained as a hospital nurse." Lillian!" "And as my life will be spent among sick folk, you see, I shall never want t'. the Manor; and—you are the last of the. Dynevors—you would make me very happy, Harold, \,t you would go back to the old home which was to have been yours, which would have been yours if I had never been born." "LiHian, you know it is impossible!^ "I know you have shunned the Manor lately; but if it was your own?" "I have only shunned it because something it contained was growing all too dear to me. Lillian, did you ever guess my secret—that I loved you with all my heart, and but for the gulf between our fortunes I should have asked you to be my wife?" "And I thought you hated me because I was my mother's daughter." "I love you dearly; I have loved you. ever since the old days, when I thought you were only a penniless little teacher." "I wish I had been," she answered wistfully. "I don't think money has brought me much happiness. But ^ Harold, when I go to the hospital you must take the Manor; the dear old place can't be left desolate." And then Harold Dynevor's love conquered his pride. He took LillUm in his arms, and whispered that he would only take the gift with the Siver. „ And now Dynevor Manor is a happy home, and children who bear the old name make merry in the nursery Mrs. Craven had been" afraid to use. The End. A ro:0100:00.00:00o0.0.0.0.0 liesson In Astronomy It was the third week of our trip across the plains. We were now Just •ereoty-nve miles from Fremont, and expected to make it very shortly^ but -on rising I was distasted to And that one of the horses—we had only t w o - was dead lams. His had oast himself l a t h s night I was rubbing the strala- *d tendons when ths processor oame *nd stood bsnWs as* "I don't know," I said shortly. "Hand me that oil." "What is a near estimate?" he in- «mred, with a touch of mild irritation. "Surely in these days of scientific exactitude so slight a matter as the length of a horse's lameness may be computed with reasonable accuracy." "I Just wish you'd try it, then," I said, sulkily. "He may be ready tomorrow— we may have to wait two weeks—unless you want to ride the mare in. I don't mind walking." "And leave my specimens to the mercy of any Yahoo that happens along?. My dear Curtis, I could not think of it! Since there's only you and I we can make oursel¾es very comfortable. But I do hope the creature will be all right in a short tlme.^ I am anxious to be in Fremoat to study the collision of the comet with my colleague there." "Collision of the comet!" I repeated straightening up. There's nothing* so tiresome as rubbing a sprain." "Certainly! That brilliant comet to which I have called your attention for several nights, will surely collide with the earth, in a few days at farthest. The phenomenon will prove a rare and wonderful one, though astronomers have often expected such an occurrence, Unfortunately, something always seemed to interfere." "May the interference continue," I said, laughing. "I dont believe this old world will be smashed up yet awhile." "I did not say it would be smashed," returned the professor with some dignity. "The most advanced theorists agree in saying that the comet itself is now only in a gaseous form, and that now only in a gaseous form, and that " "Hallowell." I interrupted, "go and make the coffee. We can discuss gaseous comets while we eat." Three days passed, and the black was no better. As miseries never come single, his mate, a pretty mare, having the undue curiosity of hsr sex, experimented with a tempting weed, and was in a very serious condition when I found her. I dosed her with several remedies, getting little he'p from the professor. He was so busy watching a cloud that lay along the horizon that I was tempted to smash his telescope in order to bring him down to mundane affairs. Having done what i could for the poor mare, I came back to the wagon. "I don't believe she'll pull through," I said savagely. The professor squinted one eye up a little tighter. "Amazing!" he murmured. "It travels with scarcely the sped of a locomotive. I marvel the velocity is no greater—doubtless the earth's gravity exercises a controlling influence at present." Then, in a different tone, "Curtis, there's a buffalo calf coming toward us., I suppose you would not be interested if I told you of the Arrival of something really important." I took the glass out of his hand. "It's not a calf, Hallowell. It's a man—riding like the deuce. What do you reckon is the matter?'' Hallowell was from the east and was not used to southern localisms. It is impossible to reckon anythingoa so slight a basis." he answered seriously— then made a wild dive at something that floated by. When he turned to me there was a shining bubble in his hand. "The comet!" he shouted. "The collision has occurred." "Do you call that thing a comet?" I asked contemptuously. "I might say to you with Fe3tus—'Much learning hath made the mad.' " "It is a detached fragment from th3 main body of the gas," he replied, dancing triumphantly around. "The comet as a whole is that faint cloud you see yonder." "The deuce it is." I said anxiously. "We shall smother or be blown away. I remember you said something about its traveling like a train." "Not .blown away," corrected the professor. "We can take refuge in the hole by that hemlock yonder. As to our chance of smothering, I wonder you can mention such a trifle in the face of material of such overwhelming scientific interest. I think—" We were interrupted by a cry from the advancing horseman. I saw that he was using whip and spur on his mount, and that the latter instead of responding was evidently played out Indeed, as he reached us, the poor brute went down. His rider staggered up before I could lend my assistance. "For God'a sake let me have a horse!" he exclalmsd/entreatlngly. "I am on my way from X—, to Fremont, with a pardon for my brother.

He mads a rush for ths horses to satisfy himself, and came back with a gesture of despair that went to my heart. ~ "LboST^Xe- crTedT^w1IdTy7:~rriJWlnr out an envelope. "There's a life in that paper—and I have ridden—ridden —and met with one hindrance after another!" The professor looked at him pityingly. "How limited are the capabilities of the body compared with the desires of the spirit," he murmured. "I cannot bear it!" cried the stranger, frantically. "They told me that was a good horse—the liars!" He flung himself on the ground and hard, dry sobs shook his chest, The professor picked up the glass. "In less than an hour It will b3 here," he said thoughtfully. "Thank God I am not a scientist," I said rudely. "You fellows have about as much feeling as the dry bones you study." The professor ignored me, and shook the prostrate man. "Get up," he said, commandlngly, a new note in his voice. "Do as I tell you, and your brother may be saved yet." The man rose. We both utared at Hallowell. I wondered if he had really gone crazy. "Take the tongue off the wagon," he said curtly, "and spread the cover and all the cloth you can find on the ground near me." For a moment I hesitated; then It dimly occurred to me that even a bookworm might have original ideas, and I said sotto voce to thje newcomer— "Do as he says; he's by no means as big a fool as he looks." I rather think Hallowell overheard me, for he shot a distinctly ungrateful glance in my* direction, but he could say nothing, as we were both now zealously obeying him. He made us cut the great cloth cover in two large sails, and these we fastened on the wagon under his orders. "Surely—surely," I gasped, "you don't think that you can make that cloud of gas help us? Why, it's fading away!" "It is not fading," said the professor, brusquely, "it seems much fainter because you are so near it and because of the action of the sun on it. Do as I tell you—there's no time to lose." When he was satisfied he made us scramble into the wagon and we sat there, waiting for—what? Three apparently sane men in a horseless wagon, waiting for a sky motor which momentarily grew fainter! When ten minutes passed by outraged dignity asserted itself. "I won't be made a fool of," I said, angrily, and started to leave the wagon. Hallowell pushed me back on my seat. Then I became aware of a sickening odor—rflr fresh breeze on my back— a pale mist around us shot with brilliant hues, and lo! we were running over the plain at a rate that threatened to "wreck the wagon—our sails swelled out like two great wings. My hair was rapidly assuming a vertical position, but the two faces near me showed utter unconsciousness of danger. That of the stranger was burning with joy and reverent thankfulness. To him It was a God-sent miracle for a good.man's rescue 9 * SS -Theprofessor was radiant over this new factor in his knowledge and he muttered his observations aloud. Neither seemed disturbed by the fact that from the speed and the smell.breathing was no easy matter. As to me—my one hope was that I might touch o'.d earth again-safely. On, on we flew. Again and again I expected an immediate smashup, bf!t our wagon was of flue and strong make, the plain was level, and we bade fair tp reach the town shortly. In loss than two hours we were not three miles from Fremont! Then a terrible idea flashed on me which I had been too hurried to think of before. We should pass the town! Like the brook, we might go on forever— or at least far enough to wreck us on the broken lands beyond. As to the stranger, the trip would have been of no earthly use to him. "V'l shall Jump," he said simply, as if in answer to an outspoken inquiry. The professor was looking anxious but he said nothing. But we had forgotten the little river lying near the town. We struck It like a cyclone, and Its four feet of water was whipped into wild spray around us, while the wagon spun like a frantic top, then stopped with a lurch that nearly sent us flying. Either the force of our motor was lessening or perhaps, even at its best, it would not have had Urns or strength to loosen the wagon from the heavy snag driven between ths spokes, for ths pals gas rushed on, leaving three dripping man and some rates* spselmsirs In ths river, wUX I t s s s o t no; 3M yards sway. cvs$* AND gmuy*w*uaMra Upon * M | » WUlifun 4 > Tafti Bjow pwsidoof of t*» tyiUppias. oommJssion, will fill the somewhat uoeertaia honor of being the first governor to rale over ths entire Philippine archipelago in the name of tbe United States.

After a discussion of several hours on the 35th, the constitutional convention wdopted an article defining the proposed relations, namely, that Cuba would not make treaties with any country which would endanger tbe sovereignty of the republic or allow the island to be made a base of war operations against the United States or any other country. The last four words, *'or any other 'country," were added after a warm debate. The advocates of the clause maintained that Cuba should rem tin neutral, as a war carried on in the island would only result in the ruin of its agricultural in* terests, which had already suffered greatly and had not yet fully recovered. Lieut West, with a detachment of the crew of the gunboat Laguna de Bay, attacked 200 insurgents under Caballos, near Vacinta, province of Laguna. After a fight of 40 minutes the insurgents were dispersed, losing 6 killed and 14 captured. A detachment of the 47th volunteer infantry encountered a body of insurgents in the province of Amboy, killing 18, and subsequently another body, killing 9. The Americans had no casualties. A tqaad of the 18ih U. S. infantry surprised a band of Ladrones, at Moosln, Island of Panay, killing 0 and capturing 5 rifles. Gen. Gomez visited Gov.-Gen. Wood on the 26th, and assured him that the stories of unrest and dissatisfaction at the continuance of the U.

The sky wai dark and lowering; the wind swept down from the hills with a mournful, walling sound, and beneath the tall trees, that beat before the gale, lay heaps of faded yellow leaves, trodden out of all shape and beauty by the feet that ware continually traversing the harrow village paths. Upon the hills, and out on the broad CONGRESSMAN MEEKISON. OF OHIO, a, David Meekison 1B well known, lungs perfect, digestion dpi? in his own State, but through- ; America. He began his political ' by serving four consecutive as Mayor of the town in which he> lives, during whioh time he became widely known as the founder of the Hoetdson Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He whs elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large majority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his ; section <tf the State. tfpLy one' flaw marred the otherwise . complete success of this rising statesman. Catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconquered foe. For thirty yean;, he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Pe-ru-na came to the rescue, and he dictated the following letter to Dr. Rartinan as the result: "I nave used several bottles of Peruana and feel greatly benefited thereby trace my catarrh of the head. I feel > encoaraged to believe that if I use it : a abort time longer I will be able to ttttUy eradicate the disease of thirty year*' standing. Yours truly, *David Meekison.»* * ifasy people can tolerate alight catarrhal affections, A little hoarseness, * slight cough, a cold in the head, or a triding derangement of the digestive organ*, do not much disturb the average person in his business. But this is not tnie of-the public speaker or stage artist. His vol&e must always be clear. I Ohio. Miss Carrie Thomas undisturbed. Hence the popularity of Pe-ru-na among the leading actors and actresses of this country. They have come to regard Pe-ru-na as indispensable to their success. Their profession is so exacting that it req u i r e s perfect health in every particular. They regard Pe-ru^-na as their friend and safeguard. Many letters are received from this class of people. Miss Carrie Thomas, in Speaking of Pe-ru-na, says: "1 have used Pe-ru-na with splendid results. Would not be without it. No money would hire me re have a settled cold or chronic cough, or hoarseness. Catarrh is the most dreadful thing that could happen to one of my profession. Pe-ru-na is my shield and protector against this most undesirable disease." -Alarrie Thomas.

Banley, lying far inland, was one of those primitive little places where the sound of the railway whistle had never come. There was a branch line, it is true, some twelve miles away, but few of its passengers ever found their way across the hills, and few of the inhabitants of Banley had seen the station, or tested the capabilities of the wondrous iron horse. Those who had done so, having returned in safety, became oracles among their neighbors, as people of deep experience, and one word of theirs outweighed a score from others, who had not seen the world." The village, like most of the kind, consisted pf a straggling street of cottages, with gay flower-gardens in front and an enclosure or Kitchen, vegetables and a few fruit trees, at the back. There was a church and a parsonage, II: is true, but the vicar was non-resident, being more deeply interested in the conversion of Irish Catholics than ia the religious state of English Pro testants, albeit they were of his own tiockv Consequently the vicarage was shut up, and a consumptive curate with a sickly wife and a family of seven children, living in a cottage at the Tipper end of the village, keeping UP an' pearances—by means known- only tq curates and their wives on the pltifn salary of one hundred pounds-- a year. Anxious and careworn enough the pair often looked, but they loved each other dearly, and were* beloved! by every one around, EO it may be that their fate was not a hard one, after a*Y The curate and hfs wife*,, poor though they might be, were the> only people in the village who could properely be designated "gentlefolks." The Lord of the Manor was non-resident, the Manor House itself being anything but a desirable home. If aH was true tnat was told of tne sights and sounds tuat nad been seen and heard there at different times by different people the poor man was very wise in not coming to look after his property ingorsonv Hollow Ash Hall was a1 haunted house. It stood at some distance* from- the village, upon a green and fertile eminence, shut out from the common approach, though not from common view, by a high stone wall and a lofty pate of iron gates. There were a. porteVh lodge, untenanted, of course; and! a small cottage within the ground*, which had once been occupied by saase humble dependent of the family, in the day when that family was numerous and happy, and strongly united ep the thousand sweet tiea that bind a loving heart to home. Seen from the public road, the Hall was simply a square, brlck>froc*** English mansion, of the ordinary type, comfortably and conveniently built, with stables, green houses,, gardens and conservatories, enough.to satisfy all the requirements of modern polite society: The yew trees at the hack, and the long, bare lawn inVftaeat, gave it a melancholy appearance?, trat no one would have dreamed' off calling it a haunted house had they not aeen told that it had an undoubted: right to the name. There was not eveaia hollow ash tree in view, to account for its unusable title. But the villagers, when questioned upon the subject, would look wiBe, and lead yoa to the top of a narrow, damp lane, where grew a solitary tree, that had been touched by the scathing finger of the lightning on its mission of destruction and death. That was "Hollow Ash," and that was the "Burnt Ash Lane;" down which lane, as a sort of "short cut" to the scene of their uncanny; revels, it may be, strange flgareav were said to flit ae soon aa the clock from the neighboring church had tolled the hour of twelve. Not only one ghost.haunted the place -there were at least three or four; Ad their names were more familiar to tha penene who owned the manor than 0 any curious stranger who sought to pry Uto its accrete. But i t must have been a bold man or woman who would have dared to ask a Ver- "wearing their hearts upon' their sleeve*." And ir'there was' onV subject upon which they wart more silent and reserved than another, it wai that of the haunted manor. They left it; they could not bear to* talk of tt; and so the mystery grew by fencing upon itself, till stories were told of the place that would have, man*,the hair of the bravest aad wlstst, listener* stand upon end with horror. * It may easily be Imagined what a highway, the scene was dreary enough. ' commotion Banley was in, one day, .w when the tidings spread abroad that a gentleman direct from London wa3 about to rent the Halt People stared at their neighbors *ad shook their heads. It could not be; unless the newcomers hailed from Colney Hatch or Haawell, he could not, for a moment, be thinking of such> a truing But the news was confirmed in the afternoon by no less a person than the landlord of the "Vernon Arms," who recited to a group of eager and' thirsty listeners his wondrous tale: The family- from London were, at that moment, beneath his roof. So far from being" denizens of a lunatic asylum, they were most respectable people a city banker, his wife and two daughters, who came down for a change of air, and seeing a fine house standing empty, naturally enough concluded that it was to let. So, at the "Vernon Arms," in an after-dinner chat with their host, they managed to ask numerous questions about the mansion on the hill. He answered them truthfully; but he added, with a shake of the head, as expressive as Lord Burleigh's, "He wished, no harm might coine of It," for they laughed at the idea of ghosts, and one of the young ladles begged so hard to live in a real haunted house that her papa had actually sent for the agent. The landlord laughed, drew a long breath, and solaced himself with a great draught of his own al«. At that moment the agent himself was seen descending the stairs; the landlord, hurrying from behind the barr threw the door wide open, with a low bow. But Mr. Grant declined the polfte invitation, beckoned him out into the pasage, and closed the door upon the gaping and 4isappointed rustics* "I want t» speak to yoit a moment, Grimas," he said, impatiently. "Is there MO private place in this house?" "Tose sure>—to fissure, sir/* replied the hovt "Step this waqrP if you pleaaev Becky, nay love, pcay go and mind the bar a little while;. We want tie parlor to e*trseives just sow.** Becky, who was the meek-faced mistress, of the establishment, feeing thus addressed, took up the stacking she was mending and went outt without a marmux. The landlord erased the decsr bshlBd her; and. the a»mt nodded approvingly. "Capital training you harae her in, Mr. Grimes.'* "WelL sir, one's obliged' fee keep the wkiphand or there's no enxj of kl over traces, yon know.

Grimes, and I want some advice." ' Grimes, who had been busy over the fire with some mysterioaas preparatiCn, which the agent affected not to see, now returned to the table, bearing two steaming tumblers of rum-punch, which he put down wHh an air of triumphant self-satisfaction. "I do believe, the very best I ever made yet, Mr. Grant.**, he observed, as he placed one cosy arm-chair before the fire for his visitor, and ensconced his own plump person comfortably within the depths.of another. "Good it must.be, then, to a dead ceTtainty^, replied' the agent, tttking a long, deliclbufj draught. "Enough to make a man forget one-half hia troubles and snap hia finger at the> scat" "I hope i t wtll make yott forget yours, then, sir," replied the mndload, who was dytag with curiosity to know why he had been summoned? to this particular conference. -, "Ah, a«* sstch luck aa that! t h e trouble tonight is not eaaetly a trouble, after att.

The Onst of Oceaa. A "dusty" ocean highway sounds almost incredible. Yet those who are familiar with sailing ships know that no matter bow carefully the decks may be washed down in the morning and how little work of any kind may ! done during the day nevertheless If tut* decks are not swept at nightCali an enormous quantity of dust will quickly collect. Of coarse on the modern "liner" tfie burning of hundreds of tons of coal every 24 hours and the myriads of footfalls daily would account for a considerable accumulation of dust, but on a "wind jammer." manned with a dozen hands or less, no such dust producing agencies are nt work. And yet the records of sailing ships show that they collect more sea dust than does a steamer, which IS probably accounted * , . , , for by the fact that while the dust a f e w d a y s a f t e r w a r d s , o n b e i n g ! laden smoke blows clear of the steamer ' t h e large area of canvas spread by the r acta as a dust collector.—Mari- Nlter In Maple Sugar.

C CUiwrtcSolONtA L NOTES* One of the most notable occurrences in the history of congressional legislation marked the closing hours of the t u t session of the senate of the 56th congress, Senator Carter, of Montana, signalized his retirement from the senate after six years of brilliant service, by talking the river and harbor bill to death. He occupied the senate floor for nearly 13 consecutive hours, although in the aggregate about three hours of that time were devoted to other business. The Hay-Pauncefote treaty, intended to replace the Clayton-Bui wer treaty, relative to the construction of isthmian waterways, died at noon on the 4th. The death was caused technically by the fact that the last clause of the treaty allowed only the period of time up to March 4 for its ratification. Neither the government of the United States nor of Great Britain appears to have made any formal effort to extend that period. President McKinley affixed his signature to about 100 bills passed by congress while he was at the capitol on the 4th. The greater portion of them were of a private character. The total appropriations of the 56th congress amounted to $1,440,062,545, •but of this amount 930,000,000 may not be spent. CUBA AND PHILIPPINE &EWS. A dispatch from Manila, dated the 4th, saya Protesio Monte jar, leader of the insurgent forces, on the island of Panay, with several officers, 45 men and 38 rifles, have surrendered to Capt. Barker of the 26th. Fifteen ex-insui"- gent leaders and 500 followers took the oath of allegiance U» the United States at Conception, Island of Panay, and 200 more promise soon to swear fealty. This extinguishes the rebellion in that district 'Four thousand five hundred insurgent prisoners are now held at Manila. The new prison on Grande island, in Subig bay, 00 miles west of Manila, has been completed, and 1,000 prisoners will be sent there from Manila on March 7. The provincial officers of the provinces of Bulacan and Bataan have taken the oath ef office before the commission. A dispatch from Manila, dated the f>Ui, says a wagon train an.l a detachment of the signal corps, together with six Macabcebe scouts, were attacked by the insurgents about midwa3' between the towns of Silang and Dasmarinas in Cavitc province. Three Americans were killed and two of the Macabeebe scouts wounded while one man is missing. Four horses and one mule were killed. Capt. Mair, with detachments of infantry and cavalry from Silang arrived at the scene of the surprise too late to intercept the enemy's retreat. The character of some of the meas urea which the commissioners are privately considering indicates their expeo tatiou of the early establishment of the general civil government. Whether President McKinley and Secretary Root are in full accord with them regarding the province of Bataan, with 180 marines, capturing % insurgent officers and 14 men, taking 26 rifles and destroying 14,000 bushels of rice and 104 caraboas. The insurgent colonel, Cristobal, has surrendered at Naic, province of Cavite, with 2 officers and 12 men. He handed over 1% rifles to the Americans. Gen. MacArthur has informed the war department ,of his action in the case of Mariano Dreu, a lieutenantcolonel of insurgents, who was convicted by a military commission at Manila of robbing unoffending natives, and of violations of the laws of war, and sentenced to confinement at hard labor for 15 yean, The 35th D. S. volunteer infantry arrived at Manila on the 3d from the province of Bulacan, an* will probably Mil for ^6me~MuTC^-+*~on the transport Thomas. American troops are scouting for Aguiaaldo, who is supposed to be in hiding on the eastern coast of Luzon. The battalion of the 5tn cavalry stationed, at Fort Myer, Va., will soon leave for San Francisco to embark on the transport Meade for the Philippines. Plans Ball la Fttthotp*.

Monthly Crop BnlleUa. In the Michigan crop report for March, issued by Secretary of State Warnnr on the 8th, the statement is made that the fields of the state have been very generally covered with snow during the past month, and the temperature has been about 10 degrees below normal, making the month one of the coldest Februarys in many years. Only 13 out of a total of 078 correspondents reported that wheat wavinjured during the month from any cause, snow protecting the crop in the state for an average of 3.96 weeks during the month. Live stock throughout, the state is thrifty and in good condition, the average for horses and sheep being 96, cattle 95 and swine 97. Game Warden's Report for February. Game Warden Morse reports that the work of his department for February has been principally in the inland waters relative to alleged violatioas of the fish laws, most of which were for the illegal taking of trout and the spearing of black bass. A total of 88 complaints were investigated, and resulted in the instituting of 38 prosecutions, 11 being for violations of the game laws and 27 for violations of the fish laws. The result was 1G convictions, 1 acquittal, 10 dismissals and 11 cases still pending. Two jail sentences without the alternative of a fine were imposed, and fines of 42 imposed. There were nine seizures of property of the value of 8184. sar. • * r mm X S mocked bjr lee; A dispatch from.

For some ypars past the fanners of Wexford and the neighboring counties have gone in for potato raising to the exclusion of everything else, with the result that many of them have now abandoned their farms because of the loss through heavy overproduction and a consequent dead market and inability to sell their crops. The conservative ones are now advocating the abandonment of the gct-rich-quick plau.pf potato raising, and the adoption of a system whereby a few acres of potatoes are planted ever year instead of planting an entire farm with the tubers, to the exclusion of frops that are sometimes more profitable than potatoes.

After the various committees were appointed the convention took a recess for a couple of hours. Up to this time there had been very little talk as to who would be named for the supreme court justiceship. Apparently only Judge O'Hara, of Benton Harbor, wanted the nomination, but the friends of Judge Adsit were determined that he should have it. Votes were not soliccited, and delegates cast their vote without having pledged themselves to anybody. Considerable talk took place after the above gentlemen had been nominated, and before the ballot was taken, it looked as though the Benton Harbor man had a walk-away, as Judge AdBit had Instructed a delegate not to allow his name to be used. When the vote was taken i t . was fottnd that the Grand Rapids man was the choice of the convention by a good majority. The convention then proceeded to nominate two candidates for regents. Dr. Welsh, of Benton Harbor, was a candidate, but was beaten out by Shields and Goldsmith. A long resolution of regret was adopted at the withdiawal of Chairman Campau, and several Democrats from various parts of the state said many kind things about him. Justin R. Whiting, of St. Clair, being the choice of the convention, will succeed Mr. Campau as chairman of the state committee. The Platform. Sincerely twlicvluj? in the principles of democracy us laid down In the "Declaration ot Independence," the Democratic party of the state of Michigan, in ix nvention assembled, solemnly reasserts its faith in a jrovcrnment by the people direct and its unalterable opposition to another form of government. Events have demonstrated that nil reforms in financial, industrial and commercial nelds are doomed to remain in a state of theory until our governmental machinery has been reformed so that the will of the people and no longer the self interest of u privileged few shall enact the law. As citizens of thiscommonwealth, we deeply deplore that the corrupting influence of those seeking special privileges has suweeded in contaminating our government to such an extent that even the appearance of common decency has been dropped as being superfluous, and we have been confronted with the sad spectacle that the most exalted official in the state openly aided and abetted the thieves appointed by him and cast uaperution on a court accused of meting out punishment for factional hatred under the guise of Justice. We remind our fellow citizens that corruption in our legislative halls has become so apparent that a grand jury found it necessary to Indict not only some of the members, but also, the speaker of the house of representatives, and though the evidence against them was convincing, they all so far have escaped trial. We remind the electors of the commonwealth that a few individuals, who found their way into the senate, were enabled in protecting "vested rights" of wealthy corporations to defy the outspoken^ will of the people, and that "equal taxation" is nothing bnt a theory today: and we repeat our warning that unless the people obtain a direct control over the law which governs them, tnsfr welfare and the perpetuity of their remainlnjrfreG institutions must inevitably suffer until all of liberty be lost. In view of this impending crisis, we call upon our Tellow citizens to set aside, as we do. all pr ecniecft oWOTtfirnltarwtth ns- fo~ the- ©ne--<te— mand that the constitution of the state of Michigan be amended so as to provide thut a reasonable number of people, say ft per cent of qualified- voters on statutory law, or 10 per cent on constitutional amendments, by tiling a petition with the proper official, may demand that the matter petitioned for, shall be submitted to a voir, nt t.hft pnnpln fnr iirlnpi.tnn nr rgfopHfln; ftt the next election.

ON VERGE OF INSANITY. Mrs. E. A. Deacon Tells of » Case W h i r * • Lady Wa« fa ThU Serloua Condition, bttt «••• Saved. East Randolph, N. Y., March 11.— (Special.)—Mrs. E. A. Deacon of this town Is Vice-President of the local Women's Christian Temperance Union. She is a lady of splendid capabilities, and these she has always directed towards the uplifting of humanity. What Mrs. Deacon says is accepted in Bast Randolph without question. No one has ever doubted her truthfulness or honesty of purpose. Mrs. Deacon says: "My attention was first called to the remarkable curative value of Dodd's Kidney Pills, through the cure of a literary lady who was a friend of mine, and who from mental overwork was on the verge of insanity. After the failure of her physician to help her, her hue band was advised to have her try Dodd's Kidney Pills, which she did with gratifying results. She used five boxes before she was completely cured, but at the end of two months' treatment, she was her own happy, brilliant self once more. "Feeling languid and worn out myself, I thought they would perhaps be a help to me, and T^m^eyy^Iad^Tb^say that two boxes made a new woman of me. I feel ten years younger, am in the very best of health, and appreciats that it was entirely through the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I give them highest Indorsement." , These cases are becoming very common in Cattaraugus County, and many ladies have had experiences similar to those of Mrs. Deacon and her friend. What Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for these suffering women, they will do for anyone who gives them a fair trial. They are 50c. a box, six boxes for $2.50. Buy them from your local druggist if you can. If he cannot supply you, send to the Dodd's Medicine Co., Buffalo. N.

It Is commonly known to the medical fraternity that the numerous ailments and complications which follow the grip are apt to be more serious than the acute stage of the dfurate,r_ v Some people have the grip very lightly. They may be confined to the house only a day or two and yet a long train of disagreeable, disabling symptoms follow. All sorts of tonics and stimulating remedies have been devised to meet this condition. None of them can compare In results with Peruna. Every one who has had the grip ought to take a short course of Peruna. Read what the following people have to say about It Washington, Feb. 4, 18&9. The Peruna Medicine Co.,Columbus, 0.: Gentlemen—«"I Congressman Howard. am very much relieved. I feel that my cure will he perma? nent. I have also taken it for la grippe, and take pleasure in recommen d i n g Peruna as an excellent remedy to all fellow sufferers."— M. W. Howard. Congressman Howard's home address is Fort Payne, Ala. Grin Produces Catarrh. Henry Distln, the , Inventor and maker of all the band instruments for the Henry Distln Mfg. Co., at Williamsport, Pa., writes: 1441 South Ninth Street, Philadelphia, Pa., May 6, 1899. Dr. S. B. Hartman, Dear Sir:—"I •wrice to inform you that I had a had attack of la grippe last December which lasted more than three months and which left me with catarrh, when several of my friends advised me to try your wonderful medicine,- Peruna. I began with a bottle the first week in March and it certainly did me a great deal of good. * I was so well satisfied that I purchased another bottle and followed your directions, which you furnish with every bottle, and I am glad to say that it has cured me. I shall certainly recommend the Peruna to all my friends." D. D. Wallace, a charter member of the International Barber's Union writes from 15 Western ave., Minneapolis, Minn. "Following a severe attack of la grippe I fieemed to be affected badly all over. I suffered with a severe backache, indigestion and numerous ills, so I could rieither eat nor sleep, and I thought I would give up my work, which I could not afford to do. "One of my customers who was greatly helped by Peruna advised me to try it, and I procured a bottle the came day. I used it faithfully and felt a marked improvement. During the next two months I took five bottles, and then felt splendid. Now my bead is clear, my nerves are steady, I ^njoy food, and rest well. Peruna has Been worth a dollar a dose to me."— D .

I took three bottles of Peruna w i t h very beneficial results and was able to leave my my bed In a F r a n c e i M. Anderson, week, and regained my usual strength very soon. I have nothing but the highest praise for Peruna and recommend it to thost similarly afflicted wherever I Frances M. Anderson. can."— Grip Poisoned Her Blood. Mrs. T. W. Collins, Treasurer of the Independent Order; of Good Templars of Everett, Wash., writes: "After having a severe attack of la grippe I continued in a feeble condition even after the doctor called me cured. My blood seemed poisoned. "I also suffered with dyspepsia, and had either to starve or suffer from what I was eating. A neighbor who was using Peruna praised it so highly that she induced me to try It; and I soon found this was what I really needed. "I could soon eat my regular meals with relish, my system was built up, my health returned,, and I have remained in excellent strength and vigor now for over two years."—Mrs. T. W. Collins. Miss Alice Dressier, of 1313 N. Bryant ave., Minneapolis, Minn., writes as follows concerning Peruna: "Last spring I suffered from la grippe and was partially cured, but the bacTaTter-eflects remained through the summer and somehow I did not get as strong as I was before. "In the fall I caught cold after getting my feet wet and attending a lecture in a cold hall, and suffered a relapse. Catarrh of the throat and head followed, and as I was in a weak condition physically previous to this, it took but little to break me down completely. One of my college Mends, who was visiting me, asked me to try Peruna and I did so and found it all and more than I had expected. It not only cured me of the catarrh, but restored me to perfect health."—Alice Dressier. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement ol your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

S, and other powers to induce Russia to abandon the Manchurian convention. The Pekln correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger gives statistics killed during the troubles, exclusive of the Pekin siege. He enumerates 118 Englishmen, 79 Americans, Swedes and Norwegians, 2(3 Frenchmen, 11 Belgians, 10 Italians and Swiss, and 1 German. It is estimated that 30,000 native Christians perished. Friction has arisen at Tien Tsin between the British and the Russians over a piece of land alleged t o belong to the railway company and to have in possession of the company for some years. According to dispatches from Tien Tsin the Russians assert that this land is part of their new concession and therefore Russian property. Mr. Kinder, manager of the railway had begun to make a sidinp, but was stopped by the Russian authorities. He appealed to CoL McDonald, who referred the mutter to Gen. Barrow, British chief of staff in l'ekin, who replied: "Carry on the siding with armed force, if necessary." A general meeting of the foreign ministers was held on the 12th. There is strenuous opposition against demanding many more h«ads, but a list of 96 minor officials will be presented to Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang to be tried for complicity in the outrages and punished in such manner as the Chinese themselves see fit, except in the case of six men, who the ministers thinic should be excited. A dispatch from Gen. Kitchener, dated Pretoria, March 12, says Gen. DeWet is north of Brandfort, Orange river colony. Continuous rains have interfered with the movements of the troops in Cape Colony. Two bands of Boers are bein<? hunted among the hills by troops under Gorringe, Del isle, Grenfell and Uenniker. U. S. Minister Conger left Pekin for the U. S. on the 11th. All the foreign ministers bade him farewell at the railway station. Besides the foreign representatives a large crowd gathered at the station to bid the minister and his family good bye. The German war office received the following from Count von Waldersee on the 12th: In the fight west of Suling Pass we had only one slightly wounded. The Chinese left 250 dead on the field. A Noted Boston Woman Describes its Symptoms and Terrors.—Two Severe Oases Cured by Lydia K Pinkham's Vegetable OompouncL " I am so nervous! no one ever suffered as I do! There^ isn't a well inch in my body. I honestly believe my lungs are diseased, my chest pains me so, but I have no cough. I am so weak at my stomach, and have indigestion terribly, and palpitation of thelieart; am losing nesh;^ and backache nearly kills me, and yesterday I had hysterics. " There is a weight in the lower part of my bowels, bearing down all the time, with pains in my groins and thighs — l can't sleep, walk, or sit,, and blue — oh goodness I I am simply the most miserable of women." This is a most vivid description of a woman Buffering with nervous prostration, caused by inflammation or some other diseased condition of the womb. No woman should allow herself to reach such a perfection of misery when there is no need of it. Read about Mia* Williamson's case and how she was cured. Two Bad Cases of Nervous Prostration Oured* "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM ; — I was suffering such tortures from nervous prostration that life was a burden. I could not sleep at all, and was too weak to walk across1 the floor. My heart was affected so that often I could not lie down at all without almost suffocating. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it worked like magic. I feel that your medicine has been of inestimable benefit to me." Miss A D E L K W I L L I A M S O N . 190 N. Houlevard, A t l a n t a , Oa. "I had nervous prostration terribly, caused by female weakness. I suffered everything; was unable to eat, sleep> or work. After a while I was induced to try Lydia E.

Gria Dvory Spring it is noticeable how tnaay people »re taken away that wo nave b«en accuatomed to see In ovr dally life. Statistic* ahow that at no other season of the year does so many deaths occur. . Especially large is tire mortality -among weak and sickly people. The reason for this is apparent The t» body that is weakened by age or dis- # ease has much to contend with during* the Winter months. Insufficient exercise frequently has been taken. Too much starchy and fatty foods have been eaten. The system haa, been allowed to become run down, and when Spring come* with ite bright, sunshiny days, older people will begin •o realize that' their vitality has become very low. The same thing is 'true of people who are naturally sickly and weak. This is the season of the year When even a strong person feels at his worst. That tired, restless feeling is experienced by too .many. There need not be as many deaths this year as usually take place. A little care will "ward off many Spring funeraJs. If one is weak or ailing they should take time by the forelock and take Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. This great medicine has been in many cases, and will con- < 'flnue to be, the means by which the black angel of Death has been driven from the threshold. It dispels the grim destroyer in a scientific way, for it purifies the blood and gives strength and vitality to the nerves. It tones up and restores to a healthy condition all of the great life-giving organs o\ the body. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy will enable those who take it to throw off little ills that prove dangerous only when they attack _a_system_already wasted and weakened. Prom many people, who have experienced benefit from this greatest of ail llfe-lengtheners, comes the following from the famous General Longstreet of 1217 New Hampshire Ave., Washington, D. C. He says: "It giv\s me great pleasure, to add •my testimony with many others for Dr. Greene's Remedy, which I have used with highly beneficial results, and J. am able to recommend its virtues from experience. I have used it for catarrh and have derived help." Mr. Wellington Hynes, Elisabethtown, N. Y.. WTltes: "I feel It my duty to tell how much- other hand, revels in splendor good Dr. Greene's Nervura has done me. I was so run down that I could not sleep at night and everything worried me. I had no appetite and could not work, my head ached all the time and there was an all-gone feeling In my stomach, and I was always looking on the dark side of everything. I began to take Dr. Gffcene*s Nervura blood and nerve remedy and in less than three weeks I felt like a new man. I can now do as much work as is expected of a man my age. I advise anyone who is troubled to take Dr. Greene's Nervura. Do not go to a doctor but get a bottle of Dr. Greene's Nervura. It Is cheaper than a doctor's bill." The latter part of Mr. Hynes' advice might be profitably disregardad, however, if you should feel you would like the advice of a physician. You -can have such advice and* have it free if you will write or call on the greatest known blood and nerve specialist, Dr. Greene. 35 W. 14th St, New York Citv.

Well* * Co., URoy, N.Y, Trlfef WHIPPING POST. Chief Justice of Dtlaware la Vavo* of Tbftt Mode erf Fnaishnaent The good people of Delaware are one* more discussing the advisability of abolishing the whipping post, says Leslie's Weekly. This state is the only one 1r>flt<HrHrm a y . ^'•^P^W^PW^yw^^^W^B'WaT^^eSWPW^^^ lata, but there are many good reasons for beMevteg that this method of punishing criminals might well be extended elsewhere. Some of the ablest and most enlightened jurist* are of the opinion that the lash is a more fitting and affective method of dealing with certain petty criminals than any other that has ever been devised. It is a noteworthy fact that Chief Justice Charles B. Lore, of Delaware, Is himself strongly In favor of retaining the whipping post. "In order that poeticjustice may be done," says Judge Lore, "I think a man who whips his wife ought to be whipped. I would have the wife whip him if I could get her to do it, and I would like to stand beside her when she performed the ceremony. In the 40 year8 of my experience fully onethird of the criminals coming before the court have been non-residents. If they had been sentenced to be whipped I have not heard of a single instance of one returning to Delaware after receiving his punishment Therefore the whipping post, in my opinion, is most effective." This is strong and valuable testimony in favor of the lash by one who knows whereof he speaks. We have no doubt whatever that it would be a good thing to set up a whipping post in every state in the union. .A sound flogging is the best and most effective medicine that can be administered, not only to wife-beaters, but to wife-deserters, kidnapers and lazy and vicious vagrants. It Is the only kind of punishment that would have any deterrent effect on creatures of this sort. Oa?ea4e4 by M septal a Kay* The court of Laoeanae reoently rta- Atxoi a very important decision, which if thought to strike at personal liberty. An Italian woman rented a room In that elty. A few months later she departed, leaving behind her a box containing wearing apparel. Intending ta return for her property she took the key of the room with her. A short time afterward she removed her trunk, but forgot to return the key of the room to the landlady. For this "offenser" she was sentenced to seven days/ Imprisonment.

The educational structure for which, taking advantage of the toleration of government, the hedge schoolmaster abandoned his al fresco establishment, was a very humble one of its kind. The peasantry, animated by the strong Irish l&Ye^oMejunnlnjg', built It fw him, Just as In modern days they assemble and build huts for evicted tenants. It was not a very formidable undertaking. A deep, dry ditch or trench by the roadside was usually selected for the site. At the side of the trench an excavation of the requisite area was dug, so that the clay bank formed three sides of the inclosure. This saved the trouble of building walls. Then the fourth side, or front side wall, with a door and two windows, was built of green sods laid in courses, while similar sods raised the back to the required height and pointed the gable ends. Young trees and wattles cut. from the nearest wood and bound, together with straw ropes and withos tormoU the roof timbers, Oyer those wore spread brambles, then ctunc a layer of "scraws." or slabs of boa I thy bojr surface, and over all ii thatching of rushes. The eartheu floor was pa rod to au approach to a level, the rubbish chared away, and n pathway made to the public road. There was your hedge schoolhouse, ready for business— Ponahoe'a liegaalne.

HOne of the strangest things In life," said an amateur philosopher of Camp street, "is the fact that we never really become acquainted with our physical selves. Here I have been living in this body of mine for nearly 50 years, yet 1 have no idea how 1 look, bow I bear myself, what sort of an impression I make on the minds of others when they meet me In daily intercourse, 1 don't even know how my own voice sounds, nlthough I've been listening to It ever since 1 can remember. Did yon ever hear yourself talk in a phono graph? NoV Well, try it the next time you have a chance, and yon will not only be astonished but. win:t is still stranger, you w . L»C lisappohidd. probably a little shocked. Everybody has that experience. "I supposed that I was perfectly familiar with my own voice and thought privately that it wns rather agreeable. I had been told 60 plenty of times by -«thpr people and never knew th: t they were on^y 'jollying' me until I m a ^ a phonographic 'record' and set it grinding. At the first word I jumped back in dismay and nearly pulled my ears off in the listening tubes. " 'Merciful heavens T I said to myself. 'Is it possible 1 talk like that? I thought there must be something the matter with tbe cylinder and called in a friend to hear it. He grinned with 'delight 'That's one of the most natural records 1 ever heard in my life,' he declared heartily, and I yearned for his gore. "But. as 1 just remarked, everybody who tries the experiment has the same experience. The voice <is nlwoys absolutely unfamiliar and positively unpleasant. Yet there is a certain something about It that differentiates 1t from any other voice } . ever heard in your life — something indescribable that gives you a little secret thrill clear down to the soles of your feet.

He says: "Tests frequently made show conclusively that a larger yield of carrots can be obtained from Rhode Island and Connecticut grown seed than from th* best Imported." An investigator of the seed growing industry reports that all corn, celery, lettuce, onion, melon, tomato, pepper, squash and pumpkin seeds used in the United States are home grown. All the cucumber seed except that of the French varieties is produced here, as is nearly all the eggplant and kale and a great deal of the beet seed. Sugar beet seed is grown to a limited extent. The best Brussels sprouts seed is grown here, most of the okra and a great deal of the parsley, mustard and spinach. Radish is grown to some extent, especially about Philadelphia, but many dealers do not consider American seed, at least of the small early sorts, equal to the best Imported. Many other kinds are raised in a small way, but growers cannot compete with the cheaper imported seed. —There is unfortunately a great demand for cheap seeds, and low grades of many sorts can be imported more profitably than they can be produced by the American grower. Garden seeds are grown in most of the northern and western states and a few in the south. Many kinds are largely produced in certain favorable sections, as beans in New York state, jcabbage on Long Island, peas in Canada, Michigan and Wisconsin; vine seeds in Nebraska and onion, lettuce and sweet peas in California. The value of a locality for seed growing depends upon favorable soil and climatic conditions and upon the* supply nf-cneap labor at harvest time.—Lack of labor often prevents the profitable culture of seed in places where conditions of soli and climate are favorable. In general it is the practice of the teed trade to grow plants for seed purposes where the product attains the PK1ZK HEAD LBTTUCK. (Upper plant from carelessly grown seed; lowar plant from properly grown seed.] greatest degree of perfection. Seedsmen know where to look for the best seed as well as for the cheap grades, and when tUey have a discriminating trade they do uot handle seed of questionable pedigree. Certain localities are specially adapted to certain varieties. Onion seed grown in Southport, Conn., tends to produce round bulbs, while that growu at Wethersrteld, in the same state, produces flat ones. A source of loss to seed growers IS the destruction of plants not true to type. When seeds are carefully grown, tbe ft eld 8 are "rogued" so that only plants showing the characteristics of the variety are left. The remainder, no matter how good they may be otherwise, are discarded. This is a source of loss, and when seeds are grown cheaply It is avoided by permitting every plant to produce seed. The poorest •lants, as they come nearest the wild type, will usually yield toe most seed, bat these seeds will In turn produce plants that will disappoint the most eveHst mdgsjr, Tfef. -.i«8ttljatt na» i in up il li enow* IB tne upper figgr* * lettuce plant raised trotth cejeMMfty frown seed end hftneath It the snm# variety.

Gen, Benjamin Harrison died at his home in Indianapolis a t 4:45 o'clock on the afternoon of the 13th without regaining consciousness. His death was quiet and painless, there being a gradual sinking until the end came, which was marked by a single gasp for breath as life departed from the body of the great statesman. Gen. Harrison had been in a semi-conscious condition for ill mi.miaul Happenings of the Week Briefly Related. 30TH REGIMENT HOME AGAIN. ,An Interesting Batch of Michigan Items Prepared for Quick Reading for Buy Mtchlganders—Amendment* to the Constitution Most be on Separate Ballots. THE LATE BENJAMIN HABBISOK. two days, and at no time was he able to recognize any of the anxious members of his household who were at his bedside during the last long hours. Immediately upon the receipt of the news of Gen. Harrison's death GOT. Durbin, of Indiana, ordered the flagon the state house to be put at half-mast and similar tokens of regard for the distinguished dead were shown at the federal building and at numerous private buildings. According to the funeral plans <5en. Harrison's remains will lie in state at the state capitol on the 16th and the funeral will occur the day following. Began Life on m Trnrm.' Benjamin Harrison, grandson of the ninth president, lived the life of a farmer's boy at his home at North Bend, 0. He lived in a little farmhouse, tumbled out of bed between 4 and 6 o'clock in the morning to do the "chorea" and be raking hay or "dropping" corn or potatoes by the time the sun was up. in summer he ran the usual risk to stone bruises and stubbed toes as the other boys of the district, and in winter tramped two miles to school and played "bull pen" with as much enthusiasm as the other boys. He* studied law, became colonel of a regiment in the civil war, won promotion In battle, and was defeated for governor of Indiana in 1876. In ,1880, as chairman of the Indiana delegation io-the Republican Nallonal conventK he cast the entire vote of the state for James A. Garfield for president President Garfield offered him a place in his cabinet, but he declined. Elected President. In 1888, when the national convention was held in Chicago, he was nominated for the presidency, and elected to that high office that year. Views cm PnbJle Questions.. Seme of his comments on various government problems are as follows: —Civil service reform:—^1 am an advocate of civil service reform. My brief experience at Washington has led me to utter tb* wish, with an emphasis I do net often use, that I might* be forever relieved of any connection with the distribution of public patronage. It is easy for theorists to make suggestions on this subject, which in their opinion would cure 1 existing evils. I assure them it is acre difficult to frame a law that shall be safe and practical in Its application." The navy; MI am in favor of puting upon the sea enough American ships, armed with the most approved ordnance, to enforce the just rights of our people against any foi.Ign aggressor. It is a good thing la the interests of peace and commerce to show the flag of our navy in the ports where Ike flag of commerce is unfur.jd." Trusts: "We must find tome way to stop such combinations.'* WHAT VEOBTABLES TO EAT. Asparagus is very cooling and easily digested. Turnip tops are invaluable when young and tender. Watercresses are excellent tonic, stomachic and cooling. Celery is delicious cooked and good for rheumatic and gouty people. Tomatoes are health-giving and purifying, either eaten raw or cooked. Onions are good for chest ailments and colds, but do not agree with all. Lettuces are very wholesome. They are slightly narcotic and lull and calm the mind- Spinach Is particularly good for rheumsllsni and gout, and also in kidney diseases, Beetroot 1s very cooling and highly nutritions, owing to the amount of iteofttait' Will Plncree so Down in His Own Pocket T Attorney-General Oren has filed his brief in the supreme court la the case brought by Juilge Edward Cahill for a mandamus to compel the board of state auditors to allow his claim for legal services rendered ex-Gov. Pingree during several special sessions of the legislature. Mr. Oren appears for the and opposes the granting of the mandamus. ' He states the facts to be that Judge Cahill was employed by the governor without knowledge of the attorney-general, and without the latter'B consent, either expressed or implied; that the attorney-general was in no way disqualified to perform such services and was at all times, during the period in which they were rendered, accessible; that the auditors determined that the services were not rendered under such extraordinary circumstances as would justify the executive in employing counsel independent of the attorney-general, and that therefore no claim against the state was created. MINOR MICHIQAN MATTERS. Capao is to have a chicory plant All slot machines at Niles must go. Horse thieves are operating at Buchanan. One case of smallpox is reported at 30th Regiment Home Again. The transport Hancock, carrying the 30th regiment, Col. Gardener's, which is made up of volunteers from Michigan and Illinois, arrived at San Francisco on the 13th and was sent to quarantine. The government tug Slocum, with army officers from the Presidio, and a delegation from the local colony of Michigan and Illinois people, went out to the Hancock as soon as she got the quarantine tug's signal to come alongside. The soldiers were given a very cordial greeting. There were no deaths on the voyage and the health of the command is above the average. The voyage was a pleasant one and the soldiers are happy over the fact that it was made in quick time. There were in all 875 people on board, of which number 26 are army oflieers, 738 noncommissioned officers and men of the Thirtieth volunteers. The Hancock also brought 72 prisoners and discharged soldiers who were deported on a military order. . • An Exciting' Time at Hudson. One of the most excitia^ scenes that has ever taken place in Hudson was witnessed there on the afternoon of March llth when four alleged safe blowers who robbed a West Toledo postoffice on the 9th, stepped off the train from the east City Marshal Chas. Atkinson attempted to arlowed, in which about 50 shots were exchanged by officers and burglars. One of the burglars was held up by Theo. Atkinson near the depot and was arrested, while the other three escaped, with the officers in hot pursuit. About two miles from the city another ofthe ~ robbers was" 'captured aItenr ^ hard fight, and another was overpowered at Posey lake, four miles northeast The fourth man made his escape. 8.145 Deatha In Michigan In February. There were 3,145 deaths reported to the secretary of state as having occurred in Michigan in February. This number is less than the number returned for January, but owinjj to the shortness of thf month, the death rate per l,0o0 population increased from 15.7 to 17.7. There were 472 more deaths in February, 1901, than in February, 1900. There was a marked decline in tuberculous diseases, typhoid fever, diphtheria and croup, and a very considerable increase in the number of deaths reported from influenza. Pneumonia also increased, but not to as large an extent There was one death reported from smallpox in the city of Saginaw. Bay City. The bonded indebtedness of Pontlac is 1161,000. Counterfeit dollars are being circulated at St Joseph, One death from smallpox was reported at Pinconning on the IStfcu The coal miners in the Saginaw district will ask for an increase in wages. The postoffice at Kitche, Houghton county, has been discontinued. Mail to Venton. Adrian is negotiating with an eastern man for the removal of a shoe factory to that city. The Hancock & Calumet railroad will change from a narrow gauge to a standard gauge road. Wolves are very numerous in Luce county this winter, and hunters are killing large numbers of them. The proposition to bond the village of Augusta for water works, was lost at the charter election on the llth. The circuit court at Cold water suspended business on the llth, owing to the presence of smallpox in the village. Marshall's new $25,000 school building, recently completed, was taken possession of by teachers and pupils on the llth. It is reported that the Calumet & Arizona Mining Co., at Houghton, will place 100,000 shares of stock on the market at once. The West Bay City council is considering the plan of asking the legislature/ to change the name of West Bay City back to Wenona. namilton_ business men and the farmers of the vicinity have organized a stock company for the establishment of & creamery in the village. Rev. A. C. Barclay, of Clare?preached a sermon by phone, many of bis flock enjoying it at their homes. The church is closed on account of smallpox. Not a tram on the G. R. & I. or the Pere Marquette railroads reached Petoskey on the llth. The snow blockade was the worst of the season in that section. Thirty-two girls employed in the Schwabach garment factory, at Niles, went on strike on the llth. They haven't received any salary for several weeks. Recently a Jackson barber shaved a man who said he had chickenpox. The barber now has smallpox, and a general vaccination at Jackson has been ordered. The hearts of Watervliet folks have been gladdened by the announcement that the big paper mill, the industrial mainstay of the village, is to resume operation soon. At a meeting of the moneyed people at St. Joseph recently it was decided to build a theater to cost between $35,- 0,000 Work will be commenced at once. The planing mill, mophadle factory and a quantity of lumber, owned by M. A. Agen, of Ludington, was destroyed by-fire on the morning of the llth. Loss, 84,500. From 12, midnight, on the 9th, until 12, midnight, on the 10th, 2,03T cars were run through the St Clair tunnel at. Port Huron. The best previous record was 1,553 cars.

The state board of health reports show that in the month of February, compared with the average for the 10 years preceding, scarlet fever, typhoid fever and smallpox were more prevalent and intermittent fever, diphtheria, remittent fever, measles, whooping cough and cerebro spinal meningitis were less prevalent Eastern capitalists believe there is •11 in Allegan county, and several test wells will be put down in the near future. Dr. Chas. O. Reilly, pastor' of 8 t Mary's church at Adrian, for the past seven years, haa resigned his charge. He is almost totally blind. Trout Lake citizens became excited over a case of smallpox at the hotel, and immediately telegraphed for assistance to the state authorities. The Caledonia State bank, capitalized at 830,000, which was to have started Id arch 1. has thrown up the sponge and the charter already se- «nred from Lansing haa been returned. was on property which had paid no taxes for three years. It is said that the old roadbed of the Cold water, Manchester & Northern railroad, which, was graded from Marshall to Olivet some years ago, will be utilized for an electric line. As a result of a terrific blizzard throughout western Michigan on the 13th, trains on nearly all the railroads were stalled. The storm was considered one of the most disastrous one in years. A murder was committed at the Wayne connty house on the night of the 13tb. Two inmates named Wm. II irris and John MacMahon quarreled, when the former palled a jackknife and stabbed the latter several times, caused his death a few minutes later., The common council of Niles has granted a franchise to the Indiana & Southern Michigan street railway for the use of the streets through that place. The road is to run from South Bend, ind., to St Joseph by way of Berrien Springs, with a spur from Niles^o Buchanan. Northern Michigan farmers are apparently not greatly in need of money, for they cut up mncb birdseye maple -.for cordwood which they dispose of in the cities. The timber will sell for 835 to 850 per thousand feet in the log, and yet it is sawed up into cordwood to be sold at 81.50 a cord just as if it were the commonest kind of stuff.

Sugar Beet Supply Inaofleleat. By statistics recently compiled by the census bureau on the manufacture of beet sugar in the U. 8., but one of the $1 factories in the whole country obtained sufficient beets in the last census year and many were operated to but a small fraction of their capacity. The bureau report says further: In the census year more than onethird of the domestic sugar product was obtained from beet and it was a year of extremely unfavorable agricultu -al conditions in beet districts. The factories couid readily manufacture more than two and one-half times the quantity of sugar produced if supplied with sufficient raw material. Notwithstanding the very adverse agricultural conditions which resulted in the small supply of raw material, the value of the product was larger than the expenditures. A number of factories earned fair returns on the investments, others paid expenses and several lost heavily. The statistics demonstrate that beet sugar manufacture is a commercial success in the U. S. Old Employee Remembered. Two communications from Andrew Carnegie, which were officially made public on the 13th, tell of the steel king's retirement from active business life, and of his donation of 85,000,000 for the endowment of a fund for superannuated and disabled employes of the Carnegie company. This benefaction is by far the largest of the many created by Mr. Carnegie, and is probably without a counterpart anywhere in the world. This fund will in no wise interfere with the continuance of the savings fund, established by the company 15 years ago for the benefit of its employes. In this latter fund nearly 82,000,0^9 of the employes* savings are on deposit, upon which the company by contract pays 6 per cent and loans money to the workmen to build their own homes. A Rain or Blood In Sicily. A strange phenomenon was witnessed at Palermo, Sicily, on the 10th, For over t2 hours a he ivy red cloud extended over the city, the sky being a deep, red. The rain that fell resembled drops of coagulated blood. This phenomenon, which is called "bloody rain," is attributed to dust from the African deserts, transported by the heavy south, wind now blowing. The phenomenon seen in Sicily also extended over southern Italy. At Rome the sky was yellow, and at Naples a rain of sand fell, the heavens being dark red. Many Killed by a Boiler Explosion. By the explosion of a boiler m the Doremus steam laundry in Chicago, shortly after 8 o'clock on the morning of the llth, the entire building was wrecked. It is stated that about 30 girls and between 50 and 60 male employes were buried in the ruins, which immediately took fire. Twelve girls were dragged frum the wreckage before the fire broke out.

The answer of the Bntisn government to the amendments to the Hay- Pauncefote treaty made by the senate was received on the llth by the British ambassador and communicated to the secretiry of state at Washington. The contents of the document had not been made public, but it probably rejects the earnest wishes of the British government to have the Nicar.iguan waterway international in character, instead of confined to the U.

Many of the President's friends believe he will call an extra session of congress. He does not like the Philippine legislation, chiefly because of the Hoar amendment limiting the rife of franchises to one year. The Cuban question bothers him. He does not want to pass on the Cuban constitution alone. In action taken affecting the colonies he wants congress to act with him. NEWSY BREVITIES. A cloudburst occurred at Oweneboro.

And now that business is well off your mind, let's drink the health of the new-comers, and wish them a happy home at Hollow Ash Hall." Both laughed as they drank the toast. Then the agent rose, buttoned his coat and turned to the door. The landlord saw him out; and after bidding him good night, stood looking out beyond the town, at the hill, where the lonely house was standing, dark, silent and grim. "Hollow Ash Hall let!" he murmured as he went back to the bar once more. "Well, that is a go, and no mistake! I wonder how soon it will be empty?" The CHAPTER II. So the thing was accomplished, haunted house was let. The next day all Banley knew the tale by heart. The banker's name was Cowley, and the young lady who wished to see the ghost was Miss Rose Cowley, a pretty, fair, little creature, who looked as if she would shriek and run away if a mouse crossed her path. Her elder sister, Catherine (Miss Cowley) was a tall, dark-haired girl, with a high color and flashing black eyes— by far the most proper person, one would say, to encounter a denizen or. the other world. But she did not approve of the project, and shuddered at the very name of the Hall. Mrs. Cowley, fat, fair and forty, took the matter easily, though in her heart she considered it a tempting of Providence. But she said nothing. She was devotedly attached to her stout, goodtempered husband, and had he chosen to walk into the crater of Vesuvius, I think she would have given one sigh to old England, and followed meekly in his wake. - : , Mr. Cowley, having made himself master of the Hall, was not long in paying it a visit. He took his family with him, and though they went In broad daylight, their carriage was escorted to the very lodge gates by a select troop or rosy-cheeked children, who stared at Rose as if she had been the Dragon of Wantley in person. Only to the gates, however, did this youthful bodyguard venture. When the driver got down and lifted the rusty bolt from its socket the first creak dispersed the rabble like magic. A dire vision of Queen Bess in ruff and farthingale, coming down the avenue to meet those who sought to enter, affrighted them; and with one accord they set off at full speed toward the village, never daring to look behind them, or to slacken their pace until they were safe once more at their own mothers' sides. Rose Cowley watched this exodus with laughing eyes; but her mother and sister looked as if they would gladly have followed the example of the children, and taken to their heels as well. "Mercy preserve us!" said. Mrs. Cowley, looking up at the Hall. "Who would have believed it was such a dismal place? Why, yesterday from tha road it seemed pleasant!" "Dismal, mamma!" said Rose, "I think it ia anthtng but that! Romantic, solitary, lonely, if you will, but surely not dismal!" "It is only fit for rats and owls to live in," said Catharine, with a look of intense disgust "What could papa be thinking of when he took It without even paying a visit to the place? However, there is one comfort—he Ukea enug, warn rooms aa well aa any of ua; and tlte^ first glanea at the Interior of the old shell wilt he sure to diet** chant him; We shall never live here, mamma; so you need not distress yourself at all about it" "Don't be too certain," remarked Rose. "I was talking with papa thia morning about H, and I asked what was to be done If the place should turn out damp and cold. What do you think his answer was?" "Why, that In such a case we couldn't stop, of course." "Not a bit of it," replied the mischievous girl. "Papa said that he thought we were all apt to pamper ourselves too much and that it would do us good to miss a few luxuries and comforts for a time." Mrs. Cowley groaned. "I shall have rheumatic fever, I knew. Mr. Cowley will never be mad enough to live here. The house is like a well." "Don't fear, mamma," replied Catharine, with an air of composed certainty that was peculiarly provoking to Rose. "By the time papa has had to go without breakfast and dinner once or twice, because the chimney wilil not draw, he will be ready enough to go away. Men may be stoics and ascetics and philosophers in theory easily enough. But all their fine doctrines go to the wall, I observe, when their stomachs come in question." As she spoke, they drew up before their new home, and even Rose was obliged to confess in her own heart that it might have been a pleasanter one, when she looked up at the fastclosed door, and the blank range of dusty windows. Mrs. Cowley groaned again. The place was even worse than she thought, and she was wicked enough to pray secretly for a fit of the gout, or a smart twinge of lumbago, which should lay her lord and master flat on his back, and thus enable her to take him to Brighton—to town, even—rather than to this modern "Castle of Udolpho," which shtcked her almost more by its outward dirt and discomfort than by the ghostly tenants which it held within. "Now, my dear, let me help you. Jump out, Rose, and see which of us will find the haunted chamber first," said Mr. Cowley, coming to the door of the fly, his round, red face beaming with delight at the evident trepidation of his wife and eldest daughter. "Jump out and see how you like your future home. You are as good as the lady of the manor now, Mrs. C. What do you think of that? Did you ever expect to attain to such dignity, even in your wildest dreams of the future?" "I certainly never expected to come to such a place as this," said Mrs. Cowley, piteously, as she left the fly. "Queer old den, isn't it, my love?" u\ecf queer!" "But I dare say you will like it in time. It is a fine airy place, I can see. Catharine, you will have cheeks like cabbage-roses In no time." "Papa, you cannot think of living here!" said that young lady in dismay. "Can't I, my dear? But I do, and J-farjthla veryjeason^th&jgQrlcL is get- } the pier 1 No Brighton for yo* at present, mis*. You will star Jeer* end doyour fellow-countrymen a aetvice, if you please, by disabusing their minds of a stupid prejudice, by means of your own experience, Driver, hare you got the key to this door?" "Here it is, air,"' said the-man. But he fell to the rear after presenting It He waa a lad of nineteen and had heard too much of the place not tfc keep at a respectful distance during the toot moment of Investigation. ting far too romantic and fanciful to suit me. What with spiritualists and table-turning, and men who float in the air, and men who see things in a crystal, and haunted houses, and sees who make almanacs and all the rest of it, England seems to be going stark mad. I used to give my countrymen a little credit for common sense, but I can scarcely recognize them now, and I hold that any one who makes a firm stand against this new-fangled nonsense is a public benefactor. I mean to do it, and to make you do it too. For this reason I take this house, which the silly idiots about here say is haunted. Not one among them dare come near the place. I'll show them that I'm not afraid to live here. And then, perhaps, they will come to their senses again, and learn that people in the other world are glad enough to get quit of this. Ghosts, indeed, I have no patience with sueh nonsense!" "But, papa, if they come?' suggested Rose, with a timid glance at the close shut house. "If they do, I'll pinch their noses with the tongs!" said Mr. Cowley, solemnly, and Rose burst out laughing. "But, papa," said Catharine, "the house is so damp!" "Damp? Nonsense*! It is as dry as a bone. Don't you see that It stands on the top of a hill? How could the water get up here, I should like' to know?" "I am jure it does, and you will have lumbago nnd mamma rheumatism and Rose a sore throat and I a perpetual, influensa. Dear papa, do give up this scheme and take us to Brighton instead!" "Oh, yea, I think I aee myself doing it!" waa the grim reply. T a k e you to Brighton to wear a pork-pie hat on the sands, and show your amities on "This lock has not been oiled since the year 11" said Mr. Cowley, puffing and blowing as he tried to turn the key. "Hang the thing, how it sticks! Bear a hand here, my good fellow, will you? Hallo!" The key turned suddenly as he spoke, the lock yielded, and the door flew open with such violence that Mr. Cowley landed on his nose in the hall. Seeing this, his wife forgot her fears and ran to pick him up. Rose and Catharine followed, and so at last they stood together beyond the threshold of the haunted house. While Mrs, Cowley and Catherine were helping the head or the family to his feet, Rose gased around her with breathless awe, half expecting each moment to see some dim shade approaching to wave them away. But no one came. All was still and quiet. They stood within a small, square hall, very dusty and dirty and lighted only by the fanlight over the door. A worn mat covered the floor, there was a small iron st-ve in the center of the hall, and, leaning against it a curiously carved walking stick, resembling the wand of a magician rather than the ordinary cane of a gentleman in the nineteenth century. Rose took this in her hand, but quickly laid it down. It did not seem "canny" to hold it, though why she could not say. Mr. Cowley rubbed his head, felt his nose carefully all over, and pronounced himself quite sound. "What made me fall, I cannot tell," he remarked. "It really seemed as if the door was jerked from my hand by some person inside. Do you know, my dear, I incline to the opinion that some evil-disposed person has harbored here at some time or another and taken advantage of the popular belief in ghosts to carry out all manner of iniquity in perfect safety. For aught we know, such a person ma/ be within hearing now." Mrs. Cowley gave a little shriek. "Then we are all safe to be robbed and murdered! Dear George, do let U3 leave this place and get home as soon as possible!" "Nonsense, my dear; don't interrupt me, if you please! Robbed and murdered, indeed! Is that likely while you have me to protect you? I merely made that remark as a warning in case such a person should be concealed here. I recommend that person not to come too near, whoever he may be; and I add, for his further information, that I shall sleep here with a revolver, loaded and capped, by my side, and if he begins any of hiB tricks upon travelers, I'll give him pepper, by Jove! Now, Mrs. C, come along and look at the rooms." Trembling and disgusted, the good lady followed her truculent spouse, as he opened door after door within the mansion. The rooms were all dark and dingy, it is true, but they had high ceilings and plenty of windows with pleasant aspects.

Then heat the jewel in a gaa tame and drop it into some cold water while it is hot. If it is a real diamond it will stand the test without cracking to pieces. If an imitation, the stone will craok and crumble to pieces. The second method ia as follows: Take a cup of water—a black cup, gutta percha, or any dark stone cup is beat —and drop two stones into the water, the one a diamond and the other, which is known to be ordinary crystal. The diamond, if a true one, will shine a clear white through the water and will be clearly visible, while the other stone will blend with the water in such a way as to be almost imperceptible in the water. Another plan is to procure a surface of striped paper— red and white stripes are the most suitable—and pass the suspected stone slowly over its surface. If the colors show through the stone It is some variety of crystal and not diamond. A real diamond will not show the variety of colors, but will look the same over the red as well as the white stripes.—J^ondon Express. ^ Z S M ^^^^ SSB fmm m WUEM mm I I " ' " _ IP M i l •• ft* Cteee* Xatwmt FertflMr et\ the U* te MaaJteH* w»r» Hlaoett » XmMw* would make quite another place of it as Mr. Cowley said. CHAPTER III. Nevertheless, as the party progressed from room to room, a silence fell SOSL them all—a nameless weight seemed to rest upon every heart. Mrs. Cowley looked really ill, Catharine was very pale, Rose ceased to laugh and jest, and even Mr. Cowley pursued his investigations in a nervous, fidgety way, as if he was ill at ease. Did you ever visit an empty house, dear reader, by yourself? A lonely country cottage, for instance, with no evil tale hanging over it like a dark cloud—nothing to mar its beauty— nothing to take from its aspect 'of home and peaceful repose? Passing from room to room, with the bunch of keys dangling from your hand, did you not begin to feel that something unseen, but not unfelt, was bearing you company—something that opened the doors and looked out of the windows and pointed at the corners of the apartments as if to illustrate a story which you also felt but did not hear? Did not that unseen companion become almost too real—almost visible at the last and actually drive you from the place—not frightened—not nervous— oh, no!—only with pale lips and hurried steps and a hand that shook a little as it gave the keys back in the agent's office, and wrote down the direction to which the agent might apply. All thia, and more than this, did the party at the Hall experience. Something— nay, more than one something waa beside them. Mo one spoke of the presenos, yet all were conscious of It though they tried to laugh it oft, even in the recesses ot their own mimefe. (To he continued.) MADAME BAVEAS TESTIFIES. A OUttnffiUfthad iM&f After TraTeUtt* for Six Tears la Search of Health, a« Lost FlacU It In Dodd's Kidney PUla. Hot Springs, Ark., March 18—(Special.)— This popular resort numbers among its patrons many of the world's most distinguished men and women, but none more so than Madam Xsabelle Ellen Baveas, Life Governor of the Free Masons Grand Lodge of England. Madam Baveas. like most of the other visitors, came here in search of health. She was not disappointed, but her cure was not found in the virtue of the baths, but in a few boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which she found on sale here, and which is being ured and with wonderful success by a number of the visitors to Hot Springs. She says: "I traveled almost constantly for the past six years in the interests of my Society, and my health gradually became broken down, through "the change of food, water, climate, etc. The doctors told me I hfed diabetes and advised me to go to the Springs, as they could do nothing for me. While there my attention was called to Dodd's Kidney Pills by a fellow sufferer, who had been greatly benefited by using them. "I profited by her experience and bought a box, and then another, and so on until I had used seven boxes. It is with gratitude that I state that they cured me completely, and I am now able to take up the duties of life once more. I am very thankful for what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for inc. and as a grateful woman shall never hesitate to recommend them to anyone suffering with Diabetes." The very satisfactory experience of this distinguished woman should be an encouragement to all similar sufferers. Dodd's Kidney Pills are 50c. a box, six boxes for $2.50. Buy them from your kx~il druggist if you can. If he cannot supply you, send to the Dodd's Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. T. MULE ON SNOWSHOE3. The Pl»a by Which Mall Waa Carried Through Bi« Snowilrtfti. It is said that the late Jock Darling, the most noted hunter and trapper ever known In Maine, once brought a young deer out of the deep snows of the woods by fitting snows hoes to its feet, and there have been instances of dogs wearing the moosehide. but not until a recent day, so far as the records show, dia any one in this New England state ever see a mule on snowshoes. The snow that came last week was only an ordinary fall, but the gale that succeeded it piled up big drifts, shutting out many towns from all communication with the outside world. Bingham, in Somerset county, had been without mall for a week when one evening, the mail carrier, Henry Caswell, arrived from The Forks with four sacks slung over a mule's back. The mule, Pete, is a diminutive animal, tough and strong, but, going as mules generally go, utterly unable to wade through the high ridges of snow between The Forks and Bingham. So Caswell, after studying the situation a bit. decided to fit snowshoes to Pete. The plan worked all right and the little mule, seeming to appreciate the situation, allowed the shoes to be fitted without objection. The shoes were made of oak frames, woven with stout moosehide, about half the width worn by men and without the usual long shank behind Pete came along on his shoes as wel aa Caswell on his, and the two were welcomed with shouts of approval by the people of Bingham. The return Journey, twenty-four miles, was made in the same way. A new island hse beam formed out at sea> about 10 mUes from the mouth oi tboiaotee* HOB. Thomas Gceemway, Premier of the Province of Manitoba, ome of the foremost farmers of Western Canada, writes an «c«ll«n$ article to the press,— from which the following extracts are made: The writer came to Manitoba from Ontario in the autumn of 1878, and has ever since been? engaged in agriculturai pursuits. From the day, nearly twenty-two years ago, when he selected his homestead, he has had unbounded faith in the country as a place where farming can be successfully carried on, if pursued upon proper lines. There is a large number in this province who should rather he called "wheat-growers" than farmers. On account of the facilities, natural advantages, and therefore cheapness with which wheat ca*n be grown, no doubt many have done exceedingly well by raising wheat only; still, It is far from ideal farming. Not only will such a course, if persisted in, have the effect of causing the land to run out, as haa been the experience of those who pursued the same plan in the wheat-producing prairie States to the south of us, but it is far from being the most profitable course to adopt. This fact is already being demonstrated in Manftoba. Let the farms in this Western country be managed upon the lines which were successful in the Eastern Provinces, and much more' can be done here in a given time than was ever done in the East. The probabilities of failure are practically niL Upon the farm there should be found horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry, according to the ability of the farmer, with respect to his means and the extent of his holding. The wanton waste which has hitherto been practiced by many farmers, that of burning vast quantities of excellent fodder after threshing is done, should cease; it should all be used upon the farm and converted into the old, sensible kind of fertilizer manure, and afterwards be returned to the soil, so that what has been taken from it by the crop may be restored. Although admitting that the great natural fertility of the soil in Manitoba and the success that has attended the growing of wheat after wheat for years upon the same land have a tendency to make such a course as the one mentioned tempting, yet, if continued, wheat growing upon the same land year after year is undoubtedly a mistake. The writer knows of no country that offers advantages so great to the agriculturist as does Manitoba. The various branches of farming can be carried on successfully, as twenty-two years of practical operations and observations of what others are doing nave proven. To those desiring to make new homes for themselves, the low price of some of the best lands in the world (although rapidly advancing in price this year) offers still—great - opportunities. To all such the invitation is cordially given to "Come and see." There need be no poor people here. There Is land for all who choose to come, land upon which happy Homes can be established, and from which ample resources can be gatherj. edagainstoldage. Allthat a: mas needs to achieve competence in this domain is common sense and industry. With these qualifications he ia bound to succeed.

BABES* BRIGHT SAYINGS, Little Harry, while playing, accidentally cut his finger. Seeing it bleeding, he called out: "Hurry and stop up my finger, mamma; it's leaking." A little 4-year-old miss was asked the meaning of the word happy, and this is the pretty answer she gave: "It's to feel like you wanted to give away all your playthings to children that haven't any.** "Remember who you are talking to, young man," said an indignant parent to his unruly son. "I'll have you to know that I'm your father." "Well," replied the incorrigible, "you needn't throw it up to me, I can't help it" The teacher of the Juvenile class was giving orally to her pupils a poem, in which these lines occur: "Sail on, ye mariners, the night is gone," and one little miss, In attempting to rep-at it. rendered it thus: "Sail on ye married men. the li*M **» «rr>»>« ••• isejnni poof Xed^du>~rjo*i OXR 6¾ pot poo <n Pnei <n poof s? « *uoumo?s euj u| poof eAempr aou 9] ujnom eift uj jean* si TOTM •reap imeJK « op ueo drqja tuto jno* pnw eaion s.trsui Jetnotrv •usee eq lowreo -rsoa euji V"B lie* oe green: MAOU puuo*\ v TJOJJ nop** ntq f o i •juouTi noi pwrtux pejegns efvuna •4',' > \ - V ' •;! # ; J .'."

Upon order by prosecuting attorney Shields, the body had been taken up and a post mortem examination made which developed tbe tact that Mr. Fitzsimmons came to bis death by a blow instead of a fall or a kick by a horse as was at first thought. The injury was such that it would cause instant death and Mr. F. could not have gotten to where he was found w ithout help. There were eight witnesses sworn but two of them would not testify, claiming their right by law as it might serve to incriminate them, These were James Ryan and John DtsMbj,Jr. Get our prices on Envelopes * andStationery.

Oid Joha- Tabor of Bpwle -Creek, sat em his vefaada, hia hega legs uprcmd suggestive of the proofs of a black oak tree. The puckers between his eyes drew his brush-heap brows together. His pretty daughter, Mollte, stood at the rail.of the balusters,,her apron pressed to her eyes. A eurtaia of morning giory vines dropped from the «aves to the ground, one blossom of which touched the cheek of the youag «(rl with the soft lips of sympathy. "No use in none o* your foolishness. You ain't sot sense enough to know what's good for ye. Jest to think ye're wantiu' to marry that school teacher, Ed.

"Pap," spoke the girl between convulsive sobs, "you can't make me marry Tom. I can't do it; I wont do it, I tell you!" "Lookee hur' gal; I'm gittlu' my dander clean up in my ha'r now!

As soon as the old man had disappeared behind a wall of dark green cottt at the rear of the house. Mollie, in a frenzy of dispair and grief, went to the front door and gazed with eager, blistering eyes up and down the road. She wanted to see some one she could fly to, to whom she could reveal her peril, and b3g for a rescuing hand. Not more than a minute had passed when two men on horseback rode into view. They were« Richard Hardin, the wealthiest young man in that section, Land bis younger brother, Jerre. "Mr. Hardin," screamed the girl as -^afcLmen rode opposite the house, "get dowA an* jtome in a mThTCT" " Richata dismounted, handing his brldle-relns to his brother When he entered the house the girl, ja spite of herself, broke into a cry 4fctt. convulsed her frame, and rendered her apeechless for some tims. TaW sympathetic young bachelor gazed ttspon her, wonder and pity in his face. He had a vague idea, however, the 'occasion of her grief. When she had mastered herself, she briefly related her troubles, and begged him to save her. The young man sat for a moment, riaga. Ride ovtr and tell Tom we art gone, and get him to go with you out to Abe Martin's to bring borne the three cdws~T Nought of him yasterday and I'll pay him well." Then he went back into the house and aaid: "Mollie, when your father comes in I shall pretend to agree with him respecting bis choice. Tou will appear as if reoonoUed. I'll go to town with your father to get a license for your marriage. Leave all to me." Soon the old man's footsteps were heard in the yard, and Richard, as it In answer to words from Mollie, raised his voice and said: "Oh, Mollie, you'll get over your foolish love for Ed Bronson all right He's a pretty young fellow, very attractive to girls, but one they would »*• » - * ! • * » » « • < * * • • THOUSANDS OF FAIR WOMBJ* HERALD PRAISES FOR PERUNA.

Mind him, and the future will show you that the wisdom of age is superior to a girl's day dreams." "Well," replied Mollie, choking down^ laugh, "I will mind him. Maybe he knows best." v'»Bully for you, Moll!" cried the old man, stepping in at the door. Har"n prpiainftd that he had sent ^ M:. Bradley with Jerre after some cattle, and that he had come to go with him after the license. The old fellow was delighted, and when they were well on the road, he didn't refuse Hardin's proffer of a drink from his bottle. The old man was a spreer. When he got one drink it was the beginning of a two weeks' "drunk." Frequently tapping Hardin's bottle, he was in excellent shape before town was reached. The bottle exhausted, the pair entered the nearest .saloon and began to drink to the health of the young couple. Hardin took very small drinks, while the old man was rapidly passing from the political to the religious stags of drunkenness. The crying stage is next, and, before that was reached. Hardin said they'd better go get the license. When *h«y i^gijiRJjjiejterk'sjfflce the old in their sockets. Hardin whispered the names of the couple to the clerk. "How old is your daughter, Mr. Tabor?" asked the clerk. "Er (hie) me? Oh, her—u-um, um, (hTcTs^eHa-SBx^sie—six—er seven- •She's seventeen—I know her age, said Hardin. "You give your free consent to her marriage?" "Me? Heigh? Er (hie) w'y. yes, I don't keer—think I can stand one more." Hardin and the clerk laughed, and the former took the licinne when made ' v Two horsemes^rodeinto view, his mind working double time. The girl' watched him as a mother would watch the lights and shades in the face of a child approached by death. Soon his face lighted up. He slapped his. big leg and said: T i l fla it Have no further fear. You shall have your heart's wise choice. I'll save you from that coutempttblo wretch—Tom Bradley. I'll be back in a second." He arose and hastily went out to the fence. "Jerse." he aaid. "I'm going to Vanceburg with Mr. Tabor to get the 1 for a little Joke like that. Come in an' .Ltoante .far and MoilU'a marout, and paid the fee. Hardin took the old man down to the saloon, and permitted him to pour down drink after drink until he fell in a heap at the bar.' Then he had him carried to bed, where be slept in snoring unconsciousness until 2 o'clock the next afternoon. Hardin handed the license to Mollie, sent for Ed Bronson and a preacher, and had the couple married four hours after he and the old man had started for Vanceburg. Tabor continued his spree for two weeks, never coming heme during the time. One day he was standing at the bar, treating a lot of appreciative loafers, and bragging on his son-in-law, Tcm Bradley, when the latter entered and called him out the back way. "Mr. Tabor," he said, crying, "I think you treated me bad—promising me Mollie an' then glvln' her to Ed." "What!" thundered 4he—old _man. "Are they married? I got the license fer you an' her." "No you didn't," mournfully spoke poor Tom, "It was made out for Ed an' Mollie, an* the clerk sez you wuz present an' give your consent." The old man's, whisky blooms faded from bis face for a second, then he, shouted: "I was tricked! -I'll kill Dick Hardin!" "An" Mr. Tabor, misfortunes never come alone. My hor3es are dead with epizootU, and the dogs have killed all my sheep." "Well," laughed the old man, after a pause, "I guess I wont kill. Dick. Peruna is the woman's friend everywhere. It is safe to cay tbat no woman ever used Peruna for any catarrhal derangement but what it became indispensable in her household. i/ectora From Wotuwi. Every day we receive letters from women like the following. Women who have tried doctors and failed; women who have tried- Perur.a and were cured. Miss Katie, Klein, 6125 Bartmer avenue, St. Louis, Mo., writes: "Peruna has done me more good for catarrh than the best doctors could. I had catarrh so bad. but after taking Peruna it is entirely gone, and I feel like a different person." MLu A una i Preacott'n Letter, Miss Anna Prescott, in a letter from 216 South Seventh street, Minneapolis, Minn., writes: "I am sincerely gratefaF for the mans eyes were tifted^aTR-hr*tfe*fiwve^0<M<^/^^ runs, I WBB completely used up last tall, my appetite had tailed aad-1 felt weak and tired all the time. My drug' gist advised me to try Peruna amd the relief I experienced aftef bottle was truly wonderful: "/ continued its use fotr ftwe and am glad to say that my complete restoration to health was. at happy surprise to myself as waif as to my friends. "—Anna Prescott. A constant drain of neitwooa vitality depleting the whole nezwaas system causes the mucous membrane surfaces to suffer accordingly. This is the condition called systemic catarrh. It very T^riy rpapmfrles. and there is really no rasthenia, or nervous prostration, Peruna will be found to effect an immediate and lasting cure in all cases - -of systemic -catarrhs It acts quickly and beneficially on the diseased mucous membranes, and with healthy mucous membrane? the catarrh can no longer exist. Peruna a T r a i Friend to Women. Mrs. F-,J. Lynch, writes the following from 324 S. Division street, Grand Rapids, Mich: The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, 0. Gentlemen—"I earnestly recommend Peruna to any suffering woman, as it cures quickly. Last year I had a most persistent cough which nothing seemed to cure. Two bottles of Peruna did more for me than all the doctors seemed to do. In a couple of weeks I found myself in excellent health, and have been enjoying it ever since. Hence_ JLJook on Peruna as a true friend to women."—Mrs. P Peruna is equally efficacious in cur Jng catarrh of the throat as in curing systemic catarrh or catarrh of the stomach. Catarrh is essentially the same wherever located. Peruna cures catarrh. J Lvncfi Peruna cures catarrh whftTETlPiJpj^ y cated. As soon as Peruna removes \ practical difference, between this conditioned the condition known as neurcrona Makes Ton F e l l Like a Now Person. Miss Mary Coats, a popular young woman of Appleton, Wis., and president of the Appleton Young Ladies' Club, also speaks in glowing terms of Peruna. A letter recently received from. her by The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio, reads as follows: "I am glad to call the attention of my rriends to Pcnma;—-"When that languid, tired feeling comes over you, and your food no longer tastes good, and small annoyances Irritate you, Peruna will make you feel like another person inside of a week. "I have now used it for three seasons, and And it very valuable and efflcaious."—Miss Marie Coats. Diseased nerves are traceable directly to poor digestion, and poor digestion is directly traceable to catarrh. With the slightest catarrh of the stomach no one can have good digestion. Very, few of the many women who have catarrh off the stomach suspect what their real trouble UB. They know they belch after meals, have sour Btomach, a sensation, of. weight or heaviness, a fullness,- irregular appetite, drowsiness, gnawing, empty sensations, occasional paiat-they all know this; hut they do not Jcnow that their troubla is catarrh of the stomach. If they/did. they would take Perunau. catarrh from the stomach the digestion Decomes good, appetite regular, nerves strong, and trouble vanishes. Peruna strengthens weak nerves; not by temporarily stimulating them* but _py removing the cause of weak nerves ~poor digestion. This ia-jttta-^oa*y cure that lasts. Remove the cause: Nature will' dt> the r*st Peruna ra^_ moves the cause.

Jo#?pb Bert Smileys the excentric editor of the Galeburg Enterprise, had a bad spell again last week, going off on a tangent via the Load postal bill and the common herd of .publishers. He claims that the newspapers secured their low rates of postage on account of their being a source of education but thought most of them should pay one cent on each paper instead of pound rates. He did not consider Pan-Amerjeaa matter, medical advs. etc news. Bro. Smiley may be right in his comments, but if the column and a half in last week's Enterprise berating other newspapers generaly and the Kalamazoo Telegiaph in particular, and the usual one-half or full column about "our very esteemed friends, the enemy" in which he berates another man who is running a paper in the same town, are more educational than the Pan-American or even medics, we fail to see it People may read his paper to see what Smiley will say next but tfcey *t* WD more the wiser for bariag dose so.

Recently Guinness, the great "beer baron" of Dublin, erected some model tenements for the use of working people, and among other things prohibitedall intoz U. eating liquors; even his own beer not allowed to be sold. Lemonad © and mineral waters can be had, but intoxicants of every form are shut out Very significant. Recently Sheriff Pearson (the Prohibition official who has proved such a terror to liquor-sellers in Cumberland county, Maine, in which Portland is situated) testified before a legislative committee that he had been offered $35,000 to allow two brands of beer to be sold during this year in Cumberland county. It is hardly necessary to say that the bribe was indignantly rejected. In a prize essay by Charpentier of the French academy of medicine, he states as the result of recent investigations in two departments that the amount of liquor consumed and the amount of crime are in direct proportion to each other, and in inverse ratio to the number of births, all of which largely helps to account for the degeneracy which the beBt MONTHLY REPORT Of the Pinckney Public Schools for the month ending Mar. 22,1901.

The lake was discovered by a bushman in 1820 and was known to the blacks as the "big water." It was then supposed to form the source of a river having its mouth on the south coast, but subsequent visitors were much perplexed at the manner in which the blacks avoided the lake, of which they appeared to entertain a superstitious dread, one aged aboriginal stating she had seen it all covered with trees, another explaining that the whole of the water sunk through the bottom and disappeared, while others uemembered the lake only as a series of small ponds. Duriug the following 20 years considerable variations were noted in the depth and extent of the lake. In 1841 the lake became partially dried up, the moist portions being simply grassy swamps.

The place remained more or less dry until 1852, the year of the great floods in that part of the colony, when it again became filled, with an average depth of nine feet. Since then the surface level of the lake has varied considerably, but the bed has never been so dry as in former years. There are indications that many hundreds of years ago the lake covered a far larger area than any yet recorded, remains of trees over 100 years old being found In spots formerly under water. The saline character of the lake is the more remarkable by reason of itp being fed by pure and sparkling fresh water streams. F r e m o n t ' s R i d e .

The red button and the red flag have been the emblem of labor and revolution for more than 3,000 years. In the ancient world the favorite colors of the aristocracy were white and azure blue, while red was plebeian. Minerva and Ceres, the goddesses of labor and agriculture, were always represented as dressed In flaming red, and the banners of the Greek and Roman trade unions were of the same color. The red flag nowhere in antiquity meant ferocity and slaughter, but rather typified the fact that all men, whether slaves or masters, had In their veins the same blood and in their nature the same humanity. But In the frequent servile wars of Italy and Greece the red flag gradually became the emblem not of labor, but of revolt. At one time when the rebellious slaves and gladiators under Spartacus defeated three Roman armies the red flag was on the point of supplanting .the eagle in the imperial city itself. It is related that the labor soldiers were so fanatically devoted to their flag that it was the custom of their generals when in battle to hurl it far into the enemy's ranks and so compel its devotees to rush forward and recover it.—New York Post.

One of the most curious relics of paganism which are still worshiped In a Christian country is tne gigantic black stone figure of a woman which is to be found in a forest of t h e district of Morblhan, in Brittany. It is known as the "Black Venus," but probably dates far back of the time when the Greeks and Romans worshiped that goddess. Antiquarians assert that this ugly idol belongs to the age of the serpent worshipers, one of whose subterranean temples is in the neighborhood. This would make the figure far older than the Christian era. The statue is that of a huge, uncouth woman, with a sullen, angry countenance, her form enveloped in a loose mantle. The superstitious Bretons have always worshiped the figure, asserting that It has power over the weather and the crops. If the idol is neglected, they declare that the grain dies on the ear, and if the anger of the black woman is further roused a tidal wave sweeps over Morbihan. Twice the stone was cast into the sea by pious folk who hoped thereby to put an end to this idolatry, and twice the wnw i.i,,MfMi»vm T. »r* peasants dragged it back and set up an ir N i i W T U J S A T M K M .

That Electric Botd. We received a letter the past week from a former resident of this village asking 03 why we did not publish some news regarding tbe electric road. We have no genuine news to publish but might givti a tew facts which, while tbey may not seem true now, time will prove tb9m. There ie a road being built from Jackson t o Ann Arbor touching Chelsea and Dexter on tbe south of us. There is also a franchise granted for a road from Landing to Detroit touching Howell and Brighton on the north of us. One aUo is in prospect going through tbe eastern part of tbe county. Part of these roads are already under construction anji others only in prospect. At any rate tbe rapid transit of eiectic lines has come to make a stay and unless we secure one for our village we will in tbe course of a few years be out of date. Some say the road would kill the town. That has not been proven but when every other town on all sides have a road and Pinckney shut out then the citizens will make u p as to what hurts the town t h e most, to have a road or not. We are in close proximity to a tine resort which would tend to help our village if we had an easy way to get to and from the lake. Many from the district west of this place who have never been in the habit of visiting Portage lake would be induced to spend some time there each year— this would draw trade to our village. There is not a shadow of douht but the road being built from Jackson to Ann Aroor, will put in a spur to the lake for summer traffic, We hope to see som^ move made duringthe next few week towards pushing our electric line through and we hope when the time com°s the prcmotersmay find beartyco operation along the line, especially in our, village.

Tbe committee on relations of the Cuban convention met in Havana on the S2d to consider the report drawn up by its secretary, Senor Juan Guaiberto Gomes, on the Piatt amendment In substance the report rejects four clauses—the clauses dealing with coaling stations, foreign relations, the right to intervene t o preserve peace and the entering into treaties covering the points in question. The other clauses are treated on the lines of the previous report, the sanitation of the Isle of Pines being virtually agreed to. Three of the five members of the committee objected to the rejection in toto of the four clauses mentioned, an-^ it is believed that some consideration should be given them. No vote was taken but a majority was opposed to acceptance. So many queries have been made as to when the President will announce the appointments from the volunteer service to that of the regulars that this statement is authorized. The full list of officers transferred from the volunteer to the regular service will embrace over 1,000 names, and it is not expected that it can possibly be completed in less than several weeks. The pay corps has 27 vacancies for 30 volunteer officers, which fact insures retention of all save three. The quartermaster's and commissary departments will also provide well for volunteer officers now in those corps. The list that goes to the White House will be subject to little change by the President* In the province of Cavite four insurgent officers and 53 men with much ammunition have surrendered to Capt. Baldwin of the 4th U. S. infantry, and one insurgent officer and 12 men with 16 rifles to Col. Walter S. Schuyler of the 46th volunteer infantry.

L\. on ths 24th. Verdict or Murder Rendered. After a weex of "rumors" and talk of foul play, an inquest was held on the 19th in the ca&e of John Fitzsiraons, who was fourd dead on the 13th on a farm he had made arrangements to manage, a couple of miles from Hamburg, and the jury impaneled rendered a verdict that Fitzsimons came to his death as the result of blows he received on the head, and which were inflicted by vnknown parties. Within half an hour after this verdict was returned, Sheriff Henry D. Finley placed under arrest on the charge of committing the murder, James Ryan, of Howell, a brother of John Ryan, editor of the Howell Democrat, and, John Denehy, a farmer who has lived in that locality for many years. From the time that foul play was suspected in the death of Fitzsimons these two men had been looked upon with suspicion, and at the inquest they were both represented by attorney. Therefore, their arrest was not a surprise to anybody, and certainly not to themselves, as they had made arrangements for bail beforehand. Justice Swartz announced that he would accept bail and be placed it at $2,500 in two sureties for each man. Bonds were promptly furnished and the two men were released from the custody of the sheriff before they hud even been behind the prison bars. • ' • Tried to Lasso »n Ex-Conriot, An attempt was made at Jackson on the 20th to lynch Joseph Moran, exconvict pardoned by Gov.

By Jove! 1 go a great •deai farther than that I should like to see her well shaken—I should Ilka to shake her myself, la fact First, for believing such nonsense herself .and then for writing a pack of stories, enough to turn a whole nursery of children into dangerous lunatics. I ' wonder if she lets her own children read that wretched book." "I can't say. But If you would only let me read you one story, papa " "Read to me!—a ghost story to me! Rose, I begin to think you must be going mad!" "I'm not, papa; and this particular story is vouched for by your beau ideal Mr. Howitt." ."I don't believe it." "But it is, indeed! There is his name! and,ho had the accounts of the haunted house from credible witnessen!" "Oh, yes—of course!" sneered Mr. Cowley. "However, I don't cars if I hear this one tale. I should like to see what kind of a case he can males out of such outrageous rubbish." "I won't bother you with a long story; but Just hear what Mr. Drury says he saw at the haunted house in Wilmington, where Mr. Howitt went afterwards." y She began to read: "About ten minutes to twelve we heard a noise, as if a number of people were pattering with their bare feet upon the floor; and yet, so singular was the noise that I could not minute- I ly determine from whence it proceeded. A few minutes afterwards we heard a noise, and as if some one was knocking with his knuckles among our feet; this was followed by a hollow cough from the very room from which the apparition proceeded. The only noise after this was as if a person were rustling against the wall in coming up stairs. At a quarter to one I told my friend that, feeling a little cold, I would like to go to bed, as we might hear the noise equally well there; he replied that he might not go to bed till daylight. I took up ,a note which I had accidentally dropped, and began to read it, after which I took out my watch to ascertain the time, and found that it wanted ten minutes to one. In taking my eyes from the watch they became riveted upon a closet door which I distinctly saw open, and saw also the figure of a female attired in greyish garments, with the head inclining downwards, and the one hand pressed upon the chest, as if in pain, and the other, viz., the right hand, extended towards the floor, with the index finger pointing downwards. It advanced with^an apparent cautious step across the floor towards me; immediately as it approached my friend, who was slumbering, its right hand was ^extended towards him. I then rushed at It, giving, as Mr. Proctor states. a most awful yell; but, instead of grasping it, I felf upon my friend, and I recollected nothing distinctly for nearly three hours afterwards. I have since learned that I was carried down stairs in an agony of fear and terror. "I hereby certify that the above account is strictly true and correct in every respect. "EDWARD DRL'RY." "North Shields." "What stuff!" exclaimed Mr. Cowley. "Is there any more, Rose" "A little, papa. An account of a ghost seen in the same house by two young ladies." "The first night, as they were sleeping in the same bed, they felt the bed lifted tip beneath thsm. Of course, they were much alarmed. They feared lest some one had concealed himself there for the purpose of robbery. They gave Jin alarm, search was made, but nothng was found. On another night their 1>ed was violently shaken, and the curtains suddenly hoisted up all around to the very tester, as if pulled by cords, and as rapidly let down again, several times. ^Search again produced no evidence of the cause. The next day they had the curtains totally removed from the .bed, resolving to sleep without them, as they felt as though evil eyes were lurking -behind them. The con* sequences of this, hbwever,, were still more striking and terrific. The following night, as they happened to wake, and the chamber was light enough (for It was summer) to sse everything in it, for they both saw a female figure, of a misty substance, and a blu> ish-gr«y hue, come out of the wall at the bed's head, and through the headboard, in a horizontal position, and lean over them. They saw it most distinctly. They saw it as a female figure come out of, and again pass into, the wall. Their terror became intense; and one of the sisters, from that night refused to sleep any. more in the house but took rofuaa ia ike house of she' foreman during her stay; the other shifted her quarters to another part of the house. It was the young lady who slept at the foreman's who saw as above related the singular apparition of the luminous figure in the window, along with the foreman and his "It would be too long to relate all the forms in which this nocturnal disturbance is said by the family to present itself. When a figure appears, it is sometimes that of a man, as already described, which is often very luminous, and passes through the walls as though they were nothing. This male figure is well known to the neighbors by the name of 'Old Jeffrey!' At other times it is the figure of a lady also in grey costume, and is described by Mr. Drury. She is sometimes seen sitting wrapped in a sort of mantle, with her head depressed, and her hands crossed on her lap. The most terrible fact is that she is without eyes. "To hear such sober and superior peopje gravely relate to. you* such things gives you a very odd feeling. They say that the noise made 13 often like that of a pavior with his rammer thumping on the floor. At other times it is coming down stairs, making a similar loud sound. At others, it coughs, sighs and groans, like a person in distress; and again, there is the sound of a number of little feet pattering on the floor of the upper chamber, where the apparition has more particularly exhibited itself, and which for that reason Is solely used as a lumber room. Here these foot 3teps may be often heard, as if careering a child's carriage about, which in bad weather is kept up there. Sometimes again, it makes the most horrible laughs. Nor does it always confine itself to the night. On one occasion a young lady, as she assured me herself, opened the door in answer to a knock, the housemaid being absent, and a lady in fawn colored silk entered, and porceeded up stairs. As the young lady, of course, supposed it a neighbor come to make a morning call on Mrs. Proctor, sha followed her up to the drawing room, where, however, to. her astonishment, she did not find her, nor was a:\vthing more seen of her." ..a!!.'". "It world not corao o;>«n." "Why not?" "It ia nailed up, sir" "Didn't I tell you aof" exclaimed Mr. Cowley, gaining fresh courage from this circumstance. "Some rascal has got in there to frighten us out of the place, so he can carry on his usual games with impunity. Give me the hammer, Mrs. Macarthy, and I'll break the door open. I'll cradle the fellow with a vengeance. I wonder if one of you would have pluck enough to so for my pistol?" "I'll go," said Rose, growing very brave in the belief that a trick was being played upon them. She was not afraid of anything human, even though it came in the shape of a masked burglar at midnight, and she ran and brought the pistol, without giving a thought as to anything that might still be lurking on the stairs. When she got back her father had finished his task, and was just about to open the door. Still the cradle rocked unceasingly. He bade Mrs. Macarthy bring a light and took that in one hand and the pistoi in the other. Mrs. Cowley and Catharine shivered in the background but Mrs. Macarthy and Rose stood stoutly on the other side of the door, eager to get the first peep at the mysterious room. "Now, you fellow, who ever you may be, I give you fair warning!" called out Mr. Cowley In a loud voice. Still the cradle rocked. "I have got a loaded pistol in my hand and the moment I catch sight of you I shall fire." Still the cradle rocked. "Do you hear me, you scamp? I'll teach you to cut these capers here." Still the cradle rocked. "I shall count three!" roared Mr. Cowley, getting into a rage, "and then I shall Are." Still the cradle rocked. " One." Still the cradle rocked. "Two" Still cradle rocked. seMWf^ee off Cfesrt Ostnreh H thuantd trsendn fDflto fllrafr c*u rreewda brgdr fS oUr sUafyi Ca_t aVrr, hJ G. CurBaT OBY* C^Prop^.

At this stage, of the reading Mrs. Cowley, who had been listening in perfect agony of fear, suddenly found strength to rebel. "Rose, shut that book instantly!" she exclaimed. "No, Mr. Cowley, I will not sit and hear such things! I've got a creeping down my back already, and my arms are all goose Mesh; and -P wouldn't hear thFi"esT~OT~TrlF_you gave me five thousand pounds—there!" Rose closed the book. Her father did not object, and drew his chair closer to the fire, and glanced nervously over his shoulder as he did so. Catharine looked very pale, though she made no remark, and Rosa was satisfied. It was a pleasure, if a malicious one, to think that not one of them all would dare go up stairs in the dark at that moment, any more than she would. And she feit quite sure that if the. lady in grey 'without eyes" came to her bedside that night, Catharine's couch would by no mean3 remain uhvfcfted. There was a short silence, broken ty the sound of a rapid scuffling step in the hall. They looked at each other somewhat timidly, and Mrs. Cowley gave a little yelp of terror when the parlor door was flung violently op^n. But nothig worse than Mrs. Macarthy stood there; Mrs. Macarthy no longer ruddy and laughing, but pale and frightened, as she had once vowed she never co'.:!d b?. "I wish you would step this way, sir," she said, addressing Mr. Cowley, eagerly. "Something queer has happened 0"t there." ? "Oh gracious, the ghost, the ghost!" screamed Mrs. Cowley. "No, ma'am, at least, nothing thit you can s*e. But it isn't exactly improving to the spirits to sit and hear it all by one's self. Do come out, sir, and listen." Mr. Cowley went. The rest, seized with a sudden panic, ran after him;— Mrs. Macarthy led the way to the kitchen, where she had been sitting reading "Love and Rev?nge. or The Bandit's Vengeance and the Maiden's Choice," by the light of two tallow candles and a blazing fire large enough ito roast an ox.; Mr. Cowley looked round curiously, so did the girls, dingling very close to their mother all the "Hark!" said Mrs. Macarthy. holding up her fingor; "there it is again!" They listened with bated brsath. J j Frost behind a closed door on the fright hand aide of the kitchen came a strange, continuous sound. "Three." Still the cradle rocked; and, for the first time they; heard distinctly sweet female voice, as if singing to a child within. - ""Ohr -graeiotts-f-Hsc; ley. Mr. Cowley looked aghast, but quick' ly recovered himself. "Another trick,-but you shan't frighten me with your confounded nonsense Stand back, all of you. Here goes! He gave the door a tremendous kick, which sent it flying from the hinges. At the same instant he fired. And still, when the echo of the shot had died away, they heard the selfsame noise, the self-same cradle song. Mr. Cowley entered the room, and held the light high above his head. It was a small closet, like a butler's paningress or egress than the door. It was impossible for anyone to escape, nor was there a single living thing in the place except'himself. Yet the cradle rocked, and the song was sung while he stood there, almost at his very feet. He stepped back into the kitchen, looking very pale, feeling very sick and fr.int. ' ! Rosa caught him by the arm. ( "Oh, papa!" she whispered, with f white lips, "the place is haunted, and J we were very wrong to come. What shall we do* Loot at mamma!" It was. inde?d, time to do so, for Mrs. Cowlf y lay in strong hysterics upon tho kitchen floor. Catharine had fainted, and Mrs. Macarthy was bending over them both, alternately administering restoratives. Mr. Cowley raised his wife in his arms; Ro3e and Mrs. Macarthy supported Catharine between then?. And as they left the haunted room th,e cradle was still rockinr, the low nursery song still sounding in their ears.' (To be Continued.)

Nowhere is the increasing interest in genealogy and genealogical societies more felt than in the parish of Old Trinity, in this city, says the New York Times. The city is so old, and the church dates back so far in its history, and so many people have lived in New York state that every other woman "who can- trace her relatives' ancestors into New York state is pretty sure that they must have been registered for birth, marriage or death in the Trinity records. They write to inquire without hesitation,' and one clerk is. kept busy most of the time looking up possible ancestors and lost links in ancestral chains. Where something like a clew is given, an effort is made to obtain the information, but when there is only a supposition It is not possible to hunt through ail the records. It would keep an office full of clerks constantly at the records to aaawer all the requests that are made.

Their origins are in many cases Impossible to determine, because they eyloWtly took place at a .time when the season was still pagan in Its character. Oiuers, again, are directly connected with the Christian ob- •senrance of the festival. The early Christians in many countries used to -<greet one another on Easter morning •with the salutation: "Christ is risen." The reply to this was: "Christ is risen, indeed, and hath appeared to Simon." "This custom, it is said, is still observed In the Greek church. The giving of eggs at Easter, or the spring festival, is one of the most widely known, as It is also one of the oldest, of the customs. From the remotest times the egg has stood to the Eastern nations as the symbol of the universe, and its breaking at that time has represented the opening of the new life of the year. When the custom was carried over into Christian practice the Easter eggs were usually sent to the priests to be blessed and sprinkled with holy water. In later times the coloring and decorating of the eggs was introduced, and in a royal Children roll of the time of Edward I., which Is preserved in the Tower of London. there is an entry of 18d. for 400 eggs, to be used for Easter gifts. In the last few years artificial eggs of candy, china and other materials, and egg-shaped articles of all kinds, have largely replaced the real eggs as Easter gifts. The Bhop windows each /3^ It was the Saturday before faster, and the children all ran out to the barn to hunt eggs, with Egypt, the tame crow, hopping after them. Nanny was sure there must be several dozen eggs in the hen house, Billy thought the haymow was the best place to find them, and Kitty said she had seen old Topknot flying out from Dobbin's manger. Egypt said nothing, *OUT IT CAME WITH A LOUD "OW!" ibut I rather think he knew as much about the nests as they did. Egypt was a sly old fellow. He liked buttons and pennies, but he had the greatest fancy for pins. Her would pull them out of every pin cushion in •the. house when he could get a chance, i8o you might search through room after room, and not come across a "CHRIST IS RISEN!

Nobody knew what he did ; with them all. He was fond of oggs, ' too, and I am afraid this was the reason that the children had such a long hunt for them, and found so few. At last they climbed up the long ladder into the mow. The hay was piled almost to the roof and covered the windows. It was so dark that Nanny and Kitty were a yittle bit afraid, but Biiiy went first, floundering along in the hay, just as you wade through a snow drift. "Guess there are nests on this beam." ! eaid Billy, "but it's so dark I can't ! see. I'll feel." In went billy's hand, and out it came in a second, with a loud "Ow!" "It's hornets or yellow-jackets or something!' 'he screamed. "Fetch the barn-lantern, iftt,—and" HI khocR^em out!" Kitty brought the lantern, and then ran to the other side of the barn, for fear of the yellow jackets. Billy held the lentern over his hear and peeped in. What did he see? Not hornets, but Dins, He had run his hand into Egypt's own little "hidy-hole." where the sly little rogue had laid away a whole pile of his favorite treasures. No wonder they pricked like hornets. But what the queer old bird was saving them, for I never knew. Apttrtment Home for Bachelor*.

It it asserted by ethnologists that the transplantation of the European races to newer countries results la the improvement of the- physique. The French Canadian, for example, Is of more hardy frame than the Frenchman in his own country, and the colonialborn Englishman, whether In Canada, South Africa or Australasia, is, on the average, slightly taller, though not heavier, than the natives of those islands. But, probably, the most striking example of increased stature is to be found in the South African Dutchmen, and especially in the Boers of the Transvaal. All travelers agree that not only are the Boers, physically, a much finer race than either the French or the Dutch, from whom they are descended, but that they are probably the tallest race of white men in the world. Two reasons for this remarkable Increase in stature naturally suggest themselves. First, the almost perfect climate, which makes the open-air life of the South African uplands the healthiest in the world, and secondly, the struggle for existence which the emigrants had to fight with the wilderness and the natives, INDIAN MSISIONARY S STORY. Tears of Toilsome SIlDlstrjr A n o e g the Cboctawt* Little York, lad., April l.— (Special). —Twenty-five yeara ago the Rev. C. H. Thompson left Indiana. For a time he preached in Arkansas, afterwards entering on the regular missionary work among the Choctaw Indians. For five years he lived and labored among the full bloods of the western prairies, until on April 5th. 1SS5, having lost his wife, he left the circuit on which he had preached so long, and commenced traveling missionary work among the Indians of the various tribes scattered in the west. This irregular work involved a great deal of travel over tho prairies. The drinking of so much alkali water, brought on kidney troubles which terminated in Diabetes. Finally, while laboring among the Creek Indians at Wagoner, Indian Territory, this noble man was stricken down completely. A Chicago specialist was summoned, and after a careful examination declared that there was not the slightest chance of his recovery. Besides the prescriptions of the doctors he tried many other medicines, but all to no avail. He says: "I had concluded that my days were drawing to a close, when I picked up an almanac telling of the cures of Diabetes by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I sent for two boxes. I gained strength and spirits from the time I commenced to use them, and so I sent for more. I am now completely cured, and have not the slightest symptom of my old trouble. "I am G8 years of age. I tell everybody of the wonders Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for me. I can certainly endorse them heartily, and vouch that they are all that is claimed for them. They have certainly been a God-send 'tome.''

There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten ..are caused by catarrh, whloh is nothing but an is&amed condition of the mucus surfaces. vWe will give One Hundred Dollars for any ease of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Ball's Catarrh Cum Send lor circulars, tree.

AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS' SOFFEfilNfc More Evidence of Interest to the Millions of Catarrh Sufferers in the United States. The following w a s fcttsjived /from Lord Kitchener, dated a t Pretoria, March 25: Bablsgton's force, Including ShekeUon'd column attacked Delarey 1,500 strong, southwest of Ventersdorp, and, h a v i n g , defeated him, followed him up rapidly with the result that the Boer rear guard was driven i n and their convoy, including the g u n s , cap- . lured ,_al_ Vaalbank. Our troops displayed great gallantry and dash? T h e y captured t w o impounder guns, one pompom, s i x maxims, 330 rounds of big ammunition, 15,000 rounds of small ammunition, 160 rifles, 53 w a g o n s and 3iJiarl8^_b^iide._t§-king_ 140 prisonera Our losses were s l i g h t Many Boers were killed or wounded. The new scheme of military organization in Great Britain m a y b e roughly described us the half-way house t o conscription. It involves the development of the eixisting system of voluntary enlistment and auxiliary services under conditions which preclude reasonable expectation of success. When the experiment has been tried and the results are found unsatisfactory, the w a y will be opened for compulsory service. The war office will then be in a position to assert that everything w a s done under the voluntary system to provide an adequate army* for the defense of the empire, but that men were not forthcoming, and that an elaborate paper scheme proved a failure. T h e only alternative, from the official and military point of view, will be compulsory service. A dispatch from Lord Kitchener t o the war office, dated Pretoria, March 27, says: '• Our casualties in Gen. Babington's action were t w o killed and seven wounded. The Boers left 22 dead aDd 30 wounded. As their pursuit was rapid many more Boer casualties are likely. The operations of March 23 drove the enemv from their positions at Kaffirs Kraal."' OTOOTO OOXXOTOOIOTO^ In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, Congressman Botkin, of Winfleld, Kan., whose fame ia a national one, says of Peruna: My Dear Doctor—"It gives me pleasure to certify to the excellent curative qualities of your medicines—Peruna and Manatln. I have been atiilcted more or less for a quarter of a century with catarrh of the stomach and constipation. A residence In Washington has Increased these troubles. A few bottles of your medicine have given me almost complete relieft and I am sure that a continuation of them will effect a permanent cure. Peruna Is surely a wonderful remcdy for catarrhal affections."—J* D. Botkin, Congressman-aULarge. Peruna will cure this. Mrs. Selina Tanner, Athens, 0., writec: "I cannot find words to express my thanks for CONGRESSMAN BOTKIN is one of the most influential and best known men in the State of Kansas. Whatever he may say on any subject will be~acQepted 1)y the people as the truth. So famous a remedy as Peruna could not have well escaped the attention of so famous a man. He not only has heard of the remedy, but he has used it and was relieved of an affliction of twenty-five years' standing. Peruna is the one internal remedy that, cures chronic catarrh. It cures catarrh wherever located. This is a fact that the people are rapidly finding out, but there are still a large multitude who need to know it. Mr. Frank RIchter, of Winona, Minn., says In a letter to The Peruna Medicine Company: "As a remedy for catarrh I take pleasure in recommending Peruna for catarrh of the stomach. I know what it is to be afflicted with this awful disease and consider it my duty to say 1 in behalf of the remedy which le such relief. Peruna cured me, 4 know it wilt cure any one else ;,v rffers from this disease. It giyea eat pleasure to testify to toe cureffects of this medicine. Peruna well tested and frequently used ledy, and for catarrh of the stomach it is unsurpassed. "My catarrh was principally located In my head and stomach. I tried many remedies without success. I tried several doctors but they were unable to cur* me. I read of Peruna in the papers and five hattift* cured me/'— Frank Richter, The gastric twice is secreted by the mucous follicles of the stomach. When this jntee is normal It digests (dissolves) the food without producing any disturbance whatever. If, however, the gastric juice is sot normal, digestion causes many disagreeable symptoms. This condition Is known as indigestion. \ , your- kind Advice. I never once thought I had catarrh of the stomach. I commenced taking Penma as you directed. My stomach continued to hurt me for about two weeks after I began the medicine a n d then it stopped. I now have a good appetite w h i l e before I w a s nearly starved." —Mrs. Selina Tanner. Mr. L. 0. Marble, of Geneva, Neb., writes: "I do believe that my catarrh is entirely cured. I have not had any trouble with my stomach for a long time, I am as well as one of my ago could expect (seventy years). I have had the catarrh ever since I was a young man, and have doctored for it for years and got very little better, but thanks to you and your Peruna and Manalin I believe I am well of it I can eat anything now and it doesn't hurt me, and Peruna is the only thing I have ever found that will cure the catarrh. I believe It is the*' only cure for catarrh, and I hope every one troubled with catarrh will try Peruna and be cured."—L. O. Marble.

She goes to her family physician and tells him a story, but not the whole story. She holds back something, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals what she ought to have told, and this completely mystifies the doctor. Is it a wonder, therefore, that tho doctor fails to cure the disease ? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very embarrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician. This is t h e reason w h y hundreds of thousands of w o m e n are n o w i n correspondence w i t h Mrs, P i a k h a m , at Lynn, Mass. To her they can give every symptom, so that when she is ready I to advise them she is in possession of more facts from her correspondence with the patient than the physician can possibly obtain through a personal interview. Following we publish a letter from a woman showing the result of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. A l l such letters are considered absolutely confidential by Mrs. P i n k h a m , and are never published in any way or manner without the consent in writing of the patient: but hundreds of women are so grateful for the health which Mrs. Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them that they not only consent to publishing their letters, but write asking that this be done in order that other women who suffer may be benefited by their experience* Mrs. Ella Rice, Chelsea, Wis., writes: " D B A B M B S .

L,u":.. ass The customs, traditions and superstitiom connected with Easter are almost innumerable. Their origins are in many cases impossible to determine, because they evidently took place at a .time when the season was still pagan in its character. Oiuers, again, are directly connected with the Christian ob- -.servaoce of the festival. The early Christians in many countries used to «greet one another on Saster morning •with the salutation: "Christ is risen." The reply to this was: "Christ is risen, indeed, and hath appeared to Simon." "This custom, it is said, is still observed in the Greek church. The giving of eggs at Easter, or tho spring festival, is one of the most widely known, as it is also one of the oldest, of the customs. From the remotest times the egg has stood to the "Eastern nations as the symbol of the universe, and its breaking at that time Jias represented the opening of the new life of the year. When the custom was carried over into Christian practice, the Easter eggs were usually sent to the priests to be blessed and sprinkled with holy water. In later times the coloring and decorating of the eggs was introduced, and in a royal roll of the time of Edward I., which is preserved in the Tower of London, there if an entry of lSd. for 400 eggs, to be used for Easter gifts. In the last few years artificial eggs of candy, china and other materials, and egg-shaped articles of all kinds, have largely replaced the real eggs as Easter gifts. The shop windows each It was the Saturday before Easter, and the children all ran out to the barn to hunt eggs, with Egypt, the tame crow, hopping after them. Nanqy was sure there must be several dozen eggs in the hen house, Billy thought the haymow was the best place to find them, and Kitty said she had seen old Topknot flying out from Dobbin's manger. Egypt said nothing, "CHRIST IS RISEN! " year at this season testify to the ingenuity expended in devising new and attractive objects in which pie idea of the Easter egg shall be preserved. In Paris these Easter presents are generally given on the first day of Passion Week. AH are emblematic of eggs, and are known as "oeufs des Paque," or "Paschal eggs.'' single pin. Nobody knew what he did with them all. He was fond of oggs, too, and I am afraid this was the reason that the children had such a long hunt for thera, and found so few. At last they climbed up the long ladder Into the mow. The hay was piled almost to the roof and covered the windows. It was so dark that Nanny and Kitty were a vittle bit afraid, but Billy went first, floundering along in the hay, just as you wade through a snow drift. "Guess there are nests on this beam," j eaid Billy, "but it's so dark I can't ! see. I'll feel." In went billy's hand, and out it came in a second, with a loud "Ow!"

It is asserted by ethnologists that the transplantation of the European races to newer countries results In the improvement of the- physique. The French Canadian, for example, Is of more hardy frame than the Frenchman In his own country, and the colonialborn Englishman, whether in Canada, South Africa-or AUBtralails, ts, on the average, slightly taller, though not heavier, than the natives of those Islands. But, probably, the most striking example of Increased stature is to be found in the South African Dutchmen, and especially in the Boers of the Transvaal. All travelers agree that not only are the Boers, physically, a much finer race than either the French or the Dutch, from whom they are descended, but that they are probably the tallest race of white men in the world. Two reasons for this remarkable increase In stature naturally suggest themselves. First, the almost perfect climate, which makes the open-air lite of the South African uplands the healthiest in the world, and secondly, the struggle for existence which the emigrants had to fight with the wilderness and the natives, I N D I A N M S I S I O N A R Y S STORY. 3! <mm #*' " ""• * « * t t » < r D . » U * r « l u tli«» 15*»* **Fhf MWica* Htfmtttoes npt belteva that the Mexican dollar can be driven out of the East.

Few other coins have been better received in any part Tears of Toilsome Mini*try Amoeg the Choctaw*. Little York, lad., April 1.-(Special). —Twenty-five years ago the Rev. C. II. Thompson left; Indiana. For a timo he preached in Arkansas, afterwards entering on the regular missionary work among the Choctaw Indians. For five years he lived and labored among the full bloods of the western prairies, until on April 5th, 1S35, having lost his wife, he left the circuit on which he had preached so long, and commenced traveling missionary work among the Indians of the various tribes scattered in the west. This irregular work involved a great deal of travel over tho prairies. The drinking of so much alkali water, brought on kidney troubles which terminated in Diabetes. Finally, while laboring among the Creek Indians at Wagoner, Indian Territory, this noble man was stricken down completely. A Chicago specialist was summoned, and after ;i careful examination declared that thei'e was not the slightest chance of his recovery. Besides the prescriptions of the doctors he tried many other medicines, but all to no avail. He says: "I had concluded tbat my days were drawing to a close, when I picked up an almanac telling of the cures of Diabetes by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I sent for two boxes. I gained strength and spirits from "the time I commenced to uce them, and so I sent for more. I am now completely cured, and have not the slightest symptom of my old trouble. "I am G8 years of age. I tell everybody of the wonders Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for me. I can certainly endorse them heartily, and vouch that they are all that i3 claimed for them. They have certainly been a God-send to me." Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only Remedy that has ever cured Bright's Disease, Diabetes or Drop3y and they never fail. of the world. And anyone who knows the intense conservatism of the Chinese may well doubt if, even in the Philippines (where there are not a few Chinese traders), a new dollar can wholly drive out the time-honored Mexican coin. On the mainland the Mexican dollar is a standard of value, and the Chinesa are marvelously well acquainted with every feature of U, and can detect a counterfeit in the dark!"

"" T R A N g V A A L WAB I T S M t v The following was *a—Ivtid 4rom Lord Kitchener, dated a t Pretoria, March 25: Babington • force, including- Shekeltoa'a column attacked Dalarey 1,500 strong, southwest of Venteradorp, and, having, defeated him, followed him up rapidly w i t h the result that the Boer rear guard was drive* i n and their convoy, including the guns, captured at Vaalbank. Our troops displayed great gallantry and dash. T h e y captured two as-pounder guns, one pompom, six maxims, 330 rounds of big ammunition, 15,000 rounds of small ammunition, 160 rifles, 53 wagons and 24 carta, beside taking 140 prisoners. Our losses were s l i g h t Many Boers were killed or wounded. The new' scheme of military organization in Great Britain m a y b e roughly described us the half-way house to conscription. It involves the development of the existing system of voluntary enlistment and auxiliary services under conditions which preclude reasonable expectation of success. When the experiment has been tried and the results are found unsatisfactory, the way will be opened for compulsory service. The war office will then be in a position to assert that everything w a s done under the voluntary system to provide an adequate army for the defense of the empire, but that men were not forthcoming, and that an elaborate paper scheme proved a failure. The only alternative, from the official and military point of view, will be compulsory service. A dispatch from Lord Kitchener to the war office, dated Pretoria, March 27, says: " Our casualties in Gen. Babington's action were t w o killed and seven wounded. The Boers left 22 dead and 30 wounded. As their pursuit was rapid many more Boer casualties are likely. The operations of March 23 drove the enemv from their positions at Kaffirs Kraal."* In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, Congressman Botkin, of Wlnfleld, Kan., whose fame is a national one, says of Per una: My Dear Doctor—"It gives me pleasure to certify to the excellent curative qualities of your medicines—Peruna and Manalln. I have been atillcted more or less for a quarter of a century with catarrh of the stomach and constipation. A residence In Washington has Increased these troubles, A few bottles of your medicine have given me almost complete relief* and t am sure that a continuation of them will effect a permanent cure. Peruna Is surely a wonderful rem' edy for catarrhal affections."—J. D. Botkin, Congressman-at-Large. f> ONGRESSMAN BOTKIN is one of Peruna will cure this. O the most influential and best known men In the State of Kansas. Whatever he may say on any Eubject will be accepted by the people a s the truth. So famous a remedy as Peruna could not have well escaped the attention of s o famous a man. He not o n l y has heard of the remedy, but he has used It and was relieved of an affliction of twenty-five years' standing. Peruna is the one internal remedy that cures chronic catarrh. It cures catarrh wherever located. This is a fact that the people are rapidly finding out, but there are still a large multitude who need to know I t Mr. Frank Rlchter, of Winona, Minn., says In a letter to The Peruna Medicine Company: "As a remedy for catarrh I take pleasure in recommending Peruna for catarrh of the stomach. I know what it is to be afflicted with this awful disease and consider it my duty to say A word in behalf of the remedy which gave me such relief. Peruna cured me, a n d I know It will cure any one else w h o suffers from this disease. It givea m e great pleasure to testify to the curative effects of this medicine. Peruna Is a well tested and frequently used remedy, and for catarrh of the stomach it Is unsurpassed. "My catarrh was principally located In m y head and stomach. I tried many remedies without success. I tried several doctors but they were unable to cure me. I read of Peruna in the papers and five hatUa* cured me."— Frank Rlchter. The gastric Jrrice is secreted by the mucous fpUtcles of the stomach. When t h i s jafcfe Is normal it digests (dissolves) t h e food without producing any disturbance whatever. If, however, the gastric Juice is not normal, digestion causes many disagreeable symptoms. T h i s condition Is known as indigestion. Mrs. Sellna Tanner, Athens, 0 . , writes: "I cannot find words to express my thanks tor your kind advice. I never once thought I had catarrh of the stomach. I commenced taking Peruna as you directed. My stomach continued to hurt me for about two weeks after I began the medicine a n d then it stopped. I now have a good appetite w h i l e before I w a s nearly starved." —Mrs. Selina Tanner. Mr. L. O. Marble, of Geneva, Neb., writes: "I do believe that my catarrh Is entirely cured. I have not had any trouble with my stomach for a long time. I am as well as one of my age could expect (seventy years). I have had the catarrh ever since I was a young man, and have doctored for It for years and got very little better, but thanks to you and your Peruna and Manalln I believe I am well of i t I can eat anything now and It doesn't hurt me, and Peruna is the only thing I have ever found that will cure the catarrh. I believe it Is the only cure for catarrh, and I hope every one troubled with catarrh will try Peruna and be cured."—L, O. Marble. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you h i t valuable advice gratis.

Interest in the capture and fate of Aguinaido is well nigh overshadowed in Manila by sensational developments present and prospective, of frauds in the commissary department. How widely these extend has not yet been ascertained, but enough is already known to justify the belief that they are far-reaching. Capt. F. J. Barrows of the 30th volunteer infantry, quartermaster of the department of southern Luzon, together w i t h seven commissary sergeants, several civilian clerks, a prominent government contractor, the assistant manager of the Hotel Oriente. the proprietors of three of the largest bakeries in Manila, a number of storekeepers and other persons have been arrested. The investigation has scarcely begun, but thousands of sacks of flour, a quantity of bacon and wagon loads of other goods, all bearing government marks, have been found in possession of unauthorized persons. It is alleged that the contractor in question, who has been doing a business approximating $100,- 000 per month, has spent huge sums in entertaining officers. The navy department on Mar. 31 received a cablegram from Admiral Remey. commander-in-chief of the Asiatic station, giving a brief account of a fire in the sail room of the gunboat Petrel and of the death of the commanding officer, Lieut.-Com. Jesse M. Roper as a result of an heroic effort to rescue the men below. The dispatch also shows that 22 other officers and men were prostrated, but all are recovering. Since the capture of Aguinaido two large surrenders and many smaller ones have occurred. The two important surrenders was that of Gen. Geronimo, the insurgent leader in the province of Morong-Luzon, with 6 officers, 40 men and 50 rifles; Sutnulao. Mindanao, fl officers, 100 men, 1ST rifles and SO shotguns. It is altogether probable that Ag* uninaldo will be deported from the Philippines. A report from Washington says that Gen. Funston has been made a brigudier- general.

She goes to her family physician and tefls him a story, but not the whole story. She holds back something, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals what she ought to have told, and this completely mystifies the doctor. Is it a wonder, therefore, that tho doctor fails to cure the disease ? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very embarrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician. This is t h e reason why hundreds of thousands of w o m e n are n o w i n corre* spondence w i t h Mrs. P i a k h a m , at Lynn, Mass. To her they can give every symptom, so that when she is ready to advise them she is in possession of more facts from her correspondence with the patient than the physician can possibly obtain through a personal interview. Following we publish a letter from a woman showing tbe result of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. All such letters are considered absolutely confidential by Mrs. Pinkham, and are never published in any way or manner without the consent in writing of the patient jbut hundreds of women are so grateful for the health which Mrs. Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them that they not only consent to publishing their letters, but write asking that this be done in order that other women who suffer may be benefited by their experience. Mrs. Ella Rice, Chelsea, Wis., writes: " D S A B MRS. PraKHjLM:—For t w o years I was troubled w i t h falling and inflammation of the womb.

It lias sometimes been said by unthinking people that the seacoast cities of the United States are not well denave never urfoi*e ueeo emronec sy toe United State* Government, and feuded. A flood of new light will be let m o r e i m p o r t a n c e "to t h e g e n e r a l ! , n t o ^ flooniy minds by the Ord- , , . v» .. ,. >/ir., , . , nance exhibit of the Wa public. . Before the 60 s whiskey was made by all the country distilleries from rye and sold for 25c a gallon. After Mr. Lincoln got into the White House, he found the treasury in such a condition - he had to tax everything taxable, and one thing was whiskey. That went up to $2 a gallon. The saloon- keeper was at his wit's end; he couldn't sell a glass of whisky for the old price and pay that tax. But the druggist came to his relief. I was then H traveling man, nay route being from Chicago to Omaha by the Rock Island. At one town I stopped at the depot and the agent told me he had recieved a package in his offic" one afternoon for a saloon-keeper in that town from a druggist in Chicago, and (That it was in very bad condition, looked as if it had been opened. Upon investigation he had found it to contain four packages, all labeled "Poison." The bill of cost was £6, and attached to the bill was a foot note in which the druggist said, "If yon will put these four powders into your whiskey barrel and~~~fill it full of water I will guarantee you as good a barrel of whiskey as you ever had in your house." And I was told a few days ago that the saloonkeeper makes all his own whiskey nowadays. -Respectively, Austin, 111. :s F. PAGE. ar Department at the Pan-American Exposition. When the Exposition opens for its six months' season at Buffalo on May 1 of this year, the early visitor will find the largest aud most powerful guardians of our seaeoasts ever exhibited by the United States Government. Even the smaller of the two great new guns in the Government exhibit nt the Exposition will be larger than any ever before displayed by our Uncle Samuel. Captain Peter C. Harris, who represents the War Department, in charge of the entire war exhibit, has been engaged actively for months upon his great work of collecting the newest display of the kind ever made in this country. It was an absurd question perhaps that I asked when I Inquired if his exhibits would be ready on May 1, as though there were any other alternative for a soldier. The Captain looked reprovingly at mo. But of the guns—great guns, indeed; big around as a locomotive boiler, thirty odd feet long, with a more savage muzzle than ever coughed destruction upon any hostile fleet; built with the accuracy of a watch; so delicate in adjustment that a little finger may traverse the gun. thus moving a weight of nearly half a million pounds, yet a machine to spout a volcano blast and to ' create an earthquake at the will of man! j The big gun of which I speak is a United States Army twelve-inch breecbloading rifle, model of 1S95, mounted upon a disappearing carriage. Its weight, stripped of everything, e v e n - t h e breech block, is 115,000 pounds. Its total length is 3G 88-100 feet The maximum diameter at the breech is 44.5 inches. It throws an armor piercing shot weighing 1,000 pounds, the length of which Is three and one half feet. It also throws a projectile, an armor piercing shell weighing j 1,000 pounds, four feet long, carrying a bursting charge of 39.4 pounds of gun cotton. The charge of powder Is 240 pounds of smokeless or 490 pounds of brown prismatic powder. The muzzle velocity of the projectiles under the above conditions is 2,300 feet per second, with a maximum pressure per Bquare Inch of 87,000 pounds. The muzzle energy is 30,671 foot tons. The power of penetration in steel at the muzzle Is 30.0 inches, at 1,000 yards 28.5 inches, at 2,500 yards 25.5 inches and at 3,500 yards 23.5 inches. The total weight of the gun and carriage t* ¢77,009 pounds. The carriage is twenwrecked in b o d y and m i n d , r u i n e d jty-flve feet in diameter at the base, and the gun when in firing position is seventeen feet above the base of the carriage. When the shot is fired, the recoil causes the mechanism to lower the gun seven and one-half feet behind the parapet. The gun has an accuracy of aim for about eight miles, and the extreme range is about double that distance.

What foul deeds have been committed in thy name, A talented physician, who ten years ago had a happy , home and enjoved a lucrative practice in this city, believed in "personal liberty," and one day last week financially, and without a home tie to bind him to earth, he died and charity gave him a christian burial. And he is but one of thousands of victims to this traffic which cries out for personal liberty and good wages for the working classes.

The mounting of these mammoth pteces of ordnauce has been in the immediate charge ot Lieutenant R. II. C. Ketton and a small detail of artilleryman. To enable the observer readily to make an intelligent comparison of the mounts of our seacoast guns Captain Harris has caused to be placed by the side of the great twelve-Inch gun a ten- 1qgh rifle on a barbette carriage. In a NJRwfte carriage the rifle is at all tWJtoi exposed above the parapet, The readier may remember the discussion on the subject between General Miles and the Ordnance Board, the general not favoring the disappearing device, chiefly on account of its complicated mechanism and its liability to got out of order. Each carriage appears to have Its particular use. On elevated sites the parapet furnishes all the protection required, but on a flat coast the disappearing would seen to possess very great advantage. It Is thought that on low sites the rifle must be mounted either on a disappearing carriage or In a turret. The expense of a. turret is estimated at about four and a half times the cost of the disappearing carriage. TO Cure a Cold in One Day- Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

The Endicott Board on Ordnance and Fortifications a number of years ago decided in favor of the disappearing carriage, and the department has been laboring to obtatn a satisfactory one. The one suowu at the Fau-Ameriean Exposition is considered tbe most perfect in tbe world. The ten-inch breecbloading rifle is from the model of ISO.J and weighs 00,- 700 pounds. Its total length is <10,76 feet, and the diameter of the breech is thirty-seven inches. The projectile is an armor piercing shot or shell. ^Tbe shell carries a bursting charge of*22.4 pounds of gun cotton and weighs 075 pounds, having a length of four feet. Tbe solid shot is three and one-half feet long. The powder charge is 140 pounds of smokeless powder, and the muzzle velocity of the projectile is 2.300 feet in a second. The maximum pressure per square inch is 37,000 pounds. The muzzle energy with the charge of smokeless powder is 21.080 foot tons. Tbe gun has a penetrating .power of twenty Inches In steel at 2,500 yards. At the right of the ten-inch gun a twelve-inch mortar has been mounted, and it is no small affair. Farther to the right is a five-Inch rapid Are gun. Ail are mounted behind sections of a parapet, and me iuu/ Dlr^s renr^sent one gun oi eaen type useo in seacoast rorofications. To the left of the great twelve-Inch disappearing gun will be exhibited the old seacoast ordnance of the United States, arranged in a historical series, the twelve-Inch gun Itself representing the climax. Near the small building specially constructed for this purpose will be displayed the mountain, held and siege guns of the present day, together with types of old guns used in the different wars in which the United States have been engaged. The Ordnance exhibit will show the historical development of ordnance in tbe United States, a gun representing every type adopted by the United States and showing tbe evolution of guns, mortars and howitzers. Among fhe howitzers will be one made in 1793. There will also be thirty or forty trophy guns, displayed according to per'- od of capture. A novel feature will be a trophy fountain, representing a bursting shell, with water spouting from Its crevices. This wifl be mounted on«3a pile of projectiles, surrounded by trophy guns. The largest guns mounted in any of our seacoast batteries during the war of 1S1U were twenty-four pounders, the diameter of bore being less than six inches and the weight of guns 5,500 pounds. They were a little over ten feet long, and the powder charge was six and eight pounds of black powder. They were mounted upon wooden carriages. In 1821) the thirty-two pounder, with a caliber of G.41 inches, using a charge of eight to ten pounds of bl.4>.-k powder, was adopted, and in 1831 the forty-two pounder, with a caliber of seven inches and using ten t6 fourteen pounds of black powder, came iii'to use. In 1844 the eight and ten inch Columbiads fired a shot weighing sixty-five pounds and used a charge of ten to fifteen pounds of black powder. The ten- Inch shot weigher! 120 pounds, and the powder charge was eighteen and twenty pounds. t In 1801 the first rifteen-Inch Rodman gun was cast. These guns were smoothbores of cast iron. Tbe process of manufacture-was evolved by General Rodman, who, to prevent injurious strains produced by cooling castings from the exterior, cast these guns on a hollow core and cooled by a stream of water or air passing through the core. Rodman's flfteen-inch gun fired a shot weighing 428,pounds with a charge of forty pounds of black pow der and was the first great gun Introduced in modern times In nuy service. Just before .the Civil War rifled muskets and guns began to displace smoothbores. Captain Parrott's rifles were tbe first ones of large-caliber used in the United States service. The largest of these had an eight and tea inch none and w<nf cart hpltor and cooled" from the• interior on tne «oaman plan. They were strengthened by shrinking a coiled band of wrought Iron over that portion of the gun which surrounds the powder charge. The ! eight-inch Parrott rifle fired an elon- ! gated projectile weighing 150 pounds i with a charge of sixteen pounds of Vlack powder. The ten-inch rifle fired a 250,pound elongated projectile with twenty-tive pounds of powder. Inside of the main Government building will be exhibited tbe machine guns J of all kinds, including the automatic 'gun now being used by the United j States Army in tbe Philippines and China; also several hundred small arms, showing tbe development of j these arms from the match lock, wheel | lock, flint lock and percussion cap lock j to the breecbloading magazine small ; arms of today. j In tbe Engineering section of the (War Department will be exhtblted 1 models of engineering work, both military and those constructed by our Engineer Corps In the river and harbor work. Among the latter will be models of the breakwater being constructed in Buffalo harbor. A very interesting collection of models of engineer Ing work on the Mississippi River will also be displayed. Two of the Mississippi models—the Hydraulic Dredging Plant and Hydraulic Grader—-were given the grand prize in the recent Paris exposition. Cntinutvt )i P t f e F i r o .

A stage wedding of two members of a burlesque troupe was announced to he performed in a Washington theater, but the high contracting parties found It impossible to secure the services of a person competent- to perform the ceremony. The Rev. John Naile of Trappe, Pa., recently celebrated the- 100th anniversary of bis birth. He was born near Westminster, Ind.. February IS, 1S01, a»d is probably the oldest clergyman in the United States. Mr. Nailo was ordained at the age of 40. Senate document No. 177 gives a report of tests of fireproof woods from the torpedo-boat Winslow, the purpose being to determine whether the process is enduring. The result was very satisfactory, showiDg that the wood treated five years ago had lost none of its fireproof qualities. While cutting up a poplar at his saw mill in Lee county, Va., C. R. Kesterton found an augur hole plugged by a pin. On removing the pin he found in the hole five $20 gold pieces bearing dates between 1850 and I860. The coins are supposed to have besn hid there for safe keeping during the civil war. While Mr. Carnegie was depleting his fortune by $5,200,000 for libraries in New York, Mr. John D. Rockefeller was increasing his by ¢6,200,000, representing a single quarterly dividend on his Standard Oil stock. If Mr. Rockefeller wanted to get rid of his Drofits on that stock alone he would have to build about one $80,000 library a day. Out of 534,922,644 contributed in 19C0 by charitable persons in the Unite.l States to educational institutions only a little more than $1,000,000 was giv?c to southern schools and colleges.

The scene pictured showed a w c m a i in the foreground, in light atf.re, with her throat cut. All the members cf the association refused to post it. The duties of the censors are said to b: exercised with tact and discrimination. The fate which seems to come to all communistic colonies has overtaken the Altruistic association formed about a year ago near Burlington, N. J. The plan of the promoters was to form a settlement where there should ,be no police or magisterial system and no laws or rules save those of court?sy. The novelty of farm life soon wore off, and many of the colonists returned to the busy world, where pay wa3 better and life more exciting.

Wherefore the lady seek3 separation and alimony.. It has long been a disputed question whether America w a s peopled from Asia. The chief argument against the theory that man made his approach to this continent across Bering strait has been the lack of resemblance in culture between the aborigines of this country and the known races of Asia. This may be accounted for, a Washington scientist maintains, by the fact that all the Asiatic arts and customs would in the course of generations have been frozen out of any migratory peoples In their getting around Bering strait. As the tribes moved northward they would lose the characteristics of their life, one after another, notably agriculture and domestic animals, until finally, pressing near t h e polar circle their whole energies would be absorbed in finding food and keeping warm. With his culture thus fatten out, according t o this theory, early man crossed Bering strait, and as he moved southward on this continent developed Improved ways of living, but after such a long interval of time that the oew customs were entirely distinct from tbefte of Asia.

How to stay the advance of "Creeping Joe" is the problem that is bothering the authorities of Manistee, and unless it can be solved the city water works plant and a number of handsome residences will before many years be buried in sand. "Creeping Joe" is the local name of a high ridge of sand which extends along the shore of Lake Michigan the whole length of that city. The winds from Lake Michigan are continually blowing the sand from the top of the ridge down the inland »side of it, and blowing other sand from the wido beach up to the summit, with the result that the ridge is steadily traveling further and further from the shore. At present it separates the residence portion of the city from the water front, and has advanced so far that several residences will have t o be removed or else abandoned to bo buried by the sand. The city's water works plant is in the same predicament Away back in the days when Manistee w a s a village, a cemetery w a s platted at the top of the hill and quite a number of burials made there. Several years ago the city authorities, anticipating that the action of the wind on the sand would before long disinter the bodies, exhumed as many of them ns could be found and transferred them to the present cemetery. Many of them, however, could not be located, and the unusually severe storms of the past winter have uncovered some of these, so that the bones lie scattered about on the surface of the ground. Cyclones Commencing Karly. A territic and destructive cyclone passed near Vicksburg and through Emmett, Scott's Station and Pavilion, about nine miles southeast of Kalamazoo, at noon on the -.Mb. The storm approached from the west and just, before reaching Vicksburg lifted and left the main portion of the town unharmed.

The Grand River has reached the danger limit at Grand Rapids, being over 12 feet above the normal level. A dozen factories on its banks are idle being completely surrounded by water. A terrific wind and rain storm did considerable damage at Adarasville and was accompanied by a huge waterspout which sucked all of the water from the bed of Christiana Creek.

When the good ship "Port Philip" -came galling home from Australia to England many an anxious parent or lover or friend awaited her arrival upon the harbor pier, eager to welcome those who had been so Ions absent, and who were now returning to leave their native lard no more. Moat of these wanderers had left their home and friends in search of gold. Some had been successful, and were returning in the first flush of victorious pride, some had failed and were coming back like the prodigal son uf old, willing to eat even the crumbs that might fall from the paternal table, so that the diet of the empty husks in a far land should be theirs no more. Some were strong and happy, some were ill and sad; but for all alike a welcome was waiting the moment they touched the land. For all, did I say? There was one on board for whose antral no friend was watching, one who came unnoticed and unknown to the land of his birth, one for whom no home more genial than ah inn would open wide its doors. Among the eager and excited throng who talked to themselves and each other of the friends they hoped to see, he stood a silent listener, with no story of the kind to offer in return. When they landed at last, his late companions were lost to his view among groups of relations and acquaintances, but not a hand was outstretched, not a voice was raised to welcome him. He stood a few moments watching the interchange of greetings, the prayers, the tears of grateful Joy, then turned away with quivering lips'and moistened eyes. "Shall I never be missed, never be mourned over like that?" was his thought as he passed from the pier to the busy streets, and made the, 'best of his way to a hotel, to which he had been recommended by the captain of his ship. "Three and twenty years old, and the world before me! That sounds well, but when I know that the world contains no love, no home, no happiness, that I may honestly claim—Ah, well, "never mind! I'm not going to be a baby, and cry for the moon; so, adieu to sentiment of every kind, while I drop anchor in this bustling town. Hero is, the 'Eagle* right before me, and for the sum of one guinea I can purchase smiles without'number from the worthy host." So saying, he entered the "Eagle" and ordered his dinner. But sad thoughts still seemed to haunt him, and when the repast had been cleared away he sat brooding over the fire, biting rather than smoking his cigar, and pulling the ends of his moustache with a frown. At last some memory of the past touched him too keenly. He brofca Into a bitter laugh. "The fool I was when I was young!" he thought to himself. "How well I remember tne wild dreams that kept me company when I began the race! What wonderful things I was to accomplish then! How soon I was to build my fortune! How I was going about doing good, comforting the sad, reliewing the poor, raising up the oppressed. Howsoon I accomplished all those schemes! How much better tho world must be to-day because I have lived In itr* His face grew still more sad, as he mused. "I laugh at th«ise things now, and yet it mokes me unhappy. That would have been a beautiful life If I could but have lived it. Iwould rather have the heart of those days that could plan the scheme than this I must now own that can only ridicule it! But the young romance has gone. It haunts me no longer. My nature is as barren and worldly as—as even she could desire." There It was you see. That irrepressible "she" who Is sure to be at the bottom of every perplexity and trouble a man con know. He tugged at his moustache fiercely, and flung his cigar in the grate. "I can^see the place now as if in a dream." he groaned. "Those hills and distant mountains; that calm sky, so 'darkly, deeply, beautifully blue,' the sheep upon the hill side, and the cattle la the pasture chewing the cud lazily, and lying still to feel the warmth! And that other day, a week later, when the sky was heavy with rain. A chill, raw wind blew from those kills* the roadway wet and sodden; sa was the glen, through all its fallen leaves, YeV she stood there, bright and gay, and testiest and happy. 1 She let the wind blow through her carts, the lifted her face to catch the fallen rain. Great heaven! how beautiful she was! And I have lost her—I shall nertr tee her again!" He groaned:,' ana covered his faee with Mi hand*. Five minutes * & & * $ & $ & & —then ho started from his seat. "This won't do," he ejaculated. "Byron says: " 'Man, being reasonable, must get drunk.' A I agree with him; but one can't well get drunk before the orthodox hours of 10 or 11 .p.. m. Then no one minds it. It Is now 6 o'clock—four hours before I can carry out the Byronic thoory. I know what I'll do. I'll go to town and see my uncle and my little pet, Rose." He rang the bell for a time-tablefound that an express train started for London at halt' past 6. At that time to a minute he was on his way to Mr. Cowley's house In Mscklenburg S<y.:are. CHAPTER VII. "Tea is ready, if you please, Mrs. Magnum." At that announcement, made in a very clear yet pleasant voice, Mrs. Magnum started out of her nap, which she had been enjoying in the depths of her velvet chair, rubbed her eyes, and' looked up at a young lady who stood on the hearth-rug, a few paces from her. "Eh? What did you say, Mis3 Marjorie?" she asked, sharply. "Tea is ready," replied Mis3 Marjorie, taking her seat at the head of the table as she spok3. "Humph," muttered Mrs. Magnum, eyeing her with a~sour look: of dissatisfaction. "Well," you may pour me out a cup. But where is Mr. Magnum, and Julius, and dear Kate? It Is really extraordinary, that when I am so punctual myself, everyone belonging to mo should be perfectly unable to understand the value of time, or come to their meals at the proper hours. 1 am sure, when I was a girl, my mamma wov.ld have—" What her mamma would have don? in a similar state of things Miss Marjorie never knew, for at that moment the door opened, and a corpulent, rodfaced, gocd-humored looking man entered, closely toll-owed by a stupidlooking boy of 12. The young la?y subsided into a graceful attitude upen the scfa; tin boy established himself at Miss Marjorie's; e*bow, and beg^n an indiscriminate assault upon the eatables; but Mr. Magnum dutifully supplied his wife with a cup of tea and plate of bread and butter before beginning his own meal, which he took at the small table which always stood beside her easy chair. "Well, my dear," he said, c^aerfully, "how has the world used you to-day?" "As usual," was the whining re?ly. "Tho neuralgia any better?" "No, my dear." "And the headache?" "As bad as ever." "Dear! dear!" said Mr. Magnum, sympathising. Mrs. Magnum sighed and leaned her head upon her hand. She was the invalid of the family. From early morn to dewy eve sho sat in her velvet chair; and during nine months of tho year, before a fire hot enough to roast an ox. The atmosphere of the parlor wss so stifling as to make a stranger i'eel faint after breathing it for five minutes at a time; but Mr. Magnum and his son and daughter inhaled it contentedly enough. Miss Marjorle, indeed, was constantly troubled with giddiness and determination of blood to the head; but she was only a companion, and no one paid much attention to her ailments, unless they were of an obstinately intrusive kind. So, through ths sharp winter the double windows of the parlor were closed and padded, and list was nailed around the doors, and sand bags laid at every crack and crevice, lest a breath of cold air should by any chance steal through; and the invalid, basking before ths pilei-up grate.dozcd and ate. and drank.through the short days and long evenings, till the light and hsat of summer forced her to live a little less liks a salamander and a little more like an ordinary human being. Mr. Magnum was a retir:d ironmonger, who had made money enough out of his pots and koitles to leave, them forever in his fifty-fifth year. It had been his father's business before him, and he had started therein at the ag> of 21 with the snug sum of one thousand pounds as pocket money, to say nothing of a trade connection extending half over the Black County. Yet, in speaking of thr*eariler part of his life he was accustomed to allude to himself pathetically as a "poor orphan," and to hln-t mysteriously at terrible hardships undergone by h i m - leaving you to infer that those hardships had been surmounted by him alone, without the tUghtett aid. The story had a somewhat ludicrous effect Fata you gated at tot* face of the ~...i*jQYt and beard the puffing sighs with whteh -his coeetty compelled him over to interlard i t Certainly no one looked less Hk9 a "poor orphan" than he. Tea was at length over. Mrs. Magnum ne^itled herself into the easiest corner of her easy chair. Julius went out; the fair Kitty began to crochet, and Mr. Magnum read the dally paper laboriously aloud jf any one listencd to political speeches and stock lists it was not Mtss Marjorle. She sat in a far comer of the room, ostensibly engaged in correcting a French exercise of Miss Kitty's, but really thinking of a time and a person far, far away. At last Mr. Magnum put down his papsr and turned to his wifs, with the air of one who hag a secret of importance to reveal. "My dear, who do you think I met at the works to-day?" "How should 1 «know?" replied Mrs. Magnum, somewhat testily. "Some horrid ironmaster, I presume." "No, my love—quite a different person. A banker. You must remember hearing me speak of him. Mr. Cowley, of Mecklenburg Square." Miss Marjorle looked up, flushed and agitated, from her drawing, but no one heeded her. "Mr. Cowley," replied Mrs. Magnum, slowly. "Yes, I remember hearing you speak of him. What is he doing here?" "You would never guess, my love. He has a house." "In this neighborhood?" "Yes, within a mile of U3." "But what house can there be to let so near? I know of tone. Do you, Kitty, darling?" "No, mamma." "Yes you do, both of you," replied Mr. Magnum; triumphantly. "Only it is just the last housa any one in their senses would, think of taking. It is Hollow Ash Hall." "What!" exclaimed Mr3. Magnum, from amons her cushions. "It is true, my love. Cowley has taken it." "Is he mod?" "No—quite sane." "How Ions is he to star?" "I can't say, my dear. I only saw him ?. moment." "Who is with him"" "Hie wife and two daughters." "Tl'sn they must be mai!" "So I should say," replied Kitty darling trom her s^fa. "I never hoard of such a thing, Mr. Magnum." "Nor any one else, my love. All Banle7 is wild about it." "Quite likely." "Cowley says it will do coo^-" "How?" "He thinks that people will net be afraid of the place after any one ha^ lived i- «t." "Stuff and nonsense!" "So I say, my dear." "How leng have they boon there?" "Nearly a west." "Have they seen anything?" "Well, to tell tho truth, 1 asked him thnt." "What did he say?" "Just what you said a moment agr\" "VTxat?" "Stuff a»d nonsense!" "Ah, bv.t t'.id he mean it?" "I thin&so. He was quite cho;t with me'becar.3e I irsked." "What did he want at the works?" inquired Mrs. Magnum, after a moment's pause. "A shovel and a pickax:;, arc! two or t^ree oth?r tools." "Then he has seen or ho.'.rd something; and ht? is going to pull the hall to pieces in order to hnd it," replied the lady, with junusual energy. Mr. Magnum shook his head. "I wonder if the place ii haunted?" he observed, in a musing tcn°. "Good gracious! How can you doubt "People pftcn tell sv.ch rldicukui storic3 about ""all places hke that. What if all the sights and sounds should bs nothin" but—rats!" At this heresy Mrs. Magnum held up her hands In horror. (To be Continued.) wicyjRisiffi Captured by Gen. Fred Funston on March 23.

Afruinaldo was captured there March 2?>. The United States gunboat Vicksburg with Gen. Funston and Agmnaldo on board, arrived at Manila on the 03th. In January1 Aguinaldo, from his hiding place, wrote letters anathematizing the Filipinos who had taken the oath of allegiance to the U. S. Later he order certain rebel forces in southern Luzon to join him. The rebel officer intrusted with these orders scpretly negotiated with the Americans and Gen. Funston planned the capture of the rebel chieftain, and started out with Surgeon-Major Harris, Capt Newton of the 34th infantry, six vetorao scouts and a company of native scouts on the jjuuboat Vicusburg. The force was landed on a remote beach above Baler, since which time they have not been heard from until the news of the capture.

Terrible Mine Kxploalon. The first and most fatal mine explosion to occur in the new Klondike region of Fayette county, Pa., happened on the 25th. One man was killed inatantly, five will die and 10 are burned and crushed so terribly that it is doubtful if they will recover. The body of the dead man is missing, toe injured men have been taken to the hospital at ConaellavUkev mad as a result of the exnUsloa the mine la on firs. ing lands of Western Canada. Tens of thousands have taken advantage of the offer made by the Canadian government as well as of the exceedingly low prices asked for lands by the railway, colonization and other companies. The experience of those who have been settled there for some little time is of a highly gratifying character. So much so that the Canadian government, who has control of the immigration into Western Canada, has decided to open up some new districts this year in the well -known Saskatchewan Valley and also in the fertile plains of Assiniboia. These Districts are probably the most productive in the entire West and in close touch to largely settled communities as well as beins situated on some of the most important lines of railway. They are within easy reach of markets, schools, ctiurcnes and other Bocial advantages. In some of these districts lands may be homesteaded as well as purchased outright at very low prices. Now as to what can be done on these lands. The evidence of the settlers in the neighborhood of the lands now about to be opened for settlement (.some of them being, located in one of the best Indian Reservations) goes to show that the very best results have followed even most indifferent methods. Case3 are given where farmers having gone there with most limited means, barely enough to erect a small house and break up a little land, have in three or four years time become prosperous, all debts paid and money In the bank. The soil In the Districts Mentioned, Assiniboia and Saskatchewan, is a rich black loam, fifteen inches to thiee feet deep. A s a settler says, "It appears like the accumulation of decayed vegetation and ashes for centuries (.the sub-soil is a stiff, putty clay)." On this soil it is possible to raise from 40 to 50 bushels of wheat to the acre, oat3 75 to 100 bushels, all of which bring good prices at the local market. For mixed farming these new districts are probably among the best in Western Canada. Stock fatten easily on the wild grasses. Hey is plentiful, and prices splendid. Ano.her Battler writing to a friend in Iowa says: "The climate is all that could be desired, plenty of rainfall in summer, with no hot, dry winds. On the 28th of September I saw prairie flowers in full bloom, sweet com. potato and tomato vines that aad not been touched a particle with frost; and the w.nters are milder than these in the State from which I came. After the holidays the winter sets in clear and cold, witn plenty of snow fcr good sleighing; no high winds or blizzards are known. Horses live out all winter and pick their own living, while cattle live all winter in open sheds and around the hay ricks. Wheat, oats and baney are the principal grain crops. .Potatoes and all other roots and vegetables do well, the yield being enormous as compared to those In the States. Wile* fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, gooseberries and al< varieties of currants yield in abundance. As a reader of your valuable paper for a number of years, I feel that I should inform you of the progress and advancement being made in Canada within the paot few years, and th9 inducements and advantages that will follow settlement in Western Canada. Those who desire information can do as I did, and apply to any Agent ot the Canadian Government, wncse name I see appears In advertisements appearing elsewhere in the columns of your paper, and when writing ask particularly aoout the Saskatchewan Valley* or Assiniboia Districts.

It is a squalid tenement house—or worse yet—a poverty-stricken apartment— one room- in a squalid tenement house— located in the poorest, dirtiest and most unhealthiul precinct of a big city. It is a breeding pen for germs that carry contagion, disease and death. It is at once a kitchen, a dining-room and a sleeping-room. Sometimes its occupants number four—and sometimes eight and ten—half-starved, emaciated men, women and children—and their principal employment is tailoring ( ? ) — piece-workers on garments sent them by Tailoring houses and clothing manufacturers. We breathe freer when we recall the fact that we sell tailoring made by— The Royal Tailors, of Chicago-—a world famous tailoring house—a house that employs no " "sweat-shop" labor—a house carrying on its "entire business in a mammoth sanitary building on Chicago's beautiful Michigan Boulevard. We have just received from this house nearly six hundred exquisite patterns in Spring and Summer Suitings of Foreign and Domestic Weave, Something to please everybody — cut to individual measurements—for both m i n and boys-r—at the lowest prices e$$z quoted for high grade merchant tailoring. l ri- Royal Tailoring is good and wholesome, and is sold under a guaranty which insures :ion of style, fit and workmanship.

Fletcher, of Alpena, and Henry W. Carey, of Manistee, will not run far behind the head of the ticket From meager reports received it is more than probable that the legislative salary and the Bay county court amendments to the constitution were defeated. For the state ticket Wayne county w e n t overwhelmingly Republican. Montgomery, for supreme court justice, and Fletcher and Carey for regents of the university, carried every ward in the city.

The Detroit plant of the American Radiator Co., located in the northeastern part of Detroit, was visited by a disastrous fire on the night of the 5th. F. W. Hodges, manager of the plant, «ays it is difficult at this writing to give any satisfactory estimate of the loss, but h e placed the damage at some where near f 100,000, and he thought the loss was fully covered by insurance., The fire started in the machine shop and spread to the warerooms, pattern shop, carpenter shop and tool room, which were all in the same building. This building, with the machinery and stock it contained, was a total wreck, but the foundry, which w a s separated from it only by a narrow alley at the east end and the power house a t the west end, were saved. The plant covers about seven acres of ground and the building that was destroyed extended east and west along the south line of the property. i t was a one-story brick structure, erected about 10 .veir* ago, and was 000 feet in length by 113 feet in breadth. Exciting; Elect&n at Jerome. The people of Jerome have voted -against the consolidation of their four school districts, and the result of the vote has been sent to Lansing in the hope that the consolidation act will be repealed before the legislature adjourns. The act was slipped through the legislature early in the session, and when its provisions became generally known a howl of indignation arose. A most bitter feeling was engendered, and finally as a compromise a local election was ordered at which die wildest excitement prevailed. Women were taken from sick beds and icarried to the polls to vote. Men •called each other liars and other harsh names, and several fist fights were prevented with difficulty.

IF every one in the world were healthy and happy what a glad day Easter would ' be. But t*a sun rises every Easter morning on a multitude of sick and afflict" fid The Easter lilies gladden the hearts of the sick and well alike.

Nearly one-half the people In the United States are suffering from some form or phase of catarrhal ailment These ailments take different forms at different seasons of the yean In the springtime catarrh assumes a systemic form, producing nervousness, lassitude and general languor. Systemic catarrh deranges the digestion and through deranged digestion it impoverishes or contaminates the blood. Thus we have blood diseases and nervous derangements through systemic catarrh. * Peruna is a specific for these cases. No other remedy yet devised by the medical profession is able, to successfully meet so many phases of spring ailments as Peruna. } Men and women everywhere are praising Peruna as follows: A First Class Tonic Wm. A. Collier, Assistant Paymaster U. S.N., write*: "I have taken Peruna and recommend It to those needing a tlnOeiau tonic " A Great Tonic Hon. M. C Butler, Ex-U. S.

John Chinaman'* Limited Chance. The life of a Chinaman is circumscribed. He can have no genuine ambition. He can never climb the ladder of fame or fortune without dragging his clan with him. There Is no such thing as starting as an office hoy and ending as the president of a railroad, or of beginning life as a newsboy and rounding off his career as the governor of a province. There is no such a thing as a son attaining a fortune in trade and living in a city mansion while his aged father Uvea on the old farm and rejoices in still being independent of his son's help. The boy choses neither his occupation nor-his home nor his bride nor his companions. They are all prepared for him and he never dreams of acting independently in anything.—Gunton's Magazine. •I 04reera* Blreeisnaeelatns.

One farmer I visited threshed of 175 acres: "600 bushels of wheat from fifteen acres, 40 bushels to acre. , "600 bushels o * barley from tea acres, 60 bushels to acre. "15,000 bushels of oats from 150 acres, 100 bushels to acre. "The samples were all No. 1. "I also saw a considerable number of stock. Swine do well and there is no disease amongst them. They are a good source of income to the farmer. The cattle on the range beat anything I ever saw. Fat and ready for beef, fully matured and ripened on the nutritious grasses of the prairie.

In the i orth of England 'mon' certainly occurs; in Scottish speech never. In Scott and Stevenson one may look i'cr it in vain. The broad, soft vocalization of the word in Lothian dialect 4ies somewhere between 'maun' and 'maun,' but us it cannot be literally symbolized the word should be spelt in dialect passages simply as in English."

CAULIFLOWER CULTURE. b a t Calling the Doctor. A good story, is told of. Dr. X., who is the physician in charge of the female wards of one of our best known charitable institutions. One evening about 9 o'clock Mary, a new Irish servant girl, knocked at the dc or, saying-. "Doctor, the head nhrse wants you to come down to supper." The doctor, swelling in his pride of superiority above the nurses, sent the Irish girl away \vith~a-curt message." Half an hour later the hpad nurse came to his room looking very serious. "Doctor," she said, "No. 8 is very bad indeed. I think you ought to see her at once." "Why did you not let me know before?" was the reply. "Why, doctor." said the nurse. "T sent you word by Mary half an hour ago." "The fool!" said the doctor. "She told me to come down to supper!" "Why," said the nurse, "1 sent yon word to come down to eight!" An inquiry made the whole thing clear. Mary thought it more polite to say "Come down to supper" than to say "Come down to ato."~rearson's Weekly. A SCIENTIFIC VIEW OF THE ALLEGEC CRUELTY OF THE SPORT. T h e Crop Not a S t a n d a r d One, UiiM Good P r o f i t In It. "There is a good profit in growing cauliflowers for market if the conditions are all right, but with the culture Cften given them they are not a reliable crop. In growing cauliflowers for sale the first thing to be considered is a market for these luxuries. The crop is not a staple one, like some i which are considered necessaries - of i life, and you must lind people who want them and are able to buy them," says-- a successful grower who gives practical directions on the subject In Vick's Magazine as follows: It is uot'U'st to economize too much In purchasing seeds. The higher priced strains of white cauliflowers, where the type has become established by careful selection for several years, are more reliable iu heading, and the whiter the heads the better they will sell in the market. The large pure white curds, with the leaves trimmed nicely around th^m. attract the eye. and people buy r:!'!a because they "look nice."

"The only place, as far as law Is concerned, where it costs money to die from natural causes is aboard a steamship," remarked a vessel owner. "The purpose of tho law was excellent enough. There was a time when emigrants were being brought to this country In very large numbers, or 'by the shipload.' as it was termed. There is no doubt that there was crowding in the ships that brought them, and to prevent this a law was passed imposing upon the ship a fine of $10 for 5very death that occurred during the passage from natural causes of persons over 8 years of age. This put a stop to overcrowdiug, or, at least, it is supposed that it did, which Is about the same thing. Ships do not fancy having to pay tines of this kind. "Of course, in comparison with the great army of persons who are brought across t h e ocean from month to month, there are very few deaths, for the statisticians .have been kind enough to show beyond a doubt that the steamship is the safest means of transpor- :ation in existence, but. just the same, there are a considerable number in the :ourse of a year."—Washington Star.

Fellow members of congress at that session were John Quincy Adams and Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Newell said: "Various objections were made to my motion, the strongest of which was that the scheme was impracticable. I laid the matter beforevo great many senators and members, speaking to them in person. Ex-President John Quincy Adams occupied a seat just behind mine and after the reading of the resolution clerk leaned forward and said to me, 'I would like to see that resolution.' I sent for It and banded it to him. He read it over carefully and, handing it to me, said, with a smile: 'It is good. I hope It will prevail.' Abraham Lincoln also read it and said: 'Newell, that is a good measure. I will help you. I am something of a life saver myself, for I invented a scow that righted itself on the Mississippi sand bars.'

The \.:iv;^!ing of the lisli when he caught them troubled him. and he sought to apologize to His conscience for the suffering he was apparently inflicting, lie said, "1 think the reason they Jump so Ls that they are so glad to get out of that wet water." Curiously euough, if we may accept the testimony of the scientists, the little boy was quite right. A lish is never so happy as when he is drawn out of the water. The air is to him quite all that laughing gas is to a human being. It gives him a hundred times more oxygon per second than his gills ever got for him from tho inhalation of water. It makes him delightfully drunken. It exhilarates him. It tills him with a completeness of physical j o y - the only joy he is capable of feeling— wholly unknown to him in his native element. He dies presently, it is true, but he dies in an ecstasy of enjoyment instead of dying in his appointed fashion by suffocation In the maw of some bigger fish. In a footnote t."> the thirteenth canto of "Don Juan" Byron denounces Ixaak Walton as a "sentimental savage" and characterizes fishing as,,4tl.ie crudest, the coldest of pretended sports." That only shows how little Byron knew about the matter. His sports Involved the sacrilice of women rather than worms. It is time to set this matter of fishing upon its moral legs, as it were, an end to be accomplished merely by telling the truth about It. A fish Is the very lowest form of the vertebrates. It is Incapable of any Joy except that of getting hooked and thus drawn out of the water to which * its nature condemns it and for a time breathing the air that Intoxicates it In delightfully deadly fashion.

The Arabs u*y that when the flrtt pair sinned they were living in a beautiful garden on n tract of land Joined to a mainland by a narrow neck or Isthmus. Wheu it be came known to the Holy One that his people had sinned, he went to the garden for the purpose of driving them out and across the narrow neck of land into the patch of thorns and 'braunbfes on the other «lde. Anticipating what would be the consequence of their heinous crime, they had prepared to leave their beautiful garden and had actually gone so far as to send the children and goats across Into the thicket. When the Holy One appeared on the scene, the first pair started to run, but the woman looked back. For this the man eursed her and for such a crime was almost immediately turned into a block of salt. Compare with Genesis xix. 26. The woman, more forgiving than her husband, stooped to pick up tho shapeless mass of salt, when immediately the narrow ueck of land began to crack and break. As she touched what had once been her companion she. too, was turned to salt just as the neck of the land sank and the waters rushed through. From that day to this, the Arabs say, all the waters of the ocean have rushed through that narrow channel at lea:>t once a year, constantly wearing away the salt of what was once our first parents* yet the bulk of the two salty objects is not diminished in the least.

Karthqnalce in Turkey. AH earthquake was felt in the palace at Constantine on Mar. 31, at the moment of the Bairan ceremony when the high officials were passing before the sultan's throne. A panic resulted, particularly among the diplomatists in the gallery many of whom immediately left the palace. The band ceased playing and the musicians rushed to the doors. Pieces of plaster fell from the ceiling and portions of the chandeliers were broken, adding to the general alarm. The sultan arose from his throne and took a few steps apparently intending to leave the chamber, but he preserved great calmness and presence of mind which had a good effect. After a moment's hesitation his majesty reseated himself upon the throne and ordered the ceremony to proceed. A reception followed, without further incident CUBA A N D PHILIPPINE N E W S .

It was rumored several days ago, but generally disbelieved, that Count Leo Tolstoi had been banished from Russia because of the attempted assassination of Privy Councillor Pobiedonostzeff, chief procurator of the Holy Synod, who was shot at early in the morning of March 2'i while sitting in his study, the attempt being attributed to a desire for revenge growing oi\t of the excommunication of Count Tolstoi. Owing- to the indefiniteness of the rumor it was disregarded at St. Petersburg. A private letter from a trustworthy source in Vilna. capital of the government'of that name, says Count Tolstoi w i s reported to have, passed through Vilna.

The defeat or a bill appropriating $50,000,000. by a single senator.' exercising his right of unlimited debate, was a striking incident of-the closing hours of the session of congress. It is not even without a certain amusing aspect. He will be a wise statesman who can find a way to establish a mean between the system which, permits, to one member, such power of obstruction, and the unlimited power of a majority to prohibit all debate under the operation of the "previous question." Several weeks ago an abscess developed in the stomach of William Thorpe, a resident of Quantico, Md. The growth ,eo weakened him that physicians feared to use the knife and the patient was slowly dying. A few days ago he saw a Philadelphia paper in which there was a certain cartoon making fun of Senator Quay of Pennsylvania. Thorpe laughed and immediately a stream of blood gushed from his mouth. The—doctor -happened tocall just then, and after examining Thorpe declared that the abscess had broken and that the patient would now get well. All of which goes to show what Philadelphia cartoons are good for. A paragraph in an American paper the other day estimated the number of British troops in South Africa._at 290,- 000. A London newspaper just at hand furnishes material to correct these figures, for, making a careful summary of all available forces, it finds that, with the re-enforcements sent out a month ago and the new Australian contingent, the total British armed strength in South Africa is 400,000. The forces under Generals Be Wet and Botha being estimated at from 2,000 to 4,000 men, it appears that the British are able to surround each fighting burgher with from 100 to 200 men, a disparity of strength probably without precedent in the history of warfare. The end of the war continues to be In sight—in London. * " Hay lozenges are the popular confectionery among army horses in the Philippines and South Africa. The food, or rather the form of it, is a Yankee invention called into existence by the circumstances of war in a coun- - t r y lacking good roads. Hay put up in the ordinary bale cannot be transpdrjted on horseback because of its w e l g h \ a n d bulk! It is therefore compressediBy powerful machinery into diameter and two inches thick. The disks are packed in rolls like the lozenges the train-boys sell, and hung in elings from the horse's back, one on each side. A single lozenge, when broken up and opened out, makes a meal for a horse or mule, and will cure htm of that hungry feeling as quickly as a mangerful of fresh hay.

MeArthur on the L'nd tl at Aguiualdo has taken 'the'oath of allegiance to the V. S. under the terms of amnesty offered by (.Jen. MacArthur by direction of the president. The dispatch conveying this information contained much more than was given to the public. The portion withheld related to the future disposition of Aguinaldo, and made suggestions as to what the late chief of the insurrection might accomplish. No official statement could be obtained as to what finally would be done with the prisoner. (Jen. Mq,cArthur has hopes that a great deal may be accomplished through Aguinaldo.

The U 8. attorney-general is about to commence suit against the state of Michigan for the amount of tolls collected by the state officials on the Sault canal for the period between the time when the canal was accepted by the general government and the time when control actually passed to the U. S. The amount claimed is about &K>,000 and suit would have begun before but for the plea of Attorney-General Oren for time to make his reply loathe demand. That reply has not been made, and the suit is likely to be commenced as soon as the papers can be prepared. P r i m e M i n i s t e r B a l f o u r , Lord Salisbury's improvement is marked. Contradictions of the report of his failing health and impending retirement are emphasized, but those closest in touch with public affairs are not misled. The prime minister's intense eagerness to be relieved from official cares is known, and his retirement from public life is much nearer than is generally believed. One forecast may be repeated with confidence, as it is obtained from high authority^. This is the speedy appointment of Mr. Balfour as prime minister, with elevation to the peerage. The sensational frauds of the com* missary department which were developed on the 30th by the arrest of Capt Frederick J. Barrows, of the Thirtieth volunteer infantry, quartermaster of the southern department of Luzon, together with seven commissary sergeants, several civilian clerks, a promiraent government contractor, and a number of storekeepers and other persons, will be probed to the bottom. Orders have been issued that no guilty man escape. The number of men implicated in the frauds is undetermined and high rauk will not suffice to shield the delinquents. CoL Woodruff, the chief commissary at Manila, said to the representative of the Associated Press that the irregularities were exaggerated and that the troops were always well supplied with stores. Colonels of the returning volunteer regiments praise the commissary service. Edward M. Brodie and James P. Coffey, troop C, 3d cavalry, were recently convicted by court-Martial at Manila of murder, and sentenced to imprisonment at hard labor for life. It appeared from the record that the accused murdered a harmless native boy aged 10, whom they met on the highway. Maj.-Gen. Wheaton, commanding the department of northern Luzon approved the sentence, which will be duly executed at Bilibid, Manila, P. 2. The following surrenders have occurred: The insurgent Gen. Arejoia, with 30 officers and 800 men, at the town of Nueva Caceres, in the province of South Camarines, southern Luzon. The remander of the command of Maj. Pablo Tecson, at the town of San Miguel de Mayumo, Bulacan province, central Luzon, and 16 officers and 70 men in Bulacan province and at other points. Senator Proctor, who has just erturned from Cuba, where he has been making observations concerning conditions in the island, says he found a disposition among many leading Cubans to accept the terras of the Piatt amendment as the most satisfactory solution of the relations between the United States and Cuba, The capture of Asrnlnaldo has caused much interest at Madrid. The press is divided on the subject. Some of the newspapers are delighted with his capture and (lescribe him asa black traitor to Spain. Others consider him a traitor to his own-race, and declare he was bought with American dollars. Lieut. Warren Dean, with JJO men of Troop C, of the Sixth cavalry, was almost surrounded at Sunga Mountains, in Cavite province. During the ensuing action 18 insurgents were killed and two Americans were wounded. The insurgents then retired. A special dispatch "says that important proposals relative to the surrender of all the insurgents in the Philippines have been made by Aguinaldo, though Hen. MacArthur, to the United States.

Sir Robt, Hart's scheme to enable China to raise suflicient money to pay off the allies1 indemnity claims, seems to be meeting with favor among the foreign ministers. This plan provides for the banking of the salt and like taxes over to the maritime customs administration and the levying of an annual house tax equal to one-half a month's rent, which it is calculated will provide 20,000,000 taels yearly, sufficient to pay 5 per cent interest on 250,000,(100 taels, and clear the whole of the principal in less than 40years. The correspondent of the Associated Press learns on the highest authority that Prince Tuan/s fate has been finally decided. His death sentence will be commuted to banishment to Turkestan. The list of guilty Chinese provincial authorities includes only four to be beheaded and several degradations. The Chinese commissioners are surprised that the guilty officials should escape with such light punishments. Although no official notification has reached the President of the departure of Prince Li Hung Chang from Pekin for Shanghai, the officials are inclined to believe that he has done so, and that Li Hung Chang is really leaving Pekin for good and because the emperor is displeased with^his conduct of the negotiations. LI favored the signing of the Manchurian treaty which China has turned down. The Chinese government has formally notified Russia that China, owing to the attitude of the powers, is not able to sign the Manchurian convention. W i l l Koslj-n. Charles II.

America'way well' Hel proud of the interest which her citizens took in tho Paris Exposition and the elaborate exhibits which were prepared with consummate skill and displayed in a manner not excelled by any other country. Those of Harvesting Machinery* in particular were most complete and interesting. The Deering Harvester Company, of Chicago, America's foremost manufacturer of this line of goods» was accorded the position of honor, having contributed more to the advancement of the art of harvesting than aisy other manufacturer, living or dead, and with a greater array of important inventions to Its credit than any other company in the world. Visitors to the Exposition wers prompt to accord the Deering exhibits supreme honors, and it only remained for official mandate to ratify the popular verdict, which was done in a manner as substantial as it was well-merited. Each one of the seven Deering exhibits secured the highest award in its class. In addition to four high decorations, the Deering Harvester Company received twenty-five awards, or twenty- nine in all, as follows: Decoration of Officer of the Legion of Horior, Decoration of Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, Two Decorations of Officer oi Merite Agricolc, a Special Certificate of Honor. The Grand Prize, Six Gold Medals, Six Silver Medals and Eleven Bronse Medals, including Deering Collaborator Medals. The Decoration of the Legion or Honor was instituted by Napoleon Bonaparte when First Consul in 1802, and is only conferred in recognition of distinguished military or civil achievements. It is the highest distinction in the gift of the French Republic. The Decoration of the Merits Agricole is an honor of but slight'.y less importance, which is conferred upon those who have contributed greatly UJ the advancement of agriculture. An Official Certificate of Honor was accorded the Deering Retrospective Exhibit, which showed the improvements in harvesting machinery during the past century, and excited the highest praise of the French Gpvernmenr Officials who had entrusted to tho Dcoring Harvester Company the preparation of this most important exhibit. By special request this exhibit ha*, been presented to the National Museum of Arts and Sciences at Paris, where it has become a permanent feature of that world-famed institution. The Deering Twine Exhibit and Com Harvester Exhibit, both of which received the highest awards, have hy request of the French Government been presented to the National Agricultural College of France. Theres was no field trial, either official or otherwise, in connection with the Paris Exposition, but the mo3t important foreign contest the past season was held under the auspices of th-^ Russian Expert Commission at tbs Governmental Farm of Tomsk, Siberia. August 14th to 18th. All the leading American and European machines participated and were subjected to th-;* most difficult tests by the Government Agriculturist. The Expert Commission awarded the Deeding Harvester Company the Grand Silver Medal of tho Minister of Agriculture and Domain, which was the highest award. The Deering Harvester Works aro the largest of their kind in the world, covering eighty-five acres and employing 9,000 people. They are equipped with modern automatic machines, many of which perform the labor of from five to fifteen hands. This Company is also the largest manufacturer of Binder Twine in the world, having been first to produce single-strand binder twine, such as is in general use today, making over a third of the product of the entire world. The output of its factory for a single day would tie a band around the earth at the equator, with several,, thousand miles to spare. The annual production would fill a freight train twenty miles long. Made into a mat two feet wide, it would reach across the American-continent from ocean to ocean. Deering machines are known a^ LIGHT DRAFT IDEALS, consisting of Binders, Mowers, Reapers, Corn Harvesters, Shreddeis and Rakes. This company exhibited at the Paris Exposition an Automobile Mower, which attracted much attention, and exhibitions were -given with one of these machines in the vicinity of Paris throughout the season.

"Rate; Mr. Magnum* Do you pretend to bo wiser than the whole country side?" "By no means, my love/' "Well, every one say a the place la full of ghosts!" "Yes, my dear." "What every one say3 must be trv.al" Mr. Magnum did not dare to say no. "And so the place is haunted," replied his better'half, triumphantly. "Ugh! I would not live in that old house for the whole world," said Kitty, shrugging her shouders. "Does Mr. Cowley like it?" asked Mrs. Magnum. "No—I think not." "Then why does sne stay?" Mr. Magnum coughed and looked •embarrr.ssed. "My dear, Mr. Cowley, is a very peculiar man—very. I am afraid he generally does what he likes, without con- •sulting his wife." "And she lets him?" exclaimed Mrs. Magnum, shutting her lips, viciously. "I am afraid she does." "Well, if women will toe fools, they must! But I only wish I was Mrs. Cowley! Do you feel tired, Miss Marjorie? You don't look Quite well." " I am rather tired," replied the governess, very quietly. "Then pray don't sit up longer than you like." Miss Marjorie took the hint, put away her work) said good-night, and left the room. Two pairs of eyes followed her with anything but lovins loohs. "Nasty, proud thin?! I hate her!" said Kitty, in a low tone. "And eo do I!" replied her mother, with emphasis. "But she will be going next month, so v;e need not trouble ourselves about her." CHAPTER VIII. Miss Marjorie did not, however, £0 :o her own room. She took a cloak from its peg in the hall, threw it over her head, opened the front door aoftly, and went out. Mrs. Magnum would have been shocked out of all her propriety if she had seen her pacing up and down the garden walks alone, but just at that moment Miss Marjorie cared little for Mr3. Magnum, or anything she could say. The night wa3 dark and starless, the air chill and raw. But after that heated room it was a positive luxury to feel the fresh, damp wind coming from the hills . After those sharp, unnerving voices it was soothing to listen to the leafless trees breathing and whispering of the coming of the rain. Storm and cold and darkness—they were all preferable to that snug parlor and its disagreeable inmates; and so Miss Marjorie paced up and down, up and down, and thought. Thought of another time which had been far happier than this! A time when she was also a companion, but not MKa Magnum's companion! A time when there was one voice that always soften_d when it spoke her name; when there were eyes that brightened at her coming—lips that welcomed her as only privileged lips might do! Shaikh ought of long, pleasant evenings. llBht with books and work and music, around a cottage Are. Of quiet walks and talks by summer moonlight. Ala3! where had those blissful moments fled? Why had the dearest, the sweetest of ties failed her? Why, from that wealth of love and tenderness had she been cast out into the cold world alone? She had been foully slandered; she had been cruelly distrusted; she had been heartlessly deserted! Ov«r and aver again she said this to herself. Yet on that night, as she walked up and down the gravel path, the sense of in* jury and of wrong seemed to die away and in their place came a wild yearning for the olden time—but for one moment of the happiness of yore! "Oh, that it were possible In this dull life of pain, T o find the arm of my true love Around me once again!" she murmured, as she clasped her hands above her aching heart. Where yrtM he? What was he doing now? Beautiful and bright, he had risen like a star above her lonely path; had won ner heart, and /worn it for a time; had 4>ound her to him by the most sabred ties; then left her for years, perhaps forever! Where was he—where was he? And she stretched out her a r m s to the sullen night sky in her vain and passionate appeal to him who would come no more. The sky grew darker. A drop of rain touched her cheek. 6he turned to go in, yet, with a strange, uneasy feeling, she lingered * aoca**t beeUe the gate looking out upon the dark road that led into the village. Then her eyes wandered away beyond Banley, and out towards the hill where the haunted house stood. How strange the unseen and unacknowledged link that bound her to the people there! What would they say when she went to them and told her tale? Would they think her mad or would they take compassion upon her for the sorrow she had undeigone, and admit her to their family circle as a welcome and honored gue3t? Was it likely? Had they ever heard her name? Yet how well she knew theirs; and how much she could tell of their daily life and habits, from the stern banker down to his favorite daughter, Rose! "Cousin Rose! Cousin Rose!" She said it aloud twice, and then started and flushed guiltily, lest any one should have heard her. Some one had heard! Not Mr. Magnum— not even Kitty, but a tall, handsome young man, who had been walking along the public, road, with his hands in his pockets and his head bent down. He had passed the garden gate without even looking that way, but -the low voice made him Etart and turn round. In an instant he had leaped the iron fence, and stood by Miss Marporie's side. "Have I found you at last?" he exclaimed. "I have looked for you all over England, and in vain. Now, Marjorie—" But Miss Marjorie looked in his face, gave a low cry, and fainted. He caught her in his arms and kissed her passionately. "Marjorie, my love, my darling, look up and speak to me!" (Slowly she revived. Slowly she came to the knowledge that life was no longer a blank—that he had returned, and that he loved her still. "Oh," she sighed, "is thi3 a dream.?" "No dream, but truth, my darling." "Are you sure? I have dreamed so many times." "But you are awake now. Awake, to hoar me say that I wrongod you— that I was a jealous, suspicious fool to listen to a, word against you; awake to see me kneel at your feet and ask your pardon! Look, Marjorie! I won't rise till you say you have entirely forgiven me!" "My love—ray love!" answered Mi3S Marjorie. bending over him with a radiant smile. And then the long misery of the past was wiped away and forgotten. "But wV»ere have you been?" she asked, when the first surprise was over. "Where have you been, and how did you know I was here?" "I have been in Australia, my love. I would not come back till I could lay a fortune at your feet, as some amends for all I have made you suffer; and I can do it now. Thanks to a spade and pickaxe, I am a rich man, and you j shall have a new silk dress every day, and cat off gold and silver plate, if [ you like. Marjorie!" I "As if I cared L'or that!" she said. kissing him. "No, I know you ars not mercenary; but still, money is one of the best things ycu can Vave, my child. Money and love—love and money; any one ! who can get those two thing3 may ! think himself remarkably well off in j this vale of tears. Miss Marjorie! And I you have both; and if you don't fez\ ! obliged to me for getting them, yo i are a very ungrateful young woman, I must say." "Oh, I do, I do, but how in the world did you know I was here?" "I did not. This is the strangest part of the story. I came home to England lonely and 3ad enough. For three years in Australia I have been trying to find you -out. through agents and advertisements, in vain. Where have you been?" "I taught In a school at Brixton for two years after I lost you:^ and then one of the pupils, daughter of this Mr. Majmum—" "The gentleman who owns this house?" "Yes:^ his daughter was educated at that school, and she thought I would make a suitable companion for her mother, who is ill. or who fancies herself so, at least. I have been here a year. I shall leave the place in a month's time." *~"In a week—In a day!" was the impetuous reply. "Do you suppose I am going to have you slaving here now I am home again? You will pick up your traps to-night and be ready to go with me when I call for you to-morrow, which will -be as soon after breakfast as I can get over from Banley. Do you hear?" "Yes. but I must f i v e some notice." "Not a Wt of It. Are they kind to 7«u?- "Not very." "Do you like them?" "Not at »11." "You don't mean to say that they have ill-used you?" "Oh, no." "But, in fact, you hate them?" "Exactly." "Poor darling! And you have had a year of this drudgery?" "Never mind; it is all over now." ~ T h « it is." — "But finish your story. Tell me how you happened to find me here." "Do you know that my uncle Cowley is here?" "Yes." "Shut up with all Tils family"tn~a house full of ghosts?" "I have hoard of it." "I went straight to his house in Mecklenburg square, only to Jlnd It empty. The housekeeper gave me the present address, and, on reaching Banley, I found his name in everybody's mouth. If he had seen half the sights and heard half the sounds villagers relate he must be a lunatic by this time. In the place of waiting till to-morrow to pay my visit, I thought I would go to-night, and see if there was any truth in these marvelous tales. And while I was walking along, thinking of ghosts and hobgoblins, I heard a little voice plainly say in the darkness, 'Cousin Rose!-rCousin Rose!' It was the voice I had been hungering and thirsting to hear for three long and weary years. Now you know the whole. Were you thinking about Rcr.e?" "Yee." "You will like her dearly. She is a good little thing, and will make a sister of you the moment I tell her your story. Will you go there with me tomorrow?" "Will they welcome me?" "Of course they will, you goose! Oh, Marjorie! My ov;n Marjorie! they will love you for my sake, even as I love you for ycur own, you wicked, fascinating, cruel little monster!" "He! he! he! That'3 prime!" exclaimed a boyish voice in the shrubbery; and Marjorie startsd from her lover'3 arms. "Julius, is that you?" she cried. "I should rather think it was!" the Th* r u n t with W»««U In the battle with weeds the first point Is not to le} weed seeds be. carried onto bare land. For this reason there are fields where bare fallows are never advisable, as, for illustration, a field adjoining a road overrun with weeds. The practice of leaving land thus bare is very often the cause of the same land being subsequently overrun with weeds, which can only | be extirpated by years of expensive operations. The land owner frequen ly imagines that he has no interest in thistles, wild lettuce, and other weedi that line the roadside adjoining his premises. But he has a very decided financial interest in them, for they are the great store house from which his farm is seeded. While he is asleep, the winds are whipping the head3 of the ripening weeds and carrying the seeds % over his land to find a lodgment wherever there is an unused spot of ground. It will pay to make war on such weeds for the purpose of cutting off the supply of new seeds. If the weeds along the roadside be mowed a number of times during the growing season they will cease to reproduce themselves and in their stead grass will appear. This will be taking possession of the enemy's entrenchments. We must prevent weed seeds from getting into the manure, as this is one of the ways in which they are kept on the farm. The screenings of the grain, if full of weed seeds should be disposed of in some way that will keep t h e n out of the manure pile, and when the chaff is likewise full of weed seeds It will be found cheaper to burn i: than to use It for bedding, by which means it finds its way into the manure. Under an ideal system of manure handling this chaff would go into a compost where the seeds would be destroyed, but we have no such cartainty of their destruction at the present time. Therefore we must do the next best thing and prevent the seeds from getting into the manure at all. Biennial and perennial weeds are, of course, more difficult to destroy than are the annuals, and frequently have to be given special attention. Plowing is the strongest measure that can be used against them, but many Sr*s ft IifWOB 1B rittlpiw Two hundred young women braTed yesterday's rain to attend the Sinday afternoon "open door" session of the Chicago Woman's Club in the Fine Arts building, says the Chicago Tribune. Miss Clara Dixon presided and introduced the speakers. Carl Lambert gave several selections on the violin, accompanied by Mrs. Favorite. Hiss Bingham sang. Martha Foote Crow of Northwestern University delivered the clpal address, speaking on "The Studies of Modern Fiction." "The inspiration for a higher life in this world come from literature/' she said. "I think I understand the terrible loneliness of the working girl in a great city. She may have friends, but then there is a feeling of being alone when she looks about her. I think I see a gradual movement among men and women to extend a helping hand to all these brothers and sisters who may need it. There is none of us but who needs some kind of help. The literature of today I believe more truly reflects the conditions, hopes and ambitions of the people than the literature of any other age."

I shan't have to learn any more Latin lessons! You'll have to pack, Miss Marjorie, as sure as eggs is eggs! Heigho, jeminy, and a rigdum!" His exulting dance was speedily brought to an ejid. Mr. Cowley, who had ken-t silent so far from sheer astonishment, now grasped him firmly by the collar. "Ycu young scoundrel!" he exclaimed, "how dare you speak in that manner to Miss Marjorie?" "She's my governess: I'll say what I like to her!" was the impertinent reply. "And she is my wife! And if you dare to say a word about her—to look at her insolently—to insult her in the smallest way—I'll give you such a flogging that you will never want to utter a lady's name as long as you live! Do ycu hear, sir?" and he shook him in the air as a terrier shakes a rr.t. "Oh, my! let me go! I'll call my father!" said the frightened boy. "Hold your tongue, you whelp!

"I don't know what that word means!" "But I have not even got on my bonnet." "Never mind, your cloak will protect you, and we have net far to go. Into that house you shall never step again, after the specimen of your treatment I have just seen." He drew her out uoon the footpath, and turned to the boy. who stood with open mouth at the gate. "Lock it. and go in," he said. "But what am I to say to mother?" '*Tell her that Miss Marjorie has gone away with her husabnd," was the laughing reply. "Come, my love, draw your cloak well round you. 1 never ran away with a lady before; but, upon my word, this eloping with one's wife is a very pleasant business!" And so, while Julius ran in with his wonderful news, and sent Mrs. Magnum into a fit of screaming hysterics, the strangely re-united pair walked on arm in arm right through the darkness towards the haunted house.'

Expensive PoUon for Potato Bog». The Maine Experiment Station, in bulletin GS, takes up the question of poisons for potato beetles. It report; so adversely on "Bug Death," a patent insecticide, that anyone reading the bulletin will certainly not buy the powder named. In part it says: Whatever value the material has is dependent upon the strong dislike which the bugs show for it, rather than to any insecticidal qualities which it may have. The price as advertised ranges from 15 cents for a single pound to 8 cents in the largest jsckage which the company puts out. At the rate applied in these experiments it would co3e $8.00 per acre for the material for each application. Two applications a fortnight apart would be needed to keep tl.e potatoes free from bugs. When applied to vines not covering the ground an application at the rate of 40 pounds per acre was without effect, co it would seem that the second application must be as great as the first. To partly protect would cost for the Bug Death $S.O0 per acre, while to thoroughly protect against bugs would cost ?1G.00 for materials. The "Perfection Shaker" is a covered tin dish with small holes in the bottom. Applied with this shaker a man Mr*. Samnel CI. Dyer Telia » Harfoirlng Tale o* Suffering. M'Carron, Mich., April 8.—(Special.) —Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer of this plac3 has given the following interesting letter for publication: "For yearB I suffered intense pain in the region of the heart. I doctored with the best physicians. Some of them would relieve me for a short time, but the pain always returned. My heart was so bad that I would have to sit up in bed for hours, to get relief. I would lie awake almost all night. I am 62 years of age, and no one can understand how much I suffered with this Heart Trouble. "About a year ago I heard of Dodd'Ss Kidney Pills, and commenced to use them. From the first my condition improved. - The pain in my heart gradually grew less, and my general health much better, and now I can say positively that I am entirely cured. I can sleep all night, and enjoy almost perfect health. I thank God for the cure that has "ome to me through the u s * of Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I have thought long over the matter •of giving this letter for publication, and am doing so now without any solicitation whatever, end simply because I feel it to be my duty to express the profound gratitude I feel for my recovery, and to let others who may be suffering as I wa3 know how they may find a cure. I know that nothing else but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me, because 4 have taken no other medicine for over a year. I feel better now than I have for many years, and it is all due to the use of Dodd'3 Kidney Pills." Mrs. Dyer's case and its cure has attracted a great deal of attention, and her letter 13 a splendid tribute to the curative properties of Dodd's Kidney Pills.

It would take ten days for .these voters to protect the potato plants from bugs applying Bug Death with the Perfection shaker. A farmer growing 20 to 50 acres would find it impossible to get the help necessary to apply Bug Death at the right time. One pound of Paris green, or other arsenites applied at two different times will do all the work of 200 pounds of Bug Death. The Paris green can be applied with power sprayer at the rate of 20 to SO acres a day, and a thorough application of Bordeaux mixture can be applied at the same time with only the added cost of materials (about 40 to 45 cents an aero). Reckoning a man's time at 15 cents an hour it would cost at least for materials and labor $1S an acre to apply Bug Death twice. For $2.50 an acre can be treated four times with Bordeaux mixture and a reliable poison. Of the agricultural imports of the United States during 18*5-1899, amounting in average annual value to $366,964,708, more than one-half came from tropical countries.
