Harry Wauchope came briskly out ot the Faculty Hoom, wearing on Ms face the boyish, defiant smile that was meant to express supreme unconcern. He stopped for a moment at the drinking fountain in the great hall and the smile died from his face as he filled the, cup, emptied it absently, half fllled^t again,, and then turned impatiently away. v -Regtl&ssiy he wandered over to the .rb&u&o. board and read the students' "Lost' notices, wondering wearily why ^people posted the loss of such trivial 'things as text books and society pins. •Hft read that "if the person who stole • a tennis racket marked J. M. K. from *the, gym. last Thursday evening will return same to. 43 Elm street all will toe forgiven and no reward will be required," and it did not seem to him a hit funny. Beneath that was the announcement of the football game at Travis Field which was to decide tne class championship. He remembered u$r he had looked forward to playing id It, and talked over the chances ot winning, and hoped and feared, until U> had become a great thing with him and with all the team that they should win the game and the championship fbr the class; now it struck him sharply that the game was being played at that moment, and he was not "in it" and never would be again. He could even iiear the dull yelling of the crowd on the side linos. Occasionally there came to turn the short, sharp, triumphant "X, C, V—I—I," which told him 4hat his class was winning. Wauchope thought of all he would miss, how. the strong bonds of fellowship he had formed on the ball ground and, in the societies and at class meetings would be snapped when he went .away, and not a soul among them would care anything about him after *tfce first feeling of regret that their reckless, lawless classmate had been •expelled. He could imagine them saying' to each other, "What? Jack fired! Poor devil! Well, it had to come soon* en or later." He had made few close friends, but ifce*knew. a good many who would be ,gtad to see him humbled; and he re- He stopped at the drinking fountain. solved that, they should never know how bard he was hit. He world carry himself with the same jaunt) devilmay- care insouciance h*» had always worn, so that uo man could say he 'Winced. Involuntarily ho straightened himself, thrust his hands deep into his •coat pockets, and lounged over to the •targe western windows overlooking tho • Gym. courte. His restless fingers, unconsciously -working, clutched a piece of cardboard - and'drew it out of his pocket. It was -a.programme of the last class hop, - and. the sight of it gave a wrench to ?hJ8i thoughts'that hurt with a sharper pain. He remembered just how Alice 'had looked, itow beautifully sweet and •serene she had appeared in that fetching light gray dress ot hers, how she had seemed so much less reserved and more friendly than visual. It had awept across his mind at the time that . poislbly the thing he. wanted most in all the world might some day be with- *p. hi* reaofl, and he had resolved thai he wouid make such a man of himself as would be worthy of her. v put that was nothing new. x Sver Since he had come to thinking ojt her in this wa; h* had found hiniaelf bent on high achievement. He knew his work in the classroom had steadily improved. He had Ruorised more than ^ ° r-rnfftRgnr hy hla Riiddan keen an- * im 1 M 1 >n\ IU1 •• \ plication. Yet he had been surprised to find how h«ra it was to drop his old, unthinking, recklessness, even when he had set his face steadily in tne other direction. He had never ken himself seriously before. Natrally other people had accepted him a joke and. a lawbreaker, and now refused to consider him seriously. They had thought it was some new "grind" he was getting on them. And when they saw he was in earnest they raueQ him about his reform, asking him how long it was since New Year's, until he was forced almost in self-de* fense into occasional lapses. Why the deuce was it that he could "Reprieved! Reprieved!' ' never keep his fingers out ot a bit of tempting mischief? If Gray and Tomlinson wanted to kidnap the president ot the Junior cla«s what business was it of his? he might have known that it was just his luck to come to grief over the affair. He had known from the first that his case was hopeless. His misdeeds had been up for consideration too many times .before for him to expect any mercy now. The moment he had entered the Faculty Room he had seen that he stood no chance. It they had been severe he would have felt it a hopeful sign, but this cold, businesslike air showed only too plainly that his hearing was a mere formality. They had galled him inexpressibly by their coldness, and he had been in return politely insolent and unconcerned. Yet he would have given anything for another chance, though his pride would not let him ask for it. They had asked him a question or two, and he had answered them. Then they had permitted him to retire while they made their decision. Wauchope felt that he could foretell just what that decision would be. With the usual lack of perspective which pertains in youth Harry saw a long vista ot hopeless years stretch before him, all full ot failuro and misery. That was in the distance, but the immediate future looked black enough to him. How could he face his father after having dragged their common name in the dust—that name of which they were both so proud? And his mother—ah, he dare not think of her. He might break down if he did. A wisp of paper floated down to him from the gallery above. Wauchope looked up in time to note the swish of a .disappearing skirt. A note was penciled on the scrap of paper. "I shall be in the Annual office. Come to me as soon as you know the decision. " ALICE." Harry flushed when he read it, and then he groaned. He knew that it meant she was going to stand by him, and he fought with a sudden lump in his throat. "Oh, you splendid girl, do you think I shall let you sacrifice yourself for a disgraced man? I may be a wortniess scamp, but I'm not such a hound as that," he cried to himself, and,set his teeth bitterly at thought of the futility of a too-late repentance. The door of the Faculty Room opened and a professor stepped out "Mr. Wauchope, can we see you a moment?" he asked. "Certainly, sir," answered the lad. and followed him proudly into the judgment chamber. Five minutes later the door opened again to let out a young man with the eager light ot happiness shining from his eyes. He made straight for the great stairway which led to the gallery and the Annual office, and as he went up the steps three at a time his heart kept singing: "Another chance, Alice, girl. Reprieved! Reprieved!" The Parts Police Force. The cost nf thq police force of Paris groWa steadily year by year. In 1872 it was $4,031,725, of which $2,237,300 was paid by the city and the rest by the government; in 1885, $4,961,300; in 1899, $6,448,170. In 1872 the totar strength of the police force was 7,7*^ for a population of 1,851,792. "in 1899 It was 9,000 for a population of 2,563,- 000.

GROSVENOR. OF THE FAMOUS OHIO FAMILY. Hon. Dan. A. Grosvenor, Deputy Auditor for the War Department, in a letter written from Washington, D. C, says: "Allow me to express my gratitude to you tor the benefit derived from one bottle of Peruna. One week baa brought wonderful changes and lam now as well as ever.

A remedy that will cure catarrh of tne stomach wHl cure the same condition of the mucous membrane anywhere, 1 have found It the best remedy I nave ever tried for catarrh, and believing it worthy my endorsement 1 gladly accord It' * Mrs, Elmer Fleming, orator of Reservoir Council, No. 168, Northwestern Legion of Honor, of Minneapolis, Minn., writes from 2535 Polk fit, N. E.: "I have been troubled all my life with catarrh i n m y head. X took P e r u n a f o r a b o u t three months, a n d n o w think I am permanently cured. I believe that for catarrh in all its forms, Peruna is the medicine of the age. It cures when all other remedies fail. I. can heartily recommend Peruna as a catarrh samedy." The spring is the time to treat catarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often retards a cure of catarrh. If a course of Peruna is taken during the early spring months the cure will be prompt and permanent. There can be no failures If Peruna is taken - intelligently during the favorable weather of spring. As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna eradicates catarrh from the system wherever it may be located. It cures catarrh of the stomach or bowels with the same certainty as catarrh of the head. 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 his valuable advice gratis.

Mrs. Theodore Thomas, of Chicago, president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, has undertaken to frame an ordinance forbidding any person to compel a team, of two horses to pull a load of more than 8,000 pounds, not counting the wagon. Alderman Byruo has promised to introduce the ordinance. An anti-cigarette law passed by the New Hampshire legislature forbids the manufacture or sale of any form of cigarettes.

Associated wfth the glycogen, but withheld from actual contact with It during life, is its appropriate digestive ferment, the hepatic diastase. The mere crushing of the dainty between the teeth brings these two bodies together, and the glycogen is at once digested without other help by its own diastase. "The oyster in the uncooked state or merely warmed is, in fact, self digestive. But the advantage of this provision is wholly lost by cooking, for the heat immediately destroys the associated ferment, and a cooked oyster has to be digested, like any other food, by the eater's own digestive powers." A W i l y A n s w e r . The shah of Persia once asked a group of his courtiers whom they thought the greater man, himself or his father. At first he could get no reply to so dangerous a question, the answer to which might cost the courtiers their heads. At last a wily old courtier said, "Your father, sire, for although you are equal to your father in all other respects in this he is superior to you, that he had a greater son than any you have." English Roads. After the abandonment of Britain by the Romans the roads fell into disuse and bridle paths formed the only means of communication. Not until the sixteenth j'ear of Charles II—that fs. 1G70—was any systematic effort made to improve the roads of England. VILLAGE OFFICERS. PBE8IDBNT . ..~~ Ales. MclQtjTS TacBTEES E. L.

ANDREWS, Publisher. PINCKNEY, MICHIGAN. — The Cape to Cairo railway is at present being extended from Buluwayo to Wanii, a nlaee about 200 miles further north, where a great coal discovery has just been mads. It has also been found that the Zambe3i can be much more easily crossed at this point than at the point originally selected. When a popular young author came to see William AL Evarts. while he was secretary of state, in behalf of a consulship for which he was an applicant Mr. Evarts congratulated him on the 'ame which he had acquired, but hastened to add: "Although you have laurels on your brows, I suppose you can't browse on your laurels." F 1 1 That's What Some of the State Correspondents Report. G, A. B. STATE ENCAMPMENT Will be Held at Flint In June-The Shorta «e or the Nllee First National Bank li Placed at •l«0.0O0 — Depositor* Will Reoeive at Least SO Per Cent of Deposit* Baron Wilhelm von Rothschild, who recently died at Frankfort, was one of the few rich men who make it a rule of their lives to give away one-tenth of their income in charity. He was not only a religious observer in all respects of the ancient Mosaic law, but he vaa a profound Talmudic scholar, having devoted a great part of his time to careful and systematic studies of ihe Talmud. A queer instance of improper influence said to have been exerted upon a juryman comes from New Haven. The jury in a certain civil case went to Falrhaven to visit the house of the defendants. There, according to the counsel for the plaintiff.one of the parties to the suit gave one of the jurors a piece of pie. This piece of pie is the ground upon which a motion to set aside the verdict is founded. There was a substantial increase iri the traffic through the Suez canal in 1899. Three thousand Ave hundred and three vessels passed through the canal in 1898; in 1899 the number was increased to 3,607, representing an increase of 104 vessels and a gain of 657,017 tons. The average time consumed fn passing through the canal in 1899 was eighteen hours and thirtyeight minutes, about half an hour longer than was necessary during the previous year. Hammond Mast Stand TrlaL A jury was secured on the 8th for the trial of D. Judson Hammond, of Pontiac, who is charged with having solicited a bribe while a member of the state legislature of 1899. Hammond was indicted by the grand jury, two bills being found against him. At the opening of court on the above date Prosecuting Attorney Tuttle announced that he would ask the court to nolle pros the case against Hammond, which had been brought under the statute and would try the respondent on the common law counts. District Attorney W. D. Gordon, who is associated with EL M. Zimmerman in the trial of the case as defendant's attorneys, argued a motion to quash the indictment which had been pending for nearly a year, but Judge Wiest could not see it that way and refused to grunt the request. It took the jury just 20 minutes to convict ex-Rep. D. Judson Hammond, of Pontiac, of soliciting Jas. A. Coye, of Grand Rapids, to commit a felony by offering him a bribe. Judge Wiest concluded his charge at exactly 5 o'clock on the 10th and the jury at once re>ired. In 20 minutes they returned a verdict of guilty. Only one ballot was taken. A Queer Religious Seet, Supervisor YY. S, VN ptring, of Ogden, Lenawee county, t o o t h e r with, some residents of South Fairfield, wore in conference with Prosecuting Attorney Sampson and Judge, of Probate Larwill, at Adrian on the 0th, in regard to a queer sect that have held out at South Fairfield for a year or two. The sect is made up of four or five families, the members of which formerly belonged to the United Brethren church of that place. The leader of the new religion is Gus Wagner. It is alleged that Wagner has become deranged over religion. It is said the new sect believe that its members are vested with a new life. As an example, Charles Hagadorn, one of the new sect, was asked by his brother why he did not call to see his mother, who is quite ill. "Why, I have no mother. My name is not Charles Hagadorn; he is dead. I am a new man," was the reply he made. Kansas City, Mo., is claiming to be a great fruit distributing point, and in proof of the same "points with pride" to these two consignments: In one day 1,000,000 bananas were received from the tropics and on March 4 2,000,000 oranges came in, the shipment being made from Los Angeles, Cal. This orange train was composed of twenty-eight cars and a caboose. There were 364 boxes of oranges to the car, making 10,192 boxes in all. Off Cerigo, the island at tha southern end of Greece, dlver3 are bringing up art treasures that were sunk 200 years before Christ. Lucian tells of a ship laden with art spoils that went down on" the'voyage from Athens to Rome, and it is believed that the wreck has been found now. Besides many bronze statuettes a life-size bronze statue resembling the Herme3 of Praxiteles, has been brought up. Some objects are excellently preserved, but others are corroded. Monthly Crop Bulletin. In the Michigan crop report for April, issued on the Oth, Secretary o\ State Warner says that during March the low-lands in some sections of the state were covered with water ani some damage was done to wheat. Information in regard to wheat varies, some correspondents thinking that i prospects for a crop are fair, while [others are of the opinion that it will j again be damaged by the Hessian fly. j Correspondents generally agree that the crop wintered well, but in many parts of the state the plants are full of flies ready to begin their ravages as soon as conditions are favorable. Some are expecting parasites to decrease the work of the fly, but it is difficult to estimate this factor so early in the season. Warm, dry weather will favor the fly, while cold, damp weather will be unfavorable to the hatching of a spring brood of the insects. The average condition of wheat in the state is 80, or 16 better than it was last year at this time. The average condition of meadows is 93 for the state; horses and swine, 96; sheep, 75; cattle, 94. There are some reports, of large loses of spring pigs, and also that sheep and lambs are dying in some parts of the fctate. Wreck on the F. & V. M. President Herald, Manager Crapo, Passenger Agent Moeller, Supt Agnew and other oflieials of the Pere Marquette railroad were going to Grand Rapids by special train from Ottawa Belch on the 9th when their train struck a caboose which projected from a siding. The caboose was smashed, the special train's engine badly dumaged, and the president's car was bruised, but none of the oflieials were more than shaken up. The engineer and fireman applied the air brakes and then jumped to save themselves. One of them escaped with a sprained wrist. The accident occurred within the city limits of Grand Rapids and the oflieials walked two miles to a hotel. Disease In Michigan. Reports to the state board of health by representative physicians in active general nrac ice in different parts of the state indicate that rheumatism, neuralgia, influenza, bronchitis and tonsilitis in the order named, caused most sickness in Michigan during the past week. Cerebro-spinal meningitis was reported present at 2 places; whooping cough at 13, diphtheria at 21, measles at 29, typhoid fever at 40, scarlet fever at St, smallpox at 10J aud consumption at 193. Three children, a boy and two gir:s, brother and sisters, have had a terrible avalanche experience at Ornon. The children, neither of whom was more than 10, were overwhelmed, and the brother was carried over a precipice 200 feet high and buried under tons of snow, ice and rocks, his body not yet having been recovered. One of the girls was thrown into a Bhallow crevassa, whence she managed to extricate herself. The other girl caught at a tree as she was falling and managed t o hold on to it. to the branches, with a drop of 300 feet below, until her sister succeeded in obtaining assistance. When she was ultimately rescued by a man who was lowered over the precipice by a rope, she was in on exhausted condition, and collapsed on being brought to solid ground. The insurance companies have come to a new decision with regard to the granting of policies to the crowned heads of Europe since the death of King Humbert They are willing to insure them against all risks, save that of assassination, at a slightly higher rate than that exacted from ordinary individuals. This higher rate is presumably demanded in view of the fact that royal blood is supposed to be vitiated and impoverished. Kinng Milan, about four months ago, endeavored to insure his life. But although he was a mere ex-king, the companies to which he applied would only consent to give him a policy with the special assassination clause, which he declined, and his son, the present king, when he attempted a short time ago to insure his life In favor of Queen Draga, failed t o come to any understanding with the company, owing to the same stlpnisr tloxr. G. A, R* State E n c a m p m e n t . Department Commander Allen, Michigan G. A. R., has issued orders relative tc the state encampment to meet at Flint in June. The Michigan Passenger association has authorized a rate of one fare for the round trip from all points in lower Michigan, tickets to be sold June 11 and 12, limited to return on or before June 14. All communications concerning the encampment should be addressed to Andrew J. Ward, Flint. Announcement is made that the executive committee awarded the silk banner offered to the post making the greatest increase in membership during the year' to Charles Martin post, Martinsville, Wayne county; the second prize being awarded to Chas. T. Foster post, Lansing. Three D r a t h * F r u m Smullpox. The total number of deaths reported to the secretary of state for the month of March was 3.4S8, corresponding to a death rate of 17.2 per 1,000 population. This is an increase of 34:5 ov.>r the number returned for March, 190(). There were G73 deaths of infants under 1 year of age, 203 of children ajred 1 to 4 years, and 1,024 deaths of persons aged 05 years and over. There were three deaths from smallpox during the month. Nile* Bank Short 8160,000. An official who stands high in Washington and whom the people there For half an hour°she c l u n g 4 - t r u s t a o & o l u t « l y , ™akes a statement concerning the shortage of the First National bank, of Niles, which is accepted as final. He says be has learned from the comptroller that the shortage is 3160,000. In this latter event depositors will receive very nearly all their deposits. The capital stock will make good 8100,000 of the shortage, while the surplus will take care of 825,000 more. This would leave but 850,000 shortage, which would easily be realized from the assessment on stock. The cost of winding up the bank's affairs will be considerable. However, it is predicted depositors will receive at iease 90 per cent of their holdings. \ He ispresident of the Epworth League, and at the same time serves as bar ten- MINOR M I C H I G A N M A T T E R S . Hillsdale has 27 women's clubs, Centreville will be dry after May ,1. A summer school will be held at Duvand. Indications of coal have been found near Northville, and prospecting will soon be commenced. Additional rural free delivery service has been ordered established at Ann Arbor, to take effect May 15. The ice jam in the St. Clair riv^r at Algonac broke loose on the 13th, ?nd moved slowly down the river. The township board has granted a franchise through the village and township of Dimondale to the promotors of the ISattle Creek and Lansing electric railroad. Owing to the increases in valuations at Grand Rapids, announced by the assessors, the board is now confronted by more than 700 able-bodied kicks from enraged taxpayers. Farmers in Uranch county are worried over the continued drouth and cold nights. The wheat crop in the county has been almost a total failure during the past two seasons. On the night of the 8th fire destroyed the handle factory of Mitchell Bros, at Cadillac. The loss is estimated at 800,- 000, with 840,000 insurance. It is pr obable that the factory will be rebuilt. The victory won by the Gretna Green people, S t Joseph, against the ministers of the state, is highly satisfactory to the people of that city. It insures the re-election of Rep. John Lane, whe led the fight. Lansing people are greatly concerned in the smallpox outbreak in Delta township which adjoins Ingham county on the west. There arc a number of cases in the township and the entire population is in danger. Byron has a curious anomaly in the shape of John Fritz, aged 19, who is the son of the Byron saloon keeper. Hustling Out Do* Law Notices. Secretary of State Warner's Office force was busily engaged on the 8th in sending out copies of the new dog law to county clerks. The law was signed by Gov. Bliss on that day, and within three hours steps had been taken to notify all county clerks, of its provisions. The law takes immediate effect and supersedes the dog license law of two years ago. Hereafter the supervisors and other assessing officers will levy a tax of 83 on. every female dog and $1 on every male dog in their jurisdiction. ~~ Reports from Sanlt Ste. Marie on the Oth say that the Sco is free of ice. der in his father'* place of business. A baby boy about 2 days' old was found on the 12th in the creek in the city limits of Bessemer, tied in a cof-, fee sack with its throat cut, and a stone tied Jo the bag to sink it. School boys found it. The body had not been there more than one day. S t Joseph is sadly in need of dwelling houses, and the board of trade and wealthy citizens at a mass meeting on the 12th hit upon the plan of organizing a house association, with a capital stock of 970,000, for the purpose of constructing new houses and selling them to laboring men on the installment nlan and for renting.

Chandler's ad valorem railroad tax bill, amended so that the state tax commission alone shall constitute the assessing board, was reported out for printing on the Oth by the committee on railroads. The bill is amended so that it will not go intoefTjet until Jan. 1, 1932, when the repeal of the special railroad charters—the Michigan Central, the Lake Shoro. etc. — will have become effective.

'' Considerable doubt is expressed as to whether the Chandler railroad taxation bill is constitutional in its pre&ent shape, as it provide* a board composed of the lieutenant-governor, state treasurer and attorney-general, to make the assessment on the railroads and other corporations namad in the bill and then adds tho members of the state tax commission to make up a board of review. The constitutional amendment states that the average rate struek by the assessing board shall not be subject to review, and the question is whether another board can be called in to review the work of the regular assessing board, which has the duty of fixing tho average rate. The house on the afternoon of the 10th passed Rep. Nevin's garnishee bill by a vote of 79 yeas to 15 nays. The bill allows an exemption of 80 per cent of the amount of money due an employe, with a proviso that in no case shall the amount exempted be' less than 88 nor more than 830. The present law provides that an exemption shall not be less than 825 in all cases.

C H I N A WAR N E W S . The Mongolian prince, Olaskan, -ather-in law of Prince Tuan, proves to be an important factor in the rebellion now in progress. He urges the rebellious troops to march on Sian lTu. Chinese knowing Gen. Tung Pu Sian say the emperor brought the rebellion on his own head when he published tho edict threatening the general with future punishment. On account of his present power and influence Gen. Tung Fu Sian would not permit this, and naturally desires to prove that power*. He has the entire Mohammedan people with him. Prince Tuan also has a large following, whpe Prince Olaskan controls the entire province of Mongolia. The rumors which have been current i during the past few days of the outtive to registration, compelling re-reg- ! break of a rebellion headed by Gen. istration of voters in Saginaw count}', i Tung-Fu-Sian (the former commander Two bills now in the hands of the house village corporation committee will be of much interest to the various villages of the state. One provides for of the northern army) in the provinces of Mongolia and Shen-Si, have been absolutely authenticxted. Unofficial Chiuamen of intelligence regard the the election of a village president for a | n s i n ? a s most unfortunate, at thepresterm of two vears instead of one as a t Ke n t t l r a e ' to t h e interests of China, and as present, and the other provides for the possibly meaning the use of foreign election by the people of a marshall and street commissioner. At present those officers are appointed by the president, and in many cases it is claimed the appointments are made with a view of building up political fences or with some personal ends rather than with an aim for the villages' best interests. The bill is likely to receive favorable consideration this week. In committee of the whole on the 8th, the senate, by a vote of 12 to 12, agreed to Senator Loorais' bill providing that there shall be women members of the state asylum boards. The joint resolution requesting congress to submit to a vote of the people a federal constitutional amendment permitting candidates for IT. S. offices to be voted for directly by the people instead of having them elected by the state legislatures, was agreed to. Senator Murfin's bill cutting down the time in which suits may ba brought for personal injuries from three to* two years was also agreed to. The following bills were passed by the house on the Oth: Constituting the five supervisors of the city of Adrian a board of review for the assesHment of property; limiting the amount to bo raised for municipal purposes in the city of Grand Rapids to 1 per c e n t The present limit is 1M per cent; changing name of the state house( of correction and reformatory at l o n i * to Michigan reformatory. troops to protect even the court itself.

T o walk straight lip to the door of a strange bouse, with nothing but ' a plaid shawl thrown over your head, requires a considerable amount of courage and nerve. At every step of the way Miss Marjorie's scruples grew stronger—her sense of outraged propriety more clear. At last she cam© to a dead, step, Just as they reached the outer gate of Hollow Ash Hall. "What is It now?" asked Cowley, patting her hand encouragingly. "I really can't go in, Charles!" "Nonsenoe!" "They will think I am mad. Only sect I konw that my hair is half down and I have no bonnet! Don't make me go there, Charles, till I am more presentable—there's a dear." "Madam, do you intend to obey your lawful husband or not?" said Mr. Cowley, with mock solemnity. "But, Charles, do hear reason." "No, I won't! I've had enough of reason in my life. So come along, my love. The moment you enter yonder door you will get a warm greeting for my sake, and no one will stop to think whether you have a bonnet on or not. But that is just like you women! You can't even die comfortably unless you have a fashionable winding sheet to be wrapped in! ,fMen never study appearance—that is- a fact well known!" said Miss Marjorie, quietly. He laughed, and led her up the avenue. The shutters of the house were all closed, but through a crevice iu one of tho lov/ windows came a bright line of light, testifying to the presence of its occupants. "Now look for it! Look an dignified as you can, Marjorie," said Mr. Cowley, and rang the bell. A light came rapidly through ths hall. The door was opened, and a stout female.with a candle in her hand, peered doubtfully out into the night. "la it you, master?" she began. And ju&t then catching sight of the muffled figure of Marjorie, she gavo a shrill yell of horror and ran away. "tt's ould Queen Bess herself, and a tall black man with her!" they heard her scream—and then came a B^bel of voices from the inner room. "Shut the door! Lock it! Kee.T them out!" said one. "t do wish papa would come! It Is too* bad to leave us in such a place alonel" sighed another. 'But some one is really at the door," *poke up a third. "It is all nonsense about Queen Bess; I am going to see what they want!" "Oh, don't. Rose!" cried her mother and Bister. "indeed, Miss Rose, it is Quoen Bess as natural as life!" put in Mrs. Macarthy. •'Nonsense," replied Rose, and taking the candlo she went out to the door with a firm step. "Who is It, and what do you want?" she asked, quietly. Mr. Cowley stepped in, and let the ligfcJt shin© full upon his face. •'Won't you know me. Rose?" "Why Charles—Cousin Charles, can it b e your* "tt is really me." "But I thought you were in Australia." "So I was till a few weeks ago. Don't •be alarmed. Rose; I am no ghost, but solid flesh and blood. And here is some one else, for whom I must crave a welcome—my wife, Rose, whom your servant mistook for the apparition of Queen Elizabeth." Rose stared, as well she might, when he drew in Miss Marjorie beside him. But Cousin Charles was her great favorite, and she had faith in everything ho did—in everybody he loved. So she held out her hand to the boun d l e s s stranger, with a pleasant smile, and then led the way to the drawing roo«i. "Mamma, you will never guess who has came!" she exclaimed. "Cousin Charles Cowley from Australia, and his wife." Greatly bewildered, Mrs. Cowley came forward to welcome her guests. She had the wildest notions about the manners and customs of foreign countries and seeing a tall, stately lady with a plaid cloak doing duty for head and shoulders, as bonnet and shawl, she instantly fancied that it must be the native co3tume of the land from whk*t she came—the ne plus ultra of all elegance and grace among the ladies of Melbourne and Sydney. It was good to see Mr. Cowley's face as the consciousness of her mistake dawned upon him by degrees. "Dear me! Charles from Australia, and his wife!. My dear, you are most welcome. Will you lay aside your—•' She was at a i o s s .h#v; to designate the article of dress, hut finally hit upon the word, "'burnous" as being the most suitable to the purpose. "Will you take off your burnous, my dear?" At that Mr. Cowley burst out laughing. "My dear aunt, it is not a burnous, but an old platd cloak!" he exclaimed. "And my wife never saw Australia in her life. She has been living in this neighborhood for more than a year, and I just found her out by the merest chance in the world to-night, and immediately ran away with her." Every face, even Mrs. Macarthy's, expressed the moot intense interest, and curiosity. . "If you will sit down I will tell you the story in a very few words," he observed; and within Ave minutes he was the centre of a most cosy-looking circle, with Miss Marjorie upon his right hand and Rose upon his left. "You must al know that my Marjorie is an orphan," he begun. "I mot her first at a house in London, where, among the gayest of parties, her little pale, sad face caught my eye, and without my knowing it won my heart. Tt was her uncle's house, but she was not happpy there. Her cousins tyrannized over her—her aunt snubbed her—^and I soon found that her uncle and myself were almost the only friends she had in the world. No doubt I twisted this fact to my own purpose. I own candidly that I rejoiced when others were rude to her, so that she might see that I was kind. I won h2r, I do believe, more because she was grateful to me than'because she loved me; but the love came afterwards, so that it did not matter. I won her, and made her my wife, in spite of all the sheers of her cousins, and the discouraging coldness of her aunt. "For a time, we v/era very happy, Then some unknown correspondent began to trouble my peace. Anonymous letters came to me day after day, which told me that my wife wa3 not what she seemed—that she loved another—that she only waited her time to play mo false. "I was foolish enough to read the slanders—to think of them—at last, to believe them. Circumstances, which looked suspicious then, but which I have seen by a far clearer light since, came up one after another to make m j distrust Marjorie still more. At last I felt so convinced of her faithlessness that I deserted her. "I left a letter saying why I had gone. I left her money, and I hava never seen her face from that day till tonight it beamed upon me out of tho darkness like an accusing spirit. Aunt—Rose—she has been a school teacher—a governess, a companion, during my absence. But she is one of the best and purest women on earth; and I took her away* just as she was, from her drudgery, to come and tell you so. I am sure you will all befriend her. Will you not?" "Every one of us!" was the hearty reply, and Mrs. Cowley folded the young wife in a motherly embrace, and Rose and Catharint "kissed her on the cheek in the most sisterly fashion. Tears stood in Marjorie's dark eyes as they did so; and her husband turnei his head for a moment, as if ashamed of the weakness which he could not help feeling and showing at their kindness. "What the good lady who employs her will say to her elopement, I cannot conjecture," remarked Mr. Cowley after a moment's pause. "Oh! she never had a very good opinion of me!" said Marjorie, cheerfully. "And she will probably utter £» devout thanksgiving when she finds that she is to see me no more. There never was much love lost between us, 1 am afraid." "Was she \ nice person?" asked Catharine. "Not according to my definition of the word nice. I can describe her to you In a very short time. She is a stout women, who thinks herself ill when she is only lazy, and who never gets out of her easy chair except to go to bed or to fly Into a rage—which. she does on an average of twelve times a day. No—decidedly I do not call Mrs. Magnum a nice person." "I should think not!" said Rose, laughing. "I wish I - could see her face when she hears you are gone!" "Never mind Mrs. Magnum, now, said Mr. Cowley. "I want to hear something about my uncle and this road freak of his. What could have put it Into his head to take a haunted house?" "Ah!" said Catharine, ruefully; "you must ask Rose that." "Why?" "Because she was at the bottom of it all!" "Is that so, Rose?" "I am afraid I must plead guilty, Charles. I thought it would be a> nice and mmantte t o live with a g h o s t But I don't like It at all. There U a dreadful cradle-rocking, in the kitchea every right, and not one of us dares to stop there a moment after dusk. Papa heard it the first night we came, and yet he wonrt go away. I think he la a little frightened, but he fancies that people will' laugh at him if he goes away. And so " "And so It will go on till we are all carried* off bodily by these horrible cradle-rocking creatures, and then your father will be satisfied," broke in Mrs. Cowley, more in sorrow than in anger. Her nephew broke out laughing. "Ah, you may laugh, Charlie; but I c a n assure you it is no Joke to live In a place that gives you the cold shivers every time you stop to think what It really is. And Mr. Cowley actually talks of spending his Christmas here! But nothing shall tempt me to stay, even if he does. At any rt*her time 1 can stand it; but I will n * eat turkey and plum pudding* Ln company with half a dozen grown-up hobgoblins to please any man alive!" "You are quite right, aunt. But 1 really was not laughing at your troubles, only at your funny way of telling them. But, joking apart, what Is this story about a cradle? Because I have heard something in Australia, which. I think relates to this house." "In Australia? Why, how could any one know of it there?" asked Rose opening her eyes very wide. "Who owns this house?" "A Mr. Vernon." "Exactly so. Do you know what his first name is?" "Alfred," said Mrs. Cowley. Her nephew looked perplexed for a moment; then his face cleared again. "Oh, I see! George was his brother. How long is it since they have lived in this house—the Vernons, I mean?" "Oh, a great many years! Twenty or twenty-two, I think." "That makes the story clear. You must know that I met a Mr. Georg.5 Vernon in Australia—a man about forty years old. He drank to excess and gambled desperately; and, in fact, there were a great many queer stories told of him one way and another. "One night he was in my tent wit'i several of his friends, and t h e - c o n - versation turned upon the reality of ghosts, and the amount of credulity required to believe in them. Vernon said little at first, but later in the evening he suddenly looked up at me and exclaimed, "It is true, every syllable of it. They do come back. I have seen and heard'them, too, by dav and night, for twenty years past. They can come in any shape. They can turn' their hands to anything. Why, I hav-s known one to rock a cradle four-andtwenty hours without ceasing and sin* all the while into the bargain!" " 'What a useful ghost to have in the house with a small family/ said some one, laughing. "I never saw any one turn as pale as Vernon did. " 'Useful! You would not crack your jokes about them if you staid a night alone in my old house at Banley,' he exclaimed. 'Gad! What with the butler's pantry and the turret-room, it's little like laughing you'd feel by morning, I am thinking! Pass me the brandy and let me get it out of my head.' "And sure enough he did get it out of his head; for It took two men to sec him safe home when he left my tent at 10 o'clock that night." "And what do you infer from that, Charles?" inquired his wife. "Why, my dear, this is near Banley, and the only house that I have ever heard of where a cradle rock3. To make assurance doubly sure, Mr Vernon's brother own's the place now. I would be willing to take my oath that the rocking of the cradle has something to do with one-of thesa men; but which of the two'I am not prepared to say." "I saw George," exclaimed Rose, who had been deeply interested in the story. "And I should like to hear the cradle." remarked Mr. Cowley. "Oh, don't think of such a thing! It's too horrible!" exclaimed both the girls. "I only want to convince myself that it does rock." "But we all heard it." "Then I confess I am like the young lady whose grandmother told her that she had found out by her own experience that love-making was very dangerous work. I want to find out by my own experience, too. Where is this cradle?" "In the kitchen." "Does it rock every night?" "Yes." "At what time?" "It begins about nine." "And It now wants a quarter to ten. It must be in full s w i n g by this time. Rose, will you do the honors of the ghost to your old friend?" "Not I." ~ ^ ~ "Catharine?" "I must beg to be exensod." "Well, aunt, will you come?" "No, Charles; I'll never set foot in that awful kitchen again, by day or night, while I have my right senses." "Then I am sure that good servant of yours——*" Mrs. Macarthy shrieked a quick denial before he had time to finish the sentence, and Rose laughed. (To he continued.J —- I 1 1 1 B U L L I T I H Issued at Washington Says That the Wheat Crop is 0. K. 91.7 PER CENT OF A CROP On April 1, Which to the Hl*hctt Avers*© for the P u t lO Tears, May be Blasted by the Pesky Hessian Flyr WtUob Is Reported From Many States. Wheat Crop ln the U. 8. is O. K. The April report of the statistician of the department of agriculture will show the average condition of winter wheat o n April 1 ,to have been 91.7, against 82.1 on April 1, 1900, 77.9 at the corresponding date in 1899, and 83.9, the mean of the April averages of the last 10 years. The averages in the principal states are as follows: Pennsylvania, 89; Ohio, 83; Michigan, 72;. Indiana, 89; Illinois, 92; Texas, 63; Tennessee, 81; Missouri, 98; Kansas, 105, Nebraska, 100; California, 100, and Oklahoma, 97. While the general average of condition, 91.7, is the highest since 1891, the presence of the Uessian fly is reported from an unprecedentedly large number of states, and serious misgivings prevail, even in states reporting a fairly high condition on April 1, as to the possible developments of the next 30 days. The average condition of winter rye on April 1, was 93.1 against 84.8 on April 1, 19»0, 84.9 at the corresponding date in 1899. and 88.3 the mean of the April averages of the last 10 years. In New York and Pennsylvania it was 92, in Illinois and Kansas 100, in Indiana 95, and in Michigan and Ohio 90. Pending the forthcoming publication of the census report on live stock, which will be used for the verification or correction of the department's figures for the year 1900, the statistician has temporarily discontinued his own e s t i m a t e s . o f the number and value of farm animala. While this omission '"»"-' renders it impossible to maice any definite statement as to the losses from disease and exposure during the year ending March, 1901. (the losses being reported as a percentage of the total number of farm animals), the reports received from correspondents leave absolutely no room for doubt that, owing mainly to the general mildness of the past winter, such losses have been much below the average of a series of years. Monument to a Hero Unveiled. The magnificent equestrian siatue of Gen. John Logan, erected in Iowa circle, Washington, in loving memory of the distinguished warrior and statesman by his comrades in arms and by the people, was unveiled on the 9th. The ceremony occurred in the presence of an immense assemblage, including* President McKinley and the members of his cabinet, the surviving members of Gen. Logan's family and many persona eminent in the military and civil life of the nation. A grandson of the general, Master George Tucker, drew the silken cord which released the flattering flags that draped the statue and» disclosed to view the heroic bronze figure. Tom L> Cats Loose on Taxation. Mayor Tom L. Johnson.of Cleveland, has decided that the corporations doing business in that city do not pay their just proportion of taxes and has taken steps to have their assessments increased. A force of clerks has been put t o work preparing a list of all the big concerns, together with blue prints of their establishments and the taxes they pay. When full information has been obtained the mayor proposes to go before the city board of equalization and demand that the corporations be compelled to pay what be terms equitable taxes. The mayor, it is announced, will make a special effort to show that the steam and electric railways are assessed far too low. Whole Family Wiped Out. T h e family of J as. Smith, including the father, mother and four children, were instantly killed in their home on the n i g h t of the 9th by the sliding of t h e h u g e dump of the Granite mine, near Cripple Creek, Col. The Smith residence w a s located just below the base of the damp. The recent snows had softened the dump so that the top suddenly slid down, crushing the house and burying its inmates. Hundreds of m e n are now digging away the dirt and rook. No American Land for Britain. Negotiations on the Hay-Pauneefete abrogation of the Clayton-Bui wer treaty are progressing, though they have s o t y e t passed the tentative stage. A -representative of the Associated Press says that they are being conducted on a quid pro quo basis and that no other method of abrogation would be considered by the British government The foreign office hopes that a settlement, satisfactory to both the LI. S. and Great Britain will be arrived at before congress is reconvened. It is estimated that it will require at least 10,000 harvest hands to take care of the small grain in the wheat pelt of Kansas this year. C U B A A N D PHILIPPINE N E W S . The establishment of civil govern* meat in the Phillipines, which ia to take place about July 1, brings up the question of who will be in supreme authority under the President. The law says that "all military, civil and judicial powers shall be vested in such person or persons as the President shall direct" The language has been weighed very carefully and the designation "person" followed by "perw>ns" is taken to mean that the President shall name some one to have supreme command under his own direction and that the "persona" shail be those acting under that command. Judge Taft, it is understood, is to be the governor of the islands, but it will be necessary to have some one in Washington to act as a medium of communication between the President and the governor. Since the rebellion in the Philippines, 50,000 is the lowest estimate of the war department of the casualties sustained by the Filipino forces; 7,007 rifles have been captured or surrendered; 605,143 rounds of ammunition, as shown by incomplete returns, have been seized. The number of Filipinos killed cannot be accurately determined, as Gen. MacArthur, in his dispatches, states that it is impossible to be accurate on this point It would not surprise officials should the Filipino fatalities reach 25.000, and some say that 50.000 is closer to the real figures. AdjtGen. Corbin is satisfied that the casualties suffered by the Filipinos will in themselves form a potent reason for the abandonment of further resistance by the natives. Gen. MacArthur says it is impossible to make a statement concerning Aguinaldo now. It is possible that Agulnaldo will soon be removed from the Malacanang palace to a large house, with pleasant grounds in a fashionable part of the city of Manila, beside the Pasig river, which is being renovated and prepared for occupancy. Aguinaldo is purchasing diamonds and other jewelry. Be continues to receive certain visitors,but neUvspaper correspondents are excluded. It is believed he is reluctant to sign the manifesto he is -preparing owing to the conditions attached to i t Although the officials are uncoramunative it is nevertheless said that Aguinaldo signed the peace manifesto on the "9th. Chief Justice Arellano drafted the document Aguinaldo strongly objected to two clauses of the manifesto and considerabe argument was required to overcome his objections. Col. Aba, the insurgent leader of Zatnbales province, with 13 officers, 80 men and 92 rifles, surrendered to Lieut Col. Maneil C. Gootrell, commanding the marines stationed at Olongapo, oa Subig bay on the 8th. Gen. Malvar, with about 3o0 men and as many rifles, is expected to surrender shortly at Silang, in Cavite province. The trial of M. Brix Uoelterman, the Belgian who was connected with the Philippine Trading Co, and whose arrest oc the charge of furnishing supplies to the insurgents was announced Feb. 19. has been cotnpleted. The evidence of the Filipino nolonel, Herrera, who recently surrendered, clinched the prosecution. The colonel testified tl at Hoelterman had furnished money and rice supplies to the insurgents. Under the old regulations, cockpits will be re-established in Manila, the privilege of conducting them being granted to the widow of Capt Lara, who commanded the native police of the city. Formerly the municipal revenue derived from cock fighting amounted to 100,000 annually. Gen. Sandico, a former member of Aguinaldo's cabinet has surrendered to the American authorities at Cabanatuan. in the province of New Ecija. Ue has a bad record and may be tried. %W T R A N S V A A L WAR ITEMS. A rather unexpected result has followed Mr. Chamberlain's recent speech in support of the scheme tor sending women out to South Africa at the conclusion of the war. An enormous number of letters has been received from women eager to emigrate and reluctant to wait till hostilities are ended. One woman who wrote direct to Lord Salisbury said she was prepaxvd to go out at once with her mother and sisters, but she indicated no particular sphere of usefulness. Another wrote to the colonial office in behalf of herself and a few other "first-class lady barbers." Naturally the colonial office authorities are doing their utmost to discourage applications from women other than those who are selfdependent, and girls of the servant type are urgently advised not to go out at all.

Just at this time another horse driven by Harold Grippen became unraanagable, dashed in the back of Glenn's rig which crowded the baggy so close the track that the fourth coach caught the wheel, thus forcing the horse into the fence. After the train passed the boys found they had escaped injury, but the two rigs were demolished and Glenn's horse was so badly injured it had to be killed.

The talks that the secretary of state thus far has had with senators on the subject of a canal treaty have revealed a considerable opposition to any treaty at all, some senators insisting that nothing more is requisite to the construction of the canal than the abrogation of the Clayton - Bulwer treaty, and it is still far from certain that a treaty can be drafted that will rotnmaod the support of two-thirds of the senate, and still be reasonably acceptable to Great Britain.

One of the subjects discussed at the recent meeting of clergymen, at New York, called to consider the growing passion of society women for gambling, was the fact that there are so few children in the homes of the rich and so many in the tenements. The ministers deplore the fact that there are so few young people in their congregations and so few children in the Sunday schools. Reports from 13 prominent •churches attended by families of weallh •and fashion showed a total membership of 9,6G1 with but 1500 children on 'the rolls of the Sunday schools. It was reported that only 61 children attended 'Sunday school of a church which has 1,000 members. Will She Become a Nan ? It is reported that Queen Marie Amelie, wife of Don Carlos, king of Portugal, has resolved to become a nun. This is a direct result of the protracted quarrel between the royal couple over the king's attitude toward the religious orders of the country. She is a devout Catholic while her husband sides with the liberals, and during the recent disturbances he openly espoused their cause against the church. However, in the better informed circles at LlslK> n it is declared that the story is ab- .fcolutely fantastical. ^ ^ _ ftfartlnelll Now a Cardinal.

SKUNK FARMS DO NOT FAY. Official Report on the Babjeet «• the secretary of Agriculture. A newspaper story of the profits made by raising skunks for their skins is giving officials of the agricultural department no end of trouble. It first bobbed up about a year ago. It set forth thai the agricultural department had been studying skunk culture, and had found that the beasts were more profitable than a gold mine. As a result of the story the department has received many letters of inquiry. T. S. Palmer, assistant chief of the biological survey, wants to correct this misapprehension. In a report to Secretary Wilson he says: "Misled by the statements about the rapid increase of skunks and the high prices paid for their skins, many persons seriously considered starting skunk farms.' For several years a list has been kept of such farms located in various parts of the country, but so far as can be learned, most of them have been abandoned. Raising fur-bearing animals for profit is not a new idea. The industry, however, has apparently never advanced beyond the experimental stage, except in the case of the farms for raising the Arctic or blue fox, established on certain islands of the coast of Alaska. Minks and skunks breed rapidly in captivity but the low price of skins make the profits rather small. Last season the highest market price for prime black skunk skins from the northern states averaged about $1.45 each, but white skins sold as low as 15 to 20 cents apiece. Skins that have much white or which are obtained from the southern states usually bring less than $1 each, a price that leaves little margin for profit after paying the expense of raising the animal in captivity." —New York Sun.

HowDont Get the Blues: When a cheerful, brave end light-hearted woman is suddenly plunged into tha£ perfection of misery, the blues, it is a sad picture. It is usually this way r She has been feeling out of sorts for some time, experiencing severe headache and backache; sleeps very poorly and is exceedingly nervous. Sometimes she is nearly overcome by faintness, dizziness, and palpitation of the heart; then that bearing-down feeling is dreadfully wearing. Her husband says, " Now, don't get the blues I You will be all right after you have taken the doctor's medicine." But she does not get all right She grows worse day by day, until all at once she realizes that a distressing female complaint is established. Her doctor has made a mistake. She loses faith; hope vanishes: then comes the morbid, melancholy, everlasting blues. She should have been told just what the trouble was, but probably she withheld some information from the doctor, who, therefore, is unable to accurately locate her particular illness. Mrs. Pinkham has relieved thousands of women from just this kind of trouble, and now retains their grateful letters in her library as proof Of the great assistance she has rendered them. This same assistance awaits every sick woman in the land. Mrs. Winifred Altender** Letter. u V A V |MKJWIUfREP ALUNM8I DEAR MRS.

The crystalline lens of the eye Is the one portion of the human body which continues to increase in size throughout life and does not cease with the attainment of maturity. The smallest interval of sound can be better distinguished with one ear than with both. In fifty-four cases out of 100 the left leg is stronger than the right. The bones of an average human male skeleton weigh twenty pounds; those of a woman are six pounds lighter. That unruly member, the tongue of a woman, is also smaller than that of a. man, given a man and a woman <of equal size and weight. It may be appalling to reflect, but it is nevertheless true, that the muscles of the human body exert a force of over 500 pounds. The symmetry which is the sole intelligible ground for OUT idea of beauty, the proportion between the upper and lower half of the human body, exists in nearly all males, but is never found in the female. American limbs are more symmetrical thai those of any other people. An aw. trage head of fair hair oonalsts of «t,040 hairs, dark hair ot 105,000, wnile a red head has only 29200. Fairhaired people are becoming less numerous than formerly. A person who has lived seventy years Las had pass through his heart about 675,020 tons of blood, the' whole of the blood in the body passing through the heart in about thirty-two beatB. '.The heart beats on an average of seventy times a minute, or 35,792.000 times in the course of a yeat\ so that the heart of an ordinary man, eighty years of age, has beaten 3,000,000 times. The heart beats ten strokes a minute less when one is lying down than when one is in an upright jjosition.—Chicago Journal. OTHER NOTABLE CURES.

Mauy travelers returning from c h i n a have commented upon the apparently singular lack of knowledge of the distances across their country or between their towns that exists among tlie Chinese, If at one town you inquire the distance to the next, you may be told thai it is 20 li (one-third of a mile), but upon arriving at the town yon will be surprised to iiml the distance hack to the town from which you have j i n t come is 24 li and that the cost of journeying back again is correspondingly greater than the cost to go to it. The Chinese measure distance'not by' rule, but by the amount of pliysh-al energy required to traverse them. Their w a g e is based on a unit of energy, the amount that it taki's them to carry a given load, one picul one li, on level ground. If the road from A to 1» is down hill, the distance is regarded as less than the actual linear distance because it is supposed to take less energy to travel in that direction, or, as the Chinese say. "the li are short." It naturally follows that in traveling in the other direction, from B back to A. the road being a gradual ascent, a greater expenditure of energy is necessary. "The li are long." and in order to get a fair compensation for their work the carriers must see that the distance and the charges t>re correspondingly increased. With .this explanation what lias often appeared as a vagary of the Chinese becomes simple and reasonab l e - L e s l i e ' s Weekly. TO Cure a. Cold in One Day T a k e Laxative Bromo Ouinin« Tanlets.

W h n t tln> W h i t e >I<»n <'linr«ed T h e m F o r KilliiiK Out* Dii-.iki'v, In "Ueininisi-ences of (Mil Times In Tennessee" a story Is told of the good faith and honor of a party of Chickas a w Indians. While hunting one fall they shot a donkey, mistaking the creature for a wild animal. They sold t h e hide, and it finally came to the hands of John Barnes in Lint on. When the Chiekasaws returned to the region of Liptoii for their annual hunt the next fall, Barnes invited them to a shooting match, the prize to be the skin of a very r a r e animal. Thirty braves appeared at the eontest, and. one of them won the prize. When he saw the skin, he turned it over and said: "Ha, ha. me kill him! Me shoot him! Seel" And he pointed to the fatal bullet hole. Then Barnes told them that they had killed a donkey, a very useful animal. b u t he was sure t h a t they had done It b y mistake, believing it to be a wild animal. The Indians listened attentively to the» white man's words and then con* suited •together a few minutes. Finally they separated, each brave going to his pony, unhitching him and loading him to the spot where a gang of white men stood, Barnes in the midst of them. Then one of the Indians spoke: . " W e sorry we kill donkey. We think he belong.to the woods.' We tind him in cane. We think him wild.' We sorry; now we pay. We ta' o no white man's hoss, pony, nothing of white man. We honest. We have ponies, t h a t ' s all. Take pay. ' And he motioned to the long line of ponies, held by their owners. " H o w many'.'" asked Barnes. "White man say," returned t h e ,Indian, "take plenty." The honor of the red 1110:1 was not equaled by the white nfen. for. be it recorded to t h e i r ' shame, they took from the Chiekasaws 'in ponies to p:iy for the accidental killing of one don-, key.

Few mountaineers go fur enough Into the :iv?>.l:ini'he regions to see much of them, ami lower still know the thrilling exhilaration of ruling on them, says .John Muir in The Atlantic. In all my wild mountaineering 1 have enjoyed only one avalanche ride, and the start was so sudden and the end came so soon I thought hut little of the clanger t h a t goes with this sort of travel, though one thinks fast at such times. One calm, bright morning in Yoseinite, after a hearty storm had given throe' or four feet of fresh snow 10 the mountains, being eager to see as many avalanches as possible and gain wide views of lhe peaks and forests arrayed in their new robes before the su.ishine had time to change or rearrange them, I set out early to climb by a side canyon to the top of a commanding ridge a little over 3,000 feet above the valley. Hut I was not to get top views of any sort t h a t day, but Instead of these something quite different, for deep tranipjing near the canyon head when1 the snow was strained started an avalanche, and 1 was swished back down to the foot of the canyon as if by enchantment. The plodding, wallowing ascent of about a mile had taken all day, the undoing descent perhaps about a minute. When the snow suddenly gave way, I instinctively threw myself on my back and spread my arms to try to keep from sinking. Fortunately, though the grade of the canyon w a s steep, it was not interrupted by step levels or precipices big enough to cause outbouncling or free plunging. On no part of the rush was I buried. I was only moderately imbedded on t h e surface or a little below it and covered with a hissing bach streaming veil, and as the whole mass beneath or about me joined in the flight I felt no friction, though tossed here and there and lurched from side to side, and when die torrent wedged and came to rest 1 found myself on the top of the crumpled pile, without a single bruise or KiraTr — •••-•. IlaWthorne s a y s ' t h a t steam has spiritualized travel, notwithstanding the smoke, friction, smells and clatter of boat and mil riding. This flight in a milky way of snow flowers was the most spiritual of all my travels, and after many years the mere thought of it is still an exhilaration. AINTING BIG SIGNS. CURIOUS PRIVILEGES. Some of the T'reroffntivem Which EmbaiiMuUor* Slay E x e r c i s e . A curious privilege of an embassa-dor is t h a t ho and he alone when dismissed may turn his back to the sovereign to whose court ho is accredited. The mode of procedure is as follows: When the embassador's audience is over, he waits to be dismissed by the sovereign. When dismissed, the embassador bows, retires three paces. bows again, retires another three paces, bows a third time, turns on his heels and walks to the folding doors. But it is felt t h a t more polite methods should obtain when t h e reigning sovereign is a woman. To turn his back is to be discourteous, to walk backward is to resign a privilege. The embassador retires sideways, like a crab. H e keeps one eye on t h e sovereign and with t h e other tries to see the door. H e t h u s shows politeness to the sovereign and at the same time retains one of his privileges. As the embassador is usually an old gentleman, often short sighted, he sometimes fails to reach t h e door and comes in collision with the wall. ^Another privilege of embassadors is the right of being ushered into the royal presence through folding doors, both of which must be flung wide open. No one except an embassador can claim this privilege. T h e ' most any nonombassadorial person can expect is tli.it one of the leaves shall be o p e n e d to hi in. The reason for this privih'gv is not known.

Although the vivid advertisements of Jhe excellences of foods, ointments, l-lothing, all mechanical appliances known to man and a thousand other things never dreamed of in the philosophy of a hundred yeaYsTSljo a\*e continually catching t h e eye and possibly Shocking the artistic sensibilities of the beholder, few of the ordinary observers give a moment's question to the makers of advertisements. The advertising craze has grown of late to such huge and unlovely proportions t h a t a n y brief account fails to explain its workings. The office of a large advertising concern is one of the busiest places in town. Artists are constantly appearing with designs for the firm, a small army of men with paint pots and brushes a r e hovering about waiting to be sent out. and everywhere are gny evidences of the results of all this labor. " W h o are the men that paint these* 'heroic' pictures one sees on unused walls and lofty fences?" asked a reporter of one of the men who keeps these subordinates busy. "They are not the people you think ' rhem, I fancy." was t h e ausvrer.

Ky this I mean that many of them have had yearn of training in d r a w i n g ; and color work. Several of them have : studied abroad in the ateliers of well ! known men. A m a n whom I saw paintlug a head on a wall yesterday is a 'night instructor in a Brooklyn a r t ' school. Recently one of our men painted on a large wall the biggest portrait ever attempted. He ha 1 studied five : "Tears in the Paris art schools." j " W h y do they take up this work'/" j " T h e other doesn't pay. It's a case of 'comnietcialism in art.' They tind that they can't m a k e the real thing ' pay. so they come to this common calling. There's money in it. Why, our star painters get #50 a week. . The daubers, who put in backgrounds, don't earn more than $10 or $15 a week." j The men who paint the designs in various inaccessible and conspicuous places have with them small copies uf the designs to be reproduced. Long experience makes them expert in accurately tracing the design upon the chosen surface. Although the familiar advertisements scattered over the city seem exactly alike and one face seems the exact counterpart of another, yet closer inspection will *>how various points of difference. In the ease of a •very familiar picture which is displayed from one end of the United States to the other, when it was first brought out oue man w a s hired for the sole purpose of painting t h a t one design, and to do this he traveled from Maine to California. ; "Not tiie least of our difficulties," said the advertising .man, "is 'linding places to put our signs. We hire men iwho do nothing else but go about and obtain permission from owners to put i up billboard.; on their premises, use n vacant wall or decorate a fence or a | ropf. It needs great tn.-t to do this, j W h e n there are objections, they m u s t I be overcome, and after this is done [the owner often gets the idea that his , available space is worth thousands of dollars to us and to him. The experiences of advertising men among farmers and t r a m p s would m a k e a mighty interesting book." " W h y do you say t r a m p s ? " "Oh, the t r a m p s are our worst enemies. They build fires behind our (billboards and burn them or else tear them down out of sheer wantonness." j When asked about the price a blank brick wall in a conspicuous part of ; New York would bring to its owner if he let it for advertising purposes, the advertising man laughed and said ho , could not tell that, but he did not mind ' saying that he was now [laying $0.000 \ year rent for a wall in the middle of the shopping district. "This is not an I unusual sum to pay," he added, "for such prominent positions." ! Advertising firms a r e liberal sub- ; soribers to all art magazines, partieu- ! larly to those French art periodicals which display the newest d r a w i n g s of the still popular poster. The ideas of the foreign artists are taken freely and converted into gaudy designs for advertising the latest song or a new cigar without the least compensation, since, as the advertisers assert, American Ideas are. assimilated abroad just ns j unceremoniously. Not all the large reproductions of tig- J ures and faces on our streets and along j the roof tops a r c handwork. Many of J them are machine made. Ky a process ikln to that of making lithographs machines have been invented to lay the colors automatically.

T h e W a r He Spent It P r e p a r i n g - F o r H U D e a t h . "Billy Bolton, the Lansingburg brewer, was a very rich man and one with a. host of friends," said an up s t a t e man! to the New York Sun. "f'Hf8 brewery in Lansingburg was a profitable concern, and he practically owned about all the saloons in t h a t town. "One day after a consultation his physicians told him t h a t he had Bright'* disease and that he surely would not live more than a year. Bills*. t o ° k t h e w word for it a n d made up his mind to make the fur fly while life w a s left. H e had never traveled much, and so he decided to go around the world. " H e took with him a congenial friend and plenty of money, and a w a y they went. They left a trail of nr« a n d ashes through all the capitals of Europe and the queer and strange places of Asia and Africa. After nine m o n t h s they came l a c k , and Bolton brought with him the most marvelous collection «f souvenirs and presents t h a t any man not a professional collector ever brought into this country. The duties amounted to $^,000. "Arrived in Lansingburg, Billy hired the town hall, sent his packing boxes filled \vith these oriental and European treasures up to the hall and had them all taken out and put on exhibition as though,for a church fair. Upon each article he1 marked the name of some friend whom he wished to r e m e m b e r with a gi f-fc—^f here w ere b m i d reds—Hi this category, but Billy had presents for them all. "On the* day appointed for t h e pres entation he invited his army of friends to the town hall. To each he t u r n e d over tho present selected for hlni, and amid the cheers of his grateful and admiring fellow townsmen the hall <was stripped of its beautiful things. "When the* last present had been placed in the hands of, its recipient, Billy went back to his home and laj down to die. Within the yeap-his physicians' prophecy came* true, and the town gave him the finest funeral that any man ever had." A Great Error.

Representative Neal, of the ways and means committee, says that the total of that committee recommendations of expenditure this term will be less than that of 1899 by more than a $1,000,000. The almost unanimous sentiment prevailing in the committee seems to be emphatically against the establishment of any new state' insittutions, but rather to taka* good care of those already established. Half a doz^n different cities and localities are plugging for new Normal schools, new fish stations, new asylums, etc., but the committee's talk on the side is not as yet very encouraging for the advocates of those measures.

It was also the emblem of purity. A crywu of olive twigs was thftj highest honor that could be bestowed npon a Greek citizen. An olive branch was also the symbol of peace, and the vanquished who came to beg for peace bore oliye branches in their hands. The American olive is remarkable for the hardness of its wood. It is found as far north as Virginia. Its fruit is fit for use, and its flowers are fragrant. The fragrant olive of China aud Japan has extremely fragrant flowers, which are used for flavoring tea. Polite Erie Commuters, A stranger who had an appointment to meet a friend in the Chambers street ferry house, which" is used by Erie commuters, was greatly puzzled the other afternoon by the actions of the men who passed the ticket taker's window. Nearly three-fourths of them took their hats off to the ticket taker in the most polite style. The stranger thought that possibly the ticket taker's wife was in the box with him, and he went back to look again. There was no one in the box save the ticket taker, who looked good naturod, but not imposing. When his friend arrived, the stranger said: "Is that the president of the Erie road in that box?" "Certainly not. Why do you ask such a question?" "Why, every man who passes him takes his hat off, gives him a marching salute and walks on." The friend smiled pityingly at the stranger's ignorance and said it was a , . i i , ^, trick of the Erie commuters to carry has been brought out in Germany t h e i r t i c k e t s i n t u e c r o v v u of t h e i r h a t s . in which the written or printed i They took their hats off so that the NOTICE.

WILL INTEREST MICHIGANDERS Smallpox Is Still on the Increase la the State' According* to Secretary Baker's Monthly Bulletin—Three Deaths From the Disease Is the Record for March. Some remarkable relics of the early civilization in Egypt have recently been unearthed and deposited in the British Museum. Among them ia a beautiful impression of a royal seal which represents the king wrestling with a hippopotamus and spearing a crocodile. That must have been the king's busy day. That the art of cooking ranks high in the estimation of Briti3h army officials is showp by the recent grant of $2,500 to the widow of the late staff Sergt.- Maj. Thompson, in recognition of the valuable services rendered by her husband who was for many years the chief instructor of the army school of cooking at Aldershot. Trouble at Monroe. A representative of Brennan, Donnelly & VanDemark, attorneys for the Detroit & Toledo shore line railroad, went to Monroe last Saturday night, (April 20), and routed out the county officials, filing a bill of complaint against the city of Monroe, the common council, Mayor Martin, Street Commissioner Beck and the Toledo & Monroe Railway Co., to prohibit them from interfering with the crossing laid by the shore line on that date. A temporary injunction was secured and served by Sheriff Hause before midnight, and two deputy sheriffs placed on guard at the new crossing. Employes of the Toledo and Monroe railroad are claiming that the state railroad crossing board has granted a rehearing and consented to a grade crossing on Elm avenue and are making preparations to commence work. The shore line people claim to have advices from Commissioner Osborn that application for a rehearing was denied. If the crossing is attempted more trouble will follow. A mammoth black walnut tree on the farm of E. P. Gaus in Williams county, Ohio, has just been sold for $4,000. Several lumber dealers have examined chips from this tree, and all have declared it to be the finest specimen of that kind of wood they ever saw. The tree was eight feet in diameter, forty feet above the stump, and extended seventy-three feat from the butt to the first limb. Bavaria has resumed relations with Greece for the first time since the Athenians drove out the late King Otto. As one result Prof. Furtwangler, director of the , Munich Glyptothek, will go to Aegina next summer to excavate the site where the Aeginetan statues of the Munich museum were found, in the hope of discovering evidence that may decide what is the relative position of the groups to each other. Budget Now Stand* at 83,315,543.94. So far the ways and means committee of the house hns reported out favorably a total of 83,215,543.94 in appropriation bills. Of this amount Sl,- 203,500 has been for thft educational institutions of the state, and 8341,800 for the state reformatories, or 8101,435 more for educational iustitutions than was granted by the 1899 legislature, and §S,?00 less for reformatories than i was granted by that legislature. - The j educational appropriations of the presjent session as agreed to by the house [are: University of Michigan, $440,000: jState Normal"; 8221.300; Central Normal, 8118,000; Northern Normal, 885,- 200; Agricultural coliege, 8133,000: Colj lege of Mines, S1U3.000. The reformatory appropriations are: School for Girls, 8140,275: Industrial School for Boys. 8179.500: Ionia House of Correction, 810,025; state prison, 812,000. Andrew Carnegie's last speech to his workmen at Homestead contained a passage well worth remembering. "Labor, capital and business ability," he said, "are the three legs of a threDlegged stool. Neither1 is first, neither is second, neither is third. There is no precedence, all being equally necessary." All efforts to make the stonl stand oh one leg or on two have been failures, but when it rests upon all three it is hard to upset. Jackson Man's Terrible Crime. David H. Creech, of Jackson, capitalist and 71 years old, fired four bullets into the head of his young wife, Mary J. Creech, who had recently obtained a decree of divorce. Creech is in jail charged with assault with intent to murder, and Mrs. Creech lies in a precarious condition at her home in that city. The crime is the immediate result of a supreme court decision, handed down on the Kith, which affirmed the decision of the circuit court which granted Mrs. Creech an absolute divorce with alimony and the custody of the children. Mrs. Creech is a second wife. She was housekeeper in the Creech family during the lifetime of the first wife and upon the lat- ! ter's death, some 15 years ugo, contin^ ued in that capacity. In expectation of an heir, the King and Queen of Italy have had brought to Rome the tortoiseshell and gold cradle which was ussd for King Victor Emmanuel when a baby. Thore is a very curious "family cradle" in the possession of the Errolls. It has a carved wooden serpent at one end and a dove at the other; the idea being that the child who uses the cradle will possess the wisdom of the serpent and the harmlessness of the dove! Soo Will fiot <iliint Concern. F. II. Clergue, of Sault Ste. Marie, paid Detroit a visit on- the 19th, and his visit had an important bearing j upon great business interests of I)e- • troit and Michigan. Contracts were < made by him looking to the location j at the Soo of a $50,000,000 steel and iron manufacturing company, and a project was put well under way for the establishing at Detroit of blast furnaces with a capacity of 1,00() tons of pig iron per clay, and employing 1,000 men. For eight crops—corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, potatoes and hay—covered by the reports to the department of agriculture, the farmers of the United States received almost 1200,000,000 more in 1900 than they obtained for the same products in 1899. Buckwheat and barley were the only crops in the list which showed a de- •crease in value, and the advances, in corn and hay especially, made this deficit seem slight. We quote the statistics mainly as a matter of record. The -contented smile un the American farmer's face is proof enough of itself that he is doing very well indeed. r \ The poet records that he shot an arrow into the air, but could not see where it fell to earth. Long afterward he found it in the heart of an oak. It is for protection against reckless use of firearms, possibly in the hands of other heedless poets, that the Adirondack guides have, recently appealed to the legislature. The modern smallbore rifle sends bullets far beyond the necessary hunting range, and frequently kills persons whom the gunner cannot see. A true aim, a steady arm, a square hit are in all the walks of life justly commended. But what about the so-called "spent" bullet, with it* lingering power to wound? Must not society a* well as law hold the sportsman responsible? Smallpox Still Increasing. The prediction of Secretary Baker, of the state health board, that smallpox would begin to abate about, the first of April has not been verified. From one to five outbreaks have been reported daily since the beginning of the month, and while the disease has been wiped out in numerous places it has continued to develop in others, and will probably continue to do so until the people recognize the disease as dangerous and take the proper steps to restrict i t TWTNOR-MteKrGAt<rMATTERS, Norway now has a bank. Carsonville has three saloons and all of the license holders are women. Additional rural free mail delivery has been ordered established at Ionia, May 15. The assessment rolls of Detroit for 1901-1902 calls for something over 8243,- 371,550. Mason's common council has raised the bonds of saloonkeepers from $5,000 to 80,000. The cornerstone of Menominee's new federal building was laid on the 17th, under Masonic auspices. Freezing weather and a heavy fall of snow was reported at many places in the state on the 18th. A large grain elevator at Battle Creek was destroyed by fire on the 17th, entailing a loss of 940,000. The building of the German-American sugar factory on the west side of the river at Bay City, which has been hanging fire for several weeks, is now assured. S t Johns citisens are raising 85,000 by popular subscription for the construction of a building for the Geriogton Department college, now located a t St. Louis, Mich. A frightful runaway accident occurred at Burlington village on the night of the 13th, as a result of which one woman was killed and several others seriously injured. Deputy Game Warden W. A. McGovem, of Tustin, captured 20 residents of Ioterlochen and vicinity while engaged in spearing bass. A wagonload of jacks and spears was confiscated, Grand Ledge is enjoying a boom. The owners of the Grand Ledge Chair Co. are building a large table factory which will be ready by July 1. It will give employment to a large number of workmen. Rev. A. K. Beem, of the First Universalist church, of Benton Harbor, announced on the 10th that on the 21st he will leave the pastorate of his church and will establish a church of his own, independent of any creed. Col. Russ, of Ypsilanti, who has been working on the consolidation of the flouring mills at Lapeer says t h a t the plan is now being successfully carried through. The new company, which will be capitalized at §25,000, will take over all three mills. " A t the recent special election the proposition to bond the city of Owosso for 850,000 for paving was defeated by a small majority. Owosso needs paving bad. Twenty-five interested citizens petitioned for another special election, and it will be held May 1. Chas. Van Zant. Norman Thomas Bisbing and Wm. Westbrook, the three Farmington desperadoes, have changed their plea of not guilty to guilty of the charge of assault with the intent to murder. Bail was fixed at $2,500, and they will be sentenced on the 15th. Eighteen opinions were filed by the supreme court on the 10th, but, contrary to expectations, no opinion was tiled in the Moreland (Detroit) case. It is understood that the court is not satisfied with the arguments already presented and has ordered a rehearing. Last fall about 8500 worth of money and jewelry belonging to Mrs. Martin Meredith of Saginaw, mysteriously disappeared. On the 15th boys playing in the yard of the old Meredith residence found the valuables in an old bustle they were using as a football. Mrs. Meredith now lives in Detroit. The supreme court has affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case of the creditors of the late Robert M. Steel, of St. Johns, against ex-State Treasurer Goerge A. Steel, who was a preferred creditor of his father's estate. The decision fully sustains the transactions of the ex-treasurer in the settlement of his father's affairs. M. A. Kniftin, a well-known citizen and business man of St. Johns, who owns a farm three miles east of that village, while sinking a well at the depth of 112 feet, found a five-foot vein of superior coal. This find is 12 feet below a table rock. It is believed it j will prove a very profitable find, not [ only for Mr. Knitlin, but for St. Johns as a community. The Fere Marquette Railroad Company has commenced work on a tine large two-story hotel which they will erect between the tracks south of the p.<issonger depot at Baldwin, The building will be 24xH0 feet and 23 feet higa to the roof. The structure will be a fine piece or* architecture when completed, modern, convenient and elegant in furnishing and finishing. The body of a partially-developed child was found floating down the river at Marine City on the Kith in a.cigar box. It was clothed in a small nighty and the limbs were doubled up to make it fit in the box. The marshal has been investigating the case, but up to the present has not been able to find any trace of whom the mother may be, or who placed it in the river. The J. S. Stearns' manufacturing plant, of Ludington, has announced to employes of the works, including several hundred men with homes and families located in different parts of the city, that prizes of from $5 to 810 each will be offered by the firm to employes keeping their homes in best repair and yards' in most attractive condition during the summer season.

Santiago Iglesias, a representative of the Federation of Labor in Porto Rico, who came to this counti'y recently with a petition signed by 0,000 Porto Ricans, praying for relief from the distressing conditions alleged to exist on the island, presented the petition to the President on the 15th. * The following dispatch was received from Gen. MacArthur on the 17th: "Col. Abah, insurgent leader Marinduque, nine officers, 70 soldiers, 248 small arms, surrendered (Maj.) Frederick A. Smith, April 15, oathed with impressive ceremony, released.

This will oust lots of squatters. Uov. Bliss has not yet signed the Grand Rapids snap legislation bill, and there is a suspicion that the chi^f executive fears that the passage of such measures may have a serious effect on his administration. In the matter of signing bills the governor is regarded as being in the hands of his friends, but the rush tactics forced upon him have put him in a hole two or three times. Gov. Bliss is spending his time these days in interviewing seuators and representatives and trying to impress them * with the necessity of holding down appropriations so that economical administration may result, but he is having poor success. The upper peninsula delegation is not running out of its way to do him any favors after the Newett affair, and they are bent on getting all they can in t h e way of appropriations. a NOW FOR MEDICATED EGOS. Cfohoaaded Possibilities That Are Op*atag Up to Thmtm»af. t There it scarcely any" branch ia which, medicine has not ofranccd within, the last t w e n t r years, but in no one branch has mote improvement bees shown than in, the compounding and putting together of drugs. *No> more is ths unwilling patient made t o iwallow large doses of nauseating medietas, fer-BUg&F coated pills, *eap*i and wafers have come into use and patients can now take the most vlletastlng medicines without any discomfort. Now comes along a,Frenchman with a still more ingenious plan which opens up to pharmacy unbounded possibilities of going still further ahead. On account of the difficulty of assimilating iron as a medicine, a French druggist has sought to introduce it in a digestible way by what h e terms ferruginous eggs. Hens can digest iron easily, while rendering it back through the albumen of their eggs In a form which is easily digested by the weaker stomachs of mankind. A salt of iron Is given t o the hens with grains of wheat. A dozen of these medicated grains of wheat a day makes the hens after three or four days lay eggs which are very rich in iron already digested. The Frenchman is experimenting further with other drugs, and it is not without tho bounds of possibility tthat we shall shortly ho able to take all our medicine ia tho form of eggs. HUSBAND AND WIPE. A Veteran of the Civil War TelU mm Interesting Story. EFFINGHAM, 111., April 22. (Special).— Uriah S. Andrick is now 67 years of age. Mr. 'Andrick served through the whole of the Civil War. He was wounded, three times by ball, and twice by bayonet. When he entered the service of his country in 1S61, he was ha"e and hearty, and weighed 198 pounds. Since the close of the War however, Mr. Andrick has had very bad health. For fifteen years, he never lay down in bed for over an hour at a time. Ha had acute Kidney Trouble, which grew into Bright's Disease. His heart a*so, troubled him very much. On Oct. 18th, 1900. he was weighed, and weighed only 102 pounds, being but a shadow of his former self. He commenced using Dodd's Kidney Pills on the 26th of last December, and en Feb. 20th was again weighed, and weighed 146 pounds. He says: "I have spent hundreds of dollars and received no benefit, until on the 2Gth of December last, I purchased one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I am cured, and I am free from any pain. My heart's action is completely restored. I have not the slightest trace of the Bright's Disease, and I catt sleep well all night. I was considered a hopeless case by everybody, but today I am a well man, thanks to D^du's Kidney Pills. "For the last sixteen years my wife has been in misery with bearing down pains, pain3 in the lower part" of. the abdomen and other serious ailments. When she saw what Dodd's Kidney Pills were doing for me she commenced to use them. She now fee'.s like another woman, her pains hnve all disappeared and her general health is better than it has been for years. , "She is so taken up with Dodd's Kidney Pills*and what they hav? d;;nn for us that she has gone to Mr. CovnwaP's Drug Store and bought th?m for some of her'friends for fear that if they went themselves they might mako a mistake and get something else." There is something very convincing in the honest simple story of this old veteran and his wife. Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only Remedy that eyer cured Bright's Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy. They never fail. "Lobster Faee" I* Not Slanderou*. The slander suit of Foster against Foster was heard yesterday afternoon before Justice William T. Connor, says the New London Telegraph. The suit is for $100 damages. In the complaint it is alleged that the defendant called the plaintiff a "lobster and a lobster face." The plaintiff was under the impression that lobster face was intended as a slur on her character, "and from the said words she suffered great anguish of mind and humiliation." A demurrer to the complaint was entered by the defendant that even if the allegation was true, there was no ground or basis for the claim that the expression "lobster face" carried with it any derogation of character. The demurrer was sustained by Justice Connor, and the case will probably end here. find an IrUh Wife. The death of Baron Satge de Thorent at the age of 97 has removed from'the roll of the Lesion of Honor its oldest member. After having served for many years in the French army he went to reside In Ireland and married an Irish wife, by whom he had a large family. One of his sons served in the British army, but the baron himself spent the latter part of his life upon a pictuesqtre estate In the eastern Pyrenees. He was a perfect type of the Frenchman of the old school. ' & • tt.w*+. -m**, •>. . ^ ^ ^ . . ^ , .

"You will And her the greatest coward of u s all," she observed. "But if you really want t o hear the horrible Bound, open the door." He dtd s o . Every one was silent: and through the hall came plainly enough t h e rocking of t h e cradle and the low sound of the mother's song. Mr. Crowley stood for a moment at the door; then he shut it, and came back td the fireside looking just a little pale. "I -wonder if it is a hoax," he observed, after a short pause. "That can hardly be. For we all , saw t h e room the first night we came, and there was no one there, though the cradle rocked all the time. Is it not horrible to have to live in the house-with it?" "Indeed it is;>and I question if it i? right for you to do so. You must make my uncle go as soon as you can." "I am sure that it is easier said than done," sighed Mrs. Cowley. "I know what I would do," observed Marjorie. "What, my love?" "Frighten him." "But the cradle has failed to do t h a t " "Then I would give him something worse than a cradle. If hearing things would not scare him, I should be inclined t o try what seeing things would do." Rose clasped her hands delightedly. "I have it, Cousin Charles. If you and Marjorie will help me, we can manage it easily." "How?" "You must be ghosts." "What nonsense you do talk, Rose!" said Catharine. "It i9 not nonsense. If you or f undertake to play the part, papa would see through it at once, because he would miss us. But he knows nothing of Charles' return, and he has never seen Marjorie. They would both make capital ghosts." "There is something: in it," observe! Mr. Cowley. "And if you will leave it t o us we will make my uncle very willing to go. But you must stow us out of sight before he comes." "The turret-chamber is ready, and a fire is lit there," said Mrs. Cowley. "But that is the room said to bo haunted." "Oh, never mind! But what knock is that?" "Good gracious! It is Mr, Cowley. Run, Rose! get your cousins up into the room before we let him in. Here take the cloak or he will be sure to see it. We will send you up some supper, Charles. Rose shall come; but for mercy's sake, be quick how!" With much suppressed merriment and laughter, the two ghosts were got out of the way, and were safe in the turret-room long before Mrs. Macarthy had let in her master, and was fuming over what he termed her "stupid Irish delay." CHAPTER X. Mrs. Cowley looked exceedingly guilty when her lord and master entered; but he, being full of his own business, did not observe it. He laid aside h i s wrappings, called for hot water and t h e spirit case, and a-at down by the fire with an air of a man who had earned his repose and meant thoroughly to enjoy it. "Have you been alarmed in any way since I went, Mrs. C ? " he asked when his toddy was thoroughly mixed. "No, my dear," she replied briskly; which was a gross fib, as we know-, because the unexpected arrival of her nephew and his wife had nearly sent her into a fit of hysterics. But that was only one of the white lies that are perfectly allowable, and even praiseworthy, when the head of the household is in question. If British matrons hesitated long over a "taradiddle," there would be little peace, I fear, in many a British home. "Not alarmed, eh!" said Mr. Cowley, sipping at his glass. "Well, I'm glad you are getting so brave. I have been to see the agent, and there is no reason why we should not rent the house for another year. Mr. Vernon will not want it, and the agent evidently looks upon it as one of the best speculations he ever made." "Another year! Mercy preserve us!" said Mrs. Cowley, holding up her hands in horror. "And why not, pray?" was the sharp reply. "If we go sooner we shall have done no good. People will think wo are frightened away, after all; whereas if w e stay for fifteen or sixteen months they cannot have the face to hint at such a thing." Mrs. Cowley groaned. "Besides, I have been talking with the agent about, the drains, and h e hai given me leave to have them set to rights. A capital dodge that, isn't it, my dear?" , Mrs. Cowley only sighed. "Don't you see? While the men a n at.work, I'll make them take up the floor of that pantry. Depend on it, there is nothing there but rats." "Can rats rock a cradle, Mr Cowley?" asked his better half/severely. "I dare say they could if they tried." "And sing?" "There are plenty of singing mice in the world; perhaps ours belongs to that breed, my dear. However, what I mean to say is this; That the ho,us<3 being pld, is in all probability swarming with the brutes; and that, in some of their antics in the pantry, they contrive to imitate the rocking of a cradle and t o make a sound which will pass muster as a human voice. So I'll have the floor up, and we'll put a stop to their fun at once." "It was a human voice!" said Mrs. Cowley, indignantly. "The idea of trying to explain it in that way! 1 never heard of anything so absurd in all my life! Did the agent offer you any refreshment, my dear?" Mr. Cowley wagged his head good humoredly. "I see what you are driving at; but I was never more sober in my life, Mrs. C. And we'll have the floor up tomorrow, and you shall see if, during the rest of the year, we hear anything more of the cradle." Mrs. Cowley held her peace. Experience had taught her that argument in a case like this would be of no use. But if in her heart she had harbored any little sweet scruple as to the propriety of the plan by which the young people intended to dislodge her lord and master from the strange home he had chosen, it vanished from that hour <ind she stood as deeply committed to the ghost scheme as any one amon? them all. "Where is Rose?" asked Mr. Cowley, looking up suddenly. Mrs. Cowley blushed up to the eyeu. "She—she is upstairs, I think. Do you want her?" "Yes; I have brought her a book. As she is so very fond of ghost stories I bought her the most horrible thing I could find in that way, It will serve to pass away her evenings very pleasantly this winter." At that moment Rose entered, looking peculiarly well satisfied with herself, and everything in general. "A book for me, papa? Now that i.s kind." Mr. Cowley grinned to himself over his toddy. "You'll be charmed with it. There is a picture on the first page, enough to turn any one's hair white." "I'll look at it directly," said Rose, laying it down upon the table. "But papa, how could you leave us so long alone this evening? That cradle has been rocking so dreadfully all the time!" "Rats, my dear. Nothing in the world but rats." "I wonder what you would do if you saw a ghost, papa—a real ghost!" "What I told you once before—I would pinch his nose with the tongs." "I should like to s e t you tried!" "Pah! It is all nonsense, my dear. Ghosts are an exploded theory. For my part, I have so little faith in them that I would not in the least mind staying here in the old house by myself all night long."* As he spoke the hall clock struck twelve, and Rose gave her mother a peculiar glance. "Oh, how dreadful! This is just tho time when ghosts go their rounds. Do let us all go to bed or we shall be sure to see one." "Yes, let us g o to bed at once," said Mrs. Cowley, rising from her chair. As a matter of course, their end was gained, for Mr. Cowley was seized with , a fit of obstinacy upon the spot. They knew well that nothing would induce him to stir from the spot till he had finished his gin and water and smoked his cigar. "Go to bed, all of you," he said benignantly. "I'm not afraid to stop here by myself, and I shall come up before you are fairly asleep." Mrs. Cowley and her two daughters left the room. T h e bright face of Rose w a s sparkling with mischief and laughter; and the instant the door shut behind her she caught her mother's hand and whispered joyously, "Mamma, you need be under no concern. He will not want to stop here long after tonight. You never s a w two such horrible objects as Charle3 and Marjorie have made of themsleves with my help and Mrs. Macarthy's. Come and see them before you go into hour own room t o wait for him. Mrs. Cowley and Catharine followed her Into the turret chamber. Though they had been warned to expect a ghastly sight, neither of them couM help*staring and well-nigh crying out when they saw t h e figures that stood in t h e center of t h e room. One was a nun dressed in the flowing blaok robes ot a Sister ot Mercy, with her hands bound tightly together, and clasped above her breast Her face was white a3 death—and from the right temple a deep crimson strain ran down toward the chin. The contrast between the pallor of her face and the bright blood stain were ghastly in the extreme. On her left hand stood a stalwart black man, clad in flowing robes of the purest white. Mrs. Cowley's best dressing gown ~~Bad~ ~been~ pressed into this service, and about hta swarthy brow was folded a turban, consisting of several yards of India muslin, on which she set great store. In his hands he held a rusted dagger, whieh Rose had hunted up in her exploring tours through the house. His height seemed almost terrific, a circumstance soon explained when she showed the false soles and heels he had managed to affix to his boots. His air stern and menacing; and, altogether the pair were by no means the most pleasant visitants that could be imagined to the gentleman sitting alone over his toddy in a haunted house. "Shall we do, aunt?" exclaimed Mr. Cowley, as she entered. "Do? You are perfectly dreadful! Who dressed you like that?" "Rose." "And where on earth could she have got such dreadful ideas from? You never saw a ghost, child?" "No, mamma; but I have read about them often enough; and papa says book knowledge is not of the slighest use to us, unless we can apply it to real life. I hope he_will be pleased with my application tonight." "Ycm are a saucy girl, Rose," said her mother, still eyeing the apparitions with some apprehension. "I wonder, now, what he will say to you? If it was me, I should go into a fit the moment you opened the door." "My uncle is made of sterner stuff. Still, I hope we shall give him a start. One don't want to take all this trouble in dressing for nothing," "Shall you go down to him, or let him meet you on the stairs?" asked Catbarine. "Oh, we will go down; we shall be seen to much more advantage In a room." "Besides, he has threatened to pinch your nose with the tongs, and he cannot do it if he is on the staircase when he sees you," added Rose. "That is a consideration," replied Mr. Cowley. "Now, will you ladies betake yourselves to bed? It is nearly half-past twelve—the very hour when two orthodox ghosts would be most likely to set out upon their travels. Good-night, aunt; we will send him up to you in a very short space of time." The ladie3 retreated. Mrs. Cowley, in order that she might not be suspected of any complicity in the plot, if by any means It should be discovered, undressed and retired to bed as usual. But Rose and Catharine sat down beside their chamber door and waited the result of their operations with great impatience. Meanwhile, Mr. Cowley, sitting over his cigar below, little dreamed how his nearest and dearest were conspiring ruthlessly against his peace or mind. The ghostly cradle was silent at last; his cigar was a fine one, and hi3 toddy^was grateful to the taste. Sitting here, monarch of all he fcurveyed, he thought over the events of his visit to the agent, and the promis-e which he had drawn from him about the drains. "A clever dodge that!" he mused approvingly to himself. "Nothing can be easier than to set the men at work among the pipes in the cellar, and to take them on till they are under the pantry, and be hanged to it! I'll stop that noise or my name isn't Cowley! People shall not have it to say that after laughing at every one else for the belief in ghosts, I went to get frightened at one myself! Ghosts, indeed! Suppose there actually is one about the premises; of tourse, the poor thing cannot rest in his grave till something he's got or omitted to do on earth, has been done for him. Very well! What could be easier than to say to the troubled spirt, 'Make yourself quite easy; I will attend to it at once! Don't stay out of your grave a moment longer, for fear that you should take cold, my dear sir?' Of course, any sensible ghost, being addressed in such a sensible manner, would Immediately return to his grave and stay there. That is what I call common sense kind of dealing with the citizens of another world. They would appreciate it—I am sure they would—Oh, Lord, what's that?" He might as well ask the question; for his flow of self-congratulation was suddenly checked by a low, hollow groan outside the door. He listened intently. The groan came again, but louder than before. "There is a noise!—I'm not dreaming!" he mused, while his hair stood on his head "like quills upon the fretful porcupine," "What on earth can it be? Mrs. Macarthy walking in her sleep, I suppose!" he said, with trembling lips, and a face white with the fear he was ashamed of, which h e could not control. The door swung open—a gigantic black man entered, leading by the hand a bleeding nun. \. x .. (To be continued.} C H I N A WAR NEWS. A dispatch from Pekin, dated t h e I8tb, says that Count von Waldersee escaped from the burning palace of the empress, w iich was destroyed b y fire on the 17th, through a window with great difficulty.

In the discussion of Chinese idemcities, which is going on at Pekin, and also at the various foreign capitals, i t has been developed that the French government is desirous of looking after not only those claims of a distinctly oational character, relating to France and French subjects, but also the extensive class of claims of Catholic institutions and missionaries. Chinese rebels have again attacked the Manchurian railway, and have destroyed 150 versts of the line, removed the rails and broken up the rolling stock. Moreover, they have killed nearly a whole detachment of railway guards. Troops have been sent from Amur province t o the scene of attack.

Advices from Sian Fu assert that the court is preparing to go to Hsian-Yang, in the province of Hu-Pei. The permanent officials of the six boards are described as having quietly left Pekin for Sian-Fu in anticipation of the selection of a new capital. The Korean government, according to advices just received from Seoul, the capital of Korea, has decided to borrow from France 5,000,000 yen, for the purpose of constructing the northern railway from Seoul to Wiku. The Tartar general at Feng-Tien, Manchuria, has borrowed of the Russians, on the security of the land and poll taxes, the sum of 400,000 taels, to be applied in forming a force of military police.

A big scandal is alleged to have taken place in the British war office. Two members of the governmental committee appointed a year ago to determine the value of various explosives have taken out patents in their own names. After all that has been said about ex-Presideut Kruger's visit to the U. S. it is now thought he will not come here at all. His poor health is attributed the cause for his change of mind.

Captain Pitch, " I was appointed, chief Quartermaster of t h e signal corps of t h e department of the Cumberland, stationed a t Chattanooga. On taking account of the quartermaster's stores I found that I w a s in need \ of some light wagons to be used in the j mountainous country, and t h e only way to get them w a s to go to Nash-' ville and have them made, so 1 went to Nashville and had live light w a g o n s : made by the q u a r t e r m a s t e r ' s depart-, meut.

Not long after that 1 got an order to be ready to march, and on going out to inspect my outfit 1 found; that t h e mules had eaten the spokes of I the wheels nearly off, so that the wag-1 ons were ready to fall down of their j own accord. As 1 could not use them [ I had no recourse but to drop them ' from my returns, and. hoing obliged tc ; assign a reason for so dropping them, 1 j gave the true one—viz. 'Eaten by j mules.'

Thereupon I dropped, the subject, but my first report w a s ; correct." "At Chickamauga," said t h e major,: "Longstreet's men r a n over o u r head- j quarters teams.

(Special Letter.) The name of Lady Ulrica Duncombe J baa appeared much in print of late. Lady Ulrica ia one of the falreat wom- &a in the United Kingdom and comes of a family, proud as Lucifer, whose women have been noted for their beauty. • Her three sisters were social queens and all married well. One was the Duchess of Lelnster, wife of the celebrated Irish peer, who was so devoted to her husband that when he died she shortly followed him to the grave with a broken heart. Another Is Lady Helen Vincent and the third ^ ta the wife,of Sir Richard Graham of Netherby. Beauty was an inheritance of these girls. Their ancestors were handsome, and one, their great-grandmother. Lady Charlotte Duncombe, was one of the celebrated beauties of her day, whoso fine features have been preserved in paintings. She was a woman of exquisite personal charms and great culture. Her husband, after representing Yorkshire in Parliament, was created Earl of Fevershau. The family has great wealth as well as beauty, and naturally is saturated with orido. All the sisters of Lady Ulrica married young, but she seemed hard to Buit. First-class suitors were -many, but Lady Ulrica resisted them all. She spent much of hef time with the Princess of Wales. Some years ago a fad for missionary work among London's poor broke out in society. At that time Rev. Dr. Arthur Wlnnington-Ingrara, who has recently been created - '^bishop of London, was preaching in the slums and seeling to improve the condition of the poor. Society women became interested in him. Among those who went to his assistance was Lady Ulrica. She threw herself heart and soul into the work and went with Ingram to visit the desolate and oppressed. With this union of sympathy for the lowly came a union of their affections. They became engaged. The girl who had resisted men of blood yielded to the missionary worker of the slums. Her proud father flew into a rage when he heard of the match. An earl's daughter marry this churchman who demeaned himself in the eyes of the aristocracy by mingling with the poor? Absurd. Her sisters pleaded with Ulrica. The Princess of Wales, who knew the high character of Dr. Ingram, spoke in his favor, but all in vain. The Duncombes would not give their consent to a marriage and the match was off. Then ^Ulrica gave up LADY CHARLOTTE DUNCOMBE. her charitabe work and plunged into society. Suitors of blue blood again sought her. Various rumors of en- ^gagementa have been spread about, but the fair Ulrica has not yet ordered her trousseau. Meanwhile Dr. Ingram kept up his work in the slums, gradually gained favor among the blue bloods and was a favorite of the Prince of Wales. Now that, as King of England, he has made him his spiritual adviser, the lowly churchman has become a great figure in social circles. His old love story is revived. The questions are being asked, 'Will the bishop propose again to Ulrica? Will she accept him?" In aU probability, it Is said, he will pro* pose and she will accept. The O'teen was said to have favored the match, because she knew that while the courtship of Dr. Ingram was ended abruptly, their love endures. The old earl can no longer be obstinate and the story will probably end as fond lova LV stories should. The old earl will be * on hand to say, "Bless you, my chlfc dren." The man who has the most "help around the house," is the most aristocratic. L E O I S L A T VB GOSSIP. Gov. Bliss on the dftth braved the ire of the Wayne delegation by vetoing liep. Martlndale's bill increasing the compensation of election inspectors, clerks and gate keepers in Sprlngwells. The compensation of these officials is fixed by a general law, except where there is a special charter provision, so Martindale had the salaries for Spring- TFBIIK rained to the schedule paid in SPRING CATARRH MAKES PEOPLE WEAK AND NERVOUS Detroit In his message the governor stated that this was carrying local legislation too far, and expresse i the opinion that as a general proposition local measures should have no standing where general laws can apply. He Intimated that the passage of this act would be in the nature of a precedent for other townships to try the same thing, and pointed out that if there was any necessity for increasing the salaries of election officials it would be better to have the matter looked into and the general law amended. The governor also vetoed the bill amending the act relative to steam engines or vehicles which are operated upon the highvyays. When first introduced the measure provided that such vehicles should carry red rights and planks, and come to a full stop when passing any team. It included steam automobiles, and even as passed these luxuries were not specifically exempted, which is the real reason for the chief executive making use of his veto power. The house pnssed the following bills on the 26th: Changing time for electing members of the school board in Bay City from July to August; disor; ganizing fractional school district in the township of St Charles and attaching same to Chesaning, Saginaw county; repealing sections 5 and 6 of the act creating the 37th judicial circuit relative to the election of circuit judge, the time fixed in the act connecting with the general law; creating voting district in the township of Rockland, Ontonagon county; appropriation for Eastern Michigan, $6,000, to improve the water supply; appropriation for Michigan Pioneer and His* torical society, $4,000; to prevent impurities being mixed with black pepper. Speaker Carton has given up figuring on the date of final adjournment and now says that it will not be fixed until something is heard from the conference committee on the taxation bill. The latter meets on the 30th and will have all the week to agree or agree to disagree. Thousands of Fair Womu i t * Never Without Perwia, I k —tlathmat Catarrh BBIBB^ — Gen.

BERTHA KOCKLER, 177 Guinett street, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "Peruna and Manalin have done me very great service, and I recommend them with pleasure to all who suffer with nervous catarrh of the stomach as I dm. Should such a disease ever attack me again I shall immediately take Peruna. I now feel very well and have a good appetite all the time. I have gained in weight. I recommended Peruna to an acquaintance of ours and he is making remarkable progress. I looked so badly for a time before I began your medicine, that now when I meet some of my friends they say: 'I was very much worried about you, but now you are looking so well.' I shall always keep Peruna and Manalin in the house as family medicines." —Mrs. Bertha Kockler.

Wetzel, 21 Sooth 17th street, Terre Hante, Ind., writes: "Peruna is the greatest medicine on earth. I feel well and that tired feeling is all gone. When I began to take your medicine I tould not smell nor hear a church bell ring. Now I ean smell and hear. When I began your treatment my head was terrible, all sorts of buzzing, chirping and loud noises. Three months ago I dragged around like a snail; now I can walk a> briskly as ever. I am going to go ana see the doctor that said I was not long for this world, and tell him that Peruna cured me."—Mrs. Al. Wetzel. If all the tired women and all tJhe nervous women, and all the womqn that needed a tonic would read ana heed the words of these three fair ladles who have spoken right to file point, how many invalids would prevented and how many wretch lives be made happy. Peruna restores health ia way. \ Peruna puts right all the mucous membranes of the body, and in thia. way restores the functions of every organ. If It is the stomach that is oat of order, and the digestion impaired, Peruna quickly makes things right by restoring the mucous membrane of the stomach. If the nerves tingle, if the brain i s tired, if the strength is flagging and the circulation ot blood weakened by flabby mucous membranes of the digestive organs, Peruna reaches the spot at once by giving to these membranes the vitality and activity which belongs to them. The pelvic organs are also UneA with mucous membrane which In the female sex is especially liable to derangements. Peruna is an absolute* specific in these cases. The women everywhere are praising i t No otter remedy has ever received such unqualified praise from such a multitude of women. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use Of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartm giving a full statement of your and he will be pleased to give yon valuable advice gratis.

' L M k l v f t W i t h o u t S e e t n c .Perhaps you a r e au exception to t h e rule, b u t If you a r e not you.have probably on many occasions, just a l t e r lookfag at your watch, been forced to acknowledge to a friend who asked you t h e i r m e t h a t ym\ did net km>w what U was. Yet you undoubtedly took your timepiece out of your pocket, looked at its face a n d carefully replaced It In your pocket, showing a logical sequence of thought a n d a. well .detined object, which did not. however, result" in leaving a sufficiently distinct Impression on your mind to satisfy your friend's curiosity as to t h e hour of the day. T h e motion was not a n Involuntary oue, like that of the boy who cannot too often admire hi*first chronometer, n o r yet habitual, for few persons are merely In t h e habit of taking out their watches. One does so only for a specific purpose. Now, how may this seeming contradiction be accounted for? Perhaps the reason is that not once in ten times does a m a n look at his watch to see what t h e actual time Is, but rather to learn whether he still has time to accomplish some purpose. l i e may want to keep an appointment a t a certain time or to be sure not to miss a boat or train. When he takes out his watch, therefore, he instinctively looks for the h a n d s in t h e position called for by that particular moment, a n d when he sees t h a t they have not yet reached that point h e returns t h e watch to Its resting place, withidiis mind relieved. The actual position of the hands really plays no p a r t at all in the operation, a n d so when t h e time is asked of him h e Is unable to reply. In other words, he accomplishes the paradoxical feat of Intently looking at a thing without really seeing it. S l o p t l i e Coug-li m i t t \ v o ; K > «>fr t h e < «»U1.

This publisher explained this anomalous condition a s follows: " W h e n everybody is prosperous, there is no very great demand for our publications. People a r e happy, and they do not go to church to a n y great extent. Preachers will tell you that Church attendanc e is never so good In prosperous times as it is in periods of hnancial str.iits. "Let u p^.nie come on, however. At first our business feels it a s keenly a s any other line. People suddenly cease buying , every thing except w h a t they are obliged to have. As times fail to Improve, people take m o r e . t o going to church.' Attendance increases very perceptibly. In a few weeks we can tell it in. o\ur business. There Is a grea.tly increased demand for devotional books of all kinds. T h e busi ness increases.'and at t h e very height of t h e linaneial troubles w e do t h e largest business.

In the s a m e way "traiter de f a t " means to call a man a fop a n d "traiter en roi" to treat him like a king.

Hillsdale, III., April 29th.—Much interest has been aroused hero o v e r th* case of William Marks, w h o h a s been in a dying condition for several months with an apparently incurably Kidney Disease. The leading physicians of this plac? had pronounced his case a . hopeless one, and others from Port Byron, Geneseo, and Davenport, la., had attended him, and in a consultation decided that ho could not live. In desperation, his nephew inquired of Mr L, F. Giles, a local druggist, as to a last resort. Mr. Giles suggested 'Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which had just been introduced here. The results were marvelous. Mr. Marks immediately began to improve, t h e railroad e o m m i t t e a , only t w o or three miner a m e n d m e n t s being t a c k e d on. In its essential feature it is a railroad measure, a s the entire fight was made on the proposition of w h e t h e r the railroads should be assessed by the s t a t e tax commissioners, w h o assess all other property in the state, or w h e t h e r a separate board s h o u l d be provided, as t h e bill called for. Senator Nichols made a g a l l a n t fight to have all property in the s t a t e assessed by one board and the a r g u m e n t s he put forth were left u n a n s w e r e d by t h e majority. But i t w a s a case of the railroads h a v i n g t h e votes and t h e y won easily at the end. The f o l l o w i n g bills were passed by the senate on the -25th: To d e t a c h Calhoun c o u n t y from the 5th judicial circuit and make it the :>7th circuit; to amend the justice court act for Detroit: to p r o h i b i t fishing in Mill lake, Bloomingdale t o w n s h i p , Van liuren county; .fish appropriation. 977,000; for a separate v o t i n g precinct in Rockland t o w n s h i p , Onton-igon county; relative to the i n v e s t m e n t of t h e capital of insurance companies; for uniform syst e m s of a c c o u n t i n g by c o u n t y and city officers; to amend the general election law to provide separate ballots for eonbe up and about, completely cured. His cure Is the talk of the neighborhood, and is considered n o t h i n g abort of a miracle. There appears to be no doubt that this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills, will cure any case of Kidney Disease, for the more malignant forms, such a s Bright's Disease, Diabetes, and Dropsy, yield readily to Its remarkable influence. These forms of Chronic K d - ney Disease have hitherto been considered Incurable, and have baffled all medical skill, and yet, this n e w remedy has cured every single case In which it has been used, in this neighborhood. T h e doctors t h e m s e l v e s are amazed at t h e wonderful work Dodd's Kidney Pills are accomplishing In Rock Island County.

And Mrs. Macarthy-- Mr. Cowley's jaw dropped.

With his heart beating almost to suffocation, he watched their movements. He longed to speak, but the words d!ed upon his lips, and his throat felt parched and hot. S!ow!y they advanced towards his chair—the nun's sad eyes fixed silently on his facR—the outstretched hand of the black man pointing towards his h e a r t He bore it manfully for a moment; but nearer, still nearer, they came— the hand almost touched his shoulder: It was too much for poor flesh and blood to bear. He pave a sort of stifled cry—threw himself back In his chair—evaded i\w shadowy grasp, and dashed headlong from the room. Up the dark stairs he flew, and finding his own door, rather by instinct than by sight, he blundered In, upsetting two chairs, and startling Mrs. Cowley from what was apparently her first and sweetest nap. "What Is the matter, my dear?" she said, sitting up In bed and rubbing her eyes. "Have you hurt yaurself?" "Oh, don't talk to me!" groaned Mr. Cowley. "Not one ghost have I seen, but two; and we'll get out of this infernal place tomorrow!" Rose and Catharine hearing this in their own bedroom, had a hearty lainli and then went after the two ghosU. who were putting out the candle-s down below, and making themselves in many ways extremely useful. Before the clock struck oie, all V.\e. house was still—each inmate wrapped iu a sound and peaceful sleep, including Mr. Cowley, who had recovered a little from his fri?ht, and was troubled by no black man or murdered nun In his dreams. CHAPTER XI. From that fatal evening a new l'fe began for Mr. Cowley. He was no longer "monarch of all he surveyed," for in every darkened room, in every obscure corner of the haunted house, lurked something unseen and unheirl by others, but full of mysterious life and motion for him. If a mouse squeaked behind the w~iiscot, it wouli send him scurrying along the passage at the rate of ten miles an hour; if a door shut suddenly it made h'm tremble and turn pale; if a light shons in a window, if a board creaked unexpectedly beneath his feet, he was apt to start, and exclaim, "Lord, bless me!" in a tone that did Mrs. Cowlev's very heart good, in one word, the worthy banker, from a snug goodtempered denizen of Mecklenburgh Square, had become transformed into that stranirest of animals, a haunted man! His sleep was no longer peaceful, for he W M pernetually d-ead'n? a ghostly visit; while Mrs Cowl ^y sno~pd placid!* and nrovokin^ly at his sirte. His coffee lost its relish; lfs tea its flavor, and his nithtly glass of Holland and water was taken more to screw hij conratre up to t^e sticking poi"t r n b ^ r than for an actual pleasure it e v e to him In thn peculiar and unwonted state of his mind. H e was horribly fri^hte^d. He i company. He did hated that house "with shivering ha- \ sclitude, however tred; he told himself that if he saw another actual apparition there something dreadful w^uid happen t^ him; ho would have a fit—an apoplectic one, very possibly—or perhaps a s f o k s of palsy, which would leave him with his face awry! Tt was a horrible thought; but he kent it rmnfully to himself. He would have suffered those plow tortures of agon'zed fear a hundred times over r?ther than own to the wife of his bcfnra t>^t he had errrd in selectin* st:eh a pine* for his residence. He mi»M hnvo said as much to some ercntlernan Mend, if o^e had ehnnced t ) como in h'a way; but his w'fp—nevpr! That was a conco<\*ion too great by f \v for the worthy E^UsVmnn to make. No. the husband, like the king, could do vr> w o « u . and hp was det°rmin»d to lt«*^M th*»t r'fWf'no t^ the last gasp In his own famTy circle! Do you think that sime Circle, meanwhile, was unaware of the 3trugg't— unconscious of his fear? Not a bit of it! Mrs. Cowley, as she awoke each morning from a refreshing s'esp and saw him lying pale and uneasy upon his pillow, sml'ed grimly to herself and wondered how long he would take to como to his senses again. His daughter*, too. were rejoicing in the pangs their own mischievous arts had caused, even when they asked after "poor papa's headache" In such mellifluous tones each morning at the an undertaker'3. The whole house was in league against him, and the poor wretch knew it not. Yet he stood it out manfuUy; and there seemed some danger that between his uneasiness and his obstinacy he would grow seriously ill. Besides, Christmas was fast approaching and the girls wanted to dance the New Year in and the Old Year out, at their own house in Mecklenburgh Square. What was to be done with the banker' to make him strike his coljrs, desert his ship and own himself soundly beaten? It was Rose who formed a fresh plan, which she thought might be success ful. She proposed it that evening when the conspirators met, as usual in the turret chamber, to harsh new plots against the peace cf the mmter of the house. But at first, Mrs. Cowley had somewhat to say. *• "I'm afraid we shall have to give it up as a bad job," she remarked, shaking her head doleful iy. "Why, mamma?" asked Catharine. "Your father will never own he is afraid, my dear; and I can see that we are killing him by inches. He is getting so thin; and, really he does not eat enough to keep a sparrow alive. If we should worry him into a fever or a consumption, I should never forgive myself." ^ "No fear of that, aunt, while his obstinacy lasts," replied her nephew, cheerfully. "But I wish to goodnesi he would get frightened and give us a chance of seeing a little more of this round world than we can expect to see while we are cooped up here. For my part, I feel as if I was a kind of iron mask. You ought to make me a handsome present for undergoing th s imprisonment, aunt." "So I will, my c.^ar, if it ever comes to an end." "There's the worst of it." "I wonder if he suspects," said Marjorie. "My love, how should he?" "True! If he was a woman, now, I should feel sure that he had discovered our secret. Being a man, I suppose there is not much fear." "Well," said Rose, complacently, "I think I can set you all free." "How?" "By inventing a new ghost, which I shall patent." They all laughed. "You see he cares little for the cradle now. In fact, I think we are a1! getting used to it. But if you wi.l only do as I tell you—we wi.l bring this old room into use—and take the letter and the lock of hair we found here, and scare him so he will be ready and willing to go out of the house the very next day.' Rose then entered into all the details of her plan, which .was pronounced an excellent one by every body present. In obedience to her instructions, Catharine had a toothache and Mrs. Cowley a headache the next evening, which forbade them slttin; up later than nine o'clock. Mrs. Macarthy and Rose also retired at that ear.y hour, to wait upon the Inval ds. and Mr. Cowley was left alone in his glory, without even a cat to bear him not object to the He mixed himself some more grog, smoked one or two cheroots, and finally took up a book to keep himself awake. It was a volume i of American tales, and this was the story which, by ill-hick, he happened to select: "While I lay one night in the first distempered visions of my illness, I heard those who watched beside me telling an eld tale of a family long since extinct in our settlement' "An old and wealthy man bad won a fair young girl for "his bride, and broueht her from her native England to this distant country that he mlftht separate her forever from an early love—a cousin to whom her hand had once been pledged and—so said the gossips—her heart always given. "Gold is no Ie.?s powerful in the -mother country than this; and for its sake the father of the lovely Ginerva took back his pledged word, and gave his daughter to a stern and moody man, who little knew how to value the prize he had gained. "So fcr America he sailed and built a stately home for his pale bride, on the very place where our quiet little village now stands. Nothing was spared that taste could dictate or lavish wealth supply. But luxury was not what the Lady Ginerva desired while love was offered to her. Swiftly as they sailed across the bright blue sea, one followed close upon their CHAPTER XII. "Beautiful sue w<»s, but frail.

For three, long years they watched h.m— in the fourth he needed not their care, but was at rest Of the lo^t lady, no tidings were ever received, and as years went by, and the old ha.l began to decay, some enterprising settlers tore it down, and from its ruins, Phoanix- like, sprang up our pretty vJ.age of brighter days. "This, or something akin to It, was the tale I heard, and in all my feverish visions after that night, the English Lady bore a conspicuous part. They tell me that I called for her incessantly; that 1 fanc.ed myself, now the successful lover, now the forsaken huaband; and could only be pacified by the assurance of her speedy return. "Be this as it may, I can remember well how often I saw her standing by my bed, an airy, impalpable shape, of which I could net possibly discover a single feature; but all seemed a gl ttering array of misty Iovelmes3. And when, in a voice that I could understand (though on the diuler ears of my attendants it fell like the whispers of the evening wind) she bade me seek her at the Hall, how could I disobey? I only watched my opportunity and counterfeiting sleep one hot summer afternoon saw them all leave the rooms with noiseless steps, and I knew that I was free. "The glass door at the lower end of my apartment led into the garden. From that, the lonely road led over the hill, and to the site of the Hall was easi.y gained. I diew my dressinggown around me, thrust my feet into a pair of embroidered slippers and passed o u t "Oh, the glad thrill that shot throu ,h my veins at the first free breath of the summer air! Oh, the delight with which my parched lips quaffed the clear water in the fountain by the arbor! I spilled it over me in my fever 1 h haste! I threw it over my hot face, and over my closely shorn head!.Then unfastening the Lttle wooden gate I ran swiftly, longing, but not daring, to shout aloud in my joy, till the hill road was gained. "I climbed the hills and descended the valleys—I waded through the morass, not without a sickening fear when I saw the brown and black water snakes glide lovingly in pairs around me. "At length I stood upon the brow of the last hill and saw what I had not before discovered—that, a precipice lay at my feet, jagged and rough enough, it is true, to admit of a careful descent, but still a fearful thing to look at and attempt. Other way, however, there was none; and holding my breath and uttering an inward prayer to God. I began, to descend. Slowly ten feet of the bottom. I looked back at the height I had descended, and with a gay laugh grasped at a bough which grew near, and swung myself from the rock on which I stood. "But I was prematurely excited. The shrub to which I had entrustsd my lif? and safety, though seemingly strong, was in reality decayed, and but sightly rooted. I felt it grinding up from the ground, and knew that in another moment I should fall below. I clutched frantically with my free hand. I shrieked aloud in my frenzy and despair wiien I found I could not hold my precarious footing. I looked beneath me at the rocky bed of the brook and thought hew soon I should lie upon it. stunned and motionless; it might be dead! The shrub broke in my hand—I was gone! "But at that moment of my fall. terror gave me strength, and with a treaaendous muscular effort I th^ew my body out from the bank in a frantic leap for life. ^ "My presence cf mind probablv s^ved me; for in the place of falling directly below and upon the rocks, the impetus of my leap sent me far out into the stream, where a bed of soft sand received me. and the cool water, too shallow to engulf, rippled around mo in separate streams. "How long I la5;there I cannot tell; but wfcen at last iNunclosed my eyos and looked up a t the^ealm, blue sky that seemed to bend close above me the hot san. though veiled behind a pavilion of- fleecy clouds, dazzled my eyes aaO burned my cheek. • (To be continued.)

Some mean person wrote directly tinder it, "Two-thirds of the truth." All manner of extravagant expressions are possible when a woman's nerves are overwrought. The spasm at the top of the wind pipe or bronchial tubes, "ball rising in the throat," violent beating of the heart, laughing and crying by turns, muscular spasms (throwing the arms about), frightened by the most insignificant occurrences— are all symptoms of a hysterical condition and serious derangement of the female organs. Any female complaint may produce hysterics, which must be regarded as a symptom only. The causei however, yields quickly to Lydia E . Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which acts at once upon the organ af&'cted and the nerve centers, dispelling effectually all those distressing symptoms.

F l o r i d a T o w n G u t t e d by Fire. The UK)it disastrous tire in the history of Jacksonville!, Fla., started there shortly after noon on the 3d, in a small factory from a defective . wire, according to the best belief, and burned nearly 10 hours. In that time a property damage, estimated from $10,000,- 000 to 815,000,000, was caused. According? to the city map, 130 blocks were burned, many of them in the heart of the business and residence section. jf,Thc estimate of houses to the block, is 10; hence 1,3)0 of them went up in smoke. Many of the finest public and private buildings were destroyed, including hotels, theaters, churches and residences. The casualties cannot be accurately estimated. That there were several seems to be well authenticated. Among- thera was that of the fire chief, who sustained a bad fall. The mayor ordered all of the saloons closed and has impressed help to clear the wreckage. The, mayor, at a late hour, stated that he estimated the loss at $15,000,000, and that 10,000 to 15,000 people were homeless. Caring for the Homeless. The hunger of 10,000 homeless people was satisfied at Jacksonville, Fla., on the f>th upon the arrival of relief trains and boats bringing provisions from neighboring towns. In the early morning a commissary was established in the center of the city and thousands were fed during the day. The distress is growing hourly and every mail brings offers of assistance. An order has been promulgated under martial law requiring all merchants, whose stores were spared by the conflagration, to open their doors and sell to all who asked. I t is estimated that 3,000 persons have left the city and every outgoing train is crowded with refugees. Five carloads of tents, the property of the state, which are to be used by the homeless temporarily, has been received. It is now estimated that the total property losses will reach $11,- 000,000. S m a l l p o x A m o n g Indians. The bureau of Indian affairs has received an official report from the Tulalip Indian agency, Washington, announcing that smallpox exists not only in the state of Washington, but also in communities adjacent to the Tulalip reservation and in other reservations within the jurisdiction of the Tulalip agency. Vaccination has been going on at the Fort Madison, Swinomish, Lummi and Tulalip reservations and a liberal additional supply of vaccine points will be sent to the agent at Tulalip. .Juimn'rt Cabinet lU'ftlffniMl.

That Is tns Average In Transmission of Tower from Niagara to Buffalo. Naturally all who Inspect the great central power station of the Niagara Falls Power company at Niagara Falls become greatly interested in the wonderful feat of transmitting thousands of horsepower over solid copper and aluminum conductors from the falls to Buffalo. It Is hard to understand how such a vast amount of force as Buffalo receives from the power station is transmitted over or through a solid body such as these conductors, and people wonder what percentage of the power designed to be* transmitted reaches Buffalo. In other words, they wonder what the percentage of loss is in the transmission. For the benefit of those who seek this information, it may be stated that the loss of current in the transmission Is less than twenty per cent, which is equivalent to saying that of the Niagara energy started out on the Niagara end of the transmission lines, over eighty per cent of it reaches Buffalo and is available there for light, heat and power purposes.

Mrs. Mary C. Fentress WTitea Iron* Paradise, Tex., the following: " I think I can say that your good adviceand medicine has cured me of chronic catarrh. I have had no pains in my head since I have taken Peruna. 1 have been in bad health ever sinpfr '59, and have taken a good many medicines which were only of temporary relief. Peruna is the catarrh cure. The* Peruna stopped my catarrh of the head so that it did not become chronic, and I am very thankful for Dr. Hartman's advice and medicine." Peruna is a specific for all catarrhal diseases. It acts quickly and beneficially upon the inflamed mucousmembrane, thus removing the cause of catarrh. Catarrh is catarrh wherever located. Catarrh is essentially t h e same everywhere. The remedy that will cure catarrh in one situation will cure it 1 B all situations. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. HaTtman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you His valuable advice gratis.

You know very well how you feet when your liver don't act. Bile collects in the blood, bowels become constipated and your whole system is poisoned. A lazy liver fs an invitation for a thousand pains and aches to come and dwell with you. Your life becomes one long measure of irritability and despondency and bad feeling. CASCARETS act directly, and in a peculiarly happy manner on the liver and bowels, cleansing, purifying, revitalizing every portion of the liver, driving all the bile from the blood, as is soon shown by increased appetite for food, power to digest it, and strength to throw off the waste.

Very few of the people to whom maple sugar is an entirely familiar and commonplace thing are aware of the fact that the method of making sugar was taught to the white people by the Indians and that they made «ugar long before the discovery of America, ^ i s Is only one of the many tilings that the •white people learned from the Indians. Others were the weaving of cotton, the cultivation of Indian corn and the use of tobacco. Some of the early writers tell ua that the French were the first to make this *ugar and that they learned how to make it from the Indian women. The sap was collected in a rude way, a gash being cut in the tree, and into this a stick was thrust, down which the freely flowing sap dripped into h vessel of birch bark or a gourd or into wooden troughs hollowed out by tire or the ax. Then into larger wooden troughs full of the sap redhot stones were thrown, ,1ust as in old times they used to be thrown into the water in which food was boiled, and by constantly throwing in hot stones and taking out those that had become cool the sap was boik'd and evaporated, and at length sirup was nuule. which later became sugar. 0 « * * * ^ V *%+*** *.---***»t • * * • * » # • V t e ^ v l • J**>^>** ti'1 ra and.

The white wax exported from China la made by the curious method of using insects Jn its production. These insects are found in brown pea shaped excrescences or galls attached to an evergreen tree called the "insect tree." The galls are gathered in May and carried in headlong flight tb the market towns by bearers, who travel at night so that the heat may not force the insects to emerge during the journey. They are then placed on the "wax tree," which is a stump varying from 3 to 12 feet in height, with numerous branches rising from the top, similar. to the pollard willow. The wax insects are made into small packets of 120 or 30 galls, which are inclosed in a loaf of the wood oil tree, fastened together with rice straw. These packets are suspended close to the branches under which they hang. On emerging frdrn the galls the insects creep rapidly up the branches, to which they attach themselves and begin forming a coating of wax that in about three months attains a thickness of almost a quarter of an inch. The branches are then cut off. and •twywa^jfww^aw *mm ""•'•^'"•Wlffrt' after removing as much of the wax as This manufacture of the sugar was p o 5 s i b l e b v n a m l t h e v a r e p u t i n <a Uet- no>tt confined to any one tribe, but was t l e o f n o t w:Ut n .( y.^u t h e r e m a i a i n g practiced by all northern Indians and was known tc those living as far south as Florida and Texas. Among the sugar making tribes a special festival was held, which was. called'the maple dance, which was undoubtedly a religious festival in the nature of a prayer or propitiatory ceremony, asking for an abundant flow of sap and for good fortune in collecting it. Among many if not all the Indians inhabiting the northern United States maple sugar was not merely a luxury, something eaten because it was toothsome, but was actually an important part of their support. Mixed with pounded, parched corn, it was put up in small quantities and was a coucen-| hjqh up in the air? wax floats on the surface and the insects finish their term of usefulness by going to the bottom.

Didn't Cut H i s Corner*. A writer in the Dostou Transcript gives this reminiscence of the Rev. Dr. Elijah Kellogg of Harpswell, Me.: "One Sunday before his sormon the doctor announced from his pulpit: 'The widow Jones' grass is getting pretty long. I stiall be there with my scythe, rake and pitchfork at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I hope every male member of the congregation will bo there too.' "The next morning they were all there and among them Captain Griggs, six feet two in his stockings, with a weight of nearly 2."0 pounds. 'Parson,' said he as they were working up the field near each other. Tin goin to cut your corners this mornin.' "Now, Dr. Kellogg was a little man. weighing scarcely more than 130 pounds, but he knew how to handle a scythe, and, as he told me, with a little shrng of his shoulders, 'he didn't ent my corners that morning.' More trated form of nutriment not much less valuable in respect to its quality of support than the pemmiean which. was used almost down to our own times. Among Jill the older writers who had much familiarity with the customs of the Indians accounts are given of the manufacture of.sugar, and this custom was so general that among many tribes the month in which the sap ran best wns called the sugar month. By the Iroquois the name Itatirontaks. meaning'tree eaters, was applied to the Algonquin tribes, and an eminent authority. Dr. Brintou. has suggested that they were probably, "so called from their love of the product of the sugar maple." On the other hand* A. F. Chamberlain has very plausibly said "that it is hardly likely that the Iroquois distinguished other tribes by this term, if its origin be as suggested, since they themselves were sugar makers and eaters." A more probable origin of the word is that given by Schoolcraft, in substance as follows: "Ilatirontaks. whence Adirondncks. was applied chietiy to the Montagnais tribes, north of the St. Lawrence, and was a derisive term indicating a well known habit of these tribes of easing the inner bark of trees in winter when food was scarce or when on war excursions." This habit of eating the inner bark of Dew does not rise in particles. a3 it was once considered to fall in particles like tine ruin. It rises in vapor. Some is caught l y what is on the surface of the earth..but the rest ascends in vapor form until it comes in contact with a much colder surface to condense it into moisture. The vapor does now flow upward In a uniform stream, but is mixed in the air by eddies and wind currents and I carried to bodies far from where it ! rose. In fact, dew may be deposited, I even though the country for many I miles all around be dry and incapable of yielding any vapor. In such cases the supply of vapor to form that dew would depend on the evaporation of the-dew-and-Jiri what was wafted over by the winds. iWa^aF^TpW^r»^aw < We tbevBMerwawi*.•'4o • b*rebf a*ree to rarand the inoaey on a 50 cent b>>ttle<0f Down* EHM*it,i% A<m ttotcureanv eongh* cold, «fboopin»| cootfh, or ihroat JtrontjAe.

On tlie western prairies sugar was' made also from the bos elder, which trees were tapped by the Indians and* I the sap boiled down for sugar, and toj day the Cheyenne Indians tell us that 1 it was from this tree that they derived J all the sugar that they had until the arrival of the white man on the plains something more than 50 years ago. j It is interesting to observe that in j many tribes .today the word for sugar | is precisely the word which they applied to the product of the maple tree before they knew the white man's sug- I ar. It is interesting also to see that 1 among many tribes the general term j for sugar means wood or tree water— | that is to say. tree sap.

MEMORIAL DAY APPROACHING India and Ceylon have competed so successfully with China in the production of tea that, whereas in 1880 2,100,- 000 hundredweight of the leaf were exported from China, only 1,631,000 hundredweight left the country in 1899.

A Minneapolis man bought from a Russian in Halifax five years ago a curious rough stone of reddish hue. •Acting on a recent hint, he sent the stone to Kansas City, and cutters developed ten fine Siberian rubies worth $75 a carat. Public-spirited citizens at St. Loui3 have offered conditionally to free the site of the exposition if it can be secured for the use of the public.library, Memorial Day Order. Department Commander Allen of the G. A. It. has issued general order No. 7 in which he calls attention to the fact that "Memorial day,sacred to the Grand Army of the Republic, and fragrant with tender memories of unforgotten valor, is approaching. Let the woman's relief corps and all patriotic women, the sons and daughters of veterans, all veterans of the civil war and of the more receot conflicts, together with the school children and all civic organizations be invited to participate with you in the duties of Memorial day. "Post commanders and all officers of the posts are requested to use their best efforts in directing the minds of their drew Carnegie. There is only one building at the Pan-American exposition in Buffalo designed in its entirety by a woman, and that one is the structure which will represent the states of New England.

Let there be a proper effort made to dispense with any attempt to make the day one for sport and amusement only. ikPost commanders are requested to arrange, as far as practicable, for an observance by all churches ou Sunday, May 26, of an appropriate service commemorating the soldier and sailor dead of our country, and it is earnestly desired that with their colors at the front every Grand Army post in this department will attend some such memorial service i'c a body on the Sabbath next preceding Memorial day. "In occordance with the action of the thirtieth national encampment, it is ordered by the department commander that Lincoln's Gettysburg address be read in connection with memorial services." The Atlantic pigeon post, which was suspended for the winter, will be resumed next month. Passengers on board Atlantic steamers can avail themselves of the birds to let their friend3 hear of the progress of the voyage or of their impending arrival. Of the hundreds of pigeons sent off at sea last year only two went astray. In passing upon the constitutionality of an act of the legislature limiting the height of buildings to seventy feet on lands'adjacent to the new courthouse, the Supreme Court of Massachusetts held that the state, in the exercise of its police power, has not the right to impose such restrictions without paying damages to the property owners affected. If Lieut. Elmsley, the young Canadian officer who was reported dangerously wounded in South Africa some weeks ago, recovers, his restoration will be one of the record recoveries, since on his arrival at the hospital in Pretoria it was found a bullet had gone through his heart. Whether tho diagnosis was wrong or his case is another example of the humanness of the modern bullet remains to be seen. The fact that he lived at all is sufficiently remarkable. Canvassers Completed Their Work. The state board of canvassers completed the work of canvassing the vote cast at iast month's election on the 1st. The result shows that the Republican candidates bad a very easy thing of i t For justice of the supreme court, Robert H. Montgomery, Republican, received 219,097 votes; Allen C.

Genesee county farmers are just discovering* that duriug the past winter mice have injured much nursery stock so badly by gnawing the bark from it that it is worthless. The general store and postoffice kept by Geo. D. Shearer at Francisco, Jackson county, was broken into by burglars on the night of the 2Sth and 801.48 money and 850 in stamps taken. As there was no testimony strong enough to hoid Drs. Bailey and McLaren, charged with manslaughter in the Mahan case at Detroit, Justice Sellers on the 22d exonerated them. Inspector-General Green suggests that a good way to make the national guard efficient would be to ra\se the pay of the troops. He also suggests that the state erect its own armories. Burglars operated at Luther on the night of the 4th. The safes in the two depots were blown open. Only 81 was secured in one, but the amount secured at the other place is not made public.

The following bills were passed by the house on the 30th: Preventing spread of tree p;«sts; defining qualifications of kindergarten teachers in the public schools; amending charter of the cit.y of Detroit so as to create a commissioner of public works; amending Detroit charter so as to create commissioner of parks and boulevards; amending'Detroit charter so as to create commissioner of police; prohibiting the Succi, Tanner, and all other fasting men, would appear to be distanced by a young widower who lives in the "Faubourg St. Antoine, Paris. This person lost his wife a few months since, and his grief took the form of a desire to starve himself to death. He had, it is affirmed, been without food since December 29, 1900. When found he was a mere heap of skin and bone. A neighbor poured some warm bouillon down his throat, and after awhile he revived and wrote on a piece of paper, "Being unable to survive my wife. I resolved to commit suicide by starving myself to death." In his biography of Phillips Brooks, Alexander V. G. Allen of Cambridge tells of a clergyman who was going abroad and talked in jest of bringing back a new relation with him. "You might have some trouble in getting it through the custom house," some one remarked. "No," observed Bishop Brooks; "we may take it for granted that a new religion would have no duties attached." Another person, for the sake, no doubt, of argument, once drew attention to the fact that some men, calling themselves atheists, seemed to lead moral lives, and Brooks promptly disposed of it. "They have to," said he; "they Aave no God to forgive them if they don't." A horrible parricide was committed recently at Marseilles. M. Martin Josime, cashier at a large firm, resolved to contract a second marriage. His son* aged 20, who had given his father a great deal of trouble, asked to be present. M. Josime gladly consented, and presented him with a new suit of clothes for the occasion. Joseph Josime angrily declared that they were not of good quality. The wedding party were Just starring to the church for the ceremony when the son said to hi3 father that it would be more in keeping to take some flowers to the tomb of Itfs dead mother. He then pulled out a revolver and exclaimed: "Take that. One bullet for you, and two, for me afterwards." M. Posime^fell dead, and his son, who expressed gladness, was arrested. ^w Ice IHockade in St. Cluir JMvpr. Instead of improving, the conditions at St. Clair, Marine City and Algouae, where the ywr, is the thickest are continually getting worse, and on tho. 2d much damage was done. Only for a short time did the immense field of ice move, but in that time its power was supreme and no human effort could save the valuable shipping property from damage. Vesslemen state that it now looks as though it will be May 1"» before navigation will be optm and 'when finally the ice does begin to move they anticipate that much more serious results will follow. The greatest aaraage thus far was done to the docks of the Marine City Stave Co. and the boats that were tiftd up there. m • Manistee May Get M. X. G. Encampment. Unless the members of the state military board change their minds wh;le on their northern trip the next state military encampment will be held at Manistee, but in all probability this site will not be permanent. The advantage of the Manistee site lies principally in the fact that the grounds are well covered with sod, while the grounds at Newaygo and Cadillac are more or less sandy in character. It is possible, however, that the' Cadillac site will be approved as the permanent camping ground of the troops. 890,000 Fire at Charlotte. Fire was discovered in Brown Bros.' clothing store at Charlotte on the afternoon of the'-.r>th and an hour later the entire stock was sufficiently damaged by fire, smoke and water to make it a total loss. The origin of the blaze is a mystery. The damage to the block is not large. The front end of the building was torn out by the department in order to get the fire apparatus working on the flames. C. S. Brown estimates the loss at 820,000; insured for 812,000. 200.000,000 Pickerel Egg*. Representatives of the state fish commission have been at West Bay City for some days past securing pickerel eggs for'We^aWTTaTcheries,'and later the young fry will be placed in waters in various parts of the state. The spawn-, ing season for pickerel is nearly over now and the men will leave in a few days. So far they have secured about 200,000,000 pickerel eggs, was 82,027,809.47. During the next two weeks the state will pay out upwards of 8300,000 in primary school money. Galcsburg's canning factory has been completed and has been turned over to the company by the contractors who built it. More than 50 acres of tomatoes alone are under contract to supply the raw material for the cannery. Mendon will be a dry town for a couple of Weeks at least. The village council refuses to act on saloon bonds until its meeting May 1:5, and as the old licenses expired on'the 1st, the saloonkeepers will have to take a little vac tion. That Manistiquo will have,a pulp mill is almost an assured fact. The country tributary to the city is being thoroughly investigated by a company which will establisn the mill if the visible supply of suitable timber warrants the outlay. Niles claimn the distinction of having the only woman chewing gum "magnate" in tr.e world. Her name is Kate \\\ Noble, and she wages war agaiust the great chewing gum trust and employs nobody but women in her factory at Niles. For the 'steenth time the people of Oceana county will, on June 7, vote on a proposition to bond the county for §10,000 for a new county jail. Hart, the county seat, will give 83,000 toward the new building in exse it is decided to have one. The large shingle mill of the Gray Milling Co., at Standish, burned on the 1st together with several cars of bolts and a large amount of shingles. The fire is thought to bave been the work of an incendiary. The loss is about 810,000, well insured. Benton Harbor and St. Joseph are both hustling to secure new industries but there are hardly enough houses in the cities to accommodate the present population, to say nothing of the additional families which would come in with the new factories. Congressman Rosscau O. Crump, representative of the 10th district of Michigan, died at his home at West Bay City on the morning of the 1st, of heart trouble. He returned from a Baltimore hospital 10 days ago and had been gradually failing since. Although he lived within r>0 miles of Detroit for 05 years, Alfred B. Ilustead, a prominent farmer of Groveland township, Oakland county, who recently died, had never visited the metropolis but once. That was in 18.10, when he walked into the city to file a deed to the farm he had purchased from the government. The Pottawatomles of Michigan are mad. The syndicate of Chicago capitalists who agreed to pay the tribe 845,000 by May 30, in settlement of their claims against valuable realty in the Windy city, have gone back on their agreement The Indians, who number 300, say that if the claim isn't settled by June 1 they will on that date charter a steamer, sail to Chicago and take nosaession of their property. spearing of fish in the lakes of Jackson county: to permit fishing through the ice with bob lines in Livingstone county; amending justice court act of Grand Rapids to provide that in work and labor claims the costs shall follow the judgment; appropriation Jackson prison, 812,000; appropriation State public school, $80,500; appropriation labor commissioner's department, 820,- OOn; appropriation Soldiers' Ilome, 8271,000; appropriation Mt Pleasant Normal school, 8118,000; amending act incorporating the French Canadian Society; regulating taxes to be paid by mutual fire insurance companies; providing for the open sale of certain homestead lands.

The house on the 1st passed Rep. C. J. Byrns's bill raaking\eight hours a legal day's work for employes in all "iron ore, copper, coal or other mines in this state." After a three-days vacation, the Benate devoted but 30 minutes to the state's business on the night of the 20th. Only 20 senators were present. of Americans entering farm life in Brazil. Although there are countless openings here for labor and capital in the development of agriculture, we cannot say that tney would be suitable or congenial for young Americana. In the first place, language, race, and Institutions are all radically different and would at first be obstacles; but to these, of course, an energetic, intelligent young man could adapt himself if he tried. But farm life as he understands it does not exist in Brazil, nor will he find in this country the Inducements for agricultural enterprise which exist in tne United States. Climate and custom will stand in the way of personal manual labor; consequently, he must bring capital to enable him to play the role of a gentleman planter, directing bis laborers, but not joining in their toil. Then, too, the cultivation of tropical products involves a new experience. He will have a new type of labor to direct, hew conditions of weather to study, new markets with which to familiarize himself. But the really serious obstacles, in our opinion, are artificial rather than natural—unsettled and frequently disturbed political conditions, latent jealousies springing from inherited antagonism of race and religion, crude idens of taxation by which <,tbe development of general agricultural industries or small farming has been rendered quite impossible, a depreciated currency which unsettles values, hampers trade, and nourishes speculation, and, lastly, deficient protection from the courts. There is no lack of opportunity for enterprise, but the man who devotes himself to the development of an Industry is not appreciated except as a source of revenue through the imposition of taxes. And one of the worst features of the system is the imposition of Interstate import and export taxes, which confine the producer to purely local and restricted markets. An example of this may be seen every day at our ferry station, where chickens, eggs, vegetables, plants, fruits, etc., are compelled to pay an export duty to the state of Rio de Janeiro before they can reach a market in this city. The result has been that many vegetaole gardens on the other side of the bay have been abandoned, because they are no longer profitable. A year or two ago, some Minas Geraes planters began producing potatoes and found a ready market for them here; but an export duty was immediately imposed upon them, and the industry was checked. Conditions like these will always operate against the settlement of thls^ country by energetic planters until wiser and more liberal counsels prevail. In southern Bra2il the climate is not unsuitable to Americans and north Europeans, and there are industries available which would amply repay them for their capital and labor; but as yet we cannot advise them to come." Ammonia Tent of r*ri< Green. Paris green dissolves freely and wholly in ammonia, becoming a beautiful blue liquid; while a majority of the substances formerly used in adulterating Paris green are insoluble. This, therefore, is a very ready means of recognizing most of the crude forms of adulteration. If upon treatment with ammonia any of the material fails to dissolve, the same is adulterated. This test, however, is not conclusive, since white arsenic and a number of other substances used in adulterating Paris green, especially in these later years, are soluble in ammonia and would escape detection if this method alone were depended on. Ammonia then affords valid grounds for rejecting a sample if any portion of it is insoluble; but other means must be used to be sure of its purity, even if apparently purs by this test. As a general thing farmers do not make enough use of clover about the hen yard and nests and in the feeding of the fowls. How many go to the trouble of cutting dry clover for any such purposes? Yet in nearly all cases it la far ahead of chaff, even for packing purposes. If cut fine 11 makes a good center for the nests of laying hens and a ttill better center for the nests of sitting hens. It is far preferable to whole straw in which the young chicks may become entangled. Some egg sellers use cut clover for packing efgs that are to go by express using the out clover in the part of the package containing the eggs and using excelsior only on the outside to separate the egge from the outside of the package*. Some chicken raisers use cut clover on, the floor of the brooder and say it is superior to sand or dirt In the London schools, last year 37,« 000 girla were taught to cook.

"I rose, pale and weak, and trembling, and- gained the shore. Striking Inland, the old Hall was just before me. I walked slowly up the long avenue and ascended the granite steps. As I reached the last step, I stumbled and .fell upon my knees. Looking round to see the cause, I found an iron gauntlet, rusted and eaten away, and half buried in the moss that grew around it. I tock it up with a strange thrill of awe. How many years had it awaited me, since the fiery lover hurled it, like a curse, back in the face of his pursuer? The door before me was of carved oak, but worm eaten and decaying. With a sudden impulse, for which I could not account, I struck upon it furiously with the iron g ove. The frail fastenings, already half undone by the hand of time, gave way at my impetuous summons, and, amid a thousand echoes, the door swung slowly on its hinges and the castle was won. When the cloud of dust raised by my sudden entrance had subsided, I passed through the portal and stood upon the floor of the hall. There, where the lovely lady's flying footsteps had rested last; there, where the lover had thrown down the iron glove, in defiance of the wronged and deserter! husband; there, where the feeble old man had sunk down in agony, when, hearing their horses' hoofs beyond tha outer court, he learned the full extent of his dishonor and despair; there, where his menial3 had ra sed him, shrieking and cursing In impetuous madness; there, where they had borne him slowly up the long stone staircase that wound around and around and-far above my head to the lonely room that was to be his prison and his tomb. The stone flags were no longer shoulder to shoulder, like firm friends and true. Time had come between them, as between all other things, and tha dark, deep crevices on every side were only hidden by the long grass that sought to bridge them over. "While I stood in the hall I thought I heard a faint, distant noise above my head, and looking up the staircase, I suv?—~" "Yow!" yelped Mr. Cowley, flinging the book to the other end of the room. "I'll read no more of that. I've got to where the ghost comes in. I looked up and saw—Oh, yes, of course you did. But if you imagine you are going to induce me to read your rawheaded and bloody-bone rubbish, you are grandly mistaken. Strange that everything one takes up in this wretched place turns into a ghost story on your hands. I should not be surprised any morning to find the leading artlcls in the Times turning into a tale of a haunted house right under my eyes. It's unbearable—positively unbearable!" He finished his grog and looked at his watch. "Eleven o'clock and the house as stlU as death! I wonder if they are all asleep. High time for me to go—Oh, Lord! what's that?" The sound was in the room exactly overhead—a steady, continuous knocking that seemed to summon him to the place without delay. "What room is that? The turret chamber! Rose said there was something there and that was why she moved her room!" For a moment or two the worthy banker sat like one paralyzed, a cold moisture on his face and h s heart beating a muffled march Within his breast At last his "British pluck" came to his aid. "By S t George of England. I won't turn coward in my old age!" he exclaimed. "Man, woman or ghost—let it be what it may, I'll go and meet it!" He took the candle and left the room. All was quiet on the stairs, in the hall, in the gallery above. The knocking ceased. With trembling hand he opened the door of the turret chamber. A tall and slender woman stood alone in the center of th* room. Her face was hidden by a black mask. A full mantle, or robe of crimson cloth covered heT from head to foot. It was girded at the waist by a cord of variegated silk, and the full sleeves were embroidered with threads of gold. Upon her breast something shone and sparkled in the shape of a star. In one hand she held the casket and the tress of hair; in the other, a paper o n which the astonished banker saw written in large lettf re: "On that day, I, a child of three years, had lain speechless and sense'.ess for more than twelve hours. The strange and sudden illness terrified every one around me—they thought me dead, and a veritable resurrection from t h e tomb could hardly have created more excitement than my recovery. I remembered the recovery—perfectly, tout all before It was a blank. Now, however, as I stood gazing on that picj ture, I seemed to remember dimly some ' other stage of existence, some lost life in which I bad loved or suffered in this. It was the old mystery that had I puzzled so many minds far stronger than mine—the mystery that we shall all, perhaps, see one day was but the dim working of a veiled and hidden truth." . Mr. Cowley read these words with an air of the utmost perplexity. His terror was gone, for he believed the , mysterious old lady to be human and , living like himself. But what she I wanted of him—why she held that paper out so persistently, and what on earth its contents were all about, he could not say. "Bleis me! what a rigmarole it all is, to be sure!" he muttered to himself. "How on earth did she get here? and what can she want? I wonder if she can speak English? I'll try her, at a!l events. Madam, can I be of any service to you?" The figure turned. The very movement struck a sudden chill to the worthy banker's heart. What if she was net alive, after all! Gracious powers! what if he had been calling a ghost "Ma'am!" The figure moved. It made no noise, and yet it came nearer and nearer. He put out his hand to arrest its progress and an ice-cold touch met his own. He turner faint and sick. He would have fled, but his feet seemed rooted to the floor. "Go~-go from the house and bring my husband back!" said a hollow voice; then the veil fell aside, and a white, hideous face glared upon him. He uttered a loud shriek, and fainted. The next instant, Mrs. Cowley, Rose and Catharine were in the room, and Cousin Charles stole out of the cupboard, where he had witnessed the scene. "I hope he is not hurt," whispered Mrs. Cowley. "I shall never forgive myself for the trick if he comes to harm." "Make yourself easy, aunt, he 13 recovering," said Mr. Cowley; and, snatching his uncle up in his strong arms, he laid him upon his own bed, and vanished before the banker had seen him. There was not much danger, after that, of Mr. Cowley's remaining in the haunted house a day longer than he cor.ld help. CHAPTER XIII. It is strange how ultimateiy~sceneTy becomes connected with some of thg strongest emotions and passions of the human mind. We gaze out upon a fair and sunny landscape in midsummer, as we lie beneath the trees, and a vague sadness steals over us, because the eyes whose beauty has sunk into our hearts cannot look upon it too; we look up at the moon as she floats serenely through the deep blue sky an.l sigh, thinking of the days that are no more. Nay, even the storms that roar loudly over land and sea, set us brooding over the past, and our tears fall wi'h the rain. So thought Rose Cowley, as she sat alone in her dressing room one gloomy morning. Poor Rose! she had be?n washed in many a shower of tears, in spite of all her present gayety. Her fnther would as soon have believed that Gog and Magog would com? down from their pedestals and fall in love, as that his merry Rose had fallen a victim to the little urchin with the bow. Yet it was true. A year after she left school, she had paid a visit* to one of her mother's relatives—a genuine, old-fashioned, hearty English squire. It was at his house that the mischief was done—under his protection that she met the man who was to be at once the blessing and the torment of her future life. She had first seen him at church, where, I am afraid, h|s blue eyes and regular features and golden hair had attracted more of her attention than she gave to her prayer book. And when, at the end of the service, her host came up to her and introduced the handsome stranger us the son of his oldest and dearest friend there were not wanting those who marked the shy smile, the slight blush, and the bashful drooping of her eyes as she greeted him. Rose was a free, wild Rose no longer. Love, even at first sight, will be lord of all; and there is no time on earth, I think, where he plays so many vagariees as during the visit of a pretty city girl to an old-fashioned English countryho'- rse. Mr. Verc became a constant visitor at the house of his friend, and Rose entered upon a new phase of her life, and that sweetest, happiest and meet foolish of times, when a young girl's heart first finds out that it has other work to do besides besting. She would sit for hours, when her lover was ab« sent, recalling every trivial circumstance of their last Interview; and then with a blush at the thought of her employment, welcome another idea, touching in its tenderness, to her heart, and'weep for joy that she had reserved the first fond love of her ycung spirit for t i t e r — In such musing3—such happy companionship— a month passed rapidly away. No word of love had been spoken between the two; yet enough had been said (though something a l - ways seemed to check the avowal upon his lips) to leave her happy in the belief that she was very dear to him. True, he had never asked her to be his—had never told her definitely that he loved her. But he had ki3sed her hand; and a lock of that beautiful golden hair rose and fell with every pulsation of her happy heart. Alas for that first sweet, Innocent joy! Ere long that sunny curl w a s wet with bitterest tears, and hidden carefully away—the first of the lost treasures which she, like every other woman, was to gather around her as she went through life. It was her own folly that first came between them. She was young and childish; perhaps vain and trifling at times. She loved him dearly, and yet, secure in her possession, she was at times very cruel to him. For when a man leves a woman truly, she has it in her power to hurt and torment him In a thousand different ways. Rose took the heart that had been given her; and, half carelessly, half maliciously, wounded it very grievousl y Among the guests at Howlet House was one who had been seriously inclined to worship at her shrine before Mr. Vere had made his appearancce. That he loved her she could not help believing; that he was unhappy about her, she and every one else around her knew. And yet she allowed him to hang over her chair—to talk to her— to bring h e l i c e s — t o hold her bouquet when she danced,giving him encouragement (in the countless ways a woman knows so well), without seeming to do so. Mr. Vere looked on and said nothing. She was not engaged to him, and he had no right to interfere. It may be that he might have asked for such a right; but in his heart he disapproved so strongly of her conduct, that he preferred to watch the drama to its close before h e committed himself in any way. The crisis came at last. They were at a party one even—this man aivl Rose. Mr. Vere was absent, but was expected later in the evening—a proceeding on his part which did not please his wilful lady-love. But she would not show her displeasure. She listened to the passionate words that were breathed in her ear, and said to herself that she would not "wear the willow." Come what might with that thought, some chain that bound her spirit seemed suddenly unloosened, and she became the gayest of the gay. The band struck up a waltz—couple after couple glided easily away from the ground around them, till she was the only lady left. "One waltz—only one!" breathed that voice in her ear. She sh rank back at first, well remembering in what terms Mr. Vere had expressed his opinion of the dance a few days before. "Oh, I c-.nnot'" "Surely you are not afraid of Mr. Vere? He is not here—he will not know. Will you not grant this favor —perhaps the last I shall ever ask of yon?" The pleading glance of the sad, dark eyes prevailed. She rose from her seat. His r.rm was around her waist; his breath upon her cheek; his voice breathing passionate words of admiration in her not unwilling ear; and the absent lover seemed almost forgotten. People made a circle around the room to watch them; for both were young, and graceful, and beautiful, and they moved as if they had but one soul between them. Rose's vanity was roused by the flattering exclamations she heard on every side. Flushed and smiling and happy, she floated around; when, as she passed the door, she looked up and «sw a gentleman standing there with folded arms, and his eyes fixed intently upon her face. It was Mr. Vere. She was proud—too proud to show how frightened she was, though her partner felt her trembling from head to foot. She said that she was tired, and they left the circle and sat down^ Mr. Vere did not come to her. She saw him talking to a lady near the door, as grave and calm as ever, only that he never trusted himself to look that way until the party was breaking up. Then he crossed the room and stood before her. "The carriage waits," he said quietly. "Will you allow me?" He offered his arm. He did not seem angry. No man could have been more courteous than he. He never spoke as they descended the stairs together; but at the carriage door ha stopped a moment and looked at her very gravely. (Te be continued^ ''CHINA WAR N E W S . The generals of the powers held a conference at PeUin on the 29th, to consider the withdrawal of troops, and decided to address a note to tde miniater- j informing them that when the ministers are able to announce the lump sum demanded as indemnity and the Chinese have agreed to the prin' ciple of the payment arrangements will be possible for withdrawal. The other matters discussed were handing over the administration of Pekirr to native officials, and the plan for the command of the legation guards, as to whether this command should be centered in one officer or each detachment should be independent. The report of Gen Ketteler, received at Pekin from Kuo Lu, differs from the other reports concerning the German- French expedition previously received. Gen. Ketteler's report shows that the Chinese troops did not leave the province till they were forced to do so. The entire brigade, commanded by Gen. Ketteler, met t h e enemy on April 23 and inflicted immense loss. The report does not give the loss. The Germans had one officer and three soldiers killed and 28 soldiers wounded. It is reported that the Japanese government has reserved a subsidized mail steamer for its own use. This suggests that she is preparing for emergencies. The desperate state of the private iioaDces of Japan is said to be making the war propaganda peculiar. According to opinion in Shanghai, an outbreak of hostilities would be the signal for a rising1 throughout China. " The legation guard at the American legation at Pekin will not be subjected to the order of any foreign general. Official reports of the latest phases of the negotiations at Pekin, as told in press dispatches, have not reached Washington. The American legation guard will retain its independence, even if necessary to remove it from Pekin and from Chioa. A dispatch from Pekin, dated May 1, says that a bloody battle has occurred between the Russians and Chinese near Mukden. The Russians lost 00 in killed and wounded. Four Russian officers were killed, and among the wounded was Gen. Zerpitzki. The German expedition is returning to Pekin, leaving the country greatly disaffected, o w i u g to the hardships inflicted upon the population. Altogether the expedition appears to have produced a very bad effect I The famine Rtricken peop'e of China are becoming desperate,.and are now . eating each other. They have eaten every blade of grass, every bit of bark ; in fact everything that can be eaten I in that province. I The U. S. cavalry and artillery left Pekin on the 5th to march to Ton-Ku. Imposing farewell ceremonies attended their departure. { France has placed the amount of her indemnity to be asked from China at 1,3(>5,000,000 francs.

No woman not divorced is eligible to membership, bat there Is nothing frivolous about the organization. It is to be called the Humanity club, and its badge is a silver ring, engraved with that word, and worn on the wedding ring finger. m e appropriateness of the name seems a jtrlfle occult; but, presumably, a divorced woman has more troubles of her own, in Austria, than here and needs moral support. The idea of a band of divorced women meeting weekly "for mutual entertainment and support" will probably strike the average American citizen as distinctly humorous; but it is a serious matter in Vienna, and the club proposes building for itself a permanent home.—New York Sun.

Portland, May 6th.—Dr. E. A. Rose, a practising physician, formerly of Yates Center, Kans., was on what everyone supposed • was his death bed. He had Diabetes, and six of his brother doctors were in attenda n c e and consultation at his bedside They had done everything that medical skill could suggest to save his life, but they were at last reluctantly forced to tell him that he must prepare for death. His aunt had been summoned to his dying bedside. After the doctors had given her nephew up, she insisted that as a last resort, he be given a treatment of Dodd'8 Kidney Pills. From the very first dose, the tide turned in his favor. His life was saved, and he is hale and hearty today. This case and its cure has amazed the physicians, and is the sensation of the hour. It is interesting to note that while many others are being cured this great discovery in medicine, the physicians themselves are among the first to benefit, and that while the simpler and more prevalent forms, such as Rheumatism, Sciatica, Bladder and Urinary Trouble and Female Weakness disappear before it, the more malignant forms, such as Bright's Disease, Diabetes and Dropsy, which have always been regarded as incurable, are yielding just a s easily. Dodd's Kidney Pills are fast superceding all other treatment for Kidney Disease, and as nearly all human sickness and suffering has its origin in the Kidneys, the use of this wonderful medicine is becoming almost universal. • -* - The molasses output of thetwosujrar companies at Bay City will be converted into alcohol and chemicals.

Several people were seriously injured in a disturbance on the Campus Martin^fn Detroit last Friday night at which time the police were suppressing free speech. Commissioner Andrews who was the real cause of the disturbance, we are glad to say is no relative of ours. Some people do not know it, but the law does not require supervisors to make out or go after tax statements. He may require the taxpayer to make his own valuations on personal property. Many did this last year, swore to the statement, tbsn when thev came to pay their taxes blamed the supervisors for the raise. sick i John Chambers and wife spent Sunday with friends in Hamburg. J. F.

Come again boys. Secretary of state Warner will notify all county commiisioners of schools not to permit the sale of counly school diplomas bearing a fac similie of the great seal ot the state. It is learned that several publishing houses have been selling such diplomas in the state and the use of the seal is contrary to law. For the summer at least the Ep* worth League have decided to hold their devotiooal meetings in connection with the prayer meeting on Thursday evening of each week. At the meeting last week thi topic was taken up and much interest manifested by those present. All are invited to attend these services. An exchange has the following to say of an Orion man's experience in the use of salt ia raising potatoes last season: A few rows of hiils in a field he salted thoroughly and these rows yielded more and better tubers than the unsalted rows. Having used the salt during a dry spell, he claims that it keeps the hills moist. Another thoroughly satisfactory result was that the salted rows were untouched by the pestiferous potatoe bug.

Vfefc* W<tad«rral Trelnln* Whloh Made t h o a i u Mlnnoofc * Matter in the Art of D^eepUoti—Can Coutrol Respiration, Heart and FaUe. That many of the mysteries of hypnotism are nothing more than cleverly executed tricks is proven, if the statements of Thomas Minnock are tfue. Perhaps no one is better qualified t o speak o n this subject. For years he has acted as a hypnotic subject, or "horse," as the character i s termed in the language of the profession. He is one of that class of men wfao sleep for hours in a store window, are buried alive, drink and eat poisohona substances, and submit to havi n g ©ins and needles stuck into their dean without flinching. He claims to have traveled with such noted hypnotists and magnetic healers as Sant& nelii, Schlatter, Keen, the Lees, the Sages, and to have received his training from the famous Dr. Charcot of Paris. He has not only deceived the general public, but some of the world's leading scientists and physicians. His training has led him to gain a wonderful control of his faculties and organs. He can control his heart beats and respiration, and produce an action in the muscles In his wrists to ind i c a t e that the pulse is not beating vhe same in each. H U E a r l r Training*. Minnock was brought to the attention of Dr. Charcot in Brussels, Belglum. He went to Europe with Barnum's circus and acted the part of the "baby clown." This consisted in running about the ring and imitating all the acts of the real clown. Dan Rice was the clown and the old funmaker thought a creat deal of the boy. When THOMAS MINNOCK, the show was In England Minnock attracted the attention of the manager of a local circus. It was a small affair, bat the manager offered him a larger salary than he was getting and he accepted i t The circoe went to the Brussels exposition and became stranded and wrecked in the Belgium capital. Minnock had no money and when almost on the verge of starvation appealed to the American con- :soL That official could not furnish him with transportation to the United Slates, bat gave him a little money and a note of introduction to Dr. Charcot, who was then in Brussels. The doctor was Impressed with the appearance of the boy and took him In his service. Then his training as a fharpnotic subject commenced. He say8: *The doctor began to stickpins into various parts of my body, but only pricked me a little, and, though I winced considerably, I at last learned tit submit quietly, no matter how deeply the pins were stuck into me. Then he taught me to lower my respiration and heart action at will—a process that took several months of constant practice. But these are essentials to a. successful hypnotic subject, as I will explain. The Cataleptic Condition. "'To begin with, in order to simul a t e the cataleptic condition, it is necessary that the respiration should be very faint. It have learned to keep /alive o n two breaths a minute, which •yon will admit is rather a small allowance. The control of the heart is more complicated—being in reality a control of the pulsations by which they may be increased or diminished a t will. But even this i s attended with deception, particularly when I rpretend to have two separate pulses, one side running high and the other low. I nave deceived the ablest doctors in the world with this act." ATteT Minnock had become proficient the doctor used him to Illustrate his lectures and scientific lectures, and paid h i m well. When the physician died be left him $600 in his will. Minnock then returned to the United States and soon spent his money. W h e n be became stranded he went to work in dime museums as the human pin cushion, and in this capacity Blade a reputation all over the coun- . -try. _ There is often mote of Christ in the /fefttebs* than In the cathedral CHINA WAR N E W S . The latest mail from" China has brought- to the state ^department a t Washington new proofs of the terrible and perhaps irretrievable conditions which exist under the foreign military rule in north China, involving a situs* tion not hitherto fully realized, even in Washington, and utterly unappre* eiated in the U. S. generally. The character of the in'ormation which has now come into the administration's possession is, summarized i n the following extracts from a communication written by one of the most trusted officials i n t h e service abroad and mailed from Pekin a month ago: "The question of raising the indemnity, though one of the most serious for the Chinese government, is not paramount All the people w h o are likely t o know declare that the Chinese peasant can stand no greater burden of taxation than in the past, as the question resolves itself largely to reducing the expense of collection, which in China involves radical reforms. Another proposition for meeting the indemnity is to prant lucrative mining and industrial conces4oas to foreigners, by that means bartering their independence and laying up endless trouble for the Chinese, which are quick to recognize the fact." Inquiry at Washington confirms the report that the U. S. is working, and finds support in its effort, toward the opening of all China, including the provinces, to the trade of the world. This does not mean the abolition of customs duties, but would make every Chinese city a market for the world's goods instead of limiting' foreign commerce to the few existing treaty posts. The project is one that appeals temptingly to the commercial interests of others of the great powers than t i e U. S., and, if it should command the support of the necessary number, hope is entertained that i t will indirectly aid in the settlement of the troublesome indemnity question. The report of Gen Ketteler, received at Pekin from Kuo Lu, differs from the other reports concerning the German- French expedition previously received. Gen, Ketteler's report shows that the Chinese troops did not leave the province till they were forced to do so. The entire brigade, commanded by Gen. Ketteler, met the enemy on April 23 and inflicted immense losa The report does not give the loss. The Germans had one officer and three soldiers killed and 28 soldiers wounded. The foreign ministers on the 7th decided to address a collective note to the Chinese government informing it that a joint indemnity of 450,000,000 taels would be demanded, and asking what method of payment is proposed. A reply is expected at the end of the week, which will probably propose to meet the indemnity by raising the customs tariff. A dispatch from Pekin, dated the '7th, says China will request the powers to obtain for her a loan sufficient to pay the indemnity as soon as the amount thereof is made known. She will also ask for an extra 20,000,000 taels to be provided annually according to the proposition of foreign ministers.

Tribes Trephined IfcaUa with fttowe lasttraoaenta. ' ' Pror W. J. McGee of the bureau of ethnology, in Washington, has received official permission to exhibit at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo his studies of trephining among the early Peruvians. He "will show ancient skulls trephined by atone implements, and in connection with thla, some animal skulls, showing experimental work done under Prof. McQee's directfon, using th* M m e fllnt implements which the aborigines were forced to employ. It is doubtful whether the ancient operations were performed for a distinctly surgical purpose or whether the operation was of some mystic significance. In some cases'the freshness of the wounds in the bone showed that the patient did not long survive the operation, and in one or two instances it is plain that the ancient operator must have cut down upon a large blood vessel, causing almost instantaneous death, but in other cases the operation was more successful and the patient must have survived for some years at least. Prof. W. H. Holmes, of the National Museum, will exhibit a dozen groups of models representing the domestic life of the aborigines of both North and South America, and will show also the houses in which they lived and some of the garments and implements of their daily life. This exhibit, although under the auspices of the National Museum.has been planned to supplement the regular ethnologic and archaeologic exhibit of the exposition, A Miracle Explained. Bryant, Mo., May 13th.—The sensational cure of Mrs. M. A. Goss of this place has sent a ripple of excitement all over Douglas county, and Bodd's Kidney Pi^ls, the remedy in question, are receiving thereby the greatest advertisement any medicine has ever had in this state. To satisfy the many inquiries which she finds it impossible to answer by letter, Mrs. Goes has sent the following statement of her case to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "I did not think I could live a day and suffer as I have lived and suffered for months, with Sciatica and Rheumatism. I used baths and liniments of all kinds. Two physicians treated me, one of them for two months. Nothing helped me in the l e a s t I never slept more than ten or fifteen minutes at a time. I was bedfast and had to lie on one side all the time, I used to wish for death to deliver me from such torture. "A friend suggested Dodd's Kidney Pills, and after I had used them a week I began to improve, and in about four weeks I could sit up in bed. A few days later I walked a quarter of a mile and back. I now do all my own cooking and housework. The pain has entirely left me and I am a well woman. I have taken altogether sixteen boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. Dodd's Kidney Pills saved my life.

The commission of the constitutional conTention which returned to Havana from Washington, May 5, presented to the convention on the 7th, at the letter's secret session, an extensive report of the conferences with President McKinley and Secretary Root. In reference to the third clause of theamend- During the past year or two a largo number of American settlers (those going from the United States to Canada), have made homes in the Saskatoon district in Western Canada. They have found the climate all that could be desired and their prospects are of the brightest. In writing of it a correspondent says: The lands for sale are choice selections from a large area, and every farm is within easy distance of a railway station. Experience has shown that this district enjoys immunity from summer frost, from cyclones and blizzards. The South Saskatchewan, flowing through the tract, is one of the finest rivers in the country, being navigable and having an average width of stream of 1,000 feet The agents of the Canadian government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in your paper and who will be pleased to furnish full information, tell me that within the limits of the tract there are two distinct varieties/ of soil. One Is -a rich black loam, and the other Is a somewhat lighter loam, containing a small admixture of sand. There appears to be no appreciable difference between the fertility of these two kinds of soil. Both are alluvial in their characteristics, both are marvelonsly productive, and both rest upon a subsoil of clay. The advantage of this formation is that it retains the heat of the day during the night, t and is favorable to .the early maturity of crops. Every kind of crop will here attain the highest perfection of quality. The land Is admirably adapted for stock-raising and dairy farming, as well as growing grain. Some idea of the richness of the natural grasses of the prairie may be formed from the fact that—more— than 200 tons of hay were gathered within a short distance of Saskatoon and stored up for use during the winter. A growth so luxuriant demonstrates beyond all possible question the suitability of the land for pasturing cattle, and no doubt this important industry will be largely carried on. Nature has been lavish in her gifts to this territory. Not only is the soil of unexampled fertility, but the climate is deligbtful and healthy. Such is the testimony of every settler, and this testimony isconflrmed by enthusiastic opinions from eVery traveler, explorer, missionary or newspaper correspondent who has ever visited this farfamed Saskatchewan Valley. .In former years vast herds of buffalo came here to winter from the elevated storm-swept .regions south of the United States boundary line, proving thereby the adaptation of these rolling prairies to the purpose of raising stock. The land is dry, with sufficient, but not excessive rainfall, capable of early cultivation in the spring, and free from summer frosts. The configuration of the country renders artificial drainage unnecessary, and prevents the accumulation of stagnant pools; mists and fogs are seldom seen. The days of summer are full of sunshine, under the genial influence of which crops rapidly ripen. Autumn is characterized by an almost unbroken succession of fine weather, during which the crops are safely garnered. In winter it is cold, but extremely ex: hilarating and pleasant, owing to the wonderful dryness and bracing qualities of the air. The winter is a source of profit as well as enjoyment to the people, being far healthier than a humid climate. Water and fuel—these two prime necessaries of life are plentiful throughout the district. meat the report stated that the u. ». would not intervene unless Cuba were attacked by a foreign power or unless there existed in Cuba a condition of affairs similar to that which existed un* der. Spain at the time of American intervention. Regarding coaling stations, the report set forth that the places so desired by the U. S. were Capes Mais and San Antonio, and another point commanding the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico; these would be definitely determined upon when drawing up the treaty and that the object of these stations would be the maintenance of the independence of Cuba as well as the protection of the U. S. The report also said that the U. S. would in no way interfere in the local frovernrnent and that President Mc- Kinley had promised to appoint a commission to meet a Cuban commission to discuss the economic question, and draw up a commercial treaty as soon as the republic is established. The representatives announced that Secretary Root had said there was nothing in the Piatt amendment to prevent Cuba having diplomatic representatives in foreign countries. The island of Samar, one of the Visayan group, has been transferred from the department commanded by Gen. Wade to that commanded by Gen. Hughes. Gen. Hughes has been ordered personally to Samar and if he is unsuccessful in negotiating the surrender of the insurgent, Gen. Lukban, the force of American troops in Samar will be increased and a vigorous offenaive campaign will be inaugurated. Provost-General Davis is preparing recommendations to submit to the commission for a separate scheme of city government in Manila. The commission favors a plan of federal center similar to that of Washington and the City of Mexico. Ordinances are in course of preparation. The military authorities at Manila have prepared a schedule and forwarded the same to Washington covering the sailing dates of the 10 regiments of volunteers still in the archipelago. Unless unforseen delays arise, the last of these regiments will reach home before June 30. tCol. Astilla, the insurgent governor or Infanta province,. has surrendered with 10 officers, 180 men, 107 rifles and 10 cannon. TRANSVAAL. WAR ITEMS. Private Mailing Card.

In the German reichstag on the 7th Baron von Hodenberg, the Guelph leader, interpellated the government on what steps had been taken to effect the release of the German missionaries now held prisoners by the British in South Africa. He averred that 10 missionaries were confined in Pretoria, and that there was not the slightest charge against them, and that their property had been seized. A general debate on the interpellation followed, several members strongly condemning Kritish methods in South Africa, Sir Alfred Milner, the Hritish commissioner, addressing a mass meeting at Cape Town on the 7th, said there was absolutely no reason for the anxiety felt in some quarters lest any change be introduced in South Africa that would in any way weaken the imperial policy. Such a change was impossible. Great Britain had made up her mind and would carry out the policy she had laid down. The report that a force of Boers is concentrating under Delarey at Hartebeestefontein is regarded with a feeling of satisfaction. The British force should far outnumber the Boers, and as the latter must by this time have lost practically all their guns, Delarey cannot have any artillery with him. This fact alone should place him at a great uisadvantage. A dispatch from London, dated the 7th. says that the health of Mrs. Botha, wife of Commandant-General Botha, has broken down owing to worry, and her constant journeys between her husband and Lord Kitchener, and that she is about to sail from Delagoa Bay to visit M H Kruger, and to appeal to him to persuade the Boers to surrender. The London war office on the 6th officially gave out the total number of deaths in the South African war at 714 officers and 14,264 men. Four officers and 314 men have been invalided home and subsequently died. Two thousand four hundred and ninetythree non-commissioned officers and men have left the service unfit for duty. ^ By the explosion of a boiler near Uniontown, Pa., on the 7th, two men lost their life. The River Raisin Paper Co/s plant, at Monroe, was destroyed by tire on the morning of the 29th, entailing a loss of 330,000. Information was received act Washceived at Washington on the 8th confirming a dispatch from Fekin regarding the amount of indemnity to be demanded. This total has now been reduced from something like half a billion dollars to 1337,000,000. CHASED THE SUPER. *»P»Wf,»«^fip»*J»»""*J" m*m0*-*mkm£B E **•*» rfce Bsettlag Baae Be* tbe Slave Some strange tales have been told by old-timers in the stags business about the Keans, both the elder and the last to be seen on the American stage. Some have said that hard study made them a little Wrong at times, and some of the things they did certainly InoVfld queer. It is told by an old New Orleans horseman, who is here from the Crescent City, that when Kean, the younger, was playing there* he nearly scared a super to death and came near "pinking" him. It was in "Richard III." in* the scene where he sees the ghosts. The stage manager was a lit" tie bit the worse for drink and determined to have some fun. He did not like Kean, as he was a hard man behind the scenes. Among the supers was a raw Irish lad who had never seen a stage before. The manager told this fellow that If he would run across the stage when he gave him the tip he would stand to earn $2. The poor fellow was broke, and a two-spot looked to him like a national bank. He agreed and the stage manager gave him a gaudy oilcloth banner bearing these words: "Smoke General Jackson Cigars." It was nearly a panic that this Irish lad started. He ran across the stage, and when Kean saw him he was furious. He made a lunge at tho unfortunate super with his sword, and as the "rag" came whizzing down to a hurry call he chased the poor standard bearer off the stage, down the passage and to the street. For two blocks he followed him in his Richard costume, and finally the super escaped down a dark alley. What effect it had upon the show the turfman does not say, but certainly it was only the super's agility of foot that saved him.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

In a recent letter from 5900 Michigan avenue, Chicago, 111., Mr. Moody says the following: "Porover twenty five years I suffered from catarrh, and for over ten years I suffered from catarrh of the stomach terribly, <« 1 have taken all kinds of medicines and have been treated ty all kinds of doctors, as thousands of my acquaintances are aware in different parts of the United States, where I have traveled, but the relief was only temporary, until a little over a year ago I started to take Peruna, and at the present time I am better than I have been for twenty years, << The soreness has left my stomach entirely and I am free from indigestion and dyspepsia and will say to all who are troubled with catarrh or stomach trouble of any kind, don't put it oft and suffer, but begin to take Peruna right away, and keep it up until you ore cured, as you surely will be if you persevere." "My wife, as many in the southwest can say, was troubled with a bad cough and bronchial trouble, and doctors all over the country gave her up to die, as they could do nothing more for her. She began taking Peruna with the result that she is better now than she has been in years, and her cough has almost left her entirely. The soreness ha3 left her lungs and she is as well as she ever was in her life, with thanks, as she says, to Peruna. Yours very truly, T. P. Moody. Catarrh in Its various forms Is rapidly becoming a general curse. An undoubted remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Prominent men have come to know of its virtues, and are making public utterances on the subject. To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease.

AND HIS "TUMMY"! Small boys, and many times large ones, and occasionally girls, too, big and little, suffer terribly from convulsive pains or "cramps" in the bowels and stomachpain so violent that it "doubles up" the ones attacked, and makes it impossiole far them to stand up. Some people call it colic, but most honest, plain-spoken people call it "belly-ache" and very properly, for the seat of the trouble is in the bowels, and caused by the violent efforts of the bowels to rid themselves of something which doesn't belong there. The small boy usually gets it from over-eating or from eating forbidden Fruit, and suffers mostly in the summer time* It's spring now, and "in times of peace, prepare for war." Let the boys and girls and the big folks, too, for that matter, clean out the dogged channels filled with winter bile and putrid undigested food, strengthen the 30-feet of bowel canal, liven up the liver, and "summer bellyaches" wiH have no terrors, because they won't happen.

A certain father is possessed of a pair of exceedingly bright girl children. The other day his eldest daughter, Alice, was putting her younger Bister, surname Gretchen, through Bome arithmetical paces, and the father was an amused listener. "Gretchen, how much do 12 and 10 make?" was the form of owe query, and, being correctly answered, other and similar questions followed each other in quick succession. The father believing the younger daughter was doing too much of the work thought he" would put his firstborn up a tree, and so he broke in with a problem of his own Invention. ilAlLie^!_ he queried solemnly, "how much do you and Gretchen make?" Without an Instant's hesitation came the reply: "Gretchen and 1, pop, make you a oroud and happy father."—Exchange. Stop tbe CouffU and w o r k * off the Cold.

Upon authority it is learned that while 183,000,000 is annually spout to educate our young people and children, 11,200,000,000 goes out for intoxicating liquors. Nearly fifteen times as much money spent to ruin people as to build them up! The Chicago Tribune is authority for the statement that the sa oou was responsible {or 531436 murders between 1886 and 1896. Taking seme figures of Dr. N. D. Hillis, who is so well known in Chicago; and New York, we find there are over 2,000, 000 niodeaate drinkers, and 700, 000 drunkards in this country alone. H e asserts that the economic loss to the country through these 700,000 drunkards is 17,000, 000,000, eight times tbe amount of the total banking capital of the country. To this he adds: "When will voters and home-makers learn that there is no question before the American people transcending in importance the one involving the eradication of the monstrous folly of intemperance—and that, too, not merely from a mo:- al, but from an economic point of view. God looks down with delight upon men who are in van. All history teaches this. * The men whom God has highly honore4 were the leaders, men who would obey him and dare something— dare to go forward—dare to lead his people—dare to reform customs of society—dara to knock to pieces any brazen derpeut that may be leading the people astray —dare to cut down the groves that Abraham has planted. Men who simply tell people the things they like to hear, the things they already think and believe, who simply express the people's thought in beautiful language for thetnymea wke-etdy do this get no honor of god or men, because there is little virtue in it. It is men who can strike sledgehammer blows at public s i n s - men who can deliver thoughts that burn their way into stolid conscience and lift men to higher levels, who are worthy of all honor. G e o r g e Washington's Lottery. It is not generally known that the great Father of His Country was on at least one occasion the originator of a lottery, the like of which at the present day would be forbidden to send Its tickets through the mails. That George Washington was interested in such a scheme is proved by a number of tickets still in existence which bear his august name. It was the Mountain Road lottery of which George was the promoter, and it is. of course, unnec- ' essary to state that Washington him* self did not financially profit from it. All the funds raised by the lottery were spent in building the road through Cumberland gap, near Fredericksburg, Va. Originally the lottery tickets which Washington signed were worth $1 each. Now, because they bear his signature, they are easily sold for $50 apiece, though it is certain that not one of them will ever draw a prize. •'It is with a flood.deal of pleasure and satisfactition that I recommend t Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,'' says Druggist A.

Tbe temperature in tbe upper peninsula was from 3 to A degrees above the normal, while iu tbe lower peninsula it was about normal. The precipitation was below the normal all over tbe state. In the southern and central counties the raiufall was less than oue iuch, while the normal for April is considerably over two, inches for this portion of tbe State. The natural result was that vegatation started slowly. Wheat suffered some on account of this dry weather. On the other hand, these conditions were favorable for the sowing of oats and barley and for prepariag the ground for corn and sugar beets. The condition of wheat in the state is varied, but in most cases, considerably better than one year ago. In some counties a large acreage is being plowed up, due to the damage done by the fly last fall. I t is to early to tell what damage the fly will do to wheat this spriug. Uunder favorable conditions the evil results might be great. Correspondents repott the flies are hatching out, but time alone can tell what the outcome will be. The weather was cool during April, so that the plant made slow growth. The oats were not all sowed by the first of May, and were sowed germination and growth weresluw ou account of the cool, dty weather. The acreage of oats sown iu the State and central counties as compared with 1900, is 90, iu the southern counties 95, in the northcounties 101. - » • • - » Notice.

The day after the assault two Spanish ladies, the younger a beautiful girl of 14, appealed for help to two ofQcers of the rifles, who were passing through one of the streets of the town. Their dresses were torn, their ears, from which rings had been roughly snatched, were bleeding, and to escape outrage or death they cast themselves on the protection of the first British officers they met One of the officers was Captain Harry Smith of the rifles. Two years later he married the girl he had saved in a scene so wild.

Pvtfaaaa* Qaun»t>**» Storr of Kellle sw« «**> Matchbox. Monkeys are always happy if they have plenty to eat and something to play with. Professor B. L, Garner, In bis "Apes and Monkeys," says that he recalls no investment which ever yielded a greater return in pleasure than a tertain little pocket match safe, which tost 20 cents. H e gave it to a little monkey, Nellie by name, after putting Into it a small key to make it rattle ind some bits of candy. She rattled the bos and found much pleasure in the noise.* I showed her* how to press the spring in order to open the box, but her little black finjers were not strong enough to release the spring. However, she caught the idea aud knew that the spring was the secret which held the box closed. When she found that she could not open it with her fingers, she tried it with her teeth. Falling in this, she turned to the wall, and, standing upright on the top of her cage, she took the box in both bands and struck the spring against the wall until the lid fle*v open. She was perfectly delighted at the result and for the hundredth time at least 1 closed the box for her to open it again. The next time Nellie received the match safe she was In ber cage, and through Its meshes she could not reach the wall. She had nothing against which to strike the spring to force it open. After looking around and striking the f box several times against the wires of I the cage, she discovered a block of ; wood about six inches square. She World's Longest Stairway.

A good story is told of the old Boer, Abel Erasmus, aud Lord Wolseley. then Sir Garnet Wolseley, in connection with Wolseley's campaign in 1879 against Sekukuni, the chief of the Bapedis, on the borders of Swaziland. After the capture of Sekukuni he was immediately brought before Sir Garnet Wolseley, who asked bim how he, a miserable Kaffir, living in a cave, dared to defy the great queen of England. The chief replied that he had been instigated to do so by Abel Erasmus. Sir Garnet in describing the scene at a public dinner given to him at Pretoria on his return from the campaign said that he wished there and then to let Abel Erasmus know that if ever be found that Erasmus had been inciting any chief to levy war against England and be was able to lay hands on him Abel Erasmus would hang as high as Haman. ^ f e w days after the dinner Sir Henry Brackenbury. Sir Garnet's military secretary, was sitting in his office when a tall, bearded Boer entered and asked permission to speak with him. "I am Abel Erasmus." he said, "and I have very Important business to do here." He explained that he had come to see Sir Garnet Wolseley. for he had heard that Sir Garnet bad said that if he could lay hold of him he would bang him. and so he bad come to be banged. Sir Garnet was in the next room, and Sir Henry Brackenbury thought it would be advisable to consult bim on the subject Sir Garnet, however, happened to be too busy at the moment to see anybody, and Sir Henry after reflection persuaded his angry visitor to take his leave and* allow the hanging to stand over for the time.

Do I in any way resemble the lost and found department of a daily newspaper?' "No." "Then why should I get tangled up with other people's property?' "You're afraid, John." "Afraid nothing!" net retorted indignantly. "I am looking at it from an ethical point of view.

It is true that nothing is said of the methods of spelling inculcated at the "wrighting School." and it is also possible that a clerk rather than the committee was responsible for the errors Df the record, but there is certainly something absurd in the passage as it stands.

The daily newspapers are much too large; they absorb so much time as to leave little for more serious reading. Sweden and Norway both boast several homes for unmarried women. One of these was endowed more than 200 years ago by a man who left the bulk of his fortune to his spinster descendants. Tne home is managed by salaried trustees, and the unmarried, woman who can prove kinship to the founder is entitled to a home there.' In the new mint in Philadelphia the United States will have the finest, costliest, and most complete moneyrmaking establishment of its kind in the world. The granite structure was commenced two years ago. and will cost about $2,000,000, including the mechanical equipment, costing $200,000. There will be 24 coining presses in the new mint. A physician who has recently returned from Persia says that the natives still believe that human tears are a .remedy for certain chronic diseases. At every funeral the bottling of mourners' tears is one of the chief features of the ceremony. Each of the mourners is presented with a sponga with which to mop his face and eyes, and after the burial these sponges are presented to the priest, who squeezes the tears into bottles, which he keeps. The Forestry Department of the St. Louis fair intends to have an exhibition that will be an object lesson to all who see it of the practical side of wood working in all its phases and branches. It will show the woods of the country and the uses to which they are adapted; it will endeavor to show where they grow, at what pries the standing timber can be bought, the size of the tract, accessibility, and everything that a prospective purchaser would want to know. Prince Alphonse, the nephew of the Prince Regent of Bavaria, is the man of the hour in Bavaria. He has received the "Blue Letter," which means he has 'been officially degraded. He was not severe enough to ,please the military, and the mistake he made was to manifest too much consideration for the horses in his care. During the last maneuvers, on reaching a steep and stony descent, Prince Alphonse ordered the men to dismount, so that the horses might 'be spared. It is claimed the order completely upset the plan of action. Popular feeling is intense against the authorities who have brought about the prince's dismissal. It is believed to be the first time a Bavarian prince has received the 'Blue Letter." The sumptuous chapel built to commemorate the many victims of the ter-' rible fire which took place a few years ago at the Charity Bazaar in Paris is now finished, and is generally considered to be exceptionally artistic and appropriate. It contains, however, a very curious optical illusion. The dome is painted by Maignan, and represents the Virgin surrounded by angels carrying the implements of the Passion, with the victims of the awful catastrophe rising from their graves at her feet. Seen from the right-hand side, the Virgin and angels alone appear, but if the spectator goes .to the left he sees only the unfortunate victims ascending to glory, the Madonna and her celestial host, by an ingenious arrangement of the light, being no longer visible. While a crew of stone laborers ware working an excavation through the Fonnan clift, two mile3 east of Newport, R. I., for the bed of the Tennessee and North Carolina railroad.they found a human female skeleton 19 inches in height, In a perfect state of preservation. The only anomaly was the teeth, which were 200 in number and had no sockers, but were developed from and grew upon the jaw bone with no adjacent valvular process. The bonoa we~e hermetically sealed and sent to the Smithsonian Institution. The skeleton was found in solid rock ten feet from the faco and eight feat from the top of clift, in a cavity two feet by 15 inches. About the cavity was no opening crevice or aperture for the skeleton, to enter since the formation ^>f the clift, more than 2,000 years ago. « l . . " ' t H P W MM. • i in i I, Second Attempt to Suppress Single Taxer Caused a Riot. 12,000 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED*' Mounted Ffclloe Were Assaulted by Howling Mob and It was Some Time Before „ the Blneeoats Succeeded In Dispersing the Disturbers—Several Persona Hurt* Blot Raged on Detroit's Streets. Riot reigned for a time in the streets of Detroit on the* night of the 10th, and a score of persons bore upon their bodies the following morning painful reminders of the mob's doings. Five policemen more or less badly injured by cobble stones and brickbats and more than a dozen civilians crushed beneath the hoofs of the mounted police and otherwise injured are the result of the madness that seized upon 13,000 people, exasperated by the attempts of the police department to clear the Campus Marti us of the orators and crowd-catchers that have obstructed this public square so many years by night. Not since the celebrated street car riots of the early '90's has anything like the frenzied scene been witnessed in any city in Michigan. Thousands of men gathered front nil sections of the city in anticipation of trouble, and assembled upon the Campus while it was yet daylight. It was after 10 o'clock before the 20D policemen called out succeeded i n dispersing them and the streets were once again free. The trouble was the outcome of the persistence of Tom Bawden, the single taxer, arguing his theory and congregating a crowd on one of Detroit's principal thoroughfares, night after night. Later—Peace reigned on the Campus j on the night of the 11th. In place of another and more serious riot, there was held a jollification meeting on the above night. Police Commissioner Andrews surrendered to the mayor and the trouble was all off. Weekly Crop Bulletin. The weekly weather crop bulletin says: The week has been favorable for the progress of field work, but too dry for the best growth of wheat, rye, meadows and pastures and the germinating of spring seeding. Very beneficial showers occurred in the upper peninsula and portions of the northern counties, but practically no rain fell in the central and southern counties and is now much needed. Wheat has made some progress, butcontinuesvery uneven and in some cases is being plowed under. Rye and meadows, although slow, are generally promising. Pasturage is very slow. Oat seeding is nearly completed and is germinating nicely, though slowly. Plowing for corn, beans and potatoes is well advanced in most counties of the lower peninsula. Corn planting has begun in the extreme southern portion of the state. Early potato planting is quite sjeneral. In the *northern and central counties barley and pea seeding are well advanced and germinating nicely. Sugar beet seeding has generally begun. Cherries and strawberries are in blossom and promise good yields; all Dther fruit prospects are generally jood. FIRE A T RIVER ROUttE. "T Nearly a Balf Ml men Dollars Worth oX Property pestroyad. Upwards of 60,000 telegraph poles, t w o sawmills, a salt block, a dredge, a tug and many thousand feet of lumber were burned in a fire that started shortly before 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the 12th in Salliotte & Furgason's sawmill at River Rouge, causing a lossof at least *323,or>0, divided among the several firms as follows: Western Union, Telegraph Co., $300,000; SalUotte & Fursrason, $50,000; John Brown lee & Co., $45,000; Carkin, Slickney <fe Cram, $15,000; Maltby Lumber Co.. $13,000: John Mason, salt well tools,.$1,000. Fanned by the furious westerly gale that blew fully 30 miles an hour at times, the fire was soon out of the control of the village firemen and was licking up the mills and lumber piles hUndreds of yards away. It swept over huge piles of lumber almost as fast as the eye could follow it, and in less than an hour had eaten its way from the place where it started to a point fully a half mile distant, where eight acres of land were piled high with cedar poles belonging to the Western Union Telegraph Co. The fire is supposed to have been caused by a spark from the smokestack of Salliotte & Furgason's salt block, which is immediately west of the sawmill Fortunately no fatalities occurred. Bis Salo of Stamp Lands. The Michelson & Hansou Lumber Co., of Lewiston, has just closed a deal with a company of Iowa farmers which disposes of about 18,000 acre3 of its siump-laods.—The 1 afidsr emtnracecT l i r the deal lie in Oscoda, Montmorency and Otsego counties. The Iowa people, under the management of Cephas Buttles, of Milwaukee, will open the lands for settlement and are already forming a colony for that purpose. This movement means much for this section of the state and especially for the village of Lewiston, which is now an enterprising village of about 800 inhabitants, but maintained largely by lumbering interests. * MINOR MICHIGAN MATTERS. Murderer Bramm Glveu Ills Liberty. While Eaton county people knew that James H. Hrumm, the Dimondale murderer, would be given his liberty is soon as the supreme court took up the proceedings, the announcement that he had been released on the 8th was a complete shock. Brumtn murdered Mollie Flagler on the morning of May 10, 1899. His only defense at the trial was epileptic insanity and the prisoner's murderous attack on Sheriff Shepherd in the jail corridor is still fresh in the public memory. During the trial relatives and acquaintances testified that Brumm was subject to violent attacks and they were always fearful that he would commit some rash act and in view of all these facts the prisoner is again turned loose on the public. DimoDdale people who were bitter against Brumm all think him to be a fit person for an insane asylum. The responsibility for the prisoner's release rests with Gov. 1'in- ?ree, who pardoned him on the last day of his term of office. MyaterlooH Drops of Fresh Blood. Again on the 6th it was reported that several drops of fresh blood were to be found on the face of the famous '•bleeding*' picture at Menominee. One of the priests drew some blood from his own veins and compared it with j the substance on the glass. The two were identical. It is said that when •>ome of the dried pubstanee c.ime in contact with the fresh blood from the iriest's wrist, it resolved itself into a .shape that strongly resembled the face j of the Savior. An examination of the i red spots on the picture has resulted in the discovery that they are coagulated blood. Dr. Venema, one of the leading physicians of Menominee, has declared so emphatically. ^The origin of the spots is shrouded in mysterj*. Norway's new bank will commence j business about June 1. Rogers City will soon be lighted by electricity. Forest fires are doing considerable damage in Wexford county. A fine new grain elevator is in course of construction at Verraontville.

The ice blockade at Marine City broke on the morning of the 8th, and St. Clair river is now free of ice. The Manchester Enterprise reports that sn»kes are plentiful this spring. Just a little early for snake stories. Wheat is said to have come through the winter finely in Mecosta county and to be in splendid condition at present. A dispatch^ from Algonac, dated the L'Oth, says that notwithstanding the fact that the ice is slushy the jam is still unbroken. Muskegon and Ludington are to be connected by an electric line, the council of the former place having already granted a franchise. A Jackson company is trying to lease about 1,000 acres of land at New Baltimore. It is believed there is a good vein of coal thereabouts. A petition is being circulated by the farmers between Milan and Stony Creek and many are signing it. asking for a free rural mail delivery route. It is expected that the work of widening the guagc of the Almont branch of the Pere Marquette railroad from narrow to standard will bo done this month. Alex: R. Avery, collector of customs at Port Huron, died very suddenly at Lakelapds, Fla., on the 0th. Notice of his death came as a great surprise to his family and friends at home. A rear-end freight collision occurred at llaisin, two miles north of Monroe, on the Pere Marquette at an early hour on the raoruing of the 7th, and as a result 15 cars were ditched.

In a report issued on the 0th the Chicago health department attributes an increase in the death rate to the craze for speculations in stocks. The excitement occasioned, either by losses or quickly gained riches, the report snys, has proven dangerous, chiefly to persons over 60 years of age. Of 500 deaths which occurred there during the past week 124 were persons 00 years old or older. There is an Increase of 26 per cent over the previous week and of 24 per cent over the corresponding week of 1900. Panama Canal for Sale* In order to remove the objection raised by the isthmian canal commission, the Panama Canal Co., with the approval of the Colombian government, has announced the terms on which it will sell the Panama canal to the U.

Good-bye, And God bless you, Rose!" (He kissed her hand, but she snatched It away and sprang Into the carriage. She felt annoyed and out of temper. tVhen tfhs reached home, she went up into her own room and stood before the glass. It was a very fair face that she gazed at—he had often praised it, •and she knew her.power well. * "And lie thinks I am going to beg and pray for forgiveness, does he?" she said, tossing her head wilfully. "We shall see, after all, what crime I have committed, that I need to tremolo and shrink from his eye., Tomorrow I will not—tomorrow I will show him that if he chooses to play the part of a tyrant. I do not Intend to take that ot a serf. He had better fetter mc ntonce.** •In that mood she went to bed. But ah! we should be very careful "how we part with those we love, even though they only leave us for a few hours, rjo "they • always- t'omu ba^k-?- Of if they do come, do we always know just how we shall meet them? It may fce as utter strangers, for aught we can say. I liave known those who have loved each, other dearly as they said good-bye, and yet within throe months they stood face to face as coldly as if they had never met. * But the case of poor Rose was even worse than thta, -for ftfe. Vere never came again. She had preserved a discreet silence as to this episode in her history on her return home. No one had ever heard her mention Mr. Vere's namenot one of her own family ever knew that such a person was In existence. Her woman's pride came to her aid. She learned to live without him—to fce happy without "him; yet he was not forgotten. And on this morning, when she sat In her own room.thinking of the paat, she had a letter in her hand from him. It had 'been forwarded with others from Mecklenburgh Square. The simple words set her heart beating, so that sue could scarcely see: "Rose—I was too hasty, and harsh with you long ago. Time has taught i me_ihat there is nothing so precious as your love7.—if 4—have^osTTtr^-am-p1' coming home to try and gain it again God grant I may not be too late. "Ever yours, "Stanley Vere." Coming* home, and to win here? But how, and when, and where? CHAPTER XIV. When and where, indeed? She could "not hope for a meeting so romantic as that of her two cousins had been; and yet, in what other way could her lover seek her presence? For you must bear in mind that the parent birtls had no idea that their scarcely fledged nestling had tried her wings in so bold a flight Rose in love! Rose, who had scarcely given up playing with her doll! The thing was simply absurd! So the young lady sat alone in her room, and stared at the letter, and wondered what on earth she should do, and wished she had a confidante who would give her some advice as to the best way of extricating herself from the dilemma. It would not do to speak to her mother, and Catharine would only laugh at her. At last she thought of Marjorie, who had a romance of her own, and thereby would know how to sympathize with another. She went. ^ She found the lady alone in the turet- chamber. Charles was smoking a cigar, in fear and trembling, in one of the empty attics, and at the same time setting a breath pf fresh air. So Rose had her cousin all to herself, and told ner tale without much loss of time. Marjorie listened silently. "Well,'* *b* said, when Rose had 4alshed. "the old fairy tale is true. The Princess Perfect may be shut up in the highest and most impregnable of towers, and guarded by the fiercest <at drafonvyet in one way and another . Pkiaee Imperfect will continue to get .•*} ftfct starrs, and fall a£ her feet all the same, ft is ccurlous, and, at the same time, very edifying." "B*t I am not Princess Perfect," said Rose. •True/' "Nor was I shut up in a tower." 4 "If you had been it would not have mattered. But never mind that—do you want to see the Prince?** "Ah, yes/ _ "That is frank and to the purpose. Why d\d you let him go?' "He thought I flirted, my dear," said Rose, firmly. "Oh, indeed," replied Marjorie, with a little cough.. "Men do take queer fancies into their heads now and then." "Very." "However, I will do all I can to help you—though, of course, you must promise to be very good, and never, under any consideration, to flirt again." "I'll promise." "Then the -best way is for you to come to us." "Where?" "I don't know—I'll make Charle3 take a house in town. Now that we have scared your poor papa to death, I suppose that we are not wanted any longer here." "Poor papa!" "Yes! but it will do him good in the end. Is he up yet?" "No ;he has had some gruel in bed." "May it make him penitent and more inclined to obey the orders of his superior officer, your good mamma. Where would you llkf us to pitch our tent in town, Ross?" "Oh, somewhere near Mecklenburgh Square." "Injt, if you like, Charley is rich, and can live where he pleases, thank goodness. Then that is settled?" "Yes." "And you will come to us?" "With pleasure." "When?" "As soon a3 we can get him back zo town." "And the preux chevalier? By the way, what is his name?" "Vere." "Of what county. Rose colored. "Really I don't know." "But where do his family reside?" "I cannot tell you." Marjorie elevated her eyebrows. "Do you know nothing of him, thon?" "Very little. But General Grantham, with whom I was staying at the time, introduced him as the son of one of his oldest friends. And he moved in the best society." "Well, time will show. At all events, we can scon find out all about him If we set to work the right way." "Yes," said Rose; and leaning her chin upon her hand, she fixed her eyes upon the glaring coals, and fell to musing about the lover of whom she knew so little. The door opened, and Mrs. Cowley entered, looking worried and perplexed. "I don't know what to do!" she exclaimed. "What is the matter, aunt?" asked Marjorie. "I wish we hadn't played that fool's trick last night. "Why?" Is papa worse?" asked Rose, looking up. "No; I can't say that he is really ill; but he seems so nervous and frightened. If the door creaks, he jump3; and I know what that feeling is so well. I hr.d it all the time when we first came to this horrible house." v "0h, he will get over that!'' "Yes; but, after ail, I begin to think it Vas not right to frighten him so. A gr€at, strong man does not faint for nothing. I can't think how I came to let you do it" "But as it Is done, let us try to repair the mischief, if any there be. Get him up, and send him down to the village, shopping. He will come homo &B blithe as a lark." "That is theVorst of it!" "What?" \ "I can't get him\up." "What do you mean?" 4H,e won't move. He says the whole house is full of ghosts, and that he means to stay where he can't see any more; and oddly enough, I heard him just now muttering to himself that he wished Charles was here." "My husband?" "Yes." "Then what can be easier than to tell him that his wish is granted^* "And that Charles is here?" "Yes." "My dear child, that would do ver; well with some men, but not with Mr. Cowley. He is as sharp as a needle; and if he found out that Charles had been in the house all night, he would guess at once where the ghost of the cabinet come from. And if he once found that out, I'm sure I should have a separate maintenance offered Jo— ray, forced upon me tomorrow." "Oh, no; not so bad as that," was ,t%e cheerful rfply. "I will manage it so that he need never know we have been here before. Rose, you have already lent me half your wardrobe: give me the other half—your out-door portion. He will not recognise your hat and cloak, I suppose?" "No." T T B y s ^ t ' v .."••'-'• i * » ! « * ' • . '•Mr "The* bring th«a> *** »«nd Charts* tome.'''

Mr. Cowley dropped the cup and saucer, and spilt the tea all over the f bed. "Good gracious! what can it be?** "I will go and see, my dear. Lie down and compose yourself." Mrs. Cowley went, and returned with a well-got-up face of astonishment "Well, what Is it?" cried Mr. Cowley. "Such a wonderful thing." "Out with it!" "The most extraordinary " "But what?" "In fact, I think the strangest circumstance I ever heard of in my life." "Confound it, ma'am!" bawled out her husband. "Can't you say what It is, and not keep me lying here in a bath of lukewarm tea?" "Well, Mr, Cowley, you were saying you wished your nephew Charles was here." "So I do. I'd dig the whole place up If I had him to back me, and never think of feeling frightened." "Well, Charles is here." "Nonsense!" • "I assure you he is. He has just returned from Australia, and he came to the door in.the_,gajUfiy JSy. .HeJiaa,, •been to bur town house, and Mrs. Gray directed him here. And his wife is with him." "Married?"

This ^rews is worth ten pounds, at the least We'll rout the ghosts out now, or my' name is not Cowley." "Yes, dear," replied his better half, meekly, as she helped him to dress. They went down to the drawingroom together. No more ghosts now —no suggestion of ghosts even. A bright fire blazed upon the hearthlour candles lit the table, which was .laid for tea. Rose and Catharine, in pretty evening dresses, ran forward to meet their father as innocently as If they had never dreamed of scaring him half out of his senses. But he pushed by them unceremoniously, and rushed up to the hearth, where Charle3 Cowley was standing, like a true Briton, with his back to the fire. "My dear fellow!" said the banker, shaking him by both hands. "You are as welcome as the flowers in May!" "Why, so I hear," replied the_ nephew"demurely. "You have been getting yourself into a bit of a scrape, I imagine, and want me to help you out. Oh, you naughty old boy! But let me introduce you to my wife." iajifiw •;* : \ft. It Seems as Though my Ihwk Would Break." m wi CHAPTER XV. Mr. Cowley shook hands' with Marjorie— decided, after his flrat glance at her, that she was a nice sort of a girl, and then dismissed her from his mind entirely. He was burning for an uninterrupted ten minutes' conversation with his nephew, alone, that he might relate the* wonderful things that had befallen him. Few men could boast of having seen three real ghosts, one alter another! And Marjorie, like the other women, was sadly in the way ju3t then. However, there was no help for it. Tea was waiting, and Mr. Cowley, junior, fell to work upon the muffing and ham, and tongue, like a man who had fasted all the way from Australia. When the cloth was taken away, his uncle breathed freely again. The ladies sat gossipping together before the fire. The worthy banker rose, nudged Charles in the side, and whispered, "Come with me a moment" Charles followed him from the room, merely pausing at the door to give a nod and a wink, expressive of great enjoyment to the group he left behind. Mr. Cowley seized his nephew by the arm when they stood in the hall, and dragged him up the stairs. A lamp was burning in the turret-chamber— a fire blazing on the hearth. Seeing this, as he opened the door, Mr. Cowley started back with a look of extreme surprise. "Why; those born fools cannot think of putting you here ,to < sleep!" he ejaculated. "Why no\?" asked Charles, looking extremely Innocent. 'hy not? The jades! I'll have no tricks played off on people under my roof. I know it is the fashion to put the guests in the haunted room, to see if there really is a ghost there; but, by George! we want no such tests here!

Severiaro <le Heredia, the miniettr of public works In the Rouvter cabinet during the presidency of M. Grevy, belonged to the fumoua naturalized Cuban family, of which another member, the Comte de Heredia, is one of the immortal 40 of the French academy. Most of the family nave dark spina, suspiciously mulatto, and other negro characteristics. This baa, however, in nowise Interfered with their standing in Paris, where several of the family have long been prominent. The former minuter had also been president of the municipal council of Farls and a deputy from a Paris arrondlssemeut. His dark skin led to a curious mistake at the Elysee the day after he had been appointed a member of the ltouvler cabinet. According to Immemorial custom,the new ministers called singly on President Grevy to nay their respects. Ou the same day, as it happened, an official visit was expected from the president of the republic of Haiti, who was to present his letters to the president. When M. de Heredia arrived in the court of the palace, the minor officials stationed there, who were not familiar with the new minister's features, judged from his complexion that he was the Haitian dignitary. The conrtyard became very ani- -mated with guards hurrying to and fro to their places, while one of the officers of the president's military household went to inform M. Grevy of the distinguished visitor's arrival. M. de Heredia received all this with dignified composure, for, never having been a minister before this, he thought this ceremonial was probably the usual one. Finally, with the beating of drums, he was ushered into the reception room, where the chief executive stood ready to receive him. "What," cried he, "It's only you. Heredia!" "Why, yes, M. le President," replied the puzzled minister. Grevy began to laugh. "Well," he cried, "you have been minister only 2-1 hours and have succeeded in turning my house upside down. What will you do later on?"— Chicago Herald. M««d««*a hr ftollt«A«. The Canadian northwest Is a probationary haven for wealthy young Bngglishinen of nomadic Instincts.

James Henry Barton was born in the township of Putnam Feb. 25 1851 and died in Pinckney May 19 1901. He was one of five children—a daughter and four sons: he being the eldest of tun sons. Two brothers survive him. He was a man with a sunny disposition and loving nature. Being in business in this village for many yearn he made many friends. He was married to Miss Jennie E. Clark Oct. 28 1884 and then lite together was happiness. Mr. Barton's health has been failing for several years. About three year* ago he was attacked with a,heart difficulty from which he never recovered. lie was by natuie endowed with a scientific mind and everything he undertook was, done thoroughly. A keen interest was shown in all that came into his life. No one loved a home and its surroundings more than he did. He was thoughtful of others and won the love and respect of friends and neighbors. With sincerity and reverance be turned his thoughts also to religion. On Dec. 29 1899 at Lis request the rite ot baptism was administered.

Are the village tales really true, then?" aske4 his nephew, with a look of the greatest interest. "What did they tell you?" "i*hat you were In a haunted house —With oot one or two, but a perfect legloa of ghosts around you!" Ale. Cowley groaned. "They are in the right. I have been introduced to four since my arrival; and if you .had not come tonight, I should have struck my tent and run away in sheer terror and desperation." "^our ghosts! You must be joking, uncle. You never used to* believe in such things, you know!" "Ah, but I do now! It is no joke, I can assure you, to see three such -horrors as I have seen. And there Is a beast of a cradle that will go on rocking tn the butler's pantry. You can't aee it, but you .hear it directly under your feqt*' "Ah! the girls were telling me something of that. But I confess I thought it was only some of their nonsense." *'l wish it was! However, now that you have come, I don't care so much tor anything of the kind as I did before. You'll see me through it, won't yes, ray hoy?" '"Through what?" <(Whyf Til dig the old place up by •the roots but what I'll come to the Sbottom of that cradle business. I fancy that all the other disturbances arise from that." "And I am very willing to help you." "I knew you would.be. And now just look around this chamber, Charles." "Well, It is a very pretty room." "We must sound these walls and take up this floor. There's something wrong here, too." "Indeed." *rWhy, I was sitting over in f cigar the other night, as innocent as a Iamb, When the door opened, and a great hulking nigger came in, leading a Weeding nun by the hand You young villain, what are you laughing a t r "My dear uncle, it is too absurd to think of such things happening in this matter-of-fact century!" •"Why, you puppy! do you mean to •aay I am inventing the story?" ''Oh, no; but you might have fallen asleep " "A likely thing for me to do! I tell you I saw them as plainly as I see you now. And the nun's hands were tied; and, by George! they came so d o s e to me that I could have touched them if I liked." "Why didn't you?" ""Well, if you must know, they tried to touch me, and 1 bolted." Charles nodded his head and showed U s teeth. "The wisest thing you could possibly •do, under the circumstances." "I see you don't half believe the story. But I swear I was not asleep. And that was not the end of it—for last night I saw another!" ~C-host?" •"^Yes, sir; and in this very room." His nephew looked incredulous. ""In this room, sir—a woman dressed sn red, with a black mask. And she held a confounded lock of hair in her hand that I had seen before; and her face You are laughing again, you unfeeling wretch! I'll say no more. Tft give no orders to have your room changed! You shall sleep here tonight; and I hope with all my heart •she will appear to you, and make you sing out of the other side of your mouth. Laughing, indeed, at such a story! I am quite ashamed of you!" And the worthy gentleman trotted indignantly back to the drawing-room, and never spoke to his nephew again that evening—not even when he took his candle and bade them good-night. CHAPTER XVI. A day or two passed before Mr. Cowley and his nephew could put their valiant project into execution; Meanwhile the ladies found the house exceedingly dull. The two g3ntlemen <»rere always closeted together. The weather was inclement; the box of •books from Mudie's failed to come; and, to crown the whole, Christmas was fast approaching, and they knew well that they ought to be in town, On the evening of the second day the/ were sitting together after tea, in^ Marjorie's little turret-room. Mr. Cowley and Charles were in the parlor, natching some plot against the ghosts together, and Mrs. Cowley gave a tremendous yawn. "So dull!" she exclaimed. "Rose, child, do read something." "Very well, mamma; here is the iaew book papa brought the other inight;" and the girl's eyes twinkled -MAacnieroualr as she began: T R B DOCTOR'S STORY. uOa my eighteenth birthday I com* upon the books of - — College. I had heard much of the vagaries and madcap escapades of medical students, " 'You will live!' I whispered. 'DrlnJi this—V will revive you.' "I snatched a bottle from the shelf beside me, and held it to his lips. I thought It was a cordial—it was a deadly poison! "He drank, and fell back—dead thl3 time beyond all hope of revival. But, as he died, he gasped out,,'You have murdered me, and to the day of your own death I will haunt you!'" There was a long pause. "Gentlemen," said Dr. Lee, solemnly, "he has kept his word, h e a v e n is my witness that I would not have harmed him intentionally—but I killed him! and night after night he comes to me. but, to my surprise, I found myself -j j c a a hear him speak, and those dreadamong a quiet and intelligent set of ful eyes look into mine wherever I young men, who seemed much more intent upon mastering the mys:eries of the divine art of healing than upon wrenching off knockers, and who i?eemed more inclined to mend bon?s than to break them. As I was studiously disposed also we got on well together. But w had an original character runong us—a deinonstralor of anatomy, who was on the most friendly rerms with many of his class. He was .*>. dark, silent, unhappy looking man, who seemed to have a most singular and unaccountable repugnance for all the details of the profession he had chosen. He would shiver if by chance he touched the skeleton In the lecture- Hall; he would turn pale over operations, and often faint in the dissecting- '•oom, scalpel in hand. No one could 'magine why he had chosen to study •uediclne. We often discussed the 'luestlon among ourselves; and one night, when he entered the hall scon «.fter we had been exhausting conjectires, an inquisitive student asked him point-blank the very question we all 'onged to hear answered. "Dr. Lee, why do you dislike the36 'hlngs so?" He was smoking; but he laid down his cigar, looking very fcale, yet seeming willing to answer. "I will tell you why," he observed. 'Long after I had mastered the science of anatomy, I received an invita- Mon one evening to attend a private 'ueetlng at the rooms of a classmate - a meeting where a fine 'subject* rvould be dissected by the fitments alone. I went gladly. The cL^rpoi lay 'ace downward on the floor, and they r»ere trying to lift it on the frv.se I had placed in readiness. I assisted hem; and, as I did so: I fancied I felt * slight pulsation cf the heart beneath my hand. But when we laid it on the board, I saw only a cold, pale face and a stiff and rigid form. It »as the face of a man some thlrty-flvc j-ears of age—dark and cold and proud. ?iven the heavy hand of death could r.ot erase the haughty curl of the lip or the settled frown upon the brow. His hair was long and dark, but slightly sprinkled with gray; so were tho thick mustache and beard. His eyes were half-unclosed, and through- the \ong lashes I could see that they had been black as ' night. The careles3 •hough rigid attitude in which he lay —the strong hand clenched, as if in fome spasm after death.. and those large eyes half revealed, filled me with 9. nameless terror. It seemed as if, though dead, he yet had the power to watch and understand our motions. I had never seen a corpse that gave me such a feeling before. Upon his breast and face was the stain of blood! I pointed it out to my companions. " 'Buried alive, most probably,' said one of them, carelessly, as he handled the 3calpel. 'He must have struggled hard, for he is a powerful fellow.' " 'Look at his hand,' said another, lifting it from the bench. 'It is clenched so that the ring cut into the palm below. Buried alive! It is astonishing how people cai> be so careless now, when they have not even ignorance for an excuse. There is something in this face that unnerves. Mr. , can you not close those eyes?' " 'Nonsense! let the eyes alone—he can sec the better that we do everything right!' exclaimed the third. 'Are you all turning cowards over a dead body? Give me the sponge. Who begins?' "He sponged the blood away. T stood near, still looking at the face of the corpse. The sponge, by some strange chance, had been filled with ammonia instead of water. The operator flung it carele3faly upon the board close to the face of the corpse. In an instant, as the subtle vapor found Its way upward, I saw a quick shudder pass through the limbs. The operator started away in terror. " 'Good heaven! he is alive!' he exclaimed, in a low, hoarse tone. "I bent over him. I bathed his pale face with water, and poured a cordial between his shut teeth. Life came back, hut slowly and painfully. "He was quiet in my arms for a few moments; then, with a desperate effort he lifted his head, and took In the whole scene at a glance. The lighted skull—the shining instruments, and the careless faces beyond—the love of life taught him what they all meant He was too weak'to speak; but he groaned, and looked up in my face with those eyes—and they were brimful of horror and despair. may go. My bitter repentance avails me nothing. He will always be beside me. This is the reason why my profession terrifies me. And yet some strange spell 'binds me here; I could not go It I would. I know well what the end v/ill be. Some day he will appear to me—to all of you—as I saw him that unhappy night. And then it will be my time to go." He ceased to speak,. and it was a relief when, a few moments after, some one started a conversation of the most Imaginative kind. Dr. Lee listened as we talked, smoked his pipe, but said nothlnsr. We heard no more from that day of the vision that haunted him. His fits of silence and gloom grew less frequent; he mingled more with th* students, and seemed in a measure to lose his dread of the deathly objects by which he was surrounded. One day, at the college, on my way to the dissecting-room. I opened the door of the great hall and looked in. It was empty and silent. The rows of circular benches were deserted, but a stray glove lay upon one of them; a faint and sickening smell of chloroform pervaded the place; and the foot of the suspended skeleton, whose grinning face was turned toward me, dangled to and fro. as if he was kicking it for his own amusement. I shut the door, and left him to the solitude over which he seemed to chuckle. • The air of the dissecting-room was never pure, but on that day it was peculiarly fetid and nauseating. The mingled odor of burnt flesh and muscles, stagnant blood, and a certain indescribable dead smell, such as any on© may notice on entering a room that contains a corpse, greeted me as I went in. Upon the table lay a headless body, the corpse of a man in the prime of life. I looked at it carelessly, wondering why the head had^been removed. Suddenly I saw somthing that made my blood run cold. The right hand was clenched closely. Upon the little finger was a heavy signet ring, and the strong pressure had caused the stone to cut deep into the palm beneath. It was a little thing, but it brought the murdered man before my eyes as plainly as If he had been lying there instead of that unknown corpse. Hurrying from the room, I met a classmate on the stairs. He looked pale and excited. "Have you seen it?" he asked eagerly. "TVhrt?" "The body?" "Yes." "And the head?'' "Mo." "It is the most singular thing—perfectly unaccountable. It gave me quite a shock, in fact." "But why?" "My dear fellow, It is the very face, feature for feature, of the man whose story Lee told us; and the professor, fearing some bad, if not fatal consequences from this strange resemblance, removed the head. It is lucky Lee did not see it" A "Lucky, indeed! I will keep him away today," I replied. I hurried to his rooms. Much to my relief he was there, smoking and reading. I pretended a severe headache, and asked him to accompany me on a long ramble in the country. He consented, and we spent a long, happy day among the green fields and lanes. (To be continued.) K e r p Your Children B u s y . Keep your children busy if you would have them happy. "When the occupation is some daily labor which has been wisely allotted, see that it is accomplished as well as 4t is possible for the child to accomplish it under existing circumstances. But whether it be in work or play, let him understand that no matter how well he may have done today—and do not be chary of your praise—he has within himself that which will make it possible for him to do still bettter tomorrow. This treatment, Instead of discouraging, will encourage, by Inciting the child toward even better work, and will early implant that spirit of divine discontent which allows of no absolute satisfaction in that which has been accomplished until the achievement reaches perfection. .This is the discontent which Emerson preaches and which is holy it doubt is not allowed to creep in to mar the aspiration.— Woman's Home Companion, A GIFTED AND BEAUTIFUL GIRL Threatened With Nervous Prostration, PROMPTLY SAVED BY PE-RU-NA. Miss Rose Cullen, President Young Woman's Club, of Butte, Mont, writes from 921 Galena street, as follows: "Peruna has many friends in Butte, I cannot say too much in praise of it. While finishing school i became very nervous and exhausted from over-study. I was weak and sick, and could neither eat, sleep nor enjoy life. A couple of bottles of Peruna put new life In me. I find that having It in the house and taking a dose off and on keeps me in fine health. «A large number of my friends place Peruna at the head of all medicines.*'—Miss Rose Cullen. where we thought all they did was against her. She weighed about 190 pounds when she was in good health. When she commenced with our family physician in April, 1898, she weighed about 130, but kept going down all the time. She went to Atlanta, Ga., and took treatment, but it did her no good. Then she went to Harmony Grove, Ga., and took treatment from the best physician there for three months. She kept going down under his treatment* although he was considered the best physician in the county. She went down from 130 pounds to 68, and we saw she could not live long. She was a skeleton. We consulted an old physician who told her to use Peruna. She gradually improved and got stronger. She has gained 38 pounds since she has taken Peruna, and is gaining every day, and does her own housework. "She was well known when she was so low, and now everybody wantB to know what cured her. She had indigestion and catarrh of the stomach. It is as good for children as for grown people. We haven't had to have a doctor for one of our children since 189i.M— W. A. Mitchell.

Beside, I was, so tired all the time. My face was spotted and I was very thin. I took one bottle of Peruna and was soon real well. When I feel tired and all run down I take Peruna and feel all right before I finish one bottle. I know it Is a wonderful medicine, and both myself and husband praise Peruna. "There has been a great deal of sickness through this part of the country, but, thanks to Peruna. which we use freely, our own family has escaped with almost no sickness at all. "Could you but Bee our baby Ruby, (to whom we gave Peruna for bowel trouble), you would see from her robust looks that you need no better advertisement in this little town.

"Lord KHchrner content* himself with the briefest possible bulletins summing up t h e capture* from day to day, and the meager prea* dispatches contain no details of any interest. Lord Kitchener's memoranda have proved that bands of guerrillas were coming1, into the British Uaes and surrendering, and that Gens. Botha and DeTdreyTTad met with heavy lemes in horses and cattle. The evidence is not yet conclusive that the end of the war is qcar. British reinforcements are still going to the Cape from Southampton, and the war office is not suspending i t s active preparations for a continuance'of the war. The following w a s received from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, May 13: Grenfelt has occupied Louistrichart, capturing 50 Boers, with rifles, Louistrichart was previously held by s i x British w i t h 40 surrendered Boers. Other columns report 8 Bod's killed, 30 wounded, 133 prisoners, 34 surrenders and a machine gun, 6,400 rounds of ammunition, 150 wagons and 870 horses captured. The report that a force of Boers is concentrating under Delarey at Har ebeestefontein is regarded with a feeling of satisfaction. The British force should far outnumber the Boers, and as the latter must by this time have lost practically all their guns, Delurey cannot have any artillery with him. This fact alone should place him at a great ui sad vantage. A dispatch from London, dated the 7th, says that the health of Mrs. Botha, wife of Commandant-General Botha, has broken down owing to worry, and her constant journeys between her husband and Lord Kitchener, and that she is about to sail from Delagoa Bay to visit Mr. Kruger, and to appeal to him to persuade the Boers to surrender. Mrs. Louis Botha, who has obtained consent to interview Mr. Kruger and urge him to advocate peace, sailed from Durban for Europe on the steamer Dunvegaa Castle on the 13th. m DUYINO PI8H« C H I N A W A R N E W S . Russia's efforts to facilitate the negotiations respecting China, and to hasten the withdrawal of foreign troops from the Celestial empire, is the subject of an official note, a copy of which has just been received in Washington. It contains the first complete official statement of the course of the Russian government that has been made. The statement of Russia's policy was made simultaneously with her official declaration that while maintaining the present temporary situation in Manchuria in order to preserve peace, the imperial government is content calmly to await events. It declares virtually that Russia has kept steadily in view the fact that in sending her troops into China no hostile inteut was entertained toward China; on the contrary, their presence was for the purpose of rendering effective aid to the government of China in its struggle against the insurgents. The answer of China to the statement of the ministers of the foreign powers as to the losses sustained by nations and individuals in China has been received. The answer commences with an appeal for mercy, saying that the country is impoverished. The answer explains that the utmost China can offer is 15,000,000 taels annually for the next 30 years. This amount will be derived as follows: From salt, 10,000,003 taels; from the likin U s , 2,000,000, and from native customs, 3,00(),000. The communication further asserts that were this done it would leave the country unable to meet the expenses of government without assistance. It is therefore requested that the foreign customs be increased one-third and the receipts therefrom to be given to China for the purpose of government The ministers re use to discuss this answer until it has been considered by them in meeting. At midnight on the the 18th Gen. Chaffee issued his farewell order ending the American relief expedition in China. The troops will go direct tc Manila. CUBA A N D PHILIPPINE NEWS. The IT. S.

Nothing is more difficult in marketing than to tell whether a fish has been properly killed. It should be killed as soon as taken from the water, but too frequently it Is allowed to gasp itself to death and then treated so as to appear properly slaughtered. The only aboolutoly oafo way lo to buy a livo flsh and have it killed before one's ey&a. This is not always practicable, but there are certain rules which, if observed, will result in the purchaser setting flsh of good quality. Fish purchased killed must not smell any different from ordinary flsh odors; they must have their natural color, and should never bo covered with slime. When the meat is slimy and fatty it proves that the flsh is not fresh. Fish, the meat of which looks bleached, with spots on the «kin, sunken eyes and discolored mouth and gills, should not be bought under any consideration. Fresh water flsh must be of brilliant color, the scales must adhere closely to the body, the eyes must be clear, the gills rosy. Slimy flsh, with the scales loose and projecting from the body, axe spoiled and very unwholesome. An "M. !>'•" Open Letter. Benton, 111., May 20—R. H. Dunaway, M. D„ of this place, in an open letter, makes the following startling statement: "1 had Diabetes with all its worst symptoms. I applied eveiTf remedy known to the profession, as well as every prescription suggested in our books. In spite of all, 1 was dying, and I knew it. "As a last resort, and with scarcely any faith whatever, I commenced taking Dodd's Kidney Pills. In one week I saw a great improvement. After I had taken live boxes, I was sound and well. This is ten months ago, and I have not taken any medicine of any kind since, and am convinced that my cure is a permanent one. "As a practicing physician with years of experience, I most positively assert that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best medicine in the world today, for Diabetes or any other Kidney Disease. Since using them myself, I have used them in many cases in my practice. and they have never failed. "I am making this statement as a professional man, after having made a most thorough test of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and because I feel it my. duty to the public and to my professional brethren. The truth can never hurt anyone, and what I have said is the absolute truth." R. H. DUNAWAY, M. D. It is no wonder that the public are enthusiastic over this new medicine, when our leading physicians themselves, are being won over to its use.

"Don't rutok of Coming, bat Com*.** To the Editor: The above is the emphatic manner in which a friend in Yorkton writes to a friend near St. Paul, Minnesota, and it is pretty nearly right, too, with the advantages that Western Canada offers to those seeking homes. The Assinibola district is one of the best. The writer from whose letter we quote goes on to say: "John, if you miss this chance you are foolish, for you oan get out cheaper when there are so many coming, and I would not tell you to come if I thought you could not do well, and if you don't come in the spring you will have to go away back, for you do not want to think that thero is no one living out here but us. I saw nicer buildings out here than I ever saw before, and if the country was no good what would they want them for? John, if you sold everything you have and came out here you would be worth more than ever you were before, and if you can bring your team. You can get anything you want on tick, and when they do that with strangers they are not afraid they can't make enough to pay for it. I saw as nice wheat as I ever saw in my life, and if they could not grow grain what would the flour mill be for, and it cost $20,000." Now this was what Mr. Thomas Fitzpatrlck, of Yorkton, Assinibola, Western Canada, wrote to a friend.

If t h e saloon is a divine institution, if it is founded on the principles of Christ, if it antagonizes t h e wrong aud adheres to the right, if it promotes peace on earth and good will toward all mankind, if it leads to morality, manhood and intelligence, if it discourages crime and vice, illegal voting and false swearing, if it is a friend to our civilation, obeying the laws of the land and houoring our nations flag, then there can be no two sides to this question. If t h e saloon is a blessing to the land of the "free and the home of the brave," then every patroitic American, every man who loves his country, owes it to his citizenship, to his own sense of honor, to stand by the saloon—talk for it, work for it, vote for it; if he is a praying man, pray for it, and if he is a preacher he is than a humbug if he will not preach for it. But, on the other baud, if the saloon is born of fraud and founded upon dead men's bones and broken hearts; if it is a system of blasphemy, attributing hell andall its works to our 1 eloved country, attaining the spotless character of C h r i s t ; if it violates the functions of home, breaks t h e heart of women and degrades childhood; if it destroys virtue, and breathes mildevv upon th« name of mother; if it stimulates licentiousness and fans t h e fires of lust; if it defies the laws and causes men to swear falsely upon the witness stand, or in t h e jury box—in other words, if it is an enemy to this government, a traitor to t h e flag, aud a foe to American civilization, a menace to the laws of o u r laud, then can anyone give a single good reason why the saloou should be licensed?

Some strange tales have been told by old timers In t h e stajro business about the Keans. both tbe elder and t h e last to be seen on t h e American stajre. Some have said t h a t hard study made them a little wrong a t times, and some of t h e things they did certainly looked queer. I t Is told by an old New Orleans horseman, who Is here from the Crescent City, that when Kean t h e youn Five years ago Bray ton Wright lost a padlock key and a small r-ing from his pocket. Search was made b u t no avail, and the lock has siuce hung useless on a nail in t h e barn. One day last week Airs. Wright was slicing u p beets to feed to t h e cow, aud as she whittled a large mangel-wurzel the knife rasped against hard substance. S h e examined closer and ger was playing there he nearly scared a super to death and came near "pinking" him. It was in "Richard III," in the scene where he sees the ghosts! The stage manager was a bit the worse for drink and determined to have some fun. He did not like Keau, as he was a hard man behind the scenes. Among the supers was a raw Irish lad who had never seen a stage before. The manager told this* fellow that if he would run across the stage when he gave him the tip'he would stand to earn $2. The poor fellow was broke, and a two spot looked to him like a national bank. He agreed, and the stage manager gave him a gaudy oilcloth banner bearing these words, "Smoke General Jackson Cigars." It was nearly a panic that this Irish lad started. He ran across the stage, and when Kean saw him he was furious. He made a lunge at the unfortunate super with his sword, and, as the "rag" came whizzing down to a hurryNeall, he chased the poor standard bearer off the stage, down the passage and to the street. For two blocks be followed him in his Richard costume, and finally the super escaped down a dark alley. What effect it had upon the show tbe turfman does not say, but certainly It jrai only the super's agility of foot that saved him.—Cincinnati Enquirer. olf Mrs Frank Sigler on Wednesday afternoon May,l5, 1901: Since hist, we met death has entered one of our homes,, and removed a sister worker, whom so many of us lovingly called Aunt Ruth.

Another odd cure once tried for rheumatism was burial in damp, warm clay. The first rheumatic burial took place at Menominee, Mich. The treatment was not a success, and this form of cure baa been given up. The freezing cure: This was first Introduced by a Swiss doctor. Paul Burdeyront He placed his patients in sheets immersed In ice water, packing the patient all about with crushed ice. This treatment Is today used in typhoid fever cases. Or the patient Is plunged into an ice water bath. The treatment saves many lives. Raging fever above 105 degrees P. has been brought down by these means to normal—98 2-5 degrees—In less than ten minutes. Neither of these modes of treatment actually freezes one. A physician of Paris. M. Figeau. introduced in 1890 an^ ammonia vapor method, which really froze the patient. The body was placed in a chamber into which certain chemicals were introduced. Ammonia gas. by sudden evaporation, then produced intense cold, and the blood in the body lost most of its heat. M. Flgeau's method did not meet with success. Some of his patients succumbed to the drastic measures, and the practice was abandoned. novo* MarrleeL "Mr. Buchanan, who waa the first bachelor elected to the presidency, waa 65 years of age when elected and had deliberately given himself to a life of celibacy," writes William Perrine in The Ladles' Home Journal.

In his old age, long after he had retired permanently to private life, he called attention to a package containing, he said, the papers and relics which would explain the causes of his youthful sorrow and which be preserved evidently with the idea of revealing them before his death.

Limerick, the most successful Irish lace, Is not really a lace at all, It is tambour work upon net and muslin. The Irish point, so called, is the ancient cut work, being made In quite the same way. Net was first made by machinery in 1708. The machine was an ^adaptation of the stocking loom to lacemaklng and was cumbrous and not very effective. In 1809 John Heathcbte. a farmer's son, evolved from consciousness and experience the first machine to make true bobbinet with perfect six sided holes. It brought a great hue and cry about his earTTrom~hrceworkers, who fancied tbey saw themselves thus reduced to beggary. The Luddites broke into the factory where the machines were first set up and made scrap iron and kindling wood of them. The only result was to drive the new manufacture to other and safer quarters. For long the secret of the machine's construction was most jealously guarded by English manufac- -turers^_NoL_satlsfled wjthjetters patent they kept up a coast patrol to makT sure that nobody took model or drawings to France.

Fish as a food of the brain worker must be consigned to the limbo of vanities, though certain forms of fish are the cheapest of all foods, notably the bloater. Oysters and turtle soup are frauds. It would take 14 oysters to equal the nourishment of one egg and 223 to provide the same amount of nutriment contained in a pound of beef. Salt fish, especially salt fat flsb, is the most valuable food for the poorer classes, and whole races in the south of Ljrope live on the Newfoundland rod. Cauned salmon we see at 18 pence a pound is no more expensive than cod at sixpence. Millions of people live on it, and the North American settler who is not well provided with cash finds it a good substitute and change from flesh meat at times.

Washington was forced to endure as a slave boy was the wearing of a flax shirt. In his autobiography, "Up From ^Slavery," he says: 'TTn~fhe~porTloli of Virginia -where I lived if was common to use flax us part of the clothing for slaves. That part of the flax from which our clothing was made was largely the refuse, which of course was the cheapest and roughest part. I can scarcely imagine any torture except perhaps the pulling of a tooth that is equal to that caused by pulling on a new flax shirt for the first time. It is almost equal to the feeling that one would experience if he had a dozen or more chestnut burs or a hundred small pin points in contact with the flesh. Even to this day I can recall accurately the tortures that I underwent when pulling on one of these garments. The fact that my flesh was soft and tender added to the pain. But I had no choice. 1 had to wear the flax shirt or none, and had it been left to mo to choose I should have chosen to wear no covering. "In connection with the flax shirt my brother John, who is several years older than I am. .performed one of the most generous acts that I ever heard of one slave relative doing for another. On several occasions when I was being forced to wear a new flax shirt he generously agreed.to put it on in my stead and wear it for several days till it was 'broken in.'

Her voloe had a certain triumph in it, but it ended In a decorous sigh. "I guess there won't, either," returned her sister Mrs. Kemp. "I guess Phebe Ann is too sick to think much about i t " Her voice sounded like Sarah's. litter Kemp dropped htr sewing for year, and thought so much about it." "I don't know - as I think it's too bad," said Mrs. Kemp. "Of course I'm sorry Phebe Ann is sick, but wlieu it comes to these flowers she's always covered Sylvester's grave with, Decoration day, I guess there was a great deal of it for show. It would have seemed different if he had been in the war, but I've thought a good many times, when I've seen Sylvester's gravi with more flowers on it than any of the soldier's, that Phebe Ann had a little eye to what folks would say, for all she felt so bad." "There's the band!" cried Lucy. It was a very warm day for the season— almost as warm as midsummer. The windows were wide open. The two. women and the girl leaned their heads out and listened. They could hear far-away music. Two little girls with their hands full of flowers ran past. "They're just forming down at tka town hall," said Lucy. "Annie Dole and Lottie are just going." "They came over here for flowers this morning," said her mother, "and I told 'em I hadn't any to give. AH I had was lilacs, besides that little early rose bush, and they'd got all the lilacs they wanted of their own, ami there was only just three roses on that bush, and I could not bear to cut 'em. The procession ain't coming—the music don't sound a mite nearer. It won't be here for an hour yet." "I don't s'pose Phebe Ann's husband will lift his finger to help us, even if she should be taken away, and ho left without a chick nor child in the world," said Mrs. Kemp. Phebe Ann's husband was her own dead husband's brother, but she never spoke of him by his own name. "I wonder how much Phebe Ann's: husband has got?" said Sarah Cook. "Well, I gues3 he's laid by a littla something. They must have, with no> family!" "Mebbe he will do something if it eveT happens that he ain't under anybody else's thumb." "It won't make any difference now He's laid under the thumb so long that he's all flattened out of the shape he was made in. He used to bow tclnd of sideways behind Phebe Ann's back when I met him, but he don't do that now. I met him face to face the other day, and he never looked at me. I don't know what poor Thomas would say If he was alive. I wonder what Lucy is picking lilacs for? Lucy!" "What say?" Lucy's sweet, thin voice called back. Her smooth, fair head was half hidden in a great clump of lilac bushes by the gate. She was bending the branches over and breaking off full purple clusters. "What you picking those lilacs for?" ^1 just thought I'd pick a few." "What for? I ain't going to have any in the houso!They're too sweet— they're sickish!" "I ain't going to bring them into the house," said Lucy. She let a branch fly back and went across the yard with a great bunch of lilacs in her hands. "I wonder what she's up to?" said her mother. Lucy returned just before the procession passed. The cemetery was a little way beyond the house. Her* rr->thcr and aunt, and a neighbor who had come in stood at the windows listening eagerly to the approaching music. Lucy joined them. The procesisan filed slowly past: The Grand Army men, the village band, the inlnisteTs- and--4oealdignitaries, and the rear-guard of children with flowers. An accompanying crowd thronged the sidewalks. "I re just been saying to Sarah that Phebe Ann won't have Sylvester's grave decked out much this year," said Mrs. Kemp. Her voice was pleasanter and more guarded than before. "I heard Phebe Ann was pretty low," said the neighbor. Phebe Ann's husband Went softly behind the nurse to the^ bedroom. Phebe Ann looked up at him and beckoned imperatively. He went ctoso and bent over her. "What is It, Phebe_. Ann?" said he.' "IB it—Decoration day?" she whispered with difficulty, for she was growing very weak. "Yes, 'tis, Phebe Ann," said' her husband. "Have you got—any flowers for— Sylvester!$ grave?" "No, I ain't I ain't thought of it, spoke louder than her tongue. "Yes, I will, I will, Phebe Ann! Don't you fret another mite about it." The nurse followed him out of the room. "I can't go to the green-house!" he whispered agitatedly. "It's five miles away!" "Land, get any kind of flowers!" said the nurse. 'Get dandelions and buttercups, if you can't find anything else." The old man took his hat down with a bewildered air and went slowly out of the yard. At the gate he paused and looked around. There were no flowers in the yard; there were several bushes, rose and phlox, but it was too early for them to blossom. Over at the left stretched a field, and that was waving with green and gold. Phebe Ann's husband went over into th*» field and began pulling the buttercups in great handfulls, and the grass with them. He had all he could carry when he left the field and went solemnly down the road. * Sylvester's grave was at the farther side of the cemetery. The old man. with his load of buttercups and grass, made his way to it. The soldiers' graves were decorated with flags and flowers, but the people had gone. The cemetery was very still. When John Kemp reached Sylvester's grave, h» started and stared. There was a great bunch of lilacs on the grave and three charming, delicate pink roses in a vase. "I wonder who put those flowers there!" he muttered. He laid the buttercups and grass down on the grave: then he stood still. It was over twenty years since the boy Sylvester had been laid there—a little soldier who had fought only his own pain. "I wonder who put those flowers theTe!" John Kemp muttered again. He went out of the cemetery^_ but Instead of turning down the road toward his own home, walked hesitatingly the other way toward the house of his sister-in-law—Thomas' wife, as he always spoke of her. Lucy's face was at one open window, her Aunt Sarah Cook's at the other. "Lucy!" called the old man, standing at the gate. Lucy came out to him tremblingly. Sarah Cook ran to tell her sister; she thbught Phebe Ann must be dead. "Do you know who put those flowers there?" asked the old man in a husky voice. "I did," said Lucy. Her face flushed. "I thought there wouldn't be anybody to see to it, now Aunt Phebe Ann is sick," she explained timidly. Her uncle looked wistfully at her, his eyes full of tears. "Sylvester was a dreadful sufferer," he said. Lucy did not know what to say. She looked up at him, and her soft face seemed to take on distressed lines like his. The old man turned abruptly and "Yes'm." "What did you put on?" "Some lilacs and—roses." You didn't pick those roses?" "O, mother, the lilacs didn't seem quite enough! Aunt Phebe Ann he always done so much!" Lucy said Her mother and her aunt looked a1 each other. "I shouldn't have though* you'd have picked those roses wlthou* saying anything about it," said he mother, but her voic« was embarrassed rather than harsh. She weir back to the kitchen and proceeded with her work of making biscuits for supper. The sewing was all finished Lucy set the table. After supper they went out in the cemetery and strolled about looking at the flowers, in the soft, low light "Who brought all th.a: mess of buttercups and grass, 1 won der?" said Sarah Cook, as they stood over Sylvester's grave. "I guess it must have been Pheb* Ann's husband—it looks just like a man," Mrs. Kemp repfted. Lucy go*, down on heT knees and straightened the buttercups into a bouquet. "I wonder if she'll liVe the night out," said Sarah Cook, soberly. "I've listened to near the bell tol' eveTy morning this week," said Mrs Kemp. "I don't believe she can live much, longer. I'd go up there tonight if I thought she wanted me to." The next morning Mrs. Kemp, list- WONDER WHO PUT THOSE FLOWERS THERE?" went away. "Phebe Ann is sinking," he said, indistinctly, as he went Lucy's mother and her aunt rushed to the door to meet her. "Is Phebe Ann dead?" Sarah Cook called out "No. she ain't dead." "What did he want to see you for?f asked Mrs. Kemp. Lucy hesitated; a shamefaced look came over her face. "What did no want?" her mother asked, imperatively. / "He wanted to know who put some flowers on-^-Sylveiter's gravtV "Did you?" "DO YOU KNOW WHO PUT THOSE POLOWERS THERE?" ening with her head thrust out of the window in the early sunlicht, heard indeed the bell tolling for Phebe Ann "She's gone." she told Sarah Cook and Lucy; and Lucy cried. They all went to Phebe Ann's funeral and followed her to the grave. Mr3 Kemp's and Sarah Cook's eyes wer*- red when they came home. "There were a great many good things about Phebe Ann, after all." Mrs. Kemp said "I always said there was," Sarah returned defiantly. The morning after the funeral John \">mp came to the door. Lucv answered his knock. He looked old and dejected, but he tried to smile. "I want to see you a'minute," said he "No, I can't come in—not this morning. I'm coming~before long. I hop? things will be different from what they have been. It was her wish. 1 went home that day and told Phebe Ann how you'd put the flowers there "d she beckoned to me to come and lean over. Then she made out to tell me. She wanted you to have Sylvester's money that we put in the bank for him when he was born. It's been growing. We haven't spent any, excepting for the flowers, and its near five hundred dollars. She wanted m* to give it to you right away, and you're going to have it just as soon as I can get it out of the bank. Pheb> Ann said you could have some more schooling and not have to work so hard. And I guess you'll have more than that, too. some day. if you outlive me. Phebe Ann, she thought mebbe I could make some arrangements with your mother and aunt to come to our house and live, and tak? care of it. She said she didn't want any other women in there. She knew they were good housekeepers and would keep things the way she did. You tell your mother I'm coming in to see her some time before long." John Kemp went feebly down the walk, and Lucy returned1 to the kitchen. The door had been ajar, and hemother and Sarah Cook had heard every wo?d. They were both crying. "Coming just now when we didn't know which way to turn!" sobbed Sarah Cook. "Poor Phebe Ann!" "Well,- there's one thing about it." said Mrs. Kemp, brokenly, "there sha'n't one Decoration day go by as long as I live, without Sylvester's grave being trimmed as handsome aa •' his mother was alive!"—Youth's Companion. MaKmg r7><r 7>ay Complete. There will be old soldiers at the Decoration day ceremonies this year who may never bo with us again; there will be children present for the first time, too. Then let us make the day a never-to-be-forgotten one for the child, a tender memory to the ones the old soldier leaves behind. The early inculcated lesson of patriotism will never be effaced, and a few words of appreciation to the veteran will mean more than will the handsomest wreath laid on his coffin when for him the last bugle call has sounded, . A FAMOUS OLD HOUSE. The house, of Walter Baker 6 Cow, whose manufactures of cocoa and chocolate have become familiar in th* mouth as household words, was established one hundred and twenty-ono years ago (1780) on the N e p o n s t river in the old town of Dorchester, a suburb of Boston. From the little wooden mill, "by the rude bridge that arched the flood," where the enterprise was first started, there has grown "p the largest industrial establishment of the kind in the world. It might be said t h a t while other manufacturers come and go, Waiter Baker & Co., go on forever. What Is the secret of their great success? It is a very simple one. They have won and held the confidence of the great and constantly increasing body of consumers by always maintaining the highest standard in the quality of their cocoa and chocolate preparations,* and selling them at the lowest price for which unadulterated articles of good quality can be put upon the market. They welcome honest competition; but they feel justified in denouncing in the strongest terms the fraudulent methods by which inferior preparations are palmed off on customers who ask for and suppose they are getting the genuine articles. The oest grocers refuse to handle such goods, not alone for the reason that, in the long run, it doesn't pay to do it, hut because their sense ol fair dealing will not permit them to aid in the sale of goods that defraud their customers and injure honest manufacturers. Every package of the goods made by the Walter Baker Company bears the well-known trade mark "La Belle Chocolatiere," and their place of manufacture "Dorchester, Mass." Housekeepers are advised to examine their purchases, and make sure that other goods have not been substituted. An attractive little book of "Choice Recipes" will be mailed free to any housekeeper who sends her name and address to Walter Baker & Co., Ltd., 158 State Street, Boston, Mass. Looking toward the Electric Tower, on either side of the Court of Fountain's, the great exhibit buildings of the Pan-American Exposition are seen complete in their architectural grandeur. The grays, yellows, browns and blues of many shades make a harmony of color that is a sight long to be remembered by all lovers of the beautiful. _ The decorations of Uncle Sam's great buildings at the Pan-American Exposition are exceptionally fine. Maroon and•> green are used and the effect i3 most pleasing. The whole dome is decorated with flags, and some 400 fl^gs. including the national colors and departmental flags, will be hung about the building. Are You Cftlng AUen't Foot Ka*e?

How gladly would men fly to woman's aid did they but understand awoman's feelings, trials, sensibilities, and peculiar organic disturbances.

"Resin eating," said a south Georgia doctor, "is a habit acquired by the Cracker settlers who live in the neighborhood of a turpentine still. The resin they use isn't the hard, shiny resin of commerce, but has been dipped ont of the cooking caldron nt an early stage vof the process, and when it cools it can be kneaded between the fingers like wax. The backwoods resin eater will bite off an immense chunk and chew it placidly until It disappears. The heat of the mouth keeps it fairly soft, but if the chewiug becomes too deliberate It is apt to 'set,' as they say, and cement the victim's jaws together in a grip of iron. "On one occasion a big, rawboned backwoodsman who used to bang around a still I operated came rushing into my little office, clutching his face in both hands and making a horrible gurgling noise in his throat. *\Vhat on earth is the matter?' 1 asked in alarm. 'Ills rosum's sot,' snid another Cracker, who brought up the rear. I was nonplused at first, but finally grasped the fact that the man had been chewing a monstrous slab of resin and had thoughtlessly suspended operations long enough to allow It to solidify and clamp his teeth like a vice. We finally pried his mouth open with a chisel and broke a couple of molars in the operation. Next day I saw him chewing again."—Exchange. Fish a n d t h e Alphabet. Perhaps the funiiiest thing to be told respecting the antiquity of fishing relates to the holy wars which were waged In ancient Egypt over the tinny denizens of the water, tbe conflicts arising from the circumstance that, as often happened, one tribe would Insist with the utmost Irreverence upon eating up the fishes which the Inhabitants of an adjoining territory held in divine adoration. The child of today, in learning bis alphabet, calls the letters by their m m e s simply because the ancient Phoenicians were pleased to make similar figures the symbols of certain sounds, and It is thought very likely that tbe Phoenicians have been driven to Invent that alphabet by the necessity of corresponding with peoples of various tongues Incidentally to the great commerce which grew out of the fishery. The letter "p" Is like a selfish friend, the first in pity, but the last In help,— Chicago News. In 1700 Pennsylvania had a colored population of 10,274.

The shark of sharks, the real "man eater" and the one most dreaded, is the white shark. This variety reaches a length of 35 feet and a weight of 2,000 pounds. Its head is long and flat, and the snout far overhangs the mouth. Its six rows of teeth are sharp as lancets and notched like saws. Its mouth is very large, so that one has been known to cut a man's body completely in two at a single snap of its cruel jaws and another to swallow one at a gulp. Near Calcutta one of these Rharks was seen to swallow a bullock's head, horns and all. From the stomach of another a bull's hide was taken entire, and the sailor who made the discovery insisted that the bull had been swallowed whole and all except the hide had been digested.— Ti>ntn t<m gtnpn>nh of nnothnr was taken a lady's workbox, filled with the usual contents, scissors and all. It Is commonly the white shark which fojlows the vessel at sea day after day and week after week. Langrhter. Laughter is a positive sweetness of life; but. like good coffee, it should be well cleared of deleterious substance before use. Ill will and malice and the desire to wound are worse than chicory. Between a laugh and a giggle there Is the width of the horizons. I could sit all day and listen to the hearty and heartsome ha, ha, of a lot of bright and jolly people, but would rather be shot than be forced to stay within earshot of a couple of silly gossips. Cultivate that part of your nature that is quick to see the mirthful side of things, so you shall be enabled to shed many of life's troubles, as the plumage of the bird sheds the rain. But discourage all tendencies to seek your amusement at tlve expense of another's feelings or In aught that is Impure. It was Goethe who said, "Tell me what a man laughs at and I will read you his character." T h e Firet Millionaire. Who was the first millionaire? Solomon? But come down to earth in modern times. Solomon's wealth was fiction, like that of Croesus, Midas and W r o t e Sermons I n H*IB Sleep. Narrating "Some Remarkable Cases of Double Personality," Dr. R. Osgood Mason cites in The Ladies' Home Journal the case of a "young ecclesiastic In the seminary with the Archbishop of Bordeaux, France, who was in the-habit-of-getting up at night- in-a condition of somnambulism, going to his study and composing and writing his sermons in the dark. When he had finished one page, he read it over and properly corrected it. A broad piece of cardboard interposed between his eyes, and/ his writing made no difference to him. He wrote, read and corrected just the same as if there had been no obstruction. Having completed his work to his satisfaction, he returned to bed, and in the morning he had not the slightest idea of what he had done in the night and had no knowledge of it until he saw the manuscript in his Dwn handwriting."

We returned late, and very tired; nod a s there were two beds in my room, Lee consented to occupy one of tnem, in the place of going home to his own lodging3, which were at the other end of the town. It might have been three hours later, when I was roused from a deep sleep by the consciousness that something was in the room, and bending •over my bed. I had heard the words, "Are you coming?" in a deep, low tone close at my very ear; but when I started up, I saw nothing. The moon shone In at the window, broad and full. I could discover nothing more than the familiar furniture, ami my little terrier, sleeping quietly on his cushion in the corner. That voice, BO deep and full, was still ringing in my ear. A vague terror was at my heart. I turned, upon my pillow. As I did so I saw—I swear I saw—through the curtains—that face! And the cold and gloomy black eyes were bent full upon me; and the clenched hand, with its signet ring, was raised to draw the curtains farther away. The vision faded. I looked over at the opposite bed. Lee slept quietly with a smile upon his lips. 1 was glad that he did so, even in the midst of my horror. I did not dare to raise my head again; but as I lay counHns the Blow ticking of the- clock upon the mantelpiece and expecting every instant to feel that clenched hand upon my own, a sudden drowsiness seized me, and, in spite of my terror I fell into a second slumber, as .deep and dreamless as the first. C awoke again and quite as suddenly. I drew back the curtain and looked out into the room. "Are you there, Lee?" I asked. No answer come. His bed was empty. I rose at once and began to dress. Far up the lonely, moonlit road i could see a figure hurrying toward the college. I knew that it was Lee. I knocked at the door of the next room, where the janitor of our college slept He came and opened it. "For heaven's sake, dress quickly and come to the college with me," I said. "You have the keys?" "They are in the hall," he said. looking bewildered. S. went to the nail—they were not there. "Lee has them—h—e has gone!" I exclaimed wringing my hands. The janitor seemed to comprehend everything instantly and hurried on his clothes in an Instant. Going cautiously down the etairs, We closed the aaU door behind us. We leaped the hedge, for the gate was still locked, •and ran swiftly up the road. But the lonely figure I had seen, vanished before we reached the college grounds. I paused a moment under the portico and leaned against one of the pildars to recover my breath. The great ball door was open; we entered and - stole up the stairs without a word. The moon lighted us. We tracked him through the first .and second hall, the lecture-room and the library. Then we found the door of the second staircase unlocked, and knew by the faint, sickening smell that came up that he had found his way to the dissecting room. We paused in the hall outside its door to watch his movements. His eyes were open, but it was evident that he was still asleep, and my companion held me back, whispering, "Don't make any noise that will wake him suddenly. If he finds himself here with that corpse he will die of fear. We must get him into the open air before we speak to him." The body lay as they had left il that night—a— headless trunk—carved and cut in many directions by ths scalpel. Lee bent over it with an absorbed air. One hand held the keys he had taken; the other grasped the cold 'douched fingers, seeking for the signet ring. "He found it—then he raised himself up with an anxious, thoughtful air. He walked slow toward th* window and seemed to look out, though the heavy wooden shutters were closed with bars of iron, and the only light tht entered came through the open door. f sat down upon the stairs and leaned my head upon my hand, for the £etld air sickened me. An exclamation of horror from my companion's tips roused me before many moments And passed and following his outstretched fingers with my eyes I saw Lee in the act of unlocking a closet •doer. "The head ia there!" whispered the Jasrftor. I sprang forward—he followed me. The headless corpse was in our path. Our sudden entrance jarrred the slight boards and the body fell to the ground with a dull, heavy sound, that woke Lee from his sleep just as the key turned in the closet door. "Don't look there!" I cried wildly. "Look at me, Lee only at me, and you are safe!" It was too late. That head, with the dark and haughty face (which at that moment seemed lighted up with a fiendish smile) was the first object that met his bewildered gaze. He started back—the sudden movement shook the shelves and (the head fell, striking him full upon the breast, and then bounding like a. ball upon the the floor. He gazed at it a moment with such a look as I pray I may never see in human eyes again. A sudden spasm distorted his face. Ho threw up his arms with a wild cry, and fell heavily upon the floor beside the corpse. I sprang to his side and raised his head. But it drooped again, till the dark brown locks mingled with the black hair of that head. "Lee, speak to me!" He was dead. "Oh, how horrible!" said Marjoric shuddering. 'Rose, if you read anymore such tales I cannot stay in this house!" "Very well,' said Rose, good-temperedly^ "I only wanted to amuse you and myself. I think It have done neither." She shut the book and going to the window looked out. Presently she stole down stairs, wrapped herself warmly in her cloak and went out to walk in the grounds. CHAPTER XVII. By the five o'clock train and coach of the evening a strange gentleman arrived at a little roadside inn about two miles from Holllow Ash Hall, and four from Banley. He was a handsome, foreign-looking man, apparently about thirty-four years of age—"A perfect gentleman!" as the landlady rapturously called him because he drank her weak tea without complaining and afterwards sat quietly in his parlor over the wine and cigars, without giving any human being in the house the least trouble. Secured from all intrusion, he watched the cold moonlight falling on the distant fields, and listened idly to the "Last Rose of Summer," played on a cracked piano, without much regard to tune or time, by his landlady's daughter, in the room below. He sat still and pensive "In golden quiets of the moon," and thought of his early, long-lost love, now so near him once again. Would any secret instinct tell her that he was coming? Would she feel his presence—his love—even before he had assured her of them? Who shall say? His thoughts grew dim and more indistinct. The song below, and the voices of the people at the bar beyond, seemed to blend in one low, continuous murmur, but faintly heard, yet soothing from its very indistinct ness. His eyes closed—he slept—but in his dream, Rose was still with him. He awoke some time after with a sudden start. The moon, now high in the heavens, shone full in his face, and showed the deserted street beneath. A clock struck upon the stairs. It was just eight. He uttered an exclamation of surprise, took his hat and cloak and going out at the open front door, took his way alone toward Hollow Ash Hall. And, as he walked, he thought of the quiet and beautiful English home where most of bis boyhood had been spent, and where, in after years, the Rose of his life had bloomed for him —bloomed, but never faded! Among those trees and flowers his heart got rooted in so deeply that to the day of his death the fibres could never be wrenched away. He had gone far from the place; possibly he could never look upon it r.gain; yet ever and anon, as he wandered through the world a violet springing at his feet, a bird Btnging in the air, a little of blue sky beyond the distant hills made him young again, and brought the old house so vividly before him, that he could almost see the faces and hear the voices, nay, catch the very words of those who were living there, and who had doubtless forgotten him entirely. He thought of those old times wltth a smile and a sigh as he walked quickly along the village road. He thought of Rose as he had seen her there, evening after evening, laughing, :H, V -singing and flirting—yet, certainly flirting, like a prince 38 of love smoother worshipers. He thought of s night when they had quarreled, and when he had left the house in anger only to return and hide within the grounds, watching her jealously, as the curtains waving In the breeze gave him glimpses now and then of the lighted rooms. Oh, what sighs he breathed against the rough bark of the tree which supported him, as he saw her beautiful face, sparkling with delight and laughter, turned toward the window! How, later on, he envied the partner who held her hand, or clasnei her waist! How he longed to be the flower In her bouquet, the spangle in her slipper, the very ground beneath her feet, so that he might be touchod of looked upon again by her. She had never known of this passionate devotion, and even, he, going to seek her again, was half inclined to smile at the remembrance as a folly of the past. It was dead, that feeling; his affection was more rational now, he said to himself. But was he right? Do such loves—does any love ever die? i think not. What has once been a part of us can scarcely fade into utter nothingness again. In another and more perfect state of existence, these elements of happiness, disturbed here, but peaceful forever there, will be our own again. Their parting hail been very much like all others, to all outward seeming. The tearful eyes, the halfchoked farewell, were all there; and careless eyes looked on and careless laughter arose around them. But I doubt if ever there was a sorer heart than Stanley Vere took with him as the train moved slowly away, as he caught the last glance from those soft eyes, the last wave of that snowy hand. In such separations pity is wasted on the one who goes; it should be given to the one who is left behind, to follow each daily occupation, yet forever miss the voice and eye that once lightened and illumined them. But the breaking up of such an attachment is no light thing, and to him the world seemed suddenly dark ana cold. Missing Rose, he groped blindly on his way, as if the light of his existence had gone out. In fact, she" was the only one who had stood between him and the world. Others might have a mother, a father, a brother, or a sister,- to stand between them and that harsh and cruel judge. He had but her, and when she was taken from him, all those sweet ties were rent in the one that bound them together, and he stood face to face with all the antagonists, unarmed and unshielded. He tried to supply her nlace —not because he was inconstant, but because he loathed loneliness. In every Instance he failed. Those whom he sought had other ties and friends; at least, he could only occupy a secondary place within their hearts. What was more important to him than this —they were of the common order of women. Their souls were narrow— brains capable of supporting but one set of ideas. Probably he wearied them, but it is certain that they wearied him most unbearably. Now Rose, with all her girlish fun and gaiety, had a noble soul, that fed upon high thoughts, and intimate association with such a fresh, pure spirit as hers had unfitted him for any lower companionship. So it came to pass that he still went on his way alone; and in the valley of humiliation, or on the mountains of peace, his cry had ever been, "Will she ever come back to me? Shall I find and win her once again?" He asked that question standing in the public road and looking up at the white walls and lighted windows of her present home. As he gazed, he saw a figure—a female figure —pacing up and down the lawn. His heart told him who it must be. In a moment he was by her side. "Rose! Rose! Will you welcome me back?" he cried in a voice that trembled with eagerness. And she, pale and startled, but smiling all the while, put both her hands in his. "Dear Stanley, welcome!" And so the question was answered. (To be continued.) P o l l Taxes In A. D. 1 9 9 . The Rev. Dr. William C. Winslow, vice-president of the Egypt exploration fund, says that in addition to the papyri recently presented by the society to several universities there is a valuable lot of forty-three papyri which have been received for distribution, largely treating of business and civil matters in the first centuries of our era. Among the seven papyri for Columbia university is a tax collector's return showing items and how the collectors made returns In A. D. 196. There were poll taxes in A. D. 122. The rise of the Nile was the greatest annual event, and upon it taxes were calculated. Hence one of the six papyri sent to Johns Hopkins, treating of the unwatered land tilled by Ptollarous, A. D. 163, la peculiarly interesting. She declares that her-field at Euhemeria did not get the-water. Her pleai In a word, ia: "No crops, no taxes" "I Followed Mrs.Pinkham's Advice and Now I am Welly A woman is sick—some disease peculiar to her sex is fast developing ia her system. 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 sav, and finally conceals what she ought to have told, and this completely mystifies the doctor. Is it a wonder, therefore, that the 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 i s t h e reason why hundreds o f thousands o f w o m e n are n o w i n correspondence w i t h Mrs. P i a k h a m , a t 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 the result of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. A l l 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; 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: *' DBAS MRS, PrwxatsUJ r—For two years I was troubled with falling and inflammation of the womb, 1 suffered very much with bearing-down pains, headache, backache, and was. not able to do anything, what 1 endured no one know* but those who haTe suffered as I did. I could hardly drag myself across the floor. I doctored with the physicians of this town for three months and grew worse instead of better. My husband and friends wished me to write to your but 1 bad no faith in patent medicines. At last I became so bad that I eonduded to ask your advice. I received an answer at once advising me to- take your Vegetable Compound, and I did so. Before I had taken t w o bottles I felt better, and after I had taken five bottles there was no happier woman on earth, for I was well again. I know that your Vegetable Compound cured me, and I wish and advise every woman who suffers aa I did to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Miss Kate Mayland, who is regarded as the belle of the Guadaloupe valley, had promised to become the young man's wife, and, as she was a great admirer of bright colors, had asked him to secure for her the plumage of a bird which she wanted to use on hdr wedcliag day. ©» • Prrwlpioe. The young man promised to £et the bird. He knew that a colony of the famous birds of paradUe had long made their abode on a precipice of the Gaudaloupc mountains. This range is a stupendous mass of granite, rising straight up irom the river 350 feet. About 91 feat below the summit and 200 aboro the water there is a narrow ledge upon which can be Seen a few stunted -cedars. Waynock was familiar with the -habits of the birds and went straight to the top of the mountain. He -saw & number of the sweet singing beauties rise before him and settle in the branches .of an oak that stood almost on the brink of the precipice. Raising his gun he quickly flred and one of the .birds fell to the ground. Waynock ran forward to secure his prize, but it struggled nearor to the bluff. Once ho had a hand on one of the wounded bird's wings, but it slipped from his grasp, and, in his anxiety, he slid after it again, reaching as far as he could. <Qvor I h o B r i n k . This last effort took him within a few feet of the edge of the precipice, and before he could turn back the earth began to give way under him. Slowly his body slid over the brink, Spreitenbach.

Before the Frankfort Society of Natural Philosophy Dr. Freund, in a recent lecture on the subject, said that though artificial silk can compete with natural silk, it is not as valuable. Artificial silk has been used as a covering for cables and as a substitute for horsehair, but it has a tendency to break if wetted,and, therefore, it must usually be mixed with natural silk and cotton. The artificial riTk is cheaper than the natural, and more brilliant effects can be produced with it. This industry, which is said to be purely chemical, is expected to bo developed to its fulleset extent In a tew years.—New York Pre£3. « » ~ . ~ — ™ — . 1 . - — .

Old man Joy, who lived at Japonica, happened to be riding along the road below when he saw the form of the young man shooting through the air. He saw the body strike among the cedars on the cleft, where the birds nested, and lodge there. Spurring his horse he set off towards his house. He had not gone far before he met five cowboys, who had just started out to round up a herd of steers, and on their way they met Kate Mayland riding on her pony. Shouting to her to follow, Joy led the way. Not until they had all dismounted at the spot from which young Waynock had plunged did the girl know what had happened. She proved to be of heroic mold, and when one of the cowboys peered down into the awful abyss and said some one would have to go down, as Waynock would be too weak to hold the rope, she quickly offered to go. A rope formed of the cowboys' lariats was secured around the girl's body, and with another in her hand, .she was slowly let down over the precipice. Jnat In Tine. The girl reached her sweetheart's side just in time. Already the trees were beginning to yield under his weight. Quickly she slipped the noose around the young man's body, just as the tree gave way. Then signaling to the cowboys she bade them haul Waynock up first. Curing all this time the brave Texas girt never lost her presence of mind, and i t was not until she was safe on top of the cliff with her lover that she yielded to the strain which she had endured and swooned in her lover's anna.

Mo., May 27th.—Four of the best doctors in the vicinity have been in .attendance on Mrs. Mollie Moore of this place, who has been suffering with a severe case of nervousness and kidney disease. Each of them told her that she would die. Hearing of Dodd's KidneyJMIls^ she began to use them, and instantly noticed a change for the better. Her improvement has been continuous since then. She says that the disease first manifested itself by the appearance of dark spots floating before her eyes. Her nerves were so bad that many times they would collapse completely, and she would fall down as if shot. The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills saved her after four doctors had given her up, has caused no end of talk in this neighborhood, and all are loud in their praises of this new remedy— Dodd's Kidney Pills—which' is curing so many hitherto incurable cases, in this state and elsewhere.

"Down near Nassau, for example .there is a curious sheet of water known as the Lake of Fire that is worth-going far to see. It is simply a phosphorescent lake, but its weird effects cling to one's recollection in an uncanny way. It is about three miles from the hotel. You drive through quaint and narrow streets, with only here and there a lamppost shedding a dim light. and past the open doors of huts whose occupants seem to fill every space in the abodes to overflow-lug. "The gates of the old estate of Waterloo have long since disappeared, and the house is in ruins, but you drive between the posts which, still mark the entrance down a grass grown roadway to the edge-'of this wonderful pond. The water is only a few feet deep, and the pond is scarcely a quarter of a mile long. We stepped into a rowboat by the dim light of a lantern, and in a moment, as the boat pushed off and the oars broke the water into ripples, we were surrounded by a sea of flame. The divers who swam about seemed literally merged in blue smoke, for the effect of this phosphorescence is more like smoke than water. It reminds one of the butterfly dance seen on the stage. The form of the diver is surrounded by a luminous glow, and the fishes take fright and dart away like little flames into the dark and quiet waters. It is a beautiful sight."—New York Sun.

When a boy throws a stone, he crooks his elbow and reaches back with his forearm, and In the act or throwing he works every joint from shoulder to wrist. The girl throws with her whole arm rigid, whereas the boy's arm Is relaxed. The reason* of this difference Is one of anatomy. The feminine collar bone is longer and is set lower than In the case of a male. The long, crooked, awkward boue interferes with the free use of the arm. This is the reason tbat girls cannot throw well. The government navy carpenters receive $1,200 to $1,803 a year. Only a fevv CHrpmters are able to pass the examination. PRIMARY DEPARTMENT.

Farm Journal folks figure that a cow giving 5,000 pounds of 4 per cent milk will produce only $.">0 worth of butter, while oue that will produce 8,000 pounds of 5 per cent milk will produce $100 worth of butter, and her calf is worth three times as much a s that of the first. There wlli be little difference in the cost of keeping the two cows, so that where the firxt gives a profit of $30 the latter will net the owuer $100, If we count the first cow's calf at $10 and the other at $30. Some people do not think there Is much difference In cows, but some cows forget to pay their board bills, while others take great pleasure in supplying the table with luxuries, paying the interest, clothing the baby and paying the hired girl. The good cow is a poor farmer*! friend. O u r local t o b a c c o g r o w e r s h a v e a fine c r o p of d o c k s comifcg o n .

In all these requisites the Mixed Paint of The Peninsular Lead & Color Works (Ltd.) Detroit, has never disappointed any purchaser. It is always as good a paint as pure ingredients, skilled experience and modern equipment can produce. ^ Why experiment when you can buy sure satisfaction ? • O L D BY T h e P r o f e s s o r ' * * W o o i n g .

American public schools and educational methods are going to the ends of the earth. Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii, and now the'Philippines, arc making the acquaintance of American teachers; and that they are good teachers is plainly indicated by the care with which the war department, through the civil service commission, is selecting them. Applications for positions are pouring in at the rate of twenty-five a day. Only those are chosen who are graduates of either a college or a normal school, have had several years' experience in teaching and now hold positions, and can offer conclusive proof of success, in their work. Emperor William's public plaints against the weakening authority of th? oxown must raise a smile in Turkish councils, where preventive measures abound. "Avoid suggestive dots in the_ body of an article,"_reads a recent official circular to Turkish newspapers; "they tend to raise suppositions and disturb the tranquillity of the reader's mind." Again: "Do not publish rrticles too long for completion in a single issue. ' The notice, 'To be continued,' causes an uncomfortable tension of the mind." Piquant formulas, certainly; only the sultan seems to forget that other phrase, "The end," which sooner or later must be written for all governments not republican in form. — \Voat her Croi> llullotlu. The v.eouly weather crop bulletin of the l'. S. climate and crop service, issued at Lansing- on the 21st, says that in most sections of the state the rainfall lias been sullicient, but in the extreme southeastern counties of the lower peninsula the conditions are almost droughty. Several sharp frosts occurred, which were quite general, but the damage, in nearly all cases, was very light, and in most counties confined to low lands; strawberries, early g >rden truck and early potatoes were affected most; in the extreme southern counties some early corn was cut dowq and will have to be replanted. \yheat and meadows are generally improved; wheat continues very uneven, some fields being reported in line condition, while others are very poor: oats and barley look healthy, have generally made slow growth. Pasturage has improved. Rye is heading and in general promising condition. E;irly potatoes have germinated nicely. Plowing for torn and beans is well advanced in most counties of the lower ^peninsula; corn planting is quite general and in the extreme southern counties nearly finished; sugar beet seeding is well advanced ;ind in Monroe county the early seeding is up, and being cultivated. With but very few exceptions, correspondents report that fruit prospects continue very good. The elevator cure is the latest. It is widely known In New York, as an elevator man in any big skyscraper will tell you. "Three out of every four women who ride in this car," said one of the Battery Park building employes, the other day, "are taking the 'elevator cure.' How does it cure? And what? Search me. The motion is supposed to have a beneficial effect on the circulation of the blood or something. Some of the men try it, too, but the women have it the worst. Whenever a stranger comes up to me and asks for a fictitious person, I know they are after the ride and nothing else. Some of the sharp ones generally pick out a name in the directory before they enter the car. They never go into an office, however, and always take the next car down." Aseher Gets a New Tri.iL Edward Aseher, convicted in Wayne county of the murder of Yalmore C. Nichols, was on the 21st granted a new trial by the supreme court. Ascher's case attracted widespread attention. His alleged victim was interested in spiritualism. He went to Detroit from near Ypsilanti to consult a ..medium. He made several visit*, anil on the evening of August 10, 1SDS. he was robbed, and his body thrown into the river. Stones were attached to the fe^t and bound around with copper wire. His money was gone, and his gold watch and other effects were in his clothes. It is claimed that he had worn a cotton belt containing S400 in gold about his person. The day before Nichols was found in the river he rented a boat at Belle Isle, Detroit, and was then accompanied by a man. partially—identified on the trial as Ascher. The supreme court finds errors in the trial of the case sufficient to warrant reversal. MINOR MICHIGAN MATT EH 3, Cart is to have a starch factory.

It vests the power in the state crossing board. The bill also provides for a general Already several steam plants have made experiments with the newly developed oil found at Beaumont Texas, as so far the tests appear to have been satisfactory. The Jennings Electric Light and Power company put in the necessary apparatus for using the oil as fuel, and began its use in its large plant, which supplies the town with light and power. At Houston a!so experiments have been made in the same direction and with satisfactory results, while several of the canal pumping stations in Southwestern Lo are getting ready to change their fuel from coal and wood to oil. If after full and sufficient experiments it is found that the Beaumont oil will be as cheap and as satisfactory in other respects as coal, there is no telling the extent of the demand that will be made upon the oil wells for steaxnhtfttlBg purposes.

ItovlHion of I'resbyterlun Confession. The important question of revising the creed, which for the last two years has been ugitating the Presbyterian church, came before the general assembly at Philadelphia on the 23d. The controversy regarding revision has led to the formation of three groups among the G40 commissioners to the general assembly. One group opposes change in doctrinal standards. Another is desirous of setting aside the confession of faith as not truthfully expressing the belief of the church. The third favors maintaining the old confession with a few modifications, and desires the adoption of a clear "declarative" statement, setting forth the most important doctrines. In answer to tho questions submitted to the presbyteries, 50 asked the assembly to dismiss the whole subject, one was undecided, four said they neither desired a revision uor a supplemental statement, nor tho dismissal of the whole subject, and of the 233 presbyteries, 15 in the U. S. and 10 in foreign lands, failed to respond. Of the remaining presbyteries, nearly two-thirds of the whole number ask for some change in the erecdal statement, 47 desire a re^ vision of the confession, 11 an explanatory statement, 1 revision and an explanatory statement, 52 a supplemental statement, 15 revision and a supplemental statement, 1 an explanatory statement and a supplemental statement, 14 a substitute creed, 1 an alternative creed, and G some change, not specified. The Presbyterian general assembly, by a vote which showed conclusively that a revision of the confession of faith is desired by the church, on the 21th defeated the amendment dismissing the whole subject ottered the day before by lie v. Geo. I). Uaker. of Philadelphia. The assembly decided by an overwhelming majority to continue consideration of the great question. Indian Oatbrcak Kxponted. A dispatch from Lander, Wj-o., dated the 21st, says an Indian outbreak is imminent on the Shoshone reservation. Six hundred Arapahoes have defied the authority of the agent, Capt Nickerson, who has refus d them permission to hold their annual sun dance and denied them passes. Trouble has been brewing owing to an order giving them rations but twice a month "'n.f. ;ut of weekly, as heretofore, and i'.c failure r>f the government to issue sped grain *or sowing.

For all practical purposes the work of the present session will be brought to a close at noon on the 20th, the senate concurring in the house resolution Carnegie's IJlff Gift Gets a Cold Welcome. Scotland is not very enthusiastic over Andrew Carnegie's gift of $10,000,- 0()0 to establish free education in four Scotch universities, Edinburg, Glasgow, Aberdeen and St Andrews. Carnegie stipulated that the beneficiaries be his "Scotch fellow countrymen" only, no English, Irish, colonials or foreigners. Accordiiig to the education authorities the administration of Mr. Carnegie's gift presents considerable difficulties and for this reason the Scotch papers for the present, are rather looking the gift horse in the mouth, while the English press is inclined to cavil at the method of Mr. Carnegie's munificence.

He W m t'njuntly Ptmlahed, hut He Forgave the Oflfenne. After his graduation from Harvard college Phillips Brooks became a teacher in the Boston Latin school. And here, on the very threshold of his career, he met with failure. So much had been expected of him that his want of success was naturally a subject of much comment at the time, and after lie had. become a great preacher his early failure was still referred to and sometimes was used to point a moral. It was a turbulent class that Phillips Brooks had to teach. Before he took charge of it three teachers had been driven away. The man who followed Mr. Brooks, to fill out the year, confessed himself so wearied by the frequent resort to corporal punishment that he was obliged to betake himself to the mountains for the summer to recuperate .his strength. The boys were certainly in fault, but the blame was not wholly theirs, and long slnco they may be supposed to have repented -of their mischief. Phillips Brooks was then not yet 20 years old, little more than a boy. Naturally, perhaps, he made mistakes. On one occasion, says his biographer, he punished a boy who had committed no fault. After Mr. Brooks had become bishop of Massachusetts, as be was moving in his majestic dignity across Boston Common, he met this boy, then a mature man occupying a post of trust and Influence. Neither man had forgotten the incident. Looking down upon his old pupil, the bishop made a certain appeal for forgiveness. "Tell me, now," he said, "that I did not make a mistake and punish the wrong boy." "Yes. you did make a mistake. You punished the wrong boy," was the answer, "but I have missed so many punishments that 1 deserved that 1 ought to be grateful for that one, which I did not deserve^—Yjmlhjs^on.inauion. A Corloua Chinese Custom. According to the rule sanctioned by .centuries of Chinese observance, no -document can have the authority of the imperial throne of China unless it bears a red spot placed there by the sovereign. To the grand council the tsungli- yamen and all other departments of state take their business, and the grand council in its turn considers all documents and attaches, to each a piece of red paper ou which its own decision is written. Each morning at daybreak the grand council proceeds to the palace!- to_sJubmit the papers to the sover^ eign, who as each document is produced signifies approval by making a small spot with a brush on the margin of the red paper. With the red spot upon it tiie paper is the most sacred thing in the world to a Chinaman; without it it may be torn to shreds with impunity.— Leslie's Weekly. IA8T PUTNAM. Mrs. J. B.

He went to England for a well earned holiday. He was shown over a celebrated fruit garden there. He was observed to be sniffing about as if something were wrong. They asked him what was the matter.

The seed will have to be looked after to keep , it from sprouting, j TJita can be done by spreading it out j thinly in a light place and shoveling it • over about twice a week. It will wilt j and shrink up some, but this won't hurt it. It can be Cut a few days before planting if kept dry and protected from the sun. If you have no regular potato planter, furrow out deep with a shovel plow and cover with something drawn by the team. If the sun shines hot, the seed should be covered as fast as dropped, for the hot sun will soon Injure it as it lies in the furrows. Uuu the harrow over the patch once or twice before the vines come up, and you will get rid of nearly all weeds. The potatoes will come up in about a week if the weather is warm and the ground damp and continue to grow from the start. Planting at this time of the year will bring it out of season for the first crop of bugs, and by the time the second crop comes on the vines will not bother much. Bugs don't like rank vines, as they don't seem to be just suited to their taste. The vines will be small without any tubers on them in the dry part of the season, and by the time fall rains come the potatoes will be formed and large enough to require all the moisture there is likely to be, and they will grow very rapidly. They should not be dug until the vines are killed by the frost, and it is always best to let them remain in the ground for some time after, as they will ripen up and be of better quality. They should be dug before too hard freezing and before the ground becomes soft and muddy, iiour judgment must be used in these things. If not muddy, they can be picked up without waiting for them to dry and stored as fast as dug. It won't hurt them to store when damp, as they always have to go through the sweat when stored in large piles, concludes I. U. Cowdrey of Michigan, writing to Ohio Farmer. eis tne rack is lifted from the wagon, being gradually raised as the wagon passes along. i N u t r i t i o n In Short Grass. Such dry seasons as that of 1900 seem not to be so disastrous to the stock industry as might be expwied. The short, dry grass produced in such seasons is apparently more nutritious than the longer, softer grass of wet seasons, and stock keeps in better condition when supplied with large quantities of the ta41. soft grass. The chief fear of the stock grower in dry seasons is that he will not be able to cut sufficient quantities of hay for winter feeding. THE HORSE TO RAISE. The One P a r E x c e l l e n c e F o r t h e F a r m e r — A l w a y s HUB Biff V a l u e . l)r«ift horses of good/form sell almost according to weight, except that1 as weights increase prices rise at a much greater ratio, so that extreme weights bring enormous prices if only the boue is satisfactory. Prices range from $123 to $300, with an occasional one higher aud with an increase of about 10 per cent when matched in teams. These pr4ces—are sometimes exceeded, and dealers iusist that prices were never so low that a span of draft horses would not bring $000 if only they were good enough. This is par excellence the horse for the farmer to raise. Only the blood of the best draft breeds and the heaviest and best boned stallions is suitable. Even then the demand for extreme weights necessitates the use of large mares that are good milkers. In no other way can colts be produced with sufficient bone and feeding quality to attain the size and finish demanded by the markets. Even then the youngster must be supplied with the best of feed in large amounts from the very first. Plenty of good pasture, clover hay, oats and corn is imperative, and there is no better feed for young horses than green corn cut from the field aud fed whole. Only the best blood should be used, and then every effort must be made to keep the horse gaining from the first If he is tjo top the market. All this is much like growing beef, and these are the horses to produce on the farms. They can be produced nowhere else to advantage* and when it is remembered that the draft horse is really the highest priced standard horse in the market it is easy enough to see what horse the farmer should raise. He not only sells for more average money, but if bred with the same care there are fewer culls, and no training Is required beyond light tfomihon work to familiarize him with the harness and with drawing. The disposition of the draft horse Is so docile and his ancestors have labored so long that he works almost by instinct, and he requires no special training to go upon the markets,—E. Davenport. HARD ON SMOKERS. Old Time Legislation Affalntt the Use of Tobacco. It is one of the curiosities of old time legislation that the use of tobacco was In early colonial days regarded by the magistrates and elders as far more injurious, degrading and sinful than that of intoxicating liquors. Both the use and the planting of the weed were forbidden, the cultivation of it being permitted only in small quantities, "for meere necessitie, for phisick, for preservation of the health, and that the same be taken privately by anncient men." But the "creature called tobacko" seemed to have an indestructible life. Mrs. Alice M. Earle writes of these early restrictions about tobacco in "Stagecoach and Tavern Days:" Landlords were ordered not to "suffer any tobacco to be taken into their houses" ou penalty of a fine to t h e . "victualler" and another to "the party that takes it." The laws were constantly altered and enforced, and still tobacco was grown and was smoked. No one could take it "publlcquely" nor in his own house or anywhere else before strangers. Two men were forbidden to smoke together. No one could smoke within two miles of the meeting house on the Sabbath day. There were wicked backsliders who were caught smoking around the corner of the meeting house and others on the street, and they were fined and set in the stocks and In cages. Until within a few years there were New Englaud towns where tobacco smoking in the streets was prohibited, and innocent cigar loving travelers were astounded at being requested to cease smoking. Mr. Drake wrote in 18S0 that he knew men, then living, who had had to plead guilty or not guilty in a Boston police court for smoking in the streets of Boston. In Connecticut in early days a great indulgence was permitted to travelers— a man could smoke once during a journey of ten miles. H a y r a c k Unloaded W i t h o u t Lifting.

C e l e b r a t e d MiiNtdmi's A d v e n t u r e In a Swiss C o u n t r y V i l l a g e . The late Sir Jchn Staiuer, one of Eiipliind's most celebrated musicians and composers, was several years ago in a small Swiss village, and the English clergyman was on the lookout for a musician to assist at the service. Stabler- was in the smoking room of the hotel Winn the clergyman found him find started the conversation with "Do you play the harmonium?" "A little," was the reply of the ex-organist of St. Paul's cathedral. "Will you, then, be good enough to help us out of our difficulty on SundayV We will read the psalms, and the hymns shall be the simplest 1 can select," added ] the delighted parson. " 1 . will do my best." said Stainer. with a smile. The service passed off all right, but the congregation, instead of rushing away at the close, listened to a brilliant recital. When the parson heard the name of his assistant, he asked him to dinner. "Do you smokeV" he said at the close. "1 will do my best," muttered Stainer, and the ensuing laughter was the prologue of an entertaining exchange of Oxford reminiscences. Stainer was a great story teller. One anecdote he was fond of relating had reference to the days when there were amateur orchestras in churches. The "Messiah" was being sung, and as the line "Who is the King of Glory?" approached the man playing double bass whispered to the violoncellist in front of him, "Let us have your rosirr, and F will show 'em who is the king of glory !'V London Tit-Bits.

It was a beautiful morn tng-*-almoat safmlid «s (f It had been autumn, rathe* than a December day. The sun had advanced just high enough in the tioarons to pour down his mildest and warmest beams, and the near village suul the distant hills were bathed in <ft* golden light, as, of old, the fair Sjdeu spread its beauty forth f~r mam's admiring eyes. It was a Messed day. The most oareJes* heart oould but drink In its beauty iu a thankful mood; the fresh, ejjpreet air brought a color to the most oallid cheek. It was hard to look out open the glorious scene and realize tfcat a world so lovely and so fair should be the home and haunt of all Uhat was contemptible and base-^-that t&6 serpent Slander and the gaunt ifend Care, and the demon of Murder, with his red right hand, could fling a shadow over all this beauty and cause each heart that had loved it once, almost to curse its memory in after years. And yet, even the singing of the blithe birds on that lovely winter's day seemed to say that this might be so— seemed to say that the little children sfeoxtlng joyously in the village street might live to feel that blighting scorn which worldly spirits only understand; that those pleasant rustic homes, scattered, like visible blessings here and taera,. might be the haunts of fiends in human form, and the burial place of the heart's best affection?. For the singing of the birds, in some strange way, seemed to speak that morning of one sorely tried and temptoft in her earthly pilgrimage, but now *$ rest where no earthly malice could disturb her—of one whose sweet eyes would have gazed in calm contemplaf$ Dn on that lovely scene, had no false words ever kindled the flame of love NSjHShin her breast, and then left it to "^> out in darkness, in bitternczs, in ; tears and death! Yet, on that lovely day, a deed ap- • jaarently ansuited to the sylvan IQVOtfness of the scene, was about ta be • dene. On that day, the record of the past was to be rudely searched—the g^ve made to give up its secrets and its dead. Having undertaken the task, Mr. • Cowley was determined to accomplish it; and yet, he would have giver worlds, as the hour drew nigh, that ~ Ife had never meddled with the matter— never come to Hollow Ash Hall. His nephew also seemed nervous and ill at ease. As for the ladies, they scarcely spoke, but sat huddled * eogethor over the drawing-room fire— all except Rose, and she was wandering over the house like an uneasy : spirit, till at last they missed her endfceir. The morning was rapidly wanin? away, and at last Mr. Cowley rose fcfSnm his easy-chair with the air of a inan who had made up his mind beyond the power of a change. "Come, Charies, let us get it over," he-said, gravely. They wont out Into the hall. Rose inet them there, and by her side stood a tall and handsome gentleman, with a foreign air and appearance. "Father/' said the girl eagerly, come hack into the library for a moment. This gentleman knows the secret of the haunted house, and is about to teU i t to you." Mr. Cowley started, as well he might. "And who may this gentleman be?" he asked, somewhat stiffly. "A friend of the Vernons," was the quick reply. "Let him tell you the atory of the haunted room/' They went back Into the library together, and this was the substance o f the story which he told them of the dead girl, the ruined family, and the deserted house: Marion Escourt had been a favored child from the very hour of her birth. True, her young mother died that she Blight live, bat a sister of that mother, good and pure as she. took the infant to her heart, and cherished it for the sake of the dead. Marlon's aunt was •one of earth's saints, and, under her loving care the child grew mild, and good and gentle—beloved by every one who knew her. Her father was an old man. and, being the possessor of great wealth, he chose to indulge his only and darling child in every wish she expressed. He seemed but to live that if** might please her; yet, strange to say, In spite of all this injudicious (fondness, she was quite unspoiled. • A slight touch of haughtiness there might have been fn her manner, Itut 4fte was no more to blame for that tlmn that her eyes were so large and .or her 'form so reed-like and graceful. With the beauty of her mother, she had inherited the stately manner of her father, and though she moved among her friends with the stately dignity of a young princess, no one seemed disposed to quarrel with what became her so well, and was so sweetly tempered with modesty and gentleness, and all good gifts. Years passed on and added the arch fascinations of girlhood to her other charms. Her playmates were forced to select their cavaliers from the list of her rejected lovers, and yet her heart seemed all untouched. At last she made her choice. It surprised every one. Her second cousin, George Vernon, a graceless, drinking and diceing Oxford student, won the treasure for which so many had longed in vain. Won it almost without an effort on his part—won it without knowing of its value, or knowing how to appreciate i t When by the advice of a dear friend she knelt at her father's feet and told him of her love, the old man burst into a storm of anger, threatened her with the loss of home and friends; threatened her also with his own curse; but it was all in vain! She was his own child. She inherited all his pride and haughtiness, though these qualities had been kept in the background by the gentle teachings of her aunt; and when he attempted to thwart her dearest wishes so openly and determinedly, her pride and will were aroused, and her soul opposed in all its native fierceness to his own. That night she fled! The morning brought a letter from her, saying that she had chosen to share poverty with her lover, rather than enjoy wealth without him. At the same time she prayed her father not to cast her utterly from his heart, but to think of her in kindness and morcy, for the rake of the long and happy year3 they had loft behind them forsver. Marlon was by no means one to be discarded and for*otton where she had once been loved, and though at first her stern old father forbade all mention of her name and threatened to disinherit her at once, her memory, gentle, kind and loving as she had always been till that fatal night, gradually disarmed him, and by decrees they came to sp»ak of her again around the home hearth, and to send many a loving wish and thought to follow her in her wanderings. It may be that her father felt that he had driven her to desperation by his harshness, for as time softened the first sting of agony, he grew more kind and gentle, and often encouraged bis faithful housekeeper to sit and talk for hours with him of her they had both loved BO well. At that time, If she had returned, he would gladly have welcomed and forgiven her. But ah! as the poet says, "if only the dead could know at what hour "To come back and be forgiven!"" They do not know, nor do the living, till the appointed time has gone by, and either the forgiveness or the time for receiving it has passed away. No tidings came directly from Marion —her father did not even know the exact place of her residence. A fly ins rumor reached him now and then; but all was uncertain and mysterious; and at last even this scanty information ceased, and her name was spoken softly and tenderly, as "The household name Of one whom God has taken." Her father mourned for her silently, but sincerely; and all could see by the bending of the stately form and the silver threads that glistened in his jetty hair, how the estrangement/and silence, and separation were eating his very life away! Her life should have been a happy gentleman who is supposed to be mixed up with the affairs of mortals, who must, I think, have laughed in his sleeve when chance sent 8 young widow to dwell In the vicinity of the newly married pair. She was a woman of good birth and high family, though so reduced in circumstances as to he obliged to add to her scanty income by private tuition in the more genteel families around Banley. She was a fine classical scholar, an artist, an authoress, and, ta addition, danced like a fairy, played and surik like an angel, and rode like Die Vernon herself. Her tall, elegant figure, her deep mourning, the easy grace of her motions and the dignity of her manners had already moved George Vernon strangely, and though she was a brilliant rather than a beautiful women, with her, wondrous smile, her flashing eyes, her bewitching manners and easy grace, she placed him where she had so often placed his betters—at her feet! The dusky gentleman of whom I have already alluded, having his implements upon the ground, lost no time In using them. Mr. Vernon and the governess met often, and it needed no spoken word to tell the enchantress ail he was feeling. Hit word*—his sighs —the long ardent glances of his handsome hazel eyes, told the story only too well, and smiling sometimes to herself at this new proof of her power or rascinatloh, she gave—hlxxrwomeslight encouragement from time to time. He did not love her, and yet, at last, he walked up and down his room at midnight, thinking, while she was sleeping quietly and would hare laughed heartily at his employment had she known it He was only doing what a thousand men have done before him—what a thousand more will do ,after him—flinging himself at the feet of a woman who would lead him through a tempest of passion and leave him at last bankrupt of faith, of feeling and honesty, and all else that to the noble heart makes life at all worth living. CHAPTER XIX. And all this time what was Marion doing? This house was even more lonely then than it is now. There were few country seats around, and even with their tenants, Mr. Vernon had little or no intimacy. People did not quite understand him or his position. There were rumors afloat that touched his character closely; and even Marion was supposed to be—not a lady, a relative and his wife—but a person of Inferior birth; some even thought her a servant, who had consented to reside with him without troubling herself about the formal ceremony of marriage. He must have known that this was the general impression, and yet he never contradicted it in any way. So no one ever came to the Hall, and Marion wondered a little at the unsocial neighborhood and heard nothing for a long time of the dangerous intimacy her indifferent husband had formed. At last the tale leaked out through the good offices of her own maid. She was shocked and indignant, but something impelled her to seek Mr. Vernon at once and know the truth. She went down into the study, where ho was lounging iu an easy chair, smoking a cigar, and thinking, probably, much less of Mrs. Vernon than of Mrs. Moore. He laid aside the cigar and she sat down beside him and began her hope'ess task. Hopeless—how hopeless every woman must know. For all men, even the best and bravest, and gentlest, are cowardly in their dealings with women, and will evade a downright inquiry if it is in their power to do so. It happened, therefore, as a mere matter of course, that Mr. Vernon told his wife an absolute falsehood, and made her believe at last that she bad been slandered, by the reports she had heard —highly colored ones, let us own. She believed him. But the next day both he and Mrs. Moore were missing. The had fled to Australia together. The shock drove MaTion mad for the time. And in her frenzy she destroyed the life of Iier infant, which was born before she recovered. (To be continued.) E>Kcor«r«d a Usofal Secret. Lite many other useful inventions, the art of bottling beer was discovered by mere accident. It is attributed to Alexander Nowell, 'head master of Woodbridge school. England, who was noted for hds erudition, his piety and his penchant for angling. His portrait in the hall of Brasenose college, Oxford, represents him with his bible before him and his fishing rods on either side, and bears the inscription, Piscator Hominum. It appears that once while fishing, as his habit was at Hadham, he mislaid his bottle of ale in the long grass on the banks of the river Ash.

"Sin came into the world by my sex, and it is my duty to get all the sin out of the world I can," said Mrs. Clegg in her sermon. She conducted her entire service for her husband and her sermon was interesting from beginning to end. The announcement that the minister's wife was to preach brought out a very large congregation and late comers stood two deep in the corridor. Rev. D. W. Lecrone, the Lutheran pastor of the village, dismissed hie evening service in order to hear Mrs. Clegg. He was invited to a seat on the platform and accepted.

The young man saved is John Moore, atred 21. The party is composed members of the Elm Social club, one of the numerous associations in that city, organized for the promotion of picnics and other social functions. Early in the morning the entire party embarked in gaily decorated wagons and pitched their camp at Rose Glen, along the Schuylkill river, on the northern outskirts of the city. After dinner the party splH up for a row on the river, eight deciding to j?o in one boat. Ail the girls were huddled in the stern, oue of the boys was rowing and the other was sitting on the bow of the boat. After pettin? in the middle of the river and finding the current too swift for comfort, the boat was rowed in toward shore. During this time it was enrried slowly down stream. The boy doing the rowing decided to go through the locks and n» he appronched the dam, he was hailed by the lockkeeper not to approach nny closer. The warning was not heeded nnd the young oarsman kept on rowing until he found that the lock was closed. The boat and entire party was carried over tho damT and the live girls never rose to the surface. •Mgelav M M of » California BMentlr Seie»v«d* Mrs. M. E.

"I treaT the~aoTaTTwoTprmy own child/' says the mother with confident affection, and she gives reasons for her faith. A year ago, on her daughter's birthday, she had been told a snow* white spitz pup was to be given her by a neighbor. The white puppy ran away from Mrs. Hslprunner. In its stead darted out and nettled to her a golden haired puppy. At once 1 saw my daughter's gestures duplicated by the dog, and, believer in reincarnation that I am, I knew Lillian's soul had come back to be near me. The soul of my daughter had entered the body of my golden spits dog, Earl of Glengower, and X treat him as X would my child." At night this dog sleeps em a slik-covered down pillow beside U s owner's bed. "He puts his little paws together for a few minutes in prayer just as Lillian did," declared Mrs. H«l~ pruner.

Aibertson, our leading blacksmith has been a great sufferer from rheumatism. He was so bad that he could not sleep for the great pain in his arms and shoulders. He had been afflicted for years, bv.t lately he was so muca wors3, that he thought he would have to glYe up his shop altogether. Then a strange thing happened. A friend of his recommended a new medicine called Dodd's Kidney Pills, said to be a cure for Rheumatism. He commenced to use them, and at once began to recover. His. pain has all left him, and he is a well man today, and entirely free from any symptom of Rheumatism. To say that he is thankful, is putting It very mildly. He is delighted. Dodd's Kidney Pills deserve credit for having cured this very severe and almost hopeless case. From recent reports, there does not seem to bs any thine that they will not cure, as very bad cases of Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Dropsy, Kacumatism/ and Heart Trouble, have been cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills, even after having been given m> hv ou^ best doctors, MU«lft*li>nt'» hm*11 V » t « , Mississippi has a total population of over 1,500,000 and yet the total vote of the state last November was under 60,000.

Nor is there to be fouod anywhere else such a pleasant combination. Game abounds everywhere and nowhere does it afford such perfect amusement. A noted sportsman, writing of the favorite pastime says: "There 'is one particular spot where I saw a man drop seventy mallards one morning and bring them all to bag, too, for they dropped in open water or on flat prairie.

A thin column of blue smoke curling up in the distance shows you where a few wandering Indians have pitched their camp, but there is no other indication of civilization in sight Still, the neighborhood is wellsettled, and a short drive will bring you to a farmhouse, where you can bay the finest butter and the freshest eggs for uncivilized prices. A very short railway journey will bring you to a country full of deer and the lordly wapiti, the king of the deer tribe the world over, and down on the flat, boggy land by the lake shores the moose will stand knee deep in water on the summer evenings ready to lie down when the flies get bothering.

AefttwM 'asMl, Writer l?at Bait a Bard Boftd to Tr*val—-Coarted D«ath and tha Curtain bell oa * Seene of —aaiakjai . The filial chapter of the pathetic life story oX Frances Raymond, a woman of rare beauty and undoubted ability who has sought to make a name tor herself on the stage and in literature and who, after bright prospects In both fields, had failed, was written last week when she successfully courted death. Mrs. Raymond's handsomely attired body was found Sunday in her fashionable apartments in New York after life had been extinct several hours as a result of asphyxiation. Frances Raymond was for a brief time in her life of 32 years an actress. Her stage career closed in 1894 after she had attained a small degree of success and she then devoted ber talents to literature. She was possessed of an active, brilliant mind and after three years placed in tbe hands of publish* era a novel which many critics praised highly. It did not take with the reading public, however, and her efforts went for naught. Her failure to achieve fame on the stage or as a writer was most depressing to Mrs. Raymond and she became melancholy and morose. The final disappointment which blasted all her hopes was the unhappy termination of a love affair. A young physician who had been devoted to her at the time of her deepest tribulation and whom Mrs. Raymond loved deeply deserted her and then she apparently lost all interest in worldly affairs and determined upon death as a release from her trials. Mrs. Raymond had been married and divorced. Her name before she appeared upon the stage was Mrs. M. Schaffer, she assuming a portion of the name of Franklin Raymond Wallace, a Montana millionaire, who educated her for the stage career and FRANCES RAYMOND, whom she afterwards sued for breach of promise, her suit being unsuccessful. Tbt> life of Mrs. Raymond was one of many adventures, each of which, it seemed, resulted disastrously. Through her whole career ran a vein of romance and, though her affairs of love were few, she was disappointed in each and the last determined her to seek release from earthly care in the seclusion and peace cf the grave. rnbllety Floirc«i.

Many ladies of the town occupied bos seat3 as the lash whlzsc:! through the air and fell upou the white skin with a dull sound as though striking putty; others pressed in against the fence surrounding the pest and expressed their approbation in various ways.

Many farmers leave their orchards until all the other spring work, such as sowing oats and planting corn, la finished. Then about the 1st. of June, when a good sod has formed, they go in and rip up and ridge up the soil with the plow. This is, 1 believe, a radically wrong method, for, in addition to leaving unsatisfactory surface conditions (alternate ridges and furrows), the fibrous roots that are thrown out for the sustenance of the fruit are cut off, and the "June drop" and the forced fruit of July almost invariably follow. During the last live years on 3.000 trees I have had no June drop and not a basket of forced fruit, and I have not bad a plow in my orchard in that time, but have used a cultivator exclusively. Some 12 years ago I contrived a cultivator, having i:i view two principal objects—to relieve the team from the annoyance of being driven close to the trees and.to save time by rapid work. As the cultivator does not need to run ing the hive can be carried to the location where it is to remain. Sometimes a swarm will cluster on the trunk of a tree or wall; then it will be necessary to use a brush to get them into the basket. The ringing of bells and beating of pans and all such notions are of no avail. A first swarm will most always settle. I have never yet seen It to miss, provided the queen was with them, and if the queen is not I ^vith them they will most surely return | to their hive. Sometimes a swarm will; hang on a tree all day, and then again | they may depart in a little while. It is ; better to hive them within a half hour j after they have issued if possible. j Still a better way is to have queen j -traps ou the hive to catch the queen. | With the queen traps it is a delight to i hive swarms. When the swarm issues, i the queen cages herself and cannot i leave with the bees. The swarm will! cluster on some tree, when the apiarist I can replace,the otd hive with an empty j one and place the trap with the queen j in front of the new hive on the old . /stand. The bees will remain from 10 to 20 minutes, when- they will return ; and enter the new hive. The apiarist can then release The queen, and she will run in with the swarm, and the yield was 34 bushels per acre. Wet weather caused both varieties to blossom until harvest time. Both are recommended as very strong growers, and Mr. W. S. Wbedon, Cn-hier of the First national Bank of Wintered, l o v a , in a recent letter gives some experience with a carpenter in his employ, that will be of value to other mechanics. He says: "I had a "carpenter working for me wbo wa> obliged to stop work several days on j more than two or three inches deep, account of being troubled with diarr- \ the-roots of the trees are but slightly " disturbed, the surface remains level, less tendency to wash is noticed, the soil is kept free from weeds, and the trees show a" vigorous and healthy jrrowth.

The fact that the Black Marrowfat was sown on much lower ground may account for the difference in yield. As the question of cheap pork production assumes greater proportions, forage peculiarly suited for pigs must certainly come to the front. It is well known that the pig thrives on grass or green feed alone,'but the importance and necessity of feeding him on such are very often overlooked. The conditions governing feeding operations, however, enter into this matter, and frequently such crops as can be most conveniently produced or utilized must take precedence over others better adapted to the end In view.

Among the stories that are retailed in the cloakroom of the senate when that body is in session at Washington is one of how William H. Crane, the actor, put the finishing touches upon his great character study, "The Senator." " ~ "As you well know," said one of the group, "Crane took his character almost directly from Senator Plumb of Kansas. Crane had just started out with 'The Senator* and bad opened in Washington. We had all seen the performance and liked it immensely. But I thought I saw one defect. Crane wore a high silk hat. which was not at n\\, according to my thinking, in keeping with the imitation or Plurub. who always wore the characteristic broad brimmed hat of the southerner. One evening when Crane, Ingails. Plumb and myself happened to be dining together I remarked to Crane about the matter of the high hat. " 'You really ought not to wear it, for it is not in keeping with the character.' said I. 'You ought to wear one like Plumb's/ "Crane did not say much tn answer, but when he arose from the table he reached out for Plumb's hat and calmly put it on. Leaving his own hat for Plumb, Crane went off down the street with the old felt affair jammed down over bis forehead. The senator was too surprised to offer objection. The next night~ Crane appeared tm the stage with Plumb's bat on his head and thereafter wore it at every performance."— Chicago Chronicle. % HE KNOWS BEANS: The m l.mi»mt Tint Inn m AbOttt T n e t q by a n O h i o G r o w e r . old saw "Too poor to raise The Chinese began to write books before they migrated from the region south of the Caspian sea.

In the story of the settlement and progress of Detroit much is revealed of the history of "the northwest under three flags." The latest Paris idea is to pave the streets with glass, and experiments are now being tried to that end. According to the Telegraph's correspondent, pure glass is used without admixture of cement, but subjected to a special treatment, cabled devttrifactio'n. The result is a hard, smooth substance, opaque/absolutely non-porus, absorbing no foreign matter, and thus retaining no dampness or unpleasant odors. The varied character of the Manila population is shown by such items as these, taken at random from one issue of a local daily: "Sim Viaco, a Filipino, ran. amuck on Calle A n d a o n Thursday night and attacked Lu Tang with a heavy scantling. Mandarin Chang Quing, son of Carlos Palanca, the Chinese millionaire of Manila, has been appointed ambassador to Mexico, and is expected by his father to visit Manila about April 1." Ex-Empress Eugenie has given to the municipality of Paris the cradle of Prince Louis Napoleon, the only son of Napoleon III. and the Empress. Prince Louis was killed in the Zulu war in South Africa in 1879. The body of the cradle is made of rosewood and is decorated with enamels in antique silver and chiseled bronze. The frames are of silver. A statue holds the imperial crown, in gilt and bronze, over the pillow, which is of white satin embroidered in gold with the letter "N." The cradle was originally a gift from the municipality of Paris to Empress Eugenie. Fanners of Wabash county, Indiana, are building good roads by co-operation and at much reduced cost. They have an agreement among themselves on road-building, each owner of land abutting on a highway to be improved pledging in work or cash $1,50 per acre within half a mile of the road. Payment may be made within three years, and the burden thus distributed is hardly felt. The work is done in dull seasons, and gravel roads have replaced the old mud highways, over many miles of •turnpike. On the completion of a road the task of malntaing it is assumed by the county authorities. Happenings of the Week Driefty Related. m The French military authorities, after protracted experiments, are said to be so far satisfied with the value of the motor car in war time, that they are making arrangements to acquire, if necessary, the whole of the auto-cars for military service in the event of the army entering the field. Notices are said to have be*m sect to owners of auto-cars, asking them if they are disposed to sell their vehicles to the government whenever the country should find itself threatened with war, and also requiring them to fix prices of the cars. The actual purchasing price will be decidrvl upon by the military authorities when the vehicles are handed over after talcing into account the depreciation they may have undergone in the meantime. WILL INTEREST MiCHIGANDERS Have You Money Coming From the State ait the Result of Paring Double Tare* --rofco#key llarber m Trouble — JaoJc- • noa Woman Sues Her Hubby, Machinist* Cause Trouble In Detroit. Whai threatened to be a lively riot occurred at the Olds Motor Works, in Detroit, lute on tho afternoon of May 31, but the prompt arrivul of the police averted serious trouble, yet just a little blood was shed. There tire at present about CO men, mostly machinists, employed there. The cause of the trouble is that non-union men were suspected to be working there. When tho excitement commenced there wereomy about a luilf dozen strikers present. But by the time the extra squad of policemen arrived fully 500 men, comprised principally of workmen of different shops, had assembled. More police protection was telephoned ior and upon their arrival the ringleaders of the crowd hud succeeded in working their listeners up to a point where they were willing to make a rush on the works and cause the non-union men to cease working. W"hen the signal was given the crowd started, and for awhile the scene presented was similar to that of a lot of boys playing "pom, pom, pull-a-way." Finally some members of the crowd made a rush for the opposite side of the building and in this way came in contact with the non-unionists. Three of the latter received badiy swollen and black eyes and suffered with bloody noses, but th« police reached the building1 in time to prevent anyone from being badly h u r t The police accompanied tho company's men away from the s c e n e i t quitting time, and patrolmen went most of the way home with the" more nervous of the workers. nrrrlen Township Farmers Trapped. Numerous tanner* in Bernon township are chewing the bitter oud of reflection now that they connot recall what they had to say to several gentc«l personages who visited them during the past few days for the alleged purpose of purchasing farm land. The visitors in question were* land experts who wftra st»nt nut by the state tax Arc You AlFcctPtl. Policyholders of the defunct Citizens' Mutual Fire Insurance company, of Jackson, are u p i n arms. The cause of the excitement is :m assessment by Receiver F. Cy iixdgley of former policyholders to the tune o/ nearly 8133,- 00O. I t developed that the liabilities only amounted to- $18,000, and the cause of the excessive assessment is said to be the likelihood of the assessments of many stockholders proving uncollectible. It is claimed that policyholders re not liable beyond the amount fixed in the premium note signed by the applic int for insurance, therefore the exhoritant assessment is held to be illegal. The assessable policyholders are scattered all over the southern part of the state, " * ~ Have Money Coming. Certain property owners iu the state arc receiving postal cards from persons at Lansing who pore over books in the auditor-general's office, to the effect that they are entitled to a refunding of a given sura occasioned by a double payment of taxes. Those who have something coming are informed that for a consideration thev will be furnished with valuable information. Auditor- Geueral Powers notified county treasurers to notify these property owners who may come under his notice. that the. auditor's department will cheerfully furnish this information gratis These persons have received notices t i n t they are entitled to refunding, from the auditor's office, but have overlooked tlvm. . commission to ascertain whether or not the township supervisors in Berrien county, are doing their duty by assessing land at its actual cash value. The deputation struck Berrien Center the other day and unraveled a pi a usable tale about being-sent into that section by a colony of people who had recently located in northernr~Mtcn1gan, where, owing to tho nature of the soil, they were unable 1O raise satisfactory crops, hence they desired to purchase more productive soil in the Michigan fruit belt. A prominpnt citizen of Berrien Center, who is well-known amoog the farmers, volunteered to accompany the prospective buyers, and introOuced them to the land owners, who were eager listeners to the yarn told by the agents of the tax commission. The outcome was that land which the owners iniun.Lain_edj._in_ the presence of the township supervisor, as not worth above $40 or ¢50, suddenly increased amjizingly in value. No farms were for sale short of 875 to> Sl<)0 per acre, and in most cases the owners held that the land was really worth more than was asked for i t The strangers departed and the supervisor of Berrien township hus been notified by the tax commission to raise the assessment to the amount which the owners claim the land is worth. The deputation of innocent lambs tried the same wrirkle in Niles township, but the farmers had a tip in advance, hence the men from northern Michigan found farms for sale at a bargain in this vicinity. Frnit Grower* ar»» Discouraged. Fruit growers in the v.ciuity of Henton Harbor are nearly discouraged over the prolonged cool weather. The prospects for a big strawberry crop as given out is not what it was 10 days ago. The big melon growers are still holding their plants in hot beds waiting ^or a warm vmid-aiKh^lready-many-of these plants are dumping down. On the big peach farms hardly an old tree will bear a peach and this means twothirds of every farm. The cause, as heretofore announced, was the early fall frcezo before the limbs had beenv tempered by any frosts. M I N O R M I C H I G A N M A T T E R S .

New York, has been approved by the trustees of the Naval Arch Association and the organization of the finance committee for the collection of the funds, with which to construct it will be effected at once. The design was prepared by Ernest F'agg. It is estimated that the arch, including the statuary, will cost ¢850,000, while the sea-wall, beacons and monuments will cost $300,000 more. In organizing the committee for the collection of the fund, every care is to be taken to make it as representative as possible, In order to give perfect confidence in the project. I'etnftkey 31. D.

This is a sequel of ashooting affray which occurred at the home of Mrs. Cheech when, following a decision of the supreme court sustaining the lower court in granting her a divorce, Cheech shot his wife four times in tho bead, badly wounding her. She recovered from the wound and now sues for 8T>,000 for injuries sustained and expenses incurred. Court Must Deride.

The decomposed body of an unknown man was found on the tir>th on the top of a wild and desolate hill known as Uuzzard's Iloost, which overlooks the Vermilion river in Illinois. From the fact that the he-id was cut off it is thought he wjis decoyed there and murdered. The man had been dead about six months.

Tho .Recent Supreme Court Decision in Porto Rico 7* MAY NECESSITATE NEW LAWS, ir the Tariff Schedule Promolffatad by tho President is Insufficient Cnuxress Will be ObUfirml to Act or Import* Alar Un* toe Froo—I>etil»lui»» Kxpl ilnod. Constitution Blast Follow the Vhis. In the Dovvncs case the U. S. w> preine court declares, in an opinion by Justice Itrown. that while Porto Rico is a territory of the U. S., it is not such for tariff purposes and that the Foraker act is constitutional. The judgment of the circuit court w,as affirmed. The following were the pnneipai points of the majority decision; 1. Territory cannot be foreign and .domestic simultaneously. 2. Porto Rico is not foreign territory. 3. Congress has jHjrthojriijLJJ*-CiffllJ3l and""legislate for territory acquired by war or treaty. 4. Territory acquired by treaty bo.' 'ongs to the U. S. und is subject to the disposition of congress. 5. Congress derives its authority not necessarily from the territorial clanse of the constitution but from necessi* ties of the case and the inability of the states to act. G. Tho collection of duties on Imports from Porto Rico since acquisition is illegal. 7. Porto Rico became domestic territory the moment it was ceded to the U. S., no act of congress being necessary to make it such. 8. Import duties, levied in Porto liieo after ratification of the treaty of peace with Sp.iin are held9 to bo invalid Four justices dissent Philippine Turllf Duties In • Mmtdle. Continuing the lo^io of the decision in the Deli ma case it is appirent that the whole Philippine tariff situ ition is upset. It was decided t h a t ^ o o d s eoming into this country after the ratitl' cation of the Paris treaty and before the ennctment of the Foraker bill were entitled to be admitted free. In the ease of Porto Rico the duties received under the Fomher act will bo kept. The Dingley duties collected previously wili be refunded. In the case of th* Philippines there has been no Foraker act. Duties have been charged on Filipino goods under the Dingley law since the ratification of the Paris treaty. The force of the present decision would be that all duties collected on goods coming from the Philippines mus^t be refunded. This would make a difference of millions of dollars to shippers. Under the authority of congress the President has the power to institute a new Philippine tariff. Under this authority he might by executive order institute a tariff similar in effect to the Foraker act and thus stop the Philippine goods from coming into thiseonutry free. At this point the question would arise as to whether the congress could delegate its constitutional authority to the executive or an officer of the executive. If the congress cannot empower, and did not empower, the President to issue such an order for a Philippine tariff then it will become necessary for congress to be cailed into extra session to pass such a 1 i\v. If the President cannot make the order, congress must be called or the aroods will continue to come in dury free. Stabbing Affray at Monroe. A stabuing affray occurred at Monroe on the afternoon of the 30th that mny result in murder. Win. Stokes, colored, stabbed William Rudert, a butcher,' with a puttv knife du ing an altercation in Jtcob nermann's saloon, on Monroe street. The men had been drinking heavily all day and nt the time of the trouble both were intoxicated and quarrelsome. The knife entered between the two lower ribs on the left side and went through the lung and into the spleen. Stokes was immediately arrested. In the meantime a crowd had collected at the police station with the determination to break into Stokes* cell und take him out and hang him to a tree in the park.

Text, Matthew xxs% 15; T o another one." fiipei tret from this parable of the talents the word "usury." It ought to have been translated "interest" "Usury" is finding a man in a tight place and compelling him to pay an unreasonable sum to get o u t "Interest" is a righteous payment for the use of money. When the capitalist of this parable went off from home, he gave > to his stewards certain sums of money, wtihlmr t o ^rave^them Tromably"Jn= vested. Change also your idea as to the value of one talent» You remember the capitalist gave to one of his men for business purposes five talents, to another two, to another one. What a small amount to this last, you think, and tow could he be expected to do anything with only one talent? I have to ten you that one talent was about 17,200, so that when my text says, "To another one," it implies that those who have the least have much. W a « t l n « t h s T a l e n t - . We bother ourselves a great deal about those who are highly gifted or h&ve large financial resource or exalted official position or wide reaching opportunity. We are anxious that their wealth, their eloquence, their wit, be employed on the right side. Ont, of them makes a mistake, and we say, "What a n awful disaster." When one a€ them devotes all his great ability to useful purposes, we celebrate it; we enlarge upon it; we speak of it as something for gratitude to God. Mecn- " while ve~gTve no time at all-to-conslder what people are doing with their one talent, not realizing that ten people of one ^alent each are quite as important as one man with ten talents. In the one case the advantage or opportunity is concentrated in a single personality, while in another it is divided among ten individuals. Now what we want to do in this sermon is to waken people of only one talent to appreciation of their duty. Only a few people have Ave talents or ten talents, while millions have one. My short text Is like a galvanic shock. "To another one." Ctirrr G«wx1 Che^r. Is ft a cheerful look? Carry that look wherever you go. It must come _frora a cheerful heart. It is not that inane smile which we sometimes see which is an irritation. In other words, ft must be a light within us so bright that It illumines eye, cheek, nostril and month. Let ten men who are accustomed to walking a certain street every day resolve upon a cheerful countenance as a result of a cheerful heart, and the influence of such a facial fcrradiatlon would be felt not only in that street, but throughout the town. Cheerfulness io catching. But a cheerful look IB exceptional. Examine the first twenty faces that you meet going through Pennsylvania avenue or Chestnut street or Broadway or State street or La Salle street or Euclid avenue, and nineteen out of the twenty faces have either an anxious look or a severe look or a depressing look or an avaricious look or a sneering look or a vacant look. Here .Is a missionary work for those \vh« have trouble. Arm yourself with gospel comfort. Let the God who comforted Mary and Martha at the loss of their brother, the God who soothed Abraham at the loss of Sarnti and the God of David, who consoled his bereft spirit at the loss of his hoy by saying, "I shall go to him;" the God who filled S t John with doxology when an exile on barren Palmos and the God who has given happiness to thousands of the bankrupted and persecuted, filling thorn with heavenly riches which were more than the earthly advantages that arc wiped out—let that God Jielp. .them. IT he tikes fall possession of your nature, then you will go down the street a benediction to all who see you, and those who are In the tough places ot life and are run upon and belied and had their homes destroyed will say: •'If that man can be happy, I can be happy. He has been through troubles as b!g as mine, and be goes down the street with a face In every lineament of which there are joy and peace and heaven. What am I groaning about? From tho same place thot man got his cheerfulness I can get mine. 'Why art thou cast down, 0 my soul, and why art thou disquieted within me? K » w R a c e of M l n U t e r s . More people go new to church than ever rn^the world's history, and tho reason is in all our denominations _lhere Is a new race <.f ministers stepping Into the pulpits which are not the apostles* of humdrum. Sure enough, we want in tho Lord's army the heavy artillery, but we want also more men who, like Burns, a farmer at Gettysburg, took a musket and went out on bis own account to do a little shooting different from the other soldiers. The church of God is dying of the proprieties. People who in every other kind of audience show their emotions in their countenances in religious assemblies while we are discussing coming release and the joys of heaven look as doleful as though they were attending their own funeral. My friends, If you have the one talent of wit or humor are you using ft merely to make a few people laugh winter nights around the stove in the corner grocery? Has it never occurred to you that you have a mission to execute with that bright faculty? Do you employ it only in Idle conundrum or low farce or harlequinade or humiliating banter? Quit that and swing that flashing scimiter which God has put in your hand for the slaying of sin and the triumph of righteousness. Or is your talent an opportunity to set a good example? One person doing right under adverse circumstances will accomplish more than many treatises ahouT what Is right The census has never been taken of lovely old folks. Most of us, if we have not such a one in our own. house now, have in our memory such a saint. We went to those old people with all our troubles. They were perpetual evangelists, by their soothing words, by their hopefulness of spirit, and inexpressible help. I cannot see how heaven could make them any lovelier than they are or were. But there are exceptions. There is a daughter in that family whose father is impatient and the mother querulous. The passage of many years does not always improve the disposition, and there are a great many disagreeable old folks. Some of them forget that they were ever young themselves, and they become untidy in their habits and wonder how, when their'asthma or rheumatism is so bad, other people can laugh or sing and go on as they do. The daughter in that family bears all of the peevishness and unreasonable behavior of senility without answering back or making any kind --of- complaints If you should, ask her what her Jive talents are or her one talent ia, she would answar that she has nq talent at all. Greatly mistaken is she. Her one talent is to forbear and treat the childishness of tho old as well as she treats the childishness of the young. She is no musician, and besides there may not be a piano in the house. She cannot skillfully swing a croquet mallet or golf stick. Indeed, she seems shut up to see what she can do with a ladle and a broom and a brush and other household Implements. She is the personification of patience and her reward will be as long as heaven. Indeed, much of her reward may be given on earth. She is in a rough college, from which she may after a while graduate into brightest domesticity. She is a heroine, though at present she may receive nothing but scolding and depreciation. Her one talent of patience under trial will do more good than many morocco covered sermons on patience preached today from the tasseled cushion of the pulpit "To another one." T h * T a l e n t of H o n e s t y . There is a man in business life whoee one talent is honesty. He has not the genius or the force to organize a company or plan what is called a "corner in wheat" or "a corner in stocks*' or "a corner" in anything. He goes to business at a reasonable hour and returns when it is time to lock up. He never gave a check for $20,000 in all his life, but ho is known on the street and in the church and in many honorable circles as an honest man. His word is as good as his bond. He has for thirty years been referred to as a clean, upright, industrious, consistent Christian man. Ask him how many talents he has and he will not claim even one. He cannot make a speech, he cannot buy a market, he cannot afford an outshining equipage, but what an example he is to the young, what an honor to his household, what a pillar to the church of God, what a specimen of truth and integrity and rJl roundness of character! Is there any comparison in usefulness between that man with the one talent of honesty and the (lashing operators of the money market, who startle the world first with a "boom" and then with a "slump?" I tell you that the one man with the one talent will live a happier life and die a more peaceful death and go to a better place than his brilliant but reckless^ contemporary. "To another one." The chief work of the people with many talents is to excite wonderment and to startle and electrify the world. What use is there in all that? No use at all. I have not so much interest in the one man out of a million as I have in the million. Get the great masses of the world right and it does not make much difference about what the exceptional people are doing. Have all the people with the one talent enlisted for God and righteousness, and let all those with Ave or ten talents migrate to the north star or the moon, and this world would get on splendidly. Tho hard working, industrious classes of America are all right and would give no trouble but it is the genius who gives up work and on a big salar? goes around to excite dissatisfaction and embroilment, the genius who quits work and steps on the stage or political platform, eats beefsteak and quail on toast and causes the common laborers, compelled to idleness, to put their hands into empty pockets and eat gristle and gnaw bones. The world would be mightily improved if It could slough off about 6,000 geniuses, for there are more than that on our plane t Then the man or woman of one talent would take possession of the world and rule it in a common sense and Christian way. There wonld be less to amaze and startle, but more to give equipoise to church and state and world. "To another one." T h « T a l e n t of Persuasion* la your talent that of persuasion? Make good use of it. We all have it to some extent, yet none of us thinks of it as a talent. But it is the mightiest of talents: Do you know that this one talent will fetch the world back to God? Do you knew It is the mightiest talent of the high heavens? Do you know that it is the one talent chiefly employed by all the angels of God when they descend to our world —the talent of pei'suasion? Do youreslize that the rough lumber lifted into a cross on the hill back of Jerusalem was in persuasion as well as sacrifice? That Is the only, absolutely the only, persuasion that will ever induce the human race to stop its march toward the city of destruction and wheel around and start for the city of light. Now may the Lord this moment show each one of us that to a greater or less extent we have that one talent of persuasion and impel us to the right use of i t You say you cannot preach a sermon, but cannot you persuade someone to go and hear a sermon? You say you cannot sing, but cannot you persuade some one to go and hear the choir chant on Christmas or Easter morning? Send a bunch of flowers to that invalid in the hospital, with a message about the land where the inhabitants never say "I am sick." There, is a child of the street. Invite him into the mission school. -There is a man who has lost his fortune in speculation. Instead of jeering at his fall go and tell him of riches that never take "wlhgiTand fly away. Buckie on that one talent of persuasion, O man, O woman, and you will do a work that heaven will celebrate 10,000 years. T h e T ' a a l Bovtoir- After the resurrection day and all heaven is made up, resurrected bodies joined to ransomed souls, and the gates which were so long open are shut there may be some day when all the redeemed may pass in review before the great white throne. If so, I think the hcst3 passing before the King will move in different divisions. With the first division will pass the mighty ones of earth who were as good and useful as they were great. In this division will pass before the throne all the Martin Luthers, the John Knoxes, the Wesleys, the Richard Cecils, the Miltons, the Chrysostoms, the Herschells, the Lenoxes, the George Peabodys, the Abbot Lawrences, and all the consecrated Christian men and women who were great in literature, in law, in medicine, in philosophy, in commerce. Their genius never spoiled them. They were as humble as they were gifted or opulent They were great on earth and now they are great in heaven. Their surpassing and magnificent talents were all used for the world's betterment. As they pass in review before the King onthe great white throne to higher and higher rewards, it makes me think of the parable of the talents, "To another ten." I stand and watch the other divisions as they go by, division after division, until the largest of all the divisions comes in sight It is a hundred to one, a thousand to one. ten thousand to one, larger than the other divisions. It is made up of men who never did anything but support their families and give whatever of their limited means they could spare for the relief of poverty and sickness and the salvation of the world, mothers who took good care of children by example and precept, starting them /on the road to heaven, millions of Sabbath school teachers who sacrificed an afternoon's siesta for the listening class of young immortals, women who declined the making of homes for themselv3s that they might take care of father and mother in the weaknesses of old age, ministers of the gospel who on niggardly stipend preached in the backwoods meeting houses, souls who fojr_ long years did nothing but suffer, yet suffered with so much cheerful patience that it became a helpful le?son to all who heard of it; those who served God faithfully all their lives and whoee name never but once appeared in print and that time in three lines of the death column which some survivor paid for, sailors who perished in the storm while trying to get the life line out to the drowning, persecuted and tried sou!s who endured without complaint malignity and abuse, those who had only ordinary equipment for body and ordinary endowment of intellect. yet devoted all they had to holy purposes and spiritual achievement. As I see this, the largest of all the divisions, from all lands and from ~aM ages, pars In review before the King on the great white throne I am reminded of the wonderful parable of the talents and moro especially of my text, ~To another ope." earned te U * gtetep, Fred Eociwlle, a Negro, aged SS, who at noon on the Z8tb, criminally assaulted and then murdered Mrs. Bene Taggart, a well-known and respectable white woman, of Bartow, Fla,, was burned to the stake in that city on the night of the 20th. The assault and murder was one of the boldest and coldest-blooded 'crimes ever committed in Florida. On the day in question, Mrs. Taggart went fi king in a •mall boat that she kept at the city bridge over Placo creek. This is in fall view of the public thoroughfare. A few minute* before noon, desiring to return home, she rowed her boat to the bridge and made it fast She started' home and had proceeded only a few steps In the swamp toward the open prairie and thence to the street, when she was approached by Eocbelle, who had been hiding in the swamp. He seiz'd her and she broke loose and screaming ran from the swamp into the prairie, where he overtook her. After the assault, while she was prostrate, he held her with his han<is and knees and taking his knife from hi pocket, cut her throat from ear to ear, causing instant death. He then took the bleeding form in his arms and carried it back to the Bwamp, threw it down, and escaped into the interior of the swamp. After his arrest the prisoner was taken from the jail to the scene of the crime, chained to the stake and saturated his clothes and some wood with kerosene oil and a match applied. Fifteen minutes later nothing remained of the body but the charred bones. aar. "COUMUN1TV OF INTEREST/*' S o m a of t h e Kffaate of (fc» Groat BaMr o a d C h a n g e * Wblefa A r o O s — w i n g . "Community of Interest" seems to be the watchword among the great rail* road corporations, nowadays, and certain persons who are apt to decide upon topics of general interest, especially new ones, without thinking upoa the facts, have supposed that this meant an arrangement of interest only to the railway companies participating in the deals, traffic arrangements, leases, etc., which show in the stoek transactions and engage the thought and ability of traffic and passenger agents. It is undoubtedly the financial' interest of the corporations which moves their officers to enter into contracts, but the consideration of this topic necessarily includes that of the convenience, comfort and attractions which they can offer to their patrons, If competition be less intense, and rate wars be relegated to the dead past, it means that more attention will be paid to those inducements which will bring business to up-to-date lines of transportation.

So that now, for the first time in the railway history of the country, a passenger may take train at S t Louis and remain therein until he has reached San Francisco. The route is one of the most popular because of its great scenic beauty, and because it gives the traveler the benefit of variety of altitude and climate, taking him across the sml'ing plains of Kansas into the wonderful canyons of Colorado, and through her most noted mining localities, and by the great inland salt sea. where a great religious organization has huilded a city of magnificence i s an oasis of the desert, and whose po*- litical power has been maintained in spite of the objections of the concentrated power of the United States and in the face of all the obstacles which have ever, from the dawn of Christianity, contended against Its establishment by any sect or creed. These places are of great interest to the traveler of today, and since they may be visited with such ease in the magnificent trains of thi3 monster system of railway, the tide of tourist traffic is being turned to them by natural selection.

The etraager ceased to speak, and Mr. Cowley stared at him with much bewilderment "How did you know all this?" he 4flked at laat "Becauae I am Stanley Vernon, the •only brother of that unhappy man," he said* totally. Rose uttered a little cry of astonish-' ment "Yes;' he added, "this shameful family history made me almost loathe my name. I have borne that of Vere for many years. Under that name I met and loved your daughter, sir—under my own, I shall soon ask you for her hand! But for the present let it be my task to clear up this mystery. ul came home from Italy as soon -as I heard this house was let. It was a mistake upon the part of the agent; but I should be the last on .earth to regret it. But I must take precaution against a similar event. This is no fit habitation for any one." "Then it is really haunted~P asked Mr. Cowley. "I fear it is. Rose, will you go to your mother, and, gentlemen, will you follow me." They obeyed him without a word. He went straight to the butler's pantry and took up a spake and pickaxe, already placed there by Mr. Cowley. My brother's wife died delirious, and no one ever knew where she had buried the child, which I was quite certain she had destroyed. I had my suspicions at the time, but I longed to hush the whole thing up as speedily as possible. Now, however, all must be made clear." With a few vigorous'str^esTTie'took up the floor of the room. A tiny skeleton, half-bedded in the moist ground, met their eyes, and Mr. Cowley turned aside to hide his tears. "Poor thing!" he said sadly, "Charles, don't tell your aunt, or wife, or cousins, but get them away—take them to the town this very afternoon. xMr. Vernon and I will follow as soon as this poor little creature has been properly buried. There, go, my dear boy, and, above all, not a word to the girls of what we have found today." •a * * * * * 'So Mrs. Cowley had her way, after all, and spent a happy Christmas Day at Mecklenburgh Square, surrounded by all the members of her family, and waited upon at table by no less a person than Mrs. Macarthy, to whom she clung as a kind of fellow sufferer from the whims of the head of the house. Christmas and New Year's Day having passed gaily away, there only remained the wedding of Rose, and for that I need not hint that the greatest preparations were made. The happy day came slowly on. The tidings of the romantic betrothal had awakened much curiosity among those to whom the pair were known, and the kchurch was crowded when the carriage drove to the door. Rose faltered slightly as she stood on the threshold of the church and jgazed upon the concourse of people; tout a glance from the dear companion at her side reassured her, and calm and happy she moved onward and took her place before the altar. Not to the haunted house, however, but to a pleasant villa upon the seacoast, Mr. Vernon took his fair young bride. And as they sat hand in hand in their new home—the doubts and follies of the past all forgotten and forgiven— the moon rose slowly above the water, and a bright path stretching out over the waves of life's sea, and waiting but for the footsteps, seemed lying there before them. He put the fancy into words, and whispered it to Rose. She looked up in his face with a frank, truth-telling gaae. Those were the very soft, clear eyes, clear and^ quiet as a mountain lake, yet with a slight shadow in their depth, that seemed to tell of stormier elements below, of which he had dreamed for years, and wfcTcI Ee^^acTonTy" seen twice in his life—once in a picture of the Virgin by Murillc— once here! Here was the only heart his own had sought—the only being for whom he had ever really suffered the pangs and pleasures of that mad fever which we call by the name of love. No other could claim her from him, no other could watch that bright young face in all its bewitching changes. No other could rest that pretty head upon his bosom, and play with those silky curls. No other kiss the broad, high forehead, the beautiful eyes, or the full, warm, loving lips! But still he murmured in hjer-eac—as-he held her. closely to his heart that first evening in their common home, "Are you happy, Rose? Are you sure you are happy?" There was no need to ask that question. A perfect stranger coming into that pretty cottage by the deep blue sea might well have answered it for him. « It was a pleasant spot: rone the less so, that everywhere were traces of the presence of its pretty mistress. A spaking portrait hung over the piano, a smile lingering archly on its parted lips; her favorite book* were on the table; her little dog played about the grounds; her horse neighed in the stable, and a rafry-lIke~Tjbat, DearThg~Ber name upon the stern, rocked at anchor upon the pebbly beach below." Running down the graveled walk, with the little dog barking and leaping at her side, feeding her horse with snowy bread; presiding with all the grace of a woman, yet with the sweet, shy bashfulness of a child, at her table, or singing and playing, after the evening meal, sweet, low ballads and dear old songs such as she loved best, filling every spot with beauty and grace, and forming the delight of her husband's eyes, as well as the yride of his heart—is she not happy? I assure you, dear reader, their home is one of the sweetest spots on earth. And full of content with the bliss or the peaceful present, and the promise of a cloudless future, they have quite forgotten the tragic and painful past, and have no wish to go back to their early years, or to visit that scene of a heart rejected and a slighted love avenged. For Hollow Ash Hall Is a ruin! Given up to the bats and the owls, and carefully avoided by everything human, it has fallen gradually into total decay; but the ground has been sold and an enterprising cockney talks of building a soap factory there—so It is within the bounds of possibility that the ghost may yet be exorcised by alkalies and noxious gases. Mr. and Mrs. Cowley still reside in Mechlenburgh Square, with their nephew and niece; and Mrs. Macarthy now reigns supreme over the whole household. But Catharine Is no longer with them; she is tin wife of a dashing Guardsman, and poes to Court, and is so fine, generally, that so humble a pen as mine shrinks nervously from attempting to record her daily life. George Vernon die-rl penniless and forsaken in Australia soon after the mystery of Hollow Ash Hall was made clear. THE END. ^ 0 ¾ ¾ ^ ^ ^ - _ -^ 1 >- m A Character O U S l c ! Sketch B y P h i l i p V e r r i l l M i g h e l s CHAPTER I. Down through the grey of the sagebrush, on a hill that was jeweled with patches of the melting snow of winter all but gone, shambling alone as lazily as the blear-eyed dog at his heels, a Washoe Indian of Western Nevada arrived at the edge of a hurrying brook. Removing a hat, all battered and fuz- • sy, that once had been of silk and proudly high, he gruntingly descended to lie on his stomach at the selvedge green of the water's brink and thrust in his lips for a short, eager drink. The dog lapped above him. Both returned the march again, for the Indian school was near at hand and the way . all a carpet of stubble. To the kitchen door the Washoe •touched, and awed the young mahalaa, who, with red la their facet from the glowing range, were up to their elbow3 in the arts of civilized cooking. "Injun Jim, he's wants my Injun girl!" he announced. "Lordee!" cried the teacher, jumping nervously, "you frightful object! You startled me dreadful. Now, what in the name of goodness do you want?" The Indian maidens stood In attitudes of stoic amazement—one excepted. She, the brightest and the tallest, merely gazed at the visitor in dumb appeal, her hands going slowly, reluctantly back to the strings of the apron that hung about her waist. "Injun Jim, he's wants my Injun girl!" the Washoe repeated. "Want what?" screamed the teacher. "Want Susie? Nonsense, you dirty old thing! You're supposed to be dead; we have all believed you dead and you plenty biscuit-Iahpoo. Your Sus!« go to school—she very smart girl." "No biscult-lah-poo. Heap ketchum erirl, you sabbes? What's Injun goin do at white man's school? He's don"t learn nuthin' goot for us. He's heap Injun all same. Injuns can't vote; Injuns can't make no laws. Heap no goot, you sabbe??" The woman wa,s speechless. She started abruptly to run to the agent, but suddenly halted, remembering sharply that against the wishes of as Indian parent the government was powerless to hold a pupil. A silence fell on the Indian maidens and the baffled teacher. A few quick words in the Washoe tongue delivered by the father to his child and Susie laid her apron on the table. Then silently she walked to her teacher, kissed- her ttafbtly on the hair and turned to follow where the man already shambled slowly toward the brush. Her head bowed submissively forward, her hands hanging listless at her.side, she trod in his trail, and the dog shuffled patiently behind. The sun was casting long, slender filaments of shadows. Into its ruddy glory passed the silent procession, out through Jtho paths of the grey, lonely sage brush, over the flat and the ridges to the foothills far across the valley. Late in the darkness shone at length the dim red eye of the dark and smoky wigwam; and there at last, on the chilling earth, sat Susie in the night, and watching the greying "of the glow to the death^ her chin on her breast, her finger8 idly toying with a rounded bit of pebble. There in the morning Wanda, the mother, whined with her wrinkled mouth and bade the silent Susie stand and go to Chloride Hill, to beg at the rear of the cabins. Together they went, while her father wrapped his blanket about him and strode away, with his dog, in search of others in the mining camp, whose worldly possessions he hoped to win at the subtleties of "Pass the stick." Winding through the stuntad brush the women came to the outlying houses. A door at the back of one of these'was standing awfde. A man within was clattering dishes, cups of tin and iron knives and forks, to a clumsy pyramid on the table. "Here," said he, when he found the mahala gazing in, "squaw, heap wash 'um dishes, sabee? Two-bits, plenty grub I give; mahala wash table, dishes, floor—hey?" At the mention of 25 cents the woman waa oddly alive. With many a grunt and with plenty of hybrid whistle- and-mutter, she Impressed the girl to the service. The man made ready for departing to the mine that was on the hill. "Come every day." he presently added, after glancing keenly at Susie, as he piled some food on a stool near by ahd brought up the money from a pocket. "I pay every week for wash 'um floor and dishes." The girl, when he went, proceeded deftly to cleaning the table and placing utensils and dishes in order—the order they taught at the school. It gave her a pleasure, but of this and of other emotions there was never a sign. Day after day she returned, not alone. Her mother went begging at other of the cabins. With hands caressful— and rounded hands oC dimpled broaze they were—ske touched these kitchen possessions fondly and with grateful dveams of the school across the valley. "See here/' said the man one morninsr, as he watched her at the labor, "you needn't scrub the floor, I guess. I hate to see a woman doing that." "I thank you," she quietly replied, "but I like to do'it. 1 like to see it clean." He looked at her astonished. "Where in the world did you learn your English?" he rudely inquired. She blushed beneath the softened bronze of her rounded checks, and the lasiics drew her eyelids ti«midly down to curtain the wide-open orbs of dark and lustrous onyx. "At the Institute." she faintly answered. "Oh! Wc:i, the dishes I like to have you fix, of course, but not the floor, please." •She reddened again, and shot him a glance that resemblod the questioning gaze of a doe, not trained to fear, yet always shy. "If you—care for—books—or anything here—you're welcome," he stammered, and walked away. He beat himself a blow on the breast, yet he knew not why, and shook himself in the breeze that blew. The mine on the hill was a hundred rods from the trail to Greasewood Canon, but the forking path was well defined where his boots had scarred the near-lying rocka, and ground the sand persistently/ (To be continued.)

The earth is being put to a new use. It has been turned Into hair dye. Not all the earth, by any means. Only one little corner of it—a little red clay corner in this state, says a Denver writer. If you ask Mrs. Frances Sherman where that corner is she will reply: 'That's my secret." And you really can't blame her when you consider that if we knew the secret we could all come to Colorado and pick up a pnftVfltfni of cJay Jumps which would turn us into auburn-haired beauties within a day. No wonder Mrs. Sherman prefers to keep her clay bed as her own property. Nothing but a common reddish-brown clay it is to all appearances, and what magical chemical properties lurk in it she does not know. All she does knows of its workings is that, applied to the hair it changes it to a dark shade of reddish gold, such a shade as no other hair dye has ever succeeded in producing. It is only a few weeks since she learned the secret of the clay, and. at first she exprimented with it very gingerly. She tried it on locks of hair that she cut from ai iterenTh^dsrand iirevery casethe same results occurred. The hair was dyed to a beautiful shade of brown, having a bright tinge, and was darker or lighter, according to the length of time of the application. Its preparation is a slow one. First it must be ground into a mortar; next it is put through an 80-sieve, which means a fine one; fins* iy it is sifted through bolting cloth. The lumps of hard red clay, which look very much like adobe, come out from the bolting cloth operation in the form of a fine powder. From this it has been found that two kinds of dye can be made. For one, the powdered earth is simply mixed with water until it becomes a stiff paste, and there you are. For the other, the clay and water paste is baked until it turns an inky black. The baked clay is used for the darkest shades of dye. Never was anything more simple than the use of the dye. It is applied warm—that is, all that has to be remembered. The operator warms the pan of paste, then with a brush dipped in It, goes carefully all over the hair, brushing the paste fn from roots to ends. It is a queer thing that ft does not in any way affect the skin or scalp where it touches, although ft has so ^ulck an effect upon the hair. It washes off readily from the skin. Mrs. Sherman is a pioneer in the use of the X-ray for scalp treatment and also as a physician of many years' standing on matters connected with the hair she has experimented most carefully and thoroughly with this new discovery. All the gray hairs must be captured and colored, and this takes a great deal of time and much patience, but once done the job is over until the new hair begins to grow out after some months. It has been proved that the dye is permanent. Whatever shade it gives after being applied that shade it keeps forever after, and there is no daue^r of waking up some day to' find yourself a green-haired lady or a blue-beard\ as in the days of old-time hair dyeB. The chemical properties of the clay are so powerful that one application is all that is needed. After the paste has been thoroughly brushed in, the pastee sits, in all the patience with which she can possess her soul, for so long as the desired color requires. A lisrht shape close to a Titian takes only two hours' waiting: the darkest auburn wants twelve hours. At the end of that tfme she is shampooed in half a do^en waters, and then she may face herself in the glass and get acquainted with her new appearance. not 9?er twenty ieet high. The flow* era are much like the lily of the valley. They are pale and very fragrant. The nutmeg is the seed of the fruit, and mace is the thin covering over the seed. The fruit fs about as large as a peach. When ripe it breaks open and shows the little nut inside. The trees grow on the islands of Asia and in tropical America. They bear fruit seventy or eighty years, having ripe fruit upon them all the seasons. A fine tree in Jamaica has oyer 4,000 nutmegs on it yearly. The Dutch used to have all this nutmeg trade, as they owned the Bands islands, and conquered all the other traders and1 destroyed the trees. To keep the price up they at once burned /three pile* of nutmegs, each of which was as Ifcrg? as a church. Nature did not synrptt- M.hlze with such meanness. The nutmag pigeon, fminrt fn all the, Indian_ islands, did for the world what the Dutch had determined could not b> done—carried those nuts, which are their food, into all the surrounding countries, and trees grew again and) the world had the benefit.

She was so very bad that for the last three years she has not been able to wear her shoes. She had doctored all the time, but was gradually getting worse. Last winter Mr. Flanlgan, who was jrery much discouraged, called for some medicine at Mr. J. J. Dale's drug store in Carmi. Mr. Dale persuaded him to have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and he bought six boxes. His wife used five out of the six, before she was entirely cured. She is now as sound and as well as ever she was, completely restored to health, and free from any symptom whatever of dropsy. To say that Mrs. Flanlgan is pleased at her wonderful deliverance does not half express her feelings, and she and Mr. Flanlgan are loud in their praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of Mr. Dale for recommending this wonderful remedy to them. The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills cured Mrs. Flanlgan of such a severe case of dropsy, after the doctors had given her up, has made them the most talked of remedy ever known in White county. • • • • " ' - r - " | I — N*>«r YorK'* D e a t h R a t e .

The "brush and cultivator" ||ietbod of fighting the pea louse is accepted us the most generally effective. For this it is necessary that the peas be planted in rows, and when the insects are noticed the vines are brushed backward and forward with a good pine switch in ront of a cultivator drawn by a single ,\orse. In this manner the plant lice ire covered up as soon as they fall to the ground, and a large proportion of them are destroyed. Peas &awu late or on poor ground sustain most damage.

Tbe essential features of such an apparatus are a force pump, several yards of one-half inch cloth reenforced hose with bamboo hoisting rod and a spray tip. The size of the apparatus will depend on the amount of vegetation to be treated. For limited garden work and for the treatment of low plants the knapsack pumps or the small buiket force pumps are suitable, the former costing about $14 and the latter from $1! to $0. Ready fitted pumps—knapsacks and others—for the application of insecticides are now made by all the leading pump manufacturers of this country and also large reservoirs with pump attached for extended orchard operations, the price of the latter ranging from $25 to $75. The cost of a spraying outfit for orchard work may be greatly reduced by combining a suitable pump and fixtures with a home constructed tank or barrel to be mounted on a cart or wagon.

On a cold night in winter a traveler called at his house for lodg- I n g * f h e ready hospitality of the justice was about being displayed, when the traveler unluckily uttered a word which his host considered profane. Upon tills he iuformed his guest that be was a magistrate, pointed out the nature of the offense and explained tbe necessity of its being expiated by sitting an hour .u the stocks. Remonstrance was unavailing, for custom at that time allowed the magistrate to convict and punish at once, and in this case be acted as accuser, witness, jury, judge and sheriff, all in one. Cold as it was our worthy justice, aided by his son, couducted the traveler to the place of punishment, an open place near the meetfhg~house where the stocks were placed. Here the traveler was confined in the usual manner, the benevolent executor of the law remaining with him to beguile the time of its tedium by edifying conversation. At the expiration of the hour he was reconducted to the house and hospitably entertained till the next morning, when the traveler departed with, let us hope, a determination to consider his words more carefully before giving them utterance in the hearing of a con- Brlpntlons maclstrate.

PlJES. O r i g i n of "Whiff." Several reasons have been assigned to account for the word "Whig." universally known to all the English speaking people. By some the word is supposed to be a contraction of a longer one, "whiggamore," which in some parts of England and Scotland, especially Scotland, signifies a drover or herder. I t . w a s in 1079 that the word first became common in tfte-JMtish isles, when the struggle was in progress between the peasantry and the aristocracy to have or not to have the bill passed by parliament to exclude the Duke of York from the line of succession. All who were opposed to placing the duke in the line of succession were derisively called "whiggamores," or "drovers," just as the city dude of today speakers of the "grangers," tbe "grays," the "chin whiskers" and the "hayseeders." But Scotch tradition gives altogether a different reason for the existence of the word. It Is this: During the early religious wars iu Scotland the weakest of the factions used the words "We Ilcpe hi Co 1" as n motto.' The initials of i!;"s.' word* were placed ou I heir bauneis thus.

The new pest, the destructive pea aphis, has in the last two years inflicted enormous losses in various regions where peas are grown for canneries, as Maryland, Delaware. New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. Michigan and Wisconsin also have suffered from it. Some of the scientists claim that it is naturally more an enemy of clover thao T B S DESTBUCOTS PEA L0U8B. of peas. An encouraging feature noted in Canada is that wherever tbe aphis occurred It was attacked by parasitic enemies, tbe most vigorous of these being tbe small orange larvae of a specie* of dlplosls — minute maggots - which throwing a stream of the liquid back into the tank. Many of the larger pumps arc now constructed with two discharge orifices with this latter object in view or are provided with special agitators, and the use of such is recommended. In spraying orchard trees it will be found convenient in going between the rows to spray on each side, half of each tree in the row at a time and finish on the return rather than attempt to spray ail sides of one tree before taking up another. The object in spraying is to coat every leaf and part of the plant as lightly as compatible with thoroughness, and to avoid waste in doing this a mist spray is essential. The application to any part should stop when water begins to drip from the leaves. A light rain will not remove the poison, but a dashing one will probably necessitate a renewal of the application. > AHD STEAMSHIP LINES.

' King Leopold has conceived the idea of a vast network of electric railways connecting Antwerp and the coast with Brussels, and comprising also a line connecting Brussels and Paris, with cars capable of making the journey between the two capitals in two hours. Booker T. Washington has been placed at the head of the negro department of the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition and has issued an address to the colored people of the United States, inviting them, to show the progress made by them since the date of their emancipation.

Continued low temperatures which were continuously from f> to 11 degrees below normal, high relative humidity, considerable cloudiness and light showers during the past week have greatly delayed field work and almost checked the growth of much vegetation, and the germination of corn. The cool, damp weather has been favorable to wheat, rye, grass and pastures. Gi*eat damage on account of the r a v n g e s o f the Hessian lly in wheat is reported. This damage is almost general in the three southern tiers of counties, correspondents saying that wheat is crinkling and filling rapidly. Oats have made fair progress, but are rather short. Rye and barley are in good condition. Hay prospects are generally good, especially from new meadows. Com is germinating very slowly and in a few cases has rotted, and necessitated replanting.

Mrs. Hanna Omeger of New York city, according to Law Notes, recently recovered $750 damages for injuries sustained by an icicle falling from a tank on top of the defendant's building through the skylight of her house and striking the good dame on the crown of her head.

Quimby gave the poison to the children, gave them water to drink, ordered her to write the letter, waiting until she had partly written it, then left the house.

Field Marshal Count von Waldersc* has relinquished bis command and left Pekin. The officials of the Russian foreign office state that contrary to certain reports Russia has never favored the notion of all the constitutional power* guaranteeing the Chinese loan. She replied in term* similar to t h e U. S. that the executive could not guarantee without the consent of the legislative branches. Russia prefers a speedy settlement to a guarantee. The officials also say it is not true that Russia is bitter atrainst Britain for offering the plan now discussed. Her relations with Great Britain are nearer than for a long time. The Chinese express great satisfaction at the announcement of the intention of the c »urt to return to Pekin . in September, AU the foreign troops,, with the exception of the legation guards, are expected to withdraw ere the middle of that month, the only troops not already under orders of withdrawal being the Japanese, wnose government is sending reliefs.

It shows that in the 10 years subsequent to 1S90 outexports to these three countries rose from 89,000,000 to nearly 829,000.000. Our imports from Scandinavia are very small, being below 84.000,000 in 1890 "and only a little more than 85,000,000 in 1900, which was the record year in imports. Denmark is the principal factor in our Scandinavian trade, the exports to that country for 1900 havlng~ a value of more than SIS70TJ37*W9T--- while the combined shipments to Sweden and Norway were valued at about 810,0()0,000.

Thive unmasked men met Costen Burns, an aged and wealthy resident of that place, who was on the way to his quarries with ^2,100 to pay his hands. Tne hold-up men seized him by the throat, and made off with the cash. A posse was hastily organized and came upon the highwaymen about two miles from the scene of the robbery. A heavy exchange of shots took place between pursuers and pursued. One of the robbers was crippled by a shot and was an easy victim, while the leader was captured after his ammunition exhausted. Over $400 was found on the second robber's person, but the third man escaped, and is yet at large with 81,700 of the stolen money. According to a dispatch from Lord Kitcl ener.

Wtuutl&gton, June y.—In this discourse Dr. Taiinage arraigns the spirit of wild speculation and gives some account of the financial ruin of other days; Proverbs, xxiii, 5, ' 'Riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven." Money is a golden breasted bird with diver beak. It alights on the office desk or on the parlor centpr* table. Men and women stand and admire it. They do not notice that it has wings larger than a raven's, larger than a flam in*- go's, larger than an eagle's. One wave of the hand of misfortune and it spreads its beautiful plumage and is gone—"as an eagle toward heaven," my text says,though sometimes I think it goes in the other direction. Wall 8tre«-t Condemned* What a verification we have had of the flying capacity of riches in Wall street? And Wall street is one of the •longest streets in the world. It does not begin at the foot of Trinity church, New Yprk, and end at the East river, as many suppose. It reaches through all our American cities and across the sea. Encouraged by the revival of trade and by the fact that Wall street disasters of other years were so far back as to be forgotten, speculators _run_Jip_ the stocks from point to point until innocent people on the outside suppose that the stocks would always continue to ascend. They gather in from all parts of the country. Large aum*. of money are taken into Wall street and small sums of money. The crash ccmes, thank God, in time to warn off a great many who who were on their way thither, for the sadness of the thing is that a great many of the young men of our cities who save a little money for the purpose of starting themselves in business and who-have ¢500 ~or $1,COT or ¢2,000 or $10,000'go into Wall street and lose all. And if there ever was a time for the pulpit to speak out in regard to certain kinds of nefarious enterprises now is the time. Stocks rose and fell, and now they begin to rise again, and they will fall again until thousands of young men will be ruined unless the printing pres3 and the pulpit give emphatic utterance. My counsel is to countrymen, so far as they may hear of this discourse, if they hr ve surplus to invest it in first mortgages and in moneyed institutions which, though paying comparatively small interest, are sound and safe beyond dispute, and to stand clear of the Wall street vortex, where so maiiy have been swamped and swallowed. What a compliment it is to the healthy condition of our country that these recent disasters have in no way depressed trade! I thank God that Wall street's capacity to blast this country lias gone forever. A Btreot wltu a History. Across the island oi New York In 1G35 a wall made of stone and earth and cannon mounted was built to keep off the savages. Along by that wall a street was laid out, and as the street followed the line of the wall it was appropriately called w a n street. It is narrow, it is unarchitectural, and yet Its history is unique. Excepting Lombard street, London, it Is the mightiest street on this planet. There the government of the United States was born. There Washington held his levees. There Mrs. Adams and .*lrs. Caldwell and Mrs. Knox and otuer brilliant women of the Revolr-.ion displayed their charms. There Vfitherspoon and Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefleld sometimes preached. There Dr. Mason chided Alexander Hamilton for writing the constitution of the United States without any God In it. There negroes were sold in the slave mart. There criminals were harnessed to wheelbarrows and, like beasts of burden, compelled to draw or were lashed through the street behind carts to which they were fastened. Their fortunes havu come to coronation or burial since the day when reckless speculators in powdered hair and silver shoe buckles dodged Dr. r.n, the governor general of his majesty, clear down to yesterday at 3 o'clock. The history of Wall street is to a certain extent the financial, commercial, agricultural, mining, literary, artistic, moral and religious history of this country. They are the best men in this Country and there are the worst. Everything from unswerving integrity to tip-top scoundrelism— everything from heaven born charity to bloodless Shylockism. I want to put the plow in at the curbstone of Trinity and drive it clear through; to Wall street ferry. And so it shall go if the hor-ses are strong enough to draw the p!ow. • * * * JaatlSahla Speculation. Again, I have to remark that Wall street is a type throughout the country of legitimate speculation o a the one hand and of ruinous gambling on the other. Almost every merchant is to some extant a speculator. He depends a o t •mUr opoa t b * difference between the goods and the retail at which he disposes of them, but also upon the' fluctuation of the markets. If the markets greatly rise, he greatly gains. If the markets greatly sink, he greatly loses. It is as honest to deal in stocks as to deal in iron or coal or hardware or dry goods. He who condemns all stock dealings as though they were iniquitous simply shows his own ignorance. Stop all legitimate speculation in this country and you stop.ail banks, you stop all factories, you stop all storehouses, you stop all the great financial prosperities of this country. A stock dealer is only a commission merchant under another name. He gets his commission on one style of goods. You, the grocer, get your commission on another style of goods. The dollar that he makes Is Just as bright and fair and honest a dollar as the dollar earned by the day laborer. But here we must draw the line between legitimate speculation and ruinous gambling. You, a stock operator without any property behind you, financially irresponsible, sell $100 of nothing and get paid for it. You sell 100 shares at $10,000 at 3d days. If at the end of 30 days you can get the scrip for $9,000, you have made a thousand. If at the end of SO days you have to pay $11,000, then you have lost a thousand. Now that is trafficking in fiction; that is betting on chances; that involves the spirit of gambling as much as anything that ever goes on in the lowest gambling hell. HU tor leal Gambling Scheme. But France must have its gambling expedttton^and that waa-in 1716. John Law's Mississippi scheme, it was called. The French had heard that this American continent was built out of solid gold, and the project was to take it acroaa_the ocean and drop it in France. Excitement beyond anything that had yet been seen in the world. Three hundred thousand applicants for shares. Excitement s o great that sometimes the mounted military had to disperse the crowds that had come to buy the stock. Five hundred temporary tents built to accommodate the people until they could have opportunity of interviewing John Law. A lady of great fashion had her coachman upset her near the place where John Law was passing in order that she might have an interview with that benevolent and sympathetic gentleman. Stocks went up to 2,050 per cent, until one day suspicion got into the market, and down it all went —John Law's Mississippi scheme— burying its projector and some cf the greatest financiers i n ^ l l France, and was almost as bad as a French revolution. Sedate England took its chance in 1720. That was the South Sea bubble. They, proposed to transfer all the gold of Peru and Mexico and the islands of the sea to England. Five millions' worth of shares were put on the market at £o00 a share. The books open, in a few days it was all taken and twice the amount subscribed. Excitement followed excitement until all kinds of gambling projects came forth under the wing of this South Sea -enterprise.—JTbxrs~^wa^~^~laTg«~CTj pany formed with great capital for providing funerals for all parts of the land. Another company with large capital—£5,000,000 of capital—to develop a wheel in perpetual motion. Another company with a capital of £4,- 000,000 to insure people against loss by servants. Another company with £ 2 , - 500,000- capital to transplant walnut trees from Virginia to England. Then, to cap the climax, a company was formed for "a great undertaking, nobody to know what it is." And, lo, £600,000 in shares were offered at £100 a share. Books were opened at 9 o'clock in the morning and closed at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the first day it was all subscribed. "A great undertaking, nobody to know what it is."- Th* I-Argest Swindle*. But it was left for our own country to surpass all. about thirty-seven years ago. We have the highest mountains and the greatest-- cataracts and the longest rivers, and, of course, we had J to have the largest swindle. One would have thought that the nation j had seen enough in that direction dur- | ing the morus multicaulis excitement. ! when almost every man had a bunch of crawling silkworms in his house, out of which he expected to mako a fortune. But all this excitement wa3 as nothing compared with what took place in 1864 when a man near Titusvllle, Pa., digging for a well, struck oil. Twelve hundred oil companies call for a billion of stock. Prominent members of churches, as soon as a certain amount of stock was assigned them, saw it was their privilege to become presidents or secretaries or members of the board of direction. Some of these companies never had a foot of ground, never expected to have. Their entire equipment was a map of a region where oil might be and two vials of grease, crude and clarified. People rushed down from all parts of the country by the first train and put their hard earnings tn the gulf. A young man came down from the oil regions of Pennsylvania utterly demonted, having sold his farm at a fabulous price be* cause it was supposed there might be oil there—coming to a hotel in Philadelphia at the time I was living there,' throwing down a $5,0w check to pay for his noonday meal and saying he did not care anything about the change! Then he stepped back to the gas burner to lighf his cigar with a $1,000 note. Utterly insane. Frayer for Sacoe** O men of Wall street and of all streets, stand back from the nefarious enterprises. J o i n that - great company | of Christian men who are maintaining their integrity, notwithstanding all the pressure of temptation. In the morning, when you open business in the broker's office or in the banking bouse, ask God's blessing, and w h e n you close it pronounce a benediction upon it. A kind of business that men cannot engage in without prayer is no business for you. I wish that the words of George Peabody, uttered in the hearing of the people of his native town—Danvers, Mass.—I wish that those words could be uttered in the hearing of all young men throughout the land. He said: "Though Providence has granted me unvaried and universal success In the pursuit of fortune in other lands I am still in heart the humble boy who left yonder unpretending dwelling. There is not a youth within the sound of my voice whose early opportunities and advantages are not very much greater than were my own, and I have since achieved nothing that is impossible to the most humble boy among you." George Peabody's success* in business was not more remarkable than his integrity and his great hearted benevolence. I pray uporryi protecting and prospering blessing. I hope you may all make fortunes for time and fortunes for eternity. The Day of Accounting. Some day when you come out of your place of business and you go to the clearing house or the place of custom or the bank or your own home—as you come out of your place of business just look up at the clock in the tower and see by the movement of the hands how your life is rapidly going away and be reminded of the fact that before God's throne of inexorable judgment you must yet give account for what you have done since the day you sold the first yard of cloth or the first pound of 3Ugar. I pray for you all prosperity. Stand close by Christ, and Christ will stand close by you. The greater the temptation the more magnificent the reward. But, alas, for the stock gambler— what will he do in the judgment? That day will settle everything. That to the stock gambler will be a "break" at the "first call." No smuggling into heaven.' No "collaterals" on which to trade your way in. Go in through Christ the Lord or you will forever stay out. God forbid that after you have done your last day's work on earth and the hushed assembly stands around with bowed heads at your obsequies—God forbid that the most appropriate text for your funeral oration should be, "As a partridge sltteth on eggs and hatcheth them not, so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at the end he shall be a fool," or that them^sralSpTbprTate funeral psalm should be the words of the poet: Price of many a crime u n t o l d - Gold, gold, gold, gold.

A Rostian Surgeon Perform* an Operation Ueretoiore Regarded a« Flatly ImpoMlble—Dr. KalnUfcy Cute AwaT About Four lachee of. an Armory* T H E ROOSTER IS M U T E N O W . Hut I t Goes to Alt the Trouble That Accompanies Crowing. Now that warm weather is at hand and windows are open in the early morning, many complaints are being received by the police about the crowing and cackling of chickjens kept by persons in the residence~~portion of the city, says the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun.The police regulations prohibit the keeping of such fowls when they are an annoyance, and a fine on the owner may be imposed. Inquiry at police headquarters to-day elicited the information that such complaints should be supported by the testimony of two witnesses from different houses to show that the noise is a nuisance. In this connection a story was t o d of a man in the northwestern section whD had a rooster whose crowing qualities were of the best and whose voice could be heard all over the neighborhood. Finally his neighbors could endure the noise no longer and they hauled the owner of the rooster into court. Here he promised the bird should troub'.e them no more, and on that promise was released. The next morning the neighbors saw the rooster in the yard and held an indignation meeting. Calling on the owner, they wanted to know why he had not kept his promise. ' H e asked them If the bird was annoying any one. It had not yet. but they thought it might. He thereupon pointed to the rooster, which was napping its wings and going through all the motions accompanying crowing, but without a sound issuing from his throat, and informed them that he had taken It to a veterinarian, who bad.removed its vocal chords. It is said the antics of the dumb rooster while attempting to crow are most amusing. Surgery has reached a point a t which almost any marvel may be expected, but it has remained for a Russian surgeon to attempt—and succeed in performing— an operation hitherto regarded as flatly impossible. He ha repaired the great femoral artery; has spliced on to it an artificial length just as a plumber might solder a piece of leaden pipe to a brass one. The better to comprehend exactly how radical and difficult a thins Dr. Kaintsky accomplished it is necessary to explain something of t h e nature and functions of arteries. In the first place an artery differs entirely from a vein. If a vein is cut the blood escapes fo a while and after a little the vessel lies fiat and collapsed. An artery does not. Its inner coat is so arranged that a series of stiff fibrous rings surround it and prevent it from collapsing. That is one of the reasons w h y when an artery is severed blood continues to flow from it. These were only some of the problems which confronted Dr. Kaintsky when they brought to his hospital In St. Petersburg a very rich farmer and cattle raiser named Ivan Poitinkosh. This man, while driving in a sleigh, had collided with a stumpT Poitinkosh was hurled out violently and in falling was practically impaled upon a broken branch. The jagged piece of wood struck him just belowthe hip joint and ranged down for about four inches. The wound produced was an exceedingly ugly and ragged one. It was directly over and in line with the fermoral artery, which supplies the entire leg with blood; but, although this great vessel was entirely laid bare and badly bruised it forunately escaped puncture. The injured man was not brought to the hospital unttl three -days after the aeeideat,-and i t was-at once evident to Dr. Kaintsky that only heroic measures would save either life or leg to his patient- It appeared to Dr. Kaintsky that gangrene was threatened. As nearly as the surgeon could estimate he had just three day3 before an operation became absolutely imperative. He had already determined upon the heroic operation of removing the injured part of the femoral artery and replacing it with an artificial substitute. Dr. Kaintsky wanted to make a tube six inches long which so closely resemble the actual tissue of a human artery that it would be borne without protest by the organism in which it was to be placed. At the end of those three days Dr. Kaintsky, tired but triumphant, emerged from his laboratory. Poitinkosh was anaesthetized and carried to the operating table. Dr. Kaintsky pointed out to the watching surgeons and students the signs on the foot of the patient_that marked the onset oi gangrene, and theiTSe told them that he intended to remove part of the injured artery and replace it with an artificial substitute. Under the best conditions the dissection of the femoral artery is a dangerous piece of work, and hers was a case where the vessel was almost concealed by injured tissues. At last the artery was freed and the surgeon showed his wondering assistants that nearly four inches of the vessel was ready to disintegrate. All eyes watched Dr. Kaintsky as he himself placed clamps upon the big artery. The artery clamp having been fixed, Dr. Kaintsky cut away about four inches of the artery. From the pocket in front of his op?rating gown Dr. Kaintsky drew a silver aseptic case. This he opened and from it drew a small, hollow, elastic, almost colorless tube about five inches long. Almost imediatelv Dr. Kaintsky besan to place the artificial artery in position. He drew it between his lingers so as to expel all air and placed a pair of artery forceps upon one end. Then he slipped one end of the artery into the tube and stitched it into place. Quickly the same procedure was carried oa at the other end. and then Dr. Kaintsky removed the clamp whic^i was holding back the blood from th? mended artery. The blood rushed through Its new channel, pumping out the collapsed tube, and it was actually difficult to tell the artificial artery from the real one. At the same instant, too, a good healthy pulsation could be felt in the patient's ankle.— Philadelphia Times.

Tne general public has no idea of the gigantic fills and marvelous tunnel tag through the Rockies in connection with this work. The Sherman Tunnel, forming a very important part of the project, is situated between Dale Creek and Tie Siding, nearly half a mile long. In the mountain it pierces, is foundjthe Archchean formation, one of the hardest of granite rocks, from which comes Sherman gravel, so extensively used on the Uuion Pacific for ballast. Standing conspicuously out in /this great engineering work are two fills. Lone Tree Fill and Dale Creek FilL The embankment at the last named fill is 145 feet in the highest place, 900 feet long, 40 feet wide at the top, 115 feet at the bottom. The Lone Tree Fill is southeast of the town of Sherman. The embankment is 130 feet high at the highest point. These two fills involved the handling of 500,000 cubic yards of earth and stone. Two other embankments adjacent required the moving of 250,000 yards, so that this particular part of the work, all within a distance of a mile, necessitated the moving of more than ?f>0,- 000 cubic yards of earth and rock. Through the embankments pass large concrete and iron culverts, to provide for the drainage of the large area obtaining on Dale Creek. The famous Dale Creek Bridge will now be a thing of the pust, and the uniqu memorial to the energies and enterprise of the builders of the Union Pacific, known as the Ames Monument, will no longer be seen by tourists. Jn their place thc-new line-abounds with Scenery of grandeur and preat sublimity, and unending attractions all through. The new tunnel is so well constructed with freedom from density of air, that one m.iy see clearly with the naked eye from one end of the tunnel to the other. The saving in motive power to the Union Pacific by the construction of the new line will be immense, and is evidenced by the fact that the maximum- grada per mile is reduced from 97.68 per cent to 43.3 per cent between Bufonl. and Laramie alone. The Union Pacific will now be able to make faster time to all western points, and haul heavier loads than before. Record-* Ii. i't lu C£tlmn»«.

An experiment has been conducted at the Canadian experimental farm duriny the past three years in phmtinf potatoes at different depths in row* 2½ feet apart and l'J inches apart in the rows. The sets had at least three eyes each and were about uniform in size. The soil was sandy loam both years. Level cultivation was adopted, and thus very little soil was thrown on the potatoes after they were covered at the time of plautiug. The best yields were obtained from planting the sets only an inch deep. In 1800 and 1000 it was found that most of the tubers were formed within four inches of the surface of the soil, even where the set had been planted six, seven and eight inches deep. Where the sets were plauted less than four inches deep nearly all the tubers were formed between that and the surface of the soil. The potato grows more rapidly in warm soil than in that which is cooler. The soil within the tirst tliree-ur four inches of the surface is warmer than that three or four iuches lower down; hence the conditions are more favorable for the potato. The tubers when the potato is in the wild state develop near the surface or on the surface of the ground,—It seems natural* therefore, that the cultivated potato should be planted shallow. • Ou the other hand, much of the success of shallow planting will depend News a n d No^a*.

A JOSSHOUSE. on tKenloTsture^T^tue^s^Tt^rihe-sea^ son is very dry. the first two inches of soil may be so dry that the potato will not take root readily, and the season of growth will thUs be shortened. Once the roots begin to grow they speedily reach a depth where plenty of moisture is found. It seems reasonable to conclude that where the soil is uot dry the best results can be obtained from shallow planting. In any case, early planted potatoes will probably succeed best when plauted shallow, as the ground will be wanner. In places where the spring is late or where the ground is cold, best results will probably be had by shallow planting. Although the best results have been obtained in sandy loam soil by planting the sets one inch deep, this method is not recommended for Held culture. Unless the surface of the soil is kept loose and free from weeds, the potato crop will not be large. In order to kill a large proportion of the weeds which grow, the ground should be harrowed once or twice before the potatoes come up or just as they are coming up. If the sets were planted only one inch deep and the soil harrowed, many of them would be dragged out; hence about four inches deep would be tbe best. Pen Picture of t h e One In San F r a n - cisco's Chinese Quarter.

Practical Device For DlstrTlinilnsT Food F o r Hogi, A method of setting a hog trough So as to keep it clean is shown in the accompanying cut from the Ohio Farmer. The arrangement is seen from the cup and saucer are always ready for the warrior. This represents a man killed in battle, whose noble steed, missing his master, refused to eat and so pined away and died. A welcome is assured to them iu the better land If the work of man can accomplish it. The horse and rider are to them (the Chinese) what the images of saints are to Christians. In another corner Is a tiny bowl of water. The gods occasionally come down and wash. At certain times of the year di: rect questions are written on slips of paper and put into the hands of one of the greatest josses. These disappear, and then the joss either nods or shakes his head in answer. On the altar or altars are several brass and copper vessels, in which the worshiper leaves a sandalwood punk burning in such a position that the ashes will fall on the fine sand in the vessel. When one of these 4s full, it is emptied into an immense bronze vase on the balcony, and this, in turn, is emptied Into the ocean. The Chinese take good care of their living and never forget their dead. Onoe a year, the fourteenth day of the seventh mouth, they have a solemn ceremony by which they send gold and sliver And cloth to the great army of the departed. A furnace is a necessity in a jossbouse. It is lighted on ceremonial days, and paper representing cloth, gold and silver is burned, the ashes of the~~maTerials beTiTgT^f^eTF^iTnds, useful in spirit land. Private families send to their relatives and friends whatever they want by throwing the gold, the silver aud the cloth paper, also fruits, into a tire built iu the street in front of their houses.

From 18 inches to 2 feet of tbe bottom of the partition or fence, as tbe case may be, is made to swing, being fastened by strong hinges to the parallel boards above. When feed is being placed in the trough, this Is allowed to hang in its natural position and is secured there by the lever whose lower end catches on the Inside of the trough, as shown in the upper figure. After the feed is ready the lever is pushed to one side until its lower end clears the Inside of the trough, and the partition is then swung out and secured to the outer edge of the trough by the lever again being pushed In position. The lever is attached to tbe swinging partition by a single bolt. This arrangement keeps the hogs away from the trough until the feed is distributed ready for them and also keeps them from getting their feet in tbe trough while eating. THE TALE OF A TACK. / How an Italian Tenor Was Enabled to Reach High C. "There was once an Italian tenor at Coveut Garden of the name of Tasca, who, I am sorry to say, sang his own praises better than the score," says Mr. William Parry, the stage director at the Metropolitan Opera House. "For this and other reasons he was strongly disliked by all the workmen. One day he came to me and said, with great show of mystery: " 'Tell me the exact spot.' "I could not for the life of me understand what he wauted. " 'You know well enough what 1 mean,' he persisted. " 'Show me the spot where Tamberlik sang the high C. There is always one spot on the stage that is better than all the others to stand on when you sing. Where is it?' " 'I'll show you later,' 1 replied. 'But, remember, never a word. It would cost me my place if it should leak out* "Then I drove a brass tack into one of the stage boards, and he was overjoyed when I solemnly pointed out the exact spot,' and so were the workmen at the prospect of a joke at his expense. That night he carefully stood on the tack and sang the high C. Rushing into the wings, he exclaimed: 'Beautiful! Wonderful!' Ever afterward, no matter what part of the stage demanded his presence, he would rush to the tack when the time for the high C came and there deliver it."—Saturday Evening Post.

Pinwrree, which occurred at the Grand hotel, London, England, Tuesday, June 18, the people of Detroit and Michigan lose their most picturesque politician and public man. Friends and foes unite in pronouncing him one bt the great men of the country—a brave soldier, a daring and successful reformer, a sagacious, vigorous public official and a man of great pergonal integrity and patriotism. In spite of his imperfections, peculiarities and faults and notwithstanding the obstacles thrown in his way by political enemies and corporate interests, P'ngree accomplished in ten years a great deal for municipal reform and more equal taxation., His loss will be more deeply felt in his home city, Detroit, where he has lived since the war and has always identified himself on the side of municipal reform. Four times he was elected mayor or until he was called to the highest office in the state being elected governor for two terms by an overwhelm, mar majority.

YA Washington, Jsne 16.—In this disoouraft Dr. T«JUaAf« raise* high expectations of the day when that which 1« now only dimly seen will be fully revealed; text. Job xxri, 14: "Lo, these are parts est his ways. But how little •SK portion ts heard of him? But the thunder of bis power who can under- *tandr The least understood b-lag in the -inrverseisOod. Blasphemous would he any attempt by painting or sculpture ¢0 represent feim. Egyptian hieroglyph* tried to suggest him by putting the figure of an eye upon a sword, implying that God sees and rules, but JfOw imperfect the suggestion! When sre apeak of htm, it is almost always in language figurative. He is "Light" or "Dayspring From on High," or he is a *Hlgh Tower" or the "Fountain of living Waters." His splendor is so great that no man can see htm and live. When the group of great theologians assembled in Westminster abbey for the purpose of making a system oi reiigioas belief, they firstof ail wanted an answer to the question, "Who is God?" No one desired to undertake the answering of that overmastering question. They finally concluded to give the task to the youngest man in the assembly, who happened to be Rer. George Gillespie. He consented to undertake it on the condition that they would first unite with ttm fa prayer for divine direction. He began tile prayer by saying, "O God, thou art a spirit infinite, infinite, eternal and unchangeable in thy being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth." That first sentence •of Gillespie's prayer was unanimously ;adopted by the assembly as the best .definition of God. But, after all, it w^as only a partial success, and after . ererytiiing that language can do when put to Che utmost strain and all we can see of God in the natural world and realize of God in the providential world we are forced to cry out with Jbb an my text: "Lo, these are parts • dt the ways. But how little a portion is heard of him? But the thunder of lite power who can understand?" God's War or Doing. We tfif to satisfy ourselves with saying, "It Is natural law that controls things, grayitatkm is at work, centripetal and centrifugal forces respond to each other." But what is natural law? It is only God's way of doing things. AJ every point in the universe it is <3od's direct and continuous power that controls and harmonises and sustains. That power withdrawn one instant would make the planetary system and afi the worlds which astronomy reveals one universal wreck, bereft hemispheres, dismantled sunsets, dead constsrlaiionB, debris of worlds. What power it must be that keeps the internal fires of our world imprisoned— • only here and there spurting from a ' Gotopaxl, or a Stromboli, or from a Vesuvius, putting Pompeii and Hercuteneum into sepulcher, but for the rmost part the internal fires chained in their cages of rock, and century after century unable to break the chain or burst open the door! What power to keep the component parts of the air in right-proportion, so that all around the world the nations may breathe in Ihealtb, the frosts and the heats h inhered from working universal demolition! Power, as Isaiah says, "to take up the isles as a very little thing," -Ceylon and Borneo and Hawalis as though they were pebbles; power to weigh the "mountains in scales" and fjte "hills in balances"—Tener if e and the Cordilleras. To move a rock we 'must have lever and screw and great •machinery, but God moves the world wMh nothing but a word; power to -create worlds and power to destroy them, as from observation again and again they have been seen red with flame, thon pale vi'.h ashes and then scattered. Working* of the Divine F a w n , We get some little idea of the divine power when we see how it buries the iproudest citi-*» and n:»::.<n&. Ancient Memphis it has troand up i ntil many of its ruins are no larger than your thumb nail and you can hardly find a souvenir large enough to rewind you of your visit. The city of Tyre is under the sea which washes the shore, on which are only a few crumb/ing • pillars left Sodom and Gormorrab are covered by waters so deathful that not a fish can live in them. Babylon tnd Nineyah are so blotted out of existence that not one uninjured sba*t of vthetr ancient splendor remains. Nothing but omnipotence could have put them down and put them under. The antediluvian world was able to send to the postdiluvian world only one ship with a very small passenger list. Omnipotence first roiled the seas over (the land, and then told them to* go J back to their usual channels as rivers <aad lakes and oceans. At omnipotent oocntnaad tit* waters oouudng upon 4kolr preyr^and at rat&ij«4ent command slinking back into their appropriate places. By such reheated we try to arouse our appreciation of what omnipotence is, and our reverence is excited, and our adoration is intensified, but after all we find ourselves at the foot of a mountain we cannot climb, hovering over a depth we cannot fathom, at the rim of a circumference _ , cannot compass, and we feel like first going down on our knees and then ttfee falling fiat upon our faces as we scclaim: "Lo, these are parts of his ways. But how little a portion is heard of him? But the thunder of his power who can understand?" The God of Abraham. A tradition says that Abraham of the Old Testament was when an infant hidden In a cave because of the persecutions of Nimrod. The first time the child came out of the cavern it was night, and he looked up at the star and cried, "This is my God," but the star disappeared, and Abraham said, "No, that cannot be my God." After awhile the moon rose, and Abraham said, "That is my God," but it set, and Abraham was again disappointed. After awhile the sun rose, and he said, "Why, truly, here is my God," but the sun went down,.and Abraham was saddened. Not until the Gqd of the Bible appeared to Abraham was he satisfied, and his faith was so great that he was called "the Father of the Faithful." All that the theologians know of God's wisdom is insignificant compared with the wisdom beyond human comprehension. The .human racenever has had and never will have enough brain or heart to measure the wisdom of God. I can think of only two authors who have expressed the exact facts. The one was Paul; who says, "Oh, the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God, how unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out." The other author was the scientist who composed my text. I think he wrote it during a thunderstorm, for the chapter says much about the clouds and describes the tremor of the earth under the reverberations. Witty writers sometimes depreciate the thunder and say it is the lightning that strikes, but I am sure God thinks well of the thunder, or be would not make so much of it, and all up and down the Bible he uses the thunder to give emphasis. It was the thunder that shook Sinai when the law was given. It was with thunder that the Lord discomfited the PliilisCines at Eben-ezer. Job pictures the warhorse as having a neck clothed with thunder. St. John, in an apocalyptic vision, again and again heard the thunder. The thunder, which is rfbw quite well explained by the electricians, was the overpowering mystery of the ancients, and standing among those mysteries Job exclaimed: "Lo, these are part3 of his ways. But how little a portion is heard of him? But the thunder of his power who can understand? - The Omnipracnce of God. We have all been painfully reminded in our own experiences that we cannot be in two places at the same time. Madler, the astronomer, went on with his explorations until ~he concluded that the star Alcyone, one of the Pleiades, was the center of the universe, and it was a fixed world, and all the other worlds revolved around that world, and some think that that world is heaven and God's throne is there, and there reside the nations of the blest. But he is no more there than he is here. Indeed, Alcyone has been found to be in motion, and it also is revolving around some great center. But no place has yet been found where God is not present by sustaining power. Omnipresence! Who fu.ly appreciates it? Not I. Not you. Sometimes we hear bim in a whisper. Sometimes we hear him in the voice of the storm that jars the Adriondacks. But we cannot swim across this ocean. The finite cannot measure the infinite, We feel as Job did after finding God in the gold mines and the silver mines of Asia, saying, "There is a vein for the silver and a place for the gold where they fine it." And after exploring the heavens as an astromoner and finding God in distant worlds and becoming acquainted with Orion and Mazzaroth and Arcturus and noticing the tides of the sea the inspired poet expresses his incapacity to understand such evidences of wisdom and power and says: "Lo, these are parts of his ways. But hew little a portion is heard of hira? But the thunder of his power who can understand?" So everysystem of theology has attempted to describe and define the divine attribute of love. Easy enough is it to define fatherly love, motherly love, conjugal love, fraternal love, sisterly love and love of country, but the love of God defies all vocabulary. For many hundreds of years poets have tried to sing it and painters have tried to skeich it and ministers of the gospel to preach it and martyrs in the fire and Christians on their deathbeds have extolled it, and we' can tell what it is like, but no one has yet fully told what it is. Men speak of the love of God SB though it were first felt between the pointing of Bethlehem star and the pounding of the crucifixion hammer. But no! Long before that existed the love of God. Sooto«> God Ftoos to Foeo. Only glimpses of God have we in this world, but what an hour it will be when we first sea him, and we will have no more fright than I feel when I now see you. It will not be with mortal eye that we will behold him, but with the vision of a cleansed, forgiven and perfected spirit. Of all the qulntllllon ages of eternity to us the most thrilling hour will be the first hour when we meet him as he is. This may account for something you have all seen and may not have understood. Have you not noticed how that after death of the old Christian looks young again or the features resume the look of 20 or 30 years before? The weariness is gone out of the face; there is something strikingly restful and placid; there is a pleased look where before there was a disturbed look. What has wrought the change? I think the dying Christian saw God. At the moment the soul left the body what the soul saw left its impression on the countenance. I think that is what gave that old Christian face after death the radiant and triumphant look. The bestormed spirit has' reached the harbor; the hard battle of life is ended in victory. The body took that look the moment heaven began, and the curtain was completely lifted and the glories of Jehovah's presence rushed upon the soul. The departing sp'rlt left on the old man's face a glad good- j by, and that first look gave the pleased curve to the dying lip and smootned out the wrinkles and touched all the lineaments with an indescribable radiance. As no one else explains that improved and gladdened post mortem look, I try to explain it, saying: "He saw God!" "She sa w-G^dT 1A BUILDING CEMENT. A VERY IMPORTANT piflCOVRRY BY THOMAS A. LDISON. Urn a s p e c t e So See B i s C « m u t Drtte Oot .yaarrtea Stoao M Hallatos Mstorlol— IavoBttoa Will Fr»cUo**»7 V« * # s y with Keeping Flow e n Freeh. Cut flowers, though universally employed,— are- -seldom- Jtreaied_ as__they_ ought to be, so here are a few hints for those who like to keep their blossoms fresh as long as possible. First of all, they should be put into some large receptacle and sprinkled freeiy with water all over. Only after this preliminary operation it is wise to transfer them to the several pots they are to occupy. They ought to be taken out every morning, sprinkled as on the first day, the tip of the stem then being cut off, and fresh water, flowing from a tap, should be allowed to run over the stalks, holding the flowers head downward, says the Philadelphia Press. Finally, and herein lies the principal secret of success, the water in the vases may be "doctored" in this manner. Mix thoroughly together a tab*espoonful of finely shredded yeiiow soap, enough chloride of sodium to cover a florin, and half a pint of water. Put in a portion of this mixture into every receptacle and fill in the usual way. A pinch of borax in each one will preserve all the coloring of the most brilliant flowers, and by renewing the supply of the above solution every two or three days the flowers will last for a couple of weeks or more. Palms and all foliage plants must be carefully but moderately watered, washed, put outside daily for a bath of air and sunshine and must not be stood in draughty places.— Electricity at Long Rouge. The street cars in Oakland, Cal., are now operated with electricity from the Yuba river, 140 miles distant. The water power, having been converted into electricity, is carried on wires sixtenths of an inch in diameter, made of an alloy of copper and aluminum. The electrical pressure is 40,000 volts, and the loss. In transmission is said to 5 per cent. This is by far the longest electrical transmission system for power purposes in existence, and if the loss is as small as it is stated to be, it is the most promising indication of the possibilities of long-distance transmission yet furnished. "Something like six years ago," says the Railway Engineering Review, "a test of electric transmission oyer a line between Frankfort and Lauffen, in Germany, a distance of 110 mi es, was made for experimental purposes, but not until the test of the plant above referred to has transmission for commercial purposes over a line of such great length been a fact." Thomas A. Edison has discovered how to jnake "Portland cement" at an extremely small cost, says a recent New York dispatch to the Chicago Record-Herald. This statement, at first thought, seems to be comparatively unimporant. .Yet Edison knows the immense value of his discovery. He expects that his cement will drive out quarried stone and brick as bulldtng materials. He foresees as the result of his discovery that it will coat very little to build houses, and that therefore rents will he very low. He <also foresees that these same houses will be as nearly fireproof as concrete and steel frames can makcthern. With cement so cheap a house will be "poured," not builded. And the "pouring" of the house will occupy but a few days. The house will be habitable when the concrete solidifies. For several years Mr. Edison has been working on the recent problem and the problem of making cheap and practical storage batteries. Both inventions have now been perfected. Insurance Engineering, which will be published tomorrow,will contain an interview of its editor with Mr. Bdiaon. The Inventor Bays cement, combined with steel, will be the building material of the future, and continues: "My impression Is that the time will come, when each contractor will have standard forms of houseB, twenty or thirty varieties. The forms will be made of wood, and a contractor, using one of the standard shapes; will simply go out and 'pour' a house. There will probably be hundreds of designs., The contractors will put up their concrete fixer and have their beams and forms ready. They will pour the form for the first story and so on. To do that all they will require will be common labor—a few men and one boss. That is what 1 think will be done eventually. And such a house can be made very cheaply. It seems to me there will not be much use for carpenters then. There will be cabinet makers, to be sure. Why, even the floors and stairs w>H be made of concrete." Mr. Edison was asked if Portland cement would be cheap enough for general use. "Yes, I think so," he said. "When the price of cement gets to be ¢1 a barrel or ¢5 a ton, and people know they can get it for that there will be enormous quantities of it used." | The inventor said that one part of cement, three parts of sand and five parts of broken stone would be the mixture for concrete, and that broken stone was better than brick. In reply to a question as to the thickness of walls in the ordinary house he said: "The bottom course ought to be of Portland cement, twelve inches up to the first story, and eight inches above the first story. The roofs i/ill be of cement also." Five Tdtonts. The last man to gd for a helpfng hand for any new undertaking is the man who has plenty of time on his bands. It is the man and woman who are doing most who are always willing to do a little more. The people who are tired of life are not those who work, but those who are too proud or too lazy to do so. Many of the rich are morbidly restless, while those who have to earn their daily bread are comparatively contented and ibappy. The Bible says that "the sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much." (Eccl. v. 12); and the busy worker has health and blessing which the listless idler never knows.—Selected. South'* Granite Quarrle*. "The granite quarries of the south are not only numerous, but are rapidly coming into competition with the quarries of northern states," observed T* H. Binder of Atlanta, at the Riggs in Washington recently.. "A contract for 65,000 cubic feet of curbing from Georgia has recently been put down here in the District of Columbia several days in advance of the stipulated time, whereas the contracts from the northern quarries are very often filled considerably after the time limit has expired. The granite of Georgia now goes as far north as Philadelphia and as far west as Chicago. The state contains an inexhaustible supply. Stone mountain, a short distance out of Atlanta, is seven miles in circumference aud three miles in diameter, rising 1,- 600 feet high and forming one of the geological wonders of the world. It is without a flaw and without seam3 of any kind. IndlTldeol KoBpeiulbirttr. Francis E.

That the world is by no means free from the menace of a great epidemic o r this ^iaiasHleath1* is the declaration of a man who speaks with authority. Dr. L. F. Barker is a pathologist who was- at one time a member of the faculty of the) Johns Hopkins university, and who now occupies the chair1 of pathology at the Rush Medical College, Chicago. Two years ago he was sent to India and China by the former institution to study the plague conditions, and later was appointed to investigate the plague cases in San Francisco for the government. Probably there is no American who is better qualified to speak on this subject than is Dr. Barker. Ip a recent address before a medical society Dr. Barker announced that American cities are far from immune as to the "sneaking pestilence," which is spread chiefly through the agency ot rats. In the great epidemic of the fourteenth century, which cost 25,900,000 human lives, it was a characteristic of the plague that it developed by bounds. Before there was time to take precautions a vast proportion of a community would be in the grasp of the disease, while the remainder would be terrorstricken. Hindu writings 80 years old note the fact that a visitation of the plague was always preceded by a great mortality among rats. Dr. Barker noted that in India he saw dead rats everywhere, and the same phenomenon has been observed In Japan. It Is believed that If the rodents eoold be exterminated, as the government of Japan has proposed, the danger of an epidemic of the plague would be much reduced. t< . . • • > • • • . - . A Pike County Miracle. Veipen, Ind., June 17.—Wm. 0. B. Sullivan, a farmer of this place, and who is a brother of ex-Representative Sullivan of Pike and Dubois counties, has had a remarkable experience recently. Mr. Sullivan is 49 years of age, and has been a citizen of Pike County for 30 years. For two years, he has suffered much with kidney trouble and rheumatism. His shoulders and side were very sore and stiff, and his back was so bad he could hardly straighten up at all. He had palpitation of ihe heart, and a smothering which was very distressing. He used three boxes of Oodd's Kidney Pills, and is as strong and well as ever he was. He pronounces his cure a miracle. Mr. Sullivan's statement of his case is startling. "A month ago I was a cripple. Today I can do a hard day's work every day, and have not a single ache or pain." *Dodd'8 Kidney Pills have done some wonderful cures in Indiana, but none more miraculous than that in the case of Mr. Sullivan. A R T O P W A L K I N G . „ , <. Common-Settle Footwear ItoJce* Good Pedes trlan of American Girl. The American girl is learning how to walk. For many years she has been a martyr to French high-heeled shoes, the toothpick toe. and the wafer sole, but now common sense footwear is the vogue. It took a long period of discomfort, if not actual suffering, to convince woman that she could wear a sensible shoe and not detract from her personal charms, comments the Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune. Now that she has been convinced of the error of her ways more interest is manifested in the correct style of walking and the proper manner of holding the skirt. In correct walking there is the poetry of motion, the delicacy of poise and the scientific adjustment of the weight of the body which the ancients knew so well, but which> the moderns, siurfc if they do not absolutely ignore. The girl who walks correctly i& a joy to herself and all who behold her. She has some purpose in life. SheJs, nine times out of. ten, neatly dressed, bright-eyed and healthy. Watch her and you will see that the boil of her foot is the center upon which the weight of the body swings; and that upon the hesl and the toes, there is an even balance of the strata, if such it may be called, the heel not being called upon to do more than the toes or the toea more than the heel, while the sole is the medium between the two extremes. In correct walking the foot is placed evenly upon the surface, with the pressure first upon the heel, then upon the ball of the foot, and then upon the toes. From the ball of the foot, and the toes the impetus and elasticity of the stride originate.

The great hymns of tho world that have touched the hearts of many thousands have usualiy been the express!ca of a vital individual experience. They have not been written as mere piece3 of literary composition; they have been the crystallizing of personal sorrow, personal faith, or persona! realization. They have been the summing up of years of hope^and struggle, focused in an instant of expression, as the century plant stores up- vitality tor decades to be evidenced at last in a sudden flowering. The circumstances that inspired some of our great devotional hymns must deepen the interest in both the song and the singer and reveal that mighty kinship of human sou^ls, that divine sympathy, that confers deathless fame on a few simple verses, soul-biographies living in song. This greatest of hymns was written in 1775 by Rev. Augustus Toplady, a very learned English divine, who died at the early age of thirty-eight. The hymn has the rare, wondrous spiritual ecstasy he revealed in hia daily life. In his last illness he said: "I cannot tell the comforts that I feel in my soul; they are past expression. It will not be long before God takes me; for no mortal man tan live after the glorie3 which God has manifested to my soul."

In October, 1S64, Allatoona Pass, a defile in the Mountains of Georgia, was guarded by General Corse with 1,500 men. It was a strong strategic point and, moreover, a million and a half of rations were stored there. Fresich, the southern general, with-6,000 men, attacked the garrison and drove the defenders into a small fort on the crest of the hill. The battle was fierce; the northern soldiers fell in such numbers that further fighting seemed folly. But one of Corse's officers ciught sight of a white signal flag fluttering in the breeze on tho top of Kenesaw Mountain, across the valley,' fifteen miles away. The signal was answered, and *hen came the inspiring message from mountain to mountain: "Hold the fort; I am coming.—W. T. Sherman." Cheer after cheer went up, and though hopelessly reduced in numbers they did hold the fort for hours until the advance guard of Sherman's army came to their relief. Six years later, P. P. Bliss, the evangelist, heard the story in all its vivid detail from a soldier friend, and then wrote the words and music of this famous hymn.

There were six contestants, one each from Butler, Kalamazoo, Adrian, Coldwater, California and Marshall.

When the offering was received, the two boys charged with the duty of passing the plates did not make the ^lightest effort to circulate them among the cadets, for we never had any moniy. They would walk rapidly down the aisle and then come deliberately up the middle, gathering thence what they could. One Sunday the chaplain announced that he would preach a missionary sermon the next Sunday. It did not have the ordinary effect in emptying the church, for we were obliged to go as usual. During the week it occurred to the bright niind-of- a senior: or_J}_rstj;class man, who is now a prominent New York financier, that it would be well for the cadets to make an offering. So he sent out to the bank on Saturday morning and succeeded in smuggling in over 300 copper cents, which he distributed 1 cent per boy to the Episcopal battalion. "We stationed a strong, long armed man on the outside seat of the first pew iu each aisle. The chaplain made a piteous appeal for pennies even, and when the astonished cadets who passed the plates started on their perfunctory promenade the strong, one armed men aforesaid promptly relieved them of the metal plates, and each one dropped In one copper cent with an ominous crash and then deliberately handed the plate to the next boy, who did the same thing. It rained copper cents for about ten minutes. The chaplain was dreadfully disconcerted, the officers fidgeted and looked aghast. Some of them laughed, and the cadets preserved--adeattty solemnity. The affair was a striking success. A Pigeon an Valet to a Crow. "Tom was the name given to a lordly .young crow," says Florence M. Kingsley in The Ladies' Home Journal. "Beauty was a snow white pigeon of about the crow's age, with whom he was reared. Just iiow it came about we never kuew. but we soon discovered that Beauty regularly acted as maid of all work to Tom. She fetched and carried morsels of food at his imperious 'command, and one of her unvarying duties was the preening of her master's feathers. Tom was very much of a dandy. His coal black plumage always appeared perfectly dressed and shining, but the arduous labor of his toilet was performed for him twice every day by the humble and affectionate pigeon. "Our tine gentleman would come in from a roll in the dust or a dip in the fountain and. seating himself upon a certain railing, utter a short, sharp call Instantly Beauty would descend to his side and begin her task, fluttering anxiously from side to side as she worked, drawing each shining black feather carefully out to its full length In her pink bill, Tom meanwhile dozing luxuriously, ,with closed eyes, after the manner of the complacent patron of a skillful barber. If Beauty unfortunately pulled a feather too hard, a squawk and a sudden peck informed her of her mistake."

"Because I have Just now been emancipated from toil," replied the optimist. "For years my life has been one long struggle t o keep the wolf from the door.

UNAD1LLA FARMER'S CLUB The J u n e meeting of the above club was held at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Marshall on Saturday last and was well attended. I t was called to order by President Glenn and singing by the club. Miss Georgia Westfall then sang "In the heart of Old New England" and Miss Kate Collins gave a very hnmtirou3 recitation which was a rich take-off on patent medici ue advertisements. This was followed by a paper "Practical Culture" by Foster C u a p o i m Practical culture will learn a man to do his best no matter what the price paid for the work. Whatever we have intellectually, morally or otherwis e. We must earn of ourselves. Right i n t e n t will lead to success—never skip a duty because it is hard. The paper was discussed by Messrs. Heatly and Collins, Andrews and others. "Mortgage the Farm" was then suug by Messrs. Pyper, Laverock and Mesdames Stowe and Budd. This was followed by a recitation by Miss Jennie Harris, "The Dyiug Pastor," and an instrumental solb by Mrs. Lulo Marshall. The question box was taken up by \V. B. Collins. Why can we not raise spring wheat in Michi gan? Mr Pyper—sowed two bushels and harvested a peck. Understood that seed had to be secured from the west every year. Mr. Hartsuff did not think the] climate was adpsted to spring wheat. Emory Glenn thought it would grow on new ground, cool and rich. F. L. Andrews sang a solo which was followed by at business session at which time it was decided to hold a picnic some | time in August. The club then | adjourned to meet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Marshall of Lyndon the third Saturday in July. HIGH FARMING. ffhiags a Lire Lad of Blsrii^eaa* Ho Brother to the. Ox, Con Do. One of tne motrt restless creatures in existence is an ambitious farm lad of 18 who has not yet decided what he will do for a living. Jacob Biggie, in Farm Journal, advises sucb lads that it is very often the best way to settle down at home and hew their way to peace and plenty right on the old farm. But Mr. Biggie very sensibly adds a programme of some interesting and profitable things a live boy can do to begin with: JFIrst—He can learn how to bud and graft and always be ready to do sueb7 work for the neighbors: also to supply scions of valuable kinds of fruits. In time many a dollar can be made in this way. Second.—Be can learn all about injurious insects and fungi that assail the farmers' crops and how to apply remedies to their devastation. Get the best sprayer, learn bow to use it and take contracts with the neighbors to protect them at all seasons of the year. There is money in it, and the neighbors will be glad to be relieved of such responsibility. Third.—Take a course in surveying and learn to write simple legal documents and in time find that you are a very important mau in the neighborhood. There will be plenty of business. Fourth.—Learn about landscape gardening and take contracts for laying out lawns. Get up clubs for trees, shrubs, seeds, fertilizers, newspapers and magazines during the wiuter season. *""" Fifth. — Grow rare strawberry and small fruit plants, fruit and shade trees and other thinprs that no one else -has-near by, se^ that the folks aroundwlll know where to come for such things. Sixth. — Get a BabL'ock milk test and be prepared to tell the neighbors the individual standing of their cows at so much a head. There is room in every dairy neighborhood for a person of this kind, and he will have plenty to do. Seventh.—A neighbor's plum trees do not bear, he has yellows among his peach trees, his apple orchard is blighted, dying- from some unknown eause— you can help him out of his troubles, and he can afford to pay you for it. "Harriet" suggests that the proper training of colts ought to have been in Mr. Biggie's list, and so it goes in.

The Philippines touch closely upon the gutta percha belt, yet the tree does not grow there indigenuously, and it is at least very problematical whether it can be cultivated there.

His private musicians are 80 in number and they all play clarionets*which/ were made by a London firm. Curiously enough they are all in one key. The emperor takes great delight in listening to tho SO clariorets being blown simultaneously, but he can not convince his court that "music hath charms." Some curious botanical experiments made at a zoological laboratory at Naples are reported by Hans Winkler. A flowerless aquatic plant," that grows normally with its roots in the sand and leaves in'water, was inverted, specimens being placed with the leaves buried in the sand and the roots in water in strong light. The roots changed to stems and loaves, the burled parts becoming roots. ' ~ "Not if I were as rich as Croesus," recently objected an American who i3 supposed to be worth $4CU,000,OCO. Unhappily for Croesus, "the bubble reputation" may petrify as well as burst. Archaeologists digging among the libraries of Asia discovered the inventory of Croesu3, and found that that fraud of a millionaire was worth only $9,000,000. America swarms with Croesuses who could buy up the typical rich man of tho olden time. A great sensation has been caused in Vienna by an order for the arrest of a member of the Austrian Parliament, named Franz Krempa, who is accused of highway robbery in the district of Tarnow. The prosecution claims that Krempa, at the head of a band of ten peasants, waylaid^a man named Itusinowsky, a horse dealer, robbed him of a "considerable amount of cash, and beat him until he was insensible. Krempa belonged to the Polish People's Party, and is now missing. Mrs Yates Arrested. * The finding of the body of Jaspsr N. Wright in tho woods near St. Louis on the 9th was followed the neNt day by the arrest of Mrs. Chas. Yates. The theory of the prosecution is that Wright was smothered by a carpet found nearby. The defense will try to prove that death V a s caused by heart disease. , At the inquest held at S t Louis on the 1 )th over the body of Mr. Wright, who was found dead north of that city, Mrs Yates testified that she had been in the habit of going out in the woods to pick flowers to put on the graves of her children, and on going1 through a thicket of brush she stepped on the foot of the corpse, glanced at the body, saw it was black in the face, then ran and called her husband and a man by the name of Vanderkirk, w h o was going down the road. They went over to where the body was and she says she did not go a second time to the body. She did not touch the body and had not had any trouble with her husband concern ing^tb is man. Goes St. Joseph One Better. In ovder to compete with St. Joseph ;is a Gretna Green for Chicago couples South Haven has secured the appointment of R, J. Madill, a deputy county clerk, with his headquarters on the steamboat dock at South Haven. This innovation was due to the fact that Paw Paw, the county seat of Van Uuren county, is located 2"» miles inland and couples who wanted to pet married had to go to Paw Paw for licenses. Under the~state system licenses can be obtained within a few minutes after leaving the boat. In that respect South Haven now boasts of an advantage over St. Joseph, as a trip of a half mile to the court house lor a license is required at the latter place before the oeremony can be peri'orrued. >, Wheat* Failure. . The monthly crop report issued by Secretary of State Warner on the lOtu states that fruit and garden truck suffered somewhat from frost during May, the damage usually occurring whore crops were on low ground. The cool, w e t weather was uot favorable for tho setting of fruit, but was favornhln fnr rnrl leaf in peaches. The weather was very favorable for wheat and had a tendency to check the work of the Hessian lly. The weather in April was favorable to the fly, and the opinion of many farmers that great damage was then don© and would benoticeable as soon as we had a few days of dry, warm weather was demonstrated to be correct during the first few days of June. Nearly every correspondent in the southern counties reports damage by tho fly. In somo places wheat is beginning to fall to the ground. The indications now are that the crop will bo no better than last year. Fields that escaped tho lavages of the pest last fall are reported to have been infested this spring, so that failure of the crop will probably be universal. The average condition of wheat in the state is 72. This estimate was made June 1, before the damage had become so noticeable. Had the esti mate been made a week later it would have been lower. On June 1 last year the condition was estimated at 49. The per cent of wheat that will be plowed up because winter killed or otherwise destroyed is 14, and it would be much greater were it not for tho fact that many fields are* seeded to timothy or clover. The damage by Hessian ily is 31 for the state. May weather was unfavorable to coro. May weather w a s not favorable to fruit. Hair Pullinc Jlatch at Orro**o.

Doyle*« Death Accidental. The investigation of the coroner's jury into the death of Rep. Doyle, who died of carbolic acid poisoning at Lansing recently, developed an interesting bit of testimony which has not hereto-* fore been recorded. The verdict of the jury was that death was due to ac?>* dental poisoning by carbolic acid with ro criminal intent on the part of anyone. It was brought out at the inquest that the whisky Doyle partook while at Mnss-M a riders' room, was furnished by the hitter's landlady, Mrs. F. H. Pi par, who swore that she let Mi<s Manders have the whisky at a time when, the latter was ailing. During the investigation it was learned that Miss Minders had won the a flections of at least three members of the legislature, which would indicate that statesmen had been her long suit.

REVENUES WILL BESUFFICIEMT For the Iiland'a Maintenance Without th* Caatom* Untie* on Trade Between the li. 8. anil Porto Kloo Sayi Treaaora? Hollander-Alien Yet Undecided. Porto Ulcau Free Trade. Siucc Gov. Allen returned t o Porto Rico.he has given the free trade' problem cymes', consideration. Treasurer Hollander has presented him with a report showing in detail the workings oi his new revenue act. He shows that when the law shall have gone into full force July 1 the island revenues will be sufficient for the island's maintenance without tho customs duties on trade between Porto Rico and the U. S. The governor shows some hesitancy in acting as he is undecided when i t will be proper to call the legislature in extraordinary session for t h e purpose of declaring that the island has in operation adequate system for collecting revenues, as it has the power to do under the Foraker organic act. Then, to make free trade a reality, for the act to remain, will be for the President to proclaim. Were it known now that free trade would be declared on a given date, the island sugar still unshipped would be cornered by speculators to the detriment of the planters. This Gov. Allen wishes to avoid. It is safe to say that the legislature will be called to meet in extra sassion as soon after July 1 as practicable. Porto R.cans have been clamoring for free trade since the beginning, and nothing, unless i t bo American citizenship, would please them more. Pl:jm for Federal Milltla. A.number of conferences have taken pl;»ce in Washington, between Assistant Secretary of War C.irey Sanger and officers of the state militia organizations of the east. Later on officers, of the middle and western states are to be invited to the capital to talk over a plan, which will be put into execution next fall for the bringing of the state volunteer organisations into closer touch with the federal government. The details of the plan have not been worked out, but its general features can be told in a few words. In return for larger appropriations from the federal treasury, the state military organizations are to bind themselves to respond to a call of the President for duty, anywhere in the American domain for a period of from 30 to 90 days. They would become what might be called "federal militia," and instead of being mere state organizations sworn for duty within the boundaries of the state, and subject only to the command of the governor thereof, they would be subject primarily to the command of the President, and would be bound to go where sent.

Each village is endeavoring to establish rural telephone lines, at the expense of the farmers, of course, who derive their benefit from the line by being able to get market reports every morning without going to town, and by getting the news of their small world as soon as the village people do.

Along the path at noon came a ttunted man, a barrel-shaped miner, ^nar Bwufl nts tracK wrto a- cut-oxx shovel used as a cane. "Paper for Henley," he pufflngly remarked as he opened the door of the shed above the shaft "Paper 'dressed to 'Franklin Henley,"" and tossing It in by the side of the man who was eating his lunch on a box, he plodded ahead to return to the trail. "Thank you, Billy," called the other; "much obliged." He finished a bone, gave his fingers „ a wipe on the ragged trousers and slit off the wrapper of the "down-east" paper. Sitting in the door, he read the news of the far-away home, eagerly absorbing every line. Of,a sudden he paused; a gleam of something wild came flashing In bis eyes and the muscles of hta hands and arms abruptly stiffened. "Married, by the Rev. Richard Watson, Feb. 20. Miss Agnes Coles to Frederick Law," was all that he read. The type swung a dizzy waltz, with the notice for their center—a thousand animated demon spots they were, dancing at his anguish. He hurled the sheet, in a crunched - up ball, along in the brush; he grasped Your father, he say so. He say you go a pick and went where the paper lay —all crisply swelling to open again— and dug and gashed it to dirt-printed shreds. . "So that's the reason she hasn't been writing!" he fiercely hissed. "That's the game he's worked on the quiet shift! Undermined me!—tapped the vein!—robbed the pocket! Damn his cowardly heart!—damn the mine! — damn everything!" His voice was choked,; he reeled to the . shed, he sank—half flung—to the earthen floor, to lie where the door, like a flabby jaw, was vainly trying to close against his body. His fingers gouged in the sand like hooks; his face was pressed to the chill, hard cheek,of the soil. The wind swept through, the hole of a window its vent, beating the door, in weak, squeaking blows against his back. Th« day grew oldr~a~drizzling rain descended; darkness obscured him as he lay, half within, half without. The night came down and found him motionless. The creak; creak, creak of the door wa3 mingled at midnight with the distant howling of a lone coyote. In the morning, when the Indian girl was come to the cabin, a wildeyed man, mumbling and groping, haggard, unkempt, staggered out of the sage brush Jto fall over on the floor of the kitchen. There on the boards she fashioned the couch whereon he tossed and. roiled, fought and mined for fourteen nights and day's. Feebly he opened his eyes at length. It was 8usie above him, laving his forehead; Susie preparing the food at the stove; Susie who sang him the lullaby of rest in Washoe music, soft and persuasive. Wistfully his eyes remained on her round young face. He lay there helpless, feeling like a man of thewless cot- -tom—Day by day she coaxed his pulse to ita strong, quick thump of action. Night by night his energy crept In through his system again. Yet what was the use. There came an hour when he tottered to his feet, got the gush of spring from the visiting breeze, and at length returned to the mine—to dig in the adamant, to work off the shadows of hatred and vengeance. He dug out a pocket of gold, nearly pure, and laughed in scorn at its glittering spread on the salver of dross and porphyry. It lay where it fell- -a pyramid of riches; and he striking sparks from his steel and the rock in the opposite end of the tunnel. Susie remained—his shy little dot— adoring the air that haloed him about, thrilling unceasingly to hear lim speak—lived in her womanly scheme of an earthly heaven. The blossoms now presented their cheeks and lips in manifold petals,for the sun's caress; the birds, widethroatt by gushing melodies, expressed throughout the day the joys 0. twining a nest in the branches. The Indian girl outspread her very fingers, to feel the current of love and life that sweetened the air. * At times, as the spring bud bourgeoned into summer, the glTl and Henley roamed on the hills hand-in-hand, seeking the grass blades that smoothed the roots of the sage brush, hunting out the flowers, mocking the mellow lark—who sang of endless summer. Now and again the man was fired by hot desire to honeycomb the mighty hills with drifts and shafts and tunnels. Yet, how sweet to wander "home" in the cool of the evening, stepping to the cheerful notes of crickets by the trail, to meet the day newborn again In the beaming face of Susie! CHAPTER II. Chloride Hill, the mining camp, was nothing to Henley, nothing to Susie. But out of Its streets there came one day a tall, stalwart Indian, who stood aloft in the kitchen door and gazed in pleasure on the Indian girl. "Mingo!" she cried in alarm. "Yes, Mingo," he replied slowly and clearly, grinning like a wolf. "Mingo, big hunter." She had backed away and stood there trembling. "What do you want?" she finally gasped, in the musical speech of the Washoes. "Why do you come?" "Mingo, the hunter, comes for you," said he. "Mingo wants his mahala, his wife." "What do you mean?" she cried aghast. "Mingo's mahala is afraid like the chipmunk," he joyously announced. "Mingo will make her like the pool of the water. Mingo will take his wife; he has given her father his rifle and pony. She will go to the lodge of Mingo." "Mingo is locoed" (crazed), she answered. Here is my lord. I am his mahala. This is Susie's wikiup." "No," said he, growing dark with frowning, "you my wife—my squaw. with Mingo, go to Mingo's wigwam." "But I can't go tp your wigwam. I don't love you—don't ^you sabbee? 1 don't love you." "Mingo, he loves you. That Is plenty. I tell you come." "Oh, you sneaking coyote! If my husband were here you would run like the coward. You would never come to the white man's wikiup." "He is not your husband, mahala. Do you say to Mingo, the white chief here is your hu3band?" She faltered, staggered and groped .1 little backward. "You say it not-," he quickly continued. "It is lying. No, the mahala is not the wife at his side. She has broken the Indians' law; she has broken the law of the white nan. Mahala you belong to Mingo. 5 tell you come.' He moved toward he.-? she recoile.l in dread. Her searching hand cam: down on the-table. fell on the handle of a knife, and she ^grasped it suddenly. "Stand far away," she cried, displaying the blade, "you sneaking coyote: You come when women are alone—you the great hunter! Keep away! Go Let in the light! Take your bad coyote face to the sage brush, you coward!" The savage blood of her nature .vivaflame. The Washoe flinched not at all,, neither did he come. He was cun ning, more than brave. The dull, banked fires were aglow in his eyes his body was bent in a menacing atti tude, his head thrown malignantly for ward. Muttering threats of vengeance he glided backward, and she slammed and bolted the door. Then down or the floor she sank, to lie there brfcath ing like a wounded animal. On the hill, in the sunshine, Henley was gazing a?t the deep blue sky, thashowed in a patch through a window in the shed above the mine. Alon the path, down below, a,t his back, tht squat, little barrel-shaped miner VJL bored wheezingly upward. "Letter for Henley," he called at th door, and threw in the missive and trudged along the hill. Not an answering sound did Henley make. "A letter," he mused, not start ing at all from hii resting position "Comes r. trifle late. I reckon. Life preserver to a corpse—so far as th< world beyond is at all concerned." H gazed another hour at the sky, whilthe light moved slowly athwart thearthen floor and lay at length, a bril liant finger, across the face of the up turned envelope. Turning, he saw the white and placi' invitation. His eye3 began dissectinits features. Presently the writing round and straight, made him move b; ,, stages involuntarily toward the light • the world was whirring wildly in spaje —he tottered in his walk. Out he went, clutching his letter—out to the light—out and away up the hill, striding like an engine breasting the breeze, fronting the steep ascent, panting and straining to reach that upper isolation. "Frank, oh, Frank," cried Suslo when he came. "Mlngcv tha Indian—' Be brushed her by. He looked Lt her blankly; bis ears failed to focus the sounds of her voicer he merely comprehended that something was uttered. "No, no," he answered, "no, not now —I'm dizsy—rattled." She stood with eyes wide open and startled—dumbly appealing. "But Mingo," she said, "Mingo, the Indian, he came to-day—and he—threatened— threatened us." "Mingo—Mingo! He's a coward—I'm tired—never mind him, Susie." He stretched forth his hand. She leaped to place it on her neck, and kissed it wildly. He stood there truly, but himself was far away. Pacing and pacing, he wore away the hours in the cabin. All through the night she watched his face With startled eyes, pain, doubt and yearning in her dumb, trusting look. In the morning he bolted to the hill again; and she, like a doe t not anything but one who is master, followed him timidly far behind—followed till he threw himself down in the sage brush. She sank where Ehe was, to wait there in patience. In the grass-broken sand he lay and sat and lay again, thinking rapidly, in "Hers," he whi-'i>ered. His jaw grew square and firmly sethis eyeS grew hard and glinted lik flint. Yet he took up the letter and broke it open sullenly. * * and my illness increased to such an extent that the doctor said l would have to go to the warm Ber mudas. Every one about was quite alarmed—they neglected you. my dearest heart—and for many a week I lay like a shadow on the pillow. * * * I enclose a notice, the funniest thing, that was printed in th* Star. "Married by the Rev. Richard Watson, Feb. 20, Miss Agnes Coles to Frederick Law." Isn't it odd?—the oddest thing! Of course it ought to be Kolles; but such a laugh they have had on me, and on Agnes too. But blest her heart, she doesn't mind; she's got her Fred at last, and they are very happy—>—" His tenses were swimming crasily, coherently the same things over and over. Under it all ran a current of echoes: "Saved my life—she saved my life—she saved my life." At length his wandering attention was caught by a motley procession moving slowly along in the dustwreathed road below. There were half a dozen Washoe Indians, more perhaps, approaching the town—men and womer- They had two horses—jaded, hopeless creatures—that three old men were ridi»s. Near them, walking barefooted, heavily laden, were three or four squaws, with time-furrowed visages. The loads were contained in sacks and in conical baskets, heaped on the should&rs and supported by heavy bands, which went across the foreheads of these camel-females. Forward the burdened ones bent, looking, as if in submission and patience, on the ground, leaning on sticks which they used with either hand. It was only a party returning from the nountains with the gathered supply of bitter acorns and berries from the red uaiizanita. For fifty miles they h?d traveled thus. Painfully the wretched caravan crawled around the hill and disappeared. Henley watched them, strangely intent. "Saved my life," he muttered iloud. "Indian—same as those. Sav^d me. Yes, she'll wrink'e—be old. Why Jid I have to have the fever! Saved my life. Wrinkled, fearfufold squaws." Susie saw the squalid show. "Oh," :he cried in anguish to herself. "Oh, the women—oh, the Washoe women!^ -Wercrtfaey young loirg agoTl^reThey part of the Summer? Did they hear he larks and crickets? Did they love?" She threw herself forward •vhere she sat till her face was buried n her curving arm. "Oh, love!" she jricd; "there is nothing in the world or mo but love!" The thoughts of Henley finally ?rysalized in form and sequence. He knew 1e would leave her, knew he would :ertalnly desert all things Western md go to the far-away East. How to lo it gently, what to provide for Iior omfort, what he should say, how ipply a balm with the caustic—these* vere matters to be planned and planned. * Early the following morning he wen; :o his mine to gather the gold wher.2 it ay beneath the pocket. There, alone, .e labored hour after hour. The mine vas s.*nply a hole in the ground, 50 :set in depth, with branching tunuels !own below; and over the mouth a vindlas3 stood, with a rope about :t. upporting a bucket that rested on the :ottom. Built againfJt one of the per )endicular walls was a wooden ladder or ingress to and egress from the ower .1 eye Is. In the afternoon, from the rocks,on he hill, a crouching form cam? tealthily down through the scrubby vrush. It was Mingo, the Washoe Inian. Noiselessly he crept to the shed —after scanning the prospect far and lear for any living thing—there to lie full length on a plank at the .edge of ihe shaft. His practiced ear was quick 0 ca.tch the dull sound of blows that issued from the mine. Long he lay without moving a muscle. He could wait au hour; he cou'd wait a day. (To be continued.)

The hay on the race track will be sold at auction to the highist bidder next Saturday at 6 o'clock in the atternoon J u n e 22. W. H. HARRIS, Sec H. Swartbont and E.Campbell are now having cement walk in front of i wheat set. the seeds from weeds of various kinds, while No. 2 screenings is made up mostly of cracked, broken and shrunken wheat. The roughage used in the experiment was the same in all of the sets—a good quality of alfalfa hay. 0 The sets on both grades of screenings made better gains than that on_iJpod "wheat and one of them better and the other almost as good as the frozen their stores. If it could be put in front of the Clark store and the lank it would make a nice addition to the looks of the buildings. The next good move for the council to make would be to remove'all hitching posts in front of tbe stores and put them on Taking into account both the rate and the cost of the gains, the results of this experiment indicate that it is more profitable to feed screenings than either good or frosted wheat. The frozen wheat used in this experiment was of medium grade, neither the highest nor the lowest, and it gave better returns in rate of gain than the opposite side ot tbe street, next to • wheat of good milling quality. This result ngrees with that obtainable at the Canadian experiment station, where it is often found necessary to dispose of large quantities of frozen wheat. From the standpoint of composition taken as a whole, the better grade of frozen wheat ranks little inferior for stock feeding to that fully ripened, The composition of both kinds of screenings shows a high feeding value, though the large percentage of crude fiber indicates that they are less digestible than any of the wheats. the park.

Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett once told a good story about his going to Irefand for the first time. "As soon as I landed in Ireland I attempted to look for traces of some of my ancestors, who" came from the extreme north of Ireland. Meeting an intelligent looking Irishman, i Informed him of u mission, saying that my ancestors emigrated from about fbat spot 10() years ago, and I was there trying to look them up. He answered: "Ye say your ancestors emigrated from our town about 100 years ago? Thin why are ye looking for them here?"—London Tit-Bits. account of the numeroTis seeds the first screenings contain, they will give better results fed to sheep than to cattle and pigs. In Manitoba and other portions of Canada, where there are frequently large quantities of frozen wheat, it has been tested, ground and soaked for 12 hours before use. One hundred pounds of frozen wheat were found equal to 7f>l pounds of skimmilk in increasing the live weight of pigs. The pork was considered excellent, much superior to that of hogs fed on peas alone. The quality of beef from steers fed on frozen wheat was pronounced to be particularly excellent by the butchers and by the members of eight different households who examined it critically wheo served as roast beef. Tbe various feeding trials indicate frozen wheat to be practically equal to a mixture of wheat, oats and barley for hog feeding and to stand very high as a concentrated food for fattening cattle. A T a s k . To be honest, to be kind, to earn a little and to spend less, to make, upon the whole, a family happier by his presence, to renounce where that shall be necessary and not to be Imbluered, to keep a few friends, but these without capitulation; above all, on tbe same grim conditions to keep friends with himself—here is a task for all that a man has of fortitude and delicacy.— Robert Louis 8tevensou. WHEN TO IRRIGATE. E v e r y I r r i g a t o r S h o u l d F e e l A r o f t s d a n d F i n d Out F o r H i m s e l f . The question when to irrigate is so closely related to the water supply and its consumption that it merits careful consideration. The time to Irrigate depends largely on the crop, the weather conditions and the soil. Over I large part of Wyoming, where meadows are Irrigated for the production of hay, it is the common practice to turn the water on the land just as early in the spring as it can be run through the ditches. Ordinarily the water is placed on the meadows about the middle of April and runs continuously until about the middle at July, being turned off only long enough before mowing to allow the laud to dry out so the water will not Interfere with the work of haymaking. This time varies in different places from one day to two weeks before mowing begins. One farmer has stated that he turns the wnter off his meadows the day before he begins to cut the grass and depends upon the land drying rapidly enough so the moisture will not interfere with curing the hay, and another -explained that he had obtained a mowing machine which would cut risht along under sis Inches of water. Various reasons, are given for turning the water on the meadows as early as possible. A ranchman who raises excellent crops of hay on the Laramie plains states that the water draws the frost out of the soil, softening the land so the grass can make an early start and produce larger growth than where naturally held back by the cold weather. Another ranchman near Laramie says: "Where the soil is covered with alkali, and practically all the land here is alkali land, the white incrustations of salts interfere with the growth of grass and keep the land cold by reflecting the sun's rays. If the water can be run over the land enough te wash off the alkali or dissolve it and carry it Into the soil, the grass thickens up and makes a good crop." Whatever the reason, it is evident that the ranchmen of Wyoming, as a rule, believe In irrigating native hay land as early and as long as possible, and all use the most water when the largest amounts can be obtained from our streams, which Is during* May and June. The time to Irrigate cultivated crops cannot be definitely stated. Absolutely no working rule has been discovered. Up to the present time farmeis have generally applied water through judgment born of long experience rather than through an intelligent conception of the needs of the plant. Often the one who irrigates cannot explain clearly how he knows his cr^p is in need of water. To the uninitiated t h e ei»op may- be api»vrently thriving and the need of water seemingly remote when the farmer turns on a head of water and does not rest day or night till all his land has been watered. Evidence of his correct judgment is forthcoming in the large yields which fill his granaries and root cellars. Some say that plants do not need irrigating until they show signs of wilting, but for most plants this would be waiting too long. The crop would never fully recover its strength and vigor. This rule may be applied to corn, however, which is ordinarily said not to be suffering so long as the wilted leaves straighten out at night Some farmers will "Inform you that they discover when water is needed by the color of the plant, but this is not an altogether safe guide, for color is influenced by so many other conditions that it cannot be relied upon as an index to the need of water. More intelligent fanners will probably explain that they have examined their soil and know from experience that when it reaches a certain condition of dryness their crops will soon suffer unless water is supplied. Dr. Hllgard of the California experiment station states that this questioning of the soil is the only accurate way to tell when irrigating should be done.—B. C. Bufferm. D e s t r o y i n g OrsUMk*p«ters. By all odds the best method for destroying grasshoppers after they become half grown Is the use of the "hopper dozer," or kerosene pan, which is shown herewith. This is made of stovepipe iron by turning up the sides ami ends about four-inches so as to make a long, Hat pan about four inches Ui depth. This is then mounted on runners varying in height according to" requirements. On the frame back of the pan is stretched a piece of cloth to prevent the insects from jumping over the pan. Wlun ready to begin work, the pan is partially filled with A HOPPER DOZER. water, and some coal oil Is added. If the ground is level, no crosspieces are necessary, but,if the pan is to be used on sloping ground it should be made as indicated In the illustration to prevent the oil and wnter from running to one end. The height of the runners will necessarily vary from two to eight or ten inches, according to the crop to be protected and the age of the insects to be captured. The machine may be of any length desired up lo 10 or 18 feet. If small. It can be ilrawn by hand, but when larger a horse or two is desirable. When full, the insects can be removed, a little more oil added and the machine started afresh. l a this way a number of bushels of hoppers can be captured and destroyed in a single day. The cost of running this machine is trifling and the remedy very effectual.—Nebraska Fanner. The Riches of Irrigation Water. The experience of centuries in various countries shows that irrigation water Is often superior to rainwater iu that it carries greater quantities of plant food, Pond and stream waters in humid regions are often rich In nitrates, which are the most costly and stimulating fertilizers. The surface waters of the arid regions are also notably rich in potash and other valuable Ingredients. No doubt in many instances Irrigation water, except that which comes from wells, Is worth in manurial content as much as It costs to secure H, leaving Its more obvious benefits a net gain to the irrigators. « * * *r' WMmxn.mnrv. «-*-«I,>>M •» wr^jmiHWiinw-c "•**> rtwrmnm-: i ^ « i i d L ^ _ IVh^'^'rw.^^t'flaWrjBrw »"^.5'Uw»1«w>W.«v'-, r,i<wj^,r, '»?,*<\*W,'«MWnBt W ( 'mi** Note Extra information that can be shown with the item.
