Received Their Diplomas Last Wednesday Evening. The exercises last Wednesday evening which gave diplomas to three more graduates oi the P. H. 8., were in every way op to the high mark and every one present enjoyed the entertainment. A little change was made in the usual order of tbings and an address given by Prof. Barbour of tbe State Normal of Ypsilanti which was an excellent addition to to tbe exercises. Prot. Barbour spoke tor only about 40 minutes but tbe audience, who had been sitting there for nearly two hours, would willing have listened to bimM long again. Should he ever visit this village in tbe future we bespeak for him a crowded bouse. The members ot tbe class did their work finely aud tbe patrons of tbe school bave every reason to be proud ef the new graduates. -All entered the school in '98, all coming in from the country. Though at times it seemed as if they mast give up, they perserved and to day have their reward. Music was furnished by Messrs. H. Isham, F. Bowers and Miss Kate Ruen which was highly appreciated. Prot. Dnrfee in his presenation of Diplomas, made several excellent points which should be studied by the eitizens of Pinckney especially those who have children and young people in the school. Too many d rop out before finishing the work while those from tbe farm stick through and bear the honors. His remarks to tbe graduates were also very appropriate and they will do well to heed his advice. Altogether, while tbe crowd was not as large as heretofore, tbe entertainment was just as good, evervone present enjoyed it. Edward A. Bowman, bEPARTMENT LOCAL NEWS. I MICHIGAN STORE HOWELL.

Mich., June 23 1901 at the age of 72 years 10 months and 3 days. He came with bis parents to Michigan when eight years old, settling near Ann Arbor, where the family re* mained two vears. At the end of m that time they removed to Unadilla taking up the present homestead from the territorial government in 1837. Here the deceased lived and grew to manhood an eye-witness to the develment of his adopted home. He saw the territory become a state. Towns sprang up on every side and railroads stretched t eir glistening iengtb through tbe forest and the settlers clearing w^tle he steadily followed his chosen calling at the Unadilla homestead. He married Jane Carr in 1850, and in 1851 they suffeied the loss of an infant daughter. • During the trying times of the Civil War he struggled manfully to provide for his family and keep tbe home together. But even tbe most obstinate obstacles will yield to persistent effort and the deceased was never found lacking in it. He was a man of strongly marked characters tics; of unflinching determination,and never knew 6uch a word as fail. His long residence in the township gave hHn an extensive acquaintance and bis sterling character secured the lasting friendship of those who knew him, He leaves a wife and six living cbildren.—Four daughters, Sarah R., who married Albert Wilson; Carlia A. wile of Milton Wasson; Mary E. now Mrs. Arthur Montague; Lillian J. wife of Frank Montague;—two sons Chas.

An Object Lesson. list of Graduates this vear be an object lesson to the The three graduates Notice! To Parmers of the 20th Century. Empire Drill agency for 1901 has been secured by u& and we wish to call your attention to a few of the new features of this Drill, as well as sowing all kinds of grain it will plant Sugar Beets four rows 21 inches apart, will plant corn two rows 2>% feet apart, Beans three rows 28 inches apart, or if desired the rows may be made closer together or farther apart by simply closing a shut-off slide on inside of box. Come and examine the Drill and you will be convinced that it is the best Drill on earth. Respectfully Yours, TEEPLE i CIOWELL were all out of the district brought in by tbe school catalogues issued several years ago. This tuition alone more than paid tor tbe entire lot of catalogues so it was a good investment. The next class, will be composed of rive members at least and only one of them belongs to the district, alt brought in by tbe advertising tbe school has received. This is tbe only school arouud that ,does not issu* a catalogue every year besides doing considerable other aivertising. Would it not be a good plan to work for more foreiga scholars as well as try and interest more home pupils? There were during the last year sixteen foreign pupils whose toition amounted to about $15 each and it did not cost the district a dollar more tban it would without them so there was the gain. A goodly number of catalogues well circulated—not boarded up—will not only increase the attendance upon the school but tend to reduce the school tax. Two or tbree loads of ladies went to Howell Satarday last for a ride and took dinner at the hotel. They bad a fine time. A good many of onr patrons will receive their next issue of the DISPATCH by RFD as the carriers start Monday nexfc. Alfred Dnrfee and Son of Colo., Will Dnrfee and Miss Blanche Hook of Fowlerville were guests of Stephen Durtee and family the past week. Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Morgan and Sirs. N. S. Burgess will give an ice cream social at their home on Friday evening June 28. A cordial invitation is extended. Mrs. Bertha Mann returned home from Detroit Tuesday, having received a certificate from tbe school of pharmacy, also one from the state. Bertha has put in some hard weeks of work and after a years practice under a registered phamacist, which is required of all who wish to follow this branch of work, will give her a diploma as registered pharmacist. Gradnation Notes. Prof. Barbour is teacher of English in the State Normal. Certainly he would seem to be "tbe right man in the right place." He is a thoroughly cultured, refined man and knows bow to tell what be knows in an interastmg manner.

"1*6 sua, went down, the" daylight "waxred. Ezhaastlbn told the man ockpr to cease and go to his cabin. Havtag loaded the bucket he labored stow- 1/ tip lb* vertical cUmb on the ladder. The Indian glided nearer to the edge. He oouW hoar every step on the rungs of the ladder, could ever detect the «o«ad of the roughened hands grasping the wood. Leaning far over, he ««aw the candle, fastened on the miner's Jimt Nearer, nearer It slowly came, Alekerlng, throwing goblin shadows •againet the somber walls, contending Xalnily against the encompassing The shaft was now alive with hollow cttaoes of the labors of the man. On came the light. It was 10 feet iway— It was five feet—two. The head and the light emerged above the yawning chasm. With a movement swift, strong, analce-like, Mingo thrust out his powerful hand. It came across the min- «r*s eyes and nose; then the head was wrenched quickly, violently backward. The hands, surprised, tried to cling, bat failed. They loosened, waved wlldlr.. clutched at the air, and then,..with the body and head, were overtoppled. Headlong, twisting, turning, the man was hurled to the swallowing abyss. The tfght on the hat gave forth the soand of a flame in the wind and was Cone—plucked off by the rushing darkness* A shriek issued forth from the mouth of the tomb. "Susie! little Susie!" was the cry. Sounds of a striking—a bounding back and forth, dully, against the jagged sides—a crash at the bottom —and silence deeper than stillness ensued. The door swung open and Mingo, the Washoe, glided forth and away in the twilight, into the sage brush; and a rabbft would have made a greater rustle. The stillness of midnight, a seeming attribute of masses of shadows that crouched from the waning moon, behind the rocks, the brush and every salient thing, was timidly broken. The ..creak in the hinges of the mine cabin •*door sounded weirdly clear—a wail, aa omen, thought the Indian girl. An • awesome darkness filled the silent shed. Susie, on her knees, went creeptog, feeling with her hands for the • tflge ©f the shaft There she clutched the windlass post, and leaned her breast against it. "Frank," she cooed, in a low, sweet tone that wavered with the effort made to keep it cheerful, "Frank, my sunsfaiae— Frank." No sound save that a piece of rock, somewhere down along the piekscarred walls of the shaft, loosened and fell, down and down, striking the sides with diminishing sounds, till a ghostly Across the floor of the cabin at last she fell with the burden. The limplsh arms went dangling at random about her neck la a ghastly embrace that thrilled her keenly with joy. Exhausted she lay, fondling the hands and face, trying to rub him back to life, till the chili of long-dead clay was come, and the face seemed carved in stone. ^ Through the night, bending above him. she poured out a fountain of her love and grief alternately with all the softness of her Indian cooings and cadence of her mellowed English syllables. Grey morning found her wooing still the smile on the dead man's lips, striving, yearning to warm the cold, white features. The small, broad miner, passing the cabin when noon was high, delayed for a second. "Letter for Henley," he stolidly announced; but tossing it in, beheld the girl, beheld the miner, and fled the hill to spread the news of the sight he had seen, and to fetch away the coroner. CHAPTER III. In the sage brush wigwam the summer waned to autumn with dreary stillness. Grey already, -the strete brush, relieved alone by the willow fringe of the wandering creek, was cheerless, dreary and oppressive to the girl. She sat alone, while the chilling wind was wantonly ripping the leaves from the branches, her head drooped low in hopeless despair. _ A shadow, thrown by the setting sun, betrayed a presence. Dumbly she raised her eyes to look. "Ugh," said a tall, grunting Washoe buck. She turned away her head again. "Mahala, do you wait for Mlugo?" said the man. "Johnny Shag is bigger chief. 'Mingo shall never come." She looked in silence on the ashes of the wood burned the day before. "Mahala," he added, "one, two moons Jonny Shag come to take you the trail to my wigwam. Why not any lalk? Too long, you sabbec? Mahala waits for Mingo. Better look out Mahaia; Jonny Shaj is warrior. To-diy you better talk." stream nursing her baby, cndUng Jt 1 closely, warming it ever in her throbbing breast As the. twilight approached, the air was the balm of the Indian summer. x Rising, she placed her baby In the rustling grass; deftly she bent the subtle willows down—masses of willow —and throwing the grass, leaves and twigs. jQ«er all* made t r o o l to_c&tch the frost Into this with her child she crept, nestling it gently as before. Night came down. Quite late the babe awoke and feebly cried. She smothered it and sang, in her sadsweet voice, a lullaby: I hear the crickets sing in the long grasses; Many camp-fires of the braves shine in the sky— They shine again in the little river; The wind is small and gentle when it plays in your hair. Lie in my heart as the pebbles lie in the little river; As the crickets lie in the long grasses; Shine in my heart as the camp-fires shine in the sky; Sleep, little Fawn, till the sun comes over the mountain. The little Fawn slept, but never to wake till a greater sun should top the mountains of darkness, misery and despair. t Singing and cooing, Susie weaved in the darkness—unconscious of the flight —with the birds, toward the summer —of the new little soul. At-midnight, bending forward to kiss the downy eek, she was startled at'Its coldness. Hurriedly feeling the wee soft hands, the pulseless feet, the tiny body, she sounded the utmost depths of agony. She rushed from the shelter, the cold little body in her arms. By the light of the stars, the "fires of the braves," she saw the touch of the grim visitor. Then on the air of night arose a painsong out of a heart rudely brokea. She sank unconscious to the earth. Away off hillward a gaunt coyote howled an answer back, dismal, long, forlorn. The sun gilded the path to the heavens, and rose in purple mists of majesty; the beam-fingers played in the night-dark hair of the mother, and touched with gold the hair of the child. Dreaming the present far out of vision, dreaming the past into present again, the wan mother smiled and nodded in her sleep. Awakening, she shivered; a sigh that had rested was also aroused. Yet peace and patience W f ' W 5 • * • • echo announced Its bottom rest. Then > deeper silence. ^ e a r one, are you there?" she called again; but the sound of her voice, rebounding on herself, made her fright- •vened and awed. d^ressing her heart against the post "again, to still its audible thumping, she eat a moment in dread. Suddenly, then, strengthened by the thought that he might be there, wounded, perhaps, and needing her sadly, down in the jgloom of the yawning mine, she /groped her way to the ladder. Moau- :ing of instinct, there in the darkness, •she slowly descended, down and down . in the mocking, echoing tomb. In the utter blackness her hands •discovered his faca, and Bhe cried aloud, till the shaft was full of an- . guish. -A boneless mass, inert and fitted to the jagged surface of the loaded buck- - et of ore, into which he had fallen, she found. His head hung limply athwart the bucftefs edge; the eyes, which her fingers sought, were closed. ' Beside him, kneeling, she sank, to -moan and croon, combing the daru, curling hair with her fingers, kissing Jthe face—and seeing nothing. She landed that a beat, slight and feebly lived la his breast Calling his name, ^whe coaxed and wooed, and then, despairing, stood up and prayed for •help. "God, if the Indians, too, have souls," v-ahe aaid, rtgive my aching soul to him —let him live! Give me something, »Great Eternal Spirit—something of hoper* With an esoteric summoning of a < marvelous strength, she lifted the • drooping form; the arms and head fell listlessly across her shoulders. Then i to the ladder! And with all the pow- •-er of arms and limbs, thewed by draperation against the giant tasjf, Bhe started toiling up and up, like one who "One moon, let me think," she wearily answered. "Let me wait ono moon." "One moon, yet. Jonny Shag will wait. Many things come before the moon again." He glided-uway, and again her head sank wearily down. Mingo, the Washoe, stealthily returning to Chloride hill, kept cautious ears and eyes awide, to learn the result of the murder at the mine. Susie, he rightly conjectured, would havo guessed the truth. He avoidod the wikiup, but remained in the town. Patience with many an Indian is a virtue. On a crisp, cool day, while Miiiso talked with a group or bucks on~a corner, Shag, on a pohy and armed with a rifle, rode up behind. Raising his gun, he deliberately shot Mingo through the body, and escaped to the hills. The thoroughly astounded camp officials promptly gave pursuit, but all smoulders up a crushing weight, to ,gaia the air and freedom. Her palms <were burning, her knees shook and rtrambled, her breath came in gasping i long dutches painful to bear; the * ^darkness awam thickly about—she was «ttfliag, smothered, congested wTth~ .MooaVret she forced her way aloft. in vain. Friends and relations of the dead man assisting, the country wa3 scoured, skillfully, cunningly. Canyons, valleys, the shoulders of the mountains, were traversed and searched, but nothing availed. Shag enjoyed e\- ery advantage. Three Indian trailers, mounted, came at length to where the fugitive was lying In ambush. One of these escaped with his life and rode like a demon to tell of the two, lying grisly and stark, struck in the back by the bullets of Shag, their faces now twisted in the sun. A stooping, stricken Washoe, the old Red Wolf, whose boys they were that had died in the sand, departed in silence, alone, on the path of war. The fued was his. In the night he found the man he sought, found him asleep —left him asleep—his knife standing firm, erect, buried to the hilt In the breast of Shag the warrior. The year grew old; its daysr TTRe the hours of waking of an old and passing man, were dim and short, its nights long sleeps, that made it none the stronger. And yet there came a day that was like an echo of what had been before the year began to age. Susie, w^u but wistful of face, went from the hopeless wigwam and hurried away up the moaning creek. She went to a copse of alder trees, entered and was lost to view. An hour later she slowly emerged and in her arms she carried a child, a little boy with fairest hair and the bluest of eyes. She seated* herself in the sunlight and shivered as she ncs ':'••••• Oar- Coentry'^rUxf. -\ The Hoa. Joel R.

The scene changed as by enchantment, and the men who were on the point of attacking my house and menacing the Inhabitants, cheered the flag of this country, and placed sentinels to protect it from outrage.

Mr. McKay had been suffering for years with Diabetes and Rheumatism, which recently threatened to end his days. His limbs were so filled with pain that he could not sleep. He was very bad. Just .then, someone suggested a new remedy—Dodds Kidney Pills—which has been much advertised recently, as a euro for Bright's Disease, Diabetes,. Dropsy, Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble. After Mr. McKay had used a few doses he commenced to improve. His pain all left him, and he is almost as well as ever. He^says Dodd's Kidney Pills are worth much more than they cost. They are certainly getting a great reputation in Missouri, and many very startling cures are being reported. .:A*~4 < " , * • An Iowa mother punishes her little son by making him wear his Sunday clothes, while she rewards her young daughter in the same manner.

And really, there was at least one boy—and on an average two or three—in every house on Meredith's side, except in the Crosspatch Man's house.* Oh, dear me, no, there weren't any boys there! On tiie other side of the street you had to skip the "middlest" house and Miss Quilhot and Miss Eromathea's— oh, yes, and the minister's house, of which Miss Quilhot and Miss Eromathea were old maids, and the minister —oh, no, he wasn't an old maid, but you couldn't expect him to have boys in the house, for how could he ever write his sermons? A Juvenile Sketch for Independence De*y < The Crosspatch Man was sick again, and this time it must be pretty bad, lor all the morning Meredith had been watching the servants spread straw before the house and muffle the big, shiny doorbell. "Poor man!"'mamma; said, pftljhglyT "He is sick so often!" "But he's a Crosspatch Man!" muttered Meredith stiffly. Then he repented and looked as shamefaced as a very little boy with a very round, dimpled face Could look. "I'm so sorry he's ve-ry sick," he said slowly. "1 s'pose it hurts even Crosspatch Men." Mamma did not notice. She was having her little noon "gossip" with papa, and they were still talking about their Invalid neighbor. "It isn't quite so bad as it scams, you know," papa was saying. "He always has the straw laid down and things muffled when he has one of his worse nervous attacks. It doesn't mean all that it does in most cases. He is terribly afflicted ,by noise at almost any time.' "Noise! I should think so!" That was from Meredith, who pricked up his ears at the word. Didn't he know how the Crosspatch Man felt 'bout a noise? Didn't he belong to the Rudd Street Second? Wasn't ho captain? And oh, my, the times he'd seen the Crosspatch Man a-scowling and afuming when they marched past his window! "But Fourth of July will be a terrible day to him—poor man!" went on mamma's gentle voice. That made Meredith start a little. He had been thinking about Fourth o' July, too. (Did he think of much of anything else nowadays?) He had been going over in his mind all the glorious program of the day. For the Rudd Street Second was going to celebrate in a worthy manner. They were going to oven outdo themselves this year—and- Another London church is to have the novelty of an outdoor pulpit like the one at S t Mary's Whitechapel. The new one is being erected at Christ church, Spitalfields, as a memorial to the late Dr. Billing, a former rector, and for many years bishop of Bedford. Like the open-air pulpit used at Whitechapel, the new one will look out from the church wall upon the open space of the disused churchyard, where an outdoor congregation can gather without any danger from street traffic. hadn't they had the proud honor of being the noisest street in the city for two Fourth o* Julys a-running? Let 'em lust wait till they heard this Fourth o' July! It was three days off. That would give the Crosspatch Man time to have thft a t r a w tftkon u p a n d thfl hall UPSHEER So it was, as I said, an unfortunate street to ha7^ "nerves" on. And the Crosspatch Man had so many! The three days between soon went away, and it was the night—tha very night—before It! There were only a few hours more', for,' of course, you dldnt' have to wait till the sun rose on Fourth of July. Meredith had drilled the Rudd Street Second for the last time and dispersed his men. He was on his way home to supper. Going by the Crosspatch Man's house, he neard voices distinctly issuing from an open window. He couldn't help hearing. It was so quiet in the street. Perhaps it was the "lull before the storm." "The sahib cannot bear :t," a gentle soothing voice was saying, but Meredith recognized the indignation mixed with the pity in i t . "The sahib will be again sick." Then came Meredith's astonishment, for the Crosspatch Man's voice was answering, and it was quite calm and gentle; and it said: "Of course I shall be sick again, Harill've made all my plans to perish. But what can'you expect? The little chaps must have their Fourth o' July. I was a little chap, myself—once. Shut tho window.Hari. There's a suspicion of a draught." Meredith stood still in sheer amazement, and watched the turban-man close the window. He was a little chap himself once, the Crosspatch Man was! And how kind his voice had sounded, too. It made him sorry for the crasspatch Man—sorrier than he haTTevef been before: " "He's a-dreadin' it like sixty. He's 'spectlnl—to perish," Meredith said aloud. "It's goin* to make him sick, of course—that's what he said to the turban-man. An' he was a little chap once, an' his voice was kind an' tired out." —TfieTi—Meredith went—ftome~ Try Grain-OS Try Gr*ln-Ot Ask your Grocer today to show you a package or GRAIN-O, the new food drink that takes U<* place of coffee.

'Then he'll have to cotton up his ears/' mused Meredith, philosophically, watching the big foreign servant that wore A turban go back and forth past the'Crosspatch Man's window. The house Meredith lived in and the Crosspatch Man's house were quite close together, so it was easy to watch things. Unfortunately for an invalid with the terrible affliction called "nerves," Rudd Street waa ^a-regular went-of. - boyaThey were boys everywhere on i t 'Yon- ran against boys when you went east, and boys ran against yon when yon went west Boys sprang up in the- most unexpected place*. The hooaer seemed to he running over ^went—ftome—antr perched himself up on the banister post in the hail, to think. That was where he always tBought things—big things, you know. This was, oh my, such r>. big thing! "I'm cap'n,' mused Meredith, knitting his little fair brows. "I can say, 'Go, an' thou ghost," like the man in the Bible; bu$ they'll be dreadful disjointed, the Rudd Street Seconds will be. Still—well, he sick an* he had a kind spot in his voice, an' he used to be a little chap too, so of course he used to bang things an' make noises. I don't think he sounded much like a Crosspatch Man." In a little while, after a little more tough thinking, Meredith slipped down and out of the door, up the street. He got together the Rudd Street Seconds and made a little speech, as a captain may, to his men. The next day the city and all America celebrated J'ourth o' JulvP and Rudd Street was famous again, but this time for being the very quietest street in all the city! There were just as many boys in it, too, as^ever. The Crosspatch Man's white, nervous face smoothed and calmed as the day wore on, and at last it actually smiled in a gentle way, as if he was thinking about something pleasant. And the captain of the Rudd Street Seconds and his brave men, drilling and popping and banging in a distant street, were happy, too.—-Annie Hamilton Donnell. WINTER Causes bilious head-ache, back-ache and all kinds of body aches. Spring is here and you want to get this bile poisoiv ~©ut—ot-your- systesiv-^asily^ naturally and gently. CASCARETS are just what you want; they never grip or gripe, but will work gently while you sleep. Some people think the, more violent the griping the better the cure. Be careful—take care of your bowels—salts and pill poisons leave them weak, and even less able to keep up regular movements than before. The only safe, gentle cleaner for the bowels are sweet, fragrant CASCARETS. They don't force out the foecal matter with violence, but act as a tonic on the whole 30 feet of bowel wall, strengthen the muscles and restore healthy, natural action—buy them and try them. You will find in an entirely natural way your bowels will be promptly and permanently put in good order for the Spring and Summer work. , .1 ALL DRUGGISTS.

They also \ propose to mark other historic spots, for instance, the home of Gen.

About this tilde of the year overseers of highways warn out the men of thejr respective district, plow up the center of the road, throw in roDts and sod from the sides and call it "working on the road." Sbovelors sit on the fence and talk, and boys a dozen years old drive a team and are credited with a man's day's work. ThiB country has been settled about seventy years, and this sort of a thing has gone on from yeai to year and the roads are but little better than at the beginning and some of them worse. It seems and is impossible to make roads by the present system, A road commissioner that will plow up a road should be asked to immediately resign his office and someone appointed who is up to date and knows his business. The road bed should never be broken up by a plow, but should be gradually raised year by year till it is higher than the ground on either side.

For the marking of tomato ground a Farm, Journal correspondent uses a marker made as follows: The head piece is of pine wood 3 inches thick, 8 feet 7 inches long and 0 inches wide. "The three markers are of oak, 1¼ Inches thick, 7 inches wide and 2½ feet long. They are beveled at the lower end corners to show three inches on the ground in width, plated with oneeighth Inch iron four inches wide and cornered to suit the wood. These three pieces are bolted to the head nt exactly four feet from the center to the center of marker boards.—Aftthe same time bore in the head holes to suit the markers at 3 feet 3½ inches; also put in a stout handle 1½ inches in diameter and 2½ feet long, 15 inches from each end of the head, to control TOMATO MARKER. the side drift. Let the shafts in at the head so as to give marker boards an incline bnck of 15 Inches out of the square of the shafts. The advantages of this marker are that it does not cut the soil to Invite washing. The middle marker takes out all horse foot marks. The outside marker runs in the last row made. The back incline of "the markers makes It run steady. Now we have the field laid off and not a horse foot mark except at the turning. The orange came to Europe from Af« rlca In the eleventh century.

A missionary who had; started a school among the Indians met; with opposition, and the meeting had; been called in support of the rival scheme. There were several speakers who denounced the school in existence. We replied vigorously, showing the efficiency of the school and denouncing in turn the methods adopted by the op-1 position. An Indian chief produced} some specimens of work done at the' school, and several speakers supported the work as it was being done. The; climax was reached when a gentleman rose and said: "I move the whole thing bust!" TJhejchalrman put the motion. "It is moved and seconded that the whole thing bust!" The audience sprang to their feet and, waving hats, yelled "Busted!" and made for the door. Thus ended the first and last opposition in that matter.

When he was on his way to Mexico, when the United States was at. war with that country, he engaged teams to transport the baggage and placed in charge of them a Texan named Carter. The streams were all up, and Carter had much trouble, but whenever he tried to modify the general's requirements he was cut short with the admonition, "All you've got to do is to obey orders." * Says Noah Smithwick in his recollections called "The Evolution of a State:" They camped one night near the Nueees rrrer, which Carter found to be Impassable. He said nothing about it to the general, and the next morning the order was given to move ou. Carter •tarted with the wagon train and halted at the river, which was absolutely Impassable. Harney came blustering up. "Didn't you know that river was up?" he demanded. "Yea, sir," meekly replied the wagon master. "Why didn't you tell me?" "You didn't ask me, sir.

The first morning Wlthee let the dogs but for ,a run while he was getting the breakfast expecting them to be back In a short time. When breakfast was »ver, the dogs had not returned, so, taking his gun, Ux. WLthee started out In the direction they had taken. After traveling about a mile the faint barking of dogs could be heard, and it was then plain why the dogs had not relumed. They, had scented game and were in pursuit The sound of the barking led him far UQ, the side of a mountain, and soon he came in sight of the dogs standing around the upturned roots of a tree. Mr. Wlthee crept up cautiously until within about 15 feet of a cave that was near by, and then a black, shaggy head could be seen just above the roots. Taking good aim, he fired his .44 caliber and awaited results. After several minutes he went up to the cave, and what he saw there gave him a shock from which he has never recovered. Two bears lay dead, and two more were so stunned that a few quick passes with a knife settled them. For the four bears Mr. Wlthee received $20 bounty. $27.50 for their hides and $42 for the bear oil. making $89.50 for one day's hunt—Maine Woods.

There is an odd fe;ttim> in the theology of the small Indian tribe of the Bella,Coola. which Inhabit British Columbia in about latitude o'2. They h> lievo that, there are live v orlds. one above the other, ami the middle one Is our own world, the earth. Above it are two heavens, and under it are two underworlds. In the upper heaven is the supreme deity, who is a woman, end she doesn't meddle much with the affairs in the second world below her. The zenith is the center of the lower heaven, and here Is the house of the gods, in which live the sun and the rest of the deities. Our own earth is believed to be an island swimming in the ocean. The first underworld from the earth is inhabited by ghosts who can return when they wish to heaven, from which place they may be sent down to our earth. If then they misbehave again, they are cast into the lower of the underworlds, and from this bourne no ghostly traveler returns.-' The Bella Coola are. sun worshipers, for Senex, the sun, the master of the house of gods, who also is called "the father" and "the sacred one," Is the only deity to whom the tribe pray. Each family of the Bella Coola has its own traditions and its own form of the current traditions, so that in the mythology of the tribe there are countless contradictions. When any one not a member of a clan tries to tell a tradition which does not belong to his clan, It is like a white man trying to tell another's joke—he is considered asiipproprlatlug the property right which HOPS not belong to him. 5 0 YEAR8* EXPERIENCE TRADE MARKS DCSIQNS COPYRIGHTS A C . .in 1« probably patentable.

Besides the bird is a, great diver, one of the kind that used to "dive at the flash"/ when bunted with the old arm that flashed, when fired. It Is of very little value for table use, being so tough. The only way to manage it at all Is to skin it and parboil it in a big pot wltly plenty of water. The ne- I groes make caps of Walloon skins. 'They are great ducks for diving," says a well known Tred Avon river progger. "They can dive quicker, go down deeper, remain under water longer and come up farther away than uny other duck that frequents our waters. I remember once I succeeded in killing a Walloon, and. being short of game for the table* 1 determined to cook • my bird. 1 got a negro to skin it. giving him the hide for bis trouble. After being cleaned we put it in a great pot full of water and under it kindled a hot fire. After a while I wanted to see how the cooking of my duck progressed and lifted the top off the boiling pot. but there was so much steam escaping I could not see into the pot and struck a match over it.

One cannot safely assume in these days that there is any region in which, such and such a journal is not read. Recently a certain humorist needed a rest and went and stopped in a cottage in a remote village by the sea. His sitting room opened on the kitchen, where his landlady, a woman widely esteemed as a person of great acumen and a maker-of phrases, was wont to receive the neighbors. He listened and put both landlady and neighbors into some auiusiug sketches which were promptly published in a Loudon magazine. A mouth or two went by. Then one afternoon he came back to the cottage to meet and cower before an indignant matron, who told him, among other,things,, that he had one hour in which to pack his traps and quit the village.

Whichever way you took It it was satisfactory. Mr. Hare earned fame playing old men's parts, his character as Mr. Gold- .by in "A Pair of Spectacles" being a good example. Added to this was a horror of having his picture taken. Mr. Gladstone had never seen a picture of the actor, but he knew him well behind the scenes as well as before the footlights. The premier's favorite play was "A Pair of Spectacles," and he always went behind the scenes to chat awhile with the actor.

Hazen S. Pingree, ex-governor of-Miohigan, died in London. England, at 11:33 p. ,m., the 18th of June, from anrtllness brought on by the hardships of travel in South Africa* and shattered health arising from the severe strain of his political life. That he was a remarkable man his career in Detroit and as governor of Michigan gives the most brilliant proof. He was a descendant of fine old Puritan stock and_ first saw the light In the rugged*ttle town of Denmark. Me., in 1840. At the age of 14 he left the rocky farm of his birthplace and went to Saco, Me., where for six years he worked in a cotton mill. From there he went to Hopkinton, Mass., where he became a cutter in a shoe factory. In August, lao2, Imbued with the patriotic ardor which was a characteristic of his ancestry, he enlisted In Co. F, First Massachusetts Heavy Artillery, his term of service expiring he promptly re-enlisted, ana with his regiment, took part in the second battle of Bull Run, the bames of Fredericksburg Road, Harris Farm. Gold Harbor, Spottsylvanla Court House, North Anne and South Anne. He was captured May 25. x«rx~by- asquad or Mosoys men and sent to Andereonvllle, where be was confined for several months. He .was then sent to Salisbury prison, N. C, and to MHIen, Oa., where he was exchanged in November, 1SG4, rejoining his regi- He won his first election* by bringing about a change of 7.000 votes over the returns on the previous Democratic candidate for mayor. Mayor of Detroit.. When he took the office ae mayor of the city he broaght to bear in the ottice of chief executive the same levelheaded business methods that had brought him success in the commercial world. The city's streets were in. a deplorable condition. Contractors had the city by the throat. He immediately began a campaign for better paved streets; urged a rapid transit system of street railways; a municipal lighting plant; a separation of grade crossings, and higher taxation of acreage property. He ignored the professional politician, and let loose an avalanche, of ideas regarding municipal government. In the second month of his term he proposed testing electricity as the motive power for street railways. At the end of six months hewas severely criticised by the Repub* lican party leaders at a Michigan club meeting for his appointments, and there was arrayed against bim many of the leaders of bis own party. He oven pursued his business methods regardless of political favor, to the exbonse of commons on the 17tbf Mr. Brodriek, the war secretary, aa4d there were 40,239 persona in the "concentration camp*" of the Transvaal mmi Orplan evolved.

During the first few months of his oiiice-bolding Pingree showed very little of the corporatlon-fightin.T traits which later became his leading characteristic, biit when the big street railway strike took place, his astute secretary, A. I. McLeod, saw an oppor* tunity for making » political coup. Mayor Pingree refused to ask the governor of the state for troops to quel! disturbances, insisting that the police were sufficiently powerful to keep the peace. The mayor called upon both sides to settle the difficulty by arbitration, and this was done. of the state troops be raised! for the Spaai8h-AmerieaA war, and the rapidity with'which he sent troop* to the front. In this- he waB most energetic. When Gen. Russell A. Alger was berated by the yellow journals of the east as secretary of war, Gov. Pingree was the first to- uphold him and criticise his detractors'. In the fall of 1«08 Mr. Pingree was re-elected governor by a plurality of 00,000. In '90 he secured the passage of a street railway municipal ownership bill by the legislature, and later endeavored to have the city buy the street railways for 117.500,000, and though business sentiment was almost unanimously -against the plan, he carried it once through the common council, and was only stopped untimately by a refusal on the part of Owner Wil son to extend the option on the property. As governor Mr. Pingree secured the passage of the law creating the state tax commission, which has equalized taxation throughout the state to a great degree. He also after his ad valorem taxation law was unconstitutional, secured an amendment to the constitution of the state whereby the present ad valorem bill was made valid. He likewise secured the repeal of all special railroad charters in the state.

Starting with eight employes during ;the first year, the firm, carried forward by Mr. Pingree's native energy and Yankee shrewdness, grew into an institution that employs 800 persons and has an annual output of $1,000,000. He became one of Detroit's foremost business men, and was known as an enterprising manufacturer. He was married in 1872 to Miss Frances A. Gilbert, of Mt. Clemens, and had three children, of whom Hazen S. Tingree, and Miss Hazel Pingree survive. Miss Gertrude Pingree. his eldest daughter, died in 1804, and her demise was one of the saddest blows experienced by Mr. Pingree. Mr. Pingree was a 32d degree Mason, a Shriner nnd a member of Detroit post, G. A. R. He attended the Woodward Avenue- Baptist church. I In 1887 there was a political landslide in municipal politics, the Democratic candidate carrying the city by a large majority, and in the fall of 1880 a large number of Republicans met upon invitation of James F. Joy to consider the nomination for mayor and endeavor to make such a selection as would regain the city to the Republicans. No Republican desired to run. Col. Henry M. Duttleld positively refused to run. Mr. Pingree's name was suggested, but he protested. ••No, no," he said, "I was never in the city hall except to pay my taxes. I will double my subscription for the campaign, but let me out." But a committee was appointed, and finally a reluctant consent was gained from Mr. Pingree to undertake the campaign. That was the beginning of a popular political career on the ex-governor that lis fame broadcast over the world. W a a Rnntly R e - e l e c t e * M a y o r . In 1801, when the time arrived for another mayoralty election. Pingree'* political prestige had not as yet reached the point which later made him so powerful, and there was some fear in the Republican camp that lie would be defeated. However, the Democrats got into a factional fight, ami John Miner and W. G. Thompson were both nominated, with the result that Pingree was re-elected, receiving more votes than both of his opponents. In nls second term Mayor Pingree took hold of many of his most successfill plans for city improvement. He declared for a comprehensive park system, and though his scheme to turn much of the down-town district of the city into a playground was sat upon as being too expensive, his agitation brought'about the estanlishment of a number of Detroit's present beautiful The grooved rails has even a dark look and-that comes from these whom he stood by through it all, thope whom he considered his friends and less culpable than others. The banquet given by him in the state capitol when carloads of viands and wine, and decorations were used, marked the end of his political career. That he wrought well for the interests of the people of his home city and the state in many ways evidences on every hand attest. That he made some mistakes there can be no denial. That he wa.s an honest, fearless and productive politician all admit. He was well fitted for the strenuous political life he led by the Inheritance of good blood and a strong physique, by the very climate of the state in which he was bom, and by his own rugged personality.

At bis request the council engaged two special cars and made a junket trip to Chicago, New York.

Aside from the knowledge to be obtained the trip was a strategic move to gain the good-will of the aldermen toward the city ownership plan.

Justice of N«vr Mexico** Bwyreme Court Flrat Got a Surprise *m4 Aft* erward the Offlee. Late in the year 1900 It was decided by the powers In Washington that Mr. Daniel H. McMillan, ex-state senator of New York and for many years general counsel in the city of Buffalo for the Vunderbllt system of railroads, was to be appointed associate justice of the supreme court of New Mexico. This appointment had been urged not only by those who knew Mr. MeMHlan in the state of New York, but by lawyers of Santa Fe and of other cities in New Mexico who knew of him and desired to see him obtain the place. » Toward the close of 1900, with Governor Otero of the territory. Mr. Mc- Millan was on a Lake Shore train speeding toward Washington. When the train stopped at Painesville, 0., newsboys boarded it, and one of them called out: "All about the new supreme court Judge of New Mexico. t Silas Alexander appointed." The governor of the territory and Mr. McMillan looked at each other, and they bought a paper, and in> that paper they read in glaring headlines that Silas Alexander of Santa Fe had received the appointment to the vacant judgeship. Mr. McMillan the morning of his arrival in the capital went at once to the office of the secretary of war. "How did it happen I was not appointed?" he asked. "Why," said Mr. Root "you are appointed!" "Why," said Mr. McMillan, *'you are mistaken." And he drew from his pocket the Cleveland newspaper of the day before. Secretary Root turned all colors. "This is a mistake," he said; "an absurd, strange mistake, for I have it from the president's own lips, corroborated by Mr7 Griggs, attorney general, that your name was sent yesterday to the senate for action and that j the recommendation was duly signed i by President McKiniey." i Then the men went to the state, war j and navy building and found Attorney General Griggs. "But you have been given the apa m"eMenger came in reeyonee u« «*r quested the attendance of the clerk In confidential relations with him. whose duty it la to fill In upon appointment blanks the names of those who are designed for appointments by the executive. The clerk appeared. "Mr. Blank," i said tbe attorney general "find out at once whose uame was sent yesterday to the senate with the recommendation by the president that he be, appointed associate justice of tbe supreme court of New Mexico," "I will look," said the clerk. He toon returned with a memorandum slip in his band. "Mr. Alexander," he said—"the man from Buffalo." Then a glimmering -of the truth dawned upon the group* "Are you sure," said Attorney General Griggs, "that the name was not McMillan?" "Certainly," was the reply. "The name was Silas Alexander." The situation was remarkable, and time was important. The president of the United States had inadvertently, by the error of a subordinate, been made to set aside the man whom he had intended to name. There came a pause. Mr. Griggs broke the silence. "Well, gentlemen," he said, 'the fat is In the fire, but we must get it out My subordinate has made this mistake, and I must do my best to get it recti- [ am pleased to inform the patrons along the routes tbat the F.

And so the three men went to the president and explained matters, and as a consequence a messenger, preceded by a telephone message, sped rapidly toward the capltol with instructions to seek Immediately the leader of the senate and prevent any action on the mistaken nomination and to make the statement to that leader tbat it was withdrawn. The messenger arrived just as the senate was about to take action, and if the telephone had been relied upon the nomination of Silas Alexander would have been confirmed by the United States senate, and the will of the presldent of tbe republic would have been defeated.—Saturday Kvening Post Tbe world owes every man a living, but doesn't furnish a collector.—Denver Times.

In 1863 they moved to Pinckn^ y and tor 38 years she has lived in this community. Som« years ago her parents died and in 1894 her brother Anson passed away. With him Miss Elizabeth and Miss Harriet had lived—the latter being called home in 1896. One lister Mrs. Brown and one brother Erie Campbell, survive her. For about a year her health had l.een failing. In the midst of affliction she was cheerful, patient and interested in all that was transpiring. She was a devoted member of the Cong'l Church of Pinckney. In pa*t years she was a valued teacher in the Sabbath School and was deeply interested in all branches of church work, ng the._mjinths of illness tbe promises of God's Word and her faith in prayer sustained ber. Tenderly and thoughttully she wa* cared for by loving relatives and friends. Suddenly but quietly she passed into the betworld, tier labors and sufferings in this life are over—her jjys and activities in the home prepared for-Christ's lovei ones, have begun.

Washington, June SO.—A delicate a^rd difficult duty is by Dr. Talmage In t£iis discourse urged upon all, and especially upon those given to quick tamper; text, Epheeians Iv, 26, "Be ye angry and sin not" Equipose of temper, kindness, patfenoe, forbearance, are extolled by vuost of the radiant pens of Inspiration, but my text contains that which at first tight Is startling. A certain kind of anger Is approved—aye, we are commanded to indulge In It. The most of «s have no need to cultivate high temper, and how often we say things and do things under affronted impuse which we .are sorry for when perhap3 it is too late to make effective apology! tWny, then, should the apostle Paul dip bis pen In the Ink horn and trace upon parchment, afterward to be printed upon paper for all ages, the injunction, "Be ye angry and sin not?" My text commends a wholesome indignation. It discriminates between the offense and the offender, the sin and the sinner, the crime and the criminal — To Illustrate: Alcoholism has ruined more fortunes, blasted more homes, detroyed more souls, than any evil that I itnk of. It pours a river of poison and Ire through the nations. Millions have died because of it, and millions are dying now, and others will die. Intern-' perance is an old flln: The great Cyrus, writing to the Lacedemonians of himself, boasted of many of his qualities, among others, that he could drink and .bear more wine than his distinguished brother. Louis X and Alexander the Great, died drusk. The parliament of .Edinburgh In 1661 is cal1ed in history rtthe drunken parliament." Hugh Miller, the first stone mason and afterward a world renowned geologist, writes of the drinking habits of his «Jay, saying: ^When the foundation jpas laid, they drajik. When the walls Vyere leveled for laying the joists, th*y <drank. When the building3 ware finished, they drank. When an aporentice joined, they drank." In the eighteenth Century the giver of an entertainment boasted that none of the guests went a^way sober. Noah, the first ship captain, was wrecked—not in the ark, for that was safely landed—but he was . wrecked with strong drink. Every man ••or woman rightly constructed will txinsh with indignation at the national and. international and hemispheric and planetary curse. It is good to bs aroused against It. You come out of that condition a better man or a better woman. Be ye angry at tint abomination, and the more anser the more ex- : altation to character. But that aroused feeling becomes sinful when it extends to the victim of this gr-at evl. D nnkenness you are to hate with a vivid hatred; but the drunkard you are to #Ity, to help to extricate. f Pr<xtrat»<! b* A»<nhoil«m. V Just take into consideration that there are men and women who once vrpiTR as upright as yourself who have cardl*#^B#clicking chips or the turning wfce:<l or the bids of the Stock Exchange, where people soil what they never owned and fall because they cannot get paid for it. A prominent banker tells me that he thinks 60,000 people financially prostrated by the recent Insanities in Wall street. Hare and there a case Is reported, but the vast majority suffer In silence. The children are brought home from school the wardrobe be denied replenishment, the table will have scant supply, wild generosity will be turned into grim want Forty years from now will be felt the disaster of last month's black Thursday, Can you hear the story of the unprincipled manipulators of stocks and of the devices of the gambling saloon to entrap the verdant and unsuspicious without having your pulses tingle, and your heart thump, and your entire nature shocked with the villainy? If so, you are not much of a man or much of a woman. You ought to be angry, for there Is no sin in such vehement dislike. You ought to be so angry that you could not repress your feelings in the presence of young men who are just forming their life theories. In every possible way you ought to denounce such stupendous robbery. Let it be known that the only successful game in which a man plays for money is the one which a man loses all and stops. Indlcrn«t'o-i OVPV Fmod. There is another sin that we are oftentimes called to be angry with, and thatIsfraud.Wealllikehonesty,and when it is sacriflecd we are vehement in denunciation. We hope that the detectives will soon come upon the track of the absconding bank official, of the burglar who blew up the safe, of the clerk who skillfully chauged the figures in the account beok, of the falsifier who secured the loan on valueless property, of the agent who because of his percentage wrongfully admits a man to the benefit of a life insurance policy when his heart U ready to stop and who comes from an ancestry characteristically short lived. One act of fraud told of In big headlines in the morning papers rightfully arouses the nation's wrath. It is th? interest of every good man and good woman who reads of the crime to have it exposed_ana- punished. Let it go unscathed, and you put a premium on fraud, you depress public morals, you induce those who are on the fence between right and wrong to get down on the wrong side, and you put the busbeen prostrated by alcoholism. Perhaps It came of a physician's presc;ip-. tlon for the relief of pain, a recurrence d the pain calling for a continnanco <jt the remedy; perhaps the grandfather was an inebriate and the temp:atflon to Inebriety, leaping over a generation, has swooped on this unfortunate; psrhaps it was undrr an a"> 'tempt to drown trouble that the benumbing and narcotic liquid was 'sought after; perhaps it was a gradual chaining of the man with the beverage which was thought to be a servant, when one day it announced itself master. Be humble now, and admit that there is a strong probability that under the same circumstances you irself might have been captured, is two appropriate emotions for you . 44 allow are indignation at the intoxi- H|Sjit which enthralled and sympathy *tor the victim. Try to get the sufferer rout of his present environment; recommend any hygienic relief that you 4cnow of and, above all, implore the ditto* rescue for the struggle In which so many of the noblest and grandest have been worsted. Do not give yourself up to too many philippics about wihat the man ought to have been and • ought to have done. While your cheek ^flushes, with wrath at the foe that has •brought ruin, let your eye be moisten- "6d with tears of pity for the sufferer. tin that way you will have fulfilled the injunction of the text, "Be ye angry tand sin not."

The constabulary and penitentiary must do their work. But while the merciless and the godless cry: "Good for him! I am glad he is within prison doors!" be it your work to find out if the man is worth saving and what were the causes of his moral overthrow. Perhaps he started in business life under a tricky firm, who gave him wrong notions of business integrity; perhaps there was a, combination of circumstances almost unparalleled for temptation; perhaps there were alleviations; perhaps he was born wrong and never got-over it; perhaps he did not realize what he was doing, and if you are a merciful man you will think o' other perhaps which, though tiny may not excuse, will extenuate. Perhaps he has already repented and is washed in the blood of the Lamb and is as sure of heaven as you are. What an opportunity von hava nr>w tnr ^hoy. ing my text. You were angry at the misdemeanor, but you are hopeful for the recovery of the recalc'trant. Blessed all prison reformers! Blessed are those governors and pres'dsnts who are glad when they have a chance to pardon! Blessed the forgiving, father who welcomes home the prodiga1. Blessed the dying thief whom the Lord took with him to glory, saying, "Thif day shalt thou be with me in para dise!" H«lp for the Cnb-Ilerer. Have a lightning in your eye and a flush in your cheek and a frown on your brow for a daslardy "that would blot out the sun and moon and stars of Christianity and leave all things in an arctic night, the cold equal to the darkness. You do well to be angry, but how about those who have been flunsr of scepticism, and that is more ml lions than you will ever know of until the Judgment day reveals everything Ah, here comes your opportunity fo gentleness, kindness, and sympathy. The probability is that If you had been plied with tha game in fluence as this unbeliever ther would not be a Bible In all yoar house from cellar to attic. Perall your house from cellar to attic. Perhaps he was In some important transaction swindled by a member of the church whose taking of the sacrament was a sacrilege. Perhaps he read agnostic books and heard agnostic lectures and mirgled in agnostic circles until he has been befogged and ne?ds your Christian help more than any one that you know of. Do not get into any labored argument about the truth of Christlanity. He may beat you at that. He has a whole artillery of weapons ready to open fire. Remember that no one was ever reformed for this H'e or saved for the lire to come by an argument, buOn humblest and gentleat way, your'voice subdued, ask Mm a few questions. Ask him if he had a Christian parentage, and if he says yes ask him whether the old folks died happy. Ask him if he has ever heard of any one going out of this life in raptures of Infidelity and agnosticism. Ask htm If It Is net a somewhat remarkable fact that the Bible, after BO many y a s, sticks together and that .there are more copies of It in existence than . ever before, A&k him if he knows of any batter civilisation than Christian civilization and whether he thinks the teachings of Confucius or Christ are preferable. Ask him if he minks it would be a fair thing in the Creator of all things to put In this world the human race and give them no direct communication for their guidance and, If they did wrong, tell them of no way of recovery, I think if a famous Infidel of our time, instead of being taken away instantaneously, had died In his bed after weeks and months of illness he would have revoked his teachings and left for his beloved family consolations which they could not find In obsequies at which not one word of Holy Scripture was read, or at Fresh Pond crematory, where no Christian benediction w^s pronounced I do not pcsltively say that in a prolonged illness there would have been a retraction, but I think there would. The Work of AM I m U n t . A man thoroughly mad can say enough in two minutes to damage him ' for 20 years. It took only five minutes for the earthquake to destroy Caracas. One unfortunate sentence uttered in i affront in a speech in the United States senate shut forever the 4dor of the White House against one of the most brilliant men of the last century. You can never trust a horse that has once run away, and you do not feel like trusting a man who has just once lost i his equilibrium. You need to drive your temper as a man drives a fractious span amid the explos'ons of a Fourth of July morning or the pyro-. technics of the Fourth of July night, | with curbed bit, taut rein, commanding vcice—mastering yourself and master- ; ing what you drive. If you are natur- • a ly high tempered, do not unnecessary ily go among irritations and provocations. Do not build a blast furnace next to a gunpowder mill; Then, also, such demonstrations of ungovernabil- ;ty belittle one^ Men take out their lead pencils and In estimating such a one take 50 per cent off. About the most hideous spectacle on earth is an angry man or woman burning not with ^nger commanded in my text, but w^h A bulletin sent out by tat Missouri State Board of Agriculture says: By far the most rational and satisfactory, and the cheapest method of curing scab la by dipping the sheep in iome liquid which Will kill the parasites. The dipping proce s is as follows: (1) Select a dip containing sulphur. Jf a prepared dip. is used which does not contain sulphur? It is alwayr safer to add about 16½ pounds of sifted lowers of sulp*hur to every 100 gallons Df water, especially if, after dipping, the sheep have to be returned to the ?ld pastures. (2) Shear all the sheep at the one time, and Immediately after shearing lonflne them to one-half the farm for two to four weeks. Many persons prefer to dip Immediately after shearing. (3) At-the end of this time dip evary sheep (and every goat also, If there are any on the farm). (4) Ten days later dip the entire flock a second time. (6) After the second dipping, place the flock on the portion of the farm from which they have been excluded during the previous four or five weeks. (6) Use the dip at a temperature Qi 100 degrees to 110 degrees J>\ (7) Keep each sheep in the dip for two minutes by the watch—do tfot guess at the time—and duck Its head at least once. i l8j Be careful in dipping rams, as they are more likely to ue overcome In the dip than are the ewes. n9) Injury may, however, result to "pregnanT ewes, which must, on this account, be carefuLy handleu Some farmers arrange a stage with sides, to hold the pregnant ewes, which Is lowered carefully into the vat, and raised after the proper time.

One way is to prepare and use it In accordance with the directions given; the other way 13 to attempt to economize time, labor, o.- money by using the dip in weaker proportion than advised, byimrrying th.3 sheep through the swim, or by latef placing the dipped sheep under unfavorable, conditions.

Every farmer should, therefore, remember that when he has decided upon the d.p he is to use, h-s work has only begun; to use the dip properly is fully as important as to use a dip at all. Sulphur is one of the oldest known remedies for scab, its use dating bacic to Columella in the early part of the Christian era. As a scab eradicator, it must be placed among the best substances at our disposal. It is one «f the constituents of certain proprietary dips, but its use to t^e farmer is test known »n the tobacco-and-sulphur dip and in the lim<* and-sulphur dip.

Better Than "Chr'stlftn Science;" Jetmore, Kans., Ju+y 1st—-Mrs, Anna. Jones Freeman, daughter of Mr. Q. O. Jones of Burdett, and one of the most popular ladles in Hodgeman County has been a martyr to headache for years. It has made her life a continual misery to her. She suffered pains in the small of the back, ar.d had every symptom of Kidney and Urinary Trouble. Today she is as well as any lady in the state. This remarkable change was dose entirely to a remedy recently introduced here. It is called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and many peop.c- claim It to be an infallible cure for Kidney Diseases, Rheumatism and Heart Trouble. Mrs. Freeman heard of Dodd's Kid-_ ney Pills, and almost with the first dose, she grew better. In a week, her headaches and other pains had g-ue* and she had left behind her all her illness and days of misery.

Pr«»*ervwtlv»» Not Needed. At the Vermont State Dairy convention held recently Maj. Henry E. Alvord, chief of the Dairy division of the department of agriculture, stated that the experiment of shipping butter 1.0 fbreign markets had begot the confidence of foreign merchants, by showing them that Americans could furnish an excellent quality of butter and place it on their markets in as good condition as other countries. Partly as the result of the department's work, there was more demand for American butter and cheese abroad than our merchants could supply. He did not believe In the use of preservatives In butter. Great Britain was the best market to cultivate, and no preservative was needed to send butter there. Sweden and Denmark boasted that they could send butter there without preservatives. Even butter color was not needed for the best butter market in all England—Manchester. In order to. compete successfully with Sweden, Denmark and Canada, what was needed; on dairy exports was the official stamp, of approval by this government, guar* anteelng the purity. If butter is of excellent quality, it would sell abroad Tn any kind of package, but tastes and preferences should " be studied.

Oopyrifbted VBl by Bobert Bonner's Sons. W iMTKuBocnoN. ' Boram. King: of Damascus, then at Its glory as the senith city of the east, bemoaned the coming of old age without .prospective heir to the throne. In his younger days h* had loved Helen, his.Queen, but tearing that she Hraa disloyal to him had her cast into the black, swift flowing Phorpar. At the time the story opens Ulin, the daughter of Aboul Caasem, the king's nrime minister, three times dreams that she has become the wife of the king and that a son being born to them is heir to the throne. Cassem telte the story to the king. The latter having long admired the many charms of Ulin, seeks an interview with her and on the aixth day following they are to be married. He thereupon abolishes his harem. Within the week Albia, the pretty slave mald-in-watingJai Ulin, lells the story of the trag.c fate at Helen. The story makes a deep impression and preys upon the mind of Hbe lbride-to-be. But her father urge3 &ertan and she now deems it a sac:el •duty tto become the queen. On the morning set for the wedding Ulin a joapther dies. According to the laws of Damascus she must go into mourning retirement for thirty days. Hsram agrees with her father that she shall pass the period of mourning in a secluded palace in the beautiful Valley of Lycanius. This valley is the sole possession of the king and can only be reached^by onec passage through a mighty mountain; capable of admitting but one person at a time. , Thither Ulin goes with Albia, where they afe placed under the protection of the attendants by the king and Uln's father. Six days after their entering Horam returns unexpectedly. Ulin acting on the suggestion of Albia, treats him kindly. OIIAl'TEIt I. Julian the Scouge. She asked if her father had come. "iso, my sweet laay," returned Horam. "He was busy. It may app.ar unseemly for me to come hither aloae; but my great love and my deep so icitude for your welfare, must be my excuse. 1 nope you have found it pieas^ ant here." The maiden said she could not have asked for a more pleasant place of abode. The king was charmed by her smiling speech—so different from what siie had ever before given him—and he fondly believed that she was deUghtei with his presence. Ulin, fearing that the least sign of coldness or reserve might excite the jealousy of the grey-headed-monarch, and bring down upon her some terrible evil, exerted all her powers of p.easantness, and wore the smile upon her face while a pang was in her bosom. But Horam's visit was destined tJ be cut short. While he was, for the sixth time making excuses for his visit the door of the apartment was unceremoniously opened and a black entered—not one of those who had been on guard in the valley but a stranger to VIin. covered with sweit and dust, as though he had been riding hard and fast. "Ha!" cried the king, starting to his feet. ''How now, Sadak? What is the meaning of this?" "Pardon, sire. I knew not that you were thus engaged. They only toid me that you were here and I stopped to inquire no further." "Not that—not that Sadak. Why have you come from Damascus in such ,hot haste?" "I came to inform you sire that Julian the Scourge of Damascus is approaching our city!" "Death and devastation!" cried Horam starting back with alarm. "How know you this?" "We heard from him by way of a merchant who was in a caravan that he had robbed." "What caravan?" "The caravan from Tadmoor, with the riches which were on their way from Bassona.** "Those riches were mine," said Horam. • "Aye, aire; and Julian took them— took all that belonged to you, but spared the poorer merchants. But that is not the worst He sends word that he will lay Damascus in ashes. Aboul Caaaem hade me hasten hither and give yam warning." The king was fairly beside himself with fear and rage. The name of Julian was a terror to him, and at the sound thereof he trembled exceedingly. And he seemed to fear more than the mere physical prowess of the Scours*. There was a mystic Quality in his Jaar —a nameless dread of the avenger. "Where is the demon now?" he asked, after he had gased awhile in si ence upon the messenger. "He is not far from the city, sire. Somewhere to the eastward, we think. Tour Journey beck, if you make haste, will be safe." ^ 1 wiltireturt^crfed thr monarchr •mitin* his fiats together; "and I will »ui**** uw u*i «,4u«y uuu Bw<*ciJ utiA terrible 8courge from off the face of the earth!" He bade Sadak go and make ready for the start, and then he turned to Ulin. "You will be safe here, sweet one; and it will not be long before our happiness shall be complete." His words of parting were few, far he was much excited, and his vo.ca trembled as he spoke. He turned back once after he had reached the door, as though he would say something, but finally went away without giving the intended speech. From a window Ulin watched the royal cavalcade until It had disappeared within the narrow pass, and when the last man had gone from her sight she turned to her companion. "Albia, what is it about this terrible robber—this Scourge of Damascus? I have heard something about him. I heard my father once speak of him; but my little knowledge of the world did not lead me to be inquisitive. Do you know anything about him?" "I have heard a great deal of him, my lady. He has been a terror to Damascus for a great many years. "How many years, Albia? I was thinking that my father, said he had not been long known in this section." "I may he mistaken," said A.bla, trying to recollect herself. "I know that he is a terribie Scourge, and that men fear him; but I do not know how many years he has been so. It may not be so many as I thought." "But who is he? Where did he come from?" "Ah, there is a mystery, my dear mistress. Nobody knows where he came from; but it is said that he is one whose family has suffered some great calamity at the hands of Horam. He is alona in the world, so far as relatives are concerned, and Horam hath done it; and so he comes to seek vengeance. He has a large body of bold men under him, and twice has he met and overcome the forces which the king had sent out to capture him. He does not rob as common robbers do. _He never troubles the poor, or thosa of the middle class; but the ruler3 and princes of Damascus he causes to suffer." "Did you ever see him, Albia?" "Mercy! no. I would not see him.far the world. He must be terribe to look upon. I have heard one of your father's officers say that he could strike a b:ow with his fist to fell an ox. and that before the lightning of his eye brave men shrank in terror. O, I should be afraid to see him." "It seems to me that I shouM like to see such a man," said Ulin, in a musing tone. "I have never seen such men. The man whose arm can strike down an ox, and whose eye flashes forth such power, could not harm a helpless maiden." "Upon my life, you have a curious taste," Albia returned. "Because," added Ulin, with a smile, "I never had my taste cultivated. Still, in all seriousness, it does seem to me that 1 should lo4v. e to lean upon a strong, bold man. If I were to love a man with my whole heart, I should like him to be so strong and so powerful and so brave, that his very presence would be protection to me. Is that very strange?" "It is so strange," replied the slave, significantly, "that I fancy,the king would feel new cause for jealousy if he should hear you say so." "When I am the king's wife I shall be true to him, and I shall honor and respect him. I will love him if I can. But, Albia, there is no need of saying more. We will have our dinner, and then we will walk out into the garden." Suddenly a messenger appears asking for assistance from the guard. With 50 stalwart guards he hurries toward the gates. "What can it be?" cried the princess, in alarm. But Albia could not imagine. She could only beg of her mistress to take courage, and hope for no evil. Ere long, however, another messenger came to the palace, who made his way to the room where the princes3 was sitting. He trembled with excitement. "How now, Aswad?" demanded Ulin. "What is the meaning of all this disturbance?" "Alas, my lady, an enemy is at our gates. The terrible Scourge of Damascus demands entrance into the valley." "What does he seek?" "I dare not tell you?" "What seeks he?" cried the princess, authoritatively. ''If there is danger, I would know what it is." "There msynsot be danger~for you, lady. We may beat the robber off. We will do so If we can." "But the king told me that a handful of determined men could hold that pass against a thousand." —"But these are not ordinary men. This Julian is a very demon, and I •verily beU eve that,he hsth more than human power. Still we will do the 1 beat that we can." i ''You have not told me what he ' seeks. Answer me that question—answer It without further hesitation." "He seeks the maiden whom the king is to take for a wife," "Seeks me?" uttered the princess, with a start. "Yes, my lady. Such is his avowal." "la mere?'* name, jtood Aswad, -pro-- tect me. Let not that dreadful robber gain access to the valley." "Hurry, hurry!" cried Albia, "Away to your companions, and bid theja strain every nerve. If they suffer the Scourge of Damascus to gain pa sage hither they know what the wrath of the king must be." "Poweis of heaven!" cried Ulin with clasped hands and quivering frame "the demon must not find us.' "You are not so anxious to sse him as you were" remarked Alb.a. "I thought your whim was a strange one." "Speak not qf that" said Ulin quickly and severely. "I meant not that I wou.d have -him come to seek me. O Albia, what can he want?" "Indeed, my mistress, I dare not think. But let us lcok in another direction. If he does not find us, we care not why he comes. Ha! See! Hire comes Aswad again. He looks frightened." Aswad entered the chamber with trembling step and seamed afraid to speak; but the demand of the princess opened his lips. "Lady, I fear that the robber will prevail against us. He is accompanied by fierce, furious men, who fight 1 ke lions.and his own Bword is irresistible. His body is covered with scales of finest steel and the blows of our men fall harmless upon him." "But the dreadful man has not yet broken through?" said Ulin eagerly. "No, lady. Our brave meu fight as well as they can." "Has the robber entered the pass?" "Not far." "Then you may hold him at bay yet. O, Aswad, if you would be blessed forevermore let not the Scourge gain ths valley!' "We will do our best, lady; but you must be prepared for the worst. If we are finally overcome you must hide yourse.f." "Where? Where can we hide?"asked Albia. I "In the palace or somewhere in the j gardens; or upon the mountains." "There is no hiding place which a ' keen eye would not detect. I have looked in every direction. So, Aswad, save us by your stout arms." "I fear the demons will prevail," said Ulin, in a tone of breathless suspense. "I dare not hope otherwise," returned Albia. • ' " . "If they do come, we must find some place in which to hide." "Alas, my dear mistress, there is no such place. If we go up among the rocks, we not on y run the risk of baing easily found, but we run the greater risk of starving." "I would rather starve than fall into the dread Julian's hands," said Ulin. "It would be a terrible death to starve, upon those bleak rocks!" returned Albia, with a shudder. "But I will share your fate, my mistress, let it be what it may." "And would not death by starvation be preferable to the fate which m st meet us if that monster captures us? m."W ass = = r ?

' Before the slave could repr\ they saw Aswad again coming toward them; but he did not enter the palace. He struck off into a path that kd to the westward, and fled with all his might. Directly afterwards a score of th2 guards came rushing from the pass, and when they had gained the open space, they threw down their sworis and sank upon their knees. "What means that?" cried Ulin. "Are they killed?" '•'No." answered Albia. ~They are overcome, and have surrendered. See! there come the victors!" •"Let us flee!" exclaimed the princess, starting to her feet "O, we must find some place of refuge!** Albia was more thoughtful. She saw very plainly that flight would be useless. "My dear mistress," she said, taking Ulin's hand. "We must hope for the best. If we leave the palace, we shall be overtaken at once; for the way to the mountains lies only through the park of fountains. If we flee to the garden in the rear, we shall be surely found, and it may be worse for us in the end. If this dreadful Julian has the least spark of humanity in his bosom, he will respect you more In your own chamber than he would if he found you hiding in the garden." "Spirits of mercy defend us!" ejaculated the princess, clasping her hands upon her bosom, and sinking back in her seat. "O, Albia, A'bia, the presence of the king would now be a blessing!"

F o r some years a decided inclination- has been apparent all over the country to give u p the use of whiskey and other strong alcohols, using as a s u b s t i t u t e beer and other compounds. This is evidently founded on the idea that beer is not harmful, and contains a large amount of nutriment; also On the first of next J a n u a r y it is said that the Michigan Central will put on a suburban service between Detroit and Jackson and would make rates to compete with the electric lines. They wil1 put on just as many trains as the traffic will warrant and will make stops at every little place along the line. This with the two electric lines that aie to run parallel with the Central will be able to oarry all passengers, and no doubt t h e ones who travel will choose the most comfortable way. I t seems a far better plan if the electric , roads could run through that p a r t of the country where tbey would receive no opposition from steam roads.

APPLE BORERS, Three Remedies All Old, but Hot Tot Improve* Upon. Now, borers are difficult things to fight under all circumstances, and no course of treatment Is known which will entirely eradicate them. Nevertheless every one that is killed is just so much gained for the general good. There are three practices that have been found useful, though no one of them, or all of them combined, will rid an orchard of an insect that breeds In so many host trees. They are the same old remedies recommended many yean ago and which have not since been improved upon. They consist In protecting by meant of a wash, binding the trunk with paper and digging out the young larvae. - -Whitewash or-^wfaltewaefa and glueapplied to the trunk and large limbs is said to have a very beneficial effect It should be applied early in June and kept on in good condition through most of July. Soft sonp is also used for this purpose. Second. — Binding paper about the trunk and larger limbs. For this purpose news paper is best used next th#>. treeanorbiindlng paper outside. Third,—Searching for the young larvoe during August aud September. At this time the young have not gone into the sap wood, but live in cavities just under the bark, the excrement being pushed through small holes. When any Tusptctotre—waste ts seen protruding from the bark, it is well to investigate with a stiff pin and if a. cavity is found to extract the occur mnt before iie goes so deeply into the wood as to_- be beyond our reach.

The Cosmopolitan Sheep. The Merino as an intensely cosmopolitan sheep stands without a peer. He thrives on the rich alluvial bottom lands, presenting a rotundity of form that would do credit to some of the smaller mutton breeds, and yields annually a heavy fleece of admirable •wool. We find this same hardy, contented breed in flocks of 2,000 grazing upon the plains and mountain heights, industriously nipping the tender herbage, without a sign of constitutional defect in the whole flock. It is these peculiar traits of character that so eminently fit the Merino for transient sheep husbandry. This breed large'y predominates in the semlarid regions and is found to be perfectly suited to conditions prevailing there. The ewes cross well with the Downs and long wools, and lambs from those crosses are quite popular with the butcher and feeder. Wow They Are Married.

Tl>ey are the first ones after the doors of the big tents are opened to land on the blue -pranks;—They- fill a good part of the arena, and they never move during the entire performance. Applause is unknown to them. They make as little show of enthusiasm as their brothers in wood in front of the white man's cigar stores. If th* trick elephant were to climb the center pole, they would BO doubt enjoy the performance, but they would make no more show of surprise than if they were molded from day. If the performing mule were to waif- ©at on the hippodrome track and make a concert announcement in tbe Indian tongue, they would only grunt.

The whole Is roofed with cedar shingles. There is a cellar or basement under the whole house. The cellar wall is of stone and mortar. 0 feet high and 2 feet thick. At the lower end it rises three feet above tluv surface of the ground, at the upper end about-a foot. The cellar is tile drained, has a,good cemented bottom, is lighted by three wiudows, with double sash for winter, and is ventilated by two 4 inch tiles, which are closed in very cold weather. The floor over the cellar Is 2½ inches thick, inch lining with tar paper and 1½ inch plank. Tbe floor above-the packing room is of two layers of inch boards, with tar paper between. The packing and sorting room above the cellar is lighted by four windows. The upper sash drops six inches for ventilation. There are wo deors. The loft or upper atory Is approached by stairway at end of packing room. The only approach to the cellar is near the center of the building, by a lift which consists of a section of the floor cut 4 feet by 4 feet 2 inches and supported by four five-eighth inch iron rods, one at each corner of the platform. These pass through and up to the ends of two stout cross arms made of white ash G feet 0 inches above the platform, and on the top and the center of the cross arms is attached a nine inch pulley. This platform, or open cage, runs in grooves of the frame of the shoot, wkjch consists of four upright scantategb 5 by 2 inches, one at each corner, Ann •oors and to the bottom of the frame In the cellar. The platform, being a section of the floor for loading and unloading, is held in position by a brake and lever attachment on top of the drum in the loft and is operated from the floor of the»packing room by a l'V4 Inch endless rope, which passes twice around the drum in the loft and down through either side of the platform to the bottom of the shoot over two small'pulleys to kt*tp it taut. The lowering and raising are,facilitated by a 200 pound couuterweight attached to the shaft by a rope and pulley. The cellar will store 200 barrels of apples.

Clemens, pending the result of the inquest. Old man Bliss disappeared from home on Sunday. June 1). The first known of his disappearance was when his wife and son made inquiry of the Detroit police concerning him. They said there had been a little family quarrel on Sunday, and that he left the house In a rage. They did not think anything about It until they found In a desk a Lote, presumably written by the missing man. but not signed. In which it was stated that the writer had gone to Detroit to drowu himself in the Detroit river. The people The influx of settlers to the Kaa»is wheat belt in the last *thre9 yea s has caused land to raise 20 per cent, in price, and land which in 1892 sold for $500 a quarter section cannot now be had at $3,000.

General Harrison also owned at the time of his death Berkeley Lodge, his summer home in the Adirondacks, and property in Washington, D. C , and North Bend, O. In consequence of the increased demand for horse flesh as an article cf food, the Hygt«n1c~S3c1ety of F a n s h -s urged upon the municipal council the necessity of providing a larger slaughter house than that at present exist ng where animals that have outrun f i e r usefulness as carriers and haulers may be killed and cut up for the butchers. Only about twenty horses can be ki l:d and disposed of dally at the present slaughter house, and it is estimated that a place with a kiring capac ty of not lets than 30,000 a year is necessary to keep up with the demands of the Parisians for ths meat. A New YorK dairyinau-^takes the suggestion that farmers who are supplying city markets should name their places, and so establish a sort of trademark for their products. "Lookout Farm," for instance, would stick In the memory of customers, and if the name were stamped on super or articles only, it would not be long before the Lookout Farm butter, cheese and eggs woa.d command the be3t prices. The dairyman adds that those who are looking for country places will give more for those that have an established name and reputation. In short, it would pay the farmer to advertise judiciously, as it pays any other business man. iu this village and vicinity are stlrreil as never before. Everybody Is expressing his opinion now that Bliss' body has been found, and Instead of Innuendoes open charges of foul play are being freely made.

He said that on the Sunday the old man left home, he found him in -ae woods near the house 1 the act of trving to shoot himself. He grappled with the old man for the possession of the gun, and in the struggle both barrels were discharged, and his father fell dead. He became seared- and buried the bodv under a brush heap, together w » ^ kae pun. Alter the officers, who came to the ho: .e to investigate the rumors of foul play, t a d left the vicinity, Homer says he dug up the body and wheeled it to where It was found last Sunday. Then he fixed the gun to make it appear that his father had committed suicide. TL-iiJi.. « Cook \K»nte fSO. < - fiamuel F.

No such number of lives were lost as the frightened natives first reported* The original estimates of 200 fatalities must now be reduced by over half. It will be days before all the small back county settlements arc heard from and the exact facts known. — . e s t information as to the storm at Pocahontas coal field places the damage to property at $300,000.

NATHAN OFTME General Washington wanted a man. It was in September, 1776, at the City of New York, a few days after thy battle of Long Island. The swift and deep East River flowed between the The officers were conversinp in a group. No one had as yet spoken the. decisive word. Colonel Knowlton appealed to a French sergeant, an old soldier _.pf former wars, and asked Wm to volunteer. ' "No, no," said he. "I am ready to fight the British at any place and time, but I do not feel willing to go among them to be hung up like a dog." Captain Hale joined the group of officers. He said to Colonol Knowlton: "T V7J11 nnrinrtnkfl i t " ^ to New* York in one of his boats, and with him the fatal proofs that he was a spy. - September 21st was the day on which he reached New York—the day of the great fire which laid one-third of the little city in ashes. From the time of hi3 departure from General Washington's camp to t'aat of his return to Now York was about fourteen days. He was taken to General Howe's headquarters at the Beekman mansion, on the East river, near the corner of the -present—Fifty-first—street and—First two hostile armies, and General Wash- Ington had as yet no system established tor getting Information of the enemy's movements and intentions. He , never needed such information so much 4& at that crisis. What would General Howe do next? _U ha-crosa at Hell Gate, the American army, too small in numbers, and defeated the week before.might be caught on Manhattan island a3 in a trap, and the Issue of the contest might be made to depend upon a single battle; for In such circumstances defeat would involve the capture of the whole army. And yet General Washington was com- —petted to confess: "We cannot learn, nor have we been able to possess, the least information of late." Therefore he wanted a man. He wanted an intelligent man, cool-headed, skillful, brave, to cross the East River to Long Island, enter the enemy's camp and get information as to his strength and intentions. He went to Colonel Knowlton, commandig a re- {markably efficient regiment from Connecticut, and requested him to ascertain if this man so sorely needed could be found In his command. Colonel XKnowUon called his officers together, stated the wishes of General Washington, and, without urging the enterprise upon any individual, left the matter to their reflections. Captain Nathan Hale, a brilliant youth of 21, recently graduated from Tale college, was one of those who reflected upon the subject He soon reached a conclusion. He was of (he very flower of the young men of New England, and one of the best of the younger soldiers of the patriot army. He had been educated tor the ministry, and his motive in adopting for a time the profession of arms was purely patriotic. This we know from the familiar records of his life at the time m whsa the oa» to arms was first heard In addition to ma other gifts and graces, he was handsome, vigorous and athletic, all in au extraordinary degree, If he h&a live^ in our u&y he might have pulled, the stroke oar at New T^ndos or pitched for the college alas. Some of his best friends remonstrated. One of them, afterwards the famous Gen. William.Hull, then a captain in Washington's army, has recorded Hale's reply to hi3 own attempt to dissuade him. "I think," said Hale, "I owe to my country the accomplishment of an object so Important. I am fully sensible of the consequences of discovery and capture in such a situation. But for a year I have been attached to the army, and have not rendered any material service, while receiving a compensatlon for which I make no return.—Iwish to be useful, and every kind of service necessary for the public good becomes honorable by being necessary." He spoke, as General Hull remembered, with earnestness and decision, as one who had considered the matter well, and bad made up his mind. Having received his instructions, he traveled fifty miles along the Sound as far as Norwalk, in Connecticut. One who saw him there made a very wiss remark upon him, to the effect that he was "too good looking" to go as a spy. He could not deceive. "Some scrubby fellow ought to have gone." At Norwalk he^assumed the disguise of a Dutch schoolmaster, putting on a suit of plain brown clothes and a round, broad-brimmed hat He had no difficulty in crossing the Sound, since he bore an order from General Washington which placed at his disposal all the vessels belonging to Congress. For several days everything appears to have gone well with him, and there is reason to believe that he passed through the entire British army without detection or even exciting suspicion. Finding the British had crossed to New York, he followed them. He made his way back to Long Island, and nearly reached the point opposite Norwalk where he hand originally landed. Rendered, perhaps, too bold by success, he went into a well-known and popular tavern, entered into conversation with the guests and made himself very agreeable. The tradition is that he made himself too agreeable. A man present, suspecting or knowing that he was not the character he had assumed, quietly left the room, communicated his suspicions to the captain of a British ship anchored near, who dispatched a boat's crew to capture and bring on board the agreeable stranger M<« trust r h a r a r t f t r w n « ImratvHatflly vs>. vealed. drawings of some of the British works, with notes in Latin, wero found hidden in the soles of his shoes. Nor did ho attempt to deceive !)le capors, and tae ifinglleh :aptaia, iamenting, as he saga, that " s o fine a fellow had fallen into his power,'* seat him avenue. It is a strange coincidence *hat the house to which he was brought to be tried as a spy was the very one from which Major Andre departed when he went to West Point. Tradition says that Captain Hale was examined in a greenhuuse which then stood in the garden of the Beekman mansion. Short was his trial, for he avowed at once his true character. The British general signed an order to his provostmarshal directing him to receive into his custody the prisoner convicted as a spy, and' to see him hanged by tha neck "tomorrow morning at daybreak." Terrible things are reported of the manner in which this noble prisoner, this admirable gentleman and hero, was treated by his jailer and executioner. There are savages in every large, army, and it is possible that this provost-marshal was one of them. It is said that he refused him writing materials, and afterward, when Captain Hale had been furnished them by others, destroyed before his face his last letters to his mother and to the young lady to whom he was engaged to be married. As those letters were never received, this statement may be true. The other alleged horrors of the execution it is safe to disregard, because we know it was conducted in the usual form and in the presence of many spectators and a considerable body of troops. One fact shines out from the distracting confusion of that morning, which will be cherished to the latest posterity as a precious ingot of the moral treasures of the American people. When asked if he had anything to say, Captain Hale replied: "\ only regTet that I have but one life to lose for my country." The scene of his execution was probably an^ old graveyard in Chambers street, which was then called Barrack street. General Howe formally notified General Washington of his execution. In recent years, through the industry of investigators, the pathos and sublimity of these events have been in part revealed. TT-I « ^,. , which create monopolies to control A\hen Gov.

Unable because of other important dirties to accept the Invitation to take in the great convention of Chrls- Endeavorers at Cincinnati, began week, I preach a sermon of congratulation for all the members of that magnificent association, whether now rhered in vast assemblage or busy their places of usefulness, transatlantic and cisatlantic, and as it is j^fMr harvest time in the fields and cfofclca are fiaching in the gatherings i a great crop, I find mighty sugges- 4kfseness in my text. ft is a picture of a tropical clime, tsfth a season so prosperous that the flMT^t rpnf:hr\a clear over to the Ranting time, anil the swarthy hupt& ndman, busy cutting the grain, almost feels the breath of the horse3 ^D his shoulders, the horses hitched to t> plow, preparing for a new crop, ehold the d;iys come, saith the Lord, t ^ a t the plowman shall overtake the -^baper.** When is that?

I appeal to your common gense. You know the most endearing instlutiton on earth, the most popular institution on earth today Is the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. A man is a fool that does net recognize It. The infidels say: "There is great liberty now for infidels; freedom o ' platform. Infidelity shows its power from the fact that ft fs evervwh-re tolerated, and it. can say what it wll ." Why, my frier.ds, infidelity is not half so blatant in our day n.-i It. was in tho days of our fathers. Do you know 'hat in the days of our fathers there were pronounced InfideTs in public au'hority, and they could get. a-iy political position? Let a man today declare himself antagonistic- to the ChrUt'an religion and what city wa \t<\ h'm fo" mayor; what state v.-ant a h'm for governor; what nation wants hira <or president or for king?

At the same time there was in a church in thi3 city a Sabbath school convention, and it happened that one of the men who wag in the Sabbath school convention was also a member of the political convention. In the political convant'on the name highest on t h e roll at that time and about to be nominated was the name of the great champion infidel.

Half an hour passed, and she had not been troubled; but during that time she had witnessed transaction) which were not calculated to allay her fear*. She had seen over fifty of iha king's guards bound and led away, aad she saw that a number of the ro'jLe.s had been placed on guard at the ent r a n t ' ^ i b * rocky. passage. They were wild, savage look.ng men, appeaxtas to her fear-wrought vis on, like t i e evil spirits she had heard har old black nurse tell ab.ut. At .length the sound of feat was heard near at hand, and very shcrtly the door of the apartment was opened, and a black slave entered, it was a woman, and ono cf those whom the king had left. **«Good lady," she said, trembling as s h e spoke, "the hour of doom has come. I am a slave to a new raas.er, a n d that master has sent me t o tell jrou that he wishes to see you." "Who ia he?" asked Ulin. "I don't know, but I .think :hc is Ju- 31an, the Scourge. His look ia lerribla.. Upon his brow sits thcthundercl ud, and in his eye flashes the forked lightn i n g ! " "Will he come up here?" "He said/So." "I h a v e / n o power to iinovent him. Tell him7 1 am weak and -Uefenceks3, and a t / t i s mercy." ThX slave bowed and withdrew, and in^tf little while some o n e e . s e came. A heavy footfall sounded without, and /the door was slowly and caraful.y opened. But, who i3 this? What spirit has thus appeared in the palace! A man had entered ±he_ chamber a.ono. He was youthful—not more than "three 67 four-and-twenty—with- kindly look, and cf noble bearing. He \va3 not larger of frame than common men; but the perfect symmetry of form, the exact correspondence cf all the parU; the delicate rounding of the graceful outline,—and the—filling up of—appoints where sources of strength cou'.d be deposited, gave token of a power which might lead the careless obsjrv^r to pro ounce him a giant. He gazed upon the beautiful miiden for some moments w-thout speaking, seeming to drink in a .new inspiration from ber loveliness, as the student of nature does when sonic new and unexpected scene of grandeur bursti upon his vision. "Fair lady," he said in softest tone3, "permit me to hope thai this intrusion may be pardoned. I would not £ i v j you pain, and if yon li;-.ve been alarmed, be assured that ynu have caus? ~tor~rt-no—more.—Tull UJU how I—mayserve you." He approached her a s he spoke, and she, Without hardly realizing what s'le did, 'arose and gave him her hand. H he had gazed upon her with admiration, her own feelings had not besn entirely different. Her woman's instinct told t c r thnt here was a man whom she could tru:t; and her woman's heart beat with an emotion entnrely new and strange. "Noble sir," s h e said, meeting h: s gaze with the strength of perfect trustfulness, "Heaven ha3 sent 3'ou to .save me Irom t h e dread man who has made his way to this place. If you have the power to do it, you will lead me to bless you fo:eve:more;" "Of what m a n do you spsak?" asksd t h e stranger, still hoMing her hands. "I speak of him who is known as the Scourge of Damascus—of the terrible Julian." The man was silent for a few moments, but ho did not withdraw his gaze from the maiden's face. "Sweet lady," he at length sa'd, «peaking very lowly and tenderly, "I a m informed that the king of Damascus has sent you hither to keep you safely until he can mak3 you hU srtfe." ">He hath done so, sir." "And yet it_seems that he did not provide so wisely, after all. Would you wish to be carried to the king?** "No, no, sir—not tp the king, I would be carried to my father." There could be no mistaking the character of the emotions'under which the princess spoke. With all the king's power her hope was not in him. The stranger marked the changes of her countenance; and, while a warmer light shone in bis handsome eyes, he resumed— •'I cannot say when you shall be retarnod to your father; but I can give you my solemn assurance that I can protoct you. I will protect you from the hands of those whom you have cause to fear; and, at the same time, I will regard you as a sacred trust, to be respected and purely cherished. And now, lady, have I your confidence?" , H e Jet go her hands, held until BOW. and when he had taken a seat not far from her, he continued: "Lady Ulin, you have spoken of Julian, and I see that you fear him, D.d you ever see him?" Ulin shuddered as she answered irt the negative. "Did you ever hear his story?" "No, sir. Albia has told me something, but not much." "I can tell you the whole, if you would Hear it." "I should like to hear it, fair sir." "Believe me, lady, when you have heard what I shall tell you, you w}tl not regard Julian with EO much of abhorrence. But of one thing I give y o j warning: In telling the story of Julian I must speak harsh words against your affianced husband." "My—affianced—husbind ?" repeated Ulin, with a troubled pause between her words. "r mean Horam, King of Damascus," said the stranger, regarding the beautiful maiden as though he read her every thought. "I am not keeper over the character of*Horam. The truth, sp ken in a true cause, will qot offend me." "Then, lady, let me first assure yon that Julian Is not the monster your fears have painted. He has never done wrong to any, save the powerful ot Damascus. Go to the forests and mountains of Lebanon, and you shall find a thousand poor peasants whoss families he has befriended. He has taken gold and jewels, and precious stuf s of silk and linen, from the scores of Horam; but he hath not made h.msclf rich therefrom.. He and h 3 followers have lived, and beyond this the booty has been bestowed upon the poc» and needy. Julian hath also waylaid and broken up caravans; and turned back many expeditions which the king had sent out. He "may be Just what hath been said—he may bs tho Sconrje of Damascus, but he has no wish to trouble honest men. His aim has bsea, vengeance upon t^e king." "And why should he seek such vengeance upon the king?" asked Ulin. "1 will tell you, lady. But for the shall not be disturbed. Ton may otoap as safely tonight as ever you slept ipon your mother's bosom, and so shall you be'safe while I am near you. You will see Julian in the morning?" "You will come with him?" "If you wish it, lady." "I do wish it, for I feel that I am acquainted with you; and, furthermore, i have said that i would trust f eruii&tlie Great Tonic Cures you." 9!Sff^T??

' ;-• '•'•'':• ''•'•"• ' foi king of Damascus Julian might be now one ot the most free and happy mon living; but as it Is, he is a stranger a: d i an outcast upon the face of the earth. He is a wanderer, without a horns, and with only such friends as are bound to him in his adventurous and dangerous course. Once many years ago—he had parents and the prospect of life was bright before him; but in an unhappy hour the gloom and the darkness came. Horam, in wicked, jealous wrat>\ swept away all that was bright and promising from the path of Jul.an and shut out the star of "hope forever. O. swpet lady. I dare not pa n your ear with all that Horam did. Were I to tell you all, you would regard the king as such a monster that your heart would close against h:m, and your very coul would shrink at tha sound of his name. A3 true as the heavens are above us, so true is it that the.heart of Julian 1« not evil. When he locks back upon the utter desolation of his young Jife, and realizes that the king cf Damascus mal.gnantiy and cruelly brought the curse upoi him can you wonder that his soul is fraught with vengeance?" "I never beard this story bet ore," said Ulin, her .voice trembling with deep emotion. "If It is true, as you have told mo, I eannot t l a m s Julian so much." "And yet yon fear him, lady?" "I cannot help'it. He hath com? hither in battle array, and made war against me." "Nay, nay, sweet lady. You do much mistake his intent. I can tell you why he came hither. He heard from a messenger whom he met upoa the pla as of Marthal, that a fair damsel was shut up here—a maiden whom the king intended to marry. It might have pleased him to deprive Horam of a wife; but it pleased him more to release a gentle lady from such enslavement. He knows what the king of Dama CU3 has, ere this, done unto his wives. He has heard that the dark waters of the Pharpor are but a short span from the royal bed. And hence he came to sat free one whom he feared might meet a worse fate than the encountering of the Scourge of Damascus. Did he commit a grievous sin in this, lady?" "Indeed, sir, I know not what to say." • "Will you not see Juliain? Do not shudder. I assure you that he wiH be most gentle in his bearing. Hut I know he would like to speak with you -—he would hear from your own lips that you do not think him a moaster; and he would also know your pleasure.' — ^ b * n wiILn£_come? * "Let it be tomorrow morning* lady.

He turned, with his hand upon the latch, and added: "I trust that your dreams may be gweet and pleasant If dark phantoms come to your pillow they shall not be of Julian. There is another whom you have more cause to dread—one who, ia hard and hoary age would feast upon the charms of your loveliness. Pardon me, fcr I go with a blessing breathed upon thee." Til a moment more the man was gone, and the door was closed behind him. Uftn gazed vacantly upon the spot where he had stood, until she felt a hand upon her shoulder. She started, and looked up; and it wa3 only Albia. "My dear mistress, is not this a strange adventure?" "Very strange," replied the princess, casting her eyes to the floor, and then slowly raising them to that vacant spot. "What do you think of the strange man?" the slave girl pursued, sitting down by her lady's 3lde. "What do you think of him?" said Ulin. "I ihink he is very handsome. He is the most noble looking man I ever saw." Ulin showed by her look that she was grateful for this am-wer. It pleased her, though she may not have •known it. "Such a man could not ba a bad man," she said. "Dsceptioa canno; dwell in such a face." "I should think not," returned Albia, to whom the remarks had been put in the form of questions. "And what do you think of the story he told concerning tho robber JuLan?" "I think he told us the truth, my lady. A s - h e went on with Jthe jtale, I remembered that I had heard it just so before.

"I think," replied Albia, "that people have described him who never saw him, and that their fear-fraught imaginations drew the picture." "So I tMnk," returned Ulin. She gazed a few moments upon that oid vacant spot, and then added: "I shall see him on the morrow, and I must say that the thought is not frightful. I feel assured that he means me no (harm." "Vet," ventured Albia, "it is a enriou3 whim which should lead him to seek to release you from the hands of the king. But I don't know as we can wonder at it. Perhaps he thought you were some friendless girl who did not know--" The princess motioned for her companion to stop. "We will not talk of the king, Albia: and, touching this Julian, we shall know more when we see him." (To be continued.) EPWORTH LEAGUE CONVENTION, San Francisco, Cal.f 18-21, 1901.

A story of Lord Charles Bercsford's er.rly exploits in Parliament crors up u^ain. An old county member, sadly troubled by gout, made a practice c! retiring to one of the benches under the reporters'—gallery, behind—tiLLspeaker's'chair. HLs habit was to take : off his boots, which he placed under i the bench, lie down at full length, and : doze securely under the shade of the ; gallery till his rest was disturbed bj j the call for a division, when he would ; slip on his boots. Lord Charles Beres- j ford observed the place where thi j honorable member had put his boots I and when he was sound asleep tool-: | away one, which he hid. When th<? division came the victim was compelled to leave his seculsion and walk into the lobby with only one boot on amid the roars of good-humored laughter. The lady's slipper, known arso a s the whippoorwill's shoe and the mofc- | casln flower, grows in deep, shadjr woods, often in company with moseefe, .- ferns and triUIums. It is such a .rtdfcty flower that few people who see ffc can resist the temptation to pick &. and it is, therefore, becoming evcop day more difficult-to find. It has macr^y attractions "for the bee*, for It not oir|r ! provides him with plenty of food, biSt also furnishes him with a splendid ba»- ! quet hall.

Peach trees are Inclined to overbear —that is, set—more fruit than they can properly mature with the amount of food material it is possible for them to assimilate. Hence it is that the fruit all remains small, not reaching the size that will bring satisfactory prices in the markets. Thinning the fruit will reduce the •train upon tbe tree. There will be, so to speak, a smaller number of mouths to feed, and the remaining fruit will be correspondingly larger. As the severest strata upon the tree Is occasioned by the development of the teed the thinning should be done before the seed begins to harden. This will be while the fruit is still quite small. It will be safe to begin as soon as the "June drop" is passed: The objection that many hold to thinning is the expense of the operation.

Tho flying machine, fresh experiments with which are constantly reported, is an example of delay in invention. A few years after the landing of the Pilgrims, Dr. John Wilkins, who afterward married a sister of Oliver Cromwell, published a work In which he said it was possible to make a "flying chariot, in wnich a man may sit, and give such motion unto it as shall convey him through the air. And this, perhaps, might be made large enough to carry divers men at the same time, together with food for their viaticum, and commodities for traffic." The suggestion of a trade side to air travel points to the remote possibility of a flying-machine combination which will control the "airline" of the future.

JJPair of Postmen. BY K * T E M. CL^-MtY. (Copyright, ltfJl. by Daily Story Pub. Co.) It was a shock for Kennedy. Ho had almost completed sorting o u t t h e letters t o be delivered along his beat when h e came on t h a t one addressed to Nora Dillon. He—reiognizcd—tbechirography instantly. H e had Eeeu it many times. T h e letter had been written by Bertram Ryder. Ryder was not only a fellow-postman, but his warmest a n d most intimate tfriend. Why, ho had not known that Ryder was even acquainted with Nora—the girl whom he had come to love with a passion quite incommensurate with hi3 pay. and his prospects. Not that this latter fact, would matter if thc*y really loved each other. So far Kennedy had not dared to put his affection to the test of a declaration. But he had bsen screwing his courage up to that point for weeks, and—although he was far from bein^ a conceited fello -*—he had felt that he was being encouraged by the pretty daughter of the prosperous contractor on Elm avenue. IE only she would come to the door for the mail today! He would watch he;—would notice her acceptance of the envelope addressed by Ryder. Tho thought spurred him to activity. H J hastened thiough with his work as rapidly as possible, and went trudging "A Letter for You." off on his afternoon delivery, his well* packed bag slung over his shoulder. sThe glare of early summer lay hot and yellow on the city streets. Crowd? of well-dressed people were coming and going. The laughter of children mingled with the silver dripping of a fountain in a little green square. But Jim Kennedy could only think of •one opening door, whi<Jh framed a straight, yo'^ng, girlish form in a gay little go»vn. That was one of the things which had first attracted him to Nora Dillon—the fact that her pretty, bright garments, pink and hellotrope, and axure seemed somehow to suit well her swift, sunny smile and laughing b.u» eyes? Kennedy's bag was considerably lighter her the time he turned into Elm street. Kia heart was beating hard when he reached -theeomfoitaole home of the Dulons. Ho rang the bell, and stood waiting, the letter 'in his hand. Ho could hear the light, familiar step he had learned to know and listen for coming along the hail w.thin, and suddenly the door had swung back, and she was standing there, fair nml rinlinnt in hrr crisp white gown, her slim, erect young figure cleany cut as a cameo against the soft green gloom of the interior. "Good afternoon, Miss Nora!" He snatched off his cap, and stood looking down upon her. "A letter for you this time." "For me?" she laughed, and held out her hand. "I don't get many lett e r . " Jim did not offer to go at once. Instead he stood in the same attitude. his keen grey eyes striving to read her thoughts—her every motion. He was conscious of a sharp tightening in his throat at sight of the blusn that wavered instantly over her soft cheeks at. sight of the superscription. "Oh," she said in a low voice—her tone surprised but comprehensive. "Oh." she put the missive hastily in her pocket. He fancied some embarassment lingered in her blue eyes—ordinarily frank as a child's as she— glanced up at him. "You look dreadfully warm!" she ••xclaimed. "It is a hot day, isn't it? Won't you wait a moment until I bring you a glass of lemonade? Mamma and I were just drinking some." She vanished before he could refuse, and was quickly back, a goblet v containing an ice-tinkling beverage in her hand. "Thank you," he said, and drank it as well as,he could for that dreadful constriction in his throat. Then he had returned the glass, bowed, and was gone. Ah, with what a heavy heart, with what leaden footsteps was tha rest of his route covered that radiant summer day! How cou.d he know that a disappointed little face with puckerid jiows, was gazing after him with eyes grown suddenly misty and mystified, lie had not acted like himself at all! What was the matter with him? She had thought—she had fancied— There was no mail for the Dillon household the nest uay—nor still the next. So Jim had no excuse for stopping. But on the evening of the second day he found himself driven to Elm street. At least he could look at the house which held her. He might even muster up courage to ask her to go to the contemplated ptcnlc at Garfield Park with him. He had been made welcome in their home. More than once Mrs. Dil'^n had permitted her daughter to go out with him. He nad every right to invite her. Just because Bertram Ryder had written her a letter, and that «ho had colored confusedly at sight of it. was no reason why she would consider his attentions welcome. A soft, warm, dark, rainy right it was. Kennedy, about to cross over totKo 1;; ted home of the Dillons, suddenly stopped—dre»r back into tho shadow of a tree. FOT the door opposite had opened, and two people were distinctly revealed in tpo lighted vestibule. *«*P#fiis*p* _ He recognized Nora. And thai man witn spare form, and slightly stooping f-boulders—of course that was Bertram Ryder. { \ Ki could hear the dear voice of the T h e S h e e t S t e e j Workers and The girl speaking with cordiality. "Don't you worry, Bert!" she was faying. MYou can trust me to arrange affairs so that no one will suspect. What's that? I'm an angel? Oh, no, I'm not'* There was a Tipple of laughter. "Good-bye.

When a \ young man, he was engaged as tutor in j a private family. His young lady pupils resented his strictness, and* the j mother foolishly took sides with her daughters. In petty spite when company was invited to the house young | Chalmers \v± s shut out from the table, i and dinner was sent to ITfs"room: — ! He made no protest against the treatment, but when it was attempted again he told the servant he had ordered a dinner at a neighboring town and • should need nothing. When this had been done a few times, an explosion THE ONION THRIPS. * ' "Wait* Blast" I s Its W o r k - W a a l * Oil Soap the Remedy. -The onion thrips (Thrips tabaci) has been found to extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. The effect of thli insect upon the onion Is known a s the "white blast," from the fact that the tops are prematurely whitened and become wrinkled and shriveled. The rasping of th» leaves lg done by Much Blender mouth parts and the insect 1» so small t^at the Injury has more the appearance of a fungus or bacterial disease than of insect work. Recent investigations have shown that the itfSect passes the winter months in matted grass, among old weeds and other rubbish as well a s " among cull onions and refuse that have been left over in the fields in the fall. Onion growers are famHiar with the fact that the depredations of this insect appear earliest and are the most emphasized along the margins of fields or plots or in spots over the fields. The reason for this is that the insect winters over in these places. I t makea4ta s^aKSs? ^ i PLAIN Ft ELD. Many of the young people around here spent the glorious 4th at North Lake. H.

It winters over in the piles of culled onions and refuse In the fields and begins Its work there, spreading from thence outward. Wherever the grass and Aveeds along ditches can be rooted up and destroyed it prevents the harboring of this pest. Wherever the old, dry grasses and weeds along the margins of onion plantations can be burned the effect will be to destroy myriads of the pest and to prevent their breeding the next season. With frequent drenching rains there is not much likelihood of a severe outbreak, but in case of drougbt-tbe-insect is likely to work more or less serious Injury in extensive onion fields. A epray of one pound of whale oil soap dissolved in eight gallons of water will destroy the pest, and the use of this mixture is recommended on the first appearance of the insects in the fields. At time of first appearance 5t will probably only be necessary to treat very small areas along the margins of fields or the small.

V>t« ReflnetuentH of H f e . $fc>w "or the elegances and the refinements and the decorations of life f e a s t my vote. While I am consider- {tpg this subject a basket of flowers is led in—flowers paradisiacal in ir beauty. White calla With a green jround of begonia. A cluster of <Ae1k>tropes nestling in some geranium. Sepal and perianth bearing on them tfio marks of God's finger. When I see that basket of flowers, they persuade mft that God loves beauty and adorn- - stent and decoration. God might have onade the earth so as to supply the .'gross demands of sense, but left it without adornment or attraction. In- 4#Ead of tne variegated colors of the -^asons the earth might have worn an tuichanglng dull brown. The tree n i g h t have put forth its fruit without >iif prophecy of leaf or blossom. Niagara might have come down in gradual descent without thunder and winged Look out of your window any morntri* after there has been a dew and see ^Aether God loves Jewels. Put a crystal tfF&ncw under a microscope and see w^at God thinks of architecture. God • ooaaflnanded the priest of olden time to fcave his robe adorned with a wreath ot gold and the hem of his garment to l>e embroidered in pomegranates. The '•C&Tth sleeps, and God blankets it with t i e brilliants of the night sky. The 'World wakes, and God washes it from *&« burnished laver of the sunrise. So t nave not much patience with a man W-bo talks as though decoration and .adornment and the elegances cf life are m sin when they are divinely rcoom- • mended. But there is a line to bo <4rawn between adornment and decorartgona that we can afford and those we 'dan&ot afford, and when a man crosses tbp line ho becomes culpable. I cannot Sft you what la extravagant for you fro* cannot tell . mc what is 4adravA£&nt tor n:?. What Is his means he is extravagant. Venttn? Oae'i ODUg»tlonik Of course sometimes men are flung of misfortunes and they cannot pay. I know men who are just as honest in having failed as other men are honest in succeeding. I suppoee there is hardly a man who has gone through life but there have been some times when he has been so hurt of misfortune he could not meet his obligations, but all that I put aside. There are a multitude o|j?eople who buy that which they never intend to pay for, for wnich there is no reasonable expectation they will ever be able to pay. Now, if you have become oblivious of honesty and mean to defraud, why not save the merchant as much as you can? Why not go some day to his store and when nobody is looking just shoulder a ham or the sparelb and in modest silence steal away? That would be less criminal, because in the other way you take not only the man's goods, but you ta^e the time of the merchant and the time of his accountant, and you take the time of the messenger who brought you the goods. Now, if you must steal, steaV in -a-way-^to-do as little damage to the trader as possible. John Randolph arose in the American senate when a question of national finance was being discussed, and, stretching himself to his full height, <n a shriil voice he cried out, "Mr. Chairman, I have discovered the philosopher's stone, which turns everything into gold—pay as you go!" Society has got to be reconstructed on this subject or the seasons of defalcation will continue to repeat themselves. ch eren the most honest and Intel- You have no right to ride In a carriage men could not-have ;7for«*e«n.4-for__w^ichj£^^ hopelessly in debt to the wheelwright who ^ufnisfled thelandau,__ and to the horse dealer who provided the blooded span, and to the harness maker who caprisoned the gay steeds, and to the liveryman who has provided the stabling, and to the driver, who, with rosetted hat, sits on the coach box. Oh, I am so glad it is not the abso- .lute_necessitles of life which send people out into dishonesties anoTTitHg"" them into misfortunes. It is almost always the superfluities. God has promised us a house, but not a palace; raiment, but not chinchilla; food, but not canvasback duck. I am yet to see o^e of these great defalcations which is not connected in some way with extravagance. Extravagance accounts for the disturbance of national finances. Aggregations are made up of units, and when one-half of the people of this country owe the other half how-can we expect financial prosperity? Again and again at tiie national election we have had a spasm of virtue, and we said, "Out with one administration and in with another and let us have a new deal of things and then we will gel over our perturbation." I do not care who is president or who is secretary of the treasury or how much breadstuffs go out of the country or how much gold is imported until we learn to pay our debts and it becomes a general theory in this country that men must buy no more than they can pay for. Until that time comes there will be no permanent prosperity. Look at the pernicious extravagance. TaKe the one fact that New York every year pays §3,000,000 for theatrical amusements. While once in a while a Henry Irving or an Edwin Booth or a Joseph Jefferson thrills a great audience with tragedy, you know as well as 1 do, that the va3t majority of the theaters are as debased as debased they can be, as unclean as unclean they can be and as damnable as damnable they can be. Three million dollars, the vast majority of those dollars going in the wrong direction. U a r m i i l an I C»nece»s»r7 Etpnn«e. Over a hundred millions paid in this country fcr cigars and tobacco a year. About $2,000,000,000 paid for strong drink in one year in this country. With such extravagance, pernicious extravagance, can there be any permanent prosperity? Business men, cool headed business men, is such a thing a possibility? These extravagances a so account, as I have already hinted, for the positive crimes, the forgeries, the abscendingsof the officers of the banks. The store on the business street swamped by the residenes on the fashionable avenue. The father's, the husband's craft capsized by carrying too much domestic sail. That is what springs the leak in the merchant's money till. That is what crack3 the pistols cf the suicides. That is what tears down the banks. That is what stops insurance companies. That is what ha!ts tbi3 nation aga'n and aga'n in its triumphal march of prosperity. In the presence of the American people so far as I can get their attention I want to arraign thi3 monster curB2 of extravagance, and 1 want you to pelt it with your scorn and hurl at It your anathema. How many fortunes tjvery year the tears away with a $150 pocket handkerchief! I show you a domestic tragedy in five acts: Act the first—A home, plain and beautiful. Enter neatly married pair. Enter contentment Enter as much happiness'as ever gets in one home. ~ Act the second—Enter discontent. Enter desire for larger expenditure. Enter envy. Enter jealousy. dreBS-makera, Enter the French milliners. Enter all cosily plate and all great extravagances. Act the fourth—Tiptop of society. Princes and princesses of upper tendom floating in and out Everything on a large and magnificent scale. Enter contempt for other people. * Act tne fifth and hot. Enter the assignee. Enter the sheriff. Enter the creditors, Enter humiliation. Enter the wrath of God. Enter the contempt of society. Enter ruin and death. Now drop the curtaiu.' The play is ended and the lights are out. I called it a tragedy. That la a misnomer. It Is a farce. Pro* dln« for One'* Own. I know it cuts close. I did not know but some of-you in high dudgaon would get up and go out. You stand it well! Some of you nrake a great swash in life, and after awhile you will die, and ministers will be sent for to come and stand by your coffin and He about your excellences. But they will npt come. If you sand for me, I will tell you what my text will be: "He that provideth not for his own, and especially for those of his own household, is wo*se than an infidel." And yet we And Christian men, men of large meani, who sometimes talk eloquently about the Christian church, and about civilization, expending everything on themselves and nothing on the cause of God, and they crack the back of their Palais Royal _gloy_e In try_lng__tp_ hide the one cent they put into the Lord's treasury. What an apportionment! Twenty thousand dollars for ourselves and one cent for God. Ah, my friends, this extravagance accounts for a gr?at deal o' what the cause of Gcd suffers. And the desecration goes on, even to the funeral day. You know very wsll that there are men who die so vent, live stock to foreign countries It ia a matter for satisfaction that dt least ono breed of swine has originated in America. We refer of course to the Poland-China breed of hog*.

It is pre-eminently a lard hog, hut at the same time the staple producer of farm bacon and hams and of a great proportion of all pork products in the market Yet while it is an American breed pure and simple it is known by the complex, perplexing name "Poland-China"! What had Poland to do with its formation? Not a thing that we have been able to discover and China had almost as little. When the breed found Its starting place back in the rich Miami valley of Ohio it Is said that in 1816 John Wallace introduced to tint county three breeding hogs called "Big Chinas." They were bought In Philadelphia and were said to be from China or bred, from Chinese stock. This is the only trace of China we can find In the early history of the breed and facts regarding any Polish blood having beta used are entirely absent so that lt may be taken for granted that no such blood was utilized. It is evident then that our native breed of swine is poorly named for 'while it originated in America neither the Polaks nor the Chinese contributed anything to its success or formation yet receive the credit in its designation. The breed should have been called the "Miami County hog," or possibly the "Warren County hog," as lt was once called. year profits,; from two women £200,000. This was the way it cam* about Two ranchers in the Verde valley located the property. They sold out for $10,000 to William Murray and former Gov. Trittle ot Arizona. One of the .ranchers promptly proceeded to drink himself into delirium tremens with his share of the money. Murray and Trittle induced two New York women of independent fortune to back them to the extent of $200,069 in the development of the mine. This money « a t n a a r l y *11 gpanfr *qfl t^e^JgOSpeCtS were blue when the miners struck a pocket of silver ore that paid $80-,000. Murray died and Trittle failed to get any more profit out of the nrin«. it was abandoned for several years. Clark with his foreman came down from Montana looking for mining property. They saw the Verde, like* it, went to New York, found the women only too glad to sell their stock for its face* value and got possession. Clark proceeded to develop the mine scientifically and soon found that he was "riuht on the ore chute," as miners say. Then ha built a hundred-ton smelter and set about taking out the ore that has made him the copper king of the world. There are about 3,000 shares of stock in the mining company and Ssnator Clark owns them all. ; * -but-the expense* *re-so great_hsfsre ^ ^ ^ coaraer than those of the pres-' h a V e h e a T d o f they get underground they are insolvent.

And then look how the causa of God is impoverished. Men give so much sometimes for their indulgences they have nothing for the cause of God and religion. Twenty-two million dollars expended ln~~this country a year for religious purposes! But what are the twenty-two millions expended for religion compared with the hundred millions expended on cigars and tobacco and then two thousand millions of dollars spent for rum? So a man who had a fortune of $750,000 or what amounted to that, in London spent it all in indulgences, chiefly in gluttonies, and sent hither and yon for all the delicacies and often had a meal that would cost $100 or $200 for himself. Then he was reduced to a guinea, with which he bought a rare bird, had it cooked in best style, ate it, took two hours for digestion, walked out on Westminster bridge and jumped in'o the Thames—on a large scale what men are doing on a small scale. Oh, my friends, let us take our stand against the extravagances of society. Do not pay for things that are frivoous when you may lack the necessities. Do not put one month's wages or salary into a trinket, just one trinket. Keep your credit good by seldom asking fcr any. Pay! ©o not starve a whole year to afford one Belshazzar's carnival- Do not buy a coat of many colors and then in teix months be out at the elbows.

Though the name will | "Are you still using Dodd's_Kidaey remain the same and has since we can Pills?" was asked. remember it, the breed itself has changed and will continue to change in some slight respects as the result of continued breeding towards a desired standard. The first specimens of the; breed we can call to mind were ent day and had more white spots up on them, in fact some of them showed about as much white as black as may easily be seen by referring to some of the old cuts of Poland-China swine such for instance as those published by A. C. Moore of Canton, 111., and other early and extensive breeders.' It would seem to us too that the hogs have grown shorter and blocker, a fact that cannot altogether be considered an improvement except far lard production; it certainly has not made the breed more prolific in breeding— indeed lt must we think be confessed that the bread is less prolific now than twenty years or more ago. It has much improved in head and ear being neater and finer and this may also be said of the bones which are less In bulk and; possibly stronger in texture than when "ail corn" was the prevailing method of feeding. In capacity for lard production this breed, has taken the lead of all competitors and "No, I stopped the use of the Pills some tim« ago, and have not had the slightest return of my old trouble.

A bright, beautiful mornias. with a gentle breeze sweeping down ths fragrance of flower and shrub from the mountain slope, Ulin had eaten tnr breakfast, and, wltn Albla by her side, •at" upon an open window, gazing out upon the park «»f fountains. As she thus sat, the save woman Calypso entered the apartment and announced that the robber wished to seo ths Lady -.-Iran. • - "What TolDberr" asked the princess. "The same oae that came yesterday/' Ulla dia not stop to think wh'ther tire visit would be pleasant or otherwise. The man had signified his purpose, and as he was master in the palace, she had no idea of opposing him. Calypso withdrew, and presently afterwards tho robber entered, ^ie cam3 in with the same noble step and bsar- Ing; tbe same pleasant, genial face; and with the same look and salute of reverence and respect. "I trust that the Lady Ulin his passed * quiet night," he said, in deep sincerity. "I have rested well, eir," she replied. "Good. I am glad of that. I feared you might have bad dreams." "Not many,- sir." "•Ah—and did you have any such?" "Not—not many." "Ycu dreamt that Julian was a demon, eh?" "No, no, sir—my dreams were not of him." "r hope, sweet lady, that you dreamed not darkly of me." ''No, sir. It was of—" —Th o "nrattfen troubled;-but heii visitor came to hsr assistance. "Nf-ver mind, lady, I meant not to inquire into tho secret twinings ol your mind. I only hoped that I had not been unfortunate enough to excite the apprehension of your slumbering fancies." He sml'ed as he spoke, at the samo time moving a step nearer, and then adding^ "I am glad you have not suffered from r - r coming; for I have the more courage to ask you if you will see JuUan." "You said you would accompany him, sir." "Yes." "Then I may as well see Mm at on> time as another. You may inform h m that the lady Ulln rests her safety and honor in his manhood." "He has been so informed, fair lady." ' "Then, let him come." "Gentle lady, pardon me If I have led you upon a fanciful way o' thought, r am Julian. I am he whom men call the Seourga of Dimascus And now I crave your indulgence; mU still I shall bow most humbly to your commands. At your word I l a v e th s apartment; yet, I should like to speak a l l t t e further. I should like to explain more fully why I am here." Wa3 Ulin frightened? Not at all. She was startled when she first know that the man bafore her was tha dreadful Scourge of whom she had heard so much; but it was an emotion of astonishment. At first she could hardly believe that she had heard the tru:h. "You—Julian?" she murmured, gazing into his face. "Aye, lady." And th-n ho. add-d with a smile, "I suppose you expected to find me black and ugly, like t i n foul genii whom Solomon imprisoned in the sea. Am I right?" "I did not .think you were Julian," the maiden said, after some hesitation. As she spoke she seemed to gain new confidence and composure; a d r r s~ ently she added, "T had heard so much of your terrible deeds, that. I' expected to find a—" "A monster," suggested Julian, helping her out. "Not exactly that," returned Ul'.n. with a smile.^ "though I am free to confess that I shou'd not have been so much surprised as I have been, if I had seen a worse looking man." "Thank you," cried the robber laughing. "I shall take that as a compliment, and lay it up among the mosi precious of my recollections. I understand you; so, upon this point, I need only assure you that I am Jul an, and that I must own the somewhat dubious title which has been bestowed upon me. And now, lady, may I sit hers for a few moments, and speak with you further?" The very thing lilin had been upon the point of suggesting. She did not like to see him standing before her; nor was she anxious that "he shouM leave her. She had a strong curiosity to hear him speak furthsr. There was somsthing in the apatarance of tha youthful adventurer that dsapty interested her. She bade him be ssat.d, and then, without intending to be heard, she murmured: "So young!" "Aye, lady," he said, catching the whispered words. "I am y o u n g - younger, perhaps, than I look. Only three-and-twenty years have cast their, shadows upon me. At that ags the youth of the city Just breaking from the bonds of parental r e s t r a i n t s .as a child; but with me it has been differe n t A parent I never knew,__A kind, generous woman, who was my nursa, took the place of a mother during my earliest childhood; and a white-haired old man, who lived apart from the world, gave me my first lessons oi life, and led me up till t could protec: myself. A father's fostering care I never knew. A mother's love I never realized. The cruel blow which shattered the cup -of my Joys, killed my poor mother ero my tongue could Usp her name. As I grew to manhood I knew that I was an orphan, and that my misfortune was the work of ths King of Damascus. 0! how the iron settled into my soul. I had grown strong and resolute, a3 though heaven would enable me to work retribution upon the tyrant. Do you ask me if I enjoy the life I have led. I answer— I have made enjoyments for myself. I have felt a peculiar satisfaction in knowing that the king feared me. When I have heard my nam? spoken by the rich and powerful with fear and trembling, I have liked it; and when I have known that Horam dreaded my approach, I have fe't that my labors were not without their resul". But these have not been my joys. In Damascus the name of Julian Is a ter ror; but there are other places, w_harj? that name is spoken with lov-> and -gratitude. Upon the piains of Ab'lene, and in the ^mountain passes of L ban on, where the busy craftsmen prepare timber for Jenralsm—there Julian Is hailed as a frjend and benefactor. The grim satisfaction of torturing the critel King of Darasscus is tempered and softened by the calmer atmosphere of these friendly regions." Why did Ulin sft so sti'.l and listen with such rapt attention to the words of the speaker? She bent her head as though soft music were stealing o'er her senses; and she gazed upon the man before her as though a grand, inspiring picture had been unfolded to her vision. His words cavrl d truth in their very sound, and all her sympathies had been aroused. She was a woman whose nature . had not been warped by art; and the av?nues to her --on! were guarded only by the pure instincts of virtue and humanity. Not always the safest guard; but still the happiest when surrounding influences are net evil. ."•And now, lady," pursued Julian, "I must tell you why I am here; and in doing this I speak only those wo-ds necessary to the truth. On my way from the plains I met a messenger, who informed me that a fair maiden h.ad been shut up in the Palace of the Valley. I could not believe that a beautiful young virgin had willingly given herself to the desires of Horam. I thought she had been shut up thus against her own pleasure. With th's belief I resolved to release her. The result you know. I have heard your story from the lips of the black slave who attends upon you, and she informs me that you are affianced to the king by your own consent, and wkhout any desires on your part to the contrary. Is it so?" "The slave told you truly, s.r," replied Ulin, bowing her head, and speaking in a very lew tone. "And you came here to this p a c e of your own free will?" "Yes, sir. My period of mourning was not parsed, and the king brought me hither that I might be more retired." "And but for the death of your mother you would have been tha king's wife e^o this?" Ulin replied in the affirmative; but her voice trembled, and she seemed to shudder'at the thought thus presmt^d. "Lady," said Julian, showing som-> emotion, which he evidently did not mean to show, "for my seeming wro-.ie: I mept humbly beg your pardon. I hed thought to wrest from the grasp of the king one who was an unwilling captive: but since I find myself mistaken I will do a'l I can to make amends. A "And," said the robber, rising to his feet, "It is better that I should leave you at once." He stopped, and swept his hand across his brow, and when he resumed; his speech was very low, and his voice tremulous: "This has been a most strange adventure; and as I now look upon St, it seems as though some mischievous sprits had planned It As I live I thought when I came hither but auch i»'!~h*re teW you ofv -* hive met you.! lady, and for the first time in my life I have felt my heart drawn warm y towards my native city.

In this moment of our etrange companionship, may I not take you by the hand?" She could not have refused had she Art Yon Wing AM*?* F<**-KjMef ( I t is t h e onl7 oure for Swollen.

Olrasied, L* Roy, N. Y. wished; but that she had no wish so to do was evident from the free and friendly manner In which she arose to meet him. She gave him her hand, and suffered him to raise it to his lips. "Dear lady, should we never meet again, I trust that you will b:ar one kindly thought of Julian. If you are forced to think of the wrongs he has done, let a memory of the wrong3 he has suffered be some extenuaJon. Bless you, lady! 'All good spirits guard and protect you; and peace be thine forevermore! Farewell!" He turned and was gone. Ulin felt a warm spot upon her hand—a drop of moisture—a tear! She gazed upon It, and knew that it came not from her eye. It fell there with the kiss. A strange tribute from the Scourge of Damascus! "Albia, I think I shall never see that man again; but I shall remember him with emotions far removed from fear or terror." "You will remember him as little as possible, my mistress," said the slave girl, taking a seat close by Ulin's 3ide, and resting her hand upon her arm. "What mean you, Albla? Why should my memory be narrowed or shortened?" "Because you are to have a husband who will demand your every thought and feeling. Horam is deeply versed in all the secrets of the female h:art, and his eyes will not sleep while you have a thought which he does not understand." ^'Indeed, Albla," cried the princess, with a look of amazement, "you m sunderstand me." "If such be the case," replied the -girJ^ ve?y qutetly, iyou-wiH-forgive me for what I have said; and of Julian we_will.think_.no more." Ah—was it se? Had Ulin been misur. derstcod? Had the keen-ey,d Aibia been mistaken? Would there be no more thought of Julian? The day passed away, and towards evening Aswad returned from the mountains. He said he had not fled from fear of the robbers; but that, when h saw that defeat was inevitable, he had sought safety from capture so that he might communicate with Damascus. Perhaps he old the truth. At all events; he resumed his command, and once more posted his guards about the valley; and then came to assure the princess that she was safe. It was in the evening, just as the last gleams of day were fading out, and before the lamps had been lighted —at that season when the thoughts are most apt to wander and Strangj ..ancies visit the mind. • • * It was not to be that U'in should spend the alloted time at the Palacj of the Valley. The king had heard oJ the attack of Julian, and he came with a large army to bear the princ.ssj away from a place which was nc longer safe. He was somewhat surprised when he found that the Scourge of Damascus had be^n w.Aun the pulace, and had withdrawn again; a \c when he had heard the story frcn; Calypso, he ordered one half the p.;l r.ce guadsmen to bej executed wiUir the valley. The maiden had heard from Calypso of the bloody deed which had b^os done by the k i n g s ord„r, and when she knew that he wa3 coming, she declared her intention of refusing to S£» him. But Aibia persuaded her \o k different course. "As you value your future welfare,'" plead the bond maiden, "so must yon behave before the king. If you wou.c live in peace, let him have no.occas.oc to mistrust your real feelings. He ifc coming. Beware!" The warning was most seasonable; and U.in. by obeying it so conducree I herself that Horam thought she onh suffered from the dread ml fright occasioned by tjhe appearance of the terrible Julian. Ho spoke to her words oi cheer and assurance, and announce his purpose of carrying her back tt Damascus. ' W e will rest tonight, sweet love," he said, "and on tho morrow you shah find a safer shelter." Ulin gazed upon the wrinkled face, and upon the quaking limbs, and upoiA the sparse gray hairs; and she cou n not repress a shudder. She looked upon the thin, hard hands of the moairch. and they seemed covered wit* blood. She watched him as he departed with her father; and when he had crone she sank down, and leaned h«v head upon Albia's besom. "O," she murmured, "I fear that 1 have^undertaken more than I can accomplish. T cannot be that man's wife! I never knew him until now. Ha will kill me!" "Peace!" whispered the bondmaiden. But she whispered in vain. (To be Continued.)

It requires a rich soil. a half bushel of seed per acre being the right quantity to sow. Stiff clay and wet so^s are not so good for buck- f, wheat. We could not say whether it can be made a profitable crop or not. This is a matter that has to be regulated by market conditions and demands. It makes excellent bee pasture, but the period for collecting is short, and in order to get the most good out of it succeeding crops should be grown —that Is, sowing some buckwheat every week through the season beginning early in the spring. If wanted solely for bees, it can be plowed ua'der when the blossoms have been used and again put to buckwheat.

In a corner of Scotland where tourists do not often go is a little stream which is mild and gentle enough in midsummer, but which heavy rain or melting snow turns into a raging toreut. Across the stream is an arched stoue footbridge, and into the keystone of the arch are cut the three words, "God and Me;" The'story is that a young girl once tried to cross fhe stream when the water was high, and was in danger of .drowning.

If Kaffir corn, which has been such a good yielder and drought reSlster, should be excluded from the ration of the dairy cow, many farmers in central and western Kansas would be Obliged to quit the dairy business. The Kansas experiment station has fed the grain and fodder of Kaffir corn for months at a time and'.has never experienced a particle of trouble from its producing a poor quality of butter. During the months of February and March, 1SUS, the station herd was fed almost exclusively on Kaffir cornmeal for the grain ration. The butter was tested by competent judges and pronounced excellent in quality. Since this time both the grain and the fodder of KathV corn have been used as the whole or part of the ration, the milk being sent to the Manhattan crenciery, where it has been saved to use in the making of starters. The milk has also been used each year at the dairy school both with and without milk from other sources. It has been specially sorght for by our cheese boys in their effort to make a first class quality of cheese, and in no instance have w e beard a single complaint from the use of the college milk on account of the cows being fed on Kaffir corn. When the season is a poor one for the curing of the crop and the grain has been left on the fodder, considera* ble penetrating dust arises from the crop when handled at feeding time. If the feeding is done just before or at milking time, particles of this dust, with nil the germs that they carry with them, will undoubtedly llud their way to the milk pail and may ci.v.sz a poor quality of butter. This points to the necessity of feeding after rather than before milking. In this way Kaffir corn, properly balanced, is one. of our best feeds for a dairy cow and should be grown extensively where corn is uncertain. gTATJS OF MICHIGAN, Coua^ of Livlngitoa, At a iwssion of the Probate Court for Bald County, held at the Probata OQloe in tlie Village of Howell, on Wednesday t&e 3rd day of July, la tbe year one thou aud time hundred and one.

Hitherto many such writers have expressed great doubt about these cases, for the process {s by no means so easy of use as people Ihink.

While the workers have 12,000 facets to their eyes, the drones are gifted with cense employed by novelists w h e n they straight to the cells, plunge their heads describe "fancy" cases In then* books. One reads, for instance, of a man in a railway carriage waving a handkerchief before the face of a fellow traveler and producing instantaneous unconsciousness. This Is absolutely Impossible. Another imaginative w^tt h ^ r u i t ^ h o u l d b e j e l r recently described a murder carried out by pushing a towel saturated with a powerful aiiaesthetic under the bedroom door of bis sleeping victim. This also is nonsense. In another tale the more feasible plan Is carried out of entering the sleeping man's chamber, pouring the anaesthetic on the bed. the murderer standing by and watching his victim die.

Bullfighter* Afraid or Cows. It will probably not surprise our readers to hear that most Spanish bullfighters object to fighting cows. The real reason may, however, astonish them. A sportsmanlike objection to persecuting a female animal has nothing whatever to do with it. The fact is that the average toreador is sincerely afraid of a cow. And he has good reason. The cows of the half wild breed used for the arena are much quicker in their movements than are the bulls. Their horns are more pointed and more formidable. They do not lower their heads to the ground, shut their eyes and charge like tienr on whom an operation has to be a locomotive upon the rails, but are perfowned to chloroform him while asleep and' save him the horror which so many people have of the inhalation, and they sum np the results, showing that very rarely can chloroform be administered to a sleeping person without awakening him. Grown people are. alert and ready to follow every movement of their persecutors. Their warlike tactics have been adapted not to blind, bovine frontal attacks, but to the strategy of active and cunning beasts of prey, of which the human bullfighter i s o n l y a feeble mimic. If these cheap ^ith^he-rarestexception^awakenedby} idols of the Spanish populate would the irritating fumes. If a man were I face young and active wild cows which tired and if his nose were naturally in sensitive to unpleasant odors, and especially if he were under the influence of drink, it might be possible to make him unconscious while asleep.

As a matter of fact, the only way to render a person unconscious by the use of chloroform Is in the way practiced by surgeons in the operating room. And this is by no mean* an easy task. There are several ways of dulug i t -The chloroform may be dropped ou a handkerchief, which is then held over the face at some little distance, or it may be dropped.on a sponge, or it may be used In one of the innumerable machines Invented for the purpose. But the vapor must be mixed witb air before it is breathed. That Is the reason the hand-1 kerchief or the sponge is held some j Inches from the face. As a rule At \ takes from five to eight minutes to make the person unconscious, and dur- j ing this time he generally struggles; very violently. It is probable that many of the charges of chloroforming which have been made are false. Sometimes the pretended victim asserts that he has become unconscious immediately. But it bas been shown in evidence that the time necessary to bring about this result is at least four or five minutes. Sometimes he says he could not cry o u t yet he describes all the circum* stances of the administration minutely. Now, the first effect of the chloroform is to produce confusion of the mind, while, on the other band, the patient can cry out almost up to the last. H e becomes mentally' confused before he loses the power of speech. These few facts are sufficient perhaps to demonstrate that some charges of possible chloroforming are necessarily nntrue.—London Mall. A Little Drama.

Peter Smith, aged 3." yearn, a respected farmer of Rainbridge township, and a tenant ou the- farm of F r e d Baker, near Sister Lakes, w a s shot and killed T h u r s d a y while engaged In church, and .does not tend bar; al- [ cutting w h e a t ou the J a c o b W i n n farm, a mile and a half from hisThome. The first known of t h e m u r d e r by others in the Mold was the discharge- of the gun, the man having secreted himself behind a shock of grain. T h e report was heard, the sight of the smoke was noted and the nearness to Smith created a suspicion thatt murder had been committed. ShiTtirwns Rtmrk-rn the back and the ball passed under the shoulder. H e lived but three hours. Behind the shooting of Smith there Is some great secret, so the neighbors, •who are In a position to know, declare. For years Smith and the man who Is believed to have killed him have been the bitterest enemies. Nothing w a s too mean for either to do if it would bring inconvenience to the other. Before they were enemies the men w e r e bosom friends, t h e neighbors ssert. Xo oue seems t o kuow w h a t caused the r u p t u r e In their relations. It i s a fact worth bearing in mind t h a t whenever Hews is scarce in Washington the correspondents a r e sure t o set afloat one or two rumors; t h a t an extraordinary session of Congress is to be called, o r t h a t some member of the cabinet is about t o retire. Matter for a second dispatch is furnished by a denial of the rumor. A knowledge of t h i s device will enable readers to estim a t e the probable truth of these rumors when they first make their appearance. A Maryland judge has judicially affirmed one of woman's rights, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. If a woman finds her husband loitering ~afounbTtEe streets, she has^ a right to order him home, where his presence is wanted, and to push, shove or otherwise use so much force a s is necessary to make him obey. This is an especially indisputable right, according to t h e learned court of Hageratown, Md., where the loitering husband is found in company with another woman. The author of "The Kidnapped Millionaires," the latest novel t o attract gerieral attention, is Frederick Upaam Adams, an inventor of some note. He recently built a railroad train which shattered all records from a mile t o one hundred miles. It was built t o avoid atmospheric resistance, and was popularly known as the "cigar-shaped t r a i n " or the "wind-splitter." Between Washington and Baltimore this train of seven cars attained the remakable speed of 103 miles an hour. Wayne County Taxes. City Assessor Louis Smith, of Sagtnaw, was in Detroit for a short time Tuesday. Smith, with the assessor.* of Kalamazoo, have been hired by the state tax commission to investigate the assessments of W a y n e county, t h e purpose being to show t h a t assessments here are low. Ex-Tax Commissioner Oakman made the following comment on this move: "It might be well for some of the heavier taxpayers of Detroit to ask the -s-tnte tax eooHub*s4ento appoint- t h e city assessors of Detroit to Investigate the assessments l)f mines in the upper peninsula and to sen imw the figure* in .other Michigan cities a r e placed. That would relieve the tax commissioners of all responsibility." The city assessors have set ten of their men a t work to take the figures at which recent sales of real estate in this city were made, in order t h a t it may be shown that Detroit property la assessed at almost market value. Five vears ago the total equalization was fixed at $140 242 308 nnd this vear the amount is $2H2.421.0i:>. a .lump or something more than $8(1000.000. T h e equalized valuation of the townships ami tbe city of Wyandotte is onlv $.'i4,- 022,215. •••'••" T h a Crop *rost»«t« ~ - -Secretary oX State W a r n e r report* t h a t the w h e a t crop of Michigan this year will be very poor, the crop having continued to fail during t h e p a s t mouth, many fields that, promised weil in tho early part of the season, having been plowed u p or pastured.

I have been so discontented lately that any change .will be welcome. And has not Shakespeare said: My crown is In my heart, not on my liend; Not deck'd with diamonds and Indian stones, Nor to be seen— rny crown is call'd con- ««»nt: A crown it Is t h a t seldom kings enjoy. So I am going to be contented and wear my unseen crown upon my heart, knowing that few kings enjoy a like privilege. X.

What Destiny has chosen for me in the shape of Tom is a handsome, well-groomed, ordinary business man, devoted to the manufacture of silver-plated tableware. The Creighton knives and spoons and forks are the best in the market, a3 Tom is certainly the very dearest fellow in the world, even though I say I should not have selecteu him for a brother if I were ordering one. Nor would I have chosen Orton as a place of residence, preferring rather to reside at Cambridge with my presidential brother. Orton is a mass of factory chimneys which spell out the word commerce every day in the week except Sunday. I have never seen Cambridge, but 1 imagine It a cloistered, ivy-clad colony of ancient buildings faithfully guarding all the traditions of culture. And so here is the problem which Destiny has set me, and which I can solve only by putting my invisible crown firmly on my heart Orton has one salient advantage; being given over -to commerce. It is commercially situated; it is a seaport town. There is a distinct profit for a person who loves sunsets and moon-rises; for a bit out of the town where the factories have not yet penetrated there Is a superb stretch between the salt meadows and the sea. row and loss of all those who were less explained at the postothVo department fortunate than I, but who would never i tbat it is not the Intentim to refuse know It, and the lust for gold seemed' f.oco'1(1 ^** V^A T0 ^ ^ 1 1 5 1 1 ^ 1m b * t•o„ wwrriiftoe iUtsOeQIlfP aolill Oov„e0 ,r. .*thHe0 askwy 1In* fthhoecsoe l'.catious. 1 lioy. have not constituted a flickering flames, and to cry down the glorious wonder of the great sun burden upon the postal facilities of the country.

In an instant the air was filled with cries and screams; cars were smashed into splinters, while several rolled down the huge embankment.

Ever and anon there has been Jtn epidemic of crime in high places, .rand there is not a state or city and :'tartly a village which haa not been ~ called -to look upon astounding for- ©r an absconding bank cashier or lident or "the wasting of trust fund • or swindling mortgages.

Now .lock abroad and see the fascinations that are thrown around different styles of crime. The question that *«eery man and woman has been asked "•has been, Should crime be excused be- « cause it is on a large scale? Is iniquity • eattty and to be pursued of the law in -proportion as it is on a small scale? ^Shall we have the penitentiary for < the man who steals an overcoat from • aVhatrack and all Canada for a man to range in if he have robbed the public «of millions? The Way to Gat Mount. There has been an irresistible im- : presslou going abroad among young * ~ asaa'that the poorest way to get monty f i s to earn it. The young man of flaunti fag cravat says to the young man of Vbunble appearance: "What, yon only 91,800 a year? Why, that wouldn't me in pin money. I spend $5,000 a. *ear." "Where do you get it?" asks the plain young r.an. "Oh, stocks, cn- Marprlses—aH that sort of thing, you 'know." The plain young man has < hardly ^enough money to pay his board i and has to wear clotho3 after they are <oat of fashion and deny himself all fexurles. After awhile he gets tired of MB plodding and ho goes to the man •who has^acbie^d suddenly large esther over on the side of his head than he ever did, smokes better cigars and more of them. He has his hand in! Now, if he can escape the penitentiary for three or four years he will get into political circles and he will get political jobs and will have something to do with harbors and pavements and docks. Now he has got so far along he is safe for perdition. It is quite a long road sometimes for a man to travel before he gets into the romance of crime. Those are caught who are only in the prosaic stage of it. If the sheriffs and constables would only leave them alone a little while, they would steal as well as anybody. They might not be able to steal a whole railroad, but they could master a load of pig iron. Now, I always thank God when I find an estate like that go to smash. It is plague struck, and it blasts the nation. I thank God when it goes into such a wreck it can never b9 gathered up again. I want it to bscome so loathsome and such an insufferable stench that honest young men will take warning. If God should put into money or its representative the capacity to go to its lawful owner, there would not be a bank or a safety deposit in the United States whose walls would not be blown out and mortgages would rip and parchments would rend and gold would shoot and beggars would get on horseback and stock gamblers would go to the almshouse. -_-_._Tha- Ta m p t« 11 on • -la__DlaJLQfvM ty._ How many dishonesties in the mak^ ing out of invoices and in the plastering of false labels and in the filching of customers of rival houses and in the making and breaking of contracts! Young men are indoctrinated in the idea that the sccner they get money the better, and the getting of it on a larger scale only proves to them their greater ingenuity. There is a glitter thrown around about all these things. Young men have got to find out that God looks upon sin in a very different -ttghfc —— A young man stood behnd a counter in New York selling silks to a lady, and he said before the sale was consummated. "I see there is a flaw in that silk." The lady recognized it, and the sale was not consummated. The head man of the firm saw the interview, and he wrote home to the father of the young man, living in the country, saying: "Dear sir, come and take your boy. He will never make a merchant." The father came down from the country home in great consternation, as any father would, wondering what his son had done. He came into the store, and the merchant said to him, "Why, your son pointed out a flaw in some silk the other day and spoiled the sale and we will never have that lady probably again for a customer, and your son will never make a merchant." "Is that all?" said the father. "I am proud of him. I wouldn't for the world have him another day under your influence. John, get your hat and coat; let us start." There are hundreds of young men under the pressure, under the fascinations thrown around about commercial iniquity. Thousands of young men have gone down under tire pressure; other thousands have maintained their integrity. God help you! Let me say to you, my young friend, that you never can be happy in a prosperity which comes from ill gotten gains. "Oh," you say, "I might lose my place. It is easy for you to stand there and talk, but it is no easy thing to get a place when you have lost it. Besides that, I, have a widowed mother depending upon my exertions, and you must not be too reckless in giving advice to me." Ah, my young friend, it is always safe to do right, but it is never safe to do wrong. You go home and tell your mother the pressure under which you are in /that store, and I know what she will say to you, if she Is worthy of you. She will say: "My son, come out from there. God has taken care of us all these years, and he will take care of us now. Come out of that." MWtua of Traat Fandt. Oh, there is such a fearful fascination in this day about the use of trust funds. It has got to be popular to take the funds of others and speculate with them. There are many who are practicing that iniquity. Almost every man in the course of his life has the property of others put in his care. He has administered, perhaps, for a dead friend; he is an attorney, and money passes from debtor to creditor through his hands; or he is In a commercial establishment and gets a salary for the discharge of hi3 responsibilities; or he is treasurer of^ a philanthropic institution, and money for the suffering goes through his hands; or he has eome office in city or stato or nation, and taxes and subsidies and supplies and salaries are in his hands-. Now, that is a trust That is as cacrcd a trust as God can give a man. It is the concentration of confidence.

Dangers of L.lb*rUnl«m, So there has been a great_ deal of fascination thrown around libertinism. Society is very severe upon tho.impuruy that lurks around the alleys and low haunts of the town. The law pursues it, smites it, incarcerates it, trie3 to destroy it. You know as well as I that society becomes lenient in proportion as impurity becomes affluent or is in elevated circles, and finally society is silent or disposed to palliate. Where is the judge, the jury, the police officer that dare arraign the wealthy libertine? He walks the streets, he rides the parks, he flaunts his iniquity in the eyes of the pure. The hag of uncleanness looks out of the tapestried window. Where is the law that dares take the brazen wretches and put their faces in an iron frame of a state prison window? ~ ~St«ae44m€a4L-Sfiejai_tQ_me as Jf_ so^. ciety were going back to the state of morals of Herculaneura, when it sculptured its vileness on pillars and temple wall and nothing but the lava of a burning mountain could hide the immensity of crime.

It is only within a few years, however, that the question of protecting trade marks has assumed grave Importance. Thi3 Is due to the enormous lncreaso in advertising of health foods, cereals, patent medicines and athletic novelties. The tariff of charges for registering trade marks In the various countries seems in some instances to be based upon the idea that authorized labels and the like are as much a'luxury as a coach and four. In Zululand, Peru, Uraguay, Hong Kong and Granada the tariff fixed by law for each trade mark i3 f 145 in gold, the highest on the entire list. In this country trade marks are filled with the tise the community for these sins, against which he has uttered himself more bitterly than against any other, the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah will be tolerable as compared with the fate of our modern society, which knew better, but did worse. The Sacrrdnett of Life. Then look at the fascinations thrown around assassination. There are in all communities men who have taken the lives of others unlawfully, not as executioners of Jhe law, and they go scot free. You say they had their provocations. God gave life, and he alone has a right to take it, and he may take it by visitation of providence or by an executioner of the law, who is his messenger. But when a man assumes that divine prerogative he touches the lowest depth of crime. Society is alert for certain kinds of murder. If a citizen gding along the [ road at night is waylaid and slain by a robber, we all want the villain ar- ; rested and executed. For all garroting, for all beating out of life by a club or an ax oi;a slungshot, the law has quick spring and heavy stroke, but you know that when men get affluent and high position and they avenge their wrongs by taking the lives of others, great sympathy is excited, lawyers plead, ladies weep, judge halts, jury is bribed and the man goes free. If the verdict happen to be against ^nlm, a new trial is called on through some technicality and they adjourn for witnesses that never come, and adjourn and adjourn until the community has forgotten all about it, and then the prison door* opens and the murderer goes free. Now, if capital punishment be right, I say let the life of the polisnTd" murderer go with the life of the vulga'V assassin. Let us have no partiality of gallows, no aristocracy of electrocution chair. Do not let us float back to barbarism, when every man was his own judge, jury and executioner, and that man had the supremacy who had the sharpest knife and the strongest, arm and the quickest step and the stealthlest revenge. He who willfully and in hatred takes the life of another is a murderer, I care not what the provocation or the circumstances.

Canada charges $60 for a general or special trade mark. There are some couiv.ries of Europe that demand $100 for registering a trade mark, but in Gi'eat Britain, Germany, Austria, France and Spain the fee in each case is $75. This is the rate asked in the majority of the English colonies, including 'New South Wales and New Zealand, but in Cape Colony it is $115 and in South Africa $135. The latter price *i also demanded in Costa Rica. Some of the bargain counter sales in the Leeward islands, Jamaica, British Guiana, Mauritius, Argentine" Republic, Bolivia, Chili, Guatemala, Sierra Leone and Bulgaria, each of which charges $115. Little Venezuela is content with $100 for Ue privilege of recording the existence of a patent label. There are thousands of trade marks that are never heard-of by the great masses, because they are not properly advertised. The majority of trade mark lawyers realize big profits fighting infringements of private marks rather than in registering new ones. One o( them has just settled a case that was in the courts for four years. The single word "favorite" was at issue and the courts have decided that there is no exclusive proprietary right In the word as a trade mark. One of the most successful lawyers, who represents the Interests of a big cereal firm and cracker establishment as well,, says that it costs more than $15,000 annually to protect his clients from those who twist the names of brands in every conceivable way. A T I C K E T ' S L I M I T A T I O N S . Unique Feature of DanUh. Railways Are Fortnightly Ticket*. Denmark was absolutely tho pioneer in ciieap railway farc»3. The fares were reduced all round, so that the longer the distance the greater the reduction, but, at the same time, the return ticket system was abolished fir journeys within Denmark. One of the greatest boons to business men and holiday makers is the so-called fortnightly ticket. For third-class it costs 22s 3d and for second class £ 15s 6d. Such a ticket entitles the holder to travel all over Denmark for a term of fourteen days. He can go wherever he cares to go, and as many times over the same route as he may wish within the time paid for—namely, fourteen days. A holiday maker may visit every place of interest in Denmark during that time and, if he found any pleasure In traveling from town to town night and day for the period he cduTa"~do SOT He pttys-tfae-price Of D A N D A L Y ' S G O L F S T O R Y .

You know it goes on to explain that after you hit the ball you walk a mile, and that if you find it the same day you win. At that point the audience thought the climax had been reached and laughed. The first time I tried to finish the story, hut nobody heard me and I never tried it again. It would have been useless. The story continues that if you don't find the ball the same day you send your man to look for it the next, and if he finds it, he wins.

He can also buy a ticket for a month, and the longer the time tho greater the reduction. While a fortnightly ticket costs 22s 3d, a 12- month ticket costs £10. If the passenger had to ?y*y for a twelve-month ticket at the i* te of 23 3d per fortnight it would cost him £26 14s. Thus the reduction is over 150 per cent. If instead of paying for a fortnightly ticket a traveler went from Esbjerg to Copenhagen and back as often as, he could within fourteen days, an* bought ordinary tickets for each trip, they would cost him over £6, and this amount would be doubled in a fortnight if he went sightseeing from one place to another, traveling all over Denmark in easy stages.

He added that he was glad to see the German associations "active In the same endeavor, take part fraternally in this solemn gathering."

"Anything, sire, that can yield me honor and emolument." replied the Israelite, with a low bow. "Give me the freedom of a citizen, and gird the sword of a lieutenant about my loins, and I will undertake anything. I would not even hesitate to go out, igalnst the Scourge of Damascus." "Ha!

Towards the latter part of the afternoon Judah stripped himself bare tc the skin, and caused one ot the msn tc beat him with, a leathern thong until long livid ridges were raised upon hit shoulders and back. After this he resumed his clothing, and as soon as the shades of evening began to fall, he mounted -a fleet horse, and rode away to the northward towards the plains ol Abilene. He knew that Julian had taken that course, and he hoped tc overtake him before many hours.

So he rode until day had dawned, without seeing or hearing anything worthy of note* But he wa« coming upon something very soon. Just as the sky began to glow with the rich, red glare of the rising sun, he came to a point where a narrow pass between two steep hills opened into a pleasant vale, and just here his horse was stopped by a stout man who advanced, spear in hand, from some trees by the wayside. "Hold!" said the sentinel. "Who are you?" "A wayfarer, as you may sec," replied Judah. "Whither are you traveling?" "To the north."

Scourge of Damascus had robbed him of his beautiful bride, and once he dreamed that his throne had passed from hici. In the morning he was more anxious for the apprehension of the robber than before, and impatiently did he await the coming of the Israelite. At the appointed hour Judah made his appearance and announced that he would undertake the task of delivering up the terrible Scourge. "If I succeed," he said, "you will h«ar from me as soon as success "crowns my efforts. If I fail, you will perhaps never hear from me again." "•And when will you set forth?" asked the king, almost beside himself with hopeful anticipation. "At once, sire. This very day, if I can get ready." "Do you want he'p?" "I would select two of your mo3t trusty guards." "Take as many as you want." "Two will be enough, sire." "Will you take them from those who have been on duty here?" "No, sire. That would not be safe. The robbers might recognize them. I win have two who came with us from Damascus yesterday." '"As'you will, Judah. Select the men you want, and they shall accompany you." The Israelite promised that he would have all hi3 arrangements made bsfore the king was ready to depart, and with this assurance he went away. By the middle of the forenoon the king was ready to set forth on his return to Damascus. Ulin and Albia were placed within a comfortable box upon the back of a stout camel, and aTomnd them were posted a hundred armed men. The remainder of the retinue was arranged under the direction of Aboul Cassem. the king's prime minister, and only the ord?r was needed to set the whole in motion. At this point the king withdrew to the palace, where he found Judah ready to set forth -on his tlangerous mission, and with him were two guards, Osmtr and Selim, two resolute, intelligent fellows, who seemed to love the excitement of the work upon which they were about to enter. The king was pleased with the choloe Judah had made. "I might not have hit upon them," he said; "but 1 know they will sarve you. And now, what more can I do?" "Nothing." replied Judah. "I have all that I can use, and'am ready for the "Work. If I succeed, you will hear from me in good time; and if you never hear from me, you may at least be assured that I failed from no lack of will to serve you." With a few words of encouragement the king left his servant to pursue his own course, and proceeded to Join his army, which was soon in motion; and before the close of another day he arrived-at Damascus, where Ulin was once more suffered to find shelter beneath the roof of her father. Touching her marriage, it was understood that the ceremony should be performed as soon as the period of passed, which would be in two weeks; and until then she was to remain in cloee retirement Horam asked that she might not be suffered to go oat, lor he feared to have her see too much "Just at this present moment I am in most urgent pursuit of something to eat." "Have you money In your purse?" "Enough for present use." "Are you afraid of losing it?" "How?" "By robbers." "Bless you, no. I am rather anxious to see some of these robbers." "You may see them sooner than you would like." "'mat cannot Oe, sir; ror l would like to see them at once." "Ah—what would you with them?" "Never mind. If I am so fortunate as to find them, they shall know." "Perhaps I can find them for you." "I believe ycu can; and, my good sir, if you will conduct me into the presence of Julian, I shall thank you." "Upon my life, you give me credit for wonderful power." "I give you the credit of belonging to Julian's band; and as I am very anxious to see him, I ask you once more, to lead me to him." The man hesitated a moment, and finally said, with a smile breaking over his sunburnt features: "Ycu are free-spoken, and s?em to be honest; and I think I will lead you to the man you seek. But my bold friend, you have need of some fair purpose." "Lead me to Julian, and I will be answerable for the rest." "Very well; you shall not ask again. Dismount, and follow me."

Russia has long prided herself or having the ftrit women physicians The Chautauquan refers to the career of Nadezhda Susloff, one of the earlis: and best women doctors, as particular ly interesting. Born a serf, and freed with her parents at the emancipatior in 1861, she and her brothers and sis ters received the best possible education at hotne and abroad, for her parents were both extremely intelligent and her father acquired wealth after gaining his freedom. Everywhere Ir. Russia and in the continental schoo s Nadezhda was brilliantly successful For thirty years there has been no manner of doubt as to the sympathy o the public and of the medical world with the idea of thorough medical instruction for women. Men started th? movement. In 1870 one professor and two other men undertook to establish courses for instructing women. In ten years there were 959 women students the majority coming from the "privileged classes"—that is to say.nbt peasants. The majority were members of the Russian church, but there were several Jewesses, Roman Catholics and Lutherans. In 1877 twenty-four students were sent to the seat of war. during the Russo-Turkish campaign, and did so well" that they received imperial permission to call themselves after due examination, "women physicians," and to wear a badge." Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1217 Weat 33rd at, Minneapolis, Minn., as follows: "I suffered for years with a pain in the small of my back and right side. It Interfered often with my domestic and social duties and i never supposed that I would be cured, as the doctor's medicine did not seem to help me any. "Fortunately a member of our Order advised me to try Peruna and gave it such high praise that I decided to try It Although I started in with little faith, I felt so much better in a week that I felt encouraged. "I took it faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that I am entirely cured. ' Words fall to express my gratitude. Perfect health once more is the best thing I could wish for, and thanks to Peruna enjoy that now."—Minnie B. McAllister. T h e great popularity of Peruna as a catarrh remedy has tempted many people to Imitate Peruna. A great many so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are to be found In many drug stores. These remedies can be procured by the druggist much cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only be obtained at a uniform price, and no druggist can get it a cent cheaper. Thus it is that druggists are tempted to substitute the cheap imitations of Peruna for Peruna.

This Is a small church situated outside the walls of Constantinople, and it enjoyed no particular reputation before the conquest of Constantinople by the Turks. At the time of the invasion, however, a monk w a s cooking some fish there when a messenger came and told him that the Turks had entered Constantinople. The monk did not believe the story and said ho would sooner believe that the half cooked fish would jump back into the water. As he spoke the 'fish jumped back into the water, and since then the place has had a great reputation for its healing powers, A church has been built over the spring dedicated to "Our Lady of the Fishes,'* and on this day a regular pilgrimage takes place from nil parts of the town. Many sick are carried;thither, and many miraculous cures are reported. The truth of the story Is proved by the presence in a large marble lined tank in the church of the lineal descendants of the half cooked ftsh.

The gatue of counterfeiting in this country is played by people of all nationalities, and, although some women and children are used as tools, men take the principal parts. After having made the coin the great problem is how to convert it into good money. The maker rarely takes part in that operation. At is the business of gan^s, which consist usually of Jtwo persons, known as the "holder" and the "shover." The bolder carries a stock of the counterfeit money, and the shover has one piece. This ho takes to a store or a saloon and buys something for a small } amount, and when he comes into the : street the holder sees him from his position a block away, joins him, receives the good money and hands him another counterfeit. The object is to work so that the shover, if detected, may plead innocence and prove that the piece is the only one that he has and that he has no other money. Some clever operators ; go so far as to mix good coin with the ! bad. , i To Gange Hit Wife's Temper. "I heard about a peculiar case of henpecked husband recently," said a young woman the other day. "What was it?" her friend inquired. "There is a man who..has-SomfiJUffl^. 2ulty in gauging his wife's temper. At times she is considerate of his welfare and at other times—well, he rather thlnks-that married life is a failure. "He has a peculiar manner of finding out the state of his wife's feeling toward him. In the evening when he returns home from work he never steps into the house without going through a sort of ceremony. First he throws his hat in the house, and then he seats himself on the steps and waits. If five minutes pass without the hnt being thrown out again, be enters and generally finds his wife very agreeable. However, if the' hat is thrown out again the unfortunate man seeks hos- . pirality for the night somewhere else ^rather than brave the anger of his helpmeet."— Cleveland Leader, A Pot Walloper. The parliamentary register for 1898 shbwed that there was then only one pot walloper in all England. One seeing the term IVr the first time might easily imagine tnat a pot walloper was a species of ichthyosaurus or some other reptile of a past age. It will be dlst'overed- upon Inquiry, however, that the term "pot walloper" is literally one who boils u pot and was applied to voters in certaiu boroughs of England where, before the passage of the reform bill of 1S32. the qualifications for suffrage was to have boiled (walloped) | bis own pot in the parish for six months.

He was not forced to speculate Nor on Chicago's movement wait. He did not care for foreign trade, But sold his neighbors all he mad*. Cables and telegrams were rare; The markets did not make him swear. Small was his mill, his profits round; Clear was his head, his slumbers sound.

Germination of a Love Affair. —BY-OUION IS WILSON-- (Copyright. 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) I have just come to a knowledge of certain facts which I deem it my imperative duty to make public for two reasons—first, because they clear up the mystery of the disappearance of that great and originajl investigator, my friend, Professor X. (whose many friends will, after perusing what is here set down, easily recognize him without the mention of his name, which, made in so public a manner, would, I know, be highly offensive to him), and, second, because*I hope they will cause some other scientist of prominence to follow up the unique and, I conceive, eminently important line of investigation initiated by Professor X. I say that I have just come to a ^ knowledge of these facts. This is the exact truth, although the said facts have been in my possession for the past three months. To be plain, just before the Professor disappeared so completely I received through the mail a note from him with^a sealed en-8 closure which his note requested me to open and read three month's after ki. Sometlilag has gone wrong. It reached me. This I have just done. The enclosure I found to be the Professor's notes upon the progress of a most remarkable and unusual series of experiments founded upon the germ theory. In this connection I wish to say that while, in common with his Other friends, I of course knew of the Professor's keen interest in. this theory, I had had not the slightest hint that he had struck out. so boldly in the field of original research. So radical has been the Professor's departure in these experiments from the beaten track that I have thought It best to give an almost exact reproduction of the notes in my possession, merely editing them and eliminating. as far as possible, the phraseology of the scientist that would be in large sp *K ~ * . 7|-|i^li|]yy<i^yyi|»8 measure uiD1^t€Uigblej tp fte layman. 1 give the notes, la tns order in which they appear in the book containing them. They were evidently jotted down at different times, but none are dated, though the last was manifestly written immediately before the Professor dropped out of sight. "I am fascinated. For some time I have been studying those two strongest of human passions—love and hate —and their origin. They are Interest* lng to the investigator if for no other reason than that they set all accepted rules at defiance. Instances are plenty of the manifestation of love where the opposite should, according to the socalled laws of nature, appear. The papers recently noted that a laf ge and venomous snake had killed a setting hen and then carefully hatched and reared her chicks. The killing of their own offspring by animals of many kinds is common. Tho sentiments of parents toward their children and vice I saw J enter. versa are all too often at variance with the rule. How are these facts to be accounted for?" "As far back as we can trace, love and hate have been known by common consent as matters of the heart. Such things very often have a foundation in fact—why may not this have? And if there is any real connection, may it not, since the heart is merely the forcepump of the blood, lie In the lifefluid itself? And, this granted, might we not go a step further and imagine that there exist germs oi the two master passions?" Here follow numerous entries of so technical a nature that they are quite beyond my understanding. They are evidently notes of the succeeding steps in a very lengthy series of experiments. However interesting they may prove hereafter to a scientist, they need not be inserted here. The latter notes, however, tell of a successful outcome. "I verily believe that I have at last succeeded in isolating the germs of love and hate!" Then is set forth at length the scientific descriptions of these germs, the number of which present in any case, according to the Professor, governs the degree of the sentiment. The notes continue: "Given a culture of the germ of love In the blood of one animal and another animal inoculated with that culture, the animal so inoculated will love the one whose blood furnished the culture medium. The same Is true of the germ of hate. I believe that I have eliminated every possibility of error, but I shall, of course, put my conclusions to further tests." "A cat in a cage at my elbow is nursing carefully a litter of tiny mice, orphaned by tabby herself. She ate their mother. I have a hawk rearing a brood of chickens. Her motherly affection for them is touching and pronounced. Two dogs, brothers and hitherto the best of friends and merriest of playmates, have, in the past few days, become the bitterest of snarling, snapping enemies. Certainly there seems no doubt of the effectiveness of either serum as applied to animals. How would It affect the human beings?" "The last lingering doubt is removed! Circumstances made it possible for me t o secure a small quantity of the blood of Miss M. (in this, as in all other instances, the names are suppressed for reasons even more obvious than in the case of the Professor himself) in which I made a culture of the microbe of love. 'With this I inoculated, myself, and now, impossible as it would seem to my friends, I find myself madly in love with her. I might counteract this by an inoculation of the opposite germ, but I cannot bring myself to do it. Evidently I am very, very much in love!" "I have made a horrjble discovery. Miss M. does not-—and says she can never—love me! Further, though she also says that she will never marry. I am convinced that J. loves her almost as madly as I do! And he has youth, wit, fortune, comeliness—every attribute that could attract a w o m a n - while I" "Why should I hesitate?

I*anc« Boat* of the tiarnu Army Cause Snsp'elon. At least a real use has been discovered for the ianccs carried by the European cavalry. In America we don't attach much importance to lances, but in England in the early stages of the war in the Transvaal much was heard of Boers being "spitted" on English lances. In the German army, however, a scheme has been devised by which the lances of the cavalry form a framework for boats. This is such an advanced step that the English arc watching closely to see what success attends it. Twelve to sixteen lances and a few cross sticks form the framework for these lance boats, and besides the oars, which are made of a lance and a canvas blade, the only other essential part of the boat is the waterproof covering. It takes' only **ve minutes for the troopers to tie th.3 frame work together and two minute more to fasten on the cover. Then the boat is ready for launching. Sometimes to insure stability the two boats are fastened together like a catamaran. -When these boats are packed up one horse can easily carry two of them. It is said that with the old system it required 2,000 men and 3,500 horses merely to look after the transport of the boats If every squadron in the English army were supplied with two boats, however, only. 600 horses are needed, and in the Item of fodder alone there is a saving of $137,500 a year.— New York Press. 2££S — • Urjtjftn^Wlll Fight.

The orchard disease caused by the fungus Sphsvropsis malonim is very common In the state of Now York. It lias boon known to scientllic investigators for only1 a few years, and thoujjfli noticeable In many orchards its effects have been ascribed by practical men to sun scald, frost injuries or varietal weakness rather than to a specific disease. The Geneva (X. Y.) station says, however, that the blackened, eilarged uas ueeu uesuoyeu ure round in iniay localities aud on luany varieties. The same germ causes a tNvTg Tillglit often found In orchards showing little or no sign of the canker form and also produces black rot of the fruit. It has been known that fungi very similar to this one work on other .trees am! shrubs. Tests mady iu U)00 prove that this same species of fungus occurs on apple trees, pear trees and hawthorn trees aud on apple, pear and quluce fruits. To cause the destructive cankers which girdle the limbs the germs of the disease must get through the tough outer layer of the bark' into the growing layer beneath, the cambium. An Injury to the bark of some sort Is necessary tothis entrance, for the fungous threads cannot penetrate the unbroken bark. Suu scald as well as mechanical abrasions may cause such injuries. The bark is killed by the sun and frost and cracks or peels, -when the germ finds ready entrance «,nd rapidly extends the injured area in canker form. Sun scald_pr sunburn Is a common trouble In this state, probably more common than generally supposed, especially on tender varieties. The long areas of reddish bark on the south and southwest sides of limbs and young trunks are inconspicuous when they first are scald*<l aud so escape notice, but they are all too common and may become the seat of serious harm to the trees. Trees of tender varieties should be protected from the direct rays of the sun by training them to low, thick heads which shade both trunks and branches. . Additional protection may be given by a coat of whitewash upon the trunks, which helps to prevent absorption of the sun's rays and also exerts a favorable influence upon the bark: itself,..... A_goqd mixture Is: Lime (unslaked) 30 Tallow .., i Bait 5 Dilute with water enough to make It spray easily. .In-addition to the protection from sun scald thorough spraying with bordeaux mixture and care to prevent occidental injuries make up the preventive treatment. The larger diseased limbs may be saved from complete loss by cutting them off back of the cankered area and inserting clous of the same variety. Only a few specimens showing effects of this trouble have been found in America, some coming from Nova Scotia and a few from Cortland county in this state. The cankers are unlike those of the spbreropsis and are caused by a different fuHgus. Nectria ditlssima. They are well represented by the "in spraying experiments the same year tbe bfcst returta were obtalue4 iwlth the ammc^lwar^ttrboiiatfr^f-cop*-- E»er. This fungicide Dot only kept att be tealthy and new leaves free; from he fungus, but the plants grew better ' ,than with any other treatment employed. i Bordeaux mixture gave results that [were in every way satisfactory except jthat the plants were somewhat retardled In their growth. This Is of course a serious objection to the use of this fungicide, but It is not probable that the dwarfing of the plants would have been eo great if the sprayings had been less frequent, and It Is possible that the results In controlling the disease would have been just as satisfactory. • While shading Is of considerable advantage to the plants, It does not prevent the attacks antl development of the blight fungus. It Is an interesting •tjuestlou in this connection to know, what resr.lts could be obtained by a combination of shading and spraying. It is. not probable that there Is danger- Xif-flpjjiyin.s too early, and it Is importaut to U^ep^the leaves free rrom fi'.ngv.s, which can only be done by spraying before they are attacked. Experience shows they cannot be saved after they are attacked. / •t The ammoniacal carbonate of copper used was prepared by placing one ounce of copper carbonate in just [enough water to dissolve it and then diluting to nine gallons with ordinary water from the well or the hydrant. The amount of ammonia water^ required to dissolve an ounce of copper carbonate 'is about one-half pint, and this should be diluted with from* one and one-half to two quarts of water before the carbonate is placed 1IJ i t It Is impossible to state just how much commercial ammonia water will be required, but any excess of ammonia is iiable to burn-tbfr foliage. Similar experiments were made in 1900, and, summing them all up, it appears that— Celery blight may be kept under complete control by spraying either with ammoniacal carbonate of copper or with bordeaux mixture.

Thet 1« Not of Good Import—ProT* ( mtits XXV: 9. (Copyright, MOU Louis Klopsch, N. Y.) i Washington, July 28.--A practical {question which 1B asked In most * houses, and for many years, Is here asked by Dr. Talmage and answered; •text, Proverbs xxv, 9, "Discover not a 'secret to another." J It appears that In Solomon's time, as* In all subsequent periods of the world, there were people too much disposed to tell all they knew. It was *lab, blab, blab; physicians revealing 1the case of their patients, lawyers exposing the private affairs of their clients, neighbors advertising the faults •of the next door resident, pretended friends betraying confidences. i \ One-half of tTfetrbuDleoreTeiy^TOmmunity comes from the fact that so many people have not the capacity to 'keep their mouths shut. When I hear •something disparaging of you, my first duty is not to tell you, but if I tell you what somebody has said against you and then go out and tell everybody else what I told you, and they go out and tell others what I told them that I told you, and we all go out, some to hunt up the originator of the story and others to hunt it down, we shall get the whole community talking about what ycu did not do, and there will be as many scalps taken as though a band of Modocs had swept upon a jhelpless village. We have two ears, but only one tongue, a physiological —suggestion that—wo ought to—hear_jL Wood deal more than we tell. Let. us Jjoin a conspiracy that we will tell each ''other all the good and nothing of the fill, and then there will not be such 'awful need of sermons on Solomon's jwords, "Discover not a secret to an- < J o t h e i \ ~ ~ ~ , Solomon had a very large domestic •Jclrcle. In his earlier days he had very •Iconfused notions about monogamy and •polygamy, and his multitudinous associates in the matrimonial state kept him too well informed as to what was going on in Jerusalem. They gathered up all the privacies and poured them Into his ear, and his family became a • sorosis or female debating society of 700, discussing day after day all the • difficulties between husbands and wives, between employers and employes, between rulers and subjects, until Solomon, in my text, deplores volubility about affairs that do not belong to us and extols the virtue of secret! veness.' Ontbrenehtafft of Sympathy. You sometimes see a man with no 'Outbranchings of sympathy. His nature is cold and hard, like a ship's mast ice glaced, which the most agile ;4aaik)r could never climb. Others have 'a thousand roots and a thousand f ibranches. Innumerable tendrils climb ittheir hearts and blossom all the way jjup, and the fowls of heaven sing in the ^branches. In consequence of this ten- • dency we flhd men coming together in " tribes, in communities, in churches, in societies. Some gather together to culjtlvate the arts, some to plan for the —welfare of the stale, bunie to dincuaq religious themes, some to kindle their mirth, some to advance their craft. So every active community is divided into associations of artiBts, of merchants, of bookbinders, of carpenters, of masons, of plasterers, of shipwrights, of plumbers. Do you cry out iagainst it? Then you cry out against «a tendency divinely implanted. Your •tirades wduld accomplish no more than ?if you should preach to a busy ant Itiill a long sermon against secret societies. i Here we find the oft discussed question whether associations that do their iwork with closed doors and admit their members by passwords and greet each •other with a secret grip are right or [wrong. I answer that it depends entirely on the nature of the object for which they meet. Is it to pass the ftours in revelry, wassail, blasphemy •and obscene talk or to plot trouble to 'the state or to debauch the innocent, 1then I say, with an emphasis that no man can mistake. No! But is the object the defense of the rights of any class against oppression, the improvement of the mind, the enlargement of ]the heart, the advancement of art, the •defense of the government, the extir- \patlon of crime or the kindling of a jpure hearted sociality, then I say, with JJust as much emphasis, Yes! j Secret SocUHe*. ', There are secret societies in our colleges that have letters of the Greek alphabet for their nomenclature, and •fthetr members are at the very front in •scholarship and Irreproachable in mortals, while there are others the scene »ot-carousal, and they gamble, and they jdrink, and they graduate knowing a {hundred times more about sin than /tatty do of geometry and Sophocles, Jn other words, secret societies, like Individuals, Are good or bad, arc the means of moral health or of temporal and eternal damnation. All good people recognize the vice of slandering an individual, but many do not see the sin. of slandering an organization. There are old secret societies in this and other countries, some of them centuries old, which have been widely denounced as immoral and damaging in their influence, yet I have hundreds of personal friends who belong to them —friends who are consecrated to God, pillars in the church, faithful in all relations of life, examples of virtue and piety. They are the kind of friends whom I would have for my executors at the time of decease, and they are the men whom X would have carry me out to the last sleep when I am dead. You cannot make me believe that they would belong to bad institutions. They are the men who would stamp on anything iniquitous, and I would certainly rather lake their testimony in regard to such societies than the testimony of those who, having been sworn in as members, by their assault upon them confess themselves perjurers. One of these secret societies gave for the relief of the sick in 1S73 in this country, $1,490,274. Some of these societies have poured a very heaven of sunshine and benediction into the home of suffering. Several of them are founded on fidelity to good citizenship and the Bible. I have never taken one of their degrees. They might give me the grip a thousand times and I would not recognize it. I am ignorant of their passwords, and I must judge entirely from the outside. But Christ has given us a rule by which we may judge not only all individuals, but all societies, secret and open. "By their fruits ye shall know them." Bad societies make bad men. Good socleties make good men. A bad man will not stay in a good society. A good man will not stay in a bad society. I1,1 1.IWIIW Then try all secret societies by two or three rules. Influence en Home L.fe. Test the first: Their influence on home, if you have a home. That wife soon loses her influence over her husband who nervously and foolishly looks upon all evening absence as an assault on domesticity. How are the great enterprises of reform and art and literature and beneficence and public weal to be carried on if every man is to have his world bounded on one side by his front doorstep and on the other side by his back window, knowing nothing higher than his own attic or lower than his own cellar? That wife who becomes jealous of her husband's attention to art or literature or religion or charity is breaking her own scepter of conjugal power. I know an instance where a wife thought that her husband was giving too many nights to Christian service, to charitable service, to prayer meetings and to religious convocation. She systematically decoyed him away until now he attends no church, watts upon no charitable institution and is on a rapid way to destruction, his morals gone, his money gone and, I fear, his soul gone. Let any Christian wife rejoice when her husband consecrates evenings to the service of humanity and of God or anything elevating, but let no man sacrifice home life to secret society life, as many do. I can_point out to you a great many names of men who> are guilty of this sacrilege. They are as genial aa angels at the society room and as ugly as sin at homo. They are genereous on all subjects of wine suppers, yachts and fast horses, but they are stingy about the wives' dresses and the children's shoes. That man has made that which might be a healthful Influence a usurper of his affection and he has married it, and he is guilty of moral bigamy. Under this process his wife, whatever her features, becomes uninteresting and homely. He becomes critical of her, does not like the dress, does not like the way she arranges her hair, is amazed that he ever was so unromantic as to offer her hand and heart. There are secret societies wnere membership always involves domestic shipwreck. Tell me that a man has joined a certain kind and tell me nothing more about him for ten years, and I will write his history if ne be still alive. The man is a wine guzzler, his wife broken hearted or prematurely old, his fortune gone and his home a mere name in the directory. Erlle or Bed Aeeeeleftleoe. The doctor coming in will at a glance see it is not only present disease he must fight, but years of fast living. The clergyman, for the sake of the feelings of the family on the funeral day will only talk in religoua generalities. The men who got his yacht in the eternal rapids will not be at the obsequies. They have pressing engagements that day. They will send flowers to the coffin, will send their wives to utter words of sympathy, but they will have engagements elsewhere. They never come. Bring me mallet and chisel, and I wi?l cut that man's epitaph, 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord?" "No," you say *that would not be appropriate.* "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his?" "No," you say, "that would not be appropriate.' Then give me the mallet and the chise and I will cut an honest epitaph, ."Her, lies the victim of dissipating associa tions!" Another test by which you can fin< whether your secret society Is right oi wrong Is the effect it has on your secu lar occupation. I can understand ho* through such an institution a man cat reach commercial success. I kno* some men have formed their best business relations through such a channel If the secret society has advantaged you in an honorable calHng.lt Is a good one, but has your credit failed? Ar< bargain makers now more anxious how they trust you with a bale oi goods? Have the men whose namei were down in the commercial agency Al before they entered the society been going down since in commercial standing? Then look cut. You and I every day know of commercial establishments going to ruin through the social excesses of one or two members, their fortune beaten to death wirh ball players' bat or cut amidships with the front prow of the regatta or going down under the swift hoofs of the fast horses or drowned in the large potations of cognac or Monongahela. That secret society was the Loch Earn. Their business was the Ville de Havre. They struck, and the Ville de Havre went under! tu tho Lust Iloarg. Which would you rather have In your hand when you come to die, a pack of cards or a Bible? Which would you rather have pressed to your lips In the closing moment, the cup of Belshazzarean wassail or the chalice of Christian communion? Whom would you rather have for you,r pallbearers, the elders of a Christian church or the companions whose conversation was full of slang and innuendo? Whom WOuTdT you father have^^ for-yoTrr eternal companions, those men who spend their evenings betting, gambling, swearing, carousing and telling vile stories or your little child, that bright girl whom the Lord took? Oh, you would not have been away so many nights, would you, if you had known she was going away so soon? Dear me, your house has never been the same place since. Your wife has never brightened up. She has never got over it. She never will get over it. How long the evenings are with no one to put to bed and no one to whom to tell the beautiful Bible stories! What a pity it is that you cannot spend more evenings at home in trying to help her bear that sorrow! You can never drown that grief in the wine cup. You can never break away from the little arms that used to be flung around your neck when she used to say, "Papa, do stay with me tonight, do stay with me tonight!" You will never be able to wipe away from your lips the dying kiss of your little girl. The fascination of a bad secret society is so great that sometimes a man has turned his back on his home when his child was dying of scarlet fever. He went away. Before he got back at midnight the eyes had been closed, the undertaker had done his work, and the wife, worn out with three weeks' watching, lay unconscious in the next room. Then the returned father comes- up stairs, and sees the cradle gone, and he says, "What is the matter?" On the judgment day he will find out what was the matter. _ • —©h7"man astray, God lielp ^y<m\—T am going to make a very stout rope. You know that sometimes a ropemaker will take very small threads and wind them together until after awhile they become a ship cable. And I am going to take some very small delicate threads and wind them together until they make a very stout rope. I will take all" the memories of the marriage day—a thread of laughter, a thread of Tight, a thread of music, a thread of banqueting, a thread of congratulation— and I twist them together, and I have one strand. Then I take a thread of the hour of the first advent in your house, a thread of the darkness that preceded, and a thread of the beautiful scarf that little child used to wear when she bounded out at eventide to greet you, and a thread of the beautiful dress in which you laid her away for the resurrection, and then I twist all these threads together, and I have another strand. Then I take a thread of the scarlet robe of a suffering Christ, and a thread of the white raiment of your loved ones before the throne, and a string of the harp cherubic, and a string of the harp seraphic, and I twist them all together, and I have a third strand. "Oh," you say, "either strand is enough to hold fast a world!" No, I will take these strands and I will twist them together, and one end of that rope I will fasten, not to the communion table, for it shall be removed; not to a pillar of the organ, for that will crumble in the ages; but I wind it round and round the cross of a sympathizing Christ, and, having fastened one end of the rope to the cross, I throw the other end to you. Lay hold of it! Pull for your life! Pull for heaven? Time Is like a verb that ean. only -fee of use In the present teats* SIGNALS TO MARS. PROFESSOR OP ASTRONOMY SAY9 IT CAN'T BE DONE. If l * k a Sqjperltr ffti Oeveved with Petroleum end the OU Set on 1*1 re ,,. it TCoeld Teke a Uoo4 Teie<eoee to See the D * * * Sir Robert S. Ball, the Cambrldgs astronomer, writes to the London Express: It was the remark of the great Sir William Herschel that the resemblance of Mars to this earth Is one of the most striking features in the solar system. The observations of the planet which have been made since the time of this incomparable observer have tended to Illustrate the truth which he then laid down. Mars U not so large as our earth, of course, but, like our earth, Mars is surrounded by an atmosphere. At the poles of Mars are vast white tracts which becoms greatly extended during winter on the planet, but which shrink again during the ensuing summer. To deny that these white tracts on Mars consist of ice or snow now seems to me a supposition so fantastic that I think wo need not seriously diccuss it. It ha3 been proved by recent observation that the large dark objects on Mari long believed to be open oceans can nojen^er be so described. By the excellent telescopes now available, thesa dark tracts have been shown to be traversed by marks of a nature s'o permanent as to be» wholly incompatible with the supposition that in looking at the dark regions we are looking at sheets of liquid. For the demonstration of this point we are indebted to the labors of many astronomers, but we must specially mention Mr. Perclval Lowell, who has devoted consummate sTfllTalfd""BWdTrtty-^ planet. With the help of a powerful telescope at his. observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, Mr. Lowell ha3 also largely extended our knowledge of the canals discovered many years ago by Schiaparelli. Mr. Lowell has given U3 some excellent reasons for his belief that these so-called canals do Indeed mark the courses along which.water is conducted from the melting snows at* the poles of Mars to the more arid parts of the planet. When, upon certain occasions, which do not recur very frequently, Mars comes nearest the earth, the distance of the planet from our globe is still about thirty-five million miles. Now what can a telescope show at the distance of thirtyfive million miles? It requires a very good telescope to reduce the apparent distance of an object to a thousandth part. Tfcaf is to say, it is a very good telescope which will show an object as clearly as we could see ft with the unaided eye if it were at a thousandth part of its distance, and if we dispensed with the assistance of a telescope. It is, therefore, impossible to hope for any signalling to Mars unless the signals were on a scale sufficiently great to be visible to the unaided eye even at a distance as great as thirty-five thousand miles. This consideration suffices to prove the utter futility of human endeavor to make any demonstrations on a sufficiently large scale to be perceptible to the inhabitants of Mars. The very largest city that this earth has ever known would be altogether too small .1 'I "..If IK ,.;: DANP ED INTO CDLOH1E* . ^ , • ; • ' • : * : < to be visible, to a being dwelling on the planet Mars, even if that being were endeavoring to see it with a tel'e^ scope as powerful as the greatest and most perfect instrument in any observatory on this globe. If the whole extent of Lake Superior was covered with petroleum, and if that petroleum was set on fire, then T think we may admit that an inhabitant of Mars who wlas furnished with a telescope as good as that which Mr. Perclval Lowell uses at Flagstaff might be able to see that something had happened'. But we must not suppose that the mighty conflagration would appear to Hve Martian as a very conspicuous object.. It would rather be a very small feature, but still I think it would not be beyond the reach of a practiced observer in that planet. On the' other hand, if an area the size of Lake Superior on Mars was to be flooded with petroleum and that petroleum was to be Wndled, we should expect to witness the event from here not as a great and striking conflagration, but as a tiny little point of just discernible light. The disc of Mars io not a large object, and the conflagration would net extend over the three-hundredth part of that disc. It Is sufficient to state these facts to show that the possibility of signalling to Mars is entirely beyond tho power of human resources. . »»P*H«oen« I t t em 1st . 'VeW . Yep*' m Self-Inpportlng Vomea, Manr apartment houses are now being erected in New York city for the special convenience of colonies of self-supporting women, and that they" are successful Is attested by the fact" that several capitalists are contest? gUttag making artdUiox to the num. bar already in existence. Those already occupied are suited to eveix grade of ambition and to every kind of income. Girl colonists are quick witted in adapting apartment* to their use. If the group is too large for one they take two, three, four, or eves ball a dozen if necessary. The housekeeping is confined to one and the other apartments are fitted up as sleeping rooms and sitting rooms in a way that causes a conventional housekeeper to open her eyes. By the time such a one haB made a tour of all the rooms belonging to a girl colony and finds no bed, bereau or chiffonier in one of them she begins to wonder-if these young women have discovered a method of living without sleeping, until someone explains to her that t&e Bagdad covered couch "piled high wi^i cushions on which she- is sitting is In reality a woven-wirc cot with a comfortable hair mattress, which serves as an excellent bed. Indeed, to anyone unaccustomed to the wayT of girl colonists it scorns as if most of the inanimate objects in sight were engaged In a masquerade ball. A curtain drawn aside from what seems to be a bookcase discloses shelves filled with all the articles which furnish a mcdel dressing table. The dining room sideboard becomes a thing of beauty with curtains, casts and brica- brac in a charming room that gives no hint of its real purpose In the plan of the apartment. Where a colony includes general apartments in its menage~ and-puts only Tme^lnrng-fooarand one kitchen to its proper use two or three must be converted into living rooms. The dining room lends itself easily to the transformation, but the kitchen, which seems quite hopeless at first glance, often becomes the prize room of the house. Six Doctors This Time.

By SYLVANUS COBB. JR. \ I CHAPTER IV.—(Continued.) • Judah got down from the back of nil horse, and having thrown the rein jOYfij the branch of a tree, he ttarted after the vclunteer guide. Halt a mile distant, at the edge of a thick piece of wood, the Israelite, was Informed that he must submit to be hoodwinked. He made no objections, and the robber proceeded to bind a sash over his eyes, after which he was led some distance further, by a winding, tortuous way-, and when the bandage was removed, he found himself in a low .vale, beneath a roof of thick foliage, and la the presence of a hundred armed men. One man—a handsome, noblelooking youth—arose and approached him, to whom his guide reported what -had transpired.— — "Do yon seek Julian'?" asked the stately youth, looking upon the Israelite with a -searching glance. "Yes, sir,*' replied Judah, as frankly and calmly as though he had besu answering one of his own brethren. "I am Julian," said the chieftain, quietly. ' "Then, Brr."" Teturned the newcomer, with a low bow, "to you I present my petition.'" "First,—who are you?" "My name is Judah, and I have been a servant in the train of the king of Damascus." "Ah,—is it 130?" The chieftain may have looked a little more sharply into the man's face, but he bstrayed no sur- -prise.- "you spoke of a petition. What Is it?" Judah removed his mantle, and then stripped off his tunic, thus baring his back to the gaze of those who stood around. "Do you see that back?" he cried, quivering, and grinding his teeth. "Do 5*ou see where the cruel lash has eaten into my flesh? Horam, king of Dimascus,. put that stain upon me. Do you wish me to say more?" "L think you would be revengad upon the king?" said Julian. "I would be placed in the very front of that force which is to strike at Horam, or at anything belonging to him. I am not of Damascus born, and my love is not there. I would join my fortunes with those of Julian." After a very short conference with some of his companions, the chieftain informed Judah that he might remain where he was; and that, if he proved himself worthy, he would be received Into full fellowship. The Israelite expressed himself as thankful for the favor thus conferred and was soOn allowed to mingle with the members of the band. For two days he ate with them, and Joined them in their sports; and during that time he knew that watchful eyes were upon him. But he was equal to the task, and on the third day he was counted as one of them. On the fourth day one of the sentinels brought a black man into the camp, who gave his nams as Osmer, and who said that he had escaped from a tyrannical master in Aleppo. And he -furthermore-said that he-had-a-companion who was hiding somewhere in the forest. Before noon said companion made his appearance, announcing his name as Selini; and when the two had been questioned, their stories were so harmonious, and so frank, that they were suffered to remain; and finally 'they were allowed to perform the duties of body-servant to the chieftain. Judah could have asked for nothing better thus far; and he was resolved that his further plans should be carefully and surely laid. Ah! Julian little dreamed of the danger that was creeping upon him! and it was probable that they bore wealth for Horam. Just as the sun was rising, while Judah was in the wood after his horse, he was accosted by Osmir, who had been out on an errand for the chieftain.. "Ah, my master," said the black, gazing carefully around to see that he was not observed; "I am glad that I have met you. I have been wondering whether you meant to carry out the plan which brought us here.1' "Why have you wondered at such a thing?" asked Judah. ' "Because," replied Osmir, "I have made up my mind that if the choice of masters were left to me I should [ choose to serve Julian rather than the king of Damascus. I like him much the best. He is not such a terrible man as he has been represented. He Is a kind, generous man, and I blame him not for his hatred of Horam," "Well, sir," said the Israelite, speaking quickly and sternly, "do you think of turning your face from the work we have to do?" "No, no, my p master. I am not so determined, I shall follow you. Your commands must be my law. If you say proceed I am with you." "And how is it with Selim?" "You have nothing to fear, my master, from him. The two men whom you selected to accompany you will not betray you. Selim thinks of this robber chieftain as I do; but he is bound to-hisduty^and-will-perform-4t CHAPTER V. Caged. The circumstances which might have led another to hasten his operations, led the Israelite to greater care and reflection. He had not supposed that Julian would take the two blaek men to service so near his own person, and when he found that such arrangement had been made, his, first inclination was to hesitate least a suspicion of the ' slaves' honesty had led the chieftain to place them thus near him. However, after the lapse of a few days, Judah was satisfied that no suspicion, was entertained against himself or his companions, and he began to turn his attention to the work he had in hand. On the morning of the fourth day Julian announced his intention of moving, and gave orders that his men should be in readiness. A spy had arrived during the night- with intelligence that a large caravan was on its war from Tyre to Damascus, and the chieftain had determined to intercept It Soma wealthy merchants from ROOM wart U the approaching train, Judah knew the characters and dispositions of the two and he felt no uneasiness. "My good. Osmir," he said, with a smile, "concerning this Scourge ot Damascus I feel much as you feel. I have long known that he was a noble, true-hearted man. But he is an enemy cf our king, and we have promised to capture him. Just think, for a moment, what must be the result if we take him, and convey him in safety to Damascus. Think what people will say of Osmir and Selim. Now the merchants of Damascus are in fear and trembling on account of this terrible Scourge, and the king sits uneasily upon his throne; but if we arrest the dreaded chieftain, and deliver him up, the merchants will rejoice, and the king will be grateful. And upon whom shall their thanks and their honors fall?" This speech pleased Osmir, and fired him.up to new zeal in the work he had undertaken. Judah moved out from the cover to observe if any one was approaching, and when he was satisfied that he was still safe, he returned and gave Osmir such instructions as he deemed necessavy. He was careful that all should be understood, and that each projected movement should be so arranged that there could be no possible clashing. He knew the wit and temper of his associates, and he had no fear that they would disappoint him by any blunder hr mistake. "And now," said the Israelite, after his directions had been given, "if we itrc at'trti -farvored- by ?ortrrne~^'e-shaJ'i most surely succeed. Thus far fortune has been upon our side. Your position near the person of Julian is most favorable. Impart our arrangements carefully to Selim, and await my further signal." Osmir promised obedience, and the two men separated, Judah going in search of his horse, while Osmir proceeded directly to the camp, where, having delivered a message to the chieftain, he sought Selim, and in a little while the two were In secret consultation. Toward the middle of the forenoon the robber train was in motion, and when it came night they camped in an cpen wood, between two hills, near to the road which led from Caesarea Phllippi to Damascus; and here they were to remain until the expected caravan made its appearance. Sometimes' Julian took his tent with him when leading his band upon long expeditions, but on the present occasion he had left it behind, choosing that the place of his encampment should be as little noticeable as possible. After he had seen his sentinels all posted, and given such directions as he thought* necessary, he sought a place of rest beneath a large tree, where he soon sank into a dreamy slumber. It jiust have been near midnight when he was aroused by some one moving near him, and on starting up he was addressed by Osmir: "My master, I have a strange message for you." The chieftain arose to a sitting posture. "Is this Osmir?" "Yea." "From whom brim you a message?" Are Yon Uiln* AUen't Foot*£»Mf It is the only cure for Swollen.

As I walked forth a short time iftoee, a sentinel informed me that some oae outside of the camp wished to speak with me, I went to the spot designated, and there found a young bond-maiden of Damascus. Her name was Albia," "Albia!" cried Julian, storting to his feet. "Why, such was the name of the maiden who attended upon tho princess Ulln." "Aye, my lord, she is the same." "What? Do you mean that the bondmaiden of Ulin is at our camp?" ••She is." "What is her business?" "She wishes to speak with Julian." "But her business-*-of what does she wish to speak?" "She did not tell me, my lord. She would only say that she was the bondmaiden of Ulin, and she desired to see you. I knew her not; but she seemed so gentle, and so timid, and used your name so eloquently, that I could not doubt her. I think her story is true. I think she is what she represents herself to be." "Did she not tell you from whom she came?-- "No, unless her announcement that she was the bondmaiden of the princess Ulin may be taken In answer to the Query." "By the lyre of Apollo, she must have come from her mistress," exclaimed the chieftain, warmly. "The princess may be in trouble. She may need stout arms to help her. Lead me to this bondmaiden at once." "She begged, my lord, that she might not be exposed." "Lead on. I will see her." The great road wound around the foot of the hill, and ere long the guard had reached a point so utterly shut off from the camp that his loudest cry could not have been heard by the robber sentinels. —iiI«-4h^--g4rl-h«re*1'-a«k^d-J^Uau^as. his sable guide stopped and turned. "She must be very near here, my lord. I left her upon this very spot." The chieftain heard a slight rustling behind him; but, not being startled into quick action, before he could turn he received a blow upon the side of the head that felled him to the earth. He was for the moment Stunned, and before his reason was clear enough to direct his movements, he was set upon by three stout men, who bound his arms and legs so quickly that his power of resistance was gone before, he fairly knew what opposed him. "Sir Robber," spoke the Israelite bending over the prostrate chieftain, "you are my prisoner, and henceforth you are in my keeping until I deliver you up to my master. You cannot escape me, so do not trouble yourself with the attempt." "You are Judah," said the chieftain. "I am." "And these others are professed to be of Aleppo?" "Yes." "And you three serve the king of Damascus?" "Yen have guessed the truth." "By the gods," muttered Julian, as though communing with himsvlf, "I should have guessed this before. I have been blind. I have acted lil*>. a child. But I am not yel quite lost. I am still within the—' The Israelite had been watching him narrowly, and when he saw that the chieftain had a disposition to call for help, he sprang upQn_hlm-iind-stopp&d-f his mouth. "Do not blame yourself, Sir Robber. Judah of Damascus has done more difficult work than this; and you may take to yourself the assurance that when he set out upon his mission the deed was sure of its accomplishment. Ah, here comes Selim with the horses. You shall have an easy ride and a quick one; and when you are in the presence of the king you can plead your case as eloquently as you please, I have not time to listen; nor have I the power to judge." The Scourge of Damascus, in the full vigor of robust manhood, and possessed of a strength and daring beyond any of his stalwart followers, was a prisoner in the hands of three slaves—a prisoner within sound of his own camp—and so surely a prisoner that he had no way of escape. His steel-wrought muscles were powerless beneath the cruel bonds, and his mouth was stopped .from the utterance of .alarm. He was lifted from the ground and placed upon the back ol a powerful horse, and in a few moments more he was being borne swiftlj away from his friends and companions— away towards the city where dwelt his deadliest enemies.

The fan actuate* mechanism w which raises the weight of the clock until It roaches the top and then puts a break en the fan till the weight has gone down a little, when the fan Is again liberated and proceeds to act as_before, As_lpng*as the sun shines frequently enough and the machinery does not wear out the clock wilt keep in perpetual motion. Heavy canvas or duck makes, a very good covering to put over the* frame. If moths once get Into a hive of black bees, it Is only a question of time when It will be destroyed. One advantage with Italian bees is that they are less liable to be destroyed by moths than others. In comb honey raising the main dependence is on first swarms. A natural swarm Is ready for business as soon as hived. Let no colony take chances without a queen. Either get a queen for them er take them up and unite tbein with some other colony. They will only prove a loss if allowed to remain, but tbey^are a bait for robbers. EUQBNK W.

The Staatsrath in Christiania has ruled t h a t the use of the word shall henceforth not be obligatory upon the bride, but "facultative" T h a t is to say, the bride is to be free either to say that she will be "faithful and obedient," or simply to say that she will be "faithful."

The orchards of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys blossom some months before the southern sage brush. The bee-farmer, t h e r e - fore, carts his bees about from place to place as the seasons advance, and thus, by keeping them busy nine months of the year, gets three crops of honey. The difficulty of moving bees during the active season is overcome by traveling a t night. As t h e bees help to pollenize the flowers and thus produce superior fruit, the owners ef t h e orchards regard them with favor. In results the plan is even better t h a n t h a t of the enterprising farmer who crossed his bees with fireflies so t h a t they could work nights. Shot Hi*. Wife.

From $224,704 in 1S1K1 the allowances of the board of state auditors have increased to $4O7.S10 in the fiscal y e a r which closed J u n e ;!0.

Count Okuma, in an address which formed a p a r t of the dedicatory exercises, expressed social and educational views which could not be surpassed for liberality by the leaders of thought in our own country or England. " W h e n o u r women are educated," he said, "our nation will he twice as strong as It is now. The countries which have tried t o get along with a standard which applies only to the education of men have fallen conspicuously behind in the race of h u m a n progress." As illustrations he named Egypt, Turkey, Persia and China, The count admitted t h a t society in J a p a n was disfigured by many abuses. The remedy, in his opinion, lies in a radical reform of t h e ideals of family life, which can be •fleeted only by such an improvement to the status of women as t h e s e w university will bring a b o u t Land f2.

"Come to think of it," said George Peterson to Will Garrison, as the two stood, chatting on the highway, "I beard that you said that one of us was a-goln' to git a bullet-hole in him * afore long?" "Well, now," returned Will thoughtfully, screwing his left eye and digging at his scalp, "hit comes to me thet I hed jest about sich talk." "You think we ought to shoot over Tillie Adams, eh?" "I don't see thet we cud choot over - ennythlng more Important; do you? I shot ole Jim Stacy over a hog last summer, an' by gum, in my estimation, Tillle Adams is wuth a whole drove o' hogs." "That 1B all true," admitted George; "hogs ain't to be mentioned in the same breath with TUlle—no man gits ahead o' me in appreciating her worth —but the question is one o' policy an' good jegment—ort we to kill each other over her?"

"I kin jlst see Tillle, her booUful face, like er dew-wet rose, hanging over me right now'" "Hush! Go ter drawin' a plcter .like that, an' I'll commit suicide to git to be the one to git hung over." The two men laughed merrily, while at the same time they were unjointing the "pops," casting out old hulls and putting new cartridges Into the cylinders. "How far off had we better get?" asked George. "Oh, we-e-11, say—well—one hundred yards—and step forward ten steps at each fire." "That's good—say, who's them comin' in that buggy?" "Burned ef I don't believe It's Bill Tom Branner an' Tillie." "That's jest who they is, by gum!" An old topless buggy, drawn by a thin, bay horse rattled up. The occupants, coming opposite, inclined their heads gently, smiled pleasantly and passed on, a foam of dust rising in their wake. ' ' . "She smiled at me, George." "She smiled at me, Bill." "Say, Bill," laughed George. "Wouldn't it be a good 'un on us if Tillie loved that dog dratted rascal with her better than she do either of us?" "Huh! An' him with nuthin' but an' edication, an' not a hoss to his name! That's 'bout as redickilus as one of us bein' loved by a president's darter." "Oh, I wuz jest funning, of co'se, but, come to think, I've hcarn o' things jest as onreasonable. Ye see, Tillie has been down to the Bluegrass goin' to school for a year or so, an' thar's no tellin' what sich fool doin's as that will lead a gal to. They are curious critters at the best—gals is.

Quietly the young gallants- worked toward each other, and, before the silent company knew they had met, or knew they had occasion for quarrel, a rapid fire of denunciation began between them. ••You did step on my foot!" vociferated George. "You are a liar" shouted Bill. ^ "Boys, don't shoot, for Lord's sake!" shouted a score in concert The hitherto passive throng, was now in rolling, surging motion. The timid fell to the rear, and the bold toiled madly toward the danger-swirl L Spang! chaw on, I admit That we both love the gal more nor an ox team cud pull ef they had a down bill shoot on it, is certain. That both wud fling our Uvea, as worthless rags, at her feet, 1s ekally shore; but as to whether we'd be doin' the proper thing to do it is a matter to chaw on. But the matter must be settled some way. I believe the one she loves best orter have her, but she won't say. I believe I'm the one." "An* I, feet shore I'm the one."

The men stepped out, took places and confronted each other. They were to count three in concert, then tire. "One, two, three!,,r "Spang!" A ball passed through a lock of hair above Bill's left ear. He hadn't fired, and for good reason. When he went to cock his revolver the main spring had broken. He had pointed the weapon nevertheless, taking the risk of being killed rather than to explain an accident that George might regard a purposed act to avoid the duel. "We'll have to adjourn this case," sighed George, "until you kin git yer own pop." "Say, George," returned Bill, handing George the crippled weapon. "I've jest thought we kin settle this matter more satisfactory. Tillie, as well as she appears to love both, mout refuse ter marry the one that kills tother about her. Then we'd be in a nice shape—on© dead and tother wusser. Less fine out which one she really loves best; then let that lucky one give tother all his property to console him a little, and take her." "That'll be satisfactory to me—if we kin git a bill o' discovery, as the lawyers say, that will wuk." "Well, I think I've got it.

Everybody will be excited; the wlmmen will yell, an' pirty Tillie w411 come screamin' out to the one she loves best, an' beg him for her sake to put up his pop." "The very thing!" exclaimed George ilapplng a cloud of dust from his right. leg. • • * • • A great congregation bad gathered for Rev. Ball, the celebrated revivalist of Knott county, was to preach, and the report had drawn people as a suckhole draws chips from a broad territory. The house being filled, the grounds overflowed. Men and boys covered the turf in front and at the sides, as thickly as bees cling at the side of a gum on a hot morn of July—all ears eagerly poised. Nothing save the electric voice of the speaker, fell upon the vast quiet. y When thd preacher began to pitch his tone to the scale of concluding exhortation, Bill and George, as per previous arrangement came into the crowd from opposite directions. They were radiant in their new clothes, and their new boots announced their entrance through proud measured squeaks. Being the richest young men of the section, their appearance made heads of reverence sllentlr incline and a whis- "Boys, don't shoot, for God's sake!" The windows of the house *became mouths for rapidly expelling wads of color. The doorway was a choked channel for the emission of a feminine flood. Wild shrieks went up, and benches tumbled down. Dogs yelped, and white-faced, wild-eyed women cried: "Oh, Where's my baby?" or "Sal- He" or "Tommie," where are you?" A rolling commotion of voices on the outside finally killed all distinct expression. Bill's white-faced sister got to him, and seized him by the arm, but a big, firm hand pushed her back. The constable wedged his way to George, but he fell back limply against propping men, his face gushing blood. The justice of the peace, who commanded peace, found the peace of Bill's paralyzing fist. All was in swirling, roaring confusion when the thunderous voice of the preacher hrokfl ahova the crowd with the aweing power: "Ef ye ain't got no respect for me, an' the day, an' the I^ord, respect yer neighbors who now leave single life for the holy ways of matermony. I now peform a sarimony. Be ye silent in the face of this awful, sacred inordinance uv heaven's disposition. Jine han's Thomas Benton Brammer and Matilda Jane Susan Ann Adams!" Silence fell, and so did the spirits of Bill Garrison and George Peterson. They looked up at each other and though agony loaded their slow-chugging hearts, they smiled through sick, feeble lips as thought answered thought: "What fools us fellers be!" America's First Protestant Church, v The first Protestant church in America was made of the sails of Capt. John Smith's ship hung between the trees at Jamestown, Va. The pulpit was a stump and the congregation sat upon unhewn logs during the service until .1611, when a log cabin was erected under the direction of the governor, Sir Thomas Dale. In 1638 a brick structure fifty-six by twenty-eight fdet in dimensions, with a tower through which it was entered, eighteen feet square, -was built with the most substantial material, .as its endurance testifies. It was partially destroyed by fire in 1676, but was restored and occupied until 1723, when the capital was removed to Williamsburg.—Chicago Record-Herald. Church Yards in Bad Condition. Many of the church yards in tht Highlands are reported to be in a shocking condition. There has been a scandal in North Harris, where the sanitary authorities have had to step in and prevent the people from burying any more bodies in a small piece of ground, while the churchyard at Moraig, another small Highland place, is so full that it is described as simply mounds of human beings. The Highlanders have a great liking for laying their lost ones with those who have gone before and this accounts greatly for the over-crowding. This, ot course, applies only to the old paret chial cemeteries, as the newer ones are under government control, which stops or Is supposed to stop anything like overcrowding.

Uobert S. Fosburg was on trial for the alleged murder of bis sister, May Fosburg, at the family home in Pitt*- fteld, Mass. She was killed by a pistol shot The family claimed that burglars who broke into the house caused her death, but the chief of police of pittsftekl worked on the theory that Fosburg and bis father had a quarrel, and that May was accidentally killed while trying to make peace between tbem. No evidence had been adduced in the trial to support this theory, the family adhering to the burglar story, and their statements being unshaken by trossexaminatlon. Owing to the wealth and social standing of the Fosburgs, the case has attracted great attention. Without the knowledge of spectators and newspaper men, Charles E. Htbbard, senior counsel for the defense, moved late Thursday p. m. that Robert Fosburg be acquitted of the charge of manslaughter for which* he had been on trial for seven days. All the evidence had been put in and the court immediately adjourned, but counsel for both skies and Judge Stevens retired to the lobby, where Mr. Hibbard and District Attorney Hammond ar- £ue<l the motion.

If you're running a dairy,—be there one cow or one hundred— your profit dedends upon the quality of cream you're s?etting.v If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. By the old system of milk-betting you lose from ten to twenty per cent, of the cream, besides doing a lot of unnecssary work. Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change in temperture »ud consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because of the cream being the lighter it is forced to the top. You get all the cream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, the cream is smooth, sweet, firm and clean, and requires less than half the time formerly required to churn it. The butter is better, sweeter, and you get from ten to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. You can wash it in two minutes and have ready for the next milking. Taking it all iu all, it saves the women's work, costs less than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, jars, crocks, cans, etc., besides saving enough cream in one year to pay for itself tenfold.

Smith, long connected with the Michigan Agricultural college, as director of the experiment station and superintendent of institutes, has been elected president of the New Mexico College "of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts. He has not yet decided whether he will accept. Mr. Smith will speak at the Anderson farmers'club picnic Saturday. Go and hear him. —An exchange tells of the following plan to bait game fish; "Secure a glass jar—an ordinary half-gallon fruit jar will answer the purpose— and fill it with water, putting in the jar about a doxen nice minnows. Then fasten a piece of parchment over the mouth of thejar, making a number of holes in it, and go to the spot where you desire to fish and drop the jar into the water. Tie jar should have attached 10 it a small string and float so it may be located. The game fish will fairly swarm around the minnow and it loft alone for a day or two thev will become very hungry, and the minute you drop your hook into the water with-a rownow-oa it thoy will make a rush for it." Those who are spending several days at the lake could well afford to try it. THURSDAY AUGUST 15 "Will be a Big Day In Pinckney.

Spfee* O m t Abundance; Neither • Thero Any Such Pploe M the earn of Snob* Gave King* Solomon.'' « 1 ©fcronlolee IX: 9. fOMyrlget, ISM, by Lout* Klopsch, N. 7.] Washington, Aug. 4—In this dis- Dr. Talmage corrects come of false notions about religion and It as being joy inspiring inef dolorous. Text II. Chronicles faL, 9: "Of spices great abundance; •either was there any such spice as •the queen of Sheba gave King Soloi t What is. that building out yonder ^Uttering in the sun? Have you not 4eard? It is the house of the forest tf Lebanon. King Solomon has just taken to it his bride, the princess of €5gypt You see the pillars of the portico and a great tower, adorned with ij»M shields of gold hung on the outside of the tower—500 of the shields of fold manufactured at Solomon's orler, 500 were captured by David, his father, in battle. See how they blaze in the noonday sun! Solomon goes up the ivory stairs of •is throne between twelve lions in statuary and sits down on the back •f the golden bull, the head of the huge beast turned toward the people. Fhe family and the attendants of the ting are so many that the caterers of the palace have to provide every day IM sheep and thirteen oxen, besides the birds and the venison. I hear the stamping and pawing of 4,000 fine horses in the royal stables. There were important officials who had charge of the work of gathering the straw and the barley for these horses. King Solomon was an early riser, tradition says, and used to take a ride out at daybreak, and when, in his white apparel, behind the swiftest horses of all the realm and followed by mounted archers in purple, as the cavalcade dashed through the streets of Jerusalem I suppose it was something worth getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to look at. Seeing- tor Oneself. 'Qaeen Balkis was so pleased with ''the acuteness of Solomon that she said, T i l just go and see him for myself." Yewdea it comes—the cavalcade— horses and dromedaries, chariots and charioteers, jingling harness and clat- ' terini; hoofs and blazing shields and flying ensigns and clapping cymbals. The place is saturated with the perfume. She brings cinnamon and saf*- tron and calamus and frankincense and all manner of sweet spices. As the retinue sweeps through the gate ' the armed guard inhales the aroma. "Half!" cry the charioteers, as the wheels grind the gravel in front of the pillared portico of the king. Queen Balkis alights in an atmosphere bewitched with perfume. As the dromedaries are driven up to the king's storehouses, and the bundles of camphor are unloaded, and the sacks of < /Jnnamon and the boxes of spices are -opened, the purveyors of the palace • discover what my text announces: "Of spices, great abundance; neither was there any such spice as the queen of • Sheba gave to King Solomon." NWelL my friends, you know that all theologians agree in making Solomon a type of Christ and in making the Queen of Sheba a type of every truth aeeker, and I will take the responsibility of saying that all the 9piksnard and cassia and frankincense which the queen of Sheba brought to King Soloxnon are mightily suggestive of the sweet spices of our holy religion. Christianity is not a collection of : sharp technicalities and angular facts and chronological tables and dry statistics. Our religion is compared to frankincense and to cassia, but never to nightshade. It Is a bundle of myrrh. It is a dash of holy light. It is a -sparkle of cool fountains. It is an opening of opaline gates. It Is a collection of spices. Would God that we were as wise In taking spices to our Divine King as Queen Balkis was wise in taking the spices to the earthly Solomon. Christ Bring-1 Chturfnlness. How any woman keeps house without the religion of Christ to help her is a mystery to me. To have to spend the greater part of one's life, as many women do, in planning for the meals .and stitching garments that will soon be rent again and deploring breakages v-and supervising tardy subordinates and driving oft dust that soon again will settle and doing the same thing day l a aad day out and year in and year out «ntjil the hair silvers and the hack stoops and the spectacles crawl to the eyes and the grave breaks open wader the thin sole of the shoe—oh, It Is a long monotony! But when Christ esvmes ts the drawing room and comes /to the kitchen and comes to the nursery and cosies to the dwelling, then how cheery become all womanly du- ' ties! She Is never alone now. Martha brother, Rachel because^s can help her father'water the stock, fhe^widow of Sarepta because the cruse of oil is being replenished. O woman, having in your pantry a nest of boxes containing all kinds of condiments, why have you not tried in your heart and llfe> the splcery of our holy religion? "Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things, but one thing is needful, and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her." I must confess that a great deal of the religion of this day is utterly insipid. There is nothing piquant or elevating about it. Men and women go around humming psalms in a minor key and cultivating melancholy, and their worship has in it more sighs than raptures. We do not doubt their piety. Oh, no! But they are sitting at a feast where the cook has forgotten to season the food. Everything is flat In their experience and in their conversation. Emancipated from sin and death and hell and on their way to a magnificent heaven, they aet as though they were trudging on toward an everlasting Botany Bay. Religion does not seem to agree with them. It seems to catch in the windpipe and become a tight strangulation Instead of an exhilaration. All the infidel books that have been written, from Voltaire down fo Herbert Spencer, have not done so much damage to our Christianity as lugubrious Christians. Pat In More Spice*. I have to say also that we need to put more spice and enlivenment in our religious teaching, whether it be in the prayer meeting or in the Sunday school or in the church. We ministers need more fresh air and sunshine in our lungs and our heart and our head. Do you wonder that the world is so far from being converted when you find BO litle vivacity in the pulpit and in the pew? We want, like the Lord, to plant in our sermons and exhortations more lilies of the field. We want fewer rhetorical elaborations and fewer sesquipedalian words, and when we talk about shadows we do not want to say adumbration, and when we mean queerness wo do not want to talk about idiosyncrasies, or if a stitch in the back iwe do not want to talk about lumbago; but, in the plain vernacular of the great masses, preach that gospel which proposes to make all men happy, honest, victorious and free. • In other words, we want more cinnamon and less gristle. Let this be ; gets through fretting and joins Mary mualc ia appropriate for the drawing V'.\<K at the last of Jessus. All -day long Debora is happy because she can help Xapidoth, Hannah because she can a ooat for young Samuel, Miriam aha «a* watch her infant so in all the different depuUuienls ofwork to which the Lord calls us. Let us be plain. Let us be earnest. Let us be common sensical. When we talk to the people in a vernacular they can understand, they will be very glad to come and received the truth we present. Would to God that Queen Balkis would drive her spice laden dromedaries into all our sermons and prayer meeting exhortations! More than that, we want more life and spice in our Christian work. The poor do not want so much to be groaned over as sung to. With the bread and medicines and garments you give them let there be an accompaniment of smiles and brisk encouragement. Do not stand and talk to them about the wretchedness of their abode, and the hunger of their looks, and the hardness of their lot. Ah, they know it better than you can tell them. Show them the bright side of the thing, if there be any bright side. Tell them good times will come. Tell them that for the children of God there is immortal rescue. Wake them up out of their stolidity by an inspiring laugh, and while you send in help, like the queen of Sheba, also, send in the spices. There are two ways of meeting the poor. One is to come into their houoc with a nose elevated in disgust, as much as to say: "I don't see how you live here in this neighborhood. It actually makes me siok. . There is that oundle. Take it, you poor, miserable wretch, and make the most of it." Another way is to go into the abode of the poor in a manner which seems to say: "The blessed Lord sent me. H» was poor himself. It is not more for the good I am going to try to do you than it is for the good that you can do me." Coming in that spirit, the gift will be as aromatic as the spikenard, on the feet of Christ, and all the hovels on that alley will be fragrant with the spice. Staffing »• ft Religion* Doty. I promise a high spiritual blessing to any one who will sing in church and who will sing so heartily that the people all around cannot help but sing. Wake up, all the churches from Bangor' to San Francisco and across Christendom! It is not a matter of preference. It is a matter of religious duty. Oh, for fifty times more the volume of sound than has ever yet rolled up from our churches! German chorals in German cathedrals surpass us, and yet Germany has received nothing at the hands of God compared with America. And ought the ac/ claim in Germany be louder than that of America? Soft, long drawn out heaven he cays: "I hear a great voice as the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings. Halleluiah, for the Lord God omnipotent relgneth!" Join with me in a crusade,, giving me not only your hearts, but the mighty uplifting of your voices, and I believe we can through Christ's grace sing 6,000 souls into the kingdom of Christ. An argument they can laugh at, a sermon they may talk down, but a 5,000-voiced utterance of praise to God is irresistible. Would that .Queen Balkis would drive all her spice-laden dromedaries into our church music! The Btmedjr for Sorrow. Why did you look so sad this morning when you came in? Alas, for the loneliness and the heartbreak and the load that is never lifted from your soul! Some of you go about feeling like Macaulay when he wrote, "If I had another month of such days as I have been spending, I would be impatient to get down into my little, narrow crib in the ground, like a weary factory child." And there have been times in your life when you wished you could get out of this life. You have said, "Oh, how sweet to my lips would be the dust of the valley!" and wished you could pull over you in your last slumber the coverlet of green grass and daisies. You have said: "Oh, how beautifully quiet it must be In the tomb! I wish I was there." I see all around about me widowhood and orphanage and childlessness; sadness, disappointment, perplexity. If I could ask all those in any audience who have felt no sorrow and been buffeted by no disappointment—if I could ask all such to rise, how many would rise? Not one. A widowed mother, with her little child, went west, hoping to get better wages there, and she .was taken sick and died. The overseer of the poor got her body and put it in a box and put it in a wagon and started down the street toward the cemetery at full trot. The little child—the only childran after it through the streets bareheaded, crying: "Bring me back my mother! Bring me back my mother!" And it was said that as the people looked on and saw her crying after that which lay in the box in the wagon, all she loved on earth—it is said the whole village was in tears. And that is what a great many of you are doing—chasing the dead. Dear TinrA, is t.hp.rft no appeasement for all mfnmtimm WILL WE MAKB LIFE? THE NEW CENTURY MAY VEAL THIS MARVEL.

Yes; the thought of resurrection and reunion far beyond this scene of struggle and tears. "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them nor any heat, for the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall lead them to living fountains of water, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." Across the couches of your sick and across the graves of your dead I fling this shower of sweet spices. Queen Balkis, driving up to the pillared portico of the house of cedar, carried no such pungency of perfume as exhales to-day from the Lord's garden. It is peace. It is sweetness. The Mont Blagnkttoeut Temple. Have you read of the Taj Mahal, in India, in some respects'the most majestic building on earth? Twenty thousand men were twenty years in building it. It cost about 116,000,000. The walls are of marble inlaid with carnelian from Bagdad and turquoise from Tibet and jasper from the Punjab and amethyst from Persia and all manner of precious stones. A traveler said that it seemed to him like the shining of the enchanted castle of burnished silver. The walls .are 245 feet high, and from the top of these springs a dome 30 more feet high, that dome containing the most wonderful echo the world has ever known, so that ever and anon travelers standing below with flutes and drums and harps are testing that echo, and the sounds from below strike up, and then come down, as it were, the voices of angels all around about the building. There is around it a garden of tamarind and banyan and palm and all the floral glories of the ransacked earth. But that is only a tomb of a dead empress, and it is tame compared with the grandeurs which God has bullded for your living and immortal spirit. Oh, home of the blessed! Foundations of gold! Arches of victory! Capstones of praise! And a dome in which there are echoing and re-echoing the halleluiahs of the ages! And around about that mansion is a garden, the garden of God, and all the springing fountains are the bottled tears of the church in the wilderness and all the crimson of the flowers is the deep hue that was caught up from the carnage of earthly martyrdoms and the fragrance is the prayer of all the sainta and the aroma puts Into utter forgetfulness the cassia and the spikenard and the frankincense and the world renowned spices which Queen Balkis of Abyssinia flung at the feet of King Solomon. When shall these eyes thy heaven built walls And pearly gates behold, Thy bulwarks, with salvation strocg, And streets of shining gold? The famous Professor Haeckel says that/man will some day Learn how to make life—that he will know how "to produce a living substance by artificial processes." Perhaps the new century may hold in reserve this greatest marvel, which will enable the physiological chemist to assume the role of a creator. It may be only in a small way, but it will be wonderful none the less. After all, the problem Is simply to create a bit of protoplasm, which is the basis of all life, the clay of the potter—the substance, in short, out of which all animals and plants are built up. And surely that ought not to be so very difficult, considering what very ordinary stuff protoplasm is. Take a spoonful of the white of an egg, and you have it, practically. White of egg, in fact, is nearly pure protoplasm. The composition of protoplasm being absolutely known, the chemist has no great trouble in imitating it So many parts of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon are put together, and there you are. Artificial protoplasm has been made of albuminous substances and oils, and the product has actually had a movement of its own simulating life; but the movement was due merely to chemical causes. Viewed under the microscope, the stuff had exactly the same apparent structure as protoplasm, but there was no life in it, and no reproductive principle. The difference between a thing living and a thing dead is not a matter of structure or chemical composition—the two may be exaetly the same in both respects— but in the ability which the living thing has to renew its own cells and propagate fresh ones. Blood taken out of the veins of a living animal is the same as the blood that remains in the veins, but the latter is continually developing new corpuseles —is alive, in bther words—while the former does nothing of the kind. Why is it so? In the answer to that question lies the arch-se6ret of Dame Nature's laboratory. It has never been plausibly guessed at as yet, hut there Is no good reason for taking it for granted that It will never be found out. Prof. Haeckel calls attention to the fact that in trying to create life man is only making an effort to accomplish what the plants In anybody's garden are doing all the time. They take so many parts of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen and convert them into protoplasms^ the living substance. Science can combine these elements just as nature does, the proportions being exactly known, but not yet so as to produce life. "But f believe firmly," says the great physiologist, " hat the problem will some day be solved, and the artificial production of life become an accomplished fact." If a drop of blood be drawn by pifckiug one's finger and viewed under a high microscopic power there will be seen> among numerous little disc-shaped bodies which float in it and give it its red color, a comparatively smaller number of somewhat larger colorless bodies of irregular shape. If the drop be kept at the temperatnre of living blood theso colorless corpuscles will be seen to exhibit a marvelous activity, changing their forms with great rapidity, drav/ing in and thrusting out prolongations of their substance, and creeping about as if they were independent. organisms. Each is a tiny mas3 of protoplasm, and ha3 a nucleus of its ov/n. It is a structural unit of the human being taking shape as an aggregation of such corpuscles. It is the same way with all other animals, though they are built up on different structural forms, and some, like the amoeba, are so low down in the scale of creation as to consist' of but one such cell. A plant is able to take carbolic acid, water, and nitrogenoussalts, and convert them into proto^ plasm. That is the way in which, vegetable organisms grow. An animal cannot do this, and so would starve in the presence of any quantity of such raw materials.—Philadelphia Times. A OYCLONi IN MAHlTiUD., Klne-»oo| Walts *•«•*»<!

Approa hlng a corner of a street which had been particularly. Ill-treated, in company with my private secretary, we perceived behind a hurricane shutter, which had been: wrenched from its window, and wast lying half on the ground and half propped against a crumbling wall, some three or four disheveled heads bobbing up and down In an anxious manner. A discreet Inquiry provedi the heads to belong to a family of respectable Creole ladles, whose sufferings had proved small in presence of the agonies they were then undergoing, seeing that for twenty-four hours they had had no food, and were so painfully conscious of their nudity that even to satisfy the pangs of hunger modesty forbade their utilizing the only article of clothing left to them, viz., their boots, and make a run to the nearest standing house.—The Empire Review. Hie Honey Wae Mtestnp. The* Kansas City Journal tells this story: "Frank Anderson was for years a well-known commercial traveler who made Galena, He was passionately fond of honey, and the proprietor of the hotel at Galena, at which he always stopped, always had some on hand for him. On one trip Anderson took his wife along, and as they approached Galena he mentioned to her that he was getting to a place where they could have some honey. When the pair wore sitting at the supper table that night no honey appeared, and An* derson said sharply to the head waiter? 'Where is my honey? The waiter sail* ed and said: 'You s»ean the little black-haired one? Oh, the doni work here now.'" It Pny« to Read Kewapaper*. Cox, Wis., Aug. 6th.—Frank M.

The wild ass may almost be saixi to be the antithesis of the domestic species. The one is high-spirited and untamable, the other the meekest and most submissive of quadrupeds; the one is as remarkable for its speed as the other for its slowness; and while the wild specimen ranks among the most graceful animals of creation, its every* movement typical of the untrammeled freedom of the desert over which it loves to roam, and of the unfettered breath of heaven, which seems to lend it wings,, its siihdugated congener is awkward and: ungainly. ln» color Vttt) roulan, or .jwfld ass, is a creamy white, shading to fawn on the back, with a handsome darker stripe running from wither to tail, and a corresponding marking on each forearm; the head and muzzle are finely molded, the ears less long and pointed than those in the tame donkey and eyes large and prominent and ae bright as those of the gaselle, and the legs resemble in length and lightness those of the deer. Wild asses congregate in herds of from sixty to seventy; snd it is said by the natives that there is generally but one male in every herd. It is even, rare to find a male among the young ones captured. No pettier sight can be seen than one of these herds careering over the plain sending up the solt spray like a shower of crystal In their flight Theirs is the very poetry of motion, hut the sight is too transient, their neatness of foot carrying them out of the range of vision long before the enjoymeU that their beauty gives U satiated,. ;.v ' . ; , / ' • • - . , > #t" * * UP '«!?. mmm^mm. •JPPP • ' ' i «• •• * » ' v ' ^•fe1 : * • • : A* § mm? :¾ : * # > ••?U' • * * • • * ^ ¾ 7- *£* • • ^ • • A : ' ' t w-,:. ..(. -v A- — — P « ^6e Scourge * • A Story of the E*xst... SYLVANUS C O B B . JR. Copyrlfbted WW by Eobert Bonner's Son*. CHAPTER VI. * It was pear noon, and the k i n ; of Damascus was In hie chamber with Aboul Caaaem. They were talking about the approaching marriage. "In three daya more," said Horam, "I shall claim her for my bride," "In truth, sire, it is as you have said/' replied the minister. He Bpoke net with the enthusiasm of appreciation,' hut as one who would not dispute his king. "I trust, sire, your hopas may find their fruition. I pray that Ulin may bear to thee a son, and thus make bright and promising the evening of your Ufa" "Good Aboul, I trust In thy words. Ha! what now? "Whom have we here?" "Sire, "spoke a. page, "the Israelite, Judah Is without, and would speak with thee." "Howl" cried the king. "Is it the Judah whom 1 sent from the Valley of Lycanrosr* **The same, sire."* **The*n send him to me at once. By my life, Aboul, "he cannot have accomplished his mission so soon. I dare not Tiope -BO.*" "Let -us Tiope IOT the best," suggested the minister; and before further remark could be made Judah stood In the royal presence. • "Ha, Judah—do I see thee back so soon? "Have you come 'to bring me word of failure?" "Nay, sire," replied the Israelite, "I have come to bring the robber chieftain t o Damascus." "Have you taken him ?" "Yes. sire." "Alive?" "Yes, sire:" "And have him here?" "Ready to be brought before you at any time." "He is bound?" "Yes, sire." "Then bring him at once. By the host of Pluto, I would see the fellow. But—hold. He is guarded?" '^Xe*r sire. nsmir and Selim are •with him." "Are they all?" "It needs no more. The prisoner is securely bound, and can offer no resistance." "Then let him come;" "Ye gods!" Uttered Horam, turning to his minister, after Judah had gone, "what manner of man shall we behold?" "I cannot guess, sire:" "A giant, r think—as ugly as a Cylop. But he is bound, Aboul—he is bound." In a little while the door opened, and Judah entered, followed by Osmir and Selim, who led a bound man between them. "Sire," spoke the Israelite, "this is the prisoner." "But where is Julian?" demanded Horam. "This is Julian." "This?" cried the monarch, taking a step forward, and gazing into the face of the bound man before him. 'This?' he repeated, in a lower tone, advancing another step, and gazing more earnestly upon the bold, open, youthful face. "This is not Julian." T h i s is he who hath commanded the robber band," said Judah. "Aye—and I am he whom you have called the Scourge of Damascus," spoke the prisoner, standing proudly erect, and gazing full into the face of the king. *1 am Julian, the enemy of Horam, and the avenger of wrongs done years ago." The monarch, as he gazed more intently upon those features, and as the tones of that Toice fell upon his ear, seemed startled by the memory of some old dream. And Aboul Cassem was not entirely uninterested. The old minister gazed as fixedly and as earnestly upon the face of the young chieftain as did his royal master; and he, too, seemed puzzled and perplexed. *"" "Who are you?" asked Horam. "I am Julian, the Scourge." "But what else?" "You should know what else, most mighty king. I have tried to make myself felt by you." "But," urged rtoram, taking no notice of the robber's tone, "why have you cought to harm me? Who are you that can have cause for such enmity?" "I am one who knows the bitterness of deepest wrong," replied Julian. "Fa-' tberless and motherless came I from the feeble steps of childhood; and I know that Horam was the murderer of my parents." "Ha!" cried the king, with a start. "Who were your parents?' ' "•I will not speak their names in your presence."1 "Beware, robber! I may compel you io answer." . "If you have power to extract answers from dead men, yon may force answers from me." "By the gods, thou art Insolent." "Then bind my tongue, as these slaves have bound my arms." "No," said Horam, struggling with his passion. "I have another plan. The secret which you will not speak to me you shall never speak. You siiall follow your parents with all possible speed. Judah!" "I am here, sire." "You know the deepest, darkest dungeon, where the most dreaded prisoners are confined?" "Yes, sire." "Conduct this man thither. Plunge him into the very bowels of the deepest cavern, where the doors are of iron,^ and the bolts of triple steel, and see that he is kept safely there until the morrow. You will answer for him with your life.", "Once more tho king gazed into that youthful face, and then turned away to a window. "Sire," spoke the minister, after the prisoner had been conducted away, "why do you spare £hat man for even another hour? Why do you not execute him at once?" "Because," replied Horam, starting up, "I have a curiosity to know who he is. There is some mystery in that face of his. It is now near the hour of the council, and I have not time to think. I must see him again. Did you not mark something peculiar in his look?" "Yes, sire; there is something in his face which is familiar to me; or, at ^least, it seems so." "By my life, Aboul, it must be so. Did you mark that bold front; that open brow; that Jove-like sweep of nose and chin? and did you mark the deep lustrous eyes, and the gentle curling of that sunny hair?" "Yes, sire." "And can you not read its 3ecret?" "No. Can your majesty?" "Not yet—not yet, Aboul; but I must I have a wt.rangft.piirfnsity; and it \* a j did not refuse. When ho talked of I my being queen, and of my giving birth to a king to a king of Damascus, I thought It might be my duty to offer myself. I did not then know Horam. But—now—I have learned new things, fc dread the fata which I have courted. I fear and loath* the man whose wife I have promised to become. When I first promised to give myself to Horam I felt that I could perform the duty without the sacrifice of any real virtue or' comfort of life. But, oh, how changed it has all' become. Not only does my whole nature shrink from the sacrifice, but it seems as though a fate worse than death were involved in the ordeal. Last night I dreamed that Horam was my husband, and that he meant to kill me. He did not plan to drown me, as he did poor Helena; but he declared that I should be thrown alive into a den of wild beasts. It makes you shudder, Albia," "Oh, how terrible!'" "And yet, my dear girl, I dreamed that I felt a relief when I knew that death was coming, even though it was to come so dreadfully. Just think what -a state of mind that must be. Oh, it is horrible! Dear Albia, I know not what to do." "Have you told me all?" whispered the bondmalden, winding her arm about her mistress' neck, and kissing her upon the brow. "Have I not told you enough?" returned Ulin, covering her face with her hands. "Not if there is more to tell, dear lady. You have trusted me this far— trust me with all. You have told me that you dread the king; and I do not wonder at this. You cannot have forgotten that I spoke against the union from the first. It seemed to me unnatural. But, lady, there is something more." "Nothing more which I dare to tell, Albia. Nay—do not ask me. I have told you all that I can tell. And now I ask you—what can I do? The fatal SB* curiosity which has been stransHy and suddenly excited." CHAPTER VII. At Hassem's House. Ulin had lost none of her wondrous beauty; but she had become pale, and the healthy flash of the eye was gone. Late in the evening she sat in her chamber, with her brow resting upon her hand, and ever and anon a deep sigh escaped her. "My dear, good mistress," spoke Albia, gliding to the side of the princess, and resting her hand affectionately upon her arm, "I cannot bear to see you suffer so. What is it?" "It is nothing, Albia." Ulin spoke without raising her head, and her voice was low and sad. "Don't tell me that," urged the attendant. She got down upon her knees, and gazed earnestly up into Ulin's face. "Oh, my dear lady, you are miserable and unhappy. Why will you not pour out your sorrows to me? Perhaps I can help you bear them. You know I love you; you know that I will be faithful. Tell me all, and I will suffer with you if I can; and I will help you if there is help to be had. As I live at this moment, so, if it should appear to me necessary, would I lay down my life for your welfare. Will you not trust me?" "Ulin leaned her head forward upon Albia's shoulder, and burst into tears. "Oh, Albia, you are my friend—you are my sister. I know you love me; and I cannot tell you how grateful I am." "They why will you not lift the veil from your sorrow, and allow me to feel still more for you?" "I had almost resolved to tell you, •Albia." "Then make the resolution sure, and admit me to your fullest confidence." The princess dried her eyes, and finally lifted her head from her companion's shoulder. "Dear Albia, I know not how to commence. I am a child—a poor, foolish child—as you will say when I have told you all. You will say that I deserve to suffer, and that punishment should be mine." "Nay, my lady," responded the bondmaiden; "you must not commence in that way. Tell me first all the cause of your sorrow; and leave it for me to base my own judgment. Come—trust me, and let me give you all my sympathy." A few moments the princess was silent, and then she said, with a low tremor in her voice: "Dear Albia, when I said that I would marry with the king I did not think what I was doing. That strange dream, so wonderfully repeated, led my father to broach the subject, and I have promised to give myself to the king." ' "There is one thing you can do, my mistress—one thing alone, which I can see." "Speak, Albia." "You can flee." "Flee!" repeated Ulin, in a startled whisper. "There is but one other course open to you.' MEMBER OF FRnu CONGRESS mn ISLANDS • : / . . . > » Cured of Catarrh of the Stomaclr by Pe-ru-na. yuiitmniuiuiimuu in 1 uutii Humming v : CONGRESSMAN R. W.

T Vrf Pincsn»y A Joseph Paul, writing in the Standard about the abolition of the canteen in the British army hi India, says: "Knowing the terrible amount of drinking in tbe army in India, and that druukeuuess is tbe father of many other vices, and seeing the evangalistic work met with so much opposition on the part of many officers, Sir Frederick determined to remedy these evils. Accordingly, a thorough reformation in the canteen system was attempted. And no one outside of the army knows what a gigantic undertaking this was. Where formerly men sat within bare walls and at dirty benches drinking bad beer from tiu pots, which they carried to and from their barrack-rooms, and with absolutely nothing to divert their minds from drinkirjg, there sprang up decorated walls, clean floors, covered tables, glasses, innocent games and reading matter, all of which taught the soldier something of self-respect After awhile the coffee shop, which hitherto had been in the hands of Mohammedans, was taken up by the soldiers themselves and greatly improved in cleanliness, respectability and attractiveness. The temperance coffee sbopB, too, came to a recognized institution and received a due share of attention. Here men could spend a quiet evening reading, writing letters, sipping a cup of tea or coffee, or even have a substantial meal served. No half-drunken comrade could molest the self-respecting man here. To my personal knowledge, the regimental savings band in the Lucknow cantonments received a marked increase in the number of depositors as a result of these changed conditions. In fact, men began to see that someone cared for them and desired to elevate them socially and morally.

D o you send them to the Chicago bouse? Suppose everyone sent to Chicago for their supplies, how long could the home merchant stay in business? Suppose they were all obliged to shut up shop and you were obliged to go thirty or forty milss to market your produce, how mueh would your farm be 'worth compared with to-day? Just revolve these ideas over in your mind and ask yourself the question, 'Does it pay to buy in Chicago even if I can save a few cents on a dollar?' If you conclude that it does, the next time that you get bard up and need a Jittle credit, just write the Chicago house and ask for it. When you have a little produce to bell, write and get their price. You will find they do business for cash only and have no use for your credit or produce.," wmmm • i.fiiii 3 A little Jackson girl has written the following QBsay about boys; u The boy is not an animal, yet they can be heard to a considerable distance.

The young msm was a member of the 11)04 engineering class of the University of Michigan and was improving his lime this s,unimer with the practical side of civil engineering by working us a rodman for the Michigan Central in this department. Assistant Engineer H. H. Adams, in speaking of the accident, said: "It was simply a case of Henry's mistake in supposing that the passenger train would ,comc In on the other track. I was at least 500 feet away from him ami when the train rushed by me and I saw Henry walking on the wrong track and with his back to the train 1 yelled at him 1o get off, but the noise of the train drowned my voice. His attention was not attracted, at least he never looked around and the engine struck him. The train made enough noise to alarm him if he had had any idea that he was on the wrong track. "Judging from the visible injuries, his head must have struck one of the rails, breaking his neck.

The meeting of the steel warkera* representatives with thoae of the iteel trust on Saturday in New York was. futile and this dispatch sept out ttfls the whole story: "It will be a fight to the finish. No quarter will be given. /Wo are prepared to spend all the money and time necessary to. wipe out the Amalgamated Association in all of our mills." The Amalgamated Association ^ is this: "All negotiations with the United States Steel corporation are closed as far as our association is concerned. We came here hopeful that the conference would mark the close of the struggle. We return now to renew the struggle. Now the matter will be fought to a final issue unless we are *ent for by the officials of the corporation." The 400,000 employes of the United States Steel corporation may feel the strike. The American Federation of Labor may call out its thousands who handle the corporation's products; .structural steel workers may refuse to handle steel from trust mills and miners to dig coal for them. Unless It Is speedily broken by the United States Steel corporation, the strike nnd Its results will be felt over the whole United States.

This modification was mode* because the trust officials declared the Amalgamated officials wished 1o force men into tho organization against their will and desire. T h e Sen ley IlHiTTtry Secretary Long is having some difficulty in selecting a rear admiral to take the place of Rear Admiral Kimberley, of the Schley court of inquiry. It is said that there is hardly another officer in the service who has not expressed- his opinion of the controversy. Many names have been suggested, the most prominent that of Rear Admiral Luce. Luce, however, is disqualified. At a recent dinner he said in a speech that there should be but one vice admiral, and that one William T. Sampson. Indirectly be has expressed himself still more strongly so that his bias is considered to be beyond question. Secretary Long, in bis desire to be perfectly fair, AVIU. therefore, not appoint Luce. Cnpt. Parker, assistant counsel for Schley, has intimated thpt^ the defense will turn the court of In-^ quiry into a trial of Sampson as well as of Schley.

(Copyright, 1901, Dally Story Pub. Co.) W3ienJued^etier^w«nt_westto_help ^the country grow up, Rose Hawthorne thought her heart was broken. This was a logical sequence of the firm conviction that she could not live without Jared, which had led her to engage herself to him. In accordance with this fixed Idea, she, for a day or two, refused food, and mournfully contemplated tho prospect of an early demise. But an immature mind cannot long dominate a young and healthy physique. On the third day she made several surreptitious visits to the pantry; on the fourth day she dined openly and heartily; and the day after she was startled by the discovery that she had not thought of Jared for several hours. The Sunday following Jared's departure, she permitted Harold Winterset, the son of a wealthy manufacturer from a neighboring city, to accompany her home from church and linger for an hour at the gate; and she was again startled by the discovery that she en- Joyed his society quite as much as Jared's. Then she went upstairs and sat down in the moonlit window to consider. She had all the rules of love at her s fingers' ends. She knew that "Absenee makes the heart grow fonder," that true love never forgets or wavers for the fraction of a second. She was therefore forced to the conclusion that "Vie did not love Jared; that she never had loved him; and the manufacturer's had found his chief occupation in tracing his own characteristics in the growing boy. "He's a Peters, every inch of him," gran'ther would shout when Jared's boyish achievements creditable or otherwise, came to his notice. Gran'ther Peters had always liked Rose; and of all the grils in the country round, he would have chosen her for Jared. When, therefore, at the age of sixteen, Jared first walked home from church with her, gran'ther retired to the grape arbor and chuckled till he was black in the face. He did all he could to foster the budding romance; and when the engagement was formally announced, his rapture nearly caused a fit of apoplexy. When a tattling neighbor brought the news of Rose's double-dealing, the old man flatly refused to believe!_iti__but summer twiHght an inky black; and variftji'MM • M M continual flash©* of lightning iliuminated Jared's handsome, melaneholy face and sombre eyes. He sat opposite hi* false sweetheart,and Harold; and behind him, the old man, white* faced but firm-lipped, glared over his boy's head like a wounded lion. As, Jared's ead, mellow voice died away with a little break—he felt a pang of genuine emotion as be remembered poor Wiley's face with the bullet hole in the forehead—Rote's heart melted. All that was sweet and womanly and good In her untutored soul rose i to the surface. She crossed the piasza, and laying her hand on Jared's shoulder, resolutely faced her frowning parents and the chagrined Harold. "X shall stand by Jared/' she said, in ringing tones. Jared started to his feet In dismay. This climax was precisely the opposite of the one he had courted and expected. The face of the dimpled Kansas girl flitted across his memory, and in his own heart. The two young things who had been playing with the eternal verities of love and death, looked into each other's eyes, and, by the white light of the approaching storm, saw there that which made them afraid and ashamed of what they had been doing—saw the dawn of an everlasting affection—the affection that mocks disaster, and calmly ignores doubters and detractors, as the placid moon Ignores the yellow dog that bays It. Gran'ther's face was convulsed with delight. Tears of Joy meandered unheeded down his wrinkled cheeks, as, glaring at the dsicomfited Harold, he raised his staff and brought it down with a force that split it in twain. "She's a Peters, every inch of her," he roared. "Leastways, she soon will be." Rose was somewhat shocked when she learned that Jared's woes were all assumed; and that he~had prudently wnen witn his own eyes, he saw Rose and Harold strolling by, arm in arm, in the dusk, he took to his bed. After two or three days of misery, mental and physical, he arose and spent an entire afternoon in inditing a letter which struck consternation to Jared's soul. It was vague in manner and matter, but he gathered from it some Inkling of the truth; and immediately wrote—not to Rose, but to one of her girl friends. By return mail he received a spicy and perhaps not unexaggerated account of Rose's "carryings on." Now Jared, absorbed in speculation as he was, had kept a little corner of his heart for Rose; and thought himself a miracle of constancy because ae had not allowed another to share Tt—There are pretty girls in Kanaaa; and there was one in particular, with wondrous dimples, that he had noticed, just barely noticed, you know—so he made the customary remarks about female perfidy. He wrote Rose a biting letter-^and_.lQre it np4- for- -a—subtler revenge had occurred to him. He divined that Rose preferred him . to Harold—if he succeeded in making money; and he plotted accordingly. From this date his correspondence took on a dismal hue. The boom was declining; and there were vague hints of pitfalls that ensare the unwary and the inexperienced. Close on the heels of these dire forebodings, followed a rumor that Jared had come home unexpectedly, locking very seedy; and it was surmised, "dead broke." * Friends and neighbors, Rose and Harold among them, promptly gathered on the broad piazza to greet thehome comer, and learn the truth of the matter. One glance at the young man's doleful face was enough. Disaster was written on it. At first he seemed disinclined to talk; but numerous well put queries finally loosened his unwilling tongue. Among the friends Jared made In the west was one who had been born under an unlucky star. He was intelligent and shrewd; but everything he touched turned to ashes. Where others reaped golden harvests, he reaped misfortune, and his affairs became seriously 'involved. He was too young to know that while there Is life there is hope; and one night, Jared, who roomed with him, came home to find his friend stretched on the floor with a bullet through his head, and t h e empty revolver in his own stiffening right hand. With the callousness of youth, Jared adapted this young-fellow's story to his own uses. Up to the/ culminating tragedy, he told it as his own, and told It well. He was a clever actor, and fully realised the dramatic possibilities of the situation. The stage setting was perfect A. rising thunderstorm had dyed the "I Shall Stand by Jared." escaped from the collapsing boom with the neat little nest egg of one hundred thousand dollars; but she became reconciled to the situation in time.

From the day It was declared that the red-faced mite of humanity called Jaqsd was the Imafe of his grandfather, the oM man made of oak, in .the cottages of the village folk. These pieces of furniture have been handed down from generation to generation of rural folk sucb as carters, keepers, woodmen and shepherds. How^did the"Ta'm'ily" originally come by them? The explanation is this in many cases: Generations ago, when the furniture, which is once again prized greatly, began tc go out of fashion and to be superseded by stuff which we view with contempt nowadays, it was sold and farmers bought much of it. But by and by. the farmer being prosperous, and desiring to be in the fashion, too, like his landlord, bought in its place more modern chairs and tables, etc. Then the village folk bought for a song the despised oak chairs, coffers, etc., and now, once again, the old furniture has come into favor and is finding its waj back from the cottage to the hall — London Express.

Dr. Saunders of Canada says that tbe. awnless brouie grass has proved of great value in tbe northwest and baa practically sofveU tbe question, so important tfeere in mixed farming, ot obtaining good pastures Tbe brome graw Is quite hardy, gives excellent crops, and after two or three years it is found to thicken up so much that while tbe crop of hay is less, the undergrowth becomes so thick tLat It produces good pasture for the greater part- of the year. It starts to gnpw very early in tbe spring and continues to grow very late in tbe season, so that it is a very advantageous crop for tbe farmer, and a largo number of tbe northwest settlers now bave a few acres of land in this brome grass. The grass grows in a great variety of soils. It does well on good, rich land, it accommodates itself^ to almost any kind of soil and will stand any amount of cold weather. In the northern part of Russlu, where tbe people ,have long depended mainly ou brome grass for hay, it is said to grow on all sorts of soil. According to Dr. Saunders, "There is very little difficulty in getting rid of the roots if it Is, plowed under at the proper time—that is, in the autumn or early in the spring. If it is plowed later in the season, when there Is an abundance of rain, the roots will sometimes start again, but we have practically found no difficulty here, and In the northwest the strong, fibrous roots of this grass have been found of great advantage from the abundance of fibers which It produces. These permeate the soil to a depth of three or four inches, so that when a piece of brome grass land is plowed under the soil Is not liable to blow in windy weather, as is the case with ordinary summer fallow. . - "I saw this year at Indian Head some five acres of brome grass land which had been plowed. under carrying a crop of barley which did not seem to have suffered at nil from the action of the wind, although it was In a very exposed place.

The heads are 8 to 12 inches high, rounded at the ends, tirm and weigh from *12 to 24 ounces each. In quality this, variety is hardly Burpassed by any kind of lettuce. It is customary to tie the leaves together when the heads are forming, although when the plants are well grown this is not always necessary. Other varieties closely resembling the above and which appear to be hardly distinct from It are the Trianon Cos and the Paris Self Folding Cos. The White Heart and Dwarf White Heart, If distinct varieties, differ but little from the Paris White Cos and are inferior to it. The Paris Green Cos Is a little deeper green than the Paris White and the plant not quite so large, but matures « few days earlier. Balloon Cos has leafy plants and the heads not very firm even when tied. Ground Cos Is a dwarf variety, intermediate between Paris White and Asparagus Cos. Asparagus Cos has little value as a garden esculent, although some people like the fleshy midribs, which are tender, juicy and peculiarly pleasing to the taste if gathered just before the blossom stalks show in tbe center of the plants.

If you're running a dairy,—be there one cow or one hundred— your profit dedemls upou the quality of cream you're getting. If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. By the old system of milk-setting you lose from ten to twenty per cent, of the cream, besides doing a lot of unnecssary work. Cold water is added to the warm mi He and the sudden change in tempertnre aud consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because of the cream being the lighter it is forced to the top. ' - You get all the cream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, the cream is smooth, sweety firm and -'clean, and requires less than half the time formerly required to churn it. x The butter is better, sweeter, and you get from ten to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. You can wash it in two minutes and have ready for the next milking. Taking it all iu all, ii saves the women's work, costs less than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, jars, crocks, cans, etc., besides saving enough cream in one year to pay for itself tenfold.

V I M All the Flocks Are "Gathered Tojptthe^~ Whjr Some Aw Kept Back— Trust la God's Providence — Christ's (Eternal JFoontains—To the Gospel Well. lOonrrlgftt, W01, by Louis Klopscb, N. T.J Wwkinston, Aug. 11.—In this discourse Dr. Talmage represents religion M ft greet refreshment and invites all the world to come and receive it; t e x t Geaesia xxix, 8, "We cannot until nil the flocks be gathered together and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep." A scene in Mesopotamia, beautifully pastoral. A well of water of great value in that region. The fields around about it white with three flocks of «i\eep lying down waiting for the watering. I hear their bleating coming on the bright air and the laughter of young men and maidens indulging in rustic repartee. I look off, and I see other flocks of sheep coming. Meanwhile Jacob, a stranger, on the interesting errand of looking for a wife, comes to the well. A beautiful shepherdess comes to the same well. I see her approaching, followed by her father's flock of sheep. It was a memorable meeting. Jacob married that shepherdess. The Bible account of it is, "Jacob kissed Rachel and lifted up his voice and wept." It has always been a mystery to me what he found to cry about! But before that scene occurred Jacob accosts the shepherds «nd asks them why they postpone the slaking of the thirst of these sheep and why they did not immediately proceed to water them. The shepherds reply to the effect: "We are all good neighbors, and as a matter of courtesy we wait until all the sheep of the neighborhood come up. Besides that, this stone on the well's mouth is somewhat heavy, and several of us take hold of it and push it aside, and then the buckets and the troughs are filled and the sheep are satisfied. We -cannot until all the flocks are gathered together and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep." Coming: t o t h e Gospel Well. If a herd of swine come to a well, they angrily jostle each other for the precedence; if a drove of cattle come to a well, they hook each other back from the water, but when a flock of -sheep come, though a hundred of them shall bo disappointed, they only -^xprnnp H >~>y RM heating they come together peaceably. We want a great multitude to come around the gospel well. I know there are those who do not like a coward; they think a crowd is vulgar. If they are oppressed for room In church, it makes them positively impatient and belligerent. We have had people permanently leave • church because so many other people •come to It. Not so did these oriental shepherds. They waited until all the flocks were gathered, and the more flocks that came the better they liked it. And so we ought to be anxious that all the people should come. Go out Into the highways and the hedges and compel them to come in. Go to the rich and tell them they are indigent without the gospel of Jesus. Go to the poor and tell them the affluence there is in Christ. Go to the blind aud tell them of the touch that gives eternal Illumination. Go to the lame and tell them of the joy that will make the lame man leap like a hart. Gather all the sheep off all the mountains. None 'so torn uf the doga-r-Boae-HSO-^sirk. none so worried, none so dying, as to bo omitted. Why not gather a great flock? All this city in a flock, all Now \OT\\ in a flock, all London in a flock, ail the world in a flock. This well of the gospel is deep enough to put out the burning thirst of the 1,600,000,000 of the race. Do not let the church by a spirit of exclusivenesa keep the world out. Let down all the bars, swing open all the gates, scatter all the invitations. ."Whosoever will, let him come." Come, white and black. Come, red men of the forest. Come, Laplander, out of the snow. Come, Patagonian, out of the south. Come in furs. Come panting under palm leaves. Come one. Come all. Come now. As at this well of Mesopotamia Jacob and Rachel "were betrothed, so this morning at this well of salvation Christ, our Shepherd, will meet you coming up with your long flocks of cares and anxieties, and he will stretch out his hand in pledge of his affection while all heaven will cry out: "Behold, the bridegroom cometh! Go ye out to meet fcim." W h y Some Are K e p t B a r k . ': Here is another man who is kept back from this water of life by the stone of an obdurate heart which lies -over the mouth of the well. You have •no more feeling upon this subject than /if God had yet to do you the first llcindness or you had to do God the (first wrong. Seated on his lap all •these years, his everlasting arms sheltering you, where -4s—your—gratitude.? jiWhece is your morning and evening | prayer? Where are your consecrated lives? I say to you, as Daniel said to Belshazaar, "The God in whose hand thy breath is, and all thy way, thou hast not glorified.*" If you treated anybody as badly as you have treated Gcd, you would have made 500 apologies; yea, your whole life would have been an:._a£qlojQr. JThree times a day you have been seated at God's table. Spring, summer, autumn and winter he has appropriately appareled you. Your health from him, your companion from him, your children from him, your home from him, all t h e bright surroundings of your life from him. Oh, man, what dost thou with that hard heart? Canst thou not feel one throb of gratitude toward the God that made you, and the Christ who came to redeem you, and the Holy Ghost who has all these years been importuning you? If you could alt down five minutes under the tree of a Savior's martyrdom and feel his llfeblood trickling on your forehead and cheek and hands, methinks you would get some appreciation of what you owe to a crucified Jesus. Heart of Stone, relent, relent, Touched by Jesus' cross subdued; See his body, mangled, rent, Covered with a gore of blood. Sinful soul, what hast thou done? Crucified the Eternal Son! Jacob, with a good deal of tug and push, took the stone from the well's mouth so that the flocks might be watered. And I would that this day my word, blessed of God, might remove the hindrances to your getting up to the gospel well. Yea, I take it for granted that'the work is done, and now, like oriental shepherds, I proceed to water the sheep. Come, all ye thirsty! You have an undefined longing in your soul. You tried money making; that did not satisfy you. You tried office under government; that did not satisfy_you. Y o ^ a r e as much discontented with this life as the celebrated French author who felt that he could not any longer endure the misfortunes of the world and who said: "At 4 o'clock this afternoon I shall put an end to my own existence. Meanwhile I must toil on up to Xhat time for the sustenance of my family." And he wrote on his book until the clock struck 4, when he folded up his manuscript and. by his owu hand, concluded .his earthly life. Christ's E t e r n a l F o u n t a i n s . There are men who are perfectly discontented^.._Unhap_py in the past, unhappy today, to be unhappy forever unless you come to this gospel well. This satisfies the soul with a high, deep, all absorbing and eternal satisfaction. It comes, and it offers the mosf!IhT!o"rTmial^Ihah~s6 much'of this world as is best for him and throws all heaven into the bargain. The wealth of Croesus and of all the Rothschilds is only a poor, miserable shilling compared with the eternal fortunes that Christ offers you today. In the far east there was a king who used once a year to get on the scales, while on the other side the scales were placed gold and silver and gems—indeed, enough were placed there to balance the king. Then, at the close of the weighing, all those treasures were thrown among the populace. But Christ today steps on one side the scales, and on the other side are all the treasures of the universe, and he says, "All are yours; all height, all depth, all length, all breadth, all f-tornitv—all mv> v n n m " Wo. dr> tint 3SSSS w;.' appreciate the promises of the gospel. When an aged clergyman was dying —a man very eminent in the church —a young theological student stood by his side, and the agei man looked up and said to him, "Can't you give me ; some comfort in my dying hour?" I "No," said the young man: "f can't j talk to you on this subject. You know j all about it and have known it so ' long." "Well," said the dying man, "just recite to me some promises." Tne young man thought a moment, arid he came to this promise: "The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin," and the old man clapped his hands and in his dying moment said, "That's just the promise I have been waiting for—'The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin.'" Oh, the warmth, the grandeur, the magnificence of the promise! The Cry for Comfort. If I could gather all the griefs of all sorts from these crowded streets and could put them in one scroll, neither man nor angel could endure the recitation. Well, what do you want? Would you like to have your property back again? "No," you say as a Christian man; "I was becoming arrogant, and I think that is why the Lord took it away. I don't want to have my property back." Well, would you have your departed friends back again? "No," you say; "1 couldn't take the responsibility of bringing them from a tearless realm to a realm of tears. I couldn't do it." Well, then, what do you want? A thousand voices in the audience cry out: "Comfort. Give us. comfort!" For that reason I have rolled away the stone from the well's mouth. Come, all ye wounded of the flock, pursued of the wolves, come to the fountain where the lord's sick and bereft ones have "come.

After two persons have lived together for 40 or 50 years and one is taken away, what desolation! I shall not forget the cry of Dr. De Witt of Ne* York when he stood by the open grave of his beloved wife and after the obsequies had ended he looked down into the open place and said: "Farewell, my honored, faithful and beloved wife, The bond that bound us is severed. Thou a r t in glory, and I am here on earth. We shall meet again. Farewell, farewell!" To lean on a prop for 50 years and then have it break under you!! There were only two years' difference between t h e death of my father and mother. After my mother's decease my father used to go around as though looking for something. He woiSld often get up from one room without any seeming reason and go to another room, and then he would take his cane and start out, and some one would say, "Father, where are you going?" and he would answer, "I don't know exactly where I am going." Always looking for something! Though ho was a tenderhearted man I never raw him cry but once, and that was at the burial of my mother. After 60 years' living together it was hard to part. And there are aged people to-day who are feeling just such a pang as that. I want to tell them there is perfect enchantment in the promises of this gospel, and I come to them and offer them my arm, or I take their arm and I bring them to this gospel well. Sit down, father or mother, sit down. See if there is anything at the well for you. Come, David, the psalmist, have you anything encouraging to offer them? "Yes," says the psalmist; "they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing, to show that the Lord is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him." Come, Isaiah, have you anything to say out of your prophecies for these aged people? "Yes," says Isaiah; "down to old age I am with thee, and to hoary hairs will I carry thee."

Which Is ss Largo a* sixteen of Oar States--Abounds la Wild Anftoals— Primitive Xeftfts of TmasportAtlosk It is customary to think of Manchuria, that oriental province upon which the paws of the Russian bear now rest, as a little corner of the world. It Is nothing of t h e kind. If U could be lifted and set down within the borders of the United States it would cover all the far eastern states, together with New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Its area is 400,000 square miles. It Is situated In the northeastern part of China, directly south of the Amur or Great river. Well does that stream deserve Its name, for, emptying into the Pacific at the Sea of Okhotsk, it extends backward through nearly one-third of the vast extent of Asia. On the east Manchuria is bounded by a strip of Siberia and by the highland and solitudes which separate it from Corea, the hermit kingdom. On the south is the Yellow sea and westward it stretches away 1 toward Mongolia, without natural j frontiers. In Manchuria everything is 1 still primitive. The mule carts, which < form the only means of transportation, have clumsy, nail-studded wheels, with axles as big as kegs, and which bump along over unseen stones in the same ruta which have been followed for a century. Wives are Btill bought in the market place, like calves and dog3, and are taken home, c!ad -in gorgeous colored silks and wearing headdresses of tinsel and artificial flowers. There are 12,000,000 people in Manchuria living in three provinces, Shinking,Klrin and Tsi-tsl-har. The first is the largest and best known. The chief city, Mukden, is known as "the affluent capital," and has a population as large as Washington. It is surrounded by a low mud wall, ten miles in circuit, within which is another wall, three miles around, thirty-five or forty feet high and fifteen feet in width. The city is like Pekin on a smaller scale. The streets are wide and clean and the large, well-built shops, with their n g ^ o ~ ^ r r T T f f u ^ a n d o t h e r arrangements, inp * i •rvvr. 588¾ worry much about your ailing eyesight and failing limbs.

And do you suppose the Lord of heaven and earth has not as much sympathy as\tho fish of the sea? But you say, "'I am so near worn out, and I am of no use to God any more." I think the Lor vmi think God has forgotten you because he has taken care of you 70 or SO years? He thinks more of you to-day than he ever did because you think more'of him.

There are indications of prosperity everywhere and the city Is regarded as one of the best in China. Over toward the Corean border there is less civilization. It has been the custom for many centuries to hold a fair in one of the towns near the Yalu river, which commands the Corean trade. This fair is under the supervision of officers and soldiers. The Manchurlans sell dogs, cats, pipes, leather, stag's horns, copper and horses. They take from the Coreans baskets, rice, cooking utensils, corn, swine, paper mats and oxen. All the trading must be done in five hours, which gives the fair the appearance of a Donnybrook gathering. Just before the sun sets all the Coreans are driven back across the frontier.

This is not, by * ly means, the first time that water has been struck in Southern California by persons w h a were seeking for oil, and in some cases the water has proved to be more valuable than a moderate amount of oil would be.

OosyricBted 1SW I97 Bobert Bonner4* Sou, CHAPTER VII.—(Continued.) When the princess was alone, she trembled beneath the' weight of the new thougfet that had been wrought upon her. Flight was something that had not made Its way to her mind bafore, but now that It had been presented, she could not dismiss it. She had revealed her whole feeling, so far as the king was concerned, in her speech to Albia. There may have been other springs within her soul which she did not then dare to touchy but in her own soul, unsupported and uninfluenced by ether causes than such as spring from reason and reflection, had grown a fear of Horani, and a terror of being his wife. She had dreamed of poor Helena until the dead queen seemed almost an attendant spirit upon her, sent to warn her. The night passed, and the day came; and she had resolved that she would not marry with the old king if she could avoid it. When Albia came, and asked her what she had determined, such wa« the purport of her answer. 'But," said the oondmalden, "there Is but one way in which the sacrifice can be avoided. Are you ready to flee?" "Not yet—not yet, Albia, Walt through the day." In the afternoon the king made a visit to the house of his prime minister and spent a short time with Ulin. He never looked more repulsive. He was loud in his words of love, and made the announcement that fortune had turned full in his favor. It was evident enough that he had been taking more wine than usual. When hs went~ away; UHn sank -tJe-w-n—upon, a low stool, and buried her face in her •hands. "Albia," she said, when she.felt like speaking, "1 can bear no more. I would rather die than give myseir to that man. If I should die, my father would lose me; but if I flee from Damascus, I may at some time return to him. If you can prepare for leaving the city, I will accompany you this very night." The bondmaiden promised that she would do all in her power; and without waiting to waste time In useless words, she went forth to search for the help she needed. Evening came, and Ulin had not shrunk back from the decision she had made. There were two reasons why her home had not power to win her back from her resolve. The death of her mother had taken away the brightest part of that home; and, furthermore, its character of home was soon to be changed if she remained. It could not be her home any more.— Thus ___Jherself CHAPTER VIII. Hobaddan. sat the princess, presenting .with every.__axailable -reasonthat could favor her in her resolution, when Albia came in, with a quick step and a flushed cheek. "My mistress," she said, when she had assured herself that they were alone, "there is a man in the garden who wishes to speak with you." "A man!" cried Ulin. "He says it Is a case of life or death—of life or death to an individual, and of life or death to a city," pursued the bondmaiden, without noticing the interruption. "He gained entrance to the garden, and has besn searching for the lady Ulin. He did not tell me his name; but I know that he was with the robbers at the Palace of the Valley, and he says he is a friend of Julian. If you will see him now, I can conduct him up without danger of discovery." "In mercy's name, Albia, what mean you?" The princess trembled like an aspen. "What can he want with me?" "I think he is an honest man, my lady; and I think you had better see him. I only speak my own feelings." "Does he say that Julian sent him?" asked Ulin, trembling more violently as that name fell from her lips. "Julian did not send him," replied Albia; "and yet he comes in behalf of Julian. I think the noble young chieftain is In danger, and this man hopes that you may be able to render some ^assistance." "Indeed, Albia, I must not do such a thing. It would not be proper. . I must not do it. What is the robber chieftain to me?" "I know not of a verity, my lady, —th*t^»uch^8 the man's hope; but I do know that he prays most earnestly to see you. Yet, If you will not see him, I will carry to him your word." ma»»t win h» Hn it j refuse?" prayerfully asks that you will grant him audience." The princess was not proof against the spirit which prompted to the reception of the robber. It was not wholly curiosity which moved her. There were feelings working within her which she could not have explained, even to hersalf. She told Albia that she might conduct the man to her apartment. "You will come with him, Albia; and you will remain with me while he is here." The bondmaiden went away, and ere long returned, followed by a tall, stout, middle-aged man. As the rays of the lamp fell upon his face, revealing features that were far above the average in their stamp of manhood, Ulin recognized him as one whom she had seen with Julian in the Valley o" Lycanius. He bowed very low as he entered, and when he saw how the maiden was affected by his presence, he proceeded at once to open his business. "Noble lady," he said, In a tone which might at once have banished all fear from the minds of his listeners, "I have come to you upon a most strange business, and -I will use as few words as possible in presenting it to you. My young master Is in danger." "Do you speak of Julian?" asked the princess, with a slight start. "Yes, my lady," replied the man, standing respectfully before her, with his cap in his hand. "My name Is Hobaddan, and I am Julian's lieutenant. I have been with him from the period of his earliest childhood. Since he was large enough to lift a lance, I have been his friend and.companion.. HaJSKas_^i^en^ijCLto= my care during his opening youth; and when he reached the estate of manhood I was content to serve him. I love him as a brother—aye, better than moot brothers love.—I love—him tenderly and devotedly. And all his followers love him. A thousand stout men love and worship him." What did all this mean? Why had Hobaddan come to tell her this? Ulin trembled, knowing not wherefore, and gazed anxiously into the speaker's face. "Lady," pursued the lieutenant, who had stopped a moment, as though he would assure himself that his language gave no offense, "my master is in danger. He is In the, hands of hiB deadliest enemy. He is in this c i t y - cast into a dark, deep dungeon, and Horam means to kill him!" Ulin turned pale as death, and clasped her hands upon her bosom. Her look signified that she would ask how it happened. "I will explain." continued Hobadput away some feeling of a very different character. The lieutenant evidently read her nature, for he proceeded eameetly: "Do not misunderstand me, lady, Were the work simply to set Julian free, I should not hare visited you. The work I would give Into your hands is the salvation of Damascus. If our master Is slain by the king, this city must Buffer terribly. The vengeance of those who love the chieftain will be dreadful. If Julian falls beneath the sword of the king's executioner, his followers will draw more blood from the life of this people than Polypses drew when he ravaged the city of the northern plain. To save all this, noble princess, can you not help me? Is there not some way in which you can remove the bolt from the door of the chieftain's prison-house?,r Ulin was trembling more violently than before. "0, sir," she cried, giving full scope now to her feelings, "you find me powerless to help you. I have not the influence which you ascribe to me. If I had the power, I would not hesitate If I were the jailer, and. held the keys of the prison door, I would set your master free; but, alas! I am more weak than you imagine. I am more like a prisoner than like a princess!" At this juncture the bondmaiden arose from her seat and moved forward. Her dark eyes sparkled with peculiar fire, and her fair brow worked as though the bain were revolving mighty thoughts. "Dear lady," she said, addressing her mistress, "there is but one way in which we can render the assurance which this man seeks." "Speak, Albia," said Ulin, betraying a suddenness of emotion which told very plainly how her desire ran. "Not now, my mistress," returned the girl. "I must have time: If this man can come to our garden two hours past midnight, I can tell him more." "Is there help?" asked Hobaddan, eagerly. "I cannot tell you now," replied Albia. "I can only tell you this! If there^is—aeliLJt is„.Jfi™he_Jo.ynd_onJx, in one quarter. I will look for it there; and, at the time I have mentioned, you shall know the result. I will look for it if my lady is willing." "And I am-pardoned for my intru- Aro Yott CtlH* AUea'e Foot-Ease?

"They came to our camp," said Hobaddan, "and told so fair a story that they were admitted to fellowship, and the blacks were placed as servants near the person of our chieftain. But the result proved that they were sent out by Horam, and that their mission was to capture the Scourge of Damascus. And this work they have accomplished How they did it I cannot tell. I only know th3t we missed our leader, and that the three conspirators w?re missing with him. I came at once to this city, and have succeeded in discovering what I have told you. Julian is in prison, and of course the fate of death awaits him." "But sir. said Ulin. struggling to speak calmly, "what can this mean to me?" "Noble lady, 1 know that the thought of seeking you was a wild one; and perhaps you will say it was monstrous; but I could think of no other course. I know that your father was prime minister; and that you were in a position to wield some influence. There is not an officer in Damascus to whom I would dare to apply. Is there not some way in which you can help me?" "How, sir? Help you in what?" "In setting my young master free." "Indeed, sir. you have taken a step most wild. Hew shouid I, the daughter of Abcml Cassera, dare to step in between justice and its victim?" "AhHady," returned the lieutenant, "some of us think that others higher than Julian owe more to justice than does he.Il. "Still, sir," pursued Ulin, "it is most sion?" said Hobaddan. "Yes." returned Ulin. She would have >:aid more, but Albia was already at the door, and the robber had turned to follow her. CHAPTER IX. The Dark Hour. "It seemed like a dream to Ulin. She closed her eyes—and opened them —and arose—and walked across the chamber—simply to assure herself that she was awake. Was it possible that a member of the robber band had been to see her—had been within her chamber—had come, and had gone? A friend and companion of Julian's seeking her for aid in behalf of the chieftain? She was trying to make it appear real, when her bondmaiden returned. ' SKIN The door was closed, and Albia remarked, as she took a seat: "He will be in the garden two hours past midnight, my lady; and if we can help him, we must do our work as absuTd to think that I could help you In this." Did Ulin appear like one offended? No. Did she treat the name of Julian as though she deemed him worthy of the fate which threatened htm? No, 8he teemed rather to be struggling to speedily as possible." "Help." repeated Ulin, gazing into her attendants face. "How can we help Julian?' "The thing may be possible," replied Albia, in a thoughtful mood. "If you would serve him. I think a way can be opened to the arcomplishment." 1 he princess reflected a few moments, and then said: "If the mnn who was here spoke the truth, it may become my duty to help him; and certainly his story! seemed plausible. I can very easily] see hew the powerful robber band, moved to desperation by the death o? their beloved leader, might wreak most terrible vengeance upon this city: and surely, if we can be the means of averting so dire a calamity. it is our duty so to do." "I think it is." added Albia. "But.'' continued Ulin. "if Julian is in the power of the king, he must be in one of the strongest dungeons'; and a strict guard must be kept over him. How can we reach him?" "I can think of but one way," returned the bondmaiden, laying down the pKn with her finger as she proceeded. "Osmir and Selim had a hand in capturing the-young chieftain; and it is not impossible that they may have a hand in guarding him. I judge so from the fact that the capture of the robber has not yet become generally known in the city, which would certainly have been the case if the king's officers had known it. Now we havo some claim upon the gratitude of tills Osmir. and I think he is, by nature, grateful enough to repay us. H i is the man whom we found faint and dying upon the shore of the lake, and who must have died if we had npt nursed him. You remember the circumstance?" ."He had almost been hilled by som? slaves cf Aleppo," explained Albia. (To be continued.)

Aug. 5 1901 Editor Dispatch: I will now write you a few lines to let you know where and how I am. I am qnite welt at- present, and am now in the coast artillary. 1 was transfered from the cavalry to the 20th Co. Coast Artillery, formerly battery "H" 2nd Coast Artillery. But lately they have made some changes. Now all the coast artillery goes under the tittle of companies 1st, 2nd, etc., and the field artillery are Batteries 1st, 2nd, etc. The 20th is stationed behind Cabana Fortress across the harbor from; the city. We are on a sort of peninsula with the harbor on one side and the ocean on the other. Cabana is up in the harbor a few yards and old Morro Castle stands out on the extreme point. I think Cabana is a more wonderfull place than Morro. The military prison is in Cabana Fortress Then down the coast about 600 yards from Morro Castle there is a small fortress which was built by the Spanish during the war. There are some very old guns here most of them dated back in the 17th century and some are older, but we don't use these old guns, we use some more modern but even they are not the latest appearing guns. They are all Spanish make. There were 42 of us transfered from the 4 troops at Puerto Principe. We left there July 27 at G:45 a m and arrived in Havana about 8:00 p m the 28. I went over the city on a pass Saturday and took'in some of the sights. I hired a Cuban to take me for a sale over the harbor for 50c, and I went out to the Maine and it is a sad sight to see that once grand old boat laying there a hopeless mass of junk. The Cuban pointed out to me the spot where the Maria Tressa (one of the Spanish fleet) went dowu. I am going to get a camera and take some photos of the different sights around here. I like it here better than I did out at Puerto Principi and I believe I shall like the artillery better thin the cavalry, that is the coast artillery, but I don't want any of the field artillery on A n B m e r * e n e r W i l l .

Officers Locke captured Forney, but the other two got away. Two little girls, aged ',1 and 2 years, daughters ^f Geo. Simmons, ofMancelona, were burned to death Saturday night. They were left with two older boys in the house, which in some unknown manner caught tire. The boys escaped and gave the alarm, but assistance arrived too late to save the two youngest. The bouse and everything in it was burned. The horrible burns and bruises which Louis Wolf received in a bakery tire in Detroit Monday morning proved fatal, the unfortunate man dying at. the hospital that afternoon. Fire department officials say that had he made a direct attempt to escape instead of trying to save some money he had stored away, he would not have been fatally injure^. Clarence Mosher 'is a tramp. He is also working as a farm hand near Battle Creek, strange as it may seem. But lie has bis own definition of the word "work,"' and when he thought his boss. Elmer Austin, was pushing him too hard, he sailed into him with a pitchfork. Austin is nursing two severe wounds and Mosher is in jail on a charge ot assault and battery. Frank Bailey, the midget, has changed his mind about going to the poorhouse, and will tour the state for the puri>ose of raising funds to recover his old home. He says he has discovered that a mortgage of $1,000 on the home is vo-;d l>ecause Ids wife never signed it. There is a second mortgage for $4<tf>. and Bailey's idea is to raise enough money to clear it. Edward Flnner and XoT.e Wood, of Owosso. were married Saturday night. They didn't take the trouble to Inform the girl's parents of the fact. Mr. and Mrs. Wood, while hunting for their daughter, met the newly married couple in the street. Before they bad a chance to explain Mr. Wood sailed into the bridegroom and gave him a thrashing. Price has l»een restored. John Ornhnin wan arrested Saturday night, charged with forging orders on local "merchants. Ho struck Battle Creek from Chicago In the morning and in the afternoon obtained a pair of shew* at Hnrbeck'H on a n order purporting to be from t h e foreman of the sewer gang. He wng arrested a t Parker's while attempting to pass^a similar ord<T for a hat. Vhe .qrder* were forged, . The news comes from Pittsburg that - under cover of the turmoil a n d confusion of the strike the steel trust alms to carry out a plan of merciless concentration, the success of which means ^ not only the subjugation of labor, but the extinction of cities and towns. It is obviously cheaper to operate one big mill than two of half the capacity. So the mills which-are the foundation of many of the minor towns in the iron district are to be dismantled and the ' machinery moved t> centers like Chicago, Pittsburg and Cleveland. There Is no secret about this now; the work has already begun, and more towns live marked for destruction. It is simply business with the trust. If the salaries of superintendents and bookkeepers can be saved, sentimental considerations for the welfare of towns, or for the ruin of storekeepers and property owners near the doomed mills cannot weigh with the giant corporation. An order has been Issued to dismantle and remove the Dewees \\rood works in McKeesport a t once. This will be a severe blow to the town. The Dewees Wood works Is one of the oldest and best known plants in Pennsylvania.. It was founded nearly 40- years ago, and Its shops and irillls co>"-•>. ered from 12 to 14 acres. It employed an average of 000 men, but in the busiest times the pay roll carried 1,200 names. The pUint cost several million dollars. The company recently announced Its intention of expending a large sum of money in improvements* but the order to dismantle terminates that plan. The sentiment of the citizens and officials of McKeesport has been against the steel corporation, and it is believed that the latter preferred, to get out rather than attempt to resume. ---XU*i-4rmil_£teol strlke_Json. The general order of riTsideirOfhaffei\~iJl the Amalgamated Association, became effective and thousands of workers left their places to return at some indetinitc ii:ue in the future, either victorious over the ironmasters or in humble defeat. The order to strike was generally obeyed wherever the workers were organized and enrolled in the lodges of the Amalgamated-A-sjHH.daU.in. The adion ot the executive of the mine workers at-Indianapolis in resolving to suppoit the strike cheered the Amalgamated men, and they are contident tnat the federation will aid them to the fullest extent. The closing hours of labor and the opening hours of the strike lacked spectacular action. Pittsburg, which is the strike center, was calm and undisturbed. There was no excitement or violence, and the pulse of t ! ^ community was normal. This actkn? f«illmvh».T. tim Mt.'Hrwnit of President (Jumpers, in which he promises to aid" the strikers, is regarded as significant, as it is the first movement toward uniting all the organisations connected with the federation in supporting the steel strikers. In an address to (5.000 union men a t New Castle 'Saturday, President Shaffer made this formal tender for arbitration: "Now in our willingness to settle the matter we are ready to arbitrate. Let the Amalgamated Association select one man imd let the trust select ouc. the two to select a third. We will abide by the decision of the Three." This announcement was made on behalf of the strikers that on Friday an offer to arbitrate was formally submitted to the Fnited States Steel Corporation. According to this statement the offer was made to J. Plerpout Morgan, whose reply, rejecting it, was: "This is no time' for arbitration."' The citizens of Dubois have offered $1,000,000 to have the McKeesport mill moved to that place. Fnneral of the DowstKcr EmprpM, The funeral of the Ikiwager Empress Frederick occurred at Oonberg Saturday. Punctually at U o'clock p. m. the sound of muffled drums were heard and the will-of-the-wisp likv> tinkling of torches throughout the streets told the people of Crojibcrg that tne procession had started.. With uplifted torches they drew near the town when they revealed a long black massive line on the shoulders of a dozen soldiers. Then another flare revealed the well-known figure of the emperorpaciug with somber tread just 'behind the coffin. It was a weinl wonderful sight, appearing for n moment and then dissolving under the flaring torches, while on each side for a mile along the road were revealed the glittering bayonets and helmets of*the Eightieth regiment of the line, of which the dead downjrer empress WAS eolonol-in-chlef. The deep, muffled roll of the drums added to the solemnity o £ the scene. As the. precincts of the old medieval town were reached, the scene seemed more mystical. Behind the emperor followed the royal famllv save the ladles, none of whom was in the procession; the crown prince of Greece, the vrlnce of Schnumberg-LIppe, the hereditary prince of Saxe JMenlngen, Count von Zeekendorf, who was the secretary of the dowager empress, and other notables. A double file of soldiers bearing torches walked on either side of the mounters. « < * & " Y"v ; *r I**-' •v%:^m *r ummmmm. £ ^ rfc * • r o V T Tr**d Boftly; b o w t h e h e a d - I n r e v e r e n t alienee b o w !

A small haycock for stacking with a derrick is a nuisance. To he able to build these large cocks> without too much carrying of the hay I rake the clover with a sweep rake 20 feet long, teeth six feet long, drawn by two horses. Two rakefuls ninke one good cock. In hauling to the stack 1 use this riweep rake aud haul two or three cocks at a time. In this way L can keep the stackers going. This year 1 shall try stacking from the windrow by usiug sled and hay slings, two or three sliugs to a sled. If this wIH work, and I feel sure that it will, it wiM save the labor,of cocking.

It takes, no more material to cover a high rick than a low one. A rick witti a bulge requires too much cover to protect It. Hence the sides should be nearly straight till necessary to draw in for the top. With the aid of the ueiS rick the only hard work necessary is that of the tramj»ers and stackers. It needs a man to set the foik, a man to revolve the derrick on its pivot and two men on the stack. Hoys can ride the horses te haul in the hay and the horse that works the fork. By making runners of the lower part of the frame this derrick can be drawn to different parts of the field and. from one field to another over level land without taking down the poles. The derrick should be put together with bolts, so that Jt can be tiken down and stored in shelter when not In use. If not taken down. It makes a good weather vano, but not an attractive field ornament. DAVID H.

Although we have lived here twelve years this was the first time we have had the pleasure of the trip and must admit that we were well pleased. There is no place where one cannot run a flat-bottomed row boat easily and the scenery well pays for the trip. One cannot help but wish however that some "places could beso that small steamers could dreaged ply between the junctions as Lakeland and the Bluffs making tbe different camping places on the way, some of which resemble small villages.

T h e " F i t c h " A q u a t i c C r e a m S e p a r a t o r * If you're running a dairy,—be there one cow or one hundred— your profit dedends upon the quality of cream you're getting. If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. By the old system of milk-setting you lose from ten to twenty per cent, of the cream, besides doing a lot of unnecssary work. Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change in tempertnre aud consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because of the cream being the lighter it is forced to the top. You get all the cream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, the cream is smooth, sweet, firm and clean, and requires less than half the time formerly required to churn it. The butter is better, sweeter, and you get from ten to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. You can wash it in two minutes and have readv for the next {milking. v Taking it all in all, it saves the women's work, coats lees than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, jars, crocks; cans, etc., besides saving enough cream in one year to pay for itself tenfold.

The excellent program was carried out with the exception that W. C. Maybury of Detroit failed to put in an appearance. The reason for which will be found on this page. The stands were well patronized as well, as the Mcdocks were much sport was se*;n in the skill of some to knock down a modock. However as every three balls counted a nickel to the sorietv, skill did not cut much figure. The ball game was hotly contested, but as the ground was very uneven the score was high as it was impossible to catch "grounders." Stockbridge came off the field with tbe scalp of Iosco to the tune of 28 to 23. While the score was large the game was interesting and everyone got their moneys worth. The dance in the evening was largely attended at the 'opera house and was a source of revenue, and the young people enjoyed the evening. Altogether the picnic was attended with tbe usual success and the church netted about $350. Ed Bow era was borne for tbe picnic Aug. 15. Lucy Cnlbano is visiting in Dexter this week. A.

A dispatch had come oyer the wires aaylng that a special was coming from the east and thai a double-header would be needed to carry It over the grades. Daa Beard's No. 20 could climb a tree, and the big fellow got his orders to make the run. It was getting close to starting time and Johnny Coleman, Dan's fire boy, was growing anxious. Dan bad not shown up all morning, He was not at German Joe's, nor around the station. The dispatcher was standing in the sua looking at his watch and swearing safely to himself. He was Just on the point of putting another man on No. 20, when something white caught his eye on the hill-path that runs above the cut As it came nearer he saw It was Mollle, and right behind was Dan, clumsily picking his way over the stones. At the station Dan called out: "All ready," to 'the dispatcher, looking rather sheepish and strangely happy. "Remember, Dan," spoke Mollie, as No. 20 began to move. "Not another drop, little girl. Not another " and ie waved a brown fist hack at the girl, a the tender bumped over the BWitch to the main track. And not until the big machine dwindled to a mere bug in the distance did Mollie turn her back and disappear in the doorway. That night the special from the east was late. It crept into Lamy with one engine and that engine was not No. 20. The little knot that gathered in curiosity on the platform felt in their hearts something was impending. Johnny Coleman limped up, his head bandaged in white cloth, and looking weak and sick. "Where's Dan?" asked a little woman with a face very white. Johnny Coleman did not answer, but looked uneasily away. They were lifting something very gently from the baggage car to lay it on the platform. Johnny told as briefly as possible the details. "Making up time, we left the track at the culvert," he said. "I jumped clear, but Dan didn't get out in time. When we got him from beneath he was pretty bad. And—r" (someone was crying very softly over where Dan lay.) Johnny continued: "I guess we could ha' pulled 'im through at that But he wouldn't take the whisky we give him. " 'Ain't drinking, Johnny; not another drop,' was all he said, and then he sort o' turned over like a tired little kid and—I 'spose that's when he died." . . NO CHECK RK1N ON HORSES. The Girl of Lamy. ' BY H. A. CALLAHAN. '(Copyright, 19M. by Daily Story Pub. Co.; Just a handful of wooden houses in *fjssny, thrown together as if by tite haphazard hand of a careless God into 'the little pocket of the mountains that 'stand like priests around the city of •Santa Fe. Here it is that the dust «gray coaches which thunder in from .Arizona on the west, meet their brothtars from the east and exchange for a few brief moments the greetings of the way. Of course, the red clap-board eatingbouse and station are the main attractions during these arrivals and present fScenes of unwontod activity to those accustomed to the aching solitude of •the place by day or its blinking dreaminess beneath the stars at night. No one distinctly remembers Just <when or how the Girl became an insti- JL New Face Behind the Counter. Csdon at Lamy. However, they do reinemher that one September morning some years back there was a new face fcehindxthe counter in the eating-house: * face framed in dull gold hair and lighted by two blue-gray eyes, which rgssnod forever on the brink of laughter. The boys who made their home 4n the tittle clap-board affair used to »«alMier Mollie; but it was a name of -^festfr ewm devising and so* accepted *L a*«be did many other little things. with an inscrutable smile that puzzled, yet meant nothing. When the crews would come in from a heavy climb. soaked to the bone with rain and sleet, the Girl was there in a motherly way, with a stiff three fingers of whisky and a supper that lifted them clear of their weariness. Or, if on a Saturday night, the sounds of a brawl would flaunt down on the still air the Girl would walk over to German Joe's in a business- like way and scatter the drunkest of them with a quiet word and an admonnitory jerk of the sleeve that sent them sneaking out like coyotes. Then, perhaps, she would stand and smile In the doorway with her hair blowing in the wind, her eyes speaking more plainly than words that a new era had begun in Lamy. Her sway was absolute. And it was not long before every fireboy and throttle-man on the Division had had his own individual experience, tamed by the graceful slip of a girl with g9lden hair, who seemingly came from nowhere—the Angel of the Grade. This was all before Dan Beard happened in. Dan was from the Colorado hills and no angel. They had put him first on the little bunt line that runs crazily over the hills to Santa Fe. Then he was shifted to the main lins for relay, work and became a fixture at Lamy. Dan was six feet one, brown as leather and as tough, and incidentally iould drink more whisky than any man this side of Phoenix. He spent his mornings against the bar in German Joe's place, cursing out the road, from the president down. Then about ten minutes before his run began be would shuffle over to his machine and get his orders. When these were duly scanned Dan would open up No. 20 gently and sneak out of Lamy like a snake, but before the whistling post was passed he had her galloping over the rails like a frightened thing and bellowing like a bull. He became notorious as the most reckless devil on Jhe road, and everybody said that sooner or later there would be a smash somewhere up in the hills and Dan Beard would get off the line forever. But the smash didn't seem to come, and Dan's mad way continued. Then a change came. It was almost imperceptible. But gradually Dan dropped sway from the whisky and bade fair to quit It altogether. He didn't take the grades so fast and slackened up on the curves almost like the rest. Some said it was "Mollie.'* Some said ihe Division Superintendent Nobody ever really knew." That night was a lonely vigil in Lamy and along in the early dawn they buried Dan Beard. He's up there near the hill-path that runs above the cut, and can hear the 100 tonners climbing up the grade. And sometimes when the boys give the long blast for the Junction they just pull a Bhort one for Dan—the worst man on the Division. If you are ever down that way, drop in on the girl at the eating-house. She's not very stylish, and I guess perhaps her talk is a bit western, but somehow or other they seem to think flftwasflui KQv VU- - "Where's Dan?" pretty well of her in Lamy. And, b> the way, they don't call her "Mollie'; any more. It's just Dan Beard's girl— the Girl at Lamy. A Cosmopolitan Army. The conflict between the Germant and Czechs in Austria-Hungary, which deserves Secretary Seward's appellation of "the irrepressible conflict,' makes interesting a study of the elements composing the army of thai country, which consists of' 428,00( Slavs, 227,000 Allemands, 120,000 Magyars. 48,000 Roumanians and 14,00( Italians. The Slavs are made up oi 174,000 Czechs, 76,000 Poles, 75,00(^ Ruthenians, 75,000 Croatians find Ser vians and 28,000 Slavonians. New York the Sunniest City.

He said that not only were the horses allowed the use of their heads, but they were free from this torture of high reining. There Is much meat for thought in this. The question is naturally asked, Why is it necessary to rein horses up at all? If reining is necessary in order to make the animal more useful, then it is extremely peculiar that horses in Washington do their work so well without it. Surely there is no difference between horses in Roanoke and horses in Washington when it comes to that. In fact, it is against common reason to argue that a horse or any other animal is worth more with hia head doubled back at right angles to its natural position. That being so, the practice of reining must come from a desire to be in style, a desire which is, to say the least, in this case, somewhat inconsistent, as styles change. They have changed in Washington, but the check rein is still answering its fiendish, cruel purpose here in Roanoke. One would think that people who are so zealous in following the fashions In the henght of the collars, the shape of their shoes and the size of the trousers at the knee would pay some attention to the fashion in regard to reining. They appear to believe it to be incumbent upon them to bob their horses' tails. That is purely a fad. Why not take up another as well? Horsemen discourse upon the advantages of high reining on the trotting courses. They perhaps know what they are talking about, but one docs not see them driving their thoroughbreds over the country roads or leaving them standing for hours in the sun with their heads drawn back. If asked they would most likely say that a horse which is worth having will hold its head up without artificial props, and that it is usually the cheap plug that owners are trying to prod into some sort of show that has to be reined in order 10 pass for more than a baggage wagon hack.—Roanoke (Va.)

The prosperity of the country depends still, as it always has done, and moat probably always will do, upon the. fruits <&.the earth. Centuries before the present era. corn and wine and oil were among the chief boons of the Promised Land, and though we hear little , now of the first, the other two are regaining their ancient reputation. To melons, which also were valued in ancient days, a new fruit has been added —the orange. This and the grape are now the most important products of Palestine, though the exports of the former have declined considerably in value during the last few years. Jaffa oranges, however, maintain their reputation, so that it may be hoped that the depression is only temporary.. Southern Palestine has always been noted for its vineyards. Of the principal Jewish colonies in the Jaffa district, Richon-le-Slon, Petach-Tikvah, and Ekron, on the supposed/ site of the Philistine city which last received the fatal trophy of the ark, the first is the chief one for grape growing. A fourth colony, Sarona, also near Jaffa, Is German. In all these agriculture, and especially everything connected with wine-making, is conducted on scientific principles, and the first and last have become really important centers in the trade. Richon-le-Slon has excellent works and machinery for the manufacture of wine, and great underground cellars for its storage.

For transportation of petroleum over sea steel tank ships are made for both crude and refined oil, says a writer in the Cosmopolitan. Most of the crude oil exported goes to France and Spain, where it is treated in local refineries, the duty imposed on refined oil by those countries being practically prohibitive. For the Oriental trade the oil is shipped in cases—two five-gallon cans crated together constituting a "case"—on sailing vessels, as the voyage around the Horn takes from 116 to 176 days, far too long a course for steam vessels. But the trans-atlantic trade is chiefly carried on in tank steamers, huge steel shells in which almost the entire" space "In the hull is devoted to carrying oil in bulk. There is a small dry compartment in the bows for ordinary freight and the crew's living quarters are put at the extreme stem, with the engines immediately forward of them. The rest of the hull is divided into from twelve to twenty air tight compartments, each of which has a capacity of about 140,- 000 gallons. The largest tank ship carry nearly 2,500,000 gallons and so powerful are the pumps by which they are controlled that such cargo can be taken on board or delivered within six hours. As these airtight compartments are kept hermetically sealed from port to port—Instead of being closed only lu an emergency, as on an ocean liner —the oil tank ships are the stanchest vessels afloat, and many a handsome sum in salvage have they earned for their owners by towing into port a vessel disabled in a storm.

The robber chleitain had been placed in one of the onost gloomy dungeons beneath the royal palace, his legs and arms loaded with chains, and his feet ehacklKd to ii bull In the fluoi.—Howlong he had been there he could not tell. Night and day were the same in the living tomb. iFood and.drink had been brought to him thrice, and a masked urate had been in to remove the tray. He Iliad butione hope of escape, and even t h a t was so feeble that It would not 'bear the entertainment. He thought it hie followers should discover where h s was, they might, possibly dare to attempt his release; but when he came to weigh all the circumstances, he dared not think they would do it. In-short, Julian had made up his mind that death was very near to him. And what hafi Ihe to live for? What, but revenge upon the King .of Damasmus? He had no parents—no relatives— nothing «an earth of his own blood which be could .claim. There might be living hi the city some .human being of tifcs kin; but he did not know of such. He loved his brave fellows; but they could do Without him. They were bold, stout men, and could look for themselves. W h a t else was there? There were -some :poor families in the mountains—some friends upon the plain—and a .few dependent ones near the xiver; but Hobaddan would care i o r litem. What else was there? The youthful chletttatn bowed !his head, and pressed hte heavily laden hands upon his heart. There was one mores—one whom he bad hoped to see again in the coming time^—one who had left an impression in Ibis soul which had warmed and quickened -his whole being. But why think of her? What could the beautiful daughter *ff Aboul Cassem be to him? In a few short days she would be the wife of his bitterest enemy. Thus mused the prisoner, standing erect, with his manacled hands folded upon his boaom, when he was aroused from his reflections by the sound of creaking bolts, and in a few moments more the door of his dungeon was opened, and the rays of a lamp penetrated the placs. Two men entered, closing the door after them; but the eyes of the chieftain were not yet used enough to the light to distinguish either thoir forms or features. Presently, however, as they addressed each other, he recognized the two/ blacks who had so fatally deceived him, and his first impulse was to raise hi* heavy chains and smite them down; but they were not near enough to be thus reached. "Osmir—3€lim," he said, "are you here?" "Yes, my master," replied' Oomir. "Have you come to kill me?" "No." "To bear me to the kin*?." "Yet," "And fee kins fears not to trust mr **Yo« see he doe* trust us." "Aye—as I trtoeted you. 0 , you are t w o ungrateful villains. When you c a m to me i n the forest* I believed your tale of woe, and took pity upon you: and I meant to he kind to you, « u d make your lot a pleasant one. I looked into your faces, and I thought you were honest. I did not trust you from your speech, but from your honest looks. However, it is past. And now what seek ye V "Good master," said Osmir, speaking earnestly, "before I tell you why we are now here, let me say to you that W4 are not without hearts, and that we have some store of honesty. Wfeen we went to your camp, we went in the service of another master, whom we were bound to serve. We had sworn that we would capture you if we could. But, sir, after we had seen you, and known you, we would have recanted had the thing been possible. We asked Judah to free us from the task, but he refused." "Why do you tell me this story now?" "That_y_ou may know the reason of our action." "You action speaks for itself. Look at these chains; and mark the fate to which I am doomed.'* "I meant not the action of the past, good master; I alluded to action that was to come." "Action to come?" "Yes. Selim and I are here to speak of your release from this dungeon. Hold—let our words be few, for the time is short. We have promised that we would lead you forth from Horam's power if the thing wjsre possible.", "Promised whom?" asked Julian. The black hesitated. He knew not that he should use the name of the princess, so he finally answered: "Hobaddan is in the city, and our promise has been sent to him. But— there is something more. If we lead you from this place, we do so in the face of great danger. We have planned for that, and have freely staked our lives In the work. But, if we succeed, and you are free, we can never more return to Damascus. If we go with you from this dungeon, we must go with you from the city, and remain with you." Julian believed that the black was speaking truly and honestly. "Certainly," be said, "If you lead me Tn safety from the bonds that now encompass me, I will give you such return as you may desire. You may remain with me, if you like, or I will give you safe conduct into the land of the Syrians." "Your word is enough, my master; and henceforth Selim and I are your servants. We change our allegiance, and the proof of our fidelity shall be manifest in this first act of our service. We have dangers to meet, sir." "Talk not of dangers," cried the chieftain. "Throw off these chains; give me a sword; and lead me to the upper world; and I ask no more. Once again I trust you, and if you prove true, my gratitude shall be your while I live?" Without further words Osmir proceeded to the work he had come to perform. Selim held the lantern, while he loosed the Irons from Julian's limbs; and very soon the chieftain stepped forth.witn his limbs free. "There is no time to waste," said Osmir, as he cast,the chains upon the floor. We have good swords at hand, and for the rest we must trust to our wit and strength. There is danger enough between this dungeon and the open air; but I am ready to meet it." "By the godc," cried- Julian, as he grasped the sword which Osmir had placed in his hand.' "I can laugh at danger now. Lead on, and let this present hour be the last of Horam's power:t »» (To be continued.) "What, then? You have the watch over mc?" A Ring-Necked Tribe. An officer of native troops was ou outpost duty -at Fort Stedman, in the Shan Highlands. Burmah, and was sent on an expedition to a wild part oif the interior, where presumably foot o f white man had never trod before. Here he came across a tribe called "Paloungs." He observed the women were decorated with curious coils of brass around neck, arms and legs, and , on inquiry found.that it was a canon of unwritten law that all the higher- grade ladies be thus adorned. He was horrified to be an eye witness of the operation, the coils being put on a young girl of 12, who lay shrieking and firmly held to the grourid while the rods were bent and hammered on. The neck coll has the effect of a gigantic spring, elongating the muscles into a curious deformity. Each well-born ringed lady has a child following her with a pannikin of water, when in hot sun, to sprinkle the coil, as the brass gets intolerably hot, and festers * the skiu into horrible sores. This is one of the most curious customs ever heard of and in spite of the pain is willingly adhered to, as showing high rank la the wearer.—London Sunday Magazine.

" I asked the ^ondnctor what in the world i t meant,'1 said Mr. Griggs, "and he told me jit was a new order, but that now all the trains except the express stopped at any road oi crossing at which a passenger desired to get off. New York state is gridiorned with electric lines, and the great New York Central, to retain its local patronage has been forced to adopt t h e same system as the electrio lines.

DISPATCH OFFICE, Detroit's Bicentenlal closes in a Blaze of fcllorj. I n his fondest dreams Monsieur Cadillac thought to leave as an heritage the lands granted him by the King of France ftt tho beautiful city of the straits. But such was not to be, and we read the new popular book "A daughter of New France" perhaps we can find some reason for this in the prophecy given by Father Estienne the grand old missionary priest who gave his life to care for the souls of tho Iudians at Wichilimackinac. One intensely cold stormy evening while Monsier de Cadifiac lived at Mackinaw he received a call from the priest who took him to task for bringing from Montreal the strong waters that steal the tongue and brains and render useless the hands of men. He said to him "formerly when the Iudians returned from t h e chase, t h e fisheries, their louj trapping expeditions they repaired first to the church to render thanks to heaven. Now, look you to-day a large baud came in with haste to outrun the approaching storm. You beheld the goodly showing they made with their peltries and what next Monsieur de Cadilac? The trader took a cask of braudy into their village and proposes a game of bowl. The stakes to be drams of liquor against their furs. Finally all the fuTS have been gambled away; poor as when they went into the woods at the beginning of the win ter. The Indians reel from the lod^e or sink down upon the floor. What have you to say to this Monsieur de Cadilac? What have I to say? I deem it necessary that the strength upon whose labors the prosperity of the settlement largely depends shall be forfieted by a small meRSure of brandy. If the dogs.of Indians drink to excess, surely I am uot tc blame. "Monsieur le Commandant I make no comment upon your theory as far as it concerns the officers and soldiers of the garrison. F o r myself I never touch spirits believing example to be more potent than precept,' answered the missionary. And, at least, the drink that the Indians so aptly name "fire-water" is not necessary for them. Our lake Indians their fathers before them, their grandsires back to their remote ancesters have en dured the rigors the climate, the exposure of trapping expeditions, have broken the ice of the straits to spear fish for food, and yet have managed to exist without the drink wherewith you have taken so much trouble to provide for them. "There is no contingency which justifies the doing of even a little wrong," said Father EBtienne with dignity. "I ask yon is the work of the fouuder of this mission and that of the misionaries who came after him, down to this day, is all this to be undone? Have we opened the way here for your only that you may set in the path of the Indian a temptation that be knew not hitherto, that with your accursed strong waters you should debase him beneath t h e level of the brute creature?" In a towering rage Cadilac sprang to his feet. " I will not brook such speech" he said hotly. "As co this matter understand me your business here is to christianize the red men mid to minister to the spiritual needs of the white settlers of post as best you may. I furnish brandy to t h e Indians because I think best to do so." Father Estienne retained his self control as he replied, "You are the commandment here and I recognize your oivil authority; but as to this beiug the end of the matter I t issue between us, I warn yon that ench is very far from, the case. If, either for the sake of personal gaiu or commercial enterprise, you continue, as now, ever ready ¢0 quench the savage thirst you have aroused with the potion of death, the insidnous fire water—if you permit them to be barter not only fuis but their immortal souls for a dram,—believe me retribution will come, You may grow rich, Sieur Cadilac,—ay you will rich" "ay" h e repeated, in the same clear modulated tones the Indians loved, "you will grow from here you will establish a fine colony; moneys and lands„and honors will be yours; but beware, there will come a day when these honors and possessions will pass from you, your friends will turn against you, you will die in poverty, your children will be friendless and no one of your name will remain in the city you will found." As he uttered these words the hand of the consecrated priest fell to his side, the light of prophecy died out of his eyes and again h e became the humble missionary. "I have said what I came to say" he added quietly. Forthwith he threw his furcoat about his shoulders, drew his capouch over his head, flung open the door and passed out into the darkness and sleet, leaving as uncomfortable a storm behind him.

Some bright young chemist can iiake a wad of money by getting the privilege of working the claim and this privilege can be obtained very cheaply. This mine is located between the Armory and the Savings Bank building, on the property lately acquired by the D., Y., A. A. & J. Ry. for i-s waiting room. The find was made Tuesday. For many years there has been a photograph gallery located in the west store of the Savings Bank block. Lewis, Gibson & Clark and later Berryman have in turn had their studios there. The principal chemical used in makphotographic negatives is silver m^ato. It man expensivechemical by reason of the precise white metal being the base of the combination. For years and years the silver nitrate washings from the developing room have been allowed to pass down through a pipe and into an old unused cistern located ou the vacant lot above referred to, The cister n has cement walls and bottom, so that nothing could get away except by evaporation. The bottom of this cistern U now covered to a considerable thickness with sediment mostly comingfrom the photographer's developing room. This sediment has been examined and has been found to be very rich with silver.

We do l o t believe in deep cultivation for corn after it has grown more than three or four Inches high. By that time it has begun to seed its roots out; bence to work the soil deep after this has begun is to break those roots and to check the growth. There may be a period in the growth of a plant or tree when a root pruning is beneficial, but so little is known about it that we do not care to experiment with It in a haphazard way. But in a year like the present ^deep cultivation is likely to break more corn roots than-ID a rtry and warmer season. The corn root nevus FOR SMALL INVESTORS.

Working the soil as deep as the' manure used, will make it fertile before planting the seed and as thoroughly as possible after the corn begins to grow, but not more than three inches deep between the rows, and in a season like this we would prefer not to go more than two inches deep, says American Cultivator. — B r i n g yotrr—job work t o office.

With the smallest amount of capital one can go into the business, especiallj if there is a suitable place at band foi the work. One can rent a small poul try farm and then learn by experience, even raising fruits and vegetables the first few years,to help pay the expenses ef living. Ultimately.* however, the ambition should be placed on chicken and egg raising for the purpose of mas tering it as a specialty. L e t o n e beginjMtli«M)hegsand find out the first season what can be done with that" number. From this stock he can prepare his next 'season's increase without further callingjupou his capital. By method of exchange of eggs with neighbors near or* distant new blood can b£ introduced, and there will not be much danger of close inbreeding. In many places there is a -regular system of exchange of eggs in this way, and a t very little expense new breeds are constantly being added. From the 50 hens of the first season the flock can be increased to 200 for the second. If you have been successful with the f>0, you are probably prepared the second year to handle 200. especially if proper houses and yards have been prepared in advance. That is very essential, and throughout' the whole development of the business never neglect to increase the quarters of the hens and chickens in proportion to their increase in numbers. "With plenty of accommodations and fair success the second year the beginner might well increase his stock to 500 for the third year. The fourth year he mijjht go up to 700 or 800 and the fifth season round out the business with an even 1,000. When you have reached that number, the plant is a pretty good sized one, and its further increase must be made gradually. There are poultry farms ef 5.000 and 10,000 hens, but the owners have learned by careful experience hew to handle such numbers in the most economical way. Any beginner, of course, can grow up to such proportions if be lias the push and go and the "good business common sense which enables him to raise and sell to the best possible advantage, concludes an American Cultivator correspondent.

Sow Abort the Middle of Jr.ly. I have been sowing tur.nip seed in my cornfield for nearly 50 years. On« year I sowed 30 pounds of seed on 30 acres and harvested about 10,000 bushels of turnips and a good crop of corn, says a writer in Orange Judd Farmer. Plant the conn in straight rows and keep the cultivator going until about the middle of July. Mien'sow the turnip seed directly after the last cultivation. If two or three dashing showers fall in a week or so. no covering is needed. If my ground is ready and showers are in prospect I hasten to sow my seed. If no rain comes, the seed must be lightly covered, much as you would clover seed. Two »r three boards fastened together and drawn between the rows of corn cover__the seed very nicely. A strap leaved turnip ef the best variety will grow almost 'anywhere provided the plant can get a start. I want my tunnips for feeding all the way from September to February, and I want a lot of them. Bushel for bushel they are worth more than mangels during this time. Give the cattle and sheep.plenty of turnips, and no medicine' will be needed. • Turnips should be stored as near the stock a* possible, so they can be easily fed.

I have a cellar under the driveway of my barn 10 by 32 by 10 feet, which I have filled with roots more than once.

One federal officeholder recently made an appeal for screens for the building_ where he worked, saying that within a hundred yards were three livery stables, one mule boarding house, one horse sanitarium with operating table, and one fish morgue. He added that his handwriting had been spoiled by the constant endeavor to write and keep off flies at the same time.

This point, says a writer in Lippincott's, wa£ urged in a heated discussion between an ardent supporter of Douglas and a German voter who favored Lincoln. Finally the former, thinking to overwhelm his opponent,' said: "Who is this Lincoln, anyhow? Nobody ever heard of him until Senator Douglas brought him into notice by holding a joint debate with him. Senator Douglas, on the other hand, is a great statesman. Why, he has had his eye on the presidential chair for the last ten years!" "Vot is dot you say?" was the reply.

The Strike. The steel workers were rejoicing Saturday over tho fact that the MK- . wnukee workers in the Bay View plant of the Illinois Steel Co. decided to strike. though there were reports that the MeKeosport men might go back to their work, thus adding a weakening of forces in the east. It in , „ said that the plant at Bay View will ^ be shut down indefinitely and about 1,- 400 men will be thrown out of work. Leaders of the Amalgamated association declare the action o f ^ i b e Bay' LVicjvy. men will h a v e a u "important _ _ l»earlng upon the sltuatlbn. They claim that South Chicago will be influenced, in the same direction. Of the 1.400 men who were employed at the Buy View mills, 21!> belong to the Amalgamated association. They are the tonnage nien. Besides the union men, there were 200 other skilled men employed. The engineers and roll turners formerly belonged to the Anialganuited association and are in symp a t i c with them. Employment was given to 1.000 unskilled men. 200 of whom worked In the bldst furnaces. The wages paid the men who have gone out of this plant amounted, to $1)0,000 per month. The news that the Bay View men were to stand by the Amalgamated association was a surprise to the South Chicago workers. Some in the streets declared that at Inst the local workers would be forced to quit. There were others, however,^ who asserted that it was too late now to act. Should they strike now, It was declared, the Amalgamated association would see to it that they were taken back at less pay than when they quit, The now« that the Milwaukee men had decided to cast their fortunes with the strikers, supplemented by the wir ed announcement that the steel men in tho Riverside plant at Wheel lug had voted to strike, awakened new enthusiasm in the ranks of the Amalgamated 'association and It?* followers In Pittsburg. Tliere is a strong possibility that there will be an early break in the ranks of the strikers at McKeesport. Many of the unorganized men have become dissatisfied and make no secret of their threat to go boldly back to the National Tube Co. and ask for their places just'as soon as they gain sufficient following to withstand pressure from the strikers or are given a gunrant< • of personal protection. Several of them, in stating their position, say that they have everything to lose and ncViing to gain by staying out. They are merely out in ah effort to strengthen the. hand of the Amalgamated association. When tlie con-test ends, they say. they can see nothing in it for them but loss of wages and possibly a loss of place. The great western works of th<w American Tin Plate Co. at Joliet never will be reopened. This declaration was made by a representative of the combine located In Joliet. His statement ho said was based on positive information, although he declined to pive his authority. Following the utterance came news of the transfer of the general manager and of the foreman of the plant to other places. The Do^vasrer-EmpreHi'C Hnnlmrul. A story lias reached Paris that Emperor William of Germany has conferred upon Count Von Seekendorff, the alleged husband of tho dowager empress, the grand cordon of the Hohenzollern Family Order. This is regarded as a tactful act of mollification on the part of his majesty. Seckendorfi'. though bitterly protesting, was not permitted to exercise the rights of a husband, to act as chief mourner at the services over the empress' remains. He defied the kaiser and threatened to appeal to the law of Prussia for protection. The kaiser is now fearful of seandnls. He has become unusually j sensitive on this point, and very nut *• urally sees that the biggest scandal of all concerning the royal family of Germany would be in exposures by Count Yon Seckendorff. Hence this decoration, a most unusual one to be conferred on any but a meml>er of royalty. TIJC kaiser has forbidden the Berlin journals to discuss tho matter. A Cleveland Horror. Fire caused by a boiler explosion,, early Wednesday, destroyed a Cleveland temporary water works crib two miles out In Lake Erie, resulting In the death of at least 10 men, while two others were probably fatally Injured. In addition to a large nnmber of workmen, who were In tne crib. I t others were nt work In the tnnnel leading from*It 200 feet below the bottom of the lake. As air which was pumped from the crib to supplyvthe men working In the tunnel was cut off as a result of its destruction, It "was' at first supposed that these had all perished. Subsequently, however, nine "were rescued after heroic work on the part of fellow workmen. One, and possibly two men, are supposed to be lying dead in the tunnel, too far away from the shaft to b * reached.

In the .first,place the territory of the Republic Of'Colombia is ten times as large taa that of the State of Illinois, while Its population is only 6,000, against '4,800,000 in Illinois. In the second placetthe attacks on the present government of Colombia have been so 'many during recent years that the Colombian army has been greatly en-. 'larged. It is now said to consist of upward cof 40,000 well-drilled and experienced soldiers, who are under the • command of able generals. The government is conservative, and its 1 friends say that it is devoted to building up the trade and commerce of the ^republic On the other hand, even his bitterest enemies admit that General Urlbe- Unoe, the revolutionist leader (reported/ dead, bAit report is not credited) is ,& man of spotless personal character, mho .'is actuated by the purest motives. over the mountain trails, and to endure the hardships of camp life in the splendid physique and the courage which has enabled him to win no less than forty-six pitched battles, coming off victorious and scatheless in every one he has been engaged in. In the meantime his ambitious parents saw that the boy's education was not neglected. After he had finished at the little mountain school he was sent to the great national university of Bogota, the capital of Colombia, which Is also a mountain city located far in the interior and thousands of feet above the sea level. Here the young man graduated and then went back to his mountain home to practice GENERAL URIBE-URIBE. :He is at the same time one of the most picturesque characters ever developed |>n the isthmus. He is only 40 years <>ld, tall, athletic, and unsmiling. There is nothing of the adventurer or swashbuckler in his appearance. Ho is a man who takes everything seriously and who know3 how to work hard and to dare greatly. He came to the United States last February with a number of his staff, including R. Perez, his private secretary, whose wife is a Chicago girl. Even at that time the revolution was well under way, and General Uribe-Uribe directed its operations for several weeks from his profession as a lawyer. Almost Immediately he was chosen by his fellowtownsmen to represent his native town in the national Chamber of Deputies, corresponding to the lower house of Congress In this country. Uribebribe soon developed great powers as an orator, writer, and leader in the House. The Conservative party was in control of the government, and Urlbe thundered in vain in favor of a free press, free speech, and free education. These reforms were resisted by the government, and finally the people of Urlbe-Uribe's mountain home rose in revolt. Their first revolution was In 1876, and Lribe threw himself at once Into" their cause. He soon won a wide reputation as a brave and able soldier. A second revolt occurred in 1885, and Jn this struggle Uribe won great fame, becoming the leader of the insurgent forces. Time apd time again, at the head of only 300 mountaineers, Uribe won victories over larger numbers of government troops. Once when a few of the men under his command mutinied Uribe shot the leader with his own hand and reduced the other to submission in a few minutes. Finally he was captured and thrown Into prison. When he was brought to trial his defense wa3 so logical and eloquent that he was acquitted without a moment's hesitation. In the latter part of 1899 another insurrection broke out at the head 'of which Uribe promptly placed himself During this struggle, which has been almost continuous ever since, Uribe performed many feats of daring and heroism. On one oecasion the rebel army lay on one side of a stream facing a greater force of tho enemy. A narrow bridge formed the only passage way over the deep river. Uribe finally announced that at a certain hour he personally, with the first ten volunteers, would cross that bridge and lead a charge on the unsuspecting army. The first volunteer was a negro sergeant, whom Uribe took by the hand, and, leading him out before his army, cried out: "Soldiers, this is Sergeant Zuleta. who will cress the bridge, hand in hand with me. I name him Captain for his bravery." Forthwith the whole rebel army volunteered, and when the time came the general and the negro sergeant led what proved to be a successful charge against the rebel army. During his stay in the United States his Broadway hotel. While in, this General Uribe-Uribe was anxious to country he made friends with many ! explain what led, him to take up arms prominent business men. who were j against the government of his native impressed with his plain sincerity and ; ]and. He declared that personal ambihis patriotic fervor. Uribe-Uribe was born up in the mountains of Antochia, in the interior of Colombia and on the crest of the Andes. His mother was famous for her beauty, while his father was an athlete and rancher. Many patriots ^*nd fighters for liberty have been born in the mountains, and the friends of Uribe-Uribe point out that bi3 was the proper birthplace for a man destined t o rescue his country from the hands of "corrupt and tyrannical politicians." While a boy he was taught by his father to break and ride the wild horses of the hills, to .take long tramps tion had nothing to do with it. On the conthary, he declared he was fighting for the oppressed people of Colombia. In answer the friends of the present government enter a general denial. They say that the frequent revolutions have been the cause of the depreciation of the currency, and they declare Uribe to be a fraud and an ally of Dictator Castro of Venezuela, whose idea it is to combine Equador, Venezuela, and Colombia into one government, with himself at the head as Emperor. They say that Uribe is in the pay pf British bondholders. - ftf Bomth Aaawtea* Revolt., Regarding the situation in the Venezuela- Colombia disunite. President Castro has informed President McKlnley: "It is the povernmeat's opinion that the conservatives, of Colombia, probably led by ruinous and wicked paMsloiiH,, have resolved to assist in a revolutionary movement against Venezuela and her government. When the government of Venezuela was surprised by the first and second Invasions of her frontier by 6,000 and 2,000 men, respectively, the invaders were victoriously expelled by the government and the people of Venezuela. Since said events, 10,000 men' have been massed. 011 the frontier for the defense and integrity of Venezuela and its national honor. These are quite apart from her active service troops 0« other parts of the frontier, ng well as national troops scattered over the republic and the reserve militia now under arms. Venezuela has not accepted the invasion as an interontjonal attack by the i>eople of Colombia against the people of Venezuela, but, knowing .to* renl source, recogmlze in It the work of the conservative government of Colombia ajrninst the majesty of the nation of Venezuela." There are Indications that there will bo n considerable gathering of foreign warships at the isthmus, and that American ships will lx» brought into UNITED STATK8 CONSULATE AT COLON. A Schley Surprise. There Is said to be a big surprise In store for the navy department when the court of inquiry meets to Investigate the charges against Schley. Jere Wilson, the noted lawyer of Washington, will be one of Schley's counsel, and It 4s said that former Secretary of the Navy Benjamin F. Tracy, of New York, will also appear on that side of the case. That is the surprise which may worry Secretary Long. Gen. Tracy is one of the greatest lawyers in the United States, and was Harrison's secretary of the navy, and it is whispered that his part In the cases will be so to handle the witnesses as to reveal political favoritism and petty department scandals which will not only assist to create the impression that Schley is the victim of bureau jealousies, but will also embarrass the administration. It is intimated by Schley's friends that Tracy will so develop the bmeautmtlc methods of the navy department before the court as to create a sensation if not a naval scandal and compel a complete overhauling of the department. Wealthy men in New York and Boston have taken up the cause of Schley and stand ready to contribute all the money needed for the employment of counsel and it Is Intimated that there will be other great lawyers in the case when it comes to a hearinjar.

It is known that damage has been done Along the water front in that city, but whether there has been loss of Ufe or not is mere conjecture. Nothing has been heard from the country south of Mobile up to the time the last wire to Mobile failed.

The water Is over three feet deep in the room and it is Btill rising. The wind is blowing at the rate of fifty miles an hour and we look for worse things tonight. The business district is deserted." Here the wire failed and nothing more couid be heard from hiin. The water at 3 o'clock was reported aS high as in the great flood of 1893, although at that time the wind was not so high. From Mobile to Fort Morgan is thirty-five miles, and on both sides of the bay summer resorts and summer houses are located. These were, it is believed, in the direct path of the storm, {t is feared that there has been some loss of life on the islands in Mississippi Sound, just outside of the bar below Fort Morgan. These islands, inhabited by French fishermen, are only four or five feet above the water under ordinary stage, and were the scene of great loss of llf,e in 1893. Twenty miles of Louisville & Nashville track through Tensas swamp, west of Mobile, is under water. From reports of damage done between New Orleans and Mobile, it is believed several days will elapse before the wires are restored outside. A dispatch received from Mobile early in the afternoon read: "Under a forty-mile gale the river here has overflowed the cotton wharf and Front and Commerce streets. Water street is flooded two feet deep between St. Michael and Congress. Rowboats were employed to bring out members of the Cotton Exchange at noon." New Orleans, La., Aug. 17.—A report from Port Eads says all the people living on the east bank of the river have moved up to "Jump," fifteen miles from the mouth of the river. The house of George Cobden, half a mile above the quarantine station, was swept away and fifteen members of the family, including nine children, drowned. The quarantine buildings were badly damaged, but no one injured. The big towboat Chamberlain was driven high in the marsh. Her crew are safe. The government boat General Reese is believed to have been lost. Captain O'Brien's house was swept away, but ho was on the boat, which was believed to be outside. The pile driver at Port Eads was sunk. Up to midnight everything seemed to be safe at the Mississippi coast P r o b a b l o H a r d c * . Developments in the cos* of Ptrey Oummlngs; whose death resulted frftfc falling or being pushed between the shafts and wheel of a 'wagon in whlc!> he and his brother were riding from Baldwin home, have led to tbe arrestt of James Cummings on a charge of murder. A man named Wright, living near Stearns, between Baldwin anal the Cummings farm, swore to hearing the sound of quarreling at about the time the brothers would have passed* and recognized the voice of James, to whom,the other cried: "Oh, don't!" Another man* named Demaro, heard the dispute, but could not distinguish the words. It waa in this vicinity A billy was found. Justice Gunn ordered the body disinterred, and a second examination revealed bruises upon the head as of some blunt instrument, which the doctors say could not have been inflicted by the spokes of the wheel. James Cummings was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Wright, and Is now in jail. He is married and has two children. A n H o n o r e d J n d t r e G o n e .

Mass., and who has an office h> Xe\V York, speaking of the prospective strike among the operators In New England, is quoted as saying that the mill owners of Fall River had announced fho proposed reduction in wages for the purpose of precipitating a strike which would afford them an opportunity to dispose of a surplus of goods that is at present choking up the mills. communication having lreon j towns—Bay St. Loul3, Pass Christian, resumed from one point, which is central. The general report is that aside \ from damage to wharves and lmthhorscs, sail boats and smacks, tre^s, outhouses and fences, the instances of serious loss are few. There has l>eon no loss of life, as far as is known in Mobile and vicinity. A now Orleans dispatch says: It is learned that while the damage had been severe at all points, wharves and bath houses being swnpt away, there had boon no loss of life except one fisherman missing from Bay St. Louis. IBiloxi, Mississippi City and Ocean Springs—but since then not a word has been heard from them. All wires are down, but no great fear is entertained. Several large factories in New Orleans, notably Carres' lumber plant and j the Crystal ice factory, had to be closed i down on account of the inundation. S t n r v n t l o n I n Runnia.

Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 17.—A report from Mobile received over a railroad wire says that the mill cf the Dixie Lumber company, two miles north of Mobile, was carried away by the storm, and several employes were killed. This is said to be the largest lumber mill in Mobile. District Observer Chaffee of the weather bureau says of the storm conditions: "While the storm is moving slowly northeastward, it has increased its energy, the barometer reading as low as 29.44 inches at New Orleans, and its velocity of revolution around the center is steadily increasing. "There will be no settled weather over this region until the gulf storm moves over to the north, which will probably be by this afternoon or tonight." A stiff southeast wind has been blowing in Montgomery since 6 o'clock last night It was accompauied by a heavy downpour of rain.

If you're running a dairy,—be there one cow or one hundred— your profit dedends upon the quality of cream you're getting. If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. By the old system of milk-setting you lose from ten to twenty per cent, of the cream, besides doing n*tbt of unnecssary work. | Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change an temperture nud consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because of the cream being the lighter it ia forced to the top. ' You get all the cream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, the cream is smooth, sweet, firm and clean, and requires less than half the time formerly required to churn it. The butter is better, sweeter, and you get from teu to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. You can wash it in two minutes and have ready for the next .milking. : Taking it all kn all> it saves the womeu's work, costs leas 'than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, jars, crocks, cans, etc., beside* saving enough cream in one year tn pay for itself tenfold.

It willbe remembered that last year the town board gave a franchise to a "'company" that proposed building from Mason to Stock bridge and Dexter, b u as beleivd at the time, the company was only on paper.

The most of those who become ministers are the sons of those who had terrific struggle to get their everyday bread. The collegiate and theological education of that son took every luxury from the parental table for eight years. The other children were more scantily apparelled. The son at college every little while got a bundle from home. In it were the socks that mother had knit sitting up late at night, her sight not as good as once It was. And there also were some delicacies from the Bister's hand for the voracious appetite of a hungry student, The-father swung the heavy cradle through the wheat, the sweat rolling from his chin bedewing every step of the way, and then sitting down under the cherry tree at noon thinking to himself, "I am fearfully tired, but it will pay if I can once see that boy through college, and if I can know that he will be preaching the gospel after I am dead." The younger children want to know why they can't have this and that, as, others do, aad the mother says, "Be patient, my children, until your brother graduates, and then you shall have more luxuries, but we must see that boy through." The years go by, and the son has been ordained and is preaching the glorious gospel, a n d a great revival comes, and souls by scores and hundreds accept the gospel from the lips of that young preacher, and father and mother, quite old now, are visiting the son at the village parsonage, and at the close of a Sabbath of mighty blessing father and mother retire to their room, the son lighting the way and asking them if he can do anything to make them more comfortable, saying if they want anything in the night just to knock on the wall, and then, all alone, father and mother talk over the gracious influences of the day and say: "Well, it was worth all we went •WcpclWsff"f?i iffiiwr^^ times carry i* guns looking through rfttlumr s ^ t f t f l h ^ the porthofce *eady to open tottfe, but the tiny avail on the Kile aeemt to he armed with aft the guns of thunder that bombarded «Jlnai at the lawgiving.

They have positive evidence that he is in the house of one • of the Christians, the balcony of whose home reaches over the wall. "Here he Is! Here he is!" The vociferation and blasphemy and howling of the pur- -4mers are at the front door. They break in. "Fetch out that gospelizer -- and let us hang his head on the city • gate. Where Is he?" The emergency eras terrible. Providentially there was • a good stout basket in the house. Paul's friends fasten a rope to the lfcasket. Paul steps Into it. The basket tts lifted to the edge of the balcony on V i e wall, and then while Paul holds the rope with both hands his friends lower away, carefully and cautiously, slowly but surely, farther down and farther down, until the basket strikes the searfh and the apostle steps out and ;afoot and alone starts on that famous •missionary tour the story of which has ; astonished earth and heaven. Approp r i a t e entry in Paul's diary of travels: "Through a window in a basket was I ,-let down by the wall." * observe first on what a slender ten- 'wre great results hang. The rope-maker w h o twisted that cord fastened to t h a t lowering basket never knew how Eauch would depend upon the strength -of it. How if it had been broken and t h e apostle's life had been dashed out? "What would have become of the Chris- 'tlan church? All that magnificent "missionary work in Pamphylla. Cappadocia, Galatia, Macedonia would never ''have been accomplished. All his writi n g s that make up so indispensable and enchanting a part of the New 'Testament would never have been •vrritten.

It was a hard pull, but we held on till the work was done. The world may not know it, but, mother, we held the rope, didn't we?" And the voice, tremulous with joyful emotion, responds: "Yes, father, we held the rope. I feel my work is done. Now, Lord, Iettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation." "Pshaw!" says the father. "I never felt so much like living in my life as now. I want to see what that fellow Is going to do, he has begun so well."1 Something occurs to me quite personal. I was the youngest of a large family of children. My parents were neither rich nor poor.* Four of the sons wauled a college education, and four obtained It, but not without great home struggle. We never heard the old p*jople say once that they were denying tl-emselves to effect this, but I remember now. that my parents always looked tired. I don't think they ever got rested until they lay down in the Soraerville cemetery. Mother would sit down in the evening and say, "Well, I don't know what makes me feel S3 tired." Father would fall Immediately to sleep, seated by the evening stand. overcome with the day's fatigues. About 35 years ago the one and about 37 years ago the other put down the burdens cf this life, but they still hold the rope. Recognition of Blessing*. 0 men and women, you brag sometimes how you have fought your way irv the world, but I think there have been helpful influences that you have never fully acknowledged. Has there not been some influence in your early or present home that the world cannot see? Does there not reach you from among the New England hills or from the western prairie or from southern plantation or from English or Scottish or Irish home a cord of influence that has kept you right when you would have gone astray and which, after you had made a crooked track, recalled you? The rope may be as long as 30 years or 500 miles long or 3,000 miles long, but hands that went out of mortal sight long ago still hold the rope. You want a very swift h o n e , and you need to rowel him with sharpest spurs and to let the reins lie loose upon the neck anc to give a shout to the racer if you are going to ride out of reach of your mother's prayers. Why, a ship crcr&ftjp the Atlantic In six days can't sail away from that. A sailor -finds them on the lookout as he takes h's place and finds them on the mast as he climbs the ratlines to disentangle a rope in the tempest and finds them swinging on the hammock when he turns in. Why not be frank and acknowledge it?

Charles O. Finney said to a dying Christian, "Give my love t o S t Paul when you meet him." When you and I meet him, as we will, I shall ask him to introduce me to those who got him out of the Damascene peril. We go into long sermons to prove that we will be able to recognise people ir heaven, when there is one reason we fail to present, and that is bettor than all—God will introduce us. We shall have them all pointed o u t You would not be guilty of the impoliteness of having friends in your parlor not introduced, and celestial politeness will demand that we be made acquainted with all the heavenly household. What rehearsal of old times and recital of stirring reminiscences! If others fail to give introduction, God will take us through, and before our first 24 hours In heaven—if it were calculated by earthly timepieces—have passed we shall meet and talk with more heavenly celebrities than in our entire mortal state we met with earthly celebrities. Many who made great noise of usefulness will sit on the last seat by the front door of the heavenly temple, while right up within arm's reach of the heavenly throne will bs many who, though they could not reach themselves or do great exploits for God, nevertheless held the rope. Patient, Uncomplaining Service. Come, let us go right up and accost those on the circle of heavenly thrones. Surely they must have killed rn battle a million men. Surely they must have been buried with all the cathedrals sounding a dirge and all the towers of all the cities tolling the national grief. Who art thou, mighty one 6f heaven?

Take, for Instance, Maecheroni'8 exquisite ballad, 'For All Eternity.' 1 should not like to say what weight of gold that song has yielded, but not very long ago the copyright in it was considered to be worth £2,240, a sum for which it was sold b^ Messrs. Puttlck & Simpson, the auctioneers. And yet I believe that very song was offered to a London publisher for a £ 1 0 note, and refused by him. Think of refusing a thousand sovereigns for every one laid down! But then, of course, one must remember the risk we publishers run. It is a fact that, of every hundred songs offered to me, barely one is worth the cost of printing and publishing; and a song that will yield a few hundreds of profits is literally one in a thousand. Among songs that have produced more than £10,000 in profit I should place first Sullivan's world famous 'Lost Chord.' This song was substantially composed in less than an hour, and for that hour's work the composer received in royalties quite £10,000—probably the largest sum any man has ever earned in an hour by his brain. Then, again, that ever gree,n song, 'In Old Madrid/ must have brought its publisher a profit of nearly £20,000 by this time, for its popularity was at the flood for many years. Among other gold mines I should place 'The Better Land,' 'The River of Years,' 'Forever and Forever,' 'Goodby,' 'The Devout Lover,' 'Nancy Lee'—to mention only half a dozen, the aggregate profjts from which cannot have been a penny less, than £fift,ft00.

"I was for 30 years a Christian invalid and suffered all the while, occasionally writing a note of sympathy for those worse off than I, and was general confidant of all those who had trouble, and once In awhile I was strong enough to make a garment for that poor family in the back lane."

"I was the mother who raised a whole family of children for God, and they are out in the world Christian mer* chants, Christian mechanics, Christian1 wives, and I have had full reward for all my toil." Let us pass on in the circle of thrones. "I had a Sabbath school class and they were always on my heart, and they all entered the kingdom of God, and I am waiting for their arrival." But.who are thou, the mighty one of heaven on this other throne? "In time of bitter persecution I owned a house in Damascus,, a house on the wall. A man who preached Christ was hounded from street to street and I hid him from the assissins, and when I found them breaking into my house and I could no longer keep him safely I advised him to flee for his life, and a basket was let down over the wall with the maltreated man In it, and I was one who helped hold the rope." And I said: "Is that all?" And he answered: "That is all." And while I was lost in amazement I heard a sfrong voice that sounded as though it might once have been hoarse from many exposures, and triumphant as though it might have belonged to one of the martyrs, and it said: "Not many mighty, not many noble are called, but God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty, and base things of the world and things which are despised hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not to bring to naught things which are. that no flesh should glory in his presence.** And I looked to see from whence the voice came, and lo! It was t h e very one who had said, "Through a window in a basket was I let down by tha wall." Nothing unimportant In your life or mine. Three naughts placed on the right side of the figure one make a thousand, and s i r naughts on the right side of the figure one a million, and our nothingness placed on the right side may be augmentation illimitable.

Of course, if a song has anything in it, it is a fatal thing to sell it outright to a publisher, as so many composers have done, to their lasting regret.. It is old history that 'Katnleen Mavoumeen,' which never seems t o ' lose Ua charm for the public, was sold for £ 5 i 1 scarcely dare speculate how much the unhappy composer must have • lost by this bargain. Some of Mr. Milton Welllng's best songs changed hands for absurd prices, the composer scarcely receiving a pound for every j thousand made by his publishers.

At this juncture Selim, who had opened a door, and gone on a few steps in advance, came hurriedly back, with a look of alarm in his face. "I bear footsteps in the passage overhead," he said, in a whisper. "Are you sure?" "Yes. I heard them very plainly." "What Is the passage of which you apeak?" asked Julian. "It is one through which we must pass," replied Osmir, "and one in which we had expected to find no obstacle." 'It may be," suggested Selim, "thai '\-i fr •••» a new guard has been set there." "That cannot be," asserted Osmir. "I came through there only a short time since, and the place was empty. Hark —I hear the steps from here—and I think? they are coming this way. Hold, a moment Remain where you are, and I will find what this means." % Thus speaking, Osmir glided away into the darkness, towards the point Where the stairs led down from the upper passage. After an absence of a few minutes he returned, and his first exclamation told that he was excited. "The king is coming!" "The king!" repeated Julian, in a quick, deep whisper. "Yes—and two . of his guards are with him. Borne one else came as far as the uead of the stairs with them, but I think only the king and the guards are descending." "He must be coming to see me," said Julian. "it must be so/' answered Osmir; "for there is nothing else here for him to see, save uare damp walls and toads." "Hark! Here they come. I hear their, voices, and can see where the rays of their lantern breaks in the gloom." It was Selim who said this, and as he spoke he drew back, and hid his own lantern beneath the skirt of his tunic. Our adventurers, from where they stood, could see the foot of the steps at the far end of the passage; and presently they saw two men descend, the foremost one bearing a lantern, and wearing the robes of the king, while the other seemed to be an officer of the household. "I see now," said Osmir, as he gained a view of the approaching men. "I wis mistaken. The guards have been left behind, and this is Benoni, one of the captains of the guard, who comes with the king." The robber chieftain was for a moment undecided as to the course he should pursue. Once his sword was half drawn from its scabbard; but Osmir, who heard the movement, seemed to have a better idea. "My master," he whispered, touching Julian upon the arm, "let us draw' back out of sight, and allow them to pass. They will certainly keep on to the dungeon we have left, and we win follow them thither." "You are right," replied the chieftain. "They,will be completely in our power when they have passed us." Just back of where our trio -stood was the door by which they had last pasted, and^poa one side-was a deep to the hiding place, with bis lantern held carefully before him, and his head •bowed, as though he ^ was fearful that he might make a misstep. He walked *lowty« and his frame shook with a pet'oeptlble tremor. When he reached the door he stopped, and turned toward* hfs companions. "Benoni," he said, "I think you may remain here. This is the last passage, and t will go the rest of the way alone." "I had better accompany you to the end, sire." "No—1 prefer to go alone." "But," urged the captain, "the way is Tough and dubious, and you. may miss your step." # "Out upon thee for an ass!" cried the Xing, indignantly. "Do you think_my step is growing feeble? I tell thee it was never stronger. I will go the rest of the way as I have said. I shall find Selim at the door of the dungeon, and he will render me such assistance as I may need there. I must see this prisoner alone. He possesses a secret which I must fathom before he loses his bead." "f beg thee, sire, be careful." "Peace, good Benoni. Don't fret on my account I know what I do. I'll find out the story of this robber's life, and then his head shall come off right quickly. Stay, you here, and await my return." , Thus speaking, the king moved on, and when the sound of his uncertain, stumbling footfall could be no longer heard, Julian reached forth until his hand touched one of his companions. "Who is this?" he asked, in a hushed whisper. It was Selim. "There is no time to lose. The captain must be disposed of quickly. Uncover your lantern, and I will throttle him." Selim did as directed, and as soon as the rays of light fell upon the captain, the latter started to gaze about him. But his 'free-will movements were quickly terminated by a blow from the first of the robber chieftain, which niche la the .wall, which had evidently bem constructed for tot reception, ot rubbish. Into this they quickly glided. Selim SQ effectually, cloaking his. Ian* teife that iWt a ray oT Wgat escaped la a Uttle while the king came near ^ relied mm to the floor, and before be could move or cry out, he was securely bound, and Osmir's sash passed over his mouth. "Now," cried Julian, "for the king. He will be an easy Bubject to dispose of." "And how will you dispose of him?" asked Osmir. For an instant a dark thought struggled through Julian's mind. Here was an opportunity to put his worst enemy out of the way, and, at the same time, free the world from a ruler who had ceased to do justly. But the thought was not long entertained. The soul of the chieftain was above the doing of such a deed. Osmir noticed the hesitation, and tremblingly asked: "Will you kill him?" "No, no," was the quick reply. "That would be too cowardly. He is a poor foolish old man, whose, continued life must be the greatest curse. We will put him where he put me, and let his slaves find him after we are gone. Come—I will lead to this event, and then you shall lead to the next." Without further remark the robber moved on towards the dungeon where he had been confined, Selim going by his side with the lantern. Pretty soon they saw the king ahead of them, whereupon Selim was suffered to go on in advance. Horam had reached the door of the dungeon just as Selim came up. "Ha, Selim, is this you?" "Yes, sire." "I did not see you when I came. Where have you been hiding?" "I have not been hiding, sire; but have been doing my duty." "And the prisoner?" "He is safe." "Open the door. I would speak with him. He is securely chained?" "No mortal man can break the chains wherewith he was bound, sire." "Then open—quick. His arms are bound?" "Like iron, sire." "And he cannot move from his place?" "The chains all center upon the bolt in the floor." "Then you may remain without. Selim. I wish to speak with the prisoner alone." Selim had no particular understanding with his companions touching this movement; but he understood that Julian would act when he saw fit, so he proceeded to unbolt the door and throw it open. "We can shut him in and leave him," whispered' Osmir, when he saw the king about to pass into the dungeon. "No, no," ' quickly returned Julian, "I have another thought. I pay find use for those royal robes which he weara." "By the godar cried Osmir, "the priaa is worth tea thousand times more thaa I had thought.

CHAPTER XIL - A Royal Disguise. Until the present time Julian had thought of overcoming the king without a word—of felling him to the pavement and binding him, and leaving him in ignorance of who bad done it; but a different fancy seised him aa he saw the monarch enter the dungeon. The temptation to face his deadly enemy, and let him know to what ha owed his disgrace, was too strong to be resisted. The thought that he could now place his foot upon the neck of the king of Damascus, and grant the poor life which he had* the power to take, was not to be passed by. And then the robber chieftain had another reason for wishing to speak with the king, since the opportunity had thus unexpectedly offered itself. Horam had come on purpose to see him, to learn some secret. Our hero had a 45uriosity to know what this meant- "Stay a moment where you are," he said,.addressing the blacks; and thus speaking he passed into the dungeon Just as the king had discovered that no prisoner was there. "Ho! Selim!" shouted the monarch, turning his f-?e to the door. "What Is the matter here? Is not this the—" He stopped, for the Hght of his lantern, falling upon the face of the man who had followed him in, revealed another face than that of Selim. "Horam," spoke the chieftain, "you find the Scourge of Damascus not quite as powerless as you had expected." "What ho! Selim! Selim!" "Easy, old man. Selim will not come at your bidding. Let me Inform you that I am master, for the present, of this lower region, and Selim is my slave." "Mercy!" gasped the terrified king. "What ho! Benoni! Benoni!" "Benoni is in my power," said Julian. "He is bound hand and foot, and cannot help you. And, thou base, false man—thou, too, art in my power. Down in this deep dungeon, where the light of day cannot come, and where the noise of the upper world cannot penetrate, here I have thee as thou dld'st hope to have me.

The king's knees smote together, and the lantern dropped from his hand. "Mercy!" he cried. And then, as though remembering that he was king of Damascus, he clenched his hands, and tried to speak with the voice of authority. "Vile miscreant," he said, "let me pass! If you dare to oppose me, you shall be torn limb from limb!" "Easy, old man. I am your master now, and if you give me occasion, I may do you harm." There was that in the look, tone and bearing of the stalwart chieftain which caused Horam to quail. The lantern hart fallpn in pn upright position, and its light revealed quite plainly the features of the twolinen. "You will not kill me?" whispered the king. "No," replied Julian. "I should scorn the deed; and I should despise myself if I did it. I wish simply to do this. I mus* leave this palace tonight, and you must remain here in my plac*. Some of your slaves will find you in the morning. You must strip off that purple robe, and that golden chain; and I must have the jeweled crown from your head. Come—I have no time to waste." "Ye gods of heaven!" ejaculated Horam. "how can this thing be! Who ever heard of such a thing! Who dares to disrobe the king?" "I dare to do it!" replied the robber, sternly and quickly, at the same time taking a step forward. "Remove the garments instantly, or I shall tear them from you." "No, no; you dare not rob your king." "Peace, poor fool! Hesitate another minute, and I will smite you to the floor! Off with the robe!** The trembling monarch cast one look into the face of the man before him, and then shrank back against the wall. He was as a mere child, and for the time, while unable to do evil, he seemed an object of pity. "If I give yon these things will yon spare my life?" > "I told you once—yes. And once more I beg you to remember that my time is short You will save yourself some trouble if you obey me." This was spoken very slowly, each word dropping from the robber's lips with the weight of a death sentence; and the lowering of the brow, the swelling of the broad bosom, and the nervous working of the hands, told too plainly that the edict- must be obeyed.

What we have done we can do again. Persistence commands success, aud our wheat growers should apply all known [remedies and preventies against the fly and endeavor next year to equal past records in wheat growing The ravages of the fly can be very materially counter acted in Michigan by several methods not difficult of application. 1. By burning the stubble. This is very effective, and is being largely practiced in the west, and is effeciive not only in destroying the Hessian fly in the stubble, but hordes of other injurious insects.

By late sowing, in Michigan from the 1st tbe 10th of October, not before. Even latter sowing is permissible. This is generally very reliable, notwithstanding the experience of 1930 was valuable. Much, of course, depends upon the time of the fall when frosts appear and also the time when freezing weather sets in of sufficient degree to stop the growth of the plant. With winter coming as late as it did last year, even sowing in the first part is to early, while if we had an early setting in of winter it would, of course, be desirable to sow sufficiently early to get a reasonable amount of growth in the plant before winter.

Helen Weeks went to the city treasurers office, paid her taxes, and took a receipt, which she carefully filed away, without reading it however. A few days ago she was. informed that certain parties had a tax title on her poperty. Investigation showed that she had paid the taxes on anpthei womans property while her own had been sold for Ainpaid taxes and it is costing her a nice little sum to get the matter straigthened out.< And it was not her mistake either. —Milford Times.

In this issue two pages are given to the last^of that magazine's prize photo graphs of rural scenes, and the collection is a notable one, interesting alike to the picture-taker and the lover of pictures. Some of the scenes have all the distinguishing qualities of painting, with the added eharm of beins true to Nature. "Do you know," said a citizen, "that there is now, since wire fencing has been in reduced, no trouble to raise turkeys. They do not seem to fly over a wire fence. They always alight on the top rail of a fence when flying over. The wire gives them no such opportunity and they are confined to a field without difficulty. This county is the natural home for turkeys. The first settlers found the woods full of wild turkeys. Tliere is no reason why Washtenaw county should not be celebrat ed.. for its fine turkeys. They would bring a large amount of money to the farmers. They must look after something else than wheat to make money. T h e i r S e c r e t Is o u t .

One of the attractions of the Eaton Rapids street fair was a mysterious receptacle on the top of a step ladder in front of a drug store. "The famous red spider" was advertised, and the chump who was curious enough to cliuib the ladder, cautiously peered over into the dish to behold there an old brokeu handled frying pan, painted redv Then he as cautiously backed down the ladder and slid into the crowd not only to conceal himself, out to find another as big a fool as self, and reflect how easy it is a person to lie and tell the trut in the same words.—Leslie Local.

Of air the young men in the country, only five per cent are members of churches; of college young men, fiftytwo per cent are members of churches, so says Dean Hulbert of 6the University of Chicago. College life has its peculiar temptations, of course, but it abounds in opportunities also. A young man must grow. If he aims to grow upward, his college will help grandly. But he may prefer to grow downward, and that the college cannot always hinder. A fire recently broke out at Hermannsreuth, an Austrian village near the Bavarian frontier, A Bavarian fire brigade, which was stationed only three miles away, hastened to the rescue, but the Austrian customs authorities refused to allow the fire engines to pass the frontier without paying the usual tax on imported machinery. The Bavarian firemen naturally turned back and half the village was burned down before the nearest Austrian fire brigade could reach the scene.

One piece" of gossip of the London clubs is startling and interesting. It tells of seriouslrWbterTrt the -eourt of the cznr of Russia which may have a far-reaching effect. It is well known that the czar is bitterly disappointed because no son has been born to succeed him on the throne, this disappointment being softened only by his devotion to the czarina. It is now declared, according to this club gossip— participated in by well known diplomats— that the czarina is altogether unlikely to give birth to a sou, and if she could do so, such son would certainly be a weakling. This statement is said to have been made by phys'- cians near to the court. It has exclte.d the Russian cabinet, members >of which believe that the czar should adopt one of two alternatives—divorce the czarina and remarry, or declare the present czorewitch heir t o tne throne and hasten his marriage to the Princess Margaret, one of the daughters of the Duke of Connaught.

"Hero comes Mr. Radnor," cried a pretty fair-haired girl in Wue. "Come and have your hand read; we all want to know your future." "Many thanks/' said Radnor, laughingly; "X shall be very glad to accommodate you if Miss Compton is not too tired." As he spoke his eyes met those of the palmist for an instant—his grave and determined; hers sparkling and defiant. What a childish-looking little thing she was! Radnor seeing her now in her short gypsy dress, her heavy braids -of dark hair hanging over her shoulders, could have easily imagined that the seven years since their last meeting had been swept away, so little changed was she. "I am not tired/* sho said quietly, though the pale face and deep purple shadows under her eyes belied her words. She took his hands in her cold, slender ones and the onlookers drew closer about them. "You have a long life, good health, no nerves to speak of, rather cold; yet you. win people easily. Mathematical, logical, argumentative, a free-thinker in religious matters, very ambitious, proud and self-willed, fond of luxury and not afraid, to work for it. Your success in life is assured." "And his marriage," cry half a dozen voices; "has he ever been in love? Is he ever going to be married?" And Adele went on, but a little more Slowly this time. "You have been in love twice, once in your early youth; the trace is almost faded out. The second time when 30 or 31; the line is cut and barred, some obstacle—I (she is breathing quickly) I do not see any more." She drops the hands and is turning away with a half-repressed gesture of relief, but the listeners are clamoring for the end. Adele shakes her head smiling. "That is the end; remember the powers of palmistry are limited." And the crowd moves away, laughing, protesting, leaving Radnor and the cheiromant together. For a moment he i'3 silent. In the great hall the band Is playing a wild fantastic Hungarian dance. In the drawing-room he can hear the murmur of fifty voices, among them Mrs. Mccormick's, silvery, a little too incisive, but highbred withal. Then he moves closer. "Adele," he says soitly, and there is a world of tenderness in his voice, but the girl does not move. "Adele, shall I tell the end that palmistry does not reveal?

Another Cleveland Horror. Six men were drowned Tuesday night as the result of an explosion of gas in the tunnel leading from the Cleveland water works crib No. 3. two miles from crib No. 2, where the fatal accident of last Wednesday occurred. The work of sinking the shaft at crib No. 3, which is three miles from shore, was completed yesterday. Six men were at once put to work digging a tunnel toward crib No. i. These men had hot been working but a short time when a terrific explosion of gas occurred. The casing of the tunnel was crushed and a torrent, of water fromthe lake rushed into the opening. Six men who were in the tunnel had not the slightest opportunity to escape, but perished oefore as sistanee could reae*i them. • ^ • S r ^ ^ ^ •ivMpyh Blorror* o< m J ^ M t l e As/less.

"Just five minutes, then; I am due somewhere else now. What can I do for you?" "Tell me the attraction, Recitation. Spiritualism, Theosophy, Punch and Judy or what?" "Nonsense," says Mrs. McCormick, coioring; "only palmistry." "Only palmistry!" he repeats. "Well?" For a moment there is a silence and the woman is watching him under her long lashes keenly. Most women like John Radnor, and Mrs. McCormick is very much of a woman. Every detail of an old story that had gone the rounds of L just after her coming is clear in her mind, and she is wondering just how much of it is true. John Radnor hardly looks like a man cisappointed in love—blighted—a woman- hater, as some people say he is*. True, he is 38 and unmarried. The halt on his temples is very gray and there are deep lines about the stern mouth that can soften wonderfully at times. Mrs. McCormick has, however, little faith in the one-love theory, still less in village gossip. She is roused by Radnor repeatlrtg his last word and plunge** in without more ado, "Do you remember the Comptons? I thought so," as Radnor makes a gesture of assent. "You know the son got into some trouble, disgraced himself, and the blow killed Professor Compton. The family moved out West somewhere and we all lost sight of them." She paused and again watched, him narrowly. Again Radnor makes the same assenting gesture, his face expresses polite interest, that is all, and she goes on: "Well, to make a long story short 1 heard by the mereat chance that Mrs. Compton and the daughter were back here, supporting themselves by coaching boy* for the Preparatory School > they were always , popular with the -faculty, you know. 1 went to tee them and discovered that Adele was a good assaianr palmist; indeed, she )s a A fire started by nh explosion in the works of the Atlantic Kenning Co. at Point Breeze, near Philadelphia, Monday night, destroyed over six hundred and fifty thousand barrels of oil and benzine by morning, which means a loss of $1,300,000.

Twenty minutes later Mrs. McCormick is holding out a gracious hand to Radnor, who is among the last to go. "Well, did yon find out?" she says, and Just then, the little cheiromant a water-proof drer her bright dress, the hood covering the heavy hair, comes down the stairs. —^- Radnor looks from one woman to the other, and then one of his rare, brilliant smiles softens the gravity of his face. "Yes, t found out." He hesitates an Instant and then says: "I think I most congratulate you. Mrs. McCormick, on the most successful affair of the season."
