When attending school at the Seminary at Backsport, Maine, the author worked as a clerk in a country store, in a neighboring village, and thereby earned mcney to defray his expenses at school. The characters in "Around the Stove" are to a certain extent reproductions of the "loafers" who came into this store on winter evenings to talk and exchange ,ly«rns" around the stove. Each person tells a story and the aim of the author is to portray the character of each man telling bis story, make each "yarn" fit the capacity of the one who tells it. t It requires from an hour and a half to two hours to render the scene around the stove, and it is a time that will never be-forgotten by those who attend and certainly should not be missed by anyone.

On arriving at the station, Sutherland called up a fly, and ordered it to drive with the greatest possible speed to the Hotel Suisse, a quiet establishment close to the boulevards. Once there, he ordered a private room, conducted Miss Hetherington to it, and proposed that she should wait there while he went in search of Marjorie. At first she rebelled, but she yielded at last "Yes, I will wait," she said. "I am feeble, as you say, Johnnie Sutherland, and not fit to face the fog and snow; byt you'll bring the bairn to me, for I cannot wait V p s ! " Eagerly giving his promise, Sutherland started off, and the old lady, unable to master her excitement, walked feebly about the room, preparing for the appearance of her child. She had the fire piled up; she had the table ladened with food and wine; then she took her stand by the window, and eagerly scanned the face of every passer-by. At length, and after what seemed to her to be hours of agony, Sutherland returned. He was alone. "The bairn; the balm!" she cried, tottering toward him. He made one quick step toward her, pRnght h>r in h<« OTITIS as he replled: "Dear Miss Hetherington, she has gone!" For a moment she did not seem able to understand him; she stared at him blankly and repeated: "Gone! where is she gone?" "I do not know; several weeks ago she left this place with her child, and she has not been seen since." The old woman's agony was pitiful to see; she moaned, and with her trem-: bllng fingers clutched her thin hair. "Gone!" she moaned. "Ah, my God, she is in the streets, she is starving!" Suddenly a new resolution came to her—with an effort she pulled herself together. She wrapped her heavy fur cloak around her and moved toward the door. "Where are you going?" demanded Sutherland. She turned round upon him with liv- %6-faeei— "Going!" she repeated, in a terrible voice. "I am going to him!—to the villain who first learned my secret and stole my bairn awa'!" Miss Hetherington spoke firmly, showing as much by her manner as by her speech that her determination was fixed. Sutherland therefore made no attempt to oppose her; bat he called up a fly, and the two drove to the lodgings which bad been formerly occupied by Marjorie and Caussidiere. To Sutherland's dismay, the rooms were empty, Caussidiere having disappeared and left no trace behind him. For a moment he was at a loss what to do. Suddenly he remembered Adele, and resolved to seek assistaaoe from her. Yet here again he was at a loss. It would he all very well for him to seek out Adele at the cafe, bat to take Miss Hetherington there was another matter. He therefore asked her to return to the hotel and wait wuletly there while he continued the search. This she positively refused to do. "Come awa', Johnnie Sutherland," she said, "and take me with you. If I'm a woman I'm an oM one, and no matter where I gang I mean to find my child." At seven o'clock that night the cafe was brilliantly lit and crowded with a rolaterous company. Adele, flushed and triumphant, having sang one of her most popular songs, was astonished to nee a man beckoning to her from the audience. Looking again, she saw that the men was none other than the young artist—Sutherland. Descending from her rostrum, she eagerly went forward to Join him, and the two passed out of the cafe and stood confronting each other in the street, -Adele," said Sutherland, seising her hands, "where is that —Caussldierer *X3s4maidierer' she repeated, staring at him in seeming amaaement.' , "Tea, Oftuoaidiere!

She hesitated for a moment, ^ h e n drew from her pocket a piece of paper, scribbled something on It In pencil,and pressed It into Sutherland's hand. "M<A7.sleur," she whispered, "if you find her I—I may see her? Once—only once again?" "Yes." "God bless you, monsieur!" She seized bis hand and eagerly pressed it to her lips, then, hastily brushing away a tear, she re-entered the cafe, and was soon delighting her coarse admirers with another song. Sutherland had been too much carried away by the work he had in hand 1o notice Adele's emotion. He opened the paper she had given him, and read toe address by the aid of the street lamp; then he returned to the- .fly, uhlch stood waiting for him at the i urbstone. He gave his directions to t«he driver, then entered the vehicle; liking his seat beside Miss Hetherington, who sat there like a statue. The vehicle drove off through a series of well-populated streets, then it {-topped. Sutherland leaped out, and to his confusion MIBS Hetherington rose to follow him. He made no attempt to oppose her, knowing well that any guch attempt would be useless. So the two went together up a darkwent hack to the cafe to make further inquiries of Adele. On one thing they were determined, not to rent night or t r y uitU they had found Mftrjorie— alive or dead. <;n« d court, and paused before a door. )'n answer to Sutherland's knock a little maid appeared, and he inquired in as firm a voice as he could command for Monsieur Caussidiere. Yes, Monsieur Caussidiere was at hocme, she said, and if the gentleman wculd give his name she would take it; but this Sutherland could not do. H<. slipped a napoleon into the girl's ha ad, and after a momentary hesitation she showed the two into the very room where the Frenchman sat. He was dressed not in his usual dandified fashion, but in a seedy morning coat; his face looked haggard. He was seated at a table with piles of paper before him. He looked up quietly when the door opened; then seeing MIBS Hetherington, who had been the flrbt to enter the room, he started to his fetit. Madame!" he exclaimed in French, say MademulgeTle~~Hetner- "her a new world tngton?" "Yes," she returned quietly, in the uame tongue, "Miss Hetherington. I have come to you, villain that you «««- fo/ my child!" "Your child?" "Ay, my daughter, my Marjorie! Where is she, tell me?" By this time Caussidiere had recovered from his surprise. He was still rather frightened, but he conquered himself sufficiently to shrug his shoulders, sneer and reply: "Really, madame, or mademoiselle, your violence is unnecessary. I know nothing of your daughter; she left me of her own free will, and I request you to leave my house." But the old lady stood firm. "I will not stir," she exclaimed, "until I have my Marjorie. You took her from her home, and brought her here. What have you done with her? If harm has come to her through you, look to yourself." The Frenchman's face grew livid; he made one step toward her, then he drew back. "Leave my house," he said, pointing to the door; "the person of whom you speak is nothing to me." "It is false; she is your wife." "She is not my wife! she was my mistress, nothing more!" Scarcely had the words passed his lips when the Frenchman felt himself seised by the throat, and violently hurled upon the ground. He leaped to his feet again, and once more felt Sutherland's hard hands gripping his throat "Coward as well as liar," cried the young Scotchman; "retract what you have said, or, by God! I'll strangle you!" The Frenchman said nothing, but he struggled hard to free himself from the other's fierce clutch, while Miss Hetherington stood grimly looking on. Presently Caussidiere shook himself free, and sank exhausted into a chair. "You villain!" he hissed; "you shall suffer for this. I will seek police protection. I will have you cast into prison. Yes, you shall utterly rue the day when yon dared to lay a finger upon me." But Sutherland paid no heed., FtneV GHAPTBR XXXIIL H W Mis* Hetherlntgon wag hastening te confront Caussidiere, Marjo* rie. with her child; was walking wearil y through t h e s t m t s ef Paris. As the daylight faded away the coldhad Increased; the snow was falling heavily, soaking her through and through. Suddenly she remembered what the milk-woman had told her; she would go to the English am haasador--perhape he would give her relief and enable her to get home. She paused once or twice te ask her way, but she eould get no answer. She was nothing more then a street wall, and was accordingly thrust aside ae such. At last a little gamin gave her the information she asked. The place she sought was three miles off. Three miles! She was footsore and faint; she had not a sou in her pocket; and her child was fainting with col* and hunger. It seemed to her that her last hope had gone. Then she suddenly remembered that a certain Miss Dove, a wealthy Bug* lish woman, had founded a home In Paris for her destitute countrywomen. She knew the address, it was nearer than the British Embassy. She dragged herself and child to it. She had just sufficient strength left to ring the bell, when she sank fainting on the threshold of the door. When Marjorie again opened her eyes she was lying in a strange bed. still bending above her. "Where am I?" she cried, starting up; and then she looked around for her child. A cold hand was laid upon her feverishly burning forehead, an4 she was gently laid back upon her pillow. "The child is quite safe," said a lowr sweet voice. "We have put him in a cot, and he la sleeping; try £o sleep, too, and when you waken you will be stronger, and you shall have the little boy." Marjorie closed her eyes and moaned, and soon fell into a heavy, feverish. sleep.

The room in which she lay was- small, but prettily fitted up. There7 were crucifixes on the wall, and dimity curtains to the bed and the windows; through the diamond panes the sun was faintly shining; a cosy fire filled the grate; on the hearth sat a woman, evidently a nurse; while on the hearth-rug was little Leon, quiet as a mouse, and with his lap full of toys. It wss so dreamy and so peaceful that she could just hear the murmur of life outside, and the faint crackling of the fire on the hearth—that was all. She lay for a time watching the two figures as in a vision; then the memory of all that had panted came back upon her, and she sobbed. In a moment the woman rose and came over to her, while little Leon ran to the bedside, and took her thin, white hand. "Mamma," he said, "dont cry!" For in spite of herself Marjorie felt the tears coursing down her cheeksv The nurse said nothing. She smoothed back the hair from her forehead, end quietly waited until the invalid's grief had passed away. Then she said gently: "Do not grieve, madam. The of your illness is over.

Miles' report shows that he has pitted up considerable information about the American army since he re^ turned from abroad. There was nothing in the fervor with which the Christians and Friends commingled in a joint service in Indianapolis w indicate that they were spiritual brethren. Y this homely but expressive figure, David seta forth t h e b a d ' influences which in olden time broke in upon God's herlt a g e , a s with swine's foot trampling, and as with awlne'a sn^ut uprooting the vineyards of prosper'ty. What was true then 1B true now. There have been enough trees of righteousness planted to overshadow Russell Sage denies that he has been the wbole earth, had it not been for invited by the president to organise an the a\e-men who hewed them down, opposition pool to buy in the Union The temple of truth would long ago Pacific. When there are a few millions to be made Russell is not a stickler for etiquette. Even the snail will turn. We refer especially to the Philadelphia Ledger, which says New Yorkers have become accustomed to sitting two or threa hours in the Broadway cable cars, waiting for the cable to start *p again. Sarah Bernhardt refused several years ago to play in Berlin because she hated the Germans. Now she wants to play there, but the proper authority refuses her a license, remarking with chilling politeness, "I will not he so tnipnlltn aa to permit a lady to contradlct herself." There Is only one thing to do if war Is to be prevented. The president and the czar must kiss each other over again, and keep &t it until they make the little kaiser ill. Annie Besant discovers that the women of this country are too restless, and that it is a natural result of their growing superiority to the American man. Apparently restlessness, in her view, in an affliction; but the curie of it, through some procesa looking t# inferiority, is not to be thought ~o* for a moment. The man must do his share. He must make it the chief object of his life to grow up to her superiority, and it is melancholy to reflect that on the whole he can't do it. TTp ic_the_tlme_of this writing, the have been completed, had it not been for *.he iconoclasts who defaced the walls and battered down the pillars. The whole earth would have been all Eschol of ripened clusters, had it not been tbat "the boar has wasted it and the wild beast of the field devoured it." I propose i& point out to you those whom I consider to be the destructive c'.cspes of society. First, the public Icrlmirals. You ought not to be surprised that these people maKe up a : large pre portion of many communities. ; In 1SG9, of the forty-nine thousand i psople who were incarcerated in, the i prisons of the country, thirty-two thousand were of foreign birth. Many of them were the very desperadoes of spcifcty, oozing into the slums oft our cities, waiting T^^n~~6ppoTtunlty to riot and Bteal and debauch, joining the lar.^e gang of American thugs and cutthroats. There are in our cities, people Whose entire business in life la to commit crime. That Is as much their business as jurisprudence or medicine or merchandise 1B your business. To it tbey bring all their energies of body, mind and soul, and they look upon the interregnums which -they spend In prUor as so much unfortunate loss of time, just as you look upon an attack of Influenza or rheumatism which fastens you In the house for a few days. It is their lifetime business to pick pockets, and blow up safes, and shoplift, and ply the panel game, and they have as much pride of skill In their business as you have in yours when you upset the argument of an oppoaiJIg__<^ nseli_or cure a gun-shot fracyellow fever outbreaTTTh cities nea ture which other^^rgepns^have glventhe Gulf of Mexico has been less dis-? . M ^ , ^ astrouTthan on any other occasion of ^ A V j ^ A ? ™ l n J * ° m a r k e t * the coming of that plague. The deathrate has been low, end in the larger cities there has been no panic. It would be interesting to know how far thU mitigation of horrors is the result of ike sensible course pursued by the authorities and the newspapers. Apparently the precise facts have been given out each day, with such comments as the situation warranted, and the people have calmly and Heroically faced the danger whereof thoy knew. Secrecy might have caused universal panic; and the panic la one of the most nourishing conditions of the plague. Since 1868. or during the last twenty. Bine years, Cuba has been in open re. volt nearly thirteen years. The ten years' war was very costly in blood and treasure, both to the mother conn. try and to the island, and there had not been great recovery from its ravages when the present insurrection broke oat in February. 1895. Since the last uprising the Spanish government has sent to Havana more than 260,000 men, the flower of the youth aad chivalry of the nation. Of these it la admitted more than 45,000 nave teen killed in battle or disease, and It Is probable that the number is nearly doable that Nearly half as ssany mere have been sent back to Spain extefled by wounds or broken by disease, to be burdens «pon the eommvnlties u wmch they Mve. . yoi had been compelled to go out and steal, battered a q l hanged at night U you came in without any spoils; and supppae your early manhood and. womanhood ha4 been covered with rag,i aid flth, and. deocnt society had turned its bach upon you and left you to consort with vagabonds and wharfrata— how much better would you have been? I have no sympathy with that executive clemency which, would let crime run loose, or which would sit In t^e gaUery pf a court-room weeping because some hard-hearted wretch la brought to justice; but I do say that the safety and life Of the community demand more potential influences .In behalf of these offenders. I stepped Into one of the prisons of one of our great oitles, and the air was like that of the Black Hole of Calcutta, As the air swept through the wicket It almost knocked me down. No Bunlight. Young men who had committed their first crime crowded in among old offenders. I saw there one woman, with a child almost blind, who had been arrested for the crime of poverty, who was waiting until the slow law could take her to the almshouse, where she rightfully belonged; but she was thrust in there with her child, amid the most abandoned wretches of the town. Many of the offenders in that prison sleeping on the floor, with nothing but a vermincovered blanket over them. Those people, crowded, and wan, and wasted, and half-suffocated, and infuriated. I &aid to the men, "How do you stand it here?" "God knows," said one man; "we have to stand it." Oh, they will pay you when they get out! Where they burned down one house, they will burn three. They will strike tioo^er the assassin's knife. They are this minute plotting worse burglaries. Many of the jails a.n the best places I know of to manufacture footpads, vagabonds and cut-throats. Yale College is not so well calculated to make scholars, "nor Harvard so'weTT^cal lated to make scientists, nor Princeton so well calculated to make theolo-0 glnns, as the American jail is calculated to make criminals. "All that these men do not know of crime after they have* been In that style of dungeon for some time, satanic machination cannot teach them. Every hour these jails stand, they challenge the Lord Almighty to smite the cities. I call upon the.people to rise in their wrath and demand a reformation. I call upon the judges of our courts to expose the infamy. I demand, in behalf of those in carcerated prisoners, fresh air and clear sunlight, and, In the name of him who had not where to lay his head, a couch to rest on at night. In the insufferable stench and sickening surroundings of some of the prisons, there is nothing but disease for the body, The Chicago Record has prepared a postal saving* hank bin, which will nndonhtedly belatmdMced in congress text month.

Rum is responsible foi much of the assault and battery, Inspiring men to sudden bravery, which they must demonstrate, though it be on the face of the next gentleman. They are harder in heart and more infuriate when they come out of jail than when they went in. Many Of the people who go to prison go again and again and again. Some years ago, of fifteen hundred prisoners who, during the year had been In Sing Sing, four hundred had been there before. In a house of correction in the country, where during a certain reach of time there had been five thousand people, more than three thousand had bft*iP there before. So, in one case the prison, and in the other ease the house of correction, left them just as bad as they were before. TJ^s secretary of one of the benevolent societies of New York saw a lad ftfteeu yean of age Who bad spent three years of his lite i s prison, and lie said to the lad, "What have they done for yon to make yon betterr "Well." replied the lad, "the first time I was brought up before the judge he said. 'Yon ought to be aabametf of -yowrssK.' And then I committed a crime again, and I was brought «p before the same judge, and he said, 'You rascal!' And after a while I committed some other crime, and I was brought before the same judge, and he said, 'You ought to be hanged.'" That is all they had done dor him in the way of reformation and salvation. "Oh," you say, "these pec* pie are incorrigible.' I suppose there are hundreds of persons this day lying in the prison bunks who would leap if society would only allow them) a way {into decency and respectatottfey, **?h * you say, "I have no patience with these rogues."

We want men like John Howard and Sir William Blackstone, and women like Elizabeth Fry, to do for tli' prisons of the United States what those people did in other days for the prisons of England. I thank God for what Isaac T. Hopper and Doctor Wines and Mr. Harris and scores of others have done in the way of prison reform; but we want something more radical before upon our cities will come the blessing of him who said: "I was in prison and ye came unto me." ~ nerai thieves, the people who go and sit down and mourn with families and pick their pooketa, And there you find the "confidence men," who borrow money of you because they have a dead child in the hois*, and want to 10 t l V K B X C ^ T 1« A tfTORM. cold days; some bread thrust into the ash barrel that might have appeased their hunger for a little while; some wasted candle or gas jet that might have kindled up their darkness; some fresco on the ceiling that would have given them a roof; some jewel which, brought to that orphan girl in time, might have kept her from being crowded off the precipices of an unclean life; some New Testament that would have told them of him who "came to seek and to save that which was lost!" Oh, this wave of vagrancy and hunger and nakedness that dashes against our front doorstep, I wonder if you hear it and see it as much as I hear and see it! I have been almost frenzied with the perpetual cry for help from all classes and from all nations, knocking, knocking, ringing,, ringing. If the could be lifted so we could look"down" into them just as God looks, whose nerves would be strong enough to stand it? And yet therethe> are. The sewing women, some of thejn In hunger and cold, working nlgntC after night, until sometimes the blood spurts from nostril and lip. How well their grief was voiced by that despairing woman who stood by her invalid husband and invalid child, and said to the city missionary, "I am downhearted. Everything's against us; and then there are other things." ""What other things?" said the city mission- In this class of uprooting and Tt vouring population and untrustwonh officials, "Woe unto thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes drink in the morning!' It 1B a great calamity to a city when bad men get into public authority. Why was it that in New York there was such unparalleled crime between 1866 and 1871? It was because the judges of police in that city, for the most part, were as corrupt as the vagabonds that came before them for trial. These were the days of high carnival for election frauds, assassination and forgery. We had the "Whisky Ring," and the "Tammany Ring," and the "Brie Ring." Thero was one man during those years that got one hundred and twenty-eight thousand dollars in one year for serving the public In a few years it was estimated that there were fifty millions of public treasure squandered. In those times the criminal had only to wink at the judge, or his lawyer would wink for him, and the question was decided for the defendant. Of the eleht thousand people arrested In that city in one year, only three thousand were punished. These little matters were "Used up," while the interests of society were "fixed down." Yon know as well as I that a criminal who escapes only opens the door of other criminalities. It is no compliment to public authority when we have in all the cities of the country, walking abroad, men and women notorious for criminality, unwhlpped of justice. They are pointed out to you in the street by day. There you find what are called the "fences," the men who stand between the thief and the honest man, sheltering the thief, and at great price,. handing over the goods to the owner to whom they belong. There yon wfu find those wao are called the "skinners,*' the men who hover around trail street an^TOnte street, and Third otreet with grea't height of hand m bonds and storkM Ther** 'on fu»3 the i t ry. "Oh," she replied, "my sin." What do you mean by that?" "Well," ihe said, "I never hear or see anything good. It'sySfbrk from Monday morning to Saturday night, and then when Sunday comes I can't go out, and I walk the floor, and it makes me tremble to think that I have got to meet God. Oh, sir, it's so hard for us. We have to work so, and then we have so much trouble, and then we are getting along so poorly, and see this wee little thing growing weaker and weaker; and then to think we are getting no nearer to God, hot floating away from him—oh, sir, I do wish I was ready to dier • * • I want you to appreciate how very kindly God has dealt with you in your comfortable homes, at your well-filled tables, and at the warm registers, and to have you look at the round faces of your children, and then, at the review of God's goodness to you, go to your room, and lock the door, and kneel down and say, "O Lord, I have been an ingrate; make me thy child, O Lord, there are so many hungry and unclad and unsheltered today, I thank Thee that all my life thou has taken such good care of me. O Lord, there are so many sick and crippled children today, I thank Thee mine ace weU. some of them on earth, some of them, in heaven. Thy goodness, O Lord, breaks me down. Take me onoe and forever.

There are the "harbor thieves," the "shoplifters," the "pickpockets," famous all over the cities. Hundreds of them with their faces in the "Rogues gallery," yet doing nothing for the last five or ten years but defraud society and escape justice. When these people go unar* rested and unpunished, it la putting a high premium upon vice, and saying to the young criminals of this country, "What a safe thing it Is to be a great criminal." Let the law swoop upon them! Let it be known in this country that crime will-have no quarter, that the detectives are after it, that the police club is being brandished, that the iron door of the prison Is being opened, that the judge is ready to call the case! Too great leniency to criminals is too great severity to society. •• • • In these American cities, whose cry of want I Interpret, there are hundreds and thousands of honest poor who are dependent upon individual, city and state charltieB. If all their voices could come up at once, it would be a groan that would shake the foundations of the city, and bring all earth and heaven to the rescue. But for the most part it suffers unexpressed. It Bits In silence, gnashing its teeth and sucking the blood of its own arteries, waiting for theNjudgment day.

The captain and crew were lowering the lifeboat when the seamer gave a lurch and went down on her side, stem first, taking the lifeboat with her. Two of the crew, Lewis La Force, second mate and Wm.

There the 'clung until eight hours later, when they were discovered by the outlook ot» the steamer Mariposa of the Minnesota line. The effort of thostt on board t'n e'Mariposa to rescue the two men involved the greatest possible dauber. The sea Was running very higrh and lifeboats could not be launched. Lines \vi>re thrown to the two men, but their arms and legs had stiffened around the spar and they could do nothing to help themselves. The Mariposa ran as close to the spar as possible and efforts were tableon 1 m a ^ e *° grasp the men while passing. This was repeated several times' and with success at last. The Idsho was an old boat, having been built in 1863. She went out of commission several years ago, but was overhauled this year and put to work again. She was 220 feet long and had a gross tonnage of 1,130. The captain of the ill-fated steamer, Alexander Gillies, was one of the most widely known of lake seamen. He was 41 years old and knew the lake waters like a book. Tnr*« Ken mud Home* Blown to Atows. At Pine Fork, Wetzel county, W. Va., William Conn, of Cuba, N.

Why the Kidneys so oftee FatL Nature has provided a certain amount of work for every organ of the human body; overtax them and disease eventually follow*. There la not one portion of our organism that la so overworked as the kidneys; on them is placed the important function of filtering the blood of the impurities which naturally form in the regular action of life and digestion. Tbe kidneys are consequently termed the sewerage of the system; clog up this sewer, -and tbe blood becomes tainted with4>oisonous uric acid, which brings on disease in many forms. Tbe back is the first to show this stoppage. From there cornea the warning note; it should be heeded, and the kidneys receive prompt attention. Doan's Kidney Pills win right the action of the kidneys quickly, relieve the hack of Giins and aches, and cure all troubles of dncys and bladder. Bead the following: Mr. Wm.

On the following Sunday he waa to preach in the forenoon and In the afUrnoon at a •mall place about eight miles out in the country, "It'll be a rather long walk for a hot uay," he said to me after n>3iug "the lay of the land." "I don't suppose I'd be very likely to catch a ride, would I? I don't feel able to hire a rig from the livery—I'm one of the poor ministers, you know," he added. He bad but one eye, and when he wanted to make a remark Impressive, or amid something he had an Idea waa humorous, whose effect he wanted to observe, he had a trick of dropping his head in what might be called in insinuating fashion, and bring his one optic to bear on you from such an angle and. in such a manner that it made you feel as if X-rays were concentrated on you, and that your inmost thoughts were being laid bare before the Intensity of his gaze, which always suggested to me the application of an optical corkscrew. Just then he happened to catch sight of my wheel. "Got a bicycle, eh? Now, what's to hinder my going over to the other charge on that? I don't suppose you'd object to lending it?" Thereupon he "drew bead" on me with that penetrating optic of his. "You're welcome to the use of It," I said. I did not think of asking him if he was used to riding. I supposed he must be or he would not think of starting off on an eight-mile trip as a beginning. But on Saturday morning I saw him looking the wheel over in a manner that made me think he had -never—had much—to- do with one. Therefore, after dinner, as we sat on the veranda, I asked him if he had ridden much. "Never was on one in my life," he answered. "Then I'd suggest that you practice a little before attempting to make your trip," I said. "You've got to get somewhat used to a wheel before you can manage it." ''it looks easy enough," he said. "I've watched folks ride a good deal, and all they have to do is to keep from tipping over and keep their feet going, so far aa I could see. I should think anybody could do that/' "Better try it," I said. "Well, I will if you think it is necessary," he said. He got up, took the wheel and started for the yard. He propelled it by the handle bars, and tbe first thing he knew the pedals came around and took him in the shins ijtriie forcibly.

He seised the handle bars, got behind the wheel, nut hja left foot on the footreat, gave the thing a push, and hopped after it a rod or two before he got into motion. Then he gave a leap, expecting to land in the aaddle, but "o'ervaulting ambition had outleaped Itself' again, and he went over the saddle and pitched earthward somewhere in the vicinity of the front wheel. He got up after extricating his legs from the machine, with which they seemed considerably mixed up, and leveled ha optic at me to aee what effect hia first attempt had on me. Bet I waa sober as a judge, and he at onoe set about a second attempt This time he succeeded in getting into the aaddle, but the wheel had no motion. He kicked wildly about for an Instant, while that awful wobble which presages coming disaster waa going on, In a vain endeavor to get hia feet on the pedals, and then—over went wheel and man with a crash that sent hm stiff hat lying aeroaa the yard, and made things Jingle generally.

But he was not yet ready to acknowledge defeat. He tried that wheel from all quarters. He straddled tbe seat and tried to get under headway by walking tiptoe and getting up motion in that way preparatory to getting control of the pedals.

He seemed to feel that he had conquered at last, for tie gave a little whoop of exultation, but just at that instant the front wheel began "to kink and wobble in that utterly depraved way peculiar to front wheels at times, and the more he tried to steady it the more uncontrollable it got. It seemed to have the St. Vitas dance. All this time his right foot was clinging to the pedal with deadly desperation, while his left one was flying wildly around in space to find the pedal on that side of the machine, while 4ie was going ahead with sudden and unexpected shifts to all points of the1 compass. Then, all at ones, the entire machine seemed to tie Itself up In a knot for a moment, then it bucked like a mule for all the world, and the poor man was pitched head first into a great clump of buH thistles. They scratched him terribly, hot he ought to have been thankful that they were there, for they broke the f*-ece of his fail. He lay there so long that I began to be alarmed, and went to his assistance. But before I reached him he struggled to his feet, corkscrewed me with a glare of awful intensity, but said not a word. He seised the innocent- looking wheel and dragged It to the veranda in a series of vindictive jerks, and deposited it there in alienee. Then he glanced at me again, hut net a word escaped hia lips.

Success at last had come our way, and he suddenly announced that he was going home for his Thanksgiving dinner. He was a 'inlet, queer fellow, any way you put st; lately, however, he had seemed wonderfully alert The arrival of the weekly mail found him in a state of great expectation, sad after he had read his letters he would sit quietly all evening looking very happy and smiling as he read them over again. He always was a non-committal ehat), but this time there was no mistaking the signs, s o I suspected his homesickness, and judged his case, as one is apt to do, by the light of my own. No wonder, poor fellow, that he wanted to wipe out the 1,500 miles which alone stood between him and that Thanksgiving turkey! For my own part, I can swear that no power as yet known to man could keep me back from Jim Mckenzie's Thanksgiving dinner, for Mary was to be there—Mary whom all these years I had remembered and loved sjj welL I had never forgotten her beautiful deep, dark eyes, which seemc l to search one's soul with that penetrating look one sees sometimes in a baby's eyes. There was but little but here In the mountains to relieve the tedium of our long evenings, s o Jim MeKenxle's weekly visits were always heralded with Joy- We made merry over his earning, and our carefully prepared dinner we _ regarded as a feast We talked it over in the morning, and when evening came •we began to plan for next week's coming. No wonder MeKenzie was always welcome. His mind was stored with t h e thrilling adventurer, of early days 1 * tfee mountains.

J.y l.-u confidently and proudly attributed his entire success and all that was good la him. Then, too, he always brought us news of bis daughter Mary, At first her letters were only outpourings ot h e r homesick, loving heart; she was bom to live in the mountains, and declared she must have the freedom of the mountain bird. After, a while her letters breathed a, more contented spirit. In an Incredibly short time the mountain bird bad teased tq flutter against the bars ot her cage. Her quick and receptive mind soon yielded to the guidance of those about her, and with the full force of an ardent nature she pursued the work of her education. , , Thus from -week to week we listened with delight to the welcome budget Jim would bring. Sometimes Mary's letters were only ot her life at school, her books, her new friends—aud my heart would sink—for then she seemed so far, so. very far away! Again, she would write of herself, of the love she bore her father and her home, with an occasional—a very occasional—message for Harry, at which, of course, my heart would beat with Joy, and I would cough or light my pipe, do anything to hide the tell-tale light I knew was '.n my eyes. During the last year she had written most of ue? home-earning; and lately her letters had taken a tone ot great seriousness, with many allusions to her "duty as a woman." In her latest letter she begged that her father would take her more serious* ly; she "could not be a butterfly," and she spoke of "woman's sphere being broad and far-reaching." MeKenzie only laughed and said, "Poor child! she is sighing for the mountain air." He wrote her of the beautiful Ally he had trained and made ready for her use, and she would soon see for herself bow very long and broad her woman's sphere could be. At last a letter came telling that she was surely coming home, and telliug ow anxious Bhe was to be-wtth-h4m-ea- Thanksgiving Day. She complained ever so gently that she feared he had not taken her exactly as Bhe wished— that she was no longer a child, and that her mind was quite occupied with the problem of "Woman's Mission." In fact* she had lately been made president of the Woman's Emancipation Circle, which organization had originated in her school with, every promise of becoming a power for great good among women. "I subjoin," the added, "the principal maxims for which we pledge ourselves to labor without ceasing: "We claim equal rights before the law. "We ask equal pay for equal work. "We ask that men cease to impose upon us by their empty flattery* and "That we be recognized as reasonable human beings with eyes to see for ourselves; hands to work as we wllL" This time even MeKenzie could not fall to catch her meaning; he looked puzzled and troubled, and finally said: "In the morning she will be half way home and I shall go to meet her. I think," he added slowly, "I think Mary needs her father. Yes, I'm sure—dead sure—ebe needs her father/' Meanwhile I had registered a solemn vow that every claim and every assertion of this New Woman should be disproved and contradicted by Mary In her own sweet self. When I closed my eyes that night it was to dream of Thanksgiving Day and Mary and I really believe that in my sleep I heard the sweet sound of wedding bells. * * * * * * For some time the next day MeKenzie was shyly making his daughter's common »«nae. So It was some tome before she spoke again; and then it was to ask why It was that women did not have equal rights with men before the law. He answered that women surety do have equal rights before Che' law. "You see," my dear, he went oa, "their rights are really identical, their Interests the same; and it Is a man's first notion ot duty to see that these rights are repeeoted. I would like to &ee any parson interfere with your r t h i s or bear of any law that would be unjust to you. By George! I would soon show that your rights were my rights, and that the law exists solely t o r the benefit of^mankind, which you know, my dear, includes woman kind, even the 'New Woman/ too." Poor Mary was confounded. After all, were men and women really equal before the law? It that were so, what became of the enormous injustices and -igait'c nboses .hat women had silently and patiently boras all these years? It all seemed so confusing, so difficult, so Very pussling; she could not ddubt that her father was right—he always was on practical questions. She looked out of the oar window, and was silent. Her eyes were full of tears. It was hard to believe that the Woman's Emancipation Circle was, after all, to have no existence in the world, and that all ot her fine arguments, broad views on the woman subject ^entamrely disappearing—melting away before her father's clear and convincing assertions. She recognized at once that she had met defeat., and with all the bravery she could command, the conversation dinner, and MelCenaie was waiting'for' us on the porch.

In a short time they would be home and en- Joy Thanksgiving day together. • * * * Was it in truth necessary for me to see MeKenzie at once about that broken fence, or was it only the crisp mountain air that tempted me from the house hours before I was expected to arrive at Jim McKenzle's? One thing was certain, 1 couia not"watt aJOTther^tornare?** moment, and in half an hour I was women," I said. This time she would give me no answer, but in her eyes I read that I had scored my second point. Id a tew moments dinner was ready, and a happier trio never sat down to a Thanksgiving feast. Mary had for the moment forgotten her misadventures, and a more charming hostess could not be imagined. In the quiet Joy of Mury's return Me- Kenzie looked blissful and contented. I confess to having felt a little nervous. So far the day had gone well with me, but I wanted to score my third and last point. I anxiously awaited my opportunity, which presently came in the shape of the great. American turkey. The turkey was brought in Just as* I was telling in a triumphant tone of Mary's proud refusal of my good offices in adjusting her saddle, and how she did not hesitate to demand my obedl- PTKP yhen ehe really needed my serv- Ices. Jhn ordered the turkey placed before Mary, and explained that her mother had always carved; no one knew-so well as she how to select the choicest bits and give to each one Just the dainty morsel most coveted, and. now Mary must learn to do the same. She took the large knife in her hand and gazed at it, looking very dubious; then she stuck the fork well Into the turkey's breast and made another attempt to use the knife. She looked at her father a moment, but his attention was altogether bent upon selecting a choice bit of celery. Then she gave me a hurried, appealing glance!- I moved my chair a little, but said nothing. At length she turned to me again and put her hand on my arm and gently said: "I say, Harry, I believe men are stronger and bigger and braver than women.

As I rode up I saw her standing on the porch. She came quickly forward to meet me. I blushed like a schoolboy when I took her hand and looked into her eyes. Yes, there was still the deep, searching, truly baby look. I felt relieved at once and thought, "It won't be so very hard, after all; she could not look like that and, be really a New Woman." In a few moments I had forgotten about the broken fence, and we went together to see the beautiful brown filly. I_ suggested that there was time enough to try her before dinner, and M£> y acquiesced at once. She had a fancy to saddle the horse herself. I never thought ot interfering until she came to tighten the girth; then I simply said: "You would better let me do that for you." "Never mind," she answered; "why can't a woman use her handstand help herself?" Of course I was disconcerted, and saw at once that I was treading on dangerous ground, but \ only laughed and said: "She can. She certainly has right, but why not allow a fellow privilege?" Then, in a defiant tone, she piled: "We don't want privileges or aid only want what is just." "At your hands," I answered, **I don't ask for justice, at all; but I do yearn for privileges." She tossed her head in reply, and stood ready~toTnount. In a tew moments we were off scouring the country, riding up the mountains and walking our horses slowly down again. Near the base of the timber line Mary's horse suddenly shied, her saddle turned, but In her terror she called to sae. In an instant I was by her side and lust saved her from filling to the gronad. Of course I had to straighten the saddle; and I simply asserted: "You see, I am stronger_thaji yojL_ and I yielded my right too easily.

The uurse, having lifted little Leon iato the bed, returned to her chair'betide the lire, while Marjorle put her arm around the little fellow's shoulders and presently ffcll asleep. Now" that the fever had actually passed away, Marjorie's convalescence was.rapid, , . \' She still kept to her bed, befng too weak oxen to move without assistance, and during the day little Leon was conr stantly with her. She asked a few questions, and the more she heard the more her curiosity was aroused. One day she inquired t o r the srave lady whose face she dimly remembered to have seen, and who she now heard was the mistress of the house. In the afternoon the lady came to the bedside. Marjorle was sitting up in bed that day, propped up by pillows, Rooking the very ghost of what she had once been; while on the bed beside her Was little Leon, surrounded by his toys. He looked up, laughed, and clapped his hands when Miss Dove came in, but she only smiled and gently rebuked him for his boisterousness. Then she sat down beside, th bed and took Marjorie's hand. "Well, my child," she said, "so you are rapidly getting well." For a moment Marjorie was s i l e n t - she could not speak. The tears were blinding her eyes and choking her |^h1ta,^you voice, but she bent her head and kissed the hand that had saved her. "Come, come," said Miss Dove, "you must not give way like this. Tou have to tell me all about yourself, for at present I know absolutely nothing." With- an effort, Marjorle conquered her emotion and dried her tears. But what had she to tell?—nothing, tt seemed, except that she Was friendless and alone. "Nay," said the lady, gently. ' T o u are not that; from the moment you entered this door you had friends. But tell-me, m y child, how was It I found you and your child starving upon my threshold? Tou have a husband, perhaps? Is he alive or dead?" . _JMnr1nriift shook hfir hfmd made when she spoke of them one night to Miss.Dove. The lady listened quietly, then she said: "You would rather remain in Paris, Marjorle, than go home?" "Madame, I have no home.." "Tou have Annandaie Castle." She shook her head. "Indeed, it is not my home now! I wrote, and there was no answer." -"But suppose you heard that that was all a mistake; suppose you learned that your dear mother was ready to open her arms to receive you, what would you say then, my child?" Marjorle did not reply. If the truth must be told, her troubled heart found little comfort in the thought of a meeting with Miss Hetherlngton. At last, after long reflection, she spoke: "I know my mother—she i s my mother—is very good; but It has all been a fatality since I was born, and I can hardly realize yet that we are so close akin. Ah! if I had but known, madame! If she had but told me at the first, I should never have left Scotland, or known so much sorrow!" Miss Dove elghed in sympathetic acquiescence. "It Is a' sad story," she replied. "Tour mother, proud lady as she is, has been a great sinner; bat she has been terribly punished. Surely, my do nnoott bDeeaarr any anger against her in your heart?" * "None, madame; but she is so strange and proud. I am almost afraid of her still." "And you have other loving friends," continued the lady, smiling kindly, "Do you remember Mr. Sutherland?" "Johnnie Sutherland?" cried Marjorie, joyfully. ^"Who told you of h i m f ' "Himself. He Is back here in Paris." Marjorle uttered a cry of delight. **Tou have seen him? Tou have spoken to him? He knows " ""He knows everything, my child; and he is waiting below till I give him the signal to come up. Can you bear to see him?" There was no need to ask that question.— Marjorie's flushed—cheek—aad- "He is here, in Paris, madame." "And his name is Caussidiere, Is it not? So Leon hag told me.", ^*TB*r "madameT Monsieur Caussidiere." "We must seek him out," continued Miss Dove. "Such conduct is not to be endured. A man has no right to bring his wife to a foreign country and then desert her." "Ah, no,** cried Marjorle; "you must not do that. I will leave the house whenever you wish, madame, but do not tores me to see him again." Miss Dove looked at her for a moment in silence; then she rang for the nurse, lifted Leon from the bed, and sent him away. «*Now, my child," she said, when the two women were alone, "tell me your story." And Marjorie told it, or as much of it as she could recall. She told of her early life in the quaint old manse in Annaadala with Mr. Lorraine Solomon and Wysie; of Miss Hetherlngton, and of the Frenchman who came with his spacious tongue and wooed her away. Then stte told of Tier MTe in Paris, of her gradual, estrangement from all her friends, and finally of her desertion by the man whom until then she had believed to be her husband. "So," said the lady, when she had finished, "you were married by the English law, and the man is in reality not your husband. Well, the only thing We can do is to leave him alone altogether, and apply to your friends." Marjorie shook her head. "That is useless, madame," she said. "When my little boy had naught but starvation before him I wrote to my soother .1A Annandaie, but she did not answer' me." • Is that s o r "Tea, madame, it is true." "It is very stra*«,M she gaid, "but w e must see what can be done, Marjorie— may I call you Marjorle? In the meantime you -most not think of ail these sad things.

But who was this that Marjorie saw approaching, through the mist of her owp joyful tears? A stooping figure, leaning upon a staff, turning toward her a haggard face, and stretching out a trembling palsied hand. It was Miss Hetherlngton, trembling and weeping, all the harsh lineaments softened with the yearning of a mother's love. ' "My bairn! my bairn!" "Oh, mother! mother!" cried Marjorie; and mother and daughter clung together, reunited in a passionate embrace. soon, in his pretty broken English, learned to ceil her "grandmejuma," "We beg** wY a bar aimiatar," said the lady one day, as they sat together; "hut there's » o blame and n o shame, Marjorie, on you and yours..

"Tou're wife to yon Frenchman," answered Miss Hetherlngton: "ay, his lawful wedded wife by"the English and the Scottish law. Out there in Prance he might rejcot you by the law of man; but here in Scotland, you're his true wife still, though I wish, with all my heart, you were his widow instead." "Is that so, mother?" "True as gospel, Marjorie. It's wi' me the shame lies, like the bright speck of blood on the hands of the thane's wife, which even the perfumes of Araby .couldna cleanse awa'!" "Don't talk of that, mother!" cried Marjorle, embracing th* old lady. "I am sure you are not tt blame." "And you can forgive me, my bonny bairn?" ' "T have nothing to forgive; you were deceived as—as I have b e t . . Oh, mother, men are wicked!—I think they have evil hearts." The old lady looked long and fojdly in her daughter's face; then she said, with a loving smile: "I ken one man that has the hsart of a king—ay, of an angel, Marjorie." "Who, mother?" "Who but Johnnie Sutherland? my blessings on the lad! But for him, I should have lost my bairn forever, and it, was for his sake, Marjorie, that I wished ye were a widow indeed!" Marjorie flushed a deep crimson and turned her head away.

HEY took her home with her little boy to Annandaie, and there in the old C a s t l e Marjorie soon recovered her health a n d h e r s t r e n g t h . I t was winter still; the landscape was white with snow, t h e trees h u n g heavily under the icy load, and a blue mask of ice covered the flowing Annan from bank to bank; but to Marr Jorie all was gladsome and familiar as she moved about from scene to scene. She wore black, like a widow, and so did little Leon; and, indeed, it was a common report everywhere that her husband was dead, and that sife was left alone. A s to Miss Hetheriugton's secret, all the world knew it now, for the swift tongue of scandal had been busy before Marjorie's return. Heedless of the; shame, heedless of all things in the world, save her joy in the nnssiisshini of her daughter, the grand old lady remained in deep seclusion ia her lonely ancestral home. In these sad, yet happy days, who could be gentler than Miss Hetherlngton? The mask of her pride fell off forever, and snowed a mother's loving face, sweetened with humility and heavenly pity. She. was worn and feeble, and looked very old; but whenever Marjorie was near s h e was happiness itself. Toe fullest measure of her love* however, was reserved tor Marjerie* ohila. Little L i p s had n o fear of aer, a i d she knew that the tie which bound her to Cau8sldlere could only be broken by death. * • * • • • Thus ti-ne passed on, until the dreary desolate winter of that terrible year, so memorable to France and Frenchmen, set in with all its vigor. There was little Joy for Sutherland. Indeed, his trials were becoming almost more than he could bear, and he was wondering whether or not, after all, he should leave hiB home and Marjorie, when there came a piece of news which fairly stunned him. It came In the shape of a letter and a paper from his Parisian artist friend. The letter, after a few preparatory words, ran as follows: —"You may be shocked, but I hardly think you will be sorry to hear of the death of your littte friend's husbkad, Leon Caussidiere. He disappeared In a most mysterious manner, and is supposed to have been privately put to death. What he was, Heaven knows! but he mixed a good deal in politics, and judging from what you told me about him, I shouldn't be at all earprised to hear that he W«LS a spy. Will, at any rate, whatever he was he is gone —peace be to his soul, and I fancy the world will get on a good deal better without him than with him. At any rate, a certain part of It will, I know! With this I send a paper, that you may read the official account of the death of your friend, and know that there is no mistake about i t " Having finished the letter, Sutherland turned to the papei*—glanced down Its columns; came upon a marked paragraph, and read as follows in the French tongue: "Caussidiere, holding an officer's commission under -the Committee of Public Safety, has been convicted of treasonable practices and put to death. He was tried by military tribunal, and executed yesterday." Sutherland put down the paper and held his hands to his head; he was like a man dazed. Was he glad? No, ho would not allow himself to feel glad - t o rejoice in the death of a fellowcreature, even though he was his enemy. And yet, if Caussidiere was dead, Marjorie was free. The very thought seemed to turn his braih. He put both the letter and the paper in his pocket, and went up to his room. He couiu not work, but he sat down among his pictures and tried t o think. What must he do? Go to Marjorle? No, he could not do that—for she would detect the joy in his face and voice, and her sensitive nature would recoil from him, and that he could not bear.

(TO ME OOmitCBD.) ; Washington: The Bering sea meeting, in which representatives of Great Britain, Canada and the United flutes have participated, has come to a close, the seal experts making a unanimous report concerning the condition of the seal herds, and the diplomatic representatives of the respective governments reaching an understanding by which they hope at a later day to effect final adjustment not onlj of the Bering sea question but of other pending border controversies. For the present, however, no final action was taken as to the suspeo6iou of pelagic sealing. The Canaoians urged that other questions be embraced in any plan of settlement, and suggested an international commission to accomplish this end. This proposition was fully discussed, and an agreement reached that the Canadian officials would pub their views in writing after returning to Ottawa and submit them to the authorities here. All parties concerned say that the outlook is favorable to a satisfactory adjustment The unanimous agreement of the experts brings the governments together for the first time on all the facts relating to the Beals. This agreement was reached after painstaking comparison of notes, which show, in brief, that not over one-fourth the number of seals are now to be found in the Bering sea tbat were there a few years ago and that pelagic sealing would scon practically extinguish the species in tnat region. Small Chance for Canadian Reciprocity. It is stated in Washington dispatches that Sir Wilfrid Laurler and Sir Louis Davies, the Canadian diplomats who went to Washington to discuss international questions with U. S. officials, are discouraged over the poor prospects of success in their negotiations for a reciprocity treaty with the United States. They feel certain that if the power to complete a treaty rested with the state department alone they would be able to come to an agreement. The influence which the Canadians fear is the same that drove Sir Richard Cartwright home so quickly when he went to Washington during the consideration of the Dingley bill to see what could be done in the way of securing, reciprocity for Canada. The influence is much the same as that which secu red the insertion in-the Din giey^bill of a special provision to a certain extent annulling the tariff on lumber so far as certain N e w Englanders are concerned. It is also the same influence which, evidently fearing a reciprocity treaty with Canada, placed a few words in the bill making it necessary that any sach treaty must be ratified by the house as well as by the senate. Qveatlaa ta Coma np Kaiiy. It i s expected that an effort will be made daring the first week of congress to secure action of the Morgan resolution extending- belligerent rights to the Cubans, which passed the senate last session and which was held up in the house because of the failure of Speaker Reed to name a committee on foreign affairs. There is- no question as to the ability of the friends of this resolution to pass it through the house provided they can brintr it to a vote, and, in view of the fact that the rules provide a means by which a committee can be forced to report it, it is more than probable that a vote can be peached before the Christmas recess. Dispatches from Havana say: The insurgents are again active thoughout central and eastern Cuba. It is understood that they will shortly make a bold demonstration as proof that they have not accepted autonomy and to induce the U. S. congress to recognize their rights as belligerents^ Throughout the island general dissatisfaction exists among the Spanish troops who oppose the policy of coaxing the insurgents and according them kind treatment which they believe will facilitate the plans of the insurgents. The annexation of Cuba to the United States is gaining in favor among the mercantile and foreign elemeutsin the island. Hawaii Will Sorely b« Aaaexed. Ratification of the Hawaiian annexation treaty by the United States senate is assured. The administration has made a poll of that body and President MeKinley is satisfied that more than two-thirds of the senators will vote for ratification. S U N D A Y SCHOOL* state Aeaaciatlon Met M Tort The Mew OflUeta. An audience of over 1,500 people present a t the formal opening of the> state Sunday school convention in the Auditorium at Port Huron. Mayer Boyntoo delivered the address of welcome. Judge Jamas N. Da via, of Kalamazoo, president of the State aaeomV tion, responded. The report of the executive committee, read by George Parsons, of Watervilet, showed that of 83 counties in Michigan all but. Alger* Baraga and Ontonagon had regularly organized Sunday schools and preparatory work had been carried on in the three counties mentioned. During toe past year 87 full county conventions had been held. Reference was made to the world's Sunday school convention to be held in London, Bng., commencing July 11, 1898. The first world's convention was held in London in 1889 and Michigan had 38 of 400 Americans present The custom of holding Sunday school rallies recently adopted had been very productive of good results on account of ita non-sectarian and patriot!? spirit. Fifteen counties held district rallies during the past year. The financial part of the report showed a deficiency in the treasury of «150. The following officers were elected: President, G. J. Diekema, of Holland; vice-presidents, H. L. Wiltoa, of Detroit; Judge J. H. Grant, of Manistee; Rev. J. W* McDougall, of Otsego; P. Klelufeldt, of East Saginaw; recordingsecretary, H. J. Barrows, of Armada; treasurer, W. L. C. Reid, of Armada. Saginaw was the onlg city that asked for the convention in 1898, and received it unanimously. Billed father and Then Hlmtelf.

The father had ordered the b).y t o prepare the lunch which ia usually served to the customers of the saloon, but Julius refused raying that he was employed as a bartender. T h e latter is known as a hot-tempered youth w h o was always getting into trouble and threatening to shoot somebody. It did not take long for him to work himself into a terrible passion and picking up his revolver he walked to the kitchen where his father was peeling potatoes and fired three shots into his body, killing him almost instantly. Turning toward the bar-room he placed the revolver to bis right temple and fired a bullet into his own brain, and death resulted in a short time. Another son, Herman, was in the basement, but did know anything was wrong until he heard the shots. —When-fehe wife—and motfier arrived at the saloon there was a pitiful scene as she threw herself down upon h e r blood-soaked, dying son, and then on her knees prayed God that her boy would die, as be was a-murderer.

A well-dressed young: woman took rooms at the Arlington house, Ann Arbor, giving her name as Nellie Fawn, of Toledo. The n e x t morning she did not get op, and about noon (he matron entered her room and found the girl nearly dead. Her face was black. An empty laudanum bottle lay on the bed beside her and a chloroform bottle was held tightly to her nose. Dr. Cowley was at once summoned and after hard work the girl was brought to consciousness. She left the hotel at once but left behind some letters which showed that - she came from Allegan upon invitations of a certain student The office refound the g-irl in the student's room and she w a s taken to jail. The student said: "She is in trouble and I let her come to help a friend out. I didn't think she would try to kill herself. I don't want her to die on my hands. I'd rather have you take her t o jail." The younjr lady is Stella Sebring, aged 20, and the student js Howard Stuch, a medic, who had. promised t o help the girl out of trouble for which. his friend; Clarence Fuller, of Allegan,, was responsible. f - > • • • • / } , ^m -.=n ' ' si* cm ' • $ \e.':t •».1 :^1 ^7^.¾ r - • SM i'. /J:.V4I •J , • m ^ ^ w > • * . < • Hi "I I * * * • ^ I H H ' I I W •..lipMrimn—IMIIH MMpt^M^H 1 ,..'A..

He has so far found that he can extract a fine taffy candy sugar at the proportion of one ounce to eight ounces of the melon pulp without the rind. Dr. Carver is going to ascertain the proportion of saccharine matter in the whole watermelon, for he believes, from experiments he has made, that a large quantity can be extracted from tbe rind, as well as from the pulp or heart of the melon.

The'" ProtectiveTtfij association ot Michigan, a mutual insurance company organised in Detroit about two years \ ago, will go In top the hands of a re-(^%wo cent railroad far* queation. oetver, according tpt^he wishes of State Insurance Commisakmer Campbell, who had recently recetvatl numerous comt plaints about the company. He found that tke company has a tvmber of losses, aggregating 96,000, which have not been paid, and there is only 15 la the treasury with which to pay them. There are about 9,800 policies in foroe scattered all over the state, and the trouble began when the association recently sent out notices to tine polioy holders apprising them of an assessment of 50 per cent of the original premium, with which it was proposed to liquidate the losses. A peculiar property ot slang is that a word which fits a distateful person may at the same time characterise a whole obnoxious class. The noun 'taker," for instance, means, according to the Century Dictionary, a thief, or a parson who deals in worthless merchandise, or a hanger-on of the theatrical profession; and under its comprehensive shelter one feels justified In arraying the cheap tricksters who flock, self-invited, to agricultural fairs, i o peddle useless wares, exploit gambling games, or give vulgar "tent shows." It is easy to determine the proper attitude of good cltizesns toward such persona, who menace order, Insult decency, and corrupt the young and thoughtless; and the most cheering news we hear from the fairs of the present season is of an earnest and general effort—to shut—the "fakers" out Svldeaees of Prosperity in Michigan State Labor Commissioner Cox says that evidences of returning prosperity In Michigan are abundant The office is receiving reports which shows that there are far less unemployed men in the cities and villages of Michigan, than there were a year ago. Factory employes have increased nearly 8,000 more than last year being reported from Betroit alone, and the canvass is not yet completed. Prices of all farm products have increased and the conditlon of the farmer is much better. Many farm mortgages have been canceled or partly so, and debts of other kinds wiped out by the farmer. From an estimate made from a partial canvass it is shown that there have been more than a thousand new mercantile and manufacturing institutions started up in Michigan within the past year. » D, I L N , Boat* Approve*.

It Is definitely settled that Attorney-General McKeaaa will be appointed to the supreme court bench ou December 0, the first day of the session of congress. No one has yet been selected to succeed Mr. McKenua, but It is said the appointment will undoubtedly ifo either to the west or middle w e s t It ia not certain that Mr. McKennas n o m i n a t e «"H be confirmed without serious opposition in the senate as it is certain that the whole power of the American Protective *aaoelatioo will be exerted to preveut the confirmation of Mr. McKeuna on account ot his being a member of the Roman Catholic church. I t is also certain that ^before long Secretary Sherman will retire to private life. No date has yet been fixed t o r thi* event and some of his friend* deny that he has any intention of leaving the public service until the close of the administration. The positive statement has been made, however,' by competent authority, that Mr. Shert man does contemplate leaving the state department at an early date. Upon hia retirement Assistant Secretary of State Day will become his successor. Mr. Day could have the oanee of attorney- general if he had desired it, and if there had been any doubt abont Secretary Sherman's ultimate retirement the probabilities are he would aoeept it. The other possible change is in the poetoffice department Poatmsater* General Gary has aapirationa to g o into tbe United States senate from Mary* land although President Mc-Kinley ia opposed to the move.

But if Sutherland was patient and self-contained, it was. far different with the impulsive tody of the Castle. No sooner was she made aware of the true state of affairs than she was anxious that the marriage should take place at once. "I'm an old woman now, Marjorie," she cried, "and the days, of my life are numbered. Before I gang awa' let me see you a. happy bridi—let me be sure yon have a friend and protector while r*m asleep among the moole." She was sitting in her boudoir in her great arm-chair, looking haggard and old indeed. The fire in her black eyes had faded away, giving place to a dreamy and wistful pity; but now and again, aspn_j^__preeent_oceas^ it flashed 0 3 like the gleam upon the blackening brand. Marjorie, who was seated sewing by her mother's side, sadly shook her head. "I cannot think of It yet," ahe replied, "I feel it would be sacrilege." "Sacrilege, say your* returned Miss Hetherington. "The sacrilege was wi' yon Frenchman, when he beguiled you awa', and poisoned your young life, my bairn. Yon owed him no duty living, and you owe him none dead.

"If he wasna ripe, do you think he would be gathered?" exclaimed Miss Hetherington, with something of her old fierceness of manner. "My certie, he was ripe—and rotten; Lord forgive me for miscalling the dead! But, Marjorie, my bairn, you're o'er tenderhearted. Forget the past! Forget everything but the happy future that lies before you! Think you're just a youns lass marrying for the first time, and marrying as good a lad aa ever wore ahoon north o* the Tweed." Marjorie rose from her seat, and walking to the window, looked dreamily down at the Castle garden, still tangled as a maze and overgrown with*3 weeds. As she did so, she heard a child's voice, calling In French : "Maman! Mam&nr It was little Leon, pekying in the ,old garden, attended by a Scottish serving maid, who had been taken on as nurse. He saw Marjorie looking down, and looking up with a face bright a* sunshine, waved his hands to her in del i g h t "How can I think a s yon say,N she said, glancing round at her mother, "when I have my hoy to remind me that I am a widow?

I see you settled down before I "Yon will not leave me, dear mother!" answered Marjorie, returning "to her side and bending over her. «740, aw; yoa are well and strong." him to Solomon's cottage. They found the old man In the garden, looking unusually bright and hale; hot h t o e s i k was still confused; he mingled the present with the past, and continued to speak of Marjorie, and to address her, a* if she were still a child. The sun was setting when they left him, turning their steps toward Annandale Castle. They lingered slowly along "the-foad, talking of Indifferent things, and sweetly happy in each other's society, till it was growing dark. Then Marjorie held out her hand. "Let me go with you to the Castle gate," said Sutherland eagerly. "Not to-night," answered Marjorie. "Pray, let me walk alone, with only little Leon." Very unwillingly he acquiesced, and suffered her to depart. He watched her sadly till her figure disappeared In the darkness, moving toward the' lonely bridge across the Annan. Having wished Sutherland goodnight, Marjorie took the child by the hand and walked back across the meadows toward the Castle. It was a peaceful gloaming; the stars were shining brightly, the air was benny; s o she sauntered along, thinking dreajnily~~b? the past She walked up by the bridge, aad looked down at Annan Water, l o w i n g peacefully onward. As she looked she mused. Her lifehad begun wKh trouble, but surely alt 1 that was over now. Her days ta PaHav seemed to be fading rapidly Into thedimness of the past; there was a broken, link in her chain of experience, that was all. Yea, she would forget it, and remember only the days which ska had1 passed at Annandale. And yet bow could ahe do so? There was the child, little Leon, who looked at her with her father's eyes, and spoke bis childish prattle in tones so like those of the deed man, thai they soasstames nude her shudder. SheBftsdthaboy in her arms. "Leon," she said, "do yon rssasmber Paris, my child—do yon remember your father?" The child looked at her, and half shrunk back in fear. How <**rsjf^ s h e had become! Her cheeks were burning feverishly, her eyes sparkling. "Mamma/' said the boy, half drawing from her, "what is the matter?" "Nothing, darling," she said. She pressed him fondly to her, and? set him again upon the ground. They walked on a few steps farther* when* she paused again, sat down anon the* grasa, and took the boy upon her knee.

I t is surprising when you consider that no changes have ever been made in t h e building since it w a i erected 185 years ago, to see the perfect state of preservation the material is found to be in. There is not the slightest indication of decay iu any part. The lot in which the church stands is a cemetery b u t I found only tombstone bearing a date later than 1830 and some of the inscriptions are rather quaint, one reads: Erected to the memory of Alex. Lattimer who died 1806, aged 42 years; Who afflictions sore, Long time he bore, Physiciaus WAS in vain; Till God was pleased, Death should him Beize, And ease him of his pain. Another is "Fanny McCue-1792. Weep not for me my parents dear, I am not dead but sleeping here; j As I am, you all must be, Prepare yourselves to follow me.

You can get better work even out ol a dumb beast by being kind to him; much more out of a man. aa, this woman's dealings with unpromising material abundantly show. The latest report of Dr. W. T. Harris, United States commissioner of education, covers the year ending June 80, 1896. In the schools and colleges, pub- He sjsi privets, there were then enrolled* lt\N7,9T psjpils—en Increase in one year of «08,576. As only 1.&&1.826 of these were in private institutions, parochial and otherwise, the friends of public ethoole can contemplate the sltuatton with composure, Put the order of the day which may still be pressed upon the committee of the whole people aa "urgent" is a steady improvement of our educational methods. The Quantity looks handsome; the qualify may be judged by the generalcharacters! our population. Proportional «raprosantaMoi) is becoming a rather lire question In this country] The more tie .people investigate the idea the-, store favoraWe it appears. What ean be more just than the proposition that each party be represented to congress or elsewhere ac- 'eording to Us voting strength. The present congress, for Instance, is overwhelmingly Republican. Yet on the popular vote the Democrats polled within half a million as many votes as the Republicans. Therefore to properly represent the wishes of the people congress should be nearly a tie. The Populists, Silver Republicans, Prohibitionist*, Nattonelifte and woman sustraglata would also have representation according to their proportion of the vote cast Big majorities are always dangerous to political parties and therefore doable dangerous to the welfare of the whole people. Every congress that has had a big party majority has made a had record. Every congress that has had a small majority has done well. Proportlpnal representation is bound to become a very live question, and that m the very near future. K^Sft". • W * " an go-verwneata. and. all lands. The kingdom of Ood spoken of in the versal.. ktogdou, and juit a* irtde as that will be the realm sermonlc, "Go thou and preach the kingdoar of God." We hear A great deal In these days about the coming man, and the eoming woman, and the coming time. Some one ought to telt of the coming eormoa. It is 4 simple fact that everybody knows that most of the sermons of today do sot reach the world. The vast majority of the people of our great cities never enter church. ' The sermon of today carries along with it the deadwood of all ages. Hundreds of years ago it was decided what a sermon ought to be, and it is the Attempt of many theological seminaries and doctors of divinity to hew the modern pulpit utterances Into the same old-style proportions. Booksellers will tell you they dispose of a hundred histories, a hundred novels, a hundred poems, to one book of sermons. What is the matter? Some say the age is the worst of all ages. It is better. Some say religion is wearing out, when it Is wearing in. Some say there are so many who despise the Christian religion. I answer, there never was an age when there were so many Christians, or so many friends of Christianity as this age has—our age; as to others a hundred to one. What is the matter, then? It is simply because Oar sermon of today is not suited to the age. It is the canal boat In an age of locomotive and electric telegraph. The sermon will have to be shaken out of the old grooves or tt will not be heard and it will not be read. Before the world is converted, the sermon will have to be converted. You might as well go into a modern Sedan or Gettysburg with bows and arrows Instead of rifles and bombshells and parks of artillery aa to expect to conquer this world for God by the old styles of sermonology. Jonathan Edwards preached the sermons best adapted to the age in which he lived, but If those sermons were preached now thty would divide an audience Into two classes; those sound asleep end those wanting to go home. But there is. a coming sermon—who Will preach it I have no Idea; to what mortal soul and take everlasting poa- •essfeft oT it, Biting U at full of ligh* as' IS* tSe noonday - firmament That sermon of the future will not deal with men in;*he T*ureWh$rf UinstraUons <$, Jesuo tJhrtet.

In . more than one instancg. during the I history of our country between 1860 and 1865, untried greatness developed where to human foresight promotion was only an expedient High qualittoe are net suddenly created.

That coming sermon tony be born in the country meeting house or on the banks of the St. Lawrence, or the Oregon, or the Ohio, or the Tombifbee, or the Alabama, The person who may deliver it may thie moment lie to a cradle under the shadow of the Sierra Nevada*, or in a New England farmhouse, or amid the rice fields of Southern savannas. >Or this moment there may be some young man to some of our theological seminaries, In the junior, or middle, or senior class, shaping that weapon of power. Or there may be coming some new baptisms of the Holy Ghost on the churches, so that borne of u* who now stand to the watch towers of Zfen, waking to the realisation of our present inefficiency, may preach it ouraerves. "That coming sennas* may not be twenty years off. And let us pay God that^lts arrival may be hastened, While r announce to you what tnhink will be the chief char* acteristics of that sermon when It does arrives and I want. tQ make the .remarks appropriate and suggesUv©_to all classes of Christian workers; " First df alj, I remark that the coming sermon wifl be full of a living Christ, to contradistinction to didactic technicalities. A sermon may be full of Christ, though hardly mentthntog his name, and a sermon may be empty of Christ while every sentence is repetitious of his titles. The world wants a living Christ, not a Christ standing at the heed of a formal system of theology, but a Christ, who means pardon some especial paper, and he got it and rushed up in hia anxiety to deliver It, and was crushed under the wheels of the train* and lay on the grass with only strength enough to say, "Oh, what will become of my poor, sick mother now?" Vicarious suffering? The world is full of i t An engineer said to me on a locomotive in Dakota: "We men seem to be coming to better appreciation than we used to. Did you see that account the other day of an engineer, who to save his passengers, stuck to bis place, and when he was found dead In the locomotive, which was found upside down, he was found still smiling, the hand on the air brake?" And as the engineer said it to me, he put his hand on the air brake to illustrate his meaning, and I looked at him and thought, "You would be just as much of a hero in the same crisis." Paul preached until midnight, and Eutychus got sound asleep, and fell out of a window and broke his necK. Some would say, "Good for him." I would rather be sympathetic like Paul,, and resuscitate him. That accident is often quoted now In religious circles as a warning against somnolence In church. It is just as much a warning to ministers against prolixity. Eutychus was wrong in his somnolence, but Paul made a mistake when be kept on until midnight He ought to have Btopped at 11 o'clock and there would have been no accident. If Paul.might have gone on until too great length, let all those of us who are now preaching the gospel remember that there is a limit to religious discourse, or ought to be, and that in our time we have no apostolic power or miracles. Napoleon, in an address of seven minutes, thrilled his army and thrilled Europe. Christ's sermon on the mount —the model sermon—was less than eighteen minutes long at ordinary mode of delivery. It is not electricity scattered all over the sky that strikes, but electricity gathered into a thunderbolt and hurled; and it is not re- Hgtous truths scattered over, spread out over a vast reach of time, but religious truth projected in compact form that flashes light upon the soul and rives its Indifference. When the coming sermon arrives in this land and to the Christian church —the sermon which is to arouse the world and startle the nations and usher in the kingdom—it will be a brief sermon. Hear it, all theological students, all ye just entering upon religious work, all ye men and women who 'n Sabbath schools and other departments are toiling for Christ and the salvation of Immortals. Brevity! Brevity! But I remark also that the coming sermon of which I speak will be a popular sermon. There are those to these times who speak of a popular ser- .mon as though there .must be something wrong about i t As these critics are dull themselves, the world gets the impression that a sermon is good to proportion as it ia stupid. Christ was the most popular preacher the world ever saw, and, considering the small number of the world's population, had the largest audiences ever gathered. He never preached anywhere without making a great sensation. People v rushed out in the wilderness to hear >im; reckless of their physical 'necessities. So great was their anxiety $o hear Christ, that, taking no food with them, they would have fainted and starved had not Christ performed A miracle and fed them. Why did so many people take the troth ait Christ's hands? Because they all understood It. He illustrated his subject by a hen and her chickens, by a bushel measure, by and condolence a»d >Jhandful of salt, by a bird's flight and greatness af his/ own when It was Ifr. Woodrow Wilson, to his admirable critical essay, says of this resnsikahae man: T i e Was not fit to he Pres1e>Bt until he actus*)* became President He was fit *b*n because, teaming a* he went, bofnaoxl .out how He simply brotherhood and life and heave*.

Y6ung lawyers s,tudy with old lawyers, young physicians study with old physicians,, and £ believe it would be a great help 11 every young man studying for the Gospel ministry could put himself in the home and heart and sympathy and under the benediction and perpetual presence of a Christian minister. That sermon of the future will be an everyrday sermon* going right down into every man's life, and it will teach him to vote, how to bargain, how to plough, how to do any work he Is called to, how to wield trowel and pen and pencil and yardstick and plane. And It will teach women how to preside over their households, and how to educate their children, and how to imitate Miriam and Esther and Vashtl, and Eunice, the mother of Timothy; and Mary, the mother of Christ; and those women who on Northern and Southern battlefields were mistaken by the wounded for angels of mercy fresh from the throne of God. Do you exhort In prayer-meeting? Bo short and be spirited. Do you teach in Bible class? Though you have to study every night, be Intoresting. Do you accost people on the subject of religion in their homes or to public places? Study adroitness and use common sense., The moat graceful, the most beautiful thing en earth in the re; ligion of Jesus Christ, and if you awkwardly present It. it is defamation. We must do our work rapidly and we must do it effectively. Soon Our time for work will be gone. A dying Christian took out his watch and gave It to a friend and raid: "Take that watch, I have no more use for It; time is ended for me; eternity begins." O my friends, when our watch has ticked away Tor ue for the last moment, and our clock has struck for us the last hour, may it be found we did our work well, thai we did it in the very best way; and whether we preaehes) the Gospel in pulpits, or tought'Sslbhath dssses, or administered to thf awk as physicians, or bargained as ejj|i^hmnts, or pleaded the tow as *$vt*ttf' °* *•** Du*y ** artisans, or sp4sSsmdmen, or as mechanics, or were like Martha called to give a_meal to a hungry Christ, of Jlfce Hannah to make a coat for a prophet, or like Deborah to rouse the courage of some timid Barak In the Lord's conflict, we did our work in such a way that it will stand the teat of the judgment And in the long procession of the redeemed that march round the throne, may it be found there are many there brought to God through our instrumentality and to whose rescue we are exultant. But, 0 you unsaved! wait not for that coming sermon. It may come after your obsequies. It may come after the stonecutter has chtoeled our name on the slab fifty years before. Do not wait for a great steamer of the Cnnard or White Star line to take you off the w^eck, but hall the first craft with however low a mast and however small a bulk, and however poor a rudder, and however weak a captain. Better a disabled schooner that comes up in time than a full-rigged brig that comes up after you have sunken. Instead of waiting for that coming sermon— H may be twenty, fifty years off —take this plain invitation of a man who, to have given you spiritual eyesight, would be glad to be called the spittle by the hand of Ch: 1st pot on the eyes of a blind man, and who would oonsMer the highest oomptiment of this service, if at the close five hun~ should start from these doom "Whether he he a sinner or no, I know not This one thing I know, whereas I was blind, now I see."

Science has made vast strides during the last half of the century, and in no branch of knowledge u this progress more marked than in that of surgery, says the New York Herald. Many an operation is now performed with facility and safety which was not dreamed of fifty years ago, and many an operation which we now consider trivial and beneath remark was then considered as next to Impossible to perform. The introduction of anaesthetics and the researches of Lord Lister in antiseptic surgery account largely for this state of affairs. Indeed, before the intro- Ha! ha! {duction of antiseptic methods in the operating theater as many lives were lost j from those bugbears of all surgeons, pyemia and septicemia, as resulted from the operations themselves. Tba method, therefore, of securing a wound which matlU prevalent among the Brazilian Indians can be looked upon an at least strictly antiseptic: The materials required for performing the operation are found handy almost anywhere in a Braaillan forests. These are a species of o rery large ant, which has mandibles which can bite through almost any substance. The mouth is furnished with transversely movable jaws and does not possess a sting. A bite from one of these ants is perfectly harmless and is followed by no swelling or other evil results. The lower lip of the ant; instead of being a simple cover to the intrath, Is" developed Into a strange jointed organ, which can be shot out much further than the upper lip, or when at rest can be folded flat over the face and can be rapidly protruded or withdrawn. It is furnished at Its axt tremity with a pair of foroapaj and w able to grasp objects^ vitlk tba strength andjlrmneas "f,i tmtH pair of pincexa. Nothing, unJ^-*ypnd ia metal, can resist those jgjftp'v!Wbat ithe BraaiHan Indian does when he or J one of his patients receives tf'jaah if this: He catches some of these ants, and, holding them to the wound, which he has previously closed together, lots them bite. They fix their mandibles on each side of tha wound, and then he pinches off the rest of the body, leaving the mandibles and jaws to close up the wound. A row of those ants' heads keep a wound closed quite as effectively as the needle and thread of too surgeon, but the pain given to tha victim of this rude style of surgery must be considerable. Rude as this method may aeem, however, it has its advantages in being strictly antiseptic and causing no evil after effects. The jaws of the ant are extracted with a pair of forceps after the wound satisfactorily healed. w A woman will forgive.a maa for Ussfng her a good deal sooner than for acting sorry for it afterward. • % - * • iBijrtQur (alios K ^^^PBBBBBBjr^^^Bj^^B^* ^B^^^BBJB^B/~ ^W^B^^^^ BBBBBBBBB^™ ^BBB^ ,'^f ?t-v crytoff out i Tho ory anonld bolioadad fB.

Hartl Appeals to Ueete The attention of the/'department of state at Washington has been formally called to the friction between Germany and Hayti, as a result of the arrest by the officials of the latter country of a half-blood named Lueders, who claims to be a German citizen, but wbo is said to be the son of a German father and a Hftytian mother and was born in Hayti. The state department has requested U. S. Ambassador White at Berlin, to ascertain exactly the intentions of Germany with respect to the claims of Herr Lueders. Mr. White has also been instructed if any schemes of annexation exist or if there us an intention to make an excessive demonstration with a view of unduly punishing Hayti, to intimate to the German government that the United States could not tolerate either of the courses before mentioned, though in principle having no objection to Germany obtaining- satisfaction within justice.

Saginaw capitalists are firm in their belief that the rich deposits of coal which underlie the Saginaw valley are bound to supplant the lumber industry, just waning, and to rejuvenate trade interests and restore Saginaw to her former state of commercial activity.

Hayti has sent a reply to Germany's demands cf indemnity for the imprisonment of Herr i Lueders, which is somewhat remarkable for its firmness in view of the difference in size between the two powers. Hayti says she is ready tp discuss*the merits of the controversy, bat does not desire to have Germany pass-judgment in_the first piece, demand an indemnity, and thereafter discuss the merits. Moreover, Hayti gives notice to Germany that the German charge d'affaires to Hayti, who made the recent demands, is persona non grata, and that it is impossible for Hayti to conduct further negotiations with him. It is charged that he violated all rules of official etiquette by going directly before the. president, of Hayti and in loud and uufry ^ones and insulting manner threatened direconsequencea unless immediate reparation was made to Germany. This personal affroa^ to Hays's chief executive is regarded touching the %mpr and self respec^of the country, and is felt to call for .an apology.

He entered the place, found a shock-headed servant girl in the passage and asked for the "French gentleman who was staying in the house." "You'll find him ben yonder," said the girl, pointing to a door on the ground! floor. Sutherland beckoned to her to open the door; she did so. He entered the room and closed the door behind him. Cauasldiere leaped to his feet with an oath. Leon, who had been sitting pale and tremulous in a corner, rushed forward with a cry of Joy. But before he could reach Sutherland's side his father clutched him and drew him back, grasping the child so roughly as to make him moan with pain. Then, white and furious, Caussidiere faced Sutherland. "So, it is you!" he exclaimed. "How dare you intrude here? Leave this room." Sutherland, who had placed his back to the door and put the key in his pocket, made no attempt to move. He was able to keep his self-control, but his face was white as death. "Monsieur Caussidiere." he said, "I have eome for that child." "Really," aaid Caussidiere, with a sneer; "then perhaps you will tell me what you propose to offer for him? Madame Caussidiere must pay dearly for having made you her messenger." "She will pay. nothing." "What do yon mean, monsieur?" "What I say. I mean to take that Child and give you nothing for him.

What did It mean? Had the man really, power? and If so, to what -extent? Jk little reflection assured htm that hlamomentary fear was groundless. Sutherland might talk as he chose. Caussidiere was master of the situation, since with him lay all the authority of the law. "Monsieur," he said, "yon are an admirable champion. I congratulate madame cm having secured you. But pray tell herfrom me that her child remains with her husband, not her lover." In a moment Sutherland had caught him by the threat. "Scoundrel!" he cried. "Letme go!" hissed Caussidiere. "If you have taken my wife for your mistress, you shall not bully me!" But he aaid no more. Grasping him more firmly by the throat, Sutherland shook him till he could scarcely breathe^ then lifting him, he dashed him violently to the ground; then, without waiting to see what he had done, he lifted the frightened child in his arms and hurried from (he plaesv CHAPTER XXXVH. Y WHAT train of circumstances had the dead Caussidiere again become Quick, or rather, to express it In correcter tersse, howhad the Frenchman escaped from the perils and pains of death?

Stables so constructed are warm and will last several years. The expense of construction is very small. The government is to issue a new series of postal cards in December, the first print of which will be eagerly sought by collectors.- as they are promised to be of especial artistic merits. It is ininteresting to note that our government prints over half a mil- ' lion cards annually for domestic use in this country. Many will remember the first cards issued, these had straight lines on their addressed facer^~wtichi;h©--pnblic felt so insulted that they refused to purchase and the issue had to be called in. By the way, Austria was the originator of the postal card and that only 27 years ago. If you trespass upon a farmer's laud by hunting thereon without his permission, here is the penalty that may be inflicted upon conviction in a justice court: Howell's statutes says: To hunt for game witV firearms, dogs or otherwise on the enclosed lands or premises of another without the permission of the owner or lessee is a missdemeanor. The penalty, on conviction, is a fine of not less than $5 nor more than 120 in the discretion of the court and costs. And if the fine is not paid, the defendant shall be confined in the county jail not less than five or more than thirty days.

This same number of the Cosmopolitan has an article on 'The Well-dressed Woman" by Elsie de Wolfe, a contrast of the characters of Henry George and Oharles A.

The Grand Trunk Railway System calls your attention to its annual Canadian excursions which will be given on December 16, 17 and 18, 1897 and tiokets to all Canadian points will be sold at a single fare for the round trip. They will be valid to return up to and including January 7,1898, no tickets being sold east of Pontiac oh the D-AM. division and Imlay City on the C. & G. T. division. The Grand Trunk Railway desires to call the attention of intending excursionist* to the long limit given on thiB cheap excursion, giving an opportunity to visit your Canadian friends and relatives during the holidays at cheap rates.

So he posted up a public notice and asked all who owed him to pay quiokly. But few came. ~ The rest said "Mine is only a small matter, and I will go and pay one of these days" forgetting that though each account was very Bmall, when all were put together thov meant a large sum to the man. Things went on thus: the man got to fooling so badly that he fell out of bed and awoke, and running to his granary found his one- thousand eight hundred bushels of grain still there.

He offered to sell wheat .for seeding at $1.50 a bushel, and his order book shows that h e had victims in nearly every state and aa far south ss North Carolina, the average order being for ten bushels.

T h e Low •literature acted like a boomerang, inflicting its greatest injuries upon its projectors. That the opponents of civil service are not without hope of abolishing that system Is evident from the establishment of a fortnightly periodical in Washington for the purpose of fighting "openly and above board t h e obnoxious, un-American farce commonly k n o w n a s civil service reform." The easiest way to dispose of the publication— if It were likely to become formidable— would be to give the editor a civil services position, w h e n he would at once become an enthuaiatic admirer of the system. The monthly statement of the public debt s h o w s that a t the close of business o n Oct. 30, 1897, the debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted to | 1 , - 020,643,901, an increase for the month of $8,441,188. This i n c r e a s e / i s principally accounted for by a decrease In the a m o u n t of cash o n hand. The cash i n the treasury is classified as follows: Gold, $190,387,25«; silver, $509,- 361,943; paper, $113,441,000; bonds, disbursing officers' balances, etc., 118,489,766; total, $831,669,957; against which there are demand liabilities amounting t o $623,913,857; leaving the n e t c a s h balance in the treasury $207,- 756.099. Just a week ago the United States court of appeals at S t Louis held that a boycott by labor against capital Is a criminal conspiracy. N o w an Illinois state court a t Chicago has decided that a "blacklisting" b y capital against labor is equally unlawful and had awarded a ''blacklisted" laborer $21,66648 damages. If the boycott were sound in law, then t h e blacklist would also be sound. B u t these courts, dealing out e v e n justice, h a v e declared t h e truth t h a t blacklist and boycott are equally odious, equally hostile to democratic institutions and ideas. It is fortunate t h a t these t w o decisions came s o closely together. The object lesson they present will not be lost upon either labor or capital. Of late there is a very noticeable demand o n the part of t h e .American people for a h i g h e r s t a a d a s d y literature.

Grain V o t * end i t s Deftreetios, 0 other Insect in Maryland and the South h a s done s o much damage to stored wheat and '_fiorn as has the little insect k n o w n as the .grata moth. It is also k n o w n a s the "white fly," "weevil," " s t a c k fly." etc. In Maryland it is especially Injurious to stored wheat, and very often so Injures the aeed that It la unfit for planting. Corn coming- from the South, especially the flint variety, la apt to be full of these insects. Recently a manufacturer o! hominy in Baltimore told me t h e y had much trouble from this insect in their corn. A n exporter of grain also told me they had to be on the constant lookout for this pest in every cargo of corn or wheat received from the South. Last fall and winter, while attending the various farmers' institutes in the different counties, almost invariably this pest came up for discussion. It was .originally Imported from Europe by the early settlers of Virginia in their supplies of wheat brought trom the old country. Once established on American soil, It has spread far and wide throughout the United States, Texas, perhaps, suffering more than any other state from its ravages. Much unnecessary loss is incurred each season simply from a lack of information concerning Its habits and remedies for its destruction. It is not difficult to detect the presence of this insect in wheat and corn in store. The grain is light and very often peppered full of little round holes about t h e size of a pin's head, the interior of the grain having been eaten out by the young of the moth. Very often the attack is so had that nothing but an empty hull is l e f t The parent Insect responsible for this destruction is a small gray moth, resembling a clothes moth, and measures only about half an inch with its w i n g s spread. It has a satiny luster, and its brad wings are deeply fringed. The eggs are deposited upon the grain both i n the field and In the granary. Usually about a week passes before the egg hatches. The young worm immediately eats its way into the kernel, where it feeds about three weeks before maturity is reached. It then transforms to a pupa, from which t h e adult TBoth emerges a little later. It passes the winter in b a m s , granaries, storehouses, etc., and when established in a n elevator or granary will breed generation after generation. Soon after harvest the moth flies out from the granaries to the fields and deposits her eggs upon wheat still in shock or stack. The larva passes through the thresher in the grain unhurt, and is carried back t o the granary, etc. I t is plain from these facts that If granaries are kept free from this pest the shocks will not become infested in the fields. If a n individual farmer, however, takes t h e trouble to dislnfect'hU granary, his wheat shocks will b*/ infested from moths coming from the store^kousesof his neighbors, provided he dfoes^njit thresh very soon after harvest or before! the eggs hatch and the larvae penetrate the grain. 1 k n o w there is more or less difficulty in getting a thresher at and where the wheat m the fields the farmer his granary soon after stored. This insect has several natural enemies, and I have bred several small-winged parasites from it. No doubt these agents keep It i n check to a limited extent; but w e must look to other sources for more efficient remedies. The most satisfactory remedy n o w known i s from the fumes of bisulphide of carbon. This chemical i s a very Inflammable, volatile, foulsmelling liquid, a s d e a r a s water, with a vapor so much heavier than air it will penetrate every possible crack a n d crevice in a storehouse o r bin. It can be thrown directly upon t h e grain without injuring its vitality or its edible qualities. Many persons hesitate about using t h i s bisulphide of carbon for (ear of fire or injury to t h e grain. I h a v e never heard of a case where a fire w a s caused by the use of t h i s substance, or where grain was injured, where i t w a s used cautiously. -Gun* powder, gasoline, kerosene, etc., are dangerously explosive w h e n carelessly handled; and so a bisulphide of carbon. T h i s latter i s not explosive in t t e s a n e sense a s gunpowder; bnt, like g a s o l i n e e n d kerosene, its fumes m a s t be saecaentetlry mixed with the air before H will cause an explosion. T h e m la n o danger whatever if used property. O n e pound «f bisulphide of carbon t o every o n e hundred bushels of grain is all t h a t is necessary for t h e destruction of insects. It la best to place the material in shallow dishes or p a n s upon the grain, and then close the bin tightl y for at least twenty-four hours. Many persons m a k e a mistake by n o t using: eaostgh of t h e substance, and then s a y )per time, be left in disinfect wheat is it ia of no a c c o u n t It it a n easy h o t - t e r ' t o estimate the number of bushels of grain in a n i enclosure, and then it Is not a difficult tank t o calculate how many pounds of bisulphide should be applied. If JiL is desired to fumigate empty bins, etc.. JipV pound of the chemical should be used Cor every XOOO cubic feet of s i r space. Bisulphide qf carbon is not expensive, and can he bought in twenty-five a n d fifty-pound c a m a t t e n cents per pound, or in less quantities at a little more per pound. While in Dorchester county a tew weeks ago I w a s told t h a t many persons In t h a t section covered the bottoms of their granaries o r bins w i t h Mexican tea or American wormseed (Ohenopodium ambrosioldes) before the grain was stored. T h i s weed is k n o w n in that county a s Jerusalem oak, and has a very peculiar odor, especially w h e n dry. It i s supposed that the m o t h is kept from the grain by the odor that is emitted. Whitening F«*oh Tree*. The old New England practice of whitewashing fruit trees seems likely to come into vogue again. T h e Missouri experiment station in a recent bulletin f a y a: Even though the proportional difference between the temperatures recorded under the different colors is not uniform, it is evident that the darker colors absorb much .more heat than the lighter ones. W h e n the s u n was uot shining the various'thermometers registered alike. A t o n e time, during bright sunshine, a difference of 21 degrees was recorded between the white covered and the purple covered thermometers. A difference of 1U to 15 degrees w a s frequently noted between t h e s e two. This is sufficient to indicate that we might expect considerable difference in the growth and t i m e of flowering of whitened and unwhitened peach trees. The expense of whitening is not g r e a t A common lime w h i t e w a s h w a s at first used, but it washed off badly during rainy weather. Finally a whitewash of lime with one-fifth sklmmllk added to the water, was tried with much more satisfactory results. About one pound of salt was also dissolved in each bucketful of the whitewash. Four applicationa of this wash, applied during the winter and spring, are sufficient to keep the peach tress thoroughly whitened. T h e first whitening should be done oarly In winter, shortly before Christmas. T h e wash may be sprayed on with almost any kind of a spray pump. We found the Bordeaux nossle to be satisfactory, as a solid s t r e a m could readily be turned on if the lime clogged the noxxle. The whitening should be repeated as often as the lime is washed off by rains. A good wash, however, will adhere well for weeks. The trees need two sprayings to begin with, Just as wood needs two coats of paint tn order to cover It well. T w o subsequent sprayings are sufficient. The whilAwaah should be made a s thick a s can be sprayed through a Bordeaux nozzle. W,e used a small bucket spray pump and applied about one-half a bucketful, to a tree, at each spraying. The time required to apply the whitewash will vary from five to ten minutes, according to the kind of pump and to the size of the trees. The more trees t h a t are sprayed, the cheaper It can be done per tree. Altogether, the cost need not exceed ten cents per tree for the winter. A s fungicides are more safely applied to peaches when they sre dormant than when they are in leaf, we tried adding copper sulphate to the whitewash. The copper sulphate was dissolved In the liquid used to thin the lime, at the rate of one pound to ten gallons. T h i s discolored the whitewash somewhat, and another spraying of the wash without copper sulphate w a s given to cover it. W e are not y e t ready to report o n the efficacy of the winter application of fungicides for the diseases of the peach. It should hot be believed that the winter whitening of the peach will be found a reliable prevention of all classes of injuries caused by cold weather; yet, from the results already given, it is clear that it tends to check swelling of the buds on warm d a y s of winter, and to retard blossoming in spring. We have not been able t o detect any injury to the trees by this practice. Wherever peach buds are subject to winter killing by fluctuating temperatures and where their flowers are frequently kiHed by the late spring frosts, we suggest that whitening be tried o n a small scale at l e a s t Potash,—Sandy soils are always deficient i n potash. B v e n if they had this mineral t h e y have usually s o little vegetable matter that t h e potash forms an insoluble compound, by uniting with the sand.

They alw a y s contain s o m e potash and s o m e phosphate, w h i c h t h e water used tor leaching would not dissolve. B u t t h e y also usually contain some ammonia, taken from the air, and which m a k e s its potash a nitrate of potash and a very powerful fertiliser.—Ex.

How his mother ever oajne to hear ot such a name always perplexed as. Of course, having heard of it, we did not wonder at the selection} her race baa always shown a love for highsounding cognomens. Barb's first appearance among us was in this wine: One gray November afternoon, Lois and J were left alone in the house, manuna having gone out on one of the Good 8amaritah errands; the aleet and snow drove .aharplf against the windows, and the wind whistled defiance to the fire that glowed and crackled. Suddenly the door-bell rang a loud, resonant peal, and I went and opened the door. There, on the upper step, stood tho forlornest little figure artist ever painted! A small apparition, as black as blackness can be compared with anything but itself! With a jacket and pants that suggested the "rags and jags" of the nursery rhyme— "With shoes like the mouth of a fish;" with a straw* hat innocent of brim; with snow powdering his woolly hair; sleet on his curly lashes; snow sifting down hip back, and drifting over him and whirling around him. I surveyed him a minute in astonished silence, and he returned my stare with round, shining, unwinking eyes. Then ha inquired, composedly, "Is Mrs. Smith at home?" I began to say that he must have mistaken the house, for uo such person lived here, when Lois; whom curiosity had attracted to the open doorway, remarked that perhaps lie might mean our Nancy, whose last name was Smith, though we had scarcely had occasion to recall that fact in the sixteen years she had been in our service. On^this suggestion I informed the; apjjavHtan. that Mrs. 3ml& wasn't a t ho»«, and! wouldn't fee till late lit the evening; but I would deliver any message, tie ftsplayed a row ^ofastonlaWngly'White teeth in a cheerful" .grin, stepped in, and flrst carefully wiping his apologies for shoes, ahd closing the door, said, decisively: "Oh, if Mrs. Smith lives here, I'm a-goln' to live here, too. She's my grandmother; I'm Barbarossa Napoteon BonaparterSnlfthV P»e"^bme to stay, and I'm not gpin' away again any more at all." •* Lois and I looked at him and then at each, other, and then asked hjm JP.

But let me have no claim to writing Barbaroeaa's history for the two years he was with us; for should I attempt such a' thing. Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" would he a mere sketch. But what mischilf wasn't that bey guilty of? After overhearing us, one day, regretting that our little Scotch terrier's ears should be so prominent, didn't he stick that unfortunate animal's ears close, to his head with shoemaker's wax, and then proudly exhibit him- to us, as an instance of the triumph of art over nature? And didn't tfe bring desolation into Lois' dainty room, la the vain effort to discover a secret panel there? Some street comrade of his, an ardent reader of dime novels, had related to him a thrilling story, in which secret panels figured largely; and thereafter Barb's sole object in life was to discover such a panel in our old-fashioned house. One day he found that, beside the chimney In Lois' room, the paper, upon being tapped, gave forth a hollow sound. Coincidence. So did the paper in the yellow-covered novel. It was thewojj? of a momev.t for Barb, in his eager certainty of hidden treasure, to run his knife around the paper, lift it up, and—oh, me! oh, me! The soot-box that hadn't been opened for twenty years! The soot that In a thick, black cloud settled on the fair, white curtains, clung to the counterpane, made the whole dainty room dingy and soiled and uninhabitable! Barb fled. Before me, on the screen, I see him as he looked that night when we had discovered the disaster, searched for, but failed to find him, and were beginning to fear he had run away, and he emerged from the ash-barrel, where he had lain concealed all the afternoon and stood among «*, surely the most , wretched figure that was ever seen. It was after this, but not long, that we began to be troubled about Barb. Often he was gone all day, returning at night, unable to give a satisfactory account of himself; often we heard of him in company of "boys it were betteP" he should not know. Nattcyi Areats; Lois' gentleness, mamma's patfence, seemed to avail nothing. We had almost made up our minds that Barb must leave us, when, one November afternoon, about two years from the day he had appeared among us, we heard 6t Barb for the last time. Oh, poor Barb'? "poor Barb! Down lr> the crowded streets, he had joined a crowd which 'a sudden alarm of fire had called together; in his excitement he had not heard the cries which warned him of ah engine's being close upon him. There was no time to rein in the galloping horses; no one had been to blame. Oh, poor Barb! "He's at Station B, ma'am," the officer said. "The doctor says it can't be long, for his lungs are hurt bad. He kept moaning for Miss Lois! Miss Lois! and as soon as we could make out where he came from the chief sent me to tell you." We hurried on cloaks and hats and followed the officer Into the chilly November dusk. It was a little whitewashed cell. Barb was lying on. a low pallet, covered with a rough, gray blanket His eyes were closed, and they did not open as we came in. When Nancy saw him lying so, the wan, gray shadow on his set, still face, she rushed forward and threw herself on ' her knees beside him, with a passionate cry: "Oh, Barb! Barb! Te're done goin' to die, and ye haven't got religion, and yell go into the fiery furnace foreber and foreber!" Lois gently drew Nancy away, and knelt in her place, taking both the little, bruised, black hands in hers. "Don't listen to her. Barb," she said. "She doesn't know what she says. Dear, try to hear and understand what I say. Do you remember the Good Man I used to tell you about, Sunday nights? The one, you know, who healed the sick, sad took little children In His arms? Tou are going to Him, Barb; and He will love you, and help you, and teach you bow to live." The gray lips moved faintly, "Will He he good to me, like you are. Miss Lots? Will He let me get my href, without Ms hurtin* m e so orful?" "Dear." she'Said. "He will be better to you than you can ask or think. Barb,. I want you to try and say to Him the little prayer I taught you. Try, dear, try!" Into the silence the weak voice faltered, while Barb held fast the kind hands that seemed aa anchorage for him. who was drifting: so fast away: "Now I lay me down to sleep. k I pray—de—Lord——" No need, oh, Barb!

President MoKlnley's second message to a> congress is in substance as follows: To the senate and house of representatives: It fives me pleasure to extend greeting to the fifty-fifth congress assembled In regular session alt the seat of government, with many of whose senators and representatives I have been associated in the legislative service, Their meeting oc- «V»rs under felicitous conditions, justifying sincere congratulations and calling for our grateful acknowledgment to a benefloent Providence which has so signally blessed and prospered us as a na- 'Won. Peace and good will with all the nations of the earth continue unbroken. A matter of genuine satisfaction is the growing feeling of fraternal regard and unification of all sections of our country, the incompleteness of which has too long delayed realisation of the highest blessings of the union. The spirit of patriotism is universal and is ever increasing In fervor. The public questions which now most engross us are lifted far above either partisanship prejudice or former sectional differences. They affect every part of our common country alike, and permit of no division on ancient lines. Questions of foreign policy, of revenue, (he soundness of the currency, the inviolability of national obligations, the improvement of the public servlee, appeal to the Individual conscience of every earheet citizen, to whatever party he belongs, or in whatever section of the country he may reside. The extra session of congress, which closed during July last, enacted Import* ant legislation, and while Its full effect has not yet been realised, what it has already accomplished assures us of Its timeliness and wisdom. To test its permanent value further time will be required, and the people, satisfied with its operation and result thus far, are „ In no mind to withhold from it a fair trial. C u r r e n c y l e g i s l a t i o n N e e * * * . Tariff legislation having been settled by the extra session of congress the question next pressing for consideration is that of the currency. The werk of putting our finances upon a sound basis, difficult as it may seem, will appear easier when we recall the financial operations oX the government since 1066. On the 20th day of June of that year we had outstanding demand-liabilities in the sum of 1728,-868,447 41. On the first of January, 1*1», these liabilities had been reduced to -tMM&,4ft>tt. Of our interest bearing obligations, the figures are even more striking. On July 1* IMC, the principal of the interest bearing debt of the government was t&3IS,ttl,m. On the first day of July, 1893, the sum had been reduced to yrc.flftyftQ, ^y-nf aggrqgVft reduyrtlgiL of $1,747,294,108. The interest bearing debt of ring drains upon the gold reserve? If no xurther legislation is had. and the.policy of selling bonds is to be continued then congress should give the secretary of the treasury authority to sell bonds at long or short periods, bearing a less rate of Interest than is now authorised by law. I earnestly recommend, as soon as the receipts of the government are quite sufficient to pay all the expenses of the government, that when any of the United States notes are presented for redemption In gold and are redeemed In gold, such notes shall be lfept and set apart, atvl only paid out in exchange for* geld, This is an obvious duty. If the holder of the United States note prefers the gold and gets it from the government, he should not receive back from the government a United States note without paying gold In exchange for tt. The reason for this ia made all the more apparent when the Jovernroent Issues an interest-bearing ebt to provide gold for the redemption of United States notes—a non-interestbearing debt. Surely It should not pay them out again except on demand and for gold. If they are put out in any other way they may return again to be followed by another bond issue to redeem them—another tnteres-'-bi tiring debt t^ redeem a non-interest-hearing debt. In my view It Is of the utmost importance that the government should be re* lieved from the burden of providing ail the gold required for exchanges and export. This responsibility is alone borne by the government without any of the usual and necessary banking powers to help itself. The banks do not feel the ntraln of gold redemption. The whole strain vests upon the government, and the sise of the gold reserve in the treasury has come to be. with or without reason, the signal of danger or of security. This ought to be stopped.

It was urged that, as a neighboring nation, with large Interests in Cuba, we could be requirod to wait only a reasonable tlm« for the mother country to establish its authority and restore peace and order within the borders of the Island; that we oould not contemplate too indefinite u period for the accomplishment of this result.

The government money now outstanding (December. 1) consists of $846,481,016 of United States notes, tl()?,MMst> of treasury notes issued by authority of the law of L890, 1384.96*.- tjM' of silver certificates, and $61,280,761 of standard silver dollars. With the great resources of the government and with the honorable example of the* past before us, we ought not to hesitate to enter upon a currency revision which will make our demand obligations leas onerous to the government, and relieve our financial laws from ambiguity axid doubt. The brief review of what was accomplistied from the close of the war to 18SS, makes unreasonable and groundtoes any distrust either of our financial ability or sound aeon; while the situation from USS to Wft must admonish congress of the Inuaoaiate necessity of so legislating as to make the return of the conditions then prevailing impossible. There are many plans proposed as a remedy for the evil. Before we can find the true remedy we must appreciate the real evil, i t is not that our currency of every kind is not good, for every dollar of >t is good—good because the government's pledge LB out to keep it so. and that pledge will not be broken. However In the country, with sufflcii the expenses of the government, we may feel no Immediate embarrassment from our present currency; but the danger still exists, and will be ever present, menacing us so long as the existing system continues. I concur with the secretary of the treasury In his recommendations that national banks be allowed to issue notes to the face value of the bonds which they have deposited for circulation, and that the tax on circulating notes secured by deposit of such bonds be reduced to one-half of one per cent per annum. I a'so join him in recommending that authority be given for,, the establishment of national banks with a minimum capital of $25/.00. This will enable the smaller villages and agricultural regions of the country to be supplied with currency to meet their .needs. I recommend that the Issue of national bank notes be restricted to the denomination of ten dollars and upward. If the suggestions I have herein made shall have the approval of congress, then I would recommend ttvarfc-Matlonal banks be required to redeem their notes ih^gold. Tbe Cuban <)Wntlon. The most important problem with which thlB government ia now called upon to deal pertaining to its foreign relations concerns its duty toward Spain and the Cuban insurrection. Problems and conditions more or less in common with those now existing have confronted tills government at various timed in the past. The story of Cuba for many years has been one of unrest; growing discontent; an effort toward a larger enjoyment of Hiberty and self-control; of organized resistance to the mother country; of depression after distress and warfare, and of ineffectual settlement to be followed by renewed revolt. For no enduring period since—th_e enfranchisement of the continental posseslIonlP1^©"*—Spain—la- the. has the condition 'of the guaranty of our purpose to keep the pledge will be bast* shown by advancing toward its fulfillment. The evil of the present system is found In the great cost to the government of maintaining the parity of our different forms of money. that is. keeping all of them at par with Eld. We surely can not be longer heedis of the burden this Imposes upon the people, even under fairly prosperous conditions, while the past four years have demonstrated that it Is not only an <xpeoalve charge upon the government, but a dangerous menace to national credit. It la manifest that we must devise some plan to protect the government against bond issues for repeated redemptions. We must either curtail the opportunity for \ •peculation, ansae easy by the multiplied redemptions of our demand obligations, or Increase the gold reserve for their redemption. We have WO.OWMW of currency which the government, by solemn enactment, has undertaken to keep at par with K i d . Nobody Is obliged to redeem In gold t the government. The banks are not required to redeem in gold. The government Is obliged to keep equal with gold all its outstanding currency and coin obligations, while its receipts are not required to be paid in goM. They are paid In every kind of money but gold* and the only means by which the government can with certainty get gold la by borrowing. It can get it in no other way when. It nsoat needs I t The government, witaoat any-Axed gold revenue, is pled—I -to • maintain gold redemption, which It has ateaally and faithfully done, and whioh. under the authority now given, it will continue to d a . ^ The law which requires the government, after haa^nx redeemed its United States notes, to pay them out again as current funds, demands a constant replenishment of the itold « a e r v e . Tnto i s especially^ee I In times of business panic and when the ' revenues are meuBolent to meet tbe expenses of the government. At such times 1 the government baa no other way to sup--1 ply Its deficit and maintain redemption but through the Increase of its bonded western continent Cuba or the policy of Spain toward Cuba not caused concern to the United States. The prospect from time to time that I the weakness of Spain's hold upon the island, and the political vicissitudes and embarrassments of the home government might lead to the transfer of Cuba to a continental power, called forth, between L828 and I860, various emphatic declarations of the policy of the United States to permit no disturbance of Cuba's connection with Spain unless in the direction of independence or acquisition by us through purchase; nor has there been any change of this declared policy since upon the part of the government. The revolution which began in 1863 lasted for ten years, despite the strenuous etforta of the successive peninsula governments to suppress it. Then, as now, the government of the United States testified its grave concern and offered its aid to put an end to bloodshed in Cuba. The overtures made by Gen. Grant were refused, and the war dragged on, entailing grat loss of life and treasure, and increased injury to American interests, beldes throwing ennanced burdens ot neu- --..... „.^„ tv,\a government. In 1878 Indeed precise propo avoid embarrassment to that government All that was u*ked or expected was that some safe way might be speedily provided and permanent peace restored. T h e D O B S ' ">.". e HI* P r o m i s e s . The reply to our note is In the direction of a better understanding. It appreciates the friendly purposes of this government. It admits that our country Is deeply affected by the war In Cuba, and that its desires for pi ace ere jest. It dec'ares that the present apanisn government 's bound by every consideration to a change of policy that should satisfy the United States and pacify Cuba within a reasonable time. To this end Spain has decided to put Into effect the political reforms heretofore advocated by the present premier, without halting for any consideration in the path which in Us judgment leads to peace. The military operations, it is said, will continue, but will be humane and conducted, with all rosrard for private rights, being accompanied by political action leading to the autonomy of Cuba, while guarding Spanish sovereignty. This, It is claimed, will result In investing Cuba with a distinct personality; the island to be governed by an executive and by a local council or chamber, reserving to Spain the control of the foreign relations, the army and navy and the judicial administration. To accomplish this the present government proposes to modify existing legislation by decree, leaving the Spanish cartes, with the aid of Cuban senators and deputies, to solve, the economic problem and properly distribute the existing debt. In the absence of a declaration o£ the measures that this government proposes to take in carrying out Its proffer of good offices is susgostn that Spain be left free to conduct military operations and grant political reforms, while the United States, for its part, shall enforce its neutral obligations and cut Off the assistance which it is asserted the insurgents receive from this country. The supposition of an indefinite prolongation of the war is denied. It is asserted that tfte western provinces are already well <nigh reclaimed; that the planting of cane and tobacco therein has been resumed, and that, by force of arms and new and ample reforms, very early and complete paciueatlon is hoped for, The immediate amelioration of existing conditions under the new administration of Cuban affairs is predicted, and that, without the disturbance and air occasion for any change of attitude on the part of. the United States.

Discussion of the question of the international duties and responsibilities of the United States as Sparn understands them is pregefrted. <wlrh mi appaient disposition and writers interna!Ion which have been observed by natlona of dignity, honesty and power, when Tree1 from sensitive or selfish and unworthy motives, I fail to find In the insurrection the existence of such a substantial political organisation, real, palftaU* and manifest to the world, having the forms and capable of the ordinary functions of government toward its own people and to other states with courts, for the administration of justice, with i local habitation, possessing such organization of force, such material, such occupation of territory as to take the contest out of the category of a mere rebellious insurrection, or occasional skirmishes and place It on the terrible footing of war, to which a recognition of belligerency would aim to elevate it. The contest, moreover, is solely on land: the insurrection has not possessed itself of a single seaport whence it may send forth Its flag, nor has it any means of communication with foreign powers except through the military lines of its adversaries. No apprehension of any of these sudden and difficult complications which a war upon the ocean is. apt to precipitate upon the vessels, both commercial and national, and upon the con- , sular officers of other powers, calls for the ; definition of their relations to the parties : to the contest. "Considered as a question of expediency, I regard the nccordance of belligerent rights still to be as unwise and premature. as I regard it to be, at present, indefensible as a measure of right. Such recognition entails upon the country, according the rights which flow from it difficult and complicated duties, and requires the exaction from the contending parties of the strict observance of their rights and obligations. It confers the right of search upon the. high 'Seas by vessels of both parties; it would subject the carrying: of arms and munitions of war, which now may be transported fr< e!y and without Interruption In vessels of the United States, to detention and to possible - aelatire; It would givo rise to countless vexatious questions, responsibility for act done by the insurgents, and would invest Spain with the right to exercise the supervision recognised by our treaty of 1795 over our commerce on the high seas, a very large part of which, in its traffic between the Atlantic and the gulf states, and between all of them and the states on the Pacific, passes through, the waters which wash the shores of CuTaa. The exercise of this supervision could' scarce fail to lead, If not to abuses, certainly to collisions perilous to the peaceful relations of the two states. •- .1....1 J^..W* „„ tn what reto charge us with failure in this regard.

If not. the exigency of further and other action by the United States will remain to be taken. When that time come* that action will be determined in the line of indisputable right and duty. It will be. faced, without misgiving or hesitancy. In the lbjht of the obligation this government owes to It- . •elf, to the people who have confided to It the protection of their Interests and honor, and to humanity. Sure of the right, keeping free from all offense ourselves, actuated only by upright and patriotic considerations, moved neither by passion nor selfishness, the government will continue its watchful care over the rights and property of American citizens, and will abate none of Its effort* to bring about by peaceful agencies a peace which shall be honorable and enduring. If it shall hereafter appear to be a duty imposed by our obligations to ourselves, to civilization and humanity, to Intervene with force, It shall be without fault on our part, and only because the necessity for such action will be so clear as to command the support and approval of the civlllied world.

I laid before the senate a treaty signed that day by the plenipotentiaries of the United States and of the Republic of Hawaii, having for its purpose the Incorporation of the Hawaiian Islands as an integral part of the United States and under Its sovereignty. The senate having removed the Injunction of secrecy, although the treaty Is still pending before that body, the subject may be properly referred to In this message, because the necessary action of the congress is required to determine by legislation many detail* of the eventual union, should the fact of annexation be accomplished, as I believe it should be. . While consistently disavowing, from a very early period any aggressive policy of absorption in regard to the Hawaiian group, a long series of declarations through three-quarter* of a century has proclaimed the vital interest of the United State* In the independent life of the islands and their intimate commercial dependence upon t i l s country. At tb£ same time IjC has been repeatedly asserted thai; In ho event could the entity of Hawaiian statehood cease by the passage of the islands under the domination or influence Ther/e can be little doubt as to what re- $ a ™ B t £ , p o w e r thdlt the United nP.u,1l1t ^»..u1,c->h s•iumpoerrvviisslioonn w.. o.u. ld .-h—^o-r^ea -troHng^ -I w a»»t « y M i t h f t , draw this nation.

The present insurrection broke out in February, 1895. It is not my purpose at this time to recall its remarkable increase or to characterize its tenacious resistance against the enormous forces massed against it by Spain. The revolt and the effort* to subdue it carried destruction to every quarter of the island, developing wide proportions and defying the efforts of Spain for its suppression. The civilized code of war has been disregarded, no less so by the Spaniards than by the Cubans. The existing conditions cannot but fill this government and tbe American people with the gravest apprehension. There is no desire on the part of our people to profit by the misfortune* of Spain. We have only the desire to see the Cubans prosperous and contented, enjoying that measure of self-control which is the inalienable right of man, protected in their right to reap the benefit of the exhaustleas treasures of their country. gp«la's Cr«el P o l l e r .

R e c o g n i t i o n of B e l l i g e r e n c y U n w i s e . Of the untried measure* there remain only: Recognition of the insurgent* as belligerents; recognition of the independence of Cuba; neutral intervention to end the war by imposing a rational compromise between the contestants, and intervention in favor of ' one or the other party. I speak not of forcible annexation, for that cannot be thought of. That by our code of morality would be criminal aggression. Recognition of the belligerency of the Cuban insurgent* has often been canvassed as a possible, if not inevitable step, both rn regard to the Previous ten years' struggle and during the present war. I am not unmindful that the two houses of congress, in the spring of 1896, expressed the opinion by concurrent resolution that a condition of public war existed* requiring or Justifying the recognition of a state of belligerency ia Cuba and during the extra session the senate voted a Joint resolution of like import, which, however, wa* not brought to; a vote in the house of representative*. In the presence of these significant expressions of the sentiment of the legislative branch K behooves the executive to soberly consider the condition* under which so important a measure must needs rest for justification. It Is to be seriously considered whether the Cuban insurrection possesses beyond dispute the attributes of statehood which alone can demand the recognition of belligerency in its favor. Possession, in short, of the essential qualification* of sovereignty by the insurgents, and the I conduct of the war by them according to the received code of war. are not leas tan-' portent factors.toward the determination of the problem of belligerency t h e * are the influences aad ooneleejueaoe* o f the straggle upon the interns! poUty of the recognising state. The wise uttecanoe* of President Grant In his memorable meeaae* ef December f. 1*75, are signally relevant to the present situation In Cuba, and It may be wholescene now to pecan" them. At that time a ruinous conflict had for as van years wasted tbe neighboring island. During all those year* an utter disregard of civilized warfare and of the just demands of humanity, which called for the expression* of condemnation from the nation* of Christendom, continued unabated. Desolation and rain pervaded that productive region, enormously affecting the commerce of all commercial nations, but that of the United State* more than any other by reason of proximity and larger trade and Intercourse. At that Juncture Gen. Grant altered these words, whioh now, as then, sum up the elemeat* of the sjroh* lew. vessel from our shores in violation of our still further pertinent considerations ap laws would seem to be a sufficient an- ] p e a r > ln t h e code of nations there is no such thing as a naked recognition of belligerency unaccompanied by the assumption of international neutrality. Such recognition, without more, will not confer upon either party to a domestic conflict a status not heretofore actually possessed; or affect the relations of either party to other states. The act of recognition usually take* the form of a solemn proclamation of neutrality which recites the de facto c6nditloh of belligerency as its motive. It announces a domestic law of neutrality in the declaring state. It assumes the international obligations of a neutral in the presence of a public state of war. It warns all citizens and others within the jurisdiction of the proclamation that they violate those rigorous obligations at their own peril and cannot expect to be shielded from the consequences. The right of visit and search on the sea* and seizure of vessels and cargoes and contraband of war and good prize under admiralty law must, under International law, be admitted as a legitimate consequence of a proclamation of belligerency. While according the equal belligerents rights defined by public law to each party.ln our ports, disfavors would be imposed upon both, which, while nominally equal, would weigh heavily ln behalf of Spain herself. Possessing a navy and controlling the ports of Cuba, her maritime right* could be asserted, not only for the limitary Investment of the island, but up to the margin of our own territorial waters, and a condition of things would exist for which the Cubans, within their own domain, oould not hope to create a parallel; while Its creation through aid or sympathy from within our domain would be even more impossible than now with the additional obligations of international neutrality we would perforce assume. The enforcement of this enlarged and enormous code of neutrality would only be Influential within our own jurisdiction by land and sea, and applicable by oar own instrumentalities.

The questions which have arisen between Japan and Hawaii by reason of the treatment of Japanese laborers emigrating to the islands under the Hawaiian- Japanese convention of 1888, are in a satisfactory stage of settlement by negotiation. This government has not been invited to mediate, and on the other hand has sought no Intervention ln that matter further than to evince its kindliest disposition toward such a speedy and direct adjustment by the two~*overelgn states ln interest as shall cOmport with equity and honor. It is gratifying to learn that the appreheaeions a t first displayed on the part of Japan lest the cessation of Hawaii's national life through annexation might impair privilege* to which Japan honorably laid claim, have given place to confidence in the uprightness of this government and in the sincerity of its purpose to deal with all posalblle ulterior ouestiea* I* the broadest s a i n t of friendliness.

"Improvements Completed* The improvements on the mala line of the Baltimore and Ohio, west of, and between Martinsburg, W. Va„ and North Mountain, were completed November 1st They cover a distance of nearly four miles, starting three miles west of Martinsburg, and extending some distance west of Myers Hole, which is near the North Mountain station. At Myers Hole the line was changed, taking out some very objectionable curvature, and the roadbed raised nearly fifteen feet, eliminating two grades of 42 feet per miles which came together at Myers Hole, and substituting therefor <• an almost level track. This point on the road has always been a dangerous one ana many freight wrecks have occurred there. Apart from doing away with the dangerous feature of two sharp down grades coming together, as was the case in this instance, the saving in operation of the road by the change will be very large, as it enables the tons per train to be greatly increased and reduces the liability to accident to the minimum. At Tablera the road bed has been lowered about thirteen feet, and the same at Tabbs, besides taking out objectionable curvature and reducing the rate of grades at these points from 42 feet per mile to ten feet per mile, thus increasing the cars that can be hauled per train. Though these Improvements have cost Quite a sum of money, the expenditure is fully justified by the great saving in operation. Stead the Advartteesaaats.

Once safe on English soil Caussldiere became himself again. He forgot his abject terror and resumed his old manner. Then, before he had been in London many days, arose the question: How was he to subsist? He had little or no money, and such talents as he possessed were not at that time in mneh demand. A happy thought struck him—be would go down to Scotland, hunt out the rich mistress of Annandale Castle, and perhaps secure some help from her sympathy—or her fear. Thus it befell thai he arrived quietly one day in the town of Dumfries, and within a few hours of his arrival heard that Marjorie was alive and dwelling with her mother at the Castle. Up to that moment he had been in doubt whether the woman he had betrayed was alive or dead—indeed, he had scarcely given her a thought, and cared not what fate had befallen her. But now it was very different. She lived, and by the law of the land was his lawful wife... . His plans were soon laid. He determined to see Marjorie alone, and If she was obstinate and unforgiving, to use what power he had over her to the utmost, with the view of securing present and future help. On reflection, he had not much doubt that he would soon regain his old influence over bjBr; for in the old days she had been as wax in his hands, and her character had seemed altogether gentle and unresisting. He reckoned without his host. These seemingly feeble and too faithful natures, when once they gain the strength of Indignation and the courage of despair, assume a force of determination sometimes unnown and foreign to the strongest and moat pasetnuate men. • •• a. * • As matters had turned out, however, *'. was not with Marjorie herself that the Frenchman had had to reckon, but with her life-long friend and protector, John Sutherland. This pertinacious young hero whom he had always hated, had now fully asserted his authority In giving him the first sound thrashing he had ever received in his life Baffled, bruised and bleeding, livid with mortified rage, Caussldiere remained for some time where Sutherland left him, and when he at last found speech, cursed freely in his own tongue. Then he paced about madly. calling Heaven to witness that he would hare full and fierce revenge. "I win kill him," he cried, gnashing his teeth. "I will destroy him—I will tear him limb from limb! He has outraged me—he has profaned my person —but he shall pay dearly for it, and so shall she—eo shall they all! I was right—he Is her lover; but he shall find that I am master, and she my slave." Presently he cooled a little and sat down to think. What should he, what could he do? Of his power over Marjorie and the child there was no question; by the laws of both England and Scotland he could claim them both. But suppose they continued to set his authority at defiance, what then? They were comparatively rich, he was poor. He knew that in legal strife the richest is generally the conqueror; and, besides, while the war was waging, how was he to subsist? Then he bethought him of his old hold upon Miss Hetherington, of his knowledge of the secret of Marjorie's birth. It was useless to him now, for the scandal was common property, and Mother Rumor had cried it from house to house till She was hoarse.' The proud may had faced her shame, and had overcome it; everyone knew her secret now, and many regarded her with sympathy and nrHnpasaton. For t h e rest, she set public opinion at defiance, and knowing the worst the world could say or do, breathed more freely than she had doae for years. Thus there was a o hope for her. Inaeed, look which way he might, he saw a o means of succor err iwveage. As be sat there, haggard and furious, he looked y e a n older, hot Ida face still preserved a certain nnmartawas.

AUS8JDIBRE remained in the room for some time, but as the face did not reappear, his courage in a measure returned to him. At last he took up his hat and left . the house. He was still very pale and glanced uneasily from side to side; he had by this time forgotten all about the child, and Marjorie, too. He went through a procession of by-streets to the police station, saw the inspector—a grim, bearded Scotchman—and demanded from him police protection. "Protection! What's your danger?" asked the man, politely. "I am in danger of my life!" said Caussldiere. ~ He was very excited and very nervous, and the peculiarity of his manner struck the man at once. "Who's threatening ye?" he asked, quietly. The repose of the stranger irritated Caussldiere, who trembled more and more. "I tell you I am in mortal peril. I am pursued. I shall be killed if I do not have protection, therefore I demand assistance, do you hear?" Yes, the man heard, but apparently did not heed. He already half suspected that the foreigner before him was a madman, and upon questioning Caussldiere a little more he became convinced of it. After a short but stormy scene with the Inspector he walked away, revolving in his mind what he must do to make himself secure. Of one thing he was certain; he must leave Dumfries, and resign all hopes of obtaining further assistance from Marjorie or her friends. He must remain in hiding until political events veered round again and he could return to France. He hurried back to his hotel and locked himself again in his room. He drew down the blinds and lit the gas; then he turned out all the money he At a i i o'clock la the morning tfc% maldi with a Jug of hat Wets* ta haw hand, tripped an the stairs a a d a^ookad) gently at CaussidleTe's bedroom dace.

I M k b U a g like a leaf he sank hook was possessed of, counted it carefully over, and disposed it about his person. His next care was to dispose about his person any little articles which his portmanteau contained; then he drew from his pocket a small box, fixed on the false beard and mustache which it contained, and, having otherwise disguised himself, stood before the mirror so transfigured that he believed even his dearest friend would not have known him. By the time all this was dome it was getting pretty late in the day and close on the departure of the train he ha** decided t» take. He listened; he could hear nothing. He walked boldly out of the room, and having quietly locked the door and put the key in his pocket, strolled leisurely out of the inn and down the street unrecognised by a aouL He went straight down to the railway station, took a ticket for the north and entered the train, which was about to start " He had a carriage to himself; the first thing he did, therefore, was to throw the key which he had taken from the room door out of the window; then he traveled on in comparative peace. It was somewhat late in the evening and quite dark when he reached his destination—a lonely village, not far from Edinburgh. He walked t o the nearest and quietest inn, and took a bedroom on the third floor, y That night he slept in pemde. He remained In the village for several days, and during that time be kept mostly to his room. On the night of the fourth day, however, he rang for the maid, who, on answering the bell, found him in a state of Intense excHememt. "Brim* me a time-table,- he said, ~or tell me when there Is a train from this place."

CHAPTER X X X I X T WAS not nati) a f t e r Cmnssudier* was laid in his grave that the news of his d e c e a s e > reached Marjorie. She read in a Scottish, newspaper » description of tho mysterious death of a French gentleman in a village near Edinburgh, and suspicious of tho truth she traveled to the place in Sutherland's company. The truth warn speedily made clear, for among the loose articles found on the dead man'* person were several letters in Causal* diere's handwriting, and an old photograph of herself taken in Dumfri es. \ It would be false to say that Marjorie rejoiced at her husband's death; it would be equally false to say that it caused heT much abiding pain. She was deeply shocked by his sudden end, that was all. - Nevertheless, she could not conceal from herself that his removal meant life and freedom t o herself and to he/ child. While he livid there would have been no peace for her in this world. He was buried in a peaceful place,' a quiet kirkyard not far from the Sea; and there, some little time afterward, a plain tombstone was erected over has grave, with this inscription: Sacred to the Memory of LEON CAU88IDIERB, Who Died Suddenly in This Village. June 16, IS—. "May he rest in peace." Marjorie had Unplaced there, in per- \ feet forgiveness and tendamess o f heart. And now our tale is almost told. T h o figures that have moved upon our little stage begin slowly to fade away, and the curtain is about to fall. What little more there is to say may be added by way of epilogue In as few words aspossible. In due time, bmt not till year had pawed old lover, John Sutherland. It quiet wedding, and after it was over the pair went away together to t h o Highlands, where they spent a f ul honeymoon. During their al little Leon remained at the Castle with his grandmother, who idolised him ao the heir of the Hetherlmgtoms Om their return they found the old lady had taken a new lease of life, and was moving about the house with much of' her old strength and a little of her 6Uk temper. But her heart was softened and sweetened once and forever, and1'. tin the day of her death, which took place several years afterward, she wao a happy woman. She steeps now In tbeomtet kirkyard, mot far from her oldlfriend, the minister, close to too foot of whose grave is yet another, where* old Sotosnom. the faithful quietly at rest Marjorie Annan—-or shall we csut.

Gaa is used in place of oil la a new illuminating lamp, the oil being placed in„.a reservoir above rthe lamp and allowed to flow through pipes over the flame to generate gas as the pipes become heated, the gas expanding and forcing itself through the slotted burner. ' *• "1 * A new attachment for sewing machinas te a ripper to assist In cutting up cloth or ripping seams, a sharp steel blade being clamped on the needle bar of the machine to work up and down as the machine runs, thus leaving both hands free to feed the cloth across the cutter. A simple speed indicator for bicycles and railway engines consists of a weighted arm drawn toward the center of the shaft on which it is mounted by asprlng attached to the side of the case tbe revolution of the shaft growing it out and pulling an indicator around on the dial. Invalids will appreciate a new device designed for their use which has a I base to rest on the bed and support a | tilting frame with braces to set it any angle, an extension bracket being attached to the side to hold a shelf which can be swung around in front of the Invalid at meal time. An Ohio woman has invented a simple invalid's ohair, which has a hinged back and foot rest supported on the body of the chair by a pair of curved metal arms with notches cut on one aide to set the back and foot rest at different angles, the notches fitting over the cross rods of the chair. Canalboats are to be towed by a new electric device, consisting of a trolley wire mounted on poles along the canal, with brackets attached to the poles just under the wire to support a toothed track over which a carriage supporting the motor runs, the rope being attached to the side of the carriage to draw the boat. Bicycles can be carried on trolley cars without interfering with the passengers by a new bracket which is intended to be attached to the dashboard of the car and project outward, with recesses in the top to receive the frames and slots in the bottom to grasp the wheels and keep the bicycles from rocking. In an aerial railway recently designed a metallic rail is insulated on poles with a cigarshaped balloon holding a carriage above it and attached to the rail by wheels running under it, the car-eontainlng a motor with a large bLaded propeller at the rear to drive the car by an electric current taken from the supporting rails. Variable throwcraaks for bicycles have an eccentric disk mounted in the end of the cranks, with the pedal shaft m o o t e d on one edge sc* -that the foot is nearer the crank a shaft when r i s i u g - t h a n i t i s gc* ing down, thus increasing the leverage without Changing the size of the circle around which the pedal runs. A New York woman has obtained a patent on an attachment for skirts by which they may be lifted on eroesiag muddy places on the street, a series t& cords being attached to the skirt at the back and sides, with the apposite ends running through an opening in the back of the waistband and around to the front to draw the skirts by pulling up the cords. A continuous ice-cream freezer has an ice chamber, the cream cylinder set in the center, the cream being placed in a reservoir above with a pipe running into one end of the freezer, the opposite end being closed until the •ream freezes, when it is opened and the cream forced out, allowing more cream to flow in from the reservoir, the cylinder being revolved by hand or a motor. At one time salmon was quite a common article of food in Germany, so much so, in fact, that at Meissen, in the Elbe valley; the farm servants on taking treBh situations would stipulate that they should not have salmon for dinner more than three times a week. The empress of Germany ftnda pleasant recreation daily in the not man practice of keeping a diary, in which she records her royal experiences, but jealously guards the volume under lock and key, not even allowing the emperor a glimpse of its contents. SCRAPS OP FASHION. Gowns of white satin, trimmed wl(h clouds of chiffon, yards of passementerie and clusters of artificial flowers, are seen frequently at the English races this summer. Grass-green satin covered with black mousseiine de sole is one of the most popular things of the summer. An effective white chiffon gown is gathered down each seam, on to its white taffeta foundation, where appear trails of pearls and crystal passementerie. The newest shirts for morning wear are trimmed with white frills on a colored foundation; for instance, a very neat model of pale-green or mauve or crimson linen would have the central box-plait of white cambric and frills of the same at each Bide, with cuffs and collar of white linen. A buff-colored cloth bicycle gown has Its double seams strapped with black. The full divided skirt is marked by three black pearl buttons near the top of each seam. The waist is basqueshaped, fitting smoothly and closely, and is decorated with double seams. Three black pearl buttons fasten over a heart-shaped plastron of fine batiste, covered with tiny frills of Valenciennes lace. Some new''cycling gloves with silk backs and leather palms have been brought out, but the sHk is too warm for a hot, sunny day. The real doeskin glove is, after all, the best for cycling, as it holds its shape, cleans easily and will stand the hardest grip of the handle bar. Imitation of doeskin is worse than nothing, but good leather is to be found at a reasonable price and will wear for a long time. The traveling cloak, which has usually been a creation too hideous to be adopted very generally, has evolved into a thing of actual beauty. One recently seen was of light gray cloth, lined with pale yellow brocade. Pinked flounces of eloth edged the neck and front opening, and in the midst of Uiese ruffles ran a tall of butter-colored Chantjilly lace; "a stole-like—arrangement of brocade, In which gray, yellow and green blended, gave the finishing torch to this smart wrap., The beretta hat still holds its sway over feminine affections, and with the addition of Increasingly large ospreys. An elaborate edition of the style made of green mousseiine de soie has been figuring at an eastern watering plaee. A large blue bird, with outspread wings a-nd tail erect, is fixed in front. Behind" this an immense aigrette of paradise feathers nods engagingly over a cluster of amber roses which rests on the hair. Another notable hat Is of shot crimson taffeta under black mnnsKPiine de soie. A rolled drapery of both materials composes the brim. A bjgh cluster of crimson and pink roses turns up the leaf on one side, behind which a very high tuft of goura feathers dyed black shows bravely. The tendency to extreme height in hat trimmings is especially noticeable abroad. PEOPLE.

Trlala tor "leae maieete"—which, in prac^e^, m,eau| criticlftm of the emperor— are ao common in Germany that Wjlliam II. appeara to be a law unto himself. A weU«kftown diplomatist at" flrma, however, that it ia not so. -A writer in the Living Church saw this aign on the door of a Chinese laundry in Chicago; "Please help us to remember the Sabbath day t o keep it holy by bringing your clothes t o the laundry before ten otlock on Sundays."-- Only one of the Chinamen was acquainted with the1 English language, and all were apparently heathen. The irony was obvious, a n d n h e lesson for people calling themselves Christians quite as plain. There is a time-honored notion that a nap after maalu pmmotftfi rtlffeadoiy and, filled with this belief, a large" number of persons habitually take a nap after dinner, and think they are doing precisely the best thing tor their health. There are other good authorities, too, who claim that sleep during digestion elouds the mind and predisposes those who indulge in it to apoplexy and stupidity. A French scientist has made this subject a study, and by exhaustive experiments lias discovered that sleep-does not aid digestion, but rest and-a horizontal position are of great advantage in promoting the proper conditions for perfect digestion and assimilation of food. '.-• — ' " J i — r The Society for checking ,|h* Abuse of Public Advertising, founded four years ago in England, lasts been highly successful in awakening the sentiment of reform. The Thames Riyer is by act of parliament protected from any advertising whatever o n its banks; a series of gnWo-oooka talis attention to ascent advertises* disfigurements of beasitiful scenory; toe council of London hae condemned some monster boarding* erected for advertising p^irposes, and the superior courts have enforced the prohibislon of sky signs. America gtsjafo so^less la seed of such an association ead such a sentiment "The way in whjoft I shall help," e»- claisjaed a young matron recently, "is by -gover buying sudh articles as I see advertised amid natural scenery or tn objectionable methods. They shall be lmssossed upon my mind as something to be shunned," What a great mistake it is to content that time taken from toil for sleep and reeroatloo is time lost! There is no greater fallacy, for sleep and recreation form, as it were, the cement put in to All up the joints in order to keep out t h e weather and preserve tke edifice. A man does not necessarily require rteoes, honors or oftee—although the majority of us naturally have an ambition to attain one o \ t h e s c desiderata—but he does need food, work and sleep. It follows, therefore, that he should .use every means to promote life, and among these there are throe things to be kept in mind. When a man denies himself sleep,food, and the exercise work, gives both to brain and body, lie iM robbing his life of its full term. Let him be cheerful also, jtor the body is like an engine—it •will run well and long if it is well oiled. Contentment and cheerfulness are the oil which keeps the nerves from wearing o u t Special Aeont A. J.

Icy'rails, an almost impenetrable fog, a misunderstanding of orders or gross carelessness on the port of someone, were the principal factors in the cause of a terrible collision of two new heavy trolley ears of the Detroit & Pontlao eleotrlo railway. The plaoa where the accident occurred also largely contributed to the serious results. A southbound ear i n charge of John Savage superintendent of the road, started down a steep hill, about midway between Pontine and Birmingham, about the same time a northbound car left the top of another hill o half mile nearer Birmingham, l In the sweep between the hills the track curves somewhat and it was at this point that the two cars, well loaded with human freight, collided while going at full force and three souls were instantly burled into the presence of their Maker, A heavy fog hung over th'is valley and prevented the motormen from seeing each other's car until they were quite close together, and then the glare of ice which covered the tracks and the momentum of the down grade prevented the proper servioe of the brakes o n d the oraah jvas terriflo and was heard at the farm houses on the adjoining hilltops.

Negotiations to this «nd are new in progress. Nicaragua Cevnal.

How to prevent it. u V Every person, male or female, shrinks from baldness. It adds to the appearance of age and is a serious discomfort. The eaies are rare when the falling out of the hair may not be stopped, and a new and healthy growth of the hair promoted. The hair grows in the scalp like a plant in the soil. If a plant nourishes, it must have constant attention: it must be watered regularly and And its food in the soil where it is rooted. It's so with the hair. Neglect i» usually the beginning of bald. ness. Dandruff is allowed to thicken on the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The scalp loses Its vitality. The hair, iu sufficiently nourished, begins to fade and to fall. The instant need iu such a case i» some practical preparation . which, supplying the needed nourishment to the •calp, will feed the hair, give it strength, and *o produce a strong aud healthy growth.. All this is doue by Dr. Ayer'a Hair Vigor, the most practical and valuable preparation for the hair that can be obtained. It tones up the scalp, does away with dandruff, stops the hair from falling, restores the original color to gray or faded hair, and gives an abundant and glossy growth.

The pension appropriation bill passed the House without amendment—carrying $141,263,880. Amendments offered by the Democrats to correct a l l e g e d existing abuses, were all ruled out on the point of order that they were n e w legislation. The debate touched not o n l y the question of our pension policy, b u t that of civil service reform and the receipts and expenditures of the treasury under the Dingley law. Oil the latter question Mr. Dingley made an important s t a t e m e n t in which he expressed the opinion that the receipts would equal expenditures before the close of the present fiscal year, and predicted a surplus of 810,000,000 for the f o l l o w i n g year.

It was supb a fair day and such a fair "View! Behind on the higher ground •stood a rambling old house, half hall, half farm-house—a house with a long red-brick front, and a sort of terracegarden from which you might look across the fields and the long green stretches of land over which the bold sea camo and went at ebb and flow of the tides. It was a quaint old garden, with turf like velvet, and raised beds cut in it here and there, gay with blazing scarlet geraniums a n d blue ./lobelias, and kept neat and tidy by a # l ^ q u a i n t b o r d e r i n g of red tiles set-edge- J * ways into the ground. Tbere were tall * trees, too, about this domain, which hid the farm-buildings from Bight, ami also helped to shield the house from the fierce winter blasts, and In front there lay a rich and verdant meadow sloping gently down to the high-road, where Just then a man and a young girl had stopped for a moment as they walked along together. "Mayn't I come In?" the man said, Imploringly. "No, I don't think y o * must," the girl answered. "You see, auntie has gone to Colchester, and she wouldn't like me to ask you in when I knew she wasn't there. No, I d o n t think you must come in this time."

"No; for the train does not get t o Wrabness til twenty-four minutes past •even—it is not as much past six yet," she said, simply. "But," he said, finding that there was no chance of his effecting a n entrance within- the fortress, "are you bound to go in Just yet?" "No, I am not; but you are bound to go back t o Lady Jane's far your dog-cart. She knows that yon came with me, and she knows t h a t auntie is in Colchester." "Lady J a n e knows too much," he said, vexedly. "Yea, I suppose I must sometimes when the auntie was coming you might be coming, too, and I might show you round a little—the lions and all that, you know. T h a t was alL" "But I don't think," said Dorothy Strode, taking h im literally, "that a u n t i e would ever want to be shown round Colchester, or the lions, or anything. You see, she has lived at the Hall for more than fifty years, and probably knows Colchester a thousand times as well as you do." ^True! I might have thought of that," and he laughed a little a t his own mistake, then added suddenly: "But don't you think your aunt might like to come and have afternoon tea in my quarters? Old ladles generally love a bachelor tea." " I don't think s h e would," said Dorothy, honestly. "You see, Mr. Harris, my aunt Is rather strict, and she never does anything unusual, and—" At that moment she broke off short as a fairly smart dog-cart driven by a young man passed them, a n d returned the salute of the occupant, who had lifted his hat as soon as he saw her.

It was evident that she did not want t o talk about the owner of the dogcart, bsft the soldier went on without heeding: "And you know him well?" "I have known him all my life," she said, with studied carelessness. In the face of her evident unwiTTingness t o enlarge upon the subject, the soldier had no choice but to Vet her take the racket from him. **Qood-by," she said, holding out her hand to him. *'Good-by," he answered, holding it a good deal longer than was necessary; "but tell me I may rinmp anil r a i l ?

"That is so. Well, good-by:" "But you haven't said when I may come;" he cried. "No; say one day next waflk," with a gay laugh. "But which day?" "Oh, you must take your efe&nce of that.

Now how, his thoughts ran, could the little woman have got hold of a n idea that his name was Harris? Dick Harris! Well, to be sure, it didn't sound bad, but then i t did not suit him. Dick Aylmer he was and Dick Aylmer he would be to t h e end of the chapter except—except, ah, well, well, that was a contingency he need not trouble himself about at present. I t was but a contingency and a remote one, and he could let i t take care of itself until the time came for him to fairly look it in the face, when probably matters would conveniently and comfortably arrange themselves. And then he fell to thinking about her again, and what a pretty name hers was—Dorothy Strode! Such a pretty name, only Dorothy Aylmer would look oven prettier—Mrs. Richard Aylmer the prettiest of them all, except, perhaps, to hear his men friends calling her "Mrs. Dick." And then he pulled himself up with a laugh to think how fast his thoughts had been running on—why, he had actually married himself already, after an hour and a half's acquaintance ami before even he had begun his wooing! And with another laugh he turned in at the gates of Lady Jane's place, where he must say his farewells and get his dog-cart. Lady J a n e was still on the lawn, and welcomed him with a smile. She iffas a stout, motherly woman, still young enough to be sympathetic. "Ah, you are back," she said. "Now, is not that a nice girl?" "Charming," returned Dick, sitting down beside her and answering in his most conventional manner. Lady J a n e , frowned a little,'being quite deceived by the tone. She was fond of Dorothy herself a n d would dearly like to make a m a t c h f o r her. She had seen with Joy t h a t Mr. Aylmer seemed very attentive to her, and had encouraged him in his offer to escort her down the road to her aunt's house—and now he had come back again with his cold, conventional tones A NECKLACE OF PEARLS "Does she often go r "Oh, no; not often."

"Yes, it Is r a t h e r a long passage—twelve hours—but the boats are big and t h e weather is smooth, and I t i s a great convenience being able to drive from from one's own door to the boat Itself —one starts so much fresher, you know."

Invitations to the reception, whioh was held on the campus amoug the trees west of Williams hall, were not delivered until ten o'clock; but the Wells Hall boys responded almost to a man, and so promptly that nearly two hours of entertainment was enjoyed. The program consisted in lining up at close quarters and rapidly exchanging small, round balls of snow. The guests entered enthusiastically into the sport and it is said, easily carried off the honors, having three# black eyes to one of their hosts. The affair was entirely informal, and consequently, all sorts of costumes from cutaway coat and creased trousers to full dress foot ball suits with nose and shin guards, were worn.

A paper in Havana wants somebody to lynch a few Americans In that town. The man to do the business is not the editor of the paper, we feel sure. Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale said in a lecture in Boston that he found V that nine out of ten in a class of girls In one of the city's public schools had never heard of Noah's ark. A Springfield (Mass.) girl who ran away from college wore "a black skirt and a black flat cap." Meager though the description is, it is Sufficient to enable anybody to identify the girl. Believing in the possibility of recovering the iron contained in low-grade ore, and so bringing vast tracts of hitherto worthless magnetite into commercial value, Mr. Edison haB devoted six years of time and nearly three million dollars of his private fortune to a process which, according to the Electrical Review, is now perfected and will have a tremendous effect upon the iron Industry of the world. OLD TIME CUSTOMS. The son of. Grover Cleveland Is to be congratulated that he was horn too late to be called the prince. That title affixed to the name of a young man means the grossest of abuse on the part of the newspaper reporters. They follow him wherever he goes. Lot him be wise and a good fellow and they grow humorous over him just the same. Let him submit to interviews and they misrepresent him. Let him refuse to be Interviewed and they insult him to his face and afterward In print. He is a marked man, and mallce follows him as naturally as his own shadow. Let the little Grover thank heaven that his father is too old ever to be president again. The annual report of Paymaster- Qeoeral Edwin Stewart shows that daring the past fiscal year the eost of maintaining the Ships of the navy In commission was $8,938,549, and of maintaining navy yards and stations $3,668,930. Repairs cost $1,773,203, and the Marine Corps cost $836,713. The total cost of maintaining the navy during the year was $17,514,231, not including increases of the navy and improvements. The paymaster general shows that, while there has been an increase In expenditures for stores, the purchases have been made with great care and with regard to the actual needs of the service, and that there has been a marked decrease in eost of supplies, as well as great saving In requisitions, etc, as a result of the system pursued hy the bureau. General Stewart earnestly urges an increase of the paymaster's corps by twenty, and in support of his request points to the recent additions to the number of ships in the navy, each requiring its pay officer. The London Times says: "The trade of the Mexican republic is increasing with considerable rapidity. Last year the imports amounted to £9,395,547, against £7,249,009, while the exports were £11,750,000, against £11,250,000 the previous year. The increase in im ports was spread over all staples, but was chiefly marked in the case of iron and steel and in machinery and implements. British imports were greater in 1896 than in 1895, yet they only amounted to 17 per cent of the whole impoit trade in 1896, while they were 19 per cent the year before. The imports from the United States, on the other hand, were 52½ per cent of the import trade of Mexico, against 45 per cent in 1895. This, our consul at Mexico observes, should warm British merchants and manufacturers that 'unless they soon make a serious effort they will have to give up all hope of profiting by the increase in the Mexican Import trade, and may even lose part of the ..very limited share eC it they at present enjoy.' The trade in textiles generally, in which England has so far held her own, becomes each year a entailer proportion of the import trade, owing t o toe Improvement in Aoaaestic MiliiifirtqiM metals and machinery, cm tiae otswr hand, are every T«** Important" The British taxpayer has learned j that he can not afford to neglect the management of his city. He insists that he get- the worth of his money, and that the business of the corporation be conducted honestly and efficiently. For this purpose he selects city officials on the basis of merit and keeps them in office as long as their work is satisfactory—no longer. On the other hand, the American citi7.cn mixes politics with municipal business and intrusts the management of his city to one or the other of the political party machines organized for the benefit of their organizers and directors. By Winona Butler. There is no brighter fact 1» history than Christmas. The golden thread of its influence can be traced through nearly nineteen centuries. On the first Christmas morning the angels sang: "Peace on earth, good will to men." The glad refrain has been repeated each Christmas season in every Christian land, though the character of the music varies greatly. Our ancestors were In the habit of forming companies which vent from house to house, singing Christmas carols in the streets. These beautiful carols would break the sUhJtess of the winter night or early Christmas morning, making a most delightful beginning to the merry day. But these holy jubilees had as rivals the mingling instruments of those wandering spirits of harmony—the "Waits." One author writes: "Marl and many a time have we beet, awakened by the melody of the Walts, and have lain and listened to their wild music, its solemn swells and 'dying falls,' kept musical by the distance and made holy by the time, till we could have fancied that the morning stars were again Binging as of old they W n g together for joy,' and that the sounds of their far anthem came floating to the earth." The German children probably believe more firmly in Krlss Kringle, or Santa Claus. than do the children of any other nation. Germany is the birthplace ofy Kriss Kringle, and the wonderland otjable and poetry. German children afce^taught to love the Christ-chUd< In many parts of the country it is the custom, on the morning before Christmas, to let a figure representing the Christ-child wave past the window of the room where the little ones sleep. Half awake only, in the gray of the morning they see this little child-figure flit dimly past, and they go to sjeep again in the blissful consciousness that the Christ-child has not forgotten them, and that they will have an abundance of presents around the tree in the evening. A beautiful custom in - Norway and Sweden is the Christmas feeding of birds. Bunches of oats are placed on the roofs of houses, on fences and vwo youug mcu must take tin cook by the arms and run her around the market place till she i i ashamed of her lasineas. The "Yule log" is a great log of wood, sometimes the root of a tree, brought into the house with great ceremony on Christmas Eve, laid in the fireplace and lighted with the brand of last year's log. While it lasted there was great drinking, singing and telling of tales. Sometimes it was accompanied by Christmas candles, but^ in the cottages the onljj light was from* the ruddy blase of the great wood Are. The Yule los was to hum all night; if it went out, it was considered a sign of ill-luck. The Christmas dlnuer WSB- the central feature of all. the gay festivities. The table was literally loaded with good cheer. The boar's head held the place of honor and was a lordly affair, brought in by the butler, attended by a servant on either side with a large wax light. The head waa carried on a silver dish, the tusks piercing brightred apples, while between them an orange was laid, the whole graced with an abundance of sauce. When this, "the rareBt dish in all the land," was placed at the head of the table, one of the company sang a carol suited to the great occasion. \ The Christmas peacocks were also gorgeous, the bird being flayed, roasted and then sewed up again In all the splendor of its brilliant feathers, a piece of cotton saturated with spirits being placed within the gilded beak to burn while the carver was at work. Still more curious was the ancient peacock pie, the bird being covered by the crust, save that on one side appear- =55 ITEMS OJbl -INTEUEST. PUNGENT PARAGRAPHS PICKED PROMISCOUSLY.

Cartloads of sheaves are brought into town for this purpose, and both rich and poor buy and place them everywhere. The sentiment is that a man must be very poor indeed if he cannot spare a farthing to feed the little birds on Christmas day.

President McKlnley continued his vigil all day and up to the last moment, much as he had the preceding days. He sat almost constantly in the sick room and theTe secured about-all the rest he had. His attention has been almost wholly given to the patient, watching intently for the slightest change. He had the newspapers at his side, and when the mother rested peacefully he glanced over the columns for the news of the day. He and his wife took a few turns on the porch for exercise and a little fresh air, and a little later he and his brother Abner took a walk through the back streets. Aside from this he was scarcely out of the room. "Cuba la Lost," Says a High Spaniard.

The fury «f an Unf«itr«red Element Fills to Crtuh Them—Vhe Fire Fiend Defied* The news comes from Attica, Ind., of the destruction, by fire, of the big laboratory and office building of the Sterling Remedy company, makers of Casoarets Candy Cathartic and No-To- Bac, the original guaranteed tobacco habit cure, ^hc preparations made by this big corporation are known throughout the world. The fire broke out in one of the packing rooms on the third floor during the noon hour, and had made considerable headway before it was discovered. The Sterling Remedy company is the principal industry of the beautiful little city of Attica, employing several hundred people, besides being afRlfated with the Interests at the Indian's Mineral Springs, the faimous Magno-Mud Cure. The entire population was worked up to a fren/.y of excitement. Meanwhile the almost proverbial energy and presence of mind of "Hustling" Harry Kramer, the general manager of The Sterling Remedy company, was displayed. He was the coolest man at the scene. He quietly walked away, and secured a big carriage show room near by, and had all office furnt» ture, charred and delapldated as It was, taken there. Several shipments were made the same evening from goods saved, and on Friday morning, all departments wore at work in various rooms about town, while a gang of men were cleaning away the wreckage preliminary to rebuilding. The actual damage amounts to many thousands of dollars; the loss due to interruption of business and confusion of detail IB inestimatable, but pluck and.energy of one man will turn defeat into victory and move the wheels of business to ever-increasing speed. Nothing can stop the success of Caeca rets and No-To-Bac with such characteristic force behind them. ' Act without thought attd TOU are a foolthink without act and you .are a visionary.

With reeling brain and falling limbs he-tottered over to the leather bench that encircled the room and threw j himself on It For some minutes he gazed vaguely about this private gambling hell In which he had wasted the £eat years of his youth, recognizing one iby one the plundered heads of the \ {players In the bold glare of the .three \ creat green shades. He heard the soft {friction of the gold on the felt and (realized his loss, his ruin; but he remembered that at home, in a bureau [drawer, there were two army pistols [which had been bravely used by his father, General De. Hem, in the att&ok of Zaatcha, Then utterly worn out, he alept profoundly. 1 He awoke with parched throat and glancing at the cloek saw that he had barely slept a half hour. An imperative need to breathe the night sir came over him. The hands marked a quarter to midnight, and, on rising and stretching his arms, Lucien {recollected that it was Christmas eve, And by an ironical freak of memory he paw himself a little child again putting his shoes In front of the chimney at Jbedtime. ; Just then old Dronaki, the Pole, a ^fixture of the place, In threadbare, jhraided livery, came up to Lucien and mouthed a few words in his dirty beard. » "Lend me five francs, Monsieur. Here jars two days since I have been out of 'the dub and 17 has not turned up once. * • • Laugh at me if 700 will, but you may cut off my fist If 17 does not jOome eat In a few minute*, when the [clock strike* midnight" t Lucien d« Hem shrugged his shouliders; he had not even the wherewithal ;m his pocket to pay the tax known by (the house habitues as "The Pole's snow. She had gone to sleep there, in spite of the cold, in a painful attitude of utter weariness, with her poor little head and shoulder propped in an angle of the icy etone. One of her old shoes had fallen from the foot which hung over and lay in the snow. Lucien de Hem felt mechanically for his vest pocket, and was suddenly reminded that a moment before he had not even found a forgotten franc, nor 3, pourbolre for the valet. However, stirred by an instinctive pity, he approached the little girl, and would perhaps have carried her in his arms to give her a night shelter, had he not seen something shining in the old shoe as It lay in the snow. He bent over. It was a gold louis. Some charitable person, a woman, doubtless, in passing by this Christmas eve had seen the shoe in front of the sleeping child, and had remembered the touching legend. This generous alms had been given so that the little one might believe in the gifts of the holy child, and in spite of her dlstress retain some hope in the goodness of Providence. A louls! It meant many days of plenty for the beggar, and Lucien was about to waken and tell her so, when he heard a voice in his- ear, a drawling, thick voice, mumbling: "Here are two days since I have been out of the club. You can cut off my fist if 17 does not come out when the clock strikes midnight." Then the young man of 23, coming of honest stock with a magnificent military record, never failing in honor, this ydung man suddenly conceived a . * ' He passed into the hall, put on his hat, hie seat, then deaeeaded the stairs jwftlt the haste-of a fevered person.

Assuring himself with one glance that the street was deserted he swiftly stooped, advanced a trembling hand, and stole the louis from the old shoe. With a wild rush he reached the club again, cleared the stairs in one impetuous rush, Hung open the door of the reeking hall, and threw the gold piece on the green, just as the clock chimed the first stroke of midnight. "All en 17!" Seventeen won. With a turn of his hand he shoved the 86 louls on red. Red won. He left 72 louis on the same color. Again it appeared. Three times he pot up the doubled stakes with the same luck. There was now a great heap of gold and bank notes in front of him, and he began frantically to sow them broadcast over the table. Every combination favored him.

In his haste to play he had kept on his heavy coat, and the great pockets were already crammed with rolls of bank notes and gold pieces. He now had to stuff them into his inside pockets, his vest and trouser pockets, his cigar case, his handkerchief, and everything that could hold (hem. He still played. He still won; like a lunatic, like a drunken man! He threw the gold anywhere on the table with disdainful certainty. In his heart a redhot Iron was burning; he thought only of the child asleep in the snow; of the little beggar he had robbed. "She is still there, of course; certainly, she must be there! In a minute, when it strikes I—I swear it—I will leave here and carry her home sleeping in my arms. I will bring her up, love her as my own child, and care for her always, always." The clock struck 1, the quarter, the half, the three-quarters, and Lucien still sat at the table. A minute before 3- the banker rose abruptly and said In a sharp voice: "Enough for the day, gentlemen; the bank is closed." Lucien leaped to his feet. Roughly he pushed the players aside als they lingered about, eyeing him with envious admiration; hurriedly he cleared the stairs and ran to the stone bench. "Thank God!" he cried; "she* is still there!" He seized her hand. "Ah! how cold she is, poor little one!" As he lifted her in his arms the child's head ^11 back limp, and she did not waken. How children sleep, he thought, pressing her to his breast for warmth; and, vaguely anxious, he was about to kiss her lids to draw her from this heavy slumber, when he saw with terror that the child's eyes were half open, showing glassy pupils, extinguished and motionless. With terrible suspicion Lucien brushed her little lips with his own, and no breath came from them. While Lucien had been winning a fortune with the louis stolen from her, this little beggar had died of cold. His throat contracted in awful agony, he tried to cry out • • * and in the effort—he awoke from a nightmare on the bench at the club, where he had fallen asleep before midnight, and had been left undisturbed by the kindness of the old valet, who had gone off last of all at 5 o'clock. His heart had been touched by the poor bankrupt. A noisy December dawn was peering through the panes. Lucien went out, pawned his watch, bathed, breakfasted, then went to the recruiting office, where he enlisted in the First African daaaseurs. Lucien de Hem is now a lieutenant; he lives on his small pay and never touches a card. It appears that he saves something, too, for not long ago, in Algiers, he was. seen by a brother officer who was walking behind him in a winding street of the Kasha giving alms to a little Spanish beggar asleep under a doorway. The officer had the indiscretion to look at the money which Lucien had given to poverty. Ho had put a gold louis la the child's hand.

The following statement is one of great interest to many a citizen of Kalamazoo, and a man as well known as Mr. Wallace should carry more than ordinary weight with our readers. Here it is as taken down by our representative: " My name is John A. Wallace. I am a member of the firm of J. A. Wallace & Co., doing business as tinners, etc., at 100 Eleanor Street, Kalamazoo, in which city I also reside. For the past uine or ten months I have been having attacks of kidney complaint, the pain in my back over my hips was very severe at times; my urinary system was also in a bad state of derangement, sometimes the urine was scanty and then again the amount would be excessive, and a difficulty of passage always existed. I heard of Doan's Kidney Fills at a time when I felt that I was going to be sick, but their use warded off an attack, and I am now feeling very much better; the urinary organism has regained a normal condition, and the terrific pain in my back is much reduced in severity, while it is now fast going away altogether. I am continuing the use of Doan's Kidney Pills, with positive feeling that they will effect on me a permanent and speedy cure. I have unbounded confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills as a remedy for all kidney ailments; have good reason to be, as they have done so much for me." Can you ask any more than this? Doan's Kidney Pills are relieving more backs of the burdens they have been forced to bear through the kidneys than all other means devised, and, better still, they are doing this right here in Michigan.

Union Men Win at Ludington. Officials of the F. Jk P. M. railway have signed a contract with the Federation of Labor at Ludington to make the immense freight depot there a union shop, and hereafter all laborers hired must be members of the federation. The federation numbers 700 members at Ludingtou. This movement results from the failure of the railroad to make contracts with western shippers, who were afraid of winter strikes, owing to the fact that several months ago the F. & P. M. freight-handlers went on strike, and the company had hard work filling their places, the entire community being in sympathy with the strikers. Fatal Boiler Explosion.

Germany's Occupation of Ktao-Ceau the Beginning of tho Partition of China Which Una Bss-n Talksd of for Many Years la Diplomatic Circles. Following* the occupation of Kiao- Chau and the surrounding Chinese territory by Germany comes the announcement that Russia has taken, possession of Port Arthur, and now it is bald that Great Britain's Asiatic squadron has Bailed to make a grab of Quelpaert island, which is 60 miles south of Korea and in the entrance to the Yellow sea. The French government ha* dispatched the cruiser Jean Bart to Chinese waters and evidently intends to be prepared get a chance at a,part of the prize. The London and continental papers are busily discussing the ''partition of China" which shows that all of .these moves are generally regarded as of great importance, and in this- connect tion it is said that discussion of the Russian occupation of Port Arthur took up the whole time of a recent meeting of the British cabinet Telegrams from all the continental capitals show that Russia's step at Port Arthur is regarded as tantamount to|n permanent occupation and a reply to Germany's action. Japan is of course deeply interested as she abandoned Port Arthur principally to please Russia. Previous to the war between China and Japan, Port Arthur was the largest naval station possessed by the Chinese, and was strongly fortified. Japan was very anxious to hold Port Arthur permanently, but Russia objected very strongly, and threatened to back up her objection by force. Russia's great anxiety to possess Port Arthur is due to the fact that the harbor is free from ice all the winter, which is not the case with Vladivostock, the present headquarters of the Russian fleet in the far oast It is proposed to connect Port Arthur with the Russian railroad now being built through Manchuria, which will in turn connect with the great Trans-Siberia f railroad. The general belief that Japan will be greatly provoked and popular indignation aroused by this action of Russia is borne out by the report that the Japanese squadron has sailed from Nagasaki for the Chinese coast. The comment of the European press on the state of affairs is of great interest. The Novoe Vremya of St. Petersburg pretends that Japan has no cause for complaint, "siuce Chiua is only giving the same shelter to Russian ships as Japan had hitherto so kindly afforded." This view is not held in Berlin, where the papers are already tallring of the possibility of Prince Henry, of Prussia, who has command of the y- German squadron just sent to Chinese waters, having to shake his mailed fist at Japan, which is supposed to be secretly backed up by England. Some of the Berlin papers express anxiety, but most of them welcome the news from Port 'Arthur as justifying the German position at Kiao-Chau, if not as actual evidence that Russia and Germany are acting together. The Parisian papers, without pretending to be deceived by Russia's innocent explanations, are pleased with the action of the ally of France. The burden of Viennese comment is, what will England do? The London Globe says: "Russia and Germany now have the two most important strategical positions in northern China, and Great Britain, whose commercial interests there are 10 times greater, must be content with tbe crumbs from the S t Petersburg aad Berlin tables.'* The Pall Mall Gazette says: "Of course, the partition of the coast, which is bound to come, will not be confined to Russia and Germany. Every naval state in the world is actively concerned in the disturbance of the equilibrium in the far east. Great, Britain, France and Japan especially. The tame acquiescence with these seizures is not worthy of our past and is fatal to our future. We may remark that we shall not be without sympathizers, as the Japanese will most joyfilly, back any scheme to redress the bitter humiliation they have suffered at the hands of Russia." The Standard, the Daily Telegraph and other London papers strongly urge the government to protect England's interests in China. It is said that high officials Chinese court have advised the emperor, in view of further complications, to remove the court to Nankin, the "southern capital." It is also reported that overtures have been made to England to exercise protection over the Yang Tse valley awo the West river, and that numerous rumors are current regarding tbe activity of the British squadron in Chinese waters. An unconfirmed report is current that part of the British far eastern squadron will be stationed at Wei-Hai- Wei this winter, which indicates that •Great Britain is working in harmony with Japan. The latter A till holds Wei-Hai-Wei, pending the payment of the war indemnity due from China. iu^the I Care has a co-operative batter factory.

BENJAMIN DOTTEN I T T L B POLLY went over to her grandmother's to see Aunt Vlny.who iiad just come from Wisconsin, "Your Aunt VIny's up-stairs unp a c k i n g," said grandma, "and it's cold there. Stay here till she comes down, tiere are some peppermints for you." Grandma handed Polly a little paper bag of peppermints. They were good and strong. Polly liked them. . Ten minutes later in came Polly's mother. "Where's Viny?" she asked, and then she smelt peppermint "Polly, Polly!" she said, "come right here. Was that bag full? You'll be sick it you eat another one. Give them to me!" "Put them here," said grandma, pointing to an old china tea-caddy on the closet shelf, "That's where I drop notions.'' Polly did as grandma said, for somehow she trusted the caddy more than her mother's pocket. Then her mother carried her off to And Aunt Viny, and after that they went home. The caddy was a good place for notions. It already held some shoe buttons, a bad quarter and a recipe for mangoes; also a Uttle pocketbook containing ten cents. That was Ben's. He hid it there when he was going chestnutting, because the clasp was broken Now Polly's peppermints went in, presently grandma, who had been buying nutmegs, put them all into the caddy because Viny was talking, and it confused her. "Now, mother/' said Viny, "I've come home this winter to help yo*. I'm going to regulate the closet so we shall know where everything is." "I know where everything is now^ said the old lady. But ViiTy~Was already clearing tfce shelves and putting on fresh papers. Then she set things back methodically. "This old caddy of nutmegs," she said, "I'll put in the other closet where the eggs are." "It's handy for notions," said grandma. "Oh, well, this cracked sugar bowl will answer for notions. I'll set it where the caddy was, and drop this lump of alum in i t " So the sugar bowl took the place rf the caddy, and when Ben looked for his pocketbook it was not there, so he thought he did not remember right It was disappointing, for he wanted ten cents to buy a ball. Still, that did not matter, for next day it was skatestrape he wanted, and the next he had a chance to buy another boy's knife. But he couldn't find the pocketbook, Perhaps Polly took cold the day she went where Aunt Viny was unpacking. She had a sore throat and wore flannel around her neck lor two weeks. The next time she want to her grandmother's it was Christmas. There was roast goose for dinner and all kinds of pie. Ben was there. He had never found his ten cents. If he had, he would perhaps have bought a sugar dove for Polly. While the folks sat around the fire talking, Polly, perched in a tall chair with nothing to do, had a audden memory. She got down, ran to the kitchen closet, and saw the sugar bowl. It had buttons and alum and a broken apoo:i in i t but Polly was not to be imposed upon.. "Ca%dy! caddy! caddy!" she cried, running up and down. "It's tho old tea-caddy that ahe wants/' said grandma. % "That's in the other closet. We keep nutmegs in I f aaid Aunt Viny. "There. Mrs. Gray wanted that!" exclaimed grandma. And now Bon was putting his own hand In. Yes, there It was! his pocketbook and his ten cents! "Well, I declare!" said Aunt Viny. Ben sat down to consider. It wa-, now too late for Christmas, but he might do something for New Year's He had heard Aunt Viny talk about calls and cards. Only the day before a boy who had a printing press had offered to print cards, twenty-five for ten cents, and every card was to have a picture of a flower or a bird upon it. "I'll buy cards," thought Ben, and he went at once*to find the boy. On New Year's Day Ben, clean and shining, ca!:*\i Polly into the parior. "I'm making calls," he said. "Thin is your call. Choose the card you like best." Polly waB delighted. She picked out the prettiest card, with "Mr. Benjamin Dotten" and a pair of doves upon It Then Ben went forth from neighbor to neighbor impartially. He was very successful. He met with smiles everywhere, and in some places he met with apples and New Year's cakes. Everybody seemed glad to receive a card with "Mr. Benjamin Dotten" upon it. together with a picture. When it came to the last he hesitated. .He was tired and wanted to go home. It seemed to him he would rather see his good, kind grandmamma than anybody else in the world.

Hospitals in great cities are sad places to visit Threefourtha of the patients lying on those snow-white beda( are women and girls. Why should this be the caaa ? Because they have neglected themselves! Women as a rule attach too little importance to first symptoms of a certain kind, If they have toothache, they will try to save the tooth, though many leave even this too late.. They comfort themselves with the thought that they can replace their teeth; but they cannot replace their internal organs! Every one of those patients in the hospital beds' had plenty of warnings in the form ot bearing-down i feelings, pain at the right or the luft of the womb,, nervous dyspepsia, pain in the small of the b&ck, the " blues," or some other unnatural symptom, but they did' aot heed them. Don't drag along at home or in the shop until yon are finally obHgedVto go to the hospital and submit to horrible examinations and orjera£ion*f Build up the female organs. Lydia E. Pinkhama Vegetable Compound will save you from the hospital. It wjll put new life into you. The following letter shows how Mrs. Lyness escaped the hospital and a fearful operation. Her experience should encourage other women to follow her example. She aaya to Mrs. Pinkham: "I thank you very much for what year hate done for me, for I had given up in despair. Last February, I had a miscarriage eanaed by overw ork. It affected my heart, caused me to have sinking spells three to four a day, lasting sometimes half a day. I could not be left alone. I flowed constantly. The doctor called twice a day ' for a week, and once a day for four weeks, then three or four times a week for four months. _ Finally he said I would have to undergo an operation. Then I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound* and after one week I began to recover and steadily improved until I waa cured completely. By taking the Pinkham medicine, I avoided an operation which* the doctor said I would certainly have to undergo.

William le Queux, who came into prominence with "Zoraida," has contracted for a serial story to be brought om in 1901. No one can accuse Mr. le Quoux of not being sufficiently farsighted. Mrs. Caffyn, the author of "The Yellow Avter," has written a new social character story which she entitles "Miss Beecher." It is a more ambitious story than anything she has yet attempted, and is well spoken of by those who have read it. Marcelle Berenger, the most beautiful model of Paris, has declared her intention of posing in the future for none but American artists. In appearance she is a slight, brown-haired, biuc-eyerl slip of a girl, with a faultless figure. Th<: 'chief charm of her face lies in it.-. puzzling contrasts, in the dinij lea lira* come and go with every breath, in tht eyes that never, even in her gayest moments, lose a certain look of appe;: iin^: borrow. "Sh? possesses the eyes ot a Mater Dolorosa and the li^- of a I3ac.eh.ante. She is a beautiful Tsphl h XT' ~ Miss Lombroso, the daughter of the Italian professor,^has written a volume. the title of which is "On the Happines of Women." The. lady has made th< study of a hundred women, married and unmarried, and comes to the conclusion that women generally are happier than men. There are two phases in women's lives the lady believes she has determined—one is that love-making and maternity are the essential and decisive elements of happiness; the other is that moderate means are more oonducive to happiness than riches. The difference between English and American newspaper methods is remarked upon by Richard Harding Davis in the course of an interview printed in the Sketch, of London: "American newspapers are too fond of advertising what they are going to do, and don't make the paper advertise itself. One journal on the other side, which was sending myself and an artist to Cuba, dwelt for weeks on the fact that they'd chartered a steamer for us, eularged on our efforts to cross the gulf, nearly drowned ua, and made us ridiculous. All this nonsense was run to the exclusion of real Cuban news and pictures. What the London Times wants from me is a story to the point, directly about the subject matter; a story which will be read and which will create interest without artificial and irrelevant sensation. That's as it should be." "I was much struck," says Max Mueller in Cosmopolis, "by the extraordinary power of observation of a French friend of mine, who, when in 1855 the queen and the Empress Eugenie entered ^the Grand Opera at Paris together and were received with immense applause, turned to his neighbor, an Englishman, and said: 'Look at the difference between your queen and our empress.' They had both bowed graciously and then sat down. 'Did you not oheerve,' he continued, 'how the empress looked round to see If there was a chair for her before she sat down? But your queen—a born queen—sat down without looking. She knew a chair must be there, as surely as she Is tuoen of England." •Jolm llntwii'n (.rave. The little <'emou?ry at North Elba, N.

At this time of the year a cold is t very easily contracted and if let to run its course without the aid of feome reliable cough medicine is liable to result in that dread disease, pneumonia. We know of no better remedy to cure a cough or cold than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We have used it quite extensively and it has always given entire satisfaction—Ookgah, Ind. Ter. Chief. This is the only remedy that is known to l>e a certain preventive of pneumonia. Among the many thousands who bave used it for colds and la grippe we have never yet learned of a single case having resulted in pneumonia. Persons who have weak lungs or have reason to fear an attack ot pneumonia, should keep the remedy at band. The 25 and 50 cent sizes for bale by F. A. Sigler.

Smyt Gaffe's Curroncy KnvUlon Would Kill th© Republican Tarty. Senator Chandler of Now Humpshire has written a letter to the press in which he says: "If the secretary of the treasury and his single tfold standard associates will cease tlieir demand for impossible currency legislation congress will pass the necessary appropriation bills, probably take care of Hawaii and Cuba, there will not be a serious party division during the session, and there will be an adjournment in May. Business will revive, the treasury receipts will equal the expenditures, the balance of trade will continue in our favor, aud the Republican party will in November, 1898, elect a majority of the house in the Fifty-fifth congress. On the other hand, if Secretary Gage continues to press upon congress a bill, the object of which, he says, is 'first to eommit the county more thoroughly to the gold standard,' and the immediate .effect of which is to throw doubts upon the sincerity of the President's declarations in favor of contiuwd efforts to secure bimetallism; a political turmoil will arise in congress which will split the now united Republicans into fragments, while it will unite and consolidate the now incongruous opposition and result in the defeat of the Republican party in 1900." He also says ''It is uot feasible to retire the greenbacks; there is more probability that a bill will be sent to to the President to increase amount."

Secretary or War Alger is giving mueh atudy to the best means of getting1 in supplies to the miners in the Yukon country, and has decided to ask bids for the delivery of stores directly at Dyea, Skaguay or Chilcat. Secretary Alger's estimate now-4s that no less than 3,000,000 pounds of food stores will be required for the expedition. This makes the transportation problem a very serious one. One question that has engaged the secretary's attention is that of securing the consent of the government for the passage of the relief expeditions over that part of Canadian territory which must necessarily be traversed in reaching the miners. It will be necessary to obtain a permit for a military expedition to pass and also to secure a remission of du tie8 on the supplies that are to be carried in. Secretary Alger is being flooded with applications of men who want to be sent to the relief of the Klondike miners, but he says that no civilians will be sent. The glory will be confined to the United States army. Try Grain-O.

Some critics say that the oxen kicked, being struck with the driver's goad, but my knowledge uf oxen leads me to say that if on a hot day they see a shadow of a tree or wall they are apt to suddenly shy off to get the coolnees of the Bhadow. I think these oxen so suddenly turned that the sacred box seemed about to upset and be thrown to the ground. Uzzah rushed forward and laid hold of the ark to keep it upright. But he had no right to do 30. A special command had been given by the Lord that no one, save the priest, under any circumstances, should touch the bo\. Nervous, and excited, and irreverent, Uzzah disobeyed when he took hold of the ark, and he died as a consequence. In all ages, and never more so than their i in our own day, there are good people all the time afraid that the Holy Bible, which is the second ark of our time, will be upset, and they have j turies been a long while afraid that science, I God. and skeletons of sea animals get there? Did you put them ^here?" But, now, do you not really believe that story about tve storm of Are and brimstone whelming Sodom aud Gomorrah, and enwrapping Lot's wife In such saline encrustations that she halted a sack of salt? For the confirmation of that story the geologist goes to that region, and after trying in vain to take a swim in the lake, so thick with salt he can not swim it—the lake beneath which Sodom and Gomorrah lie buried—one drop of the water so full of sulphur and brimstone that it stings your tongue, aud for hour's you can not get rid of the nauseating drop —the scientist then digging down and finding sulphur on top of sulphur, brimstone on top of brimstone, w.-.iG all round there are Jets, and crags, and peaks of salt, and if one of them 31d not become the sarcophagus of Lot's wife, they show you how a human being might in that tempest have be?n halted and packed into a white monument that would defy the ages. Dut now, you do not really believe that New Testament 8lovy about the earthquake at the time Christ was crucified, do you? (;.'.-).!ogy digs down into Mount Calvary and finds the ro;-u5' ruptured and aslant, showing the work i of an especial earthquake for hat | mountain, and an earthquake which I did not tourli the surrounding region, i Go and look for you/i^lf, and see there j a dip and cleavage of rocks as nowhere I else on the planet, Geology thus 'innouncing an especial earthquake for the greatest tragedy of all the centhe would be taken, and the epistles which Paul dictated to his amanuensis, as well as the one in the apostle's own hand-writing. At the same ratio or archaeological aud geological confirmation of the Scriptures, the time will come when the truth of the Bible will no more be doubted than the common almanac, which tells you the days and the months of the year, and the unbelievers will be accounted harmless lunatics. Forward the telescope and the spectroscope and the chemical batteries, and critically examine the ostracods of the ocean depths and the bones of the great mammals on the gravely hill-topB!

Its power over diphtheria sterna almost miraculous, aa it atopu its spread aa If by raagli;. j GrAiitsbiu't,*, V.'lsconsln, population ] lesa than four hundred, was. visited by ! a terri,blo 'epidemic of diphtheria, dur- ! ing v.hich Ui'ty-three cf its inhabitant* i died in lesa taau fcur weeks.

As sure as the thunderbolts of the Almighty are stronger than the steel pens of agnostics, the ark of God will ride on unhurt, and Uzzah need not fear any disasters upsetting. The apocalyptic angel flying through the midst of heaven, proclaiming-to all nations, and kindred, and people, and tongues the unsearchable riches of Jesus Christ are mightier than the shying off of a yoke of oxen. * * How much the rocks have had to do ( with the cause of God in all ages! In j the wilderness God's Israel were fed 1 with honey out of the rock. How the , rock of Horeb paid Moses back In gushing, rippling, sparkling water for the two stout strokes with which he struck it! And thereastands the rock with name—I guess the longest word in the Bible—sela-hammahlekoth, and and especially geology, would over* throw it. While we are not forbidden to touch the Holy Book, and, on the. contrary, are urged to fondle and study it, any one who is afraid of the overthrow of the Book is greatly offending the Lord with his unbelief. The oxen have not yet been yoked which can upset that ark of the world's salvation. Written by the Lord Almighty, he is going to protect it until its mission is fulfilled, and there shall be no more need of a Bible, because all Its prophesies will have been fulfilled and the human race will have exchange! worlds. A trumpet and a violin -ire very different instruments, but they may be played in perfect accord. So A K«w Gon Boat for the Lake*. Senator McMillan's bill to place a modern gunboat on the Great lakes instead of the antiquated Michigan, has the Bible account of the creation or the world and the geological account are different. One story written on parchment and the other on the rocks, and yet in perfect and eternal accord. The word "day," repeated in the first chapter of Genesis, has thrown into paroxysms of criticism many exegetes. The Hebrew word "Yom" of the Bible means sometimes what we call a day, and sometimes it means ages; it may mean twenty-four hours or a hundred million years. The order of creation as written in the Book of Genesis is the order of creation discovered by geologists' crowbar. So many Uzzahs have been nervously rushing about for fear the strong oxen of scientific discovery would upset the Bible that I went somewhat apprehensively to look into the matter, when I found that the Bible and geology agree in say'.:-.% that first were built the rocks; then the plants greened the earth; then marine creatures were created, from minnow If anything in the history or condition of the earth seemB for the time contradictory of anything in geology, you must remember that geology is all the time correcting itself, and more and more coming to harmonization with the great Book. In the last century the "French Scientific Association" printed a list of eighty theories of geology which had been adopted and afterward rejected. Lyell, the scientist, announced fifty theories of geology that had been believed in and afterwards thrown overboard. Meanwhile the story of the Bible has not changed at all, and if geology has cast out between one and two hundred theories which it once considered established, we can afford to wait until been referred by the Senate committee i to whale; then the wings and throats on naval affairs to the senator himself 0 f aerial choirs were colored and to draft a favorable report. This report will be speedily prepared, aud the the measure will then be reporjted to propriation bill comes over from the House when it will be offered as an amendment, and undoubtedly adopted. The navy department is heartily in favor of the new gunboat T H E MARKETS, runed, and the quadrupeds began to bleat, and^betlow, and neigh.

No. A. great house is to be built. A man takes years to draw to the spot the foundation stone and the heavy timbers. The house is about done, (6kt it is not finished for comfortable residence. Suddenly the owner calls in upholsterers, plumbers, gas fitters, paper hangers, and in one week it 1E ready for occupancy. Now, it requires no stretch of imagination to realize that God could have taken millions of years for the bringing of the rocks and the^ timbers of this world togethj the last theory of geology antagonizj ing divine revelation shall have been j given up. Now, in this discourse upi on the geology of the Bible, or God I among the Rocks, I charge all agitated and affrighted Uzaahs to calm their pulses about the upsetting of the Scriptures. Let me see! For several hundred years the oxen have been jerking the ark this way and that, and pulling it over rough places and trying to stick it in the mud of derision, and kicking^ with all the power of their hoofs against the sharp goads, and trying to pull it into the cool shade away from the heats of retribution from a God "who will by no means clear the guilty." Yet have you not noticed that the Book has never been upset? The only changes made.In it, were by lis learned friends in the revision of the Scriptures. The book of Genesis has been thundered against by the mightiest ..^batteries, yet you cannot today Und in all the earth a copy of the 3ible which has not the fifty chapters of the first copy of the book of Genesis ever printed, starting \p#fch the words, "In the beginning, God," and. closing with Joseph's coffin. Fierce attack on the book of Exodus has been made because they said It was cruel to drown Pharaoh, and the story of Mount Sinai was improbable. But the book of Exodus remains intact, and not one of us, considering t;*e cruelties which he would have continued among the brick kilns of Egypt, would have thrown Pharaoh a plank if we had seen him drowning. And Mount Sinai, is today a pile of tossed and tumbled basalt, recalling the cataclysm of that mountain when the law \ ^ s given. And, as to those Ten Commandments, all Roman law, all German law, all English law, all American law worth anything are squarely founded on them. So mighty assault for centuries has been made on the and the grander, and the deeper and 1 curred, whereas, up to the very hour its use was commenced, not a day, for two weeks, had passed without mm on* to five deaths.

Remember, also, that all up and down the Bible the language of the times was used—common parlance— and it was not always to be taken hterally. Just as we say every day that the world is round, when It is not round. It is spheroidal—flattened at the poles and protuberant at story of the detained sun and moon is an insult to modern astronomy; but that Book of Joshua may be found today in the chapel of e / ^ y university in America, in defiance of any telescope projected from the roof '.>! that university. The Book of Jonah has been the target of ridicule for the small wit of ages; but ther6 it stands, with its»four the equator. Professor Snell, with his j chapters inyiolate, while Geolog;' j>uts chain of triangles, and Professor Varin with the shortened pendulum of his clock, found it was not round; but we dp. not become critical of any one who aayajhe world is round. But you do not really believe that story of the deluge and the sinking of the aouotatpB under the wave? T«U up in its museums remains of sea monsters capable of doing more than the one /Which swallowed the recreant prophet.

But where A are the autumnal forests upholstered in fire, and where are the glorious springtimes, with orchards waving their censers of perfume before the altars of the morning? I do not believe there are any autumns or springtimes." If then a golden eagle, many years old, in a cage nearby, heard the hum of that complaining insect, it might well answer: "O, summer insect of an hour, though your life Is so short you can not see the magnificent turn of the seasons, I can testify as to their reality, for I have seen them roll. When I was young, and before I was imprisoned in this cage, I brushed their gorgeous leafage and their fragrant blossoms with my own wing. You live an hour; I have lived thirty years. But in one of my flights high up, the gate of heaven open for a soul to go in or a seraph to come out, I heard the choirs chanting, "From everlasting to everlasting tbou art God!" And it was an antlphonal in which all heaven responded, "From everlasting to everlasting thou art God." O, man!

Look after the Back: k Fail, a Strain, a Constant Sitting or Stooping Position Brings Backache—Do Ton Know This Means the Kidneys are Affected! How few people realize when their back begins to ache that it is a warning provided by nature to tell you that the kidneys are not working properly. You have a severe fall, you strain yourself lifting or perhaps you are compelled to maintain a ittiug or stooping position for long intervals at a time, your back begins to ache, then your head, you become listless, tired aud weary, but do you understand the leal cause? Wc think not, else you would not use plasters and liniment on the back, which only relieve but do not reach the cause. If you would rid yourself of the pain and core the root of the trouble, at (lie same time save many years of eaffer- \n% and perhaps life itself, you will take a kidney remedy that has been tried and proven that it will cure. Mx. John Robsoin of 661 Russell Street, Detroit, says: "As a result of exposure during, the war I have suffered ever since with rheumatism and kidney trouble. Pains would start in my hip and go around to ray back. Highly colored urine denoted kidney disorder. The pain iu my back was often so bad I had to give up work until the severity of the attack passed away. I have used many liniments and other things, but received very little relief. Some time ago I started using Doan's Kidney Pills and they have worked a wonderful change iu me. My back is alt right now aud I owe it all to the almost magical influence of Doan's J&dney?«&.•* - Mr. RobsoiQ was a member of the .Fifty* first Illinois Regiment, which served through the war with honor and distinction.

Morris, Memphis, Tenn., who saw his wife wasting and weakening and physicians helpless, and then sug. Kited the simple remedy that wrought ecure. He tells the story thus: "Seven years ago, my wife had a severe attack of luug trouble which the phy- •iciaus pronounced consumption. The cough wis extremely distresatug, especially at night, aud was frequently atteuded with the spitting of blood. The doctors being unable to help her. I induced her to try Dr. Ayei's Cherry Pectoral and wail surprised at the great relief it gave. Before usiug one whole bottle she was cured, HO that now she i<i strong and quite healthy. That tlii* roedicin/ saved my wife's life I have not the least doubt. I always keep Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in the house. Whenever any of my family have a cold or cough we use it, and are I promptly cured."—K. Mosais, Uempfci* The question : " la consumption cura» bier" is atill debated, and still debatable. It is easy to say that this was not a case of consumption. Yet the physicians said it was. They should know. As a matter of fact, Dr. Ayer's Cherry PectorM has wrought so many similar cures th„t it seems to argue the curableness of consumption, in its earlier stages, by the u«e of this remedy. There is uo better medicine for pulraouary troubles than Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It gives relief in cases of Asthma, aud Bronchitis, where relief has been heretofore unattainable. It promptly cure* Cough* and Colds, J,a Grippe, and all affections of the throat and lungs. Heretofore, Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral has been put up in full site bottles ouly, at $r.oo«per bottle.

INTERNATIONAL CHAPTER H.—(Continued.) In a moment the tytten, a little, the worse for wear and tear, was safely In her mistress' arms, and a great fuss did she make over It. In the midst of It, Dick Alymer, knowing that his fretful horse was dancing about on the other side of the house, said good" by again and escaped. "And, by Jove!" he skid, as he turned out of the gates, "she does not know my name either. I seem bound to be mysterious today, somehow or other. Evidently she mistook me. for Haines—or, rather, she mistook me for the other in the matter of names. Ah, well, she's going away tomorrow, .and I don't suppose I shall see her again, or that it matters in the least whether she calls me Harris, or Haines, or Alymer," and then he added to the horse, "Get along, old man, will you?" He slackened .the pace, however, when he got to the turn of the road which skirted the sloping meadow in front of the Hall where "she" lived, and the horse crawled up the side of the hill as if it had been an Alpine night instead of a mere bend of the road. But there was no sign of her. As he passed he caught a glimpse of the gay flower-beds and a big tabby cat walking leisurely across the terrace, but Dorothy Strode was not to be seen, and when Richard Aylmer recognized that fact he gave a jerk to the reins and sent the horse flying along in the direction of Colchester as fast as his four good legs would carry him. CUKED BY CHAPTER III. OROTHY STRODE said very little to her auns about the gentleman who had brought her home from Lady Jane's tennis party. Not that she voluntarily kept anything back, but in truth there was very little for her to tell, very little that she could tell.

Yet when Miss Dimisdale came home from Colchester, having been fetched from Wrabness Station in an ancient victoria which had seen better days, drawn by a pair of cobs which, let ase mercifully hope, would never see worse than they enjoyed in sleek comfort at present, she dutifully—ay, and with pleasure—gave her an animated description of the party. How Lady Jane had specially asked for her and had sent her.dear love to her; how sorry she was, and everybody else, that Miss Dimsdale had had to go and see that tiresome lawyer on that particular afternoon; how Lady Jane had told her that her new white frock was exquisite, and that she ought always to wear full sleeves because they became her so well, and finally how there had been one of the officers from Colchester at the party and she had been his partner in several games of tennis, and finally that Lady Jane had sent him to see her safely to the gate. "Our gate, I mean, Auntie," said Dorothy, not wishing to convey a false impression. "And David Stevenson, he wasn't there, I suppose?" said Miss Dimsdale, as she sipped her claret "No: Auntie, he wasn't," Dorothy answered. "Ton see, Lady Jane does not like David Stevenson very much." "I know that," said Miss Dimsdale shortly. On the whole Miss Dimsdale would hare liked Dorothy to marry David Stevenson, who was young and a good enough fellow to make a good husband. He had a well-kept valuable farm of four hundred acres a mile or two from Graveleigh, with a convenient and spacious house thereon, of which he was very anxious to make Dorothy mistress. But Dorothy had, with a strange perversity, said nay over and over again, and she seemed in no desire to change her mind now. Mias Dimsdale gave a sigh as she thought of it —for David Stevenson's. mother had been her dearest friend—bat all the same, she was not the woman to try to force the child's inclination. "Mr. Harris asked me if he might call—if he might come and see me," said DoiothjF presently, after a pause. "Mr. Harris! and who is Mr. Harris?" asked Miss • DlmsAale, startled out of a reverie about David Steven- 's mother, who, by-the-bye, uaoon- - i f i f \ I ASSOCIATION. soiously and dear friend as she was of Marion Dimadale's, had stepped in and married the man of Marion's heart. "Mr. Harris! He is the officer I told you about, Auntie, the .one who brought me home," said Dorothy, in surprise that her aunt should not remember. "Qh, yes—yes. And what did you say?" "1 told him that I thought he might." "And when?" "Oh, I told him to take his chance- Dorothy answered.v "Quite right," said Miss Dimsdale, who had no notion of making the way of a gallant too easy and pleasant to him. "Well, we shall see what he is like when he comes, if we happen to be at home." She began then to tell Dorothy all about her day in Colchester. What the lawyer had said, how she had been to the bank, and looked in at the saddler's to say that the harness of the little cob which ran in the village cart must be overhauled and generally looked to. TJ*©a how she had found time to go in the fancy-work shop and had bought one or two new things in that line, and last of ajl how she had been in to the jeweler's to get a new watch-key and had there seen a wonderful belt of Bilver coins which some one had sold for melting down, and this had been offered to her at such a reasonable price that she had been tempted to bu^ it., "Auntie!" cried Dorothy. "Oh, I did not say it was for you, child," said*Miss Dimsdale promptly. Dorothy's face fell, and Miss Dimsdale laughed. "There, child, there, I won't tease you about it. There it is on the chimney-shelf." And Dorothy naturally enough jumped up and ran to open the box in which the belt was packed, opening It eagerly, and uttering a cry of delight when she saw the beautiful ornament lying within. It was a lovely thing, and in her pleasure and pride at the possession of it Dorothy almost forgot her new admirer, Mr. Harris. Not quite though, for when she slipped it on over her pretty white dress and ran to the pier-glass between the windows of the drawing-room to see the effect of it, she suddenly found herself wondering how he would think oho looked *n 't, and instantly the "Yes," he answered. Then he went scrota where aireadf hla eyef had wandered to JDorethj, who was bravely tewing away to the dusk. "How are you, Dorothy?" he asked. "1 am quite well, thank you, David," the replied, Just letting her hand rest for a moment in his. "I taw you thlt afternoon," he went on, seating himself on a chair Just in front ot-her,-t~> "Why, yet," said Dorothy; "you took your hat off to me," He waa a fine-grown, good-looking fellow, big and atrong and young, with the unmistakable air of a man who it his own master; but in .Dorothy's mind a vision rose up at that moment of another young man, who was also big and strong, and very unlike David Stevenson. David frowned at the remembrance of the afternoon and of her companion, and just then a neat maid servant came in with a lamp, and the dusk vanished. She set the lamp down beside Dor-, othy, so that David Stevenson was enabled to see her face clearly. "If you please, ma'am," said Barbara to her mistress, "Janet Benham has come up to speak to you. She's in great trouble about something." "Janet Benham in trouble?" cried Miss Dimsdale, in dismay. "Oh, I will come at once. Dorothy, stay and talk to David," she added, for Dorothy had made a movement as if she, too, wi\nted to go and hear more about Janet's trouble. <* swift color flashed into her cheeks, so that she hardly liked to turn back to face the gaze of her auut's calm, farseeing eyes. Miss Dimsdale meanwhile had walked to the window, and was looking out into the soft evening dusk. "Some one is coining along the drive." she said. ,"I think it is David Stevenson." A gesture of impatience was Dorothy's answer, a gesture accompanied by an equally impatient sound, but she CHAPTER IV. OWEVER, in Lhe face of her aunt's distinct command, she had no choice but to remain where she was, and she took up the work again and began a-stitchlng vehemently as M she would fain seV< her vexation into the pretty pattern. David Stevenson, on the con&ary, was more than well satisfied at the way in which matters had fallen, and Inwardly blessed that trouble of Janet Benham's as much as Dorothy did the contrary. He jerked his chair an Inch or so nearer to hers, and leaned for? ward with his elbows upon his knees. Dorothy sat up very straight indeed, and kept her attention strictly i;pon her work. "Who was that fellow I saw you diking to this afternoon, Dorothy?" he asked. "A man that Lady Jane asked to see me home," answered Dorothy, promptly. "Oh, you have been to Lady Jantv',1?" in a distinctly modified tone. "Yes, I had been to Lady Jane's," returned Dorothy, mntrhtng a hit of 'Why SOME ONE IS COMING, never thought of making good use <-f her time and escaping out of the room. as a girl brought up In a town might have done. No, she left the glass and went across the room to the tabic where her work-basket stood, and took up an elaborate table-cover which she had been working at in a more or less desultory fashion for six months past, and by the time David Stevenson was shown in she was stitching away as if for dear life. Miss Dimsdale, on the contrary, did not move from the window until she heard the door open, then she went a few steps to meet him. "Qpod evening, David," she said M*ry kindly. "How very nice of you to come in tonight! We have cot seen you for a long time." "No, I've been dreadfully busy," he answered, "and I am still, for the matter of that But I hadn't seen yon for a long time, and I thought I'd come ever and see how you were getiing on.M "That was very good of ycru," said Miss Dimsdale: then she moved to the bell and rang it. "We will have a light; the evenings are closing in very fast*' yellow silk with minute care, didn't yOn go?" "Because I wasn't asked," safd he curtly. "Lady Jane never asks me now —she's taken a dislike to me." "Well, I can't help that," said Dorothy, indifferently. "I don't know so much about that," he said, rather gloomily. "I think you might if you liked. Not that I want you to trouble about it, or that I care a single brass farthing about Lady Jane or her parties. In any case, I should only go because I might meet you there." "Oh, that's a poor enough reason," cried Dorothy, flippantly. There was very little of the mute lover about David Stevenson, and whenever he found that Dorothy waa, in spite of good opportunities, slipping further and further away from him, he always got impatient and angry. "Well I don't know that you're far wrong there," he retorted, in a tone which he tried with the most indifferent success to make cool and slighting. "However, her ladyship has left off asking me to her entertainments of late, and I don't know that I feel any the worse man for that. So you met that fellow there, did you?" "You don't suppose I picked him up on the road, do you?" demanded Dorothy, who was getting angry, too. . D^vid drew in his horns a little. "No, no, of course not," he said soothingly. "I had no right to ask anything about him, only everything you do and everyone you speak to interests me. I wanted to know who he was, that was all." "Then," said Dorothy, with a very dignified air, "you had better go and ask Lady Jane herself. She can tell you, and I am sure she wilL I know very little about the gentleaoan—Just his name and very little besides.** David Stevenson, sat back In his chair with a groan; Dorothy Strode stitched away furiously, and so they sat until Miss Dimsdale came hack again. "H'm," her thoughts ran, "Quarreling again." Dorothy looked up at her aunt and spoke in her softest voice. "What was the matter with Janet, auntieV she asked. (To be continued.)

A young man and a young woman stepped into a drug store on Jefferson avenue, Detroit, and telephoned to Emergency hospital for an ambulanoe to take two wounded persons to the hospital. When it arrived the attending physician was surprised to have die young couple present themselves as the wounded ones. They were apparently quite weak and examination showed that each had a bullet wouud in the head. At the hospital they gave the names of Myrtle Cramer, aged 18, of Grand Ledge, and Edward Travers, aged 23, of Detroit The girl says they •bad spent the night at a rooming house and when they awoke in the morning Travers shot her and then sent a bullet into his own brain. She said she was willing for him to kill her and had submitted to previous attempts under situftar circumstances. Once he had tried to strangle her and another time opened an artery in her wrist The girl had been working in Detroit about <*eo montha She will recover, but Travers will probably die. A Wicked Old Sinner. Michigan and Indiana officers are after a man, aged about 05, who gave the names of George VV. Clark, W. B. Sherman, George La Blanche and W. T. ttrfok. "Clark" is credited by Laporte, Ind., police with having married three women within 60 days, and of • fearing deserted them as soon as he been red all of the money and valuables lie could. The stranger's last conquest was Mrs. Lucy Killara, aged 00, of Kalamazoo. While there he was 'known as William Sherman. They were married after two mouth's acquaintance and he left within a mouth, opting several bills, but taking a big rati of money with him. He dined With her brother in Battle Creek and disappeared, taking a team of horses, a buggy and a lumber wagon, it is alleged, from a feed barn in Battle Creek, and has not been seen since. Sheriff Snow is looking for him. Other al-. leged wives are at Sturgis and Mishawaka, ind. . — _ K/ Another Big Fire In Detroit. Detroit was visited by another disastrous fire that entailed a loss of •130,008 to half a dozen firms. The old Arcade building, 46-50 West Larned street, the scene of half a dozen serious fires in the last 25 years, was found in flames at 11:52 p. m., and before the •/fepa^tment could respond, the structure was enveloped in dames. The basement and the first floor were occupied by W. C. Jupp, paper and printers' supplies; the second floor by Chas. L/. Eoehm & Sons, bookbinders, and the third floor by F. J. Mains, perfume manufacturer. All of these were completely wiped out by'fireV and water. The flames broke through} into the building occupied by the Detroit Free Press Printing Co., the Ilabbin Electrotype Co. and minor concerns. The fifth story was ruined and the rear of the fourth badly damaged while the remainder of the structure and contents were soaked with water. school Teacher* of Wlelftfaiw. $he best convention of the atiohlgan '£eaehers' association ever held was the forty-seventh, which otcapied three days at Lansing. There was a larger attendance by several hundred; than ever before. President Delo* Fall, of Albion college, compared the change of half a century. In 1845 there were 1,314 male and 1,830 female teachers in Michigan, the former receiving an average monthly salary of 911.08 and the latter $5.34. Of the 16,000 teachers reported in 18U5 more than 12,000 were women who received an average salary of 935.09 While the men averaged 946,17. More and better educated women in our schools is now the rule. He also said that attention was beiug paid to the child's body as well as bis mind. He strongly commended the law of 1803 makiug it compulsory .to indicate methous of preventing the spread of communicable diseases. Many subject* wore discussed bearing upon the relations of teachers to pupils, to the general public and to their immediate employers — the school board. The star of the convention was Bishop John H. Vincent, of Chautauqua fame, who addressed a large audience at the First Baptist church. His subject was "Tom aud His Teachers.1' Officers elected: President. .1. W. Simmons, of Owosso; vice-presidents, H. Z. Brook, of Hancock, and J. 11. Kaye, of Cadillac; secretary, M. L. Palmer, of Jackson; treasurer, S. J. Gler, of HillsdaleLexecutiye committee, George W. Loomis, of S t Joseph; A. Gaylord Slocum, of Kalamazoo, and Lucy A. Sloan, of Mt. Pleasant After the completion of the general business (the association divided into sections and discussed matters of nearest interest to the different classes. The presidents elected by the various sections were as follows: College section, D. C. Thomas, of Adrian; High School, S. W. Peavy, of Flint; Mathematical, W. W. Be man, of Ann Arbor; Primary, Miss Martha Sherwood, of Saginaw; Musical, Mrs. Emma A. Thomas, of Detroit; Kindergarten, Miss Clara Mingen, of Detroit," Physi- '-J~cal Culture, Dr. EV M. Mosher, of Ann Arbor. An address by Gov. Pingree, full of good advice and information was well received, and a reception in the state house in the evening was a brilliant event, with as elaborate luncheon spread in the executive office by Gov. Pingree as a surprise, and music by the Albion band and the Boys' Industrial school choir. The State Association of County Commissioners of Schools held the annual meeting at Lansing in connection with the teachers' meeting. A multitude of matters of interest and importance were dicussed.

Harry Dale, whose real name is Thomas Howard, hat, been pardoned unconditionally by Gov. Pingree. This case has attracted more attention throughout the state than probably any other like case. In May. 1896, Dale was sent from Detroit to Jackson state prison for life, after having been tried twice and convicted once on the charge of having assaulted little Maggie Leonard. Almost since the day of his conviction friends of Dale have been working for his pardon. The pardon board held numerous meetings and finally Secretary Tomlinson carried to the governor recommendations from the board that Dale be pardoned. The governor signed the pardon papers and sent them to Jackson. Dale walked from the.prison a free man, and left at once for Topeka, Ks., to join his family. A Civil Service Squabble.

Judge*' Association Meeting. The fifth annual meeting of the Association of Judges of Michigan was held in the supreme court room of the capitol at Lansing. The annual address of President George S. Hosraer, of Detroit, was a review of legislation enacted since the last meeting. The act allowing suits to be brought against any voluntary association of five or more by service on any officer was oommen led upon and commended. Judge Hostner regretted that the divorce law did not allow the bringing in of an absent defendant bv publication only after it became apparent that personal service of an order to appear could not be had. In speaking of class legislation President Hosraer mentioned the sugar beet bounty law and quoted Judge Cooley as against these bounties. The act to prefer ex-soldiers for public employment was considered at great length and it was said that while there are few men who will deny the claims of the soldier to public consideration, yet his claims should be enforced through public opinion, not through legislative action, and it is doubtful whether it is competent for the legislature to direct the local authority beyond requiring peculiar qualifications to insure fitness. ' The program included papers on "A Legal Anomaly," Justice Hooker of the supreme court; "The Pardoning Power and its Limitations," Charles L. Rarden, of Greenville; "Experiences Upon the Bench," Judge E. A. Burlingame, of Grand Rapids. Considerable discussion was caused by a paper by Justice Edward Cahill, of the supreme court, on "The Bench, as Viewed from the Bar." Judge Cahill severely criticised the jury system as a relic of barbarism. He said the corruptibility of jurors was recognized, and jurors have to submit to an espionage which no self-regpecting judge would stand for a day. Men with neither education nor experience for their work are selected by l o t The attorneys do their utmost to befog the jury, and the judge cannot marshal the actual facts for the instruction of has promised erect a! new depot at Port Huron.

He has gone to the length of his constitutional power in calling the state of affairs to the attention of the American people. The department ot state has used all of its authority to mitigate the. conditions there and a letter to the public has been seen o«(t by Secretary Sherman setting for>h the facts and appealing to the people to come to the relief of the distressed people by seuding money, light-weight clothing or food supplies. Women's and children's clothing is most needed and food supplies should be canned goods (condensed milk for children is greatly desired),or other articles not of a perishable nature. Money is needed for medicines, nurses, etc. The Spanish authorities have consented to admit all supplies free of duty and U. S. Consul-General Lee will attend to the distribution. British and Japs Oppose Rusaia. A special dispatch from Shanghai says: It is reported that 17 British warships are off Chemulpo, Korea, southwest of Seoul, supporting the British consul's protest, really amounting to an ultimatum, against the king's practically yielding the government of Korea into the hands of the Russian minister. The protest is specially directed against the dismissal of Mc- Leavy Brown, British adviser to the Korean customs, in favor of a Russian nominee. The news has produced consternation at Seoul, aud is hightened by the knowledge that Japan has a fleet of 30 warships awaiting thi? result of the British representation which Japan fully supports. Japan is irritated by the arrival of Russian troops in Korea and it is believed that she will oppose them. Russia, according to another dispatch from Shanghai, is preparing temporary headquarters for 10,000 troops at Port Arthur. She has obtained a half promise from the grand council at Peking to dismiss Sir Robert Hart, director of Chinese imperial maritime customs, and other high customs officials, in addition to the British railway officials and the German officers and instructors and replace them with Russians. the bars, all for horse stealing. •fee Michigan Sugar Co., at Bay City, Liu.-!-,* \ "*-''•*$'- "'«••* m. aife ck itoav estate it Many farsaers from" have had experience fceets, arc looking for for its beet includes 90 taxes.

The criticism made is that if President McKinley does not openly repudiate his secretary of "Cie treasury he will share with him in the attacks which are sure to come us soon as congress reconvenes. Mr. Gage by his persistence in advocating the gold standard has put the President in more than an equivocal position. It virtually announces to the world that he was not in earnest when he appointed an international bimetallic commission and held views contrary to the very instructions he gave the commissioners. The movement against Secretary Gage is said to be backed by a number of Republican senators who charge that Mr. Gage is not a Republican at heart, and that he is so pronounced in advocacy of the single gold standard that he would sacrifice his party, if necessary, to establish i t The one who more directly feels the interference of Secretary Gage is Senator Wolcott This senator is a free silver advocate, but he stood by the Republican platform in the last election because of the plank advocating international bimetallism. Mr. Wolcott went abroad as one of the commissioners, and labored zealously for an international conference. He is now in such a frame of mind that he may resign from the bimetallic commission. He is only held back because his colleagues assert that Secretary Gage misrepresents the President. Cabinet UjpboUU Civil gervlc* Reform.

"Well, I'll go round and see if you like," David answered; "but Benham's an awful brute, and will drink all he can get hold of to the end of the chapter. I don't know whether you have ever noticed it. Miss Dimsdale. but somehow it seems to me that almost invariably the women prefer to m*rry the wrong men, and vice versa. Look at my o w n mother, for Instance; a sweeter creature did not live, but she was never the right wife for icy father, and nobody knew it better than h i m - self. Yes, and she knew it, too. She always uBed to tell father that w h e n he went from Graveleigh Hall to D o v - ercourt he made the greatest m i s t a k e of his life." "Past Graveleigh Hall, you mean, David,' put in Dorothy, sharply. "I dare say h e knew very well what he was about, and took the one because he could not get the other." "My dears, my dears," cried Miss Dimsdale, to whom all this was untold agony, "let bygones be bygones. I am sure, David, that your father w a s In love with your mother to the very end. Really, the young people of today take too much upon themselves a n d settle the affairs of their elders in a n offhand w a y which is positively indec e n t " There waB a sound of tears in Miss Dimsdale's voice- which went near to betraying that this subject had more than a c o m m o n interest for her. Dorothy recognized dimly that her aunt w a s pained by something that had been said, and never sorry to have a n excuse for finding fault w i t h David, s h e turned sharply upon him. "Really, David," she cried, "it is very dishonorable of you t o come telling us w h a t your mother used to say to your father—it could n e r e r have been meant for us to hear, probably not for you, either. They are both dead, and their mistakes are at a n end. We don't want to know a n y t h i n g about them. F o r m y part, David," s h e went on, severely eyeing the y o u n g man, w h o had turned a fine scarlet hue at her rather pointed remarks, "I must say that I am surprised to find you are capable either of listening o r of tattling about it afterwards.1" H e tried hard to laugh it off as if she had uttered s o m e wonderful joke, but his face w a s burning w i t h shame and anger, too, and as s o o n . a s h e conveniently could he betook himself away. "Dorothy, dear, you are a little hard o n him," said Miss Dimsdale, w i t h a s i g h ; after all, he was h e r old love's son, and h i s mother had been her dearest friend. "Not a t all," said Dorothy, sharply. "David should keep his reminiscences to himself." "I w i s h you liked David better," said Miss Dimsdale, rather wistfully. "So d o I, auntie, for your sake," a n - swered Dorothy. "Ton k n o w I do. But I don't like him at all; ( never did—I never shall. I can't bear h i m . and if David w a s a man," w i t h withering scorn, "he would take BO tor a n a n s w e r and leave me alone." It happened that t w o d a y s later than this our friend Dick Aylmer received a letter, which ran thus: "Your cousin"—there was no affectionate prefix—"Mary Annandale, writes t o m e this morning t o a n - nounce her engagement and approachi n g marriage to Prince Louis Lorinoff — s o there is half a million of money lost t o the family and thrown d e a n o u t of t h e country. I sent wire of congratulation, being too disgusted to w r i t e a letter. With you, you infernal y o a u g Idiot, I haven't got the patience e f a m o o s e I hope you will live to U t t e r l y repeat i t Meantime keep a s * of m y w a y t i n T r e got over it a bit, 'and don't expect a penny beyond your four hnadred a year, because you w o n t t a t I t And If I hear of your marryi n g a n y b o d y andor a hundred t h o t - toaada, 111 oat off your attow- After y o u l n forty we can think It, and y o a need never e x p e c t v a t ? oulekly w i t h yonr nan haws not troubled yoormino. A a d I it o n l y Just to tell you that if I have a chance I shall marry again, In t h e h o p e of having an heir of m y own. Yours. "AYLMBR." P i c k read it and read it again and then tossed it aside with a short laugh. \ "Nice letter to have from one's nearest relative," h e said to* himself. "He'll marry again in the hope of h a v i n g an holr of h i s own. Aye, but her ladyship i i . a s tough as leather and as hard a s nails and she'll take good care he doesn't h a v e that chance, Well, with a l o n g breath that was half a sigh and half o n l y an expression of relief, "so Mary Annandale is going to be the Princess Louis Lorinoff! B y Jove, I don't envy Monsieur le Prince! N o t a bit of it—not even for half a million of money. And I'm to keep out of his w a y . Well, I'll obey that command w i t h all the pleasure in life. And I'm not t o marry before I'm forty— that's w h a t it amounts to practically. Well, I don't know that I mind that very much—do I? A h ! well, I don't s o m u c h know about that—I " and t h e n h e stopped short and fell into a sort of dream, a dream of himself w a l k i n g along a country road and beside him—"and, o h ! damnation," said Dick A y l m e r aloud, "what did the old brute want to write to m e for?" H e struck a match and set fire to the letter; then a sudden thought occurred to hint and he crushed the flame out and locked the letter carefully away in his dispatch box. "I may find that remark about marrying again useful," he said to himself. "Anyway, best to keep It." But though he had locked the letter a w a y he could not put the thoughts of It a w a y from him as easily. Indeed, it kept coming back to him again and again, particularly that one unpalatable sentence about him waiting till he was forty before he need expect his uncle to hear of his marrying under a certain amount of dower with the bride. N o w , Dick Aylmer was utterly Ignorant of the circumstances in which the little girl of his dream was placed. She might have a dower, it might be large or small, he did not k n o w ; and on the other hand, It was more than likely that she had not so m u c h as a penny in the world. Somehow, although he had never been within the precincts of Graveleigh Hall, he had an idea that it was a place without much money b e h i n d - t t . T r u e , the beds in front of the house were gay with flowers and the house was large and of a certain appearance. But the hedges which skirted the sloping meadow were none too well kept; the entrance gates needed a coat of paint badly, and had apparently got well used to the necessity; the drive was not very well kept, Mtftaiattla w*k S E T F I R E TO T H E LETTER, and altogether he fancied that Dorothy Strode's dower would be but a thing of small importance compared with his uncle's idea of what Dick's wife ought to be possessed of. N o w , I may as well say here that Dick Alymer had made up his mind to marry the little girl of his dream. It m i g h t be sooner o r it m i g h t be later, but he meant to do it all the same. If he could get her sooner—why, he would; and if he oooid not get her a s soon a s h e wanted her w h y , he would have to wait; but aa for w a i t i n g till bis savage old uncle c h o s e t o s a y "yea or nay"—why, the idea w a s s i m p l y preposteroam, a n d Dick p a t i t aside a t once a s a contingency which ooaM not be 4sos»ftdered for a m o m e n t After a n , h i s marriage was h i s business, h i s a a d a o b o d y else's o n ate aide; h e saeaat t o aaarry t o please htametf, a a d a t e a n c l e ooaM g o to the deuce tf h e liked.

Lord Aylmer w a s absolutely powerless t o leave o n e stick or s t o n e a w a y f r o m him—the property must g o w i t h t h e title to the heir w h o was t o follow him. A couple of days went by, and Dick Aylmer had almost forgotten b i s u n - cle's letter in the pleasure of anticipation, and by the time he turned out of the barrack gates, bound for Graveleigh Hall to make his formal call upon Dorothy Strode's aunt, h o w a s in as gay and lightsome a mood a s he h a d ever been in in all his life. And, o h ! by Jove, he reminded himself that h e had forgotten, or more correctly h e had never known, what the old lady's n a m e was. Dorothy had called her "auntie," and he had naturally said "your aunt," and he had come away without knowing w h a t her name and State were, whether she was wife, widow or maid: However, he did not let t h a t trouble him much, and h e drove gayly along between the sweet wild hedgerows,feeling as if the soft September air, just tempered with a breeze off the sea* was air of an Arcadian land, and such objectionable persons as aristocratic relations did not exist in all the world. And then when he reached Graveleigh, the long straggling village street w i t h its quaint old-world shops and its odd little postofflce, he pulled up the good horse and stopped to make inquiries. "Can you tell me where Graveleigh Hall is?" he asked of a respectable woman. "Why, yes, sir—you do g o along that road and take the first turn t o the right and then yo do come to it," s h e replied. "Ah, thanks. By-the-bye, w h a t is the n a m e of the lady w h o lives there?" he asked, carelessly. "Miss Dimsdale, she do live at the Hall," the woman replied. "And Miss Dorothy, she do live with her." "Thank yon very much," said Dick, pleasantly. The good w o m a n watched him as he drove along. "Another of 'em after Miss Dorothy," she said to herself. And Dick drove gaily along, getting more and more light hearted a s h e went; for w a s he not getting nearer and nearer with every stride of old Derby's legs t o her? B a t he did not get to the hall w i t h o u t being further watched. Scarce w a s he past the end. of the village before he met David S t e - venson, wearing the light clothes and gaiters of a country gentleman who looks after h i s own scowled at him murderously) Dick neither s a w ate black looks, and drove on, a schoolboy a t the hedges aa" "Brutal interloper!"

If your majesty would but taste that, then, indeed, you would be pleased." "Possibly," said the king, "but why did you not produce this sjpdal brew today?" "That wine," replied the municipal magnate, "we keep tor none but great occasion*," King Humbert's comment i» not recorded. Signor Crispi, the former premier of Italy, a man whose name has been closely and painfully connected with the Bank of Naples scandals, is one of the most superstitious men in a land where superstition reigns, The ex-premier has a wholesome dread of the supposedly fatal influence of the "evil eye," and invariably carries about bis person an amulet charm, made of ccral and horn-shaped. This peculiar product of art and superstition is supposed by the vast majority of Italians to act as a specific against the "evil eye," and, consequently, Crispi never fails to clutch his amulet when threatened by an enemy. There was once witnessed a delicious episode in the Italian parliament bearing on these facts. In the course of a heated and somewhat virulent debate, Signor Cavalottl, one of Crispi's most inveterate adversaries, rose from his seat- with the apparent intention of attacking the great minister. The latter, however, was equal to the occasion, and, crying, "Come on; I defy you!" waved the coral curio in the faoe of his speedily abashed adversary. Needless to say", an otherwise turbulent scene terminated in general hilarity. M«tf«nal Lot*.. January J7, Barritt Hamilton, "The American B o y " Don't fail to bear this lecture.

Parricide Is considered only one degree less culpable than treason, and la punished as a crime of the deepest dye. such a violation of the ties of nature being held to be evidence of the most unprincipled depravity. Any-person convicted of a design t o kill his or her parents or ancestors, whether a blow be struck or not, is liable to suffer death by being beheaded. If tbe murder is actually committed, all the parties concerned therein, whether principals or accessories, If related to the dai-eased as above mentioned, sulfer death in a slow and palnnannfiu being cut Into a thousand pieces. If the criminal dies in prison an execution similar in mode takee place on his body. Murder In all cases is punished by decapitation. When committed with the design of afterward mangling the) body and distributing the limbs of the deceased for magical purposes, not only Is the offender executed, but all the i n - mates of his house, although Innocent of the crime, are perpetually banished. Persons giving information by which such offenders are brought to justice race ive a reward of twenty ounces of silver from the government. All persons rearing venomous animals, or preparing diugs of a poisonous nature, for the purpose of murder, are beheaded; their property confiscated, and family banished, even if no person Is actually killed by such means. The use of abusive language is very sternly repressed, especially if the o * fended person happens to be the husband or ancestor of the offender. The code says: "Opprobrious and insulting language, having naturally a tendency to produce quarrels and affrays, this book of laws expressly provides for i t s prevention and punishment."—Green j Ba«.

ANDREWS, Publisher* f » •• i • • PINOKNKY, MICHIGAA There mutt he larger bird*. Th» women went them for their bonnets. The clergyman who married a cootie In a Hone' den took care to remain outaide during the ceremony. He hadn't the blood of the late Mr. Danlei in his veins, and he had no desire to go to judgment. A couple lately sought fame by being married in a cage with two lions at a "soo." The same day a free wo- »an married a convict in a prison cell, and a giggling couple mounted a stove which became theirs at the close of the feremony. When one reads of these, >nd also of mock marriages between Jiny children at charity fairs, one bet* ter comprehends the growing levltj With which solemn ceremonies are in* tested. The bulk of England's great ocean :onnage is made up of what is known as "tramp steamers"—stanch, but slow freight carriers, economical in maintenance, which seek, cargoes wherever they are to be found. There may be much significance in the announcement that the first American steamer of this character is under construction with the Bath Iron works of Bath, Me. This vessel is for a New York house. It lis to be completed next May, and will at once compete with the foreign "tramp" steamers. It would seem that one of the chief cares of schools and colleges would be that students should learn to speak correctly. The mental drill that accompanies the study of language is invaluable. Of course, it is easy to say that there are many things in life more Important than correct speaking. This la true, but as a nation we are old enough to have acquired not merely the essentials, but some of the graces as wen. In other words, it is time we were "adding to our common schooling evidences of culture. And one of the moat indisputable of these is correct speech. a The Queen Regent of Spain has pardoned the Americans who were taken from the schooner Competitor in April, 1896, aa she was engaged in landing a military expedition on the Cuban coast. These men, Including the captain, mate and steward of the schooner and a newspaper correspondent, were tried by court martial soon after their capture and sentenged^ to death. The United States government intervened to secure for them a trial by the civil courts, in accordance wlth'ouFfreal with Spain. The cases were the subject of protracted diplomatic corre- •pondence and of several debates in congress. The course of Spain, in setting die men free, removes one of the mast serious causes of irritation between the two countries. Last year the girls in a school in Brook line, Mass., took lessons in bread and cake making, while the boys learned carpentry and carving. This 'year the girls are making wooden tables and chairs, but the boys, one day each week, are taught to make coffee, to boil cereals, to broil steaks, to fry and scrambled eggs, and to make omelets. One boy, while admitting that the failures were many, remarked that cooking was much nicer than sawing boards or hammering nails, "Cos you can walk around and talk and taste all the things." Whatever that cooking elass may do for the boys, the lessons in carpentry will do much for the girls if they teach them to hammer in a nail without pounding a finger nail or splitting the board, and to set a screw and saw a board without becoming nervous. A United States report on Austria aa a grain-producing country says: From statistics It la evident that a marked chance has occurred' during the last few year* aa regards the grain situation in Austria-Hungary. Not only in the case of wheat, but also in that of the various other cereals, the tendency has been towards a larger hoane consumption of the national product and a consequent reduction of the surplus available for shipment to other lands. To such an extent have the exports declined and the imports increased that most of the cereals are now brought into the country in larger ejnantities than they are exported. Barley is the only grain of which any considerable amount continues to be shipped abroad. In respect to other - cereals, the status of the Monarchy la apparel Uy that of transition from an exporting into an importless country. While it.is hardly to so eape**i*d that these changed conditions wl» to any considerable extent create an enlarged demand for American cereals, the facts set forth are certainly of uuaereet as indicating the lessened Imnmnnmcs af Austria-Hungary among the enuncrie* with which the United Sta*** Is ohUg ed to compete is thn •***» ananu a# the world. •asi m&m = TAIMAGJS'S B] j la* i t the coral it its long continued accumulation.

HY do you say that, Inspired dramatist? When you wanted to set forth the superior value of our religion, you tossed aside the onyx, which la used for making exquisite cameos, and the sapphire, sky-blue, and topai of rhombic prism, And the ruby of froaen blood, and here you say that the coral, which Is a miracle of shape and a transport of color to thoBe who have studied it, is not worthy of mention in comparison with our holy religion. "No mention shall be made of coral." At Saint Johnsbury, V u in a museum built by the chief citicen, as I examined a specimen on the shelf, I first realised what a holy of holies God can build and has built in the temple of one piece of coral. I do not wonder that Ernst Heckel, the great scientist, while in Ceylon, was so entranced with the specimens which some Cingalese divers had brought up for his inspection that he himself plunged into the sea, and went clear under the waves at the risk of his life, again, and again, and again, that he might know more of the coral, the beauty of which he indicates cannot even be guessed by those who have only seen it above water, and after the polyps, which are its Bculptors, and architects, have died and the chief glories of these submarine flowers have expired. Job, in my text, did not mean to depreciate this divine sculpture in the coral reefs along the sea coasts. No one can afford to depreciate these white palaces of the deep, built under God's direction. He never changes his plans for the building of the islands and shores; and for uncounted thousands of years the coral gardens, and the coral castles, and the coral battlements go on and up. I charge you that you will please God and please yourself if you will go into the minute examination of the corals—their foundations, their pinnacles, their aisles, their pillars, their curves, their cleavages, their reticulation, their grouping—families of them, towns of them, cities of them, and continents of them. Indeed, you rAn tint. apprftHftto the meaning of my text unless you know something of the coral. Labyrinthlan, stellar, columnar, floral, dented like shields from battle, spotted like leopards, embroidered like lace, hung like upholsterytwilight and auroras and sunbursts of beauty! Prom deep crimson to milkwhite are its colors. You may find this work of God through the animalcules eighty fathoms down, or amid the breakers, where the sea dashes the wildest, and beats the mightiest, and bellows the loudest. Nothing so impresses me with the fact that our God loves the beautiful. The most beautiful coral of the world never comes to human observation. Sunrises and sunsets he hangs up for nations to look at; he may green the grass, and round the dew into peart, and set on fire autumnal foliage to please mortal sight, but those thousands of miles of coral achievement I think he has had built for his own delight In those galleries he alone can walk. The music of those keys, played on by the fingers of the wave, he.only can hear. The snow of that white and the bloom of that crimson he alone can see. Having gamitured this world to please the human race, and lifted a glorious heaven to please the angelic intelligences, I am glad that he has planted these gardens of the deep to please himself. Bat here and there God allows specimens of submarine glory to be brought up and set before us for sublime contemplation. While I speak, these great nations of zoophytes, meandrinas and madrepores, with tentacle* for trowel, are building just such coral as we find in our text The diamond may be more rare, the crystal may be more sparkling, the chrysoprase may be more ablaze, but the coral ia the lone deep, everlasting blush of the sen. Yet Job, who understood all kinds of precious stones, declares that the beauty and value of the coral are nothing compared with our holy religlasa^nd picks up this coralline form&Hi nad 1 looks at it, and flings *• SM^mki^l all the other beautiful ever heard of, and cries of admiration for the superior qu lties of our religion: "No mention shall he made of coral." Take my hand, and we wifl walk through this bower of the sea, while I show you that even exquisite coral is nut worthy of being compared with the richer jewels of a Christian s e n t The first thing that strikes me an sssnttherc axe reefs hundreds of fait deep and one thousand miles long. Who hum these reefs, these islands? The toophytea, the corallines. They were net such workers who built the pyramids aa were these masons, these creatures of the sea; What small creations amounting to what vast aggregation? Who can estimate the ages between the time when the madrepores laid the foundationa of the islands and- the time when the madrepores put on the capstone of a completed work? It pussies all the scientists to guess through how many years the corallines were building the Sandwich and Society Islands and the Marshall and Gilbert groups. But more slowly and wonderfully accumulative is grace In the heart You sometimes get discouraged because the upbuilding by the soul does not go on more rapidly. Why, you have all eternity to oulld in! The little annoyances of life are soophyte builders, and there will be small layer on top of small layer, and fossilised grief on the top of fossilised grief. Grace does not go up rapidly in your soul, but, blessed be God, it goes up. Ten thousand million ages will not finish you. You will never be finished. On forever! Up forever! Out of the sea of earthly disquietude will gradually rise the reefs, the islands, the continents, the hemispheres of grandeur and glory. Men talk as though in this life we only had time to build; but what we build in this life, as compared with what we shall build in the next life, is as a striped shell to Australia. You go Into an architect's study and there you Bee the sketch of a temple, the cornerstone of which has not yet been laid. O, that I could have an architectural sketch of what you will be after eternity has wrought upon you! What pillars of strength! What altars of supernal worship! What pinnacles thrusting their glittering spikes into the sun that never sets! You do not scold the corallines because they cannot build an island in a day. Why should you scold yourself because you cannot complete a temple of holiness for the heart in this short lifetime? You tell me we do not amount to much now, but try us after a thousand million ages of hallelujah. Let us hear the angels chant for a million centuries. Give us an eternity with God, and then see If we do not amount to something. More slowly and marvelously accumulative is the grace in the soul than anything I can think of. "No mention shall be made of coral." Again, I take your hand, and we walk on through this- garden of the sea and look more particularly than we did at the beautyoOSe coral. The poets have all been fascinated with it. One of them wrote: "There, with a broad and easy motion, The fan coral sweeps through the clear deep sea, And the yellow and scarlet tufts of the ocean Are bent like corn on the uplanl lea." One specimen of coral U called the dendrophilia, because it is like a tree; another is called the astrara,-^ecause it is like a star; another is called the brain coral, because it is like the convolutions of the human brain; another is called the fan coral, because it is like the instrument with which you cool yourself on a hot day; another specimen is called the organ pipe coral, because it resembles the king of musical instrument. All the flowers and all the shrubs in the gardens of the land have their correspondencies in this garden of the sea. Corallum! It is a synomym for beauty. And yet there is no beauty in the coral compared with our religion. It gives physiognomic beauty. It does not change the features; it doefa not give features with which the person was not originally endowed, but 1* * i its behind the features of the honulkst person a heaven that shines' cleur through. So that often, on first acquaintance, you said of a man: "He is the homeliest person I ever saw/' when, after you come to understand him and his nobility of soul shining through his countenance, you said: "He is the loveliest person I ever saw." No one ever had a homely Christian mother. Whatever the world may have thought of her, there were *.wo who thought well—your father, who had admired her for fifty years, and you, over whom Bhe bent with so many tender niini8trations. When yon think of the angels of God, and your mother* among them, she outshines them all. ;|bat our young people could un- -that so much beautifies the as the religion r.f ;es everything ul. Slcktment beauutrfut. I ssase pour hand again, and walk a little fnethcr on in this garden of the sen, nad I notice the durabi*«ty of the «f the coral.

Corals are changing the navigation of the sea, saying to the commerce of the world, "Take this channel;" 'take this channel;" "avoid the other channel." Animalcules beating back the Atlantic and the Pacific seas! If the insects of the ocean have built a reef a thousand miles long.who knows but that they may yet build a reef 3,000 miles long, and thus, that by one stone bridge, Europe shall be united with this continent on one side, and by another stone bridge Asia will be united with this continent on the other side; and the tourist of the world, without the turn of a steamer's wheel, or the spread of a ship's sail, may go all around the world, and thus be fulfilled the prophesy, "There shall be no more sea." But the durability of^ the coral's work is not at all to be compared with the durability of our work for God. The coral is going to crumble in the fires of the last day, but our work for God will endure forever,. No more discouraged man ever lived than Beethoven, the great musical composer. Unmercifully criticized by brother artists, and his music sometimes rejected. Deaf for twenty-five years, and forced, on his way to Vienna, to beg food and* lodging at a plain house by the roadside. In the evening the family opened a musical instrument and played and sang with great enthusiasm; and one of the numbers they rendered was so emotional that tears ran down their cheeks while they sang" and played. Beethoven, sitting In the room, too deaf to hear the singing, was curious to know what was the music that ao overpowered them^and when they got through he reached up and took che folio in his hand and found it was his own music—Beethoven'8 Symphony in A—and he cried out, "I wrote that!" The household sat and stood abashed to find that their poor-looking guest was the great composer. But he never left that house alive. A fever seized him that night, and no relief could be afforded, and in a few days he diad. But just before expiring he took the hand of his nephew, who had been sent for and arrived, saying, "After all, Hummel, I must have had some talent." Poor Beethoven! HIB work still lives, and in the twentieth century will be better appreciated than H was in the nineteenth; and as long HI there is on earth an orchestra to play or an oratorio to sing, Beethoven's nine symphonies will be the enchantment of nations.

"I—I see It looks like it," faltered the young author, glancing at the volume that lay on the table In front of the terrible editor.—Chicago Tribune. remarkable aboTTFyou—only a mother trying to rear your family for useful-• ness and heaven. Yet the song with which you sing your child to sleep will never cease its mission. You will grow old and die. That son will pass out into the world. The song with which you Bang him to sleep last night will go with him while he lives, a conscious or unconscious restraint and inspiration here, and may help open to him the gate of a glorious and triumphant hereafter. The lullabies of this century will sing through all the centuries. The humblest good accomplished in time will last through eternity. I sometimes get discouraged, as I suppose you do, at the vastneas of the work and at how little we are doing. And yet, do you suppose the rhizopod said, "There is no need of my working! I can not build the Cordilleras." Do you supposeJhje madrepore said: "There is no need of my working; I can not build the Sandwich Islands." Each one attended to his own business; and there are the Sandwich Islands, and there are the Cordilleras. Ah, my friends, the redemption of this world is a great enterprise. I did not see it start; I will not in this world see its close. I am only an insect as compared with the great work to be done, but yet I must do my part. Little things decide great things. All that tremendous career of the last Napoleon hanging on the hand of a brakeman who, on one of our American railways, caught him as he was falling between the cars of a flying train. The battle of Dunbar was decided against the Scotch because their matches had given out. Aggregations of little things that pull down or build up.

On the docks of the Sagiuaw Salt «fc Lumber Co., at Crow island, three mile* down the river from Saginaw, 8,000,000 feat of lumber were burned, causing a loss of about 9120,000. The docks held about 10,000,000 feet and a iur^e quautity of lumber was piled in the mill yard, which the flames did not reach. The mill and salt block were saved with difficulty. The docks and one drill house wore destroyed. About three-fourths of the loss will be covered by insurance. A watchman discovered the flames at midnight. The origin is unknown, but it is thought skaters dropped matches or started a fire to warm themselves. One fire engine company from Saginaw aud two from Bav City, besides the CarrolIton compauy, reached the scene in about two hours, but in the meautime pail brigades were organized and worked heroically towards keeping the flames from crossing to the mill yard. The wind was not strpng and blew favorably, sending the brands over the river, instead of towards the millions of feet of material and the mills directly in the rear. Several firemen had narrow escapes from being caught in the blazing piles. The company had a 812,000 fire at the same place last April. Two Violent Deaths at Monroe. Two fatal railroad accidents occurred at Monroe in one day. Eli Cooley, a well-known character, was struck by a Michigan Cen tral train and was so badly mangled' that death resulted shortly afterwards. His right arm and limb were severed close to the trunk and his head badly bruised. He was about 55 years old and leaves a widow and a large family of children in poor circumstances. The other unfortunate was J. Smith, of Detroit. He was found dead in the yard of James Roberts. The supposition is that he was riding on a freight train and either fell off while asleep or jumped off and received a severe injury which disabled him and he crawled to this house, which was but a few feet from the track bo get assistance. No one was at home and the man was unable to gain from exposure. Later developments in the case of Jos. Smith, of Detroit gives color to. the suspicion that he was robbed and murdered, and such was the finding of the coroner's jury. A Wicked Old Sinner.

Treasury officials have dismissed Deputy Collectors Piaster and Muir, of Port Huron, for alleged violation of the civil service law in contributing to a political fund.

Cheors Turued to Oroent. After a warm election at London, Out,, a large crowd gathered in the city hall to listen to speeches from the successful candidates, which has long been the local custom. About 2,500 people had crowded their way into the room and there was considerable enthusiasm, which was suddenly interrupted by one of the most terrible calamities in the history of the city. Wrhile a speaker was being applauded a section of the floor in front of tho platform for hhe speakers and immediately above the city engineer's office gave way without warning and fully 100 persons were tumbled into a sort of funnel shaped trap which proved to be a death-trap for over one-fourth of them, for an immense safe and a heavy steam coil, weighing half a ton, toppled over into the hole crushing at least 30 to death and injuring nearly all of the others. Although the platform on which the speakers were standing was apparently the first thing to give away, the mayor-elect and many alderman escaped the death that overtook so many others who followed them into the lower portion of the building. Following the crash there was a wild rush for the doors. At the south door where the majority of the crowd had entered, there was a terrible panic. Those in front were thrown down by the oncoming rush, shrieking and fighting for the doors and safety. Only one-half of the rear door, a space probably of three feet, was open, and in the mad rush no one thought to open the door in its entirety, and jOO people struggled through the narrow space, the strong bearing down the weaker. An investigation of the wreck after the catastrophe disclosed the fact that a whole section of the floor had dropped, the joists having been as neatly cut off as though the work had been done with a saw. The building was an old one, having been erected in the early 50'sr and 6t late years additional stories ha4 been placed on the old walls. Later.:—Careful investigation Shows that several who were reported dead are still living and will recover from their injuries. The death list numbered just 25 persons. Is Secretarj Sherman About to Resign. The story that Secretary of State Sherman is about to resign, the reasou now alleged—being his enfeebled condition, making it impossible, after a long public career, to give further service to the country, and recognizing the necessity of giving way to a more active man to cope with the numerous important foreign affairs which now confront the United States. It is pointed out that if we annex Hawaii there are certain treaties now existing between that republic and Japan which will have to be declared void in the interests of our manufactures, and on the other hand if the European powers dismember the Chinese empire we shall have to demand that similar treaties which we have with China shall be continued in force. The ticklish part of the business for the McKinley administration is that if China is seized and Hawaii annexed we shall have to deny to Japan the very thing that we shall demand of those who take Ghina. There is no denying that the President will need a secretary of state a good deal younger and more acute than Mr. Sherman to ENGLISH FIRED ON R U S S I A N S . Triable DetwiajaLtbe Cfclna Grabbers— OtherVeUste»w*J»ew* London: A sensation has been caused by,a rumor from ?tjmouth that the k English* admiral h a s fred on a Russian man-of-war in Chinese waters. Nothing la Ijnown as ty . t h ^ jumor at the foreign office or the admiralty. The London papers publish also the statement that England is pressing China to declare Port Arthur a free port It is supposed that the presence of British warships there is intended to insure freedom of access for trading vessels. It is reported that China has given consent to Russian surveys for a rail way to Port Arthur as i\ branch of tho Russian Trans-Manchuria railway, and not a mere extension of the Chinese Tien-Tain railway. Tho arrangements with Russia for the guarantee loan are actively proceeding, and when completed the Russians on the plea of supervising the collection of the land tux, will obtain the right to enter every yamen in the empire. It is otllcially uunounced from St, Petersburg that M. Kuril Alexeiff has been intrusted with full powers to "promote the development of the commercial relations between Russia and Korea, in competition with British and Japanese influences ahd to aid in furthering tho prompt construction of the projected orthodox church at Seoul." M. Alexin8 is the representative of Russia who was placed in charge of the Korean customs after McLeavy Brown, the British representative, had been removed from the position at the instigation of the Russian government. This practically gives Russia supervision of the Korean finances.

Here is another testimony to the truth of this statement: "X formerly suffered from indigestion and weakness of the stomach, but since X began the use of Dr. J. C.

E was strongly tempted to rush off home and dress himself and go off to the Hall after Dick, but he resisted the temptation wuU a hopeless feeling that he would gain nothing by it, that he would only vex himself by the sight of the other fellow philandering after the girl he had loved all his life. "She'll find him out after a bit," he said to himself, "and then she'll know how to value a man who meanB every word—ay, and more than .every word—that he 3ays." In the meantime Dick Aylmer went on and turned in at the hospitably open gate of Graveleigh Hall, with the assured air of one who knows beforehand what, his welcome would be. "Is Miss Dimsdale at home?" he asked of Barbara, who came to the door in answer to his knock. "I am not sure, sir," Barbara answered. "But she may be in the garden— I'll find out, sir, in a minute." She disappeared again, -leaving him there, and then a man ran out from i h e s i d e - o f the house,- to take the horse's head; and before Barbara appeared again, Dick heard a light footstep on the gravel, and Dorothy herself, wearing a blue dress and a white sailor hat, came into sight. "Oh! Mr. Harris/' she cried, in such a joyous tone that Dick's heart fairly thumped in response. "I had no idea that you were here. I wonder how it was I did not hear the wheels. Come and be introduced to my aunt; she Is here, round this shrubbery—we always sit Here in the hot weather; the sight of the sea helps to keep one cool. Auntie," she continued, not giving him time to say a word, "this is Mr. Harris, whom I met at Lady Jane's, who brought me home that day, you know;" then, turning to Dick, she said, "This is my aunt, Miss Dimsdale." I am very pleased to see you, Mr. Harris," said Miss Dimsdale, holding out her hand in a frank and gracious welcome.

Thirty years ago I had nervous prostration while in the army, where I served for over four years. I think it was during this service that the seeds were sown which have caused all my trouble. Severe bilious attacks bothered me, and at such times my kidneys were worse. It is almost impossible to describe the pain which so often lamed me. I have been so lame that to stand up after f had been sitting down required a great exertion. Walking was at times an impossibility, even at night I did not rest, being forced to get up during the night I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and wondered if they could make an almost lame man weft. I got some, and soon after taking them began to feel their good effects. I used them for some time, my lameness all left me and I have not felt it since. Doan's Kidney Pills have done me an inestimable amount of good." For sale by all dealers, price 60 cents.

"somewhat stiff manners of the last generation, or, I might say, of the first half of the century, but in her own house she was always more genial than. in any other place, and Dick Aylmer shook hands with her and felt—well, that a very fate was following him in his acquaintance with Dorothy Strode, for here he was again forced, as it were, to be known as Harris, when all the time his real same was Aylmer, and how was he to tell the old lady that some one or other had made a mistake—that is, without giving himself the look of an ixnposter? Like lightning there flashed through his mind an idea that if Lady Jane had mistaken him for somebody else, she had really no guarantee of bis respectability, and with equal rapidity there shot through his brain a remembrance of his uncle's letter, his uncle's threats and bis uncle's unyielding, unbeodable—yes, I must be honest, and finish up the sentence as Dick thought it—his uncle's unyielding, unbendable, devil of a temper. And so. and crop when you go to call at houses?" Dorothy Inquired demurely, and with a saucy twinkle in her eye. "No, I don't," he replied with a laugh. "But I have known what it was to have a decided cold shoulder, and I didn't want to find It here." "And you have not. I think Auntie has been particularly nice to you," she said, as she opened the door leading into the stable. Dick put his hand out to open the door also, and in doing so just touched hers. "I think," said he, in a dangerously tender tone, which would greatly have enlightened • Miss Dimsdale, "that she is a delightful woman; she is fit to be your aunt;" and then Dorothy laughed a little, and pushed the door open. "See, this is my Lorna Doone," she said, going into the nearest stall, and showing him a ball of white fluff coiled up in a deep bed of hay. "Isn't she lovely?" Dick Aylmer groaned within himself; he had fallen from a paradise of tenderness to the comparative personality of a cat—commonplace even though it was a Persian cat which bore the name of Lorna Doone, and she loved it. It was a beautiful eat without doubt, afld it turned its head back at the sight of Dorothy, and purred loudly, and with evident satisfaction. "I want to know just what you think of her," said Dorothy to Dick— "truly and honestly. Don't flatter me about her. Lorna and I don't like flattery—we want to know the. truth about ourselves—the brutal truth if you will, but truth at any price. Now what do you think of her?" "I can't see her properly," answered Dick. "Lorna dearie, get up and show yourself off," said Dorothy to the cat; then finding that the great white Persian did not move, she turned her out of her bed, and took the four kits into her own lap. • "I think she is lovely," said Dick. "Isn't she an enormous size?" "Immense," Dorothy answered, "and a great beauty too." By this time Dick had begun to tickle Lorna Doone's ear, and that j g d y bftgaJi tn roapnnH aftnr ftrtn mnnner of cats when they are not shy— that is to say, she had put her two forepaws upon his knee as he sat on the bed of hay, and was vigorously • .

Harris. In behavior he was very judicious; he talked more to the aunt than to the niece, although bis eyes followed her wherever she went in a way which told Miss Dimsdale all too plainly what had brought him there. But, judging by his serene and sober conversation with Miss Dimsdatle, you might have thought that Dick was I sixty instead of sdx-and-twenty, and Miss Dimsdale was charmed with him. "Such a thoughtful, sensible fellow," she said to herself as she watched him presently go across the lawn with Dorothy to see her Persian kittens, just at that time the very pride and Joy of her heart. Ay, but men were deceivers ever, sometimes quite unconscious though it be. At that moment Dick was saying to, Dorothy, "And I thought the week would never get over—the very longest week I ever lived." "Then why didn't you come before?" she asked, with innocent audacity. "Ootne before! But you said that I wasnt to come till this weak," he answered. "Besides, I dWnt know—I wasn't sure that I mightn't get bundled out neck and crop wfcea I did] come.

Sometimes I wish that it was different; but old trees, you know," with a smile, "are difficult to transplant." "And Miss Dorothy does not look as if she found life at Graveleigh insupportable," said Dick, with delicate flattery. "No; Dorothy is a good girl," Miss Dimsdale replied in a tender undertone, and then she gave a little sigh which set Dick wondering what it could mean. Well, after this it very soon became an established custom that Dick should find his way over to Graveleigh at least twice in eve'ry week, and sometimes Miss Dimsdale asked him to stay to share their dinner, for she was a woman of very hospitable nature, though she was quiet and somewhat stiff in manner, and a little oldfashioned in her ideas. And although David Stevenson had all her wishes on his^side, she really grew to like Dick thT better of the two, for Dick was gentle and kind in his manner to each and all alike, content to let hie wooing do itself—if the truth between you and me be told, happy in the present, and a little inclined to leave the future to be as long the future as might be because of the terrible old uncle in the background. Then, too, there was always present in his mind the knowledge that, sooner or later, he would have to make a clean breast of his identity to Miss Dimsdale and to . Dorothy, and to cast himself upon their mercy as regards the deception which had really been no fault of his, and to persuade them to consent to a secret marriage. And whenever poor Dick reached this point in his reflections, he invariably gave a groan of utter despair, for he had a dreadful foreboding that never, never would Dorothy's aunt give even the most reluctant consent to anything of the kind. So the sweet autumn days skipped _ WASTE YOUR LOVE ON A CAT. rubbing her cheeks, first one side and over—September died and October was born, lived its alloted time, and in turn passed away, and wintry November came in. The last tinted leaves fell from the trees of the great,oaks and horse chestnuts, and the tall poplars which shrouded the hall were now but gaunt and shivering skeletons, only a memory of their old luxuriance and I glory. But to Dorothy Strode the bare and leafless trees were more beautiful than they were either in their summer gowns of green or in all the manybthsd loveliness of their "*rm«ii frocks, for to Dorothy all tne world was lighted and beautined by the warmth and fire of radiant love—better to her the leafless branches of November with love than the fairest blooms of springtime into which love had not yet come. During this autumn she had seen but little of her old admirer, David Stevenson. He had gone to the Hall once or twice after he knew that "the man from Colchester" had become a frequent visitor there—gone with a savage asserti* t .of his rights as an old friend and a Ufa-long intimate of then the other, against his hand. "She has taken to you," cried Dorothy gladly. "Of course she has; Lorna Doone knows a good thing when she sees it," he answered, laughing. "Besides, why shouldn't she take to me?" "Some people don't like oats," said Dorothy, "especially men." She had not forgotten how, the very last time he was in the house, David Stevenson had kicked her favorite out of his w&y, not brutally or to hurt her—for David, whatever his faults, was not a brute—'but because he was so jealous of Dorothy that he could not endure to see her care for anything. "How can you waste your love on a brute of a cat?" he had burst out, when Dorothy had caught up Lorna and held her to her cheek. "Some men bate cats—a man who comes here sometimes loathes her," she said to Dick, and Dick knew by a sort of instinct who the "some one" "Ob, some men are cross-grained enough for anything," he said goodnaturedly— he could afford to be goodnatured, for he had realised what this glri's real feelings for "some one" were. "For my part, I must say I've got a liking for a eat, hut I should baldly class a beauty like this with ordinary cats. She is not only a beautar ta took at, but ahe is evidently afssetfeaate, aed—and—and she's yours, know." T h e tea is waiting. Miss Dorothy," the house. But when he found that Miss Dimsdale had, as he put it, "gone over to the enemy," he gave up even that much intercourse, and gave all his energies to his farming, content, as he told himself, to bide hie time. At last about the middle of November when half the officers of the regiment were on leave, and soldiering and Colchester alike were as flat and dull as ditch water, Dick Aylmer got into his dog-cart and turned the horse's head toward the big gates. "Hullo, Ddckr called out a brother officer to him, "where are you going?** "Oh, a drive," returned Dick promptly. , "Oh, a drive;" repeated the other, noting the evasion instantly—trust a soldier for that. "Got any room for a fellow?" "Take you as far as the town ff you like," said Dick good-naturedlj. "No, never mind," answered the othtr. "I'll walk down with Snocks presently."' "Didn't want a lift, you know,** he explained io Snooks, who hi polite society was known as Lord William Veryl, "but I did want to and out where old Dick was going.

MUNSON -I Mr. Chairman and Ladies and Gentleman: When I urged upon your secretary the propriety of giving you a "One Day Institute," it was from pure good will, hoping for you something far better than I can give you and trusting to arouse in you such an interest as should result in a larger attendance on the County Institute which comes later and it was only on his urgent appeal that I consented to appear before yon. I have always had a jjreat respect for the people of Pinckney. Coming north from Dexter 41 years ago through the woods and over the Portage when it was not at its best, a glimpse of your beautiful village was reassuring. I have reason for diffidence in coming before a gatheiing of farmers from this vicinity. When, in verance and intellect of the German, the devotion to prinoiple of the Puritan and the bull-dog determination and euergy of the English, we have a conglomeration which ought to produce an ideal American—let us then look well to environment.

He was also interested in horses, but the only thing he knew about them was to see them go. To the farmer he urged them to be united, as in the 16th century the people were united so as to be a power back of the throne. The Lord must love the farmer for there were so many of them and they1 must be respected.

Two policemen in Boston are hard at work trying to prevent the students of a medical school and those of a young ladies' seminary from looking at each other. The schools are close together and the students are let out at the same time every day. If the plan worked the young persons would be less or more than human. It won't.

The German minister demanded his release and a payment of fifty thousand dollars indemnity. The man was set free, but Hayti is unwilling to pay indemnity. Germany threatened to send a cruiser to press her claim; at the remonstrance of our government she abandoned her purpose. The gluttony of the people who flock to public receptions in Washington with less decorum than is usually preserved in front of the barkeeper's walnut has provoked retaliation. The ladies of the cabinet announce that refreshments will no longer be served. The households of the cabinet members will no longer be embraced In a free lunch route. Thus will end scenes which have been a disgrace to the capital of the country for a great many years and an intolerable nuisance will be abolished. The diabolical assassination of William Terrlss, the distinguished British actor, by a worthless crank with a homicidal mania, brings up before us again and in a most urgent form the question of dealing with this class of pests. There is no law for punishing or even locking up a crank, no matter how dangerous he may notoriously be. Justice waits until he commits murder, and then offers to society the beggardly reparation of the gallows. The j e r i l is one which the individual must meet for himself. Government avenges him only after he has been slain and hie family desolated. .? Yonder is a beautiful village homestead. The man of the house is dead, and his widow is taking charge of the premises. This is the widow, Martha of Bethany. Yes, I will show you also the pet of the household. This la Mary, the younger sister, with a book under her arm, and her face having no appearance of anxiety or care. Company has come. Christ stands outside the door, and, of course, there is a good deal of excitement inside the door. The disarranged furniture is hastily put aside, and the hair is brushed back, and the dresses are adjusted as well as, in so short a time, Mary and Martha can attend to these matters. They did not keep Christ standing at the door until they were newly apparelled, or until they had elaborately arranged their tresses, then coming out with their affected surprise as though they had not heard the two or three previous knockings, saying: "Why, is that you?" No. They were ladies, and were always presentable, although they may not have^ always had on their best, for none of us always has on our best; if we did, our best would not be worth having on. They throw open the door, and greet Christ. They say: "Good-morning, did not come alone; He had a group of friends with him, and such an influx of city visitors would throw any country home into perturbation. I suppose also the walk from the city had been a good appetizer. The kitchen department that day WAS a very important department, and I .suppose that Martha had no sooner greeted the guests than she fled to that room. Mary had no worriment about household affairs. She had full confidence that Martha could get up the best dinner in Bethany. She seems to say: "Now let us have a division of labor, -Martha, you ^cook, and I'll sit down and be good." So you have often seen a great difference between two sisters. There is Martha, hard-working, painstaking, a good manager, ever inventive of some new pastry, or discovering something in the art of cookery and housekeeping. There is Mary, also fond of conversation, literary, so engaged in deep questions of ethics she has no time to attend to the questions of household welfare. It Is noon. Mary is in the parlor with Christ. Martha is in the kitchen. It would life is a struggle, and who, at thirty night in a diphtheritic room forth* reyear, of age, Took as though they were lief of a patient, became saturated wit h fMo rt..y. , anSTd a' .t *fo_r_t.y.. ,l ooki„ „a„s ttYhtomuifgfhh tha nnlann a n d di ed.

You go out to the cemetery and you will see that the tombstones all read beauthe poison and died, we all we would like to put garlands on his grave; everybody appreciates that. When, in the burning hotel at St. Louis, a young man on the fifth story broke open the door of the room where his mother was sleeping, and plunged in amid smoke and fire, crying, "Mother, where are you?" and never came tifully poetic; but if those tombstones | out, our hearts applauded that young thousands of i man. But how few of us have tho The postal authorities are properly paying attention to a class of advertisements that has appeared too frequently in some periodicals of late. The advertiser promises to give valuable prices to persons sending him accurate solutions of a collection of "puzzles," of which the subjoined is a fair sample: "Supply the missing letters in the following name of an important New England city—B-st-n." It is said .that the people have been swindled out of a sum of money large in ' the aggregate through this transparent fraud. Periodicals will henceforth publish such advertisements at the risk of being excluded from the malls. A short cut to notoriety has been effected by a woman of Paris who con trlbuted and collected ten thousand francs toward the Guy de Maupassant monument, recently unveiled in the Pare Monceau, on the condition that her own portrait be introduced. The ludicrous result, the figure of a fashionably dressed woman reclining in a long chair at the foot of a bust of the poet, is characterized by a writer in a London newspaper as "an advertisement in marble for some leading dressmaker." Human vanity takes many forms and some persons choose to bask in the world's gaze, even at the expense of self-respect or of life itself. have been better if they had divided the work, and then they could have divided the opportunity of listening to Jesus; but Mary monopolizes Christ, while Martha swelters at the fire. It was a very Important thing that they should have a good dinner that day. Christ was hungry, and he did not often have a luxurious entertainment. Alas me! if the duty had devolved upon Mary, what a repast that would have been! But something went wrong in the kitchen. Perhaps the fire would not burn, or the bread would not bake, or Martha scalded her hand, or something was burned black that ought to have been made brown; and Martha lost her patience, and forgetting the proprieties of the occasion, with besweated brow, and perhaps with pitcher in one hand and tongs in the other, she rushes out of the kitchen lnto the presence—of—Christ,—saying: would speak the truth, them would aay: "Here lies a woman killed by too much mending, and sewing, aud baking, and scrubbing, and scouring; the weapon with which she was slain was a broom, or a sewing machine, or a ladle." You think, 0 man of the world! that you have all the cares and anxieties. If the cares and anxieties of the household should come upon you for one week, you would be fit for the insane asylum. The halfrested housekeeper arises in the morning, he must have the morning repast prepared at an irrevocable hour. What if the fire will not iight; what if the marketing did not come; what if the clock has stopped—no matter, she must have the morning repast at an irrevocable hour. Then the children must be got off to school. What if their garments are torn; what if they do not know their lessons; what? If they have lost a hat or sash—they must be ready. Then you have all the diet of the day, and perhaps of several days, to plan; but what if the butcher has sent meat unmastlcable, or the grocer has sent articles of food adulterated, and what if some piece of silver be gone, or some favorite chalice be cracked, or the roof leak, or the plumbing fail, or any one of a thousand things occur—you must be ready, pring weather comes, and there must be a revolution in the fambe ready. Spring weather comes, and you must shut out the northern blast; but what If the moth has preceded you to the chest; what if, during the year, the child^n have outgrown the apparel of last year; what if the fashions have changed. Your house must be an apothecary's shop; it must be a dispensary; there must be medicines for all sorts of ailments—something to loosen the eroup, something to cool the burn, something to poultice the inflammation, something to silence the jumping tooth, something to soothe the earache. You must be in ualf a dozen places at the same time, or you must attempt to be. If, under all this wear and tear of Hf>, Martha, makes an im- Chrlstllke spirit—a willingness to suffer for others! A rough teacher in a school called upon a poor, half starved lad who had offended against the laws of the school and said, "Take off your coat, directly, sir." The boy refused to take it off, whereupon the teachar said again, "Take off your coat, sir," as he swung the whip through the air. The boy refused. It was not because he was afraid of the lash—he was used to that at home—but it was from shame—he had no undergarment^ and as at the third command he pull 3d slowly off his coat, there went a sob through the school. They saw then why he did not want to remove his coat, and they saw the shoulder blad23 had almost cut through the skin, ami a stout, healthy boy rose up and went to the teacher of the school and said: "Oh, sir, please don't hurt this poor reliow; whip" me] fiee^ he*s nothring but a poor chap; don't hurt him. he's poor; whip me." "Well," said the teacher, "it's going to be a severe whipping; I am willing to take you as a substitute." "Well," said the boy, "I don't care; you whip me, if you will let this poor fellow go." The fstout, healthy boy took the scourging without an outcry. "Bravo!" says every man—"Bravo!" How many of us ar^o willing to take the scourging, and the suffering, and the toil, and the anxiety for the people! Beautiful things to admire, but how little we have of that Bpirit! God give us that selfdenying spirit, so that whether we are in humble spheres or in conspiciir ous spheres we may perform our whole duty—for this struggle will soon bo over. One of the most affecting reminiscences of my mother is my remembrance of her as a Christian housekeeper. She worked very hard, aud when we would come in from summer play, and sit down at the table at noon, I remember how she used to come in with beads of perspiration along the line of erav hair, and how sometimes T H E CURRENCY COM M l d » I Q N ' t ) Beport Embodied la a Bill l«t*»duee6 In th« House of Bepveeent»tlvee> Rgp. Ovuratr^et, of Indiana, has introduced in the House a eomprehenj «ive bill for carrying out the plan of the monetary commission for the reform of the currency. The bill was referred by Speaker Reed to tho committee on banking, and Chairman Walker has arranged to give early hearings to Senator Ednnnds, the chairman of the commission, and perhaps to other members. The bill contains forty-aeveri~sectlons and embodies in legislative form every feature of the recommendations of the commission. The earlier portion relating to the maintenance of the gold standard, the creation of the bureau of issue and redemption, and the gradual retirement of the legaltender notes are embodied in the bill In almost the same language as in the report. The section dealing with the guaranty fund is as follows: "That every national banking association shall at all times keep and have on deposit with the division,of issue and redemption for the purpose hereinafter specified a sum in gold coin equal to 5 per centum of its outstanding circulation. Tho amounts so kept on deposit shall constitute a fund to be known as 'the bank-note guaranty fund.' " The provision for the assessment of the tax upon the circulation above the authorized limit is as follows: "That every national banking association shall pay on or before the last day of every month to the division of issue and redemption a duty imposed.* at the rate of 2 per cent per annum upon Two farmers were once discussing their local paper. One thought it had too many advertisements in it. The other replied: "In my opinion the advertisements are far from being the least valuable part of it. I look them over carefully and save at least five times the cost of the paper each week through the business advantages I get from them," said the other: "I believe you are right—I know that they pay me well and rather think it is not good taste to find fault with the advertisements after all. It pays any man with a family to take a good local paper for the afcke of the advertisements if nothing more? And if business men fail to give farmers a' chance to read advertisements in the local paper, they are blind to their own Interests, to say the least of It "You never trade with me/' said a business man to a prosperous farmer. "You have never invited me to your place of business and I never go where I am not invited; I gjftjfct not be welcome," was his reply. "Lord, dost Thou notv care that my sister hath left me to serve alone?" Christ scolded not a word. If it were scolding, I should rather have his scolding than anybody else's blessing. There was nothing acerb. He knew Martha had almost worked herself to death to get him something to eat, and so he throws a world of tenderness into his intonation as he seems to say: "My dear woman, do not worry; let the dinner go; sit down on this ottoman beside Mary, your younger sister. Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things, but one thing is needful." As Martha throws open that kitchen door I look in and see a great many household perplexities and" anxieties. First, there is the trial of non-appreciation. That is what made Martha so mad with Mary. The younger sister had no estimate of her older sister's fatigues. As now, men bothered with the anxieties of the store, and office, and shop, or coming from the StockExchange, say when they get home: "Oh, you ought to be in our factory a little while; you ought to have to manage eight, or ten, or twenty subordinates, and then you would know what trouble and anxiety are*" Oh, sir, the wife and the mother has to conduct at the same time a university, a clothing establishment, a restaurant, a laundry, a library, while she is health officer, police, and president of her realm* She must do a thousand things, and do them well, in order to keep thing! going smoothly; and so her brain and her nerves are taxed to the utmost. I know there are housekeepers who patient rush upon the library or drawing- rooifl, be patient, be Lenlenfl Oh, woman, though I may fall to stir up an appreciation in the souls of others in regard to your household toils, let me assure you, from the kindliness with which Jesus Christ met Martha, that he appreciates all your work from garret to cellar; and that the God of Deborah, and Hannah, and Abigail, and Grandmother Lois, and Elizabeth Fry, and Hannah More is the God o.f the housekeeper! Jesus was never married, that he might be the especial friend and confidant of a whole world of troubled womanhood. I blunder; Christ was married. The Bible says that the Church is the Lamb's wife, and that makes me know that all Christian women have a right to go to Chrlat and tell him of their annoyances and troubles, since by his oath -of-cimjugal fidelity he is sworn to sympathize. George Herbert, the Christian poot, wrote two or three verses Qn this subject: "The servant by this clause Makes drudgery divine: Who sweeps a room, as for Thy laws, Makes this the action fine." A young woman of brilliant education and prosperous circumstances was called down-stairs to help in the kitchen in the absence of the servants. Th« door-bell (Tinging, she went to open it and foundNa gentleman friend, wtfb said as he came in: "I thought I heard music; was it on this piano or on this harp?" She answered: "No; I was playing on a grid-iron, with frying-pan accompaniment. The servanfs are gone, and I am learning how to do this work." Well done! When will women in all circles find out that it is honorable to do anything that ought to be Jone? • • • How great are the responsibilities of housekeepers! Sometimes an indigestible article of food, by its effect upon a king, has overthrown an empire. A distinguished statistician says* of one thousand unmarried men there arc thirty-eight criminals, and of one thousand married men only eighteen are criminals. What a suggestion of home influences! Let the most bf made of them. Housekeepers by the food they provide, by the couches they spread, by the books they introduce, by the influences they bring around their home, are deciding the physical, intellectual, moral, eternal destiny of the she would sit down at the table and put her head against her wrinkled hand and say, "Well, the fact ia, I'm too tired to eat." Long after she might have delegated this duty to others, she would not be satisfied unless she attended to the matter herself. In fact we all preferred to have her do so, for somehow things tasted better when she prepared them. Some time ago, in an express train, I shot past that old homestead. I looked out of the window, and tried to peer through the darkness. While I was doing so, one of my old schoolmates, whom I had not seen for many years, tapped me on the shoulder, and said, "De Witt, I see you are looking out at the scenes of your boyhood." "Oh, yes," I replied, "I was looking out at the old place where my mother lived and died." That night, in the cars, the whole scene came back to me.—There was the average daily amount of its circulating notes outstanding in excess of l>0 per centum of its capital stock, and not in excess of 80 per centum of such «apital stock." Section 34' of the bill provides for redemption of notes in multiples of 11,000 in lawful money, upon presentation at the treasury or subtreasuries designated for redemption purposes, but it is provided that "nothing in (this act contained shall bq construed to impose upon the United States any liability for thsV redemption of the notes of any national banking association beyond the proper application of the redemption and guaranty funds deposited with the. division of issue and redemption, and the enforcement of the remedies by this act provided." Section 37 authorizes the establishment of banks with a capital of |25,- 000 in towns not exceeding 4,000 inhabitants, and section 38 declares "that It shall be lawful for any national banking association to establish branches under such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the comptroller of the currency, with the approval of the secretary of the the country home. There was the noonday table.. There were the children on either side of the table, most of them gone never to come back. At one end of the table, my father, with a smile that never left his countenance even when he lay in his coffin. It was an eighty-four years' smile—not the smile of Inanition, but of Christian courage and of Chrjstian hope. At the other end of the table was a beautiful, benignant, hard-working, aged Christian housekeeper, my mother. She was very tired. I am glad she has so good a place to rest in. "Blessed • are the dead who die in the Lord; they rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." • treasury." Section 41 provides for at least two examinations of national banks each year, for the rotation of examiners and for fixed salaries for examiners. The amount of the salaries is to be collected by assessments upon the banks. Provision is made for the entry of state banks into the new system. M I S C E L L A N E O U S .

Tbe opening session of the Ohio state legislature w a s marked by t h e first battle for the U. 8. senator ship to succeed Hon. M. A. Hanna, who, as is known to all, JH the principal candidate. The revolt against the chairman of the national Republican committee— which became so apparent in the state election last November—came boldly to the front in the organizing of the legislature. The Hanna candidate for speaker of the house was Alexander Uoxwell, against whom the antis—led by Gov. Dushnell, Mayor McKisson, of Cleveland, and Hon. Chas. L. Kurtz—put up Rep. H. C. Mason. In the hall cf the house the wildest scenes were witnessed during the first hour of the session. All of the 10'J members were in their seats. As the ballot proceeded there were loud cheers as the doubtful members responded to their names, and when the roll call approached the close and Mason secured the necessary majority, there was a long demonstration that delayed the official announcement of the vote. The ballot resulted: Mason 5ti, Boxwell 52. The antl-Hanna combine then completed the organization of the house, electing John P. Griffith speaker pro tern, and Chas. H. Gerrish chief clerk. The remainder of the preliminary business was trans* acted without much trouble. In the senate the Hanna Republicans felt sore. One of the first things to be considered was the appointment of a joint committee on arrangements for the inauguration of the governor. When this joint resolution came up in the senate, the Hanna Republican senators declined to vote on account of the4r-opposi ti on-te-Gov-r-Btwrmeth—The" resolution was adopted by the Democratic side of the senate chamber, assisted by Senators Shepard and Weightman, Republicans, and Senator Voigt; fusionist. This action of the senate caused quite a stir about the state house. In the senate the combine controlled everything on all votes, but no test votes were taken in the house after the organization was completed. The feeling .that had been engendered in the preliminary conference waa shown in all roll-calls. The feeling on the Republicans sides of both houses was intense. Senator Garfield was clerk of the senate till it was organized, and he was very emphatic in his utterances. The result of the organization of the legislature again revived the rumors that the Hanna men would now combine with the gold Democrats for the election of Calvin S. Brice as a gold 'standard man, rather than have Bushnell and McKisson elected for the long and short terms as silver Republicans. This is denied by Hanna men, however, who claim that there are yet battles to be fought and won and they felt that by the tim_' for holding the joint senatorial oauou»u» and the joint balloting for senator the voice of the Republicans throujrhout the state rising in protest itgainst the combine would cause cnouarh of the opposition to come over to the Hanna standard to insure his re-election to the senate. They at once carried the war into the home counties of the '"bolters."' While the battle wages fiercely there are charges and countercharges from the opposing factions. The most sensational, probably, was the charge Of attempts of the Hannaites to bribe three legislators—two Democrats and one Republican—to vote for Hanna and it was alleged that the Franklin county jury would investigate. Rep. Griffith, of Union county, created a sensation by deserting the Hanna ranks alleging that his wife had been insulted by Mr. Hanna's lieutenants. It is alleged that Griffith has been threatened with violence by his townspeople. The sixtieth anniversary of the pope's first cele bration of mass was observed at the Vatican.

X N , Pinkham Counaela Young- Wivet to Kooop fbeir AttractiT«a«o» A I*ett«r From.» Young Wife. Couldn't Be Fooled Twice. There Is a fox terrier of remarkable Intelligence installed as ruling factor in a very happy and harmonious household up-town. One qJy the favorite amusements of the terrier Is playing with a. soft rubber ball. The other day a member of the family filled the soft j ball with water. The terrier pounced I upon the ball, chewed down on it, squirted the water down his throat and dropped the ball. After repeated efforts he emptied the ball of water and enjoyed his play. The next day he again found the ball full of water and for a while seemed very disconsolate as he gazed sadly at the toy. He left it for a few minutes and then, rushing at the ball, deliberately stepped upon it with one of his front feet and stood upon it until the water was all squeezed out. Since then no water has been put in the ball.—New Orleans Times- Democrat. In Olden Times People overlooked the importance of permanently beneficial effects and were satisfied with transient action; but now that it is generally known that Syrnp ~6T Figs will permanenty overcome habitual constipation, well-informed people will not buy other laxatives, which act for a time, but finally injure the system.

What a disappointment then to see tbe ioir young wife's beauty Jading away before a year s passes over her head I 1 leel as if I would like to say to every young woman who is about to be married— "Strengthen yourself i n advance, so that you will not break down under the new I •train on your powers." Keep your beauty, • it is a precious possession I Your husband loves your beauty, he" is proud to be seen in public with you; try to keep it for his sake, and your own. The pale cheeks, the dark shadows under tbe eyes, the general drooping of the young wife's form, what do they mean ? They mean that her nerves are failing, that her strength is going and that something* must be done to help her through the coming trials of maternity. Build her up at once by a course of some tonic with specific powers. Such as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound- Yon can get i t at any druggist's. / Following we publish by request a letter from a young wife^—of her own ae» cord she addresses it to her "suffering sisters," and while from modesty she asks t o withhold her name, she gives her initials and street number i n Cbambersburg, Pa., so she can easily be found personally or by letter: To my Suffering Sisters:—Let me write this for your benefit, telling you what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I am b u t nineteen and suffered with painful menstruation, leucorrhoea, dizziness, burning sensation back of ears and on top of my head, nervousness, pain and soreness of muscles, bearing-dowu pains, could not sleep well, was unable to stand without pain, and oh! how I longed to be well! One day I wrote to Mrs.- Pinkham telling her all, knowing I could do so in perfect confidence. She wrote me a lovely letter in reply, telling me exactly what _to do. ~Aftertafcing nine bottles of the Compound, one box of Liver pills, and using one-half package of Sanative wash, I can say I am cured I am so happy, and owe my happiness to none other than Mrs. Pinkham.

Pingree and Hli Lieutenant* Hold a Conference on the {Jueatlon of Calling * • Kxtr» Session of Legislature —Well-Known Editor Dead. Will There be a Special Session? A lengthy conference of Gov. Pingree's intimate political friends from all parte of the state was held at the governor's home at Detroit to discuss a number of matters of importance to the conferees and the state in general. The matter of greatest moment, however, was the question of the advisability of calling a special session of the state legislature to consider railroad taxation and other subjects. It is a question in the public mind whether or not it was decided to call a special session. Before the close of the conference it was agreed that whatever iuformation there was to be furnished as to the result of the deliberations should be sriveu out by Gov. Pingree himself. Thereupon the governor informed the reporters that the matter was still undecided. This did not satisfy and it is said that some of the conferees stated positively that a special session would be called about Feb. 1, although a number of those present very strenuously opposed it. Their argument was that nothing would be accomplished toward reducing railroad fares, and that the governor's administrataion would then be —blamed all over the state for aaddl upon the community the expense of the extra session, without bringing about any reforms. The governor, however, had prepared statistics to prove that the special session would not cost more than 815,000 and that it might be the means of adding at least $500,000 to the state's annual revenue. This he argued was a mighty good return for the investment. It is the governor's idea to devote the session to not more than two measures— one to establish a uniform system of taxation for all quasi-public corporations, and for all property if possible, and the other to enact a law Establishing a straight 2-cent rate of fare on the railroads of the state. The bills have already been outlined, nothing remaining to do but to hammer them into shape. The extra session advocates used to good advantage the argument that ' there being no local legislation to be considered there would be no occasion for trading votes and consequently the line would be plaiuly drawn between those who want "reform" and those who do not. Others 61 the conferees cTalm thai the special session idea was defeated, but say that it was decided instead to institute a campaign for a reform legislature that will inaugurate the multitude of Pingree reforms next winter. The campaign will start at once and conclude with the election next November. T uiy • - U4J' Michigan Millers Will A)d Cuban*. The Michigan Millers' association in session at Lansing voted to send a carload of flour to the starving Cubans. In his address President Win. N. Rower of Grand Rapids, congratulated the members upon the improved conditions., of business. He predicted an increased demand for Michigan milling products, basing his prediction upon the light, stocks of flour, the strong foreign demand, and the fact that both in acreage and condition a big crop of wheat is promised this year for the state. He deplored the fact that flour in some states is being adulterated with corn meal and corn starch, and said that the association must put its foot upon the iniquitous practice, and, if neccessary, secure the enactment of laws against i t Secretary Hanshue reported that the association has shipped outside the state during the year just closed 461,028 barrels of flour and 14,503 tons of feed. On this basis the millers of the state, it was said, have shipped 1,250,000 barrels of flour during the year. Twentytwo new members have been received into the association, making a total membership of 125. The following officers were elected: President, Win, N. Rowe, of Grand Rapids; vice-president, G. F. Alliuendinger, of Ann Arbor; secretary-treasurer, J. J. Ilanshue, of Lansing; executive committee, Ev Chappel, of Belding; W. H. Deubel, of Ypsilanti, and R. J. Hamilton, of White Pigeon. Several important papers were read and addresses made by members of the association and visitors, among the latter being U. S. Senator Burrows and Railroad Commissioner Wessellius.

Sugar Beet* and Coil Cause a Boom. Saginaw and Bay counties are apparently on the merge of a boom such as has not been known since the palmiest days of the lumber industry. The finding of what are evidently vast beds of coal in both counties has lead to scores of test holes being put down in all directions and it is said that there have been no disappointments thus far. This is causing companies to be formed for the purpose mining the coal on a large scale and one Saginaw company has secured leases of over 1.000 acres of promising territory, and one expert miner from Ohio has advised the capitalists to lease 25,000 aeiesthe coal sharks get ahold on it. In fact operators from Ohio and Pennsylvania are already investigating preparatory to taking up large leases. The J. H. Somers Coal Co. of Cleveland, which handles 4,000,000 tons annually in Ohio, has secured a large tract of land near St. Charles and is putting down a shaft The Monitor and other mines about Kawkawlin, Bay county, which have been good pcoducers, have shown the greM worth of the finds there and prices on land have advanced considerable. The result of experiments in sugar beet culture and the plans to erect a large factory at Esserxville, a Bay City suburb, has also caused the farmers to feel good-natured. Essexville property has taken a big jump in value. — — « > — • — JLet Michigan Help Relieve the Cntmaa. Gov. Pingree has received a telegram dated from New York, signed by Stephens M.

Murk Ilauna Elected V. H. Senator. Th.e Ohio state legislature has 'finished a battle which attracted the at- -.te ii I ion of tile whole nation, iu the election of Hon. Marcus A. lianna as United States senator for both the short and long terms. There was much uncertainty as to the outcome of the contest down to the moment of taking tlie votes ^in the senate and house and in the joint session. The two weeks preceding had been a season of hard work for Hanua's friends and tor his enemies, and each day brought forth its sensations, with charges and countercharges, and the result was an exceedingly close vote. When the vote was taken in the senate and house-separately Mr. Hanna had 10 votes in senate against 17 for Mayor McKisson, of Cleveland, upon whom the Anti-Hannaites united, while in the house the vote stood Hanna 50; McKisson 40; Wiley 1; Warner 1; Lenz 1, and one absent. This gave Hanna 73, a majority of one over all in a total membership of 109 sion Hanna received the same vote, 73: McKisson 70. Lenz 1, absent one. The ballot stood the same for both the short and long terms D O i N Q S OP CONORKS9. A Parajrtaphto Chronicle of tbe Acta of 'ir ;the 2qstloala>0£kwmakers.

The secretary of the treasury has sent to congress deficiency estimates of appropriations for the current fiscal year and for prior years*,' tai' th> several department, aggregating 819,007 and for the postal service aggregating $¢70,750 payable from the postal revenues. ' Senators Thurston, Carterand White, constituting the sub - committee on Alaska of the Senate cominittee-ou territories, have decided to recommend that the territory be given three judges instead of one and that the judges be authorized to appoint United States commissioners. A delegate to congress may .also be recommended. Rep. Howe, of New York, lias introduced a civil service bill designed to protect war veterans in the government service. Jt gives preference to honorubly discharged soldiers and sailors in appointment, retention and promotion in all departments and branches. Physical impairment, not in fact incapacity, will not disqualify if they shall have business capacity for the office, and pensioners employed at a salary of 81,201) a year or over are to surrender pensions while employed. The debate in the House on civil service continued one week and ended without a vote being taken which would show that anything had been accomplished by the lengthy windjamming contest. The House then passed the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation—bill and—the agricultural appropriation bills were reported. The Senate committee on judiciary received a great mauy protests against the confirmation of Attorney-General McKenna a^ a member of the U. S. supreme court bench.

Senator Chandler had a conference with President McKinley upon the subject of bimetallism and he said after the close of-the interview: ''The President stands firmly in favor of International bimetallism as promised by the St. Louis platform. He considers the negotiations with the European powers only temporarily suspended on account of the peculiar condition of affairs in India, and it is the P resident's intention to again send his envoys to Europe as soon as the conditions are In the joint ses-4 favorable for continuing negotiations."' Senator Chandler added the opinion that the President is as earnestly in favor of 'bimetallism—"the use of both metals—as, standard i^nnfty'Uan H I P The most sensational event of the two QfcYs' session on which the balloting occurred was an attempt of the anti-Hannaites to force an investigation of the charges of bribery made against the Hahna workers, but it was voted down. senator himself.

Leaders of the various parties advocating the free coinage of silver met in conference at Washington in the committee room of Senator Jones, oi Arkansas, chairman of the Democratic j cated three other Seminoies and squads national committee, and there were present in addition to Senator Jones, Senator Butler, of North Carolina, chairman of the national committee of the Populist party; Hon.

Yet when he drew up In front of the Hall It struck him that there was something strange about the place. For one thing, the usual neat and well-kept gravel was cut up, and in one place the low box-hedge which skirted the now empty flower beds was cut and crushed as if a careless driver had driven over it. * He was not long left in doubt. Old Adam came to take his horse and led him off to the stable, shaking his head with ominous sadness, and muttering something indistinctly .about a bad job; and then Barbara opened the door with scared, white face, and quivering lips which could not command themselves sufficiently to tell him anything. •'GoodGod, what is ft?" exclaimed" Dick; his thoughts flying straightway to Dorothy. But it was not Dorothy, for in two minutes she came running into the room, tried to speak, and then, scared and trembling and sobbing, she found herself somehow or other In his arms. Dick was almost beside himself with anxiety, but he soothed her tenderly, and patted her shoulder with a gentle, "There, there, darling, don't cry like that. What is it, dear? Tell me." But for a little time Dorothy simply could not tell him. "I've been longing for you to come," she said at last. Oh, poor Auntie! and she is ail I have In the world—in the world." "But is she ill?" asked he. "Remember that I know nothing." "But you got my telegram," she eaid, ceasing her sobs to look at him. "Your telegram? No! What telegram?"

"Well, scarcely," said Dick, half smiling at his own knowledge. "But about your aunt—is she ill?" , Dorothy's tears broke out afresh. "She is dying—dying," she sobbed. "The doctor says there is no hope—no hope whatever." "But tell me all about it," lie urged. "What is the matter with her? She was all right yesterday afternoon when I left. It must have been very suddden. Was it a fit?" "Paralysis," answered Dorothy mournfully. "We were just going to bed, and Auntie got up, and ail at once she said, 'I feel so strange, Dorothy; fetch Barbara;' and when I came back a minute afterward she had slipped down on the floor by the sofa there and could hardly speak.

"Mi3s Dimsdale, don't you know me, Dick Harris?" For a moment there waa a deathlike silence, then the dying woman muttered, "Dorothy—girl—alone." ^"You are troubling aJbout Dorothy," said Dick, slowly and clearly, "and I have something to tell you about Dorothy. Can you hear me? Cannot you make me some sign that you hear me? Can you move your hand?" But no, the hand remained perfectly still, still and cold, as if it were dead already. "Can you make me no Bign that you hear me?" Dick urged. "I must tell you this about Dorothy. It will make you quite easy in your mind about her." Still she did not move or speak, but after a moment or so her eyes slowly opened and she looked at him. "I see that you hear me and know me," said Dick.

"Dorothy." he said at last, "i ihould like to see her. Where is she?' "In her own bed," said Dorothy wo:itarinfilf* "Then take me up there. Perhaps ahe will understand me if I tell he: something." So Dorothy took him up to the large darkened room where the mistress cf the house lay dying. Barbara, nllrd { with griaf and dismay, sat keeping watch bealde her, and ahe stared with surprise to see Dorothy come in, followed by the tall soldier, who entered with a soft tread and went up to the bed, where he stood tor a mo- BMBt watching the dying w o a a a , and ttstanlng to the incoherent, momhling words that fell from her lips. "Dorothy—- little girl—no one—aione— ah!—'* gad then a long slgH, enough DO YOU KNOW ME? BiiLyou will be quite satisfied to know that she is safe with w', won't you?" There was another silence; then the poor tied tongue tried to speak, tried again, and at last mumbled something which the three listeners knew was, "Bless you." 'Auntie, auntie," sobbed Dorothy, In an agony, "say, one word to me—to me and poor Barbara, do." The dying eyes turned toward the faithful servp.ut, and a flickering smile passed aero' a the worn, gray face. "Old friends, she said more clearly then she had yet spoken. "Very hri^py, ana tne eyes turned toward Dick. "An;;: :e!" cried Dorothy. "My littc girl," said the dying warnnn, almost clearly now. "My dear, '.r);id cl.ild. I urn Quite h?.ppy."

Hie. news spread quickly through tha neighborhood, and every few minutes inquirers came to the door to hoar the details from Barbara and ask kindly for Dorothy. And about nooa, by the time Dorothy had dragged herself oat of bed and was sitting miserably beside the drawing-room Are, David Stevenson rode along the avenue anu told Barbara that he wanted to see MlflB Dorothy. "Mias Dorothy la very poorly and upset, air," said Barbara, wbo had a sort of instinct that Dorothy would rather not see this particular visitor. "Yee, but I must see her all the same," said David, curtly. "Wfcere is she?" "In the drawing-room, sir," said Barbara. "But I don't think I can let you go in without asking Miss Dorothy— I—" "Do you know," asked David, with exasperating calmness, "that I am Miss Dimsdale's sole executor? No, I thought not. Then you will understand now, perhaps, that it is necessary that I should see her—to find out her wishes with regard to the funeral for one thing, and to give hex authority to have her black frocks made for another;" and then, poor Barbara having shrunk away scared and trembling from this new and strange David Stevenson, whom she did not seem to know at all, he went straight *o the drawing-room, going in and shutting the door behind him. Dorothy jumped up with a cry almost of alarm when she saw who had thus entered. "There," said he, coldly, motioning her ba«k to her chair, "don't be afraid; I shall not hurt you," and then he got himself a chair and set It a little way from hers. "I was obliged to come and see you at once, Dorothy," he said, in a cold and formal way, "because your poor aunt made me the sole executor under her will. But.first let me say how very, very sorry I am that I have to come like this. I have known Miss Dimsdale all my life, and loved her always." Dorothy had softened a little at this, and before he had ended his sentence began to cry piteouely. David Steveneon went on: "I don't want to speak about the reason why she left me in charge of everything," he said—"at least, not just now. Of course, she thought that everything would be very different with us. And then, too, she was a good deal mixed up with me in business matters, and I believe she wished that the outside world should know aa little of her affairs as possible. Now, Dorothy, it shall be as you wish; r will either simply hear your wishes about the funeral and the mourning and all that, and tell you how your affairs stand by-aad-by, or I will tell you now, whichever you like." "I would rather know the w o n t now," said Dorothy, in a very low voice. She knew from his manner that he had no comforting news -to tell her. "Then I will ten you," said he, in a. strained tone; "and first I must aak you, did Miss Dhnsdale ever tell you that she had great losses during the past two years?" "Losses!" cried Dorothy, with open eyes. "No; I don*t know what, you mean." "I feared not. Well, ahe had several terrible losses of money, and—and, to cut a long story short, Dorothy, I ad- . - — : „ _ ICK ,'r, ,;*•'*•"$> Gravelt'in-h CI-IAPTHR VTI. stayed at Hall :mii the end came. after which he -.j^i bade Dorothy go to put and to Col- J\ ili *•"**"»*•«•*". which he • •'ill! rebelled in time for Lhe day's duty, being orderly officer for the day.

Meanwhile, will you and nothing of the engagevanced her several large sums on—on the security of this property." "Then this—go on," said Dorothy. "At that time Miss Dlmadaie and I both thought that everything would be different between you and me, and, in fact, that I waa but advancing money to you. We thought that the world—our little world here, I m e a n - would never know anything about it, and she was obliged to seU she ffnTt to somebody.

The cause of the sudden collapse of the ice house at Wbitmore Lake two weeks a^o, as brought out by the inquest was a sudden t,'ust of wind. Some merchants are very careful of their refutation.

FBJUTX L. ANDKKWS, Pnbtyshen PINCK$E4Y - ^ MICHIGAN. iv. Dr. A. J. Palmer, a northern minister, is lecturing in the south on the "Federal Soldier," and Gen. John B.

No millennium Impending, but jolly, good feeling on tap. Girls all know that the most persistent suitor for the waltz numbers is the very fellow they don't want. For our part we prefer a sitting-down waltz, anyhow. One of those waltz-at-ease movements where you both get away in some quiet corner, sit down side by side, you slip your arm around the girl and sit there and have your waltz out. The girl here has the power of selection. The punishment of a cartoon publisher and several other German citizens for disrespect to tha kaiser is evidence that his majesty has a cheap head as well as a thin skin. Men worthy of the cartoon recognize the compliment involved in it, however 'severe it may be; and the right of criticism belongs to every man who pays taxes to his government. And the kaiser must inevitably suffer mora as a result of his childishness than any of the men he puts in jail. TALMAGE'S SERMON. •GOOD AND BAD CLUI HOUSES" T H E T E X T . . I n m tli* T«z|i XL Samuel, II. t 14, M Follows: "I*ft the Young Men How Arise a»d rimj Before Us"—Kelt* of Imparl*! Debauchery Is Here. By refusing to accept the plea of intoxication advanced by an illegal voter in extenuation of his offense, a Philadelphia judge has taken a stand which good citizens will generally support, and which has reason, judgment and common sense back of it. In a vigorous manner the judge charged the jury that if they found the prisoner had voted illegally, as charged, it was their duty to convict him without regard to his condition at the time, whether he was drunk or sober. The jury promDtly convicted the man. The-number of cattle In stock in Britain is given at 6,500,497, of which 2,532,379 are cows and heifers in milk or in calf, and 1,323.230 are returned as being two years and above. As against the two preceding returns, cows show respective increases in number of 20,- 704 and 46,559; while the cattle of two years old and above present relative decreases of 41,827 and 108,295. Of cattle which have attained the age of one year there is an increase of 54,428 over the return of 1896, and of 170,473 over that of 1895. As compared with tfce total of 1896, calves or cattle under one year of age show a decrease of 26,390, but present an Increase of 37,- 524 as against that of 1895. Pigs have fallen considerably in number, being 536,499 less than in 1896, and 542,12? below the total of 1895. In one of William Mountford's books the dialogue runs like this: "I am old and feeble and useless," said Mai-ham, sadly. "No, uncle," said the young Aubln; "you were never more useful than now. You are useful just by being an old man." When Dr. Robert Gordon had outlived his activity as a minister, his friend, Dr. Candlish, said' of him: "It is far more important that he should live for several years* more than that he should do any work." His presence in the world became like that of a visible spirit of goodness. Fine old people are among the most gracious and humanizing influences, and sometimes their second childhood is more sweet and winsome than the first. We have known -more than one gray-hairei patriarch who was a very welcome "youth's companion." Major Handy, special commissioner to the Paris International Exposition, in his report to congress, recommends that an appropriation of $919,600 be granted, so that a creditable display on behalf of the United States may be made. The president, in transmitting the report, says: "Besides securing a much larger amount of space than had been reserved Major Handy obtained the gratifying assurance that the United States will be placed on a footing with the most favored nations and that in the installation of every Important department the United States will have a location com-> men8urate with the dignity and Importance of the country and adjoining In every case countries of the first rank. l a view of the magnitude and importance of the approaching exposition .and of our standing among the nations that will there be represented and in view also of our increased population and acknowledged progress in arts and sciences and manufactures, I earnestly commend the report of Major Handy to your consideration, and trust that a liberal appropriation may be made. Moreover, the magnificent exhibit of the French republic at Chicago in 1898, on which $1,000,000 were expended, should be a strong incentive to reciprocal liberality on the part of the -oTennaeat of the United States." Washington, January 9, 1898.—This discourse of Dr. Talmage will be helpful to those who want to find places with healthful and improving surroundings, and to avoid places deleterious. His text is 11. Sam. 2: 14: Let the young men now arise and play before us. A t this season of the year the clubhouses of our towns and cities are in full play. I have found out that there Is a legitimate and an illegitimate use it the club-house. In the one case it may become a healthful recreation, like the contest of the twenty-four"ra&n in the text when they began their play; in the other case it becomes the massacre of body, mind and soul, as in the case of these contestants of the text when they had gone too far with their eport. All intelligent ages have had their gatherings for political, social, artistic, literary purposes—gatherings characterized by "the blunt old Anglo- Saxon designation of "club." If you have read history you know that there was a King's Head Club, a Ben Johnson Club, a Brothers' Club, to which Swift and Bollngbroke belonged; a Literary Club, which Burke and Goldsmith and Johnson and Boswell made Immortal; a Jacobin Club, a Benjamin Franklin Junto Club. Some of these to Indicate justice, some to favor the arts, some to promote good manners, some to despoil the habits, some to destroy the soul. If one will write an honest history of the clubs of England, Ireland, Scotland, France and the United States for the last one hundred years, he will write the history of the world. The club was an institution born bn English soil, but it has thrived well in American atmosphere. Who shall ttll how many belong to that kind of club where men put purses together and open house, apportioning the -expense of caterer and servants and room, and having a sort of domestic establishment—a style i of club-house which in my opinion is far better than the ordinary hotel or boarding-house. But my object now is to speak of club-houses of a different sort, such as the Cosmos, or Chevy Chase, or Lincoln Clubs of this Capital, I or the "Union Leagues" of many cities, j the United Service Club of London, the Lotos of New York, where journalists, dramatists, sculptors, painters and artists, from all branches, gather together to discuss newspapers, theaters and elaborate art; like the Americua, whether you are impassioned or jplacld; shipwreck, or sunlight over the eea; Sheridan's Ride, or the noonday party of the farmers under the trees; foaming deer pursued by the hounds In the Adirondack!, or the sheep on the lawn. On this side there are reading rooms where you find all newspapers and magazines. On that side there is a library, where you find all books, from hermeneutlcs to the fairy" tale. Coming in and out there are gentlemen, some of whom stay ten minutes, others stay many hours. Some of these are from luxuriant homes, and they have excused themselves for a while from the domestic circle that of the club-house. These are from dismembered households, and they have a plain lodging somewhere, but they come to this club room to have their chief enjoyment. One black ball amid ten votes will defeat a man's becoming a member. For rowdyism, for drunkenness, for gambling, for any kind of misdemeanor, a member is dropped out. • Brilliant club-house from top to bottom. The chandeliers, the plate, the furniture, the companionship, the literature, the social prestige, a complete enchantment. But the evening is passing on, and so we hasten through the hall and down the steps and into the street, and from block to block until we come to another style of club-house. Opening the door, we find the fumes of strong drink and tobacco something almost intolerable. These young men at this table, it is easy to understand what they are at, from the flushed cheek, the intent look, the almost angry way of tossing the dice, or of moving the "chips." They are gambling. At another table are men who are telling vile stories. They are three-fourths intoxicated, and between twelve and one o'clock they will g o . staggering, hooting, swearing, shouting on their way home. That is an only son. On him all kindness, all care, all culture, has been bestowed. He is paying his parents in this way for their kindness. That is a yourg married man, who, only a few months ago, at the altar, made promises of kindness and fidelity, every one of which he has broken. Walk through and see for yourself. Here are all the implements of dissipation and of quick death. As the hours of the night go away, the conversation becomes Imbecile and more debasing. Now it is time to snut up. Those who are able to stand will get out on the pavement and balance themselves against the lamp-post, or against the railings of the fence. The young man who is not able to stand will have a bed improvised for him in the club-house, or two not quite so overcome with liquor will conduct him to his father's house, and they will ring the door-bell, and the duo/ will open, and the two imbecile escorts elevated; but let nqt men sacrifice horns life to club life. I can point out to you a great many names of men who are guilty of this sac* rilege. They are as genial as angels at the club house, and as ugly as sin at hprne. They are, runerous on all subjects of wine suppers, yaohts, and fast horses, but they, are stingy about the wife's dress and the children's shoes. That man has made that which might be a healthful recreation an usurper of his affections, and he has married tt, and he is guilty of moral bigamy. Under this process th*> wife, whatever her features, becomes uninteresting and homely. He, becomes they may enjoy the larger sociability critical of her, does not like the dress, which camps out in summer time, dimpling the pool with its hook and jrousing the forest with its stag hunt; like the Century Club, which has its large group of venerable lawyers and | poets; like the Army and Navy Club, ' where' those who engaged in war-like ! service once on the land or the sea now come together to talk over the days of carnage; like the New York Yacht Club, with its floating palaces of beauty upholstered with velvet and paneled with ebony, having all the advantages of electric bell, and of gaslight, and of king's pantry, one pleasure boat costing three thousand, another fifteen thousand, another thirty thousand, another sixty-five thousand dollars, the fleet of pleasure boats belonging to the club having «ost over two million, dollars; like the American Jockey Clubyto which belong men who have a passionate fondness for horses, will ihtroduce into the hallway the ghastliest and most hellish spectacle that ever enters a front door—a drunkdoes not like the way she arranges her hair, Is amazed that he ever was so unromantlc as to offer her hand and heart She is always wanting money, money, when she ought to be discussing eclipses, and Dexter, and Derby day, and English drags with six horses, all answering the pull of one "ribbon." I tell you, there are thousands of houses In the cities being clubbed to death! There are club houses where membership always involves domestic shipwreck. Tell me that a man has joined a certain club, tell me nothing more about him for ten years, and I will write his history if he be still alive. The man is a wine guzzler, his wife broken-hearted or prematurely old, his fortune gone or reduced, and his home a mere name In a directory. Here are six secular nights in the week. "What shall I do with them?" says the father and the husband. "I will give four of those nights to the improvement and entertainment of my family, either at home or in good neighborhood; I will devote one to charitable Institutions; I will devote one to the club." I congratulate you. Here is a man who says, "I will make a different division of the six nights. I will take three for the club and three for other purposes." I tremble. Here is a man who says, "Out of the six secular nights of the week, I will devote five to the club house and one to the home, which night I will spend in scowling like a March squall, wishing I was out spending it as I had spent the other five." That man' s obituary is written. Not one out of ten thousand that ever gets so far on the wrong road ever stops. Gradually his health will fail, through late hours and through too much stimulus. He will be first-rate prey for erysipelas and rheumatism of the heart. The doctor coming in will at a glance see It is not only present disease he mum 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 religious generalities. The men who got his yacht in the eternal rapids will not be at the obsequies. They will have pressing engagements that day. BAD DIGESTION, BAD HEART. Poor digestion of leu cause* irregularity of the heart's action. This irregularity may be mistaken for real, organic heart disease. The symptoms are much the isme. There is however* TMtdiffereneebetween the two: organic heart disease is often in* curablo; apparent heart disease is curable If good digestion be restored, A ease in point Is quoted from the Nn» JBra, of Greensburg, Ind. Mrs. Ellen Colaom, Newpoint, inai, a woman forty-three Jears old, iutd suffered for four yean with Stressing stomach trouble. The gases Eenerated by the indigestion pressed on the eart, and caused an irregularity of its action. She had much pain in her stomach and heart, and was subject to frequent and severe choking spells which were most severe at night Dectpcs f wyere tried in vain; the patient became worse, despondent, and feared impending death. • t \AN/ A Cage of Heart Failure. She was much frightened but noticed that in intervals in which her stomach did not annoy her, her heart's action became normal. Reasoning correctly that her digestion was alone at fault she procured the proper medicine to treat that trouble and with immediate good results. Her appetite came back, the choking spells became less frequent and finally ceased. Her weight, which had been greatly reduced was restored and she now weighs more than for years. Her blood soon became pure and her cheeks rosy. The case is of general interest because the disease is a very common one. That others may know the means of cure we give the name of the medicine used—Dr. Williams' Fink Pills for Pale People. These pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood And restore shattered nerves.

If tue dissipting club-houses Bring me mallet and chisel, and 1 will fine horses, ds had Job when, in the Scriptures, he gv^es us a sketch of that king of beasts, th< nervousness of its foot, the majesty of its gait, the whirlwind of its power, crying out: "Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? The glory of his nostrils is terrible; he paweth in the valley and rejoiceth in his strength; he saith among the trumpets ha! ha! and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captaitos, and the shouting;" like the Travelers' Club, the Blossom Club, the Palette Club, the Commercial Club, the Liberal Club, the Stable Gang Club, the Amateur Boat Club, the gambling clubs, the wine clubs, the clubs of all sizes, the clubs of all morals, clubs as good as can be, and clubs as bad as bad can be, clubs innumerable. During the day they are comparatively lacy places. Here and there an aged mas reading a newspaper, or an employe dusting a sofa, or a clerk writing up the aeeottnts; but when the curtain of the night falls on the natural day, when the curtain of the elub-house hoists for the entertainment. Let us hasten up, now, the marble stairs. What an Imperial hallway! See! here are parlors on the side, with the upholstery of the Kremlin and the Tullleries; and here are dining halls that challenge you to mention aajr luxury that they cannot afford; and here are galleries with sculpture, and paintings, and lithographs, and drawings from the best of artists, Cropsey, and Bleratadt, and Church, and Bart, and Oiflord—picturss for every mood. of this country would make a contract with the Inferno to provide it ten thousand men a year, and for twenty years, on the condition that no more should be asked of them, the clubhouses could afford to make that contract, for they would save homesteads, save fortunes, save bodies, minds mid souls. The ten thousand men who would be sacrificed by that contract would be but a small part of the multitude sacrificed without the contract. But I make a vast difference between clubs. I have belonged to four clubs: A theological club, a ball club and two literary clubs. I got from them physical rejuvenation and moral health. What shall be the principle? If God will help me, I will lay down three principles by which you may juuge whether the club where you are a member, or the club to which you have been Invited, is a legitimate or an illegitimate club house. First of all, I want you to test the club' by its influences on home, If you have a home. I have been tolfl by a prominent gentleman in club life,that three-fourths of the members of the great clubs of these cities are married men. That wife soon k)ses 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 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 door-step, and on the other side by his back window, knowing nothing higher than his Own attic, or nothing 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 hep own sceptre 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, 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 huebaad consecrates evenings to the service of God, or to charity, or to art, or to anything cut on the tombstone 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 chisel, and I will cut an honest epitaph: "Here lies the victim of a dissipating club house!", I think that damage is often done by the scions of some aristocratic family, who belong to one of these dissipating club houses. People coming up from humbler classes feel it an honor to belong to the same club, forgetting "the fact that many of t'he sons and grandsons of the large commercial establishments of the last generation are now, as to mind, imbecile; as to body, diseased; as to morals, rotten.. They would have got through their property long ago if they had full possession of it; but the wily ancestors, who earned the money by hard knocks, foresaw how it was to be, and they tied up everything in the will. Now, there is nothing of that unworthy descendant but his grandfather's name and roast beef rotundity. And yet how many steamers there are which feel honored to lash fast that worm-eaten tug, though it drags them straight into the breakers. The Laplanders. The Laplanders Inhabit the northernmost coasts of the Scandinavian peninsula. "They are ignorant, uncultivated, and torpid, rather savage," says a recent English traveler. "In spit*, of their frequent contact with the Russians and the Swedes, they have no industrial resources, no art, no other commerce than that which is afforded by the products of the chase, or their fisheries, or their heads of reindeer. Christianity, to which they were converted about two centuries ago, has not aroused them as yet from their moral and intellectual lethargy. All religion being- reduced, so far as they are concerned, to oral tradition, the devotion of* each is in proportion to his memory. Education among them has attained to this standard thai a Laplander who knows his alphabet corresponds to a young man among us who has graduated at Oxford or OambridaV AN OPEN LETTER TO MOTHERS. eVxWcl uarseiv aes suosret ionfg t hine twheo rcdo u"rCtsA oSuTrO rlIfirlhAt, "to atnhde ' PITi.
