Allhon. The DISPATCH a few yiiars ;• i<o commenced to agitate The electric road question and many of L ur brother editors took particula • pp.ms to joke at our expense and laugh at the idea of such a thing ever coming to Pinckney. That such a road is now under contemplation is a source of threat satisfaction to us, but we are still aware that there is umany a slip'1 etc., and that if we get the proposed Lansing, Dexter (or PINTKNET) & Ann Arbor Electric Ry., lice we will have to work for it as we have sister towns that are off of the direct line, who will do all in their power to divert the road from this direction. That is the question to be settled by the citizens of Pinckney and vicinity. That the township board has the power to give the right-of-way through the ^township is undisputed, but to make the matter more satisfactory and easier to dispose of the committee desire to secure the. right-of-way of tire farmers along the line to allow it to pass their farms, and it would seem as if no fair thinking man, who has the best interestsof his township, village or farm at heart, would hesitate a moment in granting this to the proposed line. Now, friends, shall we have this road or shall we let some other more progressive community secure the plum? Let us rally and put our village and township to the front and be the foremost in Livingston county. The ball is rolling, do not let it stop until the cars of the L, D. & A. A. Ry. roll through Pinckney, and they will in less than a year if we all say so. Get dtarks Photos at Coupon rates on Jan. 26.

T h e acquittal of Count Esterhazy, w h o w a s charged w i t h t h e Dreyfus crime, led M. Zola, t h e famous novelist, to denounce Esterhazy and other h i g h civil and military personages, and he dared the g o v e r n m e n t to prosecute him. The citizens took sides in the matter and t h e fact that Dreyfus is of H e b r e w extraction led to a strong anti -Semitic feeli n g b e i n g aroused and there w a s some bloodshed.

McCiellan, o f N e w York, a son of Gen- Geo. M. MoCtsUnji, attacked the present army organization a s obsolete and inefficient, top-heavy w i t h the gold lace of staff officers, m a n y of w h o m had not seen more active service than the average policeman. He advocated a thorough reorganization, not in a spirit of jingoism, but to call attention to the fact that we are paying a very large price for an inefficient army, utterly unprepared for war, while a very small additional expenditure, w i t h proper reorganisation, would work wonders. Mr. L e w i s , of Washington, protested against^ a n enl a r g e m e n t of the army as it w o u l d b u t s t r e n g t h e n the trusts and monopolies in securing a firmer g r a s p upon the liberties of the people and. the government. Senator Wolcott, chairman, of t h e international bimetallic commission, delivered an address ia the Senate in w h i c h he spoke of the status of t h e negotiations with the foreign g o v e r n - m e n t s by the Commissioner last y e a r in the interests of International bimetallism. He said t h a t it is a p p a r e n t , t h a t for the time b e i n g it is hopeless to count on any co-operation from »Great Britain towards a bimetallic agreement, and that w h i l e France actively desires to see silver restored to its old position as a standard of value e q u a l l y with gold, she insists t h a t the problem is one which demands international action and the co-operation to s o m e adequate e x t e n t of other leading commercial nations of the world. He t h o u g h t it m i g h t be necessary to change the ratio to s o m e t h i n g like 20 to 1. He referred to the attitude of Secretary Gage on the financial question, contrasting it with the President's position, and said Secretary Gage's bill will reach limbo before it reaches the Senate. In conclusion Mr. Wolcott said it would be cowardly to abandon hope, and added: "International bimetallism is to the gold monome tall lets a Stumbling block, and to t h e ' s i l v e r monometallists foolishness, b e t It is nevertheless a splendid possibility; i t s accomplishment would be the greate s t blessing t h a t could be fall, our people, e n d to achieve it we m i g h t w e l l s f f o n d i o sink for the time the hostilities and bickerings of factions.

Neither of them aaid a worcl more, and after a moment or so he released her hand, and went out of the room, knowing as surely as if she said Vt la come—to keep her carriage and pair, plain words, that Dorothy Strode had tier gardener and her maids. Indeed, Miss Dlmsdale never had any money to spare, and it was in the hope erf making more of the loose money that she had, money that was apart from her estate and her settled annuity, that she ^unfortunately bought, among other things,, two shares in a bank which was not safe, which, indeed, failed and left fcer liable for nearly as much money as the Hall and the lands were wortlh." "Then was my aunt a pensioner on your bounty?" Dorothy cried, her face all aflame at the idea. "Certainly not," with a bitter smile at the pride on the soft IWrtie face. "I was not to take possession until her death, and she had always her annuity; Tmt after that loss she never lived In the same comfort quite as she had done before." "I never noticed it," Dorothy put in. "Perhaps not. She was most anxious that you should not do so." "Then this is your house?" said Dorothy, rising. "Stay, let me speak. I will »e£—keep yoa—out of your-4 rights. The day after she"—her voice trembling—"Is taken away, I, too. will go," and then she turned away, to hide alike her anger and her tears. David Stevenson rose also, his face hard and set in response to the bitterness of the girl's tones, his hands trembling, and his heart as heavy as lead. A sharp reply rose to his tongue, *ut it went no further, for all at once che fright'of Dorothy's grief touched and softened him. "Dorothy! Dorotrayf" he-said, "what KISSED IT. cam I ever have said or done to you that you should treat me like this? I have loved you a i r my life, just as I love you now, but there is no crime in that, surely? By writing and asking you to be my wife.

The idea of your talking of my rights here, when your aunt is sUll lyisg in the house, is too cruel, too unkind. I am not an interloper, who cheated my friend out. of her dues; on the co>ntrary, I saved her from all the unpleasantness and the expense of exposure. She never looked upon me as yoa do now^—* don't think, Dorothy," he ended reproachfully, "that I have deserved this frrom you." Dorothy had hidden her face upon the chimney-shelf. "I am very miserable," she said, in a choking voice. •TnjTvery sorry." . David Stevenson drew his own conclusions from the admission: t&em after a minute or two of silence, he asid, "There is one thing I should like to tell you before I go, Dorothy—" •"Yea," very meekly. "It is—don't think I am trying to foooe myself on yoa when you are in trouble, for it is because you are alone and In trouble that I must tell you. It ie titat I think now about you as I alhadppjens, one pair of arms will be always have thought, and as I believe I always shall think. And I want you to peasember, Dorothy, that if ever you feel aay differently toward me than you hare done lately, you Bare only to send a line and aay, 'David, I want yoa.' Or if you choose t o go away into the world altogether, to marry, to do anything, you know that, whatever ways open tor you, one lover always ready to call yon mistress, one man always ready to He down under your feet That was what I came to aay to-day." There was a death-like silence. Dorothy struggled to speak, but could n o t Then she put out her hand la a btiad sort of way towa** him, and David bent down and kieaed it. given her heart away, and that she would never send for him in this world; that it was all over, and at an end between them forever. So he went home to his own handsome, lonely house, and looked around as a condemned man may look around the cell which Is to be his while life lasts. He was quietly and utterly miserable, for until a few months ago Dorothy had been the life and mainspring of his life. , If he had made any improvement in his house, it had been for Dorothy. If he had planted a shrub or a young tree, it had been for' Dorothy. He had bought a smart little village cart, thinking that it was just what Dorothy would like to drive Iherself about the lanes in—but it had all been for nothing; and in that bitter hour of realization he knew that he would live out his life alone, and that Dorothy Strode would never come, except in dreams, vain, hopeless dreams, to be the mistress of Holroyd. tie tahie at her elbow. "Poor D a v i d r •he aaid, softly, "it la too bad for him. I with I could have liked him; A n t i e whmed it too. Dear Auntiel But I cant, I can't, and Auntie liked Dick heat afterward. It made her ao fnl and happy to know that I ing to he Dick's wife—that Dick was going to take care ot me always. And yet, poor David! Ob! I wish he would marry someone else. Biaie Oarrtagton likes htan so much—Eleie arwuys thought David was perfect. I wonder when I am safely out of the way and married to Dick, whether David could be brought to think of Btoie a little. It would be such a good thing for her, and she is pretty and good, and oh! so fond of him. I wonder if I were to give David Just a little (hint, just a suspicion of a hint that Elsie has always liked him. If he wouldn't-^why, Elsie would never know that I had said anything, and then if he knew he might soon get to like her better than me. I am sure if Dick had not cared for me as he does, and had married somebody else, I would marry David at once, and Auntie would be glad, too, if she knew. David used to be her favorite, and ehe always liked Elsie, always." "Now, my dear," said Barbara, coming in, "here is a nice cup of tea and a plate of toast. Try to eat it, my dear; it will help you to bear tt." "Yes, Barbara," said Dorothy, her eyes filling with tears again. A •fmWW imiwmurw f. M« * • CHAPTER V m .

Therefore I have sent into Colchester for Mawscm to come out and eee you about the funeral, which will be, of course, in every respect as you wish to have it. May I suggest to you that you shall carry out Miss Dimsdale's often expressed views on this subject—plain and good and without ostentation? With regard to your mourning, it will be best for you to employ your regular dress people. I am obliged to mention this, as, not being of age, you cannot legally pay for accessary bills. After next month you will be the absolute mistress of whatever the property will realize. Always your true friend, "DAVID." This Dorothy received soon after four in the afternoon, just after Barbara had lighted the lamps in the drawing-room and drawn the crimson curtains closely over the windows. "There is & letter, Miss Dorothy, dear," she said, glad of anything that -would help to break the loneliness an<i monotony of that awful day, "and while you read it I'll go and see if your cup of tea isn't ready: you have had nothing this day, and a cup of CHAPTER DC. H E following morning Dick Aylmer made his appearance at the Hall quite early. ''How have you been getting on, my darling?" he said, when Dorothy fairly ran into his arms. "Oh! it was such a miserable day yesterday," she answered mournfully. "I sat here alone all day crying and thinking about Auntie, except *'it*n—" "Yes? When—" "When David Steve, aon came to see me." Dick could not help frowning a little. "David Stevenson? Why did he come?" "Well, because he is Auntie's executor— he has to do everything; and oh! Dick, everything belongs to him now —the very house is his." "His, this house! Why, what do you mean?" "I will tell you," she said. "You know; but no, of course you don't know, but I will tell you.

As a member of the force he served the city well, but the rough weather he was often subjected to laid the foundation of kidney disorder, which has troubled him very much. Here is what he says about it: "About three years ago, while on the police force, I contracted from exposure a kidney trouble, which has since given me no end of trouble. The pain was right through my kidneys and across the email of my back; if sitting down and I wanted to stand up, I had to arise very slowly and) gently to avoid increasing the pain; I bail Buch tired-out feelings all the time, and I was steadily gutting worse.

Stearns of Kalamazoo is the Conductor of our Farmers' Institute at Howell, Feby. 3 and 4. Mr^ Stearns has a 40 acre fruit farm a t South Haven and is a successful grower of all kinds of fruit. He is thoroughly posted on up-to-date methods. His advice is adapted to those who wish to make a specialty of f n m growing and also to those who are engaged in it on a small scale. Prof. Ii. A. Hinsdale of th© University speaks on the subjeet "Rural Schools." The importance of the subject and the reputation of the speaker will, we are sure, attract the attention of the people of Livingston Co. Every teacher in the county should be present to hear him. Mr. C. P, Goodrich of Ft. Atkinson, Wis., is th« leading dairyman of that state. He knows the business from the foundation, having followed it over 35 years. Such a man is worth hearing. His talks will be especially interesting to the people' of this locality. He not only knows dairying but is well ported on all phases of general farming.

"Loan companies," in most of our cities, advance email sums of money on the security of household furniture, charging anywhere from six to twenty per cent a month interest. The federation of women's clubs at Syracuse was ruled by Sorosis in the •election of U president, and the opposition bitterly says it did so through a Tammany system of politics. Thus the federation is at war with Itself, and the result is an immensity of grief and hysterics, to be followed by the hopeleas fracture of the entire establishment. It is singular that women cannot dwell together in unity—any more than men can. The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute for colored people has Just dedicated an agricultural building. One of the speakers said: "It is/ a great deal better for the state of Alabama to spend one hundred dollars on each of these boys and girls than to spend perhaps ten thousand dollars in convicting them later on." Illiteracy is expensive as well as deplorable. Education is economical, for it reduces crime; and there is no color line in this fact A foreign writer recently said: "Germany feels more and more the need of foreign markets. She has ceased to.be a pre-eminently agricultural country, and is becoming every year more and more an Industrial and commercial country. In 1882, of every 1,000 persons 425 were supported by agriculture and only 355 by industry and 100 by commerce. In 1895 the proportions were already nearly reversed, Woman, a mere adjunct to man, an appendix to the masculine volume, an appendage, a sort of afterthought, something thrown in to make things even—that is the heresy entertained and implied by some men. This is evident to them, because Adam was first created, and than Eve. They don't read the whole story, or they would And that the porpoise and the bear and the hawk were created before Adam, so that this argument, drawn from priority of creation, might prove that the sheep and the dog were greater than man. No Woman was an independent creation, and was intended, if she chose, to live alone, to work alone, act alone, think alone, and fight her battles alone. Thee Bible says it is not good for man to be alone, but never says it is not good for woman to be alone; and the simple fact is that many women who are harnessed for life in the marriage religion would be a thousandfold better off if they were alone. Who are these men who, year alter year, hang around hotels and enginehouses and theater doors, and come In and out to bother busy clerks and merchants and mechanics, doing nothing, where there is plenty to do? They are men supported by their wives and mothers. If the statistics of any of our cities could be taken on this subject, you would find that a vast multitude of women* not only support themselves, but masculines. A great legion of men amount to nothing, and a woman by marriage, manacled to one of these nonentities, needs condolence. A wolay out her own plans, he her own supervisor, achieve her own destiny. In addressing those women who have to fight the battle alone, I congratulate you on your happy escape. Rejoice forever that you will not have to navigate the faults of the other sex, when you have faults enough of your own. Think of the bereavement* you avoid, of the risks of unassimilated temper which you will not have to run, of the cares you will never have to carry, and of the opportunity of outside usefulness from which marital life would have partially debarred you. and that you are free to go and come as one who has the responsibilities of a household can seldom be. God has not given you a hard lot, as compared with your sisters. When young women shall make up their mindB at the start that masculine companionship is not a necessity in order to happiness, and that there is a strong probability that they will have to fight the battle of life alone, they will be getting the timber ready for their own fortune, and their saw and axe and plane sharpened for its construction, since "Every wise woman buildeth her house." As no boy ought to be brought up without learning some business at which he could earn a livelihood, so no girl ought to be brought up without learning the science of self-support. The difficulty is that many a family goes sailing on the high tides of success, and the husband and father depends on' his own health and acumen for the welfare of his, household, but one day he gets his feet wet, and in three days pneumonia has closed hts life, and the daughters are turned out on a cold world to earn bread, and there is nothing practical thaT they can do. The friends come In and hold consultation. "Give music lessons," says an outsider. Yes, that is a useful calling, and if you have great genius" for it, go on in that direction. But there are enough music teachers now starving to death in all our towns and cities, to occupy all the piano stools man standing outside the marriage re- j and sofas and chairs and front-door latlon is several hundred thousand times better off than a woman badly married. Many a bride, instead of a wreath of orange blossoms might more 891 per 1,000 derived their livelihood properly wear a bunch of nettles and from industry, 116 from commerce and only 367 from agriculture. Foreign markets, must therefore, be secured abroad for the surplus production of her industry, and, on the'other hand, food and raw materials must be obtained in increasing quantities from abroad." s ' At the opening of the agricultural building at Tuskegee, Ala., Secretary of Agriculture Wilson said: "There la a growing demand for men educated in the sciences relating to agriculture. We want a soil physicist at the department in Washington—a simple want, one would say. There are 1,000 people asking places in the department, well-educated people, but not one has studied soils. An inquiry comes from a university for a biologist; none of the 1,000 is proficient along that line; a scientific dairyman is in demand; very few are to be had, while the country has a surplus of men and women well-educated along lines that do not apply to the farm and its various departments. We must educate young people to do something that somebody wants done, where money is waiting to pay them. nightshade, and, Instead of the Wedding March, a more appropriate tune would be the Dead March in Saul, and, instead of a banquet of confectionery and ices, there might be, more appropriately spread a table covered with apples of Sodom. Many an attractive woman, of good sound sense in other things, has married one of these men to reform him, What was the result? Like when a dove, noticing that a vulture was rapacious and cruel, set about to reform it, and said, "I have a mild disposition, and I ltkft peace, and was brought up It is reported that at the Grand Island, Neb., sugar beet factory a flock of 50,000 sheep and a number of cattle are now being fed almost exclusively upon the sliced beets, after the Juices and sugar are extracted. City delivery waeona deliver to owners of in the quiet of a dove-cote, and I will bring the vulture to the same liking by marrying him," so, one day, after the vulture declared he would give up his carniverous habits and cease longing for blood of flock and herd, at an altar of rock covered with moss and steps of the city. Besides that, the daughter has been playing only for amusement, and is only at the foot of the ladder, to the top of which a great multitude of masters on piano and harp and flute and organ have climbed. "Put the bereft daughters as saleswomen in stores," says another adviser. But there they must compete with salesmen of long experience, or with men who have served an apprenticeship in commerce and who began as shop boys at ten years of age. Some kind-hearted dry goods man, having known the father, now gone, says, "We are not in need of any more help just now, but send your daughters to my store, and I will do as well by them as possible." Very soon the question lichen, the twain were married, a baldheaded eagle officiating, the vulture saying, "With all my dominion of earth and sky, I thee endow, and promise to love and cherish till death do I your daughters that life is an earnest us part." But one day the dove in her j thing, and that there is a possibility, comes up, why do not the female employes of that establishment get as much wages as the male employes? For the simple reason, in many cases, the females were suddenly flung by misfortune behind that counter, while the males have from the day they left the public school beea learning the business. How is this evil to be cured? Start clear back in the homestead and teach les during the patriotlo absence, womet were demand©* by the teat o* thousands to take the vacant places; and multitudes of women, who had been hitherto supported bycXathers and brothers and sons, were compelled from that time to take care of themsejve*. From that time a mighty change took place favorable to female employment. * * * Now, men of America, be fair, and give the women a chance. Are you afraid that they will do some of your work, and hence harm your prosperities t Remember that there are scores of thousands of men doing women's work. Do not be afraid! God knows the end from the beginning, and he knows how many people this world can feed and shelter, and when it gets too full he will end the world, and, if need be, start another. God will halt the inventive faculty, which, by producing a machine that will do the work of ten or twenty or a hundred men and women, will leave that number of people without work. I hope th&t there will not be invented another sewing machine, or reaping machine, or corn thresher, or any new machine, for the next five hundred years. We want no more wooden hands and iron hands and steel hands and electric hands substituted for men and women, who would otherwise do the work and get the pay and earn the livelihood. But God will arrange all, and all we have to do Is to do our best and trust him for the rest. Let me cheer all women fighting the battle of life alone, with the fact of thousands of women who have won the day. Mary Lyon, founder of Mount Holyoke Female Seminary, fought the battle alone; Adelaide Newton, the tract distributor, alone; Fidelia Fisk, the consecrated missionary, alone; Dorothea Dlx, the angel of the insane asylums, alone; Caroline Herschel, the indispensable reinforcement of her brother, alone; Maria Takrzewska, the heroine of the Berlin hospital, alone; Helen Chalmers, patron of the sewing schools for the poor of Edinburgh, alone. And thousands and tens of thousands of women, of whose bravery and self-saeriflce and glory of character the world has made no record, but whose deeds are in the heavenly archives of martyrs who fought the battle alone, and, though unrecognized for the short thirty or fifty or. eighty years Qf their earthly existence, shall through the quintillion ages of the higher world be pointed out with the admiring cry, .."These are they who came out of great tribulation and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb." Let me also say, for the encouragement of all women fighting the battle of life alone, that their conflict will Honn and.

The second sealing conference closed with an agreement of the American, Canadian and British seal experts upon certain matters of fact. Among t-hese are the statements that the Pribilof seal herd is not more than one-third or one-fifth as large as formerly; that the catch at sea contains a marked excess of females; but that deep-sea sealing has fallen off in greater ratio than the herd has; and that the herd 1« not in danger of actual extermination while its haunts on land are protected, and the protected zone around the islands U. maintained. This agreement of the experts was followed by a diplomatic conference, at which the representatives of Canada submitted propositions for an adjustment of all questions at issue between the United States and rgnjwi^ through an international commission. These propositions are to be formally presented later for the consideration of our gowamect. fright, saw the vulture busy at" a carcass and cried, "-Stop that! did you not promise me that you would quit your carniverous and filthy habits if I married you?" "Yes," said the vulture, "but if you don't like my way, you can leave,** and with one angry Btroke of the beak, and another fierce clutch of the claw, the vulture left the dove eyeless and wingless and lifeless. And a flock of robins flying past, cried.to each other and said, "See there! that comes from a dove marrying a vulture to reform him." Many a woman who has had the hand of a young inebriate offered, but declined it, or who was asked to chain her life to a man selfish, or of bad temper, and refused the shackles, will bless God throughout all eternity that she escaped that earthly pandemonium. Besides all this, in our country about one million men were sacrificed in our Civil war, and that decreed a million women to celibacy. Besides that, since the war, several armies of men as large as the Federal and Confederate armies put together, have fallen under malt liquors and distilled spirits, so full of poisoned ingredients that the work was done more rapidly, and the victims fell while yet young.^ And if fifty thousand men are destroyed every year by strong drink before marriage, that makes in the thirty-three years since the war one million six hundred and fifty thousand p-zn slain, and decrees one million six hundred and fifty thousand women to celibacy. Take, then, the fact that so many women are unhappy in their marriage, and the fact that the slaughter of two million five hundred and fifty thousand men, by war and rum combined, decides that at least that number of women shall be unaffianced iot life, my text "ornes in with a cheer and potency and approprlatenMe that you may never have seen in it before when it says, "Every wise woman buildeth her house; that Is, let woman be her own architect, if not a strong probability, that they will have to fight the battle of life alone. Let every father and mother say to their daughters, "Now, what would you do for a livelihood if what I now own were swept aw^iy by financial disaster, or old aga, or death should end my career?" "Well, I^could paint on pottery and do such decorative work." Yes, that is beautiful, and if yuu havtj geulua for 11 go on in that direction. But there are enough busy at that now to make a line of hardware as long as yon Pennsylvania avenue'. "Well, I could make recitations in public and earn my living as a dramatist; I could render King Lear or Macbeth till your hair would rise on end, or give you Sheridan's Ride or Dicken's Pickwick." Yes, that is a beautiful art, but ever and anon, as now, there is an epidemic of dramatization that makes hundreds of households nervous with the cries and shrieks and groans of young tragediennes dying in the fifth act, and the trouble 'is that while your friends would like to hear ycu, and really think that you could surpass Ristori and Charlotte Cushman and Fanny Kemble of the past, to say nothing of the present, you could not, in the way of living, in ten years earn ten cents. My advice to all girls and all unmarried women, whether in affluent homes or in homes where most stringent economies.are grinding, is to learn to do some kind of work that the world must have while the world stands. I am glad to Bee a marvelous change for the better, and that women have found out that there are hundreds of practical things that a woman can do for a living if she begins soon enough, and that men have been compelled to admit it. You and I can remember when the majority of occupations were thought inappropriate for women; but our Civil war came, and the boats of men went forth from North and South; and to conduct the business of our cltover the faces of many of them, and that word is Despair. My sister, you need appeal to Christ, who comforted the sisters of Bethany in their domestic trouble, and who In his last hours forgot all the pangs of his own hands and feet and heart, as he looked into the face of maternal anguish, and called a friend's attention to it, in substance saying, "John, I can not take" care of her any longer. Do for her as I would have done, if I had lived. Behold thy mother!" If, under this pressure of unrewarded and unappreciated work, your hair is whitening and the wrinkles come, rejoice that you are nearing the hour of escape from your very last fatigue, and may your departure be as pleasant as that of Isabella Graham, who closed her life with$J smile and the word "Peace." The daughter of a regiment in any army is all surrounded by bayonets of defense, and, in the battle, whuever falls, she is kept safe. And you are the daughter of the regiment commanded by the Lord of Hosts. After all, you are not fighting the battle of life alone. All heaven is on your side. You will be wise to appropriate to yourself the words of sacred rhythm: "One who has known in storms to sail I have on board; Above the roaring of the gale I hear my Lord.

The facetlousness of calling Persia the Land of the Lion and the Sun becomes apparent as soon as one enters the country. Persia contains, maybe- 100 lions, while jackasses number not less than 10,000,000. Within the boundaries of the shah's dominion ears are trumps every time and the universal music is the donkey's mellifluous bray. Almost every Persian owns a donkey and many of them whole droves. The population of Persia Is estimated at 10,000,000 souls. Current opinion at Teheran places tto donkey .population at about dhe same number.

I wouul freeze to ice for fully Ave minutes, taen the shakes would begin anil I would shake from one half hour to an hour and a half .and when they stopped I had no strength left; the after effects were more like a lit. 1 would sleep very heavily for three hoars or more, all nndtr the most Intense pain.

The X-ray was put on by one of tbe city's most eminent physicians, but he told nie I was incurable, that I mast as* plenty of morphine or suffer. Soon after I saw the ad in a western paper of "A DKOP8," the recipe from the celebrated physician, Dr. Lloyd, whom I knew by reputation. 1 wrote and explained my case to tne Swaneon Rheumatic Cure Co., and received an answer that 1 could be cured, and sent me a small trial bottle to begin on. Just before I received it 1 had one of those terrible shakes which almo»t\illed me. For nine years I bad a kidney backache, a hot stinging pain that nerer left me for a moment. I tried everything I could hear of, but con Id g e t no relief until I begun t h e '<& DROPS."

The year has opened with a very satis* factory prospect It is-,alt the better that there fa no wild excitement la the speculative markets and while stocks advance a lutle grain yields a little. Distributive trade remains rather quiet, mild weather throughout the country teodtog to check distribution of winter goods. Prices generally remain steady or tend upward, except for some grades of iron, and orders for sprtng trade, where received, are encouraging Industrial activitv is most manifest at the west, where the demand for iron is very large. Since 1»92 was, on the whole, the most prosperous vear, thus far comparisons Indicate, notwithstanding the lowest prices ever known, that t h e volume ot business is larger, and. In spite of some cutting of rates, the earnings of the railroads are larger than in the best vear of past history. Woman.Who KJJOW the Laws of Nattrro and Obtp Them May U v e to Oroen Old Atfo.

' Nervous exhaustion invites disease. This statement i s the positive truth. When everything becomes a burden and you cannoV walk a few blocks without excessive fatigue? and yon break out into perspirations easily, and your face flushes, and yon grow excited and shaky at the least provocation, and you cannot bear t o be kcrossed in anything, yon sare in danger; your nerves have given out; yon need building up at once! To build u p woman's nervous system and restore woman's health, we know of no better or more inspiring medicine than Tiydia £ . Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Your ailment taken in time can be thrown off, if neglected it will run on into great suffering and pain. Here is an illustration. MRS. LUCY GOODWIN, Holly, W. Va., says: " I suffered with nervous prostration, fainteess, all-gone feeling and palpitation of the heart. I could not stand but s> few moments at a time withoat having that terrible bearing-down sensation. " When I commenced taking Lydia £ . Pinkham's Vegetable Compound 1 only weighed 108 pounds, and could n o t sit up half a day; before, however, I had used a whole bottle, I was able to b e about. I took in all about three bottles of the Compound, and am entirely cured; now I weigh 131 pounds and feel like a new woman, stronger and better than ever in my life." So it transpires that because of t h e virtues of Mrs. Pinkham's wonderful Compound, even a very sick woman can be cured and live t o a green old age. Some people use a jackass to draw a conveyance and others employ a lawyer. Age may not be garrulous, but it is sure to tell on a woman in the course of time.

When a Michigan man speaks, Makes a plain, straightforward statement, Gratefully acknowledges assistance. Tells his own personal experience. , Makes it public for the public good, It's a manly act. It's manly because it helps others. So many claims made that are not true, Backed by strangers from far away places. No wonder there are skeptics. Many Michigan men appreciate this. They raise their voices with no uncertain sound Want friends and neighbors to know about it. Know what Doan's Kidney Pills are. And appreciate the merits of a good thing. These words of praise come from Battle Creek. Mr. P. C. Terry, of Terry •& Son. grocers. 408 Cherry s t , Bettie Creek, says over his own signature: "Mine was the regulation kidney trouble and 'bad back' with which so many suffer; it has troubled me for a number of years, coming on me by spells, and sometimes very bad. I would be so lame that it would leave the impression that I had been hurt; could hardly drag- myself around.

Immediately the union printers of the state began a vigorous kicking, sending written protests and capable delegations to the state auditors, which caused the matter to be delayed, but finally the auditore decided to compromise by a w a r d i n g the prin tm g contract to the Robt. Smith Printi n g Co., of Lansing, who have done t h e work for several years, and the bindi n g to the Battle Creek concern. B u t this plan does not please any of the parties.

Cavalgnac for an explanation of the government's motives for suppressi n g the particulars of the Dreyfus* court martial. The demands were w i t h d r a w n w h e n the premier explained t h a t the information could n o t be g i v e n w i t h o u t danger of international complications. This caused g r e a t e x c i t e m e n t in the house, and M. Jaures, the socialist leader, reintroduced M. Cavalgnac's interpellation of the g o v e r n m e n t M. Jaures charactized as "lies" the "incomplete charges" filed in the prosecution of Zola. \ M . Deborn is, conservative, accused M. Jaures of being the spokesman of the "Dreyfus syndicate." t o w h i c h M. Jaures replied: "You are a scoundrel and a coward." M. Deborn is thereupon made a rush toward the tribune, but h e was seized by several socialists and a series of fights ensued, during which M. De born is f o u g h t his way to the tribune and struck M. Jaures. The conservatives and socialists charged the platform and the m e l e e became general, w i t h fighting and shouting on a l l sides. The president of the chamber, b e i n g powerless to restore order, left thv* chair, and called in t h e soldiers. A f e w minutes later the order was g i v e n to clear the tribune, amidst the greatest e x c i t e m e n t .

These reports are not borne o u t by surrounding circumstances, h o w e v e r , and there are indications t h a t the decision to send the Maine to Havana w a s in response to a direct request from Consul-General Lee.

T h e f o l l o w i n g day another dispatch led the President to call Secretary of the Navy Long, Assistant Secretary of State Day and Gen. Miles into a consultation after w h i c h the Spanish minister, Senor De Lome .was called and informed that the Maine had been s e n t t o Havana. When the Maine arrived at H a v a n a she w a s saluted by the forts and war vessels. Shortly afterward L i e u t Albert Medrano, representing the captain of the port.

AT. new row, e x INTERNATIONAL CHAPTER IX.—(Contiaued.) "You frighten me," she cried, trembling still. "And I am so alone now. I used to have Auntie. I could have borne anything then, but now I feel like a poor little rudderless boat going out to an unknown sea." "Not rudderless while I live," he replied tenderly. "Well, Dorothy, my darling, I may as well make a clean breast of the worst at once and get it over. Don't be frightened, dear, but my name Is not Harris at all." "Dick!" she cried, then sat staring at him as if she could not believe her own ears. "Dick!" "Yes, I know. But wait till you hear all, dear, and then you will see that it was not my fault, to begin with, and that I never meant really to deceive either of you." And then he told her everything— how Lady Jane must have mistaken him for his friend Haines; how unconscious he had been that the mistake had been made until she—Dorothy, that is—had called him Mr. Harris; how that fellow Stevenson had passed just as she spoke, and he had forgotten until he got back to Lady Jane's, nearly, that he had parted from her leaving her under a wrong impression about, him; how, oddly enough, almost the same thing had happened at Lady Jane's. Then he told her all about his uncle's- letter—gave it to her to read, in fact—and told her how he had come to call on Miss Dimsdale, and had been prevented from giving his real name to Barbara by Dorothy's coming to meet him and introducing him to her aunt as "Mr. Harris," and, finally, how he let the mistake pass, feeling that the whole situation was a very awkward one for him, but having always the full intention of making a clean breast of it to Miss Dimsdale sooner or later. "And the fact was," he ended, half apologetically, "I thought if you both got to like me you wouldn't care whether my name was Tom, Dick or Harry." "But It is Dick?" ehe cried quite piteously. "It is Dick—Dick Aylmer, at my darling's service," he answered, "and, after all, Aylmer Is a better name than Harris any day." , '*And you will be Lord Aylmer One -day!" sh^sa4dT-her-aoft^yflS_ filled with wonder to think of it.

"Miss Dorothy," said Barbara, sniffing, "I promise, but surely you know it isn't necessary." "No, Barbara, no," soothingly, "but it is best to say all first, isn't it?

"Oh, no, I was not thinking of that," she said. "I was only thinking how wonderful it was that you should want to marry me. But, Dick, what will your uncle say when he finds out about it?" "He will cut off my allowance promptly," Dick answered. "Oh, Dick!" she said. "Well, now, my darling, that is what I want to talk to you about You See, nobody about here, not even Ladjr Jane, knows me except as Harris, regiment vague. And if the old savage finds out that I am married he will make it a necessity for me to go to India, which X don't want to do if X can help R. But if you would consent to marry me privately under the name of Richard Harris, we should be perfectly safe, so long as you were not known by any of the people in the regiment--that Is, if you lived a mile or two away, or in the next town." "It would be quite legal?" said Dorothy, in a trembling voice. "It wonld be perfectly legal," he answered. "Oh, my dear!" he burst out, "do yon think I would be such a villain as to make a suggestion which would not be legal, while your aunt, who took care of you all her life, and who soft you In my charge, lay dead In the house? Listen—i have thought it all out. We shall be married, if you consent, as soon as we possibly can be. Barbara will witness the marriage, but will not know my real name. I will at once make a deed declaring that I was married on such a day, under the name of Harris, and leave it sealed in some place of safety, so that there can never be any trouble about the identification of the Richard Harris who was married to Dorothy Strode. We will tell Barbara that it is necessary the marriage should be kept secret for a time, and she will live with you and take care of you when I am absent. There, that is my idea, I know that it is a great sacrifice to ask of you, and I hardly like to ask it, but you see I am in this old savage's hands, so to speak. Then, on the other hand, if you don't feel that you ought to do this, or that your aunt would have objected very strongly to it, I will write at once and tefl Lord Aylmer what I have done, and he must make himself as disagreeable as he pleases. Only, my dearest, that will mean India." "Dick, dear," said Dorothy, slipping her hand within his, " we will be marrled privately. I don't think Auntie would have minded a bit. U she knew a thing was right, she never cared what the world had to say about i t / \ surely the dear mistress never let him get round her to that extent?" "No, no." cried Dorothy, "but Auntie had to sell the Hall to somebody, and she sold it to David, and I never knew it till he told mejyesterday." "Then I think, Miss Dorothy," cried Barbara, in dignified disgust, "that he might have had the decency to wait a day or two before he told you." "No, Barbara, you are too hard on David. He has been very kind and considerate to me—most kind and considerate, indeed. But he just had to tell me, he couldn't very well help himself. Of course, he does not want to turn us out—he—he wouldn't mind if we stopped here for7 years; but then, you see, Barbara, I 'am engaged to Mr. Harris, and—and this no place for me." "Does Mr. David know?" Barbara inquired. "Not yet; and that is what I wanted to tell you. You see, Barbara, Mr. Harris is very awkwardly placed. He has a relation who insists that he does not get married because he would not marry some rich girl or other that they wanted him to marry. And, of course, he wants to marry me, and he means to." "Yes?" said Barbara, intensely inter es-ted in this very romantic situation. "Yes, Miss Dorothy; well?" "Well. Barbara dear, we are going to be married quietly," said Dorothy, edging her chair a trifle nearer to the elderly woman's chair, "without letting anybody know;, do you see?** "Without any of the folk round about knowing?" Barbara asked. "Just so. It won't be for always, you know, Barbara—only until Dick comes Into his property; and he hasnt asked me to do anything but exactly what he had made up his mind to explain to Auntie, and ask her to giro her consent to. And I feel sure she would have done so, dear Auntie, for she did get so fond of Dick.** "Yes, she did," Barbara agreed. "But Miss Dorothy, you are sure it will be done properly—that you'll be married in church and have your lines, and all that?" "You are to see me married, Barbara." Dorothy answered, simply; "Mr. Harris says so." And after that Barbara gam her eonsent, so to speak, and promised to be true to her trust and stand by dear Miss Dorothy as long as she'livid. "I think the dear mistress would be glad if she knew. Miss Dorothy." •Wis did know, Barbara," said Dorothy, with a tender emtio shining through bar tears. So the two sat together for a long time, talking long, and now and then weeping as some word brought back the memory of their loss. And Dorothy told the faithful servant all the plans that Dick and she had made for the strange and almost unknown future, which seemed so terrible to her who had lived all her life—air that she could remember, at least—under the same roof and guarded by the same tender care. It was so sad to have so little joy In her engagement and her coming marriage, and yet, "You mustn't think that I don't, Jove Dick," she cried to Barbara, when she had another passionate burst of grief over the dead woman lying above. "I do love him with all my heart, and I know that I shall be quite, quite happy by-and-by. But it is all so sudden, so strange and new; everything is going from me at one stroke, and after we go away from Graveleigh I eh»U have nothing but you to remind me of the past at all.

"Besides, Lorna never did belong to the mistress. Her ladyship gave her to you^the dear mistress had naught to do in the matter. Then, Miss Dorothy, dear, aren't you going to tell her ladyship about it?" "Lady Jane last of anybody," dried Barbara—"last of anybody." "I see," said Barbara, with an air of wisdom; but all the same, Barbara did not see anything.

One of these delegates who was sent to Western Canada says: "In undertaking to give a description I fear I shall not be able to give it justice, for 1 hardly know where to begin or when to end. For a plea for my judgment,, X will assume, for an illustration, the experience of a man who went from place to place in search of a wife, and finding so many of good qualities an$ attractions, was unable' to' determine which to choose, so in looking for> a home in Western Canada I like t h i country well, and two of my boys arav going this fall (they have since gone and each has a homestead), where I. am satisfied they will do well.

On all sides we see innumerable stacks of grain, proving beyond doubt the fertility of the soil On either side of the track can be seen in addition to the grain herds of cattle, horses and flocks of sheep. I have traveled over a great portion of the Western states and I have seen nothing to compare with this country. One hundred and sixty acres of land are given free to actual settlers, and I saw cases Where as high as $20 per acre nad been cleared in one year. I do pot wish to advise anyone, but as for myself I shall leave as soon as I can arrange my affairs."

So, between her dislike of David Stevenson and DorotHy's promise and Mr. Harris' wish that she should seejthe marriage take place, Barbara graciously gave her sanction to the private union, and did not try to place any obstacles in the young folks' way. CHAPTER XI. I S S DIMSDALE was laid aWay in Graveleigh churchyard three days lat e r . Everyone, high, low, rich and poor for several miles around the Hall, came to pay the last token of affection and respect to her, and bitter were the tears that fell that day for the just and kind friend who was gone. Naturally a good deal of curiosity was felt about Dorothy's future, and many were the speculations as to whether she would remain at the Hall alone with Miss Barbara or whether she would eventually decide to go to Holroyd, or to take the good-looking officer who had been so frequent a visitor at the Hall for three months past With regard to Dick, there was almost a quarrel, for Dorothy, as a mattor of course^ had invited him to the funeral, as indeed she had asked all her aunt's friends who would be likely to attend tt. Now, Dorothy had not a relation in the world, excepting one cousin, at that time wintering In Egypt, and therefore unable to attend the ceremony. She did not enter the largo drawing-room until the last moment before starting, and than only spoke a few words to those nearest the door. And when the time came for thorn to go, David Stevenson came forward, and, with a very authoritative air, solely due to the presence of his rival offered Dorothy his arm. (To be continued.)

It spread down ray legs to my feet, and I was bloated from my waist down, so badly that I could not pull my pants, over my legs, and I had to open my shoes fully two inches before I could get them on. Even my face became puffed up; and my whole system seemed affected. I could hardly drag myself upstairs to unlock my men. I consulted a physician, one of the best in the city. He said the swelling was caused by an irritation of the kidneys, and I commenced treatment with him. ButI seemed to be getting worse. .1 was strongly urged by a friend to try Doana Kidney Fills, and I nnafiy consented. After the first week I to see a change, and felt This was eotxrarsging, and I their use.

B u t few farmers appear to be t a k i n g this view of t h e case. A good s u p p l y of ice, next to a good supply of water, is one of the greatest and most needfut luxuries of life, and fortunately a supply costs almost n o t h i n g to t h e farmer who can do his own work a n d h a u l i n g .

The following question was chosen for discussion for the next meeting: "My Failures and Blunders and What 1 think Caused Them.11 The question will be taken up by each member and he will try to tell in what manner be failed with any crop and suggest a remedy. The meeting adjourned at four o'clock to meet the last Saturday in February at the home of J. W. Placeway. It was suggested that J. W. lock up his cider barrel before the club arrived as some might want to test it to see if it would make pure cider vinegar. Everyone enjoyed the meeting and will be glad when the time comes to meet with the senator a tram.

A.ND»IWS, Publisher PINCKNEY, MICHIGAN If the pension list Is increased during the next five years as it ha* been during the last thirty the government will go bankrupt through its debt of gratitude and wonder what else It was «ver saved for. The girls of a town in Illinois will play football. They will practice in short dresses and play in bloomers. The society and the church of the town are up in arms against this masculinity; but the girls will probably have their own way until they have murdered each other to the last girl. For, of course, having decided to play the manly game, they will play it only as men do. A iflaii will be more grieved for the loss ox & desired object than he could have been pleased with the enjoyment of It; for though the presence of a n imaginary good does not always make us happy, the absence of it may make us miserable; because In the enjoyment of an object we only find that share of pleasure which It is capable of giving us, but In the absence of it we do not proportion our grief to the real value it bears, but to the value our fancies and imaginations set upon Here is a straight tip from a newspaper called Brains. It says there is but one right way to advertise, and that Is to hammer your name, your occupation, your business so constantly, so persistently, so thoroughly into the people's heads that if they walk in their sleep they will constantly turn their steps toward your store. The newspaper is your friend In spite of your criticism. It helps to build up the community that supports you. When the day comes that the newspapers are dead the people are on the edge of the grave with nobody to write the epitaph. It a stomach be not indispensable may not the time come when the scourge of dyspepsia shall be practically unknown? With the abolition of dyspepsia the heresy hunter would find his occupation a thankless one; the unfair critic would leave his bludgeon and coo like a dove; the policeman and the west side conductor would cultivate a memory and the motorman would stop at street crossings in wet weather; the preacher would study St. John more than Jeremiah; cab drivers would consider the rights of pedestrians; even poets would be tolerated as harmless; the anarchist orator would have to earn his living; the demagogue would be out of a job. When the unemployed can become not only self-supporting but wealthproducing, the hardest problem of civilization will be In a fair way to be solved. The colony of Victoria, Australia, has brought about both results by establishing village settlements near swamp lands, and maintaining the settlers while they reclaimed the waste and raised a first crop. Twentyfive hundred families that once were homeless now live In comfort on these formerly worthless lands—and the to" crease in the value of the reclaimed tract has more than covered the government's expenditure. Over such an achievement, philanthropy and finance, who should be better friends than they are, are fully justified In shaking hands. Germans are adopting American machinery for their manufactories and American Ideas as well. The English manufacturer proclaims boldly—probably for the effect It may have upon his workmen—that if he cannot adopt American machinery and methods in Great Britain he will have to shut up shop. The Germans and English may be able to compete with each other with the aid of American machinery and they may be able to excel all the world save this great country from which they are drawing new inspirations. But they cannot go the American pace. Having caught up with them we will pass them—distance them, perhaps— for in all the world there is no such combination of excellence as in these United States of America. TALMAGE'S J S S R M O N . mm ONLY A LITTLE HONEY LA»T SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. *I DM bat Tait* a l i t t l e Hoaey with the Bad of the Rod That TO a* In My Band, and.OLo, I Must Die."—I. Samuel 1 4 : « 8 . Unfortunate borrowers frequently pay such a debt two or three times over, in the form of interest, and then, failing once to yield their moatMy tribute, lose all the belongings of the home, from bed to cooking stove* It is therefore distinctly in line with its purposes that the Salvation Army should propose to open loan offices where a poor man may obtain money, in an emergency, without enslaving himself (or life to a "cutthroat mortgage." Seme churches have already taken the same step in practical Christianity. Since the business will, when honestly and considerately managed, yield a fair return op capital, there seems no good reason why philae- .thropists in every community should not suattft l o keep it out of the hands of scoundrels HE honey-be* It a most ingenious architect, a Christopher Wrenn among i n s ects; geometer drawing hexagons and pentagons, a freebooter robbing the fields of poll e n a n d a r o m a , wondrous creature of God whose biography, written by Huber and Swammerdam, Is an enchantment for any lover of nature. Virgil celebrated the bee in his fable of Aristaeus; and Moses, and Samuel, and David, and Solomon, and Jeremiah, and -EaekleJ, and St. John used the delicacies of bee manufacture as a Bible symbol. A miracle of formation is the bee: five eyes, two tongues, the outer having a sheath of protection, hairs on all sides of its tiny body to brush up the particles of flowers, its flight so straight that all the world knows of the beeline. The honey-comb is a palace such as no one but God could plan and the honey-bee construct; its.cells, sometimes a dormitory and sometimes a storehouse, and sometimes a cemetery. These winged toilers first make eight strips of wax, and by their antennae, which are to- them hammer, and chisel, am' square, and plumbline, fashion them for use. Two and two these workers shape the wall. If an accident happens, they put up buttresses of extra beams to remedy the damage. When about the year 1776 an Insect before unknown, in the night time attacked the bee-hives all over Europe, and the men who owned them were in vain trying to plan something to keep out the invader that was the terror of the bee-hives of the continent, it was found that everywhere the beeB arranged for their own protection, and built before the honeycombs an especial wall of wax with portholes through which '.he bees might go to and fro, but not large j enough to admit the winged combat- j ant, called the Sphinx Atropos. Corrupt literature, fascinating but i deathful, comes in this category. Where one good, honest, healthful book Is read now, there is a hundred made up of rhetorical trash consumed with avidity. When the boys on the cars come through with a pile of publications, look over the titles and noticeTHaTinne_ lnII^T_Teiri>Fllie "bookT" are injurious. All the way from here to Chicago or New Orleans notice that objectionable books dominate. Taste for pure literature is poisoned by this scum of the publishing house. Every book in which sin triumphs over virtue, or in which a glamour is thrown over dissipation, or which leaves you at its last line with less respect for the marriage institution and less abhorrence for the paramour, is a depression of your own moral character. The bookbindery may be attractive, and the plot dramatic and startling, and the style of writing sweet as the honey that Jonathan took up with his rod, but your best interests forbid it, your moral safety forbids, it, your God forbids it, and one taste of it may lead to such bad results that you may have to say at the close of the experiment, or at the close of a mlsimproved lifetime: "I did but taste a little honey with the rod that was in my hand, and, lo, I must die." One would suppose that men would take warning from some of the ominous names given to the intoxicants, and stand off from the devastating influence. You have noticed, for instance, that some of the restaurants are called "The Shades," typical of the fact that.it"puts a man's reputation in the shade, and his morals in the shade, and his prosperity In the shade, and his wife and children in the shade, and his Immortal destiny In the shade. Now, I find on some of the liquor signs in all our cities the words "Old Crow," mightily suggestive of the carcass and the filthy raven that swoops upon it. "Old Crow!" Men'and women without numbers slain of rum, but unburied, and this evil is pecking at their glased eyes, -and pecking at their bloated cheek, and peeking at their destroyed manhood an*d womanhood, thrusting beak and claw into the mortal remains of what was.once gloriously alive, but now morally dead. "Old Crow!" But alas! how aaany take no warning! They make me think of Caesar on. his way to assassination rearing nothing; though his'statue in the hall crashed into fragments at his feet, and a scroll containing the names of the conspirators was thrust into hit hands, yet walking light on to meet the dagger that was to take his life. This infatuation of strong drink is so might in many a man that, though his fortunes are crashing, and his health la crashing and his domestic Interests are crashing, and we hand him a long scroll containing the of perils that await him. he goes straight on to physical, KAd mental, and moral assassination. In proportion as any style of alcoholism it pleasant to your taste and stimulating to your nerves, and for a time iellghtful to all, your physical and mental constitution, is the peril awful. Remember Jonathan and the forbidden honey In the woods at Beth-aven. there Is a complete fascination, in games of hazard or the risking of money on possibilities. It seems as natural for them to bet as to eat. Indeed the hunger for food Is often overpowered by the hunger for wagers. It is absurd for those of us who have never felt the fascination of the wager to speak slightly of the temptation. It has slain a multitude of intellectual and moral giants, men and women stronger than' you or I. Down under Its power went glorious Oliver Goldsmith, and Gibbon, the famous historian, and Charles Fox, the renowned statesman.and in olden times, senators of the United States, who used to be as regularly at the gambling house all night as they were in the halls of legislation by day. Oh, the tragedies of the faro table! I know persons who began with a slight stake in a ladles' parlor, and ended with the suicide's pistol at Monte Carlo. They played with the square pieces of bone with black marks on them, not knowing that Satan was playing for their bones at the same time, and was sure to sweep all the stakes off on his side of the table. State legislatures have again and again sanctioned the mighty evil by passing laws in defense of race tracks, and many young men have lost ail their wages at such so-called "meetings." Every man who voted for such infamous bills has on his hands and forehead the blood of these souls. But in this connection some young converts say to me: "Is it right to play cards? Is there any harm In a game of whist or euchre? Well, I know good men who play whist and euchre, and other styles of games without any wagers. I had a friend who played cards with his wife and children and then at the close, said, "Come, now, let us have prayers." I will not judge other men's consciences, but I tell you that cards are to my mind so associated with the temporal and spiritual ruin of splendid young men, that I would as soon say to my family, "Come, let us have a game of cards," as I would go into a menagerie and say, "Come, let us have a game.of rattlesnake," or Into a cemetery, and sitting down by a marble slab, say to the gravediggers, "Come, let us have a game at skulls." Conscientious young ladies are silently saying, "Do you think card playing will do us any harm?" Perhaps not, but how will you feel If in the great day of eternity, when we are asked to give an account of our influence, some man should say, "I was introduced to games of chance in the year 1898 at your house, and I went on from that sport to something more exciting, and went on down until I lost my business, and lost my morals, and lost my soul, and these chains that you see on my wrists and feet are the chains of a gamester's doom, and I am on the way to a gambler's hell." Honey at the start, eternal catastrophe at the last. Stock gambling comes into the same catalogue. It must be very exhilarating to go into the stock market, and, depositing a small sum of money, run the chance of taking out a fortune. Many men are doing an honest and safe business jn the stock market, and you are an ignoramus if you do not know that It Is just as legitimate to deal in stocks as it is to deal in coffee, or sugar, or flour. But nearly all the outsiders who go there on a financial excursion lose all. The old spiders eat up the unsuspecting "flies. I had a friend who put his hand on his hip pocket and said in substance, "I have there the value of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars." His home is today penniless. What was the matter? Stock gambling. Of the vast majority who are victimized you hear not one word. One great stock firm goes down, and while columns of newspapers discuss their fraud or their disaster, and we are presented with their features and their biography. But where one such famous firm sinks, five hundred unknown men sink with them. The great steamer goes down, and all the little boats are swallowed in the same engulfment. Gambling is gambling, whether in stocks or breadstuffs, or dice, or race horse betting. Exhilaration at the start, but a raving brain, and a shattered nervous system, and a sacrificed property, and a destroyed soul at the last. Toung men, buy no lottery tickets, purchase no prise packages, bet on no base ball game or yacht racing, have no faith in luck, answer no mysterious circulars proposing great income for small investment, drive away the butxards that hover around our hotels trying to entrap strangers. Go out and make an honest living. Have God on your side, and be a candidate for heaven. Remember all the paths of sin are banked with flowers at the start, and there are plenty of helpful hands to fetch the gay charger to your door and hold the stirrup while you mount But further on the horse plunges to the bit in a slough inextricable. The best honey Is not like that which Jonathan took-on the end of the rod and brought to his lips, but that which God puts on the banqueting table of mercy, aUwAlch w * *f* »M in". vited to sit. I was reading'of a boy* among the mountains of Switzerland ascending a dangerous place with his father and the guides. The boy stopped on the edge of the cliff and said, "There is a flower I mean to get." "Come away from there," said the father, "you will fall off." "No," said he, "I must get that beautiful flower," and the guides rushed toward him to pull him back when, just as they heard him say, "I almost have it," he fell two thousand feet. Birds of prey were seen a few days after circling through the air and lowering gradually to' the place where the corpse lay. Why seek flowers off the edge of a precipice when you can walk knee-deep amid the full blooms of the very Paradise of God? When a man may sit at the King's banquet, why will he go down the steps and contend for the refuse and bones of a hound's kennel? Sweeter than honey and the honeycomb," says David, is the truth of God. "With honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee," says God to the recreant. Here is honey gathered from the blossoms of the trees of life, and with a rod made out of the wood of the Cross I dip it up for all your souls. The poet Hesiod tells of an ambrosia and a nectar, the drinking of which would make men live forever, and one sip of honey from the Eternal {took will give you eternal life with God. Come off the malarial levels of a sinful life. Come and live on the uplands of grace, where the vineyards sun themselves. "Oh, taste and see that the lord is gracious!" Be happy nov/ and happy forever. For those who take a different course the honey will turn to gall. For many things I have admired Percy Shelley, the great English poet, but I deplore the fact that it seemed a great sweetass to him to dishonor God. The poem "Queen Mab" has in it the maligning of the Deity. Shelley was impious enough to ask for Rowland Hill's Survey Chapel that he might renounce the Christian religion. He was in great glee against God and the truth. But he visited Italy, and one day on the Mediterranean with two friends in a boat which was twenty- four feet long he Was coming toward: shore when an hour's squall struck the water. A gentleman standing on shore through a glass saw many boats tossed in this squall, but all outrode the storm except one, in which Shelley and his two friends were sailing. That never came ashore, but the bodies of two of the occupants were washed up on the beach, one of them the poet. A funeral pvre was built on the «ea shore by some classic friends, and the two bodies were consumed. Poor Shelley! He would have no God while he lived, and I fear had no God when he died. "The Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish." Beware of the forbidden honey! FRENCH A CUKIOUS PEOPLE. They H a r t Vanity, bat Not Pride; Religion, b a t Mot Morality. "The French must be the most cu-^ rious people on earth," writes Lilian Bell In a letter from Paris to the Ladies* Home Journal. "How could even Heavenly ingenuity create a more uncommon or bewildering contradiction and combination? Make up your mind that they are as simple as children when you see their innocent picnicking along the boulevards and in the parks with their whole families, yet you dare not trust yourself to hear what they are saying. Believe that they are cynical, and fin de siecle, and skeptical of all women when you hear two men talk, and the next day you hear that one of them has shot himself on the grave of his sweetheart. Believe that politeness is the ruling characteristic of the country because a man kisses your hand when he takes Heave of you. But marry him, and no insult is too low for him to heap upon you. Believe that the French men are sympathetic because they laugh and cry openly at the theatre. But appeal to their chivalry, and they will rescue you from one discomfort only to offer you a worse. The French have sentimentality, but not sentiment. They have gallantry, but not chivalry. They have vanity, but not pride. They have religion, but not morality. They are a combination of the wildest extravagance and the strictest parsimony. . They cultivate the ground BO close to the railroad tracks that the trains almost run over their roses, and yet they leave a Place de la Concorde In the heart of the city." CHRONIC RHEUMATISM.

Producers of a Guaranteed Remedy Offer to Send Sample Bottles. "Five Drops" U. the name of a simple but effective l^medy for rheumatism, neuralgia,'asthma, and kindred ailments. The trade mark, "5 Drops," Is self-explanatory, as five drops is one dose. The manufacturers of "5 Drops" have thousands of letters from reliable peopie, who have been restored to health by the use of their remedy. Many of these letters have been published, and many more will be gladly sent upon application. Some weeks ago the producers of "5 Drops" offered to send a sample bottle, prepaid, for 25 eeats. They know even a sample bottle will convince any one of it* merits. They were so encouraged by the numerous responses to their first offer that they have decided to renew it for another 30 days. If you are a sufferer send this small amount, 25 cents, without fail today, to the Swanson Rheumatic Cure Co., 167-169 Dearborn st., Chicago. 111., and receive prepaid a sample bottle of "5 Drops."

THE CLARA SCHUMANN LADIES ORCHESTRA ENTERTAINED A CROWDED HOUSE. This combination of musical artists, seventeen in number, -from Boston, gaye a concert at the opera house, on Friday evening last. Tbe lecture association has tbe grateful thanks of the community for providing this en* tertainment, Notwithstanding the representation of being second to no musical organization of the kind proceeded the ladies, and our expectations pitched to the highest point, we were anticipating no such musical feast. The opera house, with a seating capacity of four hundred and twenty, was crowded to its upmost capacity, with an audience of six hundred people, many of whom drove a distance oMen to fifteen miles. Every member of tbe orchestra is an artist of the first class and each seemed ambitious to out do tbe others, if possible in rendering her part and pleasing the audience, and in tbis each seemed to be successful, for exclamations of "That was the best of all" were heard after each selection. While some of the music was of tbe "heavy" kind, nothing was tfiven that was not thoroughly relished and appreciated. The program opened with the "Detroit Journal March" after which the orchestra kindly respondended twice to an encore* The trombone and violin iolos by Oda Rudolph and Zita Mc Donough. respectively, were masterpieces of musical art. One of the most interesting numbers was "In the Clock Store" by the entire orchestra. The ticking of the various clocks was easily distinguished, after tbe clerk wound them up. Tbe effort produced when the various clocks be^an srriking the hours, was grand. After a clock "ran down," the clerk wound it attain, when sweet cathedral cuiim-s were heard far away. Mane Deiafontainu, soprano, sang "Saran Rose" ind an encore, and if any one present ever henrd sweeter singing, he had forgotten it. Two numbers on a harp were given wit beautiful effect A selection in which was heard a crying baby, followed by a good spankirig, captured every one. Another selection as an encore entitled "A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" was excellent although not new to the people in this vicinity. The concert closed with the "Stars and Stripes Forever."

William Poat, who lives seven rrA'i from Clare, has made a new bear-hum, ing record. Ho was examining a hu; . tree that had blown over with upturned roots, when a good-sized bear came out. Mr. Poat "plumed" him. No sooner had the echo of the shot died away, before another bear came from another side and a shot from the rifle soon silenced this one also. Mr. Poat thought he would get his game together and prepare to go home. As he attempted to extricate the first bear, another stuck his snout out. Mr. Poat grabbed his gun and with one shot laid No. 3 dead at his feet. He again began to pull one of the dead bears from the hole, when a gruff growl was was heard and one of the largest shebears ever seen there came out for a fight. The next moment she was dead. The whole butchery occupied less than $5 minutes and only four shots were fired. Fin* Residence Burned at Flint. A disastrous fire at Flint reduced to ashes the home of Frank M. Howard, just outside the city limits. The fire oaught in the upper story and when discovered by the family it had gained such headway that it was almost useless to attempt to quench the flames. The Flint fire department responded to a call, but there was no water to be had. The thermometer was below •«ero and the wind was sweeping a heavy gale from the northeast, blowing the fire and cinders toward the dairy house and stock barns. Good work upon the part of neighbors saved those buildings The furniture of the lower rooms were partially saved, but the dwelling house was completely ruined. The building was erected by the late Judge Sumner Howard at an expense of 925,000. Snow Prevented a Greater Conflagration. The most disastrous fire in the history of the village of Brooklyn commenced at 2:30 a. m. and eleven business places on the west side of the public square were wiped out of existence. The fire started in the bakery and grocery of George C. Ebbert, and spread with great rapidity to the ad- Joining buildings, which burned like inder, a n d ^ was soon evident the entire row of buildings mus The--, heat was so intense it cracked the glass in all the store windows on the opposite side of the square, and if the buildings had not all been covered with snow there would not be a dozen bwUVdings left in the village. There was much excitement and many narrow escapes but no one seriously injured. The total loss is 925,000. A Guilty Conscience. Fifteen years ago Mike Krupchak, now of Bessemer, purchased a railway ticket from George Beetie, then ticket agent at Embarras, Wis. In paying for it he gave. Mr. Beetie a $5 gold piece for a penny. Kvupchak has received a letter from Beetie as follows: "A long time ago you gave me, by mistake, when buying a ticket, a $3 gold piece for a penny. I feel that I did wrong by takmg it. The Bible tells us that we must return four for one wrongfully obtained. I therefore inclose you an express order for $20." Mr. Krupchak returned 815. saying: " I am just as honest as you are."

The blizzards which have raged throughout the northern states, causing serious blockuding of railway traffic in Michigan and oilier states, were particularly severe in eastern New York and New England. Boston probably got the worst dose, as the storm completely paralyzed all branches of business and street car and tram railway trathe and for a time shui off the city from communication by wire with all places outside the limits of Boston. The storm was the most severe Boston had experienced in 2f> years and caused the loss of several lives, besides causing hundreds of thousands of dollars dumage to property.

The fact that President McKinley was to be present and was to respond to a toast drew a large crowd to the banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, New York, which was the closing event of the big convention of the National Association of Manufacturers. The President first referred to the convention of the association at Cincinnati in 1895 when he, as the governor of Ohio, addressed them. He contrasted that time and the present, and reminded them that their thoughts were full of gloom then and that their chief aim was to stop their constant losses, while today trade has regained much of the loss and now their ambition is to reach for more extensive fields. He then spoke on the relation of the government to business, saying that national policies can encourage industry and commerce, but the people must project and carry them on. In speaking of the financial question the President said: "There is another duty resting upon the national government —'to coin money and to regulate the value thereof.' This duty requires that our government shall regulate the value of its money by the highest standards of commercial honesty and national honor. The money of the United States is and must forever be unquestioned and unassailable." President Dole Received at Washington President Dole, of Hawaii, arrived at Washington, and on behalf of the government was welcomed to the national capital by Secretary Sherman and Assistant Secretary Adee, who greeted President and Mrs. Dole and their party on their train.

Mr. Sherman offered his arm to Mrs. Dole and escorted her to President McKinley's carriage and the party proceeded to the Arlington hotel, where the Hawaiian executive will be the nation's guest President McKinley's call on Mr. Dole was entirely formal and did not last longer than 15 minutes Mr. Dole returned the visit of President McKinley. A Paragraphic Chroalcle of the Aote of the Nation's Lawmakers. The discussion on the Indian appropriation bill, which has passed the House, covered a wide range of subjects from silver to the Cuban question. Rep. llartman (Silver lie p.. Mont.) found occasion to denounce the conduct of the Republican party, lie declared that the majority of the House were mere puppets of Speaker Reed, and denounced the speaker as a tyrant. Mr. De Armond (Dem., Mo.) criticised the Cuban policy of the administration and with tine sarcasm, ridiculed the ofllcial explanation of the visit of the battleship Maine to Havana. Mr. Dolliver (Rep., la.) replied eloquently to both. He referred to the Cuban insurrection during the terms of President Grant and said that after seven years of responsibility, anxieties und worry, in a mes- «a«o to congress Grant vindicated the policy of this administration and gave the country warning that any intervention in the affairs of Cuba would not only be unwise but injurious. "For my part." said Mr. Dolliver, "I do not aspire to a larger patriotism than that which governed the ofllcial career of U. 8. Grant." In reference to the attack on Speaker Reed he said: "There is no authority that constrains the *Republican majority here except the policy of the Republican party and the administration of a Republican President. It is true we have a leadership in this House and I for one have often felt a sense of satisfaction that we have a leadership of brains and character that men may follow and follow without loss of s^lf-respect." Silver had an innings in the Senate. The Teller resolution, the debate upon which is considered as the preliminary lining up for the presidential battle of 1900, was passed after the discussion had continued for a week. It was at all times of an animated character and often assumed a strongly acrimonious phase. The resolution is a practical reaffirmation of that of Stanley Matthews in 1878 and is its follows: "That all the bonds of the United States, issued, or authorized to be issued under said acts of congress hereinbefore recited, are payable, principal and interest, at the option oT~U>e government of the United States, in silver dolof 2¼ lars of the coinage States, containing 41 of standard silver; and store to its coinage such as a legal tender bonds, principal the United grains each that to resilver coins in payment of said and interest, is not in violation of the derogation of the creditor." resolution majorities. 32.

The London Daily Mail says it learns from a source "hitherto accurate," that China is inclined to make the best possible bargains with Russia, whose diplomacy appears to have triumphed at Pekin, England, having resolved not to foroe a conflict by further opposing Russia's claims at Port Arthur and in the Liao-Tuug peninsula. Japan, says the Daily Mail's authority, "has been thrown into a state of consternation by the British backdown and has adopted a more friendly attitude toward Russia." 10,000 BuseU'n Troops Bound for China An Odessa correspondent says a volunteer fleet will convey" in the quickest time practicable over 10,000 Russians to the far east. ported it to the coinage of silver. The Teller resolution declaring bonds of the United States payable in silver, which had passed the Senate, was buried under an adverse majority of 50 votes in the House, the Republicans voting almost solidly against the proposition. The result was reached after five hours of debate tinder a special order. The majority, under the leadership of Mr. Dingley, whp made a carefully prepared speech sounding the keynote of the opposition, assumed the position that the last clause of the resolution was in reality a disguised declaration for the free coinage of silver, while the assaulting Democrats, under the direction of Mr. Bailey, maintained thi»t the defeat of the resolution would be another step in the direction of the establishment of the gold standard, to which they alleged both the President and Secretary Gage had irrevocably committed the Republican party. There were no sensational incidents beyond the hissing of Mr. Rhea, of Kentucky, when he said that as the author of the "crime of *73." the hottest place in hades would be reserved for the present secretary of state. The vote on the resolution was: Ayes, 132; nays, 182. At one day's session of the Senate two general appropriation bills—that for the army carrying $53,743,492 and that for the legislative, judicial and executive departments carrying $21,- 658,520—were passed. John M. McLaurra has l>een sworn in as Senator from South Carolina to fill the unexpired term of the late Sen^ ator Earle, which ends March 4, 1903. Senator Gallinger, chairman of the pension committee of the Senate reported adversely the bill introduced by Mr. Allen providing that all pensioners now receiving less "than $10 a month receive that amount after the bill's passage. Mr. Gallinger said that the whole number of pensioners affected by the proposed bill was 448,468 and the total annual increase in pensions would aggregate $16,286,000. The bill was placed on the calendar. Senator ' Petttgpew has introduced the following resolution: "That it is contrary to the interest, policy .and tradition of the people of the United States to acquire any territory so situated as to require a najry to protect it."

"By what right?" demanded David, In a bitter undertone. "By the right of Miss Strode's wish, sir," put in Dick, icily, "and in some measure by the right of having been the last person to whom Miss Dlmsdale spoke In this world, and in some measure by the right of having been one of the three persons who saw her die." It was all over in a minute or two, and only those standing very near to them heard a word at all. Dick took hold of Dorothy's hand and drew her out of fthe room, and the rest of the company followed as they would— David Stevenson among them, his head well up in the air, but his eyes gleaming with anger, and his face as white as chalk. However, it was useless to show anger about such a matter, and the incident passed by. And when the last sad office was over, the lar*;e company separated, only the lawyer from Colchester returning to the Hall to muke the usual explanations and to read ;he will to Dorothy. "And are you going to remain here for the present?" he asked the girl kindly. "Oh, no, I am going away at once," she answered. "But may I ask where?" he inquired. "Yes; we are going away, Barbara and I, for a change—I must get away; it is dreadful here. I hope I shall never come back again." "You will feel differently after a time," said the lawyer, kindly; he knew how things were with David Stevenson, though not what Dorothy's feelings towards him were. The three were alone then, Dick Aylmer having purposely abstained from appearing at the house after their return from the churchyard; he was, indeed, at that very moment, sitting by the fire in Barbara's little room at the back of the house. "Yes, perhaps, after a time," she answered feverishly. "But, Mr. Marks, I wanted to ask you a question—Mr. Stevenson told me that I should have about a thousand pounds?" "About that, I should think; but we cannot tell exactly until Miss Dimsdale's affairs are settled." "But will you get them settled at once? I want to have everything set-- tled," she said anxiously. "You see, I cannot arrange anything for myself until I know just how I stand, and I should like to know just what I shall be able to do as soon as possible." "Very well, we will hurry everything on as much as possible," said Mr. Marks to David; "Miss Dimsdale's affairs were in perfect order." "Oh! yes, It will be easy enough," said David; then as the lawyer was gathering his papers together, he said in an undertone to her: "You are very anxious to shake the dust of Graveleigh off your feet, Dorothy." The great tears welled into her eye*, and for a me meat she could not Best Route to Klondike 1 " • ' • " Only Personally Conducted Touri*t Excursion* to PORTLAND, ORE., run Via GREAT ROCK ISLAND ROUTE l e a v o C H l C / t C O T h u r s d a y s Good connections for TACOMA and S E A T T L E Wrrte for Rates and Klondike Polder.

During this time their banns were published in one of the churches at Bournemouth and also In a London church, in the pariah of which Dick engaged a room and put therein some of his belongings, so as to make himself a standing in the place. But Dick was only at Bournemouth for those two days, and twice when David Stevenson was in Colchester on business he happened to meet him in the street, not a little to his relief. And Mr. Marks meantime worked away, and, for a lawyer, really hurried things up in a wonderful way, so that by the time Dorothy's twenty-first birthday came everything was settled, and he was ready to hand over to her the money to which she was entitled under her aunt's will. Mr. Marks therefore wrote to her, telling her that he was ready to hand over to Barbara the sum of one hundred pounds; to her, Dorothy, a sum of thirteen hundred and forty-five pounds, the sum left over and above after all expenses had been paid. He asked her also when she and Barbara would be able to meet him and Mr. Stevenson, the executor of Miss Dimsdale's will. Dorothy replied at once that she would be in London two days later, and if it suited them both would meet them there—would he write to Mr. Morley's Hotel, to say if that would be convenient? And eventually they did meet at Morley's Hotel, and Dorothy and Barbara signed the necessary papers, heard the necessary explanations, and from that moment were absolutely free of all connection with Graveleigh for ever, if they so wished. "You will put that check into a proper bank," said Mr. Marks to Dorothy. "Yes," Dorothy answered, "It will go to the bank before three o'clock." "And remember, if at any time there is any little matter that I can do for you or any advice I can give you, you •ca'tt write to me as a friend, and I will always do my best for you," the old lawyer said. "Thank you so much," cried Dorothy, pressing his hand affectionately. The old man blinked his eyes a little,_ j>aJ^ejiMvej^jsJiojildj^^^ and then took himself rather noisily away, with a kindly hand-shake to Barbara. Then it was David's turn to say goodbye. "I wanted to tell you, Dorothy," he said, huskily, "that I bought the old cobs, as you wished, and they will have an easy berth in my stables as long as they live. And I wanted to tell you, too, that I meant every word of what I said to you the day after Miss Dimsdale died: If ever you want me you have only to say a single word and I shall come." "You are very good, David," said she, with trembling lips. "I don't know what you are going V do or what your plans are," he went on, "but I hope you will be happy, and that God will bless you, wherever you are and whatever you do;" and then he bent,down and kissed her little, slender hands, and, without looking at her again, rushed out of the room.

The result of all this was that, two days later, Dorothy and Barbara went oft to Bournemouth, accompanied by Lome Doone in a big basket, and there they remained, quietly and gradually recovering from the treat . shock of M I H Bamsdeles death. If t h e / were CHAPTER XII. OOR Dorothy fell sobbing into Barbara's arms. "Oh! Barbara, it is all s o d r e a d f u l ; it Is all so dreadful; it brings it all back again." she wailed. "Nay, nay, my »v dearie, think of what's going to be tomorrow," Barbara murmured, tenderly. "Don't grieve like this, my dearie; don't, now." "But I can't help grieving a little, Barbara," Dorothy cried, impatiently. "You forget what they have been all my life to me until just now. And Auntie wanted me to marry David almoBt to the last, and though I couldn't do that, he has been very kind and generous to me, and I hate not to be friends with him, after all. And then I meant to tell him a little about Elsie Oarrington, and then each time I've seen him I have felt so miserable and so guilty, Barbara, that I could have cried of shame. Yes, in-, deed, I could." "Well, but. my dearie, it's over now, and David Stevenson would not have been satisfied to have you friends with him. Men never are when they want love. And. after all, it wasn't your fault that you never liked David; I never could abide him myself, and I's* sure, Miss Dorothy, dear, that you detested him long enough before you ever set eyes on Mr. Harris." "But, Auntie—," Dorothy sobbed. "I'm sure the dear mistress was ths last one in all the world to have knowingly made you miserable about David Stevenson or any other gentleman on earth," Barbara answered, positively. "But what did you want to tell me about Miss Carrington, dearie?" "Elsie always liked him," Dbrothy began, when the old servant Interrupted her. "Nay, now, Miss Dorothy, take my advice and don't you be meddling between David Stevenson and Miss Carrington. They wouldn't either of them thank you for it if they knew It, and if you was to mention her name even it would set Mr. David against her forever.

"Perhaps you are right, Barbara," said Dorothy, a little comforted. "Ay, I am right there," said Barbara, wisely. Well, the next day Dick Aylmer came up from Colchester with all the deight of a long leave before him, and in the wildest and most joyous spirits, so that Dorothy was fairly infected by his gayety. That evening he took her and Barbara to dine at Simpson's, and then to a theater to finish up the evening. And the morning following that, Dorothy, dressed in a quiet gray, gown, with her silver belt around her waist, got into a cab with the old servant and drove to the church where their banns had been "cried," and there they met Dick, and the two were made man and wife. It was a very quiet and solemn wedding in the gloomy, empty church, with its dark, frowning galleries and its long, echoing aisles, down which their voices seemed to travel as into he ages of eternity. And then when the short ceremony was over—and oh: what a lifetime of mischief a clergyman can do in twenty minutes—Dick kissed his wife and then Dorothy kissed Barbara, and they all went in to sign the registers. "You'll have your lines, Miss Dorothy," urged Barbara. "No, they arg safe enough here," Dorothy replied. "But I wouJAphave them, my dear," Barbara e n t r M W in a whisper. "Yes, we wllr^have our lines," said Dick; he would agreed to have carried the church along if it would have given them pleasure, he was so happy just then.

KISSED HIS WIFE, lunch in a private room, and Dick drank to his bride's health and Dorothy drank to his, and Barbara drank to them both, and then insisted that the wine had got into her head. And after that they parted for a short time, Dorothy and Barbara going off t o Morley's to fetch their Luggage and pay their bill, and meeting Dick again with his belongings at Victoria Station, where they parted in earnest from Barbara, who was going to spend the two months with various friends and relations in or around London. "And Barbara, this will keep you going till we get back," said Dick, slipping twenty pounds into her hand. "But, Mr. Harris," cried Barbara, feeling that there were four notes, "it's too much; I shan't need it." "Take it while you can get it, Barbara,** he laughed; "I dare say we shall be desperately hard up by the time we get back again;", and then the train began to move, and he pushed her hand back. "Good-bye, you have the address: Mrs. Harris will write every week;" and then the train had slipped away beyond speaking distance. "Poor old Barbara!" she cried. Dick caught hold of her hand. "My darling, I have got you t i l to myself at last," be murmured passionately. They were soon away from London and off to Dover, for Dick had foreign leave, and they had agreed to spend the next two months by the sunny shores of the Mediterranean. (To be Continued.)

The Government furnishes the entire plant, puts it In and operates it without direct cost to the farmer From the sale of the butter the Government retains 5 cents per pound, the balance going to the farmer. This is continued for three years, when the government tarns over the plant and business to the farmers, giving them a clear Title of It, Thus these creameries are put i n at a minimum cost to the farmer and paid for in a way that he least feels it. When we were there butter was selling at 21 and 22 cents per pound. Cheese factories were being established. too, along the railroad ana much of the freight loaded on the cars on our return trip consisted of butter and cheese, as it was in the best season for milk. The produce found a ready market in the mining and lumbering towns and districts beyond the Rockies, through the British Columbia country, where it was, we were told, difficult to supply the demand." The Klondike is another field now open to the Western Canadian farmer for all produce of the farm, and the officials in the Department '& the Interior, Ottawa, Canada, art kept busy sending out literature describing this great agricultural country.

"Saved My Life" A VETERAN'S 9TORY. "Several years ago, while in Fort Snelling, Minn., I caught a seven cold, attended with & terrible cough, that allowed me no rest day or night. The -doctors after exhausting their remedies, pronounced my case hopeless, say. ing they could don* more for me. At this time a bottle of AYER'S C h erry Pectoral waft ^ sent to me by a friend who urged me to take it, which I did, and soon after,I was greatly relieved, and in a short time wa» completely cured.

" * TALMAGE'S SERMON. "MEN AND WOMEN NEEDED," LAST SUNDAY'S SUBJECT, " W h o K u o w e t h W h e t h e r T h o u Art Coiue to t h e Klufftloiu for Nuoli m Tlmu a i T a l i " — E i t h e r , Chapter IV. Vera* 14. ,^e * Moral beauty cannot co-exist with radical defects of principle. The character that is unable to resist temptation,' or vnviUIng to stick faithfully to duty, is uo more truly beautiful, •whatever be its generous impulses or amiable traits, than a figure which cannot support its own weight. Parts of it may be admirable; but, as a whole, a unity, it cannot be rightly called a beautiful character, for it lacks the foundation. Rev. Edith Booker is delivering a lecture through Kansas on "What Is a Man?" A man, dear Edith, is a tender, shrinking creature, whose wide I fawn eyes look out into the great whirl j about him with startled inquiry—an I Innocent, trusting dove, nestling upon ; the neck of a hard world—a sweet field , flower, lifting up its face for the sunahtne of your womanly affection. That i Is what a man is, Edith. You your- j self are the sturdy oak. Don't forget , that. Rational protests against legislative ! Invasions of personal liberty are never untimely. The disposition to run to the legislature for 'a law to cure evils j that are not to be cured in that way Is : a growing thing. In a vast majority 1 of instances a law to cure an evil affecting private persons causes graver faults than it is intended,to cure. It is nonsense to say officials will never take wrong advantage of unwarranted authority placed In their hands. Human nature has not changed in all the centuries and men are as ready to abuse or usurp authority now as, at any time in this world's history. The Manchester Guardian, which has the reputation of bein^g one of the best Informed of English journals, gives the world to understand that John Bull is still doing business at the same old stand, and proposes to protect his patents and copyrights, with his accustomed intelligence and vigor. All he demands now is that, If China Is hanged, drawn and quartered, he shall have a slice for every slice taken by every other power. For example, Germany grabs, then Eigland grabs as much; Russian takes something, then Fngland takes a portion: France absorbs a province, then England appropriates one equally as large and powerful. Good and healthy girls are almost always cheerful.. No novelist would consider his youthful heroine complete if a "ringing laugh" were omitted from the list of her charms; and in real life the girls who do not laugh now and then are seldom trusted or liked by their companions. Even beauty will not save them. A belle who fails to understand the jest of her admirers and smiles in amiable bewilderment while other people are laughing is soon left with no consolation save to wonder what anybody can see in her rival —a girl with "tip-tilted" nose perhaps, and a large mouth and freckles, but the happy possessor of a pair of merry eyes and a cheerful mind. The gift of gayety is indeed of great value; but i t must be gayety which originates in a kind and cheery heart, not that which is born of mere excitement or gratified vanity. STHER the beautiful was the wife of A h a s u e r u s the abominable. The tlmo had come for her to present a petition to her infamous husband in behalf of the Jewish natlon.to which she had once belonged. She was afraid to undertake the work, lest she should lose her own life; but her cousin, Mordecai, who had brought her up, encouraged her with the suggestion that probably she had been raised up of God for that peculiar mission. "Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Esther had her God-appointed work. You and I have ours. It is my business to tell you what style o{ men and women you ought to be rn order that you meet the demand of the age In which God has cast your lot. So this discourse will not deal wkh the technicalities, but only with the practicabilities. When two armies have rushed into, battle, the officers of either army do not want a philosophical discussion about the chemical properties of human Wood or the nature of gunpowder; they want some one to man the batteries and take out the guns. And now, when all the forces of light and darkness, of heaven and hell, have plunged into the fight, it is no time to give ourselves to the definitions and formulas and technicalities and conventionalities of religion. What we want is practical, earnest, concentrated, enthusiastic and triumphant hi In the first place, lnju?4er to nieet the special demand ,or this age,/ you need to be an unmistakable, aggressive Christian. Of half-aAd^aJfChfistians we do not want any moreT^The church of,Jesus Christ will be better without them. They are the chief obstacle to the church's advancement. I am speaking of another kind of Christian. All the appliances for your becoming an earnest Christian are at your hand, and there is a straight path for you into the broad daylight of God's forgiveness. You may this moment he the bondmen of the • world, and the next moment you may be princes of tbe.Lord God Almighty. You remember what excitement there was in this The dogs in the United States kill nearly 2 per cent of the sheep of the country every year. They killed more than 600,000 sheep in the year ending June 1, 1890, when the last statistics in regard to the flocks were gathered. The damage done by them is greater than that from any other cause except unexpected storms, in which whole flocks of sheep are killed, and disease. In six states more damage was done to the flocks of sheep by dogs'than by anything else. In Florida 9,833 •heep were killed by dogs, and only 4,750 by the weather and disease. The number killed by dogs was about 9 per cent of the total aumber of sheep in the state. The Florida sheep are not exposed to such changes in tempecsvtuve as those on the farms in Nevada, where 128,860 died of cold and disease. Only 7,372 sheep were killed by dogs in Nevada in the census year. The enormous number of deaths from changes In the weather was due t* unprecedented storms, which caught the breeders unprepared and almost halved their flocks. In South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Arkansas dogs do more damage to the sheep than anything else, and more than weather conditions and disease combined. In Massachusetts. Rhode Island and Connecticut the number of deaths in the flocks due to dogs is almost the same aa that due to disease and the weather. The record is almost at bad in all other states whew and sheep are country, years ago, when the Prince of Wales came here—how the people rushed out by hundreds of thousands to see him. Why? Because they expected that some day he would sit upon the throne of England. But what was all that honor compared with the honor to which God calls you—to be sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty; yea, to be queens and kings unto God. "They shall reign with him forever and forever." I was once amid the wonderful, bewitching cactus growths of North Carolina. I never was more bewildered with the beauty of flowers, and yet when I would take up one of these cactuseB and pull the leaves apart the beauty was all gone. You could hardly tell that it had ever been a flower. And there are a great many Christian people in this day just pulling apart their Christian experiences to see what there is in them, and there is nothing left in them. This style of self-examination is a damage instead of an advantage to their Christian character. I remember when I was a boy I used to have a small piece In the garden that I called my own, and I planted corn there, and every few days I would pull it up to see how fast It was growing. Now, there are a great many Christian people in this day whose self-examination merely amounts to the pulling up of that which they only yesterday or the day before planted. Oh, my friends, If you want to have a stalwart Christian character, plant It right out of doors in the great field of Christian usefulness, and though storms may come upon it, and though the hot sun of trial may try to consume it, it will thrive until it becomes a great tree, in which the fowls of heaven may have their habitation. I have no patience with these flower-pot Christians. They keep themselves under shelter, and all tteir Christian experience in a small, exclusive circle, when they ought to plant it In the great garden of the Lord, so that the whole atmosphere could be aromatic with their Christian usefulness. What we want in the church ot God is more strength of piety. The century plant if wonderfully suggestive and wonderfully beautiful, but I never look at it without thinking of its parsimony. It lets whole generations go by before it puts forth one blossom; so I have really more admiration when I see the dewy tears fa the blue eyes of the violets, for they come every spring. My Christian friends, time is going by so rapidly that we can not afford to be Idle. Agaltt. if you want to be qualified to meet the duties which this age demands of you, you must, on one hand, avoid reckless iconoclasm, and, on the other hand, not stick too much to thlngBvbecause they are old. The air IB full of new plans, new projects, new theories of government, new theologies, and I am amazed to see how so many Christians want only novelty in order to recommend a thing to their confidence; and so they vacillate and swing to and fro, and they arc useless and they are unhappy. New plans—secular, ethical, philosophical, religious, cis-Atlantlc, trans-Atlantic — long enough to make a line reaching from the German universities to Great Salt Lake City. Ah, ray brother, do not take hold of a thing merely because it is new! Try It by the realities of the Judgment Day. But, on the other hand, do not adhere to anything merely because It is old. There is not a single enterprise of the church or the world but has sometime been scoffed at. There was a time when men derided even Bible societies, and when a few young men met In Massachusetts and organized the first missionary society ever organized In this country, there went laughter and ridicule all around the Christian church. They said the undertaking was preposterous. And so also the work of Jesus Christ was assailed. People cried out, "Who ever heard of such theories of ethica and government? Who ever noticed such a style of preaching as Jesus has?" Ezekiel had talked of mysterious wings and wheels. Here came a man from Capernaum and Gennessaret and He drew His Illustrations from the lakes, from the sand, from the mountain, from the lilies, from the cornstalks. How the Pharisees scoffed! How Herod derided! And this Jesus they plucked by the beard and they spat in His face, and they called Him "this fellow!" All the great enterprises in and out of the church have at times been scoffed at, and there have been a great multitude who have thought that the chariot of God's truth wptfld fall to pieces if it once got the ola rut. And so there are those who have no patience with anything like improvement in church architecture, or with anything like good, hearty, earnest church Binglng, and they deride any form of religious discussion which goes down walking among everyday men, rather than that which makes an excursion of rhetorical stilts. Oh, that the church of God would wake up to an adaptability of work! We must admit the simple fact that the churches of Jesus Christ in this day do not reach the great masses. There are fifty thousand people in Edinburgh v/ho never hear the Gospel. There are one million people in London who never hear the Gospel. The great majority of the inhabitants of -this capital coare~noT"under t h e l m 7 " mediate ministrations of Christ's truth, and the Church of God in this day, instead of being a place full of living epistles, known and read of all men, is more like a dead-letter postoffice. "But," say the people, "the world is going to be.converted; you must be patient; the kingdoms of this world are to become the kingdoms of Christ." NeVer, unless the church of Jesus Christ puts on more speed and energy. Instead of the church converting the world, the world is converting the church. Here is a great fortress. How shall it be taken? An army comes and sits around about it, cuts off the supplies, and says: "Now we will just wait until from exhaustion and starvation they will have to give up." Weeks and months, and perhaps a year pass along, anfck-nnally the fortress surrenders through that starvation and exhaustion.VBytft, my friends, ftie fortresses of sin are never to be taken in that way. If they are taken for God it will be by storm; you will have to bring up the greaC siege guns of the Gospel to the very wall and wheel the flying artilleryjjnw line, and when the armed infantry of heaven shall confront the battlements you will have to give the quick command: "Forward! Charger Ah, my friends, there is work for you to do and for me to do in order to this grand accomplishment. I have a pulpit. I preach in it. Your pulpit is the bank. Your pulpit is the store. Your pulpit is the editorial chair. Your pulpit is the anvil. Your pulpit is the house of scaffolding. You pulpit is the mechanics' shop. I may stand in my place and, through cowardice or through self-seeking, may keep back the word I ought to utter; while you, with sleeve rolled up and brow besweated with toil, may utter the word that will jar the foundataions of heaven with the shout of a great victory. Oh, that we might' all feel that the Lord Almighty is putting upon us the hands of ordination! I tell you, every one, go forth and preach this Gospel. You have as much right to preach as I have or any man living. Hedley Vicars was a wicked man in the English army. The grace of God came to him. He became an earnest and eminent Christian. They scoffed at him and said: "You are a hypocrite, you are as bad as ever you were." Still he kept his faith In Christ, and after a while, finding that they could not turn him aside by calling him a hypocrite, they said to b'm: "Oh, you 1 am nothing but a Methodist!" Thli did not disturb him. He went on per forming his Christian duty until h« had formed all his troops Into a Bible class, and the whole encampment waB shaken with the presence of God. So Havelock went Into the heathen temple in India while the EngliBh army was there and put a candle into the hand of each of the heathen gods thai stood around in the heathen temple, and. by the light of those candles held up by the idols Gen. Havelock preached righteousness, temperance, and Judgment to come. And who will isay on earth or in heaven that Havelock had not the right to preach? In the minister's house where I prepared for college there worked a man by tin. name of Peter Croy. He could neither read ^dr^write, but he was a man ol God. Often theologians would stop in the house—grave theologians—and at family prayer Peter Croy would be called upon to lead; and all those wise men sat around, wonder-struck at his religious efficiency. When he prayed he reached up and seemed to take hold of the very throne of the Almighty, and he talked with God until the very heavens were bowed down into the sitting-room. Oh, if I were dying I would rather have plain Peter Croy kneel by my bedside and commend my immortal spirit to God than the greatest archbishop arrayed in costly canonicals. Go preach this Uot-pel. You say you are not licensed. In the name of the Lord Almighty, 1 license you. Go preach this Gospel, preach it in the Sabbath schools, in the prayer-meetings, in the highways, in the hedges. Woe be unto you if yon preach it not! I prepare this sermon because I want to encourage all Christian workers in every possible department. Hosts of the living God, march on! march on! His spirit will bless you. His shield will defend you. His sword will strike for you. March on! march on! The despotisms will fall, and paganism will burn Its Idols, and Mahometanism will give up its false prophet, and the great walls of superstition will come down In thunder and wreck at the long loud blast of the Gospel trumpet. March on! march on! The besiegement will soon be ended. Only a few more steps on the long way; only a few more Bturdy blows; only a few more battle cries, then God will put the laurels upon your brow, and from the living foundation of heaven will bathe off the sweat and the heat and the dust of the con- , tlict. March on! march on! For you the time for work will soon be passed, and amid the outfiashings o£ the judgment throne and the trumpeting of resurrection angels and the upheaving of a world of graves, and the hosanna and the groaning of the saved and the lost, we shall be rewarded for our faithfulness or punished tor our Htupldity.

Probably Saved H CoHjcrfgatioin froao Panic and I.) I Hunter. Already vastly popular with his congregation, Rev. Arthur Wellwood of Brooklyn, raised himself still higher in general estimation on a recent Sunday, when his coolness in the presence of danger probably averted a wild stampede from the Church of the Incarnation. Although there were indications of impending disaster, the people, acting upon his advice, filed out of the church in an orderly manner to find a fire engine pouring water into the cellar through a front window. Shortly after 11 .o'clock smoke began to pour up through the registers. The assistant pastor, Rev. Arthur Wellwood, went down to the cellar to see if the furnace was smoking. He was alarmed to find the cellar full of smoke, so dense that he could not go inside. He ran out and turned in an alarm. Then he walked rapidly up the aisle, and after whispering to the officiating clergyman, said aloud: "The furnace seems to be smoking worse than usual. I think the congregation had better retire to allow us to open the windows." The people, assured by his calmness, retired In good order, but became somewhat alarmed when they saw the engines and firemen in the street. ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKA? I t A p p l i e d t o B o t h . Mr. Justice Maule once went on circuit with Judge Coler;idge in a part of the country where the high sheriff was a shy and modest man and very much alarmed at having to entertain his cynical lordship. Coming home in his coach with the two judges, he thought it his duty to make conversation for them. He observed that he hoped there would be better weather, as the moon had changed. "And are you such a fool, Mr. JoneB, as to imagine that the moon has any effect on the weather?" said Maule. "Really, Brother Maule," said Coleridge, who was politeness Itself, "you are very hard upon our friend. For my part, I think the moon has a considerable effect upon it." "Then." said Maule, "you are as great a fool as Jones is." After which conversation in the sheriff's carriage languished.—Rochester Democrat and Recorder. Home R«u.ulrein«uta T h a t Will He r o u n d ludUpcuaable. The universal article of diet in that country, depended upon and indispensable, is bread or biscuit. And to make the bread and biscuit, either in the camp or upon the trail, yenst cannot be used—it must be baking powder; and the^ powder •manufactured by the processes of the Royal Baiting Powder Company, miners unci prospectors have learned, is the only one which wMU stand In that peculiar climate of eold and dampness and raise the hvvjfii and bi'«uit satisfactorily. These facts are very important for every one proposing to go to Alaska and the Yukon country to know, for should he be persuaded by some outfitter to take one of the cheap brands of baking powder, it will cost just as much to transport It, and then when he opens it for use, after all his labor in packing It over the long and difficult route, he will find a solid caked,mass or a lot of spoiled powder, with no strength and useless. Such a mistake might lead to the most serious results. Alaska is no place in which to experiment in food, or try to economize with your stomuch. For "use In such a climate, and under the trying and fatiguing conditions of life and labor in that country, everything must be the best and most useful, mid above all It is imperative that all food supplies shall have perfect keeping qualities. It Is absurd to convey over s'ich difficult and expensive routes an article that will deteriorate in transit, or that will be found when required for use to have lost a great part o; its value. There is no better guide to follow in these matters than the advice of those who have gone through similar experience. Mr. McQuesten, who is called "the father of Alaska," after an experience of years upon the trail, in the camp, and in the use of every kind of supply, say3: "We find in Alaska that the Importance of a proper kind of baking powder cannot be overestimated. A miner with a can of bad baking powder is almost helpless In Alaska. We have tried all sorts, and have been obliged to settle down to use nothing but the Royal. It is stronger and carries further at first, but above all things, it is the only powder that will endure the severe climatic changes of the arctic region." It is for the same reasons that the United States government in Its relief expeditions, and Peary, the famous arctic traveler, have carried the Royal Baking Powder exclusively. The Royal Baking Powder will not cake nor lose its strength either on board ship or in damp climates, and is the most highly concentrated and efficient of leavening agents. Hence it 1» Indispensable to every Alaskan outfitr Ifcr can be ttftd" ol ffiy :04 the trading cbmpAnJ.ejL in ' Alaska, but should the ntfn^r procure his supplies before leaving* he should r&IS*1 evefy attempt of the outfitter to palm off upon him any of the other brands of baking powder, for they will spoil and prove the cause of great disappointment and trouble. PEDDLERS IN MEXICO. Why an Old W o m a n Wouldn't Sell All Her H o n e y a t One Time. "While traveling, in Mexico a few years ago I had a funny experience with a Mexican vender which goes to show what little business ability the lower classes have," said E. F. Guignon of St. Louis. "I was en route to look at some mines away up In the mountains. At the station where we left the train to take the stage I saw an old woman selling some honey. She did not have more than ten pounds of It altogether and as it looked so good I wanted to buy it all to tak- along with us. I asked our Interpreter to buy it Much to my surprise the old woman would sell him but two boxes, claiming that if she sold it all to him she would have nothing to sell to other people, neither would she have anything else to do during the remainder of the d a y r PADS IN fLOWERS.

The record of the remedy is without a rival,—a record that is written in the blood of thousands, purified by its power.

I doctored for a long time, both by external application and with various blood medicines; but in spite of all that I could do, the lores would not heal. A t last I purchased six bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, thinking I would give it a thorough trial. Before the six bottles had been taken, the ulcers were healed, the skin sound and natural, and my health better than it bad been for years. I have been well ever since.

F A I L E D . a Could Not Bribe Gomes to Desert the Cuban Cause—Gomes' Bitter Latter. Capt.-Gen. Blanco left Havana for the purpose of t r y i n g t o meet the Cuban i n s u r g e n t cominaoder-iu-chief, Gomez, to see if he could n o t arrange terms of peace. Gomez had written to h i m he would t i v a t for independence w i t h him, und Llanco tried to ^ e t him t o a^ree to a u t o n o m y even at the expense of still larger concessions. He offered to pay Gomez a handsome sum t o leave the island and offered him u safe conduct to a n y port to which he should desire to go. Gomez' a n s w e r was characteristic a n d forcible. He said he w a s astounded t h a t Blanco should make such a dish o n e s t und disgraceful proposal to one w h o had spent 13 years fighting for Cuban independence and w h o for 30 y e a r s had cherished that ideal as the g r e a t e s t of h i s life. Gomez reminded B l a n c o of the base assassination of his son, Francisco Gomez, at the time Maceo w a s killed at Punta Brava, w h i l e under a flag of truce. " D o you t h i n k I can forgive that? Have you eAer been a father? - "Besides these considerations, which o u g h t to h a v e checked you in y o u r s h a m e f u l project, there is another, that is no less clear. I a m not in a position, Gen. Blanco, w h i c h requires t h a t I should be l o o k i n g for a steamer to take me from the island. You had better look for a s t e a m e r yourself, for of the t w o y o u need it the most. Up t o the p r e s e n t day I am on the winner's side." This rebuff led Blanco to leave Jucaro for Munzanillo on his way Jo Havana. I t is said t h a t he will make ano t h e r a t t e m p t to induce Gen. Jesus Rabi, in command of the i n s u r g e n t s in S a n t i a g o de Cuba, to surrender. Should h e return to Havana w i t h o u t h a v i n g induced the principal insurgent_chiefs t o surrender, autonomy, it is believed, w o u l d be considered a failure at Madrid, a conclusion t h a t would seriously affect the stability of the g o v e r n m e n t a t Havana, and at the home capital. Dispatches from Manzanillo confirm t h e reports that the insurgents have burned n e a r l y all the canefields of the plantations a l o n g the coast. T h e y n a v e also burned a large area on the plantation of Azopada at Mataozas and practically destroyed the t o w n of Tapaste.

Gov. l'lugree Wins HU Suit to Compel Railroad* to Sell Family Mileage Book* at » Cent* per MUe — Triple Railroad Fatality at Saginaw. Filigree Wins a Notable Victory. Gov. Pingree has won the first round of h i s fight with the Michigan Central Railroad Co. on the question of $20 mileage books, good for the family of t h e purchaser. In t h e governor's suit to compel the company to sell such books. Judge Donovan, of the Wayne circuit court, confirms the position taken by Gov. Pingree- and grants a mandamus to compel t h e railroads to comply with the mileage law of the legislature. In his decision ,1 udge Donovan discusses the case at length. In answer t o t h e plea of the railroad company t h a t the right to fix charges was given t o t h e company by the charter, he indorses the oon.tenjtaon of the complaina n t t h a t the charter only gave the r i g h t to fix rates by bylaws, and t h a t such bylaws must come under the police power, as with hack men, millers, Uquor dealers and others doing public business. By the word of the highest court in like cases in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan, the conclusion is irresistable t h a t only such charges can be collected as are allowed by the laws of t h e state. A Similar Case Against the Uallroad. Grove Wolcott, a prominent lawyer of Jackson sought to purchase a 1,000- mile ticket at the Jackson ticket office, good for himself and wife, he tendering $80" h r - p a y m e n t . He was—informed t h a t no such tickets were for sale.. Mr. Wolcott then bought and paid full price for a regular ticket to Roscommon, and on his r e t u r n brought suit against the Michigan Central railroad t o test the state law. The case was tried before Justice Woods and has resalted in a verdict for Wolcott, who was awarded 92.55, the difference in t h e cost of the ticket he purchased and the rate at 2 cents a mile. The Michigan Central will appeal. Mlchljfun Club i;iuujuet. The thirteenth anniversary banquet of the Michigan Club will be held in the Auditorum, Detroit, on Washington's birthday.

Three persons met a sudden and'violent death and a fourth was seriously injured while crossing the Michigan Central railroad t r a c k s in a sleigh at Sheridan avenue, Saginaw. The dead are: Thomas M. Stewart, a groceryman; Mrs. Elizabeth Moasner. aged 70, of Frankenmuth; Barbara Mossner, aged 26, of Frankenmuth. The fourth occupant of the sleigh, Mrs. Elizabeth Mahncke, also a daughter of Mrs. Mossner, had her right leg broken in three places, and probably received internal injuries. A passenger train from the east, running a t a rapid speed, struck the sleigh as it was fairly on t h e tracks, cutting it louse from the horse, leaving the animal to r u n down the street uninjured. The sleigh was broken into kindling wood. titewart was on his way to his store from delivering goods, and the three women had seated themselves in the sleigh for a ride towards home, not over 50 feet from t h e scene of the accident. Two boys stood near by and saw the rig slowly approaching the tracks and the rapidly moving train bearing down upon it. They shouted several times but t h e driver did not catch the warnings. The four were laughing as the sleigh and its occupants were sent whirling through the air. * Sugar Beet* a Success In Michigan. A bulletin giving t h e results of experimente in the raising of sugar beets in Michigan has been prepared by Profs. Kedzie and Smith of the Michigan Agricultural college. Seed was districuted in 68 counties and samples of beets have been received fgtfttn 64. The average per cent of sugar in beets, with proper soil and seed, is 16.40. T h e range of yields per acre last year was from 12 to 18 tons. The professors say t h a t the results show t h a t the climatic and soil conditions in Michigan are full of promise. T h e labor cost of growing an acre of sugar beets on the college farm, under adverse conditions was $29.40. The average yield per acre at the college farm w a s 10 tons and 328 pounds.

Lansing, the dead body of Roderique C. Lauzun, aged 25. was found in a large pool of blood with his head crushed almost to a pulp. Apparently he had been murdered with a *hatchet or a hammer. There were fractures of the skull both front and rear. One blow struck the right eye. both ears were split; and the occipital bone was badly broken.—The—walls and floor of the room were covered with blood. The motive for the crime was evidently robbery, as Lauzun's pocket book. open, bloodstained and empty was found. It in known t h a t the murdered man had exhibited a large roll of bills on several occasions, and nothing was found in his pockets. Lauzun had been leading a dissolute life, associating with gamblers and fast women.

The Kuropeau Powers Harmonious on the Question of China Cirabblug— Lawless Characters Causing a Ketgn of Terror at skaguay and Dye*. Powers Agreed on Chinese Question. In the British house of lords and in response to a speech by the earl of Kimberly, Premier Salisbury said t h a t England had Waived the demand t h a t Ta-Lien-Wan be made an open treaty port as a condition of the proposed loan, because China objected, until the railroad reached Ta-Lien-Wan w h e n it should be opened. The loan negotiations are still pending. The premier added: " I have received spontaneous assurances from the Russian government t h a t any port they open in China will be open to free commerce, and t h a t similar assurances have been made us by the German government respecting the territory they recently oecupied." Baron von Buelow, the German premier, in addressing the reichstag said: "Our relations with the powers were in no way disturbed by the occupation of , Kiao-Chau. We are in harmony with Russia, whose interests do not conflict w i t h ours anywhere in Europe, and are parallel with ours in Asia. As sincere friends we regard Russia's n a t u r a l development with unenvious sympathy—(cheers)—and France's efforts to obtain fresh trade outlets in Tonquin are quite natural, while It Is far from us to oppose England's just interests in any way or direction. We desire to cultivate relations of harmonious co-operation with Great Britain. (Renewed cheers). Our modest demands have neither menaced the integrity of China nor called for justifiable objections on her part." Baron von Buelow then proceeded to justify t h e acquisition of a point of support in eastern Asia as an absolute necessity, looking to Germany's rapidly growing interests in one of the richest markets of the, world for imports if she did not desire to become a second or third r a t e power in Asia, for every other power, even Portugal and the Netherlands, had territorial possessions there. A TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE. Eleven People Killed, 47 Missing and 10 Injured at a Pittsburg Fire. A fire of mysterious origin completely destroyed the large six-story cold storage plant of the Chautauqua Lake Ice Co., a t Pittsburg, within three hours. The structure was divided by three heavy fire walls into practically four buildings. The ice company had its ice m a k i n g plant and storage warehouses on the lower floors and the Union Storage LO. occupied the balance of the building with the stored property of innumerable householders and merchants, besides about 400 barrels of whisky in bond. When the tire reached the whisky the stuff exploded, blowing out t h e Mulberry alley wall with awful results. The alley was filled with firemen, policemen and reporters, arid many w e r e caught by the falling walls. The large warehouse of W. A. Hoeveler & Co., situated on Pike street, directly opposite"the Chautauqua Co.'s building was also destroyed. Until t h e fallen walls have been cleared away, there can be no certainty as to t h e number of victims, .but it is known t h a t 11 people are dead, 27 missing and 19 injured, and the property loss is 81,500,000. with about 81.000.000 insurance. l)e Lome Calls MrKinhy Hard Name* and Munt l.ettve the I'ulted Htates. 'Die representatives of the Cuban junta ut New'York have'given out cop» ies of a letter signed " E n r i q u e Duguy De Lome" who is minister of Spain at Washington and addressed, to Jose Canalojas, who went to Cuba last September as Premier Sugasta's personal representative. In this letter t h e Spanish minister refers to President Mc- Kinley as " w e a k and catering to t h e rabble," and as a "low politician, who desires to stand well with t h e jingoes of his party." Horatio L. Rubens, counsel for the Cuban J u n t a saysr "We know absolutely t h a t this letter Js genuine. A man risked his life to obtain it. We do not hesitate to acknowledge t h a t it wfcs stolen from Canalejas. I t is written on the paper of the legation. The handwriting is De Lome's and t h e signature is his. He may deny it until he is black in the face, but it is genuine and everybody who has seen it knows t h a t it is." S-v. The publication of De Lome's letter caused a sensation in official Washington and will undoubtedly soon be followed by Senor De Lome's departure from the United States. At t h e outset there was a disposition to question t h e authenticity of the letter, b u t as b i t by bit the circumstantial evidence accumulated, until it was finally announced officially t h a t the minister declined to deny the authorship of the letter, all doubt was dissipated and the only question that remained was as to the line of action to be pursued by our government toward the offending minister. The w r i t i n g of this letter is unquestionably an offense against t h e amenities of diplomatic relations, and such offenses almost invariably have been regarded in the United States, as in other countries, as sufficient ground for the termination of the official status of the letter writer. The state department has promptly taken hold of the matter. Assistant Secretary Day consulting President McKinley four times during the day,which resulted in a message being sent to U. S. Minister Woodford at Madrid directing him to lay the facts before t h e Spanish government together with the statement t h a t in view of the minister's refusal to deny the authorship of the letter the Spanish government is looked to with confidence to deal with the case properly. This amounts to an invitation to recall the minister, presuming t h a t he himself has not already taken steps to vacate his position. No doubt is entertained of a compliance with t h e implied suggestion, but in case there should be undue delay in acting the state department would feel called upon to move directly in t h e matter and give t h e minister his passports. Dr Lome Forced to Resign. Madrid: At a meeting of the Spanish cabinet, t h e minister for foreign affairs, Senor Gullon. read a dispatch from Senor Dupuy de Lome, t h e Spanish minister at Washington, saying t h a t the published letter to Senor Canalejas was written by him. and t h a t his position, consequently, had become untenable, a n d he begged t h e government to accept his resignation. The cabinet decided to accept the resignation, and it was decided to entrust the first secretary with the conduct of the current affairs of the legation. CUBAN MATTERS WARM1NQ UP. Mob Threatened to Lynch Zola. The trial of M. Zola, t h e famous French novelist, for his denunciation of t h e government in the conduct of the Dreyfus case and the Esterhazy courtmartial, resulted in serious rioting in which attempts were made to mob M. Zola. Count Esterhazy refused to appear in court and the judges refused t o force him t o do so. They also declined to allow certain questions asked by t h e M. Zola's attorneys. M. Casimir-Perier, t h e former president of t h e republic, appeared as a witness, b u t before t a k i n g the oath said t h a t he would not tell t h e truth. These pqints were all adverse to M. Zola who appealed t h a t he be accorded a t least as fair a trial as an assassin would be given. China Will Not Take a Loan. A Pekin correspondent says t h a t it is now understood t h a t China has given u p t h e idea of securing a loan from either Great Britain or Russia owing to their jealousy of each other. China will endeavor to obtain an extension of time for t h e payment of t h e Japanese war indemnity, and in t h e m e a n t i m e will authorize an issue of treasury bonds a t 5 per cent to t h e extent of 100,000,000 taels (878,000,000). Chinese bonds have not t h e very best reputation, however. , I Another Note Sent to Spain and a Vigor- ] ous Reply Received. Madrid: El Heraldo says t h a t Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, the United States minister, presented an official note to the Spanish government, to which Premier Sagasta reponded in vigorous terms. The Madrid correspondent of tj§e London Standard says: Senor Sagasta's response to the official note presented by Gen. Woodford, t h e United States minister, complains of filibustering expeditions and declares t h a t Spain cannot entertain the suggestion for fixing a date for her completion of t h e pacification of Cuba. Pessimistic impressions are now current regarding the relations between Spain and t h e Us>;ted States and have depressed t h e Madrid and Barcelona bourses, PublicjCeeling among all classes is strpng against America. A Washington special says; Premier Sagasta has declined t h e t h i r d o^fer of friendly mediation on t h e p a r t of t h e United States. This information was conveyed in a cipher message received from Minister Woodford b y President McKinley. The message was a- most unusual one. Instead of beinfef addressed t o t h e s e c r e t a r y o f a t a t e , i%, was addressed t o t h e President. This cablegram from Woodford was n o t long, b u t recited t h e fact t h a t Premier Sagasta refused t o admit t h a t Spain ha& reached the end of her rope in Cuba; t h a t she was unable to suppress t h e insmrrettion; t h a t autonomy was a failure; -Ory t h a t she needed the assistance of t h e United States in bringing' t h e Cuban struggle to an end.

There is not one portion of our organism that is 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 Iffo and digestion. The kidneys are consequently termed the sewerage of the system; clog up this sewer, ami the blood becomes tainted with poisonous uric acid, which brings on disease in many forms. The back is the first to show this stoppage. From" there comes the warning note; it should be heeded, and the kidneys receive prompt attention. Doan's Kidney Pills will right the action of the kidneys quickly, relieve the back of pains and aches, and cure all troubles of kidneys and bladder. Read the following: Mr. Wm. Nelson is a well-kaown business man of Kalamazoo, lie resides at 822 Portage Street, and his business is that of a grain buyer. He says: '' For five years I have suffered from an inability to urinate, which resulted from what was said to be a stoppage of the bladder. During these years I have taken mineral and electric baths and used other means in expectancy of getting better, but they all proved unavailing. Some months ago I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, which I had heard highly recommended, and I can now say that the flattering reports were not greater than they deserved. I got better right along, and I am free from any trouble s o w . I feel better than I have done for three years past,, If Doan's Kidney Pills were well known all over they would do an immense amount of good." Sold by all dealers—price, 60 cents.

I X m o n t h s had gone by—six glorious and blissfully happy months, during which Mr. and Mrs. Harris kept their secret well, and Dick w a s all the . world to his wife Dorothy. D u r i n g t w o of these m o n t h s they remained abroad, living in the smaller t o w n s o n the Riviera, seeking no interests beyond themselves, but leading a quiet, peaceful life of love, of which neither had become the least weary w h e n Dick's leave was up and it was time for him to go back to his duty. Now, as the 43d were still quartered at Colchester, it became a question of some importance for them to decide where Dorothy should take up her abode after this. Colchester or its immediate neighborhood was, of course, a n impossibility, as her whereabouts might at any moment be discovered, and also Dick's real name. Dick suggested that she might go to Chelmsford and take rooms there for the time; but Dorothy had stayed more than once in that sleepy little town, and it was therefore almost as impossible as Colchester itself. S o finall y they agreed that there was no place in the world like London in which to hide oneself and have a good time all the same, and therefore they CL.me back to town during the last week of Dick's leave, and they took a little flat i n Kensington, just where Dorothy and Barbara could get on very comfortably without any servant, and yet could be near to good shops and a tolerably lively street. "I'm afraid you'll be awfully dull, darling," he said to her when they had taken possession, and his last evening had come, "because, of course, you won't know any one, and you are not at all likely to get to k n o w people." "I shall have Barbara," said Dorothy, smiling bravely. ^ - N "Tea, you'll have BarbaraXbut C a r " bara won't be much company for you," he answered. "I do hate all this conc e a l m e n t I hate leaving you at all, and I h a t e having to live, as it were, on the sly, and I'm afraid always that some one you know or one of the fellows wilt be s e e i n g you, and that they may g e t hold of a wrong idea altogether, and—and—I sometimes feel as if I should like to kill that old savage at Aylmer's Field." "But, Dick dear, nobody will see me, and If they do they will think I am Dorothy Strode still. Remember, I don't know many people in all the world, and none of your officers know me at all, and if they happened to see me with you they wouldn't think anything of it. Really, I wouldn't worry about that if I were you, dearest, and as for my being dull—why, I am never dull. I never have been used to having more than one person at a t i m e - Auntie all my life and now you. I shall get on*splendidIy with Barbara, and I shall always be able to look forward to the days w h e n you will be coming home." "And I shall come like a bird whenever I get the ghost of a chance," he cried, tenderly. "And I," cried Dorothy, "am going to m a k e a study of gowns. I have always been used to m a k i n g my ordinary gowns, and I shall have lots of time, and I am going to begin as soon, as you are gone. I am going to make myself some beautiful tea-gowns; they will make me look married and dignified— they will make you respect me, sir," "But you don't want to look married and dignified,*' h e cried, half alarmed. "Suppose y o u meet some one you know, and—" "I shall not be wearing a tea-gown, Dick," cried Dorothy, with a gay laugh. "Ah! no, no, of course not," he answered, relieved. "All the same, though, did you not tell me the other day that you had a cousin somewhere or other?" "Oh, Esther! Fes, but she," carelessly, "she is in Egypt." "But, m y dear child, she won't be in E g y p t always," he rejoined; "and if s h e comes back to London, which she i s sure to do " "By no means, Dick," interrupted Dorothy, Quietly. "Esther is just as likely to g o off for the s u m m e r to New Zealand or Finland as to come to Lon- n And she would not specially me u p if she did eome here. She is beautiful and rich and very Independent i n her mind, but she is six years older than I a m and thinks very jltttla of family ties. In any case, supposing that I met her in London t o - morrow, she would certainly not try to pry into my affairs, and even if I had your leave to tell her part of the truth she is perfectly safe. I assure you that you need never worry yourself for a single moment about my cousin Esther." So Dick was pacified, and the following day went to Colchester—not in a very happy frame of mind, all the same. "I hate leaving you, Dolly," h e said vexedly, "I hate it. I've a good mind to throw up my commission and trust to Fate and the old savage." "Dick, Dick!" she cried, "how can you be so foolish? Supposing that the 'old savage' did turn round on you and stopped your allowance, where would you be then? If you are in the army you have always the chance of going to India, and I don't k n o w that I would not rather be in India a s Mrs. Aimer than have these dreadful partr ings here." a "No, no!" he cried hastily, "I couldn't take you out there. I've always had a sort of horror of the east, and I would do anything to avoid running any such risk." So he went away with a lump In his throat which made "him glad that he was safe in a cab, leaving Dorothy to face the next week by heself—that is to say, except for Barbara, who was jubilant at having got her long holid a y o v e r and delighted to be at work again. To Dorothy Barbara at this time was a wonderful study of which she w a s never tired. For Barbara had been born and bred in the country, and had lived more years at Graveleigh Hall than Dorothy could remember, and her comments on town people and town ways were something more than amusing. "Ah! they did things in a queer sort of fashion at Halloway. My cousin Joe lives at Halloway—you know, Miss Dorothy—he's a plomber in quite a large way of business and has money in the bank and two children at boarding school learning French and music and Heaven knows what besides. Mrs. Joe used to go out every Saturday night to get her stores in for the week, a s she always said—for Sunday, I used to think. Never did I see such marketings! A quarter of a pound of but- - t e r - a a d - four fresh -eggs,—She regular prided herself on those fresh eggs. My dear,' said I one night to her, 'them eggs have been laid at least a week, and I doubt if I should be far out if I went as far as ten days.' " 'You see, Barbara,' says she, 'you've been used to a country life, with newlaid eggs, and gallons of milk and butter by the stone, and I dare say you feel a bit pinched-like here. But if I'd let myself go in butter and live on new-laid eggs at twopence-ha'penny eajch—well all I can say is, I should have had to rest content without any boarding schools or anything put by In the bank.' "I don't say, Miss Dorothy—Mrs. Harris, ma'am, I should say," Barin her ideas and strict in her uoUons, had been both tender and indulgent to her Uttle orphan niece, and had, moreover, a l w a y s been a clever and capable w o m a n with whom to associate. Then, about a country house there are a l w a y s so many different points of interest. Either the moles have worked at last from the meadow under the 1 hedge and below the, very best bit of the velvet lawn which is the very pride and* delight of your eyes, or the rats have suddenly acquired a pert measure of audacity and have scraped and bitten a new hole in the corn-bin or the newly, filled potato bags, or have gone further and found their way into the principal pantry and created a regular stampede among your servants. Or perhaps you catch one of the sinners in a new trap which cost five and sixp e n c e , ' a n d w h e n you go to see its wicked, hoary( old occupant you feel that if it never catches another, this one is well worth the money. Or if traps and, other means, consisting of horribly smelling poisons suggestive of the infernal regions, fail you, perhaps you have the professional rat-catcher up from the village with his box of sinuous, red-eyed ferrets, and then you have your revenge on the rats. I DRAW T H E L I N E , bara went on, in her w i s e s t tones— "that X should wish to go against my cousin Joe's wife in that respect— a thrifty wife is a crown of gold to a m a n that has to work for a living; but at e g g s that have never seen a hen for nearly a fortnight I do draw the line —to call 'em fresh, that is." Bui although on most evenings D o - rothy used to tell the old servant to bring her sewing and come and sit with her in tue pretty little drawing room, it must be confessed that at this time she found her life dreadfully dull, and a s each day went by she seemed to m i s s Dick in her daily life more and more. For though she had been used to a quiet country home and a quiet country existence, there had always been plenty to interest h e r Miss Dlmsdale, K somewhat eld fashioned, CHAPTER XIV. "I) H E R E is n o end to the interest which hourly crops up out of the unexpected in a country life Perhaps the speckled hen starts laying, or she shows unmistakable sign? of a stronger instinct of maternity than usual. Or one of the cobs casts a shoe, or a wind gets up in the night and tears a large branch off the great weeping willow which shelters the most easterly corn e r o f your garden, where- the—wind sweeps up the keenest, straight from the great North Sea. Or maybe the corner c . the shrubbery, where the mushrooms have always grown, nobody ever knew why, has suddenly bloomed out with broad, pinkish fungi, and you feel as if you had found a fortune, although you know perfectly well that the market value of what you have discovered is not, at fhe outside, more than threepence. Still, that does not lessen your pleasure in the least, and you carry them indoors and present them to every member of your household, your visitors If you h a v e any, your family, and, finally, to your cook, as if—well, as if you were a second Columbus and had discovered a new America. Then in the country you are a neighbor of everybody! If you live as Dorothy Strode had been used to live all jjour life, you know why Janet Wenham was not at church on Sunday, and why Elizabeth Middleham's girl left that nice place at Whittington, and how Elizabeth Middleham cried for days over it, and her girl's intention to take service in London and see life. And you know all about it when Mrs. Jones has her mauve dinner gown dyed chestnut brown, and how it is that the rectory curtains keep clean year after year, although white silk with a delicately tinted stripe would be ruined in three months in some houses. Yes, you know everything about everybody in the country, almost without knowing why you know it. But in town, in London town, it is all so different It is true when you get known in London, the gossiping is nearly as bad as if you were the center of a small village set; but to a girl situated as Dorothy was, London is a social blank. She knew nobody, and nobody knew her. She did not want to know any one, and apparently the inhabitants of the metropolis returned the c o m p l i m e n t Yet, nevertheless, it was terribly dull. Her pretty little flat was on the ground floor of the block of buildings which was dignified with the name of Palace Mansions, so she had people above and people below her. But Dorothy knew them not. There was a sweet-faced lady on the first floor immediately above her, a lady who dressed well and had a sweet-faced little child with her sometimes, and Dorothy fairly yearned over her and longed to say "Good morning" when they met in the common hall of the Mansion. But the sweet-faced lady did not k n o w the exact standing of Mrs. Harris, who lived at No. 4, and i a her dread of e v e n rubbing elbows with "a person" s h e resolutely made her eyes shone and her lips steel whenever she saw the slight, girlish figure approaching her. T h e n there w a s a lady a t No. 2— that w a s the basement, a sort of Welbeck Abbey in a m a t u r e . S h e , being a stout and buxom widow, whose grandchildren came running in at all times from a house on the other side of t h e H i g h street, might have ventured a kindly word even to "a person," but she never did. No, o n the contrary, whenever she' came across poor Dorothy she invariably sniffed, w h i c h was rude, to say the least ef i t (To be continued.) A N A F F L I C T E D M O T H E R .

My Dear Mother:—I received a couple of letters from you some time ago. I also answered them but of course I don't know whether they got out to t h e mail route or not. I was a little under the weather with rheumatism the first part of t h e month, but am all right now. We have had beautiful weather on the Yukon this fall and early winter, but. the past week . has been cold, with every indication of its getting colder. I t has been 40 degrees below—that is the coldest; but on account of such a beautiful winter last year, we naturally look for about 70 below before spring. Here in the far north a j e a r ago last winter they had weather that was 72 degrees below. "Grub" has been very scarce t h e past summer on account of the steamers not being able to get up the river, (low water at the artic circle.) I bought all my "grub" and other supplies early last spring, so have plenty of everyt h i n g f o r nearly a yea^. My partner and myself killed two moose M _ _ ^ ^ ^ ^ < three months ago.

If so we shall have a prosperity that politicians never dreamed of. Jacob Read has proven the value of cooked beans in fatting cattle. Last week be sold two cows which be had been feeding one month. The cows had gained in this short time 310 pounds and he sold them at three quarters of a cent a pound more than he gave for them. The advance was one half of tbe h'rst cost of the cows.

Clement Scott, whose wholesale denunciation of the women of the stage produced 4 shock, has been rebuked so thoroughly that he Is half inclined to call himself Great Scott, with several exclamation points. It ought to be well understood by this time that the merit system has come to stay; that the only change possible is in the direction of its further extension. It is no longer a dream of theorists, but a very practical tact. I t s operation has proved of great value to the service and it has tended to relfere congressmen of a burden which at one time threatened to render them useless for purposes of legislation.

From t h e Text, Exodus 4 i » • • F o l l o w i : "And H l i 8Ut«r Stood Afar Off, to WltneM W % ' t Would He D o n e Ulm." to The announcement that the French government would take up the question of a reduction of the French Import, duty on wheat was a large factor In the recent ftse in wheat. The duty amounts to 36.8 cents a bushel. Today in France wheat is worth about $1.65 a bushel, and a repeal of the duty would send the American wheat to the highest point in years. Italy has already repealed a part of its wheat tariff, and the report is confirmed that even Russia is importing wheat. RINCESS THERMUT1S, daughter of Pharaoh, looking out through the lattice of her bathing house, on the banks of the Nile, saw a curious boat on the river. ft had neither oar nor helm, and they would have been useless anyhow. There was only oue passenger, and that a baby boy. But the Mayflower, that brought the Pilgrim Fathers to America, carried not so precious a load. The boat was made of the broad lea\es of papyrus, tightened together by bitumen. Hoats were sometimes made of that material, as we learn from Pliny and Herodotus and Theophrastus. "Kill all the Hebrew children born," had been Pharaoh's order. To save her boy, Jochebed, the mother of little Moses, had put him in that queer boat and launched him. His sister, Miriam, stood on the bank watching that precious craft. She was far enough off not to draw attention to the boat, but near enough to offer protection. There she stands on the bank—Miriam, the poetess, Miri- Theold~courthouse has been deeded to the village of Metamora by Woodford county on the promise that it would be kept up and cared for because of its interesting history. It is one of the most Interesting buildings in Illinois. It was constructed more than half a century ago and many of the leading men of this country have practiced in its rooms. Lincoln practiced there for several years and Adlai Ste- Tenson began his work as attorney in the old building. The eloquence of Ingersoll was often heard in its walls. The building was used as a cofcrthouse up to a year ago, When the county seat '• was moved to Eureka. answer was, "I am going down to bury Moses." And the Lord took this mightiest of men to the top of a hill, and the day was clear, and Moses ran his eye over the magnificent range of country. Here, the valley of Esdraelon, where the final battle of all nations is to be fought; and yonder, the mountains Hermon and Lebanon and Gerizlm, and the hills of Judea; and the village of liethlehem there, and the city of Jericho yonder, and the vast stretch of landscape that almost took the old lawgiver's breath away as he looked at it. And then without a pang —as I learn from the statement that the eye of Moses was uudlmmed and his natural force unabated—God touched great lawgiver's eyes and they closed; and his lungs, and they ceased; and his heart, and it stopped; and commanded, saying, "To the skies, thou Immortal spirit!" And then one Divine hand was put against the back of Moses, and the other hand against the pulseless breast, and God laid him softly down on Mount Nebo, and then the lawgiver, lifted in the Almighty's arms, was carried to the opening of a cave, and placed in a crypt, and one stroke of the Divine hand smoothed the features into an everlasting calm, and a rock was rolled to the door, and the only obsequies, at which God did all the offices of priest, and undertaker, and gravedigger, and mourner, were ended. Oh, was not Miriam, the sister of Moses, doing a good thing, an important thing, a glorious thing when the watched the boat woven of river plants and made water-tight with asphaltum, carrying its one passenger? Did she not put all the ages of time and of a coming eternity under obligation when am, the quick witted, Miriam, the faith- _s he defended her helpless brother from ful, though very human, for in after \ t u e perils aquatic, repLi'.ian, and raven- Enormous exports of flour have re- * eently been made and as a consequence the Minneapolis mills will run full farce, some of them day and night. The daily receipts of wheat a t e not sufficient to supply the m i l d and the elevators are being called on. This steamers had left the other side of the Atlantic in ballast for American wheat cargoes has forced up the price of this • grain. On the Chicago market wheat sold last week at $1.10 a bushel, and even at that price the Leiter clique refused to Bell more than a few thousand bushels of its enormous holdings. Armour is supposed to be "but of the wheat market. yearsshe-demonstrated it Miriam was a splendid sister, but had had her faults^ like all the rest of us. How carefully she watched the boat containing her brother! A strong wind often upset it. The buffaloes often found there might in a sudden plunge of thirst sink it. • Some ravenous water fowl might swoop and pick his eyes out with iron beak. Some crocodile or hippopotamus crawling through the rushes might crunch the babe. Miriam watched and watched until Princess Thermutis, a maiden on each side of her holding palm leaves over her head to shelter her from the sun, came down and entered her bathing house. When from the lattice she saw that boat she ordered it brought, and when the leaves were pulled back from the face of the child and the boy looked up he cried aloud, for he was hungry and frightened, and would not even let the princess take him. The infant would rather stay hungry than acknowledge any TTUSi* one of thA nnnrt. as mother. Now_Mir-I O«M1-»M-44H>-other Nil was ihat—brought that wonderful babe and his mother together, so that he was reared to be the deliverer of his nation, when otherwise, if saved at all from the rushes of the Nile, he would have been only one more of the God-defying Pharaohs; for Princess Thermutis of the bathinghouse would have inherited the crown of Egypt; and as she had *no child of her own, this adopted child would have come to coronation. Had there been no Miriam there would have been no Moses. What a garland for faithful sisterhood! For how many a lawgiver, and how many a hero, and how many a deliverer and how many a saint are the world t»ud the church indebted to a watchful, loving, faithful, godly sister? Come up out of the farm-houses, come up out of the inconspicuous homes, come up from the banks of the Hudson and Penobscot, and the Savannah, and the Mobile, and the Mississippi, looked down upon thorn will have to turn out to let them pass* the ohariotecr crying: "Clear the wayl A queen Is coming!" General Dauer, 0* the Russian cavalry, had in early life wandered off in the army, and tho family supposed he was dead. After he gained a fortune ho encamped oue day in Husam, his native place, and made a banquet; and among the great military men who were to dine, he invited a plain miller and his wife who lived near by and who, affrighted, came, fearing some harm would 4*e done them. The miller and his wife were placed one on earh side of the general at the table. The general asked the miller all about his family, and the miller said that he had two brothers and a sister. "No other brothers?" "My younger brother went off with the army* many years ago, and no doubt wa long ago killed1." Then the general said: "Soldiers, I am this man's younger brother, whom he thought was dead." And how loud was the cheer, and how warm the embrace! Brother and sister, you need aa much of an introduction t o each other as they did. You do not know each other You think your brother is grouty and cross and queer, and he thinks you are selfish and proud and unlovely. Both wrong! That brother will be a prince In some woman's eyes, and that sistera queen in the estimation of some man. That brother is a magnificent fellow, and that sister is a morning in Jucie. Come, let me Introduce you: "Moses, this is Miriam." "Miriam, this is Moses." Add seventy-five per cent to your present appreciation of each other, and when you kiss good morning do not stick up your cold cheek, ~wetfrom the" re centwashing, as though you hated to touch each other's lips in affectionate caress. Let it have all the fondness and cordiality of a loving sister's kiss. Make yourself as agreeable and helpful to each other as possible, remembering that soon you part. The few years of boyhood and girlhood will soon slip by, and you will go out to homes of your own, and into the battle with the world, and amid ever-changing vicls'sltudes, and on paths crossed with graves, and up steeps hard to climb, and through shadowy ravines..! D O I N G S O F C O N G R E S S . A FttMxrupMc Clfrcjptcle of t h e Acta of t h e Nation'* L a w m a k e r * . Senator Mason, of Illinois. \\na presented the following rfeii-hot Cuban resolution to the Senate: "Resolved/That t h e President of the United States be, and he it> hereby requested to notify Spain and the insurgents of Cuba tliut t h e war (so-called) must at once ceuse and be discontinued, and that the United States of America hereby declare and will maintain ponce on the Island of Cuba.'' The resolution was preceded by a preamble which st>t forth t h e terrible condition J of uirairs in Cuba, t h e inhuman deeds of thV* Spaniards, the sufferings.of the Cuban women and children, t h e ill-treatment of Americans at the h a n d s of the Spaniards, and also quoted the Republican platform of the last campaign, which sajd in part, " w e believe that the government of the United Stutes should actively use its iniluence aud good offices to restore peace and give independence to the Island of Cuba." Senator Allen, of Nebrasku. offered a s uii amendment to the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill the Morgan resolution for the recognition of the belligerency of Cuba. He said he hoped it would be speedily ucUjtV yUPon by the committee on . foreign relations so t h a t it would not v»>e defeased in the Senate by a point of order. ^1 r. Hale said it would still be "subject to such a point and Mr. 'Allen' gave notice that he would appie&l fVom any decision adverse to the amendment and test the sense of the Senate on the subject. Senator Cannon ottered the following resolution for the recognition of Cuban independence: "Whereas, The people of the republic of Cuba are. and of right ought to be, free and independent; and.

Madame Bonnefois is the daughter of hard working parents who sold toys at peripatetic fairs about Paris. When a young girl she began imparting her little, selfacquired education to the children of the fakirs, ropewalkers and showmen around her. With a little panorama of hej* own she managed to support her remarkable benevolence. Although she seldom stayed more than a fortnight in one town, she followed her proteges from place to place, setting up her v sehool, teaching the children to read and write, and ministering to their -bodily and moral necessities. Madame Bonnefois would have liked, doubtless, to command the philanthropic prospect from the summit. Palling that, she has set her little valley a-bloom for mankind. American competition m British ana .continental markets has become so keen and successful t h a t the London British Trade Review has been led to inquire, "When and where will the invasion stop?" Continuing, our contemporary say8: "The latest effort in this direction la to supply us with coal in the shape of Penhsylranto anthracite. The miners of the United Kingdom helped this article to get a footholu here during their late strike, but a tegular trade la now promiaed,aad Germany la named along with Great Britain as a damping ground, i t is asserted t h a t at present prices and present rates at freight American fuel can be exported to Europe at a small profit, and t h a t If the coal carrying steamers would out grant specially low rates in consideration of the assurance of steady cargoes, there would be no doubt whatever in the case.

But can Atlantic freights be further la correct the thing la impossible, bat they mean t h a i • u t e m e n t for caly." iam, the sister, incognito, no one suspecting her relation to the child, leaps from the bank and rushes down and offers to get a nurse to pacify the child. Consent is given, and she brings Jochebed, the boy's mother, incognito, none of the court knowing that she was the mother; and when Jochebed arrived, the child stopped crying, for its fright was calmed and its hunger appeased. You may admire Jochebed, the mother, and all the ages may admire Moses, but I clap my hands in applause at the behavior of Miriam, the faithful, brilliant and strategic sister. "Go home," some one might have said to Miriam; "why risk yourself out there alone on the banks of the Nile, breathing the miasma, and in danger of being attacked of wild beast or ruffian; go home!" No; Miriam, the sister, more lovingly watched and bravely defended Moses, the brother. Is he worthy her care and courage? Oh, yes; the sixty centuries of the world's history have never had so much involved in the arrival of any ship at. any port as in the landing of that papyrus boat calked with bitumen! Its one passenger was to be a nonsuch in history —lawyer,, statesman, politician, legislator, organizer, conqueror, deliverer. He had such remarkable beauty in childhood that Josephus says, when he was carried along the road, people stopped to gaze at him, and workmen would leave their work to admire him. When the king; playfully put his crown upon this boy, he .threw it off indignantly, and put his foot upon it. The king, fearing that this might be a sign that the child might yet take down his crown, applied another test. According to the Jewish legend, the king ordered two bowls to be put before the child, one containing rubies and the other burning coals; and if he took the coals, he was to live, and if he took the rubies, he was to die. For some) reason the child took one of the coal a, and put it in his mouth, so that, his life was spared, although it burned the tongue till he was indistinct of utterance ever after. Having come to manhood, ' he spread open the palms of his hands in prayer, and the Red Sea parted to let two million fire hundred thousand people escape. And he put the palms of his hands together in prayer, and the Bed Sea closed on a strangulated host. His life so unutterably grand, his burial must be on the same scale. God would let neither man nor saint nor archangel have anything to do with weaving for«him a shroud or digging for hiaa a grave.—The omnipotent God let us see you, the Miriams who watched and protected the leaders in law, and medicine, and merchandise, and art and agriculture, and mechanics, and religion! If I should ask all physicians and attorneys and merchants and ministers of religion and successful men of all professions and trades, who are indebted to an elder sister for good influences and perhaps for an education or a prosperous start, to let it be known, hundreds would testify. God knows how many of our Greek lexicons and how much of our schooling was paid for by money that would otherwise have gone for the replenishing of a sister's wardrobe. While the brother sailed off for a re sounding sphere, the sisrter watched him from the banks of self-denial. Miriam was the eldest of the family; Moses and Aaron, her brothers, were younger. Oh, the power of the elder sister to help decide the brother's character for usefulness and for heaven! She can keep off from her brother more evils than Miriam could have driven back water-fowl or crocodile from the ark of bulrushes. The older sister decides the direction in which the cradle boat shall sail. By gentleness, by good sense, by Christian principle she can turn it toward the palace, not of a wicked Pharaoh, but of a holy God; and a brighter princess than Thermutis should lift him out of peril, even religion, whose ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace. The older sister, how much the wortd owes her! Born while yet the family was in limited circumstances, she had to hold aiid take care of her younger brothers. And if there is anything that excites my sympathy, it is a • ittle girl lugging round a great fat child and getting her ears boxed because she cannot keep him quiet! By the time she gets to young womanhood she is pale and worn out, and her attractiveness has been sacrificed on the altar of sisterly fidelity, and ehe is consigned to celibacy, end society calls her by an unfair name; but in heaven they call her Miriam. In most families the two most undesirable places in the record of births are the first and the last; the first because she is worn oui with the cares of a home that cannot ifford to hire help, and the last beause she is spoiled as a pet. Among .he grandest equipages that sweep through the streeta of heaven will be those occupied by slaters who aacri is the start—namely,at the father's and mother's knee, if they have inherited the kingdom. Then, as in boyhood and Sfrlhood days, we rushed in after the day's absence with much to tell of exciting adventure, and father and mother enjoyed the recital as much as we who made it, so we shall on the hiliside of heaven rehearse to them all the scenes of our earthly expedition, and they shall welcome us 'home, as we ^ay: "Father and mother, we have come But, 0 my God and Saviour! may therermlnus of the journey be the same | of Cuba on or -^be^re 4he v4th duy of March.' l&ft, the '^overnniet^t of the tJnJted ritAte9'4rill, tin t h a t date, recognize the" belligerency of t h e Cuban patriots and within 30 days thereafter assert the independence of the republic of Cuba. Double Murder at Skaguay. A double , murder occurred at Ska-" guay, Alaska. Deputy C S. Marshal J. M. Bo wen, formerly city marshal of Mount Vernon, Wash., and Andrew 'MetJrath, of. Cqncqrd. Ont.. "were, shot and brought our ohildren with and kUled in J alee $i*e> variety theater us." The old revival hymn described it wifth glorious repetition: "Brothers and sisters there will meet. Brothers and sisters there will meet. Brothers and sisters there will meet. Will meet to part, no more." I read of a child in t h e country who was detained at a neighbor's house on a stormy night by some fascinating uories that were being told him, and hen looked out and saw it was so dark le did not dare go home. The incident impressed me the more because in my childhood I had much the same I experience. The boy asked his comrades to go with him, but they dared not. It got later and later—seven o'clock, eight o'clock, nine o'clock. "Oh," he said, "I wish I were home! As he opened the door the last time a blinding flash of lightning and a deaf ening roar overcame him. But after awhile he saw in the distance a lantern, and lo! his brother was coming to fetch him home, and the lad stepped out and with swift feet hastened an to his brother, who took him home, where they were so glad to greet him,-and for a long time supper had been waiting. So may it be when the night of death comes and our earthly friends cannot go with us, and we dare no'. go alone; may our Brother, our Elder Brother, our Friend closer than a brother, come out to meet us with the light of the promises, which shall be a lantern to our feet; and then,we will go in to join our loved ones waiting for us, supper all ready, the marriage supper of the Lamb! by Kd ,Fay> a bartender.

Narrow Encape of F i v e Men. Five men started to return over t h e ice from their work on the Cleveland waterworks crib, which is rive miles out in the lake. When about a mile from land they discovered t h a t they were on a detached icefloe << which was being blown out into the lake. Their cries and fr-ast-ie--waving of coats attracted the attention of skaters near the shore who telephoned for tire fireboat Clevelander.

Then there was an old gentleman who walked up and down in front ot her windows every morning from ha'*- past nine to ten o'clock, and again every afternoon from half-past two to three. He looked like an old general, and Dorothy felt quite friendly toward him because he belonged to her darling Dick's profession. But. even an old general can get monotonous in time, particularly when he does the same things day after day—and this one always did. After his early morning constitutional he invariably went in to his house and was seen- no m r e until he came out to do his half hour of regular tramping again at half-paat two. But after his second dose he always looked at his watch when a:i adjacent clock struck the hour, ind then shook himself together and toddled off as if he were going to town— going to his club, Dorothy thought. But o h ! dear, dear, it was all dreadfully slow, and before she had been a month In her new home Dorothy was pining, pining for some woman friend to talk td, to confide in, to be friends with. a Of course, to set off against this, there were the gay and glorious times when Dick came home, sometimes only between afternoon parade and morning stables, which meant a little dinner somewhere, a theater after it, and a wild scramble and rush to catch a Train leaving Liverpool street at some mearthly hour in the morning. At Jther times, however, Dick managed :o squeeze a two-days' leave out of his colonel, and then Dorothy felt—ay, and said, poor child—that life was worth dving, and that she would not change her lot for that of any other woman in all the wide world. So, poor child, her life slipped by in a continual change from • grave to gay, with bright spots of deepest and tenderest love set in a large surface of unutterable dullness and wearying depression. "I wonder," she said one day to Dick, "whether, when we are able to be always together; you will get tired of me and if I shall bore you?" "No," said Dick, promptly. "You really think not?" eagerly. "I don't think at all," he said, tenderly, "because I am sure of it. What inaketr you ask me that, dearest? Have JL ever looked bored or as if I were tired of you?" "Oh, no, Dick, n o ! " she burst out; "only you were so good and kind to me, and it s e e m s so wonderful that you who have been in the world all your ife, should take so much trouble for a l i t t l e ns*x>dy like me—I mean that 1 know nothing; how should I, after living B.\\ my life at Graveleigh?" Dick\ laughed aloud at the earnestness of b-er face and tone. "My darMng," he said, holding her close to his heart, "I have been no more kind and tender to you than you have been to me. You don't set half enough value <*n your dear self, the most precious self in the world. Believe me, a m a n does not care so much what his wife knows as what she is —and you forget, Wbat I always renever been to part us. Don't hurt me again by asking me doubting questions, my darling. Don't, Dorothy; don't, my dear." "Dick, Dick," Dorothy cried, "I never will. I love you, love you, love you!" "And you will always love me?" teasingly. "Oh, Dick!" reproachfully. "Even when ?" Dorothy blushed, but she put hor arm round his neck, and drew his mouth down to hers. "I shall always love you best of all, Dick," she said, "and however much I may love the child, I shall love it most because of you." "I LOVE YOU.- member, that you might hare liked the other fellow best, and you didn't." "The other fellow," Dorothy faltered. "You mean David Stevenson." "Yes, I mean David Stevenson," Dick answered. "Many a girl would h a r e taken him before a poor pauper devil, w h o had to ask his wife to lire incog in a poor little hole like this. Do you know, I went round to have a look at Stevenson's place, Holroyd, the other day, and when I saw it—shall I tell you w h a t I did, my sweetheart?" "Yes," answered Dorothy, in a w h l s - "I w e n t round to the churchyard where she. lies, our best friend, and I thanked God and her, if she could hear me, that m y dear little love had given m e her pure love in exchange for mine, satf t h a t Mies Dimsdale's w i s h e s had CHAPTER XV. B O U T t w o months after this a sort of avalanche fell upon the little household in Palace Mansions. It took the form of a letter from Lord Aylmer, the old savage at Aylmer'n Field, and Dick in his first surprise exclaimed, "Nov/, who the devil was to expect the old savage would be up to this sort of game?" It began by assuring his nephew that he was enjoying the very best of -heatthr that he had not had a touch of gout for something over three months, but that her ladyship was in exceedingly queer health—that she was indeed thoroughly out of sorts, and at present giving both himself and her medical adviser cause for the grave3t anxiety. Then he went on to say that he had just had a visit of nearly a week from his old friend Barry Boynton— "That's Lord Skevversleigh," said Dick, as he read the letter aloud—and that Barry Boynton had just been appointed Governer-General of Madras, and that as he—"the old savage"— felt his nephew could not lose by advancement in his profession, whether he ever happened to come in for tha Aylmer title or.not, he had put in a good word for him with his old friend, with the result that Barry Boynton baa promised to appoint him as his military secretary. "But,, Dick," Dorothy cried, "that means India." "Not a bit of it, my darling," Dick cried; "I'll see the old savage at. perdition before I accept it. I only go to India on one condition that I go as a free man; that is, with you as my acknowledged wife." Ti v n they read the letter over again and made their comments upon it— she with her sweet face pressed against his cheek, he with his arm close about her waist. "The amount of delicate information he conveys is really remarkable," Dick laughed. Dick, by-the-by, was on :t ten days' leave, and was jovial and inclined to view the whole world through rose colored glasses in consequence; "this is to let me know that I needn't expect to step into his shoes for many a day yet. Bless me, if he knew how little I care about it, one way or the other!" "Nor I!" Dorothy chimed in; "except— except that we should always be together then, Dick," with a soft touch of yearning in her voice. "But we are always together in heart, my dearest," cried Dick, fondly. "And my lady's health is causing him the gravest anxiety—h'm! We may take that with a grain of salt. Gravest anxiety* Why, if my lady were lying at death's door, that old savage wouldn't be anxious, unless for fear that she should get better. However, as they are in town I must go and inquire after her ladyship. She's a hard nail enough, but s h e has always been good to mo *n her way, and she's worth a thousand of him any day. And then I can tell the old savage that he may use his influence with his dear old friend Barry Boynton for somebody else." "But you won't do anything rash, Dick?" Dorothy cried. "Certainly not—why should I? But I shall tell him I have no fancy for India, and that I'd rather stop at home. "But supposing that he says no," said Dorothy, who in her heart regarded Dick's "old savage" as an all-powerful being who had it in his power to make or mar her very existence. "Oh, I think he will hardly insist, one way or the other," he answered, easily. "Anyway, I must go and be civil to m y lady, who isn't half a bad sort, and gently intimate my decision to my lord." "When will you go, Dick?" Dorothy asked. 'Today, I think, dearest." he replied; *9u*t after lunch will be a good tlmtr. A i.v .-,^, ..toc - , aever quite so savage after a meal as at any other time." A strange and sickly faintness began to creep ove: Dorothy, a dull and indefinable sense of foreboding rose in her heart and threatened to suffocate her. "Shall you be long there?" "Well, if I am," returned Dick, with a laugh, "it will be a new experience for my delightful uncle, for I never stopped a single minute longer in hia house than I could help since I can remember." Then he happened—attracted by her silence, and the absence of the sweet laugh which generally echoed his—to turn and look at her. The next moment he had caught her in bis arms, and was kissing her as a man only kisses the one w o m a n that he loves in all the world. "My love, my love," he cried, "my dear, sweet little love, don't look like that. W h a t is it you fear? Not that I shall ever change toward you, or be different in any way, so far as you are concerned?" "They are your people," she faltered —and " "My people!" he echoed contemptuously. "Yes, so they are; but you— you are my life—my very soul—the light of my eyes; why, you are mftself. Why, to put my love and care f o r y o u in comparison for one instant with what I feel for all my people together would be too funny for words, if you were not distressed about it. But when I see you look like that, r*.rling, it hurts me so awfully—it cuts Tie up, so that I can hardly talk or t h i n \ sens'bly. My dear little dove, tfctre is - jbody in all the wide world '**at I i")uld ever put beside you, vK ever shall." "You are sure?" she cried. "I am quite sure," he answered,looking at her straight and true in the eyes. "And now, my dearest, it is halfp a s t e l e v e n ; let m e take you out for a turn before lunch time." He always found it an easy matter to comfort and reassure the little wife who loved him so dearly, and although, by living so much alone and without proper companionship, she was apt to brood over the circumstances of her life and to conjure up all sorts of gloomy fancies and dr ead shadows which might come to pa?» tit some future time, these mists always yielded before the irresistible suhsMue of his love, and they were happi<*\ if possible, than they had been tfiretime. In his innermost heart, h o - v v e r , Dick was not §0 easy about hfj approaching interview with Lord A j ' m e r as he made Dorothy believe; and he knocked at the door of the old savage's town house with rather a quaking heart, and something of the vague' dread which he had coaxed and soothed away from his wife's tender heart. D I P H T H E R I A I N W I N N S C O N N S . Yes, Lord Aylmer was at home, and her ladyship also! and the servant, having no special orders about Mr. Aylmer, a t otice showed him into the pretty little room off the smallest of the two drawing rooms, and told hira that he would inform her ladyship of his presence. And in less than three minutes Lady Aylmer came. "My dear Dick," she said, "I am most pleased to see you. I did *ot know that you were in town. Is it true that Lord Skevversleigh has made you his military secretary? I quite thought you had set your face against India at any price." Dick Aylmer was s o surprised that "MY D E A R DICK." he sat staring at his uncle's wife in speechless wonder. She noticed his look, and asked with a laugh, "What is the matter, Dick? You look a s if you had s«en a ghost." "Not a ghost, Lady Aylmer," he said, recovering himself; "but I certainly expected to see more of a ghost than you are a t t h i s moment." "Why, how do you mean?" "I had a letter from Lord A y l m e r this morning, and he said that y o e were ill.** "111? i r she echoed. "Nonsense! You must h a v e mistaken h i a . I w a s never better in my life." "I couldn't possibly mistake h i m , " said Dick, firmly. "However, H i s h o w you the letter; there is nothing e l *V private in K." L (To be Continued.) Bow It Was Stamped Oat, After Ik* Modern Traatmeut Ha4 PaSaA, Thirty-three cases of diphtheria were reported at Winneconoe, Wisconsin, and the schools were closed. Of the thirty-three cases twelve were subjected to so-called modern treatment; four of the twelve thus treated died, a death rate of 33 1-8 per c e n t Mr. J. Ulrlch, a resldtnt of W l n n e - conne, had observed the marvelous success Muco-Solvent had met with and in his enthusiastic way Induced many mothers to use it. His own family was one of the first infected, Muco-Solvent being used to the exclusion of everything else with splendid results. Compared with other treatments, its success was so very pronounced, that Muco-Solvent was generally adopted, with the result that by its use alone the other twenty-two cases recovered, not one proving fatal where Muco-flolvent was depended on. We recommend its presence In every home, for all throat troubles. In averting developments of diphtheria, scarlet fever and croup, It is unequalled.

In Babylon, a crowded elty built on a flat plain, the queens had their gar* dens In the air, hanging, or roof-gardens, whence they could look far away to the distant sky-line. Here rich and rare blossoms grew and lovely foliage gave shade and a cooler air refreshed the brow than that of the heated streets far below. The rich also had high, terraced gar-, gardens, on land, and, sweetest of all, floating gardens on tho lakes. These were made on rafts, and In the rich soil and abundant moisture the flowers bloomed marvelously, while in the waters another garden—counterpart of the first—bloomed in a fair shadow-world. In such a garden as thla one might have the enjoyment of movement, gliding slowly over the waves, or rest at will, moored on the bank. Another fairy-like garden was the desert garden in which the royal ladies of Persia and of Egypt delighted. Surrounded by burning sands, they yet contrived, by artificial means, to extend the waters of some spring in an oasis, and rear beautiful shrubs and a profusion of flowers and tender grass, sprinkling the air continually with fountains that laughed and played in the sun. Think of the delight of entering such a retreat after a toilsome journey on camel's back in the hot glare and across, the parched sands pf some desert route. In the great tanks wore cultivated aquatic plants, the lotus, or water lily, of the Egyptian river, with colling stems and cool, veined leaves. The Romans and the Greeks delighted in gardens, and those of Pompeii, the city deetroyed so many centurlete ago by a volcano, were very gay. The houses were in perfect accord with the gardens, and opened upon them. The halls almost seemed In imitation of a flower-bed, so brilliant were the mosaic pictures on the floors. It is true, the walls of the houses within were black, ; but this was only as a background to j throw into stronger relief the brightcolored decorations upon them. I There were white tablets with in- I scriptions, and there were pictures that told some pleading etory—pictures of bright and cheerful colors in which the ! red cinnabar predominated. The Pompeilans loved red; they sometimes painted the lower part of the columns in their graceful peristylee or porticos a bright red, leaving the upper part untouched. You looked through the portico across the hall and-pajtfoTf and perhaps picture room, all open and ciienry, into the little garden beyond with its trim flower-beds, its little fountain, its vases on—pedestals andstatues in the shrubbery. Illusions and fanciful devices were in great request. The garden walls were tinted and painted in perspective, trees, temples, etc., to produce an appearance of more space than really existed. Bronze boys with silver eyes and nymphe scattering wreaths were favorite ornaments. Everything looked ready for a feast. l a Italy, during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuriss. and even later, the greatest attention was bestowed on gardens. These were full of fountains and little lakes, and winding walks and borders of flowers, of course, but their special feature was the resemblance to the old gardens of Rome. Their boundaries were marked by marble pillars with a sculptured head of Hermes; under the stately stone-pines were little temples built in classic style, besides the streams were grottos with statues of water-nymphs and deities, in the groves you came suddenly upon a white marble Pan with his pipes or Apollo and Diana with their bows.

One of the most singular instances of punishment for an oversight was that shown by the commitment of an almanac maker to the bastile in 1717.

One good thing about a women's club is the fact that it enables its members to tell every week in set sketches just why the club exiBts. Another delightful thing Is its placid satisfaction over the weekly increase in the number of its members, and in imagining an opposition on the part of the press and the public which does not exist. But it really ought to have its pretty songs, like the Sunday schools, wherein the members sing, '"Oh, how I ..love my dear, dear club," etc. The fact that a mother whose son had been killed In a game of foot ball objected earnestly to a bill prohibiting the game, and the other fact that many young ladies of Richmond applauded speeches in the Virginia legislature in opposition £o a similar bill, demonstrate a love of danger on the part of the sex which will not permit the other sex to get away from it. There Is a great deal of the savage in the gentle bosoms of those persons yet. Adaptability, deemed priceless in social success, plays no less a part in business life, as the English cotton manufacturers have discovered to their sorrow. Turkey-red handkerchiefs were popular in Russia, but the women wanted them square. The Lancashire makers sent them oblong. The Russian shopkeepers protested, but as change would involve alteration of machinery, the Russian women had still to screw the oblong kerchiefs round their heads. Then the gallant German appeared. He bowed effusively to feminine fashion, did not begrudge the needful machinery, got the trade, and deserved it. Chief Brown.of the.Seminole Indians has visited Washington, accompanied by two men of his tribe, one of whom is the father of one of the young Indians burned at the stake the other day by a mob of white men. Unable to secure justice in Oklahoma, the chief decided to appeal to the natiunai government, and as a result the following resolution was offered in the sen-' ate: "Resolved, That the secretary of the interior shall be and Is hereby in structed to investigate the facts attending the recent alleged atrocious burning to death of two Seminole Indians by a mob in Oklahoma Territory and make report thereon to congress." The Joint sub-committee of the senate and house, which has been for some months trying to agree upon the basis of new laws for Indian Territory, has authorized Representative Curtis to prepare and introduce a bill providing for the allotment of the use of Indian lands, for the regulation of town sites, providing for the ousting of intruders and authorizing the Dawes commission to prepare a, roll of citizens. The provision in regard to town sites will allow the incorporation of town companies and permit them to purchase their site* from the Indians with the consent of the national government granting a lease in the meantime. Two men recently killed by tae law died with protestations of innocence on their lips, and the result is some sympathetic comment In their behalf. But we believe the last words of distinguished murderers convicted on circumstantial evidence have been of that character in eight out of ten cases; and it Is a fair inference that the person capable of murder is likewise capable of the minor crime of lying even at the moment of his punishment. Possibly, too, he has proclaimed his innocence so many times that he has come to believe in it himself, however guilty he may be. It is clear bluff; and again he may have a courteous objection in behalf of himself to denial of his previous important statements. The agitation over "black bread" which was started in Chicago has been transferred to congress. Senator Mason has introduced a bill in the senate placing an internal revenue tax on blended flour made from c o n flour and wheat flour mixed. It has developed that nearly all the country south of the Ohio River is using blended flour, and that this product has gradually been introduced into the northern markets. Its use has recently increased owing to the growing scarcity of good winter wheat, and the further fact that Joseph Leiter has purchased more than 15,000,- Uag It tor what Is considered an iaevftable rise to $1.60 abusheL There promise* to be a battle royal between the corn and wheat floor miller*. ATTHEW Henry, Albert B a r n e s , A d a m C l a r k , Thomas Scott, and all the commentators pass by theso verses without any especial r e m a r k . The other twenty people mentioned in the chapter were distinguished f o r something and were therefore discussed by the illustrious expositors; but nothing is said about Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, Philologus and Julia. Where were they born? No one knows. When did they die? There is no record of their decease. For what were they distinguished? Absolutely nothing, or the trait of character would have been brought out by the apoistle. If they had been very intrepid; or opulent, or hirsute, or musical of cadence, or crass . of style, or in any wise anomalous, that feature would have been caught by the apostolic camera. But they were good people, because Paul sends to them his high Christian regards. They were ordinary people moving in ordinary sphere, attending to ordinary duty and_mee t ingordInary responsibilities. What the world wants is a religion for ordinary people. If there be in the United States 70,000,000 people, there aic certainly not more than 1,- 000,000 extraordinary; and then there are 69,000,000 ordinary, and we do well to turn our backs for a little while upon the distinguished and conspicuous people of the Bible and consider In our text the seven ordinary. We spend too much of our time In twisting garlands for remarkables and building thrones for magnates and sculpturing warriors and apothesizing philanthropists. The rank and file of the Lord's soldiery need especial help. The vast majority of people will never lead an army, will never write a state constitution, will never electrify a senate, will never make an im- j portant invention, will never introduce j a philosophy, will never decide , the fate of a nation. You do not exwomen in the ordinary duties of housekeeping. The wearing, grinding, unappreciated work goes on, but the same Christ who stood xm the bank of Galilee in the early morning and kindled the fire and had the fish already cleaned and broiling when the sportsmen stepped ashore, chilled and hungry, will help every woman to prepare breakfast, whether by her own hand, or the hand of her hired help. The God who made indestructible eulogy of Hannah, who made a coat for Samuel, her son, and carried it to the temple every year, will help every woman In preparing the family wardrobe. The God who opens the Bible with the story of Abraham's entertainment by the three angels on the plains of Mamre, will help every woman to provide hospitality, however rare and embarrassing. It is high time that some of the attention we have been giving to the remarkable women of the Bible—remarkable for their virtue, or their want of it, or remarkable for their deeds—Deborah and Jezebel, and Herodias and Athalia, and Dorcas and the Marys, excellent and abandoned— it is high time some of the attention we have been giving to these conspicuous women of the Bible be given to Julia, an ordinary woman, :imid ordinary circumstances, attending to ordinary duties, and meeting ordinary responsibilities. * * * Now, what is wanted is grace—divine grace for ordinary business men, men who are harnessed from morn till night and all the days of their l i f e - harnessed In business. Not grace to lose a hundred thousand, but grace to lose ten dollars. Not grace to supervise two hundred and fifty employes in a, factory, but grace to supervise the bookkeeper and two salesmen, and the small boy that sweeps out the store. Grace to invest not the eighty thousand dollars of net profit, but the twenty- five hundred of clear gain. Grace not to endure the loss of a whole shipload of spices from the Indies, but grace to endure the loss of a paper of collars from the leakage of a displaced shingle on a poor roof. Grace not to endure the tardiness of the American Congress in passing a necessary law, but grace to endure the tardiness of an errand boy stopping to play marbles when he ought to deliver the goods. Such a grace as thousands of business men have today—keeping them tranquil, whether goods sell or do not sell, whether customers pay or do not pay, whether tariff Is up or tariff Is down, whether the crops are luxuriant or a dead failure—calm in all circumstances and amid all vicissitudes. That is the kind of grace we want. pect to; you do not want to. You will not be a Moses to lead a nation out of bondage. You will not be a Joshua to prolong the daylight until you can shut five kings in a cavern. You will not be a St. John to unroll an Apocalypse. You will not be a Paul to preside over an apostolic college. You will not be a Mary to mother a Christ. You will more probably be Asyncritus or Phlegon, or Hermas, or Patrobas, or Hermes, or Philologus, or Julia. Many of you are women at the head of households. Every morning you plan for the day. The culinary department of the household is in your dominion. You decide all questions of diet. All the sanitary regulations of your house are under your supervision. To regulate the food and the apparel and the habits, and decide the thousand questions of home life is a tax upon brain and nerve and general health absolutely appalling, if there be no divine alleviation. It does not help you much to be told that Elizabeth Fry did wonderful things amid the criminals at Newgate. It does not help "you much to be told that Mrs. Judson was very brave among the Bornesian cannibals, ft does not help you very much to be told that Florence Nightingale was very kind to the wounded in the Crimea. It would be better for me to tell you that the divine friend of Mary and Martha is your friend, and that he sees all the annoyances and disappointments and abrasions, and exasperations of an ordinary housekeeper from morn till night, and from the ! first day of the year until the last day of the year, and at your call he Is ready with help and reinforcement. They who provide the food of the world decide the health of the world. You have only to go on some errand amid the taverns and the hotels of the United States and Great Britain to appreciate the fact that a vast multitude of the human race are slaughtered by incompetent cookery. Though a young woman may have taken lessons in music, and may have taken lessons in painting, and lessons in astronomy, she is not well educated unless she has taken lessons in dough! They who decide the apparel of the world, and the food of the world, decide the endurance of the world. An unthinking man may consider It a matter of little Importance—the cares of the household and the jjcono'- tnltn of domes tic life but I tclfr~you the earth is strewn with the martyrs of kftchen and nursery. The healthshattered womanhood of America cries oat tor a God who can help ordinary / Millions o~f men—want—it;—antrthey may have it for the asking. Souse hero or heroine comes to town, and as the procession passes through, the streets the business men come out, stand on tiptoe on their store steps and look at some one who in Arctic clime, or in ocean storm, or in day of battle, or in hospital agonies, did the brave thing. not realizing that they, the enthusiastic spectators, have gone through trials ip business life that are just as great before God. There are men who have gone through, freezing Arctics and burning torrids, and awful Marengoes of experience without moving five miles from their doorstep. Now, what ordinary business men need is to realize that they have the friendship of that Christ who looked after the religious interests of Matthew, the custom house clerk, and helped Lydla, of Thyatira, to sell the dry goods, and who opened a bakery and fish market in the wilderness of Asia Minor to feed the seven thousand who had come out on a religious picnic, and who counts the hairs on your head with as much particularity as though they were the plumes of a coronation, and who took the trouble to stoop down with his finger writing on the ground, although the first shufflle of feet obliterated the divine caligraphy, and who knows just how many locusts there were in the Egyptian plague, and knew just how many ravens were necessary to supply Elijah's pantry by the brook Cherith, and who, as floral commander, leads forth all the regiments of primroses, foxgloves, daffodils, hyacinths, and lilies, which pitch their tents of beauty and kindle their campfires of color all around the hemisphere —that that Christ and that God knows the most minute affairs of your business life and however inconsiderable, understanding all the affairs of that woman who keeps a thread and needle store as well as all the affairs of a Rothschild and a Baring. Then there are all the ordinary farmers. We talk about agricultural life, and we immediately shoot off to talk about Cincinnatus, the patrician, who went from the plow to a high position, and aft<jr he got through the dictatorship, in twenty-one days, went back again to the plow. What encouragement is that to ordinary farmers? The vast majority of them—none of them will be patricians. Perhaps none of them will be senators. If any of them hate dictatorships, it will be over for keep cheerful amic no drouth that destroys th« corn crop, and that enables them to restore the garden the day after the neighbor's cattle have broken in and trampled out the strawberry bed, and gone through the Lima bean patch, and eaten up the sweet corn in such large quantities that they must be kept from the water lest they swell up and ilia Gnu;* «n catching weather that enables tuom, without imprecation, to spread out the hay the third timp. although again, aud again, and usftn. it has been almost ready for the mow.

Better close up about Cincinnatus. I know five hundred farmers just aB noble as he was. What they want is to know that they have the friendship of that Christ who often drew his similes from the farmer's life, as when he said, "A sower went forth to sow," as when he built his best parable out of the scene of a farmer boy coming back from his wanderings, and the old farm house shook that night with rural jubilee; and who compared himself to a lamb in the pasture field, and who said that the eternal God is a farmer, declaring, "My father is the husbandman." Those stone masons do not want to hear about Christopher Wren,, the architect, who built St. Paul's Cathedral. It would be better to teli them how to carry the hod of brick up the ladder without slipping, and how on a cold niorning, with the trowel to smooth off the mortar and keep cheerful, and how to be thankful to God for the plain food taken from the pail by the roadside. Carpenters, standing amid the adze, and the bit, and the plane, and the broad axe, need to be told that Christ was a carpenter, with £ i s own hand wielding saw and hammer. Ch, this is a tired world, and it is an overworked world, and it is an under fed world, and it is a wrung out world, and men and women need to know that there Is rest and recuperation In God and In that religion which was not so much intended for extraordinary people as for ordinary people, because there are more of them. * * * At an anniversary of a deaf and dumb asylum, one of the children wiutc up-- on the blackboard words as sublime as the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the "Divina Commotlia" all compressed In one paragraph. The examiner, in the signs of the mute language, asked her, "Who made the world?" The deaf and dumb girl wrote upon the blackboard, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." The examiner asked her, "For what purpose did Christ come into the world?" The deaf and dumb girl wrote upon the blackboard, "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." The examiner said to her, "Why were you born deaf and dumb, while I hear and speak?" She wrote upon Uxe blackboard, "Even so, Father; for so it seemeth good in thy sight." Oh, that we might be baptized with a contented spirit. The spider draws poison out of a flower, the bee gets honey out of a thistle, but happiness is a heavenly elixir, and the contented spirit extracts it, not from the rhododendron of the hills, but from the lily of the valley.

What these men want is grace, to keen their patience while plowing with balky oxen, and to Women the Bent Converters. Of one thing there can be very little doubt, and that is the greater readiness in conversation of women than men. A woman can create conversation, which is a very useful thing, and is frequently found a great social difficulty. If we give a man a subject on which he knows anything at all. unless he be a fool or morbidly reticent, he can talk about it so as to make himself fairly intelligible and perhaps interesting for those to whom the subject has any interest at all. Men, when their feeling of enthusiasm is excited, throw off the slowness and hesitation which frequently cramp their power in society, just as they throw off the physical infirmity of stuttering under the Influence of some awakening theme or Bome strong sympathy. But the power of conversation in some women and not always those of re*\arkable ability, is the very art of making bricks without straw. They will talk to one by the hour about nothing—that is, on no particular subject and with no particular object, and talk coherently And not foolishly and withal very pleasantly all the time. It wt jld, we are free to confess, be rather difficult for the listener to carry away with him any mental notes of what had been said; he may not be conscious of having gained any new ideas or of having had his old ones much enlarged; but he will rise and go his way, ao one docs aftor a l i g h . and wholesome meal, sensibly cheer<*d and refreshed, but retaining no trouttesome memories of the Ingredients which have composed it Ma a/ Wonderful C a m Recorded, Hoping that Others May Ite Benefited.

Every person, male or female, shrinks from baldness. It adds to tbe appearance of age and is a serious discomfort. The cases 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 •oil. If n plant flourishes, it must have constant attention: it must be watered regularly and find its food in the soil -where it is rooted. It's so with the hair. Neglect is usually the be^inuiug of baldness. Dandruff is allowed to thicken on the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The scalp loses its vitality. The hair, insufficiei-. ly nourished, begins to fade and to fall- The instant need in such a case is tome practical preparation which, supplying the needed nourishment to the •calp, will feed the hair, give it strength, and so produce a strong and healthy growth. All this is done 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 fray or faded hair, and gives an abundant and glossy growth. Those who are threatened with upproaqhinK baldness will be interested in the following voluntary statement, made b V Alderman 8. J. Green, of Spencer, Iowa. He writes: "About four months ago, my hair com* menced falling out so rapidly that I became alarmed, and being recommended Dr. Ayer's Hair Vigor by a druggist, Z resolved to try this preparation. I have been now using it for three months, and am murfi gratified to find that my hair has ceased falling out and also that hair which had been turning gray for the past Ave yeara has been restored to its original color, dark brown. It gives me much pleasure to recommend this dressing."— S. J. GREEN, Alderman, Spencer,Iowa.

Secretary of War Alger is said to be hurrying troops to the forts about New York Washington: A telegram from Capt. Sigsbee reads: " H a v a n a — Bache." Which means t h a t t h e coast survey steamer has arrived at Havana w i t h t h e diving apparatus sent from t h e North Atlantic squadron. Another dispatch announces t h e arrival of t h e lightship tender Mangrove with t h e court of inquiry and additionl divers a n d apparatus. The court promptly began its investigations, but t h e regulations under which the proceedings take place absolutely precludes t h e conveyance by any member of the court or the court as a body to any person, even the secretary of t h e navy, of a n y facts developed during t h e progress of the inquiry, unless the action of the department was necessary upon some development to further the investigation. American* Advised to> Leave- Cuba. Havana: Consul-General Lee has informally advised Americans not necessarily detained here to leave for h o m e at once. Many families will sail as soon as possible. This is an indication t h a t they realize the possibility of trouble arising suddenly and their inability to protect women and children of American citizens if an outbreak occurred. The situation in Havana is more grave t h a n it was a week agot Although t h e officers of theJ naval board of inquiry preserve an impenetrable reserve, it Is learned t h a t some of t h e best naval experts' now believe that/£ae explosion was the result of treayw^ry. They do not believe t h a t high Spanish officials were party to t h e conspiracy, but are inclined to suspect t h a t juniorofncials instigated the deed. The further t h e inquiry into t h e cause of the disaster proceeds, the more remote appear t h e chances that a n y evidence will be discovered to show t h a t t h e disaster was due to accident. The divers have discovered cases of brown hexonite powder for t h e 10-inch guns unexploded, and believing t h a t others unexploded will be found in t h e 10-inch magazine on t h e starboard side, conviction grows t h a t this magazine did not blow up. If this be so t h e further conviction is forced t h a t t h e explosion which wrecked t h e Maine came from the outside on the port bow, as many have insisted. This theory is strengthened by the fact t h a t the main portion of the wreck was blown to starboard. W h y Did t h e Alphoheo X I I Move. The feeling over t h e Maine disaster does not grow less strained as time passes. In fact t h e feeling of resentment in t h e United States is increasing as day after day brings evidence which seems to strengthen the theory t h a t t h e Maine was destroyed as t h e result of the explosion of a torpedo or a submarine mine. Passengers arriving a t New York on t h e Ward line steamer Seguranca state t h a t great excitement prevailed a t Havana, and t h e foreign population was general in t h e opinion t h a t t h e Maine w a s destroyed by design. They cited, a m o n g other things, t h a t t h e Spanish man-of-war Alphonso X I I . , which was anchored near t h e Maine, changed h e r moorings a few h o u r s previous to t h e disaster. William L. Corbin, a prominent broker who arrived on the steamer, relates t h a t he had seen a strange little craft hovering a b o u t t h e Maine a short time before t h e explosion. F r a n k Weinheimer, a n o t h e r passenger, says t h a t he was s t a n d i n g on t h e pier 300 yards from t h e Maine when she w a s blown up. He witnessed the terrible effects of t h e explosion and then fled from t h e horrible scene, and as h e reached the center of t h e city several times Spaniards called to him: "Send us another warship, you Americans, and weTi blow t h a t up, too," and other insulting remarks. He says Americans in Havana are constantly jnsulted, and this is borne out by C. P. Holcomb w h o relates t h a t while driving to the cemetery with two American friends t o SCO t h e graves of t h e Maine's dead, they were assailed with jeers, and some one threw •.! large stone at the carriage. Sena**"' IVoclor, of Yen '..unit, aits gone to K ,\v West as the vcivional representative of_ ^'resident McKiuley to meet Consul-tJeueral Lee and receive a complet<«>stuteu)viit of*., the actual conditions in llavuua aud^ information on t h e Maine disaster which was of too vital Importance to intrust tuuiail or telegraph. It was at Hist intended t h a t Gen Lee should go to Washington and arrangeuieuts had all been made foi- a special train and a free track to carry h i m from Tampa, but the plan w a s changed. Bottling up navy oil leers by t h r e a t s of a courtmartial does not prevent t h e leading facts of the Maine inquiry becoming known. The divers a u 4 developing important results. From examination of t h e interior wreckage they have secured evidence which seems conclusive t h a t the explosion came from underneath the ship. Some J o h n Bull Talk* War Now. London: Intelligence has been received t h a t two French expeditions are advancing toward Sokoto, capital of t h e sultanate of Sokoto. in the extreme n o r t h of the Haussa states, East Africa, and t h a t six French officers w i t h a force of 200 men have arrived at A r g u n g u (Argungi) and Tagga.

Mr. Smalley will perhaps have things so arranged presently that every newcomer will be born in England. Not that it is a disgrace to be born in America; but one has to waste so much time growing up and; aaaking the money neceeaarytogo to England and die. Meanwhile the evacuation of the country by men who are ashamed of It will proceed as rapidly as possible. —Smalley sought to get his passport. The Spanish government is doing all within its power to augment the strength of her navy, and with that end in view, orders have been given to push forward the three new armored cruisers, the( Cardinal Cisneros, Princesa de Austurias and Cataluna, which this country is building, and which are described in the following articles, taken from that excellent weekly naval illustrated paper, El Mundo Naval, written by Lieutenant of the Navy Mario Rujjio Munez: , "The navy is anxiously awaiting the happy completion of the three armored cruisers which are being built in the arsenals of Ferrol, Carraea and Cartagena. The general description given in brief in a previous number, when we described to our readers the cruisers Infanta Maria Teresa, Vizcaya and Oquendo, are repeated in reference to their sister ships in all that relates to the generic type; but there will be a large number of new details which augment their fighting value in the Cardinal Cisneros, Princesa de Asturiae and Cataluna. A r m m n r u t to B e Heavier. "Apart from the small variations of external appearance, the differences to which we allude are for the main part introduced in the armamentoTTfre new cruisers, which is to be heavier and at the same time more complete. "The characteristics of these cruisers are the foktowing: Length, 106 metres; breadth; 18m. 8cm.; draught, 6m. 6cm.; displacement, 7,000 tons; engines, 15,- 000 horse power, and speed 20 knots. Armor: Belt, 31cm.; deck, 5cm.; gun position, 27cm., and conning tower, 31cm. Armament: Hontoria system, 24cm., 2; 14cm. quick firing, 10; small calibre, 20; torpedo tubes, 8. "If our readers will take the pains to compare these official figures with figures should be sufficient to inspire in the pessimists and incredulous the necessary peace of mind, to close the mouths of those who are constantly stating that the Spanish forces are defective and those who so freely criticise the naval profession in our country. "Recent experiences of such Importance as that of the battle of the Yalu, in the Chino-Japanese war, have demonstrated the supremacy of quick firing ordnance, 'and the former custom of trusting to guns of immense calibre has gone out of date, while to-day the great aim of constructors is middle sized guns well protected. With that idea in mind the new cruisers have been equipped, for the rapid firing guns are perfectly protected by armor, and with special provision for a separate supply of shell. B e t t e r Than Old Type. "These points wil) mark the supremacy of the Cardinal Cisneros, Princesa de Asturitts amlXataluna over the Infanta Maria Theresa type. . The rapid evolution which has taken place.in naval construction of modern times, age in a short time the most admired and renowned ships; the sphere of action o f t h e - critic ex pa n d s and e xtends logically under such circumstances'!"anddaring are the arguments of those who seek to show that efficiency. 1B wanting." eight years ago, and from that moment Anthony has never oeased to wear the uniform. His first active service carried him to the Carollnaa, where the Ku Klux were busily engaged in their deviltries. There he laid the foundation for his soldierly reputation. His commanding officer in those early days was Major Steward, long since retired, but still living. YearB later a young man drifted into the marine corps as a volunteer, a slender, soft-handed fellow, who was the butt of the company until "Dill" Anthony, the pride of the barracks, called a halt. The recruit proved to be the wayward son of Anthony's old major, and the big marine watched over him like a father. Anthony saw fourteen years of soldier ng, most of it cn the western plains before he threw in his fortunes with the marines. He was. always a marked man in the service, conspicuous for his magnificent physique, his cool courage, and perfect discipline. As a non-commissioned officer he A VIGOROUS BATTLE.

Nevertheless 1 had lived and fought the disease for thirty yeurs. and did not intend to die, simply because they suid HERO OF MAINE DISASTER. Brave "Bill" Anthony, marine orderly of the ill-fated battleship Maine, has a record to be proud of. Amidst the shrieks of wounded sailors and the rush of flames, with the great steel ship settling to its grave and the dead lying thick upon its shattered decks, brave The esddifttoo r of a Nebraska paper says he has "reached the slope on the other side of life," but never yet has he seen _aj_wojnian_wiUi_a frost-bitten ear, and never yet has a bonneTheeh^built~BIT as to keep the head warm. Other men have noticed that women dressed for the party have ridden' mttes in the coldest night without a particle of the discomfort felt by their warmly- ' dressed escort. These are curious facte, the scientists apparently do not know how to account for them. Those who are.studying the wheat situation are interested in the fact that the world's available wheat supply on February 1 was 152,000,000 bushels as against 173,000,000 bushels a year ago. Wheat is now commanding the highest prices in years and indications are that it will reach much higher figures before the new crop is harvested. The Chicago wheat syndicate is disposing of its holdings at fancy prices, and whenv this stock disappears, the resources of the country will be severely taxed to meet the demand. The Chicago market advanced three cents last week, and it is expected that all ret> ords for high prices will be broken before the deal is closed. ^ "This part of the garden fa the goveminent tangle." The speaker laughed at the mystified looks of her guests. "Bach year my father, a voter, receives from our congressman three puny grape-vines, one or two currant and raspberry bushes, a few packages of aster, marigold and pumpkin seeds, and a pint of wax beans. They are thrown la here and left to live or die, as they please." For like sarcastic recipients t h i s government annually appropriate* one hundred and thirty thousand dorlari; nevertheless, a careful review of the department reports fails to reveal a single case of benefit to agriculture from the free distribution of plants and seeds.

It has not been unusual for one young woman to undertake to reform one fOfung man, but until now we have not heard of a case where an attempt was made to round up several hundred young men and make one wholesale reform Job of the whole batch. However, we wish the girls success.

In addition to this there is the finer model which will add still further speed. The armored belt which defends the vital parts of the Cardinal Cisneros is larger and the quality of the plates has improved, and we maintain hopes that the sister ship in Bilbao will have even stronger resistive power. The defensive power of the whole has also increased not a little, for they have the exceptional advantage of the installation of a battery of 14cm. quick firing guns. Compared w i t h Our S h i p s . "It seems, in our opinion, well to form comparative data with other navies as the best means of appreciating the relative value of the national forces and with that object in view we present to our readers for reference and analogy the three most powerful armored cruisers flying the United States flag, which serve to-day as the sword of Damocles to our Spanish pessimists. "The four fundamental properties of this class of ship, power defensive and offensive speed and radius of action, can be easily appreciated by the data which follows: Anthony made his report to Captain Sigsbee. That report—the essence of courage and discipline—should live In American history. "Sir," said the gallant orderly, standing at salute. "I have to inform you that the ship has been blown up and is sinking." "Bill" Anthony has carried a rifle in Uncle Sam's service since he was 17 years old. His father was a boss truckman in New York in the old days when Fifty-ninth street was out in the suburbs, and "Bill" was born within a stone's throw of the battery. He was a natural born soldier, six feet two Inches tall, broad-shouldered, narrowhipped, slender-limbed, and stouthearted. The family moved to New Jersey just about the time "Bill" completed a rather turbulen career in the public schools and one morning he. vanished. "Bill" had enlisted. That happened twenty- DIVER ON THE WRECKED MAINE, filled every position known to the military code, and filled them well. There was just one blemish in brave "Bill's" character—a blemish which many believe alone kept him out of a commission. "Bill" would drink, not often to excess, but invariably just at the wrong time, when his commanding officersfavorite though he was—could not wink at the offense^.. .) His last army service was at West Point, where he figured to the admiration of cadets and everybody else, as drum major. "Bill's" splendid figure and profound knowledge ] of Boid^ery won him this appointment, ., « Ten years ago he left the army and enlisted as a marine. It was tbe^old story over again—rapid advancements, followedxby the inevitable' setbacks, all due to unwise conviviality. Not that "Bill" ever transgressed while on d,uty —for a firrti^r dWrplir/arian never wore a marine'^uiil form. Over at tfae- I Want to Swear to That.

The Hall Bros.' Chemical works at Kalamazoo was discovered to be on fire at 10 p. m. and the entire fire department turned out to subdue the flumes. The firemen had about succeeded in controlling the blaze in the uppers toriea when there was a tremendous explosion, apparently in the basement, which lifted the whole interior and the roof of the structure into the air and demolished the walls, killing at least 10 men outright and wounding over a score of others. The dead are: George llalliday, driver of chemical engine; Pat McHugh, pipemau; John Hastings, Jr., spectator helping on hose: Charles Whiting, spectator; James Quigley, spectator helping on fire; William W'agar, fireman; L. L. Holloway, druggist; Frank Auwers, spectator; Eugene Dole, halfpay fireman; Joseph Clifford, telephone lineman. Wagar, Halliday, McHugh, Holloway, Quigley and Dole leave families. The seriously wounded are: James Utter, fireman, both legs broken; Jack McDermott, fireman, legs broken and face badly burned*; Ord Knight, fireman, head badly cut; Will Hastings, bad scalp wound and right foot blown off; George Chatterson. back broken and leg injured; Victor Vocelle, bad scalp wound and skull fractured. The building in which the explosion occurred and caused the death of ten men and seriously injured a number of others was a small four-story brick shell only 30" feet wide and 100 feet long and was located at the inter-section of Church street and the Michigan Central railroad. The thin, weak structure just burst like a cannon rocket. There was little fire to speak of. Up to the time of the explosion only an occasional faint flare was seen through the windows of the third story. It came as unexpected as a flash of lightning from a clear sky. The fire boys and citizens were working side by side, close up to the building, and no one had given the first thought of danger, although everyone knew the nature of the contents of the structure. The most remarkable feature of the disaster is the proportion of death to the size of ruins. Strange to say, also, there was not a single individual in the building when the fatal explosion occurred. Both the killed and injured were buried in the brick and mortar of the walls or struck by flying pieces. The walls of the building were but one foot/iti^Sfaickness and thA explosion simply scattered them like grape shot the mouth of a cannon. Pipeman Patrick McHugh who was working on a Ladder at the front of the building was thrown clear across Church street Important Tat Tftlo CABC. The supreme court has taken under advisement the now famous tux title case of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co. against the auditor-genera and Eugene B. Wood. The* supreme court recently decided in favor of the for'nier, but granted a rehearing. The state's attorneys argue that if the court reaffirms its former decision, the immediate effect would be to exempt about 34,000,000 of delinquent taxes from collection, and that 0,000 people who had bought 1,500 homesteads, aggregating 1213,000 acres, and had matte improvements valued at 8450,000, would be rendered homeless, to say nothing of the 8750,000 of taxes that would be canceled on those lands. Such a decission would bankrupt the treasuries of the state and municipalities; paralyze the collection of the revenue; necessitate rewriting the books of the auditorgeneral's office; necessitate a new law; nullify the work of the ia8U tax commission; prevent the collection of taxes assessed and returned prior to the law of 1891; bury the supreme and circuit courts under an avalanche of litigation; invalidate all but the first year's sales; cause a loss to the state, of hundreds of thousands of dollars on advertising fees and charges: destroy the state tax land lists, and cause the utmost confusion in pending legal proceedings.

Over 300 miners employed in the Monitor and Hay county coal mines are on a strike for an eight-hour workday and an increase in wages. Good miners can earn as much as 83 per day under the present scale, whioL is 82¾ to 92¾ cents per ton for coal over a oneinch screen. The Hay county scale is 17¾ cents a ton higher than the Saginaw scale. Tne one-inch screen is also used by Saginaw operators. and struck the wall of Clarage & Son's foundry on the opposite side. The entire basement of the building was devoted to the laboratory. The offices occupied the front part of the first floor and back of it was the labeling room and stock room. The second floor was used as a store room for empty bottles and the pill factory. The entire third floor was occupied by the Kalamazoo paper box factory. The monetary loss is comparatively slight. That of Hall Bros. & Co. is about ¢25,- 000, and of the paper box firm 85,000. Both firms are almost fully insured. Had the Village Fathers Arrested. Timothy Nester, president of the village of Munising, has caused the arrest of Councilmen P. T. Moore, David Bruneau and John T. Hansen. ex-Councilman T. E. Bissell, and Claude W. Case, cashier of the Munising State bank, and Michael S. Somers, representing the Shaw-Kendall Engineering Co., of Toledo, charging them with conspiracy to defraud the village in the matter of putting in a 330.000 waterworks system. Mr. Case resented the charge and promptly had President Nester arrested on a charge of slander. Both sides have engaged good legal talent and an interesting fight is anticipated. Natural Ga» at Fort Huron. A company organized at Port Huron for the development of the natural gas •apply believed to be located underneath that locality, struck a gusher on the E. £. Marootte property when down only 104 feet. The well was plugged up until a gauge could be attached and the exact pressure ascertained. If the present pressure continues the amount of gas to beobtained from the wells is said to be sufficient to supply the present needs of the. entine city. / Watenaaeet Badly Scorched. The business part, of the village of Watersmeet was destroyed by fire. Vhetaas is estimated at 825,000, with but little insurance. This is the third big fire there within two years. The •loves will probably not be rebuilt. Among the buildings destroyed were the Commercial house and John Kelly's 4lry goods store. Pliigree Name* Maltz to Succeed Juat* Gov. Pingree announced the appointment of George L. Maltz, of Detroit, formerly of Alpena, to the office of state banking commissioner, tc succeed the late Banking Commissioner Just. The appointment was no*, unexpected, and it is understood the governor had received the assurance of the appointee that it would be accepted. The appointment is quite generally commended. Boiler Burst—Mill Blown Up—Two Dead A frightful accident occurred in Clark & Acker's shingle mill at Wetmore. The boilers blew up. entirely destroying the. mill, killing two men and fatally injuring others. The dead are: Hugh Long and Peter Morris. George Moore, of Au Train, ex-sheriff of Alger county, is perhaps fatally injured. Peter IJrix and Herman Zantz are both badly wounded, while several others have slight injuries. The loss is estimated at about $2,000. J. M. Bo.-;l\vivk, cashier of the Minden City bank, and his wife and child werefound uncouscious in their bed from coal gas.

One of the most extensive and richest deposits of marl in Michigan has been discovered south of Mosherville, in Hillsdale county. A stock company with 8100,000 capital has secured leases of adjacent lands. The Crump Manufacturing Co., of Bay City, has received a large order for dynamite and cartridge boxes. As the government manufactures its own boxes to meet ordinary demand this must be an emergency order. The Chamber of Commerce of Kalamazoo held a meeting and subscriptions amounting to $2,000 were made, which with others makes 83,000 so far for the families of firemen killed by the Hall chemical works explosion. Ex-Secretary of State J. W. Jochim, of Ishpeming, announces his candidacy for the office again. Gov.

There are rumors and rumors as well as multitudinous surmises, conjectures and theories as to the cause of the destruction of the warship, the probable report of the board of inquiry and the proposed action of the administration at Washington. Notwithstanding all this uncertainty there are certain surface indications which are observed with interest by all who are watching the progress of affairs. Among these may be mentioned an interview given out by Secretary of the Navy Long at the close of a meeting of President McKinley's cabinet, in which he expressed the opinion that "in his judgment any official participation by the Spanish government in the blowing up of the vessel had been eliminated." The query that arises in the public mind is on what facts the secretary bases that opinion, for up to this time the department has announced that every dispatch bearing on the disaster has been given to the "public. It is well that the Secretary in his statement does not use the word "responsibility," for whatever the report of the court may be there is little doubt but that this government will hold the Spanish government responsible in damages for the loss of the battleship and lives of the men.

Mrs. George Davidson, aged 28, wife of a carpenter at St. Joseph, left her home at night dressed only in her night gown, and with her two weeks' old babe in her arms. She boarded the tug Hohn and from thence plunged into the river, and both mother and child were drowned. The body of Mrs. Davidson was recovered, but the babe was probably swept out into the lake. Richard Schuler, a deaf mute, was ran down by a Grand Trunk engine at Port Huron and shockingly mutilated while walking along the Grand Trunk track. The engineer blew his whistle, and expecting the man to step aside made no effort to stop until too late to avoid the accident.

George Sogers a young man living near Howard City, was sent to town to buy a coffin and make arrangements for the funeral of bis mother, his father giving him the money.

The money spent was all the aged father had in the world, and he lias been taken to the Soldiers' home. The mother was burh in t: fitter's field. At the capitol there has been a great deal of adverse criticism of the administration for its apparent policy of peace at any price. Where there was a few days ago an evidence of a strong policy on this question and an indication that Spain would be dealt with in a firm but just manner, there is now a complete change of seniment, and the administration is beginning to talk of the possibility of settling the whole affair through the ordinary channels of diplomacy. Diplomacy, it is contended by many public men, cannot deal properly with this subject, for diplomacy means delay and aggravating postponements of the final day of reckoning. However, congress may intervene. It has the constitutional power to declare war. Once Capt. Sigsbee is exonerated it will be difficult to restrain the representatives of the people. Already there are mutterings against the acceptance of an indemnity for the murder of our brave sailors-and more than one member of the House has said that unless the administration takes satisfactory action without unnecessary delay the representatives will take a hand in the case. There are threats that the Spaniards will not be humored in procrastination. The stiff announcement from Madrid that Spain never will consider an offer to purchase Cuba has shown with what contempt that people will regard our talk of monejv for the loss of the battleship Maine. Secretary of War Alger is showing a spirt which is gratifying to patriotic Americans, although he has won the disapproval of certain conservative statesmen who "don't want business disturbed by warlike action." Gen. Alger gave an order to the Carpenter Steel Co., the Mid vale Steel Co. and the Firth Sterling Steel Co., for 81,000,000 worth of projectiles to be deHvered as soon as the Lord will let those concerns make them. Some of the grunters objected to this kind of action and intimated that congress might refuse to make an appropriation to pay for the projectiles, when a prominent congressman replied tartly: "Secretary Alger is all right. He has made other contracts for material, and as long as he is secretary of war this country will have the material to fight with, appropriation or no appropriation. He is placing our military forces upon a splendid footing and if the congress of the United States does not appropriate money to pay for it Gen Alger will pay it out of his own pockets." Without adding unnecessarily to the flood of conjecture concerning the finding of the court of inquiry it is fair to say that as a matter of fact most of the naval officers at Havana and at Key West incline to the opinion that the court will find that the disaster to the Maine was caused by the explosion of a floating submarine miae under the port aWe of the ship forward. Opinions agree, not only as to the existence of mines in the harbor, but also that this one was laid purposely near the buoy where foreign vessels were directed to moor, anO was fired from an electric battery qn shore. It is further regarded as settled by the evidence before the court that the port side of the hull forward was completely blown to pieces and that the only explosion on the Maine, except of isolated cases of fixed ammunition, was that of 2,000 pounds of saluting powder, stored forward, and of which «o trwe van be found, t j ! Notes en the War Situation. The Spanish cruiser Vizcaya has arrived at Hava»a from New York. Sha was given a big reception by the Spanish residents. Two'Spanishdivers have begun work about the wreck of the Maine, and it is understood they will report to the Spanish board appointed to inquire into the cause of the disaster. Martin Iledding, a diver who was taken to Havana to work on the wreck of the Maine,, has returned to Key West. It is said that lie talked too much and displeased the court of inquiry. The American divers who ar$ working steadily forward are encountering continual difficulties, and it is certain that the arrival of the wrecking tug Merritt with a large barge, additional men and complete apparatus will now hasten the work of salvage. Two warships are to be sent to Cuba, the cruiser Montgomery to Matanzas and the gunboat Nashville to Sagua la Grande, to carry relief supplies to the suffering Cuban reconeentrados at those ports The relief measures are proving unexpectedly successful and supplies are running into carloads ajid hundreds of tons. Secretary Long has authorized an absolute and positive denial of a report that a partial or preliminary report has been received by the government from the court of inquiry. The court is directly under the orders of Admiral Sicard. It is understood at Washington the court has not completed its work at Havana. Secretary Alger does not like the assertion of Secretary Long that the theory of the participation of Spain in the Maine disaster has been eliminated from the situation. He says it is only a personal expression with no foundation of fact. Speaker Reed says that "Long is an ass." President MeKinley has also expressed disapproval of Long'sopinions^. The situation at Havana is said to be quiet, with no open demonstrations against Americans. Of course, in the low dives and saloons there are constant boasts by irresponsible persons as to what they intend to do to Americans; but these people are only dangerous in case riotous demonstrations came from other quarters, such, for instance, as the volunteers. "On the day that the white squadron opens fire on Havana Maximo Gomez at the head of the Cuban patriot army will begin an attack by land. He will keep on lighting until Havana surrenders or nothing is left of it but a heap of ruins." These were the words of Col. Kmilio Nunez, of New York, who commanded the filibustering expedition which has just been landed in Cuba from the steamer Dauntless. In reply to a suggestive question a naval official at Havana said: "The court of inquiry has not had to depend upon dive***—testimony—alone"—then,— realizing that he had said more than he iutended, the officer resumed his habitual reserve. It is believed that the testimony of Lieutenant-Commander Wainwright' was highly important as bearing on the question of the existence of submarine mines in Havana harbor. The work of getting ready for service the various war vessels out of commission is being rapidly pushed. Capt. Mortimer Johnson has been assigned *• as commander of the monitor Mianton- Vi omah. which is now nearly ready to leave League island. The cruisers Columbia and Minneapolis will follow shortly afterward, and orders have been issued to test t h e machinery of the eight old single-turret war monitors at League island with a view of using them to command channel approaches. In reply to the strong denial of Senor du Bosc, Spanish charge d'affairs at Washington, that there are mines,in the harbor of Havana, the diplomats show that Senor de Lome frequently alluded to Hav&naV magnificent defenses. At the time Senator Mills said in the senate, "Let us take Cuba," de Lome remarked contemptuously to an American professor Of history who was visiting him at the time: "Let them take the mines from Havana harbor first. Even Constantinople is not more safe from this threatened invasion." The New York Herald's Havana correspondent asserts positively that the Maine is completely torn asunder. The keel has-' been found in two pieces, the nearest ends of which are now separated by distance of from two and a half to three feet. The sections are no longer lying in one straight line, but show the effect of a force exerted from port to starboard. It is evident, from the discovery of the present condition of the keel, that the section of the bottom found 29 feet from its natural position was wrenched from the keel by the first explosion and driven upwards. The keel itself was forced in the middle until it was broken in two, and then collapsed in two sections. This has convinced the men working about the wreck that further investigation aa to the manner in which the ship was blow.n ,up is useless, au4 thpjj qauaider the question solved beyond a doubt. The feeling among American naval officers in Havana is that, beyond the the recovery of the dead remaining in tin EFiifriiiH useful \vpckt in oonnec- AftaaMlth the Wreck hffs J)«eu done. * VMky: • « •W M*»M imf'i ili—fci'iiiir >^ *&Mmiem*dMimmi*i MHPwmfPv* •PWPPP«» J l . l ^ l l l l I I I I I I I I P llll I I * f l l M i l l 1114*1 - >« • t, J- J\ A FRIEND'S ADVICE.

At sixty-one she fiudd liejsel/ so active and strong she can do work, that would shame many a younger woman, and looks back on thirty-six happy, healthful yeara of industry. But lei her tell her story : "Thirty-six years ago I had great trouble with my Ijver.

I was at that time earniug my living a* a tailored, but for five years, between tlie pain in my side and the blisters I was iu constant misery, and work was a draff to me, with no prospect of relief; fortunately for me, however, a Irieuii advised me to take Dr. Ayer's Barsaparilla, and finally persuaded jne to take a regular course of it. When I first commeticcd taking the Sarsaparilla my side was so painful that I could not faste'n my dress, ami for u timo I did not get any reliel, but my friend advised me to persevere and relief was sure to come, and come it did.

Riches are not an end of life, but an instrument of life. One of Mrs. Pinkham's Talks Concerning a Mother's Duty to Her Young Daughter. Together with a Chat with Miss Marie Johnson. The balance wheel of a woman's life is menstruation. On the proper performance of this function depends her health. Irregularity lays the foundation of many diseases, and is in itself symptom of disease. I t is of the greatest importance that regularity be accomplished as soon as possible after the flow is an established fact. Disturbance of the menstrual function poisons the blood. In young girls suppression develops latent inherited tendencies to scrofula or consumption, and no time must be lost in restoring regularity. Many a young girl goes to her grave because this difficulty has been thought lightly of, and mother has said, "Time will bring about a cure; she is young, I don't worry about her." Mother, when you see your daughter languid and indifferent to things that usually interest a young girl, when you note that flush on her cheek, that glassy appearance in her eyes; when your daughter tells you that even the weight of her dress waist oppresses her, and that she has terrible pains in her stomach shortly after eating, don't ignore these signs! If you do, you will be following your daughter to the grave, for she will die ! This is gospel truth—she is developing consumption of the bowels I Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the greatest regulator known t o ihedicine. Make haste to use it on the first appearance of the tell-tale symptoms; it will restore all the female organs to their normal condition. Miss Marie Johnson's letter to Mrs. l'inkham, which follows, should interest all mothers and young ladies. She says: '** My health became so poor that I had to leave school. I was tired a-il the time, and had dreadful pains In my side and back. I would have the headache so badly that everything would appear black before my eyes, and I could not go on with my studies.

CHAPTER XVII.—(Continued.) proud and happy to be She had a pretty little brass stand, a tray, spirit lamp and kettle, and with this apparatus she always made the tea herself with much pride, and some help from Dick. It generally fell to Dick's lot to light the lamp, but today she was all ready for him, and had but to turn up the light a little to have the water bjlling. "There," she said, after about five minutes," and handing him a cup of tea. Now tell me all—everything." "Well," said Dick, finding himself thus fairly up in a corner, and unable to put off the evil moment any longer, "I went." "Yes?" eagerly. "And I saw her ladyship." "Oh! and is she up?" "Up! My dear child, Lady Aylmer is as well as I am," he answered. Dorothy looked at him in wonder. "Oh! Dick," ehe cried, "but what a wicked old man?" "Ah! I fancy it runs In the blood," said Dick, easily. "One man couldn't have so much original sin of ins own as the old 3tivage hai,; it muoi be heredity." 'Ihen do you think you will tell horribly wicked stories when you are Lord Aylmer, Dick?" she asked, roguishly. Perhfips—who knows? All the same able to do something to help you," she replied. "I would rather that you were here; but, then, I would always rather that you were here. That is not a new feeling for me. And I shall not be alone. I shall have Barbara, you know. Barbara will take care of me, and let yon know exactly how I get on." "No; I cannot let you do it," he said, when she paused. "Yea, yes, you can, dear. Besides, it is not only ourselves that we have to think of. There 1B the child; and although If we go to India together, we might be able to get along pretty well by ourselves, we should not be able to afford to send the child home, if the climate was bad for it. Why, Dick dear, we should not be able to afford to come home ourselves, if we could not stand the, heat." "That is true," he admitted. "And don't you think," she went on eagerly, "that I would rather live as I am doing npw for a year or two longer than I would run the risk of seeing you die, perhaps, because we had not money to bring us home? Just think what I should feel like if we were in such a case as that." "But, darling, you don't know—you don't realize how very different life would be out there," he urged. "Here, very few people take the trouble to there is-one story—t-shall never taft-L notice us, one way or aaotherr-and if ; t you," drawing her tenderly toward him. "I shall always be true as the Gospels when I tell you that I love you better than any other woman in all the world." Something in his voice touched the tenderest chords of her heart, and set throbbing and beating with a sickening sensation of fear. "Dick," she said in a whisper, "is it very bad news that you are trying to break to me— dues it mean India, after all?" Dick looked straight into her clear eyes. "My dear little love," he said, "I am afraid it does mean India, after all; but if it does, ii --mall mean India for us both." He told her everything then—how Lady Aylmer had received him, how she had openly declared that her husband had some scheme of his own to get rid of then? both, how the old savage had rece/.^d him, and what end their interview" had come to. But, of course," he Wound up7 "although"!" took time to consider it, my mind was made up in a moment. I shall refuse the appointment." There was a moment's silence. "Di%;k, dearest," said Dorothy, in a quivering voice, "is it a very good thing to be a military secretary to a governor-general ?" "Oh, well—yes—it is, dear," he admitted. "I mean, would you have refused it if you had not been married, if you had never seen me?" "No, I don't suppose I should. I dare say I should never have bothered to get such an appointment, because, as you know, I hate the very idea of going to India, but, at the same time, to be quite honest, I don't suppose I should have refused. I don't suppose any man in his senses would." Dorothy drew her breath sharply, and for a minute or two did not speak. "Dick, darling," she said at length, "it is true that you are married, but I don't see that that is any reason why you should not be in your senses, too." "What do you mean, Dorothy?" he asked quickly. "Well, just this. Supposing that Lord Aylmer had let you refuse this appointment, and had not made himself disagreeable about your allowance, we should have to go on just as we are doing now. And, of course, Dick dear, I should like to be Mrs. Aylmer instead of Mrs. Harris, and to live with the regiment rather than in Palace Mansions; but—but, at the same time, since there is so much to be gained by it, I would just as soon be Mrs. Harris in one place as in another, if I must be Mrs. Harris at all." Dick caught her close to him. "Dorothy, you mean " he began. "I mean," she ended firmly, "that I would sooner go ttfTndia as^Mrs. Harris than drag you down in your profession, and put you at loggerheads with your uncle; because he is your uncle, and the head of your family, even though he is such an old savage as he is." "But, my dear, my dear, do you know that In that case I should have to go at once" he cried. "Yes, I know that, Dick," she an s wared. "But I can't leave you alone, lust now—I can't, Dorothy," he exclaimed. "It's impossible; it would be inhuman. Why, I should be out of my mind with aaudsty and distress." ***»«, «M>—you would kgrfW that I WSJI they do, it does not much matter. But out there, as military secretary, I should have a lot to do. I should scarcely have a moment to myself. I should not be able to go anywhere with you, and probably very seldom be able to come and see you." But you would be able to come sometimes,'' she answered, with a brave smile. "Every one knows that half a loaf is better than no bread, and if one cannot get even half a loaf, it is foolish to quarrel with the slice which keeps one from starving." Dick's heart felt like to break, "Dorothy, Dorothy," he said, "my dear little brave, unselfish wife, every word you say makes me love you a thousand times more than I did before. My dearest, I give in to anything that you wish; you shall decide everything, and I—I will give all the rest of my life to trying to make you feel that you did not throw away your love and con- -ftdence when—you gave—them to ore.** So they arranged that Dick should accept the appointment of military sec- "DOROTHY! DOROTHY!" retary to Lord Skevversleigh, and that two days later he should go and see his uncle again, and tell him the decision to which he had come. Dorothy had begged him to go and see him the following day, but Dick held out firmly there. No, he would have one more day of liberty before he went over to the enemy and gave himself up. "We will have a real happy day, darling," he said, when Dorothy had/ given way about imparting the ne^s to the savage. "By-and-by we shall have more money than opportunity of spending it together—let us m&Ke hay while we can. First, we win go and have a look at the shops together, and I will buy you somethingyou can always wear "till we meet again; then we will go to some gptod place and get a little lunch; and afterwards have a drive, come bacK here, dress, dine somewhere, a n d d o a theater after it. There, what db you say to that for a real happy day?" Dorothy/said that it would be delightful/ and thought—well, with something like dismay, that she should never get through it all. Yet the fear of/once giving way and breaking down ltogether kept her up, and she went bravely through with that happy day, which afterwards lived in her mind as being one long spell of agony. And after that she wore upon her wrist Dick's trust gift to her—a sjoMen bangle, with two words inscribes upon it in little diamonds, which caught the light inH flaahftri th«<r m "% CHAPTER. XVHL ORD AyhBtr slttlng alo«« in hi* library, smoking a cigarette, and wondering what answer Dick would bring him when he thought proper to come again to give in his decision. He was a handsome old man, not BO very old in years, but aged in wickedness. A handsome man still, with aquiline features, a flushed face, and a goodly crop of white curly hair. Your first thought on looking at him was, "What a charming old gentleman!" your second, "What a pair of steely eyes!" your third, "What a Mephistopheles!" Yes, without the shadow of a doubt, Lord Aylmer was a wicked man, with a bad heart filled to the brim, and running over with all manner of evil. They say, you know, that women' novelists always make their heroes all good, till they are as insipid' as the dummies in a tailor's window; or ett>e that they go to the other extreme, an<i make their villlans such unmitigated villians that it is impossible to find one single ray of virtue wherewith to redeem their character from its inky pall of utter blackness. But let me tell you that if all the women novelists who write stories in the English language were to concentrate their efforts, upon the task of trying to depict the villainy of Lord Ayhner's natural depravity, I am afraid that in the end they would have to call in the aid of their masculine confreres to adequately complete the portrait. For the noble lord was jail bad, thor-^ oughly bad—what up in the nortfe country they call "bad, core through/ Yet he had a delightful manner when he chose, and in early middle age had made a genuine love-snatch with a beautiful young woman at least sixteen years younger than himself—* penniless as well as a beautiful young woman, upon whom he had lavished so much love and attention that within three months of his marriage his love had burned itself out, and was as dead as any dead volcano. A few weeks later Lord Aylmer practically separated himself from his wife, although they continued to share the same house, and he appeared before tbe world as much as possible as If no breach had ever been opened between them. Not by Lord Aylmer's desire, this— oh! no, but because her ladyship had never been so genuinely in love w^t> him as he had been with her, and was, moreover, perfectly alive to the solid worldly advantages of being Lord Aylmer's wife, the mistress of Aylmer's Field and of the handsome town house in v,elgrave Square. "Of course I know that there are others," she said in reply to a dear friend who thought it her duty to open this young wife's eyes," "and, of course, I know that Aylmer wants to get rid of me; but I don't mean to be got rid of, and I put up with the others because I think doing so the lesser of two evils. There is only one Lady Aylmer, and she is a strong and healthy young woman, who means to be Lady Aylmer for at least fifty years longer. Yes, I know, my dear, all that you feel about it. I quite appreciate your feelings toward me. Oh, yes, it was your duty to tell me, but I am not going to cut myself out of all that makes life worth living just to oblige a husband who has got tired of me in three months." To this decision Lady Aylmer had from that time forward kept most rigidly. As far as her husband was concerned, nothing seemed to annoy her, and whenever she wished to do so and condescended to try to get her own wajy by means of a little flattery, she generally succeeded; and now that Lord/Aylmer had got into the "sixties" she was simply a stately, even-temperedf, iron-willed and exceedingly healthy /woman, who looked as if she meant to live to be ninety. It was partly on the subject of his wife's extreme healthiness that Lord Aylmer was thinking that morning ashe smoked his cigarette and tried t o assure himself that ore twinge in his left foot were merely a sign of a coming shower and nothing in the wort* to do with gout at all. And Just at a worse twinge than usual made h i s wince and shiver, the door opened gently and a man-aery ant made his appearance. (To be Continued.) Savin* CIOMC tpae* la flats.

As a community, as a church, we mourn for tbe loss of a true, mother, a >ister in Christ, whose cheery smile and helpful loving words lightened many a burden. Hers was a life m a d j beautiful with self-sacrifice and service in his name. Her liberality like t h a t of her husband, Deacon Hrown made a large place for her in many hearts. Her implicit faith in h^r Saviour, her rruth in his promises, made it possible tor one to say "she was often with the Master and men might take knowledge «'f her that she had been with Jesus," and even in her last moments, the words of the Master were on her lips.

Hard work enables a woman weaver In New Bedford to earn six dollars a week, but her employers reduce that to three dollars by fines. A little further reduction might not only wipe out the balance but oblige the woman to pay the employers a considerable weekly sum. Let us consider therefore how generous the employers are and how conservatively they use their power for tyranny. A member of the New York bar insists that not more than one-hall of the witnesses before judicial tribunals tell the truth under oath, and that the other half are conscious and deliberate perjurers. Other lawyers who have spoken on the subject agree with his general statement, although they do not place the number so high, and all of them say that this lack of veracity is a comparatively recent weakness. The present system of road building In most states is not only expensive, but absolutely inefficient. Road building'is a science, which cannot be successfully applied by men who have not made it a study. "The trained road •builder," says the New Jersey commissioner, "is just as necessary as the trained doctor, manufacturer or educator." When this fact is recognited and a system of scientific roadmaking becomes established by proper legislation, the advantages that are sure to follow will make the rural population wonder how they could have been so shortsighted as to nave put off a useful reform so long.

So the Lord our Shepnerd has a largo pasture ground. He takes us HAT with post and rail fences, and our pride in houthdowib Astrakhan and* Flemish \arleties of sheep; there is no use now of the old-time shepherd. Such an one had abundance of opportunity of becoming a poet, being out of doors twelve hours the day, and oft-times waking up in the night on the hills. If the stars, or the torrents, or the sun, or the flowers", had anything to say, he was very apt to hear it. The Ettrick Shepherd of Scotland, who afterwards took his seat in the brilliant circle of Wilson and Lockhart, got his wonderful poetic inspiration in the ten years in which he was watching the flocks of Mr. Laidlaw. There is often a sweet poetry In the rugged prose of the Scotch shepherd. One of these Scotch shepherds lost his only son, and he knelt down In prayer and was overheard to say, "O Lord, it has seemed good in thy providence to take from me the staff of my right hand at the time when to us sand-blind mortals I seemed to be most In need of it, and how I shall climb up the hill of sorrow and auld ago without it, thou mayst ken, but I dlnna." David, the shepherd boy, is watching his father's sneepr They are pasturing on the very hiPs where afterward a Lamb was born of which you have heard much, "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world." David, the shepherd boy, was beautiful, brave, musical and poetic. I think he often forgot the sheep in his reveries. There in the solitude he struck the harp string that is thrilling through the ages. David, the bo/, was gathering the material for David, the poet, and David the man. Like other boys, David was fond of using his knife among the saplings, and he had noticed the exuding of the Juice of the tree; and when he became a man, he said, "The trees of the Lord are full of sap." David, the boy. like other boys, had been fond of hunting the birds' nests and he had driven the old stork off the nest to find out how many eggs were under her; and when he became a man, he said, "As for the storkt the fir trees are her house." In boyhood "he had heard the terrific thunder— storm that frightened the red deer into premature sickness; and when he became a man, he said, "The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calve." David, the boy, had lain upon his back looking up at the stars and examining the sky, and to his boyish imagination the sky seemed like a piece of divine embroidery, the divine fingers working in the threads of light and the beads of stars; and he became a man and wrote, "When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers." When he became an old man, thinking of the goodness of God, he seemed to hear the bleating of his father's sheep across many years, and to think of the time when he tended them on the Bethlehem hills, and he cries out in thejtext, "The Lord is my shepherd." If God will help me, I. will talk to you of the shepherd's plaid, the shepherd's crook, the shepherd's dogs, the shepherd's pasture grounds and the shepherd's flocks. And first: The shepherd's plaid: It would be preposterous for a man going out to rough and besoiling work to put on splendid apparel. The potter does not work in velvet; the serving maid does not put on satin while toiling at her duties; the shepherd does not wear a splendid robe in which to go out attiidst the storms, and the rocks, and the nettles; he puts on the rough apparel appropriate to his exposed work. The Lord our Shepherd, coming out to hunt the lost sheep, puts on no regal apparel, but the plain garment of our humanity. There was nothing pretentious about it. I know the old painters represent a halo about the babe Jesus, but I do not suppose that there was any more halo about that child than about the head of any other batte that was born that Christmas eve in Judea. Becoming a man, he wore a seamless garment. The scissors and needle had done nothing to make it graceful. I take it to have been a sack with three holes in it; one for the neck, and two for the arms. Although the gamblers quarreled over It there is no evidence of its value. I have seen two rag pickers quarrel over the refuse of an ash barrel. No; in the wardrobe of heaven he left the sandals of light, the girdles of beauty, the robes of power, and put on the besotted and tattered raiment of our humanity. Sometimes he did not even wear the seamless robe. What is that hanging about the waist of Christ? Is It a badge of authority? Is It a royal to recline at the meal, and so Jesus \ in the summer to the mountains, and washes their feet, and gather,* them up in the towel to dry them. The work of saving this world was rough work, rugged work, hard work; and Jesus put on the raimeut, the plain raiment, of our flesh. The storms'were to beat him, the crowds were to jostle him, the dust was to sprinkle him, the mobs were to pursue him. Oh, Shepherd of Israel! leave at home thy bright array, For thee,'what streams to ford, what nights all unsheltered! He puts upon him the plain raiment of our humanity; wears our woes, and while earth and heaven and hell stand amazed at the abnegation.wraps around him the shepherd's plaid. "Cold mountains and the midnight air, Witnessed the fervor of his prayer." Next I mention the shepherd's crook. This was a rod with a curve at the end, which, when a sheep was going astray, was thrown over its neck; and in that way it was pulled back. When the sheep were not going astray, the shepherd would often use it as a sort of crutch, leaning on it; but when the sheep were out of the way, the crook was always busy pulling them back. All we, like sheep, have gone astray, and had it not been for the shepherd's crook, we would have fallen long ago over the precipices, Here is a man who is making too much money. He is getting very vain. He says, "After a while I shall be independent of all the world. Oh, my soul, eat, drink and be merry." Business disaster comes to him. What is God going to do with him? Has God any grudge against him? Oh, no. God is throwing over him the shepherd's crook and pulling him back into better pastures. Here is a man who has always been well. He has never had -any—sympat hy.f or_l n vallds; he calls them coughing, wheezing "hliis arrces. After"a while sickness comes to him. He does not understand what God is going to do with him. He says, "Is the Lord angry with me?" Oh, no. With the shepherd's crook he has been pulled back into better pastures. Here is a happy household circle. The parent docs not realize the truth that these children are only loaned to bira, and he forgets from what source came his domestic blessings. Sickness drops upon those children and death swoops upon a little one. He says, "Is God angry with me?" No. His shepherd's crook pulls him back into better pastures. I do not know what would have become of us if it had not been for the shepherd's crook. Oh, the mercies of our troubles! You take up apples and plums from under the shade of the trees, and the very best fruits of Christian character we find in the deep shade of trouble. —Whan-Lja^is' on the steamer, coming in the winter to the valleya. Warm dayB of prosperity come, and we stand on sun-gilt Sabbaths, and on hills of transfiguration; and we are so high up we can catch a glimpse of the pinnaclou of the heavenly city. Then cold wintry days of trouble come, and we go down into the valley of sickness, want, and bereavement, and we say, "Is there any sorrow like unto my sorrow?" But, blessed be God, the Lord'H sheep can find pasture anywhere. Between two rocks of trouble a tuft of succulent promises; green pastures beside still waters; long sweet grass between bitter graves. You have noticed the structure of the sheep's mouth? It 13 so sharp that it can take up a blade of grass or clover top from the very narrowest spot. And so God's sheep can pick up comfort where others can gather none. "The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him." Rich pasture, fountain-fed pasture, for all the flock of the Good Shepherd. The hill of Zion yields A thousand sacred sweets Before we reach the heavenly fields, Or walk the golden streets. Lastly: Consider the shepherd's fold. The time of sheep shearing was a very glad time. The neighbors gathered together, and they poured wine and danced for joy. The sheep were putin a place inclosed by a wall, where it was very easy to count them, and know whether any of them had been taken by the jackals or dogs. The inciosure was called the sheep-fold. Good news I have to tell you, in that our Lord the Shepherd has a sheep-fold, and those who are gathered in it shall,never be struck by the storm, shall never be touched by the jackals of temptation and trouble. It ba3 a high wall—so high that no troubles can get in—so -hiEhrtfrat-the jopi cannotjjetout. How glad the old sheep will be to flnd~fhe~ lambs ihat left them a good many years ago! Millions of children in heaven! Oh, what a merry heaven it will make! Not many long meter psalms there. They will be in the majority, and will run away with our song, carrying it up to a still higher point of ecstasy. Oh, there will be shouting. If children on earth clapped their hands and danced for joy, what will they do when, to the gladness of childhood pn earth, is added the gladness of childhood in heaven? It is time to get over these morbid ideas of how we shall get out of this world. You make your religion an un* dertaker planing coffins and driving hearses. Your religion smells of the varnish of a funeral casket. Rather let your religion today come and show you the sheepfold that God has provided for you. Ah, you say, there ie a ^ ^ river between this and that. I know across the ocean, I pn» n finripr~tmmr-|-ftT-rfMt thM-^rdpn jp nn1Y_jgrJ2^Lqhppri eye, and several persons tried to get it out very gently, but it could not be taken out in that way. I was told thatj the engineer had a facility in such voice long ago. They are safe nowcases. I went to him. He put his^ one fold and one Shepherd! large, sooty hand on me, took a knife, and wrapped the lid of the eye around the knife. I expected to be hurt very much, but without any pain, and instantly he removed the cinder. Oh, there come times in our Christian life, when our spiritual vision is being spoiled, and all gentle appliances fail. Then there comes some giant trouble, and black-handed, lays hold of us and removes that which would have ruined our vision forever. I will gather all your joys together in one regiment of ten companies, and I will put them under Colonel Joy. Then I will gather all your sorrows together in one regiment of ten companies, and. put them under Colonel Breakheart. Then I will ask, which of these regiments has gained for you the greater spiritual victories? Certainly that under Colonel Breakheart. In the time of war, you may remember, at the Sonth and North, the question was whether the black troops would fight; but when they were put into the struggle on both sides, they did heroically. In that great day of eternity it will be found that it was not the white regiment of joys that gained your greatest successes, but the black troops of trouble, misfortune and disaster. WThere you have gained one spiritual success from your prosperity, you have gained ten spiritual successes from your adversity. * You have noticed that different flocks of sheep have different marks upon them; sometimes a red mark, sometimes a blue mark,sometimes a straight mark, sometimes a crooked mark. The Lord our Shepherd has a mark for his sheep. It is a red mark—the mark of the cross. "Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Furthermore, consider the shepherd's pasture grounds. The old shepherds used to take the sheep upon the mountains in the summer, and dwell in the valleys in the winter. The sheep being out of doors perpetually.their wool was better than If they had been kept in the hot atmosphere of the sheep-cot. Wells were dug for the sheep and covered with large stoneB, in order that the hot weather might not spoil the water. And coat of arms?- No; it Is s towel.—Th» j t n f t B the shepherd led his flock wherdisdples' feet are filthy from the walk washing, and they shall go up on the other banks snow white. They follow the great Shepherd. They heard his Alas for those who are finally found outside the inclosure. The night o<* their sin howls with jaekals; they are thirsting for theii blood. The very moment that a la;nb may be frisking upon the hills, a bear may be looking at It from the thicket. In June, 1815, there was a very noble party gathered in a house in St. James' square, London. The prince regent was present, and the occasion was made fascinating by music.and banqueting and by jewels. While a quadrille was being formed, suddenly all the people rushed to the windows. What is the matter? Henry Percy had arrived with the news that Waterloo had been fought, and that England had wpn the day. The dance was abandoned; the party dispersed; lords, ladies and musicians rushed into the street, and in fifteen irinutes from the first announcement of the good news the house was emptied of all its guests. Oh, ye who are seated at the banquet of this world, or whirling in its gayeties and frivolities, if you could hear the sweet strains of the Gospel trumpet announcing Christ's victory over sin and death and hell, you would rush forth, glad in the eternal deliverance. The Waterloo against sin has been fought, and our commander-in-chief hath won the'day. Oh, the joys of this salvation! I do not care what metaphor, what comparison you have; bring it to me, that I may use it. Amos shall bring one simile, Isaiah another, John another. Beautiful with pardon. Beautiful with peace. Beautiful with anticipations. Or to return to the pastoral figure of my text, come, out of the poor pasturage of this world into the rich fortunes of the Good Shepherd. . The shepherd of old used to play beautiful music, and sometimes the sheep would gather around him and listen. Today my heavenly shepherd calls to you with the very music of heaven, bidding you to leave your sin and accept his pardon. Oh, that all this flock would hear the piping of the Good Shepherd. ever he would; nobody disputed ais- Prof. Dolbear sayB that what is called stupidity is simply the indication that a certain brain area is not proper* ly nourished or is without conununies- 4l«ii rHh tr-t n f i m **"** I'lio r'uUuefM T h e r e o f . Amid the discomfort* of life and the fullness therof, reaching to every family, there is that which can so easily mitigate or entirely cure, the wonder is why we endure and suffer so much. From big pains to little- I aches, which are the wear and tear of the physical structure of man, there : are always remedies good, better and '•• best.

Reports of the recent battle at Holguin, province of S a n t i a g o de Cuba, have been received from Ci^ban sources. Instead of the battle beinjj a Spanish victory, an represented fryin Havana, it w a s u disastrous defeat, followed by a retreat on the part of the Spanish forces. Uuns and a m m u n i t i o n shipped from Lonjf Island less than a month a g o were used in t h e fight. T h e Spanish forces w e r e commanded by (Jen.

His army included cavalry and artillery, the most valuable in t h e Spanish army, m a n y of them h a v i n g been on the island for three years. Ten miles from H o l g u i n the road becomes hilly and t h e rocks afford pro* tection equal to a n y modern fortification. The Cubans under Col. Roderiguez took their stand in t h i s natural fortification, near the t o w n of San Francisco.

The Monitor, a newspaper published at Ideaford, Ont., Canada, first discovered this case two years ago, and published it at length, which now seems, owing to the cure of it, to be a miracle,. The facts were so remarkable that many people doubted the truth of them, f hey said: "It is too remarkable; it cannot possibly be true; the Eaper is mistaken, and the man, although e may think himself cured, will soon relapse into his former condition," etc., etc. The accuracy of its report called in question, the Monitor determined to find out definitely whether the fact* were as stated and whether the man would really stay cured. They accordingly kept a close watch on the case for two yean after the openinghismotjth sufficiently wide to take solid food. The doctors called the disease spinal sclerosis, and all said he could not live. For three years he lingered in this condition. Then by some friends he was advised to take Dr. Williams' Pink Fills for Pale People. He took them and there was a slight change. The first thing noted was a tendency to sweat freely. This showed there was some lii'eleft inula helpless body. Next came a little feeling in his limbs. This extended, followed by pricking sensations, until at last the blood began to course freely, naturally and vigorously through his body, and the helplessness gave way to returning strength, the ability to walk returned, and he w(ts restored to his old time health. I am in even better health than when I gave you the flrttt interview.'1'' "Do you still attribute your cure to the use of Dr. Williams' Phik Pills?" asked the Monitor. "Unquestionably I do," was the reply. "Doctors had failed, as had also the numerous remedies recommended by my friends. Nothing I took had the slightest effect upon me until I began tfae use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. To thU wonderful medicine I owe my release from the living death. I have since recommended these pills to many of m y friends, and the verdict is always in their favor. I shall always bless the day I was induced to take them." Such is the history of one of the most remarkable cases of modern times.

The first account stated that the patient (see address below) had been a paraly tic for five years,that there was such a total lack of feeling in his limbs and body, that a pin run full l e n g t h could not be Celt; that he could not walk or help himself at all; fj two years he was not dressed; furthermore that he was bloated was for that reas/m almost unrecognizable, and could not^get his clothes on. The paralysis was socomplete •*to affect the face and prevented nim from The above is the 8'ibstance of the first article published by the Monitor. Now f ollow Rome clippings, taken from the same paper two years afterward, and there is not the slightest shadow of doubt, in visw of this testimony, that Mr. Petch's cure is permanent. Here follows the account: On being agnin questioned, Mr. Petch said: "Youseethosehands—theskinisnow natural and elastic. Once they were hard and wi'hout Rensation. You could pierce them with a pin and I would notf eel it. and iat is true of my bands is true of the rest of iir* body. Perhaps you have observed that Phave now even ceased to use a cane, and can. get about my business perfectly well. "Spou may say there is absolutely no doubt as to my cure beinQ permanent. Indeed one say, in the face of such testimony, that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not entitled to the careful consideration of any suffering man, woman or child' Is not the case in truth a miracle of modern medicine? Tomaketheeviden^ecomplete we publish above a f ac simile cut of the check received by Mr. Petch from the Canadian' Mutual Life Association, being the amount due him for total disability. Itis unnecessary to add that this life insurance association did not pay this large amount of money to Mr. Petch, except after the most carelul examination of his condition by their medical experts. They must have regarded him as forever incurable. Mr. Petch's address is as follows, Reuben Petch, Griersville, Ont., Canada- A clear conscience furnishes the best digestion for a dinner.

W.

There was no new man on the floor of the last senate who was accordmore respect or had more influence than Mr. Teeple. He was courtly in his manners and so courteous in his ntercourse with other Senators as to have created no antagonism and made no enemies. He had the manliness to follow his convictions as to what was manifestly bis duty to his constituants but bis reasons were stated in a way to give no offense and often to carry conviction. His whole course reflected credit upon his district, and it would be a seemly and courteous thing for Genessee county to concede him the distinction of an unanimous renoraination."

WE ARE HEAD QUARTERS FOR Either Printed or not, PINCKNEY, MICH. AN EXTRA SESSION. GOV. P1NGREE CALLS IT FOR MARCH 22. MeiM|< Brief aud to the Folut— 8ay« T»x Burdeu Is Unequally Divided *ad U Becouilug Unbe*r»ble—Waati Corporations to Pay Their Full Share. The long-expected call fur an extra ion of the state legislature has at last been issued by Gov. Pingree. The for the meeting of the extra sesis Tuesday, March 22. The governor's proclamation is as follows: Tto all whom it majr concern, greeting: By Sec. 6, of Art. 5 of the constitution of the state of Michigan, it is provided that the governor shall take care that the law be faithfully executed. By Sec. 7 of the same article he is given the power to convene the legislature on extraordinary occasions. Hy Sec. 11 of Art. 14 it is made the duty of the legislature to provide an uniform rule of taxation. By Sec. 13 of the same article "all assessments hereafter authorized shall be on property at its cash value.1' These provisions have been a part of the fundamental law of the state since 1850. In violation of the spirit, if not the letter, of these provisions of the constitution, laws have been passed from time to time, by which railroad companies, express companies, telegraph and telephone companies now owning, according to their own sworn returns, at least one-third of the property of this state, are required to pay only about one-twenty-sixth of the taxes levied for state, county and municipal purposes, leaving their just proportion of supporting our schools, asylums and —other public-ia&titutimiH and defraymgthe public expenses to fall upon the fanners, laborers, manufacturers and other property-owners of the state. Taxation has, in' many parts of the state, become in the nature of confiscation, the amount levied being greater than the property taxed can be made to produce. The situation has become almost unbearable, and demands an immediate remedy, which can only be given by the legislature. It is the duty of the governor, under hit oath of office, to sec that the constitution of the state is obeyed and the laws faithfully executed, and to submit to the legislature. from time to time, his views upon existing mischiefs, so that a remedy can be provided? In obedience to this duty. I hereby call the legislature of the state to meet in extraordinary session on Tuesday, 22d day of March, 1898. at noon of that day, to consider the question of taxing railroad companies, express companies, telegraph" and telephone companies and such other matters as shall be submitted by a special message. (Signed) H. S, PINGKKK. Governor. The proclamation was issued after a lengthy conference between (lov. PingTee and his lieutenants, .and within two hours after it had been signed certified copies of it had been made and were at once mailed byj, registered letter to every member of the legislature. The fact that the governor ignored the two-cent railroad fare question in his call is a surprise to many, as it was quite generally supposed that this would be a strong card in favor of a special sesson. State Insurance Commissioner Milo D. Campbell says that a bill has already been prepared which'provides for the creation of a state board of assessors who will appraise the value of the taxable property of all railroad, telegraph, telephone~and express corporations in the state, and levy a tax exactly in proportion to the average taxes levied on other property. If railroad taxes are now too high they will be lowered by this bill. If they are too low, they will be raised. In other words, the bill does not fix the rate the railroads shall pay. It says nothing about the rate, but simply provides for a fair valuation and an assessment on an exact par with what other property holders pay. The average ratio of taxes to valuation on other property throughout the state is easily obtainable from the records of the state and of the counties. Goy. Pingree's lieutenants have counted their men and conddence in the passage of such a bill is being expressed. There is said to be no doubt of the passage of the bill in the House. In the Senate 15 votes are counted as solid for the measure, while five are classed as doubtful. Among those who are believed to be doubtful are Senators Lawrence and Merriman. Senators Jibb, Thompson, Westcott, Latir, Mason, and Covell head the list of iti-Pingree members. l'«i|»ullHtit Could Nut A conference between the state committees of the middle-of-the-road and fusion wings of the Populist party was held at Lansing, but It did not result in the anticipated reconciliation, but rather tended to widen the breach, much harsh language being indulged in by the two factions. The middle-of-the-roaders made a proposition to organize a pew committee from both factions and issue a call for a state convention to nominate a straight Populist state ticket independent of all other silver parties. This was rejected by the fusionists, who proposed the appointment of a joint committee to meet with representatives of the Democratic and silver Republican parties in Detroit on April 5, for the purpose of arranging a fusion on a state ticket similar to the one effected two years ago. This proposition was also rejected after a long and bitter wrangle, and then all attempts to come to an agreement were given up. The middle-of-the-road faction, which the courts have recognized as the regular Populist committee, promptly issued a call for a state convention to be held at (Irand Uapids, June 21, and the program of the leaders is to head off the Republicans by nominating Pingree for governor. k The other faction will participate in the Detroit conference and arrange a fusion. A Turning Over at the Soldier*' Home. The annual meeting of the Soldiers' Home board resulted in a general turning over of the oflicial staff of the home and the election of a new crew. Gov. Pingree attended the meeting and urged some of the changes, with the result that Commandant James A. Crozer is retired, Col. Bishop is no longer treasurer, and the insurance policies, the occasion for the last home scandal, are ordered canceled. Tire rulercqTtrriTrg-^vvtrrtms ta^pay for their clothing out of their pension money was rescinded. Capt. George K. .ludd. of Grand Rapids, was elected commandant; John Xorthwood was elected president pro tern.. E. V. Grabill clerk, and W. S. Turck treasurer. The minor officers were not chosen, but a general shaking up i.s expected. Gov. Pingree remarked that he had nothing personal against Col. Crozer nor against his administration, but thought two years' service was enough under the ciroustanecs. Mat»- Will Protect A number .of homesteaders in Montmorency county recently received letti'rs from Alpe.na lawyers inviting them to call and settle. They were informed that the supreme court had declared the tax title illegal and the original owners, whom the lawyers represented, demanded a settlement. Land Commissioner French denies that the court has ever passed upon this question and tells the homesteaders to to their farms. MICHIGAN NEW3 ITEMS. A summer normal will be conducted at Standish by Prof. C. B. Holmes, of Lansing. The Masons of Belleville have advertised for bids for a 13,000 addition to their hall.

Meers, of Kenosha Wis. Francis M. Murphy, an old resident of Jackson, aged 60, fell from an icy stoop and was fatally injured. Judge Maxwell has called another grand jury for Bay county and will investigate the collection of taxes. The Fox Light artillery, of Grand Rapids, has offered its services to Uncle Sam in case of an emergency. New Michigan postmasters: Croton, Newaygo county, Edwin E. Rice; Palms, Sanilac county, Wm. J. Sefton. Burglars at Alpena robbed Ginter & Rice's saloon of 84 in cash, several dozen bottles of liquor and 14,000 cigars. An order has been issued establishing a postoftice at Millersburg, Presque Isle county, with John D, Walker as postmaster. Gov.

Saginaw Knights of the Grip have adopted resolutions against the proposed two-cent railroad fares, claiming that they would concentrate trade in the large cities. Mayor Stowe, of Grand Rapids, is stirring up manufacturers to give employes a Saturday half-holiday during the summer, and several have consented to do so. Mrs. Maggie Isbell, a bride of four months died after an illness of four days, at Stockbridge. aged 19. Her birth, marriage and death all occurred in the same room. Thomas (1.

Henry Buehler, aged 47, committed tjndcide at the residence of Joseph fiaber, on Lapeer street, Saginaw, by taking morphine. Last summer his wile was thrown from a wagon and tastantly killed. Subsequently Mr. Bwhler met with an accident from which he suffered the Ion of one of his lag*, and despondency is supposed to %mm urged hfaa to suicide. He has no Kxtra Kettsion Note*. Members of the legislature are already dropping into Lansing from different sections of the state. The anti-Pingree men talk of investigating the executive and other departments as to the charges of extravagance. The impression is funeral that the extra session will last the full twenty days for which the legislators are permitted by the constitution to draw pay. Each member will, of course, be entitled to mileage in addition to per diem. The senate chamber, representative hall and the committee rooms are being brushed up and put in order, and the various departments- are preparing to meet whatever demands the legislators may make upon them. The state board of auditors has ordered some twelve dozen waste baskets, erasers, inkstands and other supplies for the members, and these will all disappear at the close of the session, in j accordance with the time-honored custom. The members will thus get a double rake-off during their terms of office, and some of them will be equipped with stationery enough to last a life time. There are several changes in the roster of the legislature. Rep. Henry Lee, of Lapeer county, and Rep. Wm. Rowley, of Macomb, died during the last year leaving vacancies. It is now too late to elect successors at the spring election. The Pingree men might make a fight to unseat the anti- Pingree senators, Covell and Preston, who hold government jobs, but it is the general opinion that they will not be molested. No effort, on the other hand, will be made to unseat Senator Hughes, who has removed from the Barry • Eaton district. Sergeant-at- Arms Gibson having died and Sergt. Strong, of Cassopolis, having been appointed postmaster. Assistants Wm. Stocking, «f Ann Arbor, and Moses Pearshei»ky, of Detroit, may each be years 18'J2 to 1897 inclusive.

Ellers and Milton Wreston, of New York City, have applied for a franchise at Ben ton Harbor for an electric road which will extend to Sister Lakes, Dowagiac, Decatur, Paw Paw and possibly to Kalamazoo, and will be in operation by July. Henry Aldrich, a prominent resident of Tekonsha, committed suicide by shooting himself through the chest with a shotgun. The death of his wife, following close upon the death of his children, and the complete loss of his property caused him to be exceedingly melancholy. Mrs. Isaac Wilson, aged 78, died suddenly near Harrisville. while convee%_ ing with friends.s Mr. Wilson survives at the age of 86.

Hundreds of Million* More Can be Had If Protldent McKlnley Need* Them— CongreM DUplayi lutense Patriotism '—Spain Must right or Back Down. Washington: A conference of great importance was held at the White House which was attended by Secretary of the Navy Long; Acting Secretary of State Day; Justice Harlan, of the U. S. supreme court; Senator Allison, chairman of the Senate committee on appropriations and leader of the Senate finance committee; Chairman Cannon, of the House committee on appropriations; Chairman Dingley, of the House committee on ways and means; Mr. Hopkins of the same committee; Senator Hale, chairman of the Senate committee on naval affairs; Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, a very close and confidential friend and adviser of the President, and Senator Mason, of Illinois. The conference resulted in assuring the President that whatever expense might be incurred congress would ratify his action and he now knows officially that congress will stand by him in whatever war measures he may undertake. He may buy ships; he may build forts; he may buy or construct guns, and buy or make ammunition. He may enlist soldiers and sailors, and he has carte blanche for it all. Whatever the sum needed congress will appropriate it after the time has passed when such legislation will give information to the enemy. As a result of the conference, and within a few hours after its close Chairman Cannon, of the appropriatton^ committee introdiieed^thc foilow• ing bill in the House: "That there is hereby appropriated out of any money in the treasury, not otherwise appropriated, for the national defense, and for each nnd every purpose connected therewith, to be expended at the discretion of the President, and to remain available until Jan. 1, 1890, 850,000,- 000." The bill was referred to the committee on appropriations. When the House committee on appropriations unanimously recommended the passage of the bill appropriating 850,000,000 for defense, the Representatives received It with a spirit of intense patriotism. Party lines were swept away, and with a unanimous voice the House voted for the Jt>ili and thus announced its confidence in the administration. All day long the House galleries were jammed with enthusiastic spectators applauding to the echo the sterling patriotism of the words of eloquence which wore uttered by the members on the floor. In all fifty-nine speeches were made. With one acclaim members from the north and the south, the east and the west, tlie states and the territories, battle-scarred veterans of the Union and the Confederate armies, all joined in proclaiming their support of the country's chief magistrate in the face of possible declaration of war. Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, said that if war did not come the 550,000,000 appropriated by this bill would be wisely expended if it only served to show the world that when threatened from without the hearts of the American people beat as one. In the whole debate there was only a slight discordant note caused by the speech of Gen. Bingham, of Pennsylvania, a gallant soldier who served with distinction under Hancock. He spoke too conservatively for the aroused temper of the House, and when he insisted that our relations with Spain were as friendly as they had been for years many of the members hissed him. While almost every member who spoke deprecated the possibility of war, a wide divergence of opinion as to how close were hostilities manifested itself in the debate. The general contention by the majority, among them the leaders on both sides, was that this appropriation by preparing for war would prove the | surest guarantee of peace. Others insisted that war's alarms would soon be heard and Mr. Maun, of Illinois, declared that war actually existed in all save name. The Senate was not to be oiitdone in .^patriotism by the House, and when the ©50,000,000 defense appropriation bill was received from the House it was promptly passed without a murmur of dissent. Twelve minutes after the bill was reported to the Senate the vice-president announced its passage. The great work was accomplished so quickly that few of the people who crowded the galleries realized that the measure, so far as congress was concerned, had become a law. After the measure had been engrossed it was promptly signed by ^ resident McKinley and then the vast sum of 850,000,- 000 was ready for disposal at any moment needed. The navy department has contracted for 400,000 tons of steam coal from Peale, Peacock & Kerr, of the new Pittsburg district, to be delivered at Key West within 30 days after April 1. This is in addition to the 250,0OOfeat already contracted tot <f rom the P(cahontas people and » laoge amount' from THE WARLondon financiers assert that Spain is securing funds, at Paris, Men for^navy apid aft^lery are bejng recruited »t Co^fK»bus Utirrtu-ks, O.~ Only th^ee members ef the House votejS against the biil, authorizing two more regiments of artille y and one of them was Mr. Todd, of Michigan. Forty survivors of the Maine disaster have been assigned to duty on the ships of the fleet at Key West. The commissioned and warrant officers-a^re on waiting orders. The Navy department has changed its plans and has sent the cruiser Montgomery to Havana and will use the dispatch boat Fern to carry relief supplies to the Cuban reconcentradoep at Me tan/as and Sagua la Grande. , The London Times praises MeKlnley for his firm stand and says that the effect of the Cannon national defense bill will act as a check on Spain. The News says no European powers will help Spain, and advises Great Britain not to meddle with Uncle Sam, a§ her previous "historic mistakes"have been costly. Col. M. M. Parker, who accompanied Senator Proctor in his tour through Cuba says: "Every American in Cuba now is watched as though he were a criminal. The Spaniards hate us and do not hesitate to say so. Everyone in Havana now knows that the Maine was blown up from the outside. Spaniards no longer deny it. Their do not seem to be very sad over it, either. Are we going to have war? Well, if we don't, I shall be surprised.*' The size of America-Spain war cloud is constantly increasing, and the war feeling among all classes is becoming more intense daily. The announcement that both the United States and Spain are buyt»g,,!OK trying to buy, warships, that Uncle Sum is spending millions upon his coast defenses," and the. daily growing feeling that the court of inquiry in the Maine disaster will report that the Aiaerican. war veswas blown up by an outside explosion, all add to the seriousness of the situation. It is understood that the President is ready to send to congress the reports of the U. S. consuls in Cuba, which show such » terrible state of affairs that it will almost force the United States to intervene to put a stop to the war in Cu~ a Senator Mason, of Illinois, was present at a recent conference of administration officials by special invitation. He had previously publicly announced that he would call up in the Senate his intervention resolution, introduced long before the loss of the Maine, unless he received authoritative assurances that he would thereby an- * ticipate the action of the administration. He had declared that if lie received no such assurances he would move to release the committee on foreign relations from further consideration of the measure which would throw the matter into the Senate, where it would get immediate consideration. Since the Senator Iras been called to the White House it is inferred that he will be requested to withhold his resolution on the ground that it is superfluous and in fact he said that he was satisfied that his resolution would be superfluous. Upon looking over the ground the President has concluded that it would be well perhaps not to allot the 850,000,000 defense appropriation until the necessities of situation become apparent. The reason back of this is that the sum that can be profitably spent for warships cannot even be guessed at with any appro % nation -to accuracy just now, and ships are first choice in the steps for defense. The secretary of the navy is making every effort to secure from our naval attaches and diplomatic officers abroad all information obtainable respecting the number of ships building, their price and other data. This does not necessarily interfere with the execution of the plans confided to Commander W. H. Brownson, who has sailed for Southampton for the purpose of looking up what suitable vessels can be purchased, but rather" promises to assrst him materially in making speed with his inquiries. Up to this moment nab only has the United States government bought no warships, but it has ftot even secured an option on on*. • England Grants V. 8. Alattkan Claims. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador, has informed the Canadian ministry officially that he has arranged a convention with the United -States, whereby the Alaska boundary dispute has been settled. Under the terms of the convention the British government has conceded the claim of the United States that the three marine leagues should be measured ' from the shore of the mainland and should proceed along the shores of the inlets, which are thus recognized as arms of the ocean, and not as rivers. The contention of the British and Canadian governments was that the three league limit should begin on the ooeaiiwand KMte-of the island and that the delimitating line should be run across the inlets and not follow their shores. These inlets are numerous and extend into the main* land a great distance and the decision therefore is of much importance to the VnHed States^ * The ^anadfcn «a much disap* . - • • • " , " • ' • ' .' > • * • Disease can be driven in or driven out.

"Show him here at once." The man retired, and in a minute or two returned with Dick, who said "Good-morning" to his uncle, with an »ir of cheerful civility. "H'gh," grunted the old lord, "morn- Ing. Well?" "Well, sir," said Dick, "I have thought the matter qver, and although I have not, and never have had, any wish to go to India, I have decided that It will be best for me to accept the appointment you were good enough to get for me." "Oh—er. I'm glad you've come to rour senses at last," said the old lord, a shade more graciously, "Well, you had better go and see Barry Boynton about it—that will be the best. And then you'll have to get your affairs put in order, make your will, and all that" "I have made my will," said Dick, promptly, "although it's true I hadn't very much to make it for." "Ah! that's good—those things ought always to be done before they are wanted. By-the-bye, Dick, are you hard up, or anything of that kind? Do you want any money?" The testimony of a good conscience^ "No, sir, thanks. I could do with a the ^lory of a good nmnT hundred or Two, of course—who couldn't? But I am not In debt, or anything of that sort." The old lord caressed his white mustache and looked at his heir with a sort of comical wonder. "Ton my soul," he remarked, "I can't tell how you do it." "Eh?" said Dick, not understanding, and, In fact, not interested in his uncle's thoughts. "Well, how you do it. Expensive regiment—flat in Palace Mansions— Riviera, and all the rest" Dick shrugged his shoulders. "Well, sir, I don't owe a penny in the world, I give you my word." "Ah!

"You won't tell me." Lord Aylmer chuckled. "Oh! very well, very well— never mind. I can take a hint as well as anybody." "When it suits your purpoi*," Dick's thoughts ran, as he watched the handsome, wicked old face. Then he got up from his chair. "If you don't want me any longer, sir, I will go and pay my respects to my lady. By-the-bye, I hope you are less anxious about her than you were » short time ago." Lord Aylmer Jumped up in a fury and stamped his gouty foot hard upon the floor. "Damme," he cried, "that woman is like an India-rubber ball, and as hard as nails into the bargain." •Then she is better," said Dick, with an air of profound and anxious interest. "Better! Damme," the old savage cried, "she's outrageously well, sir, Damme, her healthiness is positively aggressive." "But that must be a great relief to your mind, sir," Baid Dick, with perfect gravity. "Relief!" the other echoed, then seemed to recollect himself a little. "Ah! yes, yes, of course—to be sure. Well, go and see her. I dare say you will find her in the boudoir." Dack felt himself dismissed with a wave of the old lord's hand, and being never very anxious to remain in his presence, he betook himself away, and went to find her ladyship. But Laay Aylmer was not in the house—had, in tact, been gone out some time before he reached it; so Dick jumped into a cab and went back to Palace Mansions to Dorothy, who met him with a new Idea. "Dick, darling," she said, "I know that you are worrying about me, and what I shall do when you are gone, and I have thought of something." "Tea. Have you thought that, after all. it would be safe for you to go right out and risk everything?" "No, because you do not go till September, and by then I shall have got very near to the time.

"That is easy enough. Where shall we go? Tenby—or would you rather be nearer to Graveleigh?" "We could not go to any of the places near Graveleigh, Dick—I should be meeting people there." "Yes; but we might go to Overatrand or Cromer, or go down to one of the little, quiet places near Ramsgate. Why, if you like, we might even go to Ramsgate or Margate itself." "I don't in the least care where," Dorothy replied. "But what I wanted to say is this—you remember my cousin, Esther Brand?" "I've heard you speak of her." "Well, when you are gone would you let me write to her and ask her to come and stay with me till I am ready to come after you? She is young and kind, and I am very fond of her, and altogether it would be very different for me than If I had nobody except Barbara." "My dearest, you shall do exactly as you think best about that," Dick said, without hesitation. "It is a good idea, and If she is nice and won't worry you > about being married in this way " "She won't know, dear," Dorothy cried. "I shall show her my marriagelines, and say that you are gone and that I am I am going to join you £-s soon as_I can." "She will be sure to ask my regiment." "Not at all. Besides, you are going out to an appointment, are you not?" "Yes, true. Well, then, do as you think best about it," he said. "Of course, I shall be a great deal easier in my mind, and then she will be able to see you off and all that. Oh! yes, it will be a very good thing in every way." Dorothy clapped her hands together and laughed quite joyously. "Oh! Dick dear," she cried, "I'm so glad you don't mind—I feel quite brave about being left now. I do wish, though, that you could see Esther. She is so tall and strong, very handsome, smooth, dark hair and great dark eyes—quite a girl who ought to be called Esther or Olive. And then she has always been rich, and for five years she has been absolutely her own mistress, and has traveled about evervjvhere. , you thi* "Won't she think it odd that have never **ritten to her all time?" "I don't t>Jnk so. Esther is not a girl who thanks you for letters unless you have something special to say." Dick put his arm around his little wife's waist. "And you have some- "DAMME!" HE CRIED. ' thing very, very special to tell her, haven't you?" he said tenderly, then cried with an uncontrollable burst of anguish, "Oh! my love, my love, you don't know—you will never know what it will cost me to go away and leave you just now, when you will want me most of all." "Never mind, Dick," she said bravely, "I am not afraid." - Looking at her, he saw that she spoke the truth and only the truth— her eyes met his, clear and true, anl the smile which played about her sweet mouth was not marred by any expression of the agony which she had suffered during the few previous days. A week ago she had been more Dick's sweetheart than his wife; now she was not only his wife, but had also in her eyes the proud light of motherhood— "Filled was her soul with love and the dawn of an opening heaven." CHAPTER XIX. HERE is no need for me to tell of the month which Dick and hit wife passed together at a . secluded little watering place on Norfolk coast, nor of the scramble which Dick feat at the latt to get pointed day of tailing for the east. It is enough to say that after aa\ agonzied parting he tor^ himself and Dorothy found herself left in the pretty flat, face to face with sorest trial of her 11'*. A week before she n*d written to cousin, Eether Brand, but the had no reply. That had not surprised much, for Esther was a restless never so happy as when moving from place to place. Apart from that. London is scarcely the place to look for rich and idle people in September, and Dorothy had addressed her letter to her cousin's bankers, knowing that tt would be the surest and probably the quickest way of finding her. Bat when Dick was gone Dorothy begaa to get very anxious for a letter from Esther, to watch for the post, and to wonder impatiently what* Esther could possibly have done with herself .and whether she had got her letter or not. But for several days there was still silence, and at last, just when Dorothy was beginning to despair, it came. "Here is your letter, Miss Dorothy.^ cried Barbara, hurrying Into the room with it. "Oh, Barbara!" Dorothy cried, excitedly. In a moment she had torn It open aod was reading it aloud to Barbara. "Oh, it is from Russia. Fancy Miaa Brand being in Russia, Barbara, and she aays: " 'My Very Dear Little Dorothy; So you are married! I can hardly believe it—Indeed, since having yc^r letter this morning I have been saving to myself over and over again, "Dorothy Strode is married—little Dorothy has got married," and still I do mn in the least realize It. So you are very happy, of course, and you are going to have a baby—that is almost aa "of course" also. And your husband has got a good appointment l n India which fie" doesnot dare refused That looks like bread-and-cheese and kisses,, my dear little cousin. However, not taat money makes any real difference toone's happiness, and sg long aft yo» love him and he loves you, nothing else matters, money least of all. But why,. my dear, have you waited so lonf before you told me of your new tiet? I have wondered so often where you were and what had become of you, a ad about four months ago I wrote to the old house and had your letters retimed by a horrid young man, Divtd. Stevenson, whom I disliked alwayi beyond measure. He informed me •.hat you had left immediately after dear auntie's death, and that he did not know your present address. I felt av little anxious about you, but eminently relieved to find that you were *»vtdently not going to marry that detestable young man, who is, I have no doubt, all that is good and estimableand affluent, hnt whnm, as I saM I have never liked. " 'Well, my dear child, you must let me be godmother to the baby when it comes that I may spend as much m^ey over its corals and bells tta 1 should have done over a wedding-gift to you. Aa for coming to you—my darling child, of course I shall come straig .t back, and help Barbara to make up to you for the temporary loss of your spouse. I gather from your letter that he is all that is good and kind and brave, to say nothing of being handsome and loving and true— you lucky little girl! " 'Expect me when -. you see Me, dear, which will be as soon as I cut possibly get myself to London. If I were on the other side of the f-ontier I could pretty nearly fix both day and time. As it is, I can only say that I will lose no time in being with you. and I will stick to you till I see yo» safe on board the P. and O. steamer. " 'My love to Barbara—how she and I will yarn together over the old plaee and the old days!—and much love to> you, dear little woman. "From your always affectionate " 'ESTHER.* - This letter in itself was enough to put Dorothy into the wildest and gayest of spirits, and Barbara was almost as much delighted; for, truth to tell. the old servant had looked forwardwith no little dismay to the prospect of supporting her loved young mistress through her hour of loneliness and trial, and was therefore greatly relieved to find that the responsibilities of the situation would fall upon the strong and capable shoulders of Mise Esther Brand Instead of lying upon her own weaker ones. "It is so good and tweet and dear of Esther," Dorothy repeated, over andover again. "Just like her to throw everything else aside on the chance of being able to do a good turn to some one in need. Now I don't feel half so nervous at I did." "Nor I." echoed Barbara, speaking out of her very heart; then the added with a significant smile. "Mitt Bather never could abide David Stevenson— neither could L" Dorothy could not help laughing. "Ah! I think you were all juet a UtUe hard on David. I didn't want to m> Mrs. David, it it true.

DON'T BORROW THE DISPATCH, IT IS CHEAPER TO SUBSCRIBE FOR IT. Mrs. Cowden Clarke, tbe Shakespearean scholar, in her sunny reminiscences ot her long life, devotes two or three of her plea&anteet pages to Charles and Mary Lamb, says an exchange. She was, in her childhood, tor some time the pupil of the latter, who was called by her much-loved brother—so he humorously informed Mrs. Clarke—"Marie when we are alone together, Mary when we are with friends and Moll before the servants." In later life Mrs. Clarke and her husband visited for a week in the home of the famous brother and sister, a week of delightful society and quiet country pleasures. "Charle3 Lamb," she writes, "was as fond of long walks as we were and had an admiration for Enfleld and its environs equal to ours. He showed us one day the very Bpot where a dog that had been pertinacious in following him and which he sought to get rid of by tiring him out, had at last given up the contest of perseverance and had dropped down under a hedge, dead beat." A man who could tire out a lively dog must assuredly have been a good walker, but Mrs. Clarke does not state whether or no Lamb stammered in relatiag the anecdote. It is, perhaps, doubtful, if he did, for he once confided to her that, notwithstanding his usual hesitancy of speech, he never stammered when he was telling a yarn. The final glimpse which she gives of the charming essayist is Just such as his admirers will enjoy. "His hospitality was characteristically manifested one day in his own peculiarly whimsical way by his starting up from dinner, hastening to the front garden gate and opening it for a donkey that he Baw~stan<irng there"' &<rd looking, so Lamb said, as if it wanted to come in and munch some, of the grass growing so plentifully behmd. the ralli MS CALL OTERH The New Guinea baby has a novel method of being carried about.

It cries continually in shrill, sharp shrieks, but the mother placidly works on amid the uproar.

'H 'N 'HIVG '-oo aaxsoj *M eawvr i DO iivm.i,»ci m A qiw>iivm anpA SAVS til QUITE ENGLISH. Trying to Find s> Reason for the British Use of a Word. Nicely observing persons who have been reading "The Christian" must have noticed that when Mr. Caine finds occasion to say "nigger" he says nigger right out brutally, with no suggestion of apology in the way of quotation marks—as if "nigger" were simply andonly a term descriptive and as innocently inoffensive as parson or actress, says Leslie's Weekly. Some may suppose that this departure—by the standard of good American usage— is due to the able editing of Mr. Che- •vattei1, who, we havu/beca told, rovisci "The Christian's" slang, that no inaccurate vulgarisms7 might mar its per- j feet realism. Sych a theory would do Mr. Caine an .injustice. Strange as it may seem, nigger, as he uses it, without quotations marks, is not slang at all, but i^ simply the ordinary English way of/desribiug a person of color. Doubters are referred to so eminently proper a writer as Mrs. Ewing and her charming little story of "Jan of the Windmill," in which nigger appears frequently in the same matter-ofcourse way, after a fashion not a little shocking to the American sense of kindly propriety. This obtuse unconsciousness that there are persons of color in the book-reading world who may wince at finding themselves thus described as niggers, as if that were what everybody (themselves included) admitted them to be is really quite English—typically English. It lacks the excuse of traditions of race contempt which one might find for it in a southern writer, while rt contrasts curiously with that absence of color prejudice in England of which so much is made. And probably it is not a case of color prejudice, but only a case of not knowing when one is offensive, which is the English of it. The Queen's Punctuality. The q u e ^ as is generally known, is a most punctual woman even in Uer routine or daily life. Her duties are so carefully planned out for the day that not a single moment is lost. On one occasion the queen's drive was abandoned, owing to the state of the weather, but on its clearing up half an hour later a message was sent to Princess Beatrice, who was to accompany her majesty—"The queen drives in ten mmuies." The princess had Just changed her outdoor dress when the order was countermanded, but was ready. Another instance of her majesty's exactness was given on the ifreat and exciting jubilee day. when she wa6 informed that the carriage had arrived twenty minutes before the time appointed. She declined to enter it until the hour arranged. Imagine the consternation and anxiety of miles of spectators lining the route to see a messenger galloping at full speed the whole distance already traversed by the troops, but still no queen. This was the one solitary hitch of the day's proceeding, and was very trifling after about in a sling on the mother's right hip, the strong cloth passing over the left shoulder. The Gualtimalticans bear their children on their backs, and as if this were not load enough, any burden they have rests upon the head, Some of the Australian women wear a curious mantle of kangaroo skin on their backs, which is tied securely at the waist line, half of the length above and half below. In the little bag formed by the fullness of the upper part the baby cuddles and finds a comfortable nest. In other parts of the country the child rides astride the mother's neck. The negroes of Cuba hold their pickaninnies on one hip, the child clinging by its knees as a rider holds onto a horse. Alaskan babies are rubbed with oil, tightly rolled in a skin or blanket padded with grass and bound with deerskin thongs, which are undone but once a day, when the grass is freshened. If the baby cries he 1B held under water tilHie is stilL— _ _ _ The Italian bambino is swathed like a mummy and bound with colored ribbone. The babies' elder brothers and sisters delight in carrying about these human dolls, /which cannot kick. The German babjr, too, is swaddled, bound in a long down pillow tied with generous bows of bright ribbons. He is carried about in the nurse's arms wherever he mdves. French babies are borne through the streets stretched on fine embroidered pillows, their lace frocks spread out to make all the display possible. The chocolate mammas of Queensland carry their little ones astride their necks. The Dyaks of Borneo carry the baby wrapped in the bark of a tre« or in a curiously carved chair studded with ground shells, which is fastened to the mother's back. A Clever Trick.

Congressman Moody gave Dlngley a lively tussle recently. It waa Diugley's moody day. Printing sensational dispatches from Key West in crimson Ink has at least one advantage. The telegrams are sure to be red. Chicago does not call her police the finest, but they are apparently more accomplished as highway robbers than those of any other town. There are many who marry from sheer indigence of thought, captivated by the playfulness of youth, as if a kitten were never to be a cat. The bicycle button, "I want good BtreetB!" is all right, but unless some of them have reformed since last season they might better put on a button reading, "I want the whole road!" Some persons affect to see in the fate of Chin^the beginning of the end of thLs governWtft. We shall know more about it, however, after the inevitable war between the great thieves in the vain effort to equitably divide the swag. By the time that is ended there may not be enough strength or good feeling on the part of the thieves to form the combination. From now on the weather will cut a figure in the market price of wheat. In the winter wheat districts there are yet no signs of spring and the ground .la-full QJLmolsture. There is bujtjittle snow over the wheat and a sudden freeze would do great damage to the coming crop. There la an Increased demand for seed wheat in the northwest. Market statistics show receipts of wheat decreasing and exports rap- Idly increasing. The attorney-general of Massachusetts has suggested that trials for certain criminal offenses be held In secret, thus shutting out prurient idlers and making it difficult for cheap newspapers to gather the filth *on which they fatten. In such an event, the criminal would miss his notoriety, the loafer his scandal and the newspaper its "sensation"—but to decent people the aggregate of all these losses would be a great gain. In a certain Important trial a lawyer •aid to a woman witness: "Will you kindly turn round and give us the benefit__of the light of your countenance?" The court at once instructed" the wJtnese that she need not heed a request so worded. Lawyers of a certain popular type go on the principle that an opposing witness made angry Is half-secured for their side. It is a pity that all judges do not frown upon the practice. Senator Hanna is severely rebuked by the Denver Po-vt because he didn't kiss the Bible when he was sworn in as senator. We don't know wkat Js going to be done with that man. Everything he does seems to be wrong. It was a mistake that he got himself elected. He had the assurance to let the reporters give him a room in the white house. And now his son's wife is going to sue for a divorce and prove all manner of mean things about her husband. The Order of the Crown is a n e * Ofcaoization, to which only women who «an trace their ancestry back to a king are eligible. The Sons of the Revolution are not as ambitious as that, but it is quite likely that they have better ancestors than the famous and infamous royalty to which they claim kinship. But an older order than all is mentioned by Lawyer Babcock of Elxnira, who said in a speech at a recent dinner of the sons in question: "I am not a son of the revolution, but a son of evolution, and my ancestry antedates that which you honor tonight." Without going back to the lizard and the tadpole, suppose there be an order of the sons and daughter of Adam and Eve. That, surely, will hit every distinguished nail on its noble head. Dr. Mary Walker is justifiably vexed at being refused membership by the Daughters of the American Revolution, trader the rules of the order Dr. Mary Walker made proof of her eligibility o a l was rejected on the plea that she bad "repudiated the recognized apparel of woman." What Is the recognised apparel of woman? Is it golfer's uniform, the bicycle garb, the ballroom ooctume, the tailor-made garment or Che shirt waist and short skirt of the jnmmer girl? If Dr. Mary Walker prefers to wear the golfer's coat and th« bicycler's trousers as a regular costume./ Joes that make her any the less a patriotic daughter of the revolution? But to this case the doctor will have to take ter mtdfcine, as the Daughters of <he -Rftvoluttati hare decided that they «** f i t along wlthoot the aid of thj TALMAGE'S SERMON. "8PLENDOR8 TO BE UNROLLED" LAST SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. From the Text; I. Corinthian*, Chapter XIII., Ven»« 19, »• Follows i "For Now We See Through a Qlui, Darkly; Bat Then Face to Face. The Bible is the most forceful and pungent of books. While it has the sweetness of a mother's hush for human trouble, It has all the keenness of a scimitar, and the crushing power of a lightning-bolt. It portrays with more than a painter's power, at one stroke picturing a heavenly throng and a judgment conflagration. Thn strings of this great harp are" fingered by all the splendors of the future, now sound- Ing with the/crackle of consuming worlds, now">tflVilling with the joy ofthe everlasting emancipated. It tells how one forbidden tree in the garden blasted the earth with sickness and death; and how another tree, though leafless and bare, yet, planted on Calvary, shall yield a fruit which shall more than antidote the poison of the other. It tellfe how the red-ripe clusters of God's wrath were brought to the wine-press, and Jesus trod them out; and how, at last, all the golden chalices of heaven shall glow with the wine of that awful vintage. It dazzles the eye with an Ezekiel's vision of wheel, and wing, and fire, and whirlwind; and stoops down so low that it can put Its lips to the ear of a dying child and say, "come up higher." And yet Paul, in my text, takes the responsibility of saying that it is only an Indistinct mirror, and that its mission shall be suspended. I think there may be one Bible In heaven, fastened to the throne. Just as now, in a museum, we have a lamp exh'umea~fjoTn~ "to stady-th«- dispensation, -and—af4er Herculaneum or Nineveh, and we l^ok hil b t ht Gd at it with great interest and say, "How poor a light It must have given compared with our modern lamps!" So I think that this Bible, which was a lamp to our feet in this world, may He near the throne of God, exciting our interest to all eternity by the contrast between its comparatively feeble light and the illumination of heaven. The Bible, now, is the scaffolding to the rising temple, but when the building is done, there will be no use for the scaffolding. The idea I shall develop today is, that in this world our knowledge is comparatively dim and unsatisfactory, but nevertheless is introductory to grander and more complete vision. Th's is eminently true In regard to our view of God. We hear so much about God that we conclude that we understand him. He is represented as having the tenderness of a father, th6 flrmness of a judge, the majesty of a king, and the love of a mother. We hear about him, talk about him, write about him, We lisp his name in infancy, and it trembles on the tongue of the dying octogenarian. We think that we know very much about him. Take the attribute of mercy. Do we understand it? The Bible blossoms all. over with that word—mercy. It speaks again and again of the tender mercies of God; of the sure merctes; of the great mercies; of the mercy that endureth forever; of the multitude of his mercies. And yet I know that the views we have of this great Being are most indefinite, one-sided and incomplete. When, at death, the gates shall fly open, anfi we shall look directly upon him, how new and surprising! We see upon canvas a picture of the morning. We study the cloud In the sky, the dew upon the grass, and the husbandman on the way to the field. Beautiful picture of the morning! But ire rise at daybreak, and go up on a hill to see for ourselves that which was represented to us. While we look the mountains are transfigured. The burnished gates of heaven swing open and shut, to let past a host of fiery splendors. The clouds are all abloom, and hang pendent from arbors of alabaster and amethyst. The waters make pathway of inlaid pearl for the light to walk upon; and there is morning on the sea. The crags uncover their soarred visage; and there is morning among the mountains. Now you go home, and how tame your picture of the morning seems in contrast! Greater than that shall be the contrast between this Scriptural view of God and that which we shall have when standing face to face. This, Is a picture of the morning, that will be the morning itself. Again; my text is true of the Saviour's excellency. By image, and sweet rhythm of expression, and startling antithesis, Christ is set forth—his love, his compassion, his work, his life, his death, his resurrection. We are challenged to measure it, to compute it, to weigh i t In the hour of our broken mthrailment, we mount up into high experience of his love, and shout until the countenance glows, and the blood bounds, and the whole nature Is exhilarated, "I have found him!" And yet it is through a glass, darkly. We see not half of that compassionate face. We feel net half the warmth of that loving heart. We watt for 4eath to let us ruth Into his outspread arms. Then we shall be face to face. Not shadow then, but substance. Not hope then, but the fulfilling of all preflgurement. That will be a magnificent unfolding. The rushing out in view of all hidden excellency, the coming again of a longabsent Jesus, to meet us—not in rags, and in penury, and death, but amidst a light, and pomp, and outbursting joy such as none but a glorified inteligence could experience. Oh! to gaxe full upon the brow that was lacerated, upon the side that waa pierced, upon the feet that were nailed; to stand close up in the presence of him who prayed for us on the mountain, and thought of us by the sea, and agonized for us in the garden, and died for us in horrible crucifixion; to feel of him, to embrace him, to take his hand, to kiss his feet, to run our fingers along the scars of ancient suffering; to say, "This is my Jesus! He gave himself for me, I shall never leave his presence. I shall forever behold his glory. I shall eternally hear his voice. Lord Jesus, now I see thee! I behold where the blood started, where the tears coursed, where the face was distorted. I have waited for this hour. I shall never turn my back on thee. No more looking through Imperfect glasses. No more studying thee in the darkness. But, as long as this throne stands, and this everlasting river flows, and those garlands bloom, and these arches of victory remain to greet home heaven's conquerors, so long I shall see thee Jesus of my choire; Jesus of my pong; Jesus of my triumnh—forever and forever*— face to face!" The idea of the text is just as true when applied to God's providence. Who has not come to some pass in life thoroughly Inexplicable? You say, "What does this mean? What Is God going to do with me now? He tells me that all things work together for good. This does not look like it." You continue awhile guess about what God means. "He means to teach me this. I think he means to teach me that. Perhaps It is to humble my pride. Perhaps It is to make me feel more dependenif Perhaps to teach me the uncertainty w life." But after all, it is only a guess— a looking through the glass, darkly. The Bible assures us there shall be a satisfactory unfolding. "What r do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter." You will know why God took to himself that only child. Next door there was a household of seven children. Why not take one from that group, instead of your only one? Why single out the dwelling in which there was only one heart beating responsive to yours? Why did God give you a child at all. if he meant to take it away? Why fill the cup of your gladness brimming, If he meant to dash it down? Why allow all the tendrils of your heart to wind, around lhat object, and then, when every fibre ; of your own life seemed to be inter- ] locked with the child's life, with strong hand to tear you aoart, until you fall, bleeding and crushed, your dwelling desolate, your hopes bbsteri, your heart broken? Dp you suppose that God will explain that? Yea. He will make it plainer than any mathematical problem —aa plain as that two and two make four. In the lleht of the throne you will see that it was right—all right. Here is a man who can not get on In tne world. He always seems to buy at the wrong time and to sell at the worst disadvantage. He tries this enterprise, and fails; that business, and is disappointed. The man next door to him has a lucrative trade, but he lacks customers. A new prospect opens; his income is increased. But that year his family are sick, and the profits are expended in trying to cure the ailments. He gets a discouraged look. Becomes faithless as to success. Begins to expect disasters. Others wait for something. to turn up; he waits for it to turn down. Others, with only half as much education and character, get on twice as well. He sometimes guesses as to what it all means. He says, "Perhaps riches would*spoil me. Perhaps poverty is necessary to keep me humble. Perhaps I might, if things were otherwise, be tempted into dissipations." But there is no complete solution of the mystery. He sees through a glass darkly, and must wait for a higher unfolding. Will there be an explanation? Yes; God will take that man in the light of the throne and say, "Child immortal, hear the explanation! You remember the failing of that great enterprise— your misfortune in 1857; your disaster In 1867. This is the explanation." And you will answer, "It is all right." Again, the thought of the text is Just when applied to the enjoyments of the righteous in heaven. I think we have but little idea of the number of the righteous in heaven. Infidels say: "Your heaven will be a very small place compared with the world of the lost; for, according to your teaching, the majority of men will be destroyed." I deny the charge. I suppose that the multitude of the finally lost, as compared with the multitude of (he finally saved, will be a handful. I suppose that tite tew sick people In the hokpjtal today, as compared with the hnndr«Mlt of thousands of well people in the city, would not be smaller than the number of those who shall be cast out in suffering, compared with those who shall hive upon them the health cf heaven. For we are to remember that we are living in comparatively the beginning of the Christian dispensation, and that this world is to be populated and redeemed, and that ages of light and love are to flow on. If this be so, the multitudes of the saved will be In vast majority. Take all the congregations tltat have today assembled for worship. Put them together and they would make but a small audlercs compared with the thousands and tens of thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand, and the hundred and forty and four thousand that shall stand around the throne. Those flashed up to heaven in martyr fires; those tossed for many years upon the invalid couch; those fought in the armies of liberty, and rose as they fell; those tumbled from high scaffoldings, or slipped from the mast, or were washed off into the sea. They came up from Corinth, from Laodicea from the Red Sea bank and Gennesaret'e wave, from Egyptian brick yards, and Gideon's thrashingfloor. Those, thousands of years ago, slept the last sleep, and these are this moment having their eyes closed, and their limbs stretched out for the sepulchre. A general expecting an attack from the enemy stands on a hill and looks through a field glass, and sees, in the great distance, multitudes approaching, but has no idea of their numbers. He says, "I cm not tell anything about them. I merely know that there are a great number." And so John, without out attempting to count, says: "A great multitude that no man can number." We are told that heaven Is a place ^l^MPPi^fL? but what do we know about happiness? Happiness in this world is only a half-fledged thing; a flowery path, with a serpent hissing across it; a broken pitcher, from which the water has dropped before we could drink it; a thrill of exhilaration, followed by disastrous reactions. To help us understand,the joy of heaven, the Bible takes us to a river. We stand on the grassy bank. We see the waters flow on with ceaseless wave. But the filth of the cities are emptied into it; and the banks are torn; and unhealthy exhalations spring up from it; and we fail to get an idea of the River of Life in heaven. We get very imperfect ideas of the reunions of heaven. We think of some festal day on earth, when, father and mother were yet living, and the children came home. A good time that! But it had this drawback—all were not there. That brother went off to sea. and never was heard from. That sister— did we not lay away in the freshness of her young life, never more in this world to look upon her? Ah! there was a skeleton at the feast, and tears mingled with our laughter on that Christmas day. Not so with heaven's reunions: It will be an uninterrupted gladness. Many a Christian parent will look around and find all his children there. "Ah!" he says, "can it be possible that we are all here— life's perils over? The Jordan passed, and not one wanting? Why, even the prodigal Is here. I almost gave him up. How long he despised my counsels! but grace hath triumphed. All here! all here! Tell the mighty joy through the city. Let the bells ring, and the angels mention it in their song. Wave it from the top of Ene walls. All here!" No more breaking «of heart strings, but face to face. The orphans that were left poor, and in a merciless world, kicked and cuffed of many hardships, shall join their parentB, over whose graves they so long wept, and gaze into their glorified countenances forever, face to face. We may come up from different parts of the world, one from the land and another from the depths of the sea; from lives affluent and prosperous, or from scenes of ragged distress; but we shall all meet In rapture and jubilee, face to face. Many of our friends have entered upon that joy. A few days ago they sat with us studying these Gospel themes; but they only saw^ through a glass, darkly—now rev-elation hath come. Your time will alato. come. God will not leave you foundering in the darkness. You stand wonder struck and amazed You feel as if all the loveliness of life were dashed out. You stand gazing into the open chasm of the grave. Wait a little. In the-pre ence of your departed, and of him who carries them in his bosom, you shall soon stand face to face! Oh, that our last hour may kindle up with this promised joy* May we be able to say, like the Christian not long ago, departing: "Though a pilgrim, walking through the valley, the mountain tops are gleaming from peak to peak!" or. like my dear friend and brother, AY* fred Cookman, who took his flight to the throne of God, saying in his last moment that which has already gone into Christian class c;: "I am sweeping through the pearly gate, washed in tht blood of the Lamb!" WAR CLOUD iW THE EAST. Russia and Japan Preparing tot Trouble —The Chinese Situation Be-opened. Much uneasiness is fcl^ in Chinese circles in consequence of the Russian demands for the settlement of the lease of Tort Arthur and Ta Lien Wan by March 26. The Russian minister of finance is reported to have urged these demands peremptorily and to have complained that the Chinese loan was settled in spite of the disapproval of Russia. All the London papers comment on the menacing condition of affairs in the far east. The Daily Chronicle In a strong editorial bays: ''As a rebuff to Lord Salisbury nothing could be clearer and more pu'nful. Russia has simply begun , the partition of China. If anybody asks what China will db the answer is simple. There is nothing as to China. The real questions are: What will England do, und what Japan?" The ministerial Standard's editorial says: "Years may pass in the execution of the designs but from the moment the leases are signed the partition of China is begun. The disguise is too thin to be meant to deceive. It is no wonder that the eyes of the nation are fixed in eager expectation upon Ja,pan. The question remains whether England will resist Russia or proceed to restore the equilibrium by independent measures of her own." The Russian government has ordered 30 new torpedo bouts to augment the Russian I'acitie squadron at Vladivostock and Port Arthur) Russia also proposes to keep eight cruisers of the volunteer fleet continually, in far eastern waters instead of the Mack sea, so as to avoid the possibility of being hampered by Great Uritain closing the Suez canal. All signs on the European horizon point conclusively to a war between Russia and Japan in the*-near future. Tfnpan realizes—that- Russia is making dangerous encroachments in China, where she herself should enjoy the fruits of victory. Russia, on the other hand, will not recede, hence a war with Japan seems inevitable. Pekin: The Russian demands from China have caused the greatest excitement at the Japanese legation and the Japanese minister has had several interviews with the officials of the Chinese foreign office urging^the rejection of the Russian demands. In addition, it is reported that Japan has threatened to take vigorous action if the demands of Russia are confirmed. Plague Rioting at Bombay, Dispatches from Bombay say that a riot has broken out among the lowcaste Hindoos and Mohammedans against the Europeans. It had its origin in an attack upon a plague search party. Two soldiers had already been killed, and the police had fired on the mob, killing six persons and "Wtwnding many others. Other dispatcfies say that a plague inspector and three men in the Shropshire regiment were stoned to death. A later dispatch from Bombay says the mob attacked the hospital, burned the offices and stores, and savagely assaulted the doctors, killing one of them. The riot is described as causing a tremendous sensation. All the available troops and artillery have been called out and business is suspended. Heat's Awful Work In Australia. Disaster and desolation beyond description have overtaken two colonies of Australia from the intense heat of their midsummer sun. Water in the wells sunk into the 'parched earth, streams dried up, and rivers visibly sank as in a falling tide. Forests were destroyed by fire and the smoke shut out the scotching sun. Miles of farms are burned, and in New Zealand, as well as Victoria, bush fires have blotted out whole townships. Settlers flock to the towns in hundreds and thousands, half naked, terribly blistered and terrorstricken. Hundreds raced many miles to escape the flames of burning forests and fields, and thousands of people were rescued in burning buildings by a band of 500 heroes who organized and went out with horses to save lives.

Tip tU« Family If There I* Not Knoagh to Go Around. Nervous housewives whose husbands frequently bring home company to dinner without preliminary warning often worry In their secret hearts for fear there may not be food enough to supply the unexpected guests. A matron living in one of the prettiest suburban residences in West Philadelphia, whose husband persists In bringing home guests at the most Inopportune times, has hit upon a happy expedient to meet possible emergencies. In passing any dishes at the table of which there may be a limited supply the hostess makes a point to mention the enigmatical letters "F. H. B." in such a manner as not to attract the attention of the guests around the board. Immediately the members of the family are aware of the circumstances and discreetly partake very lightly, If at all, of the viands In question. The secret of the three letters was solved by a quick-witted guest a few days ago, and the hostess afterward laughingly confessed her little scheme. "P. IL B." in this instance stands for "Family hold back." AN OP6N LETTER TO MOTHVtS.

PINKHAM CONQUERS BACKACHE. roar Women Who Owe Their Present Happiness to Lydla & Pink" bom's Vegetable Compound. DEAR MRS. PIVKHAM:—When I wrote to you last Jane, I was not able to do anything. I suffered with back* ache, headache, bearing-down pains, pain* in my lower limbs, and ached all through my body. Menstruations were very painful. I was almost a skeleton. I followed your advice and now am well and fleshy, and able to do all my own housework. I took medicine from a physician-for over a year, and it did not do me a particle of good. I would advise all suffering women to write to Mrs. Pinkham. She will answer all letters promptly, and tell +\.~m how to cure those aches and pains so common to women.—Mrs, C. L.WINK, Marquez, Texas. I think it is my duty to write and let you know what your medicine has done for me. For two years I suffered with female weakness, bearing-down pains, headache, backache, and too frequent occurrence of the menses. I was always complaining. My husband urged me to try your Vegetable Compound, and I finally did. I have taken three bottles and it has made me feel like a different woman. I advise every woman that suffers to take your medicine and be cured.—Mrs. GARRKTT LICHTY, 612 S. Prince St., Lancaster, Pa. I had suffered for over two years with backache, headache, dizziness, nervousness, falling and ulceration of the womb, leucorrhcea, and about every ill a woman could have. I had tried doctors, but with no success, and it seemed as though death was the only relief forme. A fter using five bottles of Lydia E. Pinkhani'a Vegetable Compound, and four packages of Sanative Wash, I am well. Have had no more pain, womb trouble, backache or headache.—Mrs. CLAUDIA HALPIN, Cream Ridge, N. J. Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was afflicted with female complaints so that I could hardly walk. My back ached terribly, in fact, I ached all over. Was not able to raise myself up some of the time. I had no appetite and was so nervous that I could hardly sleep.

"H'm!" remarked Barbara, with another sniff, "perhaps not. But for all ftiat, Miss Dorothy—Ma'am, I should toy—David Stevenson waa a mean boy, And i never could abide meanness in man, woman nor child." "He was most generous to me," iflaid Dorothy, with a sigh. "Yes, to serve his own ends," said 'Barbara sharply. "You may take such generosity as that for me. Not-that I was speaking of that ma'am, for I wasn't, but of the time when David was a boy—a horrid boy, who thought nothing of stealing the beat apples and letting another take the blame of it," "Oh, Barbara! Barbara!" cried Dorothy, "you've got hold of a wrong •tory. Why, I know that once when David stole some cf auntie's apples, and young Tom Merriman got the blame, David came and told auntie himself." "Yes; and for why?" demanded Barbara, with uncompromising sternness. "Because I happened to have caught the young llmb^at it and collared him before he could get away. 'You are stealing Mrs. Dimsdale's apples, David Stevenson,' I said, laying hold of him auddenlike; 'and you stole them other apples that Tom Merriman has been sacked for.' 'And what's that to you, you old sneak?' he asked. 'Sneak or a© sneak,' eaid I, 'yeuHt- turn out ymir pockets to me, my fioe gentleman; and you'll go straight up to the house and you'll tell Miss xyimsdale that it was you stole the apples last week, and fhen you'il go and ask Tom Merriman's pardon for having let liim lie under your fault,' 'That I shan't,' says he. , 'Then,' says I, 'I Just walks you right off to Miss Dimsdaie. and she'll see you with your pockets full, redhanded ae you are. No', says I, 'it's no use to struggle. I've got you safe by the arms, and so I mean to keep you, Whether you like it or not. And if once Miss Dimsdaie knows the truth, do you know what she'll do, David Stevenson?' says I. 'No.' says he, «ulkily. "What?' 'She'll never stop to think that you're David Stevenson of Holroyd,' I says, 'but she'll just hand you over to the constable at once, au*d I don't think, my young gentleman,' I adds, 'that Tom Merriman having got the sack to fill your inside with i 11— CHAPTER XX. 1TH a shriek Dorothy awoke — the sun was streaming in at tlie sides nt the window-blinds, and Barbara waa j u s t c o m i u g through the doorway with a little tray bearing Dorothy's early cup of tea. "Did 1 scream, Barbara?" Dorothy gasped. "A bit of a cry. What ailed you, ma'am?" Uarbara asked. "Oh: I was s'ci frightened—I had such a horrid tlwam about tuc master. I thought " But Dorothy did not complete the sentence, for Barbara put out her hand with a bonified look. "Nay, now, Miss Dorothy, don't tell it. Whatever you do, don't tell mo." "But why?" cried Dorothy, openeyed1. "You should never tell a dream before noon, Miss Dorothy," returned Barbara, portentously. "Oh!" exclaimed Dorothy, "ian't it -kte-k-y-f-Siir knew that Barbara was bench in the very least.'" "Well, so I suppose he gave in," said Dorothy, who was deeply interested. • "Well, of course, he had to," returned Barbara, with practical plainness; "fcut all the same, he never forgave me for having been the one to get the better of him, and never forgot it, not to ihe very last day we were at the hall. Ah! Miss Dorothy, darling, if you had thought proper to marry David Steven- •on, you would have k»d to do without me. He never would have had me about him, and'I wouldn't have taken service under his roof—no, not to save myself from ending my days in the workhouse." "Barbara, Barbara," cried Dorothy chidingly, "not for me?" "Well, if you had put it in that way, Miss Dorothy, you might have got over me," the old woman answered. But s^ay! I think I ought to say here th.it although I have called her old In man^ parts of this story, Barbara was not, and could not reasonably be called an old woman in the common acceptation of the word. She was a year or so over fifty, and a very strong, hale woman at that, and at this time to Dorothy she was a very rock and tower of strength. Well, by virtue of the letter from Esther Erand and in the joy and expectation of her coming, Dorothy passed that day with quite a light heart, and even sat down to the little piano and oang one or two of the songs that Dick liked best. And then she went to bed ,_and slept, leaving the door open between her room and Barbara's for company, and she dreamed, as she always did, about Dick. Nor was it a pleasant dream. She saw Dick on board of a large steamer, wearing white clothes and a sailor hat, looting very bronzed and happy. He was leaning over the side of the ship, with a cigarette | n his mouth, just as she had see© him many a time, and by bis side there stood a beautiful lady —cot a girl like Dorothy herself, bat a beautiful woman of about thirty years old, such aa Dorothy fancied her old friend at home, Lady Jane Sturt, might have been at that age. They fl&emed to be talking earnestly together, and after a time—such a long time it seemed in her dream—Dick took one of the lady'a hands and raised it to his Hpa; then so* laughed and said something, and Dick caught her to him and kisfted her on the lips. Immediately .afterward, while Dorothy, with frozen a great believer in hick, and signs and omens. "It's fatal." answered Barbara solemnly, whoTvai Dorothy burst out laughing, and the worst feelings of dread with which she had awakened passed away. "I think." she said after breakfast when Barbara was clearing the table— "that I shall put on my hat and go up to the High street—I cannot finish this umil I get r.ome more lace;" then she held It up and showed it off to Barbara. "Isn't it sweet?" she exclaimed with intense satisfaction. "It's lovely." returned Barbara, who was overjoyed at the prospect of a baby. "Then do you wish me to t?o with you. ma'am, or will you go alone?" "Do you want to go?" Dorothy asked. "Well, ma'am, to be honest, I don't. I want to turn out the room for Miss Esther. "V«JU see. she may come nearly aB fast is her letter. a»d I shouldn't like to pii* her into a dirty room." "It car': be dirty, Barbara," cried Dorothy, laughing, "because nobody has ever slept in it." "Well, ma'am," Barbara retorted, "I can't say that I know a dirtier person than Mr. Nobody—on the whole." Dorothy laughed. "Well, then you evidently have a lot to do, and I would just as soon go alone. So I wi>l go hot' " over, YOt* STARTLED ME. soon, before I g*-t tired or the day gets for although September was half the weather just then was most sultry and trying to those not in the best of health. She was soon ready, and went into the coscy little kitchen to ask Barbara if there was anything she wanted, but she did not happen to want anything at aH. "Do 1 look all right?" Dorothy asked, turning herself about. "Yes, you look very sweet this morning. Miss Dorothy," said Barbara. "I wish the master could see you this minute." "So do I," echoed Dorothy "promptly? "Well, he will see me soon enough, Boon enough. Good-by. Barbara." Barbara followed her to the door and watched her out into the street, and truly, as she had said, her young mistress waB looking: very bonny that day. On her fair hair, loosely arranged, yet not untidy-looking, she had a small straw bonnet trimmer! with ribbon and a cluster .of gloirc rte Dijon roses. Over her pretty blue cotton gown she wore a long dust-cloak of some thin and light-toned material. She also wore tan-colored shoes and Suede glovea of about tJi« same tone, and sho oairieA a 1. rge white cut toil paradol to shield her from the sun. }*. v-ns a very simple and cheap toil* tUi, tout it was fresh ami ilainty-lubUing, and Dorothy looked bright and lovable and a little lady from the crown of her bonnet to the tips of her shoes; indeed, more than one person thought so as she passed up the street; and the old (.leueral, who was out for his usual morning trot, stopped in hia walk, and, wheeling round, stood to look after her till she had turned tho corner and was out of sight, when hu went on with his self-imposed sentry go, wishing with all his heart he way forty years younger. Meaiujnio Dorothy went serenely on her way, reached the tihop for which she was bound, ami there made her purchases, all small enough for her to bring them away iu a ne.u littlo. parcel in her unoccupiod hand. And then, Just as she stepped off the doorstep of the shop on to the pavement, she suddenly found herself face to face with David. If it had been possible she would have retreated back into the shop; but it was too late for that. David Stevenson had already uttered an exclamation of surprise, and was standing close in front of her, holding out both his hands to her. Now, if there was one person in all the wide world whom Dorothy woiild rather not have seen just then, that person was David Stevenson. 1 think she looked all tho dismay which she felt, and that she felt all and perhaps more than the dismay which she looked. "Oh! is that you?" she gasped. David let his hands, with their glad welcome, drop instantly. "You're not very glad to see me, Dorothy," he said, in quiet, b.ut bitter reproach. "I—that is, you startled rae," she replied, iu a wild endeavor to put off any questions he might think proper to ask her. "Evidently," he said, dryly, "and you want to get rid of me, eh?" "Oh, not at all," biting her lip and wishing that she could sink into the ground, or dissolve into thia air, anywhere out of the way of his hard and steely-blue eyes, which seemed to look her through, and to know in a moment all the secrets of her life. '-"No? Ah. that^is better. Then, since you don't want to get rid of me all in a hurry, perhaps you will let me walk a little way with you. May I?" "Oh, yes, certainly," said Dorothy, giving herself up for lost at once. "Do you live near here?" he asked. At that moment there was a slight block on the pavement of the always busy street, and just as David spoke Dorothy perceived that the sweetfaced lady who lived on the floor abov«* Ail!1, THE WAR DOGS MAY BE LOOSE AT ANY TIME. LET her was also blocked, and stood for a moment or so face to face with her, Undoubtedly she had heard David'b question just as Dorothy had done, and undoubtedly Dorothy had never seen her eyes so cold or her lips so austerely shut before. In her distress and annoyance at being thus^ apparently caught, Dorothy blushed a vivTd, guilty crimson—a fact upon which the sweet-faced lady put the usual construction to which all highly moral persons seem to jump at once in a moment of doubt—that is, the very worst possible one. "Can you give me no news from home, then?" Dorothy asked, in a desperate voice, raised far above her usu- &.:. toues. David looked down at her in surprise— au involuntary action which was not lost upon the lady, who was still unable to pass on. "News?" he repeated. "Why, of course 1 can. I have so much news to tell you that I hardly know where to begin. Let me see—Lady Jane is back, of course." Dorothy turned her head in time to see that the lady had passed on and was out of ear shot before David had begun his news. There, just like David's stupidity to be too late. Why, she wondered, irritably, could he not have happened to Eay something which would have let that woman upstairs know that they had known each other all their lives"; But no, David had always blundered whenever and wherever she was concerned, and she supposed that he always would. Her Interest in the home news was gone, lost in the depths of her annoyance, but she listened patiently till he had exhausted that topic, till she had heard who was married and who was dead, of a fire in such a one's rick-yard, and of a barn belonging to another which had been struck by lightning. Then he told her how i e nad improved the Hall—her perfect old home, wihich in her mind needed improvement of no kind—how he had Rut u smart, capable gardener in to bring the place into real good condition—•— "And old Isaac?" said Dorothy.flerce- "Oh, he is still about—I shouldn't turn any old servant of yours off, you know. There are plenty of odd ^obs for him about the place." •VWhat sort of odd jot*?" demaadea Dorothy. {To be Continued.) un le Sum IN Iti'iwly, hut C'untlnui'K to !H;iki* l'xtt'ii*kvi* I' mid l.umi T w o New IJt'i'ii 1'iiri'tiHHtui from lJru/11, llttvti i* T M IV'I/( f i V KwrvUiintf b astir and bustle n,t tho I I if I l U l i i , M ; | j v |'illlJHi m i v y y u r ( | n t Valejo, Vul | Hundred* oi' workmen are bejnj* added to the usual force to rush the work of preparing- the Charleston, Philadelphia, ilariford, tVnsstoola and Adams for service. 3'lie Vorktown is awaiting repairs.

A general movement of troops from the interior posts, both cavaliy and infantry, to support the new artillery batteries on the coast is expected to be ordered shortly.

An unprecedented action is the enlistment of landsmen for naval service, at the League island navy yard at Philadelphia. Any able bodied man who answers physical requirements is accepted. The New Vork Herald says that President MeKlnley is now of the opinion that the trouble, with Spain can be settled diplomatically. He favors a plan being1 talked by Levi P.

Full crews are being1 organized to man the two vessels ius soon as they are completed, and the fact that Uncle Sam will thus have two fine war vessels so near Spain's coast has enabled the navy department to order three other vessels now at European stations to loin the North Atlantic squadron at Key West as soon as possible. * • ' «>«thwesterl v There is intense activity at the Washington navy yard, three shifts of men working .'.'1 hours continuously.

Should Get Mrs. Pinkham's Advice—The Whole Truth can bo TolA to her Because ehe is a Womr.ru The STifferinf and pain endured by some working women is almost past belief. Here is a letier from one of tlie multitude of women who hav^j been restored to health and usefulness by Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine: DEAR MKS. PINKUA «I :—I feel as though your advice had liiled me from the grave. I must have been very near it. I fered terribly at time of menstruation, constantly troubled with cold hands and feet, was extremely nervous, coxild not sleep well, was troubled w i t h frightened d»vr.:n.s, had heart trouble and a frelin^ as though my brou'h was/jointy to stop, -al:^o had' leucorrhaia. I tried to get help l:ut all remedies failed, until I wrote to you. I cannot thank you enough for your DOINGS OF CONGRESS. A resolution offered by Senator Chandler, of *Je\v Hampshire, autborthe committee on naval affairs to for persons and papers in the course of the investigation of the Maine disaster, was adopted by the Senate. The bill for a railroad bridge over Detroit river has been introduced in the House by Rep. Corliss. It provides that the bridge approach nhall be in i'.'ie city limits of Detroit; that the plans sliall be approved by engineers of the war department; that it shall be for joint use of all railroads on ecjual terms; it shall have not more than Ihree spans between bulk and head ines on both sides of the river, the .main channel span to be 1,100 feet clear, bight and width to be determined by the secretary of war; there shall be but two piers inside bulk head lines. It also provides thut if the bridge is not begun in three years and completed in six. the act .shall be void. The Senate passed a bill authorizing the construction of eight new revenue cutters not exceeding iu aggregate cost the sum of £:.\02.r>.U00. Rep. Henderson, of Iowa, hits introduced a bill to prevent the use of the U. S.. flag as a business advertisement or the use of any government publication as advertising mediums. Senator Lodge gave notice of an amendment to the naval bill, appropriating S~r>,000 for making soundings for a cable line from the Hawaiian islands U) Japan and also to Australia. Three new battleships of the staunchest type afloat have been authorized by the House committee on naval affairs. A majority of the committee favors making the number six instead of three and will endeavor to so amend the bill. The President has asked the House naval_c'ommittee_to report a bill for the reorganization of the personnel of the navy, the intention being* to increase the number of naval officers; to remove the cause of -.strife between line and staff officers; making engineer officers line officers, and training young line officers in engineering duties, and also shortening to four the years the term for naval academy cadets at the school when they afterwards take two years' cruise training. Republican leaders in the House are pressing for an early adjournment, and it is said that their present course meets full approval of the President. All save three of the appropriation bills have gone to the Senate. The postoffice bill has been taken up in the House and the appropriations and naval committees arc working daily to get the last two bills, the general deficiency and naval, ready to report. The Democrats generally favor an early adjournment, although there is not unanimity among them on this point. Neither is there complete harv mony on the Republican side of the House. Many of the Republicans believe congress should remain in session until the Cuban question is finally and effectually cleared. Hut they would hardly go to1 the extent of opposing the wi-sh of the leaders and administration. It is admitted that the question of carrying out this program will depend entirely upon the attitude of the Senate. Eleven Men liurncd to Death. Eleven men lost their lives in the fire which swept through the Bowery Mission house at 105 liowery. New York City, and left it a blackened shell. Their bodies, now at the morgue, are so charred that most of them may never be recognized. The mission was filled with lodgers who were all asleep when the alarm was given, and several of those who escaped were clad only in the garb of nature. OVERWORKED BRAIN. From the Record, PUrcetony Ind. Determined to rise in big chosen profession as an educator, Ernest Kemper, of Pierceton, Ind, overtaxed himself mentally and physically. He was ambitious, his mind was always on his work. From early morn until late at night he continually poured over his books. "Burned the candle at both ends." Few persona,even with the otrongeetcon- •titution, can keep up under such a strain. In addition to his studies, Mr. Kemper was teaching a school Home throe miles from his home. Finally, his excessive btudy and the exposure of going to and from school in all kinds of weather undermined bis health. He was taken to his bed with pneumonia and his overworked brain almost collapsed. For several weeks he wan seriously ill. Catarrh had taken root iu his ny stein and his mind was in a deluate coudltiou. He wan seat to Colorado where he spent three mouths without receiving any beuefit. Thau a n o t e d special ist from Cleveland treated him w i t h o u t avail, and then a hospital in Chicago was tried, but all absolutely without benefit. Finally his physician recommeuded Dr. Williams' Pink Fills for Pale People, and from the improve. Wheu be was completely Overstudy, first bbooxx hhee bbeeggaann to be bad takeu nine boxes p cured. ^This famous blood and nerve medicine had accomplished what all bis former expensive treatment failed to accomplish. Mr. Kemper says his catarrh ha« entirely left him; he in strong again aud weighs niue pounds more taan he ever did. He gives the pillfl the entire credit. He is starting teaching again and feels abundantly able to contin e the work. To prove that the above is true in every respect, Mr. Kemper made an affidavit as follows: Subscribed and sworn to before me thii the 10th day of Reptember, 1»97. R. P. WATT, Notary Public. We doubt if these pills have an equal in all tb_* range of medicine, for building J a rui» down and rlebilitntpHI The man who has a business for which he cannot pray has no business to say very much in church. —7| kind advice, and I wish to tell every one the great good your remedies have done me.—TAMMA C.

Among the moulders :it ihe works of the Michigan foundry company can be found Mr. Amos Maynnrd; he has lived in Battle Creek tor over ten years, i.s honored and respected by all who know him; such is the ni;in who m;tkes this statement, lie say.s: " I have liad ki(ii>ey trouble for years, and it has made my lite miserable. The heavy lifting, necessary ia my business, inside me worse. I have been compelled tr) lie in bed in a helpless condition for as long as niue days at o time: the greatest pain was from my buck, wlJich sometimes felt as though a bayonet was being run through me in the region of my kidneys; many citizens of Battle Creek knew how bad I was. I could not move without the greatest caution, for as soon as I attempted to sto:>p over, bend to one side, or even turn i:i bed, the pain was simply unbearable. I wore porous plasters constantly for the little temporary relief they brought me. "Whenever I caught the slightest cold it went straight to my kidneys and made me worse. I was advised to try Doin's Kidney Pills, and got some. I have taken ia all four boxes of them, and I now feel ;u active as ever. A. few moiulisngo I would have ridiculed the id fa of being cured so quickly, and being ;iMe to work as I cau now.

A Miss Welsh of White Oak was brought here for burial on Monday. Funeral was held at the St. Mary's church. At a social gathering of ladies in Ann Arbar recently, it was decided by all those present not to wear hats trimmed with birds feathers. The women concluded they would not gratify a heedless vanity by sacrificing innocent life. During the year 1897 five million birds were slaughtered in the United States for the purpose of trimming women's hats. All the women's societies ot Michigan ought to imitate the good example set by their Ann Arbor sisters and lift their voices against the awful devastation of life and song.

Any person "soaped in" by this sort of game, or having anything to do with strangers that promise much for little, deserve to be swindled out of their money. j Michigan, which mortgage was recorded in the office of the register of deeds for "^Livingston county in Liber 79, of niorteatree at page 481, on the 12th day of .September, 1894. which said mort gage waa duly assigned by William Newton ind George R Gold on the IS day of December, 1896, to Beeeie L.

Mrs. L. C. Bramley, 37 Henry St., St. Catherines, Ontario, writes: "For years I suffered from extreme nervousness and annoying constipation, developing into palpitation and weakness of the heart. I was unable to sleep, suffered much from headache, pain in my left side, palpitation and a constant feeling of weakness ami prostration. I began using Dr. Miles' Nervine, Ilciirt Cure and Nerve and Liver Tills and the Auti-Paln Pills to relieve sudden paroxysms of pain and headache.

The stock ticker is no good. It looks a good deal as if China would get into trouble, no matter what she does. The Kiiaer's papers talk freely about American impudence. Hah! Is there a worm in that, too? With $50,000,000 within reach President McKinley will no doubt be able to keep the Spanish wolf from his door. In this great and glorious land of the free you always have to pay for tne drinks in order to get a whack at the free lunch. It is alleged that the new leader of the Marine Baud is as great a conductor as Souaa. That's a good story for the marines. A Chicago paper says there is need of reform in the marriage laws. It judiciously refrains from saying anything about the divorce laws. "Let's pen up thew jackasses awhile In the back lot," remarked the Rev. Sam Jones, as be gracefully retired from the race for governor of Georgia, Secretary Alger's reply to Secretary Long's announcement that Spain's "responsibility in the Maine disaster had been eliminated" was an example of cutting a long story shorty The Spanish conBul at Key—West is rather an honest fellow. He did not half-mast the Spanish flag, because he knew that he was not grieving, and he could not be certain that other Spanlards were mourning. A Roumanian manufacturer has constructed a piano that can be heard six miles. There are pianos in nearly every apartment house in Chicago that can be heard seventy-two miles and they are used only by beginners. The people of Philadelphia may be excused if they drink a little beer. Rev. E. A. Rawden states openly that the city water is positively unfit to drink, or even bathe in. He lays it all to the professional politicians, and beseeches the people to rise up and emite them. There are those who cannot drink beer and nobody wants to bathe In it. Pupil* are conducted through many "ologies" and introduced to many "isms," but they are not well grounded in the three or four primary matters of an English education. A boy or girl who has learned to read and write and spell, with a knowledge of arithmetic and geography, is better prepared for a university education than a boy or girl who has been dragged through an endless array of the socalled higher studies in the common schooLs. TALMAGE'S SERMON. "STONING OF STEPHEN," SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. The attention which the athletic committee of Harvard's board of overseers is now paying to the matter of reforming college athletes so as to bring them back to a simpler and less objectionable form should result in correcting some of these abuses. College sports have their legitimate value and it should be the aim of the college authorities to rejcie them if possible from the plane of the professional athletic exhibition, where quibbling and money-making are the most prominent features, and place them where they will serve a useful purpose in the allaround development of college young men and women. The announcement of the visible supply of wheat at the end of February almost created a panic on the Chicago board of trade. Expert had predicted an increase. The former week showed the surp^sing decrease of 1,- 345,000 bushels, with an increase of 864,000 bushels on ocean passage. May wheat jumped from $1.02% to $1.05% and July from 88*4c to 90%c. The opinion is growing that there is an understanding between Leiter and Armour, and that while the latter prett& ds to be a "bear" he is really a bull, a&d is buying wheat in anticipation of price of not less than $1.50. Students of the wheat market are influenced by some rather startling statistics from the northwestern grain markets. Two years ago that district bad on hand 24,000,000 of contract wheat. A year ago there was 13,000,- 000. Today there is less than 5,000,000, of which but 1,000,000 is contract wheat It is stated that there is not enough wheat in sight to supply the mills and meet the demand for seed. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the most of this wheat Is owned by Leiter with Armour bidding for what little comes Into the market. The prospects are for fancy prices before the new c*op 4s har- From the Text, Act* VII, Versea 08 to 60 M Follow*: "Behold I «we the Heaven* Opened," Etc,—Boine Setuouable Advice. Stephen had been preaching a rous ing sermon, and the people ciuld not stand it. They resolved to do as men sometimes would like to do in this day, if they dared, witiv some plain preacher of righteousness—kill him. The only way to silence this man was to knock the breath out of him. So they rushed Stephen out of the catos of the city, and with curse, and whoop, and bellow they brought him. to the cliff, as was the custom when they wanted to take away Iifo by stoning. Having brought him to the edge of the cliff, they pushed him oit. After he had fallen they came and looked down, -and seeing that he was not yet dead, they began to drop stones upon him, stone after stone. Amid this horrible rain of missiles, Stephen clambers up on his knees and folds his hands, while the blood drips from his temples to his oaeeks, from bia cheeks to his garments, from his garments to the ground; and then, looking up, he makes two prayers—one for himself and one for his murderers. "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit;" that was for himself. "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge;" that was for his assallanttf. Then, from pain and loss of blood, he swooned away and fell asleep^ I want to show you today five pictures. Stephen gazing into heaven. stoned. Stephen in his dying prayer. Stephen asleep. First, look at Stephen gazing into heaven. Before you take the lean you want 'to lenow where you are going to land. Before you climb a ladder you want to know to what point the ladder reaches. And it was right that Stephen, within a few moments of heaven,, should be gazing into it. We would all do well to be found in the same posture. There is enough in heaven to keep us gazing. A man of large wealth may have statuary in the hall, and paintings in the sitting-room, and works of art in all parts of the house, but he has the chief pictures in the art gallery, and there hour after hour you walk with catalogue and glass and ever-increasing admiration. Well, heaven is the gallery where God has gathered the chief treasures of his realm. The whole universe is his palace. In this lower room where we v' ' " • a •••' stop there are many adornments; tessellated floor of amethyst,' and on the winding cloud-stairs are stretched out canvases on which commingle azure, and, purple, and saffron, and gold. But heaven is the gallery in which the chief glories are gathered. There are the brightest robes. ^^Fhere are the richest crowns. There are the highest exhilarations. John says of it: "The kings of the earth shall bring their honor and glory into it." And I se* the procession forming, and in the line come all empires, and the stars spring up into an arch for the hosts to march under. The hosts keep step to the sound of earthquake and the pitch of avalanche from the mountains, and the flag they bear is the flame of a consuming world, and all heaven turns out with harps and trumpets and myriad- voiced acclamation of angelic dominion to welcome them in, and so the kings of the earth bring their honor and glory into it. Do you wonder that good people often stand, like Stephen, looking into heaven? Wo have many friends there. There is not a man in this house today so isolated in life but there is some one in heaven with whom he once shook hands. As a man gets olded, the number of his celestial acquaintances very rapidly multiplies. We have not had one glimpse of them since the night we kissed them goodby, and they went away; but still we stand gazing at heaven. As when some of our friends go across the sea. we stand on the dock, or on the steamtug, and watch them, and after awhile the hulk of the vessei disappears, and then there is only a patch of sail on the sky, and soon that is gone, and they are all out of sight, and yet we stand looking in the same direction; so if, amid the myriad delights they have, they care as much for you as they used to when the gave you a helping hand and put their shoulder under your burdens. You wonder if they look any older; and sometimes in the evenlngtide, when tUe house is all quiet, you wonder if you should call them by their first name if they would not answer; and perhaps sometime you do make the experiment, and when no one but God and yourself are there -you distinctly call their names and listen, and sit gazing into heaven. Pass on now, and see Stephen looking upon Christ. My text says he saw the Son of Man at the right hand of God. Just how Christ looked in this world, just how he looks in heaven, we cannot say. A writer in the time of Christ says, describing the Saviour's personal appearance, that he had blue eyes and light complexion, and a very graceful structure; but I suppose it was all guess work. The painters of the different ages have tried to imagine the features cf Christ and put them upon canvas ;but we will have to wait until with our own eyes we see him and with our own ears we can hear him. And yet there is a way of seeing and hearing him now. I have to tell you that unless you see and hear Christ on earth, you will never see and hear him in heaven. Look! There he is. Behold the Lamb of God. Can you not see him? Then pray to God to take the scales off your eyes. Look that way—try to look that way. HIB voice comes down to you this day—comes down to the blindest, to the deafest soul, saying: "Look unto me, all ye ends of the earth, and be ye saved, for I am God, and there is none else."

Belbles to his table; George I. entertained the lords of England at a banquet; Napoleon III. welcomed the Czar of Russia and the Sultan of Turkey to his feast; the Emperor of Germany was glad to have our minister, George Bancroft, sit down with him at his table; but tell me, ye who know most of the world's history, what other king ever asked the abandoned and the forlorn and the wretched and the outcast to come and sit beside him? On the day of his death. Stephen spoke before a "few people in the Sanhedrim'; now he addresses all Christo.idom. Paul the Apostle stood on Mars Hill addressing a handful of 4>hiluBOphers who knew noi »o much about science as a modern school ^irl. To-day he talks to all the millions of Christendom about the wonders of jujtilication and the1 glories of resurrection. John Wesley s>nd howled down by the mob to whom ho preached, and they threw the future world we keep looking down through the Narrows, and gazing and gazing, as though we expected that they would come out and stand on some cloud, and give us one glimpse of their blissful and transfigured faces. While you long to join their companionship, and the years and the days go with such tedium that they break your heart, and the viper of pain and sorrow and bereavement keeps gnawing at your vitals, you stani still,\]|kr Stephen, gazing into heaven. You wonder if they have changed since you saw them last. You wonder if they would recognize your face now,- so changed has it been with trouble. You bricks at him. and they him, and they jcstletl hi'.a, and they spat upon him, and yet to-day, in all lands, he is admitted to be tho great father of Methodism. Booth's bullet vaeated the Presidential chair;, but from that sp^t of coagulated blood on the floor in the box of Ford's Thoater there sprang up the new life of a naion. Stephen stoned, but Stephen alive. Pass on now and see Stephen in his dying prayer. His first thought was not. how the stones hurt his head, nor what would became of Us body. His first thought was about his spirit. "Lord Jceus, re. eive my spirit." The murderer stand.ng on the trap do.>r, the black cap being drawn over his i:ead before the execution, may < rhnace about the future, but you ;.nd I have no shame in confessing to some anxiety about where we are going to come out. You are not all body. There is within you a soul. 1 see it £leam from your eyes, and I see it invidiat.np your countenance. Scmeiimrs I am abashed before an auiienee, not because I come under their physical eyesight, but because I realize the truth that I stand before so many immortal spirits. The probability is that your body will at last find a sepulchre in some of the cemeteries that surround your town or city. There is no doubt but that your obsequies will be decent and respectful, and you wi'.l be able to pillow your head under the mapla, or the Norway spruce, or the cypress, or the blossoming fir; but this spirit about which Stephen prayed, what direction will tha: take? Wh.it ^uirte will escort it? What gate will open to receive it? What cloud will be cleft for its pathway? After it has got beyond the light of our sun, will there be torches lighted for it the rest of the way? Will the soul have to travel through^ long deserts before it reaches the good land ? Tf we shouTcTlose "our pathway, will there be a castle at whose gate we may ask the way to the city? Oh, this .mysterious spirit nit fain us! It has two wings, but it is in a cage now. It is locked fast to keep it; but let the door of this caj?e open the least, and that soul is off. Eagle's wing could i:ot catch \i. The lightnings are not swift enough to take up with it. When the sou! leaves the body it takes fifty worlds at a bound. And have I no nnx'eiy about It? Have you no anxiety about; it? I do not care what you do with my body when my soul is gone, or whether you believe in cremation or inhumation, X sh^ll sleep just as well in a wrapping of sackcloth as In «saUn with eagle's down. But my soul—before this day passes, I will find out where it will land. Thank God for the intimation o% my text, that when we die Jesus takes us. That answers all questions for me. What though there were massive bars between here and the city of light, Jesus could remove them. What though there were great Saharas of darkness, Jesus could illume them. What though I get weary on the way, Christ could lift me on his omnipotent shoulder. What though there were chafing «*, cross, his hand could transport me. Then let Stephen's prayer be my dying litany: "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." It may be In that hour we will be too feeble to say a long prayer. It may be in that hour we will not be able to say the "Lord's Prayer," for it has seven petitions. Perhaps we may be too feeble even, to say the infant prayer our mothers taught us, which John Qulucy Adams, seventy years oE age, said every night when he put his head uuon his pillow: Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. We may be too feeble to employ either of thesa familiar forms; but th.8 prayer of Stephen is so short, is so concise, is so earnest, ie so comprehensive, we surely will be able to say that: "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." Oh, if that prayer is answered, how sweet it will be to die! This world is clever enough to us. Perhaps it has treated us a great deal better than we deserve to be treated; but if on the dying pillow there should break the light of that better world, we shall have no more regret about leaving a small, dark, damp house for one large, beautiful and capacious. That dying minister in Philadelphia, some years ago, beautifu.ly depicted it, when in the last moment, he threw up his hands and cried out: "I-move into the-HgbHL1 ••- Pass on now and I will show you one more picture, and that is Stephen asleep. With a pathos and simplicity peculiar to the Scriptures, the text says of Stephen: "He fell asleep." "Oh," you say, "what a place that w.:s to sleep! A hard rock under him, stones falling down upon him, the blood streaming, the mob howling. What a place it was to sleep!" And yet my text takes that symbol of slumber to describe his departure, so sweet was it, so contented was It, so peaceful was i t Stephen had lived a very laborious life. His chief work had been to care for the poor. How many loaves of bread he distributed, how many bare feet he had sandaled, how many cots of sickncs3 and distress he blessed with ministries of kindness and love^ 1 do not know; but from the way he lived, and the way.he preached, and the way he died, I know he was a laborious Christian-.- Rut_tha{ _JB *\] Ov«»r n o w He has pressed the cup to the last fainting lip. He has taken the last insult from his enemies. The last stone to whose crushing weight lie is susceptible has been hurled. Stephen Is dead! The disciples come. They take him up. They wash away the blood from the wounds. They straighten out the bru Red limbs. They brush back tho tangled hair from the brow, and then they pass around to look upon the calm countenance of h;m who had lived Cor the poor and died for the truth. Stephen asleep! I have not the faculty to tell the weather. I can never tell by the setting sun whether there will be a drought or not. I cannot tell by the blowing of the wind whether it wiil l:e fair weather or foul on the morrow. But I can prophesy, and I will prophe sy what weather it will be when yon. the Christian, come to die. You may have it very rough now. It may be this week one annoyance, the next another annoyance. It may be this vear one bereavement, the next another bereavement. Tefore this year has passed you may have to beg for br^ad, or ask for a, scuttle of coal or a p a r of shoes; but at the last Christ will come in and darkness will go out. And though there may be no hand to elose vnur eyes, and no breast on which to rest your dying head, and no candle to lift the night, the odors of God's hanging garden will regale your soul, and at your bedside will halt the chariots of the King. No more rents to pay, no more agony because flour has gone up no more struggle with "the world, the flesh, and the devil"; but peace—long, deep, everlasting peace. Stephen asleep! Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep; A calm and undisturbed repose, Uninjured by theJaafc of foes. Asleep In Jesus, far from thee Thy kindred and their graves may\be; But there is still a blessed slt*j3, From which none ever wake to weep. You have seen enough for one morning. No one can eu cts3fuKy exam ne more than five pictures in a day. Therefore we atop, having seen this cluster of Divine Raphaels—Stephen gazing into heaven; Stephen looking at Christ; Stephen stoned; Stephen in his dying prayer; Steplfen asleep. A WORD OF ADVICE. To Tboie Coming to Alattkt* or the Klondike Gold Field*. One thing should be impressed upon every miner, prospector or trader coming to Alanka, to the Klondike, or the Yukon country, and that is the necesity for providing an adequate and proper food supply. Whether procured in the States, in the Dominion, or at the supply stores here or further onr this must be his primary concern. Upon the manner \n which the miner has observed or neglected this precaution more than upon any other one thing. will his success or failure depend. Theso Bupplies must be healthful and fthrmid be oonfontrated, but the most careful attention in the selection of ioods that will keep unimpaired indefinitely under all' tho condition which they will hava, to encounter la imperative. For instance, as bread raised with baking powder must be relied upon for the chief part of every meal, imagine the helplessness of a miner with a can of spoiled baking powder. Buy only the very best flour; it is the cheapest in the end. Experience has shown the Royal Baking Powder to be the most reliable and the trading companies now uniformly supply this brand, as others will not keep in this climate. Be sure that the bacon is sweet, sound and thoroughly cured. These are the absolute necessities upon which all must place a chief reliance, and can under no circumstances be neglected. They may, of course, be supplemented by as many comforts or delicacies as the prospector may be able to pack or desire to pay,for.— From the Alaska Mining Journal A book of receipts for all kinds of cookery, which is specially valuable for use upon the trail or in the camp, is published by the Royal Baking Powder company^ of -NftaL_York^_JTJhe_re-^ ceipts are thoroughly practical, and the methods are carefully explained, so that the inexperienced may, with its aid, readily prepare everything requisite for a good, wholesome meal, or even dainties if he has the necessary materials. The matter is In compact though durable form, the whole book weighing but two ounces. Under a special arrangement, this book will be sent free to miners or others who may desire it. We would recommend that every one going to the Klondike procure a copy. Address the Royal Bak ing Powder Co., New York. MINSTRELS' HUMOR. Witty Annwer of an Irishman Win "Never Argued with a Lady."

The mournful harp and plaintive pipe may have given way to the breezy banjo and What a difference there is between what we are and what we want others to / crooning violin, but the songs .which these accompany are the songs of Ireland still. Down by the rotten Claddagh wharves of old Galway town I came upon a rapt audience, says a well-known traveler, enthralled bv the dulcet notes of Tim Biennan, the "wandering minstrel of Tipperary"—one of the sweetest singers I ever heard and one who would have been great were It not for his love of "the cinder in it," as they aptly term the west of Ireland mountain dew. I had s^en Tim many times before in Ireland. Our trampings had brought us Into tht1 same relations of artist and responsive auditor to many times that as he tipped me n comforting wink of recognition I noticed that his violin had been replaced by the temporary, though ample musical makeshift of a banjo wrought from the head of an aneienf Irish churn. In the pause following his ballad I felt emboldened to toss him back his wink, with the query: "And, Tim, why didn't you bring the churn with its head?" "Faith yer honor," he replied, in a flash and with a winsome smile, holding the elmrnhead banjo aloft so all could see, "faith I never argue wid a lady—an', yer honor, a bould Irish woman stud at the other ind!" +f N.

'Aomuee Railroads of Evading Taxation and Says the JLegl>latur« Helped 'Em do It After Ulvtag Them Big Laud Grant?—After Other Corporation*, too The special session of the state legislature opened promptly at 12 o'clock In tooth houses with neaily ali of the officer* chosen at the last regular session at their places. The desks of the late Representatives Lee and Rowley, In the House are draped in mourning and decorated •With flowers. Assistant Sergeant-at-Arma !Wm. Stocking \va» chosen to nil the vacancy of Sergeant-at-Arms Gibson. All Of the Representatives were in their Claceu except Edgar, Colvln. Oberdorffer, Pock, 'IVfft, Vou^ht and Williams. Col- Wn came in later. All of the Senators ftfere present at roll-call, except Covell. In the Sui ate protests were made against ihe seating of Senators Covell and Preston, because they are nonr federal officeholders und against Senator Hughes, because he has moved out of his district. The protests were referred to a committee Of five. Sergeant-at-Arms Armstrong tendered his resignation, and First Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms Mose Parshelaky, of Detroit, was promoted to nil the vacancy. Three stenographers, representing the governor, were granted space on the floor of the Senate during the session. The two Houses met In joint session and heard the reaOtng of the governor's message with close attention. Gov. Pingree's message to the joint session of the etate legislature assembled in extra session flret quotes his proclamation calling for the extra session, and then continues, in substance, as follows: You are called Upon to consider the question of taxing railroad companies, express companies, telephone companies and telegraph companies, and tor no other purpose, i deem the occasion an extrrd_lria.ry __one. _ The tneaualiLy.at Bj»tBai of laxition Ta so great tbat.it should not toe permitted to continue for another year. 1 have therefore called you together in extraordU nary seesKm to consider tt and to provide proper remedies. I regret the inconvenience und expense or such a session. I have called it because I deemed it the most practical way of obtaining reforms to wlilch the people ef the state arc entitled. When convened in extra session the legislature la enubleti to give the subjects sub- ^flitted careful and deliberate consideration which cannot be expected at a general seEslon. No one cuti read the constitution of Michigan Without coming to the conclusion that its frum- «r» intended that all taxes to be levied should bo based upon the cash value of tlie properly. While tt permits the legielature to provide for the collection of specific taxes under the laws as they then existed, and even to collect specific t*xes from ut>rj>orations theruafter to be organized, it expressly requires that all assessments thereafter authorlze<l snail be upon i>rop<jrty at its va'.ue. Thla provision of the cotwtltutlon applies as well to specific und U> general taxes. It* continued violation since 1«71 has led to many evils. At the time the constitution waa adopted specific taxt'B, except upon valuay, were unknown to the legislation of the »tat»- Taxes are defined to be burdens-or c^tfea Imposed by the legislative iwwcr upon persons or property to raise money for public purposes. The power to tax roeti upon necessity and la Inherent In every sovereignty. No constitutional government can exist without it, and no arbitrary government, without regular and steady taxation, could be anything but an oppressive and vexatious despotism, since the only alternative of taxation would be forced extortion for tbe needs of government from such persona or a»> the taxes which should be t>ald by all tax payer*, as it did ttx the u x e s to be paid-l>y the nartered rallrottd coin,»Miles. tln-re would have been no way to provide for the increase of tax which has since oorurred. Under the special charters specific taxis we-re placed in 1S4U at thjve quarter* of 1 per cent Upon the capital «took paid In, and sUcli moneys as were realised froni loans used In the construelion of railroad*. This rat* of taxation was made to commence in 1S.M. H will w noticed wliiie this rate wan rixed an a »]xv'.llr tax tt vvu.s llxed u\>on th* value of tue i>iv|*»rty und not up*>n e-arninss. At that time we hail no great university, no asylums worth si>t-itkiiiK of, no s-oKiiers' home, no normal aohiH)!, no agricultural college, no MhouW for the deaf and blind, no industrial homes, no mining sriionl, no grfat prisons, no oxi-enslve mi:itU, Ht»l com paratlTely Inexpensive tsiiuol |,out>e». Th.s wax at a time, too, when tho pollution alons the line of these roads wa.s very muoli U * than at present. Indeed, tue t-ntlre poiiulatUui of,the state was not at that time as great as thi> present population of the city or Detrot: Tin* com mere*) of the state was oomimrikUvi-ly und»«Vfloped. The Intervening period ha« het\\ one of wonderful development In this «UW. At every l e s i o n of the legislature the peopl* have 1<; en called upon to innke extriuidinaiv appmnru tiona for building up atuU> tiifrtitutlims. The period Includes the years of the war between 1S01 and 1865, during wlik'h the buidtna upon the tux]Mi>'ers were grt-aUy tiu-ienst'il and enormous sacrifices had to bo jn:i«le. Durinji ihls period the percentage of t;ix*'s *<( tho tu-dinary taxpayer increased with Rnvtt rai i.Uty. In is."i,">, when the Hrst Republican leg^lutim* oonvem'il, ihe rate of taxation for state piirpufe* wjis lms than one-thlnl of a mill on ihi- dollar und about six cents per capita. In l.vi.\ at thi> end of the war, the taxes for stute pur]>oii8i» we re lesn than four mills on tue >loi)ar and'only f>7 cents per i-apltK, In 1SU6 oyr U A M lor state puriiowsjimj Increased to $1 34 peri-apitlT fAuuItjr-(1 oneraTs reptirt for lS'M, pagts :,0» and IU0.) During ttie same period the proportion °f taxes paid by the railroad oompunus tiooii-ast-d. In IS.VI the railroads paid 7:2 per cent of all the taxes levcd tor state pursues. In IMCi the peKviuuse had dropped to HI 7-10 r*r cent. This, peiventane refers to state taxes xlone. The otlier taxpayers of the .slate were cjilltHl ui>on to meet a similar Increase in taxes for lixal purports, from which the railroad companiea In li«2 state Uave bwn entirely free, The liistory of railroad taxation In this stuU' Is very interesting. Under the special charttr* of IS48 the roads were required to pay, after l.S."il, un annuat tux of three-quarters of 1 per cent upon their capital Htock paid In anil upon all loans made by the omipany for tlu» pursxise of construction, t'pen this basis tlte tuxes upon railroads in 1SW would have been $2.^57.^—1 (il instead of $741,41)8 77. In 1S55 the general railroad law was passed by tbe lir>t Hepublicun legislature of the state of Michigan. It placed the, taxes of railroad cumpunlen orsanized under It a.t 1 per cent upon the capital stock paid in. %rrder this act, If it hail Iwen lfft undisturbed and applied to all railroads, the state would h.ive received In 1SU5 ^I.OIO.IWI 4 \ ins lead of $741.- OW 77. In l.NtiO the act was HIITI tied so as to require the companies to pay. in addition to tbe above, 1 per cent ujxm sill moneys realized from loans, mulclpal aid and other sources used in the construction of the n>ads. Every change In the iysliim_of-iaxaUtin-fr<»m ISCO to tUB-iie**nt-tlmc, with the exception of the act pacse.l in 1N'.)T. lias resulted in decrvaslng the JkCitportlon of taxes paid by the rjillroau>r-~Tn the meantime the b d f i th l r d ^iown he men in power might se in e l a s | the companies the land (Cootey on constitutional limitations, Riven to the state by th>? page 470.) 'ihe governor then quotes Chief Justice Marshall on this point, and then continues. The first essential of just taxation i» that it Bhall be equal. To exempt one person from taxation la to rob another. To provide a low rate for one and a high rate for another is despotic. In my message of January 6, 184*7, I called your attention to this subject and suggested that a te^rd should be appointed which should deter- Ine the exact value of all corporate property pot now taxed locally, and levy taxes thereon in the same proportion as private property now bears. In my message of May 6, 1807, I again called your attention to the subject and expressed the hope that you might devise some means of equalizing, in a measure at least, the burdenB of taxation. At your last session an act was passed increas- 1 Ing to some -rxtent the taxes now levied upon the earnings of railroad compares. It was asserted that this act would bring *nto the treasury between two and three hundred thousand. dollars. No taxes have yet been collected under It but from the most reliable estimates that can now be made It will yield only aboot one hundred thousand dollars. The Michigan Central and Lake Shore & Michigan Southern companies, tb<. two most wealthy and powerful companies in the state, claim that the bill does not apply to them. They assert that they are protected from It by tlu-,r Fpei'iu! charter*. It U more than likely that the act will lead to serious and prolonged litigation. If the contention of the companies fihoulrl be sustained the result will be that as between the railroads themselves the additional taxes proposed by the act of the latt session will fall u;>on the companies least able to bear It. The system of taxing1 earnings in wrong in principle and unsatisfactory In- results, and places the suite absolutely at the mercy of the railroad company. It is compelled to take SUJII reports as are made to it. The privilege of examining the books of the company in a useless «ne. The work would be almost endlees, and even if well done, uncertain in It* results. I d; not wish to charge fraud uj>on any of the companies doing business in this state. What I inaiat upon is that the state should never be at the mercy of any taxpayer, and that a system >>o open to frauds should Lever have been adopted, end having been adopted, should be abandoned at the earliest possible moment for one under which tlie <v trnslble property of the company can be fairly and honestly taxed. Railroad comi^nies In this stati; are not bear- Ing 4.heir juat proportion of taxes. For the purpose of Illustration I desire to call your attention to the official figures of l.sno. which arc not materially different from those of the present year, and which, having been uctcr] uixjn, are more certuln for th? purpose of computation. The entire value of the asses^eiJ prosx-rty of the atate In 18fi5. n» equalized by the boards' of supervisor*, was $slH,pS(S,lHO. The voard or review. act- Ing under section 1231) of Howell's statutes, flx^t the average rate of taxes for utate. county an:! municipal purposes, at .028. The total cost of railroad property in the state, HS returned by the companies and verified by the affidavits or their otlicrrs tor the same year, wan $301.(XC- 14K 44. If the companies had been assessed upos. thU Bworn valuation their taxes for that year, at the average rate, would have amounted to t8.428.0S* 15. The laxea which they paid were 9741,409 7T. Their tax amounted to a little less than one-quarter of 1 per cent upon their own •worn valuation. It was leas than one-eleventu <tt the percentage paid by other taxpayers of the state. The average rate of taxation, as fixed by <he board of review for the year 1897, is reported to tne as 3 per cent. The taxes to be paid by •he railroads do not materially differ from those iollectad in 1805. We are confronted with this situation: Tue ordinary taxpayer* of the state are bearing an annual burden of 3 per cent upon the value of their property. The railroad companies are pay- U« leas tbaa- oas-Quartor of 1 per cent upon their properties and less than one-eleventh of the proportion borne by others. One set of taxpayers are bearing an excessive share of the pubtie burdens. Another set of taxpayers ace altndrt exempted from any share. - Toe system of specific taxes, when applied to #nly a part of fhe property of tl » state, caiu:ot tot oootlnued for any great length of time wlth- «wt producing great Injustice. It -rill be readily rt that if all the property of the state were to taxed specifically and at a fixed rate deter- Mfaed upon, in advanoe, it would be impossible 4p meet any of the emergencies which from time C tlo» aria*. I t for instance, in 1846, the leg- IsHIHii had flx*4 three-<iaarter» of 1 per pent burden of taxation on others, as already hus enormously Increased. The system'of a tax on earnlr.pt was net adopted until 1.H71. At that time the railroad companies were paying nearly'33 per cent of the whole tax. not Including taxes for municipal purposes. The effect of the leelslatlon was to decrease the percentage paid by railroads In two years to lep« than IN per rent. Kven the elnuiRc made in the M;ch!san Central charter in l*W, by which the people were ltnl 10 tic '.eve tli.u I.it- Michigan Central Kallnad Co., In o m l n g unflev the general law as to taxation, had uimle a concession favorable to utlier taxpayt'is, has ojiented to decrease the burdens of that company. The report of thn Michigan Central Railroad Co., foimd In the railroad commissioner':-1 report for 1 StMi at page ;ti"il, shows the COM of tiir '2'2\ miles of that roail in Michigan to be $2.">.4H'J,» 63'Z 13. Taxes computed upon this sum UMI." \.V<- old charter ut three-quarters of J'-per cent w-ml 1 amount to $10O,i)t)» 74. Tlie taxes paid by t,\e ompnny in lfciitfi. under the new act. were Sli.yilSOl, making the state a loser by the change u' 43.4M 73. This Is the lofs for u single ye.u . The repeal of the charter was mode to rnvir he taxes of 1SW2. so that the xttn • has alrf-auy ost by the change made In ISi'H more thmi l^oo.ooo. While the*«t> reductions were being made in lu" taxes paid by the railroads they wore receiving launense favors from the state. In 1S."><1 the general government gave to the state, to aid In Iri>- construction of railroads, six sections of land for every mile of railroad that should be built. The state legislature pawed acts to aid the constriation of numerous railroads and »nrn»ii over r wotild afford no excuse for taxing railroad property at a iower rate than that which ia paid by the owners of othi-r propn'ty, We uave no right to tax the people at Urge for the benefit of those who ship freight or ride upon railroads. This kind of nit argument may be made By auyoo* who wtinte a special privilege for hluufc'Jf. The suggestion lias be»>n induBtr.ouhiy circuluted that MU'IIIKUII etijoyw unusually low railwad ratis.

We have no light to relieve railniuds of taxutU>n, or In other words to make the other taxpayers pay the Uixea which railroads KJiould pay to benefit tluis* who .snip freight or rule un rallrouis. The rules of uonesty twjulre that every n.an should puy lr:i share of the tuxes, and that every dollar's worth of property of every kind should bear u s equul pn>- Iiortlon. The governor mentions a number of uillroads north of the 44th parallel of lutltildc which pay no taxes, liav'e. been exen pted in 1MU for a period of 10 years. The sworn rejvorts of these companies show that they ure valued at more thun $ IS, 00O.000. They are used as feeders to other systemB, wme of which puy as high as 7 per cent in dividends. On what principle can these railroad* be exempted from taxation? Our constitution i>rovluts: "The legislature shall provide an uniform ru'e of taxation, except on pmiH'rty iwiylng specific taxes." (.Article Xl\'., section l l . ) How can we cult that i.n uniform rule of taxation which exempts some property entirely from taxation and shifts the taxes which it should puy to other property? It Is mere robbery under tr.e name of legislation. The governor rountis up the railroad taxation question by showing that, although tlio rallitunta receive a irreat benefit from the various ~rrrrproprtaTld?w nTaile fof^sTSTe lnsiTliilions, yet iey pay the smallest proportion ot tho taxes iim which these appropriations are paid.

In the nc'Kliborins state of Indiati.a the property of these companies was assessed In IMC) for $l,&'tO,u7tl. Indiana had at lhat tluu1 I.tttti less inlles of railroad than Michigan. The .tmsinpfs of express ooiu(Kinies 1g largely dependent ujion the railroad^, so that It is safe to sa>- that wltli our excessive' mileage and >'xcessive couiinerie the buslne-s done In this slat1 must lv lit le.ist equ.il to the business done in ttie state of Indiana. If fhe express coiupaniv <'f this state had tn'Pn assessed at tbe same unn'unt as in Indiana, their taxes would have been, In 1S!C. $.'<".L!.7S JW: Instead Of $^.742 .'It. • This is noinputtil at the^Jiverage rut" of taxation as lived by the board nf review for that yeur. In tbe nelKhbiii in>; ^tate of Ohio express companies aiv trade to yield even a laiger reven.ie than in Indiana. The system under wnti-h they aic taxed in Indiana and Ohio has been pronounced fair and jusri by the Supreme Court of the l'n!t»d States, und I earnestly recommend the ndnptlon of ihe sann»- system in this state, Telephone companies are taxed at the averajt^ rate paid by other taxpayers in the stat^1. This rate U determined by ;i board of review from the records in the auditor-general's office.

Said board muy Inspect ull the property belonniiiif tu nal«l companies, for the puri>o!V of urrivlng ut ilit? true c.ish vulue tlitreuf, lor tht» rf general government, and also exempted the laud from taxation for seven years In th* lower peninsula and ten years in the' upptr peninsula. The acts making these grants required the com- | panles to pay a specific annual tax of 1 per rent upon the cost of the road and Its equipment and pave the legislature power to levy a further tax after ten years of 2 per cent on the gr>>.^ earnings of the roads. T'nder thla act the stati should be now receiving? from the companies aided, at least three millions of dollars every year, besides the '2 per cent on earnings, Th.- value of the lands thug given away Is almost beyond computation. They were covered with magnificent forests of pine and hardwood and be- j ueath the surface there war untold mineral wealth. Alternate sections were given to ihe companies and the others sold to actual settler.*. Kvery acre cleared by ihe pionter and every road built by him to enable lilni to reach a market with his products, enhanced the valiVj of the railroad land, The settlers were not only required to build roa.is through their own lections, but through the railroads' sections, ,i fact which added materially to the burden? of the home-builders. Their children were compelled, in many casea, to cross these unimproved sections for the purpose of reaching th^ prhools. The railroads were put in a. position wherp they got the advantage of a development which cost them nothing. Tills contract on the part of the railroad eonipanies to pay 1 per cent on the cost of the roads has been violated from tho tirnt, sn that the state has never realized anything substantial from it. In most Instances the land grants made to the companies have been separated from the ownership of the railroads and treated as profits by the promoters. In this way the Ftate has bet n left to deal with crippled am1 Impoverished corporations, while the generous gifts to aid lht:;n have passed into other hands. The lands ther.ieolves have In many cases been stripped of their timber during the period of their exemption from taxation and have returned to the state In a worthless condition for the non-payment of subsequent taxes. In addition to the lands given by the general government to the state to aid in building railroads, immense tracts were given to nld in draining and reclaiming the low lands of thf: state. As to these lands the state was simply a. trustee. •The trust should have be*rt regarded .is «ncr»-d. The governor cites twveral instance* whore the legislature has Riven away large tracts of th^ lands to the railroads ar.d showing that roads have never fulfilled their part of thv contract* to drain the lands, etc., and have evaded taxrs on them In nearly ev^ry instance. The governor then aayB: These are only samples of many to be found in our statute books durinK that trf-rU*! of plunder and spoliation. They followed each other in raj-id succewlon until th>^ onerous gifts r.f the national «;overnmeiH to the Ktate had been absorbed by' tlio railroad companies and until th» lands in the hands of th.j railroad companies r t.ct>ni<- exempt inin all taxation. I'mUr what pretrnst: can the railroad companies ot thm state, after havtnp received thesp Rpnnrous gifts, Bsk to Its exer.ipted from thcif contract obliRationR? How can any honest man uow object to making tho companies thus richly endowed by the state pay 'it least their share of the pub'io burdens'i Thoy have already reatxM a KOM^U harvest from thes*- gifts. Tht-y have realised enormous sums from the salf of timber and its transportation to market, and from *al*> of mineral lands and the transportation nf ores. I am aware that it i» claimed by the railroad companies that their business is w> depr*»<«ri and Michigan affords nuoh a poor field for their •peratlons that they cannot afford to contribute -their share towards tti*> necessary ex»^nMes of the state. AB to this exruw. l can oniy repeat what I said In my mcssaKP of May 0, 1897: "I regard it as a slander upon the' <;ommonwealth to Ray that Michigan in not UH favorably Kltuated for railroad operations as any of her *lst.*r states. She has been considered unusually ricn in resources, and resource* of that character which make business for railroads. Michigan if first in the production of lumber; nr«t in the production of salt; nrnt in thp prod«ctir>n of copper; first in the production of iron; she is far above the average in the production of wheat, corn, potatoes, wool und fruit; xhe has an Industrious and thrifty population; she llos in the path of through commerce and certainly en- Joys her full share of it." I am aware, too, of the suggestion made by interested persons that railroads constitute a peculiar kind of property which should be treated differently from the other property of the state. It la sumested that If taxes are raised the rate* charged for carrying freight and passenger* mutt alto be raised. U this were the caae it 1NN», I S i l l . 0225 0215 026 .028 tion.

Sec. U.

The diftlculty with these companies In that; many of them do an interstate business and lire incorporated under the laws* of other states. Their property in hljfhl In thin t-tate Is comparatively smn.ll. although their earnings are very great. The Ohio and Indian^ system as to express companies should be applied to thfin »> that taxes may be levied upon the proportionate amount of their capital used In this state. There Is hut one rule consistent with honesty and that is to place all the property of the state upon the name footing and to make every one pay his share and to ask no one to pay more than his share. No one should ask the railroads, express companies, telegraph and telephone companies to do more than they lnsls4 upon others doing. We should not be F«tlsft>d with less. We should bear In mind that we are only repn senlatlves, in pns^inp laws thut affect the interests of our unborn men an<l women who are to come after'us. Our c<>i s.tituentM have ;•. right to demand a substantial and bona fide effort to equalize taxes and to make every one pay his juat share. The taxes paid by railroad companies, express companies, telegraph and telephone companies und<T thf present system aro devoted to trio primary school fund. I respectfully recommend to you that the taxes to be collected under any act which you may puss be devoted to the sjune imrjiose, and b<- paid direct to the school districts of the state in proportion to the number tii school children. I recommend that you authorize the appointment of a stato board of five, to h*> nor partisan if the constitution perrolt«, which i>iinV Lo omiiowered to make ;.

A nortn Cnina paper says me quauiy of "nervelessness" distinguishes the Chinaman from the European. The Chl^«znan can write ail day, work all day, stand in one position ail day, weave, beat gold, carve ivory, do Infinitely tedious jobs (or ever and ever. ._and_dit-cover no more wearing* and irritation than if he were a machine. This quality appears in early life. There are no restless, naughty boys In China. They are all appallingly good and will plod away in school without recess or recreation of any kind. The Chinaman can do without exercise. Sport or play seems to him so much waste labor. He can sleep anywhere— amid rattling machinery, deafening uproar, squalling children and quarrefln^ adults. He can sleep on the ground, on the floor, on a bed, oa a chair, or in any notltkm. DOCTOR'S DIRECTIONS. They save a daughter from blindness.

Goode, of Orriclt, Mo., writes in these t>tr*ng terms: " Dr. Ayer'i Sarsaparilla is the best medicine in the world. My daughter had a relapse after the measles, due to taking cold. She was nearly blind.and was obliged to remain in a dark room all the time. The doctors could give her no relief; one of them directed me to give her Ayer'a Sarsaparilla. Two bottles cured her completely." The thousands of testimonials to the value of Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla repeat over and over again, in one form or another the expression: "The doctors gave fcer no relief; one of them directed me to give her Dr. Aycr's Sarsaparilla. Two Dottles completely cured her,'1 It is a common experience to try Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla as a last resort. It is a common experience to fanre Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla prescribed by a physicisn. It ia a common experience to tee a " com* plete cure" follow the use of a few bottles of this great blood purifying medicine. Because, it is a specific for all forms of blood disease. If a disease has its origin in bad or impure blood, Dr. Ayer'a Bars* aparila, acting directly on the blood, re. moving its impurities and giving to it vitalising energy, will promptly eradicate the disease. The great feature of Dr. Ayer's Sarsapa. rilla is the radical cures that result from its use. Many medicines only suppress disease —they push the pimples down under the skin, they paint the complexion with subtle arsenical compounds, but the disease rages in the veins like a pent-up fire, and some day breaks out in a vol. canic eruption that eats up the body. Ayer's Sarsaparil'.a goes to the root. It makes the^fountain clean and the waters are clean. It makes the root good and the fruit is good. It gives Nature the elements she needs to build up the broken down constitution—not to brace it up with stimulants or patch it up on the surface.

CHICAGO OFFICE, 1310 MASONIC TEMPLE. 1 Spain Will Probably Have to Fight or Back Down. PRESIDENfwiLLTAKE ACTION. Evidently Preparing to Demand a Big Indemnity for the Msvlne Dlstuitor and Also the Independence of Cubs—War Activity Continue* on Land and Sea. The weary weeks of waiting, in a state of nerve-trying patience, which has been the recent lot of patriotic Americans seems about to be rewarded by a definite move on the part of the administration to bring the Cuban situation to a head. The indications at Washington are that President McKinley has outlined a plan of action looking to intervention on behalf of the poor Cubans to bring them the independence for which they have so long suffered and fought. If the President needed any bracing before taking such a stand, he is assured of the support of congress. Intervention would naturally mean war, and it is. the only pretext yet apparent upon which we are likely to come to blows with Spain, and both nationsare preparing with furious haste for a possible conflict. Uncle Sam is a noisy, good-natured old fellow and slow to anger. When he is busily engaged in forging thunderbolts it is reasonably surmised that lightning may strike at any time. If a nation has the right to intervene in the affairs of a neighboring state and one of its colonies, in the name of humanity, the United States has such a justification in the present case. The United States is in undisputed supremacy on this side of the Atlantic and no European.power wouldgainanything but hard knocks by joining Spain against us. The Maine disaster is an incident by itself and it must be considered separately from the causes which seem to justify a forcible intervention to end* the war in Cuba. First, the.goverhmentof the United States mi^t establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the Maine was blown up by outside agencies. When that is proven the charge of hostility must be laid against the Spanish government. If Spain disavows the act and makes an attempt to discover; the guilty person or persons, the Maine incident is not a pretext for war, but it will justify a claim for damages. Spain would undoubtedly prefer to pay any reasonable indemnity rather than resort to a war which is sure to be disastrous in the end. Whether a demand for reparation will follow the report of the court of inquiry or not, the recognition of Cuban independence, or armed intervention, must be decided upot Congress and the people already aiv.* impatient with the delays of diplomatic negotiations. It is feared that too much time has been consumed in considering promises of reform, offers of enlarged autonomy and pledges looking to pacification. The complete retirement of Spain from Cuba and the recognition of the justice of our demands for indemnity after the report of the court of inquiry shall have disposed of the theory of accident would avert war in their judgement, but they have no idea that Spain will be tractable in either case. President McKinley has called in one of the ablest international lawyers in congress to aid him in preparing his messages on the Cuban situation, and on the Maine incident. The lawyer is Cushman K. Davis, of Minnesota, chairman of the foreign relations committee of the senate. This unusual course on the part of the President was due to his desire to cover every possible point of international custom, and to avoid all chance of giving other nations a reason for protesting against American intervention. Senator Davis is recognized as one Si the foremost international lawyers in the country. It is safe to assert, therefore, that the briefs which he is preparing for. the President will make the President's position impregnable and one which he can hold against the world. After a month's investigation the causes responsible for the destruction of the American warship Maine in the harbor of Havana on the night of Tuesday. Feb. 15. the court of inquiry convened by Rear-Admiral Sicard to ascertain the facts, has finished its work. The full report was brought ashore at 'Key West, from the Iowa, on the torpedo boat Dupont. in custody of .ludjre Advocate Marix. accompanied by an orderly from the Iowa nmu lormml\\ turned over, in accordance with aaval regxilations, to the officer who had con- Tcned the court.

By n quest, we print the following letter from a'former Pinckney boy: SKAGWAY, Feb. 18, 1898. Skayway is situated on a law level canyon or flat, is about onehalf mile wide by one and onelinlf long, aud is heavily timbered with eottonwood and birch spruce which looks like tamarack. They make lumber of it all, which sells for thirty and forty dollars per thousand green, and the people cannot get it fast enough. Buildings are going up very fast. Business lots are usually cut in two and sell from £1000 to $1500 apiece. Dwelling lots oOxlOO feet sell from 8150 to $800. Hay at present is scarce and is worth $60 per ton, but it varies in price all th# way from friGto- &7aper ton. Horses weighing from 1200 to 1400 pounds are worth from $150 to $300 apiece. Mustangs from $50 up. Wood £(> per cord. Groceries are as cheap as in Chico, including freight. Flour $3.50 per hundred; dried fruits 10c per pound; bayo beans 5c; pea beans 3c. so you see there ain't much chance for speculation. Yukon sleds are in good demand. Labor is plenty aud cheap. "Wages for common labor are $1.5(7 per day and board. Mechanics 14 per day and board themselves. Horst-shoers get 6-3 per horse and there are lots of that class here. We are situated on ""the main >ad and it is estimated that there (Mul of tho road, but an ox boufs them all; thoy haul ft lar^v load and you never can loose 0:1' tlieni;! a good ox is worth £!;"){) to s-JOO ( and if killed, his meat is worth l2f> cents per pound and if lie dirs his meat is worth HV per pouiu., for dog meat. Goats are wot good uj> here; the dogs bother them so one has to WH tch thorn all the time. Board up here is not high; meals are from '23c up and lots of eating houses. Liquors are all smuggled in but are sold openly for 25 cents per drink. Cigars the same. All kinds ofj gambling goes on, but all complain of hard times. I think a good scavenger wagon would do well here by the look of the dead horses; the only opposition would be the crows. The barber business is overdone. Prices are 25 cents for shaving, 50c for hair-cutting au.l shampooing and one is not bothered by asking the men to take off their collar to shave them; they take it oil' and shave themselves in this country. Xow perhaps you would like to know how we live in Alaska. When we arrived we found it im- ? to rent a house for less ( month, so ~wr? conto buy a house and lot. Wej got a lot on the main road 50x100' feet with a good log cabin 12x14! feet for 8150, about four blocks I fioui the post-office. In this we; all live and have a store and are doing quit a a business. There are about 5,000 inhabitants here. The houses are all made of logs or boards and canvass and tar paper, and are scat- j tered all through the woods. There are lots of men here without work or money. All kinds of business is represented and overdone. - I think I will start an ice house as we can make it in the house.

The Chilcoot trial is blocked with freight, and it will take one month to get over what is now on the trail. My advice to any one going to Dawson is to go by the White Pass; it is the best, cheapest and quickest. My reason is this: There is no wharf at Dyea1 and everything is landed at Skagaway, where there are three wharfs. Then your freight has| to be put on small lighters and | sent over to Dyea, aud it usually takes from four to six days to get them over and then you are required to have l()O0 pounds of provisions in order to pass the Custom House. If you haven't that amount you will be obliged to come back to Skagway and get it. They say: that there are 50,000 tons On the Dyea aud Chilcoot trial, and that the people there will take advantage of everything. Well, I suppose you want to know about the weather. It was 8th degrees above zero Feb. 16 and had not been below all winter but on the 18th, the thermometer fell to 10 degrees below zero find that is cold enpugh for me.

The reports sent out as to tlie to the amount of sickness and number of deaths here, have been greatly exaggerated and you should not believe the terrible! tales of suffering and death that you read in papers.

Bok writes of tbe importance of the betrothal with • characteristic force and earnestness in tlie April Ladies Home | Journal. An engagement to marry he considers one of the most ser- ' ious compacts in life, as sacred e$ \ marrirge, and onJy the most ex- I traordinary circumstances would warrant its being broken. Only one other agencj- — alcohol—is responBrbtefoiTErore broken hearts and wrecked lives than broken betrothals*. Mr. Bok frankly says that a man looks upon an oft-engaged girl as he does upon a peach with much of the bloom rubbed off.

Never come from high heels to low heels at one jump. Never wear a ehoe that presses up into the hollow of the foot Never wear a shoe that will not allow the great toe to lie In a straight Hne. Never wear leather sole linings to stand upon. White cotton drilling or lines is much better and more healthful. Never wear a shoe or boot that has depressions In any part of the sole to drop any joint or bearing below the level plane. Never wear a shoe that pinches the heel. Never wear a shoe or boot so large in the heel that the foot is not kept in place. Never wear a shoe with a sole narrower than the outline of the foot traced with a pencil close under the rounding edge. Never wear a shoe with a sole turning up very much at the toes, as this causes the cords on the upper part of the foot to contract. Never wear one pair of shoes all the time unless obliged to do BO. TWO pairs of boots worn a day at a time alternately give more service and are much more healthful. Never think that the feet will grow large from wearing proper shoes. Pinching and distorting makes them grow not only large but unsightly. A proper, natural use of all the muscles makes them compact and attractive. Never wear a short stocking, or one which, after being washed, is not at least one-half inch longer than the foot. Bear in mind that stockings shrink. Be sure that they will allow your toes to spread out at the extreme ends, as this keeps the Joints In place and makes a strong and attractive foot. As to shape of stockings the single digital or "one-toe" stocking Is the best.

NEW THINGS. Fish cannot work themselves tfoose from a new hook after they take the bait, the barb and point of the hook being mounted on a pivot at the end of the curved portion to tilt outward and form a T-crossplece as the fish tries to get loose. A recently patented attachment for bicycle handle bars consists of two plates to be attached to the upper side of he bar on opposite sides of the hea , with recesses in the upper side in which the fingers are placed THE CANADIAN GOLD FIELDS Underwriter*' Insurance Policies Illegal. Insurance Commissioner Campbell has decided to prohibit the business of underwriting in Michigan, us a violation of the unti-eouipuet ami stukdajrd policy laws of the state. It ik not questioned that such underwriters' agencies and such policy contracts have the effect to prevent open and free competition between such companies at least, and with such concession, the socalled underwriters' or joint policy is clearly unauthorized and illegal in this state. Mr. Campbell says: 1 therefore find that such <tontracts are: 1. Misleading, and deceptive, (though possibly not so intended) .and against public policy. 2. Contrary to the standard policy law of the state; and 3, A violation of the anti-compact law. Companies employing such joint contracts are therefore respectfully notified that if their use is continued it will become my duty to revoke their certificates of authority to write insurance in this state., . » Confessed a Murder; Is now Getting* Well E. £r. Veeley, of Bloomingdale, was very ill and his doctor told him he could live but a few days at most. Then Mr. Veeley said: "I have a confession to make." The confession was as follows: "Thirty years ago myself and another man whose name I will not reveal, killed a man at Scott's mill, south of Hloomingdale, for his money. We got only 830 for our trouble and buried the money and have never used a cent of it. After that we took the body of the man and put it in the furnace of the mill and burned it up." ISoon after this Veeley began to recover and may now get well. • Murder and Robbery Xt-ar l'embine. Win, II.

But in order to get there it is necessary that a man should be possessed of the best of health, strong powers of endurance and considerable means. He leaves his wife and his family for a considerable period, and the hardships he has to endure are all unknown to him. Canada has other gold fields, though. They are •tie fields that, produce her golden grain. This year the crop of Manitoba, lying directly north of North Dakota, yielded 21,000,000 bushels of wheat alone. The current price averages 76 cents, which, as a local paper puts it, "makes the product in gold this year, for wheat alone, equal to a value of $15,960,000." Twenty thousand farmers did this, or an average to each pr<* tlucer of about $798. "But these same farmers are not living by wheat alone. This Is only one source of revenue to tfcfa out of many. They have also beef, batter, potatoes, oats, barley and poultry to sell, and sometimes otb«*r things, so that it may be fairly estimated that their [comes will average at least $1,000 per farmer. Thus Manitoba's fields have yielded this year fully $20,000,000 in gold, divided among 20,000 actual producers. and a general population of about 200,- 000." After counting the cost of stamp mills, expenses of men, etc., rit"* as is the Klondike, such vast wealth as is being taken out of the soil In raising wheat in this one province, cannot possibly be secured in any mining district. Of course mining development assists agricultural development, and that is why the Government of Canada feels so much assurance In predicting prosperity to aH who take up farms in Can- Ada. Western Canada today promises more than any other known field that is open to Immigration. Farms of 160 acres, capable of producing the best No. 1 hafrd wheat, yielding thirty to forty bushels to the acre, are given away fine. Railways, markets, gchool3. churches—all are convenient. The Canadian fdrm of government is one of the most liberal known, and a hearty welcome is given to settlers of all nationalities. Already there are many settlers gone in from the states, and the reports from them are highly favorable.

The House ni^Hway with 1 he leaders, however, itnijrdoubled the a;-;•ropriiitioii feu* rural/ire^ deljv- <'i'y. The commit tee ive.<>;nmended .«I,',().{too for thi>s work ajut the House increased h to JJNJO THE EXTRA SESSION, The protest* mpki&st the seating of Senator* Covell, Pre»ton and Hughes were referred to a special committee appointed by Lieut-Gov. Dustan, consisting of Senators liarnum, Merriman, Thompson, Hadsell and Loomis. It is announced that separate bills will be introduced before the ttiatlon question comes .to a vote to provide specifically for the taxation of railroad, express, telephone and telegraph companies. This will be done so aw to avoid the possibility of the measure being declared unconstitutional on the ground that the bill contained mutters not mentioned in the title. They will not differ from the governor's general scheme and will not be presented until the general proposition has been discussed und digested. In accordance with the law passed at the last session to'have bills printed instead of engrossed, Senator Westcott offered aa resolution creating the ottice of "proof reader." and abolishing that of "enrolling and engrossing clerk." The anti-Pingreeites introduced two measures in the House on the tuxation question, at the second day's session, which the Pingree followers declare were intended to delay action on the governor's bill. The first was introduced by Rep. Adams, of Kent, and provided for a broader taxation reform scheme to embrace all taxable property in the state. I t was defeated by a vote of 60 to 35 in the House, but the same resolution was adopted by the Senate. The fact that the House killed it makes the Senate action of no effect. Rep. Smith, of Houghton, introduced a bill in the House which i s ^ n exact copy of the Pingree bill with the exception of that section creating a board of assess* ors. Smith's bill would have the board comprised of the secretary of state, state treasurer, land commissioner. ati torney-general and auditor-general, who are elected by the people instead of the members being appointed by the governor. It was referred to the committees on railroads and taxation. Goy. Pingree sajrs that according to the state constitution the legislature cannot create elective state officers. Should a bill be passed bearing this feature it is probable that it would be vetoed by the governor as unconstitutional. The House had a scrimmage on the question of printing the proceedings of the House and the speeches of the members, but it wars finally voted to print them and C. II. Render, J. XV. Langley, .J. XV. Stoekwell and W. A. Brown, the four stenographers who responded to the call of the governor and volunteered to report the session verbatim free of charge to the state, were made the official stenographers of the House, and were sworn in. Petitions containing 59,:.'.*)() names asking for the passage of the .Pingree bill were presented to the House and referred to the*' committee having the bill in charge. '. On motion of Senator Moore of Wayne C'.as, H. Strawhecker of Grand Rapids, and Harvey A. Sherman, Gov. Pingree s stenographer, were appointed official stenographers, with one more to be named later. It was also voted to print all speeches in full in the legislative journal. Notwithstanding his first defeat Rep, Adams again introduced his resolution demanding that the governor send in a special message to cover all kinds of taxation. It was laid cm the table by a vote of f>7 to 31 and an attempt to take it from the table was lost—40 to 37. Rep. Foote introduced a bill to repeal the charter of the Michigan Central railroad. Rep. Remis offered one to increase the specific tax on railroads. Rep. Green went at it wholesale and introduced three bills, viz: To provide for local taxation of express companies, telephone companies, and telegraph companies. All of these tend to complicate the situation and are evidently intended to draw attention from Gov. Pingree's original bill. The Pingree leaders figured out that if the seats of Senators Covell, Preston and Hughes could be declared vacant writs of election could be issued and the governor hoped that three men of his opinions could be elected. However, the Senate refused to discharge rthe committees having under consideration the protests Ugainst seating the three Senators. The governor was upon the floor of the Senate and Senator Thompson took occasion tu score him for lobbying. The governor was not to be turned down, however, and he later issued a proclamation ordering an election April 4 in senatorial and representative districts where members of either house have died, removed or become I'nited States officers. Senator Preston's district comprises Lapeer anid Tuscola counties; CovelTs district/ comprises Antrim, lienzie, Charlevoix. Kalkaska, Leelanuu and Wex/ord counties. The representative districts where elections have been cabled are the second district of lierrlen county, where blepresontative Williams \\u.s become a postmaster; the first district of Maeomb, Representative Rowley httving died: second Lena- Wee district, Representative Edgar having removed from tin* state: the Lapeer district, formerly represented by Representative ' Lee. deceased. An tittempt was made to have Senator Hughes resign, but hy refused «nd njj actio,n can be taken as to his ease until the ^fenate disposes of it. SHOULD PE PREPARED.

"Ob, weeding and toddling about picking up atones and—and doing odd Jobs generally," answered David, who was beginning to get rather uncomfortable under the fire of her truthful eyes and the terrible directness of lier/ questions. "In fact, you have made Isaac underling, laborer, slavey to your grand new gardener, is that it?" she cried. "Oh, come now," he began, but Dorothy stood still in the road and confronted him angrily. "Is it so or not?" she asked. "Well, something like that," he admitted, unwillingly. "Is it absolutely so or not?" Dorothy asked again. "Well, I'm afraid it is," said David, with a great air of making a clean breast of the whole matter. "You see, Dorothy, the old fellow never was much of a hand at gardening " "He waa good enough for us," sighed Dorothy, in heart broken voice. "Yes; but indeed he really was past his work, or I should never have thought of displacing him. And if it hadn't been for you—that he was a good many years your gardener " "Nearly forty years," put in Dorothy. "Well, of course, if it hadn't been for that I should just have replaced him without troubling any further about him. As it was, I made a place for him, and I gave him ten shillings a week for what I could get better done by a boy for six." "And the cottage?" asked she. "Oh, well, of course, the cottage gees with the situation," answered David, who was getting rather sulky. There was a moment's silence; then Dorothy suddenly stopped and turned to face him. "David," she flashed out, "you may be a good farmer, but you are a hard man, a hard man. One of these days you'll come to be—but, there, what is the good of talking to you? If long and faithful service will not touch your heart, what else will?" "Tihere Is one thing which will always have power to touch my heart," he said, eagerly. "Shall I tell you what?" "No," said Dorothy, wearily. "I probably should not believe it. If forty Tears would not do it, nothing else could." As she spoke she turned down the street whioh led to Palace Mansions.

David, for <his part, took advantage of the quiet side street, and spoke out what was in his mind. "Dorothy," he said, "come back to the Hall, and I will show you whether I am a hard man or not; only come back and let us forget the past, nobody need know anything. I will never remind you of it. Only come back, my dear, and everything shall be as you wish—as you direct. I'll send the new gardener to Holroyd, and Isaac shall be head gardener at the Hall, with a couple of men under him to do the work. Does that sound like being hard, Dorothy?" a "Yes," said Dorothy, coldly—"hardest of all, because you would not hesitate to buy me, -body and soul, through my compassion and pity for those poor unfortunate ones, who can not help themselves, and can not fight against the hard power which your money and your strength give you." "Oh, Dorothy, it is not so," he cried. "I only ask you to come back because I love you and want you. Besides, I can not bear to see you as you look now—tired and worn, and ten years older than when you turned your back on all your old friends for the sake of a fellow who has brought you to this." "To ..what?" Dorothy cried, her «res opening wide, and her tones expressing such astonishment that David fairly quailed before her look. "To a ghost of your old self," he answered curtly. But it waa all of no use. Dorothy could be curt, too, on, occasions, and she was so then. ••It seems to me that you are making mistakes all rotted, David," she said, coldly. "I am not very well, and the heat has tired me—but I am not what you take me for. I have been, thank God for It, a blessedly happy wife for many months. I will wlsfc you good morning, David." She turned away without giving him tim* to aay a word, and went as quickljr at was possible toward her home, and went in without turning her head to see what had become of him. As for Davim Stevenson, he simply stood reotesl to tfce spot where she had left him, usttl ah* «uM>«»red from his rtft*t; tkta fee took a aUp or two M if to follow her, but changed his mind, and retraced his steps, with a face like a thunder cloud. He waH so occupied with his own thoughts and his own disappointment that he never noticed a smart victoria and pair which was drawn up just within the corner of the quiet street, but its occupant, an old, white-haired gentleman, had noticed him, and took keen stock of him as he passed. David Stevenson would have been considerably surprised if he could have heard the order which the same old gentleman gave his coachman just after he had swung past. "Follow that gentleman closely. Don't lose sight of him." "Yes, m' lord," said the servant, and hopped up onto the box, giving the order to the coachman. "All right," murmured that dignitary in reply, then added in a lower voice still, "What's the old codger up to now, I wonder?" "Uncommon pretty girl," answered Charles, in an equally low tone, "We've been after her some time." "Who is she?" "Mrs. 'Arris. Lives in Palace Mansions," with a wink. "H'm! I wishes her Joy of 'im," said the coachman, screwing <hls face up into a thousand Expressive wrinkles. "Me, too," said the footman, sniggering. "Hi, he's going into the Park," whereat the coachman turned bis horses in at Prince's Gate, also, and they drove in abreast of David Stevenson, who was looking no more at peace with the world or with himself than he had been when he turned into the High street, out of the quiet road ia which Palace Mansions may be found. "Still faithful to Master Dick, or else the new-comer not attractive enough/' thought Lord Aylmer, with t ;neer, as he gave a sharp, keen look ,*t the tall young man's lowering face. CHAPTER XXI. THINK that David Stevenson had never been In such a ^2 towering rage in his life as when he turned in at the Park gates and w e n t swinging along in the direction of the Achilles. For during those few moments when he watched her after she left him and before she disappeared into Palace Mansions, he had realized that she had gone from him forever. He realized that whether she was actually married or not, she was not for him, and he had suddenly become aware, almost without knowing why, that there was a cause for her altered looks —a cause which would be forever a bar to the fond hopes which he had cherished during nearly all his life, certainly ever since Dorothy as a wee, toddying, teoft-eyed child had come, fatherless and motherless, to be the light ?nd life of the old Hall and the very joy of Miss Dimsdale's lonely hearth. So that fellow had got round her, after all—his bitter thoughts ran, as he strode along—and all the worship and devotion of his life had been flung HAILED A CAB. aside as naught for the sake of a specious tongue and a swaggering, army sort of manner. As a matter of fact, Dick had not the very smallest shade of a swagger about him, but David Stevenson was the kind of man who invariably judges every man by a type, and to him an army man was a man who turned his toes out a good deal more than was necessary and said "Haw!" after every three words he spoke. That the man who had stolen Dorothy's love from him did neither of these things made no difference to David's conception of him. He had stolen Dorothy from him, and that was enough to make David cudow him in his own mind with all the most hateful attributes of his detestable class. Nor did he even stop to consider that he was distinctly unjust in crediting Harris with stealing Dorothy's love from him. For It Is impossible to steal from any man what that man had never had to lose, and most, emphatically he had never possessed one little tiny corner of Dorothy Strode's heart; to be plain, Dorothy had always detested him. For an hour or more David strode about the Park till the storm of fury which possessed him had somewhat calmed down, and always the smart victoria, with its pair of high stepping, fiery horses and Its pair of woodenfaced, imperturbable servants in their white and crimson liveries, dogged his steps and kept him fairly in sight; and at last David noticed them. "Damn that supercilious old brute," he muttered, as they passed him for the twentieth time; then he stood nt the rollings a minute or two and thought how slow it was—wondered how men and women could bear to crawl up and down in line, frettrng their fine horses into a fever and never getting beyond a foot's pace. He turned away from the row- into a side path, but the next moment he saw that the smart victoria had turned into that road also. "Confound him, he must be watching me," he thought, irritably, "and yet what should he want to watch me for? Oh, hang it, I'll go home!" Without a moment's hesitation he turned his steps toward Apsley House and made his way out at the big gates, where he hailed a cab and gave the man the address of his hotel, and forgot about the white-haired old gentleman in the smart victoria. But the victoria was there, nevertheless, following immediately behind the modest cab; and when David got out and went into the Grand Hotel, Lord Aylmer called to the footman: "Charles, I want you to take a message. Barker, stop." Barker pulled up the horses beside the broad pavement and Charles got down to hear his lord's orders. "Go into the Grand and find out that gentleman's name— don& mention mine." "Yes, m'lord," said Now, Charles ha genious youth who was not troubled with any nice scruples abont his honor, and believed that,/the easiest way was invariably^-tfie best way. He therefore, secure in the halo which his smart white and crimson livery was enough to cast around him, went into the hotel and addressed himself to the stately house porter of the establishment. "I say, porter," said he, "my master, the Dook of Middlesex, wants to know the name of a gentleman just come in —came in a 'ansom—tall, fairish chap, looks like a country gentleman." "D'year mean that one?" asked the house porter, taking Charles to a glass door leading to the reading room and pointing out David. WOMAN'S FATE. From the Record, Buthnell, ifl, Ko woman is better able to apeak to otk- •rsregarding "woman's*tote*r than Mrs. Jacob We«TUP, of BUfchnjU, 111, wife o f * * city marshal Weaver. She had entirely recovered from the illness which kept her bedfast much of the time lor five or six years past, and sayi her recovery is due to that well known remedy. Dr. Williams' l»ink Pills. 1 Mrs. Weaver is flfty-stx years old, and has lived in Bushnell nearly thirty years. She is of unquestioned veracity and unblemished reputation. The story of her recovery is interesting. She says: " I suffered for five or six years with the trouble that comes to women at this time of my life. I was much weakened, waa unable much of the the time to do my own work, and suffered beyond my power to describe. I waa downhearted and melancholy. I " I took many different medicines, in fact I took medicine ail the time, bat notbing seemed to do mo any good. "I read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and some of my friends recommended them highly. I made up my mind to try them. I bought the first DOX in March. 18fJ7, and was behefitted from the start. "A box and a half cared me completely, and I am now r u g g e d a n d strong. I have not been bothered with my troubles since „ „, 1 began taking the Mrs. Jacob Weaver. pilU. *' I have recommended the pills to many women who are suffering as I suffered. They are the only thing that helped me in the trial that cocoes to so many women at my age." MRS. J. H; WEAVEB. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 23d day of October, A. D., 1897. O. C. HICKS, Notary Public. When woman is passing beyond the age of motherhood, it u a crisis in her life. Theu, it ever, proper attention to hygiene should be exercised. The attendant sufferings will disappear and buoyant health will follow if pr Williams' Pink Pills are used. These pills exert a powerful influence in restoring the system to its proper condition. They contain in a condensed form all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood. arles. d to be an inYes, that's the one," Charles answered. "Oh, yes; that's Mr. David Stevenson, of Holroyd," said the house porter. "And Where's Holroyd?" "A mile or two from Harwich," answered the other. "At least, I heard him say so last night. His post-town is Harwich." "Ah! yes—thanks. The Dook fancied he knoo him, but I fancy he was mistook. Good day to you, porter." "Good-day to you, my fine cockpheasant," returned the big house porter, contemptuously; but Charles had already reached the door and was going back, serene in the power of his own impudence, to Impart the information which he had gathered to his master. "The gentleman!* name is Stevenson, my lord," he said. "Mr. David -Stevenson, of Holroyd, Harwich." "Ah, yes," and then the old savage pulled out his notebook and jotted the name down without comment. "How did you find out?" "I said my master, the Dook of Middlesex, wished to know, as he fancied he knoo the gentleman," Charles answered, promptly. Lord Aylmer burst out laughing. "Ah! very clever—clever. Home." "Yes, m' lord." said-Charles. Lord Aylmer laughed more than once on the way home; he was so intensely amused at the inventive genius displayed by Charles, whom he had not before credited with much sharpness of that kind. He was a man who never took the trouble to make subterfuges to his servants; if he wanted a bit of information, he simply told one of them to get it. without caring what means were taken or giving any reason for wanting it. For instance, ae would never .say, "Go and find out who that gentleman is," and add, as ninety-nine people out of a hundred would do, "I think I know him"—no, he never troubled to do that; it was simply after the manner of the centurion, "Go and find out who that is?" (To be continued.) He—''You look sweet enough to kisa in that dress.'' She—"My dressmaker told me she didn't think I'd be disap-, pointed in it." IT Stop It Quickly, Just the Same as Did Mr. Charles U. Hoffman, of 182 Ten Eyck Street, Jackson. If you have a pain in your back, stop it.' A. lame back, stop it! An aching buck, stop it! Do you want to know how ? Let us tell you! Iu the first place, never try to rid yourself of paia without knowing the cause. If pain or ache exist there is reason for it. Find out this reason and get after it. Strike cause a stiff blow with the right weapon, and its allies, pain and ache, will flee like chaff before Unwind. To get right down to it, backache is indicative of kidney disorders, a spy placed there by nature; listen to his warnings and take up the weapon, strike before disease is reinforced with allies that can pot be routed by hand of man, 6uch as Bright's djsjtase^__l(gt_U8jn trod urn to you this weapon! Let us prove its superiority to ail others! Here is a blow it 8truck: Mr. Charles H. Hoffman is a fireman on the M. C. R R, and resides at 132 Ten Evck Street, Jackson, Mich, Be says: " i have suffered for a long time from a kidney and bladder disorder which lias at times rendered me incapable of work; have been at the hospital for my complaint and discharged from there as cured, but the old complaint lias invariably come back again. Some time ago I heard of Poan's Kidney Pills, and I began taking them, with most gratifying results. Urinary complaints which bothered me greatly are very much improved, and the pain I suffered in my back has entirely left me, my general condition is much improved. I would not like to be without Doan's Kidney Pills. I think others should know what a valuable remedy it is." For sale bv all dealers, price 50 cents. Mailed by Foster-MiUmrn Co., Buffalo. N.

Brown and has transported her spirit to that home of the redeemed, where the dark hand of death cannot enter, therefore be it Resolved, That the sweet memories of her Chrietian life be cherished by every member of the Church Workers society and may we strive to imitate her many Christian virtues. Resolved, That by the death of this sister this society has lost a member, who when health and strength would permit, always seemed glad to be with us and though trials and temptations beset her path on all aides, yet ehe was always found at her poet doing her duty as her Master directed. Resolved, That we hereby extend our heartfelt sympathy to the members of the family who so deeply mourn theij loss and recommend to them that Christ, who is-a healer of all wounde is able to re-unite friands in heaven.
