He had finished ItretkfMtt and at sea, when a man ends his meal, he departs without a moment's loss of time to relieve the man. who has relieved him, supposing it to tfe his watch on deck. "A. pity you didn't sail in any other ship than the Thetis, Laura," said he, and with a glance at Pope, that seemed malevolent owing to the shadow with which his scar dyed it, he trudged up the short steps. "Crystal is not a good tempered man," said Pope, softly. "He is in concern about me," answered Laura. "I hare served kim woll," continued Pope, leaning back, and gazing at her thoughtfully. "He was so poor when I fell In with him in London that, in a few days, he would not have possessed a shilling for a meal. Probably his share in this voyage will already work ont at considerably over a thousand poands—I include a certain draft which Is sure to be honored. I accepted all the risks. I burdened myself with a painful memory, I found him a comfortable berth, and offered him a share in my fortune, and how does he repay me? He dislikes that I should even admire you—you, madam, who arer so admirable that no man could behold you without adoration." Her cheeks were burning, but certainly not with displeasure. And now he exhibited great tact, for though he was alone with her he made no at- • tempt to press himself, though I will not say that this might not have been owing In a small degree to the accident of his casting his eyes up to the skylight, through which he beheld a number of surly, irritable, impatient, piratic faces staring down at him and the girl. When everything had been conveyed on deck. Pope lighted a cigar and followed tho men. He found all hands assembled. The plunder had been heaped between the skylight and the wheel, and companionway, "May I come on deck?" "An instant," roared Pope. He caught the bell and shouted, "Strike the bell eight" "Eight bells," echoed Crystal, and while a pirate hammered eight silvery chimes out of the throat of a little green bell that hung close abaft the foremast, Capt. Pope went along to Laura Crystal. "It is good to breathe this air after the atmosphere of the cabin," she ex* claimed, "and it is dull downstairs." Before Pope could answer, Crystal trudged up. Pope paused a moment to look around the sea, and in that pause Laura's eyes rested upon his fine face, and Crystal noticed the look. The square man put down his quadrant, and he and Laura fell a-pacing the deck, Pope descending. The cousins walked tho deck for a little while in silence. Crystal then suddenly said, screwing his eyes into the extremity of their sockets so as to observe the girl without turning his head: "What d'ye think of Pope?" "He's a very gentlemanly sailor," she answered, -with a slight smile. "He's much too handsome, dignified, and well-bred to be a pirate." Crystal's mouth widened in a grin, but there was little or no mirth in the grimace. "I hope," says he bluntly, now turning his head to look at her fully, "that you're not going to fall in love with him. Eh! is it so? Has his blarney bitten ye already?" He paused, breathing hard. "Curse me," he continued, "if Jonathan Crystal is going to let any relation of his marry a pirate." "Why not?"" said Laura coolly. "The Crystals are a respectable old family and pirates are hanged," said Crystal in a low note. "Aren't you a pirate." cried the beautiful girl, "and aren't you likely to be hanged?" "No," roared Crystal in a tone that "This wit! save the Crystals from disgrace!" the pirates made a considerable crowd on either hand of it. Pope, smoking a cigar, walked up to the pile of stuff, thus stationing himself between the mobs of men. He said: "My lads, all that we have taken so far is here. There is gold in those cases. No call to count the coins. We know to a shilling by the ship's papers what the amount is." Sitting down on one of the cases, he palled out a notebook and a pencil, and his men watched him in silence while he made certain calculations. "I will not give you his figures; to tell the truth I do not recollect them. I believe that he reserved one-tSird of the money for himself and brig, giving Crystal a fourth of the remainder, and the rest to the men in equal portions, without regard to ratings. %The old man who told me this story was not very clear on this head. When Pope had called out the figures aloud, Htandins up to do so, and looking about him with a face of iron, he cried out. "You are satisfied, I hope?" "Who's a-going to make the valuation?" exclaimed a pirate, impatiently. "The capt'n—who else could?" says Bobbin, in the crowd, adding instantly, "always begging of Mr. Crystals pardon." . "Let's shove ahead, then," says Pope. It was noon before the worth of the things had been summed up. The malt bags had Tiol been opened. Pope broke off to tr».e sights with Crystal, -a^d the men went below to dinner, two remaining to sentinel the booty. A melodious voice sounded in the caused the evil-eyed helmsman to start and stare. "See this! 'tis this that will save the Crystals from disgrace," and he whipped a pistol out of his breast. "You frighten me more than ever Capt. Pope does," said Laura, who had turned a little pale, though she spoke steadiiy. "I would rather be protected by him than by you. You're in a bad temper and look terrible. Capt. Pope is all goodness and consideration, and I'll go downstairs until you make me feel easy in your company;" and down she' went, to the amazement of the square man, who stood rooted, but swaying on his strong legs watching her sink through the hatch. The cabin man was preparing the table for dinner. Laura sat down upon a locker and sank into thought. On a sudden Pope's door opened and the captain stepped forth. He started with a look of transport on beholding her, and instantly approached and seated himself at her side. He made as if he would take her hand, checked himself, but self-restraint fired his cheek with blood, and she thought he looked handsomer than she had ever before seen him. "Is not all that booty I have been looking at upstairs enough for you?" said she. "Enough for m e ; But there are others." "What will be your share?" "Say two thousand pounds," he answered, smiling at these inquiries, which were made charming to him by the beautiful face he looked at. "Can you make the rest satisfy the men, so as to end this voyage and save your Uvea?" touched," said h* in his sweetest man ner, *th*t you. should feel anxious about my safety This was significant, and so, were her blushes; but if Pope at this-moment intended to make love, his passion must be hindered by the intrusion of a round of salt, boiled beef. In fact, the cabin dinner was ready. Crystal was called, Grinclal was shouted for and took charge, and the two captains and the young lady seated themselves. It was plain from Crystal's face that he continued in a bad temper. Though Pope could not but cast from time to time an adoring glance at Laura, he refrained from making direct love to her under Jonathan's nose. When they were seated Pope said: "Miss Crystal is uneasy about you and me, Johnny; she would have us end the voyage before we're captured and hanged. I have told her that we are not yet rich enough." "She need not trouble herself with, fears of our being hanged," said Crystal; "depend upon it in my death 1 shall not disgrace those who bear my name." "How long is this voyage going to last?" exclaimed Laura. "Long enough to satisfy the purpose of it," replied Pope. "I am here to make my fortune. I have made no fortune as yet; nothing under ten thousand pounds will satisfy me. If Capt. Crystal Is dissatisfied let him take his share and I'll shift him into the first ship we signal." ^My Crystal. "Does she? does she?" exclaimed Pope. Then growing sensible that his power of self-restraint was abandoning him, he sprang to his feet and, making Miss Laura one of his courtliest bows, went up the companionsteps, carrying himself with a grace which the girl thought no man, had ever surpassed. "All the same," says Crystal gloomily and sullenly, "if I shift, as he calls it, you shift with me." "You are not grateful, you are not even gracious," she answered. He said, with an oath, "You are in love with him." On which she rose and went to her cabin. Crystal finished his dinner. It was not yet three bells; he drank two strong tumblers of rum and water, then joined Pope on deck. Half a score of the pirates had collected about the stuff. The rest of the crew were at this time slowly coming torward though three bells had not been struck. Pope stood with folded arms gazing down at the mail bags, but it was sure his thoughts were not with them. Lifting his eyes, he saw Crystal, and without the least menace of manner, though without any hint of • cordiality, either, he put his hand \ upon the rugged man's shoulder, and j drew him to the rail away from the | listeners. | "Ye don't want to go adrift, John?" "Not without my cousjn." "See here," says Pope, taking a step so as to command Crystal's face. "My father, who was a clergyman of the Church of England, used to say, the priest tells the parson, if you do not believe in my church you must go .to hell. And my father would say the parson's reply would be, if you do not believe in my church you must go to hell. For every man has a right to his own opinion, Johnny, and if you don't like mine, say the word. Pocket your share," says he, pointing to the litter of stuff, "and I'll put ye aboard the first ship we see." "You'll put us aboard?" says Crystal savagely. "By ," and here Pope swore, "I'd cut your throat first, man, yea, even as you slept, before I parted with her. She's my booty. She's my prize. She loves me." He rounded on his heel and walked away to the pile of plunder, and Crystal at the rail watched him under the shadow of his scar with his brain fashioning a scheme whose one primary and essential feature was—and he was not too drunk to conceive it— that he must stick to the brig. Avowing Milk F«t«r. When pasturage is not available succulent food, such at silage, is very desirable for breeding animals, more so, of course, for cows than horses, as it helps to keep the system relaxed and does not produce an undue amount of fat, says Professor A. M. Soule. Milk fever, or what Is generally known as parturient apoplexy, Is one of the most dangerous diseases with which the breeder has to contend, and it is more likely to occur when the breeding animals are fed on dry roughness and rich meals, such as corn meal and cottonseed meal. These feeds rather tend to produce a fevered condition of the system; the dry roughness has rather a binding effect and the meals mentioned produce too much fat, and where they are fed without discretion the trouble mentioned is most likely to occur. While the disease can and has been successfully treated by the Schmitt method, in the experience of the writer (which has been considerable) it leaves the cow's nervous system in a very bad condition. In fact, in nearly all instances within the knowledge of the writer it has permanently injured the milk flow and the cows recovering from the treatment have never been anything like »as valuable for dairy purposes afterwards. As this trouble can be obviated in a very large meascousin goes with mo," said \ur® b X using proper, care in feeding the cow, the Importance of giving more attention to this matter becomes apparent. Even when succulent foods are available only a small amount of grain should be fed io?medlately before parturition, and this had best consist of wheat bran. Previous to this time a limited amount of cottonseed meal and wheat bran, and even a small amount of corn meal can by fed with impunity to advantage. While the bran may be used in the ordinary condition in warm weather, in cold weather it is frequently an advantage to use it in the form of a mash, and it is also well to give two or three liberal doses of salts. Should the uv'^er of tho cow become very large before calving, it should be carefully milked out and kneaded and worked with every day, so as to prevent inflammation and caking cf ths u«uer.

On each and eveifc occasion the results obtained were just as satisfactory as when the pills were first brought to my notice. I Just as emphatically endorse the preparation to-day as I did over two years ago."

In connection with the New York Sanitarium at Clifton Springs, they have established a model creamery, from a hygienic standpoint. All milk, for whatever purpose designed, whether to bo consumed as milk or cream, or whether to be made into icecream or butter is to be pasteurized. The hygienic features begin with the buildings, which are so constructed that they can be, and are kept, absolutely Clean. The milking is done in such a way that bacteria and all germs are practically excluded. Perfect sanitation in the building enables them to guarantee absolutely pure milk. The handling of the milk from the time It is taken from the cow, until the finished product is ready for use, is also done in such a manner that it is a pleasure to the consumer to use the goods, not only because of their extremely fine quality, but the fact of their being produced in so e'eanly and sanitary manner gives them an added flavor.—Elgin Dairy Report. CHAPTER XX. The Mails. It was now for Pope to open the mail bags and examine their contents. Crystal left the bulwarks, against which he had been leaning, and drew close. There were several bags of malls, and each was stuffed full. The contents consisted of letters, newspapers, little parcels, and the like. The letters which contained nothing but writing were flung overboard. One stout envelope^ in the third bag that was opened, secured by tape and green sealing wax, was found to contain a flat packet of small diamonds. Some bills of exchange were met with. Bank notes of the value of six hundred pounds. Sundry small packages contained articles of jewelry. (To be continued.) A pauper In the right is btftar ttaK a roKJlonalre in Uw w<rng. European Cow Population. A German writer makes the following calculations as to the cows of th€ leading European countries: Cows to 100 Cows. Inhabitants.

They are as follows: Greece, 360,000; Italy, 5,000,000; Portugal, 625,000; Roumania, 2,589,000; Russia, 35,916,857; Spain, 2,217,659. It is probable thai in most of these countries the cow population is 50 per cent of all. The land best adapted to the cucumber is a moist, warm, light, sandy loam; although sandy soil is not so productive, the finest and earliest cucumbers may be f^-own on it if highly and properly lertilized.

M. de Saint Ouen de PlerrecouTt, an eccentric French millionaire, died a short time ago and left the greater! part of his fortune to his native city, Qt Rouen, stipulating that the municipality was to found an annual prize of $20,000 as a dowry for a giant and a giantess in order to regenerate the human race. An amicable arrange-; ment has now been made between the heirs and the city of Rouen. The family attacked the will on the ground that the "giant clause" was impossible of execution. By the arrangement now made the city of Rouen will pay the heirs $600,000, while out of the residue it undertakes to found an undertaking, "inspired by the idea of protecting, preserving and improving the human race, but which shall not cost more than $160,000." The details of this undertaking have not yet been divulged. Manager Is Sent to Jail.

An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct was led to study various foods and their effects upon the human system. In other words before he could carry out his plans he had to find a food that wouH carry him along and renew his physical and mental strength. He knew that a food that was a brain and nerve builder, (rather than a mere fat maker), was universally needed. He knew that meat with the average man does not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centers is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem. Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the now xamous food. Grape-Nuts contain the brain and nerve building food elements in condition for easy digestion. The result of eating Grape-Nuts daily is easily seen in a marked sturdinesa and activity of the brain and nervous system, making it a pleasure for one to carry on the daily duties without fatigue or exhaustion. The food is in no sense a stimulant hut is simply food which renews and replaces tho daily waste of brain and nerves. Its flavor is charming and being fully and thoroughly cooked at the factory it is served instantly with cream. The signature of the brain worker spoken of, C. W. Post, Is to be seen on each genuine package of Grape- Nuts. Look in each package for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to WaUviUe.'1 \ m^ ***m**^*** ?'• * \ ' ~ ' * $ * $ , >*?' fc* ^ . • • * • MM" t' ? |46t~FlaU»red. *Tm sfoin* to put you in » boolr" saht tb*.

And fortunately again—I may say providentially—the deacon slept through the whole of it." ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost, notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the heart .- • of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head, undaunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently* his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It ap peared on later conversation that Peruna has been used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says it is. The fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and hat won its way to the hearts of the people. The natural timidity which so many people have felt about giving endorsements to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired thousand* fit people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would - ot have consented to such publicity. Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that BO many men of national and international reputation have been wifiing to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary remedy. No amount of advertising could have accomplished such a result. Peruna has won on its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or location in the human body. This is why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements. Address The Peruna Drug M'f'g Co., Columbus, Ohio, for free literature on catarrh. An Overbletsed Father. "There air two things," Bail Josh Billings, "for which a man is generally onprepared. They are—twins." Still lebs is a man prepared for twins born in two different years. In the house ot one of the well-known inhabitants of Chicago a child was born shortly before 11 o'clock on the last night of the old year, and soon after midnight a second came into the world. The result is that though the children are t#ins they will have birthdays on different; days; for the- one wilt have to be celebrated on December 31 and the other on January 1 of the following year. Cathedral Project Not Popular. Bishop Potter of New York is experiencing much difficulty in raising the great sums necessary for the construction of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Many clergymen and laymen of the diocese regard the project as medieval and a decided waste of money. So strong is this feeling that the bishop has been much disappointed at lack of contributions. Rich parishioners seem to have closed their pocketbooks for a time at least. Then They Clinched.

Franksville, Wis., Oct. 12th.—Many remarkable cures are being reported from all over the country but there 1¾ one right here in Franksville which Is certainly worth publishing, and which has not as yet been given to the public. Mrs. Louis Markison of this place had been a sick woman for quite a long time and could not find anything to give her any help. She suffered all the painful symptoms of what is generally known as female weakness. Every woman who reads her story will understand these distressing conditions which combine to make the lives of many women one long bur- .den of weakness and suffering. Mrs. Markison chanced one day to hear of a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, that was said to be a splendid medicine for women's weakness. She determined to try some and soon found herself getting better. She kept on with the pills and was cured. Speaking of her case, Mrs. Markison says: — "I can and do praise Dodd's Kidney Pilla as a remedy for female weakness. They are the best medicine I have ever known, and have done me 8 creat deal of good." Injurious to the Eyes. Looking Into the fire is very injurious to the eye, particularly a coal fire. The stimulus of light and heat united soon destroys the eyes. Looking at molten iron will soon destroy the sight. Reading in the twilight is injurious to the eyes, as they are obliged to make great exertion. Reading or sewing with a side light injures the eyes, as both eyes should be exposed to an equal force of light. Those who wish to preserve their sight should preserve their generaL health by correct' habits of living, and give their eyes just work enough, with a due degree of light Certainly.

No one who is acquainted with its good qualities can be so prised at the great popularity of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It not only cures cold and grip effectually and permanently, but. preveuts these diseases from resulting in pneumonia, It is also a certain cure for croup. Whooping cough is not dangerous when this remedy is given. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. It is also pleasant to take. When all of these facts are taken into eonsideation it is not surprising that people in foreign lands, as well as at home, esteem this remedy very highly and very few are willing to take any other after having once nsed it.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a bacillus or germ which exists plentifully in street dirt. It is inactive so long as exposed to the air, but when carried beneath the skin as in the wounds caused by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and when the air is excluded the germ is roused to activity and produces the most virulent poison known.

The big city paper fills its place but never can take the place of the little home paper. Well, they may poke fun at the conntry weekly as they will, but we fail to see why the fact that a resident of Pinckney has lately bought the place of another resident and intends to move into it, may not be as well worth chronicling in the local paper as the fact that the dog of a famous actress died on the steamer is worth two-column pictures and a half column description of it in the city dailies. Blamed if we can see much difference in merit between a poodle dog editorial in a city daily and a "big cabbage laid on the desk of ye editor' ot a country weekly. m m » AFTER A TITLE. Geo. Reade, of Webster is now in England to claim the baronetcy of Shipton court. Says a dispatch to the Chicago Record-Herald: "He found Shipton Court in possession of the heirs of Joseph Wakefield, who in 1873 was footman to Sir John Reade, the grandfather, seventh baronet. He obtained evidence that the estate was deeded to Wakefield by Sir John Reade because of knowledge which Wakefield bad of the murder by Sir John of Linden, his butler." There was always something mysterious about Sir John Reade, who lived in Webster, coming to this conntry. That he was a direct descendant ot one of England's nobility there has never been any doubt as the proofs were too authentic to deny. Saves Two From Death. "Our little daughter had an almost fatal attack of whooping cough and bronchitis," writes Mrs. W. K. Haviland, ot Armonk, N. T., "but, when all othei remedies failed, we saved her life with Dr. Kinjrs New Discovery. Our niece, who had Consumption in an advanced stage, .also used this wonderful medicine and today she is perfectly well."

Dr. WHlard barker, who for many years stood at the head of the medical profession in New York city, said: ''One-third of all the deaths in New York city are caused b y alcoholic drinks," General Sheridan once asked what temptation he feared most for his boy. He answered, "It is the curse of strong drink. 0 , I would rather see my little son die to day than see him carried in to his mother drunk?" Why so much violation of law? Reason No. 1 is that the hungry brewers are so eager to sell their beer that any kind of a man can come to this city and secure a saloon. All he needs is the month's rent The brewer gives him the lioensey the fixtures, e c t , ect. The man has nothing invested, and he starts to make all the money he can, in as short a time as possible. H e keeps open after hoars, puts in slot machines, and in other ways violates the law. As long as he keeps selling beer the brewer won't kick. When he finally goes to far and is caught, the brewer has no further use for him. They close the store snd wait for another dupe to come along, when the same performance is repeated. There are hundreds of stores in this oity ran on the above plan.—Liquor Trades' Review.

About 10 o'clock a stranger was observed by one of the officers on duty at the White '.House wandering about in the north lobby. He had sneaked in the front. door without being noticed. On beiu.',' questioned he gave his name as .Tdlin ,Decker, and his home in Norwich, Conn. He merely wanted to see the president, he said. The officer thereupon turned him over to the police. He was not armed and made no hostile demonstration, according to vhn statement of the officer in charge. On orders from Secretary Loeb the at- .taches of the White House are no [longer permitted to give out information regarding such callers for fear that t i e notoriety will attract others.

"Organized capital, through its antiboycott and employers' associations, must stop its raid on the savings of the. trades unions or the union men will withdraw $300,000,000 from the banks." Such la the statement made by Thomas I. Kidd, vice-president of the Am-1 erlcan Federation of Labor, after an! Investigation of the damage suits' which the American Anti-Boycott as-! sociation and Employers' association have filed against the trade unions. Kidd intimated that It is within the, power of union labor to throw the' country into a financial panic by taking from circulation the $300,000,000 which he says labor controls. In this connection it may be stated that the money stock of the country approxi-' mates $2,275,000,000.

Hayward, of New York, has been appointed receiver of the Morse Iron Works & Drydock Oo.,i which has operated a $2,000,000 plant in South Brooklyn, said to be one of the largest on the Atlantic coast. The demands of labor unions are attributed by those concerned as the cause of the company's embarrassment. Edmund Mooney, counsel for the company, said: "If the men would give a full day's work employers might be more willing to meet their demands, but the fact Is the employer today receives only about one-third of a day's work and It is impossible to figure on a large contract without running the risk of a heavy loss. Trade unionism is responsible for the whole trouble." Bryan In 111. Looking thin, worn and haggard, and confessedly in bad health, Wm. J.

' There is a "dry" doe in the woods of Price county, Wis., which owes her life to the fact that she is sot afraid of a light This sort of deer is occasionally found by jack-hunters, but not often. Two men went out alter deer along the north fork of Flambeau River last week. They were using a flat-bottomed boat, heavy and clumsy, and one of them drove it with a pole. At half past 10 o'clock they saw a buck. That is, they caught a glance of his eye as he slewed his head around and looked at them over his shoulder preparatory to leaping to bank. He started in half a second and the powerful carbide lamp showed just enough of him to expose his horns as he went. An hour later they rounded a bond and the doe stood in full view. She was in prime condition, fat and sleek. She was not more than twenty yards distant and threw her head up and glared at the light as soon as it came within range. It is possible that the brightness of its rays blinded her. The wind was blowing from her to the hunters so she could not scent them. The man who was poling dropped the long pole, sat down and took up the paddle. The boat continued to advance and the deer to stand still. It crept on foot by foot and she betrayed no nervousness. Now and then she thrust her nose far upward, turned her head to one side and expanded her nostrils in the effort to sniff the j scent of the approaching party, but flight did not occur to her. The boat got within twenty feet of : her, then within ten feet Another ' stroke of the paddle and it would have been upon her. Then she turn- : ed toward the bank and walked slow- ; ly away. Twice she stopped and look- \ ed back at the light; once she stop- \ ped, gathered a mouthful of wateri grass and chewed it. Still at a walk. ; never hurrying even into a slow trot, ' she went up the bank and disap- ; peared. I All this time there had been a man ' sitting with a high-power rifle just j hehind the light He wanted deer I meat badly, and could, of course have \ blown a hole through the animal if he i he had been so minded. In fact, he ! could have knocked it down with the ! guide's pole which lay in the bottom : of the boat. He said afterward: 'j "I could not shoot.

"Can't you think up some privilege to go with the chances—something that would be an honor rather than of intrinsic value?" I remembered Lady Godiva. Of course that wouldn't do in modern times, but it set me thinking. Finally I hit on something. The only trouble about It was that Miss Garland might not fall in with the plan. "The only honor I can think of would be a kiss," I said. "Why, Mr. Feiary!" exclaimed Miss Garland, under her breath. "Ton surely wouldn't suggest my giving any one who would take a chance a kiss." "Certainly not. But suppose the whole fifty chances could be sold for one kiss." Miss Garland looked at the floor, then at the ceiling, then out of the window. "Yea see, there is a great difference between kissing fifty men and kissing one man," I added. "Yes, but it Is as bad to kiss a man once as to kiss him fifty times." "If it is wrong to kiss him at all." There was a long pause, during which Miss Garland picked up a piece of paper and tore It Into little bits. 8he didn't seem to get en with her problem. I must help her. "I think I know a man who wonld take your chances in the raffle with the honor attached." She made no reply to this, and I proceeded: "He is not a stranger to you. He has known and admired you for a long while, it wouldn't be like selling a kiss. It would give him great happiness, release you from the responsibility of peddling the chances and benefit the orphans." "I don't think," she replied, after much consideration, "that It wenld be right, even under the circumstances, for me to kiss a man to whom I am not engaged." "Who knows but that an engagement might follow." "Engagements usually precede such things." "But this is a peculiar case. It wouldn't do for you to engage yourself to a man simply that you might sell him a kiss to benefit an orphan asylum." "It could be broken afterward." "That would be a mere subterfuge. If there is a sin in the transaction it would not be wiped away by such an arrangement as that." "Can't you suggest something that would make the sale justifiable?" "Oh, the charity renders it justifiable." "Do you really think so?" "Certainly I do, or I wouldn't suggest It." There was more thought, but the question was being rapidly narrowed down. "You haven't told me who the man Is," she said. "I have told you that he is an admirer of yours.** "It seems to me that a kiss given a man who has no interest in me or I in him would be merely a touching of the lips without any feeling, whereas a kiss from a man who admired me would be very different" "I should think you would prefer the latter." This remark also elicited no reply. Miss Garland was still thinking, thinking hard. She was very anxious to dispose of her chances in one lot, but the manner of doing so seemed to her very irregular. "What do you suppose," she said at last, "the people present would think of me?" "There need be no people present." "Oh, I supposed the thing was to be done at the fair." "No: it could be done in private. Indeed I'm quite sure the man buying the kiss would not expose you or himself to snch publicity." "But in public It wouldn't be as much harm." "I see no harm in It either wi.."

She bent her eyes to the floor, where they remained a long while. Then she said very faintly: "1 accept the terms. Take it" "Not till It is given me by ray promised wife." There is one thing for which Mrs. Feiary gives me great credit, though 1 believe it is the only thing. She says I proposed delightfully. HARRISON HOLMES.

Pope kept the newspapers to read; thero was no lit- «ratur* la tho little ship, and he believed these West Indian journals voold interest Miss Crystal. When the baga had been thoroughly sacked, orery letter and parcel opened and flung away, Pope read out the figures fee bad entered and told the men how much more they were worth in solid money since eight bells had been struck. "Are you satisfied?" he said. Yes, they were all satisfied. "Mark now, my hearts," he exclaimed, "that this is only the beginsing; this cruise isn't up until I'm worth ten thousand pounds, and ye'll «11 be rich men when that's been brought about. You can fill your cans •Od drink success; this is a good day's ww*." Going aft, Capt. Pope met Laura ascending the companion way from k$r cabin. He stopped at once, with his usual low bow and flourish. "Have you searched the mails?" she asked. "Yes," he answered, leaning opposite to her against a bulkhead and laughing, and adoring her. "What did you find?" ^ "Certain things proper to er "ji *a," be replied. "How can you have the heart to steal, Captain'Pope?" "Because, besides my hand. I must possess an estate to lay at your feet." This was put in a rather Irish way, and unconsciously there was a touch of the brogue in his delivery. His accent amused her and she smiled. and then looked up at Crystal, a little piece oif whom she could just catch a sight of as he sat on the edge of the skylight. "If you had been the owner of the ^nietia, I should not find you an adirocato for piracy," said Miss Laura j who semei disposed to linger, as | "Come you with me," called out Crystal to Laura, and the girl, with a single glance of entreaty and fear at Captain Pope, at once arose and went up the steps after her cousin. Pope stood for some moments lost in thought leaning with his hand upon the table. "I who murdered," ran his thought, "I who, at the risk of my life, plundered the old woman, not less in his interests than in my own. But—" he continued to muse, then, pondering deeply, he stepped into his cabin. "I hope you have not asked me to come on deck to quarrel with me," says Laura, fastening her eyes, full of spirit and temper, upon Crystal's rugged, storm-turrowed face. "I know my duty a3 your relation," he answered, "and I know-what Pope's duty is as a gentleman. I'll do mine, so help me the gods; and he'll have to do his," he answered, stepping so as to oblige her to walk with him. "But he is doing his duty as a gentleman!" exclaimed the girl, with a mounting color. "He's kind to me, and courteous. It is you who are brutal." He looked sternly at her. "If father and mother were both on board this ship, they would find nothing in the behavior of Captain Pope to object to, however much they might abominate his and your trade," In a moment Pope returned to the deck. He was smoking a cigar. He went to the wheel and looked at the brig's course. Then with his seawardly blue eyes he narrowly circled the horizon. Crystal leaned against the bulwark rail, and Laura a little at a loss took up the papers upon the skylfght, and aeemed to read their addresses. Pope called down the companion hatch, and the man who was preparing the table for that last early meal, which at sea is called supper, brought up a chair which the captain placed against the skylight in the shadow of the trysail. Miss Laura seated herself. Captain "Certain things proper to enrich us." 'though she enjoyed a conversation with the heroic Irishman, while her cousin sucked his old pipe above. "I dare not argue with you," said Pope "Your eyes drive the logic out ef my head. Miss Crystal—Miss JLaura—I^aura," he cried, with a sudden passion which anybody might see he could not control, "you will be my wife?" The piece of Crystal that was showing 1n the skylight disappeared; his newspaper fluttered and vanished like a butterfly. "It Is ridiculous!" she answered, with nothing but a faint tremble of Voice to mark loss of self-control. "We are strangers—we are scarcely known to each other." "You could not be better known to we," he exclaimed, approaching her and seising her hand, which she allowed him to retain, "had we sailed round the world together." Just as he said this Captain Crystal oame down the companion steps. "Are you coming on deck, Laura?" says ho, pausing. "Why do you object to this young lady biing in my company?" said Pope, wad he looked at Crystal with dangerous eyos. "My wish is that my cousiu should fee left along by you while she's aboard this brig," replied Crystal, in JL harsh and savage voice. Pope, without unfolding his arms, with the same dangerous expression burning in his blue eyes, oyed him •critically for a moment or two, as ftfcough hesitating to decide whether 1 * was drunk or mad. He then said, pointing with a rapid, menacing gesture to the companion hatch: *tte on deck, sir, .and look */ter the Pope pulled out a penknife, and cut open three or four newspapers, one of which he handed to the young lady, himself retaining another. "Crystal," sings out Pope on a sudden, "what d'ye say to this?" The square man came leisurely forward with his newspaper in one hand and his pipe in the other. "Here surely seems something in the shape of booty," said Pope, with a little excitement. "What's the date of this sheet?" He looked at it and read it aloud. "So! By George, Jonathan, we ought to fall in with her!" and t e read out of the body of the paper full particulars of a large West Indiaman of seven hundred tons, which was to sail from Kingston on a date that made it four or five days after that of the issue of the paper he held. She was a far richer ship than the Thetis. She was to carry twelve thousand pounds in specie; several valuable consignments were mentioned. He put down his paper, went below and returned in a few minutes with a large chart of the Atlantic. He put this chart down upon the deck close beside Laura and knelt upon it, and Crystal likewise knelt. "A week's ambling should bring us abreast," said Pope rising, and Crystal also rose, and the wiry chart coiled itself up like a thing of life. "If we can take her, she should suffice." "There will be another fight," said Laura, folding and unfolding her paper. "How dreadful! Both of you may lose your lives, and all for a little money which will not do either of you good, because it will not be honestly come by." , •• "When I get «ny fortune ashore/' says P*t% Mbtjtaf f t har, ul will have i t b j e a s ^ '**4 then the money wffl be as *\v**i *nd chaste as tnouffc earned by th^t sort of sweajt which Is as holy as p*«yer*" mUrn i U . CHAPTER XXK Yhe Slaver. The dusk glowed out of the east and overwhelmed the west; it was loaded with stars and some clouds hovered over the edge of the sea. "Crystal," said Pope, speaking as though the unpleasant passage between them that afternoon had clean gone out of his mind, Vwhat d'ye say to heaving the brhj to every nightfall for the night? She's not to give us the go-by in the dark, John." "I wouldn't heave to yet it I was you," answered Crystal, "we han't closed her by leagues." "We must fall in with her at all costs," says Pope; "for I want to see an end to this jaunt. Miss Crystal, will you permit me to conduct you to the plain supper table of a pirate?" With some ceremony he elapsed her hand. Crystal walked away to the wheel and took out the binnacle lamp to light his pipe, and replaced it, but contrived in so doing to throw the sheen of the flame over < the helmman's face. "You're one of the Thetis's men, ain't you?" said he. "Yes, sir," was the answer. "How d'ye like this life?" said Crystal. "Why, I ain't seen enough of It yet to make up my mind," replied the man. "There's a bit of the swag below a-coraing to my share, and if the skipper was to knock off now it isn't me a3 would be the first to sing out." Crystal sucked a moment or %two at his pipe in silence. "I'm beginning to think," he said, with an affected yawn, "that this life's out and away to risky for a man who values his neck and reputation. And though my friend Captain Pope makes light of the difficulty, cuss me if I can understand how we're going to dispose of the booty, and not get nabbed, every mother's son of us, and strung up." "I suppose," said the fellow at the helm, "if any of us men want to go clear of this job the capt'n would be willin' to transship us." "Ay, by sending ye adrift." "That 'ud be bleeding hard," "Said the helmsman. "No capt'n's got a right to force a man into being a pirate without his consent." "Sound some of the men forward, your own shipmates particularly,'* says Crystal, with a note of carelessness in his voice. "You needn't mention this conversation of ours. Report to me privately. If more than half the ship's company are willing to abandon the cruise, then I may Induce the captain to give it up, and make for safety while our necks are our own," Saying this he moved away, and stood beside the skylight, and, unperceived, looked down. He witnessed a love scene, and involuntarily clenched his hands. Pope had murdered a blockader, he had barbarously plundered an aunt. He had killed, robbed and scuttled, and Crystal quite understood that the handsome dog, unless he cheated the law by his own hand, or was collared by disease and walked off, must be hanged. He was enraged and mortified also by Laura's indifference to his views and wishes. She was allowing Pope to make love tjr her, and Jonathan ground his teejLh. Laura, who clearly listened with interest, often with a light of pleasure in her beautiful face, and sometimes she would flash a look at her worshiper. Doubtless she knew that her cousin was on deck, but the infrequent glance she would shoot through the akylight sank into the dusk past the face glimering to the skylight. Crystal took off his hat and wiped his biow. The meteoric dust was very plentiful over the mastheads, and the horizon opened northeast against a gentle play of violet lightning. The square man was thirsty, he was also hungry, and Grindal being too drunk to relieve him his irritability increased because he observed that the couple in the cabin made no signs of coming on deck. Quitting the skylight he walked slowly forward. The gloom was deep betwixt the rails, and-all about the neighborhood of the caboose, owing to the inky dye cast into it by the shadowing of the sails, and the dusk was 3pangled with the glowing bowls of smokers, who, finding the temperature of the 'tween-deckB oppressive, had cast themselves upon the deck and lay in groups (To Be Continued.) What They Do. "Do you think the so-called manly art, as exemplified by prize fighting, is of any real benefit?" "Certainly. Prize fights serve to stimulate " "What?" "Betting." Strictly Nautical.

As the time for the coming of the youngsters approaches, the shepherd will be making preparations, says A. D. Gamley. if the lambs r e coming in May, very little is necessary to be done, but if in March, and the sheep pen is not warm enough for newborn Iambs, then warmer quarters must be provided. My plan is to have a* shed built of poles, covered with straw and well banked with manure, into which turn the cattle, making the vacated fetalis into temporary pens by nailing a few boards across the ends. Now for the lambs. As the ewes bring them into the warm stable, where the pens have already been prepared, examine the udder, draw some milk, so that the lamb will get It more freely,' clean all the wool and filth away from around it, so that the lamb will have no trouble in getting hold of the teat If the lamb is strong, don't be In too great a hurry to get him to suck, he will soon find the teat, and the less they are handled the better. If the lamb is weak, assist it to the teat, holding it up for a few times, or until be finds his legs. If too weak to suck, draw some milk from the ewe into a warm tea cup, feeding two or three spoonfuls at a time, until strong enough to help itself. If a lamb is chilled and apparently lifeless, pour a teaspoonful of gin in a little warm water down its throat, and submerge it once, all but the head, In warm water, or put in a warm oven. The latter, the hot air cure, I think is much the surest plan. I have brought round lambs in that way that have been picked up for dead. Never give up a lamb that has been chilled and never sucked, without trying one of tho aforesaid methods for its recovery; the chances for that lamb living are a good deal better than for an ailing lamb a few days or a week old. As the lambing progresses, the shepherd will have observed that some ewes are much heavier milkers than others, and that the poor milkers very often have twins; put one of the twins on a ewe with a single lamb and a good milker. The best and easiest plan is to pick out a ewe giving indications of being a good mother, and watch for her lambing. As soon as she has lambed, and before she gets up, place the twin lamb beside the new-born lamb, and roll and rub them together, which will give the same appearance and smell to both, and when the ewe turns round to survey her progeny she will never suspect the fraud, but will commence licking both lambs. I have never seen this plan fail. If a ewe loses her lamb, make her foster a twin (aim to make every ewe raise a lamb). This requires a little patience. My plan Is to skin the dead lamb and sew the pelt on to the twin lamb, putting the dam and foster lamb in a dark pen for a few days, always keeping a sharp lookout to see if the lamb is doing all right. It is as well in their case to tie up the ewe for the first day or so. Take off the pelt in 24 or 30 hours. Effects of Feed on Teeth and Skull. Schwartzkopf, of the Minnesota Station, treating of the influence of feed upon the dentition of pigs, writes: 1. The order of succession of teeth in our precocious pigs runs the same as in the primitive hog. 2. The times when the teeth appear are variable, according to race, feeding and health. The same breeds raised under the same conditions will show the same appearance. 3. The form of the skull depends upon nutrition, health and more or lefts employment of certain muscles of the head and neck. Skulls of poorly nourished pigs are long and more slender than from those well nourished. Pigs that are prevented from rooting will acquire a short, high and rounded head, while those that are forced to root to secure a portion of their food will develop a long and slender form of head: ttWreei'til f^ Mnweorr ** •C Moro*g ! ••u MAMjS*Zt Satmer Mna»lt*r*. sleiftfte «e », bottle.

The "stone age" is fast reviving in London, though in a more" welcome torm than that of old. There is KA^ growing tendency to spend mtfney more freely on business premises, and consequently architects, ^generally speaking, are enjoying more scope In designing structures with imposing elevations. To obtain the most handsome effect white stone has become the favorite and wherever monetary considerations will permit this is almost universally ^stipulated for i i specifications. "If this liberality continues,*' saltf a prominent contractor, "London will within a comparatively short period become the finest.city in the world. Architecturally speaking. - At the present time two-thirds of the contracts in our hands specify for the use of stone frontages." ••-t A Hot Day. J. H.

At the Wisconsin State fair last week we noticed what was to most people a new feature in coops to be used in judging. These were made open on both sides. This gives the light a full passage around the birds and the judges have no trouble In seeing the specimens they are to pass upon, without removing them from the coops. The judges do' their work on the opposite side from the crowd, which is another advantage of this arrangement. Of course the birds are taken out of .the coops and handled when necessary, in any event With the old style of coops, those open on strengthens ^ and refreshes her one side, there was always a semi- Postum and she has a little oil stove twilight when the judge, clerk and l n her office and makes a cup of Posr -ners of the birds got around them, turn at noontime.

Pain Is sometimes powerless to make him confess, even at the point of death. This obstinacy Is due In part to the high idea he has of his dignity. His pride forbids him a confession, because the avowal of his lying Is infinitely Jiurniliating in his eyes. The fear of losing 'face' is all powerful in him.

He declared that his dog had intelligence of an almost human order. He said that once, when it had broken a bone in Its foot, he had taken it to a surgeon and the surgeon had set the fracture and relieved it of its pain. Some months afterward, in the middle of the night, the surgeon was awakened by a great scratching at his door and by a thumping as of some heavy body. He slipped on a dressing gown and went down, "to find the white dog in his garden with a brown dog beside it that held one leg off the ground. The surgeon's deduction was that the white dog had brought its companion there for treatment. Accordingly he dressed the leg of the injured animal, and thereupon the two dogs licked his hands with an air of gratitude and departed slowly Into the night side by side.

Wages of farm laborers have increased nearly one-third in the last decade, while the supply of farm help has diminished in about the same ratio. The farmer has been trying to tide over this pressure by working a little harder himself. The good wife and children have "helped out" In many an emergency, but the long continued •train proves to us that we cannot endure this' high pressure very much longer. A suggestion of a solution to this problem is given by Hon. F. W. Bedfern, which is worthy of consideration. He says: "The scarcity of really good men, men who understand farm operations, is coming to be severely felt Farmers are anxiously inqniring, 'What are we going to do for help on the farm?* Some one says, TJse more machinery.' Yes, but that is only a partial solution of the work - question, for men muBt be had to work the machinery. The problem of getting them still confronts UB. A solution must b5 had, however. It must come through a change In cropping, a curtailment of production or a resort to tbe Importation of labor from countries having an excess. The present demand for marketable prod' ucts precludes very much change In cropping, at least of such a character as would allow with doing away with hired help on the ordinary farm. Curtailment of production cannot be thought of, because that would bring distress. The people must be fed. The remedy would seem then to be in Importation of farm laborers. The question then is, How can this be brought about? Simply enough. A general appeal might be made by our agriculturists to the chief of the department of agriculture at Washington, asking that the United States consuls abroad be instructed to make inquiry as to the location of farm laborers who would be willing to migrate to the United States and report their findings to Washington. "An information bureau could be established and arrangements made with the authorities in Washington as to the number of laborers desired and in what localities needed. All that would be needed could no doubt be induced to come. A dearth of laborers for the mine or workshop is readily filled by Importation of miners and mechanics ftfom the overthronged districts of Europe. Why not try the experiment on our farms and thereby solve the question of farm labor?" The question now comes, Is this a matter where the national grange could urge upon congress to take some action that will allow farmers more latitude in regard to the employment of foreign laborers?—Michigan Quarterly Bulletin. ) ( ^ f w — — I ^ I W i spaas* »*^ww» WEsi may bo dot* In c*vopt?atioa * bast sbflrw* by what it being done.

More grange departments have been started by newspapers within the past six months than ever before.

This is false as we make only one grade and are willing to prove it to anyone .mifEeiently interested.

BARNARD The Jackson Association of Congregational churches and ministers held their semi-annual meeting with the Pinckney church Tuesday and Wednesday Oct. 20 and 21. The local auxilary of the Woman's Home Mission Union convened Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 with Mrs. Lowe of Jackson as President. This was an unusually, interesting, inspiring, and helpful meeting and was largely attended. In the evening at 7:30 Dr. Warren the Home Mission Supt. for Mich, addressed the convention, holding the close attention of the audience for one hour as he very aptly and earnestly set forth some vital truths regarding the church and its influence. The seryice concluded by the celebration of the Holy Communion at which Dr. Warreri and Rev. Wm. E wing officiated a large number representing different churches took the communion. The Choir of the church with pastor G. W. Mylne as organist led the musical part cf the service. Wednesday morning the sessions opened with Devotions conducted by Dr. Holmes of Chelsea after which the retiring moderator Hon. Sagendorph of Jackson announced the business session, the first matter being the election of a Moderator, Rev. Dr. Patton of Ann Arbor being appointed to that office. Considerable time was spent dincussing an amendment to the Contitution tabled by Rev. A. G. Beach of Ypsilanti at last meeting. The said amendment related to a proposed discontinuance of the semi-innual meeting. The feeling of the meeting was decidedly unfavorably to the proposition. Rev. Wm. Ewing o. Lansing addressed the meeting on uThe Problem of Education/' Dr. Warren followed with an address on "The State Work." Other matters of business were disposed of and an adjournment took place at noon. In the afternoon the meeting opened at 1:30. The devotions being conducted by Rev. Coin of Jackson. Then followed a pr.per by Rev. G. W. Mylne on "The Duties ot a Church Member to the Mid-week Service." This paper provoked a rather warm discussion, as the pastor has some very decided views about the conducting of such services and as his method has been more than successful, he was interrogated by the brethern as to the method he pursued. Rev. Dr. Holmes spoke in favor of the old time method while Deacon Colby in an able speech endorsed the pastor's plan. Dr. Patton of Ann Arbor gave an instructive address on "Combination of the Churches tor Philanthropic Work" and presented some very practical methods. Rev. A. G. Beach read a paper of much interest and merit on the topic Special Perils to the Christian Life of Today. Rev. B. Smits of Jackson made a logical and impressive plea for the American Board of Missions. An adjournment took place at 4:30 p. m. The vistors and delegates expressed their satisfaction and pleasure at the hospitable entertainment pro vided them during their visit by the people of Pinckney. Tne ministers were of the opinion that the meetings were very satisfactory botfc in attendance and interest. m m m Congregational Church. Conducted by Rev, O. W, Mylne.

Mead & Co. 1 CHAPTER XXI—Continued. ^ Crystal walked as far as the longboat, vbioh was chocked abaft the gjalley or caboose, and nearly filled die apace betwixt that sea kitchen and tfce mainhatch. Her proportions were gatherable, even by that light. Ske was a large, good boat, and the n a t a stood viewing her because he %*ftS a scheme sailing about in his strata aa a wasp hums about a room. "What's that?" suddenly yelled a man, opringiag to his feet and pointing teto a corner of the dark sea abort four points on the leo bow. ft was an effulgent scarlet cloud, with a slow motion of light in it as though It was wind-tossed. The sea swept black to that dash of glowing gold, and Crystal, after ateadfaeUy gazing, said, ''It's a cloud reflecting the light of a ship on fire." He walked to the skylight and sent hlfl votes to the couple below in a atingiag yell . that instantly started Popo oa to his legs. "A *»>• on fire on the lee bow." "I'm coming on deck," said Pope. Ana" in a few minutes ho arrived W&Ja fete telescope in ono hand and Mies Laifra'6 hand in the other. *Ay, tfcai's fire sure enough," said he. *See how it wavers. T i s a reflected light though," and ho leveled Ills glass. The leases made it clear that a vesholding it clear of the brine, was elteadily pulsing his way with a vigor oils right arm toward the brig. He easily got into the boat, alter handing his little black parcel over the gunwale. Scarce was he in, and even while the rowers were in the act of throwing their blades forward, when Pope standing up pointed to the water close alongside the boat, and his rich Irish voice rang to the brig: "See that, Mias Crystal, and call it a narrow escape." In the mystical sheen in the sea everybody could see a huge shark, one of the biggest of ita kind; the demon floated with the boat to alongside the brig, and Pope, looking over the gunwale, saw the sparkles it made as it sank. Iu a minute or two he was on deck with the little black creature in his arms. "Who will take charge of this?" said Pope, approaching Laura, as she came toward the gangway. "Give me tho child," sho exclaimed. "Is it alivo?" "It is wet," he answered, "and as slippery aa an eel." "Give it to me," she repea^d, and clasping the little black creature that was almost invisible, sho went away to the companion and descended into tho cabin. Crystal went to the side, and gazed at the sheet-lightning in tho sea, lnut- "Ay, that's fine, sure enough.n a d war burning htrtt down below the horisoB, and that some large clouds K f g*Tf! over the sea just there were •ronaeel by the flames. Another half hour passed; it was h a r i upon half an hoar after nine. The vaasei orer the bows was still burniag furiously; she was then perhaps a Mile distant "We can do no good," says Pope. "Shift the helm for our course, Mr. Crystal, and brace to it." '%et as draw a little closer," exclaimed I Aura, "it is a marvelous sight." All on a sudden a loud shout was raised by several voices forward. **Look out for what's coming along." "*• Jesus help me, if it ain't a woman swimming!" **What's that she's got a-holding in her h a a d T "Oh!* shrieked Laura, "it la a black woaaa* and she is holding up ner baby to as. Oh, save her! Oh, save h e r T The pn06i*hor sheotod so plentifully that yon could see the black swim- B(ng woman as distinctly as you aright see the outline of your own hand upon the flames of spirits of wine. She hold a little black baby above its anrj^its over the water's edge, and with the other hand she was very feebly swimming. T h e , mute appeal she made by holding up h e r child was heartrending. One thought one saw the whites of her •yea as she slowly slided past. *By Qod, I cannot bear that sight!" ahonted Pope. "Down helm, Crystal, amd pick me up." Just as he pronounced those v/ords the nogresa sank, but the mother's lore ©poke even In her last agony; for sinking, she yet contrived to leave the baby floating on Its back, and there It lay, perhaps dead, certainly clearly limned on the of tho brig's wake. l a a few heart-beats Popo had fhrova off his hat, coat, and had-pulleft off hti bpota. Then In a spring or €a*e gaining the taffrail, he put his hands teg&her, and dived—from no groat height—into the phosphoric whtrl about the counter. Qrratal ahonted to some men to lower away the starboard quartsraad nick up the captain. Before tihe boat had* touched the water, Pope: had aeiced'ttae child, an'd tering to himself with many bad words. CHAPTER XXII. Pope's Death. After breakfast the captain conducted Laura on deck, placed a chair tor her in the shadow of the trysail, and put a few newspapers on the plank beside her. It was Crystal's watch below; and when the square man had finished his meal, hr> entered the berth to lie down and sleep. "You have been so very kind to me, Captain Pope," said Laura, somewhat nervously, turning an unopened paper in her lap round and rouad, "that I should hate myself for asking you any quesuou which might convey an idea of ingratitude." "Do not talk so formally!" exclaimed Pope. ' I love you; r.peak to me, dearest, as though you loved me in return." She blushed and answered, "I have a father and mother. I have friends awaiting my arrival in England. It must sooner or later reach their ears that the Thetis was plundered and sunk by pirates, who carried me away in their ship. Will it be long before I am able to communicate with them, to let them know that I am safe?" "Grant me time to fall in with the Alnwick Castle, answered Pope. "You know that you're to bo ray wife?" "Oh, Captain Popa," she cried, with a sidelong look at the helmsman, who with Grindal just abaft him, was not standing very far off, "you will first let me go home? "My dear girl—" He broke off. He did not like so to represent himself as to make her consider that if she went home she would never see him more, because he was now going through life with a halter round hia neck, and not even a love affair could court him into exposing himself in places where any hand might seize the trailing end of the rope and deliver it to John Ketch. He broke off with a slle.. . flush that heightened his manly beauty, and said, bending low to her; "Grant me time, my dearest girl. I love you with all tits strength of my heart." he wont on, in a low, soft voice, full of sweetioss, "and If you do not love me with the same ardor. \t is; becauae you haya not.yet hjtf ttme to perceive - under-the boaH of a j : ale, the nature and the char, acter of a seaman and a gentleman.'* Pope walked aft to Grindal, and-the girl, hurriedly opened a newspaper, held It wide to conceal her burning cheekB. '•"Grindal,'' 8ayn Pope, "go atitt; tell, Bobbin, to lay aft and keep a lookout, and cpnio you into my cabin, | b r I want to have a few words with you." He then went below, and sat at tho table in his cabin, and sank his head upon.his hand and mused. Around him lay the spoils of the cruise so far aa it had gone. Plenty of money #as represented by .the booty, but it was plenty for one or two only; when it came to dividing it into five-andtwenty or thirty portions, the worth of the plunder, per man, sank into Insignificance. Grindal knocked upon his door with a fist like a calking mallet. Pope bade him cuter, and the boatswain stepped in. "Sit you down," says Pope, "you ire an old hand, and an honest man, md I want to have some talk with you." The boatswain seated himself upon i locker, and rested his elbow upon 3. case of guineas. Pope threw a cigar across to him. "I am going to take you into ray confidence, Grindal," said the captain. 'I am a little afraid that Mr. Crystal is no longer to be depended upon. Ke is troubled by hrs cousin, by the lady, being in this ship. I don't say his desire is to breed a mutiny, yet I allow his wish is to end this cruise soon, and go ashore in safety with his cousin." 'I've heard nothing of this," answered the boatswain, hoarsely. "All the plunder we've got so far," ^aid Pope, "is here. Cast your eyes over it, and you'll find it don't work out in value per head as it should." The boatswain ran a blood-shot eye over several parcels. "Nov.'," continued Pope, speaking softly, "if Mr. Crystal's net satisfied, he's not of us, nor with us in spirit, and the sooner he goes the better." "That's right enough!" said the boatswain. "There's some of the crew," Popo went on, "as we could manage to do vlthout. Not just yot—not until we fall In with that Indiaman we're on the lookout fc.r. Did you ever go aslaving?" "I've served in two slavers." answered Grindal. "There's more money to be made out of slaving than out of pirating." "That's it!" exclaimed Pope, leaning forward, and with gre'At animation striking the table with his fist, "listen now to me! My idea is to seize the Alnwick Castle, if we can meet with her; send her people adrift, and put Mr. Crystp' aboard along with as many more as ycu and I may agree upon." "There's them men of the Thetis." said Grindal. "We'll call ' e n flvo. .Mr. Crystal is six. Now another seven or oir<ht will reduce us to tho number we want." "Yes, I knew you would grasp my if'ea. With this twlsve of a crew we go away for a port round the Horn, where we'll dispose of the booty, and where I mean to got married, and where I mean to settle my wife In a little home, till I've completed the fortune I must P03SC3S in order to live like a gantteman without anxiety. •\fter a spell of rest we will lay in a cargo for the n i ^ c r market, and I tell yon what, Grindal, if—but I've no doubt of it—if I find ye a thoroughly sound, honest, trustworthy man, then> if my first slivln? voyage pays me, I'll return to my wife and surrender the charge of this brig to you for another slaving jaunt, and half the money you earn shall be yours, and I'll make you a present of the brig when I have got what I need out of her. How d'ye like it?" "Oh," answers Grindal, whose smile was deep and increasing while Pope talked, "it ain't often such an opportunity fills in the way of the like of me. I'm yer man, sir, to the heart of me/' he added, with a great oath. At nine o'clock Pope brought Laura up on deck to take the air with her. "I wish," said Pope, "that I could cut a more heroic figure in your eyes in this adventuro. I do not like that your pure lovely heart should associate me with so degrading an idea as plunder. God knows that I would restore every penny I have taken, and intend to take, if I knew how to come by a like sum honestly." "How," continued he, "am I to main* tain you as the lady you were born to be?" "Oh, Captain Pope, you must not talk of maintaining me," and her voice sounded as though she was coloring vehemently, and as though her breathing were a little oppressed. "You have promised to be my wife, Laura," said he. "No, I have not promissd you thai, not yet. I must get home first, I must Introduce you to my father and mother," she faltered. (To Be Continued.) BEAK. J. W. Walls, Superintendent of Streets of Lebanon, Ky., living on East Main street, in that city, says: "With my nightly rest broken, owing to irregularities of the kidneys, suffering Intensely from severe pains In the small of my back and through the kidneys, and annoyed by painful passages cf abnormal secretions, life was anything but pleasant for me. No amount of doctoring relieved this condition, and for the reason ti.at nothing seemed to give me even temporary relief 1 became about discouraged. One day I toticed in the newspapers the case of a man who was afflicted as I was and was cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. His words of praise for this remedy were so sincere that on the strength of his statement I went to the Hugh Murrey Drug Co.'s store and got a box. I found that the medicine was exactly as powerful a kidney remedy cs represented. I experienced quick and lasting relief. Doan's Kidney Pills will prove a blessing to all sufferers from kidney disorders who will give them a fair trial."

It is inactive so long as exposed to the air, but when carried beneath the skin as in the wounds caused by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and when the air is excluded the germ is roused to activity and produces the most virulent poison known. These germs may be destroyed and all danger of lockjaw avoided by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is received.

The plan is worked*already in some villages and has proved very enjoyable timts.

[Special Correspondence] Since years of experience have developed the real home work of the grange the up to date grange hall must conform to the demands of such progress. For years It has been conceded to be of benefit if the subordinate grange had In its own name and control a place called "home." Because of the grange confining Its membership to those chiefly interested in agricultural pursuits this home naturally locates Itself out In the eountry. That It may represent the grange to the passerby the surrounding grounds should be ample tor sheds, for horses, with a good variety of trees and a lawn to accommodate gatherings of people as occasion may require. The entire outside premises should be kept In an inviting condition. As to the grange hall itself, the outside design should be In harmony with the uses for which It is built, and this suggests a harmonising of both church and schoolhouse architecture. To meet ill requirements the building should be it least 24 by 60 feet on the ground, •Tith eighteen foot posts on the sides. This will permit the lower part of the building to be eight feet from floor to retting and leave nine foot sides for the upper ropm, which, with an arched jelling from a system of collar joists, tvlll give a good effect. The lower part >f the hall should be divided to accommodate hallway, entrance, kitchen, itairway arfd a large assembly room, rvhieh Is also suitable for a banquet nail, and, Inasmuch as children under fourteen years of age must now be provided for, thrs room becomes a very proper place for them, and during the tecturer's hour they can sit with their parents In the grange. This large room t>ek>w, being warm and light, is very eonvenlent "for all members In which to hang their wraps on hook rails iround the outer walls. Still further, this large lower room can be used for til common entertainments, and espeslally is it suitable for this when it has i platform or stage at one end, with rultable scenery. The upper story of the building ihould be divided into stair landing, anteroom, property closet, a nursery end the grange hall proper. While the lower rooms should have naked floors, the stairway and all floors above ihould be carpeted and the grange hall ihould have tinished and decorated cvalls and be us well furnished as the Bitting room of a well to do farmer's^ home. Annexes for libraries and court icenes should also be provided. Such a grange building will cost about $1,000 to $1,200. A grange cootempiating the building of a hall or home of this kind can start with the following subscription list: "We, the undersigned members of grange, agree to give the amounts of hand labor, team labor, material and money set opposite our respective names for the purpose of building a grange hall at such place lnd time and In accordance with such plans as the grange may specify." Such a subscription will give a start which, hi the hands of a good building committee, can be made to go a long way toward securing the desired object. It is generally necessary to lend a few hundred dollars to finish and furnish, all of which can be paid off with suppers and entertainments of various kinds. It will be noted that in planning the rooms the children and babes are provided for. This is to encourage the mothers te go to the grange. The children, woven into the lecturer's hour programme, make the Meal entertainment. Where the children are thus well cared for the parents will become Interested. GEORGE B.

Then he leaves them to fight it out among themselves." "Well," remarked "Uncle Joe," with a grim smile, "I wouldn't be excessively anxious en his account. Lot him alone. It lcoks as if he might have the making of a statesman in him some day." In Praise of the Apple. Tho apple is the most democratic of all fruits. The pomegranate is priestly; the grape is royal; the orange fa luxurious; the pe^ch and pear are plutocratic, but the apple belongs to the populace. It is symbolic of the country store and the corner grocery. It breathes the fro? spirit of the American township and village. It has a flavor of old New England and yet a pungency as of thf» South and the middle West. It is mild, palatable, nourishing and promotive of good fellowship and long life.—Atlanta Journal BUSY DOCTOR Sometime* Overlook* a Point The physician is such a busy man that he sometimes overlooks a valuable point to which his attention may be called by an Intelligent patient who U a thinker. "About a year ago my attention was called to Grape-Nuts by one of my patients," says a physician of Cincinnati. "At the time my own health was bad and I was pretty well rundown but I saw in a minute that the theories behind Grape-Nuts were perfect and if the food was all that was claimed for it it was a perfect food so I commenced to use Grape-Nuts with warm milk twir<* a day and in a •hort time began to improve in every way, and npw I am much stronger, feel 50% better and weigh mors than I ever did In my life. "I know that all of this good Is due to Grape-Nuts and I *m firmly conrinced that the claims made for the food are true. I have recommended and still recommend the food to a great many of m> patients with splendid results, and in some cases the improvement of patients on thi3 fine food has been wonderful.

Swans Are Ugly Fighters. Rather a funny ceremony that is gone through with every year has just been accomplished, and that is the marking of the young swans, or cygnets, on the upper Thames. Its swans are of course a feature of the river after Richmond is passed. Some of them are owned by the crown, and the rest by two of the ancient river "companies," and it is in order to distinguish them that the cygnets are marked. The swan markers are a picturesque company. They wear white flannels, and can be told apart by their different colored jerseys. Those of the king's men are scarlet, those* of the Dyers' company navy blue, and those of the Vintners' company blue and white. The markers embark in half a dozen skiffs, at the stern of which flies either the king's flag—a white field, with a crown and the royal cipher. "E. R."— or one of the bannerettes of the two companies. The party sets out from Molesey lock, and after that things are pretty lively, for the operation of marking swans, even young swans, is no holiday pastime. The birds fight like furies. They are surprisingly strong. too, and every once in a while one of the markers ha?? an arm or leg broken by a vicious blow from a cygnet's wing. The birds are caught by means of a hook on the end of a long pole, and they are branded on the beak—cither with the royal monogram or that of one of the companies. Usually the man who uoes the branding deprives the swan marked by him of one of its feathers, which he sticks in his cap as a trophy. The number of cygnets is smaller than usual this year, on account of the bad weather and floods which have prevailed along the river. Thames swans have a reputation for viciousness, and folk who have seen what they can do with their wings and beaks make it a point to give them a wide berth.—Philadelphia Ledger. Farmer and AutomoliilUt Join Hands* A 1'iv.v weeks ago a Maryland farmer found an automobile safely anchored iu a mud hole o:i a country road about twenty miles from the city home of the owner. The nutomobolist was vigorously swearing at the mud, the farmers and the rural districts iu. general. After cooling down somewhat, lie struck u bargain with the fanner to extricate his machine and haul it to the nearest possible road for §^.50. Y\hcn the job was finished both were in a comparatively good humor. The nutomobilist lit a fresh ten-cent cigar and presented the fanner one, and the following dialogue ensued: "Why don't you fanners improve these roads'/" "Well, we do work 'em every year, but they don't sreem to get any better." "P.ut why don't you build lirst-class roads and be done with it?" "Say, mister, you must think we're rifh out here in the backwoods. How mueb, do you reckon it would cost? Not less than two or three thousand dollars a mile I guess. That would break us up. We're taxed as much as wo can stand. If you city folks want to go touring over these roads, 1 guess you'll have to get used to the umd, s:uu2 as we have." After the two had smoked in silence for half a minute the farmer cleared his throat and ventured to ask: "Say, why don't you rich city fellows give us a lift and help us improve these roads? I've been reading some lately about State aid and government aid for the farmers in ouilding good roads. Why don't you go in for these things? Wouldn't it be a benefit to the whole community? Besides, haven't us farmers been voting for farifTs to build up industries in the cities for n good many years? Isn't it about time the vural districts enjoyed a littlo of the fostering care of the government':" 'Well," replied the nutomobilist, who happened to be a millionaire manufacturer, "I don't know but you are right. I hadn't thought of it in that light." After some further discussion along this line the two separated, each with new ideas. The farmer had grasped the idea that the automobile, which ho had always viewed with mingled feelings of scorn and amusement, might after all turn out to be a great friend of his; might in fact bo the means of inducing the rich men of the cities to help the farmers build good conn ivy roads.

Tie realised ns riever: before ! that no general Improvement -of the j country roads could be hoped for so I long as the farmers were left to work I out the problem .unaided. Xn fact he j f:aw the injustice of expecting them to ! shoulder the whole burden. As a result of this incident both ihe farmer and the automobolist are now conducing a little campaign «n:ong their neighbors in favor of State and National aid to road building. —Uood Roads .Magazine. 'How to Get Good Roads, One great reason for the prevalence of bad roads throughout the United States is lack of agreement and united action among the advocates of improvement. Everybodj* prefers good roads to bad. Everybody knows that the roads can be improved only by the expenditure of money and labor. Hut here the agreement ends. There is a great variety of ideas and schemes for se^urrig the desired object. There is uo end of discussion, but little is accomplished. Home people would rather travel through mud than to have the roads improved by any other plan*than their own "pet scheme." Thus road reformers themselves sometimes actually hinder the cause to which they are devoted. If the roads of the country are to be made good within the lifetime of the present generation it is high time the advocates of good roads united in support of a few general propositions, and went to work in favor of a general plan. If a National good roads movement ever gets started, nothing can stop It. It will sweep everything before it. But the difficulty is to get it started. One groat advantage possessed by the National aid plau. which is nov/ becoming so popular, is that it is general, instead of sectional or local. It is as broad as the whole country. It can bring into harmonious, nnited action the friends of good roads in every State, and it is the only plan yet proposed that can do this. The friends of National aid will make a mistake if they undertake to work out details' in advance. Th r*y will disagree among themselves and give objections every advantage. They should f^o to work for the gtneral principle and leave details to be worked cut after. This was th"> plan of action adopted by Gladstone. When bis opponents asked for details of any great reform which he advocated Gladstone would answer. "There will he tlmo enough to work out the details when we get the power." The advocates of National aid will do well to emulate the example of this great English statesman. They should organize everywhere and fight for ihe principle. leaving details to be worked out in due time. **No one should ever jud^e tiiat man &y the company he keeps." " W h y ?

The polar bear Is the only one that takes to the sea, and is quit3 jolly when aboard ahip. All others violently resent a trip on water, and vociferously give vent to their feelings until sea-sickness brings silence. The tiger suffers most of all. The mere sight of a ship makes him uncomfortable, and when on board he whines pitifully, his eyes water continually, and he ruM his stomach with his terrible paws.

The Promotion of the Admiral. Mr/Smith, who ran a sailors' boardlog< iiouso in that part of San Francis- 00 luvown as tbe Barbary Coast, was •bepjutely sui generis, If any drunken fscallawag of a scholar, who had drifted, ashore on his boarding-house mug-flats, had ventured In a moment cat alcoholic reminiscence to say BO in the oIass!c tongue, Shanghai Smith would.Jia.ve "laid him out cold" with aa/taung handy, from a stone-ware ma^ch-box to an empty bottle. But if that eftmo son of culture had used his mother tongue, as altered for pouular use in the West* and had murmured: "Joruaaiqsi, but Mr. Smith's the daisy Of alii" Smith would have thrown out hia chest and blown through his teeth a windy oath aud guessed he was just so. "Sar it and mean it, that's me," said Smith, "I'm all right. But call me bog and I am hog; don't you forget itr Appareatly all the world called him 'Hiog.*' For that he was no better than One, whether ho walked, or ate, or drank, or slept, wa^ obvious to any sailor with an opun eye. But he was hard and rough and tough, and bad the bull-headed courage of a mad steer combined with, the wicked cunning of a mdnkey. "Don't never play upon me," he said ofjen. "For 'get even' Is my motter. There aint many walkin' this earth that can say they bested me, not from the time I left Bristol in the old dart till now, when I'm known the wide world over." So tar as ships and sailormen were ^onceruod be certainly spoke the tragi. He was talked of with curses in tjbe Paciflo from the Prybiloffs to the Horn, from San Francisco to Zanzibar. It was long odds at any given time In any longitude that some seaman was engaged in blaspheming Shanghai Smith for sending him on board drunk and without a chest, and with nothing better to propitiate his new shipmates with than a bottle of vinotar and water that looked like rum tni it was tasted. Every breeze that blew, irado wind or monsoon, had heard of his iniquities. He got the best of everyone. "Ail but one," said Smith in a moment of weakness, when a dozen men, who owed so much, money that they oracled to him as a Chinaman does to a Joss, were hanging upon his lips —"all but one." "Oh, we don't take that in," said one of the most indebted; "we can 'ardly believe that, Mr. Smith." Sometimes this unsubtle flattery would have ended in the flatterer being thrown out. But Smith was now geriUy reminiscent. "Tes, I was done brown and never got the best of one swine," said the boarding-house keeper. "I don't ask you to believe it for I own it don't •sound likely, me being what I am. But there was one swab as give me a He looked them over malignantly. bidin', and he give it me good, so he did." Ho looked them over malignantly. "I kin lick any of you here with one hand*" he swore, "but the man as hosted me could have taken on three of you with both hands. And I own T wad took aback considerable when I \ run against him on the pier at SandrHffce whets I was in .Australia fifteen yefirr a«DY He we* a naval officer, CgptjUn of the Warrior, and dressed *Xte1dB, though he had a face like a figure-bead cut out of mahog'ny with a broad-ex). And I was feelin' good and in need of a Bcrap. So when he bumped agin me, I shoved him over —prompt, I shoved him. Down he went, and the girls that knowed me laughed. And two policemen came along quick. I didn't care much, but this naval josser picks himself up and goes to 'em. Would you believe it, but when he'd spoke a bit t seed him donate them about a dollar each and they walked off round a heap of dunnage on the wharf and the captain buttoned up hia coat and came for me. I never seen the likes of it He comes up dancin' aud smilin', and he kind of give me half a bow, polite as you like, and inside of ten seconds I knew I'd struck a cyclone, right in the spot where they breed. I fought good— you know me—and I got in half a dozen on his face. But I never fazed him none, and he wouldn't bruise mor'n hittin' a boiler. And every time he got back on me I felt as if I'd been kicked. He scarred me something cruel. I could see it by the blood on his hands. Twarn't his, by a long sight, for his fists was made of teak, I should say. And in the end, when I seemed to see a ship's company of naval officers around me, one of them hit me under the ear and lifted me up. And another hit me whilst I was in the air, and a third landed me as I fell. And that was the end of it, so fax's I remember. When I came to, which was next day in a kind of sailors' hospital, I reached up for a card over my head, and I read 'concussion of the brain' on it. What's more, I believed it. If the card had let on that I'd been run over by a traction engine and picked up dead, I'd have believed it. And when I reely came to my senses, a med'eal student says as Captain Richard Dunn of the Warrior had bin to inquire when the funeral was, so's he could send a wreath. They said he was the topside fighter in the hull British Navy. And I'm here to say he was." "And you never got even?" asked the bartender, seeing that no one took up the challenge. "Never set eyes on him from that day to this," said hia boss regretfully. "And if you did?" Smith paused, took a drink. "So help me, I'd Shanghai him if he was King pf England!" And one of the crowd, who had put down the San Francisco Chronicle in order to hear this yarn, picked It up again. "S'elp me," he said, in a breathless excitement, " 'ore's a bally coincidence. 'Ero's a telegram from 'Squlmault, saying as how the flagship Triumphant, Hadmlral Sir Richard Dunn, K.C.B., is comln' down to San Francisco!" "Holy Moses, let's look!" said Shanghai Smith. He read, and a heavenly smile overspread his hard countenance. He almost looked good, such joy was his. "Tom," he said to the bartender, "set up the drinks for the crowd. This is my man, for sure. And him an admiral too! Holy sailor, ain't this luck?" He went out into the street and walked to and fro rubbing his hands, while the men Inside took their drink, and looked through the uncleaned windows at the boss. "Holy Mackinaw." said Billy, who had drifted West from Michigan, "I reckon never to hey seen Mr. Smith so pleased since he shipped a crowd in the Harvester, and got 'em away that night and shipped 'em in the Silas J. Jones." "He's struck a streak o' luck in his mind," said one of the seamen; "and it's this 'ere hadmiral. Now, mark me, mates, I wouldn't be that 'ere hadmiral for the worth of California. Mr. Sir Blooming Hadmiral, K.C.B., et setterer, Is going to 'ave a time." He shook his head over the melancholy fate of a British admiral. "Rot!" said one of the younger men; '"tain't possible to do nothin' to the likes of an admiral. Now, if 'twas a lieutenant or oven * a captain, I'm not sayin' as Mr. 8mith mightn't do somethin'. Put an admiral " "You mark me," said the older man, "I'd rather be as green as grass and ship as an able-bodied seaman with Billy Yates of the Wanderer, than be in that hadmiral's shoes. What do you say. Tom?" Tom filled himself up a drink and considered. "Wa'al," he answered after a long pause, it's my belief that it won't necessary be all pie to be an admiral if the boss is half the man he used to be. For you see 'tis quite evident he has a special kind of respect for this admiral, and when Mr. Smith has been done by anyone that he respects, he don't ever forget. Why, you know yourselves thai if one of you was to do him, he'd forgive you right off after he'd kicked the stuffing out of you." This clear proof that Mr. Smith did not respect them and was kind was received, without» mwmiUi *atf m I the boaa did uot return, *h* tide Q* conversation driftod in th*» narrower, more peraonai^hajineia of the marvela. that h*d h^npeae^ if the "lajt ahin," AMin %jneaniImftKJi A Triumphant* known familiarly on the Pacific, {feast station as "the Nonsuch, two decks and no bottom/' was bringing Rear-Admlral Sir Richard Djunn, K.C.B.J to hia fate in San Francisco. "Waa there ever such luck—was there ever such luck?" murmured Mr. Shanghai Smith. "To think of him turnin1 up, all of hia own accord-, on my partlc'lar stampin' ground! And I'll lay odda he'B clean forgot me:* 111 brighten up his memory with sand, and canvas and aouji-moujl, so I will! Holy sailor, was there ever such luck?" The morning of the following day H.M.S. Triumphant lay at her anchors off Saucelito in San Francisco Bay. and was glad to be there. But though she was a wet ship with a playful habit of trying to aooop the Paclfio Ocean dry, and though her tricks would have broken the heart of the Chief Naval Constructor had he seen her at them, she was the flagship in spite of her conduct, because at that time she was the whole Pacific Squadron. The wm^m **n*p-m "Sir, It's the penitentiary I" other half was lying outside Esqulmault Dry Dock waiting for it to be finished. And when the Chronicle said that "Dicky Dunn" was the admiral, It had not lied. If any of that paper's reporters had known "Dicky" as his men knew him, he would have spread himself in a column on the admiral's character and personal appearance. "He's the dead-spit of a boson's mate, to be sure," said the crew cf the Triumphant when they received him at Esquimault "An 'ard nut he looks!" And a "hard nut" he certainly was. Though he stood five feet nine in height, he looked two inches less, for he was as broad as a door and as sturdy as fore-bltts. Hia complexion was the color of the sun when it aets in a fog for fine weather; the skin on his hands shone and was as scaly as a lizard's hide. His teeth were white and his eyes piercing. He could roar like a fog-horn, and sing, as the crew said, "like any angel." There wasn't the match of "Dicky" on any of the seas the wide world over. The only trouble was that he looked so much like the traditional sailor and buccaneer that no one could believe he was anything higher than a warrant officer at the most when he had none of his official gear about him. •Though the admiral did not know it, one of the very first to greet him when he set his foot on dry land at the bottom of Market Street was the man he had licked so thoroughly fifteen years before in Melbourne. "Oh, it's the same," said Smith to his chief runner, who was about the "hardest case" in California, "He ain't changed none. Just so old he was when he set about me. Why, the galoot might be immortal. Mark him, now; will you know him anywhere?" "It don't pay me ever to forget," replied the runner. He had to remember the men who owned him grudges. "Then don't forget this one," said Smith. "Do you find me a considerate boss?" "Oh, well " said the runner ungraciously. "You've got to do a Job for. me, Billy." "And what?" "I'm goln' to have this hyer admiral shipped before the stick on the toughest ship that's about ready to go to sea," replied Smith. Billy flinched. "Sir, It's the penitentiary!" (To be continued.) Decidedly Otherwise. The two young persons had consented for a consideration to stand on an elevated platform In the open air and be married in the presence of the immense crowd at a street fair. After the ceremony was over their friends surrounded them. "Wasn't it dreadfully embarrassing?" they were asked. „. "Embarrasslngf* echoed the bridegroom, with » broad grin. "I ahould say not. It relieved the embarrassment We'd have been married a month ago if I'd had money enough to fAy ft preacher." •/ _ m Horses In Winter. Stephen W. Benson says: Horses are very much like men; give them useful employment the year round and they are all the better tor It I find on close observation that the horses we work through the winter are the horses that can stand tbe rough usage of summer the best Hence, we give our horses all the employment we can, taking care not to lower their condition in flesh, but rather to increase their flesh ready for the summer's work. This leaves their muscles, shoulders and constitution generally in much better state than if they were Idle. Naturally they are looked after better as they are under the eye of the man more and much less liable to accidents than horses running idle. Employment we find for them in different ways, such as drawing wood, taking manure to the field, moving feed stuff or any* thing that we can find to do that will give us profit enough for a man's w.ages and board, and as for the little extra feed they take I feel satisfied we can charge that to profit in the extra work they can do through the summer. The principal feed we use for our work horses is timothy hay, oat sheaves and oat straw. In the morning we generally give them a good forkful of oat straw with a little hay on top, by way of a relish. At noon we give a feed of hay and in the evening another forkful of straw with a little hay, and at their last feed for the night we clean out of their mangers any refuse Btraw which goes for bedding, and give them an oat sheaf. As for the wild hay I do not like it, and I would rather trust to the oat straw for the wintering of horses. I think there is more strength in the wild hay, and the horses will stand more work on It. but I don't think it is as healthy as the oat straw. Our grain feed consists principally of crushed oats and bran. I am a firm believer in variety of feed, especially for a horse not working hard, as one food help** to digest the other. At night about four times a week we give them a feed of boiled barley. Scalded chop I think quite as good, but we generally boil it. We give very much the same feed to the horses we cannot work as to those we do, with the exception that at noon they do not get hay and oats. We have a big stack of wheat straw in the yard and turn them out about ten o'clock, letting them feed at it until evening. We always keep a trough in the yard with salt In it, BO that they can have lots of it We fln<* it a good thing. I think many horses go wrong when fed straw for lack of salt Some object to horses running out loose when there are a number of them together, for fear of them getting kicked, but I prefer running chances of their getting a stray kick rather than to allow them to stand in the stable breeding trouble in the shape of indigestion, bad blood, distemper and swelled legs. Horse Speed and Mechanics. In a long and interesting effort to produce the very best trotters Americans have become the most skillful developers of the speed of harness horses the world has known, and as drivers they are unequaled, says John G. Speed in the Century. This skill has been assisted by the ingenious inventors who have contrived wagons BO light and frictionless that the weight a trotter now carries is not more than sufficient to keep him steady, and is virtually no handicap at au. Take two. horses of equal speed and harness, and shoe and harness one as the horses of 1S50 were harnessed and shod and the other as those of this year are turned out, and the horse in the older rigging would be distanced, while the winner would scarcely have to extend himself. The fast time in the present records owes much to mechanical improve ments, and much more to more skillful development and driving than to better breeding, though I do not pre tend to deny that certain individual horses have recently gone faster than any of the old-timers would have gone, let the conditions have been what they might But the Morgans, the Clays and the Gold usta were reproducing types, which the standard-bred trotters are not That they were types was because they were rich in that primitive eastern blood without which no great type has ever been created or maintained. Scientists are of the opinion that the C .shea of ligtit omitted by fireflies are the signals 7>y which they communicate with efech other.

J. Thompson, a popular local school teacher, for Diabetetj. They told him that but little could he done to help him. He made up hat mind to try a new remedy celled Dodd*s Kidney Pille, and saye; "They saved me when the doctor* held out no hope. I took In all about ten boxes. I wUl always praise Dodd's Kidney Pills for the great good they have done for me." Many people, and some physicians, still persist in the belief that Diabetes is an incurable disease.

One dated at Detroit ran. as follows; "How 1 wish we could get married at one*. If I thought anything could looms up Jbetween us I would not wiilt i« moment, but nothing can, for I love {you uor« every day, 1 look forward fondly to the day when w e shall have a little betas of our own." • few- days later, this csme from . New York: "Be happy, darling, remember that wherever I am, I am thinking of you. We will have to wait now, but the happy day Is not far distant. You know w t shall never stay away from each other any longer than sad necessity compels us to. Be happy, we will meet soon." Laying this down, Mr. Uinkley picked up the last of the document* before him and, after a solemn pause, during which the attention of judge, Jury and audience were attracted to bis grave, pallfd, almost haggard facts he read these formal words; "Mr. Enoch Boone anuounces the marriage of bis daughter, Elisabeth. to Robert Stuart Baker, Saturday, January^ lO, » 0 3 , Grand Rapids, Mich." The plaintiff sobbed aloud; this was the first intimation she had received that Baker was to wed another. The jurors showed that they were affected by the climax, and a murmur of sympathy came from the crowd. Looks filled with displeasure were turned to the spot Baker usually oc<*upled, but he had vanished. Notwithstanding the notoriety gained by Robert Stuart Baker in the unpleasant • breach of promise suit, both he and his wife are being right royally entertained afanost: nightly in the most exclusive and fashionable homes la Grand Rapids. T h e I'helpa F a i l u r e . Nell fi. Phelps, of Battle Creek, accredited a pure food millionaire, was confronted in bis own sanitorium Wednesday by a crowd of Impatient creditors who had assembled in response to his own call for a conference. Two years ago, Mr. Phelps, conservative bankers say, could have been worth $2,000,000 If he had let well enough alone, but, he was not satisfied to do this, and now he finds himself so involved that the wildest rumors concerning his.financial condition are current. Mr. Phelps was asked how much money he had. He answered that hJs assets—all that had any value at all to him—consisted of $51,000 worth of Ellis Publishing Co. stock and $800,00.1 worth of Malta Vita stock. Asked what the latter was worth In his estimation he frankly confessed that the stock had no market value, as no one wanted It. The depreciation and non-dividend paying feature he credited to bad management and tight money. Asked what his liabilities were, he informed the meeting that he owed $285,000, and that 47 of his creditors were those who held as collateral securing his notes stock m the Phelps Medical and Surgical Sanitorium built here three years ago to compete with the gigantic Adventlst institution at the other side of the street Gave MIM The famous Grand Rapids breach of promise case was given to the jury Thursday and in a sealed verdict they awarded her $30,000. The instructions of the judge to the jury unequivocally directed the return of a verdict fov Miss Adams. There was, he said, a marriage contract proven, which had been broken off by Mr. Baker without any legal cause. The amount of damages to be awarded to the plaintiff was a matter for the Jury to deHdc for itself. The judge further added that the jury was to fix upon the amount of the verdict without reference to the question of whether the defendant would be able to pay i t The figure should be based exclusively upon the extent of the damages sustained by the plaintiff. The Jury agreed upon Its finding within half an hour after it had retired. Harder in Lawrence. Arba Martin, a fruit grower, 30 years old, was murdered in the main street of Lawn ice, Saturday night, being kflled by a shot fired from a rifle in the hands of Harry Fairbanks. The ball pierced the heart of Martin, causing instant death. Martin and Fairbanks had never quarreled until this time, when the two men met and engaged in a heated discussion over some trifling matter. Fairbanks became enraged, it is said, and throwing a rifle which he carried to his shoulder, deliberately fired at Martin. Fairbanks at the time was accompanied by Jay Smith, his stepfather. Both were immediately placed under arrest and taken to jail. Florence Una a Tragedy. Three Rivers was greatly excited Oaturday over a tragedy at Florence, 4 miles sooth, that occurred Saturday evening. Clyde Lamb, after taking in all the saloons, hired a livery rig and drove to his mother-in-law's home in Florence. When he arrived there he called his wife outside and deliberately blew the top of her head off with a 44-calIber revolver. The sight of blood crazed him, and he then started to see who else he could shoot. His mother-in-law, who heard the report of the revolver, rushed out of the house to see what was the matter and Before she could really comprehend the terrible affair was herself shot. After committing the bloody deed Lamb drove away In a mad rage, making all kinds of threats and also saying when found he would be dead. Lamb had trouble with his wife, who was suing him for divorce.

Plangman (of Sherman, T e x . ) says of, Dean's Kidney Pills. He tells his experience in the following words: He Bays, "8ometime in September I was taken with a dull aching pain across the small of my back, directly over the kidneys. I paid small attention to this at first, thinking It would pass off. But instead of getting better It became worse and in a short time the pain centered through my left hip and Da/n acws^rT^^ lfl€ $17131(01 This is precisely what kidney trouble will do with the body. It does not always show itself at first, but appears just in this way, when some unusual movement or action brings I LrtilL^ MUllMf flharP pains and \ RIIUVMIV v\\wW, exhaustive aches, Ditm itx x w\\\ t e l U n g r o f B i c k k l d . neys. So Mr. Plangtnan's experience bore this out Continuing, he says: "I did not know the cause of the trouble, but I am led to believe now that It was first brought about by jumping in and out of the wagon and in some way I may have strained my back. "I was constantly growing worse," he continues, "and I became very much alarmed about my condition. I knew that something had to bo done or serious results wore sure to follow. I went to a specialist here in Sherman, and underwent a rigid examination." Then he relates how the doctor told him that it waB a serious case, but that he could cure him for fifty dollars. However, necessity knows no law and Mr. Plangman paid half down and took the treatment and followed it faithfully for four weeks. Naturally, he thought that he would soon be rid of the trouble, but in spite of the doctoring he goes on to add, "I was in such misery that it was almost impossible for me to do my work/ "It was at this juncture that Doan's Kidney Pills came to my notice and I procured some from the drug Btore of C. EI Cray croft. I used these pills according to directions and to my surprise I was considerably relieved on the second day and in a short time completely cured/' Pain in leftknee. This is the universal experience of those who have been sufferers-from Kidney trouble and who have been for tunate enough to teet the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills. There i9 nothing wonderful or magical about this remedy, It simply does the work by direct action on the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only and this accounts for their speedy and certain action. Early indications of kidney trouble come from two sources?, the back and the bladder. Tho back becomes weak and lame because the kidneys are sick, and relief from backache can only be complete when tho kidneys are set right. pain through Irritation of the / J J ^ ^ J L J y * * * bladder shows that iWUmlfwL the kidneys are out *- A ' of order.

QUESTIONS Qtjl RITUAL. C e r t a i n Reeitiireiameatts F o r P r o p e r l y ComferrlnsT t b e Detjrreee. We h a v e submitted t h e following Questions to H o n . George B . Horton, master of t h e Michigan state grange, w h o la an authority o n t h e subjects, and t h e a n s w e r s will doubtless be o f general interest t o members of the Order: Q.—Is there any explanatory work or lectures In connection with the conferrins of the unwritten work of the Order, and do you use and advise the same If there be any? A.—X know of no authorized lectures outside the ritual, which Is retry complete in Itself. Extras are more liable to take from than to add to the impreaalveness and strength of the work. Q.—Can the fifth degree be conferred by obligation simply, and if so do you advise It? A—The fifth degree cannot legally be conferred other than In full form. Orange law 1B plainly in opposition to any abridgement of degree forms. Q.—Do you advise and do you use m your work In Michigan the field work In the first degree T A-—The single degree forms In the ritual are asventlal when k gentleman or lady Is initiated singly. The field work is instructive and is essential to the completeness of the "laborer's" degree. Every grange should be equipped with well designed field work- From an object lesson point of view It is quite essential. Yoamar People) amd t k e Gramgre. The grange recognizes the value of social life to the farmer's family, and We ought to make our sessions so attractive that the children of our rural homes will want to be with us. Many 1 boy and girl have left the farm and rone down to disgrace and ruin on acsount of the lack of elevating amusements. We look to the boys and girls of our rural districts to carry on the grand and glorious work of our Order when we are gone, and it behooves us is true Patrons to use every legitimate means within our power to interest the young in our work. Are we doing It? In many places Juvenile granges are organized for the children. This may not be practicable in every county, but each subordinate grange might have at least one day hi the year on which the children should be welcomed and entertained. This would create in them an interest in grange work which would bear fruit in future rears. Only get the children interested with us and there would be a different I view taken of farm life. Sons and | laughters would be inspired with more 1 love for the farm, the careworn wife j would enter upon her domestic duties J with a lighter heart and the home ties • would become stronger. To accomplish I this would truly be an incentive to the I grange for further achievements.—C. C. rtells. ' Co-operation Aaaoagr Patrema. It seems strange, says the Watertown rimes, that more Patrons do not take idvantage of their organisation to purchase feed and other supplies on a cash basis and thus save a large margin from prices paid to retailers under the srodlt system. Reputable dealers are tlad to make hirge discounts where car load tots are taken and cash paid. To illustrate, some farmers not far from Watertown formed an association to tray together feed In car load lota. Two >f the enterprising milling concerns in the city sent agents ta the first meeting theae farmers heM and offered to furnish them with the best grades of feeding stuff at wholesale prices for M8b, which in some cases amounted to 18, $4 snd even $8 a ton saving from the retail price.

Russia is in Manchuria to stay and would be deeply grateful for inform* tion as to what anybody is going to do About it CHAPTER XXII.—Continued, "Oh, my heart's delight, you will he my wife!" said Pope, taking her hand, and as she did not withdraw it, together they walked the dark deck with, locked fingers. On a sudden it began to rain in very fine drops. The deep shadow of the wet sank into the night, and the sea grew so vague and phantasmal you would not have known whether the brig floated in air or upon water but for the fire that curled in the ripple at the bow, and the soft sob and harsh gurgle under the counter. Captain Pope, calling to Grindal to keep a bright lookout, conducted Miss Crystal below. Shortly after they had bade each other good night, Pope went on deck to take a last look round, and smoke a piece of cigar^-before turning in for a few hours. A fine rain continued to fall. He called Grindal to him, and they stood together under the lee of a quarter-boat, which in some measure sheltered them. "I don't think," said the boatswain, after a few sentences had passed between the two men, "that I shall find it as hard a job as I reckoned it was gorag to prove. I mean the carrying out of your scheme. I was a-sounding some of the men this evening." "Well?" "Well," continued the boatswain, "it seems to me they're gallus afeared of their necks, one and all, and 'ud De willing to disparse in furren parts, every man with his share. A slavin' voyage, with plenty of money for wages, was to tBeir liking." ed with naked feet Into the cabin. Crystal walked lightly aft to the wheel, so stepping that the creak of his boot should not penetrate the plank. He exchanged a sentence with the helsman, who proved to be one of the men of the Thetis. In a few minutes two of the seamen rose through the companion-way. silent as ghosts, bearing the armschest between them. They were followed by a third man, who at once closed and secured the companiondoor. By the faint sheen in the skylight, Crystal and the three men armed themselves with cutlasses and pistols. These latter weapons were kept loaded, and needed but the priming. Crystal put a second pistol into his breast. "Send the others aft," says he, in a hoarse, tremulous voice. The three men went forward, and, like shadows shaping themselves out of the wet-obscure, five more seamen gathered about the armB-chest and swiftly armed themselves. While they were doing this, Crystal softly closed the skylight. "Now," says he, speaking In a violent whisper, in the manner of one whose hurry means life or death to him. "Two of you spring forward to close the forescuttle. On with the mainhatch-covers!" They rushed forward; the commands were easy of execution. Two covers sufficed to close down the hold of that little brig. One, to shelter the 'tween-decks from the rain, was already on; the other lay atop of it. In an Instant this was fitted in the coam- "The pooplo are under., hatches!— vj the brig's mlnsl—turrenderi—it nrnsl com* to it, for w are ton resolved moat" Crystal panted, a* **opa, wttfc desperate lunge and 2taWJtof*ltkt flourish, drove the buccaneering fiend into the oabln. Here they bed space; and now, being able to see each other's face, each fought to kiU. "Back, you cowardl" screamed Laura, rushing at one of the men who was in the act of springing upon Pope. Too late! The fellow clipped the Irishman by the shirt under his long hair. Pope reeled, his sword passed through the air In a wild, idle sweep of glittering blade, and in the next moment Crystal drove his cutlass through his shipmate's heart •C a CHAPTER XXIII. Drove his cutlass through his shipmate's heart. Why wouldn't it be a good plan for the gentlemen who are trying to make their trotters do it in less than two minutes to have a strong, serviceable system of suction pumps rigged up arotai the tracks? L& Shamrock I. is to be converted into a schooner to carry scrap iron. This may not be romantic but it is an honest occupation and It vindicates the racing craft from the charge that it is j •at nothing except racing. | Pope listened breathlessly. Finding that Grindal paused, he said, "Well?" again, and Grindal replied: "Well, I could Bee by the men growing thoughtful that it was an idea to 'em; and then, to make 'em look a little more deep into my meaning, I tarned to and spun 'em a yarn of a ship's company aboard a pirate. There was a big treasure in the vessel, says I, the plunder of some eight or ten rich craft; and every man's share was 'andsome? What did they do? I says. There went forty to that crew, and twenty of 'em, headed by the bos'un, I says, says I, ups one black night, secures t'others under hatches, seizes the ship by blowing out the brains of the cap'en and his mate, and then, next day, they turns the men adrift In a couple of boats, and makes off, each man by so doing a risln' of his share two or three times more than it was afore." "Good!" says Pope. "Of course it was a fired lie from beginning to end," says Grindal, "inwented out of your scheme. But there's nothing like taming an idea into a story to make yourself understood by men with intellects like theirn." The fine rain continued to fall. The weather promised a long, black, wet night. Nearly all hands were in the 'tween-decks, under shelter. After holding Grindal in conversation—being posted abreast of the mainmast, so that the man at the helm could not possibly hear what was said—Pope went below. It was about eleven o'clock. The cabin-lamp was dimly burning. He leaned upon the table for a minute or so, lost in reflection. A feeling of uneasiness possessed him. Had he been wise in taking Grindal into his confidence? But the thing had to bo done, and there was but one road to it; and after drinking a tumbler of brandy and water, he went to bed. At a quarter before one, it still con* tinulng to rain had, dyeing the night to the complexion ef ink, three men came from the neighborhood of the caboose, and passing Crystal, descendings, the strong iron bar was run through the staples, and the men below were imprisoned as securely as though they had been locked up in Newgate. The forescuttle was even an easier job; the two men had nothing to do but pull the cover over and close and bolt the doors. "See if there is any but ourselves on deck," shouted Crystal, and three or four of them started on a hunt through the deep shadow. Just then they heard a loud knocking on the companion door; they could also hear some men dimly shouting under the mainhatch, followed by several blows, dealt, maybe, with a handspike. "Guard this hatch!" shouted Crystal, reckless of his voice now that the brig was bis. And followed by two men, he rushed aft. The knocking was furious. Drawing his cutlass, Crystal opened one of the doors and Pope's figure showed, firmly outlined against the faint Illumination shed by the cabin-lamp. "What in hell's this?" Pope roared. He held a pistol and took two steps, thrusting with his shoulder in his fury to break through. With beast-like inhumanity Crystal struck Pope's hand a terrible blow with the flat of his cutlass; the pistol that was cocked, exploded as it leaped down the companion- steps. "Oh, God!" cried Pope. "The brig's ours!" Surrender, Pope, or you are a dead man!" thundered Crystal. In silence Pope turned and sprang Into the cabin, and rushod into his berth, followed by Crystal and two men. Swift as Crystal was, Pope was nimbler still; his agility was that of tne hare; before Crystal had reached the other's cabin, the gallant Irish villain had seized his sword hanging beside his bunk, had rounded, and was fighting—a figure terrible with rage, pain, hate. "Is this how you reward me, you bloody villain!" was all he said, and the blades dashed in horrid, music to the shrieks of Laura, who was now standing in her cabin door. The U t t . Captain Pope lay dead on hia back. The shirt upon his heart gaped, and was dark with blood, and blood lay upon the cabin carpet close beside him. With her left arm thrown over his neck, and her black hair mingling with the dead man's, lay Laura Crystal in a swoon. Crystal had turned of a greenish waxen complexion, and his face was terrifying with the grimaces which worked in it. "I had rather anything than this. He forced it upon me. He should have surrendered," he said, trembling and shuddering, and looking at the body and then at the blade of his cutlass, slightly streaked with the heart-blood of his ship-mate. "Pick the lady up, and put her into her cabin," says he, and then: "Pull that body into its cabin out of my sight." Crystal went to the mainhatch; here two armed men were on guard. "Is all quiet below?" said he. "There's been some hammering. They're quiet now." "Keep a sharp eye for your lives' sake, and cut down any man who attempts to break out," called Crystal. When dawn broke it had ceased to rain for nearly an hour. The wind was gone, but when the melancholy gray rolled smokelike out of the east over the sea, it disclosed a number of broken clouds in the northwest, with the orange brightness of the young morn reflected betwixt the edge3 of the vapor, and from that quarter they might expect the wind. Crystal was now in command, and on him the airs of the commander sat in formidable and savage aspect. He ordered two of the carronades to be loaded with grape and canister; these pieces of artillery were then run to the mainhatch. The half-cover of the hatch was lifted, and instantly when this was done the muzzles of the guns were, depressed. No sooner had the light of day fallen through the opening of the hatch, than half a dozen men came and stood under, looking up. One of the men was Grindal. He caught caught sight of Crystal, and sung up: "What have you shut us men down here for?" His face ran with sweat, and his repulsive countenance was unusually hideous and swollen with the helpless wrath and passions of hia wicked soul. "Your captain's dead and the ship's mine," answered Crystal. "Be you as lambs, or we'll save ourselves some trouble of mercy by firing into you." Crystal now marched on to the forecastle with two of his men, leaving the mainhatch well guarded and everything ready for a deadly belch of cannon, should the men below prove* troublesome He opened the scuttle and called up Pope's servant, who immediately appeared blinking at the strong light. "Thomas," exclaimed Crsytal. "I am the commander of this brig, and the bulk of the crew are under hatches. Turn-to now and light the galley fire, and get breakfast for me and the lady and my men. And when you've dressed a meal and served it, turn-to and Ktitch Captain Pope's body up in a hammock, and mind ye put two round shot in the clews at the feet. But before you Btltch him up— I want no sight of him—overhaul his pockets. Now do you understand me?" The man answered "Yes." He was a sober-headed fellow, and perceived that he was in luck .as compared to most of the rest, and went away to the galley on swift legs, to make the best of his good fortune. "You can come up," shouted Crystal Into the scuttle. Three figures arrived emerging as though they were blind; one was the gunner, the second the carpenter, the third the cook. They began to ask questions; they cursed and they swore and for answer they were thrust forward with a flourish of cutlass and a more evil menace of pistol, and driven by Crystal, his two men, and the man who had guarded the forecastle, down into the 'tween decks. He ordered the mainhatch to be battened down while his people went to breakfast, one sentry then sufficing. (To Be Continued.) •v.

Arthur Symons thus describes the great violinist Ysaye as he appeared while playing bis instrument: "Then the 'Kreutzer Sonata' began and I looked at Ysaye as he stood, an almost shapeless mass of flesh, holding the violin between his fat fingers and looking vaguely Into the air. He put the violin to his shoulder. The face had been like a mass of clay waiting the sculptor's thumb. As the music came an invisible touch seemed to pass over it; the heavy mouth and chin remained firm, pressed down on the violin, but the eyelids and the eyebrows began to move, as if the eyes saw the sound and were drawing It In luxuriously with a kind of sleeping ecstasy, as one draws in perfume out of a flower. Then, in that instant, a beauty which had never been in the world came into the world; a new thing was created, lived, died, having revealed itself to all those who were capable of receiving it." The Minister's Threat. There was a minister deprived of his pulpit who said to some of his friends that the action should cost a hundred men's lives. They understood It as if, being a turbulent fellow, he would have moved sedition; so they complained of him. Then he explained that his meaning was that if he lost his benefice he would practice physic and then he thought he should kill a bun- 1red men in time. LIKED HIS "NIP." Not a Whisky, but a Coffee Toper. Give coffee half a chance and with some people it sets its grip hard and fast "Up to a couple of years ago." says a business man of Brooklyn, N. Y., "I was as constant a coffee drinker as it was possible to be, indeed, my craving for coffee was equal to that of a drunkard for his regular *nip' and the effect of the coffee drug up* n my system was Indeed deplorable. "My skin lacked its natural color, my features were pinched and my nevers were shattered to such an extent as to render me very irritable, 1 also suffered from palpitation of the heart "It was while In this condition I read an article about Postuni Food Coffee and concluded to try i t It was not long before Postum had entirely destroyed my raging passion for coffee and in a short time I had entirely given up coffee for delicious Postum. "The change that followed was BO extraordinary I am unable to describe It Suffice it to say, however, that all my troubles have disappeared. 1 am my original happy self again and on the whole the soothing and pleasant effects produced by my cup of Postum make me feel as though I have been 'landed at another station.' "Not long ago I converted one of my friends to Postum and he is now as loud in its praise as I am." Name itr nished by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The assertion is made by a naturalist that nightingales devour ''ie drones of a beehive, but never molest the workers. By the use of the autl-toxlu treatment in diphtheria cases, of which there were 6500 last year la the Ixmdon hospitals, the death rate from the malady has been reduced in a few years from over thirty to eleven per cent. A plant that yields a •sugar twenty times as sweet as tbe ordinary cane r beet sugar has been found in South America.

A Paris physician has noted the hour of death of 2880 personage of all ages in a mixed population, and during a period of several years. The maximum hour of death is from 5 to (J a. m., the minimum from 9 to 11 n. in. In tho first case the mortality is forty per cent, greater than the average, and in the latter six and oue-half per cent. less. From 10 a. m. to 3 p. m. iu the day the mortality is not high, and the most fatal hours are from 3 to 0 in the morning. The river basin of the Thames, with an nrea of only 5244 square miles, r.nks into insignificance when compared with the Mississippi, having the largest drainage area of the rivers of North America, amounting to 1,244,. 000 square miles, which,' in its turn, is exceeded by two river basins iu South America, namely the La Plata with a basin of 1,600,000 square miles, and the Amazon with a basin of about 2,250,000 square miles, the largest in the world. In the Medical World, Dr. Moses describes a novel method of removing a fish bone crosswise from the throat. The bone was too low to be reached by any forceps at hand, and the author recalled a method of procedure told him by an old doctor who had boon taught by a boy, namely, to tie a string in the eye of a smooth button and have the patient swallow the button, edgewise of course, and draw the button back by the string. This was done and the bone 'was promptly dislodged.

He died in poverty, and the location of bis grave is unknown. The authorities of the biology departmsnt of Missouri University have established a rat farm. Pure white rats will be used entirely for breeding, and a part of the biology building has been especially equipped for the rearing and care of the rodents. The rats are to be used for experiments with poisons and dissecting. The white breed baa been found the most desirable. Cats were formerly used Instead, but the town's supply of felines has been exhausted. The students, under rover of darkness, enticed them away from t e Columbia households and concealed them at the university. Red-Tap* Ab*tmtlt!e*» The Deutsche Juristenzeitung records the following instance of Prussian red tape: A woman who legally disappeared from her home was legally adjudged dead after a time. Three years later she reappeared, proved her identity beyond a doubt and demanded a passport and other legal documents which Germans are required to possess. The authorities, however, refused to give her the documents, declaring that legally she was dead, nud the law courts decided that she could not appeal against tbe ruling that she was dead, because too great an interval had elapsed for an appeal to be allowable. The courts of appeal upheld this decision, so that the unfortunate woman Is r.tlll dead, though very much alive to the absurdities of red tape.—London Tit-Bits, ' ! » • % AFFAIRS • • * * * ' ' it - SYSTEMATIZE HOUSEWOUK. As a matter of fact, and % sad matter of fact at that, the vast majority of women have not learned to maln> their brains save their heels. They have not learned that in the home regular methods are as necessary as in any other occupation. Some thorough housewives spend half an hour every morning planning the work of the day. They contend that by doing BO they gain the half hour twenty times over, not counting the amount of wear and tear on the brain and nervous system that is obviated by this methodical way of doing their work. CLEANING LACE CURTAINS. Pin a sheet on the carpet, then, over the sheet scatter dry Indian meal and borax mixed in the proportion of one cupful of meal to one teaspoonful of powdered borax. Over tbe sheet pin a curtain, and over the curtain scatter the mixture; then another curtain, then more mixture, until all the curtains are pinned down and all strewn with the meal and borax. Now pull out all the pins, and roll up in a compact roll, so that the sheet shall covet all. Law this roll away to season for two or three weeks, then shake out your curtains.—Woman's Home Companion. A Lars* Oil Painting. A wagon load of rusty horseshoes or a truckload of whalebone are not uucommon sights in the streets of lower Manhattan, but a truck containing a siuglc oil painting of large proportions, uncovered to the gaze of thousands, is rather more rare. Such a load came down Broadway a few days ago. The frame of the painting was fully six feet high and long in proportion, and UK> canvas bore the picture of one of the noted ocean liners, sailing along with the proverbial "bone In her teeth," under a sky as blue as turquoise. The truck stopped before a steamship office, and four men who had held tbe painting in position during the journey carried it with much tlTort through the doorway CONCERNING TABLES. { Taken all in all,' the square table j with solid centre support and corner j legs that are strong without ueing "lumpy" and graceful without ornament, is the best for general use. A* dining room and library furniture yields far less to the influence of fashion than does that for ihe drawing room, it should be selected ?or its rich woods, its fine construction, its solidity and character. All cheap vulgarities of ornament should be eschewed, and especially that which is glued on. Rough carving is least objectionable, though a handsomely grained wood with no ornament save its own fine coloring is far richer. Two favorite woods for heavy dining room and library tables are oak and mahogany. The former is toned in golden, dark oak, Flemish brown, or cathedral green, and * in seen either In a high shellac or u wax finish. The favorite width for a library table is thirtyfour inches; for the dining table, from forty-five to fifty-four inches.—F--» Der's Bazar.

Next meeting Dec, 2 at home of President, The Citizens Lecturo course was opened here Friday ev»«nin^ last by Hon. G. A. Gearhart, who spoke for an hour and a half on the subject, "Footprints of the Centuries.1' Mr. Gearhart is an eloquent speaker and has a flow < f language that is remarkable. Good things followed so fast upon each other that no one thought of applause loudly until the close of the lecture, but all sat, earnestly listening for ev.'ry word. The language he used was without fault and the lessons to be learned Jroralhe lecture were " many. The audience while n^t as lar^e as in former years was very select and certainly enjoyed a rare treat. Those who remained away were the losers. The next entertainment on the course will be by the New South Jubilee Singers, N o v . 25. On the first of Nov, Mrs. Elvira L. Carson, " n e e Haven" died at her home in Iosco, where she settled with ber husband fifty-nine years a o. She was seventy-eight y«ars, eight months and twenty-seven days old. She left lour daughters to mourn the departure of their kind loving mother; Mrs. H. M. Fenney of Sf. Louis Mich., Mrs Win. Allison of Marion, Mrs. Frank Lewis of Iosco and Mrs. David Bennett of Putman. She also left behind two sisters, Mrs. Loriette A. Dutton of Santa Barbara and Mrs. E. C. Wright of High Grove Cal. and one brother, Harry J . Haven of Lansing, with more distant kindred. Her husband Wm. Carson died in 1881; her only son James Monroe Carson in 1882 and her only other brother Allen O. Haven in 1866. Born at Mybridge Addison Co. Vt., she came to Michigan with ber family with the pioneers in 1841, who settled in Iosco. She taught school in the summer of 1841 and was married in 1842. Pioneer life had its hardships and privations, seemingly too often reconnted by its survivors to the exclusion of its joys, which more than balanced its ills. The helpfulness and neigbborliness of those days will never come back and can only be appreciated by those who lived the lite She had tbw patience, kind feeling and hardihood of character made by such an environment. If the good are longest remember d she will not soon be forgotten. She was one that forgave faults which is perhaps the best test of goodness a trait of character in which the demand for its exercise largely exceeds the 3upply.

"Oh, well, I thought as he'd sure fcreafc out soon," said Bill; "but t a r e ' s the President. They do say that her now mate Is a holy terror." '*fc won't go on hearsay," said Smith decidedly. "I want, a good man you and I know—one that'll handle this Dicky Dunn from the start. Now, what's In the harbor with officers .that can lick me?" "Weil, I always allowed (as you know, Mr. Smith) that Simpson of the California was your match." Smith's face softened. "Well, mebbe he is." "At any other time he would never have admitted it. rtind the California will sail in three days." "Righto," said Smith "Simpson is a good tough man, and so is old Baker. Bill, the California will do. But it's an almighty pity the Harvester ain't here. ( never know a more unlucky thing. But we must put up with the next best." ,rBot how'H you corral the admiral, e l r r asked BllL "You Ifcave that to me," replied the boss. "I've got a very fruitful noticn as will fetch htm if he's half the man he was." Next evening Smith found occasion to run across a couple of the Triujqphant's crew, and he got them to cotqe into his house for a drink. "Is the admiral aa dead keen on ftgfctin' with hia fists as he was?" asked Smith. "Rather," said the first man. "Oh, no, he's tired," said the second. " 'B allows 'e can't find no one to lick 'im. 'B never could." "Oh, that's his complaiut, is it?" said Smith. "And is he a: good as he was?" "I heerd him tell the first luff on'y the other day as 'e reckoned to be a better man new than he was twenty years ago. And I believes 'im. 'Ard? On, my! I do believe if 'e Tan agin a lamp>f>ost b*'d fight through it" it was enough for Smith to know that the admiral was still keen on fighting. To draw a man like that would not be so difficult. When he To the house In the Barbary Coast. had turned the two naval seamen Into the street, ho cilled for the runner. "Have you found out what I told you?" "Yes," replied Dill. "He mostly colnes down and goes off at eloven." : "is he alono?" "^Mostly he has a younjr chap with. h4au t reckon they calls him the flagl$ fetsaant; a kind ot young partner fi$ teems.to be. But that's the only ' So far. And lb» California-'sails after teMr.orror. bright and "Couldn't be better," said Smith. "After waitin' all these years I can't afford to lose no time. This yer racket cornea off to-night Look out, Mr. Bully Admiral! I'm on your track." And the trouble did begin that night Mr. "Say-it-and-meanit" Smith laid for Admiral Sir Rtchsid Dunn, K. C. B., etc., etc., from ten o'clock till halfpast eleven, and be was the only man in the crowd that did not hope the victim would come down with too many friends to be tackled. "It's a penitentiary job, so it is," said Bill. And yet when the time arrived his natural instincts got the better of him. The admiral came at last; it was about a quarter to twelve, and the whole waterfront was remarkably quiet. The two policemen at the entrance to the Ferries had by some good luck, or better management, found it advisable to take a drink at Johnson's, just opposite. And the admiral was only accompanied by his flag lieutenant. "That's Mm," said Smith. "I'd know the beggar auywaere. Now keep together and sing!" "He broke into "Down on the Suwannee Elver," and advanced with Bill and Bill's two m?tes right across the admiral's path. They pretended to be drunk, and as far as three were concerned, there was not so much pretence about it after all. But Smith had no intention of bein££ the first to run athwart tho admiral's hawse. When he came close enough, he shoved the youngest man right into his arms. The admiral jumped back, aud landed that unfortunate individual a round-arm blow that nearly unshipped his jaw. The next moment every one was on the ground, for Bill sand-bagged the admiral just as he was knocked down by the lieutenant. As Sir Richard fell, he reached out and caught Smith by the ankle. The boarding-houso master got the lieutenant by the coat and brought him down too. And as luck would have it, the youngster's head hit the admiral's with such a crack that both lay unconscious. "Do we want the young 'un, too?" asked Bill, when he rose to his feet, swinging "hia sand-bag savagely. And Smith for once lost his head. "Leave the swine, and puckarow the admiral," ho said. And indeed it was all they could do to carry Sir Richard without exciting any more attention than four semi-intoxicated men would as they took home a mate who was quite incapacitated. But they did get him home to the house in the Barbary Coast. When he showed signs of coming to he was promptly dosed and hi3 clothes were taken off hira. As he slept the sleep of the drugged they put on a complete suit of rough serge toggery and he became "Tom Deane, A. B." "They do say that he is the roughest, toughest, hardest nut on earth," said Bill; "so we'll see what like he shapes in the California. I dessay he's one of that lot that lets on how sailormen have an easy time. It's my notion the California will cure him of that." By four o'clock in the morning Tom Deane, who was. as his new shipmates allowed, a hard-looking man who could, and would, pull hia weight, lay fart asleep in a forward bunk of the California's foc'sle as she was being towed through the Golden Gate. And his flag lieutenant was Inquiring in hospital what had become of the admiral, and nobody could tell him more than he himself knew. So much he told the reporters of the Chronicle and .the Morning Call, and flaring headlines announced the disappearance of a British admiral, and the wires and cables fairly hummed to England and the world generally. At the same time tho San FrancHco police laid every water-front rat and tcugh by the heels on the chance that something might be got out of one of them. "What did I tell you?" asked BUI In great alarm, as he saw several intimate friends of his being escorted to jail. "Are you weakenln' on it?" said Smith savagely. "If I thought you was I'd murder you. Give me away, and when I get out I'll chase you three times round the world and knife you, my son." And though Bill was BO much of a "terror," he could not face Smith's eyes. "Well, I ain't in it. anyhow," he swore. But certainly "Tom Deane, A. B., was in it, and was having a holy time. When the admiral woke, which he did after half an "hour's shaking administered in turns by three of the California's crow, who were anxious to know whoro he had stowed his bottle*of mm, J be \/3s still confused with the "dope" ?;ivr<n him ashore. So he by rn-tty stlli r r ) said: But Sehrya was his flag lieutenant, aad^roa £tst then tae*eea4er. ctintareat to many reporters. ''Sand hall? rouse x*& old ton, and turn to," said one of hit new mates. And the admiral rose and rested on hia elbow. "Where am I?" "On board the California, to be sure." "I'm dreaming," said the admiral, "that's what it is. To be sure, I'm dreaming." There was something in his accent as he made this statement that roused curiosity in the others. "No, you aiil't—not much," said the first man who had spoken; "and even if you was, I guess Simpson will wake you. Rouse up before he comes along again. He was in here an hour back inquiring for the trumpet of the Day of Judgment to rouse you. Come along, Deane! Now then!" "My name's Dunn," said the admiral, with contracted brows. "Devil doubt it," said his friend; "and who done you? Wa3 it Shanghai Smith?" The admiral sat up suddenly, and by so doing brought his head into violent contact with the deck above him. This woke him thoroughly, just In time to "Did you ship as a dead man?" receive Mr. Simpson, mate of the California, who came in like a cyclone to inquire after his health. "Did you ship as a dead man?" asked Mr. Simpson, "for if you did, I'll undeceive you." And with that he yanked the admiral from his bunk, and dragged him by the collar out upon the deck at a run. Mr. Simpson was "bucko" to his finger tips, and had never been licked upon the high seas. But for that matter Vice Admiral Sir Richard Dunn, K. C.B., had never hauled down his flag eitner to any man. It surprised him, as it would have surprised any of his crew, to find that he took this handling almost meekly. But then no one knows what he would do if the sky fell; and as far as the admiral was concerned, the entire world was an absurd and ridiculous nigatmare. He rose at the end of his undignified progress and stared at the mate. "Who—who are you?" he said. Mr. Simpson gasped. "Who am I—oh, who am I? Well, I'll oblige you by statin' once for all that I'm mate of this ship, and you're my dog." But the "dog" shook his head. "Nothing of the sort," he said, as he staggered with the remains of the opiate. "I'm a British admiral, and my name's Sir Richard Dunn. Where's my ship?" Any ordinary kind of back-answer or insubordination received only one kind of treatment on board the California, and when a man had been beaten to a jelly, he rarely recovered enough spirit to inquire why he had been hammered. But this was a new departure in back-talk. "Oh, you're an admiral—an admiral, heh?" said Simpson. "Of course," said Sir Richard, and a sudden gust of rage blew the last opium out of him. "Why, damn it, sir, what the devil do you mean by laying your filthy paws on me! Where's your captain, sir? By all that's holy, I'll smash you if yon so much as look at me again." Now it Is a remarkable fact that the utterly and entirely unexpected will sometimes shake the courage of the stoutest heart. It is possible that a tiger would itself turn tall if a lamb rushed at him with open mouth. And though Mr. Simpson would have tackled a prize-fighter, knowing he was a prize-fighter, the fact that one of the kind of men whom he was accustomed to wipe his boots on now turned nnnn him with entirely strange language and a still stranger air oi authority, for a moment daunted him utterly. He stood still and gasped, while the admiral strode aft and went up the poop ladder. He was met there by the captain, who had been the terror of the seas as a mate. A narrow escape of a conviction for murder had partially reformed him. He had also become religious, ano usually went below when Simpson or the second "greaser" was hamme^ ing any one Into oblivion and obedience. (To be continued.)

Whatever will effectually eielude the plant from the light and air will destroy it This may be done by plowing, in soma-soil, end In others by a close grass sod* Plowing, if repeated frequently In soils where the root does not descend beyoad the reach of the plowing; will, In dry seasons, always destroy the thistle, and often in moist onos. In soils which are light, deep, rich, friable, and, of course, permeable to the air, and are In some measure always moist, plowing will always fail. Wherever a dense sod can be formed, tho thistle may be destroyed by seeding. The grasses, wherever they are adapted to the purpose, will be found the easiest means of destruction, although not so rapid as plowing, hoeing, salting or burning, where these latter are available. In all uplands, where the soil Is of a depth admitting the root to be reached and affected in its whole extent by the plow, hoe. fire or salt, the thistle may be destroyed by these means, and they will be found the most rapid ones. In all bottom lands where the root descends deep and the soil permits access of air. neither the plow, hoe, fire nor salt will destroy the thistle; here the grasses should be applied, and will be found the best dest-oyors. Mowing will destroy those parts of the thistle which have thrown up flowering stalks and will not in the least affect those which have not. Mowing should take place wheii tho plant is in bloom. Whatever limits the thorough application of the means of <1 struction will proportionally diminish BUCCCSS. Hence it will be found difficult in very stony grounds ever to eradicate the thistle; the plow cannot effectually reach its roots and such ground is rarely a good grass bearer. Salt and sheep, with the scythe, will be found best for stony grounds. In grounds filled with stumps, where the soil id rich and will grow a dense sod, tho grass will be best, and in such tha plow should not be used, as it will not effectually reach all the roots. Fences! that obstruct the application of tha plow or hoe should be removed. If ii be desirable to destroy the thistle by the grasses it will be found best to make the land rich by manure. This will force the grass and enable it more readily, by vigorous growth, to kill the plant And in the application of all remedies care should be taken to re duce the Boll by proper cultivation to a fine tilth, that all the seeds of th& thistle in the ground may gerxninata and not lie dormant. The seed is very hardy, and escapes all the ordinary means of destruction, except fire.— Ambrose Stevens. Ash and Oil In Corn. Some recent investigations at the Illinois station show that there is a somewhat constant relation between the amount of ash in the corn kernel and the oil. That is, that while tha proportion of oil in the germ is very large the proportion of ash Is also very large. Thus in the hominy gluten the proportion of oil and ash are quite large. Thus in one sample of corn analyzed 11.13 per cent of all the oil was found in the horny gluten and 7.96 of all the ash. In the germ of the same sample was found 83.99 per cent of all the oil and 74.87 per cent of all the ash. In another sample 12.29 per cent of all the oil was In the horny gluten and 13.49 per cent of all the ash. In the germ of thj same sample was 80.46 per cent of all the oil and 69.46 per cent of all the ash. Thus the germ and the homy gluten contain more than three-fourths of all the oil and ash in the corn kernel. The gerfh alone contains about four-fifths of all the oil and two-thirds of all the ash, though the germ is only one-tenth ol the whole kernel. The 8ow to Keep. Using a sow once and fattening her for the pork barrel is no way to get together a good lot of breeders. It takes several farrowings to prove what is the real ability of a sow in this direction. A man that has hall a dozen sows farrow, all with good litters and keeps only two of them Is as likely to keep the poorest as the best A sow must be permitted to bear pigs two or three times before she can safely be put down as a good breeder and mother. If a farmer that raises several broods of pigs a year will keep each promising sow through two or three breedings and contln. ually select the best for future work and weed out the poorest of the good ones he will in a few years have s collection of brood sows that will make him money.

"Good Lord, can't I ever have a drink without killing a man?" * Has He Found It? Polk; Ark., Nov. 9.—A remedy that will absolutely cure Rheumatism has been discovered by Mr. George Hiland of this place. Mr. Hiland is satisfied that the remedy he has used is a sure cure, for it cured him of a very 'serious case of Acute Rheumatism when he was so bad that he could not move. This is what he says: "I was troubled with what la called" Acute Rheumatism in 1900. I wa3 in such shape that I could not move without help. I was treated by a physician, who helped me some, but I was still in great pain when my wife Baw Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised as a cure for Rheumatism. She insisted on my trying them, and I felt better after taking i he first box. I continued and now I am well and able to work all tho time. I have found Dodd's Kidney Pills to be just what they are claimed to be, a perfect cure for Rheumatism." Mr. Hiland's very positive statement seems to settle all doubt as to whether or not Rheumatism can be cured. T H E FAD FOR CHAMPAGNES. Few Brands Retain Popularity for Any Length of Time.

I According to the late Richard A, Proctor, says the London Chronicle, the phrase "I guess," to English ears so ridiculous, is really identical with the old expression, "I wis," meaning ,'"I know." The word "guess" has i changed its meaning entirely in England, but has partly preserved it in America, wliere of course the natlvo isays "I guess" when he is more or less . ia a state of certainty.

The latest advices are to the effect that a second battle has been fought and 10 In- Uians killed and 11 others captured, but these have not as yet been vert* fled. News from the scene of the trouble, which is 25 miles from telegraphic communication, jts meagre. The Indians, 75 in number, are said to be under the leadership of Charlie Carries Elk and are supposed to be Bioux from the Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies in South Dakota. They have been hunting in Converse county, Wyo., In violation of the game laws of the state. Sheriff Miller, with a posse, went to the scene of their depredations last Saturday to arrest the Indians. The Indians had received warning of the coming of the whites, and prepared an ambuscade for them. The posse would have been entirely annihilated but for the fact that they were proceeding cautiously and were in a measure prepared for some trick on the part of the Indians. At the first volley from the Indians, Sheriff Miller and his deputies hastily ran to cover and then ensued a genuine Indian fight. The whites found refuge behind trees aiul boulders.

Catarrhal inflammation of the mucous lining of the kidnevs, a'so called "Bright's di«ease," may be either acute or chronic. The acuf iorm produces symptoms of such prominence that the ferious nature of the disease is at once suspected, bnt the chronic variety may come on so gradually and *0-' sidiously that its presence is not inspected antil after it has fastened itself thoroughly upon its victim. At the appearance of the first symptom Peruna should be taken. This remedy strikes at once at the very root of the dfcease. A book on catarrh sent free by Tb* Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.

Then came the fourth morning, *nd one bell, which Is half an hour ifter eight o'clock In the forenoon glances were of no use: they needed but to look at Crystal to read death, pitiless and instant, in his face. "Cast off, up sail, and away with ye!" roared Crystal. "If you're noU w a tch, fcund Laura and her cousin astern of us in a minute I'll fire into you and sink you alongside." Those of the men who had their senses hoisted the big lug. Grindal in the sternsheets grasped the tiller. The water slopped greasily betwixt the two craft, and the long-boat which, though deeply laden, still showed a fair height of side, glided off, blew slowly on to the brig's quarter, then astern, a number of her people shaking their clenched fists at Crystal, and howling oaths and curses at him in ecstasies of helpless wrath. "So amen to them," said Crystal. And after casting another look at the boat, and sweeping the horizon with his vision, he bade the fellow who had read the newspaper on the capstan to keep a lookout, and heavily sank down the companion-steps. Just as ho entered the ca>>*u, Pope's servant came out of his late master's berth. "Have you stitched him up?" says Crystal. "He's ready for launching, sir," was the man's answer. The fellow knowing Crystal and fearing him had worked nimbly, ar.' there, secreted in a hammock, on the floor of the berth, with a couple of shot secured In the clews at the foot of the corpse, lay all that was mortal of the heroic Irishman, Captain Richard Pope.

President Castro of Venezuela finds that wars may be threatened in the Balkans and the far East and be put oil from day to day for months and perhaps for years, but where he is the revolutions go on forever. By this time the armed seamen of tbe Thetis and tho men who had joined them from the body of the pirates had eaten their breakfast, and were smoking their pipes about the little caboose. When they had made an end and returned to their stations, Crystal began to sing out. The longboat was to be got over and provisioned and watered, she would accommodate all that were to go in her. Soon the boat was swayed out and lowered; the brig lying-hove-to. Casks of bread, a quantity of cheese, and other matters along with plenty of water were put into her; the mast was stepped, the big lug made ready for hoisting, the rudder shipped. The hatch cover was then lifted, the armed men stood round, and Crystal, putting his foot on the coaming, shouted down: "Below there! Up with you, all hands; but two of you at a time." When this was said Grindal and three or four pirates, all of whom n-^re in liquor, came and stood in the light under the hatch, and the boa*- s*ain called up, "What are you going to do with us?" "The long-boats's ready for you alongside," answered Crystal. "Are we to be sent adrift?" said the ugly ruffian. "If," roared Crystal, "you give me the least bit. of trouble"—and here again he swore dreadfully—"I'll sweep the 'tween-decks with these guns; I'll butcher every mother's son of ye." Then spoke the true pirate; it was no longer Captain Pope, but the devil incarnate, and his own men stared a little wildly at the figure of that savage seamen with his scar, and his frown, and his face of fury, and hio cocked and leveled pistol. "Come along!" said Grindal, and he and another came up the ladder. "Into the boat with ye!" shouted Crystal. In this way the pirates wer* got up out of those 'tween-decks—alvrays Jn twos, and one pair had to disappear before the nest brace were allowed to come upv Their scowls, their deep hoarse mutterings, thefts murderous prayer. Nothing of that sort." The stern window was opened, that window through which a former owner of this brig of curious adventures had thrown himself into the sea to escape the gibbet. "Pick him up with me," continued Crystal. They lifted the body, bore it to the window, and, pointing it feet foremost, dispatched it to the ooze. Thus inglorlously terminated tho career of Captain Pope. An Irishman of a hundred crimes, of many villainous qualities, of many generous and romantic virtues. * * * * * Now It so happened that when the frigate that had chased the Gypsy returned to the two vessels she was convoying she fell in shortly afterward with his JTjesty's ten gun brig Turk. The vessels were brought to a stand and a lieutenant of the Turk in response to signals went on board the frigate: he was then told that a pirate brig named the Gypsy was in those waters and that she had beon on the lookout for the Madre de Dios; having missed her, it was presumed that she would proceed to the' pirates' happy hunting ground in the Spanish Main. As the Turk was bound for a West Indian Station she was requested to keep a sharp loskout for the brig, to ascertain from passing ships if anything resembling btjr had been sighted by them, and to communicate to other men-of-war the news o* such a ship being in those seas. Four days later the Turk spoke H.M.S. corvette Saxon. To her she gave the news she had received from the frigate, and from the instant of the Saxon filling upon her main?topsail a bright lookout was kept aboard of her for any floating fabric rigged with two masts, and carrying square sails even to the height of skysail poles. This communication ot men-of-war was to prove Crystal's doom. How could It have.been.otherwise? A ten gun brig had gdWbefore" the Of pay and was heralding her: to the prosfitting at the cabin table at breakfast, while the man who could read stumped the planks of the quarter-deck in charge of the little fabric.

Instantly, the whole fabric of yards, and canvas, and masts, and stunsail-booms, fluctuating, on high as though gazed at through the transparency of running water, fell aft in a roar as though a gale of wind came sweeping from the bows. The huge wreck missed the wheel, but killed the fellow who was standing at it. It smothered tho quarter-deck in a vast heap of canvas and spars. A long space of bulwarks was crushed flat. "Back your fore-topsail!" was roared through the trumpet. This was promptly done by the wretched and terrified remnant of the crew of the pirate, and in a few minutes a boatful of armed seamen, in charge of a lieutenant, arrived alongside. It was of course known that the Gypsy was the pirate brig that was wanted; no need to ask any questions. Her crew were at once ordered over the side, and sent on board the Saxcn. Meanwhile, a gang of naval seamen cleared the quarter-deck so as to provido access to the cabin, and the lieutenant and two or three seamen descended the steps. They found a beautiful young woman, white and large-eyed with horror, standing at the table. When*the men entered she pointed dumbly to tho cabin occtipieJ by Crystal, and they saw^ a man lying on the deck, dead, with a pistol beside him, and a bullet wound in his brow. He had kept his word, and tho an nals of the Crystals were not to h. disgraced by the importation of th: gibbet. The girl told her story to the lie ' tenant, who sent her on board the c^ vette.

The color sehs*"«* of the whole set of rooms Is often of one shade, and it is a curious fact that rose color is the favorite. ! The recent vogue for striped wall papers has subsided a good deal, and the newest idea is to hang the rooms jwith a flat-colore.*. paper of delicate (tint, at the top of which a deep and plaborately moulded frieze of white plaster forms the main wall decoration.

This, combined with the decline of agriculture, has kept out of the army many young men who otherwise would have adopted that profession.

You may search through the annals of all time, and the speeches of men will teil the passions of the periods during which they flourished. The speeches of the ancients that have been preserved through the ages present to us our strongest and most Important history of the past. They constitute the living sentiment of the literature of fame. In all the mighty tumults of war, the tranquil periods of peace and the convulsive shocks of revolution the orator stands In clear relief I as impressive and enduring as the soldier. The prent speeches of the great | men of antiquity are in the mouth of the schoolboy. He cannot know Greece without Demostaenes. He cannot know i Rome without Cicero. Still the stenog- I raphers of those centuries were unlike i the stenographers of this, and so it will ! always remain .a lasting regret that j many of the most brilliant utterances of ancient oratory and wit have never been recorded.—Schoolmaster.

Many, says a contributor, are distressed by the way in which a cat "plays" with a mouse before killing it That the mouse does not suffer so much as might be expected is proved by certain facts told me by a friend a short time ago. Her cat after catching a mouse and "playing" with it for some time left it to go and eat some meat in a plate on the floor. To my friend's surprise, the mouse followed in spite of a broken leg and fed for awhile out of the same dish, the cat occasionally pushing the mouse aside when it came too close. When both had finished, the cat ate up his companion, who evidently feared death as little as the condemned murderers who, we are often told, "ate a hearty breakfast on the morning of their execution." Mastication. The primary object of mastication Is to break up the food so as to facilitate the swallowing of it and, still more important, to insure Its Intimate admlx- f ture with the digestive juices, not only within the mouth, but throughout the entire digestive tract. Mastication has, however, other important and far reaching effects. Thus It promotes the : flow of s;i!ivi and. when properly perj formed, secures ;i due iussalivntion of the food; it increases the quantity of allciline saliva passing into tho stomach; it stimulates the heart and circulation, and It finally influences the nutrition of the jaws and their appendages by stimulating tfce local Meet tad lymph circulation, Teacher:—Willie, what parts of speech do we co i.pare?

"Mr. Simpson, what do you mean by allow- In* your authority (and mine delegate^ to you) to be disregarded?' •• "Sir-—" said Mr. Simpson, and then the admiral turned on him. •"Hold your infernal tongue, sir," he roared. "And, air, if you are the master of this vessel, as I suppose, I require you to put aoout for San Francisco. I a n a British admiral, sir; ray name is Sir Richard Dunn." M0h, you're an admiral and you 'require'?" said Baker. "Wa'al, I do admire! You look like an admiral; the water-front is full, of such. Take that, sir." ; And the resurgent old Adam in Blaker struck the admiral with such unexpected forco that Dunn went heels over head off the poop and land- 'efi ©a Simpson. The mate lmprovfd '"the opportunity by kicking him Tiolentey in the ribs. Whon he v.*as tired, he spoke to the admiral again. \ "Now, .you lunatic, take this hore ball of twine and go and overhaul the gear on tho main. And if you open yottr mouth to say- another word I'll nmrder you." And though he could cot believe he was doing it, Sir Richard Dunn crawled aloft and did what he was told. He was stunned by his fall and the hammering he had received, but that was nothing to the utt?r and complete change of air that he experienced. As he overhauled tho gear he wondered if he was an admiral at alt If he was, how canio he on the maintopgallant-yard of a merchant ship? If he wasn't, why was he surprised at being there? He tried to recall the last day of his life as an admiral, and was dimly conscious of a late evening somewhere in San Francisco at which he had certainly taken his share of liquor. - A vague sense of having been •in a row oppressed him, -but he could recall nothing till he had been yanked out of his bunk by that trurulent devil of a mate then petroling the poop. "1 I must be mtvl," said tho adiiiirtt*. "Now, then, look alive there, you dead crawling cat,'' said Mr. Simpson, 'or Til come up and boot you off the ^aid. Do you hear we?" "Yes, sir," said the admiral quickly, and as he put a new mousing on the *li\» hooks of the mizzen-topmast-staysalViripping- line block, he murmured, ui suppose I never was an admiral after all. I don't seem to know what 1 am." And the hardest nut among the admirals oC the Active List wiped away a tear with the sleeve of his coat as he listened to the sacred Commina- Uon Service with all its blessings, intoned in a cuwn-east twang by the eminent Mr. Simpson. "He's crasy," said Simpston to the second greueer. "Sayo he's an adtairal. I've had tho Apostle Peter on toard, and n cook who said he was St. Paul, Ku<. this is tho first time I've un against an admiral before the •^rrast. "Does *.•€. look like it, sir?" asked VVlggias, lavishing. "He loo««f the toughest case you 'ever ait eye>» on," said Simpson. "But you'd tuive smiled to see the way the old ican slugged him oil tho poop. And yet there's something about, him Knight heve a pannikin of tea. I don't tumble to. I guess that's Where his madness lies. Guess 111 card him or kill him by the time we get off Sandy Hook. Now, then, you admiral, come down here and start np the fore rigging, and do it quick, or 1¾ know the reason why." And the Knight Commander of the Bath came down ar ho was bid, and naving cast a perplexed eye over ; Simpson and Wiggins, who sniggered ';. at him with amused and savage con- Y tempt, he went forward hra hurry;- * "fbis te a nightmare," ho said; •* I'm dreaming. Damme, perhaps I'm When he had overhauled the gear at the fore—and being a real seaman, he did it well—Wiggins called him down to work on deck, and he found himself among his new mates. But now they were all aware that he believed he was an admiral, and that he had Bpoken to Simpson In a way that no man had ever done. That was so much to his credit, but since he was mad he was a fit object of jeers. They jeered him accordingly and when they were at breakfast the trouble began. "Say, are you an admiral?" asked Knight, the biggest tough on board except Simpson and Wiggins. And the admiral did not answer. He looked at Knight with a gloomy, introspective eye. "Mind your own business," he said, when the question was repeated. And Knight hove a full pannikin of tea at him. This compliment was received very quietly, and the admiral rose and went on deck. "Takes water at once." said Knight; "he ain't got the pluck of a mouse." But tho admiral went aft and interviewed Mr. Simpson. "May I have the hoaor.of speaking \o you, sir?" he said, and Simpson gasped a little, but said he might have that honor. "Well, sir, said Sir Richard Dunn, "I don't know how I got here, but here I am, and I'm willing to waive the question of my being a British admiral, as I can't prove It." "That's right," said Simpson. "Ah, I'll have you sane enough by-and-by, my man." The admiral uodded. "But I wish to have your permission to knock the head off a man called Knight for'ard. It was always my custom, sir, to allow fights on board my own ship when I considered them necessary. But I always insisted on my permission being asked. Have I yours, sir?" Simpson looked the admiral up and down. "Your ship, eh? You're still crazy. I'm afraid. But Knight can kill you, my man." "I'm willing to let him try, sir," said the admiral. 'He hove a pannikin of tea over mev just now, and I think a thrashing would do him good and conduce to tho poace and order of the foc'sle." "Oh, you think so," said Simpson. "Very, well, you have my permission to introduce peace there." "I thank you, sir." said the admiral. He touched his hat and went forward. He put his head inside the foc'sle and addressed Knight: "Come outside, you buNy, and let me knock your head off Mr. Simpson has been kind enough to overlook the breach of discipline involved*" And Knight, nothing loth, came out on deck, while Simpson and Wiggins stood a little way off to enjoy the battle. "I'd llko to back the admiral," said Wiggins. "I'll have a level five dollars on Knight," «aiil Simpson, who remembered that he had, on one occasion, found Knight Extremely difficult to reduce to pulp. "Done with you," said Wiggins. And in five minutes the second; mate was richer by five dollars, as his mates carried Knight into the foc'sle. "1 don't know when 1 enjoyed myself more." said Simpson, with a sigh —•'even if I do loso money on i t While it lasted it was real cood. Did you see that most be-ewtiful upper cut? And the right-handed crosscounter that finished it was jest superb. But I'll hev to speak to the victor, so I will." And he addressed the admiral in suitable language. "Don't you think, because you've licked him, that you can fly any flag when I'm around. You done it neat and complete, and 1 overlook it, but half a look and the fust letter of- a word of SOBH and I'll massac-e you myself. Do you savvy?'' And the admiral yaid: "Yes, air." He touched hia cap and went forward to the foc'sle to enter into his kingdom. For Knight had been "topside joss" there for three voyages, being the only man who had ever succeeded in getting even one pay-day out of the California. . The principle on which she was run was to make things so hot for her crew that they skipped out at New York instead of returning to San Francisco, and the fresh crew shipped in New York did the same when they got inside the Oolden Gate. - "I understand," said the admiral, Z.& he stood in the micjdle of the.foc'sle, *;that the gentleman I've just had the pleasure of knocking; into the middle of next week was tho head bully here.

He found that what he knew of the set and its customs was by no means perfect He learnt something every day, and not least from Knight, who proved by no means a bad sort of man when he had once met his match. "Is it true," asked the admiral, "what they say about Captain Blaker giving any one the mate's Job if he can thrash him?" "It used to be the custom in the Ml mean to have Simpson's job." Western ocean," said Knight, "and Blaker was brought up there. He's a real sport, for all his bein' sort of religious. Yes, I'll bet it's true." He turned to the admiral suddenly. "Say, you wasn't thinkin' of takin' Simpson on, was you?" "If what's you say's true, 1 was," said the admiral. "It don't suit me being here." "Say now, partner," put in Knight, "what's this guff about your being an admiral? What tput it into your head?" And Sir Richard Dunn laughed. As he began to feel his feet and find that he was as good a man in new surroundings as in the old ones, he recovered his courage and his command of himself. "After all, this will be the deuce of a joke when it's over." he thought, "and I don't see why I shouldn't get a discharge out of her as mate. Talk about advertisement!" He knew how much it meant . "Look here, Knight," he said aloud, "I am an admiral. I can't prove It, but my ship was the Triumphant I don't want to force it down your throat, but if you'd say you believe it, I should be obliged to you." Knight put out his hand. "I believes it, sonny," he said, "for I own freely that there's suthln' about you different from us; a way of talk, and a look in the eye that ain't familiar in no foc'sle a3 I ever sailed In. And if you was lyin', how come you to lie so ready, beln' so drunk when Simpson hauled you out o' yer bunk? No, I believe you're speaking the trewth." And Sir Richard Dunn, K. C. B* shook hands with Charles Knight, A. B. "I won't forget this," he said huskily. He felt like Mahomet with his first disciple. "And now, in confidence," said the admiral, "I tell you I mean to have Simpson's job by the time we're off the Horn." "Good for you," cried Knight "Oh, he kicked me somethin' cruel the time him and me had a turn-up. Give it him, old man. And here's t tip for you. If you get him down, keep him down. Don't forget he kicked you, too." "I don't forget" said Sir Richard —"I don't forget, by any means."

Under the stimulus of sharp words the clerk from Tilroe's office finally produced the lost document from the waste paper basket, somewhat rumpled. The usual preliminaries having taken place, the Jury, armed with the customary documentary Information, filed out ef the courtroom. Brother attorneys hovering in the vicinity nodded congratulations to Tilroe. "Won't have t o wait long for that verdict, Tilroe. Written on the faco of every juryman. Plain as day-1 light how the ease is going." Tilroe; himself chuckled as he said: "Take them about five minutes to come to aj decision, I think," Even the defendant's attorney reluctantly admitted,' by his demeanor, that be hadn't, any show. ! " At the end o fthe first hour of waiting the bailiff came baok with a discouraging message—"Jury disagrees." Court adjourned for luncheon. But in the afternoon It was the same. They kept the jury there thirty-six, fortyeight, fifty-two hours, but one obstinate man out of the twelve rexveed to amalgamate. The jury was discharged, j Tilroe; rltt* jfrow corrugated with many frowns and scowls, called Bithers, his clerk. "Bithcrs, you follow this thing up and learn what idiot of a juryman spoiled the game." (• After a tour of investigation Bithers walked into Tilroe's office and without a word of explanation laid before him a piece of paper. Upon one side was the plaintiff's instructions to the jury; on the reverse was the big-nosed jury man in startling caricature. HAPPY WOMEN. Mrs* Pfcr% wife of a 8 .

Instead of calling for assistance she coolly went to the child's cot and sat and sung till the m t l e one went to Bleep. Two hours then remained before her husband came In. H e was surprised to find her waiting up, but when his wife handed him an envelope saying, "You might run and post this," the cause of her waiting was revealed. Instead of a letter the following was written on the envelope: "A burglar i s under the bed; run fetch the police." The husband returned in a few minutes with a policeman and the man was arrested.

The popular conception of riches is the amassment of great wealth. A man whose exchequer represents revenues beyond his rational needs and his reasonable luxuries will bo popularly designated a s rich. It must be remembered, however, that the standard of wealth, like the standard of many other things, has been raised. Synchronously with the evolution of civilization, we And human wants multiplying, making larger incomes necessary for the satisfaction of those wants* In the days of our grandfathers the man who could draw his check for a hundred thousand dollars would have been reckoned one of the plutocrats of the times. It is not so now. This is the century of colossal fortunes. It Is estimated that the Income of Mr. Rockefeller is $100 a minute. This i s wealth with a vengeance, while the prospective billionaire is becoming a very Interesting possibility of the future. After all, what is it we are so strenuously pursuing? Concretely, it is happiness. This logically leads to a philosophical differentiation of pleasure and happiness. Our pleasures are^objectlve. They are inseparably connected with environment They, are prismatic, delusive, and derive their greatest force from anticipation. Conversely, happiness is a growth from within. Happiness, or true riches, is to be discovered in the attainment of nobility of character, in the cultivation of altruistic impulses, in becoming self-reliant, in the enjoyment of those blessed reactionary influences that come from uplifting the unfortunate. ! The trouble with money getting Is that it becomes a mania; begets tho spirit of dlHcontent. It feeds on itself. Each million brings new cares, new anxieties, the necessity for new safeguards against the day of calamity, when our riches jump the track, and we are unceremoniously landed in the ditch of poverty. So, I affirm that a man is truly rich when, in an esoteric sense, he is on excellent terms with himself, and is a living, practical exponent of the divine principle! of the brotherhood of man.—New York Times. !

He had no time at Providence to hurl his pun? curse, And, for a wonder, didn't care to run the universe.

But then one night in Winter all he had went up in smoke. At that- we looked to see his cheerful •ptrit crushed and broke. But as he watened the cruel flames his fend hope* sweep away, He smiled and said, "Weil, never mind, 'twUl turn out right some day!" He lost his farm, and then he did what-' ever he could find ' As long as he was able to stand the Kteady grind, And then—his greatest trouble—his wife, so good and true, i Who'd stood by him in sorrows, and In Joys, alas! too few. Died and left him feebly stranded on the shores of time alone; And surely now, we thought, his usual courage must have flown. But. smiling through his tears, he paused and bowed his head to say: . "Of course I don't see why, but then 'twill turn out right—some day!" I Some people sing about a faith that lasts "though heavens fall," But often nt some lesser grief they quickly lose it all! This old man took his troubles all without a show of fight, And. simply, blindly, trusted that some day 'twould turn out right, Though some to-day may b.ame a man who doesn't get along— Not all succeed while doing right; some win through doing wrong.

Jfy stomach waa BO weak and upset that I could keep nothing on It and 1 vomited frequently. I could not urinate without great pain, and I couched eo much that my throat ana lungs were raw and sore. The doctoraprojunounoed it Bright's disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to me what they wiled it and I had no desire to live. A sister visited a e from St. Louis and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of Cardui. I told her I had not and she bought a bottle. I believe thai it saved my life. I believe many women could save much suffering if they but knew of its value. Don't you want freedom from pain? Take Wine of Cardui and make one supreme effort to be well. You do not need to be a weak, helpless sufferer. You can have a woman's health and doawbman'B work in life. Why not, secure a bottle of Wine of Cardui from'your druggist today? WlN&CARDIM i .

In an interesting little tract on "Marriage" by John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, all the duties of a wife are summed up in two rules—namely, that she must recognize herself as the inferior of her husband and that she must behave' ns such. These were John Wesley's theories, and that his practice may have been somewhat similar is shown by the following sentence from a letter to his wiff: "Be content to bo 0 private, insignificant person, known and loved by God and me." John Wesley's opinions on this subject wore perhaps the1 fruit of bis experience, but it is also passible that they wore a cause rather than nti effeot. and that the thorniuess of his nwvriial relations may have been in a measure traceable thereto. m h e A.

One day Zumpe told another conductor of note how Beethoven's spirit was preseut during the performance of one of the j symphouies, and so pleased was the ' ghost that after the end of the first I movement he exclaimed, "At last!"

The drawing of seats In which old and* new- members alike take deep concern occupied a greater portion of the day's session. A pretty compliment was paid the leaders and veterans of both sides 1» this connection, they being permitted to select their seats without drawing lots. The sanste was In session less than an hour. President Roosevelt's message to cougresv? was sent to that body tills noon, and read in both bouses. • The document is not a long one, and contrary to the expectations of many. deals exclusively with the subject of the Cohan treaty. No mention whatever Is made of the situations in Panama or San Domingo. The message complete is as follows; T« the Senate and Rouse of ReprenentatiTea: I have convened the cong-ross that it riay-ooasider the?legislation necessary *0 put. Into operation the commercial treaty wtth Cuba, which was ratified by the Senate at its last session and »ubee<{Uor»tly by the Cuban government. I deem-such log-lalatlon demanded not only to our interest, but by our honor. •We cannot with propriety abandon tho bourse Upon which we have »o wisely embarked. When th» acceptance of the Piatt amendment wvs required from Cuba by the action of tho congress of the United States, this government thereby definitely committed itself to the policy of treating Cuba an occupying a unique position us regards thin •country. It was provided that when the island become a free and independent republic she should stand In Huch clou* relations with us as in cortain respects to come within our system of international policy, and if necessarily followed that 9he must also to a certain degree become included within tho lines of. our economic policy. Situated as C^ba is, it would not be possible for this country to permit the at totems abuse ot the inland by any iereists military power: It is for this reason that certain Umlisjjoas fesve (pen Impressed upon her financial policy and that aaval stations have been conceded ay her to the Tinted States. . The negotiations a s to the detail* e l these naval stations are on the eve of completion. They are so situated s e to prevent any Idea that there is the Inlontlon over to use them against Cuba, or otherwise thai, for the proteotieo ef Cuba from the assaults-of foreign foes nd for the better safeguarding of American Interests in the watoiw south of us. These interests have been largely Increased by the consequences of the war with Spain and will be still further increased by the building of the Isthmian canal. They aro both military and economic. The granting to us by Cuba of the naval station* above alluded to Is of the utmost importance from a military standpoint, und 1H proof of the trood faith with which Cuba is treating us. Cuba has made great progress tinco her independence was established. She has advnmed steadHy in every way. tiUe already stands high among her ulster republics of the now world. Bho is loyally observing her obligations to us; and she is en-titled to like treatment by us. The treaty submitted to you for approval, secures to the United States economic advantages as great as those t'ivon to Cuba. Not a. main interest is sacrificed. Hy the treaty the Cuban market is secured to our producers. A market which lies at our doorH, which is already large, which I* capable of groat expansion and which is especially important to the development of our export trade. It would indeed be short-sighted for ua to refuse to take advantage of such an opportunity and to force Cuba into naking arrangements with other countries to our disadvantage. This reciprocity treaty stands by K- *elf. It is demanded on consideration of broad national policy as well as by our economic interests. It will df» •harm to no Industry. Jt will benefit many Industries, it is in the interest of our pnople os a whole, both because of fcts Importance from the broad standpoint of international policy and b*. cause economically, it intimately *on+ Ferris us to develop and secure thn rich Cuban market for our farmers, artisans, merchants and manufacturers Finally, it is desirable as a gu.arant> of the good faith of our nation towards her youn*r sistor republic to tho south whoso welfare, must. tver be closely hound with ours. We gave her liberty. Wo are knit to her by the memories of the blood and the courage ef ctti noldlers who fought for her In war; by the memories of the wisdom and Integrity of our administrators who served hrr in peace and who started her so well on tho difficult path ot self-government. We must help her enward and upward; and helping her, we shall help ourselve*. The foro going considerations caused the negotiations of the treaty with Cuba and its ratification by tho senate. They now. with equal fore*, support the legislation by the congress which by the terms of the treaty is neces. sury to render It operative. A failure to enact such lecdsl.-ition would come perilously near a repudiation ef the pledged faith of the nation.

Very Nice Pumpkin Preserve. A very nice preserve is made ef the humble pumpkin. The recipe, taken from the Boston CooKing School Magazine, is as follows: Cut the pumpkin into inch cubes, removing the rind. To each pound allow half a pound of sugar and two ounces of whole ginger root. Put the pumpkin, sugar aud ginger into alternate layers in a jar, and let them stand three days, when a quantity of syrup will have formed. Pour all into a preserving kettle and boil slowly until the pumpkin looks clear. Store in small Jars or ghisses, covered with paraffine. This preserve strongly resembles Die- II* j{-u,< .

A Possible New Fi«ld of Labor F«r Women of the G r a a s t . We have our farmers' institutes, and Hiey are notably successful. We have not yet laid our women's institute*, which might be equally as successful. In this wo are behind our Canadian neighl)ors. They have developed this farm women's institute idea into a, very practical form of work. No less than 300 of these meetings of farmers' wives have been held in Ontario the past season under the auspices of the board of agriculture. They have their own corps of women speakers, and a good attendance Is reported. The objects of women's Institutes, as stated in the rules and regulations, are "the dissemination of knowledge relating to domestic economy, including household architecture, with special attention to home sanitation; a better understanding of the economic and hygienic value of foods with a view to raising the general standard of morals and health of our people.*' In practical working the speakers seem to have placed most emphasis on instruction in better methods of housekeeping and improvement of household conditions on the farm. While it Is true that our farmers' institute programmes already give considerable attention to subjects of household interest, perhaps a separate series of meetings conducted for farmers' wives especially and largely by them would be desirable. More first class women speakers at Institutes might at least be reasonably provided to discuss topics of peculiar interest to them.

Former Day*. j Twenty-five or thirty years ago cooperative rrrange stores were much more common than they are today. Then the profits on groceries and provisions were larger than they are now, and as these profits declined, particn : larly on staple articles of trade,'the grange stores began to decrease in i numbers, as most of them were established with small capital. Today those stores are very few. but some of them are doiug good business because well managed. j The Central New York Pomona Exchange at Syracuse and others at Her kimer, Little Falls and other places are among the number. The Grangers* Exchange at Herkimer was organized twelve years ago with a capital stock j of $4,000. A portion of the net proceeds has been used each year to increase th'1 stock of goods, and at the same time a dividend of not less than 6 per cent has been declared. At the annual meeting in January last a dividend of 125 per cent was set aside. The sales last year amounted to more than $60,000. It dn"s a strictly cash business, but sells goods to everybody at a aniform price. The Grange's Mercantile association of Little Falls recently declared a dividend of 2.*> per cent on last year's business. These are exceptional. The average co-operative grange store is not a very profitable enterprise In these latter days. i DAYTON. THE JEWELER TOADELLA. F r e d Williams visited J a c k s o n relations last week.

II o once told me dat I prevaricated, an' by de time I foun' out what dat word meant it were too late foh me to hit fcim."—New Yorker. The grange claims the credit for es tablishing rural free delivery of mail. and it regrets the revelations of fraud and chicanery in that department that have wrought disgrace upon the service. The Good Roada Question. When the New York state granges get through with the barge canal question they should give good roads their attention. They can if they will wield a most wholesome influence for the betterment of our highways. To this end the Rrownlow good roads bill, introduced into the second session of the Fifty-seventh congress, finds many strong advocates in the grange. The bill was referred to the committee on agriculture and ordered pvinted, and it is expected to come before the next session of congress. It is defined as a bill to create in the department of agriculture a bureau of public roads and to provide for a system of national, state and local co-operation in the per mauent improvement of public highways. Our Grand Work. The grange's aggressive conservatism, its broad views of "equality to all and special privileges to none." 'Justly distributed burdens and justly distributed power." its elevation of the great producing class in the scale of general Intelligence, the refinement and culture in our country homes resulting from its aesthetic teachings, all taken together, have given it a stauding among the institutions of men surpassed By none other and equaled by few.—National Stockman.

There Is abundant evidence that the origin of gunpowder tad artillery goes far back Into the dim age* of the past. The Hindoo code, compiled long before the Christian era, aaye Stray 'Stories, prohibited the makix* of war with cejQaon and gnoa or any kind of firearms. Qulatua CurUus met with Are weapooa to Asia, and PatkxrtraUia sa/s that Alexander's oonqueete were arrested b/ the use of gunpowder. It Is also written that tfcos* wise met) who lived *n the cities of the Gauges "overthrew their enemies with torn, pests and thuoderbotu shot from the walls." Julius Afrtoaaui BM&ttoag shooting-powder In the year 178. It was used In the siege of OonstanttnopJe m 66«, by the Arabs in 690, at Thessato&tetv In 904, at the siege of Belgrade In 1073, by the Greeks In naval .battle In 1008, by the Arabs against the Iberians lit 1147, and at Toulouse ra 1218. It appears to have been generally known throughout civilized Europe in 1300, and eoon thereafter It made its way Into England, where It was BMsmifaotured during the reign of Elisabeth; and we learn that few arms were possessed by the English in 1310, and that they were used at the battle of Crecr is 134ft. Iferve Syatem of the Army, The signal corps claims to be the nerve system of the army. Telegraphy, telephony, ballooning and helloaraphy are its specialties. It is also charged by law with gathering and transmitting military information. Colt Must "Pony." Rhode Island republicans have nominated Col.

TM he dtd bis duty like a mitfi. Thouck aany tbicga were etntnge to him, he tumbled to them rapidly. One of bit fads had bees dolus oni* mental work eren when he was as admiral, and he put fresh "pointing" on the poop ladder rails for Blaker m a way that brought every one to look at It There was no one on board who oould ccme within eight of htm at any fancy work, ard this to pleased Simpson that the admiral never had a cross word till they were south of the Horn. Then by chance the mate and tae captain had a few words which ended in Simpson getting much the vorst of the talk. As luck would hare it, the admiral was the handiest to v^nt his epite on, and Simpson caught him a smack on tne side of the head that made him see stars. "Pcn't stand listenin' there to what don't concern you, you damned lazy hound," he said. And when the admiral picked h m30lf off the deck, Simpson made a rush for him. The admiral dodged him and shot up the poop ladder. He took off his cap to the captain, while Simpson foamed on the main deck and called him in vain. At ar.y othor time Blaker would have gone for the seaman who dared to escape a thrashing for the moment by desecrating the poop, but now Le was willing to annoy S^mpsou. "Well, what do you want?" he roared. The admiral made t> r>ally elegant bow. "Well, sir, I wanted to know whether Western Ocean custom goes here. I've been told that if I can thrash your mate, I shall have Ma job. They say forward that that's your rule, and if so, sir, I should like yonr permission to send Mr. Simpson forward and take his place," There was something so open and ingenious in the admiral that Captain Blaker, for the first time on record, buret into a shout of laughter. He went to the break of the poop and addressed the mate. "Do you hoar, Mr. Simpson?" he inquired genially. "Send him down, sir," said Simpson. "Are yon sure you can pound him?" Simpson gritted his teeth and foamed at the mouth. "Kick him off the poop, sir." The admiral spoke anxiously. "I'm a first-class navigator, sir. Is It a bargain?** And Blaker, who had never liked Simpson, laughed till he cried. "Are you willing to stake everything on your fightin* abilities, Mr. Simpson?" And when Simpson said "Aye" through his teeth, the admiral Jumped down on the main deck. Now, according to all precedents, the fight should have been long and arduous, with varying fortunes. But the admiral never regarded precedents, and reside of ten seconds Mr. Simpson was lying totally insensible under the spare topmast To er. counter the admiral's right was to escape death by a hair's breadth, and it took Charles Simpson, Able Seaman (vice Mr. Simpson, Chief Officer), two hours and a Quarter to come to. "And I thot he couid fight," said Hjtnk«—| njrro!»e you will swear oft the fir?t of the year? Jink*—Oh, y e s ; oft and on, as u s u a l -Is It a bargain?" the disgusted skipper. "Come right up, Mr. What's-your-name; you're the man for me, There ain't no reason for yon to trouble about my second mate, for Simpson could lay him out easy. All I ask of you is to work the whole crowd ap good. And I don't care if yen are an admiral, you are the right tort all the same. I gu3ss that Simpson must have reckoned he struck a cyelone." And Blaker rubbod his hands. Like Simpson at the fight between the admiral and Kn^ht, be did not know when ha had enjoyed himself more. Ho lmprloVeKr the occasion by going' bohrw and getting far too much to drink, as was his custom. And the promoted admiral took charge of the deck. ' . - • - • "Ability tells arywhere," said Sir Richard Dunn. "I didn't rise in the service for nothing. Ship me where yon will, and 111 come to the top. U I don't take this hooker Into New York aa captain and master, 111 die is the attempt" He had quite come to himself and was beginning to enjoy himself. His natural ard acquired authority blossomed wonderfully when he took on the new job, and as Blaker never swore, the admiral's gift of larguage was a great vicarious satisfaction to him. Wigglrs accepted the situation without a' murmur. Even 8'mpson himself bore no malice when his supplanter not only showed nore, but after knocking the boson' head against a bolKrd, gave his place to the former mate. Though he kept the men working aod got the last oui.ee out of them, none of them were down on him. "I tell you, he's an admiral, sure," they said. "He's got all the ways of one, 1 own," taid Bill, an old man-o'-war's man. "I spoke to an admiral myself once, or rather he spoke to me." "What did he say?" aeked the rest of bis watch. "He said," replied Bill proudly—"he upped and said, 'You cross-eyed son of a dog, if you don't jump I'll bash the.ur/ly head off you.' And you bet I jumped. Oh, he's all the ways of some admirals, he has." "Well, admiral or nore," said the rost of the crowd, "tblnga goss on pleasanter than they done when you was mate, Simpson," And Simpson grunted. "And he gets more work out of us to.au you done, either, Simpson, for all you. hammerin' of us." Til likely be hammerin' some of you again shortly," said Simpson. And as he was cock of the walk In the foc'sle, whatever he was in the ship, the others dried up. Nothing of great interest happened till they were well east of the Horn and hauled up for the northward run. And then Blaker took to religion (or what he called religion) and rum in equally undiluted doses. "I'm a miserable sinner, I am," he said to the admiral, "but all the same I'll do my duty to the crowd." He called them aft and preached to them for two hours. And when one man yawned he laid him out with a well-directed belaying pin. The next day, when it breezed up hoavily and they were shortening sail, he called all hands down from aloft on the ground that their souls were of more Importance than the work in hand. "Come down on deck, you miserable sirners," sa^ld Blaker, throu£h a speaking trumpet. His voice rose triumphantly above the roar of the gale. "Come down on deck and listen to me. For, though I'm a miserable sinner, too, there's hopes for me, and for you there's none, unless you mend your ways, in accordance with what I'm telling you.." Even with the speaking trumpet he could hardly make himself heard over the roar of the increasing gale and the thunderous slatting of tho topcalls In the spllllrg-lines. "Don't you think, sir, that they'd better make tho topsails faat before you speak to them?" said the admiral. "No, I donV replied Blaker—"not much I don't, not by a jugful. For if one of 'em went overboard, I'd be responsible before tho throne. And don't you forget It." "Damme, he's mad," said Sir Richard—" mad as a march hare. She'll be shaking the sticks out of her soon." He leant over the break of the poop and called jp Wiggins. "Mr. Wiggins, one word with you." Wiggins came up, as Blaker roared his text through the trumpet. "Will you stand by me, Mr. Wiggins, if I knock him down and take command?" "I will; but mind his gun," said Wiggins. "Wfaen he's very bad, he'll shoot" . It was not any fear of Blaker's sixshooter that made the admiral hesitate. To take the command, even from a madman, at sea is a ticklish task and may land a man in goal, for all his being a Shanghaied admiral. "I tell you, Mr. Wiggins, that Simpson is a good man. I'll bring him aft again." And Wiggins mede no objection when Simpson was called up by the admiral. "Mr. Simpson," said the mate, "this is gettlrg past a joke. Have you any objection to taking on your old job if I secure this preaching.madman and take command?" * Simpson was "full up" of the foc'sle, and as he had a vrry wholesome admiration for the admiral, he was by SB • > • • • • • » • » • * no mean* 1OOVX» rc.urn to Us <tift partem.

But if Blaker waa not happy, the admiral was thoroughly delighted. "Now you see what I said was true," he declared at dinner that night; "is I hadn't been an admiral and a man born to rise, how could I have been shipped on board this ship as a fore^ mast hand and come to be captain in six weeks? I'll be bound you never heard of a similar case, Mr. Simpson." Ard Simpson never had. "Was It Shanghai Smith, do you think, as put you here?" he asked. The admiral had heard of Shanghai Smith in the foc'sle. "When I get back I'll find out," be said. "Acd if it was, I'll not trouble the law, Mr. Simpson. I never allow any man to handle me without getting more than even." "You don't," said Slmpaon. If his manrer was dry, it was sincere. "But I don't bear malice afterwarda. Your health, Mr. Simpson. This kind of trade breeds good seamen, after all. But you are all a trifle rough." Simpson explained that they had to be. "When the owners' scheme la to have one man do three men'a work, they have to get men who will make 'em do It. And when the owners get a bad name and their ships a worse, then men like Shanghai Smith have to find us crews. If you could get'back to San Francisco and hammer an owner, some of us would be obliged to. you, sir." "Ah, when I get back!** said the admiral. "This will bo a remarkable yarn for me to tell, llr. Simpson, I still feel In a kind of dream. Would you oblige me by going to Mr. Blaker and telling him that If he continues to hammer at that door 111 have the hose turned on him." Ard when Simpson went to convey this message, the admiral put bis feet on the table and Indulged in a reverie. "I'll make a ncte about Shanghai Smith, and settle with him in full But I shall rise higher yet. 1 know it's in me. Steward 1" "Yes, air," said the steward, "I think I'll have some grog."

After seeing a number of imysicJans and specialists and getting no relief I was very much discouraged [and felt that I would die of general aerreaa and physical collapse. , "My condition was so bad I never itaaglned food would: help me but on [tha advice of a friend I tried Grape- {Nats. The first package brought me s o mneh relief that I quit the modi- .ei&es and used Grape Nuts steadily Jtkree times a day. The result was <hat within 6 months I had so completely regained my strength and 'health that 1 was back nursing again aa4 1 feel the Improvement in my brain power just as plainly as I do in physical strength. **After my own wonderful expert* afcee with Grape-Nuts I have recommenced ft te my patients with splendid success and It has worked wonders ta the eases of many Invalids whom 1 have attended professionally."

At tbe close of the civil wsr farms were gen»* eralJy heavily mortgaged, and farmers were staggering under the burden of debt ? The work of the grange was to bring farmers together in an organized capacity to consider the vital problem* 1 involved In their business' and to devise means by which t h e i r burdens might be lifted and agricultural life made as it should be, prosperous, attractive and joyous. The grange baa accomplished vast results In t h i s direction. The good it has done cannot be measured, but new problems are constantly arising, and it is the present and future that have to be considered now and not tbe past While there la a better degree of prosperity at present in agriculture than for many years past it is not as general as it ought to be. In sections where specialties in farming are followed, which call for a higher degree of knowledge and Intelligence, there has been a marked advance in prosperity, but there is a large number of farmers at present in different sections of our country who are struggling with adverse conditions and are little better off than were those at the close of the civil war. Tbe evidence of this is found | In the vast tracts of farming land that j are offered for sale at prices ranging from $10 to $20 per acre in all of our eastern states. Upon land so offered for sale there Is a ruinous decadence ! going on, farm buildings are running down, fences are past repair, farm tenant houses are^ empty and decaying, roads are not worked, and the rural schoolhouses are In many Instances without teachers or children. The grange needs to transfer Its work more actively to these sections. to gather together the scattered and discouraged farmers and what is left of their families. A campaign of real education must be bepun; the entire forces of the community must be en- Jiatte^.the_ini!.ustrlal. the educational and religious, for with these dead or inactive no progress is possible in a community, but with them aroused j ——; -• :— and active growth will be experienced %*j,rm>i>u»T JtnscoFAL ottUKOH. even with the most adverse surround- i <***• ^v * *• *+ ° ° ^ »>MWr- ***«*»» JCOT WHAT IOC NEED. ts»»t>truin>.

Then some clearly defined work for the upbuilding of tbe town should be begun, and the first in importance is its educational interests. The public school can do much, but it must be a live one, and It should contribute more than has been done to the real life and Interests of the town. Schools should be a more potent factor in a community and do. more for it than teaching in a perfunctory manner the English branches. The grange can with great profit study the needs of the community and then aid in putting the school upon such a working basis as to contribute largely to them. i This will naturally lead to the improvement of roads, for tbe isolated ; rural school is gone forever, and good ! roads are a necessity not only for tbe fanner, but for the daily transporta- ; tion of his children to and from a | strong central school. Road construe- ! tion becomes a vital problem for the ! grange to study and work out. Then follow the many questions of the improvement of the farm, the soil, stock, of markets, taxation and of great importance official representation In local as in state and national legislation. The grange should be more definite in its object and more direct in Its work, and every new grange organized upon this b:isU will in time revolutionise any community In which its work is j | ADIKSOKTHE_MAC^A^SS.M*»^veryu vigorously and intelligently conducted Farmers are overwhelmed by many present day problems which are rapidly pressing upon them faster than they are educated to meet them.

"Engrossing" was an offense punishible in England by fine and Imprisonment, and the laws against it struck: at those—called "engrossers"—who planned to gain control over necessities, inch as grain or food stuffs in considerable quantities, either by purchase or otherwise, with tbe Intention of raising prices. Tbe statute book holds quite a series of enactments designed to prevent anything in the nature of what we know is a "corner" or "combine." "Regrat- Ing" was a criminal offense, and so was "forestalling." The former consisted Of buying and selling the same day In the same market or near it, and the latter implied the purchase of merchandise oh the way to market or before the hour at which the market commenced, with the intention of selling at a profit, while it was also "forestalling" to circulate rumors calculated to raise the prices of commodities. Though these laws have fallen into desuetude, they wore in force in our grandfathers' time. At Preston, for instance, there were prosecutions almost IP to the accession of Queen Victoria.

He was, it appears, Rbsatnlftd and drugged, and put on board that Teasel, and owing to a eerie* of exciting lncidsnts during the passage, finally took charge of her. The admiral is In good health. He etates that he has no idea who waa responsible for the outrage." The bartender at Shanghai Smith's house was the first to spot this cable. He pat his hand on the bar and vaulted H. "Say, Billy, see this." He shook up the runner who was taking A caulk on a hard bench, having been engaged between four and six In getting three drunken men on board the Wanderer. He was very tired and sulky. "Well, wo'd'a op now?" ho grunted. : "&etl is up, and flamin'," said Tom. T**Yon ain't forgot the admiral by any chance, now?"

'•*• And no one answered him. They were a sick crowd at any time, and now, when their slave-owner roared, their hearts were in their boots. But Smith was only trying-to keep up Ms own courage. Not once, bat many times since he had got ever with the man who had given him a thrashing, he had regretted his method of revenge. "I'd best have bashed him and left him laying on'jthc Front," said Smith, "and here's Tom and Bill know the whole racket I've half a mind to have them put out of the way. In such a place as this, who can a man trust? Bah; it sickens me, it does. It fair sickens-me." How in the name of all that was holy and unholy had the admiral managed to rise from the foc'sle to the command of (he California? "And I thought Blaker and Simpson was both men!" said Smith with disgust. "There ain't any trustin' to appearances, nor to reputation neither. But how could the swine have done it?" An early evening paper had the whole story, and as Shanghai was still up town, all his crowd of crimps and slaves roared over the yarn. "Ho fo'te the mate and was give 'is billet," said one. "I say, but old Blaker was a sport. That's real old Western Ocean packet law. And then Blaker went luny with psalm singing and the hadmiral looked 'im up. 'Strewth, but it must 'ave bin a picnic! I'd *ave give a month's wages to see the show. But 'oo was it shaeg'aied a hadmiral?" He spoke with bated breath. "Who'd it be but Smith?" asked the speaker's mate sulkily. "He's a devil, Youffe^'a notorious devil, as we know. He'd shanghai his father-for a quarter, if he;#as dry. And a month back my own brother that shipped in the Cyrus F. Brown told me as Shanghai had a down on this very man." "Then I wouldn't be SmKh for all 'is money. This'U be a government business.'.' It would have been if the admiral had been any other kJLnd of man. But Admiral s k fcltt^ndijfcmn was one of those, and they get rarer every day, who prefer handling their own affairs. He had a gift of humor, too, and was mightHy pleased with himself. "Whoever It was that laid for me, he never meant to make me master of the California," he said, as he came west on the cars. "And whoever he was, I will fix him. The mate was pretty certain it was this Shanghai Smith.

But all his interests kept him where he was, even when H. M. S. Triumphant came down again from Bsquimault and lay waiting for the admiral off Goat Island. The crew of the Triumphant, being very proud of their own special admiral, were in so furious a rage against any one connected with crimping in the city, that no "liberty" was. eranted to any one of them. "It's hall very nne," said the Triumphants. s unanimously, "but these 'era Americans tire too smart by 'alf. Them aud hus'll part brass-rags one of those fine days. But ain't it fine to think that Dicky went to eea as a man before*the stick, and come out right on top?" They.chortled "with exceeding pleasure— with pleasure founded on his achievements and on the unexpected experiences he had had of sea life. "To think of Dicky bunking It among a crowd of merchant Jacks," said the crew. "We'd give a lot to 'ave seen him shinning up aloft for dear life." But all the same, they loved him dearly, and when he came alongside five days later, not all their sense of discipline prevented their breaking into a storm of cheers that rang out across the bay and was almost heard at Oakland. Hard as r3lcky Dunn was, he went to his cabin rather in a hurry. For orco In his life he could hardly trust himself to speak. But he received the congratulations of the captain and officers, including young Selwyn, who had been with him when he had been kidnaped, with the greatoSt calm. "Yes.

The admiral received him courteously, and was aloce. "This has been a bid bsslness, admiral, sir," said Mr. Cartwrlght, "and as chief of police of this city I feel it as a personal slur. Your request to see me anticipated me by no. more than twelve hours. I proposed to seek an interview with you to-morrow jnornitg." "I am obliged to you," said the admiral. ."Will you have anything to drink?" "It was rather cold on the water," replied Cartwrlght, And when the chief of police had a tumbler of hot whiskey and water in both hands, the admiral opened up. I've sent for you, Mr. Cartwrlght," Th"eVenditions on board merchant"ves sels than I did before." "And what dc you propose to do, want ary proceedings taken about this matter." Cartwrlght opered his mouth and stared .at the admiral in surprise. Then he began to imagine he understood. Sir Richard Dunn had evidently been somewhere on the night of his disappearance which would not suit him to have known, "Ah, I see," said Certwrlsht, with a subtle smile. "I've my own notions as to th* bracd of justice dispensed in this state, Mr. Cartwrlght. It is considerably milder than the native liquors. I wart your assistance in doing without the law, and in administering justice myself. Have you any notion of the gentleman who shipped me in the California?" "It was probably a boarding-house master," said Cartwrlght "Of course." "It might have been Sullivan, or the Sheenoy, or Williams, or 8mith." "Is that the scoundrel they know here as Shanghai Smith?" asked the admiral. (To be continued.) Reads Like a Miraela. Friarspoint, Miss., Nov.

It I* made of the whole peaches without being stoned, o* the stones are supposed to give flavor to the pie. At least, so the old colored cook will assure you. The peaches are peeled, bnt not sliced, as is done in the ordinary peach pie. Into one family cobbler or Southern peach pie, put a quart of rich yellow peaches; aweeten them to tbe taste, adding a little butter for flavoring. Line a dec:) pudding dish of earthenware with good pastry. Then fill it with the peaches and their seasoning. Cover it with a layer of pastry and bake it in a moderately hot oven. The oven should be hot enough to bake tbe whole peaches through In an hour. This was a favorite dessert "before the war." six or seven wee!**. PEPPER MANGOES. Select firm bullnosed peppers for this purpose. Mild Spanish peppers do not make good pickles, although they are excellent as vegetables or in salads and should always be served in thii way. A s a vegetable they are served stuffed with meat and other ingredients, simmered in water for about fifteen minutes, and afterward roasted in tbe oven. It is a matter of regret that this vegetable shouM tn> continually confounded with the old fash- Stains on knives, however obstinate, will disappear if rubbed with a piece of row potato dipped in brick dust. When making cakes, try greasing the tins with olivo oil instead of with trotter. Yon will find that the cake* turn out better. In certain households parsley ts always served with vinegar and salt after onions. It is supposed to remove all odor from the breath. A delicious picnic sandwich has for a. filling chopped encumbers seasoned with mayonnaise dressing, A lettuce leaf may be used with the filling if it la wanted. To keep cut asters for a long time atrip the leaves, from their stem* and put into the water in the vase & piece of charcoal. The water will n^ed changing daily! Chairs should be chosen for coiofort as well a8 for appearance. The fragile coos that look as though they would collapse if a substantial person sat en them should be abolished from the modern home. An ordinary chocolate cake baked in individual tins is delicious wlih a narshmallow frosting. Put the marshjnallows on a plate over hot water rn<\ !'.>t them dissolve. Then stir them into 9 boiled frosting. T*a kettles, pots, gem pans, etc., that have become rusted from expeacrc to sea air may bo rendered as good as new by greasing them thoroughly and -placing them over the tire to let the grease burn off. • To remove mud splashes from soft dress materials leave until thoroughly dry, thef gently rub with a dry corn cob. It will not roughen the goods as a harsh brush does. Lake or sea sand will freshen velvet and remove the dust Apply fine sand quite freely, then brash until none remains, alway brushing the pile the-wrong way. x • • • ; • — ' — ' — • '•• ••••••• • — >m . . .

This is proof enough that such an education is not absolutely neccessary. The young man however, cannot rub elbows with the class of people who attend college day by day for four years and not come out better qualified to win. An education does not all consist in book learning but iu the knowledge of the forces about you, and how to use them to the best advantage for success.

For my own parti I reckon the Sheeny—ne'a a Jew boy, of course—is a deal tougher than Smith*'" '*'.'. And just ifee&> Belwya, who knew the chief of police was on board, put his head into the admiral's cabin. "Gould I apeak to yon a moment, Sir JMefcardr l , And Dicky Dunn went oatside. "I thought aa you had this Cart- WT4gh-t with ye*, air, eaid Selwyn, nk^t I"ovgfct to teU yott a queer yarn that' nas Just boen brought me by one c f t h e quartermasters. It seems that 3' e of the men has a story that you ee fcad a fight with Shanghai Smith Bid hurt him badly. It was in Austtfclf* I believe—in Melbourne." "Stay a minute," said the admiral; 'let me think. Yes, by Jove, I did have a row on Sandrldge Pier years a?o, and I broke the man up so that ho "had to go to a hospital. And his name—yes, it was Smith. Thanks, B**wyn. I'll see if this man ever was In Australia." He went back to Cartwright "Now as to the Sheeny, admiral," said Cartwrigkt, who was beginning to feel comfortable. "Never mind the Sheeny, Mr. Cart- WTight," said his host; "do you know Smith's record? Where did he come from?" "He came from Melbourne," replied the chief. And the admiral slapped his leg. "That's the man, I believe." "Why?" "Never mind why," said Dunn. "But supposing it was, could we prove it against "him?" " "I doubt it," said Cartwright cheerfully. "Probably no one would know it but his runner. And Bill Haines would perjure himself as easy as drink lager." "Bat if we did prove it?" "There'd be an appeal, and so on," said the chief. He indicated large and generous delay on the part of the merciful Americas law by a wave of his hand. "You see we cbuldn't prove, anyhow, that he knew you was you," said Cartwright, "and If I know my own business, It wo^uld come down to a matter of assault and so many dollars." "That's what I imagined/' said the admiral. "So I proposed to take the matter in hand myself and relieve you of it For though Smith, or the real man, might come off easily, If I Choose to hare it made an international business some one will have to pay who is not guilty." 'That's likely enough," said Cartwright uneasily. "O-a the whole, admiral, I'd rather you took the job on yourself, provided it was put through quietly. What do you propose?" Dunn put his hands in his pockets, and "quarter-decked" his cabin. "I want to be sure it's Smith— "No, I d o n \ " i*id tfcMMjmJral. "Oh, come." cried Ca*t«rlffat, "the man we don't arxiwkjjilU*. the man who done/It*: >- -v ^ - "Ye*, on*—•!•-.•:«*•>••*"' "Well," said Oattwrtght, "I understood you didn't particularly hanker to catch the under-strapper." "Ah," said the admiral, "of course I see. You mean—~" "Your plan is excellent." morally sure. How can I be made euro? Ill tell you now what I know atxmt him." He repeated what Selwyn had said, .and told him the story of his having fought a- man on Sandrldge Pier at {Melbourne fifteen years before. i. "His name was Smith." * "It fits as neat as a pair of hand- Cuffs" said the chief of police. "I'll fhink it over and let you know. Stay, /Birrea, I've got it now. Look here, admiral, now you mark me. This is a scheme. It'll work, or my name's ttonnls. 111 have it put about in the .flight quarter that though there ain'i isjridencn to touch the real man who "• worked the racket on you, it is known Who actually corralled you and shoved j©o- « e the -California. I'll *• get •'the froper may to give It away that a "I mean the boarding house boss will shove the runner that did it out of sight. And then vjull know him by reason of the very means he takes not to be given away. For of course he'd reckon that the runner on being held would squeal." "It's a good plan," said the admiral. "And when I know, what kind of punishment would Mr. Smith like least of all?" ' "• "Provided ycu remember he's an American citizen, I dou't cara whnt you do," replied the chief. "But If you asked me I should get him served the way he's served you. Shanghai Smith among a crowd of sailormen Ja an American ship, such as the'Harvester (and the skipper of the Harvester hates him like pplson)—and she sails in three days—would have a picnic to recollect all his life. For you Bee, they know him." "I'll think it over/' said the admiral. "Your plan is excellent." "So it is," said Cartwright, as he was rowed ashore, "for Smith ain't no favorite of mine, and at the same time it will look as if I gave him the straight racket, anyhow." Ho sent an agent down to the water front that very night. The man dropped casual hints at the boarding houses, and ho dropped them on barren .ground.everywherebutatShanghai Smith's. "Jehoshaphat," said Smith, "BO that's the game!" Peter Cartwright had, in his own language, "reckoned him up to rights," for the very first move that Smith played was to make a break for Billy's room. As the runner had heen up most of the night before enticing sailormen off a Liverpool ship just to keep his hand in, he was as fast asleep as a bear on Christmas day, and he was mighty sulky when Smith Shook him out of sleep by the simple process of yanklug his, pillow from under his head. "Ain't a man to get no sleep that works for you?' he demanded. "What's up now?" "Hell is up, and fizzling," replied Smith. "I've had word from Peter Cartwright that you'll be arrested in the morula' if you don't skin out, Ifs the admiral. I wish I'd never set eyes on him. tCb-me, dress and skip; 'twon't do for.you to be jailed; mebbe they'd hold you on some charge till you forgot all you owe to me. There ain't no such thing as real gratitude left on earth." Billy rose and shuffled into his clothes sullenly enough. "And whore am I to skip to?" "To Portland," said Smith; "the Mendocino leaves in the mornin' for Crescent City and Astoria, don't she? Well, then, go with her and lie up with Grant or Sullivan in Portland till I lot you know the coast is.clear. And here's twenty dollars; go easy with it." He sighed to part w4th the money. And in the morning, when Smith heard that ten runners at least had been urgently invited to interview Mr. Peter Cartwright, he was glad to be iible to declare that BIHy was not on hand. "He's gono East to see-his old man," ho said drily. "And as his father is a millionaire and lives in the Fifth avenue, N' York, he couldn't afford to disregard his dyin' desire to see him." "You are a daisy, Smith," said the police officer who had come for Billy. "Between you and me, what have you done with him?" Smith shook his head. "I Bhot him last night and cut him up and pickled him in a cask," he said, with a wink. "And I've shipped him to the British ambassador at Washington,-C. 0. D." "You're as close as a clam, ain't you, Smith? But I tell you Peter is havin' a picnic. This admiral's game was pi ay in' it low down on Peter, whoever did it. There are times when a man oan't help his friends." Smith lied freely. "Yon can tell Peter I had nothrn'to do with it." "Yes, I can tell him!" said the police officer. And ho did tell him.

Selwyn instinctively put his hand to the back of his head. "Yes, Sir Richard. They sand' bagged me, as they call it, and kicked me, too." "I'm pretty sure I know who did it" said the admiral, "and I'm proposing to get even with the man my- "What's up now?" self. I like- getting even in my own fashion. What would you do if I could tell you who it was that laid the plot against us that night?" "I—I'd punch his head, sir." The admiral nodded. "I believe I did punch his head, years ago, Selwyn. But he was looking for a fight and found It, and ought to have been satisfied. Between you and me and no one else, the,chief of police here and I have fixed this matter up between ue. He says that he has no evidence, and the only man who might have given the affair away has been shipped off somewhere. I'm going to show Mr. Smith that he didn't make a bucko mate of me for nothing. And I want you to help. I've got a scheme." He unfolded it to Selwyn, and the young lieutenant chuckled. "He used to be a seaman," said the admiral, "but for twelve years he's been living comfortably on' shore, sucking the blood of sailors. And if I know anything about American ships —and I do—he'll find three months in the fo'castle of this Harvester worse than three years in a ;'i'.I. Now we're going to invade the United States quite unofficially, with the connivance of the police!" He lay back and laughed. "Oh, I tell you," said the admiral, "he ran against something not laid down in his chart when he fell in with me. You can come ashore with me now and we'll see this Cartwright American ways suit me, after all." * * *. "Then I understand, Mr. Cartwright," said the admiral, an hour later, "that there won't be a policeman anywhere within hail of -this Smfth's house to-mcrrow night?" T v e got other business for them," said Peter. "And I can see Mr. Sant here this afternoon?" "I'll undertake to have him here if you call along at three."

Japanese, wedding presents are not of the practical character favored in our part of the world, but are .chiefly Intended to express some suitable sentiment. Thus at a recent native wedding, the most prominent gift was a mountain formed of rolls of white and red; floss silk, the ends of each roll being tied with parti-colored twine in hard knots, emblematic of the indissolubility of the marriage tie. The floss silk typified gentle but enduring constancy, the strength of its skein contrasting with their softness and flexibility. Round t'ae base of the mountain were ornaments of fresh rice Btraw, plaited into the forme of the storks and tortoises of longevity, and the pine bamboo and plum of perpetual bloom, while into the loops of the plants were thrust pieces of the dried.Bonlto fish, a favorite accompaniment of wedding presents, its camej "Kataurwobcshi" being a homonym for the three Chinese characters signifying victorious, manly and brave. Proper Weight of Children. In children at the "growing period," we are assured by a recent medical writer weight is quite the most important indication of general health that we can have. The importance of keeping a careful and systematic record of weight at this time cannot be exaggerated. Snch observations, taken, say, at Intervals of two weeks apart for several years, are of great value to the physician in furnishing information regarding the child's real condition, of health. A growing child, the writer goes on to say, should weigh, at 5, about a pound for every inch of its height, and after this the increase should be about two pounds per Inch Of growth, of a little merer—Wheir welght exceeds this it is rather a sign of good health than otherwise* The 'Possum's Mistake. A 'possum more bold than prudent, wandered into the heart of Jbplin the other night. His rashness cost him dear. A venerable negro came alon£ and saw him on the top board of a neighbor's ferce.

Napoleon said that the best fed soldiers were his best soldiers, for fear and nervousness come quickly when the stomach is not nourished. Nervous fear is a sure sign that the body is not supplied with the right food. ' " " •• ' '*' '•';:" A Connecticut lady says: "For many years I had been a sufferer from 1 digestion and. heart trouble and in almost constant fear of sudden death, the most aoute su?ering possible. Dieting brought on weakness, emaciation and nervous exhaustion and 1 was a complete wreck physically and almost a wreck mentally. "I tried 'many foods, but could sot avoid the terrible nausea followed by vomiting that came after eating until I tried Grape-Nuts. This food agreed with my palate and stomach from the start This was about a year ago. Steadily and surely a change from sickness to health came until now 1 have no symptoms of dyspepsia and can walk 10 miles a day without being greatly fatigued. I have not taken a drop of medicine since I began the use of Grape-Nuts and people say I look many years younger than I really am.

The day before Easter I was so distressed with a co!d and cough that I did not think to be able to take any duties the next day, as my voice was almost* ehoked by the cough. TThe same day I received an order from you f6ra bottle of your Cough Remeny. I at once procured a sample bottle and took about three doses of the medicine. To my great reliet the cootfh and cold had completely disappeared and I was able to preach three ti£66 on Easter Day. I know that tbis rapid and effective care was due to your Cough Remedy.

A general review of tbe postal scandals has been called forth by tbe publication of ao abstract of the report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, accompanied by a memorandum by President Roosevelt. The conclusion of the report states that forty inspectors haye been era ployed every day since the investigation was ordered by the President, and that the records of 1000 postoffices were examined, as were also the files of several divisions of tbe Department for the last ten years. From the evidence of fraud found, lour officers of the department have resigned, thirteen bave been removed and ten indicated. Forty-four indictments were returned, involving thirty-one persons, Mr. Bristow estimates at about $400,- 000 the annunt received directly by those ensaged in tbe fraudulent transactions, bat says that this amount is insigni icant compared with the losses to the government resulting from tbe purchase, at high prices, of unnecessary and inferior supplies.

Letter of Sir Henry Thompson to the '-•J Archbishop of Canterbury. "I have l o n g had the oonviotion that there is no greater cause of evil, moral aud physical, in this country than the use of alcoholic, beverages. I do not mean by this that extreme indulgence which produces drunkenness. The habitual use of fermented liquors to an extent far short of what is necessary to produce that coaditiou, and such as is quite common in all ranks of society, injures the body and diminishes the mental power to an extent which 1 think few people are aware of. Such, at all events, is the result of observation during more than twyenty years of professional life devoted to hospital practice, and to private pra ctice in every rank above it. T h u s I have no hesitation in attributing a very large p r o p o r t i o n of some of the most painful and dangerous maladies which c o m e under my notice, as well as those which every medical man has to treat, to the ordinary and daily use of fermented drink taken in tbe quanity which is conventionally deemed moderate. . Whatever may be said in regard to its evil influence on the mental and moral faculties, as to the fact above stated I feel that I have a right to speak with authority: and I do so eoley because it appears fx>7 me a duty, especially at this moment, not to be silent on a matter of such extreme importance. I know full well how unpalatable is such truth, and how such a declaration brings me into painful'conflict, I had almost said; with the national sentiments and the time honored ai.d prescriptive usages of our race. Cherishing such convictions, I rejoice to observe an endeavor to organize on a large scale in the national church a special and systematic plaa for promoting temperance, aud I cannot but regard this as an event of the highest significance. I believe that no association in this country has means to influence society in a favorable direction at a l l comparable to that existing in the English Church, and the example and teaching of its clergy may d a more than any of the other associations which have long labored with the same object to diminish the national ignorance on this subject,and the consequent national vice. My m«nn object is to express my opinion as a professional man in relation to the habitual employment of fermented liquor as a beverage. B u t if I ventured one step further, it would be to express a belief that there is no single habit in this country which so much tends to deteriorate th<i qualities of the. race, and so much disqualifies it for endurance in that competition which, in the nature of things, must exist, and in which struggle the prize of superiority must fall to the best and to the s t r o n g e s t " MlniitoOou|fcOajrt ST8AHT, E of MICHIGAN.

Bro«aa m ' ' S t i l t W a l k a r s «C In the south of Francs stilts are s necessity to the people, who are mostly shepherds. They must walk 00 stilts t* order to oversee their vast flocks of sheep as well aa to pass through ths ' bogs. These shepherds—men, women sad children—walk continuously oa stilts j from six to eight feet nigh. These, stilts are merely fastened to the feet Sometimes the stilts have uprights reaching as far aa the knees and bound firmly to the lega. Generally these shepherds and shepherdesses carry long poles, which they can use either aa balancing poles or as supports— very long canes, as it were— reaching to the ground. They become to expert in stilt walking that It ia no unusual sight to aee a shepherdess striding along on stilts that raise her six feet above tbe ground, with her balancing pole strapped to her back and her hands busily knitting socks for husband, son or brother. Tbe complete unconcern with which these- country folk make their way along on stilts ia astonishing. One might almost say that tbe chlldrsjf. have stilts given to them Instead est cradles.—Washington Star. flood For Children The pleasant to take and barmelesi One Minute Cough Cure gives immediaterelieHnallea& es ot'c„ugh,eroirpand lagrippe because it does not pass immediately into the stomach, but takes effect right at tbe seat of tbe trouble.

Proaidewt RoaoreU's message to the second soesion of the Fifty-eighth Congress is srabstftBtiaity as follows: To the Senate and House of Represent With a ttatfoRi as with a man the moat importnnOi things are those of the boosehold, and therefore tha country la especially to be congratulated on what has been accomplished In the direction of pro. riding for the exercise of supervision over the gfieat corporation* and corauinajtlons of/corporations engaged, in Interstate commerce, The Congress has created the Department of Commerce and Labor, tneJudtng the Bureau of Corporations, with, for the first time authority to secure pYoper publicity of such proceedings of these greet corporations as the public ha*'the1 right to know. It has provided for,the expediting of suits for the enforcement of the Federal anti-trust law; and by another law it has secured equal treatment to aU producers in the transportation tot their goods, thus taking a long stride forward in making effective the work of the Interstate Commerce Cc-nmisalort. *' ' ' ' ' Department of Commerce and Labor. The establishment of' the Department cf Commcice and Labor, with the Bureau ef Corporations thereunder, marks a real advanoe in the direction-of doing all that is possible for the solution of the questions vitally affecting capitalists and wageworkers. Functions of New Department The preliminary work of the Bureau of Corporations In the department baa shown the wisdom of its creation. Publicity in corporate affairs will tend to do away with ignorance, and will afford facts upon which intelligent action may be taken. Systematic, intelligent investigation is already developing facts the knowledge of which is essential to a right understanding of the needs and duties of the business, world The oprporntion which is honestly and fairly organized, whose Managers in the conduct of tts business recognize their obligation to deal t-uarely with their stockholders, their competitors, and the public, has nothing to fsar from such supervision. The purpose of this bureau Is not to embarrass or assail legitimate business, but to aid in bringing about a better Industrial condition— a condition under which there shall be obedience to law and recognition of public obligation by all corporations, great or small. The Department of Commerce and Labor will be not only the clearing house for Information regarding the business transactions of the nation but the executive arm of the government to aid is. strengthening our* domestic and foreign markets, in perfecting our transportation facilities, in building up our merchant marine, in preventing the entrance- of umJoatrahie immigrants, mImproving commercial and Industrial eondl* tlons. and in bringing together on common ground thooe necessary partners in Industrial pnjgrtsf^cwrttal • *pd, labor. Commerce ^ctweeft 41»Wtions Wsteadily growings laKvohMne, and The", tendency of the tlmte *» toward closer trade relations. Constant watchfulness I*.needed to secure 40 Americamyhe chance toparticlpate to the beat advantage in fofsign trade: and ve. „rn»y confidently expect that the rtejr'elftpavtsaent will Justify the expectation of ita creators by the exercise of this watchfulness, as well as. by the busmcealthe administration of such laws relating t o our internal affairs as are intrusted to Its care. '• Capitar and Labor. The consistent policy of the national government, so far as it has the power, is to hold In check the unscrupulous man, whether employer or employe: but to refuse to weaken individual initiative or to hamper or cramp the industrial development of the country. We recognize tpat this Is an ora of freedom and combination, in which great capitalistic corporations and labor unions have become factors of tremendous importance in nil industrial centers. Hearty recognition ia given the far-reaching, beneficent work which has been accomplished through both corporations and unions, and the line as between different corporations, as between different unions, ia drawn as It Is betweenHdhTereau^ndlvlduala; that is, it Is drawn on conduct, the effort beting to treat both organised capital and organised labor 'slllte; asking nothing save the Interest of each shall be brought into harmony w1ta<the interest of the general public andr that the conduct ot each shall conform to the fundamental rules of obedience to law, of individual freedom, and or justice and fair dealing towards all. Whenever either corporation, labor union, or individual disregards tho/law or acta in a spirit of arbitrary ana tyrannous interference with the rights of others, whether corporations or individuals, then < where the Federal Government has jurisdiction, it will, see to it .that the mlsojonduct is stopped, payingnot the slightest heed to the position or jjower of the corporation, the union or the individual, but only to one vital fact—that Is, the question whether or not the conduct of the Individual of aggregate of individuals is In accordance with the law of the land. Every man must be guaranteed his liberty and his right te do as he tikes with his property or his labor, eo long as he does not Infringe thj^rjgsrf* of others. No man is above th«*4ewl- and no man Is below It; •nor do we ask any man's permission when we require him to obey it. Obedience to the law Is demanded as a right: not asked as a favor t,, Receipts and Expendtturttw-- - From all sources, exclusive of the postal service, the receipts of the government for tho last fiscal* year aggregated H&:45d.f74. The expenditures -tor . the same period were >5Qe,0C9.007, tha surplus tor t i e fiscal year being JS4 VI,667, The Indications art that the surplus for the fiaeai jteat «UL ha **vy; s<o*tt, tf ndeed there be any surplus. From July to Ifovember the receipts front customs ttes/e, approximately, nine million dollars leas- than tba^es^pts fnflrn UtS/ same , source for a corresponding portion of last year. Should this; decrease continue at the same ratio throughout 'the fiscal* yeas, the Jurpjut would he reduced by. approxin»atei*. jthirty mUlion d\o|lars. Should U\e revenue from Customs ahffef much further decrease duiing the fiscal year, the -surplus.would Vanish. A large surplus) ss certainly undesirable. Two: years ago the .war taxes were taken off with the express intention of equalising the government receipts and expenditures, and thoUgh the" first year thereafter still ahowed a surplus, it now seems likely tnat a substantial equality of revenue and expenditure will be attained. fJuefl being the ease it is of great moment both to exercise care and -economy in appro* priatlons, end to scan sharply any change in our fiscal revenue System which may Svofttt Wfcleh JUsV Up- to tb* «**»> lishmsnt of ths Now Republic Give* In ««ta»i-Pon«y of tfta Oovern- #mWt Tbv¥trt| CsprUI and Labori- \ IfiiJ!!.?",1! ^ . ^ ^ . ¾ . . ^ . . ^ ^ PuMlo i-andt and Postal .Frauds— Kood for troatios Making Britery ExtradltatJo, ' ties ffnd competent legal assistance tor J women from the farms to the cities: for the investigations and trials which will they rebelled at loneliness and lack of «•*« economy Uv aur expenditures Is empha sifted by the fact that we can not afford to, be parslmonjous in providing for what ts essential to our national well-being. Careful economy wherever possible will alone prevent our income from falling below the point roqulred in order to meet our genuine' needs. Needs of Financial Situation. The integrity of our currency Is beyond ducstton, and under present conditions it would be unwise and unnecessary to attempt a reconstruction of our entire monetary system. The same liberty should be granted the Secretary of the Treasury to deposit customs receipts as is grunted him In the. deposit of receipts from other source*, in my message ef Dec. 2, 1902, I called attention to certain needs ot the financial situation, and I again ask the consideration of the Congress for these questions. ^ Gold and Silver Standard. During the last session of the Congress, at the suggestion of a joint note from the Republic of Mexico and the Imperial Government of China, and in harmony with an act of the Congress appropriating 925,000 to pay the expenses thereof. a commission was appointed to confer with the principal European coontries In the hope that some plan might be devised whereby a fixed rate of exchange could be assured between the gold-standard countries and the silver-standard countries. This commission has filed its preliminary report, which has been made public. I deem it important that the commission be continued, and that a sum of money be appropriated sufficient to pay the expenses of its further labors. With regards to t h e improvement of the American merchant marine the President recommends tbat the Congress direct the Secretary of the Navy, the Postmaster-General, and the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, associated with such a representation from the Senate and House of Representatives as the Congress in its wisdom may designate, to Berve as a commission for the purpose of investigating and reporting to the Congress at its next session what legislation is desirable or necessary for the development of the A m e r i c a merchant marine and American comitrerce, and incidentally of a national ocean mail service of adequate auxiliary naval cruisers and navel reserves. On the subject of immigration the message calls attention to the report of a committee of New York citizens oi high standing, Messrs. Arthur v. Vriesen, Lee K. Prankel, Eugene A. Philbin, Thomas W. Hynes, and Ralph* Traufman, wEich deals with" the whole situation at length, and concludes with certain recommendations for administrative and legislative action. It i s how receiving the attention of the Secretary of Commerce and Labor. The-, message^ continues: Arrtl-Tcust Laws. On the subject of the anti-trust measures which have been dealt with by the Congress the President says: In my last annual message, in connection with the sublect of the due regulation of combinations of capital which are or may become Injurious to the public, I recommended a special appropriation for the better enforcement of the anti-trust law as it now stands, to be expended under the direction of the Attorney- General. Accordingly (by the legislative, executive, and Judicial appropriation act of February 2S. 1£03, 32 Stat., 854. 904), the Congress appropriated, for the purpose of enforcing the various Federal trust and Interstate-commerce laws, the sum of Ave hundred thousand dollars, to be expended under the direction of tho Attorney-General in the employment of special counsel and agents In the Department of Justice to conduct proceedings and proaecjujions under said laws In the courts of the United States, I now recommend, as a matter of the utmost- Importance and urgency, the extension of the purposes of this appropriation, so that it may to available, under the direction of the Attorney-General, and until used; for the' due enforcement of the. lawsvOfjtaV Wni.ted Stages in general and esp^oiayy ox the civil and criminal )aw8Jrolating to pAibtfe lands and tho laws relating to postal crimes and •Offenses and the subject ot naturalisaton. Recent investigations have shown a deplorable state of affairs in these-three matters of vital concern. By various . frauds and by forgeries and perjuries, thousands of acres of the public domain, embracing lands of different character and extending through various sections of the country, have been dishonestly acquired. It Is hardly necessary to Urge the importance «..f recovering; these dishonest acquisitions, stolen from the people, and of promptly and duly punishing the offenders. . , . Postal Frauds. X speak In another part of this message of the widespread crimes by which the sacred right of citiaenshlp is falsely asserted and that "Inestimable heritage" perverted to base ends. By similar means —that is, through frauds, forgeries, anil perjuilee. and by shameless briberlesthe laws relating; to the proper conduct of the public service In general and' to the due administration * of the Postofflco department have been notoriously violated, and anaaav indictments have been found, and the consequent prosecutions ;Sfe h* course nf,,heailrg- or on, the evo thereof.

The need ot maxa ef*e**Jvo, treaties covering this crime, Is manifest. The .exposures and prosecutions of official- corruption4 hi St. bdufs,- Mai. and other cHles and states^ hftt/e resulted ia a nujmbar of givers and takers of bribes beapming fugitives tn foreign lands. Bribery has hot been included in extradition trestles heretofore, a s the necessity for it has not arisen. While there may have been as much oflloial corruption In former years, there has been more developed and brought to light m "the Immediate past than in the preceding century of our country's history, it should Le the policy or the United States to leave no place on earth where a corrupt man fleeing from this country can rest In' peace. There Is no reason why bribery, should not be included in all treaties a s extraditable. The recent amended treaty with Mexico, whereby this crime was put In the list of extraditable offenses, has established a salutary precedent in this regard. Under this treaty the State Department has asked, and Mexico has granted, the extradition of one ot the St. Louis bribe givers. Thero can be- no crime more serious than bribery. Other offenses violate prfe law, while corruption strikes at the foundation of all law. Under our form of government all authority Is vested In the people and by them delegated to those who represent there in ofnclal capacity. The exposure and punishment of public corruption is an honor to a nation, not a disgrace. The shame lies in toleration, not in correction. No city or state, still less the nation, can be Injured by the enforcement of law. As long as public plunderers when detected can find " a haven of refuge in any foreign land and avoid punishment, just so long encouragement is given them to continue their practices. If we fail to do all that In us lies to stamp out corruption we can not escape our share of responsibility for the guilt. The first requisite of successful self-government is unflinching enforcement of the law and the cutting out of corruption. Alaskan Boundary. The message gives in detail t h e causes which led to the appointment of t h e Alaskan boundary commission, and congratulates both countries on the satisfactory termination of the sessions of the tribunal. It continues: The result is satisfactory In every way. It is of great material advantage to our people In the far Northwest. It has removed from the field of discussion and possible danger a question liable to become more acutely accentuated with each passing year. Finally, it has furr.ishied u signal proof of the fairness and good will with which two friendly nations can approach* and determine issues involving national sovereignty and by their nature Incapable of submission to a third power for adjudication. Claims Against Venezuela. Referring to the success which crowned the efforts of the United States to have the Venezuelan dispute submitted to impartial arbitrators the President says: There seems good ground for the belief that there has been a real growth among the civilized nations of a sentiment which will permit a gradual substitution of other methods than the method of war ia the settlement of disputes. It is not pretended that as yet we are near a position m which it will be possible wholly to prevent war. or that a just regard for national Interest and honor will In all caBes permit ot the settlement of, UtfexnaUonaV disputes by arbitration; but by a mixture of prudence and firmness with wisdom we think It Is possible to do away with much of the provocation and excuse for war, and at least in many cases to substitute some other and more rational method for the settlement of disputes. The Hague court offers so good an example of what can be done in the direction of such.settlement that it should be encouraged in every way. President McKinley, in h i s message of Dec. 5, 1808, urged that the Executive be authorized to correspond with the governments of the principal maritime powers with a view of incorporating into the permanent law of civilized nations the principle of the exemption of all private property at sea, not contraband of war, from capture or destruction by belligerent powers. President Roosevelt says he cordially renews this recommendation, as a matter of humanity and morals. Consular Service. I call your attention to the reduced cost in maintaining the consular service for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1903. as shown in thft annual report of the Auditor f«>r the State and other departments, •>s compared with the year previous. Fcr the year under consideration the excess of expenditures over receipts on account of the consular service amounted to $36,- 125.12, as asalnst 196.972.50 for the year ending June 30. 1902, and $147,040.16 tor the year ending Jure 80, 19M. This is the best showing in this resrect for the consular service for the past fourteen years, and the reduction in the cost of the seiv. ice to the Government has keen made in spite of the fact that the expenditures for tho year In question were rrore than £0.000 greater than for the previous year. Rural Free-Delivery Service. The rural free-delivery service has b»en steadily extended. The attention of the Congress is asked to the question of the compensation of' the letter carriers and clerks engaged In the postal service, especially on the new rural free-delivery routes. More mutes have been instal ed since the first of July last than in any Ike period In the department's history. While a due regard to economy must be kept In mind in the estab ishment of new routes, yet the extension of the rural "ffee-dcllvery 'system must be continued, for reasons of sound .pubiic policy. No governmental movement of recent year* has resulted In greater immediate rem.«flt to the people of the country dtstriata Rural free delivery, taken in connection with the telephone, the bicycle, and the iroi:ey. accomplishes much toward* lessening the Isolation of farm life nn.^mak- 'ng it brighter anJ «iur»» attractive.

On the subject of the public laads of the country the message says: The cash receipts of'the General Land Office for the last fiscal year were, fll.- 024.743.65. an increase of $4.762.816.47 over the preceding year. Of this sum. approximately, t8,4«1453 will go to the credit of the fund for the reclamation, ot arid land, making the total of this fund, up to the 30th of June, 1S08, approximately, J16.1S1.S34. A gratifying- disposition has been evinced by those having unlawful lnelosures of public land to remove their fences. Nearly iwo million acres so inclosed have been thrown open on oemand In bat comparatively few cases has it been, necessary to go into eourt to accomplish this purpose. This work will be vigorously prosecuted until all unlawful inolosures have been removed. Irrigation. Tb*» work of reclamation of tho arid /lands of the West is progressing steadily and satisfactorily under the terms oC the law setting aside the proceeds from the disposal ot public lands. Tho corps of engineers known as the Reclamation Service, which is conducting the surveys and examinations, has been thoroughly organized, especial pains being taken to secure under the civil-service rules a body of skilled, experienced, and efficient men. Surveys and examinations are progressing throughout the arid states and territories, plans for reclaiming works being prepared and passed upon by boards of engineers before approval by the Secretary of the Interior, in Arizona and Nevada, in localities where such Work is pre-eminently needed, construction has already been begun. In other parts or the arid West various projects are well advanced toward the drawing up of contracts, these being delayed In part by necessities of reaching agreements or understanding as regards rights of way or acquisition of. real estate. Most of the works contemplated for construction are of national importance, involving Interstate questions or the securing of stable, self-supporting communities in the midBt of vast tracts of vacant land. The Nation as a whole is of course the gainer by the creation of these homes, adding as they do to the wealth and stability cf the country, and furnishing a home market for the products of the East anu South. The reclamation law, while perhaps not ideal, appears at present to answer the larger needs for wh'.ch it ia designed.. Further legislation Is not recommended until the necessities of change are more apparent. Preservation of Forests. The President points out the necassity of taking steps for the preservation of our forests, especially at the headwaters of streams. Of the cottonweevil he says: The cotton-growing States have recently been invaded by a weevil that has done much darrage and threatens the entire cotton industry. I suggest to the Congress the prompt enactment of such remedial legislation as its judgment ma - approve. isthmian Canal. The causes leadicg up to the establishment of the new republic of Panama, and its recogrltlon by the United States are given in much detail, as follows: By the act of June 2S, 1902, the Congress authorized the President to enter into treaty with Colombia for tho building of the canal across the Jsthmus of Panama; it being provided that in thf event of failure to secure such treaty after the lapse of a reasonable time, recourse should be had to building a canal through Nicaragua. It has not been necessary to consider this alternative, as I am cnab'ed to lay before tho Senate a treaty providing for the building of th? canal across the Isthmus of Panama. This was the route which commended itself to the deliberate Judgment of the ^.ngress, and we can now acquire by treaty the right to construct the canal over this route. The question now, therefore, is not by which route the isthmian canal shall be built, for that question haa been definitely and irrevocably decided. The question is simply whether or not we shall have an isthmian cnnal. In tho year 1S4« this Covx.-nmcnt entered into a treaty with .xew Granada. ihe predecessor upon the Isthmus of the Republic of Colombia and ot the present Republic of Panama, by which treaty it was provided that the Government and citisens of the United States should always have free and open right of way, or transit across the Isthmus of Panama by any modes of communication that might be constructed, while in return our Government guaranteed the perfect neutrality of the above-mentioned isthmus with the view that the free transit from the one to the other sea might not be interrupted or embarrassed. The treaty vested in the United States * substantial property right carved out of the rtghts of sovereignty and property which New Granada then had and possessed over the said territory.. The namo of New Granada has passed away and Its territory has been divided. Its successor, the Government of Colombia, has ceased to own any property in the lstnmu« A new republic, that of Panama, which was at one time a sovereign state, and at another time a mere department of .the successive confederations known as New tiranada and Colombia, has now succeeded to the rights which first one and then the other formerly exercised over the Isthmus. Bnt as long as the Isthmus endures, the mere gecg.aphlcal fact of Us existence, and the peculiar interest therein which Is requl.ed by our position, oorpetuate the solemn contract which binds tho holders of the territory to respect our right to freedom of transit across it, and binds us In return to safeguard for tho isthmus and the world the exorcise of- that inestimable privilege. The true Interpretation of the obliga ions upon which the United States entered In this treaty of 184J has been given epeatedly in the utie.ances of Presllenta and Secretaries ot Stale. Secretary Cass ip 1*5* ofiTciclly stated the posrtlon of this Government as follow*: "The progress of events has renders*? ths interccfanic rants. actoss tha aaaxoor portion of CentraT America vastly lmpotw tant to the commercial world, and especially to tb* United Stales, whoso pos> sessions extend; alpng_the Atlantic jta* Pacific coasts,, and demand the speediest and easiest modes .of coramunlca troa. While- the ^rights of'sovereignty of tho states occupying thfcr region snouiO a!* ways'be respected,- we shall1 expert (bat these rights he cxcrclaed.ln a s^uit'.hs- .£t£tas7 Utt< occasion and. the want* and 'cirebmstanccs' that have'arisen, doyereignty has its duties as wtll as Its rights, and none of these local governments, even if administered with roore-if gard to the just demands of other nations tbasj they have been, would be permitted, hi a spirit of eastern isolation, to close tho gates of Intercourse on the great highways of the woild. and justify the act by the pretension that these avenues of trade and tiavel belong to them and that they eheese to shut them, or, what IS almost equivalent, to- eacumber them with such unjust relations as woold prevent their general use.**' Seven years later. In 1865. Mr. Seward in different communications took the following position: MThe United States have taken and will take no interest in any question ef internal revolution in the State of Panama, or any State of the United States Of Colombia, bat will maintain a perfect neutrality in connection with such domestic altercations. The United States .will, nevertheless, hold themselves ready to protect the transit trade across- the isthmus against invasion of either domestic or foreign disturbers of the peacer of the State of Panama. * * • Neither the text nor the spirit of tho stipulation in that article by which the United State* engages to preserve the neutrality of Us* Isthmus of Panama, imposes an sSjtsjpe* tlon on this Government to r inajfj aj||*S the requisition (of the Presides* Of thO United States of Colombia iter a forest %» protect the Isthmus cf passu** frees * body of insurgents of that oouatryj. The purpose of the sttnuiatloa was to guarantee the isthmsw against seizure or 'invasion by a foreign posrer or:ly." Last spring, under the act above referred to. a treaty concluded between the representatives of the Republic of Colombia and of our Government was ratified by the Senate. This treaty was entered into at the urgent solicitation of the people of Colombia and after a body of exoerts appointed by our Government especially to go Into the matter of ths routes across the isthmus had pronounced unanimously in favor of the Panama route. In drawing up this treaty every concession was made to the peoilo and to the Government of Colombia. We were more than ju3t in denling witu J hem. Our generosity was such as to make it a serious question whether we r-ad not gone too far in their .interest at tho expense of our own; for in our scrupulous ucsire to pay all possible heed, not merely to the real but even to the fancied rights of our weaker neighbor, who alrrady owed so much to our protection and forbearance, we yielded In all possible ways to her desires in drawing up the treaty. Nevertheless the Government of Colombia not merely repudiated tha treaty, tut repudiated It In such manner as to make K evident by the time the Colombian Consress adjourned that not the scantiest hope remained of ever getting a satisfactory tTFaty from thfm. The Government of Colombia made the treaty, and yet when the Colombian Congress was called to ratify it the vote against ratification was unanimous. It does not appear that the Government made any real effort to secure ratification. Revolution in Panama. Immediately after the adjournment of the Congress a revolution broke out In Panama. The people of Panama had long been dir»nor,tmted with the Repubilo of Colombia, and they had been kept quiet only by the prospect of the conclusion Of the treaty, which was to them a matter of vital concern.-When It became evident that the treaty was hopelessly lost, the people of Pamirua rose literally as one man. Not a shot was fired by a single man on the isthmus in the Interest of the Colombian Government. Not a life was lost in the accomplishment of the revolution. The Colombian troops stationed on the Isthmus, who had long been unpaid, made common cause with the people nf Panama, nnd with astonishing unanimity the new republic was started. The duty of tiie Cnited States in the premises was clear, in strict accordance with the principles laid Jown by Secretaries Cas* and Seward In the official documents above quoted, the United States gr>ve notice that it would permit the landing of no expeditionary force, the arrival of which wou.d mean chaos p.nd destruction along the line of the railroad and of the proposed canal, and an interruption of transit as an inevitable consequence. The do facto Government of Panama was recognized in the following teiegram to Mr. Ehrraan: "The people of Panama lave, by apparently unanimous movement, dissolved their political connection with tho Republic of Colombia and resumed th?lr Independence. When you are satisfied that a de faeto government, republican la form and without substantial opposition from Its own people, has been estaMtsked. in the State of Panama, you will enter Into relations with it as the respooeshsO government of the tesritory and HsstrtO It for all due action to protect tho parsons and property of citizens of the United States and to keep open the isthmian transit, in accordance wtth the obligations of existing treaties governing the relations of the United States to that territory." Treaty With Republic of Panamau Every effort has been made by the Government of the United States to penmade Colombia to follow a course which was essentially not only to our interests and to the interests of the wo: Id. but to the interests of Colombia itself. These efforts have failed; and ColomMa, by her persistence tn repulsing the advances that have r«en made, has forced us. for toe sake of our own honor, and of the Interest and well-being, not merely of our own people, but of the people of i«e Isthmus of Panama and the people of the civilised countiies of the world, to take decisive steps to bring to an end a condition ef affairs which had become intolerable. The new Republic of Panama Immediately offered to negotiate a treaty with us. This treaty I herewith submit By It our interests are better safeguarded thaa la the treaty with Colombia which was ratified by the Senate at its last session.

When tbe historian of the future etui! write,tbe true chronicle of theae timet and shall give truly and faithfully the causae of the great progress which our country haa made I beueve out he will write: Pint—The church of Christ Here la the greatest factor in tbe civilisation of tbe world, and no comparison of it with any civil Institution should be i made. Second.—Our public schools, where onr children are educated to broader views of life and trained for good citisenshlp. For these schools no expenditure of money properly made is to be sonsidered extravagant Third.-The great fraternities established through the country—Masonry. Odd Fellows. Knights of Pythias and hundreds of others. These are binding men together, lifting them to a higher plane of living and creating a better citizenship. I bid them all hail and godspeed. Of course even among these great fraternities some are better than others. Of these orders I believe that the Patrons of Husbandry ranks with the highest—National Master Jones.

This great order, tbe Patrons of Husbandry, stands organised for the improvement the more prosperous condition, of the agricultural interests of this nation. There is not a man engaged in any occupation but is vitally interested In the prosperity, the growth, the success, of the order of the Patrons of Husbandry for the reason that if the farmer la success**, If ear farms became mora productive, there • mora business for the railways, and Mrs. O.

ALL AROUND GRANGE FAIR, An Idea Taat May Be Snsrsreattva f Other Patrons. Last month the Templeton (Mass.) grange held a successful cattle show and fair. Tbe hall exhibition was a very creditable one and consisted of vegetables, fancy and useful articles and farm products. There was a fair exhibit of cattle, sheep, dogs and swine, also poultry. The music for the day was furnished by a brass band of twenty pieces. There was a coaching parade In the forenoon, with a number of decorated wagons In the procession. There were plowing matches, horse driving contests, foot races and baseball games. In tbe evening there were a concert and dance In the town hall. The Idea is a good one. Grangers cannot only add to the interest of county fairs by their exhibits and patronage, but they can get up a fair of their own. as Templeton grange has done, with much credit to themselves mad the Order. S*l»ia lleetinn-s In Pennarlrmnia. Tbe series of field meetings held In twenty-six counties of Pennsylvania during the month of August was largely attended and elicited active Interest and cordial approval by Patrons generally. Social committees are entitled to honorable mention for the efficient work they invariably did la making these meetings a gr*at success. Brother A, B. Morae of South Paris, Me^ who attended each meeting, won many friends not only by his superior art as an Impersonator, elocutionist and entertainer, but by his devotion to the Order and high typo of manhood. Grange teachings were promulgated from the platform by stnte grange speakers and listened to attentively. Evidently active Interest in the work of the grange firs been stimulated'and much done to .TopuliiHae ilie Order over the state to the many summer meetings held during 10015.-A. M. Cornell. State Master Norris of the New York gtnte grange expects to have a class of 2..VM) Patrons to take the seventh degree at the national grange meeting at Uoehester in November. Maine had 1,700 two years ago. Surely New York •loulil not fall short of its worthy master's expectations. The Mercer county (N. J.) Pomona JJrange lietd a monster clambake and picnic in August, at which fully 2.000 patrons were present. The grange had headquarters on the Trenton fair grounds Sept. 28 to Oct 2. Michigan has organized 122 new granges since Dec. 1, 1002. The prize desk plan brought in 1,700 new mem- DOTS. West Virginia has over eighty-five subordinate granges and three Pomoaas. Very good for a southern state. Stamina For Plunder. • visitor to one of the hotels-at Peking was awakened during the night by tbe noise caused by the fall of a roll of paper. Getting out of bed, he saw with astonishment a pole, to which was attached a fishing line, moving about the mom, collecting various objects'and removing tbem through the window. Upon going downstairs he was heard by the burglarious Chinaman outside to whom the rod belonged and who escaped, leaving his fishing Hat behind him. ASD1TZ0VAI LOCAL.

MI teU you what, Stanley/' said the Admiral, "I don't care what they did to me, for it's done me no harm. ftvt after this you should be able to •take them enforce the laws. If they would only do that the Pacific coast vJpeJln'v' stink so in the- nostrils of shipmasters and shipowners." . The consul explained, the local system of politics. It appeared that every one with any business on the borders of crime insured against the results of accidents by being in politics. "And If the thieving politicians appoint the man to control them, what's the result?" "The result is—Shanghai Smith," said the .admiral. "Well, I'll see you later. I've an appointment with Mr. Saut, of the Harvester." ...The consul stared. . '"What, with Sant? Why, he got eighteen months' hard labor for killing a man six months ago." "But he's not in prison?" "Of course not," said the consul. "He was pardoned by the governor." "fre's just the man I wish to see," cried Dicky Dunn. He found Sant waiting at Cartwright's office. He was a hard-bitted, weather-beaten gentleman, and half his face was jaw. That jaw had hold of a long cigar with his back teeth. He continued smoking and chewing, and did both savagely. What Peter had said to him did not come out, but by agreement the admiral was introduced as Mr. Dunn. ''You have reason not to like Shanghai Smith?" said Peter. That's so," nodded Sant "Mr. Dunn does not like him either. Could you make any use of him on board the Harvester?" "I could," said Sant, grinning; "he'd be a useful man." *If you Imagined you missed a man to-morrow morning just as you were getting up your anchor, and some one hailed you and said they had picked one up, you would take him aboard?" "Wet or dry," said Sant. "I'll undertake he shall be wet," said the admiral. "Eh?" And he turned to Selwyn. "Yes, sir," replied the lieutenant, "that could be arranged." "Very well, Mr. Sant," said the admiral "And it's understood, ot course," said Peter, "that you gentlemen never •aw each other and don't know each ether when you meet, it being a matter of mutual obligation." "I agree," said Sant "AU* of course," Cartwright added a s he escorted the admiral and Selwyn into the passage, "if there should «ie a shindy at Smith's and any of >bur men are in it, we shall all explain that it was owing to your hav- •lag been put away. And two wrongs •then will make it right. I guess the (newspapers will call it square." ".Exactly so," said the admiral. -And when he reached the Triumphant he had very nearly worked out the plan by which the row at Shanghai Smith's was to occur. . TIL just go over it with you, Seltryn," he said, when he reached his •cabin again. "Now you must remem- "i rely on your discretion." ber I rely on your discretion. A wrong step may land us in trouble with the authorities and the admiralty;" ' "Well, what do you propose, Sir Richard?" asked Selwyn. "This 1B rightly your show and mme," said the admiral. "I won't have any one else in it that I can fcetp. I ought to speak to Hamilton, bu^t I' won't. I'll keep him out of the trouble"—for Hamilton was the captain ^of thev Triumphant "I suppose th% taen here are really fond of me.?* satd the admiral interrogatively. v» said Selwyn. "Is there any one of them you could drop a hint to, that you could trust?" "Of course/* said Selwyn; "there* Benson, whose father works for mine as gardener." : • "Do you mean Benson, my ooxs'n?" "Yes, sir." "He's the very man. You might let him know that if he should get into any trouble, he will be paid for it. I leave the rest to you. You can go ashore now, with this note to Stanley. That will give you a chance to take Benson with you and speak to him on the quiet I don't know that I care particularly to hear any more about it till the day after to-morrow, unless I have to. Ultimately all the responsibility is mine, of course." And by that Selwyn understood rightly enough that Dicky Dunn, for all his cunning, had no intention of shirking trouble if trouble came. He went ashore and took Benson up town with him. "Do you men think it was Shanghai Smith that laid for us, and put the admiral atfay, Benson?" he asked as they went up Market street. "There ain't the shadder of a doubt 'e done it, sir," said Benson. "And they don't like it?" "Lord bless you, sir. It's very 'ard 'avin' all liberty stopped, but between you and me it was wise to stop it. They would 'ave rooted 'is 'ouse up and shied the wreckage into the bay." "It's a pity that you and about twenty more couldn't do it," said Selwyn. "And if one could only catch hold of the man himself and put him on board an outward-bound ship, it would do him good." Benson slapped his leg. "Oh, sir, there ain't a man on board the Triumphant that wouldn't do six months with pleasure to 'ave the 'andlin' of 'Ira." "No?" "For sure, sir." "I was lying awake last night thinking of it," said Selwyn; "at least, I believe I was awake—perhaps I was dreaming. But I seemed to think that a couple of boats' crews Were ashore, and that you went to Shanghai's place for a drink." "I've done that same, sir," said Benson, "and the liquor was cruel bad." "And t .dreamed—yes, I suppose it was a <fteam—that you started a row and made hay of his bar and collared him, and took him in the cutter and rowed him about the bay till about four in the morning." "You always was very imaginary and dreamy as a boy, sir, begging your pardon, sir," said Benson. "And I dreamed you came to the Harvester " "Her that's lying in the bay—the ship with the bad name among sailormen?" ' "That's the ship," said Selwyn; "and you hailed her and asked the captain if a man had tried to escape by swimming. And he said 'Yes,' and then you said you'd picked him up." Benson looked at him quickly. "But he wouldn't be wet, sir." "Oh, yes, he would, Benson. You could easily duck him overboard." Benson stared very hard at the lieutenant "Of course. I could very easy duck him—and love to do it, too. And did the captain of the Harvester own to him, sir?" *" Selwyn nodded. "He would, Benson—I mean he did, of course." "I suppose," asked Benson, with his eyes on the pavement, "that it had been arranged so?" "In the dream, yes," said the lieutenant. "Was it for to-morrow evening, sir?" "I thought so," said Serwyn. "And the curious thing about it was that the whole thing was done as quietly as possible. All you men went io work in silence without as much as a hurrah. And one of the boats brought me ashore and the other brought the admiral. And it was only after you had put the man on board the Harvester that you came back for the admiral at five o'clock in the morning, Benson." "And what about the boat as brought you, sir?" "I came back at twelve and went on board with them, after the fight, and while you were rowing Mr. Smith about the bay, cheering.him up." "Wa3 there anything else, sir?'!- "Nothing," said Selwyn, "only that I forget whether it came out. If it did. the men said it wee a game all of their own. And I thlnk-r-nq, I'm sure —that if any one got into trouble it paid him well, after all." " "Of dpurse It w^>ul<£ sir," said Benson warmly! "I wish 'it could Veally come off. You never know your luck", "And I think Mr. Smith doesn't," said Selwyn. "And when Benson went on yboard again %nd" ha<r** lent Confabulation with two boats' crews, there was a unanimous opinion among them that *Jr. Smith had piled his ship up with * vengeance when he ran against a British admiral. A'There ain'$. Oto be no , weeponjC •eald.'Beneeh^tubthln' worse'nor*iporo cuttln'' than a staysail 'ank as a \ knuckle-dujteri and even that I don't recommend. An odd stretcher or two aid the battles there will'do the ioo. And the word is siiemce, now and then." • * « ..'••'. ' . "Mum's the word," said the men. And like the children that they were, they wrought the whole ship'* company into a frenzy of excitement, by dropping hints about as heavy as a half-hundredweight on every one who. was not in the game. Had there been much longer to wait than twenty-four hours, they must have told, or burst. And If they had not burst, the others would have finally reached the truth by the process of exhaustion. * • • It was none o'clock on the following evening that the admiral went on shore to dine with the British consul. He told Benson that he might be later than eleven. And as Benson touched his cap he took the liberty of believing he might be as late as five in the Took Benson up-town with him. morning. And just about eleven Selwyn came ashore in another boat with papers which had to go to the admiral. "I shall be back in an hour, Thomas," said Selwyn. And the two coxs'us were left in command of the cutting out expedition. The whole business was nearly wrecked at the outset by the settlement of the question as to who was to be left in charge of the boats. Finally Thomas and Benson ordered two men to stay, and the defrauded men sat back and growled most horribly as the rest moved off towards Shanghai Smith's in loose order. "Look 'ere," said Billings to Graves as they were left alone, "it's hobvious one must stay with the boats; but one's enough, and on an hexpedition like this, horders ain't worth a damn. I'll howe you a quid, a whole quid, and my grog for a month if you'll be the man to stay." "No, I'll toss you, the same terms both sides." And the spin of coin sent Billings running after the rest. He was received by Benson with curses, but he stuck to the party all the same. "Very well, you report me! You know you can't," he said defiantly. "And I've give Graves a thick 'ua and my grog for a month to be let come." This awful sacrifice appealed even to Benson. "All right," he said. "But if I can't report you for this, I can the next time." "Next time be damned," cried Billings; " 'oo cares about next time, now?" And they hove in sight of Shanghai Smith's. (To be continued.) Japanese Funeral Rites. Old people in Japan prepare for death by visiting serines and interviewing Buddhist priests. When a person dies the priest selects a posthumous name (kaimes), and writes it on a slip of white paper on a tablet of unstained wood. The deceased person next lies in state for two days, when the head is shaven and the body dressed for interment in pure white, the costume being similar to that worn on festive occasions. The body is then placed in the coffin in a sitting position, the hands folded in prayer, and the vacant spaces being filled with tea leaves, incense, or vermilion. The night before the funeral is spent by the relatives in prayer, and next morning a procession is formed to the grave, everybody and everything displaying as mnch white as possible. The periods of mourning vary from fifty days of ki. or deep mourning, for a parent, during, which no business must be done, the razor abjured, and the grave visited daily, to* three days for cousins, while buku or lighter mourning is observed from ninety to seven days.

Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement It appeared on later conversation that Peruna has been used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says it is. The fact is that Peruna has overcome all opposition and has won its way to the nearti of the people. The natural timidity whidl so many people have felt abdut jgiving , ^ dorsements to any remedy is giving way* Gratitude and a desire to help others hat inspired thousands of people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore woul4 not have consented to such publicity. . Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so many men of national and international reputation have been witt* ing to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary remedy. No amount of advertising could have accomplished such a result Peruna has won on its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase oi location in the human body. That is why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements.

And He Had Wasted Time Trying to Find an Owner. In a theater recently a man down in 'one of the front rows spied on the floor a large hatpin with an amber top. Looking about him, h e saw that two women and their escorts had Just •at down. To one of the former he presented the pin. A shake o\ the head indicated that he had made a mistake. Then he. tried across the aisle. The women seemed to be interested. The pin was a curiosity and its amber of a unique carving. They hesitated, but the pin was handled back. Desperately, he began the jsearch anew. Two ladies unattended "seemed likely owners. To them he showed the pin. They took it and enjpyed its pattern. Just then the man ,felt a tug on his sleeve. It was his .wife and. she remarked: "Why are jyou showing my hatpin to strangers?" He, blushing, went over to the femin i n e pair and explained, "it's my hrife*s hatpin," he said, but in such [consciously guilty accents that the women handed' it back with doubting smiles.

DO YOU COUCH DON'T DELAY — --.pis BALSAM m m Well Remembered. • Valley City, N. Dak., Dec. 14.—Two years ago Mrs. Matilda M. Boucher of \this place suffered a great deal with a ' /dizziness in her head. She was cured of-this by a remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and has not been troubled isince. , Shortly afterwards she had a bad bilious attack, and for this she used Diamond Dinner Pills and was completely cured in a short time. In January, 1903. she bad an attack of Sciatica, of which she says: "I was almost helpless with the Sclr. tica, but remembering what Dodd's Kidney Pills and Diamond Dinner Pills had done for me before, I commenced a treatment of these medicines and in three weeks I was completely restored to health. I have great faith in these medicines, for they have been of so much benefit to me." Dodd's Kidney Pills are very popular in Barnes County, having made a great many splendid cures qf.

Here's another "peril" to keep Europe awake o* nights. J. C. Hummel of Hamburg, Pa., has whooping cough, at the age of 87. This is carrying the second childhood business to extremes. Oom Paul is so completely merged In oblivion that even the comparison of Colombian soldiers with Boers does not move him to reply. The State Graajr* Speak* At the concluding session of the State Grange, held In Lansing, by a unanimous Arte and practically without debate several reforms advocated by standing committees were adopted. The matter of primary elections was stated clearly and unequivocally and the vote on the resolution shows that the Grange demand it. Briefly stated, the desired reforms are: Complete ratification of last year's demand for primary election reform. The drafting of a primary bill by the State Grange. The enactment of the Torreus system of land titles. Prohibition of the sale of cigarettes. Regulation of the speed of automobiles on country roads. Election of drain commissioners at the polls. Election, of United States senators by direct vote. A reformation of the present plans regarding grange deputies. A bureau of information for members desiring to make sales or exchanges. A suitable grange headquarters at the state fair. • Good roads by virtue of national, state and township expenditures. More power to the arm of the state forestry commission. Standing committees of women In each grange to co-operate with the state committee. A grange cyclone insurance society. Optional biennial elections in subordinate granges. Public ownership of public utilities. Election of state tax. commissioners by popular vote. Appointment of a government official to guard against cruelty in the Chicago stock yards. Tlie Ptriaoa Route. in addition to the case of Mrs. Mary McKnlght, of Kalkaska, who is charged with having put her brother, his wife and babe out of the way by poison, came the sensation a t Owosso in which Mrs. Caroline Collins was suspected and aftyward charged with having polsonedSer hired man, George Leachman. Her*fxamination Is now in progress. Next come two more mysterious cases. Mrs. Katie Ludwlck, of Bronaon township, Branch county, Is suspected of having poisoned her husband, to whom she was married but three weeks ago. She denies giving him poison, or even buying it, but a Bronson druggist swears that she bought arsenic from him 10 days after the marriage. This is followed by the case of George Stewart, a farmer five miles from Big Rapids, whose death is held to be mysterious. His wife is alleged to have purchased strychnine while in Big Rapids with him on Monday. She admits buying the poison, and says she gave it to her husband at bis request to kill rats in the granary. Au investigation is in progress. Dreyfuss talks of reopening his case. The captain should understand that he struck twelve some time ago, and that no more need be said. Russia and Japan have agreed that there is enough good looting in fat old China for two, and there is no use in mussing up the scenery. When a woman can't make her husband stop smoking a pipe because it ruins the curtains the consolatjpn she has is that it is good for the rubber plant. The woman who puts her hat on before the play is finished is just about on a par with the chap who goes out between the acts to disguise his breath. I Li . A . — , - ' - The Chicago JanitressesV union'is half tickled to death because it has won the right to scrub. This is something that most women dodge when they can. , • * • ' We are told ^ot to worry over the small things of life, yet how can one help doing so when a flea gets to work on one in the presence of a stranger. There will be a total tplipae of tiie sun Aug. 30 next year, and the astronomers of Spain have forgivingly invited those of this country to come there and look at it. .First lessons in the school of journalism should be the writing of letters about the "expected" war between Japan and Russia. That reads like good stuff for beginners. Mrs. Lena Birse wants a divorce because, forsooth, her George can't play cards. Yet many there be that seek separation because their Georges can play. Again we ask, where do we get off? Elfflit More Arc Cnllrd. Monday eight more warrants wore issued as a result of Salsbury's testimony in the Grand Rapids water scanday for these accused ni'en:' George E. .Nichols, ex-statc senator, Ionia, for perjury. Gertie I C AifcefsTotttoncy, for por- JurV. • / ' . \ ' William V. McKnlStit, attorney, for .attempting subornation ef perjury. E. l>. Conger, editor and publisher of the Grand Rapids Herald, for conspiracy. Charles S. Bu'rch,'"general manager of the Grand Rapids Evening Press, -for conspiracy. J. Russel Thompson, former Evening Press reporter, for conspiracy. . Isaac Lamoreaux, former eity, cterk, for conspiracy. J. Clark Sproat, former manager of the'. Morning Democrat and Evening Post, for conspiracy. Several of the newly accused men in the above list appeared in police court and furnished bond for their reappearance for examiuation at a later date. The route of Paul Revere's famous ride is now obscured by a trolley road. It is evident that the great patriot was not sufficiently long-headed to warn the Colonials of all the calamities that were coming. Cleveland physicians are disappointed because they failed to restore a dead man sufficiently to make h i m live long enough to undergo an operation that might have been performed if he had not diei. The Seattle woman who loved a woman who was masquerading as a man, and attempted suicide when she could not marry her, has proven the truth of the saying that "The clothes do not make the man." A popular subscription will be started to purchase a monument for the grave of a Georgia man whose claim to fame and grat 'tude rests in the fact that h e i t r o t i 4>00 poems and never published on? of them. The legislative committee of the State Grange in session, in Lansing, made a report for consideration which contained these paragraphs, regarding primary elections: We recommend, therefore, that the grange, through its legislative committee and proper officers,-urge the nest legislature to pass a state primary election law providing foe the uouiina-* tlon of all officers, state, county and township, by direct vote of the members of their respective political parties. That nominations be made by petition, and not by fee. That the primaries of all parties be held at the same time and uuder the supervision and charge of the state, and at public expense. We*further recommend that the legislative committee prepare a bill for primary reform and present it to the next state grange to be approved by that body before going before our state legislature. Student Suicides. Russell McWUllanis, a member of the junior class, U. of M-, committed suicide Wednesday morning by shootlug himself through the heart with a 32-caliber revolver. Temporary insanity is said to have Deen the cause. McWilliams was 10 years old and a member of Sigma Alpha Epsllon fraternity. White Sutton, his roommate, heard the shot, and found McWilllaras dying in bed. The suicide was a com plete surprise and recalls the epidemic of student suicides that occurred at this time last year. McWilliams' father, mother, brother and sister live in Kansas City, and as far as can be learned it was not bad news from home that caused the suicide. For Primary' Reform. The Michigan State Association of Farmers' Clulw, in session on Wednesday in Lansing, adopted this unequivocal resolution on primary election reform: ''.•• "Resolved, t h a t we demand that the next legislature shall not only introduce, but shall properly enact, a primary election law, giving the people of this state the right to directly nominate township, county and state officers, and to punish with effective penalties the corrupt use of money at all elections." "We will put forth our utmost endeavor to make our influence In the matter of primary elections felt In the next legislature," said N. A. Clapp, of Oakland county, the newly elected president of' the State Association of -Farmers' clubs, after the reform had prevailed so decisively. Mrs* McKalght In Jaekaon. On Friday Mrs. McKnight, who was convicted of murder in Cadillac and received a life sentence, was taken to the Jackson penitentiary. It was evident from "her appearance that she nnd not rested much as she looked haggard and sad. There was a large crowd at the depot, including her sister, Mrs. Chalker, who has been her constant companion through her trouble. The general impression is that Mrs, Mc- Knlght will not live long, as she pines and starves herself. She Is the first person to be sentenced for life from Wexford circuit court, and her*s was the firat murder trial ever held in Cadillac. STATE NEWS IN BR I EST.

We hadn't thought of presents—why, the most of us never had hung A stockin* up at the chimney-side even when we were young, It was only a bit of-foolln', and a part of our ev'nin* plan Was a Santy Claus, and Dumphy was our only family man. We dug him out of his blankets and hauled him out to the light, —His eyes were red with tears he had shed, but now he wanted to fight, And screaming a string of curses, he struck as he raved and swore, Floored Joe Lacrosse and the swampln's boss, and announced he was ready for more. But no one was 'specially anxious ard we 'backed away, because Good will to men was not jest then in the eye of our Santy Claus. The boss was a-thlnkln' to swat him, but allowed he had better not, For 'twaa trouble bad that Dumphy had, whatever it was he'd got. So back in his bunk he butted—unsociable kind of a goat— While our pryln' cook was takln* a look at a letter that dropped from his coat. And screaming a string of curses, he it ruck as he raved and swore, Floored Joe Lacrosse and the swampins' hose, and announced he was ready for more. There's sometimes family man, a grief for ye, And it's wicked y'd better believe, When ye find that there's trouble piled heavy and double, On the poor little home that ye leave, There are sharks who are hungry when money la due. And a man is away in the woods with a crew; Shiverin' babies and heart-broken wife Don't hinder the Shylocks who're out with a knife. And the tear-spotted letter that cook choked and read Was writ from a poorhouse—and "baby was dead." One after the other, we forty-flve men, Kissed where the kisses were marked by her pen, Kissed on the smooches of little ones' smacks, —We lonesome old baches of peavies and patches, Bills, Jimmies and Jacks o' the Ax. Boss he fair, square blubbered—cook he blubbered, too, There wasn't a face in all the place but glistened with tears like dew. And Joe throwed galley-est'ard the duds the crew had hung, For we knowed that joke to Dumphy spoke of empty stockln's hung; —We all of us saw a pictur' of youngsters wonderin' why Old Santy Claus, like other friends, had passed that poorhouse by. We looked to Dumphy's comer, where he curled with buried head, But his grief and tears stopped eyes and ears to all we did or said.

Drama of Loyalty» Dramatic entertainments at Wlndso? j differ from those at Sundriugham. Ah the court ceremonials are enforced, and the performance is one of state. In front of the stage, and screening the orchestra, is a superb bank of palms, ferns and flowers. At 9 or 10 o'clock the court enter the magnificent room and talce their pmces, the men in full uniform and official dress. Soon afterward the orchestra plays the national anthem, the assembly stands, the doors are thrown open, and, with the announcement, "Their Majesties," the royal party enters. The court remains standing until the King and Queen are seated in their armchairs in the front row. The curtain then promptly rises. At Windsor etiquette forbids any enthusiastic demonstration on the part of the audience; applause and laughter must be well modulated, and follow only in the wake of Ihe King. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Sandals For Princess. When King Victor Emanuel decreed that his little daughter, Princess Yolande, should wear sandals which are now so much worn by our little peole, Iris people were properly shocked. " Fancy a little princess having her bare feet protected only by an arrangement of brown leather soles and straps, and of actually going barefooted on the seashore! Even the Queen disapproved and would like to have kept her daughter's little toes covered with openwork silk socks and white kid shoes, like those of other little folks of exalted rank. Princess Yolande's opinion on the subject is not recorded, but doubtless she approved of her father's choice pf footgear for her. ff; SENTENCE SERMONS. *. • J» You cannot win souls in your sleep. Back-Beaters soon become backsliders, *' ^ .,. He who entertains envy iBTitef]•enmity. The Bible is a time card and not a ticket. Our habits here determine our ha,bit there. Wishes and not words are the true prayers. Silent sermons are often the most successful. Temptation is the devil's form ot Injunction. That which is affected can never be "effective. The fever of fanaticism is not the fever of faith. A negligent love can easily become a diligent hate. What you pray for you ought to be willing to pay for. One saint on a street car is worth a dozen in a chariot. A friend i s a man with whom you can go camping twice. God does not cease to be because he stands behind the scenes. You cannot drive a tenpenny presept with a tackhammer practice. The world needs a religion that la a passion rather than a pastime. He cannot be fitted spiritually who is too lazy to fit himself mentally. Licking a boy to make him go to Sunday school is a first class way of leading him to the devil.—Chicago Tribune. •,.•;;.»: i .

A man who carries his money and his watch la his left hand will never lose a penny nor a timepiece in a holdup. The precaution, which is a perfect one. is so simple that few people have thought of it. Yet it has the sanction of the police, and its efficacy has been proved In more than one ln- Itance. As soon as the citizen is confronted by the holdup man he will, If he has his money and his watch in his hand, throw them on the nearest lawn or Into, the ditch. No highway robber has time enough to stop to look for either. There is no sense in carrying valuables In the right hand, because the first move of every accomplished holdup man is to grab his victim by the right arm. This movement Is made to prevent the victim from reaching for a revolver. The man who tries to draw a re volver while a holdup mnn is In front of him takes his life In his hands. If a citizen carries a revolver at all he should carry it in his right hand while In a dangerous street. His money and his watch should always be in his left Then after he has thrown them away ind the robber has departed discomfited the victim can take his time about finding his property. This simple plan discounts all the revolvers, sword canes, slungshots and brass knuckles ever Invented and has the added beauty that It oaa be employed by a woman as well as by a man. To throw the parse or the watch away takes but a fraction of a second, and that isn't long—Chicago Tribute. Tonight At opera boose. Lecture by D ntdn Growl Under Auspices of lecture course.
