Protocol, ALL HOSTILITIES HAVE CEASED President McKlntey Iwmed a Proolvma* tlon ImintHllatuly After the of the Peace 1'apern — rrovUiun* the Protocol la Outline. With a simplicity in keeping witfr republican institutions the war, which* has raged between Spain and the* United States for a period of three months and 22 days, was quietly terminated when Secretary o< State Day, for tha- United States, and M. Cambon, ambassador of France, acting for Spain, m the presence of President Me- Kinley, signed a protocol w-hich will form the basis of a definite treaty of peace. As this etwemony was concluded the President requested the hand of the ambassador and through him returned thanks to the sister republic of France for the exercise oi her good otiices in bringing about peace. He also thanked the ambassador personally for the part he has played in the negotiations, and the latter replied inappropriate 'terms. As a further mark of his disposition, l*res;- dent MeKinley called for the proclamation which he had caused to be drawn up, suspending hostilities, and signed it in the presence of M. Cambon, The procotol provides as follows: 1.

That the United States irad Spain will each appoint not more1 than five commissioners to negotiate and conclude a treaty of peace. The commissioners are to meet at Paris--not later than Oct. 1. C. On the signing of the protocol, hostilities will be suspended",, and notice to that effect will be given us noon as possible by each governui/ent to the vnmmandf rs of itjs military and naval forces.

An "Mr. Jones," The «r«at Powder Maker Boa K tit All Thore Was In Eagianil mad Cb»rtf«d tho Uov«rn* meat Mothlay. On tho banjtt of the Brandywine, in Delaware, are the great Dupont powder mills. Established In 1802 by the French Royalist, Bleuthere T. Dupont de Nemours, who found Republican France an uncongenial home, they have grown to be the greatest mills in the world for the making of explosives. At the time of the civil war the Duponts were, as they are today, powdermakers for the United States government. In 1801 the secretary of war sent for the Duponts, and La Motto Dupont, one of the heads of the firm, went to Washington in reply to the summons. "Are you prepared to furnish a very large amount of gunpowder?" said the secretary of war. "That depends on our obtaining saltpetre," was the answer. "The saltpetre of the world is mined in India, of course, under the control of the British government, and the markets are in London and Liverpool." The secretary of war was startled. If England should prove unfriendly during the course of the war which was opening, the .'saltpetre market would, of course, be closed to the United States. "The government must buy a larse amount at'once," he said. United States cannot go into the market and buy saltpetre at any reasonable price—indeed, it might not be able to buy it at all; but the Duponts can get it without exciting comment." "Will you go to England and buy It—buy all there is?" Mr. Dupont agreed to go, and he and the secretary of war talked a few moments longer; they made a few figures, and the powder man was provided with letters of credit on the Rothschilds. On the next steamer he sailed for England and presented himself with letters of introduction to the Rothschilds. "Very sorry, Mr. Dupont, your letters of credit have not arrived"— and he was bolitely bowed uot. He next presented letters of introduction to Baring Brothers, the London correspondents of the Duponts. One of the firm, a Mr. Archibald, cordialy received the powder manufacturer. "Very happy to meet you, Mr. Dupont; we have never had the pleasure of meeting a Dupont, although we have done business with the firm for fifty years." "I am very glad to meet you," said the American, "for I am in need of money." "We shall be most happy to furnish you with all that you require. About how much will you need?" Mr. Dupont looked meditatively at the floor for a moment, and Mr. Archibald looked with some curiosity at his American customer. A homely man was this powder-maker; high cheekbones, a square chin, covered with a thin, uneven bristly beard, spc:iacles on his deep, kind eyes: a man who somewhat resembled Lincoln in the character of his face. Mr. Archibald thought he might wnut several hundred pounds. 1 he American had perhaps found London a little more expensive than in his western simplicity, he had supposed. Mr. Dupont, looking up, said: ""I shall want £500,000, and I want it right away." Mr. Archibald was .amazed—only British phlegm prevented bis exhibiting his astonishment. "Was this American a new Monte Cristo! "By 'right away,' do you mean now?" he managed to ask. "T -nean in twenty-four hours; that Is wflat we call 'right away1 in the United States." "You will pardon me if I consult my partners—it is a good deal or money." Mr. Dupont admitted that it was a good deal of money, and he took his hat. "By the way. when you send worn to my hotel, ask for 'Mr. Jones'; I am registered under that, name." Mr. Dupont. having no money to bvy saltpetre, went sieht>ecing arid ?pe:u the evening at the theater. Defovo ':c was cut of bed the next morning Mr. Archibald calied. Fie had called t1;*? night before and found Mr. Duj/v.vt out. The Barings would let Mr. Dupont have the money. Mr. Archibald was hardly gone when an agent of the Rothschilds hastened In with profuse apologies. The letters of credit had arrived: they came ou the game steamer with Mr. Dupont. but were delayed in transmission. i Mr. Dupont now had money to burn • (this it not altogether slang), and he i set out to buy saltpe:re. He proposed to buy not only the large lots, but to buy them all. He went first to Liverpool, and found the saltpetre in the hands of four dealers. He was a "Mr. Jonet," who waated saltpetre. He called on the head of one firm; the dealer had so many hundred bags. 300 pounds to a bag, so much per pound. "Mr. Jones" bargained like a cautious man, who wanted to get his money's worth. He would call again. After visiting the other three dealers, he went back to the first, bought the stock and presented his check. "We don't know Mr. Jones." "Wire to Barings' or Rothschilds'." The reply came: "Mr. Jones has credit for any amount." He bought the stack of all the dealers, and each man hugged himself with delight because he had sold his saltpetre, until he had discovered that there was none In the market, and the price had advanced; therefore the balance of his days he cursed the tricky Vankee. Meanwhile "Mr. Jones" had bought all the saltpetre in London at what wa3 virtually his own price. When he came to the last dealer, however, some rumor had preceded him, and the dealer said: "I have 500 bags, and it Is not for sale." "Ah!" said "Mr. Jones," "you are keeping it for a curio. Good morning." CALM AFTER STORM. Washington ' Qalcltly Settle* Down to Pursuits of Peace. Washington: The White House, the war department und the navy depart* ment have resumed their usual qni* tude, a condition which has not pre* vailed since the Maine was blown up in Havana harbor, February 15. The busy, warlike attitude haa entirely disappeared and Washington has settled down to a peace bauis. The President believe3 that the moqt serious problem which the peace commission will be called upon to deal with is the Philippines. Before the commission assembles it is hoped tho affairs of Cuba and Porto Rico will tee found in such process of adjustment & to leave little for the commission to .consider under that head. The faet that the Philippines will present ihfa difficult problem has caused the administration to give it a great deal of care* ful attention. Several suggestions have been maclc as to what shall b& done. It is believed, however, that the administration and the commission) will be greatly influenced by the reports which Admiral Dewey and Qea. This great supply of saltpetre bought, Merritt will make on the subject. the next thing was to hire ships to carry it to America. He found American vessels In Liverpool which would undertake to transport it, a matter of some risk, for saltpetre was contraband of war. The loading began; everything moved slowly. Mr. Dupont was exasperated at the tedious delays, for all the means of transportation moved deliberately in England. At last the vessels were ready, and he informed the harbor master that the ships would sail at high^tide that §Yening. The_; "fiarEor master found it impossible to have the papers ready—it would take two or three days. There was red tape here and red tape there. Mr. Dupont was new in a fever of impatience. Every hour increased the danger of me government finding out that all the saltpetre in England was about to go over the sea; another day's delay and the ships might not sail at all. He pressed the harbormaster for the clearance papers. The polite official explained that it would cost him his position if it was known that he had violated the rules. "And how much is your position worth?" "Three hundred pounds a year." Mr. Dupont looked at the harbor master attentively—he was a man of over sixty years, Then he put his hands in his pockets and looked out the office window, which bristled with masts of all nations. Now, Mr. Dupont knew his Dumas well, and at that method he was turning over in his mind the method of the Count of Monte Cristo used to rid a garden of dormice which ate his peaches. "I should like to draw a check for I2.QCQin exchange forthepapera,'*hesaid. The ships sailed on the next tide. When Mr. Dupont reported to the secietary of war there was a love feast in the office of the war department. After the cengratulations were over the secretary said: "How much do we owe you, Mr. Dupont?" The powdermaker named the amount of his expenses,to which he added $15,- 000 to the harbormaster. "Put what charge do you make for your services in the negotiation?" Then this Franco-American, who mi^ht have demanded a princely sura for his extraordinary services, bowed to the jccretary and replied: '"I have had the distinguished honor cf helping the government; I wish nothing further." There is a sequel to this story. When the v.ar wa; over Mr. Dupont, realizing the tremendous risk run by ihe government in relying upon native saltpeter, set himself to indenting an artificial substitute, and hereafter.with mountains of nitrate of soda in Chili and potash everywhere, the United States will never be in such straits again. In 1SS1 this distinguished powdermaker fell a victim to his enthusiasm for his business, and while experimenting with hiph explosives, was killed in an explosion. LoveMck SualU. A scientist has been patiently watching the snails in one of the large Lon- (!•:•: :•;•.' ;;e::*. and lias discovered the rue (Ms by v.\iich they show their affection far each other. "The snail," savs ii:e scicunst, "carries its eyes in telesforie watch-towers. They are in the t:ue tips cf its horns, and as soon another snail approaches these .f are drawn in, and the little ani v/aits for his lady love to get clos> before surprising her. The emo tlon:l natures of snails, as far as love a ad afToction are concerned, seem to le hiehly developed, and they show plainly by thoir actions when courting the tenderness they feel for one another. If another snail comes along they immediately retire to the shelter of a dead leaf; or hide behind a paling. I have noticed, too, a love-sick snail fetching dainty bits of green -or his sweetheart from different parts of the garden." "**ils scientist also declares that snails have a manner of putting their beads together that U not i:n'.::.? the general mode of kisaisg. more troops will be sent to Gen. Merritt unless he asks for them. I t is believed at the war department that the 16,000 men now there an? sufficient to garrison Manila and the ground, whieji the United States for the present will occupy. The final determination as to the government of Porto Kico and the settlement of the government of Cuba are problems, but the impression prevails that these islands will become quite rapidly Americanized, and every encouragement for them to do so_\y_ill be giveTarnPorto Tlico=wTlI be under anilitary control for the present. Cuba will be similarly governed, but it is probable that American reforms in the matter of government w 11 be such that the people of Cuba will see the advantage of becoming annexed to the United States. There has bcon little doubt about soon settling the transfer of Porto Rico, and the reception which, the American troops have received in that island is a justification for the belief. Porto Rico will be treated as an American possesMon. Military postoffices will be established at once wherever troops arc stationed and a t such other points as may be demanded by the interests of Americans and the people of the island, if the present offices are not available. A similar course will be taken in Cuba, but this is likely to be delayed, as the immediate removal of the Spanish and the occupation by the United States is not expected All of the troops that were with Gen. Shafter in the Santiago campaign will be out of Cuba by Aup-ust L'5 at the latest. Gen. Shafter will accompany them to Montauk Point. There will remain at Santiago five regiments of imtmnres to do garrison ttutyT" Gen. Miles has about 15,000 men in Porto Rico. They will be sufiicient for the occupation of the island and perhaps more than are needed after the Spanish evacuation. The remainder of the troops will remain in the various camps to which they have been aligned for the pre-ent, though something may be done looking towards diminishing1 the number when it becomes apparent that they lire no longer needed. The government will dispose of the ! transports that have been iu use us fast i as they can be reiea-erl and are no longer required for service. All vessels of the navy that can be spared from service in the West Indies will be ordered to ports in the states, where the men will bo :?iven brief holidays. The battleships of the fleet will be put in dry dock as soon as possible and undergo such repairs as may be necessary. There is .scarcely a vessel of the navy [ that does not need docking. The auxj iliary vessels of the navy which will not be used fpr the permanent navy will be disposed, of as soon as they go out of commission.

At a distance of only 600 yards above the earth It will Illuminate a circular area below 500 yardb in diameter to the brightness of day. It is no longer correct form tor the ultra-swell girls of Nt w York to extend in greeting the right hand. She must offer her left to be in line with the very latest vogue. Not to be propared for this sudden eccentricity o: fashion its most embarrassing. To look perplexed when the left hand is outstretched to you in welcome is ;ui unpardonable breach of etiquette, and, in addition to taia, not to be familiar with the new handshake stamps y.ou at oner as outside society's exclusive circle. In order to assure a graceful srece.,-. the new handshake must be practic* .1 long and patiently in private bot\:if ta left hand is proffered in public. Fo; there is no denying that it is unnatural, even if it does bear the stamp o\ fashion. The young persons who liav> adopted the society handshake have also made a change in their manner ^t' walking.

' Thrifty Shopkeeper, Mrs Bargain-Fiend—I wonder how those little one-cent shops ever came pose to use up what's left of the dollar after the 99-cent stores get through with it.—Toronto News. The Uattle of Saratoga. Saratoga, where Burgoyne's surrender took place, is counted by Sir Edward Creasy among the fifteen decisive battles of the world. By this verdict the American victory comes into a very small and very memorable company. The world's history is full of battles and sieges, and among this almost countless host only fifteen are deemei! worthy, by an accomplished historian, to take rank as decisive in the widest sense, an", ae affecting the destiny of mankind. By what title does Saratoga rise to this dignity? Certainly not from the numbers engaged, for they were comparatively small. The victory was comHe'.r. it is true, but an army of 10,- 000 nvc:.i h;;s been beitten and has surrendnr-<; many tinif> without deciding anything, not even the issue of a campaign. From the military point of view the blow was a heavy one to England, but she has suffered greater losses than this in her career of conquest and still has come out victorious. —The fact is that the s;£aiiieaiice_ai- Saratoga lies less in what it actually was, than in what it proved and what it brought to pass. It showed the fighting quality of the American people, and demonstrated that they were able to rise up around a powerful and disciplined force and hunt it down to ruin and surrender. The prospect of conqueri;)" a people capable of such fighting, defended by three thousand miles of ocean and backed by the wilderness, was obviously slight. Saratoga meant, further, that the attempt to control the Hudson, and thus divide the states, had definitely failed. The t-norrr.ous advantage of a united country for military purposes had heen won, and the union Of the new states, which, physically as well as politically, was essential to victory, had been secured, and, once ?r cured, this meant ultimate eucce.-=. Last, and most important of all. the surrender of Uurgnyne and the Utter wreck of his campr.isr. convinced Europe of these very facts, or, in other words, as^uvt-.l foreign powers that the revolted colonies v.v,uld win in the end. —From "The ?tory of the Revolution," by 'Senator H.

SHAPELY HANDS. •Iroplfi K.\t>r«U« to Develop u Supplo Wrlnt au<l <;riu«t<ful Arm, In this day of tru-^rvin& and cmbroideriug graceful hands and a n u s ait more noticeable and more to be di'shvd than ever, says a contributor to UUJ Woman's Home Companion. Whether hands be shapely or not, they at least can be soft, white aiul graceful. Cavi and good toilet unities give the llv.-t two, exercise gives the last. Raise tin1 arras toward Hie front as it n i n n ^ were tied about the wrists, lifting them. When they have reached shouku r height, bring them slowly down, \\\r hands rising as the wrist is dcpre-.-^i;'., just aa if the pressure of air apainsL ilu palms forced them up and sli^luly straightened the lingers. This it* known as the simple feather movement. If. practiced frequently it is very ell'n acious in making the arms and hands move deliberately and evenly instead of in a hasty, jerky fashion. With Unarms bent at the elbows and raised a little from the body, wave the hands toward each other, making the wrists lead, then draw them away. The movement somewhat suggests the manner of pulling candy, and soon shows grace of the wrists and hands, Arinur-Fterclnie Projectile*. Much interest has been excited by the armor-piercing power given to steel projectiles by the addition of a cap of soft metal, steel, iron, or copper. Tht regular projectile terminated In a point. A cylinder of soft.steel one-half the diameter of the projectile, and about as high as it is thick, has an approximately conical hole made in IU cud, extending about two-thirds through it. A small cavity contains a little grease as a lubricant. This ia fastened over the point' of the projectile, It seems to support the point, preventing it from crushing, and enables it to pierce hardened face armor of the highest resisting power. The projectile goes through the armor p.late almost without deformation. Railroad Guide. Brand Trunk Railway System. Departure of Trains ia Pi lulifluct Muy 1HW. Thoxo During ItnHtoiiluus.

Then It attacked Texa« fever, and haa accomplished much in making a stand against this disease, both by bringing to light the true nature of the disease and by making and enforcing quarantine laws suitable to the requirements. At last it has begun a warfare on hog cholera. It la true that this warfare has already beea carried on for several year* with little result, but there begins to appear some rifts in the darkne.-iH. Quarantining hog cholera has been tried to some extent, but hus proved very unsatisfactory. The task has proved too great fur the resources at hand. Efforts have been made to Inspect cars in which hogs are carried and to have th/m thoroughly disinfected, but the work has been but poorly done, and there are so many hogs constantly being .carried that a car once disinfected suon become* again a matter for relnspcotion. In fact, If the quarantining were to be anything like effective it would require a vast army of officials. Bo the officials of the Bureau of Animal Industry announce that they hope but little at this time from any efforts at quarantine. The disease is BO widespread that the germs are well-nigh omnipresent, at least in the Prairie States. Ultimately, the offieials believe, the quarantining and inspections wLH be effective, but this will be after the disease has been greatly reduced by other _ -means—Tim—<*£k^ a ^ a n s t o be &m~ A C o m m o n Weed.

CAD WELL, Pinckney, Mich. ployed is the injection into the blood of the hogs of a serum prepared by the government. The serum is prepared by inoculating horses or cows with the germs of the hog cholera and repeating the inoculations with gradually increasing doses until the animals have attained a high degree of immunity. The blood of such animals injected under the skin is believed to have the power^of curing sick hogs and of preventing well ones from becoming infected. Unless the blood is to be used immediately after It Is drawn, which is not often the case, it is allowed to coagulate or clot, and the liquid portion or serum is separated and preserved for future use. Th« bureau has been diligently working for several years to bring the serum treatment of hog cholera to the highest degree of efficiency. The most important point is, of course, to secure a serum with a high protective and \ curativ'e power. This is by no means an easy task. The officials say that there is no danger connected with the use of this serum, as there are no hog cholera i germs in it. It is hoped that the exj rjeriments planned for this year may ! result in much increase of knowledge j on the value of the treatment. We 1 have had a great many remedies ad- Toeated for the - ettrhtf?of hog eholera, but. up to the present time, all have proved delusive. Sanitary measures have accomplished much, but we have not been able to find a medicine that will take a sick hog nnd cure the disease with any certainty. If th<-> government succeeds it will revolutionize hog raising and gradually decrease the price of pork to the consumer. Cause* of Denth.

A lovely frook of thin pr:iy woo] stuff Is mounted over a transparency of old turquoise and trimmed with yellow lace and touches of coral A pretty ornament which may be worn with this gown is the long watch chain, or lorgnette made of small coral be:uis, the irregular beads that children used to wear. These have not been seen in any of the jewelers' shops, but long chains of all kinds are modish, and for the sake of possessing a pretty variety it might be well to hunt up these 'forgotten of childhood.

It Js a little strange that many ralsera of hogs seem to think that dirt does not affect the health of the hog. By dirt we mean filth. We have visited farms where the hog runs were simply reeking with slimy filth, and the odor from them such that every warm wind Mowing from them made their vicinity unendurable. This has become so much the custom that creameries and cheese factories insist that no hog runs shall be in their vicinity, aud even the shippers of milk Insist that there .shall be no hog run near the plane where the shipping station in located. But we have seen hogs kept otherwise. We have seen them running in clean fields and eating clean food, burrowing when they desired to in clean soil. In such conditions there is no odor, nothing objectionable, and seldom any disease. We believe that were all hogs kept in proper cleanliness and mature animals used for breeding, the terrible disease of hog cholera would soon be BO reduced in importance that we would suffer little from it. Besides, it is without a question that hogs ao kept grow more rapidly than those allowed to live among stenches. • * * Among the most filthy places is frequently the stagnant pond in which the animals are supposed to cool themselves, and the water of which they drink. Who can doubt that this foul, warm, stagnant water soon becomes filled with disease germs of the most malignant character. It is through carejesaness that most of these ponds exist. If the hogs are to be allowed _a_ccess_to water j t .should be a running iBrbok" or pond that renews itself constantly. It is not a wonder that hogs having access to a slough filled with dirty water and filth should get sick. It is rather a wonder that any of them should have such constitutions that they are able to stand the ordeal. Without doubt many diseases other than cholera are due to these water-' disease traps. £H$patrtt# KVKl'.lf nii.'HSDAV >M'1M-Ni.i BY FRANK I..

What defense could Uncle Sam put tip if Spain sued for damages for giving ncr imprisoned troops Indigestion?

From I Samuel, 14:4, M Follows? MTh«*o W M m Shitrp Rook on One Side, and » Sharp ttook on the Other"—Scattering of the PhilUttnoa. siders this a very cold deal. Spain has a new explosive called daza with which it is hoped to accomplish wonders. It is projected in the form of a rocket and is guaranteed to sink anything from a rowboat to an island. It Is a sad story that comes from Spearfish, S. D., to the effect that the late Mrs. De Ledeboer died of a broken heart, produced by grief over her son going to the front with the Dakota troops. The Dakota contingent was sent to Manila to support Dewey, and Mrs. Ledeboer feared that her boy would never return. None but the mothers can ever know how their heart strings were pulled when their boys shouldered muskets and marched away under old glory to meet such fate as might be decreed to them. But the boys will come home one of these days, and then how proud the mothers will be of them. In the opinion of Carlos S. Fox, former United States vice-consul at Santiago, the surrender of that stronghold means the resumption of business, with good chances for wideawake, active business men, who grasp the situation* early to reap the greatest benefits. He says that, except a match factory in Santiago, there aro no manufacturing plants in eastern Cuba. Everything the people wear, eat and drink comes from other countries. This being the case, there will be a first-class opportunity for nil manufacturing enterprises. The land, which is fertile, but 60 far has not been properly tilled, is well adapted to raising coffee, sugar, tobacco and cattle, which, according to Mr. Fox. could be sent to the United States without causing competition with home products. In the interior the land abounds with mahogany, cedar and other kind3 of timber. Concluding, the vice-consul aays that a railroad is needed from Santiago to Havana, a distance of about 400 mihs. This would greatly develop the country. The latest reports from the Arctic gold fields indicate a decided change ol sentiment among the luiners in favor of seeking their gold on the American side of the line. Such a revulsion was to be expected and the idea is to be commended. The Klondike is not the >nly gold region in the Yukon valley. There is every reason to believe that there are just as rich, deposits in tbe Alaskan streams aft in those of the northwest territory, and they can be prospected and worked under much more liberal restrictions. The fact that the Klondike output of gold has fallen somewhat below what even the most conservative expected is in large part due to the needlessly heavy tax laid on mining enterprises by the Canadian government. The fact that the government has collected a tax of $800,000 on $7,000,000 is bound to have its deterrent effect upon the full development of the country. There is reason to believe that the Canadian authorities have overreached themselves in this matter, and the marked movement that has now begun toward Alaskan streams * promises soon to prove that Canada's loss will be our gain. Forty Mile creek, which was the original Yukon gold field, Is being worked again, and it Is just as reasonable to expect that new and richer strikes will be made on our side of the line as on the other. American prospectors will do well in future to keep this fact in mind and locate their claims where they can work them without exorbitant taxation. The cruel army of the Philistines must be taken and scattered. There is just one man, accompanied by his body-guard, to do that thing. Jonathan is the h«ro of the scene. 1 know that David cracked the skull of the giant with a few pebbles well slung, and that 300 Gideonites scattered ten thousand Amalekitea by the crash of broken crockery; but here 1B a more wonderful conflict. Yonder are the Philistines on the rocks. Here is Jonathan with his bodyguard in the valley. On the one side is a rock called Bozez; on tho other side is a rock called Seneh. These two were as famous in olden times as in modern times are Plymouth Rock and Gibraltar. They were precipitous, unscalable and sharp.B Between these two rocks Jonathan must make his ascent The day comes for the scaling of the height. Jonathan, on his hands and feet, begins the ascent. With strain, and slip and bruise, I suppose, but still on and up, first goes Jonathan and then goes his bodyguard. Boaez on one side, Seneh on the other. After a sharp tug and push, and clinging, 1 see the head of Jonathan above the hole in the mountain; and there is a challenge, and a fight, and a supernat- Jonathan and Ms bodyguard, drive back and drive down the Philistines over the rocks, and open a campaign which demolishes the enemies of Israel. I suppose that the overhanging and overshadowing rocks on either side, did uot balk or dishearten Jonathan or his bodyguard, but only roused and filled them with enthusiasm as they went up. "There was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side.' My friends, you have been, or aro now, some of you, in this crisis of the text. If a man meets one trouble he can go through with it. He gathers all his energies, concentrates them on one point, and in the strength of God or by his own natural determination, goes through it. But the man who has trouble to the right of him, and trouble to the left of him, is to be pitied. Did either trouble come alone, he might endure it, but two troubles, two disasters, two overshadowing misfortunes are Bozez and Seneh. God pity him! "There is a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side." In thia crisis of the text is that man whose fortune and health fail him at the same time. Nine-teuths of all our merchants capsize in business before they come to forty-five years ot age. There is some collision in commercial circles, and they stop payment. It seems as if every man must put his name on the baek of a note before he learns what a fool a man is who risksall his own property on the prospect that some man will tell the tri^h. It seems as if a man must have a large amount of unsalable goods on his own shelf before he Iearn3 how much easier it is to buy than to sell. It seems; as if every man must be completely burned out before he learns the importance of always keeping fully insured. It seems as if every man must be wrecked in a financial tempest before he learns to keep things snug in case of a sudden euroclydon. When the calamity does come it is awful. The man goes home in despair, and he tells his family, "We'll have to go to the poor-hcuse." He takes a dolorous view of everything. It seems as if he never could rise. But a little time passes, and he saya, "Why, I am not so badly off after all; I have my family left." Before the Lord turned Adam out of Paradise, he gave him Eve, so that when he lost Paradise he could stand it. Permit one who has never react but a few novels In his lite, and wiio has not a great deal of romance in his composition, to say, that if, when a man's fortunes fail, he has a good wife —a good Christian wife—he ought not to 5e despondent. "Oh," ypu say, "that only increases the embarrassment, since you have her also to take care of." You are an ingrate, for the woman as often supports the man as the man suppor s he woman. The man may bring all the dollars, but the woman generally brings the courage and the faith in God. Well, this man of whom I am speaking looks around, and he finds his family is left, and he rallies, ami the light comes to his eyes and the smile to his face, and the courage to hia heart. In two years he is quite over !t. He makes his financial calamity the firat chapter In a new era of prosperity. He met that one trouble—conquered it. He sat down for a little while under the grim shadow of the rock Bozez; yet he soon rose, and began, like Jonathan, to climb. But how often is It th.it physical ailment comes with financial embarrassment! When the fortune tailed it broke the man's spirit. His nerves were shattered. His brain was Btunnod. 1 cuu yhow you hundreds of men iu our cities whose fortune and heaitk failed at the same time. They came prematurely to the staff. Their hand trembles with incipient paralysis. They never saw a well day Bince the hour when they called their creditors together for a compromise. If such men are impaTient, and peculiar, and Irritable, excuse them. They had two troubles, either one of which they could have met successfully. If, when the health went, the fortune had been retained, it would not have been so bad. The man could have bought the very best medical advice, and he could have had the very best attendance, and long lines of carriages would have stopped at the front door to Inquire as to his welfare. But poverty on the one side and sickness on the other are Bozez and Seneh, and they interlock their shadows, and drop them upon the poor man's way. , God help him! "Then* is a sharp rock on the one side and a sharp rock on the other side." :, * * * Now, a certain amount of persecution rouses a man's defiance, stirs his biood for magnificent battle, and makes him fifty times more a man than he would have been without the persecution. So it was -with the great Reformer when he said, "I will not be put down; I will be heard." And so It was with Millard, the preacher, In the time of Louis XI. When Louis XI. sent word to him that unless he stopped preaching in that style he would throw him into the river, he plied, 'Tell the king that I will reach heaven sooner by water than he will reach it by fast .horses." A certain amount of persecution is a tonic and inspiration, but too much of it, and too "long c onTTnu&T,"b~&Sbmie¥'TKeTocTt Berzez" throwing a dark shadow over a man's life. What is he to do then? Go home, you say. Good aCvice, that. That is just the place for a man to go when the world abuses him. Go home. Blessed be God for our quiet and sympathetic homes! But there is many a man who lias the reputation of having a home when he has none. Through uiuMnkingness or precipitation there are many matches mado that ought never to have been mai'.o An officiatn g priest cannot alom unite a couple. The Lord Almigiity must proclaim banns. There are many homes in which there is z^ sympathy, and no happiness, and no good cheer. The clamor of the battle may not have been heard outside, but God knov.-s, notwithstanding all the playing of tho "Wedding March," and all the odor of the orange blossoms, and the benediction of the officiating pastor, there haa been no marriage. So sometimes men have awakened to find on one side of them the rock of persecution, and on the other side of them the rock of domestic infelicity. What shall such a ime do?—fftj—as Jonathan did—climb. there are s.ai d i.ii.. eon the rock or bereavement on tho one side and the rock of destitution on the other! Bozos and Seneh interlocking their shad-> owe and dropping them upon he^mls* erable way. "There is a sharp rock OB the one etde, and a sharp rock on the, other aide." What are such to do? 8omehow, let them climb up into the heights of the glorloiiH promise: "Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive and let thy widows trust in me." Or get up into the- herghts ©f that other glorious promise: "The Lord pre- Berveth the stranger, and relieveth the widow and the fatherless." O, ye sewing women, on starving wages! O, ye widows, turned cut from the once beau* tlful homo! O, ye female teachers, kept on niggardly Btipend! 0, ye despairing women, seeking in vain foi\ work, wandering along the docks, and thinking to throw yourselves into the river last night! O ye women of weal; nerves and-aching sides, and short breath, and broken heart, you need something more than human sympathy; you need the sympathy of God. Climb tip into his arms. He knows tt all, and He loves you more than father or mother, or husband ever could or ever did; and, instead of sitting down, wringing your hands in despair, you had better begin to climb. There are heights of consolation for you, though now. "ihere is a sharp rock on one side, and a sharp rock on the other side." Again, that man is In the crisis of the text who has a wasted life on the one s u e and an unllluininated eternity on the other. Though a man may all his life have-cultured deliberation and self-poise, if he gets into that position all his self-possession Is gone. There Get up the heights of God's consolation from which you may look down in triumph upon outside persecution and home trouble. While good and grea1 John Wesley was being silenced by tho magistrates, ana having his name written on the board fences of London in doggerel, at that very time his wife was making him as miserable as shr> could—acting as though she were possessed by tho devil, as I suppose•sh^ was; never doing him a kindness unt:1 the clay sbe ran away, so that he wrote in his diary these words: "I did not forsake her; I have not dismissed her; I will not recall her." Planting one foot upon outeicle persecution, and thf other fnot on home trouble, John Wesley climbed up into the heights o* Christian joy, and after preaching forty thousand sermons, and travelin. tv:o hundred and seventy thousand milo*. reached the heights of heaven though in this world he had it hard enough—"a sharp rock on the one side and a sharp rock on the other." Again,that woman stands in the crisis of the text who has bereavement and a struggle for a livelihood at the same time. Without mentioning names, 1 speak from observation. Ah, it is a hard thing for a woman to make an honest living, even when her heart is not troubled, and she has a fair cheek, and the magnetism of an exquisite presence. But now the husband, or the father, is dead. The expenses of the obsequies Lave absorbed all that was left in the fcuvings bank, and. wan and wasted with weeping and watching, she goes forlh—a grave, a hearse, a coffin, behind her--to contend for her existence and the existence of her children. When i see such a battle as that opeD I shudder- at. the ghastliness of tho spectacle. Men sit with embroidered slippers and write heartless essays about women's wages, but that question is made up of tears and blood and there is more blood than tears. Oh give women free access to all the realms where fche can get a livelihood from the telegraph office to the pulpit! Let men's wages be cut down before hers are cut down. Men haVo iron In their souls, and can stand It. Make, the way free to her of the broken heart. May God put into wy hand the cold, bitter cup of privation, and give me nothing but a wlndowless hut for shelter for many yea's, rather than that after I am dead there should go out from my home into the pitiless world a woman's arm'to fight the Gettysburg, the Austerlitz, the Waterloo of life for bread! And yet, how many women existence, all the wrong deeds, all the wrong words—strata above strata, granitic, ponderous, overshadowing. That rock I call Bo/ez. On the other side are all the retributions of the future, the thrones of judgment, the eternal ages, angry with his long defiance. That rock I call Seneh. Between these tv-") rocks ten thousand times ten thousand have perished. O man immortal, man redeemed, man blood-bought, climb up out of tbo^e shadows! Climb up by the way oi' the cross. Have your wasted life forgiven; have your eternal life secured. This hour just take one look to the past, and see what it has been, and take one look to the future, and uce what it threatens to be. You can Tumi io lo^o your health, you can afford to lose your property, you can al~ ford to lose your reputation, but you cannot afford to lose your soul. That bright, gleaming, glorious, precious. eternal possession you must carry alo£t in the day when the earth burns up and the heavens burst. You see frctn my subject that when a man gets into the safety and peace of the gospel he does not demean himself. There is nothing in religion that loads to meanness or unmanlinevs. The grospel of Jesus Christ only a^ks you to climb as Jonathan did—climb toward God, climb toward heaven, climb into the sunshine of God's favor. To become a Christian is not to go meanly dowu; it ia to come gloriously up—up into the communion of saints; vip into the peace that passeth all understanding; up into the companionship of angels. He lives upward; he dita upward. Oh, then, accept .the wholesale invitation which I make this day to all the people!' Come up from between your invahdism and financial embarrassments. Come up from between your bereavements and your destitution. Come up from between a wasted life and an unillumined eternity. Likt Jonathan, climb up with all your might instead of sitting down to wring your hands in the shadow and in.the darkness—" a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side." Women in Science. To assert tha* women have had an important influence on the progress of science would certainly be exaggeration,- but to say that they have always been wholly foreign to it would be still more inexact. The female sex have, in fact, been for many centuries contributing to the, extension of the field of scientific knowledge; and now ihat they are beginning to take,a more prominent part in affairs of this category, it seems a favorable time to review some of their achievements a^itl to notice seme of the women whose scientific accomplishments have been most remarkable. We begin with a Milanese mathematician of the eighteenth century—Maria Agnesi, a woman who was unique among the few who have occupied themselves with the exact sciences. Her precocious intelligence and a prodigious memory, which permitted her to express herself correctly in seven languages, and her rare aptitude for one of the most arduous branches of mathematics—the infinitesimal analysis of which Leibnitz and Newton had only just Indicated the formulas—-the saintliness of her life, divided between study, prayer, and charitable works—all contribute to make her one of the most agreeable characters which fr*\e scientific history of the last century offers us.—Appletons' PopuW Science Monthly far July Nervous People Aro f r©«* suftatrs «nd the/ deserve sympathy mber thin consujp: Their blood is poor a»>d thi* snd th«|r nervat we cons «««wntly^ro»k. 8«^i't*Qpl« find relief and O«TC !• Hood's Barsaparllla because it purifies sad earlche* the blood and gives it poww to feed, strengthen and sustain the nerve*.

W.N.U.-- DETROIT—NO.34--1808 •\s 3 CJK Dap Star or m Orknep's* A Romance—By Hannah B. McKcnzic. CHAPTER IV.—(Continued.) "Duty again? Terrible, word 'duty!' Bettns to me the greatest enemy of ail human joy and ease and love," said Lilith. "la it wicked of me, Dr. Hal- •row? but I almost wish there was no auch thing. We should all be so much happier without." "Not if duty represents to us, as it should do, the will of God," said Magnus, in a low voice. ."But I should not wait, MIBS Stuart; it is a matter of life and death. Let me bid you good-bye." "You wiU go then? Now I know that my influence over you counts for nothing," said Liilth. She looke«l straight into his eyes, and her own were wondrously soft and languid. Elspeth Troil shot one hurried, furtive glance from her work, and she caught that look of Lilith's. She saw, too, how Magnus Halcrow first flushed and then grew pale before that look. There suddenly flashed into Elapeth's mind the remembrance of a scene she had read about, where, In the dim, long-ago woods of Broceliande, a wily lin to his ruin. And Elspeth'a thread suddenly broke, and her hand neemed oddly unsteady for a moment Then Magnus released Lilith's hand. "Yon cannot be In earnest, Miss Stuart," he said gravely. "My honor as a doctor, and my humanl'y as a man, call upon me to go at otfce with help wherever it is required. I must not wait. Good-bye." With two of his long strides he at the door. He had never even noticed that Elspeth Troil was present. Elspeth went on with her sewing, only her face seemed a little paler now than it had been. Magnus was soon speeding on his homeward way. He could not drive Lilith from his mind. A subtle attraction drew him to her, and yet, as soon as he was gone from her presence, something in him revolted against that attraction. He hardly dsred give the feeling words test he should have to own that he distrusted her. He raced onwards, little guessing that the man to whose help he was going was one wljpsefate was strangely i n terwoven-writh that of Lttith Stuart's. There is little prescience in human life, whatever telegraphy and spiritualism may say, and Magnus could not foresee the terrible future. Day met him as he sprang from his machine. . "Oh, Magnus, how quickly yai have come! I am so glad to sec yon. He is conscious, dear; but that is all. 1 think he was struck by lightning or his machine wae, more likely—and is dazed and paralyzed by the shock; but he may be injured, too." "A stranger?" Magnus asked, as he gave his machine Into Jamie's hands. Day gave him a hurried account of all that happened as she preceded him into the sitting-room. "I think he must have been cycling from Scapa to Stromness. He may have friends there, though I am quite sure he does not belong to the island. But here he is." The eyes of the young man were wide open as Magnus approached him. Magnua was struck, -aa~Day had been, by the refinement and patrican cast of tha face before him. "Leave us, pay," he whispered to the girl. "I shall come to you in a little while." It seemed ages to the girl as she waited in the laboratory before her brother reappeared. In reality it was about an hour. Then he came to her side and laid his hand on her shoulder. "Brave little Day! You have saved a fellow-creature's life. I have been able to bring back full consciousness tc a paralyzed brain and body, and in a week or two I have no doubt our friend will be as well as he ever was." "In a week or two?" repeated Day. T h e n there 1B some injury r" "His ankle has been sprained, but that was owing to the fall; no bad results from the lightning-stroke will follow." Magnus bent and kissed his sister's soft cheek. "Day, it you had not brought him to the house and sent instantly for me, I do aot know that he would ever have recovered the shock. My dear little, sister, you are the bravest girl In all the wor.ld." The soft eyes filled very full at the words of praise; but, "low in her heart," Day thanked God. Never in her young lite before had so strange a tie bound her to a fellow-creature, and ber heart th/lll^d an(|' W* *arm at tke thought *f ft. , f r £ f ' "And now I think >6ii might take him lu one of Bell's famous decoctions, and give him a little nourishment," said her brother. "My part is done, and this is yours, Day. He is quite weak yet, and requires something io strengthen him." "I shall have it ready in no time," said the girl. She hurried away to get it ready, while Magnus returned to his patient. When Day came in, bearing her little tray, the dark eyes on the sofa met hera with a look of recognition. The young man stretched out his hand and took hers. "I have no words with which to thank you for the service you have done me, Miss Halcrow—you and your brother." He looked towards Magnus, who was standing by the window. "But for you I might not now bo conscious even that I had had such kindness shown me. I owe you my life. I shall never forget that I do so." "I did nothing," »aid Day, blushing softly and speaking in a low tone— "nothing but what one human being would have done for another. No one would EaTe lift a^Wldw-creSfure T ing outside exposed to such a terrible storm, and not have tried to br'.ng him under shelter. You have nothing to thank me for." . "Is it nothing to thank you for that you have saved my life?" he asked earnestly. His voice was a pleasant one to listen to—soft, mellow and flexible; and the look in his dark eyes made Day's heart beat with such strange emotion as she had never known before. "I do not know If I can ever show you how deeply grateful I am, Miss HalcroT"; but if I live, I pray I may yet be able-to do so." At thib moment Magnus, who had not yet spoken, came forward. "Do not make so much of what my sister has done for you; she would have done that much for any one," he said. And there was a tone in his voice that the other was quick to notice. "And now, as I hope you will accept our hospitality for a day or two—as, indeed, I think you must until your foot is all right—is it too much to ask you your name? You already know AIDED BY MRS. PIKKHAK Was there an almost imperceptible panse ere the young man answered? A momentary embarrassment and hesitation? So at least it seemed to Magnus Halcrow. Then the young man spoke: "You must excuse me, Dr. Halcrow, for not having mentioned it sooner. Let my unfortunate accident be my excuse. My name is Evan Monteith." CHAPTER V. It was a week later, and on a glorious afternoon Evan Monteith had been able for the first time to walk from his room downstairs unaided. "I can no longer make my lameness an excuse for troubling you with my presence," he said laughingly to Day, as she smilingly placed an easy chair for him in the window which commanded a magnificent view of Abbot's Head, the distant crag of Yesnabil, and the wide stretch of Summer-blue sea. "I must not trespass on your kindness much longer, Miss Day." Day's heart sank suddenly—sank very low and very rapidly. "You must not go until my brother gives you permission," she said, in a low tone. "I think he will do so if I ask him," answered Monteith, in so marked a tone that Day looked up quickly. "It is easy to see when one is liked and— and trusted," Evan went on slowly. "For some reason your brother, who is, I think, one of the best and truest men I know, neither likes nor trusts me, Miss Halcrow." "How can you Imagine such a thing?" cried Day, her face growing first rose-red, then very pale. "It is unkind of you to imagine it" "It 1B true, nevertheless," answered Evan Monteith. "I do not know who is to blame, Miss Day, but I can hardly think it is your brother, who is both just and generous. In that case, It must be my fault, and, if it is, it is a fault which I cannot help. Circumstances are against me, and prevent me trying to remove any prejudice there may be against me in his mind." Day sat silent, her sweet eyes clouded and her lips drooping. Somehow she had felt aware of what Monteith now uttered since he had come to Abbot's Head. Magnus was kind and hospitable to him. as he could not help being to any one under his roof; but there was a want of cordiality in his manner wbfch showed that some intangible, invisible barrier existed between him and his guest That barrier wag suspicion. Ho>* little root it needs to grow this fatal plant, deadly as a upas-tree to every feeling of kindliness and friendship! Magnus hardly knew when it had sprung up In his heart; but there it was, and he could not drive it out. "Do not look so sad, Miss Day," said Evan presently, in a low voice. "la it my words that have driven away the sunshine from your face? I am very eorry. Heaven knows I would sacrifice a good deal of my own happiness to keep it there. He bent a little nearer to her; his hand almost touched hers. A thrill, the passion and joy of which were like "ten thousand little shafts of flame," ran through Day. She held her face low for fear he should see the look of love melting in her eyes. Then suddenly a atep sounded outside, the low murmur of voices. Evan sprang erect, and his hand fell from Day's. The door opened and Magnus entered; but he was not alone. Day rose quickly as she caught a glimpse of the figure of 7>ilith Stuart that followed his —the slim, sinuous, graceful figure, arrayed in a smart cycling costume of pale green, trimmed with a darker shade—which made her liker than than ever that wily enchantress Vivien. "Miss Stuart has cycled over to pay you an afternoon call," said Magnus. He looked bright and elated. Day was not one of those who are easily fluttered or put about by an unexpected visit. She was a lady to her finger tips; and she was, moreover, too true a child of nature to wish to appear different from her usual self. She rose and went forward at once. How are yggy-MisgStuart ? must have had a delightful spin; it is such a fine day.* Evan Monteith had also risen, and was standing behind Day's chair. Miss Stuart shook bands with Day, with a murmured, languid answer. She never took much trouble to make herself agreeable to her own sex. But, as sho dropped Day's hand, Day saw an expression of such terrible surprise, fear, and horror spring into her languid blue-black eyes as struck Day hersell dumb with astonishment. Involuntarily she looked round in see what haJ been the cause of that fcudden change which froze the smile on tho*« beautiful lips, and made the wh'^l« face coid and hard, with only a great terror looking out of it. Then Day saw that the direction of Lilith's eyes turned towards '.be face of Evaa-Monteith, as he stooc" behind her, and that he was regarding Lilith with something like the counterpart of her look—one, however, in which a strange embarrassment mingled witt one of astonished recognition. Magnus, who could not see Lilith's facp, stepped forward.— "May I introduce Mr. Monteith to you, Miss Stuart—the gentlemao whom I told you had met with so unfortunate an accident? Mr. Evan Monteith— Miss Stuart." Lilith Stuart had undoubtedly a great command over herself. Whatever her feelings were, she suppressed them cleverly. She stepped forward, holding out her hand, and looked straight into Monteith's face with those dangerous'y beautiful eyes of hers—a look which made Day feel as if a dagger had passed through her very heart. "Mr. Monteith! Is it possible. I hardly expected to see you here." "No, Miss Stuart, I did not flatter myself that you would," Monteith answered. His words were ambiguous; so was his tongue. Magnus looked from one to the ouier In astonishment; then he saw that strange pallor on Lilith's face, and the strained look abou* her eyes, which even her wonderful selfcontrol was not quite able to hide. "You know Mr. Monteith, then, Miss Stuart?" he said. His voice sounded rough and hard even in his own ears. A great anger possessed him. He felt that Evan Monteith had grossly deceived him. "Yes—we knew each other—years ago," said Lilith, with an odd little halt between each clause, as if she were doubtful of what to say. Th^n suddenly she flashed her radiant smile on Magnus. "It is a surprise to you, of course—you did not know that Mr. Monteith knew me; but it is so long since we met that we might almost way we are strangers—might we not, Mr. Monteith? You have been so l o n g - abroad, was it not? And when did you return to this country?" Sne had accepted the chair Magnus gave her by this time, and she and Day were both seated, while the men stood. Monteith turned to answer her question, and that brought the two of them into a dialogue, which seemed to exclude the others. Magnus turned to Day. "Can we have tea?** he said, in a low voice. Day looked up swiftly in his face, and her heart sank with pain -a pain that was more for him than for herself, after the manner of her kind; and yet there was a bitter pals for herself also.

PINKHAM:—It Is with pleasure that I add my testimony to your list, hoping that it may induce others to avail themselves of your valuable medicine. "After the birth of my little girl, three years ago, my health was very poor. I had leucorrhoea badly, and •> terrible bearing-down pain which gradually grew worse, until I could do no work. Also had headache nearly all the time, and dizzy feelings. Menstruations were very profuse, appearing every two weeks. *' I took medicine from a good doctor, but it seemed to do no good. I was becoming alarmed over my condition, when I read your advertisement in a paper. I sent at once for a bottle of LydJa E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and after taking two-thirds of the bottle I felt so much better that I send for two more. After using three bottles I felt as strong and well as any one. " I think it is the best medicine for female weakness ever advertised, and recommend it to every lady I meet «uffering from this trouble." Maternity is a wonderful experience and many women approach it wholly unprepared. Childbirth under right conditions need not terrify women.

She program, although not entirely carried out owing to the absence of L. E. Hovviett and C. D. Austin, of Howell, was good. The time was fully taken up by the different papers and discussions. H. B. Appleton, Vice president, gave the audience to understand that their presence was appreciated and a hearty welcome was extended. The first paper given, was,' "Primary Work in the Sunday School/' by Mrs. B. Gartrell, which was very interesting. The primary classes were the foundation of the school, and if a foundation is rightly built the building itself would be sure. Years ago Sunday schools consisted of teaching the catechism and whole chapters in the Bible, but now it was different, and one should use all the helps they could to help the pupils. This topic discussed by Miss Bell Hall, emphesising the good points in the paper. She quoted the fact that "all nations realized the importance of how the children were trained tor its future welfare. f Rev. C. S. Jones gave some good advice on "Profitable Methods of Bible Stud/.1' One should study it in reference to personal application, for your own needs and the needs of others. Don't dull the pain of-a sin sick ! soul but try and cure. Do not be afraid to mark your Bible and then you will be able to refer to any passage of scripture you may wish. Gladstone, one of the most honored of men, said, "he found the Bible one of the most profitable of books." G. L. Hull in his discussion said, he realized that tbe Bible should be studied more by all professions in life, but be careful not to study in a way to build ones self up in any pre-conceived faith.

We are living.under a changeless cloud of sorrow." Traverse City suffered severely from a cloudburst and a terrific electrical storm. The damage in the city is ssid to be $10,000, while thousands of dollars damage was done to fruit trees and grain.

The city is quiet and seems almost to have resumed its normal business nnd social activity. The rumors of troubles between the natives and the Americans are for the most part unfounded. The fact is that the inurgeots have been unwilling1 to disarm until assured of the permanence of American protection. From the first they have had the greatest confidence in Admiral Dewey, whom they regard as a sort of father and the most inaport Manila. The junta is satisfied that all friction wlirsooir disappear and that there will be no trouble from the insurgents if the Americans decidy to retain the Philippines. Gen. Merritt and Agriinaldo have agreed that the latter shall govern outside of Manila for the present. No insurgents will be allowed inside of the city with arms. Business is now booming. The obstructions in the river Pasig, which flows through the town, have been removed and the water works have resumed operations. Out the Volunteers. Adjt.-Gen. Corbin has issued the order providing for the mustering out of volunteer troops. This will be done by regular army officers only. The regulations regarding the accounting for property and men are very strict. Each volunteer officer will be held responsible for the men under his- command up to the moment of muster exit. Men who are sick and absent will get their discharge certificates. The mustering out will occur at state rendezvous as a rule. Every man wiJl be examined by a physician before be gets his discharge. The troops vriU be allowed to retain certain property, boch as rifles and other equipment by paying a stipulated price for them.

She rang the hell, and tea soon appeared. While she was attending to tr the others talked; but Magnus, coming to her side, helped her at the teatable. The voices of the other two grew lower. For a moment they hardly rose above a whisper. When tea was handed round the conversation became more general, and turned on Evan's accident. Presently Miss Stuart aske'i: "And how much longer are you to remain at Abbot's Head?" "I have already trespassed too long on the hospitality of Dr. Halerow," said Evan. "I was thinking of leaving tomorrow." He glanced at Magnus, who sat strictly silent. "And you are going to Stromnesa then?" asked Lilith. When Lilith rose presently, botn young men stood up. She glanced up at Magnus. "Wou.d it be too much to ask you to bring my machine round, Dr. Halcjow? And you are going a little bit of my way, are you not?" "I am going to Borenow," Magnus replied briefly. He turned and left the room. Lilith bade Day good-bye witn her usual languid grace; tlieu sha turned to Evan. "Jfou will see me to my machine?" she said, in a low voice. "That. \* all f will aek of you." Evan bowed and followed her. v)n the doorstep they stood for a few ma ment8, conversing in a low tone. Th^y were there when Magnus brought round Lilith's machine. The face of the Doctor looked darker than Evan •tad yet seen it as he glanced a if them. "I am at your service, Miss Stuart," ue said, coldly, removing his cap. "Thank you," said Lilith. She did not offer her hand to Evan, but, saying in a low voice, "Remember!" she Wf.nt forward to take her machine from Magnus' hand, then, putting her foot on the pedal, she was off. Magnus was leaning on his handles, Mg brow drawn in a dark frown. He did not follow Lilith imniediateiv, though she glanced round to see if he was following, but paused for a moment by the step on which Evan was standing. Then he spoke, without lifting his albeit a somewhat low and trembling one. "Mr. Monteith, ;why should I turn against you? You have a right to keep your own secrets if you will. We do not' wish to pry into them. If my friendship can be of any use to you, if it Is of any value, I am ready to bfl your friend now and always." "Of any value?" he cried. "Day, how little you know!" He went down on his knees beside her, and took her hand in his. "Day, I love you with my whole soul? I have only known you a week, and yet I love you. My pure-souled little darling, can you ever care for me? Can you love me, in spite of doubt and suspicion? Day, won't you look up? Won't you let me see those sweet, truthful eyes, and read my answer in them?" He loved her! He loved her! Oh, what earthly happiness could be compared to this? Day's whole past life seemed blank and empty in the light of this glorious sunshine that had now corae into it. She could not speak; but she looked sweet, vhy, melting eyes. He opened liis arms and drew her within them. And Day made no resistance, but buricJ her face on his breast, until he b. Ic her again lift it up, and then laid ov. her young lips the first kiss of love they had ever kuown.

Wo.ie : ou my greatest enemy I should do tbe ^ame. "But I thought you would act honestly and honorably by us, with whom yon have been on such terms of friendship. Instead, I find you have deceived us. Over and over again you have allowed us to believe you knew no one in all the island. Was that fair? Was it honorable? I put the question to you yourself, but I ask you no answer." Without another word, and not allowing Evan time even to tnen hi-< lips, he sprang on his machine and was gone. Evan Monteith returned slowly to the drawing-room. His faco was pale and troubled; there was an odd contraction about his lips. Day had risen from her sent by tho little tea table and was at the piano, where she was playing a plaintive air with one hand. Evan knew the air. It was the sad but beautiful one of •'The Flowers of the Forest" She did not hear him come in, and be went up to her and laid his hand lightly on her shoulder. She started and looked up, a half-frightened look leaping into her eyes. "It is only I." said Evan pently. "Well, Miss Day, I have get my march- Ing orders, and I feel as if I were t.fc' meanest hound on earth! I have partaken of your hospitality, and to you botu I owe my life; and I have repaid you by a reticence which aaounis to deceit. The worst ot it is, I cannot Bay anything to extenuate or explain my conduct My mouth is shut. 1 can only trust to your clemency and sweet charity." Day was silent, but he could see her Hpe quivering; and her downcast *yts grow heavy, as if with unshed tear*. He spoke a&aifl, presently, in a lower tone. "I must le:;-.-e you tomorrow. Before1 I go will you not speak one word ol kindness to me', and .say thrt, in spite of appearances, you trust me, and v'l! trust me always?" Dsty could not reply. "Speak, Day!" he pleaded—"only oise urord. Tell me that you still thi-ik of me as a friend—that you will not tvrn against me." Then at ins: r.-y f.-und her voice, CHAPTER VII. One day Magnus had come home from Crag Castle looking strangely pale and dejected. Day was wise enough, like a .tactful maiden as she was, not to ask him anything; but when she had given him his tea, and Magnus was leaning back in his chair, ne suddenly eaifl: "Ycur friend, Mr. Monteith, was at the castle when I was there, Da"." Day started, and warm blood rushed into her cheeks, then receded, leaving them deadly pale. "Wilh—Miss Stuart?*' she asked, after a long pause. "With M^s Stuart," Magnus replied. in a tone o' assumed cheerfulness. He was silent for a little; then, rising, walked to his sister's side and laid *iis hand on her shou'ders. "My dear ttle sister, there is just one word I wish to say J o you, am! then we shall allude to this subject no more. It is about this young fellow, Evan Monteith. We must remojaber that we know absolutely nothing about him. I do not wish to entertain any prejudice against him; but this we can Hay in all fairness—he haa preserved a perfrct, reticence with regard to himself towards us. "It is better, I think, for us both to treat him as this reticence almcs; compels us to do—as a mere chance acquaintance, a stranger, with whom there cm be no question of friendship simply because the necessary basis of friendship does not exist. Now, little jne. chat is ail. Put him out of your maud, if you ever allowed him to have any place there; and be my own sweet, light-hearted little sister once more. Don't let us siieak again of the subj? ct. Now give me a kiss, Day, and let mo n*c you smile and look as bright as you oscd to c!o." Day he.'d up her mouth to his, but a rush of mingled tenderness and pity swept over Magnus as he felt the pitiful trembling of her lips. She made a brave effort to smile, and succeeded not badly. "That is like my joyous Day," said Magnus, emiiing. His own gkom had disappeared in his effort to render her cheerful. "Now another cup of tea. little one, I am going over to Kirkwall tomorrow, Day—or, rather, to Scapa. Capt. Ferguson's boy is ill. and he wishes me to see him. I shall have to take a conveyance. What do you suy to coming:, too? It woud be a nice little trip, and you could call for the manse folk at Kirkwall on the way back." Day's heart was sick within her, but she made another brave attempt to look delighted, though the projected trip held out no attraction* for her uow. A fortnight ago she would have leaped ftt it with childish delight. "It would be nice, Magnus," she said. wondering if Magnus guessed how hard it was K> make her voice sound cheerful. "Yes, of course, I shall 50. It isn't likely I would miss such a chance." So they chatted gaily oy«r the projected expedition, though the heart ot each was heavy: but love made each try to hide that from the other. News Uics fas: c.cr the length *nd breath of toe Orkneys, and Day found that MooteiUi'a accldont had been petailed in Kirkwall with sundry additions to i t "And we beard such a queer story yesterday, my dear," said Mrs. Nicholson, the parish minister's wife, who was a known lover of gossip. "It was that this young fellow—what lfl bis name again?—Is up at Crag Castle at all hours. Robertson, the coachman from the Gow hotel—where he is staylng, you know—told the minister yesterday that Miss Stuart herself cycled half-way to Stromness to meet him, and they went on together to the castle. I always said she was a strange creature, my dear, lady of the manor as she is—a very strange creature!" Day got away at last, heart-sick and miserable. Could it be true? Could Evan Monteith, after all, have been merely amusing himself with her, while all the time his heart wag perhaps pledged to Lilith Stuart? Oh, it was not possible! There could not be such heartless cruelty hidden behind those earnest, dark eyes, which had looked with such deep sincerity into hers! There must be some explanation! She would trust h!m still. But the slow poison of doubt was in her veins, and no reason could check Its evil effects. That evening, as she walked slowly from Stromness, it seemed to Day ^s if all ths fair earth and sky had grown dark and clouded for her. She turned a sharp corner, which led over a steep "brae" to the road for Crag Castle. As she did so she started, a sharp physical pain shot through her heart. For there, standing very close together on the road, evidently in deep and earnest conversation, wore the two people she was thinking THE YELLOW METAL. BRllfO FOUR TONS OF « O U > FROM THE KLONDIKE.

He was only playing with me. Oh, it is hard! Why dfd he ever come? My life was so peaceful and happy before. I was quite content with the love I had— Magnus' and Bell's, and even Ola's, and that of the poor people whom I loved in return. And now it is ill ended! Things can never be the same again—never! never!" A quick step rang on the dry I»-K* - mer road behind her. Day heara J*., and knew whose it was; and the blr^~l rushed from her face to her heart. In a few minutes he was by her si .*••"? and had taken her hand in his. "I saw you as I was coming up JteH Brae on my way to the hotel, and vcutuied to run after you,'J he said, a to-:q J.

The reason for tho observanca of such secrecy iie* iu a desire to evade the payment ot the 10 per cent, royalty exacted by the Canadian government. Not in evary cage have the miners paid royalty on th« full amount taken out of their claim*, and many of them have smuggled out larger sums than they will admit. It is said that the shipment of gold on the Roanoke would have been much heavier had those in the interior not felt some apprehension of an attack at sea by privateers. The North American Trading and Transportation c ..iiijauy will, it ia stated, ship most of their gold on lafer boats. Some of the wealthiest miners will come out later in the season. of eagerness in his voice. "It such a time since I saw you last, an I yet it is only a week. Do you where I have been all that time?" Day's' white lips framed .the "No." but it was almost too low fnr him to hear it; yet her heart ba<: bounded. He had been away^gojnffwnere. then! At least he had not betel: near her all that long week, and v'ot never troubled to come to see her! "I have been to London and Dac< again. A good long distance from th's land of nightless summer, is it not?" he said, almost gaily. "Business to>- me there, and business has brougli-' vnc back again; but I think, even if <" had had no business, I should have come." Then the thoupbt darted into Day's mind that he had gone to see Lilith Stuart before he had even thought of her; and again bitter, miserable jealousy, which will find a lodging in the gentlest and most tender heart, crepl over her. "Have you missed me at all, Day?' Monteith asked, after a long pause during which he waited in vain foi Day to speak. He asked the question almost in a whisper. Day's heart melted, then she hardened it again. How she loved him! So much that even as he spoke, her heari was at his feet. But for the sake ct her own woman's pride she must cru«ft that feeling down, and not allow Li?- ith Stuart's lover to think he coutf flirt with her for a summer day> V»g Amb>tl<*nc*> The ambulance built especially for dots and small animals, and the only one ot its kind in the world, has just been put in use !n the veterfnary department of the University cf Pennsylvania.

The following which comes from Battle Creek will interest our readers. Dr. Oliver Guiteaux. Veterinary Surgeon oi that city, a well-known man there, as well as in Kalainazoo and Marshall, speaks of his experience with the iittle conqueror and the result of a few timely words of advice. He enys: "I was standing1 in Amberg- & Murphy's drug store in linttle Creels one day when a friend of mine came in and asked for a box of kidney pin*. After he had made his purchase I said quietly to him, 'You have made a mistake io buying1 those.' His reply was. 'How is that?' I said *Doans Kidney Pills are worth all the others put together." As he wanted my reasons for thinking so I told him that my kidneys had bothered nae for years, that I suffered from backache until I could scarcely stand it. that I had nearly every symptom to be found where the kidneys are affected, that I had used remedy after remedy including box after box of tho - one he just purchased, an I that until I* used Doan's Kidney Pills I might h«.re taken as many spoonsful of water, in fact, I think some of them hurt me. A couple of weeks after this I met him on the street, when he mud: 'Doc, Doan'e Kidney Pills are just as you represented. After usinsr the box about which we had a conversation ir Amberg1 & Murphy's drugr store I was as bad as ever.

Timothy 8i«0: "O Timothy, Keep Thai WhlcU la Committed to Thy Tru»t, Avoiding Opposition! or Beleao* P»la«ly 8u Called." People who ait upon forma are apt to stand upon ceremonies. Widows and widowers in all conditions of life want re-pairing. Lore may not be a disease, but It is frequently of a rash nature. When some men bury the hatchet after quarreling they go right put and dig up an ax. The ballplayer who hits the most '"balls" a. night always hits the fewest la next day's game. The liquid voice of a woman would probably be appreciated more if she •would occasionally turn off the flow. The right to vote may go to the people of Hawaii along with annexation; but it must be remembered that we have a good deal of ignorant voting here. Some Boston families buried tfceir silverware in anticipation of a Spanish invasion; and one Boston citizen became frantic because he couldn't find any to bury. "He knew everybody, and he knew something good about everybody," 1s the tribute a contemporary pays to a New York journalist. It reminds as that men who uteadfastly cultivated one of these accomplishments have died and left few mourners. But it was the wrong one. "What is. the feeling of the race toward the United States government? One hears them say little of loyalty or of patriotism, though that is 'no sign,' as the children say. Among the troops generally, however, there is now more respect for the 'coon soldier* than there was at Tampa and Key West, and in the new great army which we are preparing for permanent service, especially if we have to put a standing force in Cuba, negro recruits can be made of immense value." Senator Hoar declared, in a recent address before Clark University Summer School, that "You can find no surer test of the spirit that animates the youth of a country in giving up its hie iu a great war than In the battlehymns of nations. The inspiration ot France has been found, and is still fcund, in the stirring strains of ttit 'Marseillaise.' 'Sons of France, awake to glory.' But an American woman has struck for the American youth a loftier strain in the 'Battle-Hymn of the Republic:' " 'In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea; As he died to make men holy, so we die to make them fi-<se.' " "The war with Spain is doing with the 1-cent piece what retail traders and the pofetal department failed to do," according to the San Francisco Chronicle, "The nieas'ure which congress framed, far raising revenues with which to carry on the war makes it necessary for every one engaged in business to handle the copper cent The telegraph cannot be used without affixing a 1-cent revenue stamp on the written message, and no check can pass over the counter of a bank ano be honored without similar treatment This war measure has thus forced en the Pacific coast without opposition a toin whkh it would have taken yearof coaxing to persuade It to accept bj any ordinary process." Ever since th* discovery of gold in Calif arnia the CTJU has been in disgrace. The ancient city of Winchester, England, is this year celebrating its one thousandth anniversary as a municipal corporation, its first mayor halving been one Beornwulf, in 898. It was it wi)l be remembered, the capital of England in the reign of Alfied, the one thousandth anniversary of whose death is soon to be commemorated. Yinehcster is identified with the Cameiot of the Athurian legends. Curiously enough, this very time has been chosen for a serious attack upon the history of Alfred. Our chief knowledge concerning him is derived from a Latin manuscript attributed to Aaaer. But careful investigators now declare that manuscript to be a mere compilation of more or less apocryphal tales, made some centuries after Alfred's time, and there is thus actual danger that the great king may become as doubtful and shadowy a personage as Arthur himself. Nevertheless, the word will probably continue to ding to the tale of the burnt cakes —and rightly, for it is edifying and la- •piling, whether authentic or not. There ig no contest between genuine science and revelation. The same God who by the hand of the prophet wrote on parchment, by the hand of the storm wrote on the rock. The best telescopes and microscopes and electric batteries and philosophical apparatus belong to Christian universities. Who gave us magnetic telegraphy? Professor Morse, a Christian. Who swung the lightnings under the sea, cabling the continents together? Cyras W. Field, the Christian. Who discovered the anesthetical properties of chloroform, doing more for the relief of human pain than any man that ever lived, driving back nine-tenths of the horrors of surgery? James Y. Simpson, of Edinburgh, as eminent for piety as for science; on week days in the university lecturing on profoundest scientific subjects, and on Sabbaths preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the masses of Edinburgh. I saw the universities of that city draped in mourning for his death, and I heard his eulogy pronounced by the destitute populations of the Cowgate. Science and revelation are the bass and soprano of the same tune. The whole world will yet acknowledge the complete harmony. But between what my text describes as science falsely socalled, and revelation, there is an uncompromising war, and one or the othef~ must g At the present time the air is filled with social and platform and pulpit talk about evolution, and it is high time that the people who have not time to make investigation for themselves understand that evolution in the first place, is up and down, out-and-out infidelity; in the second place it is contrary to the fa ts of science, and In the third place, that it is brutalizing In Its tendencies. I do not argue that this is a genuine book, I do not say that the Bible is worthy of any kind of credence—those are subjects for other Sabbaths—but I want you to understand that Thomas Paine and Hume and Voltafre no more thoroughly disbelieved the Holy Scriptures than do all the leading scientists who believe in evolution. And when I say scientists, of course, I do not mean literary men or theologians who in essay or in sermon, and without giving their life to scientific investigation look at the subject on this side or that. By scientists I mean those who have a specialty in that direction and who through zoological garden and aquarium and—astronomical—observatory, give their life to the study of the physical earth its plants and its animals, and the regions beyond so far as optical instruments have explored them. I put upon the witness stand living and dead the leading evolutionists- Ernst Heckel, John Stuart Mill, Huxley, Tyndall, Darwin, Spencer. On the witness stand, ye men of science, living and dead, answer these questions: Do you believe the Holy Scriptures? No. And so they say alt. Do you believe the Bible story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? No. And so they say all. Do you believe the miracles of the Old and New Testament? No. And so they aay all. Do you believe that Jesus Christ died to save the nations? No. And so they say all. Do you believe in the regenerating power of the Holy Ghost? No. Aud so they say all. Do you believe that human supplication directed heavenward ever makes any difference? No. And so they say all. Herbert Spencer, in the only address he made in this country, In hi3 very first sentence ascribes his physical ailments to fate, and the authorized report of that address begins the word fate with a big "P." Professor Heckel, in the very first page of his two great volumes sneers at the Bible as socalledrevelation. Tyndall in hts famous prajer test, defied* the whole of Christendom to show that human supplication made any difference in the result of things. John Stuart Mill wrote elaborately against Christianity, and to show that his rejection of it was complete, ordered this epitaph for his tombstone: "Most unhappy." Huxley said that at the first reading of Darwin's book he was convinced of the fact that teleology had received its death blow, at the hand of Mr. Darwin. All the leading scientists who believe in evolution, without one exception the world over, are infidel. I say nothing against infidelity, mind you. I onlr wish to define the belief and the meaning of the rejection. Agassiz says: "The manner in which the evolution theory in zoology 1*8 treated would lead those who are not special zoologists to suppose that observations have been made by whicn it can be Inferred that there is in nature such a thing as change among organized beings acfjtilv taking place. There is no sues thing on record. It is shifting the ground of observation from one field of observation to another to male* this statement, and when the assertions go so tax as to exclude from the domain of science those who will not be dragged into this mire of mere assertion then it is time to protest." With equal vehemence against the doctrine of evolution Hugh Miller, Far. raday, Brewster, Dana, Dawson and hundreds of scientists in this country and other countries have made protest. I know that the few men who have adopted the theory make more noise than the thousands who have rejected It The Bothnia of the Cunard tine took five hundred passengers safely from New York to Liverpool. Not one of the five hundred made any excitement. But after we had been tour days out, one morning we found on deck a man's hat and coat and vest and boots, implying that some one had jumped overboard. Forthwith we all began to talk about that one man. There was more talk about that one man overboard than all the five hundred passengers that rode on in safety. ''Why did he jump overboard?" "I wonder when he jumped overboard?" "I wonder if when he jumped overboard he would liked to have Jumped back again?" "I wonder if a fish caught him, or whether he went clear down to the bottom of the sea?" And for three or four days afterward we talked about that poor man. Here Is the glorious and magnificent theory that God by his omnipotent power made man, and by his omnipotent power made the brute creation, and by his omnipotent power made all worlds, and five hundred scientists have taken passage on board that magnificent theory, but ten or fifteen have jumped overboard. They make more talk than all the five hundred that did not jump. I am politely asked to jump with them. Thank you, gentlemen;! vm^vevr much ob44ged-to-ye». I think I shall stick to the old Cunarder. If you want to jump overboard, jump, and test for yourselves whether your hand was really a fish's fin, and whether you were web-footed originally, and whether your lungs are a swim bladder. And as in every experiment there must be a division ot labor, some who experiment and some who observe, you make the experiment and I will observe! There Is one tenet of evolution which it la demanded we adopt, that which Darwin calls "Natural Selection," and that which Wallace calls the "Survival of the Fittest." By this they mean that the human race and the brute creation are all the time improving because the weak die and the strong live. Those who do not die survive because they are the fittest. They say the breed of sheep and cattle and dogs and men is all the time Improving, naturally improving. No need of God, or any Bible, or any religion, but just natural progress. You see the race etarted with "spontaneous generation," and th p n '• F<npR .right on until Darwin can take us up with his "natural selection," and Wallace with his "survival of the fittest," and so we go right on$ up forever. Beautiful! But do the fittest survive? Garfield dead in September—Guiteau surviving until the following June. "Survival of the fittest?" Ah! no. The martyrs, religious and political, dying for their principles, their bloody persecutors living on to old age. "Survival of the fittest?" Five hundred thousand brave northern men marching out to meet five hundred thousand brave southern men, and die on the battlefield for a principle. Hundreds of thousands of them went down into the grave trenches. We stayed at home in comfortable quarters. Did they die because they were not as fit to live as we who survived? Ah! no; rot the "survival of the fittest." Ellsworth and Nathaniel Lyon falling on the northern eide. Albert Sidney Johnston and Stonewall Jackson falling on the southern side. Did they fall because they were not as fit to live as the soldiers and the generals who came back in safety? No. Bitten with the frosts of the second death be the tongue that dares utter it! It is not the "survival of the fittest." How hae it been in the famines of the world? How was it with.the child physically the strongest, intellectually the brightest, in disposition the kindest? Did that child die because it was not as fit to live as those of your family that survived? Not "the survival of the fittest." In all communities some of the noblest, grandest men dying in youth, or in mid life, while some of the meanest and most contemptible live on to old age. Not "tbe survival of the fittest." • But to show you that this doctrine is antagonistic to the Bible and to common senE* I have only to prove to you that there has been no natural progress. Vast improvement from another source, but mind you, no natural progress. Where is the fine horse in any of our parks whose picture of eye and mane and nostril and neck and haunches is worthy of being compared to Job's picture of a horEe as he thousands of years ago heard it paw and neirh and champ its bit for the battle? Pigeons of today pot so wise as the carrier pigeons of $00. years ago—pigeons that carried the mails from army to army and from city to city; one of them flung into the sky at Rome or Venice landing without ship or ralltrain In London. that walked the earth in olden times— animals compared with which In size our elephant is a cat—monsters of olden times that swam the deep, compared with which our whale is a minnow. Conies have learned nothing about hunting, and th* a»trich nothing about climbing and the hounds nothing about hatching, and the condor nothing about flying, and the owl nothing about musical cadences for six thousand years. Not a particle of progress. And as to the human race, so far as mere natural progress is concerned, once there were men ten feet high; now the average is about five feet six inches. It started with men living 200, 400, 800, 900 years, and now thirty years is more than the average of human life. Mighty progress we have made, haven't we? I went into the cathedral at York, England, and the best artists in England had Just been painting a window In that cathedral, and right beside it was a window painted 400 years ago, and there is not a man on earth but would say thfafc the modem painting of the window by the best artists of England is not worthy of being compared with the painting of 400 years ago right beside It. Vast improvement, as I shall show you in a minute or two, but no natural evolution. I am not a pessimist hut an optimist. I do not believe everything Is going to destruction; I believe everything is going on to redemption. But it will not be through the infidel doctrine of evolution, but through our glorious Christianity which has effected all the good that has ever been wrought and which is yet to reconstruct all the nations. What Is that in the offing? A ship pone on the rocks at Cape Hatteras. Tire ftqflc is brrefrfntr-itpy crew and= passengers are drowning. The storm is in full blast and the barometer Is still sinking.

My Lord and my God, get us tato the lifeboat! Away with your rotten, deceptive, infidel and blasphemous evolution, and give us the Bible, salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord. "Salvation! let the echo fly The spacious earth around, While all the armies of the sky Conspire to raise the sound." A Cuban Milkman "How many cows there are about the streets!" somebody exclaims, and Lhen he is calmly inform Td that the morning's milk is simply being delivered. A bunch of cattle and their driver stop before a house, and the portero comes out with a cup for the morning's supply. It is seen then that the cow* are being milked from door to door by the dairymen, for this is the way the acute Cuban housewives have taken to assure for their tables a lacteal supply which is entirely fresh and absolutely pure. Otherwise the guile-loving vender might dilute the milk before delivering it to his cua- (cmerfl, and craftily stir into the watery fluid the juice of the sweet potato to color it up to a duly rich and creamy cast. Even with the cows milked before the door one must continue to watch the milkman, for I have even heard of their having a rubber bag of water concealed undef their loose frocks and connected wftlh af rubber tube running down the inside of the sleeve, its tip being concealed in the hollow of the milkiug-hand. Only a gentle pressure upon the bag of water within is needed to thuf, cause both milk and water to flow into the cup at the same time. The milk-venders of Italy and India have also learned their trade to perfection, for they practice this identical trick.—Ed war* Page Gcston.

The ha/d^ro*e8 and low prices or sheep and cattle of a few years since proved potent factors in the securing of a united effort • towards improving herds and floeiks. says the Rocky Mountain Husbandman. When it was hard to make ends meet tn these pursuits owners sought to make their stock profitable by breeding the best in order that they might get top prices, top prices having always been remunerative. When wool was lowest it was sought to make up for the loss in price by the Increase in pounds, < and- the same has been the case in the production of beef and mutton. During thepast ten years there has been a marked improvement along this line, and as theyeara advance herds and flock* will steadily decrease In alse and improve in quality. We are aware that the idea is prevalent among many people that If one attempts to do anything'with cattle he must have two or three hundred head, but this is a mistake. A. nice prciit can be made from forty head Ql! cattle, or even leas. The farmer, for Instance, with a dozen milk cows, who can fatten five or 6ix beef steers every winter, will find that it will pay, anu the time is coming when, instead of a man standing aloof from sheep because he cannot own two or three or a dozen flocks and land in princely possession, but owners of single flocks of not more than 2,000 head will multiply rapidly. There are hundreds of places where this number of sheep may be summered on the high mountains, and dozens of small ranchmen produce enough feed on 360 acres of land to winter such a rock. It is trutf'in the days of small herda and flpeks. whirh must come sooner or later, It will be different from the small ownerB of ten years ago. Then air sought to keep their 1 ngrpflggr^AJU ,J)ggome 1 arced»tD= ers. The man with a few milk cows husbanded his herd until it became lar?e, and the small owner of sheep EO manipulated things as to keep h's increase and soon own a number jf flocks instead of one, but in the new era men will follow the industry of raising cattle and sheep nnd will dispose of their increase every year. They will, In fact, be so situated that they will not have the facilities for caring fr>r increased numbers, and will therefore be content with Just what they can care for. But even then the pursuit will pay and *helr bank account* will grow even more rapidly in proporion than when all their profit went into their increase. Just now, of course, there is a strong tendency towards large flocks and herds, but this will be of short duration, and In the new ordar of things, of small flocks and herds, w« may look for better breeding and far better results, since stock handled in a small way have better attention than ran be given when one has vast possessions to see after and more profit will, accrue to the country.

S A HANDFUL OP DIRT MAY BE A HOUSEFVlL OF SHAME." CLEAN HOUSE WITH P O L i Military Inquiry on Coaduet off the War. Washington: The administration has decided to institute a military inquiry into the conduct of the war with Spain. It is the belief that a properly conducted military inquiry will reveal the men who are responsible for the alleged Santiago blunders and the mistakes of the quartermaster's depart-' ment, and would determine if any important orders had not been obeyed. The supporters of an Investigation further say that the board of inquiry would make a report which would be of great value in resulting in new mil* itary legislation. A military inquiry by a court whose members commanded respect by their rank, experience and character, would clear up the exact limits of failure. When these were known it could be made clear how much of the failure was due to lack of preparation, how much to the inevitable conditions of war, how much to a defective organization of the staff, how much to the inefficiency of regular officers, how much to the ignorance of volunteer officers and how much to civilian appointments. These things need to be known through a methodical and searching inquiry conducted by experts. Hostilities are over. Congress is over three months distant; the public attention is aroused. There is grave danger of personal injustice due to mere clamor. If an adequate military commission investigates the whole field of operations—enlistment, organization, camp abuses and all the work of quartermaster, commissary, ordnance and medical staff departments — by December congress and public opinion will be informed, enlightened and educated,axLdJrmfcfttLJfigUlationwill MRS.

If nothing is done we shall have a congressional investigation, a swarm of grievances, slanders and scandals, personal and partisan reports and nothing accomplished. Spain, France and Rasflfa Combine. Madrid newspapers state that a treaty of alliance has been signed between Spain, France and Russia with the object of counteracting the Anglo- German influence. The idea of a permanent rapprochement between France and Spain is certainly in the air and may in time assume considerable practical importance. It had its origin in France's role in the peace negotiations, and report of friction with England over Spain in the neighborhood of Gibraltar. Many patriotic Spaniards who apprehend further sacrifices during the forthcoming peace negotiations, regard the suggestion of a French alliance with much favor, especially as French help would be very useful also in the great work of financial and economic reorganization which Spain eluded. Miss Helen M. Gould has given $25,- 000 to purchase food and delicacies for the ill and wounded soldiers in Camp Wikoff. President McKinley and President Faure, of France, exchanged courtesies at the opening of the new cable between Cape Cod, Mass., and Brest, France. The secretary of war has sent a telegram to Gen. Shafter at Santiago approving his request to be allowed to bring home the cannon captured from the Spanish army at and near Santiago. The auxiliary cruiser St. Paul wUl be returned to th« International Navigation Co. by th*» government as soon as she is put in the same condition as when the great liner was chartered for naval service. Krig.-Gen. Joaquin Castillo, who accompanied Gen. Shafter to Cuba as a representative of the Cuban army and the Cuban civil government, has just returned to New York. When asked as to the friction existing between Americans and Cubans at Santiago he said that the latter had been grossly exaggerated and that so far as Cubans are concerned they have the utmost faith in the American government and are confident that the pledges made in, their behalf will be carried out.

I suffered with backache, headache, bearing-dowa pains, pains in my lower limbs, and ached all through my body. Menstruation* were very painful. I was almost a skeleton. I followed your advice and now am well and fleshy, and abla to do all my own housework." I took medicine from a physiciau'for over a year, and it did cot do me a particle of good. I would advise all Buffering women to writo to Mrs. Pinkham. She will answer all letters promptly, and tell them how to cure those aches and pa n.-> so common to women.—y^s. C. L. WIN"N, Marques, Texas. I think it is my duty to write and let you know what your medicine has done for me. Fortwo years, 1 suffered with female weakness, bearing-down pains, headache, backache, and too frequent occurrence of the menses. I was always complaining. My husband urged me to try your Vegetable Compound, and I finally did. I have taken three bottles and it has made me feel like a differeiifwoman. I advise every woman that suffers to take your medicine and be cured.—Mrs. GABBBTT LICHTY, 612 S. Prince St., Lancaster, Pa. I had suffered for over two years with backache, headache, dizziness, nervousness, falling and ulceration of the womb, leucorrhoea, and about every ill a woman could have. I had tried doctors, but with no success, and it seemed as though death was the only relief forme. After using five bottles of LydiaE. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and four packages of Sanative Wash, I am -well. Have had no m c e pain, woiib trouble, backache or headache.—Mrs. CLAUDIA EIALPIN, Cream Ridge, N. J. Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg-etablo Compound I was afflicted with female complaints so that I could hardly walk. My back aciiud terribly, in fact, I ached all over. Was not able 'to raise myself up some of the time. I had no appetite and was so nervous that I could hardly sleep.

CONCISE AND INTERESTING . of the 31d Michigan CalUd to Tim* by GOT. Pin*r««—Michigan Boy* IJroaa ttantUfo Will 8oon be Home— CommtMloner'it Report. Trouble la the 39d Michigan. There is very evidently something ^rong in the 33d Michigan regiment oovv at Feruandina, Fla. There have toeen repeated reports from the men that they desired to be mustered out of epiV-ee, now that peace is assured. The officers, however, declare that the regiment is practically unanimous in Che wish to remain in Uncle Sam's employ. It Is now alleged that some of the officers of the regiment have denied the men the right of petition to be discharged from the service. When t)x\& came to the ears of Gov. Pingree he at once- sent a warm telegram to Gol. W. T. McGurrin, in command, which Bet forth very forcibly his ideas Qn the matter. He said in the telegram that privates "more than anyone else," should have the right to express their desirps either to remain in the service Or return home. lie told the colonel that the constitution of the United States gave them the right of petition and that even congress could not it. In conclusion^ he said: "1 trust no further complaints of this -nature may be necessary. Now. that the purpose of the enlistment of the volunteer army has been accomplished, no man can be called cowardly who, having due regard to the demands of his business and family upon him, peaceably and respectfully asks to be permitted to return to his home. I request that this be read to the whole Regiment immedi tely, and that the fullest opportunity be given, without let or hindrance, to every member of your regiment, whether private or Officer, to express his desires by pe- CUton," The governor says he has seen letters yrritten by privates in the regiment to their people in Michigan, in which they charge that non-commissioned officers had been threatened with reduction to the ranks, and privates bad been threatened with eourtmartia), if they persisted in signing petitions asking for the discharge of the regiment. S3d and 34th Michigan Comlajr Home. —Whea-iheJaerofls. of the 33d and 34th Michigan regiments debarked a,t Camp VYikof,f Montauk Point, L. I., after enduring the hardships of the campaign at Santiago and suffering on the trip north, they were given an ovation. Secretary Alger, Col. Geo. A. Loud, Geo. Keating and a number of other Michigan people formed a reception Committee to welcome them. The boys were pale and weak. They were greeted personally by Gen. Alger, who Cold them they would be permitted to go home in a few days on a 60-days' furlough with pay, after which they Wjpudl be mustered out of service. Afteryeach man had made awaj- with a b'g cup of milk and a sandwich they were marched to the detention camp where large tents with floors were all in readiness. This camp is an ideal place, a strong, invigorating breeze is constantly blowing, the ground is high and dry, water splendid and plentiful and the food issued very good. The boys at once began to show signs of improvement in physical condition. Committees from various parts of Michigan went to New York and bought fresh eggs, fruit, etc., and other sup- (dies without stint for the boys. Washington: Orders have been issued fur the 33d and 34th Michigan to depart for Island Lake camp in Michigan as soon as their time in the detention camp at Montauk Point is up Every man will be supplied with a new suit of clothes and his old ones will be destroyed. Orders have also beeu issued for the recruits for these regiment*, nearly 1,000 men in all, ,Y^u> hare been in Camp Alger all sumtner, to go back to Island Lake at once if Gov. Pingree has arrangements to oare for them until they can be furtoughed. These men, who have lately been moved to Middletown, Pa., have .teen organized into a provisional regiment by Gen. Davis, and are among - Che best drilled that officer has ia his To Master Oat Mlefclgaa Ti . Maj Bandholte, 35th Michigan, at Islaad Lake, received hi* appointment t>jr the war department as commissary and tnustering-out officer for the 334 end 54tb Michigan volunteer infantry. The men are to be mustered out on arrival, their discharge from service to datedOd-uya from that time. This will permit th*soldiers to go to their homes y i th salary and rations allowance for itrport . The report of Slat* Laud C-oimuis< aioner French refers at length to tax titles and homestead laws. He says thut the. legislature should, and undoubtedly will, protect homesteaders whose homes were endangered by the supreme court's decision in the case of the Connecticut Mutuul Life Insurance Co, vs. Eugene B. Wood, which materially affec ed the state's title to some of the tax homes lead lauds and caused widespread uneasiness among tUcjse who had in good faith entered upon the lands and were faithfully carrying out their part of the contract with the state. " Legislation should promptly be enacted making it possible for the state to guarantee evtjry homesteader upon these lands thut at the end of live years' residence a deed will be given and the home secured to those who so richly deserve it. There is no other honorable course for the state to pursue." During the past year there has been licoused to settlers til, 107 acres of tax homestead lands. Last year there reverted to the stute 3,lJ57 acres of these tax homestead lands. In reference to the suirar beet industry in Michigan, which originated when the legislature enacted a bounty law, which operut»» through the land office, the report says that for the tirst time beet susrur will be manuftu' t red in Michigan this year. A factory eostng upward of 8300,000 has been constructed near lJay City aud will take care of this year's crop of 3,500 acres of beets. Michigan has sufficient beet .sugar land to accommodate a dozun factories and they will be built if needed. The Hay City factory will this year manufacture more tlnnf 8,000,00 0 pounds of sugar and will pay to the gro'vers, the farmers, about 8150.000. The Michigan beets are far ahead of those of other states and every indication is that the beet sugar industry will soon be a big factor in Michigan. In reference to forestry the commissioner says that'Michigan should be foremost of all states in the union in encouraging forestry, yet we find that little, if any, attention is being given to the preservation or restoration of our forests, which have been a leading factor in producing the wealth of the state. There are many parcels of state lands not suitable for agriculture that could be converted into forests. During- the past year there was sold by the hind department 22.371.2 1 acres; 3.634 acres of swamp land licensed; 61,107 acres of tax homestead lntid licensed, and there is still held for sale and homestead entry 0(J5,147 acres. The land sold will bring into the state 8115,310 ; 827,.r>13.75 of which remains unpaid. The total receiptsof the oftice were 9141.1S5.SH . L. Died From Lack of Food And Medicines. Col. Petermann. commanding the 34th Michiganywrites Gov. l^ntfree an interesting letter relating the deeds of his boys before Santiago and recites their sufferings from hunger and lack of proper medical care. He says: "The conditions under which the campaign was carried on were awful. During the first few weeks the men were only half fed. My regiment fared particularly hard, owing to the fact that in our forced march our baggage had to be left behind, and what little the men had was lost or thrown away. We slept on the bare ground, without shelter tents or any protection from the weather. The want of proper food and protection has undoubtedl'j been the cause of so much sickness. There seems to have been something wrong in the management of affairs. The medicial department seems to have been unable to cope with the conditions; in fact, it seemed to be the poorest ©"quipped department on the ground. Medicines could not be gotten for love - nor money. In spite of the fact that our regimental surgeons were doing all that could be done, rav men died for the want of proper medicine and food." Corwiu, nged 10, of Ousted, who fought at Santiago with the Second U. S. in/antry, died at Montauk of typhoid fever Uri Cramton, at: old man and one of Hansom's earliest settlors, fell from the feed table of a thrashing machine and broke his neck.

Prominent French Army Officer Make* Startling ConfeMloa and Suicides. Lieut.-Col. Henry, of the Freuch army, upon being closely questioned by the war department, was forced to confess that .evidence which he had presented in the famous trial of Capt. Dreyfus and M. Zola was forged by himself. After _heh^g arrested Col, Henry committed suicide in his prison cell by cutting his throat. Capt. Dreyfus was convicted of belling French army secrets to the German government and was sentenced to life imprisonment in a big cage on Devil's island off the coast of French Guiana. Capt. Dreyfus' friends fought so hard that when M. Cavaignac, the present minister for war, assumed office he charged the official bureau to make a thorough research of the Dreyfus case, and it was this inquiry which resulted in the discovery that the document lately read in the chamber of deputies by M. Cavaignac, showing that proof of the guilt of Dreyfus, was forged. When Col. Henry was summoned to the ministry for war and questioned by M. Cavaignac, in the presence of Gen. Boisdeffre and others, be first affirmed the authenticity of the incriminating document. But when discrepancies were pointed out, he at first admitted adding sentences and finally confessed to fabricating the whole letter, "owing to the absolute necessity for finding proofs against Dreyfus." M. Zola, the famous author, was recently convicted, after a most stormy trial, of libeling prominent military officers when he published statements in behalf of Dreyfus and charging1 Ma j. Count Esterhazy and others of convicting Dreyfus in order to shield themselves. The cabinet ministers now admit that a revision of the Dreyfus and Zola cases are absolutely unavoidable. Col. Henry's confession threatens to rekindle the Dreyfus agitation more heatedly than ever, and it seems likely to shake public confidence in the army. Even the Liberte, a strong anti-Dreyfus organ, says: "It must cause the deepest pain to all honorable men that officers of such standing show such a lack of moral sense." Gen. Le Mouton de Boisdeffre, chief of the general staff of the French army, has tendered his resignation to the gov-, eminent, owing to his misplaced confidence in Lieut.-CoL Henrr. which led him to present as genuine what was forged evidence. The disclosures have also resulted in Count Esterhazy being retired from Mm army on » small pension. Rear Admiral Win field 8. Schley was given a splendid ovation on his arrival at Washington.

"Strangers?" repeated Evan Monteith. His tone was one of mingled astonishment and reproach. He stood still In the middle of tne road' and faced her; but Day did not raise her eyeB to his face. She felt she could not. "Strangers, Day?" he repeated, In a low voke that thrilled with some deep feel.ng. "After all that has been between us, do you still otfuntus strangers? Is this your love or your promised trust?" Day's face was'pale as death. She put her hand to her throat before she answered. Then she spoke at last, very Blowly, as if she were trying to weigh her words well. "Mr. Monteith, we know almo3t nothing of each other. Our acquaintanceship, even now, only extends 10 three weeks. We Orcadians do not leap into friendship so suddenly as-the Southrons. It takes years to make our friendship strong and true. You know little of us; we kaow nothing at all of you. Though it so happened that accident brought you to our door, you must not feel under any obligation 10 us. We only did what common huyre< fttfred==pf==gBr= Then let t:3 not speak of trust and friendship. If— if we thought of it before, it was because we were foolishly impulsive." He had been silent for a few moments when Day ceased speaking. Now his voice sounded hard and almost hoaxbe. "A man does not.need to look for much faith among his fellowcreatures. After all, why should I have asked it from you? And yet I thought you meant what you said that day. But why recall the past?" he added, as Day involuntarily made a movement with her hand. "I am only hurting you." "No; do not recall It Let us rather forget it,' said Day, in a hurried tone. "Forgive me!" Monteith exclaimed the next moment. "I am a brute to speak like that to you, who, whatever you may think of me, have been an angel of mercy and kindness to me. I cannot clear myself in your eyes nov; but when 1 can—when I am free to tell all, as please God some day I shall— I shall come to you amd ask you-—well, for your friendship then. Now my mouth is sealed, and any one who trusts me must 'trust me in. all in all, or not at all." Well, shall we any goodby?" "It is better, perhaps," Day said, a little pantingly. "Then good-by. Will you shake hands?" He stretched out his. Day put here into it with a strange little shrinking motion; but he released it instantly. "Good-bye, Miss Malcrow. And will you lemember this—that whatever you may think of me, I hold you now, and ever shall hold you. as the sweetest and truest and kindest woman that ever 1 have known. Good-by, and may fate give you the happiness you deserve!" He has gone, aad Day, white and trembling, with doubt and remorse and love fighting within her, stood alone on the road. CHAPTER VIII. "Mr.,..Montelth is coming tonight. Miss Troll, so, if yon are not engaged with Lady Westray, you might atay in the drawing-room and play to U3," said Mias Stuart languidly. She reclined in a .luxurious easychair, her reddish-auburn head among the velvet cushions, one beautiful white hand lazily stroking the Persian cat. in her lap. Lilith Stuart had a strange affection for these animals. Could it be, as "Aurora Leigh" says the work of woman is. symbolical? EUpeth Troll looked up quickly from her seam, taking*in at one swift glance the attitude of the graceful, sinuous figure in its pale-green evening-gown, trimmed heavily with creamy lace, until it looked like that of a Thetis springing from the sea-foam. There were times when, even to Elspeth, who had known her tor six years, Lilith was a mystery.'- i "I shall do so if you desire it. Miss Stuart," she replied, in her grave, quiet tone. There was nothing in common between thAje two young women, and silence followed Elspeth's reply. She went on quietly with her work, while Lilith played with her Persian, alternately stroking it and pulling its ears. Presently steps sounded on the softly- oarpeted eorridor ovtslde, and the door waa thrown ope*, the tootsnan announcing with ceremony, "Mr. Evan Monteith." Lilith did not rise, but lay back In fear chair, her fact turned toward* the door, her dark-blue eyes with that deep, mysterious smile in them which had brought BO many heart* to her feet, her hand half extended—tue action of a queen expecting homage. Monteith came forward 8 ad bowed low; but he did not ttz^ the halfproffered hand, and Lilith allowed it to toll by her side. "Look at my lovely pussy! Is she not a queen among Persians?" she aald, laying her own beautiful mouth on the top of the animal's head. "And, do you know, I actually believe she loves me? Is it not strange?" There was hardly coquetry in the question; it was almost murmured over the Persian's head, and might have be&n intended for her as much as for Monteith. Monteith took no notice of it. He turned to shake hands with Elspeth, then, coming back to Lillth's side, took a seat beside her. "You have sent for me, and. In obedience to your request, I am here," he said, in a lowered tone. Elspeth rose and made a motion as if to leave the room. "Oh, don't go, please, Miss Troil" "T wTsH~ypu~ To" pTay~W us. Something low and soft and sweet, like this divine evening. And we shall sit and dream while you are playing. Ask her, Mr. Monteith." "I shall play If you wish me, Miss Stuart." said Elspeth again. She came back, and going to the piano, opened it, and running her fingers over the Iceys, began one of Mendelssohn's "Songs Without Words." Lilith lay back in her chair, an expression of delight on her changef.ul face. "Ah! don't distress me!" she said, when Monteith made a movement as if he were about, to speak. "Do you know what I feel like? A dream—yes; and It is of the past—the past that comes never again!" Shek sighed a little, and her long dark lashes swept her cheek, lying like a shadow upon them. Monteith looked at her for a moment. Perhaps no other man in the world could have looked at her without a thrill of admiration. She looked divinely fair and divinely ^•weet at that moment; but Montelth's face was strangely cold and stern. Elspeth played on and on. She was only a paid employe, and, however know what these uie worth, and 1 measure my strength, not against them, but against yourself. And hevii »g said this, I have said all. You understand me now?" She was still looking at him, but the expression in her eyes had slowly changed as he was speaking. There was something in them now not pleasant to see—something cruel, gleaming, almost wolfish. She put her hand to the lace at her white neck, and her little pink nails dug into it fiercely. "Then it is to be war?" she whispered, almost hissing the words in a sibilant undertone. "If you like to put it so—yes, Miss Stuart," said the young man, very gravely. She leant over the balustrade again, her face growing curiously pale and set. Then suddenly Bhe sprang erect, turning to him, laid her hand on his arm. "Evan, remember all the past! Oh, 1B that nothing to you?" "Nothing," he answered, in the same cold tone. "The past only causes me shame to remember. I am glad to forget it. Now I have told you the truth —the whole truth. I came to Orkney thinking that In some way I could spare you or compromise matters; but It is Impossible. Right is right eternally; nothing can ever change i t It must be war between us, becanse no compromise will do—no compromise would be right. Therefore let me eay good-by and leave you. When we meet again it will be before all the world as foes. "As foes?" shr whispered. Her voice sounded strangr 3y low In her throat; It was as if something choked her. She suddenly stood erect and the long Bea-green gown fell in looee folds abcut her-dinuGua figure. "This ifr-your-flnal decision?" "It is my final decision," said Evan Monteith. "I shall go now, Mias Stuart, and the day after tomorrow I leave for London. • Shall we say good-by now?" "Good-by," said Lilith Stuart. She held out her beautiful white hand—a hand that Evan Monteith had kissed in the past—to him. Her eyes, which, even in the dark, shone like a cat's, were curiously luminous. "Good-by, Evan." "I shall not touch your hand." eald Monteith gravely. "It would be hypocrisy to do so. Good-by once more, Miss Stuart." He bowed, turned and left her. A stair led down from the balcony to the gardens. He went down by it, and soon vanished from sight. When he had gone Lilith turned and stretched out her beautiful arms, with their foamy yellow lace, towards the direction in which he had gone. "The day after tomorrow," she said. And a little, low laugh came rippling from her red lips. "Oh, fool! fool! The day after tomorrow!" TOLD BY T H - SERGEANT. Frvm the Democraty Grand RapUt$tMieh.

And Monteith, In spite of himself, began tofeer strangely softened. His mind wandered to the old-fashioned garden at Abbot's Head, and to the dainty fipure that used to flit among the rose-bu8hes there. He had almost forgotten the one beside him, and started as a soft hand fell on his. "Let us go out." whispered Lilith's voice almost in his ear. "to the terrace. The evening is so entrancing that it soems a shame to remain indoors. And do yon hear the birds singing in the garden? I do even above the music. You will come?" Monteith rose without a word;. As they passed the piano Lilith tapped Elspeth lightly on the shoukler. "Thank you. It is beautiful," ,she said; "But we have demanded toe i much of you. We are going out on the terrace." Elspeth looked after them as Lilith's sea-green robe vanished outside the window. •'Dare I warn him?" ehe said to .herself. "And yet I think he knows her. He does not trust her; but there Is no one in the world I distrust more." Lilith had gone to the edge of the balcony and leant upon the balusters. From that point the view was one which can only be seen in northern lands. Although it was long past sunset, the sunset glory still lingered in the wep'ern sky in colors so gorgeous and vivid that no painter's brush would dare reproduce them. Monteith had followed Lilith and leant his arm on the balustrade. She looked up- a* him, her eyes gleaming strangely. "You nave something to say to me.

"There is nothing etee for it. 1 am forced into this unfortunate position!" said Evan Monteith to himself, as he cycled back to Stromness along the cliff-path, which was, however, safe enough, for it was strongly protected by a wooden barricade. Even now it was hardly daxk and Yonteith had not lit his lamp. "I wish the work had been committed to any other but to me," he mused as he spun onwards. "But I must atone for the post. Much of it has been my fault, and 00 me, therefore, lies the responsibility of undoing any evil I have done. Yes, I shall go to London and lay the facts before the lawyers; then commit all into their hands. But am I to go without seeing Day?" His face changed as the name was uttered, a little hesitatingly even to himself. The sternness and resolution 'aded out, and a softened expression crept over it. "Will she forgive me when she knows all?" he thought. "Ah. surely she will? And yet, could I be satisfled with her forgiveness alone? Is there not more that I crave for, puresouled darlfng! Surely her parents were far-sighted when they gave her her name, for she is like the day indeed —bringing joy and sunshine and love whenever she goes. Surely, if a bad woman ia the worst creature on earth, a good one ...is....God ^s best gift to man?" Monteith had a room at the Gow Hotel; but he did not sleep much that night. When he did, his sleep was haunted by strange, awfu! breams, in which he felt himself being hurled over some frightful precipice; and when he looVed up to the platform of rock from which he had fallen, he saw the mocking face of Lilith Stuart gazing down at him. and beard her scornful laughter float above him on the air. The dream haunted him strangely, even after he had risen and breakfasted. He told himself it was only the natural result of yesterday's disagreeable duty; but somehow he could not shake off the uncomfortable impression it had left. (To be Continued.)

Tne, present summer has been a Western resort epoch, largely because the railroads have established and maintained unsurpassed lacilities for comfona to travel, and the desirability of the .ocation has become widely known through judicious advertising. The great game preserves and the rivers stocked witb finest specimens of tbe finny tribe, the vigorous mountain air, tbe gathering of pleasant people at first class hotels, and the proximity to home and business if required, have proved stronger attractions than the sea coast and the Northern lake regions. The vast mineral resources of Colorado have tempted the watchful bus ness man to combine something of business »itb his outing, too. and as a consequence of all these reasons travel to the West has been unsurpassed tnia year and tbe state has found new friends and gained new tongues to leil its praise. It is a matter of such great importance that comfort shall be a striking feature of travel that the tourist as weU as the daily traveler in pursuit of business shonM select bis route with care and judgment.

From the San Francisco Call: A steamship, finished complete, from keel to sm.okestack, in aix weeks. Surely that is crowding things a little, but the Alaska boom has made such work neceaaary. That is the reason it is being done these days. Never in th« history of shipbuilding in California has there been such activity in the business. Every shipyard about the bay is working overtime, and in some Instances day and night, so great is the demand for vessels to send to the arctic. Of course, there. Is a great deal of repairing and overhauling being dune, but new vessels are being completed every few days. Over at Oakland shipyard one day last week there were five new ships on the wayB at the same time. It is safe to say that this has never happened before in this part of the world. At the big foundries, where iron ships are built, work is pushed as fast as possible, but iron ships do not get together &B rapidly as wooden ones, so that it Is tedious work watching their growth. Wooden vesels come Into existence almost as if by magic and are nearly ready for sea as soon as they are launched. It is t« this class thai the greater number of Klondike vessels belong. One steamer, the Virago, that sailed for .M.if-ka.a few days ago, was not In ex'uteu^e at all on the fur: uf last F. uriuiry. In fact, her !.-p<M wi>« not. laid and it is barely possible the plans for her were not drawn. But things went along smoothly from the start.

Before this vessel had her trial trip she was booking passengers and loading freight. Scores of men were at work on her rushing things along. Thii steamer "had her trial trip on Monday, the 14th ult., and two days later she sailed for the north loaded down witli freight and gold-seekers. But she acted like a charmed being and sailed through the Golden Gate as dignifiedly as a man-of-war that had been five years in course of construction Instead of five weeks. Old salts said she was as good a vessel of her class as was ever built, notwithstanding the short time spent in putting her together. To see one of these Alaska vessels come int« being is like watching the work of a magician. The person who orders OM j vessel or what her name is to be is of | no importance to the shipbuilder. He simply gets word to build a vessel according to certain drawings and specifications and puts it down in his book ; as a certain number. If the vessel is ordered to be pushed through in a ' hurry he starts work immediately, and within a few hours men are building the ways on which the vessel Fis to be ronstrnpted.

One day the millionaire sent for Joseph and told him frankly that he was growing rather tired of his highfalutin, "artistic" French dishes. "The fact is," said the millionaire, "I'm darned hungry, niul 1 want a square, old -fashioned meal. Go and cook me." he added, "some nice boiled beef and cabbage." "Moiifieur." replied Joseph, in his suavest manner. "1 think you have sent for me by mistake. Shalt I ring for the gardener?"

Too many aim at righteousness with a telescopic sight. People always notice the spots oa the raiment of pride. The hell of the fashionable church awakens many Bluggards. Men are not necessarily big guns because they happen to be big bores. Before marriage a man swears to lovej after marriage he loves to swear. Eternal life is the only thing worth striving for in which there is no competition. A wrong is not right because it Is gray-headed, nor clean because it has been baptized. A spinster says if it Is true that man proposes and God disposes, aorae men fall to do their share. The truth Is condemned more than Is the false. People will condemn that about which they know the least. - It rinasn 't a 1 wa ys-make-a. man happy when a girl returns his love—especially when it's returned because she has no use for it. Only the love of truth can make a dispute profitable. The man who entera into an argument solely to get the better of his opponent is In no condition either to profit or to be profited. He is neither a teacher nor a pupil, but an artilleryman bombarding his neighbor's castle just to see him run up the white flag. No man is fit to enter into a debate who would not rather get at the truth than win a victory. • Some very good men are addicted to profanity, but there Isn't one of them who is not ashamed of every oath he uttgrs. The utterance is involuntary, without preface, uncontemplated, spontaneous, sudden, and in most cases the result of extreme vexation. When it is ov»r the decent man chides himself and declares he will never do it again; but he adds, with a suppressed chuckle, "Nothing else under heaven would hare untied that knot or buttoned that button." That our people have no special hatred of our recent enemies in Spain Is abundantly shown by the enthusiastic welcome which Admiral Cervera has met with whenever he has been in any place that gave the public a chance to come in contact with him. It is doubtful, however, whether the extraordinary manifestations of friendship and admiration which Admiral Cerera has received from the hands and mouths of the American people are likely to add materially to his prestige in hi6 own country. Great Britain is not a military nation, yet her army cost, in 1897, £18,- 270,000, and her navy £22,170,000. a total for both arms of the service of $202,200,000. The expenditure of France in the same year for these two purposes was $175,000,000, and of Germany $157,000,000. Their armies are much greater than that of Great Britain, but their navies are smaller than hers. Probably four-fif:hs of these enormous aggregates might be saved, were it not for the necessity to protect colonies, to guatd frontiers, and to be prepared for the numberless dangers to which international ambitions, jealousies and complications may give rise. It is a great price to pay for being classed among the "great powers." POSTMASTER IN CUBA. FIRST AMERICAN POSTOFFICE AT SANTIAGO. Presided Oyer by Major il«mw B. Stimrt, Late Inspector or the Chicago DlvUlon—8tory of tits Life—Peraoaal Characteristic* Concerning the supposed friction between Germany and the United States, Mr. Andrew White, the American ambassador to that country; Bays: "The relations between the German and American governments have been and still are excellent. As a simple matter of fact, no person acquainted with the matter will deny that the German government has treated oura with fairness, or claim that It has been wanting in courtesy to our government or to its representative In Berlin. There Is no exception to this statement As to the German people at large, I am satisfied that the substantial, thinking part ot them are now on the whole friendly to America. I am receiving letters every day which Indicate this. Of course there has been on the part of t considerable number a natural sympathy with Spain as a weaker power fighting a stronger one; quite likely, too, a considerable portion of landed proprietors, and of leading manufactur ers have had prejudices against the United States, caused by what the* bare considered Interference with thtti jrosperlty." HE new postmaster at Santiago. Maj. James E. Stuart, i» a Scotchman by birth—in all else, it might be remarked, he is an intense American. He has the dominant tralu* of the Scot; he Is discreet, persevering and honest, qualities which are demanded of any man who aspires to fill the place of an Inspector in the postoffice department. He came to this country in 1851, when he waa 10 years old, and as soon as he could comprehend the meaning of legal terms he began to study law. He was a student when the war of the rebellion broke out. but he dropped his books for the musket and went to the front as a sergeant In the Twenty-first Wisconsin volunteers. The battle of Stone river made him a second lieutenant, Chlckamauga added a bar to his shoulder straps, and Atlanta made him a captain. General Harrison C. Hobart then made bim one of his staff, and be remained a staff officer until the close of the war. Major Stuart entered the railway postal service In 1866, when that branch of the postofflce department wasin Its Infancy! He~~gaTnel promotion rapidly, and in 1871 was chief clerk In the railway mall service for Iowa. He could have been superintendent of the service, but declined the place because 1t would necessitate bl« removal to another part of the country. The work of the inspector's department attracted him. and he was i crashed the government thanked Stuart and indorsed everything he had done. It is one of Major Stuart's proud boasts—he rarely boasts, however— that he never went after a tbief and failed to get him. Althdugh Inspector iu charge, be takes immense satisfaction at times la handling a difficult case personally, and some of his experiences have been of a thrilling sort. The postal division In charge of Major Stuart embraces within Its limits Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Mtehlgan. While not The largest in area, one-sixth of all the money-order offices *»re located in thl3 division, and about that per cent of tho general postoffice business is transacted within the division. TO UTILIZE MARSH GRASS. Company Formed to Manufacture from It T*lue, Kup« and Matting. The tendency so characteristic of the present age to put to practical use what has heretofore been considered largely waste or useless material has found fresh exemplification in a new enterprise, at the head of which is ex- Senator Warner Miller of New York. Throughout Wlsconsin.southern Michigan aud Minnesota are thousands of acres of marsh land upon which grows tall, rank, coarse grass, which is practically without any commercial value. Some of the finer varieties are utilized as hay, although without any propounced edible or nourishing qualities, and occasionally some of the coarser varieties are used as bedding for stock, but as a ru'e only an exceedingly small portion of the million of tons which grow every year finds any use whatever. All this, by the aid of Ingenious machinery, can be readily con- "uRefuT~artTc1es of commerce, such as binding twine, rope, cotton bagging, matting, and a substitute for carpef paper, and promises to develop into an industry in which thousands of people win find employment. Tho enterprise Is called a new one, although it has been In successful operation for over a year, but It Is only recently that plans MAJ. JAMES E. STUART. appointed thereto upon application. This was the beginning oi Major Stuart's real career. He soon demonstrated to the government that he was especially qualified for the peculiar detective work required of. an inspector, and the department soon showed IU appreciation by intrusting Rome'of Its biggest and most important cases to his handling. He invariably succeeded in what he went about. His splendid work in ferreting out the famous star route frauds in the west secured bis appointment as inspector In charge of the northwest division in 1876, and this enlarged Major Stuart's opportunities for fine achievements. Through his efforts and by his suggestions the postoffice department succeeded In driving the Louisiana lottery out of the United States, Major Stuart advising changes in the law which would enable prosecution of lottery companies at the poir' where their maU wai delivered. His most famous achievement was his successful puosecutkra of the principals in the noted "Fund W" and the Guarantee Invest* oaent Company, two fraudulent concerns which robbed thousands of per^ sons by the ttft* of the mails. In the "Fund W" case Major Stuart exceeded his authority in his seal to capture the promoters. He held the mall of the concern, and as it piled up, the conspirators were frantic to secure it. Tneir business was being mined. Stuart "efused to yield. They offered him. $20,000 If he would simply Keep his bands off property he had no right to hold, but Stuart smiled blandly and told them to save the money for their defense. After the toiffiilty had been \ have been perfected for pushing it on an extensive scale. Within the last few weeks **e large plant of the Northwestern Cordage company of St. Paul has been purchased by the new company, and is being put in shape for handling the product, while contracts have already been made for 15,000 or 20.000 tons of marsh grass for use during the coming season. The grass, wjycta will be mostly used, is what is known as "wire" grass, which has a tough, hard, round stem, and In absolutely without any value as a food product. This can be made into a bindns twine, which Is said to be fully equal to that made from Manila hemp, and at a cost of at least onethird less than the latter. Certain kinds of rope will also be made from this grass, especial attention to be given to that kind which is used for the purpose of tying up hides. It Is the purpose to use coarser varieties of grass in manufacture of roughly woven cotton bapjrinpw of which an immense amount is used in the south. It will make, it Is cla med, strong, durable and cheap bagging. The finer grass will be woven into matting, which Is Raid to make an excellent substitute for Japanese matting. It takes dyes readily, and makes a floor covering as durable as It is attractive. Another use to which it is claimed it can be put to excellent advantage is that of a lining for carpets, and a decided superiority Is claimed for it over the paper lining sow used for that purpose. Old people ran not act cute, and they should not try it. THE CZAR DESIRES PEACE. luuea a Note Proposing; th« Reduction of Powerful ArtuuueuU of Europe. St. Petersburg: Hy order of Emperor Nicholas, Count Muravieff, the foreign minister, hauiied to the foreign diplomats at St. Petersburg" a note declaring that the raaintcuuuee of peace and the redxiction of the excessive armaments now crushing1 all nations are the ideals for which all governments, ought to strive. The czar considers tho present moment favorable for the Inauguration of a movement looking to this end and invites the powers to take part in an international conference a» a means of thus insuring real and lasting peace and terminating tho progressive increase of armament. London: The czar's proposition for an international conference for the purpose of securing real and lasting peace uuiontf the powers und the termination of the progressive increase in armaments, and conveyed in a- note from Count Muravieff, the Russian foreign minister to the foreign diplomats at St. Petersburg, is likely to produce a sensation throughout Europe, and coming from such a quarter and with such evident sincerity of purpose, it ih likely to have important effects. There is no doubt thut with Hussiu taking the lead in such a step, (lermany, France and the other nations will be ready to follow. Paris: The French newspapers generally distrust the practicability of the czar's peace scheme, and clearly indicate that France would make tho restoration of Alstue-Lorraine a pre-requisite to her participation in the conference. Washington: The extraordinary circular note directed by the Russian foreign minister to the members of the attracted the earnest attention of the officials here. It is believed that the victory achieved by the U. S. in the late war was a strong factor in the preparation of the note. The official mind looks upon the Russian project for a g-eneral disarmament as Utopian at this time, and the impression prevails that our government would not care to take any active part in its deliberations. American Peace CommlMftioners.

"I've seen tem," said Mrs. Peter Peppercourt, whose husband kept the village dry goods store. "No!" Mid Mrs. Doxy, who lived on a pension and affected extreme gendl- Ity. "Is It a large family?' "Only two," said Mrs. Peppercourt, "but such a heap of baggage! Piano, guitar case, easel, nineteen trunks and four valises! And a carload of furniture! Bedsteads, all French walnut and gliding, with canopy tops, and crimson satin Bofas, and—oh! I couldn't begin to tell you what else, if I talked from now until doomsday!" "Dear, dear!" said Mrs. Doxy, "and only two of 'em, you say?" "Only two," said Mrs. Peppercourt, "an old gentleman and his young wife." And when Miss Jemima Judkins eam« up to tea in the afternoon she brought more news. "Their name la Egerton," said she, "Mr. and Mrs. Roland Egerton! Isn't It a deliclously romantic name?" "How do you know?' cried Mrs. Doxy and Mrs. Peppercourt in chorus. "I saw it painted in big white letters on the end of the sewing machine box," said Miss Judkins. "And I saw her at tbe porter's lodge this afternoon giving some orders. She is as fair as a poet's dream. It is but too common a tale—youth and beauty bartered for gold. I wouldn't sell myself to an old a king's ransom!" "Humph!" uttered Mrs. Peppercourt. who had no particular sympathy with he age of romance. "Perhaps you nlrtt—if you had the chance! Never mind about that just now," as she saw ihe crimson stain of wrath mounting 'o Miss Jemima Judkins' sallow cheek, •but about these people. Seem pretty stylish, eh?" "Beyond all question," said Miss Jemima, loftily. "I'll call next week," said Mrs. Doxy. She did, but to her regret nobody was at home, and the visit was not returned. "Rtuck-up creatures!" said Mrs. Doxy. Miss Judkins about this time repived an invitation from her cousin. he wiiow of Archer, to spend a few days with her at her cottage at Long Branch. Mrs. Archer's paid companon had left her on a visit to some sick relative or other, and Mrs. Archer felt he need of some one to snub, scold. and have handy in general. "I'll go." said Miss Judkins. "Seena Archer Is very trvinq at times. but Serena is rich and I need a change Oh. y«s; 111 go." At the end of a fortnight she came home again and was promptly invited by Mrs. Peppercourt to tea. "Well/' said Miss Judkins, "what news?" "Not much," paid Mrs. Doxy. "Hugh Eberthas failed." "I've been expecting It ever since his wife pot that new Nile green silk," said Jemima, rolling up her eyes. "Parson Grinder's got a call to Wes* Brieriy." "All the better for us," said Miss Jemima, maliciously. "And Mrs. Ronald Egerton has left that poor old husband of hers all alone, devotion of their manner what was goiug on?' "Of course," added Mrs. Doxy, "there will be a divorce suit, and then, Jemima, my chanoe or yours will l e as good as any one's for the affection of the dear, misguided old pent!" Miss Jemima Judkins hesitated and doubted, but was talked over at last, and, accompanied by Mrs. Doxy, started for the manor house. Mr. Egerton, who sat reading tn his library, looked up in some surprise at this Incursion. Mrs. Doxv introduced Miss Jem'ma Judkins;" Miss Jemima then performed her part of tbe ceremony by introducing "Mrs. Daniel Doxy." Mr. Egerton bowed low. "Ladles," said he. In all courtesy, "to what do I owe the pleasure of this call?" "It's your wife, sir," burat out Mils Judkins. "My wife?' repeated the old gentleman. "Yea, your wife! At Long Branch! Flirting and carrying OK with a young man within an inch of her life! While you—ah, my heart bleeds to th'nk you should be the victim of such wifely treachery!" Mr. Egerton looked bewildereJ, then amused. He pulled a little red velvet case containing a photograph from his vest pocket. "Is this the gentleman?" asked he, opening the case with a sprng. "The very one!" cried Miss Jemima, tragically clasping her bands. "Oh? I hope—I do hope he is not one whom you have unwittingly fostered in your bosom, reverend sir!" "Well. I believe I have done something of the kind," raid Mr. Egerton, my son, Roland Eeferton, Jr. The lady whom you are pleaded to call my wife Is bis! I am a widower of 25 years' standing!" "They—they're not married!" croaked Miss Jemima. "Certainly they are." said Mr. Egerton. "Ladies, I wl«h you a very good morning. And after this you wlll.perbaps. learn to mind your own business!" And so the two gossips retrpn'erl In great discomfiture. But as to taking Mr. Egerton's advice—it isn't likely that they d'd — Bnffa'o C*n8«<« of Hay Pcrer. "The season is approaching," said a prominent physician to a Star writer, "when a great many people who suffer from what is known as hay fever, and as but few who are susceptible to the complaint know how to avoid, mucn less cure it, a few remarks about the nature and treatment of the ailment may not be uninteresting. Hay fever is a nervous affection usually, most prevalent during the spring and early Riimmpr, frnm "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!" while she's gone off to Long Branch, gallivanting like any young girl. Didn't happen to see her, did you?" Miss Jemima drew a significant sigh. "£h!M echoed Mra. Doxy, setting down her teacup. "Yes, I did me her." said Miss Jemima. "And I wish—I do sincerely with, tor the honor of humanity and the peace of yonder poor, old, deluded gentleman up there at the manor house —that 1 hadn't" "Now. you don't tell us!" says Mrs. Peppercourt. **I did see her.' solemnly went on Mlsa Jedkins, driving out with a young gentleman—bathing in. the surf with the n m e young gentleman—waltzing at night with the same young gentleman1— whispering love to ' the same young gentleman in a summer house on the beach." "How do you know?" cried Mrs. Doxy. "Were you near enough to hear?" "No," said Miss Jemima. "I didn't hear! But I could easily tell from the and more especially those living in populous towns rarely if ever suffer. It is known only to the educated,whose nervous systems are highly developed, and thougn not in any sense dangerous, it is at all times very Irritating and troublesome. The smell of hay, grass, the pollen of flowers, the odor of fruit, dust or draught will generate the complaint 07 excite an attack, in persons subject to it; but rain or damp weather invariably brings relief. At one time it was generally supposed that the odor of hay when being mown or carted could alone induce the affection, which is closely analogous to asthma, but recent observation shows that its prevalence is entirely independent of the existence of hay fields, and Is really a nervous derangement. A visit to the seaside, a trip to sea, or residence iv a populous town, will,however, remove the asthmatic tendency, but one of the best remedies is tobacco smoke, retained in the mouth as long as possible. The inhalation of the steam of ten drops of creosote in a pint of hot water is also good, or 20 drops of spirit of camphor to the same quantity of water makes a very effective inhalation. But the affection being a nervous one, tonics and nourishing diets are more essential than any of these palliatives, which merely afford temporary relief."—Washington Star. Wlnalows Parrot la Battle. "He was in his iron cage hanging right over the front of the tower there," the tar went on, in answer to several questions. "He didn't seem to mind things much, either.

'Doings of the Week Recorded in a ! Brief Style, !CONCISE AND INTERESTING. TI*e,83d uud 34th Michigan Regiments Reaoh ^iomt From Santiago and are Royally Welcomed — 9800,000 Lou bj Flr« at OW<MMO. Michigan'! Santiago Heroea Reach Home. The trip of the 33d and 34th Michigan regiments from New York to Detroit on their way home from Santiago was a hot, dusty, tiresome journey of 30 (to 40 hours which was trying on the strongest, to say nothing of the suffering it entailed upon the sick boys. .During the entire trip the soldiers were shown every possible kindness at the 'stations where stops were made. Professional nurses met the trains at several stations and brought with them milk, fruit and other delicacies, which they distributed as freely as the boys would receive. At Toledo a large delegation of prominent Detroit and Michigan citizens, headed by Gov. Pingree, met the first section of the train qnd carried put well-laid plans whereby every soldier was appointed to some hotel and every sick hero was listed for a particular hospital, so that when the trains arrived at Detroit the boys were either placed in carriages or marched Jba their destinations. The Cadillac alone accommodated over 400, and other hotels took them in the same proportion and treated them magnificently. Citizens donated their carriages for use of troops and they were transported to hotels in short order. A large citizens1 committee appointed to assist in the reception saw that every man was cared for. Ambulances took all ill with fever direct to best hospitals, 133 sick in all, and about that many more who should have crone, but who bore up with great fortitude. ,. Never did Detroit turn out larger and more enthusiastic crowds than thronged the streets for an entire night to welcome the brave boys home again and never did heroes receive a more royal welcome. The train carrying the troops was divided into five sections. The first arrived at 12:15 a. m. after the crowds had waited patiently for over five hours from the time the train was first expected. The first section carried the first division 33d regiment under Col. Boynton: Co. A, Flint, 31 men; B, Alpena, 31; E, Saginaw, 54; __Ex_Cheboygan, 56; G, Owosso, 45; I, Benton Harbor, 58;~?3d regiment-band of 12 men; and 8 regimental officers. In the second division, in charge of Maj. Burton, arrived at 5:25 a. m. with •Cos. C, Bay City, 65 men; D, Saginaw, 4>0; L, Sons of Veterans, 36; M, Detroit, 60; K, Three Rivers, 40; F, Port Huron, ty); 16 officers, all of the Thirty-third. .The third train load, in charge of Lieut.-Col. Bennett, was made up of the following 34th regiment companies: A, Big Rapids, 57 men; C, Muskegon, 644 E, Iron Mountain, 44; H, Ironwood, 21; K, Mt. Clemens, 37; L, "Marquette, 20; M, Traverse City, 48, besides--about 30 men of the 33d. The fourth carried five companies of the 34th in command of Col. Petermann: Co. B, Manistee, ,76 men; D, Calumet, 00; F, Hough ton, 62; G, Sault Ste. Ste. Marie; L, Upper Peninsula, 55, and I, Ionia, The fifth and last section arrived eight hours after the first. It comprised a long train of baggage and cattle cars with 60 men detailed to look after the horses. There were no sick ones among the men, but they looked tired with their long dreary ride. They were given as cordial a reception as the first arrivals. While their welcome at Detroit was all that could be asked, and many times more than the boys expected, still all were anxious vto get to their own homes and as soon as they had had sleep and refreshment special trains were, made up on the various Mdlroads at Detroit to carry the boys to their families and friends. Co. B, 33d, of Alpena, did not stop in Detroit at all, but took the D. & C. steamer for home at once. Every city and town in the state which boasted the honor of having a soldier boy in the 33d or 34th gave them a grand reception when they arrived home, thousands of people turning out to greet them and giving every evidence of great joy at seeing their friends and loved ones safe again. Through all this joy there was an air of sadness and tears for there were heroes of the regiments who did not come. Some are taking- last rest in Cuban soil; others had already been brought home and laid away by loving hands; scores more were on beds of paiu and fever in various hospitals', arid those who could march at home were so haggard and worn from privation and sickness that there was a strong pulling at one's heartstrings as he cheered them a welcome home. But from fervent hearts everywhere there went up thanks to God that these had been spared. UWUKIO'I llljf Loss. A lire which sUutod i:i the Woodward furniture works at Uwosso destroyed that plant; the Owosso Brewing Co. *s plant, Crowe & l'uyue's agricultural implement warehouse and several smaller buildings, and much other property was saveil by a shift in the wind.

Albert Liscomb, a well-to-do farmer, walked into D. M.Scriver's hardware store at Goodrich and asked to see some rewlvers and cartridges. When two bullets were put in place Liscomb said that would do, took the revolver from the merchant's hand, plaeed it against his left temple and sent the bullet through his brain. He fell instantlj* and was dead before anyone reached bis side. Some people in the lower part of Michigan have an idea that the northern portion of this peninsula is a waste of sand barrens and pine stumps. The fact that Lewiston, in Montmorencv county, is shipping a carload of wheat a week, all raised in the immediate vicinity, doesn't quite bear out that idea, however. While in Sherman township, Iosco county, one farmer reports a yield of wheat of 69 bushels from one and a quarter bushels of seed sown on one acre of ground. The 32d Michigan regiment was on board its trains three days and nights in making the transfer from Fernandina, Fla.. to Huntsville, Ala., and they landed at their destination in a downpour of rain through which they marched two miles to camp. Arriving there the tents were found to be completely rain soaked, and mud and water two and three feet deep covered the ground. Col. McGurrin at once ordered the men back to the city to obtain such shelter as they could get. The news that the 32d was to be mus tered out soon was gratefully received by the men. After the 33d and 34th Michigan regiments had left Camp Eaton for southern camps officers were sent through the state for recruits to bring th* regiments tip to the quota of 106 men to each company. Before the recruits could join the regiments' the latter had sailed for Cuba and the recruits were concentrated at Camp Alger, but later were transfered to' Camp Meade. Now they have been ordered mustered out and 228 men of the 33d and 298 at the 34th were sent to Camp Eaton, Island Lake, and were granted 30 days furlough at their homes before being mustered out.

Killed 18,000 DervlshM. London: The khalifa's forces have been utterly routed in the Upper Nile region of Egypt and Khartoum is in possession of the British - Egyptian forces under Gen. Kitchener. The town is a complete ruin. Khalifa Abdullah and Osman Digna, his principal general, managed to escape, but Abdullah's banner and thousands of prisoners were taken. It is estimated that 15,000 of the enemy were slain. British total casualties were about 500. The entire British force was engaged from 6:30 in the morning until sunset. The dervishes resorted to their usual rushing tactics, and were simply mowed down. The khalifa's cavalry rode pell-mell at the British infantry column; but the footmen never wavered. The deadly fire poured into the enemy's rushing ranks caused the death of nearly every rider. The heroic bravery of the dervishes evoked universal admiration. Time after time their dispersed and broken forces reformed and hurled themselves upop the Anglo- Egyptians, their emirs conspicuously leading and spurning death. Even when in^death agonies _they_ raised themselves to fire a last shot. The sirdir, Gen. Sir Herbert Kitchener, with the* khalifa's black standard captured during the battle, entered Omdurman, the capital of Mahdiam, at the head of the Anglo-Egyptian column. Only two British ofllcers were killed. Gen. Kitchener telegraphs: f'The remnant of the khalifa's force has surrendered and I have now a very large number of prisoners on my hands. Our cavalry and gunboats are still pursuing the khalifa and his chiefs, who with only about 140 fighting1 men are apparently making for Kordofan." Populist National Convention. The Populist national convention at Cincinnati got into such a row that the manager of the Lyceum ordered them to leave the hall, fearing the destruction of his property. Order was finally restored by the Butler faction bolting and leaving the hall. The convention nominated Wharton Barker, of Pennsylvania, for president, by a vote of 128 4-5, as against 97 1-5 for Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota. On motion of Mr. Donnelly the nominathe'n_ Donnelly was nominated for vice-president by acclamation. A very large platform was adopted which incorporated the provisions of the Omaha platform.

R. at The remnant of that magnificent army (^ heroea who fought for their country in 1861-5 held their 32d annual reunion at Cincinnati, und the Queen City received them and treated taem most royally. The streets were waving masses of tvi-cqlored bunting ^nd flags, the red, white and blue being'in evidence on every side, together with the lone star banner of Cuba. The city was never in gayer holiday dress. Immense and beautiful arches spanned the streets at various points, adding rautfh to the beauty of the scene and the electric light designs displayed at night were gorgeous. Fully 50,000 veterans participated in the various events of the w«ok and twice as many other visitors thronged the city to witneart the grand parade and review and other feature* of the annual encampment. ' The Women's Relief Corps and Ladles of the.G. A. R. held their conventions simultaneously with the G. A. R. meeting and their presence contributed largely to the interest of the occasion. The citizens tendered receptions to Commander-in-Chief Gobln, Rear Admiral Kelley, Mrs. 8. J. Martin, president of the W. R. C, Mrs. Flora M. Davey, president of the Ladies of 4>he O. A. R., Mrs. Jennie Laird, president of the national ssociationof the Ladies of the Naval Veterans, and others. The arrival of the national and state department oflicers and the various state delegations were events full of interest, and none attracted more attention than the Michigan men, De- _troit post particularly receiving many cbMpTTmenli=o1erth^^pe^ai>peaTttaceofits men and their proficiency in drill. The first spectacular feature of the encampment was the parade of the National Navnl association and the Ex-Prisoners of War association. The spectators could not iail to be impressed with a sad feeling that they were looking upon a body of men whose days of inarching must soon end. A strong contrast was shown when the Eighth regiment U. S. volunteers; a colored regiment stationed at Ft. Thomas, followed the veterans and were in turn followed by the boys of the schools-—the younger hope of the country—passed by, bearing arms. The features of the first day were the regimental, brigade and other reunions at which the old comrades got closer together than on any other occasions. Camp fires were held at various points the first three evenings of the week. The business of the thirty-second annual encampment of the Grand Army and its auxiliaries began after three days of preliminary demonstrations. While heated contests were going on inside of the guarded doors of the encampment all the demonstrations on the outside in the city were "In" accord with the peace jubilee. The parade of the civic and industrial organizations in the afternoon with all the illustrations of peace and prosperity and happiness that could be produced was the most magnificeut pageant ever witnessed in Cincinnati. It is estimated that there were 40,000 in line and over 500,000 spectators along the line. The encampment convened at 2:30 o'clock. The first business in order was a lengthy report from the committee on pensions. The report dealt extensively in an effort to refute the charge that the pension roll was a roll of dishonor. It cited the fact that expensive investigations had been undertaken by the department of different states, and after a close inquiry there had been not a single case of fraud discovered wfaieh could be traced to a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. The committee gave figures showing that the death rate was rapidly increasing among pensioners. The number dying each year now exceeds 40,000. It is estimated that the increase in the number of deaths each year will be such that in 1920 the number of pensioners be reduced to a little over 250,- 000 and: that in 1940 the list will be obliterated. An> interruption of regular business was the presentation to ex-Command* r-inrChief Clarkson, of Nebraska, of a magnificent stiver set in an oaken case. The ex-commander, with deep feelisg-, made a response expressing his thanks for the high honor shown A motion was made immediately afterward to go into the election of oosnaaander> in-chief. The name of Albert Shaw, of Watertown, N. Y., was presented by a dele* gate of that state. Gen. John C. Black, of IlliMia, plaeed in nominatkm Jamea A. Sexto*, of Chicago.

A delegate from Kansas, explained that the name of Thomas J. Anderson, of Topeka, which had been mentioned as i candidate, would not be presented. The roll of states waa then called and the vote was announced showing* the election of James A. Sexton, who received 4S4 votes, while Albert D, 241. ~ . ' • " .

He was Kane an hour or two, and when he returned the hotelkeeper met him at the door. "Miss Stuart has been calling for you, Mr. Monteith, and has just gone. Now what a pity you were not back ten minutes a&o, and you wpuld not -have missed her!" said the worthy Mr. Nicholson. "But she left a. note, for you, sir. Here it is." Monteith took the dainty envelope, from whiqh a subtle perfume of sweet violets arose, and glanced at the ad* dress. He.was too astonished to speak. He took it into his room—a regular bachelor's room, with pipes strewn about the mantlepiece, and his bicycle, which had been mended since his ac~ cidept, standing against the wall. There he tare open the note. "Dear Evan," ran the bold, dashing writing of, Lilith Stuart, "I am BO sorry to find you are out. I must see you again. If only for a minute. Do not be unmerciful; grant me this that I ask of you. Meet me at the Rowan Crag at two o'clock exactly. I shall be there. Yours; ttttth. F. W^—ishall depend" on you." What could it mean? Had Lilith repented? He could hardly thihk so, knowing of her what he did. If not, what more could she have to say to him on the subject? It was Impossible to conjecture. The note puzzled Evan. "But I must go. I shall give her that last chance," he thought. "I shall meet her at two, as she askn. There will be time after that for me to run round to Abbot's Head." It was half-past one when he started from the Gow Hotel. The path from the town towards the seashore road was steep and stony. Evan walked his machine down It, as he usually did. Once on the seashore road, he mounted and rode as quickly as the hllliness of the path would permit. His machine was a high-grade one, with Dunlop tfres and high-geared, so that he had to put a good deal of pressure on the pedals in ascending the hill. He was near the top, and the path was very stony, when suddenly his fore wheel came In contact with a Jarge stone_he had not noticed. The wheel went over, but the next Instant there was a sound as of something cracking beneath him.; then the whole frame seemed thrown violently over, and before Evan could help himself he was shot over the handlebars, and landed on his back a little distance away from the machine. Luckily he was not much hurt, and in a few seconds was able to pick himself up and look at his machine. To his amazement, the front fork had snapped at the point where it w&* drilled tor the axle, the framework had lurched, the axle springing from the socket, and the wheel had "buckled." "I am an unfortunate beggar," muttered Monteith to himself. "This Is the second time I've come to grief in these Islands of nightless summer. Well, there's nothing for it but to leave the machine here and hurry on to keep my appointment. I can trust the natives .not to touch it." He had scratched his hand severely and twisted his arm; but these were trifling injuries to what he might have experienced* And as Evan hurried on, he thanked God for what seemed almost a miraculous escape. "If It had happened near Rowan Crag, God only knows where I might be now!" he thought to himself, shuddering a little as he hurried onwards. If he had understood better the terrible nature of the danger he had escaped, his thank* would have been deeper than they were. "I am going along by the cliffs this afternoon, Miss Troll. You will tell Lady Weetray so." "Oft your machine, Miss Stuart?" Elspeth Troll asked, looking up quickly. "Ye«; on my machine. Why not?" "I do not know that It is Quite safe," Elspeth 4ald, taming away again to look out of the window. Nicholson Juts not mended that broken fence yet." Cilith laughed a little. "You think I am afraid? It takes more than a broken fence to frighten me, Miae Troll." She passed out of the room, and Elsptth looked after her uneasily. "I do not know why I ahould feel «o about this sudden re»oiY« of hen," «h« gaid to herself at last, rislt* and walking uneasily about the room. "I feti at if—ai If aooM ttrrlhto cat— trap** were oanglnf or«r ui all, a&4 2 * # ted a. biod la It Bui*? J an allowing my imagination to run away with me? And yet—" She paused by the work-basket which stood in a corner of the room. A book had been hastily thrown into it. Half mechanically Elspeth picked it up. It was entitled "Cyeling; Common Accidents, and How to Avert Them." The book fell open at a leaf which had been folded down. The section was headed, "Fork and Axle; How They Break, and How to Repair." Elspeth glanced over the page and, as she did so, a strange pallor came into her face. , Suddenly she threw down the book and rested a trembling hand on the table. Whence had come that sudden, horrible thought which had leaped upon her like a beast of* prey, and was now holding her in a deadly grip that she could not shake off? Elspeth did not know; but before the horror of it she shuddered and covered her face, feeling suddenly icy cold, though the day was warm. "I am mad!" she whispered presently, lotting her handa fall. "God forbid that anything so horrible fihpuld_be real!" Arid yet why not go out mysel. and—and avert danger, if there should be any?" Lady Westray was taking her afterluncheon nap. Elspeth ran downstairs, put on a hat In the hall and, starting through the grounds, was soon on the seashore path. It was a September afternoon, and a glorious day—not too sultry, but with the first cool breath of, Autumn in the air. As Elspeth raced along, listening to the soft swish-swish of the waves as they broke on the cliffs below, the invigorating air seemed to banish the horrible fear that had seized her mind in so sudden and wild a fashion. "What a wicked, suspicious mind I must have!" she thought. Even as the thought pa8a*4 through her mind she noticed the tall figure of a man walking rapidly toward her. For a moment Elspeth thought it was Evan Montieth, and her heart beat fast; but in a few seconds she saw her mistake, and recognized him as Magnus Halcrow. On a sudden impulse she moved from the pathway, and retreated towards the line of rowan-trees and birche* which ran along higher up from the cliff. As she did so the whirring sound of a bicycle comlag rapidly along the road startled her. She looked round. It was Lilith, who came flying along the dangerous road like a creature of the woods and sea, her masses of reddishaubnrn hair floating about her, her lips part-id, her eyes wild with excitement. She vas rushing at a breakneck speed. Elst/eth could have shrieked aloud to see her. She waa close to that dangerous part —the part of- the cliff-road which was so close to the rocks that it had been guarded by a palisade of wood for the safety of pedestrians or riders. Only the day before the keeper had come to inform Miss Stuart that a portion of the fencing had been broken down, evidently by some malicious person, and that the path was therefore dangerous. Yet, in defiance of this, Lilith had elected to ride along'this road today. Why had ehe done so? As Elspeth gazed with fascinated eyes, hardly drawing a breath, at the flying wheel and its rider, Magnus suddenly emerged into the path round a turning. Did Ulith Stuart see him? Did she recognize him? Did she take him for some one else? None knew—none should ever know in this world. She rode on wildly, her pedals hardly seeming to revolve, so rapid was the motion. A log lay across the road. The rider could not have noticed it, for the next moment her machine rocked wildly. A shriek rose to Elspeth's lips. She checked it, with a strange feeling that she herself was about to die. Then—oh, God, how could Elspeth look on it and still live?—the pedestrian had sprung forward and evidently made a wild attempt to seise the machine. For one moment—It was all done in the twinkling of an eye—Elspeth saw Lilith Stuart's face as she wildly threw her head backwards. Its expression of horror, amaxement and white despair would haunt Elspeth as long as she lived. A scream rent the air—roch a scream as one hears in a nightmare, and cannot forget for days—a scream from Lllith'i lips; and then—Elspeth was gating wildly at empty spaoe! Man, woman, bicycle—all had disappeared. Klspeth thought she uttered a cry; La reality no sound came frosa hex dry lips and throat. Ssv- oulci neve, afterwards recall what sfte did. . The first thing she was conscious of wtta that she was looking Into Bran Monteltb's face and trying, with lips that refused to move or do her bidding, to tell him all. But she knew that he understood her when she saw his own face grow pale as death. "Wait here," he said hoarsely, seising her hand In a momentary grasp. "I shall run tor Nicholson, and we shall go down to the shore together. Don't move till I come back." When he returned she was still there; but her expression frightened even the keeper, and she was shivering from head to foot like one In an ague. "Run on to the castle, Miss Troll. Send men with stretchers," said Monteith, speaking very quietly. "Have things ready for them, and pray God they may be required." Elspeth Troll only asked one question. "You will bring both to the castle?" "We will, Miss," answered the keeper, whose face reflected the pallor of Monteith's. Elspeth was waiting in the hall when, an hour later, the terrible cortege arrived. It was she who had done everything—despatched the men with stretchers, telegraphed for a doctor, soothed Lady Westray, and was in violent hysterics, and directed the horror- stricken servants. She had kept up her courage while, doing all this; but now, as the men solemnly filed into the hall, carrying between them two rude litters covered with sheets, under which lay—oh, God what?—a strange dizziness came over Elspeth, and she had to cling to the wall for support. Evan Montetth came to hor cirtw, as Elspeth's eyes wildly sought his face, she guessed the truth. "No use deceiving you, Miss Troll," he said, his voice low and husky. "No power on earth can do anything for her. She must have been killed instantaneously, that is one consolation." "And he?" whispered Elepeth. "Still lives, thank God!" said Monteith. And he lifted his hat from his head reverently. Elspeth slipped from his hold and knelt for a moment on that marble floor, corering her face with her hands. When she roee, Evan Monteith, looking in her face, read there the secret of Elspeth Troll's life. (To be Continued.) CHIVALRY AT CHAPULTEPEC NobU Act of • MlMiMtpplsn in tb« Storming' of the Fortress. The Hon. John Temple Graves, in a brief speech before Georgia Woman's Club, told on the spur of the moment a beautiful story—a true story—which err1 halms the heroism and surpassing chivalry of a gallant veteran now living in Atlanta. Mr. Graves said: "This Is an era of heroes. We are glorifying the prowess of Dewey and Hobson and Blue and crowning them with immortal memories. And this is right. The appreciation of heroes produces heroes. Men do not mind risking their lives for a country that will remember the daring. And the time to recognize heroes is while they live, not after they are dead. Let us remember our present heroes while they are with us, and let us not now or ever forget the heroes yet living whose prowess glorified an earlier day. "There is a hero and a night of chivalry in this hall to-night, Le me tell you the splendid story which his modest lips have never told: "The war with Mexico is a part of our martial history. Taylor and Scott and Davis and Lee came out of it immortal. The epic of the great struggle was the storming of Chapultepec. That frowing fortress was the Gibraltar of Mexico. Its massive walls seemed impregnable. But American daring halted at no obstacles, and an intrepid band of volunteers was chosen to scale and assault It. "Among the first of the dauntless few who braved their way through the shot and shell to the fortress on that dreadful day was a young Mississippian, handsome as Alcibiades, proud, confident, and thrilling with patriotic ferver. He was among thctfrst if not one of the first, to scale the wall, and, sword in hand, dashed along that storm-swept rampart in advance of all his fellows, to cut down the waving flag of the enemy and reap the Immortality of the deed. He was the first to reach the flag; his sword was raised, when he heard swift footsteps behind him. He paused, turned and saw his commanding officer, to whom he was tenderly attached and deeply obligated. And then this gallant Mississippian, without a moment's hesitation,^ with the bow of a Chesterfield, lowered his sword and with the point at rest stood aside while his friend and commanding officer cut down tbe flag of Mexico and was bulletined for the laurels of that splendid day. In the history of battles there was never more gallant, more chivairie deed than that And the real hero of Chapultepec maimed and gray, but glorious still, sits just before me here tonight in tbe person <rf my aoble and Moped friend. GeatnJ WUttas*. & THE PLOT FAILED. An Attempt Mad* to Kill the 0 of A dispatch from London says: A report is published here of a daring plot to assissinate the czar of Bussia at Moscow. The plan of the conspirators was to allow gas to escape into a house on the route of the czar's procession until the atmosphere in every roojn had become saturated. One of their number was to remain in the house and strike a light When the czar was passing, in expectation that the house would be blown to pieces and the czar killed by the flying debries. The conspirator would perish himself as a sacrifice to the cause. The duty fell to the lot of one Alexander Kolanoff. In his agitation Kolanoff seems to have made an error, as the explosion was mistimed. When it occurred, a staff officer and hits wife were driving past the house, and they, instead of the czar, were killed. Their coachman will probably die of his injuries and about 30 other persons were more or less seriously injured. Kolanoff's mangled body was found among the ruins. The czar and czarina drove by just 2ft minutes later. Many arrests have been made in Moscow, but the Russian tress has been forbidden to refer to the matter. Grand Army Parade. The great annual parade of the Grand Army eclipsed ail other events, with a bright blue sky and everything in its favor it surpassed all expectations. The procession moved in the following order: Grand Marshal Gen. A. Hickenlooper and staff; Old Glory; color guard—Cavalry elub; Commander-in-Chief Gen. J. P. S.

Many extraordinary cases of the work of the little conqueror are coming to light in Michigan. Hundreds of them have been investigated by our representative and each but gives added strength to those which hare gone before. Such well deserved words of praise are daily showered on this modern wonder-worker from all parts of the Union. Speaking of her experience a lady of Grand Rapids, Mrs. Jno. Gardner, who resides at No. 309 Second street, says: For over 20 years I was bothered with kidney trouble, tmd despite treatment bv physicians and u*in;: almost every remedy that come to mv notice I received no permanent relief until I tried Doan's Kidney PUls. No one except those who have been through the mill of kidney complaint can tell the torture that one endures. The constant pains across my back extending up the right side: totally unable to lie on my rfcht side: the stiffness and numbness of my limbs: the excruciating pain: is something much more easy to think about than to express. Many a time my husband has had to rub my back to get up the circulation before I was able to net on my feet. My family prevailed on me to try Doan's Kidney PiUs. but as I had used dozens of other remedies I had very little nope of finding relief. They persisted in their advice and in the fall of lJtttt" I used three ooxes. I felt like a different person. I tros in better health than I had been in years. The pain in my back left. I slept well at night. I could do my housework as well as I ever ooold, and I give the entire credit to Doan"s Kidney Pills. I make this statement so that other women who suffer aa I suffered may be in » position to know what to - use if they wish to get rid of that too prevalent disease, kidney complaint.

A motonuan in Brooklyn fainted twice Tuesday nlgkt, onc« from fright and once because be found that he had not crushed out a human life. He 1B the most remarkable motor man in Brooklyn. He Is different from all hla kind, says the New York Herald. He was running his car along at full speeJ at 1:30 o'clock, when the motorman eaw a figure lying upon the truck. He tried to stop the car. He was too late. There was a whirring sound, a crushing, grinding noise, which gradually ceased, and then tke car stopped. The motorman saw a shoe over the edge of the fender. He put his hands to hin face and fell backward in a dead faint. More than a score of passengers wiiJi bleached faces left the car and leaked at the form beneath the trucks. The limbs were twisted about the wheels and wisps of straw showed from the torn clothing. The passengers, *%fter much difficulty, extricated the form which had been run over and found it was that of a Spanish general of great distinction. The man who had been run over had a card across his breast, which bore thja inscription: "This is vVeyler." Half a dozen passengers had meanwhile succeeded In reviving tho motorman. "Did I kill him?" asked the knight of the lever, when he revived. "That's all right, old man," said a good-natured passenger, slapping the motorman on the shoulder, "it was a straw one this time." No. 779 was in a daze. He looked at the passengers and then at the distorted figure upon the pavement. He jumped upon hijL car, released^ the lever and j ^ ran his empty co!i~veyalictr:wTln~""aT speed up the avenue. He stopped short in front of the police station. He abandoned his car and rushed into the house. "Sergeant," he said, "I've killed a man down at Powell street." There was a scurrying around the station house. A patrol wagon hastened to the scene of the accident. Fifteen minutes later three disgusted-looking policemen came back. "Brace up, old man," said one of them to the wildeyed motorman. "Your victim was a man of straw." Being told to "brace up," the" motorman fainted again. He was revived with appropriate stimulants and a few minutes later he was running his car again, blithe and hafpy. Young America OB War. An essay on the present war between the United States and Spain, wiitten by Paul Harper, the 6-year-old eon of William Hudson Harper of Evanston, 111., and printed in the Index, is as follows: "This war is prty sirius, and this is why ft is, beekas at first you no the Spanish ' Minister swor at Mukinerly and did not apolugls for such a long time. And irhe next slrlua -Hrtng--wt I should like to of seen that grate eksplotion. And then the Starvelng Cyobens are prty sirius to. And now we have beegun the war and many brave comrades will dide for ther country. Prhaps ther wiH not bee a man In the town, and meny a muther will mourn for her husbands. Ded lay they on the batlfld, and ther stand ther muthera weeping for ther huzbane. They take the war.ded to the hospitl and the ded to the graves. And meny Spanish ships will singk, and feew American ships wMl singk, and we shall flte the Spanyrds on land and sea, And bur flas waves over the Filupeens ilens this day and are army." The last page of the manuscript was embellished with drawings of one battleship with the stars and stripes flying from its masthead. Another man-of-war is shown just coming into sight.

When it comes to manual labor the average man is an Immune, Tlie man who looks upon the wlna When it Is red may feel blue later. A woman changes her mind so often that It keeps her busy speaking It. Tha man who attempts to flatter you la either a fool or he thinks you are one. We've often wondered what will become of the self-made man in cne final round-up. Just as soon as a man acquires his Ideal he begins to look around for a superior one. A woman admires one man for the qualities he has and loves another for those he hasn't. When a man asserts that he is Just as good as another man he always believes he's better. Conscience may tell a man that he la doing wrong, but fortunately it does- ! f h The widower who mourns the loss of his first wife sometimes has the period of his mourning extended by taking a second. The woman who is continually lecturing her husband either thinks he is a fool, or else she has forgotten that a word to the wise is sufficient. Every time Senator Steve ElWns hears of "some fine openings in Cuba for young Americans," he can't repress the thought that he is "just as young as he used to be." In Porto Rico the milkman milks his cow in front of the customer's door, which is several points ahead of the American way of milking the cow in front of the pump. The Canadian papers speak of a "Gen Foster" as one of the American commissioners at the Quebec conference. Mr. Foster is an "old diplomatic hand," but his new military title is probably of Kentucky origin. It Is ordered by a police authority In New York that no woman with short skirts shall be permitted on the streets of the town unless accompanied by a wheel, »or at least a tag signifying that she owns one. What Impudence is this! Any decent woman is a judge of those things better than forty police authorities, and decent women have rights that the police are bound to respect. And if a woman does ride a wheel can she be allowed to go around half naked? Lieutenant Hobson says he can raise and save the finest of Cervera's fleet, the Cristobal Colon, and get her into harbor at a cost of not to exceed $500,000. Spain claims that the vessel and her armament cost close on to six millions of dollars. She originally belonged to Italy and was known as the Garibaldi. The only fear Hobson has is the effect of the hurricanes of those seas now about due, wh^en ""might smash the vessel to pieces because ox her position on the reef. Admiral Sampson reports that one ship of the Spanish navy defeated by the fleet tinder his command will be floated and towed into port. In a recent dispatch to the navy department he says that AS soon as a small leak in the bow of the Infanta Maria Teresa la located tha ship will be pumped out and brought to the harbor of Guantanamo. Two new vessels may thus be soon added to our navy. Almost the whole of the public debt of tha nations of the world has been incurred in war. Sinoa 1702 Great Britain has added £904,000,000 to her public debt in seventy-five years of war, and diminished the dabt £276,- 000,000 In one hundred and twenty years of peace. Thus it takes more than five years of peace to pay the loss occasioned by one year of war. The set dabt of. the United States in July, Iftl, was $87,700,000; in August, 1865, It was $2,756,000,000. It reached the lowest point since the civil war in 1893, whan it waa $839,000,000. That Is, in twantj-eight years of peace this rich tsmntry had paid a little more than two-thirds of the debt incurred in four years of war. Franca staggers under * public debt which cause* an annual tatamat charge of $6.60 for every person In the country, and sha owes this Aebt chiefly to foreign and domestic wars.

Test Act*, 13sS6i "David After Be H»d Served HU Own Generation by Ut« Will of Uod Fell on Sleep-—Good Advice for Lawmaker* That is a text which has for a long time been running through my mind. Sermons have a time to be born as well as a time to die; a cradle as well as a grave. David, cowboy and stoneslinger, and fighter, and dramatist, and blank-verse writer, and prophet, did his best for the people of his time, and then went and laid down on the southern hill of Jerusalem in that sound slumber which nothing but an archangelic blast can startle. "David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep." It was hiB own generation that he had served; that is, the people living at the time he lived. And have you ever thought that our responsibilities are chiefly with the people now walking abreaBt of us? There are about four generations to a century now, but in olden times, lite was longer, and there wa3, perhaps, only one generation to a century. Taking these facts into the calculation, I make a rough guess, and say that there have been at least one hundred and eighty generations of the human family. With reference to them we have no responsibility. We can not teach them, we cannot correct their mistakes, we cannot soothe their sorrows, we cannot heal their wounds. Their sepulchres are deaf and dumb to anything we^ might jsayjaf them. The last regiment of that great army has passed out of sight. We might halloo as loud as we could; not one of them would avert his head to see what we wanted. I admit that I am in sympathy with the child whose father had suddenly died, and who in her little evening prayer wanted to continue to pray for her father, although he had gone into heaven and no more needed her prayers, and looking up into her mother's face, said: "Oh, mother, I cannot leave him all out. Let me say, thank God that I had a good father once, so I can keep him in my prayers." , But the one hundred and eighty generations have passed off. Passed up. Passed down. Passed forever. Then there are generations to come after our earthly existence has ceased. We ) shall not see them; we shall not hear any of their voices; we will take no part in their convocations, their elections, their revolutions, their catastrophies, their triumphs. We will In no wise affect the 180 generations gone or the 180 generations to come, except aa from the galleries of heaven the former generations look down and rejoice at our victories, or aa wv m**y,~ by our behavior, start influences, good or bad, that shall roll on through the advancing ages. But our business is, like David, to serve, our own generation, the people now living, those whose lungs now breathe, and whose hearts now beat. And mark you, it is not a silent procession, but moving. It is a "forced march" at twenty-four miles a day, each hour being a mile. Going with tthat celerity, it has got to be a quick service on our part, or no service at all. We not only cannot teach the 180 generations past, and will not see the 180 generations to come, but this generation now on the stage will soon be off, and we ourselves will be off with them. The fact is, that you and I will have to start very soon for our work, or it will be ironical and sarcastic for any one after our exit to say of us, as it was said of David, "After he had served^his own generation by the will of God, he fell on sleep." ^ Well, now, let us look around earnestly, prayerfully, in a common sense way, and see what we can do for our own generation. First of all, let us see to it that, as far as we can, they have enough to eat. The human body is so constituted that three times a day the body needs food as much as a lamp needs oil, as much as a locomotive needs fueL To meet this want God has girdled the earth with apple orchards, orange groves, wheat fields, and oceans full of fish, and prairies full of cattle. And notwithstanding this, I will undertake to Bay that the vast majority of the human family are now suffering either for lack of food or the right kind of food. Our civilization is all askew, and God only can set it right. Many of the greatest estates of today have been built out of the blood and bones of unrequited toil. la olden times, for the building of forts and towers, the inhabitants of Ispahan had to contribute 70,000 .skulls, and Bagdad 90,000 human *kulls, and that number of people were compelled to furnish the skulls. But these two contributions added together made only 160,000 skulls, while into the tower of the worM's wealth and pomp have been wrought tha skeletons gA uncounted numbers of the half-fed populations of the earth—millions of skulls. Don't alt down at your table with five or six courses of abundant supply and think nothing of that family in the next street who would take any oae of those five aonraea between soup and almond auta aad foal they were In heaven. The of tfca ftffct kind of food la tha cause of much of the drunkenness. After drifiking what many of our grocers, call coffee, sweetened with what many call sugar, and eating what many of our butchers call meat, and chewing what many of our bakers call bread, many of the laboring class feel so miserable they are tempted to put into their nasty pipes what the tobacconist calls tobacco, or go into the drinking saloons for what the rum sellers call beer. Good coffee would do much in driving out bad rum. Row can we serve our generation with enough to eat? By sitting down in embroidered slippers and lounging back in an arm chair, our mouth puckered up around a Havana of the beat brand, and through clouds of luxuriant smoke reading about political economy and the philosophy of strikes? Oh, no! By finding out who in this city has been living on gristle, and sending than a tenderloin beefsteak. Seek out some family, who through sickness or conjunction of misfortunes, have not enough to eat, and do for them what Christ did for the hungry multitudes of Asia Minor, multiplying the loaves and fishes. Let us quit the surfeiting of ourselves until we cannot choke down another crumb of cake, and begin the supply of others' necessities. So far from helping appease the world's hunger, are those whom Isaiah describes as grinding the faces of the poor. You have seen a farmer or a mechanic put a scythe or an ax on a grindstone, while someone was turning it round and round and the man holding the ax bore on it harder and harder, while the water dropped from the grindstone, and the edge of the ax from being round and dull, got keener and keener. So I have seen men who were__put against the grindstone of SardlhTpT^nd white one tuThelTUte crank, another would press the unfortunate harder down and harder down until he was ground away thinner and thinner—his comforts thinner, his prospects thinner, and his face thinner. And Isaiah shrieks out: "What meiu ye that ye grind the faces of the poor?" • • • But, alas! where are the good clothes for three-fourths of the human race? The other one-fourth have appropriated them. The fact is, there needs to be and will be, a redistribution. Not by anarchistic violence. If outlawry had its way, it would rend and tear and diminish, until, instead of three-fourths of the world not properly- attired, fourfourths would be in rags. I will let you know how the redistribution will take place. By generosity on the part of those who have a surplus, and increased industry on the part of those suffering from deficit. Not all, but the large majority of cases of poverty in this country are a result of idleness or drunkenness, either on the part of the present sufferers or their ancestors. In most cases the mm Jug Is the maelstrom that has swallowed down the livelihood of those who are in rags. But things will change, and by generosity on the part of the crowded wardrobes, and industry and sobriety on the part of the empty wardrobes, there will be enough for all to wear. God has done his part toward the dressing of the human race. He grows a surplus of wool on the sheep's back, and flocks roam the mountains and valleys with a burden of warmth Intended for transference to human comfort, when the shuttles of the factories, reaching all the way from Chattahoochee to the MerrJmac, shall have spun and woven It. In white letters of ^nowy fleece God has been writing for a thousand years, his wish that there might be warmth for all nations. While others are discussing the effect of high or low tariff, or no tariff at all, on wool, you and I had better see if in our wardrobes we have nothing that we can spare for the suffering, or pick out some poor lad of the street and take him down to a clothing store and fit him out for the season. Gospel of shoes! Gospel of hats! Gospel of clothes for the naked! Again, let us look around and see how we may serve our generation. What shortsighted mortals we would be if we were anxious to clothe and feed only the most insignificant part of a man, namely, his body, while we put forth no effort to clothe and feed and eave his soul. Time is a little piece broken off a great eternity. What are we doing for the souls of this present generation? Let me say it Is a generation worth saving. Most magnificent men and women are In !t. We make a great ado about the improvements in navigation, and in locomotion, and in art and machinery. We remark what wonders of telegraph and telephone and the stethoscope. What trnprovemeot is electric light over a tallow candle! But all these improvements are insignificant compared with the improvement in the human race, hi olden times, once In a while, a great and good man or woman would come up, and the world haa made a great fuss about it erer since; bnt now they are so numerous, we scarcely apeak about them. We put a halo about th* people of the past bvt I think if the times demanded them, it would be found we hare now living- in this year, J8»8, fifty Martin Lathers, fifty George Waahlagtona, fifty Lady Hanttstttoaa. * * , Hniiahata During our civil war more splendid warriors In North and South were developed in four yean than the whole world developed in the previous twen* ty years. I challenge the 4,000 years before Christ and also the eighteen centuries after Christ to show me the equal of charity on a large scale of George Peabody. This generation of men and women Is more worth saving than any one of the 180 generations that have passed off. Where shall we begin? With ourselves. That is the pillar from which we must start, Preecott, the blind historian, tells us how Piaarro saved his army for the right when they were about deserting him. With his sword he made a long mark on the ground. He said: "My men, on the north side are desertion and death; on the eouth side Is victory; on the north side Panama and poverty; on the south side Peru with all its riches. Choose for yourselves; for my part I go to the south." Stepping across the line one by one his troops followed, and finally his whole army. The sword of God's truth draws the dividing line today, On one side of it are sin, and ruin and death; on the other side of it are pardon and usefulness and happiness and heaven. You cross from the wrong side to the right Bide, and your family will cross with you, and your friends and your associates. The way you1 go they will go. If we are not saved, we will never save any one else. • • • Why will you keep us all so nervous talking about that which is only a dormitory and a pillowed slumber, canopied by angels' wings? Sleep! Transporting sleep! And what a glO" rlous awakening! Ton and I have sometimes been thoroughly bewildered Aftera-longand have stopped at a friend's house for the night, and after hours of complete unconsciousness we have opened our eyes, the high-risen sun full in our faces, and before we could fully collect our faculties, have said: "Where am I; whose house is this, and whose are these gardens?" And, then, it has flashed upon us in glad reality. And I should not wonder If, after we have served our generation, and by the will of God, have fallen on e'eep, the deep sleep, the restful sleep, we should awaken in blissful bewilderment, and for a little while say: "Where am I? What palace is this? Why. this looks like heaven! It is; it is. Why, there Is a building grander than all the castles of earth heaved into a mountain of splendor—that must be the palace of Jesus. And look there, at those walks lined with foliage more beautiful than anything I ever saw before, and see those who are walking down those aisles of verdure. From what I have heard of them, those two arm and arm must be Moses and Joshua, him of Mount Sinai and him of the halting sun over Glbeon. And those two walking arm In arm must be John and Paul, the one so gentle and the other so mighty. "But I must not look any longer at those gardens of beauty, but examine this building in which I have just awakened. I look out of the window this way and that, and up and down, and I find it is a mansion of immense size in which I am stopping. All its windows of agate and its colonnades of porphyry and alabaster. Why, I wonder if this is not the 'House of many Mansions,' of which I used to read? It is; it is. There must be many of my kindred and friends in this very mansion. Hark! Whose are those voices? Whose are those bounding feet? I open the door and see, and lo! they are coming through all the corridors and up and down all the stairs, our long-absent kindred. Why, there is father, there is mother, there are the children. All well again. All young again. All of us together again. And as we embrace each other with the cry, 'Never more to part; never more to part,' the arches, the alcoves, the hallway* echo and re-echo the, words 'Never more to part, never more to part!' Then our glorified friends say: 'Come out with us and see heaven.' And, some of them bounding ahead of us and some of them skipping beside us, we start down the ivory stairway. And we meet, coming up, one of the kings of ancient Israel, somewhat small of stature, but having a countenance radiant with a thousand victories. And as all are making obeisance to this great one of heaven, I cry out, 'Who la he?' and the answer comes: 'This is the greatest of all kings; it is David, who, after he had served his generation by the will of God, fell on sleep.' ** A duuitabte Dachca* The Duchess of Portland is an untiring charity worker, and her name has headed many a Hit of patronesses of bazaars and church social affairs.

The City by the Sea* Crowned with the hoar of centuries^ There, by the eternal sea. High on her misty cape she sits, Like an eagle, fearlesB, free. And thus in olden time she sat, On that morn of long- ago: Mid the roar of Freedom's armament. And the war-bolts of her foe. Old Time hath reared her pillared walls. Her domes and turrets high: With her hundred tali and tapering spires All flashing to the sky. Shall I not sing of thee, beloved? My beautiful, my pride! That thou towereat tn thy queenly grace, By the tributary tide. There, swan-like, crestest thou the waves That, enamored, round thee swell- Fairer than Aphrodite, couched On her foam-wreathed ocean shell, Oh, ever, mid this restless hum Resounding from the street, Of the thronging, hurrying multitude. And the tread of stranger feet— My heart turns back to thee—mine own! My beautiful, my pride! With thoughts of thy free ocean wind, And the clasping, fond old tide— With all thy kindred household smokes, Upwreathing far away; And the merry bells that pealed as now On my grand sire's wedding day: green gravjM and truthM e , " " Oh, city by the sea! My heritage, and priceless dower. My beautiful, in thee! The Longest Speech on Record. The longest speech on record, says the Toronto Globe, is believed to have been that made by Mr. De Cosmos, in the legislature of British Columbia, when a measure was pending the passage of which would take from a great many settlers their lands. De Cosmos was in a hopeless minority. The job had been held back until the eve of the close of the session; unless legislation was taken before noon of % given day the act of confiscation would fall. The day before the expiration of the limitation, De Cosmos got the floor about 10 a. m., and began a speech against the bill. Its friends cared little, for they supposed that by 2 o'clocck he would be through and the bill could be put on its passage. One o'clock came and De Cosmos was speaking still —he had not more than entered upon his subject. Two o'clock—he wa« saying "in the second place." Three o'clock—he produced a fearful bundle nf avldeno* «nrt lnniBfMT nn reading it The majority began to have a suspicion of the truth—he was going to speak till next noon and kill the bill. Fogr a while they made merry over it, but as it came on to dusk they began to get alarmed. They tried interruptions, but soon abandoned them, because each one afforded him a chance to discuss and gain time. They tried to shoot him down, but that gave him a breathing space, and finally they settled down to watch the combat between the strength of will and weakness of body. They gave him no mercy, no adjournment for dinner, no chance to do more than wet his lips with water, no wandering from bis subject, no sitting down. Twilight darkened; the gas was Mt; members slipped out to dinner in relays and returned to sleep in squads, but De Cosmos went on. The speaker, to whom he was addressing himself, was alternately dozing and trying to look wide awake. Day dawned and the majority slipped out in squads to wash and breakfast, and the speaker still held on. It cannot be said that it was a very logical, eloquent or sustained speech. There were digressions in it; repetitions also. But still the speaker kept on, and at last noon came to a baffled majority, livid with rase and Impotence. And a single man, who was triumphant, though his voice had sunk to a husky whisper, his eyes were almost shut, and bleared, and bloodshot; his legs tottered under him, his baked lips were cracked and smeared with blood. De Cosmos had spoken twenty-four hours and saved the lands. In the United States congress William J. Bryan onos made a long speech for time and held his hearers spellbound tor fourteen hours. What Oar Ueop Baally Is. It was at one time supposed that in sleep the brain wu richly charged with blood. This it now confessed to be aa error, says the New York World. Sleep etfsues when the brain It largely denuded of blood, when cerebral anaemia Is established. To partly empty the brain of its blood supply, to keep the head cool, the body sufficiently warm and to send the blood rather to the lower extremities—this ii the physical problem of, the sleepless. During sleep a great number of the bodily functions continue quite normal without interfering with sleep itself, and therefore sleep is not so like death as some of the poets have Imagined. Man asleep is not so profoundly different from man awake, the two chief points of difference, however, being Ui«se: A greater indrawing Of oxygen and exhalation of carbonic acl4 and a complete vaso-motor rest. WiU) a heavy sleeper there should be nq thick curtains, but with a light sleeptf curtains are essential, as sunlight playi upon the optic nerve and rouses that attention which It is the one object at the sleeper to keep In suspended animation. Perfect or nearly perfect health Is the first condHJon of sound sleep. Bu{ scarcely any one is quite healthy. The. one great thing to do is not only to tire out the body, but to fatigue tht r.tittve mind and so drive the congested Wood from the brain. Quiet and regnrar habits, a certain monotony of light evening occupation will tend In tfcts direction, while a great variety of evening entertainments is generally fatal to the victim of insomnia. It is UE wise to go to bed on either an empty or a very full utomech; a slight meal before rest is the wise course. Reaehlnc tho Pol* Without Loss of I*U« We know that dogs are the cavalry horfes of the Arctics, says Walter Weinman in the Review of Reviews, and that we must have plenty of doff" powtr to drag all the loads over tht good Ice, in order to save the strength of tho men for the rougher places; and plenty of man-power to get everything quickly over the rubble, ridges and leads--the dogs resting at these bad spots, and the men resting while the dogs do the work on the long reaches of level or undulating surface. With a party of six hardy men, with fifty draft dogs from Siberia, with a rubber pneumatic boat which has no rigid surface to receive injurious blows in ice, with specially built sledges that =are_dJawn each by one dog, a n d t h sf may capsize without Injury or the nes4 of righting, so that the dogs go along practically without attention or driving, with light weights constantly becoming lighter, with man-power and dog-power enough to keep moving straight ahead all the time with all the loads without the need of "doubling up"—that is, to divide the load into two parts, and thus go three times over the road—with careful attention, guided by experience, to every minute detail of food and equipment, it is possible to travel an average of from 13 to 17 miles per day, if the weather permits. At an average progress of only № miles per day, the pole could be reached and returned from in the comparatively short time of 83 days. Ample time would remain for the party to make its way back to the station on the southern coast to meet the steamer sent out after it. In this way, with a very small expenditure of money, and with only a year and three months' absence from civilization, I believe tbat what has heretofore been impossible can be done, and the North Pole can be attained without the loss of a single human life. Whea People Me«t la Japaav Nothing is more amusing than to watch two acquaintances saluting in the streets of a Japanese town, says the New York World. As they come in sight of each other they slacken their pace and approach with downcast eyes and averted faces, as If neither was worthy of beholding the other; then they bow low, so as to bring the fact on a level with the knees, on which the palms of the hands are pressed. A succession of hissing sounds is next made by drawing in the breath between the closed teeth, interspersed with a series of complimentary phrases uttered with great volubility in a sort of undertoned falsetto, each trying to outdo his friend in rapidity and extravagance of language, while the palms are diligently rubbed against each other. At last the climax is reached and each endeavors to give the precedence to the other. For some time, perhaps for s, full minute, the polite contest continues; then the ceremony abruptly ends, as if the difficulty were capable of nose but a brusque solution, and the two pass hurriedly, with a look of extreme relief on their faces. The Lavrgeat Flag la the World. T ie Stars and Stripes in the shape of the largest flag in the world will float over Morro Castle, Havana, when Blanco surrenders. The immense flag designed for this duty is already prepared, and may be seen draped at the front of an empty storeroom in New York city. A patriotic Wall street man has had the great flag made. It measures 120 feet in length and forty-three and one-third feet la width, and it is believed that it breaks the record for size. It is so big thyf special bunting was made for It ia Bottom. The bunting measures forty-two inches acroes in the rough. Made up in the flag, allowing for seams, each stripe measures forty laches. It took a full piece of forty yards for each stripe, except when they roa Into the Jack. The Jack measures forty feet in length and covers the space of seven stripes. The stars are not very large. From point to point each star measures fourteen Inches. They are arranged In alternating rows of seven and eight, according to army regulations. Big as it la, the to? eaa be easily packed in a Urge tmvell&g trank and will not weigh more the* tot to 150 pounds. HEROES OF WAR. From the Chicago Ttmes-Berald. The foiling of admiration for heroes of war seems to be innate in tb« human heart, and it brought to tho surf acs as the opportunity and object, for such haro worship presents itself. Among those who proved their heroism during our Civil War was A. Bchiffensder, of 101 Bedgwick Street, Chicago. Heia an Australian by birth, came to America at the age of t w e n t y, and soon became sn American citizen. Hewi living at Mil-xjk S^7KJfr Vt_#v wauke* when ^ * ^ * ^ / a *+** the call for vol- H* received a wound. re, early is I860, and he promptly enlisted ia Company A, of the Twenty-sixth Wisconsin Volunteers. In the Army of the Potomac our hero saw much fighting, campaigning in the Shan* aadoah Valley. Ia the first day's fighting at the battle of Gettysburg, Bohiffeneder received a wound in the right side, which afterward caused him much trouble. With a portion of bis regiment he was captured and imprisoned at Bell Island and Andersonville, aad after* ward exchanged. He returned to his regiiment, which was transferred to tbt army of General Sherman, and marched with him through Georgia to the sea. In this campaign Mr. Bchiffeneder's old wound began to trouble him and he was sent to the hospital and then home. Ha bad also contracted catarrh of the stomach and found no relief for years. "I happened to read an account of Dr. William's Pink Pills for Pale People about a year ago," he said, "and thought tbat they might be good for my trouble. I concluded to try them. I bought one box and began to take them according to directions* They gave ma great relief. After finishing that box I bought another, and when I had taken the pills I felt that J was enred. I recovered my appetite and ate beartiTy. I can testify to the good the pills did me." Mr. Bchiffenedsr is a prominent Grand Army man in Chicago, whither ht moved some years ago with his family. Three hundreds Tears ago any man absent from church on Sunday was fined a shilling. What a war revenue that would produce to-day.

Shall, or Shall Not, Which? The committees that have done such heroic work for the past lew years in securing us some of the finest lectures and musicals to be had, have nearly concluded that they have done (for the honor) about their share, As we all know, it has been weeks of hard work to dispose of 300 tickets and that responsibility, everyone does not desire. We are a little fearful that our enjoyment of a lecture course the coming winter is rather doubtful. Our courses have been very successful and as we hear on all sides, "What will we do without the lectures this winter?'1 Of course if we have none this season the town will be crowded with cheap shows and theatricals, and will be patronized as our young people will attend something. Who will be the ones to push this matter; a few cannot do the whole work; don't let the lectures go down. Dr. H. P. Sigler and C. L. Grimes, with others, have put a great deal of tbeir time, and assumed the responsibility here-to-fore, and are willing to |-help if some others will help also. All those who have patronized the lectures before and wish to have them continue, can make it known to the present committee. H Express Wagons for the Children. Our Paint stock is the best in town.

[loblyan Troops to be Muttered Oat at Home — Death of Judge Thomas M. Cooley—Murder and Suicide at Wyandott «—Other State Matters. Death of Judge Judge Thomas M. Cooley died at his home in Ann Arbor. About three months ago he returned from a private sanitarium at Flint, and was so much improved in mental health that he was able to recognize acquaintances and friends, but he realized his weak phj'sioal condition and his failing mental abilities, and often expressed a wish that death would come. Several weeks ago he relapsed into a comatose condition. During all this interval he only roused once and asked, ''Where is Charley"? referring to his eldest son. Judge Cooley's failing mental vigor dates back from the time he was connected with the interstate commerce commission. It is said that every day lie was doing as much work as three strong men. The strain was too much and vigorous attacks came upon him. Be was compelled by ill-health to resign from the commission. Finally the attacks culminated in senile paresis, and a little over a year ago he was taken to the sanitarium in Flint. With Judge Cooley's death the country has probably lost its ablest expounder of international law—a man whose opinions on that subject have taken on in the minds of students something of the nature of law itself. As judge, writer and teacher he was almost equally famous. Disband at Home. "The war department has finally decided," said Adjt.-Gen. Cor bin, to a correspondent, *'that the Michigan regiments now on furlough will not be •compelled to return either to Detroit or Island Lake to be mustered out. >YhiJe we have not yet worked out the details of the plan for disbanding these regiments, we. appreciate the hardship it will be to the men to travel such distances, as are involved in the trip to the upper peninsula and back at their own expense, and arrangements are being perfected to muster out the Michigan men by battalions, If possible, and by companies if it .seems necessary to sub-divide the commands to that extent to save the men from unnecessary travel. As soon as ifinal arrangements have been perfected for mustering out troops, colonels of tue regiments will communicate the final rendezvous to the captain* who have been instructed to take the postoffice address of each man on furlough, and who will notify them where they are to be assembled for final mustering out." The 31st to Bemaia. Lagging people who have sons in Co. B, 31st, recently petitioned- the secretary of war to muster the regiment out, the war being over.

The general also brought with him two Cuban machetes to be presented Mrs. Alger. Gen.

An hour had passed, and all that Elspeth and Evan, assisted by the terrified servants, could do for Magnua Halcrow had been done. He still lay unoonsoious, a ghastly cut, hastily bandaged in amateur . fashion by Evan, across his head;, but with what other injuries, lntc-raa.1 or external, they did not kaiow. The doctor who had been wired for had telegraphed that he waa on his way to Crag Castle; but he couVd not be there for an hour yet. "I cannot leave you alone," objected Monteith. "Do not mind me; I shall be all right," said Elspeth hastily. "I suppose"— she paused with a sudden shudder—" nothing can be done for her?" Monteith shook his head. There was a strange expression on his face. "Nothing," he said. "You must promise me o*n no account to go into the room, Miss Troil. It can do no good to the dead, and may harm you. Tou wiH premise?" - — "Yes," said Elspeth. Then suddenly a strange, inarticulate sound that was almost a cry broke" from her, and she covered her face. "It is too awful! —too horrible!" she cried, "going like that into God's presence—unprepared —unconfessed! And a few hours ago she waa flitting here, the incarnation of life and brightness, Oh, God, I cannot bear to think of It! God—God have mercy upon her!" "Amen," said Monteith hoarsely. He suddenly caught her hand. "Elspeth, whatever may be In your mind, whatever you suspect or fear, try to bury it out of sight and forget, as I shall. We shall keep our own dark doubts a secret forever from the whole world, shall we not?" "Forever," Elspeth whispered, and her lip suddenly quivered. "You are generous." "I must go now," said Monteith. And so they parted—Elspeth to return to her lonely watch, Monteith to hurry to Abbot's Head. The horror was still dark and h**vy upon him that he had felt as he drew from under her battered machine very gently the terribly mutilated figure of the woman wno had tried to his own death. There was no doubt in his mind as to that. It was she who had tampered with hie machine, counting on its going to pieces very probably at the unguarded portion of the cliff-path. She had mistaken Magnus Halcrow for him-^a natural mistake, for they resembled each other at a distance— and had made that last desperate attempt to rid herself of him, probably counting on his springing to the cliff side of the path, In ignorance of the broken barricade. How strangely, awfully, like the judgment of a just God it seemed! Monteith was soon at Abbot'e Head. As he strode up the garden-path Day emerged from the doorway and met him. Her face suddenly flashed white as she recognized him; then she bowed, and, after a moment's hesitation, offered her hand. "You have come to say good-by? I heard that you were leaving tomor* row." "I was," answered Monteith, slowly; "but it is not that that has brought me here now. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Miss Halcrow——" She Interrupted him a little breathlessly: "Something has happened—Magnus?" "You will be brave," said Monteith gently; "and, please God, it ra*y not be so bad as we fear." Then, briefly and as gently as possible, he told her all. She listened in silence, hor face growing paler and paler, until it was drained of every drop of blood. When he paused she said, in a voice out of which all the music had gone: "I may go to him?" "I have come for you," said Monteith. "The carriage is waiting below," "J shall go and get ready," caid Day, iu a low voice. She turned to re-enter the house, but as she did so, the whole earth seemed to heave beneath her feet, and she would have fallen had Monteith not ©aught her in his arms. For a moment he held her there, her white face resting against his breast; then Day fltruggled from his clasp. "Let me go, Mr. Monteith." "Day," exclaimed Evan hoarsely, "it almost profanation to speak of thingi now; but, my darling, my only true love, I cannot let you go without asking you to forgive me, and to say you will still trust me. Give me tho satisfaction of taking care of you in this terrible time, and of knowing you trust my care. Day, you once said you loved me." She looked at him strangely out of those sorrow-filled, eea-blue eyes of hers. "You say "Misr, Stuart Is dead, and you can say that to me now?" she said, almost in a whisper. "She is dead," he answered gravely. "Da/, I must not speak unkindly of the dead; but if you knew all the truth you could never for a moment have imagined I loved her. She was my bitterest enemy." For a moment Day was silent; then she turned to Monteith and laid her trembling little hand in his. "And Masmis is perhaps dying because he tried tt save her! Can I have been hard and unkind? I almost hated her. And now she is dead! God forgive me and grant her peace! Evan, take me to my brother. I seem to have no one now but you." He drew her-to hlm-for one second, and kissed her trembling lips. And so, in the midst of tragedy and sorrow "bitter Tike blood and dark as deed of death," deep trust and sweet hope came back to two human hearts. CHAPTER XI. Magnus did not die. He slowly came back to life and consciousness, nursed by the tender hands of the two women who loved him; and of these two the tenderest were Elspeth Troll's. Lilith Stuart had been laid to rest in the family vaults. Lady Westray was still at the castle, whither had gone the lawyers in whose hands were the affairs of the estate, and ElspetHh was with her. A fortnight later Magnus lay in his own rcom at Abbot's Head, and Day sat beside him. He was still pale, and the terrible cut across his forehead was very conspicuous, but to Day It seemed as if he had come back from the jaws of death. A ring at the outer door made the sweet color fly to Day's cheeks. Monteith had been away for five days, but she knew that this was him come back again.. —Day n*ev/ to the door, and iu a few minutes came back, not with Monteith only, but with Elspeth Troil as well. "I have brought your nurse to see you, Halcrcw," said Monteith as Magnus extended his uninjured hand. "And your nurse is more pleased with your progress than she can say," said Elspeth, bonding her grave, sweet voice and dark eyes over the couch. They sat together for a few minutes, then Monteith suddenly spoke: "I have a purpose in thus bringing you all together. It is that you might together hear my story, and the secret, of my connection with the poor dead girl whom we all knew. Miss Troil knows part of the story—not all. "Five years ago I was secretary to. Sir James \\Ystray, to whom I was also a distant connection. He lived then on his estate in Perthshire, aud during Parliament was up in London; for he was, as you know, Vice-Chancellor of the Exchequer. While there, his cousin, Mrs. Stuart, widow of a captain in the army, and her daughter came to visit him She was very poor; she was also—I must not mines matters—a scheming, designing woman. Sir James had no children. His property and fortune should go, in rip-lit of succession, to the orphan children of another cousin—a boy and girl, mere children. "It became I\!rs. Stuart's object to induce the old man to make a will leaving all to her own daughter. Lilith •wan thr>n seventeen, such as she was when you knew her—beautiful and fascinating. Her mother set her to work on the old man's vanity. Sir James had one foible, and that wns an inordinate love of self. How well she succeeded you ran yourselves Imagine. "I was three years older than Lilith, and at a susceptible age. She bewitched me. 1 did not love her—I could not profane that holy feeling by giving my own infatuation its name; but I seemed under a spell, and yielded to her in all things. She allowed me to think my feeling was reciprocated. "Suddenly Mrs. Stuart died. Then Sir James announced his intention of adopting Lilith. To all intents and purposes she was his own child. Yet Lilith herself knew her position was insecure as long as the Westray children lived. "Sir James was ailing for some time before he died, and Lilith was constantly with him during that time. She | urged him constantly, with all the per. auasive powers of which she was mistress; but for long he held out steadily against her. "One night—it was late at night— Lilith came to me. " 'He fcas done it!' she ezclalmmed triumphantly. 'He has made out the will at last! All that he haa will be mine. Come and sign it ae a witness, Evan.' "I feebly protested, saying that it was a sin to deprive the other children of their inheritance, but Lilith only scoffed. You will understand how far I had fallen by that mean infatuation when I tell you that I followed her and signed the paper aa a witness. "A few days after Star James died. There was no contested case. The children were too young to understand matters, and their guardians were easily silenced. "Lilith still encouraged me, and I visited the house, which was occupied by her and Lady Westray. It waa while doing so that, by a strange accident, I discovered the secret which legal eyes had not detected. "Sir James' signature to the will had been forged! "I shall not lengthen my story by going into the details of my discovery. Enough that I taxed Lilith with it, and she defied me to prove it. When she saw I was in earnest, she changed her tactics; threw herself on my mercy, knelt to me, besought me not to bring this awful disgrace upon her; then promised she would look after the Westray children and keep them in as great comfort as ever they could have had If the property had come to them. I was weak; I yielded. - "I- know my part was a base one; scorn and blame me for It as you will. I went abroad. By that time I had inherited a small income which left me independent I passed a year or two bear-shooting in the Rockies. Conscience pursued me. I saw Lilith in her true light, and all the false glamour that had surrounded her vanished. "I came here. You know—at least, Elspeth does—how Lilith tried to regain her old power over me. Whe» she saw it was useless, she defied me to do my worst. Well, let us cast no stone at the poor, silent dead." He paused. The faces of the three who had listened breathlessly to him were very pale. Magnua was the first to speak. He held out his hand. "Forgive me, Monteith. I have been unjust and suspicious; but your story is strange beyond fiction." Monteith grasped his hand. "You won't refuse me what I've come to ask from you, then, Halercw? You know what it is." He put his arm round Day, who was trembling and pale; but the action brought the rosy color rushing back to her cheeks. — "You are going to lake my Star of' Day from me, then? Well, I suppose it must have come sooner or later, and rather you than any other man, Monteith," said Magnus, his voice just a little unsteady. "God blees you, my little Day! Kiss me." "Magnus, I'm not going to leave you," cried Day soothingly. But she bent and kissed the scarred face, her tears running down upon it. Then, on a sudden impulse, she turned and kissed Elspeth Troil. "And now I wish to have this maiden just for a few minutes to myself," said Monteith, standing up and drawing Day's arm through his own. "Nurse, will you wait with your patient till we come back? After that I shall take you back to Crag Castle." Elspeth said nothing, but her lips grew tremulous. "You loved her once, and before me, Evan," Day whispered as they were strolling down the garden, with his arm round her and her head near his shoulder. "And she had such an influence over you—nore than I shall ever have!" "For evil," said Monteith thoughtfully. Then he bent and kissed the sweet mouth. "She was a 'baleful star,' Day, to lure me to base and unworthy ways from all good and noble ones; brtt you are the Day star that will, God willing, guide me through the shoals and quicksands of life until"— fie" paused and added reverently— "God Himself takes us both into His eternal day." (To be Continued.) A WOMAN'S HEROISM. From the R$gUUr~QautUt Rotkfoni, IU. Daring the dvil war nearly aa much heroism was shown by the women of our nation ai by the brave toldicxa. Many a woman, weeping for her de*/l ion, bound op the wounds of his suffering comrades, rejoicing in t L e i r renewed s t r e ngth, A even while ^ sorrowing for the one who w*s gone. At that time was laid the foundation for *» """ the world- On the Battlefield. famed organization known as the Woman's Relief Corps, whose aid to the soldier of today, fighting against the world for a living, la no less notable than the heroism of the early '60's. One of the most earnest members of the corps at Byron, 111., Is Mrs. James Houseweart, but illnws once put a stop to her active work. A year or so ago, wn«n she was nearing fifty years of age, the time when women must be moat careful of their strength, Mrs. Houseweaxt was taken seriously ilL The family physician told her that she had reched a critical period of her life, and mutt be very careful. His prescriptions and treatment did not benefit uer, and other treatment proved unavailing. At last Dr. William's Pink Pills for Pals People were brought to her notice, with indisputable evidence that they were helpful in cases such as hers, and with renewed .hope she tried the remedy. Last March she took the first box of the pills, which gave (much relief. She was determined to be cured, and kept on with the medicine, untile now eight boxes bave been consumed, and she feels like a new woman. . Mrs. Houseweart said: "I have taken only eight boxes, but 1 bave been improving since I took the first do«e. I do not believe I could have lived without the pills. They certaily have done me more good than any physician or any medicine I have ever tried" Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for £2.50, and may be bad of all druggtslKror directbjm Iff from Dr.Williams' Medicine Co., ochenectady, N. Y. A BOLD BANK ROBBERY famous Place of Money* tbe Sceue of the Strange Act* Between 1 and 2 o'clock on a recent Saturday afternoon a daring tiieft was committed in the banking department of the Bank of England, which is reserved for purely banking transactions, general or public banking business being done In other departments, says the London Times. Two "walkclerke," or messengers, were sent from Messrs. Coutts to the Bank of England with an order for £3,000. One of the clerks, it appears, remained outside in a cab, while his colleague proceeded to obtain the money, which was handed to htm acroos the counter in three canvas bags, each of which contained £1,000. The cle*rk seems to have had his attention diverted in some way, and he left the counter. His abEence, however, was quite momentary, but on his return one of the bags was missing. An alarm was at once raised and the police of Old Jewry station were immediately communicated with. It to eta ted that almost at the moment of the discovery of the theft a respectable- looking well-dressed man left the banking department, carrying a bag in his hand, and it is assumed that this was the stolen property. The thief, or thieves, however, succeeded in escaping. The robbery was a particularly audacious one, and it is believed that the culprit had "shadowed" Messrs. Coutts' messengers for some time in order to ascertain the; latter's movements before acting. Stokers Work la fl«althy. It Is a fact that the stokers on beard an ocean "liner," provided the men are steady in their habits, suffer scarcely at all from their arduous labors. A stoker works four hours at a stretch, and during that time the temperature of his surroundings varies from 120 to 1C0 degrees. One stoker usually has four furnace* to attend to, and while feeding one furnace a man. has to be extremely careful or his arm will be burnt by the furnace behind him. As a rule, a man is occupied for about three minutes- at each furnace, and directly he had finished he rushes to the air-pipe and awaits till his turn comes round again. It hat been found that the work is least injurious to the men who are regularly employed at It —Burlington Hawkeye, Distinguished Handles* Artlits. A Belgian artist, on? of WatteaiTs students—Caesar Ducornet—was handless, having been born without arm^, and with only rudimentary legs, and yet he carried off all tbe prizes at Lilre.

A slender scaffold was L-uilt in front of his easel, and on this h«e writhed and twisted, climbed and eiouched, leavln? traces of color wherever he passed, traversing the canvas with the swiftness of a fly upon the wall.

Roof gardening Is an expensive luxury for amateurs. Some men's only bad habit 1* boast- Ing of their good habits. Once a hero, always a hero—especially to the hero himself. The man who admits he Is in the Wrong Is usually in the right. Whenever a man becomes wise he Is the first to discover his wisdom; A girl loves to be loved by a man that she knows some other girl loves. It's harder for a young man to question her pop than it is to pop the question. One way to keep on friendly terms with your neighbor is to keep oft his premises. Some machines have automatic attachments and some have sheriffs attachments. As to the fleets of Spain, we feel sure that so-called power will be able to prove an alibi. Some people are never satisfied until they find out something that makes them dissatisfied. Fitzhugh Lee is nereby reminded that peace hath her victories no less renowned than war. Hobson is too good a man to waste himself on the lecture platform, but he ought to speak a book. Miss Schley, peace commissioner, has passed the age of discretion, being more than forty years old. Persevering mediocrity is much more respectable, and unspeakably more useful, than talented Inconstancy. The "American hog" has become vastly popular in Cuba, even among the Spaniards, in the shape of bacon. To have a respect for ourselves guides our morals, and to have a def-. erence for others governs our manners. What are the aims which are at the same time duties? They are the perfectingof ourselves and the happiness of others. It's rough on the leading lady of a theatrical aggregation when she is cconpelled to step off the track to let the trains go by. The uprisings of the Carlists are so numerous and so futile that the miserable pretenders will presently be known as chronic upstarts. One thing is certain and that Is that our courts of justice are almost strangled to death with litigation, but la eplte of this condition of affairs original cases which are waiting to be tried for the first time are frequently set aside for weeks and months in order to give place to old cases which are being tried for the second time with perhaps the very same result Evidently it Is high time that radical steps were being taken to cure this evil In our system of trial by jury. It takes a very subtle casuist to establish the wrong of privateering and the right of capture by government in the same brief. The former may be the more flagrant evil, and we esfht to rejoice that it has practically been abolished, but after all it is only a question of degree, and the whole duty of nations will not have been accomplished in this matter until they take Hamlet's advice to the players and reform It altogether. If a war does not teach us something additional of the duties of humanity and endow us with fresh wisdom, than does it leave us pftpr indeed. According to a German technical journal, Dr. Von Welsbach, tbe inventor of the Incandescent gas lamp, has discovered an Improved filament (or electric lamps. This he appears to have found in a filament of osmium, one of the rare metals, which, besides being the densest of all metals, is the most refractory, being infusible at any except the highest attainable temperatures. Osmium is found native as an alloy in certain ores of platinum and lridlum. ft l i t hard, bluish-gray metal, with en atomic weight of 191.1, and the enormous specific gravity of 22.477, the heaviest substance known.

About the sacred and divine art of making and keeping friends I speak— a subject on which I never heard of anyone preaching—and yet God thought it of enough importance to put It in the middle of the Bible, these writings of Solomon, bounded on one side by the popular Psalms of David, and on the other by the writings of Isaiah, the greatest of the prophets. It seems all a matter of haph»x»** how many friends we have, or whetser we have any friends at all, but there is nothing accidental about it. There is a law which governs the accretion and dispersion of friendships. They did not "just happen so" any more than the tides just happen to rise or fall, or the sun just happens to rise or set It is a science, an art, a Godgiven regulation. Tell me how friendly you are to others, and I will tell you how friendly other* are to you. I do not say you will not have enemies; Indeed, the best way to get ardent frlenda is to have ardent enemies, if you get tlMr enmity in doing the right thing. Good men and women will always have enemies, because their goodness is a perpetual rebuke to evil; but this antagonism of foes will make more Intense the love of your adherents. Your friends will gather closer around you because of the attacks of your assailants. The more your enemies abuse you the better your coadjutors will think of you. The best friends we have ever had appeared at some juncture when we were especially bombarded. There have been timeB in my life when unjust assault multiplied my friends, AS near as I could calculate, about fifty a minute. You are bound to some people by many cords that neither time nor eternity can break, and I will warrant that many of those cords were twisted by hands malevolent. Human nature was shipwrecked about flftynlne centuries ago, the captain of that craft, one Adam, and his first mate running the famous cargo aground on a snag In the river Hlddekel; but there was at least one good trait of human nature that waded safely ashore from that shipwreck, and that is the disposition to take the part of those unfairly dealt with. When it is thoroughly demonstrated that some one is being persecuted, although at the start slanderous tongues were busy enough, defenders finally gather around as thick as honey bees on a trellis of bruised honeysuckle. • • • Before you begin to show yourself friendly you must be friendly. Get your heart right with God and man, and this grace will become easy. You may by your own resolution get your nature into a semblance of this virtue. but the grace of God can sublimely lift you into i t Sailing on the rivec Thames two vessels ran aground. The owners of one got one hundred horses, and pulled on the grounded ship, and pulled it to pieces. The owners of th<s other grounded vessel waited till the tides came in, and easily floated the ship out of all trouble. So we may pull and hau-l at our grounded human nature, and try to get into better condition, but there is nothing like the oceanic tides of God's uplifting grace. If, when under the flash of the Holy Ghost we see our own foibles and defects and depravities, we will be very lenient and very easy with others. W« will look into their characters for things commendatory, and not damnatory. If you would rub your own eye a little more vigorously you would find a mote in it, the extraction of which would keep you so busy you would not have much time to shoulder your broadaxe and go forth to split up the beam in your neighbor's eye. In a Christian spirit keep on exploring the characters of those you meet, and I am sure you will find something in them fit for a foundation of friendliness. You invite me to come to your country- seat and spend a few days. Thanlc you! I arrive about noon of a beautiful summer day. What do you do? As soon as I arrive you take me out under the shadow of tbe great elms. You take me down to the artificial lake, the •potted trout floating in and out among tbe white pillars of the pond-lilies. Ton take me to the stalls and kennels where you keep your fine stock, and here are the Durham cattle and the Gordon setters; and the high-stepping steeds, by pawing and neighing, the only language they can speak, asking tor harness or saddle, and a short turn down the road. Then we go back to the house, and you get me in thfc right light, and show me the Kensetts and the Blerstadts on the wall, and take me into the music-room and show me the bird-cages, the canaries in the bay window answering the robins in tbe tree-tops! Thank you! I never en* Joyed mjnelf more in the same length If tt»* Now. why do we not do so with the characters of others, and show the bloom and the music and the bright fountains? No. We say, "Come along, and let me show you that man's character. Here is a green-scummed frogpond, and there's a filthy cellar, and X guess under that hedge there must be a 'black snake. Come and let us for an hour or two regale ourselves with the nuisances." Oh, my frlenda, better cover up the faults and extol the virtues, and this habit oace established of universal friendliness will become as easy as It Is for a syringa to flood the air with sweetness, as easy as it will be further on in the season for a quail to whittle up from the gras. When we hear something bad about somebody whom we always supposed to be good, take out your lead pencil and say, "Let me see! Before I accept that baleful story against that man's character I will takeoff from it twenty-five per cent for the habit of exaggeration which belongs to the man who first told the story; then I will take off twenty-five per cent for the additions which the spirit of gossip in every community has put upon the original story; then I will take off twenty-five per cent from the fact that the man may have been put into circumstances of overpowering temptation. So I have taken off seventy- five per cent. But I have not heard his side of the story at all, and for that reason I take off the remaining twenty-five per cent. Excus« me, sir, I don't believe a word of it" « • • Now, supposing that you have, by a Divine regeneration, got right toward God and humanity, and you start out to practice my text. "A man th*t hath frienda must show himself friendly." Fulfil this by all forma of appropriate salutation. Have you noticed that the head is so poised that the easiest thing on earth is to give a nod of recognition? To swing the head from side to side, as when it is wagged in derision, is unnatural and unpleasant; to throw it back, Invites vertigo; but to drop the chin in greeting is accompanied with so little exertion that all day long, and every day, you might practice it without the least semblance of fatigue. So, also, the structure of the hand indicates hand-shaking; the knuckles not made so that the fingers can turn out, but so made that the fingers can turn in, as in clasping hands, and the thumb divided from and set aloof from the fingers, so that while the fingers take your neighbor's hand on one side, the thumb takes it on the other and, pressed together, all the faculties of the hand give emphasis to the salutation. Five sermons in every healthy hand urge us to hand-shaking. Beside* this, every day when you start out load yourself up with kind thoughts, kind words, kind expressions and kind greetings. When a man or woman does well, tell him so, tell her so. If you meet some one who Is improved in health, d It is d strated in girth and color, eay: "How well you look!" But if, on the other hand, under the wear and tear of life be appears pale and exhausted, do not introduce sanitary subjects, or say anything at all about physical condition. In the case of improved health, you have by your words given another lmpulso towards the robust and tbe jocund, while in tbe case of the failing health you have arrested the decline by your silence, by which he concludes: "If I were really eo badly off he would have said something about it." We are all, especially those of a nervous temperament, susceptible to kind words and discouraging words. Form a conspiracy against us, and let ten men meet us at certain points on our way over to business, and let each one say, "How sick you look!" though we should start out well, after meeting the first and hearing his depressing salute, we would begin to examine our Bymptoms. After meeting the second gloomy accosting, we would conclude we did not feel quite as well as usual. After meeting the third our sensations would be dreadful, and after meeting the fourth, unless we suspected a conspiracy, we would go home and go to bed, and tbe other six pessimists would be a useless surplus of discouragement. • • • • We want something like that epirit of sacrifice for others which waa seen in the English channel, where in the storm a boat containing three men was upset and all three ^vere in the water struggling for their lives. A boat came to their relief and a rope was thrown to on© of them and he refused to take it, saying: "First fling it to Tom; . he is just ready to go downi I can last some time longer." A man like that, be he sailor or landsman, be he In upper ranks of society or lower ranks, will always have plenty of friends. What is true manward i s true Godward. We must be the friends of God if we want him to be our friend. We cannot treat Christ badly all our lives and expect him to treat us lovingly. I wae reading of a sea fight in which Lord Nelson captured a French officer, and when the French officer offered Lord Nelson his hand, Nelson replied, "First give me your sword and then give me your hand." Surrender of our resistance to God must precede God's proffer of pardon to us. Repentanot before forgiveness. You must give up your rebelUoas sword before you can get a grasp of the divine hand. Oh, what a glorious state of thing* to have the friendship oX God! Why, we could afford to have all the world against us and all other worlds against us if we had God for us. He could lq a minute blot out this universe, and in another minute make a better universe. I have no idea that God tried hard when he made all things. The most brilliant thing known to us is light, and for the creation of that he only Used a word of command. As out of a flint a frontiersman strikes a spark, so out of one word God struck the noonday sun. For the making of tbe present universe I do not read that God lifted so much as a finger. The Bible frequently speaks of God's hand and God's arm and God's shoulder and God's foot; then suppose be should put hand and arm and shoulder aad foot to utmost tension, what could he not make? That God of such demonstrated and undemonstrated strength, you may have for your present and everlasting friend, not a stately and reticent friend, hard to get at, but as approachable as a country mansion on a summer day, when all the doors and windows are wide open. Christ said, "I am the door." And he Is a wide door, a high door, a palace door, an always open door. • • • My four-year-old child got hurt and did not cry until hours after, when her mother came home, and then she burst into weeping, and some of the domestics, not understanding human nature, said to her, "Why did you not cry before?" She answered: "There was no one to cry to." Now, I have to tell you that while human sympathy may be absent, Divine sympapthy is always acoessible. Give God your love, and get his love; your service, and secure his help; your repentance, and have his pardon. God a friend? Why, that means all your wounds medicated, all your sorrows soothed, and if some sudden catastrophe should hurl you out of earth it would only hurl you into heaven. If God is your friend, you cannot go out of the world too quickly or suddenly, so far as your own happiness is concerned. There were two Christians who entered heaven; the one was standing at a window in perfect health, watching a shower, and the lightning instantly slew him; but the lightning did not flash down the sky as swiftly as his spirit flashed upward. The Christian man who died on the same day next door had been for a year or two failing in health, and for the last three months had suffered from a disease that had made the nights sleepless and the days an anguish.' Do you not really think that the case of the one who went, instantly was more desirable than the one who entered the shining gate through a long lane of insomnia and congestion? In the one case it was like your standing wearily at a door, knocking and waiting, and wondering if it will ever open, and knocking and waiting again, while in the other case it was a swinging open of the door at the first touch of yot%? knuckle. Give your friendship to God, and have God's friendship for you, and even the worst accident will be a victory. How refreshing a human friendship; and true friends, what priceless treasures! When sickness comes, and trouble comes, and death comes, we send for our friends first of all, and their appearance in our doorway in any crisis is reinforcement, and when they have entered, we say: "Now it ia all right!" Oh, what would we do without personal friends, business friends, family friends? But we want something mightier than human friendship in the great exigencies. When Jonathan Edwards, in his final hour, had given the last good-bye to all his earthly friends, he turned on his pillow and closed bis eyes, confidently saying: "Now where is Jesus of Nazareth, my true and never-falling Friend?" Yes, 1 admire human friendship as seen in the case of David and Jonathan, of Paul and Onesiphorus, of Herder and Goethe, of Goldsmith and Reynolds, of Beaumont and Fletcher, of Cowley and Harvey, of Erasmus and Thomas More, of Lessing and Mendelssohn, of Lady Churchill and Princess Anne, of Orestes and Pylades, each requesting that himself might take the point of tfie dagger, so the other might be spared; Gt Epaminondas and Pelopidas, who locked their shields in battle, determined to- die together; but the grandest, the mightiest, the tenderest friendship in all the universe is the friendship between Jesus Christ and a believing soul. Yet, after all I have said, I feel I have only done what James Marshall, the miner, did ia 1S48 in California, before its gold mines were known. He reached in and put. upon the table of his employer, Captain Suiter, a thimbleful of gold dust "Where did you get that?" said his employer. The reply was: "I got it this morning from a mill race from which the water had been drawn off." But that gold dust, which could have been taken up between the finger and the thumb, was the prophecy and specimen that revealed California's wealth to all nations. And today I have only put before you a specimen of the value of divine friendship, only a thimbleful of n i s e i Inexhaustible and infinite, though all time and all eternity go oa with tae exploration.

Beecher. president of the Standard American Merino Association, at Its last meeting: The great influx or the foreign mutton breeds was the natural result of a disposition upon the part of our sheep men to take up something new and untried as a cure for the evils of a mistaken national economic policy. The lessons of experience that came to the ones exploiting the policy will scarcely need repeating during this generation, and the men who sacrificed their merino flocks will want some of, the blood again, and that from now on. Portunate the man who has the material with which to recoup his fortunes, and thrice fortunate the man who stayed to the front through the thickest of the breed's struggle and maintained the number and Improved the quality. Merino Mutton.—The facts demonstrated by the experience of the last few years Is that well-fatted Merino mutton is as good eating as the best of the so-called mutton breeds; second, that a Merino ewe, taken the year round, keep and care considered, is the most satisfactory of all sheep mothers. She will yield the heaviest and most valuable fleece of wool, and when bred to a Southdown ram, will produce an up-to-date mutton lamb satisfactory alike to both feeder and butcher. What type of Merino will meet future demands? We are living in a wonderful age, a period of marvelous development, invention and discovery, and never before was competition so sharp and perslstnnt, making necessary strict economy and best methods if success is to be attained in any business or calling, and the breeding of domestic animals is no exception. In ^ihis field the expense of care and keepi on the one hand, and the capabilities of the animal or race on the other, are elements for consideration and turn the scale for good or otherwise. CarelesB and slipshod methods in growing and feeding crops to inferior and scrub stock have passed Into history, more especially the scrub animal. Every industry must supply a need of mankind somewhere. All through the vast sheep walks of Argentina, Australia and the Transvaal are numerous bands of almost countless numbers of aheep, substantially Merino blood, kept with wool production the paramount object in view, and necessarily from the very order of things inferior in type to the Improved flocks, limited in numbers, in the hands of the world's great breeders. With the upward movement of wool in the American markets, these same conditions will prevail again in the vast plains of our country, west and southwest. To furnish the material for the improvement of the fleece qualities of these sheep will, in the future, as in the past, be the mission of the stud flocks of American Merinos. Lamb Crop Abort. It tg set forth in a bulletin on the sheep industry of the country, recently Issued by the National Live Stock association, that while the industry, as a whole, was never in a more prosperous condition, the lamb crop does not show as large a percentage as oaual, due mainly to the universal cold rains during the lambing season. All sections report forage to be the finest in ten years, and the lambs are larger and fatter than usual at this time of the year (the only exception being in one or two limited sections along the Pacific coast, where drouth has prevailed. According to information received direct from owners. It appears that less sheep will be marketed this year than last. The high price of western wool, 14 to 18 cents per pound, and the fancy prices paid for western alfalfa-fed lambs on the eastern markets, make it much more profitable for breeders to grow wool and lambs than mutton. It is too early yet to correctly estimate the wool crop, but it is believed that an increase of 10 per cent is a conservative figure. Varied Rations.—With an abundance of good, well kept pastures, plenty of clover hay, corn, oats and peas, the Jersey dairy farmer is approximately independent of the markets for dairy foods. If prices are satisfactory, it will be wise economy to increase the variety in his rations by the addition of bran, cotton-seed meal, linseed meal and gluten feed or meal. But the prices must be right or they may cost more than they come to.—N. B. Franklin. Stave Silos.—A correspondent of the "Jersey Bulletin" speaks a good word for silos for the stave variety, with no special foundation prepared. He says "they only sit on a level place, and in finishing feeding from them we have found less waste than is found in a cement bottom. Our silos have kept •ilage In a perfect condition right up to the walls—not a forkful of waste since leaving the top." "Call a man a sad doc,'* said the CoAfed Philosopher, "and he will look knowing and feel flattered, but if yon call him a miserable pup he'll wast to tight."—Indianapolis Journal.

The Manila correspondent of the London Times says: "Fully 15,000 in-, surgent troops have evacuated the sub-: urba of Manila. The Americans' gave; a parade and granted full military; honors. Perfect harmony prevailed: and the natives were evidently delighted at the opportunity for a public display of the efficiency of their troops in drill. The firmness and tact of Qen. Otis have produced an excellent result. The governor of Iloilo is facilitating commerce according to his agreement and trade with the southern ports is increasing daily." Goes to Manila. Ex-State Senator S. S. Steel of Pittaburg, Pa., left for Manila, where he will receive, supervise the counting and carry back to Harrisburg the votes of that band of Pennsylvania heroes who arejnarching in advance of the American flag on the other side of the globe. He expects to hold the election on Nov. 8, when the election will be held in Pennsylvania. The election will be held under the laws of the state, and the effort will be made to have every vote counted as the soldier voter intended casting it. Gomes Disgusted. An uncontradlcted report has been received by Gen. Law ton that Gen. Gomez has tendered his resignation of the command of the Cuban army to the Cuban government and that it has been accepted. Gomez, it appears, has been protesting against the Cuban government yielding the control of affairs to the Americans and the explanation for resigning- was his disapproval of ^passive submiisaion to conditions tending to the practical discrediting and retirement of the Cuban republic, as such, and the establishing of the absolute dominion of the United States." Shot at Queen WUhelmina. A report from Berlin says that a fortnight ago an attempt was made to assassinate Queen Wilhelmina near Amersfort, province of Utrecht, on the road between Castle Soostdyt and Baara. * The bullet missed the queen but plowed shrough the cheek of an attandant. The would-be assassin was arrested. Affairs ID the Island of Crete. The foreign admirals have sent an identical telegram to their respective governments requesting the immediate expulsion from Crete of the 15,000 Bashi-Bazouks in the island, the recall of Turkish troops and authorities and the appointment of a governor-general as desired by the Cretans.

Men* struation was Irregular and too profuse, was also troubled with leucorrha&a. I had given'up all hopes of getting well; everybody thought I had consumption. After taking five bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I felt very much better and was able to do nearly all my own work. I continued the use of your medicine, and feel that I owe my recovery to you. I can not thank you«nough for your advice and your wonderful medicine. Any one doubting my statement may write to me and I will gladly answer all inquiries.—Mrs. NELL HUBST, Deepwater, Mo.

The 32d Michigan volunteers arrived at Island Lake after an unusually pleasant journey for a military train. The trip from Huntsville, Ala., was one grand ovation all along1 the line. At every little hamlet great crowds gathered tit the depot to greet the boys, and the farther north the regiment proceeded, the greater became the audiences to welcome them. Through Indiana and Ohio, at every depot where the trajn stopped, the cars were surrounded by women, with flags and every kind of delicacy to feed the boys. The train was made of four sections as follows: First section—Cos. K, Detroit, 81 men, three officers; M, Detroit, 69 men, three officers; I, Detroit, 89 men, three officers; Col. MeGurrin in charge. Second section — Cos. L, Detroit, 82 men, three officers; F, Grand Haven, 81 men, two officers; D, Battle Creek, 81 men, two officers; Maj. Reynolds in command. Third section— Cos. C, Kalamazoo, 82 men, two officers; A, Coldwater, 7S men, two officers; G, Grand Rapids, 82 men, three officers; under Maj. Abbey. Fourth section—uos. It, Grand Rapids, 83 men, three officers; B, Grand Rapids, 88 men,' one officer; E, Grand Rapids, 78 men, three officers; under Lieut.-Col. Vos. The total number of men brought north was 1,039, while the original roster of the regiment, as it left Island Lake, four months ago, contained 1,328 names. A detail of two officers and 18 fnen was left as a guard over the division hospital at Fernandina. Of the remaining 209 men, some have died, many are away on furloughs, some are still in the hospitals. The sick on the sections were sent in the hospital cars to Detroit and from there to their respective homes, Attempt to Murder Prison Guards. 1 As the Marquette state prison guards "were watching the prisoners at breakfast, Convict Dick Huntley arose from •4iis seat, ran the length of the hall and •lunged at Guard E. D. Mosher with a tfcnife. Mosher clinched with Huntley, but the latter succeeded in stabbing <the deputy in the abdomen, back and •arm. The alarm was immediately •sounded,"and the entire prl&uu foice was soon in the mess room. The warden gave a command to the prisoners to march to their cell corridors. They obeyed sullenly, and when the order was given to get inside the cells, six or eight refused to move. Warden Freeman ordered the nearest guard to shoot. Huntley jumped for his cell door, but the bullet took off his thumb. The rest were cowed. . Huntley is incorrigible and was transferred from Jackson prison. He is serving 30 years, 10 of which is for the attempted murder of Deputy Northrop, of Jackson prison. Mosher, Who was then guard at Jackson, shot aim. It is believed this latest outbreak was part of a plot which included the murder of Warden Freeman. Bfaynard and Gardner Disagree. Secretary of State Gardner says he does not agree with Attorney-General Maynard regarding the continuance in office of the U. of M. regents appointed by Gov. Pingree to fill vacancies. The attorney-general recently gave an opinion that the appoint men t of Geo. A. Farr and H. S. Dean to vacant regencies was not for unexpired term, and that notices of election should be ffiven by the secretary of state for election to fill the places at the next general election. Secretary Gardner asserts that Messrs. Farr and Dean should remain in the positions and finish the unexpired terms.

The navy department is rushing preparations for the start of the big battleships Oregon and Iowa to Honolulu, and theuce to Manila. Battleship of this character are not needed to keep the Filipino insurgents in order and their assembling at Manila in conjunction with the dispatch of heavy reinforcements of troops for the American land forces cannot but be regarded as signfica'ht. The President, it is well understood, objects to Spain disposing of any of the Philippine islands without our consent and as it is reported that Germany has jealous eyes upon the important island of Palawan it is believed that this increase of Uncle Sam's forces in eastern waters is to prevent Spain turning over any of her possessions to any foreign power by secret pact or otherwise. Winter Camp* In the South. All the troops now stationed in the northern camps are to be moved south as rapidly as possible.

The Sultan llowi Before British Wrath. The sultan has ordered Djevad Pasha, the Turkish military commander in the island of Crete, to accede to the demand of the British admiral for disarmament of the Turks thus complying with the whole ultimatum of the admiral soon after. The latter will probably go to Huntsville, Ala. The troops at Knoxville, where the 31st Michigan regiment is now located, will probably remain at that camp until the assignments are made for the militany occupation of Cuba. It is not the intention, however, to send the army of occupation to Cuba until the unhealthy season has passed, and meanwhile the troops will be put in the best possible condition. •= TEL E C R A P HtC-BI-TSr^ The queen regent of Spain will have have a representative at the czar's proposed disarmament conference. Gen. Shafter will be placed in command of either the department of the lakes or the department of California. Sagasta has urged upon the Spanish peace commissioners to strenuously defend the retention of the Philippine islands by Spain. British protests have caused the Chinese government to finally conclude the New Chwang railway loan with a British syndicate. Gen. Lawton reports to the war department that all but eight of the Spanish prisoners have been shipped from Santiago to Spain. Gen. Zurlinden, who resigned from the French cabinet because of the Dreyfus agitation, has been appointed military governor of Paris. Sickness among the troops of Gen. Lawton'H command at Santiago is increasing. Nearly one-sixth of his force j a r^w r>n ^Vie sick list, although the The French Republic Endangered. All reports from Paris agree that the Dreyfus case has has now brought France to the eve of a crisis, perhaps the most formidable in the history of the third republic, th'reateniug not merely the existence of the cabinet but the stability of the constitution. President Faure is known to be utterly opposed to a revision of the case; but the premier, M. Brisson, and a majority of the cabinet, have decided in favor of reopening the matter. Popular feeling is divided, and the army is against a revision. There is grave danger of a serious breach before the famous case is finally settled. Aguinaldo to Our Friend. Aguinaldo, the Filipinos leader, has issued a communication in which he says: "Rumors circulated regarding the strained relations between the Filipino and American forces are base, malicious slanders of the enemy to both parties, are without any truth, and are circulated for the purpose of prejudicing the appeal of the Filipinos for their release from the oppression and cruelty of Spain. The relations of our people and yours have been, and will continue to be, of the most friendly nature." The ETacvtlon of Cuba. According to information furnished by the Spanish evacuation commission at Havana the number of Spanish soldiers in Cuba aggregates 100,000, and it is understood that it is proposed that the men shall carry with them their arms, ammunition, material and equipments. It is estimated that the end of February will have come before the evacuation of the island is completed, as the soldiers must embark in Spanish vessels. 1— Killed by the JBarttadoet Hurricane. Reports of the damage wrought in the Barbadoes, B. W. I., show that 160 people were killed; 50,000 persons were made homeless, and the full damage is estimated at more than 81,000,000. number of deaths is not great. Chevalier M. Proskowitz, acting chief consul of Austria-Hungary at Chicago, fell under a train at Ft. Wayne, Ind., while enroute to New York and was ground to pieces. Secretary Long issued an important order reorganizing the north Atlantic squadron. The fleet is reduced from a force of about 100 vessels to 31, the remainder being detached, ready for disposition in the future. Senator C. J. Faulkner, of West Virginia, has been appointed to the position on the Canadian commission made vacant bv the retirement of Senator Gray when he was transferred to the Paris peace commission. It is not expected that the troops will be ordered to Cuba before the first or the middle of October, when the details of the evacuation will have taken some shape and the dangers from fever will have become less menacing. Gen. Chanoine, the newly appointed war minister of France, says that he will not be bound by any action of the cabinet council previous to his appointment and should he see any attempt, under the pretext of revision of the Dre3Tf us proceedings, to engace in maneuvers against the army he would immediately resign. Gen. Miles is working on the plans for reorganizing the army. He says that Cuba will be garrisoned with about 12,000 regulars and 28,000 volunteers; the Philippines with 3,000 regulars and 22,000 volunteers; Porto Rico 4,000 regulars and 10,000 volunteers; Honolulu 1,000 regulars and 3,000 volunteers. The refusal of the Spanish authorities to allow supplies sent from the United States for the starving Cubans to enter free of duty may result in serious trouble. . The Cuban soldiers have laid down their arms, but as they and the peaceable Cubans can secure no food and are rapidly starving they are on the verge of rioting for bread. The mystery which surrounds the finding of the horribly mutilated body of a young woman in a mill pond at Bridgeport, Conn., remains impenetrable, notwithstanding the fact that the body h*4 been positively identified as that of Grace Perkins, of Middleboro, by her father, and the suspicion of his committing a horrible murder had been fastened upon Charles Bourne, Miss Perkin*s lover, who was missic;/. Bourne and Miss Perkins have returned to Middleboro after a little pleasure trip together. 1 X ' • T l Che Dap Star of m Orkncp's. A Romance—By Hannah B. McKenzie. CHAPTER XII. Two months later, on a stopniy da*y in Jate October, Magnus Halcrow aad Elspeth Troil are standing together within Eigiht of the Rowan Crag. It Is probably tho last tim» they shall do so, for Elspeth leaves Orkney with Lady West ray tomorrow. The Westray children have been proved tlie heirs of her late husband's property, and Crag Castle will be shut up and uninhabited during their minority. The horfor of that terrible day comes back again to Elspeth, and she shudders involuntarily. Tihen Magnus Bays slowly": "You shiver, Miss Troll. Forgive me for alluding to that terrible time, but I must do so just this once. I have no wish to speak against the deRd, but I wish to disabuse your mind of the idea that I loved Lilith Stuart She fascinated, enthralled me, as she had done other men before—th&t was all. Wtoon I saw her as she wiw—her be*utiful exterior merely a covering for a warped and self-engrosaed BOIII—my heart turned from her with repulsion." "Hush!" says Elspeth gently. "Remember she is dead. We must deal kindly with her now. She is in God's hands." Magnus took the womanly little hand and held it for a minute. He does not tell her—he does not think she knows —what he himself la sure of—that Lilith Stuart had met her death In trying to compass that of another. "Tell me the truth. Elspeth," he says suddenly. He has not called her Elspeth for years, and the girl's face becomes suddenly flooded with crimson. "Do you think I loved her?" "I thought," answered Elspeth slowly, tracing lines with an umbrella on the damp path, "that you were very near doing so, Eh*. Halcrow." 9 "And it I <?hould tell you now," eaid Dr. Halcrow, very calmly, though some strange emotiou throbs beneath the outward calm, "that I have learned lately what I have never realised before— that it is some on» els« who had the innermost place in my hMxt during that foolish euthraiment—what would you say, Elspeth? And if I asked you not to go away toraorrqw^jH1, if you do, to come back soon to thT d€ar~otd~ island, and to a heart aad home waiting for you, what would you say, Elspeth?" The hand in his giv^s one Quick, sharp quiver. He can feel its putee bounding Wildly. "Why do you ask these questions, Dr. Halcrow? Is it out of pity?" "Pity?" he repeats. "Nay, Elspeth; pity would never make me ask & woman to be my wife. It is because I love you, dear, with all my heart. How could I help it—I, who have known you so well, so closely, eo Intimately these last months—who hare seen your quiet brave heroism, your womanly gentleness, your self-sacrifice, your sweet charity and forgiveness? It was you who showed me what love really means. You will come, you will love me, dear, will you not?" He holds out his arme, and without a word Elspeth goes into them. She has obtained the happiness she had never dared dream would be her*. And so that spot, which had-become the scene of the darkest tragedy in the lives of both, becomes also to both the dearest spot on earth. [THE END.] Di\ Falconer's Temptation, A SHORT STORY. It occurred in the most unromaiuic way, and amid the most prosaic surroundings. There is probably no position in the world more fatal to romance, or more likely to crush all superfluous sentiment out of a man's nature, than that of a parish doctor. The scenes of squalid misery he is compelled every day to wit nets are more likely to blunt and exhaust the sense of pity In the average man than to develop it by exercise, especially when a little experience has shown how closely they are associated with vice 4Ud deceit, and how certain is the man wl>o gives way to his first impulsive Instinct of charity to awake sooner or later to the knowledge that he has been cheated and laughed at ten times V tffsjolous rogues for onoe that at has been of any real help to the unfortunate. And he is apt to become cynical in consequence. Richard Falconer had started in life with more rather than less of the usual romance and unpractical sentiment of youth. The last thing he had thought of had been the hard realities of life. And, as a natural consequence those hard realities were now asserting themselves arid forcing themselves upon his attention more and more every day in the hard struggle to establish himself in practice on the slender baaiB of a parish appointment in a big provincial town where he was as yet little known and had a host of wealth ier competitors. It was so different from the career his glowing anticipations had pictured in the happy old college days. He had left the university with a good degree, and his chances of ultimate success were most highly estimated by those professional friends who knew him best; but he had himself almost lost heart. He looked every day with sinking spirits and lengthening face on his young wife and son—now a rapidly growing -boy with -a portentous appetite,-whomhe must soon begin to think of placing at school—and his heart sank' lower still one morning when the only visitor to his surgery was a ragged messenger, who produced from his pocket a dirty and much-folded slip of paper, which, on being smoothed out, proved to be only the usual parish order to visit a pauper patient in the poorest quarter of the town. It looked just like any other such as he was in the daily habit of receiving, and he glanced at it almost rcecJwLnically as he answered: " 'Peter Ingram, 3 Paradise Row—urgent.' Very well, I shall be there in al?out ha'f an hour." It .was not a promising duty, but It was at least better than to sit eating his own heart in the bitterness of enforced idleness, as he had too often been compelled to do of late; so, waiting only to put his stethoscope and thermometer in his pocket, he seized his umbrella and started. The streets through which he passed to his destination, each darker and dirtier and more thickly studded with public houses -th.an_jJie_JLastJ_seemed to his morbid fancy to symbolize his own pdsTTtcJir and prospects. In one of the darkest and dirtiest of all he stopped before a house even in such a neighborhood was conspicuous for its neglected appearance. The paint had long ago peeled in great patches off the door, and more than half the panes of glass were broken in the window, while the remaining ones were perfectly opaque with dust and cobwebs. Nine cut of ten persons would have passed the house as uninhabiied, but Dr. Falconer knew better. Finding his knock unanswered, he tried the latch, but the door was locked. Again he rapped sharply, this time with the handle of his umbrella, and after a second repetition a key grated in the lock, the door opened three inches, and a glittering eye, under a red bushy eyebrow, sharply scrutinized him from behind it. Then it closed again; he heard a chain unfasten, the door was opened just wide enough to adnjit him, and closed, locked, and chained behind him the moment he had entered. "Are you afraid of thieves, my friend?" said the doctor,glancing round the four bare walls as well as the light permitted. "You need hardly be nerovus on that score, I think." "No," said the man who had admitted him; "one who has parted with the very last rag and stick he can spare has at least that consolation. Vacuus cantabit, you know. But I have still a little pride left, and don't like every one to see me in this plight." "Ah," said Falconer, catching him by the arm to draw him near the light, "you have come down in the world, then. Was it drink? Be frank with ine." "I wont deny that drink began it," he answered, quietly; "But don't make a mistake, doctor; drink isn't the cause of my present illness. I was once a university man myself.and looking forward to a profession. Drink ruined my prospects, and I found myself a private soldier Instead. But I pulled up. I haven't tasted drink for many years. An old wound received at Abu Klea, and repeated doses of. malaria have brought me to my present condition." "Am I to understand, then," *aid the doctor, "that you are yourself the patient I was sent for to see? Why are you not in bed. then?" "Because there is no one to open the door but myself. I am alone in the house—and in the world. But whe* you see iny bed," ha added, grimi>. "you will not wonder that I like to keep out of it as long as I can." "You ought to be In it now,** said the doctor, and, indeed, as he spoke the man began to shiver and tremble, and crying with chattering teeth, "Ob —h—h! It's on me again!" clutched at the solitary chair that stood In the room.and sat down in such a paroxysm of shuddering that the floor shook beneath him, and the very window rattled in its frame. The doctor hastily produced his hypodermic case, and looked around in vain for a jug of water. Opening a door behind him, he stepped into a room almost as bare as the first, except that a heap of rags lay in one corner and a handful of fire smoldered in the rusty grate. A water jug and a cup and plate stood upon the floor close to the wall, but or lift Ing the jug he found it empty. Returning to hie patient, he found the fl*. had terminated in violent sickness. "My poor fellow," said he, as soon as this had subsided, "you must go to bed and have a nurse to look after you. I shall have you taken to the infirmary at once. Just lie down here for a few minutes until I can procure a fly, and I will have you there in a Jiffy. I will take you myself, so there will be no ed him by the arm and shrieked out: But to his surprise the patient clutc ed him by thearm and shrieked out: "No, doctor, no! anything rather than that! I would sooner die on the floor! I won't go, I tell you! If you can't do me any good here, just leave me alone; but go to infirmary or hospital, I won't, or have a nurse fussing about me either. I've fought through as bad as this before without any help, and I will again! Go!" he fairly yelled in his excitement; "go and leave me to get through it without your help." "Oho!" muttered the doctor to himself, "so it will be the asylum instead of the infirmary. Don't agitate yourself, my friend," he continued to his patient; "if you prefer misery to comfort, and sickness to health, that's you. own affair. I'm not going to force any kindness on you. You shall stay here; I can't pass any harsher sentence on you than that. Now will you be good enough to strip to the waist, and let me overhaul you thoroughly. You haven't had malarial fever so long as you say without enlarged spleen or liver, I'll be bound." The man sulkily took Off lig coat and waistcoat. "Don't ask m» to strip any further, doclor. It's too cold; and, to confess the truth, I haven't had my clothes off for weeks, and I'm ashamed you should see them." "All the more reason for taking them off now," said the doctor. "Mam, how can you endure it? It is eTnnrRti to breed a fever in itself! Off with them!" and he caught hold of him to help him to remote them. But the other wriggled from his grasp, and planted himself in a corner of the -room;—with hlo hands clutching hiflwaist as far round as he could reach. "Don't be such a howling fool!" said the doctor, with as much good nature as he could command under the circumstances. "Listen to me, my friend. !foif have contracted liver and enlarged spleen at this moment, or I'm very much mistaken. But you have worse than that. I felt something when I caught hold of you a moment ago, and I'm afraid it's a malignant tumor of the most serious kind. As I live," he went on, stepping close to him, and passing his hand round the waist, in spite of efforts to prevent him, "I can make out more than one even through your clothes. Come, come! Be a little more reasonable. Let me get you to bed and examine you properly. You're not fit to be on your feet at this moment. Come, my poor fellow, don't play the fool any longer. If you do, I shall have to conclude you a madman, and take measures accordingly. Don't force me to that." "Well, doctor, I give in then. Just step into the other room while I undress, please, and I'll call when you're to come in." The doctor raised his eyebrows at this modest request, but thought it best to humor him, and went into the outer room, closing the door behind him. As he did so, he heard the key turned in the lock on the other side. In another minute, however, It was turned again, and a few seconds later he heard the voice of his patient: "Come in now, doctor." Entering, he found him on a ragged mattress that lay on the floor, covered with a dirty blanket and the coat and trousers he had been wearing. Kneeling down beside him, he proceeded to examine him in regular professional fashion, but to his amazement he entirely failed to detect any sign of the tumors he had been confident he felt through his patient's clothes. The man's emaciation was extreme, and had any such abnormal swelling been present it could not have escaped his observation. But there was none, and Falconer was obliged to admit to himself that his first diagnosis was incorrect. He could find n« trace of the hard knotty swellings he had been so sure he felt beneath the clothes. There was enough, however, to warrant a grave view of the case, and he exerted all his eloquence to persuade the patient to consent to be taken to the Infirmary, but without (To be Continued.* MORE TROOPS FOR MANILA.

It was stated at the war department that no exigency had arisen which made it necessary to send the troops to Manila, but the order issued was in accordance with the general plan of the department regarding a garrison for the Philippines. That plan included 20,- 000 men for the Philippines, 12,500 for Porto Rico and 40,000 for Cuba. The troops to be sent to Manila under this last order will till tho complement for that station.

But few people who are born fools ever succeed in living it down. It Is noble to keep still, and the rebuke of silence is like a keen sword. Lots of people are too conscientious to lie and yet manage to suppress the truth. A man gets the last word in an arpiment with a wonmn, but it's because the givca it to him. The people who are buying Cuban Junta securities would be easy for aa amateur gold brick operator. The government has just ordered 10,000,000 cartridges. The world mustn't forget that America ia loaded. The settlement which is making fastest progress in society and crowns the exit of the century is the brotherhood of man. The power of one man to compel another to do his bidding, caused by the superior man's having authority to punish, is despotism. In all thoughts, and plans for the betterment of the world it has come to be seen that progress must be by biological and not by mechanical methods. Go face the flre at sea, or the cholera In your friend's house or the burglar in your own, or what danger lies in the way of duty, knowing that you are guarded by the cherubim of destiny. A Boston old maid declared that if Hobson had been a benedict he would not have dared to kiss MIss Arnold. She is probably right. The country would not have tolerated a Benedict- Arnold affair. No maa can do his work well,«as well as he can, year in and year out, and not be hacking and hewing at something more impalpable than wood or stone, and not be shaping something more double than iron or steel, even in his own character, his own spiritual destiny. Every workshop is a workshop for forging that, for making is strong and beautiful. Manual training in reformatories Fs a valuable influence. Men are often driven to crime, not because there ia no work for them to do, but because they are not fitted to do any kind of work. They have not had the training to fit them for life. Where the reformatories teach the convicts the use of hands and utilization of the senses and this is followed by kindly and helpful treatment by others reformation will be accompllehed in many cases. But the criminal's too ready excuse for his crime that he1 could find no honest employment of his hands or his brains is seldom true. There is good reason why the leader in an exploit such as Hobson's should be given special credit, for experience tells us that he must have inspired his men by h(ji example. It is so also with other leaderships besides those of war. Those who follow may be as brave as the leader after they get started, but they have not his initial courage or they would start without him. The leaders in great social and political reforms start out usually under most discouraging circumstances, but they have faith and courage, and finally through their persistence gather a few followers whom they inspire by their example. When success crowns their effort* their supporters are entitled to credit, but the chief honors fall naturally to the leaders, without whom the movement would not have been undertaken. It is characteristic, says Brad street's, of the celerity with which Americans adapt themselves to new conditions that almost immediately after the announcement of the surrender of Santiago the treasury department WM overrun with requests for information aa to the customs duties to be exacted at that city and other ports In eastern Cuba, and as to what preparations are being made for the resumption of trade with those ports. The expectation of a eooslderablt trade thither seems to be widely entertained. The underetandlng appears to be that the government will, for the present, enforce the minimum duties formerly exacted on import* from Spain, eliminating those charged on Imports from other countries. This policy will relieve commerce between the United States and Cuba from a heavy burden, and should la tat nature of things help to stimn- JaU a trad* tint ha« been so m«cb distorted. TALMAGE'S SERMON. "ENEMIES OVERTHROWN" LAST SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. 'Let Ood Arlu, Let HI* • • • t n i u Be Scattered"—Be«k of Ftalms, CU»pter Ixvlll., Ver*« 1—The Struggle* of Buutau KxUteace. A procession was formed to carry the ark, or sacred box, which, though ;only three feet nine Inches in length and four feet three laches in height and depth, was the lymibol of God's presence. A* the leaders of the procession lifted this, ornamented and brilliant box by two golden poles run through four golden rings, and started for. Mount Zion, all the people chanted toi battle hymn of my text, "Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered." . The Cameronians of Scotland, outraged, by James I., who forced upon them religious forms that were offensive, and by the terrible persecution of Drummond, Dalaiel and Turner, and •by the oppressive laws of Charles I. and Charles II., were driven to proclaim war against tyrants, and went forth to fight for religious liberty; and the mountain heather became red with carnage, and at Bothwell Bridge ami Aird's Moss asd Druraclog the battle hymn and the battle shout of those glorious old Scotchmen was the text I have chosen: "Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered." '. What a whirlwind of power was Oil" ver Cromwell, and how with his soldiers, named the "Ironsides," he went from vletory to victory! Opposing Enemies melted as he looked at them, dlamissed parliament a schoolmaster a school. He pointed his finger at Berkeley Castle, and It was taken. He ordered Sir Ralph Hop- •ton, the general, to dismount, and he dismounted. See Cromwell marching 'on with his army, and hear the battle cry of the "Ironsides," loud as a storm and solemn a« a death-knell, standards reeling before it, and cavalry horses going back on their haunchee, and 'armies flying at Marston Moor, at Winceby Field, at Naseby, at Bridsewater and Dartmouth—"Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered!" i So you see my text is not like a complimentary and tasseled sword that you sontetlmes see hung up in a parlor, a sword that was never, in battle, and only to be used on general training day, but more like some weapon carefully hung up in your home, telling ita story of battles, for my text hangs in the Scripture armory, telling ;of the holy wars of three thousand years in which it has been carried, but still as keen and mighty as when David first unsheathed it. It seems to me that in the church of God, and in all styles of reformator; we most need now is a battle-cry. We .'raise our little standard, and put on it the name of some man who only a few year* ago began to live and ir. a few years will cease to live. We go toto contest against the armies of iniquity, depending too much on human agencies. We use for a battle-cry the name of some brave Christian reformer, but after a while that reformer dies, or gete old, or.loses his courage, and then we take another b&ttle-cry, and thia time perhaps we put the name of some one who betrays the cause and «ells out to the enemy. What we want ;for a battle-cry is the name of sojne leader who will never betray us. and will never surrender, and will never die. All respect have I for brave men and women, but If we are to get the victory all along the line we must take the hint of the Gideonites, who wiped out the Bedouin Arabs, commonly called Mldianites. These Gideonites had a glorious leader in Gideon, but what was the battle-cry with which they flung their enemies into the worst defeat into which any army was ever tumbled? It was "The sword of the Lord and of Gideon." Put God first, whoever you put second. If the army of the American revolution ie to free America, it must be "The eword of the Lord and of Washington," If the Germans want to win the day at Sedan, it mvst be VThe sword of the Lord and Von Koltke." Waterloo was won for the English, because not only the armed men at the front, but the worshipers in the cathedrals at the rear, were crying "The' sword of the Lord and Wellington." The Methodist* have gone in triumph across nation after nation with, the cry, "The sword of the Lord and of Wesley." The Presbyterians a*ve gone from victory to victory with the cry. T h e sword of the Lord and John Knvx:." The Baptists have conquered millions after millions for Christ with the cry, "The sword of the Lord and of JuAson." The American Episcopalians have won their mighty way with the cry. "The eword of the Lord and of Bishop M'llvalne." The victory is to those who put God first. But as we want a battle-cry suited to til sect* of rellfionlsts, and to all lands, 1 nominate as the battle-cry of Christen- ^om in the approaching Armageddon the words of my text, sounded before the ark as it was carried to Mount fckm: MI^i God arise, let nit eseales As far as our finite mind can judge, it aeema about time for God to rise. Doea it not seem to you that the abominations of this earth have gone far enough? Was there ever a time when sin w « BO defiant? Were there ever before so many flats lifted toward God telling him to come on if he dare? Look at the blasphemy abroad! What towering profanity! Would it be poeslble for any one to calculate the number of times that the name of the Almighty God and of Jesua Christ are every day taken irreverently on the lips? Profane swearing la as much forbidden by the law aa theft, or anon, or murder, yet who executes it? Profanity is worse than theft, or arson, or murder, for these crimes are attacks on humanity—that is an attack on God. This country Is pre-eminent for blasphemy. A man traveling in Russia was supposed to be a clergyman. "Why do you take me to be a clergyman?" said the man. "Oh," said the Russian, "all other Americana swear." The crime is multiplying in intensity. God very often shows what he thlnka of it, but for the most part the fatality is hushed up. Among the Adirondacks I met the funeral procession of a man who two days before had fallen under a flash of lightning, while boasting after a Sunday of work In the fields, that he had cheated God out of one day, anyhow, and the man who worked with him on the game Sabbath Is still living, but a helpless invalid, under the same flash. • • e I Indict this evil as the regicide, the fratricide, the patricide, the matricide, the uxorlclde of the century. Yet under what innocent and delusive and mirthful names alcoholism deceives the Treople! it is a "cordlair^~~If lr""blt= ters." It is. an "eye-opener." It Is an "appetizer." It is a "digester." It Is an "invigorator." It Is a "settler." It Is a "night cap." Why don't they put on* the right labels—"Essence of Perdition," "Conscience Stupefter," "Five Drachms of Heart-ache," "Tears of Orphanage," "Blood of Souls," "Scabs of an Eternal Leprosy," "Venom of the Worm that Never Dies?" Only once in a while is there anything In the title of liquors to even hint their atrocity, as in the case of "sour ma»h." That I see advertised £11 over. It Is an honest name, and anyone can understand it. "Sour mash!" That is, it makes a man's disposition sour, and his associations sour and his prospect sour; and then It is good to mash his body, and mash h!s soul, and mash his business, and mash his family. "Sour mash!" One honest name at last for an intoxicant! But through lying labels of many of the apothecaries1 shops, good people, who are only a little under tone in health, and wanting some invigoration, have unwittingly got on their tongue the fangs hia cobra, that stings to death so large a ratio of the human race. Others are ruined by the common and all-destructive habit of treating customers. And it Is a treat on their coming to town, and a treat while the bargaining progresses, and a treat when the purchase is made, and a treat as he leaves town. Others, to drown their troubles, submerge themselves with this worse trouble. Oh, the world is battered and bruised and blasted with this growing evil! It is more and more entrenched and fortified. They have millions of dollars subscribed to marshal and advance the alcoholic forces. They nominate and elect and govern the vast majority of the officeholders of this country. On their side they h£ve enlisted the mightiest political power of the centuries. And behind them stand all the myrmidons of the nether world, Satanic, Apollyonic and Diabolic. At is beyond all huiiian effort to overthrow this baatile of decanters or capture this Gibraltar of rum jugs. And while I approve of all human agencies of reform. I would utterly despair if we had nothing else. But what cheers me is that our best troops are yet to come. Our chief artillery is in reserve. Our greatest commander has not yet fully taken the field. If all hell is oa their side, all heaven is on our side. Now "Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered.1' Then look at the impurities of these great cities. Ever and anon there are inh ifie newspapers exposures of social life that make the story of Sodom quite respectable; "for such things," Christ says, "wtre more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah" than for the Chorazias and Btthsaidas of greater light. It is no unusual tbiyg in our cltie3 to see men in high positions with two or three fajdUies, or refined ladies willing solemnly to marry the very swine of society, rf they be wealthy. The Bible all .aflame with denunciations agaiuat an impure life, but many of the American ministry uttering cor one poiiji-.blank word against this iniquity lest some old libertine throw up his church pew. Machinery Organized in all the cities of the United States and Canada by which to put yearly in the grinding-mill of this iniquity thousands of the unsuspecting of the country farm-bouses, one procuress confessing ia the courts that she had supplied tha infernal market with one hundred and ttty victims in six moot**. Oh! for Are h*adre4 newspaper* in America to swing open the door of this lazar-houue of aociul corruption! Exposure muat come be* fore extirpation. While the city van oarrlea the scum of this sin from the prison to the police court morning by morning, It is full time, if we do not want high American life to become like that of the court of Louis XV., to put millionaire Lotharios and the Pompadours of your brown-stone palaces into a van of popular indignation, and drive them out of respectable associations. What prospect of social purification can there be as long as at summer watering places it is usual to see a young woman of excellent rearing stand and simper and giggle and roll up her eyes sideways before one of those first-class satyrs of fashionable life, and on the ball-room floor join him In the danc.3, the maternal chaperon meanwhile beaming from the window on the scene? Matches are made in heaven, they say. Not such matches; for the brimstone indicates the opposite region. The evil is overshadowing all our cities. By some these immoralities are called peccadilloes, gallantries, eccentricities and are relegated to the realms of jocularity, and few efforts are being made against them. God bless the "White Cross" movement, as it is called— an organization making a mighty assault on this evil! God forward the tracts on this subject distributed by the religious tract societies of the land! God help parents In the great work they are doing, in trying to Btart their children with pure principles! But is this all? Then it is only a question of time when the last vestige of purity and home will vanish out of sight. Human arms, human pens, hunaa^ oice^-human talents are not sufficient. I begin to look up. I listen for artillery rumbling down the sapr phire boulevards of heaven. I watch to see if in the morning light there be not the flash of descending scimitars. Oh, for God! Does it not seem time for his appearance? Is it not time for all lands to cry out: "Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered?" Not only are the affairs of this world so artwiBt, a-jangle and racked, that there seems a need of the Divine appearance, but there is another reason. Have you not noticed that in the history of this planet God turns a leaf about every two thousand years? God turned a leaf, and this world was fitted for human residence. About two thousand more years passed along and God turned another leaf, and it was the Deluge. About two thousand more years passed on, and it was the Nativity. Almost two thousand more years have passed, and he will pro&aDly soon turn another leaf. What it shall be I cannot say. It may be the demolition of all these monstrosities of turpitude, -and the establishment ttf right , eousness in all the earth. He can do it, and he will do it. I am as confident as if it were already accomplished. How easily he can do It, my text suggests. It does not ask God to hurl a great thunderbolt of his power, but just to rise from the throne on which he sits. Only that will be necessary. "Let God arise!" It will be no exertion of omnipotence. It will be no bending or bracing for a mighty lift. It will be no sending down the sky of the white horse cavalry of heaven or rumbling war chariots. He will only riae. Now he is sitting In the majesty and patience of his reign. He is from his throne watching the mustering of all the forces of blasphemy and drunkenness and Impurity and fraud and Sabbath- breaking, and when they have done their worst, and are most surely organized, be will bestir himself and say: "My enemies have denied me long enough, and their cup of iniquity Is full. I have given them all opportunity for repentance. This dispensation of patience is ended, and the faith of the good shall be tried no longer." And now God begins to rise, and what mountains give way under his right foot I know not; but, standing !n the full radiance and grandeur of his nature, he looks this way and that, and how his enemies are scattered! Blasphemers, white and dumb, reel down to their doom; and those who have trafficked in that which destroys the bodies and souls of men and families will fly with cut foot on the down grade of broken decanters; and the polluters of society, that did their bad work with large fortunes kud high social sphere, will overtake IM their descent the degraded rabble of underground city life, as they tumble over the eternal precipices; and the world shall be left clear and clean for the friends of humanity and the worshipers of Almighty God. The last thorn plucked off, the world will be left a blooming rose on the bosom of that Christ who came to gardenize It. The earth that stood snarling with its tigerish passion, thrusting out its raging claws, shall lie down a lamb at the feet of the Lamb of God, who took away the sins of the world.

The handlo turned; aa the door slowly opened a man who had been sitting by the fire rjse to hie feet. It waa not the woman he had expected, but, oddly enough, the very Individual on whose personality his mind had been dwelling. "I was thinking of you," was hU opening remark, as he bent to kiss her hand. The hand was withdrawn. Under the circumstances the act was not surprising. It motioned him to a seat. He sat down, negligently crossing his left with his right leg. "Thinking of me—and expecting my sister," she replied, archly. "Th« very essence of combination," he replied, politely. "So you are going to be married?" She started abruptly. "At last," he replied, Incautiously. She raised her eyebrows and laughed. "The experiment might have been tested before had you elected." The inference in her speech made her color. "The natural attitude of a woman Is unconscious exaggeration." He attempted an evasion. "You know I have not exaggerated," said she, quite firmly. "If it were possible, I wish you had." His voice was low. "Who Is to blame?" She turned away. It was almost a whisper. "God knows I thought you had married." "There was no occasion to think. If God knew, St. James' would have known." "It was reported in St. James' you had married abroad." "You believed?" she asked, scorn- -fuUy. .. The man bowed an assent. "How conceited some men are," the woman exclaimed. "That is wofully true, dear lady," said he, quite pleasantly. "Waa it from pique or love?" demanded she, quickly. "I sincerely hoped It was not from love," observed the man. She made a gesture of intense resentment. "How can you say such things to me?" "To whom else should I say them?" The turn of affairs was becoming complex. "You are to marry my slater?" "That Is also quite true." "You jilted me " "Which is not true at all." "You know that you did." "You should know that I did not." She turned her back to look out of the window. Her toe tapped petulantly on the carpet. "Circumstances over which " "It Is an error of taste to quibble," said she. It was certainly no quibble, but he ceased to explain. "The^whole season you acted as my devoted slave " "To be your slave for a season is to be your slave for a lifetime," interrupted the man. "You evidently possess many lives," she retorted, tartly. "If I did, I would lay them at your feet," was his earnest response. "Where so many others have trodden, I really should decline." She spoke disdainfully. "If I loved you then— which I certainly did not—your con- FORGIVE ME. duct—I cannot speak of it. I went abroad, and en my return, it is my sister. You are bent on keeping in the family, but the family may not want you." "To shut my eyes with your sisteronly I prefer to keep them open—is to recall your voice, its very timbre, its every Inflection. Once, when her arms were round my neck, it was you I a&w, your face was there, your eyes sought mine, your lips—oh ,God! Now, do you understand—I lore you still." "It Is not fair to my sister," said the woman. "Is it fair to any of us?" asked the man. "Your marriage to my sister—" began the woman. •"Could It not be to her sister?" suggested the man. "Whom you Jilted," sharply said the woman, by way of parenthesis. "Forgive me," pleaded the man. "Don't! He?* you no tact at all?" "It would item I had very little." She smiled saily. "Did you really think I was married f" oresently inquired the woman. "The story wag generally accepted.** "What of this?" flashed out the woman. Her eyes were bright; her lips drawn tightly together. She held between the fingers of her hand a ecarfpln. Tr? design was simple. A small diamond glistened from the center of a coll of golden rope. It could have been symbolical of great love based on a greater hope. Through a momentary transition it became a satire, drenched with tears. "Let it be paramount," begged the man. "Paramount! You forget who I am!" cried the -woman. "For me—the beauty of the world," remarked the man, gently. "Your visit to-day—" she toyed with the pin. "I am thinking of two years ago," His voice was hard. "What a cad you are," said she, placing the pin in her dress. "I beg your pardon," said the man, humbly. She looked at him, and her eyes were tender as they lingered on the face of the man. She held the pin in her fingers again. "This bond—" commenced she, look- Ing at the pin. "Can there be a bond between us?" asked the man, eagerly. "You make me weak. It is not possible. Yet I love you. Why were not you true, too?" Her eye glistened, "But I was. I am. This marriage is no criterion," exclaimed the man. "Matrimony is customarily accepted as a criterion," said the woman, quietly. "It is nothing." The man rose to his feet. "The idiosyncrasies of nothing can be tangible enough." "What a tragedy my life will be," declared the man, bitterly. "By looking into your future you omit my past," the girl rejoined. "I believe some lives re-enact the ITeeWoTWe i T a ¥ r i ^ ^ future." "What an awful comfort. It will blight your happiness." "My happiness! My happiness—" and he paused. The rustle of a gown could be heard on the staircase. It stopped at the door. > "Here comes my happiness," said he, cynically. "Be courageous," Raid the woman, as her sister entered. "There goes my happiness," said he to himself, as the former woman left the room. At the door she turned; their eyes met. The lips of the man met the lips of the woman in his arms, but his heart had already met the heart of the woman by the door. ANDERSON AT ANDOVER. An Able Attempt at Alliteration Any how. Augustus Anderson's Aunt Abbie anxiously awaited Augustus's arrival at Andover. Aunt Abbie annually asked Augustus, and Augustus always accepted, and autumn after autumn, arrived at Andover, as arranged. Augustus arrived and anxiously asked Aunt Abbie about apples. Aunt Abbie answered, "Aye, Augustus, apples are abundant." Augustus ate an apple, and Aunt Abbie asked Augustus' assistance about arranging asters. Augustus assisted Aunt Abbie about anything asked, and Aunt Abbie always appreciated Augustus' amiable acts. Aunt Abbie's asters artistically arranged, Augustus asked Aunt Abbie about afternoon amusements. Aunt Abbie allowed Augustus any agreeable amusements appropriate and attainable. Augustus ardently admired Andrew Arnold, architect, and also Andrew's adjacent antiquated abode. Augustus' absorbed attention amused Andrew. Augustus accompanied Andrew around Andover, asking about architecture, and Andrew accommodatingly answered all Augustus asked. As afternoon advanced, Augustus again arrived at Aunt Abbie's abode, and Andrew's and Augustus' appearance allayed Aunt Abbie's anxiety about Augustus' absence. Augustus* abstracted air attracted Aunt Abbie's attention, and Aunt Abbie asked about Augustus' afternoon amusement. Augustus' animated account amused Aunt Abbie, also Augustus* anxiously asking about accompanying Andrew Arnold around Andover another afternoon. Aunt Abbie amiably assented. Aunt Abbie's assistant, Ann, arranged an appetizing array. Augustus' appetite appeased, Aunt Abbie arranged Augustus* attic apartment, and Augustus agilely ascended. Aunt Abbie and Ann awoke, and Augustus, already awake and attired, appeared. . After Aunt Abbie, Augustus and Ann ate. Augustus accompanied Aunt Abbie around, admiring all Aunt Abbie's arrangements, assisting Aunt Abbie and Ann, and anxiously awaiting afternoon. Andrew Arnold, and additional adventures at dover.

Ne*leot la the Forerunner of Miseiy and Suffering'—A Grateful Husband Writes of Hia Wife's Recovery. Nearly all the ill health of wqmen is traceable to some derangement of feminine organs. Theao derangements do not cure themselves, and neglect of the sensations resulting from them is only putting off trouble. Pathetic storie3 are constantly coming to Mrs. Pinkham of women whose neglect has resulted in serious heart trouble and a whole traiu of woes. Here is the story of a woman who was helped by Mrs. Pinkham after other treatment failed: DEAB MBS. PIICKUAM:—It affords me very great pleasure to be able to state that I believe my wife owes her health to your medicine and good advice. For three years her health failed rapidly; she had heart trouble, often falling down in dizzy and fainting spells/ shortness of breath, ehoking and smothering spells, bloating of the stoxpach, a dry cough, dyspeptic symptoms, menses irregular, scanty, and of an unnatural color. She had been treated by physicians with but little benefit. She has taken your treatment according to your directions, and is better in every way. I am well pleased with the result of your treatment, and give you permission to use my letter for the benefit of others.— COCAS. II. andMra. MAY BUTCHEB, Port Meyer, Va, The healing and strengthening power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for all female ills is so well established that it needs no argument. For over twenty years it has been used by women with results that are truly wonderful. Mrs. Pinkham invites all women who are puzzled about their health to write to her at Lynn, Mass., for advice. All such correspondence is set?n by women only, and no charge is made.

The general opinion was, that the county officers should receive their salaries and no fees, Some thought the fees should be charged just the same, but should be paid into the county treas* ury. The talk was so thorough in regard to this question that the Club passed the following resolution: Resolved:—That we will not vote for any man who will not pledge hiraj self to support the terms of the Atkinson bill and also the Kimmis bill. The President appointed a number to correspond with our candidates and demand a ' direct answer, regarding this important question.

They eat enough, but keep thin and pale. They appear fairly well, but have no strength. You cannot say they are really sick, and so you call them delicate. What can be done for them ?

It jgfives color to the blood. It brings strength to the muscles. It adds power to the nerves. It means robust health and vigor. Even delicate infants rapidly gain in flesh if given a small amount three or four times each day, 50c. ami %tMt>\ til dnifgittt. SCOTT&JIOWNE, Chtrnkt*, N«w York.

Connor, of Cincinnati. The President addressed the commission which held its first meeting at the White House. In outlining their labors he said that its was his desire that the entire military organization should, if it appeared necessary, be made the subject of inquiry, saying that he wished the committee to go to the bottom of the subject in all cases and proceed with its work without fear or favor.

Nominated for Governor of New Vork on the Vlrat Ballot. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, of the famous Rough liideja, was nominated 'for governor of New York by the Republican state convention, notwithstanding the' strong tight put up by (iov. Ulack for'( renomlnation. The wildest enthusiasm prevailed whenever the colonel of tjhe Rpugh Riders was mentioned, And at the close of Chauncey M. Depew's nominating speed} the applause .was almost a pandemonium. Col. Roosevelt was chosen on the first ballot. The vote was: Roosevelt, 7.r>3; Black, 218. The nomination was then made unanimous. ,y • *y/9 *% > J ' Small Majority for Prolilbltlpji ia Canada. Reports from all parts of the Dominion of Canada indicate that the vote for and against pri>Ufeb№Qfiu has been larger than was expected. The heaviest vote against prohibition was cast * in the province of Quebec. Here the JFreneh clergy had counseled their people to vote against prohibition. The province gave majority of about 35,000 against, while the provincesof Nova Scotia, New lirunswieW and Prince Edward Island combined give a majority of 35,000! in favor of doing away with the liquor traffic. Every city in Ontario except Brant ford gave a majority against prohibition. But the counties largely overcome these majorities, and the result in Ontario to thai prohibition carried by a majority of about 12,000. The returns from Manitoba, the Northwest Territory and liritish Columbia are incomplete* but it fs estimated Manitoba and the territories together will give a majority of 12,000 to 15,000 in favor of prohibition, while liritish Columbia has gone the other way. At ail events, it seem* pretty clear the pleblactte has not been so decisive a# to warrant the government introducing a prohibitory law. Queen- «C Denmark Dead. Queen Louise, of Denmark, died at Copenhagen, after several months illn~ ess;~at the age of 81. Her end was peaceful. For the last 30 years of her life the queen exercised such iatfvuence on the politics of Europe that she was sometimes called "the mother-in*law of the ©oatt sent," TALBGRAPHIC BITS. The Fourth U.

T~r DR/FALCONER'S TEMPTATION,^ A SHORT STORY (Continued.) i "Just send me a few strong doses of quinine, doctor, and order me some milk and some coals, and I sail he able to get along by myaelf, as I have often done before and will often again. A few days will pull me round all right without troubling any one." "I'm afraid it may be a more serious matter this time," said the doctor, "but have your own way for the present. I'll see that you have some milk, and if I have a spare rug or blanket I'll send it a swell to throw over you. Now, good-by, and see that you keep yourself as warm and comfortable as yqu can under thy difficult circumstances you have r.hosen for yourself." "I oughtn't to have listened to him/' he went on to himself as he walked home through the driving snow, which had been falling thickly for Borne time; "but there's that old Ulundi rug of mine he can have tonight. It looks &% if he wouid need it badly." The ensuing night proved keen' and frosty and Falconer's thoughts reverted more than once to the miserable shelter in which he had left his patient and the still more miserable shakedown on which the fever-stricken wretch was lying. At a comparatively early hour the next morning he was again at the door, waiting in seme impatience until it was again unchained and unlocked, and revealed the solitary Inmate shivering and moaning in agonies of neuralgia. "So this i3 the result of leaving you to your own devices!'* he exclaimed as he strode in; "but come, there is no time to be lost now. Get on your clothes^,and anything you want to take with you, and I will have a fly at the door in five minutes. But sit down first and let me give you a hypodermi c dose of morphia to quiet your pain. Is there any water in the house?" "You oan get it at the tap, and here is a cup«. But I tell you plainly, I'm not gofng out of this house. Do anything you can for me without removing me, ard I will thank you and repay you when I can. I do thank you a hundred times for the rug you sent me last night. But go to infirmary or hospital I will not; understand that clearly. "Well, well!" said the doctor, wishand amazement such as he had never felt before, he was conscious of shuddering so violently that his teeth chattered, and the gold dropped again and again from his fingers. "For shame, Richard Falconer!" he heard himself saying aloud, "is this your contempt for filthy lucre, your boasted indifference to gold? Get up at once, put back that money and see to your patient as you ought! What is all thia to you?" With a great effort he pulled himself togather and began methodically to gather up the coins and put them back into the pouch. Most of them were English sovereigns, but some were Eastern coins, at whose value he could only guess. He estimated, however, that the contents of the first bag must be worth at least two hundred pounds; a second and a third were opened with a similar result; but the last three contained not ^oins, but jewels, mostly un- { set and many uncut; rubies, emeralds and diamonds, some of them of great size and evidently of enormous value. He was still engaged in counting and examining these last, oblivious of the of time^wben he was startled by ing to humor him for the moment; "lte down there and get under the rug then. Hold out your arm. There, you'll feel better in a minute. A deal better," he muttered to himself as he drove home a full dose; "it will be easier to get him away so. Now lie still and keep yourself warm for half an hour. I have another case to see in the next street, and I will be back here in that time." So saying, he walked quickly to the door, from which he withdrew the key and put it in his pocket. It was several minutes" walk to the nearest cab stand and nearly half an hour had elapsed before he was again at the door with &. four-wheeler. To his chagrin he found it fastened by the chain, but with a powerful push of his ehoulder he buret it open and entered. His patient was lying on the floor of the front room on his face, having apparently succumbed to the Influence of the morphia as he was returning from putting the chain on the door. "What a monomaniac!" exclaimed the doctor as he stooped to lift him. "Hallo! What have we here? those tumors again?" In a moment he had laid the insensible figure on the bed and was hastily undoing his clothing. Under the man's shirt, and next his skin, was fastened a broad canvas belt, furnished with six large leathern pouches w4dely distending and bulging prominently. "Ha! this explains the mystery! Vacuue cantabit indeed! What a weight! These are malignant tumors with a vengeance! Come, my friend, let go" —this to the patient, who was feebly and half unconsciously clutching at the belt as he withdrew it—"I must make a thorough examination of these tumors, since I have discovered them at last." Placing the belt on the floor—for there was no table in the room—he unloosed the strap of one of the pouches with fingers that trembled with excitexnent. A yellow gleam caught his eye, and for a moment his hands shook BO riolently and uncontrollably that a small avalanche of gold colna rolled out upon tne bare boards with a jingling crash, and spread over the floor. His head swam, flashM of fire seemed to dance before his eyes, a thunderous reverberation filled his ears, and before he was able to control his own move- Bents he was down on his knees wildly clutching at the coins with both hand«, tfcrttstlng them into his pockets as Cant • i he could gather th«m up. R«oovwith a ttnte of hearing the outer door And footsteps cross the floor towards the door of the inner room. Almost before he was conscious of moving he found himself at the door and in the act of turning the key in the lock. "Good Heavens!" he muttered, "I must be under the spoil of the gold-fiend myself. This will' never do!" Nevertheless he opened the door only wide enough to let himself through, and at once closed and locked it behind him. Then he found himself face to face with the driver of the cab which he had left at the door. "Beg your pardon, sir!" >?aid the man. touching his hat; "I thought you had forgotten me. Is there anything you want carried out to the cab?" "I'm afraid I did forget you," said the doctor. "The fact is, I have seen reason to change my mind about removing the patient. You need not wait any longer. Here is a shilling for the time you have lost. "Not quite a case for the Union Infirmary," he said to himself after the cab had departed. "I must get a nurse for him and order He will-be able to pay for them," he added with a laugh. "And now I think of it, I had better take charge of his money myself." So saying, he returned the jewels to their respective pouches, fastened them securely, and again locking the door, took off his coat and waistcoat and buckled the heavy belt around his own waist. Its weight surprised him, but when he had adjusted it In its place and rearranged his clothes over it, he was astonished to find how easily it fitted and how little external evidence there was of its presence. Then he kneeled down beside his patient and examined him minutely. The man lay in a death-like stupor, with eyes half open, and the doctor, raising the lids successively with his thumb, noted with keen professional glance that the pupils were contracted to less than half their natural size. "Good heavens!" was his first thought; "can I have given him an overdose?" The next ten minutes were spent in efforts to awake and arouse the sleeping man. He shouted in his ears, dipped the corner of his handkerchief in water and slapped his face, raised him to his feet only to find his legs collapse helplessly under him. Then he put hie hand to the hip-poeket in which he carried his hypodermi c case. The? bulky pouches of the belt delayed him for a moment, but it was enough to change the current of his thoughts. The thought of the wealth now within his grasp rushed over him like an irresistible flood, sweeping everything before it. "Don't be a Quixotic fool. Richard Falconer! You have done all you can for him; let him so now, and take the good tliat has fallen into your hands. Here l«s what will pay all your debts, solve all your difficulties, launch you on a new and full career, brighten your wife's lot, and give your boy a proper chance in the world. Think how much more good it will do in your hands than in those of this useless miser. Now you will have someehance of pursuing your scientific studies to advantage and doing some service to humanity in your day. Just leave the case to nature. Go back to your house. make your evening; visit in due course, find him dead, and certify the real cause—malarial fever. And if there be an Inquest, there are the contracted liver and enlarged spleen ready to your hand as a aufflcient explanation, and, what is better, a perfectly true one.** He strode up and down the room In a fever of excitement, his lips muttering, his head whirling. How It ended he could never clearly recollect; he had a confused remembrance of rushing from the house, of passing through the streets, even of stopping to speak with some acquaintances. He found afterwards that he had made more than one parish visit, through which habit and the automatic force of perfect training had carried him without any blunder. After a time he seemed to himself to wake as if from a dream. His wife's voice, sounding at first as If coming from a great distance, recalled him to himself. "Richard, Richard, what ia the matter? What has happened to you?" He was seated in his own chair in his consulting-room, his wife kneeling on the floor holding his hands. "Oh, you. are ill, you ate nothing at breakfast thia morning—I saw you, though you thought I didn't notice. Oh, Richard, you musn't go on like that; if you were to break down what would become of us? Sit still now, till I see if there be any wine left in the decanter, and then you must have something to eat." "Stop, Mary," said he, as she rose to leave the room. "I am better now. It must have been one of my old megrims, for I have no recollection of coming in. The fact is, I have only returned from seeing a rather curious case, and the poor fellow appeared to be in desperate misery and want. He is in an empty house by himself, has neither chair nor bed, nor apparently a scrap of food to eat. And I. can't induce him to go to the infirmary. He ifl a discharged soldier, and appears to have been a gentleman once, and ho seems to be as proud as Lucifer " (To b« Continued.)' PRACTICAL KINDNESS , TITLES CHEAP FOR GASH. If Ten Want to Be a Prince Hay tb« Honor in Italy. Throughout Europe Italian titles of nobility do not enjoy a very high reputation; so much so that, as a general rule, a mere Australian baron is more highly considered than au Italian marquis, says the London Mail. One explanation of this fact is that many 'of these Italian nobles with high-sounding handles to their names are not in a very enviable financial situation. Many astounding instances may be cited of Italian dukes and counts who occupy the strangest positions abroad. Some are coachmen, others hotel porters, one is an interpreter in a railway station, another is butler in the family of an American millionaire. In New York there is a well known Italian count who has run an elevator for several years past. In southern Italy, where poverty is greater than in other portions of the peninsula, the great noble families are compelled to resort to the most extraordinary strategems to save appearances. In Naples poor ilies have adopted a system of mutual carriages and horses^which—f somewhat curious. Five or six families agree to pay the expenses of a luxurious establishment, generally a fourin- hand, with coachman and footman. The carriage door, with the various coats of arms of the different families, is alone changed, according to the family which uses the carriage. On great occasions these families draw lots to see which shall use the carriage and horses. But a strange fact is that now, when so many noble ' families have become impoverished, the I t a l ic government is about to increase the price of titles. In future the man who wishes to bear a prince's crown must pay $8,000 to the government; to become a duke $6,000 is sufficient; for $5,000 one may be a marquis, at*i for $4,000 a count; $2,400 is sufficient to become a baron, and $1,000 for the simple prefix "de." These figures apply only to the titles conferred by ths king. Besides these royal titles ar3 the dignities conferred by the pop«, with which several American merchants and business men have bee*i honored. These papal titles are somewhat cheaper than those conferred br the king. At the Vatican a brandnew count may be created for $2,400 , and a marquis for $3,000 . American amateurs should take note of this fact It is hardly necessary to add that the proud old Italian aristocrats look down with the greatest contempt on these parvenu noblemen, whether created by the king or"the pope. These proud Italian aristocarts of ancient lineage, such as the Colonna, the Borghese, the Orsini of Rome, the Strozri of Florence, and the viscomte of Milan, consider themselves vastly superior to the caost ancient nobles of France antl Great Britain and the equals of mo»t royal families. Some of the old Roman nobles even claim direct descent from the days of ancient Rome. Awkward. "Dey means well," said the newir enlisted colored soldier. "I hasn't no complaint ter make 'bout deir intentions." "Who is yer troublin* 'bout?" "De brass band leaders. When de white troops goes out dey plays white folk's chunes, like 'Farewell, My Own True Love,' an' 'Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still.' bat when us troops goes out dey plays "Al Coons Look Alike to Me,' an' 'I Don't Care If You Never Oomee Bark,' and sech like."— Washington Star. HolUl«sr». These war lunet* have triad men'* •oul g in many unexpected ways, but like a shaft of sunshine and goqd cheer out of the cloud of privation and endurance has been the work that The American Tobacco Co. has done among the U. 8. Soldiers and Sailors ever since the war began—for when they discovered that the camps and hospitals were not supplied with tobacco they decided •> to provide them, free of cost, with enough for every man, and have already given outright to our Soldiers and Sailors over one hundred thousand pounds of "Battle Ax Plug" and "Duke's Mixture" Smoking Tobacco, and have bought and distributed fifty thounaud briar wood pipes, at a total cost of between fifty and sixty thousand dollars. This work baa been done quietly and thoroughly, by establishing headquarters in each camp, so that every camp and every hospital of the United States Army has been supplied with enough , tobacco for every man and the sailor* on thirty United States Ships in Cuban -waters have shared with the soldiers) •hi s most welcome of all "rations." Perhaps it will be only fair to rs-*1 member when we hear the remark again that "corporations have no souls." that there is one American cor* poration whose soul has been tried and has not been found wanting in "practical kindness." Marriage makes one of two, but it doesn't seem to decrease the population. Self-estee m is about all the satisfaction some men get out of life. Tours ia Rocky Mountain*.

The Howell Free Street Fair that has been so extensively advertised has came and is now one of the past great events of tbe county seat. Tbe floral parade was one of the grandest sights this part of Michigan ever witnessed and it was impossible to tell which carriage was tbe most beautiful. Howell did herself noble in entertaining her guests and tbe only dark cloud on the wbole proceedings was the large number of gambling institutions which were licensed to do business iaside the city limits. Tbe fakirs' carried more money out of town than all the merchants realized from all tbeir sales, They have been the curse of our county fairs and it will also be the curse of a village or city that allows them in their borders during a street fair.

A startling incident ot which Mr «Uha Oliver Qf Philadelphia was tbe •abject is narraied by him as follows.

TtoHtt phjfiiriim livd given me up Fort«a*tt>iy, a friend advised my try mg 4ffidctric Bitters1 and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made -* decided improvement.

Hnntley, a former Howell boy, who went to bad and i& now serving a twenty years' sentence, ten for burglary and ten for an attempt to kill his keeper at Jackson prison a few years ago. On Tnesday of last week, be made another attempt to kill his Keeper, who was tbe guard who shot him at Jackson. Huntley and tbe guard bad both been transfered to the idarquette prison; for some time* past, Huntley had been a model of good behaviour, but his terrible acts reveal that he was only watching an opportunity lor revenge upon bia keeper, the chance came as he arose from the table, and stabbed him in tbe abdomen and back before aid couH be rendered. The prisoners were in a sullen and refractory mood and refused to go to tbeir cells at the warden's order; the order was given tbe guard to fire. Tbey aimed at Ed. Huntley, who made a leap for his cell but tbe bullet took away one of his Felts Well. It is better to keep well than to get well, although when one is sick it is desirable to get well, When we consider that eigbt-tent'i *» of the ailments that afflict the American people are caused by constipation, we shall realize why it is that Baxter's Maadrake Bitters "keeps folks "well" or if sick enables them to get well.

In following, issues she will show the others. Every day in the year the papers could poet people to beware of the "fakirs" who come along at regular intervals, and yet there would be many to doubt the assereion of the editor. The sign was right Tuesday night, for a couple of amatuers dropped in here and caught a nice string of " suckers." They worked the old envelope game and a number of citizens paid from 50c. to $3.00 for a little box of saw dust or an empty envelope. Another will come along.

Lillian Russell is playing to crowded houses in Berlin and the prospects are good for a German husband. A German delegate in the next international convention of Lillian's ex-husbands would give variety ty the proceedings. A reaction against political bosstatn is setting in. The system which began in the croytded wards of the big cities has grown and fructified in every •stratum of American politics. The people are disgusted with bossism. They are making ready to pull it out by the roots and cauterize the wound. They will begin in tbe ward precinct and finish in the white house. It i« reported everywhere that Cuban flags are a drug on the market, and dealers who have loaded up with them count them a dead loss. This is in itself a matter of small moment, for there is BO special reason why American* should buy Cuban flags, but it ie not time to forget Cuba yet, as most people teem In danger of doing. Tbe most serious part of the problem which we so light-heartedly took up le yet to come. formation photographed, and for w h i t reason? Did not this passage *^«> in by mistake into the nacred , Scriptures, as sometimes a paragraph * utterly obnoxious to tht editor gets iato his newspaper during his absence? Is not this Scriptural errata? No, no; there la nothing haphazard about the Bible. This passage of Scripture wa* as certainly intended to be put into the Bible as the verse. "In th« - jmnfos God created the heavens and the earth," or, "God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son." . And I select it for my text tedar because it is charged with practical and tremendous meaning. By tbe people of God the Philistines had been conquered, with the exception of a few giants. The raoe of giants is mostly extinct, I am glad to say. There is no use for giants nqw except to enlarge the Income of museum**. But there were many of them in olden times. Goliath was, according to the Blblle, 11 feet 4Mi inches high. Or, if you doubt this, the famous Pliny declares that at Crete, by an earthquake, a monument was broken open, discovering tbe remains of a giant 46 cubits long, or 69 feet high. So, whether you take sacred or profane history, you must come to the conclusion that there .were in"those times cases 4>t human altitude mon^ Btrous and appalling. David had smashed the skull of one of these giants, but there were other giants that the Davidean wars had not yet subdued, and one of them stands in my text. He was not only of Alpine stature, but had a surplus of digits. To the ordinary fingers was annexed an additional finger, and the foot had also a superfluous addendum. He had^ twenty-four terminations to hands and feet, where others have twenty. It was not the only instance of the kind. Tavernier, the learned writer, says that the emperor of Java had a eon endowed with the same number of extremities. Volcatius, the poet, had eix fingers oa each hand. Maupertuis, In his celebrated letters, speaks of two families near Berlin similarly equipped of hand and foot. All of which I caji believe, for I have seen two canes of'the same physical superabundance. But this giant of tbe text is in battle, and as David, the stripling warrior, has dispatched one giant, the nephew of David slays this mons-ter of my text, and there he lies after the battle in Gath, a dead giant. His stature did not save him, and hit t Sir Hygh Nelson, premier of Queensland; Sir George H. Reid, premier of New Sooth Wales, and Sir George H. Turner, premier of Victoria, recently met in conference and discussed plans for a Pacific cable. They decided to make the definite offer that if Great Britain and Canada collectively would guarantee flye-ninths of the cost of laying the new cable they would recommend tbeir respective legislatures to contribute one-ninth each, asking New Zealand to contribute the remaining one-ninth. While the really brave and true women of the country have been working and suffering lor the boys in blue, cheering them through every ill that befell and trying to make their life and their burdens as easy a* possible, other ladies, of a more hysterical and selfish turn of mind, hare done their best to make the soldiers aware of every ill the camp life bore for them, and have even tried to stir up mutiny and desertion. It is a very good thing that ladies of this temperament are decidedly outnumbered by the good sensible women, who not only know how to meet suffering bravely themselves, but can teach and help others to bear it with the same fortitude. "I'm a bolder man than you.sir," said an English, laborer to hie master, cot long ago. "I durst spend Bay last far' den, and you dursen't." The laborer never looked forward at ail. On tbe contrary, thrtftloess is often taught tbe classes by the masses. A little German girl who sells violets in the streets of a western city was questioned the other day by her teacher, who learned that she sold about twenty five-cent bunches each school day .with store on Saturdays and holidays, and that ifce raised the violets herself. "Tom a n * fee a great heip to your father," was the comment "Oh," was the quick reply, "I do not need to de it. Father earns enough, tor us all, but I am data* this to go to ooilege. I hare three hundred dollars in the bank already.** The • teacher, a Harvard fradnate, realising that the child could a tecftr check than thottfhtfttL about ms much noise as the fall of an anpi«»bk)*»om. Clear back In the country today there are mothers In plain apron, and shoes fashioned on a rough last by a shoemaker at the end of the lane, rocking babies that are to be the Martin Luthersand the Faraday* and U» EVflsons and the Bltmarcks and the Gladstones and the Washington* at id the George Whlteflelda of the future. The longer I live the more I like common folks. They do the world's work,, bearing the worid'B burdens, weeping the world's sympathies, carrying the world's consolation. Among lawyers we see rise up a Rufus Choate, or a William Wirt, or a Samuel L. I3outhard, but society would go to pleuea tomorrow if there were not thousands of common lawyers to see that men and women get their rights. A Valentine Mott or a Willard barker rises up eminent in the medical profession; but what an unlimited sweep would pneumonia and diphtheria and scarlet fever have in the world t t t t were not for ten thousand common doctors! The old physician In his gig, driving up the lane of the farm-house, or riding on horseback, his medicines in the saddlebags, arriving on the ninth day of the fever, and coming in to take hold of the pulse of the patient, while the family, pale with anxiety, and looking on and waiting for his decision in regard to the patient, and hearing him Bay, "Thank God, I have mastered the case; he is getting well!" excites In me an admiration quite equal to the mention of the names of the great metropolitan doctors of the past or the Illustrious living men of the present. Yet what do we_see In all £eeartments? People not satisfied with ortjiof work and ordlnary-dtlhand and foot did not save him. The probability was that in the battle his sixth finger on Ws hand made him clumsy in the use of bis weapon, and hie sixth toe crippled his gait. Behold the prostrate and malformed giant of the text: "A man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was the son of a giant. But when he defied Israel, Jonathan, the son of Sh-imea, David's brother, slew him." Behold how superfluities are a hindrance rather than a help! In all the battle at Gath that day there was not a man with ordinary hand and ordinary foot and ordinary stature that was not better off than this physical curiosity of my text. A dwarf on the right side is stronger than a giant on the wrong side, and all the body and mind and estate and opportunity that you cannot use for God and the betterment of the world is a sixth finger and a sixth toe, and a terrible hindrance. The most of tbe good done in the world, and the most of those who win the battles for the right, are ordinary people. Count the fingers of their right hand, and they have Just five—no more and no less. -One Doctor Duff among missionaries, but three thousand missionaries that would tell you tl«fty.have o n J y common endowment. One Florence Nightingale to nurse the sick In conspicuous places, but ten thoueaud women who are Just as good nuxBen, though never heard of. The "Swamp Angel" was a big gun that during the civil war made a big noise, but ntuekets of ordinary caliber and shells of ordinary heft did the execution. President Tyler and his cabinet, go down the Po&mae one day to experiment with the "Peacemaker," a great iron gun that was to affright with its thmnder foreign navies. The gunner touches it oft and it explodes/ an& leaves cabinet ministers dead «n tke deck, while at that time, all up and down our coast*, were cannon of ordinary bore, fifcle to be tbe defense of the" nation, and fready at tbe first touch ip:i waken todatj. The-oaise of the WOTR 4s big guns. After the politicians, who have made all the noise, go home hoarse from angry dmooMlon «a Uam evening of the first Monday in November, the next day the people, with the silent ballots, will settle everything, and settle it right a million of the frhlt* slips of paper tbey dr*» making ties. Instead of trying to see what they can do with a hand of five fingers, they want six. Instead of usual endowment of twenty manual and pedal addenda, they want twenty-four. A certain amount of money for livelihood, and for the supply of those whom we leave behind us after we have departed this life, is important, for we have the best authority for saying, "He that provideth not for his own, and especially those of his own household, U\ worse than an infidel; "but the large and fabulous sums for which many struggle, if obtained, would be a hindrance rather than an advantage. The anxieties and annoyances of those whose estates have become plethoric can only be told by those who possess them. It will be a good thing when, through your industry ar;d prosperity, you can own the house in which you live. But suppose you own fifty houses, and you have aJl those rents to collect, and all thoee tenants to please. Suppose you have branched out in business successes until in almost every direction you have investments. The fire bell rings at night, you rush upt>talia to look out. o window, to see if it is any of your mills. Epidemic of crime comes, and there are embezzlements and pibscond- Ing in all directions, and you wonder whether any of your bookkeepers will prove recreant. A panic strikes the financial world, and you are a hen under a sky full of hawks, ami trying with anxious cluck to get your overgrown chickens safely under wing. After a certain stage of success has been reached, you have to trust to many Important things to others thai, you are apt to become the prey of others, and you are swindled and defrauiled, and the anxiety you had on yo'ir brow when yon were earning your fl:"st thousand dollars is not equal to tht anxiety on your brow now that you hive won your three hundred thousand. I am glad for the, benevoltat institutions that get a legacy from nen who during their life were as sMngy as death, but who in their last will and testament bestowed money on hospitals and missionary societies; but for such testators I have no respect. They would have taken every cent of it with them if they could, and bought up half of heaven and let it out at ruinous rent, or loaned the money to celestial citizens at two per cent a month, and got a "corner" on harps and trumpets. They lived in this world fifty or sixty years in the presence of appalling Buffering and want, and made no efforts for their relief. The charities of such people are in the "Paulo-post future" tense; they are going to do them. The probability is that if such a one in his last will bf, a donation to benevolent societies triea to atone for his lifetime close»-fi8tednes8, the heirs-at-law will tHjy to break the will by proving that Ae old man was senile or crazy, and the expense of the litigation will about leave in the lawyer's hands what was meant for the Bible Society. 0 ye over-weighted, successful business men, whether this sermon reach your ear or your eyes, let me say that If you are prostrated with anxieties about keeping or investing these tremendous fortune*, I can tell how you can do jnbre to get your health back and your spirits raised than by drinking gal lone of bad-t*s*«ng water at Saratoga, Hamburg or Carlsbad: Give to God, humanity, and the Bible ten per cent of all your income, and It will make 4 new man of you, and from restless walking of tbe floor i t night you abail have efeht faouM' sleep, without tht hat* 0* bromide of potassium, and from no sppetlte. you.will hardly, be able to watt for your regular meals, and* your Wan cheek will fill up, and when you die the blessings of those who but for you would have p«rlshed will bloom all over your grave. Perhaps some of you will take thlB advice, but the motit of you will not. And you will try to cure your swollen hand by getting on it more fingers, and your rheumatic foot by getting on it more toes, and there will be a sigh of relief when you are gone out of the world; and when over your remains the minister recites the words: "Blessed are the dead who die in tbe Lord," persons who have keen appreciation of the ludicrous will hardly be able to keep their faces straight. But whether in that direction my words do good or not, I am anxious that all who have only ordinary equipment be thankful for what they have and rightly employ it. I think you all have, figuratively as well as literally, fingers enough. Do not long for hindering superfluities. Standing in the presence of this fallen giant of my text, and in this poet-mortem examination of him, let us learn how much 'better off we are with just the usual hand, the usual foot. You have thanked God for a thousand things, but. I warrant you never thanked him for tttbcw two implements of work and locomotion, that no one but the Infinite and Omnipotent God could have ever planned or made— the hand and the foot OnlJ that soldier or that mechanic who m a battle, or through machinery, has lost them knows aaythteg adequately »b©MVtSiair value, and only the ChrisUan tojttifcjtlst can have any appreciation of wtajb dH vine masterpieces they are, • ** •„ •. * Thfr mmssjjffpprrmmffttttiiootttt ooff—t hthiiss ;; ffaatttteenn giant's foot glorifies the ordinary toot, for which I fear you have never once thanked God. The twenty-six bones of the foot are the admiration of the anatomist. The arch of the foot fashioned with a grace and a poise that Trajan's arch, or Constantine's arch, or any other arch could not equal. Those arches siand where they were planted, but this arch of the foot is an adjustable arch, a yielding arch, a flying arch, and ready for movements innumerable. The human foot so fashioned as to enable a man to stand upright as no other creature, and leave the hand, that would otherwise have to help in balancing the body, free for anything it chooses. The foot of the camel fashioned for the sand, the foot of the bird fashioned for the tree-branch, the foot of the hind fashioned for the slippery rock, the foot of the lion fashioned to rend its prey, the foot of the horse fashioned for the solid earth, but the foot of man made to crosfl the desert, or climb the tree, or scale the cliff, or walk the earth, or go anywhere he needs to go. - With that divine triumph of anatomy in your possession where do you walk? In what path of righteousness or what path of sin have you set it down? Where have you left the mark of your footsteps? Amid the petrifactions in the rocks have been found the marks of tbe feet of birds and beasts of thousands of years ago. And God can trace out all the footsteps of your lifetime, and those you made fifty years ago are as plain as those made in the last soft weather, all at them petrified for the Judgment Day. That there might be no doubt about the fact that both these pieces of Divine mechanism, hand and foot, belong to Christ's service, both hands of Christ and both feet of Christ were spiked on the cross. Right through the arch of both his feet to the hollow of his instep went the iron of torture, and from the palm of his hand to the back of it, and there is not a muscle or nerve or bone among the twenty' seven bones of hand and wrist, or among the twenty-six bones of the foot, but it belongs to him now and forever. That is the most beautiful foot that goes about paths'of greatest usefulness, and that the most beatuiful hand that does the most help to others. I was reading of three women in rivalry about the appearance of the hand. And the one reddened her hand with berries, and said the beautiful tinge made hers the most beautiful, tjxi another put her hand in the mountain 'brook, and said, as the waters dfSfcpet off, that her hand was the mo**r beautiful. And another plucked flowers' off the bank, and under the bloom contended that her hand was the most attractive. Then a poor old woman appeared, and looking up in her decrepitude .'tsked for alms. And -a woman who had not taken part in the rivalry gave her alms. And all the women resolved to leave to this beggar the quectiotr as to which 9^all the hands present was the most attrfcctfve, and she said: "The most beautiful of them all is the one that g>ve felief to my necessities,** and as she s* said her wrinkles and rags and her decrepitude and her body disappeared, and in place thereof stood the Christ, who long ago said: ."inasmuch as ye did it to one of the least of these, ye did it unto me!" and who to purchase the service of our hand and foot here on earth had his own hand and foot lacerated. They have no isms m heaven, TELL PROM A SCAFFOLD. From th* Herald, WaUrtown, N. T. John Young, of LeRoy, N. Y.t ls 72 yean old, and Is well known in that and neighboring towns.

While the emperor was Bub&ervient and a mere figurehead, the dowager em press* permitted Vamtojre^ main in peace, but au soon a* he at* tempted to act on1 his own initiative hi» practical deposition follows* The effect of the change will be great. Li Hung Chang will be reinstated in power and Russian influence wFU inereaae. The new order of things will undoubtedly prejudice British interests- throughout China and will prevent the proposed alliance between China and Japan. Wei-Hai-Wei: The British battleship Centurion, flagship of Vice-Admiral Sir Edward H. Seymour, the commander of the British fleet in Chinese waters, sailed suddenly under sealed orders, accompanied, from Che Foo, by tbe battleship Victorious, the cruisers Narcissus and Hermione, the torpedo destroyer* Fame and Hart, and the dispatch boat Alacrity. It is supposed that the desination is Ta-Ku, at the entrance of the river leading to Tien- Tsin, the port of Pekin, for the purpose of making a naval demonstration there. MANY I^MALE ILLS HESULT FEOM NEGLECT. Mr*. Ptokhsua Telia Bow Ordinary Tasks May Produce Displacement* tt Threaten Women's Health, Spain Will Bluff to the b i t . Dulce^AimoddvaiFde Rio, the Spanish minister of foreign affairs, states that the Spanish peace commissioners have been* instructed to contend strongly for the integrity, of Spanish sovereignty in the Philippines, on the ground that the protocol between Spain and the United States was signed before Manila had capitulated, and also to make a firm stand regarding the Cuban debt and the Philippine loan of 1896, if Luzon is ceded to America. At Washington this official statement is regarded as a scheme to draw out the American commissioners' position on the Philippine question; and also as aa invitation to some European* power to inter/ere if the United States attempts to retain more than the island of Luzon. While the instructions of the American commissioners have not been made public it may be stated that such of the Philippines as are not held by the United States shall be so governed or disposed of that the insurgents shall not be placed at the mercy of the Spanish government,, nor shall they turned over to any power that might oppressively treat the Datives.

The Honored M M for Whom th« Child la Ohrtoteaed May Frov« » Failure, "fiy Gears*," said a man who has a position In one of the Cleveland banks, "a fellow who will name his child after any one else it a fool, that's all." Then he looked Bad and drummed on the counter for, a moment, eays the Ceveland Leader after which he continued: "There is no telling how any person ig going to turn out. The man who is looked upon aa a hero today may do something tomorrow that will make him a public laughing stock or worse, The only heroei who may be safely tied to are the dead ones and we are even likely to find out things about some of them that will tarnish their glory. You'll not catch me naming a child In honor of Dewey or Sampson or Sehley or Shafter or Hobaon or any of the rett of them. I've had one experience in that line which is going to last me as long as I live." He again lapsed into silence and deep lines formed on his brow. "You see," he went on, after swallowing several times, "I'm a Harvard man. I was a member of the class of '90. While I was in college I greatly admired one of the professors there. In fact, I thought he was about the greatest man that ever lived, perhaps barring George Washington. Well, I got married shortly after I came home, and, four years ago, my little.%;boy was born. Isn't he a bright irate fellow?" he broke off, turning to one of his fellowclerks. "He's as fine a boy as I've ever seen," was the reply. "That's just what _he_lsi The world would be a mighty dreary place for me, if I didn't have him to work and hope for. But," he concluded, with a sigh, "I'm afraid I've given him a poor start. You see, I insisted on naming him Charles Eliot Norton Blank, and t the 'worst of it is he's been christened that way. What a fool a man is to handicap his children with his own enthusiasm!" There bas been left with me for sale the following property: One five year old gelding, weight about 1200 pounds, color bark sorrell, sound, kind and all right; one second hand single harness and top carriage both in good shape; one Winchester 32 calibre repeating rifle nearly as good as new, The above named property will be sold at prices to sell quickly.

DIAMONDS IN THE HIGHWAY. And Street Washing IJ a Popular Industry of Klmberlejt Perhaps the moot interesting fact in connection with Kimberley, the diamond city, is the "street washing," which has been a recognized industry for some time past. With the exception of two or three of the principal thoroughfares, all the streets have been subjected to the washing process, and some of the debris washers have done very well. The "washing" consists of overhauling the earth for diamonds. At nearly every meeting of the borough council applications for permission to waah streets, or no are received. The would-be washer has to obtain the consent of persons resident in the street or road, to put the latter Into sound repair again, and pay tithe to; the municipality in the shape of 10 per cent on his gross finds. Last year £960 was paid to the municipality in this way, a good proportion of which represented commission on street finds. In the early days of the diamond fields the ground was washed in a very primitive style, many diamonds being thrown away in the debris, as it is called. This debris was subsequently used for street making purpose, and now, year after year, with better machinery at their disposal, people find it pays to "wash the streets." Many houses built on "maiden" debris are removed in order to wash the latter, and stones of comparatively large size are frequently found by the energetic debris washer, who literally works from' morn to night, from sunrise to sunset.—Pearson's Weekly. 6 0 0 PEOPLE BUY THE PINCKNEY DISPATCH AND 3,000 More People BEAB IT.

Boucicault for a number of years used to dye the little fringe of hair he had, and It generally took on all the hues of the rainbow, much resembling Tittletat Titmouse's experience in coloring hair. I was standing In front of the Union Square Theater one day after rehearsal with tbe late Charles B. Thome, Jr., and Joe Polk, and we were arguing the question who should "buy" when along came Boucicault as chipper as ever. Of course, he must stop, ask all the news, and hare a chat, for he was a most entertaining man and well worth listening to. On his preparing to leave Polk said: "Mr. Boucicault, I do not wish to insult you, but I wish to congratulate you on one thing.** "Not a bit of it. me boy," said Boucjr. "What is it, Polk?" ' I see that you hate given over dyetag your hair, or what little hair you had, and you do not know bow much better it moke* you look."

Shatter — Bright Report of the 8tate Labor Commlnlnner—Long Chapter of Crimes, AvcldenU. Etc* Shafter Praliea Duffleld. *rlg.-Gen. Duttteld, who commanded fthe 33d and 34tli Michigan and Ninth Massachusetts regiments in the Santiago campaign, has the vindication of feis course in the much-talked-of battle of Aguadores in a telegram sent by Gen. Shafter to the secretary of war, in which he speaks highly of Duffleld, and practically apologues for his scanty mention of the Michigan men in bis official report. Gen. Shafter's dispatch says: "Gen. Duttield did all that he was expected to do and in a most satisfactory manner. His report received and forwarded today to Washington, with an indorsement that will show my appreciation of his services. In looking my report over, I see that the teferences to his action at Aguadores were not clearly expressed and it escaped my notice. There was no intention that he should do more than make such demonstration as would hold the enemy's troops at that place. To have attacked it with a view to its capture with the force under Gen. Duffield would have been the hight of folly." A. Terrible Crime. Pretty little 9-year-old Edith Knight was criminally assaulted near Twining by Allen McDonald, of Omer. Mrs. Mosher was caring for the Knight children during the absence of the parents. McDonald broke in the door. blew out the light and then grabbed Mrs. Mosher. She managed to break away from him and with the children ran for a neighbor's house nearby. The 9-year-old girl could not keep up and was caught and carried back of the house, where she was terribly abused by the villain. McDonald's house was surrounded and he made an attempt to escape, but was shot in the leg. The child was roughly used, but will recover. * Threats were made of lynching Mc- Donald at Twining, but the sheriff and his deputies were armed with Winchesters and landed him safely in jail. 1 Pingree Knocked Oat. The Michigan Central Railroad Co. 1* not compelled to sell 1,000-mile family ticketa for 8SOJ sit LtbJjie law of 1891. In a unanimous opinion of the supreme court, written by Justice Hooker. Gov. Pingree is defeated in his efforts to compel the Michigan Central by mandamus to issue such tickets. Briefly the court holds that the Michigan Central Co. has the right to fix its own tolls under its special charter, and that to hold the act of 1891 applicable to it would be to impair the obligation of the contract made by the state to reimburse the company for any damage which it might sustain. The court also holds that the Michigan Central Co. has not forfeited its charter by effecting consolidations with other systems. Tried to Kill Her Babes and Herself. Mrs. L. C.

Even the wild animals could uot escape the flames. A Chippewa Falls, Wis., special says: Forest fires are doing enormous damage along the Soo and Wisconsin Central railroads. Nearly every section of the pine woods in northern Wisconsin is ablaze. Barron, a small town on the Soo line, is entirely surrounded by fire.

The-attempt of the »otho»iti«a W remove the Pillager Indiana—a remnant of the old Chippewas—from their homes on the north side of Leech lake, Minnesota, ^o the Whi}e.$B,rth reservation has resulted in , serious^ bloodshed. These Indians have had many grievances against the government und finally refused obey the Indian agents and committed various offenses against the laws. The offenders were shielded when officers went to arrest them. They. KdjQd two U. S. officials and when a threat was made to send troops against them the Indians promptly donned war paint and feathers and went on the war path. . • Gen. Bacon and "100 soldiers were sent on a special train from Brainerd to Walker and after a 30 mile trip on tugs across the lake in a gale a landing was effected with considerable difficulty, at Bog-Ah-Me-Ge-Shirk's Point, close to Bear island. Several hours beating the brush failed to uncover any Indians, and the soldiers assembled for dinner when a heavy volley poured in upon them from all sides. Three troopers dropped dead. The others sprang for cover to fight the savages in Indian style. A moment later there was another volley from the Indians and that was what the troops had been waiting for. The Krag-Jorgensens opened up- with a frightful rattle, just as the Pillagers made a terrific rush. Half a dozen of them dropped and the rest foil 'back, yelling like fiends incarnate. The fire from the Pillagers then became more scattering* ancl the soldiers made a fine charge and,drove them back, though the firing continued. The steamers on which the soldiers had come, as well as those used by the newspaper correspondents, were fired on by the Indians and several persons on board were wounded. Several correspondents we^re in the thick of the fight and it is reported that they were killed. No report of the outcome of the fight has been received, but there is an unconfirmed report that Gen. Bacon and his entire force were massacred. A dispatch boat sent to the island cruised up and down near the scene of the battle for two hours, but they were unable to see a man and fear that all soldiers and officers have fallen. Reinforcements have been forwarded from St. Paul. The outlook at this hour is that the agency Indians may go on the warpath at any moment. Reports from the seene of the battle were meager, but gave the troops' loss in the first tight as folluws: Maj. Wilkinson and five other soldiers and one Indian policeman killed, and eight privates and one Indian policeman wounded. The fighting wa*s still going on. G*en. Bacon and his small band ing their great heroism.

A train with 215 of the Third infantry from Fort Snelling, under command of Lieut.-Col. Harbach, arrived in Walker and at once started for Bear island. Another special train left Brainerd with 200 soldiers. Inspector Tinker expresses the opinion that with 500 soldiers the Indians will be subdued, but thinks there will be bloodshed and may be lots of it. The inhabitants of Walker, Lothrop, Cass Lake and Hackensack, Minn., are terrified beyond measure and are armed as far as arms and ammunition are procurable.

As I was doing work which required stooping it was vevy painful, exceedingly so, if I'caught cold, which as a rule, settled in my loins. I tried various remedies but was never successful in obtaiuing any permanent benefit until I used Doan's Kidney Pills.

She ran lightly out of the room to give her orders and see them carried out, leaving Richard sitting consciencestricken In his chair, all hie subtle arguments scattered to the winds by a single word. "Took him not in!" he echoed with a bitter laujr'a. "No, Lord, I didn't take him In! I knew a trick wort^i two of fhat; so I robbed and murdered him 'netead, fiteaa, c d then swore lies about It at. the Inqueat. And the best of it was that I did it all from <he most exalted motives—to promote the greatest happiness of the greatest number, at no expense except of the life of a wretched miser of whom the world would be well rid, who was only a burden to himself and a nuisance to everybody ekw! How clear It all was! but I dare not say It to Mary, and should hate her if she could listen to it for a second." He lay back in his chair for a moment with closed eyes, a thousand oMworld dreams and half-forgotten and aspirations crowding b&ck bis memory and circling rouifd the image of his wife as he had'lirst seen and loved her. There were unaccustomed tears in his ey^S as he opened them to see her standing before him in hat and cloak. X "Come, Richard," i3he cried, "you must take jmte to the place at once. There wajs eome wine left, and I have ic in this basket. I have told Alice to make up a bed in the back room ana to"'have some hot soup ready in an 'hour. Now get your coat ou and take me to the house. We shall need a fly to bring him here; but we can order that on the way." Her bright, quick eagerness carried him along; in another minute they were passing through the streets and had hailed a crawling cab. Richard regarded his wife with a kind of dazed eurprise. All the wan depression of her face, which had weighed upon his spirits for weeks, was gone, and a bright and almost joyous energy seemed to possess her that reminded him of the Mary of brighter days. He seemed awakened from a nightmare as he looked after her, and sprang lightly down to help her as the fly drew up in the wretched street before the empty house. Already the early evening was doting in, and it looked doubly desolate and forbidding in the twilight. "Why, surely there is DO one living here!" she exclaimed; "he must indeed be in a wretched plight, poor fellow!" Richard tried the door, but found it locked. He had no recollection of his departure from the house in the morning, but on putting his hand in his pocket he found the key, which he must have, slipped into it on leaving. They entered the bare outer room, and he could hardly hear his wife's exclamation of pity and dismay, his own heart was thumping so loudly with'terror and suspense. Should they find him still alive? His hand shook as he •aid it on the handle of the inner door, took mttWd, and for a moment he recoiled as from a living thing. Nerving hlrcaelf with an effort, he pushed open the door and went In. The room was precisely as he had left It in the morn ing; "the patient lay In a profound sleep, breathing heavily, and bathed in a profuse perspiration. Richard bent over him and felt his pulse, then shook him sharply by the shoulder and called loudly on him to awake, but without rousing him in the least. Slapping his face with a wet handkerchief, raising him off the ground, produced no better effect. Taking the little bottle of wine from Mary'e ready hand, Richard forced a few drops into his mouth. They were swallowed with a convulsive gulp, but made no change in the profound unconsciousness In which the patient lay. "It's no use," he said at last. "He's too far gone to awake. And yet hte pulee is very gGod, and if I had him at home there are one or two other things that I might try. So Just tell the driver to rcme in and help me carry him to the fly^' _ : He wrapped around him the rug he had sent the evening before, which was the only thins about him not In rags, and v/lth the driver's assistance carried hfm cut and propped him up in the fly. Before quitting the place Richard turned the bed over with his foot to be sure notblng of value was left behind. A heavy revolver, which proved to be loaded, rattled upon the floor, and afl he stooped to pick it up a yellow gleam caught hie eye among the rags. "What! more money!" he exclaimed, but on looking closer he found that It was only the gilt' case of an old-fashioned, faded daguerreotype portrait. Nothing else was to be found, and slipping it into his pocket with the revolver, he returned to the cab, locking the door behind him as he left. A few minutes' driving brought tho party back to Richard's house, and with the assistance of the cabman, the still unconscious patient was carried up to on<* ot the empty rooms, where a bed had been prepared to receive hinr Mary was ready with hot soup and coff> P., and Mt a. little disappointed when Richard turned her from the' door. "No, no, Mary, it's no use/trying to give it to him that wty. .Make a little very strong beef-tea; £/will find a way to administer that. /Send me up the bottle of Condy'eyfiuld, and a glass an" a jug of waterX Lefc to himself, he proceeded with a fierce anjtlety^ very different from his usual ^professional coolness, to take pucb/'measures as his knowledge dic- Uted to awaken his patient from his Stupor, and these not proving immediately successful, to sustain life, 't possible, until the effect of the drug should pass off. It was late when, after having exhausted nearly every means known to him, he left him still lying unconscious, and went down-stairs. Mary had prepared a little supper for him. and was anxiously awaiting his appearance. . "A good, strong cup of tea for me. Mary." "Why, Richard, you know tea at T;lght always keeps you awake. Yon would not sleep a wink after It." "That's what I want. I am going to sit up with my patient tonight, and before Alice goes to bed 5'ou had bettor tell her to light a fire In his room." "Oh, Richard, mayn't I sit up along with you? I sun sure I rjhall not close my eyes the whole time for thinking of you. I never can sleep when you are away from me at nights." "All the more reason for you to b? vesting quietly in bed, then," said Richard, who had his own reasons for wishing to be alone with his patient in •'he event of his recovering consciousness. When the household had retired. Richard sat down in an easy-chair b.c- -Ide the fire, having first made a care- 'ul examination of his patient, who moaned .and muttered in his sleep as he turned him over to sound his heart. Reassured of these signs of reviving consciousness, he opened the latent works on "Poisons," on which he hail recently expended a guinea which he could very ill spare, turned to the section on "Morphia," and settled himself In his chair to study it attentively. About four hours later he was awakened from a deep sleep by a loud cry uttered near him. The book had fallen to the floor beside the chair; the fire had gone out. but the lamp was burning brightly. The sick man was sitting up in bed, from which he had thrown off the covering, and was wWdly groping anifeng the bed-clothes in search of something. "Lost, lost!" he shrieked. "Help! thieves! Police!" ftlchard was at his side in a cement and caught him by the shoulder. "Thank God, you are better!" ha exclaimed. "But what are you looking for?" "What, doctor, is it you? Where am I? What has been the matter with me? I feel as if I had slept for a hundred years!" "You are in my house," said Richard, "and everything you have is safe. Wow pull yourself together and let me have a look at you. Pupils normal, heart all right. Why, you are a miracle! Just swallow this cup of coffee; it's cold, but your throat must be like a chimney. Down with it!" "More, more; I could drink up EBII!" he cried, holding out the empty cup to be refilled. "You must be a magician, doctor, to have brought me round so quickly. I'm accustomed to these attacks, as I told you, and the worst te always over In three days. But there Is always sickne?s and prostration afterwards, and this time I positively feel better than I have done for years. I have had such a sound sleep as I thought I should never enjoy again. How did you do it, doctor?" "Morphia!" said Richard grimly. "A heroic dose; I saw you were pretty bad and it had to be either kill or cure. Till within five minutes ago I was greatly afraid it was going to be kill. You have slept about twenty hours." •"I can never thank you enough for your courage, for it has put new life into me. I must have been as sound as a church if you have removed me without my knowing it. But are you quite sure you left nothing behind, for I missed something just now that must not be- lost-oa any account?"— "I know," said Richard quietly, but keenly watching the other's face as he spoke. "You had a belt around you with several thousand pounds' worth of money and jewels in It. You had also a loaded revolver, for the purpose, I presume, of defending your wealth. Don't be uneasy about them; I have them both safely under lock and key." (To be Continued.) POINTS ON FOOD. 1 / Coffee is to be cheaper. This Is to be one of the result*- of the War. Nearly half of the world's coffee crop comes to the United States./ We consume almost twelve pouruis per annum for every one of our population, and spend ou an average Nearly $90,000,000 a year for coffee. /TVo-thirds of the world's supply pf coffee comes from Brazil, which places an export duty of 11 per .cenfupon the fragrant beiTy, The nnes{ coffee in the world is grown in Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines, and under the stimulation of American— enterprise these countries will. within a few years, be able to supply the world with coffee. What this means to the coffee consumer he can clearly understand. After all that has been said about the large quantity of valuable food that is going to waste in the shape of edible mushrooms,' recent Investigations made by Prof. L. B. Mendel of Yale show that the nutritive value of the mushroom Is not so very high after all. Science describes Prof. Mendel's experiment as follows: "Chemical analyses were combined with experiments in artificial digestion and special attention was given to the amount of available (digestible) proteid present. The latter was found to be not over 2 or 3 per cent in fresh mushrooms, which shows that the prevailing idea of the great nutritive valae^of mushrooms is not yet justified. be valuable as dietetic accessories, but they do not deserve the term 'vegetable beefsteak.' Their nitrogen is largely in the form of nonproteid bodies. The amount of fat, cholesterin, soluble carbohydrates, crude fiber and inorganic substances contained la them corresponds in general with that i'ound in other vegetable foods, such as peas, corns and potatoes." Rice bread is the staple food of the Chinese, Japanese and a large portion of the inhabitants of India. In Persia the bread is made from rice flour and milk; it Is called "lawash." The Persian oven is built In the ground about the size of a barrel. The sides are smooth mason work. The fire is built .it the bottom and kept burning until :he wall or sides of the oven are thoroughly heated. Enough dough to form a sheet about one foot wide and about two feet long \s thrown on the bench and rolled until about as thin as sole leather; then it is taken up and tossed and rolled from one arm^to the other •and flung on a board and slapped on the side of the oven. It takes only a few moments to bake, and when baked it is spread out to cool. This bread is cheap (1 cent a sheet); It is sweet and nourishing. A SOLDtCR'8 ESCAPB.

It was in the army. The boys had a meal of beef that had bee corned by a bath in a salt horse barrel. It was quite a treat. They all thought so until one of the party remarked that a little mustard wouldn't go bad., "That reminds me" said another "You just wait a few minutes.

Labor's worst enemy is the workingman, who won't work. The life work of a wise man may be destroyed by a fool in a da/. The average woman has more listen- Ing than speaking acquaintances. Lots of married men icrtafld the army tecause they were tired of fighting. It's always the last swallow that is responsible for the fully developed jag. Some men are truthful at all times— except when their wives ask for money. A man doesn't necessarily have to wait until he is 40 to become a fool or a physician. Too great a command of language sometimes lessens a woman's matrimonial chances. As a rule the more a man has to say About women the more he doesn't really know about them. When a young man is sowing his wild oats he always hopes that something will happen to destroy the crop. It is said that a burned child dreads the fire. Probably that's why a newly married man tries to avoid his old flames. A man may learn from his Bible to be a more thorough gentleman than if he had been brought up in all the drawing rooms in Paris. The young should know that wisdom's ways alone are ways of peace. God's favor is the highest good; and heaven is the noblest reward. Conscience should always be king, character is pure gold; reputation is but tinsel. Whatever th« conclusion regarding the Philippines, this is certain—they must not pass back into the hands of Spain. Whatever the trouble with Agulnaldo, a recognition of the partial authority of uU followers, under the direction of the United States, furnishes the only solution of a difficult problem. To let the Spanish resume authority there, after the tremendous cost of conquering them by Dcwey and Merritt, would be the rankest injustice and an iniquitous farce. Mrs. Louise H. Pratt of Sherwood, Wis., thinks that young women should not monopolize the privilege of naming warships; so she wants to be allowed to name the battleship Wisconsin.

" T H E HO UN D S D REINDEER' SUNDAY'S SUBJRCTfc "At the Hart Pantoth After the Watir Brook*, 80 Pantctti Mjr Soul After Thee, O God I"—Psalms, Chap. XUI, VOTM X. Washington, D. C, Oct. 2.—Dr. Talmage, drawing his illustrations from a deer-hunt, in *vis discourse calls all the pursued anc .roubled of the earth to come and Blake their thirst at the deep river of Divine comfort Text: Psalms 42: 1: "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my BOUI after thee, O God." David, who must some time have seen a deer-hunt, points us here to a hunted 6tag making for the water. The fascinating animal called' In my text the hart is the same animal that in sacred and profane literature is called the Btag, the roebuck, the hind, the gazelle, the reindeer. In Central Syria, in Bible times, there were whole pasture-fields of them, as Solomon suggests when he saya, "I charge you by the hinds of the field." Their antlers jutted from the long grass as they lay down. No hunter who has been long in "John Brown's tract" will wonder that in the Bible they were classed among clean animals, for the dews, the showers, the lakes washed them as clean as the sky. When Isaac, the patriarch, longed for venison, Esau shot and brought home a roebuck. Isaiah compares the sprightliness of the restored cripple of millennial times to the long and quick jump of the stag, eaying, "The lame shall leap as the hart." Solomon expressed his disgust at a hunter who having shot a deer is too lazy to cook it, saying, "The slothful man, roasteth not that which he took in hunting." But one day, David, while far from the home from which he had been driven, and sitting near the mouth of a lonely cave where he had lodged, and on the banks of a pond or river, hears a pack of hounds in swift pursuit. Because of the previous silence of the forest the clangor startles him. and he says to himself: "I wonder what thosedogs are after?" Then there is a crackling in the brushwood, and the loud breathing of some rushing wonder of the woods, and the antlers of a deer rend the leaves of the thicket, and by an instinct which all hunters recognize the creature plunges into a pool or lake or river to cool its thirst, and at the same time by Its capacity for swifter and longer swimming to get away from the foaming harriers. David says to himself: "Aha, that is yiyself! Saul after me, Absalom after me. enemies without number after me; awful combat The hart is velocity embodied. Timidity impersonated. The enchantment of the woods. Its eye lustrous in life and pathetic in death. The splendid animal a complete rhythm of muscle, and bone, and color, and attitude, and locomotion, whether couched in the grass among the shadows or a living bolt shot through the forest, or turning at bay to attack the hounds, .or rearing for Its last fall under the buckshot of the trapper. It is a splendid appearance that the painter's pencil falls to sketch, and only a hunter's dream on a pillow of hemlock at the foot of St. Regis is able to picture. When, twenty miles from any settlement, it comes down at eventide to the lake's edge to drink among the lily pods and, with its sharp-edged hoof, shatters the crystal of Long Lake, it f/very picturesque. But only when, after miles of pursuit, with heaving sides and lolling tongue and eyes swimming in death the stag leaps from the cliff fhto Upper Saranac, can you realize how much Dwvid had suffered from hie troubles, and how much he wanted God when he expressed himself in the words of the text: "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." Well, now, let all those who have coming after them the lean hounds of poverty, or the black hownds of persecution, or the spotted hounds of vicissitude, or the pale hounds of death, or who are in any wise pursued, run to the wide, deep, glorious lake of divine solace and rescue. The most of the men and women whom I happened to know at different times, if not now, have had trouble after them, sharpmuzzled troubles, swift troubles, alldevouring troubles. Many of you have made the mistake of trying to fight them. Somobcdy meanly attacked you and you attacked them; or they overreached you in a bargain, and you tried, in Wall street parlance, to get a corner on them, or you have had a bereavement, and, Instead of being submissive you are fighting that bereavement; you charge on the doctors who failed to effect a cure; or you charge on the carelessness of the railroad company through which the accident occurred; or you are a chronic invalid, and you fret, and worry, and scolfi. find wonder why you cannqt be well like other people, and you angrily b!amo the neuralgia, or the laryngitis, or tho ajrue, or the sick headache. The fa^t is. you are a deer at bay. Instead of running to the waters of divine coneolation, and slaking your thirst and cooling your body and soul in the good cheer of the Gospel, and swimming away into the mighty deeps of God's love, you are fighting a whole kennel of harriers, I saw in the" Adirondacks a dog lying across the road, and he seemed un- I am chased; their bloody muzzles at my heels, barking at my good name, barking after my body, barking after my soul. Ofe, the hounds, the hounds! But look there," says David to himself; "that reindeer has splashed into the water. It puts its hot lips and nostrils into the cool wave that washes its lathered flanks, and It swims away from the fiery canines, and it is free at last. Oh, that I might find in the deep, wide lake of God's mercy and consolation escape from my pursuers! Oh, for the waters of life and rescue! 'As the bait panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, 0 God.'" The Adirondacks are now populous with hunters, and the deer are being slain by the score. Taking one eummer with a hunter, I thought I would like to see whether my text was accurate in its allusion, and as I heard the dogs baying a little way off and supposed they were on the track of a deer, 1 said to one of the hunters in rough corduroy: "Do the deer always maVe tor water when they are pursued?" He said: "Oh, yes. M^ter; you see they are a hot and thirsty animal, and they know where the water is, and when the? hear danger in tfie dleianc* they lift their antlers and sniff the breeze and start for the Racquet or Loon or Saranac; and we get into our cedar shell boat or stand by the 'runway' with rifle loaded and ready to blaze away-'' My friends, that is one reason why I like the Bible so much—Its allusions are so true to nature. Its partridges are real partridges, it« ostriches real ostriches, and Its feindeer real reindeer. I do not wonder that this antler ed glory of the text makes tho hunter's eye sparkle and his cheek glow and hia respiration quicker. To say nothing of Its usefulness, although it is the most useful of all game, Its fleeh delicious, its skin turned into human apparel, its sinews fashioned into bofr-atrings, its antlers putting ha»- dles on cutlery, and the shavings of its hosn used as a pungent restorative, the name taken from the hart and called hartshorn. But putting aside its usefulness, this enchanting creature seems made out of gracefulness and elasticity. What an eye, with a liquid brightness as if gathered up from a hundred lakes at sunset! The horns, a coronal branching- into every possible curve, and after it seems complete ascending into other projections of exquislteness, a tree of polished bone, upltttod In prtde, or cwu&f down for able to get up, and I said to some hunters near by, "Wfcat is the matter with that dog?" They answered, "A deer hurt him." And I saw he had a great swollen paw and a battered head, showing where the antlers struck him. And the probability is that some of you might give a mighty clip to your pursuers, you might damage their business, you might worry them into illhealth, you might hurt them as much as they have hurt you, but, after all, It i« not worth while. You only have hurt a hound. Better be off for the Upper Saranae, into which the mountains of God's eternal stre-ngth look down and moor their shadows. As for your physical disorders, the worst strychnine you can take is fretfulness, and the test medicine is religion. I know people who were only a little disordered, yet have fretted themselves into complete valetudinarianism, while others put their t n s t in God and come up from the very shadow of death, and have lived comfortably twenty-five years with only one lung. A man "with one lung, but God with him, is better off than a godless man with two lungs. I saw whole chains of lakes in the Adirondacks, and from one height you can see thirty, and there are said to be over eight hundred in the great wilderness of New York. So near are they to each other that your mountain guide picks up and carries the boat from lake to lake, the Bmall distance between them for that reason called a "carry." And the realm of God'3 Word is one long chain of bright, refreshing lakes; efich promise a lake, a very short carry between them, and though for ag<v? the pursued have been drinking out of them, they are full up to the top of the green banks, and the same David describes them, and they swm so near together that In three different places he speaks of them as a continuous river, saying: "There ii a rlrer, tihe streams whereof shall make glad the city of God;" "Thou shait make them drink of the rivers of thy pleasures;" "Thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water." But many of you have turned your back on that supply, and confront vour trouble, and you are soured with y< ur (ircumstanceR, and you are fighting society and you are fighting a pursuing world, and troubles, instead of driving yoi into the cool lake of heavenly comfort, have made you stop and turn around and lower your bead, and it in •imply antler against tooth. I do not blame you. Probably under the earn© circumstances I would have dona woraa. But you are all wrong. Y-JU need to do as the reindeer does in February and Marclwit sheds,. Its horns. The Rabbinical writers alVmte to this resignation of antlers by the st&g when they say of a man who ventures hit money in risky enterprises, he has hung it on the stag's home; and a proverb in the far East tells a man who has foolishly lost hte fortune to go and find where the deer sheds her horns. My brother, quit the antagonism of your circumstances, quit misanthrophy, quit complaint, quit pitching into your pursuers, be as wise as, next spring, will be all the deer </ the Adirondacks. Shed your horns. Through Jesus Christ make this (icxt your God and you can withstand air thing and everything, and that whK affrights others will inspire you. A. In time of an earthquake when an old Christian woman was asked whether she was scared, answered: "No, I am glad that I have a God who can shake the world;" or, as in a financial panic, when a Christian merchant was asked If he did not fear he would break, answered: "Yes, I shall break when the fiftieth Psalm breaks in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee anfl thou shalt glorify me." Oh, Christian men and women pursued of annoyances and exasperations, remember that this hunt, whether a still hunt or a hunt in full cry, will soon be over! If ever a whelp looks ashamed and ready to sink out of sight it is when in the Adirondacks a deer by one tremendous plunge into Big Tup^ per Lake gets away from him. The disappointed canine swims In a little way, but, defeated, swims out again and cringes with humiliated yawn at the feet of his master. And how abashed and ashamed will all your earthly troubles be when you have dashed into the river from under the throne of God, and the heights and depths of heaven are between you and your pursuers! We are told in Revelation 22:15: "Without are dogs," by which I conclude there is a whole kennel or hounds outside the gate of heaven, or, as when a master goes in through a door, his dog lies on the steps waiting for him to come out, so the troubles of this life may follow us to the shining door, but they cannot get in. "Without are dogs!" I have seen dogs and owned dogs that I would not be chagrined to aee in the heavenly city. Some of the grand old watchdogs who arc the constabulary of the homes in solitary places, and for years hay* been the only protection for wife and child; some of the shepherd dogs that drive back the wolves and bark away the flocks from going .too near th,e precipice; and some of ibe dogs whose neck and paw Land#e«r, the painter, haa made Immortal, would not find mf shutting them out from the gate of shining pearl. Some of those old St. Bernard dogs that have lifted perishing travelers out of the Alpine snow; the dog that John Brown, the Scotch essayist, saw ready to spring at the surgeon lest in removing the cancer he too much hurt the poor woman whom the dog felt bound to protect, and dogs that we caressed in our childhood days, or that in later time lay down on the rug in seeming sympathy when our homes were desolated. I say, if some soul entering heaven should happen to leave the gate ajar, and these fatthful creatures should quietly walk in, it would not at all disturb my heaven. But all those human or brutal hounds that have chased and torn and lacerated the world, yoa all that now bite or worry or tpsr to pieces, shall be prohibited. "Without are dogs!" No place there for harsh critics or backbiters or despoilers of the reputation of others. Oh, when some of you get there It will be like what a hunter tells of when pushing his canoe far up north in the winter and amid the lee-floes, and a hundred miles, as he thought, from any other human beings! He was startled one day as he heard a stepping on the Ice, and he cocked the rifle ready to meet anything that came near. He found a man, barefooted and Insane from long exnosure. anproachingr him. Taking him Into his canoe and kindling fires to warm him. he restored him and found out where he had lived, and took him to his home, and found all the village in great excitement A hundred men were Benching for this lost man. and hie family and friends rushed out to meet him; and, as -had been agreed at his first appearance, bells were rung and guns were fired, and banquets spread. Well, when some of you step out of thla wilderness, where you have been chilled and torn and sometimes lost ami(< the icebergs, into the war*n greetings of nil the villages of the glorified, and your friends rush out to give you welcoming kiss, the news that there Is another soul forever saved will call the caterers of heaven to spread the banquet, and the bellmen to lay hold of the rope in the tower, and while the chalices click at the feast, and the bells clang from the turrets, it will be a scene so uplifting I pray God I may be there to take part in the celestial merriment. "Until the day break and the shadows flee away, be thou like a roe or a young'-hart upon the mountains of Bether." SEND Disturbances U<«om« po Serious That All t Forelffne* art In pansjor.

The Automobile Woman—Magic Vegetable Patch—Lettuce Comes Up Two Days After Planting—Belle of Napoleon— Belonged to a Bovrgogne Victim. The Eagle of the Falls. Empress ef the broad Missouri! Towering In thy storm-rocked nest. Gating on the wild waves' fury- Wondrous Is thy place of rest. Lofty trees thy throne embowering, Gloomy gulf around thine Isle, Mists and spray above thee showering, Guard thee from the hunter's wile. Walls of snow-white foam surround It, Crowned with rainbows pure and bright. While the flinty rocks that bound It Guard thy mansion day and night No Alhambras' royal splendor, Palaces of Greece or Rome, E'er could boast of hues so tendet Or of walls of snow-white foam. Yet this lofty scene of wonder * Ne'er disturbs thine eagle gaze, Nor Its mighty voice of thund«r— 'Tis the music of thy days. Of its voice thou art not weary, Of its waters dost not tire; Ancient as thine own loved eyry, 'Twas the chorus of thy sire. Songs of rapture loudly swelling Laud the monarch on his throne, But the music of thy dwelling Chants the praise of God alone. Let sultanas boast their fountains, Gardens decked with costly flowers, 'Twas the Hand that built the mountains Formed far thee thy forest bowers. Queens may boast their halls of lightness Blazing with the taper's rays- Crystal lamps of colored brightness, Dazzling to their feeble gaze: He who made the moon so lovely, Called the stars forth every one. Spread thine azure dome above thee, Radiant with its peerless sun! The Automobile Woman* The smart and sporty Parisian has now not only to think of her golfing gown, her tailor-made walking gown, her bicycle costume, but she has her awAomobiel gown—perhaps the most Important of all, for a promenade en automobile without being properly dressed for it te a chic sort of misery, writes Katharine De Forrest in Harper's Bazar. Privately I am not at all sure that automobiles in any costume are an unmixed joy. We none of us envied Baroness von Zuylen, the only woman in a party of thirty starting out yesterday morning on the race to Amsterdam and back. She wore a very good-looking gown of gray mixed goods, with a dark blue jacket. Like all the other engineers—or chauffeurs, as they are called here; a word that is fast becoming immortalized as slang— her eyes were protected by enormous blue-glass goggles. The dust in a race Is ftomething frightful I am told. French tailors are beginning now to make a specialty of gowna for the automobile. They are generally in gray, dark blue or green, and covert-coating seems to be the favorite material.. The coats are smart, with many pockets and large and beautiful buttoas. Nearly every chauffeose Is provided with a long supple redinggote, trimmed with a vol* v&t en forme. The hat, it goes without saying, is as simple as possible, is generally felt, and is worn with a thick veil. The cost of an automobile car rem& ins somewhat prohibitive except to th« well-to-do, but amongst the moneyed and leisured class its growing popularity is without question. Although not yet quite a "common object" either of the countryside or of the city streets, the motor-car is gradually but steadily emerging from the phenomenal to the familiar stage. Members of a London, England, club devoted to its cult frequently organize excursions, somewhat upon picnic lines, and of the pleasantest description. Mr. Frank Butler, honorary treasurer of the Automobile club ct Great Britain, recently entertained the members owning motor-cars, and friends riding with them, on his houseboat, the Dolce Far Niente, stationed at Shiplake. About three hundred invited guests had lunch in the marquee. Several of the members drove in their cars to Oxford next day, returning to Henley in the evening, and arrived in London on Monday. Belle of Napoleon. From the Boston Transcript: Mile. Marie Poncy, who lost her life by the sinking of the French steamer La Bourgogne, was a governess in the family of a wealthy dry goods dealer of Manhattan and she was a young woman of exemplary life. While she lived in Brooklyn she attended the little French church at Woodhaven under tb» ministrations of Pastor Lador. She intended to spend the summer with friends in Paris and Geneva, and when she-sailed on the vessel she was overjoyed at the chance of seeing relatives whom she had not visited since her arrival in this country. Miss Poncy left In the residence of her friend, Mrs. Jacquard, a number of books, sheets of music and ether possessions, which she intended to use on her return to this country. The fact that she expected to come home soon was evidenced* last night, when Mr. Jacquatd found among her effects one of the most prized treasures, namely, a portion of the cockade worn by Napoleon at the battle of Rivoll on Jan. 14, 1797. Napoleon bad been only married to Josephine about a year then and he gave her his plumes worn at the battle as a keep* sake. When he went to Egypt the duchess of Saze-Gotha sent Mr. De la Lande to Josephine for some aouvenlr of the great general, and Josephine gave the messenger the plume and told its story. A portion of It was given to Miss Poncy's father and he had It framed in a gold medallion. This was the treasure of the poor young woman who sailed on the Bourgogne, and, fearing that it might go astray, she had left it, with her other; effects, with her friends, the Jacquards. The memento, which is labelled "Fragment du panache de Bonaparte a la Bataille de Rivoli, le 14 Janvier, 1797," will be expressed with the other effects to Miss Poncy's sister in Geneva. The family regards the keepsake as priceless. Magle Tegetable Patch. A hot water geyser in the upper geyser basin of Yellowstone park, has been turned to practical use by building a hothouse over it and thereby enabling several crops to be ralBed yearly, where, otherwise such a thing would be impossible, because of the almost daily frosts in this region. The structure was built by W. P. Howe. It is roughly made, and is 25x50 feet A stream of hot water flows from a fiveinch hole in the southern end of the building, passing out the other end. The temperature of the water lacks only eight degrees of the boiling point, and the house is kept at a tropical heat constantly. The rich soil, the sun'e light and the condensation of steam from the hot water make an ideal combination for the growth of Vegetation. Lettuce, it is said, comes up from the dry seed in two days, and good-sized heads of lettuce were gathered in from fifteen to eighteen days after planting. In twenty- eight days a head of lettuce measured twenty-two inches across, and the condensation of the steam would even break down the larger leaves with the weight of water upon them. Cucumber vines grow from twentyflve to thirty- five feet in length in less than sixty days, without being watered, except for the moisture in the air. On some of the cucumber vines five full-sized cucumbers were gathered from a single joint. Three pails of water have been sufficient for watering the plants in the greenhouse on even the hottsst day. Hnnttag Spanish Gold. As a matter of fact, Spanish gold, strewn on the floor of the sea, has done much to improve the art of the diver. Before the armada year was out we began to search for the treasure tlie wrecked ships were supposed to contain, and these efforts were renewed from time to time down to the present ceulury.—Oue of the flrat to try hi luck was the marquis of Argyle. He Bent to Glasgow for a diver, and several descents were made to the ships sunk off the island of Mull. The diver's want of success was no doubt due to the rudeness of his apparatus. It is said that air was supplied to him by means of a leather pipe, but it Is not likely that he was able to remain under water more than two or three minutes at a time. Some eighty years later another attempt was made at the same ships, this time with a rough kind of diving bell. After a great deal of trouble three guns were brought up, and then the operations were finally abandoned. It may help to thrill some of the tourists who visit these northern seas to know that under their sliding keels lie Spanish ships and unknown quantities of Spanish gold. A Whitstable driver named Gann is said to have had a pretty piece of luck, late in the present century, with one of the ships of the armada. Business took him to Galway, and one night, over a pipe with the fishermen, he heard the local tradition that a Spanish ship lay off the coast, Gann made terms with a man who said he knew the whereabouts of the wreck, and after several weeks of patient searching with grapnels they came upon traces of a ship. Gann went down in his diving dress and found a large quantity of Spanish dollars. They had been packed originally in barrels, but the wood had rotted away, leaving the gold stacked in the shape of barrels. The diver, with his share of the money, built a row of houses in his native place, and If anybody doubts the truth of the story let him go to Whitstable and ask for Dollar row. Center of Assert emu Fopmlatlea. In 1790 the center of population of the United States was a point twentythree miles east of Baltimore. In 1820 it was about sixteen miles north of Woodstock, Va. In 1840 it had reached a point sixteen miles south of Clarksburg, W. Va. In 1860 it was twenty miles south of Chilicothe, O. In 1S70 it had reached the neighborhood of Cincinnati, and today it is not far from Westport, Ind. The center of area of the United States is in northern Kansas. Accordingly the center of population is three-fourths of a degree south and more than seventeen decrees east of the center of area. Stop! Women, And Consider the AIM m portent Fact, That In addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman—a woman whose experience in treating woman's diseases is greater than that of any living physician— male or female. You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man—besides, a man does not understands—simpjl because he is a man. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probably examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or prioo you can consult a woman, whose knowledge from actual experience is greater than any local physician in the world. The following invitation U freely offered; accept it in the same Nplrit: MRS. FINKHAM'S STANDING INVITATION. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a,woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible tbatshe has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.—Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass. - " The present Mrs. Pinkham's experience in treating female His is unparalleled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many as a hundred thousand ailing women a year.** [kg x.

Vrlttah Opinion of What Mlfht Happen In M Bigg«r Flffht. Now, how will the adveut of this pew power (the United StateB) affect thelBuropean equilibrium? Even it we do not "take at the foot of the letter" that new-born affection which the Americans now profess for us, It seems to be plain enough that the circumstances which have brought about the reconciliation between the two kindred peoles will go cfn making for a closer and ever closer union between Great Britain and the United States. After all, we have the same blood, the same j religion, the same institutions, the same democratic government, the same language and the same tastes. We both love trade and commerce, and a working mixture of freedom and equality before the law to which no other people has attained. From the selfish British point of view, then, we hope that the Americans will take both the Canaries and the Philippines, and if they wished (which is unlikely) ror a port on the coast of China besides, they should have our help in getting It. The "weary Titan" that Matthew Arnold spoke of, with every muscle strained by the weight of empire, challenged on this side and on that by new competitors, menaced now and then by a combination of envious enemies, suddenly finds standing by his side a stalwart son, who, though he j has his own place in the world and his own ambitions, yet seems inclined to say that the old Titan shall always i have *at least a fair field, and, perhaps, j if the worst comes to the worst, some j little favor. And that is the way we j Britons feel about America. ThiB fact, that the two nations which stood against each other at the beginning of the nineteenth century now stand as friends, if not as allies, will probably : turn out to be the most important fact in the history of the twentieth century.— Saturday Review.

Moving ab-iWt on a WTeck, says a writer in Goofl Words, the diver has to exercise gr«at care to keep his airtube and signal rope free. If he goes round a mast or under a companion ladder or through a, door he must return exactly the same way, or his Hues will foul. Sometimes he gets into a tangle which he finds impossible to uncoil. Nothing worse could happen to him. The supply of air continues to come, for the airtube is so made that it never "kinks;" but he 1B a prisoner, and no amount of pulling will bring him* to the surface.

If he has "a clear road" lie will, having thrown off his weights, shoot up at once, and his fate then depends upon the time it takes the attendants to get to him. There ie. a case on record of a diver coming up In this way and striking against the bottom of" the boat; his helmet was not damaged, but the force of the blow drove the edges down into the man's shoulders and killed him. Some years ago an English diver who was at work on a sunken wreck off the Island of Diego Garcia had a visit from the same shark every day for a week. At first he had no trouble in scaring it away; it wag enough if he gave a turn to the escape valve in his helmet and let out a little air. But at the end of the week it had become very troublesome. The diver signaled for a knife and a looped rope, and then boldly held out his bare hand as a bait to the shark. The monster came on with a rush, and was turning on its back when it was stabbed by the diver, who then passed the loop around its body and sent it up to the surface. *>to> t&> Tbe Fay Car Agaim.

The strike of coal miners which has been on iu the Fourth district of Illinois since lu&t April husat lust resulted in terrible bloodshed. Pana has been the scene of excitement all summer, but at the town of Virtleu everything had been quiet until about a month ago, when the Chicago-Virden Co., imported 100 Negro miners from Birmingham, Ala. The traiu was met by a large body of armed union miners who threatened to shoot the first Negro that stepped from the cars. These Negroes were finally induced to return to the south aud the mines were not opened. The mine operators strengthened the stockade about their property and made preparations to open their mines at all hazards. Gov. Tanner refused to send state troops to protect "imported convict labor against citizens of the state," aud when the vigilant strikers learned that a special train on tho Chicago & Alton railroad was coming with 2U0 Nejfroos they gathered in force at the depot and at the stockade, armed with Winchesters and revolvers. As soon as the train reached the town firing was begun by the miners and by a large force of railroad detectives on the train and continued all along the route to the stockade. The moment t\ie train reuched the stockade the miners opened a desperate fire with Winchesters, revolvers and firearms of all descriptions. The armed men on the train answered with a steady tire. The miners and the train ».were enveloped in a cloud of smoke anil the shooting sounded like a continuous volley. Engineer Burt Tigar recp/tfed a bullet in the arm and droope*r from his seat. His fireman seizect^the throttle, pulled it open, and with a jerk the train was under speed, toward Springfield. Thv train stopped at the stockade but two minutes. Its departure did not cause the firing to cease. The tower of the stockade was filled with sharpshooters armed with Winchester, and they kept up a steady fire into the crowd of union miners. Eye witnesses say the dead miners were killed after the train had departed. The list of the dead is as follows: Edward Welsh, miner, Springfield; Frank Bilyeu, miner, Springfield; Albert Smith, min^r, M{- Olive^ Joe Kitterly, miner, Mt. Olive; Ernest Kent-" ner, miner, Mt. Olive; Ed Gree, miner, Mt. Olive; A. H. Breneman, miner, Girard; A. W. Morgan, guard inside stockade; Wm. W. Carman, "deputy sheriff' on the train; D. H. Kiley, Chicago & Alton detective. Six others on the train were wounded, one of whom, Wm. H. Clarkson. of Leavenworth, Kas., will die. J. F. Eyster, superintendent of the mine company's store, was fatally shot and beaten by the infuriated strikers because he attempted to take medical aid to the wounded inside the stockade, who number eight. There were 10 strikers wounded besides those killed. After the battle Gov. Tanner ordered j troops to Virden to disarm all armed persons and to prevent imported miners being taken into the stockade. The militia fired on a group of strikers who went too near the stockade and killed Tom Preston, a Chicago detective in the employ of the mine company. John M. Hunter, president of the Illinois district, United Mine Workers, was thrown from a moving- train by a railroad deputy and was probably fatally injured. Cuban Evacuation Progres*lng. Advices received at the war department indicate that the evacuation of Cuba by the Spanish forces is proceeding satisfactorily and smoothy.

All the troops will be supplied with two days' rations and 60 rounds of ball cartridge. Many lending men of France express fenr of there being serious troubles ahead for their country. M, MelineT the former premier, referring to the '"divided state of society, the violenceof polemics and the sectarian spirit displayed in politics," said that daily the principle of authority wa» undermined, the army was weakened and the institutions upon which rested the security of the nation were shaken.

S. troops, and that the instructions given to the American military commission in Havana to take possession of the island on Dec. 1, irrespective of the presence or absence of the Spanish officials, would be rigorously adhered to. The commissioners, acting upon these instructions, have notified the Spaniards that all ports and customs receipts and the management of municipal affairs will pass into the hands of the American military commander in the island, and thus end Spanish rule in Cuba on that date. By Dec. 1 it expected that enough U. S. troops will be there to control affairs. Troop* Riot at Lexington, Ky. Provost Guard Albie Kitchen shot and killed Private Henry Nygren, Co.

"No, no; you are quite mistaken, doctor," exclaimed the man, all his wildness of aspect returning and his eyes gleaming with a mad terror and suspicion. "There's nothing In it—nothing at all, except what little money I have, and a few curios I picked up in my travels. Let me have it at once, please—at once, without a single moment's delay!" "Don't be in a hurry," said Richard. "It Is quite safe, I assure you. If it be of so little value as you say, why excite yourself about it? How much might there be In it, then? It seemed to me pretty heavy." "Oh, very little; but as it Is all I have In the world, you needn't wonder that I am anxious about It. I must a9k you to give it to me at once; It will make my mind easier." "Don't be uneasy; I give you my word It's quite safe. Look here, I'm rather a fancier of curios myself; I don't mind giving you ten pounds on spec.for the belt Just as It stands. If you tell me it Is worth more, I will give it to you." "I wouldn't take ten pounds not that it is really worth more, but there are things In it that have a special value for me. I shouldn't think cf selling it on any term*?, and I must again ask you to let me have It In my own possession." "I will give you a hand red," said Richard mischievously, "and I will let you retain anything in It that you wish specially to keep." "I tell you I am not poinm to sell It on any terms whntevoi*." rejoined the other tt-stily, "&o we had bettor drop the subject. And I bos you will give It to me now without any further delay." "Yet I should think a hundred pounds would be something of a consideration to a man who has 'parted with the very last rag and stick he cau spare,'" said Richard. "Come, Pi; friend; you may not meet such a chance again; what do you say to five hundred pounds?" __!!Dr^_Falcon_er," replied the man excitedly, "either this is a very bad joke or you must have*lost your seneeB. For the last time I ask you to restore my property. If you do not, I will at once walk out of your house and put the matter in the hands of the police. Give me what belongs to me and let me go." "Very well," said Richard, "you ehail have it at once.^_ He left the room and returned in a minute with the belt and pistol in his hands. He found hte patient already half dressed. With frenzied haste he made a grasp for the belt, but Richard caught him by the wrist and held him as if In a vice, while he said sternly;— "Listen to me, madman! You act as if you think I want to rob you. Why, you idot, if that had been my design I need not have so much as lifted a finger; I had nothing to do but to sit still, and you would have been dead by this time, and nobody to ask a single question about you. Instead of that, I have brought you to my house, I have restored you to life and you repay me with Insult and abuse. Even yet, if I wanted to possess myself of this precious belt, I should only have to go to the nearest magistrate and certify you insane, to have you shut up in a Innatic asylum for the rest of your days. Much attention there would he paid to your ravings about being robbed of gold and jewels! That is what I could do if I were the villain you think me. Take your belt and be ashamed of yourself, you ungrateful wretch!" and he flung it with a crash upon the floor. One of the pouches burst open and the guineas rolled out in a golden stream. With a shriek the owner flung himself upon his knees to clutch them, when his new-found strength failed him all at once and he rolled upon his face In a dead faint. Richard knelt down, turned him upon his back, and sprinkled a few drops from the water-jug upon hie face. As he ^ d eo he was startled to hear a knock at the door of the room. Going hastily to open it, he found Mary. In a dressing-gown, a paper in her hand, her eyes wide open with anxious -suspense. "Oh, Richard! I haven't been able to sleep all night," she cried, "and just now I heard loud voices and a scream. What has happened? Is anything wrong?" "Don't be frightened, darling," said Richard. "You have come Just in time to help me is restoring this man, who has fainted. Is there any brandy In the celiarette?" "Yes, just a littla. j5b»Jl 1. fo and c ltr "Please do so." She turned to go down-stairs, and Richard closed the door and made haste to pick up the coins which were scattered over the floor. "Beet she should not see them," he sKid to himself as he returned them to the pouch and fastened the belt securely round the patient's waist. "Come in, Mary," in answer to another knock. "Ah! you have the brandy. Stop! not that way," as she was putting a wine-glass to his lips; "he won't be able to swallow. Just hand me my hypodermic case; you'll find it in my coat-pocket, hanging at the back of the door." With practiced quickness he prepared tb" syringe and injeetdK a few drops into his patient's arm. To his surprise Mary was not at his side to help him, and when he turned to look for her she was standing near the lamp, gazing with fixed eyes and parted lips on something which she held close to the light. "Richard, Richard, look here!" she exclaimed excitedly. Richard looked. It was the little daguerreotype he had picked up in the man's room and slipped into his pocket almost without looking at it. "Oh, that's only a likeness of somebody that I found in his room as we were leaving, and thought I had better take with me. Put It on th« mantlepiece; he may want to have it again." "But, Richard, do you mean to say that you don't recognize it? Why, good heavens! don't you see it'» * VtV&- nees of mother?" "Of your mother?" he exclaimed, snatching it from her hand. He held it close to the lamp, and had to turn it at •several different angles before he could catch the faded tints on the ehiniug silver plate from which they seemed obliterated, and when he did so he could not repress a lou* exclamation of astonishment. "It is she, sure enough'. No oue could ever forget—those long curls! And I've e.een her in just such a bonnet —all .-ound her face—I'm sure a hundred times! How extraordinary!

It's not likely that I'm going to say now I don't remember you, my little Molly/' He turned to Richard with outstretched hand. "I hope you'll forgive me for what I said just now. You have treated me with the greatest kindness I ever received from any one, and I rep& id you with insult. But I was really not sane where that belt was concerned. You were quite right about it. I got the jewels at Burmah; Lord, what a do it was! I will tell you the story one of these days. I don't know yet myself what they are worth, but it 1B something fabulous. The possession of them made a regular raieer of ms, but I was thinking of Molly all the time. Now I have found her, and the half of them are hers, and as for the rest, why, If you can put up with the humors of a crotchety, testy old brother- in-law, I think I'll end my wander- | ings here and play the rich bachelor uncle with my nephews and nieces— and a lot morRoi them there will be, I hope; eh, Molly?" "Why, Jack," cried Mary, quite unable to understand, "how on earth can you play the rich uncle? And what is this belt you are talking about?" "Here it is," said Jack, suddenly slipping it off his own waist and buckling it around hers. "Feel the weight of that! You just keep It for me, and whenever I want anything out of it I will come and ask you for i t " THE END. OUR BUDGET OF FUN. BOMB GOOD JOKES, OR1QINAL AND SELECTED.

She was down on her knees beside him, trying to raise his head on her breast, chafing his hands and covering his unconscious face with kisses. "See the ^ir is reviving him already," said Richard. "Now, Mary, control yourself; don't speak to him till I tell you; I have something to say to him first. Put out the lamp and sit down in that chair, away from the window. Come now," turning to the patient, who had just opened his eyes with two or three deep sighs. "Sit up, Sergeant Wentworth!" "Yes, Colonel!" cried the sergeant, raising himself mechanically, and lifting bis hand in a military salute. Suddenly his dazed eye cleared and he lookeds round with keen, suspicious glance. "Why. it's the doctor! How do you know my—— I mean," he stammered, suddenly conscious of having committed himself, "my name's Ingram, not Wentworth." J'Come, come, Jack Wentworth, don't turn away your beat friends. I know all about you, and here is >our little sister Molly, just waiting to spring into your arms. Don't tell her you don't remember her; she has been talk- Ing about you ever since we were married, and even after she had a boy of her own, whom she would insist on naming after you." "Oh, Jack.

When I mad* my COW AND BEAR. A mau who was brought up on a farm In Cherryfield, Maine, recently told a reporter for the New York Sun several stories illustrative of the courage of animals in defending fheir j young. One of the best of the stories has to do with a time when the boy was twelve years old. If hie youthfulness is taken Into the account, the adventure will be seen to have been a pretty lively one. One of our cows had hidden her oalf, and I had set out to find him. I heard the cow lowing In the woods and went to where she was, in a clearing grown | up with ferns and raspberry bushes. I Above the bushes I saw her back and hornB, and could tell that she was fight- Ing with something that I could not see. She was standing her ground, facing about so as to keep her enemy, whatever it was, always under her eye. She Woald 8ee Him Soon. Mr. Greville was persuaded when he was over 60 years of age to attend a spiritualistic seance. Foster, the presiding medium, wa3 in great form and the revelations were astounding. Greville sat silent, and his aged, wizened face was as emotionless as a mask. Suddenly the medium grew excited, and said to the old gentleman: "A female form is bending over you. Oh, the extraordinary likeness!" Greville sighed. "She lifts her hands to bless you." Greville sighed again. "It ia your mother." "Ah, poor thing!" said Greville. "I am glad." "She emlles. She says all is well with her." Greville sighed again and said: "I am delighted. "She says she will see you noon. You are old and you must meet her before long." Then Greville quietly observed: "That's very true. I'm going to^take tea with her this evening.**—London Graphic. I thought of nothing bigger than a dog or fox, and was pressing forward to get a look at it, when a bear suddenly rose up on his haunches, standing head and shoulders above the bushes. At that the cow made a rush for him, with horas lowered. The bear struck at her with his paw, and then grappled her with both forepaws by the head. The cow, under full headway, was too much for him to stand up against. She kno«ke<l him over, breaking his held, and the way *he horned him and butted him about among the bushes was a caution to bears. The sight was too much for my. nerves, and I went up a tree. It was needless, so far as danger from the bear was concerned, for the cow had him whipped in the first round, and he got away as soon as he could, whimpering and biting at his sides in the places where the cow's horns had pricked him. From the tree I could see the calf where he was hidden. He was what I had come for, but I did not feel like getting down until I was 6ure the cow had got quiet But she knew her friends, and when I went to the calf and set him on his feet,—he was hiding, like a fawn, close to the ground,— ehe made no objection, but went quietly back to the pasture, with the calf following.

Tom Paine's A piece of cable recently found in a historic dwelling at the Palls of Schuylkill recalls the first suspension bridge of a single arch ever attempted in this .country. The idea originated with Thomas Paine, "the great commoner of mankind,*' while he was spending the summer of 17S6 at thr hotel near the falls of SchuykilL The idea was suggested to him by the racehanism of a spider web, and he began to work upon plans for an Iron bridge to span the river at that point. To lay his model before the French Academy of Science, Paine went to France In 1787, but that country was already on the road to revolution, and had no time for the study of bridges. In England Paine forgot his scientific mission and became absorbed In political affairs, which ended with his imprisonment and gave to the world T h e Right* of Man," but lost to it for many years advanced scientific bridge-building.— 1-aUadelahia RsoonL Papa'c Idea of It.

Our religious opinions are, as a whole,, a matter of faith. Whatever denomination or sect we follow we pin our faith on the words and teachings of our pastor. His sincerity is never doubted; that he thoroughly believes his adopted creed is unquestioned. The opinion of the clergy on any subject carry welldeserved weight with all classes ot people. Manj- reverend gentlemen in Michigan are testifying for the little conqueror. Their praise is not given lightly and only after personal experience. Gratitude and a desire %o promote the welfare of the public brings forth such testimony as follows: The Rev. F. A. Smith, of S29 First street. Kalamazoo. Mich., says: "When I procured Dean's Kidney Pills I was, at the time, and had been,considerably troubled with my kidneys. Backache was quite pronounced, being especially severe when I sat or stood in a stooping position for any length of time. Other symptoms usually attending disordered kidneys plainly indicated what caused the difficulty. Doan's Kidney Pills corrected the aonoyanoe in a very short time, and I have not noticed, up to date, any indication of a recurrence. As I took no other medicine there can be no doubt but Doan's Kidney Pills were the direct moans of curing- me. I am most favorably impressed, with them." DoanV Kidney Pills for sale by all dealers.

A Lapeer flour merchant let the story get out that while he was stooping over his flour bin, a £150 diamond ring had slipped from his finger into the flour. He appeared to be greatly worried over his loss, got a notice in the local paper, but finally announced with a sigh that it would have to be given up as hopelessly lost; that he supposed it would turn up in a sack of flour, but he had no idea which one. The guileless man's trade took an awful boom and for a week he had to hire extra help to, fill sacks of flour out of that bin.

Elizabeth Flint Wade has an illustrated paper on "Photography; Its Marvels" in September St. Nicholus. The author says: "The first accounts of this great discovery are very entertaining reading. Prof. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph, was in Paris when the news was published, and at once went to see Daguerre's wonderful pictures. In describing them afterward, he said that moving objects made no impression on the plate; for a picture taken of a crowded boulevard showed it as if entirely deserted, with the exception of a man having his shoes polished. The man's feet, he said, were well defined, because they were kept stationary. But he was without head or body for these were in motion. To America belongs the honor of making the first photographic portrait, the artist being Professor Draper, who was afterward president of the University of New York. His victim was his sister, Miss Catharine Draper. He powdered her face, that the likeness might be more quickly impressed on the sensitive plate, and for thirty minutes Miss Draper sat— or at least tried to sit as immovable as a statute. The first class in photography WHS formed in Boston in tho spring bf 1840 by Daguerre's agent, Gourad of Paris. The Rev. Everett Hale, then a student in Harvard became an enthusiastic member of the class. In his diary under date of April 1, 1840, is this entry:- "On my way home I stopped at the shop and got my daguerreotype thermometor. There seems to be a great demand; there were three or four others there." L O C A L N E W S , lector, at the same time demanding a receipt, which waa given. Green Wilson, owned by Jas. Boaob of Anderson, was the winner of tbe 2:25 trot at the Fowlerville fair on the second day. While a resident of Genoa town* ship, Livingston Co., named Richardson was cleaning out an old open well on his place a few days ago, he came across a wooden box which contained the skeleton of an infant. The box bad evidently been in water for two or three years. The Pinckney and Chelsea ball teams crossed bats at the latter place last Saturday afternoon, the home team winning by a greater majority than the visiting team had scores After the first few innings, it was not a question of who would beat but of what the score would he.

The big game is all down on the earth. People that git thare grub throo the plan ov doin dirt to honwt labor, are the most particklar about how it shud be et at the tabull. Don't force a tockative child inter silence. Tockin may be it* only natchural talent, un yood better sharpen it than to blunt It off too short. Any politickal measure witch the rltch men fight, is a good measure for the poor. You don't wanter let the ritch measure everything jn thare own measure. Don't trust a man Lekaws he is ritch. Most peeple git ritch by bein trusted too far. The fat cow needs to be fenced outer the corn, jist the same as the lean one. Wen a man works fur yoo, un yoo pay him less than he urns—that's livin on profit. If you pay him in store goods—that's gettin yoor work in on him two times. You can't wip edducashun inter a child, nor wip appetite outer it. The slow process ov eternally feedin is the only way to keep a child mentally and stommickly full. It will be a long time before peeple git so- orful good on earth that Saint Peter will let each one £0 inter the wardrobe un select thare own crown on arrivin in heaven. It is dangerous to remain cool in a crowd ov hot heds in time ov war. They wud hang a man fur showin' simtums ov common sense kwicker than fur lickin his wife. Practice that witch will give yoo profit in after life. It's no use for a girl to learn how to stand on her head, so long as the law uv gravitashun is bound to pull her skirts down towards the earth's center. A man generally catches the same sort of religyun that is contagus in his naborhood, votes as pa did, un expects his wife to make the same sort ov pies his ma made. A man is seldom bettt-r'n the sile he grows up in. 1 Don't expect to take pie outer t h e ' cupburd wen yoo have only put moldy bread crusts in; nor milk cream outer the cow that is fed on bean shells un shavins; nor git wisdum outer the boy hooze edducashun is made up outer fambly tradishun un witch stories.

A little boy lately came to Mrs. Mary A. Livermor e with a question , listened to her answer, and then said, gravely: "Well, grandmamma , I will aak Miss Brown tomorro w If what you say is true. " The fact tha t Miss Brown was the little eighteen-year - old teache r of a primar y school makes commen t upon th e characte r and influence of th e teadie r superfluous. An eminen t authorit y says we ought to have a standin g arm y of one hun - dred and fifty thousan d men . Tha t would be imperialis m indeed . Whatever th e peace results of this war, it would be a misfortun e to have tha t expensive show and parad e fastened upon us year by year. Ther e is no necessity for it, and it smacks too much of th e foreign systems which ignore th e taxpayer in behalf of the soldier. We can get up a larger army within a brief space of time tha n any othe r nation , and the delays of discipline and organizatio n would be less expensive and destructiv e tha n a continua l army tax and an utterl y useless display of militar y power. Of the several causes of fear, that of thunder and lightning is said by President Stanley Hall to be the most common, because of the supposed helplessness of humanity to avert or neutralize a stroke of lightning. Yet this is not always the case. During the civil war Col. Rutherford B. Hayes and a little ©quad of men were reco^noitering ia the mountains of West Virginia, when a severe thunder storm broke over them and they took shelter under a clump of trees. Witt f single bolt, five of the men fell senseless and were mourned by their companions as dead. Col. Hayes detailed two men to each of the unconscious soldiers, and himself demonstrated the methods used in resuscitating the drowned. After ten minutes of ineffectual effort, the soldiers declared it folly to try longer; the men were dead. The colonel ordered no relaxing of work. In twenty minutes two of the men showed signs of life; in forty minutes two others, and after an hour and a half the breath of the fifth came with a faint flutter, and all were saved. "Make a point of telUn* this experience," President Hayes unfed to say; "it may savt other In this pastora l lette r which Paul , the old minister , is writing to Timo - thy, the young minister , the family recor d is brough t out. Pau l practical - ly says: "Timothy , what a good grandmothe r you had ! You ought to be bette r tha n moat folks, because not only was your mothe r good, but your grandmothe r was good also. Two precedin g generation s of piety ought to give you a mighty push in the right direction. " The fact was tha t Timoth y neede d encouragement . He was in poor health , having a weak stomach , and was a dyspeptic , and Pau l prescribed for him a tonic , "a little wine for thy stomach' s sake"—not much wine, but a little wine, and only as a medicine . And if the wine the n had been as much adulterate d with logwood and strychnin e as our moder n winee, he would not have prescribed any. But Timothy , not stron g physically, is encourage d spirituall y by the recita l of grandmotherl y excellence , Pau l hintin g to him, as I hin t this day to you, tha t God sometime s gather s up as in a reservoir, away back of th e active generation s of today, a godly influence, and then in response to prayer lets down the power upon childre n and grandchildre n and great grandchildren . The world is 'woefully in want of a table of statistic s in regard to what is the protractednes s and Immensit y of influenc e of one good woman in the churc h and world. We have account s of how much evil has been wrought by a woman who lived nearl y a hundre d years ago, and of how man y criminal s her descendant s furnishe d for the penitentiar y and the gallows, and how man y hundred s of thousand s of dollars they cost our countr y in their arraign - men t and prison support , a3 well aa j in the propert y they burglarized and destroyed . But will- not some one come out with brain comprehensiv e j enough , and hear t warm enough , and I pen keen enough to give us the facts ; in regard to some good woman of a \ hundre d years ago, and let us know j how man y Christia n "men and women | and reformer s and useful people have been found amon g her descendants , and how man y asylums and colleges and churche s they built, and how man y million s of dollars they contribute d for humanitaria n and Christia n purposes? The good women whose tombstone s were plante d in the eighteent h centur y fl.rp mnrp ftiivo frvr gnr>d tn thft nineteent h centur y than they were before, as the good women of the nineteent h centur y will be more alive for good in the twentiet h centur y tha n now. Mark you, I have no idea tha t the grandmother s were any bette r tha n thei r granddaughters . You canno t get very old people to talk much about how thing s were when they were boys and girls. They have a reticenc e and a non - committalis m which makes me thin k they feel themselve s to be the custodian s of the reputatio n of thei r early comrades . While our dear old folks are rehearsin g the follies of the present , if we put them on the witness stand and cross-examin e them as to how thing s •wer e seventy year* ago the silence become s oppressive. The celebrate d Frenchmen , Volney, visited thi s countr y in 1796, and he says of woman' s diet in those times : "If a premiu m was offered for a regimen most destructiv e to health , non e could be devised more efficacious for these endg tha n tha t in use amon g these people. " Tha t eciipses our lobster salad at midnight . Everybody talks about the dissipation of moder n society and how womanl y healt h goes down unde r it, but it was worse a hun - dred years ago, for th e chaplai n of a Frenc h regimen t in our revolutionar y war wrote in 1782, in his "Book of American Women, " saying: "They are tall and well-proportioned , thei r feature s are generally regular, thei r complexions are generally fair and withou t color. At twenty years of age the women have no longer th e freshness of youth . At thirt y or forty the y arc decrepit. " In 1812 a foreign consu l wrote a book entitled , "A Sketch of the Unit - ed State s at the Commencemtn t of the Presen t Century," and he says of the women of those times: "At the age of thirt y all thei r charm s have disappeared. " One glance at the portrait s of the women a hundre d years ago and thei r style of dres3 makes us wonder how they ever got thei r breath . All thi s makes me thin k tha t th e express rail trai n is no mor e an improvemen t on th e old cana l boat, or the telegraph no mor e an improvemen t on the olfltime saddle-bags , tha n the women of our day are an Improvemen t en the women of the last century . But still, notwithstandin g tha t those time s were so much worse tha n ours, ther e was a glorious race of godly women , seventy and a hundre d years ago, who held the world back from sin and lifted It toward virtue, and without their a n t ed and sanctified influence before this the last good influenc e would have perished from the earth . Indeed , all over this land ther e ar t seated to-da y — not so much in churches , for man y of them are too feeble to come—a great man y aged grandmothers . They sometime s feel tha t the world has gone past them , and they have an idea tha t they are of little account . Thei r head sometime s gets achin g from the racket of the grandchildre n down stairs or in the next room . They steady themselve s by the banister s as they go up and down. When they get a cold it hangs on them longer tha n it used to. They canno t bear to have the grandchildre n punished even when they deiierve it, and have so relaxed thei r ideas of family discipline tha t they would spoil all the youngster s of the househol d by too great leniency . These old folks are the resort when great trouble s come, and ther e is a calmin g and soothin g power in the touc h of an aged han d tha t is almost supernatural . They feel they are almost throug h with the journe y of life and read the old Book more than they used to, hardl y knowing which most they enjoy, the Old Testamen t or the New, and often stop and dwell tearfully over the family record halfway between. We hail them to-day , whethe r in the house of God or at the homestead . Blessed is tha t househol d tha t has in it a grandmothe r Lois. Where she is, angels are hoverin g roun d and God is in the room . May her last days be like those lovely daya tha t we call India n summer ! Is it not time tha t you and I do two things—swing open a pictur e gallery of the wrinkled faces and stooped shoulders of the past, and call down from thei r heavenly throne s the godly grandmothers , to give them our thank s and the n to persuad e the mother s of toda y tha t they arc living for all time , and tha t against the sides of every cradle in which a child is rocked beat the two eternities ? Her e we have an untried , undiscussed, and unexplore d subject. You often hear about your influenc e upon your own children , I am not talkin g about that . What about your influenc e upon the twentiet h century , upon the thirtiet h century , upon the fortiet h century , upon the year two thousand , upon the year four thousand , if the world lasts so long? The world stood four thousan d years before Chris t came ; it is not unreasonabl e to suppose tha t it may stand four thousan d years after His arrival. Fou r thousan d years the world swung off in sin, four thousan d years it may be swinging back into righteousness . Bj the ordinar y rate of multiplicatio n of the world's populatio n in a century , your descendant s will be over thre e hun - dred, and by two centurie s over fifty thousand , and upon every one of them , you, the mothe r of today, will have an infl f d il. And if In . four centurie s your descendant s shall have with their name s filled a scroll of hundred s of thousands , will some angel from heaven, to whom is given the capacit y to calculat e the numbe r of the stars of heaven and the sands of the seashore, step down and tell us how man y descendant s you will have in the four thousandt h year of the world's possible continuance ? Do not let the grandmother s any longer thin k tha t they are retired , and sit clear back out of sight from the world, feeling tha t they have no relatio n to it. The mother s of the last centur y are today in the person of thei r descendants , in the Senates , the Parliaments , the palaces, the pulpits, the bankin g houses, the professiona l chairs, the prisons, the almshouses , the compan y of midnigh t brigands, the cellars, the ditche s of this century . Your have been thinkin g about the importanc e of having the right influenc e upon our nursery. You have been thinkin g of the importanc e of gettin g those two littt e feet on the right path . You have been thinkin g of your child' s destiny for the next eighty years, if it should pass on to be an octogenarian . Tha t is well, but my subject sweeps a thousan d years, a million years, a quadrillio n of years. I canno t stop at lone cradle, I am looking at the cradles tha t reach all aroun d the world and across all time . I am not thinkin g of mothe r Eunice . I am talking of grandmothe r Lois. The only way you can tell the force of a curren t is by sailing up stream ; or the force of an ocean wave, by runnin g the ship against tt. Runnin g along with it we canno t ap"pVeciaie ihe force. In estimatin g materna l Influenc e we generally run along with it down the stream of time , and so we don' t understan d <$e full force. , Let us come up to it from the eternit y side, after it has been working on for centuries , aad see all the good it has doue and all the evil it has accomplishe d multiplie d in magnificent or appallin g compoun d inter - est. The difference between tha t moth - er's Influenc e on her childre n now and the influenc e when It has been multi - plied in hundred s of thousand s of lives. Is the difference between the Mississippi river away up at th e top of the continen t startin g from the little Lake Itasca , seven miles long and one wide, and its mout h at the Gulf of Mexico, where navies might ride, between the birth of tha t river and its burial In the sea tbe Missouri pours in, and the Ohio pours in, and the Arkansas pours in, and the Red and White and the Yasoo rivers pour in, and all the State s an ft Territorie s between the Allegheny and Rocky mountain s make contributions . Now, in orde r to test the power of a mother' s influence , we need to come is off the ocean of eternit y and sail uj toward the one cradle , and we find ten thousan d tributarie s of influenc e pouring in and pourin g down. But it is after all one great river of power rolling on and rolling for eve'. Who can fathom it? Who can brldga it? Who can stop it? Had not mother s bette r be intensifyin g thei r prayers? Had they not bette r be elevating thei r example? Had they not bette r bo rousin g them - selves with the consideratio n tha t by thei r faithfulnes s or neglect they are startin g an influenc e which will be stupendou s after the last mountai n of eart h is flat, and the last sea has dried up, and the last flake of the ashes of a consume d world shall have been blown away, and all the telescope s of othe r worlds directe d to the trac k aroun d which our world once swung shall discover not so much as a cinde r of the burned-dow n and swept-off planet . In Ceylon ther e is a granit e colum n thir - ty-six square feet in size, which is though t by the natives to decide the world's continuance . An angel with robe spun from zephyrs is once a centur y to descend and sweep th e hem of tha t robe across the granite , and when by tha t attritio n the colum n is worn away they say time will end. But by tha t process tha t granit e colum n would be worn out of existence before moth - er's influenc e will begin to giveaway. • • • God fill the eart h and the heaven s with such grandmothers ; we must some day go up and than k these dear old souls. Surely God will let us go up and tell them of the results of thei r influence . Among our first question s in Heaven will be, "Where is grandmother? " They will poin t her out, for we would hardl y know her, even if we had seen her on earth , so bent over with years once and ther e so straight , so dim of eye throug h the blindin g of earthl y tear s and now her eyes as clear as heaven, so fufl of aches and pains once and now so agile with celestial health , th e wrinkles bloomin g into carnatio n roses, and her step like th e roe on the mountains . Yes, I must see her, my grandmothe r on my father' s side, Mar r McCoy, descendan t of the Scotch . When I first spoke to an audienc e in Glasgow, Scotland , and felt somewha t diffident, being a stranger , I began by telling them my grandmothe r was a Scotcnwoman , and then ther e went up a shout of welcome which made me feel as easy as I do here. I must see her. You must see those women of the early part of the nineteent h centur y and those of the eighteent h century , the answer of whose prayers is in your welfare today. God bless all the aged women up and (iftwn rho lan.l an^ in all lands! What a happy; thin g for Pomponiu s AttlcG s io say wnen making the funeral address of his mother : "Though I have resided with her sixtyseven years, I was jnever once recon - ciled to her, because ther e never happened the least discord between us, and consequentl y ther e was no need of reconciliation. " Make it as easy for the old folks as you can. When they are Bick, get for them the best doctors . Give them your arm when the street s are slippery. StayVith them all the time you can. Go hoin e and see the old folks. Fin d the placje for them in tie hymnbook . Never be ashame d if they prefer styles of appare l which are a little antiquated . Never say anythin g tha t implies tha t they are in the way. Make the road for the last mile aa smoot h as you can. Oh, my! how you will miss her when she is gone! How much would I give to see my mother ! I have so man y thing s I would like to tell her, thing s tha t have happene d in the thirt y years since she went away. Morning , noon and night let us than k God for the good influence s tha t have come down from good mother s all the way back. Timothy , don' t forget your grandmothe r Lois. And han d down to other s this patrimon y of blessing. Pass along the coronets . Make religion an heirloo m from generatio n to generation . Mothers , consecrat e yourselves to God and you will help consecrat e all the age following! Do not dwell so much on your hardship s tha t you miss your chanc e by wielding an influenc e tha t shall look down upon you from the towers of an endless future. I know Marti n Luthe r was right when he consoled his wife over th e death of their daughte r by saying: "Don' t take on so, wife; remembe r tha t this is a hard world for girls." Yes, I go JurtLe r and say, It frs a hard world for women. Aye, I go furthe r and say, It is a hard world for men . But for all women and men who trust thei r bodies and souls in the han d of Christ the shinin g gates will soon swing open . Don' t you see th e sickly pallor on the sky?

A fltfht between tlie Spanish and U. S. troops was narrowly averted at Manzauillo, Cuba, when Col. Ray arrived with a force of American fcoldien* from Santiago to take possession oJ the city. Col. Parron refused to surrender, stating that the evacuation had been postponed for three days. He also demanded that Col. Ray withdraw or conceal hib An^s. There was a stormy interview during which it seemed that hostilities were about to occur, but it was finally agreed to cable for further instructions before taking action. This was done and Col. Ray received word that the Spaniard was in the right, the postponement having been granted while the Americans were on the way to Manzanillo. Mrs. McKinley's Brother Shot Dead. Geo. D. Saxtou, a brother of Mrs. William McKinley, was shot dead at 0 p. m., in front of the residence of Mrs. Eva Althouse, a widow, at Canton, O., where he is presumed to have gone to make a call. Five shots were fired, three of which entered his body. Mrs. Anna C. George has been placed under arrest on suspicion of being the murderer. Mrs. George obtained a divorce from her husband two years ago and the latter charged Saxton with being at the bottom of it and sued him for alleged alienation of his wife's affections. The case was compromised last week. It is alleged that Mr«. George had threatened to kill both Saxton and Mrs. Althouse. Mrs. George pleaded not guilty to the charge of murdering Saxton, and the defense will attempt to prove an alibi Oar Large Trade With China. Special reports from U. S. Consul Johnson at Auioy and Consul Fowler at Che Foo show an enormous increase in the foreign trade of China and point out the great value of that part of it originating in the United States. The value of the United States' trade in China represents 15 per cent of the total, being more than double the German trade and second only to Great Britain. As Consul Fowler puts it: "The value of United States exports to China is greater than lhat of all continental Europe and Asiatic Russia. Gen. Le«'i Troop* to Move. Orders have been issued for the movement of the Seventh army corps, commanded by Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, from Jacksonville to Savannah. The corps comprises 12 regiments including the.iThird Nebraska (Col.

Admiral John Carson Febiger, U. 8. navy, retired, died at Londonderry, his residence near Easton, Md., in his 78th year. He entered the navy as a midshipman from Ohio in 1839.

KINDNESS TO A MULE. A Young Ottlcer'it Experience Proved II to bo L'n»le»{. Tbe mule was undoubtedly a bad mule, but Lieutenant Kellenberger, of Buttery G, First Ohio Light Artillery, said that his disposition had been ruined and his confidence in human nature destroyed by improper treatment. "He has been mistreated," said Lieutenant Kellrnbergcr; "I will show you how this mule should be treated." Then the lieutenant, with the assistance of an orderly, saddled the mistreated mule in iront of his own tent. The mule offered neither resistance nor protest. The lieutenant patted him on the neck. "He needs kind but firm treatment," said he. Then Lieutenant Kellenberger mounted. Th« mistreated mule danced three bars of a two-step, executed an individual hop,t skip and'jump with each leg, and projected Lieutenant Kellenberger into the air directly beneath a thorn tree. "Catch that man-eating monster and beat him to death," said Lieutenant Kellenberger, as the hospital corps assleted him to his tent. Then several men came out of a company street and erected a tablet, reading thus: "Where Keller Tell, May 28, 1898." WANTED—A second hand small Hounn Oak heater; also a small cook stove.

This date will tell you the time your paper was paid up to and thereby you can tell for yourself just what you owe this office. Now friends, you claim times are better than ever before, and in the past you have not been crowded by us; and if each one of you whose paper is marked will see to it immediately that the small amount due us is paid, so much quicker we can add tbe many dollars together which will form tbe sum we ar«> obliged to raise to meet our obligations. Each one thinks, perhaps, that it is only a small sum, so will not be in a hurry to pay; but it is the single kernels ot corn that fills the measure.

CHAPTER I. It is come fifteen years or more since the quiet, hundrum little village of Sledgemeve became famous for a brief period, on account of the commiccion of a dreadful crime. Sledgemere is an out-of-the-way spot in Sussex, having to this day no railway station within nine miles, and boasting only two gentlemen's residences aud a vicarage. For nearly thirty years the paraon had preached, and his parishioners had listened. There had been squabbles between the Vicar and the Squire about chancel rights. There had been good seasons and bad; nine-day scandals had been cherished and nursed; but never before had the sober, slowgoing people of the village been 60 utterly startled from their dreamy, every- day existence as they were on that memorable morning of the 14th of July, 18—. About half a mile from the Squire's house and on the opposite side of the village there was a pretty old mansion called Froyles, which had been occupied for a considerable time by an elderly bachelor named Hughe*. Very little was known of him, although when he first came into the neighborhood he brought with him introductions to the Squire, from whom he Tentod the house. Considering that he lived almost entirely alone, lie kept up a somewhat large establishment. Occasionally an. elderly maiden-lady named Mle^ Pyccroft, who was supposed to be his niece, came and paid him a three or four mouths' visit; but the old man wa3 of such retiring habits that he could not endure for any length of time any interference in his T<jflys of life. Ro Mtos Pyecroft's yjsit*. invariably terminated in a stormy eruption on his part, caused by some fancied liberty he imagined her to have taken in the ordering of the household, or by some grumbling on the part of the servants, who by no means relished her trespassing upon their preserves. Mr. Hughes spent his time chiefly among his books and coins, of both of which he prided himself upon having a large and valuable collection. His household consisted chiefly of a butler, a footman, a cook, and two maid-servants, besides two out-of-door men, the coachman and gardener. In such a dull spot it was no easy task to get Indoor men-servants to remain. The master of the house very seldom entertained, and even deplored having to preside at the two or three annual dteser-parties, at which, the Squire, the Vicar and the local doctor, accompanied by their respective wives, wore hia chief and generally his only guests. These dinners were indeed but slow affairs, for the only post-prandial diversion ever offered was an inspection of Mr. Hughes' coins, which were displayed in their glass cases all around the drawing-room. After the departure of the gueets, these treasures were re-deposited in the great oaken cabinets In the library, to lie by until the next festive occasion. Among them were many valuable antique gold and silver pieces, and it was a common remark of the Squire's, when he dined at Froyles, that he would not like to keep so much bullion in his house, for fear of waking up eome fine morning and finding his throat cut! Habit, however, had become a second nature, and the possession of these coins caused Mr. Hughes no anxiety. They were not things people could steal, he always declared, as the real vahie consisted in their antiquity, and it would be a hard matter to dispose of them. "But you might melt them down," the Squire suggested. "Melt your grandmother down!" Mr. Hughe3 had replied Irritably, as if the very motion of melting down such treasures for the sake of paltry dross were offensive to him. It is necessary, in order to follow the revelations contained in these pages, to be particular as to the description of the inmates of Mr. Hughes' establishment at the time the narrative commences. The cook, Mrs. Young, was an elderly woman, who had been five years in her present situation. The two maid*, Sarah and Anne Dodson, were eisters, botti young women, and natives of the village of Sledgemere. The footman, Edward •Bartlett, was a youth of nineteen, and had lately been engaged with an excellent two years' cWacter from hta former master. The butler, William Luke, was a man of oTer forty years of age, whe had entered Mr. Hughes' service atou^ ILJ Mme time as Bartleit° : J -j: In con—quence of the difficulty ne had experienced in obtaining servants, Mr. Hughes had taken Luke into his service without a character, The man had been discharged by his late employer for impertinence and suspected pilfering of wine; but Mr. Hughes liked his looks, and, after cautioning him as to his future behavior, consented to engage him. Of the coachman and the gardener it is scarcely necessary to say anything, because at the time of the dreadful event about to be described they were proved to be in their houses with their" respective wives and children. On the 13th of July, 18—, Mr. Hughes gave one of his solemn dinner parties. As usual, the coins were displayed after dinner, and the old gentleman ! r'.d forth with more than his ordinary zeal upon their history, value and merit. After the guests had taken their departure, Luke, the butler, assisted by Edward Bartlett, removed the cases, under Mr. Hughes' supervision, and placed them in the cabinets in the library where they were ordinarily kept. It was supposed that Mr. Hughes did not retire until long after midnight. He was in the habit of sitting up late and jotting down the occurrences of the day, and writing out orders for the servants to carry out on the following morning. He was heard by the ccok to be moving about down-stairs after the clock Etruck one; and the under-honsema. id, Anne Dodson, declared in her evidence that she heard her master come upstairs and go into his bedroom just as the great hall clock chimed the three-quarters after one. This witness moreover declared that she was suffering from toothache on that night and could get no rest, so she wa.3 trying to read herself to sleep. Hearing Mr. Hughes' step on the stairs, she looked at her watch and was astonished to find that it was so late. Soon afterwards the clock below etruck two, and this fact impressed the time upon her mind. CHAPTER II. On the 14th of July, the cook, MrS. Young, was the first person to come downstairs. She. called the maids by rapping on their bed-room wall, as was her custom, and then knocked at the door of the room where Edward Bartlett, the footman, slept. Mrs. Young came down at half-past six. She was not in the habit of call- Ing the butlor. as he was generally very punctual in rising. On this particular morning, however, he happened to be unusually late. After having lighted the kitchen fire, Mrs. Young proceeded to open the library shutters. Upon doing so she noticed at onoe the extreme disorderliness of the room. A chair lay broken on the floor, and with it a table-cloth heaped with books and other articles, as if it had been dragged suddenly off the writing-table. Upon closer investigation she found near the chair a !ar?e pool of blood and pieces of what looked like human hair. Horrorstricken, she searched on. More traces of blood were upon the oak boards and the stone flags of toe hall outside. They seemed to lead across to the drawing-room opposite, while upon the library door were the smeared marks of a man's blood-stained hand. Terrified nearly out of her settees, Mrs. Young had not the courage to let the light into the drawing-room, but, rushing to the foot of the staircase, she screamed loudly for help, and then fainted. When she recovered consciousness, she found all the servants running about wildly, and she learned that her master's body had been found in the drawing-room with the back of his skull beaten in and his throat cut. Luke, upon hearing Mrs. Young's screams, had rushed defwn-stairs partially dressed, aad without his boots. It was be who first opened the.shutters in the drawing-room, and, In doing so, had broken a pane of glass. Upon the arrival of the police Luke appeared so dull and confused, so unable to give an account of himself and his doings at the time he had gone to bed on the previous night, that he was arrested on suspicion. Moreover, there was blood upon hia shirt and trousers, and also upon his socke. He declared afterward* that his socks were stained from his having trodden in the blood when he first came down-stairs, and the other marks must have come from the cut in his hand when he broke the window in the drawing-room. Hia confused state, he owned, was caused by his drinfefc* off a bottle of iherry which h« bad purloined the sight tore, afU.T tte guests had iflfi the din-, ing-room. The cabinets in which the coins had been placed were found broken open and ransacked, and no traces of Mr. Hughes' treasures were to be found. Near the body of the murdered man lay a short New Zealander's club, with bloo4 upon It. Thlfl usually hung in the hall, with similar weapons, which composed a trophy. But the fact which told most against Luke was a large clasp-knife which was known to have belonged to him buried in the dust-heap out In the back yard. The stains upon this also bore witness to the purpose for which it had been used. At the trltf! William Luke pleaded "Not Guilty;" but circumstances pointed xzry 'tsplclously against him. Edward I^rt'.ett, the footman, gave evidence which told greatly against the prisoner, though the young fellow showed cm evident wish to say all he could in his favor. Under cross-examination, Bartlett had to own that he had several times heard Luke eay that "It was quite time the old beggar—hie master—was knocked in the head, and that if be had a heap of coins like Mr. Hughes' he would not be long before he sold them and went off to Australia," The day before the murder Luke had been much put out by his master's finding faulk-a-t-fh'e wnv in which the silver wa«ricept, and lie siirt to Bartlett In the pantry that he 'nd had enough of Mr. Hughes' nonsense, and he did net intend to put up with it much longer. Bartlett swore that Luke was much upset throughout the day on which the dinner-party had taken place, and had been drinking freely, though he had not taken enough to make hia behavior noticeable. The two maids, Sarah and Anne Dodson, also gave evidence, but there was nothing particular to be elicited from them. The jury, after prolonged trial, brought in a verdict of "Guilty," and William Luke was condemned to death. A week before the execution was to take place, however, it was rumored that the police had fresh suspicions, and that there was reason to believe that Luke was not the guilty man after all. So far did these rumors prove correct that Luke was reprieved, but detained during her Majesty's pleasure. Much to the world's astonishment, suspicion seemed to have fallen upon the young footman, Edward Bartlett, and still more were people surprised when it was reported that neither he nor Anne Dodson, the under-housemald, was to be found. The day after the conclusion of the trial Ibey bad leftr-tliuh1 HAPPY MOTHEBS AND HEALTHY CHILDBEN. Lydia E.

" I am grateful to say that after taking three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was considerably better, and after using three more it brought me where I am to-day. I am well, and the mother of a threemonths' old baby. k* Doctors had failed to help me. I have no one to thank but Mrs. Pink ham aud her wonderful remedy." Mrs. ELLA DUNGAN, Reeder's.

When he was born I was sick only fifteen minutes, whereas with my other children I was sick for two or three days, and also suffered with my left leg, and could get nothing to relieve the pain but morphine. My leg did not trouble me at all this time. I had no after pains and was not as weak as I had been before. %lI cannot praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound too highly. May God bless you in your noble work." Mrs. J. W. PRUE.TT, Medford, Oregon, says: ** My health, also the baby's, we owe to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." Mrs. JOHN W. LONG, Wyoming, Iowa, writes: " I had shooting pains all over my body, was very weak and nervous. I could not straighten tip. I wished to become a mother but was afraid I never could. Seventeen months ago I goi some of your Vegetable Compound, and after taking half a bottle was much relieved. I took four bottles and was cured. Now I have a big baby boy which 1 feel I owe to your Compound. Many thanks for your kind advice." A Million Women Have Beeo Benefited by Mrs. PiBkham'a Advice and Medictae lodgings In Lewes, and nothing more was known of them. Weeks passed by and still the police were unable to discover the slightest trace of the missing man and woman. Sarah Dodson, the elder sister, was arrested on a charge of complicity; but she was soon set at liberty again, as there was not the slightest evidence against her. She persisted in her original statement, that she was in total ignorance of the whereabouts of Edward Bartlett and her sister, Anne, and also denied any knowledge of there ever having been any more than ordinary friendship between the pair. Had there been any love-making between them, Anne, she declared, would have been sure to confide in her. Meanwhile the public grew clamorous for the pardon of William Luke, as fresh evidence of his innocence came to light and circumstances which had been overlooked during the trial and which pointed most suspiciously towards the guilt of the missing couple were now brought forward. Luke was accordingly pardoned, and h<«3 many sympathizers raised money enough to purchase for him the goodwill of a small business in London. Much was said and much was written to the papers about the inefficiency of the police. How two people could suddenly disappear without, leaving a trace behind them was a mystery which caused not only perplexity to the chiefs at Scotland Yard, but uneasiness to society in general. A reward of one thousand pounds was at last offered for any information which might lead to their arrest, and a minute description -was given of them and posted up in every town and seaport of the kingdom. Edward Bartlett was described &B being nineteen years of age. with fair hair, good features, and gray eyes, and five feet five inches in height. Anne Dodson was twenty-one years of age, of a dark complexion, with large hazel eyes, dark brown hair, and a clearly-cut profile. Her expression was described a/ "pleasing" and her stature as "tall," ^ h e being five feet seven inches or thereabouts in height But neither the tempting one thousand pounds nor the gibes of the press at the failure of the police brought forward any information regarding the missing couple.

EDITOR DISPATCH: Dear Sir:—I must return you the thanks of our crowd in sending us your paper which comes regularly each week, and which is a most welcome messenger from our native country. We are situated in Dauphin Co. about eight miles from Harrisburg; our camp ground is quite level but, from a hill just south of camp you can see the tents of about fifteen other regiments, and also the Susquehannah River, which is about l^miles to the south-east of us; while about four miles to the north-east of our camp is the Giant Cave, said to be the second largest in the United States.

The Banner Race Meeting which was advertised for Tuesday and Wednesday of laet Week was postponed for one day and as Wednesday proved to be such a dissagreeable day they were declared off entirely. A fairly good crowd were on the grounds on Wednesday to witness the two races and a ball game, and in the latter the Stookbridge team defeated Brighton by a score of 11 to 9. The only races which came off were the free-for-all trot and the froe-forall pace, the former being very closely contested. Six haats came off before the race could be decided, and the fourth heat was a dead heat between Green Wilson and Harry H., and was also the fastest heat in the race. Following is the summary: FREB-F6B-ALL TROT—2:244 Hazel Ridge, 1st Harry H, 2nd Green Wilson, 3rd FREE FOB-ALL PACE—2:22 Sleepy George. Lottie F, Dixie Boy, 1st 2nd 3rd THE COUNTY TREASURY. There is no more important or responsible position in the gift of the people of any county than the election of the custodian of the county funds. Michigan has grown to be a great state, and, Livingston connty has kept pace with its sister counties in development, resources and population, having been equalized at the last session of the state board of equalisation at fifteen millions of dollars. Upon thib valuation. Livingston Co. is paying annually in state taxes, approximately $30,000. Every citizen is interested in bavin? this large amount of money honestly handled and promptly paid to the State Treasurer. That the affairs of the treasurer's office of Livingston county are being managed as promptly and efficiently under the administration of the present incumbent, Mr. Geo. A. Newman is apparent from the following letters state to make this complete settlement. Respectfully, ROSCOB D. Due, Auditor General. Dictated by Henry Humphrey.

The Hones' Moses Were Rubbed fox Lack and Lack Certainly Has Co^e, Rochester, Special.—The career ol Admiral William T. Sampson Is watched with special Interest by gome Rochester people, because they remember his marriage to Miss Elizabeth Burling sixteen years ago. One ol them relates this incident of the marriage as a sign that did not fail. The carriage that was to convey the newl> wedded couple to the train was stand- Ing in front of the house, when the driver stepped ifP to one of the young women in the bridal party, tipped hi& hat, and gravely said: "Would you mind rubbing Tom and Jim's noses, miss? It's a good sign for the new married pair." The young woman smiled, but she did as the driver asked her. Jim and Tom drew Admiral and Mrs. Sampson to the station, and they departed from this city to take up theli home in Washington. Admiral Sampson was stationed in the naval observatory there, and had already made a name for himself. Admiral and Mrs. Sampson frequently spent their vacations in this city and in Canandaigua, and the admiral's wife often said that rest from the bustle of public life was what they often craved, and that it was to be found at its best only in this region near the great lakes. Five years ago, when Admiral Sampson was in charge of the United States cruiser San Francisco, Mrs. Sampson, accompanied by her two sons, Ralph and Harold, spent the summer with hei brother in this city. Mrs. Sampson is well known among teachers and instructors in thiB state, and when the State Teachers' convention was held in this city recently a congratulatory message was sent by James Lee, president of the association, by the wish of the convention, to Mrs. Sampson. The admiral's wife was at one time an instructor in Wells college, Aurora, where she was very popular with her pupils. She is proficient in modern languages and can speak French and Spanish fluently. At the conclusion of her inatructorship at Wells college she became a member of the faooJty of VaBsar college. Just before comlngf tn Carnival of Fun at Gran* Rapids, Oct25th to 28th.

A most curious phenomenon has been observed in the flow of an artesian well on the Kealia plantation, Kauai, says the Hawaiian Star. The water has regular variations In its flow, being lowest at 8 o'clock in the morning, gradually rising until it attains its greatest flow at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and then as gradually falling until 8 o'clock in the morning. Manar ger George H. Fairchild of the plantation thus describes the peculiar phenomenon: "The top of the pipe is thirteen feet above sea level. At eight feet there Is a flow of about 1,000,000 gallons in 24 hours. By adding 'five feet more of pipe the flow stops. We have had this extra five feet of pipe on top of the well for a month or more, waiting for extra pipe to conduct the water to the mill where it is to be used. We have noticed a peculiar action of this column of water, and I have often been unable to find any explanation of it. The coluihn of water in this five feet of additional pipe, placed to prevent the flow, at 8 o'clock in the morning is at its lowest point, one and a half inches below the top ot the pipe. Then it rises until at noon. it begins to flow over the pipe. The flow increases until 2 o'clock, when there is quite a flow. From that time it gradually falls, until at 11 o'clock at night there is a very slight flow, and this ceases at 1 o'clock in the morning, the water gradually falling until it reaches the lowest point at 8 o'clock, when it begins to rise again. It has been suggested that this change in flow is due to the tides or to the rotation of the earth or to the influence of the sun. It is interesting and I should like a sat:.sfnctcry explanation." etc., full sheet music, arranged for I the piaao and organ. This is the greatest offer of music ever made by any house in America.

"ACROSS THE CONTINENT," LAST SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. Tbo f ootntepi of the Creator Seen oa Cvery Ilaod While Journeying Over Our Vaat ISxpaiu* of Kuiplre.—S Sight* It Is our little deeds of love that are large, and our great deeds of self that are little. A violinist works a bow—and some girls do likewise, but they spell it differently. Some people are away up in the social scale because they are too light to bring it down. It's always tough on the tight rope walker when he steps from the straight and narrow path. Whenever a girl begins to lecture a young man on financial economy, he can safely aek her to name the happy day. Some men lay the loadstone of lust alongside the compass of conscience and then talk about its being a good guide. It is in the length of patience and endurance and forbearance that much of what Is good in mankind and womankind is shown. The look of worry and anxiety or. the average married woman's face should convince a girl that men are not worth the exertion necessary to capture and then hold them. It doee not by any means follow that I a good soldier will not make an efficient mayor, or governor, or congressman.. Nevertheless, a warning is demanded because, in every close contest of t h i near future, shrewd politicians will put a soldier at the front. At such, a'time a conscientious citizou will view the situation most critically, and make sure that, while' planning to honor a deserving hero, he is not really strengthening the grip of the objectionable political boss. The man who has an aim is tho man who thinks. The man who accomplishes something worth hie while BA>S a cleui' Idea, lu work on. The nun who drifts never thinks, for the moment he began to do GO he would put his hand on the wheel and steer his craft into clear water. The worthless lives without a fixed purpose, and the great multitude who yearly ruin themselves by yielding to temptation and vice in the guise of pleasure are men who are intended to become archangels and who have the capacity of becoming archangels, but who do not recognize these' facts because their intellects arc* under the influence of morphine, eelfad ministered. Texts—Isaiah 35: C: "Streams in the desert;" Paalms 104: 32: "He toucueth the hilla and they smoke." My first text means irrigation. It means the waters of the Himalaya, or the Pyrenees, or the Sierra Nevadas poured through canals or aqueducts for the fertilization of the valleys. It means the process by which the last mile of American barrenness will be mado an apple orchard, or an orange grove, or a wheat field, or <i cotton plantation, or a vineyard—"streams in the desert." My second text means a volcano like Vesuvius or Cotopaxi, or it means the geysers of Yellowstone Park or of California. You see a hill calm and still, and for ages immovable, but the Lord out of the heavens puts his finger on the top of it, and from it rise thick and impressive vapors: "He toucheth the hills and they smoke!" Although my journey across the continent this summer was for the eighth time, more and more am I impressed with the divine hand in its construction, and with its greatness and grandeur, and more and more am I thrilled with the fact that it is all to be irrigated, glorified and Edenized. What a change from the time when Daniel Webster on yonder Capitoline Hill said to the American Senate In regard to the center of this continent, and to the regions on the Pacific coast: "What do you want with this vast, worthless area, this region of savages and wild beasts, of deserts and cttcKis, of shifting sands and prairie doga? To what use could we ever put these great deserts of these great mountains, impenetrable and covered with eternal snow? What can we ever hope to do with the western coast, rock-bound, cheerless and uninviting, and not a harbor on it? I will never vote one cent from the public treasury to place the Pacific coast one inch nearer Boston than it now is." What a mistake tho great statesman made when he said that! All who have crossed the continent realize that the states on the Pacific ocean will have quite as grand opportunities as tfte states on the Atlantic, and all this realm from'sea to sea to be the Lord's cultivated possession. Do you know what In some respects is the most remarkable thing between the Atlantic and Pacific? It is the figure of Colorado. t&ln A young Indian, recalling his babyhood, when strapped to his mother's ehoulders he "went ahead backward," pathetically likens his race to that condition. The United States government, however, is helping the Indian youth as never before. Seventeen schools, industrial and educational, with an enrollment of over fifteen hundred pupils, are announced for the current year. "It Is not what is done for us, but what we do for others, which develops," wrote one of the&s pupils recently, whicfc suggests the hope that many young men among the India* pupils will devote themselves to the uplifting of their ract*. At the present time th«f» is only one railroad In China, which was built by Li Hung Chang and is under the control of the government. The trouble now threatening between England and Rusala has arisen through the repudiation by China of a contract with the Hongkong and Shanghai bank to build a road from Tientsin via Shan-Hai-Kwon to New-Chwang. The bank is owned almost entirely by English capitalists, although £ few Americans hold stock in i t The proposed new road was an important part of the railroad system under development in China, At its northern terminal It was to have connected with th« Manchurian road, which formed the connecting link with the great tranaatberian route. On the south it irouid have tapped, through Tientsin rtfld the road reaching to the Yangtae river, the rich valley which is China's chief source of agricultural wealth. The proposed road, which the Hongkong and Shanghai bank held the contract to build, ran through the ButtUa sphere - of influence. Conseqnentlj Russia brought great influ* eace It bear upon the Chinese government to prevent the carrying out of ike terms of th* contract It is called the "Mount of the Holy Cross." A horizontal crevice filled with perpetual &now, and a perpendicular crevice filled with snow, but both the horizontal line and the perpendicular line so marked, so bold, so significant, so unmistakable, that all who pass in the daytime within many miles are compelled to see it. There are some figures, some contours, some mountain appearances that you gradually make out after your attention is called to them. So a man's face on the1 rocks in the White Mountains. So a maiden's form cut in the granite of the Adirondacks. So a city in the moving clouds. Yet you have to look under the pointing of your friend or guide for 6ome time before you can see the similarity. But the first instant you glance at this side of the mountain in Colorado, you cry out: "A cross! A cross!" Do you say that this geological inscription just happens so? Noi That cross on the Colorado mountain is not a human device, or an accident of nature, or the freak of an earthquake. The hand of God cut it there and set it up for the* nation to look at. Whether set up in rock before the cross of wood was set up on the bluff back of Jerusalem, or set up at some time since that assassination, I believe the Creator meant It to suggest the most notable event in all the history of this planet, and he hung it there over the heart of this continent to indicate that tin9 only hope for this nation is in the cross on which our Immanuel died. The clouds were vocal at our Saviour's birth, ttie rocks rent at his martyrdom, why not the walls of Colorado bear the record of the crucifixion? The valley of the Yosemite is eight miles long and a half-mile wide and three thousand feet deep. It seems as If it had been the meaning of Omnipotence to crowd into as small a place as possible some of the most stupendous scenery «f the world. Borne of the cliffs you do not stop to measure by feet; for they are literally a mile high. Steep so that neither foot of men nor beast ever scaled them, they stand in everlasting defiance. If Jehovah has a throne on earth, these are its white pillars! Standing down tn this great chasm of the valley you look up, and yonder is Cathedral rock, rast, gloomy- minster built for the lilest worship of the mountains'! Yanler is Be&tt&el rock, 8,270 feet high, l l solitary, standing guard among the iwr«*3, Its top seldom urn -iv ;!, a bride, one Fourth of July, mounted It and planted the* national ^t:;ii thirds, and the people duwn v»i the vailey looked up and saw the* head of the mounUtln turbanod with stars and stripes! Yonder are the Throo Brothers, four thousand feat high; Cloud'* Reat, North ur.d South • Dome, and the heights never captuml save by the flcry bayonets of the thunder-storm! No pause for the eye, no stoppingplace for tho mind. Mountains hurled on mountains. Mountains in the wake of mountains. Mountains flanked by mountains. Mountains split Mountains ground. Mountains fallen. Mountains triumphant. As though Mont Blanc and the Adirondack^ and Mount Washington were here uttering themselves in one magnificent chorus of rock and precipice and water-fall. Sifting and clashing through the rocks the water comes down. The Bridal Veil Falls so thin you can see the face of the mountain behind It. Yonder is Yose'mito Falls, dropping 2,034 feet, sixteen times greater descent than that of Niagara. These waters dashed to death on the rocks, eo that the white spirit of these slain waters ascending in robe of mist seeks the heavens. Yonder is Nevada Falls, plunging seven hundred feet, the water In arrows, the water in rockets, the water in pearls, the water in amethysts, the water in diamondB, That cascade flings down the rocks enough jewels to array all tho earth In beauty*, and rushes on until it drops into a very hell of waters, the smoke of their torment ascending forever and ever. But the moet wonderful part of this American continent is the Yellowstone Park. My two visits there made upon me an impression that will last forever. Go In by the Moneida route as we did this summer and save 250 miles of railroading, your stage-eoach taking you through a day of scenery as captivating and sublime as the Yellowstone Park itself. After all poetry has exhausted itself concerning Yellowstone Park, and all the Momns and Bierstadts and the other enchanting artists have completed their canvas, there will be other revelations to make, and other storiey of its beauty and wrath, splendor and agony, to be recited. Tho Yellowstone Park is the geologist's paradise. By cheapening of travel may it become the nationV. playground! In some portions of it there seems to be the anarchy of thf> elements. Fire and water, and -thy vapor born of that marriage, terrific. Geyser cones or hills of crystal that have been over five thousand years growing! In places ihe earth, throbbing, sobbing, groaning, quaking with aqueous paroxysm. At the expiration of every Bixty-five minutes one of the geysers tossing Ita boiling water 185 feet in the air and then descending into swinging rainbows. "He toucheth the hills and they smoke." Caw ems of pictured walls large enough for the sepulchre of the human race. Formations of stone in shape and color of call a lily, of heliotrope, of rose, of cowslip, of sunflower, and of gladiolus. Sulphur and arsenic and oxide of iron, with their delicate pencils, turning the hills into a Luxemburg, or a Vatican picture gallery. The so-called Thanatopsis Geyser, exquisite as the Bryant poem it was named after, and Evangeline Geyser, lovely as the Longfellow heroine it commemorates. Wide reaches of stone of intermingled colors, blue' as the sky, green as the foliage, crimson as the dahlia, white as the snow, spotted as the leopard, tawney as the lion, grizzly as the bear, in circles, in angles, in stars, in cotfonets, in stalactites, in stalagmites. Here and there are petrified growths, or the dead trees and vegetables of other ages, kept through a process of natural embalmment. In some places waters as innocent and smiling as a child making a first attempt to walk from its mother's lap, and not far off as foaming and frenzied and ungovernable as a maniac in struggle with his keepers. But after you have wandered along the geyserite enchantment for days, and begin to feel that there can be nothing more of interest to see, you suddenly come upon the peroration of all majesty and grandeur, the Grand Canon. It is here that it seems to mo —and I speak it with reverence—Jehovah seems to have surpassed himself. It seems a great gulch let down Into the eternities. Here, hung up and let down, and spread abroad, are all the colors of land and sea and sky. Upholstering of the Lord God Almighty. Best work of the Architect oi worlds. Scnlpturing by the Infinite. Masonry by an omnipotent trowel. Hanging over one of th« cliffs 1 looked off until I could not get cay breath, then retreating to a less exposed place I looked down again Down there is a pillar of rock that in certain conditions of the atmosphere looks like a pillar of blood. Yonder are fifty feet of emerald on a base of five hundred feet of opal. Wall of chalk resting on pedestals of beryl. Turrets of light trembling on floors of darkness. The hrown brightening into golden. Snow of crystal melting into fire of carbuncle. Flaming red cooling into russet. Cold blue wwrmi; i& i'.o i*:til'iii':.tJ. Pull v,--ay mingling into suiiVrijio. Mt.riiing twitigrr flushing niidni&i't shadow*. Auroral crouching anumg rocks. Yonder ia an eagle's nest on a than of basalt. Through an eyeglass we see among it the yoyng eagles, but t i e stoutest arm of our group cannot aurl u stone near enough to disturb the feathered domesticity. Yonder ara heights mat would be chilled with norror but for tho warm robe of forest foliage with which they are enwrapped. Altars of worship at vehich nations might kneel. Domes of chalcedony on temples of porphyry. See all tliis carnage of color up and down tho elilfs; it- must have been the battlefield of the war of the elements! Hero are all the colors of the wall of heaven, neither the sapphire, nor the chrysolite, nor the topaz, nor the jacinth, r:or'the amethyst, nor the jasper, nor the twelve gates of twelve pearls, wanting. If spirits bound from earth to heaven could pass up by way of this canon, the dash of heavenly beauty would not ho so overpowering. it would only be from glory to glory. Ascent through such earthly scenery, iu which the crystal is so bright, would be fit preparation for the "sea of glass mingled with fire." Oh, the sweep of the American continent! Sailing up Puget Sound, ltd shores so bold that for fifteen hundred miles a ship's prow would touch tna shore before its keel touched the bottom. On one of my visits I said, "This is the Mediterranean of America." Visiting Portland and Tacomfl and. Seattle arid Victoria and Fort Townsend and Vancouver and other cities of the northwest region I thought to myself: "These are tue Bostons, New Yorks, Charlestons and. Savannahs of the Pacific coast. But after all this summer's journeying, and my other journeys westward in other summers, I found that I had seen only a part of the American continent, for Alas...a is as far west of San Francisco as the coast of Maine is east of it, so that the central city of the American continent Is Ran Francisco. As scon as you get In Yellowstone Park or California you have pointed out to you places cursed with sucn names as "The Devil's Slide," "The Devil's Kitchen," "The Devll'a Thumb," "The Devil's Pulpit," "Tne Devil's Mush-Pot," "The Devil's Tea- KettK\ rhe Devil's Saw-Mill," "The IVVII'H Machine Shop," "The Devil's GHto," and so cm. Now it is very much n<M>iled that geological surveyors or coMKrcfiBional committee or group of distinguished tourists go through Montana and Wyoming and California and Colorado and ^i\pe other" names to these placeB. All these regions belong to the Lord, and to a Christian nation; and away with such Plutonic nomenclature! But how is this continent to be gospclized? The pulpit and a Pure SIQOCJ Good Digestion These aw the essentials of health. Hood's SaraaparUla is the great blood purifier and stomach tonic.

Doan's Ointment brings instant relief and permanent cure. At any drug store, 50 cents. The more bread tho baker makes the more he kneads.

ChrlslUui printing press Harnessed together will be the mightiest team for the first plow. Not by the power of cold, formalistic theology, not by ecclesiastical technicalities. I am sick of them, and the world is sick of them. But it will be done by the warm-hearted, sympathetic presentation of tho fact that Christ is ready to pardon all our sins, and heal ail our wounds, and save us both for this world and the next. Let your religion of glaciers crack off and fall into the Gulf Stream and get melted. Take all your creetls of all denominations and drop out of them all human phraseology and put in only scriptural phraseology, and you will see how quick the people will jump after them. On tlie Columbia river we saw the salmon jump clear out of the water in different places, I suppose for the purpose of getting the insects. And if when we want to fish for men we could only have the right kind of bait, they will spring out above the flood of their sins and sorrows to reach it. The Young Men's Christian Association of America will also do part of the work. They are going to take the young men of this nation for God. These institutions seem in better favor with God and man than ever before. Business men and capitalists are awakening to the fact that they can do nothing better in the way of living beneficence or iu last will and testament than to do what Mr. Marquand did for Brooklyn when he made the Young Men's Christian palace possible. These institutions will get our young men all over the land into a stampede for heaven. Thus we will ill in some way help on the work, you with your ten talents, I v/ith live, somebody else with three. It is oi:iimated that to irrigate the arid* and desert lands of America as they ought to be irrigated it will cost about one hundred million dollars to gather the waters into reservoirs. As much contribution and effort as that would irrigate with Gospel influences all the waste places of this continent. Let us by prayer and contribution and right living all help to fill the reservoirs. You will carry a bucket, and you a cup, and even a thimbleful would help. And after a while God will send the floods of mercy so gathered, pouring down over all the land, and s«ne of «« on earth and some of us in heaven will sing with Isaiah, "In the wilderness waters have broken out, and streams in the desert," and with David, "Tbiw is « river the streams whereof thall make glad the sl^ht of God." Oh, flU up the reservoirs! America for IN OLDEN TIMES. Many Thine Were Different — Now-a-<tays the Public Profit by Experience. When the striped pole or sign which now indicates a barber shop was employed to let the public know where cupping or blood-letting was professionally performed, close shaves were of daily occurrence; not the easy removal of the hirsute or hairy adornment of the head and face, but close shaves from entering eternity. More than one unfortunate entered the barber- surgeon's doorway to leave it a. corpse or so weak that weeks were required to get the victim of malpractice on his feet, bloodletting was used for everything, from a heartache to a corn, and a pain in the loins was invariably treated with two incisions, one on each side of the spine.

Pictures of two interesting Baltimore and Ohio Railroad buildings have been reproduced in a recent issue of Truth. One is the building at Frederick, Md., which has been used since 1S31 as a freight station, and which is still devoted to that purpose. In the little cupola of the building a bell once hung which was always rung on arrival of trains from Baltimore when horses were the motive power of the railroad. The other building is .the station at Mount Clare, Baltimore, and it is noted as being the location of the first telegraph office in the world. It was from this building that Professor Morse sent his celebrated message In 1844 to his friends in "Washington, forty miles away.

American Pence ComuilNM)on*rs Call the to Time, I The IIispano-American peace commission has reached an interesting and exciting point in its deliberations. Judge Day declared that delay was the only possible object attainable by the persistent efforts of the Spanish commissioners to saddle the United States with the Cuban debt and would be tolerated no longer, as the United States would neither assume nor guarantee any part of the debt. The Spaniards replied that before Spain would repudiate or reduce the face value of the Cuban bonds 60 per eent-'-hor only alternatives— she would surrender to the United States the entire Philippines. Judge Day responded that the surrender of the Philippines would probably be demanded irrespective of the Cuban or any other debt. No Troopa for Cuba Before December. If the President listens to the recommendation of the military commission now in Cuba only a very small body of troops will reach Havana earlier than December. There are two reasons for this. The first is that the weather \vill be much improved by December. The second and more important reason is the desire to use no docks, warehouses, hospitals or camps that have been used by the Spanish or Cubans. This is the only way yellow fever can be avoided. The commissioners urge the President to authorize them to build everything new. Schooner Churchill Went Down. During a terrific northeast gale, with blinding snow, which swept over the lakes numerous vessels had narrow escapes from destruction. The steamer Majestic, towing1 the schooner Churchill, had a perilous time in Lake Michigan. The steamer came nqar foundering and had to cast off the schooner. Shortly afterward the Churchill went down, carrying Capt. Patrick Kane, of Detroit, and one sailor. The lost vessel was owned by J. J. Ward, of Chicago, and was valued at 815,000. Porto Rico, United States of America. The United States is now formally in possession of the island of Porto Rico as sovereign. The war department has received the following dispatch from San Juan, Porto Rico: "Flags have been raised on public buildings and forts in this city, and saluted with national salutes. The occupation of the island isnow complete. BROOKE, Commanding." 14 Lives Lost—Fire at 8ea. The British ship Blengfell, Capt. Johnson, from New York for London, was destroyed by a sudden fire off Margate, Eng. Nine of her crew, including the captain and a pilot, perished. Later it developed that the captain's wife and two children and the first and second mates also were lost. Plot to Assaaalnate Emperor William. The police of Alexandria, Egypt, arrested nearly a score of Italian anarchists and thereby frustrated a plot against Emperor William of Germany, now on his .way to the Holy Land, to be present at the consecration of the Church of the Savior at Jerusalem. Troops will not More South Just Yet. It is stated at the war department that troops will not be sent to the southern camps until after frost has made it certain that yellow fever will not spread. This applies to troops now at Camp Meade Lexington and Knoxville. Dcwey Coming H o m e . Admiral Dewey will arrive in San Francisco on the steamer City of Pekin on Dec. 0.

Me K r l b : creasery t t c Alum is used by many bakers to whiten their bread, enabling them to use an inferior Hour, and it is also employed as a cheap substitute for cream of tartar in the manufacture of baking powder. Its use in bread and baking powder is very detrimental to health, producing dyspepsia and obstinate constipation, and under certain conditions of the human system results In poisoning. What these conditions are so far as each individual ia concerned can only be surmised: some peculiarity of the system producing a morbid change in the secretions of the stomach with which the alum combines and forms an active poison; or, the secretions may be healthy but in abnormal proportions, and these lesser or greater proportions in combination with the alum constitute a poison Just as two parts of mercury and two parts chlorine form calomel, which is not poisonous, while one part of mercury and two parts of chlorine yield a corrosive sublimate, which is a most deadly poison. It takes a pretty good carpenter to floor a pugilist. I.OIKILI IU Good There are, it is estimated, 300,000 milca of highway ro^ls in the United Si-ates, about 20 pt'i- cent of the roatlj of all the world. Great Britain has 120,000 miles of highways and these aro some of the best in the world. Germany has 275,000 miles of roads, and some of them are as poor as the roadways of a great country can be. France, which has taken an enlightened view of the good roads question for many years, and has a pent by governmental or looal authority over 11,000,000,000 on highways, has a road mileage of 330,000, more than any other country. Russia, with an enormous area, has only 70,000 miles of roadways, while Italy, a smaller country, has 55,000. On fine stone roads one horee can haul as much as three horses can haul over an average dirt road of this country. It is estimated that ft would bo necessary to build about 1,000,000 miles of macadamized roads in the United States In order to have as good a system of public highways as is found in several European elates. At M.000 a mile this would involve an outlay of $4,0<)0,000,OCO. Omnibus—Merely a stage name. Ciuinot be < uretl by local applications as thoy nunnot reach diseased portion u-f tho eur.
