Silas, Barton and wife celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their married life at tbeir home in this place on Thursday last, Oct. 7,1897 and a very pleasant time was spent. Silas A. Barton was born in Tyre, N. Y„ May 25,1823, and Miss Harriet P. Lee was born in Cottonsburg, N, Y., May 4, 1825. They came with their parents to Michigan and settled near Pinckney, Oct. 7, 1847. They were joined in the holy bonds of matrimony and for fifty years they have stemed the tide of family quarrels and joys and kept sweet until now at an advanced age they are among the happiest old people we know of. Together they have labored and out of a forest where wild beasts were more plenty than neighbors, they have hewn out a pleasant home where they may end their days with peace and plenty and friends without number. To them have been born five children, three of whom are living and all situated within a half hours drive of "borne." The three boys with their wives and,four children, of course were present on Thursday, with Harry Lee of Dansville, nephew, Mrs. Flora L. Grimes and daughter, Bertha, who are neice and grand-niece, also Mr. and Mrs. Marquis Nash of this place. The gathering was not large but they met with full hearts and it is needless to say that they went away with the wish for many more such meetings. The supper would beggar the English language to describe. In the center of the table was a roast pig and around about it was all the necessities and many of the luxuries that go to make up a bountiful meal. The old couple are still spry and and Uncle Silas enjoys a days sport with the gun and dogs as well as when he killed deer and wolves in the woods about the village. May tbey be blessed with continued health and strength for years to come. m i m • • Annual C. E. Convention.

BlaM started In the Detroit Opera House From a Calelam Light Explosion— Over a I>osen Building* Barued— No One Seriously Injured. & • T h e heart of the city of Detroit w a s •eared and scarred by one of t h e m o s t destructive conflagrations the city h a s experienced in a decade. It w a s shortly after midnight; Julia Arthur's splendid theatrical company had g i v e n their fourth rendition of "A Lady of Quality*1 l a the Detroit opera house; the large audience had dispersed; the actors had gone to their hotels, and t h e l i g h t s had all been e x t i n g u i s h e d by Janitor Wm. Moore and he aud his wife had just retired in their rooms on the fifth floor of the opera house building, w h e n there w a s a loud explosion s n d Moore heard the rear wall back of the stage; fall. Instantly there w a s a flashing of flames through the structure and Moore and his wife hurriedly fled b y w a y of a n outside Are escape, but even then the flames were shooti n g through the wwdenvs. Roundsman Springe* and Patrolman Rutledge w e r e sAAj*4k g on the corner of Woodward ana Gratiot a v e n u e s w h e n t h e y heard an explosion and s a w a burst of flame in the direction of t h e rear of t h e opera house. Rutledge turned in a quick alarm and both t h e n r a n d o w n an a l l e y toward the fire. T h e y hardly arrived before a second explosion w a s heard* followed a t intervals of a minute or t w o w i t h half a d o z e n others. The explosions w e r e Caused b y the calcium tanks used for the stage lights* There were e i g h t of t h e m on the s t a g e , and at each explosion a section of the walla would fall a n d the sparks would fly in every direction. * Within 1# m i n u t e s from the time of the first alarm all the available fire apparatus of the d o w n town district w a s a t hand and in service and that from t h e o u t l y i n g precincts was h u r r y i n g toward the c e n t e r of town. By t h a t time the w h o l e rear of the Detroit Opera house w a s one solid mass of flames, the sparks from the b u r n i n g s c e n e r y and l i g h t furniture spreading « r e r blocks of the d o w n town buildings. A s the fire g r e w hotter the efforts of t h e firemen were directed toward savi n g the surrounding buildings, but to little avail. Constant streams of w a t e r w e r e k e p t on the rear of the Leonard & Carter building, but in a short t i m e t b e w i n d o w s had g o n e iu and fire w a s s w e e p i n g t h r o u g h every floor, driving t h e firemen from the alley. Over on t h e opera house square, which faces t h e Campus Martius and the city hall, t h e flames w e r e g i v i n g the firemen e v e n a harder battle. The wind w a s b l o w i n g briskly from the w e s t and a s t h e roof of the opera house began to •Crumble and fall in showers of sparks a n d burning brands rose h i g h in the Air and sailed a w a y in perfect clouds t o the e a s t T h e smoke and flames beg a n to roll from the upper w i n d o w s of t h e Michell Table Supply Co's store n e x t t o the opera house and it was soon plain that t h a t building was beyond h e l p and t h a t the fire department had « n hand a job t h a t was almost too big.

T h e hotel was four stories high and 440 feet long, being the largest structure of the kind in N o r t h w e s t e r n Michi g a n summer resort seotion. In.order to finish it before winter, t h e contractors were allowed to plaster the upper t w o stories before the l o w e r floors were properly placed, aud this, i t Is supposed, was the cause of the collapse, the w e i g h t at the top w e a k e n i n g the w h o l e buildinjr so t h a t w h e n u sharp g a l e struck the side-wall of the structure, it g a v e w a y w i t h a crush t h a t was heard a mile.

U. of M. ha* been, offered Dry Weather Causes Heavy Lose. Thousands of dollars' worth of cedar h a v e been destroyed by the b u r n i n g of the muck land a f e w m i l e s east of Metamora k n o w n as the cedar swamp. Originally the fire started in the section visited by the late cyclone, where much timber had fallen and is supposed to be the work of incendiaries. The extended dry w e a t h e r has made everyt h i n g in the vicinity h i g h l y inilaminable. Those w h o claim to k n o w say it will burn underground u n t i l flooded this winter. All of the property owners in the s w a m p fought t h e fire for several days and nights. The loss is rated at from 9100 to ¢.200 per acre, as it stands, but much has b e e n cut and and piled and will be a total loss. Some 800 acres have been burned over and the muck also destroyed. The exact loss will n e v e r be k n o w n . A big conflagration w a s caused by the spreading of a large fire in Heattie's woods t w o miles north of Utiea. The flames rapidly destroyed the fine forest and required constant fighti n g in order to keep them from spreadi n g to neighboring farms. The loss is heavy- It is t h o u g h t the fire was started by tramps roasting g r e e n corn. Everything is very dry a n d a rain is longed for. Fire is s w e e p i n g over hundreds of acres of pasture and meadows about^ Benton Harbor, and causing hundreds of dollars worth of damage. Farmers are fighting the flames to protect their homes. The railroads are compelled to keep men fighting fire a l o n g their tracks as the grass is so dry t h a t a spark from an engine i g n i t e s it. The present drouth is the most protracted that the southern c o u n t i e s has experienced in at least 20 years. There has not been a drop of rain since Sept. 46, and only one tenth of a n inch h a s fallen since S e p t 1. Field fires ° on lands skirting railroads are of daily occurrence, and much alarm is f e l t Forest fires are raging around Wilmot, and high winds cause intense exc i t e m e n t Citizens are fighting hard to protect property.

Neal D o w was the author of the Maine prohibition law, which w a s the first e n a c t m e n t of the kind ever placed on the statute book of any state or nation.

Even if the party is not willing to g o as far as the extreme Cuban sympathizers in the United States wieh, it is felt t h a t there will certainly be a most liberal offering of concessions to secure peace in Cuba. Another result that is expected is the withdrawal, either by resignation or recall, of Gen. Weyler. DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. Forest and Prairie Fires Sweep Canadlaa Farms. Owing to long continued d r o u g h t all vegetation about Winnipeg, Man., became parched to tinder and a small prairie fire was fanned into a widespread conflagration by h i g h winds causing awful devastation and death. Farm houses, implements, crops and live stock were everywhere consumed and many farmers lost their all. A most lamentable story comes from Beousejour, 40 miles east of Winnipeg, where t w o women and five children named More ski were burned to death. There were many narrow escapes, Carcasses of horses, cattle and sheep are lying over the' district and a number of families of foreigners' are homeless and utterly destitute.

The little town was practically wiped out of existence. Several other points report heavy loss and in some districts not a farmer escaped loss by the fiery wave.

After taking care to pocket the draft, he tossed up the boy and kissed him. and told Marjorle he looked as If she coddled him too much. Then no prepared to leave. "Shall you be back soon, Leon?" asked Marjorle, timidly. Whenever •he addressed him now she was always fearful of the reception of her words. "I shall not return at all," answered Caussldiere; "or rather, I shall be late, as I dine with a .little party of friends. Do not sit up for me." And with another kiss blown airily to his offspring he was off. Marjorle did not cry or show any sign that this conduct distressed her. She was too used to it for that. She turned in tender despair to her only comfort—the child. They sat alone together, the little one perched on his mother's knee, listening opened mouthed as she talked to him of her old home. She told htm of Miss Hetherington, about the manse, and Mr. Lorraine, who lay quietly asleep in the little kirkyard. How strange it would be, she thought, 4o take the little one there. How Miss 'Hetherington would love him; how old Solomon would stare and call tt "uncanny" to hear him prattling so prettily in French! Ah! but would the day ever come when she could take him there indeed? Long after the child had gone to bed, Marjorle sat "by the fire thinking of those happy days; she wrote to Miss Hetherington, concealing as well as she could the >dark spots in her life, •peaking cheerfully and happily of her little boy, and still dwelling upon the hope of one day bringing him to her old home. Then she mat down.to wait for her husband. Caussldiere was late, and when be appeared Marjorle saw at a glance that all his good humor had left him. He was angry at finding her up; accused heir of wishing to time his going, and coming, and peremptorily ordered her to bed* Without a word Marjorie obeyed; she saw that he was rather the worse for fftquor, and that anything the might .say -would provdke hba. The next morning she rose early, according to her usual custom. To her amazement, jost -«e she was about to give the child his ttreavrast, Causaldlere came down. He had dressed with unusual care; he took his breakfast silently, and when it was over he went up stairs again to add a Dew more touches to his already carefully made toilet; then he reappeared, nodded to the boy and to Marjorie—he was too well dressed to touch either—and left the house. Though he had said nothing, Marjorie was certain from fate dress and mysterious manner that it was no ordinary" work that had called him away that morning, and as she thought of the strange, cold way he had left her, her <eyes filled with tears. Suddenly there was a knock At the ndoor. Hastily brushing away her tears, Marjorie cried "Entree," and the -door opened, admitting a woman, none f other than Adele of the Mouche d*Or. Of all the women of Canssidiere's acquaintance, this was the one whom Marjorle most wished to avoid. She was half afraid of Adele, since she had on one occasion heard her singing one of her songs In a cafe crowded with men. Marjorle's strict Scotch training made her shrink from communion with such a woman. When she saw* Adele's face, therefore, she felt troubled, and demanded rather coldly what she sought. "I seek Caussldiere," returned Adele. "Is he at home?" "No." returned Marjorie, quietly, "he has gone~out." She thought this answer was conelusive and expected to see. Adele disappear, but she was disappointed. She •same in. closing the door behind her, walked over to llttte Leon, and patted hisa os the head. P M S S ASSOCIATION. Leon gazed up and smiled; he had no fear of her; but Marjorle made a movement aa if to protect him from her touch. As Marjorle came forward, Adele looked up from the boy's curly head, and asked, almost roughly: "Whera is Caussldiere, did you say?" "I do not know," returned Marjorie, drawing the boy toward her; "he did not tell me. "He seems to tell you very little, about himself, madame," said Adele, fixing her eyes strangely upon her companion's face; then she added, suddenly, "Why do you draw the boy away from me?" Marjorle did not answer, so, with a short, hard laugh, the girl continued: "I suppose you think, madame, that I am not fit to touch him? Well, perhaps you are right." "I did not mean that," returned Marjorle, gently. "If I kissed the little one, would you be angry?" cried Adele, with a curious change of manner. ."Ah, madame, I am bad enough, but not .quite so bad as you think me. . I love little children. I once had a little boy like this of my own." "A little boy! Then you are married ;jou_have a husband-2—" "When my child was only a baby, before he could walk or speak," continued Adele, not heeding the question, "I—I lost htm. I do not even know if lie is alive or dead." And she lifted little Leon in her arms, and kissed him wildly. Marjorie's gentle heart was touched. "You lost your child?" she cried, full of sympathy. "He was taken from me, madame. I was too poor to keep him, and one night—one cold winter night—his father placed him In the basket at the Foundling. I have never seen him since—never!" "HOTT wicked of you; how cruei! To desert your child!" "You do not understand. In France It Is the custom when folk are poor." Marjorie shrank from the woman in horror. All her maternal heart was in revolt, and with an impulsive gesture she drew little Leon to .her and embraced him tenderly. Adele looked at the pair with a strange expression of mingled sorrow and pity. "And your husband, lnadame?" she asked, suddenly. "Is he* good to you?" "Yes. Why do rou ask?" says Marjorie, in surprise. "Never mind," returned Adele, with her old laugh. "For myself, I think that all men are canaille. It is we others, we women, who bear the burden while the men amuse themselves. Why does Caussidiere leave you so much alone? Why does he dress so well, and leave you and the little one so shabby? Ah, he is like all the rest!" "What my fiusban<r7does," criecT Marjorie, indignantly, "is no concern of yours. I will not hear you say a word against him!" Adele laughed again, "You are only a child," she said, moving to the door. "Will you give Monsieur Caussidiere a message from me?" "Yes. if you wish." "Tell him he is wanted tomorrow at our place; he will understand." She half opened the door.then turned and looked back.

He hummed a Tight air as he went.and | held up his head > with that self-sat- i isfaction only felt ! by the man who has money in his ' pocket. Indeed, the receipt of Miss Hetherington's draft had taken a weight off his mind, as he had an appointment that evening with an individual whose tastes were expensive like his own. j His business during the day does not concern us, but when tt was evening, and the lights were lit,, the cafes ; thronged, the footpaths full of people coming and going, he reappeared in ' the center of the city. Lighting a ci-. gar, he strolled up and down; paused at a kiosk and bought a newspaper; then, approaching the front of one of the great cafes, found a vacant seat at a table, ordered some coffee, and sat down in the open air watching the busy throng. He was sitting thus when his atten tentlon was attracted to a figure Btand- ! ing cloge by him. It was that of a young man dressed carelessly In a tweed suit and wearing a wideawake hat. He was standing in.the light of one of the windows, talking to an- I other man, somewhat his senior, whom '. he had juat met.. Caussidiere caught j a portion of their conversation. j "And hoo lang hae ye been in Paris?" asked the elder man. *1 'Ail the summer," replied the oth- j er. "I came here to study and paint,*! and I have been doing very well. How i are all in Annandale?" i "Brawly, brawly. Where are you j staying?" ! Cau3s;diere did not catch the reply, ', and \he two men moved away with : the crowd; but he had recognized, at a glance, in the younger of the inter- I locutors, an old friend—John Sutherland. "Diable!" he muttered. "What has! brought him to Paris? I must lake ' care that he and Marjorie do not i meet." | He rose, paid for his refreshment, j and walked away. It was now 8 j o'clock. Hailing a fiacre, he jumped j in. and ordered the coachman to drive to the theater du Chatelet j Alighting at the door, Caussldiere i strolled mto the vestibule, and paid for 1 a seat in one of the balcony boxes. He j found the vast place thronged from | floor to ceiling to witness the per- | formance of a fairy spectacle, then in ! its 100th night, the "Sept Filles du DI- 1 able," founded on some fanciful east- j ern story. It was a tawdry piece.with ! innumerable ballets, processions, pa-j geants, varied with certain scenes of I horse-play, in which a corpulent low j comedian, a great popular favorite,was j conspicuous. Caussidiere was charmed, concentrating his admiring eyes part'. cularly on one black-eyed, thicklypainted lady, who personated a fairy prince and sang "risky" songs, with topical allusions and dancing accompaniments, in a very high shrill voice, to the great rapture of the assembled Parisians.

CHAPTER XXVII. ^AfiSINQ the Cerbe rus of the stage door, by whom he seemed to be well known, Caussidiere soon found himself "behind the scenes," and pushed his way through a contused throng of supernumeraries, figurantes and stage carpenters till he reached the greenroom..

The man in Georgia that Is growing it would sell aeeds as low as five cents apiece. The Farmers' Review sent the clipping to the Georgia Experiment station, and received a reply in the line it expected, namely that the so-called wonderful plant was merely a very ordinary cotton plant that was probably palmed off on the present Georgia enthusiast by some local joker. Below we give the letter. Parenthetically we would caution our readers against believing any of the wonderful yarns that are conetantly appearing in the daily press about new agricultural plants of great value. The propagators are simply using the gullible city reporters to help advertise some worthless thing that they hope to make money out of by sales at fabulous prices. The letter follows: —Experiment, Ga., August 28, 1897. Editor Parmer's Review, Chicago, 111. I have yours of the 26th this a. m., enclosing clipping from a Chicago paper. In reply to your letter I beg to say that the article has simply a naked basis in fact—something to build upon. There is a gentleman named Jackson, who runs a small farm near Atlanta, and who Is engaged In booming a socalled African variety of cotton, etc., etc. After some difficulty. I succeeded in getting a few seeds of the cotton, of undoubted purity, and have now in progress an elaborate, competitive test, including 21 varieties of cotton, embracing most of our popular, prolific varieties, seeds of which are easily obtainable at from 50 cents to $1.50 per bushel. So far I note nothing peculiar in the cotton. The plants have an uplight habit of growth, and the fruit is produced on short fruit spurs, each containing from two to five bolls. Usu ally there is one or more long side branches that proceed out from the main stem near the ground. This habit, however, is not so Very remarkable. In fact It so happens that one of the varieties planted in the competitive test, and in rows adjacent to this "wonderful" cotton is very similar to the latter, but not growing so tall. At the close of the season I will make an exhaustive report of the test, which will be published in bulletin form. At present there Is no Indication that the yield will be even equal to the average yield of the other'20 varieties. A few bolls have already opened and show a staple of fair length and fineness, but not comparable to Sea Island cotton. There is now no possibility of any material improvement in the conditions and promise of any of the varieties. In other words the crop is practically sects that feed upon plant lice, the young of the Syrphus fly must be mentioned here. In nearly every colony of lice these little slug-like worms o» larvae can be seen. They move about, raising their heads high In the air, and striking here and there. Whenever an unlucky louse is touched it ia seised, held aloft until its juices have been sucked out, when its empty skin is cast aside, and the worm seeks others.

Very truly, R. J. REDDING, Director. P.S.—The claim that the variety of cotton belongs to a different genus cannot, for a moment, be allowed. It is not even of a new species, but simply a variety of Gossypium herbaceum, and very probably of local (domestic) origin. Enemies of Plant Ue«» Plant lice, like most insects, have certain natural enemies that tend to keep thenr In check. Prominent amongtheae are the parasitic and predaceous insects. The former are very minute creatures, resembling wasps, which usually lay their eggs upon the lice. These eggs hatch into small maggots, which enter the bodies of the lice, iwhere they feed upon the body juices «ntil they are full grown. They then transform to pupae within the body of their host, from which they finally emerge by cutting a round hole through !the body of the louse. Close examination of a colony of most any louse will reveal several yellowish or brownish remains of individuals which have succumbed to parasitism. The predaceous insects live by actually feeding iupon the lice. The ladybirds or ladybugs are, by far. the most important '.factors in the destruction of plant lice. ;ss both the adults and young feed ravenously upon them. There is a notion prevalent in some parts of the state that ladybirds, in some way or other, prou'uoe plant lice.—Natural laws win not permit such a state of affairs.

Michigan Frnit Growers Orgnalie. The fruit-growers at Pentwater, Mich., have taken the initiative step to protect their interests ia the way of handling fruits. A stock company has been organized with a capital of 15,000, the management to make contracts with strictly reliable dealers in such a way as to protect the growers, A detective service is contemplated to investigate all complaints of unfair'treatment of shippers and cause for complaints by the commission dealers against the farmers for any sharp or underhand practice on the part of the shipper. To make the work of the* company effective, farmers are being organized fnto local unions. The local unions report the names of their mem*- bers to the company and pay over a membership fee of one dollar each. The secretary of the local union ascertains the number of acres and condition of the different kinds of fruit to be shipped. All these facta will be recorded by the company's secretary, who will designate. the markets to which shipments should be made from each local union, so that none shall go to an over-stocked market. The company is determined to secure the best prices possible for union members, who are to pay one dollar each every three months to the company, in order to continue its beneficiaries. Several strong local, unions have been organized in Mason and Oceana counties^— Michigan Fruit Grower. U w and Grafting* A peculiar case came up before a judge in the county of Huron, Ont, in which the methods of a professional grafter were under examination. According to a report of the trial It appeared that Cooke of Clinton applied to Murdock, a farmer near Brucefield, to get grafting to do. Murdock asked his terms; Cooke said 5 cents a graft to Insure, or 3 cents each, cash, snd take your chance, says Michigan Farmer. Murdock said, go on; and Cooke grafted thirty-four trees, putting on, so he said, 3,400 grafts, at 3 cents each, $102. Murdock was staggered, but paid $20 on account, and then got some expert evidence, this evidence being that from $00 to 800 grafts were all that should have been put in. He therefore, when sued, paid $5 more into court, making $35 with the sum previously paid Cooke, and fought it out At the trial an armful of limbs from the orchard wast brought into court, and it was shownthat grafts had been put in decaying and broken limbs, and, in fact, everywhere a graft would stick, more for the purpose, as the judge said in dismissing the action, of running up a bill than for giving, the best results in fruit The judge said that the $25 which Murdock had paid was enough, and dismissed. the action with costs.

The 50,000 natives of the lower Congo who have been carrying these steamboats and all other freight around the cataracts are the very men who could not be Induced, eighteen years ago, to give a helping hand to Mr. Stanley. He wished to carry 1,830 man-loads, and he had only 190 Zanzibar and Loango porters for the work. Some of the natives would sell him a little of their time, but they would not carry his goods more than two or three miles beyond their homes. Stanley's faijure to secure the carriers he needed along the river delayed his work on the upper Congo for more than a year, and the labor question was the most perplexing problem with which he had to deal.

The program was opened by that glorious old song "America" and as they sang "Mv country 'tis ol tliee, sweet land of liberty" one could leel a new thrill of patriotism. Rev. Carl S, Jones then gave a short address on patroitism. He said among other things "It is a good thing when we raise the stars and stripes over the school rooxs. It was a good law requiring the beautifal stars and stripes, the emblem of liberty, to float over the schools of the land. * * * While old liberty bell, which rang in days gone bye, cannot ring now, every school bell in the land rings out liberty." He gave a good description of the flag—its colors and the meaning and w^ound up his address by giving the children and all to under* stand that toe flag stood for liberty, patriotism and purity. A class of boys sang "Yankee Doodle Dandy's Boys' 'with good effect and M iss Blanche -Graham gave a .recilation, also Prof. (J. L. Grimes.

It is painful to read in the New York Evening Post (owned in England) day after day that the people of Europe look with unutterable scorn upon everything the people of this country do, themselves or through their representatives, and with effusive affection upon everything they unhappily omit; and the more so because the only possible remedy 1» the impossible one of immediately dying in the vain hope of getting themselves born again in some of the many European styles all of which are the only orthodox things. According to reliable statisticians, since 1S73 there have been cut in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota alone, 154,000,000,000 feet of lumber, board measure, besides 83,000,000,000 shingles and in the last three-fourthf* of that period about 200,000,000,000 feet, taking the whole country together. New York and Pennsylvania have, next to the three states just mentioned, large quantities of standing coniferous timber, and the amount left in the northern states is estimated at about 100,- 000,000,000 feet, or half as much as has been tut since about 1873. in the whole country, and yet there are persons who profess' to see no reason for national forest protection and forest reserves. A Russian journal that has recently come under o%r notice calls attention to the fact that for some twenty years past the Inhabitants of a malarial loisatity in the government of-Kharkov have used powdered crabs with great success in the case of fevers. The powder is prepared in the following way: Live crass are poured over with the ordinary whisky until they get asleep; then they are put on a bread pan in a hot oven, thoroughly dried and pulverised, and the powder passed through a fine sieve. One dose, a teaspoonful, is generally sufficient to cure the intermittent fever; in very obstinate cases a second dose is required. Each dose is Invariably preceded by a glass of aloe brandy as a, ptirt»tlyA_._.The powder is used in that locality in preference to quinine. So says the journal. We will not Touch for it. In an address at Ashfleld, Massachu-s setts, Prof. Charles Eliot Norton of Harvard University considered the "village hoodlum" and the means for his suppression. The "village hoodlum" makes himself more conspicuous than the "city tough." When he becomes sufficiently depraved to enjoy his bad eminence he Is a more •demoralising figure than his city cousm of the same tendencies, and he is more dangerous tp society inasmuch as the officers of the law in rural communities are generally less efficient than in cities. As a means of suppressing the "village hoodlum," Proteeor Norton suggested t i e organisation of a body of law-abidiag dttaans in eecli village or township to g4»e definite support to the constituted authorities in suppressing lawlessness in all ft* stages. By this it Is evident from other parts of the address the speaker meant particularly the suppreastoa of petty acts of lawlessness by youngsters who are the children of neglectful parents and who have In them the material of which full-fledged "village hoodlums* are ACOB had long since passed the hundred year milestone. In those times people were distinguished for longevity. In the centuries after, persons lived to great age. Galen, the most celebrated physician of his time, took so little of his own medicine, that he lived to one hundred and forty years. A man of undoubted veracity on the witness stand In England swore that he remembered an event one hundred and fifty year$ before. Lord Bacon speaks of a countess who had cut three sets of teeth, and died at one hundred and forty years'. Joseph Crele, of Pennsylvania, lived one hundred and forty years. In 1857 a book was printed containing the names of thirty-seven persons who lived 'one hundred and forty yearB, and the names of eleven persons who lived one hundred and fifty years. Among the grand old people of whom we have record was Jacob, the shepherd of the text. But he had a bad lot of boys. They were jealous and ambitious and every way unprincipled. Joseph, however, seemed to be an exception, but he had been gone many years, and the probability was that he was dead. As sometimes now in a house you will find kept at the table a vacant chair, a plate, a knife, a fork, for some deceased member of the family, so Jacob kept in his heart a place for his beloved Joseph. There sits the old man, the flock of one hundred and forty years in their flight having alighted long enough to leave the marks of their claw on forehead and cheek and temple. His long beard snows down over his chest. His eyes are somewhat dim, and he can see farther when they are closed than when they are open, for he can see clear back into the time when beautiful Rachel, hlB wife, was living, and his children shook the Oriental abode with their merriment. The centenarian is sitting dreaming over the past when he hears a wagon rumbling to the front door. He gets up and goes to the door to see who has arrived, and his long absent sons from Egypt come in and announce to him that Joseph, instead of being dead, is living in an Egyptian palace, with all the investiture of prime minister, next to the king in the mightiest empire of all the world! The news was too sudden and too glad for the old man, and his cheeks whiten, and he has a dazed look, and his staff fallB out of his hand, and he would have dropped had not the sons caught him and led him to a lounge and put cold water on his face, and fanned him a little. In that half delirium the old man mumbles something about his son Joseph. He says: "You don't mean Joseph, do you? my dear eon who has been dead so long? You don't mean Joseph, do you?" But after they had fully reaiiscitatftd hlm^_and__the news fresh to-day, in spite of the passage of a half century. Joseph was as fresh was confirmed, the tears began their winding way down the crossroads of the wrinkles, and the sunken lips of the old man quiver, and he brings his bent fingers together as he says: "Joseph is yet alive. I will go and see him before I die." - It did not take the old man a great while to get ready, I warrant you. He put on his best clothes^b&t the shepherd's wardrobe couldafford. He got Into the wagon, and though the aged are cautious and like to ride slow, the wagon did not get along fast enough for this old man; and when the wagon fr# with the old man met Joseph's chariot coming down to meet him, and Joseph got out of the chariot and got into the wagon and threw his arms around his father's neck, it was an antithesis of royalty and rusticity, of simplicity and pomp, of filial affection and paternal love, which leaves us so much in doubt whether we had better laugh or cry, that we do both. So Jacob kept the resolution of the text—"I will go and see him before I die." i What a strong and unfailing thing is paternal attachment! Was it not almost time for Jacob to forget Joseph? The hot suns of many Bummers had biased on the heath; the river Nile had overflowed and receded, overflowed and receded again and. again; the seed had been town and the harvests reaped; stars rose and set; years of plenty and years of famine had passed on; hut the love of Jacob for Joseph in my text Is overwhelmingly dramatic. Oh, that is a cord that Is not snapped, though pulled on by many decades. Though when the little child expired the parent may not have been more than twenty-five years of ace, and now they are seventy -five, yet the vision of the eradle, and the childish face, and the first utterances «C the iefanUle lips ars In Jaco^^B^«n^Qry~ar eYerrthtmgh seventeen yearn of age the boy had disappeared from the old homestead. I found in our family record the story of an infant that had died fifty years before, and I said to my parents: "What Is this record, and what does it mean?" Their chief answer was a long, deep sigh. It was yst to them a very tender sorrow. What does that all mean? Why, it means our children departed are ours yet, and that cord of attachment reaching across the years will hold us until It brings us together In the palace, as Jacob and Joseph were brought together. That ia one thing that makes old people die happy. They realise it is reunion with those from whom they have long been separated. I am often asked as pastor—and every pastor 1B asked the question— "Will my children be children in heaven and forever children?" Well, there was no doubt a great change in Joseph from the time Jacob lost him and the time when Jacob found him— between the boy of seventeen years of age and the man in mid-life, his forehead developed with the great business of state; but Jacob was glad to get back Joseph anyhow, and it did not make much difference to the old man whether the boy looked older or looked younger. And It will be enough joy for that parent if he can get back that son, that daughter, at the gate of heaven, whether the departed loved one shall come a cherub or In full-grown angelhood. There must be a change wrought 'by that celestial climate and by those supernal years, but it will only be from loveliness to more loveliness, and from health to more radiant health. O, parent, as you think of the darling panting and white in membranous croup, I want you to know it will be gloriously bettered - in that land where there has never been a death and where all the inhabitants will live on in the great future as long atj God! Joseph was Joseph notwithstanding the palace, and your child will be your child notwithstanding all the raining splendors of everlasting noon. What a thrilling visit was that of the old shepherd to the prime minister Joseph! I see the old countryman seated in the palace looking around at the mirrors and the fountains and the carved pillars, and oh! how he wishes that Rachel, his wife, was alive and she could have come with him to see their son in his great house. "Oh," says the old man within himself, "I do wish Rachel could be here to see all this!" I visited at the farm house of the father of Millard Fillmore when the son was president of the United States, and the octogenarian farmer entertained me until 11 o'clock at night telling me what great things he saw in his son's house at Washington, and what Daniel Webster sp.id to him, and how grandly Millard treated his father in the White House. The old man's face was Illumined with the story until almost midnight. He had just been visiting his son at the capltol. , And I suppose it was something of the same joy that thrilled the heart of the old shepherd as he stood in the palace of the prime minister. It is a great day with you when your old parents come to visit you. Your little children stand around with great wide-open eyes, wondering how anylbody could be so old. The parents cannot stay many days, for they are a little restless, and especially at nightfall, because they sleep better in their own bed; but while they tarry no energy, oo ambition.

I have officiated at obsequies of aged people where the family have been so inordinately resigned to Providence that I felt like taking my text from Proverbs, "The eye that mocketh at his father, and refuseth to obey its mother, the ravens of the vattey shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it." In other words, such an ingrate ought to have a flock of crows for pallbearers. I congratulate you if you have the honor of providing for aged parents.

Thou sister of the midnight shadows gloomy, Thou daughter of their darkness and their mystery and fear, Thro* the dewy secret pathways, hark! I call thee to me, Thro* the night's wild sounds and silences I, summon thee anear. And lo! thyself is here! T h e W o r m T u r n e d . An Illinois farmer came to Chicago not long ago with a shipment of sheep that looked like they had done nothing all their lives but run from dogs. After loafing around nearly a week he persuaded a buyer to take them off his hands at a price a trifle over the freight charges. "Pity they aren't blackfaced," said the buyer. "The blackfaoed breed alw a y s command, a premium; seems to dress out nicer." The farmer did some lightning calculating and then said he would come up In a week with Just what was wanted. H e kept his word and arrived here on Saturday. He&hunted up his buyer, a m a n named Edwards, and showed his forty blackfaced sheep and a lot of the ordinary run. The blackfaced brought about a quarter of a cent a pound more than the m a r k e t called for. Later in the day Edwards found a purchaser for his blackfaced stock. "I never saw a blackfased sheep with •pots of white under his eyes and streaks around the nose," said the prospective taker. Edwards had not noticed the white • p o t s before. He went into the pen, caught one of the animals, and when h e rubbed his hand over its faee the black peeled off. Edwards is now cursi n g the eold irony of fate, while the farmer Is no doubt mixing a new let! o f black paint for whitefaced sheep.— Saturday Press. Hooaler Frettke.

Twelve years ago a woman r e s l d e i l Of North Tonawanda, N. Y., ran a needle into one of her toes. A small piece of steel broke off. It was never extracted. Some time afterward she became a semi-invalid. Her mind as well a s her body suffered and she developed melancholia. Severe pains attacked her. They were particularly extreme in her side. One day she disc o v e r e d a small red blotch on her side. It w a s opened. A half-inch of discolored puss-encrusted steel was found. It was the part of the needle which over a decade * g o had found entrance to her body through the toe. From the time of Its removal the woman's mental and physical vigor began to improve. She Is today as well antl vigorous as at any time in her past life. B a l l ' s G o o d A p p e t i t e . Col. Deevers was one of the most celebrated characters in central Ohio. He was nothing if not prodigal in hia.generoslty, his flow of language, his wealth of imagination. The colonel never explained how he got his title, but he always insisted on being addressed by that title. On one occasion.the colonel employed a lawyer to attend a trifling matter for him and promised a speedy settlement of the account. Time went by and the colonel failed to keep h i s word. The lawyer stirred the colonel up about it the next time he saw him in town, and the upshot of it was that the colonel agreed to send the lawyer a dozen bushels of the finest apples in Ohio. But no apples come to the lawyer. One day bo saw—the colonel in -town and immediately bore down on him for an explanation. He got it. The colonel, taking his friend by the lapel of his coat, said impressively: "Mr. Williams, I fully expected tt, send you those apples. I had 'em, sir; yes, sir, 300 bushels of the finest apples ever raised in th. state of Ohio. I had 'em all crllbed up and one night a demed little yearltn' bull broke in and eat 'em all up.

M B B I T M H A a s H O N BUT M A P S , That hand work on wash materials is far more desirable than on silk and velvot, so popular a few years ago, cannot be doubt* ed, yet many women complain that the colors fade and diage so soon that tho work is labor thrown away. But this is an error, for if properly laundried, wush silks may be kept fresh and bright until the articles they adorn are past usei ulnosa. The doing of the embroidery is no daintier work than that of keeping ft in good ordor, and only by doing it herself can the tasty woman have her fancy linens kept brlgfa't and pretty. When ready to do the work, select a bright day, fill a small tub nearly fall of warm water and add a little Ivory soap to make suds, put each piece in and wash carefully. After each article is clean, rinse in slightly blue water, to which a little thin starch is added, wring and hang in the shade. When dry, sprinkle, fold, and let stand half an boar. Iron on the wrong side, pressing down heavily to throw out the stitches of the embroidery, thus restoring their original beauty. KLIZA R. Paaxan.

There is in New Orleans a negro woman, according to the chief newspaper of the Crescent City, who has deeply rooted if not very clear ideas about the Bible, among them being the conviction that while God wrote s o m e parts of the great book, men put in other portions. One t h i n g which God wrote sure enough, says the article, is the story of the Tower of Babel. "Yassir, yaseir. God writ dat," s h e s a y s ; "no d o u b t 'bout dat bein' writ by God Hisself. Dat's probed; glory to de Lord. W'y, dey ain't no one nowhere 'cept Mexicans kin talk clair so's you kin onnerstan' 'em. Dat probes God writ 'bout dat tower." A c c o r d i n g t o D a r w i n . In April, 1896, the Fourth Ghoorkea were sent from Mandalay, in Burmah, to Shillong, in Assam. A s the troops marched through the country of the Ahoms the wet weather obliged them to seek shelter in what appeared t o be a granary. The native priests objected to the Quartering of the troops in the granary, but upon the command of the officers the doors were battered down d the troops entered. T h e granary' proved to be an Ahom temple, and four A h o m s were within worshiping. I t was the first time that specimens of this remarkable race had been seen by white men. The word "Ahom" is derived from t h e Sanskrit and means unequaled. These people declare that they are descended from the god India, and refuse to hold communication with w h i t e men. They are a very low order of human being, apelike In stature, w i t h abnormally l o n g arms and perfectly developed tails. Their feet are shaped o n almost t h e s a m e lines as those of a n ape, the t o e s being prehensile. T h e officers brought o n e of the Ahom w o m e n and her children to Shllong, where a photograph'was taken of one of the children. A G O O D T H I N G For Women to B e m i m b w .

On Tuesday of this week, the patrons of the Michigan Condensed Milk factory met in the court room at Howell to discuss the milk problem and the whys and wherefores of tbe reduction in price, and to get at, if possible, some means of peaceably returning to a price that would pay. There were at least two hundred farmers present and everything mov* ed off smoothly although there seems to be a great deal ot dissatisfaction in regard to the price paid by the condensed factory. Tbiy were called to order at 10:30 a. m. and formed a temporary organization, with Wm. Horton chairman, and Freeman Fishbeck secretary. The chair upon motion appointed H. W. Morton, Thos. Rice, John Bradley, Josephus Lare and Wm. V. D. Cook as committee on resolutions and Franklin Smith, Hiram Reed and John Clements committe on organization after which they adjourned until 1:30 p. m. AFTERNOON SESSION. The afternoon session was called to order by the chairman and while waiting for the committees, several people interested spoke on- the question. Dr. Huntington being called upon .said: "My knowledge of producing milk is not veiy large but the main thing is to get a goocf cow and take good care of her. I am very well pleased with my relations with the milk factory hut would be glad to get back to tbe old prices. Personally, I am inclined to let things take care of themselves.

I think a committee should be appointed to meet a committee from the factory to adjust the matter peacably."

British Back Out of the Heal Conference. T h e officials of the British foreign office have communicated to U. S. Ambassador Hay the final decision t h a t the government of Great Britain must refuse to take part in any sealing conference w i t h representatives of Russia and Japan. The British government, however, assorts its willingness to confer with the United States alone. Diplomats consider that Great Britain's course w a s nut courteous to Russia and Japan. Uncle Sam HurprUed at John JJoll. Secretary Sherman has written a reply to the note of Lord Salisbury expressing Great Britain's declination to take part in the Bering sea seal conference if Russia and Japan are to participate, Mr. Sherman states that the U. S. government views w i t h astonishment this determination of Great Britain, and says that up to S e p t 23 the U. S. authorities had fully expected that the conference would proceed with Russia and Japan, as well as Great Britain, present. It is pointed out t h a t aside from the written correspondence to which Lord Salisbury had called attention, there were verbal negotiations between Ambassador Hay and his lordship, in which specific reference was made to the participation of Russia and Japan. Besides the foregoiilg reply, and in view of the differences . w h i c h have arisen, Mr. Sherman s u g g e s t s a conference between experts of the United States, Great Britain and Canada. In the meantime preparations for the conference between the United States, Russia and Japan are proceeding and it will be well under way before the close of this month. If Great Britain persistently refuses to come to any agreement on the sealing controversy, it is h i g h l y probable that the retaliatory measures against Canada wil 1 be recommended to congress, for, unless England pledges herself to assist the United States in protecting fur seals, there is no other course which will prevent the Canadian fishermen in the Bering sea from continuing their merciless slaughter. It is probable also t h a t Russia and Japan would join in retaliatory measures. N E W 8 Y C O N D E N S A T I O N S . Americans Implicated. The N e w York Journal confesses that t w o young men, commissioned to secure the liberty of Senorita Cisneros by assisting her to escape, were employed by that paper; that they rented a house adjoining the jail; that they managed to send a note, a file and a box of drugged candy to the young woman, notwithstanding she was in communicado.

Seen closely, she was a young woman of about flve-and-twcnty, with bold, black eyes, and a petulant mouthK significant of ill-temper. Directly she saw him she tossed her head and made a grimace. "So it is you!" she cried. "I thought you were dead, and burled." "And you did not mourn me?" returned Caussidiere, softly, with his most winning smile. "Well, I have come to ask you to sup with me tonight at the Cafe des Trente Etoiles." "I shall not come! I am engaged!" "Nonsense, Seraphine! You will come." "Of course she will come," cried the low comedian, breaking in. "My children, live in amity while you can, and drink of the best, for the Germans are approaching. Papa Corbert commands you—be merry, my children, while you may. Seraphine, Caussidiere is a king tonight; you will join him and drink confusion to the enemies of France." "Why did you not come before?" demanded Seraphine, sharply. "It Is a week since I have seen you. Were you nursing the baby at home?" "Ah, Caussidiere is a model husband," exclaimedMademoisolleBlanche; "he rocks the ci^dYe and goes to bed at ten." "Ladies," said Corbert, with mock solemnity, "I conjure you not to jest.cn such a subject. I am a family man rayself, as you are aware. Respect the altar! Venerate the household! And since the Germans are approaching—" "Bother the Germans!" interrupted Seraphine. "Let them come and burn Paris to the ground. I should not care. I tell you, Caussidiere, I have an engagement." "Don't believe her!" cried Corbert. "Seraphine will sup with you. She loves Brunet's oyster pates too well to deny you. Think of it, my child!

When the meal was done and the waiter had brought in the coffee, the pair sat side by side, and Caussidiere's arm stole round the lady's waist. "Take your arm away," she cried, laughing. "What would Madame Caus sidiere say if she saw you?" Caussidiere's face darkened. "Never mind her," he returned. "Ah, but I do mind! You are a bad man, and should be at home with your wife. Tell me, Caussidiere," she continued, watching him keenly, "does she know how you pass the time?" "She neither knows nor heeds," replied Caussidiere.

"I will tell you the simple truth,** replied Caussidiere, sinking his voice and nervously glancing toward the door. "In one sense, look you, I am married; in another, I am not married at all" "What nonsense you talk! Do you think I am Insane?" "I think you are an angel.** "Pshaw! Take your arm away." "Listen to me, Seraphine. The affair is very simple, as I will show you." "Bien! Goon!" "In a moment of impulse, for reasons which I need not explain, I married her of whom you speak, according to the English law. It was a foolish match, I grant you. and I have often repented It from the. moment when I met you." "Aprea?" murmured Seraphine, with a contemptuous shrug of, her little shoulders. "Apres?s Well, the aCair j . dear enough. 1 am a Seraphine!" He looked at her smilingly, with an expression of wicked meaning. She returned the look, laughing petulant* ly. "What of that?" she asked. "Do you not perceive? So long as I remain in my mother country, where no ceremony has taken place, this person is not my wife at all. The law is very convenient, is it not? A marriage in England with an English subject is no marriage unless it has been properly ratified in France." "Oh.but you are traitreux," she cried. "It is abominable. Why do you not do what is right, and acknowledge her according to the French law." "For a very good reason. There is some one I love better, as you know."- But the actress drew herself angrily away. "You love no one. You have no love in your heart. I tell you, Leon, I am sorry for her and for her child. There is a child, too, is there not?" "Yes," replied Caussidiere; "Does she know, this poor betrayed, what you have just told me?" "Certainly not. It would only—distress her!" "It is infamous!" exclaimed Seraphine. _ "Not at all," he answered. "She is very happy in her ignorance, I assure you. When the time comes, and it may come when you please, I will tell her the truth and she will quietly go home." There was a long pause. Seraphine continued to smoke., her cigarette and to glance from time to time with no very admiring eagerness at her companion. It was clear that the frank confession of his villainy had not raised him in her esteem. Seeing her coldness, and anxious to change the subject, he rang for the waiter and ordered the bill. While that document was being prepared he opened his purse and looked into it. The act seemed to remind him_of something he had forgotten. He felt in the pocket of his coat, and drew forth a small cardboard box. - — "I have something to show you," he said, smiling. Seraphine glanced up carelessly. "What is it, pray?" "It is this," replied Caussidiere,open<- ing the box and showing a gold bracelet richly wrought. "Do you think it pretty? Stay! Let me try it on your arm!" So saying, he clasped the bracelet on Seraphine's left wrist. Holding out her arm, she looked at it with assumed carelessness.but secret pleasure, for she was~ a true daughter of the theater, and loved ornament of any kind. "I see," she said, slyly. "A little present for madame!" "Diable! No, it is for you—if you will accept it" "No, thank you. Please take it away. Lwlll not take what belongs will throw it into the to another.' "Then I street!" At this moment the waiter returned with the bill. It amounted to a considerable sum, and when Caussidiere had settled it, and liberally feed the bringer, there was very little left in the purse. "You will wear the bracelet for my sake," said Caussidiere, softly, as he assisted theactress to put on her cloak. "No, no," answered Seraphine, but without attempting to take the bracelet off. "Apropos, Leon, where do you YOU do not work mATH. F-1'"«"-* f* fl h»"k ftTftt neighborhood of the Madeleine, She was posing for the benefit of the artist Immediately in front of her, bat her eyes were fixed not upon him. but upon the figure of a young man who was working hard at the other and of the room. Ever since she first dame to the studio, just three days before,Ade)e had watched the young man vary curiously. His behavior interested her. Ha seldom spoke, but worked at his picture with quiet pertinacity, Presently the young fellow dropped his brush and walked silently from the room. Adele turned her eyes upon her companion. "Who is your friend, monsieur?" she asked abruptly. The artist, deeply engaged In his work, failed at first to notice her question. "Who is he?" she asked again. "Her "Yes; the young man who works always and never speaks." ''He is a friend." "Naturally, monsieur, since he shares your studio. But where does be come from?" The artist smiled. "You seem curious about him, mademoiselle," he said. "What do you wish to know concerning him?" The girl shrugged her shoulders. "Wish to know!" she exclaimed. "Ma foi! I have no wish to know, monsieur." "Then I don't mind telling you. He is a countryman of mine. He was born in a village near where I was born. I knew him when he was a boy; and -when he came "to Paris "a few menths ago, determined to work hard and compelled to live on slender means, I offered to share my studio with him, and he is here. There, you have lost your fierce look and got quite a tame one Into your eyes. You are no longer a wild creature of the Revolution. You are also stiff, I perceive. Take a few turns about the rooms, mademoiselle, then we will go on." The artist walked over to a table littered with all kinds of debris, filled a well-colored briar-root pipe, and began to smoke. He was a tall man, slight in build, rather good-looking, but very carelessly dressed; when he walked, he did so with a slight limp, though he appeared to have well-knit limbs; and when he spoke French^, ha did so with a very strong insular aofteatuation. From himself Adele had leejpad nothing of his personal hiatocy. for ha was chary of giving « ^ i l n j > f ihforajatloo. and at tiiaea aaore tawiine*V ta work than talk. .- Having reaerred perastasjesj to raat^ Adala abaak hrtsalf lifte a jwong Wither, and leaped Mgktly froaVStha paav tram, walla new esnpkjyer. having lit his pipe, etroBad dH aadtfeft her to sola rrmraaanti of tks atadlr 8h» stood for a womuA t» sttaich bar limbs, already rrasapait with poewg, then strolled Hspngbtfqlry to the further end of tbe stadia, wnere the younger of the two jnaai ' had1 been working.

"I wish I were twenty times as rich, for your sake!" cried Caussidiere, evading the question. "Ah, my Seraphine, I adore you!" He drew her toward him and kissed her on the lips. The present of the bracelet had prevailed.and she suffered the salute patiently; but there was an expression in her face which showed that she rated her admirer exactly at his true worth. A few minutes later Caussidiere, with the actress hanging, on his arm, gayly quitted tbe cafe.

Committees were appointed for tbe different work and a good time is looked for. W e are informed that one or more officers of tbe Supreme Division will be present and enjoy the evening with the members. It in expected that there will be a candidate for initiation and the ladies will have a chance to see the workings of the ritual. Of course a banquet will be served and it is hoped all members will try and be present. The fore part of the evening will be devoted to the nomination of officers so it is desired that all members report early for duty. — , — , — . » # » » A Very Pleasant Time. Nearly one hundred of the members and friends of the M. E. church went to the parsonage on Friday evening last and tendered the pastor, Rev. W. T. Wallace and family, a reception in tbe shape of a surprise pound party. The necessities of life in the shape of sugar, honey, tea, coffee and other provisions were heaped upon the table, while corn, potatoes, and vegetables were piled up in the back room. The company enjoyed a couple of hours of social chat and became acquainted with the new pastor and fatnily and then returned home leaving behind them their best wishes for a successful year and taking with them happy hearts.

Mr. Andre* is unavoidably postponed on account of the Inclemency of $»• weather, They tell ot women who are habitual cologne drinkers. Perhaps the poor things are not aware that cologne la intended solely for outward application. from the Following T M M Job, Chapter • „ Verse «e« "At » Sh,p«k of Cora Cometh l a In HU 8e»*oo."—The U»r» T M ( Waiting for the Lord* •v i1" When Shakespeare wrote, "Farewell the neighing steed," he was not thinking of the displacing bicycle, but his prophetic spirit could aot better ha*fi foretold the decision of many an enthusiastic wheelman, grain come in; ouToFthe frosfsTlSW the sunshine, out of the darkness Into "Every horse swapper in Georgia" was invited to attend a Horse Swappers' State Convention held in Covington, Sefct 21-23. We do not learn that the pautictans made any protest; but In soine states such a call would indicate that the projector planned to unite all the flnanciers.orators and statesmen, and start a winning political party. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands has dismissed the princeling picked out by her mother, and affirm that she means to wait until 1899— when she will be nineteen years o l d - end then choose a husband for herself. What the Dutch statesmen think, is not reported, but all young ladies of Wilhelmlna's age are convinced that, under such a queen, Holland will be a good country to live in. There has been a meeting of the Emperor of Germany and the King of Italy at Horn burg, with the usual accompaniment of banquets, toasts and military reviews. Emperor William's speech was noticeable for the emphasis which he placed upon the Dreibund —the alliance between Germany, Austria and Italy—and his declaration that it stands "unshakable and firm." King Humbert's reply was cordial, but less emphatic. • • Another tribute to American manufacturing superiority is conveyed by the announcement that Japan is about to .abandon the English steel rail on her imperial railway, and substitute for it the heavier American rail, known as the Pennsylvania standard. Japan is a wide-awake country, with keen commercial instincts, and her preference for American manufactures, if sufficiently encouraged, may do much to chang* the existing trade relations in the far East. The late Sir Isaac Holden, who died recently la England at the age of ninety- one, had an interesting career. He was the son of a working miner, and began work himself at the age of ten, but his thirst for knowledge led him to seize every opportunity of study. He Invented the lucifer match while teaching in a school at Reading. Before he was thirty he had made Important Inventions in woolen machinery, and he soon became the head of an enormous manufacturing business which now employs four thousand workmen in its factories in England, France and Belgium. • His habits of life were simple, and his -conduct was shaped by strong religious convictions. OlNG at the rate of forty miles the hour a few days ago I caught this sermon. If you have recently been in the fields of Pennsylvania, or New Jersey,or New York, or New England, or any of the country districts, you know that corn is nearly all cut. The sharp knife struck through the stalks and left them all along the fields until a man came with a bundle of straw and twisted a few of these wisps of straw into a band, and then gathering up as 'much of the corn as he could compass Wijth his arms, he bound it with this {wisp of straw, and then stood it in the 'field in what is called a shock. I It is estimated that there are now 'several billion bushels of corn standing in the shock, waiting to be husked. Sometime during the latter part of next month, the farmers will gather, one day on one farm, another day on another farm, and they will put on their rough Quaking apron, and they will' take the husking peg, which is a piece of iron with a leather loop fastened to the hand, and with it unsheath the cor •from the husk and toss it into the golden heap. Then the wagons will come along and take it to the corn ;crib. ( I " '(' How vividly to all those of ui who jwere born in the country comesAhe remembrance of husking time, we wait- Jed for it as for a gala day in/the year. jit was called a frolic. The/rees having for the most part shed their foliage, ;the farmers waded through the fallen leaves and came through the keen The official figures of the worktag In Germany for the year 1896 of the system of compulsory cooperative insurance have made their appearance, and they show the number of persons so insured to have been 18.SS9.000, of whom 3,409,- 000 were employes In shops or factories, 12,290,000 were agricultural laborers, and 690,000 employes were of the state. The number of accidents to the insured was 74,897, of which 6,448 terminated fataljy. The expense of the ro-opfxa morning air to the gleeful company The frosts which had/silvered everything during the night began to melt oft of the top of the corn shocks. 'While the farmers/were waiting for jothers, they stood blowing their breath through their flngers.or threshing their jafma. arounds their body to keep up (Warmth of circulation. j Roaring mirth greeted the late farmer as he crawled over the fence. Joke ,and repartee and rustic salutation abounded. All ready, now! The men take hold the shock of corn, and hurl jit prostrate, while the moles and mice .which have secreted themselves there for warmth attempt escape. The withe of straw is unwound from the corn 'shock, and the stalks, heavy with the wealth of grain, are rolled into two bundles, between which the husker sits down. Tne husking peg is thrust in until it strikes the corn, and then the fingers rip off the sheathing of the ear, and there is a crack as the root of the corn is snapped off from the husk, and the grain, disimprisoned, Is hurled up into the sunlight. The air is so tonic, the work is so very exhilarating, the company is so blithe, that some laugh, and some shout and some sing, and some banter, and some tease a neighbor for a romantic ride along the edge of the woods in an eventide, in a carriage that holds-but two, and some prophesy as to the number of bushels to the field, and others go into competition as to which shall rifle the most corn shocks before sundown. After a while, the dinner horn sounds from the farmhouse, and the table is surrounded by a group of jolly and It is moving out of a cold vestibule in- of glass mingled with fire.

It is a change ot manacles for garlands. It la the transmuting of the iron handcuffs ot earthly incarceration into the diamonded wristleteof a bridal party; or to use the suggestion of my text, it Is only husking time. It is the tearing off of the rough sheath of the body that the bright and the beautiful soul may go free. Coming in "like a shock of corn cometh in in his season." Christ broke up a funeral procession at the gate of Nain by making a resurrection day for a young man uud his mother. And I would that I could broak up your sadness, and halt the long funeral procession of the -world's grief by some cheering and cheerful view of the last transition. We all know that husking time was a time of frost. Frost on the fence, Frost on the stubbie. Frost on the ground. Frost on the bare branches Of the trees. Frost in the air. Frost on the hands of the huskers. You remember we used to hide behind the corn stacks so as to keep off the wind, but still you remember how shivering was the body and how painful was the cheek, and how benumbed were the hands. ' But after awhile the sun was high up.and ull the frosts went out of the a^r, and hilarities awakened the echoes aud joy from one corn shock weni up, "Aha, aha!" and was answered by/joy from another corn shock, 'Aha, aha!" I So we realize that the death of our [/friends is the nipping of many expectations, the freezing, the chilling, the frosting of many of our hopes. It Is far from being a south wind. It comes from the frigid north, and when they go away from us we stand benumbed in body and benumbed in mind and benumbed in soul. We stand among our dead neighbors, our dead families, and we say, "Will we ever get over it?" Yes, we will get over it amid the shoutings of heavenly reunion, and we will look back to all these distresses of bereavement only as the temporary distresses of husking time. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." "Light, and but for a moment,-' said the apostle as he clapped his hands, "light, and but for a moment." The chill of the frosts followed by the gladness that cometh in "like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season." * * * Perhaps now this may be an answer to a question which I asked one Sabbath morning, but did not answer: Why is it that so many really good people have so dreadfully'to suffer? You often find a good man with enough pains and aches and distresses, you would think, to discipline a whole colony, while you find-a man who is perfectly usejess going about with easy digestion and steady nerves and shining health, and his exit from the world is comparatively painless. How do you explain that? Well, I noticed in the husking time that the husking peg was thrust into the corn and then there must be a stout pull before the swathing was taken off of the ear, and the full, round, healthy, luxuriant corn was developed; while on the other hand there was corn that hardly seemed worth husking. We threw that into a place all by Itself and we called It "nubbins." Some of it was mildewed, and some of it was mice nibbled, and some of it was great promise and no fulfilment. All cobs and no corn. Nubbins! After the good corn had been driven up to the barn we came around with the corn basket and we picked up these nubbins- They were worth saving, but not worth much. So all around us there are people who amount to nothing. They develop into no kind of usefulness. They are nibbled on one side 0UK liUDttliT Oi FCTN. hungry men.

Whether OB account of the growth of the manufacturing industries or for some other reason, the number ot accidental deaths la a year _ larger In Germany than in any other country of Earope, and presumably, though there are no authentic Hgnres in connection with the matter, the number ot accidents -not resulting fatally is larger in Germany than in any other European country,too. Under tne German system a workingman who pays the equivalent of 40 cents a week for three years, if he begins before the age of 20, receives, on attaining the age of 66, the sum of $77. The German compulsory insurance system divides me annual premium into three equal parts, one paid by the workman, one by his employer and one by the state. In other countries in which efforts have been made to establish on the place the richest dainties come, and there is carnival and neighborhood reunion, and a scene which fills our memory, part with smiles but more with tears as we remember that the They are worth saving. I suppose many of them will get to heaven, but farm belongs now to other owners, and other hands gather in the fields, and many of those who mingled in that merry husking scene have themselves been reaped "like as a stock ot oerh cometh in in his season." There Is a difference of opinion as to whether the Orientals knew anything about the corn as it stands in our fields; but recent discoveries have found out that the Hebrew knew all about Indian maize, for there have been grains of the corn picked up out of ancient crypts and exhumed from hiding places where they were put down many centuries ago, and they have been planted in our time and have come up just such Indian maize as we raise in New York and Ohio; so I am right when I say that my text may refer to a shock of corn just as you and I bound it, just as you and I threw it, just as you and I huaked i*. There may come some practical-and co-operative accident insurance the re- . ^$^ and comforting lessons to all turns have not been so favorable as in Germany. In France, for instance, where the number of employes in factories is large, though not so large as In Germany, the total receipts from premiums from accident insurance policies last year were only about one- \ Quarter of the sum realised in Gertaanr our souls, while we think ot coming in at last "like a shock of corn coming in in his season." It Is high time that the King ot Terrors were thrown out of the Christian vocabulary. A vast multitude of people talk ot death as though it were the disaster of disasters instead ot being to a pood man the blessing jf they are not worthy to be mentioned in the same day with those who went through great tribulation into the kingdom of our God. Who would not rather have the pains of this lite, the misfortunes of this life—who would not rather be torn, and wounded, and lacerated, and wrenched, and husked and at last go in amid the very best grain ot the granary, than to be pronounced not worth husking at all? Nubbins! In other words, I want to say to you people who have distress of body, and j distress in business and distress of all sorts, the Lord has not any grudge { against you. It is not derogatory, it is complimentary. "Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth," and it is proof positive that there it something valuable in you, or the Lord would not have \ husked you. Now,in heaven all their offensivenws has. been, iiusked off. Each one is as happy as he can be. Every one he meets as happy as he can be. Heaven one great neighborhood reunion. All kings and Queens, all songsters, all millionaires, all banqueters. God, the Father, with his Children all around him. No "good by" in all the air. No grave cut in all the hills. River of crystal rolling e*er bed of pearl, under arch of chrysoprasus, Into the sea the light, out of the tearing and th« ripping and the twisting and the wrenching and the lacerating and the husking time of earth into the wide open door of the king's granary, "like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season." Yes, heaven, a great sociable, with joy like the joy of the husking time. No one there feeling so big he declines to speak to some one who is not so large. Archangel willing to listen to smallest cherub. No bolting of the door of caste at one heavenly mansion to keep out the citizen of a smaller mansion. No clique in one corner, whispering about a clique in another corner. David taking none of the airs ot a giant killer. Joshua making no one halt until he passes, because he made the sun and moon hajt. Paul making no assumptions over the most ordinary preacher of righteousness. Naaman, captain of the Syrian host, no more honored than the captive maid who told him where he should get a good doctor. O! my BOUI, what a country! The humblest man a king. The poorest woman a queen. The meanest house a palace. The shortest life time eternity. And what is more strange about it all is, we may all get there. "Not I," says some one standing back under the galleries. Yes.you. "Not I," says some one who has not been in church in fifteen years before. Yes, you. "Not I," says some one who has been for fifty years filling up his life with all kinds of wickedness. Yes, you. There are monopolies on earth, monopolistic railroads and monopolistic telegraph companies, and monopolistic grain dealers, but no monopoly in religion. All who want to be saved may be saved, "without money and without price." Salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ for all the people. Of course, use common sense in this matter. You cannot expect to get to Charleston by taking ship for Portland, and you can not expect to get to heaven by going in an opposite direction. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. Through that one gate of pardon and peace all the race may go In. "But," says some one, "do you really think I would be at home in that supernal society if I should reach it?" I think you would. I know you would. I remember that in the husking time there was a great equality of feeling among the neighbors. There at one corn shock a farmer would be at work who owned two hundred acres of ground. The man whom he was talking with at the next corn shock owned but thirty acres of ground, and perhaps all covered by a mortgage. That evening, at the close, of the husking day, one man -drove home a roan span, so frisky, so full of life, they got their feet over the traces. The other man walked home. Great difference in education, great difference in worldly means; but I noticed at the husking time they all seemed to enjoy each other's society. They did not ask any man how much property he owned cr what his education had been. They all seemed to be happy together in those good times. And So it will be in heaven. Our Father will gather his children around him, and the neighbors will come in, and the past will be rehearsed. And some one will tell of victory, and we will all celebrate it. And some one will tell of great struggle, and we will all praise the grace that fetched him out of it. And some one will say, "Here is my old father, that I put away with heartbreak. Just look at him, he is as young as any of us." And some one will say, "Here is my darling child. that I buried in Greenwood, and all the after years of my life were shadowed with desolation. Just look at her! She doesn't seem as if she had been } sick a minute." Great sociality. Great neighborhood kindness.

Edward Gibbon, the great historian, sat in parliament for many years, but : achieved no success in the house. One morning, he tells us, "as he was destroying an army of barbarians," a knock came to the door, and the tempter appeared In the shape of a friend offering to secure him a seat in parliament tor. the borough of Liskeard. Gibbon represented the borough tor ten years (1774-1783) without ever openln* his mouth; and once when moved to 4 o so he lacked the confidence to carry him through. The great speakers filled him with despair, and the bad ones with terror. He grew heart tired ot "this parliamentary prattle" and of "the noise and nonsense ot the Pandemonium," as he terms parliament la his letters. Squire—"Is it a fast horse, Eras- Itus?"

D . • Cook, whose address is N o . 18 Michigan Street, Grand Rapids. He says: — " I have used Doan's Kidney Pills and wish to say it is a truly great medicine. Thirty years ago I had nervous prostration while in the army, where I served for I over four years. I think it was during i this service that the seeds were sown which ' have caused all my trouble. Severe bilious attacks bothered me, and at such times my kidneys were worse. It is almost impossible to describe the pain which so often lamed me. I have been so lame that to stand up after I had been sitting down required a great exertion. Walking was at times an impossibility, even at night I did not rest, being forced to get up during the night. I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and wondered if they could make an almost lame man well. I got some; and soon after taking them began to feel their good effects. I used them for some time, m y lameness all left me and I have not felt It since. Doan's Kidney Pills have done me an inestimable amount of good." For sale by ail dealers, price 60 cents. Mailed b y Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, K. f., sole agents for the IT. 8. Remember the name.

Savfral months ago, t h s Japanata Taa Guild sent to this country a special commission, composed of Mr. 8. Mit- •uhaahl, president of ShUuoka Prefeetural Assembly, and Mr. J. Ohara.member of Japaneae parliament, to Investigate t h e condition of the Japaneae taa trade i n the United States and Canada, and t o co-operate with Mr. T. F u m y a and Mr. T. Mizutany, t h e American representatives of the Japaneae Tea Guild, In giving publicity t o the merits of Japanese teas and the method of preparing them for drinking wL.ch would Insure the best results. Mr. Puruya and Mr. Mizutany are planning to open t e a bazars in many of the principal cities i n the United States and Canada, where ladies can enjoy a cup of fine Japaneae t e a made by experts, and a t the same time receive instructions which will enable them t o make It equally well at home. More than half t h e t e a consumed i n the United States and Canada Is of Japanese growth, yet, the majority of Americans apparently do not understand how to prepare it so as to develop the delicious qualities which It contains. It is believed by these gentlemen that when Americans are In possession of the secret of making good tea, the consumption in this country will fully equal t h a t of Europe in proportion. T h e Japanese government has appropriated a large fund to aid the Japanese tea growers and tea merchants in prosecuting this educational work, and It is hoped that American ladies will be apt students. The main bureau of the Japanese Tea Guild has issued an official recipe for making Japanese tea, the translation of which is as follows: First—Use a small,dry and thoroughl y clean porcelain t e a p o t Second—Put in o n e teaspoonful of tea leaves for each c u p of tea desired. Third—When using Japanese teas, pour o n the required quantity of fresh boiled water, and let stand with closed lid from 2 to 3 minutes. Never boil t h e leaves. In order t o retain the natural flavor, Japanese tea leaves should be kept In tight c a n or jar, free from moisture. Note.—-To thoroughly enjoy t h e natural, delicate, and s w e e t flavor of Japaneae teas, neither sugar nor cream should be used. —CTesuli uses begins within.—ffarmaVunVT d e a n inside, he is far from Godliness.

Dana Dead. Charles A. Dana, editor of the York Sun, died at his home in Cove, L. I., at the age of 78. Mr. Danu's death had been expected for several hours and his family and physicians were at his bedside when the end came. The cause of Mr. Dana's death was cirrhosis of the liver. On June 9 he was at the office apparently strong and healthy. The next day he was taken ill and he never afterward visited New York. By the death of Charles Anderson Dana America loses one of the most brilliant journalists she has ever known. He was born Aug. 8, 1819, and entered the newspaper business in the '40s as a reporter on the Boston Chronotype.

Soon after the civil war begun Mr. Dana severed connections with Mr. Greeley owing to differences on questions pertaining to the conduct of the war. Mr. Dana was appointed to several positions in the state department and finally President Lincoln made him assistant secretary of war. When the war was over he wentr to Chicago, and for a year acted as editor of the Republican. Then he returned to New York and organized the company which • now publish's t'ne New York Sun. The Sun was already au old-established journal, having first appeared in 1833, but Mr. Dana's own work and the picked men he placed about him at oncis transformed it into the leading paper of the day and established a reputation and a circulation which has since been the envy of all the other metropolitan newspapers.

Great Britain Opposes Bimetallism. London: The Times in its financial article says it believes that the cabinet -hasdecided to decline to reopen Jthe Indian mints or to enter au international monetary conference.

The United States bimetallic monetary commissioners have received np official information regarding the action taken by the British cabinet, but private advices convince them that the cabinet has dealt the death blow to their mission. The commissioners believe their failure means that no further effort in behalf of bimetallism will be m;ule for many years to come. They attribute the refusal of Great Britain to participate in an international agreement to the opposition of the bankers and the London Times.

"My friend!" exclaimed the girl; "ah, no, monsieur, she is not that— •he is* too good for that—and if she used to be his friend, tell him he ought to help her. She wants some one's help." "Probably," returned the Scotchman; "but It's a dangerous thing, my girl, to interfere between husband and wife, and my friend will do -well to keep out of it. There, that, will do for this morning, Adele," he added, as she leaped from the rostrum; "take my advice, and say nothing of this incident to madame your friend. It may unsettle her, and make the end 0* her married life rather more' unbearable than the beginning of it." He lit up his pipe again and strolled carelessly about the studio until Adele had left. Then his manner suddenly changed; he left the studio, rushed up a flight of stairs, and entered the little snuggery above, where his companion was sitting, and clapped him on the shoulder. "Sutherland^ my boy," he exclaimed, "good news." Sutherland, awakened suddenly from his day-dream, started from his chair. "About Marjorle?" he cried. "Yes," returned his friend with a smile, "about Marjorle. I have been talking this morning with a woman who Is oae of her intimate friends." "Where Is she?" exclaimed Sutherland. "Let me see her." "Now, look here, my good fellow," returned the other, "you "must sit down and cease to excite yourself. Moreover, you must work cautiously, or my prize may turn out a blank. Yes, I have discovered In the model Adele one who may tell you just what you want to know—wfto is often in the house with Marjorle, who knows exactly how happy or how wretched •he may be, and who, if properly handled, may be made to. tell you all. But you must be careful, as I have said, for she is a rough creature, and might turn stubborn. She is gone now, but she will return tomorrow, and you shall talk to her. Think it over, and decide for yourself the best way to act." He descended to the studio, while Sutherland sank again into his chair to think of Marjorle. He spent a singularly restless night; the next morning he looked pale and harassed. But after breakfast when he entered the studio he was. quite calm. He was working with his customary ardor when the studio door opened and Adele came in. The moment she appeared he sprang up and accosted her. "I am glad you have come," he said, 1n doubtful French. "I—I wish to speak to you about a lady whom you know well. Yes; Nairn, my friend, has told me that you know her." Adele fixed her wild eyea upon the" young man, and then, with a curious enlle, pointed to a portrait "You mean her?" she asked. "Yes, yea! Tell me all you know concerning her. I am interested In her—deeply interested. My friend tells me that you sometimes visit the house, though how or why I cannot guess. What takes you there?" "I carry a message sometimes from the cabaret/' answered Adele. "And you see her?—you speak to fcer?" "Why not?" said the girl! somewhat defiantly, for she read in the young nan's face no little astonishment that Marjorle should see such company. "Yes, I see her—and the child. She is like that picture, but changed, older. But there, perhaps you sometimes see her for yourself." "Only from a distance," answered Sutherland- "I have not spoken to her, she does not know that I am In Paris. But I hare seen enough," he added, sadly, "to suspect that she is unhappy sad neglected. Is that so?" Adele looked at him for some moments in silence, then she said, with the low, harsh laugh habitual to her: "You know little or nothing, monsieur. If you will swear not to betray me, I can tell you much more of her—and her husband. Dlable, I should love to do him an ill turn, and her a good one. Will you swear?" "Yea," anawered Sutherland, startled by the girl's strange manner. "For God's sake, tell me all you know." Upon being farther questioned, It' seemed that Adele knew really yetj little concerning Marjorle herself. She ciuld only tell Sutherland what he had already, j y o.uiet observation, das-" •overs* for faints** that Marjorie PRESS ASSOCIATION. seemed unhappy; that there was no sympathy between herself and her husband; that, indeed, she seemed to fear him. About Caussidiere himself, Adele was much more explicit—indeed, she seemed to be pretty well acquainted with his secret life, and spoke of It without reserve. Suddenly she asked: "Do you know Mademoiselle Seraphine, of the Chartelet?" "No." "Well, Caussidiere does." "What of that?" "Well," repeated Adele, "how dull ^ou are, monsieur. You ask me just now why Caussidiere neglects his wife, amd I tell you." "He has an intrigue with an actress?" "Not exactly. He simply prefers her* company. When Madame Mere sends a little check, Caussidiere changes it, gives Seraphine a little supper, and leaves his wife to mind the baby at home. Voila tout." She turned as If about to leave him, but Sutherland called her back. "Mademoiselle Adele, I—I am not a rich man, but Madame Caussidiere has friends who will not see her want. You have access to. her, I have not; you can give her some money—" Adele laughed aloud. "That is so like a man," she said. "Give her money! I give her money, who can earn but a few sous by singing at a cafe? She would think I stole it. Besides, she does not want money, monsieur." Again she turned to go, and again he detained her. "Adele, you see madame very often, do you not?" "I go when I can. I like the boy." "Women can often say a word of comfort to each other. You won't say that you ever met me, but if you c^n make her happier by a word sometimes—" He paused in some confusion, and held forth a napoleon. Adele laughed again, and roughly tossed his. hand aside. "Bah! kfndnese is not to be bought from Adele of the Mouche d'Or. I shall see her often, for, as I said, I like the child." During the few days which followed Sutherland was like a-man entranced —utterly bewildered as to what he should do. Once or twice he saw Marjorle walking with her little boy in the streets of Paris, and he fancied that her face looked more c ire worn than ever. He dared not speak to her. It would be better, he thought, to make his presence known to Caussidiere, and to give that gentleman plainly to understand that unless Marjorie's life were made more bearable to her, the checks from Miss Hetherlngton would inevitably cease. That would be the only way to touch Caussidiere's heart—it was the surest way to proceed, and Sutherland determined tojaet upon it. One morning—some two days after his interview with Adele—he left his rooms with the determination to find Caussidiere. "So engrossed was he with this new idea that for the time being he forgot all else. He walked through the streets, along the boulevards. He was wondering how and where he should carry out his design, when he was suddenly startled by the sound of his own name. He started, turned quickly, and found himself face to face with Marjorle. For a moment he could say nothing. A mist was before his eyes, and his rising tears choked him; bat he held forth his hands to grasp her trembling fingers. "Johnnie," she said, "it la really you! Oh, I am so glad, so glad!** He brushed away the mist which was Minding his eyes and looked at her again. Her cheeks were suffused, her eyes sparkled, and a sad smile played about the corners of her mouth. She looked at that moment something like the Marjorle whom he had known years before. The change lasted only for a moment, then her face became paler and sadder than it had been before, and her voice trembled as she said: "Johnnie, yon must tell me now how they all are at Dumfries." " She sat down on one of the beaches Sutherland took his seat beside her. "I was sitting here," she said, "wheat I saw you pass. At first I csuld not believe it was you, it seemed so strange that yon should be In Parte, that I should ir**et a friend from Scotland.** The tears cams into her eyes again, s a d he* 7oice trembled. Turning "Leon, mon petit," she said, placing her hand upon her child's golden ©urli; then turning to Sutherland she said: "This is my little boy." As little Leon was not conversant with English, Sutherland addressed him in the best French at his command. He took the child on bis knee, and the three sat together to talk over old times. "It seems so strange, I can hardly believe It is real," said Majorie. "Tell me how long have you been in Paris, and bow long will you stay?" "How i/>ng I shall stay I don't know/' i Id Sutherland. "I have been here several months." "Several months?" repeated Marjorle, "and I see you today for the first time." "I thought it would be better for us both, Marjorle, that I should keep away." Perhaps she understood his meaning, for she turned the conversation to other things. He told her of the changes which had taken place in Annandale; that the old .servant Mysie lay with the minister sleeping in the kirkyard; that a large family filled the manse; and that Miss Hetherington was the only being who, amidst all this changing, remained unchanged. A gray, weary, worn-out woman, she dwelt alone in Annandale Castle. Holding little Leon by the hand, they strolled quietly along under the trees. Presently they came to one of the many merry-go-rounds which are to be found in the Champs Elysees. Merry children were riding on the wooden horses, and mothers and nursery-maids were looking on. Here little Leon clamored for a ride, and Sutherland placed him on one of the horses. As he rode round and round, uttering cries of infantine delight, Marjorle looked on with heightened color, here eyes full of mother's tender rapture; and, gazing upon her, Sutherland thought to himself: "Poor Marjorle! She loves her husband for her child's sake. I have no right to come between them." When the ride was done and the three passed on together, Marjorle seemed to have forgotten al her trouble and to look her old smiling self, but Sutherland's heart sank in deep dejection. Close to the Madeleine they parted, with a warm handshake and a promise to meet again. From that day forth Marjorle and Sutherland met frequently, and walked together in the Bois de Boulogne er on the boulevards, with little Leon for a companion. At her. express entreaty he refrained from speaking to Caussidiere, though he saw that, despite her attempts at cheerfulness, her face sometimes wore an expression of increasingpain,_. He began to suspect that there was something very wrong indeed; and he determined to discover, if possible, the exact relations existing between Marjorle and her husband. Meantime, the meetings with his old sweeheart were full of an abundant happiness, tempered with sympathetic distress. CHAPTER XXIX.

Day after day, and s o m e t lines night after night, Cattssld i e r e w a s from home, and when he was there his manner toward his wife and child was almost brutal. Marjorle bore her lot with exemplary docility and characteristic gentleness; but one day her patience gave way. She received a communication—an anonymous letter—which ran as follows, but in the French tongue: "Madame—When your husband » not with you he i s with Mademoiselle gfrwtpMfiA of the Chatelet" Marjorle read the letter ttaoafth twice, then folded it s*4 pet tt in her pocket Caussidiere w a s ' late home that night; indeed, it was nearly two o'clock before his latch-key was put In the door; yet when he mounted the stairs he found that sfarjarie was artting, up for him. "Dlable, what are yos doing here?" "Where have you been so late, Leon?" she quietly replied. He stared at her with an ominous frown as he said: -What Is that to you? Go Co bed." - Seeing well that he was in no mood to be questioned, she obeyed aim; but the next morning, when they ware sitting at breakfast, she returned to the subject again. / "Leon," she said, "where Is It that you go M T often when you are Away from me*f* .

It is claimed, reduces the manufacturer's cost to less than 2 cents per pound of syrup (if the beets are bought at $5 per ton) and leaves only 10 per cent residue. The syrup thus made is the best in the markets, as to quality and taste, and contains, according to the official analysis of a German government chemist and expert, no injurious substances whatever.—Ex.

A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a very severe cold that caused him to be in a most miserable condition. It was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe and recognizing it as dangerous he took immediate steps to bring about a speedy cure. From the advertisement of Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy and the many recommendations included therein, we concluded to m a k e the first trial of the * medicine. To eay that it was satisfactory in its results is putting it very mildly indeed. I t acted like magic and the result was a speedy permanent cure. We have no hesitancy in recommending this excellent Cough Remedy to any one afflicted with a cough or cold in any form.—The Banner of Liberty, Liberty town, Maryland. 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by F.

The Driving Club had another auoosaafal day of races on Saturday last. While the fore part of the day was foggy and damp, it cleared away ju»t before noon and a good crowd was present although it was not so large as it would have been had it been bright and clear in the morning. The ball game was won by the visiting team by a score of 10 to 2. We say visiting team for it would be hard to tell just where they came from. Detroit, Syracuse, M. A. C. and most every town but Brighton. Moran scored a point by striking out the Syracuse man and he took his seat like a whipped school-boy. The Pinckney's played their own team and found the Detroit pitcher on the start. but struck too many balls in the air. The umpires were Kuhn and Boyce. The races were all full and some good work done although the track was somewhat heavy and only \ mile races were|driveu. The winners were as follows: Named Jtace:—Col. Reg, (Phelps,) 1st; Mamie C, (Newman,) 2nd; Cruise J.f (Allen,) 3rd; Roxie Ann and Sailor Boy also started. 3 Minute Bace:—Jim Bailey, (Galagher,) 1st; Brown Joe, (Nixon.) 2nd: Maud W., (White,) 3rd; Bed Feather, Wild Dick, Dick Wagner and McPhee started. .._. Free For All:—Go Some, (Swarthout,) 1st; Riverside, (Wheeler,) 2nd; Mason Nutwood, (Gregory,) 3rd. Running Race:—Flora B., (Brogan) 1st, Maud R„ (Russell.) 2nd; Duster, (Monks,) 3rd; Mollie B., (Spears,) 4th. It was too late to finish the running race Saturday and four heats were run Monday forenoon to finish up the race. The only objectionable thing about the day's sport was the gambling games on the ground but the board informed us that the gamers stole a march on them and they were sorry but it eould not be helped this time. However they assured u& that such a thing would not occur again. The sport on +he grounds has-so far been clean and the managers will endeavor to keep it so. The track has been a success this .season and this winds up the sport. THIS AND THAT. The first envelope ever used is in the possession of the British muiMffl.

Let the south, which boasts largely of its courage, take that view of lynching and that kind of lawlessness will some 'lay end. And is it not the right view? Think of hundreds or thousands against one man, thirsting for his blood, too often without regard to his guilt or innocence. About the time that the camp meeting at Old Orchard claimed to bo engaged in the work of casting out devils there was a wild outburst of negro religious frenzy in Mountville, South Carolina, over the alleged capture of the original and only complete devil. . It was proposed to bury his suppositious majesty, and it was thought that immediately thereafter the judgment would arrive. But we can't Bee that there is any improvement in any situation, any more than there has been during the long period which has been largely given up to the annihilation of the diabolical wretch. And does not the sultan still live? EVBNTEKN miles south of Rome, Italy, there was a village of unfortunate name. A tavern is a place of entertainment. In our time part of the entertainment Is a provision of intoxicants. x One such place you would think would have been enough for that Italian village. No, there were three of them, with doors open for entertainment and obfuscation. The world has never lacked stimulating drinks. You remember the condition of Noah on one occasion, and of Abigail's husband, Natal, and the story of Belshazsar's feast, and Benhadad, and the new wine in old bottles, and whole paragraphs on prohibition enactment thousands of years before Neal Dow was born; and no doubt there were whole shelves of inflammatory liquid in those hotels which gave the name to the village where Paul's friends came to meet him, namely, the Three Taverns. In vain I search ancient geography for some satisfying account of that village. Two roads came from the sea coast to that place; the one from Actium, and the other from Puteoli, the last road being the one which Paul traveled. There were, no doubt, in that village houses of merchandise and mechanics' shops, and professional offices,' but nothing, is known of them. All that we knowxof that village is that it had a profusion of inns—the Three Taverns. Paul did not choose any one of these taverns as the place to meet his friends.

A large part of the trip was made under trying conditions, over mountains, and "on slmdy "or~ muddy road*, with an occasional fording of str«»ams; the men living meanwhile on the regulation field and travel ration. The health of the command was excellent, and none of the soldiers were disabled; the commander thinks that the practicability of the bicycle as a means of military transportation is demonstrated. Two years ago a man was lynched in Alabama for ad offense against a woman. The Job was done in a rather dramatic manner and the populace seemed well satisfied when all was over. The leaders of the job were applauded on all Bides,and it was thought that an end had been put to deeds of the kind In that vicinity. Now comes the news from the same point to the effect that the man who led the lynching party of two years ago has been, arrested for a similar offense to the one for which those who go down to the sea in ships he showed so much Indignation, all at which goes to show that men who lead mobs never do so from proper motives. The leader of a mob is always a coward, generally a sneak and nine times out of ten a moral degenerate. Let the world brand the would-be heroes of this sort of Justice with the brand of infamy and there will be fewer lynching*. Some figures obtained by the United States Marine Hospital bureau, comparing 1896 with 1890, show favorably for Illinois and Chicago. In 1890 the dea^h rate o£ Illinois was 24.01 for errery 1,000 of population. In 1896 this death rt£e was seduced to 14.01 per 1,000 population, showing a reduction of 42 per cent in thfc death rate of the state. In rate la 1890 was 21.19 per 1,000 population, and in 1896 it was onl. 14.86 per 1,000 population, showing that Chicago, the second city In the Union in population, made subfor thy stomach's sake." One of the worst things about these Three^Taverns w a s t h a t t h e y had especial temptation for those who had just come ashore. People who had just landed at Actium or Puteoli were soon tempted by these three hqtejs. which were only a little way up from the beach. Those who are disordered of the sea (forit is a physical disorganizer), instead of waiting for the gradual return of physical equipose, are apt to take artificial means to brace up. Of the one million sailors now. on the- sea, how few of them comiug ashore will and the story of earthly disasters shall be fully told, will it be known how many yachts, steamers, brlgatines.menof- war and ocean greyhounds have been lost through captain and crew made incompetent by alcoholic dethronement. Admiral Farragut had proper appreciation of what the fiery stimulus was to a man in the navy. An officer of the warship said to him, "Admiral, won't you consent to give Jack a glass of grog in the morning? Not enough to make him drunk, but enough to make him fight cheerfully." The admiral answered, "I have been to sea considerably, and have seen a battle or two. but I never found that I, needed rum to enable me to do my duty. I will order two cups of coffee to each man at two o'clock in the morn* ing, and at eight o'clock I will pipe all hands to breakfast in Mobile Bay." The Three Taverns of my text were too near the Mediterranean shipping. But notice the multiplicity. What could that Italian village, so small that history makes but one mention of it, want with more than one tavern? There were not enough travelers coming through that insignificant town to support more than one house of lodgment. That would have furnished enough pillows and enough breakfasts. No, the world's appetite Is diseased, and the subsequent draughts must be taken to slack the thirst created by the preceding draughts. Strong drink kindles the fires of thirst faster than it puts them out. There were three taverns. That which cursed that Italian village curses all Christendom today— too many taverns. There are streets in some of our cities where there are three or four taverns in every block; aye, where every other house Is a tavern. You can take the Arabic numeral of my text, the three, and put on the right hand side of it one cipher/and two ciphers, and four ciphers, and that re-enforcement of numerals will not express the statistics of American rummerles. Even if it were a good, healthy business, supplying necessity, an article superbly nutritious, it Is a business mightily overdone, and there are Three Taverns where there ought to be only one. The fact fs. there are in another sense Three Taverns now; the gorgeous Tavern for the affluent, the medium Tavern for the working classes, and the Tavern of the slums, and they stand in line, and many people beginning with the first-come down through the second and come out at the third. At the first of the Three Taverns, the wines are of celebrated vintage, and the whiskies are said to be pure, and they are quaffed from cut glass, at marble side tables, under pictures approaching masterpieces. The patrons pull off their kind gloves, and hand their silk hats to the waiter, and push back their hair with a hand on one finger of which is a cameo. But those patrons es^peTRThTeTTaveTHBt AfterBUT--****&-*#s t o »visiting-thaiplace. It viving hurricanes, cyclones, Icebergs, collisions, many of them are wrecked in harbor. 1 warrant that If a calculation were made of the comparative number of sailors lost at sea. and lost ashore, those drowned by the crimson wave of dissipation would far outnumber those drowned by the salt water. • Alas! that the large majority of should have twice to pass the Three Taverns, namely, before they go out, and after they come4a,—That fact was what aroused Father Taylor, the great sailor's preacher, at the Sailors' Bethel, Boston, and at a public meeting at Charlestown, he said, "All the machinery of the drunkard making, soul destroying business is In perfect running order, from the low grog holes on the docks kept open to ruin my poor sailor boys, to the great establishments in Still House square, and when we ask men what is to be done about it, they say, 'you can't help It," and yet there is Bunker Hill and you say you.can't 'stop it, and up there are Lexington and Concord." + We might answer Father Taylor's remark by saying, "the trouble is not that we can't stop it, but that we won't stop it." We must have more generations slain before the world will fully wake up to, the evil. That which tempted the travelers of old who came up from the Beaports of Actium stantially the same reduction in her and Puteoli, is now the ruin of seadeath rate that was made by the state faring men as they come up from the ef Illinois as a whole.

But a little more than two days out the ship struck the rocks. A life boat was launched, but sank with all its passengers. A mother was seen standing on the deck of the steamer with her child In her arms. A wave wrenched the child from the mother's arms and rolled it into the sea, and the mother leajwti after it. The sailors rushed to the bar of the boat and drank themselves drunk. Ninety-five human beings went down never to rise, or to be floated upon the beach amid the fragments of the wreck. What was the cans* ef the disaster? A drunken sea is not the money that a man pays for drinks, for what are a few hundred or a few thousand dollars to a man of large income—but their brain gets touched, and that unbalances their judgment, afid they can see fortunes in enterprises surcharged with disaster. In longer or shorter time they change Taverns, and they come down to Tavern the second, where the pictures are not quite so scrupulous of suggestion, and the small table is rougher, and the castor standing on it is of Geeman silver, and the air has been kept over from the night before, and that which they sip from the pewter mug has a larger percentage of benzine, ambergris, creosote, henbane, strychnine, prussic acid, coculus indicus, plaster of par is, copperas, and nightshade. The patron may be seen almost every day, and perhaps many times the same day at this Tavern the second, but he is preparing to graduate. Brain, liver, heart, nerves, are rapidly giving way. That Tavern the second has its dismal echo in his business destroyed and family scattered, and woes that choke one's vocabulary. Time passes on, and he enters Tavern the third; a red light outside; a hiccoughing and besotted group inside. He will be dragged out of doors about two o'clock in the morning and left on the sidewalk, because the bartender wants to shut up. The poor victim has taken the regular course in the college of degradation. He bas bis diploma written on his swollen, bruised and blotched physiognomy. He is a regular graduate of the Three Taverns. As the police take him in and put him in the ambulance, the wheels seejn to rumble w^th two rolls of thunder, one of which says, "Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it moveth itself aright in the cup, for at last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder." The other, thunder roll says, MAll drunkards shalf have their place in the lake that burnetii with fire and brimstone. • • • With these thoughts I cheer Christian ba over the consummation.

His whole life having been for God and the world's betterment, when at half-past three o'clock in the afternoon of October second he left his home on earth surrounded by loving ministers, and entered^the gates of his eternal residence/ Tthink there was a most unusual welcome and salutation given him. Multitudes enter heaven only because of what Christ has done for them, the welcome not at all intensified because of anything they had dene for him. But all heaven knew the story of that good man's life, and the beauty of his death-bed, where he said, "I long to be free." I think all the reformers of heaven came out to hail him in, the departed legislators who made laws to restrain intemperance, the consecreated platform orators who thrilled the generations that are gone, with "righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come"—Albert Barnes and John B. Gough were there to greet him, and golden-tongued patriarch Stephen H. Tyng was there, and John W. Hawkins, the founder of the much derided and gloriously useful "Washingtonlan Movement" was there, and John Sterns and Commodore Foote, and Dr. Marsh and Governor Briggs and Eliphalet Nott, and my lovely friend Alfred Colquitt, the Christian Senator, and hundreds of those who labored for the overthrow of the drunkenness that yet curses the earth, were there to meet him and escort him to his throne and shout at his coronation. God let him live on for near a century, to show what good habits and cheerfulness and faith in the final triumph of all that Is good, can do for a man in this world, and to add to the number of those who would be on the other side to attend his entrance. But he will come back again! "Yes," say some of you, with Martha, about Lazarus to Jesus, "I know he will rise at the Resurrection of the-fast day." Ah! I do not mean that. Ministering spirits are all the time coming and going between earth and heaven—the Bible teaches it—and do you suppose the old hero just ascended will not come down and help us in the battle that still goes on? He will. Into the hearts of discouragedreformers-liewilt. come, to speak good cheer. When legislators are deciding how they can best stop the rum traffic of America by legal enactment, he will help them vote for the right and ri6e up undismayed from temporary defeat. In this battle will Neal Dow be until the last victory is gained and the smoke of the last distillery has curled on the air, and the last tear of despoiled homesteads shall be wiped away. Q departed nonagenarian! After you have taken a good rest from your struggle of seventy active years, come down again Into the fight, and bring with you a host of the old Christian warriors who once mingled in the fray. In this battle the visible troops are not so mighty as the Invisible. The gospel campaign began with the supernatural— the midnight chant that woke the shepherds, the hushed sea, the eyesight given where the patient had been without the optic nerve, the sun obliterated from the noonday heavens, the law of gravitation loosing its grip as Christ ascended; and as the gospel campaign began with the supernatural, it will close with the supernatural; and the winds and the waves and the—lightnings and the u A b U A L T l E Q .

Was she not helping to make the beautiful picture which he •aid waa to bring him fame and happiness ? And aa ehe thought, her steps grew slower, and the bright, beautiful past rose up before her like a wonderful panorama, each view more entrancing than the preceding one; her memory went back to that early summer's day, when he had come upon her as f & ^ s h e sat mending her father's neti on *V the shore, and had asked her to sit for him each day, while he bad put her picture on the canvas with a genius - that almost frightened the simple fisher maiden. Happy days! in which she had learned to love him for h i i gentle words, his bonny smile and the song and story with which he had beguiled the hours In which she strove with all her soul to embody his meaning, with an earnestness that pleased while it surprised him. Ah! but it was her signor, and he had chosen her from all the girls on the shore, and the picture was hers as well as his, and Bhe gloried in its perfection. Half child, half woman, as she was, she did not understand what it was that made the sun BO bright, the sea so joyous, and life so altogether delightful. To-day she entered the studio with # eyes shining like stars, the soft color coming and going in her cheeks, the dewy lips, arched like Cupid's bow, tremulous with excitement and it was no wonder that his artist soul reveled In her beauty. When the day's work was over he •called her to him and showed her the picture, which was approaching completion. "We shall soon have Mt done, my dear, and then we will send it away to the big city, where there will be none so beautiful as m y l i t t l e fisher girl; only a few more days and our work Is over." He drew her close to him and pressed a kiss on her Innocent lips; which to him was but an expression of thankfulness to the child who had helped him to win the fame he felt sure was within his grasp; but to her it was the awakening of a soul, and he, coldblooded northerner as he was, did not understand how soon womanhood, with all its joys and sorrows, comes to maidens under a southern sun.

Aa she listened she grew ©old a s with a sudden chill, m she heard them plan to waylay and rob some one, and she held her breath to catch the nasne. Ah! heaven, could It ho that the hoard aright! "The pictore fellow," they aafci, ~he has plenty of sooner and Jewels worth taking." She most save him, be who bod caressed her oo fondly, her dear friend. for even to herself she scarcely dared eafl him by any fonder nasne yet. She would listen to all their plana, and perboos she could warn him. "He will be coming home along the OUf road from the chatea* that holds sweetheart," said her father's voice; "they will, uuuli a* iwil over," he added, with a nendlsh chuckle. "Iftst,J1 gatn^motheTr^^tnTgiff may m t t f B O U T K TO HKAftTH. Little, fragrant, palatable tablet*, in a leled-metal boa, jost tigh ' wake." She could hear no moreV for they moved away; but the Iron had entered her soul, and jealousy had mads a woman of the girl of yesterday. "Over the cliff to aee his sweetheart," then she could never be anything to him; •he was only a child to amuse him. Then all her passionate nature rose In revolt; no one else should have his love, she'thought; they might throw him from the cliff, she would have the remembrance of that kiss of yesterday, and after he was dead she would go too, and find her lover in the cruel waves where they had flung him, and be should be hers in death. She covered her head in the bedclothes and shivered and wept^until morning; then with the bright BUD came better thoughts, and she remembered the grand picture that was to go out into the world—she must save him or it would not be finished. She would go along the cliff road at evening and warn him of his danger. So, alternating between love and jealousy, she spent all the day, and when the sun sank to rest behind the hills she was on her way over the rocks and op onto the cliff/where Bhe could hide herself and watch for his approach. It grew dark, and the moon was hidden behind black clouds; a storm was coming up; still she did not stir; the thunder rolled, and lightning lit up the heavens with fitful dashes. Perhaps he would not return to-night, and she prayed he might not, although it was agony to picture to herself the lady at the chateau pleadtng with him not to go out into the night. Hark! that was his voice surely Binging softly to himself, and in one of the flashes she saw coming from the chateau road the form of him she loved; in one swift moment she exulted that he had left his lady in spite of pleading; but the feeling was brief, for from the other direction she heard voices, and realized that the evil deed planned in darkless the night before would be execuro'l unless bhe could prevent it. Nearer and nearar they come until they are almost npi)Osi:e her hiding place. Holy Mother! what can she do! There is no time to warn him, as he comes jauntily on to his doom, and she sees like a flash his mangled form on the rocks below, to be washed out by the cruel waves in the morning; then the picture rises before her In all its divine beauty; her brain is burning with excitement. Unknowingly she rushes out of her concealment, and the ruffians, seeing the form In the darkness, think their victim is in their power. In her frenzy she has gone too far; one false step and she falls over the cliff; a lightning flash lit up the sky, and there was one shriek as of a lost soul as she went over the edge. The men turn and- flee for dear life, thinking in their superstitious fear that evil spirits are p^rsuing_them. In an in- Btant all was over, and, unable to find the cause of the disturbance, the artist keeps on his way home. The next morning the village rang with excitement, for the frightened men had confessed all, and the body of the girl was found in the surf. The maiden had sacrificed her life for her friend, and although he never realized that his thoughtless kiss had cost her her life, he undertook the simple burial, and placed a white cross at her head, and he and his beautiful wife make yearly pilgrimages to the little grave of her who gave her life for his.—Boston Herald. deintr enamel the vest] tablet* are stamped the lettars, " a C.

Superior People Drlvea to the Swamp el What I* Now L o o U U u . Prof. George B. Beyer, of Tulane university, New Orleans, has Just returned from his explorations of the socalled Indian mound* along the Red river, and between that stream and the Mississippi, in Franklin, NatchitooheB, and other neighboring parishes, which he investigated for Tulane university and the Louisiana Historical society. He was able to distinguish the several layers of earth, shell and clay deposited at different times, and to demonstrate a greater antiquity for the mounds than had been supposed—an antiquity of at least 1,000 years. The skeletons and implements discovered proved further that the inhabitants of these mounds were not of the race of the ordinary red Indians who were found there by the French and Spanish ex- v r - v . plorers, but a race akin to the Asteca rs % , a v 0 , or Toletlcs, of a more peaceful disposition than the neighboring Indians, and originally more civilised. They had apparently been forced into the great swamps by the surrounding Indian tribes, and their civilisation had deteriorated under the unfavorable conditions in which they lived. Prtff. Beyer's later explorations confirmed his former ones, or rather showed that there were two varieties of mounds *n the country he explored, one variety on the higher land, apparently erected by Indians, and used mainly for burial purposes; the other built by a more ancient race, and containing skulls of the same kind as those found in Catahoula. The India* mounds contained a large number of skeletons with heads distinctively Indian, arrows, tomahawks, etc. The other mounds were in the swamps or lakes, like those of Mexico. Such labs* were once abundant along the Red rtoer, but nearly all have been drains* dry to-day by the removal of the Red river raft. The number of these mounds faHrly staggered Prof. Beyer. he found no fewer than flfty clustered together and extending a distance of two miles from Brown's bayou to Uttle Deer creek. They were so close together— only fifty feet, apart—as to make what must have been In old days a settlement or town.

ThifTSombtned- - capacity- of the world-famous fountains at Vereafflee, hitherto the largest in the world, is i0,000 gallons an hour. They would make^but feeble stream* in, comparison with the monument caseades, and yes the cost of running the French fountains is so great that the water is onlf turned on on gala daye. GEORGIA L.

Woodford, the American minister there. The communication is courteous in tone, but very determined, in rejecting the purport of the American note. 8pain resolutely asserts her determination to settle the Cuban question herself without foreign assistance or interference of any kind. She declines to fix any date for the pacification of of Cuba, which she proposes to bring about as she sees fitby force of arms and by political reforms culminating in autonomy combined. While regretting the losses and damages the insurrection has inflicted on foreigners Spain argues that this would not have happened if international law had been observed by the United States especially. The note dwells at length on filibustering and other material and moral assistance which has chiefly contributed to the rtse and duration of the rebellion. It clearly intimates that Spain cannot continue the "forbearance shown by Senor Canovas del Castilo and the duke of Tetuan during the past two years," and that she now calls upon the American government to "fulfill more strictly in the future the rules and duties of international law," because "the success of the new home rule policy and the speedy pacification of Cuba chiefly depend upon the conduct of the United States." The Spanish press unanimously supports the attitude of the government which it calls eminently sober and dignified, but the impression is that the controversy with the* United States has reached a critical stage which may be the prelude to a rupture. The Spanish naval forces in the Caribbean sea will be strengthened on the pretext of a necessity for increased vigilance on the Cuban coast El Liberal thinks a rupture is possible as a result of the negotiations between Spain and the United States, and adds: "We ought to avoid this rupture, so far as duty and honor permit; but though the government should • act in a spirit of moderation, the nation will under no circumstances authorize the renunciation of Spanish rights." El Tiempo publishes the an n ounce me nt that the reply ~at~t •Spanish government to the note of the United States declares that if the United States does not stop the sailing of filibustering expeditions from American porta Spain will re-establish the right to search vessels anchoring in Cuban waters. London papers advise Spain to go slow and by all means avoid a rupture with the United States and say that it is an idle dream for Spain to hope for assistance from any European power.

Miners from Dawson City who came back on the steamer Farrallon from Dyea report that before they left Hansen, one of the managers of the Alaska Commercial Co., arrived at Dawson City in a canoe and told of the abandonment of efforts to get food up the river.

For a while Marjorle watched him, her face white as death; then she went to him and 'knelt at his feet. **Leon," she said, in a low, trembling Yolce, "let us forget the past; maybe It tee been my fault; but, indeed, I never meant It, dear. I have been so lonely and so sad, and I have been kept apart from you because I thought yen wished it, and—yes—because you sometimes seemed so angry that I crew afraid!" She tried to take his hand, but he thrust her aside. "Do you think this Is the way to winme^backr' he said: "it is more likely to drive me away, for, look you, 2 'dislike scenes and I have business which demands that I keep cool. There, dry your eyes and let me finish my meal in peace." At that time nothing more was said, but once he was free of the house, 'Causeidiere reflected over what had taken place. He was in sore trouble as to what he .must do. To abandon Marjorle meant abandoning the £ooso which laid him golden eggs, for without the supplies which Miss Hetkerington sent to her daughter, where would Causeidiere be? One afternoon, as he was jbant to return home in no very amiable frame of mind, an incident occurred which aroused, in .his mind a feeling mot exactly of jealousy, but of lofty moral indignation. He saw, from the wladaw of a shop where he was making a purchase,, Marjorle and little Leom pass by : 1* company with a young seen whom he recognised at a glance, He crept to the door, and looked after them, scarcely able to believe his eytes. Yes, it was real! There were Marjorle and little Leon walking side by side with young Sutherland, his oft] >bete noir from Scotland. Half an1 hour later, when he reached home, he found Marjorle plrtlf neatnrV In the salon. : "Leon!" cried Marjorle, startled by ibis manner, "is anything the matterr*j He did not answer, but glared a± hert wdtb growing fury* ! flhe repeated her question. He wast still silent Then, as she sat treaaafing,; he rose, crossed over, and put his tierce fate close to hers. MLet me look at you. Yes, I aee!, Touare like your mother, the " y He concluded with an epithet too for transcription. no longer necessary to him; indeed, he was longing to be free, and wondorlng what means he should adopt to obtain his end. •• If Marjorle would only leave him and return to her friend in Scotland the matter would be simple enough, but this she did not seem inclined to do. She thought of her child; tor b f p 8 a k e she still clang to the meJn^whom she believed to be her husband. Thus matters stood for a week, when, one day, Causeidiere, whan within a few yards of his own door, saw ti man emerge from it and walk quickly down the street. Caussidlere caught his breath and a very ugly look oame into his eyes; the man was none other than the one whom be bad strictly forbidden his wife to see—John Sutherland! After a momentary hesitation he entered the house and walked straight to the sitting-room, where he found Marjorte. She had been crying. At sight of her husband she dried her eyes, but She could not hide her sorrow. "What are you crying for?" he asked Toughly. "'*It is nothing, Leon," ihe returned. "It's a lie; you can't deceive me as well as defy me." "Defy you!" "Yes, defy me. Didn't I forbid you ever again to seek the company of that accursed Scotchman?" "Yes," she returned, quietly, "and I 6beyed you. I saw him unce again to tell him we must not moec—that was all;" <?I tell you you are a liar!" Her face flushed crimson. "Leon," she said, "think of tas child: say what you please to me, but let us be alone." She took the frightened cbOfl by the hand, and was about to lead him from the room, when Causaldlere interposed. "No," he said; "I shall say what I please to you, and the child shall remain. I tell you you are a liar— that man was here today—flon't trouble yourself to deny it; I saw him leave the house." "I do not wish to deny It," she returned. "Yes, he was here:" The tears had come into her eyes She sprang up, pale as death. "What have I done?" she cried. ~Do*you think I am a fool-blind?

"Why was he here?" eoaciirued Causeidiere, furiously. "He came here to say goedby. He is going to Scotland—his father is dying." She bowed her head sard laid her lipe on the forehead of her child. "Why did you not go with him?" She raised her head and looked at him with weary, sorrow**! eyes. "Why did I not go?" she said. "Ah, Leon, do not ask me that- -is it the duty of a wife to leave her husband and her child?" -Her husband!" he said, with a sneer. "Ah, well, since you are «3leased to put it so, your huehaad gives you i permission, and for the heat,-why, you jnay take him, too." "Leon!" "Well?" "What do you mean?" "What I say, mon amie, {.generally d o r "You wish me to leave yon?" 'He shrugged his shoulders. "I think you would be better in Scot* Jatfd. and I should be better Iree." Again she looked at him is wonder. •What, did it all mean? She oould not believe that he was speaking the truth. ent nations—nations which.for thereat, us shake hands and part company— the sooner the better." The mask had fallen Indeed} Poor Marjorle read in the man's livid face not merely weariness and satiety, but positive dielike, biack almost as hate itself. She clasped her. child and uttered a despairing cry* "You can't mean it, Leon! No, no, you don't mean what you say!" she moaned, sinking into a chair, and covering her face with her hand. "Mamma, mamma!" cried llttlo Leon. "Do not cry." She drew him convulsively to her, and gated again at Caussidlere. He was standing on the hearth rug, looking at her with a nervous scowl. "It Is useless to make a scene," he said. "Understand me onco for all, Marjorle. I want my freedom. X have great work on hand, and I cannot pursue it rightly if encumbered by you." "You should have thought of that hefore," she sobbed. "You used to love me; God knows what has turned your heart against me. But I am your wife; nothing can part us now," "Do you really deceive yourself so much?" he demanded coldly. "Then hear the truth from me. You are no wife of mine!" "Not your wife!" she cried. "Certainly not. My mistress, if you please, who has been suffered for a time to wear my uame; that Is all." She sprang up as if shot through the heart, and faced him, pato as death. "We are married! We stood together before the altar, Lean. I tave my marrlnge lines." "Which are so much waste paper, my dear, here In Prance!" Sick with horror and fear, she totter- «d to Mm and clutched him by the arm. "Leon! once more: what do you mean?" "My meaning is very simple." he replied; "the marriage of un Englishwoman with a French .citizen is no marriage unless the civil ceremony has also been performed in France. Now, do you understand?" "I am not your wife! Not your wife!" cried Marjorle, stupefied. "Not here in France," answered Caussidlere. "Then the child—our child?" "Trouble not yourself about him," was the reply. "If you are reasonable he can easily be legitimatized according to our laws; but nothing on earth can make us two man and wife so long as I remain on French soiL" He added coldly: "And I liave no intention of again ; expatriating myself, I assure you." It was enough. Dazed and mystified as sho was, Marjorle now understood plainly the utter villainy of the man with vhom she had to deal. -She had neither jtower nor will for further H o w ' * Thi»t -f aWr ea nMy ac'sa*s Oe noef rCtuamtarmrhq tixhmata rcsa"nWnowta wbeT ^ W N W C T W - .

The October meeting of the Putnam and Hamburg farmer's club was held at the borne of Mr. and Mrs. Silas Swartbout on Saturday last and was well attended there being nearly 75 present. But little business, except the appointment of committees, was done before dinner but it was just as well for bad they taken time to do much Ibev would never have got through eatinjr. Such a dinner, oh, my! We had been getting ready for it for a week and it will take us a week to get over the effects. The tables just groaned under the weight of good things and there seemed to be no lack even after the first and second tables had been supplied and the waiters fared as well as anyone. The dinner was well worth tbe cost of membership and if we get, able (?) to go again we shall join sure. After dinner tbe meeting was called to order by President Larabertson and a short program was listened to. Miss Iva Placeway sang a solo; Emit Lanibertoon a recitation; Miss Maud Culy, select reading; Miss Flota Hall, a paper; Miss Iva Placeway, a recitation. H. F. Kice was expected to sing a solo but said he was "too full for utterance, let alone singing." This finished the literary part of the program and the club then took up the question "Rural Mail Delivery." While nearly everyone present bad probably thought more or less upontbe subject but few were ready to speak and the president finally had to open the discussion. He thought that the farmer had the same right to free mail delivery as those who live in the city; it is much benefit to those to have their mail delivered; and it would also be to tbe farmer. With a free mail deliverv, tbe farmer could be informed of the change in market price every day by the daily papers. It would aUo be a big convenience in mailing letters, etc. The main people who are fighting us are the telephone and telegraph companies and those who wish postage reduced to one cent, John Chambers said, we pinst api. for Dr.Mlies'Uemedlee.* Dr. Miles' Remedies are sold by a l l drug* gists under a positive guarantee, first bottle benefits o r money r e - funded.

We must tell them what we mean and if they do not give it to us we must elect senators who will. One main objection is the condition of the roads; we must get good roads and then we can get free mail delivery. E. W.Kennedy wanted to know what excuse we could have to go to town if we had free mail delivery, but wanted to see it just the same. A motion was made and carried that the club join the state association and John Chambers and Grover Lambertson were elected as delegates to the December state meeting at Lansing. The question box was opened and the question read -'When is the Best Time to sell Poultry. Thanksgiving or Christmas?" was answered quite thoroughly by Silas Swarthout. He said, "mocb depends on the weather and tbe condluonoTTue poultry. All young turkeys will not fatten early enough for Thanksgiving and must be held over; chickens and ducks will all fatten early enough and if the weather is good, a irood price is generally received at thanksgiving." The question "Which works the Harder, the Parmer or his Wife" drew out some sharp repartee. One said as botb were one they, did not see hew one half cculd work harder than the other; then another said that of course as tbe woman was the ''better fcalf" she of necessity did tbe most work. The question "What is the Best, Cheap, servicabie Fence for the Farmer to Build'* was chosen for discuss* ion at tbe next meeting and it was voted to tine every maa who did not speak upon the enbject when called upon, The meeting adjourned to meet the last Saturday of November at tbe some oi Jae.

An English admiral declares that if the gun-ship cannot be modified to meet and s balance the threat of the torpedo vessel, then the torpedo vessel will herself become the battleship of the future, and the gun-ship will fall into the auxiliary or subordinate place. He argues that there would be less risk in men and money in sending a flotilla of swift but small vessels against a battleship than to meet that formidable engine of war with a ship of equal size. The future of naval warfare may abound in such developments. An import movement of gold began late in September with the arrival of $4,000,000 at San Francisco, from Australia, and the engagement of $2,600,- 000 at London and Paris- These are *he first Imports of importance since last November. They are a natural result of the movement of the crops. The active shipment of grain and cotton calls for increased supplies of money at the centers of agricultural production, and the deficiency caused by meeting this demand is supplied by gold paid by the foreign purchasers of our products. The condition favors a continuance of gold imports, as we are now selling to Europe monthly from forty to fifty million dollars' worth of our products in excess of all that we are buying there. In reality we ought to get $50,000,000 imports a month. The monthly interest on our foreign -debts ohmaA, hnwflver, amounts t o $40,000,000 a month. WELL- MATCHED pair, alike in ambition and in falsehood, Ananias and Sapphira. They wanted a reputation for great beneficence, and they sold all their property, pretending to put the entire proceeds in the charity fund, while they put much of It in their own pocket There was no necessity that they give all their property away, but they wanted the reputation of so doing. Ananias first lied about it and dropped down dead. Then Sapphira lied about it, and she dropped down dead. The two fatalities are a warning to all ages of the danger of sacrificing the truth. : There are thousands of ways of telling a lie. A n.an's whole life may be a falsehood an2 yet never with his lips may he falsifj onca. There is a way of uttering falsehood by look, by manner, as well as by Up. There are persons who are guilty of dishonesty of speech and then afterward say "may be," calling it a white lie, when no lie is that color. The whitest lie ever told was as black as perdition. There are those so given to dishonesty of speech that they do not know when they are lying. With some It is an acquired sin, and with others it is a natural infirmity. There are those whom you will recognize as born liars. Their whole life, from cradle to grave, is filled up with vice of speech. Misrepresentation and prevarication are as natural to them as the infantile diseases, and are a sort of moral croup and spiritual scarlatina. Then there are those who in after life have opportunities of developing this evil, and they go from deception to deception, and from class to class, until they are regularly graduated liars. At times the air in our cities is filled with-falsehood, and lies cluster around the mechanic's hammer, blossom on the merchant's yardstick, and sometimes sit on the door of churches. They areT called by some fabrication, and they are called by some fiction. You might call them subterfuge or deceit, or romance, or fable, or misrepresentation, or delusion; but as I know nothing to be gained by covering up a God-defying sin with a lexicographer's blanket, I shall call them in plainest vernacular, lies. The abuse of the right of petition consists, in part, of an Indiscriminate use of that method of reaching a desired end. It is a truism that the obtaining of signatures for a petition Is usually an easy matter. Men sign out of good'nature, to get rid of importunity, because they have signed similar documents, and so on, and sometimes the body of the peti- 1 tion Is not even read. An excellent illustration of recklessness was recently furnished. A citizen complained to the governor of a state because a certain criminal had been pardoned. The governor sent for the papers in the case; and the complainant was found to have signed the petition for a pardon. He had put his name to the paper without reflection, and had forgotten the fact. But when his own request had been grsnted, he indignantly held the governor guilty of an act injurious to the public interest! An important decision relating to the be divided into agricultural, commercial, mechanical, social and eccleslastiat' » First of all, I speak of agricultural falsehoods. There U something in the presence of natural objects that has a tendency to make one pure. The trees never issue false stock. The wheat fields are always honest. Rye and oats never move out in the night, not paying for the place they occupy. Cornshocks never make false assignment. Mountain brooks are always current. The gold of the wheat fields is never counterfeit. But while the tendency of agricultural life is to make one honest, honesty is not the characteristic of all who come to the city markets from the country districts. You hear the creaking of the dishonest farm wagon in almost every street of our great cities—a farm wagon in which there is not one honest spoke, or one truthful rivet, from tongue to tail-board. Again and again has domestic economy in our great cities foundered on the fanner's firkin. When New York and Washington sit down and weep over *H his be plotting a monetary revolution, or the burglars may be at that moment at his money safe, or the fire may have kindled on the very block where hit stors stands. Es*y, is it? Let those who get their living on the quiet farm and barn take the place of one of our city \aercbanta and see whether It Is so easy. It is hard enough to have the hands blistered with outdoor work, but it is haruer with mental anxieties to bavo the brain consumed.,. God help the merchants. And do not let those who live- In country life come to th>3 conclusion that all the dishonesties belong to city life. I pass on to consider commercial lies. There are those who apologize for deviations from the right and for practical deception by saym* it is commercial custom. In other words, a lie by multiplication becomes a virtue. There are large fortunes gathered in which there is not one drop of the sweat of unrequited toll, and not one spark of bad temper flashes from the bronze bracket, and there is not one drop of needlewoman's heart blood on the crimson blush; whih there are other fortunes about which it may be said that on every door knob and on every figure of the carpet, and on <JVery wan there Is the mark of dishonor. What if the hand wrung by toil and blistered until the skin comes off should be placed on the exquisite wall paper, leaving its mark of blood—four fingers and a thumb? or, If in the night the man should be aroused from his slumber again and again by his own conscience, getting himself up on elbow and crying out Into the darkness; "Who is there?" There are large fortunes upon which God'B favor comes .down, and it is Just as honest and just as Christian to be affluent as it is to be poor. In miny a house there is a blessing on every pictured wall and on every scroll, and on every traceried window, and the joy that flashes in the lights, and that showers in the music and that dances in the quick feet of the children pattering through the hall has in it the favor of God and the approval of man. And there are thousands and tens of thousands ct merchants who, from the fimt day they sold a yard of cloth, <y firkin of butter, have maintained their Integrity: They were born honest, they will live honest, and thoy A ill die honest. But you and I know that there are in commercial life those who are guilty of great dishonesties of speech. A merchant says, "I am selling these goods at leas than cost." Is he getting for those goods a price inferior to that which ho paid for then? Then he has spoken the truta. to he getting more? The.i he lies. A merchant says: "I paid $25 for this article."

"Oh," you say, "I heard some Presbyterian minister twenty years ago say so." You did not. There, never was a man s^ha believed that, there never, will be a nian who will "believe that. And yet, from boyhood, I have heard that particular slander- against a Christian church going down/through the community. Then, now 6ft«h it Is that there are misrepresentations on the' part of individual churches in regard to other churches—especially if a church comes to great prosperity. AB long as a church is in poverty, and the singing is poor, and all the surroundIngB are decrepit, and the congregation are so hardly bostead in life that their pastor goes with elbows out, then there will always be Christian people in churches who say, "What a pity! what a pity!" But lot the day of prosperity come to a Christian church, and let the music be triumphant, and b3t there be vast assemblages, and then there will be even ministers of the Gospel critical and denunciatory and full of misrepresentation and falsification, giving the impression to the outside world that they do not like the corn because it is not ground in their mill. Oh, my friends, let. us in all departments of life stand back from deception. But some one says, "The deception that I practice is so small that it don't amount to anything." Ah, my friends, it does amount to a great deal. You say, "When I deceive, it is only about a case of needles, or a box of buttons, or a row of pins." But the article may be so small you can put it in your vest pocket, but the sin is as big as the pyramids, and the echo of your dishonor will reverberate through the mountains of eternity. There is no such thing as a small sin. They are all vast and stupendous, because they will all have to come under inspection in the Day of Judgment. You may boast yourself of having made a fine bargain—a sharp bargain. You may carry out what the Bible says in regard to that man who went in to make a purchase and depreciated the valuft of the floods, and then after he and iot.% time himself Worked at that ne^s.

The ait down and weep over theirs. case was that of John O. Wood, superintendent of mails at Louisville, Ky., who applied to the court to enjoin the postmaster-general from removing him. His claim was that his superior had no right to depose him without giving reasons, because of the civil service rule recently promulgated by the president, forbidding removals from the classified service except for Just cause and upon written charges. Judge Cox dismissed the complaint. He held that the power of removal is an inddeat to the power of appointment, and that both are lodged with the heads of departments. There can be no restrictions upon the power of removal except by sagialation, and any rules touching the matter, whether made by the president or dsdl service commiss i o n / a r e ~ void. Tsve enforcement of such rules la a matter that Ilea between the president and Ids cabinet In s similar case in the federal court at Chicago Judge Jenkins has given a similar decision. Under these interpretations of the taw there Is no logal remedy for the violation of the rule recently made, and the enforcement of that rule must depend solely on the enesutlve The tendency in all rural districts is to suppose that sins and transgressions cluster in our great cities; but cdtlzens and merchants long ago learned that it la not safe to calculate from the character of the apples on the top of the farmer's barrel what is the character of the apples all the way down toward the bottom. Many of oar citlsene and merchants have learned that it la always safe to see the farmer measure the barrel of beets. Mils: cans are not always honest There are those, who in country lifeJ seem to think they have a right to overreach grain dealers and merchants of all styles. They think it la more honorable to raise corn than to deal In corn. The producer sometimes practically says to the merchant, "You get your money easily, anyhow." Does he get it easily? White the farmer gleepe,and he may go to sleep, conscious of the fact that his corn and rye are all the time progressing and/adding to his fortune or his livelihood, the aaerehant tries to sleep, while conscious of the fact that «i 1 bat moment the ehJe a n y be driving o s / t a e rock, or « wave sweeping over the bsurriens* deck snailsuppose he paid for it $23 instead of 925? Then he lies. But there are just as many falsehoods before the counter as there are behind the counter. A customer comes in and asks: "How much Is this article?" "It is five dollars." "I can get that for four somewhere else." Can he get it for four somewhere else, or did he say that just for the purpose of getting it cheap by depreciating the value of the goods? If so, he lied. There are just as many falsehoods before the^counter as there are behind the counter. • • * Social life ie struck through with insincerity. They apologize for the fact that the furnace is out; they have not had any fire in it all winter. They apologize for the fare on their table; they never live any better. They decry their most luxuriant entertainment to win a shower of approval from you. They point at a picture on the wall as a work of one of the old masters. They say it is an heirloom in the family. It hung on the wall of a eastie. A dnke gave it to their grandfather. People that will lie about nothing else will lie about a picture. On small income we want the world to believe we are affluent, and society today is struck through with cheat and counterfeit and sham. How few people are natural! Frigidity sails around, iceberg grinding against iceberg, Tou must not laugh outright; that la vulgar. Tour must smile. Tou musj not dash quickly across the room; that is vulgar. You must glide. Much of society is a round of bows, and grins and grimaces and oh's and ah's and he, he's and simperings and nsjnby-pambyism, a whole world of which is not worth one good honest teundf of laughter. From such a hollow seene the tortured guest retires at the elose of the evening, assuring the host that he has enjoyed himself. Society la become so contorted and^deformed in this respect that a mountain cabin where the rustics gather at a quilting or an apple-paring, has Hr^tt frescoed refrigerators of the metropolis. I pass on to speak of ecclesiastical lies, those which are told for the advancement or retarding of a church or sect It is hardly worth your while to ask an extreme Calvtuist what an Armialan believes. B e wiU teti you thai an Armlnlan believes that snssv bi had got away boasted of the splendid bargain he had made. "It Is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth." It may seem to the world a sharp bargain, but the recording angel wrote down in the ponderous tones of eternity, "Mr. So-and-so, doing business on Pennsylvania Avenue, or Broadway, or Chestnnt Street, or State Street, told one lie." May God extirpate from society all the ecclesiastical lies, and all the social lies, and all the mechanical lies, and all the commercial lies, and all the agricultural lies, and make every man to speak the truth.of his neighbor. My friends, let us make' our life correspond to what we are. Let us banish all deception from our behavior. . Let us remember that the time comes when God will demonstrate before an assembled universe just what we are. The secret will come out. Ws may hide it while we live, but we cannot hide it when we die. To many life is a masquerade ball. As at such entertainment gentlemen and ladies appear tn garb of kings or queens, or mountain bandits, or clowns, and then at the close of the dance put off their disguise, so many all through life-are in mask. The masquerade ball goes onr and gemmed hand clasps gemmed hand, and dancing feet respond to |, dancing feet, and gleaming brow bends to gleaming brow, and the masquerade ball goes bravely on. But after a while languor comes and blurs the sight. Lights lower. Floor hollow with sepulchral echo. Music saddens into a wait Lights lower. Now the masquerade is hardly seen. The fragrance is exchanged for the sickening odor of garlands that have lain a long while in the damp of sepulchres. Lights lower. Mists fill the room. The scarf drops from the shoulder of beauty, a shroud. Lights lower. Torn leaves and withered garlands now hardly oov» '< er up the ulcered feet. 8lenjeVof lampwicks almost quenched.

In these times when backs are lame, when almost every other one we meet has now and then, or all the time, a back that iches or pains—"a weak back," "a bad back," a back that makes their life a missry to bear — and still they go on day by day in pain and suffering. Now 'tis the easiest thing In the world to give this played out back " a blow " that will settle it, and put fn its place a new one equal to any. It's just like tills: hit at the cause; most backaches come from kldnef disorders. Reach the kidneys, start their elogged-up fibres in operation; when this Is done you can say good-bye to backache.

"But I am not a common traveler," I answer, boldly. Light laughter drifts down to me.gay as the golden motes that swim in a sunbeam. "How may my house serve me?" "With a sight of its fair mistress." . "I hear a step upon the stair. Tbet bolt of .the door is drawn. A flood of light streams out into the night. A withered old woman bids me enter. My feet sink in the silken pile of eastern rugs. I hear a gold hammer strike nine resonant strokes upon- a bronze shield. Upon a spit before the Are place two birds are roasting. The air is redolent of their juices and the banquet of newly decanted wine, I have journeyed from where the Matterhorn climbs its last height, and my student dress is splashed and stained with mud and snow. Dropping upon a velvet couch I stretch my hands to the fire. "Say to your gracious chatelaine that she shall dine with me." The old serving woman" turns away, mumbling. I draw a heavy table into the middle of the hall, and set upon it platters and trenchers. The firelight flashes merrily on jeweled flagons and crystal cara f e # Placing her chair where the lamplight will strike upon her face and bring out the gold In her hair, I seat myself and fancy her figure on the other side of the table. Two sleepy love-birds twitter overbead in a gilded cage. One stirs, and flutters its downy feathers against my hand. "Elsie, Elsie," it murmurs. "Elsie;" I cry. "Elsie!" There is a rustling among the cur* tains that hide the stairs. All my Veins run fire at the music of her reply, "I am here." I turn and see a slender figure in violet velvet embroidered with gold. Above the low fair brow riotous locks make sunshine In curling tendrils, but whether the eyes beneath are violet like the woman's gown or black like the tips of the satin slippers under U, Mew York Cewtrml Trala Pleages late * ill* BadaoB SUver.

York Central <fe Hudson River railroad, due to arrive in Now York City at 7:80 a. m. was throw* from the track into the Hudson river, one and a half miles below Garrisons Station. Twenty-eight Uvea were lost j The train left Buffalo at 7:30 p. m. and had gone over nearly nine-tenths of the distance towards its destination when the engine plunged into the depths of the Hudson river. With Ms hand upon the throttle, the engineer sank with his engine to the bottom of the stream and the fireman, too, was at bis post Behind the engine was the express car, the combination car and the sleepers and these piled on top of the engine. It is known that it was a trifle foggy and that the track was not visible, but if there.was any break In the lines of the steel it must have been of very recent happening, for only half an hour before there had passed over it a heavily loaded passeng e r train. The section of road was supposed to be the very best on the entire division. There was a great heavy retaining wall all along the bank and while the tide was high the previous day it was not unprecedented. What seems to have happened was that underneath the* tracks and ties the heavy wall had given away and when the great weight of the engine struck the unsupported tracks it went crashing through the rest of the wall and toppled over into the river. As the train plunged OYer the embankment the coupling that held the last three of the six sleepers broke and they miraculously remained on the broken track. In that way about 65 lives were saved. Later reports from Garrisons say that 10 bodies have been recovered. A large number of passengers are as yet unaccounted for, but it is generally believed that many of them escaped from the cars before they sank and were given refuge in the three sleepers which remained on the track and were taken to New York before a complete list of the rescued could be secured. All of the sunken cars have been raised and burned. or turquoise^or i » p p h j r e ^ l i k ^ _ t h e ± ^ tem, Btoueu that glimmer on my mistress' white hands, who can tell? Not I.

Par tloularly was this true of the state election* In Ohio. Maryland and Virginia, where United States senators were In the balance, and in the municipal contest in Greater New York. The weather on election aay was raw and wet all over the country, yet in spit* of the inclemency a good vote was polled, especially in the cities. In Greater New Yorlf. The campaign for the Mayoralty of Greater New, York was the most sensational in the history of the city. It opened with the promise of a straight fight between the Republicans and Democrats, with the chances in favor of the latter, because of the foreign'born opposition to the Raines* liquor law, which greatly restrlcted the liquor dealers and was a Republican measure. However, there soon developed a feeling which called for a citizens' ticket to oppose the Republican "ring," led by Senator Thoe. Piatt. The Citlsens' Union leaders asserted that the regular Republican organisation and Us managers were quite as offensive to good cltisens as those of Tammany. The latter, led by the old chief, Richard Croker, dictated the Democratic nomination and named Robert A. Van Wyck for mayor, which caused a split in their ranks and the "Thomas Jefferson" Democrats chose Henry George as their standard-bearer,- and he was soon waging a fight that amased ali the other political parties, i From the Battery to the Bronx; from Staten Island to Rockaway he preached the rights of man and denounced the socalled party "bosses" with a fierce energy that electrified the city, and attracted a following which greatly disturbed the other parties.

On election day the polling came within 60,000 of the entire registration, which, considering the weather conditions, under which the election proceeded, was all that could be expected. The day was wet, foggy, "muggy" to a degree. It was such a day as, in the years gone by, when voters lined up in the street* to . await their chance to cast their ballots to the judges inside, was ealta* .'''good Democratic weather." There was a general suspension of business and nearly everybody who waa ouallfled had the opportunity of voting. It was only in the outlying sections that the exercise of the right of franchise was attended wltb any inconvenience. Within a few hour* after the close of the polls It was seen that Tammany's victory in the first municipal election in Greater New York was a sweeping one. The only question remaining to be settled at that time was the one of plurality by which the entire ticket headed by Robert A. Van Wyck carried the gtgantlc municipality. The first reliable estimates placed ft *t about 50.000. Van Wyck polled a vote which falls possibly 40,800 under the combined votes of Gen. Tracy and Beth Low. The latter was successful to the extent of polling an ag- ?:regate vote la exoees of the 148,«» pledges mplied by the signature* of the petition u p o n whioh ho ha fa mo t h e Candida tfi ftf Independent movement. The total number of vote* cast was not far either.way from half a million. The indication* are that Van Wyck received ao.000; Low. 145.000; Tracy, 100.080 and George, 16,000. The aggregate is swelled by a few thousand votes cast for Oleaaon, independent Democrat; Saniel. socialist, and Wardwell, Prohibitionist. On the -eity ticket wltb Judge Van Wyck, Bird S, CoTer is elected comptroller and Randolph Ouggenheimer president of the municipal council. The lerelative branch of the city government is Tammany-Democratic, and the Demoorat* have won a majority ot the county and borough offices along with the municipal places. : The vote of Van Wyck in New York county is approximately the same a* was cast for Bryan in 1896. which was 135,©4. Gen Tracy (Rep.) polled approximately 564*00, against McKinley's vote of 156,359 In New York county, while Low (Citiaens' Union) polled approximately 77.000, and TSeorge (Jef. Dem.), 12,000. In Kings county, which Includes the city of Brooklyn, the- Bryaa vote was 76,882, while Van Wyck> vote will be almost the same. Against McKinley's vote of 109.185, Gen. Tracy polls approximately 25.000, while Low's vote is approximatels/ 6,000. In these two counties the straight Republican vote shows a /ailing off of nearly 176,000, or in excess of the total vote for Seth Low. while the Tammany vote equals. If it does not slightly exceed, that east for Bryan. Whatever might have been the result had Henry George survived the campaign Indications from the earliest return* were that the substitution of the son for the father as the mayoralty candidate of the Thomas Jefferson Democracy had proved a failure from any but the sentimental point of view. In fact the George candidacy made but a beggarly showing, less than 5 per cent of the votes in New York city having been cast for the son of the author of "Progress and Poverty." The George vote possibly suffered by the failure of the supervisor* of election to supply a large number of the precinct* with pasters to attach to the voting papers as required by law. • Following 1* the grand total of the votes received by the three leading candidates for mayor in Greater NeW York, complete return* havlng^heen received from all of the district*: Vain Wyck, 285JH; Low H8.M3; Tracy. 1W.8B.

The Republican state committee claim* confi- 4ently that they will carry Cuyahoga countv and make gain* in other counties. They state that they had anticipated losses In the pities on account of local fights in bosslsm and other faationai troubles, but that tbey had the best reports from rural distriots. The Republican gains seemed to come from the rural Democratic counties and the Democratic irains from the Republican counties In which the large cities are located. It will probably require an 'official count yet to Fettle the status of the Ohio legislature. The later returns show that while Gov. B^sh/ieil is -safely elected, by about < he-half the Republican plurality of last year, the Democrat* have made big gains in the election of legislator*. The Republicans lowered their claims to . a majority of Ave on a joint ballot, as follows: Senau~17 Republican*, 19 /Democrats;* house, 58 Republicans,. 51 Democrat*. Totals 75 Republicans, 70 Democrats. Wood county had been conceded to the Democrats but complete return* eanBed the Republicans to claim It. The Republicans In tot* claim give all of the fusion votes to the Democrats, but there is one of the four senators elected on the firslon ticket 5n Cincinnati who is a Republican —Senator Volgbt—and if he should Jfete with the Republicans on the organisation of the aerate or on anything else, that body will be a tie, with Lieut.-Gov, Joss*, Republican, having the decldbpg vote. With a majority of seven in the house the Republicans.can organise it without trouble and would have the advantage in contested- seat*. Chairman McConville, of the Democratic Btate- committee, wJH not concede the Republicans' claims. M e takes the representatives from Wool and Noble counties from their list, also the senator from the Marton-Loga* district, and said these three change* would make the legislature staBS* 73 Democrats to 72 Republicans, and he- would never give either of these three doubtful member* up till t h e official count was completed. He also contests the election of two of the 12 members from Cuyahoga county, which would make the legislature stand 75 Democrats and 70 Republicans. The Republican state1 committee claim* that the two representatives from Summit county are the only one* in doubt, and th&t the returns show the house to stand 58 Republicans, 40 Democrats and two doubtful, and 'that in their claim* of 75 to 70 with a majority of 5 on joint ballot for senator, they have so far conceded Summit county t* the Democrat*, although they expect the official count to sjve them at least one of the two reprotive* from that county.

In the event of the Republicans securing the legislature on as close a margin as ie now claimed by them and not conceded by the Democrats, Chairman Mc- Conville predicts that Senator HannS will secure the caucus nomination, httt fail of election, and that the session of the Ohio legislature the coming; winter would break the record for factional fighUsg and disturbances. In this connection there are rumors that Gov. Bushnell will be brought oUt for senator against Marcus A.

Gov*- Bushnell and all other* involved in this movement deny any knowledge of it or that they would have anything to do with it. J ohm McLean f o r Pre«i«\eat. Another rumor extant is that J o b s R. McLean will be pressed by the Ohio Democracy for the Democratic nomiatatfcm for president in 1800. It i* claimed by those advocating McLean for the presl* dential nomination that he deserves credit for the reduction Qt the Republican plurality to less than half of what It wa* last year, and of the Republican majority in the legislature from 80 on joint ballot to 5. , .

A WONDERFUL ESCAPEL Belated by a Keeper of the BUchigaa State Prison at Jackson. (.Prom the Jackaon Citizen.) Mr. A. E Wing resides at 613 N. Jackson Street, Jackson, Mich. He is a keeper in the Michigan State Prison, a man of sterling integrity, and whose word is beyond dispute/ He tells tile following story of a woudcrful escape, and the incidents connected with tUe dangerous position in which he was placed. He says, some months ago my attention was attracted by « swetHss; of my groins, which began to increase To size to such an extent that I was alarmed. It spread down my legs to lay feet, and f 'was bloated from my waist dowe, so badly that I could not pall my pants, over say legs, and I had to open my shoes fully two laches before I could get tbesB on. Even my face became, puffed up; andmy whole system seemed affected. I could hardly drag myself upstairs to unlock my Been, I consulted a physidan, one of the best in the city. He asid the swelling was caused by an irritation of the kidneys, nasi I commenced treatment with bias. But leassaed to be getting worse, f was sUKmgty Urged by a friend'to try Doaa's Kidney Pills, and I finally conseated. After the first week I commenced to see a change, and felt much better. This was encouraging, and I continued their use. I took five botes in all, with the happy result that I was completely cured. I have never heard of any medicine which had such a pronounced and radical effect, and yet sot atfeet the system generallyand leave it In such a good condition, I feel better now than I ever did. After the effect WMOoce established the swelling gradually disappeared until it was entirely gone. I reptard Doan's Kidney Pills as a most wonderful agent in ttcr curing of any form of kidney disorder. . For sale by all dealers—price. 00 cents per box.

'The little fellow stared at her for a moment, and then he seemed to remember what had passed, and he clnajrrft her In fear. "Where is papaA he asked. "Papa is gone, my darling!" 'He looked at her again for a mo* meat, then his little arms stole round her neck, and he laid his cheek against hers. "Poor mamma!" he said. Marjorie clasped him to her breaBt and sobbed convulsively. "Ah, Leon," she murmured, "you are all that is left to me now; and yet perhaps. It would be better for you to die!" She continued ber preparations, and when all was done, she still lingered in the house, as if fearing to face the world. At length she remembered Sutherland, remembered the pledge to him and eue resolved to keep It. She would go to him, tell him part* if not all her story, and ask his advice. She took little Leon by the hand and left the house/ passing hurriedly through the streets, until she came to Sutherland's lodgings. She inquired for him, and found to her dismay that he was already gone. He had left the rooms on the previous night and returned to Scotland, When she first heard the news, Marjorie felt aa if her last hope had gone indeed, and she maved away trembling and almost in tears; but after a moment's reflection, she acknowledged to herself that perhaps, after alL it was for the best. What possible good, could have resulted from an interview with Sutherland? She would in all probability have brought trouble upon him by telling him her own and she had worked mischief enough already to all her kin. No; she would troable them no more, but, with little Leon to comfort her,'she would remain as one dead, buried sn the great city where she had n o t one friend. n O A D Q V HEWDtSCQVetY;*** •WWlaJsS«t3aKfctors-n«d -te"aa«ys * IIIMCVT£I AIR INHALER SraV«««al rcHhacsss of Oataffth as* Lass Da> l i r f a £ c 6 M t o e * * B a A a W .

He stopped, looked at her curiously, stooped down to look at her more closely, and demanded her business there. The woman stirred, but did not rise, and the child, which she held clasped closely to her, uttered a feeble cry. The gendarme paused a moment, then lie bent dowa, took her by the ahooMer, and gave her a vigorous kenhb caws* CuahiUi hoy in French, and not onr of those who had known her In earlier days would have reepgnized taarjorie Annan. Yet it was Marjorie—ty starving woman looking at her starving child. Two months had passed since she had left Caussidiere, and ever since that day her troubles had increased. Until now there seemed nothing left to her but to beg or starve. It was now broad daylight and troops of workingmen were passing along to their day's labor, women were passing along with heavy burdens, pretty seamstresses tripping along to too shops where they served all dayr and In the open road a stream of country carts, laden with produce, was flowing in from the town gate. No one noticed Marjorie, those who did glance at her seeing nothing to distinguish ber from the other waifs to be found in all large cities. But presently she saw coming toward her a burly figure, carrying on its shoulders a piece of wood, from which depended two heavy cans. It was the figure of a woman, though one of man-like strength, who, to complete the masculine appearance sported a black moustache and a whisker-like down on either cheek. The woman was singing in a deep man's voice. She Was about to pass by when she was attracted by little Lecn. "A thousand devils!" she muttered to herself; then, striding toward the bench, she demanded. "What « the matter? U the child 111?" Marjorie looked up and met the gleam of two great black eyes, bold but kindly. She could not speak, but turning her head aside, sobbed ngalr. "Poor little mother," growled *iib. stranger to herself. "She is almost a child herself. Look up! Speak to me! What are you doing here?" The tone was so gentle and sympathetic; though the voice and address were rough, that Marjorie cried in despair from the bottom of her heart: "Oh, madame, we have been here all night, and my little boy is starving!" "Starrtng-^the devil!" cried the woman. "Do you mean Itr* As she spoke she stooped down, freed herself q£ her load, and rested her cams upon the ground; then, openlag one of them, she took out a tin vessel brimful -of milk.

She lifted him in her arms, and paaaed with, a alow, tottering step down the street. She was bat poorly clad for such weather. Her garments were threadbare, and here and there they hung in rags about her, so she shivered and ahcank hsJere every touch of the frosty wind.

I am Mother Jeanne, and I hawe had little ones of my own. Now, it is your turn, little aonan." Thus urged, Marjorie drank, too. Mother Jeanne watched her with grim onipassion. "You are too frail to be out in this Weather. Who are you? You are not a Frenchwoman^ by your tongue." "No, madame. I came from Scotland, but I have been in Paris a long time."

BOUT the TBTf time that Marjorie was w a n d e r i n g homeless ana hungry In the streets of Paris two persons were journeying toward the city of London by the night mail. . One was M i s s Hetherin gt on of the Castle; the other was, John Sutherland. For fully an hour neither of them had spoken; the old lady, looking fully twenty years older than when we last beheld her, lay back among the cushions of the carriage, and fixed her eyes upon a letter which she held in her hand. For about the tenth time that night she raised the paper, and read the words which were hastily scrawled thereon i "Dear Mother—I am in great trouble. I am Intsore need. Will you help me? I do not mind for myself, but to see my little child in want breaks my heart. "MARJORIE." She read it through; "then with a moan she let it fall again upon her lap. "Marjorie!" she cried, "my bairn, my bairn!" * From his corner of the carriage Sutherland watched in silence. He was utterly In the dark as to what it all meant. He only knew that they were traveling to Paris and to Marjorie. On the day before, as he had been quietly working at his pictures at home, his father having partially recovered, Miss Hetherington, whom he believed to be in Edinburgh, had suddenly appeared like a specter before him, and without a word of explanation had com> mandeds^iim 1» return with her to Paris. On hastening with her to the Castle he found that a stormy scene had been anaeted there; that Miss Hetherington, beside herself with rage, had actually struck Iter old attendant in the face iind turned her from the door. What it was all about nobody seemed to know, and after one glance into Miss Hetherington's wild eyes Sutherland knew that he had better not inoaire. So he quietly obeyed her orders, and the two started together by the night mall for the south. But although Sutherland had. been silent he had been none the less curioan; and now, seeias; 3mt Mies Hetherington's wild exekearaf was passing: away, he ventured tospeak: 'Miss Hetherington!** cried Johnnie Sutherland. "Is that a letter from Marjorie?- "Ay, from Marjorie."

STOMEY A SMITH. State of Michigan. i Attorney-General's office, Lansing, Mich., Oct. 21,1897. \ ABTHCB W CIMMEB, ESQ., Chairman board of supervisors of Livingston county, Howeil, Mich. My Dear Sir:—1 have this day been waited upon in my office by a committee of your honorable board, the prosecuting attorney of Livingston county, Mr Louis £ flowlett, and by Mr Timothy Smith, drain commissioner of Livingston county. They represented to me that the board of supervisors of Livingston county had, by resolution, requested my opinion, in writing, as to the legality of certain steps that hare been heretofore taken relative to the cleaning out of a certain drain, known and designated as the "CedarBtverState Swamp Land Improvement," located and established in the townships of Leroy and Locke, in Ingham county, and in the townships of Iosco, Handy and Conway in the county of Livingston. The sole question presented to m o and, as I understand it, the sole question considered by your board is this: A s to whether or not it waa competent for the drain commissioner of your oounty to enter into a contract for the cleaning o u t of said drain as an entirety under a notice which stated, among other things, the following: •'The dimensions of said drain will be found marked on stakes placed along the line of said drain. Said job will be let by sections. T h e section a t the outlet of aaid drain will be let first, and t h e remaining sections in their order up stream, in accordance with t h e diagram now on file with the other papers pertaining to aaid dram in tbe office of the said Livingston oounty drain commissioner, to which reference may be had by all parties interested, and bids be made and received accordingly. Contracts will, be made with the lowest repeoneiblo bidder giving adequate security for the performance of the work in a sum then and there to be fixed by us," etc. T h e question, lp other words, is this, was it legal to let the job as an entirety under a notice stating that it would be let in sections? I am of the opinion that this oould not be done. It is elementary that, in all proceedings similar to the one now under consideration, the notice required by t b e statute must be given. I think it is also equally well settled that a notice in each pcooeedtagSTie this is the real foundation of the proceedings. I t performs a most important function and nan, in numerous decided cases, been oanaidered jurisdictional. T h e notion HI queation did s o t give notion to t h e nueiic of the action Whioh was actually tajses under it. I t is i, '-ft , . / • / I.Me«ei ***• .^'PWs^reaSSJi^BJBflj, a matter ot t h e greatest importance t o taxpayers t h a t public work should n o t only be well done, b u t be done in t h e most eoonomioal manner. In many cases this result cannot be obtained unless t h e widest publicity is Riven. I t is possible that in this very oaae if in t h e notice it had been s e t forth that the j o b was t o be let a s an entirety a large number o f bidders would have been on t h e p o u n d a4d t h e result might have been that t h e vwould have been l e t for a less s u m than that for which It was actually let. B u t b e U a t as i t may, I think It is a matter of great public oonoern w j j h 1 0 * 1 the taxpayers, upon whom the burden is thrown, are greatjy interested, that t o e proceedings b e regular and legal, and that there is a very serious question as t o whether these proceedings were legal. I therefore express this opinion, that the board of supervisors of Livingston county should refuse to order t h e t a x t o be spread for. t h e reason that under t h e notice, as published, t h e drain commissioner had n o legal authority t o let t h e job and make a contract for t h e work in its entirety. Then, parties interested may obtain a writ ofmandamu* from the proper oourt, and In t h e issue, whioh will thereafter be joined, the question of law can be fairly presented to t h e courts and an authoritative and final decision reached. I have examined t h e case of Smith vs. CarloiCy whioh was decided b y t h e supreme oourt in an opinion filed on July 16,1897. In my opinion that case has no application whatever t o the case w e are now considering, for t h e reason that in that case these words are found in t h e notice:' "Said job will be l e t as o n e section, as we determined it t o be impracticable to divide said letting into more than o n e section." There it was expressly stated that the job would be let as an entirety, and not by sections. If t h e course that I advise is followed it seems t o me that it would b e bast for all oonoerned. It t h e supreme oourt should hold that the drain commissioner had t h e power to let the job and enter into t h e contract as h e did then all that will have to be done will be for t h e tax to be duly spread. If, on the other hand, t h e supreme oourt should decide that t h e commissioner had no power t o let t h e job and enter into the oontraot for t h e reason above indicated, then proper proceedings can be instituted to accomplish t h e purpose desired. The whole matter should - be amioably considered, and if s o considered t h e question can b e settled speedily and without muoh expense. Yours very respectfully, F E E D A. MAYNABD, Attorney General.

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

On arriving at the station, Sutherland called up a fly, and ordered it to drive with the greatest possible speed to the Hotel Suisse, a quiet establishment close to the boulevards. Once there, he ordered a private room, conducted Miss Hetherington to it, and proposed that she should wait there while he went in search of Marjorie. At first she rebelled, but she yielded at last "Yes, I will wait," she said. "I am feeble, as you say, Johnnie Sutherland, and not fit to face the fog and snow; byt you'll bring the bairn to me, for I cannot wait V p s ! " Eagerly giving his promise, Sutherland started off, and the old lady, unable to master her excitement, walked feebly about the room, preparing for the appearance of her child. She had the fire piled up; she had the table ladened with food and wine; then she took her stand by the window, and eagerly scanned the face of every passer-by. At length, and after what seemed to her to be hours of agony, Sutherland returned. He was alone. "The bairn; the balm!" she cried, tottering toward him. He made one quick step toward her, pRnght h>r in h<« OTITIS as he replled: "Dear Miss Hetherington, she has gone!" For a moment she did not seem able to understand him; she stared at him blankly and repeated: "Gone! where is she gone?" "I do not know; several weeks ago she left this place with her child, and she has not been seen since." The old woman's agony was pitiful to see; she moaned, and with her trem-: bllng fingers clutched her thin hair. "Gone!" she moaned. "Ah, my God, she is in the streets, she is starving!" Suddenly a new resolution came to her—with an effort she pulled herself together. She wrapped her heavy fur cloak around her and moved toward the door. "Where are you going?" demanded Sutherland. She turned round upon him with liv- %6-faeei— "Going!" she repeated, in a terrible voice. "I am going to him!—to the villain who first learned my secret and stole my bairn awa'!" Miss Hetherington spoke firmly, showing as much by her manner as by her speech that her determination was fixed. Sutherland therefore made no attempt to oppose her; bat he called up a fly, and the two drove to the lodgings which bad been formerly occupied by Marjorie and Caussidiere. To Sutherland's dismay, the rooms were empty, Caussidiere having disappeared and left no trace behind him. For a moment he was at a loss what to do. Suddenly he remembered Adele, and resolved to seek assistaaoe from her. Yet here again he was at a loss. It would he all very well for him to seek out Adele at the cafe, bat to take Miss Hetherington there was another matter. He therefore asked her to return to the hotel and wait wuletly there while he continued the search. This she positively refused to do. "Come awa', Johnnie Sutherland," she said, "and take me with you. If I'm a woman I'm an oM one, and no matter where I gang I mean to find my child." At seven o'clock that night the cafe was brilliantly lit and crowded with a rolaterous company. Adele, flushed and triumphant, having sang one of her most popular songs, was astonished to nee a man beckoning to her from the audience. Looking again, she saw that the men was none other than the young artist—Sutherland. Descending from her rostrum, she eagerly went forward to Join him, and the two passed out of the cafe and stood confronting each other in the street, -Adele," said Sutherland, seising her hands, "where is that —Caussldierer *X3s4maidierer' she repeated, staring at him in seeming amaaement.' , "Tea, Oftuoaidiere! TAsil me where he is, for God's saker Again Adele hesitated—something had happened, of that *he felt awns, tor the man who now stood before her weecertainly not the Sutherland ef other days; them was a look in^hj*;*yes which had never been .there hfttose. "Monsieur,'* she said gently, "tell me first where is madame, hie mtfnf" "Cod raonm; I w a n t . * i n 4 * e r .

She hesitated for a moment, ^ h e n drew from her pocket a piece of paper, scribbled something on It In pencil,and pressed It into Sutherland's hand. "M<A7.sleur," she whispered, "if you find her I—I may see her? Once—only once again?" "Yes." "God bless you, monsieur!" She seized bis hand and eagerly pressed it to her lips, then, hastily brushing away a tear, she re-entered the cafe, and was soon delighting her coarse admirers with another song. Sutherland had been too much carried away by the work he had in hand 1o notice Adele's emotion. He opened the paper she had given him, and read toe address by the aid of the street lamp; then he returned to the- .fly, uhlch stood waiting for him at the i urbstone. He gave his directions to t«he driver, then entered the vehicle; liking his seat beside Miss Hetherington, who sat there like a statue. The vehicle drove off through a series of well-populated streets, then it {-topped. Sutherland leaped out, and to his confusion MIBS Hetherington rose to follow him. He made no attempt to oppose her, knowing well that any guch attempt would be useless. So the two went together up a darkwent hack to the cafe to make further inquiries of Adele. On one thing they were determined, not to rent night or t r y uitU they had found Mftrjorie— alive or dead. <;n« d court, and paused before a door. )'n answer to Sutherland's knock a little maid appeared, and he inquired in as firm a voice as he could command for Monsieur Caussidiere. Yes, Monsieur Caussidiere was at hocme, she said, and if the gentleman wculd give his name she would take it; but this Sutherland could not do. H<. slipped a napoleon into the girl's ha ad, and after a momentary hesitation she showed the two into the very room where the Frenchman sat. He was dressed not in his usual dandified fashion, but in a seedy morning coat; his face looked haggard. He was seated at a table with piles of paper before him. He looked up quietly when the door opened; then seeing MIBS Hetherington, who had been the flrbt to enter the room, he started to his fetit. Madame!" he exclaimed in French, say MademulgeTle~~Hetner- "her a new world tngton?" "Yes," she returned quietly, in the uame tongue, "Miss Hetherington. I have come to you, villain that you «««- fo/ my child!" "Your child?" "Ay, my daughter, my Marjorie! Where is she, tell me?" By this time Caussidiere had recovered from his surprise. He was still rather frightened, but he conquered himself sufficiently to shrug his shoulders, sneer and reply: "Really, madame, or mademoiselle, your violence is unnecessary. I know nothing of your daughter; she left me of her own free will, and I request you to leave my house." But the old lady stood firm. "I will not stir," she exclaimed, "until I have my Marjorie. You took her from her home, and brought her here. What have you done with her? If harm has come to her through you, look to yourself." The Frenchman's face grew livid; he made one step toward her, then he drew back. "Leave my house," he said, pointing to the door; "the person of whom you speak is nothing to me." "It is false; she is your wife." "She is not my wife! she was my mistress, nothing more!" Scarcely had the words passed his lips when the Frenchman felt himself seised by the throat, and violently hurled upon the ground. He leaped to his feet again, and once more felt Sutherland's hard hands gripping his throat "Coward as well as liar," cried the young Scotchman; "retract what you have said, or, by God! I'll strangle you!" The Frenchman said nothing, but he struggled hard to free himself from the other's fierce clutch, while Miss Hetherington stood grimly looking on. Presently Caussidiere shook himself free, and sank exhausted into a chair. "You villain!" he hissed; "you shall suffer for this. I will seek police protection. I will have you cast into prison. Yes, you shall utterly rue the day when yon dared to lay a finger upon me." But Sutherland paid no heed., FtneV GHAPTBR XXXIIL H W Mis* Hetherlntgon wag hastening te confront Caussidiere, Marjo* rie. with her child; was walking wearil y through t h e s t m t s ef Paris. As the daylight faded away the coldhad Increased; the snow was falling heavily, soaking her through and through. Suddenly she remembered what the milk-woman had told her; she would go to the English am haasador--perhape he would give her relief and enable her to get home. She paused once or twice te ask her way, but she eould get no answer. She was nothing more then a street wall, and was accordingly thrust aside ae such. At last a little gamin gave her the information she asked. The place she sought was three miles off. Three miles! She was footsore and faint; she had not a sou in her pocket; and her child was fainting with col* and hunger. It seemed to her that her last hope had gone. Then she suddenly remembered that a certain Miss Dove, a wealthy Bug* lish woman, had founded a home In Paris for her destitute countrywomen. She knew the address, it was nearer than the British Embassy. She dragged herself and child to it. She had just sufficient strength left to ring the bell, when she sank fainting on the threshold of the door. When Marjorie again opened her eyes she was lying in a strange bed. still bending above her. "Where am I?" she cried, starting up; and then she looked around for her child. A cold hand was laid upon her feverishly burning forehead, an4 she was gently laid back upon her pillow. "The child is quite safe," said a lowr sweet voice. "We have put him in a cot, and he la sleeping; try £o sleep, too, and when you waken you will be stronger, and you shall have the little boy." Marjorie closed her eyes and moaned, and soon fell into a heavy, feverish. sleep. Having seized her system, the fever kept its burning hold, and for many days the mistress of the house thought that Marjorie would die; but fortunate-' ly her constitution was strong; shepassed through the ordeal, and one day she opened her eyes on what seemed to> ing that in reality Caussidiere knew en while yen sleep." little of Marjories whereabouts as As knew himself, he at last persuaded < fef** to her, and Miss Hetherington to leave the They drove to the prefect of to set some inquiries on foot; then they For a time she lay quietly looklmr about her, without a movement and without a word. The room in which she lay was- small, but prettily fitted up. There7 were crucifixes on the wall, and dimity curtains to the bed and the windows; through the diamond panes the sun was faintly shining; a cosy fire filled the grate; on the hearth sat a woman, evidently a nurse; while on the hearth-rug was little Leon, quiet as a mouse, and with his lap full of toys. It wss so dreamy and so peaceful that she could just hear the murmur of life outside, and the faint crackling of the fire on the hearth—that was all. She lay for a time watching the two figures as in a vision; then the memory of all that had panted came back upon her, and she sobbed. In a moment the woman rose and came over to her, while little Leon ran to the bedside, and took her thin, white hand. "Mamma," he said, "dont cry!" For in spite of herself Marjorie felt the tears coursing down her cheeksv The nurse said nothing. She smoothed back the hair from her forehead, end quietly waited until the invalid's grief had passed away. Then she said gently: "Do not grieve, madam. The of your illness is over.

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

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

We want men like John Howard and Sir William Blackstone, and women like Elizabeth Fry, to do for tli' prisons of the United States what those people did in other days for the prisons of England. I thank God for what Isaac T.

Oh, this wave of vagrancy and hunger and nakedness that dashes against our front doorstep, I wonder if you hear it and see it as much as I hear and see it! I have been almost frenzied with the perpetual cry for help from all classes and from all nations, knocking, knocking, ringing,, ringing. If the could be lifted so we could look"down" into them just as God looks, whose nerves would be strong enough to stand it? And yet therethe> are. The sewing women, some of thejn In hunger and cold, working nlgntC after night, until sometimes the blood spurts from nostril and lip. How well their grief was voiced by that despairing woman who stood by her invalid husband and invalid child, and said to the city missionary, "I am downhearted. Everything's against us; and then there are other things." ""What other things?" said the city mission- In this class of uprooting and Tt vouring population and untrustwonh officials, "Woe unto thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes drink in the morning!' It 1B a great calamity to a city when bad men get into public authority. Why was it that in New York there was such unparalleled crime between 1866 and 1871? It was because the judges of police in that city, for the most part, were as corrupt as the vagabonds that came before them for trial. These were the days of high carnival for election frauds, assassination and forgery. We had the "Whisky Ring," and the "Tammany Ring," and the "Brie Ring." Thero was one man during those years that got one hundred and twenty-eight thousand dollars in one year for serving the public In a few years it was estimated that there were fifty millions of public treasure squandered. In those times the criminal had only to wink at the judge, or his lawyer would wink for him, and the question was decided for the defendant. Of the eleht thousand people arrested In that city in one year, only three thousand were punished. These little matters were "Used up," while the interests of society were "fixed down." Yon know as well as I that a criminal who escapes only opens the door of other criminalities. It is no compliment to public authority when we have in all the cities of the country, walking abroad, men and women notorious for criminality, unwhlpped of justice. They are pointed out to you in the street by day. There you find what are called the "fences," the men who stand between the thief and the honest man, sheltering the thief, and at great price,. handing over the goods to the owner to whom they belong. There yon wfu find those wao are called the "skinners,*' the men who hover around trail street an^TOnte street, and Third otreet with grea't height of hand m bonds and storkM Ther** 'on fu»3 the i t ry. "Oh," she replied, "my sin." What do you mean by that?" "Well," ihe said, "I never hear or see anything good. It'sySfbrk from Monday morning to Saturday night, and then when Sunday comes I can't go out, and I walk the floor, and it makes me tremble to think that I have got to meet God. Oh, sir, it's so hard for us.

There are the "harbor thieves," the "shoplifters," the "pickpockets," famous all over the cities. Hundreds of them with their faces in the "Rogues gallery," yet doing nothing for the last five or ten years but defraud society and escape justice. When these people go unar* rested and unpunished, it la putting a high premium upon vice, and saying to the young criminals of this country, "What a safe thing it Is to be a great criminal." Let the law swoop upon them! Let it be known in this country that crime will-have no quarter, that the detectives are after it, that the police club is being brandished, that the iron door of the prison Is being opened, that the judge is ready to call the case! Too great leniency to criminals is too great severity to society. •• • • In these American cities, whose cry of want I Interpret, there are hundreds and thousands of honest poor who are dependent upon individual, city and state charltieB. If all their voices could come up at once, it would be a groan that would shake the foundations of the city, and bring all earth and heaven to the rescue. But for the most part it suffers unexpressed. It Bits In silence, gnashing its teeth and sucking the blood of its own arteries, waiting for theNjudgment day. Oh, I should not wonder if on that day It would be found out that some of us had some things that belonged to them; some extra garment which Idaho, commanded Uy Capt, lea, of Buffalo, and havlag on board a erew of 31, all told, left Buffalo laden wit!b",paakafrfl freight 'fn/J^Ofitaukee; A strong southwest gale was blowing a,tthe time and the weather office had storm signals up for the lake.

The sea was running very high at the time and In turning the Idaho shipped a big sea| which quickly quenched the fires, and the boat was helpless fn the {rough of the sea. The captain and crew were lowering the lifeboat when the seamer gave a lurch and went down on her side, stem first, taking the lifeboat with her. Two of the crew, Lewis La Force, second mate and Wm. Gill, of Rochester, a deckhand, managed to reach the top of a single spar that stood above the water. There the 'clung until eight hours later, when they were discovered by the outlook ot» the steamer Mariposa of the Minnesota line. The effort of thostt on board t'n e'Mariposa to rescue the two men involved the greatest possible dauber. The sea Was running very higrh and lifeboats could not be launched. Lines \vi>re thrown to the two men, but their arms and legs had stiffened around the spar and they could do nothing to help themselves. The Mariposa ran as close to the spar as possible and efforts were tableon 1 m a ^ e *° grasp the men while passing. This was repeated several times' and with success at last. The Idsho was an old boat, having been built in 1863. She went out of commission several years ago, but was overhauled this year and put to work again. She was 220 feet long and had a gross tonnage of 1,130. The captain of the ill-fated steamer, Alexander Gillies, was one of the most widely known of lake seamen. He was 41 years old and knew the lake waters like a book. Tnr*« Ken mud Home* Blown to Atows. At Pine Fork, Wetzel county, W. Va., William Conn, of Cuba, N.

While he was inside another two-horse wagon with two men ip it, who have not b*«n identified, drove up. Before these strangers alighted, the magazine blew up with a report heard 10 miles away,- • The only thing found that ever was human was a piece of a man's foot. All else, three human beings, four horses and two wagons, were as if they had never existed. Where the magazine stood was a deep cavesn.

The tribesmen followed the column in strong force, swarming from behind rocks and keeping up s heavy fire at short range. The route of the retreating British was intersected with deep ravines and it was while the soldiers were passing through this ground that the tribesmen rushed upon the troops, fearlessly making their way to close quarters. ~r It is said the Big Four railway will surrey an extension to Grand Rapids, by way of Three Rivera and ffammaiioo.

Why the Kidneys so oftee FatL Nature has provided a certain amount of work for every organ of the human body; overtax them and disease eventually follow*. There la not one portion of our organism that la so overworked as the kidneys; on them is placed the important function of filtering the blood of the impurities which naturally form in the regular action of life and digestion. Tbe kidneys are consequently termed the sewerage of the system; clog up this sewer, -and tbe blood becomes tainted with4>oisonous uric acid, which brings on disease in many forms. Tbe back is the first to show this stoppage. From there cornea the warning note; it should be heeded, and the kidneys receive prompt attention. Doan's Kidney Pills win right the action of the kidneys quickly, relieve the hack of Giins and aches, and cure all troubles of dncys and bladder. Bead the following: Mr. Wm. Nelson is a well-known business man of Kalamazoo, he resides at 622 Portage Street, and his business is that of d grain buyer.

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

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

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

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

He was always sighing for hi* home, and at times this longing possessed him so completely that he seemed on the point of abandoning bis prospeets ef becoming a rich man, _ _ _ - Meredith had been in 111 health, but ten years' residence in the west had made a new man of hhn. Success at last had come our way, and he suddenly announced that he was going home for his Thanksgiving dinner. He was a 'inlet, queer fellow, any way you put st; lately, however, he had seemed wonderfully alert The arrival of the weekly mail found him in a state of great expectation, sad after he had read his letters he would sit quietly all evening looking very happy and smiling as he read them over again. He always was a non-committal ehat), but this time there was no mistaking the signs, s o I suspected his homesickness, and judged his case, as one is apt to do, by the light of my own. No wonder, poor fellow, that he wanted to wipe out the 1,500 miles which alone stood between him and that Thanksgiving turkey! For my own part, I can swear that no power as yet known to man could keep me back from Jim Mckenzie's Thanksgiving dinner, for Mary was to be there—Mary whom all these years I had remembered and loved sjj welL I had never forgotten her beautiful deep, dark eyes, which seemc l to search one's soul with that penetrating look one sees sometimes in a baby's eyes. There was but little but here In the mountains to relieve the tedium of our long evenings, s o Jim MeKenxle's weekly visits were always heralded with Joy- We made merry over his earning, and our carefully prepared dinner we _ regarded as a feast We talked it over in the morning, and when evening came •we began to plan for next week's coming. No wonder MeKenzie was always welcome. His mind was stored with t h e thrilling adventurer, of early days 1 * tfee mountains. We aever tired of 'listening to the story of his own good Buck; how, way down near the stream on fee aide of the mountatsv Ids quick •eye had detected the bits of staining gold; how, i t s / by day sad ail atone, m f oltosNsl «w tke little thread of gold santtt fee had dtooswered the sestet of the sjsovtttata's h e a r t the generous yield M at* which had made h j a the richest a s m to "Golds* Point" With touching p a n e s he snosdsl t e a as of the brave besrfrd men no less worthy than sumhad and geutle sym;••:. J.y l.-u confidently and proudly attributed his entire success and all that was good la him. Then, too, he always brought us news of bis daughter Mary, At first her letters were only outpourings ot h e r homesick, loving heart; she was bom to live in the mountains, and declared she must have the freedom of the mountain bird. After, a while her letters breathed a, more contented spirit. In an Incredibly short time the mountain bird bad teased tq flutter against the bars ot her cage. Her quick and receptive mind soon yielded to the guidance of those about her, and with the full force of an ardent nature she pursued the work of her education. , , Thus from -week to week we listened with delight to the welcome budget Jim would bring. Sometimes Mary's letters were only ot her life at school, her books, her new friends—aud my heart would sink—for then she seemed so far, so. very far away! Again, she would write of herself, of the love she bore her father and her home, with an occasional—a very occasional—message for Harry, at which, of course, my heart would beat with Joy, and I would cough or light my pipe, do anything to hide the tell-tale light I knew was '.n my eyes. During the last year she had written most of ue? home-earning; and lately her letters had taken a tone ot great seriousness, with many allusions to her "duty as a woman." In her latest letter she begged that her father would take her more serious* ly; she "could not be a butterfly," and she spoke of "woman's sphere being broad and far-reaching." MeKenzie only laughed and said, "Poor child! she is sighing for the mountain air." He wrote her of the beautiful Ally he had trained and made ready for her use, and she would soon see for herself bow very long and broad her woman's sphere could be. At last a letter came telling that she was surely coming home, and telliug ow anxious Bhe was to be-wtth-h4m-ea- Thanksgiving Day. She complained ever so gently that she feared he had not taken her exactly as Bhe wished— that she was no longer a child, and that her mind was quite occupied with the problem of "Woman's Mission." In fact* she had lately been made president of the Woman's Emancipation Circle, which organization had originated in her school with, every promise of becoming a power for great good among women. "I subjoin," the added, "the principal maxims for which we pledge ourselves to labor without ceasing: "We claim equal rights before the law. "We ask equal pay for equal work. "We ask that men cease to impose upon us by their empty flattery* and "That we be recognized as reasonable human beings with eyes to see for ourselves; hands to work as we wllL" This time even MeKenzie could not fall to catch her meaning; he looked puzzled and troubled, and finally said: "In the morning she will be half way home and I shall go to meet her. I think," he added slowly, "I think Mary needs her father. Yes, I'm sure—dead sure—ebe needs her father/' Meanwhile I had registered a solemn vow that every claim and every assertion of this New Woman should be disproved and contradicted by Mary In her own sweet self. When I closed my eyes that night it was to dream of Thanksgiving Day and Mary and I really believe that in my sleep I heard the sweet sound of wedding bells. * * * * * * For some time the next day MeKenzie was shyly making his daughter's common »«nae. So It was some tome before she spoke again; and then it was to ask why It was that women did not have equal rights with men before the law. He answered that women surety do have equal rights before Che' law. "You see," my dear, he went oa, "their rights are really identical, their Interests the same; and it Is a man's first notion ot duty to see that these rights are repeeoted. I would like to &ee any parson interfere with your r t h i s or bear of any law that would be unjust to you. By George! I would soon show that your rights were my rights, and that the law exists solely t o r the benefit of^mankind, which you know, my dear, includes woman kind, even the 'New Woman/ too." Poor Mary was confounded. After all, were men and women really equal before the law? It that were so, what became of the enormous injustices and -igait'c nboses .hat women had silently and patiently boras all these years? It all seemed so confusing, so difficult, so Very pussling; she could not ddubt that her father was right—he always was on practical questions. She looked out of the oar window, and was silent. Her eyes were full of tears. It was hard to believe that the Woman's Emancipation Circle was, after all, to have no existence in the world, and that all ot her fine arguments, broad views on the woman subject ^entamrely disappearing—melting away before her father's clear and convincing assertions. She recognized at once that she had met defeat., and with all the bravery she could command, the conversation dinner, and MelCenaie was waiting'for' us on the porch. We went together to look after the broken fence.

"Dont you sse I can not budge this log?" Surely this was my day tor luck! I saw another chance and took it. "Step aside," I said; "let me take It up." With the aid of the tonga and a shovel I easily put the log back in place.

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

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

The uurse, having lifted little Leon iato the bed, returned to her chair'betide the lire, while Marjorle put her arm around the little fellow's shoulders and presently ffcll asleep. Now" that the fever had actually passed away, Marjorie's convalescence was.rapid, , . \' She still kept to her bed, befng too weak oxen to move without assistance, and during the day little Leon was conr stantly with her. She asked a few questions, and the more she heard the more her curiosity was aroused. One day she inquired t o r the srave lady whose face she dimly remembered to have seen, and who she now heard was the mistress of the house. In the afternoon the lady came to the bedside. Marjorle was sitting up in bed that day, propped up by pillows, Rooking the very ghost of what she had once been; while on the bed beside her Was little Leon, surrounded by his toys. He looked up, laughed, and clapped his hands when Miss Dove came in, but she only smiled and gently rebuked him for his boisterousness. Then she sat down beside, th bed and took Marjorie's hand. "Well, my child," she said, "so you are rapidly getting well." For a moment Marjorie was s i l e n t - she could not speak. The tears were blinding her eyes and choking her |^h1ta,^you voice, but she bent her head and kissed the hand that had saved her. "Come, come," said Miss Dove, "you must not give way like this. Tou have to tell me all about yourself, for at present I know absolutely nothing." With- an effort, Marjorle conquered her emotion and dried her tears. But what had she to tell?—nothing, tt seemed, except that she Was friendless and alone. "Nay," said the lady, gently. ' T o u are not that; from the moment you entered this door you had friends. But tell-me, m y child, how was It I found you and your child starving upon my threshold? Tou have a husband, perhaps? Is he alive or dead?" . _JMnr1nriift shook hfir hfmd made when she spoke of them one night to Miss.Dove. The lady listened quietly, then she said: "You would rather remain in Paris, Marjorle, than go home?" "Madame, I have no home.." "Tou have Annandaie Castle." She shook her head. "Indeed, it is not my home now! I wrote, and there was no answer." -"But suppose you heard that that was all a mistake; suppose you learned that your dear mother was ready to open her arms to receive you, what would you say then, my child?" Marjorle did not reply. If the truth must be told, her troubled heart found little comfort in the thought of a meeting with Miss Hetherlngton. At last, after long reflection, she spoke: "I know my mother—she i s my mother—is very good; but It has all been a fatality since I was born, and I can hardly realize yet that we are so close akin. Ah! if I had but known, madame! If she had but told me at the first, I should never have left Scotland, or known so much sorrow!" Miss Dove elghed in sympathetic acquiescence. "It Is a' sad story," she replied. "Tour mother, proud lady as she is, has been a great sinner; bat she has been terribly punished. Surely, my do nnoott bDeeaarr any anger against her in your heart?" * "None, madame; but she is so strange and proud. I am almost afraid of her still." "And you have other loving friends," continued the lady, smiling kindly, "Do you remember Mr. Sutherland?" "Johnnie Sutherland?" cried Marjorie, joyfully. ^"Who told you of h i m f ' "Himself. He Is back here in Paris." Marjorle uttered a cry of delight. **Tou have seen him? Tou have spoken to him? He knows " ""He knows everything, my child; and he is waiting below till I give him the signal to come up. Can you bear to see him?" There was no need to ask that question.— Marjorie's flushed—cheek—aad- "He is here, in Paris, madame." "And his name is Caussidiere, Is it not? So Leon hag told me.", ^*TB*r "madameT Monsieur Caussidiere." "We must seek him out," continued Miss Dove. "Such conduct is not to be endured. A man has no right to bring his wife to a foreign country and then desert her." "Ah, no,** cried Marjorle; "you must not do that. I will leave the house whenever you wish, madame, but do not tores me to see him again." Miss Dove looked at her for a moment in silence; then she rang for the nurse, lifted Leon from the bed, and sent him away. «*Now, my child," she said, when the two women were alone, "tell me your story." And Marjorie told it, or as much of it as she could recall. She told of her early life in the quaint old manse in Annaadala with Mr. Lorraine Solomon and Wysie; of Miss Hetherlngton, and of the Frenchman who came with his spacious tongue and wooed her away. Then stte told of Tier MTe in Paris, of her gradual, estrangement from all her friends, and finally of her desertion by the man whom until then she had believed to be her husband. "So," said the lady, when she had finished, "you were married by the English law, and the man is in reality not your husband. Well, the only thing We can do is to leave him alone altogether, and apply to your friends." Marjorie shook her head. "That is useless, madame," she said. "When my little boy had naught but starvation before him I wrote to my soother .1A Annandaie, but she did not answer' me." • Is that s o r "Tea, madame, it is true." "It is very stra*«,M she gaid, "but w e must see what can be done, Marjorie— may I call you Marjorle? In the meantime you -most not think of ail these sad things. Tou mast amuse yourself with Leon and get wall quickly, and «ay taak will ha the lighter/' After this interview Mies Dove visited Marjorle every day, and sometimes tat for an hour or more by her bedside; and when at length the invalid, who Strength e f e r y r ^ ^ - ~ # i s r a b l e rise from her bed, she lay upon a conch by the window, and watehed the sunshine creeping into the streets. ft was not ilk* Marjorie, to raurfn Soae, a*4 as the weakness passed away ^er fcrain tgsftarto work, planning lor * * : . * » * • * « a e * a 4 several eohemea ~"> • " sparkling eye had answered it Ion* before. Miss Dove Btole quietly from the room, and almost immediately—reap* peared, followed by Sutherland himself. "Marjorie! my poor Marjorler he cried, seizing her hands and almost sobbing. But who was this that Marjorie saw approaching, through the mist of her owp joyful tears? A stooping figure, leaning upon a staff, turning toward her a haggard face, and stretching out a trembling palsied hand. It was Miss Hetherlngton, trembling and weeping, all the harsh lineaments softened with the yearning of a mother's love. ' "My bairn! my bairn!" "Oh, mother! mother!" cried Marjorie; and mother and daughter clung together, reunited in a passionate embrace. soon, in his pretty broken English, learned to ceil her "grandmejuma," "We beg** wY a bar aimiatar," said the lady one day, as they sat together; "hut there's » o blame and n o shame, Marjorie, on you and yours.. Tour son la the heir of Annandaie." "Oh, mother," cried Marjorle, sadly, "horn oaa that be? I am a mother, but no wife." "Tou're wife to yon Frenchman," answered Miss Hetherlngton: "ay, his lawful wedded wife by"the English and the Scottish law. Out there in Prance he might rejcot you by the law of man; but here in Scotland, you're his true wife still, though I wish, with all my heart, you were his widow instead." "Is that so, mother?" "True as gospel, Marjorie. It's wi' me the shame lies, like the bright speck of blood on the hands of the thane's wife, which even the perfumes of Araby .couldna cleanse awa'!" "Don't talk of that, mother!" cried Marjorle, embracing th* old lady. "I am sure you are not tt blame." "And you can forgive me, my bonny bairn?" ' "T have nothing to forgive; you were deceived as—as I have b e t . . Oh, mother, men are wicked!—I think they have evil hearts." The old lady looked long and fojdly in her daughter's face; then she said, with a loving smile: "I ken one man that has the hsart of a king—ay, of an angel, Marjorie." "Who, mother?" "Who but Johnnie Sutherland? my blessings on the lad! But for him, I should have lost my bairn forever, and it, was for his sake, Marjorie, that I wished ye were a widow indeed!" Marjorie flushed a deep crimson and turned her head away. Sutherland's unswerving devotion had not failed to touoh her deeply, and Bhe understood it now in all its passionate depth and strength; but she still felt herself under the shadow of her old sorrow, and ITEMS OP NEWS. i I M P O R T A N T A N D INTERESTING MATTERS IN BR1EP.

HEY took her home with her little boy to Annandaie, and there in the old C a s t l e Marjorie soon recovered her health a n d h e r s t r e n g t h . I t was winter still; the landscape was white with snow, t h e trees h u n g heavily under the icy load, and a blue mask of ice covered the flowing Annan from bank to bank; but to Marr Jorie all was gladsome and familiar as she moved about from scene to scene. She wore black, like a widow, and so did little Leon; and, indeed, it was a common report everywhere that her husband was dead, and that sife was left alone. A s to Miss Hetheriugton's secret, all the world knew it now, for the swift tongue of scandal had been busy before Marjorie's return. Heedless of the; shame, heedless of all things in the world, save her joy in the nnssiisshini of her daughter, the grand old lady remained in deep seclusion ia her lonely ancestral home. In these sad, yet happy days, who could be gentler than Miss Hetherlngton? The mask of her pride fell off forever, and snowed a mother's loving face, sweetened with humility and heavenly pity. She. was worn and feeble, and looked very old; but whenever Marjorie was near s h e was happiness itself. Toe fullest measure of her love* however, was reserved tor Marjerie* ohila. Little L i p s had n o fear of aer, a i d she knew that the tie which bound her to Cau8sldlere could only be broken by death. * • * • • • Thus ti-ne passed on, until the dreary desolate winter of that terrible year, so memorable to France and Frenchmen, set in with all its vigor. There was little Joy for Sutherland. Indeed, his trials were becoming almost more than he could bear, and he was wondering whether or not, after all, he should leave hiB home and Marjorie, when there came a piece of news which fairly stunned him. It came In the shape of a letter and a paper from his Parisian artist friend. The letter, after a few preparatory words, ran as follows: —"You may be shocked, but I hardly think you will be sorry to hear of the death of your littte friend's husbkad, Leon Caussidiere. He disappeared In a most mysterious manner, and is supposed to have been privately put to death. What he was, Heaven knows! but he mixed a good deal in politics, and judging from what you told me about him, I shouldn't be at all earprised to hear that he W«LS a spy. Will, at any rate, whatever he was he is gone —peace be to his soul, and I fancy the world will get on a good deal better without him than with him. At any rate, a certain part of It will, I know! With this I send a paper, that you may read the official account of the death of your friend, and know that there is no mistake about i t " Having finished the letter, Sutherland turned to the papei*—glanced down Its columns; came upon a marked paragraph, and read as follows in the French tongue: "Caussidiere, holding an officer's commission under -the Committee of Public Safety, has been convicted of treasonable practices and put to death. He was tried by military tribunal, and executed yesterday." Sutherland put down the paper and held his hands to his head; he was like a man dazed. Was he glad? No, ho would not allow himself to feel glad - t o rejoice in the death of a fellowcreature, even though he was his enemy. And yet, if Caussidiere was dead, Marjorie was free. The very thought seemed to turn his braih. He put both the letter and the paper in his pocket, and went up to his room. He couiu not work, but he sat down among his pictures and tried t o think. What must he do? Go to Marjorle? No, he could not do that—for she would detect the joy in his face and voice, and her sensitive nature would recoil from him, and that he could not bear. He must not see her; other lips than his must tell the news. He remained all the morning ahut up in his room, but in the afternoon h* left the house, and walked slowly across the fields toward Annandaie Castle. (TO ME OOmitCBD.) ; Washington: The Bering sea meeting, in which representatives of Great Britain, Canada and the United flutes have participated, has come to a close, the seal experts making a unanimous report concerning the condition of the seal herds, and the diplomatic representatives of the respective governments reaching an understanding by which they hope at a later day to effect final adjustment not onlj of the Bering sea question but of other pending border controversies. For the present, however, no final action was taken as to the suspeo6iou of pelagic sealing. The Canaoians urged that other questions be embraced in any plan of settlement, and suggested an international commission to accomplish this end. This proposition was fully discussed, and an agreement reached that the Canadian officials would pub their views in writing after returning to Ottawa and submit them to the authorities here. All parties concerned say that the outlook is favorable to a satisfactory adjustment The unanimous agreement of the experts brings the governments together for the first time on all the facts relating to the Beals. This agreement was reached after painstaking comparison of notes, which show, in brief, that not over one-fourth the number of seals are now to be found in the Bering sea tbat were there a few years ago and that pelagic sealing would scon practically extinguish the species in tnat region. Small Chance for Canadian Reciprocity. It is stated in Washington dispatches that Sir Wilfrid Laurler and Sir Louis Davies, the Canadian diplomats who went to Washington to discuss international questions with U. S. officials, are discouraged over the poor prospects of success in their negotiations for a reciprocity treaty with the United States. They feel certain that if the power to complete a treaty rested with the state department alone they would be able to come to an agreement. The influence which the Canadians fear is the same that drove Sir Richard Cartwright home so quickly when he went to Washington during the consideration of the Dingley bill to see what could be done in the way of securing, reciprocity for Canada. The influence is much the same as that which secu red the insertion in-the Din giey^bill of a special provision to a certain extent annulling the tariff on lumber so far as certain N e w Englanders are concerned. It is also the same influence which, evidently fearing a reciprocity treaty with Canada, placed a few words in the bill making it necessary that any sach treaty must be ratified by the house as well as by the senate. Qveatlaa ta Coma np Kaiiy. It i s expected that an effort will be made daring the first week of congress to secure action of the Morgan resolution extending- belligerent rights to the Cubans, which passed the senate last session and which was held up in the house because of the failure of Speaker Reed to name a committee on foreign affairs. There is- no question as to the ability of the friends of this resolution to pass it through the house provided they can brintr it to a vote, and, in view of the fact that the rules provide a means by which a committee can be forced to report it, it is more than probable that a vote can be peached before the Christmas recess. Dispatches from Havana say: The insurgents are again active thoughout central and eastern Cuba. It is understood that they will shortly make a bold demonstration as proof that they have not accepted autonomy and to induce the U. S. congress to recognize their rights as belligerents^ Throughout the island general dissatisfaction exists among the Spanish troops who oppose the policy of coaxing the insurgents and according them kind treatment which they believe will facilitate the plans of the insurgents. The annexation of Cuba to the United States is gaining in favor among the mercantile and foreign elemeutsin the island. Hawaii Will Sorely b« Aaaexed. Ratification of the Hawaiian annexation treaty by the United States senate is assured. The administration has made a poll of that body and President MeKinley is satisfied that more than two-thirds of the senators will vote for ratification.

An audience of over 1,500 people present a t the formal opening of the> state Sunday school convention in the Auditorium at Port Huron. Mayer Boyntoo delivered the address of welcome. Judge Jamas N. Da via, of Kalamazoo, president of the State aaeomV tion, responded. The report of the executive committee, read by George Parsons, of Watervilet, showed that of 83 counties in Michigan all but. Alger* Baraga and Ontonagon had regularly organized Sunday schools and preparatory work had been carried on in the three counties mentioned. During toe past year 87 full county conventions had been held. Reference was made to the world's Sunday school convention to be held in London, Bng., commencing July 11, 1898. The first world's convention was held in London in 1889 and Michigan had 38 of 400 Americans present The custom of holding Sunday school rallies recently adopted had been very productive of good results on account of ita non-sectarian and patriot!? spirit. Fifteen counties held district rallies during the past year. The financial part of the report showed a deficiency in the treasury of «150. The following officers were elected: President, G. J. Diekema, of Holland; vice-presidents, H. L. Wiltoa, of Detroit; Judge J. H. Grant, of Manistee; Rev. J. W* McDougall, of Otsego; P. Klelufeldt, of East Saginaw; recordingsecretary, H. J.

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

Carver, of St. Augustine, Fla., is experimenting with the sugar producing properties of watermelons. He has so far found that he can extract a fine taffy candy sugar at the proportion of one ounce to eight ounces of the melon pulp without the rind. Dr. Carver is going to ascertain the proportion of saccharine matter in the whole watermelon, for he believes, from experiments he has made, that a large quantity can be extracted from tbe rind, as well as from the pulp or heart of the melon. H e says he is positive a sugar of sqperior delicacy can be made from the melon.

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

Give them winter store* as at<m after September 10 or 15 as the absence of brood in the majority of the combs will permit, taking out tht combs with the least honey and replacing them with full ones or nearly so. Do mot divide the stores at each side ot the brood neet, but put the fullest at one side, and so on, with the least honey at the other side. Next, with your knife cut a hole tn each comb, put tt half wsy between the two side bars and almost two-thirds of the distance up from the bottom bar. These are for winter passages, and. allow access through the cluster of bees without passing out of it, as the bees would have to do when passing around the comb, either top, bottom or sides.

Turning locomotives at divisional point* and terminals la a service of ^ttueh annoyance and no little expense ' to railroad companies. It generally takes four men to turn a locomotive, and while they are doing so their ragalar work is abandoned. Experiment* were made with an electric motor, on the 60-foot tarntable at Cbillleotbe with such success that the Park 8tr«et turn-table in Cincinnati was similarly eojitpped.

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

"If he wasna ripe, do you think he would be gathered?" exclaimed Miss Hetherington, with something of her old fierceness of manner. "My certie, he was ripe—and rotten; Lord forgive me for miscalling the dead! But, Marjorie, my bairn, you're o'er tenderhearted. Forget the past! Forget everything but the happy future that lies before you! Think you're just a youns lass marrying for the first time, and marrying as good a lad aa ever wore ahoon north o* the Tweed." Marjorie rose from her seat, and walking to the window, looked dreamily down at the Castle garden, still tangled as a maze and overgrown with*3 weeds. As she did so, she heard a child's voice, calling In French : "Maman! Mam&nr It was little Leon, pekying in the ,old garden, attended by a Scottish serving maid, who had been taken on as nurse.

They found the old man In the garden, looking unusually bright and hale; hot h t o e s i k was still confused; he mingled the present with the past, and continued to speak of Marjorie, and to address her, a* if she were still a child. The sun was setting when they left him, turning their steps toward Annandale Castle. They lingered slowly along "the-foad, talking of Indifferent things, and sweetly happy in each other's society, till it was growing dark. Then Marjorie held out her hand. "Let me go with you to the Castle gate," said Sutherland eagerly. "Not to-night," answered Marjorie. "Pray, let me walk alone, with only little Leon." Very unwillingly he acquiesced, and suffered her to depart. He watched her sadly till her figure disappeared In the darkness, moving toward the' lonely bridge across the Annan. Having wished Sutherland goodnight, Marjorie took the child by the hand and walked back across the meadows toward the Castle. It was a peaceful gloaming; the stars were shining brightly, the air was benny; s o she sauntered along, thinking dreajnily~~b? the past She walked up by the bridge, aad looked down at Annan Water, l o w i n g peacefully onward.

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

Another thing that adds interest to this historic building is the fact that George Washington was one of the original vestry and helped to build the church, purchased the first pew that was sold, No. 5, which he continued to occupy as long as he lived.

In the schools and colleges, pub- He sjsi privets, there were then enrolled* lt\N7,9T psjpils—en Increase in one year of «08,576. As only 1.&&1.826 of these were in private institutions, parochial and otherwise, the friends of public ethoole can contemplate the sltuatton with composure, Put the order of the day which may still be pressed upon the committee of the whole people aa "urgent" is a steady improvement of our educational methods.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But before he could reach Sutherland's side his father clutched him and drew him back, grasping the child so roughly as to make him moan with pain. Then, white and furious, Caussidiere faced Sutherland. "So, it is you!" he exclaimed. "How dare you intrude here? Leave this room." Sutherland, who had placed his back to the door and put the key in his pocket, made no attempt to move. He was able to keep his self-control, but his face was white as death. "Monsieur Caussidiere." he said, "I have eome for that child." "Really," aaid Caussidiere, with a sneer; "then perhaps you will tell me what you propose to offer for him?

But pray tell herfrom me that her child remains with her husband, not her lover." In a moment Sutherland had caught him by the threat. "Scoundrel!" he cried. "Letme go!" hissed Caussidiere. "If you have taken my wife for your mistress, you shall not bully me!" But he aaid no more.

Electricity will be Tjsed. The great national encampment ot the Maccabees will be held in August of next yeaFlnAdrian and will continue oyer five days. •Postmaster "Doc'* A. W. Smith has succeeded with the aid of his friends in the Maccabee ranks and others in securing pledges to the amount of $1,800, the sum deemed necessary to take care of the incidental expenses in entertaining the Maccabeej of the United'States at the meeting in question. It is eaid that in some sections of the country farmers are buildr ing stables out of baled straw, the bales being used for walls, same as bricks. Tbe bales are held to* get her by means of long, sharp wooden pino which are driven through them- Openings are left for doors and windows and a rye straw roof completes the struoture. Stables so constructed are warm and will last several years. The expense of construction is very small. The government is to issue a new series of postal cards in December, the first print of which will be eagerly sought by collectors.- as they are promised to be of especial artistic merits. It is ininteresting to note that our government prints over half a mil- ' lion cards annually for domestic use in this country. Many will remember the first cards issued, these had straight lines on their addressed facer^~wtichi;h©--pnblic felt so insulted that they refused to purchase and the issue had to be called in. By the way, Austria was the originator of the postal card and that only 27 years ago. If you trespass upon a farmer's laud by hunting thereon without his permission, here is the penalty that may be inflicted upon conviction in a justice court: Howell's statutes says: To hunt for game witV firearms, dogs or otherwise on the enclosed lands or premises of another without the permission of the owner or lessee is a missdemeanor. The penalty, on conviction, is a fine of not less than $5 nor more than 120 in the discretion of the court and costs. And if the fine is not paid, the defendant shall be confined in the county jail not less than five or more than thirty days. This complaint, however, must be made by the owner or The wife of the President has given special permission to John Phillip Sousa "The March Kong" to dedicate to her bis new composition, just finished and which will be called "The Lady of tbe White House."

A few of them paid him in cash, but far the greater number said It was not convenient then but would pay him later. A few months passed and the man's bank account ran low. "How is this?" he said.

How would it change your home life, the ^ lives of your brother and other relatives? How would it affect your business connections aud business? What changes would it make in financial, city, state and national affairs? It is these interesting problems which a writer in the December Cosmopoliation has undertaken to sketch under the heading of "A Brief History of Our Late War With Spain" at the same time vividly deji3ribin4j^_ihe_^xciting scenes of hostilities. This same number of the Cosmopolitan has an article on 'The Well-dressed Woman" by Elsie de Wolfe, a contrast of the characters of Henry George and Oharles A. Dana by John Brisben Walker in another place "The Loves of Goethe" while Well's story "The War of the Worlds" which has been so widely read, reaches its conclusion in an unexpect<)d way. The Grand Trunk Railway System calls your attention to its annual Canadian excursions which will be given on December 16, 17 and 18, 1897 and tiokets to all Canadian points will be sold at a single fare for the round trip. They will be valid to return up to and including January 7,1898, no tickets being sold east of Pontiac oh the D-AM. division and Imlay City on the C. & G. T. division. The Grand Trunk Railway desires to call the attention of intending excursionist* to the long limit given on thiB cheap excursion, giving an opportunity to visit your Canadian friends and relatives during the holidays at cheap rates. The Grand Trunk Railway will run three trains daily in each -direction, with Pullman sleepers on night trains and parlor cars on day trains to all prominent points. Tickets are optional going and returning viaDetroit-or Port Huron and the Great S i Clair Tunnel. Rates, tickets and information may be had from all agents of this company and connecting lines. vast number of accounts, so small and scattered that I cannot get around and collect it fast enough to pay expenses." So he posted up a public notice and asked all who owed him to pay quiokly. But few came. ~ The rest said "Mine is only a small matter, and I will go and pay one of these days" forgetting that though each account was very Bmall, when all were put together thov meant a large sum to the man. Things went on thus: the man got to fooling so badly that he fell out of bed and awoke, and running to his granary found his one- thousand eight hundred bushels of grain still there. He had only been dreaming, he haden't sold his wheat at all. < Moral—The next day the man went to the publisher of his paper and said: "Here sir, is the pay for your paper; and when next years subscription is MfMM 35 due yon can depend on me to pay it prompt*?.

Cline advertised in religious publications, offering to seud for three two-cent stamps, samples of a wheat which he christened "Early Surprise." He also dealt in "crimson clover." Upon the receipt of the stamps Cliue mailed several grains of ordinary wheat and a circular couched in a scriptural language, advising his victims that "whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." He offered to sell wheat .for seeding at $1.50 a bushel, and his order book shows that h e had victims in nearly every state and aa far south ss North Carolina, the average order being for ten bushels. When he was captured hie valise contained nearly a thousand letter orders lor grain. Tbe postofice at Columbus says thai he has averaged in money ordere alone #100 a day.

During the recent mayoralty campaign in Greater New York t h e supporters of Seth Low distributed docum e n t s as follows: Posters, 751; placards, 33,165; handbills, 909,000; cards, 677,783; pamphlets, 436,464; books, 21,- 600; lithographs, 91,000, m a k i n g a total of over 2,000,000. And y e t the great m a s s of the readers of t h e s e documents voted for somebody else than Mr. Low. T h e Low •literature acted like a boomerang, inflicting its greatest injuries upon its projectors. That the opponents of civil service are not without hope of abolishing that system Is evident from the establishment of a fortnightly periodical in Washington for the purpose of fighting "openly and above board t h e obnoxious, un-American farce commonly k n o w n a s civil service reform." The easiest way to dispose of the publication— if It were likely to become formidable— would be to give the editor a civil services position, w h e n he would at once become an enthuaiatic admirer of the system. The monthly statement of the public debt s h o w s that a t the close of business o n Oct. 30, 1897, the debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted to | 1 , - 020,643,901, an increase for the month of $8,441,188. This i n c r e a s e / i s principally accounted for by a decrease In the a m o u n t of cash o n hand. The cash i n the treasury is classified as follows: Gold, $190,387,25«; silver, $509,- 361,943; paper, $113,441,000; bonds, disbursing officers' balances, etc., 118,489,766; total, $831,669,957; against which there are demand liabilities amounting t o $623,913,857; leaving the n e t c a s h balance in the treasury $207,- 756.099. Just a week ago the United States court of appeals at S t Louis held that a boycott by labor against capital Is a criminal conspiracy. N o w an Illinois state court a t Chicago has decided that a "blacklisting" b y capital against labor is equally unlawful and had awarded a ''blacklisted" laborer $21,66648 damages. If the boycott were sound in law, then t h e blacklist would also be sound. B u t these courts, dealing out e v e n justice, h a v e declared t h e truth t h a t blacklist and boycott are equally odious, equally hostile to democratic institutions and ideas. It is fortunate t h a t these t w o decisions came s o closely together. The object lesson they present will not be lost upon either labor or capital. Of late there is a very noticeable demand o n the part of t h e .American people for a h i g h e r s t a a d a s d y literature. This i s mot o n l y evident at the book stalls but o n the n e w s stands. Sensational books and journalism have had their day in the large eities.

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

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

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

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

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

The government money now outstanding (December. 1) consists of $846,481,016 of United States notes, tl()?,MMst> of treasury notes issued by authority of the law of L890, 1384.96*.- tjM' of silver certificates, and $61,280,761 of standard silver dollars. With the great resources of the government and with the honorable example of the* past before us, we ought not to hesitate to enter upon a currency revision which will make our demand obligations leas onerous to the government, and relieve our financial laws from ambiguity axid doubt. The brief review of what was accomplistied from the close of the war to 18SS, makes unreasonable and groundtoes any distrust either of our financial ability or sound aeon; while the situation from USS to Wft must admonish congress of the Inuaoaiate necessity of so legislating as to make the return of the conditions then prevailing impossible. There are many plans proposed as a remedy for the evil. Before we can find the true remedy we must appreciate the real evil, i t is not that our currency of every kind is not good, for every dollar of >t is good—good because the government's pledge LB out to keep it so. and that pledge will not be broken. However In the country, with sufflcii the expenses of the government, we may feel no Immediate embarrassment from our present currency; but the danger still exists, and will be ever present, menacing us so long as the existing system continues. I concur with the secretary of the treasury In his recommendations that national banks be allowed to issue notes to the face value of the bonds which they have deposited for circulation, and that the tax on circulating notes secured by deposit of such bonds be reduced to one-half of one per cent per annum. I a'so join him in recommending that authority be given for,, the establishment of national banks with a minimum capital of $25/.00. This will enable the smaller villages and agricultural regions of the country to be supplied with currency to meet their .needs. I recommend that the Issue of national bank notes be restricted to the denomination of ten dollars and upward. If the suggestions I have herein made shall have the approval of congress, then I would recommend ttvarfc-Matlonal banks be required to redeem their notes ih^gold. Tbe Cuban <)Wntlon. The most important problem with which thlB government ia now called upon to deal pertaining to its foreign relations concerns its duty toward Spain and the Cuban insurrection. Problems and conditions more or less in common with those now existing have confronted tills government at various timed in the past. The story of Cuba for many years has been one of unrest; growing discontent; an effort toward a larger enjoyment of Hiberty and self-control; of organized resistance to the mother country; of depression after distress and warfare, and of ineffectual settlement to be followed by renewed revolt. For no enduring period since—th_e enfranchisement of the continental posseslIonlP1^©"*—Spain—la- the. has the condition 'of the guaranty of our purpose to keep the pledge will be bast* shown by advancing toward its fulfillment. The evil of the present system is found In the great cost to the government of maintaining the parity of our different forms of money. that is. keeping all of them at par with Eld. We surely can not be longer heedis of the burden this Imposes upon the people, even under fairly prosperous conditions, while the past four years have demonstrated that it Is not only an <xpeoalve charge upon the government, but a dangerous menace to national credit. It la manifest that we must devise some plan to protect the government against bond issues for repeated redemptions. We must either curtail the opportunity for \ •peculation, ansae easy by the multiplied redemptions of our demand obligations, or Increase the gold reserve for their redemption. We have WO.OWMW of currency which the government, by solemn enactment, has undertaken to keep at par with K i d . Nobody Is obliged to redeem In gold t the government. The banks are not required to redeem in gold. The government Is obliged to keep equal with gold all its outstanding currency and coin obligations, while its receipts are not required to be paid in goM. They are paid In every kind of money but gold* and the only means by which the government can with certainty get gold la by borrowing. It can get it in no other way when. It nsoat needs I t The government, witaoat any-Axed gold revenue, is pled—I -to • maintain gold redemption, which It has ateaally and faithfully done, and whioh. under the authority now given, it will continue to d a . ^ The law which requires the government, after haa^nx redeemed its United States notes, to pay them out again as current funds, demands a constant replenishment of the itold « a e r v e . Tnto i s especially^ee I In times of business panic and when the ' revenues are meuBolent to meet tbe expenses of the government. At such times 1 the government baa no other way to sup--1 ply Its deficit and maintain redemption but through the Increase of its bonded western continent Cuba or the policy of Spain toward Cuba not caused concern to the United States. The prospect from time to time that I the weakness of Spain's hold upon the island, and the political vicissitudes and embarrassments of the home government might lead to the transfer of Cuba to a continental power, called forth, between L828 and I860, various emphatic declarations of the policy of the United States to permit no disturbance of Cuba's connection with Spain unless in the direction of independence or acquisition by us through purchase; nor has there been any change of this declared policy since upon the part of the government. The revolution which began in 1863 lasted for ten years, despite the strenuous etforta of the successive peninsula governments to suppress it. Then, as now, the government of the United States testified its grave concern and offered its aid to put an end to bloodshed in Cuba. The overtures made by Gen. Grant were refused, and the war dragged on, entailing grat loss of life and treasure, and increased injury to American interests, beldes throwing ennanced burdens ot neu- --..... „.^„ tv,\a government. In 1878 Indeed precise propo avoid embarrassment to that government All that was u*ked or expected was that some safe way might be speedily provided and permanent peace restored. T h e D O B S ' ">.". e HI* P r o m i s e s . The reply to our note is In the direction of a better understanding. It appreciates the friendly purposes of this government. It admits that our country Is deeply affected by the war In Cuba, and that its desires for pi ace ere jest. It dec'ares that the present apanisn government 's bound by every consideration to a change of policy that should satisfy the United States and pacify Cuba within a reasonable time. To this end Spain has decided to put Into effect the political reforms heretofore advocated by the present premier, without halting for any consideration in the path which in Us judgment leads to peace. The military operations, it is said, will continue, but will be humane and conducted, with all rosrard for private rights, being accompanied by political action leading to the autonomy of Cuba, while guarding Spanish sovereignty. This, It is claimed, will result In investing Cuba with a distinct personality; the island to be governed by an executive and by a local council or chamber, reserving to Spain the control of the foreign relations, the army and navy and the judicial administration. To accomplish this the present government proposes to modify existing legislation by decree, leaving the Spanish cartes, with the aid of Cuban senators and deputies, to solve, the economic problem and properly distribute the existing debt. In the absence of a declaration o£ the measures that this government proposes to take in carrying out Its proffer of good offices is susgostn that Spain be left free to conduct military operations and grant political reforms, while the United States, for its part, shall enforce its neutral obligations and cut Off the assistance which it is asserted the insurgents receive from this country. The supposition of an indefinite prolongation of the war is denied. It is asserted that tfte western provinces are already well <nigh reclaimed; that the planting of cane and tobacco therein has been resumed, and that, by force of arms and new and ample reforms, very early and complete paciueatlon is hoped for, The immediate amelioration of existing conditions under the new administration of Cuban affairs is predicted, and that, without the disturbance and air occasion for any change of attitude on the part of. the United States. C h a r g e * Atfuinat t n c l e S a w . Discussion of the question of the international duties and responsibilities of the United States as Sparn understands them is pregefrted. <wlrh mi appaient disposition and writers interna!Ion which have been observed by natlona of dignity, honesty and power, when Tree1 from sensitive or selfish and unworthy motives, I fail to find In the insurrection the existence of such a substantial political organisation, real, palftaU* and manifest to the world, having the forms and capable of the ordinary functions of government toward its own people and to other states with courts, for the administration of justice, with i local habitation, possessing such organization of force, such material, such occupation of territory as to take the contest out of the category of a mere rebellious insurrection, or occasional skirmishes and place It on the terrible footing of war, to which a recognition of belligerency would aim to elevate it. The contest, moreover, is solely on land: the insurrection has not possessed itself of a single seaport whence it may send forth Its flag, nor has it any means of communication with foreign powers except through the military lines of its adversaries. No apprehension of any of these sudden and difficult complications which a war upon the ocean is. apt to precipitate upon the vessels, both commercial and national, and upon the con- , sular officers of other powers, calls for the ; definition of their relations to the parties : to the contest. "Considered as a question of expediency, I regard the nccordance of belligerent rights still to be as unwise and premature. as I regard it to be, at present, indefensible as a measure of right. Such recognition entails upon the country, according the rights which flow from it difficult and complicated duties, and requires the exaction from the contending parties of the strict observance of their rights and obligations. It confers the right of search upon the. high 'Seas by vessels of both parties; it would subject the carrying: of arms and munitions of war, which now may be transported fr< e!y and without Interruption In vessels of the United States, to detention and to possible - aelatire; It would givo rise to countless vexatious questions, responsibility for act done by the insurgents, and would invest Spain with the right to exercise the supervision recognised by our treaty of 1795 over our commerce on the high seas, a very large part of which, in its traffic between the Atlantic and the gulf states, and between all of them and the states on the Pacific, passes through, the waters which wash the shores of CuTaa. The exercise of this supervision could' scarce fail to lead, If not to abuses, certainly to collisions perilous to the peaceful relations of the two states. •- .1....1 J^..W* „„ tn what reto charge us with failure in this regard. This charge is without' any basis in fact It could not have been made If Spain had been cognizant of t£e,constant efforts this government has made at the cost of millions, and by the employment of the administrative machinery of the nation at command to perform Its full doty, according to the law of nations. That it has successfully prevented pthe departure of a single military expedition or armed ready been set on foot to relieve tnwnor* rors of starvation, 'ihe power of* the Spanish armies,-It Is asserted, is te be used not to spread ruin and desolation, but to protect the resumption of peaceful agric*Uu*»t pursuits and productive indus,UJisV> That past methods are futile to' force a peace by.fubjugatlon Is fresh/ admitted, and that ruin without concilia.

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

I laid before the senate a treaty signed that day by the plenipotentiaries of the United States and of the Republic of Hawaii, having for its purpose the Incorporation of the Hawaiian Islands as an integral part of the United States and under Its sovereignty. The senate having removed the Injunction of secrecy, although the treaty Is still pending before that body, the subject may be properly referred to In this message, because the necessary action of the congress is required to determine by legislation many detail* of the eventual union, should the fact of annexation be accomplished, as I believe it should be. . While consistently disavowing, from a very early period any aggressive policy of absorption in regard to the Hawaiian group, a long series of declarations through three-quarter* of a century has proclaimed the vital interest of the United State* In the independent life of the islands and their intimate commercial dependence upon t i l s country.

The present insurrection broke out in February, 1895. It is not my purpose at this time to recall its remarkable increase or to characterize its tenacious resistance against the enormous forces massed against it by Spain. The revolt and the effort* to subdue it carried destruction to every quarter of the island, developing wide proportions and defying the efforts of Spain for its suppression. The civilized code of war has been disregarded, no less so by the Spaniards than by the Cubans. The existing conditions cannot but fill this government and tbe American people with the gravest apprehension. There is no desire on the part of our people to profit by the misfortune* of Spain.

Of the untried measure* there remain only: Recognition of the insurgent* as belligerents; recognition of the independence of Cuba; neutral intervention to end the war by imposing a rational compromise between the contestants, and intervention in favor of ' one or the other party. I speak not of forcible annexation, for that cannot be thought of. That by our code of morality would be criminal aggression. Recognition of the belligerency of the Cuban insurgent* has often been canvassed as a possible, if not inevitable step, both rn regard to the Previous ten years' struggle and during the present war. I am not unmindful that the two houses of congress, in the spring of 1896, expressed the opinion by concurrent resolution that a condition of public war existed* requiring or Justifying the recognition of a state of belligerency ia Cuba and during the extra session the senate voted a Joint resolution of like import, which, however, wa* not brought to; a vote in the house of representative*. In the presence of these significant expressions of the sentiment of the legislative branch K behooves the executive to soberly consider the condition* under which so important a measure must needs rest for justification. It Is to be seriously considered whether the Cuban insurrection possesses beyond dispute the attributes of statehood which alone can demand the recognition of belligerency in its favor. Possession, in short, of the essential qualification* of sovereignty by the insurgents, and the I conduct of the war by them according to the received code of war. are not leas tan-' portent factors.toward the determination of the problem of belligerency t h e * are the influences aad ooneleejueaoe* o f the straggle upon the interns! poUty of the recognising state. The wise uttecanoe* of President Grant In his memorable meeaae* ef December f. 1*75, are signally relevant to the present situation In Cuba, and It may be wholescene now to pecan" them. At that time a ruinous conflict had for as van years wasted tbe neighboring island. During all those year* an utter disregard of civilized warfare and of the just demands of humanity, which called for the expression* of condemnation from the nation* of Christendom, continued unabated. Desolation and rain pervaded that productive region, enormously affecting the commerce of all commercial nations, but that of the United State* more than any other by reason of proximity and larger trade and Intercourse. At that Juncture Gen. Grant altered these words, whioh now, as then, sum up the elemeat* of the sjroh* lew. vessel from our shores in violation of our still further pertinent considerations ap laws would seem to be a sufficient an- ] p e a r > ln t h e code of nations there is no such thing as a naked recognition of belligerency unaccompanied by the assumption of international neutrality. Such recognition, without more, will not confer upon either party to a domestic conflict a status not heretofore actually possessed; or affect the relations of either party to other states. The act of recognition usually take* the form of a solemn proclamation of neutrality which recites the de facto c6nditloh of belligerency as its motive. It announces a domestic law of neutrality in the declaring state. It assumes the international obligations of a neutral in the presence of a public state of war. It warns all citizens and others within the jurisdiction of the proclamation that they violate those rigorous obligations at their own peril and cannot expect to be shielded from the consequences. The right of visit and search on the sea* and seizure of vessels and cargoes and contraband of war and good prize under admiralty law must, under International law, be admitted as a legitimate consequence of a proclamation of belligerency. While according the equal belligerents rights defined by public law to each party.ln our ports, disfavors would be imposed upon both, which, while nominally equal, would weigh heavily ln behalf of Spain herself. Possessing a navy and controlling the ports of Cuba, her maritime right* could be asserted, not only for the limitary Investment of the island, but up to the margin of our own territorial waters, and a condition of things would exist for which the Cubans, within their own domain, oould not hope to create a parallel; while Its creation through aid or sympathy from within our domain would be even more impossible than now with the additional obligations of international neutrality we would perforce assume. The enforcement of this enlarged and enormous code of neutrality would only be Influential within our own jurisdiction by land and sea, and applicable by oar own instrumentalities. It would Impart to the United States no Jurisdiction between SpalQ and the insurgent*. • It would give the United State* ho right I of intervention to enforce^the^oonduet of IUIO ^..^.^- ^ - . -eclned. should in the ripeness of time tome about as the natural result of the strengthening ties that bind us to those islands, and be realized without amendment by the senate^gand president of the republic of Hawaii on the 10 of September last, and only awaits tht favorable action of the American senate to effect the complete absorption of the islands into the domain of the.

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

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

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

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

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

She read in a Scottish, newspaper » description of tho mysterious death of a French gentleman in a village near Edinburgh, and suspicious of tho truth she traveled to the place in Sutherland's company. The truth warn speedily made clear, for among the loose articles found on the dead man'* person were several letters in Causal* diere's handwriting, and an old photograph of herself taken in Dumfri es. \ It would be false to say that Marjorie rejoiced at her husband's death; it would be equally false to say that it caused heT much abiding pain. She was deeply shocked by his sudden end, that was all. - Nevertheless, she could not conceal from herself that his removal meant life and freedom t o herself and to he/ child. While he livid there would have been no peace for her in this world. He was buried in a peaceful place,' a quiet kirkyard not far from the Sea; and there, some little time afterward, a plain tombstone was erected over has grave, with this inscription: Sacred to the Memory of LEON CAU88IDIERB, Who Died Suddenly in This Village.

Invalids will appreciate a new device designed for their use which has a I base to rest on the bed and support a | tilting frame with braces to set it any angle, an extension bracket being attached to the side to hold a shelf which can be swung around in front of the Invalid at meal time. An Ohio woman has invented a simple invalid's ohair, which has a hinged back and foot rest supported on the body of the chair by a pair of curved metal arms with notches cut on one aide to set the back and foot rest at different angles, the notches fitting over the cross rods of the chair. Canalboats are to be towed by a new electric device, consisting of a trolley wire mounted on poles along the canal, with brackets attached to the poles just under the wire to support a toothed track over which a carriage supporting the motor runs, the rope being attached to the side of the carriage to draw the boat. Bicycles can be carried on trolley cars without interfering with the passengers by a new bracket which is intended to be attached to the dashboard of the car and project outward, with recesses in the top to receive the frames and slots in the bottom to grasp the wheels and keep the bicycles from rocking. In an aerial railway recently designed a metallic rail is insulated on poles with a cigarshaped balloon holding a carriage above it and attached to the rail by wheels running under it, the car-eontainlng a motor with a large bLaded propeller at the rear to drive the car by an electric current taken from the supporting rails.

A New York woman has obtained a patent on an attachment for skirts by which they may be lifted on eroesiag muddy places on the street, a series t& cords being attached to the skirt at the back and sides, with the apposite ends running through an opening in the back of the waistband and around to the front to draw the skirts by pulling up the cords. A continuous ice-cream freezer has an ice chamber, the cream cylinder set in the center, the cream being placed in a reservoir above with a pipe running into one end of the freezer, the opposite end being closed until the •ream freezes, when it is opened and the cream forced out, allowing more cream to flow in from the reservoir, the cylinder being revolved by hand or a motor. At one time salmon was quite a common article of food in Germany, so much so, in fact, that at Meissen, in the Elbe valley; the farm servants on taking treBh situations would stipulate that they should not have salmon for dinner more than three times a week. The empress of Germany ftnda pleasant recreation daily in the not man practice of keeping a diary, in which she records her royal experiences, but jealously guards the volume under lock and key, not even allowing the emperor a glimpse of its contents. SCRAPS OP FASHION. Gowns of white satin, trimmed wl(h clouds of chiffon, yards of passementerie and clusters of artificial flowers, are seen frequently at the English races this summer. Grass-green satin covered with black mousseiine de sole is one of the most popular things of the summer. An effective white chiffon gown is gathered down each seam, on to its white taffeta foundation, where appear trails of pearls and crystal passementerie. The newest shirts for morning wear are trimmed with white frills on a colored foundation; for instance, a very neat model of pale-green or mauve or crimson linen would have the central box-plait of white cambric and frills of the same at each Bide, with cuffs and collar of white linen. A buff-colored cloth bicycle gown has Its double seams strapped with black. The full divided skirt is marked by three black pearl buttons near the top of each seam. The waist is basqueshaped, fitting smoothly and closely, and is decorated with double seams. Three black pearl buttons fasten over a heart-shaped plastron of fine batiste, covered with tiny frills of Valenciennes lace. Some new''cycling gloves with silk backs and leather palms have been brought out, but the sHk is too warm for a hot, sunny day. The real doeskin glove is, after all, the best for cycling, as it holds its shape, cleans easily and will stand the hardest grip of the handle bar. Imitation of doeskin is worse than nothing, but good leather is to be found at a reasonable price and will wear for a long time. The traveling cloak, which has usually been a creation too hideous to be adopted very generally, has evolved into a thing of actual beauty. One recently seen was of light gray cloth, lined with pale yellow brocade. Pinked flounces of eloth edged the neck and front opening, and in the midst of Uiese ruffles ran a tall of butter-colored Chantjilly lace; "a stole-like—arrangement of brocade, In which gray, yellow and green blended, gave the finishing torch to this smart wrap., The beretta hat still holds its sway over feminine affections, and with the addition of Increasingly large ospreys. An elaborate edition of the style made of green mousseiine de soie has been figuring at an eastern watering plaee. A large blue bird, with outspread wings a-nd tail erect, is fixed in front. Behind" this an immense aigrette of paradise feathers nods engagingly over a cluster of amber roses which rests on the hair. Another notable hat Is of shot crimson taffeta under black mnnsKPiine de soie. A rolled drapery of both materials composes the brim. A bjgh cluster of crimson and pink roses turns up the leaf on one side, behind which a very high tuft of goura feathers dyed black shows bravely. The tendency to extreme height in hat trimmings is especially noticeable abroad. PEOPLE.

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

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