believed that lefthanded people had no right to txist at all If a youngster showed signs of using his left hand, his parents weresupposed to break him of the habitto force him to use his right But today most doctors will tell VMI that changing a childs natu 1 lefthanded tendenciiisually causet more harm thjw good Stammering and other nervous disorders often get their start that way with children From where I sit, if a man wants to use his left handthats his business Its not such a good idea to make anyone do things our way, just because we think its right Personally, I think a mellow

The Pinckney Fire department was called at about 3:30 and worked for nearly three hours to brmf^he flames under -control. One wing of the house, a new addition was saved at that time although the interior was completely ruined by smoke and water. At 6:30 in the evening fire broke out again, in the ruins, and again the fire department worked several hours, this time to save the L.J. Swarthout cottage next tftxrrr This home, vacant for the winter, was slightly scorched by flames in the second outbreak of the fire. The Marlow family lost all its possessions including clothing, furniture and papers and records. No one was home at the time the fire was discovered. Mr. and Mrs. Marlow and son, Steve, were in Dexter where they had gone to the laundromat. Sandy, a daughter was away visiting, and their oldest daughter, Sue, was at work in Ann Arbor. Mr. Marlow stated Monday morning that the loss was partially covered by insurance. The Marlows are staying with friends and relatives for the time being. Oliver D.D., Interim Superintendent of the Michigan Congregational Conference will be the principal speaker. The presentation of the keys will be made by Claude Swarthout, contractor, and will be accepted by E. Lee Goucher, architect. The keys in turn will be given to Charles Ward, Chairman of the Board of Trustees. The act of dedication will follow a brief message from the church pastor, Reverend J. W. Winger. The choir will present the anthem "Praise Ye The Name of the Lord." Dr. Oliver is a distinguished speaker, and is frequently heard at college commencement exercises in Michigan as well as at church and lodge assemblies. He was honored with a Doctor of Divinity in 1937 by Oliver College and was appointed to his present post in May, 1960.

Bocklund, Township Clerk George Washington, Smm Houston, Names on Immortal Roster EASY CREAM PIE Early Leaders Set Citizen-Soldier lards for Duty in Peace or War _ ^Washington, at the of 22, commanded a Vir- A .KUlte.. mfcftenfc in &t ich and Indian Wars. Even a young man, Washington believed in a principle which he later in life expressed in these words: "Every citisen who enjoys the protection of a free government owes not only a portion of his property but even of his personal services to the defense of it" Today, George Washington's Birthday is also widely observed as 7<National Guard Muster Day." On "Muster Day" the National Guard salutes the memory of the First President militiaman in the "civilian-soldier" tradition. • • * Sam Houston is remembered chiefly as the archit e c t of Texas I n d e p e n - d e n c e . L e s s known is that following War of 1812 service u n d e r General Andrew Jackson he became t h e Adjutant General of Tennessee. He was Tennessee's No. 1 soldier from 1818 until 1823 when he entered the United States Congress. * * * In the Mexican War a cry rang out above the din of battle on a fateful day at Buena Vista, "Stand Fast, Mississippians!" This was the* beginning of the legend of the famed Mississippi Rifles whose commander was — Colonel Jeff Davis. • * * Pitted against each other under the grim sky at Antietam on September 17, 1862, were the 69th New York and the 4th Alabama. It was a fitting symbol of the Nation re-united when these two regiments, redesignated the 165th Infantry (New York) and 167th Infantry (Alabama) fought shoulder-to-shoulder in France during World War I, with the famed 42nd Rainbow Division. "We are young men of promising pasts, but durned uncertafn futures," a young soldier wrote in Ohio Rainbow Review. By the time the Armistice brought WWI to a close the Rainbow Division was ampng those rated as toughest by the German High Command. Six of the eight "toughest" were National Guard divisions. The 1940-41 mobilization of the Guard immediately doubled the size of the Army. Nearly 80,000 Guardsmen were commissioned officers by the time they left active s e r v i c e . Twenty WWII Guardsmen earned the nation's highest award for valor, the Medal'of Honor. The first Guardsmen to see action in World War II were tankers and coast artillerymen who fought valiantly in the fall of the Philippines. Artillerymen from Texas were diverted to the Dutch East Indies where many volunteered for duty as B-17 gunners in the early, grim days of "too little, too late." • • • f Nine National Guard Divisions saw service in the Pacific and nine went to the ETO. The only U. S. WWII division with a name instead of a number WAS the "Americar (for Americans in New Caledonia). The hard core of this division, which saved Henderson Field on Guadalcanal, were National Guard regiments from North Dakota, Massachusetts, and Illinois. • • * In looking back at 34 campaigns, seven assault landings in WWII, Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson remarked, "The soldiers of the National Guard fought in every action in which the Army participated from Bataan to Okinawa. They made a brilliant record on every fighting front They proved once more the value of the trained citizen-soldier." From 44 federally-recognized I individuals enrolled in the Na-1 tional Guard in June, 1946, the membership swetted to 1*9*489 (including 44,728 in the Air National Guard) at the time of the outbreak' of hostilities in Korea, four years later. At A r l i n g - ton, Virginia, the Colors were symbolically returned to the States by President Harry S. Truman on Nov e m b e r 11, 19 46. As he launched t h e post - war National Guard into the era of the Cold War, he said, "I return these colors to the National Guard. I hope they will use them to train young men in the interests of peace and in the country. the welfare of "And," added the onetime captain of artillery of the Missouri National Guard, "I am sure they will do just that." Called? up in the "partial mobilization" of the Guard for Korea: Approximately one-third of the Army National Guard, about 85% of the Air Guard. California's 40th Division and Oklahoma's 45th Division were soon on the battle line in Korea. From Arkansas and Texas the 136th Fighter-Bomber W i n g was early into the fight It was not until February 1956, two and a half years after the Armistice that the last National Guard unit called in the emergency was released to State control * • * During 1960 both Army and Air N a t i o n - al Guard units took p a r t in important training e x e r c i s - es conducted by t h e a c t i v e forces. For the A i r G u a r d there was "Operation Bright Star/Pine Cone _ III," an important tactical air support test. The Tactical Air Force employed was commanded by a New Jersey Air Guardsman, Brigadier General Donald J. Strait. Another major accomplishment was the airlift of a complete Utah Army National Guard Artillery battalion from Hill Air Force Base (Ogden) to Puerto Rico, 3,500 miles. This was in "Operation Big Slam/ Puerto Pine," and marked the first airlift of an Army National Guard b a 11 a 1 i o n-size force over a great distance in an Active Army maneuver. The exercise was a 1009c success and prompted a Utah newspaperman to write, "We can no longer think of the National Guard as a Monday night sanctuary^ '' Cream pies, those culinary works of art that formerly required years of experience to make, have become favorite desserts for beginner cooks to prepare.

Tuesday, Feb. 21 Dark. HAT FIBER GAINS STRENGTH WHEN WET? You Know THE DIFFERENCE Some Savings and Loan Associations look like banks, but: Onljf a bank accepts deposits. Savings and Loan Associations accept investment in shares, Only as a bank depositor are you a creditor. Savings and Loan Association members are shareholders, Only from a bank can you receive 3% interest (the highest rate permitted by law) as a guaranteed return on your savings. Savings and Loan Associations can only offer a dividend rate which may be paid if earned. Only from a bank are you guaranteed availability of your money upon request without extended delay. Applications for repurchase of Savings and Loan Association shares may be deferred for thirty days at the end of which a "take your turn" plan may be put into effect Only a bank invests a large percentage of depositors funds in cash and negotiable securities so that depositors demands can be met without extended delay. Savings and Loan Associations loan out nearly all funds in long term mortgages and thus cannot guarantee to pay on demand. Only banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which is obligated to make depositors funds available promptly. The Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation is not obligated to pay as long as an Association applies a stipulated percentage of its receipts to repurchase of shares in numerical order. Only a bank can offer complete financial services under one roof. Savings and Loan Associations can serve but a very few of your financial needs.

MY FRONT YARD I think my front yard, in the summer, is the most beautiful sight around. Often I sit- under the protecting mulberry t r e e , just studying the view about me. I absorb the fragrance of the stately pines that tower above me as I watch the squirrels scampering and playing in the trees. I love to sit and listen to the rustling of the cornstalks in the field across from me. A very common scene is one I hold dear; it is the one I view each time the dog chases my brother up the long, winding drive. Hearing the bark and the laugh of them, mingled with the smell of the fresh green grass makes me feel warm inside. I am happy, to, when I lie under the trees. The sharp needles of the pine and the soft grass beneath give me a secure, cozy feeling. All the while I listen, and watch, and drink in the beautiful sight before me. The sweet mulberries that I am eating refresh me more than any man-made food to be found. Mother Nature certainly gave me a wonderful gift; herself. Shirley Mitchell, Grade 9 JEST FOR FUN Lincoln was asked how long a man's legs ought to be to give him the most service. He answered: "Long enough to reach the ground.'1 Thursday and Friday were busy days for the seniors. This business of having one's picture taken is a serious matter: Miss Harris had hers taken too. She said she was glad it didn't take long. Mr. Reader had to wait so long that he was afraid his hair would be all grown out again.

Mrs. Vernon FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Once again the Freshmen went down to defeat as they fought a hard battle with Dexter last Monday, February 6. Dexter outclassed Pinckney 48-39. Our Freshmen played their best game of the year, but still had to take a loss. As we said before, they were fighting all the way. Gary Hull was in a class all by himself when he showed great skill in scoring from the outside as he guided the Pirates with 20 points. This is the high score for the team this year. The Pirates will be trying to boost their record in wins next Monday when they meet the Brighton team in the P.H.S. gym. Reporters, Jim Barker, Larry Hull THURSDAY NIGHTS BASKETBALL GAME Everyone who went to the game at Ypsi (Roosevelt) felt it worth their while. The boys played their best through both games. When the Junior Varsity played, they led in the first t w o quarters on and off, and it looked as if they were going to win. but by a few lucky shots Roosevelts' J.V. won by a score of 24-21. The Varsity game was not as close as the J.V.'s, as we trailed by about seven all the way through — but then we wanned up and soon we were ahead by one, and it would have been three as Terry Rowell made a great basket just as they called time! The fact still remains that for the last 17 seconds we kept them from scoring, and we won with a close score of 63-62. GIRL'S BASKETBALL Two girls' basketball games were held at Pinckney High on Tuesday, February 7. The girls participating in the first game were: Cheryl V a n Norman, Chiquita Amburgey, Sharon Courdway, Nancy Ritter, Gail Smith, Pauline Stapleton, Karen King, Florence Morofka, Judy Haines, C a r o l LUMBER-COAL-FUEL OIL PROMPT DELIVERY HHRMP ^^^HBv e) ^^^Wv AOTCUlfY I.E.

The clinic will start promptly at 1:30 P.M. and will c o v e r modern practices and the economic benefits of pre-emergence weed control in corn. A color motion picture will show new production methods and results obtained. Emphasis will be placed upon those methods which experiment station tests and commercial growers' experience have proved most effective in reducing costs of corn production. This is because increased corn yields with greater net return per bushel will be of prime importance in 1961. ATTEND MEETING Mrs. Stackable, Mrs. Kelknberger, and Mr. Dunn attended a meeting at the Union Building Wednesday evening, February 9. The meeting was under the auspices of the Child Guidance Clinic. Dr. Ralph Rabinovitch, Director of Hawthorne Center, Northville, gave the main address. He talked about retarded children, and the care needed and provided for them. Dr. Rabinovitch made it clear that much research is needed before complete and satisfactory answers can be given to the problems of these children. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS The Homemaking 3 class at Pinckney High School has been studying nutrition for the past three weeks. During the study of nutrition the girls decided that they would like to get two white rats and perform a nutritional experiment on them. Everyone was very enthusiastic about the whole thing. Carolyn Cosgray volunteered to buy the rats for us over the weekend and bring them to school with her on M o n d a y morning. Carolyn went ahead and bought them on F r i d a y night. Much to her surprise, when she went down to look at them on Saturday morning, there were nine rats instead of the previous two. That is, mother and father and seven babies. As it turns out the experiment will have to be delayed for a couple of weeks. The class is now planning to use the babies in the experiment. The girls will feed two of the rats a balanced diet, and two of them a diet of favorite teenage foods, such as potato chips, coke, and c a n d y bars. They hope to find out what different effects the t w o diets will have on the growing bodies of the four little experimental rats.

This includes both community and state levels. And probably there h a s never been a time when people of the state were as willing to work together in such programs. Unemployment figures, business reports and recently t h e announcement that Norge will move its Muskegon Heights plant to Arkansas made it quite clear in everyone's mind that the economic climate in Michigan is in serious need of improvement— and now. The Norge incident is dramatic evidence of a situation which has been in the news for many months. For a year the rumor had been rife that the plant would be mbved. Community leaders and representatives of the state Economic Development Department worked hard; even desperately to hold electric refrigerator production here. But is became apparent that the new, one million square foot plant near Fort Smith, Ark. could easily produce both gas and electric models. On Feb. 1, it was announced that the somewhat antiquated plant in Muskegon Heights would be closed. Arkansas* Gov. Orval Faubus incidentally, lost no time in claiming that the state's g a i n was largely the result of legislation adopted recently and designed to lure industry there. They have a law which permits municipalities to issue revenue bonds to build plants for industry. Greenwood, Ark., a suburb of Fort Smith, issued a $7,5 million bond issue to build the Norge plant. Michigan leaders must now decide what programs this state will adopt to help its situation. The newly elected Governor, John B. Swainson, indicates that he will have several recommendations. One approach to receive serious consideration involves a way for the state to aid local groups financing construction of buildings for lease to industry. In the past this and similar programs have been considered too liberal by the Legislature. But other states, some of them with a reputation for being conservative, have adopted such programs. To many in this state, especially the hard working staff of the Economic Development Department, some new programs are weapons urgently needed for the fight to attract industry. Conservative Maine has sort of industrial FHA plan. So does Rhode Island. The state guarantees up to 90 per cent of a loan made by a bank in co-operation with a community industrial development group to build a plant for lease to industry. In both states the plan seems to be working well. In Maine the plan was delayed a year while it went to a vote of the people and then to the supreme court. Attorneys say that in Michigan too, a constitutional amendment would be required and a supreme court test could be expected to follow. This would take important time** • * * Pennsylvania has advertised for several years that "100 per cent financing of industrial plants*1 is available. In fact, Pennsylvania has spent s o m e - thing more than half a billion dollars for this advertising atone. Five years aap the Pennsylvania legislature appropriated $5 million for plan construction loam. From year to year additional sums have been appropriated, to a present total of $18 million. For each plant construction pro* ject that qualifies the state loan* a third of the cost, and a community industrial development corporation and a local bank divide the rest. Commitments from the state funds have reached more than $16,000,000. One job was created, Pennsylvania estimates, for every $654 loaned by the state. Payrolls created are estimated at $82 million a year. A standard assumption would show one per cent of this payroll paid by the recipients in direct and indirect taxes to the state and its local units of government, which would mean a million dollars coming back in taxes each year on $16 million of loans. Republican Governor Rockefeller recommended to N e w York legislators this winter a plan similar to the one in Pennsylvania. "I am convinced," said Gov. Rockefeller in his opening message, "that this proposal c a n provide us with a more basic approach to the problems mod with an important addition* al means of attracting private capital . . . Its efforts in surplus labor areas would be remedial —in other areas, preventive. Its financial assistance should be made available through n o n - profit local development corporations composed of leading citizens concerned with the economic growth of their communities.** LIBRARY NEWS The family of the late Lynn Hendee gave the library $25 as a memorial to him.

PINCKNEY : MICHIGAN N- Tho question of \olygumy is agitating tho kingdom of Norway and Sweden to such an extent as to threaten civil war. The nation is divided into two hostile camps, one of which, composed of liberals, is fighting in favor of the adoption of polygamy, while the conservatives, who are in tho minority, are strongly opposed to any question o* plurality of wives. Strange to say, tho women of Scandinavia have all ranged theni-;cly»s under the liberal banner, a n d o m r o f tho most euuue^t divines, a M Nissen, who is president of the national temperance union, has placed himself at the head ot the crusade. The movement, s a distinctly popular one, and has already become so deep routed and universal that the government finds itself u u a b « to stem it. King Oscar attempted to show his disapproval by withdrawing a subscription from his private purse to a student corporation at Stockholm which has ranged itself underM. Nisseu's banner. ^•0 great was the outcry, however throughout the country, that tho king was forced to continue his subscription. The leaders of the polygamist forces assert that, in proportion as civilization has advanced, the capacity for the pro creation of the Imman race has diminished, and they claim t h a t nothing but ' a plurality of wives can save humanity from eventual extinction. Meanwhile Scandinavia is flooded with literature professedly bearing on the subject, and of the most realistic nature. It is, says "The Baptist "Weekly/' only seven years this month since at Portland Maine, the Rev. Dr. E.K Clark established in the WilTston church of which he was pastor,'a 'Societyof ChristtaTi_ ^ndeKTor' amonjr the young people of^his Hock. The object was no different in any of its essential features- from other organizations of young church members for mutual help in tho development of characjtdr and usefulness as christians. Yet^lt appears to have been the foundation of an organization whose ra nirioations have in these few years spread over the continent and reached to other lands. To-day there are about ;V>(H> societies of Christian Endeavor, in :is many different congregations, and calls have come for the translation of the constitution and other literature in several fore gu languages; the society is taking root in Croat Britain and in missionary lands. Ah Syce, secretary of a society in the Baptist mission in Burmah, writes that tho society is as conspicuously successful in India as in America. Over 250 MM) members are enrolled, and tho number is rapidly increasing. ^ ,-- Since the enactment of the Passenger Act in 1819, and up to October I. 1887, the number of actual immigrants into America was 14,266,760. Of these £, 427,534 have arrived since the war was ended. Undoubtedly our foreign population has been a source of wealth and strength to the Union. According to commonly accepted authorities their cash v a n e upon landing cannot be fixed at less than «15,000,000,00 >. They have taken a great part in the country's progresivc march, and most of them are full of American spirit. Yet in spite of this fact.isn'tittime to call a halt.and k^eepout the horde of semi-barbarians constantly coming to our shores, who care nothing for law or h u m a n rights who are devoid of all honorable anibi tion, willing to work for a mere pitanco and content to live after a fashion, cheap and filthy enough to disgust a dog. The result of this dark tide among us]is partially disclosed by the last census returns, which showed that they constituted nearly one-haif tho population of the houses of correction, more than one fourth of the insane, nearly one fourth ot Uie hat>iuial i riminals, »nd more than a third of the paupers. A wink from the czar or a sneeze from Bismarck nowadays is sutlicient to set alloat columns of rumors that peace or war in Eurgpe is imminent. But Americans needn't look for any serious trouble unt.l big dailies begin sending over their war correspondents. Then look out for the fun to begin. So says an old campaigner. — "• m< The supreme court of Georgia has just rendered a decision which is of interest in other statos.

Oatmeal at Home ar^d Abroad I In making oatmeal porridge, tho njeulis stirred into boil'jtig water with aj porridge stick, W I ^ I Q the water is kept,all the time al ;A brisk boil. Care should bo taken to, prevent the meal from forming kr,0 ta, as it will do if dropped into t ^ e water in too large quantities. T.ho bust wav is to take n handful of t]ne meal and let it (hop into tho rocop'.nclo by the rubbing of the thumb ngainsl the lingers. At lirst tho water, will show ebulltou or boiling up SOOIA after the meal begins to go into it. und this wili Ue kept up until about tho time when enough of the meal has been added. Fine meal is more likely to knot than the coarse meal. It takes experience to tell when just tho amount of meal needed has been used, tho thickness of tho porridge b o n g tho lest. No measurement of water and meal will do. The o a t m e a l miiy be stirred in cold water before cooking,'' but this makes m o r e labor, and tho cooking is not so well done ns in the other way. But if Die cold wat er mixing is resorted to. tho meal should bo ground lo the tinest Hour. If any other meal is mixed with oatmeal, us is sometimes done, rice meat is regarded as the best, though barley, beau, pea and wheat meals may be used. Only a small quantity of the rice tueal should be used, but stra'ght oatmeal would be preferred by the true lover of this cereal. Acidity is developed when oatmeal is soaked in water for a few days, and this meal makes the "flummery" of the oatmeal districts of England,' Scotland and Ireleud. Milk is used instead of water in making mill porridge; less meal is required, but more water. Ale is also used in place of water. Porridge is eaten mixed with milk, and in tin* old countries, with boer. Cane syrup and butter afo also used. In making "water brose," boiling water is poure_d_ on a handful of oatmeal in a bow), until the mess is of the thickness of porridge, ami then -?omo new milk is poured in. This is to pe eaten immediately. Bro/e meal should be kiln ^1 r^ed and coarse. The art of making this dish lies in making Lho boiling water fully surround each partieli) of meal at the lirst pouring. Milk brose is made by using boiling milk; less meal is used than in water brose, and about twice as much milk as water. In pouring tho boiling: liquid upon either water or milk brose, tho meal is stirred to give it immediate cooking. Whon the liquid in which beef or mutton is boiled is used, beef or mutton broso is made, and even turnip and cabbago water is used. White pudding is made of oatmeal with which minced suet and onions have been mixed, salt and pepper being used to taste. This may ba done in a saucepan, but the in.xture is moro commonly stuffed into small' intestines, cut into lengths of a foot or so, tied at both ends, and boiled in a pot. It will keep for a year. Finally the water in which it is boded is used in making pudding brose, that nothing may bo lost. Titeso are tho ways in which oatmeal is cooked in "auld Scotland.'' — Good Housekeeping. He Had Been There. A young man applied to Senator Edmunds for some money to enable him to get back to his homo in Vermont. Being unknown to Mr. Edmunds, tho senator addessed him as follows: "How do I know that you livo in Vermont? You might como from Texas for all that I know." " I can only assure you that I speak the truth, senator. I have no way of proving i t My home is in the village of . " •Oh, it is, is it?" said the senator, grimly. "Well. I've visited in that place a number of times. I suppose you know everybody there, don't you?" Tho boy replied that the people he didn't know were not worth knowing "Well, then," said the senator, "tell me the name of the fat old man who peddles milk about town." "Ho isn't fat, and he isn't old," answered tho youngster, doggedly. "His linrao is 'Skinny' Eccles." The faintest J o r t of a smile..lit up tho Vermont sen n tor's stern features. Turning to his clerk, he said: "Give him the money. There's no doubting the boy's honesty;" and then ho added, with a chuckle, as he turned to reenter the chamber, " 'Skinny' Eccles! Well, welt!

TOO MUCH CO-OPERATION. It was Cettie who s t a r t e d it. She h a s always been a trifle ultra in her views, and this tendency seemed t o increase after our marriage—or perh a p s [ only noticed it the more. The hou.se was large, t o bo sure, a n d so much of it on the ground; one can s t a n d a great house up and down, for then you can keep cozy on one floor andJiinore the rest, but whon it.spreads out like a b a n y a n tree, with rooms to the right a n d left of you, all echoing and empty, itis uncanny. I remember well the evening Cettine proposed ft; It /was the girl'd "night o u t , " and I had b^en called suddenly away for an hour or two, after 8 o'clock. I returned to find my wife bolt upright in the stiffest chair in the room, with staring eyes, blanched cheeks and quivering lips. She pounced—yos, pounced—upon me a t once, broke into a passion of sobs, and clutched my neck in a smothering embrace., 1 gently disengaged myself and asked in as soothing a tone as I could command: " W h a t is the m a t t e r , d e a r ? " " M a t t e r [snitl-anilT], y o u ' d better ask j d e e p s o b j . I'll never tftay alone in this house again as long as I live— never, Tracy Tupper, never!" "But, my dear—" "I say, Tracy Tupper, I never will!" When Cettie takes t h a t tone there is no use arguing, so I meekly remarked: "We'll try not to let it happen again,- love, but it certainly seemejd unavoidable this-evening. Tell me, dear, w h a t frightened y o u ? " "Tracy, I can't! 'Twas just the feeling—so creepy and horrid—and those slow, creaking noises, up stairs and down, like ghostly footsteps, and I was sure I saw eyes a t t h a t glass d o o r into your den." "All nonsense, dear—mere nerves, nothing more. I wish t h a t you could have some friends here of evenings, though, when I m u s t be away. We wouldn't neither of us be willing to sell the old homestead, b u t it certainly is worlds t o large for us. It ought t o be all inhabited." "Tracy, it is?" (My little wife's voice and eyes were tracic in their solemnity.) "Every house is full; if n o t of living people, of something else, They just run riot in this house!" "Cettie, how a b s u r d ! " "And oh! Tracy, I've such a fine plan, if you'd jCHily consent! It would ue HO delightfully joliy!" And then she sprung it upon me. And it seemed so plausible, on tho face of itr t h a t it was impossible for me t o refuse. The McCarty brothers with their wives were a b o u t t o be turned out of doors, a s it were, by the sudden death of their landlady; while the Pick-sons were obliged to give up housekeeping on account of the m a d a m ' s poor^kealtj). T h a t would make four cp-tfples of u \ . all young a n d ail a t present childless; the best of lriends, a congenial, liberal-minded, sociable little crowd. Sam McOarty, the oldest, was a fat, jolly fellow ol .'So with a black-eyed wife, just rounding the half-way corner; while Bob, only LNJ,had brought home the daintiest bit ol girlish w o m a n h o o d we had st-en in m a n y a d a y . My old chum, Will Dickson, was the best Ptory-teher in,the s t a t e , with a dumplin. g of a wife— well, you know Cettie a n d me. The plan t o o k a t once; men a n d women all agreed t o co-operate. We hired as housekeeper an excellent w o m a n whom Cettie h a d known for years, and gave her oversight of t h e whole establishment. She was t o select her own s e r v a n t s (two besides the laundress), a n d to d o t h e m a r k e t - ing, each couple paying a fourth of t h e expenses, a n d each lady ordering t h e meals, week a n d week a b o u t . There were rooms enough on t h e two Hoors for each t o h a v e a suite besides the general phrlor ajnd tho " s q u a r e , " a s we had a l w a y s called it, which merits a description by itself. It was t h e well of t h e great oldfttbhione/ 1 s q u a r e stairway, iust back of t h e main hall, and was lighted only by t h e d o m e - s h a p t d skylight far a b o v e , except in* the cool weather, when the great open tire opposite t h e portiere, which s h u t it. in from the main hall, m a d e it the brightest snuggery imaginable. Here the chairs were all easy, the small tables conveniently placed, with their pilus of publications ready for a n y lounger; and here we met for gossip after meals, for the mail in t h e »jiorning a n d for the games or music a t night. Being so s h u t in by surrounding r o o m s no hint of s t o r m or change seemed t o invade its privacy, a n d a snug, safe feeling pervaded t h e whole place. F o r a time o u r household machinery r a n a s if iu oiled grooves—our t a b l e was exquisitely furnished a n d served, while all were pleased with their r o o m s a n d with each other. We acted charades, played "progressive euchre ,''" read aloud, sang, and, in fact, did everything but quarrel. The r o o m s Cettie h a d reserved for o u r usii opened into t h e " s q u a r e " from the left, those of t h e Dicksons from t h e right, and this p r o x i m i t y sei ved t o cement more closely our old friendship. Day after d a y the little women talked, sewed a n d d r e a m e d together, as women will, a n d m a n y of the tiny articles they m a d e were cut from the same material a n d fashioned after t h e same p a t t e r n s , while Will and I came and went, like b r o t h e r s . It was a bit of l-Men descended t o the nineteenth century—but alas! alas!— for the serpent! It was a d a y pf,-iTnnsual chill a n d gloom for the season—October—when the t w o heirs of the Dickson a n d Tupper families arrived, a n d t h a t , t o o , within an hour of each other, b o t h great healthy Hoy^-eHmteh t h e wnn&- sizc, weight and general u n c e r t a i n t y of outline and feature. • A bright fire burned in' the ••square," a n d Mrs. Dickson's nurse hastened there with her young charge,which,after dressing, she left swathed in blankets and calmly sleeping in an a r m c h a i r . A, little later Cettie's nurse entered, and, going through the same ceremony,deposited our treasure in a comfortable chair, which happened to be exactly like tho other. Still l a t e r , the two d o c t o r s , wirlithe new made papas, came in for a look a t the wonderful little creatures, and, the better to see them, wheeled the ("hairs close t o the fire, talked them over a bit, ami pushed t h e m back again, after the usual careless fashion of mankind, then left the room. When I, shortly after, returned alone, it was to find Mrs. Dickson's nurse standing irresolute between t h e two chairs which contained our hopes, a perplexed, almost wild, look upon her face, which grew into actual cons t e r n a t i o n as I entered. W h a t could have happened! I asked the question breathlessly, a n d she answered with a nervous laugh. "Tho^babies—somebody h a s changed the chairs, I think. Which one— this is yours, i s u ' t ' i t ? " "VVhy, yes, I—that is"—I echoed her nervous laugh—''where did you p u t y o u r baby, a n y h o w ? " " T h a t ' s what I c a n ' t seem t o remember; you see, these chairs are exactly alike, and J was in such a hurry! Besides, both have been moved from where they s t o o d . " A strange thrill crept, down my back. 1 stepped closer, and, uncovering the wee faces, gazed a t them i n t e n t l y . Would no lurking likeness, no family feature, no fatherly instinct avail me now? Not one!—to me they seemed a s much alike as two leaves on a bush, and I looked up helplessly, only t o meet,her brows c o n t r a c t e d in a perplexed frown. Then a bright t h o u g h t came t o me.. " W h y of course; y o u can tell t h e m by t h e c k t h e s , Mrs. H a r t ! " She shook her head a n d explained. Alas! those misguided little m o t h e r s , thinking it would be " s o cute,*" h a d m a d e their first clothes precisely alike, from shirt t o blankets. I dropped into a chair; cold perspira t i o n s t a r t e d from every pore. • Here was a case where even motherlove could not avail, for neither of t h e new-mot hers had yet seeiy her child. W h a t could wb do? " D o n ' t , " I gasped, " d o n ' t for the love of heaven! tell o u r wives 'twould kill them!" Then I rushed o u t t o find Will a n d i m p a r t the awful intelligence. Meanwhile Mrs. H a r t had summoned Cettie's nurse and the four ot us soon s t o o d over those helpless babies vainly endeavoring t o settle their future fate. 1'looked ni Will, and he looked a t me; he was pate, and I felt so. One of those infants was his; one was mine —hut which? We stepped aside and talked it over, while the nurses whispered by the fireside. Neither of us a r e gamesters, or betting men. Vet here was a case t h a t we must decide by chance. Revolting as it m a y seem to all who h a v e never been iu a lik- dilemma, we agreed to settle it by lot. " Will, always fertile in expedients, proposed the manner of it, unci With laces solemn enough for a funeral wo went through t h e ' s t r a u g t t c e r o t n o n y w I wrote the numbers, nine and sevenjifl upon slips of p a p e r a n d handed t h e i w ^ to.Mrs. H a r t ; then Will a n d I left, t h A g room, a n d drawing t h e portieres ^ close behind o u r backs, waited while she pinned t h e m upon t h e sleeping in-, flints. She then called us in, when Will, a s t h e older, m a d e his choice. \ "I will trtke,"heb6gan,thenBfcoppe<i, a n d I'll never forget t h e expression or* his face as, he added in a low, intensevoice, " N u m b e r nine." His wife's nurse stepped forward, and raising t h e nearest infant, laid it solemnly in his a r m s ; Cettie's n u r s e placed t h e o t h e r child in mine. " T r a c y , " said Will, " I swear I'll be good t o it, whosoever it is." "And I swear the s a m e . " I responded, with bowed head. "Now, remember," I a d d e d after a pause, "this m u s t be a dead secret between us—the m o t h e r s m u s t never k n o w , " and t h a t strange q u a r t e t there t o o k an ironclad o a t h of invincible secrecy. Life flowed on after t h a t without a ripple for' awhile. The young m o t h e r s fondled their babies, compared notes, sung their praises and a l m o s t quarreled over their respective merit* d a y by day. Will and I looked on, maintaining a reserve t h a t h u r t o u r respective spouses—something approaching a coldness had arisen between us; we dreaded being left tete-atete— for the sudden silence t h a t fell upon b o t h of us s t o o d like a wall between us a n d spoiled o u r friendship und our fatherhood. B u t more was yet t o come. I have mentioned B o b ' s bea ttSCnt girl-wife. We all t r e a t e d her in a n elder brother-und-sisterlv way; couldn't help loving and petting her, and we t o o k her about, with us a good deal, for Bob was an editor who worked all night, a n d he was thankful t o us for using his " c o m p l i m e n t a r i e s " a n d escorting his wife t o evening ent e r t a i n m e n t s . Sam did n o t care t o go o u t a n d t h i s d u t y devolved upon Will a n d myself. How t h e impression got a b r o a d t h a t she was unmarried, I d o n ' t know, but I was sliocked t o receive a note from a club a c q u a i n t a n c e , asking permission t o call upon m y beautiful sister, frankly a n d a r d e n t l y avowing t h a t she was t he on 1 y wo man-he liad-ever..seen t h a t ho desired t o wed, etc., etc. I dared n o t show tins t o jealous and ftpry Bob, b u t by adviee of my wife I burned t h e letter and sought t h e writer. He w a s a m a n of the world, of better family t h a n r e p u t a t i o n . I was terribly embarrassed, as I explained. He was angry ballled and savage. " H u m p h ! " he ejaculated,sneeringly; " a married w o m a n . And no relative. T a k e her t o a c c o m m o d a t e her husband! H o w delightfully m a g n a n i m o u s ! Does it a c c o m m o d a t e the husband t o have you hold tier fan as a screen before your laces, raise her b o u q u e t t o y o u r lips, b u t t o n her gloves with lingering touches, and draw her wrap a r o u n d her shoulders with t h a t devoted airf See here! Tupper; if you're not a fool, you must be a villain! When [ t h o u g h t y o u were her brother ' t w a s all right, but by George! if McCarty c a n ' t whip you I can!" und he s t r o d e away, leaving me absolutely d u m b with—what? It couldent have been conscience. Of course Cettie was eager no hear • all a b o u t t h e interview, and n a t u r a l - ly I prevaricated (as I grow older I recognize t h a t there are times when t h e naked t r u t h should be p u t i n t o swaddling clothes before exhibition). But, after t h a t , I t o o k pains t o be m o r e reserved in m a n n e r to Bob's J e a n n e t t e . white I did n o t seem t o care as much for the club a s former- And yet, after t h e strange m a n n e r of things in this life, they were but trifles after all, which finally caused t h e d e a t h of our co-operation. S a m ' s indignation a t beint^ dunned for my wife's millinery bill, Bob's disa p p o i n t m e n t in finding t h a t the elegant fur-trinimed overcoat he had received in good faith as a present, was in reality a purchace of Will'sfor himself, t o say nothing of such small nuisances a s m i s t a k e s in t h e weekly accounts, troubles with the s e r v a n t s , t h e trying t o settle a b o u t various ext r a s , the impossibility of accurately dividing the coal a n d gass bills, with, a l w a y s a n d especially, tlje rivalry over those two fated babies. Wc began t o avoid the " s q u a r e " of evenings, we grew less a n x i o u s to procure o u r t h e a t e r tickets together, we lingered less a t table a n d a chill cons t r a i n t m a d e itself felt in the very a t - mosphere. Cettie said she t h o u g h t Sallie Mc- Carty really had an unlady-like temper, and if Bob d i d n ' t look out his wife would make him trouble yet— while, a c t u a l l y , the way Bessie Dickson managed t h a t b a b y ' s n a p was enough t o ruin it for life! As spring approached, an air of uneasy a n t i c i p a t i o n t o o k the place of our former culm. I wa n't, surprised when B o b informed nic t h a t Jeannette was crazy t o go t o housekeeping, a n d his wife next d a y whispered t o Cettie t h a t Bob was* RO a n x i o u s t h a t she would h a v e t o t r y housekeeping. C" So it was with us ~n\\i Cettie forgot the " c r e e p y " evening, or no longer feared t h e m , with our (Ahf was it our?) b a b y for c o m p a n y , a n d no longer longed for the freedom of her own h o m e again. The Dickson* were quite reconciled t o housekeeping in a flat, a n d (he S a m McCarty's to b o a r d in a hotel. We p a r t e d friends—I hope—but while I c a n ' t speak for the rest, I am very certain 1 ••h,"'! -ever co-operate again. 1 1 m /, WMmmmmMwmmmMmwMm \'i' '•"%W,;*y/, ...» . > • ' ' .,/ ,, * M H M M H M M « p WASHINGTON LETTER.

My family physician gave me up as incurable, and said I must die. My case was such a bud one. that every day, towards sunset, my voice would become so hoarse I could barely speak above u whisper. In the morning my coughing and clearing of my throat would almost strangle me. By the use of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Kemedy, in three months, 1 was a well man, and the cure has been permanent."

Thousands of farmers have been deluded by this swindle, though its plans had been denounced and reiterated by the press in general. It now remains to be seen whether they will take up as readily with the next new dodge that comes out. SINCE the "shoving" of some $800 in bogus silver certificates was detected at the Norns cocking mam in Detroit Saturday night it has been learned that large numbers of $& and $10 certificates are in circulation. The $5 bills are very good ones, printed on thin paper, however, and a quarter of an inch shorter than the regular bills. The $10 bills are very rank. They are Of the series of 1880 with a picture ot •Robert Morris on the front. The paper is soft and spongy. The words "engraved and printed at the bureau of engraving and printing" are omitted from the right end of the bill's face. The word "receivable" is spelled "recievabie;" '"reissued" is spelled "reisued." The check letter in the upper left hand corner is omitted. VERY serious charges under affidavits are perferred by former employes of the Michigan insane Asylum at Kalamazoo against the management ot that institution. It is charged that patients have been neglected proper treatment, deprived of proper nourishment and proper clothing, from the effects of which treatment many patienss have died. They cito instances where physicians connected.with the institution have refused to leaye the table around which they were seated drinking liquors, and attend upon sick and dying patients. One attendant makes affidavit that our own unfortunate townsmen, Myron Van Buren, died from enforced starvation and gross neglect of duty on the part of physicians. Such charges are of so serious a character that they ought to be thoroughly shitted, and it found true the guilty parties severely punished.—Stockbridge Sun. Washington Letter. Jt*rom Our Correspondent. WASHINGTON, FEB. 15th, 1883. The week in Congress has been an Unusually interesting one and considerable real work has been done in committee rooms and on the floor of both the Senate and the H ouse. Among the Senate's doings was Senator Kenna's defence ot the Administration and the President's tariff message, in winch he Undertook to demolish the argument made*by Senator Sherman in his recent, Speech, and to show the urgent need of tariff reform. The Senate passed the resolution which provides for changing Inauguration day from the 4th of March to the 30th. of April, and for fixing the beginning and termination of the official terms ot Senators and Kepresentatives to the same date. A number of bilk have been discussed and passed, among them one to in speech would call tourth a'vigoroas rejoinder from the Ohio Senator, and as is usually the case whan a straight out party fight is going on the galleries were'full and the Senators were in their Beats. For an hour and a half the Senator from West Virginia figuratively pounded Sherman and the Republican party with all the strength at his command. Mr. Sherman, who was sufficiently stirred to strike back, said, among other things, that the Democratic party had been in power in the House of Representatives for ten years, and not a single affirmative proposition or measure as to the tariff question had been presented to the American people. He said if he had not changed his views on the tariff in the past thirty years he would not be worthy of a seat in the Uuited States Senate. He admitted that ho voted for immigration in 1864. He said it was an invitation for foreigners to help to make good the absence of bravo Union soldiers. He would have voted then for any kind oflaw to have defeated the Democratic party ot that day. The most important bill of a general character before the House Committee on Patents is that of Mr. Anderson of Kansas to Jreduce the lifetime of a patent to seven years. The bill has been discussed by the committee and remanded back for further consideration. As far as developed the committee is divided as to the merits of the measure. The only bills of a general character before the House Pension Committee, relate to the Mexican war. One is to amend the act so as to place teamsters in the Mexican war on the pension rolls the same as soldiers. The former, it is said, worked equally as hard as the rank and file and were exposed to .iuily as much dang_er,_and for this reason it is considered proper that they should be pensioned. Henry George and Sam Jones have both been in Washington lecturing. The latter thinks the temperen^e sentiment is growing in all sections of the country, and that before twenty years there will he both Slate and National prohibition in all the states. High license he considered the worst enemy of prohibition, because it makes the liquor traffic respectable, and the more respectable the longer it will survive. Henry George thinks President Cleveland will be re-elected if he will stickto his tariff message. It has been whispered about [the Capitol this week, though I do not vouch for the truth of the report, that the Judiciary Committee ot the House was considering the preparation of a resolution calling upon the Department of'Justice to prosecute Gould, Huntington, Senator Stanford and others who are shown by the,.report of the Pacific Railroad Commission to have made millions of dollars fraudulently oat of the land grant roads.

D.'J'hompson, one Of our most esteemed and respected citizens, was suddenly prostrated with spinal disease last Friday afternoon. He was unconscious until Monday and was in convulsions a part of the time. His suffering was dread- . ful, and his friends had little hope that • he would live through the terrible ordeal. He is much better at present writing. Consciousness has returned and the prospects ot his speedy recovery seem bright. Mr. Thompson has lately been employed in the Chicago Store, where his services were highly valued. He had a similar attack last fall while in the Auditor General's office at Lansing,, and had not fully recovered his strength when KB was again stricken down. His iron constitution and perfect habits will assist greatly in restoring him to health.

Mrs. Ling has been through all in full command of her sensation although unable to move any portion ot her body except a slight turning of her head.

Last week oneofhis brothers received a letter from him which was of such a nature as to indicate that his trouble had culminated in positive insanity.

From the Nevr York Tribune, Boston has purchased 155,000 socalled Gladstone bricks, to be used in the construction of a p a r t of the new courthouse. They are from the kilns ot W. E. Gladstone A Son, Ilawarden, Wales. Their Trade name is "The Premier Brand," first called so probably when Gladstone was premier of England. The brick is seven times larser than the ordinary American brick and weighs six or seven pounds. I t s exact dimensions are 9x4 3-8x3 1-4 inches.

They are having such severe weather in some towns itL/iorthern Michigan that the thermometer is four or five degrees colder on the north than on the south side of tbe streets that run east and west. People in tbe southern part of the towns catch cold every time they go across the town to visit their friends. —Fenton Independent - - — Among the 700 Maccabees of Jan. 1,1882 , there may have been some who dreamed of the time when the Order would namber its 100,000 members, when it would become a power among the fraternal beneficiary organizations of the land in their mission of protecting the widow and the fatherless. This is no longer a dream bat a reality. They begin the year 1893 with a membership of 99,318, fourth in numerical strengh among the great organizations composing the National Fraternal Congress, and enjoying greater prosperity than ever before. The history of this Order has been a most remarkabel one, even from the date of its birth, but the year 1892 eclipses all that have gone before, as the following statement of its business will show: The membership January 1,1S№ , was: Supreme Tent, K. 0. T. M »....„ _ 24,040 Great Camp for Michigan —..«.. -31,11 2 Ladies of the Maccabees ~ .....7,20 0 Total 62,352 The membership January 1, 1898, was: Supreme Tent K. O. T. II ..39,87 8 Great Camp for Michigan »..^«^...... « 46,940 Ladies of tbe Maccabees 12,500 Its membership must be composed largely of young men, as we find the average age of the members is about 33 years. This is undoubtedyl one great reason for its low rate of mortality and correspondingyl law cost for death benefits, and is one of its valuable features, one that strongly recommends it to all classes. Its eqaitable plan, careful and conservative methods, immediate payment of all just claims, enterprising, yet economical management and the zeal and ability displayed by its executive officers have won for it tbe Commanding place it occupies today in the estimation of all who have, become acquainted with its work. That it is destined in the near future to become the leading beneficiary order , of the country there seems little doubt.— Port Huron Times. (Additional local on eighth page.) Business Pointer!* Washington Gardner. Rev. Washington Gardner, of Albion, lectured in the Cong'l church last Tuesday evening as was announced, on the lecture coarse. Although the night was very stormy, the chnroh was well filled with an Attentive audience, who were completely carried away with the eloquence of the orator. Rev. Gardner can picture a battlefield in words so real that.it takes but little imagination to hear tbe missies of death as they fly overhead, see the destruction, or bear the groans of th» dying. Those wbo beard him will remember the picture much longer than if it had been painted on canvas. 99;818 A net gain daring the year of 36, 966 members, Since Jan. 1,1892 , there has been a net gain of 674 subordinate branches of the Order, making the total number of tents and hives at the present time 1,924. In the Supreme Tent 174 death claims have been paid daring the year, amounting to $314,765 , and 31 disability claims, amounting to $6,000 . In the Great Camp for Michigan 198 death claims were paid amounting to $295,255.00 , and 101 disability claims amounting to $5,700 ; while tbe Ladies of the Maccabees have paid out during tbe year for death claims $22, 000, making tbe total expenditures during tbe year for death and disability claims as follows: Supreme Tent $320,75 6 Great Uamp.... 300,955 Ladies of the Maccabees 22,000 Total $£43,711 One of the most gratifying results of the year is, tbat this large amount of money and great number of death and disability claims have been paid at less expense to the members than in the year previous, one assessment le.*s being called in 1892 than in 1891. The deaths have been less than five to each one thousand members. This is a very Tow rate for an organization of its age, and evidences the care taken in tbe selection of members. The cost to members under 35 years of age in the Supreme Tent during the past year, exclusive of Tent dues, was $6 for each $1,000 of life benefits carried; at 45 years it was $9 per $1, 000. In the Great Uamp it was $6 for $1, 000 at the age of 35, and $850 at the age of 45. These figures are less than one fourth what life benefits alone vrould have cost in the Old Line Life Insurance Companies, while the Maccabees furnished disability benefits arising from sickness, injury or old age, in addition to life benefits, without extra charge—the figures above quoted covering costof all these benefits for the year. It is little wonder that it has grown so rapidly, when it oilers such advantages to the people at so low a cost. The total amount of death and disability claims paid by the Order since its organization to Jan. 1,189|L* is $1, 912,587.75, every claim Wingpaid immediately on presentation of* proper proofs. The Order is now established in 29 states and provinces, and growing more rapidly than any other similar society of the country, as is shown by its business for December, when it received over 4,500 applications for membership and organized over 60 subordinate branches.

THE MISADVENTURES OF JOHN NICHOLSON. BT ROBEBT hOVHi STEVENSON. CHAPTER II—CONTINUED. Ho was a young1 man on whom, at the highest point of lovely exaltation, there had fallen a blow too sharp to be supported alone; and not many hundred yards away hia greatest friend was sitting at supper; aye, and ereu expecting him. Was it not in the nature of man that he should run there? He went in quest of sympathy —in quest of that droll article that we all suppose ourselves to want when in a strait, and have agreed to oall advice; and he went, besides, with vague but rather splendid expectations of relief. J^lan was rich, or would be so when he came of a#e. Bf a stroke of the pen he might remedy this misfortune, and avert that dreaded interview with Mr. Nicholson, from which John now shrunk in imagination as the hand draws back from tire. Close under the Calton Hill there runs a certain narrow avenue, part street, part by-road. The head of it faces the doors of the prison; its tail descends into the sunless slums of Low Calton. On one hand it is overhung by the crags of the hill; on the other by an old graveyard. Between these two the roadway runs in a trench, sparsely lighted at night, sparsely frequented by day, and bordered, when it was cleared the place tombs, by-dingy and ambiguous houses. One ot these was the house •f Colette*, and at his door our illstarred John was presently beating for admittance. In an evil hour he gratified the inquiries of the contraband hotel-keeper; in an evil hour he penetrated into a somewhat unsavory interior. Alan, to be sure, was there, seated in a room lighted by noisy gasjets, beside a dirty tuble-cloth, engaged on a coarse meal, and in the company of several tipsy members of the junior bar. But Alan was not sober; ho had lost a thousand pounds on a horne-race, had received vka news at dinner-time, and was now. in default ofany possible means of extrication, drowning the memory of his predicament. He.to help John! The thing was impossible; he couldn't kelp himself. "If you have a beast of a father," said he, "I can toll you I have a brute of o trustee." "I'm not going to hear my father nailed a beast," said John, with a beating heart, feeling that ho risked the last sound rivet of the chain th'at bound him to life. But Alan was quite good-natured, 4 All right, old fellow," said he. '•Mos' respec'ablo man* your father." Aad he introduced his friend to his companions as "old Nicholson, the what-cTye-call-um's son." John sat in dumb agony. Colette's foul walls and maculate table linen, and even down to Coletto's villainous oastora-, seemed like objects in a mlghtmare. And just then there came a knock and a scurrying; the police, so lamentably absent from the Calton Hill, appeared upon the scene, and the party, taken flagrante delicto, with their glasses at their elbow, were seized, marched up to the police office, and all duly summoned to appear as witnesses in the subsequent ease against the arch-shebeener, Coiotte. It was a sorrowful and a mightily sobered company that came forth again. The vague terror of public opinion weighed gene/ally on them all; but there were private and particular horrors on the minds of individuals. Alan stood in dread of his trustee, already sorely tried. One of the group was a son of a country minister, another of a judge; John, the unhappiest of all, had David Nicholson to father,the idea of facing •whom on such a scandalous subject was physically sickening. They stood awhile consulting under the buttresses of Saint Giles; thence they adjourned to the lodgings of one of the number in North Castle street, where, for that matter, they might 'lave had quite as good a supper^ and far better drink, than in the dangerous paradise from which they had been routed. Thore, over an almost tearful glass, they debated their position. Each explained he had the world to lose if the affair went on, and he appeared as a witness. It was remarkable what bright prospects were just then in the act of opening before each of that little company of youths, and what pious consideration for the feelings of their families bofan now to well from them. Each, moreover, was lr *\n odd state of destitution. Not O\Q could bear his share of the finer not one but evinced a wonderful twinkle of hope that each of the others (in succession) was the very man wh/> could step in to make good the deficit. One took a high hand; he could not pay his share; if it went to a trial, he should bolt; he had always felt the English bar to be his true sphere. Another branched out into touching details about his family, and was not listened to. John, in the midst of this disorderly competition of poverty and meanness, sat stunned, contemplating the mountain bulk of his misfortune. At last, upon a pledge that each should apply to his family with a common frankness, this convention of unhappy young asses broke up, went down the common stair, and in the gray of the spring morning, with the streets lying dead empty all about them, the lamps burning on into the daylight in diminished lustre, and the birds beginning to sound premonitory notes from the groves of the town gardens, went each his own way, with bowed head and echoing footfall. The rooks were awake in Randolph Crescent; but the windows looked down, discreetly blindud.on the return of the prodigal. John's pass key was a recent privilege; thin was the first time it had been u.sed; and, oh! with what a sickening sense of his unworthines* he now inserted it into the well-oiled lock and entered that citadel of the proprieties! All slept: the gas in the hall had boon left faintly burning to light his return; a dreadful stillness reigned, broken by the deep ticking of the eight-day clock. He put the gas out, and sat on a chair in the hall, waiting and counting the minutes, longing for any human countenance. But when at last he heard the alarm spring its rattle in the lower story, and the servants begin to be about, ho instantly lost heart and fled to his own room, where he threw himself upon the bed. In. Which John Enjoys the Harvest Home. Shortly after breukfu t. at which he assisted with a highly tragical countenance*, John sought his father where he sat, presumably in volitions meditation ort-the Sabbath mornings. The old gentleman looked up with that sour, inquisitive expression that 'came so near to smiling and was so different in effect. ••This is a time when I do not lik*1 to be disturbed,'1 lie said. •'I know that," returned John, "but I have—I want—I've made a dreadful mess of it," he broke out, and turned to the window. Mr. Nicholson sat silent for an appreciable time, while his unhappy son surveyed the poles in the back yree.'), and a certain yellow cat that was perched upon the wall. Despair sat upon John as he jra/ed: and he raged to think of the dreadful series of his misdeeds, and the essential'innocence that lay behind them. "Weil," said the father-, with an obvious effort, "what is it?" '•Maclean jjave me four hundred pounds to put in the bank, sir," beijfan J'Nhn; "and Tin sorry to say that I've been robbvd of it!" '•Robbed of it?" ri-ied Mr., Nicholson, with a strony rising inflection. "Robbed? He careful what you say, John!' "I can't say anything els«\ sir; 1 was just robbed of it," said John, in desperation, sullenly. "And where and whon did this extraordinary event take place?" inquired the father. "On the Calton Hill about twelve last night.:' •'The Calton Hill?" repeated Mr. Nicholson. "And what were you doing there at such a time of night?" "Nothing1, sir," says John. Mr. Nicholson drew in his breath. "And how came tho money in your hands at twelve last night?" he asked, sharply. . "I neglected that piece of business.'' said John, anticipating comment; and then in his own dialect: "1 clean forgot all about it." "Well," said his father, "it's a most extraordinary story. Have you communicated wHh the police." "I have," answered poor John, the blood leaping to his face. "They think they know the man that did it. I dare say the money will bo rV?- coverod, if'that was all," said ho. with a desperato indifference, which his father set down to levity; but which sprung* from tho consctousuesa of worsts behind. ^, ••Your mother's watch, too?" asked Mr. Nicholson. "Oh, the watch is all right," cried John. "At least, I moan I was coming to the watch—the fact is, I am aaharaed to say, I—I had pawned tho watch before. Here is tho ticket; they didn't find that; tho watch can be redeemed; they don't sell pledges." Tho lad panted out these phrases, one after another, like minute puns; but at the last word, which rang in that stately chamber liko an oath, his heart failed him utterly; and the dreaded silence settled on father and son. It was broken by Mr. Nicholson picking up the pawn ticket: "John Froggs, 85 Pleasance," he read, and thfin, turning upon John with a brief flash of passion and disgust, "Who is John Frogg's P" he cried. "Nobody," said John. "It was just a name." "An alias," his father commented. "Oh! I think scarcely quite that/1 said the culprit} *4t's » Aorm, they all do it, the man seemed to understand, we had a great deal of fun over the nan>y'1 — He paused at that, for he saw his father wince at the picture like a man physically struck; and again there was silence. ••I do not think." said Mr. Nicholson, at last, "that I* a man ungenerous father. J have never grudged you money within reason, for any avowable purpose; you have just t© come to me and speak: And now X find that you have forgotten all decency and all natural feeling, and actually pawned — pawned — your mother's watch. You must have had some temptation; 1 will do you the justice to suppose it was a strong one. What did you want with this money?" "I would rather not tell you," said John. "It will only make you angry." "1 will not be fenced with," cried his father. "There must be an end of disingenuous answers. What did you want with this money?" "To lend it to Houston, sir," says John. "I thought I had forbidden you to speak to that young man?" asked his father. ••Yes, sir," said John, "but I only met him." ••Where?" came tho deadly question. "hi a billiard room." was the damning answer. Thus, had John's single departure from the truth brought instant punishment. For no other purpose but to tsee Alan would he have entered a billiard room; but he had de-sired to palliate tho fact of his disobedience, and now it happened that he frequented these disreputable haunts upon his own account. ' Once more Mr. Nicholson digested 1 tho vile tidings in silence, and when i John stole a glanco at his father's I countenance lie was abashed to see the marks of suffering. ••Well," said the old gentleman at last, "I cannot pretend not to be simply bowed down. ! rose *vus morning what the world caas iv happy man —happy, at least, in a >on of whom I I. thought I could be reasonably j proud"— - • But it was beyond human nature to , endure this longer, and John interi rupted almost .with a scream.

"No matter how much de cars dey gite loaded de ingine w'sit does de work gits along strictly on water." "So," exclaimed the father to the young man who had run oS with hia daughter and married her and was returning to patch up a peace, "so you and that girl eloped together, did you?" "Well, yes," responded the younjj fellow in a businesslike tone; "you didn't think we had eloped apart, did you?" Her Father, interestedly—And yon really enjoy your society for the higher culture of women? Minnie, enthusiastically— Indeed I do, immensely.

A horrid turmoil of mind | and body; bursting sobs; broken, van* : ishing thoughts, now of indignation, ; now of remorse; broken elementary !. whiffs of consciousness, of the smell , of the horse-hair on tho chair bottom; of the. jangling of church bells that {.now began to make day horrible | throughout the confines of the city; ; of the hard floor that bruised his ' knees; of the taste of tears that frmrrd their way into his mouth; for a period of time, the duration of which I can not guess, while J refuse to dwell longer on its agony, these were the whole of God's world for John Nicholson. When at last, as by the touching of a spring, he returned again to clearness of consciousness and even a measure of composure, the bells had but just done ringing, and tho Sabbath silence was still marred by the patter of belated feet. Hy the clock above tho lire, as well as by these more speaking signs, the service had not '. long begun; and the unhappy sinner, if his father had really gone to church, ! might count on near two hours of: j only comparative unhappinoss. With ' his father, the superlative degree rei turned infallibly. He knew it by ; every shrinking tiber in his body; he know it by the sudden dizzy whirling of his brain, at the m«re thought of that calamity. An hour and a half, !>orhaps an hour and three-quarters, i if the doctor was long-winded, and then would begin again that active agony from which, even in tho dull ache of the present, he shrank as from tho bite of fire. He saw, in a vision, | tho family pew, the somnolent' cushions, ttie Bibles, the psalm books, j Maria with her smelling salts, hia | lather sitting spectacled and critical, and/at once ho was struck with in- •donation, not unjustly. It was inhuman to po off to church, i and leave a sinnor in suspense, un- j punished; unforgiven. And at the: very touch of criticism, the paternal i sanctity was lessened; yet tho paternal terror only grew, and the two strands of feeling pushod him in tho same direction.

We received the past week the Superintendant's report of the •* Keform School at Lansing. It is a complete report, and all of the work, except binding the books, was done in the printing office of the Reform School, by the boys who are learbing the trade there. - • • The secret of success in life is to keep busy, to be persevering, patient and untirirg in the pursuit or calling you are following. The busy ones may now and then make mistakes, but.it is better to risk these than to be idle and inactive. Keep doing, whether it be at work or seeking recreation. Mdtion.is life, and the busy ones are the happiest. Cheerful, active labor is a blessing. An old philosopher says: "The firo-fiy.only shines when on the wing; so it is with the mind; when once we rest, we darken." The oddest journal in the metropolis is the so-called newspaper published by the Mongolians of Mott street. It is written \vith a earners hair pencil upou re million paper, and is pasted npon the wall of No. 16 of that thoroughfare, and on the two telegraph poles which stand between Chatnam Square and Fell street. All day long it is read and studied by almond-eyed crowds. Even in the evening a belated lauudryman cen be seen running his eyes over its tea-chest characters. The editors are called scribes, and write at the order of their customers, charging a good figure for their skill and brush. The favorite editor is said to make as high as $-0 a day but, beyond his editorial work, he writes cards ard prayertickets for his customers. One feature of this journal in commendable. If one of their members is thrown out of employment, he puts up a notice to that effect, and every other member assists him.—Ex. Someihing- New. We have heard of all sorts of catalogues, but a Poetical catalogue is something entirely new. In reading Vick's Floral Guide for 1803, on every page one comes across happy and appropriate quotation from prominent authors. Whether it takes the mind off of the work of making out ar list of flowers and vegetables, or makes the Guide more iacsinating, will have to be decided after a trial by the publishers, James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y. Another novel feature is the family of pansy sailors who appear on the cover and through the book. It contains five colored plates, hundreds of illusciations and lists, with descriptions of everything required in the garden. This work is really given free, as the 10 cents asked for it may be (deducted from the first order sent the house. The Reform School. The perusal of the Reform School report is, very interesting, 8tttHays bare many facts to which the people are blind to-day. Many parents do not know, and more, do not seem to care, where their boys spend their evenings. A few dollars spent in good books (and they can be secured now at a very low price) will save many a mother an aching heart and many a restless hour. We take the following from the report: / "To a youth accustomed to the atmosphere of prisons and the haunts of (Jebauchery which lead to them the foolish discourses of j a drunken man is more attractive than the religious instruction of a minister: profanity sounds bette r in his ears than the precepts pf the gospel; the cup of intoxication has more charm for him than the unexciting drink of the Beform School; a lazy, idle, dissolute life is more agreeable than daily labor; and instruction in evil received in grog-shops and gambling-saloons, are listeued to with more avidity than are those of the school-master and chaplain.'1 The Superiutendant says: "Many of the boys admitted, according to the testimony of the officers, the parents, and the boys themselves,have not been under a healthful parental restraint. "Neglect, cver-indulgence, unhappy martial re'ations, drunkenness, and in many cases positive willfulness on the part of the child, have opened the door for these delinquencies, and once opened it has been beyond the power of the parent or guardian to close it. "The boy liecame master of the situation, and follows the inclination of his own mind, or falls into tho hands of-tlie erafiy ami more experienced criminal. He soon becomes an ndept in the ways of vice, or fulls into the power of tile law. In nntiiy cases the surroundings of tho home tended to produce the rirst impulses to error, and fostered mid matured those cviniiiml nets which make both parent and child amendable." . <m >m< + — • • i J.cndcr.

ILL FIRST-"' *$S WORX HOWELL MICH. Washington, TVb. 1«, 18f.):\ With tho firing of biij ^nns tnul to i,ho music of silver and gold trumpets the silver and the autisilver army marched up the hill, and then marched down again. Congress has this week been in one respect like the snide traveling show, it failed to keep the glittering advance promises it had made on the bill-boards, and in spite of the liberal use of threats, promises and persuasion, nothing' was done, and the silver law still, occupies its place on the statute books. Senator-elect Martin was in Washington this week, but as he had some important business in New York which may Keep him there ten days or longer, he concluded, after consultation with Senator Peffer and other friends, not to present his credentials as the successor of Senator Perkins, to fill out the term of the late Senator Plumb. There are two reasons why his credentials may not be presented until the closing hours of this session and possibly not until the extra session meets. First, there are a number of bills pending in which Kansas is interested, that for opening the Cherokee strip ninong them, and Senator Perkins can render more effective service than a new man, unfamiliar with Senate proceedings, and lastly there is a doubt as to whether the republican majority of the present Senate would allow him to take his seat, while there is none about the action of'the Senate after the 4th of March. Representative Bryan, of Nebraska, says of M. V. Allen, the newly-elected populist Senator from that state: "He is now upon the bench, having been elected a district judge by the populists. He is regarded as a safe and able man. He was formerly a republican, but as the democrats in the legislature joined with the populists in electing him, I take it for granted that he will act with the j democrats in the organization of; the Senate and upon the tariff.1' The opponents of the anti-option bill say that it is dead, and can never get through the House. It is just as well, however, not to be too sure about this, as these are the same people who said be- • fore the bill was passed by the Senate that a vote could not be reached on it before the -A of Mar. It is human nature to see future happenings'as you wish them."' Lack of time may prevent the House committee that is investigating tho expenditures of the Panama canal company in the U. i S., getting to the bottom of things. It is already clear that an enormous amount of money was spent in this country, some think as much as £25,000,000, and that much of it was spent for the purpose of influencing public opinion which was at one time inclined to be very unfavorable to the Canal, but the receivers of the money are yet to be uncovered. XA credence is given here to the- rumor that members of the committee are purposely killing time so that nothing would be found out. The House Appropriations committee has agreed to amendments to the pension appropriation bill providing for a transfer of the Pension office to the War Dept, and the detail of Army offices to manage it; also for the suspension of all pensions paid to men having an annual income of $600 or more, to widows who married since 1870, and except foi total disabilities, to non-resident aliens. - Chairman Holmau voted with the republic] can's agaiust these amendments. J No 'disputes of any kind occurred Wednesday when the Senato and Hou3e held a joint session a:xl counted the electoral votes. The official announcement of the result was rather too chestnutty to create anything like a sensation. Tlie Quarantine bill is now in the hands of President Harrison, and will probably be a law by the time this is printed. It passed the House without serious opposition, just as it. originally passed the Senate. The country may now rest assured that if the cholera gets into the United States this year, it will not ba for the lack of legal authority to take the necessary precautions against it. This bill furnishes another example of the fact, sometimes forgotten,'that the will of the people, when expressed, is always stronger than the will of politicians. If the democrats in Congress who are generally credited with enjoying Mr. Cleveland's confidence know what they are talking about, an early extra session of the Fifty-third Congress is now a certainty. There are, however, still some doubters. Representative Abbott, of Texas, is one of them. He says, "There is no danger of an extra session, for Mr. Cleveland has too much sagacity to call Congress together to try to accomplish the repeal of the silver law, with all the chances against such repeal." But Mr. Abbott is in the minority. Negotiations for the annexation of Hawaii are now going on, but the result is not yet in sight. .Which party represents free trade, and which protection? The question seems to b3 pertinent when all of! the republican members of the House committee on ways and means vote iti^favor of'a bill to put all works of art on the free list, and with two exceptions all of the democratic members' UTTERS!

A i*alr of Bohemian Girls Joined nether In On* Body—They Arm teen Years Old and Very Delicate. To- Flfaud GEORGE DO MAUKIF.R, the artist, thinks he has made the discovery that "women are growing broader, latter and more generally healthy.11 Be are the hats they wear to the theater, we are told, and so will their draperies do anon when crinoline returns. ^ AN Oakland girl has set a pleasant pattern by shooting at a man who refused to wear with becoming resignation the mitten she had bestowed upon him. This is much better than allowing herself to become a target, and the man, after acquittal on the plea of insanity, to marry some other girl. - A HANDSOME Nebraska woman has been [sentenced to the penitentiary for four years, she having confessed to the killing of a prominent citizen. The evidence showed that the deceased only got what he deserved, and the inference that the handsome young1 woman is suffering for not having shot quicker is fair. MAKING due allowance for the ravages of thirty years on the memory and the natural tendency of the human mind toward embellishment, the average veteran can tell a pretty loud army story; but he isn't a marker to the average young man born since the war. when he gets fairly started on his army reminiscences. IN the new role of jack-in-the-box, with the British cabinet pulling the string, the khedive will be one of the most amusing little potentates on earth. If the land of the Phariohs cannot respect its sovereign it must have the satisfaction of knowing that It need not fear him, in which respect it is more fortunate than sonic of its larger acquaintances. CANADA is likely to find commercial discrimination against the Tinted States an unprofitable policy. Doubledealing and unfairness do not pay in the long run. It was the distinct understanding of our government that In the~conference of the dominion commissioners and our state department the former pledged the Ottawa government to the removal of the canal tolls. No LONG EH shall we be able to gauge the depth of bereavement by the length of a mourner's crape if the princess of Wales is to be the arbiter. She positively declines to wear crape for her deceased son, and good sense from Dublin to Bombay will endorse her decision. Sorrow can never bo expressed by mechanical devices nor measured by the length or duration of the mourning goods. f HEN THE SIAMese T w i n s were alive and making money, b e c a u s e they were different from other people, "the medical folk all [ o v e r t h e world i couldn't rest easy nights tor thinking up plans whereby they might cut the ligament which bound Eng and Chang so that the twins might be just like anybody else and lose their job. Hut in the case of the Bohemian twins, Rosa and Josepha Blazel, nature seems to have made up her mind that there was going to be t>o such, foolishness. The smartest Burgeon that ever handled a scalpel couldn't cut Rosa and Joseuha apart without killing them or her. Down to the hips they are two separate bodies. Below the hips there are four legs, which would be the proper allowance for two ordinary girls. But there is only one woman, and that is what makes it doubtful whether it is proper to call Rosa and Josepha "her" or "them." They were born in Skreychow, Bohemia, and are now 15 years old. Their parents, simple country folk, gave them over to a French impressario, which is the European equivalent for our dime-muse am manager, named j Forbe, who first brought them out in Paris at the Theater Imperial de la Gaiete and is now taking them through j Europe on a tour. They are not very well grown for 15, but are delicate and im\\. Their hair and complexions &^>A dark and their faces resemble each other. They are not simply grown together at the hips, but the backbones are united at the coccyx. The complications of existence of this THK discovery that a gentleman perfected the incandescent lamp away back in the sixties is not sur-! prising. Such discoveries are always ; beifig made. However, tho gentle- i man's ingenuity in hiding his light BO effectually under a bushel is almost as remarkable as the invention, and hit modeBty deserves more reward tban an unappreciative world is likely to bestow. THE rusty ribs of the dead crinoline rattle ominously in the grave. It is feared that they are about to be p«t in flesh, and stalk in circumambient horror across two continents that had been :onsidered partly civilized. Sensible women have started a pledge that has many signatures binding themselves not to be made «aows of even if fashion says they •jpcmst, and perhaps the hoopskirt plague may be crushed out in its infancy. of the curiosities of tb,e recent ooM. weather at Allentown, Pa,, was the freezing fast to the wet rails of \fcree heavy coal trains.

A Chicago galaxy of acumen scared it off the perch.

It is impossible that the two brains should think alike, and Rosa might love a man to distraction whom Josepha wouldn't have about the house. Suppose Rosa marries the fellow, what will Josepha say about it? Suppose—but what is the use of telling readers to suppose when they can lay the p*per down for a minute and think out more curious situations than you could stack up on a prairie? THE TOMB OF MOTHER EVE. A Temple Near Mecca Declared by Arabs to K« the Spot The Arabs claim that Eve's tomb is at Jiddah, the seaport of Mecca. The temple, with a palm growing out of the solid stone roof (a curiosity which is of itself a-'wonder of the Orient) is supposed to mark the last resting place of the first wdman, According to Arabian tradition Eve measured over two hundred* feet in height, which 6trangely coincides with an account of our first parents written by a member of the French Academy of Sciences a few years ago, who also claimed a height of over two hundred feet for both of the tenants of the Garden of Eden. Eve's tomb, which is in a graveyard lurrounded with high, white walls, »nd which has* not been opened for a single interment for over a thousand pears, 1R the shrine of Thousands of deroted Ishmaelites, who, according to Notes and Queries, make a pilgrimage lo the spot once every seven years. It (s hemmed in on all sides by the tombs j»f departed sheiks and other worthies tvho have lived out thfir days in that region of scorching sun and burning sands. Once each year,, on June 3— which is according to Arabian legends, the anniversary of the death of Abel— the Upon of the temple, which form a Canopy over this supposed to en b of our Ipst mother, remain open all night, in ipite of the keepers' efforts" to close •hem.

Th« United State* Minuter* at Hoaolulu Establishes a Proteetontte. The steamer Australia has arrived at San Francisco and brings the good news of the action of United States Minister Stevens in entablising a protectorate over the inland, by issuing the following proclamation; UXITKD STATUS LKOATIOJV, February l, 1893. To the Hawaiian people: At the request of the provisional government oi Hawaiian Islands, I hereby, in the name of the United States of America, us- &ume protection of the Hawaiian Island for the protection of the life and property and occupation of public buildings and Hawaiian soil, so far aa pay be necessary for the purpose specified, but not interfering with the administration of public affairs by the provisional government. This uction is taken pending, and subject to negotiations at \Vashington. (Signed.) JOHN G. STKVKNS,* Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States. Approved and executed by G. 0. Wilts, captain U. S. N., commanding the United States steamer lioston. Capt. Wilts repaired to the government building aud a few moments later a ba tall ion from tho United States ship lioston under Lieut. Swinburn, marched up the street, entered the grounds and drew up in front of the building? Detachments from three volunteer companies, A., li. and (.'., were drawn up in line under command of their respective captains, Seigler, Guun and Canara. Lieut. Rush read in a loud voice the proclamation, and amid the breathless expectancy of all present the American flag saluted by the troops [ and the cannon of the lioston was . raised over the tower of Aliolani (the royal) hall. Notes From Honolulu. The British minister has recognized the new provisional government. The executive and advisory councils of the new government formed a new legislature and repealed the lottery franchise act. Queen Lilioukalani lias spent most of her time outside of Honolulu but is charged with returning at intervals to consult Kahunas in the houses of some of her royal adherents. News has been received of the death by drowning.at Hawaii of Miss Stevens, the eldest doughter of the American minister resident. The flags on all the consulates were put at half mast. Martial law still exists and although theie are no hardships reported yet the people, both native and foreign, chafe under the continued presence of armed men in the streets, bvtt the usual quietude prevails. The lioston marines and sailors are paraded through the streets several times daily, but no open averse comment is made to their presence. The following is the form of oath for all residents desiring to am'rm allegiance to the provisional government: "I do solemnly swear, in the presence of Almighty Uoii, that I will support the provisional government of the Hawaiian Islam's promulgated and proclaimed on the 17th day of January, 1S<*3. Not hereby renouncing, but exprossly reserving all allegiance to any foreign country now owing by me."

There wouLd be a point at which the upward pressure of the stream would exactly balance the gravity pressure of the bowlder, holding it, the halfton rock, there suspended. As to cutting these streams, Professor Christy says that he has often tried to drive a crowbar into one of them. The stream felt as solid as a bar of iron, and although he could feel the point of the crowbar enter the water for perhaps half an inch, the bar was thrown forward with such force that it was almost impossible to retain it in the grasp. An ax swung by the most powerful man alive could not penetrate the stream, yet it might be cut by the finger of a "child if a child were seated on a railway train moving parallel with the stream in the same direction and with the same velocity. That velocity would be considerably more than a mile a minute. Justice Bradley, of the supreme court, has also tried his intellect upon the mathematics of the problem submitted by Judge Field. He delivers this opinion: "I can well believe all you say with regard to the tremendous force of streams issuing from the pipes of the miners under a large head of water. Of course they would produce instant death if directed against a man standing near, and would probably cut his body in two." The statements here presented in summary by the American Stockman, will not astonish engineering experts.

THE l'ror. THEORY OF STORMS, the Great EUY'8 QATARBH CREAM BALM Redtteld Finds It in September Gale. In the year 1821 a severe storm prevailed along the Eastern coast, which for many years was known as the "great September gale." It held that title until September, 1869,when another and more remarkable one occurred, which rather disturbed ita claim to tho honor. It was a little time after the first storm that William (J. ltediield, the meteorologist, while making a journey in Massachusetts, was struck by a curious fact, says the Popular Science Monthly. He noticed that in Massachusetts that the trees prostrated by the wind all lay with their heads to the southeast, showing that the gale there was from the northwest, but in Connecticut the trees blown down by the same storm lay head to the northwest, showing that the gale had been a southeast one. He ascertained, moreover, that when the wind was blowing southeast in Middlotown, his home, it was northwest at a place not seventy miles from there. It was then that the idea flashed across his rnin-d that the gale was a progressive whirlwind. That was a great thought. It was a flash of perception as came to Newton when he connected the falling apple with the planets in space. It was such an insight into the meaning of a fact as James Watt had when he saw the possibilities of tho force that was rattling the lid of the kettle on his mother's fire. The development of 1hat idea was destined to put Kedtield in the ranks of the great Scientific thinkers of this day. He made this storm the basis of his investigations, following his researches into its movements, by a careful collection of facts in relation to others like it. For ton years he studied and examinod and compared facts before he published his theory of storms. At the Mercy of the "Wind*. Captain. Perkes, of the steamship Loosok, voyaging between Hongkong and Shanghai, witnessed during the recent gales in that quarter the phenomenon (which has often been described) of thousands of birds and insocts which had got in tho vortex of tho storm and were driven hither and thither,apparently stunned and senseless with the buffeting they had received. Many of the birds fell senseless on the deck and lay quite still, whilo the insects, though alive seemed to have lost the power to sting. Help somebody eise yourself.

The select ions of cows should DA the first thing and there is only one way to test a milch cow and that is by a Babcotk tester. You cannnot make a beef cow a good milker any more than a go^d milker will make a large amount of beef. Tbe stable should be warm, clean and light and feed good in order to make good butter. You cannot feed for beef and expect to set a rr*a> amount of milk. Musty hay or fin! der will not make good butter. He prefered shredded stalks to cut ones or even clover hoy.

Otis has been cabled to follow up his victory and occupy the islands of the Archipelago to as great an extent as his forces will preinit. The forces under the command of Cien. Otis, present for dut}*, number 19,510 men. About 6,000 more are on their way. but will not reach Manila for three weeks or a month. The insurgent force, according to the belief of the best authorities at Washington, number about 30,000 men. Although they exceed the Americans in number they are not comparable in personnel, discipline or quality of arms. War Notes. The insurgents ut Ilcilo boast that they have won their independence and have established a civil government. They will probably change their mind when a forward moyement on that place is ordered by Gen. Otis, and Gen. Milles disembarks with the 18th infantry and a battalion of artillery. Word from Rear-Admiral Dewey has been received which says he. has captured another schooner loaded with arms, and ammunition intended for Ag-uinaldo. It is said that the German consul at Hong Kong was concerned in the sale of the arms to the Filipinos. Our soldiers have complete control of the situation within a radius of nine miles of Manila.

Chairman Cannon of the appropriations committee of the house, in the course of the general debate on the sundry civil bill, sounded a note of warning against extravagant appropriatious and practically served notice that neither the ship subsidy bill nor the Nicaragua canal bill could be passed at this session. Although he specifically disclaimed speaking for anyone but himself, the statements he made, coming from the chairman of the appropriations committee, caused great interest. The house done some good work with the public building bills. The committee had reported 78 bills for buildings in 35 states, authorizing in the aggregate an expenditure of $14,060,- 000. Little or no opposition developed. As a result 40 bills, carrying or authorizing appropriations aggregating 811,- 304,^00, had been laid aside with favorable recommendations before adjournment. Senate committee on military affairs have agreed to report the bill introduced by Sen. Fairbanks for the reimbursement of governors of states for moneys expended in connection with the recent war with Spain. The bill is amendatory of the act of July 18 last and extends the provisions of the act so as to include expenditures made subsequent to July $ and prior to Aug. 12, 1898. The state department, after mature consideration, has declined to recognize the claim of the Austro-Ilungarian government for indemnity on account of the Hungarian strikers killed by Sheriff Martin's posse at Hazeltonl Ta., Sept. 10, 1897. The department's action is based upon a special opinion prepared by Solicitor W. L. Pcnfield. The Indian appropriation bill, which has been pending1 for several Weeks, has been completed and passed by the senate.

A dispatch from Washington says: Gen. Otis has been ordered to use his best efforts to capture Aguinaldo and hold him prisoner until further instructions. Careful estimates place the Filipino loss, for the first two engagements, at 2,000 dead, 3,500 wounded and 5,000 taken prisoners. Aguinaldo has already got discouraged and has appealed for truce, but Gen. Otis has declined to talk with him at present. The number of American casualties are still increasing. The latest report says that 59 were killed, 207 wounded and 3 missing. Reports say that Aguinaldo has already lost his influence Utougoout ,a greater portion of the Philippines.

The senate finance committee referred the bill to extend our tariff and internal revenue laws to Hawaii to a sub-committee, which is expected to report at an early date. A favorable report was ordered on what is known as the Ontage distilled spirits bill. It extends the whisky bonding period to seven years. The following bills have been passed by the house: Extending anti-contract labor laws over Hawaii; referring war claims aggregating $212,000 to court of claims; to create a national park on battleground of Vicksburg; permitting cadets from Costa Rica and Colombia to enter Annapolis naval academy. The senate has ratified the peace treaty, negotiated at Paris between the commissioners of the United States and Spain some time ago, by a close vote of 57 to 27, or one vote more than the necessary two-thirds majority to secure a senatorial concurrence in a treaty document. The ways and means committee has made a favorable report on the bill for government participation in the pan- American exposition on the Niagara frontier in 1901, and making an appropriation of $500,000 for a government building and exhibition at Buffalo. Rep. Corliss has secured the passage of his bill authorizing the use of voting machines in congressional elections, each state to have the option of allowing their use.

How many times in life a few words of jjood advice, coming" from a frieni} one can depend upon, will save us hours, perhaps months, of misery. The following which comes from Battle Creek will interest our renders. Dr. Oliver Guiteaux, Veterinary Surgeon of that city, a well-known man there, as well as in Kalamnzoo and Marshall, speaks of his exj>erience with the little conqueror and the result of a few timely aiJa OL yellow pumice were lying among shattered of basalt, which were studded wkh .srai1.-, and crystals that glittered :'s the sunshine suv-'.m'jti through a . ;tvine upon them. The sides of the ravine were clothed with rich copstv.ood and little thickets of the retama-blanca, which there grows about ton feet high, and is covered with tvfts ol odoriferous flowers. The distniu sea, the waves of which fc-eomoi' lo Lank or slr-cp in the sun- .-hino, closed the perspective of this raviue; p.tid th :re w;1 could see the Eugenie at a.'tchor, with hor saov; ^.vhite courses loose and lie: other canvas neatly handled.

There a ciear spring gurgled joyously from a li.v.suie in the rocks; and now, opening: ihe courier bag, we proceeded to make our breakfast en the viands I had brought from the ship—to wit, bologna sausage and biscuits, with brandy and water. The air was deliciously clear, and over the brow of the rocky chasm in which we sat, there fell a natural screen of all the wild Indian fig and vine creepers.and these shaded us from the increasing heat of the morning sun. All vas still there. We heard only the coo of the p e a t Tvood pigeons among the gorgeous foliage, or the sweet notes of the little "I think I see her yet, Master Rodney, for she was the first vessel I shipped on board of, and hang me If I didn't love her as if she had been my old mother's house, near Deptford docks. "Her hull way long and low, and sat like a swan in the water, only that she was not white, like a u^au, but as black as puint could make her. Aloft, the masts tapered away like fishing-rods, crossed by the square yards, while stays, shrouds, halyards and hamper were always taut, as if made of cast-iron; tTut for all this, she failed to weather that gale off the Congo river. She missed stays and got Bternway, so you see, sir, it was soon all over with her after that." "How?—I do not understand." "Don't you know what sternway is? What do they teach folks ashore? She was taken aback in the hurricane—the most dangerous thing that can happen to any vessel—a sudden shift of wind threw her on her broadside in the trough of the sea, and with her deck toward the storm, so her hatches were soon beaten in—all the sooner that she was driven on a coral reef near the Shark's Nose, where the sea was like a sheet of foam around her. "Five poor fellows were washed away and drowned; but when day broke, and the storm abated a little, the captain, six men and I got ashore in the long boat, just as the poor Arrow began to break up, for we could see the waves beating into her a i d rending asunder the decks, the inner and outer sheathing, as if they couldn't scatter the cargo fast enough far and wide. "Well, there v.e were, shipwrecked I in a wild place- on the west coast of Africa, at a part of the Congo river where the mangrove trees grow into the water, and have their lower branches covered with oysters and barnacles.

My companion was a short and thickset sailor, about forty years of age, and whose figure was suggestive of great muscular strength; his hair was cut short, but his whiskers were of the most voluminous description, as he was anxious to conceal as much as possible of the strange circles, stripes, and grotesque designs with which his sun-burned face was covered, and which, by their form and blackness, imparted a hideous aspect of features that otherwise were rather good looking and pleasing. He was an intelligent man,and well read, for the humble class to which he belonged. „ "Aye, Master Rodney," said he, on perceiving that I was still surveying him with something of wonder (and his face was a point on which he was particularly sensitive); "you see what a precious figure-head these 'tarnal niggers on the coast of Africa made for me." "How did this happen, Tom?" said I, filling his drinking horn. "About twenty years a^o, Master Rodney, I belonged to the Arrow, a smart Liverpool bark of two hundred and twenty tons register. I made many voyages in her to South America, but at last, as bad luck, or my destiny (as men say in the play) would have it, she was chartered for the west coast of Africa, to trade with the natives, but not in black cattle, for slavery was never our line of business. "We sailed from the Mersey in June, and early in August found ourselves at the mouth of the Congo river, after a prosperous voyage; but on the night we made the land, * heavy gale came on, and it veered round all the points of the compass in an hour. The sea and tbe sky was as black as they could be, a n d everything else was black too, except the breakers on ahe shore to leeward, and heaven knows they were white enough—too white and too near to be pleasant. "Our skipper handled the Arrow well, and she obeyed every touch of the helm as a horse might do its bridle; she was sharply built, but heavily sparred, and no other sqnarerlOTt* craft upon the sea oosjft fctr o t « wlad. \ for shelter into a grove of oil-palms, | and there. Master Rodney, we found tulips, lilies and hyacinths growing wild, and six times larger than you ever saw in England. "Some of cur men proposed that we should repair the longboat—she was partly stove in—and put to sea, or creep in along the coast until we were ' picked up. We were without carpenter's tools; but the captain had a case of surgical instruments, and the first use we made of the saw was to cut into halves an iron buoy v.-'uch had floated ashore froni the wre.'k. "Thus we had two kettles, in which j v-e boiled some rcabmls and their | iggs, and mnde a mts? whereupon we breakfasted. Exhausted by the late | storm, the fch'ds vrer? easily knocked down by stones as they sat with drooping wings upon the roA •; near the sea; but scarcely was our miserable meal over when we heard loud yells, and, attracted by the smok'e of our fire, down came a whole gang of ugly darkies, all Mussolongos. wild and naked, with rings or fishbones in their long ears and flat noses—all streaked with war-paint and shouting like madmen as they brandished their muskets and spears. "They fired a volley, which stretched on the earth the poor captain and all my shipmates, dead or dying. The latter they soon dispatched with their knives and spears, and left thorn to be eaten by wild animals; but on finding that I had escaped their bullets, they supposed that their fetish had protected me, and so for a time I WEB safe. "For a whole week I was forced to help these savages in *he work of taking all that remained of the wreck to pieces, though hundreds came from the interior, and they wrought hard, some men using even their filed teeth to get all the iron and copper bolts, which they prized more than the cargo, sails or spars, as they could fashion them into weapon* and the heads of spears and arrows. But with everything they could lay their dingy hands upon, myself included, they made off inland, just as a vessel, which proved to be a king's ship, came round the Shark's Nose, and thus, with help, protection and liberty at hand, I was more than ever a prisoner. "I was in very low spirits, you may be sure, fearing they only intended to fatten me up, like a stall-fed ox, or a turtle in a tub, before cooking and eating me, or making me a sacrifice to some idol carved of wood; for many I saw the whote 'tarnal tribe on their knees before the figure-head ot the Arrow, which bad been washed ashore, and was pronounced to be a fetish. "For three days v e traveled among deep and slimy-greon swamps,* thick, wild woods and immense pathless canebrakes, where in an hour I saw more tree leopards and zebras, howling jackals and antelopes, grinning monkeys and chattering paroquets, than ever were seen In all the shows at Greenwich fair, till we arrived at a kraal of a hundred huts, for all the world like pigsties, surrounded by a high palisade of bamboos, and situated in a forest of palms. "I was now the »lavo of a chief, whose rigging was rather queer, for it consisted only of a deep fringe, or kilt, of unplaited gra3s, a necklace of lion's teeth and fishbones, and a cap of leopard's skin, on which towered a plume of feather3, above ;i row of human teeth and sea shells. "Ef-ing rope-t-nded by an inch-a~:Ia- haif colt—a^v, or keelhauled onr- & day frcn: Mie X-rcyardarm—were j ikes when cojr.pared to all this African nigger made me undergo, in pestilent swamps, where the very air choked me, as if I had br?en in a ship with a foul hold, for the slime in these canebrakes was as thick as tar and black as old bilge-water. "One day i e was soothing hits excitement by beating me with a heavy bamboo, till my back and arms were covered with blood. Close by were a whole gang of the tribe squatted under a palm tree, smoking bubbles— bubbles made cut of nut shells, looking on and laughing at the torture I was undergoing; but in the midst of their sport we heard a roar ihat made our hearts tremble, and all ready to scamper off. "There was a mighty crashing and swaying of the wild canes in the adji- ci?nt brake, and th'-n a ?rreat, squarebeaded and tawuy-lvJ; .'.•<: lion, as large as :t £oo;l-sized pony. ;:n:l with a tuft Tike a '^v.'ab at the en'! of his switching tail. rr-.n\-> plunging forv.-p.rd, with eyes ! flay hi n s and red mouth open.

Under the II, preventative, are two de- ; partmeuts vis. health and heredi- ! ty, and sanitary and economic ; cookery. The health and heredity department aims to extend the ' reverent study of God*s health decalogue, with a view to best methods of daily living and by wiae and careful words to teach the power and force of heredity in races and individuals. III. EDUCATIONAL, Scientific Temperance Instruction.— This department aims to secure such legislation, local and state, as shall make the study and teaching of the laws of health, with special reference to the effect of stimulants and narcotics upon the human body, obligatory throughout the entire system of public education, and to secure active personal sympathy and cooperation in temperance work, on the part of the college students of the land. Its plans include addresses, leaflets, open letters, circulation of literature, and organization wherever practicable. PHYSI-CULTURE DEPARTMENT. This department proposes to secure laws in all the states, making it obligatory that physical exercises, according to the best scientific methods for the developement of health and Btrength, shall be regularly taught in our public school. This department is organized in the expectation of great good to the mothers of the future, through an improved understanding—©£~*b* laws mid practice of health, common- seuse methods in dress, food, exercise, etc. SUNDAY BCHOOL WORK. This department aims to teach the same habits And principles as tbe foregoiop, but frcm a Bible point of view, and by means of exercises and lessons regularly prepared by established Sunday school publications, and taught wheuever the lesson permits and especially on a quarterly Sunday dedicated to this purpose. TEMPERANCE LITERATURE. This department aims to prepare and circulate books, papers, leaf lets, ^tc. for the general education of public sentiment and also for topical study in all department* of W C T U work, that our local meetings may be made interesting and profitable and our members thoroughly educated in all branches of temperance reform. Presenting Our Cause to Influential Bodies.—This department aims to secure the presentation of our work before all the above societies indicated and an j others of suitable character, in towns, counties, districts, state* and the nation, shat tbe W 0 T U aad the principles it advocates, may be known and endorsed in influential quarters. The method is to endeavor through members of these associations, to secure the passage of a resolution approving oar work aad committing the associations themselves to do all in their power in their respective field to I advance the cause of total abstineooe and prohibition. Our should aiao be presented to the ltadiug asBociations by oar ablest speaker B, arrangements being made through the local onions.

Kittie Hoff in discurtxinif this pap9r said that the best students come from tbe farm for they have tbe constitution to stand bard work, Mike Baen then read a paper "Tbe Farmers Daughters." He said that farmers daughters were agreeable creatures to writ* to bat not to write about and N. J.

True! but as each boy may ticket himself with his own value, the conclusion is just enough. A newspaper correspondent, writing from Moscow, states that the Russian government is extending its plans for a railway through Persia, so as to take in Arabia and the Red sea country. There is already a Russian railway from Resht, on the southwestern coast of the Caspian sea, to Kasbin, near Teheran. The Russian plan to carry a railway line from Teheran to Bushir, on the Persian gulf, is extended, not abandoned, and the project when developed will give railway communication between European Russia and northeastern Africa, besides making possible the mobilization of troops near the Afghan frontier. on.

BUT DID HE SWEAR AT BATTLE OF MONMOUTH? Tradition Affirms That He U«ed an Oath —He Certnluly Ilud Sufficient Provocation for 8troug Language—Geuernl Lee the Victim. Secretary Wilson of the agricultural department had less to say on the president's recent trip south than most of the other members oi the party. He did take occasion, however, to advfse some of the colored people whom he /net to plant clover and raise sheep and cattle. "The trouble," he said, "Is that you kejep too many dogs and too -few sheep.—The coat of fecdiag dog would raise two sheep or one hog," Another economic statement was that if all the salaries received by the politicians were compared with the value of the eggs laid every year, it would be found that there was more money in hens than in politics. RAD1TI0N says that on one occasion the father of his country so fur forgot his religious training and principles as to have used an oath. Profanity does not comport with the generally accepted character of George Washington, and there are many who deny the tradition. It was at the battle of Monmouth where Washington is supposed to have lost his temper and swore at Gen. Charles Lee for disobeying orders and retreating, thus endangering the whole American army. If ever man was There are survivals of old-world superstitions still existing in this country which, though perhaps harmless, bring a curious sense of wonder to a reflecting mind. A "Pennsylvania German," whose wife had recently deserted him, ascribed her disappearance solely to witchcraft. The customary method of procedure among his people In such cases is to immerse a pair of the delinquent's stockings in a pot of water place the pot upon a hot fire and keep It boiling for twenty-four hours. This is supposed to be infallible. The belief is that it will break the spell under which the woman is laboring, and will cause her such uneasiness that she will gladly return home, but will also inflict dreadful pains upon the person who had bewitched her. The husband followed thz formula, but the result is not stated. denly evacuated Philadelphia in June, 1778, and began their retreat across New Jersey, Washington, with his whole army, pushed on as rapidly as possible to intercept them before they reached New York. Late on headed off tho British, went into camp near the enemy on the plains of Monmouth. Lee was next to Washington In command, and thero can be no doubt at this time that envy and hatred were strong factors in the breast of the subordinate. Lee's instructions were to advance early and attack the enemy as soon as they began to move, unless thero was some powerful reason for not doing so. It seems that this very slight discretionary power given him furnished the pretext for his conduct. Lee had under him such men as Lafayette, Wayne and Morgan's famous riflemen. The conduct of Lee on this occasion is a puzzlo to the student of human motives. At one moment he seemed in earnest and determfued, at the next he was weak, hesitating and uncertain. In the council of war heid at Hopewell Lee advised against the attack, and showed a very faint heart throughout the fight. When the British began to move he made a feeble attack, which was followed up by half a dozen blundera in rapid succession—Ho held La- "Egad," "By gad" and "Zounda," a genteel sort of profanity, were In common use In those days, but Washington has never been accused of using them. In the midst of the excitement and confusion attending a battle, and the rallying of routed hosts under the heavy fire of a victorious enemy, It is doubtful if spoken words can be successfully reported, and some other word may have been used by Washington which his enemies distorted Into "by." Is it not more probable that the "father of his country," instead of swearing, made use of some sort of supplication? White with anger, and boiling over with disappointment and chagrin, what would be more natural than that he should, on meeting Lee, cry out: "My God, Bir, I desire to know what is the reason, and whence arises this disorder and confusion?" The man who gave rise to the rumor of the uso of profanity may have been Lee himseli, who was anxious to malign the man who had rebuked him on the battlefield. It was an easy matter to report his "my" as "by," and thus change the whole tenor of Washington's remarks. This theory is certainly the most reasonable as well as the most charitable, and, after an investigation of almost 120 years, it ought to be adopted. After Washington, at the risk of his life, had brought order out of chaos, and formed the routed troops into an invincible line of battle, he rode back to where Leo sat on his horse In a bad flt of sulks, and, pointing to the rallied troops, asked: "Will you, sir, command in that place?" "I will," Lee eagerly V v ' STATE LEGISLATURE The junketers have retirrned from their upper peninsula trip, and it is to be hoped that their rest will enable them to get down to solid business at oace. However, little was awcompllhhed at their iirst session. A few bills were introduced and one passed under suspended rules, authorizing the people of Homo township, Moutcalm county, to decide by vote ut the next towu mooting* day ^whether ex-Township Treasurer C. K. Taylor should be relieved from liability because of the failure of tho Edmore Exchange bunk. Three local bills have been passed by the house, under suspended rules: One authorizing Hough tun to borrow not more than $SO,OLIO to build a union school; to vacate the township of Wheattield in Montmorenoy county and attach the territory to Vienna township; to vacate the townships of Blaine, Grove, Ball and Center Plains, in Crawford county, and to attach the territory to the townships of Maple Forest, South Branch, Beaver Creek uncl Gray* li»£. The reason for the last two bills is that siuce the pine timber has been cut off it costs too much to maintain so many townships. They were all given immediate effect. Rep. Eikhoff offered a resolution di- The Department of Agriculture is doing all it can to make tue best of a bad matter—the free seed distribution. In his annual report the secretary states that the division of botany has been intrusted the task of testing all the seeds sent out by the department, not only those of the regular departmental distribution, .but those imported through the recently established section of seed and plant Introduction and those procured in other ways for the experimental work of the various division?.. Never before has the department distributed seeds of higher purity and germinative capacity than during the past year. Furthermore, an elaborate series of field testa was made to ascertain whether the seeds were really of the varieties stipulated in the contract. It was found teat in. several cases the -varieties were wholly at variance with the contract, seeds of cheaper varieties caving been substituted, presumably by the subcontractors. The fact that these varieties were not true to mame could not, of course, be ascertained for several months after the seeds were distributed, but a portion of the purchase money was withheld, pending the result of the field testa, and a GEN. LEE. tried, it was Washington at Monmouth, j and if ever profanity was excusable it j was on that occasion. Lee, according to some historians, was a designing traitor, who, envious of Washington's popularity, schemed to defeat his army. It ia quite certain that he hesitated when the oath of allegiance, required by the continental congress, was administered at Valley Forge. Washington was himself administering the oath to Lee, Greene, Stirling and others, the officers placing their h a i J s on a Bible. When Washington began to repeat the prescribed-oath, Lee suddenly removed his hand from the Bible, and the commander-in-chlef asked why he did so. His answer was: "As to King George, I am willing enough to absolve myself from all allegiance to him, but I have some scruples about the prince of Wales." Even the grave Washington joined in the laugh that followed this explanation. But Lee eventully took the oath with the others, and subscribed aurate redaction was made in the price paid for the seed. The principal beaefdal result of this action is expected to Ue in its waraiac to teture eoa~ traetors that they will be paid for no Inferior seed, whether tfato Inferiority is 4 M to ttusujhin, or to their fayette In check until it was too late for him to cut off some of the British army, and weakened Wayne's forces by withdrawing from him some of his best soldiers, and finally ordered a general retreat all along the line. Along a narrow pass, with a morass on either side, the Americans fled on that hot June day, pursued by the yelling Britons. The weather was so excessively warm that many of the soldiers perished from sunstroke. Washington, who was bringing up the main army to attack the British in such a way as to cut off their retreat to New York, after the cannonading early in the morning, was astonished and perplexed to hear no more firing. Anon the shouts of the victorious Britons and the occasional musket shot fell on his GEN. WAYNE. his name to one of the blanks now on file In the archive* at Wnshinjtom. When the British «n4er Clinton GEN. LAFAYETTE. • ears, and, with a feeling of distrust, he galloped forward, accompanied by his entire staff. They met the head of the retreating army under Gen. Lee. Just at this point, according to tradition, Washington did his "cussing." History records the first word3 uttered by Washington as: "Sir, I desire to know what ig the reason, and whence arises this disorder and confusion?" Tradition says that the sentence began with "By God, sir." According to tradition, Washington, after meeting Lee, ordered Oswaklls battery to unlimber and open on the enemy; that he then galloped down toward the advancing enemy, and fired his holsters at them, wheeled his horse about, rode back asd formed the retreating hosts into a line of baUle. to meet the foe. Without doubt the father of hla country was greatly provoked at Lee, and the evidence at Lee's trial shows that "hot asd angry" words passed between them, Bvt It is still a matter of doubt whether Gen. Washington swore. Sttcn temt and colloquial REMOVED HIS HAND FP.OM THE BIBLE. "Then," said Washington, "I expect you to check the euemy immediately." "Your command shall be obeyed, and I will not be the first to leave~Hfe~ field," returned Lee. The advancing foe was held in check. Washington brought up the remainder of the aimy, and all that long Sab- \ bath day the battle raged, but the Britons and their allies were defeated and stole away during the night. After it was all over, Lee demanded an apology, but Washington, instead of apologizing, placed Lee under arrest. He was tried and dismissed from command for twelve months. He never entered the army again, but sulked throughout the war and tiled in Philadelphia Oct. 2, 1797. Knocked Washington Down. Washington was an eminently fair man. He had a quick temper, but as a rule he kept it under control. Sometimes, however, it got the best of him. This was the case once in Alexandria. One of the county officers told me the story as we stood on the second floor of the market house in Alexandria and looked down at the open court within it, which is now filled with hundreds of booths where the farmers uring their products for sale on market days. "It was on that spot," said the oflicer, "Washington was knocked down by Iiieut. Payne. Payne was a candidate for the legislature against Fairfax of Alexandria. Washington supported Fairfax, and when he met Payne here, he made a remark that Payne considered an insult, and Payne knocked him down. The story went like lightning through the town that Col. Washington was killed, and some of his troops who were stationed at Alexandria rushed in and would have made short work of Payne had Washington not prevented them. He pointed to his black eye and told them that this was a personal matter and that he knew how to handle it. Every one thought that this meant a duel. The next day Payne got a note from Washington asking him to come to the hotel. He expected a duel, but went. Washington, however, was in an amiable mood. He felt that he had been in the wrong, and said, 'Mr. Payne, I was wrong yesterday, but if you havft had sufficient satisfaction, let us be friends.' There was a decanter of wine and two classes on the table which Washington had ordered to smooth over the quarrel. The two drank together and became such strong friends after that that Payne was one of the pallbearers at Washington's fun«ral." I reeting the state board of arbitration to offer its services to settle the F. & l\ M. lookout ut Ludin^ton. It was H'lopted. Eikhoff's idea is to find out which side, if either, will refuse to submit to arbitration. In the house the judiciary committee reported favorably the bill for an additional circuit 'jiidge in Wayne county, which looks as though there is going to be an effort made to pet this through in time for tho spriug election. The senate in committee of the whole approved the bill for making an appropriation for the state library and a traveling1 library. The former oarries S:.';r»U0 for the library and 54,000 for a traveling library. The opinion that the Atkinson bill m:iy pr'v.ss is tfro'.vinjr. A few amend' mi'nts may be attached, but the pnif( ram of those favoring the bill is to stick to it until it is passed or beaten. Hop. Alclricb, of Detroit, has a. bill wliiah ho will soon spring upon tho house, whieh is designed to do away with all kinds oi Suuduy amusements in the City of the Struits. < The railroad committee asked to have printed 1.000 copies each of nearly all the important bills that are before it—about half a dozen in all. This was done. The senate has concurred in Rep. Ileiueinan'fs resolution asking the secretary of the navy to name the next the Michigan. A wife should not expect her a«sband to be U«ht-hearted if her bisomUs AM heavy. tiov. pmgree is credited with the remark that "if this legislature dosen't pass the Atkinson bill, I'll find a party next time that will."

Pingree thinks that the' proposed bounty on iron would be a good thing, but iie wouldn't make it per-" manent. Senator Looniis offered a resolution in the senate congratulating President McK'nley Senators Burrows and Mc- Millan on the ratification of the peace trraty. Kej>. Aldrich has a bill provided for a graded ineotne tax. It begins witha tax of }.: per cent on incomes of from. 61.000 to S-,000 and will increase gradually, making the tax 8 per cent on all invomes of 620,000 and over. After a long-winded scrap in the hou.se. the Atkinson bill was finally taken out of committee, and a special Uuy set when it should be considered in committee of the whole. The day cho&en was Valentine's Day. Senator Ward will introduce a bill in the senate which will compel the railroads to issue mileage books which arc transferable and can be used by diifereut persons without any red tape o:-f Tmal notification to the railroad company.

Imi E tUriinalo ntUrelas tFmreenet. He loved her. He meant to tell her so, and the moment for doing so had come. The fluffy golden head was very near, a few words had been spoken, when the door opened and Ella Stanton entered. A frown clouded the brow of Dr, Ralph Stanton, the eminent young physician who everybody declared would make Iiis fortune in his profession, and pretty Nellie Savllle escaped, glad to hide her flushed cheeks from her cousin's Jealous eyes. Mrs. Stanton threw herself languidly Into the depths of an easy chair. "So I have found you at last, my dear Ralph. I have been seeking you for the last hour." He hat«d this woman, in spite of her dark, witching beauty. His uncle had found that beauty irresistible and by a late marriage robbed his nephew of the quarter of a million which he had taught him to expect would one day be hia. "What did you want with me?** he asked curtly. "You are cross. I wanted your society— nothing more. Is there anything strange in that?" "Most flattering of you, my dear aunt, I am sure." It was Mrs. Stanton's turn to frown. "Don't call me by that hateful name. If I did marry your uncle, you might remember that I am not yet 25. By the way, Nellie Saville quits the teens next week." "Indeed!" "Yes. Charming girl, isn't she? Really, Ralph, if you should see the dismal hole of a parsonage where the girl's parents live you would feel grateful to me for my compassionate generosity In taking her from it for a Httle while. Are you going to Lady Campbell's this afternoon?" "No. I dele :t tea and tennis." "So -*-• T. TAsides, I have a headache. ' . i you prescribe for me?" After the majority of Mrs. Oakbrook's guests had departed for Campbell House Dr. Stanton was pacing the lawn with Sir John Dobby, smoking cigarettes and talking politics, and indoors his relative occupied a velvet lounge and tried to read the last new novel. He came to her at last, but it was; with t. serious face and an open telegram !n his hand. "My sister has met with an accident. Levison wants me to go at once." "Oh, Ralph! Is it serious? You will return here?", "I think not," he returned, replying to the latter question. —"You will como to Melton Willows at Christmas, Ralph?" "I really cannot promise. Good-by!" She sat there until the sound of the horse's hoofs had died away. Then she crossed the room and looked at the notes he had written. One was for his hostess—apology and explana- 1 "YOU ARE MISTAKEN/' tion, of course—but the other was for Miss Saville. A moment's hesitation; then she tore it open. "DearvMiss Saville:—Before you see this you will know the reason of my sudden departure. But I cannot wait until our next meeting for the answer to the question I should have asked you this morning if Mrs. Stanton's entrance had not prevented me from doing so. . I want you to be my wife, Nellie; my loved and honored wife. Will ypu? Write yes or no soon to your loving but impatieat "RALPH." A small fire burned in the grate. She put the letter into her pocket and burned the envelope. • • • "Dear Ralph," murmured the lady. "I promised you to write to him for me, Nellie. He promised to let me know how his slater was. but I suppose he has not had time. He does not know your handwriting, I think." Very soon Ella Stanton had dictated a gushing, affectionate letter, and with Mapofriwy cheeks Nellie had written It "Don't close it now, Nellie. Throw it aside, There is only one other that need be written now." "What is I t r Nellie asked, a trifle wearily. "Why, you know, dear, Mr. Qrataaa wants me to open the Brixton but I really don't feel equal task. I must write to decliaa. 1 he always laughs at nerves, fjaf } so hate being laughed at." "My felly considered the subject and must decline the honor. I am grieved beyond expression to disappoint you; but, feeling as I da, I cannot act otherwise. However, I feel confident that you will meet with one worthier than I that what I cannot grant she will joyfully concede. Only one thing I ask—that this shall in no way interfere with the friendly relations which have always existed between us," "I think it is making too much of a little thing, Ella. You will sign It. of course." "No, dear. Do it for me—only initials. How singular t£at t n e y should be alike, is it not—El\a Stanton and Elinor Saville? There, now dear, just run upstairs and see if Louise has mended that lace I tore last night." A moment more, and Ralph frtanton's simple, honest letter lay. open before her. Jealousy h,ad quickened her memory. She knew it by heart. Refolding it, she Inclosed it with that other in an envelope addressed in Nellie's pretty, graceful caligraph to "Ralph Stanton, Esq.," and sealed it carefully. It was necessary to destroy the missive originally intended for Ralph, and to indite another one to Mr. Graham if discovery was to be avoided. Two years later Dr. Stanton was journeying northward. The London season was over and the famous physician had been on the point of starting for his holiday—when he was summoned by telegram to Sir Christopher Knott, a wealthy patient brimming over with gout and crotchets. Thinking? It was dreaming—dreaming of a slim, petite figure and fluffy golden hair and gloriously blue eyes! Yes, though she had refused him he loved her still. Her home was at Grimstone. Would he see her? What folly! Doubtless she was married, and, if not, had she not told him in the cruel little letter, which was even now in the breast pocket of his coat, that It could never ba? "Grimstone! Grimstone!" shouted a porter, and so his reflections came to an end, but only to awaken into lively interest. From a second-class carriage a girl alighted—a girl in a neat little hat and gray dust cloak. Underneath that hat was a piquant little face and a clustering fringe of fluffy golden curls. Nellie was alone In the drawingroom. Suitors had wooed In vain. She was the orthodox clergyman's daughter, with her duties to perform as they rose fresh each day, and in the past a nameless disappointment. Her thoughts had turned on that vi«it to Oakbrook two years ago when -the waiting maid brought in a card.— "Dr. Stanton." "This is, indeed, a pleasant surprise," she said with a rosy flush that told its own story. "I am sorry mamma is not at home." "I am staying in the neighborhood professionally and could not leave without calling on you. It Is the privilege of friendship, and you desired that we continue friends." Nellie looked puzzled. "I do not understand you. What do you mean?" "I beg your pardon for the allusion, Miss Savile, but you cannot have forgotten? The *ords were in your letter— a letter I have kept because you wrote it, in spite of its contents." "Indeed, you are under a mistake. I never wrote to you, in my life." "Then you never wrote this or received this?" And he placed in her hands the two unfortunate letters. • • • When the primroses looked like star* in the grass and the air was filled with the odor of violets, a wedding took place at Grimstone church. And three months later a society journal announced that Mrs. Stanton, widow of tke late George Stanton, Esq., of Melton Willows, Berks, had bestowed heart and hand upon Count Horenxa, an Impecunious Italian nobleman.— Wavtrly. A CANADA FARM, Mrhut a Former itaatdent of IdaheSays Regarding Weatcrn Mr. T. A. Tolman, of Lacombe, Alberta. N. W. T., a former resident of Cascia County, Idaho, who moved to Western Canada in July, 1894, writes as follows: "I brought here thirty-four head of cattle, fifteen horses, two wagons, two seta of harness and one hundred and fifty dollars in cash. I homesteaded the southeast quarter of Section 28, Township 40, Range 26, west of the 4th Meridian, also purchased a quartersection of Canadian Pacific Hallway land. I have been farming- more or leas all my life, and I am convinced that you can raise crops 40 per cent cheaper here than where I came from. My capital at present, counting everything, is about five thousand dollars. The yield of my grain all round in 1897 was 60 bushels per acre. This year (1898) yield of wheat per acre, 37ft bushels, oats, 50 bushels, barley, 85, and potatoes, 400 per acre. I consider that this is a much better country for a man than where I came from, provided he Is industrious. Tou get a free homestead here, and Canadian Pacific Railway lands are cheap and the terms easy. I have now made my seventh payment on the land purchased by me, and am much pleased with my purchase, as the land has already much more than paid for Itself. School law here is decidedly ahead of where I came from, and there are schools wherever there art settlers." ^ With most women belief is better than proof.

Washington's cabinet had In it Thomas Jefferson, Edmund Randolph and Timothy Pickering as secretaries of state. Pickering was from Massachusetts, and he became secretary of state In Decernoer ot tbe yeai 1795.

Thomas Jefferson acid Alexander Hamilton were not the best of Mend8^nd the breach widened as it became more~and Tm^re~appaTent that Hamilton had more influence than Jefferson over Washington and was able to1 bring more things to pass. Washington was as unwilling to receive his second nomination as be had been to Yecetve the first, and he was j&nxlous ip_retire from public life, but again his friends made him feeiHthat it was his duty to accept.the office. The second campaign, like the first, was without conventions, without nominations, and such a thing as a "platform" on which the party might "stand" was as yet unheard of. But party spirit had made itself felt, and there were Federalists and Anti-Federalists, to whom the name of Republicans began to be given. But both parties were eager that Washington should remain in office, although there was an effort made to oust John Adams from the vice presidency and to give that office to George Clinton, but Adams was, as is well known, elected for a second term Pnrty ry\rtt ™m h'pfr Inrf^ed it be came so violent before the close of Washington's second administration that he might well have wished himself back on his peaceful Mt.

Nearly every yard has come kind of fruit tree growing in it Oranges are as common as cherry trees in a farmiug community in the east Besides these, there are acres of orchards in the surrounding ranching section. They usually blossom from January to April and it is no uncommon thing to see the blossoms, the green fruit and the matured fruit on the same tree. They are ready to market along in January. The navels are perhaps the most popular here. The tree seldom attains * height of more thau 15ft. when properly attended. The lemmon tree presents a similar appearance, only the foliage is of a lighter shade of green.

I ^gave myself up to thought. Sir Raoul Dwight was the cousin of the woman I loved. If I put a-dot to his life by a slaccado, what then? Would Mistress Rosemary Allyn think with amiability of the man who had given a coup de grace to "Cousin Raoul?"

"nave l not promised to speea your wooing? Is not Nell Gwyn's word worth something?" "Indeed, yes—and I thank you," I hastened to say.

Another way to bring t h e color out may be used, and it may be accomplished in the ordinary sweeping if salt or dried tea leaves oar a mixture of both be thickly sprinkled on the carpet an hour before the sweeping is begun. Use a good, stiff brush when sweeping and the whole appearance of the carpet will be marvelously improved. Money back if it fails. Wear a Cord fer Rheumatism.

Meyer was with the H^ei^, and one day, during one of Duller's attacks along the Tugela, he tool; a po.^i tlon on the firing line. The (ire from the British batteries across the river was very heavy during the preliminary part of the assault, and shells literally drained isrrttrelow lying kapjesoccTF5 pied by Botha's army. Meyer thought he saw a good opportunity to secure a line picture, and he jumped out of his "achanze" to snap it. Just then a big liddite shell exploded Within a few feet of him, killing him instantly. I afterward secured the camera, which was comparatively uninjured. When the film it contained was developed I discovered that Meyer had made a beautiful photograph of the huge shell which snuffed out ms Kfe. I sent a copy of the picture to his residence in Germany,—Every- ~ body's Magazine.— — tlvely contributed to the success of grange work as to dispel doubt as to Its value. There must be some injentive to action beyond the bare sense of duty in order to succeed in any undertaking or enterprise. The incentive may not be the real value or usefulness of the prize when obtained so I much as the spirit of competition : aroused in working to secure it This principle is recognized in many ways | and made effective in securing en* | thusiastic effort In many directions. . The prizes in the grange have been ! used for increasing the membership, increasing the attendance at meetings, perfecting the ritual work and improving the literary exercises. A prize being offered in each deputy district rehdefti the^^mpelltlbii Jlef&~on~i&~ count of contact and knowledge of progress being made by competitors ] and enables the award to be made by a deputy familiar with all the conditions. The decoration of grange halls i with .trophies won in these friendly contests—for competition is between granges rather than between Individual members—affords an Interesting exhibit to visitors and an inspiration for more zealous work on the part of members in future years. No enthusiastic sportsman decorates the walls of his rude camp In the forest or his elegant home in the city with trophies ! of the hunt or the chase with greater satisfaction than do the members of a victorious grange decorate the walls of their grange home with evidences of victory in the mental race stimulat- -ed-by-a weU~arrangedand appropriate! system of prizes.

Goodwin of TJtica, who left behind him the reputation of never having been too tired nor too ill to give or take a joke. During his last Illness*a relative, knowing the senator's extreme fondness for brandied peaches, sent to his sickroom a small jar of that most delicious preserve. A few days later the relative called and was admitted to the sickroom. Quickly turning on his pillow and without giving his caller time to extend the usual formalities, the sick man exclaimed, "My dear Louise, how can I ever thank you for those delicious brandied peaches?" "I thought you would appreciate .them, Alexander/' returned the caller modestly. "Ah, yes; ah, yes!" he assented, with a smile which broadened and finally broke into a chuckle that seemed almost noisy in the hush of the sick room, atf he added, "And how much more 1 appreciated the spirit in which they were seijt!"

T u b e r c u l o s i s fu view of the present wide apread interest in the anti tuberculosis movement it seems to us that a few general considerations ct this disease might interest our readers. I n the first place it is well to understand that tuberculosis is a house disease, and is rarely if ever found among savage tribes that do not inhabit houses, while these same tribes are exceedingly proue to the disease when housed in what is to often the modern way. Tuberculosis is also now recognized as being the most curable of the chronic diseases, not by taking medicine, but by proper living with special attention to getting plenty of fresh air, food and proper amounts of rest. I t is also a fact that this disease may be communicated from pne person to another if the diseased person is sufficiently careless and the recipient of the infection is in a proper ph y steal state t o become susceptible to the disease. To be more explicit, if a consumptive i s careless in the disposal of his spittle, expectorating in public places or where it may come in contact with other persons, any one whose impaired health or manner of living has caused him to have a weakened resistance to disease may contract it by inhaling or ingesting the germs f romthis e»rjutum. Not all consumptives have these germs in their sputum as in the early stages of the disease the germs are not given off from the* lungs. The breath of the sick person is s o t infectious, and unless they in some manner -OBITUARY- - ^ * * * * # * ; ^ ^ - . ^ * * w « * i t # * * 4 r i w iSPECIALFOR Howard & Solon's O y s t e r s all the time at MONKS' B R O S that it may come in contact with a susceptible person it is not dangerous. a Light, especially sunlight, is fatal to these germs, and the direct rays of the sun destroy them in a very short time, hence all rooms should be treated with a sunpath whenever possible, as the light not only destroys these* but other dangerous germs Tlie germs are also"~de&troy-ed--by-h+£l MAKY FLOKKNCK FITCH Mary Florence Fitch WHS horn in Hamburg towusjiip November 10, 1897 and died Monday February 13, 1U11 at the age of 13 years, 3 months and 3 days. Florence, daughter of John and Mary Fitch, was one of a family of seven children, five of whom are now living.

While a rnrefnI consumptive is noL all a dangerous person to live with, one who is careless about the disposal of his sputum is certainly a menace to the safety of his fellows. T h e absolute safety of careful persons lis proven by-the records of sana- Ltorialor the treatment of tuberculosis, as among the thousands of persons employed in these places there is no record of one of them ever contracting the disease notwithstanding the fact that they are constantly associated with the patients in the most intimate manner, caring for and-auxsing them, washing their cloth4ng and dishes, and performing^jiwKW/ services that necessitate a close Intermingling with the patients. On the other hand we often see the disease communicated from oue to another when the sick person through ignorance or carelessness is allowed to deposit his sputum where it may be carried by flies, or is allowed to dry and be carried as dust to susceptible persons. If you have symptons of tuberculosis, such as afternoon fever, gradual loss of weight, pain in the chest of coagh, find out at once what the trouble is as then the more quickly and surely may you be cured. Do not be afraid to learn the truth, for YOUR safety lies in knowing what the trouble is. Do not be alarmed lest others will be afraid of you, as only those who are ignorant of the facts are afraid of a careful consumptive. I t goes without saying that the disease might be communicated by kissing, which adds another danger to this popular pastime. To recapitulate:— 1. Tuberculosis is preventible. 2. Tuberculosis iscurable. 3. I t is communicable. 4. You will not contract it if you live R I G H T and have plenty of fresh air night and day. 5.

Every reader is proba b l y f*m<ltar\vrth it( for It still exists, 1 hough, not so universally as it did years ago, when no home in t b i land, In village, hamlet, or on farm, was considered complete or well-equipped without this dismal apartmentf-carefully shuttered in against air and sunlight; a jar of waxwork on the center table; a collection of curious odds and ends ow the what-not in the corner; mottos affd chromos on the wall; a vivid ingrain or Brussels carpet on the floor' The sound of festivity seldfAn penetrated the gloom of this parlor, says the Philadelphia Press. At rare intervals distinguished visitors were received in it—witnesses of wedding or funeral. It was never u pleasant room; it smelled damn and dusty; the children stood in awe of it; and yet it was their mother's pride. Happily -.he day of tbe p:jntup, unsavory parlor is fast passing away. The children, going out into the bigger world with observant eyes, have returned to the homestead and insisted upon flinging open the doors and windows and admitting a burst of sunlight and a rush of pure air. They have m a d e a Uvjag- room of a tomb. In their childhood the kitchen was the most comfortable place in the house; it was scrubbed* every day, ventilated always, made light arid airy and clean and hospitable while J h e ghastly forbidden precincts, of the parlor were exposed to sanitary search not oftener !han twice a year—during the inevitable spring and fall hcusecleaning. It is only recently that they have discovered a way of canning decayed fggs.and there are bakers in the large cities who are so devoid of honesty that they 'vould as soon use rotten egv;s as fresh ones. Thus a market is created, and but for the fact that the state under its pure food laws can -*tep__in and condemn this product as unfit for~~cohsumptlfln, the problem cfeated by cold storage would have been rendered more complex as the year go by, says the Rochester Herald. It Is not beyond the bonds of possibility that meat which has been cold-stored to the point of decay is treated in the same manner7 No- one e v e r W a r s of it being thrown away. And now the I^ondon police have discovered that the prisoner convicted by finger prints, and who, it was reported, had established his innocence by indisputable evidence that, being in (he army at the time, he could not have been guilty, was, after all ,a fakir. He stole the army records of another man to bolster up hisdefense and came very nearly getting.away with it. The police are dcuibiy pleased at the discovery, since It prevents a guilty man from"escaping and re-establiFhes^ the"finger-print theory as infallible at least BO far as experience has gone. But for a time tme fakir had both the I>ondon police jrnd the fingerprint theory "groggy." • ' *• , 'SEE T H A T PROPERTY IN YOUR COUNTIES 18 MORE EQUITA B L Y ASSESSED." 1« V A L U A T I O N OF S T A T E IS TOO L O W ; CITES DIFFERENCE BET W E E N STATE AND FEDERAL V A L U A T I O N .

State Valuation Too Low. Mr. Fuller, in an interview later, referred to the bill introduced by Senator LeldTein, making appropriation for $1,750,0()0 for~state highway purposes. In addition to this amount the state highway department has asked for $500,00(). Mr. Fuller told the supervisors there is a general feeling that the valuation of the state is fflr too low, beingplaced at $1,734^100,000, while the federal government places it at $::,50(1,000,000.

But the fact is true. Auditor Fuller told the supervisors of tlw£ attitude of the railroads at the present time and the creating of their own tax commission to determine whether the valuation "of railroad companies in the state is higher than other general properties.

Again Canada is to tbe fore, and has secured at the National Corn Exposition just closed at Columbus, Ohio, th* magnificent Colorado silver trophy valued at $1,500, for the best peck,of oats. These oats were grown by Messrs. Hill & Sonjof Lloydminster, Saskatchev-an„ and. as may readily be understood, were of splendid quality to have been so successful In a contort open to the world, and in which competition was keen. At the same Exposition there were exhibits of wheat and barley, and in all these competition*, the grala shown by Canada secured a wonderful amount of attention, and also a nui ber of awards. During recent exhibl-' tions at which grain from Western Canada was given permission for entry, it always took first place. At the Spokane Interstate Fair, last fall, where the entries were very large, and the competition keen, the Province of Alberta carried off the silver cup, given by Governor Hay, for the best state or province display, and a score of prizes was awarded Canadian exhibitors for different exhibits of wheaL oats and barley threshed and in the sheaf. Vegetables also received high awards. A pleasing feature of these exhibits was they were mostly made by farmers who had at one time been American Citizens and were now farming in Canada. The Department of the Interior is just in receipt 'of "a" magnificent diploma given by the Tri-State Board of Examiners at the Fair held in Cincinnati last fall for agricultural display by Canada. ' The Surveyor-General of Canada has just completed a map showing that a large area of land was surveyed last year in the northern portion of Saskatchewan and.Alberlg in order to be ready for the^fisj|:oi homesteaders to that district during'the coming spring and summer. It is understood surveys covering several hundreds of thousands of acres will be made 3n addition to these during the coming summer. A return just Issued by the Dominion Lands Branch shows that 48,257 homestead entries were made last year as.compared with 37,061 in 1909; this 48.257. 14.704 were made by Americans. North Dakota coming first on the list with 4,810, Minnesota gives 2,528, South Dakota_L133, Wiscon n 74«, Washington 730, Michigan 7<>G, Iowa 045, while other states show less, but with the exception of Delaware, District of Columbia and the Indian Territory, every state and , territory contributed. The prospects for an abundant crop In all parts of Western Canada for 1911 are said to be excellent. In the districts that required-it^-ther-e-Avas an— ample rainfall last autumn, and the snowfall during the present winter is greater than in many previous years. Both are essential factors to the farmers, who look upon the moisture that these will produce as being highly beneficial. t A large immigration from the United States is expected, and the demand for > literature "and information from the various Government Agencies located at different points in the States is the greatest it has ever been. Since the above was written word has been received that in addition to honors won at Columbus, Ohio, Cana* da won first and second on wheat a-nd first and second on oats, as well as diplomas. Norman Cherry of Davis, Saskatchewan, who was in the reserve for first on wheat, secured the award, with G. H. Hutton of Lacombe, Alberta, second. J. C. Hill & Sons got first on oats besides the silver trophy. G. H. Hutton took second in oats. Many men enjoy a* dry smoke. Why not a dry drink? Snow Slide Death to Many.

I know in advance what the big men are going to do. .When they start to mine a certain stock u-p, I'm on the job. Understand? If you had $2,000, I could raise as much, and we'd pool our capital, starting in the business ourselves—on a small scale, of course. If we hit it right we might make a nice income." -Howard's moutff watered. Certainly that was the kind of life he likedbest. The* feverish excitement of gambling, the close association with rich men, the promise of a luxurious Style of living—all this appealed to -him Btrongly.- But what was the use? Where could ifo get $2,000? He couldn't go to his father He shook his Jiead. "I'm afraid not, old sport," he said as they lef^ the saloon and lie held out his hand to say good-by. "Hut-I'll bear it in mind, and if things improve, I'lllook you up. So long!" . Climbing wearily up the dirty stairs of the elevated railroad, he bought a ticket with one of the few nickels remaining in his pocket, and taking a Bea*t in a north-bound train started on his trip back to Harlem. The day was overcast, rain threatened. A pall of mingled smoke and mist hung over the entire city. From the car window as the train wound Its serpentine course in and out the maze of grimy offices, shops and tenements, everything appeared drab, dirty and squalid. New York w a s seen at its ugliest.' Ensconced In a •Cross-seat, his chin leaning heavily 00 his hand, Howard gazed dejectedly out of the window. The depressing outlook wa& in keeping with his own state of mind. How would the adventure end? Reconciliation with his father was out of the question. Letters sent home remained without response. He wasn't surprised. He knew his pater too well t o expect that he would relent so soon. Besides, if the old man w a s so infernally proud, he'd show him he had. some pride, too. He'd drown himself before he'dvgo down on his knees, whining to be forgiven. 'His lather was dead wrong, anyway. His marriage 'might have been foolish; 'Annie might be beneath him socially. She was not educated and her father wasn't any better than he ought to be. She did not talk correctly, her manners left much to be desired, at times he w a s secretly ashamed of her. But her bringing up was her misfortune, not her fault. The girl herself w a s straight as a die. She had a heart of gold. She was far more intelligent, far more likely to make him a happy home than some stuckup, idle society girl ' w h o had no thought for anything save money, dress and show. Perhaps if he had been l e s s honofaTfle~and not married her, his father 'would have thought more highly of bina. . If he'd ruined the girl, .no doubt he would Save been welcomed home with open arms. Pshaw! He might be a poor, weak fool, but thiiik God, they couldn't reproach him with that. Annie bad been loyal to him throughout He'd stick to her through thick and thin. As the train swept round t h e enrre at Fifty-third street and started on its long, straight jrafc up ; tbe W e s t side, his mind reverted t o Robert Underwood. He had seen bis old associate only once siqee reaving college. He res across htm one-day on FJ/th »••* • * 4 4 him what ha chose. He wondered why he had not tried to resist. The truth was Underwood exercised a strange, subtle power ever. him. He had the power tA m/rke him 6> 5everytJiisV;he wanted htni to do, no matter how foolish or unreasonable the" request. Hvery one a t ' c o l l e g e ' u s e d t o talk about it. One night Underwood invited 1}1 his classmates to his rpoms and made him cut up all kinds of capers. He at first refused, point blank—but Underwood got up and, standing directly in front of him, gazed steadily into his eyes. Again he commanded him to do these ridiculous, degrading things. Howard felt himself weakening. He was suddenly seized with the feeling that he must obey. Amid roars of laughter he recited the entire alphabet standing on one leg, he crowed like a rooster, he hopped like a toad, and he crawled abjectly on his belly liRe. a snake. One of the fellows told him afterward that he had been hypnotized. He had laughed at it then as a good joke, but now he came to think of it, perhaps it was true. Possibly he was a subject. Anyway he was glad to be rid of Underwood and his uncanny influence. Tin' train stopped with a jerk at his station and Howard rode down in the elevator to t h e street. Crossing Highth avimue, he was going straight home when suddenly he halted. The glitter and tempting array of bottles in a corner saloon window tempted him. He suddenly felt'that if there was one thing hip needed in the world above all others it was another drink. True, he had had more than enough already. But that was Coxe's fault. Jle had invited him and made him drink. There couldn't be any harm in taking another. He might as well be hanged for a sheep a» a lamb. 4By the time he emerged from the saloon his speech was thick and his step uncernue. Underwood was coming out of a curio shop. He explained hurriedly that he had left Yale, and when asked about his future plans talked vaguely of going in for art. His matter was frigid^ and nervous—the attitude of the man who fears he may be approached for a. small loan. He was evidently well aware of the change in his old associate's fortunes, and having squeezed a l l h e could out of him, had no further use for him. It W23 only when he had disappeared that Howard suddenly remembered a loan of $250 which Underwood had never repaid. Some time later Howard learned that he occupied apartments at the exclusive and expensive Astruria, where he was living in _. great style. He went there determined to see him and demand his money, but the card always came back "uot at home." Underwood had always been a mystery to Howard. He knew him to be an inveterate gambler and a man entirely without principle. No one knew who his family were or where he caaie from. His source of income, too, was always a puzzle. At college he-^was -always hard upr 4>orrowing right and left and forgetting to pay. I tain. A few minutes later he was yet he *always succeeded in living on painfully climbing up the ricketvstairs the fat of the land. His apartments 1 of a cheap-looking flat house. As he '| Wish I Could Help .You, Old Man." in the Astruria cost a small fortune; he dressed well, drove a smart turnout and entertained lavishly. H e was not identified with any particular business or profession. On leaving college he became interested in art. He frequented the Important a r t sales and soon got his name In the newspapers as an authority on art matters. His apartment w a s literally a museum of the apartments to greet Howard. She was a vivaciouB brunette of medium height, intelligent looking, with of European and oriental art. On alirg0 O <i features and fine teeth. It-was s i d e s . w e r e paintings by old-masters, beautiful rugs, priceless tapestries, rare ceramics, enamels, statuary, antique furniture, bronzes, etc. He passed for a man of wealth, and mothers with marriageable daughters, considering him an eligible young bachelor, hastened to invite him to their homes, none of them conscious of the danger of letting the wolf slip into the lambs' fold. What a strange power of fascination, mused Howard as the train jogged along, men of Underwood's bold and reckless type wield, especially over women. Their very daring and unscrupulousncss seems to render them more attractive. He himself at college had fallen entirely under the man's spell. There was no doubt that he was responsible for all his troubles. Underwood possessed the uncanny gift of being able to bend people to his will. What a fool he had made of him at the university!- He had been his evil genius, there was TYOquestion of that. But for meeting Underwood he might have applied himself to serious study, left the university with honors and be now a respectable member of the community w a s through Underwood t h a t . h e had met his wife. Some of the fellows hinted thaH, Underwood had known her more intimately than he had pretended and had only passed her on to him because he w a s tired of her. He had nailed that as a lie. Annie, he oofM swear, was as good a girl as ever breathed. He couldn't explain'Underwood's influence over him. He had done with reached the top floor a cheerful voice called out: "Is that you, Howard, dear?" CHAPTER IW The box-like hole w'nere Howard sat awaiting his meal was the largest room in a flat which boasted of 'live and b a t h " There was a 'jedroom of equally diminutive proportions and a parlor with wall paper so loud that it talked. There was scarcely enough room to swing a cat around. The thin walls were cracked, the rooms were carpetless. Yet it showed the care of a good housekeeper. Floors and windij.w.a.. were cleau, the cover on the table spotless. The furnishings were us meager as they wqsjp ingenious. With their slender purse they had been able to purchase only the bare necessities—a^ bed, a chair or two, a dining room. ta>le, a few kitchen utensils. When 'they wanted to sit in the parlor they had to carry a chair from the dining room; wtwii meal times came the chairs had to travel back again. A soap box turned upside tiown and neatly covered with chintz did duty as a dresser in the bedroom, and with a few photographs and tacks they had managed to impart an aesthetic appearance1 to the parlor. Thio place cost the huge sum of $25 a mouth. It might just ay v.'<:H have cost $100 for all Howard's ability' to pay it. The past month's rent was long overdue ami the janitor looked more insolent every day.* Hut they did not care. They were young and life was still before-theui. Presently Annie came in carry in:; a steaming dish of stew, which she laid en the table. As she helped Howard to a plate full she said: "So you had no luck again this morning?" Howard was too busy eating to answer. As he gulped down a huge piece of bread, he growled: "Nothing, as usual—same old story, nothing doing." Annie sighed. She had been given this answer so ofterv Uigfc it would have surprised her to hear anything else. It meant that- their—hard—ha*wW to-mouth struggle must go on." She said nothing. What was the use? It would never do to discourage Howard. She tried to make light of it. "Of course it isn't easy, I quite understand that. Never mind, dear. Something will turn up soon. Where did you go? Whom did you see? Why didn't y o u . l e t drink alone when you promised me you ; would?" "That was Coxe's fault," blurted out Howard, always ready to blame others for his own shortcomings. "You remember Coxe! He was- at Yale when I was. A big, fair fellow with blue eyes. He pulled stroke in the 'varsity bout race, you remember?" "I think I do," replied his wife, indifferently, as she helped him to more stew. "What did tie wnnt? Whnt'a he doing in New York?" "He's got a fine place in a broker'3 office in Wall street. I felt ashamed to let him are me low down like this. He said that I could make a good deal of money if only I had a little capital. He knows everything going on In Wall street. If I went in with him I'd be~o"TT"Easy street." "How much would It require?" "Two thousand dollars." Tho young wife gave a sigh as she answered: "I'm^ftiraid that's a day dream. Only your 1'athcr^iQlild give you such an amount and you^ wouldn't go to him, would you?" ^^--^^ "Not if we hadn'f. a n o t h f ^ c r u s t in the house,"'snapped Howard savagely. "Yon don't want lhe to, do ypu'.^ he asked looking up at her quickly, "No. dear," she answered calmly. "I have certainly no wish that you should humble yourself. At the same time I am not selfish chough to want to stand in the ,way of your future. Your father and stepmother hate me, I know thatr- I am the cause of your separation from your folks. No doubt your father would be very willing to help you if you would consent to leave me."u Howard laughed as he replied: "Well, If that's the price for the J $2,000 I guess I'll go without it. I wouldn't give you up for a million times $2,000!" Annie stretched her hand across I!

He remembered with a smile that it<» The young man made no reply. With an impatient gesture he passed on into the flat and flung himself down in a chair In the dining room. From the. adjoining kitchen came a welcome odor of cooking. "Dinner ready?" he demanded. "I'm devilish hungry." "Yes, de«r, Just a minute," replied not a doll fafe, but the face of a woman who had experienced early the hard knocks of the world, y e t in whom adversity had not succeeded in wholly subduing a naturally buoyant, amiable disposition. There was determination in the lines above her mouth. It w a s a face full of character, the face of a woman who by sheer dint of dogged perseverance might accomplish any task she cared to set herself. A smile of welcome gleamed in her eyes a s she inquired eagerly: "Well, dear, anything doing?" Howard shook his head for all respons$ and a look of disappointment crossed the : ng wife's face. "Say, that's tough, ain't it?" she exclaimed. "The Janitof was here again for the rent. He aays they'll serv* us with a dispossess. I told him to chase himself, I waa that mad." Annie's vocabulary was emphatic, rather than choice. Entirely without education, she made no pretense at being what she waa not and therein d o w n f 0 P a d e n t a l operation, took gas perhaps lay her chief charm. »A». . f t B d . _ d r i t B W d .

Practically all the important Infirmaries and hospitals in England have their own electric generating stations, and the size of the installations would surprise the majority of engineers. The equipment has to b * designed with y,nusual care, owing to the special conditions which prevail in hospital work. Even where a public supply Is available, the use of ha independent system is Justified on account of the security which it gives against failure of current at a critical moment. The installations are used for lighting, heating, ventilating, telephoning and other purposes, ;and many hospitals have laundries op-, erated electrically. One county asylum has its own private electric railway for conveying supplies from t h e nearest railway station. n " "" — — — The Duration of Dreams, Something regarding the duration of dreams can be gathered from this experience of a man who, on sitting his work, go to the club, leave for the station-, run for the train and miss it. He returned to bis club and 'reclined on a settee in the library. There he passed a miserable, restless night, getting gradually colder and colder at the fire died down, and with a pain gradually growing about his head and face from the hardness of his couch.

The Miser's Parrot i ^akeni from-the Arcbiwssvof BoWvants, Umhvd, the ^g reaiaet- inquiry «ad detec tire agency of modern 'tUnoa %y Flt£l>JHR*TCJ(. -REWALE lCopyrt#at,*Wa/*7*W.'U.Ck»jHB»H; | HE regular coVse of business one day brought the following peculiar letter to the London office of Bullivanta Limited. It shall serve to introduce one 'of the queerest cases which *M ttl*t inquiry agency ever undertook to elucidate: Tintagel Priory Near Penxance, Juno 29, W— Gentlemen: I have been advised to ad- -fltsaf you by the curate of this paria«, the Rev. Mr. Penmar, in the hope that you can help me unravel a very puzzling" myitery. My name U Muriel Pendragon, and 11 am the granddaughter of the late Mr. John Pendragon, who died six months ago. My grandfather was very eccentric, and although he waa always kind to me I cannot but admit that he was queer at times. By bur few immediate neighbors he wax accounted a mlBer—Just whv I have never been able to learn. We always had enough to live on, and" he sent me to good schools for some years after tny parents died. Since then I have kept house for him. One of grandfather's peculiarities consisted in an aversion to making" a will, although Mr.Penmar 'always" told him he should do BO. But he—my grandfather— would laugh and say there was plenty of time for that. Well, somehow I gained the idea that he was quite rich—not that I ever saw much money, but because whenever gold or silver was needed it waa sure to be forthcoming. Then, I Knew that he inherited several thousands of pounds from his father— which would- have come to my father had he lived. Well, last Christmas eve grandfather died in his sleep, and since then, although the house has been searched from attic to cellar, we can find neither papers nor any secret source of wealth. Mr. Penmar has inquired of the banks In Pensance, St. Ives and Falmouth, If grandfather had any moneys deposited, but the answer is no in every case. But atlil I am sure—and the popular belief bears me out in this—that poor grandfa.- ther was really a wealthy man. As I am his sole heir, and all alone in the world, you wilt see how deeply I am interested Keppel. You're young and enthusiastic— I won't say romantic—'but this 'is one of those matters where a man •of some imagination is needed. But don't let Miss—er—Miss Pendragon— fine old name that—twirl you round her finger. From what she says there will be little in the shape of lees for Bullivanta unless you locate the old miser's hoard—in which case we shall expect the usual percentage. Take your time, spare no expense, and report when you're ready. Nil desperanduni, remember." These concluding clauses embodied at^ once the usual instructions to Bullivants' men, and my own particular vade mecura. I bade Callister good morning, and went out to look up a convenient train via the London and Southwestern for Penzance, the nearest, station to Tintagel Prlo^. I arrived in England's most westerly town the next evening greatly exhilarated by the long ride which took me through the picturesque "West Countree,"—the land of Lorna Doon*. My inquiries at the inn elicited the fact that Tintagel Priory was midway between Penzance and Marazion, on the shores of Mount's bay. Next morning r set out on foot, the distance being some ten or twelve miles at most. As a lad I had devoured the page* of Kingsley's "Westward Ho," yet had never dared hope that I'd be fortunate enough to visit the scenes amid which 1U stirring adventures are laid. Consequently I fairly reveled in the glorious scenery of that shore road—winding over moor and g-len and chine, always within sight and sound of the Western ocean of Drake and Raleigh, and replete with legends of King Ar- Bxcept for a few sovereigns—less than •UO-there was nothing in sight after the funeral, and I have managed to live on that these last six months, I am sure there Is a dreadful mystery somewhere, end this is my reason for writing you, being Informed that you undertake to unravel family troubles like this. Perhaps- X ought to add that grandfather left in gay care a very old parrot, who talks in s> wdnderfully clever way. He (grandfather), always bade me to be, careful of ••Capt. Bob" (that's the parrot's name), and "always mind what the bird said." I know this must sound very silly to busy gentlemen In the city—but I can't help thinking that Capt. Bob knows a great deal. He certainly does talk very strange* ]y, but I can!t make head or tail of what he say*. Please pardon this long and rambling letter. X have told you but little after air, I And; but if what I have smtd prompts you to help me In any way, X shall forever be, -.* Gratefully yours, MURIEL* PENDRAGON. The then resident manager of Bulllf ants, In King William street, London, handed me the foregoing epistle wjth the quiszical worts: "What do you think of that, Keppel?" I was about the youngest member of the staff, and so perhaps the natural recipient of hopeless assignments; I read and re-read Miss Pendragon's artless letter under the runs of the manager's eyes, then made answer: 'Tin not saying much at this, distance, hut It strikes me there must have been something queer about old John Pendragon." "Queer!" exclaimed Callister, "I fancy youll discover something more Urin queer.1* , "Then*—" I was beginning, when he finished the sentence for me: »\ mean you to undertake the c a s t thur and his knights, of Tristan and Isolde, to say nothing of more modern freebooters and smugglers. For there is scarcely a headland or a-cove between Penzance and Falmouth, but has its weird tale of these gentry and their fights with the revenue men, while the cliffs are honeycombed with caves wherein the smugglers and the wreckers used to secrete their booty. However, by the time, I reached Tintagel Priory I was all alert for the business which brought me thither. The "priory" proved a hideous disappointment, for it was nothing more than a large, rambling old thatched cottage standing in a riot of roses and old-fashioned flowers. Whatever its ancient use, there was now no sign of church or abbey. In short, the name was a purely fanciful one. As I clicked the garden gate behind me a vision of girlish loveliness appeared at the single door of the house, framed in a border of pink blossoms! Passing up the pebbled path, hat in hand, I quickly made her out to be a girt of about 1», rather tall, with cheeks like' the palest of roses, a wealth of red-gold hair, and a pair of honest, earnest gray eyes. I presented my card, saying with my best bow: "Mr. Mason Keppel—from Bum- •ants. This, I presume, Is Miss Pendragon?" "Oh, then they received lsy-4etter! I was afraid they wouldn't botherr "On the contrary, Miss Pendragon, I am sent to be of the utmost serriee to you. Pray command me in any and e?ery way.". Although A s blushed very prettily there -was nothing of rustic shyness ha Iter manner. "Wont jwu come In?" she suggested. "Or would you rather sit out bene among the roses?" 3 voted tor the roses, and soon we were chatting like old friends. I gathered toy dint wf courteous questionings tfcat her grandfather was nearly »0 <wien fee died; that he had followed on adventurous career In his youth:; that he ttad undoubtedly "made money" tn those early days, and that his wealth had been augmented (a various ways; also that the countryside called him a "miser—-perhaps because be "held on to bis money. ATI ancient «rone whom Miss Pendragon called "Margery," set before us, on a rustic table, some luscious strawberries, cream and cakes—the like of whlcb 1 never tasted before, though, thank goodness. ! get them for seven months of the year nowadays. I was just about %o attack these delicacies Vben a roost infernal uproar anose from within the cottage— a loud, raucous voice proclaiming; something that sounded like: 'Dee Ess! Dee-Ess! Dec-Ess1: .Now listen'" Jollowed by a torrent of incoherent, yet evidently what was meant lor coherent speech, but of which I could make nothing, winding up with a thrjeked "three cheers lor the devil." The last at least, was distinct enough .„ Miss Pend"ragou fairly higgled— there is no other name lor the biueker of bubbling laughter that came from her lips, ab she gatped: 'That's Capt. HOU—the parrot, you know—of whom 1 wrote. That's the wafr he goes on ail the time, lie was grandfather's pet, ana they were almost cronies. Nobody knowa^how old he is—but grandfather, with almost his dying breath, charged me to be very careful of Capt. Bob, and always mind what he said. It sounds too stupid for anything—don't you think so, Mr. Keppel?" The girl's fresh loveliness and altogether artless manner had go bewitched me—I Vas rather young and Impressionable in those days—that lor the moment I lost my tongue. Then I remembered in time that I was at Tintagel Priory on business, and pulled myself together, answering with due gravity: "In my profession, Miss Pendragon, we learn never to scoff at trifles.

That's how it struck me when I pored over it half Yhe night at the Penzance Arms. Hut suddenly It flashed into my mind that the whole thjng was nothing more than a bit of cipher writing which needed only to be unlocked to be read the hidden meaning or message! Now, fortunately. I had dabbled a bit in cryptograms of various kinds, and knew what the most artful cipher can be deciphered if brie will be at sufficient pains. So I called for fresh candles and set to work anew. Perhaps it was the <x>nstant iteration of the words "rod"' and "black" which gave me the hint; however, I suddenly decided that a pack of counnon playing cards had been used in contriving the cipher. To this conclusion I was mateilaljj' helped by the opening exclamations of the parrot's speech: "Dee-Ess" thrice repeated. These, 1 guessed, stood for "diamonds" and "spades." After that the process was easy. I had read of "card ciphers"—where two suits of & pack oi cards are taken, 26 in all, one card standing tor each letter of the alphabet. The reader will see that this allows of infinite variety; the trick consists in finding out the particular sequence which has been adopted in arranging the cipher Hut already I had the two] suits, diamonds and spades to start on. So, to test the matter then and there, after one or two experiments, I made a tentative alphabet, as follows: per, and by one of those freakish mental pranks which the old sometimes indulge in, had worked out bis message and entrusted it to the parrot rather that make a will, fully believing that his granddaughter or some helper like myself w.ould succeed in unraveling the secret It is further my private belief that the old rascal had come by much of his money In questionable wayfi and was secretly afraid to publish the amount of his wealth by means of a written will or testament. However, my next step was manifestly to communicate my discovery to Muriel Pendragon—for although 1 had known her but two short days, al ready 1 had come to think or her by her pretty Christian name. My MrBt question after the usual polite greetings was: "Do you know of any locality near here called King Arthur's cave?" "Why, surely," she answered. 'Every Cornlsbrnan on Mount's bay epuld direct you. It's an old smugglers' refuge. Why do you ask, Mr. Kep polT' I parried this question by another. "Is it fa* from here?" "Yes, ami, uo," was the answer "Arthur's caves--t^ere are several of them, really—extend for miles under the cliffs. SoL.e of them can only be entered at low tide, but it so happens that there is an entrance to one of them from under our own kilt.inn floor by . means of a trap door. I've never been down, but I know it's there, because grandfather often used to take a lantern and disappear lor hours at a lime. Hut why--" Again I gave query for query." Would you trust me to go down— with a lantern, of course?" "Oh, you mustn't think of that—go ing alone, I mean! People have been lo:-:t and starved to death down there in former days There was a lovely concern in her voice which brought an altogether adorable color to the girl's cheeks. Then suddenly she exclaimed: "You're keeping something from me. Mr. Keppel! What is it? Have you discovered grandfather's secret?" Seeing no other way out of it I told her the truth and read the parrot's message as I had deciphered it. She listened wuh bated breath and palpitatlTf,' bosom. "Hut we mustn't be too sure," I continued. The whole .thing may be a hoax, you know." "Ah, but you didn't know poor 'old grandfather," she commented. "It was hi* forethought for me which caused him to take tnis roundabout way of concealing and then revealing his secret wealth." A. " _5 C JD E F G- "Certainly," she replied. "Come this way," leading me into a wide, low ceillnged and diamond latticed- chamber, which was at once dining room, living room, and the girl's sewing room. On a tall perch by the window ' strutted Capt. Bob—the most disreputable and battered gray parrot I ever saw. "Don't be surprised If he should I. swear," continued Miss Fendragon. ''Sometfmes, particulariy aTthe" sight of strangers, he goes on dreadfully." Scarcely were the words out of her pretty mouth than Capt. Bob did swear—a perfect torrent of "language" gathered from sailors' fo'c's'les, most of which was luckily beyond her comprehension. Then, without a break, he chanted the refrain I had already overheard: "Dee-Ess! Dee-Ess! Dee-Eas! Now listenI^-and then a string of gibberish, too rapid for analysis, growing ""faster and faster toward the end, and rising into avshriek. "Does the gentleman never vary his tune?" I inquired. "Never," was the answer, "Poor grandfather taught him every word— oh, I don't mean the bad words," she hastened to put in with a becoming blush—"but all that sing-song patter; for hours at a time grandfather used to keep Capt. Bob in bis room, going over and over that rigmarole until the bird got it by heart.1' While she was speaking I had been doing some thinking, and as a result said aloud: "That rigmarole, as you call it, Miss Pendragon, probably contains the clew to your grandfather's secret." She looked at me with wide-open eyes, aj&swerihg under her breath: "Do you really think so? Why?" "Because from what was outlined In your letter and from all that you have told me yourself, I infer that your respected relative had a secret which he was—pardon me—too timorous, or too cunning to put to paper, and s o he confided it to that clever bird. Of course, the bird might have died and carried the secret with him. That was a risk, certainly. Equally* of course, as It sounds It's all gibberish— not even an expert stenographer could take it down. But I know a way to get around that. If you'll excuse me I'll get back to Penssance and do a bit of telegraphing. But on your life, be very good to Capt Bob, tor I'm convinced he holds a valuable secret in that frauled nttle head of his." "When shall I sea you again?" she Inquired artlessly. "Oh, 111 run over to-morrow—to inquire after Capt. Bob/'I laughed as w* shook hands. I'm not vain, but I verily believe Mist Pendragon was loath to see me go—and who'd .blame her, living in that desolate corner of the realm? My errand to Penxance consisted in telegraphing to London for a firstclass phonograph—rush. As a result tha apparatus came down by the night train,* and was In my hands toon after breakfast next morning. Hiring a fly, I made all haste to reach Tintagel Priory, arriving there in time for Mother luncheon of strawberries and cream, and' cakes. But I lost no time In setting up tha phonograph, to bo in readiness for taking a record of Capt Bob's lucubrations. And, barring a H V N o P q R S ILL u *v <Vt*A% (LLI W iy**fe.<j X V . X - fijJLet P&JLIO &JL l(X Now, if the reader has followed me thus far' it will be seen that such words as "cue" and "jay" and "kay" being taken down phonetically, stood for Q equaling the queen; J equaling the jack; and K equaling the king, the color being givr*ji as a prefix—red or block for diamonds or spades. Also I found that the cipher depended on an alternation of the two colors, and that the word "double" was tiBed where' two similar letters followed each other, The early midsummer dawn was stealing through ray open windows ere I had unlocked the cipher, working now backwards, now forwards, and -with sundry checks. But finally I wa« able to interpret the parrot's message as follows: "Well, somebody must RO," I insisted. "The directions are plain enough. Give me a lantern and a supply of candles. I'll guarantee not to get lost," "No," she decided with blushing insistence. "You are doing this for me, Mr. Keppel; I will not hear of your running into danger on my account. We'll go together!" That suited me, for 1 didn't really take-any stock in the perils of King Arthur's cave. Where an old man of 80 could go, a youngster of six-andtwenty might surely venture. So we started by lifting a square of carpet in the old kitchen beneath which were revealed the outlined cracks of a trap door abouj. three feet by two.—T-feis we pried up by meanB of a pickax from the garden, and saw at our feet a narrow stairway of rude slabs.

But suddenly the celling rose sgaln, after going perhaps a hundred feet, and we fouad ourselves In another, though much smaller cave. "If this is gallery No. 2, we'll soon know the beat—or the worst," I ssdd with a chuckle. "Let's light the other lantern and seme candles/' This I did. sticking the tallow dips In the rocky crevices here and there, so that In Ave minutes we had a regular illumination. Then I consulted the cipher" nncp more, although I really kutjiv the ihiuK bv heart. "Look tor the Ugn of a crown. Miss Hendragon," I (ailed out. "You take that side; 111 take this." 9o pdund we went, scrutinizing every foot of the smooth rock, raising and lowering the lanterns at will. .:vi'c'enly her slender girlish treble : :: ng out; H e r e it is* I've found it!" 1 hurried to her Bide, and there, sure enough, breast high, was a rude (iritw'ing-of a five-pointed crown. '•'(><'or the mark,' it said," I quoted, S"Ming down on my hands and Unees Miss Pendragon did ftkewise and fheYe we were, our heads nearly touching, looking for we knew not what. Hut even as we knelt there the floor gave way, or rather the slab on which we knelt, tilted, one-half going into a cavity In the foor. the other rising fully two feet In air, •Til hold it!" i exclaimed, "while vou lower the lantern." It took both •uy hands to balance the huge 'flag. 'What do you see?" I inquired hoarsely. 'Why—-it's—just—full—of-^-money!" was the awed answer as the girl raised h^r startled eyes to mine. 1 was afilad she might faint, t h o u g h ! have ^ince been told that I was a goo?e to dream of such a thing, so 1 grave . at to a cackle of laughter, and cried out: "Three cheers for the par rot!" -.-.. This made her laugh and broke the tension. I let the stone fallback on its plvor, ;:nd after blowing out -the^ candles we made hand in hand for the trap-door, and the kitchen of Tintagel Priory. Well, my quest was ended—thanks to the baldheaded old gray parrot, you'll say—but at any rate it was I who unraveled the cipher. That night between dark and dawn, we removed all the treasure—it consisted entirely of gold guineas and sovereigns, and of silver coins, value about £20,006-^^8¾¾ ue.U day 1 helped Miss Pendragon deposit her fortune in the Falmouth bank. Of course Rullivants was pleased, and I received my meed of praise from headquarters, I trusf^-ith becoming •'modesty; ""'Hiit the story does Sot end here. Remembering the closing words of old John Pendrapon's queer cipher message: "Who finds keeps," it came about that I had found not only a very respectable monetary treasure, but one unspeakably greater. For six months later Miss Muriel Pandragon became Mrs. Ma^on Keppel. WINTER EGGS FROM HENS Farmer Wile's Method of Getting Plenty of Them in the Season of Cold Weather. V. C. Wile, a Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, poultryman, -lecturing on the timely subject of how to keep hens laying from the first of October until the last of February, said: "I am obtaining eggs from hens at this season of the year at a cost of only one cent per egg. For many persons, the cost is five cents to produce an ej;g in December. -'Now the secret lies in how to produce the greatest number'of eggs from the samfi number of hens. To Obtain that end, proper breeding,, feeding, housing and care are essential. The ration—f—ferd-'TB-y-taying hens and which costs me only five cents daily for 12 chickens, is choaen because of its ready assimilation, and consists of sprouted oats, beef scraps, cross-cut bones and a variety of wheat, barley,, corn and a little buckwheat. "! am very careful to keep the chicken house well ventilated and the floors littered with «!ean straw or leaves.

A great many people visit this place annually. It can be reached by two routes, the electric caTBj which run from Washington, or by boat. This last is a favorite way, as it giveB one a delightful trip on the Potomac. It is well to go one route and return the other, for in both Instances historic -ground Is traveled to the very gates of Mount Vernon—that spot fllled with sacred memories. , Mount Vernon at first view presents a noble appearance. It stands on a hill 150 feet in height and the first glimpse reveals the h o n e which one recognizes Instantly. As the steamer nears t$e landing place and passes the tornb of Washington flags are lowered at half-mast and the bfcll is tolled, a custom said to have originated wjhen a commodore of the British navy-, as a iriark of respect, ordered his ship's bell. tolled wpen he passed Mount Vernon. J A world of history lies In this spot. Mount "Vjfrnon as it stands today embraces but 237 acres, afftmall part of the original estate which, by grant of Iaord Culpeper in 1074, became the property of/ John Washington. From John Washington hilf of the estate descended to Lawrence Washington and it was he who built the house and named It Mount Vernon in honor of Lord Vernon, the British admiral under whom he had sensed. Later the property fell to Cteorg* Washington, who purchased adjoining land. In 1799, when George Washington died, the property passed ae a life interest to his wife and later BuBhrod Washington, Jphn Augustine Washington and John A. Washington, Jr., followed in succession as owners of Mount Vernon. In 1855 the \owner, though possessed of a'JaTge estate hallowed by sacred memories and associations. felt be « t f unable to maintain it, as it was not productive of material benefits. Botft the national government and the state of Virginia were approaXhed in regard to purchasing it. Finally through an agitation started by Ann Pamela Cunningham the Mount Vernon Ladles' association of the U s i e o wa» organised and 200 acres- of the V e r m e*tate\ including -the tomb, manfilon, attendant buildings ami wharf, were purchased for $200,000. The approach * is through a. gateway to an attractive green, which extends to the mansion. To the left and right are flower and kitchen gardens and many old trees, which were planted by Washington and his guests. One in particular is a large magnolia, which was set oat by Washington in 1799, the year in which he died. George Washington enlarged tti<T origi- .. -nal villa, built by Lawrence Washington, by increasing, its length and height, completing its improvements in 1786. Its foundation walls are of stone and brick, the framework oak and the sheathing pine, painted and stained to resemble stone. The roof is of cypress shingles and a spaclous and well-drained cellar underlies the whole house. This Is Mount Vernon and the large brass knocker on the central door of the west front indicates that this was the usual point of approach to the mansion. Nearby is the sun dial in the center of a spacious court, flarfked by several frame buildings consisting of kitchen and offices, which are joined to the main buildings by, colonnades. When tbe threshold is crossed what mingled feetingB of awe and respect fill the heart! How the thoughts fly as the relics displayed in the different rooms are viewed! Several of the states have restored the various rooms at their own expense and many objects of the past greet the visitor. Here is the key to the Ba&tile, the prison so famous during the French revolution. Lafayette presented this to Washington in-1789 an a "trophy of the spoils of despotism." There is the music room with the harpsichord which George Washington presented to Nellie Custis as a wedding present. In the room is the original Chippendale sideboard and the iron fireback brought to this country by Lord Fairfax, friend of Washington. Every room in the o*ld mansion contains something of historical interest, but visitors are naturally drawn to the room in which Washington died. Here is the big four-posted bed upon which he lay when death overtook him. The quaint canopy and fixings of the bed have*been restored and some of Washington's personal effects add' much to the impressiveness of the spot. Among these are his military chest and camp equipment. The family kitchen, with its quaint colored dishes, iron kettles and swinging cranes, is a point of interest, while the smoke house nearby, larder and spring house show that many guests were fed and much material prepared to clothe the' slaved and provide for the general use of the family. Each Is fitted up in the style of the time in which Washington lived. Among all the charms of the home of Washington not one can eclipse the ideal flower garden, with its box hedges indelibly marking the walks and flower beds as in the past. Quests of distinction were mvlted -to—plant tret;H, shrubs ' and gjpwers, mementoes of their visits. La.fa.VUlte"and Jefferson have leafy monuments here, and* the roses named by Washington fcr his mother and others named for him and Nellie Custis still flourish. At the end of the long walk in the garden is the livtle schoolhouse in which the Custis children were taug.ht, The oldest building is the barn, erected in 17,1.1 by George Washington's father. The English brick are laid in strong mortar made of oyster shell lime, and he^re were kept the coach and saddle horses.- The white chariot, as the traveling coach was called, was kept in a carriage house nearby. South of the mansion on a brow of the hill overlooking the Potomac is the summer house. It contains a beautiful view of the river and its deep cellar was once used as an ice he-use.. Nearby Is the deer paddock, which has been stocked with Virginia deer. Though a tour of inspection develops historical attractions at every turn, the chief point of interest on the grounds is the new tomb of Washington, which stands several yards distant from the old mausoleum that once held the ashes of the Washington family. It is beautifully located in a clump of trees and flowering plants and vines surround it on all sides. This simple yet eloquent statement marks its importance. It was planned by George Washington and built by his executors. Within the iron portals one may see the catafalque that contains the remains of Washington and the sarcophagus that holds the body-of his wife. In the rear of the tomb is anCirhn door that opens into the receptacle that contains the the remains of others of the Washington family, The iron grating that closes the outside\entrance has been heightened, for at one time a vandal attempted to climb over it. The gite Is locketrTaWTtrekey is said to have been burled in the Potomac To the memory of Bushrod Washington and John Augustine Washington, successors to the general, marble stafts were erected in front of the tomb. An old negro stands near at hand and for many years has discoursed to visitors on the spot and Its surroundings^ The -simplicity of ~the~~ tomb Ts characteristic of the man and those that gaze upon the resting place of the great hero instinctively speak In whispers an'd are awed by the memories associated with the place. One is bewitched and enthralled with the place and lingers long on this spot, where reposes that which is mortal of him who was as brave a warrior, as stanch a patriot and as able a statesman as ever lived.

The Shire horse is essentially the English farmer's own. Across the border the Clydesdale holds sway. It is flattering to the English breeder to know that America and Canada are now taking more Shires than they have ever done before. England today is being constantly scoured by American buyers for the right kind of Shire horses. The English Shire horse has improved vastly of recent years, in uniformity of type,, in feet, action and has vastly better pasterns and quality of hair and bone. The farmer's brood mare—the -rent payer—is a real feminine type, namely, neither of the gelding or the stallion appearance. She is always mated to a stallion of great masculinity, possessing good, wide, strong feet, and is naturally a free mover, with flat, sou-nd bone, of strong consittution and as big as possible. In the large studs the greatest care is taken over the matter of suitable stallions selected. Very few traveling stallions are to be found without a veterinary surgeon's certificate of soundness. '-li anything, some of the Tarmers who have found breeding a rapid means of acquiring wealth, are in- HORSESHOEING IS SCIENCE clined to get quality at the expense of weight and substance. Shows are the best advertisement that fthe English tenant-farmer has for getting rid of h l i wares to the landlord or the rich breeder. Shows in an English summer are as plentiful as sparrows. They are held upon the slightest provocation, where two or three horse breeders are gathered together. One of the most gratifying features of the Shire horse breeding in the old country, is that tiie rich man settles in the locality, or suddenly becomes prominent as a breeder of first-class animals. He spends no end of money on buying and maturing. These often fall into the hands of the farmer cheaply, and very often the farmer-sells back their offspring at considerable prices. Shire service is cheap In England, when one considers the enormous outlay of some of the breeders, and the No M a n I s F u l l y E q u i p p e d , f o r T e a k U n l e s s H e U n d e r s t a n d s A n o t o m y of A n i m a l ' s F o o t - A d v a n c e B e i n g M a d e . tenant farmer, or the~"Tirmet—wJicse_ land is only rented, has all the benefits of his rich proprietor's patronage. The old country may have oldfashioned ways, but the farmer knows when he is well off and he knows that to raise Shire horses successfully is to have a bank balance and to have no haunting fears from a disastrous season. the hnrse in such a way that thjf evils arising from these defects will be lessened or overcome entirely. 4 HEREDITY can Be Overcome in Cases, The influence of heredity cannot, of course, be successfully, disputed, but it can be minimized or entirely overcome in same cases by correct foodand drink. A Conn, lady says: "For years while I was a coffee drinker I suffered from bilious atta<$ e~ of great severity, from which I used to (JgaeTge- as whtjp as a-ghost and very weak. Our family physician gave me various prescriptions for improving the digestion and stimulating the liver, which I tried faithfully but without perceptible result. "He was acquainted with my family history for several generations back, and once when I visited him he said: 'IfL-yott .have 4nborlted -one- -of- ' t h o s e torpid livers you may always suffer more or less from its inaction. We can't dodge our inheritance, you know.' "I was not so strong a believer in heredity a s he was, however, and, beginning to think for myself, I concluded to stop drinking coffee, and see what effect that would have. X feared it would be a severe trial to give it up, but when I took Postum' and had it well made, It completely filled my seed for a hot beverage and I grewvery fond of it. 1 have used Postum for three years, using,.no medicine. During all that time I have had absolutely none of the bilious-attacks that I used to suffer from, and I have been entirely free from the pain and debilitating effects that used to result from them. "The change. 1* .surely very great, a n d I a m . compelled to give Postnfh t b e * e * e l w ! t e credit for lt.M.

Formerly the ordinary blacksmith, who knew very little about the underlying principles that should- govern horse shoeing, was called upoirto-shoe horses. As a result very much of the work done was inferior and such work re-acted in many instances against the usefulness of the horse that was thus shod. The advance that has been made in this branch of blacksmithing during recent years, has been very great. The work of shoeing horses is so variable in its requirements that no small degree of skill is required on the part of those engaged in the business. It would perhaps be correct to say that no horse shoer is fully equipped for his wdrk who does "not understand considerable about the anatomy of the horse's foot. He should also be able to detect defects in the animal's locomotion and should know how to shoe Neighborhood Exchanges. The difficulty of exchanging tools and labor with neighbors is in the personality. Some men will expect to use borrbwed tools all through the favorable weather and then return i them in a damaged condition too late to be of much use to the owner. In borrowing labor this kind of neighbor will work the hired man half to death and then in returning the labor spend half his time telling stories. In exchanging labor or anything else pick out a farmer who will practice the golden rule. New Mint Region. Peppermint growers of New York and Michigan .will meet competition from the reclaimed lands of Louisiana. A distillation plant is also in operation. A party of expert agriculturists recently inspecting the region were convinced that the crop can be'grown in- limited quantities at a good profit. Peppermint oil was imported into the United States during the fiscal year to the extent of 1,238 pounds, worth $6,416, while the exports of American peppermint oil amounted to 161,811 pounds, worth $288,318.

Even the Bank of England has not been entirely free from runs nor from the necessity of saving itself by strategy, In 1745, for instance, it was forced to employ agents to present notes, which were paid as slowly as possible in sixpences, the cash being immediately brought in by another^ door and paid in again, while,anxious holders of notes vainly tried to secure attention. In 1825, too, only the accidental discovery f of 700,000 £ 1 notea saved the bank from stopping payment.—London Chronicle. As a Reminder.

It-first came when she was between three and four weeks old, appearing on her head. I used everything imaginable and had one> doctor's bill after another, but nothing cured it. Then the eczema broke out so badly behind her ear that I really lliuuglii-libT oar wuuld cuuie off. Fof months I doctored i,t but to no avail. Then it began at her nose and her eyes were nothing but sores. I had to keep her in a dark room for two weeks. The doctor did no good, so I stopped him coming "For about two weeks I had used Cutlcura Soap for her every day, then I got a box of Cfiticura Ointment and began to use that. In a week there was a marked improvement. In all I used two cakes of Cutlcura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and my baby was cured of the sores. This was last November; now her hair is growing out nicely and she has not a scar on her, I can not praise Cutlcura enough, I can take my child anywhere and people are amazed to see her without a sore, From the time she was four weeks old until she was three years she was never without the terrible eruption, but now, thanks to Cuticura, I have a well child."

The United- States- 7 of America is now in the midst of a great crisis—one of three. The first was the desperate struggle of the baby republic to maintain life between 1776 and 1815. The second was the terrific fever which rattled the bones of the half-grown nation from 1861 to 1866. The third is different The hungry, blood-mad wolves of war are snarling all about us. We are charged with the problem of taking means bf defense against the time when they may turn from their carcasses to attack us. We must Insure for ourselves prosperity. For the good of the whole we must assume the task of harmonizing all the multitude of discordant and misunderstanding groups of people that compose our body politic—men and women of a great variety of racial antecedents, of political tenets, of religious beliefs, of capital and labor, of education and Ignorance—and weld them into one great patriotic mass. We must keep friendship with rur neighbors to North and South and across the seas. So in this time of stress It behooves us to keep our national temper and deal fairly and mean what we say. It is well worth while to consider the historian Lecky's description of George Washington: "In the despondency of long continued failure, in the elation of sudden success, at times when his soldiers were deserting by hundreds, and when malignant plots were formed against his reputation, amid the constant quarrels, rivalries, and jealousies of his subordinates, in the dark hour of national ingratitude, and in the midst of the most universal and intoxicating flattery. Washington was always the same calm, wise, just and single minded man, pursuing the course which he believed to be right without fear or favor or fanaticism; equally free from the passions that spring from Interest and from the passions that spring from Imagination. "He never acted on the impulse of an absorbing or uncalculatlng enthusiasm, and he valued very highly fortune, position, and reputation; but at the command of duty he was ready to risk and sacrifice them all. "He was, in the highest sense of (he words, a gentleman and a man of honor, and he carried into public life the standard of private morals. "It was at first the constant dread of large sections of the American people that if the old government were overthrown they would fall into the hands of military adventurers and undergo the yoke of military despotism. It was mainly the transparent Integrity of the character of Washington that dispelled the fear." There has rarely been a time when the people had more need of the lessons of Washington's life than now. We are in the midst of the uncertainties visited upon us, as a people at peace, by a conflagration which has enveloped a continent in war. In a year of peace, of sowing and reaping, of the productive activities of market and factory, we suddenly foind ourselves face to face with the peril of such a panic as the world had never witnessed. Industry withered as under a blight; trade dried up at the roots; our chief export crop lost for a time two-thirds of its value; specie payments were suspended in our financial centers, instead of having heavy trade balances in our favor, we were called upon for gold by the ton to pay for securities sent back to us by foreign investors. Want and destitution appeared where there had been plenty. We have come far since those black days, but a dangerous road still stretches before us. Let as remember Washington, the commander in chief of one battle. That was Yorktown. Washington took the command of the armies of the colonies in July, 1975. He received the surrender of Cornwallis in October, 1781, s o r t than six years later. These six years were spent in avoiding battle. Ther* waa ode brilliant sortie—the battle of Trtoton. But the history of his campaigns is the history of skillful retreats, like that which followed Trenton, rear-guard actions, defensive fights when attacked, disastrous offensive movements JTks that on Garmantown. Ha had no government behind hiss —only a k>oae "Confederation of colonies; which refused to pay tbetrJevIe* and loft hiss at one time with a discouraged remnaat of only 2,ao* to*. dlers. He avoided battle with ther Bestiah; he used the sits of the Indian fighter sad sapped sen of the very Jaws of disaster; ho moved from esses to place. But fas oonst not evade has gsr. oali. ,WHU? • » ^*i':' discipline and subordination not only requires time but is a work of great difficulty and in this country, where there is so little distinction between the officers and soldiers, requires an uncommon degree of attention. To expect the same service from raw and undisciplined recruits as from the veteran soldiers is to expect what never did and perhaps never will happen.—Washington* attack. The siege of Yorktown waa a splendid thing—but the real test came at Valley Forge. When at last the hour came to fight, fighting was easy by comparison with the waiting that had preceded i t ~ On July 2, 1775, General Washington arrived at Cambridge, Maaa^ accompanied by Major General Lee, his next in command, and other officers, and established headquarters in the mansion, subsequently occupied by Longfellow. About nine o'clock on the mornUg of the following day, attended by a suitable escort, he proceeded from his headquarters to a great elm tree near Harvard college. Here the Continental forces were drawn up in military order. Under the shadow of the tree Washington drew his sword as commander in chief of the American army, declaring thaff it should never be sheathed until the liberties of his country were established. Finally the day came for Washington to take leave of his army—October 18. 1?£S. For the last time he assem bled them at Newburgh, N. Y„ when ha rode ont on the field and gave them one of those paternal addresses which so eminently characterised hia relationship with his army . But his final leave of everything connected with his military life* was taken on December a, 178V at Faunces* tavern. Now York city. Hers he had requested his officers in foil uniform to On entering the room and finding himself sarrounf by his old in arms his agitated fSethis nsnsi self-control with «T*» turned toward him FQUng a glass of win* and lifting K to Us l^ts, he rested his be* saddened said- With a heart fast of hws tads, 1 axnr take leave Of may be as ous. 1 cannot come to each of you and take my leave, but shall be obliged to you if each of yon will come and take me by the hand." A profound silence followed as the officers gaaed at the countenance of their leader, while the eyes of all were wet with tears. He then expressed again his desire that each of them should come and take his hand. One after another followed, receiving and <• returning the affectionate adieu of their commander, after which he left, the room Jn silence, followed by his officers in- procession to embark in the bery» that "was to convey him to Panlns Hosk, now Jersey City. As he was passing through the light infantry, drawn np on either side to receive him, an old soldier who was by bis side on the terrible night of his march to Trenton, stepped ont of the ranks and reached out his arms, exclaiming: "Farewell, my dear general farewell!" Washington seised his hand most heartily, when the soldiers forgot all discipline, rushed toward their chief and bathed hia with their tears. The scene wss like that of a good patriarch taking leave of his children and going on a long journey whenos he might return no morsvj - Having entered the barge, he tamed to ths Weeping company upon the wharf and, waving his bat, bads them s silent adieu.

Paris,—There are now 66,449 women in the French Red Cross volunteer army, equipping 1,500 hospitals with an aggregate of 118,000 beds. The Red Cross flag now flies over 288 buildings in Paris -alone. The Society for Aid to Wounded Soldiers, the largest of the three Red Cross organizations and the originator of the work in France in 1864, spent 32,000,000 fraca during the first 17 monthB of the war. The society has operated 796 hospitals, containing ,47,081 beds, and given a total of 21,- 000,000 days' care to wounded soldiers. Besides these hospitals, the society maintains a hospital of 500 beds at Salonlki, 93 refuges established in the sixth and twentieth military regions in France, 70 infirmaries in railroad stations and 45 railroad canteens. The mortality among the Red Cross nurses has been remarkably heavy, considering the character of their work and the immunity they are supposed to enjoy under international regulations. Twenty-two members of the society for Aid to the Wounded Soldiers have given, their lives to the cause, some of them killed under shell fire, others carried off by contagious diseases. Nurses of this society have received 63 epidemic medals, 60 war crosses and one cross of the Legion of Honor. New Strength for Lame Backs end Worn-out Condition!

There, can be no doubt that no important concessions will be made by Britain to America, even in view of the possibility of an American embargo, but every effort will be made by soft words to prevent wrath rising In the United States. If the attitude of Washington hardens if will be due to a bargain between the administration and Count von Bernstorff, does not tend to lessen the distinct bitterness which has crept into the tone of men who have hitherto expressed confidence that previous American protests to London were not intended to be taken seriously.

A SCHEME FOR FEDERAL PAY Would Increaae the National Guard Seventy Thousand in Time of Peace—Separate Branch of tf There t- a Damp, Low Spot In Vour Garden Convert It Into a Pond LUy Bed. GROWING WATER LILIES Fortunate are those having a natural pond or site where one may be easily constructed. Yet a miniature pond in the garden Is within the reach of anyone. In selecting a site, choose one. If possible, partly shaded from the noonday glare, yet having the full benefit of the morning sun. This should be prepared the fall before In order to be fully decomposed Lilies open in the morning and close at least partially during the middle of the day, hence the more they are protected from the Intense heat the more lasting will be the blossoms. It should be on low ground, the top being preferably Just below the ground level. Tf there is not a natural depression. an artificial one can easily be made, the earth removed from the pool being arranged at the proper place at the sides to make a gradual slope. It should be about two feet deep for our native lilies and lotus, but another foot must be added if you are so ambitious as to try to grow that giant beauty, Victoria Regina. Have it protected from high winds in some way; trees or shrubs serve nicely. The material used in making the pond may be concrete or brick. An outlet or an overflow pipe are essen tial. Unless the pond Is large, one must be shy of trying many varieties, as the stronger soon crowd out the weaker. If the tank with pipes Is not within reach, a beautiful effect may be obtained by sinking a tub or half barrel into the ground and placing one or two plants in i t The soil should be very rich and filled in to a depth of two-thirds. An ideal soil is made by composting barnyard manure with rich sods of a loamy nature, using in the proportion of one and two-thirds, respectively. Sprinkle a little sand over the top and fill the tank with water. With a sunny exposure during a part of the day, the plants will grow and bloom nicely. Unless one Is willing to pipe the water, it must be supplied aa needed, by filling from pails. As the plants need very little other care, this can well be afforded. ABOUT EDIBLE FLOWERS Rose leaf preserve Is made in Turkey, and carnations, lavender, syrlnga are crystallized for confections. The violet is recognized as an edible titbit almost everywhere it grows. In many parts of Europe it Is the custom to*make use of roses, violets and lime blossoms (or flavoring. A delicious orange flower candy or conserve is made of tiny bitter embryo oranges picked from the blossom's center. Sandwiches are made with nasturtiums as a filling. Nasturtiums are probably the moat-used edible flower. Its young leaves, seed pods and stems with or without the flowers form an appetizing salad and add flavor to sauces, gravies, meat dishes and sal* ads made of potatoes and herns. In England finely chopped spearmint is used in sandwiches spread with thin cheese. Another food flower is cauliflower. This Is truly a flower that Is eaten, for the snowy flowers are the unexpandad flowers of a variety of cabbage. The Mexicans and French eat the tuber of the dahlia. It is somewhat acrid and was introduced into Europe for the commercial purpose of sapplanting or supplementing the potato. The dandelion makes a wine, while the young, tender leaves make the finest kind of greens and are also delightful in salad Elderberry blossoms make a white wine, the berry makes a blue wine, while the elderblow tea was a favorite remedy of our grandmothers. is The Houseman's Aversion. "How did you know that man married r asked one woman. "Because," replied tho other, "as soon as he ^ame into the room be shied at the rubber tree." Washington—The proposals of the national guard association for federalization of the state troops were before the military committees of congress in the form of a bill drafted by representatives of the association at the request of the senate committee. The regulations contemplated are given^ force by a provision limiting participation in the federal pay feature to officers, men or organisations complying with certain specified requirements. The scale of annual pay proposed is as follows: Major-generals, $800; brigadiers, $700; colonels, 9600; lieutenant-colonels, $550; majors, 1525; captains, )500; first lieutenants, $30.0; second lieutenants, $250. Enlisted men would be paid on the basis of 25 per cent of the pay rates of the regular army, a private receiving "approximately $45 a .year. The mtximum number of troops provided for by the bill is 500 for each congressional district, or a total peace strength of approximately 200,000, an increase of 70,000 over the preaent strength of the national guard. They would form a separate branch of the regular army in time of war when called Into the federal service. The act would take effect July 1, 1916. The bill provides also for organisation of a junior guard, composed of boys between 12 and 18 available for active service only after every other class of militia had been called out. The juniors would be divided into two classes, cadets, or those of 15 and above, and cadets of the second class, those less than 15. An enlistment contract would be required under which the soldier would bind himself to serve the federal government "within or without the continental limits of the United States" for a period of two years or until discharged should the guard be called out at any time during his three year enlistment period. The entlistment period of any soldier whose time was close to expiration when his regiment was called out would b* extended automatically. It is proposed to do away with choice of officers by election, and commissions would be limited to specified classes and granted only after examinations by the war department Promotions during active service weuld be made by the president from the commissioned force or ranks of the organization, dependent upon the grade to be filled. This clause is aimed at appointments from civil life. Members of both the senate and house committee who had looked over ihe measure said it'would require radical amendment, in their opinion, before it would be acceptable to congress. It will be discussed, section by section, by the house committee which probably will frame the national guard measure to be enacted by both houses while the' senate committee works out the regular army feature of preparedness plans. MAJOR J. E. NORMOYLE. Oswego, N. Y.—Major James E. Normoyle. Third United States infantry, who was in command of Fort Ontario, died suddenly of blood poinoning. Major Normoyle was born in Michigan in 1866 and lived In Detroit several years. He served in Porto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines. In 1913 he was given a gold medal by Pennsylvania in recognition of his services aa quarter master of the Civil War Veterans' c a m p at Gettysburg. Major Normoyle was known throughout the army and the country as the man the war department invariably called upon when the government was confronted with bringing order out of chaos in domestic situations of distress and disaster.

Y.—Local newspaper offices were advised that every edition of every American paper would first be rigidly examined by officers of the Canadian militia, acting on orders of the Dominion war department, and circulation stopped In every instance where stories were carried "detrimental to the welfare of Canada." Newspaper men who were assigned to investigate new movements of troops along the frontier were turned back at t h e bridge. ITEMS OF STATE INTEREST Lansing.—John Russell, Detroit, attorney representing the Michigan State Telephone Co., filed with the railroad commission last week a brief asking relief from the assessed valuation of its Michigan properties in the sum of $1,500,000. Last year the company was assessed by the commission at $17,000,000 on its Michigan proper ties, this year $18,500,000. The total additions made by the company, according to its sworn state meat, totaled $438,189 in 1915, and the brief recites the fact that depreciation for the same period written off the property of the company amounted to $458,55«. Attention is called to the fact that the company was forced in 1914 to withdraw $300,000 from its surplus to meet Interest obligations and pay a 6 per cent dividend to its stockholders and that even then following such appropriation there was a shortage ef $69,500. This led to suspension of dividends en its common stock after September. 1914, so that in 1915 the holders of $6,000,000 of the issues of the company received but 1 1-2 per cent income on their investment This Company paid out $272,000 of losaer in the year 1913. It has paid during the past five years 9,539 losses and a total of $435,358 to people who have had their buildings wrecked in the State of Michigan. The Company has about 40,000 members, and $86,000,000 of assessable capitaL The Company has made only six assessments in nineteen years; thirteen out of the nineteen not a single dollar collected by assessment from any member of this- Company. No assessment was made in the year 1915, and yet the Company had on hand January 1st, 1916, about $80,000 izt cash. There are about one hundred mutual companies in Michigan covering fire insurance; they save the farmers of Michigan about $1,000,000 over the cost in stock companies each year. The saving in> cyclone insurance is much greater. Because of our large membership with only one overhead expense, mutual insurance against cyclone, in our Company, on account of the low cost and efficient service,, has appealed to the farmers and business: men of every section of the State. The many cyclones and tornadoes whichhave ruined people in nearly every part of the State should be a warning to you. Insure your property whether it be in the city er country, in a safe Company.

CHAPTER 1 The Heptaderm It wee not characteristic of Broufllard— the Broulllard Grislow knew beat—that he should suffer the purely technical talk of dams and reservoirs, bed-rock anchorages, and the lateat word In concrete structural processes to languish and should drift Into personal reminiscences over their first evening campflre in the Niquola. "Aa you were saying?" Grislow^ prompted,- stretching himself luxuri' ously upon the fragrant hanking of freshly clipped spruce tips, with his feet to the blase and his hands locked under his head. He felt that Brouil lard was merely responding to the aubtle influences of time, place and encompasamehte And took no shame for being an analytical rather than a sympathetic listener. The hundred-odd men of the pioneer party, relaxing after the daylong march over the mountains, were smoking, yarning, or playing cards around the dosen or more campflres. The evening, with a half-grown moon silvering the Inverted bowl of a firmament which seemed to shut down, lidlike, upon the mountain rim of the high-walled valley, waa wltchtngly enchanting. "I waa aaylng that the present-day at sanely skeptical—aa it arrouillard went on at the fepughtful pause. "Just the man has his little atavistic streak, tf you can hit upon It For example, away back in the porringer period, In which we are all like the pin-feathered dickybirds, open-mouthed for anything anybody may drop into us someone fed me with the number seycnT'" ^. "Succulent morsel!" chuckled Grta low. "Did it agree with your* Broulllard sat back from the fire and clasped his hands over his bent knees. He was of a type rare enough to be noteworthy—a well-knit figure of a man, rather under the normal stature, but bulging athletically in the loose-fitting khaki of the engineer; dark of akin, and owning a face which might have served aa a model for a yierge etudy of a fighting frsnc-tlreur. "I dont remember how early In the game the thing began," he resumed, ignoring Grislow's Joking Interruption, •*iejt away back in the dimmest dawn* hugs the number seven began to nave • curious significance for me. Back in the pin-feather time somebody handed me a fact about the waste and replacement thai* goes on in the human organism, bringing around a complete cellular change about once in every seven years.

"Tea; and since that time you have staved your way through the university, and butted into the reclamation service, and played skittles with every other man's chances of promotion until you have come out at the top of the heap In the construction division, all of which you're much too modest to brag about. But, say; we've skipped one of the seven-year flag stations. What happened when ybn were twenty-one—or were you too busy lust then chasing the elusive engineering degree to take noticeT" Broulllard was staring out oyer the loom of the dozen campflres—out and across the valley at the massive bulk of Mount Chlgringo rising like a huge barrier dark to the skyline save for a single pinprick of yellow light fixing the position of a solitary miner's cabin half way between the valley level and the summit When he spoke again the hydrographer had been given time to shave another pipe charge of tobacco from his pocket plug and to fill and light the brier. "When I was twenty-one my father died, and"*-he stopped short and then went on in a tone which waa more than half apologetic—"I don't mind telling, Orislow; you're not the kind to pass it on where it would hurt At twenty-one I was left with a back load that I am carrying to this good day; that I will probably go on carrying through life." Grislow walked around the fire, kicked two or three of the charred log ends into the blase, and growled when the resulting smoke rose up to choke and blind him. "Forget it Victor/' he said. "In less than a hundredth part of that time youll be at the top of the reclamation service pay roll—wont that help^utr "No; not appreciably." Grislow gave It up at that and went back to the original contention. "We're dodging the main issue," he said. "What la the active principle of your 'sevens'—or haven't you figured it outr "Change," was the prompt rejoinder; "always something different— radically different" "And what started you off into the memory woods, particularly tonight?" "Coincidences. It began with that hopelessly unreliable little clock that Anson persists In carrying around with him wherever he goes. While you Broulllard Was Staring Out Over the Loom of the Camp Fires. were op on the hill cutting your spruce tips Anson wont over to bis lent and lighted up, and a few minutes afterward I heard the clock strike seven. Just aa I was oomfortabty forgetting the slamlncamt reminder {he clock went off agate, striking stowiy. as If the mechanism were nearly i r onerfed Grislow. -No; It struck tour." "WeQ^ was the bantering Us littls tin sjod-of a timepiece. R*s a habit of Ws.- 1 -was curious enough to go and look. When 1 lifted the flap the test The dock wss ticking "Don't you? It was only another ot the coincidences, of course. While 1 stood staring at the clock Anson came in with Griffith's tool kit 'I've got to tinker her again,' he said. She's got so she keeps Pacific time with one band and eastern with the other.' Then I understood that he had been tinkering with It and bad merely gone over to Griffith's tent for the tools." "Well," said Grislow again, "what of it? The clock struck seven, you say; but it also struck four." Broulllard'a smile tilted his curling mustaches to the sardonic angle, "The combination was what called the turn, Grissy. Today happens to be my twenty-eighth birthday—the end of the fourth cycle of seven." "By George!" ejaculated the hydrographer in mock perturbation, sitting up so suddenly that he dropped his pipe into the ashes of the fire, "In that case, according to what seems to be the well-established custom, something is due to fall in right now!" "I have been looking for it all day," returned Broulllard calmly. It was Murray Grislow who finally rang the curtain call on the prolonged talk, "Say, man! do you know that ft is after ten o'clock?" he demanded, holding the face of his watch down to the glow of the dying embers. "You may sit here all night if you like, but it's me for the blankets. Now, what In the name of a guilty conscience la that?" As it chanced, they were both facing toward the lower end of the valley when the apparition flashed into view. In the deepest of the shadows at the mouth of the gorge, where the torrenting Niquola straightened Itself momentarily before entering upon its plunging race through the mountain barrier a beam of white light flickered unsteadily for a fraction of a second. Then It became a luminous pencil to trace a slgxag line up the winding course of the river, serosa to the foothill spur where the camp of the reclamation service vanguard waa pitched, and so on around to the base of the Chlgringo. For certain other secoods It remained quiescent glowing bale- ' fully like the eye of some fabled monster searching for Its prey. Then it was gone. Grislow's comment took the form of a half-startled exclamation. "By Jove! wouldn't that give you a fit of the creeples?—this far from civilisation and a dynamo? What are you calling it?" "Your guess is as good as mine," was the half-absent reply. Broulllard had got upon his feet and was buttoning his .many-pocketed shooting coat "I'm going to take a little hike down yonder for investigation purposes. Want to come along r But the mapper of watersheds was yawning sleepily. "Not on your tintype," he refused. Tm going to 'cork it orf In me 'ammick,'" It was only a abort mile from the camp on the Inward slopes of the eastern foothills to the month of the outlet gorge, across which Broulllard could already see, in mental prevision, the great gray wail ot the projected Niquola dam—his future work—curving majestically from the broken shoulder of Chlgringo to the opposing steeps ot Jack's mountain. The half-grown jnoon, tilting now toward the skyline of the western barrier, was leaving the canyon portal in deepest gloom. Picking his way Judiciously because the trail was new to him. Broulllard came In due time to the descending path among the spruces and scrub pines leading to the westenfootlcok upon the desert swales and sandhills. At the canyon portal, whore the forest thinned away and left him standing at the head ot the final descending plunge In the trail, he found himself looking down upon the explanation of the curious apparition. None the less, what he saw was to ttsetf rather inexplicable. Is the first desert looping of the river a campflre of pinyon knots was bhutng cheerfully, and beside It with a picnic hamper for a table, sat s supper party <l threetwo men sad a woman—in enveloping dust-coats, and a third man In ohanffeur leather serving the sfttors. Back of the group* uud with its detachable searchlight ntfastag, stool a huge touring car to account for the picnic has* par, the dust-costs, the mas hi leather, and, doubtless, tor thwapparitfoaal eye which had appeared sad dluappaurei at tho moot* of the) upper suras It soimuhtd hi for tho presssca of the peoalch ers, though the) whim which them to cross the desolate Bucks** tor tho 4 » ing an all-night bivouac on Its eastern edge was not so readily apparent The young engineer saw no reason why he should intrude upon the group at the cheerful campfire. On the coo trary, he began speedily to find good and sufficient reasons why he should not That the real restraining motive was a sudden attack of desert shyness he would not have admitted But the fact remained. Four years In the reclamation service had made the good looking young chief of construction a man-queller of quality. But each year of Isolation had done something toward weakening the social ties A loosened pebble turned the scale. When a bit of the coarse-grained sand stone of the trail rolled under Broulllard 's foot and went clattering down to plunge Into the stream the man in the chauffeur leather reached for the searchlight lantern and directed Its i>eam upon the canyon portaL But by that time Broulllard had sought the shelter of the scrub pines and was retracing his steps up the shoulder of the mountain. Broulllard was not what the West calls "Jumpy." Four years of field work, government or other, count for something; and the man who has proved powder-shy In any stage of his grapple with the Land of Short Notice is customarily a dead man. In Bpite of his training, however, the young chief of construction, making an early morning exploration ot the site for the new dam. winced handsomely when the shock of a distance-muffled explosion trembled upon the crisp morning air, coming, as it seemed, from some point near the lower end of the canyon. The detonating crash reminded blm forcibly that the presence of the touring party was asserting itself. The explosion was too heavy to figure as a gunshot. Therefore it must have been an accident of some sort—possibly the blowing up of the automobile. Between this and a hurried weighting of the sheaf of blueprints with his fleldglass preparatory to a first-aid dash down the outlet gorge, there was no appreciable interval But when he came to his outlook halting place of the night before, he saw that there had been no accident The big touring car. yellow with the dust of the Buckskin, stood Intact on the sand fiat Where it had been backed and turned and headed toward the desert Wading in the shallows of the river with a linen dust robe for a seine, the two younger men of the party were gathering the choicest of the dead mountain trout with which the eddy was thickly dotted. Coming toward him on the upward trail, and climbing laboriously to gain the easier path among the pines, were the two remaining members of the party—an elderly, pudgy, stockUy built man with a gray face, stiff gray mustaches and sandy-gray eyea to match, and the young woman, booted, gauntleted, veiled, and bulked Into shapelessness by her touring coat Broulllard had a sudden rush of blood to the anger cells when he realised that the alarm which had brought him two hard-breathing miles out ot his way had been the discharge ot a stick of dynamite thrown into the Niquola tor the fish-killing purpose. In his cods the dynamiting ot a stream figured as a high crime. But the two on the traH had come up. and bis protest wss forestalled by the elderly man with the gray face and the sandy-gray eyes, whose explosive "Hal** waa as much a measure of his breathlessnesa as of his surprise.

The Liquor Dealers circulate fnl-e statements iu regard to prohibition in Kansas- The state regi «strar, W. J. Deacon showed that the death rate in Kansas was ouly y.8 to 1.000. When asked the reason T?hy, this was among the a reasons given. "Kansas is a prohibi tion Mate and has been for a generation, and in Kansas, prohibition really prohibits. I do not mean by this there is no alcohol consumed in the state, but the absence of the giloou means much to our growing boy8 and young men, who, in the absenos of any bar room, find more healthful pastimes than loafing in an alcohol ladened atmospere. "Another and more important fact concerning prohibition it that tbe wage of the laborer or mechanic is not dissipated, hot goes to supply those necessities of food, clothing and boosing moat essential to the well being of their families and themselves," M. E. S. and ove" in the air. Another thing that will seem peculiar | to most people is the action of gravity J on a bullet If a gun bo fired exactly \ horizontally the bullet will have to be i pulled down by gravity exactly sixteen » feet during the first second. So if there ] were no sights on a gun and it was levele by means of a hand level and fired the bullet would hit something exactly sixteen feet below the gun at a distance away equal to the velocity of the bullet t>er second. \ No matter what the bullet's velocity, j gravity will pull it down sixteen feet during the first second* or If the bullet be tired upward gravity will take from its upward velocity thirty-two feet during the first second. The bullet itself kt.. its uxis alwsys in tho direction ihe axis bad when the bullet Issued from the gun. This is the well known gyroscopic principle made use of in the gyroscopic compass and the monorail car—that a rotating body will maintain its axis of rotation in the same direction unless a moment of force be applied to i t But what actually happens with (he modern high powered rifle? Docs It shoot a bullet that goes in sideways? To n slight extent it may be stated that the modern anny bullet docs do that very thing:.' Its velocity, however, is so enormous that the gun barrel docs not have to bo elevated through so large nn angle, and consequently the bullet enters fairly on its noso, though not squarely so, at all ordinary ranges. The same may be said of the bigger guns. They have rifling in them and so give rotation and gyroscopic net Ion I to tho projectiles.

As the mortar is too short ! barreled to bo rifled the top of the $ro, ! jectile would hit a target a long distance away, but for a shot almost j straight up in the air to fall right down ! of course the bottom of the projectile | would strike first. The mortar projec- J tiles are generally round, so that it will ! not matter how they strike. | The reason a bullet cannot be made 1 so that it will always enter a target squarely on its nose is that for every rango a fltfferently shaired bullet would have to be manufactured; also the bullet should be symmetrical, so that the air will exert -no disturbing influence on its distorted parts. A bullet has a distinct curve like that j of a baseball, due to its rotntlon, and ' this curve is independent of the parab-' ola given by gravity. The smoother i and more polished a bullet is the less • is this curve. But the action of the ] rifling in a gun barrel puts little j grooves in the bullet as it goes through j the barrel. These catch the air as the bullet rotates and causes the curve spoken of. If the bullet be rotated in the direction of the hands of a clock the curve will make the bullet go to the left of the exact point aimed a t The effect is so small, however, that it does not have to be taken Into account in the manufacture of rifles and ammunition. —Xew York American. **»gTW7 Vs«r Is a TitnA. •for Sale Every where" M e r Picile CoBtrato Contracts for growing encmnber pickle for the season of 1916 may now be had from o o r repre* SHQtative N .

Under the date of December 9, we noticed that you carried the story concerning the option that we were securing on 1000 acres of farm land lying west of Pinckney, and now that the deal has been

Detroit, Michigan, and who re sides in Bloomfteld Highlands just south of the city of Pontiac Col Guorge is now journeying in South America and will be there three or four months on a vacation The

secured for about one tenth of the cost of the Chelsea gymnasium and would be suitable This is the Pinck ney Opera House, which has seldom been used as such of late years and is for sale Of course it would have to be fitted up vnich would cost a little as the walls are plastered which are not suitable for a gymnasium and a few other changes made, the cost oi which would be small The Pinckney

two greet American group ere to be accepted v 0 Country people, who for e long time were ooniidered e timnle and reUgiom lot of folk hare slumped in their religious statu SHghtyeight per cent of the members of the Episcopal church are in the urban group of the American population, while only 17 per cent are found in the country o rural group Out of more than 56,000,000 persons living in rural America, leaf than 9,000,000 axe memhera of any religious body The oldfashioned idea that the country folk are simple and religious people, and that they more than make up for the lack of religion in the Godless cities has held sway for many years We hare not realised how rural life today has changed Improved roads, advanced methods of farming, automobiles and more recently the radio have forced such institutions as the rural school to change to meet these conditions while the rural church stiH tries to function along the old lines and follow ancientand outofdate methods, Still we wonder why we have failed to reach the country people The difficulty has been that we have not known the facts We have not known that the country people of America constitute one of the great neglected missionary opportunities before us, where more than 4,000,000 children are growing up without religious training where the efforts of religious bodies in many localities are often dissipated in useless competition while whole areas in other sections go without even the opportunity for Christian services By ELMO SCOTT WATSON HAT will the flnul verdict of history on loorge Washington be Man or Superman If we lire to believe the early day hjonru pliers of the Father of His lountry it will he Superman, a paragon of all the virtues, who WHS not only first in war, first In peace and first in the hearts of his coun trymen hut first in faultless living Such Is the model which Parson Weeins, who Invented the cherry tree story, established, find It has been industriously copied by many later biog raphers, especially those who write our school histories If we are to believe a later generation of historians, it will be Man, a man of his times with the habits of a man of his times, Including its faults as well as its virtuesin short, George Washington, the human being For more than a century George Washington hns bnffled the historians In their effort to present the real Washington Forty years ago one of thtm, Prof John Bach McMaster, pointed out the difficulties which confront the biographer of Washington when he said General Washington Is known to ua, and President Washington But George Washington Is an unknown man When at last he is set before as as he lived we shall read less of the cherry tree and more of the man Naught surely that Is heroic will be omitted, but side by side with what Is heolc will appear much that Is commonplace We shall behold the great commander repairing defeat with marvelous celerity, healing the dissensions of his officers and calming the passions of his mutinous troops But we shall also hear his oaths and see him in the terrible outbursts of passion to which Mr Jeffer son has alluded and one of which Mr Lear has described We shall see him refusing to be paid for his services by congress, yet expecting from the family of the poor mason the shilling that was due We shall know of him JS rhe coW and forbidding character with whom no fellowman ever ventured to live on close and familiar terms We shall respect and honor him for being not the greatest of generals, not the most Miintiy of his race, but a man with many human frailties and much common sense, who rose In the fullness of time to be the political deliverer of our country Those words, written nearly half a century ago, Ions before any effort had been made to dispel the myttu which had grown up around Washington, are straigely prophetic of the events of the past year which have brought up again the question of the real Washington and focused public attention upon it more sharply than It has ever been focused before Outstanding among those events was the criticism which met the attempt by one of Americas bestknown novel ists to write the sort of Washington biography of which McMaster speuks The novelist was Rupert Hughes and ills biography was George Washing ton, the Human Being and the Hero, published by William Morrow Company nf New York In fact, looking back upon the year Just past It is curious to note how many times the two names Rupert Hughes and George Washington have appeared in the news dispatches together It began in January when Hughes made a speech at a banquet of the Sons of the American Revolution In Washington, D C In which he was described as having pictured Washington as a profane, Irreligious and pleasureloving man Although It was afterword learned that he had been misquoted, the mischief was done as soon as the story went out Immediately he was attacked and defended all over th world Sermons were delivered on his speech, his name was heard In congress nnd put In the Congressional Record, senators denounced him and he received clippings of newspaper comment on his speech In almost every language French German, Dutch, Spanish and Italian Interest In the controversy was revived In September when the Hughes book appeared Even though It did not arouse such a storm as did his speech, It, too, was met with divided opinion, both censure and praise Reviewersfor the most part historians themselveswere far from unanimous in their wrdlcta Where one praised the biographer for his painstaking care In

movies A Harvard professor, Albert Bushnell Hart, announced that he had found 297 errors of fact In the hook Anottier reviewer declared , that Mr Hughes walks on all the eggs without breaking a single one, Even the most rabid biographical fun damentalist will find little to com plain about In this book So there you are The case of Rupert Hughes, the biographer, Is proof anew of the statement made by on writer that George Washington Is an elusive person, for although for forty years, from early manhood until the time of his death, he was Increasingly In the public eye, the real man, high on his pedestal of official and personal reserve, has been hard lo come at A part of this Is no doubt due to the early biographers, such as Parson Weems, who began building up the myths about him, and the In creasing years only served to give them an increasing firmness of fixity in the popular mind Hughes has well expressed It when he wrote, No other man In history has suffered so much from malfeasance in office by historians, Nearly all of Washingtons biographers have felt It their duty not only to correct his writings, but to bluepencil, prettify and falsify his character In theifrantic zeal for denaturing this big, blundering, bewildered giant they have done a further Injustice to all his contemporaries, of whom they have made either dwarfs or acolytes, and of his sincere adversaries demons of malice and envy It is poor patriotism, ridiculous Idolatry and rank dishonesty to rob the host of other strugglers for liberty and progres of their just deserts and to perpetuate old slanders against his enemies at home nnd abroad In order to turn Washington Into a god As a god Washington was a woeful figure as a man he was tremendous No wonder then that the real Washington is yet to be delineated One type of mind would make him a Superman another H Man But the final verdict of history probably will decide that he was a bit of both an4 the picture which It will draw of hlra will be somewhere In between the two extremes Labors great progress during the laat year foretells the gains to be made in 1927 Wages were increased, the fiveday week was established in many occupations, collective bargaining became recognized by thousands who had previously opposed that meritorious principle, recognition of the rights of labor resulted in increased efficiency and low wages were admitted to be an evil and not a benefit to our country Furthermore, the spirit of organization grew enormously in strength and promises great returns for 1927 Most wonderful strides were made in bringing about harmonious relations between management and organized employees in many industries, out of which came improvements in manufacturing processes and in conditions of employment Adequate wages increased the consuming power of the great mass of wageearners and this brought most substantial returns to the business world The amazing sums spent during the Christmas holidays were the result of the wages enjoyed by the workers From one end of the country to the other the sentiment is eipressed that the successful efforts of the American labor movement for higher economic standards

the misunderstanding in Europe with regard to your nation is to me a matter of deep regret Europe forgets that American money and materials kept thewar going until victory was in sight Europe forgets, too, the decisive effect of Americas intervention She thinks only that America, enriched at the expense of her allies, glutted with the worlds gold, is bent on holding every country to ransom America,

in the hands of the few is a matter of great significance from a political stand point These who possess the wealth of a nation are, oftentimes its real rulers The fact is generally recognized that the country in which most of the wealth ie in the hands of the few, while the great majority of the people are propertyless, is one in which it is easy to incite the inhabitants to revolution, for under such circumstances ths masses feel that they have little to lose through any political upheaval that may occur On the otkr hand, in the nation in which the greatest majority of the inhabitants

Written reports from 160 of these farmerdemonstrators have been filed with Professor Robbins These reports cover 38 different counties of the state They confirm the fine show ing made a year ago by the simple sanitation system In practical farm practice More pigs raised by each sow, fewer runts, cheaper gains and quicker market weights are some of the main benefits which the farmers who used the system obtained again this year The reports show that some of the men skipped one or two of the four factors of cleanliness which constitute the system, but altogether their work was 86 per cent complete in these details The average time required for one man to clean and scrub the farrowing quarters for one sow was 45 minutes The average time to wash a sow was 20 minutes On 56 per cent of the farms the clean pasture had not been used for hogs within the last two years The average area of pas ture allowed for one sow and her litter was ninetenths of an acre On 18 per cent of the farms the pigs drank running water from a creek, ditch, or tile ontiet These farmers got the best results They had only 1 runt pig among each 111 pigs raised Where pigs drank from troughs there were twice as many runts On all the 160 farms the average was one runt among each 71 sanitation pigs The men raised 04 per cent of the pigs saved at birth The lit ters raised averaged 15 pigs more than when pigs were raised the old style wormy way, they averaged 24 pounds heavier at four months old and were ready for marked when six weeks younger than usual Altogether 00 per cent of those who reported said that the sanitation system is more profitable than the old way and that they will continue to use it The system calls for clean sows at farrowing time, clean farrowing pens, and clean pastures to which the sows and pigs should be hauled, not driven, and the pigs kept there until they are at least four months old Mature Sows Superior to Gilts for Raising Pigs With approximate information that the hog cycle revolves in from thirty to thirtysix months, many fanners have concluded that It is more profitable to raise one litter of pigs from gilts, then fatten the sows These young sows generally classify as light packers and bring from two to three cents more per pound than the heavier pucker sown Will the gilts raise as many pigs as the sows Careful experiments at Purdue university show that twoyearold sows raise more pigs than gilts The experimenters also found that If the sows are kept too lung, their productivity rapidly diminishes, Most farmers who keep aged sows keep them a year too long, said C M Ves tal, commenting on the fact that the sows are sold a year too late rather than at the proper time Doris Duke left photographed here with her mother, Mrs James B Duke of New

WITHOUT BEARDS SJays Greeks Mistook Sex of An lent Wsrriore en Account of Their Shaven Faces, PhiladelphiaThe centuriesold legend about the Arnasons, a nation of female warriors who carried fire and word to ancient Greece, Asia Minor, Arabia, Syria and Egypt was declared a myth by Dr J L Myres, secretary of the British Association for the Ad vancement of Science, at the meetings of the American association The masons, according to Doctor lines were not women at all but men wjio Sad shaved and consequently looked like women to the bearded greats, who first gave them a place IB history Professor Myres declares careful study of recent archeoloajcal evidence dears op the mystryr of the Amesons ghat shaven appearance, he adds, llhar lad their lata to betieve than women, or they were called women in contempt for the effeminacy of their appearance Archeologists, said Doctor Myres, have found representations of beardless men In the Hittite monuments on s plateau near the headwaters of the Sagarins river, the modern Sakarfa, In Asia Minor By deciphering the Hittite language it has been learned that these men actually participated In the wars against the Greeks when the Amazon legend originated At about 1250 B C the fashion for beardless men among the Hittltes suddenly ended, the monumenti show Doctor Myres believes the Hittltes decided a succession of defeats by bearded warriors of other nations was doe to the fact that their faces were shaven and they decided to let their whiskers grow Moscow baa a museum of toys 004MHKOOOIHWKK0HHHH Swindled by Message From Dead Husband TurinA single egg containing a supposed message from the other world, was the device used to swindle Franceses Pellssero, widow, of 11,000 lire, her entire wealth The widow was approached by a man and a woman who told her that they were bearers of a message from her dead hus band They broke an egg, from which they extracted a piece of paper signed with her husbands name The husband communicated that she was to do explicitly as his representa tives, the bearers of the roessate, instructed her The rest was easy The couple asked for a loan of all the money she possessed, in or der, they said, to release her husband of obligations incurred in the other world Feed Grain to Larnbs to Prevent Any Setback Grain should he kept before lambs, and while the quantity of grain may j be relatively small, It serves a much needed place in balancing the ration I and preventing a setback In the j growth of the lamb The man who j has a small Mock of muttonbred sheep Should have his wether lambs large enough and In condition to go to market during the summer months when comparatively few lambs are coming and the high price Is generally to be bed These lambs should weigh around 70 to 80 pounds and can be made to reach that weight at three or four months without undue forcing Kine wool lambs will probably reach a weight of 50 to 55 pounds at that time If well grown and are ideal to go Into the feed lots for winter feeding Feeding Young Stock Young stock cannot make normal growth during the winter season on corn stalks, silage, prairie hay and the like Such feeds furnish enough heat to maintain the body temperature, but do not provide the nutrients necessary for building bone and tissue Legume hays such as clover and alfalfa should be furnished in addition to the pootr grade roughages For the best possible growth it is necessary t faa some grain to young stock dufsaf Ike winter Poultry sufftr from colds and associated troubles In winter just as do human beings, but a little care and doctoring will help to ktvp down the heavy annual toll that these diseases exact from poultrymen According to Dr B F Kaupp, head of the poultry department at the North Carolina State college, the birds suffer most from diseases of the respiratory tract In cold weather Common colds result from the birds becoming wet or chilled because of poor housing, quick changes in weather or cracks in the house permitting a draft to blow on the birds One of the signs of this disease is a discharge from the nose Any bird so affected should be immediately removed from the flock, states Doctor Kaupp, because the discharge will contaminate the drinking water and give the disease to the other birds In the case of colds, the nose should be cleared out by syringing with a 10 per cent solution of argyrol or a purple solu tion of permanganate of potash In the case of roup where there is a stinking discharge, pure iodine should be used In the syringe and the bird treated morning and night until cured Weak pullets come from crowding In the summer and they must have proper feed and care in the laying pens Most of them will develop sore head even in a new house These pimp leg should be greased with carbolised grease Sore eyes is another familiar wintertime trouble The eyes need to be swabbed out, states Doctor Kaupp, and a drop of a 10 per cent solution of argyrol or a 1 per cent solution of sulphate of zinc placed in the eye twice each day Canker or diphtherltis is a winter disease which attacks the mouth It forms a spot where the sore is cov ered with a cheesy material Scrape this off, states Doctor Kaupp, and use on It a canker pencil, pure iodine or powdered chlirate of potash Repeat once each day until the sOre has been cured Kff G006BS OfiT OF DANCER ZONP

The results of laying tests at the Massachusetts experiment station show that earlyhatched chicks of the heavier breeds make the best winter layers Khode Island Red pullets which were hatched In March gave a white egg production of 4iI,6V eggs Aprilhatched pullets gave a winter production of 3540 eggs and May pullets gave a production of 22,50 eggs Tiie profit In producing eggs comes largely from producing them ut a season of the year when they are highest In price This means that we must plan to produce eggs during the winter months The Massachusetts experiment shows that, with the generalpurpose breeds, the earlyhatched chicks are the ones which mature in time to start laying In the latter part of October and continue throughout the winter Poultry Hints m i n m ii n i I I i i i

comfortable home for the flock Finn to get chicks out on the ground In the sunlight as soon as possible, or for a short while each day It will soon be the season for gape worms, and all yards not sown to green feed should be spaded or plowed up If the worms are thick, scatter lime about the yard before plowing Brood coops for the crop of growing young fowls need strong wooden floors and the openings in front should be closed tight each night to keep down the losses from rats and weasels When the eggs begin to hatch, the hen should be confined and not disturbed until the hatching is complete Hens in the breeding flock should be allowed out of doors in direct sun light during the winter and encouraged to take plenty of exercise The little chicks are not one bit better off where you insist on feeding them before they are 48 hours old In fact, their chances for developing into useful birds are much by such delay Children likt KEMPS BALSAM Jor Coughs As to Effeminacy Ideas of

did not know the secret of his birth, and Dorothy felt honored In keeping it to herself Sanford took her home, laughed at her enthusiasm, and said goodby He never dreamed what plan was In Dorothys head On the next night Dorothy, innocent, went to the cabaret atone Timidly she sat at a table She did not know what to order Before she had answered the waiter, a young man came up to her and invited her to dance The leer on his face struck Dorothy cold with terror Suddenly, with a hound, her friend of the nisht before was at her side, Jet out of here he stormed at the other, who withdrew

story, of the penMn life In the country home, her rich old father, absorbed In money making, her loneliness In New York But you need an escort, said the young man May I be privileged to cail myself your friend I can show you lifethe real life On the next evening he called for her In a taxicab and took her to haif a dozen cabarets Dorothy had an Impression of a whirl of music, dancing, and

of a bank we find upon the side of liabilities an account called Reserve The money invested In this account Is held for purposes of emergency It Is an amount set aside out of the yearly earnings to

and successfully encounter many moral struggles When the opportunity pre sents Itself for one to violate a code of business ethics and the path of least resistance seems very easy, the Issue Is determined wholly upon the power one possesses to say no Should the power of resistance be at a low ebb the moral code Is violated If on the other hand a sufficient amount of strength can be summoned to meet the attack, the answer, nine cases out of ten, will be a refusal to yield This factor which determines ones decision in the realm of moral values Is not Instantaneously created It Is an asset in ones moral world which has been enlarging as the months and years furnished opportunities for storing away moral reserve strength The larger the reserve the more successfully and easily are the moral depressions met and mastered A bank accumulates its reserve account gradually It is created out of earnings A moral reserve may be the growth of years Out of ones dally experience is built up
