He writhed on his bed of pain and sighed bitterly onflndfng how stiff and soro, how weak and almost blind he had become by loss of blood; but a crisis was now at hand with our Cubano. The evening of the fourth day after we had saved Hyslop found the brig stiU lying on a westerly course; but whether in the latitude of Cape San Hoque or of the Rio Grande, we knew not; and. I suppose, it was all the same to Antonio. I was at the wheel. The sunset was gorgeously beautiful. The Eugenie was running with both tacks aft; and under the arched leech of her courses I conld see the blood-red disk bf the sun right ahead settling in the waves, which shone in all the colors of the dying dolphin; while against the flaming orb the black outline of the masts, the figure-head and the taper end of the jibboom, with its cap, guys and gear, were clearly and distinctly defined. The waves ahead roee and fell between me and the sun, as slowly and imperceptibyl he sank at the flaming horizon, from a quarter circle to a segment; then the last vestige of that also disappeared, but the lingering rays 6t hf« glory played upward on the light clouds that floated above. Even they paled away and died out, and twilight stole over the sea, which changed from gold to a traaspareat blue. . . . • - . Witfc the -increasing1 twilight came B ctang* of wind, and before it a great bank «f ciood rolled from the horizon on our starboard bow. Under its shadow th4 sea was darkened and its broken water flecked with white. The new breeze; came first upon our quarter, thea rapidly it wan abeam and three grea& dlbatreaswj were Been t o whip the wa with tkeftftxrtftgg, whfle a whole where "ta#-ablp- we* drtriag or driftour bows, plunging Joyously from wave to wave. Tueks and braces were instantly manned and the sails were trimmed fijew for our desultory course. "riail ho—to windward"! Bald one of the crew> in a low but excited ^voice, lest the sound might reach the cabin; and as the dense bank of purple clouds opened a large bark came out of it, and her form1 became more and more defined as she left the vapor astern. She was going free—that is, with her head further off the wind than closehauled— and had a press of snow-white canvas, which shone in tae last, .light of the west. "She, i$ four mil.es off." a.ajd Carlton. u\Ve must signal her," added Lembourne. "With what?" asked Carlton, in the same Bharp but low voice; "every color is overboard." "Anything wljl do—a blue shirt at the foremast head; quick?—the sky will be quite dark in ten minutes. Run it up in a ball with a slipping loop, man-o'-war fashion," said Lambourne, in a loud whlsp«r; "get reader a ship's lantern some of you, for the night darkens so fast that we shall scarcely be visible when she is abeam of us. Ned, get Into the fore-channel and wave the light as a signal that we want a boat." \ ' These orders were rapidly obeyed and preparations made to throw the brig in the wind. While one man hastily got the lantern from a litthe round house, in which certain stores and tools were kept on deck; Ned Carlton pulled off his shirt, and was in the act of binding it to the signal halyards, when the Spaniard, whose quick ears detected some commotion, sprang on deck, armed as usual. On seeing Carlton busy with the halyards he looked round, caught sight of the ship, which was running with the white foam boiling under her foretoot, i n* Oust in a moment divined what we were about Muttering a terrible imprecation in flfr**-<r*1 he Ire* at CarHoav but missed btaa ftfr-betere, and shot dead a poor apprentice who was eloae by. --tarnat t^MUler, *«• * and 'blood can't bear tfcttff" saosUed Tom Lemhottcaa, whose fnry was soundless, and who aaatejpd'up a capstan-tar.

It went twenty feet Into the air and fell overboard. Quick as lightning Antonio pla/**5. the other in hlg breast, drew his knife, stooped his head, and darting through us like an eel, gave Carlton a gash In the thigh as he passed. He then made for the main rigging, and sprang on the bulwark, no doubt with the intention1 of running up aloft to some secure perch, where he might reload hU remaining pistol, and shoot us all down at leisure; tut he missed his hold of the rattling, and fell overboard! There was a shout of furoius Joy. "The sea will rob the gallows of ite duel" said Carlton; "but he'll ,b«. shark's meat, anyway." But Antonio was not gonci yet, foi in falling he caught one of the lower studding-gail booms, and clutched it with deadly tenacity, for he knew that if once he was fairly launched lntc. the ocean his fate would be sealed. His face was pale with combined feai and fury; his black eyes blazed with the fire of hatred; the perspiration oozed in drops from his temples. Tom Lambourne sprang forward to beat oft his fingers; but at that caoment the boom, a slender spar, broke from its lashings alongside, and swung out at a right angle from the brig, with th« wretch at the extreme end of it, dangling over the waves, like a herring at the point of a -amrod. Again, and again he writhed his body upward In wild struggles to get astride the boom, or to reach it with his knees, but in vain! Instead of exciting pity his terrible situation drew forth a shout of derision, mingled with expressions of hatred and satisfaction, from the line cf avenging faces that surveyed him over the bulwark, fie hung thus for fully five minutes, for Ue was a pov/erful man, o£ great strength, muscle and bulk. . I have no doubt this man1 was AS brave as it 1B possible for a ruffian to be; but the prospect of c.r\ immediate death—a death, too. from which there was no escape—terrified him. His glance of. hate.toward us turaed to one of wild and earnest entreaty, : "Mercy.!—pardon!—in the name and for the love of the Almighty!" he exclaim** in Spanish, in a tone of intense earnestness; but he waB heard by us with fierce derision in that moment of just triumph and too long delayed vengeance. E tee lwrch, and each time the feet and knees of the wretched Cubano were immersed in the waves. Beneath him was the abygs of water that rushed past the side of the brig. He panted rather than breathed, and through the dusk we could see how his aeathg hands turned white as his ^ace, and that the points of his fingers were blood-red. 5Als eyes grew wild and haggard as terror ebilled bis coward heart and. agooixed his soul; md yet through the surge the fleet cxwft flew on! Every moment increased the wei&tit of his body and the weakness of tie hands and wrists. At last it v/as evident that his pevers of endurance could be no longer taxed; he uttered a half-smotbe.<>d shriek, and closed bis eyes as be cluAg to that slender spar, and it swayed *o a.rd' fro while the close-hauled bTtg flew on!

There was a shrill cry of despair, li^c the parting shriek of an evii spirt, or the skirl of the gusty blast, as tfte boom, and the wretch who clung to it in blind desperation, vanished into t\e black trough of the sea, and, like a cork or a reed, were sw*2t amid trie salt foam to leeward.

Over at the dog ahow on the opening night a pretty girl followed by the customary masculine throng that always circulates around a pretty girl •8 a moth whirls around a candle, wandered through the aisles of the First regiment armory and listened to all the noisy canines sing their doleful# songs of woe and wrong. She patted the heads of the ugliest bulldogs and twisted a bunch of violets into the collar of a shaggy S t Bernard. She pulled the tails of the kinkled pugs and tweaked the ears of the jaunty fox-terriers. She righted a collar that had turned awry and even ventured to make friends with the bloodhounds. The dogs were happy and so was the pretty girl. The delight of the escorting masculine throng was not so evident, but they pretended at least that they enjoyed playing second fiddle to a dog rather than not having a chance to take part In her orchestra at all. One great bulldog evidently shared the sentiments of the men. When the pretty girl reached the cage that contained the ferocious looking brute she found it had no water and was barking its dissatisfaction at the turn oi affairs in the most emphatically protesting manner. "The poor dog," exclaimed the girl In crescendo accents of pity, and at odce she remedied the evil by helping her four-footed friend to some water stolen from the neighboring cage. After that act of mercy the dog, like the men, was her abject victim. It put both paws on her shoulders and laid Its head down affectionately, and when the girl attempted to wander away the dog cried so plteoualy thai she returned again and again to comfort it. "Poor thing," exclaimed ont of the surrounding men with a whim* •leal grimace, "poor thing. Who said that a dog hadn't the feelings of a man?" The pretty girl laughed and blushed and rewarded the speaker with the present of a very special smile. Mr. L. J. Danis advertising agent for Baxter's Mandrake Bitters, Henry and Johnsonr* Arnica £ 0\\ Liniment, an.dDowns' Elixir, made this office a pleasant call on his annual round, last week. The territory cared for by Mr. Danis comprised the state of Michigan, and portions of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and he visits every town once a year, making advertising contracts, and looking alter sales. These remedies are standard and well known to our people. It is claimed that Downs' Elixir is the oldest cough medicine made, it having been prominently before the public for nearly three-quarters of a century. Mr. Danis reports largely increased sales over any imprevious year since he has been on the route. This speaks well for Mr. Danis, as for the medicine he represents.

This consists of magazines, newspapers and serial libraries, carried at 1 cent a pound, and copies of papers forwarded free to subscribers in the country. The cost to the government of transporting second-class matter is eight cents a pound; the revenue from it was but eight and a half mills. From two-thirds of the mall matter handled in 1897 the revenue was less than onethirtieth of the cost of the mail service. No stamps appear on secondclass matter. The money for postage is paid to the postmaster, and he giveB a receipt for the amount to the pub- Usher. The use of "newspaper stamps" has been discontinued. There are 9,376 postofflees sending secondclass matter, and for 1898 there were sent 395,000,000 pounds; over 55 per cent of this bulk was sent from six centers—New York.

SHORT CHIMNEY STACKS. The Days of the Tall Ones Are Xnm* beved, It Is Said. . The days of, the tall, smoKa-belchlng factory chimneys are numbered, according to a writer In the Iron Trade Jteview. Instead there are to be short stacks and blowers. For illustration, the experience of a Boston manufacturing firm is related. Changes In the arrangement of the works necessitated the removal of the boiler plant, but it was out of the question to take the chimney along. In Its stead a fan blower was installed on top of the boilers, and provided with a special engine to drive it at just thek*ipeed required. It is automatically regulated so that less than one pound drop- rh steam pressure greatly increases the draft, startt up the fire, and brings the pressure hack lo where it belongs, t h e fan works by suction, draws the n * s t from ih# •oiler flue and forces t b n out through -a short stack exto&ding only IX feet above the boiler-room floor. The draught which may be produced is two or three times strongs? than that of the chimney which has been disparted, and is just as strong in aft kinds of weather, while the « o * V * U said, of the entire mechanioaVtat& sJBt statement, including tin •tack, hat b#ea lejs than one-half of that of a new chimney.

As he sits in front of yon* with his hands resting on the hilt of his sword before him, and you watch him speak to Munlr Pasha in his quiet, dignified way, you cannot resist the impression of his picturesque dignity. On other occasion* his dress is simplicity itself,»careely differing from that of his secretaries and other officials. He wears a black frock coat cut in Turkish fashion, which Just hides a whits waistcoat with a gol4 watch chain.

Bat these selfish motives and considerations are not the compelling power which moves the temperance reform along, nor, for the matter of that, any other reform. Sinners cannot save themselves, and it is about as true of suffers. The hope of the temperance reform is the capacity of selfsacrifice, for unselfish to others among the people. The appeal for temperance workers let it be said, once for all, is not to any man's or woman's selfishness, but to their conscience, their devotion to others, their spirit of self-sacrifice. This is the stamp of women whom we want and whom we get as W C TU workers. And because such unselfishness is preeminently a characteristic of a genuine Christainity, we have the right to the second world in the name by which our organization called. Every one who proves it by devoted personal experience knows how faithful the promise, "He that losest his life for My Bake, shall find it." Many a poor woman who thanks God in secret, through scalding tears, that there is t W O T U, never joinB it because it would so empheize her already crushing sorrow over the. drinking habits of husband, father or son, and to her overwrought feelings it would seem to advertise and publish the shame of it Many times the drinking husband' or father will not permit her to join anything of a temperance nature, and peace from ' persecution greater than ever can only be had by pretending indifference. Oftentimes the watching, the anxiety, the terror of the woman, whose home is also the home of an often, It is well known, that the nervous are directly effected by cigarette smoking—doabtless more so than by the ordinary cigar or super-fragrant pipe. But it may not be generally understood that nerves of the teeth are actually killed by this indulgence. It ap- (fears from the testimony of a Brooklyn dentist that this the case. The act to injury done by the peace and drunken man, leave no margin of thought or service that can,be given to the cause which her heart blesses in its anguish. And for very many of those who "ought to be interested" because drink has shadowed their lives, there is the hard struggle for a. lining, the finding of the home supplies because drink has sapped the earnings and the earning power of the husband and father. Woman would expect .to. be, branded AS something worse than heathen if they should fold their arms when a neighbor's house was being fired by an incendairy and say,"If that were my house, I should be interested, jn trying to stop such conflagrations." And it is especially the duty, the call, ofiUhoae who fcearte have never been broken, whose lives have not borne the curse of drink, to be first and most helpful in fighting down the rum traffic. Simple gratitude ought to inspire such to action. A little enthusiasm for humanity, a little of the Christ-love in our souls, a little patriotic desire to save our country from the tide of ruin, a little compassion for everybodys' the beer order of rual neighborhoods, not to mention domestic happiness, industry and economy, has been proved by witnesses from every class of so* ciety to have exceeded the evils of any single act of internal administration passed within the memory of man.—London Globe. An Indiana grocer has printed the following in a circular (of course in sarcasm), addressed to his patrons: "Notice is hereby given that if you will come to my store three times a day during the next year, and purchas a drind of whisky each time, paying 10 cents a drink, at tbe end of the year I will donate five barrels of my beat flour, 100 pounds of fine granulated sugar, 100 pounds of rice, 10 pounds of coffee, 10 gal of syrup, 50 yards of calico, three pairs of shoes, one $10.20 cloak for your wife; and then I will have 120 left to pay for the liquor you drank.

The sexton must pay his wholesaler promptly, and unless he has a comfortable bank account he is likely to get stranded."

The Heppner,' Oregon, Gazette tells, a story .of. a dog's double devotion* which will- t«nd to increase the regard of ^*tt/lovers >of dogs for those faithful creature3. Mr. James Kinney, the chief shepherd of the itacks of Mr. Thomas Quade, had occasion lately to change camp from the mountain-range to his feeding grounds. The distance was three miles. One of the collies had at the range a Utter of five puppies, seventeen days old, which, as she was needed in the drive, she had £o leave behind. The first night, a3 soon as the sheep were folded at the feeding ground and her responsibilities over, she went straight back through a driving snowstorm to her young and spent the night with them. Next morn^ Ing, however, true to her master, ah* was at the corral bright and early for her duties, floe remained ail day. guarding and herding the sheep, and at nightfall started bwlt to her babies. This continued lor eleven day*. On the morning of the twelfth day thd dog was late at the corral, and Mr! Klnney felt some uneasiness about hex. After a time «be appeared* bring&S one of her pups, rhich had now grown to considerable size, in her mouth. She had struggled all the three miles with it, over a rough road. It was evidently her intention to bring tbepupa all up to the corral, one at a time, without sacrificing any of her time with the sheep. Somewhat conscience stricken at hi a neglect of the Utter so, far, Mr. Klnney. hitehe* up ft wagon and went to Che range after them. He* secured them all, and gave them and their mother a warm nest close to the hearth in the farmhouse. SAVING BURGLAR SOUVENIRS, Chicago furnishes another unique story.

The Quincy mill paid off mad gra«toed the men a straight 10 percent n i v , which is what the Tamarack and Osaeot* men want, and this makes mtttrtTf worse. On account of the atrike at the wills the Tamarack, Osceola, Kepnarge and Tamarack Junior mines nave *ot produced a ton of copper for a wjeek, and tho loss to the mutts is greater thsn the difference in wages to tae taea for a year to come.

CTATE LEGISLATURE. ^ |uj)r$me c o j k dfcc^ipn, d|t*s the jAtkinpof railroad law, &a well as the law of lftlfr, which provides for the assessment of railroad, telegraph and telephone companies. The provisions in this law are exactly similar to those in the Atkinson bill, providing for the assessment of railroad, telegraph and telephone companies. Tke case under, discussion was that of the Teoumseh Telephone Co. The court declared the tax to be ad valorem and not specific', and that the auditorgeneral had no authority to credit the money collected under the law to the primary school fund. But the contention that the tax can be collected as an ad valorem tax, the court says, can^ not be sustained. It Is nob a specific tax and U not withiu the rule of taxation prescribed for other property; therefore, the law is void. This practically disposed of the Atkinson law, and brings the matter of increasing the taxation of railroads again before the legislature. Two very important bills, introduced by Goodall and Hammond, respectively, are on the calendar and will soon be acted upon by the house. The}' are the anti-trust and stock gambling bills, and both measures, if passed, will be effectual 4n destroying these two elements in commercial life. The anti-trust bill has been framed with the greatest care, after consultation with able attorneys. It carries>a penalty of from 85,000 to $?5,000 as to corporate organizations, and hea*y personal fines. It went down to defeat two years ago, but Mr. Hammond says he is very hopeful of its success at this session. • The senate in executive session confirmed the following appointments of the governor: W.

An emotion of mingled freedom and satisfaction possessed the whole crew on being rid of our tormentor, and Lambourne now took charge of the brig, which he was perfectly able to handle and work, though ignorant of navigation as a science, and having but a vague idea of the course to steer fcr the Cape of Good Hope. She was hove In the wind, while In the moonlight, about two hours after the, exciting scene which closes the last chapter, we committed to the deep the body of Antonio's last victim, the PQor apprentice, whom the saUmaker sewed up in- hia hammock, to which, being without shot or other suitable weights, we tied a sack of coals to sink the corp3e. The head-yards were filled again, nnd, as if anxious to leave that portion of the Bea as far as possible astern, we hauled up for the cape. Tom Lambourne ordered every stitch of canvas that the spars would hold to be spread upon the Eugenie, that she might, as he said, "walk through the water 14 her own style." All be could do at first was to keep her in the course we had been steering or. the night these disasters began, for as yet we knew not to what degree of latitude, south or north, we might havo been drifting; however, we calculated that Hlslop, weak as he was, might be able to take a solar observation anu prick on our place, on the chart, in the course of six or seven We had the usually enug little cabin cleansed and cleared from the debris created by the outrageous proceedings of Antonio, who must have gone to thp bottom with all Weston's valuables and money about hlni^ as yie could find neither; and the sweet expression of the poor widow's face, as it seemed •••.:> smile en us from the miniature <r«\ the af^er-bulkhead, contrasted strangely with all the wild work that had so lately taken place on board. Hlslop and I were restored to uur former berths, and then more than once in my dreams the pale olive-green \isage and glaring eyes of the Cuba no came before me, and again I seemed; to see him cliriging uapitied and in 'desperation to the slender boom which swung above the seething sea — lor his death and all its concomitant horrors haunted me and made me unh£ ppy. The intensity of the heat in that Beason suggested the idea that we could not have drifted far south of the lins. ho great was it that the upper spars of the Eugenie appeared to wriggle or vibrate like serpents aloft in the sunshine; while so hot, so clear and so rarefied was the atmosphere between decks that it was suffocated, especially in the lulling of the faint breeze. A wMte heat seemed to make sea and skr grow paTe; and the former «ast upward a reflection from its glassy surface and long smooth swells that was hot—hot beyon'd all description. Though ever and anon the upper deck was drenched with salt water, It dried immediately, emitting a strong otl >r of wet wood, while the skids over the side failed to keep the paint, tar and rosin rising in large burnt blisters. About the time when %e hoped that HI slop would have been well enough to make aa observation, even by being placed In a chair on deck, the weather became so rough that he was unable to leave his berth, and during all that day the brig drove before a heavy gale, with her courses hauled close up. the fore and main topsail yards lowered on the caps, and their canvas close reefed. , After the heat we had endured, the reader may imagine this gale would bo refreshing and a relief. Net so. TLe atmosphere, as .it became dark with gathering clouds, increased in density, closeness and beat, thus about th<i time we should have had clear twilight, the hour was gloomy as a northern midnight—so dark that the men i& the tops, or those lying .out alone th\s foot-ropes at the yard-arms, when under close-reefed topsails, could not be seen from the deck, while the breese that swept over the ocean was breathless— hot as the simoon of the desert; aui our men knew not whether they wf re drench** by perspiration or the spoonsrift tsra *trom <h* warm wave tpps fey the increasing Mast. The peculiar appearance of this black, gale alarmed and bewildered Tattpoatf, Tom, who eoml* make aothing of It, while poor Mat* Histo* whose skttl wostd have been invaluable to as, when he heard the singing out on deck, thunder of the bellying course* with their trails, the roar * - * - hatf-barec meal, art **«**.'*«. f U ^ewbead, writhed l a Mi ted* and mourned his own Inactivity, or rather incapacity; but he sent me to tell Lambourne to cover up the anchors with wetted canvas, as it was not Improbable, by the state of the atmosphere, that it was full of electricity and thus we might be in a dangerous way. "Tell Tom," he whispered, "It ia a trade-wind gale—I know it to be so." "How?" I aaked, "when you are lying here below?" "By the barometer, which remains high, while the wind is steady," replied Hislop la a low voice, for he was BtiU very weak; "if the barometer fall, be sure it will become a typhoon, and then, with a short-handed craft, heaven help us! But assure Tom it is only as yet a trade-wind gajle—to take as much canvas off her aa he can, and to make all snug aloft. We'll have thunder directly, Dick—such thunder as you can only hear la the tropico." He sank back, exhausted even by these few words, while I hurried on deck with his orders. I had scarcely conveyed them to Lambourne, who was keeping a lookout forward, when, amid the dusky; obscurity of sea and sky, there burst a sudden gleam of wondrouB light. The men, who were spreading some old, wetted sails over the sheet and working anchors; the steersman at the wheel, the watch and all bands who were crouching to leeward, or holding on by ropes and belaying pins to windward*, seemed for a moment to become whlte-visaged specters amid a eea of pale.blue flame—a sea whereon the flying brig, with her brailed courses and reefed topsails, her half-naked masts and black cordage, were all distinctly visible as at noonday, while the polished brass on funnel, binnacle and skylight all flashed and shone, as ship and crew, with all their details of form and feature, "Were instant seen and instant lost." For a broad and blinding sheet of electric flame burst upon the darkness of the night..and passed away as rapidly, when the livid brand burst in the welkin or in the wave, we knew not which. Then camo the roar of thunder— the stunning and appalling thunder of the tropics, every explosion of which seemed to rend-earth, sea and sky, as they rolled like a palpable thing, or like the united salvo of a thousand echoes at the far horizon. After a sound so mighty and bewildering, the beUowing of the wind through the rigging, the hiss and roar of the sea as wave broke against wave; the flapping of the brailed courses; the creaking and straining of the timber B, seemed as nothing—the very silence of death—while the Eugenie tore on, through mist and spray, through darkness and obscurity, with the foam flying white as winter draft over her bows and martingale.. Again there was a pale-green gleam overhead, right above tLe truck of the mainmast, wher? the chambers of the sky seemed to open. The clouds divided in the darkness of heaven, and out of that opening came the forked lightning, zigzag, green and ghastly. There was a dreadful shock, which knocked every man down, except Carlton, wno was at the wheel, and an exclamation of terror escaped us alL A tnunde.-bolt had struck the Eugenie! With all its wondrous speed—instantaneous as electric light could be—it jglided down the main top-gajlant mast, rending the topmast-cap and the framed grating of the top to pieces; thence it ran down the mainmast, burst through the deck and spent its fury la the hold. At that moment the main-topmast, with all its yards, gear and canvas, fell about the deck in burning brands, and the brig was hove right in the wind's eye, uiile the sea twitched the helm <mt of the hands of Ned Carltan, who became bewildered on finding the -compasses lose all their polarity bj the influence of the electric fluid, the north point of one heading southeast acd of the other southwest. Almost immediately after this there was a erjr oX "Fire!**-—ttzx cry so terrible, MO appalling on board ship? and then thick white smoke was seen to the erevlces of the battened All haste lushed to this point.

Not a moment was lost ia netting thu longboat over the side, and with a heavy splash, by which it was nearly ewamped, we got It afloat.

Ty the wild, weird glare that ro3e In frightful columns from the main pud fore hatchways we had plenty of Hglt, as it shone far over the huge billows of that dark and tempestuous tea, to which we were about to commit cur fortunes, and now a pale and half-dreseed pgure approached us. It was Marc Hislop, whom tho terrible odor had roused from his berth ia tl?e cabin, and he now came forward, supporting hia feeble steps by clutching the shrouds and belaying- An Ifiijttalwst Combination* Xlm flspsssst »*thod and beneftojal Secisj «sf 8 T I rushed below and brought up a blanket and great coat to wrap him In, and he was promptly swung over Into the boat, where Carlton received and supported him. Three bags of bread, with a tarpaulin *.o cover them, two ke,gs of rum, four casks of water, with oars, sails and tilankets, were thrown pell-mel* into the beat. A hatchet and a bundle of spun-yard completed our stores. The compasses were considered now <o be useless, or were omitted, X forget which. The wind still amounted to «i gale, though lees violent, and It fanti'd the growing flames, so that the fat.i tl brig burned fast. The lightning stii' flashed, but at the horizon, and tt* thunder was heard to grumble above the hiss of the sea; yet we heeded mem aot, though they added to the terror *rid the grandeur of the scer.« ; and, mesi providentially for us, the Jury of the storm was past. Tattooed Tcm was the last ms.a who •left the brig, and the moment rio was In the boat he exclaimed, with a loud voice, that rang above the roaring of he flames, which now gushed through every hatchway and aperture, above the howling of the wind and the breaking of the frothy sea— "Shove off!—out oare, there, to starboard— pull round her stern—pull with a will to windward—keep the boat's bow to the break cf the sea!" We pulled silently and vigorously, rnd soon got clear of the brig, through the four stern windows of which four lines of light glared redly on tie ocean. - All our strength was required, to achieve this, for the brig, being the larger body, attracted the boat toward her. However we got safely to windward, which was absolutely necessary, for to leeward there fell hissing Into the sea a torrent of sparks and burning brand* from the rigging, which was all in flames now. Resting upon our oars, or only using them to keep the boat's head to the break of the sea, and to prevent her being swamped—an operation during which they were as often flourished in the air as in the ocean, when we rose on the crest of one vast, heaviag wave, or sank into the dark vale sf water between two—resting thus, we gazed in silence and with aching heart* at the destruction of our bom* upon the the weU known remedy,, ftes, wsunfactured by the • STBVP CO., illustrate' bstng the liquid laxa- • of plants known in be ssjBwve and presenting^ t refreshing to the r to the system.

In a quarter of an hour she was enveloped from stem to stern in a sheet of fire tha* rose skyward in the form at a pyramid. By this time every vestige of her spars, sails and rigging had disappeared. The entire deck had been consumed; the bulwarks and molded plank-sheer rapidly followed, and through the flames that roared fiercely from the hollow of her hull we could see the black timberheads standing upward. like a row of fangs. Rents appeared next in her sides a* the flames burst through the inner and outer sheathing, and with a hissing, sound as they met the waves of the briny sea. Then a salt steam rose, and its strange odor, with that of the burning wood, was wafted ut times toward us.

The court holds that a tax can be imposed by the cities villages in addition to the 9500 licence fee provided for the state, law. The case in question was a test of the validity of ah ordinance of the city of Holland which imposed a $300 licence in addition to the state tax. Thomas Allen, a sailor, who now resides in Detroit, was convicted of attempted murder in Grand Rapide several years ago and was given five years in Jackson. Afterward the fact became known that at the time the crime was committed he was sailing on the Pacific ocean. Gov.

Senator Sheldon made the speech of his life this morning in opposition to Senator Wagners motion to make senate btfl No. 552, prohibiting the sale of chattel mortgage property the special order for next Tuesday. Mr. Sheldon warmed up and denounced the bill as an outrage, and said it was unconstitutional. His digust and excitement increased when the Wagner motion was adopted in spite of his protests. Then the senators repaired to the cloak room and laughed long and loud. There is no such measure as senate bill 552.

The territory cared for by Mr. Danis comprised the state of Michigan, and portions of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and he visits every town once a year, making advertising con* traets, and looking alter sales. These remedies are standard and well known to our people. It is claimed that Downs1 Elixir is the oldest cough medicine made, it having been prominently before the public for nearjy three-quarters of a century.

He attemped an assult, and she screamed but was choked into silenoe, and una threat of death she promised , never to mention it. She told ; Mrs. Eastman, however, and the man was discharged, Before j leaving, with a revolver in his ! hand, he attempted to get to Miss Beade who was locked in the parlor. He then took her jewelry, and left^a note in her room saying: *J will see you ail again." The matter is in the hands of the prosecuting attorney.

The receipts from customs were 8l7,fi4is.945, from internal revenue 822.207,090 , miscellaneous 81,758,541 . The deficit for the fiscal year to date amounts to 6100,- 300,283, but the probabilities are that the deficit for the entire year will not be in excess of the estimate of $113,* 000,000 made by Secretary Gage in his aunual report. • Fifteenth Annual Report. The civil service commission, in its 15th annual report, says that the total number of persons examined^ duriujr the year was 45,713, of whom 30,(500 passed.

Filipino* May try Self-Government. It is declared at the state department that the proclamation issued by the Philippine commission just before the beginning of the of the last campaign represents the maximum concessions to be made to the insurgents by the U. S. government. It is realized nosr more strongly than at any other period that the capacity of the Filipinos for *elf-government is an undetermined question. The U. S. government is wiiliug to accord the natives an opportunity to test their ability for the Philippine commission proposes to allow ihem almost complete control of their local affairs, exercising only such supervision through the U. 8. military as may be necessary to guard against the consequences of mistakes on the part of the native municipal and provisional officials in their first experiment at self-government. Oar l*tmr* in the SpaaJvh WM>* A memorandum has been prepared at the war department comparing the losses ia. the Spanish war with the first year of the civil war.

"Whibh way shall we pall?" aaked the* bowman,"'is we paused "wlta our oars in the rowlbcks. "It matters' little, mates," ctfed Tom, in a loud' vole*, with'his1 f#t nahd >,t the 'side of »is mouth, to send w^at he fiaid forward above the roar of the wind and sea. /"We artist 'be inany hundred mites from Brazil, the nearest land, and we can do nothing nqw but keep our boat alfvu by baling and Bteering tiH daybreak. Now, Master Hislop," he afided,'Towering his voice, "how do yon feel, air*?" "I feel that I am Quite in your way, my lads—« oseless hand aboard, to consume yoar tood and water," replied Hlslo?, fatnt^y. "Why, atof said Probart, the stroke oarsman, **you (don't think we could .have left you to burn in that poor old brig?" "No, rat (exactly; still 1 am of no use to joa, ;antt il feel'—" "What, «lr, <what?" asked Tom, anxiously. "Heart fiftik and despairing," moaned Hiskxp, letting his chin drop on his breast. "DoaUtt^lk so, sir." said Lambourne, stoutly; '^despair never found a place in the heart of a Britisl: sailor.* "You are right, Tom; and perhaps I'll gather headway and get to windward yet." "Of course j'ou will," replied Tom, cheerfully; "but here's a sea comingtogether, lads, pull together!" Despair might well have found a place in ;all our breasts at that awful crisis.; but Tom's Lluff .aud cheerful way prevented our hearts from sinking, though the hours of that awful night seemed dark and lung. Well, without compass, chart, or qo*drant, there we were, ten in number, in an open boat, tossing upon a dark ^and stormy sea, enveloped in clouds, with the red lightning gleaming~ through their ragged openlngsrofat tfce far and flat horizon—Ignorant of where we were, where to Bteer for, or wthat to *do, and full of terrible anticipations for the future! We \were -silent and sleepless, My heart was full of horror, grief and vague alarm, when I thought of my ihome—rthe quiet, the happy and peaceful oWiTectory, with all who loved me there, and whom I might never see again. Tlie hot tears that started to my eyes mingled with the cold spray that dreoched my cheeks, and there seemed bmt< one consolation for me, that my father, my affectionate mother aad sisters, .dear Dot and little Sybil, could never ikaow tfcow I perished by hunger or drowning, H such were U> be my fate. • U sthe stories I had heard or read of shipwrecked men—their sufferings, their endurance of gnawing hunger and burning thirst, their cannibalism, their mortal straggles with their deareat friends for the last morsel of tood, for the ,laat drop of water, and how the weak ; perished that the strong might •Sve—crowded upon my memory to augment the real terrors of bur situation. • So audttoflly had this final catastrophe «cm%e upon us that we had considerable /difficulty in assuring ourselves of its reality, and that it was not a .dream—a dream, alas! from which these <xnight be no awakening. So hour ;«fter hour passed darkly, jilowly, and silently on. • The torbulesce of the <w*nd and waves abated, the Hgtotsmg pas*«d away, the «cW ceased l o whirl, the vapors were divided in heaven, and a faint light that stole tremulously upward from the (horizon served to indicate the east and the dawn of the coming day. , CHAPTER XXVL Discover Land.

'A ration of rum-and-water in equal proportions was new served round to each man, the leathern 'cover of bung being our only cup, as we had omitted a drinking vessel among our nastily collected stores. Half of a biscuit given to each constituted our breakfast, anh with licpe dawning with the day in our hearts vre shipped our oars and pulled stoutly toward ' the west. Tom Lambcrnrne 'Steered; the eea was smooth, the wind light, and in our favor; so ere long the mast was shipped and a trail hoisted to lessen the labor of tire rowers. We were anxious for the dense bank of purple cloud to-clear away, that we might hare <& more extensive view of the horizon, and perhaps discover a sail, but the envious vapor seemed to darken and to roll before us, or rather before the wind .that bore us aft alter i t About "midday, when we were paus Ing on «txr <oars, breathless and panting wita neat, drenched with perspiration, which tran into our *eye3 and trickled down our breasts, and when visions rif ice-water and bitter beer came tantalir-ingly to memory—for sea and skf were equally hot, as the former seemed to welter and become oily under tJie hilaze of the latter—a sharpwinged bird that skimmed past us suddenly caugut the hollow eye of Hislop, who, I jthougilt, was sleeping, "Do ;you see that bird, Tom?" he exclaimed, half Etarting up from the stern-sheets; ait is a man-of-war bird!" "Wb^t then, sir?" "We-must be near land," Teplied the mate. ' "Latfd!" reiterated every one in the boat, tfheir voices expressing joy, surprise XJT incredulity. "Is it Brazil?1'1 asked Tattooed Tom, with abiaxement in his singular face. —^J jio not think go," said Hislop, passlnf a h.and"wear11y and reflectively over wr*pafe forehead. "Brazil—It Is impossible, by the test reckoning I made before that Spaniard wounded me. But Heaven only knows where we may have drifted to since thenV '^The wind and currents may have taken us many hundred miles from where the last observation was made," added'Catiton. "Birt I am convinced that we are near land—look ail the sea-wrack that passes us now; acJ we must be out of tht; track of the Gulf-weed," continued the mate, with confidence. "ABti may I never gee the More ; again if that ain't land now, looming right ahead through the fog-bank!" exclaimed Tom. starting up and shading Ms «y«s from the sun with both hands,>asii»e peered Intently westward. As laeireader may Imagine, we all gazed anxiously enough in the direction indicated by the old seaman, and a swell,,of <rapture rose in the breasts of ail nvbMi something in the form of a headland c: bluff could be distinctly seen iSsght ahead, bearing due west, about-«eren miles distant, standing out frwm-tbe bank of vapor, or looming like a ^darker shadow within it. This appearance never change! in outline, but remained stationary and every jinoment became more defined and cotifirmeti. Exclamations of Joy now broke from us, and we congratulated each other on msfeing tfr* land *n soon and FC unexpectedly, -without enduring the miseries which so frequently fall to the lot 'Of those who are cant away, as we were, in an open boat, at sea. "But what lsarti is it?" was the general inquiry. Another allowance of grog was served rounds the oars were again ablpped, we bent «*ir backs and breasts sturdily to the task, and at every fiforefce' almost lilted the boat clean omt of the shining water in oar eagerness to. veccih this suddenly tilscowereti shore. This hafl such an effect upoa Ware Hislop that, though weak and stoking as he had keen, he begged that he might be allowed to steer,the boat a little way, while Tom I^mbourne kept a bright lookout ahead, to watch for any ripple or corf that might Indicate the locality of a treacherous coral reef, as such might prove dangerous to a large and heavily laden craft like burs. With ever/ jtrofce of. the beading OATS the land aeemoj to rise higher and more high. Ere long we cowid make out its alnou*. asd at the mist ditpened or rose upward Into add air. w« could s«« tbe dark brown of toe bl«C, asd «y»* tree* of Btringt aspect, with drooping foliage on its sammit, were oHarly def ned, as they stood between us and the blue sky beyond. We toon made out distinctly that It was a large island. The shore was somewhat level to the northeast, and in the center towered an. almost perpendicular mountain of vast height, the sides of which seemed covered with furze, gorse and brushwood. Elsewhere its dusky and copper-colored1 rocks started sheer out of the sea, whose waters formed a zone cf enow-white surf around their base. We headed the boat ?o the northeast, where the shore seemed more approachable, and as we pulled along It, but keeping fully three miles off. we saw high crags, deep r&rinea, shady woods and dells in the Interior, though no appearance of houses, of wigwams, or of inhabitants. Many speculations wefre now ventured as to what island this might be. "May It not be land that has never before been discovered?" I suggested, with a glow of pleasure, in the anticipation of beiug among the first to tread an unexplored and hitherto unknown shore. Hislop smiled and shook his head, Henry Warren, who had been an oM South Sea whaler, suggested that it was the island Grando, but Hislop assured us that this was impossible. In the first place, by the position of the eun, he could see that we were not BO far south as the parallel of Port San Giorgio on the Brazilian shore, and in the second, the existence of such an island was doubted. "Can it be Trinidad Island—Tristan da Cunha, or the Rocks of Martin Vaz?" asked Tom Lambourne. "If the latter," replied Htslop, "we should now be in south latitude 20 deg. 27 mln., but this land in no way answers to the aspect of the Martin Vaz Rocks." "Did you ever see, them, sir?" asked several. "No; but they are described by La Perrouse as appearing like five distinct headlands." After pausing and pondering for a moment, he suddenly added, with confidence. "It is the Island of Alphonso de Albuquerque!" "How do yqu know?" I inquired. "By the appearance of that cliff, and the sotintaln inland." You have beea here before?" asked Probart. "Kever; btit I know it to be Alphonso by that cliff on the north, and the mountain, too, which were particularly described in a Spanish book I lost in tb* Eugenie. The mountain is a peak which the author says resembles—difi any of you ever gee a place like It before?" "It is a» li*e Tenny Reef from the _P_ort_of_ba.ji*a Cruz as one egg Is like anotherfTT~ci~claimed Tutu baa&fee&fae^ 'Exactly, Tom, that is what the Spanish author likens it to, though he doesn't use the simile. So If it Is the Island of Alphonso, we are now spmewhere in south latitude 87 deg. 6 min., and west longitude 12 deg. 2 mm. Pull southward, my tada, tbe shore opens a bit beyond that headland. We shall find a smooth beach probably within that bight yonder.** "Anyway we're not in pilot"* water," added Tom, laughing; "giv* way, mates—stretch out" We pulled with a hearty will, and ere long were close in shore—«o close that our larboard oars seemed almost to touch the mighty rocks which rose sheer from the sea, like mighty cyclopean walls, but covered with the greenest moss; they overhung and overshadowed the dark, deep water that washed their base, and as they shielded us from the fierce noonday heat of tue sun, we found the partial coolness reireshing and delightful, As Hislop had foreseen, om rounding the bluff, the shore reeeded inward, and through a line of white surf, like that which boils over the bar at a river's mouth, we dashed into a beauttful little bay, the sandy teach of which was shaded by groves of bright green trees. Still we saw no trace of inhabitants; but selecting a small creek, which was almost concealed by trees that grew, like mangroves, close to t l » edge of the water, we ran our boat in, moored her securely, where none were likely to find her save ourselves, and then all save Hislop and Billy the ea^ta boy, who remained to attend fc&n, we went on an exploring expedition in search of natives or whatever turn up next.

The attention of the police department of New York has been called to the fact that there is a statute of the state which prohib- | its the selling of tobacco in any : form to persons under 10 years of I age. 1 Chillicothe has fifteen or more saloons and had to issue $30,000 in bonds to pave the streets of that city.

The rum manufactured at the sugar fact ories has to be sent elsewhere, as anyope giving intoxicating liquor to a"nativa is fined £50 aud imprisoned three months. This penalty is doubled for each repeated offense while in the colonies. A train of twenty cars loaded with bottled beer passed through Kansas City last week on its way from Millwaukee to Manilla.

Ainsworth, a young man of fine physique, was at work with another man named Simpson, when, without a moment's warning, a large portion of the "roof" of the mine gave way, and the two were enveloped in the debris. Simpson's death was Instantaneous. Not so Ainsworth. He waa a prisoner with, to all appearances, no possible means of escape. And to" add to the horrors of the situation, Ainaworth was unable to help himself. One of his arms was caught between one of the heavy "head trees" which supported the roof and the iron bogie used for running the iron ore to the foot of the shaft. In that position he was forced to remain. He could hear the efforts that were being made to rescue him. The distance between him and his rescuers was but a few yard^, but hour after hour sped by before they were able to reach him. It was necessary to proceed with caution. The timbers of the pit groaned and cracked, aud there was no telling what might happen. It was a horrible suspense, but yet, it is said, Ainsworth bore up bravely. He could distinguish the voices of those working for his rescue and when they shouted words of encouragement to him he was able to answer them. For many hours the most strenuous efforts were made to get at him. At last the rescuers were able to creep through a small hole into what was a vc-itable living grave. Even then they were unable to remove him, except at the sacrifice of his arm. They were able, however, to provide him with refreshment. With marvelous fortitude he awaited the time when the obstructions could be removed and his arm released. Again the rescue party went to work with a wllL More hours passed by, but at last success crowned their efforts and Ainsworth was once more a free man, after more than thirty hours of the most horrible agony. Without delay, he was removed and conveyed to tbe surface, and amid the joy expressed at his rescue was the wonder that Ainsworth should have borne the terrible ordeal so well. But the hope that he would' recover from the strain to which he had been subjected quickly gave way to despair. He was removed to his home on Friday morning, but only, to die.

Love may go where it Is sent, but some times It isn't sent where it goes. Without charity for the defects af humanity there would be no self-esteem.

This was the worst of the ten plagues. The destroying angel at midnight flapped bis wfo* ever the laud* and there was one dead in each houso. Lamentation and mourning aad woe through all Bfypt. That destroying angel has fled the earth, but a far worse has come. He* sweeps through these citiec. It is the destroying angel of strong drink. Far worse devastation wrought by this second than by the first. The calamity in America worse than the calamity }n Egypt Thousands of the slain, millions of the slain. No arithmetic can calculate their number. Once upon & time four fiends met in the lost world. They resolved that the people of our earth were too happy, and these four Internals came forth to our earth on an embassy of mischief. The one fiend eakl: "I'll take charge of the vineyards." Another said: "I'll take charge of the grain fields." Another said: "I'll take charge of the dairy." Another said: "I'll take charge of the music." The four fiends met in the great Sahara Desert, with skeleton fingers clutched each other in handshake of fidelity, kissed each other good-bye with Up of blue flame and parted on their mission. The fiend of the vineyard came in one bright morning amid the grapes and sat down on a root of twisted ffv»p«*ta»ta •»h««r dtocouregement. The fiend knew not how to damage the vineyard, or, through it, how to dam* age"thei woTTa; The grapfS.Ywefe so ripe and beautiful and Jusciotfc. They bewitched the air wlt^v thelfc sweetness. Ther6 seemed to* be so much health in every bunch;, and while the fiend sat there in utter indignation and disappointment^ -hf/ clutched a cluster and squeezed- it in perfect spite, and lo! his hand wife red with the blood of the vinegar^, fend the fiend said: "That reminds1.me.of'the blcod of broken hearts; Tjl strip the vineyard and I'll squeeze out all the Jaice of the grapes, and I'll alLqw tf»«f Juices of. the grapes to stand uatil they rot, and I'll call the process fermentation." And there was a great vat prepared, and. people came with their cups and their pitchers, and they dipped up the at the gripe3, aod they drank and drank and went away drinking, the vineyard, and oi the grata field* tnd of the dairy, and of the music hall —went back to their horn* and the? held high carnival because their work had been so well done; and Satan rose from aUs throne and announced that there w*a ao danger of the earth's redemption so long as these four fiends could pay such tax to the diabolic. And then all the demons, and all the sprites, and all the fiends, filled their glasses, and clicked them, and cried: "Let us drink—drink to the everlasting prosperity of the liquor traffic. Here's to woe, and darkness, and murder, and death. Drink! Drink!" But whether by allegory or by appalling statistic this subject Is presented, you know as well as I that it is impossible to exaggerate the evils of strong drink. A plague! A plague! In the first place the Inebriate suffers from the loss of a good name. God has so arranged it that no man loses his reputation except by his own act. The world may assault a man, and ail the powers of darkness may assault him—they cannot capture him so long as his heart is pure and his life is pure. All the powers of earth and hell cannot take that Gibraltar. If a man is right, all the bombardment of the world for five, ten, twenty, forty years will only strengthen him in his position. So that all you have to do is to keep yourself right. Never mind the world. Let it say what it will. It can do you no damage. But as soon as It is whispered, "he drinks," and It can be proved, he begins to go down. What clerk can get a position with such a reputation? What store wants him? What Church of God wants him for a member? What dying man wants him for nn executor? ^He drinks!" I stand before hundreds of young men—and I say it not in flattery— splendid young men who have their reputation as their only capital. Your father gave you a good education, or as good an education as be cotrht-afJord to give you. He started you in city life. He could furnish you no means, but he has surrounded you with Christian influences and a good memory of the past, Now, young man, under God you arc with your own right arm to achieve your fartune, and as your reputation Is your enly capital, do not bring upon It suspicion by going in and out of liquor establishments, or by an odor cf your breath, or by any glare of your eye, or byany unnatural flush on your cheeks. You lose your reputation and you lose your capital. The inebriate suffers also in the fact that ho loses his self-respect, and when you destroy * loan's self-respect there is not much left of him. Then a man will do things ho would not do otherwlse: he will say things he would not say otherwise. The fact is that man Over in France there is a growing opposition to President Loubit1 on account of his personal appearance. What show would "Oom Paul" stand in such a country as that? The keel of a ship lies concealed, yet It Is Indispensable to her progress and w.fety^ so virtue does not always cp- *pear open the surface, yet true manhood is unknown without It. ' A Vienna lady, the Baroness Maurice de Hlrsoh de Gereuth, has left £20,000,000 to charity. If she had lived in this country that sum would have kept the lawyers fighting the case for a, long time. It takes a long time to heal the scars of war, but the process begins almost as soon as the last gun is fired. Already a cargo of American wheat has entered a port of Spain, and the people are hungry for more. and, they drank until they fell in long,' cannot stop, or he would stop now. lines of death, so that when the fiend 'He is bound hand and foot £by the of the vineyard wanted to return to Philistines, and they: have shorn his It appears that every European nation whose citizens can get permission to build a railroad in China expects to acquire thereby a "sphere of influence" in that part of the empire through which the raljroad runs.

Then the second fiend came Into the grain field. He waded chin-deep amidthe barley and the rye. He heard all the grain talking about bread, and prosperous husbandry, and thrifty homes. He thrust his long arms into the grain field and he pulled up the grain and threw it into the water aad he madb beneath it great fires—fires lighted w'tli a spfl-rk ix^zx fcis own heart—and there was a grinding, and a mashing, and a stench, and the people came with their bottles and they dipped up the fiery liquid, and they drank, and they blasphemed, and they staggered, and they fought, and they rioted, and they murdered, and the fiend o| the pit, the fiend of the grain fteld* wap--so pleased with their behavior tfcit he changed his residence from the pft to a whisky, barrel^ and there he sat by the door of the bung- •nole laughing In high merriment at the thought that out of anything BO harmless as the grain of the field he might turn this world into a seeming pandemonium. The fiend of tlie dairy saw tb»j cows coming home fvsm the pasture field, fuli-uddered, and as the maid milked he said: "Ml soon spoil all that meas; I'll add to it brandy, eugar, and nutmeg, and" I'll stir it Intc a milk punch, and children will drink it, and some of the- temperance people will1 drink it, and If I can do them no more harm, I'll give tl|em a headache, and then I'll hand them over tp.the niore vigorous iJends of tbe Sfltanic.deUgotlon."

His family become alarmed in regard to him, and they eayt "Now do stop this; after a while It will get the mastery of you." "Oh! no," he says, "I can stop at any time; I can stop now, I can stop tomorrow." His most conftdentir. l friends say: "Why, I'm afraid you are losing year balance with that habit; you are going a little further than you can afford to go; you had better stop." "Oh! no," he says, "I can stop at any time; I can step now." He goes on further and further. He cannot stop. I will prove It. He loves himself, and he knows nevertheless that strong drink is depleting him in body, mind and soul. He knows he is going down, that he has less self-control, less equipoise of temper than he used to. Why does he not stop? Because he cannot stop. I will prove it by going still further. He loves his wife and children. Ho Stfcs that his habits are bringing disgrace upon his home. The probabilities are they will ruin his wife and disgrace his children. He sees all this, and he loves them. Why do en he not stop? He cannot stop. • • • • If a fiend from a lost wcrld should come up on a mission to a grog shop, nnd, having finished the mission in ths grog shop, should cocae back, taking on the tip of his wiug one drop of alcoholic beverage, what excitement It would make all through the world of the lost; and it that one drop of alcoholic beverage should drop from the "wing of the flend upon the tongue of the inebriate, how he would spring up and cry: "That's it! that's it!

Yea. "Are you in favor of prohibitory law?" lea. "Are you In favor of the pledge?" Yes. Combine all the influences, 0 Christian reformers and philanthropists!

Thirty women in one of the Western states banded together, and with an especial ordination from God they went fqr.tti to the work and shut up all the grog shops of a large village. Thirty women, with their song aad with their prayer; and if one thousand or two thousand Christian men and women with an especial ordlnacion from God should go forth feeling the responsibility of tneir work and discharging their mission, they could in any city shut up all the grog shops. But I must not dwell on generalities; I must come to specifics. Are yon astray? If there is any sermon I dislike it is a sermon on generalities. I want personalitleg. Are you astray? Have you gone so far you think you cannot get back? Did I say a few moments ago that a man might go to a point In Inebriation where he could not stop? Yes, I said it, and I reiterate it; but I want you also to understand that while the man himself,, of his own strength, cannot stop, God can stop any man. You have only to lay hold of the strong arm of the Lord God Almighty. He can Btop you. Many summers ago I went over to New York one Sabbath evening—our church not yet being open for the autumnal services—I went into a room in the Fourth ward, New York, where a re* liglous service was being held for reformed drunkards, and I heard a revelation that night that I had Dever heard before—fifteen or twenty men standing up and giving testimony such as I had never heard given. They not only testified that their hearts had been changed by the grace of God, but that the grace of God had extinguished their thirst. They went on. tq> say that they had reformed at different times before, but immediately fallen, because they were doang the whole work in their own strength. "But AS soon as we gave our hearts to God," they said, "and the love ot the Lord Jesua Christ has come tMcr oiir soul, the thirst has ail gone.

How many times in life a few words of good advice, coming from a friend one can depend upon, will save us hours, perhaps months, of misery. The fol* lowing which comes from1 Battle Creek will interest our readers. Dr. Oliver Guiteaux, Veterinary Surgeon of that city, a well-known man there, as well as in Kalaraazoo and Marshall, speaks of his experience with the little conqueror and the result of a few titoely words of advice. He says: *'I was standing in Amberg & Murphy's Uriv^ store in liattle Creek one day when a friend of mine came in nod asked for a box of kidney pills. After he had made his purchase I said quietly to him, 'You have made a misttike in buying- those.1 His reply was, 'How is that?' I said 'Doan's Kidney Pills are worth all the others put together.' As he wanted my reasons for thinking so I told him that my kidneys had bothered me for years, tha*. I sufFerod from backache until I could scarcely stand it, that I had nearly every symptom to be found where the kidneys are Tecled, that "I had use?! Tcnre?ly"BrftFr remedy including box after box of the one he just purchased, and that until I used Doans Kidney Pills I might have taken as many spoonsful of water, in fact, I think some of them hurt me. A couple of weeks after this I met him on the street, when he said: 'Doc, Doan's Kidney Pills are just as you represented. After using the box about which we had a conversation in Am berg & Murphy's drug store I was as bad as ever.

Stetson, of Buctaa Vista county, Iowa, report aa follows of the Canadian North-West as to U» suitability for fanning, and the advantages it offers to the agricultural Immigrant from the United States: "We came here solely to look up Improved farms and, if suitable, to ae* lect such as pleased us best. We have not visited the homestead districts at ail, though we believe them to be very inviting. Our Inquiries have been confined solely to the district around Martney, Deloraine and towards the Souris River in Manitoba. Our impreaeiom of all that region are in every way satisfactory, and we have decided to go back to Iowa at once, and, having disposed of our several Interests there, to return to Manitoba In the month of March next, and. effecting our purchase of Improved farms, which we find we can do at reasonable rates, immediately begin farming. We are greatly pleased with all that we have seen In that part of "Western Canada. The soil we find to be more than equal to that of our own country for wheat-growing, and the other conditions of climate, schools, markets, etc., are all thai we could wish for. ••T o show what an energetic man can do we may mention that we found one such at Hartney who had rented a farm on shares, receiving two-thirds of the returns as his share of the crop. When he came to Bell hia own produce he found that his two-thirds, when converted into caah. was enough to buy the farm he rented out and out, which he accordingly did, and is now its owner. It is our intention to induce as many of our friends as possible, who are practical farmers, to remove from Iowa to this country, where we believe there is a better future for the industrious man than is now to be found anywhere on 1£U continent. We are well known in our part of the state of Iowa, and we Invite correspondence from its residents in all parts with regard to this region of Western Canada which we have visited, and to which we Intend to return."

Ball Btarlosi Did It Bicycles were l&y«Atai centuries ago, but It required the magic touch of the Nineteenth eeatury Inventor to make the "wheel" a most useful Y«- htota instead of a mere toy. Ball bearing* did it. It was a c&3* where the improvement has proved greater than the original invention. The principle that reduces friction to a minimum- in a bicycle is applicable to all machinery, and the cost 1» the only obstacle in the way of what will be known in history as the "Ught Draft Bra" In mechanics. Millions of dollars have been spent in this direction. The Deering Harvester Company, of Chicago, solved the problem, as far as grain binders and mowers are concerned, by equipping their machines with roller and bail bearings In 1891. Other manufacturers In this line have since followed with several kinds of experimental roller bearings, but the Deering machines are still alone in the field with ball bearings of ths bicycle pattern. The Deering Company's annual catalogue for 189$ contains some very interesting historical matter on this subject, fully illustrated. The book also describes the largest factory in America and gives the latest news on the subject or harvesting machinery. Send for one; it'a free.

Complaints have been made from various sources of discourtesy to freight and passenger patrons on the part of our agents, or their representatives, at several of our stations, and also inattention of conductors and brakemen to properly care fo? the comfort of passengers. There should be no cause for such complaints. It is a, part of your duty to see that our patrons are treated at all times with politeness and courtesy, not only by yourself but by employes under your charge.

He was taken to the home of his sister, Mrs. Hugh Clark Jr., where at the time of going to press, Wednesday afternoon, he lay ueconcions andther* is no hope of his recovery. Mr. Wilcox is 71 years old and well known all over the state. V b u VUUla* Poor and Kick. Lenten frock* ot purple and helltrope *or church-going mission-visit- Ing and good work generally, are being made (or the consistent and conscientious woman, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. Simplicity and demureness characterize these gowni as a rule, and the clinging, graceful, soft fabrics, such as nun's veiling, cashmere and canvas are chosen rather than the more aggressive and worldly cloths or rustling materials. One good soul whose Lenten duties take varied forms has what she calls her "hospital dress." This she wearB to readings and recitals and lectures on Greek art and psychological phenomena, as well as to the wards where the children wait her coming as eagerly as flowers long for the sun. "I don't believe la the old-time philanthropist in a lfttU gray bonnet and a black shawl," says this Lent lily. "I think poor people and 'shut-ins' are more observing and more appreciative than people who bustle about In the world, and I know that they lov« pretty clothes and are pleased to think one puts on her very best to go to see them. One small girl at the post graduate always 'sizes me up' with her big blue eyes the minute I enter ttre ward. Then, when I sit beside her bed to talk to her, she smiles and strokes my muff, plays with the charms on my chatelaine and tells me how pretty I look, how much nicer this bonnet U th-an the on« I wore last week and other bits of Information that she has probably been cogitating on and storing up for days. It makes me wary, I assure you, and If I am not as smart as usual I fairly quake before the scrutiny of the blue-eyed one who loves visitors, but, above all, smartly dressed visitors, "My girls, like their mother, hav« not much money to spend, so they try to give time and energy instead. One of them teachoa a class of little barbarians how to sew and the other has a kindergarten catechism class. The girls are both in their teens and 1 fear neither of them has the gift of teaching, so I discreetly avoid questions about the progress the children axe making In sewing or religion; but I do know that the little heathens of Hester street think Pollle a sort of well-dressed angel, who is a fair teller of stories, and Nell tells as a good Joke that the Saturday morning following the day on which she wore her fox boa for the first time, the attendance of her class was about one-third as largft again as it had been before. "The nhaftrvinR pnpila htu) toM iY\» neighborhood how the teacher had let Teresa Giovanetti wear the wild beast around "her neck because her hem- •tltchlng was well done. Poor Nell had her hands full that morning between her efforts to teach the increased number and her anxiety for her precious boa, that was being 'walked' around the room, one child holding Its head and one its tall, letting the legs claw along the floor. She decided to make a virtue of necessity and a Lenten sacrifice of the boa. It became the plaything of the class, but aided Nell's efforts to maintain order; at the -first threat to take the fox away from them the children became as submissive as a class of cherubs. "Dress Is a great thing when people are to be cheered and heartened mentally as well as physically, A chatelaine and a pretty hat, a fashionable frock and a big muff will sometimes interest and amuse a suffering child as much as'a picture book and flatter and please a poor old soul shut away from the poetic and stereotyped bunch of flowers or bundle of tracts."

The rate for April was IS.* per 1,000 population as compared with therftte of It 5 for March.

Joseph Harvey, who has lived all life on u farm near Howard City, whoso boyhood training was gopd, and who never had ,any vicipus,. or ©coentrio habits or characteristics to distinguish him from tens of thousand* of young men whose lives have been spent ou farms near small towns, showed re eently, notwithstanding all this,that ho possessed a murderous spirit that will make him for all time a notable figure in the list of cold blooded human slay ers. As a result of his insane desire to kill, a wife, grandmother and uncle met instant death, while his father-inlaw is fatally wounded aud Harvey's only six-months-old baby is crippled for life. In addition to this the murderer shot hirmelf in the mouth and eye and lay down beside his dead wife to die, but such a fute was not his good fortune, as he will not die from his injuries. One theory for the awful tragedy is that Harvey had no intention of murder, until his uncle took him to task for keeping the horse out late. Tkeas, when he killed his uncle, an in* sane streak seized him and the other murders were the consequence. However, U»is is only a suggestion us to what might have prompted the deed, and the real motive for the crime may never be known.

Not a vteatige of •wlpwam txt hot, of road or path, pojt.«7tri p( the smallest track or trail <sare such as'the wild goats made) was visible anywhere, and thus we became impressed with new emotions of jyQA4er &od awe,, in,'treating a soil where man lived not—where no human foot seemed to have trod and where only the hum of Insect Hfe stirred the solitude of that wild island of tbe South AtJaatlc. For a considerable distance we traversed flat ground that was covered with sedge' grass, > Interspersed by shrubs of bright green. Beyond this level,plain rose a serie? of ridges covered by trees, and those ridge* formed the first slope of the great mountain, which, was some thousand feet in height, and also of the great bluff we had first descried at sea, > ., • We fqund Alphonso to be tka largest of a group of threeislands. It is a mass,of rock nearly twelve miles in circumference. The other two are cavernous and inaccessible, and every approach to them 13 dangerous and dtfr ficult, „in copsequence of the teaming of the, sea about, them;,, BO that dor ing the weary days of pur sojourn there we made^no attempt to explore tkem., lest the longboat, in our ci.rcuwistaiioes a priceless property—might be ^d or dashed tp pieces. ., Hislop Informed me that he frafl read Boraewnere that in the month Marci£' '15t)6—the same year in >ol the great Columbus died—two adventurers of Spain or Portugal, named Trlstkn da, Cunha and Alphimso 4e Albuquerque, sailed for the tntftee on a voyage of discovery, witi, ,fourteen great caravels. During this expedition they itmnd three great islands, which tbie^ :namedj after'Tristan'da'^bunlia, and'el«ewhere three dth.e'rB. w*iich were named Alplronsb, who, after their fteet had been scattered by a great tempest, «a|4- ed A rough the Mozambique He discovered many sea i ^ £ 4 channels hitherto unknown *© the Portuguese or Spaniards, ana ultimately reached the Indies, of which he became Viceroy ror'tferaTnaru? the 'tiatno^ lie, and died in 1515, holding that cilice. It is very strange that afcroe lhat remote period no European country has turned these islands to -any^a^e-, count, as they do not lie -more than fifty league* from the general track of the shipping bound for the recast of Covomandet or the CWneae «#as, and Sn timie of war wtjukf fdrtn a useful and Important rendezvous lor a. *set. They lie exactly in thai poctkm of "It is our own property," -said Billy, "and may be useful when we have a fire to light" "Boy BUI, we have a better use for it than burning," said Tattooed Tom; " 'tis the matt for our signal-post, already made to hand, and we'll step it on the hilltop tomorrow." For that night we bivouacked under a large tree, the name and genus of which wcTe alike unknown to us. At times some were conversing, some slept, others lay waking and thinking, with the murmur of the shining sea close by in their ears; and I could see the stars ol the Southern Cross shining with wonderful brilliance at the verge ol the watery horizon. The novelty of OUT situation kept me lo«g awake, and with my head pillowc4 on a bun.dl* ol dry seaweed, with the sail t)f the long boat spread over us as an impromptu tent,and for protection from the dew, I lay in meditation -and full of melancholy thoughts eie sleep came vpon me, and with It eosrtnsed di.ame of the trarning ship, of my secluded home, and of **—-4i»e schoolboy spot, W« long remember, though there fottg torgot.* Again I -WAS at I&ton! Again I saw T3ie smooth green playing-fields alive with Ardent schoolboys in tbe merry stimtner sunshine, and 4gain I heard the clamor oT thetr young voices and the balls Tattling on bat and wickets; again I heard t£e pleasant green leaves rustle in'the tad woods of the Tudor times; or :agath I. was in the; *hady « ridges, which form the base of mountain, at every step rousing clouds of birds, especially a species of blackcock, and twice in the Jungle we cane upon the lair of wild boars oi great »lze and such ferocity of aspect that we were glad to shrink astern of Tattooed Tom, who carried the hatchet. This jungle was exceedingly difficult of penetration, owing to its density, the number of wild aloes, with creeping plantB, prickly pears and other tropical weeds, of what Kind I know not, twined about them, it was a literal wilderness of serrated grass blades, yellow gourds and great squashy pumpkins, like gigantic vegetable marrows, all woven into an inextricable network of leaves, tendrils and branches. In other places we had to force a passage through thickets of richly flowered shrubs and tall plants, with mighty leaves, the general greenery of the landscape being increased by the many runnels of fine Bpring water which poured down the fissures of the mountain into the plain we had left. By the sides of these runnels we frequently paused, and making a cup of a large leaf, filled it with the cool, limpid water that gurgled over the rocks, to quench our constant thirst; and for a time such cups were the only drinking vessels we had while on the island of Alphonso. At last we gained the summit of the mountain, and with mingled satisfaction and anxiety in our hearts, swept the horizon with eager eyes. Not a sail was in rfight! Far as our eyesight could reach around us in a mighty circle, rolled the waters of the Southern Atlantic, alsaoat tepid with heat, and pale and .quadrangles ^#hei»e kum of inany the 'jnonotbnoTis y poring &v,ex tbeiT studies fftottr through the mtillioned windows on the ambient air; and in my dreaming ear that "drowsy hum" ceemed jM&ngely to mingle -with the »chaflns eff the'surge upon "th1 unnum-_ 'bered pebbles* of the lonely shore dose I T .

Tom took off his shirt; and drawing from his pocket a piece of spunyaro. which a seaman is seldom without, he lashed his un-dergarment to the end of the etuddlng-eail boom, and by the aid of the hatchet and our hands, we scraped a hole sufficiently deep in which to erect the spar, and then Jammed it hard and fast with stones.

THE McCALL CO. to 146 W. 14th St.. New Y«rfc The people of Vermont seem pretty well satisfied with the workings of their prohibitory law. It has stood the test of forty-seven years, and the deputy secretary of state, who for forty years has been aergeant-at.arms of the legislature is reported as saying that "there is about as much liklihood of the legislature repealing that law as there is of passing a law to hang themselves." There are only thirty-five police officers in the entire state, not an open gambling house, and but two known houses of ill-fame. The total expense of all jails of the state for 1898 was le«s than $11,000, and less, than $120,000 was paid for all court expenses, including jails, sheriffs, criminal prosecutions, clerks, attorneys, judges, etc. The fines and costs collected in prosecuting violators of the prohibitory law have paid all expenses of pro secution and returned about $230,000 into the state treasury besides. The increase in population since prohibition went -into effect has been six per cent. Twenty-nine out of every one hundred inhabitants of Vermont have accounts in saving's bank's—more than one out of every family. In all the cities of the western half of the state where illicit liquor is ! said to be most plentiful, there is ' not a place where strangers can get j liquor without resorting to strategy, except at St. Albans, and one must make diligent inquiry there for the bars are all hidden in back rooms upstairs. These are a few Jacls_gailit^ed_by a N^w Voice reporter which prohibition^ vrorters will do well to "make A note, on." RUTH MAEIE DEXTER, a girl four years of age living at Milan, Mich., has commeuoed a $10,000 suit against Charles- Schmitt. a saloon keeper, and Fred Hasley and Henry Coe, his bondsmen, for of a statute to which Senator Hansbrough calls attention (see Corresponding Secretary's Notes) has much significance at this time. There aeqms to be no doubt in the mind of any member <»£ Congress as to the intent of the law. For indeed can auyone honestly question it, nor deny that our senators and representatives in voting for it intend to abolish liquor selling as a feature of the canteen or post exchange. In view of this fact even the brewers and the attorney-general himself must acknowledge that the employment of a civilian to sell beer in the canteen would be a violation of the spirit and purpose of the law. A STRONG resolution in condemnation of Attorney General Griggs for his interpretatior of the anticanteen law, and an appeal to President McKinley for the immediate exercise of his authority in the matter, was adopted by the congregation of llamline M. E. church at St. Paul, Minn., Rev. Peter Clare, pasjkor, at the close of the regular services on April 23. Business Pointers.

Here is David, the psalmist, with Uw forefinger of bis right hand against his temple, the door shut against the World, engaged ia contemplation. And it would be well for us to take the 6ame posture often, closing !t,he door against the world, while we sit down in sweet solitude to contemplate. In a amall island off the coast of Nova Scotia I once passed a Sabbath in delightful solitude, fox I had resolved that I would hav* one day of entire quiet before I entered upon autumnal work. I thought to have spent the day in laying out plans for Christian work; but instead of that it became a day of tender reminiscence. I reviewed my pastorate; I shook brands with an old departed friend, whom I shall greet again when the curtains of life are lifted. The days of my boyhood came back, and I was ten years of age. and I was eight, and I was five. There was but one house on the island, and yet from Sabbath daybreak, when the bird-chant woke me, until the evening melted into the Bay of Fundy, from shore to shore there were tea thousand memories, and the groves were ahum with voices that had long ago ceased. Youth is apt too much to spend all its time in looking forward. Old age is apt too much to spend all its time in looking backward. People in mid life and on the apex look both ways. It would be well for us, I think, however, to spend more time in reminiscence. By the constitution of our nature we spend most of the time in looking forward. And the vast majority of this audience live not so much in the present as in the future. I find that you mean to make a reputation, you mean to establish yourself, and the advantage* that you expect to achieve absorb a great deal of your time. But I Bee £Q harm iii( this, if it does not make you discontented with the present, or disqualify yoii for existing duties. Perhaps you were brought up In the country. You stand now today in memory under the old free. You1 clubbed its fruit that was not quite ripe, because you couldn't wait any longer. You hear the brook, .rambling along over the pebbles. You step again into the furrow where your father in his shirt sleeves shouted to oxen. 7r-i frighten the swal- j It is not jufieq—ud/ sdi>i>x^3ed that men who are severe, Judicial; and cxiticafare the intellectual superiors of others who are lenient, kindly and charitable. The latter are beloved, it la true, btrt-tfee termerare feared and respected as having a higher, standard, and perhaps more strength of mind and force of character. Yet it is safe to say that in the generality of cases the exact opposite of this is the truth. It requires very little knowledge and very little intelligence to find fault. An. obtuse, supercilious woman, wio evidently thought she was a lady, was trying the patience of an old German florist while making her selection of cf flowers for Easter. The colleCton did not suit her, and after mere or lesa of unpleasant comment and criticism, the old man becanvs impatient, and delivered the reb.uke'-«fre nee^dtf, *Obot madam, I make net de flowe*. ^ God does not'a«>Jfte bow:I will,:'J)aI><,tkem.

Prof. A. W. Small is an optimist Nevertheless he1 things thct he sees clouds on the social horizon already bigger than a man's hand.

A "grim trifre* dy of combinations! Or rather a philosophical primer, that dense* in a homely way the antagonisms that will b frcu tLe rafte;s~bf ...he barn, and take Just one egg, and silence your conscience by saying they won't miss It. You take a drink again out of the very bucket that the old well fetched up. You go for the cows at night, and find them wagging their heads through the bars. Ofttimes in the dusty and busy streets you wish you were home again on that cool grass, or in the wheat-carpeted hall of the farmhouse, through which there was the breath of new-mown, hay or the blossom of buckwheat. You may have In your windows now beautiful -plants and flowers brought from across the seas, but aot one of them stirs in your soul so much charm and memory as the old ivy and the yellow sunflower that stood sentinel along the garden walk, and the forget- me-nots playing hide and seek 'mid the long grass. The father who used to come In sunburnt from the fields, and sit down on the door sill and wipe the gweat from his* brow may have gone to his everlas^Hig rest. The mother, who used to siti-'at the door a little bent over, cap and spectacles on, her face mellowing.with the vicissitudes of many years, may have put down her gray head on the pillow in the valley; but forget that home you never will. • ' Have you thanked God for it?

Have you kept those vows? Have you been a backslider? God help you! This day kneel at the foot of mercy and start again for heaven. Start today as you started then. I rouse your soul by that reminiscence. But I must not spend any more of my time in going over the advantages of your life. I Just put them all In one great sheaf, and I top them up in your memory with one loud harvest song, such as the reapers sing. Praise the Lord, ye blood-bought immortals on earth! Praise the Lord, ye crowned spirits of heaven! But some of you have not always had a smooth life. Some of you are now in the shadow. Others had their troubles years ago, You are a mere wreck of what you once were. I must gather up the sorrows of your past life; but how shall I do it? You say that is impossible, as you have had so many troubles and adversities. Then I will take two, the 'first trouble and the last trouble. As when you are walking in the street, and there has been music in the distance, you unconsciousfy find yourselves keeping step to the music, so when you started life your very IJfe was a musical timebeat. The air was full of Joy and hilarity; with the bright, clear oar you made the boat skip; you went on, and life grew brighter, until, after a while, suddenly a voice from heaven said, "Halt!" and quick as the sunshine you halted; you grew pale, you confronted your first sorrow. You had ho idea that the flush on your child's cheek was ah unhealthy flush. You said It can't be anything serious. Death in slippered feet walked round about the cradle. You flid not hear the tread; but after a while the truth flashed on you. You walked tbe floor. Oh, If' you could, with your strong, stout hjand, have wrenched that child from the destroyer. You went to your room, and you said, "God, save my child! God, Eav'e my child!" The world seemed going out in darkness. You said: 5*1 can't bear it! I can't bear it!*' You felt as if you cOdld hot put the long lashes over the bright eyes, never to see them again Bparkle. Oh,'if you could have taken that little one In yotrr arms, and with it leaded the grave, how gladly you would haVe"1 done it!

BECAUSE THE HOUSEWIFE DIDN'T USE SAPOLIO WAR NOTES, recent engagement at St. Totnas Gen. Luna, of the rebels, was dangerously wounded in tbe shoulder by a bullet Just before the battle pf St. Totnas, Oen. Luna* when he &aw that an engagement* with our troops was inevitable, sent back to Gen. Mascar do for reinforcements. Mascardo's reply was that he would take orders from no one but A^uinaldo. This detlanee so infuriated Luna that, in spite of the impending conflict with the common enemy, he took 1,SOO of kit soldiers and mado a lorce march to Iiaeolor, intent on chastising1 his com* rade in arms, and but for the timely interference of Aguinaldo a civil war between the two rival generals would certainly have taken place,, as both were actually drawn up in battle array when Aguinaldo interfered. Tbe continued absence of yellow fever from Havana astonishes even the sanitary department. Resident physicians believe that the steps taken since American occupation have made it possible that the disease may be checked for a short time, and look^for-_ warcHo a summer of comparative immunity from yellow fever. Medical practitioners, hoaevor, believe that some cases will develop be for? June. The secretary of war has received a cable from Gen. Otis at Manila, saying that it is inadvisable on account of sanitary conditions, to send to the U. S. the bodrvs of any mare of the troops who lost their lives in the Philippines until after the close of the r^my sea* son, and the cold weather sets in. The recommendation of Gen. Otis has beet approved by the secretary of war. Cuba has been provided with a sew flag by the, U. $. government, designed for Cuban-ownei vessels engaged in coastwise trade. The now ensign consists merely of a blue field with a white union. Tlie vessels which will fly this flag were formerly Spanish. Army officers in Cuba are complaining that their duties there have become over-arduous on account of the insufficient number of commissioned officers, who are available for service throughout the- island. Gen, MacArtbur is lying in wait at San Fernando for fresh troops, and Gen. Luna is massing'his army east of the railway, bringing up troops by trainloads in sight of the Americas lines. The latest from Manila in to the effect that even Afruinaldo's partisans are tired pf hostilities, but a recent meeting of the Filipino congress lacked a quorum, hence no action was taken. The navy department will send three of the large transports to Manila to assist in returning the volunteers to tb United States.

By QTLBERTE HOLT. U S I N B S S had brought him to his nathe town in the sunny south. He was in haste that his mission should be concluded 30 that he might get away Trom "tfie lage. The very beauty of its fragrant spring dress saddened him. ; In a timid, hesitating way he bad made a few inquires for old friends, but the answer was ever the same. War had scattered most of the old families. Those alone remained who slept In the peaceful cemetery in the dip which formed a vale at the bend in the river. "And the Ralstons?" All were gone. ,Ot the impetuous, high spirited family, only Miss Erma was still alive. The Ralston b o y s - four of thenvMay in soldierfe* graves beside<thfe(f gaitoxr*'father. Mrs. Ralston had seen her brave boys brought horn dead one by one. But she -gave them for her country's cake, gladly, but *er -heart was slowly breaking. She did not long survive her huabaod. "Did Miss Erma «tifl live at Ironwood?" No. The old plantation was desolate &nd Miss Ralston lived in a little white cottage down fte road; the one .almost smothered in jasmine reid roses. The gentleman took his cane and with a bri»*;,irtftp,wtteh toM <rf state young blood still flowing in his veils, started down the street in the warm spring .sunshine. The square shoulders, erect head and firm tread all bespoke the soldier. As he came in sight of Miss Erma's house his steady walk became jerky and finally settled into an uncertain amble. For the fraction of a second he paused at her gate, then beat a hasty and confused retreat. Completely out of breath he drew up beside the high arched gate which opened upon the soldiers' last tenting ground. "By Jove! It's no use. I couldn't face her," and the old man mopped his brow. *'Whew, how her eyes did blaze! Facing a cannon is play to standing the fire of Erma's angry eyes." He leaned against the post The light, idled out o£ his face and he thought of that long away time when be and Erma had been lovers. And thea dune the war. How Quickly had followed that awful day when he went to, say farewell and she would not look at him. because he wore the hate* htoe. He tried to argue, tried to per- •u&de, but she would not listen. She was a southern girl—Cot Balaton's' daughter. If he fought toe south, he fought her and was her dead- !y foe, Was it not cruel enough that stood then en the low, wide steps, a slim, girlish figure clad in clinging white. Her cheeks were flushed and her mouth tremulous, but the chin was firmly set. All through the war he had carried in his heart the memory of her as she stood in the sunshine, framed by tne stately pillars of the gallery; while'he, with despair in his heart, but a dogged determination in his eyes, turned, when half way down the broad avenue of live oaks, and lifting his uni6n cap murmured, "God keep my southern sweetheart!" How often he recalled her words. He could almost hear them now. "Go. You are_a traitor. Ijiever want to see "your "face again." The old man shook his head cor* rowfuily.; No, $he would never forgive him, not even now after all these year8. Well, he would go back north on the morrow, so what matter? He and the Ralston boys had been college students together. He would pay a visit to their last resting place. He opened the gate and slowly made his way among the flower-covered mounds. When he reached the Ralston lot, he looked about him sorrowfully. He felt sadly desolate. He alone was left of all those merry, laughing fellows. Presently his eye wandered to a grave somewhat apart from the rest The scarcity of its flowers drew his attention to it. He wandered idly toward it, thinking, "Some poor friendleas chap.'' He started and tli^n dropped upon his knees in bis eagerness to read the sKnple inscription on the headstone. It ran: "MERRILL FREMONT." "Born 1S3S. Killed at Gettysburg, 1863." "Why, that's my name!" and the old man looked about him in a dazed manner as though for a moment he doubted his identity. "Yes. my name U Merrill Fremont and I was born in '38, but though I the dreadful war thottld^ienrive her of her lover, without cafiiag alt* to Ight agalnet laeteaf of for her? How clearly he could tee her aa she ••WHY. THAT'S MY NAME.** .was wounded I did not die at Gettysburg- A union soldier in a confederate graveyard. Ah. that accounted for the lack of memorial flowers/* and he smiled grimly. "But Tm not dead," and be thumped his cane vigorously upon the travel -path. He leaned his hands *on his stick and stood gating intently at his own /4Tt i»*t me—but U Is some naloa soldier buried for me. and he shall | have some flowers. Yea. Ill decorate a y own gran,*' aad wit* a I chuckle Merrill Fremont started briskly down the path. As he neared the gate it opened, and a tall, slender figure clad in black entered, followed by an old negro fairly staggering under the weight of magnolia blossoms. Something familiar in the two figures made Fremont pause. But they did not notice him. The lady turned up a side path and walked quietly toward the end of the grounds Merrill had just quitted, followed more slowly by the old serving man. Merrill faced about and watched them. He was certain now that the woman was Erma. He expected her to enter the Ralston lot, but she only paused, "waved her hand toward the flower-hidden graves, said something to her.aU^ndant and passed on her way until Ehe stood beside the* undecorated gjave. Fremont rubbed his eyes and stared. The lady motioned to negro to lay his fragrant burden down. Merrill hastened up the path. He was near enough to hear the well-remembered voice say, "You may go, Uncle Sorney; I'll arrange the flowers myself." The servant shuffled away down the path he had come, while his mistress knelt to place the blossoms. Merrill Fremont paused, hat in hand. Erma believed him dead and forgave him. How would it be when she found him alive/ He stood in dumb uncertainty. She was his only love and to lose her again would be more terrible than not to have found her. Dead, she surely loved him; her action proved i t Would he not better go away in the certainty of that love than, by staying, perhaps revive the old bitterness which his return to her unharmed while all her beloved family lay dead, might recall? He was about to retreat. It was too late, the lady turned and saw him. He stood awkwardly before her. She looked at him in puzzled Inquiry. Suddenly he cried out "Erma." She moved back a pace in surprise at being so addressed by an apparent stranger. . Once his tongue loosened Merrill gave her no chance to escape. In quick, incoherent words he poured forth the mistaken report of his death, his love, his sorrow for her grief, and at last aa earnest plei that she would prove more kind than in the past. As she listened a delicate flush crept into the lady's pale, sweet face./ The shadow that rested in the deep, blue eyes lifted. She looked searchingly at the man before her. Could this really be her young lover, returned in the guise of this impetuous elderly man? She had neve rthought of him save as the soldier boy who/had gone away at her bidding. At last she seemed to understand. For a moment the comers of the lovely mouth forgot to droop. J By the light of memory the man and woman grew1 young again. When hi* torrent of words nnssert she stood silent tor some momentajtnd thea held out her hand as she softly said:/ e hanjah our anger tower we Iwwi the gsayea of 01 • greet empire and little miafe 1 WAR NOTE;;, The civilian member of the U. S. Philippine commission are favorable to the meeting with a Filipino com* mission which was suggested on behalf of Aguinaldo, by Lieut. Reyes, of the staff of (Jen. Gregory del Filar, who came to Gen. Law ton under a flag of truce bearing the proposal. It Is thought by the American commissioners that the idea may have resulted from a recent meeting of the so-called Filipino congress at San Isidro. Definite information on the point, however, cannot yet be obtained; though the local Filipino committee which is in close communication with the leaders of the rebellion, is doing its utmost to secure peace. The "tinclad" gunboats Lapruna de Bay and Cavadonjja and a launch uuder Capt. Grant, ran into a nest of insurgents, concealed in the brush on both sides of the Itio Grande river, three miles above Calumpit, on tiie 14th, and were received with a heavy volley at short range. A sergeant belonging to the Utah battery was killed and one private was wounded. Opening with the rapid fire guns, the Americans killed 20 of the natives and wounded several others, filling the jungle with a hail of shot for half an hour, until the enemy lied. Gen. Lawton succeeded in capturing San Isidro. the rebels new capital, on the 17th, without the loss of a single man, and only had two slightly wounded. The enemy's loss was 20 killed, 13 wounded, 3 taken prisoners and many rifles lost. After the rebels were compelled to leave the capital they retreated into the mountains. Our army and the gunboats are now ascending the Rio Grande, in persult of the enemy. Ten members of Maj.-Gen. Lawton's band of scouts, under W. M. Young, the old Indian fighter, entered the town of San Miguel, about 15 miles north of Norzagaray, not aware of what place it was. They found 203 Filipinos there, but the rebels taking the scouts for the advance of Gen.' Lawton's army, lied, after firing a few shots. ' Young and another scout were wounded and were removed to Manila. The war department says there are no discharged troops in Porto Rico to which the government is indebted. A larjre number of men who had enlisted in the regular array for the war with Spain asked to be discharged and in lieu of being- returned to the United States by the government to receive travel pay in money, which was done. They have probably grown homesick and want to return. A large number of natives, a majority of them being families with their household goods, are returning daily to the towns inside the Am*ericaTnlInes7~ Same of the richer Filipinos are going to Manila while the laborers are resuming work in the rice fields. A special from Washington says that within a few weeks a fully organized battalion of Porto eXicaos, wearing Uncle Sam's uniform, will be performing duty on their native island under the direction of American officers.

"To do some shopping" she sweetly said. "Aml where" I asked in glad surprise Oh, anywhere where they advertise." There are 20 patients in Ann Arbor, waiting to get beds in the University hospital and 20 more applications by mail. Both this and the homeopathic hospital will be kept open during the summer. The war department has notified the University that there is a demand for general teachers in Porto Rico, and that the salaries attached are $1,260 per year. But there is a proviso that the applicants must know how to speak the Spanish. The people of Dexter are being solicited for telephone stook.

That He Might Have Ridden AU the Way Up. Pittsburg News: Though elevators are not new, they are new to a whole lot ot persons. An old fellow from somewhere is the client of a lawyer who recently remomd his office from the first floor of an old building in Grant street to the thirteenth, floor of a modern office building. The old fellow came in to see him, and after much trouble found the building. His legs were stiff and his wind was short, but he started up the stairs. By the time he reached the fourth floor he declared that he would take his business out of the hands of the man who was so unreasonable as to live so high. He took a long rest at the fifth floor and would have turned back if it wasn't that he wanted to pay off his lawyer that very day and retain one with an office on the ground floor. At the seventh floor he gave it up. He couldn't go any higher. He sat on the steps and watched the elevators going up and down and noticed that they were well filled. He reasoned that since scarcely any person used the stairway the fare on the elevators could not be high, and he could hard- 1: be accused of extravagance if he i e the rest of the way, since there would be no necessity for him to come to the building again. So he hailed one of them. "How much'll you charge to take me to the thirteenth floor?" he asked the young man who seemed to be In charge. "Get in here!" ordered the young fellow, as he seized him by the coat, pulled him into the car and started up. "I can't stand there answerln" fool questions all day. Thirteen. Out you go! Move lively, now!" "How much?" asked the old chap, untying the shoe string that held his wallet. But the door was slammed in his face and the car disappeared. "Thunderation!" exclaimed the old fellow. "If I'd a known that I nrrht a *=Tole a r\dn °1' the wav up!" His lawyer explained the matter to him, and. while the old man thought it was mighty handy, he said it looked a good deal like Imposing on people to be riding up and down free all of the time.

How I loved him and watched over him. He was my all, my ideal, my only boy. I would keep him away from the saloon. I hid him as it were, but the time came when he would not be watched over by his mo the r any more, and in an evil hour he was tempted to take the first glass and came home to me one night with the smell of liquor on his breath. My poor brain was crazed and I knew not what I did. I went from saloon to saloon asking who had given the hellish poison to my boy, but they only laughed at me. Th6 saloon keeper had given the devil one more soul in return for a few dollars. They called me crazy. My boy whom I idolized killed a man in a drunken brawl in a saloon, and was sent to the state prison for lifd. They tell me he is dead. They say I am crazy. Do you wonder that I am crazy?

"TUB SUN PUT OUT," LATT SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. Text: **Th« Sun Shall Be T«rned Into barknc**"—Act* S> to— KUlftg Hum of the World Is the by Louis KlOpacfc.) Christianity is tus riBlug sun of our time, and men have tried with the uprolling vapors of scepticism, and tne smoke of their blasphemy, to turn the sun into darkness. Suppose the areaan/ jeb of malice and horror should be let loose a little while, and, be allowed to extinguish and destroy the sun in the natural heavens! They would take the oceans from other worlds, and jiour them on the luminary of the planetary system, and the waters go hissing down amid the ravines and tne caverns, and there is explosion after explosion, until there are only a few peaks cf Ore le& in the sun, and these are cooling down and going out until the vast continents of flame are reduced to a small acreage of fire, and that whitens and coo!s off until there are only a few coals left, and these are whitening and going out until there is not a spark left In all the mountains of ashes, and the valleys of ashes, and the chasms of ashes. An extinguished sun! A dead sun! A burled sun! Let all worlds wall at the stupendous obsequies. Of course, this withdrawal of the solar light and heat throws our earth into a .universal chill, and the tropics become the temperate, and the temperate becomes the arctic, and there are frozen rivers, and frozen lakes, and frozen oceans. From Arctic and Antarctic regions the inhabitants gather in toward the center, and find the equator as the poles. The slain forests are piled up into a great bonfire, and around them gather the shivering villages and citites. The wealth of the coal mines is hastily poured Into the furnaces, and stirred into rage of combustion, but soon the bonfires begin to lower, and the furnaces begta to go out, and the nations begin to die. Cotopaxl, Vesuvius, Etna, Stromboli, California geysers, cease to smoke, and the ice of hail storms re- •maiss unmelted in%their crater. All the flowers have breathed their last breath. "Ships wtth sailors frozen at the mast, and helmsmen frozen at the wheel, and. passengers frozen ,1$ the cabin; all natloaa dying, first at th€ North and then at the South* Child frosted and dead in -tfce cradle.

Hemisphere shacfcled to hemisphere by chains of Ice. Univer«al . Novte Zembla. The earth an ice-floe grinding against other ice-floes. The archangels of malice and horror have done their work, and now they may take their thrones of glacier, and look down upon the ruin they have ^"wrought. What the destruction of the gun in the natural heavens would b e - t o our physical earth, the destruction of Christianity would he to the •moral world. . The sun turned Into darkness] Infidelity In our time Is considered s great joke. There are people who rejoice to hear Christianity caricatured, and to hear Christ assailed with quibble and quirk and misrepresentation and badinage and harlequinade. I propose today to take Infidelity and Atheism out of the realm of jocularity into one of tragedy, and show you what infidels propose and what, if they are succesful, they will accomplish. There are those in all our communities who would like to see the Christian religion overthrown, and who say the world would be better without i t I want to show you what is the end of this road, and what is the terminug of this crusade, and what this world will be when Atheism and Inudelity, have triumphed over it, if they can. I say, if they can. I reiterate It, if they can. In the first place, it will be the complete and unutterable degradation of womanhood. I will prove It by facts and arguments which no honest man will dispute. In all communities and cities and states and nations where the Christian religion has beer* dominant, woman's condition hag beta ameliorated and improved, and she is deferred to and honored in a thousand things, und every gentleman takes off ste hat before her. If your associations bave been good, you know that the name of wife, mother, daughter, suggest gracious surroundings. You know there Ere no better schools and seminaries In this-country t&an the seboois and svuinarles lor ouswyoiinr Utfftet. know thjlt wbi!*jl4priLn4sj!y Wif< justice № № l a f £ » n d ttht U Sut*a,JU£s« £•& oft Mow} <$pps*re t$s wit£ woman's <*»dltion in lands where Christianity feas made Hul*.

The Hindoo Bible makes It «*s«sa«#flil stt* ** outrage tot a woman to Ustci to music, or look out fit..tfc« window In the absence of her husband, and gives as a lawful ground for divorce a woman's beginning to eat before her husband has finished hiii meal. What mean \ho80 white bundles on the ponds and rivers in China in the morning? Infanticide following infanticide. Female children destroyed simply because they are female. Woman harnessed to the plow as an ps. Woman veiled and barricaded, and in all styles of cruel seclusion. Her birth a misfortune. Her life a torture. Her death a horror. The xutasionary of the Cross today in heathen lands preaches generally to two groups—a group of men who do as they please and Bit where they please; the other group, women hidden and carefully secluded in a side apartment, where they may hear the voice of the preacher, but may not be seen. No refinement No liberty. No hope for this life. No hope for the life to come. Ringed nose. Cramped foot. Disfigured face. Embruted soul. Now compare those two conditions. How far toward the latter condition that I speak of would a woman go it Christian influences were withdrawn and Christianity were destroyed? It is ony a question of dynamics. If an object be lifted to a certain point and net fastened there, and the lifting power be withdrawn, how long before that object will fall down to the point from which it .started? It will fall down, and it will go still further than the point from which it started. Christianity has lilted woman up from the very depths of degradation almost to the skies. If that lifting power be withdrawn she falls clear back to the depth from which she was resurrected, not going any lower, because there is no lower depth. And yet, notwithstanding the fact that the only salvation of woman from degradation and woe is the Christian religion, and the only influence that has ever lifted her in the social scales is Christianity—I have read that there are women who reject Christianity. I make no remark in regard to those pereons. In the silence of your own soul make your observations. A world without a head, a universe without a king. Orphan constellations. Fatherless galaxies. Anarchy supreme. A dethroned Jehovah. An assassinated God. Pa:rieid«, regicide, deictde. That is what they mean. That is What they will have. If they can. I say, If they can. Civilization hurled back into semi-barbarism, and semi-barbarism driven back into Hottentot savagery. The wheel of progress turned the other way and turned toward the dark ages. The clock of the centuries put back two th&usand years. Go back, you Sandwich Islands, from your schools, and~lr^rF7our~goth?ge8-ftfi<l from your, reformed condition to what yon were in 1820, when the missionaries fir3t came. Call home the five hundred missionaries from India, and overthrow their two thousand schools, where they are trying to educate the heathen, and scatter the one hundred and forty thousand little children that they have gathered out cf barbarism Into civilization. Obliterate all the work of Dr. Duff in India, of David Abeel in China, of Dr. King in Greece, of Judson in Burmah, of David Brainerd amid the American aborigines, and send home the three thousand missionaries of the Cross who are toiling in foreign lands, toiling for Christ's sake, toiling themselves into the grave. Tell these three thousand men of God that they are of no use. Send home the medical missionaries who are doctoring the bodies as well as the souls of the dying nations. Go home, London Missionary society. Go home, American Board of Foreign Missions. Go home, ye Moravians, and relinquish back into darkness and squalor and death the nations whom ye have begun to lift. Oh, my friends, there has never been such a nefarious plot on earth as that which infidelity and atheism have planned. We were shocVed a few years • ago because of the attempt to blow up the Parliament Houses In London; but if Infidelity &sd atheism succeed In their attempt they will dynamite a workl. Let them have their full way and this world will be & habitation of three rooms—a habitation with just three rooms; the one a madhouse, another a lazaretto, the other a pandemonium. These icfidel bands of music have only just begun their concert— yea, they hare cmiy been stringing their instruments. I today put before you their whole programme from beginning unto close. In th«v theater tie tragedy comes first -and the fa*e« afterward; but in this infidel draft* of death the farce come3 first and the tragedy afterward. And in the former, and infidels laugh and mock, t in the latter God himself -will laugh asock. He says so. "I will hutgb their calamity and mock when their ear cometh." i From such a chasm of Individual, national, world-wide ruin, stand back, young mefl, stand bad* from that h**m! You see the practical drift of y sermon:' I want you to know that road lead*. Stand back thai cfc**m of Ing to come (you and I may not lire to see it, but it will cone, Just M certainly as tfaert is « God. it will come) when the Infidels and the atheists who openly and out and out and aboVe-board preach and praetlce" iotldellty and atheism will be conside> ed as criminals against society, as they are. now criminals against God. Society will push out the leper, and tho wretch with soul gangrened and ichorous and vermin-covered and rotting apart with his beaatlaljty, will be leff to die in the ditch, and be denied decent burial, and men will come with spades and cover up the carcase where it falls, that \K poison not the air, and the only texfln all the Bible appropriate for the funeral sermon will be Jeremiah 22:19: "He Khali be buried witii the burial of an aas." At the beginning God said: "Let there be light," and light was.and light is, and light shall be. So Christianity is rolling on, and it i3 going to warm all nations, and all nations are to bask in its light. Men may shut the windowblinds so they cannot see it, or they may smoke the pipe cf speculation until they are shadowed under their own vaporing; but the Lord God is a sun! This white light of the Go3psl made up of all the beautiful colors of earth and heaven—violet plucked from amid the spring grass, and the indigo of the southern jungles, and the blue of the skies, and the green of the foliage, and the yellow of the autumnal woods, and the orange of the southern groves, and the red of the sunsets. All the beauties of earth and heaven brought out by this spiritual spectrum. Great Britain is going to take all Europe for God. The United States are going to take America for God. Both of them together will take all Asia for God. All three of them will take Africa for God. "Who art thou, oh great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain." "The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." Hallelujah, amen! FAGCINQ AT EATON. It Still ExUU, Bat In a Greatly Modifled Form. The system of fagging exists at Eton, as In nearly all large public echools, but It is practiced now In a much modified form. As shortly described In the Chautauquan. it may bs said to- be the acknowledged right of elder boys to exact from the younger boys (their fags) certain servicesmenial and otherwise. Its origin ' is obscure; It may have arisen as au economy, when schools were poor, as It must save expense and labor for the younger boy3 to black boots, make tea and boll eggs for the older ones. But Eton is now exceedingly wealthy, Its endowments being nearly 21,000 pounds & year, and there can be no__Egason_wJiy, because a lad I3 young, he should have^ to wall trprm—hiaschoolmate as his servant and be ejtp<< sc<l to the chance o( very great tyranny. Jn the latter end of the last century* the fagging at Eton was so cruel and excessive that it Is reported that often a young fag would be kept, up waiting on hi* master till 1 o'clock in the morning, and being fror? lack of time prevented from getting his own lessons for the next day, would receive a thrashing from the master for the omission. Many instances of heartrending bullying and cruelty practiced by the big boys on their fags were reported, but fagging at Eton haa been greatly reformed. This and many other improvements were ma'nly due to the exertions of Dr. Hawtrey, who was head master from 1834 to 1853, and who, in conjunction with Provost Hodgson, wrought most of the changes which have given the college its present staging. Before Dr Hawtrey's appointment tho number of the pupils had fallen to something under 200, the moral* and tone of the school were exceedingly low and terrible abuses had crept in. Dr. Hawtrey at once commenced the work of reforms, sweeping inuovations were made and new regulations instituted; the tone of the school improved and the numbers rose to 777, the highest yet attained.

I advocated a return to the simpler habits of our ancestors. "Yes," he said, "living on parched peas sounds very fine In a book.

CHAPTER XXIX.—(Continued.) The wild boara that lurked In the broods baSed o»r >«8orts for a long time. By the edgt*ofthe ^tehet we possessed I fashioned for my own use a kind of $p9**. about six teet long, fcewn out of a piece of fine teak wood, which I/found upon the beach. This weapon I made and pointed with great care; and armed with It frequently fey in watch for the sealions, but without success. On the shore, at this season, when the, sunshine was reflected from the sloping faces of the volcanic rocks and from the surface of th«; sea, the heat was beyond all description—intense, breathless and suffocating, so that the - lungs would collapse painfully in the difficulty of respiration. To breathe was like attempting it at the mouth of a newly-opened furnace, and so I usually retired inland and sought the cool solitude of the deep thickets, or wandered through groves, of solemn, impressive and majestic old trees; for some were there so old that they must have cast the shadows of their foliage on Alphonso Ue Albuquerque or Tristan da Cunha and their bearded followers. How many ocean storms had swept their leaves into the waste of waters since then! We had now been fl^o days on the island without a sail being seen, though more than half our time was spent in watching the horizon; and so Tom Lambournes' old shirt still waved in vain from the boom-end on the mountain-top. On the fifth day, however, to our surprise, the signal was no longer visible, so we supposed that a gust of wind haM overthrown it in the night. Lambourne, Carlton and Probar stnrted for the mountain-top to restore it, while Hlslop and I rambled into the woods, where we had a view" ©f the shining sea to the westward. The waves came in long rollers, ns there was a fresh breeze blowing from the west, and the foam rose white ana high on the tremendous bluffs of the Inaccessible Isles, as we named them. All the water between them was a sheet of sparkling and snowy froth, amid which, haj we been nearer, we should doubtless have seen the black heads of the seallona, as they sported in the spray and sunshine. On asking Hlslop how far he thought we were from the continents of Africa and South America, he replied, without hesitation: "We are about fifteen hundred miles from the mouth of the Rio de la Plata on the westward, and twelve hundred odd from the Cape of Good Hope on the east; but there la land nearer to us " . "Land nearer!" I reiterated. "There are the three isles of Tristan da Cunha, and about five hundred miles southwest of us a desolate rock called the Isle o;f Diego .Alvarez; and fortunate it is Indeed for us that we were not cast away there, as it yields only mossy grass and now,and then a few seals or sea-elephant* may be seen up* , on the reefs about it. Dut, Dick Rodr ney, does it not make one long to be afloat again, with a good ship underfoot, both tacks and the breeze^ too, aft?—a cloud of canvas, carrying the tare* masts into one whwv sea£ aatern r-the lower studding-sail booms rigged out and dipping, in the flying spray as she rolls from side to s i d e - does it not, I say, bring all this to jnind, when from here we can watch the wares that rose, perhaps, between the shores of Mexico, rolling in foam between these rocky isles? Do you remember Homer's description of the curling wave?" And without waiting my reply he began to recite from the Iliad with wonderful facility: "As on the hoarse, resounding shore, when blows the stormy west, The billowy tide comes surging wide, from ocean's dark blue breast; First in mid-sea 'tis born, then swells and rages more and more, And rolling on with snowy back, comes thundering near the shore; Then rears it crest, firm and sublime, and with tumultuous bray Smites the grim front of the ragged rock, and spits the briny 4>ray." How far Hlstop, in his classical enthusiasm might hare pursued his free translation, till we had all the deeds of Agamemnon and others on that tremendous day beCove 4kt walls of Troy, I cannot aty. had not a erashJag sound in the adjacent thick* routed and Alarmed us. We started «p and bad just time to conceal ounmlves behind the trunk of A trje* when * aerd of seven wild boars came plunging out of the thicket to 4rink at a raaMl wmJca towed toward the sea. : They were vnllfc* any of t i e swlnbut for our vague sensations of alarm we could have watched them with pleasure, BB they inserted their long, fierce snouts in the water that sparkled under the forest Ieave3. They were all broad-shouldered animals, with high crests and thick, bristly manes, and all were black in color or darkly brindled. Unlike those of the sty-fed hoga, to which we had been accustomed at home, their erected bristles shone like silver or polished steel in the rays of eunshine that fell through the waving branches, their eyes were flashing and clear, and their skins were all clean, as if washed for a show of prize pigs. Thin flanked, active and strong, they began to grunt and gambol, and to splash up the glittering water, .till suddenly they caught sight of us, and all fled, save one, a fierce old boar, which, after tearing up the grass with his hind feet, came resolutely forward, showing a pair of tusks that made me tremble for the calves of my legs if I ventured to run off, and still more for those of poor Hlslop, who was alike unable to escape or confront him. Fortunately I had my teakwood spear. While keeping a tree between me and the boar, he prepared for the offensive by whetting his terrible tusks against a stone and grunting hoarsely.^ Excited and bewildered, as be came on at a quick run, I charged my weapon full at him, and by the mercy of Providence, the point entered one of his fierce, glittering eyes, which made him rear up and recoil, while in his rage and pain the bristles on his ridgy back rose up like little blades of steel. "Into his throat with your spear!" cried Hlslop; but I anticipated the suggestion, for ere the words had left his lips I had buried—thrusting deep with all th? force that excitement and terror gave me—the pointed teakwood shaft down his red and gaping throat. Choking in blood, in foam and fury, the great boar writhed upon bis back, find In doing so tvitched from my hands the weapon, which still remained wedged in his throat and tongue, and rendered him almost powerless. I knew not what to do now, for if he snapped it through, and thus released f himself, we, or at feast I, would be lost. But as he lay ther« on his back and sides alternately, shorting, roaring and covering the grass with bloody froth, and tearing it by hla bristles, Hlslop sprang forward and though weak with many half-hea*ed wounds, drove a clasp-knife repeata^ly into the throat and stomach of the monster, which soon lay still enough. When it was quite dead I drew out my teakwood spear, and found the point almost uninjured, for I had hardened it in fire. We thrust two crooked branches through the tendons of the boar's hind legs, and by these drew it to our hut, which was about half a mile distant, there our prize caused great congratulation among our crew, and I obtained no little praise for performing so hardy a feat. Our return diverted for a time sotm* excitement and surprise which had been caused by the return of Tom Lambourne, Probart and Carlton froin the mountain top, with tidings that the studding sail boom had vanished, and that not a trace of it was to be fourid anywhere! CHAPTER XXX. A New Perplexity. The disappearance of the boom and of Tom's old striped shirt, which had waved from it like a banner, excited considerable speculation and something of alarm. If simply overturned by the wind, it must have lain where It fell; at all events, it could not have rolled far from the cairn, or pile of stones, in the center of which we had wedged it. By what agency had this dlsappearttce come to pass? That it was the work of wild animals could n<k for a moment be conceived; so tke,.event filled us with vague, but very alarming conjectare, With bis ka|cbet, Probart tfeuosrpenter cut down antt jpeparod a long and slender treo to f9ft?ace the lost boom on the top of the DevtTs mountain, as we now termed It; and while one portion of us assisted him in this, the other set about the eastun of some of the wild goats with which the woods abounded, as we were anxious to procure the milk of the female*, and the flesh of their kids. Thia.was A most arduous task, as they were so fleet of foot; afad -Vhen pursued, tear when in seardh 41' titos* bitter and astringent plants of which most dangerous pinnacles and V of reck that overhung the sea. In k places there grew a kind of wild labu r" num. and Hlslop did not fall to remind me that Theocritus described it as the favorite food of the goat. We often saw these agile quadrupeds spring, without pause, f*ar or Hesitation, frcm pinnacle to pinnacle, or from ledge to ledge of rock, where, had they missed footing, they must have fallen a thousand feet or more, either into the ocean on one side, or some ravine on the other, and there, perched far aloft, they would remain, looking at us quietly, and reminding me of the couplet: "High hung in air the hoary goat reclined, His streaming beard the sport c? every wind." By great industry, and the exertion of incredible labor and activity, we succeeded in capturing five, by isolating them from their flocks, and chasing them into chasms and corners from which they had no means of escape, and then we secured them by the running rigging of the long boat. Some of the females afforded milk, a rarity and nourishment to us who had been so lens at sea. The flesh of a kid we thought delicious, and lest we shculd tire of roasted and broiled, Jack Burnet, the ship's cook, contrived to boll some pieces of a goat in its own akin, stretched upon sticks, with a flre underneath, salt for a spice, and sliced pumpkin for vegetables. Of the hoins, when carefully scraped and cleaneri, we made very efficient drinking cups, In which our rum, duly mixed with water, was doled out to us by Hislop, the keeper of our provision store. The eggs of the sea- birds were a constant object of search, and being an expert climber, I frequently collected great numbers of those laid in the crevices of the rocks by the sea gull and storm-finch. Our life was one of perpetual exposure and daily activity. Though overpoweringly hot at noon, the atmosphere of the morning and evening was delightful, and, as these portions of the day were spent in hunting for food, the time passed rapidly, but Hislop'a chief fear was that if we were cot taken off by some ship before the rainy season set in, our discomfort and danger from agues would become very great. By the time we had been fourteen days on the island he was recovered so far as to be able to join me in making an exploration of it, or rather in walking all around it. Tb* circumferen'ce of the largest isle is ouiy four leagues, but its shores are so »v«ep and rocky in some places that traversing them proved a most ardu- On the eastern side we found a great cascade pouring from a brow of rock upon the beach. Toe latter was covered almost ersry/jjere by a broadleaved seaweed, the dark and slimy tendrils of which were several yards in length and we.re tormed by Hislpp "tho gigantic tijeus." So day after (Uy passed, and, amid our various means of procuring food, we never failed to keep a keen lookout to seaward to* a passing sail; but none came near taat lonely i3let of the southern sea. One mornieg I found there had drifted ashore near our but a mass of that mysterious substance, the origin of which has puzzled so many naturalists— ambergris. It must have weighed more than a hundred pounds, and when we threw seme of it into the flre it melted and diffused around a most agreeable perfume. This marine production, which is only to be found in the seas or on the shores of Africa and Brazil, is alleged by some to be a concretion formed In the stomach of the spermaceti whale. On the fifteenth morning after our landing a seaman named Henry Warren, who went to milk our goats, which bad been tethered to a largo tree near the hut, returned in haste to announce that the ropes which had secured them were cut, apparently by a sharp instrument—cut clean through —and that the goats, the capture of which had cost us so much labor, were gone. "Cut? By whom?" asked «vtry one. Before we had time to consider this, Hislop came out of the hut, and stated that one of our three bread bags had also been cut open, by a slash from a knife, apparently, and that several pounds of biscuits had been abstracted:' The strange alarm, and what was worse, the doubt of each other, which tbtse discoveries excited, were painful and bewildering. We examined the place wfeere the goats had been tethered, but could discover no traces of ieet, and nothing remained but the ends of the ropes (the long boat^ sheets and halliards) tied to the stem of a tree.

Gloves, in their first estate, are a somewhat expensive article of feminine dress, says Harper's Bazar. It is seldom good economy to purchase very cheap gloves, as they are liable to tear when putting on, to rip easily, or to develop somewhere a thin place which betrays one at an untimely moment. The frugal manager prefers to spend more upon her gloves at the outset and have them last longer and she makes up for the additional expense by taking care of this part of her wardrobe. When gloves are removed from the hand they should not he pulled off a finger at a time, but the wearer should take hold of them at the top and peel them off, so that the whole glove is wrongside out "when it leaves her hand. If there is any moisture about the glove, it IB well to leave it until it is entirely dry before turning it. Gloves require airing, just as other articles of dresB do. When perfectly dry, the careful woman turns her gloves, pulls them out lengthwise and lays them together as they were when she bought them In the store. If she is not expecting to wear them again for a few days she foldB them in tissue paper and lays them in her glove box. Those persons who are careful in these matters at no time lay aside a glove without first seeing that it is mended and entirely in order for the next time of wearing. All gloves Bhould, if possible, to some extent match the costume with which they are worn, and "while there are caprices from time to time which suggest the wearing of white or of black, or of some distinctly pronounced color in gloves, yet rio one goes amiss whose gloves do not make a false note in the effect of her toilet. s in the canfe of BhtMJi, 11 la a good plan, if one can, to have several pain ln use t t a time, the role applyii g. |p flove« as well as to shoes. The U stldlous woman carefully keeps her bed gloves by themselves, dons her second best for a shopping excursion or • daily walk, and preserves those which are even more worn for the market or the outdoor errands of the morning, or for the walk taken simply for health, when she dresses for comfort rather than for style. Gloves for driving and wheeling art thicker tan those for ordinary use, but equa - require care.- A glove may be spoiled \s to shape for all time bT heedless putting on when flrit worn. Chi \ who are always losing, their glo\ hould be taught to keep them in an . pointed place, and should tot trained to have no heedlessness in this matter.

By QTLBERTE HOLT. U S I N B S S had brought him to his nathe town in the sunny south. He was in haste that his mission should be concluded 30 that he might get away Trom "tfie lage. The very beauty of its fragrant spring dress saddened him. ; In a timid, hesitating way he bad made a few inquires for old friends, but the answer was ever the same. War had scattered most of the old families. Those alone remained who slept In the peaceful cemetery in the dip which formed a vale at the bend in the river. "And the Ralstons?" All were gone. ,Ot the impetuous, high spirited family, only Miss Erma was still alive. The Ralston b o y s - four of thenvMay in soldierfe* graves beside<thfe(f gaitoxr*'father. Mrs. Ralston had seen her brave boys brought horn dead one by one. But she -gave them for her country's cake, gladly, but *er -heart was slowly breaking. She did not long survive her huabaod. "Did Miss Erma «tifl live at Ironwood?" No. The old plantation was desolate &nd Miss Ralston lived in a little white cottage down fte road; the one .almost smothered in jasmine reid roses. The gentleman took his cane and with a bri»*;,irtftp,wtteh toM <rf state young blood still flowing in his veils, started down the street in the warm spring .sunshine. The square shoulders, erect head and firm tread all bespoke the soldier. As he came in sight of Miss Erma's house his steady walk became jerky and finally settled into an uncertain amble. For the fraction of a second he paused at her gate, then beat a hasty and confused retreat. Completely out of breath he drew up beside the high arched gate which opened upon the soldiers' last tenting ground. "By Jove! It's no use. I couldn't face her," and the old man mopped his brow. *'Whew, how her eyes did blaze! Facing a cannon is play to standing the fire of Erma's angry eyes." He leaned against the post The light, idled out o£ his face and he thought of that long away time when be and Erma had been lovers. And thea dune the war. How Quickly had followed that awful day when he went to, say farewell and she would not look at him. because he wore the hate* htoe. He tried to argue, tried to per- •u&de, but she would not listen. She was a southern girl—Cot Balaton's' daughter. If he fought toe south, he fought her and was her dead- !y foe, Was it not cruel enough that stood then en the low, wide steps, a slim, girlish figure clad in clinging white. Her cheeks were flushed and her mouth tremulous, but the chin was firmly set. All through the war he had carried in his heart the memory of her as she stood in the sunshine, framed by tne stately pillars of the gallery; while'he, with despair in his heart, but a dogged determination in his eyes, turned, when half way down the broad avenue of live oaks, and lifting his uni6n cap murmured, "God keep my southern sweetheart!" How often he recalled her words. He could almost hear them now. "Go. You are_a traitor. Ijiever want to see "your "face again." The old man shook his head cor* rowfuily.; No, $he would never forgive him, not even now after all these year8. Well, he would go back north on the morrow, so what matter? He and the Ralston boys had been college students together. He would pay a visit to their last resting place. He opened the gate and slowly made his way among the flower-covered mounds. When he reached the Ralston lot, he looked about him sorrowfully. He felt sadly desolate. He alone was left of all those merry, laughing fellows. Presently his eye wandered to a grave somewhat apart from the rest The scarcity of its flowers drew his attention to it. He wandered idly toward it, thinking, "Some poor friendleas chap.'' He started and tli^n dropped upon his knees in bis eagerness to read the sKnple inscription on the headstone. It ran: "MERRILL FREMONT." "Born 1S3S. Killed at Gettysburg, 1863." "Why, that's my name!" and the old man looked about him in a dazed manner as though for a moment he doubted his identity. "Yes. my name U Merrill Fremont and I was born in '38, but though I the dreadful war thottld^ienrive her of her lover, without cafiiag alt* to Ight agalnet laeteaf of for her?

Ill decorate a y own gran,*' aad wit* a I chuckle Merrill Fremont started briskly down the path. As he neared the gate it opened, and a tall, slender figure clad in black entered, followed by an old negro fairly staggering under the weight of magnolia blossoms. Something familiar in the two figures made Fremont pause. But they did not notice him. The lady turned up a side path and walked quietly toward the end of the grounds Merrill had just quitted, followed more slowly by the old serving man. Merrill faced about and watched them. He was certain now that the woman was Erma. He expected her to enter the Ralston lot, but she only paused, "waved her hand toward the flower-hidden graves, said something to her.aU^ndant and passed on her way until Ehe stood beside the* undecorated gjave. Fremont rubbed his eyes and stared. The lady motioned to negro to lay his fragrant burden down. Merrill hastened up the path. He was near enough to hear the well-remembered voice say, "You may go, Uncle Sorney; I'll arrange the flowers myself." The servant shuffled away down the path he had come, while his mistress knelt to place the blossoms. Merrill Fremont paused, hat in hand. Erma believed him dead and forgave him. How would it be when she found him alive/ He stood in dumb uncertainty. She was his only love and to lose her again would be more terrible than not to have found her. Dead, she surely loved him; her action proved i t Would he not better go away in the certainty of that love than, by staying, perhaps revive the old bitterness which his return to her unharmed while all her beloved family lay dead, might recall? He was about to retreat. It was too late, the lady turned and saw him. He stood awkwardly before her. She looked at him in puzzled Inquiry. Suddenly he cried out "Erma." She moved back a pace in surprise at being so addressed by an apparent stranger. . Once his tongue loosened Merrill gave her no chance to escape. In quick, incoherent words he poured forth the mistaken report of his death, his love, his sorrow for her grief, and at last aa earnest plei that she would prove more kind than in the past. As she listened a delicate flush crept into the lady's pale, sweet face./ The shadow that rested in the deep, blue eyes lifted. She looked searchingly at the man before her. Could this really be her young lover, returned in the guise of this impetuous elderly man? She had neve rthought of him save as the soldier boy who/had gone away at her bidding. At last she seemed to understand. For a moment the comers of the lovely mouth forgot to droop. J By the light of memory the man and woman grew1 young again. When hi* torrent of words nnssert she stood silent tor some momentajtnd thea held out her hand as she softly said:/ e hanjah our anger tower we Iwwi the gsayea of 01 • greet empire and little miafe 1 WAR NOTE;;, The civilian member of the U. S. Philippine commission are favorable to the meeting with a Filipino com* mission which was suggested on behalf of Aguinaldo, by Lieut. Reyes, of the staff of (Jen. Gregory del Filar, who came to Gen. Law ton under a flag of truce bearing the proposal. It Is thought by the American commissioners that the idea may have resulted from a recent meeting of the so-called Filipino congress at San Isidro. Definite information on the point, however, cannot yet be obtained; though the local Filipino committee which is in close communication with the leaders of the rebellion, is doing its utmost to secure peace. The "tinclad" gunboats Lapruna de Bay and Cavadonjja and a launch uuder Capt. Grant, ran into a nest of insurgents, concealed in the brush on both sides of the Itio Grande river, three miles above Calumpit, on tiie 14th, and were received with a heavy volley at short range. A sergeant belonging to the Utah battery was killed and one private was wounded. Opening with the rapid fire guns, the Americans killed 20 of the natives and wounded several others, filling the jungle with a hail of shot for half an hour, until the enemy lied. Gen. Lawton succeeded in capturing San Isidro. the rebels new capital, on the 17th, without the loss of a single man, and only had two slightly wounded. The enemy's loss was 20 killed, 13 wounded, 3 taken prisoners and many rifles lost. After the rebels were compelled to leave the capital they retreated into the mountains. Our army and the gunboats are now ascending the Rio Grande, in persult of the enemy. Ten members of Maj.-Gen. Lawton's band of scouts, under W. M. Young, the old Indian fighter, entered the town of San Miguel, about 15 miles north of Norzagaray, not aware of what place it was. They found 203 Filipinos there, but the rebels taking the scouts for the advance of Gen.' Lawton's army, lied, after firing a few shots. ' Young and another scout were wounded and were removed to Manila. The war department says there are no discharged troops in Porto Rico to which the government is indebted. A larjre number of men who had enlisted in the regular array for the war with Spain asked to be discharged and in lieu of being- returned to the United States by the government to receive travel pay in money, which was done. They have probably grown homesick and want to return. A large number of natives, a majority of them being families with their household goods, are returning daily to the towns inside the Am*ericaTnlInes7~ Same of the richer Filipinos are going to Manila while the laborers are resuming work in the rice fields. A special from Washington says that within a few weeks a fully organized battalion of Porto eXicaos, wearing Uncle Sam's uniform, will be performing duty on their native island under the direction of American officers.

Three young men from Porto Bico arrived at Ann Arbor, Friday to enter the University. They will spend the summer gaining a knowledge of English. "Ch, where are you going my pretty maid?" "To do some shopping" she sweetly said. "Aml where" I asked in glad surprise Oh, anywhere where they advertise." There are 20 patients in Ann Arbor, waiting to get beds in the University hospital and 20 more applications by mail. Both this and the homeopathic hospital will be kept open during the summer. The war department has notified the University that there is a demand for general teachers in Porto Rico, and that the salaries attached are $1,260 per year. But there is a proviso that the applicants must know how to speak the Spanish. The people of Dexter are being solicited for telephone stook. It is reported that over $4,000 has been sold, one lady investing $1,000 in shares.—Daily Argus.

That He Might Have Ridden AU the Way Up. Pittsburg News: Though elevators are not new, they are new to a whole lot ot persons. An old fellow from somewhere is the client of a lawyer who recently remomd his office from the first floor of an old building in Grant street to the thirteenth, floor of a modern office building. The old fellow came in to see him, and after much trouble found the building. His legs were stiff and his wind was short, but he started up the stairs. By the time he reached the fourth floor he declared that he would take his business out of the hands of the man who was so unreasonable as to live so high. He took a long rest at the fifth floor and would have turned back if it wasn't that he wanted to pay off his lawyer that very day and retain one with an office on the ground floor. At the seventh floor he gave it up. He couldn't go any higher. He sat on the steps and watched the elevators going up and down and noticed that they were well filled. He reasoned that since scarcely any person used the stairway the fare on the elevators could not be high, and he could hard- 1: be accused of extravagance if he i e the rest of the way, since there would be no necessity for him to come to the building again. So he hailed one of them. "How much'll you charge to take me to the thirteenth floor?" he asked the young man who seemed to be In charge. "Get in here!" ordered the young fellow, as he seized him by the coat, pulled him into the car and started up. "I can't stand there answerln" fool questions all day. Thirteen. Out you go! Move lively, now!" "How much?" asked the old chap, untying the shoe string that held his wallet. But the door was slammed in his face and the car disappeared. "Thunderation!" exclaimed the old fellow. "If I'd a known that I nrrht a *=Tole a r\dn °1' the wav up!" His lawyer explained the matter to him, and. while the old man thought it was mighty handy, he said it looked a good deal like Imposing on people to be riding up and down free all of the time.

I hid him as it were, but the time came when he would not be watched over by his mo the r any more, and in an evil hour he was tempted to take the first glass and came home to me one night with the smell of liquor on his breath. My poor brain was crazed and I knew not what I did. I went from saloon to saloon asking who had given the hellish poison to my boy, but they only laughed at me. Th6 saloon keeper had given the devil one more soul in return for a few dollars. They called me crazy. My boy whom I idolized killed a man in a drunken brawl in a saloon, and was sent to the state prison for lifd. They tell me he is dead. They say I am crazy. Do you wonder that I am crazy?

"TUB SUN PUT OUT," LATT SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. Text: **Th« Sun Shall Be T«rned Into barknc**"—Act* S> to— KUlftg Hum of the World Is the by Louis KlOpacfc.) Christianity is tus riBlug sun of our time, and men have tried with the uprolling vapors of scepticism, and tne smoke of their blasphemy, to turn the sun into darkness. Suppose the areaan/ jeb of malice and horror should be let loose a little while, and, be allowed to extinguish and destroy the sun in the natural heavens! They would take the oceans from other worlds, and jiour them on the luminary of the planetary system, and the waters go hissing down amid the ravines and tne caverns, and there is explosion after explosion, until there are only a few peaks cf Ore le& in the sun, and these are cooling down and going out until the vast continents of flame are reduced to a small acreage of fire, and that whitens and coo!s off until there are only a few coals left, and these are whitening and going out until there is not a spark left In all the mountains of ashes, and the valleys of ashes, and the chasms of ashes. An extinguished sun! A dead sun! A burled sun! Let all worlds wall at the stupendous obsequies. Of course, this withdrawal of the solar light and heat throws our earth into a .universal chill, and the tropics become the temperate, and the temperate becomes the arctic, and there are frozen rivers, and frozen lakes, and frozen oceans. From Arctic and Antarctic regions the inhabitants gather in toward the center, and find the equator as the poles. The slain forests are piled up into a great bonfire, and around them gather the shivering villages and citites. The wealth of the coal mines is hastily poured Into the furnaces, and stirred into rage of combustion, but soon the bonfires begin to lower, and the furnaces begta to go out, and the nations begin to die. Cotopaxl, Vesuvius, Etna, Stromboli, California geysers, cease to smoke, and the ice of hail storms re- •maiss unmelted in%their crater. All the flowers have breathed their last breath.

What the destruction of the gun in the natural heavens would b e - t o our physical earth, the destruction of Christianity would he to the •moral world. . The sun turned Into darkness] Infidelity In our time Is considered s great joke. There are people who rejoice to hear Christianity caricatured, and to hear Christ assailed with quibble and quirk and misrepresentation and badinage and harlequinade. I propose today to take Infidelity and Atheism out of the realm of jocularity into one of tragedy, and show you what infidels propose and what, if they are succesful, they will accomplish. There are those in all our communities who would like to see the Christian religion overthrown, and who say the world would be better without i t I want to show you what is the end of this road, and what is the terminug of this crusade, and what this world will be when Atheism and Inudelity, have triumphed over it, if they can. I say, if they can. I reiterate It, if they can. In the first place, it will be the complete and unutterable degradation of womanhood. I will prove It by facts and arguments which no honest man will dispute. In all communities and cities and states and nations where the Christian religion has beer* dominant, woman's condition hag beta ameliorated and improved, and she is deferred to and honored in a thousand things, und every gentleman takes off ste hat before her. If your associations bave been good, you know that the name of wife, mother, daughter, suggest gracious surroundings. You know there Ere no better schools and seminaries In this-country t&an the seboois and svuinarles lor ouswyoiinr Utfftet. know thjlt wbi!*jl4priLn4sj!y Wif< justice № № l a f £ » n d ttht U Sut*a,JU£s« £•& oft Mow} <$pps*re t$s wit£ woman's <*»dltion in lands where Christianity feas made Hul*.

The Hindoo Bible makes It «*s«sa«#flil stt* ** outrage tot a woman to Ustci to music, or look out fit..tfc« window In the absence of her husband, and gives as a lawful ground for divorce a woman's beginning to eat before her husband has finished hiii meal. What mean \ho80 white bundles on the ponds and rivers in China in the morning? Infanticide following infanticide. Female children destroyed simply because they are female. Woman harnessed to the plow as an ps. Woman veiled and barricaded, and in all styles of cruel seclusion. Her birth a misfortune. Her life a torture. Her death a horror. The xutasionary of the Cross today in heathen lands preaches generally to two groups—a group of men who do as they please and Bit where they please; the other group, women hidden and carefully secluded in a side apartment, where they may hear the voice of the preacher, but may not be seen. No refinement No liberty. No hope for this life. No hope for the life to come. Ringed nose. Cramped foot. Disfigured face. Embruted soul. Now compare those two conditions. How far toward the latter condition that I speak of would a woman go it Christian influences were withdrawn and Christianity were destroyed? It is ony a question of dynamics. If an object be lifted to a certain point and net fastened there, and the lifting power be withdrawn, how long before that object will fall down to the point from which it .started? It will fall down, and it will go still further than the point from which it started. Christianity has lilted woman up from the very depths of degradation almost to the skies. If that lifting power be withdrawn she falls clear back to the depth from which she was resurrected, not going any lower, because there is no lower depth. And yet, notwithstanding the fact that the only salvation of woman from degradation and woe is the Christian religion, and the only influence that has ever lifted her in the social scales is Christianity—I have read that there are women who reject Christianity. I make no remark in regard to those pereons. In the silence of your own soul make your observations. A world without a head, a universe without a king. Orphan constellations. Fatherless galaxies. Anarchy supreme. A dethroned Jehovah. An assassinated God. Pa:rieid«, regicide, deictde. That is what they mean. That is What they will have. If they can. I say, If they can. Civilization hurled back into semi-barbarism, and semi-barbarism driven back into Hottentot savagery. The wheel of progress turned the other way and turned toward the dark ages. The clock of the centuries put back two th&usand years. Go back, you Sandwich Islands, from your schools, and~lr^rF7our~goth?ge8-ftfi<l from your, reformed condition to what yon were in 1820, when the missionaries fir3t came. Call home the five hundred missionaries from India, and overthrow their two thousand schools, where they are trying to educate the heathen, and scatter the one hundred and forty thousand little children that they have gathered out cf barbarism Into civilization. Obliterate all the work of Dr. Duff in India, of David Abeel in China, of Dr. King in Greece, of Judson in Burmah, of David Brainerd amid the American aborigines, and send home the three thousand missionaries of the Cross who are toiling in foreign lands, toiling for Christ's sake, toiling themselves into the grave. Tell these three thousand men of God that they are of no use. Send home the medical missionaries who are doctoring the bodies as well as the souls of the dying nations. Go home, London Missionary society. Go home, American Board of Foreign Missions. Go home, ye Moravians, and relinquish back into darkness and squalor and death the nations whom ye have begun to lift. Oh, my friends, there has never been such a nefarious plot on earth as that which infidelity and atheism have planned. We were shocVed a few years • ago because of the attempt to blow up the Parliament Houses In London; but if Infidelity &sd atheism succeed In their attempt they will dynamite a workl. Let them have their full way and this world will be & habitation of three rooms—a habitation with just three rooms; the one a madhouse, another a lazaretto, the other a pandemonium. These icfidel bands of music have only just begun their concert— yea, they hare cmiy been stringing their instruments. I today put before you their whole programme from beginning unto close. In th«v theater tie tragedy comes first -and the fa*e« afterward; but in this infidel draft* of death the farce come3 first and the tragedy afterward. And in the former, and infidels laugh and mock, t in the latter God himself -will laugh asock. He says so. "I will hutgb their calamity and mock when their ear cometh." i From such a chasm of Individual, national, world-wide ruin, stand back, young mefl, stand bad* from that h**m! You see the practical drift of y sermon:' I want you to know that road lead*. Stand back thai cfc**m of Ing to come (you and I may not lire to see it, but it will cone, Just M certainly as tfaert is « God. it will come) when the Infidels and the atheists who openly and out and out and aboVe-board preach and praetlce" iotldellty and atheism will be conside> ed as criminals against society, as they are. now criminals against God. Society will push out the leper, and tho wretch with soul gangrened and ichorous and vermin-covered and rotting apart with his beaatlaljty, will be leff to die in the ditch, and be denied decent burial, and men will come with spades and cover up the carcase where it falls, that \K poison not the air, and the only texfln all the Bible appropriate for the funeral sermon will be Jeremiah 22:19: "He Khali be buried witii the burial of an aas." At the beginning God said: "Let there be light," and light was.and light is, and light shall be. So Christianity is rolling on, and it i3 going to warm all nations, and all nations are to bask in its light. Men may shut the windowblinds so they cannot see it, or they may smoke the pipe cf speculation until they are shadowed under their own vaporing; but the Lord God is a sun! This white light of the Go3psl made up of all the beautiful colors of earth and heaven—violet plucked from amid the spring grass, and the indigo of the southern jungles, and the blue of the skies, and the green of the foliage, and the yellow of the autumnal woods, and the orange of the southern groves, and the red of the sunsets. All the beauties of earth and heaven brought out by this spiritual spectrum. Great Britain is going to take all Europe for God. The United States are going to take America for God. Both of them together will take all Asia for God. All three of them will take Africa for God. "Who art thou, oh great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain." "The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." Hallelujah, amen! FAGCINQ AT EATON. It Still ExUU, Bat In a Greatly Modifled Form. The system of fagging exists at Eton, as In nearly all large public echools, but It is practiced now In a much modified form. As shortly described In the Chautauquan. it may bs said to- be the acknowledged right of elder boys to exact from the younger boys (their fags) certain servicesmenial and otherwise. Its origin ' is obscure; It may have arisen as au economy, when schools were poor, as It must save expense and labor for the younger boy3 to black boots, make tea and boll eggs for the older ones. But Eton is now exceedingly wealthy, Its endowments being nearly 21,000 pounds & year, and there can be no__Egason_wJiy, because a lad I3 young, he should have^ to wall trprm—hiaschoolmate as his servant and be ejtp<< sc<l to the chance o( very great tyranny. Jn the latter end of the last century* the fagging at Eton was so cruel and excessive that it Is reported that often a young fag would be kept, up waiting on hi* master till 1 o'clock in the morning, and being fror? lack of time prevented from getting his own lessons for the next day, would receive a thrashing from the master for the omission. Many instances of heartrending bullying and cruelty practiced by the big boys on their fags were reported, but fagging at Eton haa been greatly reformed. This and many other improvements were ma'nly due to the exertions of Dr. Hawtrey, who was head master from 1834 to 1853, and who, in conjunction with Provost Hodgson, wrought most of the changes which have given the college its present staging. Before Dr Hawtrey's appointment tho number of the pupils had fallen to something under 200, the moral* and tone of the school were exceedingly low and terrible abuses had crept in. Dr. Hawtrey at once commenced the work of reforms, sweeping inuovations were made and new regulations instituted; the tone of the school improved and the numbers rose to 777, the highest yet attained. A -ffhorestu Story. Bret Harts works away quietly in London, aud seems to like the town, although the climate can hardly bear comparison with that of California, Th* effete luxury of the capital appears to suit him better than the rigors of the backwoods. I was speaking with him once on this subject, writes Robert Barr in the Philadelphia Post, and upholding the rigid life Henry Thoreau had led at Walden pond, as compared with the luxurious surroundings of many modern authors. I advocated a return to the simpler habits of our ancestors. "Yes," he said, "living on parched peas sounds very fine In a book. When I visited Emerson I was astonished to find how close Walden pond was to the Emerson homestead, sod I commented on this. I had imagined tha£ the pond was away out in the wilderness, miles from any human habitation.

Some time ago the Pullman Com* pany, as an experimental measure, in* troduced "Ordinary" sleeping car set* vice on the Baltimore snd Ohio Railroad between Baltimore and Newark, and Pittsb.urg and Chicago. The results to the Railroad Company were very gratifying, but subsequently it was ascertained the Pullman Compaay was not in position to furuish tbi** class of equipment to all roads oper» ating Pullman cars east of Chicago and St. Louis, and to allay any friction that might result from this inequality of service, the Pullman Company requested the Baltimore and Ohio., Railroad to resume the standard cars previously tn service, whlck will bo dono commencing April 10.

CHAPTER XXIX.—(Continued.) The wild boara that lurked In the broods baSed o»r >«8orts for a long time. By the edgt*ofthe ^tehet we possessed I fashioned for my own use a kind of $p9**. about six teet long, fcewn out of a piece of fine teak wood, which I/found upon the beach. This weapon I made and pointed with great care; and armed with It frequently fey in watch for the sealions, but without success. On the shore, at this season, when the, sunshine was reflected from the sloping faces of the volcanic rocks and from the surface of th«; sea, the heat was beyond all description—intense, breathless and suffocating, so that the - lungs would collapse painfully in the difficulty of respiration. To breathe was like attempting it at the mouth of a newly-opened furnace, and so I usually retired inland and sought the cool solitude of the deep thickets, or wandered through groves, of solemn, impressive and majestic old trees; for some were there so old that they must have cast the shadows of their foliage on Alphonso Ue Albuquerque or Tristan da Cunha and their bearded followers. How many ocean storms had swept their leaves into the waste of waters since then! We had now been fl^o days on the island without a sail being seen, though more than half our time was spent in watching the horizon; and so Tom Lambournes' old shirt still waved in vain from the boom-end on the mountain-top. On the fifth day, however, to our surprise, the signal was no longer visible, so we supposed that a gust of wind haM overthrown it in the night. Lambourne, Carlton and Probar stnrted for the mountain-top to restore it, while Hlslop and I rambled into the woods, where we had a view" ©f the shining sea to the westward. The waves came in long rollers, ns there was a fresh breeze blowing from the west, and the foam rose white ana high on the tremendous bluffs of the Inaccessible Isles, as we named them. All the water between them was a sheet of sparkling and snowy froth, amid which, haj we been nearer, we should doubtless have seen the black heads of the seallona, as they sported in the spray and sunshine. On asking Hlslop how far he thought we were from the continents of Africa and South America, he replied, without hesitation: "We are about fifteen hundred miles from the mouth of the Rio de la Plata on the westward, and twelve hundred odd from the Cape of Good Hope on the east; but there la land nearer to us " . "Land nearer!" I reiterated. "There are the three isles of Tristan da Cunha, and about five hundred miles southwest of us a desolate rock called the Isle o;f Diego .Alvarez; and fortunate it is Indeed for us that we were not cast away there, as it yields only mossy grass and now,and then a few seals or sea-elephant* may be seen up* , on the reefs about it. Dut, Dick Rodr ney, does it not make one long to be afloat again, with a good ship underfoot, both tacks and the breeze^ too, aft?—a cloud of canvas, carrying the tare* masts into one whwv sea£ aatern r-the lower studding-sail booms rigged out and dipping, in the flying spray as she rolls from side to s i d e - does it not, I say, bring all this to jnind, when from here we can watch the wares that rose, perhaps, between the shores of Mexico, rolling in foam between these rocky isles? Do you remember Homer's description of the curling wave?" And without waiting my reply he began to recite from the Iliad with wonderful facility: "As on the hoarse, resounding shore, when blows the stormy west, The billowy tide comes surging wide, from ocean's dark blue breast; First in mid-sea 'tis born, then swells and rages more and more, And rolling on with snowy back, comes thundering near the shore; Then rears it crest, firm and sublime, and with tumultuous bray Smites the grim front of the ragged rock, and spits the briny 4>ray." How far Hlstop, in his classical enthusiasm might hare pursued his free translation, till we had all the deeds of Agamemnon and others on that tremendous day beCove 4kt walls of Troy, I cannot aty. had not a erashJag sound in the adjacent thick* routed and Alarmed us. We started «p and bad just time to conceal ounmlves behind the trunk of A trje* when * aerd of seven wild boars came plunging out of the thicket to 4rink at a raaMl wmJca towed toward the sea. : They were vnllfc* any of t i e swlnbut for our vague sensations of alarm we could have watched them with pleasure, BB they inserted their long, fierce snouts in the water that sparkled under the forest Ieave3. They were all broad-shouldered animals, with high crests and thick, bristly manes, and all were black in color or darkly brindled. Unlike those of the sty-fed hoga, to which we had been accustomed at home, their erected bristles shone like silver or polished steel in the rays of eunshine that fell through the waving branches, their eyes were flashing and clear, and their skins were all clean, as if washed for a show of prize pigs. Thin flanked, active and strong, they began to grunt and gambol, and to splash up the glittering water, .till suddenly they caught sight of us, and all fled, save one, a fierce old boar, which, after tearing up the grass with his hind feet, came resolutely forward, showing a pair of tusks that made me tremble for the calves of my legs if I ventured to run off, and still more for those of poor Hlslop, who was alike unable to escape or confront him. Fortunately I had my teakwood spear. While keeping a tree between me and the boar, he prepared for the offensive by whetting his terrible tusks against a stone and grunting hoarsely.^ Excited and bewildered, as be came on at a quick run, I charged my weapon full at him, and by the mercy of Providence, the point entered one of his fierce, glittering eyes, which made him rear up and recoil, while in his rage and pain the bristles on his ridgy back rose up like little blades of steel. "Into his throat with your spear!" cried Hlslop; but I anticipated the suggestion, for ere the words had left his lips I had buried—thrusting deep with all th? force that excitement and terror gave me—the pointed teakwood shaft down his red and gaping throat. Choking in blood, in foam and fury, the great boar writhed upon bis back, find In doing so tvitched from my hands the weapon, which still remained wedged in his throat and tongue, and rendered him almost powerless. I knew not what to do now, for if he snapped it through, and thus released f himself, we, or at feast I, would be lost. But as he lay ther« on his back and sides alternately, shorting, roaring and covering the grass with bloody froth, and tearing it by hla bristles, Hlslop sprang forward and though weak with many half-hea*ed wounds, drove a clasp-knife repeata^ly into the throat and stomach of the monster, which soon lay still enough. When it was quite dead I drew out my teakwood spear, and found the point almost uninjured, for I had hardened it in fire. We thrust two crooked branches through the tendons of the boar's hind legs, and by these drew it to our hut, which was about half a mile distant, there our prize caused great congratulation among our crew, and I obtained no little praise for performing so hardy a feat. Our return diverted for a time sotm* excitement and surprise which had been caused by the return of Tom Lambourne, Probart and Carlton froin the mountain top, with tidings that the studding sail boom had vanished, and that not a trace of it was to be fourid anywhere! CHAPTER XXX. A New Perplexity. The disappearance of the boom and of Tom's old striped shirt, which had waved from it like a banner, excited considerable speculation and something of alarm. If simply overturned by the wind, it must have lain where It fell; at all events, it could not have rolled far from the cairn, or pile of stones, in the center of which we had wedged it. By what agency had this dlsappearttce come to pass? That it was the work of wild animals could n<k for a moment be conceived; so tke,.event filled us with vague, but very alarming conjectare, With bis ka|cbet, Probart tfeuosrpenter cut down antt jpeparod a long and slender treo to f9ft?ace the lost boom on the top of the DevtTs mountain, as we now termed It; and while one portion of us assisted him in this, the other set about the eastun of some of the wild goats with which the woods abounded, as we were anxious to procure the milk of the female*, and the flesh of their kids. Thia.was A most arduous task, as they were so fleet of foot; afad -Vhen pursued, tear when in seardh 41' titos* bitter and astringent plants of which most dangerous pinnacles and V of reck that overhung the sea. In k places there grew a kind of wild labu r" num. and Hlslop did not fall to remind me that Theocritus described it as the favorite food of the goat. We often saw these agile quadrupeds spring, without pause, f*ar or Hesitation, frcm pinnacle to pinnacle, or from ledge to ledge of rock, where, had they missed footing, they must have fallen a thousand feet or more, either into the ocean on one side, or some ravine on the other, and there, perched far aloft, they would remain, looking at us quietly, and reminding me of the couplet: "High hung in air the hoary goat reclined, His streaming beard the sport c? every wind." By great industry, and the exertion of incredible labor and activity, we succeeded in capturing five, by isolating them from their flocks, and chasing them into chasms and corners from which they had no means of escape, and then we secured them by the running rigging of the long boat. Some of the females afforded milk, a rarity and nourishment to us who had been so lens at sea. The flesh of a kid we thought delicious, and lest we shculd tire of roasted and broiled, Jack Burnet, the ship's cook, contrived to boll some pieces of a goat in its own akin, stretched upon sticks, with a flre underneath, salt for a spice, and sliced pumpkin for vegetables. Of the hoins, when carefully scraped and cleaneri, we made very efficient drinking cups, In which our rum, duly mixed with water, was doled out to us by Hislop, the keeper of our provision store. The eggs of the sea- birds were a constant object of search, and being an expert climber, I frequently collected great numbers of those laid in the crevices of the rocks by the sea gull and storm-finch. Our life was one of perpetual exposure and daily activity. Though overpoweringly hot at noon, the atmosphere of the morning and evening was delightful, and, as these portions of the day were spent in hunting for food, the time passed rapidly, but Hislop'a chief fear was that if we were cot taken off by some ship before the rainy season set in, our discomfort and danger from agues would become very great. By the time we had been fourteen days on the island he was recovered so far as to be able to join me in making an exploration of it, or rather in walking all around it. Tb* circumferen'ce of the largest isle is ouiy four leagues, but its shores are so »v«ep and rocky in some places that traversing them proved a most ardu- On the eastern side we found a great cascade pouring from a brow of rock upon the beach. Toe latter was covered almost ersry/jjere by a broadleaved seaweed, the dark and slimy tendrils of which were several yards in length and we.re tormed by Hislpp "tho gigantic tijeus." So day after (Uy passed, and, amid our various means of procuring food, we never failed to keep a keen lookout to seaward to* a passing sail; but none came near taat lonely i3let of the southern sea. One mornieg I found there had drifted ashore near our but a mass of that mysterious substance, the origin of which has puzzled so many naturalists— ambergris. It must have weighed more than a hundred pounds, and when we threw seme of it into the flre it melted and diffused around a most agreeable perfume. This marine production, which is only to be found in the seas or on the shores of Africa and Brazil, is alleged by some to be a concretion formed In the stomach of the spermaceti whale. On the fifteenth morning after our landing a seaman named Henry Warren, who went to milk our goats, which bad been tethered to a largo tree near the hut, returned in haste to announce that the ropes which had secured them were cut, apparently by a sharp instrument—cut clean through —and that the goats, the capture of which had cost us so much labor, were gone. "Cut? By whom?" asked «vtry one. Before we had time to consider this, Hislop came out of the hut, and stated that one of our three bread bags had also been cut open, by a slash from a knife, apparently, and that several pounds of biscuits had been abstracted:' The strange alarm, and what was worse, the doubt of each other, which tbtse discoveries excited, were painful and bewildering. We examined the place wfeere the goats had been tethered, but could discover no traces of ieet, and nothing remained but the ends of the ropes (the long boat^ sheets and halliards) tied to the stem of a tree.

Gloves, in their first estate, are a somewhat expensive article of feminine dress, says Harper's Bazar. It is seldom good economy to purchase very cheap gloves, as they are liable to tear when putting on, to rip easily, or to develop somewhere a thin place which betrays one at an untimely moment. The frugal manager prefers to spend more upon her gloves at the outset and have them last longer and she makes up for the additional expense by taking care of this part of her wardrobe. When gloves are removed from the hand they should not he pulled off a finger at a time, but the wearer should take hold of them at the top and peel them off, so that the whole glove is wrongside out "when it leaves her hand. If there is any moisture about the glove, it IB well to leave it until it is entirely dry before turning it. Gloves require airing, just as other articles of dresB do. When perfectly dry, the careful woman turns her gloves, pulls them out lengthwise and lays them together as they were when she bought them In the store. If she is not expecting to wear them again for a few days she foldB them in tissue paper and lays them in her glove box. Those persons who are careful in these matters at no time lay aside a glove without first seeing that it is mended and entirely in order for the next time of wearing. All gloves Bhould, if possible, to some extent match the costume with which they are worn, and "while there are caprices from time to time which suggest the wearing of white or of black, or of some distinctly pronounced color in gloves, yet rio one goes amiss whose gloves do not make a false note in the effect of her toilet. s in the canfe of BhtMJi, 11 la a good plan, if one can, to have several pain ln use t t a time, the role applyii g. |p flove« as well as to shoes. The U stldlous woman carefully keeps her bed gloves by themselves, dons her second best for a shopping excursion or • daily walk, and preserves those which are even more worn for the market or the outdoor errands of the morning, or for the walk taken simply for health, when she dresses for comfort rather than for style. Gloves for driving and wheeling art thicker tan those for ordinary use, but equa - require care.- A glove may be spoiled \s to shape for all time bT heedless putting on when flrit worn.

The question as to whether this government is in position to retaliate upon Cauaila for the enactment by Ontario of the prohibiting the exportation of logs has taken another kaleidosopie turn. The treasury depart^ ruent was recently on the eve of instructing collectors to re/use entry to all kinds of Canadian lumber when Secretary Hay diplomatically interposed with the suggestion that action be postponed until the meeting of the joint high commission in August. Within the past week the subject has taken another phase. There is little doubt that the government is inclined to retalitory considerations by the discouraging results of the negotiations in London, looking to the clearing1 of the iield for the assembling of the joint Canadian commission. It is gathered that the British foreign office, which had seemed desirous to meet Mr. Choate's advances in the spirit of compromise that promised well, has been again influenced by Canada's refusal to agree to anything less than a concession of all of their demands, which has stopped all progress. Tbe department of state has referred to the treasury department the arrangement of a plan to protect the interests of the U. S. and a decision from Secretary Gage is expected very soon.

The events of the week past hsr« emphasized the need of a much larger army in the Philippines, without which, according* to the beat authorities In Manila, it would be attempting the impossible to expect to establish American supremacy in the islands. The inadequacy ot tbe American forces is said to be responsible for the large total loss in the number of small encounters, without materiai results as a compensation. Most of the fighting has been in territory which the Americans had swept, but have been compelled to abandon because they oo*Id not spare troops to bold it. Gen.

EY JA/nB0 GRANT, t i t •>** set ***»»*«• I « * r is Jj PER X^L—(Continued,) I looked keenly and' cautiously about me on every sl^., but saw only the slender and countless stems of the tall bananas, w.hpsQ broad, leaves, as they spread under or over each other, interrupted the rays of the sun, and formed a shade that WAS pleasing and gloomy. Now, when about to cross what seemed, a bole -er hollow in the jungle, by stepping from the strong tendril of one cre&p&r to another, a naked arm and &r«al human hand came up from amid the mass of leaves! I was seized by the right foot, and in an Instant found myself dragged down through the foliage and intertwisted, plants—down—down—I knew act where; and before I had time or breath to cry or resist, I lay prostrate on my buck in a hole—a lair under the matted juagle—with a man above me, his knees planted on my breast, his strong hands upon my bare throat, and his fierce wild eyes glaring like those of a hyena into mine. Then, how terrible were my emotions fm. recognizing in the light that fell through the mass of foliage above, as through a Tine-covered trellis—now overspread with hair, as beard and whiskers were all matte^into a mass —the dark and ferocious race of Antonio, whom I believed to be drowned and lying at the bottom of the sea— Antonio el Cubanl! "SilentioV said he, in a low voice, like the hies of a serpent in my ear; tut the injunction was unnecessary, for so completely was I taken by surprise— so utterly at his mercy, and so destitute alike of breath or weappa— that resistance was Impossible. Perceiving that I was almost strangled he relaxed his fierce grasp a little, but.still kept the sharply pricking point of his knife at my throat, as a hint to remain quiet. - It wouW be impossible for- me to describe the emotions of my soul during this tUne,' which eeemed an eternity to met Utter lear was one, for I thought the fellow had something supernaturairf- «omjeihiA£ truly, d«moarrabout hi oa { t h a t he could neither be drowned nor destroyed; and I lay still in that dark -heliow, pasting in his fierce dutch] without, « thought of resistance « Now 1 heartfrmy name shouted repeatedly. ,„ > ... . "Rodney—Mr. Rodney—Dick Rodney— where are you?" It was Tom l^nibourne and others, my companions, who had now attained the summit of the rock, and were scrambling over the jungle, and pushing between the stems of the bananas, searching for me, rather than for the first object of snch mystery. My disappearance alarmed them. "Can he hare gone adrift over the Muff," I heard Tom Lam bourne say, "or i6 he only having a game with us by hiding himself?" "Oh, yesi— that Is It," replied Probart, the carpenter; "he can't have gone aloft into one of these bananas, for they are as clear of branches as a spare topmast; so let us sheer off to the ma^te, anifl iir. Rodney will soon come down after us." "Well, my Utds/ there are neither wild men nor wild beasts here," said Lambourne! "so we Bhall return back to Master Hislop, who Is hanging in the wind ha^f-way down, and then be off to this ,^n'i ' We've earned a stiff glass qfHgrok'by this bout, anyhow." . My emotions became almost suffocating when'^ ileard them turn away to descend and rejoin Hislop without me. I saw and heard them paes and repast over us, the creepers of the jungle yielding their weight. The leg and foot of one, named Henry barren, came down through the green network of leaves and actually touched me. I drew a' long, gasping breath, and the atrocious Cubano, belleviug I was about to cry aloud, compressed my throat so tightly with his muscular hands, that a thousand lights seemed to flash beffft my. «yts. and I must hare becom* senseless .for some minutes, as the ntjttt incident that dwells In my memory is seeing him sitting in a crouching attitude, with his elbows on his knees; his black-bearded chin resting In tb« feoUow of his right hand, and with him < Mnife—his murderous AlbacM* enaklllo—«tencked in his white teeth, while he surveyed me with a stmns*»«B4 s*rdo*ie smile in his deeply-set bla*k «f«i, wbloh glittered lite that* of a s n a k e d tfce ray* of su»Ugkt tfcftt JftmtgUd through the woven roof of toaras about us. .

CHAPTER XXXIII. « It m'gl.t have been about the nour of ten, and we were still loitering on the moonlit beach, when the cry of "A sail in sight!" made every heart leap wildly and with hope. 'Twas Tom Lambourne who spoke, but every eye caught the ship at onceand even those who had been dozing on the warm sand or within the hut were awake and on the beach in a moment, stretching their hands toward her with joy and exultation, but the aspect of the Bhip gradually changed all this into suspense and utter bewilderment She was a large, square-rigged vessel— a ship running close-hauled on the port-tack (to use a man-o'-war phrase), and with nearly all her canvas set. She was about four miles off the reef at the entrance of the bay, and was bearing directly toward it. Her canvas glimmered like snow in the moonshine, and we could see the red lights of her cabin windows flash at times upon the pea astern, and the whiteness of her long flush deck, as she careened before the breeze. Yet how was it. we all asked, that there was not a breath of wind with us? "Perhaps she brings it with her," suggested Hislop. "And how it came to pass that she appeared right in the offing and outside the bay all at once?" asked Tom Lambourne. "She must have rounded the high bluff while we were all palavering," said Probart. Nothing more was said for a time, but whether it was the effect o£ imagipation or of an overstrained eyesight I know not, she- seemed to melt as ii were ia the -brightness of the moonshine— to become so Indistinct that we could see the line of the horizon through! her topsails; and next it seemed as if her hull, her spar* and rigging were edged with bright o?W« matic hues. It is impossible for me to describe the blank astonishment, or rather the intense consternation, of our me* on the disappearance of this vessel, which | was the object tff so many hopes and wishes. Some time elapsed before the poor fellows rallied sufficiently to speak oa the subject; and meanwhile, there flashed upon my memory some strange and weird ©id Celtic tales, which a Highland 4>*jy at Eton was wont to tell us, off *"b±ps which in the days of Ossian tra-\ rsed the steep hills and the salt lochs <ui Morven with equal facility. "It Is a Bhip—or rather the representation of a veritable ship—which cannot t>e lar off the island, and is making for It at this moment," said Hislop, emphatically. "How far do yon think sire is, sir?" asked Hush Shute, mockingly. "Perhaps twenty miles—perhaps a hundred—it is impossible to say." So thoroughly were oar companions scared by the recent spectral appearance, which they connected in some way with ttie dreadful character of Antonio el Cubano, that they at once commenced with alacrity the preparations for ptrttJng to «ea. It mi.1.:' b« that somewhat of the professions- restlessness .of -sailors confirmed thciT resoluticm. They were already tired of their sojourn on the islana, and, Inspire* by the desire of reaching Tristan da Cunha. which is iuhabdfced by about eighty families of Portuguese, English and mulattces, among whom Hislop assured them they might linger long enough before they were taken off by a passing ship—quite as long as if they remained on the Ts3« of Alphonso—and where for subsiste&ce they would be forced to work as day laborers in the savannas and on th« highways. As for the Island of Diego Alvarez, our Scotch mate, wa*> seemed to know everything, assured them that It produced only moss and sea grass, and that if cast there they would die of starvation. Moreover, without chart or compass, how could they hope to steer with certainty in any direction? They ail might perish in detail by the most dreadful deaths In their opea boat, gasping with unquenched thirst under-the blue of a tropical sun. He said much more; bat they would listen to nothing save their own fears and restless impulses. I, too, was weary of the Island; and though feeling all the despondency that follows a severe disappointment on the disappearance of the illusory ship, I in no way shared the wild and Id-regulated wishes of the crew, pelled to follow their desptrate foTlunes. Hislop and I still lingered; so w* were told peremptorily that if we dll not come on board at once they would shove off without us. Thus compelled, we stepped in raost reluctantly and seated ourselves in the stern, and he assumed the tiller. The oars were run through the rowlocks, and Lambourne was about to shove off, when Probart, who had the bow oar, suddenly remembered that he had left his hatchet near our wigwam, and asked me to get it. I jumped ashore, and was proceeding along the beach for it. when suddenly I was confronted by Antonio, who from a thicket had been watching our operations and departure. His tawney skin—for he was naked to the waist—his ferocious aspect, his head of matted hair, his colossal strength and atrocious-character were not without a due effect upon the boat's crew at this crisis. "Shove off—shove off!" I heard several voices cry in the boat; "here com*s that dog of a Cubano." I struggled with Antonio; but he laughed loudly, and drew his pistol with fho air of one who would enforce obedience; besides, his eyes, which the tangled masses" of his hair overhung, were flashing with malignant flre, as all the slumbering devil was roused within him. The whole crew eaw this, and I perceived that Marc Hielop made an attempt to rise up and spring overboard to my succor; but as all their hopes of reaching Tristan da Cunha depended entirely upon his skill and knowledge of navigation, he was seized by Warren, Chute and others, roughly thrust down in the stern sheet3 and forcibly held there. I saw now that the fear and selfishness of the rest prevailed over all that Hislop, Lamborune and Carlton could urge; for, amid a storm of contending tongues, I perceived the cars dipping in the water again and again and flashing like silver blades in the moonlight as they were feathered; and the longboat, with all my companions, shot from the creek Into the bay and bore away to seaward about two in the morning, leaving me on tho beaeft alone—marooned with the Secdiah Cubano. Had not Antonio held me fast and menaced me with his pistol I would have sprang into the water, and, undeterred by the sharks that were forever gliding stealthily about tlie bay, would have swam after the boat; tor, desperate though the fortune of tU».vie who were there, I would rather hare shared it than live on the Island of Alptionso with such a companion, Hjs fierce, mocking laugh grated harshly in my ear, but I heeded him not, and continued to gaze after the boat and the lessening forms of those wtio fcaU abliMd1aeQr1nie7'not j?knout a fond and desperate hope that they would return for me. Every moment I expected to see her put about; but no! she hell steadily on till hull and sail and crew were blended Into one little dark spot, which ere long could scarcely be discerned on the moonlit moioing sea. Her course was trimtoefi northeast, for where they supposed the isle of Tristan da Cunha lay. She had caught a breeze and, before four o'clock in the morning, the last .oeatige of her had disappeared. Still I did not entirely despair! The idea of swimming to one of the adjacent isles occurred to me; but the straits between were full of foamir-g breakers and sharks; the rocks, moreover, were inaccessible, and wherever I might go Antonio could easily follow. The sun was now setting beyond the sea, and the shadow of a great mountain was falling eastward over the island as we began to descend from the bluff where I had lingered so long by one of the narrow and winding tracks made through the gorae by the wild goats. As it was alike dangerous and uncomfortable to sleep under the dews that descended after sunset, for two nights after the departure of the boat I was compelled to share the wigwam with Antonio, but did so with dread and loathing, and kept as far away from him as possible. His dreams, which were foil of oaths, ejaculations and frequently cries of "El apaiicion! El espectro!" came on him as of old; and as sleep to me became an impossibility I reserved to leave liim to his own devices. Certainly the island was large enough for us both. Moreover he had become so sparing of hrt ten charges of powder that he would not flre a single shot at either bird or goat or wild boar. I have since believed that he saved them with tW resolution of defending himself to the last, if Hislop ever returned to arrest him; and now, being lord and master •of the whole island, and of me, too, he exhibited a new phase of character. He became too lasy to procure food, and forced me to find it for him, under threats of shooting me. Ttast for two days after the departure of the boat, being totally incapable of catching one of the fleet goats alone, and being in no way disposed to encounter singly one of the wild boars, I had to climb the tteey rocks above the err as* tteat the tea birds' eggs. — 7 {ToT* ~ " JAPANESE SPANIELS. Mites That Are Worth Their Weight in Gold. The first duke of Marlborough prfcsented some of his Blenheims to the mikado of Japan of that period, and, curiou^y enough, the present duke's private secretary, Mr. Holdsworth, Informed the writer that he had recently seen some of the descendants of these dogs, which had been brought over lately from Japan. They were strangely altered, for they were dwarfed in Elze and far more like the Japanese spaniel in all save color. It is possible that the crossing of those Blenheims gent to the mikado with some of the na lve dogs has produced the Japanese spaniel so fashionable to-day. However i his may be, the Japanese spaniel is a dainty little mite, and is "the thing" to-day. His value increases as his weight decreases, provided, of course, that the points which fancy dictates are correct, and good specimens weighing aboi t two pounds will fetch £80 to £10J. A dog weighing less than three pounds Is a good one, and of this class Hon. Mrs. McLaren Morrison, who is very find of her Jape, has several lovely sovcimens. The head should be broad and well-rounded, the nose as short ts possible, eyes large and liquid, the carriage lively, the tail carried closely over the back in a fan-like curl, end the weight as little as possible. Cx)lor and markings form a great feature in the value of a Jap. The coa*. should be thick, soft as silk and long, pearly white, with black splotches. The ears and cheeks must be bfack, the black coming down to the tuse of the nose and going under the- eyes. The lower part of the cheek anl chin must be white, and a blaze of white must extend from the back of the head over the forehead to just at'ove the base of the no3e. In Japan tl:is blaze is termed the "V," and in the center cf this "V" on the top of the head should be a black spot of f bout the size of a shilling. In Japan these little atoms are carried in their owner's sleeves, but whether the eleeves have been enlarged to carry the dog or the latter dwarfed to fit the steeve, tradition does not say. Lady r 'obyn has an almost perfect specimen of this dainty dog. and the Countess of (V'arwlck, Lady Algernon Gordon-Lenox, Lady De Ramsey, and Lady Burton are also great lovers of this charming little pet.—Cassell's Magazine.

"I want to begin by thanking the ladies," began the doctor, alter prayer, "for the very kind manner in which they observed my request in regard to head covering last Sabbath." At several points in the audience delicate fingers could be seen searching deftly about the borders of lovely picture hats for invisible hatpins. "It is a matter of great satisfaction," continued the pastor, **to one in my position to find such kind consideration for one another manifest kmong the members of his congregation," here and there a posey or a plume was seen to nod. indicating that a disturbance was going on near its foundation.

Every woman is made lovable by her own thoughts for the pleasure of others"—all over the house there was a quiver among the colors, delicate and bright, as when the first puffs of a rising breeee reach the meadow grass, and the next instant each sprig of artificial flowers and bow of lace and ribbon seemed to grow momentarily taller and then move forward and sink oat of sight, and a flourish of soft hands followed, smoothing the stray threads of gold and auburn and brown that followed as though loth to part with the "dreams" in millinery that had pressed "them.

The application of ball bearings is more costly, but popular demand will yet force all competitors to follow the lead of tho Deering Company.

Wires were down in every shape and one touch with the bare hand was worth a man's life. The work in cities is a great deal more dangerous than the country, the poles are so much higher and so many things to contend with. The worry and anxiety of their friends is no small natter, I assure. The writer once saw a man part with his family at midnight to go to his work and she was distracted. She says "Oh, yon will be brought back to me dead some of these times, I know you will."' It is no wonder she felt this way.

The writer does not pretend to be posted in all things connected with the telephone business, but as far as we do know, we can speak and we know enough of the hard dangerous work connected with it, and feel that the telephone men are worthy a great deal of praise and we think that a telephone mans friends and relatives should have the privelego of using the line without cost, the same as a railroad man. The law may have changed but we know a fewr years ago, a railroad man's friends were entitled to a pass for any distance for the asking and so we think it should be-with the telephone line.

The nearest place where drinks may lawfully be bought at retail is Lawrence, tea miles away. Local unions ofWoman's Christian Temperance Union in many of the states are celebrating their twenty-fifth anniversaries, as a great number have already reached their quarter-century mile post. The next national convention to be held at Seattle, Wash., will be Oct. 20-25, the commemoration also of twenty-five years as a national organization. The military commander of Paris, it is said, has ordered placards to be placed on all barracks in that city illustrating the evil effects of alcoiiol. These placards, which are hung everywhere^ show on one side the interior organs of a drunkard, and ou the other those of a temperate man. Beneath is a brief explanation of the pathological and moral effects of the abuse of alcohol. Rev. Dr. Madison C. Peters, in a sermon apropos the saloon, occasioned by Bishop Potter's oftquoted remark, said: "Socialistic agitators tell us that poverty is the cause of intemperance. The investigation of the slums of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Chicago, by order of congress, under the supervision of the skilled government statistician, Hon. Carroll D. Wright, in 1894, showed the surprising fact that the earniugs of the occupants of the slums are quite up to the people at large. They prefer fewer rooms and more rum. The investigation shows that in the slums there are not only more lodgers to the buildings than elsewhere,, but also more saloons to the population than elsewhere. I n New York city there is an average of one saloon to every 200 persons; in its slums, one to every 129. In the cities above named slum families earn an average of from $16 to £21 per week, enough to keep them comfortablyiin better locations. Drink is the cause rather than the effect of poverty. Canon Farrar said: "What makes these slums so horrible? 1 answer with certainty and with a confidence of one who knows—drink! I tell the nation—with conviction founded city, for liquor."

(Copyright 1SP9 by Louis Klcpseh.V As me greater include the leas, eo does the circle of ftttur© joy around our entire world include the epicycle of our owa republic. Bold, exhllarajit, unique, divine imagery of the text. At the clqfe of a week In. which for three days our Nat tonal. Capitol was a pageant and all that grand review and bannered procession and National Anthems could do, celebrated peace, it may net be inapt to anticipate the time whe-n the Prince of Peace and the Heir of Universal Dominion shall take possession of this nation, and "thy l^nd shall be mr.rried." In discussing the final destiny of thlB nation, it makes all the difference in the world whether we are on the way to a funeral or a wedding. TTie Bible leaves no doubt on this subject. In pulpits and on platforms and in places of public concourse, I hear so many of the muffled drums of evil prophecy sounded, as though we were on the way to national interment, and beside Thebes and Babylon and Tyre in the cemetery of dead nations our republic was to be entombed, that I wish you to understand it is not to be obsequies, but nuptials; not mausoleum, but carpeted altar; not cypress, but orange blossoms; not requiem, but wedding march; for "thy land shall be married." I propose to name some of the suitors who are claiming the hand of this republic. This land is so fair, so beautiful, so affluent, that it has many suitors, and it will depend much upen. ycur advice whether this or that shall be accepted or rejected. . In the first place, I remark: There is a greedy, all-grasping monster who comes in as suitor seeking the fiand of this republic, and that mobster is known by the name of Monopoly. His sceptre is made out of the iron of the rail track and the wire of telegraphy. He does everything for his. own advantage and for the robbery ofthe people. Things went on from bad to worse until the three legislatures of Kew York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, for a long time Monopoly decid «d everything. If .Monopoly favor law, it passes; if Monopoly oppose a property without any cdaqmtG com- De^%a.t.lQA, I am. a t.hUX. and, .If.A..railway damages the property of the people without making any adequate compensation, that is a gigantic theft. What is Wrong on a small scale is wrong on a large scale. Monopoly in England has ground hundreds of thou sand* cf her best people into semistarvation, and iu Ireland has driven multitudinous tenants almost to mad ness, and in the United States proposes to take the wealth of sixty or seventy millions of people and put It ia a few wallets. A pretty long bow was <2rsi.wn the other day by the superlt-tcj^ent of education in a great dty, r-h^a he told Ft<?v. Dr. HuntiufctON thr.t a^aong the Children of school age in hh >irisdiction there wero'one hundred t- ousand who did not know of the existence o* such a book is the Bible. But it is probably no exaggeration to say that, taking the country through, there aro millions who know very little of the Book of books beyond its name. College presidents testify that a large per «ent of college students are lamentably Jgnorant of the Scriptures. Sundaytstaool instruction does not go far, and the only safeguard against the heathenization of a part of our population seems to lie in a reviving sense of parental responsibility—a re-DEthronf religion !ft the family. . What is rag time, &,id where did It Originate? Is a question frequently heard. The sudden popularity of "coon fiongs," which took a firm hold upon popular favor a few years ago, and deepite all predictions Uj the contrary, faave held It ever since, led to a variation in music known as "rag time." £ince then "rag time" has been an 'i aere is "rag time" muthere are "rag time" gongs; there bt-en a "rag time*' opera. There mng- ''professors of rag time," "instructors of rag time," and "specialists in rag time," but precisely what R Is, no two musical authorities agree,, ex- Otpt on tie point that it is tomethint very popular just now. One teacher of* -"raff tinre" here tells me that "rag time" takes IU initiative step from £pa&i*h music—or, rather, fnom Mex* fee, where It Is known under the heads law, it is rejected. Monopoly stand* in the railroad depot putting into his pockets tn one year two hundred millions of dollars in excess of all reasonable charges for Eervices. Monopoly holds in his one hand the steam power of locomotion, and in the other, the electricity of swift communication. Monopoly has the Republican party № one ree'et and the Derocratie party in LL,£ otfcur packet. Monopoly.. .decides nominations and elections-city elections, state elections, national elec^ tions. With bribe he secures the votes of legislators, giving them free passes, giving appointments to needy relatives to lucrative position, employing them as attorneys if they are lawyers, carrying their good3 15 per cent less if they are merchants, and if he find a case very stubborn as well as very importr. rt, pnts devrn before him the hard cash cf bribery. But Monopoly is rot to casly caught row as when during the term of Mr. Euchauau the legislative committee In one cf our states explored and exposed the ennner Jn svhich n cert-'n railway cm^n^y had obtained a duration of Monopoly.brazcn-faecd, Irqn-flngered, vulture-hearted Monopoly offers his hand to this republic. He stretches it out over the lakes and up the great railroads and over the telegraph pole3 of the continent, and says: "Here is my heart and hand; be mine forever." Let the millions of the people North, South, East and West forbid the bans of that marriage, forbid them at the ballot-bo::, forbid them on the platform, forbid them by great organizations, forbid them by the overwhelming sentiment of an outraged nation, forbid them by th6 protest of the Church of God, forbid them by prayer to high heaven. That Herod shall not have this Abigail. It Ehall not be to all-devouring Monopoly that his land Is to be married. Another suitor for the hand of this nation is Infidelity. When the midnight ruffians despoiled the grave of A. T. Stewart in St. Mark's churchyard, everybody was shocked; but Infidelity proposes something worse than that—tho rob-Ling of all the graves of Christendom of the hope of a resurrection. It proposes to chisel out from the tombstones of your Christian dead the words, "Asleep in Jesus," and substitute the words, "Obliteration—annihilation." Infidelity proposes to take the let:er from the world's Father, inviting the nations to virtue and happiness, and tear it up into fragments so small that you cannot read a word of it. It proposes to take the consolr.- tiqn from the broken-hearted, and the Eoothing pillow from the dying. Infidelity proposes to swear in the President of the United States, and the Supreme court, and tfce governors of state?, and the witnesses in the court room wi:h their right hand on Pnine's "Age of Reason," or Voltaire's "Philosophy of History." It proposes to take away from this country the Book that makes the difference between the United States and the Kingdom of Dahomey, between American civilization and Dornepian t-annlbftlism. If Infidelity could destroy the Scriptures, it public land. It was found out that thirteen of the senators of that state received 1175,000 among them, sixty members of the lower house of that state received between $5,000 and $10,000 each, the governor of that state received $50,000, his clerk received 16,000, the lieutenant governor received $10,000, all the clerks of the legislature received $5,000 each, while $50,000 were divided among the lobby agents. That thing on a larger or smaller scale is all the time going on in some of the states of the Union, but it is not so blundering as it used to be, and therefore not eo easily exposed or arrested. I tell you, that the overshadowing curse of the United States today Is Monopoly. He puts his hand upon every bushel of wheat, upon every sack of salt, upon every ton of coal, and every man, woman and child In the United States fee la the touch of that moneyed despotism. I rejoice that in twenty-four states of the union already anti-monopoly leagues have been established. God speed them In the •work of liberation. > I have nothing to say against capttal- 4sts; a man has a right to make nil the money he can make honestly—I have nothing to say against corporations as such; without then no great enterprise would be possible^ but what 1 4o my Is and names of Hatwara, Danza and BegttldlUa, being nothing but consecutive music, either in the treble or bass, followed by regular time In one hand.

The only impulse in. the right direction that this world ha* ever had has ccuio from tha Bible. It was tl:e mother of Roman law and of healthful jurisprudence. That book has been the mother of all reforms and ail charities— mother of English raagna ciiarta and American Declaration of Independence. Benjamin Franklin, holding that Holy Book in his hand, stood before an infidel club in Paris and read to them out of the prophecies of Habakkuk, and the Infidels, not knowing what bo&k it was, declared It was the best poeiry they had ever heard. That book brought George Washington down on his knees in the snow at Valley Forge, and led the dying Prince Albert to ask £crae cne to £inj "Rock of Arcs." - *W... .• •• • jf"^"*'; We have teen turning na important Ifet in the mighty tcme of our national history. One year at the gates of this continent over 500,000 emigrants arrived. I was told by the commissioners of emigration that the probability was that in that one year 600,000 emigrants would arrive at the different gates of commerce. Who were they? the paupers of Europe? No. At Kanpas City, I was told by a gemleman, who had opportunity for large investigation, that a great multitude had gone through there, averaging in worldly estate $800. I was told by an oflicer of the government, who had opportunity for authentic Investigation, that thousands and thousands had gone, averaging $1,000 in possession each. I var told by the commission of emigration that twenty families that had recently arrived brought $S5,0C0 with them. Mark you, families, But tramps. Additions to the national wealth, not subtractions therefrom. I saw some of them reading their Bibles and their hymn books, thanking God for his fcindness livheiplng them cross the sea. Some ot them had Christ in the steerage all ccrosg the waves, and they will have Christ in the /all trains which at five o'clock ev«ry afternoon start for the great West. They ere being taken by the com mission of emigration in New York, taken from the vessels, profor then RC^OC^, ar.d rend, to ticra ChrJsti.au misaioruirt,^. Arc yon afraid this continent ifi £3- icg'to be overcrowded with this population? Ah, that shows you have not been to California, that shows you have not been to Oregon, that shows that you have not been to Texas. A fishing binack today on Lake Ontario misht us well be afrajd of being crowded by other shipping before night as for any one of the next ten generations of Americans to be afraid of being over crowded by foreign populations In this country. The one state of Texas is far larger than all the Austrian empire, yet the Austrian empire supports 35,000,000 people. The one state of To.vas is larger than all France, and France supports 36,000,000 people. The one s:ate of Texas far surpasses In size the Germanic empire, yet the Germanic empire supports 41,000,000 people. I tell you the gr,eat want of the Western states is more population. While some people may stand at tha of the city saying: "S:ay back!" to foreign populations, I press out as far beyond those gates as I can press out beyond them and beckon to foreign nations, saying: "Come, come! all ye people who are honest and industrious and God-loving!" But say you: "I am EO afraid that they will bring their prejudices for foreign governments and plant them here." Absurd. They are sick of the governments that have oppressed them, and they want free America! Give them the great Gospel of welcome. Throw around them all Christian hospitalities. They will add their industry and hard-earned wages to this country, and then we will dedicate all to Christ, and "thy land shall be married." But where shall the marriage altar be? Let it be the Rocky Mountains, when, through artificial and mighty irrigation, all their topa shall be covered, as they will be, wilh vineyards and orchards and grain fields. Then let the Bostons and the New Yorks and the Charlestons of the Pacific coast come to the marriage altar on cue side, and then let the Bostons and the New Yorks and the Charlestons of the Atlantic coast come to the marriase altr.r on the other side, and t!.ere between them let this bride cf nations kneel; and then if the or?an of the loudest thundery that ever shook tae Sierra Nevadas on the one side, Or rroved the foundations cf the Alleghanies on the other side, should open full dicpason of wedding march, that ; organ ot thunders could not drown the voice of him who would take the hand of this bride of 'nations, saryingf, "as a bridegroom rejoiceth ovdr a bride, co thy God reioiceth over Chee."

V. ,1. liov. Pinjjreu hus called a b.alt on the legislature and demands retrenchment in appropriations. lie suggests that a cut of about $170,000 be made. The two institutions that have thus far been attacked by the governor are tho Jackson prison and the agricultural college. Thu total amount of bills introduced in the hous,e and senate, call-'' ing for appropriations for the year lSi)rJ und 19)0, including the amount of the general purpoae tax, is 90."80,- 121.35. This is nearly $5,000^00 in excess of the state tax for the years 18U7 and 189S, levied to meet expenses provided by law and appropriations of the legislature of 1SQ7, which state tax was 84,533,077.90 for the two years. This is doubtless the cause of the governor taking the position he has. The ghost of the beet sugar bounty appropriation made its appearance for a few minutes on the 20th when Rep. Ding-ley offered a resolution that it be the sense of the house that the bounty cease on December 31, ]903, the time when the present appropriation will run out. This was intended to be a notice to the beet sugar manufacturers that they need not expect an appropriation from the next legislature, bu6 the speaker ruled the resolution out of order, and a nice .fight was plucked in the bud. The house, by a vote of 27 ayes to V2 nay.s, refused to adopt the adjournment resolutions. The senate then passed another concurrent resolution fixing June 9 as therdate for suspending business and June ]7 as the date of final adjournment. Oobd prophets predict the session will be prolonged to June 2).

There hangs in the palace tower ia Japan a wonderful bell whose sweet tones can be heard for over a hundred miles, and in. the evening when the clear music is heard across the sunlit fields the stranger is told this legend: Long, long ago the emperor wrote to the maker of bells, bidding him cast a be.ll larger and more beautiful than any ever made bsfore. He bade him put into it go)d and silver £?d brass, th.at the tones might be i.voet ana at-ur, and that when hung in the palace tower its sound might be heard for a hundred miles. The maker of bells did as he was told; he put gold and silver and braes Into his great melting pot, but the metals would not mingle, and the bell was a failure. Again and again he tried, but in vain. Then the emperor was angry and seni saying that If the bell was not made at the nest trial the bell maker must die. The bell maker had a lovely (laughter, who was greatly distressed for her father. Wrappingjjer mantle about her, she went by night to the oracle to ask how she could save him, and the oracle answered that gold and brass would not mingle until the blood of a maiden was mixed with them in tLei • melting. Again the old man made ready to cast the bell; again all his efforts seamed useless, until his daughter, standing by his side, threw herself Into the midst of the molten metal. When the bell was finished it j was found to be more wonderful and perfect than £ny other ever made. But there is a sound in its thrilling tones that brings tears to the eyes of all and a pans to the heart, and the sound is the voice of the maiden whose bloo,! of sacrlttve gave to the bell its matchless sweetness. sympathy for his family. The house appointed a special eotntttittee of five to attend his funeral. Queen Victoria expects to soon undergo an operation for cataract.

Tbe last stitch was takes, and LHly wised her pale but beautiful face, and, clasping her hands together, said: "Oh, what a dreary |ir« for one so young!

So Lilly arose, and, putting on hrr trapping "that had seen better days," etarted out in the bleak wind to tako 'ber sewing home, Lilly's father had been a wholesale Jfquor merchant, and some heavy Investment brought him to ruin; and, "Never mind that now, Lilly; not wishing to face his creditors, the will speak about that some other time; njext morning he was found dead In his tor the present you wUi remain whero •fhalr, and her mother, broken-hearted. ) TOU are." soon followed.

And for the next three weeks every attention and care was given to Lilly Clare, so that she was able to sit up in a large easy chair and read a little. And very sweet and modest she looked, sitting there with her white wrapper, trimmed in a delicate blue. At least, go thought the hostess, who was sitting at a window a short distance from her. And Lilly, looking up and meeting the mild eyes of her kind friend fixed upon her, blushed, and said: "It has now been three weeks islnee you received me under your roof, anfl X think by to-morrow I will be able to return to my room and resume my sewing, which I quitted so suddenly." che' baa only fainted."

H« laid her on a sofa and withdrew while Dr. Ilerlbert, who was in the store^id all in his power to bring her tack to life. Percy Monroe could not help thinking, while standing there, what a lovely picture she made, lying there so still *nd white, with her pale, golden ringlets falling around her like a halo, and one arm lying across her bosom, and her white hand, with its pink-tinted finger-nails, showed that she was of good , birth. But at last the doctor's 3(ind efforts were crowned with success, for Lilly opened her large blue eyes and, looking around, said faintly: "Where am I?" Then it suddenly flashed across ber mind, acd a shudder passed through her frame. The doctor, bending kindly ever bar, talking together, by stepped \ "And so, Percy, you intend to get married, do you?" "Yes, mother, if I can get the young lady's consent.-' " • ' Lilly, waited to hear no more; that enough to let her know that deep n in her heart she loved Percy; and Kinking down en her knees she prayed for strength to battle with that love; for was he not going to marry another? Then, hearing a step coming, she arose and bathed her face, just a& a knock was heard at her door. Opening the door, she found Mr*, Monroe there, with a message from her son, requesting her to come down to the sitting-room. And Lilly, walking as one in a trance, went down. Percy, standing at the window, looking out, did not seem to notice her at first.. And Lilly hesitated /nd «aid in a low tone: "Mr. Monroe, did you wish to see me?" reaching out both "Nev»r mind my child; you are bet- [hands said: **r n o w " • "Yes, Lilly, darling, I do wish to see Percy Monroe now stepped up to the . ) O U .

A short time after there was a quiet wedding at borne, and peace and content ssem to hang like a curtain about Lilly and her btwbandr because they do not fcrget t« co grood unto one of the least. LILLY HESITATED doctor and asked him if he thought it would be safe to move the young lady. "My mother lives a few doors back, and perhaps it would be best to have her placed in a bed, where she can have better attention than can be given iier here." "Oh, yea," rerplied the doctor. "1 -was just going to ask the young lady •where her friends lived, so that we could have her moved Immediately." : Lilly looked up with a pitiful smile, taying: "I have no friends nor any relations living. I am entirely alone In the world, but my room is 19 Front street, and my name Is Lilly Clare." Dr. Herlbert then turned to Percy, saying: "I guess we will avail ourselves of your hospitality, Mr. Monroe. And have Miss Clare removed to your mother's, as it is too far, and might result very serious, to have her removed so f T aa Front street," Percy bowed and left the drug store, and retraced his steps to a fine stone .front bouse a few doors from the store. Ha met bin mother at the diningroom door and soon told his story, and Mrs. Monroe seeded no urging, and* Trlth all her motherly kindness pro- •ceeded at once to prepare a room for .young stranger.

On the day of Waterloo it was late before Napoleon left his quarters. Abou*. noon he came down from his quarters to take a horse. The equerry having «one off to snatch a hasty meal, the duty of helping the emperor on horsebark fell to a youth named Gudin. The lad had had no experience in this line, and gave the little Corslcan such a vigorous hoist that he nearly rolled off on the other side. Napoleon cfflied him a little fool and rode away in a fury, Gudin very "down In the mouth," following him some way behind. By-and-bye the youth saw the staff officers open to right and left, and Napoleon came riding back. Laying his hand frJndiy on the boy's shoulder he said, "My child, when you help a {flnan of my *ize to mount, do so gently." Flfty-3even years afterwards, as Gudln, now' growa a gray general, related the incident, his* eyes filled with tears at the memory of Napoleon's thinking at such a moment of the wounded feelings of the young tnan. He Kafir What He Wanted. He was a little darkey on a Virginia farm, says tie New Orleans Item, ana, of course, be was very fond of aweeia. There was a young lady also on the plantation who always took It upon herself to correct any mistiies of speech which she heard him make. Now, our little darky wanted some molasses one day up at the farmhouse kitchen, and he plainly said: "Please, ma'am, can I h:«e some 'lasses?** "Jonas/1 said she, severely, .

Plumb of the Indiana Experiment Station recently published a pamphlet on the Cheviot sheep, from which we make the following extracts: "About 300 milea north of London, forming the dividing line between England and Scotland, lios a group of mountains and hills. These are not rough, ragged, stone-capped mountains, such as are familiar to the New Englander, but rather smooth-faced instead, covered with grass and vegetation to their summits. These aro the Cheviot Hills. Amos* them a few rise to some height, of whieh the Cheviot at 2,676 feet, and Carter Fell, rising 1,815 feet, are the most prominent pointa. These hllJg mainly prevail in the nortfc part oi Northumberland county, England, and la Roxburg county, Scotland. Writing of this region In 1796, John NaJsmyth saya the whole Cheviot region is naked and open, and is now an unbroken continuation of sheep pastures, except such cultivation as is made for the accommodation of the flock. He tell« of 'beautiful, smooth, low, verdant hills,' 'clusters of fine, smooth kuolls, covered with sweetest verdure,' and of 'a great range of good pasture of a mixed nature.1 Yet, he aiso writes Of less fertile parts, 'which having lain long neglected, the surface water has preyed on the soil, destroyed the sweet verdure, and brought a growth of mosses in Its place,' and further, that *upou tlie aouuiwest of Cheviot, the plain top of tbe ridge is covered with a coat of peat earth, In some placea very coarse and miry,' producing various kinds of moorish herbage." Description of the Cheviot.—Howard H. Keim describes the sheep a3 follows: "A Cheviot ram, when arrived at maturity, weighs in good flesh at least 200 pounds live weight. He has a lively carriage, bright eyes and plenty of action. Hi* bead Is1 of medium length, broad between the eyes, well covered with short, fine white hair. His ears, nicely rounded and not too long, should rise erect from the head—low set or drooping ones are decided faults, but at the same time they should not be what are called "barolugged," that is, too near each., other, as that Indicates a narrow face, which generally denotes a narrow body. His nose and nostrils must be black, full and wide open; his necfc strong and not too long; his breast broad and open, with the legs set well apart. His ribs must be well sprung and carried well back toward the hook bones, as a loug weak back Is about the worst fault a Cheviot can have. His back must be broad and well covered with mutton; bis hind quarters full, straight and square; the tail well bung aBd nlcftly fHngori with wort. His legs ! Columbia Bevel-Gear Chainiess Bicycle. must stand squarely from the body (if bent hocka, either out or in, and especially the latter, are looked upon as weakness); the bone must be broad and flat, and all must be covered with short, hard, white hair. He will grow a fleece weighing twelve to fifteen pounds of fairly fine wool, densely grown and ttt equal quality; coarseness on the top* of the hocks is a decided blemish. The wool should meet th« hair at tbe ears and cheeks In a decided ruffle; bareness there or at the throat is Inadmissible, and it should grow nicely down to the hocks and knees. The breast and belly are also well covered. JTbe same description, when modified, will apply to the ewe al*o, which will weigh 150 pounds. Cheviots, when in a natural state; must grow finer wool, as hard feeding inclines to make it stronger; but It must be stiff and denjto and not too short. The perfect CherJot Is one which will live and thrive well on the hardest keep, and when taken to better ground prove itself equal to the occasion by growing larger and becoming easily fattened. The ewes are also great milkers and very prolific. Food That dosts Nothing.—-During the warmer season, when allowed to forage for themselves, each fowl gathers Beveral ounces of meat daily. When the supply of grasshoppers, bugs, flies and worms faiU, it may be furnished from the table, the scrap pot or the market Green food may be furnished in cabbage, vegetables, apples or cut clover. A warm breakfast should be given on cold days and there should be no lack in the supply of drink. A meat diet with grain and vegetables is essential to the well being of fowls during the cold weather, when worms, bugs and insects are not to be found by the birds, but la summer the fowls can secure such foods (or themselves.—American Gardening. an! the Miracle Miaa Lacy Tucker, tbe daughter of S> prom me ut turmer of Versailles, lad., HIM thevictlu) of nervon* pros* traikon.

Things have changed, and have gone to the opposite extreme. Now applicants have to pass a civil service examination of considerable pretensions. Many of the questions would worry the lawyers who accompany the applicants. For instance, a question asked recently was: "Where must revenue bills originate, and why?" If the man answers: "In congress," he is lost; but if he replies: "In the house of representatives, because the people cannot be taxed except by their representatives," he will be passed with honors.

The acreage which, last fall was reported at nearly 30,000,000, has been reduced by plowing up and abandonment to 24,r>74,000, or nearly 2,000,000 acres less than was harvested last year. The maximum possibility may now be conservatively placed at 275,000,000. The spring wheat area is reported at J9.?23,000 acres, or 100,000 acres larger than last year, and the average condition D1.9, against 9^ 1 a year ago. It is lower only because the crop is started a little late. Should the present condition be maintained till harvest the crop result might easily reach 273,000,000 bushels. The corn acreage is the largest ever planted, the preliminary report reaching fully 84,000,000 aeres. •• - ' Arrangement* for the Cable tt Completed. The Una I details have been arranged fot the laying of the cable between the United States and Germany, the last step being a satisfactory arrangement concerning government messages and rates of cable tolls. The authorities at Washington have been informed that the actual work of laying the cable will begin during the present summer months, so that the first message may pass over the line during the coming fall. In this connection It is denied in official circles that Germany reciprocated the courtesy of allowing this cable to land, by granting a similar right to land An 'American 'cable line on one of the new German pouts* •loos, the Carolines. - MliltMrr fraparatioaft Is China.

A special from Washington says that President Schurmin, of the "Philippine commission, in a dispatch' to Secretary Uay, has, it is believed, recommended more Hberal concessions to the BHHpinos, with a View o f endirtg the insurrection at once. An official acquainted with the message said it reviewed the situation in the islands and was of an encouraging nature. The dispatch %vas considered by the President and Secretary Hay and the President has sent a reply. The nature of the answer is not divulged, but it is believed that the President is m favor of pushing the campaign with vigor. The U. S. transport Meade, having on board the 19th infantry, from Porto Rico, arrived at Jersey City on the 6<h, where the soldiers were met by many of their friends. The regiment is en route for Camp Meade* where the soldiers will remain until about June 15, then proceeding to San Francisco, and from there to the Philippines for active duty. The men appeared to be all in good health and spirits and anxious to go to the Philippines. The Filipinos have several Krupp guns, which they bring forward and use for firing large shells into a town, then retreating with their guns. One of the insurgent shells fell within 30 yards of Gen.

I had been thirty-she ihours without seeing my pleasant cimm, the Cubano, or being man* Ixtm With food. I knew that his rage 'would be great, and feel- Ing myselT vnusuaUy weak, after all the mental vxcttemsnt and bodily exr posure I fea.9 undergone, necessity compelled me now to avoid him strictly, as I was totally Incapable of contending with him in any way.

'I,told you what would happen when I wanted food." said he, feeling the point of his knife.

The dastard fired, and the ball, «s It whistled past, stripped ofl-n piece of bark. In the same manner I escaped a Becond shot, so Antonio, finding that his much-prized ammunition was likely to be expended fruitlessly, rushed forward to use his knife. The tendril of a pumpkin canglit his left Soot, he fell heavily and hurt hlm- •elf severely.

' CHAPTER. XXXIV, The Homewmrd Voyag*. longer a lonely maroon, but on the kick, road to borne and Old England. no We were rescued by a ship hailed by Hislop and the others. We had several days of the finest tropical weather; and they passed unmarked by a greater Incident than seeing a shoal of dolphins, sparkling as they surged through the brine; the silvery flying fish leap from one green watery slope to another, while the dark, crooked fin of the stealthy shark glided as usual in the trough of the sea between; a piece of weedy drljttwood with Mother Cary's chickens or albatrosses, floating near it, or perhaps at the horizon the topsails of a vessel hull-down, appearing for a. time like white or dusky specks,according to the position of t&« sun. The captain of the San Ildefonso perceiving that Marc Hislop and I were great friends kindly placed us in the same watch. As for Antonio the Cubano, we never went near him if we could help it. He was placed In the cable tier, and for more complete security, In the bilboes, which are iron shackles that confine the feet. However, we dally heard from the surgeon and from Fra Anselmo, who was somewhat skilled In surgery, and who undertook his cure bodily and mentally, that the wound under the right armpit had proved slight, through the lungs had escaped narrowly, but that the other in the' breast had penetrated the fleshy portion' of the heart, and was a yery dangerous one. fli4 friar added that "the Cubano was not one of those men^who are easily Killed, and th.ua, he. would, recover rapidly." . . ,,. 4 ;,.-.., We aiso heard, that Anjtpnlo latjairal^ cared for, as. He had discovered qne or, two friends among the crew, susa.- as the seajnan Benito Ojeda, a most vUlainous. looking, beejle, browed and squat little Catalonian, who seemed la be the worst character on board, and waB''engaigcal"*lnf •perrye^tuaT cfftarrels. A; few days after crossing,fhe tropic of CaoCer, on a lovely afternoon, we again saw th« peak of Teneriffe Ugh1 ed up fcy the western sunshine and rising like a cone of red flaaie from the blue sea. The cldUds seemed to rise with It, Rnd er* lotfgwe saw its base spreading* ouS fterieath them. *Tehriyreef'a'gaJn!" I heard old torn Lambonrne muttering, as he leaned over the lee bow, with a short pipe In his mouth. "HABh my wig! I have hatl a shell ecvign of Tennyreef. before this!" " " i Manuel Gautier and Hislop now came with a party of seamen to get the anctors off the forecastle to her bows. Tsia was no light task, the reader may be assured, for they wer." each about forty-flve hundred weight; and now the ponderous cables rattled along the deck as they WWJ bent to the iron rings. We approached thts singular island from a point that was new to me; but still its great and most familiar features were the same as when I first saw them from the deck ol the Eugenie. Estremera now reminded us that when at Teneriffe we should not fail to visit the two great sights of the island —the Valley of the Diamond and the old Dragon tree of Caora. The wind was fresh and fair, but felt light after sunset; and when the • high land of the Grand Canary _wa& on our starboard beam it almost died away. As we crept on we saw the lighthouse at the base of La Montana Rexo, which in the warm sunset seemed to have turned into blood or port wine, so deeply crimson was the glow, that lingered on the clouds and'on the shore; and then the vast peak—save where girdled in >midair 'fry a light floating, vapor—seemed all of a deep violet trnt dotted at its base-by thewhite walls of houses, or of sugar mills and fcy groves of cocoa and rosewood trees. Darkness was Boon there," bUt still the sunset lingered in rays of fire upon the mighty peak of Adam, on which the eye never tired of gazing. By midnight we were abreast of it, and all was darkness at last save where the millions of start were sparkling in the wide bluecdeme of the **y. HJslop and I were m tker Meritingwatefa when the isip arrive* off the motttfc. of. the harbor tit Baa.ta.Crui— that pretty town which Httmboldt termed the most beautiful between Spain and the Indies. A flash that broke the darkness.with a light puff of smoke float}** away" from the old castle. walla, trtfiaated the morning gun, and that sfewji was visible. It teemed as If it were bat yeiterday wfcen the Eugenia and te* ffrlg had worked out of the same harbor together, in the same species of dull twilight, and that all which had passed since that time had been a dream. We beat tn with the tree so ahead. The light of another day was rapidly descending from the summit of the peak, and already that green girdle named the Region of Laurels was shining In the sunbeam; so ere long we saw the windows of the custom house, which stands above the long mole, and all the shaded lattices of tn* terraced streets of Santa Cruz, pirttertng in gold and purple sheen. The anchors were ready to be let go; the chain cables were ranged upon deck in long coils that ran fore and aft; xre tacked repeatedly, and each time the tacks beeame shorter and more frequent. "Ready about! Presto! down irltb the helm—let fly the head-sheet*!" were the orders heard Incessantly from Estremera and Manuel Gautier. The yards slewed around sharply and the canvas flapped with a sound like the cracking of musketry; at la***, the anchor was let go about a half mile from the shore in thirty fathoms of water and the ship swung round head to wind as her courses were brailed up, and the men hurried aloft to hand the topsails and topgallant sails; so she was soon denuded of her canvas. When the anchor plunged int? the frothy water, making a thousand concentric ripples run from the ship; and when I felt, by the instant strain upon the cable, that she had firm hold of the ground, my heart swelled,with unalloyed happiness; for to be la Tenerlffe was to be far on the watery high road to my home* ».• Santa Cruz being thr capital of these Isles, Is the residence of the cap taingeneral of the Oejnartes, the seat of the supreme court eC law, and cf all the consuls and ooe&mtostries of foreign powers, whose various flags, when displayed upoe> their houses, make the handsome streets 48 gay in aspect as tbe haatoor, which is always crowded by the stripping of every nation. <a> cvsioea house boat, with the Spanish1 emign floating at the stern, came pMmptty off with an official, a dandled creole In uniform, with a sombrero on hlst-evly head, a saber at his side, ami" a cigar in his mouth. To him Capt. Estremera made a fnll report of the->mntiny which had broken out in his ship when off the African coast, ami the stern mode of its suppression. Hence, in two "hour*' after, we had the satisfaction of s*etag- Antonro el Cttfcano, BenitoOjetfa, the old tindal of the Lascars, and eighter other rascals, taken off to the castle of Santa Cruz in a large open boat, guarded by twelve Spanish soldiers, in charge of a lieutenant, Don Lute Pineda. I o*a still recall the glance of impotent and baffled malignity that Antonio bestowed am us as he went down the ship's side. It combined all the worst emotions of his angry heart,and somewhat reminded me of his face In that terrible moment when he swung at the M&d of the studding sailboom, with despair In his clutch and death in his hczrt. We watched the boat till It reached the long stone mole, and then we saw the SU«4 bayonets of the escort flashins, aft t&s whole party ascended the great stair toward the custom house, and surrounded .by a mob of those nautical idlers who usually make a pier their lounge, disappear in the interior of the town, as they marched toward the castle. Two episodes more will close the story of Antonio—Ills trial and punishment CHAPTTBXXXV. The Last of Aatanio El Cuban*-. The trial came on rn a couple of days after, and proceeded with a celerity unknown in Eaglaafl <or Scotland either. We were all examined, and previously were sworn, mot on a Bible, but over two swdfrd triads* held In the form of a cross—for euch is the old chlvalric custom in a Spanish court of law. Wkhont hesitation the judges fonnd Antonio guilty; he was sentenced to die by the garotte, and heard his doom with apparent apathy. The tindal of the Laseen was released, as It would fi:?rwvr that he had acted under compulsion; but Benlto Ojedo and eight other Spanish seamen were sentenced to work in the fortifications or on the highways for ten years, in chains, as felonu or galley slaves. A few days later we found * great crowd of colonists, citizens* mulaUoes, Creoles and negroes, all in motley and gaudily striped linen Jacket* and trousers, assembled in the Plaza, where s guard of Spanish infantry, with muskets shouldered and bayonets fixed, kept back the people in the form of a hollow square about a raised wooden, platform, which was covered with black cloth and whereon Was placed the garotte. "What Is all this about?** we asked. "It is for the execution of Antonio, a Cuban pirate, who is to die by farpite, replied a soldier. (To be continued.) STATE LEGISLATURE.

If the legislation becomes a law by which lower peninsula farmers draw one to two millions of dollars annually from the state treasury on suj?ar bounties, and a specific tax of nearly 82,000.000 is placed on the upper peninsula copper and iron mines, the business men in the state north of the Straits of Mackinaw will boycott all lower peniasnla wholesalers and manufacturers in favor of dealers in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth. The St. Clair flats bill has been passed by the house. The bill as passed provides that the price of the lands is to be computed by reference to frontage on natural, navigable channels at the following rates: On South Channel, 81 per foot; North Channel, 50 cents; Middle and Snibosa Channels, 25 cents; and all interior channels at such prices as the land commissioner shall from time to time determine. Gov. PingTee has signed three important measures. One of these is the Gtttam -homestead bill, under which it is expected many thousands of acres of land will be opened for settlement in this state; one for the punishment for the sale of adulterous milk and one to require horseshoers in cities of more' than 10,QOO inhabitants to take out a license. Uqy, pingree has &eht a message to the legislature requesting that the beet sugar bouaty bill be recalled. In the message he sets forth his reasons for opposing such legislation, which in substance is that he is against taxing all the people for the benefit of a few. The passage of the Helme single tax for municipal improvements by the senate the other day has alarmed many <rf the prominent real estate men Tn Detroit and elsewhere, and a campaign is already under way to make sure that the bill is defeated in the house.

"For railroa d cars and vehicles, •whic h depen d upon such supplies ot the compresse d air as can be carried about on vehicles, the limits are fixed oy the amoun t of compresse d air the vehicles can carry. The limit for railroad cars, accordin g to recen t experiments , would be, in my judgment , just about enough to carry them twenty miles with recharging . Fo r automo - biles, runnin g over smoot h and level road s exclusively, the limit of capacit y would be slightly greater , say equal £o about 25 miles. "The greater the pressure of the air in the so-called bottles in which it is carried about, the greater is- its endurance. It is compressed often to the exall civilized countries. Steel Wool There is now an established demand for steel wool, and its manufacture is in successful operation in this country— in fact, in this city. The process by which it has heretofore been produced, as described by us a couple of years ago, consisted in clamping together a number of circular disks of thin steel, slowly revolving them, and then with a sharp-edged flat tool taking off thin shavings from the edges of the disks until they were all converted into "wool." The improved process, lately patented, consists In winding a long sheet ot thin sheet steel into a tight roll, and then using a flat cutter to shave the "wool" from the end ol the roll. This latter process is evidently the cheaper, involving both less labor and less waste of material.— American Machinist.

These baths are celebrated lor their hot cleansing, purifying and invigorating efieots upon the human system, and this invention brings them within reach of the poorest person in the country. Clouds of hot vapor or abdicated vapor surround the entire body, opening the millions of sweat pores, causing profuse perspiration, drawing out head steatniog attachment is' furnished, if desired, which clears the skin, beautifies the complexion, removes pimples, blackheads, eruptions, and is a sure cure for skin diseases, catarrh and asthma. All of our readers should have one of these remarkable cabinets. The price i's wonderfully low. Cabinet complete with heater, formulas and directions,only §5.00.

The makers informed the writer that 82,386 of these Quaker folding thermal Cabinets bave been sold since January 1. and showed letters from thousands ot user*, who speak of this cabinet as giving: entire satisfaction. Since this invention bathtubs bave been discarded, for it gives a better bath for all cleansing purposes than soap and water, and, as there are millions ofrmmes without bathing faciiij ties, it seems this would be a good article for our readers to take the agency for.

It Isn't necessary to make a fool of yourself every time you have an opportunity. Most things go wrong because men refuse to take women's advice—so a woman says. In about a year we will Eend some one to find the man who has set out to find Andre. An exchange says Rudyard Kipling U growing heavier. Perhaps he should write lighter stuff. The man who thinks funny things without expressing them is the worst kind of a pessimist. Occasionally a man knows a good thing when he gees it, but most men are too dignified to recognize it.

' The man who is thoughtfully imbuW with the idea that a public office is a public trust doesn't believe in investi-' gating committees. The question of capital and labor 4s not- troublesome in the " "Philippines, They have plenty of capitals-• over there, but not much lab'or. • The fact that it was neither Friday nor the 13th of the month when the Paris went ashore shows that superstitions do net always work both way's, It seems that General Funston, w declines political honors, probably conceals an overweening ambition to be allowed to continue to do something useful. The city of Debir was the Boston of antlquity^-a great place for brain and books. Caleb wanted it, and he offered his daughter Achsah as a prize to any one who would capture that city. It was a- strange Ihirig for Caleb to do; and yet the man that could take the city would have, at any rate, iwo elements of manhood—bravery and patriotism. With Caleb's daughter as a prize to fight for, Gen. Othniel rode into the battle. The gates pf DebVr were thundered into the dust, and the city of books lay at the fett of the conquerors. The work done, Othniel comes back to claim his bride. Having conquered the city, it is no great job for him to conquer the girl's heart: for however faint-hearted a. woman herself may be, she ajways loves, courage in a man. I never saw an exception to that. The wedding festivity having gone by Othniel and Achsah are about to go to their new home. However loudly the cymbals may clash and the laughter ring, parents are always sad when a fondly cherished daughter goes off to stay; and Achsah, the daughter ot Caleb, knows that now is the time to ask almost anything she wants of her father. It seems that Caleb, the good old man, had given as a wedding present to his daughter a piece of land that was mountainous, and sloping southward toward the des» erts of Arabia, swept with some very hot winds. It was called "a south land." But Achsah wants an addition of property; she wants a piece of land that is well wsn&red and' fertile. ' Now it is no wond^ that Caleb, standing amid the bridal party, his eyes so full of tears because she was going away that he could hATdly see her at all, gives her more than she asks. She said to him, "Thou hast gWeii me a south land; give me also springs cf water." And he gave her the upper springs and the nether springs. What a suggestive passagef The fact is, that as Caleb/the father, gave Achsah, the daughter, a south land. St> God gives to us hltf world. I art! Very thankful he has given It to us. But I am like Achsah In the fact that I want a larger portion.' Trees arid flowers and grass and blue skies are4 very well in taeir places; but he who has nothing but this world for a portion has no portion at all. It is a mountainous land, sloping off toward the desert of sorrow, swept by fiery siroccos; it Is "a south land," a poor portion for any man that tries to put his trust in the poorest men I have ever known have been those ot great fortune. A man of small means may he. put in great business straits, but the ghastliest of all embarrassments is that of the naa who has large estates. The men who commit suicide because of monetary losses are those who cannot S *• cradle and bless, gourttble.and heal your wounds, and strew flowers of consolation all up and down the grayis of your deadf, ' • I n Ti« rellgia* that oan give • Sweetest pleasures while wt live; • Tis religion can supply Sweetest comfort when we die. bear the burden of any more, because fe_ . _ . 4 . , L ' ,, thav onlr thrni.*** P u t l h a v e something betttt to tell • Beatty Balestier, by his persistent 'threats against Kipling," is making Ihimfielf unpopular, not alene.wlth the •author, but with the whole ^nglishreadiag world. j That Commissioner Peck's conception pf what should constitute an attractive American exhibit at Paris is adequate and popular is shown by his .plans to install at the exposition the Igreateat display of electrical device3 •the world, has ever seen. i The election of Professor Hadjey a3 president of Yale, foreshadowed in .tearlier reports, is rightly regarded, as a decisive victory for the spirit of the age, for the liberal and progressive tendencies of our time. It te not, however, necessarily a blow to general and (rational conservatism, to ths> spirit which conserves the essential, the good >and the permanent and welcomes the. changes necessitated by the march of ;intellectual achievement and moral improvement. . Professor Had ley is a laynuuit and • fate election reverses an 'unwritten law that only clergymen «hould be considered for the presidency •of Yale, but it is hardly necessary to say that the religious side of the Institution will not Buffer, from the • The state board of fish and game commissioners of California contemplate a raid upon the great herds of tea lions, which are getting too numerioiu for the good of the salmon fishery. The sea lion has no commercial value. The average weight of thete aftimais jls about 1,600 pounds, but there' are ioot a few of the old male* that will turn the scales at two tons. When the 'aalmos, Which the state and nation* a*to propagating at great expense at the •several hatcheries on the coast, start to run to the spawning grounds the jsea lions hasten to the bays and rivers •to destroy the spawn-laden fish. Much' •the same state of things esisf ia th» iRiver S t Lawrence, below Quebec, which is Infested with whales and porof no commercial value, but <which destroy tenorxnoui quantities of i food fishes. [tt Whdt b"«; b7?n j'O'.!!* C"per!,*~??? What has bvjen the ex^£rleu:e of every man-', of every woman that has tried this world for a portion? Queen Elizabeth, amidst the surroundings of pomp, is unhappy because the painter sketches too minutely the wrinkles on her face, and she indignantly cries out: "You must strike off my likeness without any shadows!" Hogarth, at the very height of his artistic triumph, is stung almost to death with chagrin because the painting he had dedicated to the king does not seem to be acceptable, for George II. cried out: "Who is this, Hogarth? Take his trumpery out of my presence!" Brinsley Sheridan thrilled the earth with his eloquence, but had for his last words, "I am absolutely undone." Walter Scott, fumbling around the inkstand, trying to write, says to his daughter: "Oh, take me back to my room; there is no rest for Sir Walter but In the grave." Stephen- Offa-rd, the wealthiest man in his day, or, at any rate, only second in wealth, says: "I live the life of a galley slave; when 2 rise in the morning my one effort Is to work so hard that I can sleep when it gets to be night." Charles Lamb, applauded of all the world, In tha very midst of his literary triumph eays: "Do you remember, Bridget, when we used to laugh from the shilling gallery at the play? There are now no good plays to laugh at from the boxes." But why go so far as that? Pick me out ten successful worldlings— without any religion, and you .know what I mean by successful worldlings—plcic me out ten successful worldlings, and you cannot find more than one that looks happy.' Care drags him across the bridge; care drags him back. Take your stand at 2 o'clock at the corner of Nassau and Wai! streets, or at the corner of Canal street and Broadway, and see the agonized physiognomies. Ymtr bankers, your insurance men, yoor importers., 7our wholesalers, and your retailers-, as a class—as a class, are they happy? No. Care dogs their steps; and, making no appeal to God for help or comfort, thejr are toesed every whither. How has H been with you, my hearer? Are you more contented in the house they have only a hundred thousand left. On Bowling Green, New York, there is a house where Talleyrand used to go. He was a favored man. All the world knew him, and he had wealth almost unlimited; yet at the close of his life he says: "Behohi, eightythree years have passed without any practical result, save fatigue of body and fatigue of mind, great discouragement for the future and great disgust for the past." Oh, my friends, this is "a south land," and It slopes off toward deserts of sorrows; and the prayer which Achsah made to her father Caleb we make this day to our Father God: "Thou hast given me a south lend; give me also springs of water. And he gave them the upper springs and the nether springs." Blessed be God! We have more advantage given us than we can really appreciate. We have spiritual blessings offered to us In this world which I shall call the nether springs, and glories in the world to come which I shall call the upper springs. Where shall I find words enough threaded with llgnt to set forth the pleasure of religion? David, unable to describe it In words, played it on a harp. Mrs. Hemane, pot finding enough power in prose, sings ^that praise in canto. Christopher Wren, unable to describe it in language, sprung it Into the arches of St. Paul's. JohnBUhyan, unable to present it in ordinary phraseology, takes all the fascination of allegory. Handel, with ordinary music unable to reach tbe height of the theme, rounds It up tn an oratorio. Oh, there is no life on earth so happy as a really Christian life. -I do not mean a sham Christian life, but a real Chrlstlafh life. Where there is a thorn there is a whole garland of roses. Where there is one groan there are three- dojologteB. Where there' Is one day of clond' there la a whole season of sunshine.

I bless Christ for the present. satisfaction of religion. It makes a maa all right with reference to the past; it makes nan all right with reference to the future. Oh, these nether springs of comfort! They are perennial. The foundation of God standeth sure having this seal, "The Lord knoweth them that are His." "The mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from thee; neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed; saith the-lord, who hath mercy upon them." Oh, cluster of diamonds set In burnished gold! Oh, nether springs of comfort bursting through all the valleys of trial and tribulation! When you see, you otth<j world, what satisfaction there la on earth in religion, do you not thirst after it as the daughter of Caleb thirsted after the water springs? It is no stagnant pond; scummed over with malaria, bsTt springs of water leaping from the Rock of Ages! Take up one cup of that spring water, and across the top of the chalice will float the delicate shadows of the heavenly wall, the yellow jasper, the green of emerald, the blue of sardonyx, the fire of jacinth. I wish I could make you understand the Joy religion is to some of'Us. It makes a man happy while he -lives, and glad when he dies. With two feet upon a chair and bursting with dropsies, I heard aa old man in the poorhouse cry out: "Bless the Lord* oh, my soul!" I looked around and said: "What has this man got to UanX God for?" It makes the lame maa leap like the hart, the dumb sing. They say that the old puritan religion. K a. Julcelese and Joyless religion; . but I remember reading Dr. Goodwin, the celebrated Puritan, who In hit last moments said: "Is this dying? Why. my bow abides in strength! I am 8**1 lowed up in God."

"Flowers, five cents a bunch!" This cry came from the pale, tremulous Ups of a maiden of 18 summers. It was on a crowded city street, and the heat waa sofntense that people were lousing t» be once mom In the aacliuwn of their homes. MI will take ten bunches," said a porite voice In her ear. She turned with a start. Ten bunches! She had not sold .A, bunch *oday. With deft Angers? she selected the freshest and best bunches., and with a look of gratitude handed Him the flowers. Erla Seymons was a lovely girl, who did ail in her power «to help her feeble mother. Some days she sold flowers. As Harold Nelson and the young lady with htm, (who was his sister) went on their way Nena remarked: "What a beautiful girl! What a pity she has to sell flowers on the street!" Harold in his heart echoed her word*. This was not the first time he had seen Erla Seymons. And Erla forgot to cry, "Flowers, five cents a bunch!" She waa standing idle, her brown eyes fixed on vacancy, thinking of what or whom? Thinking, unconsciously, of the young man whom she thought so kind. That night in the library of the elegant mansion of the Nelsons Nena remarked: "Harold and I saw such a lovely girl; he waa just smitten, and on a flower girl, too." "Nena, don't talk in riddles, but tell me about it," said her mother, gentty. Then Nena, in her light-hearted fashion, related their experience of the morning. All th»ou«h this recital the Hon. Frederick Nelson listened intently, but said nothing; he had also seen Erla, the flowergirl, and remembered her. The next day, as he was about to bail a car, his ear caught the sound of a voice saying, "flowers, five cenU a buach." "That Is the girl." be muttered, "aae is the picture Qf Nells." Why Is this man talking in this manner? We shall have to turn back and read the past pages of the history of the present Hon. Frederick Years ago at college, he had for a room-mate a young man about his own age, named Leroy Seymons. Leroy waa a youth of steady habits and good character. They soon became fast friends and college "FL0WER3, FIVE CENTS A BUNCH. " But now something happened to cause a drifting apart of the two. At an entertainment giTen by the students they bottt trst ja#tfN*lls Staaton. Urnlocky day! Both jpet to *1OY.. One nigtitMn Ihe secrecy of tfceir room.they agreed that *•< * should do his best to win, ajft4 that neither should interfere with -the other. Nella farored Leroy and when he proposed was accepted. When Frederick waa told by Leroy that he had been accepts* the blow was hard, and nearly attuned him. Then, as he fully realise*1 that Nells, vfcom he loved nigh onto jnadneas. loved Leroy, his grief and rage knew no bounds. He accused Leroy of treachery, saying he had not given him fair play. He ended by calling him a traitor to the holy bonds of friendship and say- Ing he never wished to see his face again. Stunned by such treatment, Leroy uttered not a word. but. collect- Ing his things* left the room. From that day to this Frederick Nelson and Leroy Seymons had not looked into eaca other's faces. Shortly After Frederick read of the marriage of Leroy and Nella. All this time Leroy and his young wife were ltving happily together in A dtstamt city. One year, two years, passed. And u« xovple we*s blessed with A beautiful «tde daughter, whom they named BrlA. She was the pride of their hearts: all thefr thoughts and plant were for her atom. Oae day a cruel blow fell upon the bead of Nella. Leroy had beta kllledi O, the terrible anguish! But she would be brave for her baby girl's sake. After their money WAS goae~'Ketia MyecTaog* cheap rooms her daughter for support, as her fragile health prevented her from iveu thia mefc^t bf support. Meanwhile Frederick had married a refined girl named Lottie Ashley, who, after the first jHrlef and disappointment passed away, he loved. His one desire now was to see his old friend again and ask his forgiveness. Instead of boarding the car he retraced his steps and walked to where Erla was standing. "I will take the whole basket/' he said In a businesslike tone. Erla could have fallen at his feet for gratitude. She bad sold only two bunches all this morning, and now to sell the whole basket, and mamma so much needed some little luxury, and now she would have it; Happy tears fillftd her lustrous eyes, and she «ald in a tremulous voice: "0, glr, you are so kind!" Not yet sure as to the correctness of the deal which had taken such possession of him, he asked In a low voice, in which the eagerness was hidden: "What Is. your name?" "My name is Ella Seymons. sir." This was the chance he had coveted: it was his time. "Erla Seymons!" he ejaculated In well-feigned surprise; "I used to know a man by *tho name of Leroy Seymons." "That was my own dear father," replied Erla in a choking voice. "Where Is he now?" he asked in excitement which he could not suppress. "He is dead, sir." This was indse* hard when he thought himself so near his desire. "And your mother?** be ask 3d. with hesitation. "She is feeblo." • • Two y«ars have passed.

Bala, Hail and 8aow Are Imitate*. A curious part of stage illusion 13 that which may be comprehended under the term theatrical meteorology. Whatever may be the state of the weather outside, the stsge manager within can bring about jnajn and hail, wind, or a thunderstorm' at will, and the illusion is so complete a» to sometimes make nervous numbers of the —•<«'•-- 9 i^erelbly shudder. Hail and rain are represented by a closed wooden cylinder about six feet lo**. wh'ch. is obstructed inside by various cro33 pieces, a quart of peas CDmpleting the arrangement. By turning this cylinder first one, way up and then the other the peas rattle through It with close Imitation to the sound cf heavy rain on a roof. The wind arrangement consists of a wheel a boot two feet in diameter, get in a frame like that of a grindstone, Th*a wheel is furnished with ribg on its periphery somewhat like the float3 of a waterwheel, and drawn tightly over the ribs is a piece of thick silk. When the wheel is turned the ribs rub against the silk, and-by turning the handle first quickly and then slowly, a very good imitation cf the soughing of the wind is produced. Lightning may easily be Imitated by using chemical or electrical means, and the U3ual mode of producing thunder is by shaking a large s^?"?! of fleziMe iron plr.t*. So^ t theaters have, hov.aver, a far mora elaborate and effective thunder arrangement, which is used as an auxiliary to the sheet of iron when a storm is supposed to reach its height.

Incident ot a Department Btos*—A Bit of Basuaa Nato*a> It was in one of the big department stores, says the Washington Post. Two women stood near each other before a aoucter, where the belongings of very little children are sold. Both looked with wistful yet widely different expressions at the tiny garments displayed. The one woman asked to be shown knitted undervests for a baby. The saleswoman drew out a box and took from It some absurdly small garments, soft, creamy, fleecy, the most delightful combination of sUk and wool. The woman—a young woman she was. almost a girl—took them in faer hands with evident delight "How much are they?" she asked. The saleswoman named a price that was twice the size of the tiny shirts. "Apiece?" asked the would-be customer, timidly. "Yes." answered the saleswoman. The customer put down the little garments. She looked tired, and weak and bitterly disappointed, it's heartbreaking sot to be able to buy what you want for your baby. "Show me something—something cheaper," she said swallowing a lump Is her throat The other wounua, who had been looking into the showcase, had seen It all. She spoke to the saleswoman brusquely. "I cant wait any longer," she said. T e l l me tbe price of that bonnet ovar there." The saleswoman hurried to obey. One doesn't keep a chinchilla ooUar and an imperious manner waiting if one knows one's business. There was a moment's whispering and th« cakiwonian returned to her watting «uatQBMr. From another box she proetaead some garments precisely stellar to the too expansive ones.

Printing by X I U j . | Dr. Frederick S. Kolle describes, in the Electrical Engineer, a process' of . printing by the aid of the X raj, • which, he thinks, may supersede some of the present methods. He calls it typo-radiography. One way to prepare the original copy is to print the text with Adhesive ink, and then dust metallic powder over it, which will remain only on the printed characters. Tbe copy is next bound up with about fifty thicknesses of sensitised paper and subjected to the action of the Roentgen tube. Twenty blocks of fifty sheets each, Dr. Kolle says, can be arranged simultaneously around a single tube, thus producing a thousand copies of the original with about ten seconds' exposure.

The Chinese, ow^ng to the multiplicity of the characters in their written language, have solved the problem of telegraphy by using numbers for transmission over the wire instead of characters. The numbers hare to be reinterpreted Into characters when received. To facilitate the operation typos are used. On one end of each type is a character; on the other end to a number. By reversing and Imprinting tbe types upon a sheet of paper the change Is readily effected with a high degree of aocoraey. Y1MT WISCONSIN AND HEBBASKA.

CONCISE AND INTERESTING* Condition of Wheat and all Garden Truck lias Ileea Improved bjr the Katns — The Report of the Factory Inspector Shows Wages s>re Better. i of Wheat Blare Favorable. The crop bulletin, recently issued, *a,ys that warmer temperatures and Ample rainfall have generally been very beneficial to all vegetation, but Have retarded farm work. Oats, early potatoes and garden truck have made tfood progress and are in good condition. Meadows have been greatly improved; many old meadows are light %nd indicate a short yield of hay, but oew meadows are generally heavy. Wheat is heading and its condition is better than for some weeks past, but it still indicates a very light yield. Heavy rains have washed out some Tsorn, making replanting necessary, but generally corn has made fine pro- Sjress and shows a healthy stand; fields are getting weddy and grassy. Sugar beets made good progress in most -counties, and thinning and cultivation Das begun. Later potato planting is still in progress. Early potatoes are up, growing nicely, and so far have not been much affected by the potato tmgft. Pasturage is excellent^ Strawberries are ripening* fast and are abundant, although somewhat dirty. Wages Higher Than In '03. Labor Commissioner Cox. who is fliief factory inspector for the state, jays that in the inspection of the first «s,200 Michigan factoiies, from January 1, 1899, to June 1, 1891), there were -Tound 77 new factories which had been ouilt since last inspection. Of these 18 gave the amount of capital invested as $614,201, or an average of S10.591.2S for each factory. At the same ratio -he other 19 would have invested 8201.- £33, making an aggregate for the 77 factories of $815,524. The 77 factories were employing 752 males and 319 females, a total of 1,071 employes, or an average of 14 employes for each factory. The aggregate wages paid the employes was fl.424.43 per day, or a .nonthly wage of $37,035,18. The average daily wages of these employe* was £1.33, which, taking into consideration that nearly 30 per cent were females, firings the average wages about 8 per cent above that paid in 1808. Ottawa County's Dead Towns. —Ottawa county probably has mor« • dead and buried towlT sTleiT anil ~pros--- pective cities than any other county in the state. Port Sheldon was the dream • of wealthy Philadelphia capitalists in the early 40s aud the bubble burst after S2DO.00O had been spent. Only rotten timbers in the sand remain of the fine buildings that were built. Charleston, another boom town, located on Grand river, has also disappeared. Warren City, once the county seat, no longer exists, and where its buildings once stood are now farms. Ottawa Center, once a village of 200 or 300 inhabitants, exists only in the memory . of the oldest settlers. ^ Ate Ice Cream. /A 'gTeut excitement was caused at Delton by the wholesale poisoning of the attendants at an ice cream social given by the ladies' aid society the other evening. On account of the extreme heat a large quantity of >tbe cream was disposed of. Over 30 were taken ill, and all the rs \p0±* DeWjOahpod « * < k*pt busy. Tlft poinfhwjg^s supposed "to be due to a bad flavoring extract. No serious results followed, and all are convalescent. I n m t M * Bteal Plant for Menomlnee.

She was small as well aa young-rmight be described, la. fact, as petite. She was undeniably shabby. Her hat might have cost a shilling, and was trimmed with a plain bow of ribbon. Her dress was of cheap dark-colored cotton, and considerably the worse for wear. Her gloves were cotton, too; but her collar was as whitens snow, and her skin as fresh and clear as If she had sever been within reach of London smoke. As the raised a pair of large, dark eyes to those of the junior partner a sudden change swept over his face— a fleeting expression, such as a man might wear to whom, In the midst of comfort and luxury, came a disagreeable reminder of the existence of poverty and want. The next moment hewas offering her a seat and Inquiring politely in what way he could serve her. The lady client sat down. Mr. Martineau's own seat was placed so that his back was to the light; it suited him better to observe than to be observed. His visitor compressed her pretty lips in a strong effort to be solemn, and demanded: "Are you Mr. Martineau?" "I am—entirely at your service!'* M,' "Mr. Leroy Is away?" "In Scotland." "I am very sorry for that," she said earnestly. "So am I, If it gives you Inconvenience," asserted Mr. Martineau; "but I am his partner—can't I do something for you? I will endeavor to compensate for lack of capacity by extra diligence." "You must know," she said aftej; another short pause, during whlc^h she. seemed to be making up her mind, "It is a very difllcult ta,sk that I have to pet you.

"Smiles was a fool when be said she was nothing to look at," inwardiy commented Mr. Martineau.

"Well," she answered, blusWng and laughing, "it Is best to be quite frank, I'll tell you what I mean. I have been saving up money for a long time for this purpose, and supposing, when I have done my story, you find that to do what I want you to do will coat more money than I have to Bpend, will you tell me so, please?

"I am all attention; but, before you commence, would it greatly incunvenience you totell me who you at present imagine yourself to be, or, if you have, no ideas upon the subject, under what title do you choose at present to be known?"

All I have to suggest is that you begin at the beginning, and that you don't attempt to tell me -nore than one thing at a time. I know you will excuse me; but even ladies are mortal, and have their besetting Sins, among which is usually the total Inability to tell a-story. Try to prove yourself an exception to the rule." The lady client was offended. She took up her umbrella and rose.

"I am an unlucky fellow to be m.\» understood," he replied. "I meant to convey to you a delicate hint that the longer you talked the more I should be pleased, but you turned my meaning upside down.

"Now I will hit clown and tell you all about it; but really I thought you felt me an infliction. It is very warm, you know." "It is; but this o!<! office keeps pretty cool. It is dark and low."

"That is one of the things that I "don't know!" He raised eyes to hers with another strange, furtive look. "Oh," he said, "you do not even know whether yoa are married or single?" "Not the least in the world!" sht said, shaking her head and laughing. "The plot thickens," said Mr. Martintjeu. "Please proceed to explain." "The first place that I can remember," said Marguerite Lllbourne, "is a French convent. It was very happy there.

The second regular meeting of the Unaililla farmer's club took ])lace at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Win. Pyper last {Saturday afternoon; the attendance was very good. The host and hostess left nothing undone .that was necessary to make the meeting a success. The club was called to order by Pres. Howlett and the program was opened by singing by the aft address and although unprepared gave a splendid talk, speaking of hie special love for the beauties of a rural life where man is in direct communication with the birds and flowers and cited some of his own successful experiences on the farm in the days of boyhood. After singing by the choir the HUH It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering.

Hon. C. M. AVood did not be-, lieve in the control of the people's industries by the national government, Uiat4lie postal service was not self supporting by about 8, 000,000 per year, an.I besides was not strictly under government control but largely in the hands of contractors. To show the failure oi socialism from a financial standpoint he pointed out the experience of this state in constructing the Mich.._ Central Ry. He believed in the centralization of capital to carry on business on a large scale and that the trusts were lied about by the press as well as individuals. Several other members expressed themselves as opposed to trusts and Rev. 13. H. Ellis made a telling argument against trusts by relating some of bis personal experence. He said that while engnged in a sugar refining factory a number of years ago in the city of New Orleans, where he had made preparations to stay indefimitely, • that one morning the order came to "clear up," and shortly after • the hands were paid off and die charged without any explanation, and it was learned that the great sugar trust had bought every sugar factory of any account in the United States and thrown out of employment thousands of hands, most of them with families dependent on their labor; then when the men, unnble to obtain employment in other channels and with starvation staring them in the fact?, became disorderly, government troops were called out to put them down by the strong arm of the law. He believed something was wrong with a system which drives men to madness then seoots them down for disobedience to law.

Several military Good Templar lodges went into the Sudan campaign, and on tbe Monday following the capture of Omdnrman, a new Good Templar lodge was instituted at Khartum in the Royal Warwickshire regiment .It is called "Pride of the Soudan" lodge. A new reason for urging the prohibition of liquor selling in all government buildings is the recent discovery of a "blind pig" in the new national library. That liquor is sold there without a licence, in defiance of law, is an outrage that should awakeu such a protest as will put out, not only the drink but also those who are responsible for this insult to our nation. Bishop Fitzgerald, John G. Woolley, Dr. S. C. Swallow and D. D. Thompson will be the speakers at the temperance rally, at the international Epworth league convention at Indianapolis, Ind., July 20-3. The themes will be "Total Abstinence and the Pledge," "Economics of the Drink Traffic," "The Saloon in Politics and "Restrictive and Prohibition Legislation." Says the Monetary Times, Toronto: "England has at last recognized that the state has a duty in connection with the inebriate. A law has just gone into force under which an individual after a fourth conviction for drunkenness is to be treated as a habitual drunkard and confined in a reformatory at the expense of himself or his friends, if they be able if necessary." France is notable as a winedrinking country. The best that temperance men have been able to do has been in the line of a moderate use of intoxicants. But a beginning has been made iu the direction of total abstinence. The tee-total congress held its seventh annual meeting in Paris a few weeks ago and attracted unusual attention. Curiosity may have entered largely into the interest awakened, as the positions taken had for the Parisians an element of novelty, yet the arguments advanced and the showing made for tbe cause were not without their effect. Good seed is being sown and the fruit will likely appear in due season. A few weeks ago Mr. Joshua L. Baily, the president of the National Temperance society, ordered a library of one hundred books to be sent to the soldiers' barracks, at St. Augustine, Fla., to be put in the large room that had formerly been used as a canteen, but when congress passed the law, was closed, and had been fitted up for a library and reading.

Baseball players arc now engaged In settling old scores. The final step in some questionable undertaking is the lock step. From Gen. 13:8 as Follows: "Let TWre B« Ku Strife, I i*ray Tht*.

Uncle and nephew, Abram and Lot, both pious, both millionaires, and with kuch large flocks of bleating sheep and lowing cattle that their herdsmen got Into a fight, perhaps about the best pasture, or about the beat water privilege, or because the cow of one got hooked by the horns of the other.

A bachelor Is given fiir warning when a girl shows litm photographs o! herself when a baby. It was like two ships quarreling | for sea room in tho middle of the At- ! lantic ocean. There was a vast reach I of country, cornfields, vineyards, harvests and plenty of room in illimitable acreage. "Now," says Abram. "let us agree to differ. Here are the mountain districts, swept by the tonic sea breeze, and with wide-reaching prospect, and there is the plain of the Jordan, with tropical luxuriance. You may have either." Lot, who was not es rich as Abram, and" might have been expected to take the second choice, made the first selection, and with a modesty that must have made Abram smile, said to him: "You may ha^e the rocks and the fine prospect; I will take the valley of the Jordan, with all Its luxuriance of cornfields, and the river to water the The elevating influence cf music wilt; flocks, and the genial climate, and the The Arizona Indians are to be vaccinated.

So the controversy was forever settled, arvd the great-souled Abram carried put :he If Noah had let the building of the ark to a government contractor the flood would have been postponed indefinitely. When a wise prophet predicts the end of the world he invariably puts It so far in the future that no one be knows.will live to-contradict him.

Until the imagination perishes the •is!bn of the ultimate perfection wUl form and reform in the heart of every, generation. It is the inspiration o! every art, the end of every noble occupation, the secret of every fine character. The czar, as reported by Mr. Stead, "likes the United State3 and admires the principle of united sovereign states conducting their affairs peacefully without standing armies." The prln* clple is an admirable one and it Is barely possible Europe may apply it some of these days. But when the United States of Europe (copyright, by Mr." Stead) get that far along it is than probable there will be a number cf thrones sent to the historical lumfcer- room. That is a result of the realization cf Mr. Stead's dream which he hag probably not mentioned to his august .friend, the cznr. suggestion of the text: "Let there be no strife. I pray tbee, between me and thee. and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen. Is.not the whole land before thee?*' _ , . . . , : Well, in this, the last decade of the' nineteenth century, and in this beautiful land, which was called America, after Americus Ve^pucius, but should have been called .Columbia, after its discoverer, Columbus, we have a wealth of religious privilege and opportunity that is positively bewildering. Churches of all sorts of creeds and of all kinds of government, and all forms of worship, and all styles'6t architecture. Whkt opulence of ecclesiastical opportunity^ * Now, wfylie. )n desolate T#gTons there may be only" one" church, in the opulent districts of this cauntry there is sach a profusion that there ought to be no difficulty |n making a selection.

If Abram prefers to dwell on the heights, where he can only get a sprinkling from the clouds, let him consent that Lot have all the Jordan in which to immerse himself. « "Let there bo no strife, I pray thee, between xae. an^Jr thee, and Why have Irishmen grown content to remain in their native land? Why has their demand for separation from Great Britain weakened? Why has the record of political and agrarian crime fallen below that of England itself? Chiefly because parliament has made timely or belated concessions to more | between my herdsmlfe and thy herds- I men. Is not the whole Liad before I thee?" I Especially Is it unfortunate when j families allow angry discussion at the breakfast or dining or lea table, as to which Is the best church or cleuorai-. I nation, one at one end of the table I saying hn eould never endure the rigid | doctrines of Presbyteriantem, one at I the o.ther lend responding that she never could stand the farms of Episcopacy, and one at one side of the table saying he did not understand Justice. RecoLt legislation has it possible for the peasant to acquire a title to the land ha cultivates, and has gVen~him & voice In the local government. The hard technical claim of the landlord's vested rights has been qualified in the Interests of reason and how anybody could bear the noise In the Methodist church, and another declaring all the Baptists bigots. There are hundreds of families hopelessly split on ecclesiasticlsm, and In; the 'middle of every discussion on such "subjects there is a kindling of Indignation, and it needs some old father humanity. The methods of peaceful J .Abram to come and put his foot on &gltatjpn, although sullied by hysterical p&iaAoa, have won more than a century's* outbreak* of violence. The governor of a state Is said t, ihave declared his Intention to pirdon, or parole ail convicts In, the psnlteniiary ^ho have consumption, his argument being that the disease is contaitfous and tb« other prisoners might «atch It.

It 1s & tremendous question, asked all over Christendom, often asked. wUh' tears, and sobs and heart-breaks, and involving the peace of families, the eternal happiness of many souls. In mat- ,ter» of church attendance should the /wife go with the husband/ or the bus- •band go with the wife? 'I FlreV remember that all Jhe evanjrelicat churches bare eaoagk trctfc.i* them to save the soul and prepare, JM tsr on earth and in.

That in the 'vhole gospel. Get that Into your soul aud you are fitted for the here and hereafter. There are differences, we admit, and some denominations we like better than others. But suppose threa or four of us ruake solemn agreement to meet each other a week from now in Chlcajro on Important business arid one Roes by the New York Central railroad, another by the Erie railroad, another by the Pennsylvar'^ .-ailroad, another by the Baltimore &. Ohio, rai|; road. One goes this way because, (he mountains are grander, another ;t*ke* this because the cars are more lnxurious; another that because the speed is greater; another takes the other because he has long been accustomed to that route, and all the employes' are familiar. So far as our engagement to meet Is concerned, it makes no difference if we only get there. Now, any one of the innumerable evangelical denominations, if you practice its teaching— although some of their trains run on a broad gauge and some on a narrow gauge—will bring you out at the city of the New Jerusalem. • * • Mighty God! In all Thy realm Is there one man or woman professing religion, yet so stolid, so unfitted, so far gone unto death that there would bo any hesitancy in surrendering all preferences before such an opportunity of salvation and heavenly reunion? IT you, a Christian wife, are an attendant upon any church, and your unconverted husband does not go there because he does not like its preacher or Its music or Its architecture or its uncomfortable crowding, and goes not to any house of worship, but would go If you would accompany him somewhere else, change your church relations. Take your hymnbook home with, you to-day. Say bood-by to your friends in the neighboring pews and go with him "Tcva~ny~61fe ^f a hundred churches till hi3 soul is saved and he joins you in the march to heaven. More important than that ring on the third finger of your left hand it is that your Heavenly Father command the angel of mercy, concerning your husband at his convereicn, as in the paniblo of old: "Put a r!nc on his hand." N-o letter of more tavportanee ever came to the great city of Corinth, situated on what was called the "Bridge of the Sea," and glistened with sculpture, and gated With a style of brass the magnificence of which the following ages have net been able to successfully imitate, and overshadowed hy the Acro-Corinthus, a fortress of rock 2,000 feet Slgh^-T say no letter ever came to th*t great city of more Importance than that letter in which Paul puts the, two startling questions: "What knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, 0 man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?" Th3 dearest sacrifice on the part of the one Is cheap if It rescue the other. Better go to the smallest, v.'eakest, most insignificant church on earth and be co-partners in eternal bliss, than pass your earthly membership in a most gorgeously attractive oaurch while your companion stays outsfde of evangelical privilege. Better have the drowning saved by a scow or a sloop than let him or her go down while you rail by in the gilded calins of a Majsstic or Campania. Second remark: If both of the married couple be Christians, but one Is so naturally constructed that it is impossible to enjoy the services of a particular denomination, and the other is not so sectarian or punctilious, let the one less particular go with the otber who is very particular. As for myself, I feel as much at home in one denomination of evr.ngelical Christians as an-. flocks of Chrlsllau gr&ce, should sa? to-l.ot, who is built on a smailej; sealer "Lei there be no strife, I pray tbee, betwet-n me and thee, and betwe~en my bexdmen and thy herdmen. la not the w^ole &&d beWe jtfcee?"- A* you can, be*«dlned and happy- ainywhrrd. go with your companion to the church to wttjcli he. oc she must £0 0/ bo- l f t b l e • • * Take a hint from astronomy. Ptolemaic system made the earth tha. center of the solar system, and every-, thing was thought to turn round the earth. But the Copernican system cam*; and made the sun the center around' 'which the planets revolved. Tttdi bigot makes his little belief the center of everything, but the largesouled Christian makes the Sun of KighteouEne&s the center, and all denominations, without any clashing and each in its own sphere, revolving around i t Over the tomb of Dean Stanley In Westminster Abbey Is the passage of Scripture: "Thy commandments are exceeding broad.'' Let no man crowd us on a path like the bridge Al Sirat, which the Mohammedan thinks leads him from this world over the abyss of hell into Paradise, the breadth of the bridge less than the web of a starved spider, or the edge of a sword or razor, off the edges of which many fall. No; while the way is not wide enough to take with us any of our sins, it is wide enough for all Christian believers to pass without peril into everlasting safety. But do n,ot any of you depend upon what you call "a sound creed" for salvation. A man may own all the statutes of the state of New York and yet not be a lawyer; and a man may own all the best medicarf treatises ami not be a physician; and a man may own all the best works on painting and architecture and not be cither painter or architect; and a man may own all the sound creeds in the world and yet not be a Christian. Not what you have in your head and on your tongue, but in your heart &n<* in your life, will decide everything. * • • But let us all rejoice that, although part of our family may worship on earth in one church and part in another church, or, bowed at the. same altar in a compromise of preferences, we are, If redeemed, on the way to a perfect church, where all our" prefer-1 enccs will,be fully gratified.

At Its base was a low •tool,''on which the condemned are seated, and about three feet above that appears an fron rttlff -with a handle and screw, Dy the compression of which they are •trangled, instantly or Blowly according to sentence. The crowd.was very impatient; the fcour at -which the grim scene wa3 to have taken place was now long past. Loud murmur* arose from the people, who had heard moat exaggerated stories of Antonio's stature, strength and ferocity, and glances of anger and Impatience wore darted at the gilt dial of the town houBe, on which a bLack banner was hoisted but half-mast high. We recognized nearly all the crew of the San Ildefonso in front at the. mob; and there, too, wera a number of British sailors of H. *!..'• steam sloop of war Active, which had anchored in the harbor that morning.. Several priests ,1a, long, gTay robes were hurrying to and'fro,.b*ggiug "peseta'"to pay for masses for the soul of the condemned, ^lan.. ; As neither Hislop fibr I had any desire to witness a ecene go barbarous tod revolting as an execution, we hastened to our posada to breakfast.where we were aora* time-Jaier Joined by Capt. Jcse: Brtreaera,.-who had just come from the Castle of, Santa Cruz, where the culprit was confined, anil who gave us nil th4-particulars concerning the execution of -Antonio that ire cared to know* CHAPTER XXXVI. • Conclusion. I have but little more to add, for with this last eplsodft the course of wild adventures upon which I had been so strangely hurried, nearly closes. A few hotf.'S after the death of Antonio, when Hialopanil I, with Lambourne, Carlton an4 other survivors of the Eugenie were walling in the office of the British consul, to make some arrangements for rewarding Jose Eatre- Brerar-for^ls great kindness- te-ua allr we met Captain the Hon. Egerton B— of her majesty's ship Active, who was so struck with our story tha£. he. offered us all a passage to England, an offer we accepted with gratitude. His ship was leaving the African squadron, and returning home to be repaired. "Rodneys-Rodney," aald he, ponderingly, when the consul introduced me, "you ought to have been a sailor, for ycur name is well known in the service," and his words brought the memory of my poor mother's ambition back to me, and I thought oi the old picture which hung In the dining room at home. After a brief conference with his shipmates, Tattooed Tom now came forward, and twirling his fragment of a hat, said that "if the noble captain hnd no objection, as he, Ned Carlton, Probart and the other poor fellows of the Eugenie were out of a bertb, and at uncommon low water, they would gladly ship aboajjd the Active and en- № t * * b k ' slxty-eighta and thirty-two* peered above tht> brine; the anow-whltt hiuxvmock cloths, with the gold epauleto of the lieutenant of the watch gUiUring above them; the red-coated marines on the poop and forecastle; the great scarlet ensign of "Old England" floating at the gaff-peak, and that BO. part of the illusion might be wanting, a little marine flfer, playing shrilly but sweetly "Home, Sweet Home" in one of the boats that lay alongside, by the guess-warp boom. She was so thoroughly British' in lwrr aspect, so unlike anything we had seen in the aeas we had traversed, that we felt at home the moment our feet were on the deck of good old English oak—aye, as much at home a* rf we stoed upon the chalky South Foreland, and saw the great hop fields of fertile Kent at our feet, with the gray towers of Dover and the white spires of Deal in the distance. Old Lambourne uttered a shout, and pointed to the Union Jack. One must bo abroad and far aw»y to feel to the full the emotions that are excited, and the confidence which ia inspired on seeing the old flag, th*t baa swept every sea and shore, waving in its pride from the gaff-peak of a. British man-of-war. It is then that we feel "what & tway one little island lias exercised over the mighty earth." Hislop and I dined with Cayt. J\—, who was anxious to bear our story in detail. Our shipmates were told off to Olelr several divisions, and we were placed in the ward room mesa for the remainder of the voyage. We sailed that night, and under steam and canvas, as we bore away to the north, we soon saw the peak of Adam sinking into the dark blue «;a. "Adieu to the Canaries," said Hisli>p, waving his hat; "the next shore we see wity be Europe—the white cliff* of Old England, perhaps." But next day we sighted the grtmt pi tens ot the Salvage islands, a group of uninhabited rocks which are claimed by the Portuguese (perhaps no one t 9 : f c Capt B—, who saw^aJt fr glance Uuit they were all flrat-class seamen, readily accepted the offer and promised them the usual bounty, for which they gave three loud cheers for the queen, and it cams from their throats not the less heartily that they were far away from her and in a foreign land, all tattered as they were, with scarcely a «hirt to their backs. "Heaven bless you. my lads," said Hislop; "this is the best thing you can •do ; and believe me, Capt. B , you -will find my old shipmates neither waisters nor green hands, but thorough A. B.'s." As they all lored him, another cheer lor Hislop followed, and while the •captai n went off to the Active in his £ig, we all adjourned to a posado to "have a friendly glass together. Soon after, as the war steamer was to sail that evening, a boat under a midshipman came off for us, and then <we bade farewell to Jose EBttremera, •to hU mate, Manuel Gautler, to Fra Anselmo, and the old governor of Surafoaya. "Come, Dick, we hare no time to lose," said Hit lop; let us be off to the «hip while daylight lasts/' I shall sever forget my emotions of Joy when the boat with Hislop and the rest of tw caxte steering alongside the Active. , I • She iras «o cleAn, to. trig, ao square aloft; .with tbe bright copper gleaming in the water below; her black bulwarks 6 red portboloa, through whiob bar, surrounded by dangerous shoals.

On the Salvages the canary birds are ro numerous that an old voyager says 'it is impossible to walk withou' crushing their eggs." We touched at Madeira, and after i delightful voyage of about sixteen day* ran up the Channel, and came to an chor in the Downs on the 29tu of October. • • * I had been absent from home mor€ than a year, when I found myself in London—in mighty London, with it? dark forests of masts and its dark cathedral dome, that meets the eye from every point 0/ view—a wemdrous and bewildering change, after traversing so long the wide and lonely sea! With a heart swollen by anxiety to learn tidings of my father, my mother and sisters, I reached the counting room of my uncle'a firm, Rodney & •Cos,?.-In rthe city, but Ihej*. was aome.- tfcHte s * peculiar t ' y ' p ^ i , i pertained neither to sea nor shore,* and was unmistakably outlandish, that old John Thomas, the porter, seemed inclined to shut the door in my face. A short explanation, however, soon overcame his scruples, and I was then admitted. My uncle was at Erlesmere, but hia head clerk assured me that my family were all well, though they had long since given me up for dead, as a handsome (he assured me it was very handsome) white marble tablet erected to my memory in the Rectory church remained to testify. My letters from Cuba had never reached home. Aa/I had no desire to shock my parents by a sudden surprise, a telegram preceded me, and In less than an hour I was off by the express train f«*r Erlesmere. But with all its speed th« express seemed too slow for me. Mark Hislop accompanied me until he could get a ship, but before looking for thai he meant to visit hia old mother, who lived somewhere in Scotland. After all that we had undergone all that I had to show my family were the sword and old book found in the waterlogged brig, the creese of a mutinous Lascar, and the ring given m« by the governor of Surabaya. I hare now realised the truth ot Goethe's maxim: "He that looks forward aeas one way to pursue, but .hi LEGISLATURE. Oov.

The bill, which had been brought back from the governor, was t*k*n up in committee of the whole on the 13th as a special order. The beet sugar lobbyists had realized that they could not get the necessary two-thirds vote for the bounty of one cent a pound, as originally provided, and agreed to have the bounty cut to half a cent a pound. But even with thin cut there were some who fought the bill, Sayre and Colling wood being prominent After some other dilatory motions the bill was placed on passage by a vote of 21 to 8. The total amount allowed by bills for maintenance of state institutions is 53.157,031.26; for buildings and other special purposes, 9804,050. Of these amounts, the item for the maintenance of asylums for the insane is the largest, amounting to Si,707,738.70, new buildings for the asylums to cost $394,- 614.70; educational institutions come next, with a total appropriation ot 8925,175. The total amount to be raised by taxation is S7.13S.121.65, compared with 84.537.677 two years ago, an increase of 32,000,443.75.

'63, when over the blood-sodden field of Gettysburg the light began to break. Could ail the history of the wounded and dead have been written never before had been such a chronicle of rom a n c e a nd tragedy, bat it was not; --only now and then"*"Teaf7~asit^werer has bee,n written and preserved—thsi -one by an army nurse. My hands and skirts were dabbled in blood; my heart was faint within int. For long hours I had fasted and worked; into my ears had been poured the most tender of last messages; the most heart-breaking tales. "You ought to rest a little." said the Vough but kindly voice of an old surgeon; "only. If yon ee* stand up a minute longer—tkere is a ease over '•here I uaat yon to sea. la silence I followed him to, a small emnrea building that had been tuned into an hospital. Every pew was a bed of pain; iblood dripped from between the altar rails; even the aisles were partially blocked with the wrecks of humanity. It U in a sees* like this that one appreciates the "other side" of war. The surgeon led me straight to the jginser's stand and pointed to a ydang n an in shoulder straps, whose blonde -curls v/ere matted and whose beautiful blue eyes, beautiful even In their pain, -roved reetlessty over the waHs aod ceiling. He was lying flat on his back yrittfrntr « prayer boosr tarn pilloic ( saw at a glance that an arm was gone. The fincers iof the other hand worked' nerteosly. "I can't make oot whether he is in Ills right mind or not,** the surgeon said in an undertone. "^sUybe you can tell." I kneeled and laid ay hand cm his trow. He seetaed not to have noticed me before. Now he turned a startled, 'wondering gaze on me. H * lips moved, IJOt at first I could not catea the words. By and by I made out: "I want Dollle. Please bring Dollie He looked up with almost a smile In his eyes, and asked naively: "Don't you know Dollle?" "I am, afraid I don't," I said, and I smiled a little too. "Dollle is my sweetheart," he answered a moment later. His face wa3 very grave now. "And, oh, how she cried when I came away.' 1'oor Dollie!" A few moments I busied myself in trying to make him more comfortable; then he broke out again: "If only I could see her just a few minutes IL would be heaves on earth. Maybe she would come if she knew I am sick. I am Bizls, ain't IV "What ails me? I feel so queer and sore all over and " There!" he suddenly interrupted himself—"it you hook -quick yon will see Dolly's head up there when the light shines on that lamp. Look! At tho <iucstiou he flashed mo such a look. "Wil you?" That was ull, but oh, the intensity of it! "Write to S. B. StcrUng.Sterllns's Comers, Pennsylvania." I was not in tho least doubt of hl3 sanity at the moment, but before I could trace the words in my notebook, his gaze \v»3 ouce moro on the celling, and he waa babbling of mother and Dollie. Reluctantly I brought myself to search hU pockets, finding, strange to say, only a notebook with the name In gilt letters on the cover: "Donald Dee." My letter wa3 brief, only this: "Donald Deo Is dangerously wounded and calls ceaselessly for Dollle." It was a memorable Fourth of July, one never to be forgotten by the i>oor fellows suffering through the hot, Interminable hours, or the busy surgeons and nurses, who never paused in their work of moistening hot lips, bathing throbbing brows, washing out gaping wounds, receiving last messages, "writing letters home;" in short doing what they could when everything was to do.. In xay surprise away ft|tf!, J&Trtj .3: >«rlLedhow nJUuriTfier smiles at me out of the corners of her eyes—a trick of hers. Dear Dollie! She's gone now, ] dreamed of her •t • taere." Agaha: "I will tfve .all t 4»ve to the OB» who will bring me X>oU!e:" "•Vho Is'1 bottled i W«d/' Xi"l amoathlng his t "YOU DOLLZET?" last night; dreamed that her anas were about my neck and. that she was kissing jne and calling; me her soldier boy." "Was she wining far you to. goi to war?" I asked. Like' the doctor, L wjts not sure of his. mental condition?," "Yes. willing in a way. £ he felt that it was right tor me to goj and right is law with Doilte." I went away then, Uut an boor Hater, having bribed a goad woman over the way to let me baTe a pillow—her last one—I returned to his side, it seemed to me that he had failei rfarlng my absence and the trouble* took in his eyes was Intensified. When I had put the pillow under his head and bathed his face, be said, gratefully: "How very kind you are? Your touch 'minds me of mother^." Then I knew he was watching me, but he did not speak for a long time, and when he did it was oot to me: "Father in heaven, let me see Dollle once more; please send her to me." I could not stand either the words or the ; ethos in the voice. I must help answer i a u prayer if possible. By and *y r«*ld: "Could you tell me where to send for Dollie? Maybe she would come to you if It is not too far, and I should tell her how much you need her." It was a hazardous thing to say. We did oot often «are maketaeh suggestion*, tor, of course, few comparatire- ,-^ouid_-come._jBidjtt^4kl not do to raiae false hopes. ^ ^ cocfldeat that lie eould not live many hours, and his pleadings touchod me inexpressibly, even amid the scene fr.zd Eights, surrouncllus. As soon as possible we had the young captain removed to more comfortable quarters. "His wounds were doing fairly well, but the surgeon said the shock had been ti o much for his nervous system; he might or might not live. "Everything, I should say, depends upon the nursing," he added, looking meaningly at me. "I will do my best for him till Dollie comes," I made answer, but my heart misgave me; I did not think she would come, and If she did—well, the future was veiled, a3 futures are apt to be. Day by day he wasted away. Although I prepared him fairly decent messes he scarcely ate at all; and though a real-bedstead had been loaned him, with a real though somewhat dilapidated straw mattress on it, he seldom slept. Without being moody, he was not talkative. He seemed to be silently consuming by tomo toward longing. "He is dying to see his sweetheartpoor boy!" was what the surgeon said, and what we all thought.

The surgeon met rae, saying: "Obittahas. come and is waiting out there is the kitchen. See her and then break the news to him. He Is very, weak this morning." My heart beat fast; at last- If "would see Dollie with her arms about h«r lover's neck. I, *ould Imagine- iust the way he would' look at her.; He s&itf so much with hiss eyes.

My uncle dragged me out of the carriage and handed mo over to her, blinking with Bleep, dusty with travel, half crying with fatigue. I think she put, me to bed at once. At first, any conversation between us was very difficult, as I could not understand anything she said, and I was qaite determined not to learn English, whlefc stood condemned in my eyes as the language of my uncle. At last, hpwevcr, I had of course to give in, and to acquire by slow degrees, a knowledge of colloquial English. "It was a dilapidated house, and, I am sure, ia a most out-of-the-way place—t^ere was no railway for Eeveral miles. There was a small village, and a tiny church in a' very bad state of repair.

"The woman whom I have mentioned was my uncle's" housekeeper. She was kind to me, t ut I was afraid of her. She was a very reserved, silent woman— I think she spoke leas than any woman I ever k w v. Our bomm stood from Ik* high road, ana tnree miles from the village. I was never allowed beyced the grounds without the housekeeper.

Robinson Crusoe, Rasscla3, Gulliver, t ie Ifilgrix's Progress—that was my only idea of fiction. So the days and months crept slowly by. My uncle was often away, and I used to notice, at those times, a greater anxiety on the part c? the housekeeper to have an eye on mo, and that 1 ehould not go out of bounds. I was no doubt closely watched; but by degrees they grew to trust me more, for I wa3 very tractable. Constant isolation made me dull, quiet, unlike other girls. I had absolutely no link with the outer world; I had been distinctly forbidden to write to the nuns—I knew no one In England. My uncle u*;ed to have visitors—always men—but these I never eaw. I lived quite apart from him; hia rooms were at the other end of the house. I alway3 had my meals with the houEekeeper." "Pardon my interruption," said Mr. Martlneau, in a low tone. "Did you say you never Baw your uncle's guests?" "Wait a minute; I am going to tell you," the replied. "When I was between sixteen and seventeen .a change came about in my world. The old schoolmaster died. There was a pause in the regular routine of my days. Left entirely to my own devices, I used to wander all over the upper parts of the house. In one of the attics I found a box full of books. Some were dull and uninteresting, but some were—well, I do not think you can have any idea of what it was to me to become acquainted with Sir Walter Scott, Thacxeray and Lord Lytton. My brain almost reeled with an accumulation of new ideas. I wondered how in the world I could have remained where 1 was .so long in helpless, stupid ignorance of life. I soon resolved that I wrp.uld. J)ear if. no longer. I would brave my ur.cle; I would demand my freedom; I would ask why I was mewed up thus in a corner, away from all companionship. "I remember that night vividly. It was August, sultry and still, and both atrdosphere find -sky were beautifully ctear I had spent the afternoon under me willows by the b-rook, globing over my novel'till the facing light compelled me to close the book. The pastures, as I walked lingeringly back to tne htnc'i. -were heavy with dew, avA discolored the hem of my whtte cotton dress. I must have beea a. strange looking girl; my hair floated »11 over my sr/oulders and4 down n?y ^barfc txplow my Waist; nobody hfd ever told nie trlaTT"wss~growreg—u-^ and that my locks should, be arranged more neatly. I came with alow stops round the corner of the house, brushlcg' my hand softly along the thick dark box trees; my lightly-shod feet made no ncrfse on the gravel as 1 turned the corner of the clump of thick bushes which stood at each side of the entrance, and advanced toward the heavy * white columns of the porch. "Then I started back and paused irresolutely, for there was a stran&f r standing by the door— a young man with bare head and folded arms. I beg your pardon, Mr. Martineau, did I startle you?" "Not in the least, thanks. You—you can't think how you interest me. Please don't pause." "It seems a strange thing that up to tbat night I* had never encountered any of my uncle's guests, but it is nevertheless quite true. As he turned and caught sight of me, he utttered an exclamation of surprise. " 'You startled me,' he said. " 'You startled me, too,' I answered vaguely, as I looked at him. there came floating into my mind reminiscences ,of the romances with which I had lately filled my head. I thought of the first meeting between Ivanhoe and Rebecca as I looked up at him. He took my hand, drew me to his side, and patted .aiy hair kindly. "'Whose dear little girl are your !he said. "I felt cruelly wounded and hurt! There was every excuse for him—you see how email 1 am, no taller than a child, my hair was all down my back, amd the light was fading! But I never thought of that.

(To fee continued.) / Lots of Sheep In A a*trails A letter to Bradstreet'a from Melbourne. Australia, says: The terrible drought that during the last live years has devastated the central and western portions of South Wales Is not yet broken. The losses are un»alling, the number of sheep iu the- colony having fallen within the last seven years from about 62,000,00 3 to about 40,000,000 , the natural increase also bciug lost. It will requlrt several gooU years in succession to re* pair the damage. The districts prln* ciyully affected have almost literally boconie a desert, large masses of sand shifting from point to point, according to the prevailing wind. Boundaries are in ruapy oases obliterated; dams aud tjtnks, constructed at great ex* pe^se, are choked up and frequently buried. The sheep and the rabbits, ia their, last extremity, hare eaten the roota ot nearly «!! the natural vegetation. Doubtless tbe climatic inHuences will orrefc. more become favorable and for a tew years resettlement will proceed. But the trutii Is forcing Iueif upon the judgment of capitalists i c teicsted in gquauiog, that \he climaii of the central districts of Australia 14 too precarious to justify outlay, and a great extent of country is likely to ba abandoned. But the wide coa.su 1 dis tricts of the continent of Australia will, as they are improved, more than ma Us amends for the recession from an arid country that affords no encouragement for permanent settlement Notwithstanding the losses of sheep in New South Wales, the total of the Australasian flocks shows a slight increase as compared with ten years ago. At the close of 18S8 the total was estimated at about 97,000,000 , and three years later at about 124,500,000 . It U acw about 100,00,000 . Owicg to the effects of the drougtt the aggregate annual wool clln> has fallen off. For the year 1894-95 (from July 1 to June 30) the total quantity shipped from the Australasian colonies was 1,951,80 0 bales. Last season (1S97-08 ) the total was 1,718,20 0 bales, and it is estimated that for the current season, to close June 30 next, the total will be 1,700,00 0 bales. < A falling off ot four years in succession, especially in pure merino sheep, has, however, gradually relieved the consuming markets, which were somewhat congested with stock, and prices have been steadily rising of late. It is probable, therefore, that the net return to the Australasian tfheep farmers this season will be £2,000,000 to £3,000,000 greater than last season, eo that inere&seU value will compensate for diminished quantity. The frozen-meat t!rade» en adjunct of thetmstoraJ industry, has been well maintained, but when the drought Is thoroughly broken the demand for sheep for restocking purposes will adversely affect the Australian portion of the frozen-mutton trade for a time, the—New- -Eealaod -por_Uan_continuing to progress.

Leading papers of St. Louis, Mo., say that the Prohibition Union of Christian Men has al- | ready cost the liquor dealers over $100,000. The act of prohibiting thd sale of intoxicating liquors within 2,000 feet of the national soldiers' homes, at Dansville and Quincy, 111., has been approved by the governor, and is now a law. The Wine and Spirit Gazette, a leading organ of the liquor traffic, does not agree with Attorney-General Grigg's interpretation of the canteen law. It says plainly: "This clause was meant to abolish the canteen.' Miss Agnes Weston, the friend of English sailors, lately celebrated what she calls her "silver-wedding" with the navy; i. e., the 25th anniversary of her beginning her work for the sailors at Portsmouth. The modest little public house without drink" started twenty-five years ago, has developed into a magnificient building, on which $1,000,000 has been spent. Last year it sheltered 178,527 men, who paid $79,800 for food and temperance drinks. "In your opinion, what proportion of the prisoners in your jail were brought there directly or indirectly through the use of intoxicating liquors?" This question was recently submitted by the New Voice to 3,000 jailers of the country. Of these, 1,017 have already replied, their aggregate experience covering about 6,000 years. The replies show that in license states and territories, 72 per cent of crime has been caused by drink, while in prohibition states only thirty-seven per cent is traceable to this source. The District of Columbia has- the highest number^ 95 per cent, and South Dakota has the lowest, 19 per cent F. L. Andrews was in Jackson l u l l Bad management keeps more peo- Friday on busineas. L.

A anealc thief entered the Metropolitan National bank at Boston on the 28d and stole 810,003 while the paying teller's attention was drawn away for a moment. At the teller's window he asked for some directions about send* inj? a money order. The teller gave the information desired and the stranger stood at the. counter, apparently making" notes. Just then the teller was called to another part of the office and the visitor quickly thrust his arin through the ^rating of theiwindow and took 50 9100 notes and Hve 81,000 notes. A young lady stenographer in the bank saw the man's action, but he escaped. lie immediately took his departure from that city, but New York detectives nailed him as lie alighted from a train at the grand central station on the same day that the burglary was committed. The stolen tnoney was found on "tit's person. He gave his name as Georsre Shea, and said he was 31 years old. Ills real bame WHS is Philip Zf-mbele, and he lives in Chicago and is a wellknown crook. Ar« MakLug Preparation for War. Advices hav^ been, received from an absolutely reliable source at Pretoria, capital of the Transvaal, for the plan of campaign which, will be followed by Gen. Joubert, Commander-in-chief of the lioers, in the event of war between the Transvaal and Great Britain Gen. Joubert's force, it appears, will consist of 20,000 men armed with Mauser rifles, in addition to 40 <iJack-firing guns and 1,000 artillerymen, most of them drawn from the German and Dutch armies. With these troops and help expected from Orange Free State, Joubert expects to take the offence immediately after the declaration of war, enter the Orange Free State and march on Kimberley, the British diamond mining center in West Griqualand, which forms four ot the 70 divisions of Cape Colony.

During the course of debate in vthe reiehstag recently Herr Leibermann von Sonnenberg attacked Great Uritavn's proceedings in Samoa. The minister of foreign affairs, Baron von liuelov », teplied, saying: "I have no objection to again deftae our attitude on the Saraoan«question. We shall not depart from the stipulation of the Samoan treaty, nor allow others to turn ua from our courses. U'e recognize the rights of others while maintaining our own.<1 The foreign minister also said: "We shall also provide for full indemnification of the Germans whose proper y was destroyed by illegal British or American action.11 Trying to Overthrow Loutwt. A Paris special says: There is a force at work which makes the cabinet crisis dangerous. Ex-Premier Meline aspires to be president. A coalition, headed by'Meliue, which has already succeeded in smashing two cabinets, now aims by prolonging the present situation to force Loubet to resign. In case the cabinet crisis continues, the president may torn a. ministry, regardless of the chamber, to force an adverse vote, a> dissolution and an appesl to the country. Great excitement exists in Paris in consequence of the complication. WAR NOTES, It is improbable the war department will accept as final the decision of the Pennsylvania court declaring1 that the array canteen is subject to state taxation. The ottloer in charge of the canteen at Camp Mead appealed to the war department for assistance in defeudiny the case, and the department, approving of the application, transmitted it to the department of justice with the request that an officer of that department be assigned for the purpose. It is believed the decision was rendered before the defense could be prepared. 'J he principle involved Is ! regarded as important, and it is significant that the Pennsylvania decision is directly in conflict svith the formal opinion of the court of claims in the casa involving the canteen. That court decided that the canteen was one of the instrumentalities of government and therefore exempt from taxation. The insurgent army has taken to the swamps and hills beyond Imus. The largest force is supposed to be in the neighborhood of San Francisco de Malabon,holding a position more toward the lake or toward the coast according as exigencies demand. Gen. Wheaton returned to Imus on the 21st, bringing three men who were wounded in the battle the day before. The heavy rains that fall nightly make campaigning uncomfortable The roads are still good, but the rice fields adjoining them are pools of water. The Filipinos will not fight unless! they can meet our troops in positions most advantageous to themselves or take our reeonnoitering bodies in ambush. Surgeon-General Wyraan, of the marine hospital serviee, has received word from Dr. Park, the quarantine officer at Santiago, reporting the existence at that port of 14 cases of yellow fever, and four deaths from that cause. The fact that the season had advanced thus far with the appearance of only a few sporadic cases of yellow fever led to the general hope that the improved sanitary condition of Santiago, Havana and other Cuban cities since the Amer* can occupation might result ^'preventing an outbreak. Hut now that hope is blasted. Every precaution is being taken to prevent the spread of the disease. According to CoL Thos. Ward, of the adjutant-general's staff, the regular army is now practically full, but men are being enlisted at the rate of 1,000 a week. These men, he says, are not for a provisional army, but will be used to complete the strength of companies, to replace sick and disabled men ana those whose terms of service have expired. Col. Ward says none of the men now being enlisted will be used to fill up volunteer regiments jiqw in the Philippines.

On the contrary Admiral Sampson is now in better health than he has been at any time since or during the war. and has no intention of giving up his command The war department is preparing to accommodate the troops who are to be returned to the United States from Cuba and Porto Rico during the summer at the military posts of Fort Ethan Allen and Plattsburg, on the shore of Lake Chatsplain.

The up-to-date farmer has 1«art,«d the wisdom of doing his own thinking, and in selecting a binder or mower to weigh carefully the actual points of superiority and to avoid were "talking" or "selling" points. The "life" of a machine.depends largely on its main frame, which should be solid enough to outwear the working parts and yet not heavy enough to tear itself to pieces through its own inertia. The Deering Ideal Binder has a highcarbon steel frams, hot-riveted at the joints. Tail machine has stood the most severe testa ever put on a binder. It has a cutting appartus that will cut any erop th*t grow*; elevators that will elevate anything it cuts; a simple reel with greater range of adjustment than any other, operated with a single lever; the famous Deering Knotter and Binder which never misses; the only bundle carrier worthy of the name, and finally Deering Roller and Ball Bearings, making it the lightest draft binder that ever cut a Bwath.
