"By Jovai I believe the mater . grows lovelier every day," he exclaimed. "And how superbly she sits her horse!" Helen frowned a little. Mrs. Ather- . ton's beauty was not a congenial theme with her. 'That reminds me, Harvey; I spoke to your mother today about the bills, as yon suggested, and'she refused to look at tbem, she is satisfied with things as they are," "Oh, veTy well; In that case we'll let the matter drop," said Harvey, easily. "And allow the tradesmen to go on cheating us, as I am convinced they ' do? My conscience would not permit me to remain inactive under such circumstances. No, dearest, you must ' see her yourself, and bring her to our way of thinking—the only right way. You have great influence with her." ; "Yes, I fancy I have," said Harvey, *«omplacontly. "But you see I've never meddled with her business affairs, and I hardly like to begin now." "Why not? It is your duty to protect her Interests and your own. The property will all be ours some day—" "God forbid!" broke in Harvey. "I \oan't Imagine life without the dear V little aaater. Beside, she is young yet —she may outlive us both." Helen was a good woman; but she did not look overjoyed at this suggestion.' . "Even then there is baby tb con- ' sider," she said smoothly. "We t all ] owe*a certain duty to* bim.

Harvey puffed with evident enjoyment for a time, chatting of trifles. Then he said quits easily, "By the way, what is this little misunderstanding between you and Nell? She is much disturbed by it, though I assured her she is over sensitive." The smile left Gladys' face. "Oh! Then you camo here because Helen sent you?" she asked. "Well, not exactly; I knew a ward from me would set matters straight, so I thought I'd better come. Where are you going?" "Only to an easy chair; this ottoman isn't comfortable." There were tears in heraeyes but Harvey did not see them. "If we are to have a consultation, I may as well sit at my ease."

Gladys* lips quivered. - ^You must admit that she is your adviser—a wise one, perhaps, from her point of view," she said gently. "But you are both reasoning in the dark. Harvey, you have no legal claim on my property." "No claim on my own father's money!" "It was not his money. He was a poor man. My father was very angry _w_k<m_Jhe married one of his daugh- Jtera."

"Then I can't understand why you refuse to accept her sensible suggestion and look into things a little,"with herald. Nell's a first rate busine33 woman, and I don't believe you realize how much money is spent in the house." "You have your full share of all that comes into it, Harvey." " Why, of course," he responded, with a half wondering look, as if surprised at the reminder. "What is yours is also mine in a sense; we enjoy a common inheritance. It is because our interests are identical that Helen and I wi3h to protect them. You surely see that, little woman? It would ple^ss the dear girl vary much if you'd take her Into ycur confidences-treat her more like a daughter in truth a3 she is in spirit." Gladys did not answer for a few moments; she moved her chair so that her face was partly in shadow, while she could note every expression of his. "Before we talk any further," she presently said, "I should like to know just what it is Helen desires. I comprehend that she wishes to reduce the general expenses of the establishment; but how? Does she want to take Phebe's place?" "Hardly that," returned Harvey, -flushing, "She thinks, however, now she is here, you no longer need the services of a housekeeper." "And do'you think I ought to turn out an old and faithful servant after a lifetime of devotion to me and mine?" . "Certainly not; she would remain as your maid." "So that is it!" exclaimed Gladys, with a half laush. "I thought some great idea was agitating Helen's mind. Dear, clumsy Tomlinson my maid! Apd I suppose there are other servants she thinks might be dispensed with. Well, perhaps they could; but I like (to have plenty of people about the place"—her voice grew firmer here— "and I intend to have them. You need no assurance that I am glad to share my house and its luxuries with you and your Wife. But you must accept things as they are. I wiU brook no further interference;" "Interference! Surely you cannot regard my dear wife's suggestion as interference!" ^JWiat else is It?

Gladys was very pale, and «hivered once or twice as she talked. • But Harvey felt no compassion for her; bis sympathy was for himself. He remembered that Mrs. Atherton had never talked of hts father, and answered his childish inquiries concerning him vaguely, diverting his thought! to other subjects; but he had not dreamed of this, and the knowledge was bitter. "This man, your husband, is he living?" "No; he died in prison a year ago." "In prison!" Harvey drew a sobbing breath. "My God, what an end to my boyish dreams! But I don't understand even yet. If he spent all your money, how does it happen that you are still rich?" "When papa died I had my full share of the estate," she answered after a scarcely perceptible pause. "It was then Phebe and I came here." "And my grandfather left me nothing?" "Nothing. He hated you, poor little orphan that you were, because you were your father's child. That is why I devoted my life to you, dear." There was infinite tenderness in Gladys' tone, but Harvey hurt and humiliated by what he* haa learned, was not moved by it. "That was the least you could do.*1 he said coldly," since it is to you 1 am indebted for my heritage of shame. We little know what people really are, do we?

"X shall get over this in time—with my wife's help." "HarveyK you surely will not tell Helen the secret I have given years of my life to hide?" cried Gladys. "It is not wholly your own."

Of all tbe devilish, cold blooded things done by men you will have read of few to equal what took place aboard of the Spanish merchantman, the Santa Maria, in the year 18C2. It was published in the papers at the time, but only a partial account and as we had war and excitement at borne the Incident was soon forgotten. One of tbe oldest business houses in Mexico up to tbe date above named was that of the Spanish house of Galera &*Co., founded 75 years previously. The business of this house was banking, mining, merchandising and cattle raising. It had a dozen branches In Mexico, and it had dealings with half a dozen countries. In a financial sense it was stronger than the government, and its yearly profits footed up an enormous sum. A son of the founder had succeeded to the management, and when old age came he turned the active work oyer to a cousin named Alvarez. The new manager was a young man of 25, born In Spain of a fine family, and bad been educated for the priesthood. He was a man without a vice. Such was his probity that he was called "Holy Alvarez" even In his youth. At an enormous salary and with autocratic powers young Alvarez took over the management of affairs la Mexico, and almost as soon as he stepped foot on North American soil a i change took place in his character. He began to drink, gamble and play fast and loose. At about that time a noted French adventuress appeared at the Mexican capital, aid Alvarez speedily became her favorite. Of course there was gossip about the new manager, and there were those, who predicted that his extravagances would ultimately bring ruin to the old house, but there were no official complaints. He knew little or nothing of business, but he did know how to spend money royally, and In a year he had people guessing bow much longer it would take him to bankrupt the house. It was after tbe balance sheets bad proved to him that he was spending more than the profits of the house and was a debtor to an enormous amount that be set about preparing a grand coup. Tbe Spanish merchantman was loaded with a consignment of gold, silver, copper, furs and dyestuffs for Spain and the cargo Insured to the last cent Alvarez took Into his confidence a young man named Prado, and when the Santa Maria sailed his confederate went with her as supercargo. The ship was manned by a crew of 14 men, all Spaniards. Thirty days after her sailing to the southward tbe American bark Homeward left the port of Valparaiso homeward bound. We had been out three days when we ran into a dead calm, with the weather so terribly hot that the deck planks smoked in the sun. As we lay heaving on the ground swell a small boat drifted Into view. It seemed to be empty, and It had been in sight for two hours and was not over half a mile away when the captain decided to pick it up. A boat was sent off, and when she returned with tbe stranger we had a sad spectacle under our eyes. There was a dead man lying at full length under the thwarts. «vn? a-tcjtfaw Wgg*»» *utp uu»t an «ttu rUi»p^. off her mid »*a» Uriv4ng away bvoiiUKldf to* wiu/l and, see* .

I was one of the crew of bis boat arid the sight we saw as wo climbed over the rail was one never to be forgotten. Five men lay dead on the decks, and the corpses were in a far worse state than the one In the boat. Too could telt ar a glance that the head men were Spaniards, and yet their hands and faces were as black aa your shoe, and the bodies bad ehruak and shriveled until they were of tbe size and weight of a boy. la the forecastle and cabin we found vtxiviv ' ujjuuyu t v unuur U|r <• sevw vw 14. There were 14 dead men and not a, living thing aboard of the Santa Maria. On the cabin table there were, tbe remains of breakfast, and in the fore* castle were the kids with, food still is them. Whatever had occurred was in conjunction with the morning meaL Aa there was no fever smell aboard the derelict our captain , came over to try-hie band ^t-se4v4nr the mystery. The ship's papers and log were soon found. We got her manifest and port and date of sailing, and the last entry on the log had been made five days before. At that time all was well. The bodies in cabin and forecastle were of course in a better state of preservation, and after an inspection the? captain gave it as his opinion that the entire crew had been poisoned. The attitude of each and"every man went to prove it Their eyes were open and rolled back, their fingers clutched and their knees drawn up. That derelict was a great find for us. Her manifest showed-ar-efcrgo valued at over $2,000,000, and the ship was all right above deck. As to the water in her hold, we manned the pumps and had it out to the last pint In two hours. Then we made an investigation to find the leak, and we soon discovered that a single auger hole had been bored in her bottom. The orifice had become more or less clogged with seaweed, and it would have taken another three or four days to have filled the ship. We argued that the man In the boat must have come from the-ship. As he had got away alone and bad provisioned the boat, It must have been after the others were dead. He \t was, then, who had brought about tbe wholesale death of the crew, and he must have had a strong motive. That motive was discovered when some of the boxes of treasure were hoisted out of the lazarette and broken open. Aside from one or two boxes, the whole treasure business was a fake. Lead had been substituted for silver and gold. The furs were a cheat and a fraud, and the value of the dyestuffs was not one-quarter of the sum they were Insured for. A second and closer search of the stateroom evidently occupied by the supercargo gave us the key to unlock the whole mystery. He had left behind him a letter of instruction signed by Alvarez at the City of Mexico, and from that we learned that the name of the dead man was Prado. That letter, written In Spanish, was of no old to us except as far as the two names went, but later on. when translated Into English, its contents-were of a nature to make a man turn pale. The instructions were to do Just what had been done. After the Santa Maria had reached a certain position be was to poison the crew with a certain drug prepared and then scuttle the ship and take his leave In a small boat It was doubtless figured that if not picked up he could easily reach the coast of Chile; but as I have told you, we found him dead in bis boat How his death came about I cannot say, as he had food and water and had not encountered any bad weather. I have always believed, however, that in his remorse for the awful deed he had done, coupled with the terrors of his lonely situation, he deliberately drank of the poison which had laid the others low. It was before the crew became too ill to move about that sail was taken off and she,was made snug against tbe weather. With the auger hole plugged and a part of our crew on board the Santa Maria, we laid our course for the port of Valdivla, and in due time both craft arrived there in good shape. The dead had been given burial, of course, but there was no lack of other proofs. As soon as the plot was unraveled steps were taken for the arrest of Alvarez in Mexico, and our claim for salvage was also filed. Gov- - £ ,w SPP ^ tth. Had ne bored natf a ooaeo BOM» ; • ; He bad not perished for lack of food i eminent* move slowly in international or water, as the boat was well supplied. It was sickness of some sort that had brought his end, and the hot sun had baked and shriveled hia body until the sight was not .one to look at. twice. As there was no evidence that a second person had occupied the boat we inclined to the belief that a mutinous crew had sent their captain adrift There were some who thought he' might have been blown oft the. coast and yet in that ease it did not] nun by committing suicide, seem as if the craft would have been later the crew of the Homeward got a stocked with food and water aa eh* We gav« the corpse burial aud.boistr. the puzale was solved. We had caught a breeze and made a ran of a hundred mlN The* we slt*t^ a.derelict Jtoe matters. It was months before they got ready to arrest the man who had plotted this sea tragedy. He had meanwhile continued his career of dissipation and extravagance, depending upon his Insurance money to make everything good- News got to him somehow from Valdivla .of the derelict being towed in, and he left JUexlco and hid away In Bolivia. There he waa at lift found, but he cheated the bangstead of one the ship would have I n f l o w * Before*being overhauled, and Uv, that case we could have made nothing over finding hie corpse In the boat* The fact would have been en* tered on the tog and reported, but would have mused no comment oufe fide of marine electee.

It 1B a curious fact that -many insetM women are possessed with an insatia ble vanity and a mania for "make up/ says the London Express. Sometime* the only way -to keep tbe peace wltt such patients is to allow them a cer tain freedom in the use of cosmetics. A wave of unmanageableness ofter passes over the woman's side of an asylum if the material of a new uniform dress deserves the title of dowdy. Monj insane women will tear—a—sombeibrown gown to shreds, but if It is a pretty blue or a smart red they preserve it carefully against spots and dust The effect that dress has on the insane is so well known that the lunacj commissioners make special comment! in their official reports to the lord chon cellor on the colors and material of the gowns supplied to women in the varl ous asylums. • Very ejever devices to obtain cosmet ics are resorted to by patients infectec with the mania of vanity who hav€ been accustomed to artificial aids to beauty. They soak paper roses in wa ter and use the tinted result as a cheek reddener, or they put the red covers oi books borrowed from the asylum library In a basin of boiling water and bottle the carmine fluid for future fac« use. Fresh flowers of reddish tinge arc crushed and used on faded cheeks an<5 wrinkled skins. One former society beauty, now in an asylum, is perfectly tractable so long as she is allowed to wear a curly false fringe and to use a modified amount of rouge and powder. If these are taken away, she becomes suicidal and re fuses to eat. Another notable example Is that of an old woman with gray hair who becomes homicidal when she is deprived of a beautiful golden wig suited to a girl of 17. The experiment was tried once, but so much violence resulted that the commissioners recommended that she should be allowed to retain her headdress. Rpfora urimUalnn tf> thp asylum she had poisoned three persons. But the wig and plenty of pink powder keep her peaceable and contented. * The friends of patients who find their happiness in personal decoration bring tbem small packets of cosmetics, or rather they smuggle them In, for such artieles are contraband and against the rules. Though their minds are gone, the patients are clever enough to make little holes in their mattresses and to Invent most cunning hiding places for their treasures. In those cases where restriction of toilet appliances increases Insane outbreaks, tbe attendants let these little beauty stores pass by unnoticed. So long as the make up is not too evident the attendants do not interfere. Strictly speaking, curl papers are not allowed in asylums. Aa a matter of fact their use Is overlooked. Curled fringes and wavy locks often make all the difference between peace and rebellion. The Ingenuity displayed by feeble minds in turning everyday articles to facial use is often surprising. Brick dust scraped from the asylum walls, and powdered hearthstone have frequently figured on faces in lieu of rouge and powder. A spoonful of red currant jam provided a week's roses for pale cheeks. Indelible pencil coal dust and blacklend make a dark stain for colorless eyelashes and outline deficient or white eyebrows. A handful of flour lx»jcgrd from the kitchen Is an excellent substitute for tollft powder, while sroy rtr faded hair 1« aonjetimea tinted with a Mtrong decvTtioii of ten leaves.

They have the right to fish in it or (rive that right to others. This is a question which many will be glad to have settled. porno^e./ The creature swam Into the net and waa not able to get out Being a rnammnl. or warm blooded animal It Is compelled to rjee for the purpose of "breathing, which tt does tbrougb Its blowhole Just behind the neck. But baa entangled In a net ft 1$ unable to rlae to the surface and la drowned in tta own element. The bnge carcase, often weighing from 200 to 400 pounds, la dreaaed by the fishermen and pot Into the tank and brought to the market where It la kept In the refrigerating tank until Friday morning, when It is sold to Italians by auction. The successful bidder alway a auDoiviQca iiio BOOS MVS tLWf^r half for himself, and the rest Is snared out among truck peddlers of Mulberry street where the Italians congregate. Then there is joy in Little Italy. The news Is spread all over the colony, women going to'their friends to tell the tidings. Very early In the morning a crowd, gathers round the store of the padrone, who has the half porpoise .displayed in all its hugeness upon a slab of wood. Fins, head, tall and insldea l a d been removed by the fishing foil, and there is nothing save the solid •meat and the great backbone. The color is a deep red. except the belly streaks, which are lighter and are streaked with fat and resemble pork very closely indeed. This is the meaning of the name, for porpoise is a corruption of the old London Latin, porc-plsce. In Roman Latin this would have been porcus plscis. The men of the north call these animals sea swine, and this Is preserved in the French marsouln, which they undoubtedly learned from the Nor* mans. The Italian padrone begins business about 7 o'clock In the morning. His price is 4 cents a pound for all quantities, large or small. His scales are above bis bead. His customers surround , him in an anxious ring, each provided with wrapping paper. Hi? watchful and affectionate family take the money and bring from time to time a freshly sharpened knife. The padrone first cuts off a chunk of about 40 pounds and then proceeds rapidly to subdivide it according to the want* of the buyers. Slice after slice of the deep flesh falls before his knife and passes lnto^ the.paper of the customers. Th* A V i l l a g e B l s t c k t m l t h Snved file U l - tleSfeerti L,ifet Mr. H. FT.

Representative Loudenslager of New Jersey, secretary of the Republican congressional committee, claims the election of 204 Republicans to the next house, a majority over all of 51. The Republican majority in the present house is 12. Chairman Richardson, of the Democratic congressional committee, conceded that the next house would bo safetyRepio1>licanTl>uTUc''i^WfdrZo~e»r timate the majority. Massachusetts furnished one o f the surprising features of the balloting— surprising to both parties. While the Democrats, before election, claimed nearly everything, they seemed to have overlooked the old Bay state. They said nothing about materially cutting down the majority in this Republican stronghold, and Republicans evidently Had little /car that Bryan would dcvelope much strength in the state. The returns indicate that Bryan has carried Boston by 0,000 and cut down McKioIey's plm..* ity in the state from ll72,000 in 3800 to 50,000.

The Courier Journal, at midnight, says returns from two-thirds of the counties show Bryan and Beckham majorities. The result will depend on the sis© of the majority in the eleventh congressional district, which Is heavily Republican. MAINS. 17p to midnight returns had been received from about 210 cities, towns and plantations In Maine showing a Republican plurality of 18.481 as against 31,988 for the same towns in 1898. The returns to that hour Indicated a Republican loss of 17 per cent and Democratic gain of 21 per cent as compared with 1898. Figuring on this bals the Republican olurality in the stato would be about 27,200. RHODE ISLAND. On an increased vote. Bryan has made considerable gains in Rhode Island. Mc- Kfn)ev*fc plurality of four years ago was 22.978. Only half of the 143 districts in the state have been heard from, those missing inctamngTmost of those In the cities with most of the/ fifty-nips in Providence. Mc- TCinTey's plurality win ne about zo.oou. it is believed. In 1896 every city and town in the state gave McKinley a plurality. The Republican state committee admits a reduced plurality. SOUTH CAROLINA. A very light vo^e was polled in South Carolina. The full state ticket and full congressional ticket was elected by the Democrats; There was some .opposition to Bryan by prominent cotton mill men btit it failed to develop much strength. T B X A s . - The Democratic state ticket in Texas Is' plected by a majority in excess of 100,000. The legislature Is almost solidly Democratic. It is estimated that the majority for state electors will not fall short of 175,000, and may go above that' figure.

CRIMINAL VIRTUE. (Spain's Queer l+\r Prsrerite JReseno o l Royalty from Peril. There is a Spanish law that no sub- '_ je>f ahall tniifh thA porann nt the, klpg or queen. Alfonso XIII., king ol Spain, nearly suffered a severe fall from this rule in his childhood. An aunt gave him a swing* When he used it for the first time the motion frightened him, and he began to cry, whereupon a lackey lifted him quietly out of it, and so, no doubt, prevented him from falling. The breach of etiquette, however, was flagrant and dreadful. The queen was obliged to punish it by dismissing the man from his post. At the same time she showed her real feelings on the subject by appointing him immediately to another and better place in the royal household. In another case a queen oi Spain nearly lost her life in a dreadful way owing to this peculiar rule. She had been thrown when out riding, and, her foot catching in the stirrup, she was dragged. Her escort would nol risk interference, and she would have been dashed to pieces but for .the heroic interposition of a young man. who shopped the horse and released her from her dangerous position. Ai soon as they saw she was safe, hw escort turned to arrest the traitor whe had dared to touch the queen's foot. HELPED THE CHIEF, Dow » J~oyal Xnrlneor Did HI* Urotber Groat Sorvic*. Metvdville, Pa., Nov. 12.—(Special)— The Loyalty of the Members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers ; te proverbial, A circumstance occur-} red in this city some days ago, which \ emphasizes this feeling. ' Frank J. Zeller, Is Chief of* the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers No. 143.—Ho is —extremely—popular among his fellow railway men, and: one of the best known Engineers run4 nlng out of Meadville. When the an-j nouncement was made a short time) ago that Frank was pretty sick, its caused a great deal of regret among' the boys. Soon he was missed from his engine, having had to "lay off j on account of his back. A brother or the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engl neeTS, who had been ill with similar symptoms, some time before, and who had been pulled through, called to see; Mr. Zeller, and in a brotherly way^ took with him a box of Dodd's Kidney; Pills, the Remedy which had cured him. He advised Mr. Zeller to try, tharn with th? H"w1t that after seven - boxes had been used, be was entirely] well, and able to work. ;, In an Interview Mr. Zeller states: . "I had suffered for four years witli this affliction, being often kept awake at night with pains, and at times unable to work. I tried several of the' advertised remedies, and found that they did me no earthly good. Finally, a member of our Order, who had beer; cured of Kidney Disease by Dodd's, Kidney Pills brought me a box, and asked me to try them. I had little; faith in them, but as a drowning mangrasps at a straw to help him. so L' took the Pills. I used seven boxes,' and am today as we}l and strong a' man as there is in Pennsylvania." Naturally, Mr. Zeller fcelB very grateful, and his complete recovery has delighted his many friends, and none more than the good Brother, who feels that he was instrumental In saving ^heUfeof the Chief.

That daughter is a precious legacy, and the responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the mother/ The mysterious change that develops the thoughtless girl into the thoughtful woman should find the mother on the watch day and nio;ht. J>s she cares for the physical well-being of her daughter, so will the woman be. and her children also. When the young girl's thoughts become aluggish, when she experiences headaches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits an abnormal disposition to sleep, pains in the back and lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude, and a dislike for the society of other girls, when she is a mystery to herself and friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptlv. At such a time the greatest aid to nature is Lydia Is. Finkham's Vegetable Compound. It prepares the young system for the coming change, and is the surest reliance in this hour of trial.

In some grottoes in Algeria French explorers have recently discovered stone implements mingled with the remains of extinct animals belonging to Quaternary times.

"The Bright Side of Humanity." n new book by Dr. Edward Leigh Pell, is said to b}3 the first serious attempt that has ever been made to present tho characteristic noble traits of all races. In the preparation of his book Dr. Pell examined one thousand works of travel and although all of them sst forth-, with considerable detail the vices and disagreeable traits of the people which they profess to describe, cuiy two hundred dwelt at any length on their virtues. To supply the compensatory high lights in these dark pictures was a happy thought and must have been a pleasant task. a Little has been said, and probably as . little thought, of the beneficent work done by the railroads in aiding and promoting the measures set on foot for the relief of stricken Galveston. Thousands of refugees from that city received free transportation to any part of the country, and immense quantities of supplies were rushed forward without charge". This ready re-. sponse to the cry of human needs characterized all the great railway systems of the country, the express^ telegraph, and telephone companias. The cash value of the services thue rendered is as impossible to estimate as tho amount of human suffering and misery they helped to alleviate. One of the most peculiar suit3 at law ever brought before any court is soon to toe tried in Van Buren county, Michigan, between two neighbors and old friends. One of the men, H. D.

A few months ajgo' the latter complained of the formers bees destroying the early Crawford peaches, claming that the bees came into his orchafd in large numbers, bit holes in the fruit and rendered it unmarketable for which he demanded $200.

(Copyright* W00, Louis Klopech. N. T.) In this discourse Dr. Talmage follows Joshua on his triumphal march and speaks encouraging words to all who .are engaged. In the battle J?£_tSJi.. life; text, Joshua 1, 5, "There ahalfnot any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life." Moses was dead. A beautiful tradition says the Lord kissed him and in that act drew forth the soul of the dying lawgiver. He had been buried, only one'person at the funeral, the same one who kissed him. But Ood never takes a man away from any place of usefulness until he has some one ready to replace him. The Lord does not go looking around amid a great variety of candidates i o find some one especially fitted for the vacated position. He makes a man for that place. Moses has passed off the stage, and. Joshua, the hero, puts his foot on the platform of history so solidly that all the ages echo with the tread. He wa3 a magnificent fighter, but he always fought on the right side, and he never fought unless God told him to fight. He got his military equipment from God, who gave him the promise at ths start, "There shall not any man be able to-stand before thee-all the days of thy life." God fulfilled this promise, although Joshua's first battle was with the spring freshet, the next with a stone wall, the next leading on a regiment of whipped cowards and the next battling against darkness, wheeling the sun and the moon into hi3 battalion, and the last against the king of terrors, death—five groat victories. No Goinjr Backward. As the hand of the Lord God is taken away from the thus uplifted waters— waters perhaps unlifted half a mile—they rush down, and some of the unbelieving Israelites say: "Alas, alas, what a misfortune! Why could not those waters have staid parted? Because perhaps we may want to go back. O Lord, we are engaged in a risky business. Those Canaanites may eat us up. How if we want to go back? Would it not have been a more complete miracle if the Lord had parted the waters to let us come through and kept them...parted to let us go back if we are defeated?" My friends, God makes no provision for a Christian retreat. He clears the path all the way to Canaan. To go back is to die. The same gatekeepers that swung back the amethystine and crystalline gate of the Jordan to let Israel pass through now swung shut the amethystine and crystalline gate of the Jordan to keep the Israelites from going back. Victory ahead, but water 30 feet deep behind, surging to death and darkness and woe. But you say, "Why did not these Canaanite3, when they had such a splendid chance. standing ou the top of the bank 30 or 40 f;et high, completely demolish those poor Israelites down in the river?" I will tell you why. God had made a promise, and ho was going to keep it. "There shall not any man be able to stanJ before thee all the days of thy life." But this is no place for the host to Etop. Jcshua gives the command, "Forward, march!" In the distance there is a long groyo of trees, and at the end of the grove Is a city. It is a city with arbors, a city with walls seeming to reach to the heavens, to buttress the very sky. It is the great metropolis that commando the mountain pass. It is Jericho. That city was afterward captured by Pompey and ones by Herod th« Great and once again by the Mohammedans, but this campaign the Lord plans. There shall be no swords, no sbirkX no battering ram. There shall be only one weapon of war and that a rain's horn. Tho horn of the slain ram was sometimes taken, and holes were punctured in it, and then the musician would put the instrument to his lips, and he would run his fingers ovev this rudemusical instrument and r.'rilte. a great deal of sweet harmony for the people. That was the only kind of weapon. Seven priests were to take t'c33 ruda, rustic musical instruments, and they were to go around the city eveTy day for six days—one a day for six days— and then one the seventh day they were to go around blowing these rude musical instruments seven times, ami then at the close of the seventh blowing of the ram's horns on the seventh day the peroration of the whole scene was to be a shout, at which those great walls should tumble from capstone to base. Victory poHom rfefoat. The seren priests with the rude musical Instruments pass all around the city wall* on the first day and score a failure. No so much «*'< a piece of plaster broke loose from the wall, not so much as a loosened rock, not *0* much t* ^ piece or mortar log? from far place.- "There* cay the unbelieving Israelites, "did I not tell you »0? Why, those ululate* are foaU, The idea of going around the city with those musical Instrument* and expect* log in that way to deatroy i t Joshua/ has been spoil*! ' He thinks because he has overthrown and conquered the spring freshet he can overthrow the stone wall. Why, it is not philosophic. Do you s o t see there is no relation between the blowing of these musical instruments and the knocking down of the wall? It is not philosophic." And I suppose there were many wiseacres who stood with their brows knitted and with the forefinger of the right hand to the forefinger of the left hand arguing It all out and showing that it was not possible that such a cause could produce such an effect And I suppose that night in tho encampment there was plenty of caricature, and if Joshua had been nominated for any high military position he would not have received many votes. Joshua's stock waB down. The second day the priests blowing the musical instruments go around the city and again a failure. The third day and a failure, tho fourth day and a failure, fifth day and a failure, sixth day and a failure. The seventh day comes, the climacteric day. Joshua is up early in the morning and examines the troops, whiles all about, looks at the city wall. The priests start to make the circuit of the city. They go all around ono, all around twice, threa times, four times, five times, six timo3, seven time3, and a failure. There is only one more thing to do, and that Is to utter a great shout. I see the IsraeHtish - army straightening themselves up, filling their lungs for a vociferation such as never was heard before and never heard after. Joshua feels that the hour has come, and he cries out to his host, "Shout, for the Lord hath given you the city." All together the troops shout: "Down, Jericho! Down Jericho!" And the long line of solid masonry begins to quiver and to move and to rock. Stand from under! She falls! Crash go the wal s and temples, the towers, the palace3, the air blackened with tho dust. The huzza of the victorious Israelites and the groan of the conquered Canaanltss commingle, and Joshua, standing there in the debris of the walls/ hears a voice saying, "There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life." , Tim Savior'* Deliverance. Only one house spared. Who live3 there? Some great king? Ko. Some woman distinguished for great kindly deeds? No» She had been conspicuous for her crimes. It is the house of Rahab. Why was her house spared? Because she had been a great sinner? No, but because she repented, demonstrating to all the ages that there is mercy for the chief of sinners. The red cord of divine injunction reaching from her window to the groundrsso that when the people eaw the red cord they knew it was the divine indication that they should not disturb the premises, making us think of the divine cord cf a Savior's deliverance, the red cord of a Savior's kindness, the red curd of a Savior's mercy, .the red cord of our rescue. Mercy for the chief of sinners. Put your trust in that God, and no damage shall befall you. When our world shall be moro terribly surrounded than was Jericho, ! even by the trumpets of the judgment day and the hills and the mountains, the metal bones and ribs of nature shall break, they who have had Rahab's faith shall have Rahab's d3liverance. When wrapped in Arc the realms of ether glow And heaven's last thunder shakes the earth below Thou, undismayed, shalt o'er t-e ruin? smile And light thy torch at nature's fur.*- ral pile. But Joshua's troops may not halt here. The command is, "Forward, march!" There is tne city of Ai. It must be taken. How shall it be taken? A scouting party comes back and says: Joshua, we can do that without you. It is going to be a very easy job. You must stay here while we go and capture it." They march with a small regiment in front- of that city. The men of Ai look at them and give one yell, and the Israelites run like reindeer. The northern troops at Bull Run did not make such rapid time as theso Israelites with the Canaanites after them. They never cut such a sorry figure as when they were on the retreat. You who go out in the battles of God with only half a force Instead of your taking the men of Ai the men of Ai will take you. Look at the church of God on the retreat. The Borneslan cannibals ate up Munson, the missionary. "Fall back!" said a great many Christian people, "Fall back, O church of God! Borneo will nevor be taker.. Do you not see the Borneslan cannibals have ca!en up Munson, tho missionary?" Tyndall delivers his lecture at the University of Glasgow, and a great many good people aay: "Fall back, O church of Gcd! Do you not see that Christian philosophy is going to be overcome by worldly philosophy? Fall back?" Oeo!o# pl.nccs lis crowbar lztD the mo-ia- >?'•' <• S * tains, and there tre a great m&ay po> pis who say:, "Scientific Investigation is going to over throw the Mosaic as* c«unt of the creation. Fall bsclt!" 0«a*« CoMiws MWt Adr»o«e» But friends of Go4 never hays bad any.right to fall back. Joshua falls on hie face in oaajritt. It Is the only .time you ever see the back of Ms hesti; He falls on his face and begins to whine, and he says, "O Lord Cod, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan to deliver us into the hands of the Amorttes, to destroy us? Would to Ood we had been content and dwelt, on the other side of Jordan. Far the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of It and shall environ us round and cut off our name from the earth." I am very glad Joshua said that Be.'ore It seemed as if he were a supernatural being and therefore could not be an example to us, but I find he is a man, he is only a man. Just as sometimes you find a man under severe opposition or in a bod state of physical health, or worn out with overwork, lying down and sighing about being defeated. I am encouraged when I hear this cry of Joshua as he lies in the dust God comes and rouses him. How does he rouse him? By complimentary apostrophe? No. He says, "Get thee up. Wherefore llcst thou upon thy face?" Joshua rises, and, I warrant you, with a mortified look. But his old courage comes back. The fact was that was not his.battle. If he had been in It he would have gone on to victory. Ho gathers his troops around him and says: "Now, let us go up and capture the city of Ai. Let us" go up right away?' They inafrtr on. He puts the majority of the troops behind a ledge of rocks In the" night, and then he ssnds comparatively small regiments up in front of the city. The men of Ai come out with a shout. Th3 small regiments of Israelites in stratagem fall back, and fall >back, and when all the men of Ai have left the city and are in pursuit of these scattered, or seemingly scattered, regiments, Jcshua stands on a rock—I see his locks flying in the wind as he points his spear toward the doomed city, and that is the signal. The men rush out from behind the rocks and take the city, and it is put to the torch, and then these Israelites in the elty march down, and the flying Israelites return, and between these two waves of Israelitish prowess the men of AI are destroyed, and the Israelites gain the victory; and while I see the curling smoke of that destroyed city on the sky, and while I hear the huzza of the Israelites and the groan of the Canaanites, Joshua hears something loader than it all, ringing and echoing through his soul, "There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life." No Place to Stop. But this is no place for tho host of Joshua to stop. "Forward, march!" cries Joshua to the troops. There i3 the city of Gibeon. It has put itself under the protection of Joshua. They send word: "There are five kings after us. They are going to destroy us. Send troops quick. Send us help right away." Joshua has a three day's march, more thari double o.uick. On the morning of the third day he is before the enemy. There are two long lines of battle. Tho battle opens with great slaughter, but the Canaanites soon discover something. They say: "That is Joshua. That is the man who conquered the spring freshet and knocked down the stone walls of Jericho and destroyed the city of Ai. There is no uso fighting." They sound a retreat, and as they begin to retreat Joshua and his host spring upon them like a panther, pursuing them over the rocks, while the catapults of the sky pour a volley of hailstones into the valley, and all the artillery of the heavens, with bullets of iron, pound the Canaanites against tho ledge3 of Bethhoron. "Oh," says Joshua, "this is surely a victory!" "But do you not see the sun is going down? Those Amorites are going to get away after all, and then they will come up eome ether time and bother us. arid perhaps destroy us. See, the sun Is going down. Oh. for a longer ,day than has ever been seen in this'climate!" Look out when a good man makes the Lord his ally. Joshua n*-'se3 hie face, radiant with prayer, and looks at the descending sun oyer Gibeon and at the faint crescent of the moon, for you know the cueen of the night sometimes will linger around the .palaces of the day. Pointing one hand at the descending sun and tho other at the faint crescent of tho moon, in the name of that God who shaped the worlds and moves tho worlds he cries: "Sun, stand thou still upon Gibson, and thou, mocn, in the valley of AJalon!" They halted. Whether it was by refraction of the sun's rays or by the stopping of the whole planetary system I do not know and do not care. I leave It to the Christian Scientists a'nd the Infidel scientists to settle that question, while I tell you I have seen the same thing. "What?" say you. "Not the sun standing still?" YOJ. The same miracle Is performed nowadays. The wicked do not live out ha'f, their day, and their gua nU at noon.

The Nov. meeting of1 the Anderson Farmers Club met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Greiner. It opened with the singing of America after which Miss Blanche Martin saug a solo. We then listened to an excellent paper by Mr. Wm. iSayles, entitled Stable character Versus Fleeting Policy. F e showed explicity that strength of character is a neccesity and it has been advised by man at all times regardless of creed or nationalities. He said it was lack of christian character that failed to accomplish the would be good work of civilizing China. Also that citizens in working for the interest of their country should apply the same principles of right and wrong as when dealing with their next neighbor. Abraham Lincoln was sited as a model. We then listened to recitation by Miss Pacia Hinchey a vocal solo by Miss Nellie Gardner and last but not least an instrumental solo by Miss Elenor Brogan. _ Mr. and Mrs. Jas._ Marble were chosen as delegates to represent our club at the Stnte convention held in Lansimg in December. Various other committees were appointed to look after the interests at home, Wm. Sayles was appointed by Pres. to draw up Resolutions in memory of Mr. Nathanial J. Durkee lately deceased.

RESOLVED :—that it is the acknowledgement of this club that if there were no hope beyond the grave that the departure of our dear friend and brother, Nathanial J. Durkee, would cast a blighting gloom upon the life of every member of this happy circle, but when we read and believe the procious promises to those whose lives are devoted to the uplifting of their fellow men, we realize that our brother has simply been transfered from this world of trials and disappointment to a life of infinite eternal joy. To the bereaved family we extend our sincere sympathy and ask them to find comfort, as we have done tn these eternal truths. - W. H. SAYLES. Vondervottelmlttlss. . Yet. as It lies some distance from any of the main roads, being in a somewhat out of the way situation, there are perhaps very few of my readers who have ever paid It a visit. The alte at the village la lh a. perfectly circular valley, about a quarter 3f a mile In circumference, and entirely surrouudinl by gentle hills, over whose suuiu:ic the people have never yet ventured to pass. For this they assign the very good reason that they do not believe there is anything at all on the other side. Round the skirts of the vaUey (which Is quite level and paved throughout with flat tiles) extends a continuous row of 60 little houses. These, hating their hacks on the hills, must look of course to the center of the plain, which is just GO yards from the front door of each dwelling. Every house has a small garden before it. with a circular path, a sundial and 24 cabbages. The buildings themselves are so precisely alike that one can in no manner be distinguished from the other. Owing to the vast antiquity, the style of architecture Is somewhat odd, but it is not for that reason the less strikingly picturesque. They are fashioned of hard burned little bricks, red, with black ends, so that the walls look like a chessboard upon a great scale. The gables are turned to the front, and there are cornices, as big as all the rest of the house, over the eaves and over the main doors. The windows are narrpw and deep, with very tiny panes and a great deal of sash. On the roof is a vast quantity of tiles with-long, cnrly__eara.

But these they do exceedingly well and intersperse them with singular ingenuity wherever they find room for the chisel. The dwellings are as much alike inside as out, and the furniture is all upon one plan. The floors are of square tiles, the chalra^ind tables of black looking wood, with thin, crooked legs and puppy feet The mantelpieces are wide and high and have not only timepieces and cabbages sculptured over the front but a real timepiece, which makes a prodigious ticking, on the top, in the middle, with a flowerpot containing a cabbage standing on each extremity by way of outrider. Between each cabbage and the timepiece, again, is a little china man having a large stomach with a great round hole In it, through which is seen the dial plate of a watch. The fireplaces- are large and deep, with fierce, crooked looking fire dogs. There is constantly a rousing fire and a huge pot over it full of sauerkraut and pork, to which the good woman of the house Is always busy in attending.

The boys themselves are. all three of them. In the garden attending the pig. They are each two feet in height. They have three cornered cocked bats, pur* pie waistcoats reaching down to their thighs, buckakln knee breeches, red woolen stockings, heavy shoes with big •liver buckles and long surtoot coats with large buttons of mother ot pearl Each, too. has a pipe in his mouth, and a little dumpy watch In his right hand. He takes a puff and a look and then a look and a puff. The pig— which-4s-«orptnent and lazy—is occupied now in picking up the stray leaves that fall from the cabbages, and now in giving a kick behind at the gilt repeater, which the urchins have also tied to his tail, in order to make him look as handsome as the cat. Right at the front door, In a high backed leather bottomed armchair, with crookedness and puppy feet like the tables. Is seated the old man of the house himself. He is an exceedingly puffy little old genttemanr with big circular eyes and a huge double chin. His dress resembles that of the boys— and I need say nothing further about it All the difference is, that his pipe is somewhat bigger than theirs, and he can make a greater smoke. Like them, he has a watch, but he carries his watch in his pocket. To say the truth, he has something of more importance than a watch to attend to—and what that is I shall presently explain. He sits with Ms right leg upon his left knee, wears a grave countenance and always keeps one of his eyes, at least resolutely bent upon a certain remarkable object in the center of the plain. This object is situated in the steeple o*~tfae~iK>use~ oTtEe town council. The town council are all very, little, round, oily, intelligent men, with big saucer eyes and fat double chins, and have their coats much longer and their shoe buckles much bigger than the ordinary inhabitants of Vondervotteimlttlss. Since my sojourn in the borough, they have had several special meetings, and have adopted these three important resolutions: "That it is wrong to alter the good old course of things. "That there Is nothing tolerable out of Vondervotteimlttlss, and "That we will stick by our clocks and our cabbages." Above the session room of the coun> cil is the steeple, and in the steeple Is the belfry, where exists and has existed time out of mind, the pride and wonder of the village—the great clock of the borough of Vondervotteimlttlss. And this is the object to which the eyes of the old gentlemen are turned who sit in the leather bottomed armchairs. The great clock has seven faces, one In each of the seven sides of the steeple, so that it can be readily seen from all quarters. Its faces are large and white and its hands heavy and black. There is a belfryman, whose sole duty Is to attend to it. But this duty is the most perfect of sinecures, for the clock of Vondervotteimlttlss was never yet known to have anything the matter with, it. Until lately the bare supposltion of such a thing was considered heretical. From the remotest period of antiquity to which the archives have reference the hours have been regularly struck by the big bell. And indeed the case was just the same with all the other clocks and watches in the borough. Never was such a place for keeping the true time. When the large clapper thought proper to say "12 o'clock!" all its obedient followers opened their throats simultaneously and responded like a very echo. I D short, the good burghers were fond of their sauerkraut but then they were proud of their clocks. All people who hold sinecure offices are held in more or less respect and, as the belfryman of Vondervotteimlttlss has the most perfect of sinecures, he is the most perfectly respected of any man in the world. He is the chief dignitary of the borough, and the very pigs look up to him with a sentiment of reverence. His coattall Is very far longer, his pipe,,his shoe buckles, his eyes and his stomach are,very far bigger, than tiio*e of any other old gentleman in the village. And as to his chin, it is not only double, but triple. I have thus painted the happy estate of Vondervotteimlttlss. Alas, that to fair a picture should ever experience a reverse! There has been long a saying among the wisest inhabitants that "no good can come from over the hills." And it really seemed that the words had In them something of the spirit of prophecy.

Corbin argues that the ar my*canteen reduces the number of court martials and results in better discipline. But the reports of Major John A. Hall, judge vocate of military department of Phil -ippmesj-tells—a different, story. The report covers the period up to the close of the fiscal year June 30, 1899, an actual period of ten and one-half months. During this period, there was an average number of 21,078 enlisted men .n the command, yet during this time there were 12,481 causes of court martial of various sorts. Of these 11,902 were summary court martials, representing 7,090 differ* ent men. On this official showing a full third of all the soldiers who were sent to the Philippines were arrested and tried for crime or misdemeaner before the first eleven mouths of the American occupation were completed; an average of 38 court martials a day. Besides this, the report shows 137 deserations from the American ranks during the same period. Besides these military courts, there where three police courts attending the cases of vagrants, drunks, gamblers, fighting; and scarcely a days record appears in which during the period from two to twenty American soldiers were not in the dock charged with There it a clever raacal giving eaat of Mason wfcti haa sir c^rignal way of p*oewri»r W» grfloeriea.. fiTe has selected a spot on Bicbells road which runa southeast from Mason, where it leada up a long sandy hill, on one side of which ia quite a dent^foresi Here ho waite on a dark night for the farmers jogging homeward, after Jgrading m Mason, and as their rig plod slowly up tholiTrfirsliir^p to the rear end of the buggy and helps himself to the various pack* agea of sugar, tea, tobacoo and other articles.

Let lis on this day be thankful for the abundant yield of our orchards and fields, for the freedom from pestilence and famine. Let as remember the ready response whlcU has come from sympathetic hearts, touched by the calamities of our fellow citizens, the generous contribution (0 those whoso homes have been destroyed by tempest and flood, and tho development of humanity in the invention or methods which alleviate the suffering*, attendant upon war. Let us as we unite in our services of thanksgiving and praise, remember with gratitude the growing sense of justice among all classes of men, and the establishment of higher ideals of 8ociallife. While we remember these blessings with thankfulness, let one gratitude inspire us to utilize our high powers of citizenship that we may be more worthy of the place wo now hold .among civilized nations of the world. Given under my hand and the great seal of -the state of Michigan, at the capitol, in Lansing, this r5th day of November, in tho year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred, and of the in- - dependence of the United States the one hundred and twenty-fifth.

There were 2,817 d e a t h s reported to t h e secretary of state as occurring%in October, the d e a t h rate b e i n g 13.8 per 1,000 of population. Thr total l e s s t h a n t h e number returned for "September. T h e r e were 623 d e a t h s of i n f a n t s under o n e y e a r old; 331 of children from o n e t o four years of age, a n d 633 of p e r s o n s a g e d G3 y e a r s a n d over. I m p o r t a n t causas of d e a t h s were a s f o l l o w s : P n l m o n a r y consumption, usuaL In many oases rye was sown Instead. AU wheat sown before the last days of September is full of fly. Many fields that look green end are well covered with a thrifty growth of plants, are literally alive with the larva of the insect. Some nelds of wheat have been cultivated and rcsown tc wheat, while others have been .down to ryo. Some farmers will sow clover in the spring, and let the crop mature if possible. Wheat sown* in October 1s in a measure free from insects. In some cases early sown rye is fun of Insects, and wheat sown later in adjoining fields is net infested. Methods like this nHtot-necessarily be adopted if the work cf this insect is to be controlled so that the wheat crop of this state will not bo damaged yearly. The total amount of bushels of wheat reported marketed by farmers in October at the flouring mills is 229,079, and at the elevators 160,600, or a total of 3$6,*7t> bushels. The estimated averase yield of corn in bushels is, in the state, 33: in the southern counties, JS: in tho central counties, 23, and in the northern counties, 28, Conditions in the southern purt of the stato have been very favorable for corn, in fuct tho crop will Be one of the largest ever harvested in this state, and the quality is exceptionally good. The area planted last spring was larger than usual, so that the total amount harvested will be large for this state. The acreage of cloverseed harvested as compared with average years is, in per cent, in the state 70. in the southern counties 83, and in the northern counties 82. Tho average yield per acre in bushels is, in the state 1.46, in the southern counties 1.83, in tho state 1.4t>, in tho southern 132. in the central counties 1.8J and in the northern oountics 1.92. The same conditions which enabled farmers to grow a large corn crop made a large potato crop possible. In some cases the crop was injured by blight; in some parts of the state it was cut short by drought in August, while in some lowlands it was damaged by too much rain. The estimated avcruge yield per acre In the state, in bushel*, is 08, in the southern , counties 95, in the central counties 1C0, and in is 500 I the northern counties 110. The use of commercial fertilizers in this state is not general. In the eastern part of the state they are used quite extensively on certain crops. Many farmers are making careful experiments along this line, preferring to demonstrate for themselves the effect these? fertilizers have on different soils of the farm. Much work of this kind should be done in order that each farmer might know in what way his soil was deficient and what fertilizer was the best to apply. in QffJfr NSW8 PABAQHAPH9.

But inwardly she rejoiced that the- woman she had felt was her superior had not always lived above-reproach. The knowledge prom* Ueda certain hold upon her, and in iter manner toward Gladys when next rrl7 they jaet^here was * hint of power and a measure of (contempt the latter found it hard to bear. , Harvey's demeanor, too, had altered. Star days .he looked pale and grave. Although perfectly respectable to his mother he-spoke to her as seldom as possible, addressing most of his remarks, when vthe little family met at table, to -his^wife. Gladys sympathized with his mood, and waited patiently for it to pasg. She knew how galled hie proud spirit must be; still, as the monotonous days crawled by, bringing no change, she began to feel very lonely. She would have consoled herself with the baby had she been allowed to do so, but Helen had her own ideas, wise ones, all of them, on the subject of child rearing. It made an infant precocious, she said, to notice them too much; his Intellect should be allowed to develop gradually. As for the Inane nonsense called baby talk, no child of hers should listen to It. Good English was just as simple and far more sensible. And Gladys, who would have cooed the sweet mother jargon by the hour, all the world forgetting save the smiling mite in her arms, knew that a reproof was intended, and accepting it, loft Harvey's baby to Harvey's wife. Had she been a strong-minded woman she would have have risen above her trials and found happiness in her own occupations; but she was .only a gentle, clinging creature to whom love was as the breath of life. That gone, nothing remained. She wondered sometimes how Harvey, even though displeased, could neglect her BO. In the past they had been everything to each other. Now he seldom gave her a thought; his wife was his all in all. Helen's coldness did not hurt her; she was not of her blood, and she had no claim on her affection; but she had given~her life to Harvey, and his indifference was hard to bear. One cold, rainy day Phebe found her crying in her private parlor, which wa3 divided, from her sleeping and dressing rooms .by a wide hall. The curtains were drawn and the spacious apartment usually so pretty in Its tints of crimson and blue seemed co^d and gloomy. CHAPTER IV. The housekeeper said not a word, hut went to the window and threw hack the curtains, then touched a match .to the wood laid ready in the grate. The flames leaped forth as if $ia$l to escape from their resinous prison, making glittering reflections in the polished tiles and filling every corner with,a.rosy glow. Phebe roiled her mistress' .favorite chair to the hearth. "Come .and sit here, Miss Gladys, while J get.you a cup of coffee. It will warm you up. The room is like a w r i t " Gladys .crushed back a sob and meekly did as she was bidden. She always obeyed Phebe. She drank the coffee when ittwas .brought#and looked apologetically Into .the housekeeper's kind if grim face. "I miss ijouise Leonard *© much!" she said. "I know all About i t Miss Gladys. That reason will do as well AS any other. T#hen are you going to have Mr. Walter Barr and his young wife hero Jo dinner? They've been married thre^ months .now.*" "I suppose I ought to invite them soon," said Gladys, brightening * little. "But Mrs. Harvey st\ objects to company—-j* "And is the house to he kept, like a tomb to please her? She has her husband and baby', and yon have nobody, U seems.

"I think you are right, Shebe/* she presently said with an air of decision. "I will do as you say." : . , - . - . She' dressed herself with unusual care for dinner. She was resolved to B^lfry-ftpy iftfa? food humor. He had just taken his place at the table when she entered, a charming vision in pale pink and white, and he smiled involuntarily. "Why, how lovely we are this evening! " he exclaimed. Helen darted at him a disapproving look; but the pleasant words had escaped, and Gladys was responding to them In kind as she took her place at his right She had long ago given Helen the head of the table. She coveted it, and Harvey was pleased to see her there, and she herself cared nothing for petty dfstinctions. The conversation moved on pleasantly, if a trifle haltingly, and presently Gladys ahhounced her intention of i n - viting Mr. and Mrs. Barr and one or two other friends to dinner. "I had thought of next Tuesday, Harvey, if you and Helen are disengaged for that evening," she said. "We are, as far as I know," he answered, glancing at his wife. Helen did not respond. She was displeased that Mrs. Atherton should contemplate entertafning company at all, and doubly so that she had addressed her question to Harvey instead of to herself, and went on eating her dinner in her usual deliberate way. She had a fine appetite, and took excellent care of her digestion, a3 a wise young woman should.^ "Then we'll say Tuesday evening," said Gladys, all unconscious of what was passing in Helen's mind, and mistaking her silence for acquiescence, she regarded the matter as settled. it was not until the very day of the dinner that she discovered her error. By this time she and Harvey were on their old terms again, the coolness between them apparently forgotten. Helen's manner never relaxed; she had her own grievances and resented them in her own way. • Gladys, however, gave no evidence that she observed anything amiss. "I am sure you will like Mrs. Barr, Helen/' she said at breakfast on Tuesday, hoping to draw the younger woman into conversation, tor her persistent lack of interest in any talk in which she was not directly included was Irksome. "She Is a girl after your own style—an excellent daughter, now a capable wife. I hope you will become friends." "Thank you," said Helen, in wintry tones. "I am not a believer in married women's friendships. My husband and my child suffice for me. A woman's home should.be..her kingdom." She g l f l P q ^ P» Hnrvpy frm th» n p - aud although he could not see exactly | where Gladys had erred, he was .soon convinced that his wife had bees trail* *B*dy insulted, and was grievously hurt in eonsejQuence, J$p«hio# could have been further from the truth tthan either conviction; but Easing Into tedaettve eyes, tear drenched, pressing warm, red lips covering with •obey few- men are wise enough to discriminate between the chastening dews of sorrow and the bitter waters of spite or 'envy." . . " . . - Gladys' dinner was a success. She felt Helen's Absence to be a, relief. It seemed pleasant to have the house to hjsrself again, -and to sit. at the head of her own table. 8he threw off her sadness and "became the charming, frivolous Gladys every one petted and loved. Her guests lingered late. Long after Harvey and Helen had retired •the sound of their voices rang through the house, and Helen complained next day at breakfast that baby was fretful and unwell, having been robbed of his sleep the night previous. Mrs. Atherton made no answer to this plaint. She had discovered that Harvey'8 geniality had vanished, and his manner toward her was cold. She divined the reason for the change, and while resenting his Injustice was hurt by it. She could retain his favor only by submitting to his wife's caprices, it seemed: 'Her long years of devotion counted for nothing; all was forgotten when this woman, between kisses, accused her of some petty meanne33 ot which she was incapable. How dared he listen to charges so unjust? Before the meal was half over she proving; smile with which he always applauded her borrowed phrases, as though every word were a nugget of wisdom fresh from the mine, and added a trifle less deliberately: "I dislike strangers, aud care nothing for social pleasures, so I can not truthfully say I am sorry I shall not meet Mrs. Barr this evening." "What do you mean, Nell? Have you forgotten she is to come here to dinner?" "No; but you and I are to dine at father's. I promised him ten days ago." Helen spoke calmly, though her color flickered as she encountered Harvey's astonished stare. Gladys, too, looked surprised. "My dear girl," Harvey burst out "why in the world did you not tell the mater so when she was making arrangements for her dinner?" "Because she did not consult me. She addressed you, and took it for granted I had no engagements. I never offer unsolicited information.'* Gladys saw an ominous look in Harvey's eyes, and rose hastily. She had no desire to witness a matrimonial squabble. "It is not of the least consequence, Harvey. I should like Helen to meet Mrs. Barr, who has a great deal of social Influence, but there will be plenty of opportunities for her to do so in the future, as 1 intend to open the house to my friends again. I have been living too quietly of late." She looked .full at Helen, and there was a touch of defiance in the manner of both. "Do not giv^,this little misunderstanding a thought I shall not; for it isn't worth it" She had left the room before the last word was uttered, and ran lightly down the pktxsa steps to the garden. "What a woman!" she thought "What a hard, narrow, revengeful, sullen woman! Poor Harvey! I hope he may continue .blind to the end. It is his osiy chance for happiness. She aeed not have been concerned , tor Harvey. Already Helen, her arms about his sjfick, her voice broken with emotion, woe making her cause good; rose from the table with a sudden hot anger that dismayed her, for she had never felt anything like it before. She realized that she should end by hating Helen and despising Harvey; a material love that, crushes out all purer affections degrades a man; not even the sacrament of marriage can render it holy. • She rode further than usual that day, and was overtaken by one of the violent thunder storms peculiar to the season. She came home drenched and shivering with cold. Phebe, who was waiting for her on .a side veranda with a thick shawl, almost carried her to her room, and without ceremony undressed and put her to bed. "We shall have you down with a fever next," she grumbled. "You were about ready for it before." Gladys, strangely inert, languidly opened her eyes. '"if I am 111, Phebe, and I fear I am going to be, no one must wait on me but you. I may be delirious and talk. Keep Harvey out of the room at all hazards. Poor boy! If he should learn the truth " "It would put him just where he deserves to he put" said Phebe, her smouldering anger against the married couple kindled into a flame by Gladys' condition. "But don't fret, dearie; I'll do as you say. Shall I give* the keys to Mrs. Karvey?" she added, feeling that her mistress was very ill already. "Yes; it will keep her out of your way," said Gladys with a faint smile. Then her ^eyes~ciosed agahr-and-shesank into a troubled sleep." Next morning she was tossing with fever,' and for three months knew nothing of what was going on around her. One bright October day she opened her eyes and looked searchingly into Phebe's face. The faithful woman, wearied by her long vigils, was nodding in her chair by the bedside. "Why;Phebe, how thin you are!" sho exclaimed in a weak voice. Phebe started up with a stifled cry. "Oh, my lamb, my lamb, thank God you've come back to us again!" she said, tears streaming from her eyes. "Why, haw long have I been here?" Gladys asked. "Fourteen weeks." •"Fourteen weeks!" She lay thinking the wonderful fact over, then turned to Phebe with her own merry smile. "And haveU't you given me anything to eat in all that time,'you Cruel woman? I am famishing." {To be continued.) A ttoted Knigfet Templar '^r-ikBl'ii Colonel T. P. Moody, * prominent Knight Templar, to welt known in e*err elty in the United States west of Buffalo, N.

"My wife, as many in the southwest can say, was troubled with a bad cough and bronchial trouble, and doctors all over the country gave her up to die, as they could do nothing more for her. She began taking Peruna with the result that she is better now than she has been in years, and her cough has almost left her entirely. The soreness has left her lungs and she i3 as well as she ever was in her life, with thanks, as she says, to Peruna. Yours very truly, T. P. Moody?

Prominent men have come to know of its virtues, and are making public utterances on the subject. To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease.

By the time that ft wanted only three minutes to coon the droll object In question was perceived to be a very diminutive, foreign looking young man. He descended the hills at a great rate, so that everybody had soon a good look at him. He was really the most finicky little personage that had ever been seen In Vondeivottoimittlss. His countenance was of a dark snuff color, and he h«d a long hooked nose, pea eyes, a wide mouth n;id an excellent set-of-teethv—ivh-teH latter-iie-SFoulotT anxious of displaying, as he was grinning from oar to ear. What with mustachios and whiskers, there was none of the rest of his face to be seen. His head was uncovered and his hair neatly doire up in papillotes. His dress was a tight fitting swallow tailed black ront. from one of whose pockets dan gled a vast length of white handkerchief: black kerseymere knee breeches, black stockings and stumpy looking pumps, with huge bunches of black satin ribbon for bows. Under one arm he carried a huge chapeau-de-bras and under, the other a fiddle nearly five times as big as himself. In his left hand was a gold snuffbox, from which, as he capered down the hill, cutting all manner of fantastical steps, he took snuff Incessantly with an air of the f greatest possible self satisfaction. God bless me! Here was a sight for the honesf burghers of Vondervotteimit* tiss! To speak plainly, the fellow had, in spite of his grinning, an audacious and sinister kind of face, and as be curvetted right into the village the old itumpy appearance of his pumps ex cited no Ottle suspicion, and many a burgher who beheld him that day[ would have given a trifle for a peep beneath the white cambric handkerchief which hung so obtrusively from the pocket of his swallow tailed coat. Bui what mainly occasioned a righteous indignation was that the scoundrelly pop lnjay, while he cut a fandango here and a whirligig there, did not seem to have the remotest idea in the world oi such a thing ^ s keeping time in his steps. The good people of the borough had scarcely a chance, however, to get their eyes thoroughly open, when, just as it wanted half a minute of noon, the rascal bounced, as I say, right into the midst of them; gave a chassez here, and a balancez there, and then, after a pirouette and a pas-de-zephyr, pigeon winged himself right np Into the belfry of the house of the town council, where the wonder stricken beifryman sat smoking In a state of dignity and dismay. But the little chap seized him at once bj the nose, gave it "a swing and a pull, clapped the big chapeau-de-bras upon hi* head, knock*. ed It down over his eyes and month. | and then, ltfttout w> the big fiddle. no at urn w.:a itso toug and so *ountt ly that what with the, beifryman beJ log so fat -and the fiddle being so hollow, you wouM have sworn that thees waa a regiment of double basa drummers all beating the devil's tattoo up in the belfry of the steeple of Vonder* vottelmlttias. There is no knowing to what desperate act of vengeance his unprincipled attack might have aroused the inhabitants but'for the Important fact that it now wanted. only half a second of noon. The bell was about to strike, and it was a matter of absolute and] *f*->**---«- [,••.' i intTtll^mimifmtfimKft^m^tmmmfmlffm pre-eminent necessity that everybody should look well at his watch. I t was evident, however, that just at this moment the fellow in the steeple was doing something that he bad no business to do with the clock. But, as it now began to strike, nobody had any time to attend to his maneuvers* for i they had all to count the strokes of the bell as it sounded. "One!" said the clock. "Von!" echoed every little old gentleman in every leather bottomed armchair in Vondervotteimittiss^ "Von!" said his watch also; "Von!" said%the watch of his vrow, and "Von!" said the watche's of the boys and the little repeaters on the taUa of-the cat and Pig. "Two!" continued the big bell, and "Doo!" repeated all the repeaters. "Three! Four! Five! Sis! Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten!" said the bell. "Dree! Vour! Flbe! Sax! Seben! Alght! Nein! Den!" answered the others. "Eleven!"' said the big one.? "Eleben!" assented the little fellow. "Twelve!" said the bell. "Dvelf!" they replied, perfectly satisfled and dropping their voices. "Und dvelf it iss!" said all the little old gentlemen, putting up their watches. But the big bell had not done with them yet. "Thirteen!" said he. "Der teufel!" gasped the little gentlemen, turning pale, dropping their pipes and putting down all their right legs from over their left knees. "Der teufel!" groaned they. "Dirteen! Dtrteen! Mein Gott it is dirteen o'clock!" Why attempt to describe the terrible scene which ensued? All Vondervotteimittiss flew at once into a lamentable state of uproar. "Vot is cum'd to mein pelly?" roared all the boys. "I've been ongry for dis hour!" "Vot is cum'd to mein kraut?" screamed all the vrows. "It has been done to rags for dis hour!" "Vot is cum'd to mein pipe?" swore all the little old gentlemen. "Donder and blitzen! It has been smoked out for dis hour!" And they filled them up again in a great rage and, sinking back in their armchairs, puffed away so fast and so fiercely that the whole valley was Immediately filled with impenetrable smoke. Meantime the cabbages all turned very red in the face, and It seemed as if old Nick himself had taken possession of everything In the shape of a tlmepjheceV_The "clocks carved upon the" furniture took to dancing, as if bewitched, while those upon the mantelpieces could scarcely contain themselves for fury and kept such a continual striking of 13 and such a frisking and wriggling of their pendulums as was really horrible to see. But. worse than all, neither the cats nor the pigs could put up any longer with the behavior of the little repeaters tied to their tails and resented it by scampering all over the place, scratching and poking and squeaking and screeching and caterwauling and squalling and flying into the faces and running under the petticoats of the people, and creating altogether the most abominable din and confusion which It is possible for a reasonable person to conceive. And to make matters still more distressing tn* rascafly nme soap* grace in the steeple was evidently ozy ertttitf himself to the utmost Every now and then one might catch 4 glimpse of the scoundrel through tha smoke. There he sat 10 the. belfry upon the beifryman. who waa lying flat upon bit back.

Let us proceed in a body to the borough and restore the ancient order of things In Vondervotteimittiss by ejecting that little fellow from the steeple. Tike Murder of Sleep. . Speaking on the problem of city noises, especially those which make night hideous, the Westminster Review says: "When preventable noises invade the hours of sleep, the matter becomes serious, for in this busy, bar* asslng life sound rest at night is an essential to the maintenance of the working powers. "One of the most alarming concomitants of modern civilization Is the increasing prevalence of lunacy aud other nervous diseases. The cause i* doubtless to be found in the hurried, anxious lives that we lead, in the intensity of our studies, the fierce difficulties of life with most of us. How many breadwinners, whether professional men, business men, artisan* or factory girls, return to their homes day after day utterljr exhausted by their continuous labors! To such unv disturbed sleep is'the best of all. tonics, but this is often difficult to obtain, and its deficiency means Impaired health oi even complete breakdown. The contrast between the health and develop ment of the agricultural laborer and that of the average industrial operative is due not alone to the out of door life and healthy occupation of the former, but in no small degree to early hours of retiring and quiet nights." Selling a Wife. We often laugh at the credulity of French people who believe that the English still "sell their wives at Smitfill," but it is certain from the evidence of the police courts and other sources that some of the most ignorant of oui fellow countrymen, in common with the equivalent inhabitants of other nations, do occasionally transfer their legal spouses to other men for a consideration received in the belief that they are observing all the necessary formalities.

As in the days of old, she was aware of a tender deference shown toward her, a deference that was genuine and had in it nothing- of patronage. After a time Bartley glanced at his •watch and rose to his feet "I.am going to raid the surrounding country and see what I can do in the way of a Thanksgiving dinner/' "Not in this storm," she-cried, and ner dear dark eyes fell before his. "I have an umbrella. Besides I am used to storms." . > He was gone some time. When he returned, she was at tho door to meet him. "I see you were successful," pointing to the bundles he carried. He shook his head. "You will think It a poor success. At the agent's home dirt was too plentiful. I saw we could not think of dining there. I made' my way to another house, only to find it locked. However, there is a postofflce near, where the agentSssured me I would find a 'store.' There —well, the contents of these paper bags will tell the story." She laughed as merrily as a child, and began to peer into the bags. Soon they were seated, she in the chair, he on the bench in front of her. Sheets from a newspaper he happened to have in his pocket were spread over their laps, and on these they placed crackers, cheese, peanuts and sticks of red and white striped candy. "I'm sorry," Bartley began, eyeing the spread with evident disfavor, "but ft is the best the land affords. Here Is a part of every eatable thing In the merchant's stock, savr gum; molabaes and articles that must be cooked. It is a poor Thanksgiving dinner to offer you, Zoe." The name slipped from him unawares. She blushed and began to talk lightly. All constraint vanished. The burden of years seemed to have fallen from them. Suddenly she looked up, an arch smile curving her lips. — "Think of the tables at which we expected to sit today.

"I remember it all, and yet I feel like returning thanks becauso 1 am here—with you." Just then the station agent entered. A freight train came in sight and halted.

To the popular mind the word "Tnaitiugiving'' standi for a day. of festivity. But they' who lose its sub- Jective meaning in mere creature enjoyment suffer a misfortune and mist an opportunity. To our fathers, Thanksgiving was a sacrament It was one of .their acts of religion to set apart for it an annual day. Heaven had blessed their harvester and they wished to express in a special way appreciation of its favors. Nothing in their example was more sane and sensibJa than the creation of this November family custom, now become national. There have been changes of our social life since the old time. These have made it less easy to observe the day so generally with public rites of worship, hut the ordinance holds its place with pleasing fitness, and with ample reason. We have a thousandfold more to be devoutly glad for than our fathers had; and the feeling and the faith they carried with them to the "solemn assembly" we can radiate in brighter homes and wider activities of kindness. The unfolding Christian age has given us the larger thought of the meaning and mission of freedom and of civilisation; the grander type and idea of benevolence; the tenderer beliefs that sweeten life and death with hope. For all these let us thank God. Gratitude is not only "a natural function of the healthy soul"; It IS Its wealth. Invest It Its interest will enrich the character, and uplift the whole life.

Roy Madison, deliberately turning their backs on the refinements of a higher civilization and accepting the dally drudgery and routine of life on a cattle ranch filled her with wondering amazement When she fell to speculating on what their future years might be, she shuddered. From the hollowed sole of her modishly booted foot to the crown of her sleek and perfectly poised little head Miss Glendower was Boatonian. But for the short space of time that she waited Lawrence irving's coming the life here was full of charm for her. Its ways were alluring, and not the least among its fascinations Was Mesouite. She smiled amusedly at the tall cowboy's utter unconsciousness In there being any social difference between them, at his simple acceptation of her notice. Miss Glendower w a s finding vast entertainment in his honest hearted, undisguised adoration. She had come west for experiences, and one of the first and decidedly the most exciting and Interesting had been found in Mesquite. Besides, it gave her something to write of when she seut her weekly letter to Lawrence Irving. She sometimes found writing to him a bit of a bore when topics' were wanting. But Mesquite—the boy was a revelation of surprises every day. There was no boredom where he was. Amusu)g— yes, that was the word. There he was now, crossing the bare and hard beaten square of gray earth that lay between the ranchhouse and the corrals. Though he was looking beyond the piazza to where the other boys were driving a "bunch" of bellowing, dust stirring cattle into an lnclosure, yet she felt it w a s she whom his eyes saw.

There w&* only one letter for Miss Glendower that night. It began: "I will bo with you, my darling, 24 hours after you get this. Just one day more, love, and I'll hold you In my arms again! Just one more week, and you will be my wife, Audrey! Think of it!'* She bad thought; wa<t thinking now. She was also wondering now Mesquite would take i t 80 they rode homeward. As they loped across the wide stretch of white desert flats that reached to the sand hills, shutting the ranch from sight, the twilight fell, and., with it came sharp gusts of wind that now and then brought a whirl of desert d u s t Harder and harder it blew. Then it fell upon them in its malevolence,^to catch them, to hold them in Its uncanny clasp an instant and then, releasing them, go madly racing off into the farther twilight, moaning in undertone a s it went. Then heat lightning struck vividly at the horizon, and the air everywhere became surcharged with the electric current of a coming desert sandstorm. They heard its roar coming up the valley. Audrey Glendower felt her nerves a-tlngle. This, too, w a s an experience. In sheer delight she laughed aloud at the excitement showi n g i n tbe~quivering horses, their ears nervously pointing forward, then? nostrils distended, as, with long, eager strides, they pounded away at the wind blown levels. Then the storm caught them at its wildest. Suddenly a tumbleweed—dry and uprotted from its slight moorings somewhere away on the far side of the fiats—came whirling toward them broadside in the vortex of a mad rush of wind, in which, without warning, they were in $n Instant enveloped. As the great, rolling, ball-like weed struck her horse Miss Glendower took a tighter grip on the reins and steadied herself for the runaway rush into the duststorm and the darkness. The wild wind caught her, shrieked in her ears, tore at her habit as though to wrest it from her body, dragged at t h e braids of heavy hair until, loosened, the strands whipped about her head, a tangled mass of stinging lashes. She w a s alone, drawn into the maelstrom of the maddened element—alone with the fury of the desert s t o r m - alone In the awful darkness it wrapped about her, the darkness of the strange storm and the darkness of the coming n i g h t The frightened, furious horse beneath her terrified her less than the weird, rainless storm that had so swiftly slipped in between her and Mesquite, carrying her away Into its unknown domain. Where was he? Aside from the mastering fear that was gaining upon her, spite of her struggle for courage, was a consciousness that more than all else—more than every one else in the world—It was Mesquite she wanted. Had an army ridden down to her rescue she would have turned away from them all to reach out her arms to the boy vaquero. Perhaps It was because she had seen fa!s marvelous feats of daring in the saddle, for Mesquite w a s the star rider of the range, and she felt Instinctively that he could help a s none ethers. Perhaps it was because oTThe past days that nad so drawn him toward her. Porhapr and most probably H w a s because he had but Just been at nor side.

Still there was no reply. Mesqulte led the horses away, and Miss Glendower turned and went into the house. Being merely an uneducated cowboy, he was remiss In p a n y matters of courtesy. • e a e a e a e When Lawrence Irving arrived at the Madison ranch, his host, in the list of entertainment he was offering the Bostonian, promised an exhibition of broncho riding that should stir even the beat of that serene gentleman's well regulated pulse. * "This morning," said he, "I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get my star broncho buster out for your edification, Lawrence, for tho boys are telling me that he's been 'hitting the Jug* pretty lively dowu at the store for the past 24 hours, and he's never been much of a drinker, either, but when I told him Miss Glendower wanted to show you the convolutions of a bucking horse it seemed to sober him up a Vit and he not only promised to furnish the thrills, but to do the business up with all the trimmings, for he's going to ride Sobrepaso, the man killer/ a big, blaze fade sorrel that every vaquero tu the country has given up Unconquered.

So quickly an his left foot touched the stirrup there was the sweep of a long leg thrown across the saddle, a sinuous awing into place, the blind whipped up from the bloodshot eyes, the spurred heels grip on the clneha, a shout from the man, a devilish sound from the mustang, and Hesquit* was ready for the maddened: horse's first upward leap as he went blindly fighting hie way around and around the inclosure. Mesqulte sat the infuriated animal as though he himself were put a part of the "man killer." His seat was superb. Miss Glendower felt a tremor of pride stir her as she watched blm, that her lover should witness tBfs matchless horsemanship. She was panting between fear and delight while she watched the boy's face, wearing the sweet boyish smile, like, yet so unlike, the smile she had come to know in the past weeks, and the yellow curia blowing back from the bared forehead. Sobrepaso rose in his leaps to great heights, almost falling backward, to plunge forward again, with squeals of rage that he could not unseat his rider. The boy sat there, a king—king of bis own little world—while he slapped at his horse's head and withers with the sombrero that swung in his hand. Plunging and leaping, around and around, now here and now there; about the inclosure they went, the horse a mad hurricane and bis rider a centaur. Mesqulte was swayed back and forth, to and fro, but no surge could unseat him. 4Mlss Glendower grew warm In ber joy of bim as she looked. Then as the "man killer" gave another great upward leap the pistol, swinging from Mesquite's belt, was H . . . . r . , #»„— Iti, hnlnfm., «nrt P a i r i n g [ the cantle as It fell, there was a cloudlike puff, not from the dust raised by beating hoofs, and a sound, not the terrible sound of a maddened horse, and the boy swayed backward with the boyish smile still on his lips and the wet yellow curls blowing back from a white forehead that would grow whiter, e * a * * * a Miss Glendower did not faint: neither did she scream. She was one with her emotions held always well in hand, and she expressed the proper amount of regret the occasion required, shuddering a little over its horror. But to this day —and she is Mrs. Lawrence Irving now —she cannot look quite steadily at a big red star that sometimes burns in the west at early eve, and the scent of tuberoses or jasmine or syringe makes ber deathly sick.—Argonaut T h e Advertiser s a y s that horses hitched on the s t r e e t s of H o l l y this winter will have t o b e properly blanketed o r t h e v i l l a g e marahalLaAllJhe^si^ t h e _ ^ U n k ety b t o k j w T e t c h e s w h o leave t h e poor animal exposed to the elem e n t s without any covering.

When he paused, she voluntarily introduced it. "Nell is remarkably well," answered Harvey, his face lighting up, "aad BO is the boy. We are thinking of putting him into trousers. You'll see them soon, madam?" "In a few days—v/hen I am stronger^ sne answered, hastily. "I must not go too fast." "No," Harvey ecquiesced. He seemed slightly uncomfortable. "Nell has made some changes in the establishment during your illness. I hope you will approve of them." Gladys looked at blm with just a hiat of trouble in her face, but said nothing. — The speeds trial of the "Wisconsin" suggests that if international race* -b«tween~~battle-shlps were as readily arranged aa those events In which yachts take part, the United States would win a good many prizes.

The longest electric railway in the world is to be built in Montana.

The road would have a considerable traffic in coaJ, ores aad other heavy freights and would be the first line with such traffic to be worked by electricity. The Iisague against Seasickness is a new French organisation which publishes a serious periodical, the Journal du Mai de Mer, largely composed of infallible prescriptions against seasickness. Everybody knows such recipes. People who do not go to sea find them very effective, and aa a rule they are entertaining. But I the French journal ought also to print some fiction with a less transparent plot and a more agreeable climax.

Gladys comprehended' la a moment the awkward complications rising jfrom such an arrangement, and looked her dismay. "Has she put them in caps and aprons?" "LA, no!" answered Phebe^laughing. "They belong to the family, and seem to enjoy living here. They're all over thf place, and you'd think they owned it They bother Saunders to death stealing his flowers.

And the girls, too, make an awful fuss. It's Brother Harvey here and Brother Harvey there from morn till night They treat him as the head of the family, and he's boyish enough to be tickled to death by their flattering ways."

She really has wonderful judgment, and you may safely tru3t her with the management of the house." "'Still harping on my daughter!'" quoted Gladys with s laint smile. She felt she must remain sllejat no longer, since silence meant acquiescence; yet she might be displeased. "I have no dout Helen has done her best, and I am grateful to her for relieving Phebe during my illness. But now that I am nearly well, dear, my old housekeeper will of course resume her position." Harrey dropped the hand with which he had been toying so suddenly that the movement seemed like a repulse. "I hope you don't mean that. Nell will be greatly disappointed and hurt If you push -her aside. She takes genuine pride in the management. And, really, it seems fitting she should have It" "Is Annette among the servants who were sent away?" asked Gladys. "I have not seen_her since my illness."__ "Yes. She was the first to go.

Gladys looked like a grieved child. !ibe was too weak to assert herself, and felt atraagely helpless. Phebe, who had just re-entered the room, gave her a significant look.

CHAPTER VL Gladys was pale with wrath.- To men, her excitement would have seemed wholly disproportionate to its cause; but women, to whom their intimate belongings are always a part of themselves, will understand her sensations. She could have borne a personal attack as easily as this upon her Lares and Penates. Phebe bad never before known her to be so angry, and was startled by the passionate demonstration. She demanded that Harvey should be sent to her the minute be returned from business, nor would she be persuaded to wait till she f .cooler. When be came, marveling at the Imperative sumsaoas. aba mat bin with reproaches, aad censured Helen unsparingly for her Insolent iaterfer- 1 enee.

Women always find a way out of these little difficulties." Harvey spoke is if the affair was of slight Importance, but he did not meet Gladys' steady look, evading, it by producing a cigar. "You don't mind my lighting up before I go?" "Harvey, be warned," said Gladys, seriously. "If you leave me to deal with Helen you may regret it.

On the rare occasions when Gladys had persuaded herself that he needed corporal punishment as a boy, she entrusted the task to the stern housekeeper, who performed it safsAthTotty that for an hour afterward the mother and son sobbed in each other's arms, with much that was traitorous to the dispenser of justice in the tears of both.

"Chicago, III., Nov. 26.--(Special)— Among the Catholic Foresters in this city, none is better known or more universally esteemed, than Mr. S. P. Rush, Conductor (President) of Holy Name Court, Number 26. His many friends, inside the Order and outside of its ranks, were, therefore, much startled to learn that hie life was in danger, he having Bright's Disease, that moat terrible and fatal diaeaae. _ — — Mr. Rush, however, made a grand struggle for his life, taking prescriptions, and pills and powaers, until his stomach refused food. At last, his local druggist, guided by the numerous inquiries being made at his store for Dodd's Kidney Pills, advised Mr. Rush to buy and try some. This he did, and to his delight he was restored to health and strength. Mr. Rush says that after commencing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills, he felt much better, but it took two months to effect a cure. "I took nothing else but Dodd's Kidney Pills during that time, so I know that I owe life and health to What this wonderful remedy has done for Mr. Rush, it will certainly do for anyone.

How much harder the daily tasks become when some derangement of the female organs makes every morement painful and keeps the nervous system all unstrung I One d&v she is wretched and utterly miserable; in a day or two she is better and laughs at her fears, thinking there is nothing much the matter after all; but before night the deadly backache reappears, the limbs tremble, the lips twitch —it seems as though all the imps of Satan were clutching her vitals; she goes to pieces and is flat on her back. / No woman ought to arrive at this terrible state of misery, because these symptoms /are a sure forerunner of womb troubles. She must remember that Lydlft B* Pinfeham's Vegetable Compound is almost an infallible cure for all female ills, such as irregularity of periods, which cause weak stomach, sick headache, etc., displacements and inflamirtation of the womb, or any of the multitudes of ill^ nesses which beset the female organism. e KKFSm QoodtB wpots te 8m great troubSm.

At the time when Mont' gomery street had only one side, being In reality the beach, the bay of San Francisco was crowded with all sorts of ehips lying, idle for the simple reason that all hands and the cook had skipped out for Sutter's Fort and the mines. It was Impossible to get the ships discharged. Men would never, consent te ue stevedores on the beach when they could be millionaires at the mines. That is why many of the cargoes were never hrnarhefl eTPept When that had ever floated ' When this nrajt building went Into decay a«& was condemned, the old ship waa fouhd to be the soundest part of ft alt Bot It was burled still deeper by the foundations' of the large and for that time modera; building that took Its place.

No argonaut would respect himself If he could not tell of the time when he saw the streets along the water front paved with plug tobacco in boxes. One of this fleet, abandoned and derelict at her anchors, the good ship Niantic, parted her cables in one of the stiff winds for which the Golden Gate Is notorious, drifted ashore on the mud flat at the foot of Clay street and found a convenient and sticky berth about a hundred yards offshore on the line of the present Sansome street The underwriters paid the loss, for at the current rate of wages and the absence of labor it would have cost half -|-a dozen times her worth to get her off, and even then she would be of no use without sailors. Having paid the loss, the underwriters in turn abandoned her and probably felt in luck that they were not called upon by some own^r of real estate to take the ship away. The presence of the ship aided t')e silting up of the mud flat and in.a short time it was awash only at high tide and finally dry all day long. Then it was recognized that tbis was a new addition to the front of the city, and some business man took possession of the ship and made It over into a warehouse. The vessel was sonnd in every timber, spars all standing and sails on the yards, the hold as tight as a drum, and if she did make as much as a foot a month it was only a short trick at the oumos to clear it put ,In, fact The Kins «aS the R«*» Among stories of the late King Humbert told by the Roman correspopdent of the Frankfurter Zeltung we read: ' "He is not like a king," said the president of a half socialist trades umbn.

Heavy Traflie Harts RAMIB. There is great fear leat the stone road system of Bay county will be destroyed. The heavy rains of this fall and the immense traffic of sugar beet wagons have combined in cutting the roads so badly that they are now almost impassable for large loads.

The annual tax levy for the purpose of extensions and repairs will not be sufficient to keep the roads in condition unless some restriction is placed upon the farmers in the way of wide tires and smaller loads.

Naturally she found If hard to acknowledge herself in the wrong; but the, acknowledgement would surely come, and when it did, even though late, they must receive it very kindly and generously, Helen told Haiyey, witb the air of a very good person magnanimous enough to pardon a very bad one. IJelen, however, was not afraid of Tomlinson, nor of any living being. To do her Justice she had thoroughly persuaded herself she was doing her duty, and thus grounded, flatly refused to surrender the keys. "When I have g)ven an account of my Stewardship to Mrs. Atherton," she said, "I ant sure ehe will give them into no hand but her own. Lam ready to see ber at any time." "My mistress isn't strong enough to talk business just yet," said Phebe, hastily, "As for the keys, I'm not parr ticular for a week or so. I can't be much about the house until she is well on her feet again. The thing I am particular about Is to get ber parlor ready for her right away, and I Want every servant in the bouse to help me."

She glanced at her husband, who stood a little aloof, looking as awkward as meh generally do when serving as a buffer, for two angry women. "Did you not explain this to your xnothet\ Harvey ?>" 4 /'Fully; but my arguments failed to carry weight," he answered with as eumed lightness, hoping to win Helen to a less determined mood. He knew Phebe better than she did, and feared serious trouble if the housekeeper was defied. "I think we must try and do what the mater asks, sweetheart. She 1s seldom exacting, and the fancies of an Invalid should be humored." "I have no* patience witb sick fancies; they are born of weakness that should not be encouraged.

I wonder at you, Harvey, for encouraging her in such selfishness.** **Uh, well, well, don't let us Quarrel oyer anything so trifling. No doubt tomorrow will be soon enough to think about it." he hastily replied, slipping bis arm about her shoulders and drawing her to him. She gazed affectionately into his face and put up ber band to meet fete, her frown gone. He looked at Khebe, smiling persuasively. "I'm afraafl this wilful girl must have 3 What; HaveW.De«Bert?

Was she never again to be loved and loving? CHAPTER VIII. One morning a letter arrived from Mrs Leonard. Gladys read it carefully several times, then lay back in her chair to muse on its contents. All that day and the next—the Sabbath—sbo was very thoughtful, and in the afternoon, having had a long talk with Phebe, summoned Harvey to her room. His answer was a curt note: "When you have sent for my wife &nd apologized for the Insult offered to her and her sisters I will see you again —•not before. Meanwhile, it is only fair id warn you that I shall resist any Interference with Mrs. Athefton's plans through a third party, being convinced that She is serving your Interests and ours in the course she is pursuing. Gladys laughed sadly at the mannish assumption of the letter. Helen bad rather an imposing style, she admitted. She could scarcely believe that the wtiter was her once obedient son.

His army had been In long marches and awful .fights and fearful juhauatioasr and when they came to Sparrow hill the shout went up from tens of. thousands of voices, "Moscow, Meseow!" I der not wonder at the transport, A ridge of bills sweeps round the city. A river aemiclrcles it w i t h ^ U i a a £ « * J* i% spectacle that you place in yonr mam ory as one of three or four most beautiful scenes in all the earth. Napoleon's army marched on it In four divisions, four overwhelming torrents of valor and pomp. Down Sparrow hill and through the beautiful valley and across the bridges and into the palaces, shot of resistance because the avalanche of troops was irresistible. There is the room in which Napoleon slept; and his pillow, which must have been very uneasy, for ob, how short his stay! Fires kindled in all parts of the city simultaneously drove out that army into the snowstorms under which 95,000 men perished. How soon did triumphal march turn into horrible demolition. Today, while I spe&kV we come o n a high hill, a glorious hill of Christian anticipation. These hosts of God. have bud a long march, and fearful battles and defeats have again and again mingled with the victories, but today we come in sight of the great city, the capital of the universe,. the residence of the King, and t h e home of those who are to,-reign with h i m for ever and ever.

After having tor years considered only others, she now thought little of anything save herself, and the plans, lately decided upon, that would perhaps revolutionize her life, and she and her two servants were busy every hour that she might the sooner carry them out. 'Slighted dove will enable any proud woman to free herself from a bondage of the affections, and Gladys was harder in her pride than most, for her character was not free from an alloy of vanity. After a few days of unrestrained grief, she rose, one morning, pale but cheerful, resolved to cast Harvey from the innermost shrine of her heart, and give- him the place he had voluntarily chosen. From that moment life took on a new aspect for her, and slowly, but surely, the past began to recede into the night of things forgotten. In the flush or her new hopes and schemes she seemed more like the girl of old than she had for years. She laughed and sang, and darted about her rooms like a humming bird, Phebe said, delight in her eyes. She could not understand the suddenness and the completeness of the change; there was no mercury in honest Tomlinson's mental make up; but she dimly comprehended that after an age of self-suppression Gladys' free self was coming to the surface, and a new era of feeling had begun. One day Helen received the long-ex? pected summons to Mrs. Atherton's room. She was glad it had come at last; nothing would be gained by idle talk, but when everything was explained and definitely understood, life would be pleasanter for all concerned. Harvey missed his mother, and for policy's sake a reconciliation was deslrable; It could be easily effected, now that Gladys had Indicated a wish to come to terms. And she obeyed the summons promptly, determined to bring1 the Interview to a successful issue as soon as possible. She expected to find Mrs. Atherton pale and weak, with the inertia of an invalid; but Gladys' convalescence had been rapid, and she looked even better than she had before her illness. She was fully dressed, and Annette had arranged her hair in the latest style, which chanced to be especially becoming to her delicate beauty. Even Helen felt that it was absurd to affect to consider this radiant woman feeble or incapabale. "I was not prepared to find yoa so well,** she said rather awkwardly, when the greetings were over. "No? Oh, I am quite myself again; the rest has done me good, and sneoothed away incipient wrinkles," answered Gladys. Her tone was conrentlbnai, as if she addressed an acquaintance. "I suppose you know why I have sent for you?' An old feeling of doubt kept Helen silent. She was no longer sure that she did know. This fashionably dressed woman, with the superficial cordiality of manner that holds others aloof more surely than the coldest reserve, seemed a stranger to her. She felt she was not of her world, and the thought gave her an uncomfortable sense of Insecurity. "There seems to be a little difficulty about the household keys," Gladys resumed. "I understand that you wish to deliver them to me In person." "Tea, if you have fully decided to claim them," sai*V Helen, quickly. "But I hope, as does my husband, that you will leave them In my hands. I am sure you will approve of my methods if you take the trouble to look into them." . "1 detest petty details, as you know. Ton have bean very kind to interest yourself in my affairs during my illness,' and" I hope you will oblige me further by accepting this check for tVW'Gltdys carelessly pushed the bit- of evil in her to the surface. "No doubt you reason correctly from your point of view, but you are not informed concerning the facts," she said calmly. "To return to the matter in hand, It is absolutely necessary for Tomlinson to have the keys, because I am going to New York immediately, and there is packing to be done." "Going to New York?" Helen almost, gasped in her surprise. "Isn't the decision very sudden?" "Yes. It was made on the day Harvey wrote me that note-^you of course remember it." The two looked at each other full, each reading the thoughts of the other. "I should probably have gone eventually, however, for life is too quiet for me here, and I want to enter society again." •'Then your visit will be a long one?" "I hardly know when I shall return." Helen looked relieved. "In that case, we need not go into anything that is past If you are going away, the changes I have made in the establishment—and believe me, I intended them for the best—will no longer affect you." Gladys smiled, and A the smile troubled her daughter-in-law exceedingly. "You do not understand. The house will be closed when I go and the furniture sent after me. I do not care to keep up two establishments." "You intend to close the house!" Helen cried. "Yes. Saunders and his wife will have charge of it for the present. The other servants, to whom Tomlinson has been paying board wages during my illness—an unnecessary expense occasioned by your kind interest in my affairs—will go to the city with me or follow me there." —^Bo you mean ^to~say- that Phebe took the liberty of paying wages to the servants I discharged?" Helen demanded, her fine eyes blazing. "Oh, no—to the servants you dispensed with; she aid not recognise your right to discharge them. SO you see that instead of lessening my expenses by your considerate kindness, you materially increased them. Fortunately, it does not matter; I have plenty of ready money in hand." Nothing could be more careless than Gladys' tone. She spoke as though she had scarcely a passing interest in the subject discussed, and met Helen's amazed look with calm indifference. "I can hardly tell you how much all this surprises and shocks me," said the younger woman, after a pause. "It would have been only fair for Phebe to take me into her confidence, and so avoid such wicked waste." "Money is never wasted," said Gladys, in a languidly philosophical tone. "Wherever expended it does good to somebody. The spendthrift to always a benefactor, though he flsty not be his own. We are apt to.teJte a narrow view of this broad Q^eetton, and regard as wasted the good we do not individually enjoy. None the less it fulfills its mission somewhere* more worthily, perhaps, than Whom with us." Helen looked bewildered to near her butterfly talk in such wMe measure. There was no room hi her neatly docketed brain for ee leOfe and impersonal a truth. She felt she was not keeping the upper IssasV at this Interview, so caredaliy arranged in advance, and said with less than her customary assareace:. "I can't believe yeejgreally Intend to shut up the heneh,-^Mrs, Atherton. What is to heeeeaewf Harvey?" "Oh, my friend,!leave*him in your hands; yon IstyO shown yourself so well able to mejnage his affairs that I shall not*?** offer a suggestion." Under the etrenmstances the words were erupt; h>ti hnere is a touch of the tiger in ffVfCPf woman outraged by ina' few weeks to superintend the pack* tag of the furniture and close thai house. By that time yon will be set-J tied somewhere. The furniture U' your own rooms and the nursery, with] Harvey's piano, books, pictures, easel, everything, in short, that he accumu-| lated during his boyhood and youth I regard as his1 and'Phebe will see) that it hi sent to yon. 1 think there; is nothing more to be arid.** [ A few moments of silence ensued;' then Helen said in a choked tone: s "So this is your revenge—this my; reward—" "Don't waste words" Gladys broke, in, "not talk fustian. I am only doing1 what I should have done when Harveyt married. I wanted to go to the city then; but I had a foolish idea that I was necessary to him, and to re-, mained. Now I And I am not necessary, and count for nothing in his life,! I intend to take myself out of i t " "A man should forsake all others and cleave to his wife," said Helen, piously. Do you know I fancy you worshipful wives construe that passage rather too literally?" said Gladys, in the half philosophical, half mocking' way Helen found new in her, and1 which held her at an impassable distance. "No one will deny that when a man marries a woman he should forsake all other strange women, and keep to the one he has chosen, or who has chosen him; But there is no reason why he should forsake his kindred of either sex. This Harvey seems ta have done, however, and he cannot complain when the forsaken follow his lead." "And is it possible that you have so little natural affection for your only son that you can coolly leave him to poverty while you, his mother, are rolling in wealth?" "Fustian again, Helen. Twelve hundred dollars a year is not poverty. In Rockville it is a competence. You are an excellent housekeeper; you managed your father's house on much less." The color deepened in Helen's face; ber father's limited means had always been a sore spot with her. Her good sense, however, told her that it would be unwise to lose her temper. "You will make Harvey an allowance? You surely do not expect us to live on his salary?" "I expect nothing; I advise nothing. I have not the right, for henceforth I shall do nothing unless he should come to real want, which is almost impossible. The events of the past year have convinced me that it is better for him to depend upon himself, and work for the money you both so much desire. With your help he may eventually become a rich man. At the worst, the struggle will be morally strengthening." There was no longer any indifference in Mrs. Atherton's tone. She spoke seriously, without anger, yet firmly, as one who through reasoning had reached a just and unalterable decision. "It is true I have money enough and to spare. But the lonely days I have endured since Harvey's marriage have suggested a probability long ago discarded— that of my own. In view of it, you can readily understand why, evqn were there no other reason. I prefer to keep control of my property." Helen's face was a study. Gladys' arguments were unanswerable, but she could not. would not, believe that her own cause was lost. "I will bring Harvey to you," she said faintly. "This affair cannot be settled between you and me. There are other things to be considered." "Do as you please; but my resolve, precipitated by your own action, is taken. However, as I leave early in the morning, perhaps I'd better bid my son good-by tonight. There is no need of your being present at the interview. I prefer to see him alone." "That you may poison his mind against me?" cried Helen, instantly on the defensive. "No, Mrs. Atherton, I will not trust you with my dear husband. God, who reads all hearts, knows I have tried to do my duty only. That I have blundered is because I have been treacherously dealt with. But I will fight for his rights to the last" "Be careful; you know not what you may do," replied Gladys, earnestly. "I will, at least, try to undo the evil I have done," said Helen, a break in her voice, and then she was gone, and Gladys, w4th a fluttering heart, awaited her return with Harvey. A great dread was upon her; she felt that the hour she had foreseen all her life was near at hand, and the sacrifice of years had availed nothing. (To be continued.)

A newspaper whose columns overflow with ads of buisness men has more influence in attracting attention to and building up a city or town than any other agency that can be employed. People go where tnere is business. Capital and labor will locate where ther is an enterprisiug community. No power on earth is^so strong to build up a town as a newspaper well patronized, and its power should be appreciated. —Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage. l Bolted by tn» W, C.

T h e One T h a t W i l l S u r e l y B e a t F a r o a n d R o u l e t t e . "Every confirmed gambler in the world has spent more or less time trying to figure out some system to beat the game," said a well known northern sporting man. "The commonest and most plausible scheme is the one known as 'progression.' It is simply a don> bling of bets until a winning occurs, and theoretically it is perfect, but the trouble is that all gambling games have a limit, and the doubling process increases a wager with such enormous rapidity that it is apt to get over the stipulated amount before the winning takes place. UI was at Monte Carlo laat spring," continued the speaker, "and was surprised at the number of touts who infested- the grounds peddling 'sure thing* systems to break the bank. The ludicrous part of it was that most of the peddlers were seedy and poverty stricken in appearance, yet they purported to. sell secrets which would Infallibly enrich any purchaser. I asked one fellow why he didn't try bis system himself and buy a new bat, and he replied very glibly that he was •working for a syndicate' and under bonds not to play. "Nearly all of these systems are based on progression and would be impossible in high play owing to the casino limit. Nevertheless I saw a number of small progression players at the tables and was told .that they have been a fixture there fir many years. They were nearly all horrible looking, bloodless old women, who began with the smallest possible wager and quit when they won 20 frnnofi, or less than $4. A house official informed me that they were tolerated about the place on account of age and, infirmity and that their dally winnings were regarded in the light of a pension. I n the days of open gambling In New Orleans 1 remember there used to be several broken down sftorts who were said to make a living off the games by ^progression playing,' I have my doubta about It however. The best system and the only system thai will beat faro and roulette Is to stay awar.*—Now Orleans Time* T 7 ^ ^ . . .

P. C. there came seven knocks on that empty cider bar'l. and as I stood there shakin I heard a whispered voice a-sayln, 'Manner Gallup, git ready to be an angel!' It was my summons, and I've got to go. Nobody kin hold back ag'in a summons. What kind of a second wife shall you marry. Samuel?" Mr. Gallup had paused in his labors and was looking absently at; a robin in a cherry tree. "You needn't feel at all delikit about talkin it over with me." said Mrs. Gallup as she dabbed at her eyes with the apron. "I've alius s'pected you'd git married ag'in if I should die, and I shan't howl and squeal avout it. Mrs. Bebee says If her husband marries ag'in she'll haunt him, but you needn't be afraid of me. I'd rutlier you married ag'in. If you didn't, you'd be goin to circuses and dogfights and candy pulls and become as wicked as Silas Johnson. S'pose you've kinder had your eye out, hev'n't you, Samuel— that Is, you've kinder made up your mind about what sort of a you'd, man ;r ?" Mr. Gallup withdrew his gaze from the rob!u and returned to his work of sharpening the sickle, and Mrs. Gnl- | lup's nose had grown very red with the i pulling when she continued: j "There's the Widder Lapliam. Sara- \ uel, and everybody says she's wuth ! $2,000, but 1 wouldn't want you to mari ry her. She's too hlty tlty for a man i of youY age.

Judge Clifford Smith of Cedar Falls, *a», holds that good citizens are needed more in this country than mere voters. Therefore he refused to grant naturalisation papers to several foreigners who came before him because they were unable to understand some simple ques- - tlons which he-put to-them.None of them could either read or write English, and the Judge told them that he did not think they were aa yet ready for citizenship. telling the hour of eight, when down the main stairs stepped Wilder WIN kins, a bachelor, a man of the world, a millionaire and a cynic. "Was your dinner all right, Mr. Wllklns?" asked, the office man, and the club member's answer as he passed through toward the reading room was: ^'Very good, indeed." Wtlkins sat st one of theta/Mes, and picking up a paper imagined that he was reading, but his delusion was broken within a minute by his arising and looking through a window into the brilliantly lighted street. "There's life enough out there," he murmured to himself, as he turned in a tired sort of wis; and looked in a hopeless fashion at the various portraits on the walls. Then he returned to the reading tables and lighting a cigar affected deep Interest in a book he had taken up. "It's mighty strange," said he, after a pause, "that a mere sentiment can send dosens of srdlnarlly good fellows sat upon the floor an* smiled grin>ly as he passed a somewhat harsh estimate a* to his own character. _'*Weiv» he finally observed, as he arose to his fast, "I'll Just go out .and get good and drunk in earnest No imitations for me," and then he walked toward the window that opened into the' bustling street Directly opposite, and on the same level with Wllklns' apartments, were the central office*) o£ the telephone company, and as he looked across he saw the harnessed heads of halff a hundred or more of the hello girts. With his own room dark he felt justified in boldly studying the busy picture before him. As he looked, he thought of the dividends he received regularly from the telephone stock he owned and then reached the conclusion7 that he was entitled: tcFfcnow something of the details of the business. And so, forgetting his resolution to. make a night of it, he wondered as to the wages paid to the girls, and then, dreamily tapping- his lingers against the pane, he reached the conclusion that "the world is living altogether too fast, our impetus is too great; we have no time to be ; - , k » * » y A recommendation of the recent Par- Is conference on international copyright is that no modification of an author's work shall be made without his —consent—Is not this principle morally binding after an author's death? The rapid multiplication of denominational hymn-books has led compilers so materially to alter the verses used that they often express opposite tenets from offense to attach an author's name to a hymn so altered. It's rank nonsense to presume that a man can't love a woman just as well If she is the daughter of a roilllonaire as If she were only a saleswoman, and just as aliiy, too, to think a woman cant be As devoted to a man with a title as to one who is a motorman, for instance.

Then he threw away his half consumed cigar and with the strength of a firm resolution made his way to the card room, where for half an hour or more he applied hlmsetf- to solitaire. "That beats the record," he said, thriving down his cards and looking at his watch. "Half-past nine o'clock and not a soul has entered the place. PresentlyIwflTTajr something irarshr about Christmas." At this juncture his eye caught a new lot of notices on the club bulletin and stepping serosa the roam he studied them, now and then offering comments unfavorable upon what he had read. even decent toward each otheri we grind ourselves and crush others and—-" •The sentence was never finished, because WUkins walked slowly back to his bed, and within ten minutes was sleeping peacefully. Early the following morning the bachelor millionaire and cynic visited the office of the telephone company and was busy for nearly an hour with the managers and a stenographer, men, taking a coupe, he was driven to the markets, the dry goods stores, and department stores and elsewhere, and on the morning of Christmas every one of the girls in the service of the telephone company received the "Compliments of the Telephone Co/1 attached to a large turkey which rested across two large boxes, the One being filled with groceries and the other containing a fine four-button coat and various smaller articles, such as gloves, handkerchiefs and the like.

A veil across the nose didn't go ao bad early in the morning on the way to the turkey raffle. The Christmas shooting match was reached through banks of ethereal frosts, and before 10 o'clock In the morning the snow had been swept from thsjulU pond. Tne beeches popped like the ring of a patrolman's mace against a metal lamp post. On either side of Old Sol sat a "son dor" and the stalactite was a fixture beneath Grandfather's mustache. No man stood in danger of. losing his Ufa by asking hU neighbor If it was cold enough for him. for it <was a pleasure in those days to be plain and perpetuate both the virtues and the established wit of the human family. By this time of the year the cattle had been comfortably weathered in, tbs poultry had been housed and the winter wood was beyond the reach of the trusts. The nude form of the rabbit lay frosen-^upon the woodshed; and the spelling bee as well as the husking fete were not to be despised. A woolen comfort around the neck was better than a rope, and fire crackers were a luxury not to be scoffed at. In those olden golden days a red* candy fish couldn't get so near the foot of the Christmas stocking as to make Its digestion difficult, while the jackin- the-box never failed to please.

This condition has been brought about in large measure by increased consumption in homes. When people drink toeer at home," says Mr. -Hagemelster, "they ere satisfied when thirst is appeased. In saloons the social or treating feature makes them drink a great deal more. The result to the brewer can be easily understood." :,*. W' A ' : i > . ! The album habit is so strong and its expressions are so varied that little wonder ought to be felt at an account of an album in which a young woman has placed a piece of each gown she has bought, and has noted on the page the date of purchase and the time when the garment was last worn. The 9rice also is attached, both as an encouragement and a warning, it is to be •apposed. An observer of the other sex might suggest an enlargement of the album pages so as to include a summary of the miles traveled in selecting the dresses. There might be 'added aa estimate of the total of regrets that other patterns were not preferred or different fashionmgs ordered. Mo one, of course, would cloud the pages with surmises as to the aggregate of sighs of envy or whispers of criticism which each dress called into! being. > , Surfeited by this species of recreation he visited the coatroom, and when the boy who assisted him with hat and coat asked: "Are you going home so early, Mr. Wllklns?" he responded: Ton don't suppose I would stay in such a place as this when I have the alternative of going to bed, do you?" An hour later, utterly free from anything akin to appreciation of the elegance of his' apartments, and totally blind to the mellowness of the light of human Intercourse, Wilkins was In bed telling himself that he was an absolute idiot for having been born with the faculty of acquiring money, and scolding any man, himself in particular,who had judgment so poor as to favor his stomach in preference to his tired eyelids, his tired head and hl8 tire£. heart. / He simply could not sleep, and he found himself listening to the rustle of the pillow beneath his head as he tried to formulate the intangible patterns he seemed to see even though his eyes were closed. Just when it seemed^ to him that he had conquered the sleep god, aa L train over the Sixth avenue caughi a special stratum of clearness in the atmosphere and aroused him with its noises. At this he rolled over in bed, and pushing a clinched fist under his jaw, commanded: "Here, now, don't be a helpless imbecile, but go to sleep." And his answer wss a twinge in one of his feet so that his next task was the recovery of the loosened bedclothes. And then he went to sleep. That is to say, he thought he was asleep, and so ventured to discover himself on the outer circumference of a vast globe which was sailing swiftly through illimitable space, while, In a frensy of despair, he was keeping sis position on the whirling thing simply by force of bleeding fingers sad bruised and clinging legs set against the hard surface. His vision extended millions of miles, so that he saw clearly that gradually he wss losing the hold which was to seed him down, down forever into chaos. At last his overstrained nature yleldled, the fingers let go, and he awokx with a yell, on tbs floor at the side Strange to say that while the girls believe the gifts were made by the company the manager of the company says this belief Is incorrect and that the company hasn't spent a cent for •uch a purpose. And among the comments made-on this item of news was one by Wilkins, who said, as he lighted a cigar: "That's a pretty newspaper romance all right, but I'll bet the company bestowed the gifts. I've got no faith in these mysterious, unknown benefactors." And the other members of the club were of the same opinion. tShe T>ay*ir Height and "Depth* Christmas' realm is s,000 feet thick.

" VrrOing Out "Bxfil On:" The Japanese little folks know nothing of the mysterious joys of Christmastide, but the name of Hotel, a celebrated priest who was kind to children, signifies to the Japanese boys and girls, in a measure, what Santa Claus doss to young America. Hotel is represented with an immense sack, gathering good things for his young friends. He is said to have eyes In the back of his head and to be able to see around corners, thus finding out whether the little ones are good or naughty. The Japanese New Tear was formerly a movable festival like that of the Chinese, but it is now celebrated on a date corresponding to our first of January. This is a day of universal rejoicing with both old and young. The ceremony of mame-maki, bean throwing, is a leading feature in the preparation for this holiday. There i s a superstition prevalent among the Japanese that there may be evil spirits in the house which must be driven out before the dawn of the new year. Accordingly, on the last night of the,old year the house is swept and cleaned and the windows and doors are hung with ferns. Then the house father, arrayed in his very best clothes, goes through all the rooms, the little ones of the family, undismayed at the thought of possible hobgoblms, skipping gayly after him. He has provided himself with a quantity of dried beans and these he throws into the corners snd recesses, crying aloud: "Qui wa soto, fuku wa uchi." (Demons depart, good luck enter.) The young folks join joyfully in the cry, frolicking and laughing till the8tour of the house Is completed, and the horsed demons and other evil spirits—who are supposed to have a great aversion to beans—have made their escape through the open dooiv _— - ^ YARNALL INSTITUTElUiMniih, ahum FOR THE CURE OF Alcoholism -OR- Drunkenness Established in 1892.

I believe the state of Texas would offer greater inducements to the Boers than any other place. It is true there, are no public lands in Texas. When that state entered the union it reserved all its lands, and they are now known as school lands. They can be bought for from 31.25 to S2 an acre, with five years to pay ijt in.

Besides himself there were at the station a party of American tourists of the kind you read about In English books and an English family of the kind you read about in American books. The Americans were loud voiced and ungrammatical. They laugh' ed a great deal and they ate peaches, the stones of which they t&rew at a post to test their marksmanship. They were persons for whom Uncle Sam himself would have felt apologetic, and they displeased the haughty Britlsh materfamilias greatly. To the younger members of her family, a gawky boy and a lanky and "leggy" girl of the typical elongated English variety—they were objects of great interest, however, and the girl in particular edged nearer and nearer, to her mother's great disgust. At last she was so near that mamma could endure it no longer. "Clara!" she called in her loudest voice, "come away at Once. You might be mistaken for one of those disgusting Americans!" A pretty young American looked up and swept Clara from head to foot with a calm glance. Then she went on eating peaches. "Don't worry, madam," she called out cheerily.

But the fastest base runner I ever heard of was, or wasn't as the case may have been, Steve Speed, who played, or who didn't play, I don't know which, with the Ringtail Hoarers. At any rate, whether he ever played with the Roarers or not, he was certainly the fastest that ever came over the crossways. You don't understand? Well. I'll tell you all about him. "One afternoon about a month before the last game we ever played with the Ringtail Roarers the boys were all sitting round in the postofflce discussing our chances for the big contest Captain Slugger Burrows, who was tending postofflce that day, was over In the corner reading the ball news in a Jones i was—if he was. bat.

The Courier got straight; from their own private high eourcs that this gay Speed was even, b#ttr thai the week before. He was new at super at the game that he not only ran down behind the plate and caught the balls that he pitched, but in ease the natter knocked a fly he darted out la the field and caught It himself* Tbe Roarers had, according to The Couriers released their whole outfield. When we read that, Bull Thompson wanted % cancel the game, but the Sluggerwouldn't hear of it The Lightfoot Lilies,' he said, 'may be made to look like tarbeel thistles, but we woa*t wither before we're picked.' ; "When the big game finally did come" off, the Roarers certainly had us on the run. For three innings they piled up runs almost at will. But then we began to get wise. Where was this fast running pbenom? Cy Priest was still in the pitcher's box, and the whole outfield seemed to be in their usual places. Perhaps he was sick. The thought gave us courage, and we began to pick up a bit You all know, bow we finally pulled the game out of the fire In the last half of the tenth. ThaTs a matter of history now. Well, after it was over the Slugger went up to Cy Priest "•Say." he asked. 'Where's tout hot base runner of yours, CyT "'You mean Steve Speed?' replied Cy, with a funny look In his eye.

"Did you ever think about the logic of stimulants?' he asked. "Nature supplies her own. It is astonishing what she will do if yon give ber a chance.

The newcomer's name is Steve Speed. His extraordinary ability was first discovered while he was-in-the box one day last week. He stopped an easy grounder and tossed it over to first to catch the runner. The ball had no sooner left his hand than, to his horror, he discovered that first was uncovered. Without a moment's hesitation he made a dive for the bag and succeeded in reaching It just in time to catch the ball that he had thrown but an instant before, thereby scoring a ly know.

Blake has written Gov. Pingres rehearsing his troubles, stating the eaaoaht of his damage, as he figures it, sod intimating that the govennor •ought to aid him in an appeal to the legislature.

The cemetery trustees at Dowagiae ^endeavor to inaugurate a custom there which prevails in numerous other cities with very great success. The plan is to induce the owners of lots in the •eemetery to deposit 8100 with the .cemetery board, who will iu turn invest . the money in municipal bonds. At 6 per cent this investment would provide -an income of 96 per year, which amount the trustees would appropriate ananally and send to the investor a re- -eeipt in full for the special care of his •cemetery property. Thus all expenses would be paid for the lot owner by the mere deposit of 9100, which money would always remain the property of the depositor. »i uncial Yojte in Mlcblf-nD. The canvass ot the election returns i n the state was recently completed. The work has been delayed on account -of errors in the returns which had to be corrected. In some of the counties these were also errors in the names of >casWHdates as they were printed on the •official ballot, resulting in a large namber of votes being canvassed as scattering which were intended for regular party nominees. The canvass shows that President McKinley received 104,584 plurality in the state. The Populist candidate for President received 833, the Prohibition candidate 11,859, the Social*Democratic candidate 2,836, and the Socialist Labor 003. The plurality of Gov.-elect Bliss was 79,- 284. • More about Good Roads. Hark to this bit of wisdom from Editor Hubbeli, of the Marlette Leader, which ought to be indorsed by every farmer in Michigan: "There should be a genuine overhauling of road laws and methods in Michigan and some plan carried out that would do away with the semi-annual closing, up of trans* portation. The farmer loses more every year in increased expense of getting to market than good roads would cost him, and the business man's loss is fully as much. A law that would compel the building of roads by contract and do away with the road work farce should be welcomed." but many exposures. Another gas well was struck at Royal Oak on the ^fcb»- '.

This makes it one of the best endowed college libraries in Michigan, and enables it to keep abreast of the times in latest valuable publications. Some rare and costly books have been added this term. There has beets considerable talk at Saline of organising a hand, but it never seemed to get any further than just talk. Thekideof the village finally got togetherv acted instead of talking, and organized a band. They are confident that they will be able to turn out good music before the older folks get beyond the talking stage. Three years ago Jerome W.

C H I N A W A R N E W S . eoufert>:l?;: It is now dawning upon the German press and public that Mr. Hay, the American secretary of state," has secured arrout aud out diplomatic victory in;obli|rfng the powers, Germany included, to yield to his arguments in favor of more moderate terms in the preliminary joint note to the Chinese peace plenipotentiaries. This clearly defined defeat is especially bitter at Berlin, because Emperor William had set his heart on imposing the most humiliating conditions upon upon the Chinese and thus emphasizing Ger» many Vpwer in^Jfcbeir eyes. Definite instructions supplementing a communication from London on the 15th, have been received by Sir Ernest Mason Satow, the British minister, and he now demands a modification of a point in the* joint note which the j foreign envoys-generally regard as im- ^|x>rtant. This means further delay, as all the ministers must communicate anew with their respective governmenta Just what is the nature of the objection raised by Great Britain the ministers decl'n^ to say, but they admit that the new demand will involve a good deal more diplomatic procedure.' The negotiations of the powers in regard to the joint China note were concluded ruttisfactorily on the 11th, all agreeing to to the conditions identically as outlined by Count von Buelow, tbe imperial chancellor of Germany, Nov. 19, with the exception of the introductory ^clause saying the demands are irrevocable, which is eliminated T R A N S V A A L W A R I T E M S .

This doesn't necessarily mean that the appropriation will be made A single objection can defeat it for this session*,. More or less private pension bills have been introduced in the house sinee the session opened. With the great number of publio bills on tbe calendar there is very little hope of any of these new bills reaching a vote before the life of the present congress expiree, They of course will die with the *©»* sion. The President has approved'the lists submitted by the governor of Hawaii, of the sales and other dispositions of the publio domain, made by the^flajv, wailan governor, between July 7, 1898, and Sept. 86, 1898.

"It 4s as well; I do not fear for your future.' You certainly have not suffered from my selfishness in the past" "Don't you think the less you say -about your past the better?" he asked, ejurrtstt beyond all prudence, all kiadnesaVby a burning sense of his wrongs. For a full minute they looked steadily at each others; her womanly intuition enabled J hef to read tha thoughts that owed their existence* to Hfelen, and her weakened affection for him seemed to fall dead. "It rifta-to-be » hnndredi" she said slowly, her face hard with acorn, "I will never forgive you for that insult, even though I know it orgfnated with the woman who has *o strangely perverted your moral ttature. Your wickedness and covatoasness deserve punnhmejiti nnd it has overtaken yon in the way you will teal most; for though you have no legal claim upon my money, I always intended ta provide lor you when you came of age, and should have carried out the Intention, hi spite of the fact that you married against my wish, had ;not your wife's character so soon revealed itself.

In keeping control of your prop* erty you may be right by law, hut you, are acting dishonestly none the less. So far I fully agree with my wife." With a low cry Gladys fell hack in her chair. As if waiting-for the signal, Phebe entered the room, a terrible old woman in her wrath. "I am going to tell them the truth, Miss Gladys, whether you forbid it or not," she defiantly announced. "As Mr. Harvey-says, this isn't the- time for pretending, and I gue^s we can settle the matter out of court" Gladys -put up a protesting hand, but she would not heed. "I'll make short work of it. You're wrong in thinking you have any sort of share in the mistress' property,, Mr. Harvey, because her father, Joseph Stirling, your grandsire, didn't own a dollar In i t He married twice—first a poor girl who died when her baby was horn; then a rich young heiress, who also died early in life leaving her money to her only child, Gladys, your aunt or half aunt; for you are the. son of the daughter of the first marriage." "My God! The mater is not my mother?" cried Harvey, after a stupefied pause. He sprang to his feet and gazed wildly from one face to the other, with the look of a man pierced to the heart. "Madam, madam, is this true?" he imploringly asked. Then, meeting Gladys' compassionate yet strangely cold look, with a half sob lie threw himself into chair and buried his face in his hands, never moving until Phebe had finally ceased speaking. Helen said nothing; her burning eyes were fixed on the housekeeper; she knew she told the truth, and that from the fair domain which had promised to be her garden of Eden, she was banished forever. "You know how your mother married. Mr. Stirling swore he would never forgive' her; but he was a Just man, and sent her the money she would have had when she came of age. It didn't last long. Twenty thousand dollars isn't much in the hands of a gambler. And when it was gone he went too." "Miss Gladys was at school when your, poor mother begged her way to New York, her baby in her arms.

It was Helen who brtfke the dreary pause. "You hated me from the first," she said in a voice uneven with rage, "and have well'calculated your revenge. You .know I would die for Harvey, and by making me the apparent medium of his downfall, you try to inflict upon me the most harrowing of punish; m«ntfl» But here you fail, Gladys Atherton, for it is yoji who have been his ruin. You have scorned me, not in words, perhaps, but with meaning looks, for having decoyed him into marriage before your appointed time. I know how you regard my peoplethat, too, your looks have told. And what are you, pray, with all your pride? In the beginning a bold, pampered girl following the first man who though it worth his while to beckon her to shame, for aught she knew or cared, no that her fancy was gratified "Harvey,v cried Gladys, deadly pale, "bid this impious woman be silent. unforgiving spirit, but she sent for me—I was in his service^—from the hospital where she lay dying, and by her deathbed I promised never to forsake her child, and to hide him from her husband, Matthew Harvey, who would try to make use of the boy to get money from his young aunt Gladys. He was bad enough for anything, she said. I had a little money saved, and put you to board with a woman I knew. I always had it in my mind to tell the master some day; but he had a heart trouble and I daresn't do it. "I hadn't a chance to worry long, for in a few months after your motner died he fell dead in the street, without a moment's warning.

Phebe paused, overcome by sad memories. Gladys, unnerved by all that had passed, was crying, but not as the wholly desolate weep; she no longer strove to prevent her old friend from speaking. "*our mother's sorrows had Uft their mark on you, Mr. Harvey; you were a sad little tot, with mournful eyes and atlmorous manner. You ran to my dear young lady, attracted by her sweet voice, and-hid your face in her gown, and when we left they had to drag you away; we heard your screams as the carriage drove off, and Miss Gladys sobbed all the way home. After that, the idea of your growing up among strangers, with no one to love you—just considered for the money you brought mayhap—was terrible to her. We must take you far away to a corner in the west, where none would know us, and you'd be sate from your father. I begged her on my knees not to spoil' her life; but she coaxed and argued and cried till she got the better of me, and we left New York unhindered, her having no relations.'

She'll fet over ft. for . she's young yet But you've ^nade a strange return to her lor wasted years!" Not a word was spoken by either of the other three. Helen stole over to her husband and* timidly laid her hand on his shoulder. All self-confidence was gone from her bearing; she, seemed cowed and beaten; and for the first time her loving touch was unheeded. Phebe looked at her frowningly. "Ay, comfort him if you can; he'll have need of it" she said in a hard tone. "If he comes to ruin he may. thank you; but for your avarice and meddling he'd have had a good bit of money—a hundred thousand dollars, no less. He'll never have it now: Perhaps he'll not reproach you just yet for his loss, since he helped you out with the deviltry you called your duty. But he'll know it's to you he owes it—he wasn't full grown when you took him in hand, and easily led —and the thought will grow and grow untiLone- day-he'il^despise--youin_his heart, and turn from the love that dragged him down." As if that day had come, Helen moved nearer to her husband, the rich color ebbing, even from her lips. Gladys half rose. "Be merciful, Phebe," she gently remonstrated. "You are too hard. Go now, dear old friend; enough has been said." Muttering still, Phebe lumbered away, furtively wiping her eyes; under her bristling exterior beat a warm heart, and, despite her anger, she felt for Harvey in his hour of darkness. As the door closed behind her he raised his head, revealing* a—whiter'wTld face. "I must speak to my—-my aunt alone, Helen," he said hoarsely. "Leave us together."

Consequently they had better opportunities and greater inclination for recreation of the healthiest kind. They felt able to rise in the morning early enough for gymnastics, their work the day before not being so irksome as to make them feel they needed every moment of sleep possible, as is often the case nowadays, and in the late afternoons and evenings they could could enjoy an athletic game. The girls some years ago exerted much less than they do now, their course of study usually being mild in comparison to the average of today, and few of them were in business or the professions. Therefore their need was less for strengthening exer cises. Although the mental and physical work that the men and- women of this generation do has greatly increased they do not seem to have realized that a counteracting force is absolutely necessary for the number is growing larger every day.

'Mexico buys more American books than does France, and nearly as many as Germany. Much of this trade Is due to the large resident American* population to be found in Mexican cities and to the demand from mining camps, where Americans are living, and not a little is due to the growing spread of English among the Mexican people.

This will put the matter of covering up any further crookedness of the military board strictly up to the governor, and a refusal to grant the request will be construed as another attempt to cover up the guilt of former members of his military family. Sop. -elect Burns will go to the next session of the legislature loaded with a proposed amendment to the constitution limiting the governor's power to pardon. It is his idea to have a state pardon of three appointed, with an annual salary of 83,500 each, and a sixyear terqa, no pardon to be issued without the sanction of this board. The governor wilt have-power to review t the action of the board, but not to grant a pardon of his own account, It is said that Gov. Pingree was greeted with marked silence by the joint session of the legislature on the 12th. In the first place he set the time for meeting the joint session at 2 o'clock; the house adjourned until 1:45 to conform, but the senate adjourned until 2:45, causing the governor to wait 45 minutes at the pleasure of that body, a breach of courtesy before unheard of. Rep. Heinmann on the 13th introduced the Oren equal tax measure in the house. The bill, if made a law, will give the the state board of tax commissioners power to make annual assessments of the property of all railroad companies in the state at its true cash value, for the purpose of levying and collecting taxes .thereon. It is said the governor is thinking of sending in a special message, calling upon tbe legislature to pass a law providing that all courts and schools shall be run on standard time, and by sodoing proposes to adjust the local and stundnrd timei prbblemf if he ~can ^Bax& sentiment enough to warrant a message on tbe subject By a vote of 69 to 13 the blanket bill providing? for the taxation of railroads, union station and depot companies, express, telegraph and telephone companies, passed the house on the 14 th. This puts the measure up to the senate and all sorts of guessing is being done as to its ultimate fate. According to Rep. Dingley there was a movement started by house members on the day after White and Marsh were pardoned to have the present special session adjourned instanter upon convening,-,as a rebuke to Gov. Pingree. However, the scheme is wholly dead now. The governor's pardons have weakened his influence and given the opponents of the Atkinson bill a chance to shout They are discussed as much among the members of the legislature now as they were by the people on the day and the day after tbe pardons were granted. A poll of the state senators on the equal taxation bill on the 12th showed that 13 members, were openly opposed to pass the measure now; 3 were noncommittal, 7 were unheard from, and only 9 declared for immediate action.

The transverse court corresponding to the cross of the T, is the EsplaiAde. capable of accommodating 250.000 people. North of. this, corresponding with the perpendicular of the T, are the Court of Fountains and the Plaza, which reach almost to the northern limits of the grounds.

T h e priest ties a corner of the bride's veil t o the groom's shawl, and this simple proceeding makes them man and wife. ft: 4#. " :?<+> A young western attorney was recently asked why h e had so strenuously defended" a woman who could not pay him. "I can never forget,'-' he re-: plied, "that she lived at the end of my long paper route when I was a struggling college boy. More than once in winter her kind heart prompted her to rise very early to have a cup of hot coffee ready for her newsboy, fearing lest he might perish with the cold." Such acts defy commercial "repayment" as mttch as mother-love or sister influence. How does the old Persian poet put It? "In Time's fleeting river The image of that little ylne-leaf lay; Immovably unquiet, and forever It trembles, but it cannot pass away." ; ; / : • : &K -A •M Bfc A Paris newspaper gives the weight of certain European sovereigns.

His two texts are Revelation xxl., 13, "On the south three gates;" Psalm cxMi., "He hath not dealt s o with any nation." Among the greatest needs of, our country i s more gratitude t o God for the unparalleled prosperity bestowed upon us. One of my texts calls u s t o international comparison. What nation on all. the planet has of late had such enlargement of commercial opportunity as is now opening before this nation? Cuba and Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands brought into close contact with us&nd through steamship subsidy and Nicaragua canal, which w i l l surely be afforded 4>y congress, all the republics of South America will be brought into most active trade with the United/States. "On tlie south three gates." While our next door neighbors, the southern republics and neighboring colonies, imported from Euro1 pean countries 3,000 miles away $675,- 000,000 worth of goods in a year, only $126,000,000 worth went from the United States— $126,000,000 out of $675,000,- 000, only one-fifth of the trade ours. European nations taking the four fingers and leaving u s the poor thumb. Now all this is t o be changed. There is nothing but a comparative ferry between- the islands which have recentlycome under our protection, and only a ferry between us and Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela, Salvador, Nicaragua, Colombia, Costa Rica, Equador, Brazil, while there are raging seas and long voyage between them and Europe. B y the mandate of the United States a i r that will be changed through new facilities of transportation. Th« Nation** AdTwrtlacflaeatfr In anticipation of what is sure t o come, I nail on the front door of this nation an advertisement: Wanted.—One hundred thousand men t o build railroads through South America and the island of the sea under our protection. . Wanted.—A thousand telegraph operators^- — Wanted.—One hundred million dollars' worth of dry goods from the great cities of the United States. Wanted.—All the clocks you -can make at New Haven and all the brains can spare-from Boston and all the bells you can mold) at Troy and all the McCormick reapers you can fashion at Chicago and all the hams you can turn out at Cincinnati and all the railroad iron you can sendi from Pittsburg and all the statesmen that you can spare from Washington. Wanted.—Rlgftt away, wanted by new and swifter steamers, wanted by rail-train, lawyers t o plead our cause. Wanted.—Doctors t o cure our sick. Wauted.^-Mlniaters t o evangelise our population. Wanted.—Professors to establish our universities. "On the south three gates," yea, a thousand gates. South America and all the islands of the sea approximate are rightfully our commercial domain, and the congress of the United States will see to it that we get .vhat belongs to us. And then tides of travel will be somewhat diverted from Europe, to our islands at the. south and t o the land of the Aztecs. Much of the $125,000,000 yearly expended by Amertoans^w Europe will be expended in southern exploration, in looking at some of the ruins of the 47 cities which Stephens found only a little way apart and in walking through the great doorways and over the miracles of mosaic and along by the monumental glories of another civilization, and ancient America will with cold lips of stone kiss the warm lips of modern America, and to have seen the Andes and Popocatepetl will be deemed as important as to ave seen the Alpine and Balkan ranges, and there will be fewer people spoiled by foreign travel, and in our midst less of the poor and nauseating imitation of a brainless foreign swell. Some Happy Condition*. Again, in this international comparison notice the happy condition of our country as compared with most countries. Russia under the shadow of the dreadful illness of her great and good emperor, who now, more than any man in all the world, represents "peace on eartfe, good will t o men," and whose empress, near" the most solemn hour that ever comes t o a woman's soul, i s anxious for him t o whom, s h e has given hand and heart, not t o r political reasons,'boi through old fashioned lore such as blesses o a r humMer dwellings; India under tfce agonies of m j . e famjne wklcfe rlrwigh.it>ibe<iba»iil»> e d ; * e . filled hundreds Of thooseMfcot clamation of t h e t e x t "He bath n o t dealt s o with a n y n i t t o u t * ' Ooianare the autumnal report of. harvests l a Amertea this year and *he har-vests abroad. " l a s t summer I crossed the continent of Euros* twice, and I saw no' snob harvest* a s are spoken of in this statement. Hear i t , all you men and women- w h o want everybody to have enough t o e a t and wear. I have t o tell you that t h e corn crop of our country this year i s one of the four largest crops o n record —2,105,000,000 bushtb*! T h e cotton crop, though smaller than, a t some times, will on that account bring bigger prices, and s o cotton planters of the south are prosperous. The wheatfields have provided bread enough and to sparer The potato crop, one of-the five largest crops on record—211,000,000 bushels! Twenty-two million t w o hundred thousand swine slain, and yot so many hogs left. Tha Story of Prosperity. But now I give you the comparative exports and imports, which tell the story of national prosperity a s nothing else can.; Excess of exports over imports, $544,400,000. Now let all pessimists, hide themselves In the dene and caves of the earth, while all grateful souls fill t h e churches with doxology. Notice also that while other countries are at their wits' ends a s to their finances this nation has money to lend. Germany, we are glad to see you in Wall street. If you must borrow money, we have it all ready. How much will you have? Russia, w e also welcome you into our money markets. Give us good collateral. Meanwhile, Denmark, will you please accept our offer of $3,000,000 for the island of S t Thomas? My hearers, there i s no na- _ tion on earth with such heaithy~con-- dition of finances. We wickedly waste an awful amount of money in this country, but some one has said it i s easier to manage a surplus than a deficit Besides all this, not a disturbance from S t Lawrence river to Key West or from Highlands of New Jersey t o Golden Horn of the Pacific Sectional controversies ended.—The north and south brought into complete accord by the Spanish war, which put t h e Lees and the Grants on the same side, Vermonters and Georgians in t h e same brigade. And since our civil war w e are all mixed up. SouthenTmen nave married northern wives, and northern men have married southern wives, and your children are half Mississippian and half New Englaad«ivaad to make another division between the north and the south possible you would have to do with your child as Solomon proposed with the child 'brougnt be-^ fore him for Judgment—divide it with the sword, giving half to the north and half t o the Bouth. No, there i s nothing s o hard to split as a cradle. In other lands there is compulsory marriage of royal families, some 'bright princess compelled to marry some disagreeable foreign ddgnitary in order to keep the balance of political power in Europe, the ill-matched pair fighting out on a small scale that which would have <been an international contest, sometimes the husband having tha balance of power and sometimes the wife. Th« Question of Wages. Again, in this international comparison there is not a land whose wages and salaries are so large for the great mass of the people. In India four cents a day and find yourself is good wages; in Ireland, in some parts, eight cents a day for wages; In England, $1 a day good wages, vast populations not getting as much a s that; in other lands, 50 cents a day and 25 cents a day, clear on down t o starvation and squalor! Look a t the great populations coming out of the factories c£ other lands and accompany them t o their homes and see what privations the hard-working classes on the. other side of the sea suffer. The laboring classes in America are 10 per cent better off than those in any other country under the sun, 20 per cent, 40 per cent, 50 per cent. The toilers of 'hand and foot have better homes and better furnished. "How much wages do you get?" is a question I have asked in Calcutta, in St. Petersburg, in Berlin, in Stockholm, in London, in Paris, i n Auckland. N e w Zealand; in Sydney, Australia, in Samoa, in the Sandwich Islands, so I am not talking a n abstraction.. The stone masons and carpenters and plumbers, and mechanics and artisans o f all kinds in America have finer residences than the major* ity of the professional men l a Europe. a s M T V I .

The royal plate of S t James palace i s worth $10,000,000. There i s a host o f attendants, all o n salaries, some of them $6*000 a year, some $6,000 a year* Comptroller of the househoMv mistress of the robes, captain of gold stick, lieutenant of silver stick, clerk of the, powder c l o s e t pages of the back s t a i n , master of the horse, chief equerry, equerries i n ordinary,^ crown equerry, hereditary grand falconer, vice-oham-^ berlaln, clerk of the kitchen, grooms in waiting, lords in waiting, grooms of the court chamber, sergeant-at-arme, barge master and waterman, eight bed chamber women, eight ladies of the bedchamber, and s o on and s o on. All this i s only a type of the fabulous1 expense of foreign governments. -All this is paid out of the sweat and blood of the people. Are the people satisfied? However much the Germans like William, and Austria, likes Francis Joseph, audi England likes her glorio u s queen, these stupendous governmental expenses are built on a groan of dissatisfaction as wide a s Europe, If it were left t o the people <t2 England or Austria or Germany .qc' Russia whether these expenetra establishments should be kept up, d o y o u doubt what the vote would be? < Now, i s it not better that we b e overtaxed and the surplus be distributed all over the land than to have it fenilt up and piled up_insidfe the palaces? ' Question of Monopolies^ Again, the monopolistic oppression is less in America than anywhere else. The air is full of protest because great houses, great 'companies, great Individuals, are building such overtowering fortunes. Stephen Glrard and John Jacob Astor, stared at in their time for their august fortunes, would not now 'be pointed at in the streets Washington or Philadelphia o r New York a s anything remarkable. These vast fortunes for some imply pinchedness, of want for others. A growing protuberance on a man's head implies -iUness of the whole body.

Look at those great cathedrals, built at fabulous—oxponso and supported by ecclesiastical machinery, and sometimes in an audience room that would hold a thousand people twenty or thirty people gather for worship. The pope's income i s $8,000,000 a year. Cathedrals of statuary and braided arch and walls covered with masterpieces of Rubens and Raphael a n d Michael Angelo. Against all the walls dash seab of poverty and crime and filth and abomination. " Ireland today one vast monopolistic visitation. About 45,000,000 people in Great Britain, and y e t all the soil owned b y about 32,000. Statistics enough to make the earth tremble. Duke of Devonshire owning 96,000 acres in Derbyshire, Duke of Richmond owning 300,000 acres around Gordon castle. Marcus of Bredalbane going on a journey of 100 m i l e s } n a straight line, all on his own property. Duke of Sutherland has an estate wide a s Scotland, which dips into the sea on both sides. Unfortunate as we have it here, it i s a great deal worse there. While making t h e international comparison let "us look forward t o the time which will surely come when &\\ nations will have as great advantages as our own. As surely as the Bible is true the whole earth i s to be gardenized and set free. Even the climates will change and the heats b e cooled and the frigidity warmed.

"Pleaa* might I tee Mr. jorden for a minute?" she asked, the astonished maid who opened the door lust wide enough to" look out "Well, I never! yon don't know how he hates children, I guess," she said, opening the door wider. A big lump, which she tried to swallow, came up in Dorothy's throat. "Tea, I do, but may I just see him a minute? I won't bother him." "Well, I don't know what he'll eay, I'm sure," said the girl, as she led the way through the beautiful hall to a door at which she knocked.

It was only the third day before Christmas, when Dorothy, who was 4uat "half past six," went up stairs t o find her mother.

Old English Custom*. It was customary in former days, in Cornwall, England, for the people t o meet on Christmas eve at the bottom of the deepest mines and have a midnight mass. ' In some parts of Derbyshire the village choir assemble in the church on Christmas eve and there wait until midnight when they m proceed from bouse t o house, invariably accompanied by a keg of ale, singing "Christians, Awake!" During the week they again visit the principal houaea in the place, and having played and sang for the evening, and partaken of the Christmas cheer, are presented with a aum of money. In Chester and its neighborhood numerous singers parade the streets, and are hospitably entertained with meat and drink at the various houses where they call. The "ashton fagot" is burned in Devonshire. It is composed entirely of ash timber, the separate branches bound with ash bands and made a s large as can be admitted to the floor of the fireplace.

"God bless her brave little heart,'1 said he, as he bold Dorothy's flowers. The first joy of the Christmas tree was over, the presents were all distributed, and every one of the little Bertrams were sitting around admiring the candles and the clever trimming of the tree. "There goes the door bell again," said someone. "Do you think Santa Claus has come back?" asked Marjorie. ~ — It was a great disappointment to her when she aaw her mother shaking hands with Mr. Jorden. He looked rather sad, though he smiled at them all. There was a bright carnation in his buttonhole, the sight of which made Dorothy want to get behind someone. "How happy you look," said the visitor, sitting down. "I could^ see you through my side windows—I have often looked in upon you, and tonight I took the liberty of joining you for half an hour. Shall t intrude?" "Not at all,".said Dr. Bertram. "You are very welcome." Mr. Jorden drew Dorothy toward him and kissed her.

The cake is formally deposited on the fork of the tree* and the cider thrown upon the cake and tree.

"There is a bouse.ou our Hue that is haunted to the men who hrtve beou ou this run for a few years back. Oue of our men noticed a man's face at the window overlooking1 the road. Every time the train passed fpr three days. I believe, the engineer saw tfi1> race. 11 \\as a 1 vyfly.s.ilie same. -Then he told somebody else about it, and on investigation it was discovered that the man at tbe window was dead. ' He occupied the room alone. There was no one else in the bouse. He bad killed himself, and in a note found on his table it was written that the man was lonesome and that he had raised tne window just before^the act so that he might die in the noise of the city. That was all there was to the story. "Ever since that time every engineer and fireman on the line who was employed at that time turns his face away In passing that house.

Cecil Rhodes once fitted up a beautiful cemetery near Klmberley, but for some reason it remained untenanted. Seeing this, Mr. Rhodes offered a bonus to widow* who- would bring thejr husbands to be burled in his cemetery, but without avail. Eventually one poor woman allowed her husband to be buried there, and a handsome marble stone was erected over his grave. But even then the scheme bung fire. The Inhabitants passing the gates of the beautiful cemetery would look through the railings and see the one man lying there In solitary state and go away shaking their heads and thinking how lonely it must be. Mr, Rhodes got so exasperated that he increased the bonus until it was a large sum. Then the inhabitants gradually began to weaken, due after the other;' bringing their dead to the lonely cemetery, which became as popular as aucfr a place can properly be. :5'.>V .-•» ^. v * , i rA-~ A - V * " - . • I ''i\T-: ."•*£• /• _SJ Si S ^ 1 ¾ 1 L.

A Groeer/man at Moscow, Hillsdale Co., Hires Two Men to Sara lilt Store • a Oootents That He Might Get the Insurance—Other Items. 3E lease tlonal Developments la Arson TrJaL The trial of Cbas. W. Hewitt on a charge of procuring the burning of a store building and the contents of the same, owned by himself, has been in process in the circuit court at Hillsdale fqr the past 10 days and some sensational developments have resulted. The property was located at Moscow, Hillsdale county, where Hewitt was engaged in the grocery business on a small scale. The tire occurred on the night of Jan. 20, 1900. It was suspected at the time that it w a s of in cendiary origin and Hewitt himself made a show of soliciting the aid of the authorities in hunting down the firebugs and bringing them to justice. Matters ran along until last September, when two citizens of Lenawee county, who live just over the county line, began to leak badly, to their own and Hewitt's discomfiture. ' These two men are Henry and Will Marvin, father and son. The Marvins were soon arrested and the younger man confessed to burning the building, but charged Hewitt with hiring him to do it. He said his father was with him, and be* fore he applied the match they looted the store, taking a wagon load of stuff home with them. Plnffree on Capittl Punishment. Gov. Stanley, of Kansas, has received a letter from Gov. Pingree in response to a letter that he .sent to the governor of all states in which capital punishment has been abolished, in which the governor of Kansas inquired whether there is a tendency to mob law in those states. Pingree says: "No state which has a capital punishment law has any right to boast of intelligence of its people. It is a relic of barbarism. There has been little, if any, mob violence in the state of Michigan, but I do not think this has been so because of either the existence of a capital punishment law or the absence of it. Whether there is mob violence or not depends upon the intelligence and temper of the people. I think that the people of Michigan have been less liable to commit rash acts as a result of excitement than the people in the south, where the Negro question is such a serious and disturbing one. A number of cases have been brought to my own knowledge and 1 have issued pardons where the prisoners were sentenced to life imprisonment and it was afterward learned that they were innocent. Marsh's Pardon Held Vnllrt. The supreme court has, in a unanimous opinion written by Justice Moore, dismissed the appeal in the case of Arthur F. Marsh, thus holding the par- » don granted him by Gov. Pingree valid. ' The opinion says" that the important question in the case is whether there has been a conviction of the respondent within the meaning of the constitution, so that executive clemency may ."be invoked, the prosecution having urged that before the governor can exercise the pardoning power there must be a sentence of the court as well as conviction. It is the opinion of the court that Gen. Harsh was convicted when he asked for clemency, therefore the pardon is valid and the accused tnust pay the sum stipulated by the governor when he granted the pardon. Itrets a Poor Crc p La»t Season. The Wolverine Sugar Co., of Benton Harbor, finished grinding this year's crop of beets on the 19lh and closed down as soon as the sugar was turned o u t The output of the factory this season is less than that of last year, owing to the poor crop of beets which | were blighted by dry weather in August. The beets, while a poor crop in bulk, were also short in saccharine substance. The factory's offer of $5 per ton for beets next season, it is thought, will give them all the beets they can handle next year. w MICHIGAN N E W S I T E M S . t V There is six inches of ice in Lake St. Clair. •' • > Niles is to have free rural mail delivery.

The Filipino3 are organizing a new . , , , political party, but as yet have not o n an impracticable basis, that it is jiamed it. Boston was visited by a fire on the 18th that destroyed 8200,000 worth of property. John D. Rockefeller, on the 19th, gave the Chicago university another 81.500,000. just one chance for the bill, but it is a very remote one. When the bill came to the senate from the house it w a s not introduced in the accustomed manner, and it was upon this slight oversight t i a t Senator Helme saved the measure from ultimate defeat. This accomplished the bill was quickly sent to the committee on state affairs, where it will remain unless sufficient votes can be secured to get it out on the floor again, which is very doubtful. After disposing of the taxation bill, Senator At wood lost no time in introducing a concurrent adjournment resolution providing for no further business after 12 o'clock on Dec. 18, and fixing Thursday, Dec. 20 as the date of final adjournmeut. The 4th special session called by Gov. Pingree practically came to a close on the 20th, without anything being accomplished. At the morning session the house weakened and adopted the concurrent resolution sent ever by the senate fixing final adjournment for the 22d. For an hour the Pingreeites tried to. fight off the inevitable, hoping to stay the wiudup until the governor could get a reply from Senator McMillan which he could spring. They succeeded in tangling up matters for a time and beat the concurrent resolution- once, but later the vote w a s reconsidered and the resolution was finally adopted by a vote of 45 to 29. When the governors personal and special invitation to attend the banquet, came up on the 1 *h, Senator Helme promptly moved that the invitation be refused. Senator At wood wished the communication kept ont of the official journal, so he moved that it be referred back to the writer. Senator Ward was in favor of .summary action, saying that the invitation was insulting and intended to be so, and that the governor should be given to understand that while he might insult 1he courts with impurity, he could not offer the senate an insult without having it resented The invitation was resented by a vote of 2:J- to 2. The representative of an eastern banking house, who has been at work ever since the session commenced, reaped a harvest so far as-the house is concerned on the 18th,. whew Gov. Pingree sent in three messages recommending the enactment of laws legalizing the issuing of bonds by the cities Petoskey. Traverse City and Charlevoix, and bills to this effect were promptly passed. The senators think these matters should be left for the regular session, hence the measures may be smothered for the preseat. Rep. Wayne offered a resolution on the ?9th asking the governor for a special message recommending the submission of a proposed amendmeirt to the constitution relative so the holding of sessions of the legislature.. The proposed amendment provided that the regular sessions shall be held: as> at present, hut be limited to 100 days, and thai there be in each even yeay a session t o convene in September and be limited to 40 daj-s. The resolution was tabled. When t>he house convened on the' afternoon of the 19th "Pop" Goodell offered a resolution requiring Senators Burrows and McMillan to support the Grant oleomargarine bill, which has passed the lower house of congress. The resolution was opposed by Reps. McCollum and Chamberlain, but Reps. Colvin and Buskirk came to the rescue of "Pop,' and it was adopted by a.vote of 52 to 27. It can almost be put down as- a-n assured faet that Gov. Pingree will not have the pleasure of signing hi& name to any law enacted by the present legislature-. That is the conclusion! of the majority of the senate* audi, unless some unforeseen consideration, arises, that will be its conclusion to- the end By a vote of 41 to 12,. the house on the 18-th indefinitely postponed action on the senate, concurrent resolution, fixing final adjournment for the 20th. The session is a long way from being ended, but there is apparently no likelihood that anything valuable will be accomplished. The senate on the 19th again made an attempt of final adjournment. This time the date for the last day of business was fixed as the 20th, and the time for final adjournment was set for the 22<L That body then took a recess to await action ol the house. According to Senator Atwood, the leader of the opposition to Pingree's bill, the next legislature will pass an equal taxation measure. He stated on the 19 th that the people of the state could rely on this promise being carried out. By a vote of 17 to 5 the senate on the night of the 17th refused to grant Gov. Pingree the use of the senate for his banquet on the night of the 18th. Rep. Chamberlain on the 18th introduced a bill asking for legislation fo? the relief of the Chippewa Indiana i n Cheboygan county.

The basis forH the r e w congressional apportionment can be fixed at any fig- v ure that would he practical and still Michigan's number of congressional districts will remain unchanged. Chairman Hopkins of the committee and six other members recommend that the number of districts,, now 357, be not changed but that the ration be increased to one member for every 208,- 862 inhabitants. Eep. Burleigh, of Maine, submitted a report in favor of a house of a86 members. Rep. Crumpacker, of Indiana,, filed an independent report in favor of a house of 374 members. Nothing" short of a increase to 390 members would give Michigan - another member. A reduction of just one member in the present gross number would reduce Michigan's representation to 11. As the- number agreed upon will surely be between 357 and 386, the Michigan delegation has no reason to be particularly concerned about the bill. V , Agents of the American Federation of Labor are at work among senators to try and have considered the bill which passed the house last summer and which concern*, among other penal institutions, the Detroit house of correction, Jack son prison and Ionia reformatory. It seeks to accomplish what the labor organizations in Michigan have tried unsuccessfully to accomplish through the state legislature, that is that the three institutions named mviet label "prison made" the chairs, shirts and other articles manufactured by convicts. Senator McMillan, as chairman of the senate committee on District of Columbia affairs, has approved the plan for two principal railroads, the the Boltimore & Ohio and the Pennsylvania, to have their tracks elevated and do away with grade crossings. The idea is to jerk si>me*of the crooks in these two roads and have them close up certain streets and give up others to the city in return* The rivers and harbors committee has agreed that its bill shall not exceed 860.000,000, wi A about 820,000,000 for direct appropriations. A n appropriation of 8225,000 has been provisionally agreed on for,-a survey of the 14- foot canal project•&> connect the Mississippi and Chicago drainage canal.

Dorothy is up stairs, the servants are out; as soon as she finishes the sewing of a button on Johnnie's refractory trousers she will come down, •he says, and watch the old year out, being evidently well pleased over the prospect of a club, night of our own, a little "Home, Sweet Home" sort of an arrangement. k It seems that Johnnie is the only member of our family not a member of a club. Dorothy simply holds on to the lfttle shaver by the collar, tied to her apron strings he is, and I am glad of i t Can I ever forget the day when our THIS IS A COZY LITTLE DEN. neighborhood took on a sudden quiet? The question arose, where are those boys? Dorothy and I knew all about it, for were we not invited to become honorary members of thei? club, "The OUapodrida?" We helped to foot the bills and evinced an interest in the affairs of the club; we lent them ten cents to buy material to reseat an old worn-out chair; there was another item; twenty-five cents for lumber, etc., and last, but not least, and that which caused Dorothy much suffering, were sundry pieces of rope to be fur- „ nished with all the paraphernalia of a trapeze arrangement, preparatory to meanderings aloft, all of which caused a rush of blood to my head, as I thought of these venturesome boys, three of them at work daily, experimenting with the center of gravity, walking on their heads being the objective point apparently. We are happily rejoicing these days, however, in a more recent occupant of the family cradle, who so far walks feet downward after the fashion of mortals. As time goes on, the children's youthful exploits, with the accompanying worries of their elders, fade into oblivion, as the more serious aspect confronts us. The OUapodrida members of my family have taken unto themselves a few extra years; two of these aforesaid members are looking collegeward, and X seem to worry about them in a wonderful way quite unlike myself. The bread and butter question confronts me? What profession will be theirs? Are they sufficiently strong in purpose to resist this or that? The day will come when Dorothy and I cannot shield them or stand beneath them and the cold world; we won't be here to settle the little accounts or encounters, or watch the little cotillions they are going to have with the dwellers of this mundane sphere. Then comes the .question over again: "Well, old fellow, what's the matter now? Can't you let the boys alone, and let them fight It out just as you did?" Some truth in that, I answer. "I will wait until Dorothy comes and I'll ask her, just for curiosity, what •he thinks of my past, and the general outlook." In part I jtm going to turn over a new leaf. Here is a volume of Longfellow be* side me on the table; he is so human, j v u know, and I will close my eyes, such diet s i sipping'frappea, Russi&a tea* and chocolate to a respectable, cozy dinner with your George Augustus; and," (pausing for breath) "don't be angry; couldn't you leave out that tiresome, quarrelsome card party and await my return with unruffled nerves, for instance, meet me at the door just a s you used to do, little wife?" (growing a little more tender). open the book (a Utile game of chance, you see), avid on the page where my finger rests I "will try if by chance a word of comfort come to me, that would hit my case. I seem to have a case of the blues; probably staying away from the club on this convivial occasion Is not agreeing with me. "Shut your eyes, open the book," say 8 the little exhorter, that unseen individual. Presto—change—0, what meets my eye? Will it be sonia dire prophecy or—? Here It is under a y forefinger: "A Shadow." It reads: I said to myself if I were dead. What would befall these children? What would be Their fate, who are now looking up to me For help and furtherance? Their lives, I said, Would It be a volume wherein I have read . But the first chapters, and no longer see To read the rest of their dear history So full of beauty and so full of dread. Be comforted; the world is very old. And generations pass, as they have passed, A troop of shadows moving with the sun; Thousands of times has the old tale been told; The world belong to those who come the last, They will find hope and strength as we have done. Was ever answer *cnt to a mortal man more clearly? I think I'm sent ior; there's some- 'thing besides old Father Time after me, surely. Here is the very answer to my dismals as to those boys and their doings. But here comes Dorothy, singing, apparently in a very cheerful mood. "This is perfectly lovely, George Augustus. "Johnnie's trousers are all right for tomorrow, and I have been looking over my precious tin box, and I find such lovely bits of literature and all sorts; suppose we Took them over to* alght." Perhaps Dorothy noticed an unusual expression on my manly countenance, for she paused and said: "What are you thinking about? What hao this \-ld year been saying to you? Are you having a retrospective sort of revival meeting all by yourself?" "Only a few ideas have struck me," Dorothy. I rather like this den of mine, especially tonight, and one or two articles in these books here seem to have been writJan especially for me, r c^ict an uncomfortable little voice '^b been questioning me. A thought strikes me that we, you and I, have drifted apart rather more than I ever dreamed we could. There has been a sort of 'We fellows at the club' air and manner about me, that I really think now, as I sit here, has been a foolishness on my part that I shall endeavor to discontinue; a sort of desire to be 'in with the boys' and "Why, whatever can be the matter with you, George Augustus? It is only a case of too many clubs in the family, that is all; eaeily remedied, you know. If this is to be a Home club tonight, let us invoke the spirit of the New Year here, right under this roof; let us stand here, and with the right hand uplifted vow, that naught shall come between thee and me, George Augustus and Dorothy; we will reach that land of trust and confidence that requires no weapon, not even a club, to create or quell a disturbance." Dorothy is really eloquent "Bring down the tin box, Dorothy; "we are 'the OUapodrida club' (the tin box, Dorothy and I) in memory of those boys wLo are trying another | sort of trapeze swinging high or low with the wings of ambition, up to greater heights." By the way, Dorothy sketches and paints. I will give her a subject, earth, sky and water, the soft green turf^-the blue ethereal, the hazy mountain top, while the lazy lapping waves touch the eager feet of the climbers yt-t in the valley as they stand on the -shore twixt earth and sea, girded and armed for the steep ascent to the shrine on the distant heights.

"0, no," Dorothy replied, with something of a twinkle in her eyes; "but, then, you know, you might be more of a saint, if you tried, dear." "And perhaps, most noble and adorable (my temper rising) and twentieth century wife, if I should give up my Sunday evenings at the club, possibly^ you may be willing to sacrifice a few of those insufferable 'teas' and bring an appetite uncontamlnated with Good-bye, old year! We've journeyed on together many days, And now beheld the parting of our ways Is very near; With thoughts of mingled gladness and of dread, I see the winding way that I must tread " To Future Lands; For thee awaits the realm of shadows deep— The Silent Land of years that lie asleep With folded hands. Goed-bye, old year! A few more steps ere we forever part— A few more words that wake the throbbing heart To hope and fear; A farewell smile, a lingering clasp of hand. Ere thou shalt lie within the shadowland All silently; The while I haste a glad new year to greet, The while I journey on with memories sweet, Old year, of thee. .Good-bye, old year!

A dispatch from Cape Town, dated the 20th says: The situation here is Boers have Grave fears are entertained that Dutch sympathizers will join the rebellion. Although there is no fear as to the ultimate result, the lack of a sufficient number of mounted troops is felt by the British. The enormous waste of horses in South Africa was not fully appreciated until now. Martial law has been proclaimed in the following additional districts: Britstown, Victoria, West, Richmond, Hanover, Murraysburg, Graaf Rcinet, Aberdeen, Middleburg, Steynsburg, Craddock, Tarka and Molteno. It is reported that Gen. Knox has been forced to abandon the pursuit of Gen. Dewet owing to the situation created in Cape Colony by the Boers crossing the Orange river. It is said that 3,000 republicans have entered Cape Colony and a similar number have reached Philipstown. The report adds that Dewet with about 4,500 men is northeast of Ladybrand, and that an attack on Winburg is momentarily expected. According to the Lokal Anzeiger 50 Cape Colony Boers, now in Amsterdam with their families, have been granted permission to settle in German Southwest Africa, the German government having just assented to the purchase of lands by them in Damaraland and Great Namaquin Land. The Boers will leave Amsterdam Jan. 5. Gen. De Wet had G,O00 men and 18,- 000 horses when he captured De Wetsdorp, according to a gentleman who was imprisoned there. The Boer commander then declared that he was not going to surrender without a free pardon for all his men, including many Cape Dutch. The force of 6,000 is now divided iDto three sections. The invasion of Cape Colony is spreading. It is reported that the Boers have occupied Colesburg, south of Philippolis, and near the Orange River Colony frontier. The people at Cape town are much disturbed. A mixed force of 1,000 men were dispatched north on the night of the 19th. President Kr.uger arrived at Amsterdam on the 19th. He was met at the railroad station by the municipal and communal authorities. Speeches were exchanged in the royal waiting room. A bouquet was presented to Kruger, whose every appearance was a-signal for rounds of applause. Still the news keeps coming telling of the wanton cruelty of the German troops in China. It is reported that recently the German troops visited Lung-Ching and shot 60imperial troops who were engaged in suppressing boxers and also killing 30 other Chinese, including three converts. They took 200 prisoners, including 30 natives attached to the Anglican mission. In consequence of an appeal from the magistrates, however, the prisoners were liberated in return for the payment of 20,000 taels. This punitive expedition was in defiance of the understanding that no such measures should be taken.pending negotiations. The Germans are said to have looted the place.

He looked at the offending stocking^ this way and that •with growing ire; he pulled it, he pinched it, he turned it, he twi6ted it. he fingered it in every way In an agony of indecision. When every hope had deserted him. he stood oft and, reckless of discovery, puffed vigorously upon* his pipe. And then a bright idea came to his relief.

A P l » y « l o l n : i \ V l i n n e R e p u t a t i o n a s a C r i t i c W a s D l a « « e d . There's a physician in Baltimore who adores music. His taste, to be sure, runs rather to "Old Black Joe," "Suwannee River" and such classics, but still any sort of music will do, and he listens to it all ecstatically and with a properly intelligent look on his face. It was therefore believed that he had a fine taste for harmony, and his reputation as-a critic was established and grew apace as reputations will, good or bad. The other evening as his daughter approached the house in which this physician livtxi she heard the strains of "Home, Sweet Home," proceeding from the library. "Father's at it again." she said to herself softly. "1 wonder who h e has coerced into playing for him now?" A glance disclosed the fact that he had bribed three street musicians, two violinists and a harpist into giving him a private recital. They finished the air just as the young woman entered, and the physician turned to her with a beaming face. "That 'Nearer. My God. to Me,' is a beautiful thing. I s i r t T f n i e askel It was the first time he had committed himself on the subject of "tunes," and his glory began to diminish from that moment, for his daughter told the incident as what she considered an excellent joke. Now the worthy man says that he likos music solely as an incentive to thought and listens to It when he wishes to solve some knotty problem of artery or bones, just as those who suffer from insomnia go to church and listen to the sermon to. be put to sleep.—Baltimore News.

At first, however, the more dignifiid re,preseniative was chosen as more in keeping with the occasion.

It is oot generally known that Cinrinnatl bus within her confine* a half oosteu factories that manufacture' every day enough deadly poisous to annihilate the entire population of the city. These factories are carefully guarded from all intruders, uud eveu the employees have to be skilled in their work uud bo well aware- of the risk they take before admittance is granted. Some of the poisous are so deadly that inhaling tbe fumes that arise from their manufacture would menu certain death. This is especially tbe case with anhydrous acid, a» drug that Is never placed on the market iu its pure state, and even in the chemist's laboratory it is handled with all the care that would be given to a poisonous reptile. If the fumes of this acid should escape, tbe chemist would never live to tell the tale. Tbe man who discovered it was killed by inhaling Its fumes, and other men have met similar deaths. • Probably the most dangerous of tbe drugs manufactured here is the cyanide of potassium. Its fumes are said not to be poisonous, and one can work in tbe room where it is manufactured without fear, except that he must not touch it. The slightest quantity of the poison in its pure state would kill instantly if swallowed. The fumes arising from it have rather a pleasant odor, and It is said that it produces a witching effect upon tbe workmen. The finished poison looks like crystallized sugar, and as you gaze on it and smell the fascinating odor there is a strong temptation to* taste I t , The fascination is probably much like that which draws a man over a steep precipice. At any rate, the attraction to taste of the poison is so jvell recognized that a workman is never allowed to remain alone in the room where it is being manufactured. Nitric and sulphuric acids are poisons equally fearful in their results when once liberated. These poisons eat away and through almost anything, and they can only be kept In carboys. When Sone of these carboys Is broken, the factory is doomed. The acid spreads round and begins to eat into everything it touches and incidentally sets everything inflammable on fire. -To collect the acid or to pour anything over it to counteract its effects Is an impossibility. As it burns and spreads around its fumes become deadly in their effectrand firemennattempting to" put out the flames would suffer. The fumes do not kill at once, but if breathed for 24 hours they poison tbe system, and death ofttimes results. The fumes of corrosive sublimate are as deadly as almost any poison, and in factories where the drug 1B made the greatest care is used to prevent them from escaping. There are many other poisons made for commercial use that are only a little less powerful, but nearly all of them are diluted when placed on the market. Some of these are yellow prussiate of potash, nitrate of silver, acetate of lead and copper, ferrocyanlde of potash, white and red lead and many other poisons. By their being diluted the danger of using and handling is minimized. There is one factory in -Cincinnati that does a thriving business securing nitrate of silver from cast off photographers' stock and still another that makes the drug iu a crude way. The proprietor' of the latter establishment Is a native of Switzerland, and the garret of his house is his workshop. Some time ago he w a s overcome by the fumes from his crucibles and came near dying. He had met with a young German learning tbe trade, and the apprentice suddenly quit his job when he discovered that his skin was turning a bluish hue. The accidents that have resulted from handling this class of poisons are many. Several years ago a carboy of nitric acid was accidentally broken in a factory in Eastern avenue, and the acid began to have its way without opposition. It soon started the interior of the factory on fire, and it was eating its way into an adjoining room, where large quantities of other poisons were stored. Several workmen volunteered to put out the flames and to check the acid in Its deadly work. Several hours were occupied before they succeeded, and when matters seemed all right they returned home. Tbe next day all were sick, and one of the men died, tbe fumes of the acid having been inhaled and enough of the poison absorbed to cause death. — Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. i V e r r *£« Who hit fcmiile trouble, cmoion to They are the great Blood hud Nerve Medicine and Developer.

The lower ten are as yet mere, skeleton of girders and trusses. The larger blocks . of granite for these lower floors were not ready on time, so the builder decided to go ahead on the ones above. It is perfectly safe, yet the appearance of the structure is so unusual that it is a curiosity, even for Wall Street. CHAPTER XI.—(Continusd.) No-one ever knew what passed in that interview. Harvey briefly told his wife he had begged for forgiveness and gained it, but the old relations between Gladys and himself would never be renewed—she was through with the life of which he had been a part. When Helen threw herself In his arms in a passion of grief for having done him hurt While striving only for his benefit, he kissed her sadly. It was all a mistake, he said; he had been the more culpable of the two. Together they would take up life under the new conditions, never alluding to the errors of the past. He was very kind, very gentle; but there was that in .his manner and look which told her Harvey, the boy, was dead, to make way for the grave, almost s t e m man who henceforth walked by her side through life, affectionate and true, yet with the ineffable quality that tinges the humblest marriage with romance forever stricken from his love. Within a year after her departure Gladys was married to a man slightly her junior, whesa wealth doubled hers. Her beauty and vivacity made her the center of a wide social circle, and having been shut away from city pleasures so long she enjoyed them\ now with childlike enthusiasm. Engrossed in a bewildering happy present the past became to her a dream, and after the arrival of her first child; a half forgotten one. The house in Rockville was sold, "and long year^passed~before she again saw Harvey. In the careworn man with stooping shoulders she found it difficult to recognize her once handsome boy. He was oniy~~forty, but life had gone hard .with him. There were many mouths to feed at home, and all Helen's thrift could not make one dollar do more than the work of two.

And Harvey had been her boy as well as Gladys'. So all were in their way happy and content—all but one. It is hard for the covetous soul to eome near to fortune yet never grasp H; and even when better days had dawned, and want was forever set at bay, the bitter knowledge that she had doomed her husband to a struggle with poverty that robbed him of youth and hope and ambition was with Helen Atherton all the days of her life.

The horse at once gratified his desire by throwing him on to the tan, where he lay trembling in every limb, much to the diversion of a couple of rough riders who were standing by. They were quick to inform their respective squadrons, and, his former occupation being .known, he was promptly christened White Feather. In those dark days it was the joy of the more hardy recruits to take him aside solemnly and request the service of three-pence three farthings worth of white feathers. Any morfcai of down or fluff that might float iLtd the barracks was promptly captured and presented to him with due ceremonies by Trumpeter Pipes, the low comedian oj the regiment The older men forbore to join in with these somewhat tiring repetitions of a stale joke. They remembered their own experiences in the riding school and recognized that White Feather was a quiet and inoffensive fellow, devoid of the impudence and bad manners peculiar to recruits and respectful and helpful to his seniors.

He could crawl no more. "Itwill, for her cake!" He murmured between his clenched teeth, and, rising from the shelter of the rock, he faced the hail of death that pattered to the earth around him. As he walked into the open a faint cheer reached his ears from the British troops half a mile behind him. The Royal artillery backed him with a shrieking flight of shrapnel, which whistled for a moment overhead, then burst over the Boer lines a quarter of a mile away in a shower of bullets that for a moment quelled the storm around him. He reached the wounded man, lifted him on his back and returned step by step to where Trumpeter Pipes lay hidden.

The money was found in an old cupboard in the hovel wherein the deceased had lived for over half a century* Marie Leret was eighty-three Tears old, and was one of the most successful mendicants of the day.

That is a secret that belongs to the army alone. Suffice it to say that his comrades are proud of his name. He should never have entered the army at all, much less a hard riding cavalry regiment which had a reputation to sustain by a yearly tribute of broken necks and collar bones. . His proper vocation was that of a linen draper's assistant, and he had filled that occupation very satisfactory till one evil day be had fallen in love with a girl, a silly, shallow girl, at whom no practical man or boy would have taken a second look. He adored her, and she adored soldiers. In thefr walks abroad she would direct hisVteps toward the Horse guards or Wellington barracks, that she might gaze in admiration at the fine, strapping soldiers who were to be seen there, and every time she pinched his arm and exclaimed: "Oh, Jack, look at that lovely soldier!" bii heart gave him a pang at the thought that he was only a draper's assistant, with nothing in common with the military but the handling of red cloth! He was a dreamer by nature, and falling in love did not lessen his weakness in this direction. Dreaming is pardonable in a poet, but an unpardonable crime in a Unen draper's assistant, and as he stood at his counter ££3 mind was far away from his work. Instead of listening to the "Forward!" of the shopwalker he could only hear the short-finng word of command and* the blare of tbe bugles that sounded through bis dreams; wherefore it was not long before he came into conflict with his practical chief. A few sharp words passed. He threw np in three a position fo had taken six which had bean gadly retarded by the heavy, gas-laden atmosphere in which he had lived. His nerves acquired tone, and he learned to take a tumble now and then as a matter of course and to fire hia carbine without shutting his eyes and blanching at the explosion of the cartridge. "Blow me, if he isn't going to shape Into a man at last!" quoth the sergeant instructor. Then a great blow fell upon him. He received one morning a letter from the girl to tell him that she had given him up in Tavor of a shopwalker who had expectations of being set up in business by his father. She admitted that she had adored soldiers and that she had caused him to enter the army for her sake. But she had omitted to state that the soldiers she adored were soldiers who possessed the Queen's commission and who wore stars instead of a worsted stripe. If poor White Feather was a physical coward, he was a moral hero. There is no chance of a display of feeling in a barrack room so, like the Spartan boy of old, he hugged his trouble to him, slipping the aheap little engagement ring with which he had sealed his troth into his pocket without a sign beyond the twitching of his white lips. Then he lit his pipe with the letter, not out of contempt, but because there fs little privacy accorded in the correspondence that comes to the barrack room, and a private soldier Is not provided with a desk wherein to keep his faded flowers and other sentimental tokens of the past. The blow was a very heavy one, for White Feather was without ths worldly knowledge that should have told him long since that he had fixed his affections upon a vulgar, selfish and brainless flirt, and he still believed in her. For her sake he had learned to overcome his physical cowardice. He had dreamed of a possible commission ia the dim future and had rejoiced In the recently acquired promotion as a step toward her. For her sake, too, he received the news cheerfully when the word passed through the barracks that the regiment was ordered to South Africa to meet tbe Boers. He knew that he was by nature a coward, but for tbe memory of her he swore an oath to himself to do his duty without sparing himself tn the coming fight. • • ' 5 • » ' • .0 ,0 "Look 'err, old chap, we ain't going to can yon White Feather no more!"

One thrifty woman who had watched the vegetables and fruit rotting day by day at her grocer's, and which were a dead loss to him, proposed that they enter into an arrangement in the future whereby she should preserve and pickle his entire surplus, either for regular pay'or upon commission, in the latter case he furnishing the sugar and spices. Another woman, with sharp business instincts, a butcher's wife, made up soup stock, and found a ready sale for it to many overworked housekeepers. Still another, who knew but one thing thoroughly, and that was cookery, called every morning at. certain physicians offices and formed a list of families in which sickness prevailed. To these families she offered to come every day for an hour or so and prepare in their own homes mutton broth, beef extract, chicken jelly, panada, gruels, fruit and herb drinks, wine whey, custard, etc., furnishing her time and labor cheaper than the articles could be bought at restaurants or women's exchanges. Some women are specialists In one branch, such as handkerchief embroidering, lampshade making, fan painting, feather curling,- glove cleaning, and the like, or can make beautiful neck scarfs, or ! launder fine laces. Such can easily make their specialty pay, some by tha aid of friends, some by the patronaga of dealers in such goods, some by a house to house canvass made by themselves. A young girl in one of the larga eastern cities was recently puzzled by finding herself left almost helpless and homeless, with no talent in any one direction. There was but one thing of which she never tired, and that was of children, all of whom seemed to adore her; so this young girl went out at co much an hour to amuse sick and irritable children. Many a worn-out mother found her presence a most grateful repose. She was indefatigable in inventing new games and perfecting old ones, and her naturally retentive memory came also to her aid as a story-teller.

A Letter from the Executive Office of Oregon. The Governor of Oregon is an ar dent admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it continually in the house. In a recent letter to Dr, Hartman he says: State or Oregon, ' Executive Department, Salem, May 9, 1S98. The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio: Dear Sirs:—I have had occasion to use your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family for colds, and it proved to be an excellent remedy. I have not had occasion to use it for other ailments. Yourr verytruly, W-. a k - i o r d . Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only ab-' solute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and so forth. It will be noticed'that the Governor says he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for other ailments. The reason for this is, most' other ailments begin with a cold. Using Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments. This is exactly what every othej; family in the United States should do. Keep Pe>ru*na In the house. Use i t for coughs, colds, la grippe, and other climatic affections of winter, and there will be no other ailments in the house. Such families should provide themselves with a copy of Dr. Hartman's free book, entitled "Winter Catarrh." Address Dr. Hartman, Columbus, '0.

At other times the healthy subject was bled into a bowl and the blood was beaten to remove the fibrin before it was passed into the blood vessels of the patient. The procedure is a dangerous one. however, although many lives have been saved by it, and it has now been almost entirely abandoned, a much safer plan being used. It Is found that the blood when defibrinated is no longer a living fluid, and the corpuscles it contains serve no useful purpose when injeeted, but rather act as foreign matter which must be got rid of. Accordingly physicians now use distilled water in which a definite proportion of common salt and other chlorides have been dissolved. This solution is warmed and is injected slowly into a vein at the bend of the elbow, about a quart being used. Often it is not even necessary to pour the fluid into a vein, but simply to inject it through one or more hollow needles into the tissues beneath the skin of the abdomen or the thigh. This is done not only to .supply an equivalent for fluid lost in hemorrhage or cholera, but afto in certain diseases In which blood poisoning exists. In this latter case a large amount of fluid is injected slowly, and being taken up by the blood is almost immediately excreted through the kidneys, carrying with it .much of the poison which the blood was unable to rid itself of unaided. This operation has been felicitously called "blood washing," for this is what It really Is, and to tbe process humanity owes tbe saving of many lives. —Youth's CfunpanJon. ~ Witked Tfcwn Up.

Four well-known physi-: cians gave me up to die. In fact they' gave me only three' or four days at the longest to live. I had spent nearly! everything I had in the effort to savej my life, but seeing an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills, I scraped what' was nearly my last half dollar, sent to' the drug store and bought a box. I had! very little hope of anything ever doing me any good, as from what the four! doctors had told me, it was now a mat-* ter of hours with me. I commenced to| take the Pills, and from the very first; they helped me. I took in ail about forty boxes. I doubtless did not need! so many, but I wanted to make sure,- and after all, $20 is a small amount oft money to remove the sentence of death! and save one's life. I have since recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to—hundreds of people, and I have yet to hear of the first one that did not find them all that you claim for them. I can remember of two people to whom I had recommended Dodd's KIdne"2r"PTTli',"and who afterwards said to me that they received no benefit.

I wish I could think of words: strong enough to express to you my gratitude for what your Medicine has done for me. It is not often, I suppose, that a man who is staring death right in the face, is permitted to live and tell of the means which saved him, and as that is my position, my heart is overwhelmed with thankfulness to God for His mercy to me in permitting me to see the advertisement of Dodd's Kidney P d s , when it seemed that I was beyond all earthly- power to save,, that I cannot express my real feelings. : If anyone doubts the statement I have made*, they may write to me, and I will try* and prove to them that all If have said! in this letter is true, and1, more than true. There are hundreds of people in. Minneapolis who know all about my ease and the way Dodd'a Kidney Pills pulled me through, when I had been given up by the four doctors of Brlght's Disease and Diabetes, and had practically lost all hope. You are at liberty to publish this testimonial which I give you from the bottom ot my heart, and I sincerely wish that 1 could find the right words to express my feelings, of gratitude to you and to Dodd's Kidney Pills, tor my restoration to life and health.

A targe bouse in one of the most fashionable London squares; an upper room, furnished something between a study and * boudoir; a small fire bttcpln^ Ta the grate-^tavin spite of the April sunshine, the wind was in the east—and for sole occupant a young girl, whose age was 18, though the looked a little older, perhaps because she had cried till her eyes were hot and swollen, and her cheeks had lost their delicate coloring—a girl who was the daughter of one of the richest commoners-in England, and who yet was as unhappy as the poorest waif in London's streets. Beryl Lrndon had no mother. She could just recall a frail, delicate woman, who loved her very much, but who seemed too sad and sorrowful to show her affection. She had been a. tiny child when that mother was ^.ta^ea-'awJay^Iandiyet she had bean quite conscious that, save Tor leaving her, the tired woman was glad to go. •Her mother's love had been taken from Beryl full early, and no other had replaced it. Mr. Llndon placed his daughter in a private family at the seaside until she was 10 years old, when she was sent to a hoarding school in Brussels. Once a year he had called at the school, and had a brief, formal Inter*, view with his daughter in the principal's own sanctum; and 12 months ago he had removed Beryl from the select establishment, and brought her to his stately home In Elchester square. For one year they had lived together, father and. child, yet strangers in /heart and feeling; they drew no nearer to each other. Beryl knew perfectly that to the handsome, wellpreserved man of the world, still under 60, she was only an encumbrance. He took no trouble to conceal tbe raefc' and his -friends took little notice of the shy, frightened-looking girl they thought such a contrast to her fascinating father. She was not "out." It pleased Mr. Lindon to regard her as too young for society, so she had no chance of meeting people more congenial to her than her father's circle. She was terribly lonely, desperately unhappy;, but yet, after reading the letter which had come from Mr. Lindon that morning, it seemed to the girl she had never before known what trouble meant, and that if only things could be once more as they were yesterday she would be content. JHer iweakfast—had gone away HIT-" touched—all her meals were served upstairs in her father's absence from home—and she sat over the^fire, with a look of such pain on her face as was terrible to see in a girl of 18. Suddenly the door opened, and the housekeeper entered without the ceremony of knocking, unless, indeed, her knock had not penetrated to Beryl's dazed, stunned brain. Mrs. Markham was a kind, motherly woman, not a lady by birth, but well educated, and with more refinement of feeling than many of her superiors. She had been in Eustace Lindon's employ ever since he took the house in Elchester square 10 years before. "I came to speak to you, Miss Beryl," she said gentJy. "I had strange nows from Mr. Lindon this morning, and when Nancy came down and told me you'd not touched your breakfast, I thought perhaps he'd written to you, too." "Yes, Mrs. Markham. I can"t quite take it in, it seems too terrible." The housekeeper sat down opposite Beryl. She was quite as indignant as the girl could be. "You see, Miss Beryl, your papa's not an old man—47, I believe—and it*s natural he should tire of a lonely life. Perhaps his new wife win make things pleasanter for you. You've had but a dull time of it since you left school." "i shouldn't mind his marrying," said Beryl frankly—"in fact, I think I should be glad; but that he should choose that woman, should put her in my mother's place-Ht is terrible!" Mrs. Markham looked bewildered. "Do you mean that the lady Is any one we know, Miss Beryl? Mr. Lindon never mentioned her name to me. He only said the wedding would be at once, and he hoped to bring his wife home ou May 1." "He is going to marry Miss Maunders," said Beryl, almost apathetically. ' The housekeeper started. When Beryl Lindon first left school a very showy-looking woman was engaged as her maid-companion. Miss Maunders was supposed to walk with Beryl, look after her wardrobe, and make herself generally useful. From the first day of their meeting Beryl took antipathy to the woman. She felt that Miss Maunders was unworthy her trust and oonfldence, that she had none of the qualifications she professed; and the girt yearned to escape from the companionship she hated. At last, duly three month* ago, things come to a crisis, Miss Maunders^ whom the household suspected of a liking for stimulants, went into a more violent rage than usual, and actually forgot herself so far as to strike her employer's daughter. At that time Mr. Lindon was away, spending Christmas In the country. Beryl, half beside herself with indignation, appealed to the housekeeper. Mrs. Markham paid Miss Maunders a month's wages and dismissed her on the spot, and she departed, vowing vengeance against Beryl. And this was the person Mr. Lindon was to make his wife! The housekeeper could hardly credit it "Miss Beryl," said Mrs. Markham slowly, after a long pause, "I simply can't believe it! Are you sure you've made no mistake? Miss Maunders is no more of a lady than I am, or even one of the upper servants, and your papa's a gentleman through and thrpugh. It can't be true!" "You-hak better read his letter," said Beryl simply." "There seems no reason for doubting it." CHAPTER II. It was a very brief letter,* written on the thickest and creamiest of note paper, and barely covering tbe first paga. Few men, let us hope, could have written in such terms to their only child, especially to a motherless daughter. "Dear Beryl: I shall be married tomorrow to Miss Maunders, and I hope to return with my wife on May 1. You had better make up your mind to show proper respect and obedience to your .stepmother, whose authority over you will be complete." "It'B a cruel letter, Miss Beryl," said Mre. Markham, as she put it back in its envelope, "and may God forgive your father for writing it; but, my dear young lady, depend upon it, it's that woman's work." Beryl shivered. "Papa never cared for me," she said slowly. "Mrs. Markham, I have never said a word to any one, but I must now or my heart will break. I can never remember his kissing me, or seeming fond of me, even as a little thing." "Maybe he wanted a son, Miss Beryl; but he'd no right to visit his disappointment on you. There'll be great changes here, for there's not one of my servants will stay here and call Miss Maunders mistress." "And you will go, too?" "I wouldn't stay an hour after sfce came home; but, as it happens, Miss Beryl, rve_not_jmy_.choice^—Mr,- -Lindoh~ has'""sent me a check for £50 instead of notice, as he says his wife will prefer to be her own housekeeper. I've saved money in the 10 years I've , been here, and I don't think I shall take another situation. If I look round, I dare say I can buy the lease and good will of a small lodging house at the seaside reasonably, and that will seem more independent." Beryl put one thin hand appealingJy on the housekeeper's plump arm. "Mrs. Markham, I can't stay here, I'd rather starve! You know what that woman was before, when she was only a servant. What would she make my life like when she is mistress?" "My dear, it's av sorry business. Haven't you any relations you could go to for a bit, anybody who wornd take your part, and just tell Mr. Lindon that before you came back he must guarantee his new wife would treat you properly?" Beryl shook her head. "I don't think I have a relation in the w©r!d." "Well," confessed Mrs. Markham, "I've been here 10 years, and I've never heard your father mention a relation; but, yon see, Miss Beryl, there's the other side. Your mother must have had relations, and her family would be the best people to help you, because, naturally, they'd resent your papa's marriage as much as yon do." "Mamma had no relations," said Beryl. "I'll tell you how I know. The last thing I can remember of her was one day just before she died she begged papa to be kind to me. She said she had been an .orphan, and knew how sad it was." "BUt she might have had a brother or sister," persisted Mrs. Markham. "Miss Beryl, think quickly over your past life, and try to see if there isn't any one who'd be able to tell you." "But my past story is so short." said Beryl, *'it doesnt watot thinking over. I know we lived abroad for a year or two before my mother died. My little sister went first, and mother never got over her loss. I had a nurse who was very good to me. She could have told me all I want to knowj but papa sent her away directly after my mother's funeral. I think she went to America. "Then he took me to a family at Brighton. Doctor Burgess and his wife were not unkind to me; but they had children of their own, and I always felt like the outsider. I know I was quite glad to leave them mad go to school." "Brighton's not a ldng journey,'* said Mrs, M*jk*e^~-*I^i«4*h* -be worth while to go and see thtm." "I am sure they could tell me nothing. X stayed there till I was 10, and I know Mrs. Burgess told melons day I ought to be very fond 01 my father because he was the only relation 1 had in all the world. I think she had known my mother just a Httle. • x •.-..... They were both orphans, and brought up in the same school—a kind of charitable institution." Mrs. Markham felt in despair of finding any kindred for her young lady. There's many would say it was your duty to stay with your father and make the best of things," she went on gravely; "but when I know what that woman is I can't bear to think of you at her mercy." "If I went away, could my father force me to come back?" asked Beryl. "No. You are of an age when a girl may choose her own home; but if you leave him he can refuse to provide for you." For the first time that morning a look of hope came into Beryl's beautiful eyes. "Then I'll get a situation of some sort, and go to it before be comes home. That will be quite easy." Quite easy! The housekeeper's kindly heart ached for Her. She knew too well how hard it is for a girl with no special talents or qualifications to find a niche, and they had only three weeks. The time was all too short. "I don't want to encourage you to rebellion, Miss Beryl, and yet I can't bear to think of you at Miss Maunders' mercy. If you've quite made up your mind, my dear young lady, I'll do my best to help you find something." Hard as posts generally are to find, specially those worth having, it is often, comparatively easy to get into a situation at very low remuneration at the beginning of a school term.

Perhaps this explained Beryl's seeming success, for within a week of first answering advertisements she was engaged by Mrs. Tanner of Easthlll-on- Sea, as ^riglish teacher in her small* but select school in that rising watering- place. The remuneration was to be £5 a term, at which Mrs. Markham sniffed; but the teacher was to have the option of remaining during the holidays, and so would be at no expense for board and lodging. "I don't altogether like it," said Mrs. Markham, re-reading Mrs. Tanner's letter critically; "but, Miss Beryl, If only you stay a year, you'll beX^able to demand better terms in another situation, and I think you|d_ be happier-anywhere- than' here under Miss Maunders' tyranny." In'truth, that lady was now Mrs. Lindon; but both the housekeeper and Beryl continued to speak of her by her maiden name—Mrs. Markham because she grudged her erstwhile subordinate her rise in life, and Beryl because it was painful to her to give her mother's title to a woman she hated. Mrs. Markham came to see Beryl off, and had her luggage labelled for ±,asthill; then, when she had put the girl ^Into an empty third-class carriage, she lingered for a few last words. "Try and put up with things for tbe year, Miss Beryl, even if all's not as you would like. And if you're in trouble of any kind, my dear, just write to mc. My sister will send on your letters any time, and I'd be proud to help you." "Thank you." The tears were dimming the girl's sweet eyes as she put her head out of the carriage window and kissed the housekeeper warmly. "I shall be grateful to you as long as I live, Mrs. Markham. Without you I could never have managed to escape from Elchester square, and I think to have stayed there after she came would have killed me!" The bell sounded, the engine gave a shrill, unearthly sound, meant presumably for a whistle, and the trainr was off. Mrs. Markham did not turn away till she could no longer see the white handkerchief Beryl was waving; then there was a suspicious moisture in her eyes. "God help her, poor little thing, for it seems to me no one else can! It's true enough, as she says,-Mr. Lindon never loved her. and now he's married that wonia-n it's as like as not he'd be worse than ever. They say he has 30,000 a year Wd a beautiful country seat, yet his daughter is content to work hard for £5 a term. It doesn't seerr*. right, somehow." And it was not right; but Mrs. Markham did not know one fact which would have explained a good deal that ruzzled.her. Eustace Lindon had an ugly secret in his past, a dark blot upon his character he would^fain hide from all the world.. He did not admire Julia Maimers, and he had not the least desire to marry her; but men with a secret, who are leading a double life, have often to- pay dearly for the guarding of that secret. It happened that Julia Maunders knew a good +ml+t Lindon's, past life, and the pftoft*M- silence-was a wedding ring. »••'"•• « '•' tfk-te continued.)

Personal references to the deceased should be omitted. Services at the jgrave are declared to be unnecessary and in no case should the person who attended them be expected to stand with uncovered heads; The admission of curious people to view the dead before the funeral is especially deprecated. Finally a discontinuance of the custom of Wearing mourning is strongly recommeded as being "scarcely in harmony with the hope of gospel." These suggested reforms are clearly in the interest of goqdjenjje^ndjre^- A Monioe man besought his wife, he being but three years married, for the privilege of a night key. "Night key!"

Some of our funeral customs are relics of a superstitious an barbarous age are without excuse in an enlightened community. Chief among these is the senseless and extravagant outlay for flowers, coaches, funeral trappings aud other things often indulged in over people whose lives have been a struggle with poverty and pain. Lavish expenditure over the Sepulture of any person rich or poor, high or low has nothing to commend it hi reason or religion. Respect for the dead does not demand these things while proper regard for the living calls for their abolition.—Ex. S t o p t h e Couaju a n d w o r k s off t b e C o l d .

Again placing his hand on the lever, the wheels began to drag until they moved so lazily they hardly seemed to be moving at all. The propelling power consists of balls, no springs to be wound up and run down after the visitor left, no weights, nothing but the spheres flitting around in a promiscuously queer way to all appearances, each following the other in reality with an enchanting precision. \ A belt was shifted onto a pulley which set a circular saw in motion so fast that it seemed to be standing still.

Mr.- tbat wood you promised up-tne subject of funeral reform [will come very acceptable just now, so Governor Pingree's banquet iB over. But here is a real gem, and Bhows the way things are run at the White House, Washington, D. C. The following is the invitation sent by th* governor inviting tha,t body to attend his banquet. Read it over carefully and see whether Pingree has done any worse than the other fellows: To THE SENATE: Pardon me for not sending to your honorable body an invitation for my little spread tonight. Unfortunately the invitations have been delayed and I have' been unable to deliver them to'you personaly as yet, but will do so this afternoon. I tried to get the best there is, especially the wines. I attended one of the most elaborate* banquets given at the White House, less than a year ago. President Mc&inley had five glases at each plate, which were / ^ept full until near midnight. I can testify to the fact that it was the best wine' I ever drauk. I used all five of the glasses myself, and enjoyed them, in my endeavor to keep peace with the G. O. P. example. After those present had finished the feast they adjourned to the White House parlors to indulge in a fancy drink, which was called "pousse cafe." Being only a shoemaker, I had never tasted that kind of a drink before, and am not sure of the name. It was good. I also enjoyed the best cigarette I ever smoked. Of course being at the White House, I had to take. I will have some of them tonight. The only difference in the wine arrangement \& that I will have only four wines instead of five, as at the White House, one for each special session. Trusting that this will please you and that you will honor both yourself and myself with your presence this, evening, at the dinner, I am, Yours respectfully, H. S. PINGREE, Governor. P. S.—I know that our boss Senator McMillan, availed himsilf of the five White House glasses.

Doty to Present a Blo*a<*| *&**& Ins Appearance., This story is told in Denver of a man who was once a leading merchant there. lu the early days of the city he walked Its streets, out of work aud money. He was poorly clad, but neat and cleau. He sought employment from a prosperous grocer and ^aid he Was willing to do anything. The merchant at length sent him into hhs cellar to clean out a room so foully dirty that many a common laborer bad recused to enter It When the young man appeared in tho evening, be was as neat in liis appearance as he bad been in the morning. Of course thu merchant thought he had done little or nothing. But when be saw the cellar, clean and fresh, he said to the young man: { "You've not only shown that you are willing to work, but also that you have some respect for yourself. I guess I'll give you a job." This young man, who In a few years became the bead of the selfsame business, realized the important fact that* the worker is often scrutinized as closely as his work. It is a man's duty toward his fellow man to dress as well as he can afford to. Nowhere in nature does the poorly dressed man find any excuse for his lack. Even the lowest forms of animal and plant life are clothed in pleasing colors. Reptiles crawl in richly mottled skins; beasts of burden and birds of prey are clnd in fur and gay plumage. Trees blossom in wonderful foliage, and that most plebeian of vegetables, the onion, revels below the" ground in colors that artists seek to Imitate and above ground in a leafage and bloom odd and beautiful. Everywhere in nature beauty is combined with use. It remains for man, the highest and noblest specimen of the Creator's handiwork, to be the daub in the color scheme of the universe.- Weekly Bouquet. -*£"" • Kvorir WaojfcHaV.' ohasffmnle troublm, Qjaoioa to bar , Is weak, feeta ifrW, worn oat vr bM lost her NmbUioB, should take Koill'i Sea.

He possesses his* own studio in the Academy of Fine Arts 4n-Vienna; andV divides his time between the headquarters of the cavalry corps which be commands and his studio. The archduke has frequently exhibited his work anonymously, in order that it might stand on its merits' and not be favorably criticised because of his rank. According to a writer in the St. James Gazette, a part of the credit for the wonderful development of Japan in civilisation is due to the Empress Haruka. She married the emperor thirty years ago/ and, like him, is a strong supporter of western ideas. Ther emperor Is the 121st in his line, and the first who has given fcla wife a seat at his table and a voice in the national councils. She set the example in abandoning the customs of staining the teeth and shaving the- eyebrows. Diamonds have been found in considerable numbers and of very fine quality in the interior of British Guiana, on the Mazaruni River 250 miles above its Junction with the Essequibo. Mr. Moulton, our consul at Demerara, says that the London dealers to whom the stones have been forwarded consider them superior to South African diamonds and equal in quality to those of Brazil. The present diggings are situated in a tropical jungle five mile* from the river, and the region is not easily reached. The matrix from which the gems have become scattered is now the object of search. It is widely supposed that the disease called "appendicitis" was unknown to the medtcal profession until the last quarter of the present century. But an old London doctor, who writes upon the subject in the Lancet, says there is nothing new about it, except "the name and the treatment." The disease "was^welt described in the older books, and was then called "typhlitis." But its real character was rarely verified except by post-mortem examina-t tion, whereas modern surgery, with its anaesthetic and antiseptic aids, if summoned in time, is able to save nearly every patient who is not exhausted by age or otherwise depleted. Sir John Murray recently showed how remarkably the Black Sea differs from other seas and oceans. A surface current flows continuously from the Black Sea into the Mediterranean, and an under current from the Mediterranean into the Black Sea. The latter current is salt, and, being heavier than the fresh water above, it remains stagnant at the bottom. Being saturated with sulphuretted hydrogen, this water will not maintain life, and so the Black Sea contains no living inhabitants below the depth of about 100 fathoms. The deeper water when brought to the surface smells exactly like rotten eggs. ir*» ss iiijTiiiTHi » j i i ! i a » « f f » mm- M l * ^u>t;*)ii w « M i n i ;i-» POINTS THB WAY TO MPS QF W6EFUI.N388. • > ' - • • > • •! • •••••• ' ^ " » ' " i . , E i i t i Vitabtaa Like A»9ft* of Gold la B*»- ketSAC sur«r. >fs depfeclated and nailesr I made.a laughing stock, Raoks and tHriaoft^and whips and stowrccks and ax** of bahea*d*^i: did fhair worst, yet la^, heroes were mora, than^oon querors.

T ) In this discourse Br, Tahnage ahpwi an -open door' for any one who desires to' be useful and Illustrates how a ltttl* thing may decide one'e destiny. The text is Proverbs xxv., It (revised version), "A word fitly spoken la like apples of gold in baskets- of silver." A filigree (basket loaded with fruit is pit before, us in the text What is ordinarily translated "pictures" ought to be "baskets." . Here is a silver network basket containing ripe and golden apples, pippins or rennets. You know how such apples glow through the openings of a basket of silver network. Tou have seen such a basket of fruit on many a table. It whets the appetite as well as regales the vision, Solomon was evidently fond of apples, because he so often speaks of them\ While he writes in glowing terms of pomegranates and figs and grapes and mandrakes, he seems to find solace as well as luscipusness in apples, calling out for a supply of them when he says in*another place, "Comfort me with apples." Now you see the meaning of my text, "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in baskets of silver." You see the wise man eulogizes Just one word. Plenty of recognition has there been for great orations. Cicero's arraignment of Cataline, the philippics of Demosthenes, the five days' argument of Edmund Burke against Warren Hastings, Edward Irving's dls- ^ofF p^roolno*ng$e*d B JutMteer*a nce, bufttB 4^m^y^ ^t|e^xett her^he-saw-it by the roadstde^or One of the churches of Chester, Pa., has introduced what is a novelty there —a penny concert. These concerts are held in the church on each Friday evening, being chiefly designed for children. The church has always been crowded on these occasions, both little and big people attending in great numbers. They are charged 1 cent admission to an entertainment that is worth many times more, and which is wholesome and instructive. The smaller children are always given the center seats in front, the larger ones' the side seats. It is so distinctively an affair for children that the big people who attend have to content themselves with the back seats is there are any left. A recent number of The Railway Journal contains a story of a railway ticket which took a sudden journey on its own account As the north-bound train on the Colorado and Southern road passed one of the stations a passenger in a forward car raised a window, and in an instant his ticket was blown from his hands out of doors. The passenger naturally gave it up for extols the power of one word when it refers to "a word fitly spoken.", This may mean a single word or a small collection of words—something you can utter In one breath, something that you can compact into one sentence. "A word fitly spoken"—-an encouraging word, a kind word, a timely word, a sympathetic word, an appropriate word. I can pass right down the aisle of any church and find between pulpit and front door men whose temporal and eternal destinies have been decided by a word. Choosing- »n Occupation. I tell you what is a great crisis in every man's history. It is the time when he is.entering an occupation or ppoaari hy mp.ry In middle life, because they do not want any more rivals, and by some of the aged, because they fear being crowded off and their places being taken by younger men. Hear the often severe and unfair examinations of young lawyers by old lawyers, of young doctors by old doctors, of yoUng ministers by old ministers. Hear some of the old merchants talk about the young merchants. Trowels and hammers and scales often are jealous of new trowels and new hammers and new scales. Then it is so difficult to get introduced. How long a» time has many a physician had his sign out before he got a call for his services, and the attorney before he got a case! Who wants to risk the life of his family to a young physician who got his diploma only last spring and who may not know measles from scarlatina, or to risk the obtaining of a verdict for $20,000 to an attorney who only three years ago read the first page of Blackstone? The Need of Courage. There are so many men who have all the elements of usefulness and power except one—courage. If you can only under God give them that you give them everything. In illustrating that one word show them that every man that ever amounted to anything had terrific struggle. Show him what ships Decatur had to fight, and what a mountain Hannibal had to climb, and what a lame foot Walter Scott had to walk on, and that the greatest poet who ever lived—Milton—was blind, that one of the grandest musicians of all the ages—Beethoven—was deaf, and that Stewart, in some respects the greatest merchant that America ever saw, began in his small store, dining on bread and cheese behind the counter in a snatched interregnum between customers, he opening the store and closing it, sweeping it out with his own broom and being his own errand boy. Show them that within ten minutes' walk there are stores, shope, and factories, and homes where as brave deeds have been done as those of Leonldas at Thermopylae, as those of Horatius at the bridge, as that of Colin Camp-bell at Balaklava. Tell them what Napoleon said to his staff officer when that • WoNto of Comfort* :., k .• That word "courage" fitly *5oke» with compressed Ups and stout grip ol the fckud and an intelligent fiash of* the eye—well, the finest apples that ever thumped on the ground in an autumnal orchard and were placed in. the most beautiful basket pf silver network before keen appetites could not be more attractive. Furthermore, a comforting word fitly spoken is a beautiful thing. No one but God could give the inventory of sick beds and bereft homes and broken hearts. We ought not to let a day pass without a visit or a letter or a message or a prayer consolatory. Yon could call five minutes on your way to the factory, you could leave a half* hour earlier in the afternoon and fill a mission of solace. You could brighten a sickroom with one chysanthemum. You could send yqur carriage and give an afternoon airing to an invalid on a neighboring street. You could loan a book with some chapters most adapted to some particular misfortune. Go home today and make out a list vof things you can do that will show sympathetic thoughtfulness for*the hardly bestead. How many dark places you might illumine! How many tears you could stop, or, if already started, you could wipe away; How much like Jesus Christ you might get to be! So sympathetic was he with beggary, so helpful was he for the fallen, and so stirred was he at the sight of dropsy, epilepsy, paralysis and ophthalmia that sideratloi and lack of economy and alt manner df diaagreeablenejw drive their husband* tato djuurpation. The reason; at the eea beach, or at the mineral baths *of Bethesda, he offered relief. Cultivate genuine sympathy, Chrhrtlike sympathy. You cannot successfully dramatise it False sympathy Alexander Pope sketches in two lines! "Before her face her handkerchief she spread / To hide the flood of tears she did not shed." A Word of IVarnla*. So also is a word of* warning. A ship may sail out of harbor when the sea has not so much as a ripple, but what a foolhardy ship company would they be that made no provision for high winds and wrathful seas. However smoothly the voyage of life may ^oefrin"we vUl get rough- weather^l>efore lost, and was very much surprised when the baggagemaater handed it t o ' officer declared a certain military at him a little while later. It appears that when the ticket flew through the window a south-bound train was passing. The suction of that train, which was going at a rapid rate, drew the ticket along with it, and as it passed the rear end of the north-bound train St blew into the door of the smoking car. Then it ir|f iound by the bag- .wi. tempt to be impossible. "Impossible!" said the great commander. "Impossible is the adjective of fools." Show them also that what is true in worldly directions is more true in spiritual directions. Call the roll of prophets, apostles and martyrs and , private Christian from the time, the world tygan and ask them to mention one man or woman greatly good ox useiuTwho we harbor-on the other side, and we need ever and anon to have some one uttering In most decided tones 'the word "hsware." There are all the temptations to make this life everything and to forget that an inch of ground is larger as compared with the whole earth than this life as compared with our external existence. There are ajl the temptations of the wino cup and the demijohn, which have taken down as grand men as this or any other century has heard of There are all the temptations of pride and avarice and base indulgence and ungovernable temper. There « no word we all need oftener to hear than the word "beware." The trouble is that the warning word is apt to come too late. We allow our friends to be overcome in a fight with some evil habit before we sound an alarm. After a man is all on fire with evil haJbit your word of warning will have no more effect than would an address to a house on fire asking it to stop burning.no more use than a steam tug going out to help a ship after it has -sunk to the 'bottom"of the ocean. What use in word of warning to that inebriate whose wife was dying from wounds inflicted by his own hand? As he held the hand'of his dying wife he made this vow: "Mary, I will never tal:e another glass of strong drink until I take it from this hand which I now hold." In an awful way he kept the vow, for when the wife was in her coffin he filled a glass with brandy, put the glass into the dead hand, then took the glass out of the hand, and ^drank the liquid. Too late does any warning come to such an one; But many a man now high up in usefulness and honor was stopped on the wrong road by a kindly hand put upon the shoulder and a word fitly spoken. Ah, yes,, fitly spoken—that is, at the right time,' With the right accentuation, and the right emphasis. MDe»k with Patience. There must be no impatience, in the warning we give others. We must realize that but for the kindness of God to us we would have been in the same rapids. That man going* wrong may be struggling with a tide of evtl inherited from father and grandfather and great-grandfater. * The present temptation may be the accumulated force of generations and centuries. "No," you say, "his father was a good man. t knew him." But did you know his grandfather? Evil habit is apt to skip one »n*ragon, « fact reeognl* ed in the'T*b ' Comniandments, whien spes*vof the tW^knd fowgtk *m* * ss SB Or the man astray may have an happy home, and, that is enough wreck any one. *We often speak of men wno^dsstror their kestesi-but de not say koything abou* thefactthnt there are^thousan da of wives in America who by petulance and fretting and tnfebn* ..- J>e*'t4Ut *o««*prel Q* VQIftSrlCASB.

I know inen jrhd are, thirty* year martyrs in the fact that they arm awfully niarried. That; marriage w«s not made in heaven. Without .asking divine guidance they entered into an alliance which ought never to hays been made. That is what is the matter with many men you and I know. They may be very brava and heroic and say nothing about it, but all.the neighbors know. Now,.if the man going wrong has such domestic misfortune, be very lenient and excusatory in your word/of warning. The difference between you and him may be that yon would have gone down faster than he ingoing down if you had the same kind of conjugal wretchedness. Art of Doing Good. In mentioning fine arts people are apt to speak of music and painting and sculpture and architecture, but they, forget to mention the finest of all the fine arts—the art of doing good, the art fit helping others, the art of saving men. An art to be studied as you study music, for it is music in the fact that it drives out moral discord and substitutes eternal harmony; an art to be studied like sculpture, for it is sculpture in the<|act that it builds a man, not in the cold statue, but in immortal shape, that wlty last long after all pent el lean marble has crumbled; an art be studied as you study architecture, for it Is architecture in the fact that it builds for him a house of God, eternal in the heavens, but an art that we cannot fully learn unless God helps us. Otherwise saved by gvace divine, we can go forth to save others, and with a tenderness and compassion and a pity tnat we could not oth erwlae exercise we can pronounce the warning word with magnificent result. The Lord said to the prophet Amos, "Amos, what seest thou?" And he answered, "A basket of summer fruit" But I do not think Amos saw in that basket *of summer fruit anything more invltln? and luscious than many a saved man has seen in the warning word of some hearty, common sense Christian adviser, for a word fitly spoken is "like apples of gold inJaskets of slLver." - So also is a word of invitation potent and beautiful. Who cap describe the drawing power of that word, so small and yet so tremendous, "Come." It is a short word, but its influence io as long as eternity. Not a sesquipedalian word, spreading its energy ov*»r many syllables, but monosyllabic. Whether calling in wrong direction or right direction, many have found it irresistible. That one word has filled all the places of dissipation and dissoluteness. It is responsible for the abominations that curse the earth. Inquire at the door of persons what brought the offender there, and at the door of almshouses what brought the pauper there, and at the door of the lost world what was the cause of the incarcers tion, an,d if the inmates speak the truth they will say, "The word Come!' brought us here." Come and drink. Come and gamble. Come and sin. Come and die. Pronounce that word with one kind of inflection, and you can hear in it the tolling of all the bells of conflagration and woe. The chief baker in prison in Pharaoh's time saw in dream something quite different from apples of gold in baskets of silver, for he said to Joseph, "I also was in a dream, and, behold, r had three white baskets on my head, and in the, uppermost basket there was all manner of baked meats for Pharaoh, and the birds did eat them out of the baskets upon my head." Joseph interpreted the dream and said it meant that the chief baker should be beheaded and the birds would eat his flesh. So many a man has in his own bad habits omonB of evil that peck at him and foretell doors and death. But oh, the power of that word "Come" when aright uttered! We do well when we send young men into schools and colleges and theological seminaries and by nine years of instruction and xlrill hope to prepare them to sound aright that sweet and enrapturing and heaven descended, word "Come." ^ The gospel we believe in is a gospel of "Come!" Tnat word speak all the churches. That word is now building thrones for conquerors, and, burnished coronets for kings and queens. That word is to sound so clearly and impressively and divinely that the day is advancing when all nations shall respond, "We cornel" "We come!"

There were several casualties, it is said, and the remainder of the force was captured. Gen. Kitchener 'has left Naauwpoort and gone northwasds. The rapid concentration of troop* in the disturbed districts through the personal energy of Gen. Kitchener has allayed the local uneasiness. • Lord Kitchener's dispatches, breathing a confidence hardly justified by their contents, are^ almost the only available news from tHe-seatoJPhostilities in South Africa; but ""telegrams from Cape Town depict tha. situation in anything but roseate hues. Without believing the assertion of the Transvaal agency in Brussels that 6,000 Boers have invaded Cape Colony, it is quite evident that the invasion was a serious and well planned affair. . A dispatch from London dated the 30th says that 1,600 Dutch residents have joined the Boers in the Philipstown district alone. Energetic measures have been taken to stem the invasion, but there is unquestionably danger that parties of Boers will get through into parts of the colony and gradually raise the whole Cape into rebellion.

Here it forms a cell by turning round and round and changes to the pupal stage. Late In the fall, from the last of October to the time when the ground becomes frozen, the adults emerge and lay their eggs on the branches of the trees. Many of the moths do not emerge in the fall, but remain in the ground till spring. When adult the two sexes differ greatly in appearance. The male is a pretty moth, with ash gray front wings marked by three transverse darker lines and hind wings of silvery gray. The female, on the other hand, is not provided with wings, but has to crawl wherever she goes. She Is somewhat more robust than the male and ashen gray in color marked w i t h black.

The eompany was playing 'Julius Gaesar,' and at the last moment It was found that the property man had failed to send up the regular throne chair used to the sen* ate scene, and an old rustic chair was hastily procured from the left of the theater and, after being covered with draping, was pressed Into service. In the midst of the scene a large Wasps' nest was discovered attached7to the chair,.and Its inhabitants, becoming Indignant at the disturbance they had suffered, began to swarm about the stage, seeking revenge upon the Bomans in their low necked, and short sleeved dresses. The wasps seemed to be particularly offended with Csasav and it is doubtful if Caesar's death scene was ever acted with more feeling, for at the moment he was being pierced by the conspirators* daggers the wasps were most industrious i» their work.

To.accomplish this end various devices have been tried, such as banding the tree with paper and on this spreading printers' ink or caterpillar lime or any thing sticky enough to prevent the caterpillars from crawling up. Perhaps the best band is made of cotton batting. A strip of this Is wound around a tree trunk and fastened securely by a string at or below the middle. The upper end is now turned down, forming a loose, fluffy mass, in which the insects get entangled and die. This method has one disadvantage. Jhe bands have to be kept on from the last of October until spring is well advanced and must be renewed after rains or when the cotton loses its fluffy nature. As the worms feed upon apple, elm, cherry and some other trees precautions must be taken to prevent them from breeding on these trees and again infesting the fruit trees. The best method of overcoming these pests, however. Is by spraying. They readily yield to a spray of one of the arsenltes (see chapter on Insecticides), which should be applied early as soon as any worms are seen, even before blooming, but never during the period of bloom. It may be necessary to repeat the spraying, but this method 1s by far -the cheapest and most satisfactory. presidential electlon7~he~said, "but r* member, young man, lightning nevei strikes In the same place twice.'

The eating .of "high" game is undoubtedly attended with risks, and th« poisonous effects are probably due Ui the toxins produced in the earlier stages of the putrefactive process. The advantage, of course, of hanging game ie-^bat-the flesh becomes tender ami decidedly more digestible than wheu it is quite fresh. The ripening proc~ essr huwever, may mean tho clnbora tlon of toxins. It has been stated that the production of the characteristic flavors of game is related directly to the amount of sulphuretted hydrogen or sulphur alcohol set free, but It is rather repulsive to think that the delicate flavor of game Is dependent upon that invariable product of decomposition of rotten eggs—sulphureted hydrogen. The smell evolved during cooking of "high** game is even more disgusting.

It w i l l be remembered that he took a trip to"Veneauela about four years ago to investigate asphalt in that country, and a company of Detroiters was formed to g o into the business, but the deal fell through. B H not Increased Tax** on Farms. State Tax Commissioner Oak man advances figures to show that the work • of the commission has not resulted in an increase of taxation for farm prop- *<jrty, as has been claimed. He says t h a t the increase in real estate througho u t the state is more than 1180,000,000, and.of this increase about $44,000,000 comes from the cities and $73,000,000 from the mines. As for personal prop- «Btjr, the increase in assessments is abottt $170,060,000, of which over $90,- 000,000 comes from the cities and $11,- 000,000 from the mines. There are over $& villages in the state, and they, too, •come in for a large share of the increased burden as assessment, as distinguished from farm properties. Found Daad In Bed. Bishop Ninde, the beloved head of the M E. church in Detroit, was discovered dead in bed on the morning of t h e 3d. The bishop retired about « l g b t o'clock on the previous evening and in the morning at the customary jtime his son George went to call him, a n d found him as though still sleeping. H e left him, but when later in the morning the bishop did not appear, Mrs. Ninde went to call hira. Finding .Inlm, as she thought still sleebing, she tried to rouse him, and failing, called t o her son, who discovered that his father was cold. Dr. Olin, a few minutes later, said that he had been dead several hours. and organized by Johnson, of Ann ' 0»me Warden'* Monthly Beport. txame Warden Morse reports a very ?heavy business for December, and the arrest of a large number of poachers. Jk total of 305 complaints were made, atfd there were 132 arrests, 100 being f o r the violations of the game laws and .$3 for violations of the fish laws. These resulted in 94 convictions and one acquittal, the balance of the cases still Ipettding. A total of $l,l.r>7.-34 in fines .and costs were collected, this being time largest sum for any one month in the.history of the department.

Death has been expected for several days. The eight criminal cases growing out of the grand jury investigation one year ago, have been continued over the term by Judge Wiest Whether any of them will be tried at the January term depends largely on the attitude of the legislature in the matter of reimbursing the county tot the expense that has already been incurred The Tivoli brewery in Detroit was the scene of a daring robbery on the morning of the 3d. Six masked men entered the place, seized the night watchman, Fred Rutz, bound and gagged him securely and piled malt bags over him. They then broke into the office and blew open the safe and looted it of over $1,000. While a force of men were repairing an old warehouse at Jackson on the 5th, the building collapsed and five workmen were buried in the ruins. Four of the men were not seriously injured, but Geo. M.

Much damage was done by the breaking away of the mill dam at Battle Creek on Dec. 30. Great volumes of v/uter poured down upon the south sides of the city on the low lands, flooding many dwellings. Ten manufacturing institutions were, without power the following day and had to close down. The electric light plant was.also out of service. It has been 20 years since there was such a Hood at Battle Creek, s Wm. Kreibel, a farmer, and wife j were instantly ki!\-.:I. on tho 2d by the noon train on t h e ^ e r e Marquette Co.'s tracks at Grand Ledge.

The following are the officers elected: Senate—Senator Loomis, president pro tern; E. V. Chitson, secretary; Moses Parshelsky, of Detroit, sergeant-at*arms; John Hill, of Genesee, first assistant sergeant-atarms; Edwin R. Wilcox, of Allegan, second assistant House—Rep. John J. Carton, of Flint, speaker; Rep, S. T. Handy, of Crystall Falls, speaker pro tern; L. M. Miller, clerk; John Torrey, Detroit, sergeant-at-arms. C. N. Willis, of Allegan, had no opposition for postmaster of the legislature. Military appointments have been announced as follows: Archie Achard, of Saginaw, detailed to the quartermaster- general's office; Capt A. M. Clark, of Detroit, clerk in the adjutant-general's office; Chas. A. Carroll, of Ionia, storekeeper in the quartermaster-general's office Clark, Tobin, Bennett and Carroll are G. A. R. men. Other appointments made are: Geo. H. Turner, of Coldwater, assistant adjutant-general; Henry M.

Pingree performed his last officially act oh the 3d when b e - s e n t to the senate a big batch of recess appointments, which have to be confirmed.

In order to stir things up. a member of the Wayne delegation intends to introduce a bill in the legislature next week providing for the removal of the seat of the state's capital to Detroit lie expects that it will mi?et an early death, but the bill will serve to agitate^ the matter. Politicians generally would welcome the change, though they recognize that it will never be effected until Detroit agrees to spend sufficient money to erect a suitable building. Several bills are being prepared to increase the sal aries of various officials. The salary -.)1 the mayor of Detroit may be fixed at $6,000, and judge of probate changed form $5,000 to $6,000. Something will also probably be done towards increasing the salary of the chief executive o* the state, who now gets but $4,000 a year, and some members of the legislature think the office should command $10,000. Gov. Bliss has appointed Burrell Gould, of Saginaw, to succeed John Townsend as clerk in the executive office, and Archie Oakes, of Coopersville, messenger in the executive office during the sessions of the legislature, in accordance with a resolution adopted b y the house. At the afternoon session on the 3d, the senate passed the Charlevoix bridge bonding billT which passed the house in the forenoon, and which failed to pass the last legislature. It is unusual to pass a bill so early in the session. Gov. Bliss has announced the appointment of Tom A Hanna, publisher of the Iron Mountain Press, as commissioner of mineral statistics to succeed JameB Russell, of Marquette. The salary is $2,500 a year, Levi C. Smith has been appointed county agent of the state board of corrections and charities for Allegan county. J. W. Tobin, of Brighton, has been appointed state armorer. :" Members of the Kent and Wayne house delegations are sore o n ex- Speaker Adams. They say he tried to throw the Kent boys on the fight for sergeant-at-arms. Senator Atwood's Opinion. There is considerable speculation as .to whether the new legislature will seriously attempt to pass an equal tax bill, some of the politicians claiming that Senator McMillan's plan to have a commission appointed to investigate the entire taxation question may be adopted, instead. However, Senator Atwood on the 1st, said: "My opinion is that some sort of a tax measure will be passed at thin winter's session." Colorado was visitad by a blizzard on the 29th and 30th.

Pingree s exaugural message was delivered to both houses of t h e legislature at noon on the 3d. Following are a few extracts taken from the same with comments: "I do not claim to be perfect," said Mr. Pingree to them, "but I do claim to have the back-bone to speak out as to what I think is my duty and yours. There are questions before us which require conscientious study. I have studied them for the last four years regardless of what conspiracies there might be against me, political, judicial or any other, including t h e press. To be governor is a high honor but a very expensive luxury. I can truthfully say I have had to spend $40,000 of my own hard-earned money. I never received a bribe from our best citizens and I fcavehad to spend $10,000 a year to keep pace with the times and do the work. It is up to you to see that an appropriation is made for the governor to pay bi» honest bills. **Th« governor can't go out of town with bis staff without paying their bills. Railroad travel 1B expensive at three cents a mile. I could have carried my family and my staff all over the United States if I consented to allow the railroads and other corporations to rop* this state." riugiee showed h o w other states pay their governors enough to meet expenses and commented1 bitterly on the criticisms of his buying a few postage •stamps. \ Taking up the question of pardons and paroles, he said there are twice as many men who should be released rotting in .Michigan jails as he had released. The pardon board is the biggist farce of any state commission, he said. He then waded into his big message, and a number of senators got out their newspapers. The e^c-govemor stood it for a time but before long he stopped the reading and said deliberately: "The distinguished senators might have the courtesy to postpone t h e reading—of—their newspaper&rr There is a few things in this message they ought to listen to." The governor said that if t h e young man on the bench in Ingham county thinks he, Pingree, is in contempt of his court alone he is mistaken for he holds in contempt dozens of cowrts in this state. He Bays they violate the laws themselves and call it justice. "I leave it to you," said he, whether these gentlemen should be allowed to* sit on the bench or n o t I t is up to yownow." He suggest that changes be made in the law governing the terra to be given a man convicted of murder in the second degree. In another extra be- takes up the Ingham county trials audi gives the people concerned a few rape* He apologizes, to the people for not removing Prosecuting Attorney TUttle, as he knows "he is a thief, and deceiver and a briber." These a m his exact words: "I realize that it was my duty and that I had the authority to> semove this man, but I did not do so because the state of my health was such, that I could not explain to the people as I should the reason for my actions, and I knew the prejudiced press wooid not do so." He then said that the Ingham county grand jury w a s a disgpace to the state; that grand juries.are a relic of the dark ages and very few states allow them. Two members of the jury, he states, offered to report everything that was said before the morning session of court for $1,000. He got it through a detective1 for $400. Honest men would be shocked and disgusted if they knew all the details of the "conspiracy," he adds. As to the contempt case, Pingree quotes an alleged statement by W test's predecessor to the effect that 4 i the governor was an old bald-headed .*t The contempt proceedings were started/ he argues, because they were afraid he was not y e t politically dead. Pingree then accounted for his not staying all the time in Lansing by telling an amusing story of the accommodations in the two leading hotels. M M - — • — Amor Threataned With Famine.

The officials of the secret service of the treasury department, under tbe direction of Chief Wilkie, made a number of highly important arrest* I n New York city on the 5th. For a t least two months the secret service peop e have been at work to discover t x • makers of a large number of all silv tr counterfeit coins, mostly quarters and halves, which were being fr>jly circulated in New York.

" Jr*ofefty presses harder on a man's jMjide generally than pin a woman's, perkapa because most women, care more, for persona than for thing*; and w|4le^ those near and dear to them arfivVell and happy, the pin prick* of haying to go without many things Uvair neighbors have are not so keenly jfejt, while, to a man each is a mortification. , Harold Dynevor was a good gon, and a brave man; but poverty tried him sorely, and there was a constant chafing at the injustice of circumstances which made his life harder than, it might have been, but which those who knew his story thought only natural. Harold was a gentleman farmer. He worked quite as hard as many farmers w^o did not own the prefix; but he was the last male representative' of a good old county family, who had been known- in Sussex for many generations. He. was popular wherever he went, his mother was devoted to him, h|s pretty sister, Kitty, looked up to him with fervent admiration; but Harold Dynevor could not be called a happy man. He had inherited a grievance, and the recollection of it marred his content. "You're tired out, Harold," said Kitty gently. "I'm sure you work as hard as any of your own men. Sit down in your armchair, and I'll go and hurry tea." "All right, dear," he said> gratefully. "It may do me good, for I've a splitting headache." Mrs. Dynevor waited till her daugh ter.wa8-outof hearing,4hen-she~asked—sound healthaodoubt he thought anxiously: "Is there anything wrong, Harold? You were going in to Marton; did you see Mr. Proctor?" "I saw him, mother, and got a receipt in full. There's bad news. I meant to keep it from you, but I can see I've betrayed there's something wrong, so I'd better tell you the truth, for fear you think it worse than it is." "You don't mean that the mortgagee wants to foreclose, Harold?" Poor lady! that was the bugbear of her life. Uplands, the land which her son farmed, was "her very own. It had been her wedding portion, and the home of~her^ married Tlffr WfienTwad seasons came, and expenses multiplied, with her full consent her husband raised a mortgage on the farm. They had thought lightly of it then —a few good harvests would soon enable them to pay off the debt; but it had never been paid off In all those years. It hung like an incubus about them, and Mrs. Dynevor's one dread was that some- day the mortgagee would foreclose, and, if they could not find the £5,000 due to him, they would have to leave their beloved home. "No, mother," said Harold quietly, "it's not so bad as that; but you will like the news as little as I do. It seems Mr. King has been settling his affairs, and he has transferred the mortgagejm the Uplands to some one else. Proctor told me the Interest was still to be paid to him, so we shall have no personal dealings with our new creditor." 'Then I don't see that it matters," said Mrs. Dynevor. "Your dear father always said Mr. King was a very honest man. Do you mean that you have heard a bad account of the new mortgagee?** "He is a man we both have cause to fear and dislike, mother—Eustace Lindon?" Mrs. Dynevor had grown white even to her lips—nothing could 'have ter-. rifled her more; but she was a brave woman, and she knew, besides, where help and strength were to be found!' One silent prayer to heaven, and she answered calmly: "There Is only one thing for It, Harold— we must raise the £5.000 and pay off the mortgage. To be at that man's mercy is more than I can hear!" "1 don-t see how we're to do it." •'said Harold, gloomily. "There's no money In the bank, and we must spend a good sum on the farm this year, for everything wants renewing. The blow couldn't have come at a worse time." "t wonder what his object is?" said Mrs. Dynevor quickly. "He has never one* been hear this place since ho left it with your poor Aunt Nina just after their wedding. Not a year after her death he let the Manor to General Craven for fourteen years, and, except pocketing the money from the estate. he has taken not the least interest in the property since." "Proctor says he has married again, and thinks he means to settle at the Minor. The general's lease expires tear, and he has refused to renew it" !!Ithe means to live here,' of course b*#0 *een said tfc.havdv Wrong**Me Dynevors, yet every one for miles around Dyaeww Manor regardeeVhim as their despoUer. \ f t w a e .«i fad Htji©;; story, * * > e l ! known that every villager could have repeated it. When Mrs. Dynevor married and settled at the Uplands, her husband had an elder brother, Frank, who was 'squire of. Dene, and the largest land owner for miles round. Frank Dynevor was devoted to the young couple at the Uplands. A good deal older than his brother, Charles, and a very studious, reserved man, he had reached the age of 40 without marrying. People were beginning to look on him as a confirmed bachelor, and to regard the little boy at the farm as the heir of the Manor, when, before Harold was 5 years old, his uncle suddenly returned from a summer holiday with a wife of 18. There was not the least mystery about his young wife's antecedents. She was an officer's daughter, and had been brought up in an orphan asylum, which found her a situation as soon as she was old enough. She had been in it just six months when Mr. Dynevor came on a visit to her employer, and converted their little nursery governess into the mistress of the Manor. If the family at the "Uplands were disappointed, they made no sign, and welcomed the bride warmly. Frank Dynevor told his brother he meant to settle a small fortune on little Harold, "in case farming failed;" but he was not a businesslike man, and, being in. there was no hurry, and he might well wait till his nephew was out of the nursery. The baby who arrived at the Manor within a year of the wedding was a girl. She was 2 years old when her father took it into his head to go out to Australia to hunt up some information for a book he was writing. Nina dreaded the sea, so he left her and her little girl at home. From that voyage he never returned. He died at sea. And Mr. Eustace Lindon, a fellow passenger, who had been with him a great deal at the last, brought the news to the poor little widow at East hill. he would want, to get rid .of us first," said vMrs. Dynevor quietly, "for men nevet like the near presence of those * Wow. uettfdlftf to the strict letter of tte J * ? . J - » » tW -Union oouM not Dynevor's will was read, his brother was amazed to find there was no mention whatever of hl6 promise to secure Harold's future. It had been made immediately after the birth of little Lillian, and It left everything in trust to his wife for her daughter, and if the child died before reaching the age of 21 her mother inherited everything, with power to bequeath it to whom she pleased. No wonder the Charles Dynevors were aggrieved. They would not have grudged the estate to Lillian; but that it should revert to her mother, that a girl who had never seen the old house three years before should have power, if her child died, to leave it away from the family who had owned it for centuries—it was terrible I Perhaps their sense of injustice made the Charles Dynevors keep aloof from the young widow, and so they did not realize "how quickly her acquaintance with Eustace Lindon ripened into intimacy; and it came on them like a thunderbolt when, a year and a day after ner husband's death. Nina married the specious adventurer and went abroad with him. Very little news of her reached EasthiTl. That she had a second child —another daughter—and that her health failed so rapidly she was obliged to live always in the south of Francs, was all the DyneVors heard in the first few years. Then there came a formal letter from -Eustace Lindon, acquainting them with his ..stepdaughter's death; and, barely six months later, another to announce that his wife had passed away. "She will have left him all the ready money; but she can't be so base as to bequeath him the Manor," Charles Dynevor said to his wife, "I don't know. She was perfectly infatuated with him, and I suppose she would think of her child," replied Mrs. Dynevor. But there was no mention of her child; in the will. Mr. Dynevor paid half a. guinea for a copy of it. It had been made immediately after the death of her firstborn, and it simply bequeathed "all property of which I may die possessed, real or personal, of every description whatever, to my dear husband, Eustace Lindon." It had been drawn up by an English lawyer, and witnessed by the-doctor and nurse who attended little Lillian In ner last Illness. Everything- was perfectly in- form. Mr. Proctor, the leading solicitor of Marton, who had been st school with Harold Dynevor, and remained bis tfost friend, said that ta upset it wonld* te units inv possible..... , ;% :., •• \.y,.;..;*. So Eustace lindon enioyed his thousand* and the Dynevors grew poorer every year. Tot father li^ef MX his only son was old enough to take up the burden he had bonse so bravely. His dyin*> words charged Harold to D#> good to his mother an& Kitty, and never, if he could help it, accept anf favor at the hands of Bostace Lindon. "I can't explain H to you, my boy," said the dying man, solemnly, "but I save thought a great deal about the past since my illness began, I would not say a word to your mother, lest she should brood over it; but I can't help feeling Lindon did not play straight. Your Aunt Nina was little more than a child when be married her; but she was singularly frank and true. Knowing as she did that Dynevor Manor had been in our family for centuries, I can't believe she would have left it away from the old name willingly." "Do you mean you think the will was a forgery?" asked Harold. "No; I believe it was obtained from her by undue influence. When she was very ill he must liave worked on her fears in some way or other. I can't explain what I think, Harold; but I seem to know Nina Lindon never did us such a wrong willingly." "I could understand it better if she haid left anything to her child," .said Harold. "The injustice to us would have <been the same, but it would have been more natural." Mr. Dynevor shook his head. "It's a mystery we shan't fathom here, my boy. Only, with the instinct God sends sometimes to the dying, I seem to feel that Lindon is to blame. If he comes to live at the Manor, avoid him toy every means in your power." And that was the story of the past It was not strange that, remembering his father's last words, it was torture CHAPTER IV. There was consternation at the Manor and the Uplands; Inrt^when Frankrhvor Manor they made it perfectly~ciear to Harold Dynevor to think that the mortgage on his mother's home was held by Eustace Lindon. Kitty and the tea tray came in together. There was a capable woman servant at the Uplands, but she had her hands pretty full; and* both Mrs. Dynevor and her daughter -were tbor^ oughly domesticated, sweet, homekeeping women both of them, not learned in 'ologles and science, perhaps, but well gifted to make those about them happy. Harold felt quite refreshed after his tea, and asked his sister cheerfully if any one had been there that afternoon. "Only Helen Craven. She wants us to go to dinner there next week. I said Tuesday would suit you best." When the Cravens settled at Dyne to the family at the Uplands that they regarded them as friends and equals. The young Dynevors had spent, some of their happiest days at the Manor, and Helen Craven was Kitty's closest friend. "Tuesday will do nicely," said Har-« old. "I shall be glad of a little talk with the general. He may be able to tell me something about his landlord/' "Helen was quite radiant," went on Kitty. "It seemfe Alick is coming home next week on leave, and is going to bring his friend Captain Tempest with h i m . " She spoke with studied carelessness^ and yet the speech- had cost her an effort. Kitty and her mother were both dreadfully afraid Harold cared for Helen Craven. Loving him as they did, they were of course persuaded he could hatfe Won the general's "daughter had he only made up his mind to woo. Both believed only his poverty and pride had kept him silent, and it had come on tbem as a blow when they discovered the great interest Helen took in the visits of her brother's chum, and they were forced to see that Captain Tempest was already more to her than Harold had ever been. So Kitty made this remark tentatively, as a sort of breaking the news to Harold that if he entered the lists he would be too late. Dynevor never guessed Kitty'3 suspicions. He smiled quite cheerfully as he said: "Sets the wind in that direction? Well, you^ will miss Helen dreadfully. Kitty, If she marries; but she is 22, so I suppose it's time she began to think of such a thing, and Jack Temple is a right down good fellow. I took a great fancy to him when he was here at Christmas. I only hope you'll have as good fortune, Miss Kitty, when your time comes." Kitty and her mother exchanged congratulatory glances, which seemed to say: "He does not mind! he could not have cared for her really after all." (To be continued.) "Iam so Glad you are well.

To select glass with discretion it is necessary to understand somewhat of its manufacture and to recall the properties of the chemicals of which it 1s composed. These materials aire chiefly soda, potash, lime, alumina and oxide of lead. The quality of the glass to be manufactured depends upon the amount of the basic material united with the silica or sand. The best glass is made with lead, which gives to it luster, fusibility * and high refractory powers. It Is often called fliDt glass to distinguish it-from lime glass, which is much cheaper and of a decidedly greenish tint. Flint glass is that which is most generally used for cutting and polishing. It may be picked out by the clear, belllike tone which it sends forth when struck. This test may be made without any danger of breaking the glass if it be held firmly in one hand while the upper part or edge is sharply struck with a pencil or other instrument,, the only care requisite being to see that the glass does not touch any object when it is struck, since if there be room for it to vibrato glass will never break.— Harper's Bazar.

No farme/ can afford to waste the manure that Is made on the farm, and one of the great advantages to the land, and consequently to its owner, in stock farming, lies in the fact that it makes a large amount of barnyard manure with which to maintain fertility, and dairy farming does this to a still greater extent, as Iowa Homestead explains. To the busy farmer the time when tne manure should be hauled is a matter of importance. With leisure for the work at command, and a proper place to put it on the land, the ideal way to treat manure would be to haul it out and spread It as it is made. Other urgent work, however, makes this impracticable in most cases. A great deal may be said, therefore, In favor o f hauling out manure in the late fall and winter. There are at that time no crops in the field either to demand the farmer's attention or to be an obstacle to hauling out the manure. The ground, too, is usually firm, making the draft over the field comparatively light, and it Is not as unpleasant a task on a moderately cold day as it is at some other seasons of the year. It Is a good time, too, to distribute the manure so that it will do the most good, and if it is too cold to scatter it it may be piled on the ridges and thin places to be scattered at the first thaw. If one will make a systematic effort to distribute the manure made on the place, giving the subject some thought, means can be devised to render the work easier. A low wagon, for example, is more easily loaded, broad tires cut the fields less and are of lighter draft, movable bottoms to the wagon bed, such as are used by teamsters who haul dirt in and about cities, will ^mke-the-jvork_oi_unloading easy. m—mmm* Th« Tfipo4 of Atrrt«mltar«, Commercial fertilizers contain a variety of substances, but only three 4>f such importance that tne farmer oaa afford to buy them at the pricet charged for eonoontnt^d mwnnrfti. id* •> ,••: '' tortvt "Wmmmm' who b u female troubles, cnamon to htr •ex, is weak, feels tired, worn oat or ha* lost her'ambition, should take Kulll's Bad Pills for Wan People, VP*J«\<» Weak," cording to' Dr. R. a Kedxie, who says: They often contain lime, magnesia, til* lea, oxide of iron, sulphates, chlorides, etc.. many of these of value as manures, but they can be bought tor less money than is charged for the commercial fertilisers. The fertilisers may contain all these, but we buy them because they contain in addition one or more of three materials—via!, potash, phosphoric acid and active nitrogen. It is the presence* of these materials that gives commercial value to fertilisers. If the dealer boasts that bis manure also contains alumina, silica, oxide of iron, lime and magnesia, the sufficient answer is that these materials make up the mass of all soils and that the farmer buys bis land by th£ acre and not by the ton. The only manurial materials tbat a farmer can afford to buy at prices demanded for fertilizers, are these three most necessary, most precious and most easily exhausted\elemeuts of plant growth, the tripod of agriculture. In the absence of any one of these three materials no plant can grow to perfection. They are the great Blood and Jferv* Mrir ioipc and Developer, They ieatoaei health Strength and Beauty. Only 26o. Try If it has been difficult or impossible to haul out manure earlier, the farm will be all the better for a thorough cleaning up now and for a month or six weeks to come, and the fields will respond better to next year's demands upon them- Slovenly Method*. It Is a too common practice anions farmers In some western sections n follow slovenly methods in 'feed'i'ii:" stock. Instead of getting ;i few fee? ot cheap lumber for a floor on which to feed or making a few troughs whole grain is strewn on the ground for th< hogs to gather up as best tlioy u;::y X)ften the rainy season begins bci!!.i:;- the hogs are sold. Then the tottiyaro becomes a slough of mini, out of whioh the animals wprk very jissiiluous'y ;>, gather their daily food. This ••.KI.V I>< an extreme picture, but who l;.i-. u.n seen it many times.

Not the least mysterious of all the wonders of the earth is the extraordinary cleverness of Dame Nature as a carver and designer. Her tools are air, rain, rivers, springs and frost. Any one who has ever seen'the marvelous Queen liess rock on the North Cornish coast, tbat wonderful presentment of the great Queen Elizabeth, who is seated so grandly upon the sands, must have asked himself the question as to how such a thing could have been accomplished. Continuous trickling of water wears away the face of the rock. Haphazard It was until at last a weird pattern is formed that sometimes resembles a man's face, sometimes an animal. All over the world Nature has placed her picture gallery and her collection of statuary, the biggest free show in the world. Another work of Nature's that very often results in extraordinary changes being effected is a landslip. And landslips have arisen from the tiniest possible causes. A little underground flow of water had gradually undermined a hill or cliff until at last the earth became like a hollow nut Then the soil became top heavy. The sea beat against its foundations, and millions of tons of earth were flung into the sea, which proves the axiom that the tiniest beginnings often produce the mightiest ends.

Potato^ Ia*aetl«M*!< From Its experiments with insecticides upon potatoes the Maine station arrives at the following conclusion: In fighting the Colorado potato beetle no adequate^ubstitute for arsenical poisons has yet been found. The efforts are now limited to finding cheaper or more/ effective compounds of arsenic than paris green. The arsenical insecticides are best applied with water in the form of a fine spray as soon as the slugs appear. Unless applied in connection with bordeaux mixture it is safest to use lime with all arsenical compounds. The applications should be repeated as often as necessary. Some of the cheaper arsenoids were in these experiments as effective as paris green. There is no reason for using them in place of paris green unless they can be had at a lower price. Lead arsenate is the most satisfactory of the j insecticides, used by the station. It is apparently slower in action than the copper compounds of arsenic, but it can be more evenly applied, and it adheres firmly to the foliage without burning. Storage For Corn Fodder. A shed or mow 40 by 40 feet, with posts 20 feet, will store enough long stover to feed 25 horses and young cattle five months if the corn was cut jvltb £L high fltubble and none of the feed is wasted by outdoor* feeding. A small percentage of the corn crop goes Into the silo—a very small percentage notwithstanding all that has been said in favor of the silo. A very small percentage of the stover is shredded. The bulk of this feeding stuff is fed long because it is too cheap and plentiful in much of the corn belt to justify the labor of cutting. But outside of the. heart of the biggest corn production it pays to house all the stover needed for feeding, even if shredding and cutting are considered out of the question. When tied in bundles with string, it can be handled rapidly, and the needed so great as many suppose,—National Stockman. One Thing and Another. - A movement is iu progress in San Francisco to raise funds to purchase the property to make a forest reserve which will include the Santa Cruz big trees and a large forest of redwood. Sheep are crowding the cattle on the ranges of the Rocky mountains, so much has the former industry expanded in the past few years. Where mutton is made strictly supplementary to grain growing farming of more or less intensive character should be adopted. This involves the growing of clover, rape, vetches and other forage plants as rotation crops, these to be pastured off or to be harvested as bay for winter feeding. A popular method is to grow two successive grain crops, following these with clover or some cultivated crop. Five barrels of Kansas apples which took first premium at Paris were gathered in Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties. The Kansas station finds that in a shortage of both grain and roughage feeders can get more gains by mixing the grain and hay. The explanation is that where grain is fed alone much of It is not brought back to the mouth again, while if the grain is mixed with hay all of it gets the benefit of thorough mastication in the cud, and there is less difficulty from scouring where grain and hay are fed together. Packing company buyers consider ground corn and alfalfa the best feed for cattle.

H&S?*tVrtS:l8SfJlrt The gr^at organ for the Temple ot Music, which is to cost $10,000. is un der construction by Emmons Howard & Son. aud already there is much eagerness among the leading organist;; of the United States to have the privilege of playing upon it during the Ex ! position. Two recitals by prominent exponents of this branch of musical art will be given each day. Concerts by the leading instrumental organizations of America and Europe will be given every day during the progress ot tbe Exposition in the Music Temple and from the band stands in the Plaza. Esplanade and other parts of tbe grounds. In connection with the subject of music at the Pan-American Ex-' position mention should be made o> tbe notable attractions to music lovers to be provided at the great Saengerfes; of the North American Saengorbund, which will open In Buffalo on Monday evening, June 24, 1901. , i No feature of the Pan-American Exposition will be of more importance than the exhibit of mines aud metallurgy. The building to be devoted to these exhibits is one of a group of three magniOcent structures, arranged' in the form of a horseshoe, at the west- '• ern boundary of the Esplanade. The Mines buildiug is the southernmost of, the group and is connected with the Horticultural building by one of the, conservatories which dank the ilorti- j cultural building on the north and! south. It Is 150 feet square, and at j each of the four corners it has a square : tower GO feet high. The eastern fa- \ cade, looking upon the Esplanade, i Bhows three high recessed arches be- [ tween the towers, forming un open loggia elaborately and beautifully ornamented with plastic detail aud decorated, in brilliant colors. From tl^£, loggia are tbe main entrances to the j building. There are also entrances in j the corner towers. The ornamental detail is very picturesque and interest- j lng. The design is by Peabody * Stearns of Bostou. i Never was the science of -metallurgy | or skill in mining more' highly devel-1 oped than in the present day. The! golden decorations of King Solomon's Temple are estimated to have cost ( $230,000,000. Ever since the account In the book of Genesis of flndlug gold along the river Pison. a stream which flows from the Garden of Eden, the seek-! lng for and mining of gold have been] among tne most rnscmaTragTitrusTrre. : The production of gold throughout the world during the present century ha9 -steadily increased. The production in the United States in 1S0D amouuted to $72,500,000. while that of the whole, world is given at $315,000,000, thus giv j ing the United States the first position in production of gold of any country, i In the matter of copper the United States produces 2*23,000 tons annually,' or more than" one-half of the world's output Tbe United States and Mexico j are the two greatest silver producing' countries. In other mining produo) tions, the commercial value of which is ( considerably greater than that of tbo; precious metals, the -countries of Pan- America also lead the world. During the last year the coal output of the; United, States reached the euormoua amount of 226.000,000 tons* This, as, compared with Great Britain's output of about 200,000,000 tonsr and Germany's 100.000.000 tons, makes the question of the future production o(| coal, considering the rapid increase in i i uraropean limit and i wblcb It more than the entire po! , tion of tbe country at tbe time of tbe Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, , It Is about twice tbe number living ! within tbe same distance of Chicago. 1 Tbe great Falls of Niagara constitute ; an important attraction to tourists who I expect to visit tbe Exposition, as they ! are only half an hour's ride from tbe \ Exposition grounds, and excellent rail* I way accommodations are provided bei tween the cities of Buffalo and Niagara i Falls. Near at hand also is the great I summer school in the grove on Lake 1 Chautauqua's shores, known as the Chautauqua Assembly. Buffalo has a population of nearly ; 400,000, and this is the first great Ex- , position held in the east since the Centennial. 25 years ago. For the several reasons here noted it is expected that tbe attendance to the Pan-American Exposition will be very large and that the results will be very gratifying in tbe promotion of trade among all the states and nations of the western hemisphere and in the establishment of more cordial relations among all the people of the western world. American ana- Tneuract rnat M A R K R E N N ' M production has reached its is already declining, especially note-j worthy at this time. The Canadian! output of coal and iron is an item of great importance. The near proximity of iron and coking coal and the proper fluxes gives Canada a great advantage In the manufacture of iron and steel. I The advancement of these Industries j In North America during the past dec-! ade has been phenomenal, the total pro- j. duction of the United States last year : amounting in value to $413,758,414 and j of nonmetalllc substances to a total of , $601,872,031. j Nearly $3,000,000 will be required to •' ,_ , .^ ,, x ,, . . , . - . „ , * construct and equip the wonderful h J *»* s a i d t h a t the plamLff "had acted like an unmannerly boor." but since aht :'ti Ger.-inn La>v of I.r.»i*\ T h e CjtM'iiinu Jaw of lib*.

The winter's tale of wrecks on our coasts has begun, and in the agony of great peril how precious must seem a single foot of American soil beyond the waiting reefs and treacherous sands! The Elyeeo Palace hotel, at Paris, is so largely patronized by English people that when, just before the arrival of President Kruger, his agent, Dr. Leyds, andeavored to secure rooms for him there, the managers refused to let him have them at any price, with the result that President Kruger was forced to take up his abode elsewhere. Now Buffalo contributes to the di* vorce scandals of the country. A divorce "mill" has been discovered there, which has secured with secrecy and celerity by means of deception, bribery anu intimidation. Scores of the cases have been uncontested. A searching investigation is now being conducted by the trial justices of the supreme court, but already great harm has been done. George Benjamin Clemenceau, now a "struggle-for-lifer" in Paris, earning a scant living with his pen, was ten years, ago one of the foremost figures in French politics. Clemenceau was thrown up to the surface of affairs by the revolution of 1870, and from that time until 1891 he was as conspicuous as any. character in Paris. Arising with the storm of the revolution, he sank !n the excitement of the Panama affair. Search for the casket containing the remains of Charles Coghlan has been abandoned at Galveston. The noted actor died there in November in 1899, and for some unknown reason the metallic casket containing the body was Btill In Galveston when the terrible tidal wave swept over the place September 8 last. The casket was swept from the receiving vault and is now believed to have been carried out to sea. In Vienna there is a school for waiters. The first course is devoted to a theoretical exposition of the art of serving at table. When the pupils have sufficiently mastered the principles of the art, they are allowed to practice on two ladies and-two gentlemen in evening dress who dine at one table. The professor, watches the operation, and sharply calls the vfaiter to~accpunt if he uses an ordinary cork screw instead of an automatic one, or' carelessly puts his finger in the soup. If he should be without gloves, he is shown how to conceal the fact by means of the serviette, and so forth. There are 1,900 pupils in this school alone. The east end of Paris. like that ot London, is at present overrun with ruffians of the Hooligan type, who are known as "les ceintures bleues," because each wears a blue belt as the sign of his villainous associations. Last week opened with the arrest of several gangs, which consist of youths aged from 15 to 17 years, who are evidently a continuation of the mr.sked robbers of Montreuil, at present awaiting trial. They employ women as decoys, and their practice is to makemidnight attacks on villas and shops, using considerable violence when opposition is offered to their depredations. Scores of extra police have been drafted into the district, and tt is hoped the end.of Parisian Hooliganism is nigh. A secre: society called the Hom« Makers has a large membership among the foreigners in the mining districts of Pennsylvania. The purpose of the organization is to provide and maintain pleasant homes for its members and those dependent upon them, and as gossipy, careless wives and mothers are held -by them to be the cause of a majority of the unhappy,ill-kept homes and neglected children, the society believes the members have a right to use every .possible means to see that their homes ar not neglected. A member who eorroets his wife by beating her must do so only after all other means to induce her to* do her duty have failed. The society pays for the defense of its members when arrested for wtfs beating, and in case of conviction tht ftps <Copyrlght, 1501, by Louis KJopsch, N. Y.) Washington, Jan. 6.-In this d#- course-Dr. Talmago tells something Of what he expects the next hundred years will achieve and declares that the outlook is most inspiring; text, IJ. Samuel xxlii., 4, "A morning without cipuda." "What do you expect of this new century?" is the question often asked of me, and many others have been plied with the same inquiry. In the realm of invention I expect something as startling as the telegraph and the telephone and the X ray. In the realm of poetry I expect as great poets as Longfellow and Tennyson.: In4.Jthe realm of medicine I expect the cure of cancer and consumption. In the realm of religion r expect more than one Pentecost like that of 1857, when 500,000 souls professed to have been converted. I expect that universal peace will reign and that before the arrival of the two thousandth year gunpowder will 'be out of use except for blaft|njttpcks or pyrotechnic entertainment. I expect that before this new century has expired the millennium will be fu\ly inaugurated. The twentieth century wtill be as much an improvement on the nineteenth century as the nineteenth century was an improvement on the eighteenth. But the conventional length of sermonic discourse will allow us only time for one hopeful oonsideratlon,and that will be the redemption of the cities. Civic Pride Commendable. I have noticed that a man never likes a city where he has not behaved well. People who have a free ride in the prison van never like the city that furnishes the vehicle. When I find Argos and Rhodes and Smyrna trying to prove themselves the birthplace of Homer, I conclude right away that Homer behaved well. He liked them, and they liked him. We must not war on laudable city pride or with the idea of building ourselves up at any time to try to pull others down. Boston must continue to point to Its Faneuil hall and to its superior educational advantages. Philadelphia must continue to point to Its Independence hall and Its mint and its Girard college. New York must continue to exult in its matchless harbor and its vast population &wi its institutions of mercy . and its ever widening commerce. Washington must continue to rejoice in the fact that it is the most beautiful city under the sun. If I should find a man coming from any city having no pride In that city, that city having been the place of his nativity or now being the place of his residence, I would feel like asking him right "away: "Wiiat mean thing have you been doing there? What outrageous thing have you been guilty of that you do not like the place?" Good Overbalance Evil. I know there are sorrot/s andr there are sins and there are sufferings all around about us, but as in some bitter cold winter,day when we are thrashing our arms around us to keep our thumbs from freezing we think of the warm spring day that will after awhile come, or in the dark winter night we look up and we see the northern lights, the windows of heaven illumined by some great victory, just so we look up from the night of suffering and sorrow and wretchedness in our cities, and we see a light streaming through from the other side, and we know we are on the way to morning—more than that, on the way to "a morning without clouds." I want you to understand, all you who are toiling for Christ, that the castles of sin are all going to be captured. The victory for Christ in these great towns is going to be so complete that not a man on earth or an angel in heaven or a devil in hell will dispute it. How do 1 know? I know it just as certainly as God lives and that this is holy truth. The old Bible 1s full of it. The nation is to be saved; of course, all the citie3 are to be saved. It makes a great difference with you and with me whether we are toiling on toward a defeat or toiling on toward a victory. LeMenlng- t h e Borden*. In that day of which I speak taxes will be a mere nothfhg. Now our business men are taxed for everything. City taxes, county taxes, state taxes, United States taxes, stamp taxes, license taxes, manufacturing taxes—taxes, taxes, taxes! Our business men have to make a small fortune every year to pay their taxes. What fastens on our great industries this awful, load? Crime, individual and official. We have to pay the board of the villains who are incarcerated in our prisons. We have to take care of the orphans of those who plunged into their graves through beastly indulgence.. We have to sup- ,port the municipal governments,which -•» . - • «i--.j are expensive just in proportion as the criminal proclivities are vast and tremendous. Who supports, the almshouses and police station* and all the machinery of municipal .government? The taxpayers. But in the glorious time of which I sp*ak grievous taxation will all have ceased.

Better factories, grander architecture, finer equipage, larger fortunes, richer opulence—"a morning without clouds." Churehea Not Large Enoogh. In our great cities the churches are not today large enough to hold more than a fourth of the population. The churches that are buHt-—eojnparatively few of them are fully occupied. The j average attendance in the churches of the United States today is not 400. Now, in the glorious time of which I speak, there are going to be vast churches, and they are going to he all thronged with worshipers. Oh, what rousing songs they will sing! Oh, what earnest sermons they will preach! Oh, what fervent prayers they will offer! Now, in our time, what Is called a fashionable church Is a place where a few people, having attended very carefully to their toilet, come and sit down—they dp not want to be crowded, they like a whole seat to themselves— and then, if they have any time left from thinking of their store, and from examining the style of the hat In front of them, they sit and listen to a sermon warranted to hit no man's sins, and listen to music which i« rendered by a choir warranted to slug tunes that nobody knows! And then after an hour and a half of indolent yawning they go home refreshed. Every man feels -better after he has had a sleep! In many of the churches of Christ in our day the music Is simply a mockery. I have not a cultivated ear nor a cultivated voice, yet no man can do my singing for me. I have nothing to say against artistic music. The $2 or $5 I pay to hear one of the great queens of song is a good investment. But when the people assemble in religious convocation, and the hymn is read, and the angels of God _slep from their throne to catch the music on their wings, do not let us drive them away. by our indifference. I have preached in churches where vaBt sums of money were employed to keep up the music, and it was as exquisite as any heard on earth, but I thought at the same time, for all matters practical, I would prefer^ the hearty, outbreaking song of a backwoods Methodist campmeet in*. Praising Cod In Son*. Let one of these starveling fancy apngs sung in church get up before the throne of God,how would it look standing amid the great doxologies of the redeemed! Let the finest operatic air that ever went up from the church of Christ get many hours iHe startr it will be caught and pa^t by the hosanna of the Sabbath school children. I know a chwrch where the choir did all the singing, save one Christian man Who, through perseverance of the saints, went right on, and afterward a committee was appointed to wait on him and ask him if he would not please to stop singing, as it bothered the choir. "Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our God, But children of the heavenly King Should speak their joys abroad." , , - • » "Praise ye the Lord;, let everything with breath praise the Lord." In the glorious time coming in our cities and in the world hoaahna will meet hosanna and hallelujah hallelujah. Tho Machinery of I***. He goes on and gives plates of the machinery by which this work is to be done, and he says he only needs at the start a company in which the shares shall be $20 each, and a hundred or two hundred thousand shall be raised just to make a specimen community, and then, this being formed, the world will see its practicability, and very soon $2,000,000 or ¢3,000,000 can be obtained, and in ten years the whole earth will be emparadised. The plan is not so preposterous as some I have heard of, but I will take no stock in ^that company. I do not believe it will ever be done in that way by any mechanical force or by any machinery that the human mind can put into play. It Is to be done by the gospel of the S^n of God—the omnipotent machinery of love and grace and pardon and salvation. That Is to emparadise the nations.

It shall kindle its suns after all other lights have gone cut It will be a billowing sea after all other oceans have wept themselves away. It will warm itself by the blaze of a consuming world. It will sing while the archangel's trumpet peals and the air is filled with the crash of breaking sepulchers and the rush of the wings of the rising dead. Oh, commend that love to all the cities, and the morning without clouds will come. Like a Hopeteea Taak. I know that sometimes it seems a hopeless task. You toil on in different spheres, sometimes with great discouragement. People have no faith and say: "It does not amount to anything. You might as well quit that." Why, when Moses stretched his hand over the Red sea, it did not seem to mean anything especially. People came out, I suppose, and said, "Aha!" Some of them found out what he wanted to do. He wanted the sea parted. It did not amount to anything, this stretching out of his hand over the sea. But after awhile the wind blew all night from the east, and the waters were gathered into a glittering palisade on either side, and the billows reared as GoeV. pulled back on their crystal bits. Wheel into line, O Israel! March, march! Pearls crashed under feet. Flying spray gathers into rainbow arch of victory for the conquerors to march under. Shout of hosts on the beach answering the shout of hosts amid the sea. And when the last line of the Israelitea reach the beach the cymbals clap, and thenrtrtelds clang, and the waters rush over the pursuers, and the swift fingered winds on the white keys of the foam play the grand march of Israel delivered and the awful dirge of Egyptian overthrow. So you and I go forth, and all the people of God go forth, and they stretch their hand over the sea, the boiling sea of crime and sin and wretchedness. "It doesn't amount to anything," people eay. Doesn't it? God's winds of help will after awhile begin to blow. A path will be cleared for the army of Christian philanthropists. The path will be lined with the treasures of Christian beneficence, ard we will be greeted to the other beach by the clapping of all heaven's-ey-n^ bals, while those who pursued us and derided us and tried to destroy us will go down under the sea, and all that will be left of them will be cast high and dry upon the beach, the splintered wheel of a chariot or thrust out from the jfoam the breathless nostril of a riderless charger. Good-By t o the Train Boy. Good-by to the train boy. On January I, l»01, on two important American railroad systems, the experiment, heretofore tried tentatively, of excluding from their cars all peddling of popcorn, i peanuts, cigars, newspapers, games, caramels, matches and magazines, was Inaugurated and the "train boy" summarily done away with. Against this innovation serious and urgent opposition was expected, for the train boy, with his wares, had conre to be regarded, if not as a cherished, certainly as an unavoidable, incident of American passenger travel by Taiiroad. In the evolution of modern travel to its present point of excellence, the ununlfortned conductor, distinguishable only by his metal oadge, the loud-shouting brakeman. and car coupler disappeared, but the "candy or train b o y with his stock of peanuts and confectionery had lingered on, a burden to the patience of many travelers and an unnecessary survival of archaic railroading.

"Five years ago I was a continual sufferer of Heart Disease. Exposure during the war, and a tendency to grow over fleshy, had greatly aggravated this dread disease. I often had to sit up half the night. I had it so bad when I would lie down. Life looked pretty blue to me, as I thought there was no relief,, until one day I read an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I bought a box that same day, and it was the best day's work I ever did. Before I had used all the first box I could eat and sleep better than I had done for many years, and after three months' faithful treatment, my health was completely restored. I am an old man now, but my step is as elastic and my brain as clear as when I was thirty years of age." These are the words of the Hon. Moses B. Crane, secretary of Odin Lodge, No. 123, I. O. 0.

Bees must be.kept quiet in winter, and no roadway for any purpose should run through the apiary. Disturbances of any kind whatever in cold weather are damaging to bees, and in case of exposure to high winds windbreaks should be provided. Windbreaks are of great sen-ice to bees when thus wintered out of doors, and in the absence of timber or evergreens, building, etc., a high board fence should be erected. Hives should face the east or the south. A south or east slope of ground is desirable to locate on and is seldom found to be too sloping, but in the absence of all these advantages the best of success has been obtained other* wise, so it is not a reasonable excuse to neglect the bees or to give up beekeeping. Bees have done well on the roofs of houses, even on high business houses in large cities, and they have done well on the north side of buildings where they do not see the sun from one year's end to another, so in this there is more In the way they are attended than in anything else. Bees should be in their winter quarters before winter is on. They should nave some time to get settled down in good housekeeping shape after being placed in winter quarters and before cold weather; hence It is expensive to wait until winter is on. Never change tbe location of hives wmsfl going Into winter Quarters, in t**-tnne apiary or about the yard or In ties- immediate vicinity. If this is done, when the bees 4*s* thetr"4>s*^Ucht thereafter the* will return to their torassr location.— Call at'the DISPATCH Office gfrt pri>»a and w e are SUM* tn An The Busy Bee Hive —1.

Our electric road just now seems to receive a chill; but one cannot be su re of the road till the cars v e running. The lat*est project is that, a road will run from Ann Arbor via Chelsea, Stock bridge to Lansing, thus cutting off the Portage summer resort and Pinckney. It any electric road com pany realizes that they will be more benfited by shunning the resort and going by tbe way of Chelsea they will do it, but we can hardlv see now it would benefit them.

TAnd tiien Harold amazed*them by tfce Question: tf4!* there a school at EasthiU-On- Sea? I never heard of one." Easthill-on-Sea was about two miles from Eastbill proper, in the opposite direction from Dynevor Manor and the |—or Beryl thought so. She reached Uplands. Wttfhin the last few years some • speculators had got possession of land there, and -were trying hard to convert what had been a fishing hamlet into a watering-place. They had not succeeded well', and the present result was a kind of straggling, unfinished settlement, which was neither town nor village. The old inhabitants of Basthi 11 rather made game of the new watering-place, which will account for Kitty's laugh. ' ~\ "I really don't know, Harold; I hardly ever go to Easthill-on-Sea. There may be half a. dozen schools; but I hope not, for their proprietors' 8akes, for I can't Imagine that any one would send children there." "I think you're hard on the place," said Harold. "There's -a very good beach and a splendid' air. I suppose people are to be found who can do without niggers at the seaside." "Ah, but titey'd want decent roads and tolerable comfort;" objected Kitty; "and you know when it rains Easthillon- Sea is almost a swam., because no one has made up the roads. Then they only bake every other day, and the butcher's shop 'opens twice a week. It would taken good deal to make up for such drawbacks:" "It is all so unfinished," said Mrs. Dynevor. "The roads are staked out, and imposing names painted on signboards, like 'Elm avenue," and 'Sea View gardens;* but neither avenue nor gardens boast a single house, and the roads are not even divided from each other, except by a few posts." "Why are you so suddenly interested in Easthill-on-Sea?" demanded Kitty. "You can't possibly have been asked to recommendany one a school there?" "Oh, dear, no; but I came home from Marton by train, and a girl got out at our elation-who~wanted to go to Earthm-on-Sea. She asked the porter the way to Mrs. Tanner's school. He questioned the ticket collector, and even the station master himself, but neitner of them had ever heard of it I couldn't help feeling sorry for her, she looked so'tired and sad. It must be hard Tines to come off a long Journey j ings raud not yet been fenced off. and not Had any one who can direct you to your destination." ~Poor thingT' said Kitty, and then the subject dropped, tyone-of the three guessed the influence the lonely little traveler was to have on their lives. It never dawned on Kity that the unknown girl who was bound for a school no one had ever heard of was to be her 'dearest friend. CHAPTER V. Nothing will describe the desolation which 'filled 'Beryl Linden's heart wb/ep !#he stepped on to the platform at Basthlll. 'She "had left Loudon filled with the one desire of escaping from her father and stepmother. Ever since ehe heard of the former's marriage her one end and object had been to get safely away from Elchester square. It was only when she had actually startled, when Mrs. Markham's kindly face was lost t o sight, that she realized she was going among strangers, that a new, untried life lay before her. with •not one friendly voice to brighten it. It was a long, tedious journey, and Involved two changes. Easthill was on a branch line, at which only the slowest ol trains condescended to stop. She was very plainly dressed in Mack; but all her things had come , from a West End shop, and *here was an air of distinction about her not often seen in a lonely little ttiird-class traveler. She 'was eighteen, though she looked older—a very .small, fairy-like crea- ,tnre, with soft, wavy brown hair, and big, lustrous blue-grey *eyes. Her complexion was very fair, and had the daintiest carmine tint. She knew absolutely nothing of the country. Brighten. Brussels, where she had (been at school, ^nd the tall house In Eldiest^ square had made up her world. To find herself at a little rustic station, with only a few cottages lnNiigM, was almost rvlarmtng. And no one at the station had heard of Mrs. Tanner's school. That of Itself was enough to d\sco«rage her. ^onT~you~~be aTraflT mTssTe," the station master said kindly. **If you wrote to the lady, and she had your letter, she must live here somewhere, and the postofflce are the best people to help you find. her. You go straight along this lane till you come to a sign post take the scad marked 'Easthillon- Sea,' and presently you'll see four or five shops. The postofllce is the first of the lot, and they'll put* you right" mercy and started. The lane seemed interminable. Perhaps in summer time it was pretty; but it was a late season, and the trees were hardly in bud. Tfceir^ bare branches almost met in the middle of the lane, looking very like black, threatening hands uplifted against her the sign post without meeting a single creature; but, another half-mile brought her to the shops, and her heart gave a thrill of relief as she recognized the postoffifcg. It was quito unlike any postofflce Beryl had ever seen, being a cottage with all business transacted in the front parlor; while the room on the opposite side appeared to be a baker's, one stale loaf and half a dozen stodgylooking buns being arranged in the window. "Can you tell me the way to Mrs. Tanner's school—Woodlands, the house is called?" asked Beryl anxiously. The young woman behind the counter was better informed than the railway people, for she answered without any hesitation: "It's the last house on the front The name's not up; but you can't be mistaken because there are no more houses." This was conclusive; but Beryl felt positively sinking from weakness and fatigue. She looked at the loaf of bread and buns, and finally asked the damsel in charge if she could have some refreshment—"a cup of tea or something." "The fire's out, I expect. You can have a glass of milk and a plate of bread and butter, if you like." The fare was plain, but it revived the traveler. The attendant gave her plenty of local information while she ate and drank. Mrs. Tanner had not been at Easthill-on-Sea long. There wasn't much opening for a school; there were very few residents, and naturally vistors didn't want to send their children to school when they came down in the summer.. "You do look tired!" she concluded. "But jt's_not mimh-fur-ther now.- The end of this street leads to the front, and Mrs. Tanner's is the last house on the right" Beryl found the house easily; but her heart sank as she looked at it. It was so new that at the back the piece **r of waste ground called a garden was not yet fenced off, and the front rail- Woodlands looked as though it had been built elsewhere, brought t<5 East' hill on a trolley, and just popped down on the first vacant space. The wind howled round it the waves which dashed over the shingle seemed to Jaugh derisively at'it. and even to poor B e r y l t h e hn^P h o a r d o v o r t h a f r o n t test of centuries, and this bleak, desolate place seemed terrible to me; but, Miss Lindon, work b» the best cure for sadness, and even Basthill-on-Sea seems brighter when one is busy." "Please forgive me!" said Beryl, pleadingly. "Indeed, I am not di^coatented; it was only that you were so ~j kind to me." "Did you expect me tope an ogress?" asked Mrs. Tanner. "When you have had some tea and feel rested I will tell you all about things. I am afraid you will find plenty of rough places at Woodlands, but they won't be of my making." • Tea was delightful. With curtaius drawn and the lamps lighted, the room seemed quite a snuggery; and Mrs. Tanner saw that Beryl had plenty of the fare provided. "I would rather tell you everything before you see my sister," she said, when Rhoda had taken away the things. My husband died last November. He was the best and kindest man who ever lived, but he wasn't businesslike, and when all the expenses were paid I had only £20 and the furniture to keep myself and the children. Of course I knew I should have to work; hut I had never had to earn my living, and I did not know how to set about i t My sister is the only near relation I have. She is very rich, and she likes to manage. She decided I had better keep a school, then the twins could be educated for nothing. Her husband has a good deal of property round here, and they offered me this house rent free for three years. "Of course"—she flushed painfully— "the Wilmots are in a very good position here, and it would not do for it to be known any one connected with them had to keep a school, so I promised Mary I would never mention the relationship. She has really been very good. She speaks of me to people as 'a young widow in whom she, is interested/ and altogether .1 have twelve pupils. If the new ones promised this term come tomorrow I shall have fifteen. They pay £2 a tefm, so that I have £90 a year; but I found out if I had any one who could teach French and really good music I should get more scholars and keep them till they were older. That is why I thought of getting help. Besides, with only Rhoda, there is a great deal to do domestically, and the twins' clothes: have to be made and mended." "How old ^.re the twins?" asked Beryl.

Mrs. Tanner did not s?em in the least angry. She took BeryJ's hand and held it for a minute or two, then she said gently: "I don't wonder at your being upset, my dear. When I first csraae here in January I loathed the place quite as much as you can do. I came from a pretty country rectory, with a dear Beryl left her luggage to the porter's j old garden and trees that*had .stood the windowE—."Ladles' SchooT*—seemed grotesque in Such a place. She rang the bell. It was so stiff heT fingers could hardly move it, and when at last It rang it made such a noise she decided Mrs. Tanner would thiiikJorer new teacher very rmpatient- Therewas not the least sound of movement in the house, and Beryl was actually contemplating a second ring when the door was flung suddenly open, and a very small servant in a very brg white apron ^tood regarding her curiously. "Is Mrs. Tan-mr at home? I think She is expecting me. I am the new governess." ""You're to cotrre this way," eaid the child—she really was very little more. And Berfil followed her across a goodsized haE to a small sitting-room at the back, the door of which her guide opened encouragingly. *Tou gfo straight in;" she. commanded. It was a r e r y small1 room, and rafher sparsely furnished; but what Beryl saw first was a tall, flight woman in widow's weeds, who «ame forward to meet her wfcth such * frightened face that the girl felt compelled to take the initf.tlve. "I am afraid I am later than you expected, Mrs. Tanner: 'hut it is a long walk from tb^ station, and I came slowly so as not to lose my-^vjaj." "You look cold and tired." said Mrs. Tanner gently. "Sit down and warm yourself. Rhoda will bring tea soon-; I waited for you." "it was very kind of ycni." Beryl began, and then she broke down helplessly and cried a* though her heart would break. Of course it was behav- i .bulirUny operations swt thro* cmiii m^dlsgracefuTTy. I t was most unschol- f daughter.; the tax collector oomrib than in a grander situation." "I am sure of it," said Beryl. "Mrs. Tanner, I don't think any one in the whole world can be lonelier than I am, and if only you will keep me, I shall be glad to stay." Mrs. Tanmr gave a little sigh. "Mary—MTS. Wilmot—will be round -hr-the morning. You must not mind if she seems, a little overbearing. Oh, and there ts the thing she wanted me to say—she does not like your name at all." Beryl professed her regret, but hardly saw the objection was her fault "It's" Tn this way," explained Mrs. Tanner. "The show place near here, Dynevor Manor, belongs to a Mr. Lindon, though General Craven lives there. Mary thinks it a slight to Mr. Lindon that my teacher should have the same name. Her husband is his agent, and goes to see him sometimes j at his grand house in Elchester square, Belgravia. Of course I told Mary Mr. Lindon would never hear of my school, j much less my teacher's name; but she was very disagreeable, and said it could not-matter to you, and that by changing one letter the nam* sounded quite differently. Do you mind bern" Miss Lendon? You see, it won't make any difference to your letters, because most people loop their i's now, so that they look lik> e's." Beryl felt inclined to bless Mrs. Wilmot. If, as She now felt positive, her father were thv owner of Dynevor Man-, or. why. then, her one desire jfas that he might never hear his fugitive daughter was Irving beneath its shadow. She had never heard htm speak ' of Sussex, or oi possessing property in the country. Surely it was strange that with all England before heT. she should have drifted to the one place whene he hud interest. School began the next day. The fifteen girls were nice things.

The day was when men of promi nence hesitated to give their testimonials to proprietary medicines for publication. This remains true today of most proprietary medicines. But Peruna has become so justly famous, its merits are known to so many people of high and low stations, that no one hesitates to see his name in print recommending Peruna. The highest men in our nation have given Peruna a strong endorsement Men representing all' classes and stations are equally represented. A dignified representative of the Presbyterian church in the person of Rev. B. G. Smith does not hesitate to state publicly that he has used Peruna in his family and found it cured when other remedies failed. In this statement the Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in his church. Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Greensboro, Ga., writes: "Having used Peruna in my family lor some time it gives me pleasure totestify to its true worth. My little boy seven years of age had been suffering for some time with catarrh of the lower bowels. Other remedies had failed, but Under Arrest in Cuba. after taking two bottles of Peruna the trouble almost entirely disappeared. For this special malady I consider it well nigh a specific. As a tonic for weak and Worn out people it has few or no equals."—Rev. B. G. Smith. Mr. M. J. Rossman,a prominent merchant of Greensboro, Ga., and an elder in the Presbyterian church of that place, has used Peruna.and in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows: "For a long time I was troubled with catarrh of the kidneys and tried many remedies, all of which gave me no relief. Peruna was recommended to me by several friends, and after using a few bottles I am pleased to say that the long looked for relief was found and I am now enjoying better health. than I have for years, and can heartily recommend Peruna to all similarly afflicted. It is certainly a grand medicine."— M. J. Rossman. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at fence to Dr. Hartman, {-giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give yon hia valuable advice gratis.

THURSDAY, JAN. 17, 19QJ Experiments with aluminum as a substitute for paper are now under way in France. It is well known that the paper used today in the manufacture of books is not durable. It is now possible to roll the aluminum into sheets four thousandths of an iuch in thickness, in which form it weighs less than paper. By the adoption of suitable machinery these sheets can be made even thinner and ca.n be used for book or writing paper. The metal will not oxidize, is practially fire and water proof and is indistructible by the jaws of worms.—Shoe aud Leather facts.

Boland the electric road man, and this week received a letter from him stating that he wants the order increased to six. This leaves twenty in the park. Under the present laws deer can only be shipped during the open season anil Mr. Birkett had to get a special permit to ship this one. State Game VVarden Morse informs him that if he meet with the state sportsmen's club at Laning, Jan. 23-24, there will no doubt be some important chau^es made iu the law which would enable domesticated deer to be shipped at any season of the year. — Dexter Leader. *.-u*'otjev&jor t h e n t a k e s .

During the tirst half of the eighteenth century one of the members for a southern constituency was expelled from the house of commons for forgery and Indeed endured the purgatory of standing in the pillory for a day. He was a man of unctuous piety, and his career in many respects resembled that of Jabez Balfour in later days. After his death the following prayer was found in his own handwriting among his papers: "O Lord, thou knowest that 1 have nine houses in the city of London and "ttratrttrave" lately purchased an estate in fee simple in the county of Essex. 1 beseech thee to preserve the two counties of Middlesex and Essex from fire and earthquake, and as I have a mortgage in Herefordshire, I beg of thee to have an eye of compassion also on that county, and for the rest of the counties thou mayest deal with them as thou art pleased. Give a prosperous voyage to the Mermaid, because I have not insured her, and enable the bank to meet their bills."—St. James Gazette. f Tne Boy Aboard Ship. Mr. Frank T. Bullen, who was once a ship boy himself, makes in his book, '•The Men of the Merchants' Service." these mournful statements concerning the sea life of young Jacky: "Within the memory of middle aged men a boy on board a ship was the butt, the vicarious sacrifice to all the accumulated ill temper of the ship. Toiay tales are told of the treatment of boys in 'Geordle' colliers that are enough to make the flesh creep to hear. Ln those days i t was the privilege of every man on board to ill treat the boy, and if, as very often happened, the poor little wretch died under It—well, what of it?—it was only a boy. "And the peculiar parf of it all was that the brutes * who did these evil deeds prided themselves that their actions were right and proper. There was only one way of training a boy— with a rope'8 end if it were handy; if not, a fist or a boot would do, but he must be beaten. "One man whom I shall always remember, as smart a seaman as ever trod a ship's deck, beat me until there was not a square inch of my small body unbruised. Scarcely a watch passed that I did not receive some token of his interest in my welfare, and on two occasions he kicked me with such violence that with all the will in he world to obey his orders I was perfectly helpless. My only wonder Is that he did not kill me. "Yet when I left the ship he bade me quite an affectionate farewell, bidding me remember how hard he had labored for my benefit, that every blow he had given me was solely aimed at making me more useful and fitting me for my ! duties."

The coal expended on a single cruise would pay for the refitting of his whole battle line, while the immense uhells required to make any impression on the modern armor plate cost more than his whole armament. But the modern line of battle ship could neither be built, armed nor fought without the use of steam, and its evolution may be said to have commenced with the first application of the steam engine to navigation. —London Standard. are covered by tie ume guarantee.

You see, it is badly skinned. Also there is a black mark on his left cuff. Now let us see what we must make of this. When a left handed man pokes up the furnace tire, how does he do it* By putting his left hand forward, of course. Thus it happened that it was his left hand which scraped against the furnace door. The blackened cuff shows that it was a furnace door. Having this foundation to work upon, the rest is easy. If he lived in a flat, he would have no furnace to look after, and if his wife w^re not afraid ot the hired girl they would make' the latter do the poking up. It is all very simple if one's perceptive faculties are properly trained. l i e can't really afford to live in a house, because if he could he would have a man to look after the furnace. Therefore he ought to live in a fiat." "But hold on. How do you know the man is married? He can't be over .".( at the m«st. Why may it not be possible that he lives at home with his widowed mother?" "My dear sir," said Sherlock Holmes'. Jr., "I am surprised at your lack of perspicacity.

Once when Mrs. Kendal wns taking the role of Galatea in Dublin she had an amusing experience. Pygmalion, it will be remembered, had a jealous wife. During the temporary absence of that lady Galatea was about to throw herself into the arms of Pygmalion when an old dnme in the audience cried warningly: "Don't do it, darlint! His wife's just gone out, and shure it'll be like her to be listenin at the key bole." S w i n d l e b y P a w n T i c k e t s . The most lucrative game which New York swindlers work on the credulous and eager New Yorkers themselves continues to be the bogus or false pawn ticket swindle. It is not unknown in Chicago, and it has so many fine points about it, all of them appealing to the man who loves to make a few dollars on the side, that the rogues who work it are never out of customers. The simplest method is for the swindler to tell his intended victim he has in pawn a ring or gem worth $100. He claims to have pawned it for only $2.">. and rather than lose the difference between the real value and the amount for which he pawned it he will give the customer a rare bargain. There is $25 due the pawnbroker, besides $5 interest, leaving an equity of $70. He will sell that equity for just half, or 835. After the victim has paid over the $35 and has redeemed-the pledge he rinds that the real value of the article is $50 to $00 and that he is out $5 to $15. The pawnbroker gets all he loaned, and the original owner makes all the victim overpaid.—Chicago Tribune. * PUBLISHED a V B R T THOB8DAY HORNIWQ BY FRANK L. ANDREWS Editor and Proprietor.

Justice as obtained, in the Chinese courts is a farce. A case occurred while the writer was in China In which a Chinese judge, sitting with an English magistrate, declared that he was obliged to give judgment against the -evidence or he should lose his appoint" ment! The criminal law of China provides that an offender can only be punished if he confesses his guilt, and if he is tardy in conforming to this condition he is compelled to confession by a series of tortures of the most painful and awful character. Superstition is rife from end to end of the land and leads to crueltyjand brutality of the worst description. The system of "squeeze" and extortion which exists throughout the east is found in so aggravated a form in China that it stifles enterprise and prevents expansion of trade and leaves the masses of the people barely with the necessaries of life. while their superiors in position become wealthy by corrupt accumulation. This system of "squeeze," of course, applies to the question of railway construction. One of the most intelligent Chinamen the writer met in Shanghai offered him a concession for a railway from Pekin to Chingkiang, the foremost condition being that the sum of £120,000 in cash should be paid to a leading government official at the cutting of the first sod. As a further illustration it may be pointed out that out of the 13 railway concessions already supposed to be granted (extending about 3,600 miles) not one has as yet been commenced. Capital punishment prevails to an extent few people have any idea of in this country. An important ^Russian official the writer met on his>¥ay from Pekin stated that one of his countrymen had been murdered in Manchuria by a Chinaman. They wished to punish him in such a way and at such a place as would convey the strongest warning to others, but they found that it would be useless to execute him in his native town, as no less than 2,000 persons had ended their lives in this way in the previous 12 months!—Emerson Eainbridge, M.

Her nerves were excited all day, and when night came she just couldn't find the courage. It is the old story of weakness and nervousness taking the pleasure out of life and filling it with discontent and suffering. It is not honest fatigue resulting from the daily task; it is weariness born of weakness and ill health. The ideal strengthener for weajr. women is Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and -nerve remedy. It builds them up in every way by toning up the blood and strengthening the nerves. Nothing else in tho world can do Nervura's work. It seeks out the weak spots and strengthens them. It enriches the blood and gives it a healthy circulation, thus putting new life into the entire body. Strength to overcome the general discouragement is followed by the ambition to be well. A few nights of sound, refreshing sleep brings a new sensation of acquired strength. ^ How ready now is this woman for every duty and every plan for pleasure t Tho Dr. Greene's NERVURA FOR THE BLOOD AND NERVES. new color in her cheeks shows the potent work of the vegetable elements in Nervura. This w o m a n is now a cured woman, and such transformations are occurring in every community through the use of Dr.Greene's Nervura. If you are run-down and discouraged, here is the certain help. MRS. OLIVER WILSON, of Northboro, Mass., says: " I was suffering from nervousness, caused by female weakness and nervous prostration, I was so nervous and weak I could not go up a common pair of stairs without stopping to rest, and troubled to sleep at night. I took Dr. Greene's Nervura and have obtained ray old elastic step around the houso. After creeping around for two years, hardly able to do anything, it has proved a boon to me truly. READ DR.
