The etraager ceased to speak, and Mr. Cowley stared at him with much bewilderment "How did you know all this?" he 4flked at laat "Becauae I am Stanley Vernon, the •only brother of that unhappy man," he said* totally. Rose uttered a little cry of astonish-' ment "Yes;' he added, "this shameful family history made me almost loathe my name. I have borne that of Vere for many years. Under that name I met and loved your daughter, sir—under my own, I shall soon ask you for her hand! But for the present let it be my task to clear up this mystery. ul came home from Italy as soon -as I heard this house was let. It was a mistake upon the part of the agent; but I should be the last on .earth to regret it. But I must take precaution against a similar event. This is no fit habitation for any one." "Then it is really haunted~P asked Mr. Cowley. "I fear it is. Rose, will you go to your mother, and, gentlemen, will you follow me." They obeyed him without a word. He went straight to the butler's pantry and took up a spake and pickaxe, already placed there by Mr. Cowley. My brother's wife died delirious, and no one ever knew where she had buried the child, which I was quite certain she had destroyed. I had my suspicions at the time, but I longed to hush the whole thing up as speedily as possible. Now, however, all must be made clear." With a few vigorous'str^esTTie'took up the floor of the room. A tiny skeleton, half-bedded in the moist ground, met their eyes, and Mr. Cowley turned aside to hide his tears. "Poor thing!" he said sadly, "Charles, don't tell your aunt, or wife, or cousins, but get them away—take them to the town this very afternoon. xMr. Vernon and I will follow as soon as this poor little creature has been properly buried. There, go, my dear boy, and, above all, not a word to the girls of what we have found today." •a * * * * * 'So Mrs. Cowley had her way, after all, and spent a happy Christmas Day at Mecklenburgh Square, surrounded by all the members of her family, and waited upon at table by no less a person than Mrs. Macarthy, to whom she clung as a kind of fellow sufferer from the whims of the head of the house. Christmas and New Year's Day having passed gaily away, there only remained the wedding of Rose, and for that I need not hint that the greatest preparations were made. The happy day came slowly on. The tidings of the romantic betrothal had awakened much curiosity among those to whom the pair were known, and the kchurch was crowded when the carriage drove to the door. Rose faltered slightly as she stood on the threshold of the church and jgazed upon the concourse of people; tout a glance from the dear companion at her side reassured her, and calm and happy she moved onward and took her place before the altar. Not to the haunted house, however, but to a pleasant villa upon the seacoast, Mr. Vernon took his fair young bride. And as they sat hand in hand in their new home—the doubts and follies of the past all forgotten and forgiven— the moon rose slowly above the water, and a bright path stretching out over the waves of life's sea, and waiting but for the footsteps, seemed lying there before them. He put the fancy into words, and whispered it to Rose. She looked up in his face with a frank, truth-telling gaae. Those were the very soft, clear eyes, clear and^ quiet as a mountain lake, yet with a slight shadow in their depth, that seemed to tell of stormier elements below, of which he had dreamed for years, and wfcTcI Ee^^acTonTy" seen twice in his life—once in a picture of the Virgin by Murillc— once here! Here was the only heart his own had sought—the only being for whom he had ever really suffered the pangs and pleasures of that mad fever which we call by the name of love. No other could claim her from him, no other could watch that bright young face in all its bewitching changes. No other could rest that pretty head upon his bosom, and play with those silky curls. No other kiss the broad, high forehead, the beautiful eyes, or the full, warm, loving lips! But still he murmured in hjer-eac—as-he held her. closely to his heart that first evening in their common home, "Are you happy, Rose? Are you sure you are happy?" There was no need to ask that question. A perfect stranger coming into that pretty cottage by the deep blue sea might well have answered it for him. « It was a pleasant spot: rone the less so, that everywhere were traces of the presence of its pretty mistress. A spaking portrait hung over the piano, a smile lingering archly on its parted lips; her favorite book* were on the table; her little dog played about the grounds; her horse neighed in the stable, and a rafry-lIke~Tjbat, DearThg~Ber name upon the stern, rocked at anchor upon the pebbly beach below." Running down the graveled walk, with the little dog barking and leaping at her side, feeding her horse with snowy bread; presiding with all the grace of a woman, yet with the sweet, shy bashfulness of a child, at her table, or singing and playing, after the evening meal, sweet, low ballads and dear old songs such as she loved best, filling every spot with beauty and grace, and forming the delight of her husband's eyes, as well as the yride of his heart—is she not happy? I assure you, dear reader, their home is one of the sweetest spots on earth. And full of content with the bliss or the peaceful present, and the promise of a cloudless future, they have quite forgotten the tragic and painful past, and have no wish to go back to their early years, or to visit that scene of a heart rejected and a slighted love avenged. For Hollow Ash Hall Is a ruin! Given up to the bats and the owls, and carefully avoided by everything human, it has fallen gradually into total decay; but the ground has been sold and an enterprising cockney talks of building a soap factory there—so It is within the bounds of possibility that the ghost may yet be exorcised by alkalies and noxious gases. Mr. and Mrs. Cowley still reside in Mechlenburgh Square, with their nephew and niece; and Mrs. Macarthy now reigns supreme over the whole household. But Catharine Is no longer with them; she is tin wife of a dashing Guardsman, and poes to Court, and is so fine, generally, that so humble a pen as mine shrinks nervously from attempting to record her daily life. George Vernon die-rl penniless and forsaken in Australia soon after the mystery of Hollow Ash Hall was made clear. THE END. ^ 0 ¾ ¾ ^ ^ ^ - _ -^ 1 >- m A Character O U S l c ! Sketch B y P h i l i p V e r r i l l M i g h e l s CHAPTER I. Down through the grey of the sagebrush, on a hill that was jeweled with patches of the melting snow of winter all but gone, shambling alone as lazily as the blear-eyed dog at his heels, a Washoe Indian of Western Nevada arrived at the edge of a hurrying brook. Removing a hat, all battered and fuz- • sy, that once had been of silk and proudly high, he gruntingly descended to lie on his stomach at the selvedge green of the water's brink and thrust in his lips for a short, eager drink. The dog lapped above him. Both returned the march again, for the Indian school was near at hand and the way . all a carpet of stubble. To the kitchen door the Washoe •touched, and awed the young mahalaa, who, with red la their facet from the glowing range, were up to their elbow3 in the arts of civilized cooking. "Injun Jim, he's wants my Injun girl!" he announced. "Lordee!" cried the teacher, jumping nervously, "you frightful object! You startled me dreadful. Now, what in the name of goodness do you want?" The Indian maidens stood In attitudes of stoic amazement—one excepted. She, the brightest and the tallest, merely gazed at the visitor in dumb appeal, her hands going slowly, reluctantly back to the strings of the apron that hung about her waist. "Injun Jim, he's wants my Injun girl!" the Washoe repeated. "Want what?" screamed the teacher. "Want Susie? Nonsense, you dirty old thing! You're supposed to be dead; we have all believed you dead and you plenty biscuit-Iahpoo. Your Sus!« go to school—she very smart girl." "No biscult-lah-poo. Heap ketchum erirl, you sabbes? What's Injun goin do at white man's school? He's don"t learn nuthin' goot for us. He's heap Injun all same. Injuns can't vote; Injuns can't make no laws. Heap no goot, you sabbe??" The woman wa,s speechless. She started abruptly to run to the agent, but suddenly halted, remembering sharply that against the wishes of as Indian parent the government was powerless to hold a pupil. A silence fell on the Indian maidens and the baffled teacher. A few quick words in the Washoe tongue delivered by the father to his child and Susie laid her apron on the table. Then silently she walked to her teacher, kissed- her ttafbtly on the hair and turned to follow where the man already shambled slowly toward the brush. Her head bowed submissively forward, her hands hanging listless at her.side, she trod in his trail, and the dog shuffled patiently behind. The sun was casting long, slender filaments of shadows. Into its ruddy glory passed the silent procession, out through Jtho paths of the grey, lonely sage brush, over the flat and the ridges to the foothills far across the valley. Late in the darkness shone at length the dim red eye of the dark and smoky wigwam; and there at last, on the chilling earth, sat Susie in the night, and watching the greying "of the glow to the death^ her chin on her breast, her finger8 idly toying with a rounded bit of pebble. There in the morning Wanda, the mother, whined with her wrinkled mouth and bade the silent Susie stand and go to Chloride Hill, to beg at the rear of the cabins. Together they went, while her father wrapped his blanket about him and strode away, with his dog, in search of others in the mining camp, whose worldly possessions he hoped to win at the subtleties of "Pass the stick." Winding through the stuntad brush the women came to the outlying houses. A door at the back of one of these'was standing awfde. A man within was clattering dishes, cups of tin and iron knives and forks, to a clumsy pyramid on the table. "Here," said he, when he found the mahala gazing in, "squaw, heap wash 'um dishes, sabee? Two-bits, plenty grub I give; mahala wash table, dishes, floor—hey?" At the mention of 25 cents the woman waa oddly alive. With many a grunt and with plenty of hybrid whistle- and-mutter, she Impressed the girl to the service. The man made ready for departing to the mine that was on the hill. "Come every day." he presently added, after glancing keenly at Susie, as he piled some food on a stool near by ahd brought up the money from a pocket. "I pay every week for wash 'um floor and dishes." The girl, when he went, proceeded deftly to cleaning the table and placing utensils and dishes in order—the order they taught at the school. It gave her a pleasure, but of this and of other emotions there was never a sign. Day after day she returned, not alone. Her mother went begging at other of the cabins. With hands caressful— and rounded hands oC dimpled broaze they were—ske touched these kitchen possessions fondly and with grateful dveams of the school across the valley. "See here/' said the man one morninsr, as he watched her at the labor, "you needn't scrub the floor, I guess. I hate to see a woman doing that." "I thank you," she quietly replied, "but I like to do'it. 1 like to see it clean." He looked at her astonished. "Where in the world did you learn your English?" he rudely inquired. She blushed beneath the softened bronze of her rounded checks, and the lasiics drew her eyelids ti«midly down to curtain the wide-open orbs of dark and lustrous onyx. "At the Institute." she faintly answered. "Oh! Wc:i, the dishes I like to have you fix, of course, but not the floor, please." •She reddened again, and shot him a glance that resemblod the questioning gaze of a doe, not trained to fear, yet always shy. "If you—care for—books—or anything here—you're welcome," he stammered, and walked away. He beat himself a blow on the breast, yet he knew not why, and shook himself in the breeze that blew.

The earth is being put to a new use. It has been turned Into hair dye. Not all the earth, by any means. Only one little corner of it—a little red clay corner in this state, says a Denver writer. If you ask Mrs. Frances Sherman where that corner is she will reply: 'That's my secret." And you really can't blame her when you consider that if we knew the secret we could all come to Colorado and pick up a pnftVfltfni of cJay Jumps which would turn us into auburn-haired beauties within a day. No wonder Mrs. Sherman prefers to keep her clay bed as her own property. Nothing but a common reddish-brown clay it is to all appearances, and what magical chemical properties lurk in it she does not know. All she does knows of its workings is that, applied to the hair it changes it to a dark shade of reddish gold, such a shade as no other hair dye has ever succeeded in producing. It is only a few weeks since she learned the secret of the clay, and. at first she exprimented with it very gingerly. She tried it on locks of hair that she cut from ai iterenTh^dsrand iirevery casethe same results occurred. The hair was dyed to a beautiful shade of brown, having a bright tinge, and was darker or lighter, according to the length of time of the application. Its preparation is a slow one. First it must be ground into a mortar; next it is put through an 80-sieve, which means a fine one; fins* iy it is sifted through bolting cloth. The lumps of hard red clay, which look very much like adobe, come out from the bolting cloth operation in the form of a fine powder. From this it has been found that two kinds of dye can be made. For one, the powdered earth is simply mixed with water until it becomes a stiff paste, and there you are. For the other, the clay and water paste is baked until it turns an inky black. The baked clay is used for the darkest shades of dye. Never was anything more simple than the use of the dye. It is applied warm—that is, all that has to be remembered. The operator warms the pan of paste, then with a brush dipped in It, goes carefully all over the hair, brushing the paste fn from roots to ends. It is a queer thing that ft does not in any way affect the skin or scalp where it touches, although ft has so ^ulck an effect upon the hair. It washes off readily from the skin. Mrs. Sherman is a pioneer in the use of the X-ray for scalp treatment and also as a physician of many years' standing on matters connected with the hair she has experimented most carefully and thoroughly with this new discovery. All the gray hairs must be captured and colored, and this takes a great deal of time and much patience, but once done the job is over until the new hair begins to grow out after some months. It has been proved that the dye is permanent. Whatever shade it gives after being applied that shade it keeps forever after, and there is no daue^r of waking up some day to' find yourself a green-haired lady or a blue-beard\ as in the days of old-time hair dyeB. The chemical properties of the clay are so powerful that one application is all that is needed. After the paste has been thoroughly brushed in, the pastee sits, in all the patience with which she can possess her soul, for so long as the desired color requires. A lisrht shape close to a Titian takes only two hours' waiting: the darkest auburn wants twelve hours. At the end of that tfme she is shampooed in half a do^en waters, and then she may face herself in the glass and get acquainted with her new appearance. not 9?er twenty ieet high. The flow* era are much like the lily of the valley. They are pale and very fragrant. The nutmeg is the seed of the fruit, and mace is the thin covering over the seed. The fruit fs about as large as a peach. When ripe it breaks open and shows the little nut inside. The trees grow on the islands of Asia and in tropical America. They bear fruit seventy or eighty years, having ripe fruit upon them all the seasons. A fine tree in Jamaica has oyer 4,000 nutmegs on it yearly. The Dutch used to have all this nutmeg trade, as they owned the Bands islands, and conquered all the other traders and1 destroyed the trees. To keep the price up they at once burned /three pile* of nutmegs, each of which was as Ifcrg? as a church. Nature did not synrptt- M.hlze with such meanness. The nutmag pigeon, fminrt fn all the, Indian_ islands, did for the world what the Dutch had determined could not b> done—carried those nuts, which are their food, into all the surrounding countries, and trees grew again and) the world had the benefit.

She was so very bad that for the last three years she has not been able to wear her shoes. She had doctored all the time, but was gradually getting worse. Last winter Mr. Flanlgan, who was jrery much discouraged, called for some medicine at Mr. J. J. Dale's drug store in Carmi. Mr. Dale persuaded him to have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and he bought six boxes. His wife used five out of the six, before she was entirely cured. She is now as sound and as well as ever she was, completely restored to health, and free from any symptom whatever of dropsy. To say that Mrs. Flanlgan is pleased at her wonderful deliverance does not half express her feelings, and she and Mr. Flanlgan are loud in their praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of Mr. Dale for recommending this wonderful remedy to them. The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills cured Mrs. Flanlgan of such a severe case of dropsy, after the doctors had given her up, has made them the most talked of remedy ever known in White county. • • • • " ' - r - " | I — N*>«r YorK'* D e a t h R a t e .

The "brush and cultivator" ||ietbod of fighting the pea louse is accepted us the most generally effective. For this it is necessary that the peas be planted in rows, and when the insects are noticed the vines are brushed backward and forward with a good pine switch in ront of a cultivator drawn by a single ,\orse. In this manner the plant lice ire covered up as soon as they fall to the ground, and a large proportion of them are destroyed. Peas &awu late or on poor ground sustain most damage.

Tbe essential features of such an apparatus are a force pump, several yards of one-half inch cloth reenforced hose with bamboo hoisting rod and a spray tip. The size of the apparatus will depend on the amount of vegetation to be treated. For limited garden work and for the treatment of low plants the knapsack pumps or the small buiket force pumps are suitable, the former costing about $14 and the latter from $1! to $0. Ready fitted pumps—knapsacks and others—for the application of insecticides are now made by all the leading pump manufacturers of this country and also large reservoirs with pump attached for extended orchard operations, the price of the latter ranging from $25 to $75. The cost of a spraying outfit for orchard work may be greatly reduced by combining a suitable pump and fixtures with a home constructed tank or barrel to be mounted on a cart or wagon.

On a cold night in winter a traveler called at his house for lodg- I n g * f h e ready hospitality of the justice was about being displayed, when the traveler unluckily uttered a word which his host considered profane. Upon tills he iuformed his guest that be was a magistrate, pointed out the nature of the offense and explained tbe necessity of its being expiated by sitting an hour .u the stocks. Remonstrance was unavailing, for custom at that time allowed the magistrate to convict and punish at once, and in this case be acted as accuser, witness, jury, judge and sheriff, all in one. Cold as it was our worthy justice, aided by his son, couducted the traveler to the place of punishment, an open place near the meetfhg~house where the stocks were placed. Here the traveler was confined in the usual manner, the benevolent executor of the law remaining with him to beguile the time of its tedium by edifying conversation. At the expiration of the hour he was reconducted to the house and hospitably entertained till the next morning, when the traveler departed with, let us hope, a determination to consider his words more carefully before giving them utterance in the hearing of a con- Brlpntlons maclstrate.

PlJES. O r i g i n of "Whiff." Several reasons have been assigned to account for the word "Whig." universally known to all the English speaking people. By some the word is supposed to be a contraction of a longer one, "whiggamore," which in some parts of England and Scotland, especially Scotland, signifies a drover or herder. I t . w a s in 1079 that the word first became common in tfte-JMtish isles, when the struggle was in progress between the peasantry and the aristocracy to have or not to have the bill passed by parliament to exclude the Duke of York from the line of succession. All who were opposed to placing the duke in the line of succession were derisively called "whiggamores," or "drovers," just as the city dude of today speakers of the "grangers," tbe "grays," the "chin whiskers" and the "hayseeders." But Scotch tradition gives altogether a different reason for the existence of the word. It Is this: During the early religious wars iu Scotland the weakest of the factions used the words "We Ilcpe hi Co 1" as n motto.' The initials of i!;"s.' word* were placed ou I heir bauneis thus.

The new pest, the destructive pea aphis, has in the last two years inflicted enormous losses in various regions where peas are grown for canneries, as Maryland, Delaware. New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. Michigan and Wisconsin also have suffered from it. Some of the scientists claim that it is naturally more an enemy of clover thao T B S DESTBUCOTS PEA L0U8B. of peas. An encouraging feature noted in Canada is that wherever tbe aphis occurred It was attacked by parasitic enemies, tbe most vigorous of these being tbe small orange larvae of a specie* of dlplosls — minute maggots - which throwing a stream of the liquid back into the tank. Many of the larger pumps arc now constructed with two discharge orifices with this latter object in view or are provided with special agitators, and the use of such is recommended. In spraying orchard trees it will be found convenient in going between the rows to spray on each side, half of each tree in the row at a time and finish on the return rather than attempt to spray ail sides of one tree before taking up another. The object in spraying is to coat every leaf and part of the plant as lightly as compatible with thoroughness, and to avoid waste in doing this a mist spray is essential. The application to any part should stop when water begins to drip from the leaves. A light rain will not remove the poison, but a dashing one will probably necessitate a renewal of the application. > AHD STEAMSHIP LINES.

Continued low temperatures which were continuously from f> to 11 degrees below normal, high relative humidity, considerable cloudiness and light showers during the past week have greatly delayed field work and almost checked the growth of much vegetation, and the germination of corn. The cool, damp weather has been favorable to wheat, rye, grass and pastures. Gi*eat damage on account of the r a v n g e s o f the Hessian lly in wheat is reported. This damage is almost general in the three southern tiers of counties, correspondents saying that wheat is crinkling and filling rapidly. Oats have made fair progress, but are rather short.

Field Marshal Count von Waldersc* has relinquished bis command and left Pekin. The officials of the Russian foreign office state that contrary to certain reports Russia has never favored the notion of all the constitutional power* guaranteeing the Chinese loan. She replied in term* similar to t h e U. S. that the executive could not guarantee without the consent of the legislative branches. Russia prefers a speedy settlement to a guarantee. The officials also say it is not true that Russia is bitter atrainst Britain for offering the plan now discussed. Her relations with Great Britain are nearer than for a long time. The Chinese express great satisfaction at the announcement of the intention of the c »urt to return to Pekin . in September, AU the foreign troops,, with the exception of the legation guards, are expected to withdraw ere the middle of that month, the only troops not already under orders of withdrawal being the Japanese, wnose government is sending reliefs.

Living representatives of four generations of one family are not uncommon. In the United "States, but living representatives of four generations who all have the same birthday anniversary are surely not frequently met with.

It shows that in the 10 years subsequent to 1S90 outexports to these three countries rose from 89,000,000 to nearly 829,000.000. Our imports from Scandinavia are very small, being below 84.000,000 in 1890 "and only a little more than 85,000,000 in 1900, which was the record year in imports. Denmark is the principal factor in our Scandinavian trade, the exports to that country for 1900 havlng~ a value of more than SIS70TJ37*W9T--- while the combined shipments to Sweden and Norway were valued at about 810,0()0,000. 'Twas a Holt! IIuUl-Up. One of the most d riny hold-ups ever perpetrated in Pennsylvania took place in Ell wood City on the 3d.

Tne hold-up men seized him by the throat, and made off with the cash. A posse was hastily organized and came upon the highwaymen about two miles from the scene of the robbery. A heavy exchange of shots took place between pursuers and pursued. One of the robbers was crippled by a shot and was an easy victim, while the leader was captured after his ammunition exhausted. Over $400 was found on the second robber's person, but the third man escaped, and is yet at large with 81,700 of the stolen money. According to a dispatch from Lord Kitcl ener.

Condtmn* tfc# Method* of Speculation ' That Hat • Tendency to Male* Mankind Overlook the iteal Purpose* of Oar Live* (Copyright, 1901, by Louis Klopsch, N. 7.) Wtuutl&gton, June y.—In this discourse Dr. Taiinage arraigns the spirit of wild speculation and gives some account of the financial ruin of other days; Proverbs, xxiii, 5, ' 'Riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven." Money is a golden breasted bird with diver beak. It alights on the office desk or on the parlor centpr* table. Men and women stand and admire it. They do not notice that it has wings larger than a raven's, larger than a flam in*- go's, larger than an eagle's. One wave of the hand of misfortune and it spreads its beautiful plumage and is gone—"as an eagle toward heaven," my text says,though sometimes I think it goes in the other direction. Wall 8tre«-t Condemned* What a verification we have had of the flying capacity of riches in Wall street? And Wall street is one of the •longest streets in the world. It does not begin at the foot of Trinity church, New Yprk, and end at the East river, as many suppose. It reaches through all our American cities and across the sea. Encouraged by the revival of trade and by the fact that Wall street disasters of other years were so far back as to be forgotten, speculators _run_Jip_ the stocks from point to point until innocent people on the outside suppose that the stocks would always continue to ascend. They gather in from all parts of the country. Large aum*. of money are taken into Wall street and small sums of money. The crash ccmes, thank God, in time to warn off a great many who who were on their way thither, for the sadness of the thing is that a great many of the young men of our cities who save a little money for the purpose of starting themselves in business and who-have ¢500 ~or $1,COT or ¢2,000 or $10,000'go into Wall street and lose all. And if there ever was a time for the pulpit to speak out in regard to certain kinds of nefarious enterprises now is the time. Stocks rose and fell, and now they begin to rise again, and they will fall again until thousands of young men will be ruined unless the printing pres3 and the pulpit give emphatic utterance. My counsel is to countrymen, so far as they may hear of this discourse, if they hr ve surplus to invest it in first mortgages and in moneyed institutions which, though paying comparatively small interest, are sound and safe beyond dispute, and to stand clear of the Wall street vortex, where so maiiy have been swamped and swallowed. What a compliment it is to the healthy condition of our country that these recent disasters have in no way depressed trade! I thank God that Wall street's capacity to blast this country lias gone forever. A Btreot wltu a History. Across the island oi New York In 1G35 a wall made of stone and earth and cannon mounted was built to keep off the savages. Along by that wall a street was laid out, and as the street followed the line of the wall it was appropriately called w a n street. It is narrow, it is unarchitectural, and yet Its history is unique. Excepting Lombard street, London, it Is the mightiest street on this planet. There the government of the United States was born. There Washington held his levees. There Mrs. Adams and .*lrs. Caldwell and Mrs. Knox and otuer brilliant women of the Revolr-.ion displayed their charms. There Vfitherspoon and Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefleld sometimes preached. There Dr. Mason chided Alexander Hamilton for writing the constitution of the United States without any God In it. There negroes were sold in the slave mart. There criminals were harnessed to wheelbarrows and, like beasts of burden, compelled to draw or were lashed through the street behind carts to which they were fastened. Their fortunes havu come to coronation or burial since the day when reckless speculators in powdered hair and silver shoe buckles dodged Dr. r.n, the governor general of his majesty, clear down to yesterday at 3 o'clock. The history of Wall street is to a certain extent the financial, commercial, agricultural, mining, literary, artistic, moral and religious history of this country. They are the best men in this Country and there are the worst. Everything from unswerving integrity to tip-top scoundrelism— everything from heaven born charity to bloodless Shylockism. I want to put the plow in at the curbstone of Trinity and drive it clear through; to Wall street ferry. And so it shall go if the hor-ses are strong enough to draw the p!ow. • * * * JaatlSahla Speculation. Again, I have to remark that Wall street is a type throughout the country of legitimate speculation o a the one hand and of ruinous gambling on the other. Almost every merchant is to some extant a speculator. He depends a o t •mUr opoa t b * difference between the goods and the retail at which he disposes of them, but also upon the' fluctuation of the markets. If the markets greatly rise, he greatly gains. If the markets greatly sink, he greatly loses. It is as honest to deal in stocks as to deal in iron or coal or hardware or dry goods. He who condemns all stock dealings as though they were iniquitous simply shows his own ignorance. Stop all legitimate speculation in this country and you stop.ail banks, you stop all factories, you stop all storehouses, you stop all the great financial prosperities of this country. A stock dealer is only a commission merchant under another name. He gets his commission on one style of goods. You, the grocer, get your commission on another style of goods. The dollar that he makes Is Just as bright and fair and honest a dollar as the dollar earned by the day laborer. But here we must draw the line between legitimate speculation and ruinous gambling. You, a stock operator without any property behind you, financially irresponsible, sell $100 of nothing and get paid for it. You sell 100 shares at $10,000 at 3d days. If at the end of 30 days you can get the scrip for $9,000, you have made a thousand. If at the end of SO days you have to pay $11,000, then you have lost a thousand. Now that is trafficking in fiction; that is betting on chances; that involves the spirit of gambling as much as anything that ever goes on in the lowest gambling hell. HU tor leal Gambling Scheme. But France must have its gambling expedttton^and that waa-in 1716. John Law's Mississippi scheme, it was called. The French had heard that this American continent was built out of solid gold, and the project was to take it acroaa_the ocean and drop it in France. Excitement beyond anything that had yet been seen in the world. Three hundred thousand applicants for shares. Excitement s o great that sometimes the mounted military had to disperse the crowds that had come to buy the stock. Five hundred temporary tents built to accommodate the people until they could have opportunity of interviewing John Law. A lady of great fashion had her coachman upset her near the place where John Law was passing in order that she might have an interview with that benevolent and sympathetic gentleman. Stocks went up to 2,050 per cent, until one day suspicion got into the market, and down it all went —John Law's Mississippi scheme— burying its projector and some cf the greatest financiers i n ^ l l France, and was almost as bad as a French revolution. Sedate England took its chance in 1720. That was the South Sea bubble. They, proposed to transfer all the gold of Peru and Mexico and the islands of the sea to England. Five millions' worth of shares were put on the market at £o00 a share. The books open, in a few days it was all taken and twice the amount subscribed. Excitement followed excitement until all kinds of gambling projects came forth under the wing of this South Sea -enterprise.—JTbxrs~^wa^~^~laTg«~CTj pany formed with great capital for providing funerals for all parts of the land. Another company with large capital—£5,000,000 of capital—to develop a wheel in perpetual motion. Another company with a capital of £4,- 000,000 to insure people against loss by servants. Another company with £ 2 , - 500,000- capital to transplant walnut trees from Virginia to England. Then, to cap the climax, a company was formed for "a great undertaking, nobody to know what it is." And, lo, £600,000 in shares were offered at £100 a share. Books were opened at 9 o'clock in the morning and closed at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the first day it was all subscribed. "A great undertaking, nobody to know what it is."- Th* I-Argest Swindle*. But it was left for our own country to surpass all. about thirty-seven years ago. We have the highest mountains and the greatest-- cataracts and the longest rivers, and, of course, we had J to have the largest swindle. One would have thought that the nation j had seen enough in that direction dur- | ing the morus multicaulis excitement. ! when almost every man had a bunch of crawling silkworms in his house, out of which he expected to mako a fortune. But all this excitement wa3 as nothing compared with what took place in 1864 when a man near Titusvllle, Pa., digging for a well, struck oil. Twelve hundred oil companies call for a billion of stock. Prominent members of churches, as soon as a certain amount of stock was assigned them, saw it was their privilege to become presidents or secretaries or members of the board of direction. Some of these companies never had a foot of ground, never expected to have. Their entire equipment was a map of a region where oil might be and two vials of grease, crude and clarified. People rushed down from all parts of the country by the first train and put their hard earnings tn the gulf. A young man came down from the oil regions of Pennsylvania utterly demonted, having sold his farm at a fabulous price be* cause it was supposed there might be oil there—coming to a hotel in Philadelphia at the time I was living there,' throwing down a $5,0w check to pay for his noonday meal and saying he did not care anything about the change! Then he stepped back to the gas burner to lighf his cigar with a $1,000 note. Utterly insane. Frayer for Sacoe** O men of Wall street and of all streets, stand back from the nefarious enterprises. J o i n that - great company | of Christian men who are maintaining their integrity, notwithstanding all the pressure of temptation. In the morning, when you open business in the broker's office or in the banking bouse, ask God's blessing, and w h e n you close it pronounce a benediction upon it. A kind of business that men cannot engage in without prayer is no business for you. I wish that the words of George Peabody, uttered in the hearing of the people of his native town—Danvers, Mass.—I wish that those words could be uttered in the hearing of all young men throughout the land. He said: "Though Providence has granted me unvaried and universal success In the pursuit of fortune in other lands I am still in heart the humble boy who left yonder unpretending dwelling. There is not a youth within the sound of my voice whose early opportunities and advantages are not very much greater than were my own, and I have since achieved nothing that is impossible to the most humble boy among you." George Peabody's success* in business was not more remarkable than his integrity and his great hearted benevolence. I pray uporryi protecting and prospering blessing. I hope you may all make fortunes for time and fortunes for eternity. The Day of Accounting. Some day when you come out of your place of business and you go to the clearing house or the place of custom or the bank or your own home—as you come out of your place of business just look up at the clock in the tower and see by the movement of the hands how your life is rapidly going away and be reminded of the fact that before God's throne of inexorable judgment you must yet give account for what you have done since the day you sold the first yard of cloth or the first pound of 3Ugar. I pray for you all prosperity. Stand close by Christ, and Christ will stand close by you. The greater the temptation the more magnificent the reward. But, alas, for the stock gambler— what will he do in the judgment? That day will settle everything. That to the stock gambler will be a "break" at the "first call." No smuggling into heaven.' No "collaterals" on which to trade your way in. Go in through Christ the Lord or you will forever stay out. God forbid that after you have done your last day's work on earth and the hushed assembly stands around with bowed heads at your obsequies—God forbid that the most appropriate text for your funeral oration should be, "As a partridge sltteth on eggs and hatcheth them not, so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at the end he shall be a fool," or that them^sralSpTbprTate funeral psalm should be the words of the poet: Price of many a crime u n t o l d - Gold, gold, gold, gold.

A Rostian Surgeon Perform* an Operation Ueretoiore Regarded a« Flatly ImpoMlble—Dr. KalnUfcy Cute AwaT About Four lachee of. an Armory* T H E ROOSTER IS M U T E N O W . Hut I t Goes to Alt the Trouble That Accompanies Crowing. Now that warm weather is at hand and windows are open in the early morning, many complaints are being received by the police about the crowing and cackling of chickjens kept by persons in the residence~~portion of the city, says the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun.The police regulations prohibit the keeping of such fowls when they are an annoyance, and a fine on the owner may be imposed. Inquiry at police headquarters to-day elicited the information that such complaints should be supported by the testimony of two witnesses from different houses to show that the noise is a nuisance. In this connection a story was t o d of a man in the northwestern section whD had a rooster whose crowing qualities were of the best and whose voice could be heard all over the neighborhood. Finally his neighbors could endure the noise no longer and they hauled the owner of the rooster into court. Here he promised the bird should troub'.e them no more, and on that promise was released. The next morning the neighbors saw the rooster in the yard and held an indignation meeting. Calling on the owner, they wanted to know why he had not kept his promise. ' H e asked them If the bird was annoying any one. It had not yet. but they thought it might. He thereupon pointed to the rooster, which was napping its wings and going through all the motions accompanying crowing, but without a sound issuing from his throat, and informed them that he had taken It to a veterinarian, who bad.removed its vocal chords. It is said the antics of the dumb rooster while attempting to crow are most amusing. Surgery has reached a point a t which almost any marvel may be expected, but it has remained for a Russian surgeon to attempt—and succeed in performing— an operation hitherto regarded as flatly impossible. He ha repaired the great femoral artery; has spliced on to it an artificial length just as a plumber might solder a piece of leaden pipe to a brass one. The better to comprehend exactly how radical and difficult a thins Dr. Kaintsky accomplished it is necessary to explain something of t h e nature and functions of arteries. In the first place an artery differs entirely from a vein. If a vein is cut the blood escapes fo a while and after a little the vessel lies fiat and collapsed. An artery does not. Its inner coat is so arranged that a series of stiff fibrous rings surround it and prevent it from collapsing. That is one of the reasons w h y when an artery is severed blood continues to flow from it. These were only some of the problems which confronted Dr. Kaintsky when they brought to his hospital In St. Petersburg a very rich farmer and cattle raiser named Ivan Poitinkosh. This man, while driving in a sleigh, had collided with a stumpT Poitinkosh was hurled out violently and in falling was practically impaled upon a broken branch. The jagged piece of wood struck him just belowthe hip joint and ranged down for about four inches. The wound produced was an exceedingly ugly and ragged one. It was directly over and in line with the fermoral artery, which supplies the entire leg with blood; but, although this great vessel was entirely laid bare and badly bruised it forunately escaped puncture. The injured man was not brought to the hospital unttl three -days after the aeeideat,-and i t was-at once evident to Dr. Kaintsky that only heroic measures would save either life or leg to his patient- It appeared to Dr. Kaintsky that gangrene was threatened. As nearly as the surgeon could estimate he had just three day3 before an operation became absolutely imperative. He had already determined upon the heroic operation of removing the injured part of the femoral artery and replacing it with an artificial substitute. Dr. Kaintsky wanted to make a tube six inches long which so closely resemble the actual tissue of a human artery that it would be borne without protest by the organism in which it was to be placed. At the end of those three days Dr. Kaintsky, tired but triumphant, emerged from his laboratory. Poitinkosh was anaesthetized and carried to the operating table. Dr. Kaintsky pointed out to the watching surgeons and students the signs on the foot of the patient_that marked the onset oi gangrene, and theiTSe told them that he intended to remove part of the injured artery and replace it with an artificial substitute. Under the best conditions the dissection of the femoral artery is a dangerous piece of work, and hers was a case where the vessel was almost concealed by injured tissues. At last the artery was freed and the surgeon showed his wondering assistants that nearly four inches of the vessel was ready to disintegrate. All eyes watched Dr. Kaintsky as he himself placed clamps upon the big artery. The artery clamp having been fixed, Dr. Kaintsky cut away about four inches of the artery. From the pocket in front of his op?rating gown Dr. Kaintsky drew a silver aseptic case. This he opened and from it drew a small, hollow, elastic, almost colorless tube about five inches long. Almost imediatelv Dr. Kaintsky besan to place the artificial artery in position. He drew it between his lingers so as to expel all air and placed a pair of artery forceps upon one end. Then he slipped one end of the artery into the tube and stitched it into place. Quickly the same procedure was carried oa at the other end. and then Dr. Kaintsky removed the clamp whic^i was holding back the blood from th? mended artery. The blood rushed through Its new channel, pumping out the collapsed tube, and it was actually difficult to tell the artificial artery from the real one. At the same instant, too, a good healthy pulsation could be felt in the patient's ankle.— Philadelphia Times.

The wondefHift^slitevoiatnt *of tunneling a. big sNMHlfain at Sherman, Wyo., by the $ « • » facitic, in order to reduce the - ftMlto' a n d shorten the track, has basm satemplished, and on May 1 st reg-ala* jtatwice began on the new line from Batord to Tie Siding, which becomes part of the main line of *'The Overland Route." — The «00 tract for this- work was— awarded about a year ago, and its completion is reckoned one of the most astonishing feats of railroad engineering yet accomplished. Tne general public has no idea of the gigantic fills and marvelous tunnel tag through the Rockies in connection with this work. The Sherman Tunnel, forming a very important part of the project, is situated between Dale Creek and Tie Siding, nearly half a mile long. In the mountain it pierces, is foundjthe Archchean formation, one of the hardest of granite rocks, from which comes Sherman gravel, so extensively used on the Uuion Pacific for ballast. Standing conspicuously out in /this great engineering work are two fills. Lone Tree Fill and Dale Creek FilL The embankment at the last named fill is 145 feet in the highest place, 900 feet long, 40 feet wide at the top, 115 feet at the bottom. The Lone Tree Fill is southeast of the town of Sherman. The embankment is 130 feet high at the highest point. These two fills involved the handling of 500,000 cubic yards of earth and stone. Two other embankments adjacent required the moving of 250,000 yards, so that this particular part of the work, all within a distance of a mile, necessitated the moving of more than ?f>0,- 000 cubic yards of earth and rock. Through the embankments pass large concrete and iron culverts, to provide for the drainage of the large area obtaining on Dale Creek. The famous Dale Creek Bridge will now be a thing of the pust, and the uniqu memorial to the energies and enterprise of the builders of the Union Pacific, known as the Ames Monument, will no longer be seen by tourists. Jn their place thc-new line-abounds with Scenery of grandeur and preat sublimity, and unending attractions all through. The new tunnel is so well constructed with freedom from density of air, that one m.iy see clearly with the naked eye from one end of the tunnel to the other. The saving in motive power to the Union Pacific by the construction of the new line will be immense, and is evidenced by the fact that the maximum- grada per mile is reduced from 97.68 per cent to 43.3 per cent between Bufonl. and Laramie alone. The Union Pacific will now be able to make faster time to all western points, and haul heavier loads than before. Record-* Ii. i't lu C£tlmn»«.

Field* of Wheat in Which the ShorUa Wtr» ?o Thick It Was Almost Impossible to Drive lietween Tbero. To the Editor: A gentleman from Duluth made a trip through a portion of Western Canada last summer and writing of what he saw. says: "Wheat, for instance, will average twenty-five or thirty bushels to the acre. I saw shocks so thick in the field that it would be almost impossible to drive between them. Winters. it is said are longer than near Di>- luth. but the Japan current, warm chinook winds and dry atmosphere make the winters comparatively mild." Thousands of such testimonials are to be had from settlers who have taken advantage of the low-priced lands of Western Canada.

An experiment has been conducted at the Canadian experimental farm duriny the past three years in phmtinf potatoes at different depths in row* 2½ feet apart and l'J inches apart in the rows. The sets had at least three eyes each and were about uniform in size. The soil was sandy loam both years. Level cultivation was adopted, and thus very little soil was thrown on the potatoes after they were covered at the time of plautiug. The best yields were obtained from planting the sets only an inch deep. In 1800 and 1000 it was found that most of the tubers were formed within four inches of the surface of the soil, even where the set had been planted six, seven and eight inches deep. Where the sets were plauted less than four inches deep nearly all the tubers were formed between that and the surface of the soil. The potato grows more rapidly in warm soil than in that which is cooler. The soil within the tirst tliree-ur four inches of the surface is warmer than that three or four iuches lower down; hence the conditions are more favorable for the potato. The tubers when the potato is in the wild state develop near the surface or on the surface of the ground,—It seems natural* therefore, that the cultivated potato should be planted shallow. • Ou the other hand, much of the success of shallow planting will depend News a n d No^a*.

A JOSSHOUSE. on tKenloTsture^T^tue^s^Tt^rihe-sea^ son is very dry. the first two inches of soil may be so dry that the potato will not take root readily, and the season of growth will thUs be shortened. Once the roots begin to grow they speedily reach a depth where plenty of moisture is found. It seems reasonable to conclude that where the soil is uot dry the best results can be obtained from shallow planting. In any case, early planted potatoes will probably succeed best when plauted shallow, as the ground will be wanner. In places where the spring is late or where the ground is cold, best results will probably be had by shallow planting. Although the best results have been obtained in sandy loam soil by planting the sets one inch deep, this method is not recommended for Held culture. Unless the surface of the soil is kept loose and free from weeds, the potato crop will not be large. In order to kill a large proportion of the weeds which grow, the ground should be harrowed once or twice before the potatoes come up or just as they are coming up. If the sets were planted only one inch deep and the soil harrowed, many of them would be dragged out; hence about four inches deep would be tbe best.

In another corner Is a tiny bowl of water. The gods occasionally come down and wash. At certain times of the year di: rect questions are written on slips of paper and put into the hands of one of the greatest josses. These disappear, and then the joss either nods or shakes his head in answer. On the altar or altars are several brass and copper vessels, in which the worshiper leaves a sandalwood punk burning in such a position that the ashes will fall on the fine sand in the vessel. When one of these 4s full, it is emptied into an immense bronze vase on the balcony, and this, in turn, is emptied Into the ocean.

From 18 inches to 2 feet of tbe bottom of the partition or fence, as tbe case may be, is made to swing, being fastened by strong hinges to the parallel boards above. When feed is being placed in the trough, this Is allowed to hang in its natural position and is secured there by the lever whose lower end catches on the Inside of the trough, as shown in the upper figure. After the feed is ready the lever is pushed to one side until its lower end clears the Inside of the trough, and the partition is then swung out and secured to the outer edge of the trough by the lever again being pushed In position. The lever is attached to tbe swinging partition by a single bolt. This arrangement keeps the hogs away from the trough until the feed is distributed ready for them and also keeps them from getting their feet in tbe trough while eating. THE TALE OF A TACK. / How an Italian Tenor Was Enabled to Reach High C. "There was once an Italian tenor at Coveut Garden of the name of Tasca, who, I am sorry to say, sang his own praises better than the score," says Mr. William Parry, the stage director at the Metropolitan Opera House. "For this and other reasons he was strongly disliked by all the workmen. One day he came to me and said, with great show of mystery: " 'Tell me the exact spot.' "I could not for the life of me understand what he wauted. " 'You know well enough what 1 mean,' he persisted. " 'Show me the spot where Tamberlik sang the high C. There is always one spot on the stage that is better than all the others to stand on when you sing. Where is it?' " 'I'll show you later,' 1 replied. 'But, remember, never a word. It would cost me my place if it should leak out* "Then I drove a brass tack into one of the stage boards, and he was overjoyed when I solemnly pointed out the exact spot,' and so were the workmen at the prospect of a joke at his expense. That night he carefully stood on the tack and sang the high C. Rushing into the wings, he exclaimed: 'Beautiful! Wonderful!' Ever afterward, no matter what part of the stage demanded his presence, he would rush to the tack when the time for the high C came and there deliver it."—Saturday Evening Post.

With the death of Hon. Hazen S. Pinwrree, which occurred at the Grand hotel, London, England, Tuesday, June 18, the people of Detroit and Michigan lose their most picturesque politician and public man. Friends and foes unite in pronouncing him one bt the great men of the country—a brave soldier, a daring and successful reformer, a sagacious, vigorous public official and a man of great pergonal integrity and patriotism. In spite of his imperfections, peculiarities and faults and notwithstanding the obstacles thrown in his way by political enemies and corporate interests, P'ngree accomplished in ten years a great deal for municipal reform and more equal taxation., His loss will be more deeply felt in his home city, Detroit, where he has lived since the war and has always identified himself on the side of municipal reform. Four times he was elected mayor or until he was called to the highest office in the state being elected governor for two terms by an overwhelm, mar majority. Had he lived be would have been the next mayor of Detroit. rtotlce. — Pinckney,May27.190L To the patrons of the Pettysville postoffice in the county of Livingston State of Michigan, notice is hereby given that the post office a t Pettysville has this day, May 17, been discontinued by order of Postmaster General.

YA Washington, Jsne 16.—In this disoouraft Dr. T«JUaAf« raise* high expectations of the day when that which 1« now only dimly seen will be fully revealed; text. Job xxri, 14: "Lo, these are parts est his ways. But how little •SK portion ts heard of him? But the thunder of bis power who can under- *tandr The least understood b-lag in the -inrverseisOod. Blasphemous would he any attempt by painting or sculpture ¢0 represent feim. Egyptian hieroglyph* tried to suggest him by putting the figure of an eye upon a sword, implying that God sees and rules, but JfOw imperfect the suggestion! When sre apeak of htm, it is almost always in language figurative. He is "Light" or "Dayspring From on High," or he is a *Hlgh Tower" or the "Fountain of living Waters." His splendor is so great that no man can see htm and live. When the group of great theologians assembled in Westminster abbey for the purpose of making a system oi reiigioas belief, they firstof ail wanted an answer to the question, "Who is God?" No one desired to undertake the answering of that overmastering question. They finally concluded to give the task to the youngest man in the assembly, who happened to be Rer. George Gillespie. He consented to undertake it on the condition that they would first unite with ttm fa prayer for divine direction. He began tile prayer by saying, "O God, thou art a spirit infinite, infinite, eternal and unchangeable in thy being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth." That first sentence •of Gillespie's prayer was unanimously ;adopted by the assembly as the best .definition of God. But, after all, it w^as only a partial success, and after . ererytiiing that language can do when put to Che utmost strain and all we can see of God in the natural world and realize of God in the providential world we are forced to cry out with Jbb an my text: "Lo, these are parts • dt the ways. But how little a portion is heard of him? But the thunder of lite power who can understand?" God's War or Doing. We tfif to satisfy ourselves with saying, "It Is natural law that controls things, grayitatkm is at work, centripetal and centrifugal forces respond to each other." But what is natural law? It is only God's way of doing things. AJ every point in the universe it is <3od's direct and continuous power that controls and harmonises and sustains. That power withdrawn one instant would make the planetary system and afi the worlds which astronomy reveals one universal wreck, bereft hemispheres, dismantled sunsets, dead constsrlaiionB, debris of worlds. What power it must be that keeps the internal fires of our world imprisoned— • only here and there spurting from a ' Gotopaxl, or a Stromboli, or from a Vesuvius, putting Pompeii and Hercuteneum into sepulcher, but for the rmost part the internal fires chained in their cages of rock, and century after century unable to break the chain or burst open the door! What power to keep the component parts of the air in right-proportion, so that all around the world the nations may breathe in Ihealtb, the frosts and the heats h inhered from working universal demolition! Power, as Isaiah says, "to take up the isles as a very little thing," -Ceylon and Borneo and Hawalis as though they were pebbles; power to weigh the "mountains in scales" and fjte "hills in balances"—Tener if e and the Cordilleras. To move a rock we 'must have lever and screw and great •machinery, but God moves the world wMh nothing but a word; power to -create worlds and power to destroy them, as from observation again and again they have been seen red with flame, thon pale vi'.h ashes and then scattered. Working* of the Divine F a w n , We get some little idea of the divine power when we see how it buries the iproudest citi-*» and n:»::.<n&. Ancient Memphis it has troand up i ntil many of its ruins are no larger than your thumb nail and you can hardly find a souvenir large enough to rewind you of your visit. The city of Tyre is under the sea which washes the shore, on which are only a few crumb/ing • pillars left Sodom and Gormorrab are covered by waters so deathful that not a fish can live in them. Babylon tnd Nineyah are so blotted out of existence that not one uninjured sba*t of vthetr ancient splendor remains. Nothing but omnipotence could have put them down and put them under. The antediluvian world was able to send to the postdiluvian world only one ship with a very small passenger list. Omnipotence first roiled the seas over (the land, and then told them to* go J back to their usual channels as rivers <aad lakes and oceans. At omnipotent oocntnaad tit* waters oouudng upon 4kolr preyr^and at rat&ij«4ent command slinking back into their appropriate places. By such reheated we try to arouse our appreciation of what omnipotence is, and our reverence is excited, and our adoration is intensified, but after all we find ourselves at the foot of a mountain we cannot climb, hovering over a depth we cannot fathom, at the rim of a circumference _ , cannot compass, and we feel like first going down on our knees and then ttfee falling fiat upon our faces as we scclaim: "Lo, these are parts of his ways. But how little a portion is heard of him? But the thunder of his power who can understand?" The God of Abraham. A tradition says that Abraham of the Old Testament was when an infant hidden In a cave because of the persecutions of Nimrod. The first time the child came out of the cavern it was night, and he looked up at the star and cried, "This is my God," but the star disappeared, and Abraham said, "No, that cannot be my God." After awhile the moon rose, and Abraham said, "That is my God," but it set, and Abraham was again disappointed. After awhile the sun rose, and he said, "Why, truly, here is my God," but the sun went down,.and Abraham was saddened. Not until the Gqd of the Bible appeared to Abraham was he satisfied, and his faith was so great that he was called "the Father of the Faithful." All that the theologians know of God's wisdom is insignificant compared with the wisdom beyond human comprehension. The .human racenever has had and never will have enough brain or heart to measure the wisdom of God. I can think of only two authors who have expressed the exact facts. The one was Paul; who says, "Oh, the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God, how unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out." The other author was the scientist who composed my text. I think he wrote it during a thunderstorm, for the chapter says much about the clouds and describes the tremor of the earth under the reverberations. Witty writers sometimes depreciate the thunder and say it is the lightning that strikes, but I am sure God thinks well of the thunder, or be would not make so much of it, and all up and down the Bible he uses the thunder to give emphasis. It was the thunder that shook Sinai when the law was given. It was with thunder that the Lord discomfited the PliilisCines at Eben-ezer. Job pictures the warhorse as having a neck clothed with thunder. St. John, in an apocalyptic vision, again and again heard the thunder. The thunder, which is rfbw quite well explained by the electricians, was the overpowering mystery of the ancients, and standing among those mysteries Job exclaimed: "Lo, these are part3 of his ways. But how little a portion is heard of him? But the thunder of his power who can understand? - The Omnipracnce of God. We have all been painfully reminded in our own experiences that we cannot be in two places at the same time. Madler, the astronomer, went on with his explorations until ~he concluded that the star Alcyone, one of the Pleiades, was the center of the universe, and it was a fixed world, and all the other worlds revolved around that world, and some think that that world is heaven and God's throne is there, and there reside the nations of the blest. But he is no more there than he is here. Indeed, Alcyone has been found to be in motion, and it also is revolving around some great center. But no place has yet been found where God is not present by sustaining power. Omnipresence! Who fu.ly appreciates it? Not I. Not you. Sometimes we hear bim in a whisper. Sometimes we hear him in the voice of the storm that jars the Adriondacks. But we cannot swim across this ocean. The finite cannot measure the infinite, We feel as Job did after finding God in the gold mines and the silver mines of Asia, saying, "There is a vein for the silver and a place for the gold where they fine it." And after exploring the heavens as an astromoner and finding God in distant worlds and becoming acquainted with Orion and Mazzaroth and Arcturus and noticing the tides of the sea the inspired poet expresses his incapacity to understand such evidences of wisdom and power and says: "Lo, these are parts of his ways. But hew little a portion is heard of hira? But the thunder of his power who can understand?" So everysystem of theology has attempted to describe and define the divine attribute of love. Easy enough is it to define fatherly love, motherly love, conjugal love, fraternal love, sisterly love and love of country, but the love of God defies all vocabulary. For many hundreds of years poets have tried to sing it and painters have tried to skeich it and ministers of the gospel to preach it and martyrs in the fire and Christians on their deathbeds have extolled it, and we' can tell what it is like, but no one has yet fully told what it is. Men speak of the love of God SB though it were first felt between the pointing of Bethlehem star and the pounding of the crucifixion hammer. But no! Long before that existed the love of God. Sooto«> God Ftoos to Foeo. Only glimpses of God have we in this world, but what an hour it will be when we first sea him, and we will have no more fright than I feel when I now see you. It will not be with mortal eye that we will behold him, but with the vision of a cleansed, forgiven and perfected spirit. Of all the qulntllllon ages of eternity to us the most thrilling hour will be the first hour when we meet him as he is. This may account for something you have all seen and may not have understood. Have you not noticed how that after death of the old Christian looks young again or the features resume the look of 20 or 30 years before? The weariness is gone out of the face; there is something strikingly restful and placid; there is a pleased look where before there was a disturbed look. What has wrought the change? I think the dying Christian saw God. At the moment the soul left the body what the soul saw left its impression on the countenance. I think that is what gave that old Christian face after death the radiant and triumphant look. The bestormed spirit has' reached the harbor; the hard battle of life is ended in victory. The body took that look the moment heaven began, and the curtain was completely lifted and the glories of Jehovah's presence rushed upon the soul. The departing sp'rlt left on the old man's face a glad good- j by, and that first look gave the pleased curve to the dying lip and smootned out the wrinkles and touched all the lineaments with an indescribable radiance. As no one else explains that improved and gladdened post mortem look, I try to explain it, saying: "He saw God!" "She sa w-G^dT 1A BUILDING CEMENT. A VERY IMPORTANT piflCOVRRY BY THOMAS A. LDISON. Urn a s p e c t e So See B i s C « m u t Drtte Oot .yaarrtea Stoao M Hallatos Mstorlol— IavoBttoa Will Fr»cUo**»7 V« * # s y with Keeping Flow e n Freeh. Cut flowers, though universally employed,— are- -seldom- Jtreaied_ as__they_ ought to be, so here are a few hints for those who like to keep their blossoms fresh as long as possible. First of all, they should be put into some large receptacle and sprinkled freeiy with water all over. Only after this preliminary operation it is wise to transfer them to the several pots they are to occupy. They ought to be taken out every morning, sprinkled as on the first day, the tip of the stem then being cut off, and fresh water, flowing from a tap, should be allowed to run over the stalks, holding the flowers head downward, says the Philadelphia Press. Finally, and herein lies the principal secret of success, the water in the vases may be "doctored" in this manner. Mix thoroughly together a tab*espoonful of finely shredded yeiiow soap, enough chloride of sodium to cover a florin, and half a pint of water. Put in a portion of this mixture into every receptacle and fill in the usual way. A pinch of borax in each one will preserve all the coloring of the most brilliant flowers, and by renewing the supply of the above solution every two or three days the flowers will last for a couple of weeks or more. Palms and all foliage plants must be carefully but moderately watered, washed, put outside daily for a bath of air and sunshine and must not be stood in draughty places.— Electricity at Long Rouge. The street cars in Oakland, Cal., are now operated with electricity from the Yuba river, 140 miles distant. The water power, having been converted into electricity, is carried on wires sixtenths of an inch in diameter, made of an alloy of copper and aluminum. The electrical pressure is 40,000 volts, and the loss. In transmission is said to 5 per cent. This is by far the longest electrical transmission system for power purposes in existence, and if the loss is as small as it is stated to be, it is the most promising indication of the possibilities of long-distance transmission yet furnished. "Something like six years ago," says the Railway Engineering Review, "a test of electric transmission oyer a line between Frankfort and Lauffen, in Germany, a distance of 110 mi es, was made for experimental purposes, but not until the test of the plant above referred to has transmission for commercial purposes over a line of such great length been a fact." Thomas A. Edison has discovered how to jnake "Portland cement" at an extremely small cost, says a recent New York dispatch to the Chicago Record-Herald. This statement, at first thought, seems to be comparatively unimporant. .Yet Edison knows the immense value of his discovery. He expects that his cement will drive out quarried stone and brick as bulldtng materials. He foresees as the result of his discovery that it will coat very little to build houses, and that therefore rents will he very low. He <also foresees that these same houses will be as nearly fireproof as concrete and steel frames can makcthern. With cement so cheap a house will be "poured," not builded. And the "pouring" of the house will occupy but a few days. The house will be habitable when the concrete solidifies. For several years Mr. Edison has been working on the recent problem and the problem of making cheap and practical storage batteries. Both inventions have now been perfected. Insurance Engineering, which will be published tomorrow,will contain an interview of its editor with Mr. Bdiaon. The Inventor Bays cement, combined with steel, will be the building material of the future, and continues: "My impression Is that the time will come, when each contractor will have standard forms of houseB, twenty or thirty varieties. The forms will be made of wood, and a contractor, using one of the standard shapes; will simply go out and 'pour' a house. There will probably be hundreds of designs., The contractors will put up their concrete fixer and have their beams and forms ready. They will pour the form for the first story and so on. To do that all they will require will be common labor—a few men and one boss. That is what 1 think will be done eventually. And such a house can be made very cheaply. It seems to me there will not be much use for carpenters then. There will be cabinet makers, to be sure. Why, even the floors and stairs w>H be made of concrete." Mr. Edison was asked if Portland cement would be cheap enough for general use. "Yes, I think so," he said. "When the price of cement gets to be ¢1 a barrel or ¢5 a ton, and people know they can get it for that there will be enormous quantities of it used." | The inventor said that one part of cement, three parts of sand and five parts of broken stone would be the mixture for concrete, and that broken stone was better than brick. In reply to a question as to the thickness of walls in the ordinary house he said: "The bottom course ought to be of Portland cement, twelve inches up to the first story, and eight inches above the first story. The roofs i/ill be of cement also." Five Tdtonts. The last man to gd for a helpfng hand for any new undertaking is the man who has plenty of time on his bands. It is the man and woman who are doing most who are always willing to do a little more. The people who are tired of life are not those who work, but those who are too proud or too lazy to do so. Many of the rich are morbidly restless, while those who have to earn their daily bread are comparatively contented and ibappy. The Bible says that "the sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much." (Eccl. v. 12); and the busy worker has health and blessing which the listless idler never knows.—Selected. South'* Granite Quarrle*. "The granite quarries of the south are not only numerous, but are rapidly coming into competition with the quarries of northern states," observed T* H. Binder of Atlanta, at the Riggs in Washington recently.. "A contract for 65,000 cubic feet of curbing from Georgia has recently been put down here in the District of Columbia several days in advance of the stipulated time, whereas the contracts from the northern quarries are very often filled considerably after the time limit has expired. The granite of Georgia now goes as far north as Philadelphia and as far west as Chicago. The state contains an inexhaustible supply. Stone mountain, a short distance out of Atlanta, is seven miles in circumference aud three miles in diameter, rising 1,- 600 feet high and forming one of the geological wonders of the world. It is without a flaw and without seam3 of any kind. IndlTldeol KoBpeiulbirttr. Francis E. Clark says: "Many revivals can be traced, so far as human agency goes, directly to the prayer of some individual Christian; sometimes to the prayer of a helpless invalid who Modern T<-an«portMlnn.

Two modern transportation devices have been Invented by a British engineer, who has constructed a trolley autimobile line, similar to that exhibited at the Paris exposition, at Ederswalde, a small rky near the German capital, In this system the automobile re:elves its motive power from an overhead wire, by means of a trolley, which is connected with the automobile by a movable cable. This shows the vehicle to turn out at any place on the road. The line has been favorably inspected by experts, and the system is expected to meet .with general favor in Germany.

That the world is by no means free from the menace of a great epidemic o r this ^iaiasHleath1* is the declaration of a man who speaks with authority. Dr. L. F. Barker is a pathologist who was- at one time a member of the faculty of the) Johns Hopkins university, and who now occupies the chair1 of pathology at the Rush Medical College, Chicago. Two years ago he was sent to India and China by the former institution to study the plague conditions, and later was appointed to investigate the plague cases in San Francisco for the government. Probably there is no American who is better qualified to speak on this subject than is Dr. Barker. Ip a recent address before a medical society Dr. Barker announced that American cities are far from immune as to the "sneaking pestilence," which is spread chiefly through the agency ot rats. In the great epidemic of the fourteenth century, which cost 25,900,000 human lives, it was a characteristic of the plague that it developed by bounds. Before there was time to take precautions a vast proportion of a community would be in the grasp of the disease, while the remainder would be terrorstricken. Hindu writings 80 years old note the fact that a visitation of the plague was always preceded by a great mortality among rats. Dr. Barker noted that in India he saw dead rats everywhere, and the same phenomenon has been observed In Japan. It Is believed that If the rodents eoold be exterminated, as the government of Japan has proposed, the danger of an epidemic of the plague would be much reduced. t< . . • • > • • • . - . A Pike County Miracle. Veipen, Ind., June 17.—Wm. 0. B. Sullivan, a farmer of this place, and who is a brother of ex-Representative Sullivan of Pike and Dubois counties, has had a remarkable experience recently. Mr. Sullivan is 49 years of age, and has been a citizen of Pike County for 30 years. For two years, he has suffered much with kidney trouble and rheumatism. His shoulders and side were very sore and stiff, and his back was so bad he could hardly straighten up at all. He had palpitation of ihe heart, and a smothering which was very distressing. He used three boxes of Oodd's Kidney Pills, and is as strong and well as ever he was. He pronounces his cure a miracle. Mr. Sullivan's statement of his case is startling. "A month ago I was a cripple. Today I can do a hard day's work every day, and have not a single ache or pain." *Dodd'8 Kidney Pills have done some wonderful cures in Indiana, but none more miraculous than that in the case of Mr. Sullivan. A R T O P W A L K I N G . „ , <. Common-Settle Footwear ItoJce* Good Pedes trlan of American Girl. The American girl is learning how to walk. For many years she has been a martyr to French high-heeled shoes, the toothpick toe. and the wafer sole, but now common sense footwear is the vogue. It took a long period of discomfort, if not actual suffering, to convince woman that she could wear a sensible shoe and not detract from her personal charms, comments the Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune. Now that she has been convinced of the error of her ways more interest is manifested in the correct style of walking and the proper manner of holding the skirt. In correct walking there is the poetry of motion, the delicacy of poise and the scientific adjustment of the weight of the body which the ancients knew so well, but which> the moderns, siurfc if they do not absolutely ignore. The girl who walks correctly i& a joy to herself and all who behold her. She has some purpose in life. SheJs, nine times out of. ten, neatly dressed, bright-eyed and healthy. Watch her and you will see that the boil of her foot is the center upon which the weight of the body swings; and that upon the hesl and the toes, there is an even balance of the strata, if such it may be called, the heel not being called upon to do more than the toes or the toea more than the heel, while the sole is the medium between the two extremes. In correct walking the foot is placed evenly upon the surface, with the pressure first upon the heel, then upon the ball of the foot, and then upon the toes. From the ball of the foot, and the toes the impetus and elasticity of the stride originate.

The great hymns of tho world that have touched the hearts of many thousands have usualiy been the express!ca of a vital individual experience. They have not been written as mere piece3 of literary composition; they have been the crystallizing of personal sorrow, personal faith, or persona! realization. They have been the summing up of years of hope^and struggle, focused in an instant of expression, as the century plant stores up- vitality tor decades to be evidenced at last in a sudden flowering. The circumstances that inspired some of our great devotional hymns must deepen the interest in both the song and the singer and reveal that mighty kinship of human sou^ls, that divine sympathy, that confers deathless fame on a few simple verses, soul-biographies living in song. This greatest of hymns was written in 1775 by Rev. Augustus Toplady, a very learned English divine, who died at the early age of thirty-eight. The hymn has the rare, wondrous spiritual ecstasy he revealed in hia daily life. In his last illness he said: "I cannot tell the comforts that I feel in my soul; they are past expression. It will not be long before God takes me; for no mortal man tan live after the glorie3 which God has manifested to my soul." The marble tab'et over his grave says: He Wrote "Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me." The Swert By »nd By. In 1SS7 this hymn, known as "The Sweet By and By." was written at Elkhorn, Wis., by S.

While the present day Chinese attitude is that of contempt for any beings or institutions not evolved in China, the Japanese are eager to know of everything connected with our form ot^civilteation and-to-adopt -st-tf-it-Jav good. A perusal of Japanese history shows that the people have ever progressed by impulse*, by action and reaction, and that in the end good Judgment seems to become supreme. Can B« Carred Raadtty. H. J.

In October, 1S64, Allatoona Pass, a defile in the Mountains of Georgia, was guarded by General Corse with 1,500 men. It was a strong strategic point and, moreover, a million and a half of rations were stored there. Fresich, the southern general, with-6,000 men, attacked the garrison and drove the defenders into a small fort on the crest of the hill. The battle was fierce; the northern soldiers fell in such numbers that further fighting seemed folly. But one of Corse's officers ciught sight of a white signal flag fluttering in the breeze on tho top of Kenesaw Mountain, across the valley,' fifteen miles away. The signal was answered, and *hen came the inspiring message from mountain to mountain: "Hold the fort; I am coming.—W. T. Sherman." Cheer after cheer went up, and though hopelessly reduced in numbers they did hold the fort for hours until the advance guard of Sherman's army came to their relief. Six years later, P. P. Bliss, the evangelist, heard the story in all its vivid detail from a soldier friend, and then wrote the words and music of this famous hymn.

It first appeared in a volume called "Hymns and Anthems," published in 1841. The chief criticism made against this hymn is that it does not mention a Savior. .Hev. A. T. Russel added a stanza covering this lack, but the new lines ard rarely used and they never became popular. Jem*, Lover of My Sonl. One day Charles Wesley was sitting by an open window, looking over the beautiful fields, when he saw a little bird pursued by a hawk. The poor thing, weak and frightened, in seeking to escape from Its enemy, flew into the room and found refuge in Wesley's bosom. As the poet was then in great trouble and needed the safety of a refuge, the consolation of help from a higher power than his own, the incident seemed to him a divine message, T h e merry-hearted m a n finds life o n e lonjr sunshine.

When the offering was received, the two boys charged with the duty of passing the plates did not make the ^lightest effort to circulate them among the cadets, for we never had any moniy. They would walk rapidly down the aisle and then come deliberately up the middle, gathering thence what they could. One Sunday the chaplain announced that he would preach a missionary sermon the next Sunday. It did not have the ordinary effect in emptying the church, for we were obliged to go as usual. During the week it occurred to the bright niind-of- a senior: or_J}_rstj;class man, who is now a prominent New York financier, that it would be well for the cadets to make an offering. So he sent out to the bank on Saturday morning and succeeded in smuggling in over 300 copper cents, which he distributed 1 cent per boy to the Episcopal battalion. "We stationed a strong, long armed man on the outside seat of the first pew iu each aisle. The chaplain made a piteous appeal for pennies even, and when the astonished cadets who passed the plates started on their perfunctory promenade the strong, one armed men aforesaid promptly relieved them of the metal plates, and each one dropped In one copper cent with an ominous crash and then deliberately handed the plate to the next boy, who did the same thing. It rained copper cents for about ten minutes. The chaplain was dreadfully disconcerted, the officers fidgeted and looked aghast. Some of them laughed, and the cadets preserved--adeattty solemnity. The affair was a striking success. A Pigeon an Valet to a Crow. "Tom was the name given to a lordly .young crow," says Florence M. Kingsley in The Ladies' Home Journal. "Beauty was a snow white pigeon of about the crow's age, with whom he was reared. Just iiow it came about we never kuew. but we soon discovered that Beauty regularly acted as maid of all work to Tom. She fetched and carried morsels of food at his imperious 'command, and one of her unvarying duties was the preening of her master's feathers. Tom was very much of a dandy. His coal black plumage always appeared perfectly dressed and shining, but the arduous labor of his toilet was performed for him twice every day by the humble and affectionate pigeon. "Our tine gentleman would come in from a roll in the dust or a dip in the fountain and. seating himself upon a certain railing, utter a short, sharp call Instantly Beauty would descend to his side and begin her task, fluttering anxiously from side to side as she worked, drawing each shining black feather carefully out to its full length In her pink bill, Tom meanwhile dozing luxuriously, ,with closed eyes, after the manner of the complacent patron of a skillful barber. If Beauty unfortunately pulled a feather too hard, a squawk and a sudden peck informed her of her mistake." "Well, you flee, nobody ever OOUCM my name on the register when I wrote it Turner.'" the latter explained, "but since I commenced writing It 'Pbthologynrrb' I set them all guessing. It it, as 1 said before, English spelling.

Optimism. When the optimist was dispossessed and thrown, along with his household Impedimenta, into the cold street, he chuckled furiously. "Why do you laugh, my friendV Inquired a passerby. "Because I have Just now been emancipated from toil," replied the optimist. "For years my life has been one long struggle t o keep the wolf from the door. But now that I have been deprived of the door 1 no longer am compelled to toil. Sweet, indeed, are the uses of adversity!"

UNAD1LLA FARMER'S CLUB The J u n e meeting of the above club was held at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Marshall on Saturday last and was well attended. I t was called to order by President Glenn and singing by the club. Miss Georgia Westfall then sang "In the heart of Old New England" and Miss Kate Collins gave a very hnmtirou3 recitation which was a rich take-off on patent medici ue advertisements. This was followed by a paper "Practical Culture" by Foster C u a p o i m Practical culture will learn a man to do his best no matter what the price paid for the work. Whatever we have intellectually, morally or otherwis e. We must earn of ourselves. Right i n t e n t will lead to success—never skip a duty because it is hard. The paper was discussed by Messrs. Heatly and Collins, Andrews and others. "Mortgage the Farm" was then suug by Messrs. Pyper, Laverock and Mesdames Stowe and Budd. This was followed by a recitation by Miss Jennie Harris, "The Dyiug Pastor," and an instrumental solb by Mrs. Lulo Marshall. The question box was taken up by \V. B. Collins. Why can we not raise spring wheat in Michi gan? Mr Pyper—sowed two bushels and harvested a peck. Understood that seed had to be secured from the west every year. Mr. Hartsuff did not think the] climate was adpsted to spring wheat. Emory Glenn thought it would grow on new ground, cool and rich. F. L. Andrews sang a solo which was followed by at business session at which time it was decided to hold a picnic some | time in August. The club then | adjourned to meet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Marshall of Lyndon the third Saturday in July. HIGH FARMING. ffhiags a Lire Lad of Blsrii^eaa* Ho Brother to the. Ox, Con Do. One of tne motrt restless creatures in existence is an ambitious farm lad of 18 who has not yet decided what he will do for a living. Jacob Biggie, in Farm Journal, advises sucb lads that it is very often the best way to settle down at home and hew their way to peace and plenty right on the old farm. But Mr. Biggie very sensibly adds a programme of some interesting and profitable things a live boy can do to begin with: JFIrst—He can learn how to bud and graft and always be ready to do sueb7 work for the neighbors: also to supply scions of valuable kinds of fruits. In time many a dollar can be made in this way. Second.—Be can learn all about injurious insects and fungi that assail the farmers' crops and how to apply remedies to their devastation. Get the best sprayer, learn bow to use it and take contracts with the neighbors to protect them at all seasons of the year. There is money in it, and the neighbors will be glad to be relieved of such responsibility. Third.—Take a course in surveying and learn to write simple legal documents and in time find that you are a very important mau in the neighborhood. There will be plenty of business. Fourth.—Learn about landscape gardening and take contracts for laying out lawns. Get up clubs for trees, shrubs, seeds, fertilizers, newspapers and magazines during the wiuter season. *""" Fifth. — Grow rare strawberry and small fruit plants, fruit and shade trees and other thinprs that no one else -has-near by, se^ that the folks aroundwlll know where to come for such things. Sixth. — Get a BabL'ock milk test and be prepared to tell the neighbors the individual standing of their cows at so much a head. There is room in every dairy neighborhood for a person of this kind, and he will have plenty to do. Seventh.—A neighbor's plum trees do not bear, he has yellows among his peach trees, his apple orchard is blighted, dying- from some unknown eause— you can help him out of his troubles, and he can afford to pay you for it. "Harriet" suggests that the proper training of colts ought to have been in Mr. Biggie's list, and so it goes in.

In feeding, though the greatest care be taken, it will be impossible not to open a stack in some weather that will ruin the exposed hay.

A great sensation has been caused in Vienna by an order for the arrest of a member of the Austrian Parliament, named Franz Krempa, who is accused of highway robbery in the district of Tarnow. The prosecution claims that Krempa, at the head of a band of ten peasants, waylaid^a man named Itusinowsky, a horse dealer, robbed him of a "considerable amount of cash, and beat him until he was insensible.

Goes St. Joseph One Better. In ovder to compete with St. Joseph ;is a Gretna Green for Chicago couples South Haven has secured the appointment of R, J. Madill, a deputy county clerk, with his headquarters on the steamboat dock at South Haven. This innovation was due to the fact that Paw Paw, the county seat of Van Uuren county, is located 2"» miles inland and couples who wanted to pet married had to go to Paw Paw for licenses. Under the~state system licenses can be obtained within a few minutes after leaving the boat. In that respect South Haven now boasts of an advantage over St. Joseph, as a trip of a half mile to the court house lor a license is required at the latter place before the oeremony can be peri'orrued. >, Wheat* Failure. . The monthly crop report issued by Secretary of State Warner on the lOtu states that fruit and garden truck suffered somewhat from frost during May, the damage usually occurring whore crops were on low ground. The cool, w e t weather was uot favorable for tho setting of fruit, but was favornhln fnr rnrl leaf in peaches. The weather was very favorable for wheat and had a tendency to check the work of the Hessian lly. The weather in April was favorable to the fly, and the opinion of many farmers that great damage was then don© and would benoticeable as soon as we had a few days of dry, warm weather was demonstrated to be correct during the first few days of June. Nearly every correspondent in the southern counties reports damage by tho fly. In somo places wheat is beginning to fall to the ground. The indications now are that the crop will bo no better than last year. Fields that escaped tho lavages of the pest last fall are reported to have been infested this spring, so that failure of the crop will probably be universal. The average condition of wheat in the state is 72. This estimate was made June 1, before the damage had become so noticeable. Had the esti mate been made a week later it would have been lower. On June 1 last year the condition was estimated at 49. The per cent of wheat that will be plowed up because winter killed or otherwise destroyed is 14, and it would be much greater were it not for tho fact that many fields are* seeded to timothy or clover. The damage by Hessian ily is 31 for the state. May weather was unfavorable to coro. May weather w a s not favorable to fruit. Hair Pullinc Jlatch at Orro**o.

Doyle*« Death Accidental. The investigation of the coroner's jury into the death of Rep. Doyle, who died of carbolic acid poisoning at Lansing recently, developed an interesting bit of testimony which has not hereto-* fore been recorded. The verdict of the jury was that death was due to ac?>* dental poisoning by carbolic acid with ro criminal intent on the part of anyone. It was brought out at the inquest that the whisky Doyle partook while at Mnss-M a riders' room, was furnished by the hitter's landlady, Mrs. F. H.

Siucc Gov. Allen returned t o Porto Rico.he has given the free trade' problem cymes', consideration. Treasurer Hollander has presented him with a report showing in detail the workings oi his new revenue act. He shows that when the law shall have gone into full force July 1 the island revenues will be sufficient for the island's maintenance without tho customs duties on trade between Porto Rico and the U. S. The governor shows some hesitancy in acting as he is undecided when i t will be proper to call the legislature in extraordinary session for t h e purpose of declaring that the island has in operation adequate system for collecting revenues, as it has the power to do under the Foraker organic act. Then, to make free trade a reality, for the act to remain, will be for the President to proclaim. Were it known now that free trade would be declared on a given date, the island sugar still unshipped would be cornered by speculators to the detriment of the planters. This Gov. Allen wishes to avoid. It is safe to say that the legislature will be called to meet in extra sassion as soon after July 1 as practicable. Porto R.cans have been clamoring for free trade since the beginning, and nothing, unless i t bo American citizenship, would please them more. Pl:jm for Federal Milltla. A.number of conferences have taken pl;»ce in Washington, between Assistant Secretary of War C.irey Sanger and officers of the state militia organizations of the east. Later on officers, of the middle and western states are to be invited to the capital to talk over a plan, which will be put into execution next fall for the bringing of the state volunteer organisations into closer touch with the federal government. The details of the plan have not been worked out, but its general features can be told in a few words. In return for larger appropriations from the federal treasury, the state military organizations are to bind themselves to respond to a call of the President for duty, anywhere in the American domain for a period of from 30 to 90 days. They would become what might be called "federal militia," and instead of being mere state organizations sworn for duty within the boundaries of the state, and subject only to the command of the governor thereof, they would be subject primarily to the command of the President, and would be bound to go where sent.

Along the path at noon came a ttunted man, a barrel-shaped miner, ^nar Bwufl nts tracK wrto a- cut-oxx shovel used as a cane. "Paper for Henley," he pufflngly remarked as he opened the door of the shed above the shaft "Paper 'dressed to 'Franklin Henley,"" and tossing It in by the side of the man who was eating his lunch on a box, he plodded ahead to return to the trail. "Thank you, Billy," called the other; "much obliged." He finished a bone, gave his fingers „ a wipe on the ragged trousers and slit off the wrapper of the "down-east" paper. Sitting in the door, he read the news of the far-away home, eagerly absorbing every line. Of,a sudden he paused; a gleam of something wild came flashing In bis eyes and the muscles of hta hands and arms abruptly stiffened. "Married, by the Rev. Richard Watson, Feb. 20. Miss Agnes Coles to Frederick Law," was all that he read. The type swung a dizzy waltz, with the notice for their center—a thousand animated demon spots they were, dancing at his anguish. He hurled the sheet, in a crunched - up ball, along in the brush; he grasped Your father, he say so. He say you go a pick and went where the paper lay —all crisply swelling to open again— and dug and gashed it to dirt-printed shreds. . "So that's the reason she hasn't been writing!" he fiercely hissed. "That's the game he's worked on the quiet shift! Undermined me!—tapped the vein!—robbed the pocket! Damn his cowardly heart!—damn the mine! — damn everything!" His voice was choked,; he reeled to the . shed, he sank—half flung—to the earthen floor, to lie where the door, like a flabby jaw, was vainly trying to close against his body. His fingers gouged in the sand like hooks; his face was pressed to the chill, hard cheek,of the soil. The wind swept through, the hole of a window its vent, beating the door, in weak, squeaking blows against his back. Th« day grew oldr~a~drizzling rain descended; darkness obscured him as he lay, half within, half without. The night came down and found him motionless. The creak; creak, creak of the door wa3 mingled at midnight with the distant howling of a lone coyote. In the morning, when the Indian girl was come to the cabin, a wildeyed man, mumbling and groping, haggard, unkempt, staggered out of the sage brush Jto fall over on the floor of the kitchen. There on the boards she fashioned the couch whereon he tossed and. roiled, fought and mined for fourteen nights and day's. Feebly he opened his eyes at length. It was 8usie above him, laving his forehead; Susie preparing the food at the stove; Susie who sang him the lullaby of rest in Washoe music, soft and persuasive. Wistfully his eyes remained on her round young face. He lay there helpless, feeling like a man of thewless cot- -tom—Day by day she coaxed his pulse to ita strong, quick thump of action. Night by night his energy crept In through his system again. Yet what was the use. There came an hour when he tottered to his feet, got the gush of spring from the visiting breeze, and at length returned to the mine—to dig in the adamant, to work off the shadows of hatred and vengeance. He dug out a pocket of gold, nearly pure, and laughed in scorn at its glittering spread on the salver of dross and porphyry. It lay where it fell- -a pyramid of riches; and he striking sparks from his steel and the rock in the opposite end of the tunnel. Susie remained—his shy little dot— adoring the air that haloed him about, thrilling unceasingly to hear lim speak—lived in her womanly scheme of an earthly heaven. The blossoms now presented their cheeks and lips in manifold petals,for the sun's caress; the birds, widethroatt by gushing melodies, expressed throughout the day the joys 0. twining a nest in the branches. The Indian girl outspread her very fingers, to feel the current of love and life that sweetened the air. * At times, as the spring bud bourgeoned into summer, the glTl and Henley roamed on the hills hand-in-hand, seeking the grass blades that smoothed the roots of the sage brush, hunting out the flowers, mocking the mellow lark—who sang of endless summer. Now and again the man was fired by hot desire to honeycomb the mighty hills with drifts and shafts and tunnels. Yet, how sweet to wander "home" in the cool of the evening, stepping to the cheerful notes of crickets by the trail, to meet the day newborn again In the beaming face of Susie! CHAPTER II. Chloride Hill, the mining camp, was nothing to Henley, nothing to Susie. But out of Its streets there came one day a tall, stalwart Indian, who stood aloft in the kitchen door and gazed in pleasure on the Indian girl. "Mingo!" she cried in alarm. "Yes, Mingo," he replied slowly and clearly, grinning like a wolf. "Mingo, big hunter." She had backed away and stood there trembling. "What do you want?" she finally gasped, in the musical speech of the Washoes. "Why do you come?" "Mingo, the hunter, comes for you," said he. "Mingo wants his mahala, his wife." "What do you mean?" she cried aghast. "Mingo's mahala is afraid like the chipmunk," he joyously announced. "Mingo will make her like the pool of the water. Mingo will take his wife; he has given her father his rifle and pony. She will go to the lodge of Mingo." "Mingo is locoed" (crazed), she answered. Here is my lord. I am his mahala. This is Susie's wikiup." "No," said he, growing dark with frowning, "you my wife—my squaw. with Mingo, go to Mingo's wigwam." "But I can't go tp your wigwam. I don't love you—don't ^you sabbee? 1 don't love you." "Mingo, he loves you. That Is plenty. I tell you come." "Oh, you sneaking coyote! If my husband were here you would run like the coward. You would never come to the white man's wikiup." "He is not your husband, mahala. Do you say to Mingo, the white chief here is your hu3band?" She faltered, staggered and groped .1 little backward. "You say it not-," he quickly continued. "It is lying. No, the mahala is not the wife at his side. She has broken the Indians' law; she has broken the law of the white nan. Mahala you belong to Mingo. 5 tell you come.' He moved toward he.-? she recoile.l in dread. Her searching hand cam: down on the-table. fell on the handle of a knife, and she ^grasped it suddenly. "Stand far away," she cried, displaying the blade, "you sneaking coyote: You come when women are alone—you the great hunter! Keep away! Go Let in the light! Take your bad coyote face to the sage brush, you coward!" The savage blood of her nature .vivaflame. The Washoe flinched not at all,, neither did he come. He was cun ning, more than brave. The dull, banked fires were aglow in his eyes his body was bent in a menacing atti tude, his head thrown malignantly for ward. Muttering threats of vengeance he glided backward, and she slammed and bolted the door. Then down or the floor she sank, to lie there brfcath ing like a wounded animal. On the hill, in the sunshine, Henley was gazing a?t the deep blue sky, thashowed in a patch through a window in the shed above the mine. Alon the path, down below, a,t his back, tht squat, little barrel-shaped miner VJL bored wheezingly upward. "Letter for Henley," he called at th door, and threw in the missive and trudged along the hill. Not an answering sound did Henley make. "A letter," he mused, not start ing at all from hii resting position "Comes r. trifle late. I reckon. Life preserver to a corpse—so far as th< world beyond is at all concerned." H gazed another hour at the sky, whilthe light moved slowly athwart thearthen floor and lay at length, a bril liant finger, across the face of the up turned envelope. Turning, he saw the white and placi' invitation. His eye3 began dissectinits features. Presently the writing round and straight, made him move b; ,, stages involuntarily toward the light • the world was whirring wildly in spaje —he tottered in his walk. Out he went, clutching his letter—out to the light—out and away up the hill, striding like an engine breasting the breeze, fronting the steep ascent, panting and straining to reach that upper isolation. "Frank, oh, Frank," cried Suslo when he came. "Mlngcv tha Indian—' Be brushed her by. He looked Lt her blankly; bis ears failed to focus the sounds of her voicer he merely comprehended that something was uttered. "No, no," he answered, "no, not now —I'm dizsy—rattled." She stood with eyes wide open and startled—dumbly appealing. "But Mingo," she said, "Mingo, the Indian, he came to-day—and he—threatened— threatened us." "Mingo—Mingo! He's a coward—I'm tired—never mind him, Susie." He stretched forth his hand. She leaped to place it on her neck, and kissed it wildly. He stood there truly, but himself was far away. Pacing and pacing, he wore away the hours in the cabin. All through the night she watched his face With startled eyes, pain, doubt and yearning in her dumb, trusting look. In the morning he bolted to the hill again; and she, like a doe t not anything but one who is master, followed him timidly far behind—followed till he threw himself down in the sage brush. She sank where Ehe was, to wait there in patience. In the grass-broken sand he lay and sat and lay again, thinking rapidly, in "Hers," he whi-'i>ered. His jaw grew square and firmly sethis eyeS grew hard and glinted lik flint. Yet he took up the letter and broke it open sullenly. * * and my illness increased to such an extent that the doctor said l would have to go to the warm Ber mudas. Every one about was quite alarmed—they neglected you. my dearest heart—and for many a week I lay like a shadow on the pillow. * * * I enclose a notice, the funniest thing, that was printed in th* Star. "Married by the Rev. Richard Watson, Feb. 20, Miss Agnes Coles to Frederick Law." Isn't it odd?—the oddest thing! Of course it ought to be Kolles; but such a laugh they have had on me, and on Agnes too. But blest her heart, she doesn't mind; she's got her Fred at last, and they are very happy—>—" His tenses were swimming crasily, coherently the same things over and over. Under it all ran a current of echoes: "Saved my life—she saved my life—she saved my life." At length his wandering attention was caught by a motley procession moving slowly along in the dustwreathed road below. There were half a dozen Washoe Indians, more perhaps, approaching the town—men and womer- They had two horses—jaded, hopeless creatures—that three old men were ridi»s. Near them, walking barefooted, heavily laden, were three or four squaws, with time-furrowed visages. The loads were contained in sacks and in conical baskets, heaped on the should&rs and supported by heavy bands, which went across the foreheads of these camel-females. Forward the burdened ones bent, looking, as if in submission and patience, on the ground, leaning on sticks which they used with either hand. It was only a party returning from the nountains with the gathered supply of bitter acorns and berries from the red uaiizanita. For fifty miles they h?d traveled thus. Painfully the wretched caravan crawled around the hill and disappeared. Henley watched them, strangely intent. "Saved my life," he muttered iloud. "Indian—same as those. Sav^d me. Yes, she'll wrink'e—be old. Why Jid I have to have the fever! Saved my life. Wrinkled, fearfufold squaws." Susie saw the squalid show. "Oh," :he cried in anguish to herself. "Oh, the women—oh, the Washoe women!^ -Wercrtfaey young loirg agoTl^reThey part of the Summer? Did they hear he larks and crickets? Did they love?" She threw herself forward •vhere she sat till her face was buried n her curving arm. "Oh, love!" she jricd; "there is nothing in the world or mo but love!" The thoughts of Henley finally ?rysalized in form and sequence. He knew 1e would leave her, knew he would :ertalnly desert all things Western md go to the far-away East. How to lo it gently, what to provide for Iior omfort, what he should say, how ipply a balm with the caustic—these* vere matters to be planned and planned. * Early the following morning he wen; :o his mine to gather the gold wher.2 it ay beneath the pocket. There, alone, .e labored hour after hour. The mine vas s.*nply a hole in the ground, 50 :set in depth, with branching tunuels !own below; and over the mouth a vindlas3 stood, with a rope about :t. upporting a bucket that rested on the :ottom. Built againfJt one of the per )endicular walls was a wooden ladder or ingress to and egress from the ower .1 eye Is. In the afternoon, from the rocks,on he hill, a crouching form cam? tealthily down through the scrubby vrush. It was Mingo, the Washoe Inian. Noiselessly he crept to the shed —after scanning the prospect far and lear for any living thing—there to lie full length on a plank at the .edge of ihe shaft. His practiced ear was quick 0 ca.tch the dull sound of blows that issued from the mine. Long he lay without moving a muscle. He could wait au hour; he cou'd wait a day. (To be continued.)

Transportation of coal by electric lines is one of the possibilities of the near future. The Everett-Moore syndicate has decided to build a line con* uecting Akron with Canton and Mas* sillon. The right of way has almost entirely been bought up and work on construction will soon begin. The electric line will penetrate the Massillon coal fielda One of the objects which the magnates have in mind is the supplying of coal to the many power houses of the electric lines which the Everett-Moore syndicate controls. The syndicate in the making of the power are any negotiations on foot it it not through any action of his.

The hay on the race track will be sold at auction to the highist bidder next Saturday at 6 o'clock in the atternoon J u n e 22. W. H. HARRIS, Sec H. Swartbont and E.Campbell are now having cement walk in front of i wheat set. the seeds from weeds of various kinds, while No. 2 screenings is made up mostly of cracked, broken and shrunken wheat. The roughage used in the experiment was the same in all of the sets—a good quality of alfalfa hay. 0 The sets on both grades of screenings made better gains than that on_iJpod "wheat and one of them better and the other almost as good as the frozen their stores. If it could be put in front of the Clark store and the lank it would make a nice addition to the looks of the buildings. The next good move for the council to make would be to remove'all hitching posts in front of tbe stores and put them on Taking into account both the rate and the cost of the gains, the results of this experiment indicate that it is more profitable to feed screenings than either good or frosted wheat. The frozen wheat used in this experiment was of medium grade, neither the highest nor the lowest, and it gave better returns in rate of gain than the opposite side ot tbe street, next to • wheat of good milling quality. This result ngrees with that obtainable at the Canadian experiment station, where it is often found necessary to dispose of large quantities of frozen wheat. From the standpoint of composition taken as a whole, the better grade of frozen wheat ranks little inferior for stock feeding to that fully ripened, The composition of both kinds of screenings shows a high feeding value, though the large percentage of crude fiber indicates that they are less digestible than any of the wheats. the park.

Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett once told a good story about his going to Irefand for the first time. "As soon as I landed in Ireland I attempted to look for traces of some of my ancestors, who" came from the extreme north of Ireland. Meeting an intelligent looking Irishman, i Informed him of u mission, saying that my ancestors emigrated from about fbat spot 10() years ago, and I was there trying to look them up. He answered: "Ye say your ancestors emigrated from our town about 100 years ago? Thin why are ye looking for them here?"—London Tit-Bits. account of the numeroTis seeds the first screenings contain, they will give better results fed to sheep than to cattle and pigs. In Manitoba and other portions of Canada, where there are frequently large quantities of frozen wheat, it has been tested, ground and soaked for 12 hours before use. One hundred pounds of frozen wheat were found equal to 7f>l pounds of skimmilk in increasing the live weight of pigs. The pork was considered excellent, much superior to that of hogs fed on peas alone. The quality of beef from steers fed on frozen wheat was pronounced to be particularly excellent by the butchers and by the members of eight different households who examined it critically wheo served as roast beef. Tbe various feeding trials indicate frozen wheat to be practically equal to a mixture of wheat, oats and barley for hog feeding and to stand very high as a concentrated food for fattening cattle. A T a s k . To be honest, to be kind, to earn a little and to spend less, to make, upon the whole, a family happier by his presence, to renounce where that shall be necessary and not to be Imbluered, to keep a few friends, but these without capitulation; above all, on tbe same grim conditions to keep friends with himself—here is a task for all that a man has of fortitude and delicacy.— Robert Louis 8tevensou. WHEN TO IRRIGATE. E v e r y I r r i g a t o r S h o u l d F e e l A r o f t s d a n d F i n d Out F o r H i m s e l f . The question when to irrigate is so closely related to the water supply and its consumption that it merits careful consideration. The time to Irrigate depends largely on the crop, the weather conditions and the soil. Over I large part of Wyoming, where meadows are Irrigated for the production of hay, it is the common practice to turn the water on the land just as early in the spring as it can be run through the ditches. Ordinarily the water is placed on the meadows about the middle of April and runs continuously until about the middle at July, being turned off only long enough before mowing to allow the laud to dry out so the water will not Interfere with the work of haymaking. This time varies in different places from one day to two weeks before mowing begins. One farmer has stated that he turns the wnter off his meadows the day before he begins to cut the grass and depends upon the land drying rapidly enough so the moisture will not interfere with curing the hay, and another -explained that he had obtained a mowing machine which would cut risht along under sis Inches of water. Various reasons, are given for turning the water on the meadows as early as possible. A ranchman who raises excellent crops of hay on the Laramie plains states that the water draws the frost out of the soil, softening the land so the grass can make an early start and produce larger growth than where naturally held back by the cold weather. Another ranchman near Laramie says: "Where the soil is covered with alkali, and practically all the land here is alkali land, the white incrustations of salts interfere with the growth of grass and keep the land cold by reflecting the sun's rays. If the water can be run over the land enough te wash off the alkali or dissolve it and carry it Into the soil, the grass thickens up and makes a good crop." Whatever the reason, it is evident that the ranchmen of Wyoming, as a rule, believe In irrigating native hay land as early and as long as possible, and all use the most water when the largest amounts can be obtained from our streams, which Is during* May and June. The time to Irrigate cultivated crops cannot be definitely stated. Absolutely no working rule has been discovered. Up to the present time farmeis have generally applied water through judgment born of long experience rather than through an intelligent conception of the needs of the plant. Often the one who irrigates cannot explain clearly how he knows his cr^p is in need of water. To the uninitiated t h e ei»op may- be api»vrently thriving and the need of water seemingly remote when the farmer turns on a head of water and does not rest day or night till all his land has been watered. Evidence of his correct judgment is forthcoming in the large yields which fill his granaries and root cellars. Some say that plants do not need irrigating until they show signs of wilting, but for most plants this would be waiting too long. The crop would never fully recover its strength and vigor. This rule may be applied to corn, however, which is ordinarily said not to be suffering so long as the wilted leaves straighten out at night Some farmers will "Inform you that they discover when water is needed by the color of the plant, but this is not an altogether safe guide, for color is influenced by so many other conditions that it cannot be relied upon as an index to the need of water. More intelligent fanners will probably explain that they have examined their soil and know from experience that when it reaches a certain condition of dryness their crops will soon suffer unless water is supplied. Dr. Hllgard of the California experiment station states that this questioning of the soil is the only accurate way to tell when irrigating should be done.—B. C. Bufferm. D e s t r o y i n g OrsUMk*p«ters. By all odds the best method for destroying grasshoppers after they become half grown Is the use of the "hopper dozer," or kerosene pan, which is shown herewith. This is made of stovepipe iron by turning up the sides ami ends about four-inches so as to make a long, Hat pan about four inches Ui depth. This is then mounted on runners varying in height according to" requirements. On the frame back of the pan is stretched a piece of cloth to prevent the insects from jumping over the pan. Wlun ready to begin work, the pan is partially filled with A HOPPER DOZER. water, and some coal oil Is added. If the ground is level, no crosspieces are necessary, but,if the pan is to be used on sloping ground it should be made as indicated In the illustration to prevent the oil and wnter from running to one end. The height of the runners will necessarily vary from two to eight or ten inches, according to the crop to be protected and the age of the insects to be captured. The machine may be of any length desired up lo 10 or 18 feet. If small. It can be ilrawn by hand, but when larger a horse or two is desirable. When full, the insects can be removed, a little more oil added and the machine started afresh. l a this way a number of bushels of hoppers can be captured and destroyed in a single day. The cost of running this machine is trifling and the remedy very effectual.—Nebraska Fanner. The Riches of Irrigation Water. The experience of centuries in various countries shows that irrigation water Is often superior to rainwater iu that it carries greater quantities of plant food, Pond and stream waters in humid regions are often rich In nitrates, which are the most costly and stimulating fertilizers. The surface waters of the arid regions are also notably rich in potash and other valuable Ingredients. No doubt in many instances Irrigation water, except that which comes from wells, Is worth in manurial content as much as It costs to secure H, leaving Its more obvious benefits a net gain to the irrigators. « * * *r' WMmxn.mnrv. «-*-«I,>>M •» wr^jmiHWiinw-c "•**> rtwrmnm-: i ^ « i i d L ^ _ IVh^'^'rw.^^t'flaWrjBrw »"^.5'Uw»1«w>W.«v'-, r,i<wj^,r, '»?,*<\*W,'«MWnBt W ( 'mi** Note Extra information that can be shown with the item.

Received Their Diplomas Last Wednesday Evening. The exercises last Wednesday evening which gave diplomas to three more graduates oi the P. H. 8., were in every way op to the high mark and every one present enjoyed the entertainment. A little change was made in the usual order of tbings and an address given by Prof. Barbour of tbe State Normal of Ypsilanti which was an excellent addition to to tbe exercises. Prot. Barbour spoke tor only about 40 minutes but tbe audience, who had been sitting there for nearly two hours, would willing have listened to bimM long again. Should he ever visit this village in tbe future we bespeak for him a crowded bouse. The members ot tbe class did their work finely aud tbe patrons of tbe school bave every reason to be proud ef the new graduates. -All entered the school in '98, all coming in from the country. Though at times it seemed as if they mast give up, they perserved and to day have their reward. Music was furnished by Messrs. H. Isham, F. Bowers and Miss Kate Ruen which was highly appreciated. Prot. Dnrfee in his presenation of Diplomas, made several excellent points which should be studied by the eitizens of Pinckney especially those who have children and young people in the school. Too many d rop out before finishing the work while those from tbe farm stick through and bear the honors. His remarks to tbe graduates were also very appropriate and they will do well to heed his advice. Altogether, while tbe crowd was not as large as heretofore, tbe entertainment was just as good, evervone present enjoyed it. Edward A. Bowman, bEPARTMENT LOCAL NEWS. I MICHIGAN STORE HOWELL.

Mich., June 23 1901 at the age of 72 years 10 months and 3 days. He came with bis parents to Michigan when eight years old, settling near Ann Arbor, where the family re* mained two vears. At the end of m that time they removed to Unadilla taking up the present homestead from the territorial government in 1837. Here the deceased lived and grew to manhood an eye-witness to the develment of his adopted home. He saw the territory become a state. Towns sprang up on every side and railroads stretched t eir glistening iengtb through tbe forest and the settlers clearing w^tle he steadily followed his chosen calling at the Unadilla homestead. He married Jane Carr in 1850, and in 1851 they suffeied the loss of an infant daughter. • During the trying times of the Civil War he struggled manfully to provide for his family and keep tbe home together. But even tbe most obstinate obstacles will yield to persistent effort and the deceased was never found lacking in it. He was a man of strongly marked characters tics; of unflinching determination,and never knew 6uch a word as fail. His long residence in the township gave hHn an extensive acquaintance and bis sterling character secured the lasting friendship of those who knew him, He leaves a wife and six living cbildren.—Four daughters, Sarah R., who married Albert Wilson; Carlia A. wile of Milton Wasson; Mary E. now Mrs. Arthur Montague; Lillian J. wife of Frank Montague;—two sons Chas.

An Object Lesson. list of Graduates this vear be an object lesson to the The three graduates Notice! To Parmers of the 20th Century. Empire Drill agency for 1901 has been secured by u& and we wish to call your attention to a few of the new features of this Drill, as well as sowing all kinds of grain it will plant Sugar Beets four rows 21 inches apart, will plant corn two rows 2>% feet apart, Beans three rows 28 inches apart, or if desired the rows may be made closer together or farther apart by simply closing a shut-off slide on inside of box. Come and examine the Drill and you will be convinced that it is the best Drill on earth. Respectfully Yours, TEEPLE i CIOWELL were all out of the district brought in by tbe school catalogues issued several years ago. This tuition alone more than paid tor tbe entire lot of catalogues so it was a good investment. The next class, will be composed of rive members at least and only one of them belongs to the district, alt brought in by tbe advertising tbe school has received. This is tbe only school arouud that ,does not issu* a catalogue every year besides doing considerable other aivertising. Would it not be a good plan to work for more foreiga scholars as well as try and interest more home pupils? There were during the last year sixteen foreign pupils whose toition amounted to about $15 each and it did not cost the district a dollar more tban it would without them so there was the gain. A goodly number of catalogues well circulated—not boarded up—will not only increase the attendance upon the school but tend to reduce the school tax. Two or tbree loads of ladies went to Howell Satarday last for a ride and took dinner at the hotel. They bad a fine time. A good many of onr patrons will receive their next issue of the DISPATCH by RFD as the carriers start Monday nexfc. Alfred Dnrfee and Son of Colo., Will Dnrfee and Miss Blanche Hook of Fowlerville were guests of Stephen Durtee and family the past week. Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Morgan and Sirs. N. S. Burgess will give an ice cream social at their home on Friday evening June 28. A cordial invitation is extended. Mrs. Bertha Mann returned home from Detroit Tuesday, having received a certificate from tbe school of pharmacy, also one from the state. Bertha has put in some hard weeks of work and after a years practice under a registered phamacist, which is required of all who wish to follow this branch of work, will give her a diploma as registered pharmacist. Gradnation Notes. Prof. Barbour is teacher of English in the State Normal. Certainly he would seem to be "tbe right man in the right place." He is a thoroughly cultured, refined man and knows bow to tell what be knows in an interastmg manner.

"1*6 sua, went down, the" daylight "waxred. Ezhaastlbn told the man ockpr to cease and go to his cabin. Havtag loaded the bucket he labored stow- 1/ tip lb* vertical cUmb on the ladder. The Indian glided nearer to the edge. He oouW hoar every step on the rungs of the ladder, could ever detect the «o«ad of the roughened hands grasping the wood. Leaning far over, he ««aw the candle, fastened on the miner's Jimt Nearer, nearer It slowly came, Alekerlng, throwing goblin shadows •againet the somber walls, contending Xalnily against the encompassing The shaft was now alive with hollow cttaoes of the labors of the man. On came the light. It was 10 feet iway— It was five feet—two. The head and the light emerged above the yawning chasm. With a movement swift, strong, analce-like, Mingo thrust out his powerful hand. It came across the min- «r*s eyes and nose; then the head was wrenched quickly, violently backward. The hands, surprised, tried to cling, bat failed. They loosened, waved wlldlr.. clutched at the air, and then,..with the body and head, were overtoppled. Headlong, twisting, turning, the man was hurled to the swallowing abyss. The tfght on the hat gave forth the soand of a flame in the wind and was Cone—plucked off by the rushing darkness* A shriek issued forth from the mouth of the tomb. "Susie! little Susie!" was the cry. Sounds of a striking—a bounding back and forth, dully, against the jagged sides—a crash at the bottom —and silence deeper than stillness ensued. The door swung open and Mingo, the Washoe, glided forth and away in the twilight, into the sage brush; and a rabbft would have made a greater rustle. The stillness of midnight, a seeming attribute of masses of shadows that crouched from the waning moon, behind the rocks, the brush and every salient thing, was timidly broken. The ..creak in the hinges of the mine cabin •*door sounded weirdly clear—a wail, aa omen, thought the Indian girl. An • awesome darkness filled the silent shed. Susie, on her knees, went creeptog, feeling with her hands for the • tflge ©f the shaft There she clutched the windlass post, and leaned her breast against it. "Frank," she cooed, in a low, sweet tone that wavered with the effort made to keep it cheerful, "Frank, my sunsfaiae— Frank." No sound save that a piece of rock, somewhere down along the piekscarred walls of the shaft, loosened and fell, down and down, striking the sides with diminishing sounds, till a ghostly Across the floor of the cabin at last she fell with the burden. The limplsh arms went dangling at random about her neck la a ghastly embrace that thrilled her keenly with joy. Exhausted she lay, fondling the hands and face, trying to rub him back to life, till the chili of long-dead clay was come, and the face seemed carved in stone. ^ Through the night, bending above him. she poured out a fountain of her love and grief alternately with all the softness of her Indian cooings and cadence of her mellowed English syllables. Grey morning found her wooing still the smile on the dead man's lips, striving, yearning to warm the cold, white features. The small, broad miner, passing the cabin when noon was high, delayed for a second. "Letter for Henley," he stolidly announced; but tossing it in, beheld the girl, beheld the miner, and fled the hill to spread the news of the sight he had seen, and to fetch away the coroner. CHAPTER III. In the sage brush wigwam the summer waned to autumn with dreary stillness. Grey already, -the strete brush, relieved alone by the willow fringe of the wandering creek, was cheerless, dreary and oppressive to the girl. She sat alone, while the chilling wind was wantonly ripping the leaves from the branches, her head drooped low in hopeless despair. _ A shadow, thrown by the setting sun, betrayed a presence. Dumbly she raised her eyes to look. "Ugh," said a tall, grunting Washoe buck. She turned away her head again. "Mahala, do you wait for Mlugo?" said the man. "Johnny Shag is bigger chief. 'Mingo shall never come." She looked in silence on the ashes of the wood burned the day before. "Mahala," he added, "one, two moons Jonny Shag come to take you the trail to my wigwam. Why not any lalk? Too long, you sabbec? Mahala waits for Mingo. Better look out Mahaia; Jonny Shaj is warrior. To-diy you better talk." stream nursing her baby, cndUng Jt 1 closely, warming it ever in her throbbing breast As the. twilight approached, the air was the balm of the Indian summer. x Rising, she placed her baby In the rustling grass; deftly she bent the subtle willows down—masses of willow —and throwing the grass, leaves and twigs. jQ«er all* made t r o o l to_c&tch the frost Into this with her child she crept, nestling it gently as before. Night came down. Quite late the babe awoke and feebly cried. She smothered it and sang, in her sadsweet voice, a lullaby: I hear the crickets sing in the long grasses; Many camp-fires of the braves shine in the sky— They shine again in the little river; The wind is small and gentle when it plays in your hair. Lie in my heart as the pebbles lie in the little river; As the crickets lie in the long grasses; Shine in my heart as the camp-fires shine in the sky; Sleep, little Fawn, till the sun comes over the mountain. The little Fawn slept, but never to wake till a greater sun should top the mountains of darkness, misery and despair. t Singing and cooing, Susie weaved in the darkness—unconscious of the flight —with the birds, toward the summer —of the new little soul. At-midnight, bending forward to kiss the downy eek, she was startled at'Its coldness. Hurriedly feeling the wee soft hands, the pulseless feet, the tiny body, she sounded the utmost depths of agony. She rushed from the shelter, the cold little body in her arms. By the light of the stars, the "fires of the braves," she saw the touch of the grim visitor. Then on the air of night arose a painsong out of a heart rudely brokea. She sank unconscious to the earth. Away off hillward a gaunt coyote howled an answer back, dismal, long, forlorn. The sun gilded the path to the heavens, and rose in purple mists of majesty; the beam-fingers played in the night-dark hair of the mother, and touched with gold the hair of the child. Dreaming the present far out of vision, dreaming the past into present again, the wan mother smiled and nodded in her sleep. Awakening, she shivered; a sigh that had rested was also aroused. Yet peace and patience W f ' W 5 • * • • echo announced Its bottom rest.

Suddenly, then, strengthened by the thought that he might be there, wounded, perhaps, and needing her sadly, down in the jgloom of the yawning mine, she /groped her way to the ladder. Moau- :ing of instinct, there in the darkness, •she slowly descended, down and down . in the mocking, echoing tomb. In the utter blackness her hands •discovered his faca, and Bhe cried aloud, till the shaft was full of an- . guish. -A boneless mass, inert and fitted to the jagged surface of the loaded buck- - et of ore, into which he had fallen, she found. His head hung limply athwart the bucftefs edge; the eyes, which her fingers sought, were closed.

She landed that a beat, slight and feebly lived la his breast Calling his name, ^whe coaxed and wooed, and then, despairing, stood up and prayed for •help.

Then i to the ladder! And with all the pow- •-er of arms and limbs, thewed by draperation against the giant tasjf, Bhe started toiling up and up, like one who "One moon, let me think," she wearily answered. "Let me wait ono moon." "One moon, yet. Jonny Shag will wait. Many things come before the moon again." He glided-uway, and again her head sank wearily down. Mingo, the Washoe, stealthily returning to Chloride hill, kept cautious ears and eyes awide, to learn the result of the murder at the mine. Susie, he rightly conjectured, would havo guessed the truth. He avoidod the wikiup, but remained in the town. Patience with many an Indian is a virtue. On a crisp, cool day, while Miiiso talked with a group or bucks on~a corner, Shag, on a pohy and armed with a rifle, rode up behind. Raising his gun, he deliberately shot Mingo through the body, and escaped to the hills. The thoroughly astounded camp officials promptly gave pursuit, but all smoulders up a crushing weight, to ,gaia the air and freedom.

Friends and relations of the dead man assisting, the country wa3 scoured, skillfully, cunningly. Canyons, valleys, the shoulders of the mountains, were traversed and searched, but nothing availed. Shag enjoyed e\- ery advantage. Three Indian trailers, mounted, came at length to where the fugitive was lying In ambush. One of these escaped with his life and rode like a demon to tell of the two, lying grisly and stark, struck in the back by the bullets of Shag, their faces now twisted in the sun. A stooping, stricken Washoe, the old Red Wolf, whose boys they were that had died in the sand, departed in silence, alone, on the path of war. The fued was his. In the night he found the man he sought, found him asleep —left him asleep—his knife standing firm, erect, buried to the hilt In the breast of Shag the warrior. The year grew old; its daysr TTRe the hours of waking of an old and passing man, were dim and short, its nights long sleeps, that made it none the stronger. And yet there came a day that was like an echo of what had been before the year began to age. Susie, w^u but wistful of face, went from the hopeless wigwam and hurried away up the moaning creek. She went to a copse of alder trees, entered and was lost to view. An hour later she slowly emerged and in her arms she carried a child, a little boy with fairest hair and the bluest of eyes.

Mr. McKay had been suffering for years with Diabetes and Rheumatism, which recently threatened to end his days. His limbs were so filled with pain that he could not sleep. He was very bad. Just .then, someone suggested a new remedy—Dodds Kidney Pills—which has been much advertised recently, as a euro for Bright's Disease, Diabetes,. Dropsy, Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble. After Mr. McKay had used a few doses he commenced to improve. His pain all left him, and he is almost as well as ever. He^says Dodd's Kidney Pills are worth much more than they cost.

And really, there was at least one boy—and on an average two or three—in every house on Meredith's side, except in the Crosspatch Man's house.* Oh, dear me, no, there weren't any boys there! On tiie other side of the street you had to skip the "middlest" house and Miss Quilhot and Miss Eromathea's— oh, yes, and the minister's house, of which Miss Quilhot and Miss Eromathea were old maids, and the minister —oh, no, he wasn't an old maid, but you couldn't expect him to have boys in the house, for how could he ever write his sermons? A Juvenile Sketch for Independence De*y < The Crosspatch Man was sick again, and this time it must be pretty bad, lor all the morning Meredith had been watching the servants spread straw before the house and muffle the big, shiny doorbell. "Poor man!"'mamma; said, pftljhglyT "He is sick so often!" "But he's a Crosspatch Man!" muttered Meredith stiffly. Then he repented and looked as shamefaced as a very little boy with a very round, dimpled face Could look. "I'm so sorry he's ve-ry sick," he said slowly. "1 s'pose it hurts even Crosspatch Men." Mamma did not notice. She was having her little noon "gossip" with papa, and they were still talking about their Invalid neighbor. "It isn't quite so bad as it scams, you know," papa was saying. "He always has the straw laid down and things muffled when he has one of his worse nervous attacks. It doesn't mean all that it does in most cases. He is terribly afflicted ,by noise at almost any time.' "Noise! I should think so!" That was from Meredith, who pricked up his ears at the word. Didn't he know how the Crosspatch Man felt 'bout a noise? Didn't he belong to the Rudd Street Second? Wasn't ho captain? And oh, my, the times he'd seen the Crosspatch Man a-scowling and afuming when they marched past his window! "But Fourth of July will be a terrible day to him—poor man!" went on mamma's gentle voice. That made Meredith start a little. He had been thinking about Fourth o' July, too. (Did he think of much of anything else nowadays?) He had been going over in his mind all the glorious program of the day. For the Rudd Street Second was going to celebrate in a worthy manner. They were going to oven outdo themselves this year—and- Another London church is to have the novelty of an outdoor pulpit like the one at S t Mary's Whitechapel. The new one is being erected at Christ church, Spitalfields, as a memorial to the late Dr. Billing, a former rector, and for many years bishop of Bedford. Like the open-air pulpit used at Whitechapel, the new one will look out from the church wall upon the open space of the disused churchyard, where an outdoor congregation can gather without any danger from street traffic. hadn't they had the proud honor of being the noisest street in the city for two Fourth o* Julys a-running? Let 'em lust wait till they heard this Fourth o' July! It was three days off. That would give the Crosspatch Man time to have thft a t r a w tftkon u p a n d thfl hall UPSHEER So it was, as I said, an unfortunate street to ha7^ "nerves" on. And the Crosspatch Man had so many! The three days between soon went away, and it was the night—tha very night—before It! There were only a few hours more', for,' of course, you dldnt' have to wait till the sun rose on Fourth of July. Meredith had drilled the Rudd Street Second for the last time and dispersed his men. He was on his way home to supper. Going by the Crosspatch Man's house, he neard voices distinctly issuing from an open window. He couldn't help hearing. It was so quiet in the street. Perhaps it was the "lull before the storm." "The sahib cannot bear :t," a gentle soothing voice was saying, but Meredith recognized the indignation mixed with the pity in i t . "The sahib will be again sick." Then came Meredith's astonishment, for the Crosspatch Man's voice was answering, and it was quite calm and gentle; and it said: "Of course I shall be sick again, Harill've made all my plans to perish. But what can'you expect? The little chaps must have their Fourth o' July. I was a little chap, myself—once. Shut tho window.Hari. There's a suspicion of a draught." Meredith stood still in sheer amazement, and watched the turban-man close the window. He was a little chap himself once, the Crosspatch Man was! And how kind his voice had sounded, too. It made him sorry for the crasspatch Man—sorrier than he haTTevef been before: " "He's a-dreadin' it like sixty. He's 'spectlnl—to perish," Meredith said aloud. "It's goin* to make him sick, of course—that's what he said to the turban-man. An' he was a little chap once, an' his voice was kind an' tired out." —TfieTi—Meredith went—ftome~ Try Grain-OS Try Gr*ln-Ot Ask your Grocer today to show you a package or GRAIN-O, the new food drink that takes U<* place of coffee.

'Then he'll have to cotton up his ears/' mused Meredith, philosophically, watching the big foreign servant that wore A turban go back and forth past the'Crosspatch Man's window. The house Meredith lived in and the Crosspatch Man's house were quite close together, so it was easy to watch things. Unfortunately for an invalid with the terrible affliction called "nerves," Rudd Street waa ^a-regular went-of. - boyaThey were boys everywhere on i t 'Yon- ran against boys when you went east, and boys ran against yon when yon went west Boys sprang up in the- most unexpected place*.

"I can say, 'Go, an' thou ghost," like the man in the Bible; bu$ they'll be dreadful disjointed, the Rudd Street Seconds will be. Still—well, he sick an* he had a kind spot in his voice, an' he used to be a little chap too, so of course he used to bang things an' make noises. I don't think he sounded much like a Crosspatch Man." In a little while, after a little more tough thinking, Meredith slipped down and out of the door, up the street. He got together the Rudd Street Seconds and made a little speech, as a captain may, to his men. The next day the city and all America celebrated J'ourth o' JulvP and Rudd Street was famous again, but this time for being the very quietest street in all the city! There were just as many boys in it, too, as^ever. The Crosspatch Man's white, nervous face smoothed and calmed as the day wore on, and at last it actually smiled in a gentle way, as if he was thinking about something pleasant. And the captain of the Rudd Street Seconds and his brave men, drilling and popping and banging in a distant street, were happy, too.—-Annie Hamilton Donnell.

Several big excursions will go from this vicinity and the popularity of the show will insure an enormous crowd. People from this locality should make an especial effort to arrive in time to see the new free street carnival which precedes the exhibition every morning at 10 o'clock. The procession is divided into thirty enormous section s each of which is a complete parade, and presents in its entirety a bewilderingly magnificent twomile carnival of pageantry, such as the word has never seen. In this gorgeous display are shown over 100 beautiful dens and cages, of wild animals, 500 horses, 30 elephants and nearly a thousand people, and the costumes throughout are of the finest silks, satins, and cloth of gold.

About this tilde of the year overseers of highways warn out the men of thejr respective district, plow up the center of the road, throw in roDts and sod from the sides and call it "working on the road."

It seems and is impossible to make roads by the present system, A road commissioner that will plow up a road should be asked to immediately resign his office and someone appointed who is up to date and knows his business.

There were several speakers who denounced the school in existence. We replied vigorously, showing the efficiency of the school and denouncing in turn the methods adopted by the op-1 position.

The first morning Wlthee let the dogs but for ,a run while he was getting the breakfast expecting them to be back In a short time. When breakfast was »ver, the dogs had not returned, so, taking his gun, Ux. WLthee started out In the direction they had taken. After traveling about a mile the faint barking of dogs could be heard, and it was then plain why the dogs had not relumed. They, had scented game and were in pursuit The sound of the barking led him far UQ, the side of a mountain, and soon he came in sight of the dogs standing around the upturned roots of a tree. Mr. Wlthee crept up cautiously until within about 15 feet of a cave that was near by, and then a black, shaggy head could be seen just above the roots. Taking good aim, he fired his .44 caliber and awaited results. After several minutes he went up to the cave, and what he saw there gave him a shock from which he has never recovered. Two bears lay dead, and two more were so stunned that a few quick passes with a knife settled them.

There is an odd fe;ttim> in the theology of the small Indian tribe of the Bella,Coola. which Inhabit British Columbia in about latitude o'2. They h> lievo that, there are live v orlds. one above the other, ami the middle one Is our own world, the earth. Above it are two heavens, and under it are two underworlds. In the upper heaven is the supreme deity, who is a woman, end she doesn't meddle much with the affairs in the second world below her. The zenith is the center of the lower heaven, and here Is the house of the gods, in which live the sun and the rest of the deities. Our own earth is believed to be an island swimming in the ocean. The first underworld from the earth is inhabited by ghosts who can return when they wish to heaven, from which place they may be sent down to our earth. If then they misbehave again, they are cast into the lower of the underworlds, and from this bourne no ghostly traveler returns.-' The Bella Coola are. sun worshipers, for Senex, the sun, the master of the house of gods, who also is called "the father" and "the sacred one," Is the only deity to whom the tribe pray. Each family of the Bella Coola has its own traditions and its own form of the current traditions, so that in the mythology of the tribe there are countless contradictions. When any one not a member of a clan tries to tell a tradition which does not belong to his clan, It is like a white man trying to tell another's joke—he is considered asiipproprlatlug the property right which HOPS not belong to him. 5 0 YEAR8* EXPERIENCE TRADE MARKS DCSIQNS COPYRIGHTS A C . .in 1« probably patentable.

Besides the bird is a, great diver, one of the kind that used to "dive at the flash"/ when bunted with the old arm that flashed, when fired. It Is of very little value for table use, being so tough. The only way to manage it at all Is to skin it and parboil it in a big pot wltly plenty of water. The ne- I groes make caps of Walloon skins. 'They are great ducks for diving," says a well known Tred Avon river progger. "They can dive quicker, go down deeper, remain under water longer and come up farther away than uny other duck that frequents our waters. I remember once I succeeded in killing a Walloon, and. being short of game for the table* 1 determined to cook • my bird. 1 got a negro to skin it. giving him the hide for bis trouble. After being cleaned we put it in a great pot full of water and under it kindled a hot fire. After a while I wanted to see how the cooking of my duck progressed and lifted the top off the boiling pot. but there was so much steam escaping I could not see into the pot and struck a match over it.

One cannot safely assume in these days that there is any region in which, such and such a journal is not read. Recently a certain humorist needed a rest and went and stopped in a cottage in a remote village by the sea. His sitting room opened on the kitchen, where his landlady, a woman widely esteemed as a person of great acumen and a maker-of phrases, was wont to receive the neighbors. He listened and put both landlady and neighbors into some auiusiug sketches which were promptly published in a Loudon magazine. A mouth or two went by. Then one afternoon he came back to the cottage to meet and cower before an indignant matron, who told him, among other,things,, that he had one hour in which to pack his traps and quit the village.

Hazen S. Pingree, ex-governor of-Miohigan, died in London.

That he was a remarkable man his career in Detroit and as governor of Michigan gives the most brilliant proof. He was a descendant of fine old Puritan stock and_ first saw the light In the rugged*ttle town of Denmark. Me., in 1840. At the age of 14 he left the rocky farm of his birthplace and went to Saco, Me., where for six years he worked in a cotton mill. From there he went to Hopkinton, Mass., where he became a cutter in a shoe factory. In August, lao2, Imbued with the patriotic ardor which was a characteristic of his ancestry, he enlisted In Co. F, First Massachusetts Heavy Artillery, his term of service expiring he promptly re-enlisted, ana with his regiment, took part in the second battle of Bull Run, the bames of Fredericksburg Road, Harris Farm.

Mayor of Detroit.. When he took the office ae mayor of the city he broaght to bear in the ottice of chief executive the same levelheaded business methods that had brought him success in the commercial world. The city's streets were in. a deplorable condition. Contractors had the city by the throat. He immediately began a campaign for better paved streets; urged a rapid transit system of street railways; a municipal lighting plant; a separation of grade crossings, and higher taxation of acreage property. He ignored the professional politician, and let loose an avalanche, of ideas regarding municipal government. In the second month of his term he proposed testing electricity as the motive power for street railways. At the end of six months hewas severely criticised by the Repub* lican party leaders at a Michigan club meeting for his appointments, and there was arrayed against bim many of the leaders of bis own party. He oven pursued his business methods regardless of political favor, to the exbonse of commons on the 17tbf Mr. Brodriek, the war secretary, aa4d there were 40,239 persona in the "concentration camp*" of the Transvaal mmi Orplan evolved.

In this- he waB most energetic. When Gen. Russell A. Alger was berated by the yellow journals of the east as secretary of war, Gov. Pingree was the first to- uphold him and criticise his detractors'. In the fall of 1«08 Mr. Pingree was re-elected governor by a plurality of 00,000. In '90 he secured the passage of a street railway municipal ownership bill by the legislature, and later endeavored to have the city buy the street railways for 117.500,000, and though business sentiment was almost unanimously -against the plan, he carried it once through the common council, and was only stopped untimately by a refusal on the part of Owner Wil son to extend the option on the property. As governor Mr. Pingree secured the passage of the law creating the state tax commission, which has equalized taxation throughout the state to a great degree. He also after his ad valorem taxation law was unconstitutional, secured an amendment to the constitution of the state whereby the present ad valorem bill was made valid. He likewise secured the repeal of all special railroad charters in the state.

Came t o D e t r o i t . "T" After this, service in the war Mr. : Pingree came to Detroit, being then 'J3 years of age, and began work In the shoe factory of II. P. Baldwin & Co., and in December, 18<Jt>. established the shoemaking firm of Pingree & Smitu, Iwlth a capital of but $1,300, with Charles II. Smith as his partner. Starting with eight employes during ;the first year, the firm, carried forward by Mr. Pingree's native energy and Yankee shrewdness, grew into an institution that employs 800 persons and has an annual output of $1,000,000. He became one of Detroit's foremost business men, and was known as an enterprising manufacturer. He was married in 1872 to Miss Frances A. Gilbert, of Mt. Clemens, and had three children, of whom Hazen S. Tingree, and Miss Hazel Pingree survive. Miss Gertrude Pingree. his eldest daughter, died in 1804, and her demise was one of the saddest blows experienced by Mr. Pingree. Mr. Pingree was a 32d degree Mason, a Shriner nnd a member of Detroit post, G. A. R. He attended the Woodward Avenue- Baptist church. I In 1887 there was a political landslide in municipal politics, the Democratic candidate carrying the city by a large majority, and in the fall of 1880 a large number of Republicans met upon invitation of James F. Joy to consider the nomination for mayor and endeavor to make such a selection as would regain the city to the Republicans. No Republican desired to run. Col. Henry M. Duttleld positively refused to run. Mr. Pingree's name was suggested, but he protested. ••No, no," he said, "I was never in the city hall except to pay my taxes. I will double my subscription for the campaign, but let me out." But a committee was appointed, and finally a reluctant consent was gained from Mr. Pingree to undertake the campaign. That was the beginning of a popular political career on the ex-governor that lis fame broadcast over the world. W a a Rnntly R e - e l e c t e * M a y o r . In 1801, when the time arrived for another mayoralty election. Pingree'* political prestige had not as yet reached the point which later made him so powerful, and there was some fear in the Republican camp that lie would be defeated. However, the Democrats got into a factional fight, ami John Miner and W. G. Thompson were both nominated, with the result that Pingree was re-elected, receiving more votes than both of his opponents. In nls second term Mayor Pingree took hold of many of his most successfill plans for city improvement. He declared for a comprehensive park system, and though his scheme to turn much of the down-town district of the city into a playground was sat upon as being too expensive, his agitation brought'about the estanlishment of a number of Detroit's present beautiful The grooved rails has even a dark look and-that comes from these whom he stood by through it all, thope whom he considered his friends and less culpable than others. The banquet given by him in the state capitol when carloads of viands and wine, and decorations were used, marked the end of his political career. That he wrought well for the interests of the people of his home city and the state in many ways evidences on every hand attest. That he made some mistakes there can be no denial. That he wa.s an honest, fearless and productive politician all admit. He was well fitted for the strenuous political life he led by the Inheritance of good blood and a strong physique, by the very climate of the state in which he was bom, and by his own rugged personality.

Cheaper gas wus also obtained through his efforts. In order to introduce the grooved rails into Detroit, he took the common council to Buffalo in a special car at his own expense. At bis request the council engaged two special cars and made a junket trip to Chicago, New York. Boston, Philadelphia and other eastern cities to inspect lighting plants, but incidentally looked Into ail lines of municipal work in order to gain ideas. Aside from the knowledge to be obtained the trip was a strategic move to gain the good-will of the aldermen toward the city ownership plan. When the legislature met the next year there was a fierce fight at Lansing, the electric lighting trust fighting the bill to cnnble the city to establish a plant, and there were charges of boodle In connection with the measure, which, however, went through, and was signed by Gov.

Justice of N«vr Mexico** Bwyreme Court Flrat Got a Surprise *m4 Aft* erward the Offlee. Late in the year 1900 It was decided by the powers In Washington that Mr. Daniel H. McMillan, ex-state senator of New York and for many years general counsel in the city of Buffalo for the Vunderbllt system of railroads, was to be appointed associate justice of the supreme court of New Mexico. This appointment had been urged not only by those who knew Mr. MeMHlan in the state of New York, but by lawyers of Santa Fe and of other cities in New Mexico who knew of him and desired to see him obtain the place. » Toward the close of 1900, with Governor Otero of the territory. Mr. Mc- Millan was on a Lake Shore train speeding toward Washington. When the train stopped at Painesville, 0., newsboys boarded it, and one of them called out: "All about the new supreme court Judge of New Mexico. t Silas Alexander appointed." The governor of the territory and Mr. McMillan looked at each other, and they bought a paper, and in> that paper they read in glaring headlines that Silas Alexander of Santa Fe had received the appointment to the vacant judgeship. Mr. McMillan the morning of his arrival in the capital went at once to the office of the secretary of war. "How did it happen I was not appointed?" he asked. "Why," said Mr. Root "you are appointed!" "Why," said Mr. McMillan, *'you are mistaken." And he drew from his pocket the Cleveland newspaper of the day before. Secretary Root turned all colors. "This is a mistake," he said; "an absurd, strange mistake, for I have it from the president's own lips, corroborated by Mr7 Griggs, attorney general, that your name was sent yesterday to the senate for action and that j the recommendation was duly signed i by President McKiniey." i Then the men went to the state, war j and navy building and found Attorney General Griggs. "But you have been given the apa m"eMenger came in reeyonee u« «*r quested the attendance of the clerk In confidential relations with him. whose duty it la to fill In upon appointment blanks the names of those who are designed for appointments by the executive. The clerk appeared. "Mr. Blank," i said tbe attorney general "find out at once whose uame was sent yesterday to the senate with the recommendation by the president that he be, appointed associate justice of tbe supreme court of New Mexico," "I will look," said the clerk. He toon returned with a memorandum slip in his band. "Mr. Alexander," he said—"the man from Buffalo." Then a glimmering -of the truth dawned upon the group* "Are you sure," said Attorney General Griggs, "that the name was not McMillan?" "Certainly," was the reply. "The name was Silas Alexander." The situation was remarkable, and time was important. The president of the United States had inadvertently, by the error of a subordinate, been made to set aside the man whom he had intended to name. There came a pause. Mr. Griggs broke the silence. "Well, gentlemen," he said, 'the fat is In the fire, but we must get it out My subordinate has made this mistake, and I must do my best to get it recti- [ am pleased to inform the patrons along the routes tbat the F.

And so the three men went to the president and explained matters, and as a consequence a messenger, preceded by a telephone message, sped rapidly toward the capltol with instructions to seek Immediately the leader of the senate and prevent any action on the mistaken nomination and to make the statement to that leader tbat it was withdrawn. The messenger arrived just as the senate was about to take action, and if the telephone had been relied upon the nomination of Silas Alexander would have been confirmed by the United States senate, and the will of the presldent of tbe republic would have been defeated.—Saturday Kvening Post Tbe world owes every man a living, but doesn't furnish a collector.—Denver Times.

In 1863 they moved to Pinckn^ y and tor 38 years she has lived in this community. Som« years ago her parents died and in 1894 her brother Anson passed away. With him Miss Elizabeth and Miss Harriet had lived—the latter being called home in 1896. One lister Mrs. Brown and one brother Erie Campbell, survive her. For about a year her health had l.een failing. In the midst of affliction she was cheerful, patient and interested in all that was transpiring.

Washington, June SO.—A delicate a^rd difficult duty is by Dr. Talmage In t£iis discourse urged upon all, and especially upon those given to quick tamper; text, Epheeians Iv, 26, "Be ye angry and sin not" Equipose of temper, kindness, patfenoe, forbearance, are extolled by vuost of the radiant pens of Inspiration, but my text contains that which at first tight Is startling. A certain kind of anger Is approved—aye, we are commanded to indulge In It. The most of «s have no need to cultivate high temper, and how often we say things and do things under affronted impuse which we .are sorry for when perhap3 it is too late to make effective apology! tWny, then, should the apostle Paul dip bis pen In the Ink horn and trace upon parchment, afterward to be printed upon paper for all ages, the injunction, "Be ye angry and sin not?" My text commends a wholesome indignation. It discriminates between the offense and the offender, the sin and the sinner, the crime and the criminal — To Illustrate: Alcoholism has ruined more fortunes, blasted more homes, detroyed more souls, than any evil that I itnk of. It pours a river of poison and Ire through the nations. Millions have died because of it, and millions are dying now, and others will die. Intern-' perance is an old flln: The great Cyrus, writing to the Lacedemonians of himself, boasted of many of his qualities, among others, that he could drink and .bear more wine than his distinguished brother. Louis X and Alexander the Great, died drusk. The parliament of .Edinburgh In 1661 is cal1ed in history rtthe drunken parliament." Hugh Miller, the first stone mason and afterward a world renowned geologist, writes of the drinking habits of his «Jay, saying: ^When the foundation jpas laid, they drajik. When the walls Vyere leveled for laying the joists, th*y <drank. When the building3 ware finished, they drank. When an aporentice joined, they drank." In the eighteenth Century the giver of an entertainment boasted that none of the guests went a^way sober. Noah, the first ship captain, was wrecked—not in the ark, for that was safely landed—but he was . wrecked with strong drink. Every man ••or woman rightly constructed will txinsh with indignation at the national and. international and hemispheric and planetary curse. It is good to bs aroused against It. You come out of that condition a better man or a better woman. Be ye angry at tint abomination, and the more anser the more ex- : altation to character. But that aroused feeling becomes sinful when it extends to the victim of this gr-at evl. D nnkenness you are to hate with a vivid hatred; but the drunkard you are to #Ity, to help to extricate. f Pr<xtrat»<! b* A»<nhoil«m. V Just take into consideration that there are men and women who once vrpiTR as upright as yourself who have cardl*#^B#clicking chips or the turning wfce:<l or the bids of the Stock Exchange, where people soil what they never owned and fall because they cannot get paid for it. A prominent banker tells me that he thinks 60,000 people financially prostrated by the recent Insanities in Wall street. Hare and there a case Is reported, but the vast majority suffer In silence. The children are brought home from school the wardrobe be denied replenishment, the table will have scant supply, wild generosity will be turned into grim want Forty years from now will be felt the disaster of last month's black Thursday, Can you hear the story of the unprincipled manipulators of stocks and of the devices of the gambling saloon to entrap the verdant and unsuspicious without having your pulses tingle, and your heart thump, and your entire nature shocked with the villainy? If so, you are not much of a man or much of a woman. You ought to be angry, for there Is no sin in such vehement dislike. You ought to be so angry that you could not repress your feelings in the presence of young men who are just forming their life theories. In every possible way you ought to denounce such stupendous robbery. Let it be known that the only successful game in which a man plays for money is the one which a man loses all and stops. Indlcrn«t'o-i OVPV Fmod. There is another sin that we are oftentimes called to be angry with, and thatIsfraud.Wealllikehonesty,and when it is sacriflecd we are vehement in denunciation. We hope that the detectives will soon come upon the track of the absconding bank official, of the burglar who blew up the safe, of the clerk who skillfully chauged the figures in the account beok, of the falsifier who secured the loan on valueless property, of the agent who because of his percentage wrongfully admits a man to the benefit of a life insurance policy when his heart U ready to stop and who comes from an ancestry characteristically short lived. One act of fraud told of In big headlines in the morning papers rightfully arouses the nation's wrath. It is th? interest of every good man and good woman who reads of the crime to have it exposed_ana- punished. Let it go unscathed, and you put a premium on fraud, you depress public morals, you induce those who are on the fence between right and wrong to get down on the wrong side, and you put the busbeen prostrated by alcoholism. Perhaps It came of a physician's presc;ip-. tlon for the relief of pain, a recurrence d the pain calling for a continnanco <jt the remedy; perhaps the grandfather was an inebriate and the temp:atflon to Inebriety, leaping over a generation, has swooped on this unfortunate; psrhaps it was undrr an a"> 'tempt to drown trouble that the benumbing and narcotic liquid was 'sought after; perhaps it was a gradual chaining of the man with the beverage which was thought to be a servant, when one day it announced itself master. Be humble now, and admit that there is a strong probability that under the same circumstances you irself might have been captured, is two appropriate emotions for you . 44 allow are indignation at the intoxi- H|Sjit which enthralled and sympathy *tor the victim. Try to get the sufferer rout of his present environment; recommend any hygienic relief that you 4cnow of and, above all, implore the ditto* rescue for the struggle In which so many of the noblest and grandest have been worsted. Do not give yourself up to too many philippics about wihat the man ought to have been and • ought to have done. While your cheek ^flushes, with wrath at the foe that has •brought ruin, let your eye be moisten- "6d with tears of pity for the sufferer. tin that way you will have fulfilled the injunction of the text, "Be ye angry tand sin not."

Twenty years ago it was estimated that the average gam- Ibllag exenange 01 money througnouT <jhristcndom exceeded $123,100,000,000 •a year.

The constabulary and penitentiary must do their work. But while the merciless and the godless cry: "Good for him! I am glad he is within prison doors!" be it your work to find out if the man is worth saving and what were the causes of his moral overthrow. Perhaps he started in business life under a tricky firm, who gave him wrong notions of business integrity; perhaps there was a, combination of circumstances almost unparalleled for temptation; perhaps there were alleviations; perhaps he was born wrong and never got-over it; perhaps he did not realize what he was doing, and if you are a merciful man you will think o' other perhaps which, though tiny may not excuse, will extenuate. Perhaps he has already repented and is washed in the blood of the Lamb and is as sure of heaven as you are. What an opportunity von hava nr>w tnr ^hoy. ing my text. You were angry at the misdemeanor, but you are hopeful for the recovery of the recalc'trant. Blessed all prison reformers! Blessed are those governors and pres'dsnts who are glad when they have a chance to pardon! Blessed the forgiving, father who welcomes home the prodiga1. Blessed the dying thief whom the Lord took with him to glory, saying, "Thif day shalt thou be with me in para dise!" H«lp for the Cnb-Ilerer. Have a lightning in your eye and a flush in your cheek and a frown on your brow for a daslardy "that would blot out the sun and moon and stars of Christianity and leave all things in an arctic night, the cold equal to the darkness. You do well to be angry, but how about those who have been flunsr of scepticism, and that is more ml lions than you will ever know of until the Judgment day reveals everything Ah, here comes your opportunity fo gentleness, kindness, and sympathy.

The dipping proce s is as follows: (1) Select a dip containing sulphur. Jf a prepared dip. is used which does not contain sulphur? It is alwayr safer to add about 16½ pounds of sifted lowers of sulp*hur to every 100 gallons Df water, especially if, after dipping, the sheep have to be returned to the ?ld pastures. (2) Shear all the sheep at the one time, and Immediately after shearing lonflne them to one-half the farm for two to four weeks. Many persons prefer to dip Immediately after shearing. (3) At-the end of this time dip evary sheep (and every goat also, If there are any on the farm). (4) Ten days later dip the entire flock a second time. (6) After the second dipping, place the flock on the portion of the farm from which they have been excluded during the previous four or five weeks. (6) Use the dip at a temperature Qi 100 degrees to 110 degrees J>\ (7) Keep each sheep in the dip for two minutes by the watch—do tfot guess at the time—and duck Its head at least once. i l8j Be careful in dipping rams, as they are more likely to ue overcome In the dip than are the ewes. n9) Injury may, however, result to "pregnanT ewes, which must, on this account, be carefuLy handleu Some farmers arrange a stage with sides, to hold the pregnant ewes, which Is lowered carefully into the vat, and raised after the proper time. (10) In case a patent, or proprietary, dip, especially an arsenical dip, Is used, the directions given on the package should be carried out to the letter. • • • Whatever dip Is selected, the farmer should not forget that there are two ways to use that dip. One way is to prepare and use it In accordance with the directions given; the other way 13 to attempt to economize time, labor, o.- money by using the dip in weaker proportion than advised, byimrrying th.3 sheep through the swim, or by latef placing the dipped sheep under unfavorable, conditions. If the former method is adopted With any of the established dips, the treatment ought to ba followed with favorable resulis; If th.-s latter method is adopted, the farmer elaborate C U u ^ ^ p / lk» 4 » i b w » / » Cofes* The ceremony of the Grand Medicine la an eaborate tttfcal, covert.g levcrai dajs, 'the endless number cf gods and spirits be.ng called upon to minister to the tick man and to lengthen his life.

Every farmer should, therefore, remember that when he has decided upon the d.p he is to use, h-s work has only begun; to use the dip properly is fully as important as to use a dip at all. Sulphur is one of the oldest known remedies for scab, its use dating bacic to Columella in the early part of the Christian era. As a scab eradicator, it must be placed among the best substances at our disposal. It is one «f the constituents of certain proprietary dips, but its use to t^e farmer is test known »n the tobacco-and-sulphur dip and in the lim<* and-sulphur dip. These home-made mixtures are the two dips which have ph«ed the moat important roles In the eradication of scab from certain English co.oiiies, and their use, especially the u*:e as well as the abuse of lime and sulphur, is quite extensive In this country.

Pr«»*ervwtlv»» Not Needed. At the Vermont State Dairy convention held recently Maj. Henry E. Alvord, chief of the Dairy division of the department of agriculture, stated that the experiment of shipping butter 1.0 fbreign markets had begot the confidence of foreign merchants, by showing them that Americans could furnish an excellent quality of butter and place it on their markets in as good condition as other countries. Partly as the result of the department's work, there was more demand for American butter and cheese abroad than our merchants could supply. He did not believe In the use of preservatives In butter. Great Britain was the best market to cultivate, and no preservative was needed to send butter there. Sweden and Denmark boasted that they could send butter there without preservatives. Even butter color was not needed for the best butter market in all England—Manchester. In order to. compete successfully with Sweden, Denmark and Canada, what was needed; on dairy exports was the official stamp, of approval by this government, guar* anteelng the purity. If butter is of excellent quality, it would sell abroad Tn any kind of package, but tastes and preferences should " be studied.

Oopyrifbted VBl by Bobert Bonner's Sons. W iMTKuBocnoN. ' Boram. King: of Damascus, then at Its glory as the senith city of the east, bemoaned the coming of old age without .prospective heir to the throne. In his younger days h* had loved Helen, his.Queen, but tearing that she Hraa disloyal to him had her cast into the black, swift flowing Phorpar. At the time the story opens Ulin, the daughter of Aboul Caasem, the king's nrime minister, three times dreams that she has become the wife of the king and that a son being born to them is heir to the throne. Cassem telte the story to the king. The latter having long admired the many charms of Ulin, seeks an interview with her and on the aixth day following they are to be married. He thereupon abolishes his harem. Within the week Albia, the pretty slave mald-in-watingJai Ulin, lells the story of the trag.c fate at Helen. The story makes a deep impression and preys upon the mind of Hbe lbride-to-be. But her father urge3 &ertan and she now deems it a sac:el •duty tto become the queen. On the morning set for the wedding Ulin a joapther dies. According to the laws of Damascus she must go into mourning retirement for thirty days. Hsram agrees with her father that she shall pass the period of mourning in a secluded palace in the beautiful Valley of Lycanius. This valley is the sole possession of the king and can only be reached^by onec passage through a mighty mountain; capable of admitting but one person at a time. , Thither Ulin goes with Albia, where they afe placed under the protection of the attendants by the king and Uln's father. Six days after their entering Horam returns unexpectedly. Ulin acting on the suggestion of Albia, treats him kindly. OIIAl'TEIt I. Julian the Scouge. She asked if her father had come. "iso, my sweet laay," returned Horam. "He was busy. It may app.ar unseemly for me to come hither aloae; but my great love and my deep so icitude for your welfare, must be my excuse. 1 nope you have found it pieas^ ant here." The maiden said she could not have asked for a more pleasant place of abode. The king was charmed by her smiling speech—so different from what siie had ever before given him—and he fondly believed that she was deUghtei with his presence. Ulin, fearing that the least sign of coldness or reserve might excite the jealousy of the grey-headed-monarch, and bring down upon her some terrible evil, exerted all her powers of p.easantness, and wore the smile upon her face while a pang was in her bosom. But Horam's visit was destined tJ be cut short. While he was, for the sixth time making excuses for his visit the door of the apartment was unceremoniously opened and a black entered—not one of those who had been on guard in the valley but a stranger to VIin. covered with sweit and dust, as though he had been riding hard and fast. "Ha!" cried the king, starting to his feet. ''How now, Sadak? What is the meaning of this?" "Pardon, sire. I knew not that you were thus engaged. They only toid me that you were here and I stopped to inquire no further." "Not that—not that Sadak. Why have you come from Damascus in such ,hot haste?" "I came to inform you sire that Julian the Scourge of Damascus is approaching our city!" "Death and devastation!" cried Horam starting back with alarm. "How know you this?" "We heard from him by way of a merchant who was in a caravan that he had robbed." "What caravan?" "The caravan from Tadmoor, with the riches which were on their way from Bassona.** "Those riches were mine," said Horam. • "Aye, aire; and Julian took them— took all that belonged to you, but spared the poorer merchants. But that is not the worst He sends word that he will lay Damascus in ashes. Aboul Caaaem hade me hasten hither and give yam warning." The king was fairly beside himself with fear and rage. The name of Julian was a terror to him, and at the sound thereof he trembled exceedingly. And he seemed to fear more than the mere physical prowess of the Scours*. There was a mystic Quality in his Jaar —a nameless dread of the avenger. "Where is the demon now?" he asked, after he had gased awhile in si ence upon the messenger. "He is not far from the city, sire. Somewhere to the eastward, we think. Tour Journey beck, if you make haste, will be safe." ^ 1 wiltireturt^crfed thr monarchr •mitin* his fiats together; "and I will »ui**** uw u*i «,4u«y uuu Bw<*ciJ utiA terrible 8courge from off the face of the earth!" He bade Sadak go and make ready for the start, and then he turned to Ulin. "You will be safe here, sweet one; and it will not be long before our happiness shall be complete." His words of parting were few, far he was much excited, and his vo.ca trembled as he spoke. He turned back once after he had reached the door, as though he would say something, but finally went away without giving the intended speech. From a window Ulin watched the royal cavalcade until It had disappeared within the narrow pass, and when the last man had gone from her sight she turned to her companion. "Albia, what is it about this terrible robber—this Scourge of Damascus? I have heard something about him. I heard my father once speak of him; but my little knowledge of the world did not lead me to be inquisitive. Do you know anything about him?" "I have heard a great deal of him, my lady. He has been a terror to Damascus for a great many years. "How many years, Albia? I was thinking that my father, said he had not been long known in this section." "I may he mistaken," said A.bla, trying to recollect herself. "I know that he is a terribie Scourge, and that men fear him; but I do not know how many years he has been so. It may not be so many as I thought." "But who is he? Where did he come from?" "Ah, there is a mystery, my dear mistress. Nobody knows where he came from; but it is said that he is one whose family has suffered some great calamity at the hands of Horam. He is alona in the world, so far as relatives are concerned, and Horam hath done it; and so he comes to seek vengeance. He has a large body of bold men under him, and twice has he met and overcome the forces which the king had sent out to capture him. He does not rob as common robbers do. _He never troubles the poor, or thosa of the middle class; but the ruler3 and princes of Damascus he causes to suffer." "Did you ever see him, Albia?" "Mercy! no. I would not see him.far the world. He must be terribe to look upon. I have heard one of your father's officers say that he could strike a b:ow with his fist to fell an ox. and that before the lightning of his eye brave men shrank in terror. O, I should be afraid to see him." "It seems to me that I shouM like to see such a man," said Ulin, in a musing tone. "I have never seen such men. The man whose arm can strike down an ox, and whose eye flashes forth such power, could not harm a helpless maiden." "Upon my life, you have a curious taste," Albia returned. "Because," added Ulin, with a smile, "I never had my taste cultivated. Still, in all seriousness, it does seem to me that 1 should lo4v. e to lean upon a strong, bold man. If I were to love a man with my whole heart, I should like him to be so strong and so powerful and so brave, that his very presence would be protection to me. Is that very strange?" "It is so strange," replied the slave, significantly, "that I fancy,the king would feel new cause for jealousy if he should hear you say so." "When I am the king's wife I shall be true to him, and I shall honor and respect him. I will love him if I can. But, Albia, there is no need of saying more. We will have our dinner, and then we will walk out into the garden." Suddenly a messenger appears asking for assistance from the guard. With 50 stalwart guards he hurries toward the gates. "What can it be?" cried the princess, in alarm. But Albia could not imagine. She could only beg of her mistress to take courage, and hope for no evil. Ere long, however, another messenger came to the palace, who made his way to the room where the princes3 was sitting. He trembled with excitement. "How now, Aswad?" demanded Ulin. "What is the meaning of all this disturbance?" "Alas, my lady, an enemy is at our gates. The terrible Scourge of Damascus demands entrance into the valley." "What does he seek?" "I dare not tell you?" "What seeks he?" cried the princess, authoritatively. ''If there is danger, I would know what it is." "There msynsot be danger~for you, lady. We may beat the robber off. We will do so If we can." "But the king told me that a handful of determined men could hold that pass against a thousand." —"But these are not ordinary men. This Julian is a very demon, and I •verily beU eve that,he hsth more than human power. Still we will do the 1 beat that we can." i ''You have not told me what he ' seeks. Answer me that question—answer It without further hesitation." "He seeks the maiden whom the king is to take for a wife," "Seeks me?" uttered the princess, with a start. "Yes, my lady. Such is his avowal." "la mere?'* name, jtood Aswad, -pro-- tect me. Let not that dreadful robber gain access to the valley." "Hurry, hurry!" cried Albia, "Away to your companions, and bid theja strain every nerve. If they suffer the Scourge of Damascus to gain pa sage hither they know what the wrath of the king must be." "Poweis of heaven!" cried Ulin with clasped hands and quivering frame "the demon must not find us.' "You are not so anxious to sse him as you were" remarked Alb.a. "I thought your whim was a strange one." "Speak not qf that" said Ulin quickly and severely. "I meant not that I wou.d have -him come to seek me. O Albia, what can he want?" "Indeed, my mistress, I dare not think. But let us lcok in another direction. If he does not find us, we care not why he comes. Ha! See! Hire comes Aswad again. He looks frightened." Aswad entered the chamber with trembling step and seamed afraid to speak; but the demand of the princess opened his lips. "Lady, I fear that the robber will prevail against us. He is accompanied by fierce, furious men, who fight 1 ke lions.and his own Bword is irresistible. His body is covered with scales of finest steel and the blows of our men fall harmless upon him." "But the dreadful man has not yet broken through?" said Ulin eagerly. "No, lady. Our brave meu fight as well as they can." "Has the robber entered the pass?" "Not far." "Then you may hold him at bay yet. O, Aswad, if you would be blessed forevermore let not the Scourge gain ths valley!' "We will do our best, lady; but you must be prepared for the worst. If we are finally overcome you must hide yourse.f." "Where? Where can we hide?"asked Albia. I "In the palace or somewhere in the j gardens; or upon the mountains." "There is no hiding place which a ' keen eye would not detect. I have looked in every direction. So, Aswad, save us by your stout arms." "I fear the demons will prevail," said Ulin, in a tone of breathless suspense. "I dare not hope otherwise," returned Albia. • ' " . "If they do come, we must find some place in which to hide." "Alas, my dear mistress, there is no such place. If we go up among the rocks, we not on y run the risk of baing easily found, but we run the greater risk of starving." "I would rather starve than fall into the dread Julian's hands," said Ulin. "It would be a terrible death to starve, upon those bleak rocks!" returned Albia, with a shudder. "But I will share your fate, my mistress, let it be what it may." "And would not death by starvation be preferable to the fate which m st meet us if that monster captures us? m."W ass = = r ?

This is evidently founded on the idea that beer is not harmful, and contains a large amount of nutriment; also On the first of next J a n u a r y it is said that the Michigan Central will put on a suburban service between Detroit and Jackson and would make rates to compete with the electric lines. They wil1 put on just as many trains as the traffic will warrant and will make stops at every little place along the line. This with the two electric lines that aie to run parallel with the Central will be able to oarry all passengers, and no doubt t h e ones who travel will choose the most comfortable way.

APPLE BORERS, Three Remedies All Old, but Hot Tot Improve* Upon. Now, borers are difficult things to fight under all circumstances, and no course of treatment Is known which will entirely eradicate them. Nevertheless every one that is killed is just so much gained for the general good. There are three practices that have been found useful, though no one of them, or all of them combined, will rid an orchard of an insect that breeds In so many host trees. They are the same old remedies recommended many yean ago and which have not since been improved upon. They consist In protecting by meant of a wash, binding the trunk with paper and digging out the young larvae. - -Whitewash or-^wfaltewaefa and glueapplied to the trunk and large limbs is said to have a very beneficial effect It should be applied early in June and kept on in good condition through most of July.

Third,—Searching for the young larvoe during August aud September. At this time the young have not gone into the sap wood, but live in cavities just under the bark, the excrement being pushed through small holes. When any Tusptctotre—waste ts seen protruding from the bark, it is well to investigate with a stiff pin and if a. cavity is found to extract the occur mnt before iie goes so deeply into the wood as to_- be beyond our reach.

The Cosmopolitan Sheep. The Merino as an intensely cosmopolitan sheep stands without a peer. He thrives on the rich alluvial bottom lands, presenting a rotundity of form that would do credit to some of the smaller mutton breeds, and yields annually a heavy fleece of admirable •wool. We find this same hardy, contented breed in flocks of 2,000 grazing upon the plains and mountain heights, industriously nipping the tender herbage, without a sign of constitutional defect in the whole flock. It is these peculiar traits of character that so eminently fit the Merino for transient sheep husbandry. This breed large'y predominates in the semlarid regions and is found to be perfectly suited to conditions prevailing there. The ewes cross well with the Downs and long wools, and lambs from those crosses are quite popular with the butcher and feeder. Wow They Are Married.

The first known of his disappearance was when his wife and son made inquiry of the Detroit police concerning him. They said there had been a little family quarrel on Sunday, and that he left the house In a rage. They did not think anything about It until they found In a desk a Lote, presumably written by the missing man. but not signed. In which it was stated that the writer had gone to Detroit to drowu himself in the Detroit river.

General Harrison also owned at the time of his death Berkeley Lodge, his summer home in the Adirondacks, and property in Washington, D. C , and North Bend, O. In consequence of the increased demand for horse flesh as an article cf food, the Hygt«n1c~S3c1ety of F a n s h -s urged upon the municipal council the necessity of providing a larger slaughter house than that at present exist ng where animals that have outrun f i e r usefulness as carriers and haulers may be killed and cut up for the butchers. Only about twenty horses can be ki l:d and disposed of dally at the present slaughter house, and it is estimated that a place with a kiring capac ty of not lets than 30,000 a year is necessary to keep up with the demands of the Parisians for ths meat. A New YorK dairyinau-^takes the suggestion that farmers who are supplying city markets should name their places, and so establish a sort of trademark for their products. "Lookout Farm," for instance, would stick In the memory of customers, and if the name were stamped on super or articles only, it would not be long before the Lookout Farm butter, cheese and eggs woa.d command the be3t prices. The dairyman adds that those who are looking for country places will give more for those that have an established name and reputation. In short, it would pay the farmer to advertise judiciously, as it pays any other business man. iu this village and vicinity are stlrreil as never before. Everybody Is expressing his opinion now that Bliss' body has been found, and Instead of Innuendoes open charges of foul play are being freely made. Homer Biiss confessed that he killed his father, Charles Bliss, but claims the shooting was accidental. He said that on the Sunday the old man left home, he found him in -ae woods near the house 1 the act of trving to shoot himself. He grappled with the old man for the possession of the gun, and in the struggle both barrels were discharged, and his father fell dead. He became seared- and buried the bodv under a brush heap, together w » ^ kae pun. Alter the officers, who came to the ho: .e to investigate the rumors of foul play, t a d left the vicinity, Homer says he dug up the body and wheeled it to where It was found last Sunday. Then he fixed the gun to make it appear that his father had committed suicide. TL-iiJi.. « Cook \K»nte fSO. < - fiamuel F.

NATHAN OFTME General Washington wanted a man. It was in September, 1776, at the City of New York, a few days after thy battle of Long Island. The swift and deep East River flowed between the The officers were conversinp in a group. No one had as yet spoken the. decisive word. Colonel Knowlton appealed to a French sergeant, an old soldier _.pf former wars, and asked Wm to volunteer. ' "No, no," said he. "I am ready to fight the British at any place and time, but I do not feel willing to go among them to be hung up like a dog." Captain Hale joined the group of officers. He said to Colonol Knowlton: "T V7J11 nnrinrtnkfl i t " ^ to New* York in one of his boats, and with him the fatal proofs that he was a spy. - September 21st was the day on which he reached New York—the day of the great fire which laid one-third of the little city in ashes. From the time of hi3 departure from General Washington's camp to t'aat of his return to Now York was about fourteen days. He was taken to General Howe's headquarters at the Beekman mansion, on the East river, near the corner of the -present—Fifty-first—street and—First two hostile armies, and General Wash- Ington had as yet no system established tor getting Information of the enemy's movements and intentions. He , never needed such information so much 4& at that crisis. What would General Howe do next? _U ha-crosa at Hell Gate, the American army, too small in numbers, and defeated the week before.might be caught on Manhattan island a3 in a trap, and the Issue of the contest might be made to depend upon a single battle; for In such circumstances defeat would involve the capture of the whole army. And yet General Washington was com- —petted to confess: "We cannot learn, nor have we been able to possess, the least information of late." Therefore he wanted a man. He wanted an intelligent man, cool-headed, skillful, brave, to cross the East River to Long Island, enter the enemy's camp and get information as to his strength and intentions. He went to Colonel Knowlton, commandig a re- {markably efficient regiment from Connecticut, and requested him to ascertain if this man so sorely needed could be found In his command. Colonel XKnowUon called his officers together, stated the wishes of General Washington, and, without urging the enterprise upon any individual, left the matter to their reflections. Captain Nathan Hale, a brilliant youth of 21, recently graduated from Tale college, was one of those who reflected upon the subject He soon reached a conclusion. He was of (he very flower of the young men of New England, and one of the best of the younger soldiers of the patriot army. He had been educated tor the ministry, and his motive in adopting for a time the profession of arms was purely patriotic. This we know from the familiar records of his life at the time m whsa the oa» to arms was first heard In addition to ma other gifts and graces, he was handsome, vigorous and athletic, all in au extraordinary degree, If he h&a live^ in our u&y he might have pulled, the stroke oar at New T^ndos or pitched for the college alas. Some of his best friends remonstrated. One of them, afterwards the famous Gen. William.Hull, then a captain in Washington's army, has recorded Hale's reply to hi3 own attempt to dissuade him. "I think," said Hale, "I owe to my country the accomplishment of an object so Important. I am fully sensible of the consequences of discovery and capture in such a situation. But for a year I have been attached to the army, and have not rendered any material service, while receiving a compensatlon for which I make no return.—Iwish to be useful, and every kind of service necessary for the public good becomes honorable by being necessary." He spoke, as General Hull remembered, with earnestness and decision, as one who had considered the matter well, and bad made up his mind. Having received his instructions, he traveled fifty miles along the Sound as far as Norwalk, in Connecticut. One who saw him there made a very wiss remark upon him, to the effect that he was "too good looking" to go as a spy. He could not deceive. "Some scrubby fellow ought to have gone." At Norwalk he^assumed the disguise of a Dutch schoolmaster, putting on a suit of plain brown clothes and a round, broad-brimmed hat He had no difficulty in crossing the Sound, since he bore an order from General Washington which placed at his disposal all the vessels belonging to Congress. For several days everything appears to have gone well with him, and there is reason to believe that he passed through the entire British army without detection or even exciting suspicion. Finding the British had crossed to New York, he followed them. He made his way back to Long Island, and nearly reached the point opposite Norwalk where he hand originally landed. Rendered, perhaps, too bold by success, he went into a well-known and popular tavern, entered into conversation with the guests and made himself very agreeable. The tradition is that he made himself too agreeable. A man present, suspecting or knowing that he was not the character he had assumed, quietly left the room, communicated his suspicions to the captain of a British ship anchored near, who dispatched a boat's crew to capture and bring on board the agreeable stranger M<« trust r h a r a r t f t r w n « ImratvHatflly vs>. vealed. drawings of some of the British works, with notes in Latin, wero found hidden in the soles of his shoes. Nor did ho attempt to deceive !)le capors, and tae ifinglleh :aptaia, iamenting, as he saga, that " s o fine a fellow had fallen into his power,'* seat him avenue. It is a strange coincidence *hat the house to which he was brought to be tried as a spy was the very one from which Major Andre departed when he went to West Point. Tradition says that Captain Hale was examined in a greenhuuse which then stood in the garden of the Beekman mansion. Short was his trial, for he avowed at once his true character. The British general signed an order to his provostmarshal directing him to receive into his custody the prisoner convicted as a spy, and' to see him hanged by tha neck "tomorrow morning at daybreak." Terrible things are reported of the manner in which this noble prisoner, this admirable gentleman and hero, was treated by his jailer and executioner. There are savages in every large, army, and it is possible that this provost-marshal was one of them. It is said that he refused him writing materials, and afterward, when Captain Hale had been furnished them by others, destroyed before his face his last letters to his mother and to the young lady to whom he was engaged to be married. As those letters were never received, this statement may be true. The other alleged horrors of the execution it is safe to disregard, because we know it was conducted in the usual form and in the presence of many spectators and a considerable body of troops. One fact shines out from the distracting confusion of that morning, which will be cherished to the latest posterity as a precious ingot of the moral treasures of the American people. When asked if he had anything to say, Captain Hale replied: "\ only regTet that I have but one life to lose for my country." The scene of his execution was probably an^ old graveyard in Chambers street, which was then called Barrack street. General Howe formally notified General Washington of his execution. In recent years, through the industry of investigators, the pathos and sublimity of these events have been in part revealed. TT-I « ^,. , which create monopolies to control A\hen Gov.

Unable because of other important dirties to accept the Invitation to take in the great convention of Chrls- Endeavorers at Cincinnati, began week, I preach a sermon of congratulation for all the members of that magnificent association, whether now rhered in vast assemblage or busy their places of usefulness, transatlantic and cisatlantic, and as it is j^fMr harvest time in the fields and cfofclca are fiaching in the gatherings i a great crop, I find mighty sugges- 4kfseness in my text. ft is a picture of a tropical clime, tsfth a season so prosperous that the flMT^t rpnf:hr\a clear over to the Ranting time, anil the swarthy hupt& ndman, busy cutting the grain, almost feels the breath of the horse3 ^D his shoulders, the horses hitched to t> plow, preparing for a new crop, ehold the d;iys come, saith the Lord, t ^ a t the plowman shall overtake the -^baper.** When is that?

Half an hour passed, and she had not been troubled; but during that time she had witnessed transaction) which were not calculated to allay her fear*. She had seen over fifty of iha king's guards bound and led away, aad she saw that a number of the ro'jLe.s had been placed on guard at the ent r a n t ' ^ i b * rocky. passage. They were wild, savage look.ng men, appeaxtas to her fear-wrought vis on, like t i e evil spirits she had heard har old black nurse tell ab.ut. At .length the sound of feat was heard near at hand, and very shcrtly the door of the apartment was opened, and a black slave entered, it was a woman, and ono cf those whom the king had left. **«Good lady," she said, trembling as s h e spoke, "the hour of doom has come. I am a slave to a new raas.er, a n d that master has sent me t o tell jrou that he wishes to see you." "Who ia he?" asked Ulin. "I don't know, but I .think :hc is Ju- 31an, the Scourge. His look ia lerribla.. Upon his brow sits thcthundercl ud, and in his eye flashes the forked lightn i n g ! " "Will he come up here?" "He said/So." "I h a v e / n o power to iinovent him. Tell him7 1 am weak and -Uefenceks3, and a t / t i s mercy." ThX slave bowed and withdrew, and in^tf little while some o n e e . s e came. A heavy footfall sounded without, and /the door was slowly and caraful.y opened. But, who i3 this? What spirit has thus appeared in the palace! A man had entered ±he_ chamber a.ono. He was youthful—not more than "three 67 four-and-twenty—with- kindly look, and cf noble bearing. He \va3 not larger of frame than common men; but the perfect symmetry of form, the exact correspondence cf all the parU; the delicate rounding of the graceful outline,—and the—filling up of—appoints where sources of strength cou'.d be deposited, gave token of a power which might lead the careless obsjrv^r to pro ounce him a giant. He gazed upon the beautiful miiden for some moments w-thout speaking, seeming to drink in a .new inspiration from ber loveliness, as the student of nature does when sonic new and unexpected scene of grandeur bursti upon his vision. "Fair lady," he said in softest tone3, "permit me to hope thai this intrusion may be pardoned. I would not £ i v j you pain, and if yon li;-.ve been alarmed, be assured that ynu have caus? ~tor~rt-no—more.—Tull UJU how I—mayserve you." He approached her a s he spoke, and she, Without hardly realizing what s'le did, 'arose and gave him her hand. H he had gazed upon her with admiration, her own feelings had not besn entirely different. Her woman's instinct told t c r thnt here was a man whom she could tru:t; and her woman's heart beat with an emotion entnrely new and strange. "Noble sir," s h e said, meeting h: s gaze with the strength of perfect trustfulness, "Heaven ha3 sent 3'ou to .save me Irom t h e dread man who has made his way to this place. If you have the power to do it, you will lead me to bless you fo:eve:more;" "Of what m a n do you spsak?" asksd t h e stranger, still hoMing her hands. "I speak of him who is known as the Scourge of Damascus—of the terrible Julian." The man was silent for a few moments, but ho did not withdraw his gaze from the maiden's face. "Sweet lady," he at length sa'd, «peaking very lowly and tenderly, "I a m informed that the king of Damascus has sent you hither to keep you safely until he can mak3 you hU srtfe." ">He hath done so, sir." "And yet it_seems that he did not provide so wisely, after all. Would you wish to be carried to the king?** "No, no, sir—not tp the king, I would be carried to my father." There could be no mistaking the character of the emotions'under which the princess spoke. With all the king's power her hope was not in him. The stranger marked the changes of her countenance; and, while a warmer light shone in bis handsome eyes, he resumed— •'I cannot say when you shall be retarnod to your father; but I can give you my solemn assurance that I can protoct you. I will protect you from the hands of those whom you have cause to fear; and, at the same time, I will regard you as a sacred trust, to be respected and purely cherished. And now, lady, have I your confidence?" , H e Jet go her hands, held until BOW. and when he had taken a seat not far from her, he continued: "Lady Ulin, you have spoken of Julian, and I see that you fear him, D.d you ever see him?" Ulin shuddered as she answered irt the negative. "Did you ever hear his story?" "No, sir. Albia has told me something, but not much." "I can tell you the whole, if you would Hear it." "I should like to hear it, fair sir." "Believe me, lady, when you have heard what I shall tell you, you w}tl not regard Julian with EO much of abhorrence. But of one thing I give y o j warning: In telling the story of Julian I must speak harsh words against your affianced husband." "My—affianced—husbind ?" repeated Ulin, with a troubled pause between her words. "r mean Horam, King of Damascus," said the stranger, regarding the beautiful maiden as though he read her every thought. "I am not keeper over the character of*Horam. The truth, sp ken in a true cause, will qot offend me." "Then, lady, let me first assure yon that Julian Is not the monster your fears have painted. He has never done wrong to any, save the powerful ot Damascus. Go to the forests and mountains of Lebanon, and you shall find a thousand poor peasants whoss families he has befriended. He has taken gold and jewels, and precious stuf s of silk and linen, from the scores of Horam; but he hath not made h.msclf rich therefrom.. He and h 3 followers have lived, and beyond this the booty has been bestowed upon the poc» and needy. Julian hath also waylaid and broken up caravans; and turned back many expeditions which the king had sent out. He "may be Just what hath been said—he may bs tho Sconrje of Damascus, but he has no wish to trouble honest men. His aim has bsea, vengeance upon t^e king." "And why should he seek such vengeance upon the king?" asked Ulin. "1 will tell you, lady. But for the shall not be disturbed. Ton may otoap as safely tonight as ever you slept ipon your mother's bosom, and so shall you be'safe while I am near you. You will see Julian in the morning?" "You will come with him?" "If you wish it, lady." "I do wish it, for I feel that I am acquainted with you; and, furthermore, i have said that i would trust f eruii&tlie Great Tonic Cures you." 9!Sff^T??

He is a wanderer, without a horns, and with only such friends as are bound to him in his adventurous and dangerous course. Once many years ago—he had parents and the prospect of life was bright before him; but in an unhappy hour the gloom and the darkness came. Horam, in wicked, jealous wrat>\ swept away all that was bright and promising from the path of Jul.an and shut out the star of "hope forever. O. swpet lady. I dare not pa n your ear with all that Horam did. Were I to tell you all, you would regard the king as such a monster that your heart would close against h:m, and your very coul would shrink at tha sound of his name. A3 true as the heavens are above us, so true is it that the.heart of Julian 1« not evil. When he locks back upon the utter desolation of his young Jife, and realizes that the king cf Damascus mal.gnantiy and cruelly brought the curse upoi him can you wonder that his soul is fraught with vengeance?" "I never beard this story bet ore," said Ulin, her .voice trembling with deep emotion. "If It is true, as you have told mo, I eannot t l a m s Julian so much." "And yet yon fear him, lady?" "I cannot help'it. He hath com? hither in battle array, and made war against me." "Nay, nay, sweet lady. You do much mistake his intent. I can tell you why he came hither. He heard from a messenger whom he met upoa the pla as of Marthal, that a fair damsel was shut up here—a maiden whom the king intended to marry. It might have pleased him to deprive Horam of a wife; but it pleased him more to release a gentle lady from such enslavement. He knows what the king of Dama CU3 has, ere this, done unto his wives. He has heard that the dark waters of the Pharpor are but a short span from the royal bed. And hence he came to sat free one whom he feared might meet a worse fate than the encountering of the Scourge of Damascus. Did he commit a grievous sin in this, lady?" "Indeed, sir, I know not what to say." • "Will you not see Juliain? Do not shudder. I assure you that he wiH be most gentle in his bearing.

He turned, with his hand upon the latch, and added: "I trust that your dreams may be gweet and pleasant If dark phantoms come to your pillow they shall not be of Julian. There is another whom you have more cause to dread—one who, ia hard and hoary age would feast upon the charms of your loveliness. Pardon me, fcr I go with a blessing breathed upon thee." Til a moment more the man was gone, and the door was closed behind him. Uftn gazed vacantly upon the spot where he had stood, until she felt a hand upon her shoulder. She started, and looked up; and it wa3 only Albia. "My dear mistress, is not this a strange adventure?" "Very strange," replied the princess, casting her eyes to the floor, and then slowly raising them to that vacant spot. "What do you think of the strange man?" the slave girl pursued, sitting down by her lady's 3lde. "What do you think of him?" said Ulin. "I ihink he is very handsome. He is the most noble looking man I ever saw." Ulin showed by her look that she was grateful for this am-wer. It pleased her, though she may not have •known it. "Such a man could not ba a bad man," she said. "Dsceptioa canno; dwell in such a face." "I should think not," returned Albia, to whom the remarks had been put in the form of questions. "And what do you think of the story he told concerning tho robber JuLan?" "I think he told us the truth, my lady. A s - h e went on with Jthe jtale, I remembered that I had heard it just so before.

A story of Lord Charles Bercsford's er.rly exploits in Parliament crors up u^ain. An old county member, sadly troubled by gout, made a practice c! retiring to one of the benches under the reporters'—gallery, behind—tiLLspeaker's'chair. HLs habit was to take : off his boots, which he placed under i the bench, lie down at full length, and : doze securely under the shade of the ; gallery till his rest was disturbed bj j the call for a division, when he would ; slip on his boots. Lord Charles Beres- j ford observed the place where thi j honorable member had put his boots I and when he was sound asleep tool-: | away one, which he hid. When th<? division came the victim was compelled to leave his seculsion and walk into the lobby with only one boot on amid the roars of good-humored laughter. The lady's slipper, known arso a s the whippoorwill's shoe and the mofc- | casln flower, grows in deep, shadjr woods, often in company with moseefe, .- ferns and triUIums.

Peach trees are Inclined to overbear —that is, set—more fruit than they can properly mature with the amount of food material it is possible for them to assimilate. Hence it is that the fruit all remains small, not reaching the size that will bring satisfactory prices in the markets. Thinning the fruit will reduce the •train upon tbe tree. There will be, so to speak, a smaller number of mouths to feed, and the remaining fruit will be correspondingly larger. As the severest strata upon the tree Is occasioned by the development of the teed the thinning should be done before the seed begins to harden. This will be while the fruit is still quite small. It will be safe to begin as soon as the "June drop" is passed: The objection that many hold to thinning is the expense of the operation. But unless there are severe storms very little of the fruit which remains on the tree after the "June drop" will fall off.

Tho flying machine, fresh experiments with which are constantly reported, is an example of delay in invention. A few years after the landing of the Pilgrims, Dr. John Wilkins, who afterward married a sister of Oliver Cromwell, published a work In which he said it was possible to make a "flying chariot, in wnich a man may sit, and give such motion unto it as shall convey him through the air. And this, perhaps, might be made large enough to carry divers men at the same time, together with food for their viaticum, and commodities for traffic." The suggestion of a trade side to air travel points to the remote possibility of a flying-machine combination which will control the "airline" of the future.

JJPair of Postmen. BY K * T E M. CL^-MtY. (Copyright, ltfJl. by Daily Story Pub. Co.) It was a shock for Kennedy. Ho had almost completed sorting o u t t h e letters t o be delivered along his beat when h e came on t h a t one addressed to Nora Dillon. He—reiognizcd—tbechirography instantly. H e had Eeeu it many times. T h e letter had been written by Bertram Ryder. Ryder was not only a fellow-postman, but his warmest a n d most intimate tfriend. Why, ho had not known that Ryder was even acquainted with Nora—the girl whom he had come to love with a passion quite incommensurate with hi3 pay. and his prospects. Not that this latter fact, would matter if thc*y really loved each other. So far Kennedy had not dared to put his affection to the test of a declaration. But he had bsen screwing his courage up to that point for weeks, and—although he was far from bein^ a conceited fello -*—he had felt that he was being encouraged by the pretty daughter of the prosperous contractor on Elm avenue. IE only she would come to the door for the mail today! He would watch he;—would notice her acceptance of the envelope addressed by Ryder. Tho thought spurred him to activity. H J hastened thiough with his work as rapidly as possible, and went trudging "A Letter for You." off on his afternoon delivery, his well* packed bag slung over his shoulder. sThe glare of early summer lay hot and yellow on the city streets. Crowd? of well-dressed people were coming and going. The laughter of children mingled with the silver dripping of a fountain in a little green square. But Jim Kennedy could only think of •one opening door, whi<Jh framed a straight, yo'^ng, girlish form in a gay little go»vn. That was one of the things which had first attracted him to Nora Dillon—the fact that her pretty, bright garments, pink and hellotrope, and axure seemed somehow to suit well her swift, sunny smile and laughing b.u» eyes? Kennedy's bag was considerably lighter her the time he turned into Elm street. Kia heart was beating hard when he reached -theeomfoitaole home of the Dulons. Ho rang the bell, and stood waiting, the letter 'in his hand. Ho could hear the light, familiar step he had learned to know and listen for coming along the hail w.thin, and suddenly the door had swung back, and she was standing there, fair nml rinlinnt in hrr crisp white gown, her slim, erect young figure cleany cut as a cameo against the soft green gloom of the interior. "Good afternoon, Miss Nora!" He snatched off his cap, and stood looking down upon her. "A letter for you this time." "For me?" she laughed, and held out her hand. "I don't get many lett e r . " Jim did not offer to go at once. Instead he stood in the same attitude. his keen grey eyes striving to read her thoughts—her every motion. He was conscious of a sharp tightening in his throat at sight of the blusn that wavered instantly over her soft cheeks at. sight of the superscription. "Oh," she said in a low voice—her tone surprised but comprehensive. "Oh." she put the missive hastily in her pocket. He fancied some embarassment lingered in her blue eyes—ordinarily frank as a child's as she— glanced up at him. "You look dreadfully warm!" she ••xclaimed. "It is a hot day, isn't it? Won't you wait a moment until I bring you a glass of lemonade? Mamma and I were just drinking some." She vanished before he could refuse, and was quickly back, a goblet v containing an ice-tinkling beverage in her hand. "Thank you," he said, and drank it as well as,he could for that dreadful constriction in his throat. Then he had returned the glass, bowed, and was gone. Ah, with what a heavy heart, with what leaden footsteps was tha rest of his route covered that radiant summer day! How cou.d he know that a disappointed little face with puckerid jiows, was gazing after him with eyes grown suddenly misty and mystified, lie had not acted like himself at all! What was the matter with him? She had thought—she had fancied— There was no mail for the Dillon household the nest uay—nor still the next. So Jim had no excuse for stopping. But on the evening of the second day he found himself driven to Elm street. At least he could look at the house which held her. He might even muster up courage to ask her to go to the contemplated ptcnlc at Garfield Park with him. He had been made welcome in their home. More than once Mrs. Dil'^n had permitted her daughter to go out with him. He nad every right to invite her. Just because Bertram Ryder had written her a letter, and that «ho had colored confusedly at sight of it. was no reason why she would consider his attentions welcome. A soft, warm, dark, rainy right it was. Kennedy, about to cross over totKo 1;; ted home of the Dillons, suddenly stopped—dre»r back into tho shadow of a tree. FOT the door opposite had opened, and two people were distinctly revealed in tpo lighted vestibule. *«*P#fiis*p* _ He recognized Nora. And thai man witn spare form, and slightly stooping f-boulders—of course that was Bertram Ryder. { \ Ki could hear the dear voice of the T h e S h e e t S t e e j Workers and The girl speaking with cordiality. "Don't you worry, Bert!" she was faying. MYou can trust me to arrange affairs so that no one will suspect. What's that? I'm an angel? Oh, no, I'm not'* There was a Tipple of laughter. "Good-bye.

As the cashier's books tallied with those of'the other departments the officials were forced to the conclusion that somebody acquainted with the inside affairs of the mint had taken the money..

When a \ young man, he was engaged as tutor in j a private family. His young lady pupils resented his strictness, and* the j mother foolishly took sides with her daughters. In petty spite when company was invited to the house young | Chalmers \v± s shut out from the table, i and dinner was sent to ITfs"room: — ! He made no protest against the treatment, but when it was attempted again he told the servant he had ordered a dinner at a neighboring town and • should need nothing.

The effect of thli insect upon the onion Is known a s the "white blast," from the fact that the tops are prematurely whitened and become wrinkled and shriveled. The rasping of th» leaves lg done by Much Blender mouth parts and the insect 1» so small t^at the Injury has more the appearance of a fungus or bacterial disease than of insect work. Recent investigations have shown that the itfSect passes the winter months in matted grass, among old weeds and other rubbish as well a s " among cull onions and refuse that have been left over in the fields in the fall. Onion growers are famHiar with the fact that the depredations of this insect appear earliest and are the most emphasized along the margins of fields or plots or in spots over the fields. The reason for this is that the insect winters over in these places. I t makea4ta s^aKSs? ^ i PLAIN Ft ELD. Many of the young people around here spent the glorious 4th at North Lake. H.

It winters over in the piles of culled onions and refuse In the fields and begins Its work there, spreading from thence outward. Wherever the grass and Aveeds along ditches can be rooted up and destroyed it prevents the harboring of this pest. Wherever the old, dry grasses and weeds along the margins of onion plantations can be burned the effect will be to destroy myriads of the pest and to prevent their breeding the next season. With frequent drenching rains there is not much likelihood of a severe outbreak, but in case of drougbt-tbe-insect is likely to work more or less serious Injury in extensive onion fields. A epray of one pound of whale oil soap dissolved in eight gallons of water will destroy the pest, and the use of this mixture is recommended on the first appearance of the insects in the fields. At time of first appearance 5t will probably only be necessary to treat very small areas along the margins of fields or the small.

Some say is the spirit of gambling ever and n becoming epidemic. Something of that. Some say it is the sudden nkage in the value of securities, imethlng back of that. I will give you ke primal cause of_all these dlsturb- :es.

Iftxtravagance is the cause of all the > defalcations of the last GO years, and, if feu will go through the history of all ' n e great panics and the great financial • ffiStutbancas, no sooner have you dtamd the story than right back of it . jfal will find the story of how many Worses the man had, how many carvdteges the man had, how many resiliences in the country the man had, ' (torn many banquets the man gave—al- ^ays, and not one exception for the )mst 60 years, either directly or indlu^ ctiy extravagance the cause. V>t« ReflnetuentH of H f e . $fc>w "or the elegances and the refinements and the decorations of life f e a s t my vote. While I am consider- {tpg this subject a basket of flowers is led in—flowers paradisiacal in ir beauty. White calla With a green jround of begonia. A cluster of <Ae1k>tropes nestling in some geranium. Sepal and perianth bearing on them tfio marks of God's finger. When I see that basket of flowers, they persuade mft that God loves beauty and adorn- - stent and decoration. God might have onade the earth so as to supply the .'gross demands of sense, but left it without adornment or attraction. In- 4#Ead of tne variegated colors of the -^asons the earth might have worn an tuichanglng dull brown. The tree n i g h t have put forth its fruit without >iif prophecy of leaf or blossom. Niagara might have come down in gradual descent without thunder and winged Look out of your window any morntri* after there has been a dew and see ^Aether God loves Jewels. Put a crystal tfF&ncw under a microscope and see w^at God thinks of architecture. God • ooaaflnanded the priest of olden time to fcave his robe adorned with a wreath ot gold and the hem of his garment to l>e embroidered in pomegranates. The '•C&Tth sleeps, and God blankets it with t i e brilliants of the night sky. The 'World wakes, and God washes it from *&« burnished laver of the sunrise. So t nave not much patience with a man W-bo talks as though decoration and .adornment and the elegances cf life are m sin when they are divinely rcoom- • mended. But there is a line to bo <4rawn between adornment and decorartgona that we can afford and those we 'dan&ot afford, and when a man crosses tbp line ho becomes culpable. I cannot Sft you what la extravagant for you fro* cannot tell . mc what is 4adravA£&nt tor n:?. What Is his means he is extravagant. Venttn? Oae'i ODUg»tlonik Of course sometimes men are flung of misfortunes and they cannot pay. I know men who are just as honest in having failed as other men are honest in succeeding. I suppoee there is hardly a man who has gone through life but there have been some times when he has been so hurt of misfortune he could not meet his obligations, but all that I put aside. There are a multitude o|j?eople who buy that which they never intend to pay for, for wnich there is no reasonable expectation they will ever be able to pay. Now, if you have become oblivious of honesty and mean to defraud, why not save the merchant as much as you can? Why not go some day to his store and when nobody is looking just shoulder a ham or the sparelb and in modest silence steal away? That would be less criminal, because in the other way you take not only the man's goods, but you ta^e the time of the merchant and the time of his accountant, and you take the time of the messenger who brought you the goods. Now, if you must steal, steaV in -a-way-^to-do as little damage to the trader as possible. John Randolph arose in the American senate when a question of national finance was being discussed, and, stretching himself to his full height, <n a shriil voice he cried out, "Mr. Chairman, I have discovered the philosopher's stone, which turns everything into gold—pay as you go!" Society has got to be reconstructed on this subject or the seasons of defalcation will continue to repeat themselves. ch eren the most honest and Intel- You have no right to ride In a carriage men could not-have ;7for«*e«n.4-for__w^ichj£^^ hopelessly in debt to the wheelwright who ^ufnisfled thelandau,__ and to the horse dealer who provided the blooded span, and to the harness maker who caprisoned the gay steeds, and to the liveryman who has provided the stabling, and to the driver, who, with rosetted hat, sits on the coach box. Oh, I am so glad it is not the abso- .lute_necessitles of life which send people out into dishonesties anoTTitHg"" them into misfortunes. It is almost always the superfluities. God has promised us a house, but not a palace; raiment, but not chinchilla; food, but not canvasback duck. I am yet to see o^e of these great defalcations which is not connected in some way with extravagance. Extravagance accounts for the disturbance of national finances. Aggregations are made up of units, and when one-half of the people of this country owe the other half how-can we expect financial prosperity? Again and again at tiie national election we have had a spasm of virtue, and we said, "Out with one administration and in with another and let us have a new deal of things and then we will gel over our perturbation." I do not care who is president or who is secretary of the treasury or how much breadstuffs go out of the country or how much gold is imported until we learn to pay our debts and it becomes a general theory in this country that men must buy no more than they can pay for. Until that time comes there will be no permanent prosperity. Look at the pernicious extravagance. TaKe the one fact that New York every year pays §3,000,000 for theatrical amusements. While once in a while a Henry Irving or an Edwin Booth or a Joseph Jefferson thrills a great audience with tragedy, you know as well as 1 do, that the va3t majority of the theaters are as debased as debased they can be, as unclean as unclean they can be and as damnable as damnable they can be. Three million dollars, the vast majority of those dollars going in the wrong direction. U a r m i i l an I C»nece»s»r7 Etpnn«e. Over a hundred millions paid in this country fcr cigars and tobacco a year. About $2,000,000,000 paid for strong drink in one year in this country. With such extravagance, pernicious extravagance, can there be any permanent prosperity? Business men, cool headed business men, is such a thing a possibility? These extravagances a so account, as I have already hinted, for the positive crimes, the forgeries, the abscendingsof the officers of the banks. The store on the business street swamped by the residenes on the fashionable avenue. The father's, the husband's craft capsized by carrying too much domestic sail. That is what springs the leak in the merchant's money till. That is what crack3 the pistols cf the suicides. That is what tears down the banks. That is what stops insurance companies. That is what ha!ts tbi3 nation aga'n and aga'n in its triumphal march of prosperity. In the presence of the American people so far as I can get their attention I want to arraign thi3 monster curB2 of extravagance, and 1 want you to pelt it with your scorn and hurl at It your anathema. How many fortunes tjvery year the tears away with a $150 pocket handkerchief! I show you a domestic tragedy in five acts: Act the first—A home, plain and beautiful. Enter neatly married pair. Enter contentment Enter as much happiness'as ever gets in one home. ~ Act the second—Enter discontent. Enter desire for larger expenditure. Enter envy. Enter jealousy. dreBS-makera, Enter the French milliners. Enter all cosily plate and all great extravagances. Act the fourth—Tiptop of society. Princes and princesses of upper tendom floating in and out Everything on a large and magnificent scale. Enter contempt for other people. * Act tne fifth and hot. Enter the assignee. Enter the sheriff. Enter the creditors, Enter humiliation. Enter the wrath of God. Enter the contempt of society. Enter ruin and death. Now drop the curtaiu.' The play is ended and the lights are out. I called it a tragedy. That la a misnomer. It Is a farce. Pro* dln« for One'* Own. I know it cuts close. I did not know but some of-you in high dudgaon would get up and go out. You stand it well! Some of you nrake a great swash in life, and after awhile you will die, and ministers will be sent for to come and stand by your coffin and He about your excellences. But they will npt come. If you sand for me, I will tell you what my text will be: "He that provideth not for his own, and especially for those of his own household, is wo*se than an infidel." And yet we And Christian men, men of large meani, who sometimes talk eloquently about the Christian church, and about civilization, expending everything on themselves and nothing on the cause of God, and they crack the back of their Palais Royal _gloy_e In try_lng__tp_ hide the one cent they put into the Lord's treasury. What an apportionment! Twenty thousand dollars for ourselves and one cent for God. Ah, my friends, this extravagance accounts for a gr?at deal o' what the cause of Gcd suffers. And the desecration goes on, even to the funeral day. You know very wsll that there are men who die so vent, live stock to foreign countries It ia a matter for satisfaction that dt least ono breed of swine has originated in America. We refer of course to the Poland-China breed of hog*. Certainly, too, this is a breed well worthy of, th^iameULbas^tained not only here ^Ine, which now earns $12,000,000 * l o t » r ^ W o j HMotr of Bonnlor CUvta* tirca* Coppnr Allots Like all »leh mines* the United, Verde, the greatest copper mine in t*t» world and wh^ch is owned by Senator W. A. Clark of Montana, has an in-„ Lereeting history. C.ark bought t a t but abroad, for exportation of live animals for breeding purposes has been carried on to some extent of late' i i L ^ . ^ t r S ^ . ^ 1 . ? ! J • « » consumers of America* pork and pork products knew that the Poland China .furnished most of this product they would more thoroughly appreciate the breed as an American "institution." It is pre-eminently a lard hog, hut at the same time the staple producer of farm bacon and hams and of a great proportion of all pork products in the market Yet while it is an American breed pure and simple it is known by the complex, perplexing name "Poland-China"! What had Poland to do with its formation? Not a thing that we have been able to discover and China had almost as little. When the breed found Its starting place back in the rich Miami valley of Ohio it Is said that in 1816 John Wallace introduced to tint county three breeding hogs called "Big Chinas." They were bought In Philadelphia and were said to be from China or bred, from Chinese stock. This is the only trace of China we can find In the early history of the breed and facts regarding any Polish blood having beta used are entirely absent so that lt may be taken for granted that no such blood was utilized. It is evident then that our native breed of swine is poorly named for 'while it originated in America neither the Polaks nor the Chinese contributed anything to its success or formation yet receive the credit in its designation. The breed should have been called the "Miami County hog," or possibly the "Warren County hog," as lt was once called. year profits,; from two women £200,000. This was the way it cam* about Two ranchers in the Verde valley located the property. They sold out for $10,000 to William Murray and former Gov. Trittle ot Arizona. One of the .ranchers promptly proceeded to drink himself into delirium tremens with his share of the money. Murray and Trittle induced two New York women of independent fortune to back them to the extent of $200,069 in the development of the mine. This money « a t n a a r l y *11 gpanfr *qfl t^e^JgOSpeCtS were blue when the miners struck a pocket of silver ore that paid $80-,000. Murray died and Trittle failed to get any more profit out of the nrin«. it was abandoned for several years. Clark with his foreman came down from Montana looking for mining property. They saw the Verde, like* it, went to New York, found the women only too glad to sell their stock for its face* value and got possession. Clark proceeded to develop the mine scientifically and soon found that he was "riuht on the ore chute," as miners say. Then ha built a hundred-ton smelter and set about taking out the ore that has made him the copper king of the world. There are about 3,000 shares of stock in the mining company and Ssnator Clark owns them all. ; * -but-the expense* *re-so great_hsfsre ^ ^ ^ coaraer than those of the pres-' h a V e h e a T d o f they get underground they are insolvent. There are famili s that go into penury in wicked response to the demands of this day. They put in casket and tombstone that which they ought to put in bread. God's Caoin ImpoT^r|tht>d. And then look how the causa of God is impoverished. Men give so much sometimes for their indulgences they have nothing for the cause of God and religion. Twenty-two million dollars expended ln~~this country a year for religious purposes! But what are the twenty-two millions expended for religion compared with the hundred millions expended on cigars and tobacco and then two thousand millions of dollars spent for rum? So a man who had a fortune of $750,000 or what amounted to that, in London spent it all in indulgences, chiefly in gluttonies, and sent hither and yon for all the delicacies and often had a meal that would cost $100 or $200 for himself. Then he was reduced to a guinea, with which he bought a rare bird, had it cooked in best style, ate it, took two hours for digestion, walked out on Westminster bridge and jumped in'o the Thames—on a large scale what men are doing on a small scale. Oh, my friends, let us take our stand against the extravagances of society. Do not pay for things that are frivoous when you may lack the necessities. Do not put one month's wages or salary into a trinket, just one trinket. Keep your credit good by seldom asking fcr any. Pay! ©o not starve a whole year to afford one Belshazzar's carnival- Do not buy a coat of many colors and then in teix months be out at the elbows. Flourish not, as some people I have known, who took apartments at a fashionable hotel, and had elegant drawing rooms attached and then vanished In the night, not even leaving their compliments for the landlord.

C. Moore of Canton, 111., and other early and extensive breeders.' It would seem to us too that the hogs have grown shorter and blocker, a fact that cannot altogether be considered an improvement except far lard production; it certainly has not made the breed more prolific in breeding— indeed lt must we think be confessed that the bread is less prolific now than twenty years or more ago. It has much improved in head and ear being neater and finer and this may also be said of the bones which are less In bulk and; possibly stronger in texture than when "ail corn" was the prevailing method of feeding. In capacity for lard production this breed, has taken the lead of all competitors and "No, I stopped the use of the Pills some tim« ago, and have not had the slightest return of my old trouble.

A bright, beautiful mornias. with a gentle breeze sweeping down ths fragrance of flower and shrub from the mountain slope, Ulin had eaten tnr breakfast, and, wltn Albla by her side, •at" upon an open window, gazing out upon the park «»f fountains. As she thus sat, the save woman Calypso entered the apartment and announced that the robber wished to seo ths Lady -.-Iran. • - "What TolDberr" asked the princess. "The same oae that came yesterday/' Ulla dia not stop to think wh'ther tire visit would be pleasant or otherwise. The man had signified his purpose, and as he was master in the palace, she had no idea of opposing him. Calypso withdrew, and presently afterwards tho robber entered, ^ie cam3 in with the same noble step and bsar- Ing; tbe same pleasant, genial face; and with the same look and salute of reverence and respect. "I trust that the Lady Ulin his passed * quiet night," he said, in deep sincerity. "I have rested well, eir," she replied. "Good. I am glad of that. I feared you might have bad dreams." "Not many,- sir." "•Ah—and did you have any such?" "Not—not many." "Ycu dreamt that Julian was a demon, eh?" "No, no, sir—my dreams were not of him." "r hope, sweet lady, that you dreamed not darkly of me." ''No, sir. It was of—" —Th o "nrattfen troubled;-but heii visitor came to hsr assistance. "Nf-ver mind, lady, I meant not to inquire into tho secret twinings ol your mind. I only hoped that I had not been unfortunate enough to excite the apprehension of your slumbering fancies." He sml'ed as he spoke, at the samo time moving a step nearer, and then adding^ "I am glad you have not suffered from r - r coming; for I have the more courage to ask you if you will see JuUan." "You said you would accompany him, sir." "Yes." "Then I may as well see Mm at on> time as another. You may inform h m that the lady Ulln rests her safety and honor in his manhood." "He has been so informed, fair lady." ' "Then, let him come." "Gentle lady, pardon me If I have led you upon a fanciful way o' thought, r am Julian. I am he whom men call the Seourga of Dimascus And now I crave your indulgence; mU still I shall bow most humbly to your commands. At your word I l a v e th s apartment; yet, I should like to speak a l l t t e further. I should like to explain more fully why I am here." Wa3 Ulin frightened? Not at all. She was startled when she first know that the man bafore her was tha dreadful Scourge of whom she had heard so much; but it was an emotion of astonishment. At first she could hardly believe that she had heard the tru:h. "You—Julian?" she murmured, gazing into his face. "Aye, lady." And th-n ho. add-d with a smile, "I suppose you expected to find me black and ugly, like t i n foul genii whom Solomon imprisoned in the sea. Am I right?" "I did not .think you were Julian," the maiden said, after some hesitation. As she spoke she seemed to gain new confidence and composure; a d r r s~ ently she added, "T had heard so much of your terrible deeds, that. I' expected to find a—" "A monster," suggested Julian, helping her out. "Not exactly that," returned Ul'.n. with a smile.^ "though I am free to confess that I shou'd not have been so much surprised as I have been, if I had seen a worse looking man." "Thank you," cried the robber laughing. "I shall take that as a compliment, and lay it up among the mosi precious of my recollections. I understand you; so, upon this point, I need only assure you that I am Jul an, and that I must own the somewhat dubious title which has been bestowed upon me. And now, lady, may I sit hers for a few moments, and speak with you further?" The very thing lilin had been upon the point of suggesting. She did not like to see him standing before her; nor was she anxious that "he shouM leave her. She had a strong curiosity to hear him speak furthsr. There was somsthing in the apatarance of tha youthful adventurer that dsapty interested her. She bade him be ssat.d, and then, without intending to be heard, she murmured: "So young!" "Aye, lady," he said, catching the whispered words. "I am y o u n g - younger, perhaps, than I look. Only three-and-twenty years have cast their, shadows upon me. At that ags the youth of the city Just breaking from the bonds of parental r e s t r a i n t s .as a child; but with me it has been differe n t A parent I never knew,__A kind, generous woman, who was my nursa, took the place of a mother during my earliest childhood; and a white-haired old man, who lived apart from the world, gave me my first lessons oi life, and led me up till t could protec: myself. A father's fostering care I never knew. A mother's love I never realized. The cruel blow which shattered the cup -of my Joys, killed my poor mother ero my tongue could Usp her name. As I grew to manhood I knew that I was an orphan, and that my misfortune was the work of ths King of Damascus. 0! how the iron settled into my soul. I had grown strong and resolute, a3 though heaven would enable me to work retribution upon the tyrant. Do you ask me if I enjoy the life I have led. I answer— I have made enjoyments for myself. I have felt a peculiar satisfaction in knowing that the king feared me. When I have heard my nam? spoken by the rich and powerful with fear and trembling, I have liked it; and when I have known that Horam dreaded my approach, I have fe't that my labors were not without their resul". But these have not been my joys. In Damascus the name of Julian Is a ter ror; but there are other places, w_harj? that name is spoken with lov-> and -gratitude. Upon the piains of Ab'lene, and in the ^mountain passes of L ban on, where the busy craftsmen prepare timber for Jenralsm—there Julian Is hailed as a frjend and benefactor. The grim satisfaction of torturing the critel King of Darasscus is tempered and softened by the calmer atmosphere of these friendly regions." Why did Ulin sft so sti'.l and listen with such rapt attention to the words of the speaker? She bent her head as though soft music were stealing o'er her senses; and she gazed upon the man before her as though a grand, inspiring picture had been unfolded to her vision. His words cavrl d truth in their very sound, and all her sympathies had been aroused. She was a woman whose nature . had not been warped by art; and the av?nues to her --on! were guarded only by the pure instincts of virtue and humanity. Not always the safest guard; but still the happiest when surrounding influences are net evil. ."•And now, lady," pursued Julian, "I must tell you why I am here; and in doing this I speak only those wo-ds necessary to the truth. On my way from the plains I met a messenger, who informed me that a fair maiden h.ad been shut up in the Palace of the Valley. I could not believe that a beautiful young virgin had willingly given herself to the desires of Horam. I thought she had been shut up thus against her own pleasure. With th's belief I resolved to release her. The result you know. I have heard your story from the lips of the black slave who attends upon you, and she informs me that you are affianced to the king by your own consent, and wkhout any desires on your part to the contrary. Is it so?" "The slave told you truly, s.r," replied Ulin, bowing her head, and speaking in a very lew tone. "And you came here to this p a c e of your own free will?" "Yes, sir. My period of mourning was not parsed, and the king brought me hither that I might be more retired." "And but for the death of your mother you would have been tha king's wife e^o this?" Ulin replied in the affirmative; but her voice trembled, and she seemed to shudder'at the thought thus presmt^d. "Lady," said Julian, showing som-> emotion, which he evidently did not mean to show, "for my seeming wro-.ie: I mept humbly beg your pardon. I hed thought to wrest from the grasp of the king one who was an unwilling captive: but since I find myself mistaken I will do a'l I can to make amends. A "And," said the robber, rising to his feet, "It is better that I should leave you at once." He stopped, and swept his hand across his brow, and when he resumed; his speech was very low, and his voice tremulous: "This has been a most strange adventure; and as I now look upon St, it seems as though some mischievous sprits had planned It As I live I thought when I came hither but auch i»'!~h*re teW you ofv -* hive met you.! lady, and for the first time in my life I have felt my heart drawn warm y towards my native city.

Olrasied, L* Roy, N. Y. wished; but that she had no wish so to do was evident from the free and friendly manner In which she arose to meet him. She gave him her hand, and suffered him to raise it to his lips. "Dear lady, should we never meet again, I trust that you will b:ar one kindly thought of Julian. If you are forced to think of the wrongs he has done, let a memory of the wrong3 he has suffered be some extenuaJon. Bless you, lady! 'All good spirits guard and protect you; and peace be thine forevermore! Farewell!" He turned and was gone. Ulin felt a warm spot upon her hand—a drop of moisture—a tear! She gazed upon It, and knew that it came not from her eye. It fell there with the kiss. A strange tribute from the Scourge of Damascus! "Albia, I think I shall never see that man again; but I shall remember him with emotions far removed from fear or terror." "You will remember him as little as possible, my mistress," said the slave girl, taking a seat close by Ulin's 3ide, and resting her hand upon her arm. "What mean you, Albla? Why should my memory be narrowed or shortened?" "Because you are to have a husband who will demand your every thought and feeling. Horam is deeply versed in all the secrets of the female h:art, and his eyes will not sleep while you have a thought which he does not understand." ^'Indeed, Albla," cried the princess, with a look of amazement, "you m sunderstand me." "If such be the case," replied the -girJ^ ve?y qutetly, iyou-wiH-forgive me for what I have said; and of Julian we_will.think_.no more." Ah—was it se? Had Ulin been misur. derstcod? Had the keen-ey,d Aibia been mistaken? Would there be no more thought of Julian? The day passed away, and towards evening Aswad returned from the mountains. He said he had not fled from fear of the robbers; but that, when h saw that defeat was inevitable, he had sought safety from capture so that he might communicate with Damascus. Perhaps he old the truth. At all events; he resumed his command, and once more posted his guards about the valley; and then came to assure the princess that she was safe. It was in the evening, just as the last gleams of day were fading out, and before the lamps had been lighted —at that season when the thoughts are most apt to wander and Strangj ..ancies visit the mind. • • * It was not to be that U'in should spend the alloted time at the Palacj of the Valley. The king had heard oJ the attack of Julian, and he came with a large army to bear the princ.ssj away from a place which was nc longer safe. He was somewhat surprised when he found that the Scourge of Damascus had be^n w.Aun the pulace, and had withdrawn again; a \c when he had heard the story frcn; Calypso, he ordered one half the p.;l r.ce guadsmen to bej executed wiUir the valley. The maiden had heard from Calypso of the bloody deed which had b^os done by the k i n g s ord„r, and when she knew that he wa3 coming, she declared her intention of refusing to S£» him. But Aibia persuaded her \o k different course. "As you value your future welfare,'" plead the bond maiden, "so must yon behave before the king. If you wou.c live in peace, let him have no.occas.oc to mistrust your real feelings. He ifc coming. Beware!" The warning was most seasonable; and U.in. by obeying it so conducree I herself that Horam thought she onh suffered from the dread ml fright occasioned by tjhe appearance of the terrible Julian. Ho spoke to her words oi cheer and assurance, and announce his purpose of carrying her back tt Damascus. ' W e will rest tonight, sweet love," he said, "and on tho morrow you shah find a safer shelter." Ulin gazed upon the wrinkled face, and upon the quaking limbs, and upoiA the sparse gray hairs; and she cou n not repress a shudder. She looked upon the thin, hard hands of the moairch. and they seemed covered wit* blood. She watched him as he departed with her father; and when he had crone she sank down, and leaned h«v head upon Albia's besom. "O," she murmured, "I fear that 1 have^undertaken more than I can accomplish. T cannot be that man's wife! I never knew him until now. Ha will kill me!" "Peace!" whispered the bondmaiden. But she whispered in vain. (To be Continued.)

If Kaffir corn, which has been such a good yielder and drought reSlster, should be excluded from the ration of the dairy cow, many farmers in central and western Kansas would be Obliged to quit the dairy business. The Kansas experiment station has fed the grain and fodder of Kaffir corn for months at a time and'.has never experienced a particle of trouble from its producing a poor quality of butter. During the months of February and March, 1SUS, the station herd was fed almost exclusively on Kaffir cornmeal for the grain ration. The butter was tested by competent judges and pronounced excellent in quality. Since this time both the grain and the fodder of KathV corn have been used as the whole or part of the ration, the milk being sent to the Manhattan crenciery, where it has been saved to use in the making of starters. The milk has also been used each year at the dairy school both with and without milk from other sources. It has been specially sorght for by our cheese boys in their effort to make a first class quality of cheese, and in no instance have w e beard a single complaint from the use of the college milk on account of the cows being fed on Kaffir corn. When the season is a poor one for the curing of the crop and the grain has been left on the fodder, considera* ble penetrating dust arises from the crop when handled at feeding time. If the feeding is done just before or at milking time, particles of this dust, with nil the germs that they carry with them, will undoubtedly llud their way to the milk pail and may ci.v.sz a poor quality of butter. This points to the necessity of feeding after rather than before milking. In this way Kaffir corn, properly balanced, is one. of our best feeds for a dairy cow and should be grown extensively where corn is uncertain. gTATJS OF MICHIGAN, Coua^ of Livlngitoa, At a iwssion of the Probate Court for Bald County, held at the Probata OQloe in tlie Village of Howell, on Wednesday t&e 3rd day of July, la tbe year one thou aud time hundred and one.

Bullfighter* Afraid or Cows. It will probably not surprise our readers to hear that most Spanish bullfighters object to fighting cows. The real reason may, however, astonish them. A sportsmanlike objection to persecuting a female animal has nothing whatever to do with it. The fact is that the average toreador is sincerely afraid of a cow. And he has good reason. The cows of the half wild breed used for the arena are much quicker in their movements than are the bulls. Their horns are more pointed and more formidable. They do not lower their heads to the ground, shut their eyes and charge like tienr on whom an operation has to be a locomotive upon the rails, but are perfowned to chloroform him while asleep and' save him the horror which so many people have of the inhalation, and they sum np the results, showing that very rarely can chloroform be administered to a sleeping person without awakening him. Grown people are. alert and ready to follow every movement of their persecutors. Their warlike tactics have been adapted not to blind, bovine frontal attacks, but to the strategy of active and cunning beasts of prey, of which the human bullfighter i s o n l y a feeble mimic.

As a matter of fact, the only way to render a person unconscious by the use of chloroform Is in the way practiced by surgeons in the operating room. And this is by no mean* an easy task. There are several ways of dulug i t -The chloroform may be dropped ou a handkerchief, which is then held over the face at some little distance, or it may be dropped.on a sponge, or it may be used In one of the innumerable machines Invented for the purpose. But the vapor must be mixed witb air before it is breathed. That Is the reason the hand-1 kerchief or the sponge is held some j Inches from the face. As a rule At \ takes from five to eight minutes to make the person unconscious, and dur- j ing this time he generally struggles; very violently. It is probable that many of the charges of chloroforming which have been made are false. Sometimes the pretended victim asserts that he has become unconscious immediately. But it bas been shown in evidence that the time necessary to bring about this result is at least four or five minutes. Sometimes he says he could not cry o u t yet he describes all the circum* stances of the administration minutely. Now, the first effect of the chloroform is to produce confusion of the mind, while, on the other band, the patient can cry out almost up to the last. H e becomes mentally' confused before he loses the power of speech. These few facts are sufficient perhaps to demonstrate that some charges of possible chloroforming are necessarily nntrue.—London Mall. A Little Drama.

The first known of t h e m u r d e r by others in the Mold was the discharge- of the gun, the man having secreted himself behind a shock of grain.

ShiTtirwns Rtmrk-rn the back and the ball passed under the shoulder. H e lived but three hours. Behind the shooting of Smith there Is some great secret, so the neighbors, •who are In a position to know, declare. For years Smith and the man who Is believed to have killed him have been the bitterest enemies. Nothing w a s too mean for either to do if it would bring inconvenience to the other. Before they were enemies the men w e r e bosom friends, t h e neighbors ssert. Xo oue seems t o kuow w h a t caused the r u p t u r e In their relations.

A knowledge of t h i s device will enable readers to estim a t e the probable truth of these rumors when they first make their appearance. A Maryland judge has judicially affirmed one of woman's rights, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. If a woman finds her husband loitering ~afounbTtEe streets, she has^ a right to order him home, where his presence is wanted, and to push, shove or otherwise use so much force a s is necessary to make him obey. This is an especially indisputable right, according to t h e learned court of Hageratown, Md., where the loitering husband is found in company with another woman. The author of "The Kidnapped Millionaires," the latest novel t o attract gerieral attention, is Frederick Upaam Adams, an inventor of some note. He recently built a railroad train which shattered all records from a mile t o one hundred miles. It was built t o avoid atmospheric resistance, and was popularly known as the "cigar-shaped t r a i n " or the "wind-splitter." Between Washington and Baltimore this train of seven cars attained the remakable speed of 103 miles an hour. Wayne County Taxes. City Assessor Louis Smith, of Sagtnaw, was in Detroit for a short time Tuesday. Smith, with the assessor.* of Kalamazoo, have been hired by the state tax commission to investigate the assessments of W a y n e county, t h e purpose being to show t h a t assessments here are low. Ex-Tax Commissioner Oakman made the following comment on this move: "It might be well for some of the heavier taxpayers of Detroit to ask the -s-tnte tax eooHub*s4ento appoint- t h e city assessors of Detroit to Investigate the assessments l)f mines in the upper peninsula and to sen imw the figure* in .other Michigan cities a r e placed. That would relieve the tax commissioners of all responsibility." The city assessors have set ten of their men a t work to take the figures at which recent sales of real estate in this city were made, in order t h a t it may be shown that Detroit property la assessed at almost market value. Five vears ago the total equalization was fixed at $140 242 308 nnd this vear the amount is $2H2.421.0i:>. a .lump or something more than $8(1000.000.

I have been so discontented lately that any change .will be welcome. And has not Shakespeare said: My crown is In my heart, not on my liend; Not deck'd with diamonds and Indian stones, Nor to be seen— rny crown is call'd con- ««»nt: A crown it Is t h a t seldom kings enjoy. So I am going to be contented and wear my unseen crown upon my heart, knowing that few kings enjoy a like privilege. X.

What Destiny has chosen for me in the shape of Tom is a handsome, well-groomed, ordinary business man, devoted to the manufacture of silver-plated tableware. The Creighton knives and spoons and forks are the best in the market, a3 Tom is certainly the very dearest fellow in the world, even though I say I should not have selecteu him for a brother if I were ordering one. Nor would I have chosen Orton as a place of residence, preferring rather to reside at Cambridge with my presidential brother. Orton is a mass of factory chimneys which spell out the word commerce every day in the week except Sunday. I have never seen Cambridge, but 1 imagine It a cloistered, ivy-clad colony of ancient buildings faithfully guarding all the traditions of culture. And so here is the problem which Destiny has set me, and which I can solve only by putting my invisible crown firmly on my heart Orton has one salient advantage; being given over -to commerce. It is commercially situated; it is a seaport town.

So God pulled him tate, and :he Bays*. "JusLshow me how it is done." And he is shown.

God did excuse him because he committed Bin liriitghnp^gcgs^or because the transgressor was wide resounding. He tnamsured Nebuchadnezzar in high places just as he would measure the JUunblest captive. But in our time you know as well as I that there is a disposition to put A halo around iniquity if it is committal ha conspicuous place and if it is tride resounding and of large proportions. Ever and anon there has been Jtn epidemic of crime in high places, .rand there is not a state or city and :'tartly a village which haa not been ~ called -to look upon astounding for- ©r an absconding bank cashier or lident or "the wasting of trust fund • or swindling mortgages. I propose in •narqtfng out the suggestion of my text aa Tar as "I can, to scatter the fascinations around iniquity and show you •that sin is sin and wrong is wrong Whether in high place or low place and -that it will be dealt with by that God who dealt with impalaced Nebuchad- .aexzar. / Keeds to Be Prtienttd. /"A missionary in the island of the • Pacific preached one Sabbath on honesty and dishonesty, and on Monday be found his yard full of all styles of - goods, which the natives had brought. ./He could not understand it until a nathre told him, "Our gods permit us to *- parloln goods, but the God you told •vm about yesterday, the God of hea- .wea and earth, it seems, is against these practices, and so we brought all »£»» goods that do not belong to us, and VQ«jr are in the yard, and we want you Nto help us distribute them among their frightful owners." And if in all the jpa\plts of the United States today rousiag sermons could be preached on honesty and the evils of dishonesty and the sermons were blessed of God and r«rrangements could be made by which rail the goods which have been improp- *«rly taken from one man and appropriated by another man should be put { ia the city halls of the country there ' m not a city hall in the United States ' Chat would not be crowded from cellar vto cupola. Faith of the gospel; that we must preach and we do preach. Morality of the gospel we must ju3t as certainly proclaim. Now .lock abroad and see the fascinations that are thrown around different styles of crime. The question that *«eery man and woman has been asked "•has been, Should crime be excused be- « cause it is on a large scale? Is iniquity • eattty and to be pursued of the law in -proportion as it is on a small scale? ^Shall we have the penitentiary for < the man who steals an overcoat from • aVhatrack and all Canada for a man to range in if he have robbed the public «of millions? The Way to Gat Mount. There has been an irresistible im- : presslou going abroad among young * ~ asaa'that the poorest way to get monty f i s to earn it. The young man of flaunti fag cravat says to the young man of Vbunble appearance: "What, yon only 91,800 a year? Why, that wouldn't me in pin money. I spend $5,000 a. *ear." "Where do you get it?" asks the plain young r.an. "Oh, stocks, cn- Marprlses—aH that sort of thing, you 'know." The plain young man has < hardly ^enough money to pay his board i and has to wear clotho3 after they are <oat of fashion and deny himself all fexurles. After awhile he gets tired of MB plodding and ho goes to the man •who has^acbie^d suddenly large esther over on the side of his head than he ever did, smokes better cigars and more of them. He has his hand in! Now, if he can escape the penitentiary for three or four years he will get into political circles and he will get political jobs and will have something to do with harbors and pavements and docks. Now he has got so far along he is safe for perdition. It is quite a long road sometimes for a man to travel before he gets into the romance of crime. Those are caught who are only in the prosaic stage of it. If the sheriffs and constables would only leave them alone a little while, they would steal as well as anybody. They might not be able to steal a whole railroad, but they could master a load of pig iron. Now, I always thank God when I find an estate like that go to smash. It is plague struck, and it blasts the nation. I thank God when it goes into such a wreck it can never b9 gathered up again. I want it to bscome so loathsome and such an insufferable stench that honest young men will take warning. If God should put into money or its representative the capacity to go to its lawful owner, there would not be a bank or a safety deposit in the United States whose walls would not be blown out and mortgages would rip and parchments would rend and gold would shoot and beggars would get on horseback and stock gamblers would go to the almshouse. -_-_._Tha- Ta m p t« 11 on • -la__DlaJLQfvM ty._ How many dishonesties in the mak^ ing out of invoices and in the plastering of false labels and in the filching of customers of rival houses and in the making and breaking of contracts! Young men are indoctrinated in the idea that the sccner they get money the better, and the getting of it on a larger scale only proves to them their greater ingenuity. There is a glitter thrown around about all these things. Young men have got to find out that God looks upon sin in a very different -ttghfc —— A young man stood behnd a counter in New York selling silks to a lady, and he said before the sale was consummated. "I see there is a flaw in that silk." The lady recognized it, and the sale was not consummated. The head man of the firm saw the interview, and he wrote home to the father of the young man, living in the country, saying: "Dear sir, come and take your boy. He will never make a merchant." The father came down from the country home in great consternation, as any father would, wondering what his son had done. He came into the store, and the merchant said to him, "Why, your son pointed out a flaw in some silk the other day and spoiled the sale and we will never have that lady probably again for a customer, and your son will never make a merchant." "Is that all?" said the father. "I am proud of him. I wouldn't for the world have him another day under your influence. John, get your hat and coat; let us start." There are hundreds of young men under the pressure, under the fascinations thrown around about commercial iniquity. Thousands of young men have gone down under tire pressure; other thousands have maintained their integrity. God help you! Let me say to you, my young friend, that you never can be happy in a prosperity which comes from ill gotten gains. "Oh," you say, "I might lose my place. It is easy for you to stand there and talk, but it is no easy thing to get a place when you have lost it. Besides that, I, have a widowed mother depending upon my exertions, and you must not be too reckless in giving advice to me." Ah, my young friend, it is always safe to do right, but it is never safe to do wrong. You go home and tell your mother the pressure under which you are in /that store, and I know what she will say to you, if she Is worthy of you. She will say: "My son, come out from there. God has taken care of us all these years, and he will take care of us now. Come out of that." MWtua of Traat Fandt. Oh, there is such a fearful fascination in this day about the use of trust funds. It has got to be popular to take the funds of others and speculate with them. There are many who are practicing that iniquity. Almost every man in the course of his life has the property of others put in his care. He has administered, perhaps, for a dead friend; he is an attorney, and money passes from debtor to creditor through his hands; or he is In a commercial establishment and gets a salary for the discharge of hi3 responsibilities; or he is treasurer of^ a philanthropic institution, and money for the suffering goes through his hands; or he has eome office in city or stato or nation, and taxes and subsidies and supplies and salaries are in his hands-. Now, that is a trust That is as cacrcd a trust as God can give a man. It is the concentration of confidence. Now, when that man takes that money, the money of others, and goes to speculating with It for his own purposes, he i3 guilty of theft, falsehood and perjury and in the most intense sense of the WQrd ia a miscreant, (or the TEETH and BREATH 289 26o 7Bo 25 law S l u S0Z0DOIT LIQUID , . .

Dangers of L.lb*rUnl«m, So there has been a great_ deal of fascination thrown around libertinism. Society is very severe upon tho.impuruy that lurks around the alleys and low haunts of the town. The law pursues it, smites it, incarcerates it, trie3 to destroy it. You know as well as I that society becomes lenient in proportion as impurity becomes affluent or is in elevated circles, and finally society is silent or disposed to palliate. Where is the judge, the jury, the police officer that dare arraign the wealthy libertine? He walks the streets, he rides the parks, he flaunts his iniquity in the eyes of the pure. The hag of uncleanness looks out of the tapestried window. Where is the law that dares take the brazen wretches and put their faces in an iron frame of a state prison window? ~ ~St«ae44m€a4L-Sfiejai_tQ_me as Jf_ so^. ciety were going back to the state of morals of Herculaneura, when it sculptured its vileness on pillars and temple wall and nothing but the lava of a burning mountain could hide the immensity of crime. At what time God will Tiso up and extirpate these evils upon society I know not, nor whether he will do it by Are or hurricane or earthquake; but a holy God I do not think will stand it much longer. I believe the thunderbolts are hissing hot and that when God comes to chas- Uhutpsr Hare than la Many Other Countrlaa of 'the World, , Tho registration of trade marks has become a necessity of late years, for unless an article of merit is protected by such means or by letters patent it is sure to be imitated by soma unscrupulous person. It is only within a few years, however, that the question of protecting trade marks has assumed grave Importance. Thi3 Is due to the enormous lncreaso in advertising of health foods, cereals, patent medicines and athletic novelties. The tariff of charges for registering trade marks In the various countries seems in some instances to be based upon the idea that authorized labels and the like are as much a'luxury as a coach and four. In Zululand, Peru, Uraguay, Hong Kong and Granada the tariff fixed by law for each trade mark i3 f 145 in gold, the highest on the entire list. In this country trade marks are filled with the tise the community for these sins, against which he has uttered himself more bitterly than against any other, the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah will be tolerable as compared with the fate of our modern society, which knew better, but did worse. The Sacrrdnett of Life. Then look at the fascinations thrown around assassination. There are in all communities men who have taken the lives of others unlawfully, not as executioners of Jhe law, and they go scot free. You say they had their provocations. God gave life, and he alone has a right to take it, and he may take it by visitation of providence or by an executioner of the law, who is his messenger. But when a man assumes that divine prerogative he touches the lowest depth of crime. Society is alert for certain kinds of murder. If a citizen gding along the [ road at night is waylaid and slain by a robber, we all want the villain ar- ; rested and executed. For all garroting, for all beating out of life by a club or an ax oi;a slungshot, the law has quick spring and heavy stroke, but you know that when men get affluent and high position and they avenge their wrongs by taking the lives of others, great sympathy is excited, lawyers plead, ladies weep, judge halts, jury is bribed and the man goes free. If the verdict happen to be against ^nlm, a new trial is called on through some technicality and they adjourn for witnesses that never come, and adjourn and adjourn until the community has forgotten all about it, and then the prison door* opens and the murderer goes free. Now, if capital punishment be right, I say let the life of the polisnTd" murderer go with the life of the vulga'V assassin. Let us have no partiality of gallows, no aristocracy of electrocution chair. Do not let us float back to barbarism, when every man was his own judge, jury and executioner, and that man had the supremacy who had the sharpest knife and the strongest, arm and the quickest step and the stealthlest revenge. He who willfully and in hatred takes the life of another is a murderer, I care not what the provocation or the circumstances. Be may be cleared by an enthusiastic courtroom, he may be sent by the government of the United States as minister to some foreign court, or modern literature may polish the crime unV-1 it looks like heroism; but in the sight of God murder is murder, and the judgment day will so reveal it. patent offlce"andTthe"price fur ing one ia $55, which is the lowest rate charged anywhere. Canada charges $60 for a general or special trade mark. There are some couiv.ries of Europe that demand $100 for registering a trade mark, but in Gi'eat Britain, Germany, Austria, France and Spain the fee in each case is $75. This is the rate asked in the majority of the English colonies, including 'New South Wales and New Zealand, but in Cape Colony it is $115 and in South Africa $135. The latter price *i also demanded in Costa Rica. Some of the bargain counter sales in the Leeward islands, Jamaica, British Guiana, Mauritius, Argentine" Republic, Bolivia, Chili, Guatemala, Sierra Leone and Bulgaria, each of which charges $115. Little Venezuela is content with $100 for Ue privilege of recording the existence of a patent label. There are thousands of trade marks that are never heard-of by the great masses, because they are not properly advertised. The majority of trade mark lawyers realize big profits fighting infringements of private marks rather than in registering new ones. One o( them has just settled a case that was in the courts for four years. The single word "favorite" was at issue and the courts have decided that there is no exclusive proprietary right In the word as a trade mark. One of the most successful lawyers, who represents the Interests of a big cereal firm and cracker establishment as well,, says that it costs more than $15,000 annually to protect his clients from those who twist the names of brands in every conceivable way.

The fares were reduced all round, so that the longer the distance the greater the reduction, but, at the same time, the return ticket system was abolished fir journeys within Denmark. One of the greatest boons to business men and holiday makers is the so-called fortnightly ticket. For third-class it costs 22s 3d and for second class £ 15s 6d. Such a ticket entitles the holder to travel all over Denmark for a term of fourteen days. He can go wherever he cares to go, and as many times over the same route as he may wish within the time paid for—namely, fourteen days. A holiday maker may visit every place of interest in Denmark during that time and, if he found any pleasure In traveling from town to town night and day for the period he cduTa"~do SOT He pttys-tfae-price Of D A N D A L Y ' S G O L F S T O R Y . He Hits Upon S t a t e Jokes Not Made to Order. "Stage jokes are rarely made to order," said Dan Daly to a writer in the New York World. "Mine turn up in all sorts of queer ways. In a barroom the other night I heard a fellow say he was going to open a saloon on Broadway. 'Who did you ever whip?' asked the bartender.

One afternoon while lounging about (he Casino stage I picked up a scrap of newspaper that had evidently been used to wrap up something.

You know it goes on to explain that after you hit the ball you walk a mile, and that if you find it the same day you win. At that point the audience thought the climax had been reached and laughed. The first time I tried to finish the story, hut nobody heard me and I never tried it again. It would have been useless. The story continues that if you don't find the ball the same day you send your man to look for it the next, and if he finds it, he wins. After awhile I saw that the audience was right and that the story really ended better where they insisted it should. At first, though, it madu me pretty mad." £1 2s 3d, with a deposit, of 5s 6d for the ticket, on which a photograph of the holder is parted, and at the expiration of the fourteen days he returns the, ticket and gets the 5s 6d deposit back. He can also buy a ticket for a month, and the longer the time tho greater the reduction. While a fortnightly ticket costs 22s 3d, a 12- month ticket costs £10. If the passenger had to ?y*y for a twelve-month ticket at the i* te of 23 3d per fortnight it would cost him £26 14s. Thus the reduction is over 150 per cent. If instead of paying for a fortnightly ticket a traveler went from Esbjerg to Copenhagen and back as often as, he could within fourteen days, an* bought ordinary tickets for each trip, they would cost him over £6, and this amount would be doubled in a fortnight if he went sightseeing from one place to another, traveling all over Denmark in easy stages.

Beyond any question the most modern of the world's monarchs is William II, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The other day he cabled to Baron von HoReben,. the German ambassador at Washington, to "transmit to the brotherhood of Young Men's Christian Associations of America, assembled for their iubilee convention, my hearty congratulations." He added that he was glad to see the German associations "active In the same endeavor, take part fraternally in this solemn gathering." Here, as on many other occasions in the past few years, the German emperor shows that he keeps himself informed of the doings of the world. He is a close reader of the newspapers.

He strode across the room, and then walked slowly back. "Sire," he finally said, "give me until tomorrow morning to think of this. In twelve hours from this you shall have i » y answer. H I embark upon this enterprise, I must have some hope for success'. I will converse with those of the slaves who have seen the robber and his men, and their observations may help ma." _ "But, Judah, you arejneLto breathe a word of this. My slaves must not mistrust youT object."* "I underseand you, sire; and I will be guarded. Shall it TDQ as I have said?" "Yes, only bear in mind that the thing must be accomplished if accomplishment is possible." "I understand you, sire; and be assured that my wits 'Shall be stretched to their utmost." "Ahoul CaEssmi" said the king, after Judah had gone,"*w'hat do you think?" "I think the fellow will study up some grand plot between now and morning. At all events, sire, I do not believe you can find a better man for your -purpose." At an early hour the king retired, a,nd all night long his sleep was troubled with very unpleasant dreams. He bt the outer world bsfox* he had secured her hand. We must now return to the Palace ot the Valley, where we left those whc were to go In search ot the robbst chieftain. As soon as the Icing hat gone, Judah repeated the instruction/ he had already given to the guards They were not to accompany him? bui they were to come after htm, la a man. ner agreed upon, and were to conduct themselves towards him in all respects as though they had never before seer him. Towards the latter part of the afternoon Judah stripped himself bare tc the skin, and caused one ot the msn tc beat him with, a leathern thong until long livid ridges were raised upon hit shoulders and back. After this he resumed his clothing, and as soon as the shades of evening began to fall, he mounted -a fleet horse, and rode away to the northward towards the plains ol Abilene. He knew that Julian had taken that course, and he hoped tc overtake him before many hours. Until midnight he sped on quite rapidly; Htat after -that-he movedmore-cautious^, ly, peering and listening, upon the right hand and upon the left, as he advanced. So he rode until day had dawned, without seeing or hearing anything worthy of note* But he wa« coming upon something very soon. Just as the sky began to glow with the rich, red glare of the rising sun, he came to a point where a narrow pass between two steep hills opened into a pleasant vale, and just here his horse was stopped by a stout man who advanced, spear in hand, from some trees by the wayside. "Hold!" said the sentinel. "Who are you?" "A wayfarer, as you may sec," replied Judah. "Whither are you traveling?" "To the north." 'Cf--wJiat-are-you.-ia- -pursuit0" ._ A '8 WIFE eUBEOOF mm m* She Suffered for Years and Felt Her Case Was Hopeless— Cured by Fe-ru-na. Scourge of Damascus had robbed him of his beautiful bride, and once he dreamed that his throne had passed from hici. In the morning he was more anxious for the apprehension of the robber than before, and impatiently did he await the coming of the Israelite. At the appointed hour Judah made his appearance and announced that he would undertake the task of delivering up the terrible Scourge. "If I succeed," he said, "you will h«ar from me as soon as success "crowns my efforts. If I fail, you will perhaps never hear from me again." "•And when will you set forth?" asked the king, almost beside himself with hopeful anticipation. "At once, sire. This very day, if I can get ready." "Do you want he'p?" "I would select two of your mo3t trusty guards." "Take as many as you want." "Two will be enough, sire." "Will you take them from those who have been on duty here?" "No, sire. That would not be safe. The robbers might recognize them. I win have two who came with us from Damascus yesterday." '"As'you will, Judah. Select the men you want, and they shall accompany you." The Israelite promised that he would have all hi3 arrangements made bsfore the king was ready to depart, and with this assurance he went away. By the middle of the forenoon the king was ready to set forth on his return to Damascus. Ulin and Albia were placed within a comfortable box upon the back of a stout camel, and aTomnd them were posted a hundred armed men. The remainder of the retinue was arranged under the direction of Aboul Cassem. the king's prime minister, and only the ord?r was needed to set the whole in motion. At this point the king withdrew to the palace, where he found Judah ready to set forth -on his tlangerous mission, and with him were two guards, Osmtr and Selim, two resolute, intelligent fellows, who seemed to love the excitement of the work upon which they were about to enter. The king was pleased with the choloe Judah had made. "I might not have hit upon them," he said; "but 1 know they will sarve you. And now, what more can I do?" "Nothing." replied Judah. "I have all that I can use, and'am ready for the "Work. If I succeed, you will hear from me in good time; and if you never hear from me, you may at least be assured that I failed from no lack of will to serve you." With a few words of encouragement the king left his servant to pursue his own course, and proceeded to Join his army, which was soon in motion; and before the close of another day he arrived-at Damascus, where Ulin was once more suffered to find shelter beneath the roof of her father. Touching her marriage, it was understood that the ceremony should be performed as soon as the period of passed, which would be in two weeks; and until then she was to remain in cloee retirement Horam asked that she might not be suffered to go oat, lor he feared to have her see too much "Just at this present moment I am in most urgent pursuit of something to eat." "Have you money In your purse?" "Enough for present use." "Are you afraid of losing it?" "How?" "By robbers." "Bless you, no. I am rather anxious to see some of these robbers." "You may see them sooner than you would like." "'mat cannot Oe, sir; ror l would like to see them at once." "Ah—what would you with them?" "Never mind. If I am so fortunate as to find them, they shall know." "Perhaps I can find them for you." "I believe ycu can; and, my good sir, if you will conduct me into the presence of Julian, I shall thank you." "Upon my life, you give me credit for wonderful power." "I give you the credit of belonging to Julian's band; and as I am very anxious to see him, I ask you once more, to lead me to him." The man hesitated a moment, and finally said, with a smile breaking over his sunburnt features: "Ycu are free-spoken, and s?em to be honest; and I think I will lead you to the man you seek. But my bold friend, you have need of some fair purpose." "Lead me to Julian, and I will be answerable for the rest." "Very well; you shall not ask again. Dismount, and follow me."

Russia has long prided herself or having the ftrit women physicians The Chautauquan refers to the career of Nadezhda Susloff, one of the earlis: and best women doctors, as particular ly interesting. Born a serf, and freed with her parents at the emancipatior in 1861, she and her brothers and sis ters received the best possible education at hotne and abroad, for her parents were both extremely intelligent and her father acquired wealth after gaining his freedom. Everywhere Ir. Russia and in the continental schoo s Nadezhda was brilliantly successful For thirty years there has been no manner of doubt as to the sympathy o the public and of the medical world with the idea of thorough medical instruction for women. Men started th? movement. In 1870 one professor and two other men undertook to establish courses for instructing women. In ten years there were 959 women students the majority coming from the "privileged classes"—that is to say.nbt peasants. The majority were members of the Russian church, but there were several Jewesses, Roman Catholics and Lutherans. In 1877 twenty-four students were sent to the seat of war. during the Russo-Turkish campaign, and did so well" that they received imperial permission to call themselves after due examination, "women physicians," and to wear a badge." Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1217 Weat 33rd at, Minneapolis, Minn., as follows: "I suffered for years with a pain in the small of my back and right side. It Interfered often with my domestic and social duties and i never supposed that I would be cured, as the doctor's medicine did not seem to help me any. "Fortunately a member of our Order advised me to try Peruna and gave it such high praise that I decided to try It Although I started in with little faith, I felt so much better in a week that I felt encouraged. "I took it faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that I am entirely cured. ' Words fall to express my gratitude. Perfect health once more is the best thing I could wish for, and thanks to Peruna enjoy that now."—Minnie B. McAllister. T h e great popularity of Peruna as a catarrh remedy has tempted many people to Imitate Peruna. A great many so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are to be found In many drug stores. These remedies can be procured by the druggist much cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only be obtained at a uniform price, and no druggist can get it a cent cheaper. Thus it is that druggists are tempted to substitute the cheap imitations of Peruna for Peruna.

This Is a small church situated outside the walls of Constantinople, and it enjoyed no particular reputation before the conquest of Constantinople by the Turks. At the time of the invasion, however, a monk w a s cooking some fish there when a messenger came and told him that the Turks had entered Constantinople. The monk did not believe the story and said ho would sooner believe that the half cooked fish would jump back into the water. As he spoke the 'fish jumped back into the water, and since then the place has had a great reputation for its healing powers, A church has been built over the spring dedicated to "Our Lady of the Fishes,'* and on this day a regular pilgrimage takes place from nil parts of the town. Many sick are carried;thither, and many miraculous cures are reported. The truth of the story Is proved by the presence in a large marble lined tank in the church of the lineal descendants of the half cooked ftsh.

The gatue of counterfeiting in this country is played by people of all nationalities, and, although some women and children are used as tools, men take the principal parts. After having made the coin the great problem is how to convert it into good money. The maker rarely takes part in that operation. At is the business of gan^s, which consist usually of Jtwo persons, known as the "holder" and the "shover." The bolder carries a stock of the counterfeit money, and the shover has one piece. This ho takes to a store or a saloon and buys something for a small } amount, and when he comes into the : street the holder sees him from his position a block away, joins him, receives the good money and hands him another counterfeit. The object is to work so that the shover, if detected, may plead innocence and prove that the piece is the only one that he has and that he has no other money. Some clever operators ; go so far as to mix good coin with the ! bad. , i To Gange Hit Wife's Temper. "I heard about a peculiar case of henpecked husband recently," said a young woman the other day. "What was it?" her friend inquired. "There is a man who..has-SomfiJUffl^. 2ulty in gauging his wife's temper. At times she is considerate of his welfare and at other times—well, he rather thlnks-that married life is a failure. "He has a peculiar manner of finding out the state of his wife's feeling toward him. In the evening when he returns home from work he never steps into the house without going through a sort of ceremony. First he throws his hat in the house, and then he seats himself on the steps and waits. If five minutes pass without the hnt being thrown out again, be enters and generally finds his wife very agreeable. However, if the' hat is thrown out again the unfortunate man seeks hos- . pirality for the night somewhere else ^rather than brave the anger of his helpmeet."— Cleveland Leader, A Pot Walloper. The parliamentary register for 1898 shbwed that there was then only one pot walloper in all England. One seeing the term IVr the first time might easily imagine tnat a pot walloper was a species of ichthyosaurus or some other reptile of a past age. It will be dlst'overed- upon Inquiry, however, that the term "pot walloper" is literally one who boils u pot and was applied to voters in certaiu boroughs of England where, before the passage of the reform bill of 1S32. the qualifications for suffrage was to have boiled (walloped) | bis own pot in the parish for six months.

Fifteen feet from the ground there are one or two birch limbs growing, and higher up are currant and raspberry bushes which bear fruit each year. It is not stated whether the sugar made from its sap has a raspberry flavor*, or the birch bark a curj rant color and taste, or the berries a spicy tang of birch. It is very old and bids fair to stand for many years longer. STATE of MICHIGAN. The Tnirty-fifth Ju uicial Circuit, in Chancery. .

Germination of a Love Affair. —BY-OUION IS WILSON-- (Copyright. 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) I have just come to a knowledge of certain facts which I deem it my imperative duty to make public for two reasons—first, because they clear up the mystery of the disappearance of that great and originajl investigator, my friend, Professor X. (whose many friends will, after perusing what is here set down, easily recognize him without the mention of his name, which, made in so public a manner, would, I know, be highly offensive to him), and, second, because*I hope they will cause some other scientist of prominence to follow up the unique and, I conceive, eminently important line of investigation initiated by Professor X. I say that I have just come to a ^ knowledge of these facts. This is the exact truth, although the said facts have been in my possession for the past three months. To be plain, just before the Professor disappeared so completely I received through the mail a note from him with^a sealed en-8 closure which his note requested me to open and read three month's after ki. Sometlilag has gone wrong. It reached me. This I have just done. The enclosure I found to be the Professor's notes upon the progress of a most remarkable and unusual series of experiments founded upon the germ theory. In this connection I wish to say that while, in common with his Other friends, I of course knew of the Professor's keen interest in. this theory, I had had not the slightest hint that he had struck out. so boldly in the field of original research. So radical has been the Professor's departure in these experiments from the beaten track that I have thought It best to give an almost exact reproduction of the notes in my possession, merely editing them and eliminating. as far as possible, the phraseology of the scientist that would be in large sp *K ~ * . 7|-|i^li|]yy<i^yyi|»8 measure uiD1^t€Uigblej tp fte layman. 1 give the notes, la tns order in which they appear in the book containing them. They were evidently jotted down at different times, but none are dated, though the last was manifestly written immediately before the Professor dropped out of sight. "I am fascinated. For some time I have been studying those two strongest of human passions—love and hate —and their origin. They are Interest* lng to the investigator if for no other reason than that they set all accepted rules at defiance. Instances are plenty of the manifestation of love where the opposite should, according to the socalled laws of nature, appear. The papers recently noted that a laf ge and venomous snake had killed a setting hen and then carefully hatched and reared her chicks. The killing of their own offspring by animals of many kinds is common. Tho sentiments of parents toward their children and vice I saw J enter. versa are all too often at variance with the rule. How are these facts to be accounted for?" "As far back as we can trace, love and hate have been known by common consent as matters of the heart. Such things very often have a foundation in fact—why may not this have? And if there is any real connection, may it not, since the heart is merely the forcepump of the blood, lie In the lifefluid itself? And, this granted, might we not go a step further and imagine that there exist germs oi the two master passions?" Here follow numerous entries of so technical a nature that they are quite beyond my understanding. They are evidently notes of the succeeding steps in a very lengthy series of experiments. However interesting they may prove hereafter to a scientist, they need not be inserted here. The latter notes, however, tell of a successful outcome. "I verily believe that I have at last succeeded in isolating the germs of love and hate!" Then is set forth at length the scientific descriptions of these germs, the number of which present in any case, according to the Professor, governs the degree of the sentiment. The notes continue: "Given a culture of the germ of love In the blood of one animal and another animal inoculated with that culture, the animal so inoculated will love the one whose blood furnished the culture medium. The same Is true of the germ of hate. I believe that I have eliminated every possibility of error, but I shall, of course, put my conclusions to further tests." "A cat in a cage at my elbow is nursing carefully a litter of tiny mice, orphaned by tabby herself. She ate their mother. I have a hawk rearing a brood of chickens. Her motherly affection for them is touching and pronounced. Two dogs, brothers and hitherto the best of friends and merriest of playmates, have, in the past few days, become the bitterest of snarling, snapping enemies. Certainly there seems no doubt of the effectiveness of either serum as applied to animals. How would It affect the human beings?" "The last lingering doubt is removed! Circumstances made it possible for me t o secure a small quantity of the blood of Miss M. (in this, as in all other instances, the names are suppressed for reasons even more obvious than in the case of the Professor himself) in which I made a culture of the microbe of love. 'With this I inoculated, myself, and now, impossible as it would seem to my friends, I find myself madly in love with her. I might counteract this by an inoculation of the opposite germ, but I cannot bring myself to do it. Evidently I am very, very much in love!" "I have made a horrjble discovery. Miss M. does not-—and says she can never—love me! Further, though she also says that she will never marry. I am convinced that J. loves her almost as madly as I do! And he has youth, wit, fortune, comeliness—every attribute that could attract a w o m a n - while I" "Why should I hesitate?

I*anc« Boat* of the tiarnu Army Cause Snsp'elon. At least a real use has been discovered for the ianccs carried by the European cavalry. In America we don't attach much importance to lances, but in England in the early stages of the war in the Transvaal much was heard of Boers being "spitted" on English lances. In the German army, however, a scheme has been devised by which the lances of the cavalry form a framework for boats. This is such an advanced step that the English arc watching closely to see what success attends it. Twelve to sixteen lances and a few cross sticks form the framework for these lance boats, and besides the oars, which are made of a lance and a canvas blade, the only other essential part of the boat is the waterproof covering. It takes' only **ve minutes for the troopers to tie th.3 frame work together and two minute more to fasten on the cover. Then the boat is ready for launching. Sometimes to insure stability the two boats are fastened together like a catamaran. -When these boats are packed up one horse can easily carry two of them. It is said that with the old system it required 2,000 men and 3,500 horses merely to look after the transport of the boats If every squadron in the English army were supplied with two boats, however, only. 600 horses are needed, and in the Item of fodder alone there is a saving of $137,500 a year.— New York Press. 2££S — • Urjtjftn^Wlll Fight.

The orchard disease caused by the fungus Sphsvropsis malonim is very common In the state of Now York. It lias boon known to scientllic investigators for only1 a few years, and thoujjfli noticeable In many orchards its effects have been ascribed by practical men to sun scald, frost injuries or varietal weakness rather than to a specific disease. The Geneva (X. Y.) station says, however, that the blackened, eilarged uas ueeu uesuoyeu ure round in iniay localities aud on luany varieties. The same germ causes a tNvTg Tillglit often found In orchards showing little or no sign of the canker form and also produces black rot of the fruit. It has been known that fungi very similar to this one work on other .trees am! shrubs. Tests mady iu U)00 prove that this same species of fungus occurs on apple trees, pear trees and hawthorn trees aud on apple, pear and quluce fruits. To cause the destructive cankers which girdle the limbs the germs of the disease must get through the tough outer layer of the bark' into the growing layer beneath, the cambium. An Injury to the bark of some sort Is necessary tothis entrance, for the fungous threads cannot penetrate the unbroken bark. Suu scald as well as mechanical abrasions may cause such injuries. The bark is killed by the sun and frost and cracks or peels, -when the germ finds ready entrance «,nd rapidly extends the injured area in canker form. Sun scald_pr sunburn Is a common trouble In this state, probably more common than generally supposed, especially on tender varieties. The long areas of reddish bark on the south and southwest sides of limbs and young trunks are inconspicuous when they first are scald*<l aud so escape notice, but they are all too common and may become the seat of serious harm to the trees. Trees of tender varieties should be protected from the direct rays of the sun by training them to low, thick heads which shade both trunks and branches. . Additional protection may be given by a coat of whitewash upon the trunks, which helps to prevent absorption of the sun's rays and also exerts a favorable influence upon the bark: itself,..... A_goqd mixture Is: Lime (unslaked) 30 Tallow .., i Bait 5 Dilute with water enough to make It spray easily. .In-addition to the protection from sun scald thorough spraying with bordeaux mixture and care to prevent occidental injuries make up the preventive treatment. The larger diseased limbs may be saved from complete loss by cutting them off back of the cankered area and inserting clous of the same variety. Only a few specimens showing effects of this trouble have been found in America, some coming from Nova Scotia and a few from Cortland county in this state. The cankers are unlike those of the spbreropsis and are caused by a different fuHgus. Nectria ditlssima. They are well represented by the "in spraying experiments the same year tbe bfcst returta were obtalue4 iwlth the ammc^lwar^ttrboiiatfr^f-cop*-- E»er. This fungicide Dot only kept att be tealthy and new leaves free; from he fungus, but the plants grew better ' ,than with any other treatment employed. i Bordeaux mixture gave results that [were in every way satisfactory except jthat the plants were somewhat retardled In their growth. This Is of course a serious objection to the use of this fungicide, but It is not probable that the dwarfing of the plants would have been eo great if the sprayings had been less frequent, and It Is possible that the results In controlling the disease would have been just as satisfactory. • While shading Is of considerable advantage to the plants, It does not prevent the attacks antl development of the blight fungus. It Is an interesting •tjuestlou in this connection to know, what resr.lts could be obtained by a combination of shading and spraying. It is. not probable that there Is danger- Xif-flpjjiyin.s too early, and it Is importaut to U^ep^the leaves free rrom fi'.ngv.s, which can only be done by spraying before they are attacked. Experience shows they cannot be saved after they are attacked. / •t The ammoniacal carbonate of copper used was prepared by placing one ounce of copper carbonate in just [enough water to dissolve it and then diluting to nine gallons with ordinary water from the well or the hydrant. The amount of ammonia water^ required to dissolve an ounce of copper carbonate 'is about one-half pint, and this should be diluted with from* one and one-half to two quarts of water before the carbonate is placed 1IJ i t It Is impossible to state just how much commercial ammonia water will be required, but any excess of ammonia is iiable to burn-tbfr foliage.

Thet 1« Not of Good Import—ProT* ( mtits XXV: 9. (Copyright, MOU Louis Klopsch, N. Y.) i Washington, July 28.--A practical {question which 1B asked In most * houses, and for many years, Is here asked by Dr. Talmage and answered; •text, Proverbs xxv, 9, "Discover not a 'secret to another." J It appears that In Solomon's time, as* In all subsequent periods of the world, there were people too much disposed to tell all they knew. It was *lab, blab, blab; physicians revealing 1the case of their patients, lawyers exposing the private affairs of their clients, neighbors advertising the faults •of the next door resident, pretended friends betraying confidences. i \ One-half of tTfetrbuDleoreTeiy^TOmmunity comes from the fact that so many people have not the capacity to 'keep their mouths shut. When I hear •something disparaging of you, my first duty is not to tell you, but if I tell you what somebody has said against you and then go out and tell everybody else what I told you, and they go out and tell others what I told them that I told you, and we all go out, some to hunt up the originator of the story and others to hunt it down, we shall get the whole community talking about what ycu did not do, and there will be as many scalps taken as though a band of Modocs had swept upon a jhelpless village. We have two ears, but only one tongue, a physiological —suggestion that—wo ought to—hear_jL Wood deal more than we tell. Let. us Jjoin a conspiracy that we will tell each ''other all the good and nothing of the fill, and then there will not be such 'awful need of sermons on Solomon's jwords, "Discover not a secret to an- < J o t h e i \ ~ ~ ~ , Solomon had a very large domestic •Jclrcle. In his earlier days he had very •Iconfused notions about monogamy and •polygamy, and his multitudinous associates in the matrimonial state kept him too well informed as to what was going on in Jerusalem. They gathered up all the privacies and poured them Into his ear, and his family became a • sorosis or female debating society of 700, discussing day after day all the • difficulties between husbands and wives, between employers and employes, between rulers and subjects, until Solomon, in my text, deplores volubility about affairs that do not belong to us and extols the virtue of secret! veness.' Ontbrenehtafft of Sympathy. You sometimes see a man with no 'Outbranchings of sympathy. His nature is cold and hard, like a ship's mast ice glaced, which the most agile ;4aaik)r could never climb. Others have 'a thousand roots and a thousand f ibranches. Innumerable tendrils climb ittheir hearts and blossom all the way jjup, and the fowls of heaven sing in the ^branches. In consequence of this ten- • dency we flhd men coming together in " tribes, in communities, in churches, in societies. Some gather together to culjtlvate the arts, some to plan for the —welfare of the stale, bunie to dincuaq religious themes, some to kindle their mirth, some to advance their craft. So every active community is divided into associations of artiBts, of merchants, of bookbinders, of carpenters, of masons, of plasterers, of shipwrights, of plumbers. Do you cry out iagainst it? Then you cry out against «a tendency divinely implanted. Your •tirades wduld accomplish no more than ?if you should preach to a busy ant Itiill a long sermon against secret societies. i Here we find the oft discussed question whether associations that do their iwork with closed doors and admit their members by passwords and greet each •other with a secret grip are right or [wrong. I answer that it depends entirely on the nature of the object for which they meet. Is it to pass the ftours in revelry, wassail, blasphemy •and obscene talk or to plot trouble to 'the state or to debauch the innocent, 1then I say, with an emphasis that no man can mistake. No! But is the object the defense of the rights of any class against oppression, the improvement of the mind, the enlargement of ]the heart, the advancement of art, the •defense of the government, the extir- \patlon of crime or the kindling of a jpure hearted sociality, then I say, with JJust as much emphasis, Yes! j Secret SocUHe*. ', There are secret societies in our colleges that have letters of the Greek alphabet for their nomenclature, and •fthetr members are at the very front in •scholarship and Irreproachable in mortals, while there are others the scene »ot-carousal, and they gamble, and they jdrink, and they graduate knowing a {hundred times more about sin than /tatty do of geometry and Sophocles, Jn other words, secret societies, like Individuals, Are good or bad, arc the means of moral health or of temporal and eternal damnation. All good people recognize the vice of slandering an individual, but many do not see the sin. of slandering an organization. There are old secret societies in this and other countries, some of them centuries old, which have been widely denounced as immoral and damaging in their influence, yet I have hundreds of personal friends who belong to them —friends who are consecrated to God, pillars in the church, faithful in all relations of life, examples of virtue and piety. They are the kind of friends whom I would have for my executors at the time of decease, and they are the men whom X would have carry me out to the last sleep when I am dead. You cannot make me believe that they would belong to bad institutions. They are the men who would stamp on anything iniquitous, and I would certainly rather lake their testimony in regard to such societies than the testimony of those who, having been sworn in as members, by their assault upon them confess themselves perjurers. One of these secret societies gave for the relief of the sick in 1S73 in this country, $1,490,274. Some of these societies have poured a very heaven of sunshine and benediction into the home of suffering. Several of them are founded on fidelity to good citizenship and the Bible. I have never taken one of their degrees. They might give me the grip a thousand times and I would not recognize it. I am ignorant of their passwords, and I must judge entirely from the outside. But Christ has given us a rule by which we may judge not only all individuals, but all societies, secret and open. "By their fruits ye shall know them." Bad societies make bad men. Good socleties make good men. A bad man will not stay in a good society. A good man will not stay in a bad society. I1,1 1.IWIIW Then try all secret societies by two or three rules. Influence en Home L.fe. Test the first: Their influence on home, if you have a home. That wife soon loses her influence over her husband who nervously and foolishly looks upon all evening absence as an assault on domesticity. How are the great enterprises of reform and art and literature and beneficence and public weal to be carried on if every man is to have his world bounded on one side by his front doorstep and on the other side by his back window, knowing nothing higher than his own attic or lower than his own cellar? That wife who becomes jealous of her husband's attention to art or literature or religion or charity is breaking her own scepter of conjugal power. I know an instance where a wife thought that her husband was giving too many nights to Christian service, to charitable service, to prayer meetings and to religious convocation. She systematically decoyed him away until now he attends no church, watts upon no charitable institution and is on a rapid way to destruction, his morals gone, his money gone and, I fear, his soul gone. Let any Christian wife rejoice when her husband consecrates evenings to the service of humanity and of God or anything elevating, but let no man sacrifice home life to secret society life, as many do. I can_point out to you a great many names of men who> are guilty of this sacrilege. They are as genial aa angels at the society room and as ugly as sin at homo. They are genereous on all subjects of wine suppers, yachts and fast horses, but they are stingy about the wives' dresses and the children's shoes. That man has made that which might be a healthful Influence a usurper of his affection and he has married it, and he is guilty of moral bigamy. Under this process his wife, whatever her features, becomes uninteresting and homely. He becomes critical of her, does not like the dress, does not like the way she arranges her hair, is amazed that he ever was so unromantic as to offer her hand and heart. There are secret societies wnere membership always involves domestic shipwreck. Tell me that a man has joined a certain kind and tell me nothing more about him for ten years, and I will write his history if ne be still alive. The man is a wine guzzler, his wife broken hearted or prematurely old, his fortune gone and his home a mere name in the directory. Erlle or Bed Aeeeeleftleoe. The doctor coming in will at a glance see it is not only present disease he must fight, but years of fast living. The clergyman, for the sake of the feelings of the family on the funeral day will only talk in religoua generalities. The men who got his yacht in the eternal rapids will not be at the obsequies. They have pressing engagements that day. They will send flowers to the coffin, will send their wives to utter words of sympathy, but they will have engagements elsewhere. They never come. Bring me mallet and chisel, and I wi?l cut that man's epitaph, 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord?" "No," you say *that would not be appropriate.* "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his?" "No," you say, "that would not be appropriate.' Then give me the mallet and the chise and I will cut an honest epitaph, ."Her, lies the victim of dissipating associa tions!" Another test by which you can fin< whether your secret society Is right oi wrong Is the effect it has on your secu lar occupation. I can understand ho* through such an institution a man cat reach commercial success. I kno* some men have formed their best business relations through such a channel If the secret society has advantaged you in an honorable calHng.lt Is a good one, but has your credit failed? Ar< bargain makers now more anxious how they trust you with a bale oi goods? Have the men whose namei were down in the commercial agency Al before they entered the society been going down since in commercial standing? Then look cut. You and I every day know of commercial establishments going to ruin through the social excesses of one or two members, their fortune beaten to death wirh ball players' bat or cut amidships with the front prow of the regatta or going down under the swift hoofs of the fast horses or drowned in the large potations of cognac or Monongahela. That secret society was the Loch Earn. Their business was the Ville de Havre. They struck, and the Ville de Havre went under! tu tho Lust Iloarg. Which would you rather have In your hand when you come to die, a pack of cards or a Bible? Which would you rather have pressed to your lips In the closing moment, the cup of Belshazzarean wassail or the chalice of Christian communion? Whom would you rather have for you,r pallbearers, the elders of a Christian church or the companions whose conversation was full of slang and innuendo? Whom WOuTdT you father have^^ for-yoTrr eternal companions, those men who spend their evenings betting, gambling, swearing, carousing and telling vile stories or your little child, that bright girl whom the Lord took? Oh, you would not have been away so many nights, would you, if you had known she was going away so soon? Dear me, your house has never been the same place since. Your wife has never brightened up. She has never got over it. She never will get over it. How long the evenings are with no one to put to bed and no one to whom to tell the beautiful Bible stories! What a pity it is that you cannot spend more evenings at home in trying to help her bear that sorrow! You can never drown that grief in the wine cup. You can never break away from the little arms that used to be flung around your neck when she used to say, "Papa, do stay with me tonight, do stay with me tonight!" You will never be able to wipe away from your lips the dying kiss of your little girl. The fascination of a bad secret society is so great that sometimes a man has turned his back on his home when his child was dying of scarlet fever. He went away. Before he got back at midnight the eyes had been closed, the undertaker had done his work, and the wife, worn out with three weeks' watching, lay unconscious in the next room. Then the returned father comes- up stairs, and sees the cradle gone, and he says, "What is the matter?" On the judgment day he will find out what was the matter. _ • —©h7"man astray, God lielp ^y<m\—T am going to make a very stout rope. You know that sometimes a ropemaker will take very small threads and wind them together until after awhile they become a ship cable. And I am going to take some very small delicate threads and wind them together until they make a very stout rope. I will take all" the memories of the marriage day—a thread of laughter, a thread of Tight, a thread of music, a thread of banqueting, a thread of congratulation— and I twist them together, and I have one strand. Then I take a thread of the hour of the first advent in your house, a thread of the darkness that preceded, and a thread of the beautiful scarf that little child used to wear when she bounded out at eventide to greet you, and a thread of the beautiful dress in which you laid her away for the resurrection, and then I twist all these threads together, and I have another strand. Then I take a thread of the scarlet robe of a suffering Christ, and a thread of the white raiment of your loved ones before the throne, and a string of the harp cherubic, and a string of the harp seraphic, and I twist them all together, and I have a third strand. "Oh," you say, "either strand is enough to hold fast a world!" No, I will take these strands and I will twist them together, and one end of that rope I will fasten, not to the communion table, for it shall be removed; not to a pillar of the organ, for that will crumble in the ages; but I wind it round and round the cross of a sympathizing Christ, and, having fastened one end of the rope to the cross, I throw the other end to you. Lay hold of it! Pull for your life! Pull for heaven? Time Is like a verb that ean. only -fee of use In the present teats* SIGNALS TO MARS. PROFESSOR OP ASTRONOMY SAY9 IT CAN'T BE DONE. If l * k a Sqjperltr ffti Oeveved with Petroleum end the OU Set on 1*1 re ,,. it TCoeld Teke a Uoo4 Teie<eoee to See the D * * * Sir Robert S. Ball, the Cambrldgs astronomer, writes to the London Express: It was the remark of the great Sir William Herschel that the resemblance of Mars to this earth Is one of the most striking features in the solar system. The observations of the planet which have been made since the time of this incomparable observer have tended to Illustrate the truth which he then laid down. Mars U not so large as our earth, of course, but, like our earth, Mars is surrounded by an atmosphere. At the poles of Mars are vast white tracts which becoms greatly extended during winter on the planet, but which shrink again during the ensuing summer. To deny that these white tracts on Mars consist of ice or snow now seems to me a supposition so fantastic that I think wo need not seriously diccuss it. It ha3 been proved by recent observation that the large dark objects on Mari long believed to be open oceans can nojen^er be so described. By the excellent telescopes now available, thesa dark tracts have been shown to be traversed by marks of a nature s'o permanent as to be» wholly incompatible with the supposition that in looking at the dark regions we are looking at sheets of liquid. For the demonstration of this point we are indebted to the labors of many astronomers, but we must specially mention Mr. Perclval Lowell, who has devoted consummate sTfllTalfd""BWdTrtty-^ planet. With the help of a powerful telescope at his. observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, Mr. Lowell ha3 also largely extended our knowledge of the canals discovered many years ago by Schiaparelli. Mr. Lowell has given U3 some excellent reasons for his belief that these so-called canals do Indeed mark the courses along which.water is conducted from the melting snows at* the poles of Mars to the more arid parts of the planet. When, upon certain occasions, which do not recur very frequently, Mars comes nearest the earth, the distance of the planet from our globe is still about thirty-five million miles. Now what can a telescope show at the distance of thirtyfive million miles? It requires a very good telescope to reduce the apparent distance of an object to a thousandth part. Tfcaf is to say, it is a very good telescope which will show an object as clearly as we could see ft with the unaided eye if it were at a thousandth part of its distance, and if we dispensed with the assistance of a telescope. It is, therefore, impossible to hope for any signalling to Mars unless the signals were on a scale sufficiently great to be visible to the unaided eye even at a distance as great as thirty-five thousand miles. This consideration suffices to prove the utter futility of human endeavor to make any demonstrations on a sufficiently large scale to be perceptible to the inhabitants of Mars. The very largest city that this earth has ever known would be altogether too small .1 'I "..If IK ,.;: DANP ED INTO CDLOH1E* . ^ , • ; • ' • : * : < to be visible, to a being dwelling on the planet Mars, even if that being were endeavoring to see it with a tel'e^ scope as powerful as the greatest and most perfect instrument in any observatory on this globe. If the whole extent of Lake Superior was covered with petroleum, and if that petroleum was set on fire, then T think we may admit that an inhabitant of Mars who wlas furnished with a telescope as good as that which Mr. Perclval Lowell uses at Flagstaff might be able to see that something had happened'. But we must not suppose that the mighty conflagration would appear to Hve Martian as a very conspicuous object.. It would rather be a very small feature, but still I think it would not be beyond the reach of a practiced observer in that planet. On the' other hand, if an area the size of Lake Superior on Mars was to be flooded with petroleum and that petroleum was to be Wndled, we should expect to witness the event from here not as a great and striking conflagration, but as a tiny little point of just discernible light. The disc of Mars io not a large object, and the conflagration would net extend over the three-hundredth part of that disc. It Is sufficient to state these facts to show that the possibility of signalling to Mars is entirely beyond tho power of human resources. . »»P*H«oen« I t t em 1st . 'VeW .

By SYLVANUS COBB. JR. \ I CHAPTER IV.—(Continued.) • Judah got down from the back of nil horse, and having thrown the rein jOYfij the branch of a tree, he ttarted after the vclunteer guide. Halt a mile distant, at the edge of a thick piece of wood, the Israelite, was Informed that he must submit to be hoodwinked. He made no objections, and the robber proceeded to bind a sash over his eyes, after which he was led some distance further, by a winding, tortuous way-, and when the bandage was removed, he found himself in a low .vale, beneath a roof of thick foliage, and la the presence of a hundred armed men. One man—a handsome, noblelooking youth—arose and approached him, to whom his guide reported what -had transpired.— — "Do yon seek Julian'?" asked the stately youth, looking upon the Israelite with a -searching glance. "Yes, sir,*' replied Judah, as frankly and calmly as though he had besu answering one of his own brethren. "I am Julian," said the chieftain, quietly. ' "Then, Brr."" Teturned the newcomer, with a low bow, "to you I present my petition.'" "First,—who are you?" "My name is Judah, and I have been a servant in the train of the king of Damascus." "Ah,—is it 130?" The chieftain may have looked a little more sharply into the man's face, but he bstrayed no sur- -prise.- "you spoke of a petition. What Is it?" Judah removed his mantle, and then stripped off his tunic, thus baring his back to the gaze of those who stood around. "Do you see that back?" he cried, quivering, and grinding his teeth. "Do 5*ou see where the cruel lash has eaten into my flesh? Horam, king of Dimascus,. put that stain upon me. Do you wish me to say more?" "L think you would be revengad upon the king?" said Julian. "I would be placed in the very front of that force which is to strike at Horam, or at anything belonging to him. I am not of Damascus born, and my love is not there. I would join my fortunes with those of Julian." After a very short conference with some of his companions, the chieftain informed Judah that he might remain where he was; and that, if he proved himself worthy, he would be received Into full fellowship. The Israelite expressed himself as thankful for the favor thus conferred and was soOn allowed to mingle with the members of the band. For two days he ate with them, and Joined them in their sports; and during that time he knew that watchful eyes were upon him. But he was equal to the task, and on the third day he was counted as one of them. On the fourth day one of the sentinels brought a black man into the camp, who gave his nams as Osmer, and who said that he had escaped from a tyrannical master in Aleppo. And he -furthermore-said that he-had-a-companion who was hiding somewhere in the forest. Before noon said companion made his appearance, announcing his name as Selini; and when the two had been questioned, their stories were so harmonious, and so frank, that they were suffered to remain; and finally 'they were allowed to perform the duties of body-servant to the chieftain. Judah could have asked for nothing better thus far; and he was resolved that his further plans should be carefully and surely laid. Ah! Julian little dreamed of the danger that was creeping upon him! and it was probable that they bore wealth for Horam. Just as the sun was rising, while Judah was in the wood after his horse, he was accosted by Osmir, who had been out on an errand for the chieftain.. "Ah, my master," said the black, gazing carefully around to see that he was not observed; "I am glad that I have met you. I have been wondering whether you meant to carry out the plan which brought us here.1' "Why have you wondered at such a thing?" asked Judah. ' "Because," replied Osmir, "I have made up my mind that if the choice of masters were left to me I should [ choose to serve Julian rather than the king of Damascus. I like him much the best. He is not such a terrible man as he has been represented. He Is a kind, generous man, and I blame him not for his hatred of Horam," "Well, sir," said the Israelite, speaking quickly and sternly, "do you think of turning your face from the work we have to do?" "No, no, my p master. I am not so determined, I shall follow you. Your commands must be my law. If you say proceed I am with you." "And how is it with Selim?" "You have nothing to fear, my master, from him. The two men whom you selected to accompany you will not betray you. Selim thinks of this robber chieftain as I do; but he is bound to-hisduty^and-will-perform-4t CHAPTER V. Caged. The circumstances which might have led another to hasten his operations, led the Israelite to greater care and reflection. He had not supposed that Julian would take the two blaek men to service so near his own person, and when he found that such arrangement had been made, his, first inclination was to hesitate least a suspicion of the ' slaves' honesty had led the chieftain to place them thus near him. However, after the lapse of a few days, Judah was satisfied that no suspicion, was entertained against himself or his companions, and he began to turn his attention to the work he had in hand. On the morning of the fourth day Julian announced his intention of moving, and gave orders that his men should be in readiness. A spy had arrived during the night- with intelligence that a large caravan was on its war from Tyre to Damascus, and the chieftain had determined to intercept It Soma wealthy merchants from ROOM wart U the approaching train, Judah knew the characters and dispositions of the two and he felt no uneasiness. "My good. Osmir," he said, with a smile, "concerning this Scourge ot Damascus I feel much as you feel. I have long known that he was a noble, true-hearted man. But he is an enemy cf our king, and we have promised to capture him. Just think, for a moment, what must be the result if we take him, and convey him in safety to Damascus. Think what people will say of Osmir and Selim. Now the merchants of Damascus are in fear and trembling on account of this terrible Scourge, and the king sits uneasily upon his throne; but if we arrest the dreaded chieftain, and deliver him up, the merchants will rejoice, and the king will be grateful. And upon whom shall their thanks and their honors fall?" This speech pleased Osmir, and fired him.up to new zeal in the work he had undertaken. Judah moved out from the cover to observe if any one was approaching, and when he was satisfied that he was still safe, he returned and gave Osmir such instructions as he deemed necessavy. He was careful that all should be understood, and that each projected movement should be so arranged that there could be no possible clashing. He knew the wit and temper of his associates, and he had no fear that they would disappoint him by any blunder hr mistake. "And now," said the Israelite, after his directions had been given, "if we itrc at'trti -farvored- by ?ortrrne~^'e-shaJ'i most surely succeed. Thus far fortune has been upon our side. Your position near the person of Julian is most favorable. Impart our arrangements carefully to Selim, and await my further signal." Osmir promised obedience, and the two men separated, Judah going in search of his horse, while Osmir proceeded directly to the camp, where, having delivered a message to the chieftain, he sought Selim, and in a little while the two were In secret consultation. Toward the middle of the forenoon the robber train was in motion, and when it came night they camped in an cpen wood, between two hills, near to the road which led from Caesarea Phllippi to Damascus; and here they were to remain until the expected caravan made its appearance. Sometimes' Julian took his tent with him when leading his band upon long expeditions, but on the present occasion he had left it behind, choosing that the place of his encampment should be as little noticeable as possible. After he had seen his sentinels all posted, and given such directions as he thought* necessary, he sought a place of rest beneath a large tree, where he soon sank into a dreamy slumber. It jiust have been near midnight when he was aroused by some one moving near him, and on starting up he was addressed by Osmir: "My master, I have a strange message for you." The chieftain arose to a sitting posture. "Is this Osmir?" "Yea." "From whom brim you a message?" Are Yon Uiln* AUen't Foot*£»Mf It is the only cure for Swollen.

As I walked forth a short time iftoee, a sentinel informed me that some oae outside of the camp wished to speak with me, I went to the spot designated, and there found a young bond-maiden of Damascus. Her name was Albia," "Albia!" cried Julian, storting to his feet. "Why, such was the name of the maiden who attended upon tho princess Ulln." "Aye, my lord, she is the same." "What? Do you mean that the bondmaiden of Ulin is at our camp?" ••She is." "What is her business?" "She wishes to speak with Julian." "But her business-*-of what does she wish to speak?" "She did not tell me, my lord. She would only say that she was the bondmaiden of Ulin, and she desired to see you. I knew her not; but she seemed so gentle, and so timid, and used your name so eloquently, that I could not doubt her. I think her story is true. I think she is what she represents herself to be." "Did she not tell you from whom she came?-- "No, unless her announcement that she was the bondmaiden of the princess Ulin may be taken In answer to the Query." "By the lyre of Apollo, she must have come from her mistress," exclaimed the chieftain, warmly. "The princess may be in trouble. She may need stout arms to help her. Lead me to this bondmaiden at once." "She begged, my lord, that she might not be exposed." "Lead on. I will see her." The great road wound around the foot of the hill, and ere long the guard had reached a point so utterly shut off from the camp that his loudest cry could not have been heard by the robber sentinels. —iiI«-4h^--g4rl-h«re*1'-a«k^d-J^Uau^as. his sable guide stopped and turned. "She must be very near here, my lord. I left her upon this very spot." The chieftain heard a slight rustling behind him; but, not being startled into quick action, before he could turn he received a blow upon the side of the head that felled him to the earth. He was for the moment Stunned, and before his reason was clear enough to direct his movements, he was set upon by three stout men, who bound his arms and legs so quickly that his power of resistance was gone before, he fairly knew what opposed him. "Sir Robber," spoke the Israelite bending over the prostrate chieftain, "you are my prisoner, and henceforth you are in my keeping until I deliver you up to my master. You cannot escape me, so do not trouble yourself with the attempt." "You are Judah," said the chieftain. "I am." "And these others are professed to be of Aleppo?" "Yes." "And you three serve the king of Damascus?" "Yen have guessed the truth." "By the gods," muttered Julian, as though communing with himsvlf, "I should have guessed this before. I have been blind. I have acted lil*>. a child. But I am not yel quite lost. I am still within the—' The Israelite had been watching him narrowly, and when he saw that the chieftain had a disposition to call for help, he sprang upQn_hlm-iind-stopp&d-f his mouth. "Do not blame yourself, Sir Robber. Judah of Damascus has done more difficult work than this; and you may take to yourself the assurance that when he set out upon his mission the deed was sure of its accomplishment. Ah, here comes Selim with the horses. You shall have an easy ride and a quick one; and when you are in the presence of the king you can plead your case as eloquently as you please, I have not time to listen; nor have I the power to judge." The Scourge of Damascus, in the full vigor of robust manhood, and possessed of a strength and daring beyond any of his stalwart followers, was a prisoner in the hands of three slaves—a prisoner within sound of his own camp—and so surely a prisoner that he had no way of escape. His steel-wrought muscles were powerless beneath the cruel bonds, and his mouth was stopped .from the utterance of .alarm. He was lifted from the ground and placed upon the back ol a powerful horse, and in a few moments more he was being borne swiftlj away from his friends and companions— away towards the city where dwelt his deadliest enemies.

A cloek Is to be seen at Brussels which comes about as near being a perpetual motlen machine as can be Invented, for the sun does the winding. The following is the method by which It works: A shaft exposed to the solar rarys causes an up draft of air, which sets the fan in motion. The fan actuate* mechanism w which raises the weight of the clock until It roaches the top and then puts a break en the fan till the weight has gone down a little, when the fan Is again liberated and proceeds to act as_before, As_lpng*as the sun shines frequently enough and the machinery does not wear out the clock wilt keep in perpetual motion. Heavy canvas or duck makes, a very good covering to put over the* frame. If moths once get Into a hive of black bees, it Is only a question of time when It will be destroyed.

The Staatsrath in Christiania has ruled t h a t the use of the word shall henceforth not be obligatory upon the bride, but "facultative" T h a t is to say, the bride is to be free either to say that she will be "faithful and obedient," or simply to say that she will be "faithful."

The orchards of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys blossom some months before the southern sage brush. The bee-farmer, t h e r e - fore, carts his bees about from place to place as the seasons advance, and thus, by keeping them busy nine months of the year, gets three crops of honey. The difficulty of moving bees during the active season is overcome by traveling a t night. As t h e bees help to pollenize the flowers and thus produce superior fruit, the owners ef t h e orchards regard them with favor. In results the plan is even better t h a n t h a t of the enterprising farmer who crossed his bees with fireflies so t h a t they could work nights. Shot Hi*. Wife.

From $224,704 in 1S1K1 the allowances of the board of state auditors have increased to $4O7.S10 in the fiscal y e a r which closed J u n e ;!0.

For the previous fiscal y e a r the allowances were $4oS,7S7 and for the year ISOD, $:^..707.

Count Okuma, in an address which formed a p a r t of the dedicatory exercises, expressed social and educational views which could not be surpassed for liberality by the leaders of thought in our own country or England. " W h e n o u r women are educated," he said, "our nation will he twice as strong as It is now. The countries which have tried t o get along with a standard which applies only to the education of men have fallen conspicuously behind in the race of h u m a n progress." As illustrations he named Egypt, Turkey, Persia and China, The count admitted t h a t society in J a p a n was disfigured by many abuses. The remedy, in his opinion, lies in a radical reform of t h e ideals of family life, which can be •fleeted only by such an improvement to the status of women as t h e s e w university will bring a b o u t Land f2.

"Come to think of it," said George Peterson to Will Garrison, as the two stood, chatting on the highway, "I beard that you said that one of us was a-goln' to git a bullet-hole in him * afore long?" "Well, now," returned Will thoughtfully, screwing his left eye and digging at his scalp, "hit comes to me thet I hed jest about sich talk." "You think we ought to shoot over Tillie Adams, eh?" "I don't see thet we cud choot over - ennythlng more Important; do you? I shot ole Jim Stacy over a hog last summer, an' by gum, in my estimation, Tillle Adams is wuth a whole drove o' hogs." "That 1B all true," admitted George; "hogs ain't to be mentioned in the same breath with TUlle—no man gits ahead o' me in appreciating her worth —but the question is one o' policy an' good jegment—ort we to kill each other over her?" "Now, that is a matter to seriously both live, an' one gits ben totter wad ruther be 4ead, WlUi on* dead,.he'» M everlasting peace, anV th« othec is happy with TUIieT Now, what1 do you •ay?"

"I kin jlst see Tillle, her booUful face, like er dew-wet rose, hanging over me right now'" "Hush! Go ter drawin' a plcter .like that, an' I'll commit suicide to git to be the one to git hung over." The two men laughed merrily, while at the same time they were unjointing the "pops," casting out old hulls and putting new cartridges Into the cylinders. "How far off had we better get?" asked George. "Oh, we-e-11, say—well—one hundred yards—and step forward ten steps at each fire." "That's good—say, who's them comin' in that buggy?" "Burned ef I don't believe It's Bill Tom Branner an' Tillie." "That's jest who they is, by gum!" An old topless buggy, drawn by a thin, bay horse rattled up. The occupants, coming opposite, inclined their heads gently, smiled pleasantly and passed on, a foam of dust rising in their wake. ' ' . "She smiled at me, George." "She smiled at me, Bill." "Say, Bill," laughed George. "Wouldn't it be a good 'un on us if Tillie loved that dog dratted rascal with her better than she do either of us?" "Huh! An' him with nuthin' but an' edication, an' not a hoss to his name! That's 'bout as redickilus as one of us bein' loved by a president's darter." "Oh, I wuz jest funning, of co'se, but, come to think, I've hcarn o' things jest as onreasonable. Ye see, Tillie has been down to the Bluegrass goin' to school for a year or so, an' thar's no tellin' what sich fool doin's as that will lead a gal to. They are curious critters at the best—gals is.

Quietly the young gallants- worked toward each other, and, before the silent company knew they had met, or knew they had occasion for quarrel, a rapid fire of denunciation began between them. ••You did step on my foot!" vociferated George. "You are a liar" shouted Bill. ^ "Boys, don't shoot, for Lord's sake!" shouted a score in concert The hitherto passive throng, was now in rolling, surging motion. The timid fell to the rear, and the bold toiled madly toward the danger-swirl L Spang! chaw on, I admit That we both love the gal more nor an ox team cud pull ef they had a down bill shoot on it, is certain. That both wud fling our Uvea, as worthless rags, at her feet, 1s ekally shore; but as to whether we'd be doin' the proper thing to do it is a matter to chaw on. But the matter must be settled some way. I believe the one she loves best orter have her, but she won't say. I believe I'm the one." "An* I, feet shore I'm the one." "An* this; shortness o' both, ye see, is what I've thought would . bring trouble.

The men stepped out, took places and confronted each other. They were to count three in concert, then tire. "One, two, three!,,r "Spang!" A ball passed through a lock of hair above Bill's left ear. He hadn't fired, and for good reason. When he went to cock his revolver the main spring had broken. He had pointed the weapon nevertheless, taking the risk of being killed rather than to explain an accident that George might regard a purposed act to avoid the duel. "We'll have to adjourn this case," sighed George, "until you kin git yer own pop." "Say, George," returned Bill, handing George the crippled weapon. "I've jest thought we kin settle this matter more satisfactory. Tillie, as well as she appears to love both, mout refuse ter marry the one that kills tother about her. Then we'd be in a nice shape—on© dead and tother wusser. Less fine out which one she really loves best; then let that lucky one give tother all his property to console him a little, and take her." "That'll be satisfactory to me—if we kin git a bill o' discovery, as the lawyers say, that will wuk." "Well, I think I've got it. Termorry at church me an' you will let on like we git in a fuss, an' pull our pops. Everybody will be excited; the wlmmen will yell, an' pirty Tillie w411 come screamin' out to the one she loves best, an' beg him for her sake to put up his pop." "The very thing!" exclaimed George ilapplng a cloud of dust from his right. leg. • • * • • A great congregation bad gathered for Rev. Ball, the celebrated revivalist of Knott county, was to preach, and the report had drawn people as a suckhole draws chips from a broad territory. The house being filled, the grounds overflowed. Men and boys covered the turf in front and at the sides, as thickly as bees cling at the side of a gum on a hot morn of July—all ears eagerly poised. Nothing save the electric voice of the speaker, fell upon the vast quiet. y When thd preacher began to pitch his tone to the scale of concluding exhortation, Bill and George, as per previous arrangement came into the crowd from opposite directions. They were radiant in their new clothes, and their new boots announced their entrance through proud measured squeaks. Being the richest young men of the section, their appearance made heads of reverence sllentlr incline and a whis- "Boys, don't shoot, for God's sake!" The windows of the house *became mouths for rapidly expelling wads of color. The doorway was a choked channel for the emission of a feminine flood. Wild shrieks went up, and benches tumbled down. Dogs yelped, and white-faced, wild-eyed women cried: "Oh, Where's my baby?" or "Sal- He" or "Tommie," where are you?" A rolling commotion of voices on the outside finally killed all distinct expression. Bill's white-faced sister got to him, and seized him by the arm, but a big, firm hand pushed her back. The constable wedged his way to George, but he fell back limply against propping men, his face gushing blood. The justice of the peace, who commanded peace, found the peace of Bill's paralyzing fist. All was in swirling, roaring confusion when the thunderous voice of the preacher hrokfl ahova the crowd with the aweing power: "Ef ye ain't got no respect for me, an' the day, an' the I^ord, respect yer neighbors who now leave single life for the holy ways of matermony. I now peform a sarimony. Be ye silent in the face of this awful, sacred inordinance uv heaven's disposition. Jine han's Thomas Benton Brammer and Matilda Jane Susan Ann Adams!" Silence fell, and so did the spirits of Bill Garrison and George Peterson. They looked up at each other and though agony loaded their slow-chugging hearts, they smiled through sick, feeble lips as thought answered thought: "What fools us fellers be!" America's First Protestant Church, v The first Protestant church in America was made of the sails of Capt. John Smith's ship hung between the trees at Jamestown, Va. The pulpit was a stump and the congregation sat upon unhewn logs during the service until .1611, when a log cabin was erected under the direction of the governor, Sir Thomas Dale. In 1638 a brick structure fifty-six by twenty-eight fdet in dimensions, with a tower through which it was entered, eighteen feet square, -was built with the most substantial material, .as its endurance testifies. It was partially destroyed by fire in 1676, but was restored and occupied until 1723, when the capital was removed to Williamsburg.—Chicago Record-Herald. Church Yards in Bad Condition. Many of the church yards in tht Highlands are reported to be in a shocking condition. There has been a scandal in North Harris, where the sanitary authorities have had to step in and prevent the people from burying any more bodies in a small piece of ground, while the churchyard at Moraig, another small Highland place, is so full that it is described as simply mounds of human beings. The Highlanders have a great liking for laying their lost ones with those who have gone before and this accounts greatly for the over-crowding. This, ot course, applies only to the old paret chial cemeteries, as the newer ones are under government control, which stops or Is supposed to stop anything like overcrowding.

Uobert S. Fosburg was on trial for the alleged murder of bis sister, May Fosburg, at the family home in Pitt*- fteld, Mass. She was killed by a pistol shot The family claimed that burglars who broke into the house caused her death, but the chief of police of pittsftekl worked on the theory that Fosburg and bis father had a quarrel, and that May was accidentally killed while trying to make peace between tbem. No evidence had been adduced in the trial to support this theory, the family adhering to the burglar story, and their statements being unshaken by trossexaminatlon. Owing to the wealth and social standing of the Fosburgs, the case has attracted great attention. Without the knowledge of spectators and newspaper men, Charles E. Htbbard, senior counsel for the defense, moved late Thursday p. m. that Robert Fosburg be acquitted of the charge of manslaughter for which* he had been on trial for seven days. All the evidence had been put in and the court immediately adjourned, but counsel for both skies and Judge Stevens retired to the lobby, where Mr. Hibbard and District Attorney Hammond ar- £ue<l the motion.

Except in isolated sections no appreotanto rellef^a^pears to have'.come to the corn crop* ~ T h e Corn Crop* <• In Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri early corn in practfealiy ruined. With early and abundant rains in these states late corn would probably make half a crop or less; The condition of the crop in Iowa is more favorable than in the before-mentioned states, and-copious rains with moderate temperature- within a week would greatly improve the prospects for a large part of the crop. In Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. Kentucky and Tennessee, more particularly the western portions of the two last named states, corn is now seriously in need of rain. In Illinois the crop has not yet sustained great damage but will be materially reduced unless the drouth is relieved within: a week. Iu the middle Atlantic states, the conditions have been highly faw orable for corn and its condition is further improved. L o o k i n g Cor a H o m e .

This the time of the year when your tires get loose and when in need of any work in that line either new tires or old ones reset remember that the cheap jobber is not always the best. I am not reducing the price but call your attention to the fact that I can reduce the time you will have to wait for your work by one-half. I am enabled to do this by the addition of new tools made expressly for expediating this kind of work. It is done neatly and completely. Satisfaction guaranteed.

If you're running a dairy,—be there one cow or one hundred— your profit dedends upon the quality of cream you're s?etting.v If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. By the old system of milk-betting you lose from ten to twenty per cent, of the cream, besides doing a lot of unnecssary work. Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change in temperture »ud consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because of the cream being the lighter it is forced to the top. You get all the cream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, the cream is smooth, sweet, firm and clean, and requires less than half the time formerly required to churn it. The butter is better, sweeter, and you get from ten to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. You can wash it in two minutes and have ready for the next milking. Taking it all iu all, it saves the women's work, costs less than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, jars, crocks, cans, etc., besides saving enough cream in one year to pay for itself tenfold.

The council made a motion Monday night to remove all of the posts in front of the stores from Howell to main streets and erect 50 posts from the southwest corner of the park to the northeast corner. Those who are living on the R. F. D. routes can take a daily paper in con nection with the local paper to,a good advantage. Call on us and let us make you a price on the combination. Several are already taking both. The village authorities in many Michigan towns will no longer alio w advertisements pasted upon telephone poles, bitching post*,, old buildings, fences, etc. Good idea. A post is not a very sightly thing when covered with all kinds ol pill and plaster advertisements. Prof. Clinton D. Smith, long connected with the Michigan Agricultural college, as director of the experiment station and superintendent of institutes, has been elected president of the New Mexico College "of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts. He has not yet decided whether he will accept. Mr. Smith will speak at the Anderson farmers'club picnic Saturday. Go and hear him. —An exchange tells of the following plan to bait game fish; "Secure a glass jar—an ordinary half-gallon fruit jar will answer the purpose— and fill it with water, putting in the jar about a doxen nice minnows. Then fasten a piece of parchment over the mouth of thejar, making a number of holes in it, and go to the spot where you desire to fish and drop the jar into the water. Tie jar should have attached 10 it a small string and float so it may be located. The game fish will fairly swarm around the minnow and it loft alone for a day or two thev will become very hungry, and the minute you drop your hook into the water with-a rownow-oa it thoy will make a rush for it." Those who are spending several days at the lake could well afford to try it. THURSDAY AUGUST 15 "Will be a Big Day In Pinckney.

Spfee* O m t Abundance; Neither • Thero Any Such Pploe M the earn of Snob* Gave King* Solomon.'' « 1 ©fcronlolee IX: 9. fOMyrlget, ISM, by Lout* Klopsch, N. 7.] Washington, Aug. 4—In this dis- Dr. Talmage corrects come of false notions about religion and It as being joy inspiring inef dolorous. Text II. Chronicles faL, 9: "Of spices great abundance; •either was there any such spice as •the queen of Sheba gave King Soloi t What is. that building out yonder ^Uttering in the sun? Have you not 4eard? It is the house of the forest tf Lebanon. King Solomon has just taken to it his bride, the princess of €5gypt You see the pillars of the portico and a great tower, adorned with ij»M shields of gold hung on the outside of the tower—500 of the shields of fold manufactured at Solomon's orler, 500 were captured by David, his father, in battle. See how they blaze in the noonday sun! Solomon goes up the ivory stairs of •is throne between twelve lions in statuary and sits down on the back •f the golden bull, the head of the huge beast turned toward the people. Fhe family and the attendants of the ting are so many that the caterers of the palace have to provide every day IM sheep and thirteen oxen, besides the birds and the venison. I hear the stamping and pawing of 4,000 fine horses in the royal stables. There were important officials who had charge of the work of gathering the straw and the barley for these horses. King Solomon was an early riser, tradition says, and used to take a ride out at daybreak, and when, in his white apparel, behind the swiftest horses of all the realm and followed by mounted archers in purple, as the cavalcade dashed through the streets of Jerusalem I suppose it was something worth getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to look at. Seeing- tor Oneself. 'Qaeen Balkis was so pleased with ''the acuteness of Solomon that she said, T i l just go and see him for myself." Yewdea it comes—the cavalcade— horses and dromedaries, chariots and charioteers, jingling harness and clat- ' terini; hoofs and blazing shields and flying ensigns and clapping cymbals. The place is saturated with the perfume. She brings cinnamon and saf*- tron and calamus and frankincense and all manner of sweet spices. As the retinue sweeps through the gate ' the armed guard inhales the aroma. "Half!" cry the charioteers, as the wheels grind the gravel in front of the pillared portico of the king. Queen Balkis alights in an atmosphere bewitched with perfume. As the dromedaries are driven up to the king's storehouses, and the bundles of camphor are unloaded, and the sacks of < /Jnnamon and the boxes of spices are -opened, the purveyors of the palace • discover what my text announces: "Of spices, great abundance; neither was there any such spice as the queen of • Sheba gave to King Solomon." NWelL my friends, you know that all theologians agree in making Solomon a type of Christ and in making the Queen of Sheba a type of every truth aeeker, and I will take the responsibility of saying that all the 9piksnard and cassia and frankincense which the queen of Sheba brought to King Soloxnon are mightily suggestive of the sweet spices of our holy religion. Christianity is not a collection of : sharp technicalities and angular facts and chronological tables and dry statistics. Our religion is compared to frankincense and to cassia, but never to nightshade. It Is a bundle of myrrh. It is a dash of holy light. It is a -sparkle of cool fountains. It is an opening of opaline gates. It Is a collection of spices. Would God that we were as wise In taking spices to our Divine King as Queen Balkis was wise in taking the spices to the earthly Solomon. Christ Bring-1 Chturfnlness. How any woman keeps house without the religion of Christ to help her is a mystery to me. To have to spend the greater part of one's life, as many women do, in planning for the meals .and stitching garments that will soon be rent again and deploring breakages v-and supervising tardy subordinates and driving oft dust that soon again will settle and doing the same thing day l a aad day out and year in and year out «ntjil the hair silvers and the hack stoops and the spectacles crawl to the eyes and the grave breaks open wader the thin sole of the shoe—oh, It Is a long monotony! But when Christ esvmes ts the drawing room and comes /to the kitchen and comes to the nursery and cosies to the dwelling, then how cheery become all womanly du- ' ties! She Is never alone now. Martha brother, Rachel because^s can help her father'water the stock, fhe^widow of Sarepta because the cruse of oil is being replenished. O woman, having in your pantry a nest of boxes containing all kinds of condiments, why have you not tried in your heart and llfe> the splcery of our holy religion? "Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things, but one thing is needful, and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her." I must confess that a great deal of the religion of this day is utterly insipid. There is nothing piquant or elevating about it. Men and women go around humming psalms in a minor key and cultivating melancholy, and their worship has in it more sighs than raptures. We do not doubt their piety. Oh, no! But they are sitting at a feast where the cook has forgotten to season the food. Everything is flat In their experience and in their conversation. Emancipated from sin and death and hell and on their way to a magnificent heaven, they aet as though they were trudging on toward an everlasting Botany Bay. Religion does not seem to agree with them. It seems to catch in the windpipe and become a tight strangulation Instead of an exhilaration. All the infidel books that have been written, from Voltaire down fo Herbert Spencer, have not done so much damage to our Christianity as lugubrious Christians. Pat In More Spice*. I have to say also that we need to put more spice and enlivenment in our religious teaching, whether it be in the prayer meeting or in the Sunday school or in the church. We ministers need more fresh air and sunshine in our lungs and our heart and our head. Do you wonder that the world is so far from being converted when you find BO litle vivacity in the pulpit and in the pew? We want, like the Lord, to plant in our sermons and exhortations more lilies of the field. We want fewer rhetorical elaborations and fewer sesquipedalian words, and when we talk about shadows we do not want to say adumbration, and when we mean queerness wo do not want to talk about idiosyncrasies, or if a stitch in the back iwe do not want to talk about lumbago; but, in the plain vernacular of the great masses, preach that gospel which proposes to make all men happy, honest, victorious and free. • In other words, we want more cinnamon and less gristle. Let this be ; gets through fretting and joins Mary mualc ia appropriate for the drawing V'.\<K at the last of Jessus. All -day long Debora is happy because she can help Xapidoth, Hannah because she can a ooat for young Samuel, Miriam aha «a* watch her infant so in all the different depuUuienls ofwork to which the Lord calls us. Let us be plain. Let us be earnest. Let us be common sensical. When we talk to the people in a vernacular they can understand, they will be very glad to come and received the truth we present. Would to God that Queen Balkis would drive her spice laden dromedaries into all our sermons and prayer meeting exhortations! More than that, we want more life and spice in our Christian work. The poor do not want so much to be groaned over as sung to. With the bread and medicines and garments you give them let there be an accompaniment of smiles and brisk encouragement. Do not stand and talk to them about the wretchedness of their abode, and the hunger of their looks, and the hardness of their lot. Ah, they know it better than you can tell them. Show them the bright side of the thing, if there be any bright side. Tell them good times will come. Tell them that for the children of God there is immortal rescue. Wake them up out of their stolidity by an inspiring laugh, and while you send in help, like the queen of Sheba, also, send in the spices. There are two ways of meeting the poor. One is to come into their houoc with a nose elevated in disgust, as much as to say: "I don't see how you live here in this neighborhood. It actually makes me siok. . There is that oundle. Take it, you poor, miserable wretch, and make the most of it." Another way is to go into the abode of the poor in a manner which seems to say: "The blessed Lord sent me. H» was poor himself. It is not more for the good I am going to try to do you than it is for the good that you can do me." Coming in that spirit, the gift will be as aromatic as the spikenard, on the feet of Christ, and all the hovels on that alley will be fragrant with the spice. Staffing »• ft Religion* Doty. I promise a high spiritual blessing to any one who will sing in church and who will sing so heartily that the people all around cannot help but sing. Wake up, all the churches from Bangor' to San Francisco and across Christendom! It is not a matter of preference. It is a matter of religious duty. Oh, for fifty times more the volume of sound than has ever yet rolled up from our churches! German chorals in German cathedrals surpass us, and yet Germany has received nothing at the hands of God compared with America. And ought the ac/ claim in Germany be louder than that of America? Soft, long drawn out heaven he cays: "I hear a great voice as the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings. Halleluiah, for the Lord God omnipotent relgneth!" Join with me in a crusade,, giving me not only your hearts, but the mighty uplifting of your voices, and I believe we can through Christ's grace sing 6,000 souls into the kingdom of Christ. An argument they can laugh at, a sermon they may talk down, but a 5,000-voiced utterance of praise to God is irresistible. Would that .Queen Balkis would drive all her spice-laden dromedaries into our church music! The Btmedjr for Sorrow. Why did you look so sad this morning when you came in? Alas, for the loneliness and the heartbreak and the load that is never lifted from your soul! Some of you go about feeling like Macaulay when he wrote, "If I had another month of such days as I have been spending, I would be impatient to get down into my little, narrow crib in the ground, like a weary factory child." And there have been times in your life when you wished you could get out of this life. You have said, "Oh, how sweet to my lips would be the dust of the valley!" and wished you could pull over you in your last slumber the coverlet of green grass and daisies. You have said: "Oh, how beautifully quiet it must be In the tomb! I wish I was there." I see all around about me widowhood and orphanage and childlessness; sadness, disappointment, perplexity. If I could ask all those in any audience who have felt no sorrow and been buffeted by no disappointment—if I could ask all such to rise, how many would rise? Not one. A widowed mother, with her little child, went west, hoping to get better wages there, and she .was taken sick and died. The overseer of the poor got her body and put it in a box and put it in a wagon and started down the street toward the cemetery at full trot. The little child—the only childran after it through the streets bareheaded, crying: "Bring me back my mother! Bring me back my mother!" And it was said that as the people looked on and saw her crying after that which lay in the box in the wagon, all she loved on earth—it is said the whole village was in tears. And that is what a great many of you are doing—chasing the dead. Dear TinrA, is t.hp.rft no appeasement for all mfnmtimm WILL WE MAKB LIFE? THE NEW CENTURY MAY VEAL THIS MARVEL.

Yes; the thought of resurrection and reunion far beyond this scene of struggle and tears. "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them nor any heat, for the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall lead them to living fountains of water, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." Across the couches of your sick and across the graves of your dead I fling this shower of sweet spices. Queen Balkis, driving up to the pillared portico of the house of cedar, carried no such pungency of perfume as exhales to-day from the Lord's garden. It is peace. It is sweetness. The Mont Blagnkttoeut Temple. Have you read of the Taj Mahal, in India, in some respects'the most majestic building on earth? Twenty thousand men were twenty years in building it. It cost about 116,000,000. The walls are of marble inlaid with carnelian from Bagdad and turquoise from Tibet and jasper from the Punjab and amethyst from Persia and all manner of precious stones. A traveler said that it seemed to him like the shining of the enchanted castle of burnished silver. The walls .are 245 feet high, and from the top of these springs a dome 30 more feet high, that dome containing the most wonderful echo the world has ever known, so that ever and anon travelers standing below with flutes and drums and harps are testing that echo, and the sounds from below strike up, and then come down, as it were, the voices of angels all around about the building. There is around it a garden of tamarind and banyan and palm and all the floral glories of the ransacked earth. But that is only a tomb of a dead empress, and it is tame compared with the grandeurs which God has bullded for your living and immortal spirit. Oh, home of the blessed! Foundations of gold! Arches of victory! Capstones of praise! And a dome in which there are echoing and re-echoing the halleluiahs of the ages! And around about that mansion is a garden, the garden of God, and all the springing fountains are the bottled tears of the church in the wilderness and all the crimson of the flowers is the deep hue that was caught up from the carnage of earthly martyrdoms and the fragrance is the prayer of all the sainta and the aroma puts Into utter forgetfulness the cassia and the spikenard and the frankincense and the world renowned spices which Queen Balkis of Abyssinia flung at the feet of King Solomon. When shall these eyes thy heaven built walls And pearly gates behold, Thy bulwarks, with salvation strocg, And streets of shining gold? The famous Professor Haeckel says that/man will some day Learn how to make life—that he will know how "to produce a living substance by artificial processes." Perhaps the new century may hold in reserve this greatest marvel, which will enable the physiological chemist to assume the role of a creator. It may be only in a small way, but it will be wonderful none the less. After all, the problem Is simply to create a bit of protoplasm, which is the basis of all life, the clay of the potter—the substance, in short, out of which all animals and plants are built up. And surely that ought not to be so very difficult, considering what very ordinary stuff protoplasm is. Take a spoonful of the white of an egg, and you have it, practically. White of egg, in fact, is nearly pure protoplasm. The composition of protoplasm being absolutely known, the chemist has no great trouble in imitating it So many parts of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon are put together, and there you are. Artificial protoplasm has been made of albuminous substances and oils, and the product has actually had a movement of its own simulating life; but the movement was due merely to chemical causes. Viewed under the microscope, the stuff had exactly the same apparent structure as protoplasm, but there was no life in it, and no reproductive principle. The difference between a thing living and a thing dead is not a matter of structure or chemical composition—the two may be exaetly the same in both respects— but in the ability which the living thing has to renew its own cells and propagate fresh ones. Blood taken out of the veins of a living animal is the same as the blood that remains in the veins, but the latter is continually developing new corpuseles —is alive, in bther words—while the former does nothing of the kind. Why is it so? In the answer to that question lies the arch-se6ret of Dame Nature's laboratory. It has never been plausibly guessed at as yet, hut there Is no good reason for taking it for granted that It will never be found out. Prof. Haeckel calls attention to the fact that in trying to create life man is only making an effort to accomplish what the plants In anybody's garden are doing all the time. They take so many parts of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen and convert them into protoplasms^ the living substance. Science can combine these elements just as nature does, the proportions being exactly known, but not yet so as to produce life. "But f believe firmly," says the great physiologist, " hat the problem will some day be solved, and the artificial production of life become an accomplished fact." If a drop of blood be drawn by pifckiug one's finger and viewed under a high microscopic power there will be seen> among numerous little disc-shaped bodies which float in it and give it its red color, a comparatively smaller number of somewhat larger colorless bodies of irregular shape. If the drop be kept at the temperatnre of living blood theso colorless corpuscles will be seen to exhibit a marvelous activity, changing their forms with great rapidity, drav/ing in and thrusting out prolongations of their substance, and creeping about as if they were independent. organisms. Each is a tiny mas3 of protoplasm, and ha3 a nucleus of its ov/n. It is a structural unit of the human being taking shape as an aggregation of such corpuscles. It is the same way with all other animals, though they are built up on different structural forms, and some, like the amoeba, are so low down in the scale of creation as to consist' of but one such cell. A plant is able to take carbolic acid, water, and nitrogenoussalts, and convert them into proto^ plasm. That is the way in which, vegetable organisms grow. An animal cannot do this, and so would starve in the presence of any quantity of such raw materials.—Philadelphia Times. A OYCLONi IN MAHlTiUD., Klne-»oo| Walts *•«•*»<!

A discreet Inquiry provedi the heads to belong to a family of respectable Creole ladles, whose sufferings had proved small in presence of the agonies they were then undergoing, seeing that for twenty-four hours they had had no food, and were so painfully conscious of their nudity that even to satisfy the pangs of hunger modesty forbade their utilizing the only article of clothing left to them, viz., their boots, and make a run to the nearest standing house.—The Empire Review.

The wild ass may almost be saixi to be the antithesis of the domestic species. The one is high-spirited and untamable, the other the meekest and most submissive of quadrupeds; the one is as remarkable for its speed as the other for its slowness; and while the wild specimen ranks among the most graceful animals of creation, its every* movement typical of the untrammeled freedom of the desert over which it loves to roam, and of the unfettered breath of heaven, which seems to lend it wings,, its siihdugated congener is awkward and: ungainly. ln» color Vttt) roulan, or .jwfld ass, is a creamy white, shading to fawn on the back, with a handsome darker stripe running from wither to tail, and a corresponding marking on each forearm; the head and muzzle are finely molded, the ears less long and pointed than those in the tame donkey and eyes large and prominent and ae bright as those of the gaselle, and the legs resemble in length and lightness those of the deer. Wild asses congregate in herds of from sixty to seventy; snd it is said by the natives that there is generally but one male in every herd. It is even, rare to find a male among the young ones captured. No pettier sight can be seen than one of these herds careering over the plain sending up the solt spray like a shower of crystal In their flight Theirs is the very poetry of motion, hut the sight is too transient, their neatness of foot carrying them out of the range of vision long before the enjoymeU that their beauty gives U satiated,. ;.v ' . ; , / ' • • - . , > #t" * * UP '«!?. mmm^mm. •JPPP • ' ' i «• •• * » ' v ' ^•fe1 : * • • : A* § mm? :¾ : * # > ••?U' • * * • • * ^ ¾ 7- *£* • • ^ • • A : ' ' t w-,:. ..(. -v A- — — P « ^6e Scourge * • A Story of the E*xst... SYLVANUS C O B B . JR. Copyrlfbted WW by Eobert Bonner's Son*. CHAPTER VI. * It was pear noon, and the k i n ; of Damascus was In hie chamber with Aboul Caaaem. They were talking about the approaching marriage. "In three daya more," said Horam, "I shall claim her for my bride," "In truth, sire, it is as you have said/' replied the minister. He Bpoke net with the enthusiasm of appreciation,' hut as one who would not dispute his king. "I trust, sire, your hopas may find their fruition. I pray that Ulin may bear to thee a son, and thus make bright and promising the evening of your Ufa" "Good Aboul, I trust In thy words. Ha! what now? "Whom have we here?" "Sire, "spoke a. page, "the Israelite, Judah Is without, and would speak with thee." "Howl" cried the king. "Is it the Judah whom 1 sent from the Valley of Lycanrosr* **The same, sire."* **The*n send him to me at once. By my life, Aboul, "he cannot have accomplished his mission so soon. I dare not Tiope -BO.*" "Let -us Tiope IOT the best," suggested the minister; and before further remark could be made Judah stood In the royal presence. • "Ha, Judah—do I see thee back so soon? "Have you come 'to bring me word of failure?" "Nay, sire," replied the Israelite, "I have come to bring the robber chieftain t o Damascus." "Have you taken him ?" "Yes. sire." "Alive?" "Yes, sire:" "And have him here?" "Ready to be brought before you at any time." "He is bound?" "Yes, sire." "Then bring him at once. By the host of Pluto, I would see the fellow. But—hold. He is guarded?" '^Xe*r sire. nsmir and Selim are •with him." "Are they all?" "It needs no more. The prisoner is securely bound, and can offer no resistance." "Then let him come;" "Ye gods!" Uttered Horam, turning to his minister, after Judah had gone, "what manner of man shall we behold?" "I cannot guess, sire:" "A giant, r think—as ugly as a Cylop. But he is bound, Aboul—he is bound." In a little while the door opened, and Judah entered, followed by Osmir and Selim, who led a bound man between them. "Sire," spoke the Israelite, "this is the prisoner." "But where is Julian?" demanded Horam. "This is Julian." "This?" cried the monarch, taking a step forward, and gazing into the face of the bound man before him. 'This?' he repeated, in a lower tone, advancing another step, and gazing more earnestly upon the bold, open, youthful face. "This is not Julian." T h i s is he who hath commanded the robber band," said Judah. "Aye—and I am he whom you have called the Scourge of Damascus," spoke the prisoner, standing proudly erect, and gazing full into the face of the king. *1 am Julian, the enemy of Horam, and the avenger of wrongs done years ago." The monarch, as he gazed more intently upon those features, and as the tones of that Toice fell upon his ear, seemed startled by the memory of some old dream. And Aboul Cassem was not entirely uninterested. The old minister gazed as fixedly and as earnestly upon the face of the young chieftain as did his royal master; and he, too, seemed puzzled and perplexed. *"" "Who are you?" asked Horam. "I am Julian, the Scourge." "But what else?" "You should know what else, most mighty king. I have tried to make myself felt by you." "But," urged rtoram, taking no notice of the robber's tone, "why have you cought to harm me? Who are you that can have cause for such enmity?" "I am one who knows the bitterness of deepest wrong," replied Julian. "Fa-' tberless and motherless came I from the feeble steps of childhood; and I know that Horam was the murderer of my parents." "Ha!" cried the king, with a start. "Who were your parents?' ' "•I will not speak their names in your presence."1 "Beware, robber! I may compel you io answer." . "If you have power to extract answers from dead men, yon may force answers from me." "By the gods, thou art Insolent." "Then bind my tongue, as these slaves have bound my arms." "No," said Horam, struggling with his passion. "I have another plan. The secret which you will not speak to me you shall never speak. You siiall follow your parents with all possible speed. Judah!" "I am here, sire." "You know the deepest, darkest dungeon, where the most dreaded prisoners are confined?" "Yes, sire." "Conduct this man thither. Plunge him into the very bowels of the deepest cavern, where the doors are of iron,^ and the bolts of triple steel, and see that he is kept safely there until the morrow. You will answer for him with your life.", "Once more tho king gazed into that youthful face, and then turned away to a window. "Sire," spoke the minister, after the prisoner had been conducted away, "why do you spare £hat man for even another hour? Why do you not execute him at once?" "Because," replied Horam, starting up, "I have a curiosity to know who he is. There is some mystery in that face of his. It is now near the hour of the council, and I have not time to think. I must see him again. Did you not mark something peculiar in his look?" "Yes, sire; there is something in his face which is familiar to me; or, at ^least, it seems so." "By my life, Aboul, it must be so. Did you mark that bold front; that open brow; that Jove-like sweep of nose and chin? and did you mark the deep lustrous eyes, and the gentle curling of that sunny hair?" "Yes, sire." "And can you not read its 3ecret?" "No. Can your majesty?" "Not yet—not yet, Aboul; but I must I have a wt.rangft.piirfnsity; and it \* a j did not refuse. When ho talked of I my being queen, and of my giving birth to a king to a king of Damascus, I thought It might be my duty to offer myself. I did not then know Horam. But—now—I have learned new things, fc dread the fata which I have courted. I fear and loath* the man whose wife I have promised to become. When I first promised to give myself to Horam I felt that I could perform the duty without the sacrifice of any real virtue or' comfort of life. But, oh, how changed it has all' become. Not only does my whole nature shrink from the sacrifice, but it seems as though a fate worse than death were involved in the ordeal. Last night I dreamed that Horam was my husband, and that he meant to kill me. He did not plan to drown me, as he did poor Helena; but he declared that I should be thrown alive into a den of wild beasts. It makes you shudder, Albia," "Oh, how terrible!'" "And yet, my dear girl, I dreamed that I felt a relief when I knew that death was coming, even though it was to come so dreadfully. Just think what -a state of mind that must be. Oh, it is horrible! Dear Albia, I know not what to do." "Have you told me all?" whispered the bondmalden, winding her arm about her mistress' neck, and kissing her upon the brow. "Have I not told you enough?" returned Ulin, covering her face with her hands. "Not if there is more to tell, dear lady. You have trusted me this far— trust me with all. You have told me that you dread the king; and I do not wonder at this. You cannot have forgotten that I spoke against the union from the first. It seemed to me unnatural. But, lady, there is something more." "Nothing more which I dare to tell, Albia. Nay—do not ask me. I have told you all that I can tell. And now I ask you—what can I do? The fatal SB* curiosity which has been stransHy and suddenly excited." CHAPTER VII. At Hassem's House. Ulin had lost none of her wondrous beauty; but she had become pale, and the healthy flash of the eye was gone. Late in the evening she sat in her chamber, with her brow resting upon her hand, and ever and anon a deep sigh escaped her. "My dear, good mistress," spoke Albia, gliding to the side of the princess, and resting her hand affectionately upon her arm, "I cannot bear to see you suffer so. What is it?" "It is nothing, Albia." Ulin spoke without raising her head, and her voice was low and sad. "Don't tell me that," urged the attendant. She got down upon her knees, and gazed earnestly up into Ulin's face. "Oh, my dear lady, you are miserable and unhappy. Why will you not pour out your sorrows to me? Perhaps I can help you bear them. You know I love you; you know that I will be faithful. Tell me all, and I will suffer with you if I can; and I will help you if there is help to be had. As I live at this moment, so, if it should appear to me necessary, would I lay down my life for your welfare. Will you not trust me?" "Ulin leaned her head forward upon Albia's shoulder, and burst into tears. "Oh, Albia, you are my friend—you are my sister. I know you love me; and I cannot tell you how grateful I am." "They why will you not lift the veil from your sorrow, and allow me to feel still more for you?" "I had almost resolved to tell you, •Albia." "Then make the resolution sure, and admit me to your fullest confidence." The princess dried her eyes, and finally lifted her head from her companion's shoulder. "Dear Albia, I know not how to commence. I am a child—a poor, foolish child—as you will say when I have told you all. You will say that I deserve to suffer, and that punishment should be mine." "Nay, my lady," responded the bondmaiden; "you must not commence in that way. Tell me first all the cause of your sorrow; and leave it for me to base my own judgment. Come—trust me, and let me give you all my sympathy." A few moments the princess was silent, and then she said, with a low tremor in her voice: "Dear Albia, when I said that I would marry with the king I did not think what I was doing. That strange dream, so wonderfully repeated, led my father to broach the subject, and I have promised to give myself to the king." ' "There is one thing you can do, my mistress—one thing alone, which I can see." "Speak, Albia." "You can flee." "Flee!" repeated Ulin, in a startled whisper. "There is but one other course open to you.' MEMBER OF FRnu CONGRESS mn ISLANDS • : / . . . > » Cured of Catarrh of the Stomaclr by Pe-ru-na. yuiitmniuiuiimuu in 1 uutii Humming v : CONGRESSMAN R. W.

A Korean wonder is a drop of the sweat of Buddha. For 30 paces around the temple In which it is enshrined not a.blade of grass*will grow. There are no trees or flowers inside %the sacred square. Even the animals decline to profane a spot so holy. The men who write dime novels do no not wear their hair long. They carry no six shooters or bowie knives, and many of them never saw a live Indian or cowboy. The writing of such literature is a business rather than a profession, and the only special qualifications requisite to success are an imagination of great resource and fertility and an unlimited capacity for hard* and rapid work. Four or five large publishing houses in New Yor k produce tons of such literature every week. 4 How It is Dene.

T Vrf Pincsn»y A Joseph Paul, writing in the Standard about the abolition of the canteen in the British army hi India, says: "Knowing the terrible amount of drinking in tbe army in India, and that druukeuuess is tbe father of many other vices, and seeing the evangalistic work met with so much opposition on the part of many officers, Sir Frederick determined to remedy these evils. Accordingly, a thorough reformation in the canteen system was attempted. And no one outside of the army knows what a gigantic undertaking this was. Where formerly men sat within bare walls and at dirty benches drinking bad beer from tiu pots, which they carried to and from their barrack-rooms, and with absolutely nothing to divert their minds from drinkirjg, there sprang up decorated walls, clean floors, covered tables, glasses, innocent games and reading matter, all of which taught the soldier something of self-respect After awhile the coffee shop, which hitherto had been in the hands of Mohammedans, was taken up by the soldiers themselves and greatly improved in cleanliness, respectability and attractiveness. The temperance coffee sbopB, too, came to a recognized institution and received a due share of attention. Here men could spend a quiet evening reading, writing letters, sipping a cup of tea or coffee, or even have a substantial meal served. No half-drunken comrade could molest the self-respecting man here. To my personal knowledge, the regimental savings band in the Lucknow cantonments received a marked increase in the number of depositors as a result of these changed conditions. In fact, men began to see that someone cared for them and desired to elevate them socially and morally. Non-commissioned officers were at this time sirictly enjoined to teach self respect by example; and if they themselves were found drunk, p j f h A r n n nr n f f ( W . y , t l i A y w e r e MATRON AND MAID.

The Coopersvillfl Observer rightly asks: "Mr. Farmer, when you are sending to Chicago, or some other city for your groceries, i clothing, hardware, etc., because you can save a little, do you ever stop to think who it is who buys your butter and eggs, your potatoes, cabbage, wood, etc? D o you send them to the Chicago bouse? Suppose everyone sent to Chicago for their supplies, how long could the home merchant stay in business? Suppose they were all obliged to shut up shop and you were obliged to go thirty or forty milss to market your produce, how mueh would your farm be 'worth compared with to-day? Just revolve these ideas over in your mind and ask yourself the question, 'Does it pay to buy in Chicago even if I can save a few cents on a dollar?' If you conclude that it does, the next time that you get bard up and need a Jittle credit, just write the Chicago house and ask for it. When you have a little produce to bell, write and get their price. You will find they do business for cash only and have no use for your credit or produce.," wmmm • i.fiiii 3 A little Jackson girl has written the following QBsay about boys; u The boy is not an animal, yet they can be heard to a considerable distance.

Henry L, L'Hommedieu, son of Richard H. L'Hommedteu, of Detro.it, general superintendent of the Michigan Central Railroad, was struck by a train near Ann Arbor Wednesday night, and instantly killed. The young msm was a member of the 11)04 engineering class of the University of Michigan and was improving his lime this s,unimer with the practical side of civil engineering by working us a rodman for the Michigan Central in this department. Assistant Engineer H. H. Adams, in speaking of the accident, said: "It was simply a case of Henry's mistake in supposing that the passenger train would ,comc In on the other track. I was at least 500 feet away from him ami when the train rushed by me and I saw Henry walking on the wrong track and with his back to the train 1 yelled at him 1o get off, but the noise of the train drowned my voice. His attention was not attracted, at least he never looked around and the engine struck him. The train made enough noise to alarm him if he had had any idea that he was on the wrong track. "Judging from the visible injuries, his head must have struck one of the rails, breaking his neck. Besides this, An .atrocious murder jwas jcommitted | hjsright leg was fractured just below the knee and at a point immediatelyal> ove the ankle it was broken so badly that the skiu and muscles were all that retained the foot to the leg.

At the beginning of the new fiscal year the pneumatic tubes which have been employed in the postal service of New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and' Boston went out of operation, and the mail wagon has taken their place. .This" looks like a step backward.

No quarter will be given. /Wo are prepared to spend all the money and time necessary to. wipe out the Amalgamated Association in all of our mills." The Amalgamated Association ^ is this: "All negotiations with the United States Steel corporation are closed as far as our association is concerned. We came here hopeful that the conference would mark the close of the struggle. We return now to renew the struggle. Now the matter will be fought to a final issue unless we are *ent for by the officials of the corporation." The 400,000 employes of the United States Steel corporation may feel the strike. The American Federation of Labor may call out its thousands who handle the corporation's products; .structural steel workers may refuse to handle steel from trust mills and miners to dig coal for them.

This modification was mode* because the trust officials declared the Amalgamated officials wished 1o force men into tho organization against their will and desire. T h e Sen ley IlHiTTtry Secretary Long is having some difficulty in selecting a rear admiral to take the place of Rear Admiral Kimberley, of the Schley court of inquiry.

Luce, however, is disqualified. At a recent dinner he said in a speech that there should be but one vice admiral, and that one William T. Sampson. Indirectly be has expressed himself still more strongly so that his bias is considered to be beyond question. Secretary Long, in bis desire to be perfectly fair, AVIU. therefore, not appoint Luce. Cnpt. Parker, assistant counsel for Schley, has intimated thpt^ the defense will turn the court of In-^ quiry into a trial of Sampson as well as of Schley.

(Copyright, 1901, Dally Story Pub. Co.) W3ienJued^etier^w«nt_westto_help ^the country grow up, Rose Hawthorne thought her heart was broken. This was a logical sequence of the firm conviction that she could not live without Jared, which had led her to engage herself to him. In accordance with this fixed Idea, she, for a day or two, refused food, and mournfully contemplated tho prospect of an early demise. But an immature mind cannot long dominate a young and healthy physique. On the third day she made several surreptitious visits to the pantry; on the fourth day she dined openly and heartily; and the day after she was startled by the discovery that she had not thought of Jared for several hours. The Sunday following Jared's departure, she permitted Harold Winterset, the son of a wealthy manufacturer from a neighboring city, to accompany her home from church and linger for an hour at the gate; and she was again startled by the discovery that she en- Joyed his society quite as much as Jared's. Then she went upstairs and sat down in the moonlit window to consider. She had all the rules of love at her s fingers' ends. She knew that "Absenee makes the heart grow fonder," that true love never forgets or wavers for the fraction of a second. She was therefore forced to the conclusion that "Vie did not love Jared; that she never had loved him; and the manufacturer's had found his chief occupation in tracing his own characteristics in the growing boy. "He's a Peters, every inch of him," gran'ther would shout when Jared's boyish achievements creditable or otherwise, came to his notice. Gran'ther Peters had always liked Rose; and of all the grils in the country round, he would have chosen her for Jared. When, therefore, at the age of sixteen, Jared first walked home from church with her, gran'ther retired to the grape arbor and chuckled till he was black in the face. He did all he could to foster the budding romance; and when the engagement was formally announced, his rapture nearly caused a fit of apoplexy. When a tattling neighbor brought the news of Rose's double-dealing, the old man flatly refused to believe!_iti__but summer twiHght an inky black; and variftji'MM • M M continual flash©* of lightning iliuminated Jared's handsome, melaneholy face and sombre eyes. He sat opposite hi* false sweetheart,and Harold; and behind him, the old man, white* faced but firm-lipped, glared over his boy's head like a wounded lion. As, Jared's ead, mellow voice died away with a little break—he felt a pang of genuine emotion as be remembered poor Wiley's face with the bullet hole in the forehead—Rote's heart melted. All that was sweet and womanly and good In her untutored soul rose i to the surface. She crossed the piasza, and laying her hand on Jared's shoulder, resolutely faced her frowning parents and the chagrined Harold. "X shall stand by Jared/' she said, in ringing tones. Jared started to his feet In dismay. This climax was precisely the opposite of the one he had courted and expected. The face of the dimpled Kansas girl flitted across his memory, and in his own heart. The two young things who had been playing with the eternal verities of love and death, looked into each other's eyes, and, by the white light of the approaching storm, saw there that which made them afraid and ashamed of what they had been doing—saw the dawn of an everlasting affection—the affection that mocks disaster, and calmly ignores doubters and detractors, as the placid moon Ignores the yellow dog that bays It. Gran'ther's face was convulsed with delight. Tears of Joy meandered unheeded down his wrinkled cheeks, as, glaring at the dsicomfited Harold, he raised his staff and brought it down with a force that split it in twain. "She's a Peters, every inch of her," he roared. "Leastways, she soon will be." Rose was somewhat shocked when she learned that Jared's woes were all assumed; and that he~had prudently wnen witn his own eyes, he saw Rose and Harold strolling by, arm in arm, in the dusk, he took to his bed. After two or three days of misery, mental and physical, he arose and spent an entire afternoon in inditing a letter which struck consternation to Jared's soul. It was vague in manner and matter, but he gathered from it some Inkling of the truth; and immediately wrote—not to Rose, but to one of her girl friends. By return mail he received a spicy and perhaps not unexaggerated account of Rose's "carryings on." Now Jared, absorbed in speculation as he was, had kept a little corner of his heart for Rose; and thought himself a miracle of constancy because ae had not allowed another to share Tt—There are pretty girls in Kanaaa; and there was one in particular, with wondrous dimples, that he had noticed, just barely noticed, you know—so he made the customary remarks about female perfidy. He wrote Rose a biting letter-^and_.lQre it np4- for- -a—subtler revenge had occurred to him. He divined that Rose preferred him . to Harold—if he succeeded in making money; and he plotted accordingly. From this date his correspondence took on a dismal hue. The boom was declining; and there were vague hints of pitfalls that ensare the unwary and the inexperienced. Close on the heels of these dire forebodings, followed a rumor that Jared had come home unexpectedly, locking very seedy; and it was surmised, "dead broke." * Friends and neighbors, Rose and Harold among them, promptly gathered on the broad piazza to greet thehome comer, and learn the truth of the matter. One glance at the young man's doleful face was enough. Disaster was written on it. At first he seemed disinclined to talk; but numerous well put queries finally loosened his unwilling tongue. Among the friends Jared made In the west was one who had been born under an unlucky star. He was intelligent and shrewd; but everything he touched turned to ashes. Where others reaped golden harvests, he reaped misfortune, and his affairs became seriously 'involved. He was too young to know that while there Is life there is hope; and one night, Jared, who roomed with him, came home to find his friend stretched on the floor with a bullet through his head, and t h e empty revolver in his own stiffening right hand. With the callousness of youth, Jared adapted this young-fellow's story to his own uses. Up to the/ culminating tragedy, he told it as his own, and told It well. He was a clever actor, and fully realised the dramatic possibilities of the situation. The stage setting was perfect A. rising thunderstorm had dyed the "I Shall Stand by Jared." escaped from the collapsing boom with the neat little nest egg of one hundred thousand dollars; but she became reconciled to the situation in time.

After careful consideration, she decided that a budding Western capitalist in the hand was worth more than a wealthy manufacturer's son in the bush; so she did not break' her engagement; and it did not mention Harold in her numerous and entirely satisfactory letters to Jared.

From the day It was declared that the red-faced mite of humanity called Jaqsd was the Imafe of his grandfather, the oM man made of oak, in .the cottages of the village folk. These pieces of furniture have been handed down from generation to generation of rural folk sucb as carters, keepers, woodmen and shepherds. How^did the"Ta'm'ily" originally come by them? The explanation is this in many cases: Generations ago, when the furniture, which is once again prized greatly, began tc go out of fashion and to be superseded by stuff which we view with contempt nowadays, it was sold and farmers bought much of it. But by and by. the farmer being prosperous, and desiring to be in the fashion, too, like his landlord, bought in its place more modern chairs and tables, etc. Then the village folk bought for a song the despised oak chairs, coffers, etc., and now, once again, the old furniture has come into favor and is finding its waj back from the cottage to the hall — London Express.

Dr. Saunders of Canada says that tbe. awnless brouie grass has proved of great value in tbe northwest and baa practically sofveU tbe question, so important tfeere in mixed farming, ot obtaining good pastures Tbe brome graw Is quite hardy, gives excellent crops, and after two or three years it is found to thicken up so much that while tbe crop of hay is less, the undergrowth becomes so thick tLat It produces good pasture for the greater part- of the year. It starts to gnpw very early in tbe spring and continues to grow very late in tbe season, so that it is a very advantageous crop for tbe farmer, and a largo number of tbe northwest settlers now bave a few acres of land in this brome grass. The grass grows in a great variety of soils. It does well on good, rich land, it accommodates itself^ to almost any kind of soil and will stand any amount of cold weather. In the northern part of Russlu, where tbe people ,have long depended mainly ou brome grass for hay, it is said to grow on all sorts of soil. According to Dr. Saunders, "There is very little difficulty in getting rid of the roots if it Is, plowed under at the proper time—that is, in the autumn or early in the spring. If it is plowed later in the season, when there Is an abundance of rain, the roots will sometimes start again, but we have practically found no difficulty here, and In the northwest the strong, fibrous roots of this grass have been found of great advantage from the abundance of fibers which It produces. These permeate the soil to a depth of three or four inches, so that when a piece of brome grass land is plowed under the soil Is not liable to blow in windy weather, as is the case with ordinary summer fallow. . - "I saw this year at Indian Head some five acres of brome grass land which had been plowed. under carrying a crop of barley which did not seem to have suffered at nil from the action of the wind, although it was In a very exposed place. These'fibers In the soil had held It together." jfcjt" stays ^own~<o i n n i H r tuds are visible to tbe naked eye. A »»id«r'» T*r«a4.

The heads are 8 to 12 inches high, rounded at the ends, tirm and weigh from *12 to 24 ounces each. In quality this, variety is hardly Burpassed by any kind of lettuce. It is customary to tie the leaves together when the heads are forming, although when the plants are well grown this is not always necessary. Other varieties closely resembling the above and which appear to be hardly distinct from It are the Trianon Cos and the Paris Self Folding Cos. The White Heart and Dwarf White Heart, If distinct varieties, differ but little from the Paris White Cos and are inferior to it. The Paris Green Cos Is a little deeper green than the Paris White and the plant not quite so large, but matures « few days earlier. Balloon Cos has leafy plants and the heads not very firm even when tied. Ground Cos Is a dwarf variety, intermediate between Paris White and Asparagus Cos. Asparagus Cos has little value as a garden esculent, although some people like the fleshy midribs, which are tender, juicy and peculiarly pleasing to the taste if gathered just before the blossom stalks show in tbe center of the plants.

If you're running a dairy,—be there one cow or one hundred— your profit dedemls upou the quality of cream you're getting. If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. By the old system of milk-setting you lose from ten to twenty per cent, of the cream, besides doing a lot of unnecssary work. Cold water is added to the warm mi He and the sudden change in tempertnre aud consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because of the cream being the lighter it is forced to the top. ' - You get all the cream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, the cream is smooth, sweety firm and -'clean, and requires less than half the time formerly required to churn it. x The butter is better, sweeter, and you get from ten to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. You can wash it in two minutes and have ready for the next milking. Taking it all iu all, ii saves the women's work, costs less than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, jars, crocks, cans, etc., besides saving enough cream in one year to pay for itself tenfold.

V I M All the Flocks Are "Gathered Tojptthe^~ Whjr Some Aw Kept Back— Trust la God's Providence — Christ's (Eternal JFoontains—To the Gospel Well. lOonrrlgftt, W01, by Louis Klopscb, N. T.J Wwkinston, Aug. 11.—In this discourse Dr. Talmage represents religion M ft greet refreshment and invites all the world to come and receive it; t e x t Geaesia xxix, 8, "We cannot until nil the flocks be gathered together and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep." A scene in Mesopotamia, beautifully pastoral. A well of water of great value in that region. The fields around about it white with three flocks of «i\eep lying down waiting for the watering. I hear their bleating coming on the bright air and the laughter of young men and maidens indulging in rustic repartee. I look off, and I see other flocks of sheep coming. Meanwhile Jacob, a stranger, on the interesting errand of looking for a wife, comes to the well. A beautiful shepherdess comes to the same well. I see her approaching, followed by her father's flock of sheep. It was a memorable meeting. Jacob married that shepherdess. The Bible account of it is, "Jacob kissed Rachel and lifted up his voice and wept." It has always been a mystery to me what he found to cry about! But before that scene occurred Jacob accosts the shepherds «nd asks them why they postpone the slaking of the thirst of these sheep and why they did not immediately proceed to water them. The shepherds reply to the effect: "We are all good neighbors, and as a matter of courtesy we wait until all the sheep of the neighborhood come up. Besides that, this stone on the well's mouth is somewhat heavy, and several of us take hold of it and push it aside, and then the buckets and the troughs are filled and the sheep are satisfied. We -cannot until all the flocks are gathered together and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep." Coming: t o t h e Gospel Well. If a herd of swine come to a well, they angrily jostle each other for the precedence; if a drove of cattle come to a well, they hook each other back from the water, but when a flock of -sheep come, though a hundred of them shall bo disappointed, they only -^xprnnp H >~>y RM heating they come together peaceably. We want a great multitude to come around the gospel well. I know there are those who do not like a coward; they think a crowd is vulgar. If they are oppressed for room In church, it makes them positively impatient and belligerent. We have had people permanently leave • church because so many other people •come to It. Not so did these oriental shepherds. They waited until all the flocks were gathered, and the more flocks that came the better they liked it. And so we ought to be anxious that all the people should come. Go out Into the highways and the hedges and compel them to come in. Go to the rich and tell them they are indigent without the gospel of Jesus. Go to the poor and tell them the affluence there is in Christ. Go to the blind aud tell them of the touch that gives eternal Illumination. Go to the lame and tell them of the joy that will make the lame man leap like a hart. Gather all the sheep off all the mountains. None 'so torn uf the doga-r-Boae-HSO-^sirk. none so worried, none so dying, as to bo omitted. Why not gather a great flock? All this city in a flock, all Now \OT\\ in a flock, all London in a flock, ail the world in a flock. This well of the gospel is deep enough to put out the burning thirst of the 1,600,000,000 of the race. Do not let the church by a spirit of exclusivenesa keep the world out. Let down all the bars, swing open all the gates, scatter all the invitations. ."Whosoever will, let him come." Come, white and black. Come, red men of the forest. Come, Laplander, out of the snow. Come, Patagonian, out of the south. Come in furs. Come panting under palm leaves. Come one. Come all. Come now. As at this well of Mesopotamia Jacob and Rachel "were betrothed, so this morning at this well of salvation Christ, our Shepherd, will meet you coming up with your long flocks of cares and anxieties, and he will stretch out his hand in pledge of his affection while all heaven will cry out: "Behold, the bridegroom cometh! Go ye out to meet fcim." W h y Some Are K e p t B a r k . ': Here is another man who is kept back from this water of life by the stone of an obdurate heart which lies -over the mouth of the well. You have •no more feeling upon this subject than /if God had yet to do you the first llcindness or you had to do God the (first wrong. Seated on his lap all •these years, his everlasting arms sheltering you, where -4s—your—gratitude.? jiWhece is your morning and evening | prayer? Where are your consecrated lives? I say to you, as Daniel said to Belshazaar, "The God in whose hand thy breath is, and all thy way, thou hast not glorified.*" If you treated anybody as badly as you have treated Gcd, you would have made 500 apologies; yea, your whole life would have been an:._a£qlojQr. JThree times a day you have been seated at God's table. Spring, summer, autumn and winter he has appropriately appareled you. Your health from him, your companion from him, your children from him, your home from him, all t h e bright surroundings of your life from him. Oh, man, what dost thou with that hard heart? Canst thou not feel one throb of gratitude toward the God that made you, and the Christ who came to redeem you, and the Holy Ghost who has all these years been importuning you? If you could alt down five minutes under the tree of a Savior's martyrdom and feel his llfeblood trickling on your forehead and cheek and hands, methinks you would get some appreciation of what you owe to a crucified Jesus. Heart of Stone, relent, relent, Touched by Jesus' cross subdued; See his body, mangled, rent, Covered with a gore of blood. Sinful soul, what hast thou done? Crucified the Eternal Son! Jacob, with a good deal of tug and push, took the stone from the well's mouth so that the flocks might be watered. And I would that this day my word, blessed of God, might remove the hindrances to your getting up to the gospel well. Yea, I take it for granted that'the work is done, and now, like oriental shepherds, I proceed to water the sheep. Come, all ye thirsty! You have an undefined longing in your soul. You tried money making; that did not satisfy you. You tried office under government; that did not satisfy_you. Y o ^ a r e as much discontented with this life as the celebrated French author who felt that he could not any longer endure the misfortunes of the world and who said: "At 4 o'clock this afternoon I shall put an end to my own existence. Meanwhile I must toil on up to Xhat time for the sustenance of my family." And he wrote on his book until the clock struck 4, when he folded up his manuscript and. by his owu hand, concluded .his earthly life. Christ's E t e r n a l F o u n t a i n s . There are men who are perfectly discontented^.._Unhap_py in the past, unhappy today, to be unhappy forever unless you come to this gospel well. This satisfies the soul with a high, deep, all absorbing and eternal satisfaction. It comes, and it offers the mosf!IhT!o"rTmial^Ihah~s6 much'of this world as is best for him and throws all heaven into the bargain. The wealth of Croesus and of all the Rothschilds is only a poor, miserable shilling compared with the eternal fortunes that Christ offers you today. In the far east there was a king who used once a year to get on the scales, while on the other side the scales were placed gold and silver and gems—indeed, enough were placed there to balance the king. Then, at the close of the weighing, all those treasures were thrown among the populace. But Christ today steps on one side the scales, and on the other side are all the treasures of the universe, and he says, "All are yours; all height, all depth, all length, all breadth, all f-tornitv—all mv> v n n m " Wo. dr> tint 3SSSS w;.' appreciate the promises of the gospel. When an aged clergyman was dying —a man very eminent in the church —a young theological student stood by his side, and the agei man looked up and said to him, "Can't you give me ; some comfort in my dying hour?" I "No," said the young man: "f can't j talk to you on this subject. You know j all about it and have known it so ' long." "Well," said the dying man, "just recite to me some promises." Tne young man thought a moment, arid he came to this promise: "The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin," and the old man clapped his hands and in his dying moment said, "That's just the promise I have been waiting for—'The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin.'" Oh, the warmth, the grandeur, the magnificence of the promise! The Cry for Comfort. If I could gather all the griefs of all sorts from these crowded streets and could put them in one scroll, neither man nor angel could endure the recitation. Well, what do you want? Would you like to have your property back again? "No," you say as a Christian man; "I was becoming arrogant, and I think that is why the Lord took it away. I don't want to have my property back." Well, would you have your departed friends back again? "No," you say; "1 couldn't take the responsibility of bringing them from a tearless realm to a realm of tears. I couldn't do it." Well, then, what do you want? A thousand voices in the audience cry out: "Comfort. Give us. comfort!" For that reason I have rolled away the stone from the well's mouth. Come, all ye wounded of the flock, pursued of the wolves, come to the fountain where the lord's sick and bereft ones have "come. "Ah,'* saya £001« one; "you are s o t old enough U understand my sorrows, You'have not been in t h e world 'as long aa I have, and you can't talk to me about mj misfortunes in the time of old a g e / Well, I may not have lived as long ai you, but I have been a great deai among old people, and I know how thej feel about their falling health and about their departed friends and about the loneliness that sometimes strike* through their souls. After two persons have lived together for 40 or 50 years and one is taken away, what desolation! I shall not forget the cry of Dr. De Witt of Ne* York when he stood by the open grave of his beloved wife and after the obsequies had ended he looked down into the open place and said: "Farewell, my honored, faithful and beloved wife, The bond that bound us is severed. Thou a r t in glory, and I am here on earth. We shall meet again. Farewell, farewell!" To lean on a prop for 50 years and then have it break under you!! There were only two years' difference between t h e death of my father and mother. After my mother's decease my father used to go around as though looking for something. He woiSld often get up from one room without any seeming reason and go to another room, and then he would take his cane and start out, and some one would say, "Father, where are you going?" and he would answer, "I don't know exactly where I am going." Always looking for something! Though ho was a tenderhearted man I never raw him cry but once, and that was at the burial of my mother. After 60 years' living together it was hard to part. And there are aged people to-day who are feeling just such a pang as that. I want to tell them there is perfect enchantment in the promises of this gospel, and I come to them and offer them my arm, or I take their arm and I bring them to this gospel well. Sit down, father or mother, sit down. See if there is anything at the well for you. Come, David, the psalmist, have you anything encouraging to offer them? "Yes," says the psalmist; "they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing, to show that the Lord is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him." Come, Isaiah, have you anything to say out of your prophecies for these aged people? "Yes," says Isaiah; "down to old age I am with thee, and to hoary hairs will I carry thee."

Which Is ss Largo a* sixteen of Oar States--Abounds la Wild Anftoals— Primitive Xeftfts of TmasportAtlosk It is customary to think of Manchuria, that oriental province upon which the paws of the Russian bear now rest, as a little corner of the world. It Is nothing of t h e kind. If U could be lifted and set down within the borders of the United States it would cover all the far eastern states, together with New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Its area is 400,000 square miles. It Is situated In the northeastern part of China, directly south of the Amur or Great river. Well does that stream deserve Its name, for, emptying into the Pacific at the Sea of Okhotsk, it extends backward through nearly one-third of the vast extent of Asia. On the east Manchuria is bounded by a strip of Siberia and by the highland and solitudes which separate it from Corea, the hermit kingdom. On the south is the Yellow sea and westward it stretches away 1 toward Mongolia, without natural j frontiers. In Manchuria everything is 1 still primitive. The mule carts, which < form the only means of transportation, have clumsy, nail-studded wheels, with axles as big as kegs, and which bump along over unseen stones in the same ruta which have been followed for a century. Wives are Btill bought in the market place, like calves and dog3, and are taken home, c!ad -in gorgeous colored silks and wearing headdresses of tinsel and artificial flowers. There are 12,000,000 people in Manchuria living in three provinces, Shinking,Klrin and Tsi-tsl-har. The first is the largest and best known. The chief city, Mukden, is known as "the affluent capital," and has a population as large as Washington. It is surrounded by a low mud wall, ten miles in circuit, within which is another wall, three miles around, thirty-five or forty feet high and fifteen feet in width. The city is like Pekin on a smaller scale. The streets are wide and clean and the large, well-built shops, with their n g ^ o ~ ^ r r T T f f u ^ a n d o t h e r arrangements, inp * i •rvvr. 588¾ worry much about your ailing eyesight and failing limbs.

Your children and grandchildren sometimes speak a little sharp to you because of your ailments. The Lord will not speak sharp. Do you think you will come to want? What do you think the Lord is? Are, his granaries empty? Will.he feed t h e raven and the rabbit and the lion in the desert and forget you? Why, naturalists tell us that the, porpoise will not forsake its wounded and sick mate. And do you suppose the Lord of heaven and earth has not as much sympathy as\tho fish of the sea? But you say, "'I am so near worn out, and I am of no use to God any more." I think the Lor vmi think God has forgotten you because he has taken care of you 70 or SO years? He thinks more of you to-day than he ever did because you think more'of him. May the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and Paul the aged. be_. y_our God f orever!_ _But I gather all the promises to day in a group, and I ask the shepherds to drive their flocks of lambs and sheep up to the sparkling supply. '•Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth." "Though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion." "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all." "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." I am determined that no one shall go out of thi3 house uncomforted. Yonder is a timid and shrinking soul who seems to hide away from the consolations I am uttering as a child with a sore hand hides away from the physician lest he touch the wound too roughly, and the mother has to go and compel the little patient to come out and see the physician. So I come to your timid and shrinking soul to-day and compel you to come out In the presence of the Divine Physician. He will not hurt you. He has been healing wounds for many years, and he will give you gentle and omnipotent medicament. 3 u t people when they have trouble go any-'where rather than to God. De Quincey took opium to get rid of his troubles. Charles Lamb took to punch; Theodore Hook took to something stronger. Edwin Forrest took to theatrical dissipation. And men have run all around the earth, hoping in the quick transit to get away from th^ir misfortunes. It has- been a dead fMlure.

There are indications of prosperity everywhere and the city Is regarded as one of the best in China. Over toward the Corean border there is less civilization. It has been the custom for many centuries to hold a fair in one of the towns near the Yalu river, which commands the Corean trade. This fair is under the supervision of officers and soldiers. The Manchurlans sell dogs, cats, pipes, leather, stag's horns, copper and horses. They take from the Coreans baskets, rice, cooking utensils, corn, swine, paper mats and oxen. All the trading must be done in five hours, which gives the fair the appearance of a Donnybrook gathering. Just before the sun sets all the Coreans are driven back across the frontier. Manchuria is said tp resemble the1 province of Quebec, except that within its borders are enormous ranges cf mountains which rise as high as 10,000 feet in. the air.

OosyricBted 1SW I97 Bobert Bonner4* Sou, CHAPTER VII.—(Continued.) When the princess was alone, she trembled beneath the' weight of the new thougfet that had been wrought upon her. Flight was something that had not made Its way to her mind bafore, but now that It had been presented, she could not dismiss it. She had revealed her whole feeling, so far as the king was concerned, in her speech to Albia. There may have been other springs within her soul which she did not then dare to touchy but in her own soul, unsupported and uninfluenced by ether causes than such as spring from reason and reflection, had grown a fear of Horani, and a terror of being his wife. She had dreamed of poor Helena until the dead queen seemed almost an attendant spirit upon her, sent to warn her. The night passed, and the day came; and she had resolved that she would not marry with the old king if she could avoid it. When Albia came, and asked her what she had determined, such wa« the purport of her answer. 'But," said the oondmalden, "there Is but one way in which the sacrifice can be avoided. Are you ready to flee?" "Not yet—not yet, Albia, Walt through the day." In the afternoon the king made a visit to the house of his prime minister and spent a short time with Ulin. He never looked more repulsive. He was loud in his words of love, and made the announcement that fortune had turned full in his favor. It was evident enough that he had been taking more wine than usual. When hs went~ away; UHn sank -tJe-w-n—upon, a low stool, and buried her face in her •hands. "Albia," she said, when she.felt like speaking, "1 can bear no more. I would rather die than give myseir to that man. If I should die, my father would lose me; but if I flee from Damascus, I may at some time return to him. If you can prepare for leaving the city, I will accompany you this very night." The bondmaiden promised that she would do all in her power; and without waiting to waste time In useless words, she went forth to search for the help she needed. Evening came, and Ulin had not shrunk back from the decision she had made. There were two reasons why her home had not power to win her back from her resolve. The death of her mother had taken away the brightest part of that home; and, furthermore, its character of home was soon to be changed if she remained. It could not be her home any more.— Thus ___Jherself CHAPTER VIII. Hobaddan. sat the princess, presenting .with every.__axailable -reasonthat could favor her in her resolution, when Albia came in, with a quick step and a flushed cheek. "My mistress," she said, when she had assured herself that they were alone, "there is a man in the garden who wishes to speak with you." "A man!" cried Ulin. "He says it Is a case of life or death—of life or death to an individual, and of life or death to a city," pursued the bondmaiden, without noticing the interruption. "He gained entrance to the garden, and has besn searching for the lady Ulin. He did not tell me his name; but I know that he was with the robbers at the Palace of the Valley, and he says he is a friend of Julian. If you will see him now, I can conduct him up without danger of discovery." "In mercy's name, Albia, what mean you?" The princess trembled like an aspen. "What can he want with me?" "I think he is an honest man, my lady; and I think you had better see him. I only speak my own feelings." "Does he say that Julian sent him?" asked Ulin, trembling more violently as that name fell from her lips. "Julian did not send him," replied Albia; "and yet he comes in behalf of Julian. I think the noble young chieftain is In danger, and this man hopes that you may be able to render some ^assistance." "Indeed, Albia, I must not do such a thing. It would not be proper. . I must not do it. What is the robber chieftain to me?" "I know not of a verity, my lady, —th*t^»uch^8 the man's hope; but I do know that he prays most earnestly to see you. Yet, If you will not see him, I will carry to him your word." ma»»t win h» Hn it j refuse?" prayerfully asks that you will grant him audience." The princess was not proof against the spirit which prompted to the reception of the robber. It was not wholly curiosity which moved her. There were feelings working within her which she could not have explained, even to hersalf. She told Albia that she might conduct the man to her apartment. "You will come with him, Albia; and you will remain with me while he is here." The bondmaiden went away, and ere long returned, followed by a tall, stout, middle-aged man. As the rays of the lamp fell upon his face, revealing features that were far above the average in their stamp of manhood, Ulin recognized him as one whom she had seen with Julian in the Valley o" Lycanius. He bowed very low as he entered, and when he saw how the maiden was affected by his presence, he proceeded at once to open his business. "Noble lady," he said, In a tone which might at once have banished all fear from the minds of his listeners, "I have come to you upon a most strange business, and -I will use as few words as possible in presenting it to you. My young master Is in danger." "Do you speak of Julian?" asked the princess, with a slight start. "Yes, my lady," replied the man, standing respectfully before her, with his cap in his hand. "My name Is Hobaddan, and I am Julian's lieutenant. I have been with him from the period of his earliest childhood. Since he was large enough to lift a lance, I have been his friend and.companion.. HaJSKas_^i^en^ijCLto= my care during his opening youth; and when he reached the estate of manhood I was content to serve him. I love him as a brother—aye, better than moot brothers love.—I love—him tenderly and devotedly. And all his followers love him. A thousand stout men love and worship him." What did all this mean? Why had Hobaddan come to tell her this? Ulin trembled, knowing not wherefore, and gazed anxiously into the speaker's face. "Lady," pursued the lieutenant, who had stopped a moment, as though he would assure himself that his language gave no offense, "my master is in danger. He is In the, hands of hiB deadliest enemy. He is in this c i t y - cast into a dark, deep dungeon, and Horam means to kill him!" Ulin turned pale as death, and clasped her hands upon her bosom. Her look signified that she would ask how it happened. "I will explain." continued Hobadput away some feeling of a very different character. The lieutenant evidently read her nature, for he proceeded eameetly: "Do not misunderstand me, lady, Were the work simply to set Julian free, I should not hare visited you. The work I would give Into your hands is the salvation of Damascus. If our master Is slain by the king, this city must Buffer terribly. The vengeance of those who love the chieftain will be dreadful. If Julian falls beneath the sword of the king's executioner, his followers will draw more blood from the life of this people than Polypses drew when he ravaged the city of the northern plain. To save all this, noble princess, can you not help me? Is there not some way in which you can remove the bolt from the door of the chieftain's prison-house?,r Ulin was trembling more violently than before. "0, sir," she cried, giving full scope now to her feelings, "you find me powerless to help you. I have not the influence which you ascribe to me. If I had the power, I would not hesitate If I were the jailer, and. held the keys of the prison door, I would set your master free; but, alas! I am more weak than you imagine. I am more like a prisoner than like a princess!" At this juncture the bondmaiden arose from her seat and moved forward. Her dark eyes sparkled with peculiar fire, and her fair brow worked as though the bain were revolving mighty thoughts. "Dear lady," she said, addressing her mistress, "there is but one way in which we can render the assurance which this man seeks." "Speak, Albia," said Ulin, betraying a suddenness of emotion which told very plainly how her desire ran. "Not now, my mistress," returned the girl. "I must have time: If this man can come to our garden two hours past midnight, I can tell him more." "Is there help?" asked Hobaddan, eagerly. "I cannot tell you now," replied Albia. "I can only tell you this! If there^is—aeliLJt is„.Jfi™he_Jo.ynd_onJx, in one quarter. I will look for it there; and, at the time I have mentioned, you shall know the result.

Have you ever seen an Israelite named Judah?" "I know him well," said Albia. "He Is the king's slave." "And two BIactt~nl?ft, named OsmTr' and Selim?" "I know them also," answered the bondmaiden. "They came to our camp," said Hobaddan, "and told so fair a story that they were admitted to fellowship, and the blacks were placed as servants near the person of our chieftain. But the result proved that they were sent out by Horam, and that their mission was to capture the Scourge of Damascus. And this work they have accomplished How they did it I cannot tell. I only know th3t we missed our leader, and that the three conspirators w?re missing with him. I came at once to this city, and have succeeded in discovering what I have told you. Julian is in prison, and of course the fate of death awaits him." "But sir. said Ulin. struggling to speak calmly, "what can this mean to me?" "Noble lady, 1 know that the thought of seeking you was a wild one; and perhaps you will say it was monstrous; but I could think of no other course. I know that your father was prime minister; and that you were in a position to wield some influence. There is not an officer in Damascus to whom I would dare to apply. Is there not some way in which you can help me?" "How, sir? Help you in what?" "In setting my young master free." "Indeed, sir. you have taken a step most wild. Hew shouid I, the daughter of Abcml Cassera, dare to step in between justice and its victim?" "AhHady," returned the lieutenant, "some of us think that others higher than Julian owe more to justice than does he.Il. "Still, sir," pursued Ulin, "it is most sion?" said Hobaddan. "Yes." returned Ulin. She would have >:aid more, but Albia was already at the door, and the robber had turned to follow her. CHAPTER IX. The Dark Hour. "It seemed like a dream to Ulin. She closed her eyes—and opened them —and arose—and walked across the chamber—simply to assure herself that she was awake. Was it possible that a member of the robber band had been to see her—had been within her chamber—had come, and had gone? A friend and companion of Julian's seeking her for aid in behalf of the chieftain? She was trying to make it appear real, when her bondmaiden returned. ' SKIN The door was closed, and Albia remarked, as she took a seat: "He will be in the garden two hours past midnight, my lady; and if we can help him, we must do our work as absuTd to think that I could help you In this." Did Ulin appear like one offended? No. Did she treat the name of Julian as though she deemed him worthy of the fate which threatened htm? No, 8he teemed rather to be struggling to speedily as possible." "Help." repeated Ulin, gazing into her attendants face. "How can we help Julian?' "The thing may be possible," replied Albia, in a thoughtful mood. "If you would serve him. I think a way can be opened to the arcomplishment." 1 he princess reflected a few moments, and then said: "If the mnn who was here spoke the truth, it may become my duty to help him; and certainly his story! seemed plausible. I can very easily] see hew the powerful robber band, moved to desperation by the death o? their beloved leader, might wreak most terrible vengeance upon this city: and surely, if we can be the means of averting so dire a calamity. it is our duty so to do." "I think it is." added Albia. "But.'' continued Ulin. "if Julian is in the power of the king, he must be in one of the strongest dungeons'; and a strict guard must be kept over him. How can we reach him?" "I can think of but one way," returned the bondmaiden, laying down the pKn with her finger as she proceeded. "Osmir and Selim had a hand in capturing the-young chieftain; and it is not impossible that they may have a hand in guarding him. I judge so from the fact that the capture of the robber has not yet become generally known in the city, which would certainly have been the case if the king's officers had known it. Now we havo some claim upon the gratitude of tills Osmir. and I think he is, by nature, grateful enough to repay us. H i is the man whom we found faint and dying upon the shore of the lake, and who must have died if we had npt nursed him. You remember the circumstance?" ."He had almost been hilled by som? slaves cf Aleppo," explained Albia. (To be continued.)

Aug. 5 1901 Editor Dispatch: I will now write you a few lines to let you know where and how I am. I am qnite welt at- present, and am now in the coast artillary. 1 was transfered from the cavalry to the 20th Co. Coast Artillery, formerly battery "H" 2nd Coast Artillery. But lately they have made some changes. Now all the coast artillery goes under the tittle of companies 1st, 2nd, etc., and the field artillery are Batteries 1st, 2nd, etc. The 20th is stationed behind Cabana Fortress across the harbor from; the city. We are on a sort of peninsula with the harbor on one side and the ocean on the other. Cabana is up in the harbor a few yards and old Morro Castle stands out on the extreme point. I think Cabana is a more wonderfull place than Morro. The military prison is in Cabana Fortress Then down the coast about 600 yards from Morro Castle there is a small fortress which was built by the Spanish during the war. There are some very old guns here most of them dated back in the 17th century and some are older, but we don't use these old guns, we use some more modern but even they are not the latest appearing guns. They are all Spanish make. There were 42 of us transfered from the 4 troops at Puerto Principe. We left there July 27 at G:45 a m and arrived in Havana about 8:00 p m the 28. I went over the city on a pass Saturday and took'in some of the sights. I hired a Cuban to take me for a sale over the harbor for 50c, and I went out to the Maine and it is a sad sight to see that once grand old boat laying there a hopeless mass of junk. The Cuban pointed out to me the spot where the Maria Tressa (one of the Spanish fleet) went dowu. I am going to get a camera and take some photos of the different sights around here. I like it here better than I did out at Puerto Principi and I believe I shall like the artillery better thin the cavalry, that is the coast artillery, but I don't want any of the field artillery on A n B m e r * e n e r W i l l .

The news comes from Pittsburg that - under cover of the turmoil a n d confusion of the strike the steel trust alms to carry out a plan of merciless concentration, the success of which means ^ not only the subjugation of labor, but the extinction of cities and towns. It is obviously cheaper to operate one big mill than two of half the capacity. So the mills which-are the foundation of many of the minor towns in the iron district are to be dismantled and the ' machinery moved t> centers like Chicago, Pittsburg and Cleveland. There Is no secret about this now; the work has already begun, and more towns live marked for destruction. It is simply business with the trust. If the salaries of superintendents and bookkeepers can be saved, sentimental considerations for the welfare of towns, or for the ruin of storekeepers and property owners near the doomed mills cannot weigh with the giant corporation. An order has been Issued to dismantle and remove the Dewees \\rood works in McKeesport a t once. This will be a severe blow to the town. The Dewees Wood works Is one of the oldest and best known plants in Pennsylvania.. It was founded nearly 40- years ago, and Its shops and irillls co>"-•>. ered from 12 to 14 acres. It employed an average of 000 men, but in the busiest times the pay roll carried 1,200 names. The pUint cost several million dollars. The company recently announced Its intention of expending a large sum of money in improvements* but the order to dismantle terminates that plan. The sentiment of the citizens and officials of McKeesport has been against the steel corporation, and it is believed that the latter preferred, to get out rather than attempt to resume. ---XU*i-4rmil_£teol strlke_Json. The general order of riTsideirOfhaffei\~iJl the Amalgamated Association, became effective and thousands of workers left their places to return at some indetinitc ii:ue in the future, either victorious over the ironmasters or in humble defeat. The order to strike was generally obeyed wherever the workers were organized and enrolled in the lodges of the Amalgamated-A-sjHH.daU.in. The adion ot the executive of the mine workers at-Indianapolis in resolving to suppoit the strike cheered the Amalgamated men, and they are contident tnat the federation will aid them to the fullest extent. The closing hours of labor and the opening hours of the strike lacked spectacular action. Pittsburg, which is the strike center, was calm and undisturbed. There was no excitement or violence, and the pulse of t ! ^ community was normal. This actkn? f«illmvh».T. tim Mt.'Hrwnit of President (Jumpers, in which he promises to aid" the strikers, is regarded as significant, as it is the first movement toward uniting all the organisations connected with the federation in supporting the steel strikers. In an address to (5.000 union men a t New Castle 'Saturday, President Shaffer made this formal tender for arbitration: "Now in our willingness to settle the matter we are ready to arbitrate. Let the Amalgamated Association select one man imd let the trust select ouc. the two to select a third. We will abide by the decision of the Three." This announcement was made on behalf of the strikers that on Friday an offer to arbitrate was formally submitted to the Fnited States Steel Corporation. According to this statement the offer was made to J. Plerpout Morgan, whose reply, rejecting it, was: "This is no time' for arbitration."' The citizens of Dubois have offered $1,000,000 to have the McKeesport mill moved to that place. Fnneral of the DowstKcr EmprpM, The funeral of the Ikiwager Empress Frederick occurred at Oonberg Saturday. Punctually at U o'clock p. m. the sound of muffled drums were heard and the will-of-the-wisp likv> tinkling of torches throughout the streets told the people of Crojibcrg that tne procession had started.. With uplifted torches they drew near the town when they revealed a long black massive line on the shoulders of a dozen soldiers. Then another flare revealed the well-known figure of the emperorpaciug with somber tread just 'behind the coffin. It was a weinl wonderful sight, appearing for n moment and then dissolving under the flaring torches, while on each side for a mile along the road were revealed the glittering bayonets and helmets of*the Eightieth regiment of the line, of which the dead downjrer empress WAS eolonol-in-chlef. The deep, muffled roll of the drums added to the solemnity o £ the scene. As the. precincts of the old medieval town were reached, the scene seemed more mystical. Behind the emperor followed the royal famllv save the ladles, none of whom was in the procession; the crown prince of Greece, the vrlnce of Schnumberg-LIppe, the hereditary prince of Saxe JMenlngen, Count von Zeekendorf, who was the secretary of the dowager empress, and other notables. A double file of soldiers bearing torches walked on either side of the mounters. « < * & " Y"v ; *r I**-' •v%:^m *r ummmmm. £ ^ rfc * • r o V T Tr**d Boftly; b o w t h e h e a d - I n r e v e r e n t alienee b o w !

A small haycock for stacking with a derrick is a nuisance. To he able to build these large cocks> without too much carrying of the hay I rake the clover with a sweep rake 20 feet long, teeth six feet long, drawn by two horses. Two rakefuls ninke one good cock. In hauling to the stack 1 use this riweep rake aud haul two or three cocks at a time. In this way L can keep the stackers going. This year 1 shall try stacking from the windrow by usiug sled and hay slings, two or three sliugs to a sled. If this wIH work, and I feel sure that it will, it wiM save the labor,of cocking.

It takes, no more material to cover a high rick than a low one. A rick witti a bulge requires too much cover to protect It. Hence the sides should be nearly straight till necessary to draw in for the top. With the aid of the ueiS rick the only hard work necessary is that of the tramj»ers and stackers. It needs a man to set the foik, a man to revolve the derrick on its pivot and two men on the stack. Hoys can ride the horses te haul in the hay and the horse that works the fork. By making runners of the lower part of the frame this derrick can be drawn to different parts of the field and. from one field to another over level land without taking down the poles. The derrick should be put together with bolts, so that Jt can be tiken down and stored in shelter when not In use. If not taken down. It makes a good weather vano, but not an attractive field ornament. DAVID H.
