He is dead Station, where they remained for five now, pfellow—gone to "Davy Jones' lookeroor . He went down in the North sea. years, coming to Hastings in 1878. 1 first saw Lowe in Japan. He was at that time about 40 years old, hall made • fortune, was a bachelor, neither diesi- pabed nor an anoetic, always quiet, never surprised and yet with. a peennial smile which seemed to say, ''I oan't do muoh Unmaking myself, but I can enjoy it just the same, and you may count on me every time as an apprpojsdive audi- ence and as a chap wl pay his part of the shot." Every one liked him, and yet he never asserted or defended an opinion. Perhaps that was the reason why he was so well liked. Civilization has now reached so nioe a stage that for a man to have an opinion and ezpreea it, especially about other men, is punisha- ble by law. No one ever threatened Wil- liam Lowe. About two years after our meeting in Japan, as I walked one day into the smoking room of the Langham hotel, London, William rose ont of a chair and greeted me so calmly that a stranger ob- serving ns would have said we had met by appointment. All that he said on this mission was: "How /lib yon, Mr. Con- ' sul? Have a cigar?" At another time, having come home in season to vote at a presidential elec- tion, and prooeeding direotly from my steamer to the Gilsey House, I bad no sooner passed through the entranoe than 1 oame face to tails with quiet Willirllst.. "tie-teinarTaliffriillieweathar and made some slight mention of people whom we both knew. That was all. No waste of words, no lively expressions of interest. I told him I should return to Liverpool by a pertain steamer, and he promised to see me off. He did so, and as he had come early we had a good long chat. The "All off that aren't going" gong sounded in the midst of a recital I was giving him of the afflictions of a com- mon friend who had loot his wife and one child byfever and was now fighting for the life of a second child, so he hur- riedly wished me a happy voyage and was off 1856, settling in Now Trier, removing in 1861 to St. Paul; and after a resi- dence of twelve years in that city re- moved upon a farm near Hampton The sympathy of' the entire com- munity goes out to',the bereaved bus - baud in the loss of $ true and devoted wife.

The opening service was indeed gratifying from the standpoint of attendance at least. The front rostrum was occupied by a large chorus choir. The -sermon was by Mr. Hunt, who besides being a noted evangelist, is president of the state or- ganization of Christian Endeavorers. His text was, "What think ye of Christ?"

Shocking Depravity on the Part of Birds Witnessed by Andrew Lang. A queer story is told by Mr. Andrew Lang. The incident came under his own notice ,and occurred under the bridge over the Lochy, below the Ben Nevis Long John distillery. From this tale it IS obt'ious that animals are only sober from lade of wit to obtain alcohol: "That establishment ab nt into a burn a quantity of refuse, no doubt al- oohollo. When we crossed the bridge in the morning to fish, the ducks from the farm opposite were behaving in a drunk- en and disorderly manner—flying, beat- ing the water, diving, spluttering and fly devouring the stuff from the distillery. Their autics were funny, but vulgar. 13y 2 o'olodlc we found the ducks sleeping off the effects of their debanoh. We awakened them, and they all staggered eagerly to a bucket of wa- ter, from which they quenched the tor- ments of thirst. A small sea bird behav- ed in a still more deplorable way. He slowly drifted do. c the Lochy from the fatal intoxicating born, nor oonld peb- bles judioionaly thrown at him induce him to take the wing. He tried to dive, making efforts comic and unsnooeeaful. After drifting through thg)bridge I re- gret to say that he rettirne4 to the barn and "took a onp of kindnegt," get- ting all the more intoxicated and drift- ing back in a yet more deplorable condi- tion. What a lesson, we said, Is this to mankind, who, after all, need not speak of their boasted reasonableness! The wild and tame things of stream and ocean are as unwise as we." Solving a Problem. At a technical college on the mai- Rent, when the students of different na- tionalities had to solve a praotioal prob- lem in the workshops, the German took out a notebook and immersed him- self in long calculations. The French- man walked about and indulged from time to time in ingenious and often brilliant suggestions. The Englishman looked out of the window and whistled for awhile, then he turned round and did the problem while the others were still Winking about it.—Frowde. Chinese Ways. The Chinese are said to be very skill- ful in telling the time of day by looking into a oat's eyes. When they want to know what o'clock it is, they will run to the neareet oat, open her eyes, and at onoe tell what time it is. This they do by observing the size of the aperture of the pupil of the eye, whioh they bete diaoovered is of varying sire at different hours of the day, being afreoted by the position of the sun and the obaraoter of light, even when ths day is cloudy.— New York Timsa • The next summer I sailed from Hull, England, to Christianaand and there took another steamer for North nape. We had been ander way but a few hone when we commenced gliding in and out among the islands of the beautiful fiord. Seated on a oampatool forward, I had become absorbed in delight with the scene when a voice behind me said : "Yon were telling me about Ward's trouble. Did his second daughter die?" I looked around, and there stood the imperturbable Lowe. Bidding bim "Wait a minute until I get a cigar and I'll (411 you," Iwent be- low and purposely staid there for about an hour. Then, rejoining him, I said, "No, she got well." He simply nodded his gratification. Lowe added mnoh to the pleasure of my trip, for he was really good com- pany, although he would sometimes sit for an hour without saying a word. I would feel that he was there—that he was kind and unselfish and appreciated all that I might ay and do, and know- ing the man I was well oontent to take him on his own terms. The end of another 19 months found me making use of my leave of abeenoe by a trip to the Mediterranean and north Africa. At Tangier ope day I was eating at a email table in a quaint little open court Date and aoowling over the somewhat too savory soup when one cf the Moorish waiters handed me a on which I read, "You probably di. 't notice that there was plenty of .m at my table?" This was over the name of "William Lowe, U. 8. A." My friend's only remark as we shook bands was, "I was expecting you." A year or two afterward I was trying to make a Vienna cabman understand German—my German—in the endeavor to reoonoile his ideas of a proper fare with mine, and Was on the point of giv- ing up in disgust, when somebody at my elbow suggested: "Try him with Eng- liah. He will understand that better than your version of his mother tongue. " Need I add that the speaker was Wil- liam? Months passed, and I had run across the German ooean to Hamburg for a lit- tle change. I was enjoying an after din- ner cigar, a cup of blaok oofee and some enchanting mesio in that justly world tamed restaurant, Wilkin's Zeller, when suddenly two banda were pressed over my eyes from -behind and a volae said in solemn, stilted tones, "If I take the wings of the morning and Sy over the uttermost parts of the gels, even there shall I find my blend, the oonsuLL " "William," 1 asked, "have you been aonably $sw rtawellt .-Musgrove Davis in York 8 n.

SATURDAY, JAN. 2d, 18i). LATEST IN FISH NETS. A FRENCH INVENTOR INTRODUCES NEW METHODS OF SEINING. Electricity to Be Employed In Gathering the Harveat of the Sea—How Fiah May Be Captured In Large Quantities and Before They Know It. It has frequently been a subject of comment that the methods in vogue for gathering the "harvest of the Sea" have scarcely changed from century to century. The bone or ivory or wooden fishhooks of the Eskimo or the south sea islanders aro represented, it is true, in our higher civilization by tbo finely pointed metal ones, but this is a refine- ment of manufacture, not an improve- ment in method. It is equally true that their rudely twisted bark nets are only to be compared with the product of our rope walks and twine factories, greatly to the advantage of the latter. This in- dustry, es old as humanity, has, so to say, made but a single step since its birth. They are essentially the same coarse nets and the same hooks that have always been employed for the fish- ing industry that are in use today. It is frequently said, "The aSiti ought to nourish the land," and in view of the doh supplies of food which the sea contains this seems to bo just. On the other hand, the complaints of the fisher- men prove that their calling is fax from lucrative. We hear frequently of re- gions where fish were formerly abundant which at present aro hardly producing anything. What is the cause of this state of things? There may in truth bo many causes, but it is largely due to the crudeness of the methods employed. Fish, show a strong tendency for quit- ting 'file place where nets have been em- ployed, which frighten them, or to avoid returning if they are of migrato- ry habits. On the other hand, the nets and drags often tear up the bottom and dis- turb the spawning beds with the eggs, and sometimes the young. These con- siderations have led a gentleman named Trouve to conc&i-ve a new system of fish- ing, employing some of the methods of modern science and overcoming, as he thinks, some of flap objections to the antiquated methods. Ho claims to have accomplished, among other results the attracting of the fish into his toils and capturing them without frightening them and without much wear and tear on the nets themselves. In his nets, for instance, of a cylindrical shape, the ring forming the bottom has lead siukers fixed to it in the ordinary way, while the upper edge consists of a rubber tube, which is in communication by means of a long flexible rubber pipe with a reservoir in the boat and which is supplied with compressed air by means of ono or more pumps. Instead of being placed in the boat this reservoir can in some cases be arranged on shore or even on a special buoy. Wh-u thrown in the water in the usual way, the rubber tube having been emptied of air, the weight of the net will, of course, take it to the bottom, where it forms a stationary mass of rela- tively small volume, which will not of itself terrify the fish. Having proceeded' to attract the fish -th----the location by methods which we will allude to further on, as soon as there is reason to believe that they have gathered in force a stop- cock is opened, allowing the compressed air from the reservoir to flow into and inflate the tubular ring constituting the upper border of the net. This ring, as a result, augments in volume and forms a rigid mouth for the net, and at a given moment, in accordance with the law of Archimedes, it becomes buoyant and rises to the top of the water, carry- ing the net with it. The important point is that:,,this is accomplished without noise and with- out agitating the water. The fish is not alarmed, and is captured. before he knows it, without making any attempt to escape. The same principle may be applied to stein() nets or purse nets. It is well known and recognized that ffsh, in common with moat terrestrial animals, not excluding "humans," are strongly attracted by anything which glitters. Mr. Trouve bas taken advan- tage of this and has constructed lumi- nous buoys containing Batteries or so- c‘mulators connecting with incandes- cent ]amps. Atattened reflector spreads the light over a wide extent. These buoys are placed with other bait in the nets, and the fish are attracted frima all sides, like moths to a candle, and be- come prey. The next thing is to know when to draw in the net. To employ watchmen is rather primitive, and Mr. Trouve has devised a much better system—at any rate in theory. His idea is to make a sort of scale, consisting of a beam pivot- ed to a stake. This beam has at one end a square net and at the other a tray, in which is placed a weight slightly great- er than that of the square not. Ars ap- propriate mechanism, clockwork or oth- erwise, raises up this tray at regular intervals, say every five or ten minutes, which gives to the beam an oscillatory movement. Every time the beam rises beyond the horirimtal position an elec- trical contact is mado connecting at a distance, on the bank or in the boat, wherever the fisherman is stationed. Whenever there , are no fish in this square net it rises quickly, carried up by the excessive weight at the other end of the beam, and a short interval of ringing shows that the beam bas gone by the horizontal position without stop- ping there, and consequently there are no fish. If, on the contrary, the square net inclosea fish, the excess of weight will no longer be able to carry it up be- yond the horizontal, and the bell will ring continuously. The Heliotrope. The heliotrope is an emblem of devo- tion. This idea was probably suggested by the curious habit presented by this flower of turning its face toward the sun. Moore's poetioal lines about the sunflower turning on her god where he sets the same look that she turned when he rose is not founded on fact. The sun- flower is not a heliotrope and does not turn to face the sun. L EATING HORSE MEAT. A PRACTICE THAT 18 GROWING AND 18 WELL. SUPPORTED. Flesh of the Horse Is Healthful and Said to Be Better For Food Than Pork—The Economic Side of the Question Present- ed In a Forcible Manner. Paris and Vienna cheap restaurants substitute horse meat for other kinds of butchers' meat, as a matter of course. Hitherto even in Paris, where the ad- vantages of horses' meat as a regular item on bills of fare have been known ever eines the siege of Paris, restaurants hesitate to publish the fact that they are serving it to their customers for fear of the popular prejudice. Yet just as oleo- margarine is infinitely better than genu- ine butter of a poor Quality, so ordinary horse meat is better for health and the vor than meat from cattle sold for the use of the poorer olassee. The poorer people abroad learn to live largely 7ithout meat. A driver on a Loudon binnibus, who seemed to be a man of intelligence and thrift, told the writer that he could afford meat only once or twice a week The poorer clams in Berlin and Vienna are forced by the high prices to go without meat. In Paris the custom of using horse meat has made it possible for all the poorer °leases who have to do heavy labor to obtain a suffi- cient amount of nourishing animal food. Horse's meat differs from beef in be- ing slightly coarser in grain and having a slightly richer flavor. Its quality naturally depends on the age of the beast. As a rule, even though it may be tougher, the meat is fax safer to eat than beef. While the herds of cattle each year are producing among them- selves more tuberculous infection, horses have little chance to communicate tu- berculosis or any other disease to one mother, because they are seldom kept closely together. The diet of horses fits them for food purposes even more than cows, and infinitely more than swine or poultry. Tho business of slaughtering horses for their meat is undoubtedly on the in- crease in the United Statea because a large market has opened in Europe for horse meat, especially when it is canned. The Germans are eating it, though un- consciously, in the form of sausage. _An unknown amount cornea back to America as canned meat, and not im- probably forms a staple item of diet in all public or private institutions where feeding by contract is carried on. That this industry will rapidly increase is certain from the fact that horses are be- coming cheaper and more abundant. The farms out west can better afford to feed horses with their grain if they can sell the horses for their meat. The result will be that if horses come largely into the market as a food prod - not the younger horses will be killed off before they are 2 years old to save the expense of longer feeding them. This will do away with the last real reason against the use of horse meat—that only old and feeble horses are used. A great gain will be made in prevent- ing the constant production of lame or feeble horses by drivers. Just as soon as a horse becomes a little past his best strength and speed the owners will sell them off to butchers, just as ordinary cows and oxen are sold. The horse for driving and teaming will be then a much finer animal through a genuine "survival of the fittest " The business troubles in the United States and the increasing number of men without employment are emphasiz- ing the fact that every possible factor must be utilized to make living cheaper and better for the poorer classes. Meat fed labor cannot compete with labor fed on rice or macaroni But meat fed labor accomplishes better work. Few people realize how',rigidly the old Mosaic law, largely discarded even among Jews, holds among the people at large. On account of distinctions made by the laws of Moses between animals clean and unclean many animals, on ac- count of some peculiar arrangement of their feet, have been denied to the use of mankind as food. The one excep- tion is pork, which is perhaps the most unfit for food of all meat ornaccount of the filthy habits and feeding of most swine. Orientals decline to eat camel meat, though this also is finding its way to Paris in larger amounts every year. Many kinds of wild animals and birds arsliked from some similar preju- dice. Carnivorous animals must al- ways be discarded because of their fond- ness for carrion. Horses, however, are the daintiest eaters of the entire animal kingdom. There was a time when horses were so closely associated with man in all work and progress that simple affection for a horse rendered the idea of butch• ering him repugnant But now the era of the horse has passed. The bicycle has replaced the saddle horse, the motor wagon the buggy and stage, and the lack of room in city life has made a horse as a pet no longer practicable. That horses will be exterminated if used for butchers' meat is no more poste tli than that cattle or sheep will be.

A writer in Goodwill says that Tom Mann once accused the clergy of not sympathizing with the poor. Archbish- op Benson, hearing of this, invited him to Lambeth and taxed him with it. Go- ing up to the bookshelf he took down a book and began reading. "This," said the archbishop, "is written by a clergy- man. What do you think of it?" "Oh, that's all right," said Tom Mann. "Who wrote it?" "I did," said the archbishop, somewhat triumphantly, presenting him with the book The book was "Christ and His Times," and the passage which, the archbishop read was from the chapter on "Suffering Populations."

INCIDENTS OF THE FIRST VOYAGE OP FULTON'S STEAMBOAT. • Group of Women Who Made the His- toric TrIp—How the Engagement of the Inventor Was Annonneed—Predlotlotas Made by Chancellor Livingston. Helen Evertaon Smith, in Tho Cen- tury, has a paper on "A Group of Amer- ican Girls Early In the Century," wbich gives pleasant glimpses of Chancellor Livingston aud Robert Fulton. Tho chancellor invited several of his fair cousins :0 make a trip from Now York to his home at Clermont in a new boat. Miss Smith says: The "new. boat" of the letter was the now celebrated Clernnit, the steamboat of Robert Fulton, which in August, 1807, made the first successful keen) voyage up the istonished Hudson and demonstrated to the world that a new force had boon discovered by which old methods in nearly all lines were to be revolutionized. Very likely, with all their loving oonfidence in the wisdom of the chan- cellor, the sisters embarked with souse distrust of his new boat's making good he promise to get them home in less than three days, tenni if both wind and tide should prove tnifavorable, but they were not afraid of anything worse than delay, though most of their friends feared for them. During the nine years that bad passed since "Robert R. Liv- ingston and Robert Fulton had first se- cured the concession to navigate the waters in New York state for 20 rears, providing they should build a boat of not less than 20 tons, that would go not less than four miles an hour against wind and tide," the subject had been so often talked over in their presence that the sisters were already quite intelligent upon it and laughed at tho fears of their timorous friends. Tho embarkation was from a dock "near the state prison" (which was in "Greenwich village," on the North river) and wee witnessed by a crowd cf "not less than 500 persons." Many were friends of the passengers, who bade them farewell with as much solicitude as if they were going to Madagascar, especially trembling with apprehension at the "terrible risk run by sailing in a boat full of fire." The adventurous voyagers, who were the guests of Robert Fulton and Chan- oellor Livingston, were about 40 in num- ber, including but a few ladies. Among the latter, besides our two young sisters and their aunt, Mrs. Tbomas Morris (daughter-in-law of Robert Morris, the financier of the Revolution), wero at least one of the chancellor's two d ugh- ters, four of the many daughters his brothers, John R. and CoitGel Harry,and a young lady who was mote interested in the result of this memorable experi- ment than any ,ono Alive the inventor himself. In all the biographies of Ful- ton Miss Harriet 1,iviugston is called the chancellor's niece, but slie was real- ly hie cousin She was a beautiful, graceful and accomplished womanand bad long given her heart to Robert Ful- ton. The fait Ha7ietWateat this timo about two and twenty and "deeply in love with her handsome, gifted icier as any girl well could bo." There were many distinguished and fine looking men on board the Clermont, but eiy grandmother always described Robert Fulton as surpassing them all. "That son of a Pennsylvania fanner," sho we; wont to say, "was really a prince among men. He was as modest as he was great and as handsome as he was modest. His eyes were glorious with love and genius." A little before reaching Clermont, when the success of the voyage was well ware& the betrothal was announced by the chancellor in a graceful spate!), in the course of which he prophesied that the "name of the inventor would descend to posterity as that of a bene- factor to the world, and that it was not impassible that before the close of the present century vessels might oven be able to make the voyage to Europe with- out other motive power than steam." This hardy prediction was received with but moderate approval by any, while smiles of incredulity were ex- changed between those who were so plaoed that they could not be seen by the speechmaker or the inventor. John R. was heard to say in an aside to his Cone - in, John Swift Livingston, that "Bob had many a bee in his bonnet before now, but this steam folly would prove the worst one yet. " But the chancel lor's brothers lived to see the ocean regular- ly traversed by steam vessels, but the prophet himself and the inventor both passed away before the realizatiou of their dreams.

An observing tourist who +/Wits Rome and walks through the str5eti is doubt- less surprised that there aro very few houses bearing the ominous number 18, nearly all the houses that should bear those figures being marked 12b or 14a. Nor is the superstition re- garding the fateful 18 absent from sci- entific and phlegmatic Germany, for the other day a merchant iu Berlin ap- plied to the magistrate of the district to have the number of his shop changed from No. 18 to No. 12b.

Some Half Forgotten Blta of Its Early' Local History. One of the things that "the Meet in- habitant" will vette ablIto recall with- out referring to his notes. is that Nassau street was originally laidiont as &wagon road by an enterpriaiug Dutchman, who took the soil excavated as compensation for bis labor. It was in 1896 that Cap- tain Tennis Do Kay petitioned the town council for permission to make "a carte - way lea out of the Broad street to the street that rune by the pyo-womans (then Shipp street) loading to the oom- M0119 of this city. " The petitioner agreed to "undertake to doo the mune provided he may have the Boyle." At Quit time the population of the city wee about 6,000 persons, very few of whom resided outside of "the wall," a stone fortification which extended across the lower end of tho island from river to river and from which Wall street took its name. Much has been written and published about this old wall, and most New York- ers are familiar with the origin of the name which the noted financial center now bears. It may bo news to many, however, to learn that the wall was torn down about 1700, and the sound stones were used in the construction of the city hall, on the balcony of which George Washington was inaugurated as the first president of tho Unitad States. In 1782 there was but ono vehicle on Manhattan Islami that bore any resem- blance to a coach. and 40 years after- ward there were only half a dozen coach- es. There were several chaises, but carts were the common conveyance. In 1772, according to authentic 'local history, there were five private coaches in 1186 here. One belonged to the governor, one to Lieutenant Governor Cadwallader Colden, one to William Walton, ono to Mr. Murray, for whom Murray street was named, and the fifth was the prop- erty of Mrs, Alexander. Carpets were unknown iu New York at this period, for "all the houses were sanded with white or silver sand in lignres and de- vices." Tho first boss that New York ever had was William Walton, who erected the famous Walton mansion in Pearl street in 1754. The title was bestowed upon him not because of his political influence, but solely because of his pre- eniineore in husinvsa and in society. The appellation clung to Merchant Walton until his death and was buried with him for the time being. The sump- tuousness of Boss Walton's entertain- ments, especially those given to British army officers, led to a false estimate in England of the wealth of tbo people of New York and practically nullified the remonstrances sent by the colonies to tbe British parlianient against the historic stamp act and the duties on teas. The custom of advertising for wives was introduced In this city about 1882, and it aroused the ire of Nathaniel P. Willis, who was then ono of the editors of the NOW York Mirror. He denounced it as an indecent practice and said, "Depend upon it, such public courtships aro tendered only by old bachelors, de- cayed rakes and other discarded single gentlemen, who would make but little „progress in personally presenting the commeudable qBalities of which they allege themselves to bo possessed." It was in the &limner of 1832 that the first severe cholera epidemic swept the island. Within three weeks the city was more than half depopulated by flight and death. All places of amusement and many of the stores were closed. Several physicians; fled to the country, and for many days the terrifying gloom of a graveyard hung over the city. ,Entire families in the full enjoyment of health one day were buried the next. This direful period caused an effective public agitation in favor of a system of pure water supply and better sewerage.— New York Times. Lincoln With the Ax. During President Lincoln's second visit to Richmond after its capture and ouly is few days prict to his melancholy assassination be paused at City Point to visit to Union hospitals, which were very much crowd; d, and contained some 5,000 patients. He stood for a few min- utes near ono of tho wood piles, where ono of the detailed men was busily en- gaged in chopping wood. Asking the man to lend him the ax for a moment, the president proceeded in tho most scientific manner to chop off about a foot from the end of a good sized log, swinging the ax around in a powerful msnner,wltich would hardly be expected in a man of his sedentary habits. Smil- ing pleasantly, he handed the ax back to its owner, thanking him for its use, and the latter, who had looked on approv- ingly duriug the performance, said: "You have chopped wood before, air, I see?" "Oh, yes!" responded the president. "I've chopped a good deal of wood in my time, my mine" When the soldier found out who the woodchopper was and whose service he had commended, he was very much as- tonished and vowed that he would keep tbe precious ax as ono of his choioest possessions as long as he should live. The ax became quite a celebrated imple- ment in the hospitals at City Point, and the soldier was offered largo sums of money for it. These offers, however, be indignantly refused and took it home ' with him, where it is doubtless treasured to this day as ono of the brightest jewels of his house. Birds' Calls. There ate many birds of which the male and female have the same call, such as the raven, the rook, the New Zealand parson bird and tbo gull, and to the highly oultivatod musical ear a difference in pitch may be peroeived which would esoitpe the ordinary ob- server. With the true songsters there is little differonoo iu the vooal organs of the two sexes, although the males of most species sing better and more con- tinuously than the female& Not a Success. "Then Miss Newloigh didn't make a suocess as a platform speaker?" "Success? I should say not. Got knocked out on her very first speech." "What was the matter?" "Leek of common sense.

It's easy to bo a well dressed man nowadays. It one saves up his old clothes until he accumulates a few snits and then follows the example of his rich friends here, he will soon find out how they pose as howling swells at oomparatively little outlay. It posts only $25 a year to look like a man who owns a valet, providing one has the oostumes Io start on. In a skyseraping structure a suit of sumptuous offices is occupied by the clarion' staff of a concern whio1 is engaged in keeping the clothes of some of our worthiest and most influen- tial citizens in repair. A large factory down town, employing a small array of scourers, pressers and menders, is kept in constant operation, and the wagons of the company may bo seen daily cov- ering regular routes in the best parte of the city. So sensitive aro the patrons of the concern, however, lost their econom- ical proolivities become known to neigh- bors that nothing more than the ambig- uous title of the firm is painted on the vehicle. A lady with a pronounced French ac- cent manages this part of the business. From her it was learned that a yearly subscription fee of $26, payable in ad- vance, entitles any ordinary American citizen to membership in this concern, by means of which his clothes at least can jostle up against those of the Four Hundred. On paying the fee the mem- bers are entitled to all the services re- quired to keep their wardrobe in repair and presentable condition. The chests are allotted to him, upon wbich his name and address are printed' Ono of these remains at his home, while the other is at the factory. Wagons call at the houses of patrons of the company twice a week, if necessary and oollect the °lobes which have been placed in the chest, at the same time leaving a chest full of clothes, carefully mended and pressed ready for wear. Ono young man who has boon a patron of the novel establishment for some timo says that it works like a charm, and his apparel bears out his statement. Of course the tailors, the old clothes gatherers and the servants who have strutted in the cast off garments of their masters don't like the innovation, but It is a necessity of the times. Keeping up appearance is a great business here, and this new clothes fixing edheme is a regular boon to lots of men who travel on shape and style. —New York Letter in Pittsburg Dis- patch. BIRDS OF ILL NATURE. The Cruelty of Swain as Displayed Toward Other Fowls. Among those birds which stay at home, especially the most domesticated, there is often an exhibition of unkind- ness seemingly unaceountable, says Writer in The Cornhill Magazine. The graceful swan, o. g., is ono of the most ungracious in its ways. Not only (ir the breeding season) does a male bird resent the intrusion of a strange gentle- man, but it will spend the day in driv- ing off from its domain any unlucky geese, which might bo plainly assumed to have no designs upon its domestic, ar- ireageasents and bare, *intend, Liu Madre beyond that for a comfortable wash and swim. It will also punnet even the most innocent of newborn dueklings while they unwittingly rejoice in an early taste of their common element. When an onlychild has passed out of the cygnet stage of lite and grown to full physical if not mental maturity, father and mother swans have been known to fall upon and deliberately beat it to death with wing and beak. The gratified parents swans gracefully about the mere in which they lived, while the groat white oorpse of their son lay, battered and dead, upon the shore. The following year, after another had been bo4usto them and in infaucy carried upon his mother's back, they be- gan to treat him ao roughly that, not be- ing pinioned like them, ho wisely flow OWIty and we saw him no more. Curi- ously enough, .geese which have experi- enced rudeness from swans in the lusty vring have been known to retaliate in the oalmer autumn, whorl the fierceness of their enemy had become mitigated. I have oemi a gander leap upon the back of a once arrogant swan and pound away at it in the full enjoyment of gratified revenge. — San Francisco Chronicle. Thermometers. At times of severe frost many per- sons not skilled in the usoof thermom- eters report remarkably low tempera- tures. These are often due to the tber- imometric liquid having partly evaporat- ed from the main oolumn and condensed at the end of the tube farthest from the bulb, the thermometer then reading just M many degrees too low as there are degrees of spirit at the top of the tube. Good thermometers aro just as liable to Ibia error as oommon ones, and there. fore every one using a spirit minimum thermometer must boon the alert. Gen- erally the owner can restore the ther- mometer without sending it back to the maker. Grasp the thermometer firmly, resting e finger on the tubes° that there be no vibration, and, holding the bulb downward, give several strong, pendu- lous swings. Tbis will usually semi the spirits from the top and pond tho index into the bulb. Stand the thermometer bulb downward for an hour, then re- verse it and very gently shako the in- dex out of the bulb and let it elide to the end of tbe oolumn, when the ther- mometer will be as good as now. —New York Ledger.

Among the Anglo-Saxons the bride" - groom gave a pledge or "wed" at the, betrothal ceremony. This "wed" eluded a ring, which was placed on the maiden's right hand, where it remained until, at the inarriasi it *as transfer- red to the left. English women at one time wore the wedding ring on tbo thumb. Many portraits of ladies in Queen Elizabeth's days aro so depicted. In the reign of George III brides usually removed the ring from its proper abid- ing place to the thumb as soon as the ceremony was over. In Spain the gift of a ring is looked upon as' a promise of marriage and is considered sufficient proof for a maiden to claim her hus- band. It is a custom to pass little pieces of bride's cake through tho wedding ring, and those to whom these pieces are given place them under their pillows at night to dream of their lovers. These "dreamers," as they aro called, should Inc drawn niue times through the ring. Many brides, however, are so supersti- tious that neither for thiit purpose nor at any other time will they take the ring off their finger after it has once been placed there. —Philadelphia Times. Each Man's Share of the Globe. There is no immediate prospect that the landed surface of the globe will be divided up and allotted in equal shares to each of its human inhabitants, but if such a time ever does come it will be found that each will get a little truck farm of 231. acres. The landed surface of the globe contains, as near as it is possible for the geographers to ascer- tain, 33,600,000,000 acres, which, di- vided among the 1,500,000,000 inhabit- ants which the world coutains, word- ing to the latest official estimates, would give each of them a tract of land of.the area mentioned above. Taking the entire, population of the world into consideration there are al- most exactly 28 inhabitants to each square mile. The following figures showing the number of persons, omit- ting fractions, to a square mile in the several divisions of the globe are from the best authorities on human family statistics: Europe, 88; Asia, 46; Africa, 18; North America, 9; South America, 4; Oceanioa and the polar regions, 2.— St. Lonis Renublic.

He meant to tell her so, and the moment for doinl so had come. The fluffy golden head was very near, a few words bad been spoken, when the door opened and Ella Stanton entered. A frown clouded the brow of Dr. Ralph Stanton, the eminent young phy- sician who everybody declared would make his fortune in his profession, and pretty Nellie Saville escaped, glad to hide her flashed cheeks from her cous- in's jealous eyes. Mrs. Stanton threw herself languidly into the depths of an easy chair. "So I have found you at last, my dear Ralph. I have been seeking you for the last hour." He hated this woman in spits of her dark, witching beauty. , His uncle had found that beauty irresistible and by a late marriage robbed his nephew of the quarter of a million which ho had taught him to expect would one day be his. "What did you want with me?" he asked curtly. "Yon are cross. I wanted your soci- ety—nothing more. Is there anything strange in that?" "Most flattering of you, my dear aunt, I am sure." It was Mrs. Stanton's turn to frown. "Don't call me by that hateful name. If I did marry your uncle, you might re- member that I am not yet 25. By the way, Nellie Saville quits the teens next week." "Indeed!" Yes. Charming girl, isn't she? Really, Ralph, if yon should see the dis- mal hole of a parsonage wbere'that girl's parents live you -would feel grateful to me for my compassionate generosity in taking her from it for a li.tle while. Are you going to Lady Campbell's this afternoon, Ralph?" "No. I detest tea and tennis." "So do I. Besides, I hate a headache. Will yon prescribe for me?'1 After the majority of Mrs. Oakbrook's guests had departed for Campbell House Dr. Stanton was pacing the lawn with Sir John Dobby, smoking cigarettes and talking politics, and indoors bis relative occupied a velvet lounge and tried to read the last new novel. He came to hor at last, but it was with a serious face and an open telegram lu his band. "My sister has met with an accideut. Levison wants me to go at once." "Oh, Ralph! Is it serious? You will return here?" "I think not," be returned, replying to the latter question. "You will come to Melton Willows at Christmas, Ralph?" "I really cannot promise. Goodby!" She sat there until the sound of the horse's hoofs had died away. Then she crossed the room and looked at the notes he bad written. One was for his hostess —apology and explanation, of • course— but the other was for Miss Saville. A moment's hesitation; then she toro it open. DEA. Moss SAVILLE—Before you see this yon will know the reason of my sudden departure. Sot I cannot wait until our next meeting for the answer to the question 1 should have asked you this morning if Mrs. Stanton's entrance had not prevented me from doing so. I want you to be my wife, Nellie; my loved and bon Dred wife. Will you? Writs yes or no soon to your loving but impatient RALPH. A small fire burned in the grate. She put the letter into her pocket and burned the envelope. • • * -. • * "Dear Ralph," murmured the lady. "I want you to write to him for me, Nellie.. He promised to let me know how his sister was, but I suppose he has not had time. He does not know your handwriting, I think." Very soon Ella Stanton had dictated a gushing, affectionate letter, and with blan:hing cheeks Nellie had written it. "Don't close it now, Nellie. Throw it' aside. There is only one other that peed be written now." "What is it?" Nellie asked a trifle wearily. "Why, you know, dear, Mr. Graham wants me to open tbe Brixton bazaar, but I really 'ion't feel equal to tho task. I must wri.e CO decline. But he always laughs at nerves, and I do so hate being laughed at."

Yon will Sign it, of course?" "No, dear. Do it for me—only ini- tials. How singular that they should be /en alike, is it not—Ella Stanton and Elinor Saville? There, now, dear, just run up stairs and see if Louise has mendod,lhat lace I tors last night." - A moment more, and Ralph Stanton's simple, Honest letter lay open before her. Jeal.lesy had quickened her mem- • Cry. She lfnew it by heart. Befoldittg it, she inclosed it with that Other in apt envelope addressed in Nel- lie'■ pretit, graceful, caligraph to "Ralph Stanton, Esq.," and sealed it carefully. It was necessary to destroy the missive originally intended for Ralph and to dito anothisr one to Mr. Graham if die- angry wad' to be avoided. Two years later Dr. Stanton was jour- neying northward. The London season was over, and the famous physician had been on the point of starting for his hol- iday—when be was summoned by tele- gram to Sir Christopher Knott, a wealthy patient brimming over with gout and crotchets. Thinking? 4t was dreaming—dream- ing of a slim, petite figure and fluffy golden hair and gloriously blue eyes! Yes, thobgh she had refused him ho loved hor still. Her home was at Grim - atone. Would he see her? What folly t Doubt- less she wits married, and, if not, had she not told him in the cruel little let- ter, which was even now in the breast pocket of his coat, that it could never be? . "Grimetone! Grimstone!" shouted a 'starter, and so his reflections Game to an ebd, but only to awaken into lively in- terest. From a second class carriage a girl alighted --a girl in a neat little hat and gray dust cloak. Underneath that hat was a piquant jittle face and a clus- tering fringe of fluffy gold -n curls. Nellie was alone in the d.awing room. Suitors had wooed in vain. She was the orthodox clergyman's daughter, with Ler duties to perform as they rose fresh each day, and iu the past; a nameless disappoiutment. Her thoughts had turned on that visit to Oakbrook two years ago, when the waiting plaid brought in a card—"Dr. Stanton." "This is, indeed, a pleasant surprise," she said with a rosy flush that told its own story. "I am sorry mamma is not at home." "I am staying in the neighborhood professionally and could not leave with- out calling on you. It is the privy 4o of frienclhip, and you desired that we continuo friends" Nellie looked puzzled. "I do not un- derstand you. What d you mean?" "I beg your pardon for the allusion, Miss Saville, but you cannot have for- gotten? The welds were in you, letter— e letter I 0av5 kept because y wrote it, in spite of its contents." "Indeed, you are under a mistake. I never wrote to yon in my life." "Tht'u you never wrote this or re- ceived this?" And he placed in her hand tbo two unfortunate letters. When the primroses looked like stars in the Brass and the air was filled with the odor of viols , a weddiug took place at Grimstone ch rch. Aud three months later n society jrburnal announced that Mrs. Stanton, widow of the late George Stanton, Esq., of Melton Willows, Berks, bad bestowed heart and hand upon Count Horenza, au impecunious Italian nobleman.—Odds and Ends. A Ranchman's Luck. A story is told about a panther that was trapped by Lu::e Anderson, who has a small ranch in the Smut Creek valley of the Big Horu mountains. Smut creek is a small stream about five miles long, flowing through the ranch from a series of springs up among the mountains. Near one of these springs Luke set his trap, a big steel affair weighing 17 pounds and usually used for big bears. Luke thought that panthers were stealing his sheep, and that they lived somewhere among the thiokets abon the headwaters of the creek. He wen to the trap on four successive days, but found that nothing had disturbed it. He skipped the fifth day. On the sixth day, when be appr !ied the trap from down stream, he I. r:i a groaning sound and the r - of leaves. He peered over r; .1 the place he had set his trap. The place had been disturbed some- what. Every small bush within five yards was torn up by the roots. A dead, rotten log that had served as a side of the trap pen was torn and scattered about in fragments. Tho ground itself had been ripped up and plowed clear to the bed rte's two feet beneath. No trap or beast was in sight. Luke looked about quickly. He could hoar tho groans, and they sounded uncomfortably close. On the far side of the -rook behind which he was Luke saw the tips of the ears of an animal. Luka slid out of that quickly. He backed away with rifle cockgd and made a detour of several rods. Then, to his : - rrise, ho saw, not one, but two pan,' Ono of the two had its leg in the t..,,. Tho other was beside it, licking down the trapped one's neck tenderly, as an old cat licks a kit- ten. The wounded one was groaning. Luke shot the untrapped one and then killed the other. He found that the trapped animal was a male, with an ugly face. The other was a sleek coated female. The Russian Crown. The crown used by the Russian czar resembles the dome formed patriarchal miter, which was a favorite shape among the Byzantines. Updn the sum- mit appears a cross formed of five beau- tiful diamonds, which is also supported by a large spinel ruby, polished, but not faceted. This ruby and cross aro supported by a foliated arch composed of 11 great diamonds and rising from the back and front of the base of the crown. On either side of this central arch is attached a hoop formed of 38 large and perfect pearls. The spaces on either lido of these arches are filled with leafwork and ornaments in silver, incrusted with diamonds, underlaid with the richest purple velvet. Tbe band which forms the baso of the crown is of gold and is ornamented with 28 magnificent diamonds. Why He Felt Bad.. "Good morning, Jasper 1 I am very Sony to hear of your domestio trouble."

Nobody may shoot an elephant, says the London Telegraph, on the Anna- mulle or Tipperah hillier anywhere else throughout India and Ceylon without permission unless it be a "rogue," or plainly dangerous and destruotive. The capture of the wild elephant and his careful training are things carried out under au admirable and sole thio system, which gives to the -administra- tion in all its branches and to the native oourts a superb staff of massive and faithful servants, the commissariat and artillery elephant& Although they will seldom or never breed in captivity, the grand oreaturem are easy to keep and manage, invaluable for many special purposes, and at their demise whatever tusks they may carry go to tbo world's stook of ivory. Tho older it is the better generally its quality. But, in any case, how senseless it seems to ex- tirpate the living source of this beauti- ful commodity, as the reckless hunters and ignorant Dative chiefs and mer- chants are still allowed to do in central Afrioa I When shall we nee the govern- ments of these various regions sensible enough to peroeive and proclaim that live elephants are very much more valu- able even commercially than dead ones, and that the preservation of these state- ly and aerivoeable animal shall be henceforward a fixed policy f Afrioan benefit? It has been truly remarked, that di- rectly the native and foreign hunters are convinoed that= one live elephant is worth dozens of tasks they will be as keen to preserve the animal ass they now are to exterminate him. We might plead earnestly, even upon the ground of es- theticism and natural science, for the protection in future of the noble beast, whose majesty and tranquillity of mien so well become bis silent haunts and philosophic, harmless existence. The ears of those, however, who massacre the innocent giant to eat from him 90 or 80 pounds of material for paper knives and shoe horns would be oloeed to meth remonstra>ices. The bust hope of all who understan the value of the el- ephant for Africa s that even the most ruthless of his no may come to learn that they are destroying their own market& The rest is for official authori- ties to do. But certain it is that if de- cided measures be not promptly taken there will be no elephants to save and, we shall see in another oontinent the shameful human sin and folly trated which has stripped America of every free living vestige of her noble droves of bison. THE TIPPING QUESTION. How It Is Practiced at Home and Abroad and the Need For a Reform. The question of "tipping" rooms small enough in detail, but rather im- portant when exaggerated. A woman who spent last winter in one of the most sumptuous of New York hotels says she invariably gave a quar- ter to her whiter at breakfast and l inoh- eon, those being meals taken alone. At dinner time she was joined by her hus- band, who always handed the servitor 60 cent& The latter sum seemed to evenly fill the man's idea of what was due him, and his "Thank you, sir!" was bland and gracious, but the lady's 'modest quarters always found their grave to the black waistcoat pocket, with no ex- pression of gratitude from the recipi- ent's face, which wore a meaning look, as of one who says, "Women are mean, an never knows 'ow to do the right thing by a man, but one 'as to put np with 'em." It is only in reckless, good natured America that optional fees ere_so ranch larger than they ought to be. A dollar, which is a common enough sum for a man to give at dinner in a fashionable restaurant, would make a French wait- er stars, although ho would have the presence of mind to pocket it quickly: In Paris there is an unwritten scale which apportions 6 per cent on the., amount of a customer's bill as a tip. Thus a person ordering a dinneF= that costs $2 would, on settling bis bill, add 10 cents for the attendant. It is time we had either a legal or in- formal rule governing tips in this oonn- try, and It is to be hoped that some riob persons will help on the reform. It will never be done by those whose moans aro really small enough to feel the tax, for it is one of the errors of the impecunious to feel obliged to show as much liberality as a millionaire, even if, like the guest in "Charley's .Aunt," he has to borrow half a dollar from the butler with which to tip him.—Illus- trated American. Grant's Crude Breakfast. It was just before the battle of the Wilderness. The members of the bead - quarters mess assembled to partake of a hasty breakfast. The general made rath- er a singular meal preparatory to so ex- hausting a day as that whioh was to follow. He took a cucumber, sliced it, poured some vinegar over it and partook of nothing else except a oup of strong coffee. The first thing he did after ris- ing from the table was to call for a fresh supply of cigars. His colored servant Bill brought him two dozen. After lighting one of them he filled his pock- ets with tho rest. He then went over to the knoll and began to walk back and forth slowly upon the cleared portion of the ridge. --General Horae Porter id Century.

Phrasemaking two or three generstiorls ago played an important part in French politics. Louis XIV had a literary prompter who used to prime him with phrases and plan for him scenes such as would excite the people's admiration. "Your majesty will soon be going to the races," said this prompter one day. "Yon will and a notary entering the bets of two princes of the blood. When yon see him, sire, make the remark: 'What is the use of this man? Ought there to be written oontraota between gentlemen? Their word should be enough.' " The soene name off—the prompter saw to that—and the courtiers exolaimed: "What a happy thought! How kingly! That is his style." Another scene, more likely to impress the populace, was planned by this prompter. A sledging pleasure party was arranged for the king. Just as it was about to start several carte passed by, tarrying wood to the poor of Paris. "These aro my sledges," said Louis, pointing to the loaded carte, and he de- clined to join the party. Talleyrand coined for Louis %VIII the remark which he was reported to have used on the day ho catered Paris: "There is nothing changed ; ouly a Frenob ian the more in Paris." As a matter of fact, the king did not trouble himself to utter the phrase, but Taileyrand inserted it in the journals of the day that the people might flatter themselves that their kitig bad forgotten the past, and consequently there would be no change. Perhaps the most striking phrase ut- tered by a modern king was spoken by King Humbert a few years ago, when the cholera was raging in Naples. He bad been invited by the municipality of Genoa to a banquet, which lin declined in these words: "Men are feasting atGeuoa; men are dying at Naples I go to Naples. "— Youth's Companion. Werth More Dead. Sir Wemyss Reid tells a story redo- lent of a grim ehrowdnesscharacteristic, of canny Novoeastrians. "Thera was a worthy, long since forgotten, in my time who was a prototype of Rogue Ri- derbood in 'Our Mutual Friend.' He was known as Cuckoo Jack, and he lived upon the Tyne in a well patched old boat, picking up any trifle that came his way from a derelict to a corpse. One day an elderly and most estimable Quaker of Newcastle, in stepping from a river steamboat to the quay, slipped and fell into the stream. Cuckoo Jaok was at hand with his boat and quickly rescued the WWtlrless Friend and landed him dripping on the quay. The good man drew half a crown from his pocket and solemnly handed it to bis preserver. Jack eyed the coin for a moment with a lack luster gaze, spat upon it solemnly 'for lack' and, having placed it safely in hit pocket, said iu a matter of fact tone to the soaked Quaker, "Mau, ah'd bey gotten 5 silillin for takin ye to the deadhoose.'

The annual "lion sermon," preached In the Church of St. Katharine Croe, Leadenhall street, London, has been preached annually in the same church for 261 year& Iia origin is due to one Sir John Gayer, a former lord mayor of London, who, traveling in a wild part of Asia far in advance of his at- tendants, suddenly found himself alone and face to face with a lion. Being a pions man, Sir John fell on his knees and prayed God to protect him in hie hour of need. The prayer was answered, for on rising Sir John saw the animal walking away. Considering his escape miraculous, on his return to London Sir John set aside a fund from the interest of which gitts were to be purchased for distribation to tho poor ou each succeed- ing anniversary and a sermon be preach- ed to tell future generations how God beard his prayer and delivered him from the month of the lion.

Tho editor of Thierfreu relates the following,story of his own personal ez- perionoe of the sagacity of military botsee. In the year 1872, daring a akir wish witb the Sioux Indians, "tbo Third cavalry regiment had formed an encampment in a valley on the eouthem border of Dakota. At nightfall the borses were tethered by a long line to the ground. Toward daybreak a violent storm of rain and hail burst over the valley. The terrified animals broke looeo from their fastening, and in their fright torn away d -p the steep aides of the val- ley into the territory of the enemy. Without horses, at the mercy of the en- emy, we should be lost. Yet it was im- possible, in the half darkness, to go after them into as unknown country, probably full of Indiana. Tho captain, as a last resource, ordered the stable call to be sounded. In a few minutes every horse had returned to the encamp- ment, and we were saved." A gentleman who was a finished ma- aloian resided some years ago at Darm- stadt and kept .dog, which was the ter- ror of all the singers and inetramental- lets in the plaos, for it had the fatal habit of raising its face to heaven and bowling whenever a false nota was emitted. It never made a mistake, and well known singers were said to tremble when they saw their unwelcome judge, seated by his master's side, at concerts or at the opera, for Max was a regular first nighter and a great friend of the theater director. He waa never known to miss a new opera. Max was no re- specter of persons, and when the sing- ing was but a ebsde out he would at- tract the attention of the whole audi- ence to it with a terrific howl. One tenor went so far as to refuse to sing unless the dog was removed, but Max was so great a favorite with the Darmstadt public and Ruch s well known frequent- er that the singer might as well have requested to have the direo himself removed from the stall& and be was Obliged to give is with M go=ld a grape r possible. The dog's minae stated that he had trained him when he was quite a puppy, and by the time be was 8 years old the dog was as good a judge as his master of a false note.—Boston Transcript. The Irish Potato Not Irish. "The peculiarity of the Irish potato, so called, is in the fact that it is not Irish," observed one of the potato ex- perts of the agricultural department. "The potato originally grew wild in the fields of Chile, Peru and Mexioo. Sir John Hawkins did not take it to Ireland until 1686. Sir Francis Drake took it to England 20 years afterward. It did better, however, in Ireland than anywhere else and got its name, no doubt, because of its early and extensive cultivation in Ireland. Botanioally it was originally known as the Batata vir- giniana, bot in after years it was prop- erly identified and olaasined u the So- lanum tuberorum. As the winter stock L now being laid in, it may be well for the inezperienoed to be able to select good potatoes. "Out the raw potato in two and rub the halves together. If the moisture on rubbing is soft and liquid enough to drop, the potato will be soggy and set when cooked. Rub the halves briskly around on each other. A potato that will be dry and mealy when 000ked will give out a good, rich froth, while a poor one will show onlya watery froth by the same action. he pietas will stink together if the potato is a good one. Of oourse the whole thing is to test the amount of starch in the potato, for the more starch the better the potato. If, however, a person intends to ley in a very large supply, the best plan. of course, is to 000k them, and there will be no chance of a mistake."—Washing- ton Star. A Splendid Crews.

How mach labor would have been saved had we poeseseed the autographs of four evangelist.!

Main Fowls. Plonking fowls may be easily and quickly accomplished in this way: As soon u the bird is dead immerse it in a pail of very bot water, the water to cov- es all the feathers. One minute is usu- ally long enough to keep the fowl under bot water. Too long soaking is liable to discolor the akin. After Ibis bot bath the feathers are so loosened that tbey oan be almost rubbed off. The bird is then rinsed in cold water and wiped with a soft doth. It should then beput into a ootton bag kept for this purpose and hung in a cool place. When fowls are not to be used at once, they should Uways be loosely rolled in cloth or pa. per to keep them from turning dark. Duoks cannot be managed in this way, as their feather, contain ao much oil that the water does not penetrsie them. -,New York San. t its Faros Sympathising Friend...Wbere were; the remains of your late husband in- terred?

The danger of spontaneous combustion being great mads it unwise 10 put it in a barn, as the advent of fire only made the loss that much greater, Covering it with tarpaulins and leaving it in the field bass long been tbe accepted method, although Imre to cause some loam on account of rain producing mold on the top of the stack. But it was the best known and the loss less than the loss of a barn and possibly several head of stock. The method adopted by the ranchers of Alameda county istoconstruct a sort of framework of scantlings and cover it with thin canva& This method keeps the canvas some distance from the hay, and at the same time sheds the water as' well as the roof of a barn. It also has the advantage of being cheap.

Only the trees and the strange looking haystacks, shap- ed exactly like the great pyramids, aro to be seen. They are scattered all over the fields and large enough to dwarf most of the other objects in the landscape. Sonia of these stacks are at least 40 feet high, and few less than 80. The sm;ill oaks and young eucalyptus trees help out the il- lusion. In the early evening, when there is just light enough to make out the dit ferent objects, the effect shows to the best advantage. The canvas ceases to bo canvas and becomesetone. Tbediffereut pyramids seem to rise to twice their real size.

Bow Population Iia. Moved Westward. Nothing illustrates the marvelous growth of our country more graphically than the rapid yet steady pace which the center of population in the United States has made in its westward march. In 1790, the, time of taking 'the first census, the center of population was 23 miles east of Baltimore, in the upper end of Chesapeake bay. Between that time and 1800 it moved 41 miles, or to a spot 18 miles directly west of Balti- more. During the decade which ended with 1810 the westward mdeement was not eo rapid, being only 36 miles, which located the center of population at that time 40 miles northwest by west of Washington. Between 1810 and 1820 it made marvelous strides, lauding 16 miles north of Woodstock, Va, which was 50 miles from the spot occupied by the center iso -1810. During the dec- ade which ended with 1830 it moved only 89 miles, this taking it to a spot 19 miles west southwest of Moresf= "1 W. Va. By 1840 it had moved west bs south a dietanoe of 55 miles, or to a place 16 miles south of Clarksville, Va. Between 1840 and l RSO anotb'' _.+".` move of 55 miles was made, and the census report of the latter year informed the carious reader that "the center of population is now 23 miles southeast of Parkersburg," which is now in the state of West Virginia. When the census of 1860 was taken, it was found that the center of popula- tion was at a spot in the middle of the Scioto river, 20 miles south of Chilli- cothe, O. In 1870 it was still in Ohio, but had climbed out of the river and moved to a spot 48 miles east by north from Cincinnati. Between 1870 and 1880 the center of population passed -al• most directly through Cincinnati, mov- ing west by south, and when the census was taken in the latter year it was lo- cated eight miles -southwest of the city above named. Between 1880 and 1890 it moved into the Hoosier State and was found, when the last decennial census etas taken, to bo 20 miles east of Colum - btu, Ind.—St. Louis Republic. t! 1 r How the Greco -Egyptians Painted. The remarkable series of portraits found in Egypt are described in The Monthly Illustrator and the method, the old artists employed: . The methods of these ancient dicys were totally different from those of the present day and were evidently vastly more durable. Panels of wood were used to paint on -sycamore and cypress—also panels or papier macbe, and occasional- ly they were formed by glairig three thicknesses of canvas together. These panels were usually about 14 inches long by 7 ruches wide. The artist need liquid wax instead of oil to mix the colors, Which were made, not from vegetable, but from mineral substances, and were of marvelous brilliancy and permanence -rblue powdered lapis lazuli, groeu malachite, red oxide of iron, etc+_ The colors were laid on in patches, some- ewhat after the fashion of a mosaic, and afterward blended with an instrument oalled the oestrum, which uplx'ars to bsve been a lancet shaped spatula, long handled, with at one end a curved point, at the other a finely den Gated edge. With the toothed edge the wax could be equal- ised and smoothed, while the point was used for placing high lights, marking lips, eyebrows, etc. The final process, which gives the name encaustic to this kind of painting, was the burning in of the colors. This was done by the application of a heated endue to the panel, though George Ebert believes tbat'in Egypt the heat of the sun was probably all that was need- ed to oomplete the artist's work.

IRVING TODD & SON. SATURDAY. JAN. Oth, 189. SECOND N;DI'['ION. The recent supensions of the Bank of Minnesota, St. Paul, and the Union Stockyards Bank of South St. Paul, followed closely by the Scandia, the Columbia, the Washington, and the Bankers' Exchange, of Minneapolis, created much alarm and distrust among depositors, which culminated on Monday in the closing of the Ger- mania, the Allemannia, and the West Side Bank, in St. Paul, and runs upon the savings institutions. In addition to private funds there is a large amount of state, county, and city' money tied up, to the great inconven- ience of the general business public. A majority of these hanks will un- doubtedly be reorganized in due time, the loss falling principally upon the stockholders, and no more closing of doors is anticipated for the present at least. • Gov. Clough has reappointed N. C. Kingsley, of Austin, as iailroad com- missioner, and L. G. Powers, of St. Paul, as labor commissioner. John Coleman, of Anoka, succeeds T. D. O'Brien, of St. Paul, as trustee for the insane hospitals. The latter designation is in direct line with the previous efforts of the state adminis- tration to control the location of the fourtk institution. Gov. Clough has appointed G. L. Bunn, of St. Paul, as judge in the second district to till the vacancy caused by the death of Judge C. D. Kerr. He is a democrat, and said to be backed by J. J. Hill. This is an excellent plan to retain Ramsey as a republican county. The state farmers' alliance met in Bt. Paul on Wednesday, with a small attendance, and voted to consolidate with the national alliance. It -had outlived its usefulness, provided it ever really had -any.

Schuttinger. proprietor of the Bazar department store at Stillwater, has made an assignment to Charles Conhaim. Louis Balser, the Mankato wife murderer, has been sentenced to state prison for life. The Fourth Hospital Tangle. The report of the minority in the fourth hospital matter is that it most emphatically dissents from the ma- jority report of the commission, for the reason that the site selected is wholly 'inadequate and unsuitable as a site for the proposed institution. In the opinion of the minority there are several sites superior to the one selected. They think the latter the worst that could have been tan. with one or two exceptions. They claim that tie hospital was once unani- mously decided to be located at Hast- ings, and no satisfat*tory reason has ever been given, or pretended to be given, for the change of base. The minority claims it is its duty to conserve the wishes and best interests of the people, and petitions the legis- lature to investigate, either by the appointment of a large committee or as it thinks best. They claim they would be slow to make the request had not the commission once decided upon Hastings as the site. That chgeTe was made after personal visits to the various sites, and was treated as a final determination after discus- sion. At the meeting held in Minneapolis, Dec. 22d, Commissioner Smith moved to transfer the minutes of the com- mission to the legislature, but it was defeated by' a vote of four to three. Those voting in the negative were: Messrs. Eastman» Block, Merriman, and Hoper. > The minority declares that it is making no appeal for Hastings, for /4 the question has passed beyond local interest. They believe that the site selected is a most undesirable one, and if the members of the legislature will see to it that the site is even casually glanced at, it will refuse to permit.anf money to be expended on the property.—Sl.

It was really a red house, but it acted upon the squire's irascible temperament like the red rag of the proverb, and he never caught sight of it without flushing angrily and bursting forth into a volley of furious epithets against its owner. If the builder had only chosen a site at the north, where the red house would have been hidden behind the plantation of oaks and beeches, Squire Turnbull would have good naturedly sold biro apiece of laud fora mere song. But that he should have planted his ugly, staring, modern villa exactly iu front of the squire's windows, inter- rupting his favorite view of the south downs and .the sea, was au unbearable piece of impertinence. But this land at the south did not belong to the squire, and his rage was ineffectual. Now, Mabel Turnbull, the squire's only -daughter, a lovely girl of 1.i,i, was interested in the young doctor, wlwas both owner and inhabitant of t e red house. This was not only been se ho was handsome and had quickly won a reputation for cleverness in tho neigh- borhood, but because she had once come upon him in a country lane, and, unseen herself, she had watched him bind up the knee of a little village girl who had fallen andcut herself. He took the greatest pains over the simple dressing, using his own handkerchief as a band- age, and when ho further comforted his little patient with a bright silver six- pence and a kiss Mabel Turnbull came to the conclusion that Dr. Gerard Mas- sey was a man worth knowing. Bat she could not bring her father to her way of thinking. The red house was an in- tolerable obstruction to Squire Turn - ball's cherished view of the south downs and the sea. Dr. Massey owned the red house and li'si d iu it; therefore Dr. Massey was not te.be tolerated. It was not often that the two men en- countered each other, and after their first meetjnithey passed without notice. On that first occasion Dr. Massey had lifted his hat, but the squire bad delib- erately turned his head aside, and the hint had been taken. About a month after the doctor had taken up bis abode in the red house the squire strolled down to the south gate of his grounds and went out into the road to see his daughter mount her bicycle, and after she had started lie strolled along a little way that he might get a better view of her as she swept round a bend of the road. The' old man's face glowed with pride and love when sbe waved her hand to him and vanished, and swinging swiftly round be planted his foot on a round stone which rolled on the hard road and threw him violently to the ground. "I fear you have hurt yourself. May I help you?" said a voice beside him. The squire looked up angrily and saw that he had fallen near to the gate of the red house just as Dr. Massey was coming out. "Thank you, sir! I need no assist- ance," he said haughtily. As he spoke he scrambled hastily to his feet and gave a sudden cry of pain as he put his wrenched foot to the ground. "You have hurt yourself more than you think," persisted Dr. Massey. "Here is my carriage. Let mo drive you home." The squire was white to the lips with pain, but bis pride rebelled against ac- cepting a favor from the owner of the red house. "Thank you!" he repeated decidedly: "I can manage with my stick." "As you will," replied the other. "Good morning!" He sprang into his carriage and drove away, while the squire began his slow and painful walk home. Reaching his library, he sank into his easy chair, with great beads of sweat rolling down his pale cheeks. Having sent a servant for his own doctor, he proceeded to bathe and band- age his foot, and so bossily was he en- gaged in his amateur doctbiing that ho did not hear the sound of wheels on the gravel without nor the commotion of many feet in the hall. A sharp knock sounded on the door. "Come in!" cried the squire, looking up. Dr. Gerard Massey entered, looking grave. Mr. Turnbull's face flushed dusky red with anger. "How dare yon come to see mo unin- vited?" he cried, flaring up passionately. "Mr. Turnbull," replied Dr. Massey quietly, "I don't know why you hate me so, but you must try to forget it— for your daughter's sake. She has met with a severe accident. Luckily I came upon her as she fell from her machine, . and I have brought her home." • "Brought her home?" repeated the egpire slowly. "Is she dead, then?" • "No, not dead, and I trust she will not die, but she is in a very critical state and will need great care. Her bead has been severely injured, and she is now unconscious." The old man drew a long breath. "I ought to apologize. I fear I have been rude, and I must thank you for what yon have done," he said. Then be added stiffly, "I have sent for my own medical man, Dr. Travers, t9 attend to this confounded foot of mine, and I ex- pect him every moment," "Travers has been called soddenly to town and has left hie patients in my oare," replied Dr. Massey. "I am sorry, but I fear you must put up with me— for your daughter's sake. I won't trou- ble you longer than I oau help. In the meantime let me put you comfortable. " Without waiting for permission, the young doctor went down on his knees, and in a few minutes his skillful hands had brought comparative ease to the in- jured foot. "Now I must go back to Miss Turn- bull," be said. :"Thank you. Yon are very kind," said the squire to the owner of the red house. A year later Squire Turnbull stool looking gloomily gut of his library win- dow. His eyes were fixed on the red house, and he was using bad language ander his breath, Suddenly a smile overspread his faoe as a pair of bicycle/1 Dame skimming noiselessly up the carriage drive, bear- ing his daughter Mabel and Dr. Gerard Massey to the front door. The sound of their laughter was heard in the hall; then tbore was a knock at the library door, and the young doctor came iu alone. His handsome face was flashed, and he crossed the floor and took tip bis position beside the old man at the win- dow. "Squire," be cried impetuously, "you know my secret quite well. I needn't tell you how dearly I love your daugh- ter Mabel. Will you let me tell her so?" "Do yon mean that you haven't told her already, sir?" returned the squire gruffly, hiding his twiukling eyes with frowning brows. "No, I have not told her, but I—I think she knows." "I dare say. Now, young mau, tell me, do you claim her from me as your right because you saved her life?" "I have no claim but the claim of a true love, and only Mabel's true love for me can respond to it." "And what if I refuse my permis- sion?" "I shall wait a year, until Mabel is 21, and then I shall ask her without it," replied the young doctor firmly. "And you think she would say 'Yes?' " "Yes, ; think she would." "And so du I, Gerard, my boy, so do I!" cried the old squire heartily. "I don't sec that there is any good in my holding out and keeping you both wait- ing a year for your happiness. But I must make a condition, you know. It's a father's right." "What is it?" asked Gerard eagerly. "You must come and live here. I won't get in your way. I only want a couple of rooms. Aud you must let me pull down that—that—tha'— "Pull down the red honsel" cried the young doctor in amazement, seeing that the squire was pointing with a trembling finger toward his home. "Mabel and I will live with you gladly, if she will have me, but wby not let the red house?" "Because I hate it I" roared the squire in a voice of thunder, letting his pent up wrath burst upon Gerard's astonished ears in a single shout. "And I want my view of the sea!" A sudden light flashed into Gerard's mind, and, with a gleeful laugh, be grasped the squire's hand. "Agreed!" he cried. And then he went to find Mabe]. This is how it came to pass that Squire Turnbull tore his red rag to shreds and became a man of peaoe. In other words, he pulled the red house to pieces. He spent the whole of the sol- itary honeymoon time in the joyful work of demolition, -end when Gerard and Mabel Massey drovo up to the door on their return they found the old man standing on the steps, bland aud beam- ing and enjoying to the full his extensive view of the south downs and the sea. —Folks at Home. music That Reach. out. There is some recompense even in pain that attends the living of colorless lives. There is a story of how a visitor to Amsterdam, wishing to hear the wonderful music of the chimes of St. Nicholas, :cent up in the tower of the church to hear it, and tbore ho found a man with wooden gloves on his bands pounding the keyboard. It was all harsh and discordant when hoard so close by, yet all the while floating over the city were strains of enchanting music. Peo- ple in their homes wero thrilled by wonderful bell notes that fell from the tower. So it is in life. There are many sweet soils shut in to pain and sorrow and others whose days aro filled with dull, monotonous labor, who little dream of the music that reaches out and touches with its sweetness other lives; music that comes from their pa- tient hammering away with wooden gloves on noisy keys that seem all out of tune.

When bad weather is imminent, swallows fly low, because at each times the insects which constitute their food keep near the ground. and tho swallows are forced to follow them on to lower regions than at other seasons JUST A BOY. Laurence Hutton's Reminlaeenose al Sas` Juvenile Life In New York. He was not a very good boy or a very bad boy or a very bright boy or an•un- usual boy in any way. He was just a boy, and very often he forgets that he is not a boy now. Whatever there may be about the boy that is commendable he owes to bis father and to his mother, and he feels that he should not bo held responsible for it. His mother was the most generous and the most uselfisb of bureau beings. She was always thinking of somebody else—always doing for others. To her it was blessed to give, and it was not very pleasant to receive. When she bought anything, the boy's stereotyped query was, "Who is to have it?" When anything was bought for her, her own invariable remark was," What on earth shall I do with it?" When the boy came to her one summer morning, she looked upon him as a gift from heaven, and when she was told that it wu a boy, and not a bad looking or a bad condi- tioned boy, her first words were, "What on earth shall I do with it?" She found plenty "to do with it" be- fore she got through with it, more than 40 years afterward, and the boy has ev- ery reason to believe that ebe never re- grotted the gift. Indeed, the onoe told, him, late in her life, that he had never made her cry. What better benediotlon oau a boy have than that? The boy was redheaded and long nosed even from the beginning—a aby, dreaming, self conscious little boy, made peonliarly familiar with hie per- sonal defects by the constant remarks to the effect that his hair was red and that his nose was long. At school for years he was known familiarly as "Rufus," "Redhead," "Carrot Top" or "Nosy." His mother, married at 19, was the eldest of a family of nine children, and many of the boy's aunts and uncles were but a few years his senior and were his daily and familiar companions. He was the only member of hie own generation for a long time, and there was a con- stant fear upon the part of the elder.. that he was likely to be spoiled, and oonsequently he was never praised nor petted nor coddled. He was always fall- ing down or dropping things. He was al- ways getting into the way, and he could not learn to spell correctly nor to cipher at all. He was never in hie mother's way, however, and he was never made to feel so. But nobody exoept the boy knows of the agony which the rest of the family, unconsciously and with no thought of hurting his feelings, caused him by the fun they poked at bis nose, at his fiery locks and at his nnhandiness. He fancied that passersby pitied him as he walked or played in the streets, and be sincerely pitied himself as a youth des- tined to grow up into an awkward, tact- less, stupid man, at whom the world would laugh so long as his life lasted. —"A Boy I Knew," by Laurence Hut- ton, in St. Nicholas. A TRIBUTE TO ART. The Maid of Mlleels and the Beautiful Venus de Medici. Somewhere in Washington — just where is not necessary to the maiu point at issue in this short article on the de- velopment and undevelopment of art in the national capital—is a mansion pre- eitver by a woman of wealth and refinement. Sho is a most artistic wom- an, too, and in her house aro some un- usually fine pieces of painting and stat- uary. There is also a Mileaian maid, by name Maggie, who knows a deal more about housecleaning than she does about sculpture, and Maggio has been trying for a long time to cultivate her tanto up to the point of properly appreciating the painted and carved beauty with which she daily Domes in ooutset Not many days ago the mistress and the maid were going over the house with brush and broom, putting it in especial order for a musicale that was to be given to a few artists and fasbionables, and the mistress observed that the maid on three several occasions passed by with cold neglect of cloth and brush a beau- tiful figure of the "Venus de Medici," in an alcove just off the ball. "Hero, Maggie!" she called. "Why don't you brush the duet off this figure?" "Which wan, mem?" inquired Mag- gie with great innocence. "The 'Venus' there in the alcove, of course. See"—and the lady touobed it with her finger—"you have left duet all over it." "Yis, mom," confessed Maggie, "but I do be thinking for a long time, mem, that there aht to be something on it, mem." It was a delightful and logioal excuse, perhaps, but the lady could scarcely ao- oept It, and Maggie'a brush removed even the dusty drapery she wished to leave.—Washington Star. HL Grandmother.

A Tight Is the TraneveaL The stories of fighting between Boers and English iu South Afrioa have a strong rosemblanoo to those of Indian fighting in the old days in New Eng- land. Bullets aro exchanged between excellent marksmen concealed behind stones and bushes, and each bullet has, ander such circumstances, an immense 'Cue. The Cape Mercury says that Mr. Sampson, one of the Johannesburg "re- formers," is the hero of a famine com- bat with old Botha, a Boer fighter of re- nown. In the Boer war of 1881 Samp- sou and Botha found themselves behind stones on a level plain, shooting at each other. Sampeou presently made euro that he had hit Botha and raised his head a little, wheu a bullet plowed bis neck. "My man is dead," exclaimed Bothe, and exposed himself.: At the same in- stant a bullet froth Sampson's rifle 'truck him. "This time I've got him!" shouted Sampson, and raised himself up, but a bullet grazed his side and ho dropped. Botha now had no doubt that he had ended his autagouiet, and jumped up ou his feet, only to bo again laid low. Though the men were now past fight- ing, with two bad wounds apiece, both reoevored, and when Sampson settte'd in the Transvaal they became great Mende and ofteu chaffed each other about this encounter. Grwt'a Mother. Hannah Simpson, the gentle wife, had no discoverable enemies. She was almost universally beloved as a Chris- tian woman and faithful wife and moth- er. It took longer to know her, for she was the most retioeut of persona "Ulysses got his roticouoe, bis patienoo, bis equable temper from his mother," is the verdict of those who kuow both father and mother. Others go farther and say, "Ho got his Rona from his mother." Hannah Simpson seems to have gath- ered up and carried forward to her son Ulysses the best qualities of her people. That she was a remarkable woman all her neighbors bear tostituouy. She never complained of any hardship or toil or disappointment. Sho seldom laughed, and her son Ulysses once said, "I never saw her abed a tear iu my life." She was as proud of her family history as ber husband was of hie, but she said nothing about it. She never argued, never boasted and never gossiped of her neighbors. Her bnebaud bore testimouy to her high character in words well chosen, "Her steadiness and strength of character have been the stay of the family through life."

Out of a Simple imitraMeat IR Is Possible to arta, .wait adeladasa. A zobo is simply a hollow brass tube, tasbioned in the form of any of the va- rloua in.traineata of a brise band, Mut having no keys. The sound is produced by singing into the instrument. The small horns, fashioned to look like oor- neta, give to the human voloe a sound as nearly as possible resembling that of a regular oornet, with echo attachment, played with the Bobo key down. The cornets aro intended to bo played by soprano voices, the tenor horns by the altos and the heavier instrument., trom- MEMDEIte oy THE x.0110 BAND. bonen, baritones and euphoniums, by the tenor and bass voloos. With the aid of the zobo oornet the voice can reach notes that would make a grand opera prima donna turn faint with envy, and with the bass instruments a base singer can defy all vocal traditions by going Rev oral notes lower than the lowest voioe note recorded. The possibilities of too zobo as a means of adding attractiveness to class celebrations became apparent recently to Principal David E. °addis, the enter- prising superintendent of Grammar school No. 54, ou One Hundred and Fourth street, Now York. A set of in- struments was obtained and a band of boys and girls wits formed under the di- rection of Miss Lodge, who bad made a study of the zobo. It was found that aft- er four rehearsals the handmade a crod- itablo.bowing, end at the next exercises in connection with the school the zobo band was a feature that won delighted plaudits. There are kg members of the band, including two drummers and a dram major. Tbo novel band so pleased the leaden of the Kedron mission at One Hundred and Twenty-third street and First ave- nue that thoy decided to get up • zobo entertainment, and this was done, the performance proving a great snooesr. The bicyolls(e, being always on the lookout for snythfng that will,add bright features to a wheelman's prade, seized the zobo idea with avidity. The Century Wheelmen of Philadelphia are becoming famous in the Quaker City for the clever robe performances given at their oelebretions. While it requires little practice to en- able a band to play selections fairly well, it is possible to make really im- pressive music when the ethos are "played" by flue singers.

Of course no one will believe you, and you ask all to tarn their backs or close their eyes, if they will promise not to look, until ono of the party counts ten. Immediately they have turned their eyes you pick up enother glees of water and hastily swallow a few mouthfuls. They hear tho sound. but no one can look until ten is counted.

How the Breaking Down of the Arab 1. Remedied by a easel Serip. Despite the fact that the beauty of a well arched foot is much appreciated by people of au artistic turn of mind, has been sung frequently by poets and verse - makers, there has beeu until lately lit- tle interest, from • soientibo point of view, taken in its direct opposite --the flatfoot. In a great num ber of instanoes flat feet are the 000aaion of considerable keen suffering, generally resulting from the breaking down of the arch—that is, the displacement of some of the many little bonee of the foot either from overstrain or some disease of the muson- lar structure. As the weight of the body oonetantly rests upon the foot, there is no opportunity for the boner to get back to their proper places. Tho reeult is that these little bones keep robbing against each other, and the pain gets more and more severe. Commonly the person aftlioted in this way thinks that be or she has rheuma- tism and lets it go at that. Until re- oently the only remedy wane steel soled shoe that was clumey and heavy. The new devioe is interesting. It L an "in- sole," in•sole," curved to fit the foot, made of a bent strip of steel and acting as a spring.

In position it sots simply as a sup- port, literally holding up the bones and giving them an opportunity to slip battik into their proper places. While any "in- sole" of the approximate shape will give relief, the best results are reached only when one im especially made from a out or impression of the toot.

Billy was a bit dubious about aooepting the invitation, fearing possibly that the great father at Washington might have designs upon his lite or happiness, but be wan prevailed upon to make the trip, and he embarked op board of the train with a great show of oourage. The trains of that period were not the filers of today—in fact, on many of the short lines the engineers were compelled to get out of their abs and walk to lighten the train and permit it to proceed at an even rate of speed.

Ms Most Unexpected Recovery of a Long Lost Dog, "Speaking of watchdogs," said the retired burglar, "I never owned a watchdog, but I did once own a jolly little mongrel dog that we called some- times Nibs, but mostly Nibsy, a lively, iensitive little fellow, but no watchdog. fon might have,played a brass band outside, and he'd never hear it, but lot anybody that he knew walk across'the floor, and he'd wag his tail in his sleep. "Well, after we'd had Nibsy a num- ber of years we lost him. He jest discp- peered one day and didn't come back, and we didn't know whether he'd been run over by a train of oars or strayed away and got lost, or whether somebody had picked him up and carried him off, or what was the matter, but be didn't comp bank, and we missed him very much because we all liked Nibsy. "Now, maybe yon can guess what happened. One morning early, about 8 or half past 2, some months after that, as I was moving slowly in the dark across a room on the second floor of a house that I had called at some 50 miles from where I lived, I felt the legs of a small dog thrown against mine. I couldn't seo the dog at all, but it was standing on its hind legs and resting its fore legs against me, and I could tell by the movement of them that ho was wag- ging his tail violently. It was Nibsy, of course. He'd known my tread, soft as it was, and woke up to receive me. "Well, yon know, glad as I was to find Nibsy, I'd rather not have found him right there, because he was almost certain to make trouble for me. He be- gan to whine with joy the first thing, and then he gave a little yelp. That was just what I was afraid of. He didn't want to make any trouble for me, but that one yelp was enough. A man in the bed jigs up and pulls a string and turns malt light and says: " 'Now, what's the matter?' "And I puts up a great polar bluff and says, 'Yon swip.1 my dog, and I've come to get him.' "'Swiped nothing,' he says. 'I'll swipe you in a minute,' and be wasn't slow in getting. a/it either. Ho was getting out of bed and oomingfor me all the time bo was talking, and a good healthy, powerful looking man be was too. But Nibsy was bright. Nibsy made just ono dive at the man's feet, but that was enough to stop him until I'd got turned and started, and a minute later I was going down the road, with Nibsy coming on behind." -New York Sun. Utterly Had. "Yea," epako tboy of the one who bad gone, "he was utterly and hopeless- ly bad. His wickedness migbt have been forgiven had it been aoconpanied by any redeeming trait, but ho bad none. He of nldn't even tell a funny story." - Indianapolis Journal. • Silk dresses rustle mach more loudly in dry weather, because they are almost devoid of moisture and the friction be- tween their folds is considerable and noisy.

A PLjNS WAIF. For dams and weeks those of us who had not flown to the safety of the towns and the larger pamps had watched for the coming of the Apaches, who had been raiding the outlying ranches and the smaller mining camps by flying for- ays of smallparties not known- to be absent from their reservation. We bad grown tired of standing guard and spoil- ing our winter holidays and our eyesight looking in the darkness for the attack that did not come—although the most recent tenderfoot know that it was' pore than likely to come at the most unex- pected time—when there came a courier from Silver City to tell us that our camp was billed for the next engage- ment. It Dame upon bis arrival, or very nearly so. This courier, who was a oowbow from the S -bar, 30 miles north of us, had hardly 8ene to his supper when the trouble arrived. Within an hour it seemed as though millions of howling, sharpshooting, government fed loafers had surrounded the camp, and every man who could handle a rifle was needed. Driven bank from the surrounding hills to the confines of the camp proper— driven by sheer force of numbers back, back, into our very cabins, where the women and children were—bullet after bullet was sent after an unseen enemy who lay behind the rocks. Then- There came a bugle call of which we knew not the technical meaning, but we did know that troops from Fort Bayard had come to our rescue, and that we and ours were saved. The troopers, used to this kind of work, bad dismounted and had sur- rounded the redskins, and when some of the latter made a break through the lines they were followed by a number of soldiers, among whom, not leading, but anxious to be "in the thick of it," was Lieutenant John Marcus Horton, late of West Point, who found himself unable to brandish a sword and about, "Follow me!" at one and the s: nae time, but who sprinted admirably n ertheless, Lieutenant Horton never knew what did happen that nigh not exactly.. lie remembered only that en the trouble was all over in this his \\ first engage- ment he was the possessor ,first a shattered arm, a broken rib or two, a cut head and a small, blond prisoner, whom he had captured at the point of the sword when the troopers found the obscure canyon in whioh the Indians, who had evidently proposed to emigrate to Mex- ico, despite the season, had concealed their families. Horton's prisoner came along with surprising willingness. Her complexion was tanned by the sun and winds almost as dark as that of any Apache, but the same influences had served only to bleach her naturally light hair to an unmistakably tow and molasses taffy Dolor or two. She must have retained some recollection of her Scandinavian parents, else she had not come along with Mr. Horton so willingly, for she had a temper, as was presently discov- ered by several persons. Yet Ale could not or would not speak a word aside from the Apache dialect, and we could learn nothing through the"interpreters of her origin or as to the time she had lived among the Indians. It was not embarrassing merely—it was distressing really to all of us—the question of what we should do with this waif. Those of Apache parentage we could and would return to the reserva- tion. But this one— The women had talked it over with doubtful shakes of the head, when John Marcus Horton, with more apparent bravery than he ever showed as a "plebe," a cadet officer, or in actual fighting service, strode modestly into the breach. "I'll attend to her case," he said. Then, seeing that the eyes of the assem- bled mothers of the community were upon him, he blushed, but continued firmly: "My people will see to it that she lacks nothing in the way of educa- tion or training. Why not send her to my mother in Ohio, and I will attend to the expenses of her chaperonage?" That was the end of Olga for the time. Five years afterward she came back to us, and her readvent was the undoing of many susceptibles. Meanwhile .there had been changes while Olga was at school. John Horton was no longer in the army, an uncle of his having died and left him his inter- est in several valuable mining proper- ties, the sole condition being that he re- sign his commission as a titled defender of his country, and Horton, it is need- less to state, exchanged his chances for glory for this very substantial consider- ation with all the alacrity that army regulations would permit, thereby be- coming "Colonel" Horton by brevet of his admiring and envious fellow citi- zens. That was three years back, and twice during that time ho had been in Ohio to visit his people, only to return with glowing aocounts of the manner in which Olga was getting on with her mesio, her other studies and the ways of polite society. After each of these tripe it was "Olga this" and "Olga that," until v;�e`were tired of hearing of his little "Norwegian Apache," as one of the boys ungallantly dubbed her one Stine when Horton wat not present_ Had Horton been aiytbitng but a good fellow nd a wealthy man he might have been "culled doth" scores of times by the bored ones, As it was, however, we lis- tened to him with what was intended to be an interested expression, drank his wtn-is, borrowed hie money and hoped we might never behold Olga in the flesh. But when, after bis third visit east, Horton returned to Silver City, bringing with him his mother and the little "Norwegian Apache," wilat a change of heart and a surreuder of hearts! In- stead of an angular, awkward young person, possessed of points that might make her, when developed, a beauty of the "lily" type, behold a petite young woman, with a wealth of pale golden hair, beautiful eyes and teeth, complex- ion of roses and cream and a decidedly vigorous constitution which called for lots of horseback riding and other out- door exercises. Of course Horton was persona grata at the post, having been stationed there during the major portion of his brief term of service as a lieutenant, where- fore the wives and daughters of the gar- rison strove to outvie each other in their atteutious to his beautiful little protegee, suffering themselves, on her account, to listen to his mother's long dissertations on pedigrees, especially that of the l3or- tons. As a general thing the female contingent of garrison society does its best to discourage "outsiders" ail being likely to prevent the capture, in due form, of what it considers its own legit- imate prey. But in this instanoe it was different, -for wasn't it possible that this merry young stranger might captivate and marry some penniless subgltern, thereby leaving the field open for some spinster sister to ensnare the very eligi- ble and decidedly wealthy Horton? Decidedly so, and upon this basis the campaign went on, much to the evident amusement of Olga, who, with womanly intuition"and a knowledge of the ways of women far beyond her years, put two and two together and told Horton it was all very funny. 'Fancy those army frumps, Jack, being jealous of me—poor me! Jack" (this with mock solemnity), "are you in love with me?" "Olga, I wish you would not talk in that frivolous manner. It isn't like you, and you should have enough considera- tion for me to believe those people sin- cere in their attentions." And Horton turned away with a pained look, but Olga's arms were around his neck, and her fade was close to his, as, with wet eyes, she whispered: 'Jack, dear, have I hurt you?" Never before had John Horton been so tempted. Should he now tell her what for two years had been in his heart of hearts, unknown to any one, despite his loquacious enthusiasm oon- oerning her, or should ho take advantage of her dependent position and her 18 years or thereabout and confess himself? It was but a momentary struggle, then Horton was himself again—a mute worshiper of the goddess he himself had created, or found and developed. "Yee, you have, dear. Please don't speak of my friends agaiu in that way, ", he said, disengaging her arms. Olga'_ mouth drooped, and there was a pite :. s look in her eyes as she replied: " won't, John." Then, with a Bud- de. -kiss, she walked away as though untended to go to her room for a big, feminine cry, but she didn't. A half hour later found her at the piano trying to warble a Mexican song, while she fondled the cat with ono hand and picked out the accompaniment with the other. Horton stood in the gallery for some seconds, her parting kiss burning upon his cheek, her pathetic face as she left him still before his mind's eye. "I'm an old brute!" he told himself. "A man of my ago" (he was 28) "talk- ing to a buoyant, irrepressible child in that manner merely because I am sup- posed to be her guardian! Jack, yon old scoundrel, yon ought to be ashamed of yourself!" If there was it male person in south- western New Mexico who did not fall down and worship that little "Norwe- gian Apache," he failed, probably through fear, to declare himself, but of all tho love stricken young idiots that ever commanded • a first platoon (with credit) in times of peace and in times of war and fell ignobly before the ini- tial onslaught of the little fellow with the arrows of love Mr. Danby of the Ninth was the bell mule. With bim Olga's affair was serious— to the young lieutenant. He all but neg- lected his duties to be at her side when she and Mrs. Horton were stopping at the post, and even, in his infatuation, almost compromised her by falling in with one of her mad fancies one day when he had obtained leave of absence and riding with her unchaperoned to Lordsburg and back, returning at dead of night. For this Horton took both of them seriously to task as soon as he learned of the affair, as he did the evening fol- lowing through his shocked and dis- tressed mother, who rode into town in an army ambulance in order to tell him. To Danby, whom he found in his bachelor's quarters, he said in his low- est; quietest tones: "Dan, if it were almost any one but yon, if I didn't know you for a gentle- man, I'd punch your head and call you out besides. But for Olga's sake" -e - "Perhaps yon couldn't punch my head, Jack," interrupted his friend calmly; "not if I were present. But let's say nothing more and—it cha'n't happen again. You don't know bow sorry I am. I atrppose she'll never speak to me again after all this," he concluded sadly. But she did, and she also o®oiated as pall bearer at the funeral of his hopes, a week or two later, when he proposed to her at a picnic given by the ladies of the garrison in honor of Olga's depar- ture from the fort. She was kind enough to him, and all that, but Danby took it rather hard and sworn he'd resign his commission, retire to the mountains and adopt hermitage as a profession. In- stead, however, ho exchanged to a northern post, fell in love again and married his colonel's wife's sister, who was plain, but who had money enough to disguise the fact somewhat. Fielding comes next. Ho was a lead- ing light of the local far at ono o1 the larger Arizona towns and attended to a good deal of business for Horton, who was interested in oopper over there. He came to Silver City to consult with his client, met the "papoose," and a heart theretofore considered impregnable ea- pitalated at first glance, and Fielding was lost. He neitteiied his other suits to attend to this ono To such a degree that it hurt his practice, and in the end he met the same fate at the charmer's hands as had poor Danby—with a dif- ferquoo. Miss Olga told him that if he remained of the same mind until the following year he might propose again, and she "might" then consider tho mat- ter. Meanwhile, if Mrs. Dorton did not object, he might write to her at school, but she would not answer hie letters. Poor Fielding waa utterly oast down, not even the permission to write afford- ing him any hope, and all that kept him from suicide was an earnest request from Horton neither to make au as. of himself nor to die on the premises, after whioh that severe guardian lectured his ward quite harshly for her flirtatious ways, oapeoially when her arts were practiced upon his own personal friouds. "But I don't mean to, Jaok—really I don't. What snaked them act eo? I can't help it!" sobbed the culprit. "Yea, you eau," said her mentor se- verely, adding mentally, "but they can't" He looked out of the window a mo- ment, then turned to her, and in a stra sed voice! said : "Papoose, 1 think it beat yon and mother should curtail your vieit and go bank to Ohio as soon as you can pack np. I'll speak to mother about it to- night, and—well, I'll dee you at Christ- mas anyway." There was a quiet sob from the sofa, which gave Horton suicidal feelings, and in another moment be would have gone to comfort the weeper, but just then he heard his mother's step on the walk, and when she entered Olga had fled to the privady of her room. Two days later there was an aching void in Silver Oity social circles, caused by the exodus of Mrs. Horton and her ward. Many there were who wondered at their early departure, but nobody asked any question& John Horton was vastly approachable up to a oertain limit. This limit was arrived at when curios- ity's interrogations involved hie ward or bis business. kisser. But he aid not say Te wit i any measure of solemnity. —Lester Ketchum in Argonaut. Be Was Timbals.. One of the oddest little reoollections of training which come to mind at this moment is that concerned with Henry Jivins, who was trying to condition himself to ruu 100 yards in 9 1-5 seo- onda Be lived at Little Hoohing, 0., on the Short Line. Tho Short Line only ran one real, true blue and bona fide passenger train a day on that division, but it oared for the local tramo by ap- pending a coach to a freight train, and all cue living along the line bad to do was to yell tbreo swift shrieks and the train would atop almost anywhere—al- most anywhere, but not absolutely so. There ist•ono etrotch of night milds of up grade between Little Hooking and Torch, and unless the trains start from the latter station with a good run for the hill they are likely to stall. Jivins; ignoring this, started out ono morning a tete hundred yards behind the pufiing locomotive, intending to train np his speed by running tbo accommodation down. The accommodation was about mid- way of the hill and laboring hard when Conductor Perso Morse looked back and saw the flying figure of Jiving. Believe ing ho had left a passenger, the conduct- or reluctantly gave the signal to the engineer to stop. The engineer mistook the signal, pulled her wider open, and with a jerk out came the drawbar, the train parted, and the rear ball, rushing back down the hill, crashed into a. car of ooal on the open siding, demolished the station and knocked the water tank off its piling. Tho seven male passou- gers jumped, and nobody was hurt. Peres Morse, with his coat eplit up the back and his left thumbeprained, hoot- ed around for the belated passenger, in- tending to point out to him what the Short Line Railroad company had done in order that ho might got a ride. Jiving being found, Morse spoke to him with dignity and told him bo hoped now ho would be at the station in time for bis train when be next wanted to ride. "Why," said Jiving, "I .didn't want to ride." And be explained that be was "in training." Not coutlting the train Drew, there were seven men who whipped Jivins that morning.—Chicago Record. • • • • • • Over a year later Horton wrote his ward a letter somewhat to the following effect: "There bas been enough of this sort of thing. I suppose you do your flirting now with the callow sophomores and the hitherto sedate and dignified professors for want of better material. Now, Olga, this most stop. Here is Jim Fielding, ono of the beat, brightest, brainiest fel- lows in the world, going to the doge on your account. I want you to be serious and think things over, and when you oome down here this time do give Jim a chance." Olga camp on schedule time, along with Mrs. Horton, and it was very shortly after her arrival—not more than two days—that Fielding again declared himself. But it was a different Olga to whom be spoke this time. It was a girl with the same old ways, the same odd fannies, but yet a girl who could understand and appreciate his feelings and pity him with her whole heart without.. making her pity obnoxious. She had known, she said, that this was Doming and hud dreaded yet hoped for this talk on the gallery, but she did not tell bim of her stormy interview with John Horton that afternoon, when that ogre had told her she must aocord Fielding a hearing or— or—there would'be indefinite trpnble. " Will you shako hands with me, Mr. Fielding?" the girl asked tremulously when she had finished telling bim how she had long thought it over and found she could not love bim. "I suppose it's useless to gay I'm sorry, although I hope you know I am. So"— "I know you are, Miss Horton. I be- lieve in your sympathy and your kind- ness of heart as thoroughly as I believe in human existence. And I believe in myself enough," he went on more firm- ly, "to think that I might be the sno- oessfnl one were it not for another— some one. Good night. God bless yor bothl" They shook bands as two ordinary ac- quaintances might have done, and Olga disappeared through the hall and np the stairs. That very day Horton haat made him- self practically certain that the future of his giddy ward was assured; that, true to his behests and the promptings of a consoieuce he had done everything to make worldly, Olga would engage herself to Jim Fielding. Then, after all bis guests had gone to bed and ho was left alone in his library, this great, big ex -soldier, thinking it was all over and that he was forsaken, leaned his head on the table and cried like a baby. He was a babytoo, for presently some one entered thttroom quietly, and, kneeling beside bim, said: "Tell me. Jaoky—tell your mother." Some women are jealous of their son's loves. Jack's mother was not one of these, no matter what her other faults. "Yon can't direct a woman's affec- tions, darling, any more than you can direct the tides or the winds. And— you have done a great deal, it seems to mo, for Mr. Fielding in this case." • • • • • • There must have been at least 20 guests at Horton'e house to celebrate the home Doming, and these bad nroureased through nearly every course, when one of the girls, who at opposite Olga, re- marked suddenly: "Why, Olga Horton, where's your pretty solitaire? The last time I saw it"— Olga flushed, then paled, as she rose, trembling, and showed the solitaire (a gift from Mrs Horton from among the family heirlooms) on the third finger of ber left hand. "It's just changed hands, that's all," she said, trying to speak brightly, "be- muse Jaok and I are to be married next summer." Then she smiled on them all and was gone, and presently Jack, ut- terly bewildered, but entirely happy, found ber in the garden crying. "Sweetheart"— "Go away! I bate yogi I"— "Another lie," commented Jaok ja- dioially, but exultantly. "However, you're forgiven, for the sake of the cause in which it was told. Bat here, Sap- phire, how aro wo to explain things?" "Why; just go and tell them that you're au old Blow poke and a duffer and that I'ru a silly schoolgirl, but that what I say'goos'—and, Jack, it's just seven yenre ago this time that you found me, and it's leap year, too, and, Jaok, you're not Dross, are yon?"

Drawbacks of a College Education. A second drawback of a college edu- cation is one whioh-the publio often re- alizes, but seldom calla attontiou to— vis, tbe training o1 the judgment of the student at the oxpenee of his energy. The extent of this drawbgok will seem to some groat and to others slight. It cannot be doubted that if certain meu bad had tbo advantage of a training io weighing evidence and in geeing cam. prebensively—qualities which the col- lege specially disciplines—they would have been saved from mistakes many and momentous. The patent office would not need so large chambers for tbo stow - ago of melees inventions. But I also find myself asking: What wonld have been the effect of a college training on some of the more energetic men of our time who have been the leaders in ag- gressive industrial movements or mas- ters of large affairs? What would have been its effect on too older generations of that family which oontrols certain railroads runuing between New York and Chicago? Would tbo marvelous and magnifloent enterprises of Commodore Vanderbilt have been rendered less so by a college education? Better judgment about many things ho would have had, but would he not have had leas energy? Great as is the need of good judgment in the administration of affairs in tbo home, the factory, the shop, the need of energy is greater. Fewer men fail by reason of a lack of judgment—numer- ous as these mon are—than from a lack Of foroe. Moro men are found getting at the baso of the mountain of some great enterprise because they aro too indolent to olimb than are there through lack of wisdom how to make the ascent. We Americans plume and pride ourselves upon being the meet energotio of na- tions, yet our energy lags behind our judgment. It is therefore a serious mat- ter when the college ceases her students to run t , riak of losing energy in order to increase tbo riches of judgment.— Preeident Charles F. Towing in Forum.

In "The Land of Sunshine" is an article entitled "Songs of tbo Navajoos," and there are notes of the music, as recorded on the phonographic cylinders, accurately moor- ed. Mr. John Comfort Fillmore writes: From the standpoint of the scientific student of folk song, all these Navajo songs whioh I have had the opportunity to study aro extremely interesting. This interest, too, ie of several different kinds. Tho Navajoes, like all other mak- ers of folk music, use their songs as a medium of poetioend emotional expres• sion, and it is very intending to note the quality of melody they employ for this purpose. One may note the range and kind of intervals, tbo kind of rhythm and meter and the quality of tone which these people find appropriate to the expression of certain ideas and feel- ings in song. A comparison of the Na- vajo songs in those particulars with the oorresponding Muga of other tribes and races would bo a most intending eth- nological study, especially as the inner - moat life of all our aboriginal tribes is embodied in their music. So far as 1 know, all their prayers and expressions of religion feeling find outlet in song. So do all the deeper social emotions, and the historical re,00rda of the tribes, the traditions of noble deeds, the memo- ries of good and bad fortunes received at the bands of the gods, all are record- ed and banded down in tbo songs of the various societies.

Our mopes' is prohibited by the eon- sliitotton !roma making laws respecting religious views and theories. This being the ease, fanatics of all kind have tak- enlbe opportunity to prtnd their views and make an effort tgljptead their doptrInes. Within the present century not less than a half dozen deluded mor- tals residing within the limits of the United States have claimed to be Christ returned to earth, and the queer thing in oonneotion with the m.inliitry of such fanatic is the fact that they can per- suade perpns who are supposed to have a fair amount of brains to believe that they are all they olefin to be. Since 1880 Ave different salts have been founded in the United States the members of which claimed tho ability of either themselves or their funder to live forever. Eseb of tbeeo queer ootn• amities has been known by its neigh - bore ae "the immortals," and each bas in the coarse of time Como to grief, as all snob visionary dreamers must. The lest deluded being to found a seat on the theory that he blm.el:f, at least, was immortal was David Patterson, who was known to his followers as "the eye of Jehovah. " The Patterson sect were known as "tbe children of Ziou.1 Their headquarters were mainly at Grand Rapids, bitch., although there were up- ward of a dozen branch organizations in the different states of tbo Union. Pat- terson claimed that he would never die, and the great tenet of faith with the children of Zion was belief in the claims which their leader made. In 1888 this self styled "eye of Jehovah" began to grow dim -in other word., to waste away with an incurable disease. Finally he went to France, where ho died, just as all other mortals have done or will da This cured the delusion of the Mich- lgandere at Grand Raids 1 awoke to the feet either bee phemer. mortality are not at e11 dltngorona, as it is only a question of time when the delusion w $t.

Ball -like Tones Not A1v a 01f't of Ne - tore, but May Be Aegnfred. The power of the highest interpreta- tion of music in song is vouchsafed to but few favored mortals and ie not to be acquired by any amount of endeavor, if the true "golden throat," with finely adjusted ohordle vooalos, be lacking. A voice of sweet and mellow quality in 9eaking, however, is not always a gra- one gift of nature, but is a possible at- tainment to persons of the Most ordinary musical capacity. A prima donna spends warmly more time practicing her scales than an atobitions actress devotes to the cultivation of a ringing, bell-liko into- nation to her sentoneee, for pnblio speak- ers and people of the theatrical profes- sion understand the value of vibrant tones, of the "thrilling, solomu, proud, pathotlo voice," whose oohoeg linger long in the memory of the enthralled listener. Among well bred people low voi088 are the rale -low, bainot always mnsio- al, a tendency to falsetto marking any effort beyond ordinary dgtiveraatiou, which is simply an evidence of the lack of proper training, or of a failure to praotloo those primary principles of elo- oution that aro a part of the briefest otnnmon school education. Lessons ander a teacher are not an absolute neueseity to the woman who would eooure the grace of clear, sweet aooenta. Deep breathing and ohest ex- pansion are the first steps toward the desired end, and a syatomatio oouree of throat strengthening, combined with enough disownment to decide between a nasal twang and pure tone, is about all that is needed to achieve a fair degree of success. An excellent method of strengthening the throat le gargling with eold salt water in the morning, bathing it at the same time, first with very hot and then with very oold water. It thus gets a slight shock and is braced up and per- manently benefited. -New York Jour- nal. African Blood Brotherhood. The method of making blood brother- hood among the Galls and , Somali has ib peculiarities. It is described by Wil- liam Astor Chanter in"Tbirongh Jun- gle and Desert:" Lokomagul, on behalf of his people, and I, on behalf of my own, each seised in our right bands a round Atone. Upon the stones we liberally expectorated. Each then passed his Atone to his fol- lowing, who did likewise.. Wo then ex- changed Atones, and each, holding the stone in his right hand, with his left dug a /mall hole in the soil, meanwhile uttering words of supposed magic im- port. In these holes we finally placed the Atones and oovered them with sand. Wo then grasped hands and assured each other that we were the beet friends possible. Natw'r Windows.

It was re- ferred to a joint committee. of which Messrs. Donnelly and Staples are both members. Mr. Staples has been appointed upon the joint committee on appor- tionment and Mr. Donnelly upon the joint sugar beet investigation. J. B. Kelly. of Eureka, has secured his old place in the house cloak rooms. Mr. Staples has introduced a bill in the house providing for traveling libraries, which have proved very 3uc- cessful in other states. The commissioners of Rice County awarded the tax list at twelve cents per description and the other printing at $1.50 per folio for the first inser- tion and seventy cents each subse- quent insertion, to be published in each of their six papers, the compen- sation shared equally by them. Aside from the first named item it amounts to exactly double legal rates, which is more than made up by the increased circulation among those in- terested in these matters. Our coun- ty paid last year ten cents per de;; scription for the tax list; $1 per folio for the financial statement, two in- sertions; and fifty cents per folio for the proceedings, one insertion. The latter were printed in all of our county papers without additional The 4ming down of Dr. C. N. Hewitt a memher of the state board of heMth appears to have been a personal matter with Gov. Clough, in which twenty-five years of credit- able service cut no figure whatever. When the new secretary is named the matter will very likely explain itself. The Stillwater Gazette says that John Zelch and J. B. Sutton have pooled their issues upon the boiler in- spectorship, the former to have the honor of the appointment and the latter to be "first assistant, with terri- tory that will make it a good thing for him." The appointment of J. H. Block, of St. Peter, as trustee of the insane hospitals was held up in the senate on Tuesday, the point being raised that he was sheriff of Nicollet County, and therefore ineligible under the ruling of,the supreme court. The city of Anoka is advertising for the sale of $22,000 five per cent bonds; $10,000 to refund bridge honds.due next month and $12,000 to pay 'floating indebtedness. Insane asylums evidently• come high on the Rum River bottoms. The re-election of E. W. Randall as secretary of the state agricultural so- ciety is a well merited compliment to a faithful and efficient officer. The Rev. M. R. Paradis handed in his resignation to the elders of the Presbyterian Church yesterday morn- ing, and by vote it was accepted. He will deliver his farewell sermon two weeks from next Sunday, Jan. 31st. Mr. Paradis and family will leave at once for Hastings, Minn., where he has accepted the pastorate of the Presbyterian Church, and will begin his labors there the first of February. During Mr. Paradis' stay here he has made a host of friends in as well as out of the church who are sorry to see him depart. Under his zealous work the church has done good work and it was cluring his pas- torate that the handsome new edifice vta,s completed last year. The Re- publican congratulates Hastings upon securing such a worthy pastor and upright citizen:—Rensselaer (Ind.) Rich Valley Items. Miss Pauley spent Tuesday with a friend in the city. Arthur Bailey and Moses Strathern spent Sunday at home. Rumor says Miss Sarah Jack is soon to return to Canada. A number of young people attend- ed the meeting in Hastings Friday evening. Carrie Gilland has gone to the city to seek her fortune. May she meet with success. Miss Lillie Drake and Miss Carrie Gilland will be back in the Valley to attend the oyster supper and dance at H. Brown's Thursday night. William Barrett had a nice team badly injured the first of the week. They were kicked in the stable by another horse which was sharp shod. Wedding bells are ringing fast and loud in Rich Valley this week. Mr. Daniel Bergin and Miss Maggie Mar - mine were married in Vermillion Church Tuesday. They returned Wednesday and went to keeping house at the home place. Mr. Ber- gin's people moved to Red Wing some time ago. Mr. John Barrett and Miss Kate Callahan were married Wednes- day at St. Patrick's Church. We wish both couples many happy years. They certainly have every one's best wishes. Pt. Douglas Items.

Mrs. Minerva Shearer entertained a few of her friends very pleasantly Saturday evening. Mrs. Mary Urban has gone to a hospital in Minneapolis for treatment. Her daughter accompanied her. at the botetan of the ferry hill, and the horse ran a short distance. The frequency with which loads of wood, lumber, and grain are overtarned at this same place would suggest to most any one the risk of damages which the town incurs. We sincerely hope no such national calamity as rural free mail delivery will ever overtake us. In the sum- mer the women and children enjoy going after it. On rainy days and in winter how would the men and boys get an airing, or the wOmen a chance to sweep round the stove if there was uo mail to go after?

The Edwarde show gave a perform- ance at Weiler's hall Monday night. It was good, 'but the attendance was small owing to the extreme cold. A very valuable train went down the Great Western Sunday night. It was five car loads of silk from China, consigned to New York. It was guarded by a detachment of soldiers and given the right of way.

The pawnbroker, the beaker of the opendthrift and the unfortunate, the custodian of family okeletons and the receiving teller of hard luck stories, runs acrose a deal of the pathos of life mixed up with not a little that is strik- ingly ludicrous. Stories of former opulence:I and present need of reckless speculation, of dissipa- Mon, of oppreeeion. are given over to his Info keeping, along with valued keepsakes and family heirlooms. Some of these heirlooms have strange histo- ries. In the vaults of a Clark street pawn- broker is a bit of *oiled ribbon that was once pinned on the breast of a gallant general by no less a person than Napo- leon. The ribbon is soiled and crum- pled, but from the bottom of it, bright as the day it was first worn, hangs the insignia of the Legion of Honor. Along with it are papere giving the name of its firet holder and the fields of battle on which ho achieved the right to wear it. How it made in way to Chicago is unknown history. but time and again has it found its way into the vaults of the broker, only to be redeemed again and brought back.

She said she was of a Spanish family whioh had been com- pelled to leave its country for political cause& Sho would not give her name. "If I did," she iaid. "you would be in- credulous." Then alio handed the clerk a casket of jewels --tiaras, bria.lets, pendants, all set with gems of the first water. Sbe wanted $80,000—for only a short while, aho explained. Not a cent less would be of uso to her. The jewels had doubtless cost a great deal more than thie sum, but the broker feared he could not realize that amount on them, and the woman left and never returned. A few days ago a weltfressed, digni- fied man walked into tido same estab- lishment and maid he would like to se- cure a loan of a few dollars. Cin being asked what 'security be had to offer be -gam the dapper boob* atit-ut nervous prostration by °slimily removing a glean "This is remarkablyfine eye," he ex- plained, leieurely wiping the dislodged optio on bis handkerchief.

In the higher elan of pawashope— those that restrict themselves solely to diamonds, watches and jewelry—the place loans are negotiated and goods re- ceived are separated from the front ahow- room by a partition. To give greater privacy to customers there is a little row of stalls along a oonn ter. Then are fitted with spring doore, giving them the appearance of a line of telephone boxes. Into one of these a portion oan step and transact big or her business unseen by any save the clerk behind the counter. Last rammer, about holiday time, a fashionably dressed woman was in one of then stalls in a down town broker's of- fice. She wanted to borrow cm on a ring. "It's my engagement ring," she explained, "and I wouldn't have my husband know for tile world." While this was going on a man in the oumpartment next to her was dickering with another clerk over a loan of $50 on • watch. The owner's initials were on the back of the watch, and as this ten- oned its selling value the clerk hesitated in unwitting so much. "Oh, that's a point in your favor," explained the would be borrower.

Quite • number and variety of articles are used by people who are addicted to the hablt—apparently a growing one— of chewing things that come under the head of neither food nor medicine. Tbe appetite is probably a survival of the familiar propensity which prompts babiee to put everything they lay bold of into tbeir mouths, for it is observed tbat not only meu and boys. but also girls and WoMen, come tO indulge in the practice. Among men the admittedly noxious habit of chewing tobacco is still prob- ably ed disagreeably prevalent as ever. Recently it was stated on good author- ity tbat servant girls and shop asiistants often have a habit of chewing tea, and that the prsodoe, wben carried to ex - ten bed 410030141111111 rednoed them to • state of nervous ion which ren- dered it n to Tian a doctor to reveal the cense. The choice of something to chew. of- ten depends on tbe oocupation or the ar- ticles available. A coffee broker I know acquired a liking for ooffee beans, a sup- ply of which he always carried about in his pocket, and be has an amusing and nane way of offering a few to any friend he may chance to be talking to, as a man offers a pinch of sante when indulging himself. Iu this case it is mare tban likely the habit wu detri- mental to health. Another man, in the grain trade, was perpetually winching rioe or some other cereal. while still an- other acquired a liking for root ginger, which he had first used for teeth and gams too soneptible to cold in winter. Daring the influenza epidemic among the raggested preventive measures rec. =mended was that of chewing cinna- mon bark, and in IMO CMOS those who followed the advioe became so fond of the spioe that they afterward oontinued its use simply because they liked its stimulating taste and aromatic fiavor. Horsy men who do not cbew tobacoo frequently indulge themselves in chew- ing can, varying this delicacy with oboice bits of hay or straw. the latter for choice. Seamstresees acquire a taste for odds and ends of thread and wool, and in several cases have injured their health by chewing pi eeell that have been colored with poisonous dyes. Unquestionably, however, the sub- stance MOSI used in this oonnenicat ie "chewing gum." which now !arras an important article of commence.

It is eaid the United States spends $8,000,000 more on this article than on the main- tenance of its clergy of all denomina- tion& From another point of view it is stated that, on tbe one hand, the chewing gum luxury costa $9,000,000 more an- nually than the entire expenses of run- ning the prisons, courts, boepitals and polioe form of New York. while, on the other hand. the eutire revenue from the sale of fermented liquors only (tweeds that from chewing gum by $8,000,000.

One drinks a fresh, sweet draft of life In blessed Leisureland. The birds sing soft; the cushats coo; The breeze just.whispers to the flowers, Deep lined with autumn as they fade, To mark the peaceful hours; Tho dancing brooklets wider sweep, All voiceless where the blue flags stand, Rocking the drowsy bees to sleep In restful Leisureland. Then come while harvest moon is full, Sweetheart, adown the sipping way And whisper secrets to my soul Too dear for common day. A little space for thee and me, Which, heart to heart and hand in hand, Apart from weary Workaday, We'll spend in Leisureland. —Grace E. Denison. CAPIBRED BY A GIRL. Day was breakiug when Captain Suarez of the schooner Chimba emerged from his cabin and began to pace back anA forth upon his quarter deck. He was scarce 25, but his bearing plainly indi- cated tint he had seen long service at sea. He had not made mora than a dozen turns fore and aft when a girl oame tripping lightly to hisside. "Ab, sister, yon aro early! I am afraid your dreams could not have been pleasant to drive you to the deck so 80011.'' "Say not so, brother Carlos. Tho vi- sions which last night visited my pillow were of the sweetest, for they showed to me that our cause was bound to meet with success, and that the would be diotator, Ba]maceda, would bo driven in disgrace from Chile by his indignant countrymen. " "A h, Isadel, as enthusiastic a patriot as ever!" returned the sailor. "I would that the Bolls of Chile possessed the spirit of some of her daughters." "Nay, Carlos, do not malign your companions. But, brother, when and where do you expect to make a harbor? By this time our army must bo Badly in need of the arms and ammunition which you have. " "If fortune favors us, we shall have our anchor down in the port of Iquique before another sunrise." At that instant a voice from the main topmast crosstrees caused brother and sister, as well as the crew of the vessel, to start with apprehension: "Smoke, oh! Two points on the port bow." "But supposing it should bo one of Balmaceda's vessels?" asked the young girl anxiously as she grasped her broth- er's arm. "Then our voyage will have a speedy ending unless I can succeed in hood- winking her officers, for escape would be'out of the question." An hoar later the sun had burned away the mists of night, and perhaps a mile distant was a brig rigged steamer. Presently a puff of white smoke jetted ont over the bow of the pursuing craft, and the boom of a gun was borne to the ears of those on board tbo smaller vessel. "That means for us to heave to, Isa- del, and show our colors." "But who are they, Carlos—friends or enemies?" "They belong to the other party, and we may expect the worst. Had you not better go below to your stateroom until we learn the result of the coming meet- ing?" "Yes, Carlos, I will leave the deck if yon will promise me one thing." • "And that is?" "To follow these instrnctione to the letter. Read them carefully, and then destroy the paper. Farewell, brother," and, with a fervent hand clasp, Isadel Suarez hurried below. As his sister disappeared through the companionway the captain glanced at the note. When his eyes fell upon the writing, he started in surprise, but as he continued to read a smile broke over his features. The captain now ordered the Chilean flag to be hoisted to the main peak, say- ing, as he saw the bunting flattering aloft, "We are still sons of Chile and will meet either friend or foe beneath her ensign." "Schooner, ahoy! Who are you, and where from?" "The Chimba, from Callao for Val- paraiso." "Aye, aye! Stay where you are, and I'll send a boat aboard." Soon a cntter from the man-of-war was alongside, and an officer stepped to the deck and demanded to see the papers of the schooner, with a list of her cargo, stores and crew. Without the slightest hesitation the young commander placed a bundle of official looking doenments on the table in the cabin before his visitor, and then stepped back a pace. One after another the papers were closely scrutinized un- til the stranger reached the vessel's clearance. "It strikes me there is something wrong about this. The seal of the Pe- ruvian government does not look just right." "It is as I received it but an hour before leaving port, senor." "How long ago were you in Callao?" "We sailed a week today." "Again something strange, captain, for we ourselves were in that port shortly before that time, and I am posi- tive there was no such vessel as the schooner Chimba in the harbor then." "If you have any doubts as to the honesty of our purpose," quickly -re- marked the captain, "could you not send six or eight men with ne to Val- paraiso. The crew is small, and I will gladly relinquish command to any one whom yon may detail for the service." "It might be better for us to take yon in tow ourselves, but I will lay the matter before our commander. Remain hove to until I return. " Scarcely had the unwelcome visitor left than Isadel emerged from her state- room and joined her brother. "You have done well, Carlos!" she exclaimed. "Now, listen! You mast not let them know we are related. I am limply a passenger. Let two of your best men be armed and placed in my room under my instructions. _Leave the rest to me. Our oaptors will not offer snob an indignity to a Chilean lady as to attempt to enter her private apart- ment." Ten minutes later the boat was again alongside. "Captain," said the officer, "I am ordered to take charge of this vessel and conduct her to Valparaiso, and I re- gret to say you most consider yonreelf a prisoner and keep to your room." "Very well, senor, but rather bard usage for au honest' seaman, I should say," returned the captain. "I have a lady passenger on board, whom I trust you will treat with the respect that is due her station." "Believe me, captain, she shall find in me a gentleman," The armed sailors of the man-of-war went about the work of trimming sail, while those belonging to the schooner were sent to the forecastle under guard. The government vessel steamed away to the northward, while the Chimba head- ed almost duo south. A little later Captain Suarez intro- duced his sieter as Senorita Legere to Lieutenant Godoy of the Chilean navy, and the day wore away most pleasantly, at least to the officer. At midnight Isadel heard the lieuten- ant descend the cabin stairs, and, still wearing his side arms, throw himself npou a sofa to enjoy a little sleep. Nearly an hour was allowed to slip by; then, cautiously lifting tho heavy draperies which concealed the entrance to her roost, Isadel peered into the dim- ly lighted cabin, and two cstalwart forms glided quickly by her. Without the slightest sound the sailors threw themselves upon the sleeper, and Lieutenant Godoy awoke to find himself a prisoner. "Take him to my brother's room," whispered the brave girl. The order was obeyed, and Isadel trewbliugly awaited the result—not long, however, for in a little while her beloved brother stood before her attired in the uniform of the lieutenaut. Tho man at the wheel and the guard saluted the one whom they took to be their officer, but they were quickly un- deceived by finding themselves covered with the revolvers iu the hands of the two sailors. "Surrender! Give up your arms, and you shall live," whispered the captain. The Chileans did not hesitate, but quickly relinquished their weapons. "Now, remain where yon are. Do not attempt to come forward, and remember if you move yon shall be instantly shot!" And Carlos Suarez pointed to- ward one of the cabin windows, through which the bright barrel of a revolver glistened in the moonlight, but he did not tell his prisoners that it was a wo- man's hand that held it. There were only two of the Chileans on deck, three having gond below to sleep. They were easily overcome, and then the captain of the schooner released his own crew, and shortly all his former captors were his prisoners. When they had been disarmed and manacled, the course of the little vessel was changed and before a strong breeze it was flying away toward Iquique. As morning broke land was in sight, and shortly after 8 o'clock the brother and sister, again standing together on deck, saw another steamer approaching. This time the stranger came from the mouth of the harbor. Captain Suarez set bis signals, and the newcomer, not stopping to ask ques- tions, when near enough threw a lino to the little craft and with her astern proudly sailed into port. "Oh, how can I ever again face my countrymen?" groaned Lieutenant Go- doy. "You are with your countrymen now, senor," replied Isadel. "Yon have been misguided and mistaken. Join forces with us and help to plane Chile where she belongs—among the first nations of the world." "No, no!" he replied._ may, as you say, have been misgdided, but I cannot prove a traitor." "I honor yon for those words, senor, " interposed Captain Suarez. "The for- tunes of war have placed you in our hands, where yon must remain until the close of hostilities." So he did remain, but after a few weeks hie captivity did not seem irk- some, fur the lieutenant had learned to love hie fair jailer.—Boston Globe. An Epicure Emperor. The emperor of Germany enjoys the unique distinction of being the only En- ropean sovereign who has ever descend- ed to his kitchen and "bad it oat" with the cook. Coffee has never been a strong point with the Berliners, and it seems that the imperial coffee is no bet- ter than the rest. His majesty grew weary of complaining to officers of the household and one morning actually went below stairs to investigate matters for himself. After the shock of the im- perial presence had subsided, William II, kaiser of Germany, king of Prussia, soldier, sailor, sportsman, poet, painter, theatrical manager, orchestral leader, telegram sender and absolute authority on everything, demonstrated that there was still one more thing that he knew all about, and that was coffee.—Ex- change. Cramped Theater Seats. The managers of theatersaan dommit no greater breach of faith with their patrons than that of condemning them to seats in which bodily comfort and entire enjoyment of the performance are impossible. To sit for 2% or 3 hours in a chair too small to admit of ease and too close to the row in front to facilitate one single movement of relief or relaxa- tion is quite as unfair as to sell tickets to the public on the strength of false statements as to the character of the en• tertainment. .As a matter of fact, we think the average theater goer would rather witness a mediocre show in per- fect physical comfort than to sit through the most admirable performance in a state of physical torture.—Washington Post. TIGER MEN IN AFRICA. A Barbarous Practice Described by n tt'oanan Missionary. Tbo worst rascal in the Frenob Kon- go, as far as I know, is the tiger man. One bag to experience this affliction to fully realise what it moan& I had heard about tiger men and their deeds for some years, but they seemed to be a thing of the past until tltair doings were revived in the spring of 1894. There is a belief among the natives that if ono kills 10 chickens, 10 docks, 10 goats, 10 children, 10 women and 10 men ho will never die, and to gain this desired end people aro murdered by wholesale. Wo lost goats through tiger men in 1890, but as uo person was killed no one paid much attention. The murderer dream himself in a tiger skin and walks on all fours when- ever near persons he wishes to kill, but when alone he walks erect. Small knives carried in the belt of his dress aro the instruments with which these foul deeds are committed. One morning in March, 1894, we were told that a lit- tle girl and her mother had been killed the previous night. The woman was awakened by some strange noise and found the tiger man trying to carry her child away. She Cught for the little girl and was cnt so badly that she died before morning. Tho girl was taken away, and only her hands were found. Tho rest of the body was carried off. The whole country was aroused, but no one geemed to know who did it. Not long after a little boy was killed while camping iu the forest with a lot of older people to gather palm nets. As soon as all was quiet again and the na- tives began to feel sate another case happened, and finally few persons dared to go out after night. During the year 1894, 24 murders came toonr attention. Ono of our former mission boys, a lad of 15, was killed, end onlyhis head was found. We determined then to stop this horrid custom if wo could. We inquired of inflnential men who the murderer was. Every oue of them named the same person, or, rather, two person& We promised that we would not betray the natives and asked the French offi- cial what should bo done. He author- ized ns to arrest the tiger men if we could. We called a big meeting of all the influential men of the county, and of course we sent a special invitation to the tiger men. All the people came, and we soon had the two murderers in our power and sent them to Mayumba. The French agent there kept them locked up a little while and then let them go. It was too much trouble for him to sift the matter, and what did he cure if a few more niggers were killed? While this was going on we lost three goats in one night. They were killed by tiger mon to show their appreciation of our part in the matter. Tbo mea who bad been released never came bank to our country, but went away to another district. Our natives were disgusted with the government because these mar- derers were let go. Shortly after n woman was killed some six miles from us. We offered the - chief our aestetanco, but he did not seem williug to deliver up the man, al- though he had been caught in the act. But the man got his deserts soon enough. Tbo woman was leaving her house in the evening with her daughter. Soon the girl called out, "Father, some one is hurting mother." Tho father came running, picking up a heavy stick as be ran, and ho struck the tiger man across the back, disabling him. After awhile the chief and some others took the tiger man into the bush and gave him the "Sass" wood poison, and when the mu died they threw his body away. The chief told us this was the only way to get rid of the tiger men. There was no nee in taking them to the French. Justice would not bo meted ont to them, and if they were not pun- ished severely they would return and kill more people. Tlis was indeed the right thing to do, as the event proved. It did frighten other tiger men for a time at least, and we heard nothing more of them while we were in the French Kongo.—Now York Sun. South African Chivalry.

A few years ago an English traveler in Turkey reported a case of stealing as it was tried in the courts of that coun- try. Tho Armenian newspapers of that time, commenting upon the case, said that it proved that the testimony of a calf was worth more than that of two Christians. A Turk, coveting a cow belonging to a Christian, succeeded in stealing it. The owner complained of the theft to the nearest judge, bringing a friend to corroborate his story, and he demanded the restoration of his property. The judge declined to believe either the in- jured man or his friend. On this the injured man said, "I have the calf of this cow at a place very near the court, and if your" honor will have the oow brought to the calf and will observe the two together be will imme- diately perceive by their affection for each other that the cow must be the mother of the calf, and this will prove that she belongs to me." Accordingly the judge ordered the oow to be brought to the calf and went himself to see the two. No sooner bad the calf set eyes on the cow than it olaimed her as mother. The judge was convinced and ordered the cow to be given up to the Christian.—Youth's Companion. Patents In Japan. No patent is granted to a foreigner in Japan. No foreign inventor, by ap- plying through a Japanese citizen, can obtain a patent except by fraud. If a patent were obtained by a false repre- sentation that the Japanese citizen was the inventor and it was digoovert:d that he was not, the patent would be :1t once canceled. It is preolaely the saint, with trademarks and designs—there are no registration and no proteotion.

A LONG INSIDE PASSAGE. 18avlgnting the Ocean Among Tboeasada of lathed*. Whatever may be said—and much can be—of the beautinet of the Alaskan ooast, it is nut inviting to the seafaring man, and especially the master who is taking a ship by the inside route from Puget sound to Sitka or Juneau for the first time, a feat, so it is claimed, impoesi- ble of accompiishmeet by it continuous voyage save through the assistance of a good pilot.

The channels proper are of unusual depth. Lt places from 800 to 400 fathoms of water are fre- quently found.

'a'ne Unicorn. The unicoru was ono of the fabled monsters of antiquity. It was, accord- ing to a summary of the opinions of several of the old time writers, a beast about the size of a common horse, but with very short leg& The people of the middle ages believed in the existence of three kinds of unicorus—the magnificent white unicorn, which had a purple face and blue eyes and a single horn a yard in length; the eglisserion, which re. sem bled a gigantic deer and had avers, sharp born growing from the middle of the forehead, and the monoceros, or com- mon unicorn. Tho white unicorn's horn was of three different colors—white at the lower part, blank as ebony in the middle and red at the point Common unicorns were said 'to have had horns about 18 inches in length, but so strong that they could easily kill an elephant. —Si.

MUSIC AND MICE. A Suggestion of a Novel Trap—Effect of Piano Playing on Rodents. Truth of London Inggeests that as mice like mnste there is an independent fortune awaiting the man wbo will in- vent a small mualo box which when wound will run all night, since such a contrive: ac would serve to call mioe into traps and would be to the mice what a decoy hi to a flock of ducks or a looking glass to a tiger. After this sug- gestion, which is not untrue to nature, Truth goes on to say that music that sounds out of kilter to a critio's ears would also drive mice from the house. If the Truth writer had even actually seen a mouse under the influence of mn- sic, he would never have made that mis- take. Neither would he have aald "an accordion would also make tho agile ro- dent desert the house as he is said to desert the sinking t nip." Whether mu- sic affects rate is a question not yet set- tled by students of natural history. As to the actual doings of a mosso wbon listening to music, it has been ob- served that the playing of a piano, even the tum tam of a beginner learning bis first tune, will cause mice) of the oom- mon house variety to run up and down behind the plaster of a house, causing it to rattle in a way fit to disturb the most earnest student. One night ball a dozen persons were gathered in the par- lor of an Adirondack home listening to a skilled player, whit, es a woodsman said, "could make a planner talk," when it was observed that the mice were acting in an unusual manner. Tbo ordinary conduct of mice when they hear piano music is to merely rattle the plaster, but on thin night they squeaked and squealed and rattled the plaster as they had never done before. The rush of the rodents died away after the mu- sic stopped, but it was bourn before the last squeak was heard. One of the human listeners was a boy who had some little skill as a barman - loon player, and be wont frequently to the woods, where, with the aid of the instrument, he euoceedod in calling chipmunks, red squirrels, and on one occasion a woodchuck, besides wood mice, inoluding the door mouse, and tbe smaller birds. The mien chiefly ran about the player, with now and then a squeak, but sometimes a low strain with slight modulations world seem to drive them insane, and ten, without hesitation, they would run over the player as if he had been *stump. The squirrels were less demonstrative. HE MADE THE HORSE GO. A Mild Mannered Maus Simple Method of Curing Balkiness.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT. .THE AMERICAN NILE. The Telltale Trackt on the Tapestry Br trayad Rim. Foto or five Washington pastors were having a pleasant little meeting the other afternoon at the study of one of them, and they were having compara- tively es much fan out of it as that many menders wohki have had at a sa- loon Xnee seep in di varieties Of tipple. They Were telling Sunday school stories, as a rale, but they swung around after awhile to temperance, "In my youth iu Virginia," said the host, "we had, what is rare nowadays— to wit, a lot of more or less seedy and shabby genteel old filows who went about the country delivering lectures on temperance and getting out of it only about so much as would clothe and feed them. Some of them were no doubt good and conacieutious men, but among them were many who, notwitd►statuding their professiorta, clearly loved to take a glass of something warming to the inner man "Most of -thee tipplers were very par- ticular not to have the nunor get abroad that they ever tasted the vile stuff, and when they took their drinks they ob- served great tlecrecy. I remember there was one whom wo thought to be a moat abstomions old fellow, and no one thought he ever tasted a drop, particu- larly a maiden aunt of mind who lived with my mother and was as rigid a temperance woman as ever came out of New England. My mother was much more liberal and wanted always to en- tertain these workers in the good cense, but my aunt itaad become so suspicions of all of them except this particular one that he was the only one who could find a night's lodging at our place. "One night this old chap came to stay all night, and ho had snch a severe cold that my mother prescribed a rubbing of goose grease on hie feet and toasting it in by the fire beton, he went to bed. Now, as it happened, in the room where be slept there was it new carpet which my aunt had presented to my mother as a birthday gift, and there was an old fashioned sideboard iu the same room, with a two gallon jug of good whisky an it, which aem.:bclty-bad fcrgotion to put inside and lock sap. At 8 o'clock the black boy carried in the goose grease to our guest and left him sitting before the fire. "Just what happened after that no- body knows, but after the guest had de- parted next morning and the servants went to straighten up the room they found tracks innumerable between the fireplace and the sideboard, oard, and in some way it was discovtrtd that the old fel- low, afraid of taking mid, had greased his socks and toasted the grease into his feet through then), and 'visile the toast- ing was going on he made r(pilar and frequent trips to the jinx.

Dr. Frank Robinson, of Plainview, is feeling better than ho was some days ago. He has received all of the property stolen from him some time ago, except his watch. The recovery of the property came about in a sin- gular manner. Mrs. Sarah Gibbs is an old lady who has been widowed for several years. Ever since the death of her husband she has kept her residence, although closed up, in practically the same condition as it was at the time of his death, all fur- niture therein remaining undisturbed. The lady herself resides in Elgin, in the family of Dr. Adams. One night, soon after the burglary of Dr. Robin- son's house, her husband appeared to her in a dream, and stated that their untenanted house, in Plainview, had been broken open and the contents greatly disarranged. Next day Mrs. Gibbs was so affected by the dream that she insisted on sending over to Plainview and having the house ex- amined. When the messenger entered they found that the house had been entered and that the furniture had been changed around considerably. In setting the matters to right the property stolen from Dr. F. 8. Robin- son, with the exception of the watch, was found concealed in the bureau drawers. It is apparent that whoever stole the property concluded that the vacant house was a safe place in which to hide it until an opportunity for removing it arose. Mrs.Gibbs' dream is yet unexplained. No arrests have been made.—Wabasha Herald. Cheap Rates to St. Paul.

SUCH 18 THE GREAT RIO GRAISa.., WITH I'M VAGARIES. It es a River of Trentdola Amiblte ao,tt Must Be Sees Nero Than Owe to Ile Un d•reteed—Nowa lea aly Underground, but at Thaw Thera lea Totrrent on Top. "It's a river 1,600 miles long, meas- ured in its windings," mid the man from New Mexico, speaking of the Rio Grande. "For a few mJ;les, st its mouth, light draft steamers run up bum the gulf of Mexico. Above that it'dossn't float a craft except at ferries. In the old days, when New Merino was a pence of Spain, the people along the river didn't even have ferryboats, and the onlyy wap they had of getting across was by itnding. For this purpose a apeoial breed of horses was reared to be kept at the forts, When the liver was too high for these bonne to wade across, travelers camped on the bank and wait- ed for the where to subside. Now there are bridges over the river at the Luger Rio Grande towns, and in other places rope ferries and rowboats aro the means of crossing. "In times of low water a stranger awing its current for the first time would be apt to think slightingly of the Rio Bravo del Norte, as the New Mexi- cans love to call the great river. Mean- dering in a small part of a very wide channel be world owe only *little muddy stream, for ordinarily nine -tenths of the Rio Grande is undergrroand, the water soaking along toward the gulf through the sands beneath its channel. The val- ley, bounded everywhere to left and right by mountains or foothills, is sandy, and the water, percolating the sands down to hard pan, spreads out on each side so that it may always be found anywhere in the valley by digging down to the level of the river's mhos. For the greater part of the year the river above ground Saws wilt and muddy, narrowing as it swirl' round a sand bar and widening over shallows But the thing that strikes the strangermost al queerly is its disappearance together for roaches, many miles in length, of its channel, which, except, it may be, for a water hole here d there, is as dry ea Sahara. The ri L keeping right along about its eta, however, and where a rock reef orelay bed blocks its subterranean current it emerges to the surface and takes a fresh start above ground, running as a big stream which, farther down, may lose itself in the sands again. "It is when the floods come down that the Rio Ovando shows why it /e- quine so big a channel for its all the year round nee and demonstrates that if the waterway were even wider it world be an advantage to residents along its banks. It is fed by a watershed of vast area and steep descent, which is times of rain and melting snows pre- cipitates the waters rapidly into the ohanneL In Juno, when the snow melte on the peaky about,. its headwaters in Colorado and northern New Mexico, and later in the summer, when heavy show- ers and olondbursta are the order of the day, the Rio Grande overflows its banks, deluging wide treats of valley and some- times carving a new channel for itself, changing its course for miles. Where the valley is unusually wide and sandy, as below Islets and in the Merilla val- ley, the old channels in which the river used to flow are plainly indicated in the landscape. "No one who has seen tbo great river in flood is likely to forgot the positive ferocity it seems to display as its waters sweep all before them, and woe to the man or beast who is overtaken by them! The flood arrive'. without warning. The sky may be clear above when the travel- er, leisurely jogging acmes the wide channel, hears his wagon wheels grate upon the sand with a peculiar sound. It means that the waters ars stirring the sands beneath him, and then, if he knows the river, he lashes his horse, making at all speed for the nearest bank, and lucky he is if he reaches it safe. The chanes ane that before he gets there he hears the roaring of waters up the channel =deem them coming down toward him with a front like a wall, rolling forward and downward as if over a fall, with a rising flood behind. Many a man and whole $ won trains have been overwhelmed to this way, and, buried in sands or east away on desert banks, no human eye has ever seen them again, "The great river has its pleasing and romantic aspect, so faacinriting that it is a saying among people who live in its valley that 'whosoever drinks of its wa- ters and departs will Doane again to seek them.' Like the Nilo, the Rio Grande enriches the soil of its valley to the point of inexhaustible fertility. Along its banks in New Mexico are fields that for two centuries have been cultivated yearly, 71e1. ' : great crops, and they are as prod vo today an when they first were tilled. Irrigating canals, call- ed soegnias madras (mother ditches), convey water fnnn the river to bo dis- tributed through little gates to the fields of the valley, which it both waters and enriches. A trip along the river reveals a succession of Wires of a primitive oivillsation of the old Spanish-American type. Adobe villages, with small, fiat roofed houses built about antique ohurobes, and the 'wives hoaassv&be vices, or great mom; embank', wheatSelds and rasing cattle are all features of the emery of the Rio Grande, the American Nle. "—New Gori With an expenditure during the last fifteen years l,y the city of Red Wing of at least $100,000 for street and alley improvement and an outlay by the county during the same time of almost $75,000. a citizen who has given the matter some consideration estimates that there has no doubt been expended in all on road and bridge improvement in this county since 1880 almost, if not quite, $400,000. Including in this he esti- mates of course also the road work done by farmers, but even in that event it seems an enormous outlay when one stops to consider how little we have to show for it. On the whole the highways in this county, both in town and city, are in but little better coudition than they were fifteen years ago and with such an expenditure one could reasonably look for some sub- stantial improvement, Surely these figures in themselves present a strong- er proof than any other arguments can, tbat the present system of road improvement is wrong in principle and wholly worthless in result. --Red Wing Republican.

Clough has made a clean sweep in the otlice of the dairy and food commissioner, the new force being J. A. Lawrence, assistant, of Rice, G. G. Sanborn, secretary, of Ramsey: W. S, Eberman, chemist, of Ramsey, and as inspectors C. L. Smith, of Hennepin, E. B. Williams, of Mower, S. M. West, of Rice, J..V. Wilson, of Ramsey, G. H. Staples, of Dakota, W. W. P. McConnell, of Blue Earth, and A. F. Anderson, of Goodhue. The Sleepy Eye sensation has every appearance of an unadulterated fake. as the price claimed to have been paid for the Brambel patent would buy the right to manufacture all the rotary engines ever invented. .Judge Williston holds that the state capitol was located at St. Paul at the adoption of the constitution, and that the Kandiyohi parties have no ri_*ht in court. Parties in this congressional dis- trict desiring a packet of government seeds should write the Hon. J. P. Heat tt ole, Washington, D. C., at once. The Weekly Gazette to -day is a ten page paper on account of the delin- quent tax list. The joint legislative committee, ap- pointed to inspect the hospital sites at Anoka and Hastings and to investigate with regard to the majority and minor- ity reports of the commission to locate the fourth insane hospital, spent the day yesterday in an inspection of the site at Anoka. All the members of the committee were in the party ex- cept Senators Sheehan and Potter, the senate members who went on the jaunt being Culkin and Young. The committee was met at the station by citizens with teams, and after lunch the site was visited, the committee being driven all over the place, which comprises six hundred and sixty acres. The committee, of course, will not make any statement for pub- lication relative to the impression re- ceived of the site. The land is de- scribed by them as consisting of hilly and level ground, with some three hundred acres under cultivation. The party was driven on the ice of Ruin Riveralong which the site borders. and one of the members stated that the bluffs seemed twenty or thirty feet above the water. The members who seem to favor this site thought that such an elevation argued well for the drainage facilities of the site. Representative Staples, who, it is understood, is favorable to the Hastings site, remarked that he had been informed that the soil was light and not especially desirable for agri- cultural purposes, but refrained from digging through the snow to find out when some one suggested that it would be a good plan to do so. The committee returned to St. Paul last evening, and will inspect the Hast- ings site next Monday. -St. Paul Puffer 11th. The joint legislative committee, ap- pointed to investigate and report with regard to the majority and minority reports of the fourth insane hospital commission. held its first meeting yesterday afternoon in the senate rail- road committee room. Senator Cul - kin. chairman of the senate end of the committee. was elected chairman _ of the joint comtnittee. The com- mittee decided to make a personal in- vestigation of the two sites over which there is dispute -the one at Anoka which has been selected by a majority of the commission and the other at lastings, selected at first by the whole commission, and favored still by the minority in their report. The committee will go to -day to Anoka to investigate that site, and on next Tuesday it will go to Hastings to look over the ground offered by that city, which the minority of the comtnission claims is the best site. If the committee finds that the Hast- ings site is better than the Anoka site and that it would be to the hdvantage of the committee to accept that loca- tion, it will so report to the legisla- ture, but, if on the other hand, it finds that the comtnission selected the best site at Anoka it will report in favor of the selection by a majority of the commission and the matter will be there dropped. If it fails to decide between the two sites, then witnesses will be summoned and testimony will be taken, Representative Staples, of Dakota County, having signified his willingness to act as prosecutor in the matter. The reports of the com- missioners will then be gone into. - St. Paul Pioneer Press, 10th. The legislature will investigate the hatter of the location of the fourth hospital for the insane at Anoka. The people of Hastings should be given every opportunity to be heard, and then unless they can back up the charges they have been making they should forever hold their peace. -St. Cloud Journal -Press.

Douglas Items. humor has it that Otto Hall, living on the James place in Denmark, was injured recently while hauling wood. Marcus Shearer went to Trimbelle Friday and one horse was taken sick two miles from Prescott and he was obliged to leave it behind him. If any one reports the recent row at Prescott masquerade as connected w' -'h Pt. Douglas boys don't believe it, for they were all at Hastings. Denmark may have been in it, but not Pt. Douglas. Let all the people read The Still- water Gazette articles on trading at home, and try to realize how pros- perous Hastings would be if all the holiday (and "'tlthier -day)- porehasee were made at home. Denmark and Pt. Douglas turned out big and bad a dance at F. A. Thompson's, in Hastings, Friday night. That crowd had good staying qualities, and used up two sets of musicians and went home happy at five in the morning. - Rich Valley Items. Miss Sarah Jack is in Minneapolis visiting friends.

A committee has been appointed in the legislature to investigate the action of the commissioners in choos- ing Anoka instead of Hastings as the location for the fourth insane asylum. That affair will yet cost the state more than the erection of a hospital at each place.- Waseca Radical. R. C. Libbey, of Hastings, an ex- tensive lumberman in these parts, came up and left for his camps about thirty miles above this place. He was accompanied by N. H. Danforth. -Mora Times.

A remarkable Memory was made a few years ago Ili the sandstone rock at the Nevada state prison. The "find" was considered wonderful not only from a geological standpoint, but from an ethnological point of view alba While the convicts at the institution were unearthing some huge blocks of stone they uncovered some peculiar in- dentations in one of the slabs Closer investigation proved that these queer marks were the tracks of some gigantic boast of antediluvian time -perhaps a mastodon or a mammoth. When the startling intelligence was announced to the prison officiate, they had tho sand- stone slabs containing the tracks care- fully cleaned, whereupon another won- derful discovery was made. In the same pieces of stone, sometimes at the side and sometimes between the tracks, made by the great prehistoric beast, were a series of human footprints, which proved conclusively that man and the mammoth lived not only at the same time and in the same age, but that the huge beast and the man had passed that way dur- ing the same year, and perhaps on the same day. Those wonderful relics of a bygone age were found in a quarry at t depth of about 15 feet from the eurfaoe and had previously been covered with a stratum composed of hundreds of tons of stone -the accumulation of the ages that had intervened between the date upon which the tracks were made and that upon which they were revealed to the scientists. Expert geologists who have sineo passed an opinion on the matter say that at the time the tracks were made that which is now hard sandstone was, a mucky deposit of soft sediment, probably the border of a lake, where the man had been fishing, and where the mammoth had Dome to bathe at drink. -Mt, Louis Republic Ihsalae Wet Pupalar.

There are those who would W that a bachelor has no business to be oomplete; that it is the duty of every young man to marry at the earliest practicable mo- ment and so give over the selfish joys 01 bachelorhood. But as loelg as young mea in them lamentable desire to be comfortable refuse to look at the matter in that light there is need that they should be duly instructed in the proper- ties of their position. and what better instructor could they hare than the anonymous genius who writes of things "As Seen by Him" in that very fash- ionable publication, Vogue? It 1. he who tolls them what "the complete bach- elor" should bo, and if they are wise they will listen to his words. All the contingencies which arise in the social life of the bachelor are duly considered. First, there is the matter of his public manners, in which man,v men who re- gard themselves as well brod aro woo. fully deficient They will smoke in the street, keep women standing on cornea while they talk to them, sit while wom- en are standing, carry sticks or umbrel- las at offensive angles, stare women out of countenance at theaters or hotels, and in general make nuisances of them- selves. Now, a bachelor who will do any of these things is wretchedly in- complete. Then Domes the question of clothes Nothing more distinguishes the gentle- man than what he wears. Nor is it enough, as many do, to bo nice in the matter of gloves, shoos or cravats and owe large sums to the tailor. Dressing is not so much a matter of money as a matter of taste. After a man has put his wardrobe in proper oondition be may get along remarkably well on a very small yearly sum Our author does not disdain to give economical hints, to tell how the tailor around the corner will do perfectly well some things for which the "swell" tailor would charge roundly, to explain how to get out of a snit the utmost possible service. Bach things are beneath no man's attention, though he be a genius or a millionaire. Until the art of dressing properly is un- derstood, the moral progress of society will remain an idle dream. We need not add that tho man who wears a "made tie" belongs in the outer dark- ness alt barbarism. It is gratifying asset to note that the use of the Tuxedo, err house coat, is earnestly recommended. Since every complete bachelor will in- variably dress for dinner, he will find in the Tuxedo an economical and easy substitute for the more rigorous fall dress coat, and ono that can be worn not only at home, but in informal com- panies of gentlemen and at the theater or in a public restaurant We note that our author. speaks a good word for the black tie with a Tuxedo, though he does not absolutely bar a white one. This is a question upon which no thoroughly satisfactory ruling has ever been made. For our own part, we think that those occasions whereon a man feels a white tie incumbent also demand a "swallon tail" coat. The toilet is not less important than the dress. Scrupulous care in this re- spect is certainly the mark of a oocn- piete bachelor. That a man should take his tub every morning goes without say- ing. At the same time there is no need to insist upon the rigor of the game and asy that the water shall be cold. Tepid water is beat. "Every man should learn to shave himself." These aro golden words. A barber is occasionally ntores- sar'y no doubt, but there is something offensive to refined sensibilities in the picture of a long row of men in chairs having a part of their toilet performed. Our author says nothing of the habit of having boots blacked in the street, just- ly regarding it as one so bad as to be unspeakable. Patent tooth powders, washes, pomatums and nostrums of every kind aro condemned without re- serve. This, too, shows good sense. The care of toilet articles is rightly insisted upon. A man cannot bo s complete bachelor unless he is welling to take some trouble. Tho custom of wearing the hair long is disapproved No point is too minute for the consid- eration of this thoughtful writer. The etiquette of cards is a matter upon which lamentable ignorance} is often displayed, and in calling and di out there are those.who show the tt of breeding. Tho practioe of grasping or squeezing the hand of a lady fa (bar- ring exceptional circumstances) unad- visable. "A man removes his glove from his right hand on entering the drawing room, and holds this, with his stick and hat, in his left The hat should be at an angle, the top about level with his nose. " This is important. But some- thing more than mere politeness is re- quired of the complete bachelor. His goodness of heart will come out in his treatment of his servants Though he mast "exorcis) an iron will," he must also "encourage them now and then.by a kind word.' And onto in awhile they most have a holiday or some cast off ey, in their turn, should be "noiselesT and automatic." Buoh things too many young Vona forget With this book, however, they cannot go very far astray. They can learn how to behave at danoes and at country hooses and at dubs. It it be that on these subjsots gentiansn do not need instruction. the retort is obviates.

Muffling themselves ('lady in their furs, they hurried to the little waiting room, which was empty save for a peas- ant, whose face was hidden by the lap- pets of a large fur cap, and who was carefully inspecting tho advertisements with which the room was hung. After a few moments of breathless silence, during which the countess could not re- press her violent trembling, Baron Hederich von Egidy entered hurriedly, a rush of cold air following him. "Ah, I havo kept you waiting!" he cried, clasping the prmn,esi' hands in both his own and frowning at the peas- ant who stood with his back to them. "My horse fell, and I was delayed. How good of yon, Irene! How 8111111 I ever prove my gratitude to yolk for your sac- rifice?" "By taking the traiu for Paris, baron, that is duo iu ten minutes and remain- ing in that pleasant city," said a voice behind them. And, turning, they both recognized iu the peasant the elector of Insi'lland. Von Egidy started back with an oath, but the princess made a profound courte- sy, saying mockingly, "Since when has your serene highness added the role of detective to your many accomplish- ments?" "Since I have found it necessary to protect my honor and yours, madame," was the answer, and the princess flushed and bit her lip. There was a painful silence, only broken by the unrestrained sobbing of the countess. The baron fidgeted with the cap he had taken off when he recog- nized the elector and threw imploring glances at the princess, whose eyes were resolutely fixed upon the floor, but her lips were smiling. The elector regarded the baron with open contempt. "The carriage is waiting," he said at length, offering his arm to the princess, but turning to Baron Hederich she said, "What do you advise one to do?" "I think, madame, that yon had - better return, " replied the baron weakly, and to his bewildered mind it seemed that her smiling face was not that of a woman whose brightest hopes had end- denly been shattered. "Ah, baron," replied the princess amiably, "your advice is sounder than your protestations, I fear!" But a sting lay behind her words, and Von Egidy winced. Still sniffing, the princess took the elector's arum, and the slamming of a carriage door sounding through the still air as the Paris train rumbled in the distance told the baron that his house of cards had tumbled about his feet and that ho was an exile. The return journey to Zatunhof was performed in silence, and it was only when they reached the foot of the grand staircase that the princess spoke. "Is it up or down, sir," she asked flippantly, her foot upon the lowest step, "to the deepest of your dungeons or to my apart- ments?" "The Countess von Vogel will conduct you to your rooms, madame, " the elector replied coldly, and bowing profoundly he disappeared down a corridor. s s s a The next morning a letter was brought to the elector from the Princess Irene asking for au interview, and with a grave face the young monarch immedi- ately went to her boudoir, the Countess von Vogel leaving as he entered. The princess rose to receive him with a shy awkwardness in her manner that he had never seen before, "I know you must be thinking very ill of me, " she said, looking away from him as he stood with his hand resting upon a table, "and now that everything is over I -I want you to know -that - that -I am not so foolish 118 I appear to have been." "I am afraid that I do not grasp your meaning," the elector said coldly. Tho princess moved nearer to him, and as she came itfto the light he saw that her eyes were swollen with weep- ing. "It is very hard to tell you," she said, her voice breaking, "yon aro so cold, but I felt I could not leave Zatun- hof without telling you that I never had any intention of eloping with Baron von Egidy." Tho elector started. "What was your object, then," ho said, adding with a kinder note in his voice, "in allowing matters to go so far?" The princess blushed, then grew pale. "I cannot tell you," she stammered. For a moment the elector looked at her intently. Then crossing to her side be took her face between his hands and looked into her eyes"I think I under- ttand, " he said softly. "Irene!" And as be put his arms around her she buried her head on his shoulder, passionate sobs shaking her slender figure. "I never knew you cared," the prin- cess said later as they were sitting in the window seat "I -I liked you from the first. You were so different from other men. But you always were so cold, so reserved, and I felt that you would 'lever love me -never." "And you were so merry, so bright, Irene, that I felt yon could never think me anything but a dull and tedious bore, but" - "Yes, there are a great many 'buts,' " interrupted the princess with a touch of her old gayety, "and I must make my confession.

Put to dry in a place free from dust. It will be dry enough iu three or four hours. Place the retouching frame on 0 table by a window with a good strong light, close the blind or lower the shade over the upper part of the window and pine a sheet of white paper under the frame ou the table. Place the negative in the frame, and over it put 11 pierce of opaque paper with a hole an inch or two in diameter opening over the place to be retouched. This also protects the film and shuts off all light except from the points to be treated. Now, if the hole is a large one, take the brush and moisten it and rub a little of the lampblack from the cake of water color on it. Then with the greatest care touch the spot directly in the (enter with a bit of the paint. Rinse the brash, and, turning it till a fine point is obtained, work the paint carefully toward the edges of the spot, taking care that it does not touch the film, but comes close to it.

During Bayard Taylor's visit to the zoological gardens in London he notioed a hippopotamus which lay in its tank apparently oblivious of itis ttarroandinga. Entering into conversation with the keeper one morning, he was told that tho creature refused to oat and was gradually starving itself to death. "I fancy it's homesick," added the keeper. "He's a fine specimen, and it seems a pity we should lose him, but he's moped over since the keeper who had charge of him on board the atoamer left. He pays no attention to anything I say." Learning that thecreatnrocame from a part of Africa he had once visited, Mr. Taylor, on au impulse, leaned for- ward and addressed it in the dialect need by the hunters and keepers of that region. The animal lifted its head, and the small eyes opened. Mr, Taylor re- peated his remark, when what does Mr. Hippo do but paddle slowly over to where he stood. Crossing to the other side of the tank, the experiment was re- peated with the same result, the poor thing showing unmistakable signs of joy, even consenting to receive food from the hand of hie new friend. Mr. Taylor paid several visits to the gardens, being always noticed by his African friend. Finally, before leaving the city, be taught tbe keeper a few sentences ho had been in the habit of addressing to the hippopotamus and went his away. Two years later ho was in London, and, curious to know the result, again paid his respects to his amphibious friend. To his surprise the creature rec- ognized his voice at onoo, and expressed his joy by paddling from side to side of his tank after his visitor. Bayard Taylor Rays that it convinced him that even a hippopotamus may have affections, and tenacfoaf ones at that, as well as agood memory. -Watch- man. 21 Amrdona valets.

It is an alcohol lamp, like a section of braes cylinder, five or six inches long and an inch through, and with a slender tube two or three inches long, holding the wick, projecting at one end. The lamp- lighter comes in at the front door of the car with his lamp lighted. With a rapid ease acquired by experience he lights the six tamps, seeming almost not to pause in his progress through the car. If he is in the last car of the train, as he pulls down theehimnoyover the last lamp he has lighted and turns toward the rear door he blowsout his own lamp and drops it in his pocket His hand! are now free. Ho throws back the door, walls out upon the platform, opens the gate and steps off upon the station platform or down upon the other side, ready to board the next train. A touch of a match will light the alcohol lamp. -New York Sun. The Whipping Pest In Boston. Alice Morse Earle, in an article vo "Punishments of Bygone Days," found in Tho Chapbook, after giving John Tay- lor the Water Poet's rhymed desorip- tions of corporal punishment in London, explains how rapidly flogging came into use i11 Boston : The whipping pout was speedily in full force in Boston. At the session of the oourt held Nov. 80, 1080, one man was eontenoed to bo whipped for steal- ing a loaf of bread, another for shooting fowl on the Sabbath, another tor swear- ing, another for leaving a boat "with- out a pylon" Then wo read of John Pease that for "strykiughis mother and derydiug bor he 'halt* whipt," Lying, swearing, taking false toll, perjury, selling rum to the Indians -all were punished by whipping. Pious re- gard for the Sabbath was fiercely upheld by tho support of the whipping post In 1849, Roger Butt, for "repeated sleep- ing on the Lord's day," and for strik- tug the person who waked him from his godless slumber, was sentenoed to be se- verely whipped. Women were not spared in pnblio chastisement "The gift of propbeoy" was at once subdued in Boston by lasbes, as was unwomanly otleriaga.

The germs of this disease cannot ob- tain u foothold nutil tholesiistive pow- ers of the tissues have been reduced. There must be not only the seed, but the soil. This impaired power of resistance may be the result of heredity, and this influence in the causation of disease is seldom shown to better advantage than in the history of conaamption. There have been instants -s in which a single case introduced into a long and sound anoestry how vitiated the stook forever. How unfortunate that each matters are so little corwidt:.red in marrying and giving in marriage! It Is not that the disease is inherited, but the vulnerable tissues, the feeble resistive powers, ren- der the offspring an easy prey to the ubiquitous bacillus. This weakness often shows itself by a tendency to become ill from slight causes, a sickliness not by any means to be confounded with merely a lack of robustness or strength. One organ or part of the body, frequently the moons membra:, is madly more Toone to become kfe,cted, atidthe begin- ning of the disease cal) often be traced to an attack of some 4ight.a4gsetlt. Not only the ohildren of consumptive parents may ahow these characteristics, but also those of pareuts generally en- feebled, or whoee ages are widely sepa- rated,or who are closely related by blood, or of a mother who has previously borne a number in quick succession. Even when heredity in sound the same condi- tics is sometimes induced by coddling, by improper feeding, by attacks of acute disease or by want and distress. In gruwing children a bad carriage of body may act injuriously by contracting and deforming the chest.

A Fitting Memorial of the Poet at Port- land, Hoa Birthplace. One of the ls'st instances of what the statue of tiny groat loan should be—at any rate, iu the respect of its situation, its perspective withrsgard to other me- morials and the !god estimation in which it is hold—i:s the statue of fellow at Portland. by Mr. Simmons. It is a dignified seated figure of the poet in bronze, occupying a oon- epionous site in the best part of the town, in the middle of a square which is now known as Loi:gfellow .quare. The statue wee raised a few years ar by a fund solicited through a wide field, but chiefly obtaiued, I believe, in Port- land. The sculptor was chosen through that curious' local spirit which has af- fected unfavorably many of our taruhi- teotural and other monuments He was avowedly selected became he was a "Maine man, " though he had never seen the poet. However, the result in this case Seeui,a to have been happy. Tho stage has lunch beauty, and the like- ness is said to be eutellent. This status minutia in the poet's native town, as is entirely proaer. It may app -- peal every day to the eyes of thoaeaade of young people, born very much as he was born, who should see in it the sug- gestion of possibility for them. Poetio- ally it make* the stranger fancy the genius or spirit of the man .till linger - among the scenes of his youth, and it symbolizes the satisfaction whioh ev- ery man feels to have his name remem- bered in his native town.—J. E. Cham- berlin in Atlantic. A Strong Room. At Eltham, the late Colonel North's Neat, there is said to be one of the stron- gest of strong rooms In the world.

He took in the *nation at a glance, "Let's clear this thing out," he said They jumped on the counter and pro- ceeded to "clear it out" by first bun- dling out the postmaster. Then they be- gan a careful examination of the post- o!$oe and found it congested with mail for the army. They 'searched every nook and cranny, throwing the letters for each regimwut into a different pile and heaping tip all the newspapers in the center of the room. Than they went through each pile and separated it into companies. Before night every letter was in Damp and distributed, and the next day the papers were out Nourse did not know the name of his oompanion in the benevolent deed, and when he aaked the answer was, "They call me Charlie." Some time after Nourse found it necessary to see the commandant, and, sitting near the tent to which he been directed, he saw his companion of the postoilloe, "Hello, Charlie!" he said, "I'm looking for the commandant, Where shall I find him?" "Well," said Charlie, "you 'qm't have to look far. I'm the commandant. Come inside and have a bit to eat and drink." It was Lord Wolseley.—Youth's Com- panion, A Valiant Invalid.

Department stores have advanced for- tunately in both the quality of the goods sold and the amount of the sales, The business of eoveral smoants annually to from 37,500,000 to 315,000,000, and this, roughly speaking, fa as much mon- ey as many a prosperous railway 1,000 miles long handles in a twelvemonth. One great store in tho west carries a rent account of almost if not quite 3400, - 000 a year. Tho Mail order business of another amounts to 3900,000 a year. A number of houses send to the homes of their customers more than 80,000 pack- ages in a single day, while perhaps as many more are carried away iu the hands of the shoppers. In the busiest d.ays quite 100,000 persons have visited eaoh of the very largee6 stores of Now York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Brook- lyn. One firm spends more than 3800,- 000 a year for advortiaing, and single departments in several stores sell more than 38,000,000 worth of goods annual- ly.—Samuel Hopkins Adams in Scrib- ner'a Deems In Florida. A lady traveling on the South Flori- da railroad one night soon after the yel- low fever scare was heard to exclaim: "Just look there! Tell me about not having yellow fever In the piny woods! Why, we've been running through a graveyard for an honrl" She had been looking out at the white painted corner stakes of an embryo city gleaming in the moonlight There were hundreds of moh towns in south Florida, in which thousands of lots were mold in good faith and in the hottest belief that they world soon be the centras of wealth and popu- lation. Others were mapped out for the .gess purpose of oatoblng "suckenc, Some hunters found a "ditty" in a cy- press swamp 60 miles from a railroad and a day's journey born any human abode.

The trials and tribulations of the whaling industry defy the meager jus- tice which the resources of a single par- agraph affords. A volume might oover the subject, The difficulty about whal- ing is the uncertainty of whales. These mammals decline to be regulated by any signal service reporter and refuse in their migrations to respect preosdent or the ambitions of the arctic oil works. The consequence is a skipper may oraiae the northern latitudes, trying oonolu- tdote with icebergs and polar bears, en- dangering life and limb in a mangy old tub, encountering the perils of storm, wave and Eskimo, and all without sight- ing a spout or capturing a pard of whale- bone. I listened recently to the mourn- ful reminisoenoea of Captain Green, a hardy marinerof much experience, who after many years of laboring at the oil industry retired to a raisin ranch at Fresno. Owing to the decline of raisins, however, ho took to the ooean again, euipped a vessel and sailed into the lat- itudes of winter. There he found an an- tique steam whaler, the Reindeer, and for two long and weary years they have kept each other oomin the close knit sisterhood of misfortune. Once dar- ing the second year they sighted a whale, and Captain Green encompassed its capture. A bowhead it was, and no great prize. Tiring of cold, salt and 111 luck, the twain decided ' at last to go south for rest and provisions. They started together, when something broke on the Reindeer, and she was condemn- ed to delay until the damage might be repaired. How the gallant skipper cursed the :misfortune which detained him among the icebergs! How he railed at fate! Two days later a school :of whales hove in sight. The baptain and crew dashed upon them and in four hours had killed a dozen giants, which meant at ruling prions at least 300,000 worth of whalebones. However, it often happens in the arctic, as in the world, that the darkest moment of misfortune is the dusk that preceded the advent of prosperity.—San Francisco Wave. Homing Pigeons. When pigeons were to be sent back and forth, it has been naval to keep two seta, with their respective homes at either end of the course, and when they have reached their homes to carry them back to the places from which they are to be dispatched. An ingenious proms has been devised to ovoroome this diffi- culty and can.o the birds to fly with equal certainty in both directions. Pi- geons, for example, whose home is in Paris are oonfined for several days at St. Denis and fed there at a stated hour every day with some favorite food which is not given them at their real posse. They beootme in the worse of Unto fa- miliar with their new - home and its choice dishes. When set at liberty, they start off at once for Paris without for- getting the good things they enjoyed at St Denis. When they are to be sent back, they are made to fast a little while, and are then let loose at abort feeding time at 6t. Denis. They go thither, and, when they have their own way, time their going so as to be there at the exact moment of feeding. Birds have thus been taught to flyback and forth regularly between places 80 miles apart. —G. Renaud in Popular Science Monthly. *Made In Germany." Apparently ono of the chief results of the idiotic "made in Germany" act is to render importers of foregin goods specially anxious to pass themselves off as British manufacturers, says London Truth. Here is a good example: The label round a matchbox extensively sold in London and the provinces bears a sort of trademark in the shape of a sailor's head, with the legend "England's he- roes" and the following inscription in red and black letters: "Manufactured by Martin Harris & Co., Ltd., Stratford. London, E. "Support English Workpeople only by using English made matches." This covers three sides of the box. Thefourth is covered by a piece of sanded paper to strike the matches on. Remove this paper and you find under- neath the further and still more interest- ing notification, "Printed in Germany'." Bow Be Answered Them.

One of the most pleasant and en- joyable affairs of this season was the reception given in honor of the Ree. and Mrs. M. R. Paradis at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Van Auken, on east Fifth Street, Tuesday evening, by the parishioners of the Presbyte- rian Church, the guests present num- bering about two hundred and fifty, representative of the various churches, all uniting in extending to the new pastor, who arrived recently from Renssalear, Ind., a most hearty and cordial welcome to our city. The joint legislative committee, ap- pointed to investigate the report of the hospital commission, arrived here in a special from St. Paul Monday afternoon and were landed directly on the grounds, where they were received by a committee of citizens, headed by Mayor Parker, and driven over the beautiful tract. Upon the return of the committee they were moat cordially entertained at The Gardner, and partook of luncheon. The previous claims regarding our hospital site were made apparent to the committee by its unsurpassed lo- cation, the splendid water power, the opportunity for drainage, the fertility of the soil, its picturesque beauty and attractions, all going to make up an ideal and delightful spot, which could not help but elicit the warmest ex- pressions of admiration with the vis- itors. The trip was made from St. Paul to the proposed asylum site in thirty-seven minutes. All the mem- bers of the committee were present, excepting representative Douglas, of Moorhead. They returned to St. Paul at 6:20. !teal Estate Transfers, F. W. Lenz to A. G. Bahr, part of lot three, Lawton's Garden Lots, West Eft. Paul $ 600 IA FEMALE MEMBER. EVERY GANG OF COUNTERFEITERS I1A8 CONTAINED A WOMAN. It is a Weakness of the Sea, and They Are Frequently Very Clever—Some of the Women Who Have Been Convicted of Making and Passing ',queer" Money. Women have a weakness for counter- feiting. The first person ever executed for that crime was a woman. She was an Englislt woman named Barbara Spen- cer and was put to death In 1791 for making fahw',pilling& She was stran- gled and burned at the stake. Curiously enough, her accomplices were acquitted. Nancy Kidd was one of the most re- markable female counterfeiters ever known in this country. She belonged to a family of noted forgers. She carried on her nefarious trade for more than 80 years in Chicago, and was arrested there many times. Ou one of these occasions a lot of fiber paper was discovered on her person. Tho government officials were oompletely at it loss to know hot4 she had obtained this. Finally she oon- fased that a chemical solution had been used to waah the faces of the notes and make them perfectly Olean. Thus she was in the halait of taking $1 bills and changing them into larger denomina- tions. The government authorities re- leased ber in return for this valuable information and for telling them what the solution woes. However, they had her Shadowed by detectives and fleetly caught her with $17,000 worth of mna- terfeit money in a box. She was found guilty npou seven different indictments for counterfeiting and was sentenced to eight years its the state prison, where she finally died. One of the cleverest tricks ever played on Uncle Sam was invented by a woman who lived in Philadelphia Her plan was to take $lo and $20 goldpieces and with a email drill worked by steam power to born out the insides and then refill them with some base metal, being very careful that they should weigh ex- actly the right amount when she had finished. This she accomplished by drill- ing through the milled edge of the coin, end then, after tilling the hole, cover it with a little of the extracted gold. In Vile way 8110 made $7.50 on every e.Agle and about $16 on every double eagle. The officials of the secret service say I that this is the Barest device ever in- vented for cheating the treasury. Oonnterfeiting is very apt to ran is) families. This, of course, is natural, as a father brings up his son or daughter to follow his profession. Women who would otherwise be good are often led into this sort of crime by marrying men who carry it on as a business. But some- times it works the other way—women teach their husbands how to make faire money. This is what happened when Ben Boyd married Mary Ackerman of Indiana Her father was one of the most enccesafnl counterfeiters of his day, and his daughter had a thorough ac- quaintance with the art. Mrs. Boyd carefully taught her husband all the se- crets of the trade, and he became one of the most famous forgers of the age. They carried on the business with such a high degree of skill that they were nut captuscti his years, and when at last the secret service Hawkahaws did run them down not a single counterfeit plate, note or coin was found in their possession. When their house was searched, $8, 000 in good money was found. This small amount was all the money they had accumulated daring all their years of crime. Of course the offi- cers could not touch it. Afterward mai- oient evidence was secured to convict them, and. they were sent to prison. They both claimed to be converted while in state prison, and after their release settled in Chicago, where they appar- ently lived an honest life. A case that annoyed the secret service very much was that of a woman who employed a clever dodge. She went to a large shop and selected a valuable shawl To pay for this she handed the olerk United States treasury note for $1,000. He took the money and disappeared, not returning for several minutes. When he came back, eho asked him why he had kept her waiting, and he confessed that he had taken tho bill to a bank near by to be erre that it was good. Sho pre- tended to be very angry and said that she would not buy the shawl on any so - omit and walked out of the shop. A little later in tho day she returned and said that as she could not field any other shawl that united her as well in the other shope she had decided to take it in spite of the insult offered her. She gave him the $1,000 bill, and, getting the shawl and the change, left the shop. The owner of the shop afterward disoov- ered that the note he finally aooeptted was a counterfeit. The first bill had been good, but on her return she gave him the false one, which was a won- delrfully clever imitation. The secret servioetwas much agitated about this and several others of the $1,000 bills which turned up, but they have sinoe daptured the plates, Practically every gang of counterfeit- ers ever arrested nag had women asso- ciates.

A powerful and ferocious bulldog, owned by Dr. Ward of Scranton, Pa., 1 • the distinction of having a big p d dlling in one off his incisors, and a good many citiaeas, who have caught a gleam of the gold lilt tela mouth, wonder how the Ailing was done. Some think -it was done through Itypgotto influence by the doctor over the dog, while others insist that it was through the dog's im- plicit obedience to his master's com- mand. The bulldog's name is Gem. He is as ugly in appearance u a prize winner 1n a dog show. His more blamaes of wrin- kle*, and his eyes have a wicked gleam for any one but hie master and Mrs. Ward. His affection for them, however, Imam no bounds. When Gem was dia. covered one day duping bis muzzle be- tween his paws, roiling over and oyes on the floor and moaning, his mouth was examined, and it was found that there was a big oavityy in ono of the in- cisors. It was decided that a dentist should be consulted. The dentist found that it would be neoeasary to nett it rub. ber dam, and he promised to All the cavity provided Gem was otherizted. This was done, and the operation was oonsldered a suooessfn1 ono, although Gem evidently thought otherwise. Some time afterward the filling come out, and Gem's last state was worse than bis first, for he refused to submit to another operation with ether. At the tient sniff of the ansesthetio he not only added a score of wrinkles to those already iu his nose, but showed his teeth in so danger- ous a way that the dentist refused to proceed Dr. Ward insisted that he could make Gem stand on the table and hart the tooth filled without wincing. The dentist was dubious about trusting hie hand between the bruts'p jaws, but finally commuted to t Gem was put on the table, and his master stood in front of him, kept his eyes fixed on Gem's and told him tc open his month. Gem did so, and a rub- ber dam was soda adjusted in place. The dentist sot to work with the instill, ment of torture called tt bur, and one Of Gem's ears went down in a threaten- ing way, while the other remained cock- ed. The doctor held opo finger raist'd and kept his eyes fixed on Gem's, that never wandered ftom his master's gaze. The attitude of Gem'R ears proved a barometer of his enferinge when the bur touched a spot close to the nerve. When both ears went down, the dentist knew he had gone as far Eta dogs' nature would let him go. (tom's eyes neves wandered from the doctor's in the 1 ei hours the dentist was at work. Gem stood the final polishing, and when his master gave the word for hish to get down from the table Gem danced with demonstrations of joy at hie release. Since that day he has no trouble in masticating the biggest beef bond. — New York Snn. Pictures of Rousseau and Rome. "Tbe portraits of Rousseau and Htune are historic.

Again we !i:1ve convinced the inajority of a committee that it is for the hest in- terests of the state that it should I,x ate the fourth :asylum for the in- sane at this place. It is hut an honest conviction derived from the fact of the advantages with which na- ture has f:tve,re l us. Moreover, it is our candid helicf that if the whole state were :tyle to view the sites in question, a hearty approval of ours tyOil ld be proclaimed. The joint house and senate committee, to in- vestigate 1lo' o1ion of the commission in its award of the site to Anoka, met Wednesday lay evening, and after a long session decided to make the following report • •'That. all things considered, the site at Hastings is the best for the interest of the state." Those vot- in;* :u the affirmative were senators �heeh;u,. Young: representatives B.trta. Staples. Kendall, and Douglas. iii the ne,ative. senator's Culkin, Pot- ter: representatives (licks, Shell, and Dare. All the evidence, however, _given by the expert engineers was overwhelming*ly in favor of our ideal and beautiful site.

It is well that this should be looked into as it is 0 matter of very serious import to the people of the state at large. `1f this act of the commission to locate the fourth hos- pital in reconsiderin,e-. without good reason. its unanimous vote. is upheld the legislature. it will open wide the door for the most shameful deals in the location of other state institutions which are sure to he needed :at .some future date. if it is on,_•e fairly understood that an unanimous vote locating a state institution at any given place is not final. and is not expected or in- tended to be, but is simply a notice to other localities that the commis- sion or a majority of them are willing to reconsider their action whenever sufficient political or other kind of pressure is hroug,ht to hear to induce them to (10 so. then indeed will we have reached a point in the history of Minnesota to which our people cannot refer without a sense of shame and degradation. The following are extracts of testi- mony given by an expert engineer: Second Assistant Engineer G. L. Wil- son. of St. Paul. was the first witness called. Ile stated that he had looked over the ground at Hastings and had found that front any part of this site the drainage facilities were most ex- cellent. the Vermillion River running near. The river, ti' said. had ample flow to carry away :all impurities withoutcaus- ing any damage to contiguous property. He stated further that if the time came when such an ;ulvance in science is made as to make it worth while. the sewage matter could be retuned by irrigation in a satisfactory manner. and that the land was well adapted to receive such fertili- zation. Questioned byJudge Hicks,of the committee. as to what soil or rock would have to be cut through in order to lay sewer pipes. he said that it would not re- quire much tunneling, as there were several ravines running. to the river down which the pipes could be laid, and that they need not be laid more than six feet deep, which would be through soil only. The fall would not require the pipes being laid so deep, as the flow would be rapid enough to keep the water from freezing in the winter time. He would say that connections could he made with all the buildings for about $1,000, as an outside estimate. Mr. Wilson was then xlues- ttoned in regard to the stone on the site. He replied that he had examined the stone, a large quarry of which was on the site. and he felt that no better stone, of the kind. could be had for building purposes. "It is it particularly hard limestone," he said. "and I have inspected buildings in Hastings maple of the stone that have been standing thirty- years and more, the stones of which still show the marks of the tools that chopped them, so hard are they. It is dolomitic sandstone, which is much less affected by the elements than the Trenton sandstone, commonly used for building purposes. Engineer Wilson was again called by request of Representative Staples, to tell what he had learned from an investiga- tion of the Anoka site, and especially with regard to that site. He said that there was nb perceptible fall in the river from the Rum River to the Mississippi. Mr. Wilson referred to the typhoid fever epidemics. and say that they were id all instances caused by sewage, and said that from levels he had run it was not only possible, but probable, that sewage emptied into the Rum river immediately below Anoka might back up and con- taminate the water above the city water pipe, which would furnish any citizen at any time with the right to enter com- plaint W prevent such a condition of affairs. Mr. Wilson then. in response to inquiries, stated that it will be necessary to sink the sewer pipe an average of thir- teen feet in order to get the necessary pitch for the flow, and that it would have to be carried below the dam. In regard to the sewage being carried Into the Mississippi River and the possible con- tamination of the drinking water of Min- neapolis, Mr. Wilson said: "The time will come soon when it will be necessary for the cities of Anoka and 8t. Cloud to cease emptying their sewage into the Mississippi river." Mr. Wilson said that he had estimated roughly the cost of the sewer, and that it would be at least $.5,000 from the nearest part of the city, to take it in the most direct route through the city, but if the asylum buildings are located on the northern part of the grounds, the cost would be double that, or more than $10,000. Mr. Wilson said that there was no place on the Anoka site where the sewage could be used for fer- tilizing purposes by irrigation and at the same time drain the overflow into the river. Representative Hicks—Is there enough high ground on the southern extremity of the site, nearest to the city of Anoka, on which to place two thousand cottages? Mr. Nilson—I think that it would re- quire quite an amount of grading to do so and have it possible to run levels for se wage. Representative Hicks—is that not true, also, of the Hastings site? Mr. Wilson—No, sir, I do not think that is so of the Hastings site. On May 1st the Soldiers' Home, at Minnehaha, will discharge all married men who are not sick or disabled. The laws governing the home provides that it is for men without families, but married soldiers sick or disabled are permitted to come to the home for treatment and are allowed resi- dence there during their disability. An act has passed the legislature fixing the fees to be paid in all the courts of the state for naturalization certificates at one dollar each, for either the first or second papers. Heretofore our clerk has only been allowed to charge fifty cents, while in other counties the fee has been two dollars. Most Rev. Thomas L. Grace, • for- merly bishop of St. Paul, and latterly titular archbishop of Sinia, died at the former City on Monday, at the age of eighty-three. He was conse- crated bishop of this diocese in 1859, succeeding Jeseph Cretin, the first bishop. Gov. Clough has named F. W. M Cutcheon, the well known St. Pail attorney, as member of the board et managers of the Minnesota Sate Training school, to succeed C. H. Petitt, whose term has expired. At the annual meeting of the G. A. R. encampment, held in St. Paul on Wednesday, E. B. Wood, of Long Prairie, was elected departmenttom- mender, succeeding Capt. J. J. Mc Cardy, of the former city. The jury in the $20,000 libel suit brought by John Lind against the St. Paul Dispatch were unable to agree after being out twenty-four hours and were discharged. _—r Hastings Masonic Mntnal Association.

The people of Hastings have take appeal to the legislature from the u accountable reversal of its first form and deliberate decision by the com I32188lon appointed to select a fourt hospital for the insane. In response to that appeal a joint committee o the house and senate was appointed to examine the two sites offered re- spectively by Hastiugs and Anok and report upon their comparativ merits. The committee has perform ed that duty and decided by a m jority vote that the Hastings site originally selected by the committee is far better suited to the purpos than the other. The result of th examination was to show that the is, in tact, no comparison between th two sites in point of physical adapta tion to the requirements of a hospital It is admitted, by all who have visit- ed both, that the Hastings site is a ideal place for a hospital. There i no site for a public institution i Minnesota,—jt is doubtful if there i any in any other state—which is so favored by nature, or which compre bends so many beautiful features an and economic advantages. It is a natural park. A fine stream. th Vermillion river, cuts its way through a picturesque gorge of rock, furnish ing an abundant supply of pure water It is broken by cascades and rapid which would furnish an excellen water power, ample to run all th electric lights and machinery of th hospital. It embraces quarries o limestone of the finest quality fo building purposes. It possesses ad mirable drainage facilities. It com mands a beautiful prospect. In all these attributes the Anoka site seams to be sadly lacking, I has ne reliable supply of pure water its only reliance being upon the un known quantity of artesian wells. I has no water power. It has no quarries, nor are there any in its vicinity. It is wanting in drainage facilities. It is destitute o picturesque natural features. The testimony before the committee and even the admissions of the witnesses called in support of its claims made it evident that it was an unfortunate selection. The comparison is so greatly to the advantage of Hastings that it is impossible to comprehend upon what grounds, which will bear investigation, a majority of the com- mission could have been persuaded to reverse their original preference for the Hastings site. The only grounds given f r this strange proceeding on the part of the member of the com- mies responsible for it, was that a r having voted for Hastings he found that the people of the counties northwest of Anoka preferred the lat- ter as being nearer to them. It was iprobably in reference to this position that a member of the legislative com- mittee, while agreeing that the better site of the two was that offered by Hastings, and that all things con- sidered it was best for the interests of the state, tempered this conclusion with the qualification that he thought Anoka was better situated geograph- ically for the purpose. A more fanciful and unsubstantial ground for preferring Anoka cannot well be con- ceived. All the geographical con- siderations involved are those which relate to the convenience of patients and their friends and to the transpor- tation of supplies. In other words, it is a question of accessibility. far as this is concerned, both sitar stand substantially on the same level, or would do so it the Anoka people carry out their pledge to furnish rail- road facilities to the hospital. At present the Hastings site is the more accessible of the two. Anoka cer- tainly has no advantage over it in this respect. The claim of geograph- ical superiority for Anoka is simply preposterous; and this eliminated it has no claim left entitled to consider- ation. For the sole remaining ques- tion is which is the better site of the two, and as to that there is no room for difference of opinion.—Pioneer Preis. We certainly hope the legislature will not let the normal schools pull the wool over its eyes again this ses- sion and make off with extra large appropriations. The normal schools are all right in their place, but the high schools of the state are now doing such good and effective work that the normals should be made to confine themselves solely to fitting these high school graduates to become teachers. We don't need a kinder- garten school at a normal school.

Emersea's "Lmerieaa Scholar Emerson has left behind him nothing stranger than this address, "The Amer- ican Scholar." It was the first applica- tion of his views to the events of his day, written and delivered in the heat of early manhood while his extraordi- nary powers were at their height. It moves with a logical progression, of which he soon lost the habit. The 'ab- ject of it—the scholar's :dation to the world—was the passion of his life. The body of his belief is to be found in this address, and in any adequate remount of him the whole address ought to be gi Dr. Holmes called this speech of Em- ersdn's our "Intellectual Declaration of Independenoe, " and indeed it was.

In doing what is wrong he always be - gine an abject coward, gaining courage with impunity. Tho mere fact that a European would walk straight through a crowd of the bludgeon men, jostling against them in an unoonoerned manner, convinced them that for some reason he was not a safe man to attack. In some oases Armenians walked safely h the mobs on the street simply hy- ing their way with a determined air. In every case where an Armenian ran from them, or even hesitated on meeting them, his only chance of life was gone. Tho tentative character of Tnridah ag- grosalone is not sufficiently borne in mind. At the beginning of a wrong even a sultan will draw back when he sees that his course is resented by one whom he knows to have the right and believes to have the force to do so. —Yvan Troshine in Scribner'=, Grant's Demerit* as a Cadet.

"My oharroesl" Yes, that is what my niece called them before she walked from my drawing room, holding her head very high and bestowing a con- temptuous glance at what she considered my old maidish surroundings. "Your chances!" she repeated, and, returning to her two cherubs, left me to my fate. And now, as I sit here alone, let me face the question once for all. First, and most awful for a single woman, I am not old, but far, far worse—[ hate the horrid word; I am middle aged. It is very hard to confess, but I was 35 upon nay last birthday and unmar- ried. Not from any want of good looks, for I have, or had, more than my share. Nor did I lack admirers, for until late- ly they were numerous. There is not much comfort in quoting "a man is as old as he feels, a woman as old as she looks." Still I can recall the incredu- lity with which my pretty niece regardeG me whFn I met her advice about a moat bewitching and becoming, but, alas! too youthful hat, with a bland statement of my years. With a curious stare at me, she answered, " Well, but, Aunt Bar- bara, you never look more than 25, so that it really does not matter." Still the dreadful fact remains—I am 35. Before I lose the spirit of subdued meekness to which Jane's candid state- ments have reduced me I will tell over my "lost chances," as she mercilessly recounted them. "Ever since you were 18 or so, Aunt Barbara," began Jane, "yon have turned up your nose at and snubbed every one of your lovers, and of course other girls married them. There was George Mac- kenzie, tall, good• looking, jolly and in an excellent position." / Here I lose myself in a reminiscence of George an break in with the words, "Do yon remember the night he told ns of his visit to Spain and his experience with the donkeys?" Instantly Jane crushes me with the remark, "I am ,hinking of how a big donkey treated L,m, and I can see his haggard, drawn face as he said 'Good - by' to ns so suddenly one summer even- ing.„ And my heartstrings tighten as I, too, remember that night, which was the last of my happy girlish ignorance. For next day brought with it a story, which they tried to keep from me, but I learned of his disgrace, his sin and his cowardly flight to escape it all. Thus did my hero fall. "I always thonght it strange he never wrote to you,” continued Jane. But I did not tell her of the letter that years ago I had cried over for two long nights, then burned unopened. "Leaving out Willie Trail," Jane's merciless voice begins again, "he was too young for you, and therefore doesn't count. Then there was Frank Smith, the ugly, but clever literary man. You know, Aunt Barbara, yon did not treat him well, for you really induced him to dance after yon and read original poems to you for a whole year. Then you al- lowed the little red haired girl to marry him." "Yes," I am goaded into answering, "and she was welcome to take him." He was too domineering, and I felt that if he improved my mind much more it would hive been improved out of exist- ence. "My dear Jane, you don't know how I enjoyed myself after that year of culture?" "Nonsense!" retorts Jane. "Yon would not have had to keep it up after you married him." But I think of Frank's strong, ugly face and secretly hug myself over that "last chance." "Then there was the Rev. Septimus Green," went on oandid Jane. "You know, Aunt Barbara, you might have married him." "Jane," I exclaim, "he preached at me from the pulpit!" But Jane merely answers, "He would not have done it after you married him, and if he did se- lect texts and apply them to you it only showed his eagerness." I could not see the force of her reason- ing, and, with some asperity, assured her that I looked upon this "last ohanoe" as a lucky escape. "After him came Barry Summers," she resumes in a very reproachful tone, and I am goaded into asking her if ebe has been keeping a diary; but, disre- garding my gibe, she continues: "I met him in Buchanan street the other day, and he is getting fat. I never could understand what yon quarreled about, for you were certainly treating him better than any of the others when it all stopped." I gaze away from her pretty, matron- ly figure and think, as my hands tighten their clasp on each other, of that weary, weary time when it "all stopped." It was jest about the time of Jane's wedding, and Ned, ler husband, who never liked Harry, sakd that my lover had boasted of his being acceptable to me ou account of his father's wealth. How could I ever have believed him guilty of such a contemptible remark? Yet I did so and cut him dead in the street. I will never :erget how he looked as I gazed straight at him, then pawed on. That is 12 years ago, and I have seen him exactly seven times since then. The last time was quite recently. One day I happened to enter a oar and sat down beside him. He looked up from his paper, but 1 was gazing out at the opposite window. After a long glance he looked down again, but, with a guilty joy, I saw that one paragraph held his eyes all the way. Even then it was not too late, if I had only spoken; but, no, I was determined to be a fool, and when I reached my street left the oar seemingly unconscious of his pres- ence. I am conscious that I have never given him a chance to explain, but the only comfort I have—and it is a slight one— he has never married. But has he for- gotten it all, or does he, as I do, think of the old, happy times with regret? But I am brought back to a eenee of the present by Jane prononnuing a new name with special emphasis. While I have been lost in the past she bas been piling np my iniquities in the shape of every man with whom I have been on friendly terms during the last ten years, including the poor unfortunate who ran away from his bride. In vain I declare that I was not to blame. Jane calmly informs me that I encouraged him and that people talked. Of course people will talk, but I have no qualms of conscience. Still Jane goes on, and at last she has reached Mr. Carson. I wince at the name, for here I have a guilty feeling that 1 am not quite free from blame. My pride had been piqued by his evi- dent indifference, and I had laid myself out to be agreeable, with the result that we are now very good friends. But Jane comes in again with her merciless common sense and sums it up thus: "He is your last chance." (How I hate the word!) "Ho is not bad looki is clever, sensible and in a comforta position. Besides, be is only two mon younger than yourself, which is prao oally no difference." "Poor Mr. Carson!" I ventured put in. "Is he 85 too?" But uothi would stop Jane or turn her from b pupose. "You have only to give him a lit euooaragemout," she went on, "and you don't the widow will marry hi Remember, you are no lougor young." (Ye gods, here it is again!) "Your beauty is going off, and in another year you will be quite steps. Encourage him a little, just as I used to do with Ned. With your experienoe"-, But at this stage the worm turns. I oan bear no more, and with the refrain, "Your last chance," ringiug in my ears, the door is closed, and I ani left alone. What am I to do? Ought I to take Mr'. Carson, my "last chance?" Or shall I go on making a fool of myself over a man whom I have not spoken to for the last 12 years? Poor Harry! Why was I no obdurate? Next afternoon, with Jane's candid, even cruel, expression, "last chance," still ringing in my eare, I went out to make a few purchases. At the corner of oar street I stepped into a car, when, ah, horror, whom should I sit down be- side but Harry Summers! He looked at me very hard, but I 'tared straight out at the opposite win- dow. Unluokily, my umbrella dropped on the floor. Instantly he picked it up, saying, "Allow me, Mier Watson." I thanked him and stole a glance at his face. "Charming weather?" he remarked. "It's dreadfully wet," I returned. 1 mean it'a delightful!" I gasped in horror at my mistake, for the day was lovely. My veil was down, fortunately, and might hide my blushes, but I had no time to recover myself, when he saki, with the utmost audacity: "Wo have not met so much of late, Mies Watson? Can you tell me if that is your fault or mine?" I was quite taken aback by his ques- tion, but managed to articulate the only word I could think of—"Nod" At this moment the car stopped, and then I thought of Jane, and with a smile and a pleasant "Good moruing" harried out. Scarcely had I reached the pavement when Harry was at my side with the words: "Your umbrella, Miss Watson," which I had moat unfortunately left lo the oar. Again I thought of Jane, the merci- less, and smiled and thanked him in quite a friendly way, expecting that he would hurry after his oar. Instead of that he walked on at my side and began talking as if we bad been meeting every day for months back. I must admit, even if Jane were here, that I forgot everything and became quite happy. At a jeweler's window I stopped to admire a lovely diamond bracelet, when Harry said, "I never pass this shop without remembering something that happened long ago." I glanced up in his face, the hot blood mounting to my oheeka, for I felt the crisis had come. "Twelve years ago 1 bought a ring in that shop. Would you like to see it, Miss Watson?" ho asked. I thought of the horrid words "last ohanoe," and looking up in his face an• swered with a very faint "Yes." Taking a small case from his pocket, he opened it and held it before my °yes. I could not but admire the ring, for it was lovely. Then Harry said: "Bar- bara, it was meant for you. Try if it will fit you now." "Yes, Harry," I managed to reply. I am certain that Jane herself did not give Ned more encoaragemept than 1 did Harry, for 'pulled o8 my glove and allowed him to slip the ring on my fin- ger, and that was all. After a little Harry said quietly, "We have been a pair of fools." "No," was my answer, "I have been the fool; yon the victim of my folly!" HE GOT THE MILK. A Story Showing the Sympathy and ala. pitchy of Professor Child. Twenty years ago the writer, with tole ber 8 -year-old child, was on her way to lbs Washington iu midwinter. Instead of reaching that beautiful city early in the mo=oing, as wuus expected, the train was stalled in the night by it terrible bliz- p° Bard. After the height of the storm was er over it took hours to dig away the heavy snow that buried, not only the rails, but the whole world apparently. Slowly and laboriously the locomotive crept on, and wo were still 200 miles from Waah- ingtou when the church clock struck 8 in a village where we halted. Men jumped np to son if there were time to get a cup of coffee; nervous and anima women clarnorecl for tea, and I Pried with the rest, "Oh, if only I could get a glass of milk for my little girl!" "Im- possible," ,said the brakeman, who was passing through the car; "we shan't be hart' but a minute. " Pa>Lying no herd to his words, a gen- tleman of striking appearanoe, whose fine face and head I had been silently studying, hurriedly left the car and dis- appeared upon the enowy platform. "He'll got left," sneered the brakeman. The train moved on, fooling its way through the huge white batiks on both sides. The gentleman had evidently been traveling alone, for no one seemed anxious because ho did not oome back. The cars wore hardly in full 'wing, however, when he jumped aboard, a lit- tle out of breath, dusted with snow, but self possessed and calm, holding care- fully a tall glass of milk, which he gave to the woe girl beside me. My stam- mered thanks for such unexpected kind- ness from an unknown traveler he brush- ed away with a wave of his hand. "But the glints?" I insisted, knowing it could not be returned, as wo were now thun- dering onward. "Is yours, madam," he replied, settling himself into his seat, paying no more attention to us. But later in the course of the dreary fore- noon he motioned to the little lass to oome to him, which she willingly did. He lifted her to his gide, and with his arm round her she coddled up against him, and for two hours he whispered etories into her ear, so low that no one else could hear, but the delight of which was reflected in her dancing eyes and smiling lips.

Presently a lady and gentleman got in, and I gave my seat to the lady, leaving the old gentle- man standing. immediately a young lady sitting in one end of the herdic called to her little sister, a child of 6 perhaps, who was sitting near the door at the other cud, to Dome to her and give her seat to the elderly gentleman.

INCANDESCENT LAMPS. Bow the Burned qsa >ilaaeat May Be Replaced and Renewed. It has been generally "apposed to be a fruitless task to attempt the renewal of a burnt out incandosoent electric lamp, although there appears to be some eco- nomic fallacy involved in the destruc- tion of what is except in one small if important partioglar a perfect pieoe of apparatus. It is not intended, as a rale, to give in this column descriptions of American devioes or achievements drawn from foreign publication. This subject has, however, been taken np by the English journal, Industries and Iron, and, although it states that an American prooesa for renewing these lamps atter the filament has been bro- ken has been developed, it does not give the name of inventors nor state that the process has come into anything like gen- eral application. Its description of the operation is therefore given for what it is worth. It states that a commercial 'nooeas has been made of a proms for renewing burned ont lamps which renders possible the nee of the old bulb at a very alight expense. By the new method the polar, or bare end, of the lamp is not disturb- ed, the old filament being removed and the new one placed through a small hole in the lamp bulb made by removing the tip. Tho small hole is subsequently clos- ed exactly in the same manner as in the cane of the new lamp, leaving nothing to indicate in the flniabed, repaired lamp that it had ever been opened. It is stated that some 400,000 lamps have been repaired by this method, the filament being inserted through the mall hole referred to by a skillful twist of the hand and secured in position by a special carbon paste. The black deposit on the inside of the bulb is removed by fitting -the lamp to the holder and re- moving it in a gas furnace, while im- mediately fo this operation a small glues tubo is to the opening made in the bulb, through which the lamp is exhausted. When this hes been done and the last traoe of air and gas absorbed, a blowpipe flame is directed upon the throat of the tube, which is melted into the point exaotly in every respect a counterpart of the original lamp. —Providence Journal. The Well Dressed Maas There is a certain professor in a Cer- tain nnlvenity of the United States who once, at the beginning of one of his lec- tures on fine arts, got on the subject of the kind of pins worn in the neokties of young college mea. Be was a good lec- turer and was always interesting, but this lecture was the most interesting of his coarse to the 800 boys who heard him, and the whole hour was spent on necktie pins, their use and misuse and what they suggested. The gist of what be said was that there was no more reason why a ‘W+y ahonld wear a horse- shoe with a wap across it all in gold than that houses should have sieves for roofs, and that as it was extremely fooliah to pot a big sieve on your house for a roof so it was quite as foolish to wear horseshoes on your neckties The prinuiple of this is that you abould have a reason in what you wear as well as in other things and that senseless decora- tions, like horseshoes on neckties or neckties on horseshoes, are silly and nn - becoming to a self respecting person. is particular example was only one llustrate a prinoiple, whioh is that .thing nnntual, queer, out of the or- dinary, is in itself a good thing—that, in fact, most things that are queer and out of the ordinary are likely, in the question of dress, to be in bad taste.

Psnad pkiht A pathetic and yet charming story is told of the origin of the well known hymn, "Bled bo the tie that binds," which was written by Rey. John Paw- oett, an English Baptist, who died in 1817, having spent nearly 60 yearn in the ministry. It was in 1772, after a few yeast repent in pastoral work, that he was called to London to succeed the Rev, Dr. Gill. His farewell sermon had been preached near Moinrgate in Yorkshire. Six or seven wagons stood loaded with his furniture and books, and all was ready for departure. But his loving people were heart- broken. Men, women and children gath- ered and clung about him and his fam- ily with sad and tearful faces. Finally, overwhelmed with the sorrow of those they were leaving, Dr. Fawcett and his wife sat down on one of the packing oases and gave way to grief. "Oh, John," cried lira. Fawcett at last, "I cannot bear this! I know not how to go." "Nor I either," returned her hus- band, "and we will not go. The wagons shall be unloaded and everything put in its old place." His people were filled with intense joy and gratitude at this determination. Dr. Fawcett at onoe sent a letter to London explaining the ease, and then resolutely returned to his work on a sal- ary of teas than $200 a year. This hymn was written to commemo- rate the event. When Mr. °offing, a missionary at Aintab, in Armenia, set out in 1860 to explore the Taurus moun- tains, he was to penetrate an entirely new and dangerous field. This fact was fully realized by the inhabitance of Aintab, and they gathered to the num- ber of 1,500 at the roadsides and bade farewell to the mleaionary and his fam- ily in the Armenian words of this hymn, written nearly a oentury before by the devoted Yorkshire preacher.—youth's Companion. Took the Law Literally. A very ignorant but well to do citizen from the backwoods was elected coroner of a small county. A few days after his election he amazed the ordinary by ask- ing that functionary to point out his duties for him. "Why," said the ordinary, "when a man drops dead, or it killed by an ea• gine, or blown up with dynamite, you simply impanel a jury and sit on him and then render a verdiot." "That's jest what I done two hours ago," said the ooroner, "an the citizens air kickin!" "Makin abort what?" "The man what I sot on." "Well?" „Well, you see, hit was thio away: He drapped by the railroad thar an hol- lered out, 'Boys, I'm dead!' " "Well?" "I was utandin within three feet of him, an as he hollered them words I jumped him. " "Jumped him?" "I mean sot on him, jest like the coroners air required by law, an, as I weigh right smart, be kepi party quiet after I landed. " "But be was dead before yon reached him, wasn't he?"

As far es I hare studied the OWLS. hood of maim it commonly shows itself lees in performanoe than in character, and, alas, not agreeably. The future genian is often violent, ferooioaa, fond of solitude, disagreeable in society. The great Der Gueselin, the soourge of the English invaders of France, was a most odious boy. His parents had to make him dine at a table apart. He was rude, forlorn, a bully; he beat ev- ery boy he could lay hands on; he ran away from home; he led companies of peasant children against other compa- nies; he was the terror of the neighbor- hood and tho ugliest page as he be- came "the ugliest knight in France." This was the boyhood of a great mili- tary MMus; the boyhood it was of a lit- tle savage. Scott's childhood was noisy. He yell- ed old poems at the top of his voioe. He loved the lonely hills. He read forever, when he was not wandering alone, and he remembered anything that he read. He was a dreamer, a teller of romances to himself. He delighted in fighting, as did Heats. He studied everything ex- oept his books. Hie enthusiasm for po- etry made a lady reooguize him for a gen• ins at the age of 6, but his father thought he would end as a strolling fid- dler. Napoleon, again, was sullen, lonely, a dreamer, and always "spoiling for a fight," like Du Gneeclin. 'Unluckily, sullen, dreamy, pugna- cious boys are not at all uncommon. They do not beoome Scotts—not that he was sullen—nor Du (3neaclins nor Na- poleons nor Byrons—for Byron, too, was a passionate, lonely, morbid kind of boy, with terrible fite of temper.

The general in chief, Grant, talked for some time with oMoen of the staff about the results of the battle of the previous days. He said in this connec- tion: "All things in this world are rela- tive. While we were engaged in the Wilderness I ooald not keep from think- ing of the flan fight I ever saw—the battle of Palo Alto. As I looked at the long line of battle, consisting 111? 8,000 men, I felt that General Taylor had such a fearful responsibility resting upon hiss that I wondered how he ever had the nerve to assume it, and when, after the fight, the casualties we reported and the losses ascertained t^e nearly 60 in killed, wounded and mitering, the en- gagement assumed a magnitude in my eyes which was positively startling. When the news of the victory reached the States, the windows in every house- hold were illuminated, and it was largely instrumental in making General Taylor president of the United States. Now, Rich an affair would scarcely be deemed important enough to report to headquattere " He little thought at that moment that the battles then in progress would be chiefly instrumental in making the commander himself pres- ident of the United Staten—General Horaoo Porter in Oentury. .4 lemons Palace. The Chateau de Rambouillet, which is now the favorite residence of the president of the French republic, has a history remote from the literary fad of the eighteenth century which has made the word Rambouillet significant of an epoch of French culture. It was in this chateau that Francis I breathed his last and Charles X was deserted in his death. It is not generally known, how- ever, how Louis XVI became is propri- etor. Until 1785 Rambouillet belonged to the Due de Penthievre, grandson of Louie XIV and Mme. de Montespan. Louis XVI wished very much to possess it. This desire became a fixed passion, which was augmented by his dislike of is owner. But one day he declared, "Tiro possession of Rambouillet world be the happiness of any life. " To which the duke graciously replied: "God for- bid that I ahocld be the cause of your unhappiness.

P. good deal of space was taken by an article to relation to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I did nut at that time know what they were supposed to cure. I should have paid no attention to the article had l not caught the name of a lady whom I knew. Reading, I found that she, in similar circumstances, had been greatly bene- fited by the use of Pink Pills, and knowing her as I did 1 had no doubt of the truth of the statement that she had authorized. The first box was not gone before I saw a change and the third had not been finished before all signs of my rheumatic troubles were gone to stay. I say gone to stay,' for though there has been every opportunity for a return of the trouble, I have not felt the first twiqge of it. I have wheeled thousands of mfles and never before with so little discomfort. I have had some of the most severe tests of strength and endurance, and have come through them without an ache. For ex- ample, one afternoon I rode seventy miles, preached that night and made fifty miles of the hardest kind of road before noon the next day. Another instance was a ' Cen- tury run,' the last forty miles of which were made in a downpour of rain through mud and slush. ' You should think I would recommend them to others? Wella I have, and have had the pleasure of seeing very good results in a number of instances. Yes, I should feel that I was neglecting a duty it I failed to suggest Pink Pills to any friend whom I knew to be suffering from rheumatism. The Rev. Wni. P. F. Ferguson, whose pic- ture we give above, wi not he unfamiliar by sight to many readers. A young man, he ha. still had an extended experience as foreign missionary, toucher, editor, lecturer and pastor that has given hint a wide ac- quaintance in many parts of the country. In an interview a few days ago he said "In the early summer of '94 I went upon a tour through Canada on nuc wheel. My route was from Mica to tape Vincent thence by steamer to Kiu_ston, znnl from there along the north shore otthe lake to Toronto and around to Niagara Falls. 1 arrived at Cape Vincent at 5 o'clock, having ridden against a strong head wind all day.

I rode a good many miles during the rest of the season, but never a day and seldom a mile without pain. " The winter came and I put away my wheel, saying ' now 1 shall get well,' but to my disappointment I rw worse. Some days me knees almost forbade walking and my ankles would not permit tate to wear shoes. At times I suffered sever, pain, so severe as to make study a practical impos- sihility, yet it Inns- he understood that I concealed the condition of affairs as far as possible. From being local the trothfa began to spread slightly and my anxiety increased. I consulted two physicians and followed their excellent advice, but without re.ult. So the winter passed. One day in March I happened ,o take iy my hand a newspaper in which a THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN WHITES. BORO, OF wI.ICH REV. WM. FF.RGCSON IS PASTOR. " No, that is not the only disease they cure.

A MARRIAGE SCHEME. My scheme was that a marriage should be arranged between Uncle James and Miss Stubbs. Not that it was my busi- ness in the least, but that did not hinder me from interfering; nor that I thought the chief parties concerned were at all suited to each other—I never troubled my head about such minor details. I have always been fond of interfering with other people's affairs, not for their good at all, but simply for my own pleasure. I have the greatest sympathy with people who put their fingers into neighboring pies, provided they confess they do it for their own enjoyment and pot for the advantage of the pies. Men do not kill foxes for food, but from love of sport. Women interfere with their neighbors for exactly the same reason. Put your fingers, dear ladies, into one another's pies, by all means, but re- member that it is the finger, and not the pie, which derives pleasure from the operation. Having so much to see after in important matters, Providence seems sometimes in need of local agencies to manage minor affairs in remote country districts—at least so I thought in my young days—and I was more than ready to undertake the office of Providence's local agent. Therefore I decided that Uncle James should marry Miss Stubbs. We met Miss Stubbs while we were traveling in Switzerland. She was a lit- tle, timid, washed out old maid. Her besetting sin was gentleness. She was too gentle for anything. Once when my brother Tom was a little boy he was naughty, and mother thought her wisest course lay in the proverbial soft an- swer. Tom born mother's soft answers as long as he could, but he was but youthful flesh and blood after all, and naughty at that, so at last he exclaimed, "I wish, mother, you wouldn't be so silly and gentle!" Mies Stubbs always made me recall that early remark of Tom's. She was so very "silly and gentle." Then she add- ed to her gentleness gentility, which is also a trying virtue to onlookers. What with her gentleness and her gentility, she spoke so softly that one could only hear half that she said, and that half was by no means stimulating mental food. She had pale hair and pale eye- lashes and pale ideas, but underneath all that the sweetest, most unselfish nature that woman ever possessed. At first I laughed at her, she seemed so dull and colorless, but as I grew to know her bet- ter I discovered many virtues and no faults in the faded little woman. She took a great fancy to me—because I was so young and strong and full of life, she said—and told me all her dreary history. Her parents were gentle people of good family, and late in life her father came into a small estate for which he had been waiting for years. But the estate was so greatly impoverished and so heavily incumbered that he was ruined by his succession to it, and he died of the disappointment, leaving his wife and only child with a miserable pit- tance, while the estate, which was strict- ly entailed, passed on to a distant cous- in. Mrs. Stubbs survived her husband several years, but now she, too, was dead, and Miss Stubbs was as lonely as she was poor. There was something very pitiful to me abort Miss Stubbs. She seemed to have missed all that makes life worth living, to have sat alone on the bank while the stream flowed by, and it has always seemed to me sadder to die of starvation on the bank than to be dashed to pieces by the current. "My dear," she said to me one day when we had become intimate with each other, "don't say you want to see life— seeing is dreary work. I never wanted to see life—I wanted to live life. But I have never done either." I took her thin little hand in mine and stroked it. "Were you unhappy when you were young?" I naked. "Oh, no, not unhappy, my dear, but not happy either 1 I am not complaining, for every one was very kind to me and ready to give me little scraps of their lives to share, but no one seemed to realize that I wanted a life of my own." "Poor Mies Stubbs!" I whispered. "It is kind of yon to be sorry for me, my dear Madge, but really I am not complaining. I have had a very peace- ful lot compared with many women. But I have always had the feeling that there is such a great deal to be got out of life and that I have somehow missed it all. There is plenty going on some- where, but I am always out of it." "I think I know what you mean—it is dull to sit in the boxes when one wants to be on the stage." "Exactly, and I have never even had the boxes. I have had to be content with the dress circle." "But did you never fall in love?" I asked, with extreme boldness. The pale blue eyes filled with tears. "Yes, dear Madge. And I shotild like to tell you about it, only there is noth- ing to tell." "Oh, please tell me as much as there is, even if there is nothing!" I coaxed illogically. "Ifthere were more to teu, amine 1 shouldn't mind so much," said Miss Stubbs sadly. "I'd rather have a sad story than none at all. As it is, I haven't 'even the right to be unhappy. That isn't, of course, equal to the right to be happy, which some fortunate wom- en have, but it is better than uothing. Why, Madge, my youth is over, and I have nothing left to remember it by— not even a love letter. I thiuk if I had had just one love letter, that I could keep always and read over and over again, I should be content, for then I shoals feel that I had one flower left out of the summer of life." "But do tell me what happened?" I urged "Noticing happened. I dbco met some ono whom I loved very much, and I think he loved me, but I am rapt even sure of that. I sometimes fuel I'd give everything I have if I could only be sure of that, but I'm not: Ho was a young man who bad his way to make in the world, and my dear father—as I have told yon before—thought a great deal of our family and position and consid- ered the man I loved was not good enough for me. So ho just put a stop to our friendship." "And yon tamely submitted?" "What else could I do? My dear father was a very stern man, and I dared not disobey him." And as I gazed into the timid face I realized that poor Miss Stubbs had not needed much coercion to make her give up her day dream at her stern father's command. "What was your lover like?" I asked. "Oh, my dear, he was the handsomest man I ever saw, with such attractive manners!" she replied. "Was he tall?" I asked. Being 5 foot 9 myself, I had a profound contempt for little men. "Yes, dear, and each a find figure— nice broad shoulders, you know, and a splendid carriage!" I could not help wondering bow a fine, handsome man could have fallen in love with such a colorless nonentity of a woman, but—as I have frequently noticed—there is no accounting for tastes. I was filled with pity for poor Miss Stubbs. It seemed so sad to go through life without ever really living, as she had done, and thus it was that my great scheme ooeurred to me. What a good thing it would be if Uncle James would marry Miss Stubbs and so give her some comfort at the end of her life! I said comfort because I was afraid happiness was no longer possible to her. That had disappeared forever with the vanished fairy prince of her youth. Bnt a com- fortable old age is not a thing to be de- spised, and at present the little woman was poor and desolate. I felt that Uncle James was an inadequate substitute for the last hero whom Miss Stubbs had de- scribed to me, but, on the other baud, what man with the smallest pretension to heroism would throw the handker- chief to a plain, frightened little spin- ster of an uncertain age? Uncle James was mother's only broth- er. He was a worthy, middle aged bach- elor, rather ahort and increasingly stout, and was the apotheosis of commonplace respectability. He possessed a kind heart and a dogmatio manner, and he lived chiefly at his club and thought a great deal too much about things to eat Tom said that his highest feelings were aroused only by pork chops, but Tom was always rather severe on Uncle James. When my uncle didn't talk about the food at' the club, he talked about shares and investments, so it was no wonder that Tom and I thought him rather an old bore, though we were al- ways kind Whim because he was a rela- tive. This, then, was the victim I yearned to offer upon Miss Stubbs' shrine, and I divulged my scheme to mother. Mother laughed. "I should be very glad for your uncle to marry," she said, "as it worries me to think of him all alone, especially when he is gouty. But how could yon expect him, or any other man, to fall in love with that faded old maid?" "Oh, I don't expect him to fall in love!" I replied. "Ho is far too old. But I should like to see Miss Stubbs comfortably settled, and I am sure she would be a good, peaceful little wife. Besides Uncle James isn't exactly the sort of person to win a beautiful prin- cess for his bride." "Poor James! And yet ho had his beautiful princess once, like other men. " "Toll me about it, mother. Yon don't mean that that prosaic old uncle of mine was ever in love?" "I do, though. He was dreadfully in love once, years and years ago. He used to tell me a lot about the girl, and how happy he would be if only he could win her, though he hardly dared to hope she would ever look at him. I never knew exactly what happened, but he wrote to me saying that the thing was finally at an end and begging me never to men- tion Annie Lorimer's name to him again. And I never have done so." "What a pretty name! Was she pretty too?" "I never saw her," replied mother, " but James used to say she was Iovely— a dainty, exquisite, fairylike girl, as fragile as a bit of china, with golden hair and blue eyes and a lovely com- plexion. She danced beautifully and was just the type to attract James, who had always been accustomed to big, strong women." Mother is quite as tall as I am, and my grandmother was even taller. "Poor Uncle James!" I said. "It is funny to imagine his caring for any- thing except pork chops and safe inveet- ments. " "He cared enough for Annie Lorimer five and twenty years ago," replied mother. When our Swiss trip was over and we were settled at home again, I induced mother to invite Uncle James and Miss Stubbs to pay urs a visit at the same time. She said it was an absurd arrange- ment and would lead to nothing, but she sent the invitations nevertheless. Fa- ther and mother always let me do as I like and have the things I want because I am the only daughter. Girls with a shoal of sisters don't get nearly as much of their own way as I do. People always think more of an odd cap and cancer than of a whole tea set, and yet I some- times think it must be jollier to be one of a tea set, after all. "You aro too fond of acting as au amateur providence, Madge," mother said, "but I don't mile:. helping you tilik9Ritta„ Mother always stays "this once" about kind things she has done ever, day in the past and will do every day in the future, but she seems to think that the expression protects her from the well founded charge of overindulgence. So Uncle James and Miss Stubbs came to stay with us. My uncle arrived drat, and as he sat with mother and me in the morning room he naked, "Is any one else staying with you, Jane?" "Only Miss Stubbs," replied mother, "and she arrives this afternoon. We met her at Lucerne, yon know." "Oh, some girl that Madge took a great fancy to, isn't elle?" "I took a groat fancy to her," I an- swered, "but she isn't a girl. She is quite old." "What a nuisance!" said Uncle James in his sharp manner. "I hate old wom- en, and old maids especially. " "You won't hate her, James," said mother soothingly. "She is so quiet and unobtrusive that you'll hardly know she is in the house." Then she smiled slyly at me, and I felt my matrimonial plane foredoomed to failure. At that moment Miss Stubbs arrived, and mother and I ran into the hall to meet her. She looked as faded and washed out as ever, and as I followed her and mother into the morning room I sighed over the futility of my well meant schema "Let me introduce my brother to you, " mother began. " James, this is"— But before she could finish her sentence Uncle James jumped up and seized Miss Stubbs by both hands, Drying: "Why, Annie, you don't mean to say that it is you, Dome back to me after all these years?" And there was a look on his face that the tenderest pork chops and the safest investments had never been able to call forth. Miss Stubbs was quite flushed and trembling all over. "And it is really you, James? I never dreamed that I should Bee you again." "This is Annie Lorimer, that I used to tell yon about, Jane," explained Un- cle James, turning to mother, but still keeping Mise Stubbs' hands in his. "But why on earth did yon call her Miss Stubbs?" Miss Stubbs answered for mother. "They only knew me as Miss Btubbe, James. When my father came into that estate, which proved such a disappoint- ment to him, he had to give up the name of Lorimer and take that of Stubbe, and I suppose I never mentioned that my name had onoo been Lorimer." As we all sat at tea together I medi- tated deeply on the romantic situation and thought how sad it must be to be parted from a fine, handsome man each as Miss Stubbs had described to me and from a golden haired fairy such as uncle used to talk about to mother, and then to meet them five and twenty years aft- erward, transformed into a fat old bach- elor and a faded old maid. But my cup of amazement was full when I heard Unole James say: "What have you been doing to keep yourself so young, Annie? You hardly look a day older than when I last saw you." And Miss Stubbs replied: "Yon also are scarcely altered a bit, James. I should have known you anywhere." This fairly knocked me over. It is ab- surd to say that love is blind. Love not only sees boautios and virtues no one else sees, but what it has once seen it sees aiwaya. It is very funny and inter- esting. The next day I said to Miss Stubbs, "Whatever made you say Uncle James was tall when yon described him to me?" "Because ho is tall Don't you think your uncle is a very fine man, my dear?" "I don't know. He always seemed rather short to mo, 'somehow," I stam- mered awkwardly. Mims Stubbs smiled. "To yon, yes. But you are so exceptionally tall, you know." Whereby I learned that height is, aft- er all, only a question of proportion. Not long after this Uncle James ask- ed me in his sharp, masterful way: "What possessed yon, Madge, when yon told me that Annie was old? Why, she is no more old than I am." I felt confused. "She seemed rather old to me, somehow," I stammered. My uncle smiled "Yon, yes. But you are so absurdly young, you know." Whereby I learned that age also is a question of proportion. On the day that Uncle James and Aunt Annie were married mother said to me, "I think that Providence helped my managing little girl with her plans this time." "No, mother," I answered. "Provi- dence took it out of my hands altogether and finished the business alone and did it a million times better than I could have imagined. Mother smiled. "You see, " I continued, "any scheme was to bring two rather uninteresting, middle aged people together and insure a dull and comfortable old age for them, but Providence's plan was to reunite two true lovers who had waited for each other for a quarter of a oentury and make them young again and happy with the highest Bort of happiness. The ways of Providence aro better than our ways, after all. Aren't they, mother?" "As the heavens are higher than the earth," said mother softly.—Woman at Home. 131 Ezoase Ininfeeleat Tho witty remarks of Judge Craig Biddle, if gathered together, would 511 a good sized volume.

An old camper out onoo related to a horrified housekeeper his experience of dishwashing in a miners' camp. It did not take much time, though the com- pany was numerous and the utensils of the kitchens were in constant use. The reasoa why it took but little time ha sufficiently indicated by the statement that the 000k pot was not cleaned till it became too email to bold a pudding of reasonable size. Then somebody got a hammer and knocked off the hardened accretions from its interior till it was restored nearly enough to its original capacity to render further service. On Tory inland, an out of the way bit of an Irish islet, and indeed to a level degree throughout Donegal, the natives are not mach more dainty in their liv- ing, and their habit of letting the ground's remain indefinitely in their tea- pots has disastrous consequence& "Every day and all day long," says a recent writer, "the teapot sits stew- ing in the embers of the hearth, and at each eucreesive brew fresh tea is thmwn in, but the old is never thrown out un- til the pot is choked." The result is an unusual and excessive rate of insanity. Little wonder, when a Tory island boy who was questioned as to his usual meals, could reply: "Stirabont for breakafst and tay for dinner; tay, av coarse, at taytime and etirahout for supper, whiles we have tar for breakfast iwste'ad and stirabout. for our dinner, and then another sup of tay before bedtime." However, this diet., injurious as it is to the nerves, docs not seem to affect the muscles. Tho Tory ialandere are a robust and vigorous race, the men av- eraging 6 feet in height and the women unusually tall and strong. The women indeed have need of ail their physical strength, since it is they wbo do the bulk of the ontdoor work, while the men stay at home and spin and weave. "At Anagry Strand on a Sunday morning," says the sumo observer, "one may witness a strange eight. At low tide more than a mile of roundabout is saved by wading across a narrow bay. The men include in their Sunday's wardrobe shoes and stockings. The women, by courtesy and custom, wear 'niartyeens'—footless stockings, with a loop passing over the toe.

A Chicago man who had been trolling for mnekelltutgo was returning across the fields to the farmhouse where he was stopping, when he met with a re- markable adventure.. He thus relates it in the Chicago Times -Herald: "I hadn't gone far when I beard a savage growl behind me, and the next minute I was clambering into the branchee of a con- venient tree, with a big bulldog snap- ping at my heels. AB I swung myself up ont of reach I struck frantically at the brute with my trolling spoon. One of the heavy hooks caught. him fairly in the nose, and in a moment he began pawing and thrashing about in a wild endeavor to get loose. It took an hour to land him. He would run out a couple of hundred feet, dive into the deep clover and sulk and growl. Then I would haul him in, hand over hand, with a hitch around a convenient limb. Whenever I slackened the line, away he would go again until I brought him np with a sharp turn. It was great sport. Talk about fishing! Landing a 20 pound muskellunge is tame and uninteresting when compared with landing a 80 pound bulldog. At the end of an hour he jay down at the foot of the tree, and 1 couldn't induce him to fight I tied the line tightly about a limb, jumped down out of his reach and ran for the nearest fence. But there was no neoesrsity for hurry—the dog staid. I told a farmer's boy 1 met shortly afterward where he could find his dog. I guess he deserved to keep my trolling outfit for recovering it.

A flaks alai Zee Clear lee ms- aagt. - Under existing conditions expert tee= timony in criminal trials is to be re- garded, according to the point of view, as a farce or a tragedy. Tho expert wit - nese presents us the humiliating speo- tacle of the alleged scientist turned ad- vocate, mountebank and trickster. He appears as a professed partisan—for hire. He hides his true opinions behind equiv- ocal or evasive answers—for a oonsid- eration. He expressos by implication views he docs not really hold—that he may seem to earn his foe. In a word, he sacrificed his mistress, Science, at the shrine of Mammon. At all events, he is openly accused of all of this and much more in kind. Ho is railed at, sooffed at, jeered. The most charitable of popular optniona as to his character seems to be that which regards him as an unmitigated joke. And mean- time he is placed in each a position that it is impossible for him to defend him- self against these allegations. He may be a true scientist, learned, honest, con- scientious, but under existing methods he cannot prove that he is such. The populace will judge him by his com- pany, and as matters stand some por- tions of his company are pretty certain to be bad. Whatever his real character, the fate of poor Tray awaits him. The spirit of the law is said to be common sone. But its letter has cer- tainly permitted a wide departure from this alleged standard. The attempt to add to the communal weal by utilizing the knowledge of experts has culminated in something not far removed from total failure. What•ahould be a most eerions function has panted into a joke, and by common oonsent the joke has gond tar enough.—Dr. Henry Smith Williams in North American Review. Grant sad Meade. General Horace Porter, in his "Cam- paigning With Grant," in The Century, after speaking of General Meade's some- what anomalous position, quotes Gen- eral Grant as foi.lowe: "I am fully aware that some embarrassments arise fmm the present organisation, but there is more weight on the other side of the question. I am commanding all the armies, and I cannot neglect others by giving my time exclnaively to the Arany of the Potomac, which would involve performing all the detailed duties of an army commander, directing iia adminis- tration, enforcing discipline, reviewing tta court martial proceedings, etc. I have Burnside's, Butler's and Sigel's armies to look after in Virginia, to say nothing of our western armies, and I may make Sheridan's cavalry a separate command. Besides, Meade has screed a long time with the Army of the Poto- mac, knows its subordinate officers thor- oughly and led it to a memorable vic- tory at Gettysburg. I have just Dome from the west, and if I removed a de- serving eastern man from the position of army commander my motives might be misunderstood and the effect be bad upon the spirits of the troops. General Meade and I ars in close contact on the field. He is capable and perfectly sub- ordinate, and by attending to the de- tails he relieves me of much unnecessary work and gives me more time to think and to mature my general plans. "I will always see that he gets full credit for what he does." This was a broad view of the situation, and one to which the general mainly adhered throughout the war, but after that day he gave a eloeer personal direction in battle to the movements of subdivisions of the armies. Drop Nickels For Tickets. Absentminded people drop many things bedded tickets in the bozos pre- sided over by the ticket choppers at the elevated stations For a man to drop a nickel in is of oommon occurrence.

It may ',uremia') many readers to learn that the oommon garden snail, regarded as an unmitigated pest by agriculturists in this coantry,l isj used for food by thousandeof por80na and when properly cooked is esteemed atdainty dish by epi- cures in, all the great °!ties of tho world. Not only is this the case in foreign coun- tries, where the overcniyvding of the population renders it Obligatory that everything edible should be; eaten, but hero in America, where in New York the arrival of the French steamers with their cargoes of snails is anjovent of im- portance in gastronomic circles, and the leading French restaurantai advertise the dish as a special attraction. Like other homely animals which /serve for food, the snail changes hir�l name when he oomea to the table and takes the French titles Thus, as the pig becomes pork, the oz beef and the aheopmutton, tho snail fig- ures on hills of faro as ''escargot, a much more imposing designation. Like many other dishes esteemed by epicures, it comes to ns by way of mance from Italy, for the French, who are the mas- ters of the world in cookery, learned the art originally from the Italians. The ancient Romana, whoeo emperor's and nobles lived to eat, and who not infre- quently spent a fortune on a single feast, considered Vesoargot a choice deli- cacy. Pliny mentioned it as among the table luxuries of his day, and Apioius, in a treatise on cookery, enumerates sev- eral ways of 000king the dish, the most extravagant being with a sauce of sweet herbs, milk, butter, cheese, boiled wine, wheat flour and saffron. L'eecargot has always been regarded as nutritious and wholesome. In the middle ages he was used as medicine and pounded in a mortar. Stewed in milt, he was regarded as a specific in lung diseasee. He has always been eaten in the south of Franoe, where he does immense damage to the vines, and the grape growers are glad to be rid of him and make money at the same time by sending him to market. Indeed, he forms an important souroo of revenue, and his yearly sake in Paris alone are said to approximate 1,000,000 francs. While he feeds chiefly on the grape leaf, he is also fond of cabbages, and, indeed, will eat any green herb or tender leaf. For this reason the snails, when gath- ered, are always placed in tusks and kept without fond in a cool place for at least two months in order to purify them. They have a fancy for both hem - look and belladonna, and cases of poison- ing sometimes occur as a malt of eating snails which have not been properly cleansed -i. e., starved -before being brought to table. He is classed by the dealers as among shellfish and is in great demand as a Lenten delicacy. Heaps of them are exposed for sale on the counters at the hallos, side by side with lobsters and crawfleh, for the craw- fish is another French dainty. It has long been the custom in Bordeaux to go on Ash Wednesday to the commune of Canderan, which is noted for its eeoar- goteries ('hail farms) to !east upon es- cargot by way of winding up the car- nival and beginning Lent. Along the Cote d'Or and in the lower Alps snail picking fnnlishes employ- ment to hundreds of people and is car- ried on much as berry picking. In the early morning, when the slimy trail Of the snail glistens wherever he has crawl- ed during the night, the pickers go forth with baskets and pails. They find the snails in damp places, resting on the under surface of leaves and veins and gather them just as the farmer's boy picks dewberries or huckleberries. These are snails of natural growth, wild snails, we would say. But snails are largely cultivated for the market, and one farm near Dijon is said to clear 7,000 francs a year from its snails, which am fed upon cabbage and clover. There are many large snail gardens in the cantons of Switzerland, and Ulm has for many years been fa- mous for its eecargoteriea Great num- bers of snails Come to Spain, and the Midi from the African states bordering on the Mediterranean, bushels of them being exported from Algiers every week during the season. Yon will find them on the bill of fare in every restaurant in Paris, or you may buy them in the markets, either alive or boiled in strong salt and vinegar water and drawn from the shell all ready for cooking, in which state the Parisian housekeeper prefers them, and in which she pays a cent apiece for them. -What to Eat The Care of Parks. A point to be insisted upon is that it is not sufficient to purchase land for parka They must be planted with care and maintained with taste, and to keep them in condition renewed expenditure is necessary. They cannot merely be purchased and left to nature and the public. They must be cultivated, pruned, policed, and the expellee of preserving their beauty and usefulness must not be begrudged by taxpayers who reap such great advantages from them. Too many have the ides that the purchase of a park is the end of the matter. This is far from being the case, and exertions must constantly be made to secure lib- eral appropriations for its proper main- tenancee. Much difficulty exists in im- pressing this fact upon citizens, but in time they will realize that a great art demands continuous liberal support, and we may be sure that they will then be as generous in maintaining and improv- ing the parks of the country as they have proved to be in purchasing them. - Mary C. Robbins in Atlaut Expensive Boner ono*. There is a venerable benevolent judge in Paris who at the moment of passing sentence on a prisoner consults his assessors on each side of him as to the proper penalty to be inflicted. "What ought we to give this rascal, brother?" he says, bending over to the assessor on the right.. "I should say three years." "What is your opinion, brother?" to the assessor on the loft. "I should give him about four years. " Tho judge, with benevolence: "Pris- oner, not desiring to give you a long and severe term of imprisonment, as I should have done if loft to myself, I have consulted my learned brethren and shall take their advice.

"About 15 years ago readers used to be divided roughly into two classes - those who 'liked Dickens' and those who 'adored Thackergy.' " writes the critic Droch in The Ladies' Home Journal Saoh class used to view the other with more or less contempt, Of the two the Thaoker,y people felt them/oleo' consid- erably superior to the Diokene people. There were not so many of them, for one thing, and that in itself gave them a feeling of exclusiveness (something like the attitude assumed by (}forge Meredith's admirers of the present day), But Thackeray's complete works for $8.99 rapidly abolished the aristocracy. Artifioial barriers do not long want for much with a great writer. "Yon no doubt very soon found out that in certain moods there was nothing more satisfying to you than 'Pendennis, ' and at another time the beat novel that you ever read was 'DavidHperfeld,' I have no doubt t.hat iu the long ran deep in your heart you will cherish a finer affection for the one than the other. That is a matter of temperament and your surroundings. The one you like best fits best into your life an yon are making it.

' " The Popular Aesthetics of Color. While blue is pre-eminently and over- whelmingly the masculine favorite, it is by no means so general a feminine favorite. The favorite woman's color, standing at the head of the female list, is red. Roughly speaking, of every 80 masculine votes 10 would be for blue and 8 for red, while of every 80 femi- nine votes 4 would be for blue and 6 for red. Rod and blue are thus mach more nearly equally popular among women than among men. Other relatively marked masculine preferences are for the oolors,related to bine (blue violet and violet), and other feminine pr'efer- enoes are for lighter red (or pink) and, to a lase extent,, for green and yellow. Further, men confine their selection' to relatively fewer colors than do women, and, finally, while all men and women alike are much more apt to choose a normal than a transitional color and a darker than a Lighter shade, yet the tend- ency to do so (about the same in the former dir'eotion) is markedly different in the latter respect. Of 19 men 10 would choose among the darker colors and only 9 among the lighter for the moat pleas- ing oolor, while of 19 women 7 would choose among the darker and 6 among the lighter shade& -Professor Jastrow in Popular Scienoe Monthly.

The action in the house on Friday of last week was all that could have hec'u expected or desired by the friends of this city. After a debate of nearly eight hours, in which the subject was discussed from every conceivable standpoint, it was voted, sixty-seven to forty-one, to revoke the Anoka selection of the commission. The location at Hastings was then confirmed. sixty -tire to forty-three. Upon the final passage of the bill ac- cepting our site and appropriating *1 5.0ou for its purchase the vote was sixty-seven to thirty-nine. The re- sult was a clincher so far as the lower house is concerned. Oa Monday the passage of the louse bill was officially announced in the senate. with a reference to the finance committee. On Wednesday the latter recommended its passage �y a vote of tivc to four. Yesterday :h motion to lay upon the table was defeated icy seventeen to thirty-two, told the hill was placed upon general orders. .1. 1).

The s -nate on 'Thursday adopted the majority report in the fourth in- sane (hospital matter. and now it is practically certain that Anoka will not get it any way. All sectional in- terests aside. no more suitable site can he found than that proposed by Hastings. It is convenient, advan- tageous, picturesque, and all that can be desired. That is where the com- mission first located the hospital, and the change came not from any public dissatisfaction, but through a very bad break on the part of one of the commissioners. All local ambitions cannot be served, neither can all jeal- ousies. Locate it at Hastings and quit. Midway :\f'le'e, The senators and representatives \from Stearns County voted against Anoka in the asylum contest. They represented the sentiment of the con- trolling influences in Stearns County. As long as the institution or aid was not for Stearns County, it should go to the southern part of the state. - Little Falls Transcript. The (rouse on Saturday voted on the insane hospital sites and gave the Hastings site a preference by a vote of sixty-seven to thirty-nine. We congratulate Hastings, after the hard fight she has made, in winning the fourth insane hospital in the end. - Lakeville Arbitrator. Hampton Items. G. A. Dolph has returned from St. Paul. D. W.

This has been a bitter fight between the above two towns, and all will re- joice that it is settled. -Redwood Re- vei lle. Hastings got the fourth asylum by a majority vote of the legislature, and Anoka got a prime idea of human per- fidy as exemplified by certain men connected. -Granite Fails Tribune. We learn for the first time last Sat- urday that Randolph was a manufac- turing town, and that for five years past the work of building a locomo- tive had been going on in that burg. C. S. McCloud, the station agent at that place, is the mechanic and his office is the iron foundry, workshop, and telegraph office combined. He has been a very busy man the past year and but few officials of the Great Western or Minneapolis & St. Louis roads have not witnessed his little giant locomotive running about the freight house. One of the offi- cials of the road offered him $500 for his engine, but he refused. He brought it up to Northfieldeld on Satur- day to have it photographed, and while here it was viewed by many of our citizens. The dimensions of the locomotive are about as follot The engine and tender are together fifty- six inches long, and with eighty pounds steam pressure on the boiler it has the pulling power of one horse. The drive wheels are six inches high and the cylinders are one and five- eighths inches in diameter by two in- ches in length. It stands fifteen and one-half inches from the track to top of stack, and the boiler holds live quarts of water. The machine is complete with sand dome, bell, whistle, throttle, reverse lever, etc., and is a piece of work Mr. McCloud may well feel proud of. -Northfield The Hastings Democrat sums up the question of a site for the fourth hospital for the insane in a very thoughtful and conservative article, all the more effective because of its mild and unheated manner. The argu- ments advanced for Hastings are the healthy location, on a high bluff over- looking the river with a magnificent prospect, good soil to cultivate, easy of access by rail from all parts of the state, the finest of spring water, the best of building material on the grounds, and a water -fall of twenty- seven feet to furnish power for light- ing and the like. The Anoka site is on a fiat sandy plain, liable to inun- dation, requiring a long sewer to be built, far from building materials, without the advantage of easy access by railroads and requiring the use of steam for a lighting plant. We can- not see how with these facts in mind the committee of the legislature which now has the matter in charge can de- cide other than in favor of Hastings. This was the original finding of the commission which unanimously voted for the Hastings site, then for some unknown reason voted to reconsider and changed its vote by a majority of one. The legislative committee ought to bring out some interesting facts in connection with this vote. - Winona Leader. Real Estate Transfers.

"Soddenly two men sprang out One of them grabbed the mule, and the other presented a six shooter at my head. It was done no quick that I gazed at them stupidlike. " 'Fork out that $8 you got for stock!' said one of the men. "I had brought some stuff into town and had six big dollars on my person. As money was scarce, it flashed through my mind that it meant to lose them, and quicker'n I can take to tell it, I slashed to the right with the batt of my heavy whip and then slashed to the left I struck them both, and the muleeprang forward.

I will admit that the advertisement never brought a reply or never created curiosity, and yet I am willing to stake my reputation upon the assertion that if the vaine of advertising was limited to the appearanoo of advertising that ad- vertising would bo necessary to proper oondact of encs esful business. The man who advertises stands before the public in the full, legitimate and dignified prominence of one who is proud of his business, has a right to be proud of it, is doing a lot of it and wants to do more of it, and he is the kind of mall that everybody wants to do business with, for just so long as the moth will be attracted by the candlelight, so long will trade swarm around the advertis- ing light of business. -Hardware.

Breen, of Muscatine, had dealing with the Japanoee that ooaunereial morality in Japan stands almost on the lowest plane possible to a civilized people. With tow exoeptions even those Japanese who prove estima- ble and high minded in all other matters are not to be trusted in bn4uoss tranaao• tion. In Japan the man who fails a take advantage of his neighbor in a bar- gain is looked upon as is fool. The ex- planation of this state of things given by Robert Young, who edits a Kobo pa- per, is that ueerolsarrta it. Japan hem hitherto oocnpied the lowest rung on the social ladder, being deemed interior to the tillers of the soil and but little above the pariah elates. Up to aoompar'ntivoly reoent period trader wan but another name for triekater and the portrait of oommerre was held to argue a leak of integrity. With changed commercial conditions this low standard seems to have re- mained unaltered, so that the Japanese trader is always thinking how he ban "best" the foreigner, and he will not fulfill his engagementa if by so doing he is likely to editor loss. Mr. Young gives cogent reasons for believing that the mikado's eubjeota aooa will loaf. the for- eign customers they have gained unless their code of oommareia3 morals is ma- terially and rapidly improved. Already Japanese commie have re- ported that the c'onttt:ry'x foreign trade is seriously injured by asst+rehants who send abroad snatches that will not strike, rice that is not up to maniple and stuffs The Week's Shipments the only merit of which is cheapness, Guilds have been formed to introduce better method. of butt:tonn, hut they have not wrought mush impseyrcment, and the situation cannot be radically changed so long na there is no public opinion to support the application of morality to business.

"—Detroit Free Press. Grant and the Dying Soldier. In The Century General Horace Porter relates the following story in his "Cam- paigning With Grant." The iucideut occurred during the attack on what is now called "Hell's Half Acre," near Measaponax Church: General Grant bad ridden over to the right to watch the progress of this attack. While he was passing a spot near tho roadside where there were a number of wounded, one of them, who was lying close to the roadside, seemed to attract his special notice. The man's faoe was beardless; he was evidently young; his counte- nance was strikingly handsome, and there wait something in his appealing look which oould not fail to engage at- tention, even in the fall tide of battle. The blood was flowing fttlfl a wound in his breast, the froth about his mouth was tinged with red, and his wander- ing, staring eyes gave unmistakable evidence of approaching death. Just theu a young staff officer dashed by at a full gallop, and as his horse's hoofs struck a puddle in the road a mass of black mud was splashed in the wounded man's faoe. He gave a piteous look, as much as to say, "Couldn't you let me die in peaae and not add to my suffer- ings?" The general, whose oyes were at that moment turned upon the youth, was visibly affected. He reined in his horse, and seeing from a motion be made that he was intending to dismount to bestow some care upon the youug man I sprang from my hors©, ran to the side of the soldier, wiped his face with my hand- kerchief, spoke to him and examined his wound, but in a few minutes lite unmistakable death rattle was heard, and I found that he had breathed his last. 1 said to the general, who was watching the scene intently, "The poor fellow is dead," remounted my horse, and the party rode on. The chief had turned round twice to look after the of- ficer who had splaahed the mud and who had passed rapidly on, as if he wished to take him to task for his carelessness. There was a painfully sad look upon the general's face, and he did not speak for some time. While always keenly sensi- tive to the sufferings of the wounded, this pitiful sight seemed to affect him more than usual Effectgl Prayer. There is an awful amount of so called prayer that is only from the throat out- ward; it begins nowhere and ends in "'Tis longin I am to comfort ye, nothing. Such pointless repetitlone of alannah.

Works on botany appeared in sev- ered European languages about the close of tbo fifteenth century, general atten- tion yeing at that time diieoted toward the study of this science.

It is the custom of the philosopher to give at least three minutes' consideration to his most thoughtful utterances, and in do- ing this he gives about two minutes more than the average man who likes to be thought a philosopher. "It must be evident to every thought- ful person," he said at last, "that woman is really the mainstay of re- ligion." "I beg your pardon, sir," said, the man in the clerical coat, sudenly straightening up, "I don't believe I quite follow you." "I was saying, " explained the philos- opher, "that woman really does more for religion, shows more earnestness and makes greater sacrifices than man doe& She is more courageous and is ever ready to endure more." "Without desiring to detract in any way from the credit that is due to woman," said the man in the clerical coat rather stifIiy, "I meat say that 1 would be glad to learn where yon get the facts upon which yon base such an assertion. Women have dono much in the missionary field, they have ably as- sisted in spreading the gospel, but men have been at the head of ev • ry such movement and have directed and led it. Furthermore, it is man who occupies the pulpit and teaches the gospel; it is man who gives his life up to the church; it is"— "That's just it," interrdpted the philosopher. "I was about to call atten- tion to that in proof of my assertion. In view of all that is expected and all that has to be endured; in view of the crosses and worries and snubs that must be re- ceived with smiles, you surely must ad- mit that it requires a nobler spirit and more courage and self sacrifice to marry a minister than to be one." The man in the clerical coat started to say something, but he thought better of it. When one has the losing end of an argument it is better to let go of it than it is to try to hang on.—Chicago Post dONO. !Weald that my love were a illy fair And I would that I were a sunbeam bold.

Sow Grant Impressed Rio Comrades se s West Point Cadet. "He was a lad without guile," testi. fies General Longstreet "I never heard him utter a profane or vulgar word. He was a boy of good native ability, al- though by no means a hard student, So perfect was his sense of honor that, in the numerous cabals which were often formed, his name was never mentioned, for he never did anything which could be subject for criticism or reproach. He soon became the most daring horseman in the academy." He had a way of solving problems out of rule by the ap- plication of good, hard sense, and Rufus Intgalle ends by saying: "When our school days were over, if the average opinion of the members of the class had been taken, every one would have said: 'There is Sam Grant. Ho is a splendid fellow, a good, honest man, against whom nothing can be said and from whom everything may be expected.' " One of the keenest observers in his class, for a year his roommate, perceived more in him than his instructors. "He had the most scrupulous regard for truth. He never held his word light. He never said an untruthful word even in jest "He was a reflective mind and at times very reticent and somber. Some- thing seemed working deep down in his thoughts—things he know as little about as we. There would be days, even weeks, at a time when ho would be si- lent and somber—not morose. He was a cheerful plan, and yet he had those moments when ho seemed to feel some premonition of a great future—wonder- ing what he was to do and what he was to become. He was moved by a very sin- oere motive to join the Dialootio society, which was the only literary society had. I did not belong, but Grant joined while we were roommates, with the aim to improve in his manner of e pressing himself. "—MoClur'e's. An Odd Incident. A carious incident happened ono Sun- day to a lady in a neighboring village. The husband of a lire. Lewis is the superintendent of the Sunday school in the little town, and it has been her habit to oall at the eohool at about the hour of closing to walk home with him. On the day mentioned, as oho was ap- proaohing the church, one of the pupils said to her, "Hurry np, or you will be too late," but did not mention what she might be too late for. At the door she met another little girl, who said: "Oh, hurry, Mrs. Lewis! You are just in time." As she entered the room a minister, in his clerical robes, stopped in front of the prayer desk and said: "Let the candidates for matrimony oome forward." To the astonishment of Mrs. Lewis, her husband and one of the young lady teachers responded to the invitation, and here is a point where the novelist could put in some dramatic work. Mrs. Lewis might have screamed, fainted or have done anything startling, but, horrified as she was for the moment, her judg- ment told her that there mast be some reasonable excuse for the apparently in- excusable situation, and there was. Moro deliberately, and with consider- able embarrassment, a couple no longer young name forward to be married. They had come from a distance, without any friends attending them, and had been directed to the Sunday school to find a minister. The other couple bad been requested to act as witnesses. Mrs. Lewis says she could not have suffered more for the moment bad her husband really deserted her, for, to all appearances, he had done to.—New York Tribune. Worta. Forks are commonly snppoeod to have been introduced into Europe not earlier than the twelfth or theteeuth century.' It is intimated by some writers that the three pronged hook mentioned as among the utensils of the tabernacle was a kind of fork. Forks were unknown in England until the beginning of the sev- enteenth century. Unauthentte IPortralts of Franklin. It seems the height of absurdity to look upon the so called "Sumner Por- trait of Franklin at Twenty, " belonging to Harvard university, as an authentic portrait Whore did Franklin, who was grubbing for Innde to carry him home at the time tris picture is supposed to have been painted, get the money for the "purple and fine linen" in which he is arrayed, let alone to pay the artist for his work? Aside from Franklin's cir- cumstances being against its authentic- irs- his "Antnhinaranhv" is client non so important a subject as this portrait, and ice history is purely mythical Another picture that has no better claim to be considered a likeness of Ben- jamin Franklin hangs in the Metropoli- tan Mneenm of Art and was painted by Stephen Elmer, an English still life painter. There is nothing to show that it was given the name of Franklin until 1824, when a plate engraved by Ryder and published in 1789, as "The Politi- cian," was relettered and issued with the name of Franklin. The last pioture to be mentioned in this expurgatorial list is of the first im- portance as a work of art It was paint- ed by Thomas Gslnsborongh and is in %he oolleotion of the Marquis of Lands- downe, but it is clearly not Benjamin Franklin.

The power of steam was known to Hero of Alexandria, who exhibited what seems from the description to have been a small steam engine to Ptolemy Phila- delphus and his oonrt about 150 B. C. Pliny describes a small boat, built by a "magician" of Rome, which moved by means of a wheel, "driven by a pot of hot water. " Watt's invention of a ro- tary steam engine was patented in 1769. The filet railway locomotive was built by Trevithick in 1804. The first prate deal locomotive was perfected by Ste- phenson in 1829. As early as 1707 Denys Pepin built a model of a steamboat, which was destroyed by a mob of boat- men. The first practical steamboat was built by William Sin 1802. In 1808 Robert Falbn, in oonneotion with Chancellor Livingston, built a steamboat which was tried on the Seine. In 1807 the Clermont began trips from New York to Albany. The Pope's Army. The present army of the pope is com- posed of five bodies, the Noble guard, under the command of Prince Altieri, consisting of about 60 young men; the Swiss guard, numbering 100 young men; the Palatine guard, numbering about 100 privates and 17 officers; the gendarmes, numbering 100 men, and the firemen, who are classed as soldiers, partly because they are in a state of chronic fend with the Swiss guard. The pontifical army bas ?leo an official newspaper, published weekly, edited by ex -pontifical officers, ander the patron- age of the so called minister of the army and entitled La Fodelta Cattolica (Cath- olic Loyalty). It publishes deatb* pro- motions, changes, but of course for 26 years has not been able to record arta of valor.—New York Tribune.

A well known physician once told a patient, who he strslxtetorl was r'eosiving too many calls from sotoitous friends, to make a stroke with a pencil on a piece of paper every time he was asked, "How aro you today?" Tho moult for one day was jwit 24 strokes, and the physician immediately gave strict orders that no visitor should be permitted to enter the sickroom un - Hl further notice, remarking to the name that if his patient must be wor- ried to death there was at least no rea- son why it should be done in such an unacientiflo manner. Only those who have suffered serious illness know how trying it is to be re- quired to answer again and again the same question, asked by one well mean- ing individual after another. It would matter lees if visitors contented them- selves with asking just the on quJetion, but they do not, and the minute details of oue'S ailments become peculiarly de- pressing after a few repetitions.

Bigelow, now one of the proprietors of the famous Kickapoo Indian Remedies, was acting as a govern- ment scout in the Indian territory. Ile was known at that time as "Texas Charlie," and while on one of his expeditions s',as taken sick with a severe fever, and for a few days lay at death's door. During his sickness he was cared for by an Indian Chief and his family, in whose lodge he la,, so weak that he could hardly raise his eye- lids. An In- dian doctor visited him, and gave him that now most famous of Indian rem- edies, Indian • Sagwa, a n d by Its use he was snatched from the jaws of death and restored to health, owing his life to the wonderful efficacy and curative power of this medicine. He then en- deavored to persuade the Indians to give to him their secret of its Ingredients. This at first they refused to do, but after much per- suasion and many dis- cussions they it Lst par - tidily yielded to his request and theChlef of the Tribe sent East with Mr. Bigelow five of his most renowned • medicine men, to- gether with an ample supply of the roots, herbs, barks, gums, etc., used in the manu- facture of their medicines.

The groat era of Cheesiest domivation in things mental was the era of com- parative liberty, the age of Schiller and Goethe. Today the universities, the schools, the men of ideas—they all live too much in the alutde of officials. A historian like Momrrsren, a scientist like Virchow, a political thinker like Del- bruck—such men are made to saber po- litical and social persecution. Germans appreciate greatness, but the German government tolerates it not. The groat man must be a freeman, and a govern- ment of soldiers cannot endure freemen. Germans are justly proud of their vast army, tbeir industrious and honest offi- cials, their excellent education! insti- tutions. It is all wonderful, but not to my taste. I would rather live in arongh oonntry and carry a revolver than feel that a policeman was always at my back. We Americans may carry too far our admiration for German education. And this is directed particularly at parents who think of sending their boys to a gymnasium or the university. The Ger- man boy learns an enormous amount, but it is usually at the expense of his health, and always at the expense of time which should hive been devoted to canoeing, fishing, stooling or sailing. Mr. Edison once told me that he ad- mired Germane very much as chemists; that they were tho only people patient enough for that work; but, air far as other useful knowledge was oonoerned, be could say little for them. And, as we all know, Edison is an expert on the subject of labor value. There are several things wieich Ger- many weld never have produced—for instance, Cobden, Abraham Linooln, Henry Ward Beecher and Thomas Edi- son.—Harper's Weekly. The Man Washington. Lecturing on Washington before the Buffalo Contemporary club, Professor Moses Coit Tyler of Cornell said that, while the great Virginian's reputation as a soldier and statesman was safe, he was in real danger from the humorists of the future. This was owing to the fact that Washington, the real man, had never been very well known and is now almost forgotten, having been replaced in the popular mind by a myth type al- most equally compounded of the heroic, the priggish and the statuesque. Too often ho was spoken of as a person who o.NO ....�..�...� .. tea., __ .• a naughty thing, who cut down that cherry tree with his own little hatchet, who never lied, apparently because he could not, who never laughed out loud, who never swore, whose behavior was always dignified and proper, and whose conduct was always such as might be expected of the good little boy in -the Sunday schooL These myths of exag- geration and adulation had their origin in the extraordinary qualities of the man, bis extraordinary achievements and the gratitude of the republic which ho was instrumental in founding. Mod - eat, reserved and generally grave, the statement that he never laughed or smiled during the war of the Revolution had been shown to be false. IInderlying these myths were discovered Washing- ton's great r'eser've,tformality, thorough- ness and self oontroL —New York Times. Why He Laughed. The thin man laughed immoderately, and the fat man naturally wanted to know the occasion for it "Why, every time I see yon," ex- plained the thin man, "I think of the remark my boy made." "What was it?" asked the fat man rather doubtfully, as if uncertain as to the wisdom of making such an inquiry. "He wanted to know if yon were the baby elephant " "If I had a boy who didn't know any butter than to make fun of a man be- cause he was fat, I'd thrash him," as- serted the fat man, with some emphasis. "Oh, so would I," rcturued the thin man promptly. "I know bow sensitive fat meal are as to their size, and I would have walloped the boy if I had thought he was referring to that, but I know ho wasn't Yon etc, when he made the re- mark he wag looking straight at your ears." 11 the fat man had not been constitu- tionally lazy, the thin nous would hare had to fight or run.—Chicago Post.

The Transsiberian railroad is the key to the 80 day problem, and the road will be iso operation, it is thought, by 11100. The best possible connections at pres- e'tt will enable a traveler to go around the world in 71 clays. The average time is about one-third more. Perhaps the shortest cut would be this: New York to Southampton, Southampton to Brin- disi, by way of the Suez canal, Red sea, etc., to Yokohama; Yokohama to San Francisco, and thence over the Ameri- can continent by rail. The itinerary over the Tranasiberian route would be as follows: New York to Bremen, 7 days; Bremen to St. Pe- tersburg, 1% days; St. Petersburg to Vladivostok, 8% days; Vladivostok to San Francisco, 9 days; San Francisco to New York, 4 days; total, 80 days. Siberia lives in the popular mind as a barren and desolate region, yet it is rich in possibilities. Coal and iron and the more precious metals are found there in abundance. The short summer is longenough to admit of a good wheat yield To develop this pillion of its great domain is one of the motives that spur Russia to the most gigantio railroad feat of thia century. Nor does she mean that the new road shall ever serve as a path for the in- vader. Other European tracks are stand- ard gauge. The Siberian railroad is sev- eral inches wider, and in case of war no other nation will be able to switch en- gines and car's on to the tracks and thus oonvey troops to the interior.—Youth's Companion. Chicago a Literary Center. "Yon told mo yesterday that Chicago wasrl, a literary center, didn't yon?" demanded the Chicago man of his friend from Boston. "Yes, that is what I said," replied the Boston man. "Yon told me that we might have a few fair newspaper writers and a few Cheap John authors, but that I couldn't find the name of a crackerjack, bang up poet like Oliver Wendell Holmes, for instance, or Longfellow, or Borne df_ - those other gays, in the whole city di- rectors' didn't von?" rontinuedthe Chi- cago "Yes, I said something like that," was the reply. "Well, you're way off, tally," went on the Chicago man, palling a paper out of his inside pocket "O. W. Holmes lives over here on the West Side, in the swell part of it, too—Aahland avenue.

These directions, carefully followed, aro said to be cor- rect: Having drawn and thoroughly cleaned and dried the bird, stuff it with mashed potatoes highly seasoned with onion, sage, salt and pepper or with equal parts of bread crumbs, chopped apples and boiled onions, seasoned with salt., sage and pepper. Sew and truss, put on rack in a pan and cover the breast with slices of fat salt pork. Place in the oven for three-quarters of au hour. ' The pork fat is quickly drawn out by the beat, flows over the goose and aids in drawing out the oil. When considerable oil is extracted, take the pan from the oven and pour off all the oil. Remove the pork and dredge the goose with flour and place again in the oven.. When the flour is browned, add a little hot water and baste often. Dredge with flour after basting. Cook until brown and tender. Garnish with water ewes. Serve with apple sauce.— Chicago Record. Keeping the Pledge. A Sharpsburg man who has been drinking too mnoh liquor for his own good was induced to sign the pledge the other day. His wife was delighted. She took the document and said: " You must let me have it. I will keep it for you." So the paper was confided to her cus- tody. On the next day the man was drinking again as freely as before. "How is this?" asked a friend. "You signed the pledge yesterday, and now you are guzzling whisky again." "It's all right.," replied the pledge signer in unsteady tones. "I don't have 1 to keep that pledge. My wife says abe' ll keep it for me. That's the kind of a wife to have, old fellow.

In the face of a blinding snow- storm our party left St. Paul on the evening of Feb. 12th, duly booked for the twelfth annual convention of the National Editorial Association at Galveston. It consisted of J1r. and tIrs. 11. I. Peterson, of The Litchfield Independent, the writer, and \tiss Louise Todd, of this city, and the popular train Of the Burlington Route pulled out promptly on time. A down river trip at this season of the year is rather an uneventful one, and it was not until late the next morning that the absonce of the ac- customed drifts and the difference of temperature on the sleeper platform were forcible reminders that we are four hundred miles from home and southward hound. There was some ice: noticeable in the Illinois River at Beardstown, liut below that point it was a dreary waste of mud to Alton and the crossings of the Mississippi and the Missouri. The Chicago, Bur- lington, & Quincy now have their own tracks on the west side of the river, relieving their passengers from the familiar holdup of twenty-five cents on the Etd's Bridge and a disagree- able experience through the terminal tunnel. At St. Louis the start proper was made over the St. Louis & San Fran- cisco Road. with nine sleepers and a baggage car. Here we found the Minnesota contingent, C. D. Belden, of The Austin Transcript, Mr. and Mrs. P. V. Collins. of The Minneap- olis Agriculturist, W. R. Hodges, of The Sleepy- Eye Herald, Mr. -and Mrs. F. C. Listoe, of The St. Paul Nord- vesten, A. B. Lange, of The Duluth Scandia, Joseph Leicht, of The Wino- na Herold, W. E. McKenzie, of The Crookston Times. and Frank Zins and Dr. '. h:. Pilon, of The St. Cloud Nordwesten. It was the largest dele- gation ever sent from the Gopher State. the increase in voting strength nearly .doubling its influence as compared with a few years past. 54RErce DA60 T '° ' ("10 jr L014, The first night out of a large ex- cursion is usually one of more or less confusion, notwithstanding the care of the corresponding secretary and his assistants in issuing the berth tickets, and of the Pullman conductor and the porters in assigning the numerous pegs to their respective holes. Then old acquaintances are to he renewed and new ones formed, and it was a little late before the last curtain had been drawn and the periodical concert begun with the entire strength of the company. Our car was the Cahawba. filled with good people from Indiana and Michi- gan, :end a sprinkling from Maryland, Minnesota, and Tennessee by way of local coloring. It was to he our own and only home for the ensuing three weeks, and like the other buffet cars was provided with two porters for the round trip. How they managed to make up each of the ten sections and drawing room first at night and un- make it first in the morning, to say nothing of serving every passenger first with meals from a little cubhy hole about three by seven, is a conun- drum not satisfactorily explained to those immediately concerned in these domestic functions, so essentially necessary to a pursuit of happiness under somewhat trying circumstances. Still we got there just the same, and for fun and frolic the smoking car of the Cahawba easily broke the record. Monett was reached for early breakfast, while those who preferred their matutinal coffee on the train spent an agreeable hour in prome- nading the extensive platform and ob- taining a long breath of the bracing Missouri climate, crisp and cold. Here the road divides, the California division branching off due west. At Seligman, thirty miles beyond, there is a transfer of twenty miles to Eure- ka Springs, well known to many of our citizens. Soon we were in Ar- kansas, rounding up at Ft. Smith for a late dinner, a reception, and a cur- sory view of the thriving city on the banks of the Arkansas River. This is a famous apple country, the slopes of the Ozark and Boston Mountains being particularly adapted to fruit culture, and the orchards on either hand reminding one strongly of New York or Michigcu. Then a corner of the Indian Territory was crossed, and by dark we were iu Texas. At Paris our coaches were trans- ferred to the Gulf, Colorado, & Santa Fe Road, and after supper the long journey across the Lone Star State was resumed. Iu the morning evi- dences of a better soil and a higher stage of cultivation were discernable, the plows busily preparing the ground for the coming crop, and thousands of cattle grazing upon a still scanty vegetation. Upon our arrival at Sommerville the reception car in charge of the press association was added to our section, supplying a profusion of solid and liquid nourish- ment most acceptable to the weary pilgrims and rendering further stops for refreshments entirely- unnecessary. About seven p. in. Galveston was reached, with a grand rush for the Beach Hotel, headquarters of the as- sociation. and where a majority of the delegates were quartered. 1. T. The senate committee on insane hospitals is hearing additional testi- mony this week upon the necessity for a fourth institution. It is only a matter of delay, with little bearing upon the final result. The Fitzsimmons -Corbett contest at Carson City Wednesday was the principal topic of interest in the city, .the defeat of. the latter on the four- teenth round being quite a surprise to the sporting fraternity. Our modern Catos at present sitting in St. Paul have apparently adopted as their rule of conduct the maxim of their Roman prototype with the sim- ple substitution of Anoka for Carth- age. Every time the insane asylum hill has come up it was deleudu est Anoka with those favoring the Hast- ing site. There can be no further doubt about the hatter, the little city at the mouth of the Rum is a dead cock in the pit in so far as insane asylums are concerned. She made a strong fight, and if it were not adding insult to injury- we should not hesitate to express our commiseration.-Isanti Press. The state, through the legislature, has taken some $10,000 out of the city of Anoka. Now let some one introduce a bill to use the money for a monument to public honesty and fair dealing. It should be surmount- ed by a life size figure of Hoper as a memento of the case, which will long go echoing down the corridors of state politica.-:ilinneapolis Press. Hastings has been given justice at the hands of the legislature, and the fourth hospital for the insane will be located on the beautiful site offered on the bank of the Vermillion. The Rice County delegation voted solidly for Hastings. -Morristown Press. Anoka threatens to vote the demo- cratic ticket if she doesn't get that hospital. This looks like shortening her nose out of malice against her face. The rest of the state can stand it if Anoka can. -St. Paul Dispatch. It is not a virtuous reputation that Mr. Roper, of the fourth insane asy- lum commission, has gained for him- self, whatever else he gained by chang. ing his vote from favoring Hastings to Anoka. -Appleton Tribune. In spite of it being generally un- derstood that Anoka was to have the fourth insane asylum, the matter again came up for a vote, which re- sulted in favor of Hastings. -Echo Enterprise. And now the people of Hastings are sitting up nights waiting for the fourth hospital for the insane, and it looks as it their watchings would not be in vain. -Northfield News. Hastings has won the fight for the fourth asylum of the state. There is nothing like staying with it as long as there is a chance to hang on.- Colotto Enterprise. Hastings, it is said, may secure that fourth hospital after all. Well, there is some consolation even in hope.--Henderao* Independent. Hastings gets the asylum atter all. Anoka was knocked out in the first round. -Carver Free Press. HASTINGS, MINN., SATURDAY. MARCH 20, 1897. INS POWDER Absolutely Pure. Celebrated for it, great leavening sttungth and healthfulness.

The supper and card party will be given at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Daly. Again the Dog In the Manger. It ;s vastly amusing to see how suddenly the Minneapolis papers, particularly The Journal, have dis- covered that the state of Minnesota does not need a fourth hospital for the insane at all. It needed it tre- mendously two years ago, when the bill authorizing the selection of a site was before the legislature. It needed it still more when Minneapolis repre- sentatives on the commission and Minneapolis influences behind it brought about the change of site over which all this controversy has since arisen. It has needed it right along through the present le•:•islative session while the Anoka -Hastings contest was before the two houses. There was never a whisper as long as that fight was undecided, or while it seemed probable that Anoka would win, to the effect that the asylum itself would be anything else than a dire necessity. Now that Hastings has virtually won, the Minneapolis news- papers begin to favor us with long disquisitions on the superfluous pro- vision made by Minnesota for the care of the insane. We are told that patients could be provided for in existing hospitals just as well as not, and that the proposed expense should he cut off. We should think that even local feeling could hardly stimulate a news- paper to such shamless stultification as this. It is a pure case of the old dog in the manger disposition. It does not even touch directly these Minneapolis newspapers. Not be- cause their own city is to lose any- thing, but because the city which they favored has lost in a fight where it certainly had every advantage on its side, except that of being right, they are filled with the determination to prevent the possible gain that' might accrue to some other city. Wo do not propose to discuss now the issue of the desirability of a fourth hospital. That ground was gone over thoroughly and convinc- ingly onvinceingly more than two years ago, and the people were satisfied. We do wish to let the public have a glimpse of the policy that prevails, at least in some newspaper offices, in our sister city.-&, Paul Globe. Moor Teases. Supt. T. B. McKelvy was in the city yesterday. G.B. Schoepf, of St. Louis Park, is the guest of Ald. J. P, Johnson. Mr. and Mrs. B. P. Cadwell left yesterday to take up a residence at Gresham, Neb.

Cannon It is amusing to bear the Anoka papers whine and squirm now that the report of the special committee of investigation into the manner and method of locating the proposed new fourth insane hospital has opened up a possibility that justice may in the end be done to Hastings.

The doe- tor'e helpmate is eurnmoned and is in- formed that the visitor is a patient of the doctor and lives (in one instance) in Newark, N. J. He is anions to set- tle a bill of $29 and sake the wife to gtvo a receipt for that sum. The good wife, overcome both by the vision of a $90 debt being settled and also by the flattering remarks of the pleasant man- nered fellow, gives the receipt. In ex- change he presents a certified cheek for $95, gets the $5 in change, and -well, in due time the poor doctor jots down in his account book on the credit side, For experience, $5.

While skating is now one of the most popular sports of the winter season it is only comparatively a few years sinoe it has become so iu this city. When the Central park was being constructed in 1860 and the email artificial lake at Fifty-ninth street was nearly completed, the park commissioners announced that it would be thrown open for the nee of skater,, A few men took advantage of the invitation, but women could not be induced to go on the fee. The ekates then in use were of the moot antique pattern, some of the runners extending a long way in front of the foot, ending in, a ringlike ourl. In a crowd these skates were quite dangerous, and the first year skating was anything except popular. Daring the next winter the larger lake at the upper end of the mall was in such condition that it could be tined for skating. Hero There was more room for the sport, but still the women could not be induced to venture on the ice. A number of gentlemen determined to overoome this prejudice and organized the New York Skating club, having a regulation patterned skate, almost even with the sole of the boot, which was laced up tight to the ankle, while the objectionable strap was done away with, the runner being fixed to the solo while in use by a ball and socket and held firmly with a clamp. These be- came popular that winter with the meal, and a lighter kind was made for wom- en. The prejudice, however, still ex- isted among the latter, until tbo club Invited a lady, who was a find skater, from Portland, Mo., to visit We Oen- tral park and skate with the club. This lady wore a pretty and appropriate dress, similar to that worn in winter by women skaters in Europe, and she created nab a tensatiort by her artistic skating as to attract much notice. The result was that before the season ended several young ladies were induced by the club to venture on the ice, and the season of 1869-8 found many, with pretty costumes, enjoying the sport A series of carnivals were arranged by the club during the following season, and skaeing in the evening became one of the fashionable winter amusements. -New York Mail and Express.

The legislature has been trying to right the wrong done to Hastings in the matter of the location of the fourth insane hospital by the commis- sion first locating it there and then voting to locate it at Anoka. Both houses of the legislature have voted to locate the institution at Hastings, and in doing so they have no doubt expressed the honest sentiment of tate people of the state. The senator and both representatives from this county voted with the majority in favor of Hastings. In the debate in the house Representative t-nderleak said that this was the second time the legisla- ture had been called upon to act in a judicial capacity. and prejudices should be laid aside. It was the duty of the legislature to maintain the spirit of the laws, r'o that the people might respect them. The change of the location once made was a dishon- orable act, which should not he toler- ated in a public matter any more than it would he countenanced in,a private transaction. The notion of the cern). tnission e nt- mission was so tainted that even if the sites were equally desirable. which he did not admit, the legislature should rebuke the action that was taken.-Redit.ster Bet. After two years of anguish and travail the fourth asylum for the insane has been located at Hastings by the legislature. The commission appointed by the legislature in 1895 to locate it first decided in favor of Hastings, and then on reconsideration it was changed to Anoka. Thus a contest between these two towns brought the matter into the legislature. and Hastings won. The commission had already paid $15.0110 for a site at Anoka, and this may have to be lost. The site at Hastings is a very beauti- ful one. and the inmates will be lured back to sanity if landscape scenery can do it. • * * Anoka made a gal- lant fight, but the fact that the origi- nal vote of the commission was for Hastings carried the day, as the legis- lature wanted the whole matter to ap- pear like all the rest of its work, above suspicion. Even the offer of a bonus of a hundred inmates if it was located near the head of the lakes was not considered. We hope the matter will be dropped good naturedly, but it looks now as if the asylum might take the place of sixteen to one as the issue of the next campaign -Bole's Budget. It does not pay always to be over sharp as Anoka may find to her cost when the location of the new insane asylum is finally decided upon. Per- sonally we, in this section of the state, would give our vote in favor of Anoka in preference to Hastings, but in so do- ing we should only be favoring our own selfish interests regardless of the benefits to accrue to the people of the state at large. From the testimony given Hastings appears to offer the most suitable site, but then we have not seen it and are entirely willing to leave the whole vexatious question to the supreme wisdom, impartiality, and intelligence of the legislature.- Isasti Pieu.

THE GAZETTE. IRVING TODD & SON. SATURDAY. MAR. 27th. 1897. SECOND EDITION. If the friends of Hastings are so sure there is nothing in the charges wade against Mr. Chapel. of St. Paul, why don't they proceed to investigate? It won't take lung to find out the truth of the matter, and just think how much thunder they would get if they could show that the story is unfounded. It would be the best play they could possi- bly snake, but they know as well as the do that the exposure would forever blase the hope of the two dirtiest cities in the state.—Anoka herald. As Mr. J. H. Block sats that the report is an absolute falsehood. there is apparently very little left to inves- tigate,. The matter might properly be referred to their grand jury, now that they are through roasting their county commissioners for alleged malfeasance in office. The health department in Minneap- olis report over three hundred cases of typhoid fever thus far for March, twenty-four of which Dave resulted fatally. Nine -tenths of the cases are ascribed to the use of the city water. All they need is an asylum at Anoka to turn its sewerage into the river above the mains. It would be more effectual than winter cholera. Gov. Clough's veto of the bill lo- cating the fourth insane hospital at Hastings is not unexpected by those who know him best. The action is entirely in keeping with his course in the mr.tter from beginning to end. and with the decided majority in both houses a two-thirds vote ought to be obtained next week in favor of right and justice. C. H. Pierce, of The Northfield News, has been appointed superin- tendent of the house document room at Washington. The selection is not only a good one, but it also reduces Capt. A. H. Reed to the ranks, where he properly belongs. The Anoka Union philosophically rem_s.rks that "lloper may not be the only bad man on that commission, after all." • This statement is respect- fully referred to the tin horn states- man from St. Cloud for reconsidera- tion. The recent decision of the supreme court of the United States in relation to railroad pooling associations is forcing these • organizations out of existence at a rapid rate. The out- come is decidedly problematical. Gov. Clough has appointed J. S. O'Brien, of Stillwater, as surveyor of logs and lumber in the first district, to succeed J. G. Nelson. The new official is a democrat, and president of the board of prison managers. The i`e-nomination of Mayor George Parker at the democratic convention Thursday was a well deserved com- pliment to one of the most faithful officials that Hastings ever had. He will be elected by acclamation. The Staples bill locating the fourth insane asylum at Hastings and ap- propriating $15,000 for the purchase of a site passed the senate Thursday by a vote of thirty-eight to fifteen. George Kelly was hanged at Centre City early Tuesday morning for the murder of Edward Paul and Jacob Hayes at Wyoming last July. This is the last day that names can be filed with the city clerk to go upon the pink ballot. Anoka may boycott somebody sometime for something, but we don't imagine it will be any particular loss to any one save and except some local politician. No doubt the people are disappointed and mad; don't know as we blame them much, but• they were simply taking the same chances of winning or losing that Hastings did. Anoka had the best of the fight until the fourteenth round, when klastings swung on the jugular and 'cured a victory.—Stillwater Gazette. 'that Mr. Caswell, of Anoka, is making about as big a Balaam's ani- mal of himself as Hastings could possibly hope for him to do. Anoka probably feels that fool friends at .home cost her that asylum.—St. Peter Herald. The asylum contest between Anoka and Hastings has finally been settled by the state legislature. Hastings is to have the site and Anoka is to fur- nir'i the inmates.— Winona Herald. Hastings wins its fight for the lo- cation of the fourth asylum for the insane. Without doubt the decision of the legislature is a wise one. — Win- nebago aty Enterprise. • 41(1110 POWDER Absolutely. Pure. Celebrated for its great leavening strength and healthfulness. Assures the food against alum and all forms of adulteration common to the chew brands. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., New York. Another Lie Nailed. Sheriff J. H. Block, of St. Peter, says that in his opinion, to speak mildly, Editor Caswell, of The Anoka Herald, is an acrobatic prevaricator, or at least has a very meagre regard for the whole truth. No oue has tak- en a greater interest in the Hastings - Anoka fight than Mr. Block has. He is a member of the board of trustees for state insane hospitals, and he was one of the members of the famous commission that located the fourth asylum, first at Hastings and then at Anoka, being one of the original three who voted for Anoka and who stood by Anoka all the way through. Two weeks ago Editor Caswell, of The Anoka Herald, gave out a story to The Times to the effect that Mr. Block had been offered $2,000 to vote for Hastings instead of Anoka, and had refused. The very next day Senator Whitney read The Times' article, and on the strength of it in- troduced a resolution to investigate the charges of bribery, which Caswell specified and went so far as to bolster up with alleged witnesses. Mr. Block has remained very silent, ex- cept to a few friends. Yesterday he gave vent to his feelings. He said, "I have a right to talk as I do, for I have been for Anoka from the first, ancj have fought eagerly and earnestly for that city, though with absolute fairness. I want to say that I am not only disgusted, but am very indignant that this resolution•,- should be pre- sented in the senate by the friends of Anoka before they consulted me as to the truth of the charges. It ought to have been done, in fairness to my- self. In a way it casts reflections on me, for if I knew of such a charge and had been silent all this time I was guilty of a gross wrong in not making it public myself as soon as it occurred. But I want to say that it is absolutely false. It is all poppy- cock, a false story gotten up at a late hour to cause delay. If I had ever been approached as Caswell intimates and charges I should have said some- thing before this. But the fraud is evident on its own face. Why, if such a charge was true and could be proven, would we not have used it in this fight? Certainly, for it would have won our case for us. But it was not brought up before the senate when the matter was being investi- gated just because it was not true. I was for Anoka from the first, and voted for Anoka through the whole fight. I still think I was right. But I cannot countenance such methods, even when used by my own partisans, I am sure these absurd tactics hurt our cause no little bit"—Minneapolis Times, 24th.

MARCH 27, 1897. From Minnesota to Mexico. I1. The Galveston of 1897 is quite a different town from that of our former visit in 1888. Then the question of a government appropriation was in a very similar position to that of the Hastings -Anoka fight over the fourth insane hospital, their outer harbor having only a capacity for vessels drawing thirteen feet of water, a practical drawback to any port of more than local reputation. Now the expenditure of six millions of dollars in the jetties have deepened the chan- nel at the bar to twenty-five feet, and the flags of all nations are displayed at the two miles of wharves, with the loading and unloading of freight of every conceivable description. The benefit of a cash market at greatly increased prices is felt for hundreds of miles beyond the borders of the Lone Star State, the exports of the past year having increased sixty per cent.

The commandment to abstain from all appearances of evil finds a fit illue- tratien in the Anoka and Hastings controversy. Whether there was anything really wrong done by per- sons favoring Anoka as the place for the fourth insane asylum has never been proven. but appearances were dead against the workers for location at that city and it was this alone that finally brought the triumph of Hast- ings and the humiliation of Anoka. It pays to be square.—Cu.non Falls Beacon. NI per rear la *Isaac*. WI tee rear it sea fl■ Advataee. It is to be hoped that Gov.

We cer- tainly hope the governor will not veto the bill as there has been bills enough vetoed by our past president during the last few years without our governor getting in his work that way.

"Yes, professor, I am afraid I shall have to rent or sell the farm; my wife is so miserable. I cannot carry it on without hiring, and hiring eats np all the profits." I looked at the speaker admiringly. He was about 50 years old, and as ro- bust as a man of 30. His whiskers were neatly trimmed, showing a full, red cheek. He wore a jaunty hat and natty cutaway coat, and below his vest hung a single fob and heavy gold seal. I was proud of him. He was such a perfect specimen of a New York gentleman from the rural districts that I wanted to imprint his picture on my memory. "So your wife is miserable?" "Yes. Kinder drooping, with a dry cough and no ambition. She just kinder drags around the house and looks so peaked and scrawny it gives me the bines. It does, I swan." "Naturally weakly, wasn't she?" "She! Oh, no. When I married her, she was the smartest girl on the creek. She used to work for my father, and the way she made the work stand around took my eye. She was a poor girl and her industry got her a rich husband." Here he took out a gold watch, Looked at the time, put it back and adjusted the silk fob on the front of his nicely fitting trousers. "So she did well, getting married on account of her industry?" "Why, of course. She was getting only $2.50 a week, and she became mis- tress of a farm." "Excuse me, but how mach are you worth now—confidentially, yon k low? I am a scientific man and will never use such facts to your injury with the assessor." "Well, professor, I could crowd $50,- 000 pretty hard." "That is good. How long have you been married?" "Thirty years next Fourth of July. We went down to Albany on a little teeter, and I proposed the match and Jane was willing." "How much do you suppose you have made in these 30 year?" "Hum—um—lemme see. I got the Davis farm the first ten years, then I run in debt for the Simmons place, got war prices for my cheese and squared up both places. Well, I think I have cleared up $30,000 since we spliced." "Very good indeA. And your wife has been a great h* all this time?" "Oh, you bete She was a rattler! She took care of her baby and the milk from 20 cows. I tell you she made the tinware flop! Why, we have had four children, and she never had a hired girl over six mouths in that time." "Splendid, and you have cleared $30,- 000 in that time?" "Yes, easy." "Now, how much has yonr wife made?" "She? Why, durn it, professor, she is my wife." "I know it. But what has she made? You say she was poor when you married her. Now, what has she made?" "Why, you beat all! Why, she is my wife, and we own it all together." "Do you? Then she can draw on your bank account? Then she has a horse and carriage when she wants them? Then she has a servant girl when she wants one? Then she rides out for her health, and has a watch and gold chain as you do? Is that so?" "Professor, you must be crazy. No- body's wife is boss in that shape. Who ever heard of such a thing?" "Now, look here. You say she did well in marrying rich, and I cannot see it. If she was getting $2.50 per week when you married her and bad saved her wages, she would have had now $9,600. If she had invested it, she would have had $5, 000. Now you tell me she is broken down, used up and miserable, and looks so badly she makes yon sick, and she has no money, no help and will probably get nothing but a Scotch granite tombstone when she dies." "Professor, if you was a younger man, I would lick you quicker'n a spring lamb can jump a thistle." "What for? I am stating this case fairly, am I not? Your wife is no longer young. She is no longer handsome. Her hands are as hard as a local editor's cheek, and she has stooped over a milk oan until she has a hump on her back like a peddler." "Shut up, will you?" "She has raised four children. One of them is at college. One is taking mu- sic lessons in Boston. The other two are teaching school. She is at home alone, going around in a treadmill life which will end in a rosewood coffin and a first class country funeral"— "Stop that, professor, will you?" "While yon are still a handsome man, with just enough gray in your whiskers to make you look interesting. No doubt you have been thinking of some nice young girl of 18 who would jump at the chance to marry your 30 cows and 20 acres of hops." "Professor, I won't stay here if you don't let np on that." "And your wife does not look well in that new Watertown wagon, so you take your hired man and neighbor's girls to meeting. Your wife never goes anywhere, so you do not get her a watch like your own, nor a new silk dress, nor a pony that she could drive, nor a bas- ket phaeton that she could climb into without a ladder. She never says any- thing, so you have not got her a set of teeth like your own, gold and rubber, and her nose is pushed up into her fore- head and her face wrinkles. She never goes out. She has to work in the kitchen, so she gets no nice shoes like yours." "Darn my skin if I don't"— "No, you won't You will just let her work right along, and then you will marry some high flier who will pull every hair out :d your head and serve yon right too." "Professor, for mercy's sake, stole!" r "When you know, and I know, that if your wife had a chanoe to rest and bad nice clothes like other women she would be one of the beet looking women of her age in the town." "I swan I believe it." "And, old as she is, if you were to get out the carriage next Sunday and drive around with the colts and tell her you wanted her to go to meeting with you, she would actually blush with pleasure." "Darned if I don't do it." "Then, Monday, if you were to tell her you were going to hire a girl, and that she must sit in the sitting room by the new nickel plated coal stove and work on that new silk dress you are go- ing to buy her"— "Professor, that's me.'' "And then hand her a nice wallet with steel clasps and with five nice new $20 notes in it, and tell her to do her own trading after this, because you have got tired looking after so much money." "I will, as sure as you live." "And then, when the tear starts in her eye, and the same old blush comes out that you thought was so nice when you went on that teeter to Albany, if you would kiss her"— "It's all right, professor." "Then, my friend, I should begin to think she had made something by mar- rying a rich man." "You're right, old man." "Then I think you wouldn't have a miserabre wife any longer. Then you would no longer want to sell or rent the farm, but would be showing the mother of your children how much you reepeot- ed her for her life of devotion. Then she would know she was a partner in that $80,000. Then, if you made your will all right, and she had a good rest, I think she would some time be an eli- gible widow." "Think so, professor?" "I know it. Woman is a plant that wants sunshine. You have been leaving your wife in the shade too much. She has lost her color. You have made her think she is an old woman. She has given up all hope of admiration and love, and is only waiting to die and get out of the way. Suppose you were treat- ed so?" "What me? I am all right." "Yes, I know. Women pity you be- cause you are tied to such a sorry look- ing wife. Foolish old maids and silly girls whisper behind your back what a nice looking man you are, and what a stick of a wife you have, and you are just soft enough to wear tight boots and oil what little hair you have left on the top of your head and go around figuring up how long before your wife will die." "Say now, see here, professor, there is a limit to endurance. I am going." "I am coming down to see you next week. Will it be all right?" "Yes, if you drop this kind of talk and won't tell of my complaints about my wife. I'll try your medicine. Would you stick for that prescription about the pocketbook and $20 notes?" "How much did you say you have made together?" "I cave. The dress will be all right, and the pony and phaeton will be handy for the gala Come down and see us, old man, but not a word about this talk. If yon wasn't an old man, I'd"— Tipping his derby back on his head and shaking the wrinkles out of his tight trousers, he put bis hands into his pockets and sauntered away. "There," said I, "is one man who has taken the only legal and God given way of getting rid of a miserable wife." —Exchange. A Pew Words on Books. A good remark -somebody made tame is that if yon own books you do not have to read them. That is, if yon hear of a certain book, you say, "I must get that out of the library and read it." I1 you do so, it is necessary to read it at onoe and return it. If you can buy it, you read what portion satisfies your par- ticular want at the moment, and then there it stands among your other good friends, always ready, like any real friend, to serve yon at a moment's no- tice in any way it can. Indeed, it is a real Mend, because it never deserts you, never goes back ou you, never changes, unless somebody borrows it, and that is not the book's fault. The mere fact that your room is filled with books is a good kind of influence, for there is something in the mere proximity of books that makes a chap serious occasionally and induces him to sit and ponder onoe in awhile in the midat of his grind, his sport, his daily work and his other and less valuable friends at school or college Then, too, in these days, when there are so many hundreds of books a year and so many millions already published, it is utterly impossible to try to read, as the old fellows in the later middle ages used to, everything that is published. It is far better to re -read some good, fa- miliar things again and again. They are good books, they are your especial favorites, and yon will seldom fail to find something new in them each time you read them. It gives you a little idea of how much the writing of then must have meant to their author if you can read them, say, 20 times and still go on finding something yon had not succeeded in discovering in them before. —Harper's Round Table. Meat and Grain. For the successful production of eggs at any season of the year it is necessary that the hens should have a mixed ani- mal and vegetable diet. During the sum- mer months insects and worms are abundant, and fowls having a range can easily supply themselves with animal food, but in the winter this necessity must be supplied if the best results are to be obtained. Meat scraps and green bones are the best substitutes and should be fed at least twice a week. When farmers feed more wheat and lees grain, they will have larger profits from poul- try. The introduction of the green bone cutter also lessens the coat, as cheap bones and meat can be out fine and fed without the necessity of cooking the meat. A fair comparison between grain and meat will show that meat is really cheaper than grain, because it increases egg production and also contains lees waste. A grain fed hen appropriates a large part of it to the storage' of fat, which is not desirable, while lean meat is almost entirely nitrogenous The food which produces no eggs is decidedly the most expensive to use. A Bad Sign. A Welsh county court judge recently had before him a cage in which a printer sued a pork butcher for the value of a large parcel of paper bags with the lat- ter's advertisement printed thereon. The printer, having no suitable illustra- tion to embellish the work, thought he improved the occasion by putting an elaborate royal arms above the man's name and address, but ultimately the latter refused to pay. The judge, looking over a specimen, observed that for his part he thought the lion and unicorn were much nicer than an old fat pig. "Oh, well," d the butcher, "perhaps your hon likes to eat ani- mals like that, but y customers don't I don't kill lions d unicorns. I only kill fat pigs" Verdict for defendant.—London An- swers People Do Read the Papers.. Some persons wonder why engaged people generally prefer to keep their en- gagements as quiet as possible until the day of the wedding. Perhaps the reason lies in the results of a newspaper an- nounoement The other day an engagement wag mentioned in one of the afternoon pa- pers. It was in the last edition of the paper, but early the next morning sev- eral awning makers were at the home of the future bride's parents, soliciting the contract for supplying an awning when the event came off. On the same morn- ing and in the first mail no leas than half a dozen printers and engravers sent samples of their work and quoted prices for which they would be willing to pre- pare the wedding cards according to the latest dictates of fashion. Duhring the remainder of the week milliners, cater- ers, dressmakers, liverymen, furniture dealers, hardware men and dry goods merchants made known their desire to gnpply the future bride and groom with all the outfit that they might need or imagine they needed.

IT AYE TAK'S TWA T' CA' THE KVE. A Painful Meeting. A dramatic story wss told at a Hamil- ton college alumni dinner in New York. General Schuyler Hamilton gave some interesting incidents from the life of his grandfather and described a meeting be- tween Aaron Burr and Mrs. Hamilton, daughter-in-law of Alexander Hamiltam and the mother of the speaker, In 1880. "As Colonel Burr entered the room," he said, "my mother, in extreme agitation, seemed abort . to faint. Colonel Burr, noticing this, but not knowing her, im- mediately went to the sideboard, poured out a glees of water and advanced to hand it to her. It was all done most naturally, gracefully and oonrteonsiy. My mother ahook her head and mur- mured, 'I am the daughter of Alexander Hamilton.' Without a word, Colonel Burr placed the glans of water on the sideboard, bowed to silence to the Mines Nathan and quietly retired. It was to him, as to my mother, evidently a very painful meeting. Colonel Blur deported himself like a dignified gentle- man. I was a little boy about 8 years old.

Grade Crossing Protection Without Any Unsightly Features. A disappearing gate for railroad cross- ings bas been neently patented by Fred- erick Nichols of Lynn, Masa The many advantages of such a gate will be readily understood. Its construction is very wimple, there being no tangs or gears. It is made of sliding and jointing bars and angle irons and can be constructed with- out great expense. A trench about four feet deep is dug on each side of the tracks across the street. The earth sides of this trench are supported by plates of boiler iron, instead of expensive masonry, bolted to U shaped iron castings. To these castiugs is fastened the lower and sta- tionary part of the gate. The alit or opening through which the gate comes up is, of course, protected from dirt, etc., by the top rail of the gate when it ie down and when public travel is pass- ing over it When the gate is up, the opening or alit lir protected, as public travel! over it is stepped. The bottom of the trench is of gravel or concrete, and it is graded toward one end to allow water which does not soak up to ran off into a sewer or blind drain. At the side of this opening, on the street level, are oast iron plateeoovering manholes, which allow a man to go the entire length of trench to oil or adjust any of the movable working parts. The gate is couuterbalanoed with weights, and friction is reduced to a minimum, thus making its operations easy. A bell signal is sounded before the gatos are raised. At night incandes- cent lamps are lighted by contact being automatically made as the gates are raised. Lanterns are used where eleo- trlcity is not available The gates are quick and easy in no- tion, can be operated by one man, where it often requires two by present meth- od& They can be operated from switch or signal tower in many instances They will not interfere with trolley wires or electric car tracks. The gates are raised and lowered by the simple movement of a lever on which is a latch, securing the gate in any position.—Philadelphia Record The Cameron.

Owls are by common consent ad- judged to bo birds of ill omen, but En- gineer Ned Barnett of the Santa Fe says he happens to know that they are anything but that and tells the follow- ing story to prove his assertions: One morning as the east bound over- land was pulling through the mountains west of here, Barnett's engine doing the work, a big born beallpd owl dash- ed against the (rout window of the cab with such force as to break the win- dow, the bird itself dropping dead at the engineer's feet Though Barnett is not, generally speaking, a snperstitdous man, this seemed so singular an occur- rence that he stopped the train and sent a brakeman ahead to see if the way was clear. Strange to relate, the brakeman soon returned. reporting a landslide across the track in the mountain pass about 100 yards ahead. Hands were sent at once to clear the track, and in removing the debris they found another owl, no doubt mate to the first, caught in the crotch of an uprooted tree, crush- ed to death in the fall.

Editor MoCullagh had tamed on "Our Dave," as Mr. Francis is known in St Louis, with his abort paragraphs with telling effect, and Francis' friends got together and concocted a scbemo to offset the editorial work of the paper. They wrote out a display advertisement, and at a late boar of the Saturday morning immediately preceeding the election of 1888 took it to the counting room of The Globe -Democrat The oledt on duty gave the copy a casual looking over and without a word accepted it It occupied a full page, and at length' and in glowing terms set forth the "great business capacity and eminent qualifications of Mr. Francis to occupy the gubernatorial chair of Missouri." That advertisement maned the big- gest row ever witnessed in a newspaper office in St. Lomb. When Editor Mo- Cullagh found what had been done, bo raged and stormed for a week. The fast mail had distributed the paper all over Missouri before McCullagh had his at- tention called to it He left his quarters at the Southern hotel on a trot Reach- ing the corner of Fourth and Pine streets, he found the streets and the office of The Globe -Democrat jammed with people, who were clamoring to stop their subecrlptiona. McCullagh had filled a column on the editorlaj page with "squibs" strongly opposing Fran- cis and advocating the Republican nom- inee, but the big display of Francis' friends was the first thing seen on open- ing taper. Mr. MoCullagh at once issued an ex- tra, in which be deprecated the over- sight by which the advertisement had found its way into the paper, but it was some time before The Globe -Dem- ocrat foe recovered its equilibrium.— St. Lonis Letter in Chicago Beoord.

At that boar old Hannah Berry used to arrive from the village, the coppery+ were heated and the maids at work. The ladies' maids, who were expected to do all the fine mualins, etc., themselves, had also always to be at the washtubs at 8 a. m.—by candlelight If any ono was late, tbo housekeeper reported to Mrs. Leyoester, who was soon down upon them pretty sharply. Generally, however, her real practical kindness and generosity prevented any one minding Mrs. Leyoeste!'e severity. It Was looked upon as only "her way," for people were not so tender in those days as they are now, and certainly no servants would have thought of giving np a place which was essentially a one because they were a little roughly hetudled by their mistresa. In those days servants were as liable to personal ohasstieement as the children of the house and would as little thought of resenting it "You don't appose I'm going to hurt my hand box- ing your ears, " said granny when about to chastise the school children abe was teaching, and she would take up a book from the table and nee it soundly, and then say. "Now we mustn't let the oth- er oar be jealous, " and turn the child round and lay on again on the other side. Granny constantly boxed her housemaids' ears, and. alias, when l o grew very old, she used to box aleer grandpapa's, though she loved him dear- ly, the great source of offense being theft bo would sometimes slyly give the sere - ant's elbow n tip when his daily tabit- apoonlul of brandy was being poured Out: Pearls A.plenty. A enriotus effect of the piagne in India has been a iradden increase in the num- ber of pearls reaching the London mar- ket and a consequent marked fall in prices. This is not dno to unusual in- dustry on the part of the divers, but to the fact that the native dealers at Bom- bay have been in such haste to quit the stricken city that they have eagerly dis- posed of their wares at far below the customary market value..

Early Sunday morning our train of nine sleepers was halted at Eagle I Pass, waiting for sunrise before cros- sing the Rio Grande'. One had been sent back to St. Louis with those un- able to continue the trip. At six o'clock the border was passed, and at Ciudad Porfirio Diaz, the first sta- tion in the sister republic, a halt was niatle for breakfast and a nominal in- spection of baggage at a very long range. Here we were met by the mayor and other officials, with a fine brass band, the reception being a most cordial one and duly apprecia- ted.

Hastings gained eleven votes in the memorable struggle on Tuesday, but the Minneapolis governor by threats and promises succeeded in pulling ten away, leaving us eight short of the necessary- two-thirds. The state pat- ronage is a formidable lever in the hands of an unscrupulous politician, and has been used for all that it was worth from start to finish. The governor's veto of the Staples bill locating tlfe fourth insane asylum at Ilastings and appropriating $T5,000 for the purchase of a site was sus- tained in the house on Tuesday by a vote of sixty-eight to forty-four. The influences which led to this result will most assuredly be heard from in the future politics of the state. Very little interest has been taken in the city election next Tuesday, owing'to the insane hoespital -fights There etre a number of good )nen on the ticket, well deserving of support, and a close contest is anticipated for of the offices.

There will be no fourth insane hos- pital this year, because the governor of .Minneapolis is a bigger man than the state legislature. George Seibert. the well known musical conductor of St. Paul. died on Sunday of peritonitis, aged sixty- one years. While we are of the opinion that it was an outrage to change the loca- tion of the fourth hospital for the in- sane from Anoka to Hastings as was done by the legislature, our ardor for the former place has cooled very ma- terially since reading The herald's threat to take revenge at the next election. That is the Sioux Indian's rnethod of revenge. In doing this the people of Anoka would possibly injure many who have been her warmest friends in this entire contest, and perhaps not hit a single individ- ual enemy.-Tocld County Argus. The St. Cloud Journal -Press calls upon Gov. Clough in a column and a half editorial to veto any bill locating the fourth insane hospital at Hastings. Have not the ('lough people already' done enough to wreck the republican party in Minnesota? Must we carry this insane hospital scandal into the next state election? And is the Clough gang determined to hog every- thing or throw the state over to the populists?-3fiebray Sews. Gov. Clough thinks he has beaten Ilastings out of the insane hospital, but he is very much mistaken. The legislature will not appropriate the money to build it until the next leg- islature meets, then Joel P. Heatwole will be governor, and it will then be located at Hastings and the money appropriated to build it with. -Lake- ville Arbitrato,-, money -our watches being thirty- seven minutes fast and an American dollar comm:unlin,, $1.95 in current coin -and a cursory stroll through a quaint little town of ten thousand.

Mum la •e .I 'k Tuesday evening we arrived at Silao, a typical Mexican town num- bering some twenty-two thousand. The next morning found us in Guana- juato, one of the great mining cities, claiming a population of seventy thousand, and connected with the former place by a branch road. It lies in a pocket of the mountains, with narrow, irregular streets more like paths than roads, upon which a wheeled vehicle is seldom seen. Sil- ver was discovered here soon after the conquest, the output being esti- mated at fully one-fourth of the entire product of the country; and the me -U.1, is still obtained by the primitive pleocess of grinding the ore with blindfolded mules, driven by barelegged peals-_ An inspection of one of these reduction works was indeed a curiosity. A visit was also paid to the jail, the mint, the govern- ment buildings, the cathedrals, the new theatre costing aymillion of dol- lars, winding up with a burro rice"to At Aguas Calientes was spent nearly the whole of Tuesday. It is an attractive city of about forty thousand. named for the hot springs in the immediate vicinity. The water is piped through town to the bath houses, of which our party took im- mediate possession. They are large, clean, and well appointed, the prices varying from twenty to thirty cents, depending upon the number of towels furnished. Here was the home of the drawn work, so dear to the eyes of the ladies as well as to the pocket books of their husbands and fathers. Some of the designs were exquisite, but there have been so many eager tourists of late that bargaining has become exceedingly vexatious and annoying. Of course no one thinks of offering half of the first quotation on anything. The usual formula is "cinco pesos; what you give?" The following incident is taken from The Jerseyville (III.) Democrat: A block is built up solid and looks to the foreigner like tl solid wall fifteen feet high, with openings in it. There are no yards connected with the houses. and a stranger cannot tell where one house be- gins and the other ends, except occasional- ly there is a variation in the coloring of the front. As you walk along the side- walk you peer into one of the openings. and in some cases see a court yard farther back. These,.however, are only kept by the wealthy class. In these court yards 'ire beautiful trees and tropical plants. As a party of six of us were wandering through the streets of Calientes we noticed one of these court yards in which were a Large number of bowers. and thinking it some public building entered. Soon a lady came and by her pleasant manner made us feel at home, although we could not understand a word she said, neither could she understand us. She called the man in charge of the flowers and gave to each of the ladies with us some of the most beautiful ones. She then said piano, and as this word is the same in Spanish as it is in English, we understood It, and she took us into a beautifully furnished room in which was a handsome piano. and as one of our party. Miss Todd, of Minnesota• could play, the lady insisted upon having some music. Presently she went to the door and called in Spanish some names, and three handsome young ladies, evidently her daughters, came in and one of them played some very fine music for us. We refer to this to show the hospitality extended by the Mexican - (11(0r'(53 ¶ Gumugo the Panteen Municipal, commonly known as the catacombs. As there is so little room for the living, still greater economy is practiced in the disposal of the dead.

It was opened in 1861. with a record of one hundred and twenty- two thousand, one hundred and sixty- nine burials at the encs of 1896. The_ wealthier people are placed in pigeon e holes built in the walls, the poorer MONDAY. classes in the ground, one above another, with perhaps six inches of soil between. By reason of climatic conditions a number of the bodies are found like mummies upon disinter- ment, and are stood up in rows down- stairs, a gruesome spectacle. and then the spires and domes of the city of Mexico, which is reached just before sunset. No Escape from Scandal. In whatever way the legislature may dispose of the governor's veto of the Hastings asylum 1411 the whole matter, it must be ooufessed, has ab- solved itesit into a scandal, and its record a smirch upon the fair name of the state. There is ample evidence to show, that the following is the order of events in the history of the .ease: The commission, which was appoint- ed to select ' t file location, wast e<I i P get , tb the extent of a majority at least, Lo select Anoka as the site before the appointments were made (this upon the authority of Senator Culkin, who led the fight for Anoka in the acuate); then the superior advantages of hast- ings became so apparent that Anoka lost a vote; then the planets Eastman and Roper came in perihelion, and the light shone on Anoka; then the legislature investigated, found the Anoka site a quagmire and the means by which it was chosen as open to criticism as the site iteelt, and re- versed the commission; then the governor vindicated the assertion of Senator Culkin that the commission was instructed to select Anoka by vetoing the bill which reversed the commission's acts. The original and the final acts, so far as developments appear at this writing, were by the same hand. The governor held his judgment superior to that of the legislature of 1895, and when that body placed the matter of location in the hands of what to sup- posed was to he an impartial commis- sion he took all discretion away from the commission by appointing men, a majority of whom, so it is commonly said, were privately pledged to select Anokit. He was, therefore, perfectly consistent in his veto, for it simply !Nigel) again. hi9 iloottseopt for legislae tive enactment and confirm his first decision that hie judgment was supe- rior to that of the two hundred in- dividuals who participated as mem- bers of the legislature in authorizing the location in 1895, and the two- thirds of the legislature which com- pleted the work in 1897. If the governor's veto is sustained no one will be at a loss to account for the vote by which it is done; if it is reversed, the stigma will merely be shifted from the shoulders of the leg- islature and placed upon the execu- tive. In any event it is an unfortu- nate and deplorable dilemma, and one from which there seems to be no es- cape without dishonor to some one. The lesson, however, will not be without value. Future legislatures, when they are confronted with such a duty, may discharge it themselves in- stead of delegating it to an irrespon- sible agent such as the one who bad the deciding vote in the hospital matter. -.St. Pall Dispatch, SOth.

The failure of the attempt in the house yesterday to pass over the gov cranes veto the bill to locate the fourth hnspitsl for the insane at Hast- ings is the exacted ending of one of the most serious **andel' in the an- nals of Minnesota- We do not need to rehearse again the course of events with whieb our readers have become already too **miller. Atter the in- vestigating cornntittee did its work, and after the two hits had been visit- ed and compared, there seemed to be one thing to do; which was what both houses clitl by passing a bill to place the institution at Hastings. Rein- forced by the veto of the governor, the advocates of Anoka have succeed- ed in defeating that; and thus the agitation will continue, and the echoes of the proeuedings by which this re- sult was reached will still resound within the state. It is unfortunate from every point of view. A far greater misfortune, however, is the practical effect of the failure to net upon the proposition for a fourth hospital. Two years ago the need of it was demonstrated. That need has grown daily tantii this time. Even now insane patient', are sleeping upon the floors of piddle institutions, in the cases where they are fortunate enough to gain admission 00 any terms. Anil it is tide state of affairs. getting worse each year and aggra- vated by every increase of population, which the action of the legislature says shall continue. For it is hardly open to question that no looney will .b© appropriated to build at Anoka. Even if the friends of Hastings had no other feeling in the matter, they have the warrant of the friends of Anoka, who have been telling the public vigorously ever since they were worsted in the legislative battle that we do not have need of such an in- stitution anyway. On their own state- ment they can hardly ask for any ap- propriation; and two years more must roll around before provision can be made for the state's unfortunate. Then only, and after this matter has been carried into a state campaign, will it be possible to reach the end of the contest and the scandal that were born of the unfortunate (to put it mildly) act of the commission and the recent failure to het it right. In the name of all that honors Minnesota we record our disapproval and regret. - St. Parol Globe, 310 ult. This morning's Pioneer Press mild- -het unmistakably unmistiakably calls down Gov. - Clough because he vetoed the Hast- ings insane asylum bill. ''That Gov. Clough should bavoperauaded himself to veto the bill locating the fourth hospital for the insane at Hastings is very unfortunate," That is un- doubtedly true. Tho reasons pre. rented are not new; they have all been presented to the legislature, and it will be generally conceited that a great majority of our legislature in session are as competent to judge of these things as one man, even if he is the governor of tate state. Many people will believe the reasons pre- sented cut no figure, but that the veto was for personal reasons. Whether this be true or not we are not certain, but believe the delay that it will occasion will be a disgrace to our state. That wo need another asylum is plainly evident, or at least should be, to a private citizen or the chief executive of our state. -Still- water Gazette. The Hoard of Audit.

An Unpreciied Gai A Trained Nurse Gained Fifty=three Pounds by Using a Nerve Food. ONE OF THE MOST REMARKIME JL RESULTS 0o1 RECORD. From the Gazette, Yonkers, N. Y. "I don't look much like a living skeleton now, do I ? And yet two years ago I weighed just seventy-two pounds," said Mrs. J. W. Coffey, of 56 Warburton Avenue, Yonkers, N. Y., to a reporter. And we agreed with her, for she certainly looked anything hut 4 living skeleton, but rather bore the, appear- ance of a plump and attractive lady in ex- cellent health and spirits. Continuing she said : "I had lost my appetite and was wasting away in tlesh, losing some fifty pounds in a few months. Doctors said I was threatened with consumption. I was under what was regarded as first-class medical treatment, but it had apparently little or no effect, for I kept getting worse until I was so weak that I could not attend to my household duties and could hardly walk. My husband and everybody who saw me thought surely that I would die, and there seemed no help for me. " Tonics and stimulants and medicines all seemed useless, and I grew worse and worse until at last I resolved to seek some new remedy — one entirely out of the usual line of nauseous drugs and doses of stuff which seemed to take away what little relish I might perhaps otherwise have had for food. A friend told me of some wonderful cures effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and I bought a box. The effect from their use was noticeable from the first and soon appeared almost miraculous, for it seemed pretty nearly like the raising of one from the dead. " I soon commenced to eat, something I had scarcely done before for weeks, and soon began to gain in flesh and strength. I went one day to the doctor's office and he was sur- prised at the change in me for the better. I had to confess that I had been taking the pills, and he was broad-minded enough to advise me to continue what was evidently doing me so much good. I took, in all, six boxes, and increased in weight from 72 to 125 pounds, which is my regular and normal weight." "Are you sure the cure is permanent?" " Well, yea. My work is that of a trained nurse, which means, as you probably know, irregular hours and at times great exhaus- tion. During the two years since my re- covery I have had many engagements, and through them all have continued in good health. I take pleasure in bearing testi- mony to the remarkable power of this great medical discovery. I know of other cures effected by it. A friend of mine Buffered greatly at her monthly periods. One box relieved and three boxes cured her. But I kirsys of no case equal to mine, for my situ- ation was critical, desperate and almost hopeless." Mrs. Coffey has lived in Yonkers for six- teen years, and for twelve years has followed the business of attending the sick, excepting only the period of her illness. She has hundreds of acquaintances and friends who know her to be capable and trustworthy. Many of them know how very ill she was and how remarkable was her recovery. The pills have a large sale in Yonkers and West- chester County, which will be greatly in- creased as their merits become better known, for they seem to be one of the medical mar- vels of the age. AN UNitOLICITI•:D TESTIMONIAL, Froin the Democrat, Atlanta, Texas. "Being constantly asked by many of my friends if Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People were doing me any good, I offer this unsolicited testimonial and answer. Never having seen a well day eiuce I had typhoid fetor last steam, r, i could retain scarcely any fool, my limbs and joints ached and pained all the time. It was misery to me to rise tip iu bot and my mind was clouded, in fact was a physical wreck and I felt that my life was drawing to a close, and I must con- fess it was without regret on my part as my sufferings were nimos; unbearable. "Since I commenced to take Dr.Williams' Pink Pills, at the solicitation of my wife, I have taken four Loxes, and I feel like a new man. My appetite is good and I now retain what I eat, uty limbs and joints are free of pain and I haveguined ten pounds in weight. My life feels renewed and while not yet en• tirely well, I feel so much better that I nn- hesitatfngly assert that I believe Pink Pills for Pale -People eople a good medicine for what they are recommended. Knowing that no medicine will save life under all circum- stances or in all cases, yet I do honestly be- lieve that they have prolonged mine, or M least, where all was dark and gloomy and full of suffering it has been changed for the better. " The manufacturers of this medicine do not know of my taking it. Neither am I paid for this statement, but give it freely in answer to friends and the editor of this paper." (Signed.)

Heaton in "The Quilting Bee." HIS TEMPTATION. "Oh, shut up, Macpherson!" Walter Macpherson, medical student, who was thus emphatically addressed, finished the verse of the music hall melody he was singing in his musical, if rather boisterous voice, and then turned toward his companion. "What's up, old man?" he asked, re- garding him with a comical lookof con- cern on his good natured face. "Yon don't look as happy as I've seen you. To quote Glabrio in "The Sign of the Cross:" "Whether is it your liver or your heart that troubles yon? If the former, send for the doctor; if the lat- ter, send for the woman." That advice is invaluable, my dear fellow, and ought to be acted upon at once." Frank Rose pushed the book be had been poring over away from him impa- tiently and rose from the table. He was tall, slightly made lad, very-d?fferent fn appearance frons the stalwart\ Mac- pherson, with whom he had sh ed his lodgings for the lust two sessi s. They were both medical students and in their second last year. "I wish you'd keep your advice to yourself, Macpherson," be said. "I find it difficult enough to study just now; when yon are in the room it's impossi- ble. I cannot imagine how yon ever manage to get through your exame., and with honors too." "Yon see, I'ns not , in love, Ross, and that makes a differen"e. My dear boy," he continued, changing his bantering tone, "I wish you would not worry yourself so much over trifles. Yon will make yourself ill before the end of the session." "Trifles!" Roes exclaimed. "Do you call, it a trifle that I have not seen her for nearly three weeks and that, al- though I know she is in town, ebe bas not even written to let me know her ad • dress? I tell you, it is enough to drive a fellow mad to be engaged to a girl like that!" I Walter Macpherson glanced at Ross' pained, angry face with a look of sym- pathy on his coir handsome one. Then a dark flush crept gradually over it and he busied himself in lighting his pipe. "Have you not seen Miss Wilson late- ly, then?" be asked kindly. He had a disagreeableleeling of disloyalty to his friend in his honest heart as he thought of how only a few nights ago he had met, quite by accident on his part, the young lady in question, and as he had had nothing special to do walked part of the way with her to where she was stay- ing with friends. Somehow he bad omit- ted to mentiou the meeting to Ross, and of course took it for granted that he knew where ebo was living and bad seen her himself. Macpherson had known Lily Wilson for some time and was on friendly terms with her, as being Frank's intended. She and Frank came from the same town, some distance out of Glasgow, and had known each other all their lives. It was an understood thing that the marriage world take place whenever Ross was through. He made no secret to Macpherson of his all absorbing love for Lily, and Walter, who had never been in love as yet, lis- tened good natnredly, wondering some- times if any girl was worth troubling so mach over, and invariably coming to the conclusion that if such a one existed it was Lily Wilson—Lily, with her yel- low hair and tall, willowy figure. For a moment he hesitated whether to tell Ross of the chance encounter or not, then he made up his mind to say nothing about it. He world try to see her again and tell her how much pain she was causing Frank by her silence. Macpherson had grown very fond of his companion within tho last two sessions, and in his own blunt, good natured way would havo done almost anything to save him trouble or pain. "Don't fret over her, Frank," he said, laying his hand on his shoulder. "Yon will see her soon, I'm convinced of that, and then you will laugh at all your fears and doubts about her." And Ross' despondency, as usual, gave way before his friend's cheerful- ness and unfailing influence. That night Walter Macpherson, after his classes were over, went round in the direction of where Lily had told him she was staying in the hopes of seeing her. It was beginning to get dark as he sauntered slowly along toward the gates of the park, where he bad met her the previous evening. He had almost given rep hope of meeting her, when he saw her slim figure come slowly toward him with a book under her arm. He stopped and raised his hat. There seemed an un - ostial glow on Lily's fair face as she gave him her hand. "I have been enjoying the park and a book all afternoon," she said. "We seem destined to meet, Mr. Macpher- son. " "I was in hopes of doing so," Walter said in his blunt way, looking from hie great height at her gracefully poised head and soft blue eyes, which looked almost black in the gathering dusk. "It is too late for you to be wandering about alone. But since wo have met I want to have a talk with you. Let art take a seal in the park for a abort time." Lily tutted with him, and they sat down on an empty Beat near the park gates. After a moment's silence Walter said abruptly: "Frank tells me he has not seen you since yon came to town, Miss Wilson? Forgive mo for interfering, but is that not rather unfair? He is making him- self quite miserable over not hearing from you." "Does he know you have Been me?" Lily asked, her face, which had been flushed a few moments ago, gradually growing pale. "No, I have not told him," Macpher- son answered. "I know it is quite unin- tentional on your part, Mise Wilson, for you could not do an unkind action, but you aro causing him great pain. I can- not bear to see him unhappy. He and I are like brothers, and I know yon will excuse me for pleading with yon on his behalf. Yon cannot have any reason for treating him like this, and ho does not deserve it. I believe he would cut off his right hand sooner than cause you a moment's pain." Lily sat quite still for a few minutes after Walter had ceased speaking. He looked at her in surprise. She seemed different from the bright, vivacious girl she used to be. Had she really intention- ally kept her address from Frank? Wal- ter had never thought of this before, but had put her conduct down to care- lesanesa. At last she raised her head and looked at him in the dusk. "What do you wish me to do?" she asked in a low voice. "To eee Frank at once and put an end to his anxiety and unhuppiness, of course. Surely, Miss Wilson, that is what he might naturally expect from his future wife!" Lily turned ou him soddenly and laid her small white gloved band ou his arm. "You ask me to do this?" she aaked passionately. A curious thrill ran through Walter's arm as she touched him. „Y„ ea, he answered steadily, "I ask you to do this. Surely it is the mode of action your own heart would dictate?" "Oh," Lily said in the same low, pas- sionate tone, "you will force me to speak plainly and humiliate myself to the dost! Have yon not seen that the bond between Frank and me has become intolerable, unbearable to me—ever since—I—met--you?" The last words were almost a whis- per, but Walter heard them. His heart gave a wild throb, then almost ceased to beat. What undreamed of, unheard of thing had happened? Walter Mac- pherson had none of that vanity with which some men are so plentifully en- dowed, and he had never thought of the possibility of any woman falling in love with him. And Lily—careless, beauti- ful Lily! For a moment he thought be must have dreamed that she whispered those last words, then as he saw her face be realized that it bad been no dream. Walter thought she had never looked so beautiful as she did now. They were all alone ivat heir corner of the park, and a pale yehbw moon was beginning to abed its raye on Lily's golden hair and dark, slight figure so close beside him. For a moment a wild longing to draw her into his arms came over Walter; to take the prize that was so euddenly thrown within his reach. Was it not his by right after what she had said? Then, suddenly remembering Frank, he put the temptation from hint. Was he going to betray his friend who had trusted him with his whole heart? A dark flush rose to his brow. "1 am erre you do not mean what your words imply, Miss Wilson," he said. "Believe me, I shall not think of them again. Remember Frank, who has not a thought apart from yon, whose ambitions, hopes and dreams for the fa- tere aro all centered round you, and when the time comae be the true and loving wife to him that he deserves. " Lily, listening to his grave, calm words, did not guess the wild tumult that lay beneath the outward composure. She only felt that she bad humiliated herself in vain, and she hid her face in her hands. A few days later Frank Ross burst into the little sitting room where Mao- pherson was poring over bis books and executed a dance more distinguished for its violence than its grace in front of Walter's astonished eyes. "Congratulate me, old fellow! Lily has consented to marry me atone. She is an angel and says the does not mind being a little poor for a year or two un- til my studies are finished. She agrees with me that long engagements are a vast mistake. What a cad I was ever to doubt the dearest, sweetest girl that ever lived! You mutt be beet man, Wal- "With all nay heart," answered Mac- pherson, giving him his hand. Frank, in his happiness, which is apt to bring with it selfishness, did not notice that his friend's face looked white and drawn. "And I wish you both the best of everything that life can give." "Thanks, old chap," Frank said as he clasped Macpheraon's hand.—Scot- tish Nights. A Good Suggestion. A correspondent of a Boston paper says: "As far as I have observed, when- ever a food preparation is put into a package with printed matter the printed side is invariably placed near the article of food, which often happens to be of a standard and superior quality. Why not reverse the printed slip? Printing ink is not nutritious, palatable or wholesome, and such food. packages, if allowed to remain unopened for a long time and if exposed to heat and moisture, mast de- teriorate in quality and may even be- come unwholesome." Modern ideas are eminently useful sometimes Nowadays when a man goes wrong he blames either his environment, oironmatanoes or his grandmother.— Boston Home JonrnaL SUBMARINE CABLES. The Difficulties' Encountered In Beading M•esags at Prrlttable Speed. While submarine cables eosin now be made of any length and at comparutia^ly small cost, great difficulties are still en- countered in sending mcrsages et a commercially profitable speed, and theme difficulties increase wide the length of the line. In long cables there is a trou- blesome retardation of the electric cur- rent, due to the fact that the insulating cover of the Dopper strands becomes it- self electrified, and this surface charge delays messages by preventing the cur- rent at the beginning of any signal from rising rapidly to its maximum and again from rapidly dying out. Tho consequence of this is that while from 400 to 600 words a minute eau be sent over a land line, the maximum speed on au Atlantic cable is somewhere about 82 words a minute. Before the "siphon reoorder" and Lord Kelvin's "curb sender" were invented, the maximum speed was eight or ten words per min- ute. Curiously enough, the more perfect the cable's insolation may be the greater is this retardation, and alight leaks in this covering often increase for the time the line's working capacity. The oorrosive action of the salt water is mo- tive at Ruch points, however, and will soon cause a break in the cable. Professor Silvanus P. Thompson of the Royal society of England has in- vented a system of cable construction by which he expects not only to increase the capacity of the present lines, but to make practicable the covering of the 8,600 ranee which separate Hawaii from North America. His plan is to make a cable with two separate conductors in- closed in the same armor, so as to forret a oomplete circuit, and every 100 or 150 miles ho will introduce stretches of cable with three such conductors, the third being a wire of high resistance, the purpose of which is to act as a sort of artificial and protected leak. One end of this third wire will be connected with the positive conductor and the other with the negative one. 13y this device the static charge on one wire will neu- tralize that on the other, and all retarda- tion will bo avoided The expectation is to multiply four or five times the number of words now sent over Atlantic cables, to increase to 70 or 80 the 12 words per minute that could be sent over a single core cable to Hawaii, and raise from 15 to 76 the words sent from London to Cape Town.—New York Times • NO BLOOD SPILLED. But the Duel Was Fought, and Everybody Wes Satisfied. Every ono who knows anything abort Major Winton knows that bo is without a spark of physical cowardice. That is the reason that he incurred no risk in telling the story that follows: "Right after the war I went to Texas and formed a business partnership with a rough but brave and big hearted native. We leased and stocked an extensive cat- tle ranch, hired our cowboys and estab- lished a little community of our own. My partner superintended affairs at the ranch while I did the dealing, the pur- chase of supplies included. This took me to the nearest market, and, as it was too soon for the prejudices between the two great erections of the country to be entirely allayed, I was very careful to talk nothing but business "But ono day in the hotel an ex -colo- nel who had taken on extra steam at the bar so persistently attacked my political principles and so clearly aimed his gen- eralities at mo that I retorted angrily. This was what he wanted. He handed me his card, and within hall an hour two of his friends waited on me, Irwin - ant to the code dnello. To gain time I referred them to my partner and hurried back to the ranch. Ho was delighted at the prospect It world be a great piece of advertiaing to bowl the colonel over, and at the same time it would insure me against like trouble in the future. But by principle and training I was ir- revocably committed against the duel. "It was difficult for me to make my partner comprehend any such moral bias, especially as we had fought off cattle thieves together, and be knew that I had nerve and was a dead shot. He himself, when aroused, was recognized as one of the most dangerous men in the southwest. His ultimatum was that we mast meet, but with it was a positive assurance that no ono shoaid be hurt. The affair came off, and after three ex- changes honor was eat -idled without a drop of blood. My partner had simply told the colonel's seconds that they must load with blank cartridges or settle with him. They hastened to choose the blank alternative, and in time the colonel and I became feat friends. He confidentially admitted to me afterward that he reck- oned he'd lost his shooting eye and meet keep .out of trouble."—Detroit Free Star Dietaueas. Great interest bas been created in as- tronomical circles by some of the results reached by Professor Simon Newcomb in his more recent investigations. One of these is that astronomer's have been overestimating the distances of the stars and the other that our universe has, aft- er all, a fairly well defined limit. The first of those conclusions Professor New- oomb bases on an idea that the stars which are called the smaller ones be- cause they are loss bright may not be large stare at a very great distance, but perhaps smaller or dimmer ones nearer at band. The old idea L familiar to all —namely, that all the eters are of the same brightness and that the fainter ones are at a very much greater distance from us than the bright ones- This the- ory, however, has been weakened by later disooveries, ouch u, for example, that Sirius has aoompanion whose light, if equal surfaces be considered, is but a fraction of that of its principal, and as- tronomers have come to r'eoognize dim stare, or even dark ones, like the com- panions of Algol, about which so mach has lately been written, to be quite es oommon perhaps in the universe as the bright ones Pipfensor Newoomb's proposition as to the limits of tbe uni- verse is regarded as even more novel and striking, suggesting, as it does, the pols- sibility that some day all the etas will be seen.—New York Sun.

"The bravest are the tenderest," and they are also the most magnanimous. An aneodote, told by the Washington Times of General R. E. Lee, shows how great in mind and elevated in soul waw this distinguished aoldier. General Lee, in October, 1866, accept- ed the proeiidenoy of Washington eol- iege, at Lexington, Va., at a salary of $1,600 a year. He had been previously offered the position of president of the National Express company, organized by capitalists in Now York, at a salary of *60,000 a year, and, although very poor in puree, ho decided, us he always did decide, to follow what he deemed the lino of his duty and devote the re- mainder of his lite to the education of youth.

In the period of political fueling en- gendered by party.strife ander the re- construction act of congress several professors in bis college, while in a large company of ladies and gentlemen, denounced the government of the Unit- ed States in Ain preeenee, and he re- proved their hands strictures by reciting the following lines written by the per - Bien poet Hath: Learn from y,,ur orlont shell to love thy foe And store with peons the hand that brings then woe. Prue, Ilk° you rock, from bane, vindictive pride, Emblaze with gem. the wrist that rends thy aide. After reciting these beautiful lines in a clear voice and with deep feeling General Lee added, "Ought not we, who profess to be governed by tbo principles of Christianity, to rise at least to the standard of this Mohammedan poet and learn to forgive our enemies?" Condemaatioa Not Punishment. In the amputation of any portion of the bodyon account of gangrene or oth- er morbid condition there is no idea of punsehment. Tho surgeons who are as- sembled in oonsultation to decide upon the treatment of the diseased member do not consider whether the morbid state is the result of transgression, but the simple question for them to decide is, "Will the other parts of the body be better if the dimmed portion is re- moved?" All mon of a scientific turn of mind who have mad° a study of crimi- nal anthropology are fast approaching the phsyioian's position regarding such questions. Every criminal is more or less a dispensed portion of the body poli- tic. Some can 10 saved, soma must bo removed, and some must be destroyed, but the notion of punishment ebonld not complicate the judgment in decid- ing what disposition is to be made in either case.

There is in Natal --or at least so the natives say—a (tied of snake which, if its domestication were possible, might make less important the question of muncipal gas works. For this serpent, according to the stories told about it, is provided with an illuminating apparatus bo Bide which that of other light blearing creatures, including men with lanterns, is hardly worth ooneideration. The rep- tile is supposed to frequent awanape or lakes, and it is of a size so vast that on an occasion when ono of the species was attacked and killed by a Boer hunting party its carcass filled two wagons. In fact, the animal's proportions are al- most unlimited. The light emitted by this monster is said to be bright and dazzling in the extreme and easily dis- cerned hem a distance of several miles. Some of the negroes call the snake "umningi," while by others it is known as the "ivimbela," a name also applied to a serpent whose dwelling is in the sea, and whose powers, though great and marvelous, are not displayed in lakes and rivers or fraught with magic light. No European traveler has ever seen one of these snakes, but the Zulus declare that they aro not uncommon in the pools of the Umvoti river, and that they are white in color, except for a few brown patches. It is thought by some that these tales may have a faun - dation in fact, as there aro great brim- etonle caves in parte of Natal, and in them there may be a phosphor'oaoent fauna not yet studied or even seen by civilized men. Anotber peculiar inhab- itant of the same region—still on cativo authority—is the "intokoloch." It is a species of dwarf or manikin, akin in its attributes to the yahoo of Dean Swift, is amphibious like the lamp snake and bears a character not unblemished. — New York Times. Grant's Big Heart. General Grenville Dodge, who was with Grant all through the war, and who both before and after that period was civil engineer for the Northern Pa- cific railroad, told a little story illus- trating the spontaneous• kindness and thoughtfulness of grant when a young man. Many years before the war be was sent to Oregon as lieutenant, and while at Vancouver started out ono evening in company with Rufus Ingalls to ride to Williamhamite for tire+ purpose of calling upon some young ladies vtaiting there. When they had covered about half the distance, they came upon a poor emi- grant, wboeo heavily loaded wagon had become hopelessly stuck in the mod. Tho young men, of course, stopped. After looking over the situation, Lien - tenant Grant said to Mr. Ingalls: "What can we do to help this poor fellow out?" His companion did not seem to think that anything could be done. But after a moment's consideration Grant sileet- ly dismounted, offered his horse to the stranger in distress and gave him a few concise directions as to bow to extricate) himself. Then telling the grateful emi- grant where to deliver the horse over to him at Williamhamite, he continued hie journey --{till a distance of seven or eight miles—on foot.—Atlanta Consti- tution. One of the Family. It may interest some of our readers to glance through this short character- istic sketch of James Seymour, born in London in 1702, which is more strongly impressive than many longer memoirs. The fact that he displayed a fondness for drawing and painting in boyhood and subsequently gained celebrity by his skill in designing horses is too well known to comment upon. Once the proud Duke of Somerset employed Sey- mour to paint a room at his meat iu Sussex, with the portraits of his runer.{Lug horses. Having admitted the artier to his table, be one day drank to him, say- ing: "Cousin Seymour, your health." The painter replied, "My lord, I real- ly believe that I have the honor of being of your grace's family." This hurt the pride of tbo duke so much that bo rose from the table a ordered his steward to pay Seymour tend dismiss him. Finding, however, that no ono in England could complete the pictures begun, he coudescended to send for his cousin.

Some wonderful facts concerning the instincts of birds aro narrated by a writer in The Popular Science Monthly. Tho oriole, for example, bas a fondness for bright colors, and yet prndenee lauds the little creature, in building his nest, ast to select the leconspicuous hues. HP alio shows architectural skill in at ing a string to his hanging nest fastening it securely, by a numbe of turns and a knot, to a branch above, in order to prevent the weight of the young brood from breaking the branch fl+om which the neat is suspended. Is not this a good deal like buttressing a weak wall? Birds also show a progreseivo spirit Formerly the tailor birds of East India used to stitch the leaves of their nests together with fine grass or horse- hair. Sinoe the introduction of British manufactures they use sewing thread and ravelings from cloths. In the dis- tricts in Switzerland where watches aro made the wagtails have learned to build their nests of fine steel shavings. Sparrows, which usually build in chinks of walls or under roofs, if forced to con - street their nests in trees or any un- sheltered spot, usually cover them with a sort of hood to keep out the rain.

ONE OF THE MOST REMIRKADLE RESULTS ON RECORD. From the Gazette, Yonkers, N. Y. "I don't look much like a living ekeletor, now, do I ? And yet two years ago I weighed just seventy-two pounds," said Mrs. J. W. Coffey, of 55 1Varburton Avenue, Yonkers, N. Y., to a reporter. And we agreed with her, for she certainly looked anything hut 41 living skeleton, but rather bore the appear- ance of a plump and attractive lady in ex- cellent health and spirits. Continuing she said: "I had lost my appetite and was wasting away in flesh, losing some fifty pounds in a few mouths. Doctors said I was threatened with consumption. I was under what was regarded as first-class medical treatment, but it had apparently little or no effect, for I kept getting worse until I was so weak that I could not attend to my household duties and could hardly walk. My husband and everybody who saw me thought surely that I would die, and there seemed no help for me. " Tonics and stimulants and medicines all seemed useless, and I grew worse and worse until at last I resolved to seek some new remedy — one entirely out of the usual line of nauseous drugs and doses of stuff which seemed to take away what little relish I might perhaps otherwise have had for food. A friend told me of some wonderful cures effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and I bought a box. The effect from their use was noticeable from the first and soon appeared almost miraculous, for it seemed pretty nearly like the raising of one from the dead. I soon commenced to eat, something I had scarcely done before for weeks, and soon began to grain in flesh and strength. I went one day to the doctor's office and he was sur- prised at the change in me for the better. I had to confess that I had been taking the pills, and he was broad-minded enough to advise me to continue what was evidently doing me so much good. I took, in all, six boxes, and increased in weight from 72 to 125 pounds, which is my regular and normal weight." "Are you sure the cure is permanent 7" " Well, yes. My work is that of a trained nurse, which means, as you probably know, irregular hours and at times great exhaus- tion. During the two years since my re- covery I have had many engagements, and through them all have continued in good health. I take pleasure in bearing testi- mony to the remarkable power of this great medical discovery. I know of other cores effected by it. A friend of mine suffered greatly at her monthly periods. One box relieved and three boxes cured her. But I know.: of no case equal to mine, for my situ- ation was critical, desperate and almost hopeless." Mrs. Coffey has lived in Yonkers for six- teen years, and for twelve years has followed the business of attending the sick, excepting only the period of her illness. She has hundreds of acquaintances and friends who know her to be capable and trustworthy. Many of them know how very ill she was and how remarkable was her recovery. The pills have a large sale in Yonkers and West- chester County, which will be greatly in- creased as their merits become better known, for they seem to be one of the medical mar- vels of the age. AN UNiSOLICITED TESTIMOAIAL, From the Democrat, Atlanta, Tezas. "Being constantly .eked by many of my friends if Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People were doing me any good, I offer this unsolicited testimonial and answer. Never having seen a well day since I had typhoid fever last stimmrr, I could retain scarcely any food, my limbs and joints ached and pained all the time. It was misery to me to rise up iu hod and my mind was clouded, in fact was n physical wreck and I felt that my life was drawing to a close, and I must con- fess it was without regret on my part as my sufferings were almost unbearable. "Since I commenced to take Dr.Williams' Pink Pills, at the solicitation of my wife, I have taken four boxes, and I feel like a new man. My appetite is good and I now retain what I eat, my limbs and joints are free of pain and I have gained ten pounds in weight. My life feels renewed and while not yet en- tirely well, I feel so much better that I u n- hesitatfn ly assert that I believe Pink Pills for Pale People a good medicine for what they are recommended. Knowing that no medicine will save life under all circum- stances or in all cases, yet I do honestly be- lieve that they have prolonged mine, or at least, where all was dark and gloomy and full of suffering it has been changed for the better.

I tell you, it is enough to drive a fellow mad to bo engaged to a girl like that!" Walter Macpherson glanced at Ross' pained, angry face with a look of gym- pathy on his own handsome one. Then a dark flush crept gradually over it and he busied himself in lighting his pipe. "Have you not seen Miss Wilson late- ly, then?" he asked kindly. He had a disagreeable feeling of disloyalty to his friend in his honest heart as he thought of how only a few nights ago -he had met, quite by accident ou his part, the young lady in question, and as he had had nothing special to do walked part of the way with her to where she was stay- ing with friends. Somehow he had omit- ted to mention the meeting to Ross, and of course took it for granted that he knew where she was living and had seen her himself. Macpherson had known Lily Wilson for some time and was on friendly terms with her, as being Frank's intended. She and Frank came from the same town, some distance out of Glasgow, and had known each other all their live& It was an understood thing that the marriage world take place whenever Ross was through. He made no secret to Macpherson of his all absorbing love for Lily, and Walter, who had never been in love as yet, lis- tened good naturedly, wondering some- times if any girl was worth troubling so much over, and invariably coming to the conclusion that if finch a one existed it was Lily Wilson—Lily, with her yel- low hair and tall, willowy figure. For a moment ho hesitated whether to tell Ross of the chance encounter or not, then he made up his mind to say nothing about it. He would try to see her again and tell her how mach pain she was causing Frank by her silence. Macpherson had grown very fond of his companion within the last two sessions, and in his own blunt, good natnred way would have done almost anything to save him trouble or pain. "Don't fret over her, Frank," he said, laying his hand on his shoulder. "You will see her soon, I'm convinced of that, and then you will laugh at all your fears and doubts about her." And Ross' despondency, as usual, gave way before his friend's cheerful- ness and unfailing influence. "Oh, shut up, Macpherson!" Walter Macpherson, medical student, who was thus emphatically addressed, finished the verse of the music hall melody he was singing in his musical, if rather boisterous voice, and then turned toward his companion. "What's np, old man?" ho asked, re- garding him with a comical look of con- cern on his good natured face. "You don't look as happy as I've seen you. To quote Glabrio in "The Sign of the Cross:" "Whether is it your liver or your heart that troubles yon? If the former, send for the doctor; if the lat- ter, send for the woman." That advice is invaluable, my dear fellow, and ought to be acted upon at once." Frank Ross pushed the book he had been poring over away from him impar tiently and rose from the table. He was tall, slightly made lad, very different' fn appearance from the stalwart Mac- pherson, with whom he had shared his lodgings for the last two sessions. They were both medical students and in their second last year. "I wish you'd keep your advice to yourself, Macpherson," he said. "I find it difficult enough to study just now; when yon are in the room it's impossi- ble. I cannot imagine bow you ever manage to get through your exams., and with honors too." "You see, I'm not .iu love, Ross, and that makes a differen'-e. My dear boy," he continued, changing his bantering tone, "I wish you would not worry yourself so much over trifles. You will make yourself ill before the end of the session." "Trifles 1" Ross exclaimed. "Do yon call it a trifle that I have not seen her for nearly three weeks and that, al- though I know she is fu towu, she has That night Walter Macpherson, after his classes were over, went round in the direction of where Lily had told him she was staying in the hopes of seeing her. It was beginning to get dark as ho sauntered slowly along toward the gates of the park, where he had met her the previous evening. He had almoet given np hope of meeting her, when he saw her slim figure come slowly toward him with a book tinder her arm. He stopped and raised his hat There seemed an un - usual glow on Lily's fair face as she gave him her hand. "I havo been enjoying the park and a book all afternoon," she said. "We seem destined to meet, Mr. Macpher- son." "I was in hopes of doing so," Walter said in his blunt way, looking from his great height at her gracefully poised head and soft blue eyes, which looked almost black in the gathering dusk. "It is too late for you to be wandering about alone. But since we have met I Want to have a talk with you. Let us take a seal in the park for a short time." Lily turt•ted with him, and they sat down on an empty seat near the park gates. After a moment's silence Walter said abruptly: "Frank tells me he has not seen you since you came to town, Miss Wilson? Forgive mo for interfering, but is that not rather unfair? He is making him- self quite miserable over not hearing from you." "Does he know you havo eeeu me?" Lily aaked, her face, which had been flushed a few moments ago, gradually growing pale. "No, I have not told him," Macpher- son answered. "I know it is quite unin- tentional on your part, Mies Wilson, for you could not do an unkind action, but you are causing him great pain. I can- not bear to see him unhappy. He and I are like brothers, and I know you will excuse me for pleading with you on his behalf. You cannot have any reason for treating him like this, and be does not deserve it. I believe he would cut off his right hand sooner than cause yon a moment's pain." Lily sat quite still for a few minutes after Walter had ceased speaking. He looked at her in surprise. Sho seemed different from the bright, vivacious girl she used to be. Had she really intention- ally kept her address from Frank? Wal- ter had never thought of this before, but had put her conduct down to care - lemma At last she raised her head and looked at him in the dusk. "What do you wish me to do?" she asked in a low voice. "To see Frank at once and put an end to his anxiety and unhappiness, of course. Surely, Mies Wilson, that is what he might naturally expect from his future wife!" Lily turned on him suddenly and laid her small white gloved hand on his arm. "Yon auk me to do this?" she asked passionately. A curious thrill ran through Walter's arm as she touched him. "Yea," ho answered steadily, "I ask you to do this. Surely it is the mode of action your own heart would dictate?" "Oh," Lily said in the same low, pas- sionate tone, "you will force me to speak plainly and humiliate myself to the dust! Have yon not seen that the bond between Frank and me has become intolerable, unbearable to me --ever since—I—met—you?" The last words were almost a whis- per, but Walter heard them. His heart gave a wild throb, then almost ceased to beat. What undreamed of, nnhear'd of thing had happened? Walter Mac- pherson had none of that vanity with which some men are so plentifully en- dowed, and he had never thought of the possibility of any woman falling in love with him. And Lily—careless, beauti- ful Lily! For a moment he thought he mast have dreamed that she whispered those last words, then as he saw her face he realized that it had been no dream. Walter thought she had never looked so beautiful as she did now. They were all alone injheir corner of the park, and a pale yell w moon was beginning to shed its rays on Lily's golden hair and dark, slight figure so close beside him. For a moment a wild longing to draw her into his arms came over Walter; to take the prize that was so soddenly thrown within his reach. Was it not his by right after what she had said? Then, suddenly remembering Frank, he put the temptation from him. Was he going to betray his friend who had trusted him with his whole heart? A dark fluah rose to his brow. "I am ease yon do not mean what your words imply, Miss Wilson," he said "Believe me, I shall not think of them again. Remember Frank, who has not a thought apart from yon, whose ambitions, hopes and dreams for the fu- ture are all centered round you, and when the time conies be the true and loving wife to him that he deserves." Lily, listening to his grave, calm worda, did not guess the wild tumult that lay beneath the outward composure. She only felt that she had humiliated herself in vain, and she hid her face in her bands. A few days later Frank Ross burst into the little sitting room where Mac- pherson was poring over his books and executed a dance more distinguislied for its violence than its grace in front of Walter's astonished eye& "Congratulate me, old fellow! Lily has consented to marry me at once. She is an angel and says oho does not mind being a little poor for a year or two un- til my studies are flniahed. Sho agrees with me that long engagements are a vast mistake. What a cad I was ever to doubt the dearest, sweetest girl that ever lived! You mast be best man, Wal- ter"' With all my heart," answered Mao- pherson, giving him his hand. Frank, in his happiness, which is apt to bring with it selfishness, did not notice that his friend's face looked white and drawn. "And I wish you both the best of everything that life can give." "Thanks, old chap," Frank said as he clasped Macpherson's hand—Scot- tish Nights. A Good Suggestion. A correspondent of a Boston paper says: "As far as I have observed, when- ever a food preparation is put into a package with printed matter the printed side is invariably placed near the article of food, which often happens to be of a standard and superior quality. Why not reverse the printed slip? Printing ink is not nutritious, palatable or wholesome, and such food packages, if allowed to remain unopened for a long time and if exposed to heat and moisture, must de- teriorate in quality and may even be- come unwholesome." Modern ideas are eminently useful sometimes. Nowadays when a man goes wrong he blames either his environment, oiroumstanoes or his grandmother,— Boston Home Journal SUBMARINE CABLES. The Difficulties E•oouatered In Sending Messages at Presitable Speed. While submarine cables can now be made of any length and at comparati sly small cost, great difficulties are still en- countered in sending messages ut a commercially profitable speed, and these difficulties increase with- the length of the line. In long cables there is a trou- blesome retardation of the electric cur- rent, duo to the fact that the insulating Dover of the copper strands becomes it- self electrified, and this surface charge delays messages by preventing the cur- rent at the beginning of any signal from rising rapidly to its maximum and again from rapidly dying out. Tho consequenoe of this is that while from 400 to 000 words a minute can be sent over a land line, the maximum speed on an Atlantic cable is somewhere about 82 words a minute. Before the "siphon recorder" and Lord Kelvin's "curb vendor" were invented, the maximum speed wns eight or ten words per min- ute. Cnrionaly enough, the more perfect the cable's insulation may be the greater is this retardation, and slight leaks in this covering often increase for the time the line's working capacity. The corrosive action of the salt water is ac- tive at such pointe, however, and will soon cause a break in the cable. Professor Silvanne P. Thompson of the Royal society of England has in- vented a ayetem of cable be construction ten tion by which he expecte not only to inoreaee the capacity of the present lines, but to make practicable the covering of the 8,600 miles which separate Hawaii from North America His plan is to make a cable with two separate conductor's in- closed in the same armor, so as to form a complete circuit, and every 100 or 150 miles he will introduce stretches of cable with three such conductors, the third being a wire of high resistance, the purpose of which is to act as a sort of artificial and protected leak. One end of this third wire will be connected with the positive conductor and the other with the negative one. By this device the statin charge on one wire will neu- tralize that on the other, and all retarda- tion will be avoided. The expectation is to multiply four or five times the number of words now sent over Atlantic cables, to increase to 70 or 80 the 12 words per minute that could be sent over a single core cable to Hawaii, and raise from 10 to 76 the words sent from London to Oape Town.—New York Times. NO BLOOD SPILLED. But the Duel Was Fought, and Everybody W. Satisfied. Every ono who knows anything about Major Winton knows that he is without a spark of physical cowardice. That is the reason that he incurred no risk in telling the story that follows: "Right after the war I went to Texas and formed a business partnership with a rough but brave and big hearted native,. We leased and decked an extensive cat- tle ranch, hired our oowboys and estab- lished a little community of our own. My partner superintended affairs at the ranch while I did the dealing, the pur- chase of Supplies included This took me to the nearest market, and, as it was too soon for the prejudices between the two great sections of the country to be entirely allayed, I was very careful to talk nothing but buainess. "But one day in the hotel an ex -colo- nel who had taken on extra Steam at the bar so persistently attacked my political principles and so clearly aimed his gen- eralities at me that I retorted angrily. This was what he wanted. He handed me his card, and within half an hour two of his friends waited on me, pursu- ant to the code duella To gain time I referred them to my partner and hurried back to the ranch. He was delighted at the prospect; It world be a great piece of advertising to bowl the colonel over, and at the Same time it world inure me against like trouble in the future. But by principle and training I was ir- revocably committed against the duel. "It was difficult for me to make my partner oomprehend any such moral bias, especially as we had fought off cattle thieves together, and be knew that I had nerve and was a dead allot. He himself, when aroused, was recognized as one of the most dangerous men in the Southwest. Hie ultimatum was that we must meet, but with it was a positive assnrauco that no ono should be hurt. Tho affair camp off, and after three ex- changes honor was eatiefled without a drop of blood. My partner had simply told the colonel's seconds that they must load with blank cartridges or settle with him. They hastened to choose the blank alternative, and in time the colonel and I became fast friend& He confidentially admitted to mo afterward that he reck- oned he'd loet his shooting eye and mast keep out of trouble."—Detroit Free Press. Star Dittman. Great interest has been created in as- tronomical oiroles by some of the regalia reached by Professor Simon Newcomb in his more recent investigations. One of these is that astronomers have been overestimating the distanoes of the star's and the other that our universe has, aft- er all, a fairly well defined limit. The first of these oonclneions Professor New- comb beses on an idea that the stars which are called the mailer ones be- oaaae they are less bright may not be large eters at a very great distanoe, but perhaps smaller or dimmer ones nearer at hand. The old idea is familiar to all —namely, that all the stars are of the gtulro brightness and that the fainter ones are at a very much greater distance from ns than the bright ones This the- ory, however, has been weakened by later discoveries, snob as, for example, that airing has a oompanion whose light, if equal anrfaoes be considered, L but a fraction of that of its principal, and as- tronomers have Dome to recognize dim stars, or even dark ones, like the com- panions of Algol, about which so mach has lately been written, to be quite as common perhaps in the universe as the bright ones. Profesor Newoomb's proposition as to the limits of the uni- verse is regarded as even more novel and striking, suggesting, as it does, the pos- sibility that some day all the stars will be seen.—New York Sun.

"The bravest are the tenderest," and tboy are also this most magnanimous. An anoodote, told by the Washington Times of General R. E. Lee, shows how great in mired and elevated in soul was this distingalihod soldier. General Les, in October, 1866, accept- ed the presidency of Washington col- lege, at Lexington, Va, at a salary of $1,500 a year. He had been previously offered the poseition of president of the National Express company, organized by capitalists in Now York, at a salary of $50,000 a year, and, although very poor in pursue, he decided, ea he always did decide, to follow what ho deemed the line of his duty and devote the re- mainder of his life to the education of youth. He wielded hie vast influence iu the south to milieu the asperities that ever spring from civil war and to promote among its people a spirit of national fraternity. In the period of political feeling en- gendered by partyt',strife under tho re- construction act of congress seveeal professors in his college, while iu a largo oompany of ladies and gentlemen, denounced the government of the Unit- ed States in Alis presence, and he re- proved their harsh strictures by reciting the following lines written by the per sian poet Hafiz: Learn from your orient •hell to Love lay foe And store with pearls the hand that brings thoo woe. Froe, liko yen rock, from bast, vindictive pride. urnblazo with gems the wrut that rends thy aide. After reciting those beautiful lines in a clear voice and with deep feeling General Lee added, "Ought not we, who profess tet bo governed by tho principles of Christianity, to rico at least to the standard of this Mohammedan poet and learn to forgiveonrenemies?" Condemnation Not Puotshmeat. In the amputation of any portion of the body on account of gangrene or oth- er morbid condition there is no idea of punishment. Tho surgeons who are as- sembled in consultation to decide upon the treatment of the diseased member do not consider whether the morbid state is the result of transgression, but the simple question for them to decide "Will the other parte of the body be better if the diseased portion is re- moved?" All men of a scientific turn of mind who havo made a study of crimi- nal anthropology are fast approaching the phsyician's position regarding such questions. Every criminal is more or lees a diseased portiou of the body poli - tie. Some can be saved, some must be removed, and some must be destroyed, but the notion of punishment should not complicate tho judgment in decid- ing what dipposition is to be made in either cave. The insane were formerly regarded with feelings of hatred and vindictiveness, but today this is only a abameful recollection. With the ad- vance in the study of criminology and the more merciful era of humanitarian- ism that must follow, the like senti- ments toward the criminal will be elim- inated from our courts of justice. Pro- fessor Austin Flint, the distinguished president of the Now York State Med- ical association, in his annual address to the aasooiation said, "Scientific prog- ress will lead us finally to abandon the ancient ideal of punishment of crimp and substitute for it treatment and cor- rection."—Popular Science Monthly.

There is in Notal—or at least so the natives say—a hind of snake which, if its domestication were possible, might make leas important the question of muncipal gas works. For this serpent, a000rdueg to the stories told about it, is provided with an illuminating apparatus beide which that of other light bearing creatures, including men with lanterua, is hardly worth consideration. The rep- tile is supposed to frequent swamps or lakes, and it is of a size so vast that on an oocasion when one of the species was attacked and killed by a Boer hunting party its carcass filled two wagons. In fact, the animal's proportions aro al- most unlimited. The light emitted by this monster is said to be bright and dazzling in the extreme and easily dis- cerned from a distance of several miles. Some of the negroes call the snake "umningi," while by others it is known as the "ivimbela," a name also applied to a serpent whose dwelling is in the sea, and whose powers, though great and marvelous, are not displayed in lakes and rivers or fraught with magic light. No European traveler has ever seen one of these snakes, but the Zulus declare that they are not uncommon in the pools of the Jmvoti river, and that they are white in color, except for a few brown patches. It is thought by some that those tales may have a foun- dation in fact, as there are great brim- stone caves in parts of Natal, and in them them may bo a phosphoresoent fauna not yet studied or even seen by civilized mean. Another peculiar inhab- itant of the same region—still on native authority—is the "intokoloch." It is a species of dwarf or manikin, akin in its attributes to the yahoo of Dean Swift, is amphibious like the hump snake and bears a character not unblemished.— New York Times. Grant's Dig Heart. General Grenville Dodge, who was with Grant all through the war, and who both before and after that period was civil engineer for the Northern Pa- cific railroad, told a little story illus- trating the spontaneous kindness and thoughtfulness of Grant when a young man. Many years before the war he was sent to Oregon as lieutenant, and while at Vancouver started out one evening in company with Rufus Ingalls to ride to Williamhamito for the purpose of calling upon some young ladies visiting there. When they had covered about half the distance, they came upon a poor emi- grant, whose heavily loaded wagon had become hopelessly stack in the mud Tho young men, of course, stopped. After looking over the situation, Lien - tenant Grant said to Mr. Ingalls: "What can we do to help this poor fellow out?" His companion did not seem to think that anything could be done. But after a moment's consideration Grant alleat- ly dismounted, offered hie horse to the estranges in distress and gave him a few concise directions as to bow to extricate himself. Then telling the grateful emi- grant where to deliver the horse over to him at Williamhamite, he continued his journey—etill a distance of seven or eight miles—on foot.—Atlanta Consti- tution. One of the Family. It may interest some of our readers to glance through this short character- istic sketch of James Seymour, born in London in 1702, which is more strongly impressive than many longer memoirs. The fact that ho displayed a fondness for drawing and painting in boyhood and subsequently gained celebrity by his skill in designing horses is too well known to comment upon. Once the proud Duke of Somerset employed Sey- mour to paint a room at his seat in Sussex, with the portraits of his mulling horses. Haying admitted the artito his table, he ono day drank to him, say- ing "Cousin Seymour, your health." The painter replied, "My lord, I real- ly believe that I have the honor of being of your grace's family." This hurt the pride of the duke so much that he rose' from the table a ordered his steward topes, Seymour and diamis him. Finding, however, that no one in England could complete the pictures begun, he ooudescended to send for his oonaiu. The painter responded to the message in these words: "My lora, I will now prove that 1 am of your grace's family, for I won't oromo. "—Harper's Round Table. Learning by Experience.

Some wonderful facts corning the instincts of birds are narrated by a writer in The Popular Science Monthly. The oriole, for example, has a fondness for bright colors, and yet prnoienee leads tho little creature, in buildin his nest, to select the least conspicuous hues. He also shows architectural skill in attach- ing a string to his hanging nest and fastening it securely, by a number of turns and a knot, to a branch above, in order to prevent the weight of the young , brood from breaking the branch from which the nest is enspended. Is not this a good deal like buttressing a weak wall? Birds also show a progressive spirit. Formerly the tailor birds of East India used to stitch the leaves of their nests together with fine grass or horse- hair. Since the introduction of British manufactures they nee sewing thread and ravelings from cloths. In the dis- tricts in Switzerland where watches are made the wagtails have learned to build their nests of fine eteel shavings. Sparrows, which usually build in chinks of walls or under roofs, if forced to con- struct their nests in trees or any un- sheltered spot, ueualiy cover them with a sort of hood to keep out the. rain. Oolf • la Kaffir. An intelligent Hindoohas been beard to define billiards as a game in which two men, armed with long nicks, poke at a ball, while one player says, "Oh!" and the other "Hari lines." Golf seems to have similarly impress- ed the native South African mind. A Kaffir warrior was observed attentively watching the efforts of certain unskill- ful players to extract their ball from one of those deep bunkers which greatly abound on Afrioan oonrses. The follow- ing day this same Kaffir was seen to be belaboriu,g a great bowlder with a huge polo and shouting "Hang it!" the while. "This white man's game," said the dusky child of nature. "Welly good game, white man's game." The story has the merit of being tree. All golf stories are.—Pearson'sWeekly. Ken and Women Dias*{, Women as diners out are rarely sought after.

Died, at St. Joseph's Hospital, St. Paul, March 24th, Mrs. Sophia Koch, of Hampton, aged forty-four years. Mrs. Koch has been ill for several months, but her conditiou was not considered serious until about a month before her death. It was then discovered that her illness was caused by a tumor, and the physi- cians advised an operation. Accord- ingly she was removed to the hospital for that purpose. But in spite of physicians' skill and loving care of friends the result proved fatal, and death released her from all suffering. The funeral, one of the largest ever seen in Hampton, was held at the Baptist Church. The Rev. John Oberhammer, pastor of the Lutheran Church, officiated, and the remains were interred in the Hampton Ceme- tery. Sophia Hamann was born in Restoch, Germany, Oct. 30th, 1852. Her parents came to America when she was a child, settling upon a farm in Dakota County. January lst. 1572, she was united in marriage to Frederick Koch. Mr. and Mrs. Koch resided in Hastings until 1878, when they removed to a farm in Randolph. Six years later they re- moved to her late home in Hampton. Mrs. Koch was a woman highly respected by a large circle of friends. None could know her without admir- ing her lovely Christian character. She was a devoted wife and mother. a kind and sympathizing friend and neighbor, and will be sincerely mourned in the community where she so long resided. She leaves a hus- band and two children, Fred and Minnie, to mourn the irreparable loss of wife and mother. The sorrowing friends and neighbors unite in ex- tending sincere sympathy to the bereaved family. -A precious one from them is gone, A voice they loved is stilled. A place is vacant in their home. Which never can be filled. God in his wisdom has recalled. The boon his love has given; And though her body slumbers here. Her soul is safe in Heaven." The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Dempsey, of Marshan, died on Sunday, aged two weeks. The funeral was held on Monday, with in- terment in Bellewood Cemetery. The Sugar Beet Industry. Court -house hall was packed to the doors Thursday afternoon with farm- ers and others interested in sugar beets. Senator Henry Keller, of Stearns County, gave a long talk on the subject, stating that if a sufficient number of acres are guaranteed in this vicinity to warrant the building of a factory, eastern parties were willing to start the industry here. A com- mittee, consisting of J. C. Meloy, Peter Doffing, and E. E. T,iittle, was appointed to receive the neces- sary statements and confer with the farmers. Pamphlets will be on hand in a few days giving all necessary information. Twenty-five hundred acres are required to run the plant during the season. This is an industry which all concerned will do well to investigate at the earliest op- portunity, as the time for commenc- ing ommenting operations is short. Our Leila Voters.

Clough yesterday vetoed the bill locating the fourth insane hospi- tal at Hastings, which passed the legislature the day before. We hope the bill will be passed over the veto. The proceedings in the fourth kospi• tal matter, so far as the administra- tion is conoorned, have not only been vascilating, but scandalous. If cor- ruption has not been definitely proven the public mind is none the less well satisfied on the subject Had the hospital been located is Anoka in the first place, no one would have thought of going behind the returns. But the hospital being originally located in Hastings -which is generally recog- nized as by far the preferable site - and then relocated at Anoka without adequkte reason, the people are not likely to endorse so glaringly crooked a piece of work. But, for David M. Clough to place the gubernatorial seal of his approval upon it, is practically an admission on his part of all that has been said against him as a gov- ernor. Ile two roars ago traduced Minneapolis after site had brought him to the front, and now he has tra duced St. Paul under precisely the same circumstances. The St. Paul politicians who went back on a St. Paul man last year to save Clough ought to be made to smile a sickly smile before the curtain is finally dropped on this gubernatorial bur- lesque. -Mi teoy News, p7th. Certain newspapers at St. Cloud and elsewhere are gratifying various personal feelings by berating the senate and the members of the house in the legislature from this district for voting against Anoka and in favor of Hastings as to the location of the fourth hospital for the insane. Jus- tice compelle us to say that we be- lieve these gentlemen voted right as the facts and circumstances appeared before the lawmakers. In the leg= islature it was undisputed that Hast- ings had fairly secured the location in the first instance from the com- mission appointed to determine the question, and it is generally believed that very sharp practice was resorted to in attempting to change the lo- cation to Anoka. It is also believed that the Hastings site is much the pleasanter one for an asylum and superior in matter of drainage and otherwise. While the people here- abouts would have preferred Anoka, if the site was in every way equally good, we believe our representatives were better prepared than their people at home to judge of the merits of the case, and we have no doubt that they did what was right in the matter, and it will bo unprofitable and useless for parties who are sore or disappointed to attempt to create any amount of indignation in this part of the state.-,icruk R.piils Sen- tinel.

IRVING TODD &BON. SiATURl)AY. APR. 1001, 1897. SECOND EDITION. From Minnesota to Mexico. IV. There is probably no point in America of so much interest to the average tourist as the city of Mexico, nor any town in which more changes have taken place, through mere force of circumstances, during the past nine years. The general outline is the same, the Plaza Major, the cathedral, the National Palace, the Alameda, the Paseo, the leading hotels, restaurants, and places of amusements, but else- where and et t•}'where a marked im- provement is plainly discernable. Foreign blood and foreign capital are largely responsible for the transfor- mation, and i11 passing; it may be noticed that the American element numbers at least fifteen hundred. English is spoken in every business house of any importance. The city is built upon the bed of an extinct lake, and until quite re- cently has been somewhat like the Anoka asylum site, considerably under water during the rainy season. By the' expenditure of over fifteen trillions of dollars this ditliculty it is believed will be removed, and the death rate reduced to something near the maximum, although still enough to startle the entire faculty of a medical college. It is seven thou- sand, three hundred, and fifty feet above the sea level, with the most delightful climate imaginable. The population is about three hundred and twenty-seven thousand. 'lite great show places are quite numerous, each requiring fully half a day. Consequently it is safe to say that a large majority of our party would gladly have remained another week at least. 7g', •fit Ci er%111Xico The cathedral is a massive white building, profusely ornamented with elaborate carvings and streaked and stained by years of exposure to the weather. Its erection was begun in 1573 on the site of the great Aztec teocalli, and, completed at an estimat- ed cost of $2.000,000. It is four hundred and twenty-six feet long, two hundred wide, and one hundred and seventy-five high. An hour or two was spent in viewing the interior with its five naves, six altars, fourteen chapels, the immense organ, and the rich profusion of statutes and oil paintings. Guadalupe is noted as being the seat of the holiest shrine in Mexico, where the Virgin appeared to Juan Diego, the Indian, in 1531. His tilma with the miraculous picture is still preserved, but not shown. In the Collegiate Church is the famous silver railing weighing twenty-six tons, enough to make a populist's beard shrink with envy. At the chapel of the Pocito our acquaintance with the sulphur spring was renewed by a copious draught before climbing the Cerrito, upon which the first chapel was erected. In the rear of the little old church is the beautiful cemetery, the graves of Santa Ants and the first wife of President Diaz being particularly pointed out by the attendants in charge. A number of the later monuments are quite notice- able from the taste displayed, to say nothing of their cost. The museum is situated on the north side of the National Palace, and arranged in large suites of rooms upon two floors, containing relics from before the time of the conquest down to the present date. The coach of Maximilian, resplendent in crimson and gold; his costly silver service of nearly a hundred pieces; the sun dial of Moctezuma, thirteen feet in diameter, marked with the signs of the zodiac; the Aztec sacrificial stone, covered with rude carvings, on which it is said thousands of victims lead been slain; Huitailopoxtli, the god of war; stone gods and idols of different races and periods, and of every con- ceivable size, shape, and work- manship; Aztec picture writing on parchment; Moctezuma's feathered shield; Cortez's damask banner; por- traits of celebrated Mexican and Span- ish soldiers and statesmen; ancient neaps, charts, and pottery several centuries old; all these and much more, besides a vast accumulation of mounted animals, birds, reptiles, fishes, insects, etc., skeletons, fossils, and shells, specimens of ores and minerals, curiosities and monstrosi- ties, incident to a collection of this character. From thence we passed on to the art gallery in the next block, which contains some of the choicest paintings and statuary in the world. Here another hour was employed in viewing the famous master pieces. I. T. The district court of Ramsey Coun- ty has ousted P. S. Shufeldt and his associates from the packing company at South St. Paul, and ordered it placed in the hands of a receiver. The suit grew out of the proposed at- tempt to divert the business to New Brighton. It is said that about one hundred and sixty acres of the alleged asylum site at Anoka is overflowed. This comprises all of the beat land, the remainder being so sandy that it won't hold water. There is uo trouble about drainage at the Anoka asylum site just at present. Several feet of water carriea all the tadpole sewerage into the Min- neapolis mains without let or hin- drance. The street railway at Stillwater is being torn up and the material sold for junk. It has never paid expenses from the first inception. It is a great pity that the legislature could not visit the proposed insane asylum sites at Hastings and Anoka this week, just by way of a contrast. "Uod not dead," is a glaring head- line in The Anoka Herald. But the town is. Gov. Clough has appointed Friday, 30th inst., as Arbor Day - The Anoka Herald is aching to support some populist for governor, just because that town could not land the fourth insane hospital. What would Bro. Caswell think of it if Anoka's defeat was entirely due to her own representative in the legisla- ture? And we know of communities who lost better things than an insane hospital in just that way; and it is just that kind of people the old Clough gang was largely made of—men who would not hesitate to sell themselves to the devil for spoils. If instead of abusing the party Bro. Caswell would help to protect it from the rascals he denounces, things would be in better shape.—Midway .News. Gov. Clough takes upon himself the responsibility of.undoing the work of the legislature, and vetoes the fourth asylum bill, selecting Hastings as the final location. It had been under- stood for two years that the work of the commission would not be final with the legislature.—Taylor's Falls Journal. The action of the governor in veto- ing the hospital bill is sustained in the house. This may be a little satis- faction to the governor, but it is not to feel joyful over. The re -location by the commission was an action that one of honor would not do, and the governor upholds this action.—Worth- ington Advance. Gov. Clough had the gull to veto the bill locating the fourth insane asylum at Hastings. He is one of those non who stands by his friends, and he carried this principle so far as to array himself against a heavy ma- jority of the legislature.—Litchfield Independent. We are at a loss to know which was the more disgusting, the outrage com- mitted by the legislature in changing the location of the hospital site from Anoka to Hastings or the utterances of The Anoka Herald regarding the matter.—Todd County Argus, pOYAk �e pi!r1fu;, INS POWDER Celebrated for Its great leavening strength and healthfulness.Assures the food against alum and all forms of adulteration common to the cheap brands.

A two-thirds vote was not obtained, it being sixty-eight yeas to forty-four nays. So Hastings loses the asylum for the present at least.—Madclia Times.

He has received a position on the Grand Avenue street car line. A land elide on the Burlington track near Kemp's crossing , has occasioned considerable delay in trains during the past week. A large crew of men have been engaged keeping the track clear. Gov. Clough vetoed the fourth in- sane hospital bill, and the scandal in- cident to action upon this matter thus far has been augmented by tbe legis- lature failing to pass the billover the 'governor's veto. A study of the election returns, in which it is reveal- ed that Clough was beaten in Dakota County by about one thousand, and in Anoka County he led Lind by about seven hundred, will perhaps give a hint at the reason for the veto. The Times never did like Clough, but it never imaglned that a man could be thought o for governor who could measure up so small as to allow a matter of that kind to influence an important public improvement. The inadequacy of the reason given for the veto force the above conclusion. It is more than rumored around the capitol too that the governor cajoled and threatened members with the veto of their bill if they did not stand by his veto. Surely this must be a mis- take. It could never be that any man would so far forget the dignity of his high office as to be guilty of such a breach of propriety,— West St. Paul Times. Church Announoensents.

SATURDAY, APR. 10th, 1897. Question of hood Faith. The most rigid scrutiny and closest examination of the facts fail to find a justification for the veto Gov. Clough has interposed in the fourth hospital case. It is an undue and un- warranted exercise of the great lower conferred by the constitution upon the executive. It was never intended that for the mere difference of judg- ment alone, the executive should he clothed with a power equal to two- thirds of the legislature. The intent of the constitution in equipping the e,overuor with the veto power was to provide against hasty or unconstitu- tional 1)111(1lilents, not to set up a vast bulwark behind which he might Srely maintain his own personal judgment against the deliberately ob- tained and legally framed expression of two-thirds of the legislature. There is absolutely nothin, in the hospital hill upon tt•Itich could hang a shadow of an excuse for the exercise of the veto. The matter received the fullest and most deliberate considera- tion, :1111 was enacted by the votes of tw'o-third: of all of the members of the legislature. 'file principal. anti. indeed. about the only pretext upon which the governor based this veto was that, as a clatter of ,food faith, the state was hound to stand by the action of the cemmissiou. since Anoka and the coIIIIIIISSlotlel•S had entered ltlio the contract in mutual ,'cod faith. This is a peculiarly unhappy time for the presentation of this excuse, fuer when the disappointed real estate vendors of the Minneapolis suburb found their sale set aside by the legis- laturc. alley made admissions which effectually dispose of the question of good faith. While their tlisappoiilt- uhellt was fresh upon thele, and be- fore they had secured the promise of the executive veto. they set about getting an appropriation to reimburse deal for the looney which they 118110ed they had contributed to help purchase the fro, hatchery they had offered as a site. They frankly ad- mitted that the property which they haul represented to the commission as worth double the amount which the state was asked to pay for it could not be disposed of for enough to re- 1:nhurse them for their expenses in (felting it selected. As a matter of fact. there is no doubt that the ill 0.500 of which the Anok:0-b overs claim to have been rolheIl was spent. if spent at all, in the uncertain. varying, and mysteri- ous ((elutions which finally resolved the question by the choice of a cran- berCy marsh for a hospital site. In other words. Anoka sold the state a gold brick through the conni- vance of an unworthy agent, and now demands that the price be paid, ince the veneered article was deliver- ed -in good faith.- For supreme, unapproachable impudence. the Anoka land sharks take first. second. and third looney.—St.P,He1 Dhspotcli,271/. The legislature has finally settled the hitter strugre,le over the fourth (hospital for the insane. anti we must feel that it has been settled right. 1'lhc (le('isiye vote by which Hastings was finally selected in each house represents a strong public opinion. 'l'lhe real considerations in this con- troversy were fete and clear. There were really only two questions that presented themselves to the minds of men who had no personal interest or prepossession in the matter. The first was the relative availability of the two sites offered. Everybody who viewed them was convinced that there was no comparison between the two. That presented by Ilastiinfs is so immensely superior in everyw-ay that. oth,'r things ficin, equal, it would have decided the matter. The second question. and the one that has been foremost. probably. in the minds of most people, was the peculiar ac- tion of the commission appointed to locate this institution. Why should it. after having chosen Hastings and ratified the choice by a unanimous vote, meet at a later flay and, b}- the change of opinion of a single mem- ber, undo all that it had clone and transfer the fourth hospital to a rival. but less desirable site? Unless r('a- sons of compelling, force could he given for such action. unless a thor- oughly valid explanation could he rendered. this act :dime would he al- most decisive in favor of the place originally chosen. With these two arguments in the piddle mind, it was inevitable that the result should be reached which is now recorded. There has not been, nor could there he, by any possibility, any question if geographical advantage between two places located only a few miles apart. Hastings and Anoka being absolutely equal in this respect, and the site offered by the former be- ing immensely the better of the two, we feei that the long fight has been settled in the right way, and we are very glad that it is over.—$t. Poul Globe. - Gov. Clough vetoed the Hastings fourth insane hospital hill, and an attempt was male to pass it over the governor's veto in the house on Tues- day but failed, the Hastings crowd lacking eight votes of having the necessary two-thirds. The !hospital question has been settled for at least two years, and there is no possible show for a repetition of the fight two years hence for it is almost certain that Hastings and Anoka have both lost the coveted prize. The hospital belonged to Hastings from the start, and Hastings would have had it if Gov. Clough hadn't had an old score to settle for the manner in which he was knifed in Dakota County last fall.—Stiflwetter Jourkal. THREATENED CRISIS. DIPLOMACY AVERTS INTERNATIONAL COMPLICATIONS. How a Negro Justice of the Peace Held a British Vessel With a Writ of '-Ne Exeat Republiouw"—The Writ Was Dissolved In Liquor and a Laugh Went Around. During tbo reign of the carpetbag- gers in Georgia a very black but brainy old negro named Tunis G. Campbell name down from the north and became one of the leaders of his race. In the coarse of time Campbell was made a justice of the peace at the port of Darien. Then the trouble began in earnest. Justice Campbell had no use for the whites because he know that they cor- dially hated him. But he did not confine hie animosity to Georgians or to Democrats. He em- ployed a number of negro oonstabloe, authorized them to carry weapons, and in a abort time made his court a terror to the community. So much by way of introduction. One summer a British sailing vessel came to Darien and took on a oargo of naval stores, Before getting ready to sail the oaptain settled everything due from him and his Drew—that is, everything in the way of a just account He secured his papers, when several negro traders of the lowest class unexpectedly put in claims for goods that had never been purchased. These cormorants alleged that tho captain and his sailors were indebted to them for meals, merchandise, lodging and other things. It was evident that these claims were fraudulent, and the captain continued hie preparations for his departure. The afternoon he was to weigh anchor Justice Campbell held a consultation with a shyster lawyer. "I want to hold that — foreigner here," said Campbell, "until be settles these bills!" "In England," replied the lawyer, "when you want to prevent people from leaving the country, you issue a writ of ne exeat regnum. " Justice Campbell came near falling to the floor. "Just say that again," be said ex- citedly. "A writ of ne exeat regnnm, " "I see—I see, " said Campbell. " Well, I want yon to draw up one and keep that fellow here." The shyster's resources were limited, and he explained to his friend that reg- nnmmeant kingdom, and as this conn - try was a republic there would have to be a change in the verbiage. "Change it," commanded the black justice. The lawyer then admitted that be knew very little Latin, and for that rea- son was somewhat embarrassed. "This is a republic," ho said. "All right," was the prompt reply of Campbell. "Draw up a writ of ne exeat repnblieum, " "I am afraid it is bad Latin, " object- ed the lawyer. "I'll make it stick," answered the justice. "I'll sign the paper and swear in six special constables to enforce it" This was enough, and the lawyer pro- ceeded to draw up the most remarkable document ever seen in America. The writ covered 20 pages oil foolscap and ordered the Englishman, 'tinder the severest pains and penalties, to remain with his ship at Darien until he settled all claims It was a euliry August afternoon, and the vessel was about ready to depart, when it was boarded by Justice Camp- bell and six negro constables armed with gars. The justice read the writ to the cap- tain, and after informing him that the constables would remain until the mat- ter was adjusted the judicial tyrant went ashore again. The captain retired to the cabin with the mate and talked it over. Finally a plan of action was agreed upon, and when the ship's officers reap- peared they were apparently in a good humor. They told the constables that they were welcome as the representa- tives of the law and requested them to enjoy the freedom of the vessel. The constables were overwhelmed with tobacco and cigars and an occa- sional dram until their suspicions van- ished. Then the captain and his crew dis- played still more hospitality, and the bottle was freely passed around. At midnight six negro constables were in a drunken slumber, the effect of their drugged liquor, and the captain and his men were wide awake and perfectly sober. The blacks were carefully deposited in a boat and set adrift in the harbor, and then the British sloop quietly weighed anchor and left the port at an hour when Justice Campbell was dreaming of his new and wonderful writ of ne exeat republiculm. The oonstables were picked up next day and sent to jail for neglect of duty, but the vessel was then beyond reach. The British captain went straight to Savannah, where ho laid his case before his consul and demanded an apology and an indemnity from the United States government. The consul found it difficult to keep his face straight when ho heard the story. "It is an outrage," he said to the cap- tain, "but it is a peculiar one and of a ludicrous nature. If I were you, I would not hold a friendly government respon- sible for the conduct of a few ignorant persons, who have not been free long enough to know their own rights and respect the rights of others. It required a good dual of talk to ap- pease the Englishman, but after he had been wined and dined by the merchants and bad told his story a score of times, amid roars of laughter, ho began to re- gard the affair as a good joke and agreed to let it drop. And thus ended what threatened to be a serious international complication. –Chicago Times -Herald. No Better, Evidently. Nephew—Hello, uncle! How's the gout? Uncle—How's the gout? Confound yon!

A Royal Sport That Apppeal& tot Both Hunters and Fishers. A writer for Outing tells *boat the sport of striking tarpon. "For this," be says, "one uses a barbed iron called 'grains' or, a short, light harpoon known as a qty Iy iron,' either of which is temporarily attached to a light pine pole, the striking pole, and is oast as a spear might be. "The grains is a double pronged wrought iron instrument, the prongs usu- ally not more than 8 or 4 inches in length, and from three -sixteenths to three-eighths of an inch thick. Strong barbe aro sprung an inch from the deli- cately sharp, hardened points, having a spread of three-eighths of an inch and about 1% inches spaoe between the two. The prongs are out so that the points, while extending inward, are raised from opposing sides, This gives the greatest holding power. The grains has also a tapered socket for the striking pole. The lily iron is a far heavier instrument, and, unlike the grains, is capable of killing at a blow. The upper sides of the barbs are left broad and fiat, ena- bling them to withstand a strain of sev- eral hundred pounds A heavier and sharper weapon is used to strike sword- fish or porpoises, as the former are dangerous creatures, unless bit mortally. Then there are neoessary 800 or 400 feet of soft 'striking line,' three-aixteenths of an inch in diameter, and one of the ordinary fishing boats of the Florida ooast and a guide. "On approaching the tarpon run the B ails and mast are stowed, and the guide uses a polo in the shallow water and sculls in the channeL A fish being seen, the striker indicates its direction, and, standing in the bow with widely spread legs, leaning well back, with poised spear, the man waits till he is within 20 feet, unless be is unusually powerful, then hurls the weapon, which shoots with a hiss into the water. "The fish is anywhere from two to three feet beneath the surface of the wa- ter, changing ita position constantly, and, because of the refraction, seeming- ly anywhere but where it really is A successful throw buries the points in the flesh, and the pole comes loose and floats to the surface, to be picked up when the tarpon makes its first rush. It is beat to let the tarpon go without trying to stop it on the first rush, as the barbs may fall out. When the rush is over, the boat is run toward tho fish. Then out of the water it goes, not with the grace and head shaking of a booked tarpon, but with a rush and surge. Then it tows the boat, if the fish is a 100 or 150 pounder, at a rapid rate. Sometimes the fish sulks and leaps, darting at the boat to scrape the grains out of its flesh. It takes about half as long to kill a tarpon with a spear as with a book, but it is a fiercer fight while it lasts." THE FIRST DIRECTORY. Some Quaint Olden Time New Tork Baal - nese and Social Addresses. In the first directory of New York city, which was issued in 1786, there are some peculiar and quaint entries. For instance, in those days it was not uncommon for medical practitioners to sell drugs, as is shown by the following address, "Samuel Bredhurst, pbysican and apothecary, 64 Queen (now Pearl) street, " Clergymen of that period were ex- ceedingly precise regarding their titles Thus, "Abraham Bache, reverend of the Church of England, 29 Smith street," and "Joze Phelan, clergyman of the Church of Rome, 1 Beekman street " Leon Rogers, tailor, of 55 Broadway, was described as a "breeches maker;" John Bean, 60 Broadway, as "surgeon and tooth puller;" S. Crygier, 69 Cherry street, "punch and porter house;" Jo Deleplane of 182 Queen street, "Quaker speaker;" D. Hitchcock, 89 Queen street, "house carpenter and undertak- er;" John Hogland, 95 Queen street, "fiddler, etc. ;" Henry H. Kip, 25 Ring street, "inspector of pot and pearl ashes;" John Nitchie, 7 Garden street, "starch and hair powder maker;" Sam- uel B. Webb, 29 Lower Dock street, "gentleman." In those days, too, there were a great many "gentlewomeu" and a few "wash - women. " All teachers were then ad- dressed either as "schoolmasters" or "schoolmistresses." The retail dealers on Broadway and Wall and Queen streets called themselves "shopkeepers," the hotel men were "tavern keepers," and the policemen were "watchmen. "—New York Post A Clear Conscience. When Mark twain was private secre- tary to his brother, who had been ap- pointed secretary of Nevada by Lincoln in 1861, the governor of the territory was General James W. Nye, who, when Nevada was admitted to the Union, was elected to represent the "battle born" state in the senate. If Mark needed any encouragement in his story telling pro- clivities, he must have found it in the society of the governor, for as a racon- teur he bad few superiors. One of the general's good stories re- lated to the last hours of a miner who died in Carson City while be was gov- ernor. One day an old man arrived in town on a visit to a friend. He had, with varying luck, been wandering about the mines of California sine the days of 1849, but at last had made a strike, and, learning wisdom from ex- perience, had "salted down" a snug for- tune, determined to enjoy the evening of bis life in a rational way. At the in- vitation of an old mining partner ho had taken the long stage journey from "the bay" to the Nevada capital. Soon after his arrival be was seized with a serious illness, and bis host, who was a very religions man, became so alarmed that be wanted to call a clergyman. The guest, however, declined any clerical i assistance in relieving bis conscience of its burden. Finally the doctor said one day that the ,sick man had but a few hours to I live, and as be could donothing further for him suggested that some minister of the gospel should be asked to make smooth his exit from the world. With tears in his eyes his host again besought , his friend to listen to him and receive the ministrations of a clergyman. The moribund man, who was rapidly sink-' ing, turned on his pillow and, articn- lating with difficulty, replied: "I can't' see what occasion I have for the services of a clergyman. I never voted a Demo• oratio tioket in my life."—San Fran- ciaoo Can. • JAPAN/_8E MOTHERS, They TheretValy Llndentl ad the Tender Cars of Children. It someCnies happens that one seers young American mother so utterly unfit for the training of children and for the duties df motherhood that one dannot but wonder why it pleased Providence ever to give her the oare of little ones. This happens sometimes in the case of really estimable women, and I have heard, a young mother say sadly that she never quite knew what to do with baby, it wase such a queer little thing, and she warehalf afraid to touch it Other young flange in the shape of puppies, kittens, or even colts, mho know all about and was quite at home with, but her own child remained a sort of curious and un- canny little being to her till bis baby days were over and he began to share in bis mother's hobbies in a boyish sort of way. Now, in Japan a mother like this is an impossibility. She is not interested in politics or in social reforms, neither is she bent on being a social success, nor devoted to any scientific philanthropic work, as are so many of her western sis- ters. She is par excellence a mother, and one who cannot be rivaled in any other country. No children are so well and carefully tended as here, and she is patient and gentle with them, never threatening them, if they are unruly, with corporal punishment, nor raising her voice and scolding them in the un- pleasant way one so often hears in other oountriea The Japanese mother is a born kindergaertnerin and enters into the lives of her little ones just as easily ae the western kindergarten teacher who has undergone a long period of study and training. To her the duties of motherhood eomo naturally, for among her nation women who will make good mothers are chosen as wives, and thus 1n the course of nature the quality of motherliness is intensified as time goes on, and the race of mothers beoomes very superior. Nowhere is motherhood as respeoted as in Japan, and nowhere does the mother receive more attention from both her husband and her children. She is regarded as the maker of the race, and her maternal duties are considered to be exceedingly honorable and to entitle her to the utmost consideration and afters- tion.—Pittsburg Dispatch. ONE OF THE MEAN ONES. night Have Been Mean Enough to Have Stolen HD Inheritance, Four or five preachers, at *preachers' meeting, or, rather, after the meeting was over, were discussing some of the peculiar people they bad been brought into contact with during their various pastorates. "Tbevery meanest man I ever knew," said a pastor, whose nasal twang be- trayed his Yankee origin, "was a mar- ried man, though, as a rule, the really meanest men are bachelor's for obvious reasons. "This party was fairly well to do and expected to be enriched by the death of an old uncle to the extent of at least $100,000. He was it roan of about 40 and was, on the surface, an extremely pious kind of a man, with strict ideas of biblical interpretations At this time the rich old uncle—a millionaire, by the way—was approaching the ecr'Ip• meal limit of human existence ---three score and ten—and his pious nephew had begun to figure on what he was go- ing to do with his share of the old man's fortune. Tho latter, however, did not bold to scriptural interpretations, but held on until he was 91 year's old. Then be departed, and as per expectation, when the estate was settled up the pious nephew received $100,000, more or less. "He ought to have been satisfied, of course, but be wasn't, and after mouth- ing around about his bard luck, he finally capped the climax by ening the trustees of the residue of the estate, which bad been willed to charity, for the interest on $100,000 at 6 per cent for the time that elapsed between the three score and ten limit and the date of the death of bis uncle, a period of 21 years 8 months, the whole amount of interest beiug $127,500. He even went so far as to swear that 6 per oent was too low, and that he could have got 8 right along for the whole time if the old man had died when the Bible said he ought to die. Being in the fam- ily, however, he was willing to disoonnt the rate of interest 26 per cent Now, did you ever hear of anything worse than that?" And not a man there did.—Waeh- ington Star. Embossing on (lass. Very beautiful results are obtained by English artisans, says -Tho Pottery Gazette, in embossing on glass by means of tinfoil stencils, the latter being cut out of thin shoots of metal or cardboard in the game manner a9 for wall decora- tions, etc. If varnish colors are employ- ed, they are laid on as evenly as possible through the perforations in the plate and hardened afterward in a stove or oven. The metallic preparations need in glass staining and painting are also available, but require firing in the muf- fle or a china painter's stove. But for the process of embossing the plan is to paint the portions of glitibi left uncovered by the spaces in the stencil plate with brunewick black, then dip or cover with hydrofluoric acid, wash in water and remove the black ground. Every part that was covered will present a polished, even surface, the remainder baying been eaten into by the acid. If the raised parts are to have a frosted appearance, they are rubbed with a flat piece of marble moistened with fine emery and water. To put patterns or lines on glees with a wheel two methods are resorted to, one of which is to rough in the pat- tern with an iron mill supplied with a trickling stream of water, then smooth out the rough marks on a York or Warrington stone, polish on a wooden wheel of willow or alder powdered with pumice, flulehing on a cork wheel with putty and rotten stone. By another plan the engraver cats in and roughs the pattern with cop- per wheels aided by emery and olive or sperm oil and polishes the por- ous intended with leaden disks and very fine pumice powder and water.

To understand the phenomenal rise of Greece, we moat bear in mind that, though the Greeks had been miserably downtrodden by the Turks for 400 years; the best hope of the people, borne by an unholy tribute far away from their mothers' bones and trained into the tools of an inhume') tyranny, and though, had it not boon for the "unto- ward event" at Navarino, the whole population of the Korea would have been exterminated beneath the merciless tramp of Turkish hoofs, there, never- theless, lived behindthe outward show of slavish debasement a heart of sturdy independence that cherished the patriot - lo memories of ages and seized eagerly on every chance that nought enable it to 'tend before the world 1n the attitude and character that, had given it the most prominent place In the history of the human race. Tho two years' struggle that gave to Greece the right to look Europe in the face, as a noble people determined to die rather than live the Slaves of a hateful tyranny, at the same time gave to Europe the assurance that Greece was living Greece again, and Christian oonscience and claage memories com- bined, when once thS yoke was broken, to enable the Greeks to show to the world that, in spite of the bombshells of Venice and the sabers of Turkey, not only should a Greek mother bear sons to grow up free from the rapine of Turk- ish hands, but desolate Athens should rise to her old position, and, along with Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aber- deen, assert its plaoe among famous Eu- ropean cities that combine commercial enterprise with cultivated intelligence. It was this noble patriotic pride that, in the short space of half a century, turned the little rained village into a an impos- ing city.—Professor John Stuart Blackie in Forum. A Trick of Acton. Most people know that the memory may be easily confused by learning a passage in two or three different ways, or by having once heard an incorrect form of giving it. Working on this prin- ciple, actors are fond of putting stum- bling blocks in one another's wey. A stook joke, dear to the hearts of all players, is the regular thing to be in- flicted upon a beginner in the first act of "Richard TIL" ft is in the scene where the coffin of Henry VI is borne across the stage. One of the men who carry it has been raised from the posi- tion of supernumerary to his first, speak- ing part, which conaiete of a single line. Before the performance, it is usual for some older actor to take him aside and impress him with the enormous diffi- culties of delivering that sentence cor- rectly. The victim listens nervously. "Now, most actors," says his tor- mentor gravely, "make this mistake the first time they play the part: In- stead of saying, as it is, 'My lord, stand back, and let the coffin pass,' they give it this way, 'My lord, stand back, and let the parson oougb,' " And after he has ' card the latter ver- sion, absurd though it is, the chances -are that the poor supernumerary will give that to the audience on the first night.—New York Tribune.

Colonel Pollock speaks highly of the merits of East Indian cooks. In the training, however, they have acquired in the European cuisine they have lost the art of conoocting their own native dishes.

In contrast to Colonel Pollock's pic- ture of the epicurean delights of India we have one of a correspondent who is now in that country and is recording bis impressions. He nays that for food the traveler is in a bad way. Vegeta- bles are sapless, and it is now consider- ed unsafe to eat them on amount of the presence of the bubonic plague. Meat and fruit predispose cholera. Fish is forbidden by taste and prudence, Milk and butter are more than suspicious, and soda and ordinary water aro filled with dangerous germs. Soda water is made from local stagnant pools. The only safe thing is whisky.—New York Sun. Shocked the Boston Ear. The horse came tearing madly down the street, The coachman bad jumped to save his life and the beautiful girl inside the coupe screamed for help. Suddenly the man from Boston dart- ed out in front of the wild eyed steed It seemed suicidal, but upon the brave fellow's face was a look of determina- tion that would have been the glory of a knight of old. Bracing himself up for the shock, be awaited the opportunity that Provi- dence seemed to have intended him for, and the people upon the sidewalks stood breathless With a bound the frightened brute was upon him. He clutched the reins and swnug himself out of the way of the beating hoofs The coupe swerved and was almost overturned, but righted itself, and in a moment the heroin deed was accomplished. The trembling steed stood still, the fainting girl was lifted from her perilous position. ver "Where is he? Where is be?" she cried, and her rescuer was pointed out. Without waiting to be introduced the beautiful creature flung herself upon his breast and cried: "Ob, sir, you done noble." A deathly pallor overspread his face. He tore away from her, and as be gal- loped madly from the scene muttered: "Great heavens! She's from Chicago! Oh, that I had known it before I ruined my 60 cent pair of suspenders! But that is what comes of allowing oneself to be swayed by impulse." — Cleveland Leader. Wealth. Wealth is a blessing when properly used, and the mere fact of any mau pos- sesing it can by no possibility bo held against him unless ho came by it through dishonest or fraudulent means One might ask with some glow of res - eon, where would the hospitals, the in- firmaries, ,the charitable institutions, the halls of learning and the thousand and one great interests of this country be had they not been endowed and as- sisted by people of means. There aro many people in this country today who owe their education and training large- ly to the benevolence of those who gave of their substance to keep up the schools and colleges. Tho American people are gifted with a fair average of good sense, and while they may for a time join in the outcry against the capitalist, as such, they can scarcely fail to comp back to their nc-• mal, rational level and look upon these outbreaks as sensational, injurious, un- just and wholly uncalled for.—New York Ledger. Reciprocity. William Abraham, a Welsh member of the English parliament, who former- ly worked in the pits and now is a Rad- ical miners' representative, was ono of the chief singers in an eisteddfod sev; eral years ago when the guest of honor was Adelina Patti.

It was not till we had stood watching him for some minutes that he became aware of our presence. Then he looked up. "Well, doctor," he exclaimed, "and how do yon think my garden shows to- day?" "Beautiful, beautiful, my dear sir!" The poor fellow's eyes sparkled with pleasure at that. "I ani glad you think so," he said. "She is coming this afternoon, you know." "Ah I So she is," replied my kind hearted companion nodding. "And she is sure to be pleased with my flowers—she must be pleased—eh, doctor?" inquired the patient eagerly and anxiously. "Not a doubt of it. It is a foregone conclusion." The unhappy man heaved a deep sigh of contentment and relief. "Thank God for that, doctor! I have arranged them just as she likes them— haven't I? And there is plenty of boy's love—isn't there? She has always been so fond of boy's love. Ah, doctor, boy's love is a rare plant to last." "To be sure it is." "Yes; nothing can kill it when once BOY'SLOVE. it has taken root. Heat won't kill it. Frost won't kill it. Vet won't kill it, Drought won't kill it. Weeds won't kill it. Neglect won't kill it. After a hard winter, doctor, when every other plant in the border has been killed, I've known boy's love to be the only one left standing. How lonely, how desolate it lool:ed next spring. But it seemed prond of its endurance too. A true perennial!" He sighed, murmured something that I could not catch and applied himself again to his weeding. The doctor and I. passed on to another part of the grounds. "Poor fellow!" said my companion, as we walked away. "The old story—a disappointment in love." "I guessed something of the sort What were the particulars?" "Ncthing out of the common. Some girl to whom he was deeply attached threw him over and married another man. He is peculiarly sensitive, and his reason gave way under the shock." "He seems happy enough now." "Yes. Very different from what he was when he first carne here. He was then one of onr worst and moat melan- choly cases. It was only by accident that I found out the means to make him happy and contented" "How was that?" "One day the head gardener came and complained to me about him. It ap- peared that he had taken a spade from one of the tool sheds and started dig- ging up the turf of a small lawn, in that very corner where we have jest left him. I went to stop him in his work of destruction. I found two of the attendants already dragging him away by force and the patient struggling, protesting, swearing in the most fren- zied manner. I bade them let him go, and asked hint what he wished to do and why he had been digging up the turf. He explained his object to me in a torrent of eager words. He asked my leave to execute it with painful anxiety and excitement. "He said that her garden—the little garden which she so dearly loved —had all been turfed over and spoiled; that the old fashioned border, which had al- ways been her favorite, wrs entirely done away with. And now she might Dome back any day—and what would she think? What could she feel? He knew exactly how the border had run; in what way it had been planted. Might he not be allowed to cut it out again as it was and replant it with all the flow- ers and herbs which she had loved so well? He pleaded so pathetically that I could not find it in my heart to refuse him. I gave him leave. I told the gar- dener to supply him with all the tools, the plants and seeds that he might ask for. The poor fellow seized my hand and kissed it in passionate gratitude. Then he took up his spade and set to work at once. The result of his efforts is what you have just seen." "Poor creature! Poor, faithful crea- ture!" I murmured. "I dare say you noticed that little rustic summer house," the doctor con- tinued. "He built that, too --.exactly like her slimmer house, which (so he fancied) had been pulled down. On fine days ho is happy gardening; on wet days he is happy sitting in that simmer house, looking at his border. He is al- ways expecting her. Of course she never comes, but be is always expecting, therefore always happy. Indeed I have known many, many sane people who find far less pleasure in their life`ithan he," added the -good doctor, with a sigh. And then we went on to talk of other matters. paw 'Neath Chang Liang„ king of musicians. One moment the master was vexed and die - tressed.

Of the thousand and one touching scenes that are enacted in merry Eng- land every day I suppose that we luna- cy commissioners come across as many as most. And I doubt not that if any man who has served the government in this capacity were to relate the more striking of his experiences in a sympa- thetic manner he would command a large circle of interested readers, and would surely draw tears from even the least emotional among them. I do not, however, remember that any lunacy commissioner ever has published such a volume, and I suppose the reason is not far to seek. A constant course of prac- tical routine, of dry statistics and cal- culations of what I may call the work- aday business of lunacy unfits a man to regard these experiences from an emotional or pathetic aspect and tends to make him employ his leisure thoughts upon subjects as far as possible removed from those of the shop, while even if it were otherwise the obligations of professional secrecy would be a formida- ble barrier to• the successful treatment of such a theme. At times, however, a case arises at- tended with features that cannot fail to excite strong feeling in the most hard- ened professional bosom. It is a case of this nature that I now set myself to re- late, and I do so the more readily be- cause inere is no fear in the present in- stance of my causing pain or distress to any person concerned. If, therefore, I shield myself under cover of mislead- ing names and dates, it is rather as a conventional formality than as a precau- tion that is in any degree requisite. At a distance of time—which I will call five years ago—my business duties took me to inspect a well known asylum in the west of England. Dr. X., the head of the establishment, was an old and valved friend of mine, and I was pleased that my apportionment of cir- cuit should happen to include his insti- tution On this particular occasion of my visit to Dr. X., I arrived at the asylum overnight, and my friend hospitably put me up. Next morning, after break- fast, I strolled round, accompanied by Dr. X., on a tour of inspection, know- ing, however, very well that it was simply a pro forma affair, and that I should find everything about the asylum in a satisfactory and efficient state. On previous visits, I had noticed how mach Dr. X. had done to make his patients calm and contented by humoring their many foibles, and on this occasion I was more than ever struck by the care- ful, discriminating way in which this system was being carried out and by the favorable results which evidently arose from it. No doubt, a man devoid of unusually sound judgment would soon find himself in difficulties if he adopted such a system. But Dr. X.'s judgment was so reliable, bis shrewd- ness so keen, his sympathy so remarka- bly in touch with his patients, that he knew just where to apply and just where to avoid his plan of humoring, and it was seldom indeed that the event proved him to have been injudicious. It was a fine August morning, and most of the patients were out in the beautiful grounds attached to the asy- lum. I knew many of them, from pre- vious visits, and not a few came up and welcomed me with effusive cordiality. They seemed pleased, also, to see the doctor, and I thought that some of them regarded him with quite affec- tionate eyes. This, in itself, spoke vol- umes for the success of bis regime—for that the head of a large asylum has gained the love of his unhappy patients is the most convincing proof of his effi- ciency that could possibly be adduced. Most of the unfortunate men were strolling about in an aimless way; a few were walking fast, as if their life depended on their covering five miles in the hour; a few others were gardening, and some few were sitting on the seats. But it is to one patient only that I wish to draw particular attention. He was in a retired oorner of the grounds, quite by himself. The iitok in which he had ensconced himself was very picturesque and charming. It was an opening in the midst of shrubs, some score of yards square, laid out in an old fashioned border, rich with a mixed profusion of old world flowers. At the back grew tall hollyhocks, sunflowers, goldenrod and evening primrose, and in the front the lowlier, but not less lovely, darlings of a bygone age. I am a herbaceous en- thused myself—a floral antiquarian, & botanical tory—and I noted with de- light that all my favorites were repre- sented.

In the course of my annual holiday I happened to pay a brief visit to some old friends HUM 1 had not seen for quite a dozen years at their home in Wiltshire. The father of the family had been a college chum of mine, and dur- ing his lifetirne I had been to see him tolerably often. But after his death my visits to his family became less fre- quent, and at last ceased altogether; not owing to any difference or coldnees, or indeed from any purpose or design, but simply because domestic and busi- ness ties happened to dra* us in oppo- site directions. When, however, during my holiday I found myself staying within a few miles of the place to which my old friend's widow and daughters had moved, I took the opportunity to call upon them and resume our acquaint- ance. They were pleased to see me, and pressed me to spend a few days ander their roof—an invitation which I readi- ly accepted. Only two of the daughters were then at home—May, the youngest, a pretty and Avaciona girl of 18, and the eldest, Helen, a widow of six months' standing, who had returned to her mother's roof upon the death of her husband. When I had last seen Helen, she was about the same age as May was now, and equally bright and vivacious. It seemed to me, therefore, very strange and sad to see her in widow's weeds and to note the melancholy sorrow all too evident in that once lively, girlish hoe. I naturally assigned this melan- choly to grief for her dead hnsband— not knowing then that her union with him had been unfortunate and that his death had come to her as a welcome re- lief. However, in the course of my visit my eyes wore opened to the real secret of tier grief. I remember the occasion well. On the first morning of my visit I rose early and took a stroll round the garden while the dew of the summer dawn was still white upon the grass. I had not expect- ed to find any one about at leach an hour, except, possibly, the gardener, and I felt some surprise when, in a remote corner of the garden, farthest from the house, I came upon Helen. She wore a holland apron and gardening gloves, and was busy snipping off the dead flowers in a long border with a pair of scissor& She started at the sound of my footsteps on the gravel, then came for- ward and offered me her hand. "You are busy betimes," I said. "Yee, " she answered. "I do not sleep well, and gardening is the occupation that I love best. I am often here earlier than this. This is my own particular little garden. No one else is allowed to touch it How do you like it?" "It is quite a little fairyland," I said, as I looked around me. Then something seemed suddenly to strike me. I had seen this tiny floral paradise before. Yes, yes! That rustic summer house, that lino of rose trees, that long, old fashioned border, full of hollyhocks, and goldenrod, and pinks, and columbine, and balm, and boy's love—yes, I had surely seen it before! And then I remembered where. A sud- den sense of interest, of excitement, of eager cariosity, made my heart throb. You—yon—are fond of these old fashioned flowers?" I asked her, look- ing down into her face. "I love them. I care for no others." She spoke almost peasionately. "And I love them, too," I said, still regarding her attentively. "Partly for themselves, more for their associa- tions. " She trembled and turned away her face. "Ah, God!" she murmured, in a low voice. 'Their associations!" Then she evelaimed, with quick, nerv- one energy: "Mr. Lascellee, you have heard? You know? Some one has told you?" "No," I answered. "No one has told me. But I think I can guess. Shall 1 trr' "If yon like," she replied, her voice sinking to a whisper. "I think it all began with the growth of a boy's love," I said Her face flushed crimson Ott the in- stant. A violent tremor abook her frame. Sho clasped her hands in a tense, ex -- cited gesture. "You—yon—have been told!" she gasped. "This is no—no—guesswork." "I have been told nothing," I repeat- ed. (I never stopped to consider the wisdom or the kindness of speaking out. I was acting under an impulse which entirely controlled me.) "But I have seen something, have drawn my conclusions." "Have seen something? What? Where? I do not understand Explain!" "A little garden, the counterpart of this. That same summer house filled up the corner. The rose trees ran jest so, and along one side there stretched a border of exactly abt size and shape— full of the same den., old world plants. There they grew—the hollyhocks, the goldenrod, the creeping Jennie, the col- umbine, the sweet william, the can- terbury bell. But the gardener's favor- ite above them all, the plant which be loved and prized the moat, was—boy's love." She stared at me with a dazed, bewil- dered air. Her eyes were fixed on mine But she did not speak. "Every day," I went on, "when it was fine be weeded and tended his plants and when it was wet he sat in his summer house and watched them. His one thought was that they might be trim and ready against the arrival of— some one; some one whom he always expected; some one who never came." She put her hands to her face. She uttered one low, gasping cry. "Yon—you—have—seen—him." Then she tottered, fell forward and if I had not caught her in my arms, would have lain fainting on the gravel. The last scene of my story was enact- ed a week later. With the consent and indeed with the approval of Dr. X. it was arranged that I should take Helen over to the asylum and that she should be allowed to see her faithful gardener, who had been waiting for her so long. I was present at the,interview. I shall not easily forget it: When he saw Helen, he started. He turned very pale. He trembled an over. Then he shaded his ayes with his hand and half closed them, like one coming out of darkness into a strong light. "How do you find your garden?" he asked her, in an uncertain, wavering voice. •'George) owner tt+itl�t amicu i find to say, but in her utterance of the name throbbed a world of pathos. "After you want," ho continued, still speaking in a low and dreamy tone, "ruthless bands made havoc of your garden. But I restored it just as it was —Justin you--had—loved it. I renewed the border myself. I replanted all your. favorites as they had been before. And I said to myself that when you come back you should never know the differ- ence. Was I right, Helen? Do—you— see—any—change?" For answer she stretched out both her hands to him. He took them eagerly, yet tenderly. It seemed to me that his eyes were lees hazy now; that they bad grown more need to the strong light. He loosed one of her hands, still re- taining the other, stooped down, picked a spray of boy's love and handed it to her. She took it and placed it in the bosom of her dress.

In doing so it atrvek the king. He did not say a word, but his face flushed, and there was a look in his ab- normally large eyes that the count had never seen before. Instead of apologiz- ing the oount grew defiant, and tbo same thing occurred again. Alfonso picked up his hat, and, bowingy sti8iy, be said, "Count, I cannot have for my friend any one who is so rash no to lose his temper at play." The countess, deeply distressed at what had occurred, sought an interview with the queen. When she was ushered into her preserve. she found the king was there, and, not liking to tell her mission before him, began to speak on other subjects, but the king guessed why she had come, and, after greeting her, he said, "I am sorry to lose the so- ciety of your son, but a king has his dignity to keep up. and bad manners are worse than bed pray.

"The prayer meeting. in the adjoin- ;' fag room, had jtut reached its most de- vout stage when our boys fully woke up to their evening's programme. Daniel Sullivan, now assistant state attorney,' was in the chair and called upon David Maxwell, at present of Maxwell Bros., box manufacturers, for a song.

At the cement works on the went shore of Hempeteael harbor there is a smokestack 128 feet high and 8 feet in diameter which has long needed paint- ing. The manager thought the time had Dome to dispose of the job. Two of the foremen, the shovel engineer and a young carpenter set their wits to work to oontrive a way of getting a rope up through the pipe's interior and down on the ontside so that au spparatna could bo rigged to hoist the painter. One of the Italians suggested letting a pigeon loose to fly up inside of the stack, but this solved only half the prob- lem. Another workman suggested a small balloon. The first one to formu- late what seemed a feted ble plan was the bead foreman, who fastened 10 feet of small brass chain to a rocket, and to that a cord, and then sent them skylark- ing through the pipe. As a epoctacle it was fine, but the boat from the powder burned off the chain, and the string was left at its starting point. Then the younger foreman tried. Ile had made a kite having two strings, one of which went through a pulley attached near the kite, which had a small iron weight fastened to its upper end, the intention being to fly the kite until it was direct- ly over the smokestack, and then lower the weight down into the interior. The kite worked beautifully until it was time for it to be useful, when it turned a somersault, tangling itself in the pulley tackle, and the whole thing came to grief Then the carpenter began to talk. Ile, too, remembered boyish pastimes and believed they could be turned to account His idea was to as- cend the cable tower, 90 feet distant and 180 feet high, and from this posi- tion throw into the smokestack a weight tied to a string. The wind was blowing a gale, but this did not discourage the man, and be, with the two foremen„ as- cended the tower for performanoe No. 8. To throw a two pound weight fasten- ed to a string was no easy matter, and it was exceedingly difficult to keep a foothold on the tower. After three trials, however, the weight fell as planned, save that the string broke. Later the carpenter tried again, casting the weight four times before it entered the stack. When the rigging to hoist the painter was in order, there was a call for vol- unteers, but only one man responded. He wibi the shovel engineer, Will Sny- der, from Chicago. He has had an ex- perience in work in high plaoes, for whenever the steel cable, 140 feet above the ground, needs tarring Snyder gets a paint pot, swings himself astride the framework of the traveler and paints the cable as tbe traveler goes back and forth on its regular business. Several of the men employed at the clement works seem to be born acrobats, and they work far up in the air as easily a. on the ground, so that when repairs are needed on the towers or cables and cool, level headed men must bo had there bas never been any necessity to go outside of the regular force. —New York Sun.

Ile was the important functionary at every danoe and called out the figures in an unchangeable voice, which grew fiercer and fiercer as be warmed np to his work. Has our old friend disappeared? Is his fiddle cracked and his bow nnstrnng? Has he been unable to withetarid the in- vasion of his territory by the piano and the piano agent? We fear so.

Arrangements were most -sr.' - fully made and directions sent that the body should be forwarded to England to be interred in the family vault. In due time a magnificent ooffin arrived, and before it was lowered to its last resting place it was opened for inspection. Much tothe dismay of the family, in- stead of finding the features and frail form of their beloved aunt, the corpse of a Russian officer, clothed in military garmenta and decorated with ribbons and medals, was disclosed to view. A frantic telegram was dispatched to the Russian capital. towhich the following answer was received: "Lady buried with military honors. Please rep tbo general. " — London Corro- spondenoe.

Their second house on the lower levee, containing eleven hundred tons, also gave way, but a crew was put in the next day, which will probably save about one- half. Their third house, with five hundred tons, is out of danger. The City Election. The election in this city on Tuesday was one of the worst mixed up affairs on record, politics cutting no figure whatever with the result. Mayor Parker was re-elected without oppo- sition, and J. P. Sommers retains his position as city clerk. Aids. Fred Busch, Bat. Steffen, and C. W. Wes- terson are re-elected in the first, second, and fourth wards, and Peter Scott and J. F. Cavanaugh are the new members from the third. The closest contests were for chief of police, J. C. Hartin proving the winner by a neck, and for street commissioner, Isaac Lytle holding down his job. Peter Fasbender, as- sessor, received his usual majority. The vote was an unusually light one, so many of our foreign born citizens having failed to take out their second papers in time.

Cloasb'e Veto, Whatever van or may be said for or against the influences brought to bear, first upon the commission ap- pointed by the legislature to seek and purchase a site for the fourth insane asylum by which it was induced to invest $15,000 on a site in Anoka, or on the legislature that has ignored that location and fixed upon the more eligible one in the village of Hastings, the reasons the governor gives for vetoing the action of the legislature are puerile to say the least, and open to the same allegations of bias and partisan influences and selfishness as are hurled against the advocates of the Anoka and Hastings sites. To say that the senate must keep faith with the commission is to say the judgment of the commission is better than all those who have exam- ined both sites, and the majority of the members of the legislature who have voted against accepting the site chosen by it in Anoka, atter hearing both sides of the question. Have bribery and corruption been employed upon all the members of both houses of the legislature, who voted for Hastings in preference to Anoka? The governor's veto, if read between the lines, is susceptible to just that interpretation. Ile infers that the legislature lost sight of the action of the committee which was binding on the state, and the $15,000 invested by it of the state's money, and ignored the wisdom and state iuvestment of the illustrious commission, in voting for Hastings. It Hastings influenced the present legislature ,who influenced the commission in favor of Anoka, and got it to hurriedly Invest the $15,000, placed in its bands, and buy that low ground site that, as is alleg- ed, will take $10,000 more to properly drain? What supreme overpowering in- fluence was brought to bear upon that honest farmer Hoper, one of the commission, when at Crookston, to change his vote from llastings to Auoka and thus make Anoka's site the choice of the commission? If the Hastings people, by their activities, and methods mysterious and dark, to obtain the location of tlteasyluw on a site in their midst, the most beautiful and best adapted for the home of the state's insane wards, are worthy of an indirect tongue lashing from the pure and immaculate governor, what should the measure of his reprimand be for the activities of the friends, and people of Anoka and their influ- ences which gripped the commission itself and caused it to purchase for the state a site scarcely fit for the purpose for which wanted if one-half, that is alleged against it, is true? And yet the governor upholds the commission in its action, upholds the selfish, blind, underhanded methods of the friends and partisans of Anoka used to influence the judgment of the committee in favor of Anoka, and virtually accuses the legislature of going against the best interests of the state in theit action in favor of Hastings. It looks tis though the governor is just its deep in the par- tisan mud as the Hastings people are in selfish partisan mire. If the legislature can choose a com- mission to do a certain duty, it has power over the work it performs to accept or reject it. If it is a creation of the legislative body of the state it and all its work 0 subject to it. The governor gives it out cold, in his veto, that the work done by that commis- sion is binding on the state, and must not be gainsaid, or questioned; and the legislature cap neither amend or abrogate what it has clone in its ofll- vial capacity. It has remained for the learned governor of the great state of Minnesota to roll back the dial of time and give new life and force to the laws of the Medes and Persians in these closing years of the nineteenth century. On what meat dons Caesar feed, that Anoka provides, which makes him show favor to her asylum site? - Owatonna Journal. The first boat to stake her appear- ance in St. Paul arrived about noon yesterday. It was the well known excursion steamer Flora Clark, of Hastings, Capt. E. E. Brown, on her way to Ft. Snelling to bring down a drive of logs. Capt. Brown said that all the lowlands between here and Hastings were under water, and that nearly all the fnrtners living along the river had been c'ornpelled to move back to higher ground. He said that it would be almost impossible to make an estimate of the damage that would be caused the fanners, owing to the fact that they will not be able to do any spring planting on the ground that is now under water. He said that in all Iris experience on the river he had never had to contend with a current that even compared with the rate at which the present high water is racing down toward the gulf. -St. Paul Globe, 6th. If every man, woman, and child in the union were voters, and Clough's determination to teat Hastings out of the fourth insane hospital was to be decided by popular vote, and the vote should stand all over the counj,ry in the same proportion it did in the house, Mr. Clough would be defeated by a majority of about twenty-eight millions. Mr.�Clough's ideas appear to be quite as popular as he is him - Belt -Midway Aero. The ax has fallen. Gov. Clough has vetoed the bill locating the fourth insane hospital at Hastings,and Anoka rejoices. The veto was laid upon the table and it will probably remain there; u Its passage over the veto can hardly be accomplished. We deeply regret this action on the part of our governor, but it is not more than we expected from the man. - Chaska' Herald. Tho water Is still on the rise, and a gang of men are working constantly strengthening the levee and prevent- ing the current from the river break- ing through. The river track will still hold flat cars, filled with sand, but they have to be pulled through the water by a cable. The levee is being kept ono or two feet above the water, and it is hoped It can be saved and prevent the consequence of a current running through the yards directly from the river. Gardie's ice house down in the woods, filled with lake ice for family use, collapsed yes- terday with twelve feet of water around it, Staples & King's ice house also gave way this morning on ac- count of the swift current and deep water around it, sweeping in from around the levee, but no other build- ings have been shaken. -South Sr. Paul Reporter, 6(h. Gov. Clough vetoed the bill locat- ing the fourth hospital at Hastings and the house failed to pass the bill over the veto, the vote being sixty- eight, which is five less than the ne- cessary two-thirds. There is no ques- tion that Hastings offered the better site, but according to Gov. Clough the honor of the state was involved in the transaction. There appears to have been mighty little honor con- nected with the whole business, unless the charges and counter charges are all untrue. -:Moorhead Independent. Gov. Clough has vetoed the house bill locating the fourth insane hospi- tal at Hastings. It was quite a sur- prise to many. There will be an at- tempt to pass the bill over the gover- nor's veto. The matter was to come up in the legislature yesterday. Of course the people of Hastings are rather sore over the affair, and on the other hand Anoka rojoioee. But wait, the end is not yet. The action of the governor is not generally ap- provod.-Monteri<lco Advance. Th. Probate Court.

From Minnesota to Mexico. V. I t0 take full advantage of the unri- IRVINI: TODD S SON _ cept on was tendered the party by President Porfirio Diaz in the red room of the National Palace, at which several speeches were made and duly interpreted, and every one present given an opportunity to grasp the hand of one of the most prominent characters in modern history. As a matter of course he appeared some- what older than in 1889, but is still in the prime of life, with it is to be hoped many years of official incum- bency still before him. IIe has made Mexico what it is, and is honored and esteemed by the people of that coun- try beyond all comparison. In the evening the crack band of the war department gave au enter- tainment at the Hotel Iterbide, which was duly enjoyed by all concerned. SATUR1):AV'. .A1'It. Mb, 15t1�. sF:CO` 1) N:I)I'I'ION. Gov. Clough's latest. The governor of Minneapolis sent a special message to the legislature on Wednesday, asking it to appro- priate 81011,000 for afourth insane asylum at an alleged site somewhere upon the bottoms of Rum River, 11 which he and his friends lave an especial and personal interest. As nearly two-thirds of octal senate and house are opposed to that location, and as the three leading advocates of the minority proposition have a pro- test on file in the former body, ex- pressly stating -that the building of a fourth asylum is now entirely un- necessary. as shown by public records soil the reports of proper committees. the document only :aids insult to injury so far as the unfortunate wards of the state are cericeruet;. The regular appropriation hill tyas very appropriately passed on Thursday. The gall of this than Plough cer- tainly passet11 all understanding. The Anoka t-nion admits that fifty acres of their alleged asylum site is under water. but says that "the over- tlowage docs no injury, but positively improves it.- Certainly. There is little doubt that the greater portion of the land would be worth more if it was under water all the year round. The reapportionment hill passed the douse on Saturday. It provides for sixty-three senators and one hundred and nineteen representatives. Dakota County will be the twenty- seventh district. with one senator and two representatives as heretofore. The Red Win!! Journal has been bought by a stock company. and will he changed to The Times. with E. L. Grondabl as president. The paper uas 1 ecu considerably enlarged and otliertt .se improved. in 1linueapolis last Sunday evening was probably one of their governor's vetoes floating around in search of dry land in the vicinity of Anoka.

('lough before eltctlon are beginning to discover that he is governor. His veto of the Hastings asylum bill (how,,,I plainly that he proposes to preserve the good narm' of Minnesota and protect it against the machinations of a band of b t alis. If the -hand of boodlers" against whose "machinations- Minnesota has to depend upon Clough for protection is made up of the overwhelming ma- jority of both the house and senate by which the fourth hospital bill passed the legislature, it would seem to us that not only Minnesota hut Bob Dunn himself had better take to the woods. Bob is working hard and seems to be succeeding somewhat in making for himself it nice pine halo, but if he lets Clough wear it we very much fear that the wood will soon show through the UM' ish. Bob can never expect to get up a more splendid halo than the one worn by W. W. Braden fifteen or eighteen years ago, and now even Clough himself wouldn't be seen with it on. The 'band of boodlers" which Braden hail to con- tend against were not all strangers to D. M. Clough, and D. M. Clough is by no means a stranger in the old pine ring. It may be that Bob Dunn protests too much. Some men are known by the company they keep.— ,lfid)cay News. The much talked of fourth hospital site at Anoka is most of it under wa- ter, and the balance of it is so sandy the water leaked through. Now is a good time for the commission to look at and compare the two sites.—Col.a- to Enterprise. It is said that the Anoka hospital site went down the Mississippi dur- ing the high water and was caugh;; at Hastings, so that she has them both now.—Worthington Advance. Hastings people say they have a portion of the Anoka site preserved in a glass jar. It was washed down during the high water.—Stillwater Gazette, 6112111;i Rt ' ' � til ayctcareFten.t. `. Tlie National Palace occupies one side of the Plaza Major, at right an- gles with the cathedral, with a front- age of about six hundred feet. It contains all of the governmental of- fices, including the post, office and a number of show places, the Ambassa- dor's Hall, the museum, the observa- tories, the botanical garden, the senate late chamber, etc. There are three large entrances, guarded by soldiers, but freely open to everybody all day. The ante rooms through which we passed would probably round up with those of President McKinley's at Washington, so far as numbers are concerned. The usual anxiety, expectancy, and despondency was discernable upon nearly every countenance, particularly the ladies, who seemed to form a majority of those in waiting for the crumbs from the master's table. Saturday morning was a go as you please, every one amusing himself or herself to the best of their ability in looking up curios for home consump- tion, or taking short trips to leading points of interest. In the afternoon the street cars were again placed at our service, starting from the Zocalo at two o'clock for Chapultepec and Tacubaya. Chapultepec, the Hill of the Grass- hopper, is about six miles out, and the terminus of the Paseo, the famous driveway leading from the Alameda. The ascent to the castle begins through a large garden, flanked by mammoth cypresses, the climb around the winding carriage way being both long and tedious. At the summit is the scene of th„ successful assault in 1847, terminating in the surrender of the capital to the Americans. Moc- tezuma's Bath, now used by the water works, the handsome monu- ment erected to the memory of the brave defenders, a huge rock covered with ancient hieroglyphics, and a subterranean sally port leading to the grounds above were duly pointed out as we toiled along the rough and rugged journey. The castle or palace was built by the Viceroy Galvez, and luxuriously fitted up and fur- nished by Maximilian and Carlotta at an enormous expense. It is now called the White House, and occupied by President Diaz as a summer resi- dence during several months of the year. Entrance is obtained by a pass from the governor. Owing to the size of the crowd it was divided into squads, and hurriedly escorted through the principal rooms, without opportunity of inspecting the costly furniture, the tapestry, the ceilings, the silver plate, etc., contained in the most magnificent and extravagant apartments on this continent. Hav- ing leisurely examined the premises at our former visit with a guide, the writer merely kept up with the pro- cession to the flat roof, upon which there is a lovely garden filled with trees and tropical planta. Unfor- tunately the weather was too -cloudy In fact we only obtained a glimpse of Popocatepetl and the White Lady Sunday afternoon, and that a very indistinct one. The extinct volca- noes are sixty-five miles distant, and in a clear day would seem to he easily reached in an hour's drive. At the rear of the castle is the Military Academy, the Mexican West Point, and still further beyond, a half mile through the trees, the battle ground of Molino del Rey, now used as a government arsenal. The other battle fields of Churubnsco and Contreras lie to the south of the city. At Tacubaya we were taken through the immense gambling place termed the Monte Carlo of Mexico, where a game of roulette was extemporized for our benefit. The tables were piled full of silver dollars,but none of them were taken away by the party. This trip was particularly noticeable from the number of funeral ears con- tinually passing, a dozen being count- ed in the course of fifteen or twenty minutes. The style varied with the wealth of the family, from a plain, rented coffin with one attendant to a gorgeous catafalque followed by a car or two of relatives and friends of the departed. We also stopped at Bucareli to see a game of pelote, a cross between hand ball and lawn tennis, and much more scientific and interesting than either. It is en- couraged by President Diaz as an off- set to the bull fights. I. T. Pt. Douglas Items. Leslie Brown went up to Minneap- olis Monday, Miss Elsie Smith, of Farmington, is with her sister, Mrs. T. B. Leavitt. Wallace Nicol is down from Pine City to help his father put in the crops. There is to be a church service at the school house at Harris' corner next Sunday, Miss Stewart is again teaching in the Dalrymple District and Edith Mc Guire, of Hastings, has the Dibble school. Wallace Brown and his grand- mother started for Rochester on Tues- day where they will live with a daugh- ter of the latter, Mrs, Lucia Ottman. Hampton Items. Mrs. John Delfeld and Mrs, Con- rad Doffing went to St. Paul Wed- nesday. The (Hampton cheese factory will start up May 1st, with G. 11. Dolph as cheese maker. Dr. R. J. Perry removed to Farm- ington on Saturday, much to the re- gret of his many friends. Nels Bergren has removed his family to Donnelly. Mrs. Bergren was born in Hampton, and has lived here nearly all her life, and will be greatly missed by many friends. It may be that Gov. Clough's veto of the Hastings hospital meets with approval, but we fail to see it so men- tioned in the state press. As a rule the country papers are interested in neither Anoka nor Hastings, but believe the unfortunate insane need immediate care, and that any one man with the power in his hands to refuse it abuses the power by so doing. When the question again comes up it will be well to know that no Hopers are connected with the commission. If, as the governor says, this commission was a non- partisan one, in future we trust all commissioners will be partisan, trust- ing thereby to get men who will act consistently regardless of their poli- tical faith,—LeSueur Netts.

Clough's veto failed, and the outcome of the business will necessarily be the post- ponement of the building of any hos- pital for two years and the gc aeration of a great deal of bad blood between the rival interests. The state has paid $15,000 for the Anoka siie, which will constitute a nest egg from which some public institution will probably bo hatched in the future. All of this unfortunate and expensive business has grown out of the uncer- tainty of mind of commissioner Ho- per.—Faribault Republican. Gov. Clough received one hundred and eighty votes in this city at the general election last fall, and it is safe to say that if the election was to take place to -morrow he would not receive more than a beggarly two dozen.

After having been defeated by a two-thirds lnajority of the legislature in its contest for the fourth asylum for the insane, Anoka now modestly asks for $100,000 with which to begin building an asylum there. Whenever Anoka's star was in the ascendant its advocates claimed that another asylum was an absolute necessity, and when- ever Hastings' star rose Anoka was ready to prove by the same old figures that the building of another asylum would simply be a criminal waste of public funds. Let it be assumed that the voice of Gov. Clough is the voice of Anoka, for such has all along hien admittedly the case, and let us briefly dispose of the whole (natter. The legislature passed a bill to amply ro\'ide for the (, Insane of the P. p state for the next ten years, at least. Gov. Clough vetoed it. Then propo- sitions were made looking to some temporary arrangements for the care of the insane, but the dog of the fable still growled in the clanger, and in- sisted that what he could not use, no one else should have. Now, honestly, where lies the re- sponsibility'? With the republican party? Yes, because Gov. Clough is, in name at least, the head of that party. The party is responsible for him, and, therefore, it is responsible for his acts. The $100,000 which lie naively calls upon the legislature to appro- prIateYor Anoka would afford absolu- tely no immediate relief, but would merely be the entering wedge. Previouisly we have rendered honest tribute to the stiffness of the gover- nor's spinal column. Now let us be equally candid and confess that Anoka is the happy possessor of a gigantic nerve cluster which should be the ad- miration of all mankind and the de- spair of all those who would imitate it.—St. Paul 1)iapare•h. The Hastings -Anoka asylum con- troversy is at last definitely settled, for the present at least, by an em- phatic veto interlx)scd by the governor last week. The governor holds that the bill loeatineg the hospital at Hast- ings is against pubLc policy, but he lays particular stress upon the neces- sity to '`maintain unimpaired and un - impeached the honor and the reputa- tion for good faith and fair dealing of our state." While the governor's first objection against the bill can per- haps be based upon the ground that the expenditure of $350,000 for a fourth hospital at a time of general business depression is had policy, as long as adequate accommodations may be had at the present hospitals for a comparatively nominal outlay, it is not very clear how the location of the institution at Hastings can possibly impair the honor and reputation of the state. The Free Press has al- ways taken the position that a fourth hospital ought to be located either at or north of the twin cities, but since the commission unanimously decided in facor of Hastings in the first in- stance and then by the ingenuity of clever manipulators re -located the same at Anoka, it came to the con- clusion that the decisive element which balanced the scales in favor of Anoka was of it more material char- acte: than the advantages of the re- spective sites. If the state is in honor bound to stand by the acts of the commission in accepting the Anoka site, the same reason applies with mope force to its acts when the Hastings site was selected, for that site was selected by a unanimous vote of the commission, while the Anoka site never could command more than a bare majority.—St. Peter Free Press, As a result of the delinquent tax list of Rico County having been pub- lished in all the papers in the county this year, instead of In only one ss heretofore, we learn that the pay- ments of these tuxes have been great- ly in excess of those of former years, and that a comparatively small num- ber remain unpaid. — Morristown Press, Our New Oltlsens, The following second papers have been issued since our last report: Ludwig (defer, Hampton.

The governor of Minneapolis sent 1 special message to the legislature on 1Vednesday. asking it to appro- priate it 100.000 for a fourth iusace asylum at an alleged site somewhere upon the bottoms of Ruin River, in whish he and his friends have an especial and personal interest. As nearly two-thirds Of both senate and house are opposed to that location, and as the three leading advocates of the minority proposition have it pro- test ou file in the former hodv, ex- pressly stating -that the building of a fourth asylum is now entirely un- necessary, as shown by public records and the reports of proper committees... the document only adds insult to injury so far as the unfortunate wards of the state are concCrnrt;. The re•tttlar appropriation hill was very appropriately passed on Thursday. The gall of this roan Clough cer- tainly passet11 all understanding. The Anoka Union admits that fifty acres of their alleged asylum site is under tt ester, hurt says that the over- tlowage does no injury, but positively improves it.•' Certainly. There is little doubt that the gteater portion of the land would be worth more if it was under water all the year round. The reapportionment hill passed the house on Saturday. It provides for sixty-three senators and one hundred and nineteen representatives. Dakota County will be the twenty- seventh district, with one senator and two representatives as heretofore. The Red Wing Journal has been bought by a stock company, and will be changed to The Times, with E. L. Grondahl as president. The paper has been considerably enlarged and otlierwrse improved. Tru. .R'c,:2 in Minneapolis last Sunday evening was probably one of their governor's vetoes floating around in search of dry land in the vicinity of Anoka. W. F. Schilling has assumed the editorial chair of The Northfield News, a worthy successor of his illustrious predecessors. John Lind recovers a verdict of 8600 in his libel suit against The St. Paul Dispatch. IV. R. Merriam has been appointed receiver of the packing house at South St. Paul. The Princeton Union, State Audi- tor Dunn's paper, one of the most un- compromising Clough supporters in the state, thus glories over the gover- nor's disregard of the people's will: People who rielicul,rt I). M. Clough before election are beginning to discover that he is governor. His veto of the Hastings asylum bill showed plainly that h': proposes to preserve the good name of Minnesota and protect it against the machinations of a band of Wailers. If the "band of boodlers" against whose "machinations" Minnesota has to depend upon Clough for protection is made up of the overwhelming ma- jority of both the house and senate by which the fourth hospital bill passed the legislature, it would seem to us that not only Minnesota hut Bob Dunn himself had better take to the woods. Bob is working hard and seems to be succeeding somewhat in making for himself a nice pine halo, but if he lets Clough wear it we very much fear that the ?good will soon show through the oiolish. Bob can never expect to get up a more splendid halo than the one worn by W. W. Braden fifteen or eighteen years ago, and now even Clough himself wouldn't be seen with it on. The "band of boodlers" which Braden had to con- tend against were not all strangers to D. M. Clough, and D. M. Clough is by no means a stranger in the old pine ring. It may be that Bob Dunn protests too much. Some men are known by the company they keep.— Midway News. The much talked of fourth hospital site at Anoka is most of it under wa- ter, and the balance of it is so sandy the water leaked through. Now is a good time for the commission to look at and compare the two sites.—Coka- to Enterprise. It is said that the Anoka hospital site went down the Mississippi dur- ing the high water and was caugL at Bastings, so that she has them both now.— Worthington Advance. Hastings people say they have a portion of the Anoka site preserved in a glass jar. It was washed clown during the high water.—Stillwater Gazeete. From Minnesota to Mexico, V. Friday afternoon an informal re- ception was tendered the party by President Porfirio Diaz in the red room of the National Palace, at which ' several speeches were made and duly interpreted, and every one present given an opportunity to grasp the hand of one of the most prominent characters in modern history. As a matter of course he appeared some- what older than in 1889, but is still in the prime of life, with it is to be hoped many years of official incum- bency still before him. Ile has made Mexico what it is, and is honored and esteemed by the people of that coun- try beyond all comparison. In the evening the crack band of the war department gave au enter- tainment at the Hotel Iterbide, which was duly enjoyed by all concerned. 1sO — ausct U7T OFnee..V�`� The National Palace occupies one side of the Plaza -Major, at right an- gles with the cathedral, with a front- age of about six hundred feet. It contains all of the governmental of- fices, including the post office and a number of show places, the Ambassa- dor's Hall, the museum, the observa- tories, the botanical garden, the senate chamber, etc. There are three large entrances, guarded by soldiers, but freely open to everybody all day. The ante rooms through which we passed would probably round up with those of President McKinley's at Washington, so far as numbers are concerned. The usual anxiety, expectancy, and despondency was discernable upon nearly every countenance, particularly the ladies, who seemed to form a majority of those in waiting for the crumbs from the master's table. Saturday morning was a go as you please, every one amusing himself or herself to the best of their ability in looking up curios for home consump- tion, or taking short trips to leading points of interest. In the afternoon the street cars were again placed at our service, starting from the Zocalo at two o'clock for Chapultepec and Tacu haya. Chapultepec, the Hill of the Grass- hopper, is about six miles out, and the terminus of the Paseo, the famous driveway leading from the Alameda. The ascent to the castle begins through a large garden, flanked by mammoth cypresses, the climb around the winding carriage way being both long and tedious. At the summit is the scene of the successful assault in 1847, terminating in the surrender of the capital to the Americans. Moc- tezuma's Bath, now used by the water works, the handsome monu- ment erected to the memory of the brave defenders, a huge rock covered with ancient hieroglyphics, and a subterranean sally port leading to the grounds above were duly pointed out as we toiled along the rough and rugged journey. The castle or palace was built by the Viceroy Galvez, and luxuriously fitted up and fur- nished by Maximilian and Carlotta at an enormous expense. It is now called the White House, and occupied by President Diaz as a summer resi- dence during several months of the year. Entrance is obtained by a pass from the governor. Owing to the size of the crow(' it was divided into squads, and hurriedly escorted through the principal rooms, without opportunity of inspecting the costly furniture, the tapestry, the ceilings, the silver plate, etc., contained in the most magnificent and extravagant apartments on this continent. Hav- ing leisurely examined the premises at our former visit with a guide, the writer merely kept up with the pro- cession to the flat roof, upon which there is a lovely garden filled with trees and tropical plants. Unfor- tunately the weather was too -cloudy to take full advantage of the unri- valed view from this great elevation. In fact we only obtained a glimpse of Popocatepetl and the White Lady Sunday afternoon, and that a very indistinct one. The extinct volca- noes are sixty-five miles distant, and .in a clear day would seem to be easily reached in an hour's drive. At the rear of the castle is the Military Academy, the Mexican West Point, and still further beyond, a halt mile through the trees, the battle ground of Molino del Rey, now used as a government arsenal. The other battle fields of Churnbusco and Contreras lie to the south of the city. At Tacubaya we were taken through the immense gambling place termed the Monte Carlo of Mexico, where n game of roulette was extemporized for our benefit. The tables were piled full of silver dollars,but none of them were taken away by the party. This trip was particularly noticeable from the number of funeral curs con- tinually passing, a dozen being count- ed in the course of fifteen or twenty minutes. The style varied with the wealth of the family, from a plain, rented coffin with one attendant to a gorgeous catafalque followed by a car or two of relatives nod friends of the departed. We also stopped at Bucareli to see a game of pelote, a cross between hand ball and lawn tennis, and much more scientific and interesting than either. It is en- couraged by President Diaz as au off- set to the bull fights. I. T. Pt. Douglas Items. Leslie Brown went up to Minneap- olis Monday. Miss Elsie Smith, of Farmington, is with her sister, Mrs. T. B. Leavitt. Wallace Nicol is down from Pine City to help his father put in the crops. There is to be a church service at the school house at Harris' corner next Sunday. Miss Stewart is again teaching in the Dalrymple District and Ftdith Mc Guire, of Hastings, has the Dibble school. Wallace Brown and his grand- mother started for Rochester on Tues- day where they will live with a daugh- ter of the latter, Mrs. Lucia Outman, Hampton Items. Mrs. John Delfeld and Mrs. Con- rad Doffing went to St. Paul Wed- nesday. The Hampton cheese factory will start up May 1st, with G. Id. Dolph as cheese maker. Dr. R. J. Perry removed to Farm- ington on Saturday, much to the re- gret of his many friends. Nels Bergren has removed his family to Donnelly. Mrs. Bergren was born in Hampton, and has lived here nearly all her life, and will be greatly missed by many friends. It may be that Gov. Clough's veto of the Hastings hospital meets with approval, but we fail to see it so men- tioned in the state press. As a rule the country papers are interested in neither Anoka nor Hastings, but believe the unfortunate insane need immediate care, and that any one man with the power in his hands to refuse it abuses the power by so doing. When the question again comes up it will be well to know that no Hopers are connected with the commission. If, as the governor says, this commission was a non- partisan one, in future we trust all commissioners will be partisan, trust- ing thereby to get men who will act consistently regardless of their poli- tical faith.—LeSueur News. The attempt to pass the bill for a fourth hospital over Gov. Clough's veto failed, and the outcome of the business will necessarily he the post- ponement of the building of any hos- pital for two years and the gc aeration of a great deal of bad blood between the rival interests. The state has paid $15,000 for the Anoka site, which will constitute a neat egg from which some public institution will probably be hatched in the future. All of this unfortunate and expensive business has grown out of the uncer- tainty of mind of commissioner Ho - per. —Faribault o- per.—Faribault Republican. Gov. Clough received one hundred and eighty votes in this city at the general election last fall, and it is safe to say that if the election was to take place to -morrow he would not receive more than a beggarly two dozen. So much for the veto of the Hastings asylum bill.—G7taaka Iler'- ald. The legislature will adjourn nest Wednesday.

After having been defeated by a two-thirds majority of the legislature in its contest for the fourth asylum for the insane, Anoka now modestly asks for 8100,0011 with which to begin building an asylum there. Whenever Anoka's star was in the ascendant its advocates claimed that another asylum was an absolute necessity, and when- ever Hastings' star rose Anoka was ready to prove by the same old figures that the building of another asylum would simply he a criminal waste of public funds. Let it be assumed that the voice of Gov. Clough is the voice of Anoka, for such has all along been admittedly the case, and let us briefly dispose of the whole matter. The legislature passed a bill to amply provide for the insane of the state for the next ten years, at least. Gov. Clough vetoed it. Then propo- sitions were made looking to some temporary arrangements for the care of the insane, but the dog of the fable still growled in the manger, and in- sisted that what he could not use, no one else should have. Now, honestly, where lies the re- sponsibility? With the republican party? Yes, because Gov. Clough is, in name at least, the head of that party. The party is responsible for him, and, therefore, it is responsible for his acts. The 8100,000 which he naively calls upon the legislature to appr'o• prin'te'tor'Anoka would afford absohl- tely no immediate relief, but would merely be th© entering wedge. Previoutily we have rendered honest tribute to the stiffness of the gover- nor's spinal column. Now let us be equally candid and confess that Anoka is the happy possessor of a gigantic nerve cluster which should be the ad- miration of all mankind and the de- spair of all those who would imitate it,—St. Paul Diapee-h. The Hastings -Anoka asylum con- troversy is at last definitely settled, for the present at least, by an em- phatic veto interposed by the governor last week. Tho gm l'rnor holds that the bill locating the hospital at Hast- ings is agaivat puhl a policy, but he lays particular stress upon the neces- sity to "maintain unimpaired and un - impeached the honor and the reputa- tion for good faith and fair dealing of our state." While the governor's first objection against the bill can per- haps be based upon the ground that the expenditure of 8350,000 for a fourth hospital at a time of general business depression is bad policy, as long as adequate accommodations may be had at the present hospitals for it comparatively nominal outlay, it is not very clear how the location of the institution at Hastings can possibly impair the honor and reputation of the state. Tbo Free Press has al- ways taken the position that a fourth hospital ought to be located either at or north of the twin cities, but since the commission unanimously decided in favor of Hastings in the first in- stance and then by the ingenuity of clever manipulators re -located the same at Anoka, it came to the con- clusion tbat the decisive element which balanced the scales in favor of Anoka was of a more material char- actef than the advantages of the re- spective sites. If the state is in honor bound to stand by the acts of the commission in accepting the Anoka site, the same reason applies with more force to its acts when the Hastings site was selected, for that site was selected by a unanimous vote of the commission, while the Anoka site never could command more than a bare majority.—St. Peter Free Press. As a result of the delinquent tax list of Moe County having been pub- lished in all the papers in the county this year, instead of in only one as heretofore, we 'learn that the pay- ments of these taxes have been great- ly in excess of those of former years, and that a comparatively small num- ber remain unpaid. — Morritroton Press.

Articles <St incorporation have been drawn up and will be filed in a few days with the secretary of state for the Minnesota Beet Sugar Manufac- turing Company, with a capital stock of $2,000,000, divided into forty thousand shares of $50 each. The incorporators are T. F. Koch, St. Paul; J. H. Smith, Detroit, Minn.; Henry Keller and R. J. O'Connell, Sauk Centre; together with two well known wealthy gentlemen of Chicago, who are in a measure acting in behalf of the Wholesale Grocers' Association of that city. The object of the new company is to establish sugar beet factories throughout the northwestern states, as the Chicago association is at pres- ent completely at the mercy of the sugar trust. Speakers have been can- vassing the state in the interest of this matter, and it is now almost deft- nitely stated that the first factory will be located at Hastings, at a cost of $250,000. Officials of the St. Paul & Duluth Railroad are taking a deep interest in the new scheme, and if their efforts are successful a second factory will be located on their line not far from St. Paul. It would require the product from about twelve hundred acres to supply a factory, and until that amount of land can be pledged for beet raising the second factory will not he built. The railways have been taking an active interest in the new move, and with their consent Senator Keller in- troduced a bill some time ago fixing a one rate of freight on all beets ship- ped from any point within one hun- dred and ttventr-five miles from a factory. -St. Bea Pioneer Press, 11th.

A DREADFUL DISEASE INFORMATION OF VALUE TO EVERY- BODY ABOUT APPENDICITIS. A Dangerous Superlielty--Popular Errors oe the Sntyeet-naw to Recognise the Danger Sign -Between the Agee of Ten and Thirty It le Most to Ile Feared. There is a papular' and false notion that appendttltir, is caused by a grape Beed, an orange seed or some other foreign ttnbgtanoe getting into the vermiform appendix Tho true canal IS tho setting up of inflammation aneloonsequent gan- grene in the theme of the appendix, us- ually due to insufficient circulation of blood in the part itself. In thousands of operations which have taken place - many in timo to save the life of tho pa- tient and many too late --there is not ono authenticated case of to foreign sub- stance, such as a *mei, being found in the appendix. This will be more fully realized when one has in mind that the interior of the appendix is only big enough to admit a uwdlum sized darn- ing needle. Its great, liability to disease is duo entirely to its low order of vital resistance -that le, it Jean organ which appears to have no actual use in the present machinery of nein, but in the earlier stages of man's development it is believed to have been a large pouch that played an important part iu tho digestive operations of the human sys- tem. By ages of disuse it ham gradually shrank to its present dimensions and 1s known to science as a vestigial organ, ono which is only a remnant of its former self and possessing but a vestige of its original functions. This becomes more Blear if same other parts of the body which now seem to have no nso aro considered. The tonsils aro in this plass and aloe the wisdom tooth, and both are peculiarly subject to disease. Tho appendix is in one of the most delicate and vital parte of the body, in the peritoneal cavity, usually to the right of the center of the abdomen. But in rare instaneoe it haat been found on the left side, and etill more rarely otherwise displaced. This discovery, made very recently, has caused the sar- geons to be extremely careful to locate the trouble before wing tho knife. But soienoo never stands *till. It al- ways pushes its investigations beyond mere appearances, and nut of the myte- ries of nature develops facts which give it power and might, When it was once proved that the poison which produced septic peritonitis came from the break- ing down or decay of the appendix, the very root of one of man's worst physical fops was laid bare. Further practice established beyond a doubt that in a large majority of causes the appen- dix could be removed by a simple sur- gical operation and the patient restored to vigorous health, if the disease was dlsoovored in time and correctly diag- nosed. The surgeons now regard tho opera- tion itself as ono of the most simple, but to obtain the best results it should take place within a few hours after the patient begins to suffer from the disease. In fact, the sooner the operation 1s had the better are the chances of recovery, while if the kmifo is not rore)rted to death is sure to ensue very promptly or atter lingering miseriesfrom the deadly poison perambulating through the sys- tem and Doming to the surface in ab- et:eases. The symptoms are so plain and un- mistakable to the surgeon of today that any sufferer may know theme for himself: First. -Tho attack its always sodden. It oomes on when the person is appar- ently in the bort of health and without the slightest warning. Second. -A sharp pain is felt in the very center of the abdomen. This is al- ways the oaeo, whether the appendix bo in its comet place on the right side or displaoed to tho left. Third. -A sore and tender spot, very painful to the touch, is located exactly where the incision must be made to llud the appendix. These are the three plain symptoms which have been found in thontcauds of oases with scarooly a variation. Thus it is that many sudden deaths oocur to persons; in robust health. They are thought to have a °olio or a vertigo, when the truth is tont miserable and useless little organ, the appendix, Iws met with some kind of stn accident and clogs the whole machine. Appendicitis usually oeoare between the ages of 10 and 80 years. It is ex- tremely rate above or below those ages. It is much more frequent among males than females, the proportion in all countries being 20 per rout females to 80 per oent males. The mute for this diffemnoo is of very reoent dleoovery, and is not even known generally among the medical profession. Dr. Clado, a French surgeon and investigator, sought an explanation of tho comparative immunity of the fe- male sex hwu the malady, and diaoov- ered that the appendix in woman has an extra blood vessel that does not exist in MAIL This discovery was hailed with delight by tho surgical world. It was not only a bit of new knowledge of in- Snite valve, but was an additional proof of the theory that the collapse of the appendix is always due to its want of vital resiatanoo.-Now York Journal veaeaeeta.

The handerilleros then make their appearance with darts about two feet in length, four pairs of which must be inserted. They are sharp and barbed, and with the weight of the stick prove an exceeding tor- ture to the now enfuriated beast. The capeadores appear in swarms until the death signal is given by the manager, subject to the approval of the audience, when a matadore en- ters with a bright scarlet banner, and after a few preliminary flourishes gives the fatal sword thrust in the back of the neck. In several in- stances this did not prove immediate- ly fatal, at a great loss of local reputation and probably a fine upon the part of the management.

The amphitheatre is a perma- nent building without roof, after the Manner of an immense circus ring, and capable of seating at least fifteen thousand people. Fully one-half of the scats are in the sun at a greatly reduced price, while on the shady side the tickets range from seventy-five cents for the benches to ;2 in the boxes. The crowd was estimated at from eight to ten thousand. First came the baud, then the president or director, usually a state official, fol- lowed by a grand entree of the entire company, and then the first bull, which proved a coward, and after being jeered and hissed was turned out of the ring in disgrace.

In all there were six bulls and thirteen horses slaughtered, a fair afternoon's work, and had a man or two been killed or seriously injured the affair would have been pronounced a tre- mendous success. Aside from the disgusting spectacle of disemboweling a few old plugs there was little or nothing to give offense to the average spectator, but it would never be a popular entertainment north of the Rio Grande. A majority of our party, particularly the ladies, did not stay it out, but quite a number of us saw the last bull dragged to the rear by the three gaily caparisoned horses. Kodaks were greatly in evidence, and undoubtedly an unique collection of pictures were secured as souvenirs of a never to be forgotten occasion. 1. T. Pt. Douglas Items.

A good time was had at the Easter hall at Campbell's Hall, about one hundred couples being present. the cruel sport. The performers are divided into four classes, the mata- dores who kill the victim with a sword, the banderilleros who thrust the barbed darts into his neck, the picadores on horseback armed with lances, and the capeadores with large cloaks lined with red. The animal dazed by the crowd espies one of the latter and makes a charge, which is skilfully avoided by a turn to the side, or in eases of emergency a leap over the low fence into the alley between the ring and the spectators. In several instances the hull followed, delaying the game until he was driven back into the centre again. After several feints one of the picadores manages to spur his old blindfolded skeleton of a horse into proper posi- tion to be gored, a feat which is applauded in proportion to the amount of entrails strewn over the loose sand.

The wrangle over the insane hospital has caused no estrangement, for hardly a fortnight since a very fine flavored cigar, which he got in Mexico while away with the National Edi- torial Association, was forwarded to me with his compliments, saying that no difference over the asylum should create any had feeling between us. No bad stuff about either the sender or the choice Havana, is there?— aaol,'a 1 hist. Will the governor call an extra ses- sion of the legislature, to appropriate money for the building of a fourth insane hospital at Anoka? Not if he has any regard for the future welfare of himself or his political friends. The legislature has trade ample pro- vision for the care of the insane for the next two years, and until the next legislature Inas had an opportunity to act upon the matter.

Clough seems to be determin- ed to coerce the legislature into sub- mission on the Anoka fourth hospital matter. Last Wednesday he sent a message to that body urging an ap- propriation of not less than $100,000 for the erection of such an institution at Anoka, although but a few weeks ago the legislature decided by a two- thirds majority in favor of Hastings. It now remains to be seen whether the opinion of a single individual overbalances the judgment of over one hundred lawmakers, reached after deliberate and conscientious consider- ation in the committee rooms and halls of both branches of the legisla- ture. The governor's veto message to the bill locating the fourth hospital at Hastings and his Wednesday mes- sage urging an appropriation for the Anoka site expose the whole fourth hospital scheme as a mere business venture of the respective parties in- terested, in which Mr. Clough takes sides with his old home. His solici- tude for the well being of the state's insane did not prevent him from de- feating a measure that was intfoded to accomplish this very thing, tinder the somewhat far-fetched pretext that it was incompatible with the honor of the state and good public policy. The "deplorable condition of the pa- tients in the state hospitals" and "the gravity of the situation" evidently had no effect upon his excellency's mind when he penned his veto mes- sage, but having succeeded in arrang- ing the business end of the "urgent necessity" he is now willing to make some concessions to the unfortunate inmates. That the "pitiable and cry- ing condition" of the insane has but little to do with the object of those manipulating for a fourth hospital has been duly demonstrated by the methods employed to reach a final de- cision, and is also easily proven by a comparison of what the legislature in- tends .o do and of what the governor recommends to be done instead. The additional improvernents at St. Peter, Rochester, and Fergus Falls, provided for in bills now pending, will accom- modate nearly four hundred new pa- tients. If the governor's idea should prevail the appropriation for these proposed improvements would in all probability be lopped off and with it the facilities for at least two hundred patients. It will thus be observed that the feeling and solicitude exhib- ited for the poor unfortunates is of a rather speculating quality, with a profitable prospectus in the back- ground. Divested of all its senti- mental paraphernalia the whole affair simmers down to a petty quarrel be- tween interested parties over the per- simmons expected from a state insti- tution. It is to be hoped that the legislature stands firm in its original position. The state cannot afford to subordinate its best interests to the Feed of cunning speculators, and it is unfortunate the t',the governor per- mitted himself to be made a party to the controversy.—Se. Peter Free Press. Work will probably commence at the boom May 1st. The water in the St. Croix now registers only fifteen feet above the lqw water mark and is steadily falling; when it gets down to the thirteen foot mark the boom can be operatedd, providing the current is not too swift. A crew of about three hundred men will he employed at first. There is still considerable snow and ice up river, but the water in the streams is not very high at present; the cold weather has effect- ually checked the thaw and prevented a flood on the St. Croix, There is every indication of another rise the latter part of next month, however. —Stilheatcr Gazette, At the close of the session ap- proaches it becomes more and more evident that the legislature cannot hear the governor's demand for an appropriation of $100,000 for a hos- pital at Anoka. Every time it is mentioned the old Hastings warriors, who lost that fight after having hon- orably won it, sniff the air, turn red around the oars, and express their anxiety to get a chance to vote on the governor's bill. It takes no son of a prophet to discern what they would do with it.—St. Paul Dispatch. Gov. Clough has sent a message to the legislature asking that $100,000 be appropriated for building the fourth asylum at Anoka. It looks a little like bulldosing.—Madelia Timm. allnor Topics. Mrs. W. R.

I think the district court at Still- water is an exception to all courts east of, say, the plains of Montana, in that it has the ways of a sort of amoke social. During oourt the judge smokes his cigar, the lawyers while trying cases smoke, the jury smoke, and so do the spectators. Not that it is a rule of the court requiring every one to smoke, but such as desire may do so. It looked mightily social to see the judge rip a match along his desk and light an expired cigar in an interim of decid- ing as to the immateriality and incompetency of an objection raised by counsel, and no leas so when the contending lawyers exchanged lights for their Havanna. Judge Crosby, of Hastings, was presiding, and ap- peared as a man of genial disposition, possessing a peculiarly pleasing voice and manner, and promptness in decid- ing pointe, doing so in a sort of argumentative manner that must be soothing to the legal mind he sits down upon. Such complaisancy ib not usual with judges who have been long on the bench, but probably this is a feature with Judge Crosby that makes him popular- And popular he must be, for he has been returned to the bench until his terms have covered more than a quarter century. I should judge him to be nearing the seventies in age, but he must be keen of memory, for when I was introduced to him, he said instantly, "Oh, yes, you are from Marshall; I met you there sixteen years ago, when I held court for Judge Cox, who was being impeached."—Editoriul Gr.

Members of the senate committee which investigated, but failed to regulate Labor Commissioner Powers, have a good deal to say about the means that were used to turn down the report of the committee. They do not hesitate to declare that the governor exerted his personal influ- ence in the same way which he did in the Hastings bill. "There goes me and Dave," remarked a member of the committee to -day, as the governor emerged from his office, in company with his colored messenger. And then he added, "They are two of the most influential men in the state; they constitute two-thirds of the house and senate in a negative sense, and at least one-third in a positive sense." The same men are given to the perpetration of playful jokes con- cerning the participancy of tate labor bureau in the preparation of execu- tive messages and state papers, and on the whole aro inclined to subject his excellency to ordinary, every -day josh.

THE GAZETTE. IRVINO TODD d1 SON. SATURDAY. APR. 24th, 1897. FORETELL STORMS. GEESE SERVE AS BAROMETERS FOR A NEW JERSEY FARMER. While the Flocks Sometimes Make Nui- sances of Themselves With Their Noise, They Tet Perfornt Valuable Services by Predicting What the Weather Will Be. "Maybe you have often noticed that some farmers keep geese year in and year out, let them have the run of the farm and seem to show them all kinds of consideration," said tui observant summer boarder, "yet are always swear- ing that they are the biggest nuisance iu the world. If you have noticed that peculiarity of the daily roni�d�s of the husbandman, you have doubtless many a time wondered why in blazes the farmer kept such nuisances on hisprem- ises. I used to wonder why it was, but I never bothered myself to find out the reason, and one summer an explanation of the mystery caune about in a funny wall. I was passing my vacation on a farm over iu Jersey. Tho farmer had a big flock of geese, and he was eternally throwing the weightiest kind of Jersey cuss words at them. One day I sat on the front stoop talking with my host. The geese were placidly cropping grass down along the road, a big gander lead- ing them on. Peace, tranquillity and cont3ntment spoke iu every movement the fowls made. There wasn't a cloud in the sky that I could see. Tho farm- er's men were working without ranch apparent vim at raking and loading hay down iu a meadow not a great way off. "Suddenly the old gander poked up his head, gave voice to a peculiar squawk, lifted his wings and started off ou a run as fast as his big webbed feet would let him go. All the geese poked up their necks at the sound of the gander's voice, lifted their wings and, with a chorus of noises that only a flock of geese can produce, started after the gander as fast as they could waddle. The gander ran perhaps 20 yards, and then, with a wild shriek, he took wing and flew in the direction of a pond a short distance from the road. The geese flew after him, filling the air with their discordant cries. Gander and geese alighted in the pond, where they all gathered in a bunch, held a consultation in a subdued chorus of cackles and went through all sorts of erratic maneuvers for a few minutes. Then they separated and swam about as placidly as they had been pasturing by the roadside a few minutes before. "At the first movement of the gan- der, when he disturbed the tranquillity of the feeding flock, my host rose quick- ly to his feet and as he moved toward the meadow exclaimed: "'There's them ding hayiu hands workin as if they had all the rest of the year to git that hay in, and here we're goin to be ketched in a teariu old show- er in less than au hour, or else there ain't no use in keepin geese.' "Then ho hurried down to the mead- ow, spurred up the men ind took an active hand himself at the loading of the hay. Before 15 minutes had passed I saw clouds banking in the horizon, and presently the mutter of thunder was heard among them. The farmer was right. In au hour ono of the hard- est thunderstorms I ever saw was rag- ing over that part of New Jersey, and it caught the last load of the old man's hay in transit. After slipper that night I questioned the farmer on the goose question and found that the reason he tolerated a flock of geese on his farm was that they kept him posted on the weather. " 'They hain't never failed me yit,' he said. 'When I git up in the moruin and see them geese out on the pond, divin and dressin down their feathers as if they was gittin ready to go to some par- ty or other, I know that we are sure of clear, warm, dry weather, and I make my calculations accordin'ly. If the geese ain't a -ressin theirselves much, but act kind« • as if it wasn't of mach use to spruce up, then I keep my eye on 'em. That's a warnin that we are in danger of a spell of weather. If the geese quit the pond and don't go back much through the day, I know that the danger holds, and I git myself ready for a good old fashioned rain, sot in for a day or two anyhow. If they feed along awhile and waddle back to the pond chipperlike and go to dressin theirselves and divin, I'm quite certain for sure that there won't be no sot rain com- menein that day. If the geese gits up all of a sudden and tears around like you seen 'em today, then there's a shower comin, and a-comin fast, yon kin bet a cooky.' "That's the reason some farmers keep geese around and still 'holler' it out every little while that they wish the ding things were in Halifax. They are weather prophets, and the farmers be- lieve in them as firmly as they do in the tradition that there's a right and a wrong time of the month to put in po- tatoes and to butcher hogs. This farmer told me this and other 1 uaty things about geese as storm prophets. 11e said that when they prophesy a storm the sounds they make are not like their cribs at any other time. An expert reader of geese signals can tell the frightened cry from tho prophetic storm shriek as far as he can hear it. "—New York Sun. Our Society Leaders. Society in Europe has a certain re- stricted meaning which enables one to picture to himself what "in society" means. It is not necessarily a brilliant distinction, but it is at least a sufficient- ly intelligible definition. But here "so- ciety leader" and "clubman" may mean something or nothing, as the case may be. Here again democracy exaggerates the very sentiments and positions it is supposed to ignore. Every woman with two changes of headgear is a "society woman," and every man with a top hat and two pairs of trousers is a "club- man." One hears, too, more talk about "old families" here than anywhere else. Why it is I know not, unless it be be- cause they secretly fuel that they are all so new. — "America and Americans From a French Point of View."

ARRANGEMENT OF THE OFFICIAL QUARTERS OF THE EXECUTIVE. Views From the Windows of the East Room—The "Hall of the Disappointed." Telephone Is Almost the Only Modern Improvement I■ the Building. Mr. C. C. Basel writes a paper for The Century on "Our Fellow Citizen of the White House," devoted to the official cares and duties of the president, in the course of which he says: At 10 o'clock a hardly discernible sign against the glass of the barrier an- nounces to the citizen who has arrived under the grand portal that the execu- tive mansion is "open" to visitors. At 2 o'clock the sign is changed to "clos- ed." The doorkeepers swing the doors open to everybody. Within the large vestibule nothing is seen which indi- cates the arrangement luid purposes of the different parts of the mansion. It was not always so, for originally the now concealed corridor, or middle hall, with the staircase on the right, was a part of the entrance hall. Now the spaces between the middle columns are closed with colored glass partitions, and the vestibule is simply a large, square room pleasant to get out of. No way appears to open to the state apartments in the center or to the west wing, which is devoted to the private apartments. Yet glass doors are there, though as imperceptible to the stranger as a swinging panel. To the left there is a door which is always open. It ad- mits to a small hall, across which asim- ilar door is the side entrance to the great east room. About this splendid room, comprising the whole east end of the mansion, the visitor may wander at will before the portraits or enjoy from the windows the beauty of the treasury building to the east or the impressive landscape to the south, including the towering shaft of the Washington mon- ument and beyond the ever charming Potomac, spreading with enlarging curves toward Mount Vernon, and in the private garden under the windows he may chance to see a merry band of little ones. From the small hall between the ves- tibule and the east room a stairway as- cends toward the medial line of the building to a wide middle hall, on each side of which are the offices of the pres- ident. The arrangement is simple, and in the floor plan covers the space occu- pied below by the east room and the green room, the latter being the coun- terpart of the small hall with the pnblio stairway just mentioned. At the head of these stairs, over the green room, is the cabinet room, which is the first apartment in the south side of the hall, a jog of two steps, at the private door into the president's room, marking the raised ceiling of the east room below. The president reaches his office throngh the cabinet room, entering the latter from the library, which corresponds on the second floor with the blue room of the state apartments. President Arthur indeed used the library as his office and the cabinet chamber for an anteroom, while his private secretary was domi- ciled in the traditional office of the pres- ident. During his first term Mr. Cleve- land preserved the same arrangement. But General Harrison went back to the office hallowed by Lincoln's occupancy, and Mr. Cleveland, on his return, found the arrangement so satisfactory that he continued it. Beyond the president's large, square office is the corner room where Private Secretary Thurber is always either wrestling with the details of executive business or standing with his shoulder braced against the crowd etruggling to see the president. It is a narrow apart- ment and might be called appropriately the "hall of the disappointed," the sug- gestion being emphasized by portraits of the greatest of presidential aspirants, Clay and Webster, to which Mr. Thurber added, as his private property, an en- graving of the closest contestant for the office, Governor Tilden. On the north side of the hall there are two rooms which correspond to thoee on the south side jest described, the small one being occupied by Mr. O. L. Pruden, the assistant secretary since Gen- eral Grant's time and the custodian of the office books as well as of the tradi- tions which govern the public social routine of the executive mansion. In his room sits the telegraph clerk at his instrument, and by the window is a tel- ephone, which saves a great amount of messenger service between the president and the departments. Occasionally a congressman, with less ceremony than discretion, attempts to get an appoint- ment with the ear of the president over the telephone, and there is a record of a stage earthquake produced in the private secretary's room by a furious congress- man who found the telephone ineffect- ive and his Olympian style even less so. Notwithstanding that it is almost the sole modern improvement in the White House, President Cleveland was seen at the telephone but once, and then, needless to say, not on call. Test Cashmere. Cashmere, that unobtrusive, graceful, hanging material, conspicuously the gentlewoman's fabric, is with ns again, and a word of warning as to the purples and blues may not be out of place.

Queer Fun For the Cowboy Sportsmen In Southern Utah. "Yon may talk about hunting deer and elk or mountain goats, but for real sport horse hnntilkg is destined to lay all such shooting in the shade in the near future." This remark was made by B. F. Saunders, one of the cattle kings of Utah. Mr. Saunders each year sells about 2,600 head of cattle to Montana stockmen. "In the Rooky mountain ranges there are now roaming about fully 2,000,000 horses that may be said to belong to no one. Tho range horse has beoome so worthless and such a drug on the mar- ket that for several years past stockmen have not branded the young horses growing up. The horses on the plains now are about one-half without brands and are relapsed into a perfectly wild state. "Down in the southern part of Utah, where my cattle range all the year, boys are shooting these wild horses whenever they get a chance. This prac- tioe, of course, makes thoee horses that escape wilder than ever, and it is only now and then that a band of horses can be approached near enough to got a shot at them. There is no danger of any one being injured by this sport, as the horses are a nuisance, and all cattlemen wish to see them exterminated. Many cattlemen themselves own bands of horses that aro running wild, and when they go out to round them up it is not as of old to brand, but to shoot them. "In the Rocky mountain ranges in Montana, Utah, Nevada and elsewhere it is now generally acknowledged that range horses are a public nuisance and they ought to be exterminated. They eat up the grass needed for cattle, and they are as hard on a range as sheep. The horses oat grass right down to the roots, thus in dry weather completely destroying the range they graze over. "There was a time not many years ago when a big band of horses was con- sidered very valuable property and guarded carefully. A horse thief was considered on the range one degree worse than a murderer and was hanged sometimes on very slight evidence. "A man who would now go out on the range and steal a few bands of horses would be allowed to ship them away and be bailed as a public benefao- tor. Around his neck, instead of a rope, would be thrown wreaths of flowers, and all men would praise him as a philanthropist of a very high order. "It is a fact that any one who wished oould round up all the horses he could find in almost any section of the Rocky mountain range and no one would ques- tion his right. The day of the rauge horse is past, and it will never oome again. The time is coming, in my mind, when the horse, like the buffalo, will be in danger of becoming extinct. "Don't yon know that in recent years the railroads compel a shipper to prepay freight on horses, which is the only sort of live stook where such a rule applies. "The sport of hunting horses is en- oouraged by stockmen and can be in- dulged in with impunity. It is destined, I think, to become very popular, as it ie exciting and somewhat dangerous. "The propceltion of canning horse meat for the European market was thought at one time to be a way of util- izing the range horse to advantage, but that is evidently afailure. It was talked of for some time, but nothing more is beard of it. Tho only way I can see of getting rid of horses is to make the sport of shooting them popular, as I believe it is destined to become. "Of course a dead horse is no good, but thousands of buffaloes v: ere killed for the sport there was bunting them, so why not horses?"—Butte Miner. Dn Maurler. Few people know that the author of "Trilby" died of an abscess on the heart. It is an extremely uncommon disease, which is contracted only in the untumu, and is produced by taking a septic germ into the system. It teems as if persons never experience what they dread most. All his life Du Maurler dreaded total blindness, yet ho died before the blow could fall. What splendid work be did with only one eyel One wonders if it could have been better had he been blessed with perfect vision. I said to him one day, "How is it that your daughters have both married regular 1)u Maurier men—the kind you have aways drawn?" "Oh," he said, with a whimsical smile, "I brought them up to think that was the only kind of man thy could arry." m "That's all very well," said 1. "But how do yon explain the fact that your grandchildren are the very image of tho children we all love so in your draw- ings?" "I taught my girls," said be, "that those were the only kind of children they could have." It occurred to me that this was a triumph of mind over matter well worth considering.—Bar- per's Bazar. Mirrors. The earliest looking glasses, or mir- rors, were of either metal, highly pol- ished, or of black painted mica. It is noted in Jewish history that the laver was made of braes "of the looking glass- es of the women assembling, which as- sembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation," and some commeuta- tors conjecture that these women gave up their bronze or copper hand mirrors to (supply the material for the laver. Egyptian women always carried their mirrors to the temples, and the Hebrew women probably did likewise, as do the Arabian and Turkish women today. Glass mirrors are of comparatively re- oent date. Mirrors of silver and gold were commonly used in mediteval time& In 1960 Venice became tlio sent of the manufacture of glees mirrors, which have since superseded all other varieties, the improvements in the manufecturo of plate glass enabling mirrors to be made of great tiza Arcturus is not less than 70 and is probably more than 100 light years dis- tant from ns.

Wrinkles are as natural to old age as is a full, smooth face to childhood. They are due mainly to a certain shrinkage of the muscles—a shrinkage which charso- terisee more or loess the entire system in the later period of life. It is in canoe - queues of this general shrinkage that in advanoed life the height is somewhat lowered; that the substance of the jaws contracts, thus often giving rise, by pressure on the nerves that pass through the bony canals, to severe and difficult neuralgia, and that the brain sabstanoe becomes reduced in bulk, water filling the vacant space. Were it not for the Hied habits and aocamnlated resource of a lifetime an old man's brain would not be equal to the work which he still performs easily. There is, of course, much differonoe between old people in this respect, which is due largely to temperament, habits of thought and of feeling and modes of life. The papers lately told of a man over 100 years old whoeo face was wholly without wrinkles. This was a very ex- ceptional case, for the great body of us, if we attain length of days, must take them with the addition of physical de- cay. Even the proud belle meet make up her mind for wrinkles, but if, as she grows older, she grows in good sense, intelligence and kindly eympathies, her beauty of character will have an attrao. tion far beyond beauty of fano. While wrinkles result from the natural work- ing of the system, they may also be caused by a perverted condition of the system, , as are pimples, blotches and Now, the human face, unlike that of brutes, was meant to be the "mirror of the mind," the visible expression of ev- ery passion, emotion and inmost feeling. Herein is its chief beauty; hence its numerous muscles and nerves, whereby it is so wonderfully adjusted to this end. But muscles in constant or frequent ex- ercise increase in volume, strength and readiness of action; henoe habits of thought and feeling become stamped on the face, and wo read so eaaily the character of the proud, the vain, the de- ceitful and the sensual man or of the kind, the calm, the energetic, the frank, the candid and the honest man. But there is nothing like care and worri• went to plow furrows in the forehead, and them are badly marring the faces of some men and women. We pass in the etreets persons of 85 whose foreheads are more wrinkled than the brow should be at 70. Some of these may have more care than others, but they unnecessarily yield to the tendency to exprese them in the faoe.—Leeds Mercury. Look In Old Shoes. The Chinese valve a pair of old boots which have been worn by an upright magistrate, and the custom of wishing a friend a "happy foot" is still observed all through Europe. The casual putting on the left shoe on the right foot, put- ting it on uneven or crosswise, bursting the latch or tie, lacing it wrong and losing a button aro all bad sign& A Yorkshire man will spit in his right shoe before putting it on, when going out on important business, to bring luck, and many an English girl has been known to hang her boote outside of the window on St. Valentine's night for love luck. Professor Black tells us of a eingnlar superstition existing in England, which insists that if the youngest daughter of a family marries first her sisters meet dance at the wedding without shoes, so as to insure husbabids for themaelvee. Old shoe throwing ie done for many purposes, In Ireland the election of a person to almost any offioo is concluded by throwing an old shoe over his head. The gypsies say: Hanle after an old shoe, I'll Iso merry what here 1 do. In the isle of Man an old shoe is al- ways thrown after the bride, as well as the groom, when leaving their homes, and in the south the oldest person on the plantation, white or black, always throws a shoe after any one starting on a long journey. It is said that Mme. Patti and other women of high standing on the stage preserve moat carefully the boots they wore at their debut, which they consider lucky to wear on the first nights of engagements forever after.— Newark Standard. The Largest Poultry Farm. Farm Poultry says that Isaac Wilbur of Little Compton, R. I., has the largest poultry farm in the world. He ships from 180,000 to 160,000 dozen of eggs a year. He keeps his fowls on the col- ony plan, housing about 40 in a house 8 by 10 or 8 by 12 feet in size, these houses being about 160 feet apart, set out in long rows over the gently eloping field& He has 100 of these houses, scat- tered over three or four fields. The food is loaded into a low wagon, which is driven about to each house in turn, the attendant feeding as ho goes. At the afternoon feeding the eggs are collected. The fowls are fed twioe a day. The meaning food is a mash of 000ked vege- tables and mixed meals. This mash is made up the afternoon of the day before. The afternoon feed is whole corn the year round. New York Chess Women.

The iunumerable silver lamps give a dim religious light, and the jewels on the imago of the Ma- donna and the Child—a wonderful black image, carved, it U said, by 8t. Luke from cedar of Lebanon—eointillate in the gloom like innumerable stars. Such is the holy house which angels are said to have brought from Nazareth in the thirteenth' century in order to save it from desecration by the infldeL But the house was not brought immedi- ately to Loretto. The angels placed it first on a hilltop near Fiume, on the Dalmatian shore. There it stayed for throe years, when it was moved again and deposited in a wood on the opposite site side of the Adriatic, near Recanati. The wood was a laurel wood, and the hoose was consequently called downs lauretana, or lionise of Loretta Twice more, however, the bonso was miracu- lously moved short distances, till it was at length placed in its present position, not a very convenient one, it might have been imagined, for it wad then the middle of the public road. • It seems almost unneoeesary to say that there have been these that have made merry at this frequent "transla- tion" of the holy house, yet an innu- merable multitude of the great ones of the earth, including many popes and kings, have paid homage to this black Madonna in its rude stone cottage.— Westminster Gazette. Belief Comes With ILnowledge. "Travelers' tales," although they have always been regarded with enapi- cion, were received by our ancestors in a singularly confiding 'spirit, and Marco Polo, and "that archliar" even, Sir John Mandeville bimeelf, were treated with more or less respect But as if to make up for their readiness to believe in "Gorgon and Hydras and Chimeras dire," when at a distance, other gener- ations were eingularly distrustful of most things near at hand. They dis- played to a singular extent the wonder- ful akeptioism that in all things directly touching the person generally accom- panies ignorance. The state of mind was very much that of the honest farm- er in the city who is in constant dread of being "bnnooed. " Ignorance doubts itself, and conse- quently everybody and overythin else. It is only complete knowledge that is more nearly eredulona, and advance to- ward it has been shown iia ranch by what men aro willing to believe and the readiness with which they believe it as by anything else. When the mar- vels of the Roentgen rays were an- nounced, the attention of the world was brought up with a round turn by a die- oovery almost dramatic in its sudden- ness and surprise. Such sharp demands aro becoming more and more frequent, but if there is anything more wonderful than the amazing nature of such inven- tion it is tho way in which they are received.—Scribner'a. How Dr. Cuyler Berens a Minister. Peter Carter, in Golden Rule, tells how the Rev. Dr. Theodore L Cuyler became a minister. It was chiefly ow- ing to his mother's influence. Most of Theodore's immediate male ancestors were distinguished lawyom, and one of them offered him a fine library if he would enter the legal profession. His mother, however, had consecrated him to the ministry, and fearing that be might be persuaded into the study of law she sent him abroad, which was the first of his many trips across the sea. While he was absent in Europe, his mother engaged a room for him at Princeton Theological seminary, so strong was her faith that he was to be a minister. On hie return from Europe young Cuyler went with his mother to visit some relatives near Ludlowville, N. Y., and while there made two or three addreseea at Insall religious meet - Inge.

Ensilage is made by cutting the corn- stalk when the ear is still in tbo milk, chopping up stack, blade, corn and cob and packing the green food in a vat usually about 90 feet deep. After tbo mass has been allowed 0 ferment for from 48 to 60 hours, depending on the warmth of the weather, the contents of the vat is weighted down and fermen- tation maeea.

Justice White of the supreme coact is known among newspaper mon as one of the kindliest men in the world. Not long ago a correspondent found it neces- sary to call upon the justices at mid- night for a copy of an opinion delivered by him in the court that day. Justine White was in bed asleep, and it was with great difficulty his servant was induced to awaken him. "If I did not know him to be tee best man in the world, I wonld not dare to do it," sho explained. The correspondent waited anxiously in the hall for the verdict Would the justice Dome down stairs? And if he came, would it be for the purpose of looking up the desired doc- ument or of throwing the disturber of the peace out? After a time the big jnetioe came down the stairs in hie pyjamas, rubbing his sleepy eyes. He was not enthusias- tic about his midnight call, but ho was very polite. As soon as the visitor had explained his errand the justice led the way to hie library. There he got down on bis knee and rummaged about through some dusty old papers in the bottom of a bookcase for the desired document, In a quarter of an boar he found it, and ho was very glad ho had beers able to do so, though not half so well pleased iia the newspaper man, to whom this bit of paper meant a "scoop" the next morning for the journal be represented.

Detroit JournaL Largs Show Among the stories told of early Cali- fornian days is one which gives a re- markable picture of a blaekamith shop. In the days before roads had been laid out and sawmills built a black- smith settled on one of the river bane, and, erecting a forge of Olay and stone, set the anvil on a big tree stamp, which be bad sawed low for that purpose, and did a thriving business sharpening the picks and drills of the miners. He was himself a miner and did bis blacksmithing almost entirely at night. Not knowing when his claim might fail or be disputed and be forced to move on to another place, ho did not think it worth his while to build a reg- ular atop. Ono day two of rho miners left the bar for a town some 20 miles away. As they came into the main trail loading to the blacksmith's haunt they met a man leading a horse which had lost a shoe and was stumbling badly. "Strangers," said the man in a weary tone, "can you tell me bow far it is to tbo blacksmith's abop? My horse hair lost a oboe, and he's mighty lame." "Well, now," said one of the miners, leaning forward and smiling in a most encouraging way, "don't you be for givin up.

Signor Arturo Nuttini is a blind pian- ist wbo is not a freak, but a player of remarkable ability. He was bora in Florence 88 years ago and became to- tally blind in his first year, but ho now plays the most difficult rhapsodies of Liszt, senates of Beethoven and other classical compositions with wonderful technic and expretudon. While Pa- derewaki and hie contemporaries play Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsodic, No. 6," one of the most difficult oompoeitiona, in a transposed key, Signor Nuttini plays it in the original Icey—six sharps. The way Signor Nuttini learns his pieces is carton& He has a little ma- chine, consisting of a fiat metal board, in which there are tiny grooves, over which he flta a sheet of thick paper, and, with the aid of a little rater and awl, perforates all his music in a pecul- iar manner as his interpreter reads it from the regular staff. No music is too intricate for him to copy, and often aft- er once copying the oomposition he can play it without first running his sensi- tive fingers over the perforations. --San Francisoo Argonaut Did Ilia Best.

Lieutenant Glyn, the young guards- man who recently encountered a "ghost" in Windsor castle, continues to insist that his eyes did not deceive him, and, judging from the details of his ex- perience which he gravely gives to all inquirers, it is more than probable that ho is quite right, at least so far as re- gards his assertion that he "saw some- thing." It is easy to see something almost anywhere, and in Windsor castle there is a large number of people who may well have little elf%, . rs of their own which their duty as royal servitors pre- vents them from attending to except in ways as mysterious as possible. Be that as it may, Lieutenant Glyn courageous- ly, perhaps indiscreetly, declares: First, that he was sitting quietly in the castle library, improving his mind by a peru- sal of "The History of Dorsetshiro;" second, that, glancing up from this far from exciting volume, be saw a woman in black, with black lace on her head and falling to her shoulders, who passed noiselessly across the room and disap- peared in a corner that was out of his range of view. This is all there was to the appari- tion, and the lieutenant—wisely enough —would have thought nothing more of the episode bad not an attendant comp in soon after to close the library. Lien - tenant Glyn told the man that there was a lady in the inner room. The servant investigated. There was no lady. And the chief librarian, who was then sum- moned, immediately declared that the young man had seen the specter of Queen Elizabeth. Lieutenant Glyn was will- ing to let it go at that, and the story has deeply impressed everybody in Eng- land except a few cynics. The dean of Windsor took pains to get all the de- tails, "several members of the royal family" have interviewed the guards- man, and the papers have given much space to the occurrence. Meanwhile, doubtless, some young woman is bless- ing the superstitions tendency of her fellow countrymen, and it's not impos- sible that some young man is equally pleased at it.—New York Times. life.

After Mrs. Bryant died, in 1866, says Henry D. Sedgwick, Jr., in The Atlan- tic, Bryant betook himself for consola- tion to the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey," which he completely translated before December, 1871, at the ago of 77. There are few things more touching than this comfort tenderly given by man to man across the gap of 2,500 years. Nothing furnishes a more eloquent argument of the worth of poetry and of its profound humanity than this. The translation of Homer is a very personal matter and seems to stir some of those fires in the human breast that burn only in front of its own penatee. Pope's translation was a success, Cowper's was a success, so were Lord Derby's and Mr. Bryant's. Mr. Lang and his associates, also Pro- fessor Palmer, have made excellent translations. All these renderings are very differ- ent, one from another, and doubtless owo their respective successes to the variety among readers. There is one class of people which has never read the Greek, another that has read and forgotten, a third and small class which compares the translation and the original, and there are other persons still who con- demn all translations of Homer without readi them. Bryant's work is said to be faithful to the original, but the sto- ries of Ilium and of Odysseus feel some- what ill at ease is English blank versa The Greek spirit Is so different from our spirit, the Gaisak language is so un- like our language, time almost all trans- lators, and Bryant among them, must rest content with moderate praise. The Pathology of Chilblains. An eminent medical man is authority for the statement that chilblains aro of- ten caused by the condition of the blood, and that they are curable by proper treatment. He says that the blood is deficient in jlrose qualities that cause coagulation. Children aro much more subject to chilblains than grown persons from this cause. It is also said that a similar condition exists in people who are subject to serious nosebleed. Thoee who are subject to malaria aro found to have blood in a similar condi- tion. In fact, it is stated that it is pos- sible, even on the western coast of Af- rica, for patients, after severe attacks of malarial fever, to suffer from chil- blains. As to the treatment, it is neces- sary to increase the coagulability of the blood, and among other remedies recom- mended aro calcium chloride and care- ful abstaining from acids, alcohol or ex- oessive quantities of fluid of any sort Increasing the coagulability of the blood wrought a complete cure in all cases.— New York Ledger.

There is but one way for an author to get his wares before the editors, and that is to send his manuscript to the periodical to which he believes it to be best suited. If be deals with the prin- cipal publications, he can always feel certain of courteous treatment and hon- est dealings. Prioes vary and depend entirely on the value of the material to the periodical.

When the writer, urged to make a little epecch on t he oc- casion of Charlie's birthday, came to a full stop at the wogbi "I ani sire," Dickens at once came to his easistanoe and enabled him to retire from the plat- form, however ungracefully, with the xemark, among others, "Always be rare, my dear boy, and you'll got along all right." At the little theatrical entertainments Dickens was the alpha and the omega of the pr000edings. Ho was eomnetdmee author, adapter, condenser, musical di- rector, manager, prompter, and oven stage carpenter. Ho overflowed with energy. Dickens, doubtless remembering his own acute sensitiveness as a child, could not wittingly wound a child's feelings. He made fun with, not of, us.

Treatment of Pain. In discussing this subject Dr. Gold- scheider of Berlin thinks thatnarcotios, and especially morphine, should be avoided, particularly in chronic dis- eases. Bromides do not enflloe of them- selves to allay pain, but aro very useful when pain is duo to increased excita- bility of the nervous system ; the per- manent use of antineuralgic agents is to be avoided; the local application of cold for the relief of pain is often use- ful, especially in affections not deeply seated, and the value of tbo mode in allaying pain is not clear. Dr. Gold- echeider's opinion of counterirritants is that they are among the most use- ful means in dealing with pain not only in neurasthenical but likewise in genuine pain. The question of alter- ation in vascular supply is hypothet- ical, but venesection, cool or warm ap- plications and other hydrotherapeutio measures are certainly useful, and the effect may be in some measure duo to suggestion. In regard to massage and treatment by movement, he thinks that the value of passive and active motion is still much underestimated, and that in some cases of sciatica and painful joints after injuries there is no better treatment. Practloe In Diphtheria. The results of the practice of various Paris physicians with their diphtheritio patients have been made to appear in a published summary of much interest According to this, tannin, applied local- ly, seems to have been moderately suo- ceesful, while salicylio acid and alloy - late of soda are stated to have failed entirely. Carbolio camphor—that is, camphor 25, aloohol 1, carbolic acid 9 —applied either pure or with oil of al- monds, operated quite favorably. On- bebs and copaiba were administered to a alight extent, also tincture of eucalyp- tus, but not so ae to form a criterion. Chlorate of potash proved by far the meet encoeesfnl remedy, as it was oleo the most extensively administered. Its action is believed by some to be due in part to the oxygen with which it sup- plies the blood, and which, it ie as- sumed, the diphtherial bacteria have abstracted. Some other pbysiniana, how- ever, are of the opinion that the groes', should be attributed rather to its local effect& A Hypnotic For the Insane. An article which appeared some time ago in The Semaine-Modicale on this subject has been widely quoted. It seems that two Prussian physicians, M. Oldeogge and M. Jarman, made a series of careful experiments with the hydro- bromide of eoopolaminc and found that the drug possessed a true value as a hypnotic in the treatment of the insane. Administered hypodermically, in doses varying from 0.008 to 0.015 of a grain, they found that it induced in the ma- jority of subjects a sloop which lasted from time to ten hours, and on awaken- ing the patients appeared much calmer than before the administration of the substanoe. This effect was eepeoially pronounced in the oases of maniacs, but was not eo marked in those of acute lypemanla In chronic insanity the hyp- notic action was also manifeet to a de- gree. In delirium tremens, however, the tendency of the drug was only to weak- en the patient and there was no hypnot- ic' action whatever.

CLEAN PARIS KITCHENS. No Ashes or GariCook. There. ,Mn Iwotanr What becomes of the ashes and gar- bage in Paris was a question raised and partially answered by Clarence Cook in an address delivered lit the regular meet- ing of the League For Political Educa- tion on "Little Hogsekeepiug In Paris. " The Paris whisk/ Mr. Cook talked about was that of some 95 years ago, when the differenom in domestic life in that city and this were much greater than at present. Sine then New York has adopted the flat system in all its de- tails, but there were still differenoea, chief among which was the handling of garbage and Rabe,'. In the apartments which Mr. Cook occupied in Paris, and which he described as being delightful- ly situated, though "on the wrong side of the Seine," according to the ideas of a fashionable friend of his in the Amer- ican colony, there wore no ashosthat he oould see. The stove consisted of an iron top, with six circular hole,' in it. When- ever anything was to be cooked an iron basket of charcoal was put into ono of these holes, and the food placed over it. When the charcoal was burned, what was left fell through the basket and dis- appeared. In the way of food everything oame to the apartment fully prepared for cooking. In a mutton chop there was nothing but meat and bone, and when the meat had been eaten the bone was deposited of the eharooal fire. Potatoes were bought already pealed, carrots without their green tops and all green vegetables without any of the superflu- ous outer leaves or husks or akin', which would go to make rp garbage. All of this cleaning and pooling was done at the markets, and the resniting material was saved in a clean oondition. Even coffee grounds, Mr. Book said, were used after leaving the flat No one in Paris ever bought enough of anything to be left over, and no one was ashamed to ask the dealer for a sin- gle mutton chop or a small portion of any article of food. If there were any garbage or mhos in Paris, Mr. Cook said, no one ever saw either of them, which was certainly different from the experience of a New York woman be told of, who after a year's residence in the city wrote to a friend that life in the metropolis meant the taking care of an ash barrel.—New York Times. ATTAR OF ROBES. How This Dsllelons and Expensive Per- fume Is Blade. Tho ward "attar" is from the Arab "ttr," and means perfumes So attar of roses is simply perfume of roses. It is brought from Turkey and the East In- dies in email vials and is very costly. Even an the spot where it is manulfao- tured it is extremely dear, because it requires 100,000 well grown roses to yield but 180 grains of attar. Its high prioe causes it to be often adulterated with some essential or fixed oil or with spermaceti. However, the adulteration may be detected by Meting it in a watch glass with a drop of sul- phuric acid. If the attar bo pure it will remain oolorlem, for pure attar of roees is colorless, but if it be adulterated it will become darkened. In rosefields, where the roses are grown for the purpose of making the attar, the bushes are planted in rows. In the early morning they are laden with beautiful roses, but ere noon comes they aro all gathered and their petals distilled in clay stills, with twice their weight of water. Tbo water that "comes over" is put into perfectly clean vessels and is then carefully ooverod with damp mualin cloths to keep out duet and insects. It is afterward exposed to the night air or to artificial Dole. By morning a film of oil has collected on the top of the water, just as cream rises on milk. This film is swept off with a feather and very carefully transferred to a small vial Night after night this promos is repeated until all of the precious oil is separated from the water.—Philadelphia Times.

I was married in India, writes Phil Robinson, the author ate! traveler. I en- gaged for our honeymoon a little house —16 miles or so from any other habita- tion of white man—that stood on the steep white .cliff of the Nebndda river, which here Sows through a canyon of pure white marble. Close beside our bonne was a little but, where s holy man lived in charge of an adjoining shrine, earning money for himself and for the shrine by polishing little pieces of marble as mementos for visitors. It was a wonderful plaoe altogether, and while my wife went in to change her dress the servants laid breakfast un the veranda overlooking the river. At the first clatter of the plates there began to oomo down from the big tree that over- ahadowed the house, and up the trees that grew in the ravine behind it, from the house roof itself—from everywbere —a multitude of solemn monkeys. They name up singly and in couples and in families and took their plaoes without noise or fuse on the veranda and sat there, like an audience waiting for an entertainment to oommenoe. And when everything was ready, the breakfast all laid, the monkeys all seated, I went in to call my wife "Breakfast is ready, and they are all waiting," I said. "Who are waiting?" she asked in dis- may. "I thought we were going to be alone, and I was just Doming out in my dreseing gown." "Never mind," I said. "The people about here are not very fashionably dressed themselves. They wear pretty much the same things all the year round." And so my wife came out Imagine, than, her astonishment In the middle of the veranda stood her breakfast table, and all the rest of the epaoe, as well as the railings and the step', was covered with monkeys, as grave as possible and as motionless and silent as if they were stuffed. Only their eyes kept blinking and their little round ears kept twitch- ing. Laughing heartily—at which the monkeys only looked all the graver— my wife sat down. "Will they eat anything?" aaked she. "Try them," I said. So she picked up a biscuit and threw it among the oompany. And the result! About 830 monkeys jumped up in the air like one, and just for one instant there was a riot that defies description. The next instant every monkey was sit- ting in its place as solemn and serious as if it had never moved. Only their eyes winked and their ears twitched. My wife threw them ahother biscuit, and again the riot, and then another and another and another. But at length we had given all that we had to give and got up to go. Tho monkeys at once rose, every monkey on the veranda, and advancing gravely to the steps walked down them in a solemn prooession, old and young together, and dispersed for the day's oocupati ons. —St. Louis Globe - Democrat Mise Noah.

Am he was told that the name was to bo Noah he naturally referred to the infant as "he" in the oonreo of the service. Soon he felt his surplice pulled by one of the women, who whispered to him that "it was a 18s".But Noah is not a girl's name," said the parson. "Yes, it is," spoke up the child's fa- ther. An adjournment was made to the vestry to settle the point The father said that whenever he had a child to be named he opened the Bible and chose the first name of the proper sex that met his eye. The clergyman insisted that in the present owe a mistake had been made, whereupon the father opened the Bible at Numbers xxvi, 88, and read, "The names of the daughters of Zelophebad were Noah," eta There was no more to be said. Insect Conquerors. A reoent bulletin of the department of agriculture points out the fact that within the past 16 years there has been a complete change in the chief insect foe of the ootton plant Previous to'. 1881 the cotton wolrm was not only the principal, but almost the sole, insect depredator dreaded on the cotton planta- tions. Since that year the cotton worm has gradually disappeared,. and a new enemy to the cotton plant, the boll- worm, has taken its place. Such revo- lutions in the insect world not infre- quently oocar, and sometimes they take on the appearance of actual conquests effected by one specie. over others. In the Sandwich Ialande, ,dor inetanoe, a species of ant introdntied from abroad is driving out all other insects, the on native epodes that seems able to with- stand it being the earwig.

He wrote an excellent hand, and as one of the military aecre- tarios often overhauled the general's correspondence and prepared answers to bis private letters. This evening be was seated at the writing table in the gen- eral's tent, while his chief was stand- ing at a little distanoe outside talking with some of the staff. A citizen, who had come to City Point in the employ of the sanitary commission and who had been at Cairo when the general took command there in 1861, approach- ed the group and inquired; "Where is the old man's tent? I'd like to get a look at bine Haven't seen him for three years." Rawlins, to avoid being interrupted, said, "That's his tent," at the same time pointing to it. The man stepped over to the tent, looked in, and saw the swarthy features of Parker as he sat in the general's chair.

Rosemount. has the The whole state, and especially the unfortunates who are cared for in its insane asylums, must suffer from the consequences of the wretched fight over the location of the fourth hos- pital. Now that the local controversy has quited down, the people are be- ginning to figure the cost of the struggle between Ilastings and Anoka. The unhappy act of the commission, the scandal that followed it, the re- versal of the conclusion reached by both houses of the legislature, and especially the arguments used by the friends of Anoka, aro now bearing their legitimate fruit. At a time when it seemed certain that Ilastings would carry off the prize, every ad- vocate of Anoka was besieging the public ear with the cry that we needed no more provisions for the insane; that good management would make existing institutions ample for the purpose, and that an appropriation for a new building would be an un- warranted extravagance. These are the arguments that have now been turned, like captured guns, upon the forces that brought thein into the field; and they have been sufficient to secure the striking out of the gen- eral appropriation bill of all money for this purpose. In the meantime the public authorities are much ex- ercised over the problem of what is to bo done during the next two years, since the asylums are already over- crowded, and the patients are sleep- ing on the floors in some of them. The goi'ernor has urged, in a special message, some proper provision for larger accommodations, and there will undoubtedly be much difficulty ex- perienced before another legislature can act. But the probability is that the animosities stirred by the fight that has raged so fiercely will not subside sufficiently to win an appro- priation for Anoka, and that the state will have to meet the problem of caring for its insane with what can be done by the institutions already at work. -Red iI'ing Republican. One of the things that is very manifest in the closing days of this session is that of the two patriarchs of the house, .Jacobson and Staples; the former has lost and the latter has gained ground. There is no question of the sterling character of the two hien, for they would never have reached the positions of leadership which they occupy without distinct merit. The trouble with Jacobson this session has been that he has been too loquacious. Mien he was turned down on a recent occasion be is said to have repaired to the cloak room, looked reflectively in the glass and shaking his fist at his reflection, wrathfully exclaimed, "dere your pic- ture, Jake, you have been talking too much." Staples, on the other hand, has been remarkably tactful and adroit during the present session. Ile has had a good uuany important matters on his hands, and has realized that he could not win by always opposing everybody in everything. Not that he has in any way surren- dered his personal in(lependence or winked at any form of corruption. On the contrary he has stood firm as a rock in all matters of principle. There are many who expect to see Mr. Staples a candidate for higher honors later on, and, whatever may be his political fortunes,* he can afford to hazard the die on the strength of his reputation in this and the last two preceding, legislatures - St. Parti Dispatch.

Clough, governor of Anoka, seems to be pulling hard for Anoka these days and letting the balance of the state go begging. Is it because the said town swore to go pepocrat another election year if they did not get the hospital, or has Clough an interest in some land and lots near the town, or is he looking for a posi- tion as head former when the business is started? We sometimes think one and sometimes another. Froin the way he has acted in the hospital mat- ter he would make a better farmer than a governor.-(nkafo Enterprise.

The special message of Gov. Clough, asking the legislature to appropriate money for the building of an insane asylum at Anoka, was as impudent a request as any legislature ever re- ceived. His gall is right hand, and he is at not the least afraid to use it. At this late day he can not deceive the people by attempting to make them believe he is interested in the welfare of the unfortunate insane -- not much. It is other interests, or lie would have signed the bill that locat- ed the buildings at IIastings.-Le Sueur News. Notice.

Ile was the leading republi- can and business man of Le Sueur County, and had many friends throughout the northwest. :\ wife and family of grown up children mourn the loss of a kind husband anti father. Minnesota Journalism. E. F. Joubert, of The Wheaton Gazette, has been appointed post- master of that village. C. L. Luce has sold his interest in The Albert Lea Enterprise to his partner. )l. Halvorsen, who assumes possession next week. The state auditor rented the Anoka swamp lands on Tuesday for two years at $930.

One hundred and twenty-five young men and women will graduate at the state university in June, the largest class ever turned out from that insti- tution. Miss _Adelaide )1. Thompson. of Hastings, is among the number. Gov. Clough has vetoed the bill legislating Gen. C. C. Andrews out of office as fire warden, the state re- taining a very unnecessary otlice as a part of the gubernatorial patronage. Patrick Gill, a former resident of Rosemount. hung himself at St. Paul on Tuesday in a tit of melancholia. Ile was aged sixty-eight, and leaves a wife. Two hanks in Winona have consoli- dated under the name of the Mer- chants' Bank. the German American going out of existence. Fred Richter, one of the hest known citizens of St. Paul, died last week of cancer, aged fifty-nine years. Seventy-five married men have been discharged from the Soldiers' Home for want of accommodations. It is too bad that the members of the legislature should have failed to visit the Anaka insane hospital site since the snow went off. Gov. Clough should have issued his special mes- sage earlier. Then the solons could have visited the site and determined just the style of house boat best adapted to that locality. Perhaps they could have have arranged for the purchase of a few old steamboats and barges at a bargain. Anything that will float ought to satisfy the friends of Anoka at this stage of the game, provided they get it safely anchored before the next legislature gets a whack at that site.-b't, Paul Dis- patch. Gov. Dave Clough has got plenty of nerve, and it's a pity he don't know how to properly use it. After being 'sustained" in his veto of the Hastings hospital bill by slightly more than one-third majority, he ask- ed the legislature for an appropriation of at least $100,000 for a building on the Anoka sand and mud pile. But he didn't get it. -Chatfield .)errs. J. H. Block, of St. Peter, was in town to -day. So was Alvah East- man, who visited the capitol in com- pany with Harris Richardson and stirred up all sorts of speculations as to foxy deals on the fourth hospital.

From Minnesota to Mexico, V1ts' Sunday is the gala day in Mexico. Everybody was on the streets from morning to night, the hucksters did a profitable business, and a hack unless previously engaged was simply out of the question. They are allow- ed to charge fifty per cent additional over week day prices, $1 or $1.50 per flour for the red or blue flag. A majority of the party readily adapted themselves to circumstances, and probably by another week most of us would have been entitled to our second papers as fully fledged citizens. There was little change noticed in the street cars other than a conven- ient office at the Zoealo instead of the former flagman's box. English is now spoken there, and information promptly and politely furnished upon application. We heard some talk of electricity in place of mule power, but with coal at $1S per ton the lat- ter is unquestionably more profitable if not quite as serviceable. The lack of fuel for manufacturing purposes is a great drawback to the country every- where. A number of nesv buildings were going up, as nearly modern as the climate permits, and the cement side- walks on the principal streets are a commendable improvement over the rough paving stones. They are about as wide as those upon Washington Street in Boston, necessitating a con- tinual stepping off with the slightest approach to a crowd. The decimal currency has become au established fact, the silver coins representing ten and five centavos having taken the place of the Spanish reals and medios, and the copper two and three centavos seemingly gone out of existence. This is much easier in the calculation of prices. A transient visitor can live as well and cheaply in Mexico as in any other great city, provided he is able and willing to conform himself to the situation. There are plenty of good hotels and restaurants, and, while the service is not first class according to our northern notions, one has no great difficulty in securing his money's worth after a little experience. The rate made at the Hotel Jardin at sixty cents per meal would hardly be duplicated in any town of equal popu- lation. There is a first class daily news- paper printed in English, The Two Republics, which kindly tendered its office as headquarters, and where all mail matter for the association was received and distributed. The man- agers are deserving of unlimited credit for the courtesy. As a bureau of information it was of incalculable benefit. The party is also indebted to Mr. G. B. Isman, of The Mexican Trader, who devoted four days ex- clusively in its interests, and to whose indefatigable efforts our principal trips were enjoyed. He is a hustler without question. President Diaz is taking a deep in- terest in school matters and the edu- cation of the rising generation. Noticing a group of carriages decked with yellow, the national color, we were informed that they carried the executive and his cabinet out to one of their educational institutions to deliver the diplomas. The condition of the peons, the rank and file of the masses, will hardly be changed for years to come. They need no shelter and no clothes other than to corer themselves, can raise a family without house or home, eat, live, and sleep upon the highways, and, with the present price of labor, the cheap food, and the slight in- ducements to work aside from a mere existence, little can be expected as an improvement in their general status. It is a problem which can only be solved by time and the most judicious management. I. T. 7 '�HfSTORICALz A S TI NGSCirlAZETTIA Gov.

STORIES OF THE EARLY LIFE OF THE MARTYRED PRESIDENT. Philip Clark of Mattoon Told Some Things About Abe That Other Histo- rians Overlooked - Additional Teeth. molly to the Big Heart of Lincoln. Tho late Philip Clark of Mattoon, Ills., was a lifelong friend of Abraham Lincoln. A short time before his death Uncle Philip said in conversation with a correspondent of the Chicago Times - Herald: "I do not believe the tailor ever lived Avho was skillful enough to make clothes to tit Lincoln. Ho was tho roughest and most irregular man in outline I ever saw. But no child was afraid of him, and no lvomau would declare him to be ugly. Yet any description of his appear- ance you would write dowu would war- rant the conclusion that he was any- thing but good looking. Why, I must tell you, the very skin of the man did not tit, for it appeared to be loose on his features, and I knew him from youth to age. After the Black Hawk war Lincoln was seized with politi- cal aspirations, but failed to get tho coveted position of representative. Ile met with au obstacle in my friend Peter Cartwright, a good man, whom I also knew as well as a brother in those dreary days. After 1832 I saw Lincoln quite often in Springfield, where ho then lived. I had met with some reverses, and after compounding mediciues, the nature of which I had learned from the Indians, which medi- cines were sold by Drs. Robinson and Shields, I took my money and went in- to partnership with the merchants Gar- rett and Douglas, and we bought hogs and fattened them on the mast and what corn we could buy in the fields. "The crop was poor that year, and we bought a great deal of ground at $3 per acre and needed the service of a man to measure the ground. I did this part of Ow business and bit upon Abe Lincoln as that man. Ho bad a sort of survey- ing outfit. I hired Lincoln to do this work for us and gave him tho rather re- markable wages of $1 a day for his serv- ices. Abe -I always called him by his name -thanked me gratefully for this because he knew and I knew we could have got the work done for 50 cents a day. But I was a friend of Abe, and my fortunes had t>4rned for the bright- er. So Lincoln remained in our service a few days as a sort of accountant for us. "We turned our hogs in the fields, driving them in droves to the same. When weighing time came, Abe assist- ed us again. I can sec him now stand- ing by the old steelyards. They are near- ly all gone now. We would tie the hog's legs together and swing him np, and then Abe would sing out the weight, - aka a pair cf scissors and cut a bench of bristles off the neck to show the ani- mal had been weighed. Hogs in those days bad longer bristles than the breeds of today, and the clipping could be seen by any drover. On one of these days he weighed 900 hogs for ns. "Lincoln was a friend of temperance also. We were together one night in a country neighborhood when some one proposed that we all go to the church close by to hear the Rev. John Berry preach a sermon on temperance. After listening attentively Abe remarked to me that that subject would some time be one of the greatest in this country. "Lincoln loved debate and could tell au anecdote with great effect. In one of his early races for congress I heard him debate with Peter Cartwright, who was the terror of every local orator, as his opponent. He asked Cartwright if Gen- eral Jackson did right in the removal - I believe it was -of the bank deposits. Cartwright evaded the question and gave a very indefinite answer. Lincoln remarked that Cartwright reminded him of a hunter ho once knew who rec- ognized the fact that in summer the deer were red and in the winter gray, and at one season, therefore, a deer might resemble a calf. The hunter had brought down one at long range, when it was bard to see the difference, and boasting of his own marksmanship had said, `I shot at it so as to hit it if it was a deer and miss it if a calf.' This convulsed the audience and carried them with Lincoln. "Gratitude was a religion with him. Lincoln was a poor financier. He was not a manager and seldom had any mon- ey ahead. When he came to Springfield from Salem, he had been boarding for a year with a man named Nelson Ally at $1.50 per week and was in debt to him $70. Misfortune overtook Ally long aft- er that, and he became an inmate of the Knox county poorhouse. Lincoln went in person and had him taken from the county house and given another home. He then asked Judge Davis to sec that Ally should be cared for in case he (Lin- coln) should die first. I heard this con- tract between Lincoln and Davis. Ally survived Lincoln two years. I knew him well. "The last time I saw Lincoln was in September, 1863. I went to Washington to settle some business in regard to a largo tract of swamp lands I owned, and while at my hotel I mot Ward Le- mon, whom I knew well. He told me that he knew Mr. Lincoln would be very glad to see me and insisted on my calling the next day, which I accord- ingly did, and that occasion I will nev- er forget. I was ushered into the room where he was conversing with a num- ber of generals in great glitter and show of uniform. Ho cordially received me and introduced me to a number of these gentlemen and related to them a part of our early flatboating experience& Dur- ing this conversation you could hear a pin fall, such close attention did they all give ns, which was to my embar- rassment at the time. I never saw him again until I gazed upon bis remains after the awful tragedy of his assassina- tion." The white carnation is regarded in England as an emblem of disdain. This idea was probably suggested by the up- right habit of the flower, which nods end waves haughtily in the breeze. ANCIENT STRUCTURES. Something Ahead the Architecture of Early New England. Hardly 20 houses in all New Eng- land dating back of 1700 are yet in ex- istence, unless in a materially trans- formed condition. At best the most of them were very rough, box shaped, with a door in one side and a high pitched roof, to make the snow slide off easily, and a chimney of prodigious size. A few years ago the great ohimney of the house at Bosoawen, where General John A. Dix was born, was torn down and found to contain 150,000 of brick. The chimney of the Darling house in this town, destroyed about the same time, was about as large. Its removal provided the house with a good sized additional room. Almost all the seven- teenth century houses were wooden, though about the oldest structure in New England was built of stone at Guilford, Conn., in or near 1688. Exe- ter's oldest, the Darling house, is about 10 or 11 years younger. Exeter had on- ly three brick houses dating far back into the eighteenth century, and now has only two, if they still can be called brick after being covered with wood and receiving large wooden extension& These are the Peavy house, on the New- market road, and the old house off Wa- ter street built by Nathaniel Ladd. Both were erected between 1720 and 1730, the Peavy house, of which James Gilman was the builder, replacing an older structure which had been burned. The very picturesque Dennett Gilman house, a brink structure with gambrel roof, which stood about where the Amos Tuck house now stands, was torn down about 60 years ago. The block near the great bridge is of nineteenth century origin, having been built by Major Sim- eon Folsom about 1818. Dwelling house architecture first be- came a really fine art in New England during the flush times which intervened between Wolfe's capture of Quebec in 1759 and the Revolutionary outbreak of 1775. It waft then that the older of the stately mansions of Portsmouth and Newburyport were erected. Tho war pretty effectively stopped hoose build- ing, but by 1800 prosperity had returned, and New England shipowners became very rich. The house building mania broke out again in the form of those great, square, three story houses of which Exeter has a few and of which Salem, Newburyport and Portsmouth are full. The magnates of 1800-10 disliked gambrel roofs and had no patience with nooks and rassages. They were plain, downright and utilitarian men, and they built houses as square as them- selves, with no nonsense about them, except perhaps the usually superfluous third story. Were these worthies to re- turn to earth they might appreciate the many modern improvements which have been introduced in architecture, but they would be -pretty sere to repu- diate with scorn the adornments for which poor Queen Anne has been held responsible. - Exeter (N. H.) News Letter. Evolution of Gunpowder. The invention of gunpowder is shown by Mr. Oscar'Gnttmann, in his book on the manufacture of explosives, to have been most probably an evolution. The Greek fire of naphtha, mentioned by early European and Arabian writers, is believed to have been a composition containing niter, sulphur and charcoal. Marcus Graecns, who wrote in the tenth century, gives a composition for charg- ing rockets and crackers closely ap- proaching that of modern blasting pow- der. This recipe is quoted by Albertus Magnus, and another one, not so clear, is given by Roger Bacon. None of these writers, however, speaks of the use of such substances in any way like the fir- ing of projectiles from guns. On the contrary, they all describe crackers and bombs or maroons, and say that these were discha"ged into towns from bal- listat or catapults or mangonels for the purpose of setting fire to them. Mr. Guttman bas found, however, in the wardrobe accounts of King Edward III of Englt nd an entry between A. D. 1345 and 1849 giving credit to one Thomas of Roldeston for the king's work for his guns, for 912 pounds of saltpeter and 888 pounds of live sulphur. This seems to confirm the tradition that guns were used by the English at the battle of Crecy in 1346. Mr. Guttman decides that Berthold Schwartz invented this nso of gunpowder about 1318. If so, Schwartz must have been very young at the time or else have lived to a very great ago, for the date of his death is given as 1384. -Popular Science Month- ly. A St:. Louis Experiment. The advanced or advancing women of St. Louis are to have a billiard room of their own, with the incidental accom- paniments of a bowling alley, a place in which to read the papers and a mys- terious something or somethings rather vaguely described as "other features." All this is to bo provided as a strictly business venture by a man who has hitherto sought only the patronage of masculine players of the scientific game, and to his new establishment he pro- poses to admit any woman, whether alone or accompanied by h husband, brother or sweetheart. Nothing is said about friends or mere acquaintances, but it is probable that they, too, will be allowed to eater when properly intro- duced and professing 'an inclination to assnmo in proper time one or the other of the nearer and dearer relationships. The experiment has as yet been tried in only one place -Vienna. There it is said to have worked well, and St. Louie is watching with interest to see what the developments will be on American soil. -St. Louis Correspondence. Preserving It. Miss Mand Powell, the violinist, had a somewhat unusual experience with her precious violin. She sent it by ex- press solidly packed in a stout wooden box, but when she came to claim it it was missing. She described the appear- ance of the box to the official, and a sad and sympathetic look came over his face. Ho sighed and went away, and presently returned with the box held cofflnwise. "We had it on the ice," he said. -Springfield Republican. Strawberries are often served with orange juices. Cover the berries with sugar and juice of several oranges.

General Horace Porter, in "Cam- paigning With Grant," in The Century. says concerning General Grant's secre- tiveness: After the general had got some miles out on the march from Cold Harbor an officer of rank joined him, and as they rode along began to explain a, plan which he had aketohed, providing for the construction of another line of in- trenohmenta route distance ip rear of the lines then held by us, to be used in case the army should at any time want to fall back and move toward the James and should bo attacked while with- drawiug. The general kept en smoking his cigar, listened to the proposition for a time and then quietly remarked to the astonished oflioer, "The army has al- ready pulled out from the enemy's front and is now on its march to the Jame&" This is mentioned as au instance of how well his secrets could be kept. Ho had never been a secretive man until the positions of responsibility in which he was placed compelled him to be chary in giving expression to his opinions and purpose& He then learned the force of the philosopher's maxim that "the un- spoken word is a sword in the scabbard, while the spoken word is a sword in the hand of one's enemy." In the field there were constant visitors to the Damp, ready to circulate carelessly any inti- mations of the commander's movements, at the risk of having such valuable in- formation reach the enemy. Any en- couraging expression given to an appli- cant for favors was apt to be tortured into a promise, and the general natural- ly became guarded in his interoour.'ee. When questioned beyond the bounds of propriety, his lips closed like a vise, and the obtruding party was left to sup- ply all the subsequent oonversation. These circumstances proclaimed him a man who studied to be unoommunica- tive and gave him a reputation for re- serve which could not fairly be attrib- utedto him. Hewascalledthe"Amer- ican Sphinx," "Ulysses the Silent" and the "Great Unspeakable," and was pop- ularly supposed to move about with sealed lips. It is true that he had no "small talk" introduced merely for the sake of talking, and many a one will recollect the embarrassment of a first encounter with him resulting from this fact. But while, like Shakespeare's sol- dier, he never wore ilia dagger in his mouth, yet in talking to a email circle of friends upon matters to which he had given special consideration his conver- tion was so thoughtful, philosophical and original tbat he fascinated all who listened to him. • WHENWECRITICISE FRIENDS The Kindness of Ignoring Trivial Mis- takes irtakes In Onr Daily Life. "There are two kinds of mistakes, mistakes of moment and trivial mise takes," writes Edward W. Bok in The Ladies' Home Journal. "Undoubtedly the best service which one friend can render another is to save him from a mistake liable to be serious in its re- sults. In such an act lies true friend- ship. But in these days of criticism, when we are apt to criticise everything and everybody, we are all too apt to correct mistakes which are absolutely trivial and not worth correcting. And yet in calling attention to them we of- ten hart the feelings of our best friends. Not one of us, even the most good na- tured, likes to have hies mistakes point- ed out. We may appear not to mind cor- rections and accept them with a smile, but it is human nature to smart under correction, although some of ns may be clever enough to conceal the smart; hence the fewer mistakes we call atten- tion to in others the better. "Two-thirds of the mistakes we make are trivial. Their correction is unim- portant. Why then notice them? Yet some people do, and do so constantly. A person speaks of having done a certain thing on Thursday, when in reality it was done on Wednesday. If no impor- tant point is involved why call atten- tion to the mistake? Millet good does it do to have the exact day set right? It is a matter of no importance, so why in- sist upon correcting the trivial error? Stanch friendships have often been pricked by this needle of useless corree. tion. It is a great 'art -this art of learn- ing to allow others to be mistaken when the mistake is unimportant. Few learn it, but those who do are among the most comfortable friends one can have. " The Fur Seal as an Animal. Mr. David Starr Jordan, president of the Bering sea commission for 1896, and George Archibald Clark, secretary to the commission, say in The Forum: The male fur seal, or "beaohmaeter," reaches full maturity at the age of 7 years. At that time his weight is about 400 to 600 pounds, being considerably heavier when flrst in from the sea in the spring or after feeding in the fall than in the intervening period, when he fasts on land and grows gradually lean and weak. The males vary consid- erably in color, the general shade being black or dark brown, with longer hair or bristles of yellowish white. These are especially long and numerous on the thickened back of the neck, forming the so called "wig." Tho wigged males have a rough, coarse coat, and their skins are without market value. The animal makes its home on the rocky shores of the islands in large, closely massed bands, forming what are called "rookeries." It is ex- tremely gregarious, individuals seldom venturing far from the main body wt-; le on land. though wandering about singly in the sea. His Failing. An English rector in an agricultural parish found his own sermons accepta- ble enough to his congregation, but not so those of his assistant "Why don't you come to hear Mr. Jones?" he said to the loading farmer. "He's an excellent follow and preaches far better than I do." "That may be, sir," was the grave rejoinder, "but we've been inquiring and inquiring about your curate, and we can't find as he's got any property, and we don't like to to told of our sins by a person as hasn't got no property." -Strand Magazine.

Natural Phar &omens Which to the Va- traveled,'!'pght Appear Incredible. In his), address se president of the British Institution of Electrical Engi- neers $ir Ilenry Mance said it was in connection with the cable to India, by way'of tbo Persian gulf, that his moo- oiation with tie submarine telegraph connnenced. In the Persian gulf ono oo- casion:l! ly witnessed natural phenomena which, to the untraveled. might appear incredible. In the midst of the moun- tains near Mnaaendom he had seen during a thunderstorm such displays of light- ning as baffled description. !le had, at certain seasons of the year, observed the water in the bay -which waslarge enough to hold all the fleets of the world -present exactly the appearance of blood. Not mnuy miles from Mnssen- dom be had witnessed myaterions fire circles flitting over the surface of the sea at a speed of 100 miles an hour, a phenomenon which no one had yet been able to explain. While steaming along the coast of Baluchistan ho had been called from his cabin at night to observe the more common phenomenon of a milky sea, the water for miles around being sin- gularly white and luminous. In the same locality the sea was, for abort pe- riods, as if putrid, the fish being de- stroyed in myriads, so that to prevent a pestilence measures had to be taken to bury those cast up on the beach. This phenomenon was doubtless due to the outbreak of a submarine volcano and the liberation of snlphureted hydrogen. In these waters joilyfih were as largo as footballs, and sea snakes of brilliant bac were met with in great numbers. On one occasion a swarm of sea snakes forced their way up one of the creeks in Karachi harbor, apparently for the purpose of having a battle royal, for the ground between high and low water mark was thickly covered with their bodies in positions which betokened a deadly struggle. -Boston Transcript, FOOD THAT MAN NEEDS, A Wise Combination Neoesaary to Keep the Body In Order. "As in the daily wear and tear of life a great deal of the substance of a man's body is used up, it is absolutely necessary that the repair to the body be carefully and systematically looked aft- er," writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer in The Ladies' Homo Journal. "Then, too, man must create heat and force, accord- ing to the climate in which ho lives and the occupation he follows.

The principal products aro peanut oil for cooking and table purposes and confec- tioners' use, peanut cribblo for confec- tionery, peanut grits for soap, etc., pea- nut floor for baking and peanut bran for stock feed. The oil is highly valued iu Europe, and it is stated that fully $5,000,000 worth of peanuts are brought into Marseilles annually for the manu- facture of oil, which is used in toilet soaps and for other purposes. The pea- nut flour is quite extensively used in Europe and is made into bread, cakes, biscuit, eto. It is Duo of the favorite ar- ticles of food in the hospitals of Ger- many. The estimated product of five tons of peanuts amounts to 285 gallons of refined oil, at $1 per gallon; 175 gal- lons of cru 3e oil, at 50 cents; 8,680 pounds of flour and meal, at 2 oenta per pound; 8,800 pounds of stock feed, at 60 cents per hundred pounds, making $415.90 in all.

Orchard Cultivation. An orchard well managed may be made to pay several times as much for the land occupied and the labor spent as the best field on the farm. But it will be a poor investment if it is neglected and suffered to go to ruin. Cultivation is indispensable to enable the soil to contribute its fertility to the trees. The surface must not be lett untouched, to become oovered with rank weeds or moss, to lie bare and barren. There is nothing better than a crop of clover, and this ehonld be permitted to die down and decay on the surface A plow should never be suffered in au orchard.

The Novelist's lint Interview With the Great Pool. In The Century there is an article by Walter Vulpine, entitled "Tbackeray at Weimar." The following isTbaokeray's account of his first meeting with Goethe: Of course I remember very well the perturbation of spirit with which as a lad of 19 I received the long expected invitation that tho Herr Gohoimer'ath would see me. This notable audience took plaoo in a little antechamber of his private apartments, covered all round with antique casts and bas-relief& Ho was habited ill a long gray drab red- ingote, with a white neckcloth and a red ribbon in his buttonbole. He kept his hands behind bis back, just ea in Rauch'& statuette. HL complexion was very bright, clear and rosy, his eyes ex- traordinarily dark. piercing and bnl- liant. • • • I fancied Goethe must have been still more handsome as an old man than even in the days of his youth. His voice was very rich and sweet Ho ask- ed mo questions abort myself, which I answered as best I could.

[Alma von Goethe died at the age of 17 years while on a visit in Vienna in 1844.1 Though his ran was setting, the sly round about was calm and bright, and that little Weimar was illumined by it In every ono of those kind salons the talk was still of art and letters. At the oourt the conversation was exceedingly friend- ly, simple and polished.

In the respect paid by this court to the patriarch of letters there was something ennobling, I think, alike to the subject and sovereign, AN OCEAN VOYAGE. The Proper Fees to Py or Board an Atlantic X3nor. Fees are too indefinite to be regulated by rule, but certain amounts aro cus- tomary at sea. The voyager, if he is not seasick, is dependent for comfort first on the table steward. To this man it seems to be the rale to give $2.60 for one, or $5 for two or three persona in party, whether one is served in regular oonrses or orders what he pleases from the bill. bate sappers might increase the fee. One's next best friend is the deck steward, if ho is attentive and has fol- lowed out suggestions about the steam- er chair and rags. Sometimes ono can eat on deck when itis fatal to go below, and then, if the deck steward is oblig- ing, he deserves the larger part of what would go to the table steward in reg- ular course. If the weather is at all fair, it is most agreeable to find one's chair well placed and the rugs dry ev- ery morning, especially if ono is in- clined to seasickness. Moreover, this steward is the one who continuously brings sandwiches and broth on deck, and, as he is obliged himself to fee the cook's assistant to get allege articles pre- pared, it is clear that fie should be well remembered at parting, if any one is. On many lines hie pay, like that of moat of the stewards, is not higher than $12 a month, and the company, on gen- eral principles, keeps back ono -third to pay for breakage. Another third goes to the cooks in foes. Where, therefore, would he be without tips? -Lewis Mor- rie Iddinge in Scribner's. The Sootehwomaas Bake Notes. A poor old widow living in the Soot- tiah highlands was called upon one day by a gentleman who had heard that also was in need. The old lady complained of her oondition and remarked that her eon was in Australia and doing well "But does he do nothing to help yon?" inquired the visitor. "No,nothing," was the reply. "He writes mo regularly onoe a month, but only sends mo a lit- tle picture with his letter. " Tbo gentle- man asked to see one of the pictures that abs bad received and found each one of them to be a 4raft for £10. That is the condition of many of God's children. Ho has given us many "exceeding great and precious prom- ises" which we either are ignorant of or fail to appropriate. Many of them seem to be pretty piotures of an ideal peace and rest, but are not appropriated as practical helps in daily life. And not ono of these promises is more neglected than the assuranoo of salvation. An open Bible places them within reach of all, and we may appropriate the bless- ing which such a knowledge brings. - Dwight L Moody in Ladies' Home Journal. A Lively Roman Sande.

The holders, ales, I often forgot to employ, sending my knife and fork out on my plate, to the maid's con- fusion and my own dismay. An English woman, long resident in Brussels, in- vited me to dinner with the cheering assurance: "We aro Engliah, not Bel- gian, in our ways. We change tbo knives and forks."

"Tomorrow on the Paris?" cried Car- ter, dropping his cane on the pavement with a resounding thud. "Yes, tomorrow," said I, gazing with astonishment on my friend, for my commonplace gossip had apparently perturbed him !greatly. "Tho whole family aro going to sail, and they will be away for a year. It's very sudden." "Sudden! I should say so!" he ex- claimed. He looked thoughtfully up ,the avenue for a moment, then stammered, "Miss Margaret too?" "Yes." Thereupon he hailed a passing cab, and before I could get another word with him dived into the vehicle and quickly disappeared with it. Carter is not a bad fellow. He is ex- oeedingly modest. This is a most unus- ual characteristic for a young man who is sq,ending a fortune gathered by an- other's talents, but to so great a degree does he possess it that it seemed to him impossible that Margaret Walcott should look upon him with other than indiffer- ence or even repugnance. "Why, Vandergust," he said to mo one Sunday afternoon, when he had dropped in on his way to her house, "it's ridiculous to suppose that a bright girl like that could care for a fellow like me—a fellow who doesn't know anything, who has not a striking point except money—when there aro so many men with brains about." But, acting on my advice, he actually started to propose that very afternoon. "Miss Walcott," he began as they sat by the fireplace in the drawing room talking commonplaces, "I'm in love." "Really! How interesting!" cried the girl, calmly leaning toward him and gazing at him, awaiting the rest of his revelations. There was a long silence, during which Carter carefully drew bis left glove on his right hand. Having recov- ered his courage, he continued naively: "I know who it's with. Do yon know who it's with?" "Yourself," she cried, clapping her hands as though she had made a won- derful discovery. "Oh, dear, no! Never!" he stammer- ed. "Positively not. You really don't think so, do yon?" "I was just guessing," sho replied soothingly. "Guess again," said he quickly. "With Livia Vandergust," ventured Miss Walcott after she bad given the matter doe consideration, gazing medi- tatively into the fire, thus unconsciously showing to Carter the fine profile of her face, which glowed in the red light of the gals. "Don't accuse me of it," cried my friend in a deprecating tone that was moat uncomplimentary to my charming cousin. "Guess somebody nearer home. " And the foolish fellow kept her guess- ing the name of every girl in town but the right one until the maid brought in Derby's card. Was it a wonder that, knowing these facts, I smiled when I saw Carter dash away in a cab after I had imparted to him the news? It was sufficient to send him up the steps of the Walcott house in three bounds when his cab drew up there. Miss Walcott was out. "At teas?" he ventured to inquire of the maid. "Yes." Here arose a predicament. Ho knew of no less than five that afternoon. But ho had heard that she was to be at the Trnmptons' dinner that night, and his sole chance of seeing her lay in find- ing her that very afternoon or following her over Europe. So he started in at Mrs. J. Anderson Oglesby's and most perfunctorily paid his respects to that energetic woman and her extremely plain daughter. Than ho searched every corner of the crowded drawing rooms and even took a surrep- titious glance into the butler's pantry. "Isn't that Miss Walcott yonder?" ho said to the young girl who was pouring tea, indicating a mase of black hair that was conspicnons in the crush. "Why, no," she cried, gazing at him in astonishment. "Sha has light hair. And, besides, she left hours ago. I should think"— The rest of the remark was lost on my friend, who dashed from the room and the house and was off in his Dab once more. He searched in vain for her at the Partridges', the Joneses' and the Van Blunders' and at length reached tbo house, of my aunt, who was on that aft- ernoon performing the arduous physical labor of introducing her daughter to so- clety. Great, indeed, was my oonein's astonishment when Bennington Carter was announced, for she knew that ho abhorred teas. But greater still was her amazement when ho let fall the hand sho held out to him, turned soddenly, craned his neck so as to see over the knot of women :about the door and dashed madly from the room. Carter had seen her at last, but it was only a glimpse as the door closed upon her. Ho rushed up the stairs to the dressing room and bounded dowu again to his Dab. "Which way did Miss Waloott's cat` nage go?" hi Dried to themanwhooall- ed his oouveyanoe for him. "Up Fifth avenue, sir," replied that astonished man. "After itl" exclaimed Carter, jump- ing in and slamming the door. The bewildered John swung his vehi- cle around the corner and dashed up the avenue, crowded with oarriagee. Eight blocks, however, told on the beast, and the driver found it expedient to draw rap at the curb and hold a colloquy with his fare. "So yon have loot it, eh?" Dried Car- ter angrily. "Yea, sir," replied the cabby. He tipped his bat most reepeotfully in the hope of mollifying the angry man. Carter threw himself moodily back in the seat and for a time was silent. It was already dark. The pavement was filled with people hurrying home after the day's work. He had visited every place where be could have hoped to find her, yet lost her. Of a sudden ho leaned through the window and to the cabby said, "Do you see any awnings about here?" Tho man pierced the gloom with his eyes and at length pointedted meaningly with bis whip down a aide street to a residence in front of which a score of oarriages were gathered and an awning stretched from curb to onrb. "At it!" cried the fare. Carter quickly ascended the steps of the strange house, boldly passed the servants in the hall, left his ooat and hat tip stairs and returned to the draw- ing room. "Carter, Carter, Carter?" muttered the overdressed but kindly looking woman who greeted him there, tapping him on tho arm with her fan and giv- ing him a hearty shake of the band. "I'm delighted to see yon, Mr. Carter." "It was awfully kind of you to come," said the slender young girl at her side as he formally greeted her. And when he passed on she whispered to her moth- er: 'I'm 'sure I didn't send him cards. Why, it's Bennington Carter!" My friend forced his way through a crowd of people he did not know and mattered imprecations on himself for wasting precious time at such a place. She would never be bore. He would slip out at once. What! Could he believe his eyes? Yonder she sat in a cozy corner of the dining room, a tall young man bending over her. "Why, Mr. Carter!" eae cried as he rushed breathlessly up to her. "How in the world did you happen to come here?" he exclaimed. "S-sh I" The young man moved away, and she whispered apologetically: "Close business friends of my father's. But pray what brought you here?" "I followed you." "Shadowed me! That was very polite of you." "But I wanted you to guess some more," he stammered. "Oh!" The girl binehed deeply and fixed her eyes on the carpet "Be quick," he said. "Ethel Van Blunder," said she in a scarcely audible voioe. She half arose from her chair. Carter glanced behind him and saw Denby pushing his way through the crush about the tea table. "Oh, hurry!" he blurted out. "You must guess before yon sail, or I'll never be hap"— "I've guessed," she said demurely. "I'm very glad to eee you, Mr. Denby." "I've followed you all over town," exclaimed Denby, totally oblivious of the preeenoe of his despised rival. "But at last"— "I'm eo sorry," she said, moving to- ward the drawing room. "I'm so late now that really I must be going. But, Mr. Carter, I really forgot. Let me re- mind you that we expect yon to dinner at 7. Yon can tell me all about it then. "—New York Sun. Culture Alone Not Sufficient. In our days culture has been proposed as a substitute for religion and poetry offered as a better guide for our lives than the loving word of God. "Moro and more," says Matthew Arnold, mankind will discover that we have to turn to poetry to interpret life for ns, to console ne, to sustain us. Without poetry our science will appear inoom- pleto, and most of what now passes with us for religion and philosophy will be replaced by poetry " But it were as well to offer moonlight instead of warm sunlight, for poetry and culture are largely a reflection of religion, and his- tory shows us that they cannot long survive its absence. Men of a vaguely speculative bent and a more than ordi- nary ,bare of refinement, like Matthew Arnold or Emerson, may here and there be found, who think they And in culture all that they need to direct and purify their lives. lEsthetio movements and Brook Farm experiments may, when they are successful, beget an elevating influence for a time, but in the end onitere, left to itself, will become the culture of Nero and Petronius Arbiter and society that of Herculaneum and Pompeii:—American Quarterly Re- view. Education In the South. Tho Rev. Dr. Mayo has declared that "the 18 southern states are today paying as much for the public schools as the British parliament votes every year for the public school system of the British islands—between $20,000,000 and $80,000,000." And he adds that since tho war the south has expended "$250,000,000 of its own money for education—$75,000,000 of it for the children of the colored people. "—New York Tribune.

Well, good morning."—Chicago Tribune, Naval Nomenclature, Our naval nomenclature bas never been very happy. It was not until 40 years ago, when we launched the last and tbe finest of the wooden walls, that we bad a systematic nomenclature. The line of battle ships were still to be named for states, only we did not build any. But the naming of frigates for rivers and of first class corveta for cities and of eeoond class corveta—really gunboats—for Indian tribes was at least an intelligible system of claaeifica- tion if not an inspiring method of recall- ing patriotic glories. This is what the legal system came to, although in fact second rates could be named after either rivers or towns. Now those who go down to sea in battleships recall in the names of their vessels the maritime glories of Indiana and Iowa, or, if they go down in cruis- ers, may rejoice in the names of Ameri- can towns, "though inland far they be," like Minneapolis and Chicago Only in tbe "steamships of the third class," which are to be named "as the president may direct," can our naval glories be echoed by the commemoration of our naval berms. And the steamships of the third class in the new navy seem to be confined to the torpedo boats. Henoe it has happened that when a de- sire to do honor to Farragut made itself felt in the department there was no better mode of appoaaing it than to name a torpedo boat after the hero of New Orleans and Mobile bay.—Harper's Weekly. The Sun's Temperature. Estimates of the sane temperature have ranged from 18,000,000 degrees down to 8,000 degrees F. At the Mos- cow observatory Professor Ceraeld has repeated the old experiment of measur- ing the heat of direct sunlight at the focus of a mirror, the mirror in this case being very accurately made and having a focal length of about 89 inches. The result was 8,500 degrees C. (6,800 degrees F.), showing only that the solar temperature is greater than this. A measurement of the heat reflected from an aro lamp was then made, the tem- perature in the focus of the mirror prey- bag rowing to be only 100 degrees to 105 de- grees C., although the aro itself was known to have a temperature of very nearly 8,800 degrees. From this it is argued that the temperature of the sun must be very much more than 8,500 de- grees, while it is believed that this method may lead to an accurate esti- mate. They Take Pudding. A girl has been collecting statistics as to what people eat and drink when at a lunch counter or a soda fountain. "Men poke fun at women and girls," she said, "became we can't get enough chocolate in things. They say that we take chocolate soda and chocolate cake, chocolate eclairs, ob000late ioe and char elate bonbons. I admit to the truth. But their own preferences are just as odd.

There Is en Art In the Managing of Them. Tho most effootivo cleansing sub- stance for the oontainers and wick ap• paratue consists of ordinary wood ash. Thie has a peculiar effect upon petro- leum, crystal and other oils of the same kind. Rub the ashes well all over the parte that require cleaning and polish or wipe it off with a clean, eott cloth. This is a very simple method and obvi- ates the neo of water, which may prove a serious difficulty, especially if the op- erator is not very particular as regards the drying process. This treatment should not, however, entirely do away with a periodical boiling of the differ- ent parte of the lamp with strong soda, but tbo regular use of wood aah should mako the washing a last resotu-oo and an altogether rare neiceeaity. The strictest cleanliness in every de- tail concerning lamps ie of the greatest importance not only to insure a good light free from smell, but also as a pre- ventive against danger. Odd bite of wick allowed to oolloct anywhere near the flame, for inatanoe, are objection- able from every point of view. Lamps that are but rarely used should not be left with the wick to become sat - prated through oontact with the oil. Tho best plan le to empty the container, clean it as above, dry the wink if it is new, and put it aaido in a box, into which duet cannot penetrate, till it is wanted again. For these days, when candles are so much need, it is well to know that there is an art in choosing them. They should burn brightly, steadily, and without flickering, yet at the same time twin- dle away as slowly as posiblo. The can- dle that gutters is to be avoided as ex- travagant and worthless. The best of all are those which are partially hol- lowed out, so that if the flame is ex- posed to a draft the molted wax rune down the inside. A thin, close wick will always burn better than a thick one. One of the cleverest oontrivanoes adapted to candles is s metal automatic extingnishcr. It Dan be fined to any re- quired depth of the candle, say one inch, more or less, and as soon aa that quan- tity has burned away two metal rings olose over tbo flame and effectually put it out Something of the kind has al- ready been Been, but the newer patent is much more practical, from the vary fact that it can be fixed to any part of the candle instead of being plaoed in the candle holder, for in the latter case it could not act until the illuminant had quite burned down, when the extin- guisher was obviously of doubtful util- ity. —San Francisco Chronicle.

Cats, which have an intense disl,.ke of wet, swim well, carrying the head high. Their distaste for aquatics does not extend to the larger cats. Tigers are fond of bathing, swim fast, and, in the case of the "river tigers" of the Sundier- bn.nds and the tigers near tbo coast; of the straits of Malacca aro constantly noticed in the water. Whether the trained Egyptian cats which were need to take waterfowl in the reed beds by the Nile ever swam when stalking them does not appear from the ancient pictures.

Delaware was the fat state admitted to the Unica and is the one to which Randolph of Roanoke referred con- temptuously as baying two oonnties at high tide and three at low tide. It is still governed by antiquated colonial machinery. The senate of its legislature consists of nine members only. Dela- ware is one of the states which has no lieutenant governor, and therefore from out of these nine members ono is chosen a, presiding officer, and the other eight are the lawmaking body. The state is divided into three counties—New Castle, which inoludes the city of Wilmington; Kent, which includes the capital city of Dover, and Sussex, the rustic south- ern county. New Castle has several thousand more voters than Kent and Sussex combined, but the basis of representation in the Dover senate is the same for all three— three members from each county, and on any public question, therefore, in the senate, a minority of the people can by a two-thirds majority outvote the ma- jority. The city of Wilmington oasts about one-third of the total vote of the state, but it has only one representative in the senate. The house of representa- tives consists of 21 members chosen without reference to population, 7 from emit county. —San Francisco Ar- gonaut, The Baby sad the Burglars.

Bryant and Wordsworth. Bryant's poems inevitably bring Wordsworth to our mind,, yet it seems unfair to Bryant's talents to measure their increase comparison with the fruited Wordsworth's genius. Bryant's lot took him to tbo oity, to newspapers and daily cares, while Wordsworth saun- tered contemplative over Helvellyn and along the margin of Windermere. Groat poetry has never been written by a man who was not able to give to it his oon- centrated thought and his whole heart Chaucer, Shakespeare, Spenser, Pope, Wordsworth, Shelley, Byron, all the great poets of England, have given undi- vided allegianoe to poetry. Bryant could not do so, and his poems bear the marks of his involuntary disloyalty.—Henry D. Sedgwick in Atlantic.

With all his seclusion and stoicism. Thoreau was less impersonal than Em- erson—nay, his very retirement and his paucity of friends made him cling the more firmly to the few he bad. Emer- son's range was wider; his horizon was more ample, but he did not attach him, self so closely to those things and thoughts in which ho took an interest; Henoe we find more form in the thought of Emerson, more color in that of Thos reap, and, so far as literary style is oou4 oerned, the page of Thoreau often excels that of Emerson. Both are epigram: matin. But the epigrams of Thoreau are the more keen and searching if not sci elegant. Emerson dealt more with prin- ciples, Thoreau with facts. He bad the homely wisdom of Socrates, while bbl: eraon rejoiced in the lofty sweep of Plato. In their learning, which was great—! as Americans reckon the scope of learn-° ing—Thorean was the more exact, Em- erson the more comprehensive and sug- gestive. Both were masters of English, but in Emerson was more mannerism, In Thoreau more rhetorical art in his best pages, more simplicity in his or- dinary writing. Both will endure as authors and will continue to attr'aotl and to instruct by their deep, cheerful wisdom and their high moral purpose. —F. B. Sanborn in Forum. Unpublished Letter of Nelms.

Seeley. insurance inspector of this district. is iu the cite making a thorough examination of various insurance risks. alld we believe that it ntunbtr of reduc- tions in rates will follow.-Stillreater (ia_ette. If you have au experience similar to ours the increased rates will out- number the reductions by a consider- able majority. The thorough exam- ination is usually for the purpose of ascertaining, how much more the owners of the property will probably stand. 1). C. Lightbourn, deputy insurance commissioner, has been discharged after years of faithful service to make room for B. 11. Timberlake, a young insurance roan from Minneapolis. There are no civil service regulations to embarrass the Clough administra- tion. but The _ida Index will be the gainer by the change. If the board of education in St. Paul would compensate its teachers in proportion to salaries in other lines of business there would be no defi- ciency or talk of retrenchment and closing of schools. The taxpayers of the saintly city are paying dearly for the extravagance iu this direction. Diplomas were issued to nine new lawyers by the state board of exam- iners on Tuesday, out of a class of twenty. C. S. Lowell. of this city, was among the lucky candidates, and is receiving., well deserved congratula- tions. Mrs. C. W. Eichorn and Miss Lydia Boettcher. sisters living in St. Paul Park. were burned to death on Satur- day by the explosion of an oil stove. The house and contents were consumed. G. E. Ovale. of Willmar, has been appointed as the second judge in the twelfth district, a selection which fails to give entire satisfaction to those who are immediately concerned. The law changing the time of hold- ing the district school elections from the third Saturday of July to the third Saturday of June does not take effect until next year. The petit jurors drawn for the May term of the 1-nited States court at Duluth have been notified not to at- tend, there being no money to pay them. J. P. A1 -est. deputy public examiner, has been stirring up the sheriff's office in Hennepin County with a sharp stick. As Memorial Day falls upon Sun- day this year, Gov. Clough recom- mends that the 29tlt be observed instead. Gov. Clough has appointed J. B. Tarbox, of Monticello, as judge of the new eighteenth district. A son of ex -Gov. W. R. Merriam has been appointed assistant paymas- ter in the navy. The general laws are issued this week in supplement form. In an editorial under the caption of A Miraculous Escape, the editor of The Anoka Herald hurls anathemas at the legislature just closed that is entirely beneath the dignity of re- spectable journalism. It calls the majority "Disgraced and dishonored, in a drunken delirium which would not allow the members to even agree to divide the spoils whirl) a less dis- solute gang of thieves might have stolen from the state." While it is no doubt true that the legislature did many things they ought not to have done, and left many duties un- performed, yet when the final account has been rendered it will line up fa- vorably with its predecessors in the quality of the work performed. But what troubles Bro. Caswell is a mat- ter of sour grapes. Anoka didn't get that little $400,000 appropriation that she asked for at the beginning of the session, or any other sum for the builJling of the fourth hospital for the insane at that place. -Renville Star Farmer. Now that the fourth asylum site has been rented for the sum of $930, why wouldn't it be a good idea to keep it rented a little longer so as to get the purchase price hack, then give the land to some one for a sand pit and buy the site of Hastings, or sand for building purposes might be taken from Anoka to Hastings as they have everything else necessary for a building there.-Cokato Enter- prise. Hastings is to have a sugar factory. In this way she hopes to retrieve the loss of sugar which the hospital fight cost. -Princeton Union. Langdon Items. Arthur Morley was up from Hast- ings Sunday.

Walter Cumming will give an en- tertainment in the Langdon Hall, Saturday evening, May 1 5th, with one of 1' (lison's phonographs. This will be something you have not heard before and it will be grand; admission twenty-five cents. George Woodward and his little brother Arthur were in a critical con- dition Thursday afternoon. The driving teain ran away, with the lines caught in the ring on the back pad so that they were rendered useless. The team ran three miles before they were stopped.

A return game will be played at Lakeville next Sunday. Mr. Frank Knoblauch, of Douglas, and Miss Amelia Hoffman were mar- ried at the South Branch Church on Tuesday. A reception was held at the residence of the bride's lather, Mr. George Hoffman. It is a question what a village passes an ordinance for? Whether it is intended to be enforced, or just to see how it will look printed in the local paper. Hampton officers, both village and township, have some queer ways of doing business. Pt.

Day, a bachelor about fifty years old, was found back of his residence Saturday afternoon with the whole top of his head blown off, and his brains scattered around. There was a forty-four calibre Win- chester rifle between his legs, and a stick, evidently used to discharge the rifle, lying at his side. A meeting of the citizens was immediately called at Mr. Day's residence Saturday even- ing. By request of those present justice of the peace C. 11. Storrers appointed a committee to investigate the case. The committee first made a thorough examination of the body. In bis pants pocket they found a pocket knife and a purse containing $4.50 in silver. Close to his feet was found the impress of the but end of a gun stock, into which the stock of the gun found between his legs fitted, and the unanimous conclusion reached was that he had stood the guo on the ground, leaned his fore- head on the muzzle and pushed the trigger with the stick, the discharge tearing the whole top of his head off. The house was then examined, anti evidence found which settled the matter beyond any doubt, in the fol- lowing letter, lying on the table: "EAST Sot -Nn, April 22d. "I believe 1 have disgraced the earth long enough, and itis time for me to go. I ask the people of Orcas to forgive me for ever coming among them. They are good people, and I wish 1 had been worthy of their friendship. 1 wish 1 could look back on a well -spent life. but it has been a•failllre. I wish Mr.. Rebb would take charge of the keys on the window. One belongs to the cabin, the other to- Mr. Tiffany's house. Bury nie in the most Convenient place. and 1 don't deserve any ceremonies. 1 have a brother, A. A. Day, living at Blaine, Wash., and another, B. A. Day, living in Hastings, Minn. "Goodbye, and may Gel in his great mercy have mercy on my soul, and for- give all m}tpast sins. and forgive me for taking this course. "I wish Mrs. Barns would feed the pour old cat until the kittens come around and then they can all be killed. I don't like to have theta starve. Goodbye. -O. W. DAY." It is said that Mr. Day had been brooding for some time over some trouble he was having in connection with money owing to him in the east. He had been receiving it in monthly installments up to about four months ago, when it stopped, and this had evidently deranged him somewhat, as his language in the beginning of his letter would indicate an aberration of the mind, inasmuch as he has been a very correct living man, of fine moral character. Ile had a kindly, generous nature, was a good citizen, held in the highest esteem by all who knew him, and his death in such a manner was a shock to his many friends here. His relatives have been notified, but as he had evidently been dead about two days when found, he was buried in the cemetery, the funeral services at the Episcopal Church and at the grave being con- ducted by the Rev. W. J. Dickson in a very impressive manner. The funeral was largely attended, and the coffin was beautifully decorated with flowers. Besides the relatives mentioned in his letter, he has a sister and niece living in Seattle, Mrs. W. P. Stanley and Mrs. F. A. Twichell.-East Soured cor. Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 7th alt. Then there is the Hon. C. F. Sta- ples, of Dakota County. I conceived a violent dislike for him two years ago, but I misjudged the man. He is of a somewhat domineering dispo- sition, but he is a thoroughly con- scientious gentleinan and a useful legislator, as able as he is honest. - Princeton Union. Real Estate Transfers. A. W.

TENNESSEE EAGLES. A NATURAL MOUNTAIN HOME FOR THE BIRD OF FREEDOM. There He Is Hatched In Gnat Numbers and Sometimes Lives 100 Vern—Mating and the Treatment of the Young—How They Are Captured. There are many eagles in the Tennes- see mountains, and there are mountain- eers who are expert catchers of the young eaglets, who reap rich rewards in return for their perilous risks and ad- ventures. Eagles make their eyries among the clefts and crags of the high- est mountains of the state. They are found on the Stone mountain, the great Roane, 8,296 feet high; the Bald, 6,660 feet; the Great Smoky range, 8,888 feet; the Bullhead, 8,012 feet; on the Unaka, the Big Stone and others, none of them less than 5,000 feet above the level of the country at their feet Young eagles bring from $40 to $80, occasionally $100. Eagles that are of some age and al a great size (such are rarely captured, however) bring as high as $800 and $500. Eagles which have to be killed while trying to capture them are valuable to taxiderm , who al- ways find an easy market for a great stuffed eagle. Their feathers, especially the wing and tail feathers, are sold for good uea The eagle builds its nest upon the top of a mighty tree growing far up on the mountain among the myriad of twining vines, or in the thickest and almost in- accessible growth of bushes and shrubs, or on the summit of a high rock. An eagle's nest is a large one always, and is strongly and comfortably built. Large sticks and branches are laid together, nearly flat, and bound with twining vines. The spacious inside is Covered with hair and mosses s0 minutely woven together that no wind oan enter. The mother bird lays two eggs, which are curiosities. The long end tapers down to a point. The oolor of the egg is s ground of brownish red, with many dots and spots upon it. The egg itself is proof of the wild and savage parentage. An eagle lives from 80 to leo years. The young birds are driven forth by their savage parents to scratch for them- selves as soon as they are able to fly. No training is given them by the old bird. That is left to their wild instincts, which hunger and necessity develop. There is no going "back to the old home" for the young eagle. The mother bird tears np ever vestige of the nest where they have thriven since birth, and while they emit plaintive shrieks the old bird darta at them and pushes them off the Drags or rooks, and to prevent falling they must take to their wings, and this is how they learn to fly. It takes three years for a young eagle to gain its full and complete plumage and strength. Away np in the mountains the eagle finds it as hard to gain subsistence as do the grumblers of the plain. The preoari - oneness of its exietenoe and the wild manner in which food is gathered seem to give the bird ferocity as it grows older. They range among the mountains and valleys in pairs, their young never following, bet doing the best they can. The stern, nnliooial tyranny, beginning with the homeless and outcast eaglet, 18 continued in later years with their mates. If the male bird be the stronger, the most of the prey belongs to him, and he allows the female to eat a paltry share between fierce thrusts of his beak at her. 11 the female is the stronger (and she generally i8), the male bird cowers and winces under many a fierce blow from his unfeeling wife, no matter how small the morsel he gets. But when danger threatens, no human pair can battle so fiercely for each other as can two eagles. The breeding season begins about March, and each male has but one mate during his entire life. If the female ie killed or captured, the surviving male becomes an eagle hermit and fiercer than ever. They are often aeen near their neeta together, and when the sun is shining take their majestic flights straight to- ward that great ball of fire until they disappear from sight Sitting upon the mountain side, their vision is so keen that they oan see, far down the valley, a sheep or young goat, a big turkey or rooster, a small pig, rabbit, or large bird, and almost in the twinkling of an eye they descend enddenly upon their victim. One mighty grasp and a twist of their talons and the victim is dead, long before the eagle lays it down for a repast. An eagle can live two and three days, and even five days, upon a gorg- ing meal They prey upon all sorts of large birds, flab, lambs, kids and goats. Oftentimes, when a large calf or goat is to be attacked and Carried off, four or six of them will unite and carry off the the carcass, when they will immediate- ly begin to fight it out to see which of them is entitled to the choicest bits, and it is truly a survival of the fittest in such combats as these. Eagles are oaptured by expert moun- taineers, who spy upon the parent bird building her nest and wait for the breeding season. After a due time they scale the mountains, and, well armed for the inevitable fight with the parent birds, go to these mountain eyries. Of- tentimes four men are required to let one of them down a steep precipice or cliff, while two of them, dead shots with the rifle, shoot and kill the old birds upon their first approach, for it fares ill with the daring robber who at- tempts to secure the yontig birds with none to protect but himself. In this way are many of the old birds killed for the taxidcrmfsta or for feathers, while the .eag!ete are borne sway and caged for a good sale.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Thera aro many curious industries in this big city, and one that ranks pre- eminent in the peculiar line is a glass eye factory. It may seem strange that there should be a sufficient demand for glass oyes to support such a factory, es- pecially as it employs a number of skilled workmen all the year round. But when one learns some of the secrets of the trade all cause for wonder van- ishes. The prime reason for its existenoe is that a glass eye does not last more than a year, and very often not more than six months. Of course this necessitates the purchase of new optics every little while by afflicted people, and the num- ber of people who use these eyes is sur- prisingly large, judged by the yearly production of the factory. Five hundred eyes are turned out weekly, or about 26,000 in the year. Not all of these are sold, but this per- centage is very small. The unsold ones are stock eyes—that is, they are used in the sale department of the factory or are sent to dealers throughout the oonn- try as sampler The prices of glass eyes vary consid- erably. Au ordinary ready made eye costs $o, while a made to order eye, with the pupil and cornea carefully col- ored, costs anywhere from $10 to $80, and occasioually as much as $60, but this latter price is a rare one. Poor peo- ple can only afford the ready made eye, and a large number of these are always kept in stock in different shades of blue, gray and brown. Gray eyes are the most common, then comes blue, and then brown. Black eyes are a myth, and the factory has never had a call to make one. Oph- thalmic hospitals are the largest con- sumers of the false eye. These buy in quantities, and naturally get the prod- uct at reduced rates. They buy the or- dinary, ready made eyes, as they are nsecl, for the most part, on poor people who are financially unable to be fastid- ious in the matter of exact color. The most startling feature of the fac- tory is the cabinet in which the stock eyes are kept. They are placed in large trays, sectioned off into tin squares, each square containing an eye. Blue eyes of many shapes and shades are in one tray, brown eyes of all kinds in an- other and gray eyes of many varieties in a third. When a purchaser comes in, he or she is fitted with an eye from one of these trays, and if the buyer is content with the ready made article a duplicate is furnished from the stock. If the made to order article is wanted, the sample is sent np to the workrooms with instructions covering the minor changes or improvements that can be made. • All of the regular customers have sample eyes in the factory. This en- ables them to send from a distance for a duplicate, and a new eye, perfectly fitting and of the correct color, is ship- ped to them. The reason that the eye wears out is that the action of the tear—which is acid—affects the enamel, roughing the edges and surface and causing an irri- tation of the eyelids. There has never been a time in the history of the world that artificial eyes did not exist. The ancient Egyptians, 4,000 and 5,000 years ago, wore false eyes of gold and silver, and later of cop- per and ivory. It is on reoord that two patriotic Lntetians, when their country was in finanoial distress, generously presented their golden eyes to the pub- lic treasury. Daring the middle agee porcelain superseded metal in the mak- ing of artificial eyes, and a century ago the glass eye arrived. Now enamel is considered to be the best material for the work, and it is used to the exclu- sion of all others. The process of making the eyes is easily described, but the work calls for much delicate and painstaking labor on the part of seven or eight skilled work- men. Formerly one man made an arti- ficial eye from the crude to the finished state, but now the work is divided into a number of specialties, each man per- forming only a fraction of the whole task. In its initial stage the eye is a long, slender stick of enamel, made of per- fectly transparent and fusible flint glass. This is placed in a crucible and exposed to great heat. The globe maker plaoea the enamel over a blowpipe supplied with wind, which is pumped by engine power into a large cylinder and stored under water pressure. Under the care- ful manipulation of the workman the enamel tube is formed into an oblong globe, just the size and shape of the human eye. Next it passes into thecoloringoom A pieoe of colored enamel is plated on the summit of the globe, and this is gently heated in a small flame and con- tinuously rotated. Gradually this takes the form of the iris, and then a spot of darker enamel is added to represent the Inil. Then this is covered by a thick yer of crystal to form the cornea. At this stage the eye is detaohed from the blowpipe and cooled, and then sent to the nutting room, from which it emerges shaped into a small hollow oval with irregular edges. The cutting is a difficult process, as a hair's breadth deviation in size will make a material difference in the fitting. The edges are fired and the eye allowed to cool slow- ly, this being the annealing or temper- ing process, which toughens the enam- el and renders it less liable to break. The final work is the polishing, and then it is ready for the owner. The coloring work is the most deli- cate of all, se sometimes eight and nine colors are worked in to give the oorrect .hada,—New York Cor.

Was Finally Used—A Mystery the Ord Soldier Didn't Try to Explain. As the reporter was rapidly hurrying past the door of a saloon ho was met by an old soldier, who snggeatively tipped his hat. "If yon will tell me a story," re- marked the reporter, accepting the tip, "I'll pay for the potations. I have a thirst for a story; you have a thirst for a drink. Let us exchange." The veteran was quick to respond, as the parched soil responds to tho grateful rain, and, opening the door, he bowed the reporter in and escorted him to a ta- ble in a quiet corner, where presently the potables were served. "I don't think I could have earned what I am now so greatly and grate- fully enjoying, " said the veteran, with a glowing cheek, as he set down his glass, after a long swallow, "had it not been that today I met an old comrade from Kentucky, a state, yon will re- member, which had soldiers in both armies, and good soldiers, I may add. This man, who is now a merchant and Domes to New York to buy goods every year, was in the Federal army, and be had a nephew in the same regiment with himself and another in the Confed- erate army. The young chaps were brothers, and they were mighty fond of each other, but they were fonder of their principles or patriotism or politics, or whatever you may call it, so they agreed to disagree, and each one go to the side he thought was the right side. "It was a sad parting, for they had been oloeer together than most brothers, and before they separated they fixed up a kind of signal to identify themselves by, so that if one was wounded and left on the field he could notify the other if it happened they were on the opposite sides in that particular fight It was a boyish kind of a lottery chance of one in a million, but it spited them, and that's all they cared for. The signal ar- rangement was to be a light chain with a note fastened to it, and the whole thing was to be fastened to the bullet and dropped into the old muskets they had in those days. This was to be fired at random up into the air to fall among the soldiers of the opposite side to be picked np as it might and taken to the man whose address was in the note, along with other instructions to be fol- lowed out by the brother who might be in condition to do it. Yon can see how ohildish and almost impossible it was, but there was just that chance in it that made it attractive to the boys, and they told each other goodby and went their ways, the one to the north, the other to the south, each bearing with him his chain and note of identification attached to the bit of lead that some day might bear on its wings the message of death. " The veteran was becoming poetic and pathetio, and the reporter suggested a refilling of the glasses, and the 'fuggea- tion met with immediate and pleased approval "For the first two years," continued the veteran, "the boys hadn't any occa- sion to use their signals, for they bad gone through unscathed, and, besides, they were serving in sections of the country widely separated, but in 1888, in the fall, they were with the armies fighting through Tennessee, though they had lost track of each other exoept in a general way. "Just what they knew of each other's whereabouts I don't know, but one night in November there was a skirmish some- where in the neighborhood of Knoxville, in which 500 or 600 men on a side wore engaged, without result, and both sides had settled down for the night to wait and fight it out by daylight. There were a lot of wounded men, and dead ones, too, for that matter, scattered through the woods, where most of the fighting had been. There was a cornfield about a quarter of a mile wide separat- ing the woods, and there had been some scrapping in this open ground, though most of the fighting had been done from cover, as these small akirmish line fights generally are. "Iwas corporal of the guard that night, and by 8 o'clock there was only an occasional shot, as if each side was quitting reluctantly and by inches. 1 am not positive, but it seems to me that I heard the last two shots before still- ness eettledAover all What the details of the romance, or the tragedy, or what- ever yon want to call it, are I don't know. I know, though, that daring the night we had re -enforcements, and when we began to captiously peep around, as soon as the day began to break, we dis- covered that the enemy had by some hook or crook taken alarm and departed in the night, leaving their dead on the field, and among them, when we sent out our burying party, we found one of those boys with a bullet through his lung and another, bearing a chain and a note, buried in his brain, Ou our side we found the other nepbew with both legs broken by a ball and a bullet through his heart, with a chain and note attaohed to it." Tho reporter threw up his hands in amazement, not to say doubt "I don't try to explain it, " the veter- an hastened to say apologetically. "I know it is hard to explain. It is even hard to believe, but what is a man to do or to say when he sees finch things with his own eyes?"—New York Sun.

Carried we /BHooey Duck Tar Up Lata the An erore Seeing His M1a0s s. reputation for veracity among my ellow sportsmen has been seriously impaired, if not entirely destroyed, by any insisting upon the truth of the fol- lowing experience that befell me one Thanksgiving day: My boy of 16 and myeelf wore indulgingin a few days' outing at a little clubouse on the Po- tomac. a abort distance) below old Gan - se= Hall. Tho weather was fine—in fact, too fine for our purposes, as we were after dunks. Early in the morning we put out, off the old historic Hallow- ing point, dear to many duck hunters, about 40 now wooden decoys, as hand- some as I ever saw, and then took our positions in the blind, full of those feel- ings of exhilaration and expectantly which all true sportsmen are bond to feel in soma degree, even when all fa- vorable oon0itions for sport are dead against then. After a few hours' waiting in came a bird, which my boy knooked down pret- tily and with muoh enthusiasm re- trieved, but which proved to his dis- gust to bo nothiifg but an old merganser, or sawbill, known in these parts as a "fisherman," a bird, I need hardly add, of large size and of beautiful plumage, but absolutely unfit for the table. The incident over, we waited and waited, with no resnita, until finally, leaving the decoys in position, we went back to the clubhouse, prepared and ate a lunohcou and then took a stroll back into the woods and fields on a tour of inspection, when, finding our heavy clothes rather oppressive ander the sun's rays, we oonoluded to return to the blind, where we were sure to find it more comfortable because of the light breeze that was coming over the water. On arriving at the blind we noticed that one of the decoys was positioned some 25 or 80 yards from the others. 14 first thought was that it was adrift, and I was about putting out in the skiff to recover it when I notioed that it did not change its position, although the tide was running quite brlakly. Could it have floated off and become again caught? Could it have dragged its an- chor that long distance while the others remained undisturbed? These and other theories were being discuased by us when suddenly over our heeds from be - bind there passed a dark shadow, which on our looking up proved to be made by a large eagle, and as we gazed upon him he sailed out over the straggler de- coy about which we had been solicitors, poised himself for an instant and then settled down suddenly, and with out- stretched talons grasped the poor, help- less wooden thing and rose with it un til the leaden anchor showed at the sur- face of the water, when for some rea- son, perhaps because of the discovery of his mistake or because of the suddeu and unexpected increase in the weight of his burden, this king of birds dropped his quarry into the water with a eplaaii and .wattled across the river as though to keep a suddenly remembered appoint- ment.—Washington Letter in Forest and Stream.

In 1859 The Atlantic Monthly passed into the hands of Ticknor & Fields, the junior publisher becoming finally its editor. It was a change of muoh impor- tance to all its contributors and greatly affected my own literary life. Lowell bad been, of course, an appreciative and a sympathetic editor, yet Fields had the advantage over Lowell of being both editor and publisher, so thpt he had a free hand as to paying for articles, The prices then paid were lower than now, but were rased steadily, and he first in- troduced the practice of paying for each manuscript on acceptance. He bad a virtue which I have never known in any other editor or publisher—that of volunteering to advance money on pro- spective articles, yet to be written, and he did this more than onoo to me. I have also known him to increase the amount paid on finding that an author particularly needed the money, especial- ly if it were the case of a woman. His sympathy with struggling women was always very great, and I think he was the only one in the early Atlantio oirale, except Whittier and myself—with Em- erson also, latterly—who favored wom- an suffrage. With all his desire to create a staff Fields was always eagerly looking out for new talent and was ever prompt to oonneel and encourage. He liked, of oonrse, to know eminent men, and his geese were apt to bo swans, yet he was able to discriminate. He organized Dick- ens' readings, for instance, and went to very one of them, yet confessed frank- ly that their pathos was a failure; that Little Nell was unreal, and Paul Dom - bey a tiresome creature whose death was a relief. Fields was really a keen judge of character and had his own fearless standards. I once asked him which he liked tbo better personally, Thackeray or Dickens, and he :replied, after a moment's reflection, "Dickens, because Thackeray enjoyed telling ques- tionable stories, a thing which Diolkens never did.

Ars Draws by a Issy am The molt casual glance at the col- umns ad the newspapers betrays the fact that nervous complaints, as re- cently asserted by the medical profea- aion. are greatly on the tnorease. Oom- pariaon will demonstrate that we Amer - loans are hemming. 1f we are not al- ready, the most highly strung and nerv- ous people in the world. But nervousness, as expressed by ra- sions well meaning oltisens, steams to bo a certain resentment against poise. I am considering the point from the van- tage pr disadvantage of a lgyrnan. Is mere noise the (rause ce simply the evi- dence of nervousness? That's what I want to know. To be oleerer, l' mere noise the creator of nervonaness, or is the universal complaint of these noises merely the evidenoo of growing nerv- onsness? Most of the errors of reason- ing, I believe, are from the confusion of cause and effect. When a letter carrier eaddenly and unexpectedly ghees his thin, shrill whis- tle up a vibrant hallway and muses me to start, it is early and natural to say he makes me nervous. And when an ele- vated train, brakes doem approaches a station, canning every wheel to scream and shriek, it "seta my teeth on edge," and the charge is instantly fled against the railroad oompany of creating nerv- one disorders. Whereas, the facts are I was nervous aleeady, and the letter oar - rises thrill whistle only demonstrated 11, and if I had not been a sufferer from narvoaulnoee the elevated noises would simply have had no effect upon my mind whatever. And if I sat down and wrote to the newspap firs oom against all these maflifold noises I should only advertise my nervous oon- dition to the whole oommnnity. I am award that I shall ran counter to the popular theory when I assert that noises have nothing whatever to do with nervouanost. Tho nervous par- son will jump higher and quicker when silently approached from the rear, being unexpectedly confronted silently in the dark, being soddenly touched by some one till that moment unseen or unheard. or even prove more nervous Hader con- ditions of absolute silence. It oan be easily demcnstsated that a man who can sleep like a babe on the line of the elevated road will be awakened at the crow of chickens in the country, and yet bo unable to sleep at no sounds at all.

They ooanted 19 boars in the day and 19 in the night, measuring the day by the progress of the Dna and the night by the progress of the stars across the sky.

Gray equirrels aro winter neighbors, but very aby one&. I have tried to coax them to come into the yard for walnuts by leaving out a supply under the trees there and gathering all from other trees, but they were too well eupplied with nets in the wood. I did named in gain- ing their oonfldenoe through a pair of tame squirrels that had been raised in a cage by a neighbor. I induced the neighbor to set them free, and, apparent- ly to reward me, they took np their abode in the tall oottonwoods and pop- lars about the lawn, but more likely be- cause the neighbor bad no largo trees. While they remained an occasional wild squirrel would call or spend the day in the groat trees with my tame ones. But the villainous pot hunter and his worth- less cur destroyed my pets and drove the visitors back to their wild state. The gray squirrel is not as provident as the little ground squirrel, who toils through the long days of summer and fall to provide himself a home and lay up a store for winter nee. What little the gray squirrel does lay by for a rainy day is not stored in his den, but scatter- ed here and there abort the woods, like the prudent housewife afraid to put all the eggs in one basket. I learned from my tame squirrels their method of hiding nets. The nut is carried in the mouth, and some time and thought aro given to the selection of a likely plaoe to hide it. When the spot is finally decided upon, a holo the ✓ ise of the nut is dug in the ground, the not thrust in and pnahed down hard with the nose, a little earth premed and patted down, and leaves or grass towed about in the most natural way. After a snowfall their tracks will be found in every direction, from the den trees to all parte of the wood. Following these trails, one will find many little holes in the snow where hidden nuts have been dug up.—J. 11. Kennedy in Har - per's Magazine.

In many plaoes in warm climates it is customary to keep fish alive until they are sold. It would otherwise be impossible to keep them from spoiling, except by too expensive refrigerating. The marketman is likely to be the fish- erman himself and to keep his catch in a well on his boat or in a slatted box in the water. The buyer looks over the Ash and pick" out the one he wants, and the seller then kill' the fish with a blow on the head with a club or with a knife. It is a common thing to kill the fish in the preeenoe of the customer. Fish are sold in this way at, for in- stanoe, Key West, Havana and Genoa. —New York Sun. A Pair of Shoes.

GAAY AND Sr - I bad a love. Dark haired w.es rho. Her eyes were gray. For sake of her across the sea I sailed away. Death, sickness, tempest and defeat All passed me by. With years came fortune, fair and fleet, And rich was I. Again for me the sun looked down Familiar skies. I found my love. Her locks had grown Gray as her eyes. "Alas," she sighed, "forget me, now No longer fair:" "I loved thy heart," I whispered tow, "And not thy hair." —C. E. D. Phelps in New York Tribunee, THE BROKEN KEY. The young and pretty bride felt wor- ried and out of sorts. Only a short eight weeks ago she married her dear Cies, and had followed him to his home in W., and already he had begun to neglect her, to go out of an evening and to leave her alone in the big home. He had tried to convince her that he could not alto- gether neglect his former friends and companions and that she ought not to object to his meeting them on two even- ings every week and to pass an agreea- ble hour or two iu their company over a friendly game of whist, but she sim- ply did not comprehend how he oonld enjoy himself without her; how be oonld ever think of going anywhere without taking her along. "Oh, the dreadful evenings I have to spend!" she complained, with tears in her eyes. ''I am obliged to sit here all alone because I hove as yet had no chance to form any acquaintances here. Naturally I get homesick. Often I feel like leaving everything and taking the train home to my parents. "Would it not be better, carting, if you went to bed and tried to sleep?" "That is just where the trouble is," she replied, still in tears. "I am afraid. Our servant sleeps way up in the attio. She would not even hear were anything to happen to me." "Why you foolish child, what is there to be afraid of? What is going to hap- pen?" "Are not the papers every day fall of burglaries and robberies?" she persisted. "Think of the many strangers that flock to a well known health resort like this. Nothing is impossible under such cir- cumstances." The husband looked thoughtfully at his sweet bride. "No, dear; I do not want you to frighten yourself into illness. I promise yon herewith of my own free will"—the poor fellow could not help heaving a sigh as he said this—"to return promptly at 11 o'clock whenever I go to meet my friends. It is impossible for me to with- draw myself from their society alto- gether, for they would ridicule and make fun of me and call me henpecked. Burglars rarely put in their appearance before the hour of 11, the streets being full of life and traffic. Goodby, darling, and please do not feel lonesome." Annie sighed and submitted resigned- ly to her fate. She read awhile. She then took up her embroidery, a present for her mother. She played a game of solitaire, and finally she paced restlessly up and down the room. At home there had been a large family circle; hence h was very trying to her to be left so much to herself in her new surroundings. At 10 o'clock even the familiar noises in the kitchen ceased, for the servant had gone up stairs to her attic, and the poor woman felt the old feeling of dis- tress and fright creep over her. The sit- ting room was located at the rear of the house, and there was a hallway between it and the front rooms. She therefore could not hear the neral noises. A deathlike silence reigned in the room. Tired and yet excited, she threw herself on the lounge. She sadly reflected why beerhouaes and card parties had been Called into existence. By and by her thoughts became more and more oon- fused, and she fell into a sound slumber. It was 11:06 o'clock when Gus arrived breathlessly and posthaste at his house door and tried to fit his key into the lock. Poor fellow! Had evil spirits con- spired to get him into trouble? Click— the key broke in two, and the bit stuck fast in the keyhole, handle and barrel alone remaining in his hands. He knocked, ho called, he knocked again and louder—for unfortunately there was no house bell; all in vain. "I hardly think my wife has retired as early as this," he reflected, "but of course she is in the sitting room, and most likely she cannot hear me." Onoe more he knocked, this time very load. He called until his voice was hoarse; no reply. To fill his cup of misery to the brim it commenced to rain, and he was with- out au umbrella. "Perhaps Annie has gone to bed aft- er all," he thought, shivering and drip- ping wet. "Shall I go to a hotel? Nol What would the people think! The only place that I know of that may still be open is the railway depot, for there is a train arriving at midnight." He went down the street in a pouring rain and at last found himself in the waiting room of the station. "A glass of beer, sir?" asked an en- terprising waiter. Gus shook himself. He felt chilly. "Punch," he said, "and make it hot!" He drank one glass and then another and still another to while away the time. He was the only person there. In due time the last train had arrived, and he could stay no longer. They were about to close up. In sheer desperation he looked at his watch. It was 1 o'clock when he emerged into the street, and it had ceased to rain. The full moon seemed to grin and wink at him maliciously through the clouds, as though she meant to say: "See, old man, it serves you right. Why must you go out to play cards and leave your wife at home in loneliness'?" In spite of the repeated potations he still felt chilly. "There is no help for it but a good run," he said to himself, starting on a lively trot through the city, first down one street, then up an- other, through the suburbs, until he reached the open oountry and back again without stop or rest for fear of catching cold. The town clock struck the hour of 4. "It is still too early to get into the house," he said. "The (rent door is never unlocked before 8 o'clock. Will they be able to unlock the door anyway? A piece of my key sticks in the look. The women are imprisoned and cannot get out. But now I can stand this no longer. I mast have something hot to drink and sit down somewhere. There is a train at 4 o'clock." And forthwith he once more wended his way to the railroad depot. A snug corner and a cup of hot coffee somewhat restored him. But he was very tired, and pretty goon he was as sound asleep in his oorner as his wife had been the night before on her lout And how did his wife fare? She awoke in the middle of the night with a start, almost frightened out of her wits by a horrid dream, in which her husband had appeared before her, wounded, bleeding and torn by huge bloodhounds. Pretty soon, however, she comprehended the situation. Her faoe bathed in tears, she paced restlessly up and down the room, wringing her hands. "Oh, the wretch! To sty out all night! Just to think of it! Snoh a man haa the effrontery to talk to me of love. Not oontent to act like a villain, he even bad to make fan of me last night by pretending he world henceforth be home at 11 o'clock. Who would ever have thought him so base? They close the beerhonse after midnight; hence he oannot pretend to be playing cards there all night. Heaven only knows where be is spending the _night, in whoa} cox - pony he is enjoying himself, w iile I— Bnt he'll find that I am not hie dupe. I shall leave him at onoe. There is a train at 7 o'clock in the morning which I am going to take and go home to my par- ents." At 6 o'clock she oalled the serving maid, whom she sent to the garret for a valise and oommenoed to pack The maid said nothing, and she was surpris- ed that her master had not risen and did not help his wife. However, she made the coffee and went alter a cab. The front door was wide open and a locksmith busy with the big look when Annie appeared in the ball The land- lady ran to meet her, exclaiming in a hurry of excitement: "Did you hear about it, madam? A thief was here last night and made an attempt to enter the house. Some one must have frightened him off. He left a broken key stunk tact in the look, and was unable to unlock the door. I had to call from the window until I aroused a neighbor, who ran for a lookemith. Now I am going to have a patent look put on and spoil their little. game. But you look very pale, my dear madam. I am sorry to have frightened you with my burglar story. Are you go- ing to take a ride so early this morn- ing?" Annie nodded and passed on. She was glad that the woman toad not Been her valise, which her maid had already put into the cab. "What a narrow escape I had last night! How near I came being robbed— perhaps worse 1" She was now thor- oughly angry. So much more reason for leaving the fellow, no matter what the consequences! "For the present I shall remain with my parents." Thus mus- ing, arrived at the depot. Before purchasing her ticket she in- tended to leave her valise in the wait- ing room. Annie entered and made for an empty table, when suddenly she drop- ped the valise and almoet screamed aloud. Wasn't that her husband, "bee" Gus, sitting there in a oorner and mor- ing loud enough to make everybody in the room smile at his nasal powers? He looked tired and worn, and his garments appeared damp. How did he get here, and why was ho in snob a dilapidated condition? She stood for a moment un- decided and unable to take her eyes off bis drawn, wornout features. Suddenly the sleeper opened his eyes. Whatever the outcome, she must avoid a scene in a public room. Anything but that. The waiters had more than once looked wonderingly at the man who had drunk three pups of coffee and then fall- en asleep hours ago. Annie tried to ap- pear quite unconcerned and took a seat beside her husband. Somehow her anger had suddenly vent/died. "Oh, darling, what brought me—I mean rather what brought you—here?" he asked, astonished at the unexpected appearance of his wife dressed for a journey. "Never mind, dear. Don't bother about that now," she whispered. "Come, let ns ride home, where I will explain all." Gus acquiesced in silence. His feet felt heavy and hardly able to carry his weight. He was sick. All he could do was to drag himself to a cab. And then explanations were in order. Annie had no reason to doubt her bus - band's narration of his adventures dur- ing the night, and what the landlady bad told her about the broken key tended to oorroborate and exonerate him. But be could not quite make out from her explanations what had taken her to the railway station. He was, however, too ill to ask many q sections. Arrived at home, she simply told the astonished servant that "they had changed their mind and would not go away became her husband, who had preceded her to the depot, had been sud- denly taken sick," and sent her after a physician. Gus was very sick. For two weeks be oould not leave bis bed. A complicated and aggravated attack of influenza was the result of his experience during that ill fated night Annie never left his bedside, and now it was her great care and tireless, devoted nursing that opened his eyes as to the depth and unselflahneae of her great love for him. At last Gus got well, and though he would now and then go to have a social game of whist his wife never again doubted him, even if he staid out later than 11. —From the German.

The spiral encircling strips are so painted as to form the usual stripes. There is talk now of alumin- ium barber poles, which would be much more expensive, but would be of extreme durability and oonld always be sold at so much a pounds In the east the barber poles need are almost all made or! wood, and in fact the barber poles everywhere are princi- pally of wood. The wood commonly use ie soft maple. Barber poles are made in various sines, but standard full size poles are made 0 and 10 feet in length and from 8 to 12 inches in circumference. They are sometimes made 14 inches in oir- onmferenoe, but that is unusual There is now in force in this city an ordinance requiring that outside barber poles shall be kept within the stoop line, and that they shall not exceed 6 feet in height Before the adoption of that ordinawoe the large pole most commonly used in this oity was 10 feet in height and 10 inches in diameter. Since the ordinance came into force there has been here an increased use of door poles and window poles, these being very mach slender- er, and in the nese of the window poles very much shorter. The door poles stand beside the doorway or entranoe. In the case of a basement atop, 'where the poles would be at the beginning of the steps, and so in sight along the sidewalk, they are placed upright When placed beside a ground floor door- way, they are slanted outward slightly, so that the top projeots beyond the building front. The window poles, which are shout little poles with a gild- ed ball at each end, are fixed at an an- gle to iron brackets secured to the win- dow casing. A barber is likely to use two door poles, one on either side of the door, and he may use window poles also, so that in this city the number of poles used is greater than ever before, though it may be that their aggregate bulk is no larger than that of the onnall- er number of larger poles that once stood by the curbstones, or were other- wise conspicuously placed. There have boon mads barber poles with spiral stripes simulated by stripes painted diagonally ou tapering stripe of board. Years ago, too, there were made some barber poles of four stripe of board, tapering and palled together, making an obelisk shaped alga, which was striped in the usual way. But the pole, usually in some aimple form, was the common thing, and this developed grad - tinily into the more elaborate pole now oamrnonly used, which is made with perhaps bands or other shapes turned or otherwise fastened upon it, and with greater riches and variety of ornamenta- tion. Pretty much all poles are sur- mounted by a gilded ball. Other shapes— pear, for instance—have been mads for a finish, but the ball is the most popular. With the more elaborate poles, with bands and carvings and panels, and with the spaces of the length more broken up, came more elaborate styles of coloring, and more or less departure from the tussal spiral stripes, poles being painted with the conventional colors, but with diamond abapes, and so on. But now, while poles are made as elab- orately as ever in shape, there is rather more simplicity of coloring, and the most elaborate of poles are pretty sure to allow the spiral striping somewhere. the olear spaces on the pole between the ornamental designs being torus painted. Less blue is used in stripes than for- merly, the stripes being now tangly of red and white, and the red generally used in a shade darker than formerly. More gold than ever is now used on the big ornamental pollee. Besides, on the tope it is sometimes used in stars and other gilded ornamentation, and there are poles of various sizes made with spiral gold stripes on a black body in- stead of a white body. These cost more than poles striped in colors, but the use of them is increasing. More black and gold poles aro used in the west, where people seem to spend more money on barber polee than in the east. But ev- erywhere the spiral stripes are the bar- ber's symbol, whether they are painted on a pole specially designed for a sign or on a telegraph pole, or, as may some- times bo seen in smaller plaoea, around the trunk of a trey—New 'York Sun. "The Myortty of Women." The opponents of woman suffrage claim to represent the majority of wom- en. The claim is baseless. The majority of women are neither iaffragiste nor remonstrante; they are indifferent Of those who take any live- ly in the question either way e large majority want to vote.

For many years almsgiving has been regarded by the church as a mere acces- sory to religion, and too often as a means of promoting attendance at its services and classes.

Leglatattng nook Els Character. Sam Davis, in disouseing the mubjeot of Indians, told of the rehabilitation of Johnston Sides. Johnston Sides was a ohief of the Nevada Indiana who made quite a fame for himself as a temper- ance lecturer among his own people. But one day, "being sick," he took a drink of whisky in the Magnolia saloon and was observed by some wicked white men, who straightway started the re- port in full oiroulation, and Mr. Elides' reputation bade fair to be gone. But be was an Indian of influence, and, appeal- ing to his white friends, he represented that something mart be done else he would become an ontcaat from his tribe. He acknowledged drinking the liquor, but told the sick man story. Sides had always been a fair aorto! an Indian, so, as be pleaded and begged, two or three good fellows in the legislature agreed to fix things so that he oould go back to his people in pride of conquest. Ao- oordingly this oonourrent resolution wan drawn up: "Resolved, by the legislature of the state of Nevada, the governor oononr- ring, That the drink of whisky taken by Johnston Sides in the Magnolia saloon July 11, 1887, be and is hereby an- nul led. " Several speeches were made, and old Sides, surrounded by a big gathering of his tribe, sat in the lobby and beard all with profound interest.

Thus, when we soddenly strike our beads or faces against something in the dark we see "stare," or bright sparks, which we know aro not real lights, though they are quite as bright and 'sparkling as if they were. When we close ono eye and look straight ahead at some word or let- ter in the middle of this page, for ex- ample, we soem to see not only the thing we are looking at, but everything else immediately about it and for a long way on each side But the truth 1e there is a largo round spot somewhere near the point at which we aro looking in which we we nothing. Curiously enough, the existence of this blind spot was not discovered by accident, and no- body ever suspected it until Mariotte reasoned trom the construction of the eyeball that it must exist and proceeded to find it.—Harrison Wilson, M.

Hot Drinks Por Thirst, It is a mistake to suppose that cold drinks are necessary to relieve thirst Very oold drinks, as a rule, increase the feverish condition of the mouth and stomach and so create thirst. Experi- ence shows it to be a fact that hot drinks relieve the thirst and "000l off" the body when it is in an abnormally heated oondition butter than foe cold drinks. It is far better and safer to avoid the use of drinks below 80 de- grees. In fact, a higher temperature is to be preferred, and those who are mach troubled with thirst will do well to try the advantages to bo derived from hot drinks, indeed of cold fluids, to which they have been aoouatoaned. Hot drinks also have the advantage of aiding di- gestion, instead of causing debility of the stomach and bo wela—New York Ledger. A Defeo of Tea.

There are four truths respecting the mosquito which modern soienoe has es- tablished: First—A mosquito oannot live in air free from malarial poison. Untainted air has the same effect on him as a healthy oontmuslty on a dootor. It de- prives him of patients, and he must go to leas favored localities to practice his profession. Second. --The lymph, which flows through an automatic valve when it in- mate ite proboscis, oontaina a modified germ of the malarial fever, and, accord- ing to the well settled law of Mooch, don, the istroduotlon of the weak gesso readers harmless a subsequent attack by the strong germ Third. —The mosquito never swallows human blood. It cannot. The fact that ita body becomes discolored and swells while probing is caused by the discolora- tion of the lymph in contact with the blood and the muscular effort of insert- ing the probe. Fourth.—A mosquito will never in- sert its lancet is a person not susoepti- ble to an attack of malaria. In this re- spect its sense is psore accurate than the most skilled and experienced patholo- gist This also proves not only its un- erring instinct, but that it novor wounds unneoeesarily. Its thrusts are those of a skilled and human surgeon and even more unselfish, for hope of a fee never quickens him, nor does the malediotion of his patient deter him in the fulfill- ment of hie duty. Remember, then, that the preeenoe of a mosquito is an infallible aign that malaria is in the air and that you are exposed to it, and when you bear that well known but solemn note of warn- ing do not treat him as a foe, but u a friend.—Boston Transcript Hawthornes Study. Rose Hawthorne Lathrop, in "Memo- ries of Hawthorne," gives this descrip- tion of Hawthorne's study: "I have hang on his walls the two Lake Como and the Loch Lomond pio- turee, all of which I painted expressly for him, and the little mahogany center table stands under the astral lamp, cov- ered with a crimson cloth. The antique center table broke down one day be- neath my dear husband's acme, with s mighty sound, astonishing me in my studio below the study. He has mended it. On one of the secretaries stands the lovely Ceres and opposite it Margaret Fuller's bronze vase. In the afternoon, 'when the sun fills the room and lights up the pictures, it is beautiful. Yet still more, perhaps, in the evening, when the astral enacts the sun, and parrs shine upon all the objects and shows beneath the noblest head in Christendom, in the ancient chair with its sculptured back (a chair said to have come over in the Mayflower and owned by the Hawthorne family), and whenever 1 look up two stare beneath a brow of serene white radiate love and sympathy upon ma Can you think of a happier life, with its rich intellectual feasts?

My thought does not yet oompaa. him" Origin of April Pool. Very curious things may be discover- ed by pople who love to moues among old books. Here is a very free transla- tion from a Parsee reoord not accessible to many: "It happened in a remote year, when the inhabitants of a land were engaged in sun worship early on the first day of April, that s ahining man stepped forth from the earth, pro- claiming the purifying uses of fire. He called and counseled all who had dam- aged household stuff, each u broken kneading troughs, tattered curtains oof- teepots with holes in them, lame fur- niture, worthless books and all snob things that might be considered the dry refuse of life, to make a pyre on the plain outside of the city and to oele- brate this burning the first day of every April, atter which the ashes might be timed to fertilise the ground. So the householders began to oarry forth. But their wives did seise on esab miserable article, saying: 'Do not mo. Behold, let ns hide it in the attic seven years more. It may oome handy.' Then the angel or messenger was wroth with humanity that would not purify itself by fire. And be said, 'From this day yon shall call one another and !re nailed April fools.' "—Chicago Poet They Waited Well. A large audience once gathered in Baltimore to bear the late Professor Sylvester read a unique original poem of 400 lines, all rhyming with the name Rosalind. He had appended to the poem a large number of explanatory footnotes, which be said he world read lira When at last be hod done w, be looked up at the clock and wu horri- fied to And that be had kept the audi- ence an hoar and a half before begin- ning to read the poem they had omme to bear.

There still remains to be considered what must be regarded as the main problem in dealing with all famines, and that is the conveyance of the neces- sary amount of 'applies to the districts where they are required. Hitherto it has been the impossibility of bringing food within reach of the starving mul- titudes that has caused so much deetruo- tion to human life during previous fam- ines, for it is evident that animal trans- port can only convey the necessary pro- visions a very short distanoe from the centers of supply, inasmuch as the beasts of burden, after a chain amount of travel, will themselves have con- sumed their entire load. The great stand by under such circumstances is railway communieation, for without it the most strenuous efforts of human en- ergy and human ingenuity will prove of no avail when, as is now the case, the desolated area comprises a belt ex- tending 1,000 miles in one direction and 500 is the other. Thanks to the preeofenooe of the Indian government and to the sagacious recommendations of General Strachey's commission, dur- ing the last 20 years a number of what are called "famine railways" have been completed. These railways are knows in India as "famine railways" because they have purposely been laid down not where there was a prospect of opening the country to remunerative traffic or where a paying dividend could be ex- pected, but through those districts where previous experience and meteor- ological observations have indicated that the rainfall is most frequently scanty and capricious. Already 6,000 miles of these special lines are in fail working order, and more are in course of oonstrnction. As a consequence there are now no considerable districts in In- dia liable to the visitations of famine where communications by rail have not been fairly provided.—Marquis of Du!- ferin and Ava in North American Re- view. Queer Color Hames. People wear vesuvins red now, and elephant's breath, London smoke, tabac, crushed raspberry and etrawberry and robin's egg blue and other shades, but taabionable folks of old wore colors with names more odd sounding still. Innocent infant was once a favorite pol- ar, and captain's glory, also a sad drab Dolor known as penitent hermit A gown of caterpillar brown might be adorned with trimmings of canary tail. A strong gray, blended with purple, was dubbed lively flea, and, whereas there is now break of day pinks, milli- ners of a century ago trimmed poke bonnets with ruchings of thought of the beloved one and gnillings of doe's belly. A oourt beauty in the time Henry IV of Franoe affected a color known as mortal sin, and it came to be the rage forthwith, and common harm was an- other popular fancy for stomacher's and petticoats. One subtle, barely hinted at shade was christened etified sigh. Dead alive was another anomalous color greatly in favor in Mario Antoinette's time, most of these oat of the way and rather un- decided shades being chosen by women whose dainty coloring needed only an unobtrusive background to bring it into relief.—Now York Sun. Ants as Quests of Plants.. The ants which aro really protective to plants are not those which obtain their food (indirectly for the most part through the aphides) from the vegeta- bee kingdom, but those which are real- ly carnivorous. These are numerous in temperate climates, and their useful- ness to agriculture and sylviculture is inoontestable. Thus the Heid ant is a great insect destroyer. A nos; of this species is capable of destroying as many as 28 caterpillars and grasshoppers a minute, or 1,600 an hour, and such a oolony is at work day and night during the pleasant season. In the arid plain. of America the beneficent work of ants is revealed in the isles of verdure around their hills. There are plants hospitable to ants, which furnish them shelter and often food, within the cavities of which the instincts of the ants prompt them to take their abode. This is the tares with several ferns, among them the Polypo- dium nectariferum, the sterile fronds of which bear neotaries on their lower fano and are, moreover, of a shape favorable to sheltering the insect—Professor IIL. Heim in Popular Science Monthly. Tree Medical Adder. A good story has been told by a family doctor regarding a little ruse adopted by one of his patients who wished to save the expense of oonsult- ing him. Thepatient was a woman of good means, but of frugal disposition. Ono day she began to feel some alarm re- garding her health, and, wishing to avoid a costly procedure, made an ap- plioation to a life insurance company for a policy of large amount—no large, indeed, that they delegated three med- ical men to make an exhaustive exami- nation of her before they could aooept her uarisk. In due time she was informed that her life bad been accepted. She was thus in a position to ammo that ate was quite well, whereupon she replied to the company that she had changed her mind, and did not intend to take oat a policy just then.—Pearson's Weeky.

The new poor -house in Empire was examined by the county commis- sioners on Thursday with a view to acceptance, the carpenters and paint- ers having completed their work. and the removal from the old place at Auburn being well under way. It is a sightly location on the St. Paul road, about half way between Farm- ington and Rosemount, and can be seen for miles in every direction. The farm consists of one hundred and sixty acres of the very best land in the county, with very little waste, which can be utilized for pasture. The building is of irregular form, three stories and basement, measur- ing three hundred feet around it, so planned that the sun strikes every room at some time (luring the day. There are accomodations for forty- two people without crowding, with separate quarters for the men and the women, and seems to be conveniently arranged.

Our train pulled out from the station in tite City of )lexico on Sunday promptly :tt ten p. to. with :1 liugrri c. regret from every one upon the shortness of our stay and the unsay things which were neces- sarily overlooked or omitted iu the multiplicity of sight seeing. We could easily have put in another week to good advantage. The return rifle to .lguas (.tlientes was without incident worthy of notice. here the ladies renewed their bargainl,rgs for drawn work at a considerable discount over prices asked 011 the ingoing trip. The welcome cry of all aboard only pre- vented a �,eucral bankruptcy, with assets upon a par with the recently suspended banks in St. Paul and Minneapolis. and nothing for the receiver and attortleys. The principal halt w:ts made at Zacatecas. a town of•tifty thousand people. and one of the leading silver camps of the world. Mining has been continuously carried on here since 1,5-16. with a yearly output of $5,I)ltO,00it. and :t total :t_gti .fate of 7110.0oi),otio. in general appearance it somewhat resembled Guanajuato, altttou ret not so contracted in space and with less than half the popula- tion. The Rio Grande was passed in the night, a custom house officer board- ing the train at Eagle Pass for a superficial examination of our luggage at his leisure. and it is safe to say that the :unount of duties collected' had no appreciable effect upon the money markets of the world. At San Antonio a stop of several hours was trade to exclt tri t what little Mexican silver still remained in the party. and then carne the long ride homeward bound. Missouri was reached at the begin- ning of the great washouts, but by transferring to another road the man- agers of the popular Frisco Route had the train in St. Louis in time for most of the early trains on Friday morning, and our Saturday breakfast was enjoyed at home. 1. T. The rank anti tilt of the republican party in this state do not manifest any especial enthusiasm over the re- cent appointments of a son of \V. R. Merriam as :assistant paymaster in the navy, Stanford Newel as minister to the Netherlands, Tams Bixby as Indian commissioner, or II. A. Castle as sixth auditor of the treasury de- partment, all from St. Paul. The modest lightning rods in the country precincts can now be taken down, as tete storm is probably over. The appointment of E. M. Johnson in the fourth district to succeed H. C. Belden. resigned. seems to have been a great surprise to the bar of Minneapolis. They probably realize by this time that one D. M. Clough is governor of liunesota. The attorney general decides that pupils in the model department of tete four normal schools of the state are not entitled to enrollment for the purpose of drawing public money. The number is estimated at four hundred. Gov. Clough has appointed M. R. Todd, of Preston, and A. E. Rice, of Willmar, as regents of the state uni- versity in place of W. iI. Yale and J. P. Ileatwole, and re -appointed W. M. Liggett. The Rand -McNally Railway Guide for May has been received, one of the iudispensables in every business office. $:1 per year.

Gue, our night operator who has been here three years this spring, was laid off Thursday on account of the fire. Lewis Kellihan, the Sherburne bank robber, is to be hanged on Fri- day, Aug. 20th. Hastings can now well afford to smile. Though failing to secure the insane asylum for herself, she has been able, through the efforts of the great Ignatius, to defeat an appropria- tion for the erection of such an insti- tution on the banks of the Rum, and has thereby made the Anokians crazy to judge from the language used by their two representatives of public opinion, The Union and The Herald. We dare not quote them, for we are a God fearing people up here in Isanti, and such a vigorous misuse of the English tongue might be misinterpret- ed hereabouts and cause an urgent appeal to the governor for an extra session of the legislature to provide at least for the hurried construction of a temporary hospital for the con- finement and treatment of the citizens of Anoka. When at the expiration of a few months it were deemed safe to liberate the patients Auditor Dunn might profitably lease it as a cattle barn for the period of two years.- Isanti Press. An Unsound Position. Henceforth The Union is not a republi- can newspaper. nor is it a democratic, populistic, or prohibition. but will be an Anoka pater, working fur her interests In everything and at all times. No party ties or party afilllatioks will allow it to forget that fact. It will express its own sweet will upon every question which may come up and be bound to no one, no class, no party. A legislature ovcrwhelm- ly republican has turned Anoka down, without reason, without honesty, without justice, and without excuse. It proposes to battle royally for its rights. and to strike hard at every opportunity. That will be its platform, until the city which is its home secures what rightfully be- longs to it. -Anoka Union. The above position is unsound and cannot bo maintained. Editor Pease has been induced to assume it through disappointment and fancied slight. It is always proper for a newspaper to bo loyal to. its own locality. In fact, none could prosper without the exercise of this quality to a greater or lesser extent, and in this respect the new position of The Union is sound. But for an old editor to fly off the handle as Bro. Pease does in the above article, and as he has done in others previously published, it seems to us indicates infirmity of judgment. And what is it all about? Because the legislature declined to appropriate money to build an insane hospital at Anoka. The position of Bro. Pease is only tenable on the ground that the people of Anoka are the only inhabitants of the state in- terested in the building of a fourth hospital for the insane. But this can- not be true. If one is built it will be built at the expense of all the people. All the people are interested in the humane care of the insane of the state, and their chief interest is in having the new institution located, when needed, at a convenient point, in order to be as economically managed as possible. Perhaps Anoka occupies an advan- tageous position in this respect. So does Hastings and a score of other towns and cities that might be named. If it is justifiable for Bro. Pease to rave and tear himself from party ties and make wild political threats. it is just as justifiable for Bro. Toted, of The Hastings Gazette, to do the same, or the editor of any paper published in a town which made a serious effort to secure the location of the hospital. What is the nature and essence of Bro. Pease's desire for the hospital? Is it not based almost entirely upon selfishness? Does he not want it because he thinks its location in Anoka will give himself and neigh- bors additional patronage? If its existence in Anoka would not bring additional trade to himself and his associates and fellow mourners, would he and they want it? Suppose the law should provide that all supplies for the hospital should be pur- chased at wholesale in New York or some other primary port, where they could be bought at the lowest possible prices, would Bro. Pease and his Anoka friends feel the same interest in its location? We think not. Several hundred people of nu - sound mind in a small city is no particular advantage or attraction, and if the trade element were elim- inated there would be no scramble for the institution.-Jfoorhead News. State Auditor Dunn has rented the Anoka asylum site for two years for $930, and it is agreed that no timber shall be cut from the same. It is a wise provision that retains the scenic beauties of scrub oak and dwarf tam- aric for the landscape connoisseurs of Rum River basin. The lease might have been made with propriety for ninety-nine years so far as the utiliza- tion of this state for asylum grounds is concerned. We would suggest that the state further engage two patrol- men whose duty it shall be specially to guard the diminutive forest of the state grounds at Anoka and suggest, for the position of day -keeper, I. A. Caswell, the chip -on -shoulder editor and discoverer of treachery, deceit, bribery and corruption. For the even- ing watch we would suggest the inde- fatigable Pease. -Farmington Tribune.

Kennedy hauled a load of beans and peas from Minneapolis for seed on Tuesday. As was predicted early in the ses- sion Jacobson was the leader of the house, and the efforts to wrench it away from him by other aspiring members failed. Jacobson has been an apt student. He is a good parlia- mentarian, a hard worker, studying every measure thoroughly which he champions, fearless and absolutely honest. Jacobson does not owe his leadership to popularity. He is too much of a fighter and champion wood- chuck killer for that. Nor does he owe it to any superior ability over dozens of other members who are his peers in brain and education. He has fought his way through to the top with every inch of ground disputed, every advantage reluctantly granted. It was a victory earned, hence he was able to retain it in spite of an opposi- tion. C. F. Staples, of Dakota Coun- ty, is another very able member, just as honest, just as earnest, and in some respects superior to Jacobson. He always commands attention, and bis influence is felt on every important measure. -Mora Times. There is a man in Anoka who runs a newspaper which has been called a republican in politics, but since the legislature would not make an appro- priation to build an insane asylum at Anoka has bucked, says be is out of the republican party. For the past two years the average Anokan and Gov. Clough could sec dimly outlined on the smooth and shining surface of his (the editor's) cranium the fourth insane asylum, but that reflection has disappeared, hence the slump. -Ker/,'. haven Banner, The state had better plant that asylum site to potatoes. -Jordan Independent.

Lot; t1nix the Blaute, Concerning the failure of the late legislature to make adequate provi- sion for the care of the insane, The St. Cloud Journal -Press says: The blame rests wholly upon the legis- lature. It refused to act, with full knowl- edge of the situation, and. in spite of the earnest recommendations of the heespital board. the board of corrections and chari- ties, and the governor of the state. With a few- minor exceptions that were probably overlooked by the zeal- ous hospital broker who "arranged things" with Holier, the above state- ment is correct. The principal ex. ceptions are in the first and second sentences of the paragraph -which contains two sentences. The blame dots not ''rest wholly upoii the legislature," for the reason that about two-thirds of the legisla- ture voted for a bill which would have made adequate find ample provision for the support of all the insane. 1 f did not "refuse to act," but on the contrary came within three votes to "acting" to very good purpose in passim; the bill over the governor's veto. The legislature had "full knowledge of the situation" and also full knowledge of Mr. Eastman's con- nection with it, which was strongly evidenced by Ole vote to annul the proceedings had :it Fergus Falls by the grace of the firm of EIoper & East- inall. Let the blame test where it be- longs. The legislature has enough to answer for without bein ► charged with the sins of the Anoka lobby, the -the obstinacy of the governor, or the speculating propensities of Alvah Eastman. -St. l'anl Dispatch. al per Tear la Ash anise, •9 per rear 11 not In Airanee.

Clough said, "I will tell you before you pro- ceed that neither you nor the governor of Washington can pile affidavits high enough to get that man. You will never get him as long as I nm gov- ernor of the state of Minnesota." The deep interest taken 11y the gov- ernor and other officials in Sense's case is due to the fact that they are old friends and business associates of his.

To leave these fish during the summer would be merely to let them die, and Supt. Morgan, of the hatchery, will make an effort to gath- er them in and distribute them among the streams and lakes of the state. In this way the commission will make up largely for the failure to secure spawn in the northern part of the state.

The beauty of stage settiug is being greatly enhanced by electric light de- vices. Fos iuotance, iu a play founded on life on too Mississippi, a most realis- tic bit of scenic detail is introduced. In one of the scenes, which depicts a southern swamp, the air is thick with fireflies, which flit and glow with a most realistio phosphorescence. The se- cret of this effect is a net hung in front of the back scene, upon which are fas- tened innumerable small Geissler tubes. These aro connected with a battery ac- tuated by u keyboard, which can be op- erated at the will of the electrician. By swinging the net gently backward and forward the motion of the fireflies is perfectly imitated. In the weird opera of "The Flying Dutchman" an extraordinary effect is produced, us the phantom ship comes in sight, by the bursing forth from the topmasts and yards of St. Elmo's fire --- the pheuomenon which occurs in the tropics 011 account of the electrical ten- sion between the earth and the clouds —and the streaks of bluish white light wave like spectral banners high over the gloomy deck and the ghostly steeers- mau. This striking illusion is effected by placing on the top of each mast a 100 candle power arc lamp, which is operated individually from a keyboard. Another Wagner opera, "Die Wal- kure," is indebted to a beautifully con- ceived combination tyl light an:. steam for ono of its most important spectacu- lar features. Clouds of stearal are always effective in a stage picture on accouut of thejr susceptibility of taking the col- or of calcium or electric lights. A box about 15 feet long, having half inch open slits in the top through which the steam escapes, is masked behind a low set piece of rock or shrubbery and con- nected at either end with steam pipes. As the clouds rise a row of white, red and blue incandescent lights from be- hind gives the appearance of sunlight sparkling on the mist of a waterfall, while to complete the fascination of the scene a rainbow is secs playing on the moving masses of steam cloud.—St...

Roland Reed tells this story: "Mr. Jefferson and I happened to be in New Orleans at the same time some years ago, and Mr. Jefferson was to deliver a lecture for an entertail.ncnt that was a benefit for some hospital there. At his request I also made a few remarks, and afterward we stood together iu the foyer, and Senator Jones introduced us to the people who presented thentelve& Punch was flowing, and both Mr. Jef- ferson and myself were much taken with the handsome young woman who was serving it. We became so interested in h,r that we finally sat down where we could look at her better. In a mo- ment or two we were delighted to see that she was making her way toward ns. She had with her two cards and asked us if we wouldn't write otir names on them. Autographs, of course, wo thought, and were delighted to do that for her. We hardly looked at the cards. After we had written she informed us that it was for some charity or other, and, thus jarred, we took a more extend- ed look at the etude. We had signed a promise to pay $5 each. Mr. Jefferson and I looked at each other sorrowfully, and his hand started down in his pocket. So did mine. We each put up our $5 and went home soon afterward. It was a clear case of 'worked.' " Matthew Arnold. When I was rector of St. Margaret's, Westminster, Matthew Arnold was in- spector of ars national schools. It was always delightful to see and hear him as he examined the little children— many of them among the poorest of the poor ---in grammar or arithmetic, or looked critically at the work done by the little Annes and Mary Janes of the back streets. He manifested a true dig• nity by the uncomplaining faithfulness and regularity with which for many long years he discharged the compara- tively humble routine duties of an in- spector, which must have often seemed Very uncongenial and from which he ought to have been exempted by promo- tion or some form of national gratitude. He used sometimes to say at gatherings where he was received with the loudest applause, "Gentlemen, you see before you a humble inspe Iter of schools. "— Dean Farrar in lij iple Magazine. Tobacco In a Cricket Ball. A crickt yarn which is having a fine run in Australia refers to the use made of a cricket ball by 801110 prisoners wbo were allowed to exercise ill the yard of a country jail. Drives over the jail hall became so frequent that the prisoners did little else but field and throw the ball back again. At last the governor bemired enspi- oious and insisted ou examining the ball It was of india rubber and remark- ably light for its size. The explanation was that the inside was composed of to- bacco. The halves of the ball screwed togeth- er neatly, and it is now said to be one of the treasures of the jail museum.— Pearson's Weekly. A Glimpse of Tennyson. Max Muller, in his reminiscences of Tennyson, says the poet wanted thawing out—had to be "smoking a pipe, sipping whisky and water" — before ho was genial.

The second day he became very moody and captious; the third no one knew what to do with him. But after a disturbed night I was told that he got out of bed in the morning, went quick- ly into the garden, picked up oue of his broken pipes, stuffed it with tho re- mains of the tobacco scattered about and then, having had a few puffs, camp to breakfast all right again. Nothing more was said about giving up tobacco." Mark Antony's Debt. Mark Antony held aloft the blood- stained togr, of his murdered friend, Caesar.

This Thomas Mann Raudelph man ied, first, Anne, daughter of Archibald clary of Ampthill, the fiery patriot of the Revolntion, known by the sobriquet of "Old Iron." The oldest sou of this marriage became Mr. Jefferson's son-iu-law.

An artJolo about lighthouses, entitled "The Lights That Guide In the Night," is oontributed by Lieutenant John M. Ellicott to At. Nichola& After telling of the growth in the number of light- houses Lieutenant Ellicott says: Meantilno the means of lighting were being steadily improved. The open fire gave plaoe to the o11 lamp, then e curved mirror, called a parabolic mir- ror, was placed behind the lamp tc bring tho rays together; next, many lamps with mirrors were grouped about a central spindle, and some snob lights are still in operation. Tho greatest stride came when an arrangement of lenses, known as the Fresno] lens, in front of a lamp replaced the mirror be- hind it. This lemmas rapidly improved for lighthouse purposes, until now a cylindrical glass house surrounds the lamp flame. This house bas lens shaped walls, which bond all the rays to form a horizontal tomo of strong light which pierces the darkness to a great distance. Tbo rapid increase in the number of lighthouses has made it neoeesary tc have some means of telling one from another, or, as it is termed, of giving to each light its "characteristic." Col- oring the glass made the light dimmer, but as red comes Most nearly to white light iu brightness some ]ighta have red lenses. The latest and best plan, how- ever, is to act upright prisms at inter• vale in a eiecnlar framework around the lens and to revolve this frame by , clockwork. Thus the light is made tc l flash every time a prism passes between ' it and an observer. By changing the number and plants of tbo prisms or the speed of the clockwork the flashes fat any ono light can bo made to occur at ' Intervale of so many seconds for that 1 light. Putting in red prisms gives still other changes, Thus each light has its 1 "characteristic," and this is written down in signs on the cbarta and fully stated in the light lists carried by ves- eels. Thus, on a chart you may note that the light you want to eight is marked "F. W., v. W. Fl., 10 sec.," which means that it is "flied white varied by white flaabes every ten sec- onds." When a light is sighted, you see, if those aro its characteristics, and if so' you have found the right one. MOTHER GOOSE. The Iconoclast Throws a Il!g Stone at Boston's Famous Personage. Iconoclastic Boston has decided that if there ever was a Mother Goose with poetical talents—which isn't likely— she was not the Mother Goose buried in that city and whose grave has for years been haunted by 'sentimental, patriotic and more or beiss literary visitors from all parts of the country. It seems that the respectable Mrs. Elizabeth Goose, whom legend credits with the composi- tion of all those sprightly lyrics in which, for no very good reason, chil- dren aro supposed to take such delight, bad no more right to a place among America's eminent women than Jack the Giant Killer bus to be included among our famous generale. She lived and she died. and that, except the names of her parents and the fact that she bad some children, is absolutely all which is known about her. Tho story that she wrote, or at ]east collected, the famous poems is a myth invented by one of the Presumably good lady's descendants. "Mere 1'Oye" was from time ont of Mind a character in French fairy tales. The name first ap- peared in English in 1729, when the prose "Coutes de ma mere 1'oyo" were translated as "Tapes of Passed Times by Mother Goose-" This book became the property of John Newbery of Lon- don, the famous publisher of little books for children, and about 1766 he utilized the trade name by printing as a companion book "'bother Gooeo'S Melodies." Tbo latter was merely a collection of old English nursery rhymes. From England it came to America and was reprinted by Isaiah Thomas of Worooster, Mass., about 1787, then by Munroe & Frannie of Boston about 1825, and now by every one. Tho fiction about Mrs. Elizabeth Goose of Boston was seance! by John Flint Eliot about 1860, utterly without proof or probabil- ity, and has since been repeated, gain- ing imaginary details at every stage-- Now tage— Now York Times.

The hent of the sun bad struck right through and the coal dust, as was proved by the layer of white ash on the top, had been burning for a oon- siderablo time.—St. Louis Globe-Demo- orak Educating ■ .n- Trades. "I engaged that man because ho has been in the business since ho was 15 years old," said a merchant to his friend 1 as a new employee passed out of the of- fice. "Say what you will about the adaptability of well grown people or the possibility of training a plan to a oer- tain occupation after ho has reached maturity, all the same, my experience' does not coincide with that view of the case. I have been in business 80 years, and I find my best help among those wbo have made tbo occupation their life work. To be sure, they get cranky some- times and full into ruts, as wo say, but that is no worse than the opinionated, obstinate tenacity of the man wbo has done basiness for himself and has au idea that be understands business prin- ciples. "Every occupation has its traditions, ita dialect, you may say; its usages and necessities also, and a very large item it is in its possibilities. And while com• mercial affairs aro all managed on the same general basis, it is not easy to fit me occupation into tho same grooves as another one runs in. I have an idea that this same theory holds good in trades of all sorts and that the moehanio is more valuable if he acquired his deftness of hand while he was an apprentice in his teens. An ordinary lifetime is not too long in which to learn all there is to know about business, and the earlier one takes to it the more likely be is, all oth- er things being equal, to make a pro- nounced success of it."—New York Ledger. Food Products. There is danger that certain desirable articles among the raw articles of food will soon be unattainable. Some indeed have already beoome so. Wo bear the regret often expressed that the healthful properties of certain food products, as bread flour, for example, aro refined away in the modern mill proem. Re- finement is doing the damn thing for oornmeaL It is bringing ns something mach more delicate in appearance, but not the ingredient called for by those ancient recipes for Indian pudding and brown bread which have been handed down from some colonial ancestor from generation to generation. Tho modern oornmeal will not prodnoe the same oompound, no matter bow carefully the formula may be followed. A number of theso old recipes call, too, for brown sugar, something almost impossible now to procure. All inquiry for the "darkest brown sugar" at a grocer's will secure a moderately soft and pale yellow sugar; in sumo shops not even that, but only the moist, pure white C brand, can be had. In carrying out the directions of the recipe, a little molasses will have to 1* added, and even then it will not be quite the right thing. Molasses, too, is not to be had as dark as formerly, and the rich brown ginger cake of today has to take on an added and not desirable dose of tspices to get its color.—New York Post. The Growth of Flowers. It has been noted that a largo number of species of plants have their flowers bending to tbo southeast when opening. The well known compass plant, Silpbi- um laciniatnm, is one of this class. Some 80 years ago a paper was present• ed to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, showing that all the growth made in the flowers of the com- pass plant was made within two or three boars after sunrise. All growth after this was at a standstill until the nest day. It has since been noted that the flowers which turn toward the southeast in opeeing, as already referred to, aro those which choose this particular part of the day as their growing time. It is jest possible that the the heat and light after the rising of the sun has an intim • encs on growth at that time, and this may be the reason for the turning in this particular direction. All plants have a specific time of growth, some in the morning, some at midday and some at evening or night. Growth is not ooutin• none in any plant.—Meehan'', Monthly. Queer .Things About Fishra. Mr. A. E. Verrill describes the ways in which fishes sleep. They aro very light sleepers and frequently aseumo singular positions. But the most re- markable thing is the change of color many of them undergo while asleep. Usually their spots and stripes become darker and morn distinct when they fall aaleep. Occasionally the pattern of their ooloration is entirely changed. Tlae or- dinary porgy, for instance, pre sente in the daytime beautiful irridescent hues playing over its silvery sides, but at night, on falling asleep, it takes on a dull bronze tint, and six conspicuous black bands make their appearance on its sides. If it is suddenly awakened by the turning up of the gas in the aquari- um, it immediately resumes the silvery oolor that it shows by daylight. Mr. Verrill ascribes these changes to the principle of "protective coloration, " and points out that the appearance of black bands and the deepening of the spots slave to conceal the fish from their ene- mies when lying amid eelgraas and sea- weed&—Youth's Companion. Shoes IIs Japan. One of the most striking sights that take the attention of the traveler in Japan is that of the wooden sandal worn by the 96,000,000 of people. These sandals have a separate compart- ment for the great be and make a clank- ing noise on the street& Straw slippers aro also worn, and a traveler starting out on a journey will strap a supply of them on his back, that he may put on a new pair when the old is worn out. They Dost but a cent and a half a pair. They aro rights and lefts and leave the foot free to the air. Wo never see those de- formities of the foot in Japan wbicb aro so frequent in this oouutry. They are never wain in the house, but left outside the door. Passing down a street, yon may see long rows of them at the doors, old and new, largo and small. -- Boston JonrnaL Rent Written Laws.

In no country is the business of life ineurance on a sounder or more conser- vative binds than in the Uuited States. There were Home attempts made in the early years of the century to start life insurattee companies, but life 'utterance was not popular in those days, it being regarded by ninny, as the quaint remark of a Writer of the period puts it, as "wlekel to insure their liven, or to trav- el in steamboats against wind and tide." The three largest companies at prompt doing buitintien began in 1841, 1898 and 1859. The remarkable development in the business began after the civil war, and 11 1188 grown with au unexampled prog- ress. Tho great conservative life insur- ance compauien stood the shock of the timincial convulsiouti of 1878 and 1898 better than other financial institutions, and the won -de of the famous mathema- tician, Dr; Morgan, still remain true, "There is nothing in tho commercial world which approaches, even remote- ly, the security of a well established life office" The three large companies receive nnnually in premium] and other incotue about $100,000,000, their assets aggregate about $800,000,000, and they have outetanding insurance to the aniount of about $2,900,000,000. The autural preouniption arising from a study of the development of such an en- terprise is that to have maintained its place in the great field of competition it must have eubserved a purpose of great benefit to society. —Catholic World.

When old Hiram Dartwas its his sea- enty-flfth year, the faithful old wife who had bee.n his companion for a full half century, aickened and died, and, to the surprise and amusement of his rural neighbors, old Hiram set forth in search of another wife before Hannah, ' his first sponse, had been six weeks in her grave. He made no secret of 430 fact that he was "in the market" and seemed sur prised that the bidders wereso few. He attributed this fact to the general lack of taste and judgment in the "wimtuen folks" of the present day. "They're a finicky lot anyhow," said old Hiram, "an it manes o' this fool new wimmen idea" One day old Hiram drove by a neigh- bor's house all "rigged up" in his Sun- day best and with a blue eatin necktie forming a marked contrast to tbe big red geranium in his buttonhol. Ho tarried for a moment at his neighbor's' gate and frankly confessed that he was "goin a sparkin." The object of this amatory visitation was the Widow Breese, who lived "over Hebron way," and with whom old Hi- ram was wholly unacquainted. Some one had, in a spirit qf either malice or mischief, made old Riram believe that. the Widow Breese, a robust, well to do woman of about 80, would be inclined to look with favor on Hiraires suit "An it won't be no harm done to go an see her anyway," said Hiram, as he dr°Ivtewaaswanyear. ly dark when Hiram reap- peared, far less buoyant than when he went away.

"I refused her" "You refused her? Why, what do you mean, Uncle Hiram?" "Mean jms what I say. I reinsed the old—old—cattymount I" "Why, Uncle Hiram, is that a re- spectful way to speak about a lady?"

"—Detroit Free Pres& Thr English Municipal Berrie. Compturd with other professions in England, the municipal service ison the whole fairly well paid. Salaries of town clerks range from £800 in towns of a population of 80,000 to £1,750 paid by Manchester, which has a population of 500,000, while municipal engineers are paid all the way up from £200 in towns of 20,000 to £1,000 a year paid by each of the municipalities of Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle. For these salaries the councils usually demand all the time of their servants. A lawyer or an engineer may do better as a private practitioner, but in the municipal service he is sure of his posi- tion and his pay, and it will be his own fault if be hasnot eo organized his office and trained aseistants that he can bold on to his position 'well on into an old age. Advancing years may tell against a man for appointment to a municipal office, but old age is seldom made the excuse for getting rid of a town clerk or a municipal engineer. Most of them die in harness, drawing fall pay. The euboirlinate clerkships under the municipalities are not much better paid than clerkships in law and raerctuitile office& The realm why tine* positions sire prized is that in such a poeition a man regards himself as placed for life and is consequently li the enjoyment of that feeling of settlement and that ab- sence of worry as to the fntrre which are so dear to middle class Englishmen. Excellent men of their elates hold these poaition& Their abilities and their re- spectability would bring them the same salaries elsewhere, minus only the fixity of tenure which attaches to all grades of the municipal Beetles. These subor- dinates, like their superiors in the paid municipal service, vote at all elections like other citizens. They never attempt to conceal how they vote, but the recur- ring elections give rise to nopleasurable expectations or disturbing apprehensions of any kind on their part. They are nev- er active in the municipal campaigns and would as soon expect to encounter abighwaymau in the town as a collect- or seeking contributions to a campaign fund —Harper's Weekly.

Interment at Lakeside. The convict crow, as a certain well known specimen of that species of bird is known around the prison, is back to his summer quarters again. IIe arrived on the dot just when his regular six months' trip to southern climes had elapsed. This old crow is well marked and known by the keep- ers and old prisoners here. He is quite tame, making his summer home around the prison. He marched into the kitchen of Warden Wolfer's pri- vate residence bright and early on Tuesday last, and was easily recogniz- ed by Mrs. Wolfer. This is the eighth year this crow has been here, that is, since he began to act as a civilized crow should. He was prob- ably well along in years before he adopted his present regular habits. He left this vicinity on the 11th of November last, and returned early on the 11th of this month. IIe has been making these regular trips for the past eight years. -Prison Mirror. Pt. Douglas Items.

HOW A MAN GOT TWENTY YEARS FOR A PERFECT FORGERY. Reed Completely Fooled the Man Whose Name He Wrote, but Was Too Previous In His Dates—A Signature Involving an Amputated Arm. Ivan Iv'anotf, one of the most skillful of Russian forgers, when sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment in the mines of Siberia nonchalantly remarked: am the victim of poor technic. I know my business Netter than most teen, but I ata human, and to err is hu- man. Had my forgery been perfect I could not have been convicted. I ani the victim of poor technic and a careless stroke of the pen." Strange as it may seem, an event has taken place recently in the United States w hieh proyt's that Ivan IVanoff wa; nti;taken iu his theory and that the it - lut,+ perfection of a forgery may pieta the exits- of a conviction. The story whish contains the proof of this assertion is not a long one and is as fol- lows: Aleut :20 years ago a young man u;uue d Rieh:ud Robinson, who lived in the city : f New York, bought 100 acres of land in ar Kansas City. The land wa; worth only $3 or :I-1 an acre at that time, :cd Robinson. getting into trou- L1:. t1 • ,1, it the laud to his lawyer in patnnnt et his fee. The lawyer gave no at t, ntie,t to the property, and it was 1.1 f,,r taxes, and his title was good against a:l rlainiauts except infant heirs. W ;I, n the land became valuable, owing to the growth of of Kansas City, an nn - se rupuleus real estate dealer of St. Louis iu.ine, d a young woman of that ,•ity to impersonate a daughter of Rob- in,ou and to bring snit to recover the property. The girl was proved to be an iutpil for and the suit was decided :igaiust her. The case attracted wide attention, and the fart that the title to the land seem- ed somewhat in doubt caused a disbar- red lawyer named Reed, once a resident of Chicago, to look into the matter care- fully and finally to conceive a plan to obtain possession of the land through forgery. When everything had been pre- pared, Reed brought suit of ejectment against the man who h .d possession of the property, claiming that he had a deed to it from Robinsau dated prior to the one given by Robinson to his law - vi r, thus invalidating not only that tithe, but all subsequent titles which had Leen given. The only way to break this claim was to prove that the deed alleged to be signed by Robinson was a forgery. Aft- er ,t long search Robinson was discover- ed by the attorney for the defense, liv- ing in au obscure town in Texas. He had passed through many wild experi- ences on the frontier and in a personal encounter had received a pistol ball in his right arm, which made amputation n:.cessary. Subsegneutly he had served as county clerk in Missouri, and his sig- nature was thus readily accessible to the forger. Robinson was brought to Kansas City by the defense, and his tes- timony was relied on to prove that the signature attached to the deed was a forgery. When the case came to trial and the deed had been offered in evidence, Rob iuson was placed on the stand. He ex- amined the signature with the greatest care, and to the astonishment and cha- grin of the defense he testified that the writing was his, not a line or dot in the signature differing in the slightest de- gree from his usage. It seemed as though the wily Mr. Reed had gained his case, when the attorney for the defense, tak- ing up the deed, glanced at it a mo- ment, then, dropping it upon the table, he suddenly asked: "Mr. Robinson, when did yon lose your right arm?" "About 15 years ego," was the reply. ''Is your signature to this deed writ- ten with your right or left hand?" "With my left hand." "Did you ever employ your left hand in writing before you lost your right arm?" "Never." "That is all," said the attorney. "Call Mr. Reed to the stand." The plaintiff took the stand, and the attorney handed him the deed. "You swear that this deed was made to you by Mr. Robinson?" "I do, and he has identified his sig- nature," replied Reed triumphantly. "On what date was that paper given?" "It is dated April 10, 1876." "That was six years before he lost his right arm, and yet this deed is signed with his left hand. How do you ac- count for that?" The witness was silent. He turned pale and then attempted to escape from the courtroom. Ho was arrested and held on a charge of forgery. His tech- nic had been perfect—so perfect, in- deed, as to deceive the man whose sig- nature he had forged—but ho had made the mistake of imitating the left hand- ed writing of Robinson and had dated the deed six years prior to his loss of the right arm. Of coarse the suit was decided in fa- vor of the defendant, and at present • Reed is serving a 20 year sentence in the penitentiary for forgery, his fate paralleling that of Ivan Ivanoff, not through lack of "technic," but rather because of his perfection in that matter. —Chicago Times -Herald. A Phyalology Examination. Tho following remarkable physiolog- ical statement occurred in the examina- tion papers of a student in a western school not long since: "The human body is divided into three parts—the head, the chest and the stomach. The head contains the eyes and brains, if any. The chest contains the lungs and a piece of the liver. Tho stomach is de- voted to the bowels, of which there are five—a, e, i, o, u and sometimes w and y. "—Chicago Record, Nerves and Teeth. Bad naives and bad teeth will be found to go together in an extraordinary number of cases.

Good Manners and Harmonious Surroundings. If I wished to teach an awkward child, youth or girl good manners by example, I should send him or her to Florence, says a writer to Truth (Lon- don). There may be ill mannered per -- sons there, but I never saw one. Poor people behave with the suave dignity which used in England to stamp the lady or gentleman. Most persons are brainy, but cleverness is not eager to shine. It is very subdued and more oily than corrosive. The charm of Florence steals on one like the wit of its clever inhabitants. The senses are soothed in all directions by harmonious manners and object& Architects understood chi- aroscuro not less than the great painters and sculptors. One never wearies of the streets and public buildings. Their as- pects constantly and strongly vary, ao• cording to the coarse of the sun. Lights and shades at 10 in the forenoon are wholly different from what they will be at 4 in the afternoon. The Floren- tine women have interesting though not beautiful faces. But ono has - only to walk into the market to sec country girls who would have done for models for Raphaei's Virgin mothers. One is struck in the galleries with the nice judgment with which the pictures are hung. What more lofty in sentiment than the tomb of Lorenzo do' Medici? Loftiness is an attribute of Florentine architecture, palatial or domestic. Tho doors of private houses might pass in England for portals. One feels them to be great facts in their way. Talking of harmonious things re- minds mo of the Boboli gardens. Is there a spot in England, the land of stately and lovely seats, that at all ap- proaches them? In situation and tran- quil, generous loveliness I can only think of one—the Duke of Northumber- land's terraced gardens at his place in Surrey. The Boboli Eden, where the Prince and Princess of Naples still court seclusion, has the advantage over the Surrey paradise of being under a reveal- ing sky. Every shade of greenery, every floral hue, is well brought out. One sees the faultless texture of statues and fountains mellowed by time. In so strong a light a well ordered design is required, and one has it. The marbles are the climax. They aro to the horti- cultural beauties as brilliants to the lace and satin of a fine woman's dress. Florence is not what it was in the grand ducal days. Still, it retains the air of a capital with a long and illus• trious history. The ladies' dresses aro only provincial when measured by the Paris standard, to which Italian wom- en above the peasant class generally submit—more's the pity. Paris fashions only snit Frenchwomen, unless applied by French hairdressers and femmes de chambre. An English or a German face under a Paris bat or bonnet is at a dreadful disadvantage if the hair has not been first dressed by a French art- iste capillaire. Ho places the bat, throygh the medium of the hair, in harmonious relation with the face. I fancy these French coiffeurs aro not much employed by Italian ladies. Blue White Prints. Paper coated with an emulsion, which when printed and toned gives a clear white with a bluish tint in the high lights, may be bought of dealtrs in pho- tographic materials. Tho paper is marked "Pease," which is a mistake, as the correct spelling is "pensee." This blue tone may bo obtained on arts - to paper by toning the prints in a sepa- rate bath and putting a few drops of aniline blue in the fixing bath. Have the tint rather deep, and when the prints aro fixed the whites and high lights will have a clear blue tone. If the picture is a landscape with plenty of clouds in the sky the effect is almost as if the sky had been tinted. Many spots both on prints and nega- tives are due to the dishes used not hav- ing been properly cleansed. Tho trays should be wiped out with a very soft cloth or sponge, and once in a while washed with a little alcohol. A set of labels printed with the names of the different chemicals com- monly in use in the dark room may be had for 10 cents. They come already gummed and are a groat convenience. A convenient little plate lifter is called the "L." It is a tiny contrivance which fits on the side of the tray and saves all danger of scratching the plate in removing it from the tray, and there is no need of putting the fingers into any of the solutions if the "L" is used. With this lifter, instead of rocking the tray during development, the plate is rocked with the lifter.—Harper's Bound Table. Nevada. Nevada is the victim of circum- stances. Rich in the potentialities of material greatness, and therefore strong in the capacity to support a social struc- ture, sho presents tbo baffling paradox of a declining population in a western state. If she were located in South Af- rica, the nations of Europe would plot and struggle for possession of her min- erals, lands and waters; if in New South Wales, the colonial government would employ the public capital to re- claim her deserts and to enable the snr- pine population of Adelaide to make homes upon her soil; if in Germany, the imperial government would charter "rent banks," to operate ander a com- mission, in preparing the land for settle- ment ettlo-ment and building humble houses, to be purchased by home seekers on gener- ous terms; if in Holland, the servants of the little queen would extend the ad- mirable colonies which have flourished for 75 years, graduating thousands of needy mon from beggary to tenantry, from tenantry to proprietorship.—Wil- liam E.

The Paper of the Oxford Bibles. The paper making for Oxford Bibles is a specially important and interesting part of tbo work. At Wolvercote, a mile or two out of Oxford, the university has a large mill for the supply of ita own requirements. A good deal of the paper they turn out here is made out of old ships' sails, the materials of which, after battling with storms in all quar- ters of the world, come here for the purpose of being made auto paper, print- ed in almost every language under heav- en and bound up into volumes to be again scattered far and wide into all the uttermost ends of the earth. This Wolvercoto paper mill has much to do with the great reputation that Ox- ford has acquired in tho production of Bibles and other devotional books. Twenty years ago and more the manage- ment here hit on a valuable invention in paper making, and ever sine() their "India paper" baa been the envy and the puzzle of manufacturers all over tbo kingdom. There are said to be only three persons living who know tho se- cret of its snake, and, though the process has never been legally protected and all the world is free to imitate the extreme- ly thiu, but thoroughly opaque and won- derfully strong and durable, paper of the best Oxford Bibles if they only knew bow, all the world hat hitherto gait() failed to do so. It is as thin as tissue, but perfect- ly opaque and so stroug that a strip of it three inches wide has proved to bo capable of sustaining a quarter of a hun- dredweight. Over 100 works and edi- tions are now printed on this paper. This special advantage bus very largely helped Oxford to retniu the leading po- sition which it originally gained by be- ing nearly the first, if not quite the first, printer of books in the kingdom nod by the prestige of its name.—Chambers' Journal.

An efficient but illiterate domestic servant was brought into serious but happily not fatal danger by ber undue confidence in the deductive system of reasoning. This woman, being unable to read, had long been accustomed to discriminate between the different va- rieties of conned vegetables which her employer supplied not by the names printed on the labels, but by the pic- tures which they bore. This plan served well enough for kitchen needs, and it was only when she tried to combine it with her belief in the homeopathic doc- trine of like cures like that trouble re- sulted. The woman suffered from rheu- matism, and ono rainy day, when her aches were especially severe, she came across a bottle labeled with a few written words and a print of skull and crossbones.

William A. Coffin, the landscape painter, in a lecture on art before a woman's society, made an earnest plea in the furtherance of art for the plant- ing of more trees on our thoroughfares. These play a great part in breaking the lines of our monotonous or often incon- gruous architecture. HIe pointed out that Paris, with n climate ns rigorous as ours, owes its beauty to a great extent to the enrichment that verdure lends it for six months of the year. He counted on the doctors beairing hint out in this plea on account of the sanitary proper- ties foliage possesses. He remarked that while we are waiting for a Baron Haussmann to rehabilitate our thorough- fares and make then yield artistic an- gles we can at least render the vista en- compassed by the eye more agreeable by having it presented through horse chest- nuts and maples.—New York Times. lima. Putnam's Appointment. Mrs. Ellen M. Putnam of Buffalo bas been appointed superintendent of the new ante home for veterans and their wives and army nurses established by the efforts of the Women's Relief corps, which is now almost completed at Ox- ford, N.

The ingenious Frt,nubman who in- vented color pltottagrolly has given the treasury department of the United States a big scam. It is recognized by the watchdogs of the treasuries of the world that if his invention should get into the hands of counterfeiters the financial system of every nation em- ploying notes awe circulating medium would be threatened. Photography bas always been the bane of the officials whose business it is to circumvent the ingenious devices of counterfeiters, and for ten years secret service agents the world over have been watching in fear and tretebiiug for the invention of a proo- ess which would reproduce singly or in combination tbo different colors and tints of the solar prism. Already counterfeiters are able, by means of photo -engraving processes, to make exact dnplirtttes of the backs of bills, whether they bo in green, blue, black or any other Dolor. But the Seale and check numbers, printed over the scroll work of the face in different col- ors, have hitherto thwarted them. They have been obliged to expunge these seals and check numbers with acids. These acids naturally ruined the scroll work below the ovorleid colors, leaving a space which the rogues had to re -en- grave or put in with brush or pen. Tho results of such primitive methods were easily detected by experts. But the col- or photography opens immense possibil- ities in the hands of clever men. Given paper of similar quality—and they make paper tint would deceive an ex- pert—there is nothing to prevent a skillful operator front producing aheo-t lute duplicates in such numbers as be may desire of any banknote extant in the circalatiou of the world.—Detroit Free Press. Modern Medicines. The great improvement in the present as compared with the poet methods of administering medicines deserves a pass- ing comment. Scnrcely a generation ago the threat of a dose of the nauseous drags of the day was sufficient to sup- press the worst of evil propensities is the most wicked boy. When actually in need of medication, he was held in the chair and gagged to exhaustion in the parental anxiety to measure the oapaoity of his nnwilling stomach with the bulky contenta of the justly hated bottle. Fre- quently the struggle had more to do with the perspiration than the medioina Very often, for obvious reasons, tho bot- tle broke before the fever. Castor oil was a punishment, rhubarb watt a terror and senna an abomination. Th(rnauseous mixtures of oar grand- parents aro now replaced by the elegant and almost tasty compounds of modern pharmacy. The essentials of the former medicines aro now given iu the forms of condensed extracts and alkaloids, in pro- portionately reduced bulk and in consist- ently concentrated form. Single reme- dies with special indications take the place of the old fashioned shotgun mix- tures. Tablets, pellets and pills no longer offend the palate, and even qui- nine, the bitterest enemy of taste, now sues for favor in sugar coated armor. Thq irritable stomach which denies tbo usual approach to the internal economy is now diplomatically checkmated by an injection ander the akin, which, al- though a longer way round, is a surer way borne. —Dr. George F. Shrady in Forum. The IBattle of Redonda. Not far from St. 'Stomas, a matter of perhaps 100 miles, was fought the most wonderful naval battle in all history. The Dutch admiral detected the enemy in the surly morning, when the ecu was covered with n thick mist, and his guns opened fire at once without warning. The fire was returned with interest, the ocean fairly quivering with spasms caused by the shock of frequent dis- charges. Somehow or other the enemy's shots, which sounded liko a bombard- ment, seemed to fall short or go wide of the mark, for act even a splash of a ball was heard, and the Dutch ships re- mained unscathed. On the other hand, the Dutch could not see the terrible ex- ecution their gime were doing until nearly the middle of the forenoon, when the fog lifted, revealing to their aston- ished gaze not the vessels o1 the enemy, but a great rock standing out of the sea. They had been firing at it for five hours, and the found of the return shots they heard was the echo from the solid wall of granite. They natrted the place Re- donda, which means sent, rolled or driven back, and Redonda it is to this day.—Now York Press. A Confusion of Names. Although Scotia is now known to mean Scotland, it once was the name of Ireland. Two centuries before the birth of Christ Ireland was known to the Greeks as Juvenca. Comer called it Hi- bernia, as did also Ptolemy in his map of that island. It is said the Phoeni- cians first gave Ireland the name of Hi- bernia, meaning thereby "utmost or last habitation," for beyond that land westward the Phornicians never extend- ed their voyages. Toward the decline of the Roman empire the country began to be called Scotia, a name retained by tbo monastic writers until the eleventh century, when the name Scotia, having passed to modern Scotland, the ancient name of Hibernia began to be again used.—San Francisco Chronicle.

Birthday of the Locomotive. - What has boeu regarded by some as tho birthday of the railway locomotive occurred on Sept. 27, 1825, with Ste- phenson as the father I (lie event, Tho Stockton and I) .,,t iktmn railway bad been built, and, tin'oagh his persistent importunities, laid with iron, instead of wooden rails. It had been intended merely for horse draft, but the inventor prevailed upon tbo owners to allow him a trial of his steam locomotive, etepbenson himself was the driver on that occasion, and, before a tremendous crowd of curious and for the most part incredulous people, be drew a train of nearly 80 wagons, loaded with passen- gers and coal, at a speed of 12 to 15 miles per hour. Thus the first train that ever carried passenger* made its journey in safety, and the enthusiasm of the multitude woe iudescribablo. But, notwithstanding this demonstra- tion, the l000motivo was still unmerci- fully ridiculed by the majority. Nor was this ridieult confined to the ignor- ant classes. The ablest engineers con- tended that it was ridiculous to ',oppose that steam could ever -be practioally em= ployed in competition with horse power for transportation. Almost incredible as it may now seem, it is a foot that politi- cal eoonomists inveighed against the rail- way and the engine as constituting an imaginaryreform.which, even if snooce8. fol—which was very doubtful—would deprive stage driver., teamsters and inn- keepers of their livelihood. It was in the face of an almost Universal opposi- tion, of the wild, unreasouablo kind, that a few men, led by the great Ste- phenson, labored et(radily onward and finally establiebed tato railroad and the locomotive us institutions of tbo land. —North American Review. The Future of Germany. No ono can prophesy the future of Germany. But so much at least seems clear—that it will largely depend on the course punned by the socialists. Three alternatives aeom open to them—they may indefinitely continuo their present opposition to the government, and then they can only be a source of weakness, or they may absorb the empire, trans- forming it into n feudal state, fatal to liberty and therefore unstable, or they may, in return for certain timely con- cessions, plaoo their powerful organiza- tion at the service of the empire and be its chief pillar of strength. This is the consummation that every friend of Germany and of humanity must devoutly wish. It would bring ad- vantage to both sides and put an end to autocracy. The empire would have to abandon its attempt to return to me- direval mi]itarydeapotism and allow ita subjocts largo liberty of thought, speech and action, while the socialista would have to abandon their notion of the state as a mere economic beehive and accept it as tbo great institution for raising man above slavery to physical needs in- to spiritual freedom and culture In this way Germany might bo strong without being enslaved, and the present condi- tion of things, against which all thoughtful men rebel, might comp to au end.—Professor Thomas Davidson in Forum. Getting Them Up. "There is only one succeed -al way of getting a man up early," nays a hotel clerk. "We have to send a boy to his door who will knock until ho hears, and then toll him that there is a tele- gram for him. That always brings a commercial man out at once, and as soon as ho opens the door for the tele- gram we just say, 'Sir, it is 7:80 o'clock' Ho will slam the door shut with tbo biggest sort of an oath and tear about tho room as mad as a wild bull. That wakes him up pretty thor- oughly, and ho comes down stairs feel- ing so sheepish that ho doesn't say a word. Wo practice that deception every, morning. We've got to. Tho other morn- ing we awoke a man in that way after trying the boll repeatedly. He was mad at first, but when ho oamo down stairs he said it would have coat him $500 if be had missed his train."—New York Tribune. Stevens and Maynard. Thaddeus Stevens was once opposed in debate by Horace Maynard of Tennessee. Maynard was very tall and straight and had long black hair which he wore well down over his coat Dollar, and which gave him somewhat the appearance of an Indian. It was even rumored that to had some aboriginal blood in his vein t. Maynard prided himself on his scholar- ly attainments, and at the close of tis address be quoted one or two Latin verses. Old Thad replied to Maynard's argument in his usual vigorous mannan and then paused for a few seoonds until ho had mewed the attention of the en- tire house. Turning to Maynard, whc sat some distance behind him, ho de- livered this parting shot: "So much for .the gentloman'e English. As to Lis Choctaw, I do not proton* to understand it. "—San Francisco Argonaut. Rewards That Are Sure, but Slow. "The rewards of honesty and un- swerving principle are sometimes slow, but that in the end they aro sure and greater for their slow coming admits of no question," writes Edward W. Bok in "Problems of Young Men" in The Ladies' •Homo Journal. "Our princi- ples are sometimes severely tested, but this testing is given ua with a purpose. Holding fast to honorable principles is the basis upon which all sure successes aro built. Some have to pass through more firo than others, but I firmly be- lieve that the reward iu the end is greater to those What the world says of a man matters little in such a strug- gle. It is the great inner satisfaction which comps to a mann that counts."

Way Trees Arirlibilaaoed. A tree grows in perfect balance ou every gide. When a large branch shoots out on one side, ono of equal sial or two smaller appear on the other. The roots are balanoed in the Ramo way, a large branch on one side being matched by a large root. The center of gravity is thus always perfectly maintained.—Bodes Bakst. Du liaatieri Jolts tab. Du Maurier has been much written about in the Fats by men pretending to be bis most intimate friends, though in • one or two conspicuous instances the family of the late lamented were rather surprised at this presumption. Ono of Du Maurier's institutions was a pair of vases which ho called his "joke pots." He used to receive a large number of contributions from English and Ameri- can friends, all purporting to be true and worthy of an illustration by biro. I know at least several instances where friends of mine have sent him texts which he very soon afterward used to good advantage. As these contributions arrived he threw them into one of these "joke pots" by way of filling --a new kind of pigeonhole. Then when a mo- ment arrived in which ho had to scratch his bead for a subject, he would dip his band, or rather his arm, into this lot- tery and fish up one contribution after the other until he found ono that might be regarded as a prize ticket. In order that be might insure himself against repetition be observed tho rout- ine of never putting a contribution back into the same "joke pot" from which ho had extracted it, Put deposited it in tho s000nd vase, until the first ono had been cleared. Then ho attacked the sec- ond one and emptied all the lottery slips back into the first, and so on, daily weeding out the worthless ones anti re- freshing his memory as to thoeo best adapted to his purpose. The fact that these two "joke pots" were kept so well supplied by friends who volunteer- ed their contributions is in itself ample, testimony to the personal charm widely exercised by this warm hearted master of black and white.—Harper's Weekly. Boiled Potatoes. Pare potatoes with a sharp vegetable knife, just as thin as possible, for that part of the tuber lyiug close to the akin is richest in mineral sake, and put each potato as peeled into a pan of cold wa- ter to prevent discoloration. Have ready meanwhile a kettle of boiling water, and when the peeling process is com- plete take the potatoes front the cold water, and, covering them with boiling salted water, set them on the range. covered, to boil. Twenty minutes will usually suffice, but to test them ase a skewer or fork, and when they can be pierced easily remove at once fsom the fire, pour ori all the water and set them on the back of the range, uncovered, to steam dry, assisting that process ooca- sionally by a slight shaking of the ket- tle. If one asks the reason why potatoes abould always be cooked in boiling wa- ter, try the following, experiment for proof: Take two cups, in each of which bas been put a teaspoonful of ordinary starch. Pour over one a quarter of a capful of boiling water and over the other the same quantity of cold water and observe the result. The one avec which the boiling water was poured stays in shape, a compact mass, while the one with the cold water dissolves into a soft paste. The potato is largely composed of starch, and from this trial any one may draw his own conclusions. If yon wish a pulpy, watery potato, use cold water; but if a dry, mealy, snowy ball that would delight the heart of Epicurus himself, always rise boiling water.—New York Commercial. Hakluyt's Leal. Tho great work of Hakluyt is the "Principal Navigations, in three folio volumes, a monument of useful labor. Nothing could stop or daunt him when there was a chance of obtaining new information. Ho rode 200 miles to have, an interview with the last survivor of Master Here's expedition to America in 1586. He saved numerous jeurnals and narratives from destruction and the deeds they record from oblivion. His work gave a stimulus to colonial and to maritime enterprise, and it inspired our literature. Shakespeare owed much to Hakluyt's "Principal Navigation&" Milton owed much mote. As the years passed on Richard Haklnyt, in his own quaint language, continued "to wade still further and further in the sweet studio of the historic of cosmographic," and be achieved bis great task, which was, in his own words, "to incorporate into one body the torn and scattered limbs of our ancient and late naviga- tions by sea." He declared geography and chronology to be the sun and moon, the right eye and the left of all his- tory. --Geographical Journal. For Summer Lounging. Just now, with slimmer on its way, big, luxurious chairs in rattan begin to look inviting. Otto comfortable, 000l looking affair is enameled in gray green and has cushions of the same color in china silk attached to it Other chairs are painted wood brown, some aro forest given and some are red. The cushions are sometimes covered in denim and sometimes in cool, striped, slippery Indian grass cloth. For the summer drawing room spin- dling chairs are pretty and dainty look- ing, even though they do not seem par- ticularly useful. Still there's not much to be said in favor of the little chairs, even though the various monarchies are held responsible.

And there was an odd sound in ber voice. "Twenty pounds." "Done!" she said, to the astonish- ment of the roots. "It's a bet!'' Every one sat up and bristled with delighted curiosity. Maisie, of all people, who in- variably treated her swains with a good tempered score that was the envy of her friends! "I wi11 do it now!" she went on ex- citedly. "Mabel, give enc those tele- graph forms. Of coarse I won't under- take to carry out the contract if any one accepts," she added. "No, no; but a Boma fide proposal!" She then sat down ,and addressed seven telegrams and dispatched them by the maid. "Reply paid," she said. "And now we'll have tea." "What have you done?" questioned Mrs. Hamlin. "I have asked seven men to marry me." " Maisie l" "Well, seven gentlemen will hardly be able to think that I ani pining for them all, and they'll exchange notes." "Men never do that." "Ah, what men never do that surely man always does," she laughed. "Hon- or with theist is a collective virtue that has no application in the singular. Yon shall read the answers." In duo course of time the answers carne. One l.s one the girl opened them before her expectant friends, who re- fused to go till all llad come. "Regrets," quoted Maisie, holding up one with mock gravity. "Next, please. Ah, thank you, _Susan! 'Sorry, previous en- gagement.' 'Alas! impossible!' 'Cir- cumstances over which 1 have no con- trol!' 'I would if I trend, hat I can't!' 'No!' That's rather impolite, and ho really—well, ono mustn't be kissed and tell. 'Twas so long ago too. Yon see, ladies, how devoted my lovers all are. But I have won my bet. Ah, here is an- other; one more polite refusal! No! 'Of course I an, honored,' " she read. A crimson flush of shame•spread over the girl's laughing face. "That's chivalrous of him," she said, trying to hide her embarrassment. "And now to invent a polite refusal to my own proposal." • Horace Sands was in chambers when Miss Maisie's telegram—reply paid— arrived. He was sinoking a cigarette with \itis Welby. They generally smok- ed together after lunch in a kind of sympathetic sireeuce. He read it slowly, then went out of the room. On return- ing his friend noticed an expression of most pathetic woe upon his placid features, and such a hangdog look that he refrained from putting any questions from fear of intruding on private mat- ters. Horace, however, after some fidget- ing, said, "You know after all it's a dreadful thing, but what could a fellow do? She's a charming girl of course, but I didn't think of exactly—in fact, I am not a marrying pian, you know. I never thought of marrying—don't know any- thing about it." "If you'll .explain what yon aro talk- ing about, I may be able to understand." "Well, the fact is, Miss Maisie wired and asked me, don't you know, and I, of course"— "Asked yon what?" "Well, 1 suppose I oughtn't to say," he said, suddenly flushing crimson. "Did sho propose to you?" asked Welby with an incrouulous look of amusement. "Answer paid too. The devil she did! And you have accepted?" "What else would you have me do?" returned Sands stolidly. a For the next few days Horace Sands experienced a general sense of bewilder - ng depression. He was an engaged man—to a very lovely girl, it was true, but nevertheless he was engaged, tied np, as it were—somebody's property. He must buy presents and rings an think of furniture. Never in his life ha A Chug, nab Oat, d There is in New York city a little ho thought about furniture. Even a college he had not, as many of the men did, troubled how his diggings were ar ranged. He passed a nuns iu the street carry ing a kitchen safe. Ho tried to -thin what a safe was meant for and realized that they would certainly have to hav a safe. Some perambulators in n gam shop caught his eye, and he blushed ant looked obstinately on the other side o the road. He had postponod calling—h had not dared yet. Ho would never sum mon courage to behave as a lover shonh to such a wonderful piece of feniiininity He remembered now that her eye were gray and serious and laughing al at once; that she had a delightful, pet plant mouth. The thought of her wa sweet. The reality at present was terri lying. He could not yet face his betroth ed. He must have time to get used t himself under these new conditions. Another day passed. On the fourth he dressed himself in a frock coat, adorned his buttonhole with a bouquet and start- ed for her house. When he arrived as far as the street in which she lived, he turned round and went to the club. There was a note from her—three days old. Again he flushed and thrust it into his pocket. Ho went out, and in the busy traffic of the streets read his 11'14 love letter from Maisie: Demur M. ',ANDS—ROW chivalrous and nice of you: 0 was a but, you know. He did not read any more, but strode homeward. He had been a pretty kind of fool anyhow—n vain ass too. As if a beautiful girl like that—then he began to Laugh. At any rate, he was free again —free! But somehow he wasn't quite sure that he wanted to bo so very free. The furniture had begun to interest hits. They met the next evening at Lady Vaughan's. She received him with a very bright snails, and they danced. They danced several tunes, and thou he said at the cud, "I suppose you couldn't care for mo, could you?" And she ool- ored all over and said, "Oh, no, I couldn't—not anyhow in the worlds" Fate threw them together. They con- stantly met. She tried to avoid him, but ho would not let her, and she ceased at lust to try. At the end of three months he again asked hor to bo his wife. The tears crept into her eyes then, and she said, "You are very kind and chivalrous, and I ani veru grateful, but I can't—indeed I can't!" So that he went away conscious that there was a barrier between them ho could not break down. Ho went abroad with Welby and proved a preposterously dull companion. "Slee will never have me," he said ono day irrelevantly. "I believe it's all because of that confounded telegram." "Most likely." "What shall I do?" "Forget her." "That's what I have been trying to do, but she's crept somehow into my heart, and I can't. " "Wire, then!" "What?"

Maisie was sitting with Mrs. Hamlin, and her pretty face was even paler than on the memorable occasion of the send- ing of the telegrams. "Ah," elle said, "it is a pity! I care for him so much— so much—and it could never be now, Could it?" "It's rather difficult," said Mrs. Hamlin. "How mad of us all to have let you do itl We didn't realize till the things wero gone.

The girl sat down upon her heels upon the floor and looked first into the fire and then at Mrs. Hamlin. "I think I ought to be polite. Don't you?" she said. "Ho was to mo." "Yes," said Mrs. Hamlin, "I think you should be polite." And Miss Maisie was.—Westminster Budget. Fooled the Policeman. A collier, whose bent is toward pigeon flying, went to Bolton tho other day, carrying, of course, a bird with him in a bag. He was just about to toss up the pigeon in tbo town hall square when a policeman came up to him and told him that ho must not toss it np there. "Why not?" asked tho collier. "Because it is forbidden, and I shall have to lock yon up if you do." Tho collier, with the usual sharpness of his kind, thereupon took the pigeon out of the bag, set it on the ground, stroked its wings and said to it: "Aw corn'd toss thi np hero, so thou man walk whoam; dos't yer? theau man walk whoam." • Tho bird, of course, rose in the air, leaving the policeman ,simply petrified with astonishment—London Telegraph. Brains Bigger Than Man's. According to Professor Max Weber of Amsterdam, the only animals which surpass man in the absolute weight of their brains are elephants and whales, but there aro several that rank ahead of him in the ratio of the brain weight to the total weight of the body. All of these, however, are comparatively small animals. Among them are many mon keys and certain members of the squir- rel and mouse families. No animal of greater bodily size than mifn llaua a brain which is relatively las large acs Iris. Up- on the whole it seems that t mnu's men- tal superiority is due rather to the qual- ity uud organization than to the size of his brain. A Brand From the limning. After the German invasion an officer of the Tnrkos could not settle down into civic life, but went off to Africa on an exploring expedition. In ono of tho Live villages on the Niger he saw an in- telligent, bright looking lad tied np, and on inquiry found that he was being fat- tened for a feast which was in contem- plation in which he was to appear roast- ed. He bought the lad for a case of Old Tom gin and brought him back to Paris, whore he was sent to school, astonishing everybody by his capacity. He has just died in that city, closing a history in which bis rescue shines is the most memorable incident~ Meanwhile tho Irishman slept on. At lost the hair was out and brushed, and the barts'r exclaimed: "Ach, dat is goot You looks jooet like von gentleman." With a start the man of Ireland awoke and gave a glance in tho mirror. "Say, Germany, did 01 ask yes to out my hair?" "Yah, dot's vet Ido." "What's that? Did Oi say Oi wanted my hair cut? Did Oi?" "Yell, yah! Dot's right." With a rush the Irishman grabbed him by the collar. "Look here, Germany. Oi said Oi wanted it hair cut. That's ono hair—do yez hear?—the long wan that was hang - in in front. For what do yez want to be cuttiu all of thin? Oi'll have the law on yez at once fer that." And with a wrathful countenance he slapped on his hat and left the place before tho as- tonished barber could recover from his fright. When the rollicking Irish wit turned the corner, he waA heard to remark, "Faith, that's n chats) way to git a .lair cut. "—Harper's Round Table. Tho First Teacups. Even after tea was introduced into Europe and had comp into geuoral use teacups were scarce. At the same time coffee was introduced, but apart from Constantinople the first coffee cups in Europe date back only out far as 1045 in Venice, 1050 in Paris, 1052 in Loudon and 10414 iu LeiPstc . From tbo flirt, however, the enuvelttioual oriental cof- fee cup, without stem or handle, was little used, and in Gorniany not at all. The Chinese teacup was used for tea, coffee and chocolate as well. Specimens of porcelain were undoubtedly intro- duced into Europe in the middle ages, yet not till tho sixteenth century were cups imported from China in any great quantities, and even then it ens as ar- ticles of vertu. Most of these found their way back to Chinn again, as col - lo o'ting porcelain is a lasting fad there, and high prices aro paid for good spec- imens. The collection of Chinese porce- lain, if only the genuine specimens are desired, requires immense study and knowledge, as tho Chinese are skillful imitators and put numerous falsifica- tions ou the market.—Jewelers' Circu- lar.

Fomiolcd in the year 1800 by the mod- est appropriation of $5, 000 "for the pur chase of such books as may he necessary for the use of congress at the said city of Washington," this collection bas grown, notwithstanding the ravage); of two fires, to the present aggregate of 740,000 volumes. The acquisition of the Jefferson library in 1815, the Force Historical library in 1805, the Smith- sonian library in 1807 and the Toner collection in 1882, all constituted spe- cially important and valuable secessions to its stores. And by the enactment of the copyright law of 1870, followed by i the international copyright act of 1891, this library became entitled to receive two copies of all books, periodical) and other publications claiming tho protec- tion of copyright in the Uuited States. —A.

A Queer Egg Story. An ostrich egg with a romantic his- tory is the curiosity owned by ism Mario Lopez of 415 South Forti tit street. The egg waspresented to Lopez by Joseph Pulsiver, to whom it was sent by hie brother, who is super- intendent of an ostrich farm in South &trice. Accompanying the egg was the following letter !mu the sender:: "I send the ostrich egg and know your longing for peculiar curiosities wi11 re. oeivo a boom when you learn its bis - tory. We had a man on the farm named Carr, who was noted for his skill in breeding and raising ostriches. Ile had raised the mother of the egg I send, aud ale had been oneof his greatest pet" This was thought strange, as Rho wan known to be a savage bird and would allow no one but Carr to go near her. Breed- ing time came, and the ostrich was soou watching over a setting of eggs. Our farm hatches artificially, the eggs being removed from tho mother and placed iu au incubator. Carr was the ono selected to secure tho eggs, ou account of bis groat oommand over the bird. He enter- ed the pen and began picking np the eggs. In an instant the treacherous pot became furious and started to strike him with her powerful foot. Wo had to shoot the mother before wo could get ber away and then found we were oo late, Carr's skull having been battered in. In tbo struggle all the eggs were broken, with the ono exception, which I send to you. "—Pbiilldelphia Record. Ifs Sentimentalism In It.

Sportsmen have their trophies mount- ed in all sorts of fashions. One way of using a deer's feet is to have them mounted for a gnu rack.

Sometimes such gun racks are made with a simple pair of feet for one gun ; sometimes to bold two guns, and the doer's horns are mounted above, as a support for fishing rods. --New York Sun.

Once upon it time there was a queen who was so advanced that the king was quite out of it, She sot are example of female independence to her subjects by going long journeys on her bicycle, un- encumbered by any court train. She be- came so enthusiastic about female wheeling that she built three bicycle tracks. On the first there was a hedge 100 yards thick, on the second a pond 100 yards wide, and on tho third a lad- der 100 yards high, and she decreed that no girl should marry the crown prince unless she rode her bike through the hedge, across the pond and up and down the ladder. Many girls tried, but all failed; the crown prince remained sin- gle, and at last t to tracks were over- grown with weeds for want of use. One day the queen went out on her bicycle alone, as usual, and lost her way. Night came on, and she was glad to find shelter in a lonely cottage where dwelt a woman and her daQghter. The daughter was very beautiful—a wise woman bad foretold that she would ride over the three tracks and marry the crown prince, but she had once met a handsome young huntsman in the for- est and vowed she would never many any one but him, so s}re refused to learn to bike at all. Tho mother was a clever arid ambi- tious woman. She knew the queen at once by her profile, which was on all the penny pieces, and besides eho wore the great seal on her finger to prevent the king from misusing it in her ab- sence. But the mother kept her own counsel and treated the queen s.8 a stranger, setting before her the beat food there was in the house for Ripper. When the queen had finished her meal, she noticed how lovely the girl was and said to the mother, "Is your daughter fit for anything?" Tbo woman replied, "She is the champion lady bi- cyclist of the whole world." "Oh, in- deed," said the queen, "and, pray, why does she not ride over the three tracks and win the hand of the crown prince?" "Because," answered the motner, ''abe is too independent to run after any man." "I never thought of that," ob- served the queen, and pulling a ciga- rette out of her case she full a -smoking. When the girl went out to wash np the supper things, the queen asked, "Can't you persuade ypur daughter to ride over the three tracks just to show how superior we women are?" "Yes," replied the mother, " but she must have three things." "Name them," said the queen. " Sho must have a pavilion built, opening on to the tracks, from which she must start and to which she must return after each round, without any ono being allowed to speak to her." "Why?" asked the queen. "Because every man that speaks to her wants her to speak to him, and she despises such a waste of time," replied the mother. "Ohl" said the queen. "Next she must have three riding suits, ono for each track, and each suit mast have a veil to match, for her to wear when she rides." "Why?" asked the queen. "Because every man who looks at her and sees how beautiful she is tries to make her look at him," replied the mother. "Hum l" said the queen. "Lastly, I must go with her, and so mast her three uncles." "Why?" asked the queen. "Becanso she will have to ride so hard that she will wear out a bicycle on each track, and rho must have always a fresh one ready, with an uncle to oil it and to have it in good working order." "Hal" said the queen. "Do yon know, my good woman, that I am your rightful sovereign?" "I never thought of that," replied the mother. "Bet it is so," said the queen, "and I command yon to bring your daughter to my three tracks this day week, when everything you ask for shall be granted. " "It shall be as your majesty com- mands," replied the woman. So on a day the mother and daughter started for the tracks, and the girl walked flrst, singing as elle went for the very joy of life. Presently they met a man riding on a bicycle with bis oyes shut "Good morning, uncle!" cried the girl. But the woman asked, "Why do yon ride with your eyes shut?" And the man an- ewered, "Because I am so keen of sight that I cannot help seeing my way through the tiniest crack on the ground, and if I keep my eyes open I should go 'down to the very center of the earth." "That is good," said the mother. "Will you help my daughter to win the crown prince for a husband?" "That will I." said the man, "for uo girl ever called mo uncle before." Soon they met another man riding a bicycle with his feet on the fork& "Good morning, uncle!" cried the girl But the mother asked, "Why do you ride with your feet oil the forks?"_ And the man answered, "Because T pedal eo '.het that I skim over the ground, and 00 one could get out of ury wny if I pat I my feet on the treadles." "That is bet - Iter," said the mother. "Will you help my daughter to win the crown prince for tt husbuud?" "That will 1," said the man, "for no girl ever called me uncle before." Before long they met a third man riding n bicycle, with his hands In his pockets, "Good morning, uncle," cried the girl. But the mother naked, "Why do you ride with your hands in your pockets?" And the men answered, "Be - cease mJ, grip is eo strong that I should lift my bike over the trees and up and down the telegraph posts if I used my hawk" "That is best," snid the moth- er. "Will you help my daughter to win the crown prince for n husband?" "That will I," said the man, "for no girl ever called me uncle before." "Nott I have enough uncles," snid the girl. "The next strnuger I meet shall be my cousin." But they stet no ono else, for all the world had gone to the tracks. Only when they reached the pavilion they saw a smart young soldier pacing up and down. "(-icxxl morning, cousin," cried the girl. °Good morn- ing, cousin," replied the smart young soldier, and he gnvo her a hearty kiss. "How dare you?" cried the another in a rage. "Cousins always kiss," replied the smart young soldier. The uncles looked at each other and said, "Wenev- er thought of that." But the girl hlush- ed and said nothing, for the smart young soldier was the stone handsome young huntsman whom she had vowed should be her husband. "And now I must leave you," said the smart young soldier, and he marched off, rvhlsthug "Tho Girl I Left Behind Me." Then they prepared for the first ride and dressed the first encle in a crimson snit and put on him a veil of gold em- broidery that glittered like the sun. The signal sounded, and they opened the pavilion door, and the first uncle sped out like the wind told kept his eyes shut till ho carne to the hedge that•wns 100 yards thick. and there he opened them and saw his way through in a trice, and so, shutting his eyes again, ho sped round the track to the other door of the pavilion. Now they dressed the second uncle iu a suit of dark bine and put on him a suit of silver filigree work that glisten- ed like moonbeams. And he flew out of the door like a bird and kept his feet on the forks till he crone to the pond that was 100 yards across, but then ho put his feet on the treadles and skimmed over the water without even splashing it, and so, coming to the other side, bo put his feet on the forks again and flew around the track to the other door of the pavilion. Tho third uncle had a suit of black velvet, but as there were no pockets for him to put his hands into they were forced to cut a slit on either side in- stead. His veil was of black lace, span- gled with diamonds which sparkled like the stars on a frosty night, and when the door of the pavilion opened ho shot forth like lightning, with his bands in the slits of his suit, but as soon as he carne to the ladder that was 100 yards high he took hold of the han- dles and darted upend down the ladder in a twinkling, and so, putting his bands in the slits again, ho whirled round the track to the other door of the pavilion. You may bo euro there was n great shouting and a mighty rush of people toward the pavilion of the champion lady bicyclist of the world, but a line of soldiers barred the way, and only fell back to let the crown prince and bis retinue gallop past. - And when he got to the door, ever so much before his followe ic, ho found the mother standing and Watching. She saw at a glance that ho was the smart young soldier who had met them in the morning, but she pretended not to know him. Little ho cared as, leaping from his horse, bo rushed into the room, where ho found the girl dressed in her ordinary clothes and looking more bean- tiful than over. The retinue crowded in enc] stood by the door, but the prince ran up to her and, opening his arms, cried: "Dearest, I have loved you ever since we met in the forest. Will you bo my bride?" The girl hung her head, for she was frightened when she saw all this gran- deur and knew that her lover was a prince. But her mother said, "Kings always caress." "I never thought of that," said the girl, and fell into the prince's embrace. So they were married, and of course the three uncles were asked to the feast, and then for the first time the prince looked away from his bride and saw how odd looking they were, and ho asked the first uncle, "How did you get such projecting eyes and that hard, fixed gaze?" And the first uncle an- swered, "By skimming, by skimming, by skimming." Then the prince aaked the second uncle, "How did you get that monstrous flat foot'?" And the sec- ond unelo replied, "By scorching, by scorching, by scorching." Then the prince aakod the third uncle, "How did yon get that hideous, huge band?" And the third uncle answered, "By skopping, by skopping, by skopping." "Skimming, scorching, skoppingl" said the prince. "I don't know what yon mean." Then the mother explained: "May it please your royal highness, my eldest brother has the oyole oye, that comes from always looking miles ahead, which is called skimming; my second brother has the cyclo foot, which comes from al- ways pedaling as hard a8 he can, which is called scorching, and my youngest brother has the oyclo hand,which conies of always steadying the machine over upas an! downs, which, s.8 it is some- thing between skippiug and hopping, is palled skopping. Some people who bi- cycle a very great deal have all these three peculiarities." "I never thought of that," said the prince, and, turning to his bride and seeing how beautiful she was, ho cried, "Yon shall never ride a bicycle again."

He is healthy looking, long legged and gaunt, and n broad brimmed felt hat and drooping black mantacho seem in keeping with his swinging gait and odd, drawling accents.

The Latest Scientific Explanation of Its Origin and Purpose. Where did the cannel get its hump? Be it known that camels did not originally have humps on their backs. So says Professor Cattaneo of the Ital- ian Institute of Science. Tbo proof that they did not and the explanation of why they have them now is given by this savant in a recently published monograph, which is the result of sci- entific) study of the subject. The Ilama is known to have been used as a boast of burden centuries bo - fore the discovery of the western hemi- sphere, but itis asserted that thousands of years before the first llama carried a load upon its back the camel had been domesticated and was used for tho trans- portation of burdens. It is upon this point that the Italian savant rests his theory as to the forma- tion of that animal's bump. In the be- ginning, Ito says, the camel, like the llama, was straight of back, but 100 centuries, perhaps, of making a pack animal of the camel have brought about the change. At first the akin grew loose upon the camel's baok. Then there and upon its knees the akin grew thick and callous. Soon nature began to pad this burdened part with fat and muscle, then for countless generations heredity did its work. Little by little the bump grew, until it finally acquired its present sin. The use of the camel in the desert places of the world also played its part in the formation of this portion of iti anatomy. For, being forced to go with- out food for days ata time, nature came to the reseno of the camel and provi- dently *stored these humps with fat which should nourish tho beast through its periods of privation.—New York Journal.

MoOul- lagh for a position as reporter on Tho Globe -Democrat. in 1885, I had been ported about his detestation of dudes and wore an old Bait—clean, bat almost threudbare. I had letters of r000m- mendatiou from Colonel Burke of Tho Timex-Domoerat and from Colonel Do - reams of tho Dallas New., which I hold in my hoed, ready for his inspection. I made my spaerh, rather diaawcerted by the cool, calonlatfng manner in which ho inspoctod me while doing so, and then handed him my "credentials." He glanced at the signature!, without readiug the content/ of either of the let- ters, picked np a slip of instruction, and told me to report the murder of Joe Robxdeaux, a Frenchman who had been murdered a few minutes before in the French quarter, and then carefully placed my beloved "papers" in his pocket, without a word of explanation. Three hours later I htmded him a very carefully written report of the murder, giving all of thu details, which would have flllcd two columns, preceded by my own "scans beads" in 81x eectiolle, giving all of the principal facts i11 short sentences. Next morning I found that my report had been "killed" ut the "enacting datum," for the report appeared in an article about two inches long under a small head, "Foully Murdered," with all the rest of my "scaro'heade" printed, word for word, exactly as I had written them, as the body of tho item. Notaword of the report appeared. It was a beautiful Christmas morn- ing, but I will never forget my feelings as I rend that little item. I felt utterly crushed, and if I had had my letters Mr. McCullagh would never have seen me again. I wandered around the hotel corridors until time to report, when I presented myself before "Little Mack" and asked for the return of the letters. To my unspeakable surpriso and intense delight ho gave me an immediate as- signment for spocial work, handed mo a huge bundle wrapped in wrapping pa- per, and while holding this package, the contents of which wenn unknown to me, he proceeded to give ino instruc- tions and detail all of my failings in blunt but very lucid sentences, wind- ing up like the crack of *whip with, "Put throes+ clothes on and report for duty in one hour." My bead was actu- ally swimming when I loft the mom. Tbo package contained a complete outfit, including shoes, shirt, under- wear, collar, do and ono of the best fitting snits I ever wore, the total Dost of which could not have been mnoh leas than t$50.

Lord Rosebery's horoscopo has been drawn, or cast, or whatever may be the proper term, by the editor of "Zad- kiel's Almanac," and not least inter- esting of the astrologer's statements is his assertion that the computations were mado "by permission." As his lordsbip has not been moved to deny this it may be regarded as true and adds credibility to Augusta; J. C. Hare's revelations as to the treed toward supernaturalism which marks the British aristocracy. Most of the so called horoscope is aheer gibberish, but it oontains a few amnm- ing sentences and a few prophecies defi- nite enough to be dangerous to the maker. "Zadkiol" says that Mars has dominion over Lord Rosebery's mind, and he quotes Claudius Ptolemy, who- ever he may be, as declaring that the "influences of this star render men noble, imperious, versatile, powerful in intellect, acute, self reliant, stern and able in government " Jupiter and Mer- cury also took a hand in the favored statesman's destiny, and thus "config- uration," it appears, makes a person "fit for much business, fond of learn- ing, public orators, temperate, skillful in couusol, politic, beneficent, able in government." The evil influenoo was Saturn. This star "marred the publio career of Lord Rosebery and brought him many sinister and bitter enemies, oven among his own party." That was cruel of Saturn, but better days aro coming. "His lordship's fifty-third year," says "Zadkiol," "will bring some good directions into operation, promising advancement and suooese. Ho has a very good chance of winning the Derby on the 2d of Juno next with his fine colt Velasquez." Thus is astrol- ogy rednoed to the giving of racing tips.—New York Times.

The senora told mo it was a common diah in Mmzioo during the maturity of certain berries the juice of which was need to oosgnlate the milk. After supper she sent ono of the boys with me to abow me the plant, and I identified it as a solanum, ap- parently Solanum carolinenee. Of Anne all fruit acids will curdle milk, but tbi fruit contains practically no acids, its taste being about the same as that of the fruit of the common potato, a close- ly related species of solanum. "I therefore infer that the complete coagulation of the milk in the case re- ferred to was effected by a substance contained in the fruit which acts as rennet does, which action chemists re- gard as that of a kind of ferment In eating the curd I could detect no taste of the berries or of any kind of acid. It had mach the taste of fresh curds, with which I was familiar in my boy- hood day. nn a Now England farm." A Discreet EsUaaato.

The mere fact that a (town or 20 whteelulen are off together for a day's ruu does not give thein tm• right to take possession of tory country hotel they may step at for dinner, nor dors it give them the right to take possession of the road along which they are riding, nor the right to ie•conu' noisy and trouble- some to the people whom they may meet either on the road or where they atop. There have been so many ill ' twice* of late in tb• r icinity of largo cities where ti dere n lo,anig men, iudi• vidually well bred and genth'ntunly, have made themsely, s so disagreeable that hotels and stopping places have been oblige] to make certain rules, such as preventing the wheelmen from coin- ing lute the dining roma in bicycle cos- tume or from sitting in the public rooms, except perhaps the cafe, for the proprietors have found that the moment the members of a party dress in civilian o ostume they atgaie realize' theit re- ' aponsibility us iudividals to tbo com- sanity, and that while they remain in their bicycle costume they semi to think they have no responsibility whatsoever. This fort of behavior do's more harm to the general bicycling fraternity than eau be well estimated. A few men go- t ing to a place and staking thennselres obnoxious to all there will spoil that particular house for bicyc?Ists for many a day to corse. The others aro treated like intruders. Each ono is shunned by to for e' plop fear he is another of the first gang. Regulations such as the above are leveed up in plain view, making him, so to speak, a restricted px•rsou, and in general many quiet }, 'ople who aro fond of bicycling trips ha' ' their pleasure marred simply from this lack of responsibility on the part of a few who have preceded them.—liarper's Round Table. France and American Students. The Sorbonne is by vo means satisiied with simply allowing its students to listen to courses of lectures. It therefore provides on a large scale a srstrm of o onfvrences or roues femmes, which are designed to drill the student in six cial problems and questions, as well as for explaining and developing in detail those subjects which the professor can- not fully dwell npoa in his regular course. The instruction ben, is giveu•+_s mostly by assistant professors, belt it must not be lu:errt d from this title that they are tyros in science. In the depart - went of mathematics khe teachers at the Sorbonne include meg who, in addi- tion to holding n very blah rank among the mathematicians of the world, have displayed that force and elegance in treating their subject which has long been a feature of French science and who have prepared textbooks unequaled for clearness and precision. Heretofore admission to these courses has been mostly confined to holders of the French baccalaureat, but there is no regulation absolutely requiring this qualification. If any American student who has taken his bachelor's degree wishes to enroll himself at the Sorbonne as a student, ho will experience no dif- ficulty except that arising from the in- creasing numbers who flock thither for instruction. At a conference at which the writer was present the number at- tending was so great that any individ- ual must have felt himself somewhat at a disadvantage.—Professor Simon Newcomb in Forum. A Long tired Bird. Tho following instance of longevity in a bird may be of interest to your readers: My cousin, Mrs. C., had a siekin given to her in 1881. It had been bought at a dealer's in 1879. In the autumn of 1884 it escaped out of the window while flying about Mrs. C.'s dressing room, as it had been in the habit of doing every morning. Every effort was made to get it back, but it ?mould not be found. Mrs. C. went away for the winter and did not return until the following spring. Her gardener then told her that during the winter u siskiu bad squeezed itself into a cage of his which was hanging outside his cottage. Tbo siskiu was sent up to Mr& C. and evinood the greatest delight at seeing his mistress. In fact, there is no doubt that it was her bird. From that dnv until its death in September, 1896, it could never be induced to leave its cage, though the door was often left open on purpose.—Loudon Spectator. John Brown'. Ancestor. It seems that John Brown of Ossa- watomio had a narrow escape of not be- ing boat, for Winslow tells how his Mayflower ancestor, Peter Browne, the carpenter, with John Goodman, wan- dered off in the Plymonth woods ono day in January, 1021, and lost their way chasing a deer and wen' cat all night, hearing the lions roar and al- most freezlug their feet Finally, "it pleaeod God, from a high hill they dis- covered" Sagniah and Clark's island in the bay, and mo got back to the "rando• voua," as Winslow terms the fort on, Burial bill, "faint with travel and`. want of victuals and almost famished! with oold." !ad they never come in` Kansas might now be a slave state, but it was otherwise ordered.—Boston Let- ter to Springfield (Maas,) Republican. umbrettas.

We have always to a certain extent looked up to the venerable editor of The Anoka Union with the same ven- eration as Telemachus regarded Men- tor, and it may well be imagined how much to heart we took the stern re- proof administered to us by him last week, a denunciation which we repro- duce textually elsewhere for the ben- efit of those of our readers who, like ourselves, have looked upon the ac- tion of the commission for locating a new asylum as of doubtful validity and certainly a trifle off color. Our esteemed contemporary at the mouth of the Rum should have born in mind, however, that we have never decried the Anoka site, which is undoubtedly the one best suited to the needs of Isanti County, but we simply objected as strenuously as we could to the vacillating shifty policy of the com- mission. There were men in that body who should never have been en- trusted with such responsible duties, and we think that The Union knows as well as we that the best interests of the state were but little consulted in their final decision. If we had been the unfortunate owner of Anoka city lots we might perhaps have ap- plauded the commission's judgment as both righteous and patriotic.- Isanti Press. Langdon Item..

This spring one huncdrea and sixty wagon loads of dead fish were hauled away from the banks of Long Lake in this county and buried by farmers living in the neighborhood. They were frozen to death during the winter on account of the low stage of water in the lake. Yet in its infinite wisdom the Minnesota legislature has passed laws making it a crime for a poor man to catch a fish for his dinner during the winter months. The fish were bullheads. So were the legisla- tors that made the law. -Fairmont Independent. The following from Hastings at- tended the funeral of J. J. Kempf on Tuesday: Dr. H. G.

My little ma, who looked from thoughtful eyee And moved and spoke in quite grown up wise, Having my law the seventh time disobeyed, I struck him and disrnisv'd With hard words and unklss'd— His mother, who was patient, being dead. Then, fearing lest his grief should hinder sleep, I visited his bed, But found hint slumbering deep, With darkened eyelids, and their lashes yet From his late sobbing wet. And I, with moan, Kissing away his tears, left others of my own, For 00 a table drawn beside his head He had put within his reach A box of counters and a red vein'd stone, A piece o1 glass abraded by tho beach. And six or seven shells, A bottle of bluebells, And two French cropper coins, ranged there with careful art To comfort his sad heart. So when that night I prayed To God, I wept and mild: "Ah, when at Ink we lie with tranced breath, Not vexing thee/ in death, And thou remcmberst of what toys We made our joys, How weakly understood Thy great commanded good. Then, fatherly, not less Than I whom thou has molded from the clay, Thou'it hove thy wrath and sayy, 'I will be sorry for their ehildlshneleit.' " —Coventry Patrnore, as Origimilly Printed in Pall Mall Gazette. HE MARRIED MARY. Although he had, in addition to a lo- cal habitation, a name of his own—Pe- ter Dunn to wit—he was always known as "the man that married Mary." By- profession yprofession he was a plumber of some re- pute—that is to say, he knew by heart the meanderings and idiosyncrasies of every drain in the village, and he add- ed to this experience knowledge, for ho had the sense to carry about with him such white lead as was necessary to the fulfillment of his calling, instead of ex- pecting the same to grow wild in every well ordered household—a false expec- tation which obtains among plumbers. For six days of the week he plumbed, but on the seventh (or rather the first) he dressed himself in a little brief an- thority and a sort of black nightgown, and stood revealed to the eyes of an ad- miring village as the verger of the par- ish arish church. It was impressive to see him conduct to such seats es ho deemed meet for them the strangers within his gates, and the way wherein—during the anthem he distributed the alms - bags among the recipients for whorl they were reserved was a function fn itself. On one memorable occasion, when performing this last mentioned rite, ho stumbled over a top hat, placed in the aisle by some unwary stranger, sent it epinniug up the church, and staggered after it in hot pursuit. For one awful moment it seemed that the pillars of church and state were alike trembling, then the worthy verger right- ed himself, restored the stumbling block to its owner, and concluded the func- tion, to the unfeigned delight of the eons of the rector, who longed ever afterward to present a testimonial to the unknown author of the catastrophe. Tho inhabitants of Chorlton did not wear top hats, and if they bad they would have known better than to place such obstacles in the path of the just, so the rector's boys concluded that some alien brow had been, so to speak, the head and front of the offending, and they blessed that brow accordingly, and neve. forgot the great "kick off at 4 o'clock," as they called it. But all these paltry honors and dig- nities paled beside the fact that Peter Dunn ( "plumbing verger" or "verg- ing plumber," whichever one was pleased to dub hint) was above all things "the man that married Mary." Beside this crowning distinction all meaner honors sank into insignificance. Mary had been the reigning beauty of Cheriton for more years than she would huve cared to confess to when she ar- rived at the conclusion that "leading apes" was not so satisfactory an occu- pation as marrying plumbers and so de- cided to espouse her devoted adorer, Peter Dunn, who had regularly proposed to her every Saturday afternoon for— well, at least 250 Saturdays, at the lowest computation. With her office as reigning beauty of Cheriton Mary Mills had combined the duties of village schoolmistress. She was a good girl, and did her work well, but she had no natural love of teaching, and she was very thankful at last to lay her occupa- tion aside and become Mrs. Peter Dunn instead. Mary felt (as indeed did all the village, Peter included) that she had conferred an unspeakable favor upon her husband in marrying him, and to the day of her death she treated bim more as a king consort than as a verger and plumber in his own right, which he undoubtedly was, for Mary was what the villagers call "genteel" and founded her ideas of men and women upon the heroes and heroines of euoh silly and sensational novels ae oame in her way, and, judged according to that standard, Peter certainly fell Abort of ideal manhood. As long as she lived Mary measured Peter by these stupid measurements and found bim short and plain and commonplace and rough man- nered. Afterward she probably learned to measure bim according to the meas - aro of a man—that is, of the angel— and discovered that her plain little plumber was more of a hero than all the men of straw she had delighted to read about in the foolish days of her flesh, but of this w© have, of course, no record. Poor Mary, however, will not be the only one who will find the stand- ards of this world all wrong in the light of the next one, and there is much comfort in this thought. But though she looked down upon bim on account of his rougher manners and inferior education Mary Dunn was sincerely attached to her good little hus- band, and sncoeeded in making the few years she was spared to him years of ra- diant bliss for Peter. As for him, he simply worshiped the ground on which his wife walked. Mary had a younger Oster', of whom she was inordinately proud, who was a governess in a gentle- man's family. Bbe was, acoording to Mary, "quite the lady," and would, eo Mary thought, consider it a degrada- tion to visit do humble a home as the Dunne', which showed that poor Mra Don's standards of good breeding were as erroneous as her standards of other things. Therefore, though Mary some- times went to see the beloved Amy, Amy never was allowed to oome to Cheriton or to be brought into contact with that excellent man, her brother- iu-law. Probably bad she come Amy would have despised Peter as much as Mary did, for not to every one is it given to see the deeper meanings and to hear the bidden mesio in the com- mon things of life—least of all to enob frivolous little souls as those of the xis• ters Mills. After Mary had been dead for some years a geueral feeling spread through Cheriton that the man that married Mary was becoming a miser. Ho made a very good income, and ea there were no children had only himself to support now that Mary was gone, and yet he saved and screwed at every point, which brought him into disrepute at Cheriton. The charwoman who cleaned his house told thrilling tales of a tin box, secure- ly locked, which had its abode under Peter's chest of drawers, and into this box the imagination of Cheriton trans- ferred all the savings which Peter so carefully hoarded. One day the rector's eldest son, Jack, now at Oxford, rushed into his father's study, crying: "I say, dad, what do yon think? The man that married Mary has been rob- bed of all his savings." The rector pushed up his spectacles and gazed benignly at Jack from under them. "Dear me, dear me, what a sad thing!" he murmured. "How much money has been stolen?" "Nobody knows, but the tin box out of his bedroom has gone, and the poor man is demented." "No wonder," said the kind old rector. "Tho thief evidently climbed through the window while Dunn was out, as the door was locked." "Did he take anything besides the tin box?" asked the rector. "No," answered Jack, "for the very good reason that there was nothing else iueido the house worth the carriage. There moat be a pretty pot of money in that box, dad, for never a pipe iu the whole village bursts without the man that married Mary being well paid for mending it, and he is remunerated for his pew opening duties, too, and yet bo hardly has enough to eat, I hear, and there is nothing in his house worth a half crown piece. Tho savings in that old tin box must tot up to a pretty gum." "Dear me, dear me! It is very sad, Jack, my boy, when the love of money thus takes hold of a man—very sad in- deed." "Well, the old boy is punished for it pow, anyway," said Jack, with the nu - tempered justice of the very young and inexperienced, "and I am glad of it." "I'm not," sighed the rector. "I sup- pose punishments do good, but I am al- ways sorry when there is a necessity for them. If poor Mary bad lived, Dunn would never have got into these mean ways, she was such a bright, pretty, superior girl." Which remark showed that the dis- pensations of Providence aro wiser after all than the reasoning of the most char- itable old rectors. Later on in the day Jack Lovett caught sight of a dark object lying in a ditch. He pulled it out and found it to be a tin box, with the lock pried open. In it there was nothing but a packet of letters in Mary Dunn's pretty, old fash- ioned writing and some faded roses, brown and crisp with age. The former he was too much of a gentleman to read, but he concluded they were love letters, as they were addressed to Peter Dunn, but as there was no money in the box he conjectured that the thief had taken what was valuable and thrown the rubbish away. So he took it straight to Dunn, with many condolence& "I have found this box of yours in a ditch, Dunn," be said, "but I fear all the valuables have been taken out of it." Peber seized the box and examined its contents. "No, it's all right, Master Jack," ho cried, with excitement. "Fifteen let- ters and 10 roses and not ono missing. Oh, how can I thank you enough, sir, for restoring them to mo? I shall never forget your kindness as long as I live." Jack looked puzzled. "But wasn't there anything else in the box?" he asked. "No, sir, this is all, and it is all I have on earth that is of any value to me Fifteen letters that my Mary wrote me while we were courting and 10 roses that she gave me at different times. And to think that they are all safe, and not one misting. I shall never cease to bless yon, Master Jack, for what you have done for me this day—never." "I thought there must have been money in the box, you seemed in such a way about it. " "Bless you, sir, I shouldn't have made all that fuss if it had only been money. But, you see, these lettere are all that I have left of my Mary, and I read them over and over again. Sbo was a rare.scbolar, nay Mary was." "And so pretty, too," said Jack kindly. "Aye, Master Jack, Rho was that, and the sweetest way with her. Why, I could tell yon the history of each of them ten roses, and where wo were standing, and what she said when she gave it to me, only I should feel some- how as Mary mightn't like it. But I say her dear words over and over to myself and never forget them, though it would seem irreverent like to repeat them to another person, even to one of the quality like yourself." "Of course, of course," said Jack hastily, feeling a queer, uncomfortable lump in his throat, and then they went on to talk of other things. So the mag that married Mary was comforted, and the hiding place of his savings remained a mystery. A year or two after this Jack Levett was traveling in Switzerland and fell in (and out) with some people called knew that they belonged to a class which would not have counted the Law - eons among their acquaintances, much lees among their relations, so he cau- tiously inquired the name of Mrs. Law- eou's kiusmau. "It's 'er brother-in-law, Mr. Peter Dunn, 'or sister's widower," explained Mr. Lawson. "Since 'or sister's death 'o 'as allowed my wife a 'undyed a year, and if 'o's as rich as I imagine I think 'o might increase the allowance." "Why?" asked Juck dryly. "Well, you see, my wife's eider mar- ried beneath 'or, to I think it is only old Dunn'/ duty to pay for the privilege of being related to tuah it genteel family. I gather 'o isn't quite what you'd call a gentleman—not like you and mo, yon know." Jack shuddered and felt an unholy desire stirring within bim to knock Ltwsou down; but, stifling his desire, be said quietly: "Mr. Donn is an excellent man, and ono for whom I entertain a profound respect, but you aro mistaken in consid- ering him wealthy." Lawson's face fell. "Then you don't think 'o could increase the allowance?" be asked. "I feel sure ho could not do so, what- ever his wishes might be. It is only by denying himself that ho is able to make it as largo as it is. Of this I am cer- tain." "And yon don't think 'o'11 have much to leave then?" inquired Lawson gloomily. "I should say nothing. I can aseuro you be is a man of most limited moans, and under the circumstances the allow- ance you mentioned is princely in its munificence." "Oh, my word! Yon 'ave upset me, Mr. Lewitt. It's 'orrible to 'ave com- mon relations who aren't even rich, don't you think? Riches is the only ex- cuse for commonness, to my mind." "Pardon me," said Jack stiffly. "You are deluded in thinking that Mr. Dunn was in any way inferior to hie wife or her sister. For my part I can only say that I am proud to count bim among my friends," and Jack stalked off in high dudgeon. "Oh, my!" exclaimed Mr. Lawson meditatively. "To think of Amy's old brother-in-law turning out to be not so rioh or so common as wo thought. 'E must bo something particular if that young swell counts 'in) among 'is friends, for a more unfriendly, stuck up chap I never met. 'E won't chum with me at any prig. But I'm glad to 'ear Amy's peopjs aren't as common as I thought. I despise commonness and 'ave always prided myself on being quite the gentleman, but I can't help fooling a bit 'urt at that young Lovett not be- ing more affable with me." And it was several days before Mr. Lawson's self satiefactiou recovered from the bruieo Jack had administered to it. When Jeck Levett reached home, be endeavored to persnado Peter to cease to deny himself for the sake of such worth- less people as the Lawsone, but in vain. "Bless you, sir, I don't do it to plow them; Ido it to please my Mary, and she'd set her heart on Amy beia quite the lady." "Bot they aro so ungrateful, so un- worthy," argued Jack, "and I don't be- lieve the money does them any real good." Peter laughed. "But that don't nat- ter to me," ho said. "I do what Mary wanted, and I don't bother about any- thing oleo. If Mary had wanted me to throw my money into the river, into the river my money would ba' gone. I don't want money's worth for my money; I only want to please my Mary. The squire spends his money on hunters, not because ho wants to kill foxes for food, but because ho loves bnntin for its own sake. You spend your time on cricket, not because yon are paid for it, but be- cause you love cricket for its own sake, and ploasin Mary is my bnntin and cricket, don't you tee?" "That's it, is it?" said Jack quietly. "Tbo only joy I ever had in my life was Mary, and the only pleasure I have now is dein what I think Mary would wish. And when I meet my Mary again I know she'll be rarely pleased to hear bow I have toiled and saved to please her, and as to how the Lawson epent the money. Why, bless you, Master Jack, do yon suppoee that when me and my Mary are together once more we'll be worryin our heads about finch rub- bish ae the spendin o' money?" And Jack Levett felt that he ought to take off his bat in the presence of the man that married Mary.—Young Wom- an. Lawson. Mr. Lawson was a flashy young man, with a great many ring and no manners, and his wife wed it pretty woman, who falsely imagined herself a lady and reveled in the delu- sion. "I think I 'eard you g�niention yoti came from Cheriton in r'Blankabire," said Lawson one day to tack at the table d'hote. Now, Jack bad never motioned the fact, but Mr. Lawson bad discovered it by a diligent perusal of Jack's luggage labels, whereof Jack was perfectly aware, so be answered shortly: "Yes, I Dome from Cheriton." "Then, p'raps you know a connection of uty wife's who lives there:—a very wealthy 'man," continued Lawson in an ingratiating manner. Jack certainly knew all the wealthy people in or near Cheriton, and het* A Singing Squirrel. Ib was several years ago that, while gunning one day in the woods near Do- ver, N. H., my attention was drawn to what seemed the Ringing of a bird somewhere among the branches at a lit- tle distance away. The note wee eo pe- culiar that I turned my steps toward the sound to see what species of bird was making it. It was some time be- fore I could trate tho note to its source. Then I found out that it came from a rod squirrel Flitting upright on a bough, singing away as if in love with hie awn melody. At sight of me be stopped, but as I remained perfectly still be present- ly piped sap again. As to the quality of his melody, I should compare it to the ((Ingle note of a canary unusually prolonged, with no variations except in rising or falling and increase or decrease of tine. It may have been a call to a mate. It cer- tainly had nothing in it of the scolding character associated with the ohittering of the northern red squirrel There was no movement of the throat that I could discover in the production of the sound. From time to time he would stop his Ringing, and presently, after three or four minutes, world start up again, al- ways in the beginning with a low note which increased in volume until shortly before the next pane. I remained on the epob a baif hour listening, and went away leaving the squirrel singing away with as vigorous a note ae ever.—New York Bun. As Waterloo.

Various causes contrib- ute to this desire to go abroad. Repre- sentative Hitt thinks be has the true theory. "It is the women folks," he says. "You know how it is. Brown or Jones or Smith, when be .has means and leisure, likes fin take his family abroad. When they comp back, his wife id daughters are filled with their ex. perienoes. Tho whole town is fired with emulation. Now, John Jones may not have the means to take his family to Europe, but ho has influence in politica When the pollltioal wheel turns and his party is up, be looks around to see what the reward for his services shall be. Left to himself, he would probably be content with the postofmoe. But his wife and daughters have had to listen to what the Brown women or the Smith women say of life abroad, and, womenlike, they have listened with envy and with a fixed purpose some day to enjoy those experiences far themselves. So, instead of letting John Jones oak for the poet- ofoe, they insist that ho must be a con- sul somewhere. Their ideas may be a little indefinite about the nature and duties of a consul's office, but they know it means going abroad, and that is enough for them. So John Jones makes out his applica- tion to be oonsal general to Paris and writes his congressman that, while Paris is his first ohoice, ho will take something equally good, bot it must be abroad. And thus," gays Representative Hitt, "aro the lives of oongresemen made a burdou for the first six months after a new administration comes into power. By that time the consulates are all diepoeod of, and the disappointed applicants can return to tbo postomces." —New York Tribune. London and its Lions.

For solid and well planned progress achieved witb tho most limited resources there has been nothing sauce the days of Clive to beat that of the Niger company. The last little campaign against tbo Fon- lahs virtually decided the question of supremacy over a population estimated at 8,000,000 or 10,000,000 of the most warlike of African natives and a coun- try of immense potentialities. Tho vita - tory was achieved by a few hundreds of black troops led by a handful of Eng- lish officers. It was as elgnificant in its way as Plaseey, but when the organizer of victory, Sir George Goldie, reached London a few lines in small typo an an inside page of The Times were all that be got. Wo do not regret this. Neither, we are sure, done Sir George Goldie. It is better to let things develop quietly in that part of the world.

Old Sumptuary Lws. Mr. Burdett -Coutts, M. P., in an ad- dress delivered before tho English Uni- versal Cookery and Food association, called attention to the sumptuary laws of the fifteenth century. Then it was enacted that, food being necessary to the sustenance of man, the seller bad no right to ask his own price, but it was the duty of the state to fix it. In the same century equal supervision was ex- ercised over cooks. They were ordered to make their meat "well seasoned and wholesome and Boll it for a reasonable winning, and that they reboil or rebake no meat in hurt of the king's people." The mayor of a town in tboee days, up- on entering office, was obliged to swear that be would oxoroise vigilant super- vision over bakers, brewers, tavern keepers, 000ke and ouch people. This was no perfunctory oversight, but the official exercised his authority with great severity in canoe where cooks and dealers in food and drink failed of their duty. Too Bad.

When Christian missionaries penetrated into that strange land, they hoard much about silkworm breeding and the manufacture of silk, but although they longed to make !lett of such profitable knowledge in their own countries they were not able to do so, for the Chinese guarded their val- ved silk industry with the most vigi- lant jealousy. To attempt tho removal of the cater- pillars or eggs across tho nation's bor- der meant death by horrible torture. Daring adventurers there wore, but they met terrible fates The prise was a great one, however, and seen persevered. Tho popes at Rome offered largo re- wards to any ono who could bring them the much coveted tiny eggs. Two pil- grims at last succeeded in doing so. They made a very small cavity in their long staves, concealing therein a few eggs. These ragged and dirty wayfarer's awakened but little curiesity, being re- signedly docile to all formalities of searching. They trudged on cantiontly to Rome. Tbeu they felt safe and laid their shake, with their priceless treasures, at the feet of tbo pontiff. From those few eggs the silk industry was established in Eu- rope.—Strand Magazine.

Their Knowledge of Disease and How to Onre it the Secret of Their Health and Their Ability to Accomplish Won- ders. The Indian women were proverbially strong, healthy and hearty. Sack diseases se aro aornmon with women of today were unknown to them. They were worthy, indeed, to be the mothers of a rade that has become knowp, to history as possessing Tires of great duration free from pain and sickness. The reason was due simply to the then groat knowledge of the Indians as bow to cure disease by the aid of Nature's remedies.

MUST:: FOR THE EMPEROR. • Pathetic Bit of History Concerning Frederick William of Germany. A charming and pathetic bit of his- tory concerning the Emperor Frederick William of Germany, who died in 1888, was once written by Mr. R. von Ha- gen, and entitled "Tho First and Last Adagio." In eubstanoe the story ran as follows: In 1844 the future emperor of Ger- many was a lad of 18. Ono day as Reichardt, his mueio master, was about to leave bim at the close of a lesson, the young prince asked him to wait a mo- ment. "Herr Reichardt," said he, "my fa- ther's birthday, the 22d of March, will soon be here, aed Dr. Onrtins thinks it would be very nice if I were to learn a new piece as a surprise for bim on that day. Will you kindly choose something that you think might do? Only, mind, it must be very difficult, so that papa shall see I have taken great pains, as that will please bim more than any- thing oleo. What be likes best is one of those soft, alow pieces with a great deal of expression in it. " Herr Reichardt turned over his mu- sic, and by and by paneed a moment as if oonsider•ing whether a certain piece would answer the purpose. "Have yon found me something?" naked the prince. "I am afraid your royal highness is hardly far enough advanced," replied i Reichardt, "This is so very difficult. It is the adagio from Schumann'/ sonata in F aharp minor, but it won't do, I fear. There is so little time in which to learn it." "Ah, but Herr Reichardt," broke in the prince, "I will work to bard! Do please let me have it It must do—it shall do." By dint of great trouble and persever- ance the task was finally accomplished, and on the 22d of March the young prince played Scbumann's grand move- ment quite correctly and with mach feeling, to his father's great surprise and pleasure. As a reward for bis industry Prince Frederick William received a turning lathe fitted up with every necessary im- plement, and great was his excitement and delight. Forty-four years later the beloved Emperor Frederick lay dying in the can- tle of Fr'iedr•icbai ron. Daring tbo last few days of his life be was unable to speak, but bis family and those around him interpreted his signs, so that ho was almoet entirely spared the trouble of writing. Four days before bo died, when the empress inquired if there were anything be wished, he waited a moment and then, with both bands, imitated tho movement of a pianist. "Will it not be too mach for you?" asked tbo empress. Tbo emperor shook his head and then wrote on his tablet: "I should eo like to bear some mole. Could not Ruler, Victoria's master, oome and play something?" A message was sent, and the composer of "Merlin" came at once and seated himself at the piano in the room next to the emperor's, the folding doors having been opened. Ho played piece after piece, to the emperor's evident pleasure, till at last the empress said to the in- valid gently: "Are you euro this dose not tiro you? I am so afraid the excitement may do you harm." The emperor amiled and wrote on his tablet: "Jest ono more. I ahonld Like an adagio from one of the sonata& That shall really be the very last." The musician received tbo message and again began to play. Tbo sick man beckoned to the empress and wrote these words with feverish haste: "For- ty-four years ago I learned this very adagio and played it to my father on hie birthday, of course not so well as bo plays it. It is out of the sonata in F sharp minor. Very beautiful! Please thank Ruler. This is the last. Now I will go to sleep," It was indeed the lost earthly mnaio to which be ever listened—a tender farewell from the art ho loved most dearly.—Youth', Companion. The Best lrabogaay.

Navigatidai on Lake Michigan is neve er cleaned. Steamers run back and forth across the lake and between the ports of the west shore of the lake during the entire winter with remarkable regular. ity. The first attempts at winter navi- gation on the translake routes were made by tbo Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad company and by the now de- funct Engelmann Tranep ortation com- pany many years ego, and the success of winter ventures became established as the ebarncter of the steamers was improved and developments were made in marina cnginery. Now winter navi- gation proceeds almost uninterruptedly, and the new cur ferries steam back and forth with little regard for weather or for foe. The success of the car' ferries on Lake Michigan and the car ferry which defies winter in the Straits of Mackinac) is probably the cause of the announcement that negotiations aro in progress looking to the construction of ice breaking freight steamers that will enable their owners to keep them in commission on the Lake Superior and lower lake route during the winter. The report is without foundation. There is n vast difference between the navigation of Lake Michigan from one shorn to the other, and along its west shore, and the navigation of the great lakes throughout their lengths and through the interlake channels. Ica breaking is expensive, and occasionally the ice floes defy the crashing powers of the best of the so called ice breakers. Ono of the car ferries was recently stall- , ed by a floe near Menominee which de- i fled not only the steamer, but the ex- plosive power of dynamite. The trouble of winter navigation on the chaiu of lakes would occur in the iutcrlake chan- nels and in the canals. Owing to the clogging effects of the ice, it would be almost impossible to opeiate canals dur- ing midwinter. Another and a very serious bar to general lake navigation in winter is the prevalence of snowstorms, during which nothing whatever can be seen. Snc,w- is more obstructive to the sight than fog, and during a driving Snow storm it is impassible to see anything ahead, even in the daytime. Winter naviga• tors on Lake Michigan, who are never out of sight of land for arty great length of time, experience their chief annoy- ance from snowstorms. They manage to steam into bort when snow is flying thick because of their familiarity with the route, but they occasionally get in- to trouble while they are wrapped in "the tumultuous privacy of the storm." It does not follow, by any means, that because winter navigation iai suc- oeesful on Lake Michigan it can bo made successful in the upper and lower lake service.—Milwaukee Wisconsin. Lich, but iteautlful. If a young man would contemplate an ideal of useful living, we commend to hits the address delivered by Carl Schurz at the funeral of William Stein- way, the head of the great houso of piano manufacturers. After referring to the fact that the dead man bel gan his active life as a simple worknnant atndl in his auenxes remained the ideal knight of labor Mr. Schurz said: "He was a pattern ae a rich man. I wish I could call the millionaires of the land to this bier and say to them, 'Those annong you who lament that at times poverty looks with mutterings on riches learn from this dead man.' "His trillions were never begrudged him. The dark glanoe of envy never fell upon him. Covetousness itself passed him by disarmed and reconciled. Yes, every one would have rejoiced to see bim still richer, for every one knew that everything he got contiibnted to the welfare of all. "No ono fulfilled better than he the duties of wealth. Them was no puffed up pride of possession, no extravagant prank of display. Simple as ever re- maineai his being, modest his mode of life. But he knew one luxury, and bo practiced it; that was the luxury of tho liberal band—a princely luxury that few of the world's greatest have in- dulged in more richly than he. "It was not money alone that ho gave. It was the heart joy of the genu- ine benefactor, with which he bade the worthy welcome and often anticipated their wants. It was the bright cheerful- ness of the willing giver who could con- ceive 00 abuse of his generosity. "I have seen many men in my day, never a bigger heart. Is it too much to tray that in this man every human being has lost a brother?"—Youth's Compan- ion. Cranky. The following conversation, which occurred in ono of the city ticket offices a few days ago, is a sample of the pleasant occurrences which a ticket seller experiences in the oourse of bis career: "Give mo a tune table," said a short man with a straight, hanging beard to the clerk. "Where do you wish to go?" "None of your business," was the curt reply. A copy of the time table was passed to the man, and be took his leave. "That's one of tboeo fellow, who would complain of a conductor if ho failed to say 'Please' when raking for a ticket," remarked the clerk.—True flag. iOf late yearn sport bag became a 1 1 �� So says the London Me ' 1 J • 11.

Hasty judgment of the actions of oth- ers is dangerous and often unjust: We measure too much by some saperfloial appearance and oondemn hastily, when. if we but knew and understood the mo- tives and reasons, we would warmly approve. We sometimes say of some one, "That pain, Borrow or loss bas not deeply affected him." But we do not know. It is like the death of a few of the soldiers in front of a regiment. The broken ranks close up again into the solid phalanx, and the loss is not appar- ent. There may bo no disorganization, no surrender, no craving for pity, no display of despair. It is like the calm, dazzling play of the waves warmed by the morning's sun after a night of storm and disaster. There is no sign of the wreck. The tide has carried the de• bris away far out on the ocean; the treacherous water has swallowed all signs and tokens of tho night's awful work. Wo seo only the fairness of the morning, not the suffering of rho night. Let us be charitable iu our judgment and oondemn not when we do not know. -William George Jordan in Ladies' Homo Journal. A Man of Resource. A good story is told of the late (bunt Gleichort when he was an embassador in London. At a dinner party it was his hard luck to havo to conduct to table a lady of a taciturn and unresponsive Datura To all his polite nothings she answer- ed never a word. Nothing danutod, be continued to ply her with small talk, till at last she slowly turned her head toward him and deliberately yawned. The count was equal to the occasion.

IRVING TODD St SON. SATURDAY. JUNE 12th, 1897. SECOND 1 DITION. Improvement or Navigation. The Minneapolis Journal uses nearly a page of shall type in telling how the falls of St. Anthony were saved a quarter of a century ago, at an expense of $170,000 to the citizens, $164,500 to the city, and $545,000 to the government. The appropria- tions by the latter were obtained under the plea of making the river navigable, although really for the benefit of private property. That paper now coolly admits that ''the citizens didn't care much about the navigation of the upper Mississippi, but they wanted the falls saved." Saved, yes, from the results of their own cupidity in attempting to increase the number of mill powers by means of a tunnel, which proved a disastrous failure. Now there is another scheme to work the government for large appropriations to construct locks and darns at or near Meeker Island under the guise of improving navigation, the new water power thus proposed to be created belonging to the promoters as a matter of course. The latter do not care a straw about the navigation of the upper Mississippi, but they want the government to build another mill dam for them, and they want it very bad. Gov. Clough refuses to allow the grand jury of Hennepin County an opportunity to examine the reports of the state examiner on file in his office, and the matter will probably go to the courts. The managers of the rotten banks in Minneapolis must be protected at all hazards. Minnesota Journalism. The Alexandria Republican is to be removed to Carver. I. A. Caswell, of The Anoka Her- ald, and Miss Mary \Voodbury were married last week. Accept congratu- lations. The grocery swindlers have been making a successful raid in Washing- ton County, the victims nearly caus- ing a riot in Stillwater last Saturday when the alleged goods were delivered. The indictments against the officers of the suspended banks in St. Paul have been quashed, one of the grand jurors being a non resident of the state. Drowning men catch at straws. A cyclone struck the town of Lyle and vicinity Thursday evening, de- stroying a number of buildings. Six or eight persons are reported killed. An almost incredible story comes from Schulenburg's addition of an act of cruelty perpetrated by a fifteen year old boy upon four of his younger playmates, whose ages range from nine to eleven years. Friday evening he took a bunch of poison ivy, and, encasing his hands in cloths to avoid injury to himself, he rubbed their faces with it. Yesterday the young- sters presented a very serious appear- ance, their heads having swelled to nearly twice their natural size. Medical aid was summoned and to -day the boys are resting easier, but are not yet out of danger.—Stillwater Gazette. The four young men charged with cow stealing came up before Judge Stevenson yesterday afternoon. Les- ter Moller, Albert Eichler, and Valen- tine Blatz were charged with stealing a cow from Henderson Phillips. They waived the reading of the indictment and were granted a week to prepare for trial. Moller and Eichler gave bail in the sum of $1,00( each. Blatz remains in jail. Lester Moller and Tony Kostohriz were then arraigned for taking the Siegfried cow, with the sante procedure as before, giving hail of $500.—South b't. Paul Reporter,8th. We wish all of our people could hale been down at the Duluth depot yesterday afternoon and gazed upon the countenances of the men and women from the country who came in to get the goods sold them by the alleged firm from Chicago. You would have immediately endorsed all of our statements relative to the patronage of home dealers.—Still- water Gazette. John Byers, one of the oldest and hest known citizens of Hastings and Dakota County, died at his home in the above named city last Wednesday, after about three weeks' illness. Mr. Byers has been a prominent figure in state and muncipal affairs for some years, and his many friends will re- gret his sudden departure from their midst.—Northfield News. Mrs. J. F. Smith, of Hastings, was here on one of her pleasant visits last week. She is always welcome.— Chaska Herald. The District Court.

The Burning Fluid Falls all Over Mrs. Nora E. Hill. She is Fearfully Burned—Inhales the Flames and is Seriously Injured, but Proper Medical Treatment Saved Her Life. Prom the Chronicle, Chicago, 10. Perhaps in no case as yet recorded has the efficiency of a popular remedy been found w clearly as in that of Mrs. Nora E. Hill. While her condition, caused by a frightful and distressing accident, places her beyond the pale of perfect recovery, she has received such marked relief that the story of the ac- cident and the sufferings resulting from it, will be of more than ordinary interest to thousands of invalids. Mrs. Nora E. Hill, before September 1893, was a hale, hearty and strong woman, past the middle age of life. She tells the following story "September 1, 1893, while attending to my dudes about the house, a gasoline stove which I had used for some time, suddenly exploded, throwing the burning fluid over me. Before my clothes which were on fire eould be torn off, my right arm and hand were fearfully burned. This however, was not my most serious injury, as I had inhaled some of the flames, and I found the inside of my mouth blistered. My hand and arm to the elbow were burned to the bone, and my physician believed amputation necessary, but after weeks of great suffering, I was spared the operation, and I have fairly good use of my hand and arm now. "Shortly after the process of healing of arm and hand, my stomach commenced to give me trouble. I did not then realize what it meant. After each meal I was seized with a cramping sensation and then in a few days there were frightful pains, which threw me into clammy perspiration. For eight months I was under the care of my physician, battling hard with death. I had lost 93 pounds, was becoming a mere skele- ton, my appetite was gone, and my nervous system completely shattered. "I lost confidence in everything, was totally discouraged, and determined to go to my former home, Grand Rapids, Michigan, and have my old physician make an exami- nation of my condition. Ile did so and found that gastric ulcers of the stomach had formed, which he said were incurable, and were liable to produce cancer at any time. While in Grand Rapids the ulcers which had formed in the stomach broke, which produced vomiting of large quantities of blood and pus. This confined me to a sick bed for several weeks. When I became sufficiently strong to get up I came back here to die, as the dnetor told pie I aright last one week, possibly one month. But I determined to make as strong a fight as I could, and get all the medical aid there was in Chicago. " I was taken before a class of one of the most noted and celebrated medical colleges here for examination. This examination proved what me physician in Grand Rapids told me 510that there were gastric ulcers of the stomach. The opinion of the college physicians was that my chances of a cure were not one in one thousand. This was in May 199-1: in June I was taken down with gastric fever, caused by fresh ulcers forming, and I lay in bed nine weeks. From June to September In that year I also stifferrd ad- ditionally from thirty abscesses forming on my arms and shoulders, produced by the con- dition of the stomach and blood circulation. After this I got a little better, and this im. provement lasted during the fall and winter till January 1993, when I had another siege of gastric fever. I took a great many drugs end opiates aider the physicians directions during all this time, which had the effect o. completely upsetting my stomach and nerv- ous system. "From January to July 1895, I suffered frightful agonies, resulting from the trouble in my stomach, and was again thrown into gastric fever, which kept me iu bed three weeks. "A year ago lust October 1 commenced to take 15r. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. After I had taken two boxes they broke the gastric fever and enabled me to get up. I found also that they gave me strength, and my appetite came back. I found that I could digest the food I ate, and the pains disappeared. I also noticed that I became less nervous; in fact my general condition improved very much. "The following March (in 1896) I was again troubled with the abscesses, but to a much less degree than formerly. This was due to the eflieiency of the pills, which un- doubtedly had brought my blood to a mach better condition. I want Jo explain here that the doctors said that the cause of the appear- ance of abscesses was due to the ulcerated condition of the stomach, which vitiated the blood through my entire system. "The pills have allayed my nervousness, they are putting my blood into better condi- tion, they have cleared my brain, and have given me an appetite which I can gratify by eating light food without causing the terrible pain which formerly almost drove me insane. The pills are doing for me more than any medical aid I have ever received, and they have stopped my suffering to a very great extent. I do not think nor do I expect that they will cure me, because all physicians are agreed who have examined me that it is impossible. Past experience however has shown me that they will to a great extent make my life bearable. This I believe is doing wonders, and I feel that if they have done this much for me, there must be many. people who are suffering whom they can surely cure. " I was born and raised in Michigan, and came to Chicago some ten years ago. I know quite a number of people on the west side, and have told them of the marvelous relief I have gained by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Inc Pale People ; and if any ono should like to hear more of the details of my suffering and more of the details of the relief gained by the Pink Pills, I shall be glad to have them call at my home, 46 Wal- nut Street, Chicago.

Schenectady, N. T. THE BEST OF ALL THE DEA SONGS. The songs they sing, the gongs they sing, Those halt remembered memories of ours: How the hours with merry rhythm ring With all the world of dreamland clothed with flowers! Sweet melody, the singing of the old time scythe, Sent whispering throngh the grass by mowers blithe, But best of all the dear old songs to wear Are the songs that came from grandma's rock ing chair. 1 half remember of an old time eprin How clear the robin's first call seemed to ring, And how the snow in merry, singing way, With feathery flakes made white the barren way, And how the brook went whispering through the dell, Flinging words no tongue may ever tell Those idle afternoons, those happy days, When I was but a boy with boyish ways; But, looking back, the boat of all to weer Are the songs that came from grandma's rock- ing chair. They aro dear songs, the songs they ging. Those half remembered memories of ours. They make the air with merry cadence ring When boyish like I dreamed the dreams of boye, And crowb the time king with a wreath of floweret The dreams of winter and the dreams of spring Make music awns( of halt the songs they sing. From lazy days, those days of pile joys, But best of all the dear old gongs to wear Are the grandma songs front grandma's rock- ing chair. —Walter M. Hazeltine in Good Housekeeping. TWO TRAMPS. A young fellow was swinging along up the dusty road whistling in a way that made tho robins cook their heads to listen. Ho was a good looking young fellow, with dark curly hair and a fine bronzed complexion. His clothes were coarse and stout, he wore a slouch hat' turned down all ttr'ound, and from hat to shoes he was gray with dust. He born a stout stick in his hand and walk- ed with a light, springy step, whistling gayly as he advanced. Ho had jest reached the brow of the hill when a peculiar sight draw bis at- tention. To the right at some distance stood a pretty white oottago with bed- ding maples all about it. It was so neat and cozy that the young man would have paused to look at it if there had been no other attraction. Something eleo did attract him, however, some- thing whioh quickened his pace to a tea. Standing on the steps of the porch was a gray haired lady, and facing her from the walk below stood a defiant specimen of the genus tramp Behind the old lady in tho doorway was a young woman with a fire shovel in her hand. As the young man opened the gate he hoard is volley of oaths from the tramp, coupled with an emphatic de- mand for food. From this the gray haired lady shrank baok, and the rid- _ nen sprang np the steps, and, pausing her aside, attempted to enter the door. "Hold on, there!" cried the young man from the graveled pathway. Tho tramp turned and saw him coming. "blot's that?" he snarled. With one more bound the young man was on the porch, panting slightly, but ready for notion. "Has he annoyed you, ma'am?" he cried, and his hat came off as be spoke. "Yes," said the gray haired lady in a trembling voice. "Ho said we must get him some breakfast and give him some money." The tramp stood in a defiant attitude, his sullen eyes regarding the young man with an ugly stare. As the youth turned from the lady, the ruffian glared at him from head to too. "Say," he growled, "yon ain't a-workin this side o' the street, too, be yoa?" "Come, now," said the young man quietly, "you climb off the porch and chase yourself down tho road. VamooseI Gitl" He made a sudden move toward the fellow, who backed quickly down the steps. There ho paused and delivered another volley of profanity. "Come down here," be shouted, "an we'll fight to see who runs this ranch." "I'm Doming," said the youth, and he•dung his hat on the porch and fol- lowed it with his coat. Then ho turned to the women and said, "Ladies, have the kindness to retire within the house until this job is over." Then he leaped from the porch and the battle royal began. It was not a fight for poets to sing. It was a strug- gle between blind force on one lido and skilled agility on the other. It didn't last long, but the young man was dimly conscious that ono time in the fight, when the big fellow was crowding him pretty hard, the young girl stood close at hand with the fire shovel poised in a decidedly threatening way. Finally an adroit blow sent the ruffian to grass, and when be got up he limped down the pathway and through the gate, es- corted by the young man, and so disap- peared. When the deliverer came back for his hat and coat, the old lady met him with profuse thanks, and tho young la- dy smiled'. at him in a most charming way. Was there anything ho wanted— breakfast, a glass of milk? He said ho would like a glass of water, and the young lady swiftly brought it. As the young man took it from her hands ho permitted himself to be instantly con- vinced that she was decidedly pretty—a slender young woman in a cheap dress of dark material, with a big blue apron over it, and a white cap concealing her dark hair. But her face was bright and rosy, and when she said, " Will yon have another?" the youth was quite Burs he had never hoard a more mueio- al voice. As he pinked up bis hat fie gray haired lady said: "Would you like to earn a little money, my good young man?" I "Why, yes, I would," the young man admitted. "Then," said the older lady, "per- haps you could beat a fit,/ rugs and a small carpet for us?" The young man looked at the pretty girl and said he thought he could. "It's jest this way," said the older lady: "Our hired girl has been called home by a sick mother, and our hired man sprained his wrist so badly in try- ing to stop a runaway horse that he e gone into town to have it doctored, and so Stella and I are left alone to finish up the housecleaning But if you'll clean the rugs it will be a great help to 4a. Stella will show you where every- thing is." And so under Stella's guidance the clothesline was put up, and the rage were brought out, and pretty soon the sound of a stout stink well applied was heard. Every time the young man paused he looked toward the young girl, who, with her skirts tucked up, was flitting in and out of the doorway or pausing—a very pretty picture in- deed—on the top step of the vine cov- ered' porch. Sho was a demure girl, the young man noted, and not inclined to talk to the help, but once in awhile when ho chanced to catch her eye he fancied he detected a most misobievoae twinkle. After awhile she Dame toward him. "I don't believe yon ever beat any rugs before," she said. "And why not?" ho cried. "Because you work too bard at it," aho laughed. "Well, to toll you the truth," he said, "I'm working hard in hopes that your mother will give me a little lunch- eon. I'm hungrier than a starved bear." "I'll sco what mother thinks about it," she said and ran into the house. Then the older lady name forth and carefully inspected the rags. "Yon do your work very consoien- tionsly," she said. "I try to, ma'am," he remarked. Sho looked at him curiously. "It's a pity to see sooh a find young man tramping," she said. "Why don't you give it np?" "I'm thinking of it, ma'am," be an - wend. "A sober, industrious man like yon," she continued, "should marry and settle down." "I'm thinking of that, too, ma'am," he said, end somehow he looked toward Stella as he said it, and Stella, who wee in the doorway, caught his glance and cried abruptly: "Yom luncheon is ready." Tho young man soused his head in a tin wash basin a fow times and then pronounced himself also ready. It was a nice midday spread, and Stella waited on him. As his eye took in the details of the painfully clean kitchen he snddenly cried out: "Do yon ride a wheel?" "Why, yea," she answered calmly. "Don't yon?" Ho stopped short and sipped at his glass of milk. "A tramp on a bicycle! Ha, bat" he laughed, but it was a forced laugh. After luncheon the young man an- nounced that he was obliged to go to town, but he would oome back at 6 o'clock that afternoon, and perhaps he could be of farther servioe. The older lady offered him his pay. "Seep it for mo until I get back from town," ho said. "I never have any money in my pocket without wanting to spend it " "Poor young man!" said Stella's mother. Than with lifted hat the poor young man strode down the path and vanished behind the hedge that bordered the highway. "I wonder if he will ever come back?" quoth Stella's mother. • "Yes, he'll come bank," said Stella. It was nearly 6 o'clock that after- noon when a natty young man in an exceedingly becoming bicycle snit came wheeling down the road from Center- ville. Presently he was aware that a rider was approaching, a rider in a charming gray snit and hat and with the daintiest russet shoes. He turned aside to give the newcomer the beat of the road when a merry voice cried out: "Coming back for your money?" Ho stared around in astonishment "Why, it's Stella!" be cried. "I beg your pardon, Miss"— "Stella Gorham," she called as abe turned about and pedaled to his side. "I am John Trenholm," ho said, '"the treasurer of the now Centerville mills." "Yes," she said demurely, "I could .have told you that" "Yon know mo?" "I guessed it. I knew yon were com- ing to Centerville, and I had beard of you before. Your sister and I were at Wellesley together. Why, Mabel gave me one of your photographs—there, I shouldn't have told you that." "Why," bo said, "I've heard of you too. Valedictorian of your class, pride of"— "There, there," said Stella, "that will be quite sufficient" She pushed her wheel ahead and left him a little behind "Do yon know," she said as he caught up, "mother will almost die from mortification," "Not if she pays me what she owes," laughed the youth. Then he added, with a mischievous glance at the girl, "I am going to try and ooax another meal out of her." "I've attended to that," said Stella.

LAFITTE THE PIRATE. Blew Version of the Story Told by Gal - ...ton Oysterman. Galveston island, Texas, i0 welt' proud of Lafltte, the pirate. Indeed his fame, like that of Captain Kidd, grow,' greater with every year. Out on the island, a few miles from the city, is a grove known as Lafltte's grove. A number of wind bent trees encircle a dancing pavilion and are surrounded with a choice collection of oyster shells and tin cans. The elderly woman of the party, her old fashioned curls bob- bing hysterically, bullied to a native who was placidly wnatling with a half dozen bushels of oysters. "Say, mister, who was this Lafltte that they talk about?" ate began, note- book in hand. "Wall, lady, ho was a powerful big Man. I don't know all the rights of the mattes, but somehow ho had the habit of jerkin folks' money away from 'em, and once in a while he brought a lot of it here to the island and buried it." "Is there any buried hero in the grove?" "No, lady. This grove was just a gathering place for 'em—Lafitto and his Drew. They used to come here o' nights an bring their booty which they had gathered from ships pirated an rob- bed. They divided it np, an each man got his share, an then they had a kind o' war dance around any victims they had brought in before killin 'em." "How hcrriblol" "Yes, it was terrible, lady, but that was not a oircumstanoe to the things th' chief pirate used to do. One time when there was a big party in one of the rich houses on the island be an hie crew suddenly appeared in the ball- room. They drove everybody outdoor,' except the women an made them danoe with 'em. Then they went to the din - in room an had a big feast, endin with carrying off all the ailver in the house." "That is very interesting," making more notes. "Yes, 'm," with a placidfaoe. "But there's worse yet to come. Once a man refused to give up his pocketbook to Lafltte, an th' pirate took him an tied him by the waist to the stern of thepi- rate boat an dragged him for a mile through the sea By that time be was ready to give np" "Did the pirate get the pooketbook?" "Yes, 'm, the man was dead. But the end oome at last, ma'am. One day the other pirates did not like the way Lafltte did things, an they rebelled on him. They murdered him in his bank one night when he was asleep" "What a terrible fate!" making more notes. "Yee'm, an they stuck his head on a pole, where they kept it for ten days an nights. Then they brought it here an buried it in this grove, an he haunts this part of the island every dark night, yelling an eoreeching awful." The listener shuddered and made some more notes, but tbo oysterman went placidly on with his work, uncon- scious apparently of the effect his marvelous interpretation of history bad canned. If Lafitto had not already haunted the grove, ho sorely ought to have done so after so strange a perver- sion of his biography.—Now.'orkPoet Sir Walter Seott's Blest Brief. Sir Walter Scott had his ahare of cu- rious experiences shortly after being called to the bar. Hie first appearance 4e couneol in a criminal oonrt was 01 Jedburg assizes in 1798, when ho ano- oeeafully defended a veteran poacher. "You're a lucky scoundrel," Scott whispered to his client when tbo verdict was given. "I'm just of your mind," returned the latter, "and I'll ae nd you a maukin" —namely, a hare—" the morn, man." Lockhart, who narrates the incident, omits to add whether the "nankin" duly reached Boott, but no doubt it did. On another occasion Soott was leas eaoceesful in his defense of a house- breaker, but the culprit, grateful for his connecl's exertions, gave him, in lieu of the orthodox fee, which he was enable to pay, this piooe of advioe, to the value of which be (the housebreak- er) oould professionally attest: First, never to have a large watchdog out of doors, but to keep a little yelping ter- rier within, and, eocondly, to put no trust iu nine, clover, gimcrack looks, but to pin )lis faith to a huge old heavy Ono with a rusty key. Soott long re- membered this incident, and 80 years later, ata judges' dinner at Jedburg, he recalled it in this impromptu rhyme: Yelping terrier, rusty key, Was Walter Scott's beef Joddart fee. —Westminster Gazette.

General Horace Porter, in his "Cam. paigning With Grant," in The Century, nye: As a commander General Butler had not been General Grant's choice. Tbo general in chief, when ho assumed command of the armies, found Butler in charge of the department of Virginia and North Carolina and utilized him to the boat advantage possible. He had al- ways found him subordinate, prompt to obey orders, possessed of great mental activity and clear in his oonception of the instructions given him. He was a good administrative officer, though of- ten given to severe and unusual meth- ods in enforcing discipline and in deal- ing with thn dissatisfied clement of the population living within his depart- tnent, yet he did not pooeess the ele- ments necessary. to make an efficient of- ficer in the field. As he was inexperi- enced in fighting battles, Grant felt reluctant to give him charge of any im- portant military movement. One em- barrassment was that be was the Senior oMeer in rank in Virginia, and if Gen- eral Grant should be called away tem- porarily Butler would • be in supreme command of the operations against Pe- tersburg. Tho general struggled along under this embarrassment by keeping mattorp underhis own direotion when Butler's forces were employed in actual battle and by sending an experienced oorpe oommilndor to handle the troops in the immediate presence of the enemy.

Many • Little Lite ties Been Sang. ticed That Might Have Ban Saved With Caro. Why The Indian Babies Thrived. The Indian Woman's Knowledge of Siek- neeo and Her Power to Interpret Disease, There is probably nothing that gives so mneb trouble to mothers as far as their children's health is concerned, as their liability to be af- flicted with worms. Many and many a time these troublesome pests become so bad that the baby is thrown into convulsions, appears sickly, its little taco becomes like wax. Noth- ing seems to do it any good, its nerves become weakened, and the little one suffers the most intense pain, and all this time the Doctor is trying to find out the cause of the child's illness, and the cause is that the poor little one is being literally eaten np by the worms. Not only do they absorb all that should go to make bone and flesh for the body, burtheeo parasites actually sap up the child's life, often borrowing inaudliving on the flesh tissue itself. If your baby is ailing, if he does not grow ae he should, and is nervous and peevish, try Klckapoo Indian Worm Killer.

It is a piece of solid steel weighing about 60 tons. It bas a chamber running nearly its entire length 18 inches in di- ameter. At the breech of tho gun that chamber is enlarged to adiameterof 16 inches for 64 feet The long tube of the gunsis strengthened by an enorinous baud, reaching almost half its length and called a "jacket," and in addition Wiles wlygt is called a hoop or band with the'l[ppliancos whereby the gun is fastened or locked tea its carriage. In- side the tube of the gun there are about 60 spiral grooves, which give the pro- jectile or long bullet a twist as it leaves the gun. That twist causes the projectile to turn nearly 76 times a second as it plunges throngh the air. This projectile weighs 1,100 pounds, and it requires no less than 500 pounds of powder to give it its full force. Every discharge of the gun costs in powder and projectile fully $600. The Dost of ono of these guns is not far from $100,000. To make one of these implomenta of war requires not only great skill, but the use of very costly machinery. Not only must the stool be cooked in enor- mous furnaces, but it must bo seasoned a elicately as the most expensive dish fOr a banquet. Chemistry is called upon to say just;,when tbo metal of which the gun is made is of the proper degree of purity. Then the steel is cast into a long cast- ing. When it is cooled, it is forged or elongated under pressure while' hot Tb'en it is turned ofitsido and inside on enormous lathes. Then it is tempered, so as to harden the metal and to distrib- ute the molecules evenly throngh the mass to prevent dangerous strains and bursting when the gun is fired. Then it is turned again outside and inside with absolute accuracy as to size. Then the pp»�vvder chamber is finished, and the zn:khanism foratfre faatenfilg of the breech block is made. Then the gun is ready for its carriage, without which of course, it oould do no work. -liar - per's Round Table. PLACE DE LA CONCORDE. The Most Famous and Beautiful Square In Gay and Vivacious Paris.

Me., Got Its Blame Through Ills Wonderful Spelling As often as once a month something happens in Orrington, Me., which is of enough importance to make it worthy of mention, and whenever the place is put in print the name is always spelled wrong. Most of the time it is called "Orvington," though "Ovington" and "Ovvingtou" are not uncommon. In fact, the town's name is spelled every way but the right way. All of this is duo to the blunder of a prominent citi- zen who need phonetic methods of spell- ing. It was nearly 125 years ago that some of the leading citizens met and drew np a petition to tho general court of Massachusetts, asking that the planta- tion bo incorporated as a town. Tho people agreed upon the name. It was to be called Orangetown, partly out of oompliment to Orangetown, Md., which was then a thriving place, and partly as a mark of respect to the Prinoo of Orange, who, as William III of Eng- land, bad done valiant work in behalf of tho Protestants. Having signed a blank petition, the resident,' went home, leaving the clerk of the meeting to fill in the spaces, which he did faithfully according to the light which was given him. Of course the members of the Massachusetts general court did not know that "O -r -r -i -n -g" was meant to spell orange, or that "t -o -n" spelled town. Very likely they didn't stop to look at the name and wouldn't have cared if they bad seen the bad spelling. They incorporated the town without protest and named it Orrington, as the petition had asked them to do. Though Orrington received its name because an old clerk didn't know how to spell and though it is the only Orrington in the world, it geta little credit for being original, because compositors, proof readers and careful copyists insist upon misspelling a word that owes its birth to bad orthography.—New York Sun.

Hazeltine in Good Housekeeping. TWO TRAMPS. A young fellow was swinging along up the dusty road whistling in a way that made the robins oock their heads to listen. Ho was a good looking young fellow, with dark curly hair and a fine bronzed complexion. His clothes were coarse and stout, he wore a sloaoh haft' turned down all around, and from hat to shoes bo was gray with dust. He born a stout stick in his hand and walk- ed with a light, springy step, whistling gayly as he advanced. He had just reached the brow of the hill when a peculiar sight drew his at- tention. To the right at some distance stood a pretty white cottage with bed- ding maples all about it. It was so neat and cozy that the young man would have paused to look at it if there had been no other attraction. Something else did attract him, however, some- thing whioh quickened his pace to a ;1312. Standing on the steps of the porch was a gray haired lady, and facing her from the walk below stood a defiant specimen of the genus tramp Behind the old lady in the doorway was a young woman with a fire shovel in her hand. As the young man opened the gate he hoard a volley of oaths from the tramp, coupled with an emphatic de- mand for food. From this the gray haired lady shrank back, and the ruf- Ilan sprang up the steps, and, planing her aside, attempted to enter the deer. "Hold on, there!" cried the young man from the graveled pathway. Tho tramp turned and saw him coming. "Wot's that?" he snarled. With one more bound the young man was on the porch, panting slightly, but ready for action. "Has he annoyed you, ma'am?" he cried, and his hat Dame off as he spoke. "Yes," said the gray haired lady in a trembling voice. "Ho said we must get him some breakfast and give him some money." The tramp stood in a defiant attitude, his sullen eyes regarding tho young man with an ugly stare. As the youth turned from the lady, the ruffian glared at him from head to too. "Say," ho growled, "you ain't a-workin this side o' the street, too, be you?" "Come, now," said the young man quietly, "you climb off the porch and chase yourself down the road. Vamoose I GM" He made a sadden move toward the fellow, who backed quickly down the steps. There ho paused and delivered another volley of profanity. "Come down here," he shouted, "an we'll fight to see who runs this ranch." "I'm coming," said the youth, and be flung his hat on the porch and fol- lowed it with his coat. Then ho turned to the women and said, "Ladies, have the kindness to retire within the house until this job is over." Then ho leaped from the porch and the battle royal began. It was not a fight for poets to sing. It was a strug- gle between blind force on one gide and skilled agility on the other. It didn't last long, but the young man was dimly oonscioos that one time in the fight, when the big follow was crowding him pretty hard, the young girl stood close at hand with the fire shovel poised in a decidedly threatening way. Finally an adroit blow sent the ruffian to grass, and when be got up he limped down the pathway and through the gate, es- corted by the young man, and so disap- peared. When the deliverer came back for his hat and coat, the old lady met him with profuse thanks, and the young la- dy smiled- at him in a most charming way. Was them anything he wantod— breakfast, a glare of milk? He said ho would like a glass of water, and the young lady swiftly brought it. As the young man took it from her bands he permitted himself to be instantly con- vinoed that she was decidedly pretty—a slender young woman in a cheap dress of dark material, with a big blue apron over it, and a white cap concealing her dark hair. But her face was bright and rosy, and when she said, " Will you have another?" the youth was quite sure ho had never hoard a more music- al voice. As he picked up his bat the gray haired lady said: "Would yon like to earn a little money, my good young man?" "Why, yes, I would," the young man admitted. "Then," said the older lady, "per- haps you could beat a feta rugs and a small carpet for us?" The young man looked at the pretty girl and said he thought he could. "It's just this way," said the older lady: "Our hired girl has been called home by a sick mother, and our hired man sprained his wrist so badly in try- ing to stop a runaway horse that he s I gone into town to have it dootored, and so Stella and I are left alone to finials up the houseoleaning But if you'll clean the rugs it will bo a great help to tis, Stella will show you where every- thing is." And so under Stella's guidance the olothesline was put up, and the rugs wore brought out, and pretty soon the sound of a stout stick well applied was heard. Every time the young man paused he looked toward the young girl, who, with her skirts tucked up, was flitting in and out of the doorway or pausing—a very pretty picture in- deed—on the top step of the vine cov- ered' porch. Sho was a demure girl, the young man noted, and not inclined to talk to the help, but once in awhile when ho chanced to catch her eye he fancied he detected a most mischievous twinkle. After awhile she came toward him. "I don't believe you ever beat any rugs before," she said. "And why not?" he cried. "Because yon work too bard at it," oho laughed. "Well, to tell you the truth," be said, "I'm working hard in hopes that your mother will give me a little lunch- eon. I'm hungrier than a starved bear." "I'11 see what mother thinks about it," sho said and ran into the house. Then the older lady name forth and oarofully inspected the rugs. "You do your work very conscien- tiously," she said. "I try to, ma'am," he remarked. Sho looked at him curiously, "It's a pity to see such a fine young man tramping," she said. "Why don't you give it up?" "I'm thinking of it, ma'am," he an- swered. "A sober, industrious man like you," she continued. "ahonld marry and settle down." "I'm thinking of that, too, ma'am," be said, and somehow ho looked toward Stella as be said it, and Stella, who was in the doorway, caught his glance and cried abruptly: "Your luncheon is ready," The young man soused his bead in a tin wash basin a few times and then pronounced himself also ready. It was a nice middy spread, and Stella waited on biro. As his eye took in the details of the painfully clean kitchen he suddenly Dried out: "Do you ride a wheel?" "Why, yea," she answered calmly. "Don't you?" Ho stopped short and sipped at his glass of milk. "A tramp on a bicycle! Ha, hal" he laughed, but it was a forced laugh. After luncheon the young man an- nounced that he was obliged to go to town, but be would oome back at 5 o'clock that afternoon, and perhaps he could be of further service. The older lady offered him his pay. "Keep it for me until I get back from town," he said. "I never have any money in my pocket without wanting to spend it." "Poor young man t" said Stella's mother. Then with lifted hat the poor young man strode down the path and vanished behind the hedge that bordered the highway. "I wonder if he will ever Dome back?" quoth Stella's mother. "Yes, he'll come back," said Stella. • • . - • It was nearly 5 o'clook that after- noon when a natty young man in an exceedingly becoming bicycle suit came wheeling down the road from Center- ville. Presently he was award that a rider was approaching, a rider in a charming gray suit and bat and with the daintiest russet shoes. He turned aside to give the newoomer the beet of tbo road when a merry voice cried out: "Coming back for your money?" He stared around in astonishment. "Why, it's Stellar ho cried. "I beg your pardon, Miss"— "Stella Gorham," she called as she turned about and pedaled to his side. "I am John Trenholm," he said, "the treasurer of the new Oenterville mills." "Yes," she said demurely, "I could haat told you that." "Yon know me?" "I guessed it I knew yon were com- ing to Centerville, and I had heard of you before. Your sister and I were at Wellesley together. Why, Mabel gave me one of your photographs --there, I shouldn't have told you that" "Why," ho said, "I've heard of you too. Valedictorian of your class, pride of"— "There, there," said Stella, "that will be quite sufficient." She pushed her wheel ahead and left him a little behind "Do you know," she said as he caught up, "mother will almost die from mortification." "Not if she pays me what sho owes," laughed the youth. Then he added, with a mischievous glanoo at the girl, "I am going to try and coax another meal out of her." "I've attended to that," said Stella. And so side by aide they rode down the road and up the pathway to the cot- tage.—Cleveland Plain Dealer, Skirt Trimming.

LAFITTE THE PIRATE. Mew Version er the Story Told by OM- veston Oysterman, Galveston island, Teem, is very proud of Lafltte, the pirate. Indeed, his fame, like that of Captain Kidd, grows greater with every year. Out on tbo island, a few milds from the city, is a grove known as Lafltto'e grove. A number of wind bent trees encircle a dancing pavilion and are eurrounded with a choice collection of oyster shells and tin cans. The elderly woman of the party, her old fashioned curls bob- bing hysterically, hurried to a native who was placidly wrestling with a half dozen bushels of oysters. "Say, mister, who was this Lafltte that they talk about?" she began, note- book in band. "Well, lady, ho was a powerful big titian. I don't know all the rights of the mattes, but somehow ho had the habit of jerkin folks' money away from 'em, and once in a while he brought a lot of it hero to the island and buried it." "Is there any buried here in the grove?„ "No, lady. This grove was just a gathering place for 'em—Lafltte and his Drew. They used to come here o' nights an bring their booty which they had gathered from ships pirated an rob- bed. They divided it up, an each man got his share, an then they had kind o' war dance around any victims they bad brought in before killin 'em." "How hcrriblel" "Yea, it was terrible, lady, but that was not a circumstance to the things th' chief pirate used to do. Ono time when there was a big party in one of the rich houses on the island he an his crew suddenly appeared in the ball- room. They drove everybody outdoors except tho women an made them dance with 'em. Then they went to the (Ru- in room an had a big feast, endin with carrying off all the silver in the house. " "That is very interesting," making more notes. "Yea, 'm," with a placid face. "But there's worse yet to come. Once a man refused to give up his pocketbook to Lafltte, an th' pirate took him an tied him by the waist to tho stern of the pi- rate boat an dragged him for a mile through the Rea. By that time he was ready to give up." "Did the punto get the pocketbook?" "Yes, 'm, the man was dead. But the end come at last, ma'am. One day the other pirates did not like the way UMW did things, an they rebelled on him. Tbey murdered him in his bank one night when be was asleep." "What a terrible fate!" making more notes. "Yee'm, an they stuck his head on a pole, where they kept it for ten days an nights. Theu they brought it here an buried it in this grove, an he haunts this part of the island every dark night, yelling an screeching awful." The listener shuddered and made some more notes, but the oysterman went pluoidly on with his work, nnoon- ecions apparently of the effect his marvelous interpretation of history bad caused. If Lafltte had not already haunted tho grove, ho Rnroly ought to have done so after 80 strange aperver- sion of his biography._NowqorkPeet. Sir Walter Boott's First Brief. Sir Walter Scott had his share of cu- rious czperionoee shortly after being called to the bar. His first appearance aa counsel in a criminal court was et Jedbnrg assizes in 1798, when ho euo- oessfully defended a veteran poacher. "You're a lucky scoundrel," Scott whispered to his client when the verdict was given. "I'm just of your mind," returned the latter, "and I'll send yon a nankin" —namely, a hard—"the morn, man." Lockhart, who narrates the incident, omits to add whether the "nankin" duly reached Soott, but no doubt it did. On another occasion Scott was leas suoceesful in his defense of a house- breaker, but tho culprit, grateful for his oonneel'a exertions, gave him, in lien of the orthodox fee, which he was unable to pay, this piece of advioe, to the value of which he (the housebreak- er) could professionally attest: First, never to bavo a large watchdog ou6 of doors, but to keep a little yelping ter- rier within, and, socondly, to put no trust in nice, clover, gimcrack looks, but to pin 1315 faith to a huge old heavy one with a rusty key. Soott long re- membered 'this incident, and 80 years later, at a judges' dinner at Jodburg, be recalled it in thia impromptu rhyme: Yelping terrier, rusty key Was Walter Soott's best Jeddah tee. —Westminster Gazette. Women as Soldiers. "I do not see," said a clever woman, "why the newspapers should feel called upon to poko fun at the now law in Col- orado which permits women to servo in the state militia. In time of battle woman is just as necessary as man. Just wearing a uniform and shooting a gnu aro not all that constitute a soldier. What about woman's plaoo in the hos- pitals during time of war? Does it not require a bravo heart and a strong nerve to wait on the wounded or dying? Is not a woman a soldier who oan assist the surgeon as ho amputates a limb or binds a fractured bone? Are not the Red Ones nurses soldiers? It seems to me that a woman will make just as good a soldier as a man and always find her place in time of war." Tho word despot originally meant master or lord. At a later period it be- came an honorary title, bestowed by the Greek emperors on certain govern- ors of provinces, Now the word eon - 'eye the idea of tyranny, though, strict- ly speaking, it merely means an abso- lute ruler. • - Tie selassaweert aeitrialle 1V I•eiaclets.

A cabman's earnings greatly depend, I may say, on luck. According- ly the weekly wage may range from as low as 10 shillings to as high as £2 at certain seasons. The hours, as you know, aro exceedingly long. Supposing e man turns out at 10 a. m. Ho drives the same horse from six to seven hours, and thou, changing borne, goes on till 8 o'olook in the morning. There is not so much difference be- tween hansom cab drivers and the four wheel men as tho public seem to imag- ine. Not infrequently drivers change and change about. Thus a four wheeler who feels that the moving of heavy boxes le past hie strength will take a baneom, or, again, the ha9na cabby who finds that his exposed position brings on rheumatism and kindred ilia will change in favor of the more jog trot vehicle. There is scarcely a well known cab driver in London but has his own @penial appellation, generally given to him in view of some physical or mental peculiarity. Somo idea of the literary attainments and wide knowledge of cabby can be given by tho fact that among the nicknames may bo found "Trilby,,' "Lord Randolph Churchill," "Flop the Beadle," "Ulster Jack," "Sweet Apple Joe," "Busy Bee," "Garibaldi," "Nicodemus" and "Four - in -band.

General Horace) Porter, in his "Cane paigning With Grant," in The Century, says: As a commander General Butler bad not been General Grant's ohoice. Tbo general in chief, when ho aasnmed command of the armies, found Butler in charge of the department of Virginia and North Carolina and utilized him to the best advantage possible. He had al- ways found him subordinate prompt to obey orders, possessed of great mental activity and clear in bis ooncoption of the instructions given him. He was a good administrative officer, though of- ten given to severe and unusual meth - ode In enforcing discipline and in deal- ing with the dissatisfied element of the population living within bis depart- tnent, yet be did not possess the ele- ments noeeesaryt to make an efficient of- ficer in the field. As ho was inexperi- enced in fighting battles, Grantlfelt reluctant to give him charge of any im- portant military movement. One em• barrasement was that he was tho Senior officer in rank in Virginia, and if Gen- eral Grant should be called away tem- porarily Butler would • be in supreme command of the operations against Pe- tereburk. Tho general struggled along ander this embarrassment by keeping matter@ underhis own direction when Butler's forces were employed in actual battle and by sending tan experienced corps commtt'ndor to handle the troops in the immediate presence of the enemy.

Think whaeone of these guns is, It is a piece of solid steel weighing about 60 tons. It has a chamber running nearly its entire length 13 inches in di- ameter. At the breech of the gun that chamber is enlarged to a diameter of 15 j‘ inches for tiej feet. The long tube of the gun,is'etrengtbened by an enormous band, reaching dimwit half its length and called a "jacket," and in addition ithas wt is called a hoop or band with theTpplianoes whereby the gun is fastened or locked tot its carriage. In- side the tube of the gun there are about 50 spiral grooves, which give the pro- jectile or long bullet a twist as it leaves the gun. That twist causes the projectile to ,un nearly 75 times a second as it plunges through the air. This projectile weighs 1,100 pounds, and it requires no less than 500 pounds of powder to give it its full foroo. Every discharge of the gun oosta in powder and projectile felly $600. The oust of one of these guns is not far from $ioo,opo. To make one of these implements of war requires not only great skill, but the use of very costly machinery. Not only must the steel bo cooked in enor- mous furnaces, but it must bo seasoned aelicately as the most expensive dish fare banquet. Chemistry is called upon to say just +when the metal of which the gun is made is of the proper degree of purity. Then the steel is cast into a long cast- ing. When it is cooled, it is forged or elongated under prewaro while" hot. Then it is turned o?Itside and inside on enormous lathes. Then it is tempered, so as to harden the metal and to distrib- ute the molecules evenly through the mase to prevent dangerous strains and bursting when the gun in fired. Then it is turned again outside and inside with absolute accuracy as to aize. Then the der chamber ill finished, and the in :. , aniem for stile faateniig of the breech block is mode. Then the gun is ready for its carriage, without which, of course, it could do no work.—Har- per's Round Table. PLACE DE LA CONCORDE. The Most Famous and Beautiful Square In Gay and Vivacious Paris, The mostt important public square in Paris and one of the handsomest in the whole world is the Place do la Concorde. In the center rises the obelisk of Luxor, presented by tbo pasha of Egypt to Louis Philippe. It is flanked on either aide by a'large fountain. The Place de la Con- corde seems somewhat wrongly called, in view of the history of the spot% One hundred and fifty years ago it was an open field, but in 1748 the city accepted the gracious permission of Louis XV to erect a statue to him here. The place then took his name and retained it till the new regime, in 1789, melted down the statue and cony ted it into 2 cent piece& On the 80th of May, 1770, during an exhibition of fireworks here, a panic took place and 1,200 people were tram- pled to death and 2,000 more were se- verely injured. The occasion was the attempt of the people to express by a grand celebration their unbounded joy at the recent marriage of the y oueg dauphin withiehe Austrian princess Marie Antoiuotte. On tho'21st of Jan- uary, 1793, they gathered hero again in immense numbers to see the head of the same dauphin, then Louis XVI, chopped off by the sharp guillotine. During the next two years the spot well earned its title '-'Place of the Revolution," for the guillotine had not oeased its work until Marie Antoinette, Charlotte Corday, Mme. Elizabeth (the king's sinter), Robespierre and more than 2,800 per- sons had hero perished by its deadly stroke. —Chautauquan. Edhem Pasha.

A CLERK'S BLUNDER. Orrington, Me., Got Its Name Through Sts Wonderful Spelling As often as once a month something happens in Orrington, Me., which is of enough importance to make it worthy of mention, and whenever the plaoe is put in print the name is always spelled wrong. Most tof the time it is called. "Orvington, " though "Ovington" and "Ovvington" are not uncommon. In fact, the town's name is spelled every way but the right way. All of this is duo to the blunder of a prominent citi- zen who used phonetic methods of spell- ing. It was nearly 125 years ago that some of the leading citizens met and drew up a petition to the general court of Massachusetts, asking that the planta- tion bo inoorporated as a town. Tho people agreed upon the name. It was to be called Orangetown, partly out of compliment to Orangetown, Md., which was then a thriving place, and partly as a mark of respect to the Prince of Orange, who, as William III of Eng- land, had done valiant work in behalf of the Protestants. Having signed a blank petition, the residents went home, leaving the clerk of the meeting to fill in the spaces, which he did faithfully according to the light which was given him. Of course the membors of the Massachusetts general court did not know that "O -r -r -in -g" was meant to spell orange, or that "t -o -n" spelled town. Very likely they didn't stop to look at the name and wouldn't have cared if they had seen the bad spelling. They incorporated the town without protest and named it Orrington, as the petition had asked them to do. Though Orrington received its name because an old clerk didn't know how to spell and though it is the only Orrington in the world, it gets little credit for being original, because compositors, proof readers and careful copyists insist upon misspelling a word that owes its birth to bad orthography,—New York Sun. NAVEL ORANGES. Explanation of Their Origin That Doesn't Quite Explain. They wanted to know about navel oranges in the store, and the inquisitive man asked of the market man the same question that the little boy asked his mamma. In vain the little boy awaited the maternal response, but not so he of the inquisitive mind, for the market man revolved the quid of thought in his brain, eyed chicken and turkey and juicy slioes of beef, lifted an orange and fondled it and said: "I can tell you all about it. They come this way: You see they import the seedless navel orange trees from Australia. They don't do well in this country, so they cut down the California orange trees when young and ingraft slips of the Austra- lian tree into them, and they grow up big and strong and perfect into the juicy, applause compelling, mouth wa- tering California navel. That's how the navel comes." A silence fell, and the inquisitive man said: "Once a nigger asked the deacon about how they made man in the creation, and the deaoon aaked the dominie, and the dominie said, 'Dey was a brack man and er brack woman on do earf long 'fore dey was ever any livin, movin thing, an do brack man he took do brack woman and put her in do sacred spring and leaned her up agin do fence ter dry, and do brack woman took er brack man and dipped him in de sa- cred waters an she loaned him'— " 'Hol on,' said the nigger. 'Dis yeah was 'fore de Lord knowed any- thing about it, er dey was any earf or anything.' es) ,Yied., ",'Well, I acts to know where dey git dat fence?' and I want to know where they get that Australian seedless navel orange tree.

There may be no feeling between Anoka and Hastings, hut the manner in which an :Anoka paper compares the standing of the militia companies stationed in those cities arouses suspicion. Nothing seems to escape the eye of tile editors in these towns which may be taken ad ,autage of to discredit the opposing town.-1'rine•e- t'n limon. This may he true sal far as the Anoka paper is concerned, hut its course reflects no credit upon the community which it is supposed to represent, nor will the warfare he re- ciprocated in kind so far as The Ga- zette is concerned. Hastings fights its battles in a very different manner. Minnesota Journalism. The Stillwater Gazette has enlarged its weekly edition to a six -column quarto. The Princeton Union issued a daily during the encampment of the Sons of Veterans, held at that place this week. Mr. and Mrs. W. W.

John Lucas, the inventor of the rotary engine, a brief description of which was given in The Times some days ago, has a machine which he is not afraid to submit to a public test. Last night he brought the little affair to The Times office and it was con- nected with the,; boilers in the engine - room by Engineer Michael T. Neaty, The engine was attached to a half inch pipe and the pressure was in the vicinity of ninety pounds. With the throttle valve partially opened the lit tle machine, the working parts of which are hardly larger than a watch case, ran like a witness sometimes does when a deputy sheriff is after him with a grants jury subpoena. An effort was made to obtain some record of the speed, and, while it was not en- tirely successful from the fact that there was no governor to regulate the quantity of steam fed to it, a speed record of nine thousand, two hundred revolutions a minute was secured, and there is little doubt that the engine made at least ten thousand revolu- tions a minute as easily and with less noise than a smoothly running bicycle on an asphalt pavement. Mr. Lucas was most obliging, e and at the request st of those interested in the test took the machine apart and exhibited all of its mechanism, which is exceeding- ly simple. A further test is to be made in a few days, and it will then be possible to obtain some estimate of the power generated by the little whirler. That it has considerable power was shown by last night's experiments.—Minrtc- apolis Times, 14th.

"You do not know what has become of Camille?" The young man in his shirt sleeves, who was searching tho disordered obam ber for cigarettes, etopped abort and re- plied: "Certainly not. How should I know? It is so long since -and then," ho add ed, with an air of bored indifference, "what does it matter to me?" "Oh, but I know where she lives - and happily tool" Then, changing her tone as she tied up her bundle, she said: "However, if you do not caro about hearing"- Maurier took long whiffs of his ciga- rette. He had the day before, after read- ing his brilliant thesis, reeoived his di- ploma and was now an M. D.n an- other week ho would return to Trivas, his cativo city. The mune and memory of Camille, the milliner, who had been his sweetheart for a year, at the end of which he had brusquely cast her off, were not altogether indifferent to him. "Camille! Oh, yes, that was a long time ago!" be said as ho looked at the laundress, a good, ugly soul from Ver- sailles, whom ho had employed since his early student days. "Not so long, after all," said the laundress. She was looking at him now, her hands on her hips, her keen face expressing a sort of maternal in- terest. She was not to be so easily im- posed upon. She resumed: "You were rather cruel to the poor little woman, weren't you?" Maurier shrugged his shoulders al- most imperceptibly as he took from his closet a bottle of cognac and two glasses, saying, as ho filled them: "I broke with ber when I found the matter taking too serious a turn; that is all. One must have amusement. But to compromise a career-zut I To your good health, Mother Legrain." The laundress as she drank the brandy said: "It does not prevent her being happy now."

To a fat haberdasher -a hand- some shop, really -Aux Trois Princesses, Place Oliohy. " "So much the better." "And three children -loves -round and rosy as apples. You would never recognize her, " said Mother Legrain in- sidiously. "Do you still see her?" "Not longer ago than a week, M. Maurier. I was at my door, Rue Morgue, when she passed with her husband and children. They had comp to Versailles to visit the chateau and the park. She stopped and talked with me a full min- ute. And dressed! Not as she used to be -oh, no! One could see that her hus- band was well to do." And satisfied, when Maurier feigned to yawn, that he was inwardly piqued to interest, she along the bundle of clothes over her shoulder with a "Good day, M. .Maurier-until Monday -good day." Manlier prepared to go out, indulging in the following monologue: "Ah, me, poor Camille! Well, it is better so. She has found a chance to - has got married, in fact. Curious I should so entirely have lost sight of her! She was pretty, was Camille -a trifle thin, but a good girl and full of droll humor; a piquant face, always dusted with poudre de riz, and her silky hair like an aureole about her bead. How the years fly! And she is married, and I am a doctor, ripe for patients and domestic life. Really, I am not curious, but it would be quite amusing to see her again -to see her in her new surroundings. And who knows? She loved me when I sent her from Inc and afterward wrote me heartbroken letters. She lives in Plaoe Olichy, oh? Stop a minute -bah, she mast have forgotten me! Still, does a woman forget wben she has suffered? No. It would be queer if, after all - What have I to risk? I leave Paris in a week. I'll go to see her. My heart tells me to try my luck." With these edifying reflections Man- lier went down and tpok the Odeon- Olichy omnibus, upon the top of which he sat humming until he reached his destination, Aux Troia Princesses. In the windows looked out upon the world an artistic arrangement of silks and linen, a forest of walking sticks and umbrellas and gorgeous cravats. Although not large, the shop indicated prosperity. Maurier hesitated, suddenly embar- rassed, not daring to enter for fear of encountering the husband or perhaps a clerk. At length, however, ho entered. Camille was behind the counter. He recognized her at once. Her fair face was dusted with rico powder, as it used to be. Her silky hair formed a nimbus about her head, as ho remembered it. She raised her eyes and glanced at him expectantly, but with no sign of recog- nition. "You wish something, monsieur?" This greeting was unlboked for. He stammered: "I would like some collars and neck- ties." Sho name out from the counter, say- ing, "The clerk is at breakfast, but I will show them to sots" Sho did not look at him, opening the boxes as though she had never seen him, as though be were a passing customer, abeolntely unknown. Ho felt actually timid. She played her part withont affectation. "These ties are the most worn. Hero is an English article of very good Final- ity and extremely reasonable.'' Maurier stood mute and undecided. "If she remembers me," he thought, "she must think me a prodigious fool " And believing that he saw hovering about the corners of her lips an indefin- able smile -a smile which be well knew ..-he said to himself, "Sho is paying pie back, that's oertairi.

And Succeeded In Unearthing Tonus That Startled the Walter. A western lawyer went into the Planters' cafe a few days ago. He had • not always lived in tho far west and in his college days in the east was well j enough acquainted with the French ' bills of fare of swell New York restau- rants'. But out in hie new home he had forgotten about soup an pot gran and pomme de terra a la duchesse. Tho fact that he oonld not road some of tho deli- cacies on the menu exasperated him, and he proceeded to have fun with the waiter. "Nothing here that I'd oare for," said he to the olaw hammered attendant. "We can servoyou anything for din- ner, air," said the waiter, confident that he could please his onetomor before he got through with him. "Have you sine qua non?" The waiter Oared. "No -o -o, sir," be answered. " What about bonmots? Have you IVY?" No, air." "Then let me have some nice ignis fatties. That's good at this time of the pear. " " We haven't got it."

"I'11 call Mr. Weaver," said the .waiter, almost crazy by this time „Perhaps he can tell what you want." Tho guest from the west caught him by the coattails. "All right," said he, "and in the meantime bring mo some roast beef and fried potatoes.

Finallyhe said desperately: "I will take this, and this, anhat." "Is there nothing else? Monsieur wished to see collars." Ho nodded, Why did he not epeak? Ho was alone with her, the clerk at the midday meal, the husband absent, and ho could not say the words which were strangling him: "Camille, it le I. Don't yon remem- ber mei"' Yes, undoubtedly she did. Again there flitted across her lips that half smile so familiar to him. Certainly she knew him. "What size?" she naked. He made an awkward gesture of ig- eorance. She unrolled her tape measure and placed it in a businesslike manner around Maurior's neck. For a s000nd, as she stood before him, their tacos were so near together that ho could have kissed her. "Fifteen," she said, opening some Dollar boxes for him to choose from. He picked out four boxes; then, still un- willing to go, asked to eee some um- brellas, after which ho bought a muffler and some handkerchiefs. Camillo had not once flushed, paled or otherwise be- trayed herself. Nevertheless, that she recognized him he would have been willing to wager his right hand. "Is there anything else?" she asked again. "That is all. " While paying for the articles an idea suddenly occurred to him. "Might not these purchases be sent to me?" he said.

A game of dominos in a lion's cage was the novelty recently offered to the bewildered gaze of the visitors to a menagerie. The players were the "tamer" and a worthy citizen who, on the strength of a bot, had entered the habitation of tbo king of beasts. Seated quietly at a table which had been brought in for the purpose, the pair got on very well for a time, the lion watch- ing their movements apparently with intelligent attention. Ho seemed, how- ever, to arrive at the conclusion that the game was a poor business, after all, for instead of allowing the two men to finish it in peaoo he suddenly made a dash at the table and sent it spinning with the dominos in wild confusion into the air, much to the horror of the onlookers, who feared that a shocking catastrophe was impending. The amateur, however, was not slow in taking the hint. On tho contrary, he lost not a moment in bolting out of the cage, and the relief was general when ho succeeded in putting the bars be- tween himself and tbe demolisher of the table. The lion appeared to be a very magnanimous creature, for during the next performance ho allowed a friend of the fugitive domino player to pay bit a visit and actually condescended to accept from him a piece of moat pre- sented as a propitiatory pffering. As, after doing justice to the morsel, he be- gan to regard the intruder with wistful eyes, and by other signs and tokens to manifest an inclination to make a closer acquaintance with hint, the tamer promptly intervened and another strate- gic movement to the rear was executed, fortunately with success. -Paris Letter in Chicago Chronicle. The Youthful Kaiser and Mr. Frith, Although Professor Knaokfuss is usu- ally oredited with assisting the kaiser in the production of his surprising pic- tures, the German monarch owes his earliest introduction to the mysteries of art to an English painter. Tho first time the kaiser handled a brush was at Windsor, when Mr. Frith was painting the pioturo of the Prince of Wales' mar- riage for the queen. All the royal per- sonages gave sittings to the artist, and the kaiser, then a little 4 -year-old prince, spent several mornings in the room where the picture was being paint- ed. To keep tbe child quiet, Mr. Frith gave him some paints and brushes and allowed him to dabble on one of the unfinished corners of the canvas. .As the natural result of this very in- judicious proceeding the prince's face was in a very few minutes covered with streaks of green, blue and vermilion. Tho sight of his smeared face terrified his governess, who begged the artist to remove the colors, and Mr. Frith, arm- ed with rags and turpentine, had nearly completed his task when the pungent spirit found its way into a scratch upon the child's oheek. Tho future kaiser screamed with pain, assaulted the emi- nent painter with his fists, and hid him- self under a largo table, where he yelled until he was tired. Mr. Frith de- clares in bis "Reminiscences" that the little prince showed a moat unforgiving spirit and ravenged himself afterward by sitting so badly that the painter failed altogether to produce a satisfao- tory likeness. -London Chronicle.

Japanese Attach Prayer Wheels to the Hubs of Their Machines. The bicycle is now employed to aid the pious Buddhist in praying with greater ease, but yet, as ho hopes, with great effect. It is from the ingenious and enterprising country of Japan that this new departure is reported. Tho Buddhist Dae always done bis praying with the assistance of a wheel The prayers are plaood inside the wheel, which turns round, following the di- rection of the sun, and delivers up to heaven the prayers of the owner, or of all whose thoughts aro fixed upon it. bomo enormous wheels aro capable of praying for thousands of people. This mode of worship may seem somewhat irresponsible to western people, but the Buddhist, who is a subtle reasoner; would be able to explain why it is sat- isfactory, In various parts of the vast territory in which the Buddhist faith is held different motive powers are used in these prayer wheels. Some humble per- sons turn the wheel by hand, but not U they can help it. On the bills of Tibet, a great stronghold of pare Buddhism, the wheels aro usually so built that the wind turns them. In oth- er places they aro moved by water pow- er. But it is obvious that wind must fail occasionally and that this may happen when the Buddhist is particularly in need of copious prayer. Water power, too, is often lacking. So the ingenious Jap now attaches a small prayer wheel to the hub of bis bicycle, and when bo takes a ride be combines worship with recreation. By giving a glance at his podometer ho can tell just how much praying ho has done He can also keep an accurate daily rec- ord, which will enable him to tell after a number of years just how much pray- er stands to his credit. In this way Buddhism seems to have given a zest to bicycling Whioh no other religion can supply. -Now York Journal Glass Tombstones.

Forty Birds to the Rescue -How It Was Finally Set Free, "Going through the woods ono day," said a lover of birds, "I saw a catbird with one of its wings caught on a brier bush. Tboro was a dump of briers here, with a narrow opening at one place between two of the bushes. The" catbird bad tried to fly through that opening and had made a miecaloulation and got ono of its wings impaled on a thorn. Tho other wing was free, and it was flapping that and trying to get clear of the bush. "Around this bash there must have been at least 40 other birds, of one kind or another, catbirds and brown thrash- ers and wrens and grass °hippies, and so on, that had been attracted by tho unfortunate catbird's cries and its ef- forts to escape, and that appeared to have gathered there to help it They fluttered about oloso to the bush, flying around at a great rate and making a lot of noise, but not really doing anything. Some of tho smaller birds world fly around very close to the bush or even fty ander it, and I imagine some of the bigger birds saying to some of these venturesome little fellows, 'Here, you brown thrasher, you, why don't you get under him there and push on his wing?' Bat the brown thrasher would only go about so °lora He wasn't going to get caught. What the birds world have done finally I don't know. I think they would have helped the catbird in some way, but I undertook to help it myself. "Of oourso I oouldn't go right up to it, for that would hove frightened it, and may bo made it hurt itself even worse. I had with me a sawed off broom stick that I carried for a walking etiok, and I undertook to free the catbird with that. I thrust the stick through the brier bush, all the other 40 birds look- ing on, and brought the end of it gen- tly against the catbird's wing and push- ed the wing off the thorn. But in start- ing away the catbird got the w caught again on another thorn. That was bad, and I stood off a minute de- liberating about what to do next, the whole flock of birds still fluttering round and the imprisoned catbird now pretty nearly exhausted It was a time to drop all ceremony, and I simply walked up to the bush and took the cat- bird off the thorn with my hand& "Just beyond the brier bushes there was a smooth grassy spot in the woods and I laid the catbird down there, the whole lot of birds that had been hover- ing about the brier bush following along, more or lees near, and hanging around there. Pretty soon the catbird got up and flow to a little tree nearby. It wasn't strong, but it could fly and its wings were all right. When it flew tip into the tree, all the other birds flew away. From the freq the catbird sang its thanks to me, and them I left it. "— New York San. ORIENTAL EYES. 'their Much Lauded Beauty Due to False Modes of Living.

MUSEUM CRANKS. People Who Want to Dispose of Alleged Valuable Hellos. The amateur oollootor of curiosities generally has an exaggerated idea of the value of hie troanures. No sooner does ho got hold of something which he oonsidore uttigao and interesting than he fancies that every museum in the country will jump at the chance of pur- chasing it from him. With this idea he is continually calling upon maaenm keepers and trying to persuade them into exhibiting hie so called rarities. The curator of a popular northern museum has been much worried in this way during the last year or so. Only the other week a white haired old man came to him and showed him a dagger which was said to be the weapon used by King John in stabbing the boy Prince Arthur. Tho dagger was quite a modern affair and showed no signs of age, but the old man stunk to bis de- scription stranttonely. "My dear fellow," he said to the cu- rator in patronizing tonne, "if you are so blind to your own iuterosta as to re- fuse this dagger, it is no oonoorn of mine. It hat' been in our family for cen- turies, and we aro dew:ended in a direct lino from Hubert de Bourg, the noble- man who refused to allow Prince Ar- thur's eyrie to bo burned out with red- hot irons. I'll give you one more ohanoe, and if you won't have it I'll take it elsewhere." Needless to say, ho bad to take it olsowhere. Another crank drove up to the mu- seum gate one afternoon on a dray, to which was strapped a big, cumbersome writing table. Tho curator hastened out to meet him and was just in time to prevent him bringing the piece of furniture bodily into tho hall. On being asked for an explanation, the visitor said ho had decided to pre- sent the museum with a priceless treas- ure in the sbapo of a writing table used by Sir Francis Banat. He had been pre- serving ro-serving it for a long time, he said, in order that he might write its history, which ho had at last completed in a manuscript volume of 820 sheets, Tho curator, who is, of eourse, an expert, examined the desk and declared it to be worthless. It had apparently been used in a soboolroom until it had got too rickety for service and was then dis- pensed with. At any rate, it couldn't have boon more than 70 years old. This report was communicated to the visit- or, who thereupon took to raving like a madman and became so violent that ho and hie treasure had to be moved along by the polio Royal relies are much in favor with amateur collectors, and, though tome of the curiosities' submitted to the museum recently have been thought worthy of a place ou the tables, the majority have proved to be hopeless rubbish. -London Tit -Bits.. tttisnaders$ood.

I didn't blame them much, but suggestod to them the difficulty of existing on prairie grass and showed them a telegram from the next town a$nounclng that every seat in the house had been sold. It was a clear case of providential intervention. I danced a jig in my room and every member of the company went about humming some favorite air. The Ann was shining onoe more. "As we made the short jump the next day a cyclone passed to the left of aa, freighted with everything movable that could be pinked up in its coarse.

Among the stories told of one of the most kingly of European sovereigns, King George of .Greece, ie one which details tbettrouble that on one oofiaaian grew opt of his passion for athletic aPcrla- Tbe king, in the earlier years of his reign, often participated in tho feats of running and leaping of which his oonn- trymen are so fond. In order to conceal his identity he entered the oontesta un- der the name of George Papadoponloa He was an excellent athlete—tall, strong and nimble—and won many of the eon - tests. He proudly cherishes the cups and other trophies whiob bo won in those games, all of which bear the name of George Papadoponlos. But his appoar- anoe in them, as an unknown and con- sequently myetorions personage, had it. disadvantages. In a certain amateur oontest ho was accused of being a pro- fessional. As "George Papadoponlos" naturally oonld not give a satisfactory a000unt of hie identity and antooedonta, the crowd became oonvinoed that he really was a professional. Tbo Greeks are bot blood- ed, and M. Papadopoulos was greatly in danger of receiving rough treatment. In this emergency he meowed his identi- ty, not to the crowd, but to a police officer, who managed to get him away to a place of safety witbout permitting the crowd to disoover that they had been threatening their sovereign. As a reward for hjs cleverness the po- lios ofiioer received a military appoint- ment and has now reached the rank of ool on eL -Youth's Companion. Light In Photography. M. Chaesagne disoovered that "light is, according to its oolor, able to produce a epeoiflc pbyeioal change by virtue of which each part of the photograph is able, when immersed in a bath of dye, to absorb the dye just in those parts of the picture where the oorreepoading tint originally fell." If this is true, a red tiled roof in a landscape, when photo- graphed by means of properly prepared films, would be able to to affeot the part where its image bad fallen that when the whole photograph is placed in red dye the dye stains that part of tbo pic- ture and none of the other. In the Chaa- sagne photograph the tinting follows the linea with snob precision as shows the importanoe of the discovery or the cleverness of the fraud. Opinion seems to favor the first. Becquerel, some half century ago, succeeded in fixing tempo- rarily upon the pbotographio plates the colors of the 'Apeatram. The question was then raised whether it is possible that a Dolor may, under certain dream - 'tame, actually create a pigment of iia own tint out of a "ohemioat precipita- tion of material taking plaoe under its own influence." Untfl M. Ohaasague may be able to reveal the nature of his secret solution speoulation may remain wide of the mark. Poisonous Serpents. All poisonous eerponta have movable fangs, which are found in the upper jaw, and when not in use close up like tho blade of a penknife ?hefang is pro tided with a duct leading to the poison quo, and the rirus ie ejected through this, duct by pressure. At the base of ev- ery very poison fang there aro mime -row germs of others, and the fang broken or lost is replaced in a few weeks by the growth of another.

Tho Doc d'Anmalo for tho last 25 years of his life suffered much from gout, which twisted his hands some- what out of shape and shriveled his fin- gers. In spite of that infirmity bo etjll wrote a neat and legible hand. At Twickenham, during bis periods of ex- ile, while be was at work on studies of hie "History of the Prinens of Condo," bo wrote upon little scraps of think note paper, which were recopied on larger sbeeta. He bought many pictures in England, which afterward found place in the galleries of Chantilly, but nearly all aro works of Frcuch or Italian art- ists. It has been noted with surprise and some regret that he did not caro to en- rich his collection with masterpiooes of tbo English painters. Ho inherited his greet fortune, as is well known, from the Due de Bourbon, the heed of the Conde branch of the Bourbon family. After the duke's eon, the Prince d'Enghien, had been ebot by order of Napoleon the duke had no di- rect heir. In his old age, after being tw•ioo married and widowed, he fell in- to tbo clutches of a Mme. do Fencheres, - an English adventuress, who induced him to eett.le upon her an estate and large Bums of money. The story is that sbo, feeling the neod of a friend at court, agreed with Louis Philippe that if ho would stand by ber she would in- fluonoo the old duke to make tbo Due d'Aumale, who was his godson, his heir. Tho old duke repined under the dom- ination of his oompauion and plotted to run away secretly and escape, but on the morning of the day on which he had planned to go ho was found hang- ing from the window fastenings in bis bedroom. His estates duly went to the Duo d'Anmale, then a child 6 years old. -Harper's Weekly. About Microbes. Tho history of science abows that, however simple a newly discovered fact or law appears at first, closer study proves it complex and intricate. This bolds true in the germ theory of dis- ease. It seems Finch au easy explanation. "Each disease is due to a specific mi- crobe. Eliminate the microbe, cure the disease." But exceptions keep obtrud- ing themselves. Often the microbe is found, but not the diecwen; hence bao- teriologists hare oome to recognise that not the presence of the germ, but some virulent condition of it, causes the mal- ady. It is said that the current of thought was first turned in this direc- tion by the discovery by Roux and Yer- sin of diphtheria beetling in a large number of normal throats and in local - idea where the disoaeo had not been epidemic for years. Leaders seem to be deciding that it is a family of bacilli one has to deal with in diagnosing and treating curtain disease. Some members of the family are especially pathogenic and some aro not 'The last may be- oome virulent under conditions not well understood, but the main ono eeems td be the passage of the bacillus through one or more individuals whose lowered resistive vitality makes them subject to the originally attenuatod virulenoe of tbo bacilli." Dr. Roux of antitoxin fame believes these changes in virulence of microbus aro the rule rather than the exception. Metzchnikoff found that cholera bacillus was widely spread in water, practically all over the world. Duclaux, Pasteur's successor as director of the Institut Pasteur, is aleo convinood that the "family of bacilli" in both ty- phoid and cholera is sometimes patho- genic and sometimes not, and is widely spread in nature. Water O. It is a fact of peculiar eignificanoo that, although the manufacture of wa- ter gas for illuminating pnr'poeos on a largo scalp has been subjected to inves- tigation, experiment and trial for morn than 20 years in Europe, none of the large European establishments or oom- panics bas adopted it. It appears, how- ever, to have been much more success- ful in this oountry than in Europe, this being accounted for by the introduction of petroleum, which affords a cheap and adequate means of enriching it with illuminants. Formerly the illu- minating power was obtained by intro- ducing into the nonluminone flame me- tallic platinum, or by mixing tbo water gas with rich gam obtained from peat, resin or some otbcr carboniferous mate- rial When it was proposed to supply tbo Invalides in Paris with water gas, a oommission was appointed, consisting of the three eminent chemists, Dumas, Chevreul and Regnanit, to investigate the matter. They found that it oontain- ed from 80 to 40 per cent of carbonic oxide and reported that it would be dangerous to the occupants of the in- stitution to introduce, oven in experi- ment, gas obtained from the decompo- sition of water by tbo Kirkham promos -the odorless carbonic oxide and hy- drogen mixture.

A MOUNTAIN DAISY. It was in a corner of the conservatory behind the palms during one of the most fashionable functions of the sea- son. This seems a favorite situation with fate while weaving the web of human destiny. Fred Trevor, tall, dark, self contained, with power app -rent in every look, movement and feature, stood with hands crossed behind him before the magnificent woman • he had just seated. "You know, Miss Alden," as he leaned toward her, "that my knowledge of the social tenets is not profound." "You have only to follow your in- stincts, Mr. Trevor." "And you are tho gentle mentor who warned me against tho sin of flattery?" "If I have paid an undeserved com- pliment, it is to society in assuming that it has attained to your standard." "You're incorrigible, but I'll accept the verdict and carry out the thought I had in bringing you here. " She made no answer, save to withdraw her eyes from his and gather in the folds of her dress to make room for him to sit down. "I want to tell you something of my life and then ask your advice. 1 am not assuming that the story has any special interest for you, but I have a selfish de- sire for your opinion after I have told it.""But don't you know, as a general truth' that, with the nveragq woman, the man who is rich, famous and hon- ored glorifies his antecedents, no matter what they may be?" "If you were the average woman, I would never have sought this opportu- nity. When I first faced the world alone, I was a little, ill fed, sallow, ragged and half dressed boy in the Cum- berland mountains. I did not know that there was such a thing as a railroad, a steamboat, a book, a hereafter, music, culture or anything different from the detestable surroundings from which I longed to escape. My father had been killed in defending an illicit still, and mother jest seemed to go with the mountain flowers which I had gathered for her till they ceased to bloom that fall. During the winter I was kept alive despite kicks and bruises by a family that had me as their sole reli- ance in 'toting' water and gathering wood. "In the spring I went away; made up a little bundle and stole off in the night. Till the evening of the next day I hurried over the red clay roads and paths, terror of being caught and taken back crowding out every other thought and feeling. But hunger and exhaustion are not to be denied, and at last I went stealthily to a little cabin where a girl of my own ago was 'keepin' house in a hollow stump, just outside. She pat her frouzled head over the wall of her primitive abode to conduct an exam- ination. ' Who is you uns, boy?' ' Whar's you' par?' 'Whar's you' mar?' 'Whar mout you be a-goin?' were questions that I answered as well as I could. Then she said wisely, 'I 'lows thet you is rnnned away.' "This would have put me to flight, but she sprang out, told me to take her place, and while I sat in the cramped quarters she brought me all that I could eat and a paper of food to carry with me. After assuring me that she would have her 'par' shoot any one who might be trying to recapture me, she pointed the nearest way to a town, walked a way with me and said as we parted, 'I reckon you uns 'ill hev ter kim back some time an marry me fur all them wittles an fur tellin folks we uns haven't Bowen you when they comess'archin.' 1 promised her, of course." "But you never told us that yon were engaged," laughed his brilliant listener. "Where can we find your mountain daisy?" "I wish I could tell you. The inci- dent was ono of the events of my life. For the first time I know the sweetness of sympathy. I have grown to almost detest the people from whom I sprang because of their ignorance and lack of ambition, but the little girl of the hol- low stump has always had a warm place in my memory. Yon know moot of my experience in the far west. Before I had been there six months I found the old man known as Hermit Ben lying unconscious and apparently dying in one of tbo mountain gorge& I brought the aid that carried him to his abanty, procured a doctor and was his nurse till be recovered. He felt toward me as I did toward tbe ignorant little girl back in Tennessee. I had been good to him without any selfish motive, and he no sooner was well than be an- nounced that I was his boy Jim. This was my protection, for, despite the faot that be was a recluse, Ben was known as a bad man when interfered with and commanded a respect that was height- ened by the mystery with which ho sur- rounded himaelf. Something had mode him at enmity with the world. For years he told me nothing, though from the first be showed mo all the affection tions, for'it showed hind 't at o was working on virgin soil. Ho molded me Adulteration of Rubber. in accordance with his own conception In spite of the constant talk of a sub - of manhood, forever impressing upon etitute having been found for it, rubber me that ingratitude was the cardinal seems likely to be for some time to Fill When I could comprehend, he told come the stand by of the electrician for me that I would be rich, that I must insulating purposes. The manufuoturers spend money generously and that some who prepare tho rubber for the electrical time he would let mo into the secret and other markets complain of the in - which would place at my command all creasing adulteration of the raw ma- tbe immeasurable power of gold. "When it came time for mo to go east to college, I suggested that I should go back to the old place in the mountains and see if I could do anything for the at the head of the upper Natnkong basin girl who had been kind to me. No act I aro rich in rubber, and the tree' attain of mine ever pleased him more, and j a height of 200 feet, with enormous when I left him it was with unlimited girth. The great tribe of rubles collect - credit authorized by one of the greatest banking institutions of the west. I dM not find the girl, but learned that she had first been employed and then adopt- ed by a widow whose husband had fallen in the war. I left money with a lawyer, telling him to find the girl and have her educated. A year later this money was returned to me with notice that he could do nothing for me. I wrote for further information, but could get no reply. "Before my benefactor died be told me of the rich gold find ho had worked without sharing his secret with any one. You know how it proved a verita- ble mine of wealth, built up a thriving city and won me the title of a bonanza king. Ho also told me how a heartless women had wrecked his life and asked me to never abandon the search for the little mountain girl until I knew what had become of her and whether it was within my power to help her. Yon have no idea how man and boy, thrown to- gether as we were, could build a ro- mance upon a foundation so slender." "I think I understand. And you have found no trace?" "None that I could follow. After that fight when tbe strikers tried to de- stroy the machinery tut tho aline, my wounds threw me into a fever, and through all the delirium I talked iu the dialect of ley boyhood with the little maid I had never seen but once. That shows you the hold she bad upon me, and even yet I baso an ideal that mast either bo shattered or confirmed before I can bo content. Now for your advice. Should I marry before I have seen this girl?" "Not with my approval, Mr. Trevor. Go to the end of your foolish dream, or it might haunt you and some woman might suffer." "I had hoped for a different answer from you." And his eyes told the old, old story. "But I'm your friend and can give no other. This is our waltz." Within a month Trevor received n letter in a yellow, blotted envelope. The scrawl ouly said: "I reckon yon uns hev furgetted me. I'm back here again, an I hev hearn you uns was rich." Trevor shuddered. His romance bad died a cruel death. But gratitude was his strong point. Reluctantly he wont. When at length he rode to the front of the old cabin there was a woman in a linscy dress, her back to him, while she threw food to the noisy chickens. Just as he reached her side she turned with, "Well, you uns did kim back, hey?" "Miss Alden," gasped Trevor, as be crushed the "mountain daisy" against his breast.

Each ono seeks to attract guests by high sounding titles. For example, in Can- ton are hotels which flaunt the signs of The Fortunate Star, The Golden Profits (an unusually frank confession for a landlord to make), The Rank Confer- ring and The Happiness. Tho food is not so bad, but the traveler who goes to one of these houses to sloop will wish that he had gond to another.

Tho tea saloons furnish employment to singers and ventriloquists or elocu- tionists, who aro hired by the propri- etor to entertain tbo men who gather there to drink tea and gossip. Upon small tables are placed trays holding a variety of cakes and preserves, which aro served with each cap of delicious, freshly made tea. The house of entertainment peculiar to China is the dog and cat meat res- taurant. This does not mean that house- hold pets are there brought to be fed, but that Tabby and Fido are served up in stows. According to prices charged for other food, these stews are rather expensive, especially if tbo cat or dog chance to be black, and therefore more nutritious, according to popular notion. —Lippincott's Magazine.

When first col- lected, the rubber is very pure, but tho Nagas have acquired the trick of adul- terating it with earth and stones, and tho Assam rubber is not regarded with favor in the Calcutta market. It- is a sore point with tho Chinese merchants that the Nagas so exhaust the capacity of the rubber to receive adulteration that there is no opening left for the ex- ercise of their own ingenuity in tho sumo directiou.—St. Louis Globo -Dem- ocrat. The Englishman's Wit. There was un Englishman hailing from Hull on this side tho water re- cently looking at America, and, of course, he came to Washington. Ho was a largo man, weighing not less than 250 pounds and rising to it height of at least 0 feet 3 inches. Ho was, for an Englishman not yet Americanized, quite chatty and affable, after the ice was broken, albeit just a wee bit slow of wit. "I'm a Hull shipbuilder," ho was say- ing to a Yaukeo newspaper man in e small party of journalists who were blowing him off to it few ration'', wet and dry, itt foundry where such things aro manufactured. "Of course you are," responded the Yankee its bo measured his huge pro- portions and smiled. " You could scarce- ly make us believe you were only port of one, don't you know." Those iu hearing laughed, and the Englishman looked at the Yanked with a puzzled, • earning expression ou his broad and leanest face. "Really," bo pleaded, "I beg your pardon."

A story is going tbo rounds of tho English newspaper's about a gentleman who, finding a smoking concert weari- some, loft early and finished the oven- ing at a musical comedy theater. He sat near the stall door, and as it was °billy he kept on his overcoat. A lady in a private box by accident dropped an ear- ring of no groat value, but tbo trinket struck against tbo edge of the box front and dropped into the open top pocket of the gentleman's overcoat. The guileless man went home, when his wife, always carefully inclined, turned out his coat pockets. Tho sequel to this pretty story is not told, though its moral is obvious.

Pulp Fiber Ir, Found to Make a Very Good substitute, Silk of excellent quality itt being made front the spruce tree in Europe, and a movement is on foot to establish the industry in this country. It is said that the cost of making silk by this proc- ess 1s one-fifth that of the 'pinning from the silkworm cocoon. Tho fiber takes dye as readily as the animal prod - act and can be woven as securely and as rapidly. It is also claimed that the tensile strength of the fabric is as great, as if not greater than, the real silk. Although the 'Truce, lends itself to the prcxees better than most woods, oth- er forms of pulp can be, used, the in- ventor oveu declaring that old newspa- pers, after they have been cleaned of the printer's ink, may be readily made iuto silk. Tho ipventor, who has made the subject a study for 20 years, based his experimental work on the fact that the silkworm, in eating and assimi- luting the leaf of the mulberry tree, ob- tained the foundation of tbo silk from vegetable fiber. In trying to hit upon the particular chemical process that the original fiber went through before it was spun as 'ilk by the loom bo found that after tho fiber hud been separated it needed the chemical notion of a cer- tain form of glnoo'o. In the new treat- ment the tree is crushed. and tho result- ing fiber is mixed with glucose and then placed in deep metal tube. A disk, somewhat like a steam piston, is then forced down on the mous by hydraulic pressure until it is compressed into a very heavy gum. At the bottom of the tubs aro tubes terminating in tiny glass nipples, with exceedingly small aper- tures. Under the hydraulic pressure tho mixture is forced out of these glees nipples in silkiiko fibers, which aro so fine that the girls who aro employed in this portion of the process are oblige} to wear highly magnifying glasses fn order to sea when any of the fibers break. The material is then car- ried over electrically heated drums, which dry the ether and the alcohol out of it. It is then plunged into iced water, dried and spooled for tbo looms. —Buffalo Express. Color Blindness. Tho terut color blindness implies tin entire absence of the color sense, and there are a few persons who are in this condition, but it also includes all the forms of partial calor blindness in which the perception of ono of the fundamental colors—red, green and violet—is wanting. and which are known at red blindness, green blind- ness and violet blindness. Tho line be- tween these various kinds of color blind- ness and a perfect perception of colors is not sharply drawn, so that a largo number of persons have what is called a feeble color sense, which falls short of actual color blindness. Them is no doubt that color blindness in its vari- ous forms is much more common than is generally suppots-d, and it is more common among the imperfectly than the well educated classes, and it is, cu- riously enough, still more common among Jews and Quakers, probably from hereditary causes. It is ten times more frequent among males than fe- males in tho general population, but ameng Quakers it is nearly the same in both sexes. In the general popula- tion 4-10 per cent, or about 1 male in every 25, are color bliud.—New York Ledger. Lampreys. In tho rivers and lakes of New York state them is a bandit fish that roams at large and makes its living by robbing the gentlemen fish. Itoven attacks such vigorous fish as the black bass and the pickerel, fastening itself to them and sucking their blood until they aro dead. Tho name of this bold bandit is the lamprey. Professor Gage of Cornell university has 'seen 12,000 of these lam- preys spawning at ono time in the out- let of Cayuga lake alone, and ho has ul- timata] that they kill more fish than all of tho fishermen of the state put togeth- er. The lamprey is about the size and bas somewhat the appearance of an col. Professor Gage advise' some manner of killing them by mean' of traps in the streams as they go up in the spring to spawn.

My own ob.tn,ntiou and judg- ment gave the superiority to Mr. Glad stone till through. but I quite admit that Disraeli stncxl up well to his great opioueut and that it was not always easy to award the prise of victory. Tho two nun's vokcte were curiously un- like. I)i:,rneli had a deep, many, power- ful voice, heard everywhtlte throughout the hems., but having little variety or music in it. Gladstone's voice was tuned to n bights vote, was penetrat- ing, resonant, liquid and full of an ex- quisite modulation and tnnslo which RAW, new shades of meaning to every emphasised word. The ways of the mon Were in ttltuoet eve respect curi- ously unlike. Gladstone was always eager for ctuversatiin. He loved to talk to anybody about anything. Disraeli, even among hie moat intimate friends, was given to frequent Eats of absolute and apparently gloomy odlonoo. Gladstone, after his earlier parlia- mentary days, became almost entirely indifferent to dread. Disraeli always turned out 1n the newest trillion, and down to hie latest years went in tbo get up of a young man about town. Not loan different were the characters and temperaments of the two men. Glad- stone changed his political opinions many times during his long parliament- ary career, but be changed bis opin- ioila only in deference to the tome of a growing conviction and to tho r000g- nition of fact' and conditions which be could no longereonseiontiously dis- pute. Nobody probably ever knew what Mr. Disraoli'e real opinions were upon any 'edifice' questinn or whether be had any real opinions at all. Gladstone began tis ti Tory and gradually became changed into a Radical. Dteraeli began a' an extreme Radical under the pat- ronage of Daniel O'Connell and changed into a Tory. But everybody knew that Gladstone was at that a 'timer(' Tory and at last a mincero Radical. Nobody knew, or, indeed, eared, whether Dis- raeli ever was either a sineere Radical or a sincere Tory.—Justin McCarthy in Outlook. WHAT POSED HIM. Tho Mythological Centaur and the Proper Medleine Man. The mall with a vallso and an um- brella had bought ono or two cheap vol- umes of fiction, when ti mom preten- tious publication on a counter near tho door caught hie attention. It contained a number of elaborate pictures of myth- ological characters, and hewn' glancing rapidly through it when ono of the pages attracted his especial interest. He lingered over ft, turntkl several loaves and then went back. Afterhehad start- ed away and gone as far as the door the fascination again proved irresisti- ble, and he was soon gazing thought- fully at the same page. "Cat we do something more for you?" tusked the clerk. "You learn n great deal about what's in thew t oo'ae, don't you?" he asked. "We naturally become familiar with the contents in the ooureo of time," was the answer. " Well, it will probably be exposing my ignorance for me to tuck it, but I wish you would tell me what that is," and he turned the book around so that the salesman could ace. "I never had much chance to study up on natural history," he added apolitically. "That, sir, is a centaur," was the answer. His curiosity was not yet satisfied. He dropped his bead over on his shoul- der and looked at the picture with ono eye. "I suppose," he resumed, "that this thing wouldn't bother me so much if 1 hadn't recently gone on the mad for n patent medicine firm. That bus given me an interest I never had before. And you know whenever a man has just taken up a snbjeot it's hard for him to get it off bis mind. I don't believe that I ever will got over being puzzled about that centaur." "In what way?" "Supposing ho got nick?" "Well?" "Whom would they send for, it reg- ular physician or a veterinary surgeon?" —Washington Star. Night and Day.

From tb age of 20 to 85 be moved in a round brilliant triumph, and thence to the en down the hill of disappointment. II cared no longer for designing, and th art critic did not care for his big pi turns. He died too Boon to read the Dorn gallery prnepectns, which filled the pi- pers some yearn ago. Dore spoke Eng - 'fah indifferently, although bo was al- ways meaning to learn tho language. He liked Britons and their ways, bit not their dinner parties. "It is the din ser parties that kill me," ho said onoo. "How long and bow stupid they aro) Dorn was ono of the rano of marvelous boys, for at the age of 4 he painted a grand battle piece which, wo aro told, displayed "tiro and form and move- ment " At 15 his futber took him to Paris for his holidays. When Gustavo sew the gay city, be at once said, "This is the place for me?" But bow was it to be done? Only by taking his future into his own bands, He made 12 comic drawings of the labors of Hercules and took them to Mo editor of the Journal Pour Riro. The editor glanced at them and at onoo of- fered the boy a salary of 11,000 a year on the paper. His father returned bomo alone. He then did what many other artists would do if their oculists would permit them—bo painted by eunlight and worked for publishers by gaslight. A proud and precocious genius, bis im- agination brimming over with good things, he could not be bothered with academic routine, eo he entered himself at no school of art, but made a rush for the goal with a sneer at the trouble of training. His illustrations made a book run through countless editions and saved at least ono publisher from ruin. Ho painted a number of popular pio- tures, ho became the rage, and then be died.—New York Ledger. e' of Official Promotions Go and In Handl d WIth Enormous Bribes. 0 0 0 - CHINESE SQUEEZES. is Some Vaccination Statistics. Lord Lister, on rising to move the sec- ond resolution at a meeting iu honor of Edward Jenner, said that he would, in the filet place, correct a mistake into which be had inadvertently fallen in his address to tbo British association. He had said in error that owing to the compulsory revaccination of recruits smallpox wan unknown in tbo huge German army. A great parade had boen made of correcting this statement. If he had said that fatal smallpox was un- known in tbe German army it world have been the literal truth. In the pe- riod from 1874-5 to 1880-7 tbo only death from smallpox among German soldiers was that of a man wbo was shown not to have been properly vao- cinated. In 1880.7 there were seven cases of smallpox, iu 1886-0 four cases, and as these occurred among a force of 844,000 men, and as the figures of other years were similar, it might be said that though be bad fallen into error it was not a serious error. Ho then proceeded to analyze some of the statistics quoted against other ob- servations be had made, in his addt'eas to the British association and show that after 1894, when revaociuntion of re- cruits was rendered oompuieory, there bad been n remarkable and rapid de- cline in the number of deaths from smallpox in the German army; that even during the Franco-Prussian war., when the reservists, in some of whom the pro- tection afforded by vaccination might well be supposed in some cases to have worn itself out, were called out, though them was an increase in tbo mortality from smallpox, it was slight, almost in- significant as compared with tbo rav- ages the disease committed in tho French army, in which revaccination was not oompnlsory.—British Medical Journal. Curious Offerings by Venders A street vender said that anything that might bo offered could be eold in the street. Some thine sell better than others, and for some the demand is more oontinnoua than for others, but buyers can be found for anything if the article is brought to their attention. A knowledge of this fact prompts the offering sometimes of curious things or things that at first thought seem curi- ous, that ono would not expect to Geo' offered in this way. But tbo fact will 1 be recalled, if ono dwells for a moment! upon this subject, that them are always people to be Been standing around look ing at these novel offerings.

There were files of various sizes and of all kinds—fiat files, half round, square, three cornered and rattail—all at the unit ern prion of 6 cents each or six for a quarter. And there was a fair trade do ing in these files. The many people who pass in the course of tbo day along a busy street have manifold wants. Some among there want files.

But this is a very costly af- fair, for no one's presence in the cap- ital city is recognized until be has bribed the gatekeeper to register his name its having peeped into the city and duly report his advent. That Li Hung Chang had to pay an (Hormons sum in tips and bribers--overi1,000,000 --on bis last visit to Peking is a matter of common knowledge, but the narration of two instances that have come directly under my notice may per- haps servo to make the English reader realize even more vividly how inexora- ble and how shamelessly olx'n is the systematic corruption. Tho governor of Kiang-su province, who was an intimate friend of Primo Kung, thought to take advantage of bis great- influence by cunning into the city without bribing the gatekeeper. When be called upon his royal friend, Pring Kong exclaimed: "When did you come? I e ''ttiuot po.'tsibly recognize your pros - Once., for I have not seen your name in the ctlung-wen-mea report," and ho had to return and pay double the maul bribe to the gatekeeper before Prince Kunst would nateive him. Even more remarkable is the case of Tso-Tohnng- Tong, one of the greatest of our gener- als, who, having suppressed the Moham- medan rebellion in Turkestan, had no quired for the Celestial empire territory about half ti.s large as China itself. The emperor, who held hire in high esteem, wished to se' him and went a special summons calling him to an audience nt Peking. When on his corning to the city the chung-wen-men, or gatekeeper, de- manded (0,000 tael, he refused to pay anything. But even he was not officially reported, tied after he had remained several months in Pekin, waiting for an audience, the emperor issued another edict, tusking why he had never come Tso-Tchung-Tong reqs tided by telling the whole story, adding that, having spent all his own and his family's mon- ey on the support of soldiers during the war, he had no means with which to pay each a bribe. Ho appealed to tee emperor graciously to relieve him of the impoeiticnl. In reply the emperor said: "This (the Teeing of the gatekeeper) is a general and ancient usage, and the viceroy and generalissimo most submit to it like another. " And us Tso-Tchung- Tong really had not the money, his friends raised it subscription, the dow- ager empress herself contributing half the required sum.—Fortnightly Review. Newer Drink on the Water. "It is a curious fact, easily verified, that domesticated aquatic fowls do not drink while they are swimming," re- marked M. A. Fulton of Arkansan. "ATI old farrier friend of mine down in Arkansas eallod my attention to this a short time ago, and I have 'ince been closely observing the habits of ducks, geese and swnus in this regard to see if therm was any variation from the rule laid down by my friend. I have thus far failed to find the least exception. "Two weeks ago I watched a flock d tamp geese nearly all day to son if coo of theta would not dip his beak down in the water while paddling along its surface and take a drink. One shrewd old gander twice startled rot' by swims ming ashore and satisfying his thirst! after reaching terra firma, by guzzling oopiously and with manifest relish from the water along the bank and then twimming out to deep water again. Even the goslings went through the same performance when they grew thirsty. I would say the goose did thief because they had no better sense, but when I saw ducks and swans go through the Bamp performance I cannot bring al sweeping accusation of idiocy against the already too pinch maligned goose without including iu the indictment all other domesticated aquatic fowls. Prob- ably the foolish and useless habit is duo to the fact that when young thoee ani- mals are taught to drink from troughs and pans, and they haven't intelligence enough to 'shako it off when they gets grown. I cannot account for it in anyt other way."—St. Louis Republic. Safety Elevators. An improved system has boon adopt- ed in-respoet to the now elevators for the library of (=grass. They aro built with a special view to safety, and in addition to a safety catch aro provided with what is termed the air cushion— the latter not a real cushion, inasmuch, SA it is not soft, nor is it made and put in position, being formed ouly when the elevator is dropped to the bottom of the shaft, and thus all wear and tear on the enslrion is avoided. The principle fat very afmplc. At the bottom of the shaft is a well about 13 feet in depth, the aides of which are so arranged as to oome et the top within the sixteenth of an inch of the side of the elevator, thia space gradually growing larger until there is a distance of an inch and a half between the elevator and tbo shaft. When the elevator ie dropped from the roof, it pushes before it a quantity of air, and, dropping auto the well, the air is oounproeeod and, escaping very slowly, allowe the elevator to settle ea t - 1y, A Hasa Assauapttoa. !ties Poachblow—I bad no Ida noes at my Met last night.

She received her early educa- tion at Clinton, Mich., and graduated from Castleton Seminary, Vt. After graduation she taught school at Te- cumseh and Adrian, Mich., until 1855, when she was married to C. W. Nash at Clinton. They removed to Des Moines, Ia., remaining until 1858, when they came to Hastings. In 1862 they went to St. Paul and lived there some seven or eight years, and from there to Minneapolis, returning to Hastings in 1876, since which time she made this city and Sauk Centre her home. She leaves a husband and son, Clarence 0. Nash, of Minneapolis, and a sister, Mrs. E. P. Barnum, of St. Cloud. Mrs. Nash was a refined, cultured lady, her leading traits of character being thoughtfulness in everything she undertook. She was a consistent member of St. Luke's Church, an earnest, faithful, and de- voted helper in all church work, and will be greatly missed. The funeral was held from St. Luke's Church Sunday, at four p. m,, with interment in St. Luke's Cemetery. The sym- pathies of the community go out to the bereaved relatives in their sad affliction.

Kranz delighted the audience with a lovely solo entitled Delight. A Golden Boat Song by twelve pretty little girls was an enchanting number. Misses Susie E. Kranz, Maggie Kranz, and Lena Heinen gave a trio, The Carnival, with fine effect. Misses May Parker and Clara Johnson rendered a piano duet, Light Cavalry, in a most acceptable manner. A pleasing nov- elty was a pantomime, Romance of the Ganges, by seven little girls, with Miss Marie Noesen as reader, whose highly gifted elocutionary powers were duly appreciated. A solo, Mad- rigal, was excellently rendered by Miss Barbara Heinen. An operetta in one act, with a caste of six charac- ters, comprising Miss Maria Kimm, Miss Maggie Heinen, Miss Laurin Sommers, Jacob Durr, Miss Kate C. Steffen mandolin accompanist, and boarding school misses to the number of fourteen, proved a decided hit, the little folks acquitting themselves in a highly creditable manner.

"Yon have been looking at it?" she asked, mechanically taking up her pal- ette and brushes. "Yes," I said, and she seemed to ex- pect mo to say more. It's a good likeness, isn't it?" she remarked presently. "It is too flattering," I answered, sit- ting down opposite it. Si, looked at mo suspiciously, but my face was full of innocence. "Jack doesn't think so," she said. "But he is so absurdly vain," said I. "Not more than other 'nen, I sup- pose," sho retorted.

"Nothing definite; but ho wants me to alter it." "However painful it may be, you must keep your art pure.

"Truth is the highest flattery," I an- swered sententiously. "And if Meadows be not high minded enough to see it you will not regret his loss." "His loss? What do yon mean?" she exclaimed. "I saw him jest now. Ho done not appreciate your noble self sacrifice. Ho said if yon had really loved him you would not have pointed out his homeli- ness to tho world. Ho seemed to fool it a good deal." "Homeliness! He is beautiful!" she cried indignantly. "Really, my dear young lady, you can't say that with that almost speak- ing likeness in front of UR," and I pointed to the portrait. With a sudden movement she smudged a brushfnl of paint over the face on the canvas, "What aro you doing? Aro yon mad?" I said. "No, not now." "But remember the fine technique." For an instant ahe paused—bat only for an instant. Then she took some more paiut and rubbed it violently over the portrait. I saw Meadoelve looking wrong with this thing," and sho point- ed to the canvas. "That is Meadows' privilege," I said. I offered her my good wishes and told her I was sure she would be happy. She blushed prettily and said, "We are very happy now. " "But how have you satisfied your conscience?" I asked. "I understood you had vowed yourself to tho service of your art." "Oh, but I will never give np my work," she protested earnestly. "Jack knows that. He wouldn't want me to. I think it is so wrong not to use one's gifts. Don't yon?" "Certainly, and I'm glad Jack sees that. He mast be very proud of you." She hesitated. "I'm afraid he is not naturally vary fond of art," she said, "but I hope ho will soon learn to love it. "Ho is really awfully good about it," she went on. "He is going to let me paint his portrait, and then wo shall hang it in our dining room." "That will be delightful," I said. "Look, hero are some sketches for it," said Maud, drawing out some pan- els and charcoal drawings. "Don't you think they are like him?" I recognized Meadows in spite of the varying expressions Mande had given him and said so at once. She was pleased, and just then Meadows came in. "I am just admiring the studies for the great portrait," I said genially. "Ah, yes, they aro only rough sketch- es. Tho thing itself will be quite differ- ent, won't it, darling?" ho said, with, I imagined, a shade of anxiety. "Mr. Railer thinks they are excellent likenesses, Jack," sho Raid happily. He looked at me sharply, but I bold- ly repeated my opinion. A fortnight or so passed before I saw anything of Meadows or Maud, then I met Meadows. He looked worried, and when I asked nim after Miss Jeffries be said shortly, "I believe sho is quite well, thanks." "And how is tbo portrait going on?" "It's not going on at all at present," he answered. "How's that? Is she dissatisfied with it?„ "No, she's not," he said, emphasiz- ing the pronoun. "Surely you are pleased?" said I. "Look here, Railer," ho said, with a burst of confidence. "That wretched portrait is undermining my happiness. It's no more like me than that poster," and bo pointed to a flaming placard. "I'm not a vain chap, you know, but I do bar being handed down to posterity looking like a criminal lunatic." "Bat it can't be as bad as that? Maud would never do yon injustice," I said.

OLD HATS ON MANY HEADS. Where the Discarded Headgear of the Average Citizen Finds I4 Fate. What becomes of the old hats? The "stovepipes," derbies, fedoras, soft hats and straw hate of various kinds— where do they go when discarded by their owners? Every time a man bnye a now hat ho has the old one wrapped np, and either stowed away in the hat store for safe keeping or sent to him at his office or residence. Aa a rule he says, "Wrap it up, and I'll oall for it in a day or two." The hatter wraps it up, marks it with the customer's name, puts it away and waits. On the largest mirror in the hat store is a banner with it strange device, on it informing the public) that "we are not responsible for hats left with ns over 80 days." In the store they keep n book, and when Smith, Jones, Brown or Robinson leaves his old "lid" a note is made of it and duly entered on this book. After50 or 60 days have elapsed a general clearing out of the old hats is made, and they go to the secondhand stores along South Clark street, to the oostnmors' palaoes, to the oountry stores sometimes, all to to cleaned, relined and furbished up the best way possible. It is thus posaiblo for a man to be 'stopped on some chilly evening -and asked to assist some unfortunate who is wearing one of his old hats. Tbeeo old hats aro sometimes sant to the theaters to be used as headgear for "the rabble" or "an angry mob" or "a group of Ro- man citizens." Drivers of coal wagons), transfer wagons and teamsters general- ly who want it hat for ontdoor use bay a great many of these castaways. The soft hats can be made over most effec- tually,- but a stiff hat remodeled and dyed has an ancient luster that does not deceive the intelligent. Country stores sometimes take an in- voice of these veterans, and the result is a weird exhibition of headgear by the sages of the cracker barrels and hitch- ing blocks. A stiff but once broken can with diffi- culty be patched up aoceptably, but a soft hat may be worked over many'times and still be marketable. Laborers gen- erally wear soft hats, although a few sport derbies, and many n once proud, stylish hat may be seen during tbo usual Chicago street cleaning daye perched on the cranium of some stalwart wielSer of the shovel and pick. The peddlers buy the old hats. The milkmen, the sailors, rivermon, labor- ers and that meet shifting army of hu- man odds and ends which form mol an item in the city's population—these aro the men to whom the vast bulk of the old bats go. Hats that have glistened with newness and glossy nap, once start- ed on the downward path, go lower and lower till the ash heap in the alloy or the oblivion of an empty lot marks their final degradation.—Chicago Chronicle. GRANT IN DISGUISE. A Reconnoissance on the Quiet Which Took the Boys by Storm. "Ono day at Chattanooga," Kaye ono of the soldier boys writing in the Chi- cago Inter Ocean, "a lot of ns were loading hard tack and bacon into a wagon train that was to be sent to half starving men, and were giving more at- tention to badgering eachother than to the work in hand, when a lame man in fatigue dress, walking with some diffi- oulty with the assistance of a cane, palmed along the high porch of the quer- termaster's shod and looked down at the boys for a minute or two without it word. Then ho spoke quietly, saying: 'That is not the way to load boxes, men. Put them in straight and carefully. Do your work like soldiers. ' "Old Hannibal, who was slouching a good deal at his work, turned with im- pudent bravado toward the officer and was just in the act of saying that he did not want any quartermaster's clerk to give orders to him, when he 'started in 'surprise, saluted and, much to the as- tonishment of the boys, lifted his hat. Tho look of impudence wont from bis face like a flash, and he said, 'All right, general, wo will do it just as you want it done.' Then all the men recognized in the gniob man the commanding gen- eral of tho army. Grant followed every look and word, and he probably understood old Hanni- bal better than that rough old fighter understood himself. There was a twin- kle in his eye as he said: 'Remember, mon, these provisions are going to half starved soldiers. Yon ought to get as many boxes in tho wagon as possible. When melee are iso 'scarce and roads Iso dangerous, the more boxes in the wagon the more men you food.' Tho boys got up iu the wagon, straightened out every box and loaded all carefully as the gen- eral directed. This was only throe or four days before the battle of Chatta- nooga, and while the fight was in prog- reas old Hannibal said ho knew that Grant'wasn't limpin round Chattanoog for nothin.'

Quite recently the pretty wife of a preeperons manufacturer was looking into a confectioner's window when a barefooted lad of about 10 coolly walk- ed up to her and placed bis rugged arm through hers. "Ex000se this liberty, mum," bo said, with comical ceremony, "but I ain't got a mother o' my own, an I feels lonely. Will ye kiss me?"

Before be could do so, however, a little street arab saw his plight, and, running forward, picked up the pipe and restored it to him. The gentleman stared at tho boy without epoaking for awhile, and then pulled a handful of gold out of his pocket. "Take this, kiddie` and be careful how you spend it," be said.

No committee can toll whether a word is a good word or a bad word, or whether it is wanted or toot Old fash- ioned people will aiway,tall yon that a now word is not wanted and that there are plenty of exact equivalent's for it al- ready iu the language. This soema con - elusive, yet experience often proves that the were 7 wrong and that there was a abode of moaning which they did not perceive, but which was nevertheless prrsseing eagerly for exprorion. Thou- sands of words which we now consider absolutely owsontial to the language were, wben they were, first introdeood, described as quite unnecessary and the mem aurpluauge of pedantry or affecta- tion. Lot any cute turn to that most humorous of Elizabethan plays, "Tho Poetaster," and read the ammo in which the poet (Marston is the subject of the satire) is given an mane and made to bring up all the newfangled words which he has used in hie works.

This was thought a brilliant piece of satire at the time, and yet now half the condemned words are admitted by all readers and writers. In truth, there oan be no oensorship in literature. The only possible plau is to give every word its chance and allow the fittest to survive. It was in this souse that Dryden de- clared that ho proposed now words, and if the puhlio approved "the bill pulsed" and the word beeame law. In- stead of a writer being on tho lookout to throttle and destroy any and every new word or phrase that may bo eug- goated, it ought lobe his bwilness to ou- courago all true and fitting develop- ments of his native tongue.

A Tiger With a Glass Eye. This isn't a "stuffed" tiger, but a real live one, ferocious and strong. Ho is at present in the menagerie at Stutt- gart and looks as fierce with his glass eye as with the real ono. A serious affection of the muscles caused the boast to lose the sight of one eye. As the peblio didn't appreciate a ono eyed tiger, the beast was put under omelet) and the useless optio removed. This was a ttoklish operation, several strong keepers holding the beset down while the eye was taken out Ho was measured for a new eye, which had to be made with a Rpocial degree of ferocity. For the first week he tried hard to rob it out, but be now reets contented as the only wild animal with a glees oyo. Not the Stomach's Ewalt.

New Method In Public Iaalrsetioa, The promotion examination having been ubundoned, tbo teacher's estimate of the pupil's ability to do advanced work determines his promotion. As the teacher's estimate is shown on the report, the pupil and his parents know monthly what progress he is making toward advanAlad work. In the primary grades the teacher's judgment determines the reoord, and in the high- er grades tbo teacher's judgment is cor- rected by written recitations and testa This method pats a premium on the daily work and gives a 'moderato but oontinuoue stimulus rather than an ez- oessivo and 'spasmodic ono. Tests given by the principal and the 'superintendent show the proper completion of work and are useful to direct and broaden the instruction, but have nothing to do with promotlop. Pupils promoted pre- maturely are returned whenoe they Dame, and teachers become more careful there sffter. It may be said that tbo teaching test is but another name for the promotion examination, but a moment's thought will show that there is a groat differ- ence between tbo two Ono is a careful diagnosis at frequent intervals for the pqp�o of disoovering the disease in its incipiency in order to apply the proper remedies and to save the patient. Tho other is a blundering poet mortem to learn tbo cause of death. Common sense and experience unite in declaring that every efficient teacher knows which pu- pils are ready for advanced work better than a superintendent can know. All who have bad experience with this plan of promotion agree that never before were promotions made so satisfactorily and never before did tho teachers study individuals so closely.—W. J.

Aa incident that happened in a lame cotton fire in the lower part of Now York some years ago had iia comic side and was the means of the firemen dis- covering the main body of the !rep, which for some time they had been en- deavoring in vain to locate. The smoke was pouring out of near! everypartof the building, and although several entrances had been made it had been impossible to find the seat of the fire. The chief in charge ordered some windows on the third floor to be "opened up," and a ladder was aoeord- ingly raised and a flremau ascended. With the aid of a hook ho pried open the iron shutters, and, lamp in hand, stepped in—and disappeared. Hie oom- panlon upon the ladder, wondering w be had so suddenly vanishid from eight, peered in, and found that he had stepped into the elevator shaft that ware directly under this window and had fallen through to the basement, Hastily de- scending, he alarmed the others, and, forcing an entrance, they made their way le the cellar. Hero they found their comrade in a sitting position upon a bale of ootton, partly ermined and dazed from the shock of the fall, but other, wise uninjured. In his hand ho stili held the wire handle of his lamp—al that remained of it—while in front of tim, farther in the basement, blazing merrily, was the fire they had hetes en, delvoring to find. His fall had led him directly to it. On afterward examining the hatchway, or shaft, through which he had fallen, they found that it had haus running diagonally across at each floor, and in Nome marvelous way he had escaped each ono in his downward flight,—Charles T.

SECOND id:DITION. Our Iloys in Camp. The visit of the excursionists on Tuesday was duly enjoyed by all con- cerned. A new feature, the band oncert at one p. in., pleases them all, making two a day. The usual interest is manifested at the range, the company holding its own fully up to the average. C. W. Ingalls is chief musician again, and P. A. Ringstrotu has his former place with the ambulance corps. The members of Company E are having their usual good time at Camp Lakeview this week. There are no complaints about the meals, the boys furnishing their own provisions and cook, having better fare at a less ex- pense than last year. They are also boarding the regimental hand and some of the artillery. Minnesota Journalism. The Evening Press at Minneapolis has turned up its little pink toes and is no more. The Waseca Radical has changed to a six column quarto, with C. E. Graham & Sons as publishers. Cards are out announcing the mar- riage of Mr. N. A. Nelson of The Stillwater Journal, and Miss June E. Jenks, to take place on the 21st inst. The extremely hot weather of the past week has been accompanied by severe local storms, considerable dam- age being done to farm buildings in Carver. Mille Lacs, and Pope coun- ties. Several persons were injured in the latter. Duluth was damaged about $200,000 by excessive rains. G. H.

Judge William Lochren has ap- pointed Capt. 0. C. Merriam, of Min- neapolis, as jury commissioner for this district to fill vacancy. The sawmills at Minneapolis have shut down on account of high water, throwing five thousand men out of em ployment. The peddler law of last winter has been declared unconstitutional by- the supreme court, as being class legisla- tion. The Elks grand lodge at Minne- apolis this week was very largely at- tended by members of the order. Hampton Items. Mrs. ,J. W. Hopkins is quite seri- ously ill. Adam Weiler has a young stranger at his house. New gates have been put up in the Hampton cemetery. Haying is very late this year, not being commenced yet. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Rowley, of Rich Valley, celebrated in Hampton. Mrs. Peter Endres has returned from a week's visit with her parents at St. Michaels. A brother came home with her. Bichard Barry was exhausted by the heat yesterday afternoon while working on the railroad track below the bluff. He was rendered uncon- scious and remained so for sometime. Dr. Dimmitt was called, and he had the man removed to the city hosp°tal. This morning he showed much im- provement and is out of danger. Mr. Barry resides at Hastings, and is about thirty years old.—Red Wing Republican, 8th. Tommy Dempsey asked a tramp at the Northwestern depot last week to assist him in loading baggage on to his wagon, and he would pay him. He replied, "I don't have to work.” Tommy found the same tramp at his mother's home ready to sit down to a fat meal; he collared him and show- ed him the door, and he went.—St. Peter Tribune. A young man at Heron Lake kissed his honalula a dozen times in quick succession the other evening, and then inquired if she really loved him. As soon as the young lady could catch her breath she replied, "Well, you don't suppose I am enduring this for my health, do you?" and confidence was restored.—Jackson Pilot. liistoriesigociety 2.,1w +w1+i11r School Board Proceedings.

H. Lewis on text books wits adopted: Hastings, Minn., July 7th, 1897. Gentlemen of Board of Education: I take pleasure in making the fol- lowing report of our experience in furnishing free text books to the children in.the public schools for the past four years: Total ..um paid for copy and te.1t Woks .$1.35.5.10 Present value of books on hand. 807.42 Net cost of books four years 357.68 Average net mutt per annum.. . 06.98 .\verave annual CLrullTnrnt. - 678 Average net cost per eupltn per annum 118 5cents. The above result is astonishing, nevertheless it is a fact that we have provided the children in the public schools of this city from the lowest grade to and including the high school for four years, at a net aver- age annual cost of 14 2-5 cents. Under the old system the average cost in the high school was about $6.50 per capita per annum; and in all grades between $3 and $4 per capita per annum. The cost to the public under the system in vogue for four years past has been about what pupils formerly paid for copy books alone. But the great saving in cost is not the only advantage gained. Under the free text book system the enrollment at the beginning of the school year increased 10i per cent. the first year, and 20 per cent. the second year under the free text book system. From 10 to 20 per cent. more of the pupils enroled now get nine months schoolintr that formerly remained out of school from one to six months until money could be spared with which to provide them with books, further more, at least 30 per cent more of the pupils continue their attendance in and through the high school who were formerly barred because of the great cost of high school books. Again a pupil must attend school forty days to draw public money; and as the state fund amounts to about $4 per capita and an increase of twenty- five scholars entitled to apportion- ment of the state fund would bring into the treasury an added fund free text books, it may be safely asserted that it has not cost this city one cent to provide free text books the last four years. Respectfully, J. H. LEWIS. Messrs. Meloy, Hanna, and Mc Hugh were appointed a committee to investigate the schedule of teachers' salaries as compared with other towns in the state of about the same popula- tion • The cash account of Supt.

Charles McDevitt, of St. Paul, spent. Sunday at his old dome here; .John Kennedy and two daughters drove here from Lebanon on Sunday. A large number of the people of Bloomington are in camp near Round Lake. Mrs. D. Moran and children, of St. Paul. are the guests of Mrs. P. Moran. Haying commenced last week, con- siderable of it being spoiled on the ground. Will McCauley and Annie Slater, of St. Paul, are the guests of Nellie Tummins. Mrs. M. Flanigan anti son, of St. Paul, are spending a few weeks with C. McDavitt. M. Hoy and Miss Hoben finished their terms at the two Burnsville schools last week, treating their pupils to a picnic at Crystal Lake Thursday. The celebration of July 5th was one of the beat of its kind. Father Rhatigan realized about $200 from the entertainment. A hall was given in the evening at Campbell's Hall, with representatives from Credit Riv- er, Rosemount, and Lakeville present, besides a large number from our own locality. Pt. Douglas Berns.

A short time ago a developed plate was sent to the editor by ono of the members of the Camera club on which the image was partly reversed—that is, instead of being a negative it was al- most a positive. Tho cause of this is what is termed solarization—in other Words, the plate was very much over- exposed, and on development Dame out a positive instead of a negative. If a plate coated with silver salts is exposed in the camera or under a negative be- yond a certain time, a change takes place in the silver salts, which results in a positive instead of a negative. This is the reason why objects which reficut light strongly show clear glass in the negative. They aro overexposed, and the image produoed is a positive. There are several processes by which a negative may be turned into a posi- tive during the process of development Ono of the simplest is as follows: Ex- pose the plate as for an ordinary nega- tive and develop until the imago may bo seeu distinctly on the back of the plate. Rinse off the developer, and place the plate in a solution made np of a quarter ounce of iodide of potassium, 2% ouncesof bromide of potassium and 25 ounces of water. Let it remain in this solution from throe to five minutes, wash well in running water, and then redevelop the plate with fresh develop- er, continuing the operation till the negative imago has tnrned to a positive. Rinse the plate, fix and wash in the same way as for an ordinary negative.

During the month of July or early in August they gather together in large numbers, pre• watery to migrating in search of food or for change of condition. When set- ting out on this journey, they stiok themselves together by meads of some glutinous matter and form a huge ser- pent -like muss, often reaching a length of between 40 and 1(0 feet and several inches in thickness. As the seiare is only on an average about three thirty - emends of an inch in length, with no appreciable breadth whatever, the num- ber required to compose a continuous lino of the size above mentioned is al- most incalculable. Their pace is, of course, very slow, and upon meeting an obstacle, such as a stiok or stone, they will Dither writhe over or around it, sometimes breaking into two bodies for this purpose. M. (Gerin-Meueville, a celebrated French naturalist, says that if the rear portion of this wonderful snakelike procession be brought into contact with the front part and a sort of circle formed the insects will keep moving round in that circle for hours without apparently notioing that they are getting no "for- rader" on their journey. If tbe proces- sion be broken in two, the portions will reunite in a short time. The Norwegian peasants, when they meet one of these trains, will lay some article of their clothing, such as a belt or handker- ohief, on the ground in front of it. If the procession passes over it, it is re- garded as a good sign, but if it makes a way round the reverse is believed.

A traveler in Venezuela gives au in- teresting description of the filth of the Orinoco country. He says the party sev- eral times came in contact with tbe carib fish, which are the most ferocious iuhabitants of the water known. The fish ank not over 14 inches long, but they travel in seboola. Their teeth aro three cornered. Any living object which attracts their ntteultion is attacked with fury. Mr. Thompson tells of an Indian woman who entered the water to fill a bucket. She was attacked by the fish and reached shore only to die in 15 minutes. The flesh was literally torn from her body. Mr. Dart, who was with Mr. Thompson, caught one of the fish and pulled it upon the bank. Ho held the earth under his foot while be pointed at the peculiar teeth with his finger. With n quick movement the car - ib flopped out from under Mr. Dart's foot and seized him by the finger, cut- ting that member to the bone. The fish frequently have been known to bite or- diunry fishhooks in two. Another fish which the party often came across was the morocoto, the fla- vor of which is like Lake Superior whitefish, only more delicate. The mo- rocoto is provided with molar teeth and subsists on vegetable matter, which it thoroughly innstientes before swallow- ing. Another peculiar creature found was the morocoy, a species of land tur- tle, which at night utters a cry of won- derful sweetness, plaintive and clear.— Exchange. Marled Ore.

Canadian and Italian asbestos will find a serious competitor in the blue as- bestus recently discovered in the Cape Colony, ainc+e tits South African product is less than half as heavy and furnishes fibers considerably finer and longer than any other. The South African fiber has been worked into webs, which are but little inferior to those made of vegetable fiber and are absolutely fireproof. Twine, cord and rope made of this blue asbestos will not only resist fire, but also most of the known chemicals corrosive vapors Pers and atmospherio influences. These final- ities will open u new field for tbe'em- ployment of asbestus fabrics in chemical laboratories and for the calking of chemical apparatus.. In order to test the resistance of the new material a blue asbestus rope of about throe -fourths of an inch in diam- eter was weighted at one end with 220 pounds and exposed to a constant flame from a large gas jet, so that the rope for a considerable length was surrounded by fire. The cord only broko after 22 hours. Still it was a trifle lighter than a rope of the same diameter made of Russian hemp. Compared with a new hemp rope, the asbestus rope has two- thirds of its strength, but as the ropes get older the proportion is altered iu favor of asbestus ropes, since they suffer but very little from the influences of the atmosphere. Another novel application of this ma- terial is the working of blue asbvstns fiber into mattresses for hospitals. They are cooler in summer and warmer in winter than those made either of ani- mal hair or vegetable fiber, and no ver- min can live in this mattress. Experi- ments are now being made of working 1 this fiber into cloth for firemen's ap- pareL Of course the long fiber of blue asbestus can also be employed for all the uses to which white asbestos has been put heretofore. While a trifle more expensive, its superior qualities made it well worth the difference.—Philadel- phia Record. A bullet In His Heart. "It is generally thought that a man cannot live very long after getting a bal- let in his heart," said a South Carolin- ian, "but there is an instance on record in my state of a man carrying a bullet in his heart five weeks before death. The matter is fully authenticated, the post mortem examination haying been made by Dr. Curran B. Earle, n nephew of the late United State's Senator Earle. The wounded man was named Tom Ferguson, and lie was shot by a negro named Pock Chaney at Greenville, S. C. Ferg son lived fire weeks, and at the post mortem examination a 82 cali- ber bullet was found firmly imbedded in the exterior wall of the heart. The cause of Ferguson's death was the inun- dation of the pericardial cavity, which impeded the action of the heart, which in plain English means that Inc cavity surrounding the heart was punctured and flooded to such an extent that the heart was prevented from beating. This carrying a bullet in the heart is a re- markable ca..se, but the physicians were not able to say, without tedious renearrh, whether it has a like in the medical records or not. A patient, it is said, may live several days with n wonadedd heart, and a metaphorical wound, how- ever severe, may not shorten his life at all, but the cwiea, if any, where one carried a bullet in this sensitive organ so long are few and far between."— Washington Star.

The medicine bags of Nava joos, Zunis and Apaches, all kindred tribes in New Mexico and Arizona, contain a carious powder, known as corn pollen or hod - dentin. This powder, which is the pol- len of a rush, and also of maize, appears to be used as a medicine, being eaten by the sick and put on the head or other parts to ease pain, but principally as a sacred offering to the sun and moon and as a sanctifier of everything. A pinch of it is thrown toward the man and then toward the four winds for help in war or the chase, is put on the trail of a snake to prevent harm from it, placed on the tongue of the tired hunter as a restorative, hong in bags round the necks of infants as a preserv- ative and sprinkled on the dead. In fact, every action of these Indians is sanctified by this powder, so that, a Captain Bourke writes in the ninth volume of "The Report of the Bureau of Ethnology" (Smithsonian), "plenty of boddentin has come to mean that a particular performance or plalo is m- orsel. " Captain Bourke shows many analogies to the use of this sacred powder both in the east and among the ancient Greeks and Romans, and it is clear that similar practices with regard to "med- icine"—that is, magio—have prevailed everywbere and in all ages, for super- atitlon seems to be the universal heri- tage of man, so deeply ingrained in his very nature that all the efforts of phi- losophers and "thirteen" clubs will not avail to root it out. Medicine bags or amulets will continuo to be worn open- ly or secretly not only by the wild In- dian and the Kaffir, but by many among ourselves who cling to the beliefs band- ed down probably from' remote prehis- toric ages.—Chambers' Journal A Franchise •For Sale. "The biggest thing I ever had on tap," said a citizen of Alabama, "was when I first realized that it was necessary for me to go out and do some- thing for myself. Before I cam( face to face with this emergeucy I had been abroad and was impressed with the way they must make money at Monte Carlo. It was mathematically a euro thing and plenty of it. "After I had interested twc friends we all went to Mexico, and by lavish promises succeeded in getting a Iran- chieo from the government and were to conduct a mammoth gambling institu- tion under its protection. Not the least promising feature was a lottery, and there were to be all the other allure- ments that attract the devotees of chance. "It was no trouble to interest all the capital we wanted. Men of the east ad- vanced the money, with the one proviso that they should not appear in the transaction. We imported some of the wisest gamblers of the west, and of oourse they went through their paces just to show what they could do when the vast enterprise became active. Ono night we three proprietors took a band to familiarize ourselves with the sports. By sunrise the gamblers had every dol- lar that was to go into our Monte Car- lo, and we put in five years working in a silver mine to reimbnrse our balers. We have the franchise yet."—Detroit Free Press. They Liked Victoria. As an indication of the popularity at- tained very early in her life by Princess Victoria it is interesting to hear that great indignation was expressed all over England when it was known that the child bad not been present at her un - do's coronation in 1881. Some said that the Duchess of Kent was in fault, oth- ers blamed the prime minister, and some asserted that Queen Adelaide was responsible for the omission. Letters and articles' were published in all the newspapers, and the sensation did not subside until the Duchess of Kent ex- plained that, owing to a weakness of the ankle's from which the little Victo- ria was then suffering, it had been thought wiser not to expose her to tho long standing which attendance at the ceremony would have necessitated.— Philadelphia Ledger.

The analysis of Berthelot not only shows that the Chaldean weapons, orna- ments and tools of 5,000 or 6,000 years ago were of pure copper, but that iron, silver and gold wore known.

He was a man of kindly nature and sterling integrity, a public spirited citizen, deeply inter- ested in the welfare of the communi- ty in which he lived.

Gardner, now deceased, their well known elevator on the levee having always done a large and profitable business. Was elected vice president and director of the First National Bank in January, 1873, and has been a director ever since. In religion he was a Roman Catholic.

"You've got your new house meet done, haven't you, John?" said Martha Mills to her brother us they sat togeth- er in the twilight. "Yes, Marthy, I guess we shall be in it—well, perhaps by Thanksgiving." Martha made no reply. Her bead 'Topped over her knittiug. Presently o got up and poked the fire, keeping Vest hold of the big black cat that lay purring in her lap, then resumed her work, whieh she did mechanically, not requiring much light save when she dropped a stitch. "Say. Marthy, you never felt quite right about my building a new house, did you, now? You might as well own it, because there's uo aced of tnisunder- standing;s at our time of life. You're sot on living here as long as yon live aiivv Bert. "John, what made you build a new house anyway? Wasn't this ono large enough for us two? You ain't thinking of getting married again, aro you?" " What put that idea into your head, Mart by?" "I don't know anything about that, but the idea come near two months ago, :and it has come to stay, seems, though, for I can't get rid of it." " Well, now," said John Mills, set- tling himself down more firmly into his chair, "I'11 tell you jest how it is. You'll allow that I've been a widower a good respectable length of time. Fourteen years ago Sally went away and left me. I'd set a good deal of store by Sally, and she was one of the beat wives to use for ten years. But I ain't so very old, Marthy—only o2. " "Well, go on, John, for mercy's sake. Yon needn't stop to tell me your age; I knew it before you did. She mast be a proud crittur if this house ain't good enough for her. I was looking at it this afternoon, as I came along up the road from Maria Saunders' and thinking Trow kind of picturesque it was, with the setting sun shining on the big chim- ney.; and long, slanting roof all covered with woodbine. And then the old trees in the orchard, all red with fruit, and the rio'e, ample barn and the coreffeld behind. I tell you, it's enough sight prettier than your place across the road, with the house so straight and stately. You ha, eu't got a brick oven, either. Jus' think of this oven, of the bread it has baked and the rye and injuu pud- ding, nut to mention the beaus :lid the turkr y and ducks and chickens." "Who's taking up the time now, Marthy?" "That's so, John. I won't say any more. " "Well, it's Maria Saunders. You al- ways liked her, didn't yon?" "For the land's sake! I don't know why I didn't think of her. She's been uncommon obliging to mo lately, giv- ing me some of her best eggs to make custards with, 'cause the whites whip np so crisp and frothy. Yes, I suppose I liked her well enough; it might have been worse." Her heart smote her the next moment. The last clause did not sound kind, and it had slipped out with- out a deliberate intention on her part. But her brother was not a sensitive per- son. He had, moreover, expected something of direct oppositiou to his plans, and this extremely mild protest slid off the surface of his mental consciousness without stirring a fiber. Martha Mills was four years older than her brother. She had lived with him since the dark winter day when the meek, quiet figure that had moved about the house, an angel of good will and good works, had been laid in the village churchyard. The snows of God fell softly all that night, and next morning no one could have found her resting place. Martha had fondly hoped that her brother would not marry again, beta, having by nature a philosophical spirit, she accepted the inevitable with sereni- ty and a reverent optimism. If she had read her Browning, sho would most likely have taken for her chief motto: God's in his heaven. All's right with the world. "Marthy," said John Mills one even- ing, "I always wondered you never married Milo Searle. I thought one spell you was engaged to him sure." "To tell the truth, John, I was al- most, but somehow you kind o' picked on biro and made sport of him. So I began to think perhaps be wasn't worth having after all." "You'd ought to have had a mind of your own. Why, bless your heart, I never meant 'anything, only just to plague you a little. He was about the likeliest fellow in town. They say he's made quite a pile of money out west and is coming back to spend his days here. You didn't know it, did you, Marthy? "Yes," said Martha, with a little -tre- mor in her voice. "MariaSaunderstold the yesterday. He's going to marry lganoy Neal." "What, that wcazened old maid? I don't believe any such thing." "I guess it's so," answered Martha in e resigned tone. "Nancy told her her- melt " The house was not finished at Thanks- giving time, bat the second week it December found the brother and sister in their new abode and very nearl3 "settled," for Martha had worked night and day to get everything in order 'so that her brother and Maria Saunders could be married on Christmas day at noon. She was to live with the couple. Maria insisted upon it. She liked Mar- tha and knew she could have pretty Much her own way without any trouble. The day before Christmas was mild and cantly., Martea had mado up ner mind to have one good visit all by her- self in the old hoose. The sitting room had not been touched. It was the only room that looked like home. After din- ner she went in, made a good fire in the Large, old fireplace and seated herself with her knitting. How pleasant and oozy it seemed, and how she dreaded more and more to leave it. "I don't see how my mind is ever goiug to fit into those large high roonis so that it will work clear as it bas done here. I shall be all confused and floundered, I know I shall, and they'd say I'm cranky and disappointed about John's getting mar- ried again." How quaintly the blue spiral flames Curled and danced in and out of the logs, making fantastic figures on the oak beams that formed the ceiling. "I'm afraid I shall never get used to stoves, but I'll try hard," she added, with emphasis, starting up us the door opened. A tall, rather stont walked in. "You did nothear my kuock, I fanny, Miss Mills." "No, I heard no knock. My room and I were visiting together, and I was busy thinking." "Yes, I know; yon are not to live here any more, I understand—but don't you know me, Martha?" "You are Milo Searle. I heard you wero coming back to stay." "Well, I should like to if I can ar- range things to suit me." "Don't you like the west?" "In some respects I do, but somehow the old town has an attraction for me that I cannot find anywhere else. And not only the towu, Martha, but one that the town contains." "Yes, I suppose so," replied the other quietly, "but I don't see why yon should come to tell mo about her. I have heard all aboujit." "You've heard all about what, Mar- tha? I haven't told any one my inten- tions." "Perhaps she has, then." Mr. Searle's pleasant bine oyes opened to their full- est extent, and be rose from his chair and stood before Mies Mills. "Will you kindly tell me who she is?" he asked. looking down into her face. "Aren't you engaged to marry Nancy Neal? She says you are." "What! That wizened old maid?" and he laughed till the room rang. "Why, my dear woman, I've never cared for a living soul all these years excepting yon, and if you won't marry me I shall have to go off to the prairies again. I don't suppose I was quite your equal in the old days, but I guess I've improved some." "I guess you have, too, Milo. You're a good deal ahead of me now." "Well, I've been prosperons and made money enough to retire on, and, what's the best of the whole, Martha, I's -o got it all honestly. It's good, clean money, every cent of it." "There's no need to tell the that, Mi- lo. I know what you are." "We can live here if your brother will sell me the farm. I shouldn't want a pleasanter place." "I don't believe thero will be much trouble about that, for we couldn't seem to decide what to do with the house. But bow about marrying au old maid? I've been ono a good many years now, yon know." "Never to me, my dear; never to me. I can see the same pink and white skin, the brown wavy hair, and the bright, dark eyes that used to shine out from the little straw hat long, long ago." The fire died down, but they slid not care, for they had gond back into the warm land of youth and springtime, and the room was full of rainbows and apple blossoms.—Boston Poet. At Her Expense. Not so very long ago a man took a girl and her chaperon to the theater. Circumstances, it so happened, com- pelled him to dress hurriedly, and he thus found himself at the box office minus any money in his pockets except just enough for one seat. This was high- ly embarrassing, of course, but there was no help for it, so the man went to the girl and told her his predicament. "Oh, that's all right," said the girl. "I have plenty of money with me, so I'll jest pay for the other two seats." And sho handed her purse to the man, who over and over again thanked his stars that he was with such a practical, sensible sort of a person. Now, the play that night was humor- ous, distinctly so. It did not deal in horse play, but it relied npon delicate little subtleties of dialogue and citua• tion to supply it with fun, which sub- tleties were not, of course, perceivable, except to those blessed with a very keen sense of humor. This, however, was just what the girl with the man was. Bo - sides her practical good sense she had plenty of humor, and she therefore found much enjoyment in parte of the performance that the man could see no fun in at all. Perhaps it was that he was still smarting too much from tbo awkward predicament at the box office to see fun in anything. Perhaps a guil- ty conscience mado him suspect that not all the girl's merriment was directed at the stage—there are times, yon know, - when you want to laugh so badly that almost anything will do to laugh at— but at all events ho was ill at ease. At last the girl broke forth into perfect peals at something that none of the rest of the audience smiled at. It was the last straw. Turning to the girl, the man remarked, "I'm afraid you're laughing at my expense," "Oh, no, indeed," said the girl, "I'm laughing at mine." —New York Sun. The Etruscans.'

Perhaps the greatest tea drinkers of all are the Moors, because to them it is everything. Mohammedans do not drink spirits—which is more than can be said of the Russians—and, therefore, the Mohammedan sips his tea as his one and great consolation. The pomp with which it is mado is atsuzing to a for- eign mind. Every one squats on the floor. The head of tbo house sits down beside the teapot, with great pomp the servant, who seems invariably to be Called Mo- hammed or Absalom, briugs in the boil- ing urn, and, after the master has rinsed the pot, put in the tea, filled the pot with water, waited a curtain num- ber of minutes and skimmed off the frothy substance that has risen to the snrfne°, he packs the precious teapot as full as ever it will go with freshly grown mint. Nor is this all. Ho takes as much sugar as the stranger imagines would fill the entire pot, and, handful after handful, pokes it into this mint flavored concoction, lets it stand some minutes, and then pours out a little of tbo weak but highly flavored tea and drinks it himself, to assure his guests that it is not poisoned. Then solemuly oups are filled for the visitors, and, with the greatest pomp and wonderful salaams, they aro band- ed around—to the men first, of course, as women, even foreign women, count for nothing in Mar0000. Three cups of tea aro the regulation supply, and it is an offense to leave any Moor's house until ono has solemnly managed those three cups, enjoyed with many bows and gracious salutations, and generally accompanied by extraordinary cakes, which the Moors love, but which to the foreign taste—well, ono has only to ex- plain that they are fried in rancid but- ter, considered by the Mohammedans a delicacy.—Now York Herald.

The tradition cherished by every schoolboy that one Englishman is equal to three Frenchmen probably originated in the passage quoted by Mahan from one of Nelson's letters, "I always was of opinion, have ever acted upon it and never have had any reason to repent it, that one Englishman was equal to three Frenohmen. " This insular conceit was rudely dispelled in the case of a young man who went from this parish to take a coachman's place in Paris. Writing home on one occasion, he says, "You've !word tell how one Englishman is a match for three Frenchmen, but don't you believe it, mother, for I've tried it and em now in the hospital." To hear the old woman gravely recite this is a delicious piece of comedy.—Notes and Queries. Grant am a Soldier. I1 is sometimes asked where General Grant got his military genius. It was simply a part of his nature. God gave it to him. Almost by intuition it may be said that he knew what ahould be done in an emergency. Some men have to study very hard in order to learn a certain thing; others will learn it easily and naturally. Grant could go on the field and post a line of battle in 20 minutes, while another military man who bad been a hard student might take a day or two to do the same thing. I regard General Grant as one of the beat all around soldiers that ever lived. —General Longstreet in New York In- dependent. Milton was born in 1808 and died in 1874.

His greatest poem was writ- ten by the hand of an amanuensis, and his most serious annoyance was the pet- ulanoo of his daughters, who sometimes refused to write when he was in the mood to compose.

A.—Well, and what's the news, dear friend? B.—Good news, and all that you may tell me over and above. A.—Make me a present of your name. B.—You are heartily weloome to 1t.

A living example of this curious dis- trust intrust and caution, hest by a mere acci- dent the common enemy ehonld learn a secret of significance, is an old man named Costoro Voludhaki, who, like several others Cretans whom I met, is a bale centenarian who bas passed through eight revolutions unscathed. He carries secrecy to such a point that be never allows oven his own friends and partisans to knew where he sleeps at night. It is hardly surprising if, an - der these Circumstances, contemporary Cretans bavo iuherltod the unenviable reputation of their forefathers for nn - veracity.

About the eud of January, or when the sou again appears above the bori- tton, many families at the two Eskimo villages near Point Barrow, in Alaska, leave their winter houses and travel in- land 75 or 100 miles to bunt reindeer along the upper waters of the large riv- ers that flow into the Arctic ocean eget of the point. Here they encamp in large, comfortable suow houses, usually dug ont in a solid snowdrift. Like all Eskimo winter houses, these are enter- ed by means of a long, ]ow tunnel, and opening out of one side of this tunnel there is a fireplace built of snow slabs. A young mau and his wife moved down from Point Barrow after winter had set in, and as there was no smote- modation for them in any of the per- manent wooden honest they built them- selves a small but from blocks of snow and roofed it over with sailcloth. I made them a visit one afternoon and found the house pretty Cold and uncom- fortable in spite of the largo stone lamp that was burning all the time. The en- trance tuunel was about ten feet long. At the left baud as yon entered and Close to the door was the fireplace. This was about 2}s feet square and neatly btilt of slabs of know, with a smoke holo at the top and a stick stuck across at the proper height to hang a pot ori. When the first fire is built in such a fireplace, there is oonsiderable melting of the surface of the snow, but as soon as the fire is allowed to go out this freezes to a hard glaze of ice, which afterward melts only a very little. These fireplaces are need only for cook- ing, as the Eskimos rely wholly on the oil lamps for warming the dwelling.— Lippincott's Magazine. Do Women Shave?

"Tho most thrilling incident I ever saw in a oourproom," remarked a west- ern attorney the other day, "was in southern Kansas. The sehior lawyer of the county bar was a distinguished looking and courteous gentleman 'of the old school,' who had little patience with the joking always going on during court recess. He was exceedingly near- sighted, but had a habit of laying his glasses on the table during his speeches to the jury. One day, as his back was turned toward the other lawyers, one of them picked up the glasses, and with a bit of mncilage fastened to the lenses pieces of tissue paper which exactly cov- ered the glass—riot particularly notice- able, but at the same time preventing vision through them. Soon the owner of the glasses came back to the table to examine some papers for reference in his address. Ile put on the glasses, looked at the paper, adjusted them again—and then a pallor overspread his face that was pitiful to Fee. He stag- gered to a chair. "'My God, gentlemen, I am blind!

Before any one Could speak or the sheriff rap for order the attorney lifted his bead, took off the glasses and had his eight again.

A Chicago physician is responsible for revolutionary theories in regard to fruits. He undertakes to prove the prao- tical worthlessness as food of all culti- vated varieties. Hyper -acid fruits, such as the lemon, shaddock, orange, apple and cherry, he asserts, should never be eaten. Subacid fruits, such as the grape, pear and peach, may be eaten, but with extreme caution. Sweet traits, like the fig, banana and date, bo un- qualifiedly commends, as they are sim- ply wild fruits and have not been changed from their natural oondition. or flavor by man. On the other hand, the fruits he condemns, he says, are forced or abnormal variations, as is shown when cultivated and afterward allowed to run wild. They immediate- ly retrogr'adt and assume the sour and inedible qualities originally inherent in them. Man, he claims, has not been able to make a proper food of them. Tbey aro unnatural combinations of fruit elemeete, and are frequently prone to cause digestive disturbances when taken into the stomach. By free- ing seedlings, grafting and assiduously cultivating under artificial conditions man has modified the progenitors of our present domestio fruits, be hu made them acceptable to the palate, but he has not eliminated their harmful qualities. Stories of Brahms. Many stories aro told of how the late composer Brahms treated pianists and singers who were eager to get hie cxiti- ciani. If one of these aspirants for his favor was fartuuate enough to find him at home and be reoeived, Brahms' first ooucern was to seat himself on the lid of his piano, a position from which be rightly deemed few would have the te- merity to oust him. If this failed, he had recourse to the statement that the instrument was out of tune. "Oh, that does not matter," remarked one cour- ageous individual. "Perhaps not to yon, but it does to rue," replied the master. On Cue oocasion he was jus' leaving his house when a long haired youth, with a bundle of music under his arm, hailed hive with, "Can you tell mo where Dr. Brahms lives?" "Certainly," answered the master in the most amia- ble manner, "in this home, np three flights. " And so saying he hurried away. A Translation.

PLEASURE IN LONDON EARL'S COURT IS THE SUCCESSOR OF VAUXHALL GARDENS. Its Various Expositions, Credited to Dif- ferent Countries, Are Only Pretenses. The Great Thing, the Only Thing, Is the Place Itself. Mrs. Elizabeth Robins Pennell con- tributes to The Century an article on ''Play In London." After speaking of Vauxhall Gardens and Oremorne Mrs. Pennell says: Everybody knows what the old gar- ilen was like-Thackeray has seen to that -with the hundred thousand lamps ttlways lighted, the fiddlers who made tavishing melodies, the singers, the 'lancers, the Mme. Snquis on the slack rope ascending to the stars, the hermit in the illaminated hermitage, the dark walks so favorable to lovers, the pots of Stout, the dinners and suppers -in a word, the sort of combination of cafe, music) hall, restaurant and Fourth of July that nowhere else has been brought to such perfection; that to .Sir Roger had seemed long before Thackeray's day "a kind of Mohammedan paradise." But \chat everybody- does not know so well is that London still has its garden, rolled by another name, to be sure, ig- nored by Murray and Baedeker and offer- ing another programme, Mrue. Saguia turd hermits gone front it apparently forevermore, but precisely the same in principle and practice. Vauxhall has vanished; Cremorne sends up no more rockets skyward to tH1 the night with beauty; the Crystal palace is only for the suburb apd the country cousin, but every summer Earl's court has its exhibition -an ex- hibition only by courtesy, only out of deference to the present fashion of gath- ering cur knowledge or pretending to while we play. One year it was called Italian, and there were macaroni and chianti in the restaurants, and a nice new pasteboard forum. Another year it was German, and the air was heavy with the fragrance of schnitzel and wurst. Then it was American, for change, and cow -boys and red Indians swaggered across the scene, and soda water and maple sugar figured on the menu. Now it happens to be Indian, with a fine oriental flavor, but by the time this is published it will be some- thing, else, and it really matters very little. The exhibition, attributed to any nation, would be as gay. Nobody cares Save, perhaps, a few tradesmen and 'mummers, who smell the commercial battle from afar. It is an open secret that the semblance of a show is there merely to court avoidance. The years lu passing have turned it into a big bazaar, but not even in this guise can it prove the chief attraction. N, the great thing, the only thing, that counts is the garden, where one may walk under pleasant trees; where one may ape the continental and drink tea or coffee at little tables -but most- ly tea, or capacious pots -to the accom- paniment of thick slabs of cake; where one may be still more un -English and eat one's dissuer outdoors -not like a wild beast in a cage, as in the old "box" at Vauxhall, but in company, on a low, broad veranda, where there are side shows more diverting than Pepys ever dreamed of; where one may loaf away the summer evening, listen- ing to music which is at lenst as good as the honest Briton likes it. For the truth is the garden furnishes just that form of amusement which Mr. Henry James has lamented was not to be found in London, and so long as it is open one need not, as he thought, "give up the idea of going to sit somewhere in the open air, to eat an ice and listen to a band of music." Only the amusement must be shared with so big a crowd that one will have to scramble for a chair, engage a dinner table full 1 2 hours beforehand, and struggle to get home by underground or bus as furi- ously as the mob fights to push into the pit of a popular theater. To provide the Englishman with a crowd, to give him the chance to use his elbows, is to convince him that he is enjoying himself. And the old gar- den's questionable features, its revelers, its jockeys and courtesans and gam- blers -where are they? Where are the snows of yesteryear? All gone with other times and other morals. The world of Earl's court and Kensington has taken the exhibition under its pro- tection, and there sits in stately splen- dor a magnificent example of respecta- bility, within an inclosure humorouely called the Welcome club, because ad- mission Is refused to all but the elect. Where the west end condescends to spend its afternoons and evenings there surely every one may venture in safety by night as by day. Indeed there is a strong domestic element about the ex- hibition. It is a place for the family, a playground for the decorous. The Mississippi Floods. There is much speculation in regard to the cause of the Mississippi,floods, which are more frequent and destruc- tive as the years roll on. Landscape gardeners who have to do with ponds, lakes and small streams have learned that the earth brought down practically narrows the conduits and outlets. There is -not the room for the same volume of water as there originally was. The im- mense volume of earth carried to the mouth of the Mississippi annually prao- tically raises the high water mark. Therefore, unless some method of jetty- ing by which the waste earth oan be carried farther from the mouth channel or some new additional outlet be form- ed, the danger must increase as the years roll on.-Meehan's Monthly. Jap Oddities In Eating. The Japanese preserve their potatoes in sugar, pickle their plums and salt cherry blossoms to infuse as tea. They eat candy and other sweets at the same time with their soups, fish and vegeta- bles. The morenoise they make in the chewing of food the greater is the com- pliment to the host. A Parisian inventor is endeavoring to perfect a phonograph watch. If he is Emmental, the world will soon see a watch which, by touching a spring, whiaper the time in your ear. G OUS RECLUSES WHO LIVED IN HOLES IN THE CLIFFS. They Depended Wholly Upon Charity For Their Sustenance and Remained Always In Their Aerial 'Caves -The Monastery of St. Stephens. Ono of the most curious seenes on the Thestsalian frontier is to be found at Kalibaki, Nome 50 miles by rail above Trikhttla. The town lies on a plain which is backed by the extraordinary rocks of Meteora, rising precipitously to a great height and commanding the marked attention of travelers. In places the cliffs ascend like a wall to a height of 2,000 feet. They aro rough, free from verdure and disfigured by innu- merable holes and caves all over their face. It is these cavea and remains of monk- ish dwellings in them that give the rocks of Meteora the strange, almost prehistoric appearance that has made them famous. There are several monasteries at Kalibaki. The largest is St. Stephen's. Unlike the other monasteries, this is reached by a drawbridge thrown across a yawning chasm. This is one of the largest of the monasteries of Metoora and has a guest chamber especially fit- ted up for visitors -that is to say, there are three iron beds in it, and it is only courteous to surmise that the wadded coverlet and single sheet that go to make up a Greek bed once were new.. The hegounienos is most hoapitable. He gives his visitors excellent monastic wine, a dinner of many weird courses and is himself very good company. As usual, there are two churches in this monastery, the smaller of the two pos. sessiiig some very fair ikons set in beautifully carved frames, and one very old picture, dated 387. The large church consists of a nave, antechapel, with the body of the church under the dome, which is decorated witl) the usual half length figure of Christ. Here are seen some of the in- laid ivory and mother of pearl stools and lecturns which at ono time were the staple work of the Meteora monks. All the tuanuscripts of any value have been removed to Athens. A long build- ing at the right of the bridge contains the cells of the monks, which open into a dark covered corridor. In time of war these monasteries are used as places of refuge. Not the least, curious feature of these insigne rocks of laleteora are the holes and caves which literally pepper the face of the cliffs in places. In many cases these retreats of the hermits of St. Anthony are merely cages. At a distance they look, some of them, like big birdcages hung up against the face of the cliff. As dwell- ings they are all exceedingly primitive. The Thessalia° hermit did not ask much of life. A rocky floor to lie on, bars or railings to keep him from fall- ing out of his hole, a shaky ladder down which he might now and then descend to earth and a basket and string to let down for supplies were all he needed in addition to his crucifix and other religious necessities. These aerial caves were occupied in the fourteenth century. Thousands of hermits, judging from the remains of habitations, must at ono time or another have sought refuge in these cliffs. Few of them can now be entered, for the ladders have for the most part fallen away. Seemingly the way a hermit proceed- ed was to choose a hole that took his fancy. Up to this he ran a ladder. Then, driving poles into the rock before the cave, he built out a little platform. This he roofed in and surrounded with a wall made of sticks or dried grass. From one platform to another these anchorites ran up their ladders until the whole face of' the rock was alive with these hermits of St. Anthony. After the time honored fashion of re- ligions recluses, the cliff dwelling her- mits of St. Ahthony depended wholly on charity for their sustenance. Far up in their airy caves they spent their days and nights in prayer and contemOation. When hungry or thirsty, they let down their baskets to the ground, and when these were filled they pulled them up again. The devout people of Kalibaki be- lieved that these hermits were a special charge upon them and kept them well supplied with bread and water. Every morning men, women and children could be seen tramping to the cliffs to fill the baskets that wore let down by the strings from above. And so the hermits were able to live their quiet, faay livea without a single worldly care. -New York World. An Opinion of Conklin,. ' The Rev. H. S. Haweis expresses this uncomplimentary opinion of the late Roscoe Conkling in his book of travels, lately published: "At Bigelow How* in Now York I dined with Conkling, the crack lawyer, talker and, I ahould say, characteristio windbag of the peri- od. * • • Conkling seemed to me an insufferably vulgar, loud, clever person -utterly conceited and self centered. * • • Conkling talked through you and over you and all around you and quoted poetry whether you wanted to hear it or not and answered his own riddles and aaked questions which he never meant you to anawer, being of the nature of Cicero's rhetorical inquir- ies in the Verrine and Cataline orations. I can recollect nothing that Conkling said -only the abiding flavor of his ar- rogance and conceit." Drithel. A drink called drithel is popular in the ninth of England. The cotton hands of Manchester and the factory workers get through nearly 10,000,000 pints of this stuff every year. It is made from hops, hemlook rott, parsley and olove and is one of the most dangerous liquors ever brewed. The northern (*unties pay about $75,000 a year for the output of drithel. Cold Cures. A plan is being recommended by, French physicians to cure colds by ap- plying ice to the spine. Ludoed, now- adays the curative value of cold is being highly spoken of, and the inflammatory sore throat which used to be treated by poultices and warmth is now said to be easily and quickly cured by sucking ice and keeping the patient in a low tem, Derattua FEET AND CHARACTER. What the Pedal Itztroadtios Moved ta Oao Who Knows. The person who had his oharaoter read by the palmist must now go to the first cousin of the chiropodist in order to learn whether the markings on the foot agree with the prognostications of the hand. Aocording to the adepts, in- step denotes religious temperament, while if it is high it eruggesta self con- sciousness. If arched, it indicates a love of luxury, while if it is thin in addi- tion it not only demonstrates the fesire for approbation and applause, but the postiessiou of hoeor and lofty ideals. A thick, heavy instep, whioh the boot - maker would describe as rather high. ill the mark of the individual who is ca- pable of great exertion oontinued over a long time, the instsp, in feet, of the worker. The heel is another of the great diag- nostic points. If it is smooth and round and without any prominent outlines, it declares the individual to belong to that oommonplace order which never achieves distinction and who, though pleasant enough in his or her way to live with, is yot devoid of any special talent. If it is small, it shows that the owner is ca- pable of going heart and soul into any work that he undertakes. Long toes Bugged artistic oareroll just as do long fingers of a shape, while short toes indicate selfish- ness. If they are crooked as well as long, they demonstrate the poseession of good common sem and no little bred - flees capacity, while toes separated by a dietinot interval, in spite of the corn - premien in which fashionable boots own- pel them, are indicative of emotion. If they curve downward, they indicate an amiable tuni of mind, and different por- tions of them denote different character- istics as do the so called "mountains" and "valleys" on the palm. In addition th all these charaoteriatioe the markings on the sole must be care- fully considered, for they may modify certain othex peculiarities. It is impos- sible. however; to)ay down any laws of self guidance,in these minutire, but the broad faota will no doubt furnish a suf- ficient stimulus for further inveetiga- non at the hands of the wise women of the world, for they must be indeed wise who can read, as in an open book, elar- actor which may be formed by the con- etrictions of a faahionable boot. Whatever else may be done, howev- er, it is safe Pa say that great toes whish are pressed out of the atraight line, and which are therefore in hide- ous contrast with the beautiful feet of Trilby, bespeak an egregious vanity in their possessor and proclaim a belief in the proverb which states that "to be beautiful one must suffer." This, bow - ever, was the old fashioned idea, which it ie hoped the vogue of Mr. du Mau- rier's heroine will have done a great deal to counteract. - Philadelphia Timex NO DANGER OF CIVIL WAR. Why Uncle Sam's Big Family Will Rene*. forward Live In Peace. There ill 110 longer any danger of a civil war, says Woodrow Wilson in The Atlantic. There was war between the south and the rest of the nation because their differences were removable in no other way. There was no prospect that elavery, the root of those differenoes, would ever disappear in the mere proo- ese of growth. It was to be apprehended, on the contrary, that the very processes of growth would inevitably lead to the extension of slavery and the perpetua- tion of radical social and economic con- trasts and antagonisms between state and state, between region and region. A heroic remedy was the only remedy. Slavery being removed, the south is now joined with the west -joined with it iu a stage of development, as a region chiefly agricultural, without diversified industries, without h multifarious trade, without those subtle extended perves which come with all round economic) development, and which make men keenly seneible of the inte.reste that link the world together, as it were, into a single community. But these are lieu; of difference which will be effaood by mere growth, which time will calmly ignore. They make no boundaries for armies to cross. Tide water Virginia was thus Sepa- rated onoe from her own population within the Allegbeny valleye - held two jealope maim; within her own limits. Massaohusetts onoe know the sharp divergences of interest and deaigh which separated tho coast settlements upon the bay from the restless pioneers who had taken up the free laiids of her own western oountiea Nortb Carolina was once a oon3fortable and indifferent "east" to the uneasy "west" that was to become Tennessee. Virgil:till PPS seemed old and effete to Kentucky. The "great west" once lay upon the Ohio, but has since disappeared there, overlaid by the changer! which have carried the oonditions of the "east" tv the great lakes and beyond. There has never yet been a time jp our history when we were without an• "east" and a "west," but tho novel day when we shall be without them is now in sight. As the oountry grows it will inevitably grow homogeneous. Popuhe tion will not henceforth spread, htit compact, for there is no new Ian§ be- tween the seas where the "west" clan find another lodgment The oonditions which prevail in the ever widening "east" will sooner or later cover the continent, and we ahall at laat be one people. Money to 8/Ioe Pp. A woman puzzled a Boston olerk oon- siderably reoently. Her husband is a bank president in Newburyport The national banks receive their bills in aheets of 12, which aro out after being signed. The generous president gave one of these sheets to hie wife, and she naturally started at once for Boston. After making some purchases in one of the large stores she drew the bills out of her pooketbook and oalmly geld to the clerk, "Lend me your scissors, and I will pay you," thereupon cutting off a bill. The astounded clerk at first re- fused to receive such money from so open a manufacturer of currency, but finally the matter was explained. -Bore ton Record. Quotation; she, is egoo-d thing.

"Not as I like you, child, and not enough to like them to monopolize you and take up all your time and thoughts and interests so that I, whom you are going to marry, call hardly get so much as a wort] or look from you." "Who is with you now, Dick?" "Yes, for three minutes at the garden ga,n, because if I come inside you will be surrounded by the whole lot of them next moment, and for anything we may want to say to one another we might as well be at opposite poles. You mayn't mind it, Cecily—you don't seem to do so, at any rate—but, upon my soul, it's hard lines on a man who loves you." It is an evening in April. The laud is all aflush with the pink blossoms of the almond and the white blossoms of the pear. He is very handsome always, rather angry just now, my lover, but I know that the anger comes from love, and so I think more of the first fact than the second, ars I look up smilingly into the bravo blue eyes, bright with a passion- ate gleam, and mark how well the broad, square cut shoulders and shapely head stand out against the golden glory of that evening sky. "And, pray, sir, do you expect die to be always at your beck and call?" I ask. surd you get your fair share of at - ten tion. " "Do I," he says gravely, ''when I wait a whole week for the chance of one walk with you, and when the promised day conies, you coolly send me word that you've got something else to do and are too busy even to so, me? I might have claimed your promise to marry me two summers ago and again last autumn, when I was offered the staking of that new Canadian line. I refused it only because I' you wouldn't leave home so soon , , your mother's death, and I could not Lear to go away without yon, but now there is this other job of the same sort in Perthshire, and they say I can have it for the asking. The works aro to begin in July, and if wo are mar- ried in June—dear Cecily, my own dar- ling love, do say that we shall be, do give me what I ask! Think how long I have waited for you already and how badly I want you and come to me! Cecily, dearest, if you love me, say you will. Say it now." "In June!" I repeat, my eyes wide with dismay and drawing myself still farther back. "Dick, you promised not to be in a hurry." "I never promised anything of the sort, but if I had done so I should have kept my promise over and over again. Cecily, will you over find a lover who has waited as long as I have done al- ready? And yet yon talk of my waiting on for another year still. If you loved me in the least, you would be as tired of these delays as I am, but you don't, and I see it only too plainly. You don't even know what love is. You"— "Hullabalo, hullabalol Oeoily, Cis, where are you?" shouts a boy's voice from the laburnum bushes behind. "Don't be silly, Diok. Let me go. Please let me go," I stammer out hur- riedly, but I have no need to repeat the request At the first sound of my rough tongued little brother's voice Dick has dropped my hands and stepped back. "Let yon go? Oh, certainly," he says, with a strange, bitter accent in his voice, "for good, if yon like. I expect it will come to that some day. Good - by 1" And off he goes, striding over the dewy grass and ander the milk white blossoms of the thorn trees, without an- other word or.look. It is too bad. 01 course the children don't really mean to hurt me, but it is too bad, and the worst of it is that I dare not show my vexation. Poor Dick's sport of temper is forgot- ten, and tea proceeds without further ,allnsion to him. I cannot bear Dick to be angry with me—Dick, who for all his quick, fiery nature is gentle as a woman in general with those he loves, and who has been so tender and true to me all these years that at times his very generosity makes one forget that those who give much have a right to expect much in return. A long engagement is a very trying thing, not that it diminishes the mutu- al love of those most concerned, but that it is apt to lessen the outward ex- pression of it and bring about uninten- tional slights and apparent 000lnosses, .and it ie trying, too, from the feat that the longer it lasts the less consideration or sympathy it seems to elicit from those even most noarly allied to the lov- ers and who, wheu the first eclat of the affair is over, are apt to• regard its lengthened existonoe with something of impatience, not to say contempt. Dick and I have beeu engaged an immense while, four years before mother died, and he was ready and waiting for me when she was first taken ill, nearly a year before that. I don't see him often. He is a civil engineer and too busy to pay frequent visits to our quiet village, but during this one his patience has boon tried more than usual. Is there ever a gayer, gladder time in all the year or a gayer, gladder morn- ing than this when I rise and look across -the frothing snow of pear blos- soms and meadows paved with golden buttercups to the rod roof of the village inn, half hidden in ohne trees, beneath which Dick lodges? Perhaps he may bo striding across those meadows now to pay us an early visit and bring me a bunch of violets. Ho bas done so onto or twice, but father doesn't like visitors at breakfast, and I'm afraid Diok has found it out. At any rate he does not come today, and so I go down to break- fast, give the orders for dinner and am just going to assist my little sister through her laborious efforts at wading up the scale on the piano when the maid brings me a letter which she says has just come from the inn, and I see it is from Dick. How thankful I have been since then that I left Maude and went away to ,Woad it by myself, for even the first words seem to daze and dazzle me 1 It be- gins, "My dear Cecily," and then I sit and road and reread the rest over and over again, how long I never knew, with oyes that see, yet sec not, and a heart which beats, yet refuses to com- prehend. Dick is gone, and this is what he tells me. When he went back to the inn, he found a letter awaiting him from the contractors for that Canadian railroad of which be had told me before. It was a liberal offer, and he was still very hot and angry. On the spur of the mo- ment he sat down and accepted it, and then, in the act of sealing the letter, re- pented him of what ho had done. Per- haps ho remembered how long we bad loved one another and what bitter pain parting would bo. At any rate, he put the letter in his pocket and came up to the vicarage to tell mo again that if I would marry him in June he would still accept the smaller appointment in lien of this, or if that were really impossi- ble would arrange to tomo back from Canada in the autumn, make me his wife and take me back with him. Well, you gross what he found? A whole family laughing and making gamo of him, mocking at the pain whioh had driven him away, the love which had brought him back, my laugh— heaven help me, mine—the loudest in the party, my hand aiding in the jest which was amusing a set of thoughtless boys. "And so," ho wrote, "I went away, and I write this now to bid you goodby. My eyes have been opened ab last, and I see only too plainly that the years which have only intensified my love for you have withered yours at the root, that my visits have been a weari- ness, my fidelity a jest. Perhaps some day I may live to bo thankful that I have learned this . lesson even so late, but I oannot do so yet, nor can I bring myself to the useless pain of meeting you again. I go back to my old lodgings at once and sail for Canada this week. Would to heaven you had told me the truth which sends me from you before, but I do not blame you for not doing eo. You were always gentle at heart, and I believe yon could not bear to hurt me to my face." And then ho bade God bless me and signed himself, "Yours ever faithfully, Richard Meredith." I cut the meat and serve the padding that day at dinner, and, though I can- not say one word, there must be some- thing in my face which frightens the boys, for they stare at me with wonder- ing eyes and are strangely good and quiet. I never break down onoe or rise until the meal is quite ended, and then at last I escape, and as I write to Diok the tears which have been frozen till now break f 'rth like rain and blot the words as fie!, as they are penned. For of course I answer him. I have read—in novels—of girls who, when they have hurt or angered their lovers, are too proud to write or say ono word for pardon, but I am not like that. I love him too dearly, ill as I may have proved it and stupid and shy as I have been of showing my affection by out- ward signs. I am too gore of his love for me to let any false shame or misun- derstanding rest between us, and so I write and just tell him the whole truth about that luckless scone, tell him how dear he is to me and beg him humbly and with tears to forgive and love me still, not to give up his journey (i1 he has acoepted the poet I know that can- not be), but at least to oome to me be- foro he goes and say goodby and to take my promise that at whatever time he wants me I will bo ready to be his wife, whether he oan oome back for me or I have to go out to him. Other wo- mon have done that much for mon who love them, and why not I for Dick, who has waited for me longer than many lovers already and signs himself mine "faithfully" still? So my letter is finished at last, and I walk across the fields myself (I will not trust it to any other hand) to put it in the post. And I do wait, wait patiently indeed, but with a daily lessening hope, a daily failing heart, for Dick does not come, nor is there any answer to my poor, tear blotted letter. Suns rise and suns set. Dick has left me. His love, tried per - baps before to stretching, snapped be- fore tae forced merriment of that fool- ish laugh, and because he had not the heart to say so he has hold his peace and gone—gone for good. It is spring again now, the second spring since my lover loft me. Twice already have tho fields been rod with poppies and tbo deep woods brown with falling leaves. Twice have we dressed the church with ivy and holly and hong big bushes of mistletoe in the vicarage hall. I have come up to London to buy summer dresses for my sisters and on other domestic business, but these duties have been achieved, and now, before I ao home again, I am bound on an er- rand which, though 1 would not dare own it to any ono (for indeed I know it to be both vain and foolish), has been pressing on my heart ever since I left home with a yearning persisteuoe to which, even though it be umnaidenly, I cannot choose but yield. It is to visit Dick's lodgings, where he always lived when Iio was in Lon- don, and the address of which I have known by heart this many a year. I go there and make my little excuse about wautiug to see the rooms for a friend—I hope it is not very wrong to say se -and even manage to get out his nano as the person who once recom- mended them to me. That proves an "open sesame," however, for Mrs. Brown beams with miles on the in- stant and begs me to walk up stairs, "which fortunately the roods are va- cant, and just as they was when Mr. Meredith was there histelf, for times and again bo'd said to mo, 'Now, Mrs. Brown, don't you go doing nothing to these rooms, for oomforbler couldn't be, and if ever I returns to London it's back to them I shall come and nowhere else.' And, by the way, ma'am, if so be you're a friend of that dear gentle- man's, perhaps you can give me his ad• dross. There's a letter been lying 'ere for hint this ever so long. It come about six months after ho left, inclosed in a note to 'the owner of the 'naso,' saying BB whoever posted it had dropped it into a gap between the postbox and the in- side of the wall, 'pip there it had stuck, no one finding it teal a few days before." I um standing there iu Dick's own room, the room where beset and worked and wrote many and many a letter to me in the happy days of old, the last room perhaps in which ho over ate a meal or rested before he sailed away from me and England together, and yet I cannot look at it. I cannot think of it. A haze has comp before my eyes and a numbness over my brain, for there on tbo table before me lies my letter, tbo very letter, blotted with tears and soiled and crumpled with ago, which I posted with my own hand two yours ago and whioh (ah, I see it all now—bow could I think him so hard, so unforgiving, I who ought to have known his nature better?) be never received at all. I must be very weak or the shock is too great, for as Mrs. Brown leaves the room I sit quietly down and faint away. It is only for a minute, however. The sunbeams which were shining on a pot of yellow crocuses in the window have not moved a hair's breadth, and faintly on the clear cool air I can still bear the bells from some distant church which were calling the people to a saint's day service when I came in. There is a step at the door, but though I know it is Mrs. Brown I can- not look up or raise my bead from the bard deal table where it is bowed. All my long self restraint, all my painful, pitiful efforts at womanly reticence,and bravery, have broken down at last In a burst of childish grief, and the tears so long held baok break forth in a blinding rain, and my face is hidden in my hands. So it happens that some one coming in soca me before I Dee him or can so much as dry my eyes and utters an exclamation of surprise. "I beg your pardon," ho adds very quickly. "I only camp in because my old landlady has been telling me some- thing about a letter, and a lady"— And there he breaks off, for I have lifted my head, and as our eyes moet there is a cry. "Cecily t Coolly! Is it you? Oh, my darling, my love, what good angel brought yon here to give me the sight of you," and somehow, somehow, in ono moment, all the pain and grief and weariness, all the bitter bravery of days when "the burden laid upon me seemed greater than I could bear" are gone, blotted out like breath from a glass, and there is nothing but joy and peace and rest, rest perfect and serene to mind and heart and body, for I am in my lover's arms, and my tired head is drawn down upon his breast, and I bear his voice— the dear, tender voice of old—murmur- ing prayers for forgiveness mingled with such words of love and fondness as I never thought would grout my ears again on this side of the grave. The bells have ceased to chime. The yellow crocuses bend and shiver before the sharp, cold breeze, but we two stand in the April sunshine, and the light, which falls on Dick's bronzed head and Mews the crashed white hyacinths in my breast, is no brighter than- that which brightens our two hearts on this the sweetest springtido of our lives.— All the Year Round The People Nearest the Pole.

It is known now, boweve thanks to Bawls, Nares and Greely, that there aro numerous traces of hu- man occupancy as far north se the eighty-second parallel, and so long ago was it that they built their buts and sledges and hunted the bear and walrus in the far north of Grant Land that the Etah natives of today have only the dimmest and most uncertain traditions of them.—Pittaburg Dispatch.

For a few years this was the only market in New York; but, the local reformers of the time insisting prewomubly upon it change, it was determined to opts a fair or market for the Salo of "store and fat cattle, steers, crows, sheep, goats, hogs, bucks and ouch like," and to that end stalls wore built. This market was opened on Oct 90 of each year and was kept open until the last day of Novem- ber. Twenty years later a market was opened on what was called the water- side, near tho bridge whiob opannod Wall street, and it wee thrown open to the public on March 24, 1077, and con- tinued open Ivory Saturday following for three years. At the expiration of three years market day was changed to Wednesday, and in 1688 another step in advance was taken. There were three market days in each week—Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. But the precip- itate seal and energy of the old Dutch inhabitants could not be restrained even by the oonservative burgomasters, and so in 1084 it was ordered that thereafter "flab shall bo brought for sale to the dock opposite the oity hall and may be sold in the house that Long Mary form- erly lived in; likewise herbs, fruits, roots, eta" Afterward the Broadway market houeo was leased out to Henry Crossley, a butcher, who stipulated to pay for it for seven years a rental of El per annum and keep it in good repair. As the oity of Now Amsterdam was at that timo somewhat abort of fonds a plan wan adopted which in these days would never obtain the favor of tho board of estimate and apportionment. It was arranged that each market should be built and kept in repair by the neigh- bors, and at tho end of 60 years it was to belong to the pity. In this manner a two story building was erected by the neighbors at the foot of Broad 'street. Another was put up on Hanover square —not then Hanover square—and a third at the foot of Maiden lana Tho last subsequently camp to bo known as the Fly market and had a practical monop- oly of the business of the city on that side of town until the establishment by the neighbors of a market at tbo foot of Wall street to bo known as the Meal market. It was established "exclusive- ly for the sale of Dorn and meal," and also "slaves stood for gale or to be let to hire" at this point. In 1786 these primi- tive market arrangementa were done away with and the present system, since enlarged and improved,eupersedtd them. The oity now receives in a year in mar- ket rents $286,000, exclusive of vault rents and market permits. The whole public revenue from this source is about *800,000 a year.—New York Sun. John Stuart KUL Mr. John Stuart Mill ham not failed, nor can bo fail. To ascertain whether a man is a failure we must ascertain what ho aims at. Mr. Mill never thought to startle and dazzle the hone° by his oratory, as Disraeli did when be first rose to speak. Mr. Mill has no ora- torical gifts, and he knows it, nor can he be called a rhetorician. He is a clomp reasoner and addrosets himself dirootly to our reasoning powers, and, though be has great command of language, as all his hearers know, he never oonde- soends coder* out his arguments in rhe- torical finery to oatoh applause. Mr. Mill did not succeed cis an orator, but then ho did not attempt oratory. Ho did not excite a furore of cheering, but then be neither expected nor wished for ap- plause. Mr. Mill, we should say, cares very little for applause. Rapturous cheering such as that which Mr. Herman and Mr. Lowe can evoke would, we venture 10 think, be an ofttwse to Mr. Mill. Ho would perhaps ask, with the old Roman orator, "What foolish thing have I said that these people applaud?" And in- deed we ourselves have after long ex- perience conte te think that applause in the house of commons is often uproari- ous in proportion to the foolishness of the sentiment which calls it forth. Deep attention broken only by signifi- cant murmurs is to our mind far morn complimentary to a speaker than fleroo and uproarious applause. What Mr. Mill intended to do was to reason calm- ly with his opponent's, and this ho eno- xcded in doing.—"The Inner Life of the Howse of Commons," William White. Bow a Bird Repined Its Foot.

This canary had been seized by the foot by a tame crow which occupied an adjoin- ing cage, and the lower part of the log was wrenched off. The oanary did not die, however, and managed to get along with only one foot. A short tete after- ward it was observed that the protrud- ing bone began to bo covered with an excreeleonoo of floeh tamped like a pear, and six or seven months afterward there grew out from this excrescence first two claws and thew a whole new foot At first the bird did not neo this new mem- ber, and ho remained for several woeke without resting upon it, or at least doing so very rarely, but after this period of experiment the supplementary limb be- came as useful and solid as the other.

Two centuries ago it wasn't as easy a matter to keep accounts us it is bor. Not only were tunny people ignonult of writing and arithmetic, but paper and account books were scare and rare. For this reason merchants, doctors, lawyers and even the government of Great Brit- ain kept their accounts by making notches on willow sticks, very much as a boy would tally runs in a gamo of ball. Small notches represented pellet), larger ones shillings and still larges ones pounds sterling. When tbo account was all notched out, the stick was split down its leugth eo that the notches would abow on both pieces. One half was given to the buyer and one half was retained by the seller. When the ac- count was paid, these tally stioks were joined together and laid away.

"Not as I like you, ehild, and not enough to like them to monopolize you and take up all your time and thoughts and interests so that I, whom you are going to marry, can hardly get so much as a word or look from you." "Who is with you now, Dick?" "Yes, for three minutes at the garden ga.e, because if I come inside you will be surrounded by the whole lot of them next moment, and for anything we may want to say to one another we might as well be at opposite poles. You mayn't mind it, Cecily—you don't seem to do so, at any rate—but, upon my soul, it's hard lines on a man who loves you." It is an evening iu April. The land is all aflush with the pink blossoms of the almond and the white blossoms of the pear. He is very handsome always, rather angry just now, my lover, but I know 'hat the anger comes from lose, and so I think more of the first fact than the second, as I look up smilingly into the bravo blue eyes, bright with a passion- ate gleam, fwd mark how well the broad, square cut shoulders and shapely head stand out against the golden glory of that evening sky. "And, pray, sir, do you expect me to be always at your beck and call?" I ask. "I'm surd you get your fair Aare of at- tention." "Do I," ho says gravely, 'when 1 wait a whole week for the chance of one walk with you, and when the promised day comes, you coolly send mo word that you've got something else to do and are too busy even to see me?

"I never promised anything of the sort, but if I had done so I should have kept my promise over and over again. Cecily, will yon ever find a lover who has waited as long as I have done al- ready? And yet you talk of my waiting on for another year still. If yon loved mo in the least, you would be as tired of these delays as I am, but you don't, and I see it only too plainly.

"Let yon go? Oh, certainly," he says, with a strange, bitter accent in his voice, "for good, if you like. I expect it will come to that some day. Good - by 1" And off he goes, striding over the dewy grass and under the milk white blossoms of the thorn trees, without an- other word or ,look. It is too bad. Of course the children don't really mean to hurt me, but it is too bad, and the worst of it is that I dare not show my vexation. Poor Dick's spurt of temper is forgot- Iten, and tea proceeds without further ,allusion to him. I cannot bear Dick to he angry with me—Dick, who for all his quick, fiery nature is gentle as a woman in general with those ho loves, and who has been so tender and true to Me all these years that at times his very generosity makes one forget that those who give much have a right to expect much in return. A long engagement is a very trying thing, not that it diminishes the mutu- al love of those most concerned, but that it is apt to lessen tho outward ex- pression of it and bring about uninten- tional slights and apparent 000lnesses, .and it is trying, too, from the fact that the longer it lasts the less consideratiou or sympathy it seems to elicit from those even most nearly allied to the lov- ars and who, when the first eclat of the affair is over, are apt to regard its lengthened existence with something of impatience, not to say contempt. Dick and I have been engaged an immense while, four years before mother died, and he was ready and waiting for me when she was first taken ill, nearly a year before that. I don't see him often. He is a civil engineer and too busy to pay frequent visits to our quiet village, but during this one bis patience bas boon tried , more than usual. Is there ever a gayer, gladder time in all the year or a gayer, gladdkr morn- ing than this when I rise and look across -the frothing snow of pear blos- soms and meadows paved with golden buttercups to the rod roof of the village inn, half hidden in elm trees, beneath whish Dick lodges? Perhaps he may bo striding across those meadows now to pay us an early visit and bring me a bunch of violets. He has done so onoo or twice, but father doesn't like visitors at breakfast, and I'm afraid Diok has found it out At any rate he does not come today, and so I go down to break- fast, give the orders for dinner and am just going to assist my little sister through her laborious efforts at wading np the scale on the piano when the maid brings me a letter which she says has just come from the inn, and I see it is from Dick. How thankful I have been since then that I left Maude and went away to read it by myself, for even the first words seem to daze and dazzle mo 1 It be- gins, "My dear Coolly," and then I sit and read and reread the rest over and over again, how long I never knew, with eyes that see, yet see not, and a heart which beats, yet refuses to com- prehend. Dick is gone, and this is what be tells me. When he went back to the inn, he found a letter awaiting him from the contractors for that Canadian railroad of which he had told me before. It was a liberal offer, and he was still very hot and angry. On the spur of the mo- ment be sat down and accepted it, and then, in the act of sealing the letter, re- pented him of what he had done. Per- haps he remembered how long we had loved one another and what bitter pain parting would be. At any rate, he put the letter in his pocket and came np to the vicarage to tell me again that if I would marry him in June he would still accept the smaller appointment in lien of this, or if that were really impossi- ble would arrange to come back from Canada in the autumn, make me his wife and take me back with him. Well, you guess what he found? A whole family laughing and making gams of him, mocking at the pain whish had driven him away, the love which had brought him back, my laugh— heaven help me, mine—the loudest in the party, my hand aiding in the jesb which was amusing a set of thoughtless boys. "And so," he wrote, "I went away, and I write this now to bid you goodby. My eyes have been opened at last, and I see only too plainly that the years which have only intensified my love for you have withered yours at tbo root, that my visits have been a weari- ness, my fidelity a jest. Perhaps some day I may live to be thankful that I have learned this . lesson even so late, but I oannot do so yet, nor oan I bring myself to the useless pain of meeting you again. I go bank to my old lodgings at once and sail for Canada this week. Would to heaven you had told me tho truth which Bends me from you before, but I do not blame you for not doing so. You were always gentle at heart, and I believe yon could not bear to hurt me to my face." And then ho bade God bless me and signed himself, "Yours ever faithfully, Richard Meredith." I cut the meat and serve tbo pudding that day at dinner, and, though I can- not say one word, there must be some- thing in my face which frightens the boys, for they stare at me with wonder- ing eyes and are strangely good and quiet. I never break down once or rise until the meal is quits ended, and then at last I escape, and as I write to Dick the tears whioh have been frozen till now break f nth like rain and blot the words as fa,: as they aro penned. For of course I answer him. I have read—in novels—of girls who, when they have hurt or angered their lovers, aro too proud to write or say ono word for pardon, but I am not like that. I love him too dearly, ill as I may have proved it and stupid and shy as I have been of showing my affection by out- ward signs. I am too sure of his love for me to let any false shams or misun- derstanding rest between ns, and so I write and just tell him the whole truth about that luckless scene, tell him how dear ho is to me and beg hien humbly and with tears to forgive and love mo still, not to give up his journey (if he has accepted the post I know that oan- not be), but at least to oome to me be- fore he goes and say goodby and to take my promise that at whatever time he wants me I will be ready to be his wife, whether ho oan oome back for -me or I have to go out to him. Other wo- men have done that mush for men who love them, and why not 1 for Dick, who has waited for me longer than many lovers already and signs himself mine "faithfully" still? So my letter is finished at last, and I walk across the fields myself (I will not trust it to any other hand) to put it in the post. And I do wait, wait patiently indeed, but with a daily lessening hope, a daily failing heart, for Diok does not come, nor is there any answer to my poor, tear blotted letter. Suns rise and suns set. Diok has left me. His love, tried per- haps before to stretching, snapped be- fore the forced merriment of that fool- ish langh, and because he had not the heart to say so ho has held his peace and gone—gone for good. It is spring again now, the second spring since my lover left me. Twioe already have the fields been red with poppies and the deep woods brown with falling leaves. Twice have wo dressed tbo church with ivy and holly and hung big bushes of mistletoe in the vicarage hall. I have some up to London to buy summer dresses for my sisters and on other domestio business, but these duties have been achieved, and now, before 1 go home again, I am bound on an er- rand which, though 1 wouta not dare own it to any one (for indeed I know it to be both vain and foolish), has been pressing on my heart ever alum I left home with a yearning persistence to whish, even though it be nnmaidenly, I cannot choose but yield. It is to visit Dick's lodgings, where ho always lived when he was in Lon- don, and the address of which I have known by heart this many a year. I go there and make my little excuse about wanting to see tbo rooms for a friend—I hope it is not very wrong to say so—and even manage to get out his name as the person who once reeo11i- mended them to me. That proves an "open sesame," however, for Mrs. Brown beams with smiles on the in- stant and begs me to walk up attire, "whish fortunately the romps are va- cant, and just at they was when ML Meredith was there hisself, for times and again he'd said to me, 'Now, Mrs. Brown, don't you go doing nothing to these rooms, for oomforbler couldn't be, and if ever I returns to London it's back to them I shall come and nowhere else.' And, by the way, ma'am, if so be you're a friend of that dear gentle- man's, perhaps you can give me his ad- dress. There's a letter been lying 'ere for him this ever so long. It oome about six months after ho left, incloaed in a note to 'the owner of the 'onse,' saying as whoever posted it had dropped it into a gap bowmen the postbox and the in- side of the wall, ari i there it had stuck, no one finding it ti+I a few days before." 1 um standing there in Disk's own room, the room where ho sat and worked and wroth many and many a letter to me in the happy days of old, the last room perhaps in which ho ever ate a meal or rested before he sailed away from me and England together, and yet I cannot look at it. 1 cannot think of it, A haze hag comp before my eyes and a numbness over my brain, for there on the table before me lies my letter, the very letter, blotted with tears and soiled and crumpled with age, which I posted with my own hand two years ago and whish (ah, I see it all now—bow could I thiuk him so hard, eo unforgiving, I who ought to have known his nature better?) be never received at all. I must be very weak or the shook is too great, for as Mrs. Brown leaves the room I sit quietly down and faint away. It is only for a minute, however. The sunbeams which were shining on a pot of yellow crocuses in the window have not moved a hair's breadth, and faintly on the clear cool air I can still hear the bells from some distant church which were calling the people to a saint's day servioe when I came in. Thorn is a step at the door, but though I know it is Mrs. Brown I can- not look up or raise my head from the hard deal table whore it is bowed. All my long self restraint, all my painful, pitiful efforts at womanly reticenceand bravery, have broken down at last hi a burst of childish grief, and the tears so long held baok break forth in a blinding rain, and my face is hidden in my hands. So it happens that gone one coming in sees me before I see him or oan so much as dry my eyes and utters an exclamation of surprise. "I beg your pardon," ho adds very. quickly. "I only came in because my old landlady has been telling me some- thing about a letter, and a lady"— And there he breaks off, for I have lifted my head, and as our eyes meet there is a cry. "Cecily l Ceoilyl Is it you? Ob, my darling, my love, . what good angel brought you hero to give me the eight of you," and somehow, somehow, in ono moment, all the pain and grief and weariness, all the bitter bravery of days when "the burden laid upon me seemed greater than I could bear" are gone, blotted out like breath from aglass, and there is nothing but joy and peace and rest, rest perfect and serene to mind and heart and body, for I am in my lover's arms, and my tired bead is drawn down upon his breast, and I hear his voice— the dear, tender voice of old—murmur- ing prayers for forgiveness mingled with such words of love and fondness as I never thought would greet my ears again on this aide of the grave. The bells have ceased to chime. The yellow crocuses bend and shiver before the sharp, cold breeze, but we two stand in tho April sunshine, and the light, whioh falls on Dick's bronzed head and kisses the crashed whits hyacinths in my breast, is no brighter than that which brightens our two hearts on this the sweetest springtido of our lives.— All the Year Round.

All the men in the team were same time that the cattle should be strapping six footers„ used hickory bats hitched "beside the chueehyard, where some stakes were flied" on Broadway, e little above Morris street. For a few years this was the only market in Now York; but, the loosl reformers of the time insisting presumably upon a change, it was determined to open a fair or market for the Salo of "store and fat cattle, steers, °owe, sheep, gouts, bogs, bucks and snob like," and to that end stalls were built. This market was opened on Oot. 90 of each year and was kept open until the last day of Novem- ber. Twenty years later' a market was opened on what was called the water- side, near tho bridge which spanned Wall street, and it was thrown open to the public on March 24, 1077, and con- tinued open every Saturday following fox three years. At tbo expiration of three years market day was changed to Wedneaday, and in 1088 another step in advance was taken. There were three market days in each week—Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. But the precip- itate zeal and energy of the old Dutch inhabitants could not be restrained even by the conservative burgomasters, and so in 1684 it was ordered that thereafter "fish shall be brought for sale to the dock opposite the city hall and may be sold in the house that Long Mary form- erly lived in; likewise herbs, fruits, mots, eto." Afterward the Broadway market hosts was leased out to floury Crossley, a butcher, who stipulated to pay for it for seven years a rental of Li per annum and keep it in good repair. As the city of Now Amsterdam was at that time somewhat short of fonds a plan was adopted which in these days would never obtain the favor of the board of estimate and apportionment. It was arranged that each market should be built and kept in repair by the neigh - bore, and at the end of 60 years it was to belong to the city. In this manner a two story building was erected by the neighbors at the foot of Broad street Another was put up on Hanover square —not then Hanover square—and a third at the foot of Maiden lane. The last subsequently oame to be known as the Fly market and had a practical monop- oly of the business of the city on that side of town until the establishment by the neighbors of a market at the foot of Wall street to be known as the Meal market. It was established "exclusive- ly for the sale of Dorn and meal," and also "slaves stood for sale or to be let to hire" at this point. In 1786 these primi- tive market arrangements were done away with and the present system, since enlarged and improved, superseded them.

John Stuart t1II1L Mr. John Stuart Mill has not failed, nor can bo fail. To aeoortain whether a man is a failure we must ascertain what be aims at. Mr. Mill never thought to startle and dazzle the house by his oratory, as Disraeli did when be first rose to speak. Mr. Mill bag no ora- torical gifts, and he knows it, nor can he be called a rhetorician. Ho is a clog* reasoner and addresses himself direotly to our reasoning powers, and, though he has great command of language, as all bis hearers know, ho never conde- scends to deck out 1118 arguments in rhe- torical finery to catch applause. Mr. Mill did not succeed as an orator, but then be did not attempt oratory. Ho did not excite a furore of cheering, but then be neither expected nor wished for ap- plause. Mr. Mill, we should say, cares very little for applause. Rapturous cheering snob as that which Mr. Horaman and Mr. Lowe can evoke would, we venture to think, be an offense to Mr. Mill. He would perhaps ask, with the old Roman orator, "What foolish thing have I said that these people applaud?" And in- deed we ourselves bavo after long ex- perience come to think that applause in the house of oommone is often uproari- ous in proportion to the foolishness of the sentiment whish salla it forth. Deep attention broken only by signifi- cant murmurs is to our mind far more oomplimentary to a speaker than Herne and uproarious applause. What Mr. Mill intended to do was to reason calm- ly with his opponents, and this he eno- °ceded in doing.—"The Inner Life of the Hones of Commons," William Whits How a Bird Repined Its Foot.

This phenomenon. known as regeneration, also takes plaoo in birds, if we aro to believe a writer in a soientifio paper, who quotes a curious caro of the regen- eration of tbo foot of a canary. This canary had been seized by the foot by a tame crow whioh occupied an adjoin- ing cage, and the lower part of the leg was wrenched off. Tho canary did not die, however, and managed to got along with only ono foot. A short tape after- ward it was observed that the protrud- ing bone began to be covered with an excrescence of flesh shaped like a pear, and six or moven months afterward there grew out from this excrescence first two olaws and then a whole new foot. At first the bird did not use this now mem- ber, and he remained for several weeks without resting upon it, or at least doing so very rarely, but after this period of experiment the supplementary limb be- came as useful and solid as the other.

Finally a sporty manager got hold of them, went wherever there was a gams to be had, took is professional battery with him and bet all the money bo could place. Having nothing special on band that season, I concluded to do a little business on my own book. "By a little quiet skirmishing in To- ledo, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Colum- bus I got together a nine that were fait enough for any company. I took them to a little ooautry town about 90 miles from the club I've been telling yon about, named them after the place, did some sandy blowing through the oounty newspaper and got a challenge from the vary fellows we were after. We went over there in old farm wagons, looking like the rnstiost lot of grangers that ever ventured away from home. In practice my boys got tangled up in their own feet, full over each other and made the opposing manager fuel so good that be was betting at every turn. I was right with him as long as I had a dol- lar, and there was a big roll for one of ns when the gams was over. Now there was a change. My boys came out of the dressing room in knickerbockers, sweat- ers and canvas ahem, as slick a looking lot of ringers as your over tour. It was a oinoh, and I was only hot booause I had no more money to put up." "Yon made a good thing of it?" "Good thing? I got the double cents. My battery sold out to the other mana- ger.

This piece is in reality a chip of an immense block of Welk that once filled an area the size of tbe oontinent of Europe, and if which even yet several gigantic frag- ments remain, each hundreds of square miles in extent.

In the British Isles the chalk is found In greatest perfection and oontinuity in the east and southeast of England. A theet of chalk more than 1,000 feet in thickness underlies all that portion of England whish is situated to the south- east of a lino crossing tbe island diag- tnally from the North sea at Flambor- ough Head to the coast on the English channel in Dorset. This enormous sheet of chalk is tilted np slightly on the meet, and its depressed eastern portions that dip toward the waters of the North tea are usually buried from sight by means of overlying sands and clay,. Where the edges of the chalk floor come upon the sea the cliff scenery is strik- ingly grand and beantifuL Any one who has once seen the magnificent rooks of Flamborough and Beecby Head, the jagged stacks of the Needles or the diz- zy mase of Shakespeare's cliff, near Do- ver, can understand why "the white cliffs of Albion" bag grown into a stook phrase. This massive sheet of chalk appears again in Franoe, in many other parts of Europe as far east as the Crimea, and even in central Asia beyond the sea of Aral. How far it stretched westward into what is now the Atlantis may nev- er be known, bat chalk cliffs of at least 200 feet in thickness are seen at An- trim, in Ireland, and less conspicuous formations are found in Scotland, in Argyll and Aberdeen.

The state- ment was made in reply to a question by Professor Gross, the famous Philadel- phia surgeon. A smile passed around the listeners, and Professor Schroeder, observing that there was some doubt about his statement, reiterated it with some force.

Brahma was a hearty eater and par- ticularly fond of Italian cookery. One day he and Dr. Billroth, the eminent Austrian surgeon, visited Herr Wich- mann in Rome and were invited to a breakfast alla romans. The host's cook, Mora, did her prettiest, and the wino supplemented her efforts. "That's 1110 wino that Horace drank," staid I)r. Bill- roth enthusiastically. Brahms' thoughts were on the viands he had just enjoyed. In jovial humor he raised the question whether it was not his duty to take back with him to Germany a wife who oould provide so admirable a meal as Mora. Finally Wichmann, with mock seriousness, presented himself to Mora as a suitor for her hand in behalf of a great German artist. "Moreover, he is a musician," he explafued, "and you surely aro fond of music, for you sing about the house all day. What say you?" Mora's answer was classic. She looked at Wichmann, then at Brahms from top to toe, and, with an energetic gesture, replied, "Sono romana, nates al Ponte Rotto, dove eta it tempio di Vesta, non eposero mai un barbaro." ("I am a Roman, born near tbo Pont° Rotto, where tho temple of Vesta stands. I never will marry a barbarian.")—San Francisco Argonaut. Accounts on a Stick. Two centuries ago it wasn't as easy a matter to keep accounts as it is now. Not only were many people ignorant of writing and arithmetic, but paper and account books were scarce and rare. For this reason merchants, doctors, lawyers and even the government of Great Brit- ain kept their accounts by making notches on willow sticks, very much as a boy would tally runs iu a gams of ball. Small notches represented pence, larger ones shillings and still larger ones pounds sterling. When the account vias all notched out the stick was split down its length so that the notches would thew on both pieces. One half was given to tbo buyer and one half was retained by the seller. When the ac- count was paid, these tally sticks wero joined together and laid away. One can imagine bow much work and trouble such a system would make in bless days of great business enterprises—Chicago Record. Gestures and traits. Dr. Norman Moore, whose enormous experience in the post mortem room gives weight to his words, expressed in a recent address the general desire of pathologists to find some law of correla- tion between defects of different par of the body, but he bad abandoned tl.d hope, for it was only exceptionally that abnormalities of one organ wero associ- ated with those of others. Movements of an unusual character, odd gestures or antics may certainly be accompanied mental qualities of a very high order .0 example of which may be noted in c. Johnson. So, again, large ears are not necessary signs of mental defect, for they may be observed in individuals of great mental capacity, and the repeated series of movements on which such stress has been laid abould be regarded merely as habits.—London Letter in New York Modioal R000rd.

VOL. XXXIX.---NO. 45. HASTINGS, MINN., SATURDAY. AUGUST 14, 1897. THE GAZETTE. IRVING TODU 8 SON. SATURDAY AVG. 14th 1897. SECOND H:DITION. An Editorial Outing. It was a joyous company that congre- gated at the Windsor Hotel, St. Paul, on Sunday. Aug. lst, hent upon a week of recreation and pleasure. The party to the number of one hundred and twenty-five were members of the Minnesota Editorial Association. and it casual glance at their faces unmistakably indicated that each had left the every day cares behind and intended to enjoy the excursion to their utmost capacity. A special train consisting of a baggage car and three Pullmans had been placed at our disposal by the Wisconsin Central Railroad, and at eight p. m. we were all on board and the summer outing of 1897 had begun. We were taken in charge by J. C. Pond. general passenger agent of the road. who had come up from Mil- waukee to meet us. and who proved him- self a most genial chaperon, and fully capable of caring for the traveling public upon even so popular a thoroughfare as the Wisconsin Central. Our first stop was at Milwaukee. which was reached at about eight o'clock the next morning. rind we were most hospi- tably received by members of the Press Club and escorted to the Plankington, our headquarters during the stay. Plans for our entertainment here had been well laid out. resulting in a very busy but exceedingly pleasant day, which will be remembered as one of the most enjoy- able of the trip. Immediately after breakfast the party boarded three char- tered trolly cars as guests of the Press Club and taken to the Soldiers' Horne, and upwards of an hour was spent in looking over the buildings and grounds of about five hundred acres, where nearly twenty-five hundred veterans are com- fortably cared for. From there we were given a view of some of the parks. among them being Lake Park. quite recently purchased and laid out by the city, and from the extensive improvements being made, together with its unsurpassed location overlooking the lake, it is bound to be one of the beauty spots of the north- west. Then to Whitefish Bay, a delight- ful resort some six miles out, where Luncheon was served and addresses of welcome made by ex -Gov. Peck and J. H. Gregory—president of the Press Club, which were responded to by our president, C. W. Stanton, of The Appleton Press, H. P. Hail, of St. Paul, and J. A. John- son. of The St. Peter Herald. As no trip to 'Milwaukee would be complete without a visit to one of their mammoth breweries. we were then con- ducted through the immense establish- ment of the Pabst Brewing Company, the la -gest in this country. which was thoroughly inspected and its products duly analyzed. At five p. m. a return was made to the hotel for dinner. Monday evening the party became the guests of the Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad Company. and boarded one of their commodious steamers bound for Ludington, Mich., about seventy-flve miles distant. The assistant general passenger agent. II. F. MrIeller, met us during the day and took immediate charge. doing all he could to make our trip pleasant. Arriving at Ludington soon after breakfast the next morning. we boarded a special train of the Pere & Marquette Railroad and continued our jonrney to Detroit. two hundred and thirty-eight miles away, at which place we safely arrived late in the afternoon, and were soon comfortably quartered at the Cadillac Hotel, the leading house of the city, and by far the best that our editorial parties have visited for years. The table service was certainly first class. Detroit is indeed a beautiful city, and our three days' visit, through the efforts of our excellent executive committee, was a continuous round of sight seeing and pleasure. The first evening was spent in a trip to the noted Belle Isle, one of the beautiful resorts which has made Detroit famous. Bright and early Wednesday morning trolly cars were provided for a ride about the city, and arriving at Wates' Works Park a steamer was taken for a river and lake tri of some forty miles, visiting the famous St. Clair Flats. A stop was made at Star Island, where a flsh dinner was served. An orchestra was on board during the trip which aided quite materially to the entertainment. Returning to the hotel, the evening was occupied with a reception given by the ladies, which proved a very enjoyable affair. Thursday morning the party paid a visit to Walkerville, Canada, a place created and maintained by the large dis- tillery works of Hiram Walker & Sons. After going through a part of their plant, including one of the several bonded ware- houses where we were shown twenty thousand barrels stored for future export, we were conducted to their offices and reception rooms and treated to a fine cham- pagne lunch. The annnal output of this company is said to average a million and a quarter gallons of whisky. The most valuable educational ex- perience of the entire trip was obtained at the great chemical laboratory of Parke, Davis, & Co., where two very interesting the instructive hours were spent. Ar- rangements had been so well planned that a upon reaching the establishment we were divided into parties of six, each with a guide, who explained everything of in- terest. Especial attention was called to the incessant care In the preparation of medicines. For testing purpose they have over fifty horses, hundreds of guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, and other animals. Upon these the effect of the different remedies proposed for the hu- man system are thoroughly tested before being placed upon the market. There are over one 'thousand persons employed by this concern. and it requires a walk of six miles to go through all the depart- ments and offices without duplicating a step. Some idea of the production of drugs by this firm may be conceived when it is stated thai in their pill and capsular departments the daily output is over Iwo million each. Other pleasant features of our stay at Detroit were a visit to Senator Palmer's Park and his famous log cabin, a recep- tion tendered by the Fellowcraft Club, where a pleasant programme was render- ed, and a visit to some of the beautiful buildings, among them the Majestic. Friday morning the return trip was begun, and it too was by special train. Some very fast time was made, not far from a mile a minute gait. Ludington was reached at three o'clock, and here the great cur ferry Pere Marquette was in waiting to carry us across Lake Michigan 40 Manitowoc, a four hours' ride. This great steam car ferry, now plying between Ludington and Manitowoc. being put in service during the early part of this year, is revolutionizing the carrying trade of the northwest. By it the Flint & Pere Marquette Road is enabled to shorten the all rail distance between the east and west by about twenty-four hours. The boat is so constructed that cars are run from the piers to the boat at its stern. Four tracks occupy the deck and there is room for thirty cars, The facilities of- fered the shippers of the northwest by this joint operation of the Wisconsin Cen- tral and the Flint and Pere Marquette Railroads, made possible through the agency of the car ferry, deserves their immediate attention. At Manitowoc a grand surprise awaited us. The citizens, expecting that the Min- nesolians would arrive early in the even- ing, and also having the Wisconsin Edi- torial Association (en route east) as their guests, had arranged a joint bauquet at Turner Hall, and upon oto arrival wei were greeted with a brass band and torch light procession and cordially invited to the scene of festivity, where an elaborate spread was served, to which all did ample justice. After a few remarks by the mayor we were compelled to leave before the conclusion of the exercises, the only thing of real regret during the whole trip. Manitowoc is a thriving city of about twelve thousand, with a fine harbor, and on account of the recent development of the shipping interests her people are roused into great anticipations of future growth. At ten a. m. the excursionists were again homeward bound, and after a pleasant night's ride ware safely landed at St. Paul ready for the inevitable handshake and good -by before dispersing for their re- spective homes. The following resolutions were adopted: The Minnesota Editors' and Publishers' As- sociation, In approaohing the end of Ha twenty- second annual excursion, embraces the occasion to pass briefly in review its felicitous inception, Its many prized personal e.perienoes and friend- ships formed, its multitude of highly profitable educational experienoee and scenes and events of rare delight, and which in character have been peculiarly varied and pleasing In their every phase. It would seem quite imposaibie for any other company as large as this to be more munif- icently favored, to be more attentive!• trane- porten by land and lake and ever witaout ac- cident or regret incident to be intimately aesoe- fated for seven days, inbued only with increas- ing respect and fraternity, and each vying with the other to promote the happiness of all and to enliven and oement the ties of good fellowship. Assembling at the hospitable haven of Col. J. C. Monfort in St. Paul, we traversed during our dreams of the following night the noble sister state of Wisconsin and were greeted at the threshold of the magnificent and queenly city of Y.ilwackee by people after our own hearts. We were received into their open arms, and ex• tended splendid hospitality. 1pnsconsed In one of the palatial steamers of the Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad Company, we were "rooted in a cradle of the deep" across Lake Michigan, thence through the woods and across the fruitful plains of the state of Michigan to Detroit, the City of the Straits, the grand gateway of the northwest. Here we were made familiar with wondrous sights. Lu.ur:ously bestowed at chivalrous Cadillac we viewed Majestic business buildings, sumptuous homes, parka of parad.ee, mighty manufactories, and, supreme in its charms and ever vernal in our memories, gait" rode the waves of St. Clair to the Island of the Star. Inspired by such scenes, homeward bound is tempered in ils regrets, and Manitowoc, with nr.ncely plenty, provides the lingering des- sert tact concludes the exultant excursion., We cannot forbear to further express our ap- preciation more in detail for the many cour.eeles and favors wleoh we have enjoyed. There ore, being duly assembled it is, hereby unanimously Resolved, That much of 'the pleasure enjoyed was due to the act:ye effo'ts of the ladles' recep- tion comm'ttee at the Windsor Hotel in St. Paul. in making the members of the party acquainted at the outset of the journey. Resolved, That to C. W. Stanton, the able president of the association, we are under deep and lasting obligations. He has been untiring in his efforts to make the incursion a success, and to his good judgment, unvarying courtesy, constant care for the welfare of each member, and hearty, genial bearng is largely due the Pleasure that all have enjoyed. Our gratitude to nim will long endure and his friendship we shall ever esteem. We are likewise not unm'ndiul of the tireless, self-sacrificing and unsurpassed skill and devotion which have been dlenlayed by Sec- retary C. P. Stine, Treasurer David Ramaiey, and H. 1'. Hall, ever ;ndlspensib'e; C. C. Whitney and E. A. 1'aradis, constituting the executive committee, and in ueurlug them of our lively appreciation we but faintly express tilt fraternal and thankful sentiments that pousees our hearts. Resolved, That we shall ever hold In kindliest memory the generous courtesies of J. C. Pond, general passenger agent of the Wisconsin Can- tral Railroad. His personal attention to our nom:orts, in connection with the surpassing service of his admirably managed line, has been one of the prominent elemoots in the success of the excursion. Resolved, That for the hoapitalitiee extended us at Milwaukee we are indebted beyond mea!• urs. The enjoyment of our visit there filled our wipe of pleasure full to overiiowingg To Press Club, to J. H, Gregory, its a000mpllebed resident and able managing editor of The vening Wisconsin; to Booth Brothers, of The vening 1Vioconoin; to L. Z. Whitney. resident gent of the F. dt P. M.; to ex•Gov.

It Is the meet direct Otto eastward; Its superior management oommends it to the partiality of shippers and the traveling public. Resolved, That this association has never en. Joyod a mote profitable and pleasing visit than', at Detroit. it Is a noble city, and few possess equally Interesting attractions and objects of information. We are indebted for much of our pleasure while there to the Feiloworaft Club, and especially to its president William Livingstone, publisher of The Journal; to ex - senator T. W. Palmer, to R. 11. K.

Doyle, of the Majestic Building C.; to the Saaluaw Press Club; to these and others, not forgotten, one and all, whose welcome, fraternity and farewell will be preserved among the most precious memories of our lives, we send back "hall all." and "may we fondly meet again." Resolved, That to John Nagle, editor of The Manitowoc Pilot, and the citizens of that enter- prising city, our thanks are most heartily ten• ddered for their royal bauquet, given jointly to the Minnesota and Wisconsin editorlai assoe,a- tions. It was an earnest or the activity and push of that city, and the brief reunion with the Wisconsin fraternity was ane of the most enjoy• able events of the trip. A Bit of History. To the Editor of The Gazette: As the old ship of state is now sail ing upon the waves of a protectiv tariff, will you please furnish to you readers a bit of political History fro the pen of Gen. Jackson, untie date of April, 1824: e m "1f we omit or refuse to use the gifts which Providence has extended to us, we deserve not the continuation of his bles- sing. He has tilled the mountains and the plains with minerals, with lead, iron, and copper, and given us a climate and soil for growing hemp and wool. These being the great materials of our national defense, they ought to have extended to them adequate protection; that our manufAc- turers and laborers may be placed In a fair competition with those of gawps, and that we have within our country a supply of those leading and important article's so essential to war. I will ask what is the real situation of the agriculturist? Where has the American farmer a market for his surplus produce? Except for cotton he has neither a foreign or home market.** In short, sir, we have been too long sub- ject to the policy of British merchants. It is time we should bgoome a little more Americanized and instead of feeding pau- pers and laborers of England feed our own, or else in a short time, by continuing our present policy, we shall be rendered pau- pers ourselves." In consonance with these senti- ments the leaders of Jacksonian democracy^,in 1828 furnished the highest protective tariff ever levied prior to the war of the rebellion, and within ten years changed front against the great protectionist, Henry Clay.
