N e # York, March 2.-j-R. O. Dun * Co.'» Weekly Review of Trade says: No Sold w gone out, though sterling ex-c h a n f has risen close to the export-ing pBnt, and it does tot yet appear that B e syndicate has made'any effort to c o w o l the exchange market. Lon-don m s sold about 4Q,000 shares of StoclMiring the week, and the market is diAict ly lower for railroad shares,' t h o u « a shade stronger for trusts. The j a c k market Waits abjectly, for LondB, and foreigners show thus far mon^plspoBition to sell than to buy. WithBawals of gold by redemption of l e g A d e r s have not ceased, but since the • e i p g of the syndicate contract hava^reraged about 9120.000 a day.

WHtt is cents higher, but clear-ly n ® because western ¡receipts are a triflcAss than a year ago nor because exp<^B from the Atlantic coast are s m a f l Nothing Is seen [to Justify any mafc^Bd rise, as supplies in sight do not ^^•rease more than they would nat-u n d A a account of bad weather. Corn is o h a shade higher, with western recs^B much smaller than last year.

Cl^ftn dropped a week ago to 3.5<> cen^Bthe lowest point ever known sincj^Bmodern classifications were ado^H, and has. not yet risen, though tho^Ht of a great rednctionin acreage thii^Har is as vigorous! as ever. The wh^Hmarket turns on the fact that

of American cotton here and a M H are considerably larger than

T W 1 industries make slow gains wh^Vthey make any. In the minor m o ^ B there is more business in lake co |^H at 9.65 cenits, with some offer-ing^H 9.5 cents, and forced sales have dej^Hted lead to .11 cenljs. Tin is also ws^B- at 13.1 cent*. with heavy im-p o i ^ H o n s .

T^Bmarket lor cotton igoogs is fairly a d f l and the dpmanq improves in flO^Bprad^s, hut is. on the Who"..}, de-ci |^Br disappointing, | though this v l H h w e has been no Sensational re-d ^ P a l a M i w » . .Ilndimfrta/llv ^ y . cumulation of goods continues, and ia moat dangerous for the trade. The sales of wool at the threef chief markets during the. last month have been 20,-303,550 pounds, against 18.444.131 last year, and 23.189,000 for t ie same weeks two years ago. atul whi le the mil ls making low grade goods pre f a i r ly sup-plied with orders it is a most unwhole-some feature'that numerous cancella-tions are reported, Indicating the goods supplied at exceptionall>j low pr ices do not meet the expectation, of buyers . On the other hand, the dejtnund fc r the goods of a better grade iseenis a little better than expected.

The truth is that the oriental is al-most completely destitute of those or-dinary humanitarian sentiments that prevail in Western countries.

4tnu>ng Mongolians is their physical development, says a writer in the Forum. Americans are wont to judge their bodily structure by the speci-mens in j the laundry shops of Sam Lee or Wi Pino; and the loose cloth-ing of the Chinaman conceals his brawny arms and legs when he has them. Seeing Thibetans in the Hima-layas—stocky tfhunks of m§n with an abnormal muscuiav development—had not brushed ajtvay my idea that the Chinaraaif was [rather a slim, unmus-cular oriental,! something -like the willowy Hindu;» but when] I landed in Singapore and j first saw numbers of coolies strippadj to Sheir Work, I was thunderstruck ,kt their massive pro-portions. i The 1 Chinese are compionly said to . be a «iseased race a people permeated with blood poisons; but one does? not see it in the average specimen; and one does see at eviery street corner men with limbs and torsos like Sandow, men who would be parked down for foot ball players in any American college. Not but what disease is .always an ac-companiment of so crowded a popula-tion; not that Its manifestations fail to impress you; but the Chinaman, far from being a taper-fingered mortal, is a tough, sturdy, fine fellow, with thews and sinews like an athlete, and plenty of amb|ition and courage— within his racial lines. Nor haTve I found any exception to the rule. Tho Mongol from ihe borders of India, Where, going east, you first strike his homely coarseness, * to the confines of Japan, where ypu say good-bye^ to his lovely cherry blossoms and his smiling bows, is everywhere, in physique, the same strong, enduring man. The Chinaman is filth y in mind, body and estate: the Japanese is equally clean, but in more physical quality they are very much alike. That the Mongol's nervous structure is less fine than the Anyan's is evidenced by, the fact that the average Ckinaman will endure unblanched the pain Of a surgical op-peration which [ would seriously com-promise the reactionary power of most white myn; and this, if any-thing, adds to | his value as a mere human animal. 1

Borrowj.l Military Terms From the Arable, Spiolih and Portuguese.

In the early dpys the rank of ad-miral was unknown; the chief officer of a squadron was called a Constable of justice. Thejterm almiral as now used is d^rivtjd from the Arabic 'jamir*1 or '-emir," a commander (as in "Amir-al-jBah|r," commander of the sea). The earljf English form was "|amiial," and is 6tiU preserved as such by the Fjren«jtt. The Spanish and Portuguese form! are,"alm.ir^nte,7' the Italian"ammiraglio." The title captain is not a naval but a military She,, says the Bijook^jn Citizen. Un-der the old orgat|izati,Oin the rgal cap-tain of a Sp'p was a master, but a mil* itary officer wap placed on board, though he know nothing about nauti-cal affairs.

Marketing requires ex-! perience and knowledge of difTere,nt cuts of meat, and to select for one-self is surely the most satisfactory and economical way of providing pro-visions for the family. This is only one of the cares of the housekeeper who believes . in business methods. Her account-books must be as care-fully kept as her hbsband's business ledgers. She knows to a. cent what i t cos t seach person for board. She keeps an itemized list of fine table and bed linen, for she is fastidious and likes nice belongings and helieves in taking care of the same. In poorlv managed homes a certain per cent of the monthly allowance has to go reg-ularly for replacing- articles lost or broken. Think what oth^r responsi-bilities are born3 by thè | thorough housewife! . ' " 1'. i

She must plan the menn and work for the d»y, and whatever she does not intend to do with her .own hands she must fully explain ! to others. How many times it is said that Women have no Idea Of time. It is this tri-fling with ;tim.3 which helps bring aboùt family discomfort and disorder-liness. "A ti ma for everything and everything on time'' is as good a maxim for the home as it is for the big manufacturing establishment. The common belief that the home will run itself while the mistress fritters away the day helps fill the hotels with restless women and .un-happy men, who £ound no peace in keeping house, says a writer in the Brooklyn Eagle,. If there is a clever wife or daughter Jfco quietly arrange the routine of home comforts no one thinks about any other plan of lijring. These are not "dry matters".and the greatest harm.'is done by letting daughters shirk all4 household cares, as their future happiness depends either on their experience in tbesa things or their willingness to learn.

In occasional instances when a purchase of some magnitude IS to be made and the taste and ad-vice of another is desirable a shop-ping companion is a real help. But ordinary shopping, the frequent ag-gregation of trifling purchases,, the sensible woman will accomplish in solitary comfort—or at least a nearer approach to i^ jan if she had another wofo^n with lier—to say nothing of ths increased comfort of the other Woman somewh?ri'else. ^ | . ^

blind people can distinguish between the different denominations of papjer money; that blind women can tell thé colors of worsted and other material: that men and women who are bliad can travel all day through our bufey streets without loss of life or limb and even without the chance| of accident; that an actor can perform his psirt upon the theatrical stage, although blind, as naturally as any man who can see his way before the footlights-^ that almost all of the affair« of life have been performed as perfectly py the blind as they fan be done^ bv

»Others, and when you. too, are in-formed of these astonishing facts. 1 am sure we cannot dfcubt the proposi-tion that when the eyesight is goiae the other senses fly to make up the deficiency in the bedngj over whom they preside and, to a grieat degree at least, repair the deficiency.) j

One of the most astonishing ac-complishments of a-jdind man lis his walking around his roonnL throughout the house and through jtb$ crowded j

„streets of a cjity. I have found by èx- | perience, that the accomplishment of l this feat is tawing principally to the keen appreciation of the: air upon the skin. When approaching a solid ob-ject the air is* «»mpressed upon his face to a greater or less degree, according to the sine of that object and the velocity of approach.

Not only from description and comparison does a blind man alfrays paint h is picture or form his opinion, but frequently* by his personal observation;and compari-son. He can appreciate from J his touch and size by tile same method.

. Hearing is a great aid to him in pee-ing agouy, pain, joy, satisfaction ami other feelings depicted upon the coun-tenance. The ear is of vast value, to* him in expressing warnings ©f ap-proaching danger and in affording light to his soul by «»rtying to his brain harmonious sound.

"There are two fashions very largely, almost universally, affected by English women Just now that I don't think will be copied over here, even by the most pronounced faddist," remarked a wom-an Just back from a long stay In England, to a New York Sun reporter. "They arc thé chignon and the walk-ing cane. L |j

"The fashionable coiffure is hideous, nay, revolting, and I'm sorry to say it ia affected' by about lelght in ten Eng-lish women. It is simply a return to the most extreme style of the old chig-non, an immense wad of hair or imita-tion of one stuck straight out from the back of the head. In its extreme de-velopment it is often full as large as thel head which it .«Usflgures. Some-times you see a woman who aims to be ultra fashionable wearing, two of these monstrosities,. one aiop Of the other, and maybe a little sailoij hat perched atop of the wad, but not covering her head at all. The <«ily improvement over the old eliignonf is that, the pres-ent, one is a hair-cotered wire frame instead of a swab of hair. The vulgar people call it a 'ban.' In a trip around the continent T didn't see a single 'bun,' except on traveling English women. It Is purely English, and lively to re-main so. I j .

"The inevitable accompaniment of the chignon is the walking-cane, and it was to me the oddest thing in the world, when I arrived in England in the spring to see every woman walk-ing with a regular man's cane. The heavy fashionables carry heavy canes. Just as the 'Cliollles' jflo. I .traveled all round England, to aill the big towns and the fashionable} watering places and everywhere the cane was most conspicuous.

"But there's a reason ,for the cane, and. absurd as it is.i it Is a point for the cane, alioVc the chignon, for the lat-ter is without any excuse whatever. Queen Victoria is compelled to use a walking cane whenever she moves about, and it ls a compliment to her majesty—or from a silly aping of roy-alty. whichever yoju like—that the English woman carries a' cane. You re-member^ of course^ the 'Alexandra limp,' which nearly every English woman ajBfected souiie years ago. and which had its origin? in a lameneès of the princess oif WTa|es. It is in Just such ways that many of the fashiona-ble absuijditles of Europe originate. But heaven forbid us from the chignon and the cane." |

From King Solomon's mines to the Golden gate, from the great white road, over which Rider Haggard car-ried his readers to the land of Ophir, to the streets of the greatest city oa the Pacific slope, is a strange transi-tion, yet Christopher K.

He was all through the Matabtele war.- He was shot in thé left leg and received a wound in the r%ht shoulder from an assegai. He was forced to kill his hoirse to provide : food for the men. At another time he gratefully made a meal off rats. His adventures have been thrilling indeed.

He had an interview with Loben-gula in his kraal, when the king was surrounded with his induanas or counselors.

••I chad a good position in Cape .Town, but, like many another, caught the war fever and joined the chartered company's cavalry troop," said Hob-s son. ;

••On the way to Kimberley wo crossed the Karoo desert, and at. sun-set we stopped at a station ' called 'The Sisters.1 A more beautiful sight I have never seen, and I have travele<L the world over. At our féet lay the desert, dotted here and there with a scrubby growth, of brush. Away in the distance could be seen a range of mountains, made purple by the rays of the setting sun. In the foreground were Sheba's breasts, and lb the right of them could bo seen the great white road described in Haggard's story en-titled 'King Salomon's Mines.'

"This, then, thought I, is the land of Ophir, the land from which Sol-omon brought the gold and jewels that went to enrich the temple of Je-rusalem. The breasts stood out prom-inently and the white quartzite forma-tion shone like polished marble. The nipples were well define^, and the set-ting sun, throwing upon them a pink glow, emphasized the peculiar aptness ' of the name. " "The tactics of the Matabeles are the same as those of the Zulus, and like those fierce warriors, they, too,. have no knowledge of the word defeat. They form in regiments, or timpis, and the entire army makes the attack in a half-moon shape. They will not make an assault in the dark, but wait until dawn is just breaking. Then they come with a rush, and woe betide the company that is caught napping. More fearless fightei*s I have never seen. Death has no terrors for them,. and, indeed, a warrior will make a stepping stone «f his brother's dead body in order to get nearer an inevit-able death. But they could not stand the Gatling gun. It. mowed them down in regiments and still they. pressed forward. There would be a discharge from the battery, and when the smoke lifted the impi would ap-parently still be on the advance,

rt "It would ba a new regiment^ how-ever, the former having been almost annihilated by the Gatling guns. The stragglers would run up to our breast-works and facing instant death would hurl their assegais. It. was not re-ligious frenzy; it was training. From childhood they had held their lives in the hollow of their hands, and when it came to the time to do and die they had no fear.

"It was not Lobengula and the elders of the~ nation who wanted a war. It was the young induanas who forced the king into an open rupture and who prevented him making peace when honorable terms could havte been obtained. It, was after the?-Mata-beles had been subjected that the Wilson tragedy occurred —when the gallant little bahd surrounded by thousands of Matabeles, sang 'God Save the Queen, and then died to a man sooner than surrende p.

"That massacre was the result Of a big beer-drinking uprising. The Matabeles make a drink out of what is known as Kafllr corn. It is not like Indian corn, but is about the • sli/e of hemp seed. It is pounded and [placed in an earthenware vessel. Then it is covered with water and' allowed to ferment. When ready for use it re-sembles somewhat oatmeal and water. It is drank out of calabashes which have' grass sieves attached - to ; retain the solids in the liquor. It takes more than a white man's holding capacity to make the natives drunk, but when they once become intoxicated the earth is not big enough to hold them. It was a *big drunk' that was respon-sible for the slaughter of the members of the Wilson expedition.

"1 had'several narrow escapes dur-ing the war. The Portuguese had been encroaching on the Hartley hills, part of the company's territory, and we were sent out to find a ishoi*ter route to their basa of operations than by the Selons road. Myself, six troopers, a white interpretèr. and a guide formed* the party.' and we

started out with three days' provi-sions. We were fifteen days ¡getting to the Sabi river and thirtefeu days getting back. We ate up our horses, bartered our ammunition and blankets to the natives for something with which to fill our stomachs, a ad once, when we had b:»en two days without food, we took a string of veldt rats from a native and ate them ra<r. The native instead of being angry, took vs

to his kraal and fed ns on locusts and wild honsy.1 The insects looked Ilka grasshoppers, and I suppose were of the sams species that St. John tha Baptist ate. Anyway, we enjoyed them.w |i,

Arthur and Archer Young, of New Britain, twin brothers, who are a» alike as fwo copper cents or as tha proverbial peas in a pod, says tha New York Sun, entered Wesleyan uni-versity last autumn in the freshman class, and the difficulty of distinguish-ing them has led to no end of mistakes: The Young brothers say that the joke, being them of about twenty years' standing, has become a trifle old.

In college chapel they sit [next each other, and if one of them happens to ••cut»" the chapel monitor, whose duty is to record absences, has to flip up a. penny to decide which he shall mark absent. Both twins are on the varsity football team, and though they \are not heaty, they have distinguished themselves as being about the pluck-iest; players on the eleven.1 They wear similar bandages wrapped around*, their toW;colored heads, and their' sleeveless jackets are alike stiaihed with the blue dyè of their jerseys. The othe)r day in a practice game, the ball was fumbled in a scrimmage, and one of thle twins fell on it. Archer was playing half back on the varsity and Arthjur was lined up on the scrub. A doubt ht once arose in the mind of Coach Steel as to which side shoyld J have the ¡ ball, that ifunctionary, like everybody else, being unable to dis-tinguish ¡the twins. Accordingly ho ran tip toi the man who was scrambling to his foet with the ball and ackod ia a loud whisper:

"Say,-which Young are you, any-how, 'varsity or scrub?' "

One of ijthe brothers had an entrance condition! in some branch of his | pre-parat^ryw^rk, and a date was set for thé special examination.^ The brother who had the condition marked against him remained In his room, while the other twih took the examination and passed w|th flying colors. This hap? pened because a mistake was made originally in charging the wrong twin with a condition. , '., ' | * f

Forty or fifty miles northeast 6f Fresno lie« Burrough valley, a cleft In the Sierra Nevada at an elevation of 2,000 feet above theMrtíi of tbe sea, but surrounded on all sides by higher hill* which shut it in from tbe rest-of the world. The inhabitants of the valley number perhaps a dozen fami-lies, all farmers or raisers of moun-tain apple«. The only means of com-munication with the outer world is by wagons along a narrow road, or, more commonly, by horseback, for most of the people travel la-that way. The valley la nearly circular, some three miles across, and from Its! elevated po-sition It remains green tilll late in the auntmor. Near tbe oenter standi ; a white *s?iool house, and ¡dotting the valley «Ye the houses of its people, nearly all surrounded by groves of oaks, which give the valley the ap-pearance of one immense orchard.

For a l*>ng time the peojple tried to secure a post office aM^in, mail route into their settlement but without suc-cess. till a short time ago. The stage, on its bi-weekly tripa to the sawmills, fifteen miles beyond, jjpassed with the mail within five miles of Burrough valley, ana that was the nearest point to which tbe letter-bag came. Some time ago, jafter much petitioning, a post office «ras established, in tbe val-ley and a route authorized from that point t e the toll road, five miles away.j One carrier after another was em-ployed to take the mail to and from the vallej', and one after another gave up the ipb after a few months or a few weeks, j j The pay was small, the i

path across the range of hills was rcugh, leading through the woods most of the way, and except in the longest days of summer the whole trip bad to be made in tho night, and often through rain and snoér. The conse-quence was that none Of the men ij in the valley could be found willing ! to carry the mail, and tibe prospect was

. that the route would be discontinued. But after all other resources had

been tried in vkin a car rie was found in the person of Minèrva ! Everseli, a schoolgirl of 17, whoflhad jlived nearly al l her life in the valley and who vol-unteered to carry tbe miaii, not liso much for the meagre wage a s lor the sake of having any ooail at all. From that time to this shehasmade regular trips twice a week onj horseback, rain or shine, and the mail i s never late wm her account. s .

The girl mail-carrier's ¡parents aire well-to-do people, and they were i at first inclined to oppose tljae plan be-cause of the exposure and ¡danger, but she arguod her case so successfully that permission was given. The Un-dertaking is one t ea t takes some courage, but it cannot bel said to ijbe dangerous. That ooimtrjr is en the frontier,'and no settlelneni!lies beyond except for the scattered cabins of U^aers and hermits among tbe higher

j^ranges of the Sierra. Indians aire numerous up there, and although usually peaceful enough, they are mot to be wholly truste J, especially when drunk, as they often are. j ; But these half savages have always kept a re-spectful distancé from the brave girl whom they see g-a'ieping along tue mountain path hurrying té c a t c h t h e stage. They probably do] not respect her so much as they do th® revolver which they know she always carries In readiness, and which she knows bow to use with deadly effect.

The country is the hoipe of moun-tain lions and panthers, and although they seldom attack human being, they affé not pleasant eonijpanion* for one who passes at night through the woods where their dismal! voices are often heard uncomfortably near the path. ; F » ?

. I was one day standing in my gar-den near the trunk of a h o l d willow tree up which a scattered line of ants was crawling. After a time I observed an occasional straggler coming down in the i opposite ; direction. Here and there a couple of ants, ascending and descending, chanced to meet; but there ¡was no stoppage and no talk. Presently at about five feet from the ground 'I smeared a little hollow in the trunk with ; a ! large spoonful of thick treacle to see how long it would remain undiscovered. II then went away for a short; time, and on my re-turn fojund about a ¡dozen ¡aunts busily feasting on the treasure.

A minute or tiro j later | one óf the feastere crawled Mowly down the trunk with heavy feet, land when near the ground met a friend, whom he sud-denly arrested on his way up, and with his antennae,' which he applied vigorously, held ja good talk. What was said I know j not; but the triend knew and marched steadily on up the tree to'jtbë newly found treasure. Meanwhile ¡the bearer of tihe good tid-ings icade his Own way Quickly back to the nest a lew ; yards off in the grass, to which I watched him. He was soon lost to Mew, but 'beyond all dotâbt soon spread the news Of treasure trove throughout the colony.

Within half an hour of ¡the time a long unbroken line of hungry ants was marching difecf ^o the tree; making straight for the least, remaining there for a time, and thei} returning'to tho nest in another line oh the other side of the willow. Th js procession of as-cending and descending termites, went on lor some hOiws, in fact, until dusk, when the numbers of advancing guests grew less and less, l a d finally ceased.

of my wife's old friend and schoolmate.

I never liked Belle Hastings partic-ularly well; there was somethinjg in her darls gray eyes that looked treacherous to me even in her girl-hood, and now, after a two years' so-journ in wricked New York I fancied, as jealous men sometimes will,j that «he was n o fit companion for my j gen-tle Amy.

But my wife seemed radiantly happy when Belle and her brother took the house next doojr. ? < J

I said nothing, but a^ that inStan^ I felt a curious sensation burning in my heart, ¡and knew, bnt would not admit, even to myself, the fact that I was jealous of Arthur Hasting's near-ness to my treasure.

For Arthur Had loved her once iri the days when they were boy and girl together,.but he was poor and sicklyj while I was quite the opposite, and although ¡¡I never really doubted) Amy's lorf, I sometimes found myself wondering if she had ever cared^forj Arthur.

I was not neglected in a«y manner.! Amy was alwa5*s there when I ar-rived, and: the house was always as bright and cheerful as could be, but all her plans for ourselves were soi interwoven with plans iforour neigh-bors that the feeling that I was noj longer foremost in her mind drove me nearly f n | t i c with suppressed reserft-ment. And one morning the rage in my heart Overcame my will entirely.

"You think altogether too much of Belle Hastings and her brother," £ •aid, with a meaning accent, when Amy had Itinished tell ing me some plan that she had made for her neigh-1

bors' entertainment. My wife lojoked surprised and

pained at imy sudden outbreak, and! replied with a little show of temper;

"Belle iS ray best friend," she said,! hotly, '^and Arthur, poor fellow, isl my best friend's brother."

"And your lover once," I retorted fiercely. "You should have married him if you regarded him so highly." And then, slamming the door, I left! her for the first time in our married; i ife without the usual kisses and ca-resses.

That night when I returned- home I heard my wife and her; friend talking soft ly together in the parlor. -I was

* wits'« endearing message. I was satisfied now |nat my jealousy wa« not groundless. '' For fully fire minutes I remained motionless in the hall, while-, the blood whirled madly through my veins (and my heart pounded in my chest like the blows from a huge sledge hammer.

My first thought was to» leave her at once, bnt there came the hideous thirst for vengeance. So she bad triekedl me, this gentle, saint-like woman, and the man who was tbe "idol of her heart" was that pale-faced rogue, her next door neighbor. I saw and understood everything now,-even to the minutest 'dltafls of" their clever plsins and plotting«.

B ; dinner time I was calm and com-posed, bnt there tfras a distant haughtiness about 'mjy manner that repelled my wife in tyer treacherous advance«. I knew her now, and act-ing could not deceive me. She looked at me wistfully and with actual tears shitting in her eyes, b i t I ignored hsr glance completely and busied myself with the eventag paper.

After dinner I went out and le f t her alone without so l iuch as aaying I was going, but about 9 o'clock I crept guiltily backand placed my ear at the keyhole of «iy own wife'p chamber.

It was as I thought; Belle was there, and this was what I caught of a hurried conversation.

"He was thoroughly indifferent" Belle was saying, 'fand not only showed me that he resjented my inter-ference, but that he j was disgusted

not overpleased to find Belle there,1

for I had fqilly made up my mind to apologize to my wife and try to es-tablish the old affection, but just as I reached the parlor door, without in the least attempting to listen, I heard my Uife talking in * the most plaintive tones, as if her very heart was broken.

"Go to him, Belle, and tell him that | I love him! Tell him that it is all a

mistake—that he alone is the idol of my heart, and no other'could take his place e Éen for a minute."

1 turned abruptly upon my heel and entered the; study door, where I could not hear th^ir voices, and then, with my brain ia a perfect t.umult of be-wilderment, I sat down to reason out my wife's strange message. To whom was the message to be carried—to myself, her husband, or to Arthur Hastings? I f to me, why should a bearer be necessary? add if to Arthur —but Fcould not harbor such a vile suggestion. 1 ^f

At first-I fe l t angry at Amy for thns revealing our first disagreement, but Belle was hier childhood's friend, and it | * women the World over will tsll their woes to onei another. I, waited a little longer and! then, hearing the parlor door open and close, concluded Bel le had startedi to find me. ;I rose eagerly and openedi! the door, and in another instant, almost foolishly expectant, I was standing close beside her. . "Good evening," she said sweetly, as she finished buttoning her glove. "I have been calling on Amy and did not know that you weré homo. " Then, to my utter surprise and distress, she walked abruptly to the door, and with a pleasant nod, opened it and wee i out, to deliver« I suppose, my

further demonstration I am sorry \ ¿or you, dear,** she added, "but all

men are not alike, J assure you, and my brother^—!" but here I lost the rest.

So it seemed that my worst suspi-cions had been verified. The message had been for Arthur| Hastings, and he, the contemptible, ¿>ale-faced man, had declined her offer |of affection.

In an instant the whole tide of my anger was turned toward him—the man who could scorn a woman's hoaor. I forgot (that she had wronged me and disgraced her-self, for my brain was burn-ing at this man's asdacious treat-ment. There was jhst a moment in which to act, for I csuld hear Balle coming across the fiopr, and turning the key quietly in the • lock, I l e f t her fumbling at the door and rushed al-most headlong out to call upon my rival. , I- I j •

I burst into Arthur Hasting's près* ence in a state of almost furious an* ger, and without a word of explana-tion, I seized him by one feeble shoul-der and nearly shook ; the breath out of his body.

"Soyou are the black-hearted scoun-drel who has ruined:; my home and then declined ray wife's affections? ' I whispered hoarsely. | "You are the meek-faced, skulking hypocrite who has pretended friendship for mie even while yon robbed me éf my honor!*'

I stopped then, suddenly, as I be-gan, for the man had turned almost ghastly in the face anjtl fal len heavily before me on the carpet.

What had I done? Had I really killed hira in ray ftjry?. And then shame, for the horrible advantage I had tr-ken. overpowered me complete-ly, aud Hushed my | face with a coward's crimson.

I stood above him nbw in horrible consternation, when j suddenly the door flew open and m t wife and Belle stood breathless before me.

P R O M P T RESCUE A T SEA.

Much-Soaked Man Returned to t h e Ship In Seven Minuté*.

A story of the prompt rescue; of a "mall overboard" a t sea, in which a prominent s ea fa r ing man of this c i ty figured, is told by a correspondent a s follows: "Nearly a qua r t e r of a Cen-tury ago the s teamship Yazoo, under the command of Capt . L. D. Bar re t t of Philadelphia, was slowly feeling her way down the harbor of. H a v a n a Lighters were towing alongside!, and sai lers and stevedores and l ightermen were hust l ing to get the last package on boàrd and still get pas t the "Morro" before sundown. 'ïîhe quar t e rmas te r was in the ac t of s t r ik ing eight bells when a shrill shr iek firom a lof t , followed by a bounding body and a splash In the sea, gave notice of a m a n overboard. The capta in promptly signaled the en-gineer to reverse the engines. A big white life bUoy, a lways ready, was well thrown by the long Pureser Metcalfe, and a rush was made for the purser ' s gig which was still- hanging by her falls, the gripes not having been se-cured. As the drop of the boat f rom her fal ls was heard, a shrill whistle came over the waters , and the men buckled to their oars, shout ing encouragingly to the swimmer. By this t i m e the pow-erful engines had overcome the head-way, and the ship was backing sis f a s t a s the boat pulled, so t h a t wheii 'man and buoy were picked up they were al-

| most alongside, and the ' boa t and crew "Oh, Char l ie j Cha rge ! W h a t have I w^llfied t o ra,i1 h / t!?Lru"-_H»Z_L«. - i — ^ . j I Oh! I am all broke to pieces/" were

the first words f rom the sea-sbaked man.

"Well, we've got the pieces, go a h e a d with the ship," was the captainfs an-swer. •; -f

"Seven minutes, sir ," was Reported by the quar te rmas te r . "Severtj minutes, sir ," came f rom t h e engine-room, and the crew went back to their duty a f t e r seven minutes of the sharpes t work ever done under the circumstances.— Philadelphia Record.

you done?" my wife shrieked excited-ly, bnt Belle Hastings, apparently j understanding all, rdshed over and knelt beside her brother.

"It is I who have killed him," she said in a voice of agdhV. "

"It is I who am tot blame for this i horrible error. I did deliver your ! message, Amy, and y o i r husband has I beard and misconstrueid it."

Paralyzed in every Smb Amy and I stood silently and i watched the j wretched woman as stye moaned over! the prostrate form and caressed the | ghastly features. Th^n while I, his murderer, remained m«te with horror she raised hsr haggard eyes to my face again, while her dry lips could hardly express their language. |

"He loved you, oh, so dearly. Amy, but he was honorable to the end, my brother, and would never wrong you or your husband. But! I—•," here she shuddered in mortal paia, "I loved him so dearly that I was false to you. i would havé parted yqu if I could—" but her calmness could endure no longer, jrj 4>--\i ] ^ < 1 ,

While Belle wept and wailed above her dead I turned one urild, appealing glance toward Amy, find in utter hopelessness my glance ^was answered.

Shivering with horror she took my hand and led me close beside my vic-tim, then taking Belle'« also in her own she forced her to look up while she whispered the words of onr con-demnation.

"We are all to blame," she said, nobly. "but God alone jean read onr hearts. He was innocapt, poor, dear Arthur, but weeping nlill not bring him back, and now there is nothing left' bnt to separate and keep his awfnl; fate a secret." > Then rever-ently we knelt and kissed the dead, and when we had arisen, she, the purest of us all, was able through her innocence to dream thajt I might be forgiven.

Often Express Their Frafsr—i—« I» the Matter of Style.

"I never actually knew anybody who keptî his coffin in his house," w d an undeRtaker to a New York Sun man, "but I have read of sueh things and I h i v e no doubt they are true, just as I believe the stories of some women keeping in the bottom of bu-reau drawers their own grave clothes, which ttajey made themselves. i*But men soma times choose, if not the par-ticular eahket in which they want to be buried! the stylo of coffin that they prefer, aitd I know of one man who drew the plans for the casket in which he was buried. He had his own ideas of what was most suitajble, aud we made a casket in accortlance with the drawings 'which he furnished, and then boxed it up and stored It for him. Hel was a man advanced in years. It is interesting to note tha> the casket so planned had square ends and perfectly straight sides and ends; in fact, ini shape i t was precisely the same as fhe present most advanced style of tiodern burial casket, which was not {introduced until some years afterwardL g ftp

'•It is qot at all unusual for men to look at caskets, express admiration of some of them and say that they would, like to b3 buried in such or such a i style.. These men might be simply friends who had come to see me, or they migHt be here on business, but not with regard to a funeral.. Some of the modern burial caskets are very costly anf beautiful, and as unlike the old-fafahidned coffin as could ba imagined! It is no wonder that? men admire tl|cm, but it doesn't follow at all that they soon expect to need one.

*«Aj few! months ago there came in a man and his wi'e, people of perhajis 50 years, land I should say well-to-do, who wantfed to look at the caskats, or rather hojdid. They came to a very beautiful pasket of mahogany, on > of modern style, with sguare / ends imt straight sides and ends, and carved a little, butjnot elaboratelyi, Evidently he had heard of such a casket before' or haa seen one, and so was familiar with it, and he ad mi tod it greatly. .

" 'TheI|0,, he said to his wife, call-ing her by name, 'that is the kind of casket that I would like to be buried in,' and i i was clear, that it seemed to him verv beautiful, as it certainly was. But. bless us! he like every-body else ¡almost; 1 have no doubt he expects to l ive for a hundred years. I saw him at the theater thé other night with his wife. They had dined comfortaoly, and they were in, the fullest enjoyment of life, and I fanpy that it will be many years before either of [them comes to tho end; of life, but I venture to say that if ho dies first .his wife will faithfully see that he isjbiiried in a mahogany boffin such as hé admired."

protect tl|em is one of the highly in-teresting subjects which has been, de-f veloped by research and discussion in the last f«tw years, but less attention! has been baid to the equally interest-! ing subject, of the use of colors fin! friiits. It is a highly suggestive fact that untillthe seeds of A plant are ripe its fruit remains the same color as, its leaves, aim is therefore effectually con-cealed. But as soon as the seeds are ready for distribution by birds or an-imals which feed, on the fruit the color of the fruit becomes brilliant in many plants, while in all it is in marked contrast to the color of the leaves.

Dr. Tissle, a well-known French phy-sician, has been s tudying the subject of excessive physical culture. He ]j>oints out in Science Sif t ings tha t therS is a similarity between the nervous fa t igue which follows violent and prolonged ex-ercise and certain hypnotic states!. All fa t igue is In the U e rves; the muscles simply lose their power. In violehjt and prolonged physical exercise the v.HSte of the body is rapid and extremeL and a t the end i ts victim is in a^ s t a t e of poisoning f rom the .accumulation of waste products in his system not thrown off. He is like a pa tent recov-ering f rom some disease. The muscu-lar overs t ra in in the case is like tha t , which resul ts f r o m such nervous shocks I a s a re sometimes produced by violent emotions or by d readfu l dreams, j f

Dr. Tlssie made a special s tudy of the j case of a runner in a "go-as-you-please" j

' r ace , whifch continued twenty-four-hours. The first effect of the nervous I exhaust ion was a feeling of great fa-tigue, followed by loss of interest and disgust. Next came phenomena of il-lusion or hallucination, of double; per-sonality, loss of memory and a great need of sleep. The doctor claims t h a t the real aim of every t ra iner for the r ing is to produce an au tomat ic s t a t e in the one who is to t ake pa r t in the contest of physical s t rength . His whole" science is to t r ans fo rm t h e man he t ra ins into a being t h a t will keep on automatical ly . Something of this oc-cur s fn all ¡overstrain f rom prolonged physical exercise. The plodding^ action which resul ts Is akin to the constant repetition of the same word over! and over until it becomes a fixed idea lb the. mind. The doctor 's conclusions are tha t the abuse of athlet ic sports Is an evil; t h a t the players lose character and tend to re t rograde f rom intellectual volition to an habi tual automat ism. Jus t a s modera te exercise is good, so these- Intense exercises are bad.

:" My mother-in-law, Mrs. Elizabjeth Wolfe, at the age of 72 years, was ¡at-tacked with a violent form of salt rheum; it spread all over her .body, and her hands and limbs were dreadful to look at. At the same time, my little daughter Clara, who was just one yjear old, was attacked by a similar disease, like scrofula. It appeared in

L a r g o S o r e s under each sale of her neck; had thé at tendance of ; the family physician and other doctoral for a long time, but semed to grow worse. 4 I read of many people cured ' of scrofula by Hood s Sarsaparilla. As soon as We gave Hood's Sarsaparilla to' Clara, she be-gan to .get better, and before the first Bottle was gpne, the sores entirely healed up and there has . never been any sign of the disease since. She is a

Her grandmother took Hoodfs Sarsa-parilla at the; same time, and the salt rheuyv decreased in its violence and a perfect cure was soon effected, j It took about , three months for her cure, and she ascribes her good health and strength at her advanced age to Hood's Sarsaparilla. It has certainly been a Godsend t o m r family." MRS. SOPHIA, WOLFE, Zales i i , Ohio. . L j

When I tell you this wonderfitl thm^—that I lunclied J j

Wl'h a k i a j and a queen to-dpy.

The palace was—well, it was rather plain, And only a-few feet sjquara. I

And some bread and ?ins--er cai;è, milk an i jam Were all the royal (aire.

The butler was prand in a necHtie white, j And crave as a judee could i j j è

But he had four feet; ianil looked vèry much Like our own old Jodk to me.i

The lrinc was dressed in a trorgfeous robe, And the Queen's wasiexquisitfe.

And rhei' both had beautiful golden ero was That didn t exactly fit [ .

Their manners were; di;nifi4d prave land ; srajnd.

Their appetites royilly nice, j Though the queen»«ot! her pinafore?stained

with jam ~ j ; And his majesty ¿hoiied himself twics

And after the lunchcon (the ca^es of s t l t e Had tired her out. m*vhap» id

The qucén t;nespectedl|y fell asleep, With'her curly browa head iq my lap

"¡• or she i=; so little, yqjd see," ^he king Explained in a «jrave aside, | i

"She dpttsn t remfrmber her pakft very welir* And lie looked mucb mortified

Till quite forgetting his rank, ihe, too. Sat down on the nursery floor

Andjptaye I with a top ¡arid a trfiin of cars For Ufteen minutes or mora J

Then fearing mv visit mi-'ht last too l o n j ~ For he seemed to he l)ore I, I |hou;ht , I

And the queen wokè up in a fractious mpod— My call to an end I brought | ;

I courtes'od low to the king, and kissed j Her majesty'* hand so white,}

Out they sprang on me with a laughing shout And hii :ged me close and tight.

The queen's gold crown slippqgover her neck. And the king's from his head'was lost,

And the royal cheeks were redias a rose,; And the royal locks were tossed.

The royal robes from their shoulders fell, And their rcyal dignity fled, j

And • -Wasn't it fun, mtimma,!''? they cried, My own little Trix arid Tei ! | —Margaret Johnson, In Youth's Companion.

A Poor .Old W o m a | T h I U ' Her Soil's Grave Every l iar .

Her pinched facc was pressed close { against the window df the strret car and she kept up à continual murmuring J of "Hie is not here." It was truly a « pitiful sight, sàys the Louisville Com- j merci a 1. A poor old woman had just; j boarded the street ciar at the head off | Broadway and was on her w a y down | tp\vn. Every one could see that some \ great troublé was weighing on her : mind and one Of the ladies in the «¿if | told me what she Knew of the poor ; woman's story. She was a widow^ whOi J had one son. He tjas her only support) jj and itjily had ÏÏved togcîKêr îôf ïcârs . j They thought the wdrld and all of, each ! other àjnd lived only far each other. There njever was a time when thp son j went to work but he leaned ovef .and ; kissed the old mother goodbjjj? ah£ sl^e i welcomed him with Outstretched jarmiJ when hp reaclyd home In the evening. Everybody remarked about It j and i there were few young men who stood higher In the neighborhood on this acr j count. ' He w a s if model young ¡man, S At the approach ©f this Win let h^ was • taken suddenly ill of pneumonia and j after a short illness he idled. The re-mains were interred; at the St. Louis j cemetery and when slhe heardi the clods falling on the casket the Another's ¡mind j began to fail. She had toi be taken j away by some of the neighbors who ; had attended the funeral. EVcrjj -day : | since,|rain or shintvSn s^op thff >fnow||| she has visited the' ¿fetneieryl and jwept! j over ¡the grave. \ir*tei%lay! ¡»he; had. . been to the graveyard arid w:ijs op h e r ] way home! It Is un|y a '/|U«sljon[ of aj j short time that she wifl l>e s|rpa|-ntedl . frotp him, for she is fold an«li ttembling j from many infirmities. | Tjljiesje ¡is |:$|;| fright look in her fajjled;J>yes c^ca^ong 1 ally that tells of; the: sloW dtjpafrfure ¡or j reason.

Deafness Can Not Be Care4 try local applications, as they can not reach tne diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness a n d t h a t is by consti tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to i ts nor-mal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever ; nine cases out of teif a re caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an in-flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
