ForMfiflhydrngfMl ‘‘Look, girls, there they go Period one o f a gay group. “Aren’t they perfectly lovely?’’ “Indeed they are!” ‘ Little black beauties!” “ Oh for a drive behind them !” Tw o beautiful black ponies driven by an aristocratic looking young man went dashing by, and four o f the group o f girls commented as above; the fifth, however, maintained a dignified silence. “N ot a word from A ggie,” said one, saucily. “I suppose she has already driven behind them, or else she means to soon.” “ Say have you met B oyce Lester, A g g ie? D o com e down from your pedestal and speak once to ns poor ordinary mortals,” said another, laugh ingly, and at length Miss A ggie St.. Paul condescended to speak, “ I met Mr. Lester once, this very morning, at Lizzie Lee’s, where we both happened to call together, that is, I found him there. 2Jo, I have not yet driven behind those magnificent horses.” “ ‘N ot yet,’ ” repeated the first saucy speaker. “ O f course she means to do so right away, that’s plain.” A toss of the haughty head was all the reply Miss St. Paul returned, “ Oh, girls, let A ggie alone, do! A n y one listening to ns would think we were setting our caps for Boyce Lester, and I ’m sure it’s not so,” said Elsie Saunders. “ W ill you come my way, Janie ? I ’ m going to Mr. Lee’s to in vite Lizzie to my birthday picnic, and I will tell her to ask this much to he envied Mr. Lester; I suppose that is what is expected of.me, as he is Lizzie’s cousin and a stranger in the place.” Janie M oore and the merry young speaker took leave o f the others to gether, and soon there was no one left o f the chattering group but the haughty little lady whose home was in the pretty house standing near. “ I do mean to drive after those ponies soon,” was her half whispered acknowl edgement, as she turned to go in after watching the last o f her departed guests out o f sight. “ I stole a march on them all this morning, and I ’ll show them, at the picnic to-morrow, that it is very easy to get an invitation to sit behind those ponies, and mayt-e—” Whatever the probability M iss St. Paul ct gitated might be )t did not ap pear, but from her determined manner it bade fair to become a possibility very soon. A little later, Janie and Elsie called on their homeward walk to report their success to A ggie St. Paul. Elsie was triumphant. ‘ H e was still at Lizzie’s. “ H e was introduced to us, and I gave him the invitation in person. H e w ill be sure to come. Get on your most captivat ing smiles, Aggie, so as to get a drive behind those lovely horses just as soon as possible,” she chattered on. “ O f course it would never do for you to be serious fo r five minutes, Elsie; as i f 1 cared for B oy Lester, or his horses,” was A ggie’s reply. Then the girls once more separated, each to prepare fo r the day in the woods which would cele brate the anniversary o f Elsie Saunders’ birthday. I t dawned in perfect splendor, and though the anticipated pleasure was only the much berated festivity o f a picnic, many young hearts were genu inely happy in the anticipation. For everybody knew that the ride to W illis’ grove was in every requisite perfect, granted the extremely favorable weath er which now ruled the elements con tinued, and that the groye itself was a most charming resort. There .were swings, croquet fields and a tennis court; and the waters o f a beautiful lake reached to the edge of the well-kept grounds where several gaylv painted boats stood always ready for the pleasure o f those who loved, the water. W ell qualified persons w ere sent on with full instructions to prepare re freshments in a unique and attracti ve style, and altogether the affair vy-as to be—if indeed the term picnic were at all applicable— one o f the ideal sort. A nd so it proved. F or some time all seemed to be happy; there were none who appeared to feel bored or in the w ay; there was a dearth o f bugs and caterpillars, and the sky was “ as blue as blue could be.” Early in the day the five girls in troduced at the beginning o f this sketch, came by chance together near the water. One other was with them, a sweet-faced girl, who would have been styled plain by aimost any casual* observer, though all who were well ac quainted with her recognized her claim to the best of all beauty. A s usual, the merry five were in a bantering mood. “I t ’s a shame for so many o f us to be crammed into that big wagon, when those two delightful ponies have only one young gentleman to carry,” began Elsie Saunders. “ O f course he means to take some one home; the mystery is who w ill be the fortunate one,” supplemented Janie Moore. “ Aggie St. Paul, o f course,” said Bell Gray, with a half envious lo o k toward dark-eyed Aggie. “ So he has only to choose between you, eh, girls?” querried SusieBeed,the: plain, quiet g irl before spoken of, with a mischievous smile, ' “ B ut you know, Susie, it would really be quite an honor to be chosen by Boyce Lester; yes, even fo r A ggie St. Paul!” declared little Jennie Bay, so earnestly that the girls all laughed in chorus, while they blushed at Susie’s rallying speech. ' W hile the blushes and laughter still Her missile was well aimed, and ut tering a cry, the animal limped away. “A ggie St. Paul! H ow could you do that? H ow -d a re you?” cried Susie Beed, with flashing eyes and fiery cheeks. She ran to the table, and snatching a piece o f cake, went in search of the dog, whose whining she heard among some willows near the water not far away. B ut never was good Samaritan more Completely surprised than was .Susie Beed when she cam e suddenly upon the object o f her search, held tenderly in the arms o f Boyce Lester. H e saw’ the pitiful light in Susie’s brown eyes and the piece o f cake in her hand, and could easily have understood the situ ation even i f he bad not witnessed the scene ju st described. . “ Thank you, Miss Beed,” he said, with never a smile; indeed, he did not feel like laughing. “ The dog is a favorite o f mine, and having run so far in search of me, is doubtless in need o f something to eat.” He put the dog, a medium sized pointer, down as he spoke, and he ceased his whining and took the cake from Susie’s hand, eating it greed ilj’, but with a “ thank you” in the speak ing eyes Which Susie easily interpreted. “Is his leg badly hurt, Mr. Lester? I am sure Aggie did not mean to wound h im ” “ There is quite a jagged cut, hut it will soon heal,” replied the young man. H e bad no words o f exoneration for A ggie St. Paul, for he had seen the act with its accompanying manner and tone o f voice, and knew very well that the young lady had meant to hurt the in offensive animal. “ I think I will carry Don to my wagon, give him food and water and leave him there till i go home, if you w ill excuse me a moment, Miss Beed; and then if you w ill be so good as to favor me with your company, I will row you out on that beautiful little lake.” Susie signified her willingness, gave the dog a sympathetic good-by pat,then turned away to join the group o f girls she had left. They were somewhat excited, having seen Boyce Lester walk out from the cluster o f willows, followed by the limping dog, and asked not a few ques tions, which Susie amwered collective ly“It was lioyce Lester’ s favorite dog; hefollow ed him, having broken loose, I imagine. H e is not very badly hurt, Aggie, hut really, I do not understand how you came to throw that stone; the dog was only tryiDg to find his master.” “ W ell, he apparently found him, and so did you !” snapped Aggie, fo r ODce descending from the height o f dignity which she usually mounted and main tained, “ I have promised to sail with him, girls,” continued Susie, ignoring .the spite in A ggie’s voiceIndeed, she was too simple hearted and innocent to see that having gained favor with rich, handsome Boyce Les ter she was losing proportionately with some o f her girl friends, more especial ly A ggie St. Paul, But Boyce soon returned, smiling and polite, greeting A ggie and the others with gay words, haying appar ently forgotten the existence o f poor Don, whom he had comfortably placed among the softest of his carriage blankets, however.and o f whom he did. think, often, with regret for the pain lie knew he was suffering. A ll, Aggie, that was an unlucky stroke o f yours J W ould that all such needless acts o! cruelty might be as swiftly and justly avenged! The day was spoiled for A ggie St. Paul, and not only that day bnt many others. She could hardly believe her eyes when she saw plain Susie Beed walk away with the prize she had intended to capture easily herself. •‘And all because o f that old dog!” she muttered under her breath as she watched the young pair flit away over the glassy lake. “ I f it were any one but Susie I should think she had man aged the matter, and knew whose dog it was, and that Boyce was there in the willows.” Much to Susie’s surprise Boyce re- “ Weli, then, not till I saw how good you were to that poor doggie; I think it must have begun just a little about then.” “ Wellv-Sihile we ate in the confes sional, I will tell you that I had a Strong leaning toward that dark-eyed Miss St. Paul, hut the incident at the picnic in which poor Don figured so painfully cured that feeling very effect ually. I saw how such a woman as she would be likely to rule over the dumb creature I loved to have about,, and I decided to keep clear o f ber be fore she had made a capture and ren dered it necessary for me to find out when it was too late that we clashed on a Very important point too strongly ever to admit o f our being happy to gether.” “So i t was the very same sentiment that attracted us toward each other— our love for dumb, helpless creatures.” “I believe it was, dear, and I believe, too, that it makes a very good foun dation for a stronger love,” answered the doctor, clasping the hand of bis young w ife as it lay on the head of Don, who looked on understandiugly. “A nd so do I,” agreed Susie. “ A man who is kind to his animals will be kind to his wife.”— W aterley M aga zine. the remainder o f the day, and when preparations were being made for de parture, he said,— “ It you do not m 'nd Don lying at our feet, Miss Susie, I shall be only too happy to have you accept a seat in my carriage for the homeward drive. “ Oh, I do not mind,” answered Susie, quickly, and several o f the girls smiled at her prom pt acceptance, pretending to tliink’she was eager to receive Boyce Lester’s attentions, while in their hearts they all knew that her quick re sponse was prompted by the desire to assure him that his offer was worthy of acceptance, and that the presence of his injured pet was not, by her, cOn sidered offensive. The black ponies 'started off in fine style, and Susie, looking down at the glossy head o f Don at her feet, felt only pity and . admiration for the poor, wounded animal, and bestowed many a gentle caress upon him during the drive, which, was as delightful to her as it was rare The dark, spiteful look which Aggie St. Paul had given her as She was driven away had not hurt her, for she had not seen it. Y et, remembering suddenly the laughing conversation which had been held among the group o f girls of whom she had been one,just before the episode which had thrown herself and Itoyce together, Susie Deed’s plump cheeks flushed a brilliant scarlet-, and she almost laughed aloud at the thought that she, of all otheis, should be in the very pleasant position she now occupied. When, a few years later, B oyce Les ter returned from his concluding stud ies and settled in A shville to practice the profession o f medicine, there w‘as the usual leaning of marriageble ladi With intentions matrimonial toward the dashing young doctor ; hut to the only one who remained modestly on one side—namely, Susie Beed— he turned, w ith a purpose which had been three years maturing; and it was not many months before Miss Beed be came Mrs. Lester, and consequently, join t owner o f -those derirable black ponies and : 5 he rest o f her husband’s belongings, among which was Don,who became her beloved and faithful ser vant. “D o you know, Boyce,” said Susie, one day, “ it has always been a won der to me that yon could have chosen me in preference to several o f the girls who, I know, were quite ready to re ceive your attentions, while I honestly assure you that I did'-not care a fig for you— that is, nbf in that way— at least, not till—" “H ot till when; little one?” insisted; lingered* a sligfit rustling near by ‘ Boyce. A N ew Asbestos Mine. The wonderful asbestos mine found near Hamilton has been uncovered in a' ledge for a distance o f seventy-five feet, and at the cropping, or as far as the discoverers have been able to go in this brief time, says the Olympia Tribune, the ledge proved to he eight feet in width. The rock taken from the ledge after the surface crusting was removed is pure asbestos ore, as white as chalk and fine as silk, the feathery fibers being a,s long as the pieces o f rock from which they are pulled, in some cases reaching the en-' tire length of eighteen inches. From the remarkable progress made, it is estimated that one month spent in de velopment would so open the easily ac cessible store as to enable the valuable contents to he removed in almost any quantity. The mine is being opened at an altitude o f about 2,000 feet. A s bestos is found in Switzerland, Scot land, Virginia, Vermont, and on Staten Island, off the coast o f Hew Jer ey. The finest quality discovered up to this time is in Italy. I t Is used extensive ly in the manufacture o f fireproof roof ing, flooring, clothing, hose, steam packing, lamp wricking, safe filling,and as a non conducting envelope for steam pipes. M aple Sugar. In a paper read before the American Association on “The Indian Origin of Maple Sugar,” by Mr. H enry W. Henshaw, o f Washington, the point was as to "Whether the Indians learned to make o f the whites, or vice verm. The argu ment drawn from the maple tree festi vals and linguistic evidence showed the red men were in no way indebted to the whites lor sugar, no more than for the cultivation o f corn, the pump kin, bean, and tobacco. Their simple process was aboriginal, resulting from their own observation and inventive powers. They collect the sap in birchbark vessels. These bold in some cases a hundred gallons. They take advan tage o f cold April nights to freeze the sap, and in the morning throw out the ice. They evaporate it by throwing hot stones into the reservoirs o f sap. The sugar is eaten mixed with corn. Sometimes the pure sugar is their only diet for a month. They boil yenison and rabbits in the hot sap as they evaporate it. They also make sugar from the silver maple and box elder. That the Indians made sugar from times unknown is proved by their language, their festivals, and their tra ditions. Several authors o f early times, telling o f their visits to the Indians, mention maple sugar, and one o f them, in 1*156', describes the Indians’ mode of preparing it. The gathering o f sap and making o f sugar formed one o f their annual religious ceremonies. Laziness a Foe to Original ity . W e do not know who said it, hut it is a fa ct well stated, and we regret not giving the writer proper credit. The greater enemy to individualism is laziuess, and those who know anything o f human fraiities will, I am sure, hear me out when I.say that “ mental” lazi ness is far more common and. far more difficult to overcome than the body. It Is so much easier to accept dogmatic teaching, and to shift the responsibility o f our views, on to others rather than to concentrate our thoughts and work out the lessons o f our own observa tions. I t is more pleasant to butterfly from theory to theory than to seek truth with patient tenacity; why trouble ourselves to learn self-reliance, when natural Indolence protests against the sacrifice? It is easier to Imitate th -n to origi nate; plagiarism and mimicry are such prominent features in our lives, their presence might almost be quoted as an argument in favor o f our evolution in past ages from simian ancestry. H ow plausible are the excuses we make for our want o f this individualism! W e are so dreadfully afraid . o f being thought bumptious, we are so delight fully humble; we really do not wish to intrude our opinion, and yet all the brightest lights o f our profession have been men of strong individualism. *3 The H arvester Trust. A F ire at Sen. Men despised by their fellows as worthless, have sometimes shown In limes o f emergency the attributes o f greatness; and those from whom there has been reason to expect high quali ties, often fail to exhibit them when a great crisis comes. A writer thus de scribes the conduct of men In a panic: “Suddenly the saloon door is flung wide open,” he writes, and a lady rush ed iD, and cried in a faiut agonized voice: “ ‘The ship is on fire.’ “ Then she fell on the'sofa in a dead faint. “ The smoke had already reached us. The staircase was full o f it and the whole place was lit with a dull red glare—the glare o f burning coal. In an instant every one was on deck and the scene of disorder was indescriable, “ One man— a gaunt looking general who in his fright had lost his wits, kept bawling out; ‘ a special messenger must immediately be dispatched to the Emperor. W e dispatched a special messenger to him when the military colonies revolted; and. the lives of several important persons were saved in consequence; I myself was there in person.’ “Another man who had In his flight up stairs grasped an umbrella,—he cer tainly did not know why, and suddenly rushed at a very ugly little oil painting which was among the luggage fastened to an easel. It was a portrait. With the ferule o f the umbrella be punched live holes in the head o f the portrait where had been the eyes, nose and mouth, exclaiming, ‘What’s the use of tins picture now ?’ A huge fat man, looking like a Ger man brewer, wept floods of tears and kept calling out; “ Captain! Captain! Captain!’ Finally that officer grasped him by the coat collar and shouted at him : “ ‘Well, I’m the captain, what do you want with m e?’ “But the fat passenger only sang his monotonous chant the louder. “The captain saved our lives by alter ing our course, and by confining the fire, so that there was no draft, and also by ordering the sailors to draw their cutlasses and cut dow n any one who should seize either o f the life boats. It was curious to notice the involun tary feeling o f respect inspired by the stern impassive sailors [Danes they were] as they stood there with drawn swords in the red glare of the firelight.” The Famous Death V a lley in Color ado to B e E xplored. From The Telegram we learn that Secretary of Agriculture Busk has been sometime engaged in organizing an expedition to. explore the famous Death Yralley in Colorado. This region is a veritable term incognita. The heat there is so intense that dead an imals do not decompose. W ater in the valley is unknown, and the expedi tion w ill ©nrxy water and food for mules and men. It is a question whether the animals will he able to survive the expedition. Tw o o f the chief botanists o f the department are at present working their way into the valley from Southern hi evada, while another expedition is on the march from Southern California. The two expeditions are expected to meet, if nothing goes wrong with them, at a point previously decided upon in the valley. Professor Merriam "will leave In a few days to take charge o f the expedition. There is reason to believe that there are rich gold and silver mines m the region named. A story is told o f an ad venturous miner who some years ago penetrated into the valley and found the skeleton o f a miner. A wooden pail was lying near it, and in it a chunk of gold o f great value. On his return to California he showed his find to a group o f miners. Their cupidity was so excited that, other means fail ing they tortured him to make him confess where he had found the gold, believing that he had discovered a gold mine, the location o f which he would n ot reveal. The scientific men with the expedi tion will map the country and procure the specimens o f such animals and in sects there, if any do exist.

A lady who prided herself on being “animated” once asked her maid: “Mary, how do I look when l am talking?” Mostly as if you was awful mad mum,” was the honest reply. Three gentlemen stood chatting to gether in a railway station, and one chanced to notice two-thirds o f a cigar ette lying at their fe e t “A h,” said he, “ the lady with whom he had an appointment came sooner than he expected.

A t a short dis tance from them stood two boys, one of whom had been intently-watching the group. “Bill,” said he to his friend, “look at them three gents fightin’ over a bit o f cigarette. The big un found it fust, hut the others were on him afore he could grab it.” A R em arkable D o g S tory. John Templeton is a blacksmith w ho owns a fine specimen o f the English mastiff. Becently Mr. Templeton was working at his forge, putting a new steel in a pick. The new steel was slightly burned in the heat ing, and in stead o f welding, flew Inhalf a dozen’ pieces. One piece struck the blacksmith just above the right eye with such force as to fasten it in firmly. The blacksmith staggered and fell backward. H ow long he was unconscious he does not know, hut when he revived the dog lay almost in the middle o f the shop crying almost like a human being, and rubbing his jaws in the dust o f the floor. The piece o f steel that had struck Mr. Templeton lay a short distance from the dog. The faithful brute had seized the hot steel witii Ms teeth and drawn it from the frontal hone o f Mr. Templeton’s head. T h ed og’s mouth was found to be badly burned. “ Y on haven’ t heard anything until you have heard both sides,” says the writer.

The Misses Lora Keigley, Grace Ullrey, Maggie Terry and May Ten Broeck gave deeply interesting decla mations on the subjects, “ Jesus’ love for children” ; “A letter to Jesus” ; “ The stocking o f life” ; “ Getting an ed ucation under difficulties”. Subjects chosen by themselves and well ren clerecl. . Masters Ezra Willis, Murle J. Fisher and Edgar Sweeney, each favored the audience with brief but instructive recitations. The Misses Mira Clark and Genie Buckley volunteered their services in the rendition o f “ The rising tide” and “Found dead,” In a manner so solemn and impressive as" to hold the audience in rapt attention. Mr. Jacob Barnhart gave some ex cellent suggestions in tbe consideration on the question, “H ow to keep children in the Sunday school.” H e thought parents should attend the school andtry to make it attractive. The guilded saloon does this and It draws, too. Miss L eva MaGinnis prepared and read a paper entitled “ The death and burial o f Moses,” which fo r deep bibical research and deductions is seldom excelled.

Miss Adah Murphy’s select reading was well selected, well read, and well receivedand thoughtfully considered by the audience. The subject was “ Reso lutions fo r the new year”. The declamations by the Misses A da Becker and Ltnnle Steiner showed earnest endeavor and careful preparation to entertain and please, and were received with applause. Master Floyd Bowerman’s “Parable for boys” was read with good effect, showing the results of obedience and disobedience. Mr. C. B.

A b o u t 0:30 o’clock last evening as Miss Amanda, daughter o f Joseph Swartz, residing on the old Jewett farm west o f the city, was driving home, and half way across the iron bridge, and While Rey, R. H . F. Gairdner was crossing tbe bridge, the minis ter’s big dog walked out on roadway to bridge, the horse was frightened, turn ed around short and quick, tipped the buggy partly over and Miss Swartz fell out. The horse then whirled around and the wheels o f buggy passed over Miss Swartz, who was so badly injured that she could hardly stand alone, but no bones were broken, and she was only severely bruised all over. — N iles Star, Tuesday. I n d i c t e d -liquor dealers o f this city paid in all yesterday the sum o f §155 at Berrien Springs. The highest for one was §90, then three paid §80 each, one §75 and another 850. One man who was accused o f being an. informer was forcibly ejected from a place last evening, and harsh words were ex changed by several. I t was hearsay that other informers would be harshly dealt with at the proper time. It is not very pleasant to the dealers who have to pay §500 license every year, to give up a nice sum o f money extra, all because they violated the law unknow ingly, beer being obtained by young men who ate supposed to be o f age, because they haye beards and look much older. ’ The liquor dealers in dicted say they have tried to obey the law to the letter, and it is a well-known fact that they close their places promptly and try to live up to the law. —N iles Star.

TIP to Friday, twenty-four o f those who were indieted by the grand jury had called at the captain’s office and paid cos's and fines, amounting to §1535. O f this amount §1S5 was paid by gamblers, §355 by druggists and the balance by saloon keepers. This leaves twenty-seven yet to settle. A s the work of Kompass, Stone & Stall increases they add to their facili ties. A new jig saw was received by them Friday, and will be pnt to work at once. This branch o f their work they have heretofore had done in oth er shops, and there is a considerable amount o f it in their goods. A n attempt is being made to form a stock company to run an agricultural fair in Berrien Springs. A committee o f one in each township is soliciting stock on the basis o f five dollars a share, The fair business in Berrien county has not proven very successful. Perhaps, however, this may be made the happy exception. T w o fire alarms were sounded in this place Friday: Fortunately, however; neither resulted in any great damage. The last was on aceount o f the burning out o f a chimuey in the house occupied by J. C. Dick, on Second street. The Other was a morning call at the W aner house, on Portage street, and was ex tinguished before th e . fire company could reach it, T he committee o f Supervisors who settled with County Treasurer E . B . Storms appended the follow ing com ment to their report : “ Y ou r committee have carefully examined the books and vouchers o f the retiring, county treas urer, Mr. E B. Storms, and find them correct w ithout a single blemish or mistake.” -That is the kind o f officers the Republicans usually elect. W h ile Mrs. Joanna A llen and Mrs. S. T.

Mrs. Allen had her face somewhat bruised, but Mrs* Baker’s face was quite badly cut by the fall. They have not yet been able to discover who the fellows are. Jos. P. A nstiss was forty-four years old last Friday, and about forty o f his friends thought that day would be the proper one to have some fun w ith him, so they assembled at bis home on Port age street that evening and proceeded to enjoy themselves. Joe would prob ably have enjoyed the occasion better i f he had known bis friends contem plated m aking him a call. T h e B ig Six gave an entertainment in Me. Tabor Grange hall, Monday eve ning, and F rock Davis took advantage o f the occasion to get on one o f his spells. H e was arrested. Tuesday morning and sent to jail, to answer to the eb a rgeof assault with intent to kill. H e will probably g o to Jackson this: time. W hile this does n ot quite meet the requirements o f his case it is. better than nothing, and is perhaps the best that can be done w ith him.

B enton H arbor capitalists are fig uring upon the development o f the w aterpow er in the Paw Paw river at that place, w ith a pretty fair certainty o f its success. A s about one-third as much water flows in the Paw Paw river there as flows in the St. Joseph here and the possible rise o f head but little more, it should be an easy matter to appreciate the value o f wbat m ay be had here. Capital there is making every available move to improve that power. W e have many times the rea son fo r developing what is at our door. George H , M urdoch, o f Berrien Springs, has developed into a candidate fo r State oil inspector. This makes only three in this county.

There were only five assessments in the Knights o f the Maccabees last year, so a man rated at One dollar had to pay five dollars fo r §1000 insurance, outside o f the Tent dues and per capita tax. Cutler Tent started out last May with 39 charter members and now has 52, among them some o f the best citi zens o f Buchanan. The order has had only thirty six assessments in the past ten years and now has the largest bene ficiary order in Michigan, numbering 20,000. W m . L . W ilson, Spec. Dep. Gt. Com., and general organizer for Michi gan, was present last evening at the Tent’s meeting and installed the offi cers fo r this year. A case o f highway robbery is re ported from Galien. The story is that Friday, Frank Curtis saw Mrs. Babcock, who lives in the neighborhood o f H ill’s Corners, have some money, placed him self in her road to her home and when she came along demanded her money or her life, securing about §8, which he took to Galien and spent fo r a suit o f clothes. Mrs. B. gave the alarm, Curtis was followed, captured, made to trade his clothes for the money, return it, and was landed in jail, with a chance to explain his actions to the circuit court. I t is a pretty uncertain business to adopt that means o f ob taining money. E lder M. T .

H e is only allowed, to receive sncli visitors as are agreeable to the regents, as the fol lowing instance will show: The Metro politan Michael attempted lately to intrade on the royal presence without hav ing announced his intention t o the re gents. The consequence was that he was not received, and since that time he has not appeared at the kouak. King Alexander w ill come of age on Attg. 8, 1894. He is now going through a course of-military studies, and his present tutor is Col. Miskovie. The Mug is generally present at the ordinary military drills, when he is placed in command of a com pany. He is also in the habit of driving ont to the park o f Castle Toptshider, and on these drives he not infrequently passes his mother’s carnage retum ingto town. The queen drives herself. Her son, in the dress of a colonel, salutes her in mili tary fashion, and the queen in recogni tion waves her hand. A little while ago, when King Milan was driving with his son, the two monarehs chanced to pass the queen, but on perceiving bis exmajesty she turned away her head, and the salute was not returned. King Alexander lain constant correspondence with his father; and writes either m Servian or French. These letters are not altogether without political signifi cance. Queen Nathalie receives a large number of visitors, and; her salons are the resort o f politicians o f all shades and parties. Occasionally she is present at the theatre, where she occupies the court box; but tins only happens when it is known that King Alexander will not at tend the play.—Gatignani’s Messenger.

It has already been adopted by the principal steamship companies of Italy. The unique feature of this new life saving belt is that it may be worn around the body while promenading about the decks during the day, and is not even taken off in bed. It weighs about twice as much as one o f the ordinary canvas or leather belts sold for general use. In its finished state it is about the last thing in the world that a prudent man would place confidence in if he was to attempt to jump for his life from the deck o f a sinking vessel into the sea. But the moment the belt touches the water two chemical substances contained in it are instantly united, and it begins to inflate with gas What these sub stances are is the inventor’s secret.

The entire distance from the pump sta tion to the crib, which rests In forty feet of water in Lake Superior, is 855 feet, and 2,930 feet outside of Miunesota Point. The entire 2,930 feet of lake pipe was jointed above the surface of the water anil hung suspended in spaced slings. The object was to cut the slings and allow the entire section of more than half a mile to drop into the water. It was not intended to attempt the feat for several days, bnt the approach Of a northeaster hastened matters. The job was done hurriedly, but with distin guished success.

The dericelately Mt upon by a mem ber o f the Paris police force for catching a thief was certainly an ingenious one, but’ now that the light fingered fra ternity know of the trap they will prob ably be on their guard in future. A t one o f the large dress warehouses in the Faubourg St. Germain there had been, it appears, for several weeks past a number of "robberies committed, and though tho Strictest watch was kept’by tho inspectors it had been impossible to discover tbo thief. In the majority of cases the unknown shoplifter took away with him elegant and costly mantles ex posed for sale on dummies in the shop, choosing his time for operating so well that his identity remained a mystery. • The police were at length appealed to, and in order to catch the rogue one or two agents were, at the suggestion o f a member of the force, ordered to substi tute themselves for the dummies—or rather, to hide themselves inside their wirework frames. It was not long be fore the plan succeeded. A day or two since, just as a. richly trimmed mantle was being cleverly removed from .the shoulders of a dummy, the individual engaged in the act felt himself grasped tightly by a pair o f strong arms, and held a prisoner. The shoplifter’s fright at finding the dummy to be, so to say, inhabited, was so great that it deprived him of speech and action, and he made no attempt to escape from the constable’s grip or to explain away his conduct.

Another popular manifestation of Frenchmen in favor of Russia took place, recently in the Brest theatre, where sev eral French officers and the commanderand a lieutenant of the Russian battle ship Minin Were watching the perform ance from a box. A t the request o f a French ca-ptain the orchestra began play ing the Russian national hymn at the end of the first act.

A H u ge D evilfish, Sunday while a little boy was wan dering on the beach at Island Cove he was startled by seeing a large and strange looking object approaching' the landwash, The little fellow raced home, stating that somettengcame after him out of- the water. This was suffioient to attract older persons to the beach, where they found a huge squid or cuttlefish high and dry. Its extreme length was thirty-two feet, the tentacles alone meas uring twenty-one feet. The body was much larger than that of an ordinary horse, and the pelt three inches in tMckness. It was cut up before being re moved. W e believe that tMs is the third cuttlefish wMcli has come to grief in this manner in this bay witMn the last few years, one having become strand ed in Smith’s sound, and another was similarly unfortunate near Catalina.— Trinity (N.

The back o f the window is cov ered with a strip o f canvas painted to represent a grand stand filled with peo ple, and the floor o f the window is spread with green stuff to represent grass. The players are dolls dressed in the appropri ate costumes and colors of the players, and a lo t of them are massed on top of a small football in the center of the field. The names of the players and their po sitions are posted at the side, with the ftunouneement tliat these two teams have been engaged to play an exliibition game for the delectation of tlio employes of the firm malting the display. It would be interesting to hear Capt. Poe and Halfback McClung’s remarks if they heard they were advertised to play before tlie cutters and basters of a Bow ery clothing store.—New York Evening Sun. While walking along the new elevated tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad, as a train passed over it at a fair rate of speed, the steel work gave forth a dis tinct musical sound, as though a great violoncello were stretched from Hender son to Monmouth streets. There was no tremble or jar, or click at the rail joints. Indeed, the sound did not come from the rails, bnt from tbo steel girders and pil lars, and continued until the locomotive had struck the solid ground six blocks above. Tlie sound Is an octave above the deep bass of Niagara falls. With a long vestibule train tlie effect will be startling. I venture to predict that the dwellers along the line will not complain of the noise of the passing trains, for, though somewhat loud, it is yet harmoniously innsieal. Hence it will not disturb anybody.—Philadelphia Bulletin. v>\. - T h e Centaub Company, 77 Murray Street, N. Y . CHRONIC DISEASES 25 A SPECIALTY FOB Y E A B S .

A mammoth elm tree, set out by Na thaniel Bassett, in Lee, in 1782, was cut down yesterday. A fence post was found mortised into it, and the number of rings from the outside of the trunk into the post showed that it had been imbedded therein for fifty years.—Newburyport News.

T h e O m n ip oten ce o f th e S p oils System . From the second election of Jackson, in 1832, down to the present time the doctrine that “ public office is a party prize” has been the controling factor in tlie administration o f the national government. The limited and imper fectly executed civil service act, so far as its effect on the great body of the common people is concerned, consti tutes no exception. Every boy o f 15 who hurrahed because his father voted for Jackson in •1832 had, if alive at the election in 1888, passed the age of threescore and ten. Every voter who east a ballot in 1832 and lived to east one in 1888 was then 77 or more years old. Even among this little band of aged men the administration of govern ment upon any other plan was but a dim reminiscence o f boyh’ood. Prac tically they were in the same condition as their younger fellow citizens. The people o f tlie United States; then, have no practical knowledge' of any other method of administering government. The spoils'system is like one of those custom s.wMcli the- com mon law declares equivalent to a stat ute, “ a custom so old that-the memory o f man runneth not to the contrary:’! It is a part o f the unwritten law, an unexpressed but understood provision o f the constitution.
