' One of the most remarkable peculiarities of the lower organisms," as exhibited in seeds and other vegetable bodies, is the fact that they are capable of withstanding desiccation for very considerable periods without losing capacity'for'germination and development. The vitalized crystalloids and colloids which possess the power of assimilation ani metabolism appear capable of having.all uncombined water removed by evaporation without undergoing molecular disruption by the loss of their combined' water.. They appear to retain the combined water much as crystals retain water of crystallization. If the ordinary drying of seeds, corms, rhizomes, and bulbs does not destroy the integrity of their protoplasm or alter the availability of their stored-up albumen, starch or sugar, it would appaftr that they> should retain all their nutritive value, and that the same should hold true of most, if not all; vegetables used for food by man as well as it does for forage crops preserved by drying. _ , .Tit, is curious that the desiccation of culinary vegetables should be so much neglected, nowadays in view of the universal use of dried fruits from prehistoric times and the practice of dry- iag such vegetables as the pumpkin, in vogue among early New Engenders, in evidence of which the shiny pumpkin poles are still _ to be seen hanging on hooks in the ceiling in front of the fireplace of many an old homestead. Experiments made if Germany, and more recently in California, have demonstrated that desiccated vegetables suffer no loss of nutriment, and that they remain savory and wholesome. Here is a splendid opportunity for the utilization and conservation of po-' tatoes, beets, parsnips, cabbage and the like at the season of their greatest abundance and in years of overproduction, whereby .there may be added to the regular supply a line of familiar food concentrated so as to��� admit of economic transportation for army rations and for those who. cannot afford such fresh vegetables out of season. While it may not pay to can such vegetables as we have mentioned, it would be a boon to many if they were put on the market dried. Do not try to make a specialty of wool and mutton at the same time. The best muton breeds are not the kind of sheep for producing the; choice graded of wool.r The size of tlie sheep does not affect its production of wool.

The .dairy sire# must have within him the same and indeed more dairy prepotency than the cow, or else he is a , costly failure. ' Dairy prepotency and beef prc- potency# are qualities which move in diametrically opposite directions.' No man ever developed dairy qualities in the coming offspring by breeding, to strong beef heredity, nor vice versa. Yet, there is not a so-called dual-purpose Shorthorn or Red ''Poll bull in 'existence which does not show clear ��nd unmistakable beef heredity ,in both Form and pedigree. If he begets a jood milker she is a sport, and in four pases out of five as a rule she will not in turn produce profitable milkers., But even if the cow would breed towards daixy quality, if well mated, _ ivherewill we go to find a| dual-pur-' pose sire with sufficient dairy heredity n him to reinforce the desired tendency >n the,cow? ^Looked at either as a matter of breeding science or for pro- Stable dairy results, the breeding, for; dual-purpose is, .we believe, a myth, which no well posted dairy farmer 'can ifford to indulge in, for- reasons that tie can spend his money and time to' much larger purpose and profit.

So many complaints come to me about young chicks dying from some mysterious cause that I take this opportunity to give my method of feeding and caring for them, as I have had 30 years' experience in poultry raising. While my method may not suit all, I have been very successful with it myself. I have fed all kinds of feed in as many forms and ways as I could invent, and found that it is absolutely necessary that you feed the food in ai) near a naluinl slate as possible. Don't feed too much, for if you do it will become sour anil foul from the chicks tramping on it, and if they are fed bour food they will get indigestion; which as only a Iiuie longer road to dcatn. i believe that indigestion kills more chicks than any oilier cause, or at least this li;..-, been my experience. The causes arc t'l.iny lhat bung on indiges- l.on, an ! ... .mot be explained 111 tlie eonliiio 11 this article, for what is the canse v., 11 one is not the cause with aiiuiiii'i Rich food fed too soon after ah l'Ij it.un; sour quarters; too much lo'i.i and not enough giit; not enough pure water before them all the time; ciaik, damp tbroodcrs or pens will kill the ruggcclcst chicks. I have had women tell me the pasl season that they lost from 150 to 50c young chicks, and ask me the reason why. Frpm all I could gather from their rcnj&rks, I conclude the trouble was indigestion. Il requires constant watchfulness 'to raise chicks and make them profitable. I have found that lo mix the different grains and seeds makes the ideal food for both chicks and fowl. The larger grains, such as corn, wheat, buckwheat, etc., must he ground coarse and then mixed with the finer grains and seeds for young chicks. If chicks are kept warm and dry, fed Some Dual-Purpose' Facts. , The foundation objection to the dual- purpose idea for dairy purposes is that such cattle are not prepotent, in tlie transmission of dairy capacity to their progeny. The instances of, such cows as are so often cited to us as convincing proof of the,soundness of the idea,, are, in .fact, no proof at all that it is a practicable thing to breed such cattle to a profitable average from the dairy standpoint. Mr.'1 Frank D. Ward of Batavia, N. Y., is writing some very instructive * articles to tl% Tribune Farmer on "Types in Breeding." We take the following extract from the issue of April 16 to show his'experience in this desire to secure a.cow that shall bring the largest profit both for milk and beef and still breed true to such mixed purpose. Mr. Ward says: "But how does the general or dual- purpose animal'compare with those bred for a special purpose, and which will return the greatest profit during their life on the farm? I well remember some animals I owned whose merit Impressed met forcibly. One of them was a ,pure bred Shorthorn cow, Hope VI., which was bred on the farm, and was kept there until she was sold at about ten years of age. She was one Df the most perfect types of a beef :ow we ever owned, weighing over sixteen hundred pounds, low down and broad, with a back like a table, and at the same time she was a most extraordinary milker. Some 1'dea of her merit as a beef cow may be gained from the fact that she won first prize is aged cow in the Shorthorn class at Dne of the largest fairs in the state, fe^k jffiffiiffii md at the same fair the next day she ^ZJJ&ri^TBi won sweepstakes prize as best dairy '- ��� ������- tow of any age or breed, in both instances having a large class of competitors. But Hope VI. never bred a calf that was even an ordinary milker; and as to her dairy qualities, she was simply a "sport," without any power Df reproducing the dairy qualities she Dossessed. In the spVing of 1873 I bought two heifers which were typical specimens of dual-purpose cows; they were high grade Shorthorns, and were the choice from two good herds in Livingston county. I have owned a ?ood many cows, and some good ones, but I never owned two cows that would give as many pounds of milk or butter in a year as they did. They were in my herd eleven years, but during that time I was able to breed only one neifer from either of those cows that was even up to the average as a milk cow, but that was one of the very best cows I ever owned, and she was sired by a pure Shorthorn bull. "She was kept in my herd until she failed to breed at sixteen years old. but she never bred a calf that was of my value in the dairy. If I am asked It Is estimated that there are 30,000 to explain as to these cows, I must J pupils la the agricultural schools of the say they were other instances of i United States, "sports"���cows in which abnormal In Kansas the state banks along contain 123,042,878 in deposits. , .Brazil will exhibit 500 varieties of" serpents at the Paris display in 1900. , It ls estimated that there are 30,000 pupils In the agricultural schools ot tha United Stateo. * - For !the first time In a.decade every board oi^be Presbyterian shiirch.- begins the fiscal year without debt.' At Bunder Abbas, Eussla has long desired to establish a naval station. Britain says she must not. Prance in 1899 obtained a concession for a naval station near Muscat, but Britain vetoed that.

Such an attempt, In the words ot the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Foreign Secretary, would be regarded "as a very ffrave menace to British interests, and we would certainly resist It with all the means at our disposal."

'And-he bowed to the jury and the coroner and withdrew from the witness- , box in his turn. The next witness was Mrs. Wharles, who had been seen letting the deceased man out of the doctor's house, and talking to him in the little porch. The lady was very nervous, but very dignified, and ehe gave her evidence clearly, though with a not unbecoming shyness struggling with her dignity. "I believe you had some conversation with the deceased as he left your husband's house, Mrs.1 Wharles?" said the eoroner.

It was with difficulty which, in the interest of one of my kinswomen, I feel I ought to make." Everyone looked round in surprise. The doctor went on: "I know this is an irregularity, but I must mention that, in speaking of Sir 'Astley's late wife, you were in error. *Mis. Wharles's sister .Charlotte, who married Sir Astley, is olive." i There was a sort of gasp audible throughout tho building. Astley leapt from his seat, with hnggaid eyes and nuy in his face.

His uplifted arm diopped to his side Tn faee of all men/as lie'looked down ex ���ier pleading eyes, a tear stole down the unhappy-man's check. CHAPTER XIX. Dr. Wharles had made a mistake. lie know it in a moment, as he looked round him, with quick, observant eye, and noted that every face was full of pity for the unhappy,man,who, with the tender woman's hands clinging about him, vwas low the center of interest and compas iion to everyone in court. There were, on the other hand, angn .jlanccs cast at Dr. Whailes and his wife .ind unpleasant remaiks were muttered itt his hearing by some of the .sturdj Lancashire men. The doctor was moi\ lopular .among the women of tihe neigh borhood than he was with their husband- md brothers, and his own conduct wa' lot so impeccable that he could afford vibh impunity, to diaw attention to thf mistakes of others. There was a fine ringing sound, of course, in his challenge on behalf of an injured woman, as his protest purported to he. But Lottie Darwen;- though not well known 'in the neighborhood oi Blackdale, had not been altogether un known" there; and there - were jpeoph .-.resent in court, who remembered the lighty, beauty.. Who had tried so hard while staying at the house of her broth ���*r-in-law, to marry Sir Hugh Darwen ind had then succeeded in marrying hi- .ousin Astley. Tha feelings of most of the witnesse >i this painlul scene were voiced by nr ess a1" person than Lord Wyersdale, r attle bent old gentleman, very dignifies .n spite of his low stature, who tapped -he ebullient doctor smartly on the shoul der, and said, not loudly, but with cut ting emphasis: "You ought to he ashamed of yourself ltd., already managed to fasten on the roung baronet's shoulders, he had also mdouhtedly alienated the earl and oth- m of his most important patients; and ��ia wife, when they were driving home together, did not scruple to tell him so. ., A sharp "Hold your tongue!" uttered ii a tone which she knew and perforce 'espected, reduced Mrs. Wharles to si- ence. Meanwhile the inquest had been Wrought to an end for the time being by ��n adjournment, which on many accounts appeared desirable. Norma slipped away eut of "the court ollkile the party from The Hall were wwwdlng round Aetley, leading Urn with sympathy and Imndneee. Lady Mytanwy insisted upon his corn- ins .home with them; and Astley, not Mrry to put off the lonely return to the gaunt halls ^.nd echoing dreariness - of The Haigh, accepted the invitation. It was on the following day, early in the afternoon, that Norma, who kept indoors for fear of meeting Astley, and, with a view to"kecping a watch on the Raggetta' cottage, saw two smiling faces fct the gate, and recognized, ��� with tears in her own eyes at tho sight, two visilois from The Hall,-in the.persons of,iSadio Brown and "Jack" Scorton. ' She opened the door to them herself; but they would not (M?me in; she must come out with them, they said. , "Poor child! - She's been, cry ing!" shid Sadie, with a caressing gesture. "No, she hasn't," said Norma. "At lea,st, she hadn't till she saw you." '"What! Don't say ' tho sight of us .. , . ,,~ , .... , .. , Seo what distress you have brought upon that Astley, who was sitting besidei her, Lad Darwen aJ her husbandf^J^ very white but calm and collected, man- bot�� rf ^^ m b(J bound!��� aged to force her down into her seat again. An indescribable sensation of horror and suspense was gaming ground in the eourt. Mrs. Wharles was the only person who appeared to be unaffected by it. There was a. little pause when she had ceased speaking; and the coroner, with a hasty glance at the other lady, waved Mrs. you i. Wharles aside with a quick: "Thank , tWnk you. That will do." The doctor's wife sailed to her seat, and was tenderly soothed by her husband after the oideal she ''had gone through. And, amid a state of extreme tension, and a silence in which the 'scratch of a mouse would have been heard, Astley rose up and went into the witness-box. The feeling of everyone in court underwent a change when this unhappy gentleman, worn and weak from wounds and Illness, with the interest of a whispered - romance about him, stood ,up and faced his questioners. He was not bold or -fluent, like the doctor: he was not hesitating and inaudible, like the ladies. He was just a man pu��-sued by ill-fortune, making a -dogged British stand against it, and showing as little sign as might be of the feelings within. Sympathy and respect, as well as 'intense interest, were excited by his look, bis bearing, his simple, soldierly speech. "You knew the deceased1, I understand, Sir Astley?" asked the coroner,' with an indescribable change in! his tone to sympathetic deference. "No. I never saw him alive. But I fcnew of him. And I expected to see him. t was anxious to do so." "May I ask���excuse me for putting the question bluntly���may I ask if there waa any ill-feeling between you and this man?" "There was none���on my side certainly. If I had met him earlier there might Gave been: but actually there was none." Dead pause for a moment. "It is a very painful thing to have to oak, Sir Astley," went on the coroner, in- otinctively lowering his voice, "bu7; it has been said that the deceased was an early admirer of your lato wife���'' Astley bowed' his head in assent. "And that you were'certainly, at one time, violently and naturally resentful ��n that account," added the coroner quickly. "I may take it that it is not true te assert, as has been assorted, that rou still harbored resentment against this man?" "It���is���not���true," said Astley slowly. And as he spoke, he reeled slightly. "Is that all?" he asked. "That is all, thn nk you. I am sorry���" Astley had already left the box. As ho did so, Dr. Wharles stood up in his place, "Pardon mo one moment, Mr. Coroner," said he, in the ringing voice that carried his words to the farthest end of There was a murmur of sympathy and assent among the bystanders, and the florid doctor grew redder still. It took him, however, only a few moments to re cover himself. He always knew how wit n clear, sonorous voice and burly, impos ing figure, to make himself the central figure of any picture. With a depreoa tory wave of the hand, and an apolo getic glance at the coroner, whom everybody else had forgotten in 'the excitement of this episode, he said: "Pardon me, your lordship. I have to apologize to Mr. Coroner for my intei- ruption, and to Sir Astley and this lady for my impulsive words. But I was carried away by my feelings; I could not but say a word on behalf of an unhappy lady .who is not here to take her own part, and'who, whatever her foibles may be, does not deserve to be left to starve." The sensation produced hy these last words, to which' the doctor gave an impressive ring, exceeded anything that had boea experienced in the court during that eventful morning. Although there 'was a large section among the hearers who sympathized still with Sir Astley and the unhappy lady who held the position of his wife, there was not, of course, wanting another section who sided no less vehemently with the doctor, and applauded his boldness In daring to stand up for the absent woman in defiance of the two great men o,f the neighborhood,' the Earl and Sir Ast- tey Darwen. Lord Wyersdale, amid an indescribable ionfusion of tongues���tho coroner de- Blaring that he would elear the court, tho ushers crying "Silence," the people arguing and murmuring���again toblc up the sudgels on behalf of Astley. "If Sir Astley Darwen,'* said ho, his thin, old man's voice making itself heard nearly as well as the doctor's more resonant tones, "has really left to starve myone who bears his name, that* person has certainly forfeited every right to beartit." Astley, Who had been with diificulty restrained, by Norma and other friends, [ram making a rush at the doctor, now ipdke. "Thank you; Lord Wyersdale," he said. 'You do me no more than justice. The itory which Dr. Wharles has thought proper to drag to light in this public nanner is too pitiful for such discussion, t will only say that I would never allow inyono who had borne my name, rightfully or "wrongfully, to be in want. And if Dr. Wharles or any other man asserts !he contraiy, he lies." Again Miore was a moment's dead si- 'ence, vfiale Astley, with flashing eyes ind firmly' compressed lips, shot a glance it the doctor which was a challenge. That gentleman, however, felt'that he lad gone far enough, if not too far; for, f he had brought pain and some amount >f public disgrace upon Astley, in audi the court. "But there is a correction -ion ito the load of suspicion which he made you miserable! "^Miserable! Oh, no, just the reverse. I was glad, 'delighted, to see your kind, bright faces." ��� i ' ,!There, Jack! isn't she nice?", said Sadie, turning with a smile toher young companion, who seemed rather nervous, and who blushed more than Norma had previously seen him do. "Of course She's nice," said Jack la-, conically. "Now put on your hat, there's a dear, sgood' creature, and come out with us. We've got something to say to you; at least, one of us has," said Sadie, with an air of importance. <' ��� _ Norma did as she was told, and was soon walking up the lane between her two companions, who seemed ' over- wiiclmed-by^some fact or secret which they appealed to hesitate to divulge. "You begfn, Sadie," said Jack at last, leaning forward to thiow a mysterious glance across 'the intcivening Norma at the face of the bright American girl. -. "Well, then, you must know that Jack has something very important to say to you, and that he wants me to open the matter for him," began Sadie gravely. "I'm to tell you that what he is going to say is 'serious, and is ihe result of car- nest thought, and that he hopes you won't treat it frivolously because^ he happens to bo rather young." "I'm,not so very young," put in Jack with irritation. "I shall be nineteen in, a week or two, which is, I fancy, 'about the age of���of you, too, isn't it?" "I'm nineteen,"said Norma, wondering what was coming next. "Well, then, now ,1 think I've said enough^ and you can speak for yourself, Jack," said Sadie, as she suddenly turned and left the two together. 'Norma turned round, too. "What docs she mean?" asked she in amazement. "Miss Brown���"��� , But1 Sadie walked on quickly, and Jack put a detaining hand on Norma's arm. "Never mind her for a minute," said he earnestly. "It was all arrangedi between us that she should go away like that. She's a real good sort, Sadie, and a dear girl. They wanted me to marry her, you know, because she's ever so rich; but we didn't take to each other, at least not. in that way. And so we made a compact to help each other in other ways." Norma began to smile. "You seem very good friends," said she. "Oh, we are," said Jack. "Look at the way she's helped me this morning! I shouldn't have liked to come here by myself; I should have been afraid you'd send down a message that you couldn't see anybody," he went on, his bright face glowing with such sympathy and shy kindness that the ready tears sprang again-to her eyes as she looked at him. "There, don't cry! Oh, don't, don't! I was there yesterday, you know. Sadie and I both were, and she had to hold me down when that beastly cad Wharles said what he did! It was a shame, an infernal, awful Bhame, and this morning I met him in the street and told him what I thought of him. I did really: you ask .Sadie!" Norma felt, divided between an inclination to laugh and an inclination to cry. 'fYou shouldn't do that," said she. "It doesn't do any good, you know."-* "It does do good to let him see what gentlemen think of a man who tells lies!" retorted Jack robustly. "But anyhow, that's not what I came here to tell you. You won't mind my speaking to you? You won't think I'm impertinent, or���" ' "Indeed I know you couldn't he that." "Well, then, I'll tell you what is the greatest wish of my heart. Sadie knows, and she thinks my idea splendid. I do hope you will too." -%hat idea?" "Well,* it's this. It's horrid for you and for Sir Astley, too, to be in this plight through this horrible Wharles woman's sister." "Oh, don't talk about it, please." "I won't, I won't more than I can help. Look here, I've thought of a way out of it. I know Sir Astley's a good fellow, and a nice fellow, and 1 know you're fond of each other. But what's the use of that, if there's another woman in the way? Now what I propose is that you should��marry me���" "Marry .you!" echoed Norma aghast. "Yeo, yen'," said he earnestly. "I know ��s sudden, this idea of mine, hut it's a good one, isn't it?" "A g���good one!" stammered Norma. "Yes. Then you could snap your fingers at 'tliem all, and show them that there was a rush for you, don't you see? And Sir Aattey, well, poor fellow, I'm awfully sorry for him. Still, it will be betiter for him to know you're provided for, won't it? I'm sure he'd rather. And then, if ever tkis woman dice*, h�� ea^ Biarry Myianwy, you know. She's awfully sweet on him, she really is." "Wiry, you take my breath away," said Norma, still uncertain whether to smile or to cry; for in contrast with tho wildness of the lad's suggestion, there was an earnestness, a breezy, enthusiastic sincerity in his manner which warned her that she must not hurt his foelings 'by any appearance of treating his offer flghtly. "Don't you know, don't you understand," she said gently, "that I love Astley, that I married him, as he mar- fled me, believing'him to be free; and that'I can't look upon myself as anything but his wife now?" -' "Well then, why don't you go hack and live at The Haigh?" said Jack with youthful straightforwardness. "Why out because you feel you can't as long us cms woman's alive? Oh, I know the feeling!" he added with confidential sympathy. "You feel that you're his wife in the sight of heaven. But what's the use of being* his wife in the sight of heaven, as long as you can't be in the'sight of earth?" < ' At that hi tint putting of the case Not- ma felt her inclination to laugh get the better of her wish to cry, and she smiled. "Look here," she said gently, "it's.of no use to argue the matter with me. I'm *r wo"in, you know, and must have my ywn way. I thank you more than I can say for you* kindness, and it makes me "feel happier <b know that there are such nice people'ln the world as you and that dear girl over there. But I couldn't think of���of such a thing, I couldn't really. It's absurd, you know. For Astley is my husband���oh yes, he is. And nothing could alter that feeling of mine, even if it's a feeling only, and not a fact." ' "Well, I think it's a great pity you won't listen to reason, and Sadie will think so, too," said he soberly,oand with a most thoughtful expression of face. "But remember this; if you change your mind you've, only got to hold up your finger, and I'll fly to you like a bird. I Bhould love to! You'll remember that, won't you?" '"Oh, ye3,, I'll rememberl that," said _ Norma, her face wreathing in smiles in ' spite of herself. "And now let's go and run after Miss Brown., I'm sure she'll be miserable at being so long away from you." As Jack accompanied her, with a very grave faee, he said suddenly: "It isn't because I'm so young,'is it? That wouldn't be fair, you know, because you're nearly as young yourself!" Norma assured him that that had nothing whatever to do with it, and then they came up with Sadie, at whom Jack shook his head woefully. "She wouldn't hear of it, of course!" cried the American at once. "I told you so, Jack, didn't I?" /'It's nothing to boast about," said he sulkily. "And ladies generally say 'no' the first time. ^1 sha'n't lose heait." Sadie began to laugh, but Noima broke in quite gravely: > ^ - "It's beautiful to have such friends as you both. It makes me feel much happier." " *"'' And then they both hastened to. glue themselves to her, one on one ���Bide, aiid one on the other, and to say cheering and comforting things to her out of the kinAsess of their hearts, both talking at oncc( for the most part, in a veiy cheering and cheerful manner."' They came to see her again and again in the course of'the next few1 days, during which Norma lived quietly at the cottage and kept carefully out of Astley's way. Whether be knew of her whereabouts or not she was not sure, until one day she saw him walking slowly down- tho lane and glancing up wistfully at her window. Her heart leapt up. She wanted-to go out to him, hut'she struggled with herself, feeling that it was best for hoth that they" should for the present remain altogether apart. '��� And then T>he very thing happened, in her sight, before her eyes, that she had been constantly dreading: Dr. Wharles drove up, on one of his so frequent visits ,to Raggett's cottage, and he and Astley came face to facet Norma saw from her window that tho two men - exchanged a few fierce -.words; a taunt from the doctor, no doubt intended as a provocation, began it; it was followed by a sharp retort from Astley. Fearing that the latter would not be able to keep his temper, Norma rushed out , into the lane, and was by Astley's side, holding his arm, before the exchange of another word between the men. ' He was so much astonished, moved, overwhelmed, by the -unexpected appearance of the woman he loved, that at once he allowed himself to he drawn a step or *two back. And the doctor, thinking discretion desirable, went on into the cottage. Norma kept her hold on Astley's ana, and led him away down the lane. ' "Where did you spring from?" asked Astley, who was flushed and delighted at this meeting. "Oh, the cottage where I'm staying." "I know. I've kept religiously away until this morning, when I thought I deserved a peep at you, and came along here on the chance." "Well, now I want you to take my advice, and I should like a promise thai you will to begin with." "Well?" "I want y*U to leave the) Haigh for a little while. It's bad to risk these meetings'with thai man." x *'I believe you're right. But I don't want to go away and leave you here." < "I'm* not goisg to stay here long. I've got something to find out before I go." "You won't tell mc what it is?" "I'd rather not. I may he quite wrong, you see, and then I should only raise false hopes." "What io that fellow doing at Raggett's cottage?" "How should I know? Somebody ill fciere, I suppose." them. It seems she has run into deflw. ; So I've sent her five hundred pounds to clear that off, and I'm going to allow her , five hundred a year. X, couldn't be expected to do more than that, could I?" "Certainly not," said Norma thoughtfully. "Is she still ill?" i - , "They say so." ' They were standing under, the wall andr the overhanging and still leafless , Vanches. ^ ' "Good-bye," said Norma softly/ (.' Astley hesitated. Looking benind him, he saw that they were out of sight^ of the cottages. 1 "You'llikiss D^e. won't you?" said he. 35 She flung herself into his arms. "Good-bye, good-bje, God bless you and keep you safe!" whispeied she biok- enly. A' minute later ho was hurrying, back through the plantation; and slie, with her eyes still dim, was leturning to the cottage. ���>��� i > On the following day Norma knew that Astley had left The.

STORY OF THE MURDERS AT BELGRADE. Struggle. in the Dark���Conspirators Unsuccessful at the Beginning��� 1 Compelled a Servant to Lead I Them to the King and Queen. r- X \4 J ���>' I'*, 4 ,Bclgrade, June 13.���The following is ' a narrative of the Servian revolution % given, by men who took an active part in it:���Army officers to the'number of ninety having formed a project of ft revolt, among I hem being delegates Ironi almost every garrison in Scrvia nnd the majority of the officers of the 6lh Regiment, Lieutenant-Colonel Mis- eliicli invited his comrades on Wednesday evening at n o'clock to meet in .* the lialimmgdcn garden, and there, the immediate carrying out of,,lhc intended deed was organized. At r.4o"a.ni. the officers in the eight groups went to the' Konak, the royal palace. Each had a cue and especial instructions regarding his part in the revolution. Jin the Konak Palace the revolutionaries had two important partisans in the King's body guard���Col. ��� Maschin, Queen Draga's cousin (not her brother-in-law,'as previously stated), and the King's personal adjutant, ,-lLietit. Naumovics. The two officers of the high military academy appealed at the appointed hour, at 2 a.m., at the gate'of the Konak, where the King's adjutant, Panajotovitch, who ' ,was in the conspiracy, handed them the keys to the garden gate, which is always kept locked. First stepping'be- ifore the, guard,at the Konak, one of ',the two'officers called: "Throw down your armsl" - ,* A fight-.ensued, with shooting on both sides, in* which several persons .were wounded.. The revolutionaries then entered the front garden without hindrance and reached the courtyard of old.Konak, where Lieut. Naumovics was awaiting. He opened the ' lock of the iron door, leading to the front room on the first floor. By this it was seen that the Konak was carefully closed and that danger was sus-' pected. .Hurrying upstairs (o the first floor, the. revolting officers, attracted the attention of the palace attendants and the royal couple by the noise of shooting. .Lieut. Petrovitch, alarmed by'the unwanted hubbub, hurried forward, a drawa revolver in one hand and in the L other a' sword. "What do you want ?" he cried. < ^ "Show us where the King and ..the Queen are," came the reply. ' ' "Back,", cried Petrovitch. and at the same moment a ball stretched him *on .the ground. The revolutionaries pressed forward, when suddenly the electric Jight went out. All stood in darkness. In the greatest excitement, and feeling their way, the revolutionaries .climbed the stairs and got into the ��� dark ante-room to the King's apart- >ment. - Here they found candles and lit -them. This seemingly slight circum- ��� stance was decisive to the whole ac- :iion. Without light they could not .'have found the victims, who fled from ���their sleeping apartment through corri- ��� dors and numerous rooms, and might ,2iavc'escaped; but part of the offi- .cers, with burning candles, and others with pistols, commenced to search for ;the royal couple. In breathless haste .the conspirators ran through the irooms, opened wardrobes, and looked behind curtains, but in vain. In the -ante-room connecting the corridor between the old and new Konak, the sergeant of the gendarmes was sleeping. Awakening, he stepped before the revolutionaries, who felled him. At last Queen Draga's servant was 'found. -He wounded Captain Dimmi- ���trevic severely, but was spared, because he was needed in finding the fleeing couple- Indeed, this servant showed the officers where King Alexander .and Queen Draga had gone to conceal themselves. When he had told this he was shot. Col. Maschin now? joined the revolutionists and led them back to the sleeping apartment, where fthe Ktngfs adjutant tried to hinder the search. He shot at Lieut. Naumovics, who fell dead. The other killed the adjutant. After a long search, a small door leading into an alcove was discovered, but was found locked. It was broken in with an axe, and here the royal couple were found in undress. The older officers first intended forcing the King to abdicate, but the young officers were in no mood to hold back, and shot at the royal couple. Nobody knows, in the excitement, who fired the first shot, but it is generally said it was Lieut. Kis��ic.\ After the murder King Alexander's body was found entirely covered with blood, while that of Queen Draga was absolutely torn by bullets. The report that the bodies were thrown out of a window into the garden is un- irue. The young officers intended to do so, but Colonel Maschin prevented it, exclaimed, "That would be barbarous." All the servants of the royal :oup!e fled when the first shots were heard, with the exception of Queen Draga's servant, who was found dead. At twelve minutes past 2 all was over. Colonel Maschin issued from the gate of the Konak, around which great crowds had collected, and made . a speech, saying : "We have now destroyed the dynasty of the Ubreno- witchs and have got rid of the dis- honqrable woman who was the Kings evil "spirit. Long live Servia." ' # The people responded : "Long live the army." Almost simultaneously with the butchery in the palace, die troops-endeav ored to arrest ah the relatives of the Queen and those Ministers whom the conspirators disliked. Two brothers of the Queen, Lieut.-Cols. Nikola and Nikodern Lunjcvics, were speedily'seized and escorted by' a detachment of troops from their dwelling to the guard room of the divisional commander. They were evidently' not suspicious of their doom, and were lighting cigarettes when they were shot dead _ by eight soldiers. Premier Markovics, Gen. 'Pavlovitc, Minister of War, and M. Todorovics, Minister of, the Interior, were all, as they attempted to de- ,ferid themselves from arrest, shot by ne'froops." The two former were Rilled and tiie last named is just alive tonight. The autopsy held has proved that the ,latc King received thirty shot wounds, many of them deadly. Queen Draga had numerous shot and sabre wounds, and it is alleged thai her body was torn in a barbaric fashion. The appearance of the royal apartments is indescribable. , The doors and floors are shattered, and the ruins drenched with blood. Shortly after midnight the bodies.of lhe dead King and Queen .were carried to their last resting-place. It was a pitiful sight. Al! day long the victims were reposing in rough coffins, and had Iain exposed to the gaze of those who had killed them and to the privileged of the curious. There were unpleasant evidences of the public sentiment against the late royal couple. _ Some , persons even spat on the remains. The' sisters and nieces of the late Queen, who had been arrested by the military authorities, were expelled from the country. WAITERS ON STRIKE. , . �� ��� . Hotel Employees of Chicago Are . Oout. Chicago, June 13. ��� Union employees in ten of the large hotels have, struck. Approximately 2,000 men, chiefly waiters and cooks, arc out, chiefly for higher pay. The large family hotels are the principal sufferers. 'At the Sherman. House 380 men walked out, completely liemg up tlie dining-room and bar service. Among the other establishments affected, most 'of which will make an effort to continue, with 'the aid of their guests, are: The Windermere, Hyde Park,Met- ropolot Delprado, Vendome, Kenwood and Lakota. While the union meeting "/as going on ,last night the Restaurant-keepers' Association, an' organization distinct from the. Ho- telkeepers' Association, was holding a stormy meeting, and after midnight G. W. Walton, President of the association, ,was deposed from the chair and expelled from the organization after being openly accused of acting as a mediator between labor leaders and restaurant owners with a proposition to settle the strike' for $7,000. ' , ��� . - \ J - ��� " RUSSIA SCORES A POINT. Gains Practical Freedom From Chinese Custom. Pckin, June 13.���The question of the establishment of Chinese customs offices at Dalny and on the Russian frontier, of the leased territory, is practically settled. It is an important matter, because in the absence of customs stations China has been losing considerable revenue directly by the admission of dutiable goods through leased territory into Manchuria, duty irec, and indirectly by the injury done to Ncwchwang by this differential treatment. Russia had the right, under the Manchuria railway convention of 1898, to appoint a customs officer, reporting direct to1 the Pekin Government, and uncontrolled by the maritime customs, and had nominated Protasief, the ex- Finance Secretary of Port Arthur, in that capacity. She now consents t�� adopt tlie German Kiaochau system, under which the commissioner is always a German, appointed by Sir Robert Hart, and approved by the Germans. All the staff, however, though Germans, are controlled by the maritime customs. ' While granting the shadow, however, Russia retains the substance, for she nominates the commissioner, Pro- tasieff, above mentioned. Moreover, his staff will be Russians, and, though they will all nominally be controlled by the maritime'customs, the revenues will be paid into the Russo-Chinese Bany, which, except at Newchwang, enjoys a monopoly of the foreign banking of Manchuri.i.

THE VAST GRAIN EIELDS OF t 1 MANITOBA. - Nearly Four Million Acres Under Crop���Solving the Farm Help Problem���Crop Conditions Never Better. Winnipeg, June 15.���The, rapid expansion of western Canada is mirror- id in ,thc crop bulletin issued by the Department of Agriculture of Mani- .oba. It shows an immense increase n acreage, satisfactory growth of the iairying industry and greater interest in mixed farming on the part of :he western agriculturists. This'year ���here' arc ,3.757,173 'icrcs under crop is compared with 2,039,940 last year; af this 2,442,873 acres' are under wheat, is'compared with -',039,940 last year. 555,131 are under oats, as compared with 726.069, and lo llax 55,000 acres ire devoted as compared with 22,005 In 1902. ' There are similar, increases n all coarse grains with the exception Df barley, which shows a t decrease of {,253 acres." This is .accounted for by ihe fact that-many farmers have gone largely into .the growing of spelts. Expansion is shown in all districts ^of lhe Province. ' Increased population accounts for the increase in the iicw- tr sections and increased "acreage in the older. East winter the farmers fattened 13,986 head of cattle and carried through 126,846 milch cows. Of !hc cattle about two-thirds were used for home consumption. ' The number of milch cows has been increased since die advent of spring, and indications point to a profitable dairying" season ind a large output of butter. .. Just lbout one half as many extra male farm aands will be rentiircd to-garner this teason's harvest as last year,'the rea- ion being that farmers arc profiting ay the experience of other years, and aave engaged help before it is really ���equired; 5,158 extra men will satisfy ihe demand.

By A. P. Doble. HEN Lemuel Cadbury pro-' w posed that the village ol Slocum should hold a jubilee celebration, the younger citizens were .delighted with the idea. Lemuel was head, clerk in Ketchup's grocery, and was looked up to as a rising young man. Besides being the owner of a rolling bass voice, he had quite a, turn for composing poetry, and many a time Ids thoughts were on higher "tihihgs as he weighed out lard or mea- , sured molasses. His "Lines on the Death of Hannah 'Mclnnis" were considered reiy touching, and sorrow '^relatives tried <bo enlist bis sympathies when they ���wanted obituaries composed for tho do- panted. , ��� J For some months Slocum had been en- gying exceptional musical advantages in e person of Professor Valentine Water- bouse, Who came once a week from tlie city of Gridiron, fourteen^miles distant, to iraftruiot a few select pupils in vocal and instrumental nuisic. As lii3 clas3was Surge enough to necessitate Ins stopping ���,over .night jnJSlocum, his services were ���it onoe engaged to taain those \vho wore going to 'take part in the jubilee celebration. ' The professor was aiyold young man ot short staturo, whose struggles with poverty and a callous ! public had left mm lean and ^prematurely bald, lie readily took upon'himself the duty offered him by <a delegation of Slocumitea headed by Lcm Cud bury, and practice ���waa fixed for tho following Wednesday evening. Notices were seat round to , everybody in town" and the,result was a round-up of. all tlio people in Slocum who sang'or UiougOit they could. The first thing io bo done waa to flx the date tor the celebration. The professor thought tluut two months would give ample tmie to prepare tho music thorough- w; as it was getting on towaid tlie end of I Oatober, the first week in January would 'be about rigibt. And this date was decided on,' The professor spoke'blandly of several fine patriotic choruses and part-songs which would take well and be thoroughly up to date, and announced thiat.at the next meeting he would sls- aign'the parts and begin practice in earnest. , �� - But this was more easily said than done. When he caane to assign the parts .be found that oil the men were basses ���nd ail the women insisted on'singing ���oprano. la vain the professor assured tiie ladies thai the second part was fully as important in chorus singing as the treble. Mis. Keiohup, fhe grocer's wife, informed him that she would*"sing second to ndbody," and the 'others followed liar lead. And the men were either too' lazy or too timid to take a note higher tbaa D flat. At length the professor waied wroth. ,He told tiiemhe would try every voice, and that if' they did not take the parts assigned them he would wash his hands of the whole affair. - l / Mnally, out of. the forty-two female voices he selected about seventeen or eighteen to sing alto, but as they had had no, previous experience he had to beach theizn .their parts by the sheer force of repetition. His success with the other parts was not so , encouraging. There was not a true tenor among the whole fourteen male �� voices. Somehow the tenors of Slocum had fought shy of the jubilee. But the professor did not despair. -At the next me/ting it was decided that an ode should ��e composed, to be get to music, in honor of the town of Slocum, and this delightful duty waa assigned to Lemuel, as having the moat in- tenrate relations with the poetic muse. Next practice night Lemuel produced an ode ol eleven verses,' beginning as follows: * *- | "Eair Slocum, dearest spot on earth, I Success to Thee and Thine! , iWe greet Thee, City of our birth, And pledge Thee now in wine I" < ��� This was considered a very, fine effort, and quite the best thing he had hitherto , done. Slocum was as yet only a town of Gome eighteen hundred inhabitants, but of course it would grow. But a peculiar and serious difficulty arose. Those who hod temperance principles objected to. pledging Slocum or any other place "in wine," and insisted that these sentiments must be changed or they would withdraw. This looked seiioui, so Lemuel, sought the privacy, of hi*, chamber and after another seance with the muse produced tlie following, fiom which they could choose: "Pair Slocum, may Thy woes grow less, Thy blessings nevci -fail! IWe proudly drink to Thy success In Pierce's Ginger Ale!" cr "O Slocum, none than Thee more fair, May Thy glories never fadel ' IWe pledge Thee in u brimming bowl Of sparkling Lemonade!" Everyone felt thu1 Lemuel had done what ho could to conciliate all parties; but there was so much -wrangling as to which versos to omit and which "to retain that finally, on the suggestion of ^enezer Young, who was something of fivfa,g, they compromised by singing the whole thing, which amounted to 'thirteen verses���alas! unlucky number I However, barring these minor matters, everything went well. The practices wese well attended, the weekly meetings bore their usual crop of love affairs, and everybody was delighted. The accompanist was pretty Sadie Pendicott, the daughter, vied 'oy everyone, Jail. Professor Water- house set the ode 'to music. He was possessed of little originality, and tho tune was a delightful combination of "The ,Star-Spangled Banner" and "Rock of Ages;" but it won all hearts, and the ladies declared it '���awfully" nice." " -,��� ~ As the' day fixed for the celebration drew near the 'professor began to grow anxious. No tenois had as yet put in an appearance. Names were mentioned of�� several who sangY tenor, and these were sought out by the professor and his minions; but in spite of being cajoled and ooaxed and bribed-with prominent parta in the celebration they kept strictly out act the game. There was one man in. particular ,that had been angled for to no purpose. This was no less a person than Aaron Pendicott, Mayor ofy Slocuan. He iras the fortunate possessor of a rkfti tenor voice, which time seemed tormako jaore mellow. It was certain*that if {hey could only get Aaron won over to the good cause several others would iol-t low in his train. They would bo sure to ret Deacon LiUimug, who sang in a sort k falsetto; but, as Lcm said, "it would pass'all right in a crowd." Then there' Iras Dave Stivers, a coffin-maker by Irade, who had a wonderful voice, but pot the*least idea of tune. If he could be put alongside of someone who could keep Irim in the right key ho was warranted to go like a tiombone. And there were two or three others who wero sure to join once the ice was broken. "��� But the jucsfcion was how to get Aaron Pcndi- jott. *EvcTy, means under the sun was iricd except that of actually carrying him to the practice hall: us'Aaron was I. man who stood over six feet two in his itockincfB and weighed [in tho neighborhood of two, hundred pounds, this plan wasi left as a last resort. First Lemuel Cadbivry aud Ehenezer Voung, the schoolmaster, formed themselves into a deputation and waited upon him, but Aaron said he had no time "to bother with any of these new lilts;, he left them for the young folks." Several rimes Professor Waterhouse had broached the subject in the front parlor, backed up, of course, by���the fair Sadie, but,at last he was so sat upon that he thought It safest to drop the subject. Then tlie [oldies thought tney might be able to prevail, and' a deputation headed by Mrs. Ketchup and Miss Prinks, the milliner, tought him out at his place of business, the Slocum Carriage Works. All their blandishments were wasted. Aaron was obdurate. ' ., Ail this time the eyentful day was drawing nearer. The singers weie all" well up in their parts, and the Slocum Band had commenced to practice with them. ' Bills were posted far and near, and notices were printed in all the leading papeTs.K It had been .decided at an early date "that all the" ladies jwere to wear white, and most of them were getting their gowns ready. But as yet there was no tenor. The professor and his committee were becoming desperate. If tenors could not be obtained before next practice night the jubilee must fall through. To try tossing choruses without tenors was like trying to make bricks without straw. ' , Great needs make men rise to great oc- saeions. It was decided to make one Bupreme appeal to the . flinty-hearted Aaron, and not to stop wrestling with him until he consented to sing. With the courage of desperate men, Professor Waterhouse, with his two accomplices, Lam and Ehenezer, bearded the carriage- maker an his den, and after a two hours' struggle Aaron consented to sing. In fact, he gave in as the only way out. Once having given his promise to help, Aaron went into the celebration with all his might. Every night he and tho other delinquent tenors whom he had persuaded to join held practices with Miss Sadie in the front parlor, with such good results that when the final practice arrived they had their part perfect. But if the professor believed that his difficulties were" all over he was sadly mistaken. When he tried to arrange the altos behind the sopranos on the^sitagc Mrs. Ketchup and Miss Prinks, who were getting new white silk gowns, < strongly objected. If .they were going to be hidden from the view of the audience they might as well stop at home. Here they had faithfully attended every practice and had consented to sing alto much' against then* will, just to oblige the professor, and now they were going to be shoved back out of sight, while that horrid Mrs. Tizzaid and that bold minx of a Naylor girl were put right out m tho front! They wouldn't stand it! In vain poor Professor Waterhouse used all the arts of flattery at his command. They flatly refused to sing unless they could be seen. To say that they had the professor in a tight place is but putting it genteelly. They must be pacified. It would never do to have any hitch, and the celebration only two nights away. He and" Lemuel set the machinery of their mighty brains in motion and evolved a plan. They would have tho singers seated in tiers upon the pUtfoim. There would.be four rows of scats, one aibove another, of which tho two in front would be filled by the sopranos and altos in their white gowns, while behind t'lie'm and forming a background would be the tenors aud basses. Tliis would'afford every singer on opportunity to see and bo seen. At a very simall cost the seats could he put together just for tho eventful evening, and everyone thought that when the curtain rose the effect would be fine indeed. To Deacon Lillimug -vyas assigned the duty of getting tho scats made at once, so that they could be in place the next evening for the final rehearsal, and others of the men were told off to decorate the old Town Hall and get it into such form as would do honor to the great occasion. Every .town and village has its jaek-knife carpenter, and Slocum was no exception. The deacon decided to givo the carpentering job to Daniel Hemphill, a very deserving man who was always so hard up that it was a charity to put anything in his way. He was not chosen because of his skill as Mayor's daughter, and a3 she gracefully took her place at the piano . . i. v t. v. miring eyes in her d rcotion; but after >* carpenter, but because he was such a practice it was the professor who accom- WW ma�� ��Uld.th? f^her 4 mne. -8maU panied her homo, poor Lemuel feeling that ho hod not the ghost of a chance against so much genius. ��������� Lemuel as poet was admired and en* aliildren. True, ho had never been known to do a satisfactory job in his life, but aro we not told that "He that giveth to thejjoor lendeth to the Lord"? All the next day a mighty upheaval was going on in the old Town Hall, which, by the way, had been the scene ���if a chicken-Show a couple of days be- /.re. After the sawdust had been removed by the barrel, the floor was scraped and swept and scrubbed with all the energy that Slocum could muster. But all the'wuter'of Joidan and all the soap of Slocum could never remove tho odor which hung like incenso throughout its ancient precincts. That had become as much a part of the Town Hall as tha very walls. Small boys could be seen, ^urrying in all diiectdous, borrowing flags and bunting from various of Hie Slocum merchants, reluctant to lend, but not daring to refuse. Business was,, almost suspended, as nearly all the men in the village were tacking up mottoes and inscriptions, such as "God Bless Our Native Town!" "Slocum, We Rise to Greet Ihee!" and* others. Daniel, the godly parent of the nine small oltspiing, luul made therfour rows of seats, and theie Ihey stood 'on the platform with tho Iresh look of new lumber which wo�� ijuite inviting. The final rehearsal waa a triumph. Not i single flaw marred its course. The professor asked the men on the .two rear rows "to sit as softly r.s possible," as the seats, being only tcinpoiary, might not be quite secure. This was a very nece3- lary precaution, as all tlie basses and lenora were heavily built men, and it. iros best 'to be on the safe side. Long looked for comes at last! .The hibilee night had arrived. Long before tho doors of the Town Hall wero opened srowds waited in orderly tows on the adewalk. People from all the neighbor* Ing towns within a radius of twenty - niles had 'come to do" honor to Slocum. The building was packed, and hundreds iirere turned away disappointed. Profes- ��or Waterhouse felt that his 'hour of triumph had at last arrived, and he cavorted excitedly around, giving orders and seeing to things in general.; When Lemuel thought of his ode he saw Faaue just .within his grasp. And what-pen :an describe the costumes of the performers on that eventful night in Slo- smn's history? All the ladies-were in, white, except Miss Clancy, the dress-' maker, who had been so busy making the new gowns of the other, Slocum ladies that she did not get her own finished. Bhe wore the waist, an elaborate crcaJ tion, but had to he satisfied to appear in an old 'black skirt. But as she sat among the altos this,"of course, would not be noticed. Every gentleman that was not fortunate enough to possess a black coat borrowed one, and it is safe to say that every dress suit in Slocum was on duty at the celebration. All were faultless" as tov collars, ties and coats; but there (vera various delinquencies asvto footgear. They fondly imagined that, owing to the arrangement of the seats,'their feet -would not be ^visible, so moat of ,bhem wore just whatever happened to feel comfortable. There was a wonderful assortment of old overshoes, cowhides piiltless of blacking, and boots whose Jmtched soles and well-.ventilated uppers, bespoke the economy' of their owners. Bbenezer Young, having been troubled fori some time .with corns, wore an elaborate pair of crimson plush slippers embroidered on the 'toes with gold sunflowers, i They had been the gift of his best girl the previous Christmas, and besides being gorgeous were comfortable. '��� Precisely at half-past eight the curtain rose upon .the four tiers of smiling and telf-satisfied singers. The .processor raised his baton amid the hush that per- traded ^he throng. Tlie singers rose as ttne' man and began the ode. It took K>me time to sing through the whole, thirteen verses, and When, they finished they sat down amid applause which was ieaiening. Whether it was the applause that turned their heads it is impossible to say, but they forgot to "sit softly'" Above the clapping ,of hands was heard *' sound like the cracking of the roof on n winter's night_ magnified many times. Ihen followed an appalling crash. It seemed to the audience that a forest of black sleeves and white cuffs, surmount- sd by sheets' of musicj rose in the air; then the basses and tenors disappeared backwards, madly plunging. AJas! for the fell results of the number thirteen! Ihe seats had given way. Tlie confusion was frightful. Ehenezer 5Toung, who sat it the end, tried to stop himself by. slutching wildly at some of the 'bunting irhriah decorated 'the wings. It only served, however, to hinder his exit a moment or two while the audience bad a slurred view of crimson and gold-embroidered feet pawing the air. The arms nnd legs of Deacon Lillimug struck out in a vain endeavor to seue a nearby post, like ihe tendrils of a honeysuckle seeking a support to cling to. The effect upon the audience was like .hat of on electiic shock. Some were' ilarmed, gome indignant, some when they thought of the array of feet so ittthless- y exposed to view, laughed till they :ried. Old Mrs. Scroggie, who was very deaf and had not been inside the hall for over twenty yeais, took it all as a matter of course, thinking it sonic new way of celebrating jubilees. But more than the dignity of some of the singers was huit. Young Mr. Styles, I rising young dentist, was so badly aurfc that a doctor had to be summoned >n to the stage. Aaron Pendicott stittck uis head on a rusty nail in a piece of board which the deserving Daniel had left lying around loose, and seven of the unlucky jubilce-celebrators were carried to their homes on stretchers. Very soon after daylight the next morning a tall and portly figure, armed with a snake-whip, might have been seen waiting outside Daniel Hemphill's door. A.n hour or so later his patience was rewarded, and when Daniel started out he was met by Aaron* Pendicott, who administered as severe a drubbing as a much less godly man than Daniel might have looked for. Aaron then made a visit to Lemuel Cadbury, with the result that Lemuel, the poet of Slocum, was incapa- sitatcd for business for the space of a week. Rumor hns it that lie also held in interview with Professor' Valentine Waterhouse, with the result that that gentleman has never since been seen in ���slocum. Aaron felt that he had been saseiy misled and" humiliated by these three gentlemen,'and took tho law into his own hands to obtain satisfaction. Even to this day it is not wise to allude in his presence to 'the Slocum jubilee, which was his last appearance. t , Did Burns Write" "Coiuin' thro' 'the Rye?" ' 1' < London "Truth"." ' ��' Mr. Carruthers Gould/ in his clever caricature concerning a recent election which lesulted in tlie Liberal candidate ���'Comin' Thro' the Rye," 'has, J see, adopted the reading that the "Rye" wus a cornfield. It has gencially been undei- stood that the llye lefeiicd to wao the rivulet in Ayrshire wheie Burns and'his boy friends teased the girls who were wading through the stieam with their skirts tucked up, the damsels preferiing to he kissed rather than to allow their petticoats to diop into the water. But, although the fact is little known, there is authority for Mr. Gould's reading, at any rate if the lines scratched on a pane of glass at Mituchlinc bo genuinely by Burns. They run: "Gin a body kiss a body comin' through the gmin, Need a body grudge a body what's a i body's am. When, however, the song was first heard In London at a pantomime in 1795, it began, "If a body meet a body going to the fair." But, although I should not like to say so in the picsence of a Scotsman, there has always, I fancy, been a doubt whether the lines are by Burns at all. f Far-Reaching. When Mrs. Grundy starts a tals Ot gossip winding far and wide.

She must have used a megaphone. AGAIN AND M I -1 iy .r .using the Waste. ' The last word In the utilization of waste material seems to have been said by a correspondent' of The American Machin- at, says The Literary Digest, who writes as follows to that paper > about a New .Xork factory ~for the transformation of Md tin cans Into various useful products.' "I waa much i surprised and greatly inter- sated a, few days since, when shown :hrough a certain establishment near New fork City, to find that the 'raw material' ised consisted'1 chiefly of empty fruit and vegetable cans rescued "by the cartload from the dumps of the city. I had supposed,' up to that time, that the only purpose for*which such material was suited was food for goats or to be attached to the tails of unfortunate canines. The principal products of this < establishment, which is a foundry, are window-sash weights, elevator weights and ballast for boats. The weight castings are very hard, and, when, struck with a hammer, ring like steel., About the only tool which can be usad for removing sprue*-and fins la the hammer, as a cold chisel or file will not stand up to the work. The fracturo Df the round sash weights is smooth, and ���hows crystals radiating from the centre like spokes of a wheel. After delivery at the foundry the cans are first piled Into i large Iron grating, located under a Iheet-Tron hood, which terminates In a smokestack. They are sprinkled liberally with crude oil, which is set on fire. This Process consumes the labels, loosens tha lrt and melts <fce solder, which falls through the grating, is collected, washed ind melted, cast into Ingots and sold to ke used again. Some of the cans, which have simply lapped and soldered joints, Belt apart' completely; these are sorted ��ut and the sheets forming the shells ara itralghtened out and bound into bundles io be Bold to trunkmakers, who utilize Jbem for protecting the corners of Saratoga trunks. They are also bought by mtton manufacturers, who stamp from ihem the disks used in cloth-covered but-, tons. The remainder of the cans, being nachlne-made, do not come apart. Thesa ire loaded Into large carts, taken to tha tharglng-floor on an elevator and dumped nto the cupola. The cupola Is fed with eoke and cans In alternation. There ls occasionally .an old wash-boiler or a bun- He of tln-rooflng used, but cans form :he bulk_of the material The cans are so light that some of, them are carried out ��t the top of the stack by the force of the blast, and a large screen has been irranged to prevent the pieces from fall- ng on tho roof. If among those readers ��f The American Machinist to whom :hese facts are new there are any who lave occasion to use the elevators in the ikyscrapers of New York, I can imagine moh wondering how many empty cans it took to make the weights which balance :he car in which they ride." Dangers From Fresh Paint. House painting and decorating are Just now in evidence, and the season Is not without its dangers as well as Inconveni- Micea to those who are compelled by ne- :essity or slender means to stop at home luring tho progress. Headache, says Tho London Lancet, is a common experience it this lime. Posbibly the oil with which cho palntor mixes his pigments is sutfl- :lent to cause nausea, although there leems to bo lltlo doubt that minute q'uali- :ics of load aic inhaled also People havo ��oen known to suftor fiom a severo attack of colic after silting in a loom for a .'ow hours a day In which thero wore "canvnscs" covcied with whlto lead and i drying oil. Ai lists, again, havo been tttacked with paralysis owing to the ac- Uon of tho oil p.tlnt. People Misceptlblo to tho action of the pols,on should make a itienuous endeavor to leave the house Juilng Its painting and decoration, while :hoso who are compelled to lemuln should live In the frosli air aa much as possible, tn the sleeping room a veiy useful pre- tautlon ls to leave the washing basin full >t clean water, or, better btlll, milk, during the night. In tho morning a greasy .11m will bo found on tlio surface of tho water. Milk Is a well-known absorbent >f odors, and appeals, to act moro effectu- illy than water for this pui pose, for after tx.posuro in a freshly pulntcd house tho nllk will be found to smell quite distinctly of paint. Our contemporary does not mention the practice in some localities of aanglng up a bunch of straw or hay dipped In water. By thjs means a larger wet surface is exposed to tho air, with correspondingly Increased absorbent powers. -London Telegraph.

Cats In "Warsaw have not a very txisy time at present, and for the reason that ' their skins are in greater demand than [ they have ever been before. ��� Soma enter* _? I prising furriers of that city, It is said, re-' ' cently discovered that the skins of cats could ba dyed so that they would closely resemble costly furs, and, being determined to profit by the discovery, they waged a campaign against cats, and soon , secured a large number of skins. Tho market price of a cat's skin ranges now ^�� from ten to fifteen cents, but it will soon -. be much higher, as il is becoming dally more difficult to catch any cats in War-y saw. In regard to the dyed skins, a Vienna Journal says that they have be.en ,'" palmed off on many persons as vaiuabla *��r.( , ' ��� , r Will Send Delegates. Upwards of 100 Chambers of Commerce throughout tho empire, says The London,, Times, have already notifled their inten-' tion to send delegates to the congress which is to bo held at Montreal in Aug- '<��� ust. In a preliminary circular concern- ' Ing the arrangements for the gathering, the London Chamber of Commerce state that the question of the business programme has assumed gi eater importance even than on previous occasions, first, because this is the first congiess outside . the United Kingdom, and, secondly, because Canada has taken the lead amongst the Independent States under the Crown to offer preferential tieatment to the mother countiy, whilst tho South African Customs Union Is about to follow in the same direction. Tho council of the Chamber have therefore decided, with a view co ofllcially instructing their delegates on buch questions as the preferential ' tariffs and other economic maitcis on which opinions may differ, to hold on Thursday a joint meeting of the chamber, of tho Oiganlzlng Committee of the Congress, and of the late New York delegation, for tho purpose of considering these points. . Army Manoeuvres in Winter. Every winter tho Swiss army executes manoeuvres to accustom the troops to conditions of war during cold and snow. In these exercises tho Infantry are prodded with skis, and with this curious footgear the men aro able to progress at the rate of five to six miles an hour. When it is desired to make a rapid advance, the Laplanders, mounted on skis, use their reindeer as a means of traction. The Scandinavians adopted the Idea, but1 substituted the horse for the reindeer; and now the Swiss, as shown in the Illustration, have adopted the same plan. The men on skis grasp a rope, which ls attached to the saddle, o,nd this rope is made easily detachable In case of an accident. The sport ls now practised a good deal In Switzerland, where races are held every winter. Last year tho champion of this form oC sport, a Swedish officer, covered 11% miles In two hours and a half, equal to 16% mil'es an hour. When the condition of the snow has been favorable, as much as 18% miles an hour has been att'ilned. One advantage' of this mode of progression is that as each mounted man will be ablo to draw three men on skis, the mounted troops will bo more readily supported by tho infantry.
