It was tho most enthusiastic camp- meeting that had been held thereabout for years, nil the farmers anil ! their wives and their daughters declared, as they clambered into their wagons and carry-alls and jogged slowly homeward. The old traveling evangelical minister was a success, they voted, and they would have been well pleased, to have heard him again. As for the minister himself, he was glad to see the country people enjoy his exhortations so thoroughly. And he wondered, too, why the fair- haired, handsome young man and the pretty, dark-eyed young girl should linger after all fhe rest had departed to talk with ^lim; and yet, after a few desultory remarks had been made, he was not so very much surprised when he wus called upon to wed them. He was only too willing, and bid them clasp each other's hands nnd stand before him. Despite the firm pressure of Glen- denning's lingers closing over her own, the girl trembled. It was such a solemn thing, this marriage ceremony. How blue tho sky looked through tho network of green leaves, anil how green the grass was beneath her feet, with its nodding daisies and harebells and timid buttercups. It seemed to take the old minister an age to adjust his spectacles, open the sacred Book, and find the place. And in the interim how tho faco of tho heavens changed! The sun hid his face behind a cloud and the light of tho summer day dark- eneu; the wind sighed among tho branches of the trees, like spirits in distress; a bird that was twittering but a moment since on a bough over her head flew oft with a startled cry. But neither the cloud, nor tho wind, nor the bird warned the girl that sho was taking a step which she would rue in anguish more bitter than death during all tho years of her after life. "Make haste if you please, good sir, exclaimed Olcndenning, impatiently. "It is blowing up for a storm and it will be down upon us before we can reach home." "The knot will be tied as quickly as it can be done, sir," returned the minister, who had by this time found the place in his book. Five minutes, and the words Were uttered which could never be unsaid, and Neva, fair, innocent Neva, was the lawfully wedded wife of Glendenning. Then the old gentleman drew from his pocket a package of marriage certificates and proceeded to (ill one out. "I have so many affairs of this kind to attend to as I travel about from village to village that I always cany them about with me nowadoys," *he explained. Here, again, an unexpected dilemma -presented itself. Oscar Glendenning was -obliged to give the namo of Koger instead of his own. Por an instant he had hesitated when the I quosl ion of namo camo up. "It can not matter in point of law whether I say Roger or Oscar," ho said to himself. "It is the man my little Neva is marrying, not tho name. I can straighten all that out later iri explaining the matter to her." He did not wish to startle her by mentioning it at that all-important epoch of their lives. And upon this one point, dear reader, rests all the sorrow of the girl's future. Only a few words! Ah! how much they mean 'tp, tho two stand- ting his coming, was ient, a\\ii from the next who was await: growing impatien'^^^^^^^^^^^ room he heard the footsteps of N va's mother rapidly approaching. Glendenning had buiijly time to release her ere the mower entered. "Good-bye,'; he said, extending his hand to the girl. "Good-bye," she murmured, striving hard to keep back nor tears. And, With a lingering glance, he turned, then walked rapidly from tho room and from the house. for it, and when they Htched it they found him leaning against the pillar of the porch with a smile on his lips. He had preached his last sermon in this world, and had set forth on the road ho had so long pointed out to others. And thus it happened (hat tho record of-the marriage just solemnized never reached the office of the count}' clerk to be duly li.ed there. Meanwhile, the newly made bride and groom slowly wended their way back to the old farm-house, planning, as only tho young and hopeful can who have life before them, the happy future they were to pass with each other. That walk homeward was the happiest hour of Neva Glcn- denning's life How pitiful it is that joy is so fleeting and sorrow lingers so long by our side! At the gate they saw Neva's mother. She did not realize then, but she knew afterward, why the girl ran to her, flung her white arm around her neck, covering her face with kisses and tears. "Such i.n experience as we have had a little while ago!" began Mrs. Gray, excitedly. "Three constables from the next county wero in the house. They wore on a search for some fugitive whom they have be«K> tracking down for over two months. He is somewhere hereabouts, they say. Ugh! it makes me shudder even to think of it. Why, with su h men prowling about we are not safe from being murdered in our bods any night. I shall have all the dogs kept in tho house after this night." Glendenning listened like one dazed. There was no doubt in his mind but that he was the fugitive they were hunting down. "Did they mention the name of tho man they were looking for?" he asked with whito lips, speaking with difficulty. "No. They did mention, however, that it was useless to call him by any name, for, ten chances to one he went under an assumed one." "Did they describe him?" asked Glendenning, still in that unearthly, hoarse voice. "Yes, they inquired minutely ol one of the farm-hands, for every one else about the house was at the far end of the orchard. He does not understand good English and did not understand half the questions they asked of him. They rode on, but will be back this way to-morrow. He caught that much of their conversation." Glendenning's face had turned a ghastly white as he listened, but he did not utter a word lest his voice should betray his emotion. A little later he came to Nova as she was clearing away the supper dishes alone in the wide, cool farm kitchen. "I must have a word with you, Neva," he said, hoarsely. "I—I—am called suddenly away from here. One of the farmers below here who is going over to the village has consented..to take me. I must go." He saw the words strike her as lightning strikes a fair flower. Tho glass she held in her hand fell from her nerveless fingers and crashed into a thousand pieces on tho floor. "You are going to leave mc, Roger?" she breathed, faintly, trembling llko a loaf ' in a bitter, swirling Atorm. . "Listen to the rest, Neva,"' he said. "You are to join mo. I have planned it all out. Hero is tho money for your ticket. You aro to buy it straight through to New Yeddo, and I will bo waiting at the depot to meet you. i not leave a note. You shall write back immediately and tell them we are married, and ing there.

Plutocrat Master of England's High Social Circles and Begins Now to Dictate Terms Therein. H. B. Marriott "Watson, the English author, -writes: Plutocracy spells snobbery always. The class which has established Itself on top always will receive deference from the class which ls struggling up to gain admission to those ranks. There is no hope of admission to them without money, and heneo plutocracy means snobbery. As we are the most plutocratic nation *n Europe, we are also the most snobbish. If ono wished to be amiable one might plead that the snob ls by way of being an idealist. He reveres a social status the very thought that he had gone ] which he does not possess.

I our national1 weakness may be oonsid- — ered venial. Snobbishness Is not crime. But, on the other hand, it is one of AMAZING WEDDING. CHAPTER XI. The long day drew to a close nt Ian;, and it seemed to Neva us thu ugh long years of desolation had passed over her young head. Ill almost seemed to her us though death did thgpi part "May you hnvo a happy life of it," hq added, placing his trembling hand upon the girl's dark head. She thanked him through her happy tears. The certificate was duly mado out and handed to her, nnd he watched them as, hand in hand, they turned from nim at length and walked down the magnolia-liordcred road together—watched them until a bend in the road hid them from his view. "May Heaven find pardon for the thought, but I do not quite liko his faco," he mutt&red, as he- mounted his horse and rode slowly away in an opposite 'direction. "The girl' is like a mountain snow-drop, with a soul as pure and white, while he is of the world, worldly to the heart's core. Nature never makes a mistake in her handwriting on the human face, and fate either marked that, man for a criminal or a great genius, I hardly know which, handsome and polished though he be. I must remember to send in the record of this marriage to the county clerk when I reach the next village. I Would make a note of it in my memorandum but for my being so unlucky as to forget my pen and pocket ink-well." But the old preacher never reached the village that he set out for. Feeling faint, he stopped at the first farm-house for a glass of water. He Cat down on tho doorstep to wait lievo me, my darling, we will soon be forgiven. You must start tomorrow night from Hempden village. The train for Now Yoddo stops there at throe o'clock in the morning. You will be obliged to take that." "Oh, Roger!" sho sobbed hysterically, clinging to him, "it breaks my heart to leave home! I—" "It must bo as you wish, Neva," he said, gravely. "Your will must be my law. If you prefer to remain here a few months until I can return for you, I—I—am forced to consent, much as such a decision would disappoint me." "My place is by your side, Roger," sobbed the girl. "I must do what you think best. I—I—will join you at the place you spoke of, and my earnest prayer will be that lather and mother will forgive me." Ho took her in his arms and kissed her lips. It touched him to see how blindly and implicitly she trusted him. And she wus the only ono in the wide, wide world who behoved in him. Ho held her reverently in his arms one littlo moment, the young bride whom he had just wed ded ^^^^^ How dreary the house seemed! Every hour In the day she found herself listening for his step or h.s voice When the darkness of night fell, tho girl crept to her lonely room, throw herself upon her couch. and cried herself to sleep, and in her dreams his face haunted her. Ah, dear Heaven, how lonely it was without him! Every one noticed Neva's depression, and attributed it at once to the departure of handsome, graceful Glendenning. '■Wo got rid of him Jest in time," remarked Farmer Gray to his wife, the next day. "Little Neva was growin' powerful fond o' that chap." "I saw that almost a fortnight ago, and it troubled me, I can tell you," returned his wife. "He was very bright, but I thank goodness he has gone for good. She will mope a little while, no doubt, but she is very young, and she will soon forget him." "I tell you what, wifo, it don't do to bring theso hnndsome city chaps in one's home, 'specially whar a man's got a susceptible young darter," said Farmer Gray, as he puffed vigorously at his pipe. "This here cxperanco has learned me a lesson that I'll be apt to profit by, I'll allow," Tho long day drew to a close, as all days must, and "Night drew her sable curtains, and pinned them with a star." Every one at the farm-house retired early; it seemed long hours at that, from nine o'clock at night until four in the morning. Neva gave her father and mother such a hysterical hugging and kissing, when she bade them good-night, that they wondered at it. "Poor child! she's worrited still over tho going of Glendenning," muttered the farmer, brushing a tear from his eye as the door closed after her. He made no remark concerning tho matter to his wife, lest the affair might troublo her mind. "It will soon all como out right," muttered the farmer; and, still thinking over the matter, he dropped off into an uneasy sle- [TO —E CONTINUED.] FOR THE PLAIN PEOPLE. lln-ilnrj Milk That Mny Be Vended at Moderate Cost. What Is to be done for the grent mass of people who cannot afford to buy certified milk delivered In glass jars ut nn advance price? The following scheme has been suggested to milk producers by the health authorities of one city: Make the milking pail, shipping can and delivery can one vessel, holding about fifteen quarts, with a small 5% Inch opening nnd a tight cover. Milk through a sterilized cheesecloth strainer directly into this" can until it Is full; throw the'stralnors Into a pall; put ou the cover and sink the can in Ice ■water. This can Is shipped by rail, or curried ou the peddler's wagon, and used for a delivery cau. This milking pall and cheesecloth strainer must be sterilized by steam or simply by putting tho pall containing some water nnd strainers on the stove to boll for five minutes. A cooling, tank should be mnde so that it overflows at a level just below the cover of tbe can. This scheme ought to materially lower the cost of clenu milk. For the house peddling we offer one or two suggestions: The nsunl method of using a quart dipper or a lightly closed pall with a spout that can be corked; then tbe peddler tutus tlie pail upside down to mix the milk, removes tbe cork and pours out tbe required amount Into the customer's glass or tin quart measure, the cleanliness of which the customer is responsible for. tho most offensive properties to the superficial eye of the observer of social life. "Tommy," said Byron of Moore, "dearly loves a lord." Your snob dearly loves a lord. But that Is a detail ln his character, for he has a perfect social code by which he directs his life. He has been In existence so long now that he has organized himself. He has become almost respectable by reason of his antiquity. And his opinions and ideals have obtained currency ln all classes of the community. They have tainted the once Independent and autocratic views at the aristocracy. However stupid the aristocracy might be, lt at least developed Its own ideals and habits in former days. To-day it has accepted the traditions of the snob. To the snob (and through him to the English social world generally) lt Is essential to have gone to a public school. One recalls Du Maurler's picture of Sir Gorglus Midas regretting he had not had the advantages of Eton to the duke, and his grace In turn regretting that he had. The public school has been taken over by the snob. In the famous Victorian days thore -were pursuits definitely barred to "gentlemen." who must either enter army or navy or become barrister or parson or doctor lf ln want of a profession. But changing times have changed all that, although the snob still has his preferences. Theso professions are the "safest"; they convey respectability. The snob remains with us with certain altered characteristics. Once he aspired to reach an aristocracy which was by no means founded on wealth, and his aim was thus not wholly Ignoble. But the wealth of the mtddlo class has contaminated society, and tho old ideals have been supp—.-ited by the new ideal of .noney. Plutc .-acy reigns supreme and unashamed In London society, and the snob no longer merely loves a lord; he loves a wealthy man. If one Is to judge by the papers, London society ia made up of Americans and continentals. Occasionally English names appear, but the cosmopolitan element bulks largest ln Importance. The cosmopolitanism of society only became possible by reason of the snob. He pushes his way in, and the sicial circles which once would have been shut against him open to receive him warmly. The plutocrat Is master of the situation and is beginning to dictate terms. It Is he now (or she) who 'breeds Independent opinions and starts new fash- Ions and generally Imposes his (or her) will on society. . Couple Married In London While Liv* ing on Continent, Inquiries by the Zurich police haver brought to light an extraordinary story of the alleged marriage In a London church of a couple who at the time- were on the Continent. M. Blarek and his wife, the latter of Austrian nationality, were recently arrested at Zurich as dangerous Anarchists. Investigations resulted I— the- discovery that the couple had been, marriod by a remarkable method. They sent papers relating to themselves to a friend in London, who, it Is stated, took them to a clergyman, with tho result that the marriage ceremony was celebrated, although the bride and bridegroom were at Zurich. English, marrlage laws have become notorious In Switzerland, adds our correspondent, and the term "married in England" ia one of reproach. It Is possible that an explanation of our correspondent's message may be found ln the unscrupulous personation by paid agents of the couple who desired a record of their English marriage. The marriage laws Of many Continental countries impose restrictions not known in Britain, such, for Instance, as considerable length of residence and the consent .of parents. Here, with a residence ot under a month, lt ls quite possible to be married, and such marriage being confirmed by the foreign consul ls binding in the country from which the visitors come. Hundreds of couples visit England for the purpose of a speedy marriage. It ls quite possible, therefore, that an unscrupulous agent In London might procure two persons representing themselves as the couple whose papers were in his possession to go> through the marriage ceremony. "When it was completed, the papers and evidence relating to the marriage might ■be forwarded to the real couple, ■who have all the time been on the Continent BENEFICENT MICROBES. AMBULANCE DOGS. Famous British Scientist Eulogise* Their Virtues. A discourse on beneficent microbe.) was delivered by the famous scientist. Sir Michael Foster, at the opening of the new baoterlologloal laboratory presented to the R.othamstead experimental station by Mr. J. F. Mason, M. P. Sir Michael thinks that bacteriological research may show that microbes, so far from 'being enemies of humanity, play an Important part ln providing the nation's food. He declared that In the work at Rothamr.tcad there had hitherto been a lack of any study of the part whlcb, mlarobca play in the work of the soil and the plant. We heard a good deal, he said, of microbes which were our very good friends, and some of the- best of them were those working silently and unseen ln the soil. The struggle for existence waa fundamentally a struggle for nitrogen, and there were microbes in the soil which were making the nitrogen of the air eatable by humanity. "Thanks to Mr. Mason's gift," continued Sir Michael, "I hope that much light will be thrown on the action of microbes in producing our natural food." Four-Legged Recruits For Red Cross Service In England. The value of ambulance dogs ln time of war was demonstrated at the annual inspection of the Royal Army Medical Corps (volunteers), by Col. Sloggett, In Hyde Park. Three dogs train for the purpose by Major Richardson, of Forfarshire, were put through a variety Q'f experimental work in finding "wounded" soldiers, and the trials proved most effective. The animals run about. with loud bells on their neck, and protected from being fired on by wearing a saddle with a large Geneva red cross. They proceed in advance of the stretcher- bearers, and on discovering a patient sit down to "mark" or watch him till the ambulance arrives. Dogs trained by Major Richardson were extensively used by the Russians in the war in Manchuria, and they were pronounced to be partlculatly useful. The excellent ambulance Instincts of the degs was of great Interest to a large crowd, who keenly regarded every detail of their movements. Major Richardson was warmly congratulated on the success of the exhibition. Two of the men of the corps fainted on arriving ln the park after their long march from headquarters ln Gray's Inn road, and had to be medically attended .by their comrades. A Wonderful Escape.

Nor ls It perhaps known outside of the family circle that his father, Otto Goldschmldt, celebrated his seventy-eighth birthday on Aug. 21.

He was not what might be called a pretty man, his face being the typical Scotch one, and that, as James Bos- well said when flrst introduced to Dr. Johnson, was a thing which he oould) not help; but to suppose that the coarse, almost brutal-looking face of the fiddler's wife was drawn from his own ls nothing short of a libel on the artist. It ls told with reference to this very figure ln the picture that a lady friend of the artist, visiting his studilo whilo the picture was ln progress, remarked, ''Man, you've made the fiddler's wife- very -ugly." "Well, madam," was the artists reply, "fiddlers' wives are not, as a rule, up to a very high standard of beauty." I might Just add that the figure of the man cracking his Angers to amuse the child ln tho same picture ls said to have been drawn from Mao. ready." Not a — omer.

WASTING BRAIN AND NERVE FORCE And Undermining Health by Useless Worry-- lUew Vitality Obtained by Using Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. Brain and nerve force is squandered jn a way which would he utterly condemned in the use of money. And of what value is money as compared with ihealth I By useless fretting and worry, by overwork, and by neglecting to take proper nourishment, rest und sleep, strength and vitality arc frittered uway and no reserve force is left to withstand _.,e aii.'ii'K oi iTisease. Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is valued because it actually increases the amount of nerve force in the body, overcomes the symptoms arising from exhausted nerves, and gives that strength .and confidence in mind and body which is necessary to success in life. Nervous headache, brain fag, inability to concentrate the mind, loss of sleep, irritability, nervousness and despondency are among tlie indications of ex huusted nerve force. These are the warnings which suggest the necessity or such help as is best supplied by Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. Mrs. J. B. Tardiff, Mariapolis, Man., writes.—"When I began the use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food my health was in a terribly bad condition. My doctor told me that I was going into consumption and for nearly three years my bowels were so loose and watery that I was continually weak and run down. In spite of the many remedies used I gradually grew worse and worse. I could- scarcely get around ihe house and suffered a great deal fiom backache, stomach and kidney troubles. Dr. Chased Nerve Food proved to be exactly what I needed and by keeping ip this treatment for a time I got so strong and well that I did my own housework and sometimes worked in the fields without feeling any the worse for it. It is a pleasure as well as a duty for me to recommend Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. If you would be healthy, happy and successful, test this great food cure, 50 cents a box at all dealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co., Toronto. The Cat Had Chickens. The old housekeeper met the master at tho door on his arrival home. "If you please, sir," she said, "the cat has hnd chickens." "Nonsense, Mnry," laughed he. "You mean kittens. Cuts dou't have chickens." •'Wns them chickens or kittens ns you brought home lust night?" nsked tlio old woman. "Why, they were chickens, of course." "Just so, sir," replied Mury, with a twinkle. "Well, the cat's had 'em!" Cheapest of All Medioinea—Considering the curative qualities of Dr. Thomas' Electric Oil it is the cheapest medlolne now offered to the public.

Darwin and Dooka. Of Darwin lt Is affirmed that he seemed unaware of the difference ln the value of books and would treat a iSiiehnsdorf binding with tbe same scant courtesy that he exercised toward a penny pamphlet Covers appeared to him a useless weight and decidedly ln the way, and he often got rid of them by ripping them off. Sometimes tlie book was borrowed. It Is said that in the eud his friends used to give blm any book which he wished to borrow, for thoy knew that, If lt were ever returned, its usefulness as a book would be at jan end.

It is said that ono pound of cheese is equal in food value to more than two pounds of meat. It Is very rich in pro- teids aud fut. Considering this, lt Is low in price wheu compared with nieut and ought to do good service to the poor man in replacing occasionally the regular diet of moat.

The Swiss pcnsnnt depends on it as a staple second only to bread, while tho use of It in Euglund and Germany is pxtenpive. Buy Hair atAuciion?

Donovan also took a dive from Niagara bridge, a good 200 feet There are no other divers ln tbe same class with Larry. Jack Burns made a dive of 150 feet from the topmost yardnrm of the Three Brothers, the Inrgest Bulling ship of Its time, and Jim O'Rourke and Julius Gautler have doue some good diving, too—100 feet, 125 feet, and so on—but It Is doubtful if Donovan's record will ever be broken."

It wns her villa without the, walls of Moscow, where she could live at her ease, surrounded by j her intimates, the Apraxins, the Volkonskys, the Golltslns, the Kazumovs. She would have no soldiers to guard her. She preferred to rest under the protection of her own people, and the people came crowding about the palace, saying: "Make no noise! Do not disturb our lltt.e mother!" She loved the fields and woods of Petrovsky, as well she might. It was in this nelibborhood that she herself awaited the approach of her coionatlon, staying In Count ttazumov's wonderful villa, which so astonished Lord Herbert and William Coi in 1778. She had the palace built to commemorate tbe Itusslan. victories over the Turks and Intrusted the task to a nntl /e nrchltect who knew how to adapt Gothic lines to Russlnn tnste and to combine splendor with comfort.

His Receptions Were Conducted With Princely Formality. When he arrived ln London the enthusiasm of the English people seemed to know no bounds. His entry was like that of a national hero returning from a victorious campaign—the multitudes crowding the streets were Immense. He appeared In his picturesque Hungarian garb, standing upright in his carriage, with his saber at his side and surrounded by an equally picturesque retinue. But when he began to speak, and his voice with Its resonant and at the same time mellow sound poured forth Its harmony over the heads of the throngs ln classic English, deriving a peculiar charm Irom the soft tinge of foreign accent, then the enthusiasm of the listeners mocked all description. Kossuth had been offered the hospitality of the house of a private citizen of London who took an especial Interest ln the Hungarian cause, and there during his sojourn In the British capital he received his hdmlrers and friends. A kind of court surrounded him; his companions, always ln their Hungarian national dress, maintained ln a ceremonious way his pretension of his still being the rightful governor of Hungary. He granted audiences llko a prince, and when he entered the room he was announced by an aide-de-camp as the "governor." All persons rose and Kossuth saluted them with grave solemnity. Among the exiles of other nations these undemocratic formalities created no llttle displeasure. But lt was Kossuth's Intention to produce certain effects upon public opinion, not in his own, but In his people's behalf, and as to that end lt may have seemed to him necessary to Impress upon the Imagination of the Englishmen the picture of Hungary under her own governor, and also to Illustrate to them the firm faith of the Hungarians themselves In the Justice of their cause, It was not Improper that he should have used such picturesque displays as means for the accomplishment of his purpose.—-Carl Schurz ln McClure's, Tools of Trade.

Rev. W. E. Pescott gave an inspiring address on Missionary Work, showing how the Christian Religion is spreading throughout the world. Tne gain in India was SO per cent during the past deoade, thore being at the present time 3,000,000 Christians in India. In Japan there are 66,000 Protestant Christians, combined with the Roman Catholics there are 158,000 Christians in Japan, a gain of 400 per cent within twenty years. The spread of the Gospel was equally gratifying in China, Africa aud among the Indians of B. O. The largest church in the world was at Helio. Hawaii, forty years ago all the natives of Hawaii were cannibals. All the islauds in the Southern Pacific were Christianized. What was needed was more Missionaries, especially young men and women to go forth and help win the world for Christ.

It is hut natural that the influence of the popularity ot elaborate trimmings should be strongly felt in the button field. This is surely a button year, it ono can judge from the quantities of them to be seen in the city Btores and on the most up-to-date of new gowns. But do uot get the impression that we aro to fasten our waists with buttons in the same old-fashoned way as in nine cases out of ten, the buttons used are for ornamentation only. They are put on strappings and revers. The cost of some these buttons is surprising. Last-week I was quite dum- f bunded wheu pricing some buttons to find they were $18 and $20 a dozen- They were truly beautiful and it wonld only take oue or two of them to put the needed finish to a wrap or dress. Gold seems to be as evicent in the new buttons as it every othoo kind of trimming. Very many of these gold and jeweled buttons are nearly as huge as a silver dollar, and one. or two of them aro vory popular for fur coats. A very novel button is of black velvet set in silver and striped in silver bands, studded with rhinestones. These brilliant stones are used more than Ivor and are combined witb oxidised silver, gilt, mother-of-pearl, in waving stripes, squares, scroll and circles. Steel point buttons are iu marked favor but there is alno a demand tor the tieted metal buttons in old tapestjy oolors. One of the deportment stores is showing somthing quite original in the way of plaid buttons in glass and enamel Undoubtedly, they will be very popular as the seasou progresses. These buttons are decidedly gay, with alt 'mate wida and narrow stripe in deep blues, dork reds, combined in all sorts of widths.

As Soon aa We lii'irln to Hake Tbem We It.-_.i.i to Softer. We would not have to strive so for courage if what we vaguely call "things" were more evenly distributed einoug us, for no one's lot would then -seem to him an evil one. If we were -all humpbacked or lame or blind; If every husband wore unfaithful a ,d every child a cross; if we were all pr.jr and no man hud any more than another; If nobody's son died in his early strength and uobody was loved while we sat neglected, theu who of us would know what sorrows and afflictions were? We would take each of them for granted, ns a Chinaman takes his yellow sklu and an Indian his red one. It Is because we see our estate differing from that of our follows that wc are tempted to comparisons, and It Is In the making of these comparisons that a sense of our sorrows, like the 'knowledge of our afflictions, is flrst _orn. How would we havo known tbat We were poor unless we had seen some one else who was richer or that our eon was unsuccessful unless the son of somebody else were making a great mark In the world? Would our little children be unhappy with only one dress had they not seen other children with two? It comes to this, then: When we begin to make comparisons, we begin to suffer. This may seem to be a hard saying; but it is a true one.—Lillle Hamilton French In Harper's Bazar.

"With the expedition headed by Walter Wellnian from Spitsbergen, that of Mylius Erlchsen from Greenland aud Unit of Mil-kelson from Alaska, all advancing upon tlie polo this .summer, interest in Peary who went north last summer and thus has a year's start of thein, is becoming greater," writes P. T. McGrath lu the Chicago News from St. John's, N. F. "Peary went north from Newfoundland in July, 1905, In , his splendid new stenmer Roosevelt I and hoped to be able to work his way up into the polar basin west of Green- i lnnd before navigation closed, n feat j almost accomplished by Cnptnln Hnll ■ In the Polaris iu 1S71. An open seasou j in the seaway there, whicll occurs occasionally, enables on extreme north- i lug to be made, and If Peary wero so favored he would be nblo to shorten by some hundreds of miles the distance ho would have to cover on foot ln advnnc- ' Ing toward the pole Itself. Peary's intentions were to send Eskimos south from his ship to Cape Sabine this summer with news of his progress. The Scotch whalers whicll left Dundee In I May for Davis strait took letters for him in case their cruise carried them so far north. They were also author ' ized to take aboard and convey south any dispatches which might be lodged there from him. "Cape Sabine Is. so to speak, the last accessible outpost in the north. In addition to the Scotch whalers, tbe Newfoundland sealer Adventure, which has been chartered by tho dominion governmeut for patrol service in Hudson bay and will proceed thore In July, will also' go to Cape Sabine aud should renqji thero about Ihe middle of Augusts! ,Pcary's friends have requested that the Adventure mako a Special search there ."or records from him, and as -these are always deposited beneath a cairn In Lifeboat cave, the scene of the Greely tragedy In 1884, it Is certain that auy papers which may bo sent south by him will be recovered and the fact probably communicated to the world from the Marconi station on Labrador. It is thus highly probable that toward the ond of tbat month some news of him will be learned by the world. "It Is barely possible that with extreme good fortune he may have forced his ship so far up that he has achieved his aim nnd got, If not to the pole Itself, at any rate beyond the farthest point—86 degrees 33 minutes—reached by any previous explorer—the Duke of Abruzzl, who advanced that far ln 1900. On the other hand, the prospect Is that he may have to spend a second year there, working Into tho polar basin tbls summer and pushing poleward next winter and spring over the mighty floes which stretch to the apex )f the globe. Peary's most formidable opponent will be Wellnian, with his airship." Mfahnps of an Antomobillst. An English automobilist, C. S. Rolls, teUs of the things that have happened to him: "I have burnt my boiler out three times on a steam car, I was once stuck in a deep flood and had to hail a punt, once had to be practically dug out of a bog, was once stuck for want of a match for over three hours with my burners out, the longest distance I have had to walk for petrol was ln France—twelve miles; have three times bad a passenger fall off a racing car moving at a fair speed without being killed, once bad a horse and cart on top of me, in the Paris-Vienna race ran into a tree at seventy miles an hour, twice been overturned, once had my head mashed In by a starting handle, have twice run away completely down hill forward and two or three times backward, once upset an apple cart In the Strand, and twice had my car burnt up." Peaaal Trade Secrets. Some peanuts that are bought ready roasted are of a light yellow color. Others, however, are pronounced brunettes. There is a reason for this. The great American peanut will remain crisp only a dny or two after roasting and in damp weather only a few hours. It absorbs moisture rap- Idly, so that two days after roasting the finest uuts lose their crlspness and are io all intents and purposes as though they hud never been cooked. The Italian and Greek peanut men freshen up their stocks by roasting again and reroastlug. When the process has been repeated three or four times, though, the peanut begins to take on a tawny hue, which is considered objectionable by those who have stands ln the better pares of town. These much roasted goobers are therefore sold at n discount to Greeks nnd Italians who have stands near railroad stations and the cheaper resorts, who can roast; reroast and re-reroast them Indefinitely uutil they nro finally sold.

Thousands of women suffer from headaches, dizziness, langour and nervousness. Few realize that their misery all comes from the bad state of their blood. They take one thing fur their hend, and another for their stomach, a third for their nerves. And yet all the while it is simply their blond that is the cause of all their trouble. Dr. William's Pink Pills cure all these and other blood troubles because they actually make new, rich, red blood. Mrs. J. H. MclAi'thur, St. Thomas, Ont., says: "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done me a world of good. For about eighteen months I was a constant sufferer. I was terribly run down and the least exertion left ine fagged out. I slept badly at night and this further weakened me, and finally I had to give up housekeeping and go boarding as 1 was quite unable to do any housework. I took doctor's medicine but it was of little or no benefit. One day a neighbor told me how much benefit she had derived from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and advised me to try them. I sent and got three boxes, and by the time I had used them I could feel a change for the better. Then I got four boxes more and before they were all gone my health was fully restored. To see me now one would not think II had ever been sick for a day, and I can honestly say I owe my renewed health to Dr. Williams Pink Pills." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the greatest cure there is for the weakness and backaches and sideaehes of anaemia, all the distress of indigestion, all the pains and aches of rheumatism, sciatica and neuralgia, and the weakness and ill health that follows any disturbance of regularity in the blood supply.

The Turcomans, who live on the east eru shore of the Caspian sea, carrj their villages about with tbem whei they travel. As a tribe sets out on a Journoy every mun packs his wooden house upon a camel, which the animal can easily carry, and when a spot is reached where be and his friends in tend to remain for any great length ol time the camels are unloaded and s village started which It takes about an hour or so to build. It ts to bo remembered that the houses are real houses and not tents and that the settlement ls not a camp, but a village. The traveling bouse of the Turcoman ls a murvel of skill and Ingenuity and Is really much lighter, more portable and can be packed into a much smaller compass tban any of the so called portable houses that are manufactured and sold in some parts of our country. The frame ls made of strong, light wood laths about an inch broad by three-quarters of an Inch thick, crossing each otber when set up In position at rlgbt angles about a foot apart aud fastened at each crossing by the thongs ef rawhide so as to be movable, and the wholo framework may be opened or shut ln the same manner as those toys for children that consist of a squad of wooden soldiers and will expand or close at will so as to form open or close columns. One part or moro made ln tills way and all Inclosing a circle fifteen or twenty feet across form the skeleton of the walls and are firmly secured In place by bands of ropes made of hair or wool fastened round the end of each rod. From the upper ends of these rods similar rods bent near the wall and Into something less than a right angle are so disposed that the longer portions slope to the center and, beinf tied with rope, form tbe roof. Over this ls thrown a covering of black felt, having ln the center n large hole which answers both for a window and a chimney. Large pieces of the same coarse black felt are wrapped round the walls, aud outside these, to keep all tight, is bound another frame of split reeds or canes or of some very light, tough wood bound closely together with strong cords.

SUNLIGHT WAY OF WASHING FIRST.—Dip the article to be washed in a tub of lukewarm water, driwlt out on a washhotrg. and rub tbe soap lightly over it. Be particular not to miss soaping all over. THEN roll it in a tight roll, lay in the tub under the water, and go on the same way until all the pieces have the soap rubbed on, and are tolled up. Then so away for thirty minutes to one hour ond let the ' Sun* light" Soap do its work. NEXT.—After soaking the full time rub the clothes lightly out on a wash board, and the dirt will drop outl lmn -*1C garment inside out to get at the seams, but don't use any more soap; don't scald or boil a s.ngle piece, and don't wash through two suds, lf the water gets too dirty, pour a little out and add fresh. If a streak Is hard to wash, rub some more soap on it* and throw the piece back Into the suds for a few minutes. LASTLY COMES THE RINSING, which is to be done in lukewarm water, taking special care to get all the dirty luds awav. then wring out and hang up to dry. Tor Woolens and Tlan- rtels proceed as follows: — Shake the articles free from dust. Cut a tablet of SUNLIGHT SOAP into shaving"., pour into a gallon of boiling water and whisk into a lather. When just lukewarm, work articles in the lather without rubbing. Squeeze out dirty water without twisting and rinse thoroughly in two relays of lukewarm water.

And,in due course the last Dog Day passed and the day of the steeplechase dawned bright, clear and not uncomfortably warm, It'seemed as If half the population of Menagerie Borough Vurned out to witness the event, but bost of nil was Uie turnout from '-tat Township and Quonkvllle', each of which engaged front places for its best rooters. Benny Quonk and Larry Quonk wero the favorites of the one ►ido* and Bar- ny Rat and Orlbby Rat were the picked winners of the other side. Squire Rat stood out In front of the starting line and scolded Benny Quonk roundly for taking tho Inside track, so Benny said: "All right, you can have all tho advantage on your side, for all I care." And he turned his hopper over to the outside track. At last the four jockeys had their hoppers on the line, the bell rang, the starter cried, "Ready! One, two, three, go!" ond hoppety-hop-hop, away flew the four hoppers down the course. "Go' it, Benny!" yelled hundreds of Rats. im i i o-ii, yuu._ ... _-* »»Mj J*' vxr.ii"-^- a multitude of Quonks. "Good for Larry!" sang another multitude of Quonks. "Crlbby's getting ;here, all right!' shouted a crowd of Ratb. Hoppety-hop-hop went the hoppers almost neck and neck, !*•*lf way round the coarse, when, alas! fo** 1'atr*. Rat, he took a horrible header au . was put out of the race. Next came a hurdle, and here Larry Quonk fell' headforemost into a pooli and his hopper came down on top oj him, and after the hopper came Crib- by Rat and his hopper, pell-mell, Iter* bplash! That left Benny Quonk an easy victor, to amble In to the STOal and smilingly receive the bouquets and triumphant shouts of his delighted Cd-? low-Quonks. He was highly pleased to win tiu' Grand Prize, which he generously an nounced that he would divide with th-: fellows in an extempore banquet to bi given In Quonkvllle Inn. "Yes, It was a Jolly race" said he "but the best thing abom it wan that it has shown those impertinent'Rat-' their place, and hereafter they'll le-iv*: off their airs." TI-Il-RE was wild excitement in Quonkvllle one bright morning. On the bulletin board over the bridge across the street from Dr. Jeremiah Quonk's drug store, thu passing Quonks had their attention arrested by the following potter announcement: Attention, Quonk-. Biff nnd llttle 1 On the day following the last Dog Day, to wit, viz: The 13th of August, there will be conducted a Grand Steeplechase In the fair grounds. Only grasshoppers between four and eight weeks old will he allowed to enter the race, und the Jockeys must he young fellows under twelve months old. GRAND PRIZK of TEN THOUSAND EXTRA FINE BLUE BOTTLE FLIES for the owner of the winning hopper. All Intending competitors should give their names to the general manager, JERRY QUONK, Esq., No. 16 FrogViUe Row, not later than August 1_. No wonder the Quonks became wildly excited! For nut in the memory of the oldest inhabitant had there been a steeplechase held on the Fair Grounds (or any other grounds, for that matter). 'There was a tradition that about five generations back a ningniflcent stee- Teaching Elephants THOUGH the elephant is not carnivorous he is dangerous enough at times. If you want to teach an elephant to stand on his head, you have to be very careful Chains are placed around his hind quarters, and he Is then hoisted by pulleys into the air often enough for him to understand what is required oi liim. To teach these bulk/ creatures to pose is very difficult. One well-known position is one elephant standing with his forepaws on the hindquarters ot* another, while he flourishes his trunk In a theatrical attitude. To teaeh him to do this you have to pass a chain round his neck and another round his trunk. The assistants haul a .vay on the neck chain until the ar.i.mil begins to choke. Naturally, he rises on his hind legs in order to be able to breathe. Then the trunk cable is UttUled on, and the elephant on whose back he Is to place his forepaws it. backed under them. Curiously enough, elephants dislike this treatment and often, after a severe lesson, will attack their teacher, If you want a waltzing elephant, you will have to engage a number of strong assistants, who will push the elephant round, some at either end of the great beast. You then fchout "Waltz!" and all begin pushing. Soon the elephant learns to vhirl, on the sound of the word, of h'4* own accord. Such tricks as ringing a bell, grinding an organ, are simple and effective, i You simply put the ohlect In the elephant's trunk and shake it for him. When he dances witli tinkling bells round his feet, one foot at a time is lifted and shaken by the assistants, Whiney and Smiley Boy LITTLE Mr. Whineyboy came to town one duy.

Little Mr. Smileyboy came to town one day, Riding on a Grlnnergrif, laughing all the way; Chuckteherrles in his hat, Jolly lenves atop o' that, Round his neck a ring o' smiles All of the "very latest styles."

The genus gouania embraces upwnWI of twenty species of climbing shrubs, most of which inhabit the forest of tropical America. The most interesting of these is the G. Dom- ingensis, a common creeper in the West Indies and Brazil. In Jamaica It is called chaw-stlck, on account of its thin, flexible stems being chewed as an agreeable stomachic. Toothbrushes are also made by cutting pieces of chaw stick to a convenient length and fraying out the ends, and a tooth powder to accompany the use of the brush is prepared by pulverizing ti.d dried stems. How Old Is That EggP A simple method of finding out the age of an egg Is by means of the air space, which is situated toward the broad end of the shell If the egg is held up between the hands before a light in a dark room, tho air space can bo easily discerned. Tn a perfectly fresh egg the air space is very small, but as age increases It extends, until, when tho egg is4threo weeks old, the air space is about a sixth of the entire egg space- With pract'ee, the age can be told to within twenty-four hours. Biting Babbits. If you care for the health of your rabhits do not omit to clean their hutches thoroughly at least once a day. Look out, however, to see that you do not get bitten. A surly old buck or a doe with a litter of young may make a s'tvage attack on the back of your hand. It Is as well to put on a pair of gloves and use a small hoe with a long handle to scrape the floors of the hutches. plechase had been held, with the Rats as competitors against the Quonks for a grand prize of one thousand blue bottle flies, and that the Quonks had come out victorious. At any rate, the Quonks had ever considered themselves vastly superior to the Rats, much to the secret indignation of the latter fellows. Of late, indeed, the Rats had become openly abusive and dlsagreeatle They had got Into the way of flocking over to the Quonks' Saturday ball games, for instance, and calling out nasty things to the Quonks on the diamond. "Just look at Popeyes!" one yelled derisively. "Goodness, what a swell he Is under his chin!" another added "Grinny mouth!" criec** Tnother. "Banty legs!" yelled another. And numerous other Insulting epithets they hurled nt the Quonks, till the Quonks were thoroughly exasperated. "What are you, anyhow, hut u^ly, lowdown Rats?" croaked they. "The only time you ever stood up in fair competition with us we licked you." "When was that " _hri< ked tiu Rats. "In that steeplechase long, long ago."

"Well, sir, I had such a number of eggs that after I sold half of them and half an egg, half of what were left and half an egg. and finally half of what were left and half an egg, they were all sold and not a single egg had been even cracked, much less broken." • i\\ Brown said: "Oh. yes." and went on his way, having comprehended at once how many eggs the old woman had sold.

It is a good thing to have a dean, fine, intellectual development in a nation, to produce orators, artists, successful business men; but it is an infinitely greater thing to have those solid qualities which we group together under the name of character—sobriety, steadfastness; the sense o'f obligation towards one's neighbors and one's Ood, hard common Sense, Hnd combined with it, the gift Of generous enthusiasm towards whatever is right. These are the qualities which go to make up true national groatuoss,—President Roosevelt The men who have the capacity to workand are content to work are in no danger of making failures. Success ndver comes to tho man wfad is watching the clock fpr fear that he might work overtime.
