On Monday evening the third of those interesting events���������a ladies curling match���������took place, and, perhaps, this was the most exciting of all, as it seemed from the start that there was a turn in the tide for the married ladies. This advantage they kept up until at the eighth end the score stood 12 to 5, to the evident dismay of the hitherto victorious singles. Both teams were somewhat reorganized, the' married force being strengthened by their new lead, Mrs. Ilawke;: while the singles, owing to the illness of Miss Bomberg, their skip, were at a disadvantage, through no fault though of the substitute, who played with a will ana a might. It seemed to be though a.ease ol "faint heart" with the singles, and especially after their opponents rolled up a four end near the start. It was this, no doubt, which "rattled" the new skip, whose running shots from that outdid not always take effect on the right side. It was apparent to all that the ladiea are becoming proficient and the outcome will be that a much larger rink will be required next winter, and the male curlers may look for formidable rivals at home. After the game and the consequent'. congratulations and condolences the ladieB were served .;��������� DearSiii,���������In,,i\w. issue of, the Re- ,view of the.lSth ult., Mc. Harris published-, a Petition, which-was recently sent from hero to Victoria.' Apparently he is desirous of making.httle- of the gentlemen who signed the petition by referring to one or two of the signers who were-un fortunate enough to be jailed -lor drunken ness. I.migbt.sajv I have seen very prominent /people screened because'-they were fortunate, enough .to have 'friends to cash them away. That should not; make their crime any; less 'Lthan that of. the,two iinfortunates, who lacked . the I'riend to save them. For' myself, I would,_as soon see my name on a petition with the one class as the other..,;.' ' ���������M.r:'Harris ���������������������������cannot ..understand how. any one who is not actually'on his ground can have any right, or interest in 6oj( cting to the ; present unsettled conditioifof the town. ���������.; Every in an in Sandon, no matter whose ground he is oii, fully realizes that'capital has been driven i,wity from here inconsequence, as merchanls would hot buy and put up' large buildings, when", they could see' no way to secure a satisfactory title. Hence we have signed the petition, which asks the governnn'iit to settle ail differences!" The petition cannot hurt Mr. Harris if he has, a lega! right to the surface, and if he has not';'.-.'' legal right to.the surface surely he, iia an hciiest nian,.do,es not want to ; etairi'it.; ��������� s;. ;:';- ".;.;-,i There is here too"rnuch of the principle of "yon scratch riiy'back and I'll scratch yours." If you stand on principle, or what you believe to be justice, boycotirig in business -'should nor, follow.- In circulating tne petition many business people agreed with the petition, recognising the justice of it, but would not sign for fear of, consequences. It is too bail, that many are so controlled by sell'-int ertst or fear of loosing a few dolisirs, as not to stand up lor right. Personally I would not take one cent, from Mr. Harris unjustly,.and f I believed he was legally entitled to ;snr- face rights and tne government or the people of Sandon were trying to take them from him I would assiBt him as far as lay in my power. But I would ^york against my own lather if he laid claim to surface rights.as Mr. Harris has done.when thelaw.distinctly reads that the only surface rights conveyed with a Crown grant are for the purposes of erecting buildings in order to extract the mineral from the veins or lodes, and that the surface rights are vested in the Crown. Mr.; Harris has no right to think that because a man signs a petition (from a sense of justice) that the signer is his enemy. And surely a man has a right to his opinion, even if it should be in opposition to Mr. Harris. Can men not understand that the many liberties which they now enjoy have been bought by our predecessors with their-very lives as well as money. It would be anything but & delightfully pleasant world if all were wrapped up in self. Yours truly, A. David.

The salt absorbs the dust In sweeping, imparts a freshness to the colorn in the carpets, ;ind assists in the cleansing of the apartment. A cloth wrung out of a solution of carbolic acid and hung in a sick room will act as a disinfectant. Some persons sprinkle tea leaves on a carpet to lay the dust when sweeping, and if tho carpet is old, so there is no danger of fudingthe colors, the tea-leaf method is economical. If a carpet has a creamy background, with patterns of delicate pink and blue flowers, white cornmeal should bo lightly sprinkled thereon before sweeping. The carpet is thus'kept bright and clean, after the* manner of cleaning furs. , A fine oil painting may be dusted off thoroughly, then cut a potato in two and gently rub the raw potato over the surface of the painting, taking pains to do only a portion at a time, and wipe dry with a ,very soft old cloth.

"Did muzzie's precious little lamb think she had deserted him ?"

I have discovered jusL how a baby cries when lonely. A few minutes after you went shopping, he began to whine softly to himself, and to wander about as if searching for some one. Then he let out a yell. When I spoke to him and asked him what was the matter he drew down the corners of hifci mouth and began . to cry in earnest. The sounds he made wero all variations of the vowels, altogether devoid ol consonants.

Knrl Von It licit Began Where Koch Jtcrt Off. mm u Said to Have Produced n r<������slt:re <'ure���������Interesting Results Obtained I'roin Its Vs<-. A treatment for consumption that will prove a complete and permanent cure has been tho will-o'-the-wisp that fcience has vainly pursued for many years. Ever since the day when the famous German scientist, Dr. Koch, announced the discovery of the germ, of consumption to produce the evidence that satisfied the medical world that tho disease was produced by a living micro-organism, the efforls of the greatest minds of the century have been centered upon one object���������the finding of some substance that would completely destroy the living, death- producing germs without injury to the body of the patient. The "White Fiend," however, has laughed to scorn the efforts of science, and tho death rate ,o������ consumption has increased until to-day, it is estimated, more than 20 per cent of tho persons who die in tho whole world are victims of tuberculosis. Everywhere the dreadful disease ' has gained its foothold. In England and Wales alone more than GO.000' persons die every year, and in New York, more than 50 per cent of the autopsies performed for other diseases have shown tho existence of the unsuspected tuberculosis. The realization of these facts has inspired scientists and local health boards to make the greatest efforts to cope'with its ravages. Tho discovery that much of tho disease 'has been transmitted from cattle to man has led to a closer examination of beef "-���������'and milk. The knowledge that consumption was infectious has resulted in the enactment of many HEALTH REGULATIONS that, it was thought, might retard the spread of the disease. In spite of all this, however, the "White Fiend" sitll ���������stands supremo, and hundreds of thousands of persons arc dying every year of tins, the most dreadod of all human ills. Just at this moment, however, wheii even Dr. Koch, who bus long been recognized as one of (he greatest of the authorities on germ diseases, has admitted that he had been uns was a limit to their power, and it was this that suggested to him that in the bodies of tho bacilli alone was contained the remedy for the disease. Even before he had announced the discovery of his "Tubercuiinum Purificatum," Dr. Von Ruck was making the experiments that he hoped would establish tho correctness of his theory. For more than three years he has continued these investigations, and the care that he has given to the matter has compelled the medical world to admit that his statement that his "Watery Extract of Tubercle Bacilli," as the new romedy is called, is EELIOS Of THE EED HHf. PRESENTED TO THE ONTARIO EUU- ' CATIONAL DEPARTMENT. A POSITIVE CURE for consumption asworthv of their attention. If Dr. "Von Ruck had been a quack, Physicians of repute would have given no thought <o his statement, but his t?mB������.������s a ba������teriologist, and the fact that ho has long been recognized as one ot tho best specialists and authorities in the. treatment of diseases of the lungs, stamps his assertions with a degree of credibility far greater than r,u wh.,ch has been accorded to any ol the discoveries in the past. He said that he has taken tho theory of Dr. Koch at the point where ho has admitted his failure and has carried it on to a successful culmination. He asserts that where "Tuberculine" succeeded in curing but 35 per cent of its patients his cures have exceeded 97 per cent, and the medical world, skeptical as it always is in regard to new discoveries, is inclined to admit that the remedy for the positive cure for consumption has at last been found. ��������� ���������'"c method of the production of the Watery Extract" is very interesting. ..'m, on RucIc describes it as follows: The tubercle bacilli are filtered out ol the rapidly growing and highly viru- ^"t culture. After washing with distilled water for the removal of the remains of the culture fluid, they are dried in a vacuum dessicalor. Next they are powdered in an agate mortar and then extracted with sulphuric ether. This extract ion removes tho fats. They are. again dried and powdered as before, and thoir furthor extraction takes place in sterilized distilled water over a water bath with a temperature, of 120 F. Tho proteids becoming dissolved in the distilled water, the fluid is then decanted and filtered through jtorcelaln, when finally the amount of proteids is determined and the preparation standardized to a certain per cent." Dr. Von Ruck's detailed description of the results obtained by the use of this "Watery .Extract" is equally as interesting.

It is not a new theory, the dream of a scientific mind gone mad in the vain search after the impossible, but a remedy that has been tried again and again upon hundreds of patients and under all conceivable circumstances, before it has been given to the world. Dr. Karl von Ruck is the discoverer of this new remedy, and the proof of his success is based upon the record of the scores of patients that have been treated by liiin. for in almost every instance the disease has been conquered and the germs destroyed. To fully understand the nature of ur. Von Ruck's discovery, it is necessary to go back to Dr. Koch. When !"'s great German bacteriologist astonished the world by the announcement ot the germ theory as applied to consumption, it was thought that it would oe a simple matter to find some remedy that would overcome the disease. ,,r- K8������h began his experiments along these linos, but it was 1890 before he announced that he had found a remedy in what he called his "Tuberculine," Dr. Koch s theory was that the curative principle was transmitted by the germs to the fluid upon which they had grown. That Dr. Koch was NOT ENTIRELY WRONG in-his theory was shown by the' fact that 35 per cent of the patients who were treated with. "Tuberculine" were cured. A few years later Prof. Klebs produced his "Antipthisin and Tuber- ouloeidine," and in 1807 Dr. Koch announced that he had found a more efficacious remedy which he called "Tub-1 in erenhne R." "Tuberculine R" differ-' M from the crude "Tuberculine". in In more advanced cases, out of thirty- seven, twenty-seven recovered, in ten the disease was arrested, and none grew worse. La cases in Ihe seriously advanced stage of those treated only- two have died, ;i record that cerrainly goes co prove that ihe discoverer has not. overestimated the value of his remedy. Another marvelous result attained by the "Watery Extract" has been the complete cure of tuberculosis of the heart. Up to this time the cure ,ot this disease has been regarded as impossible by physicians, as no instance of Us cure has ever-been reported in the annals of, medicine. The. treatment of this case by Dr Von Ruck wu's largely n matter of experiment. buL it was entirely successful, and this established the fact Lhat the "Watery Extract" may be, used with success in the cure of tuberculosis ia any part of the body. Unlike many scientists who have succeeded in miking great discoveries. Dr. Von Ruck has made no secret of the nature of his remedy. Marvelous as it is, he has given it to the world for thf benefit of humanity. Many physicians of repute in various parts of the country have already made use of the 'extract" with good results, and in his articles in the Therapeutic Gazette and other standard medical periodicals he gives full directions for the use ot the remedy so that it will not be his fault if death from consumption, in this country at least, is not reduced to a minimum. What makes the remedy more valuable for general use is that climatic conditions play no part in the cure, which in itself takes but three months. What this means to the world only those who have, been placed in a posf- tion where they could judge of the widespread suffering caused by this terrible disease, can realize, and if the future use of this new remedy will but bear out the attested experiments of the past Dr. Von Ruck will be entitled to rank among the greatest discoverers that the world ha.3 ever known.

' The presentation has been made recently of 2,500 specimens of archaeological remains, chiefly Indian relics, to the Educational Department, Toronto, by Mr. George E, Laidlaw, of "The Fort," Balsam Lake, Victoria coutuy. Tho collection contains upwards ot five hundred well marked fragments of pottery and defective specimens of various kinds which are valuable in many respects for- comparative , uses, and are therefore worthy of preservation. Most of this collection has been gathered in Victoria county, but Scotland, the North-Weat Territories, British ' Columbia, Texas, Georgia, Colorado, and many places in Ontario beside the Balsam Lake district are represented, - namely, Fort William, Richmond Hill, Guelph, Gait Woodstock, Midland, Branchton and Beverley. There are 186 specimens of stone axes adzes, chisels and gouges and although only a few,are highly finished, they are none the less valuable' on this account, ' for they indicate a general taste, or want of taste, on the part of the people who resided coterminous with the Hurons, in whose country tools of this kind, good .or bad, are rarely found.

Then there are the small discs ol stone and pottery, the latter evidently having been prepared from fragments of clay pots. In no other part of Ontario have there been found so many discs. Some of the stone ones and a few of the clay onus are perforated, and on neither side ia there a distinctive mark to indicate that tho primitives used them for gambling. If these specimens wero used for garubiirig. those made of pottery would bo dia- tinguishable for this purpose, when not bored, by their rounded and hollowed sidos.

The soil is almost afloat in it, and so freezes up pretty solidly. ��� When tho frost comes out the earth is so lossen- ed that by a sort of polarization the particles and atoms of soil and applied manures move about and coming together form contact combinations,! and so the foundation bf plant food is prepared. The dung of the manure being very fine is thus much more perfectly distributed than by machine work, this he calls using one of nature aids in our work ' and . both > saving labor and' getting the work more perfectly done. This is possibly' also the reason that in his business Mr. Wallace, so strenuously urges the use of Thomas-Phosphate Powder in the fall, winter and early spring months. He explained .with much clearness the action of capilar- ity and the hydroscopic water in the soil.

"But to -������������������make ourargument- more 'pointed,.we" ���������will have to make a comparison. ���������/ ���������With the. late sale of Soott McDonald's block' of stock, the Payne may .have cost the present owners'some-, thing over a quarter of a million, but even if it cost them a hiilidn and a" half,' or ?1.00 per share, it, would still, as an , investment, be away ��������� out of sight ns compared with the Le Roi. This Rosslund property cost the present owners'������5,000,000, so to make even 10 per'conf...dividends it will have to pay well on to .'550,000 a month over all costs of operation. " . ' , The Payne is now.running on the aamec comparison���������over costs of operating only.���������some $70,000 a month ; or SS'10',000 a year ; and even if! the prop- , erty represented .a million and. a half, it would be nearly 50 per cent.'per "annum to the owners. There are in the circuit of the Slocan, from Slocan City to Ainsworth, many properties that in time will show, up as well as (lie Payne,, and,' at the present time, th(i money sunk1 in the Le'Roi would buy up the half of them. That nioncy would buy up all in the one side of the Slocan, commencing at Slocan City, and in the profits of the future there would simply be 116 'comparison. Why, then, investors will not see things this way and turn their attention more to ���������silver lead mines is something most difficult to comprehend., Many capitalists are commencing to see things this way, and doubtless many more will see likewise at an early day, but the surprise is that in the face of the facts; a general conversion' has been delayed so long.

Before borrowing the government should exhaust every other means of meeting the neceessary demands of the country.' The comments of a correspondent, last week on prison labor in the city, .if extended 'farther,, might be of more importance.'/, It would.be a good idea if the,city fathers could' get down-'a quantity of logs' frbrh the,hills, at. a cheap rate, have ' the prisoners' cut them Into "firewood:, and sell the latter, It1 would be, a; step" towards -making them pay fortlieir keeping, find,.to' some extent lit least, a caution. ;'.',, , ..'.. ,.��������� The .Provincial.'government-'is now .paying put' a JargVsum for the keep "of prisoners inthc gaols and penitentiary, and getting no return. . This also ought to be!correct! d on similar lines to that indicated above. : Work ought to be arranged in the gaols;'even if of a transient nature, to occupy the time of the iiimates ;" and in the penitentiary,, those who have no trade ought to be tailglit one���������su?h as tailoring, shoe- making or something of the kind���������to compensate, for their term of con fin e- ment. It would, of course,' to some extent compete; with, private enterprises; bul. as it would in turn assist private enterprises by; relieving '.the people of taxation,"the benefits would be equal to the losses, Instead of the latter' being without. :an,offset as at present. The Dominion!government .niaUes considerable out.of������������������'prison' labor, in the penitentiary at Kingston ; and the Ontario.goyernmout.employs the labor in,making binding twine and in several other ways. The government of British Columbia ought not to be behind those of the sister provinces in this,.more, tlian in any other respect. J. J. Campbell, of the Hall/mines; is pressing on the S.onth''Kootenay Board of Trade what lie considers a solution of the lead question���������it is that the Canadian government allow the refined lead of all ore and bullion sent' to the states for smelting and refining, to return",to- Canada'free of duty. Mr. Canipbell's proposition is so reasonable that we cannot ���������see how any Canadian government can,refuse it seeing we have norelhun-iesiiv Canada, ". The operation of, such a law would help us considerably, as iii'additio'n.:to''an aid tohome manufacturing, it wouldplace us..oh . equal '"footing wi th other! countries, -enabling ;11'".'to export to other, countries than; , the United,, States'. This, however,' will not cure all tlie' difficulty niider which B. C. silver-lead mines labor., ; Tlie U.S. is our best market for lead, of which commodity we wiUalways have . a large,surplus. We require that.market and can only secure it to advantage by!free trade in ores, or the removal , of;. 'American duties. , ��������������������������� '".'. ":'',��������� ;-J PROBABLY" SETTLED. "... We understand that the government gave the delegation of mine owner? ���������from this-place,who interviewed that body on the eight-hour day legislation, to fully understand that the present custom may ^run along without any interference from them, and it is well it should be so. The disturbing enactment was a stupid innoyationin any case. Things were running along nicely���������capital and labor''harmoniously operating, and 110 one sought interference. If the miners ask for the reduced time the owners will offer a correspondingly reduced wage; and if the former are satisfied with the old time ways, the old wages���������which arc the highest in the country���������will continue. This is only fair, and w*e aro of the opinion it will remain so. It might be that some of the older, properties, paying dividends, could stand reductions; but it is certain the newer, ones and the prospects could not. Hence a change would mean a suspension of operations���������a serious matter to all. ��������� ' . , - Quite likely in the future, when the undeveloped properties become oay- ing and dividend payers are in the majority,, or silver goes up higher, changes may be made agreeably all around ; but as matters stand in this camp at present, it would be a serious mistake to allow anything to disturb past agreeable relations. It would be a hardship to force men who are willing to work ten hours for a certain Trage to stop-at eight and take less wages, and equally bard to make mine owners, many of wh&m are working on chances, pay the highest wages for re- ' duced work. Of course, if the miners insist on the eight-bonr day, the government will have to enforce the law, and it is idle just now to speculate on. what will follow. !No one wants to see the wages reduced to ������3.00,as cheapening the camp would seriously injure it, It is not all at a certainty that'the Provincial government will be acting wisely'' in floating the .?2,S00,000,loan which they, got power at tho last session of the House to float. With this on our shoulders , we would have' a bonded debt of $11,000,000���������much too heavy for a province of our development and population. It is :a fact the government might have to borrow one million or so to meet obligations, entailed by their predecessors; but careful and proper business methods could easily limit the requirements to thai. We are paying ������60,000 as aii extra per capita allowance to the schools of four, cities; $100,000 a year to" Provincial police, most of which might be saved ; by removing . unnecessary officials from the gaols, etc. of the country and by amalgamating'sundry 'offices another 850,000 could be saved; and by the Local government allowing the municipalities to tax their personal property, and converting tlie'unorgan- izod districts into semi-municipal corporations with power to levy their own assessments 011 personal property and, realty, the government,might be say eel- heavy drains . for .-public works and and local improvements. These much needed reforms, would, all told, im prove the governments financial position by- at' least a quarter of a million a year, and,which, properly managed, would obviate the necessity for loans. Botrowing by a government is like borrowing by an individual���������both eat up resources in interest. With this proposed loan put through, some $500,- 000 a year' will be taken out, of our annual resources for interest and sinking fund, and will lessen the! government's Mr. Bos lock /gave notice of rather! a sensible Bill, the other day���������that is to compel railway .companies to give passes to members, as a "portion... of their obligation, to, the State. * The weakness of the proposed Bill is, it does not go;,far enough���������it ought"to cut oil' the payment ofntransportation expenses to all members who get these passesfrom the railways. Iii the!past the railways, have been giving! passes to members with.-., tlie object of- .-influencing their support in the House. If compelled by law to give: these pasees, it will, relieve members from the suspicion of being influenced by their receipt.

T r .������ i t r A GREAT HYSTERY. -*-*-������>���������������������������������������������������-<a���������(>>���������������>- There war ono way, and only one, in which ha offended the -susceptibilities of his co-religionists. No argument or persuasion could ever induce him to set up a female establishment after tho manner of his companions. Ho never gave reasons for this peielstont refusal, but contented himself by resolutely and inflexibly adhering to his determination. There were some who accused him of luke- warmne&s in his adopted religion, and others who put it down to greed of wealth and reluctance to incur, expense. Others again, spoke of somo parly love affair, and of a fair-haired girl who had pined away on the shores of the Atlantic. .Whatever tho reason. Furrier remained strictly celibate. In every other respect ho conformed 10 tho religion of Ihe young settlement, and gained tho name of being an orthodox and straight-walking young man. Lucy Ferrier grew up within the log-house, and assisted her adopted .father in all his undertakings. Tho keen air of the mountains and the balsamic odor of the pine-frees took 'the place of nurse and mother to the young girl. As year succeeded to year she grew taller and stronger, hor cheek more ruddy, and her step more elastic. Many a wayfarer upon the high-road which ran by Forrier's farm felt long- forgotten thoughts revive in his mind as he watched her lithe, girlish figure tripping through the wheat-fields, or met her mounted upon her father's mustang, and managing it with all the ease and grace of a true child of the West. So the bud blossomed into a flower, and the year which saw her father the richest of the farmers left her as fair a specimen of American girlhood as oould be found in the whole Pacific slope. ' If was not the father, however, who first discovered that the child had developed into the woman. It seldom is In such cases. That mysterious, change is too subtle and too gradual- to he measured by dates. Least of all does the maiden "herself know it until the tone of a voice or tho touch of .1 hand sets her heart thrilling within her, and she learns, with a mixture of pride and of fear, that a new and a larger nature has awakened wilhin her. There are Eew who cannot recall that, day and remember the one little incident which heralded ihe dawn of a now life. In the case ot Lucy Ferrier the occasion was serious enough in itself, apart from its future influenco on her destiny and that of many besides. It was a warm June morning, and the Latter Day Saints wero as busy as the bees whose hive they havo chosen for their cmblom. Jn the fields and in the streets rose the same hum of human industry. Down the dusty high-roads defiled long streams of heavily laden initios, all leading to the West, for the gold fever had broken out in California, and the Overland Route lay . through the. City of the Elect. There, 'loo, we're droves of sheep and bullocks coming in from the outlying pasture-lands, and trains of tired immigrants,' men and horses equally weary of their interminable journey. .Through all this motly assemblage, threading her way with ihe skill of an accomplished rider, there galloped Lucy Ferrier, her face flushed with the exercise and her long, chestnut hair floating out behind her. She had a-commission from her father in the city, and was dashing in as she had done many -a time before, with all the fearlessness of youth, thinking only of her task and how it was to be performed- The travel-stained adventurers gazed after her in astonishment, and even the unemotional Indians, journeying in with their peltry, relaxed their! accustomed stoicism as they marvelled at the beauty of ihe pale-faced maidon. She had reached the outskirts of the city when she found the road blocked by a great drove of cattle, drivon by a" half-dozen wild-looking herdsmem from th? phiins. In her impatience she sMidoavorcd to pass'this obstacle by pushing her horse, in what appeared to be a gap- Scarcely' had she gotten fairly into It, however, before tho beasts, closed, in behind her, and she found herself completely imbedded in ihe moving stream.of fierce-eyed, long- horned bullocks. Accustomed as she was to deal with cattle, she was not alarmed at her situation, but took advantage of every opportunity to urge her horse on in the hope of pushing her way through, the. cavalcade. Unfortunately the horns of one of the creatures, either by accident or design, came in violent contact with the flank of the mustang, and excited it to madness. In an instance it .reared up upon its hind legs with a. snort of rage, and pranced and tossed in a way that would have unseated any but. a most1 skillful rider. The situation was full, of peril. Every plunge of the excited, horse brought it against the horns again, and goaded it to fresh madness. It was ail (hat the girl could do to keep herself in the saddle, yet a slip would mean a terrible death under the hoofs of the unwieldy and terrified animals. Unaccustomed to sudden emergencies, her head began to swim, and her.grip upon the bridle to trlax. phoked by the rising cloud of dust and by (he steam from the struggling creatures, aha might have abandoned her efforts in despair, hut for a kindly .voice "at hor elbow which assured her of assistance. At the same moment a sinewy brown hand caught Ihe frightened horse by the curb, and, forcing a way through .the drove, soon Drought her to the outskirts. "You're not hurt, >I hope. Miss, said her preserver, respectfully. .She looked up at his dark, fierce (ace, and laughed saucily. "I'm awful frightened,' she said, naively; "whoever would have thought that Poncho would have been so scared by a lot of cows?'- '��������� "Thank God you kept your seat,' the other said, earnestly." lie was a tall, savage-looking young fellow, mounted on a powerful roan horso, and clad in tho rough dress of a hunter, with a long rifle slung over his shoulder. "I guess you arc the daughter of John Ferrier,'' he remarked. "I saw you ride down from his house. When- you see him, ask him if ho remembers the Jefferson Hopes of St. Louis. If he's the same Ferrier, my father and he wero pretty thick.'' "Hadn't you better come and ask yourself?' she asked demurely. The young follow seemed pleased at the suggestion,, and his dark eyes sparkled with pleasure. "I'll do so,' he said; we've been in (he mountains for two months, and are not over and above in visiting condition. He must take us as he finds us." "He has a good deal to thank you for, and so have I,' she answered; "he s awful fond of me. If those cows had jumped on me, he'd have never got over it.' "Neither would I," said her companion. "You? Well, I don't see that it would make much matter to you. anyhow. You ain't even a friend of ours.' The young hunter's dark face grew so gloomy over this remark that Lucy Ferrier laughed aloud. "There I didn't mean that,' she said; "of course, you are a friend now. You must come and see us. Now 1 must push along, or father won't (rust me with his business any more. Good-by.'' "Good-by,'' he answered, raising his broad sombrero, and bending over her little hand. She wheeled her mustang round, gave it a cut with her riding- whip, and darted away down the broad road in a rolling cloud of dust. Young Jefferson Hope rodo on with his companions, gloomy and tacilurn. He and (hey had ,bcen among the Nevada Mountains prospecting for silver, and were returning to Salt Lake City in the hope of raising capital enough to work some lodes which (hey had discovered. He had been as keen as any of them upon tho business until this sudden incident had drawn his thoughts into another channel. The sight of the fair young girl, as frank and wholesome as the Sierra breezes, had stirred his volcanic, untamed heart to its very' depths. When she had vanished from his sight, he realized that a crisis had come in his life, and that neither silver speculation nor any other question could ever be of such importance to him as this new and all-absorbing one. The love which had sprung up in his heart was not the sudden, changeable fancy oil .1 boy, but rather the wild, fierce passion of a man of,; strong will and imperious temper.. He had been accustomed to succeed in all that he undertook. He swore in his heart he would not fail in this if human effort and human perseverance could render him successful. ' . '.'.''- Ho called on John Ferrier, that night and many times again, until his face was a familiar one at the" farmhouse. John, cooped up in the valley and al>- sorbed in his work had little chance of learning'.the news of the outside world' during the last twelve years. All this Jefferson' Hope was! able to tell him and in a styl3 which interested Lucy as well as her father. He had been a pioneer in California, and could narrate many a strange tale of fortunes made and fortunes lost in those wild halcyon days. H'e had been a scout; too, and a trapper, a silver explorer, and a ranchman. Wherever stirring adventures . were to be had, Jefferson Hope had been there in search of them. He soon became a favorite with the old farmer, who spoke eloquently of his virtues. On such occasions Lucy was silent, but her blushing cheek and her bright, happy eyes showed only too clearly that her young heart was no lonjrer her own: Her honest father may not have observed iheso symptoms, but they were assuredly not thrown away upon the man who had won her affections. It wits a summer evening when lie came galloping down the road and pulled up at the gate. She was at. (he doorway, and came down to meet him. He threw the. bridle, over the fence and strode up the pathway. "I am off, Lucy," he .said, taking her two hands in his, and gazing tenderly down into her face; '" I won't ask you to come with me, now, but will you be ready to come when I am here again ?" ������������������ "And when will that be?" she asked, blushing and laughing. /, " A couple of months at the outside. T will come and claim you then, my darling. There's no one who can stand between us.' "And how about, father?" she asked. ,.'���������'- ���������" He has given his consent, provided we get these mines working ah right. I have no fear on that, head." . " Oh, well, of course, if you and lather have arranged it. all. there's no more to bo said," she whispered with her cheek against his broad breast. "Thank God 1" he said, hoarsely, stooping and kissing her. " 11 is settled then. The longer I stay the harder it will be to' go. They are waiting for me at the canon. Good-by, my own darling���������good-by. In two months you shall see me." He lore himself from her as he spoke, and, flinging himself upon his horse, galloped furiously away, never even looking round, as' though afraid that his resolution might, fail him if he took one glance at what ho was leav ing. She stood at the gate, gazing after him until he vanished from her sight. Then she walked back into tho house, the happiest girl in all Utah. CHAPTER III. Three weeks had passed since Jefferson Hope and his comrades had departed from Salt Lake City. John Ferrier's heart was sore within1 him when ho thought of tho young man's return, and of the impending Joss of his adopted child. Yet her bright and happy face reconciled him to tho arrangement more than any argument could have done. He had always determined deep down in his resolute heart, that nothing would ever induce him lo allow his daughter to wed a Mormon. Such a marriage he regarded as no marriage at all, but as a shame and a disgrace. Whatever he might think of I he Mormon doctrines, upon that ono point he. was inflexible. He had to seal his mouth on the subject, however, for to express an unorthodox opinion was a dangerous ' matter in those days in the Land of the Saints. . Yes. a dangerous matter���������so dangerous that oven the most saintly dared only whisper , thoir religious opinions with bated breath, lest something which fell from their lips might; be misconstrued and bring down a swift retribution upon ��������� hem. The victims of persecution had now turned persecutors on their own! account, and persecutors of the most terrible description. Not the Inquisition of Seville, nor the German Vehmgericht, nor the secret societies of Haly, were over able to put a more formidable machinery in motion that) that -which cast a cloud over the Territory of Utah. Its invisibility, and the mystery which was attached to it, made this organization doubly terrible. It appeared to be omniscient and omnipotent, and yet was neither seen nor heard. The man who held out against Ihe church vanished away, and none knew whither he had gone, or what had befallen him. His wife and children awaited him at home,, but no father ever returned to tell them how he had fared at the hands of his secret judges. A rash word or a hasty act was followed by annihilation, and yet none knew what the nature might be of this terrible power which was suspended over (hem. No wonder that men went about in fear and trembling, and that oven in ihe heart of the wilderness they dared not whisper the doubts which oppressed them. At first this vague and terrible power exercised only, upon the recalcitrants, who, having embraced tho Mormon faith, wished afterward to pervert or to abandou it. Scon, bow- ever, it took a wilder range. The supply of adult women was running .^horl, and polygamy, without a femilo population on which to draw, was a barren doctrine , indeed. Strange tumours, began 10 be bandied about��������� rumors ol murdered immigrants and rifled camps in regions where Indians had never been seen. Fresh women appeared inthcharemsi of ihe oideis���������women who pined and wept, and boroupm their faces the traces of uno.\tiugui:=h- able horror. Belated wandorers upon the mountains spoke of gaogs of armed men, masked, stealthy, and noiseless, who flitted by thorn in the darkness. These tales and rumors took substance and shape, and were corroborated and recorroborated, until they resolved themselves into a definite name. To this day, in the lonely ranches of the West, the name of the Danite Band, or the Avenging Angels, is a sinister and an ill-ome.'.iod one., . Fuller knowledge of the organization which'produced such fc-rriblo results served to! increase rather than to lessen the horror which it inspired in the minds of. men. Ndho knew who belonged to this ruthless society. The names of the participators in the deeds of blood and violence, done tinder the name of religion, were kept profoundly secret. -The very friend to whom you communicated your misgivings as to the prophet and his mi s- siou/rnight be one o������ those who w'ould conic, forth at night with fire' and sword to exact a terrible reparation. Hence every .man', feared his neighbor, and none spoke of tho things which were nearest his heart. One fine morning, John Ferrier was about to set out to his wheat-fields, when ho heard the ciick of the latch, and, looking through the window, stiyi a stout, sandy-haired, middle-aged man coming up! the pathway. His heart leaped to his inoulh, for this was 11011c other than the great Brig- ham Young himself. Full of trepidation���������for he knew that such a visit boded him little good���������Ferrier van to the door to greet the Mormon chief. The. latter, however, received his salutation coldly,' and followed him with a stern face into the sitting-room. '���������Brother Ferrier," lie said, taking a scat, and eyei'iiy the farmer keenly from under his light-colored eyelashes, "the true believers have been good friends to you. We picked you up when you were starving in; the desert, we shared our food with you, led you safe 'to'the-Chosen Valley, gave you a goodly share of land, and allowed you to wax rich under our protection. Is not this so?" ��������� "It .is so," answered John Ferrier. "In-.return for all this, w-c asked but one condition; that was, that you should embrace the true faith, and conform in every way to its usages, This) you promised to do; and this, if common report says truly, you have neglected." "And how have I neglected it?' asked Ferrior, throwing out his hands in expostulation. "Have I not given to the common fund ?.; Have I' not attended at the temple? Have I.not���������"i "Where are your wives?" asked Young, looking round him. "Call them in, that I may greet them."- "It is true that I have not married," Ferrier answered., "But women were few, and there were many who had better claims than I. I was not' a lonely man; I had my daughter to attend, lo my wants." "It is of that daughter that I would speak to you," said; the leader of the Mormons. "She has. grown to be the flower of Utah, and has found favor in the eyes of many who are high in the land." John Ferrier groaned internally. "There are stories of her which I would fain disbelieve���������stories that she is sealed to some Gentile. This must be the gossip of idle tongues. What is the thirteenth rulo in the code of tho sainted Joseph Smith?" 'Let every maiden of the true faith marry one of tho elect; for if she wed a Gentile, sho commits a grievous sin.' This being so, it is impossible that you, who profess the holy creed, should suffer your daughter to violate it." I John Ferrier made no answer, but he played nervously with his riding- whip. "Upon this one point your whole faith shall bo tested���������so it has been decided, in the Sacred Council of Four. The girl is young, and wo would not have her wed gray hairs, neither would we deprive her of all choice. Wc elders have many wives but our children must also bo provided. Stanger- son has a son, and Drebber has a son, and either of them would gladly wol- oomo your daughter lo their house. Let her choose between them. They are young and rich, and of the true faith. What say you lo that ?" Ferrier remained silent for some time with his brows knitted. "You will give us time," he" said at last. "My daughter is very young��������� she is scarce of an age to marry." "She shall have a month lo choose," said Young, rising from his seat. "At tho end of that time she shall give her answer." (To Be Continued.) iHHMilMj GREAT NAMES IN BERLIN.

It is nothing more nor.less than a minister of the Gospel who openly runs a public house. The Established Church is far from being teetotal in its doctrines as teetotalism, even among the more rigorous of the sects, has never been popular in England. The publio' house came into, the possession of tlie parish of which Bcv. Osbert Mordaunt, the gentleman in question, was the rector, through, the will of an eccentric old miser, who, perhaps, as much in irony as good faith, left it to the vestry in charge for the benefit of the poor of the parish. Whsn this was made publio (h-3 reverend gentleman, consulted several temperance reformers, who, of course, advised htm to sell immediately. The majority of the vestry, however, were in favor of running the place on equitable terms, and devoting the proceeds to the purpose prescribed. The result has been successful beyond expectation, an appreciable income being each year derived for clothing, coal, etc. The principles are as follows: " '���������' 1.

Since the success of the plaoe several English ministers havo taken out licenses on the same plan, and in each instance are reaping a harvest for thoir parish poor. ELECTRIC TERMS. Tlicy Arc Simple Knougli Once Too Co Hie llxiig of Them. A consulting electrical engineer, who was asked to put one of the leas common electrical terms ia plain language, said, "I am frequently resorted to for just such explanations, and nothing surprises mo more than the huziness which still exists in the minds of even intelligent folks in regard to tho simplest electrical terms. Tct most people tho electrical units are still mere Greek, and comparatively few go to the trouble to take hold of the more common of them, such as 'volt,' 'ampere,' , 'resistance,' 'electromotive force," etc., and fix their meaning,, once for all, in the mind. A' man. who knows me only by reputation wrote to me the other day that he had done this with much satisfaction to himself, as he has now a far more intelligent idea of electrical doings than he had before. But still,' he said, from time to time some< .electrical words creep into the daily press, which conveyed nothing to him. He mentioned as ono of these, the term 'watt hour.' Now, this is quite simple. Tho watt is tho unit of electric power. It means the powor developed when 44.25 foot-pounds of work ' are done per minute, or .7375 foot-pounds per second. A foot-pound is tho amount of work required to raise 1 pound vertically through a distance of 1 foot. When this is figured down so as to be defined in "horse-power," which "is- undorstood by every one, it can offer no difficulty; and if any one to whom. ' the word watt is puzzling will remember that a watt is the l-74Gth of a horse-power he will have no more Uncertainty about it. Having gotton so far, it is an easy gradation to the 'watt hour,' which is the term employed to indicate the expenditure of an electrical' power of one watt for an hour. In other words, tho energy represented by a watt hour is equal to that expended in raising a pound to a height or 2C54 feet. An even easier way of fixing it is to remember that two watt hours correspond almost exactly to raising a pound to a height of one miJe. The understanding of such terms opens out some very curious facts to the uninitiated. For instance, a certain dry battery, weighing G.88 pounds was known to yield-130 - watt hours. If this force wenol (applied to raising the battery itself, it would lift it to a height of ovor ten miles. Again, in one hour tho energy translated in an ordinary sixteen candle-power lamp weighing about an ounce would raise that lamp to a height of 400 miles at a velocity of nearly seven miles per minute. Yes, it pays a man to expend a little pains on mastering the ordinary electrical terms." ���������������._������.. . COMPLETELY PROSTRATED. A <tnct>;>c I'.n-ns'.'i1 Tells How He Was Itc- storoi!

In the course of a few months I not only regained my health, but'increased in weight fifty jyounds.

V THE SAFETY OF STEEL BAILS. .��������� In England, micro-photography is applied to the study of the composition of steel rails in order to determine what changes are produced by use, and what the causes of breaking arc. It has been found, among other things, that a rail begins to deteriorate at the top instead of at, the bottom, as heretofore supposed. The first indication of deterioration is a hardening of (he surface of the rail under constant pressure from the wheels of trains. This -hardening is followed by minute cracks,: which gradually deepen and cause breakage unless the rail is removed in time. ONE SCANDAL EXPLODED.

Aunt Bcbie picked her way more delicately down the cow-path on the ��������� road-side. Her town hat hung on her ' stick and a new "split-basket" sat atop her head on her tightly knotted hand- ' herchief. Jo-Jim, the adopted son of this old . couple, despite their injunctions, play- . ed ill-conditioned pranks along the way. ' In Aunt B/obie's white-oak-splint basket wero ten dozen egg's, nicely packed in cottonseed, with a bit of lint-cotton on top. Aunt Bebie knew these eggs would bring a dollar and twenty cents. With this she counted on buying many delicacies to add to an Easter feast, mainly to bo furnished > by a basket from Tolstone Houso. That .never-failing Easter basket would contain a turkey, flanked with jams and "lightnin" bread," and real "white- folks' cake." Master and mistress never forgot these old quondam slaves at Easter-tide. -But at the first store of the short row of village shops Bebio came to fear that she could not get oven the moderate price of ten cents a dozen for the eggs she carried ; for there she saw what she had never seen before, a gorgeous supply of eggs, red, yellow, purple, gold, and never a plain white one among them.c "Fer goodness ��������� sake, Meek, what sorter eggs is dom ?" exclaimed the old woman. "I don't know, Bebie.' Hit beats my time I" "They are Easter eggs. The Easter hen laid them," explained the young clerk, facetiously. "You don't say 1 Not des one hen,' sir? You hear dat, Meek I Des one hen. Do she hatch, also?" "Well, not often. She usually rests up till another Easter." "Well, sho need to." "Can't I sell you some?" A gleam lit up Meck's dim old eyes as he drew his wife asido to whisper: "Boot-Jcg-blue want' set, Bebie." "Who gwin hinder?" Rebie had not caught the drift of his fancy. "A Easter egg mought hatch a Eastor hen.", "For true I" exclaimed Rebie. "Swop yo' eggs for some of dem, Rebie." "Even swop?" "Is you crazy ? Dozen fer one, and be glad." "What 'bout do other things us wuz gwin buy?" "Ain't what Marse sends al'a's 'nough and mo' ?" So Bebie offered tho exchange of a dozen for one. The clerk made the bargain, and perhaps pricked in conscience at so manifestly unfair a trade, threw in an extra one���������a great white egg with jU3t a tiny blue flower drawn here and there on its surface. At home in their littlo daubed log oabin, as they carefully handled the eggs, Meek raised the large one gingerly: "Dis must be de last of de latter. Hit so different from tho rest. Hit's tcearer dan de others, too." In fact, it was the only raw one of the number, tho only one whose pores wore not thick with dye. "De last egg of do latter is always littlest," commented Rebie. .. "But maybo de Eastor hen don't lay that way." "Us can't know fer sho' twil us git B.a de hen." "Dat's de truf. Us goiter fix ter git i good, full hatchin' from d������, boot-leg- . ������plue dis time;" . "Ef we! set her atter dark dat'il 1 make her hatch ' all pullets." ��������� "I'll make de nest of hay, so as dat'il insure pullets also," continued Meek. "Jo-Jim," commanded Bebie, "git out do w-hite flint rock, and when you hear me and yo' daddy at de nest in de oornder of de corn-crib, you drop de rock in do fircplaoe in do ashes, and if we keep it dar all hatchin' soason, dat'il insure do chickens hatched 'ginst hawks ketchin','em." "Put all de eggs in dis wool hat er mine," Meek hold out that uuiquo receptacle j "and pour 'em gently into de nest at oncet; dat'il make all hatch ��������� at ��������� oncet." ,���������".,, Thus with every precaution tho bootleg-blue was "set." There w;ere two treasures now to be fuarded from the prying proclivities of .o-Jim;.the nest of many-colored eggs. and a certain strong box, chained to the leg of the old four-post bed in the cabin. ' Ever since the little scamp could remember he had tried to find out how that box got there, and what was in It, but old Bebie did not herself know. If Meek knew its contents he had never told either Bebie or Jo-Jim. Old 'master had given it to his trusted slave to keep till young master needed it most. This box, this injunction, and tin old blunderbuss of a pistol had been given at one time to old Meek. A hundred times tho boot-log eyed and turned her strange nestful Of eggs. Before long tho hard-boiled eggs began to emit an odor so baleful that even Jo-Jim kept away from the crib- oorner. ! Three weeks had passed, and no sign of a chick. Another week, and yet I and start by soon daylight." another. Then, just as the boot-leg- blue was beginning to distrust the laws of nature���������"peep-peep I" And out of the great white egg, with blue flowers on it, came a downy something ! "You know, Bebie," suggested Meek,' when the question of rearing this strange creature was discussed; "if you want ter rightly raise a brood of turkeys, you must tako de broke shells from do nest, and string 'em on a yel- ler homespun string, and hang 'em 'gainsl de jam of do ohimbly." "Hit's a good thing to make any kinder fowl grow fast to burn do hat- cin'-ncst." "De flint-rock gwin keep do hawks off, but us'batter-set, a",sad-iron on end on do hearth now to keep off de squinch owls." Thus, tho creature was surrounded with every precaution from tho first hour of its hatching. It grew amazingly, but proved to be no Easter, hen ���������only a gosling���������and a gander at that! The old people, though disappointed, yet loved it, and when in time it grew to be an old, pink-eyed, snow-white gander, it manifested, in its turn, a strange devotion for Meek. It fol- fowed him to the field, walking beside' him as he ploughed or hoed. In the cabin it might any time be found squatting besido his splint-bottomed chair. The gander seemed, indeed, to develop .an almost-human understanding, for when, once or twice, hunger so pressed the old people that they talked of eating the product of the Easter egg, it scurried off and kept out of sight for several days. Meantime, tho adopted child, Jo-Jim, had grown up lazy, ill-contrived, ungrateful. He had stolen money from Colonel Tolstone, who, for the suke of the good old people, had refrained from committihg tho boy to be sentenced to -the penitentiary. When that year, after tho boy's theft, the Easter basket came as before, Bebie and Meek felt that love and loyalty to master and mistress, should, if possible, be greater >n their hearts than before. Jo-Jim was, like tho Easter gander, given to wandering off; but from these trips ho was not welcomed with joy. He was surly, ' abusive, even threatening to his foster-parents. He had, in his last wanderig away, stayed two whole years, and all this time Meek felt that the strong-box chained to the bed-pust was safer than when Jo-Jim had > been about the cabin. - The Easier basket was^lhis year looked for with more than usual pleasure. Bad crops and the low! price of cotton had made the times very hard for the people of the South. Many nights that winter Meek and Bebie had gone hungering to bed. It was Easter eve now and no turkey had yot come from Tolstone House. The old people felt forsaken and forlorn as they shivered over their smouldering logs. It was'the first time master had forgotten them since tho surrender, and now they needed help badly. Now and then in his misery Meek looked furtively and uneasily to./ard the box chained to the bedpost. The guardianship of that box had grown heavier year by year, yet he left that he must be true to his word to old master, and not give it over to young master, who was now himself fifty-eight years.old, until ho should plainly need it most. And how could Meek imagine want of any sort at Tolstone House? But Meek had reasons of his own for being very anxious to deliver to master rhat strong box. He had of lato noted about the cabin tracks of persons who had never come in. He suspected that Jo-Jim was returned from his wanderings and was prowling about his old home. Meek recalled with grief and fear Jo-Jim's never-allayed curiosity concerning the contents of tho box. He sighed a great deal by his fireside, and kept'his old pistol loaded. Dusk was settling down when tramping hoofs roused tho old couple by the fire, and then at last came the long- looked for basket from Tolsl one Houso. But such a small basket 1 ' 'You see," said the boy who brought' the basket, " times is hard wid us. Been got! in hard a long time. Us ain't got a turkey ourselves ; sold all our turkeys to git Mister Lewis home from de college at Sewanec. Ha goiter go to clerking at Mister Jenkin's store in town at ten dollars a month. Do ole place gwino bo sold mortgage-sale next month. I'm leavin' next week. Colonel say he ain't able to keep no servants." Leaving the poor little present, a package of tea-crackers and a robin- pie, the boy was off before the old people had roused' themselves from'' the shock of his news. . . Bcal w-ant at Tolstono House! Tho place was their ideal of all that was rich, beautiful and generous. . They both sat silent awhile casting solicitous glances at the robin-pie and tea-cakes. ''Hit's time for ole master's box," murmured Meek. "Nairy a turkey on Tolstone table Easter !" "Do place to be sold." " Turkeys from de Tolstone flock peddled on do streets in dat town 1" " De boy's schoolin' done, and he des fifteen." '-..' "Maybe deo'U des have boiled chicken to-morrow, and maybe dee won't have dat 1" " De boy elerkin', for his; grandpa's overseer's son." V There was a long pause, then Bebio said :,. " A young, tender goose ain't bad oatin'." ".' .- Now, though Easter, as they called him,, might, as the ages of geese go, by expected to have many a year before him, yet he could by no means be called young and tender ;.butt so he seemed to those fond old people. "Fer young master's sake," murmured Meek; tenderly stroking the gander's white head, as Easter hissed softly ' and upturned a; questioning pink- rimmed eye. ' "I done had more hunger dis year dan I knowed dar was in de world," declared Meek; "but I ain't say kill Eastor yit, fer myself. Us can't kill him; us must take him ter de ole place live; us kin hurry homo and let dem kill him." Us can put, him ' "I must carry dat box to young master." " ������������������ "You tote de box. I'll tote de gos- lin'." Latterly Meck's uneasiness oven the box had kept him wakeful; but that night the knowledge that he was so soon -to got rid of the great responsibility acted like a sedative; on the weary old brain. Not even the tramping and complainings of "do goslin'," tied in tho cabin by the foot, lest he should wander oft in,' tho old way at talk of eating, could keep the old man awake. Old Bebie, however, kept awake as long as the pot of the household remained restless, and it was lato ere she too sank into heavy slumber. But at midnight both1 old people were shaken roughly, from their slumbers by a loud note of terror from Easter. "Dat's dat ganderl Kill! him," said a muffled voice in the cabin. Then Eastor set up a wild shrieking. "Is you got hold de box? Hit's chained to de bed-post." Easter shrieked again. "Lausy me, Bebie, what ail dat critter?" "Hit des don't like de string." But Meek, through all Easter's screaming, heard the rattle of a chain. Instantly he snatched the1 old pistol from his pillow, and, cocked it' with a loud click. <- > "Lord, have mercy on me," groaned Meek, "but if you was my own son I'd kill you if you got dat box. If I don't see you git empty-handed out dat do' 'fo' I count three you is a dead nigger for sho." Then Aunt Bcbie screamed louder than Easter, and the two cowardly thieves made a dash for the door. As they leaped out tho two old people saw that ono was .their scapegrace, their sorrow, Jo-Jim. Meek made fast the door again. Rebie, amid her weeping for her adopted son, kindled pine-heart splinters on (he hearth and by (heir blaze tho two old people surveyed their cabin. All was safe. Easter hissed in exultation The rest of the night they sat by the hearth guarding their trust. Next morning at dawn tho; old couple] were off laden with box, basket, and blunderbuss. Struggling with their load of years and their burdens they wont slowly on their way. The sweet April air was all astir with' flight and fluttering of bird-wiugs. The fence-corners were blue with wild violets. Tho golden bells of the jessamine sweetened every swamp and field. > At last the white pillai-s of Tolstone Houso came in sight. The poor old people were admitted, and Bebie presented hor gift���������Easter. Easter behaved very handsomely at his. Ho turned up one bright eye on the master, the other on the mistress, who now wept at the gift of h?r former slave. Master, loo, must wipe his glasses. Meek put the box on the table before the Colonel, From his neck he took the key on its leather string. '; Old master had given it to him long years before, when the now staid old Colonel was a wild spendthrift. Meek proceeded to fit the key to the lock. After much ado it) opened. The. lid was lifted. Tho glow of gold and the sparkle of jewels shone before the amazed eyes! A yellow letter told a pare of the story. The Colonel's recollections of his early escapades filled up any blanks. "And Easter savo us all dat money!" cried Bebie, and she reiterated the story of how tho sagacious .gunder awakened them in the night. "Easter shall uever be eatenl" declared mistress. Indeod, Easter's age had already givon bond that he should nevor be eaten with pleasure. So it came about) that the Colonel's youug son visited a home of rejoicing iustead of one of sorrow. Tho two old people1 wont but once more lo their cabin in tho lonely- swamp, and then only to move all their belongings to a house of (heir .own in sight of Tolstone Place, a gift of young master. HOT CBOSS BUNS. On Good Friday, hot cross buns are eaten for breakfast or tea, out of repp-act for ancient tradition. Below is a good recipe for them. Sift into a deep'pan 2 lbs. flour, and mix with it 1 tablespoonful of ground" cinnamon and 1-2 lb. granulated sugar. Into 1 cup of milk drop 1-41 cup of butler cut in sj^all pieces. Place on the range and ./arm until the butter is soft. When warm add a cup of soft yeast. Make a hollow in the flour and pour in the mixture. With a spoon stir in enough of (he flour to thicken. When it rises so the surface is cracked, stir in a teaspoon of soda dissolved in a little warm water. Turn out the dough onto a floured kneading-bo'ard and work into it 1 cup of dried currants. Form into buns, and put into a baking pan to rise. Before baking cut a cross on each bun with a knife and brush with caramel. COST OF GOVEUXMENT. An ingenious Englishman has figured out the cost of an hour of government since tho beginning of the century. In France the figures show un alarming tendency to increase. Under Napoleon an hour of guvuriimt-iu cost 113,000 francs; under Luuio I'lulippa 150,000; under the second Republic,- 103,000; under Napoleon HI., 249,000: from 1870, to -1880, ,'107,000, on. account of the raising of the average by t he cost of the war with Germany, but from 1880 to 18!ll) the cost was -103,0(1!! francs an hour. . A French paper remarks that this a-ems to prove (he uudosirability of ��������� paying a govern- in ?nt by the hour or by the day; payment by the piece, according lo the work done, is the ouly way, it thinks. STAR ACCIDENTS. Every once in awhile a star goes out. It-loses its light oris struck amidships by another planet and knocked into smithereens. Our sun will go out one of these fine days, but don't worry; it won't go out for a while yet. There was a brilliant star called Catullus which entirely vanished not a great while ago, and a good long time since there was another of the Pleiades, a constellation that most people knew pretty well. There used to bo seven Pleiades, but now there are only six. Planets are not given to disappearing in this way, and when a planet is established it keeps a protty firm hold on itself, and does not give up its place very readily. A BOY'S WAY.

Dust-laden carpets and curtains, and soiled wall paper, are a menace to health that tho housewife " who look- oth well to the ways of her household " is sure to appreciate. But a cellar that is not ftry, well ventilated and free from decaying fruit or vegetables, is a far more serious one; and the very first attack in the spring campaign of home renovation .should bo made against it. It has time and again' been scientifically proved that tho quality of the air, which is breathed in the first story of a houso depends very largely on the condition of the cellar; consequently littlo benefit can be derived from the most thorough renovation above ground if the cellar is, from any cause, unwholesome. If tho latter half of March is mild, do not risk waiting for the warmer days of April. Have the banking removed, from every window and the door, and during the middle of summer, windy days when there is no risk, of freezing, open windows opposite each other and create a strong current of air that will rout microbes, foul air and dampness. Unless the cellar is an actual disease-breeder, this will insure a fair degreo of safety until the wea- (her is mild enough to give it a thorough cleaning and disinfecting. Choose a sunny day and have no " eat,���������-iron' plans that compel you to make a farco of 'purifying a cellar on any other kind of a day. Have every movable thing, especially every board and stringer that lies on a ground lloor, carried out of doors, thoroughly swept and scrubbed on every sido, and loft in the sun and wind until perfectly dry. Indeed the least thing in decaying wood should not be returned at all. There is no safety in any other course. Thoroughly sweep the ceiling, wails and floor. Give the walls two coats of fresh, strong whitewash, and whan the last wash is dry, sweep the floor thoroughly, especially close to tho walls, to dislodge any germs that wore brushed from the walls in the process of whitewashing. On no account neglect the liinewash, for aside from its incomparable disinfecting qua lilies and attractive whiteness, it kills whatever fungi have formed upon the walls. Copperas is the best-known germ- killer and deodorizer, and has the added merit of being inexpensive. Diaoolve a pound in a large pailful of boiling water and sprinkle it freely under every bin and platform, and in the dark corners. If there is no cement floor, and a hoard walk is to be laid in the most used places, the entire floor should be saturated with coppeias or some other germ-killing solution. In cleaning the woodwork, use soap and scalding hot water freely, not neglecting an inch of wood that can be reached. If the under sido of dump stationary bins and platforms-cannot be thoroughly scrubbed or.saturated with copperas..solution, fumigate them with sulphur after the rest is clean, and before bringing in' anything in the shape of edibles. This is most easily done with siilphur candles, but it .is less expensive to use sulphur in bulk and hot. coals. Close every window and door, except those opening into closets or adjacent.'rooms where you wish the fumes to enter, sot a coa. hod in tho- middle of tho room, and if any bins or platform:- arc high enough <o prevent. risk of fire, put pans underneath then, cover ihe bottom of some with live coals, scatter sulphur over and make a hasty evit, stuffing- even the key-hole in the door at head of stairs with, cotton balling. Keep it closed until'the'next day : i hen open (he. windows and doors-and ait- out thoroughly before moving in: If you h.'sve no wire-screens for ihe windows and doors try to inturest John in providing lliem.

New Way to Cook Cabbage.���������Get a fine head of cabbage, medium size) pour boiling water over it and cover until tho leaves can be turned back, which must be carefully done; take out some of thoso in the middle, chop fine, mix.,with bread crumbs, and soason to taste; put this mixture back into the cabbage and replace lha leaves to confine the stuffing. Tie ft in a cloth and boil until done. Serve whole, with a little melted butter in the dish.' How to Boil a Ham.���������Put a ham weighing ten pounds In a pot largo enough to contain water enough to cover it. Bring to a boil, gradually, then add two heads celery, two turnips, throo onions, a bunch of savory herbs ���������the vegetables cut into dice. Let it simmer gently four hours. Bemove the skin, sprinkle with popper, put in a few cloves, and brown in a quick oven. Mashed Turnips.���������Peel and slice; boil them gently in salted water until quite tender. Take them up, and lay in a colander until tho water is thorough-' ly drained from them, then put in a saucepan, mash fine, add butter, pepper and salt to taste; keep stirring until tho seasoning is well mixed and the turnips very hot, when they will be ready for the table. A BABY'S BATH. Soap in the baby's basket should ba absolutely pure, and should be used sparingly, for the child's skin is naturally oily and is kept clean by frequent bathings. It should be rubbed on the mother's hand for application, never on the rag. The warm wet cloth is for rinsing rather than rubbing purposes. Constant use of soap on tho baby's head often proves injurious, as it tends to dry the scalp and deadens the hair. If the head is thoroughly brushed each morning, the scalp will be both healthy and clean, and soap will prove a necessity only once or twice a week. Above all, in giving tho bath no not forget that the inner lining of the mouth requires care. Wash daily with a soft, rag wet in clear warm.water, and if the child enjoys it let him hold the. cloth in his mouth during part of the- bath, wetting it occasionally in order that the warm water may do irs cleansing work. It is not intended that the child form a habit of continually holding a wet rag in his'mouth, but this moment's liberty during ihe bath is both enjoyable and beneficial to the littlo ono, especially at times when the gums are swollen and healed with teething In every baby basket, should bo found a covered box in which are equal parts of borax and sugar. If milk begins to cake on the baby's tongue so that ii seems coated white, and cannot bo cleansed by water, sprinkle on it a tiny pinch of this mixture. The tongue will be cleausod and you may havo prevented canker sors mouth or an inflamed condition of the tongue and lip membrane. THEY LIVE UNDERGROUND. t*c������pl<> In j;iir<)( ft Who ������>rjr .S<-!iIi>iii >o������> in? 5,icSit ">r itaj. In Europe there are thousands of people who live underground. Barely do they seo the light of day, feci fho warmth of .sunshine or hear the singing of birds. They are like the cjvo men of old. In the sandstone and chalk and limestone districts of Franco, a. large portion of the population live under (hn surface, in the Department of Maine et Loire, and in a portion of Vieane, whole villages are 'underground. S. Boring Gould, tho English novelisi, has made a study of those queer villages. "I visited one near Les TCy/ies, on the Vezere," he says, " where the faihm ;md mother were.boih ill in bed with influenza in separate bods. 'I hn canopies were crooked up to the. rock overhead; The windows were without glass, mere openings in the one wall that closed the face of the cave.
