The funeral of Willie Griggs who died Tuesday morning, from the effects of being struck by an unknown person with a rock a week ago, was held Saturday afternoon at the A. M. E. church. Willie was a favorite with the girls and boys of the city, therefore it was an exceptionally sad affair. Willie was 20 years of age, and was a great help to his mother. His father died four weeks ago, two deaths in the family inside of a month. Willie's casket was completely covered with flowers. He leaves a dear mother, two sisters and one brother to mourn his untimely death. Mrs. Lora Laurie is much improved at this writing and there are hopes of her recovery. Revs. Allen and Winrow spent last week in St. Louis. We hope the sermon preached to the class Sunday night by Rev. Allen will be heeded by the young girls, and that they will try to do something to show their appreciation to parents and teachers. Rev. McCampbell and Mrs. Rosa Baily of Kansas City installed the officers of St. Venus Court May 18. It was certainly a grand affair, after instilation a table was spread and all were told to eat to their satisfaction. After witnessing the entire proceedings, it is now a question, as to whether St. Annas has been legally installed or not. St. Venus is the youngest court, but it is a good pattern for St. Annas if she would only heed. Well, the Lee Summit trouble has about ceased to be the leading topic. I wonder what our girls and boys will do next to gain notoriety. The millinery ladies are succeeding in the hat work. We only hope they will continue to do work for their race at least. We understand one of our millinery ladies (white) is very indignant because the club exists; of course she can't help her self, and the smart sayings she utters will not discourage the ladies in the least. A NOTABLE EVENT. The Grand Opening of the Masonic Temple at Jefferson City, Mo. On May 11th. 1905 Capital City Lodge No. 9, A. F. & A. M., entered its new quarters in its magnificent new building under very auspicious circumstances. This event marks a new era in the history of Capital City Lodge. The site once occupied by an old and delapidated building is now graced by a beautiful three story brick structure, modern in all of its appointments. Aside from the three stories above, the building has a commodious and well lighted basement eight feet in the clear, making virtually, four stories. The building is 64 by 24 feet, well finished and furnished with both gas and electricity, with water works and toilet conveniences. The new structure with its fittings cost something over $5000.00, which, together with the lot, from the state of things in Jefferson City, makes the property easily worth $7000.00. For a number of years Capital City Lodge has desired to replace the old with a new building, but the undertaking seemed to hazardous. Unstinted praise and great credit are due the present worshipful Master, Dr. J. H. Garnett, for his undaunted courage and zeal in urging and pushing this most commendable, yet doubtful undertaking and for his wide-awake and business like tact in stirring the undertaking to success. The Building Committee consisting of Messers G. W. Dupee, Chairman, J. S. Moten, Secretary, J. W. Damel, Treasurer, C. B. Lane, John Carter, and J. H. Garnett, worked hard and deserve commendation for the faithful discharge of its duty. This building is not only a credit to [Portrait of a man in formal attire, wearing a suit and bow tie, with a mustache.] the Masonic Fraternity and the race, but to Jefferson City. At the opening the following program was rendered: Music by the Mandolin Club. Introductory remarks by J. H. Garnett, W. M., who reviewed the history of the efforts leading up to the undertaking. "A retrospect of the Committee's work," by J. S. Moten. "Our business interests," by J. W. Damel. "General remarks," by G.W Dupee. "Race Enterprises," by Pres. B. F. Allen.

All day Thursday and Friday St. Paul church was the scene of one of the rarest events that ever happened in the history of the American Negro. The silver anniversary of Bishop Turner, the commemoration of the twenty-fifth year of his elevation to the bishopric. There were present Bishops Grant, Gaines, Arnett and the senior bishop himself, besides which the ablest and most eminent thinkers, writers and orators of the church. Bishop Arnett's call of the roll of the general conference of 1880, which met in St. Louis and elected Henry M. Turner bishop, was interesting and sad, for in the list were many scores of great and good men who have, years ago, gone to join the majority; only a few of them were present. Rev. R. H. Singleton, of Valdosta, Fla., gave a biographical sketch of the bishop's struggle in youth against the depressing environments, of his wonderful will force, his difficulties in the pursuit of knowledge and its acquirement, and of his gradual rise to eminence. Next followed the literary man of the church, Prof. H. T. Kealing, editor of the A. M. E. Review, with a paper full of pith, point and humor, and such a clear analysis of the physical, mental and spiritual qualities of the bishop, that, while true to his subject, exhibited unmistakable evidence that the writer stands in the front ranks of the literary men of today. It was piquant and sparkling. Rev. R. F. Hurley, D. D., of Trenton, N. J., represented the bishop in his civil war record. The bishop and himself were members of the First United States Colored infantry, the first Negro regiment mustered into the United States army. He told of how the first two companies were formed, how they drilled with wooden guns, and how Bishop Turner took care of them and advocated their cause until the government decided to arm the Negro Bishop Turner was appointed chaplain of the regiment by President Lincoln and was with them often, fighting himself in 18 general battles of the war. He told many incidents illustrating the candor and personal pluck of the bishop. During the morning hour a telegram was received from the senior bishop of the A. M. E. Zion church, Rt. Rev. Hood, congratulating Bishop Turner, and declaring that he was the greatest living Negro; also Bishop Walters sent a telegram paying highest compliments, besides many of the bishops of the A. M. E. church wrote letters of regret that unavoidable business prevented their presence. In the afternoon Rev. Dr. E. W. Lampton, financial secretary delivered a very eloquent address on the bishop and his financial work. Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey, of Chicago, treated the bishop as a statesman in a very forcible manner, and the gifted and cultured secretary of education, Prof. John R. Hawkins, of Kittrell, N. C., made telling points in the interest of the race and the marvelous career of Bishop Turner. Exactly a quarter of a century ago Bishop H. M. Turner was appointed bishop of the A. M. E. church in the city of St. Louis, in the month of May, 1880. He is now the senior bishop of his church, and without question, one of the most gifted, peculiar, original and remarkable men among his people in this or any other country. During the civil war he was chaplain in the United States army and attracted the attention of the nation by the remarkable sermons he delivered. His sermons bristled with eloquence, thought and striking expressions. He is a bold and fearless advocate, clean cut and startling in his views, and he has been often eagerly quoted in the famous journals of the world. The race is proud of him and his distinguish and brilliant career. THE QUEEN OF ALL HAIR TONICS A PLAIN RECITAL. Talk is cheap, and actions speak louder than words. In order to prove to the public that Glossine is the greatest and most meritorious of all hair tonics we will give free to every reader of this paper, not a sample; but a full size box. If Glossine was not the best hair tonic in all the whole wide world this offer would bankrupt us. Glossine, queen of all hair tonics is the most wonderful remedy for the human hair ever discovered and has astounded the whole world by its miraculous and mysterious power in lengthening, straightening and beautifying the human hair. It is the result of long years of careful study and the earnest researches of Miss Helen Martin, a beautiful and attractive woman who is acknowledged to be the most skilful and famous beauty doctor of the day. She is a wonderful and most magnificent specimen of womanly grace and beauty, and although now 58 years of age she scarcely looks to be 30. When asked by what mediums she had been able to so successfully preserve the attractiveness and beauty of youth, Miss Martin said, Why it is very simple to me and every woman be she white or colored, young or old or as ugly as sin itself can become pretty, shapely and graceful if she will only do as I advise. As a child I was never considered pretty, in fact I was not even thought to be good looking and for this very reason ever since I was a girl of sixteen I have made a study of such agencies and materials which tend to beautify and adorn the human person. In the glorious vegetable world which nature has so bountifully be-stowed upon us there are hundreds of innocent mediums which after my long life of study and investigation I have been able to successfully blend and formulate into various preparations which enchance and preserve the life and beauty of the hair and skin. I owe my own good looks and youthful appearance to these preparations which are the results of my life long work. As to Glossine I have never known it to fail to cause the hair to grow long, straight, soft and luxurious. It matters not how harsh or kinky it may be and I care not if it be short broken, splitting at the ends or failing out Glossine will positively make it soft, straight and pliant. It will give to the hair lustre, length, life and beauty and no head of hair can be so harsh and refractory but that Glossine will make it so pliant and wavy that it can be dressed with ease and in any prevailing style desired. It will restore gray hair to its former color, make the hair grow out on all bald spots, and on the temples where the hair is usually thin and unsightly. Glossine is highly, sweetly and most delicately perfumed, and its color and subsistence is very attractive to all. Seeing our great success and with the desire to trade upon our reputation gained by long years of honest dealing numerous unscrupulous firms are trying to fool the people into buying spurious and harmful compounds for the hair and skin that cause the hair to fall, thus cause ing baldness and ruin; mar and deface the delicate texture of the human skin. In their wicked desire to gain money, these people do not hesitate to sell the people many preparations which are dangerous to life itself. In order to discountenance and condemn such dishonest methods, Miss Martin has decided to give a full sized package of Glossine to any reader of this paper male or female who will send their name and address. Do not delay. Write today. A postal card will do. We will also send our catalogue which describes in detail our hair tonics face bleaches and other toilet requisites.

Fancy Prices for Relics For a love letter written by Robert Burns, the Scottish poet, $50 was paid not long ago. Yet a brass collar which was worn by Boatswain, the dog to whose memory Lord Byron erected a monument at Newstead abbey, fetched 21 guineas, while the collar of Thunderer, another of Lord Byron's dogs, realized 4 guineas only. Reasoning by Logic Ethel, aged 6, is just learning to spell and is much rejoiced over her progress. She announced with great glee to her father, the other evening, that she knew how to spell "in," and proved the assertion. A few minutes later she inquired, with a puzzled air: "Papa, does 'in' backwards spell 'out'?" Bovish Indiscretion A Pittsburg boy who left home to pose as a man was discovered wearing trousers much too large for him. This was easy for the police. If he had been a real man, he would have worn trousers entirely too tight for him, such as so many fashion plates foist on buyers--Buffalo Spress. Lives of Different Meaning It is noble to be alive to the littleness of earth, but it is nobler to become impressed with its greatness; to the animal life it is only a pasture ground; to ordinary men it is the commonplace world; but to him who lives above it it becomes a shining moon. Mean Fling at Scotchmen. A man who says he is an Englishman writes to, to, the Westminster Gazette that he has learned that in 1667 there were only thirty-six Scots in London, and that he now knows the meaning of the expression, "the good old times." Islands Have Disappeared. The "Royal Company's Islands," supposed to be in the Pacific ocean, have been removed from the maps of the Hydrographic Institute of the British Admiralty because all efforts to find them have failed. Easy. The teacher had been talking about a hen sitting on eggs, and, with the incubator in his mind, asked if eggs could be hatched in any other way. "Yes, put 'em under a duck," was the response.

There are in actual practice in London five women builders, two women architects, seven women house painters and dozens of women who are employed as internal house decorators. First Artificial Teeth. It has been found that false teeth were used by the people who lived in 1000 B. C. These teeth were made of ivory and fastened to an ivory plate by means of a fine gold wire. Austrian Old Age Pensions Under the Austrian poor law every man 60 years old is entitled to a pension equal to one-third the amount per day which he has earned during his working days. NUMBER 5 HAD TO HAVE EXERCISE. And He Got It By Bumping Into the Fighting Editor. The editor looked up from the congenial task of spoiling someone else's story. "Sometimes," he said, "I feel sorry for spring poets." He blue-peniciled another half-column into silent nothingness, and paused again to hark to the sounds of strife coming from the next room. "It seems to me," he said, "that these squeals are in some wise familiar to mine ears." He telephoned a "stop" message into the fighting editor's den, and the next moment that heated and dusty functionary appeared leading a battered wreck by the ear. "This is the fourth time he he's been up this week," said the man of muscue. "Can't I finish him?" The editor held up a merciful hand. Then in a kind and tender voice he spoke to the poet. "Why have you returned four times?" he asked "Most of your brethren find once enough." "My doctor tells me I must get some violent exercise," the poet said, "and this is the only way I can afford to take it."—London Answers. Duty of a Gentleman. On one occasion, having returned from playing poker at the club, my grandfather said: "When a man is hard up he should borrow; but he must devote his energies to paying back and remaining the equal of the man from whom he has borrowed. If he cannot pay back, let him he frank about it; for it is better to steal than to cheat." And again: "To ride straight and to shoot straight, to win money cheerfully and to lose it cheerfully, never to be boorishly in debt or swinishly drunk, to enjoy flowers and music, and if possible to be in love with at least one good woman, is half the duty of a gentleman." "What's the other half, grandpa?" I had asked him. "Why, to be a gentleman, of course." The People's Schools. The schools belong to the people and will be what the people make them. It is a mistake to suppose that school officers and teachers are the only ones that have to do with the making of the schools. The people set the pace for the teachers and school officers. If a school officer does not meet the ideals of the people he is turned out at the first election. If a teacher does not meet the ideals of the people the teacher is quickly reached through the school officers. So it gets back to the people in the end. The man that thinks the schools are not good enough should set himself about having them improved. It is astonishing how much one person can do to improve the schools when he sets himself about It.—Henry F. Thurston. A Skeptic in the Paw Your sermons about the Hereafter, Full of dim, theological lore. We greet with irreverent laughter— Can't you reach the Sweet Hereof? The hymns that drone up to the rafter, While the deacons contentedly snore, They pall with the praise of Hereafter— Let us sing of the Sweet Hereof. No glint of the walls alabaster Can we catch through the veil at the door— Portray the prenatal O Father— You have been in the Sweet Hereof. The foam of the ship gleams abaft her On a sea with invisible shore— The sunrise of every Hereafter Is the sunset of some Hereofore. New York Sun. Appointment Recalls Brave Act Capt. Harry Leonard of the United States Marine Corps has been ordered by President Roosevelt to the Chinese capital as military attache of the American legation. During the Tien-tsin campaign he risked his life by going to the rescue of a wounded comrade, carrying him to safety on his back across a fire-swept field, and lost his arm as a penalty for his achievement. In Women's Interests- Some New Styles. Shot effects promise to be popular, not only for evening wear but for day gowns. Shaded fabrics, also, are considered good style. This effect is being shown in blouses; a shaded chiffon is used, the top of the blouse, gathered full into a face yoke or a high collar, being of the deepest tone, and grabbably diminishing to the waist and the sleeves reversing in progress of tint, with the full puffed tops of the darker tone, and the frills below the elbow of the lighter one. Pink shaded from a delicate sunset hue to almost flame was employed in one such model; and another was core in shades of mauve. In shot materials, from mauve to blue is a favorite combination, and so is from pink to purple; green toning to pink is also a pretty commonplace effect and gray shot with golden yellow is effective in small portions, such as for a blouse rather than a full costume. Chiffon, thin woolen materials, and silk are all appearing with shot effects. Black velvet ribbon is still the trimming most in request for somewhat bright fabrics, when used as blouses, and also for white lace, chiffon, or soft silk; there is nothing to equal the touch of black. It seems, curiously, both to tone down and bring out all the value of the color. A deep pointed or swathed belt, criss-crossed closely with narrow black velvet ribbon, is one simple way of applying the touch. Rosettes or tight centered little bows in black velvet again are excellent, sprinkled down the front and on the sleeves with discretion and taste. New Laces The new laces are very interesting, especially the giupires, which are exceptionally bold in their effect and really look, when planted on a fabric, more like very thick, coarse embroidery. The embroidery idea seems immensely influencing the laces of the moment, and the quantities of net laces are patterned to imitate embroidery. In those laces that are formed partly of lawn and partly of giupure or net the embroidered effect enters largely; and here again, in the matter of laces, every team is consulted. Either very bold, coarse laces, or very fine laces suit, and just now there are both; while the white laces are extra bold the dainty laces are extra dainty. Truly is Fashion in sympathetic mood. And with the laces there is lots of that openwork embroidery that the Parisians call broderie Annalise; and this broderie Anglise laituring (it can't be classed as a lace, but will be used as a lace) is being very much vavored by the Parisian folk. Tips for Short Waisted Girl! The short waisted, woman should always favor vest-fitted bodices, not yoked ones; she should likewise rejoice over the revival of the high sleeve, which gives greater length to the appearance when in conjunction with a fitting sleeve than did the drooping sleeve. She would be wise, also, to have her waistbands made deep, but so cut that they descend more over the hips than they rise above the waist line, a precautionary measure very easy to attain with the deeply pointed belts in front. Suit of Gray Taffeta The popularity of the surplice bodice lines is apparent in everything from street frock to evening gown. The model is not only pretty and becoming, but within the scope of the home dressmaker. In this suit the skirt is one of the newest shaping circular on sides and back and with fullness gathered back of the narrow front gore. On the bodice the V-shaped opening is filled in with a phastern of tucked silk and a M tucker and stock of heavy all-over lace. A double puff forms the sleeves, gathered to a band of lace ending just below the elbow. The girdle is of the material. The Suspender Gown The suspender gown is new in name and design and sure to please the younger contingent of the fashionable world, as these gowns give a remarkably youthful appearance to the wearer. A gown of this sort is particularly charming when made of fine checked silk in one of the pale shades, with gulpem and sleeves of finest white batiste. This model was made from pink and white checked silk and the collar and cuffs formed of white bat tiste and Valenciennes lace. The hat worn with it is pink chip, with soft white silk scarf and pink coque pompon. Brown Silk Costume. Brown taffeta was used to make another costume, which is extremely simple, but effective. The skirt is full and finished at the bottom with three deep tucks. The tucker front of the bodice is all over cream lace, outlined by a shaped piece of velvet, which 1 meets the deep girdle of the same material. Velvet also makes the unique cuffs on the sleeves, and is of a contrasting shade of brown. Gold Hair Nets Falling to devise anything original certain leaders of fashion are seeking back through hundreds of years to single out some antique style and appropriate it as their own. Just now it is the "Juliet net." It is woven of slender golden strands, with many tiny jewels entangled in its meshes. As a head dress for evening wear it is becoming highly popular and more than one beauty who has graced a theater box within the last week has worn such a gleaming mesh around her low coiffure. The effect in every instance was so pretty that the weared divided attention with the stage players. As it was such a net that enraced Romeo, it still may possess some of its old suite charm. Serges to Be Much Worn. Serges have taken on a new leisure of life, as well as new fineness and suppleness, and will be worn more than in many seasons. The severe tight-fitting tailor coat in half and three-quarter length demands a maker of ability and a wearer of excellent figure, but given this combination, it is an exceedingly smart and elegant garment. In the model shown the skirt is laid in small plaits at intervals over hips, forming a panel front, and on the coat there are two plaits or each side, running from shoulder to bottom. A similar treatment is given to the otherwise plain sleeve. Green velvet is used for the flat collar. Jackets, Skirts and Long Coats. The jackets and skirts seem equally divided between the bolero, which has large sleeves to the elbow, and the long coat with regular men's sleeves to the wrist. With those coats plaited skirts are not becoming, but with boleros they are the prettiest. And after all, nothing is nicer than a semi-plaited skirt, devoid of trimming. Delicious long cloaks with enormous flowing sleeves and with a stole of embroidery are made up unlined, of painted chiffon or crepe, and worn over a underdress, cut low at the throat. This idea dates straight from pompadour days, as does all our coloring of the year. Here's Caprice in Colors. There is an exquisite new shade in silks called wood of the rose. It is in reality the reddish tint of the rose stem. This new tone is winning admiration every day, the color being ideal for day toilets. Chameleon taffetas are simply stunning for either street or house gowns, the golden browns and olive greens being the special colorings most liked. New Shirtwaist Suits. The new shirtwaist suits are evolving new uses. Made in fluffier fashions and with greater elaboration than the severities of a year ago, they have a dressiness that equips them for fluffier and dressier and more elaborate occasions. There are now shirtwaist suits and shirtwaist suits, for morning and afternoon shopping and visiting wear. Triple Ribbon Appears A new ribbon has appeared which has three thicknesses, each of a differt shade, all of which are held together by a single border, so that when drawn up they compose a triple ruffle. The same ribbon in rather wide widths makes into rosettes, and it is in this form that it will be most in demand for trimming hats. You'll Like This Lace. Among the new laces is Swiss bastiste, delicate and sheer, with Irish point combinations. BATTLEFIELDS LITTLE CHANGED Country Over Which Raged Conflicts That Made History Remains To-Day Much as It Was In Civil War Days The battlefields of Bull Run have undergone little change since the civil war. Catharpin creek. Young's branch. Cub run and Rocky Ford are still pouring into Bull run, and that historic stream rolls sluggishly from the mountains to Aquia creek. There are the same open fields and stretches of woods shown on the topographic maps used in 1861 and '62. Sudley Springs and Groveton are no bigger hamlets than at the time of the battles; Centerville has rather shrunk than grown, and Haymarket, on the Sudley road, which was a group of three or four houses, has disappeared. Manassas, from a mere hamlet at the junction of the Orange & Alexandria railroad and the Manassas Gap railroad, has become a small village and is the seat of Prince William county, whereas Brentville had that distinction in America's heroic age. The bells of Sudley meeting house and Centerville church ring out every Sunday, and old men pray there who listened to the firing, saw glimpses of the struggles, carried water to the wounded and helped bury the dead. Memorial Hymn Keep green their memories; day by day These pleasant paths with us they trod. While prayer and praise beguiled the way To this dear temple of our God. We knew not that the foeman's hand Was raised to strike the deadly blow; That over all our happy land So soon would break the wall of woe. The heavens grew darker in that hour When they, the noble and the brave, Went forth in manhood's pride and power. And passed through victory to the grave. Such lives can never know decay. New luster gilds the martyr's name. And greener, as time wears away. Is his immortal wreath of fame. That lisping youth and hoary age, While tears shall start and bosoms swell. May read upon the marble page How freedom's heroes fought and fell. —Henry S. Washburn. Those churches were hospitals during and after both battles. A shot from a Union battery, which made a breach in the walls of Sudley meeting house, is preserved by a member of the congregation. Bethel church, which was Fitz-John Porter's headquarters when he lay behind Dawkin's branch on Aug. 28. 1862, has been removed four miles south of its old site, but the foundation stones may be seen by those who will enter the thicket of undergrowth that obscures them. The Henry house, the Chinn, Dogan and Matthew houses, destroyed by shells, were long ago restored on their first foundations and are to-day as they were in '61. The Stone house still stands at the crossing of the Warrenton pike and Sudley road, and until recently was occupied by a Virginia farmer, who as a cavalryman under Stuart fought over the fields around the house. the first shell thrown from Tyler's division when the fight opened at the Stone bridge, is still there. So, too. The Van Pelt house, damaged by is the Robinson house, and Robinson, the old negro who dwelt there when Hunter and Heintzelman grove Bee, Bartow and Evans from the heights north of the pike to those on the south, dwells there to-day. The Lewis house, Johnston's headquarters, is still occupied by Mr. Lewis, and the Hampton Cole house. --- which figured so conspicuously in the Fitz-John Porter case, is standing. Mrs. Dogan, through whose farm runs the railroad cut where Porter, Sigel, Reynolds and King fought to dislodge Jackson on Aug. 30. 1862, is still living at Groveton. She is 87 years old and hearty. She likes nothing better than to tell of the red, grim scenes of war. The fields in that bloody square bounded by Centerville on the east, Groveton and Gainesville on the west, Sudley on the north and Manassas on the south, are as a rule, still tilled by the families who worked them when Prince William and Fairfax counties shook under the tread of armies and the crash of guns. It is believed that most of the bones of the men slain at Blackburn's ford, July 18, 1861; Bull Run, July 21, 1861; Stone bridge and Gainesville, Aug. 27 and 28, 1862, and Groveton and Sudley, Aug. 29 and 30, 1862, have been exhumed. Those recovered from the Federal positions were removed to Arlington, where many hundreds are heaped under the monument to the "Unknown." day trod, e way and ow; woe. our ve. pow- the ne. osoms fell. urn. and many other hundreds are buried in individual graves marked with a little slab also inscribed "Unknown." Bones dug from the Confederate positions in the first battle are interred under a red sandstone shaft at Manasas, five miles south of the central fighting ground. This shaft is inscribed "Dedicated by the Ladies' Memorial Association of Manassas on August 30, 1889, to the Heroes of Virginia and Her Sister States, Who Yielded Their Lives on July 18 and 21, 1861, and August 29 and 30, 1862, in Defence of the Confederate Cause." Close by the Henry house there is a rude monument erected "In Memory of the Patriots Who Fell at Bull Run. Erected June 10, 1865." In a bit of cedar woods by the railroad cut at Groveton there is another little Union monument "In Memory of the Patriots Who Fell at Groveton August 28, 29 and 30, 1862." There is no Confederate monument on the battlefield. Bones taken from the Confederate lines of the second battle are buried on a knoll at Groveton. As the positions of the armies often overlapped, it is safe to believe that northern and southern soldiers are mingled at Arlington and Manassas. Identification of the bones at Groveton was not difficult, for while the Confederate dead were buried in deep trenches, the Union soldiers who fell near the "cut," the place of greatest slaughter, were not given sufficient burial. Earth was simply shoveled over the poor corpse where they lay. The first heavy rain washed away the earth and exposed the remains. This statement is made on authority of Mrs. Dogan, who, ordered from the field by Jackson's men as the fighting began, returned to her farm before the removal of all the wounded or the burial of the dead. Reminders of the fighting are ever coming to light. Hunters often come, upon skeletons in woods far from the field. These are the bones of men who, wounded, straggled off and died. With each spring plowing bones of men and horses, buckles, canteens, bayonets, gun barrels and buttons are upturned. Around some of the farm houses are big piles of solid shot and broken shell. Tons of this battlefield iron have been collected and sold as scrap-iron. Nearly every farmer in the neighborhood has a collection of swords, guns and bayonets gathered from the field. When the Groveton monument was dedicated three years after the last Cen. U.S. GRANT battle, the fields were still thickly strewn with weapons and articles of soldiers' equipment. The line of railroad bed (the road was never finished) along which Jackson formed from Gainsville to Sudley is well preserved, though overgrown with pine and cedar. Earthworks around Manassas and Centerville clearly mark the camps of Boauregard and McDowell. There are no earthworks on the fighting ground. None was built. On the Henry farm stakes have been driven to mark where Col. Cameron of the 79th New York and Gen. Bee were killed, where Rickett's battery was cut to pieces and where Wade Hampton was wounded. In a dense woodland off the field two bits of board tell that Gens. Willcox and Kirby Smith were shot there. A rail fence stands just where the rail fence stood along which Jackson's brigade was drawn up when Gen. Bee gave Jackson the soubriquet of "Stonewall." The place on the Chinn hill where Col. Fletcher Webster, son of Daniel Webster, was killed in the second battle is pointed out by the people who live there. What "Etc." Means. An English schoolboy was asked what "etc.' meant. "It is a sign used in writing to make people think you know more than you do." Health- Economy Alabastine ..... Your Walls Alabastine produces exquisitely beautiful effects on walls and ceilings. Easy to apply, simply mix with cold water. Better than kalsomine, paint or wall paper. It is not a kalsomine, it is a sanitary, permanent, cement coating, which hardens on the walls, destroying disease germs and vermin, never rubbing or scaling. Kalsomines mixed with either hot or cold water soon rub and scale off, spoiling walls, clothing and furniture. They contain glue, which decays and nourishes the germs of deadly disease. If your druggist or hardware dealer will not get Alabastine, refuse substitutes and limitations and order of use for kalsomine and dips and information about decorating ALABASTINE COMPANY One night Sir Henry Irving, on getting into a cab, gave the driver a fine Havana cigar. By the time the end of the journey was reached the cabby was putting on alrs. His hat was on one side and, sitting bolt upright, he was smoking with keen enjoyment—an enjoyment that rejoiced the heart of the actor, who told him he was glad he liked the cigar. "Yes I do, I never dreamed of such tobacco!" Thereupon Irving gave him another cigar of the same brand, with the injunction to smoke it after supper, "No, sir, I won't, for the very smell of such a cigar as in this my house would make the landlord double my rent." GRIP'S UGLY SEOUEL GRIP'S UGLY SEOUEL KNEES STIFF, HANDS HELPLESS, RHEUMATISM NEAR HEART. Mrs. Van Scoy Experiences Dangerous After-Effects from Grip and Learns Value of a Blood Remedy. The grip leaves behind it weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired digestion and over-sensitive nerves—a condition that makes the system an easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, nervous prostration, and even consumption. The story told by scores of victims of the grip is substantially the same. One was tortured by terrible pains at the base of the skull; another was left tired, faint and in every way wretched from anemia or scantiness of blood; another had horrible headaches, was nervous and couldn't sleep; another was left with weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and acute neuralgia. In every case relief was sought in vain until the great bloodbuilder and nerve-tonic, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and thoronginess of action nothing is known that will approach it. Mrs. Van Scoy makes a statement that supports this claim. She says: "I had a severe attack of grip and, before I had fully recovered, rheumatism set in and tormented me for three months. I was in a badly run-down state. Soon after it began I was so lame for a week that I could hardly walk. It kept growing steadily worse and at last I had to give up completely and for three weeks I was obliged to keep my bed. My knees were so stiff I couldn't bend them, and my hands were perfectly helpless. Then the pain began to threaten my heart and thoroughly alarmed me. "While I was suffering in this way I chanced to run across a little book that told about the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The statements in it impressed me and me to buy a box. These pills proved the very thing I needed. Improvement set in as soon as I began to take them, and it was very marked by the time I had finished the first box. Four boxes made me a well woman." Mrs. Laura M. Van Scoy lives at No. 20 Thorpe street, Danbury, Conn. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are equally well adapted for any other of the diseases that follow in the train of grip. They are sold by all druggists. There are fifty makes of typewriters, all of which are likely to be considered the worst—except the one you are accustomed to using.

"Is your husband very confidential with you?" "Very. He tells me everything he suspects I've found out about him." King Emmanuel of Italy has given J. Pierpont Morgan the Grand Cordon of St. Lazarus. If the king will look up the parable in the New Testament he will see that Lazarus and the Rich Man where not on the best of terms. You can at least put your pride in your pocket when it is empty. THE WRONG WAY TO WALK Inelegant and Slovenly Gait Noticed All Too Frequently. Walking—one of the most popular and beneficial exercises—is well discussed in Good Housekeeping: Very stout or slouchy people allow the abdomen to "lead." Brain workers, worriers, all nervous and physically uncultivated people, let their heads lead; the head is further advanced than any other part of the person. Dyspeptics whose thoughts are centered on their stomachs, often unconsciously lead with the waist line just over the offending organ. Occasionally a weak-willed person permits the knees to lead. When a thin, bad walker moves rapidly, there often seems to be a race between nose and knees, and you watch to see which will arrive at the goal first. When a young woman's skirt and a young man's trousers show a bulging shape over the knees, their owners are leading sedentary lives or have never learned to walk correctly. This part of the lower limbs should be kept straight, and the ball of the foot, not the heel, should touch the ground first. When the head is bent for long hours over sewing machine or ledger or onion bed, it is not an easy matter to pull it back to its proper position and make it stay there, and it seems so much more easy and comfortable to let the chest sink than to hold it up to its right place; but the demands of health and beauty are identical in the matter of a head held easily, not egotistically, back, and a chest kept in the highest and most advanced position. It is a striking tact that this attitude of head and chest is expressive, not only of health and grace, but of the finer mental qualities. The embarrassed boy drops his head; if he would hold his head up, his nervousness would disappear. The shy girl thinks that every one in the room is looking at her, and her chest sinks; but if she would hold it up—assume the attitude of courage, though she have it not—she wouldn't care whether they looked or not. The self-conscious person who knows he is stiff and awkward, and who knows that his stiffness and awkwardness are the direct results of his self-consciousness, should imagine that a strong string is attached to the upper part of his chest and held by an invisible hand above him. All he has to do is to let his body depend from that string and keep his head well back of it, and his mind and body will alike become easy and free. The most graceful walker I ever knew told me that she habitually walked by the aid of this invisible cord. Tooth Brushes. Dr. S. H. Arnold gives some interesting facts and good advice in, regard to that daily friend, the tooth brush: Nearly all brushes are made from bristles taken from the wild hogs of Russia or China. The handles are common beef bones. They are made mostly in Japan, France, England and Germany, and by one firm in the United States. Probably English brushes are the best made and worst shaped. The French are next in quality, but far ahead in form. Germany and Japan are generally imitators. Some of the most expensive English and French, and all American brushes, are made in factories under more or less sanitary conditions, but the cheaper grades, including all German and Japanese brushes, are made in the huts of the peasants, where cattle, dogs, swine, fowls and humans are herded in common. The bristles and bone are given out by the dealer and taken into the country, where they are assorted by the aged and young children and diseased persons, the stronger members of the family working at more remunerative employment. These cheap brushes are often in the most unsanitary and wretched surroundings imaginable, and it is a significant fact that after being made they are seldom sterilized before using. The English brushes are generally very much too large to be efficient. The French are better shaped, but are apt to be too long of head, making much waste to the brush, and are too long of bristle. A wide brush is not advisable because it limits the movement possibly longitudinally to the tooth. Long bristles are not the best, because they bend when the brush is thrust back between cheek and teeth, and stay bent till the brush is withdrawn, thus missing the interproximal spaces so much in need of cleaning. Soft bristles become softer when wet, and utterly fall to enter the spaces at all. If the surface of the bristles is concaved longitudinally to fit the labial curve of the teeth, then when the brush is reversed and used on the lingual surfaces, only the ends of the brush engage the teeth; hence, more teeth are missed than cleaned, and the user is deceived into thinking he has cleaned his teeth because he has brushed them. Studying the brush over and what is required of it, it would seem that the brush best adapted to use in the human mouth should have a short, narrow head, with short, rather stiff bristles, trimmed straight longitudinally and convex latitudinally, that each line of bristles may come successively into use as the brush is rotated. Breathing for Strength. Instead of the above heading might be written, "Breathing for life." For that is really what we do. And since this fact is so easily demonstrated, it is strange that we have not more quickly and fully discovered that in this vital process lies the secret remedy for a thousand ills, if not "the fable fountain of immortal youth." Men have lived weeks without eating; days without drinking, and nights without sleeping; but how long can we live without breathing? Twenty ounces of food and a few pints of water will supply the body one day; but, upon a low estimate, it requires thirty thousand pints of air in the same length of time. The delicate machine which this volume of air enters is said to contain over 700,000,000 air cells, or little workshops. Into the walls of these there flows, like the sewerage of a great city, the foul, venous blood of the body. In these remarkable workshops it is quickly transformed into a rushing red torrent filled with lifegiving oxygen from the air. What a wonderful invention! What a miraculous process! And yet you are trusted with operating one of these instruments. Would you note its magical effect under proper conditions? Then stand erect. Open the doors and windows; or, if you are sick in bed, have them opened. Lift your chest and chin, and breathe the invigorating air of heaven, till the muscles of your abdomen fairly bound with joy. Now, isn't that a tonic. Then take it many times a day. You can repeat the dose often. Even as I write the fresh air tickles my finger tips; for when we breathe deeply, it goes to all parts of the body. To "The Sufferin' Neat." There was a little woman In a very sorry plight; For, strange to tell, this woman Disliked to dwell with light. She closed her blinds up tightly, The window was open.

The universal interest in the Anti-Tuberculosis movement is shown in every convention held to consider this work. The discussions are practical, not theoretical. The audiences are popular, not merely professional. The whole people are interested. In a session just closed at Atlanta, Georgia, many important and interesting phases of the prevention and cure of consumption were considered. Dr. C. P. Ambler gave a concise review of the duty of the physician in charge, to the patient and family. His paper was enthusiastically received and adopted as the sense of the League on this subject. His points were as follows: First, Tuberculosis is not the fatal disease commonly believed. Second—While communicable it can be made practically harmless by the proper course on the part of the patient. Third—The chief cause of the high mortality is late diagnosis. Fourth—Late diagnosis is caused by indifference of the patient to early symptoms and carelessness on the part of the physician consulted. Fifth—By thorough, systematic instruction of the patient better results can be accomplished than by medication. Sixth—Instruction of patient, family and friends, and close observance on their part of the rules laid down will practically rob the disease of its method and means of extending. Items that Count There is one important fact that should be indelibly fixed in the mind of every thinking, reasoning being, and that is that any physical derangement, no matter how slight, leaves its impress on the system, and that the individual can never be exactly the same as before. We know this is contrary to the opinion generally held, for we frequently hear the remark made concerning one who has recently passed through a slight sickness: "The doctor says he is as sound as a bell now!" This is optimism, pure and simple, on the part of the physician, and it does good by establishing confidence in the mind of the whilom patient; but, in reality, it is not so. No disturbance of the normal course of the functions can pass away and leave things exactly as they were. A permanent damage has been inflicted, and although it is not appreciated at the time, Nature is a rigid bookkeeper, and these apparently trifling debts to her are duly entered against the individual, and you may rely upon it that sooner or later the bill will be presented. It is the sum total of these minor injuries that become formidable—the accumulation of these trifling derangements that break down constitutions ultimately. The Use of the Potato. According to statistics cited by Waldron in the Revue pour Tous, the potato is more largely used in Europe than any other food substance, the average amount annually eaten per capita being as follows in the different countries named: England, 242 pounds; Austria, 662 pounds; France, 697 pounds; Norway and Sweden, 739 pounds; Germany, 1,298 pounds; Ireland, 1,364 pounds. The per diem consumption for England is eleven ounces per day, and Ireland, three and three-fourths pound, or nearly six times as much WORTH REMEMBERING. There are three entirely different kinds of ingredients used in making the three different varieties of baking powders on the market. viz: (1) Mineral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or Phosphate, and (3) Cream of Tartar made from grapes. It is important, from the standpoint of health, to know something about these ingredients, and which kind is used in your baking powder. (1) Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made from a kind of clay. This is mixed with diluted oil of vitriol and from this solution a product is obtained which is alum. Alum is cheap; costs about two cents a pound, and baking powder made with this Mineral-Acid sells from 10 to 25 a pound. (2) Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, is the basis of phosphate baking powders and the process is fully described in the patents issued to a large manufacturer of a phosphate powder. The U. S. Patent Office Report gives a full and exact description, but the following extract is enough: "Burned bones, after being ground, are put into freshly diluted oil of vitriol and with continual stirring and in the following proportion," etc. From this Bone-Acid phosphate baking powders are made; such powders sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound. (3) Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe grapes, and flows with the juice from the press in the manufacture of wine. After the wine is drawn off the tartar is scraped from the cask, boiled with water, and crystals of Cream of Tartar, white and very pure, separate and are collected. It differs in no respect from the form in which it originally existed in the grape. Cream of Tartar, then, while the most expensive, is the only ingredient that should be used in a baking powder to act upon the soda, as its wholesomeness is beyond question. Cream of Tartar baking powders sell at about 40 to 50 cents a pound. Such are the facts, and every one, careful of the health of the family, should remember this rule:—Baking powders selling from 10 to 25 cents a pound are made of Mineral-Acids; those selling from 20 to 30 cents of Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to 50 cents of Cream of Tartar made from grapes.

Take my yoke upon you and learn of me—Matthew xl. 29. Some time before these words were spoken Christ had delivered the Sermon on the Mount, in which he taught the principles of His kingdom. In the text He invites men to learn of Him, which means that He is a teacher and head master of a school, and anxious to have men enter His school and receive instruction. What can be learned in the school of Christ. He teaches activity and sets the example. When on earth Jesus Christ was a busy man and economical of time. The task Christ gives us to do is to be done quickly, at once, to day! In this school we are taught to be unselfish, useful to others and to lay out our strength in making our fellow men happier and the world better. Christ lived for others, and it was His daily work to make men purer and nobler. He darted light into blind eyes, poured new energy into paralyzed bodies and infused new life into dark and sinful souls! Christ went about healing all manner of sickness and disease and His pathway was one of light and life! We are to walk in His footsteps, and we fail to learn the lessons Christ teaches if we, as Christians, be not useful to our fellow men. Christ teaches us the lesson of character, its beauty, value and how to secure it. As the rainbow is made up of many superb colors, so character is composed of attractive qualities—honesty, truthfulness, self-control, courage, meekness, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, purity, holiness, trust in Jesus Christ and confidence in God! In the character of Christ these qualities shine resplendent, and He says to every immortal man, "Learn of me." Character is the most valuable possession, and in the school of Christ we learn how to secure it. Another lesson is taught. We are not earthborn, but created in God's spiritual image, children of God and heirs of an immortal life. It would be strange indeed if Christ did not instruct us how we may secure the blessed boon of an eternal life. It is here that His instruction transcends that of all others, for He teaches with certainty and positiveness that He Himself is the resurrection and the life, and that we are to live, at least may live eternally, by living in Him! His life is the source and certainty of our everlasting life. Such is the valuable instruction we receive in the school of Christ. What are the terms of admission to this school? It is open to all. There is no exclusiveness, favoritism or special privileges. The doors of the university of God stand wide open and "whosoever will may come." The terms of admission are the same for all, and there is no varying from the rules laid down. Before one can be enrolled as a pencil in this school or sit at the feet of the Great Teacher he must confess and repent of sin, resolve to lead a good life and promise to submit himself to the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Here is the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ! Such is the school to which Christ invites all. There is room, and to all thirsting for a higher life the invitation is, "Come, and welcome." Are you in this school? If so, you are on the right path, and before you lie heaven and home!—David G. Wylie, Ph. D, D. D. The Ministry of Freshness. A religion of commandments grows bourdensome. A religion of ceremonials grows wearisome. A religion of personal love is ever buoyant with the spring and variety of personal character. * * * Can you not see a special freshness and exuberance and simplicity of joy, a cordial welcoming of every new day as a new blessing in the life of the simplest and most childlike Christians, whose religion begins oand ends in this; "I love Christ and he loves me; and I can please Him if I am pure and true and good; and so I will try to be with all my might and His?" The great ministry of freshness to the stale lives of men is the Holy Spirit, whose work is to take of the things of Christ and show them to us. Think how the lives of the apostles must have been changed in regard to their freshness, from the time that they knew Christ! Many and many an evening Peter and James and John must have rocked in their boat on the lake, watching the sun sink below the hills that lay behind Capernaum, and wondered whether it would at always rise on days as monotonous as those that they were living. But from the time that they looked up from the nets that they were mending, at the sound of the strange, sweet, authoritative voice that called them, and left their nets and followed the stranger, we are sure that such wonderment was gone. They began to find life all new. Life and death both become to them full of those deep, pregnant meanings that are always thrilling us as we read the New Testament. They began to live eternal life, as they loved to call it, by which they meant not merely life—it is to last forever—which is some times all that we mean by it—but life that, in every moment of it, was fresh and deep and vital with the divine companionship of Christ. "This is life eternal, to know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent." The personal friendship has transfigured their dull routines and filled their mortal life with the fire of immortality. The divineness of Christianity is testified, by nothing more than by its renewal, not once, but again and again, of the variety, the novelty, the spring of life—Phillips Brooks. Where Can Best Be Found? If I wanted to find a person who had rest I would not go among the very wealthy. The man that we read of in the twelfth chapter of Luke thought he was going to rest by multiplying his goods, but he was disappointed, "Soul, take thine ease." I venture to say that there is not a person in this wide world who has tried to find rest in that way and found it. Money cannot buy it. Many a millionaire would gladly give millions if he could purchase it as he does his stocks and shares. God has made the soul a little too large for this world. Roll the whole world in, and still there is room. There is care in getting wealth, and more care in keeping it. Nor would I go among the pleasure-seekers. They have a few hours' enjoyment, but the next day there is enough sorrow to counterbalance it. They may drink the cup of pleasure to day but the cup of pain comes on tomorrow. Now, there is no rest in sin. The wicked know nothing about it. The Scripture tells us the wicked "are like the troubled sea that cannot rest." You have, perhaps, been on the sea when there is a calm, when the water is as clear as crystal, and it seemed as if the sea were at rest. But if you looked you would see that the waves came in, and that the calm was only on the surface. Man, like the sea, has no rest. He has had no rest since Adam fell, and there is none for him until he returns to God again, and the light of Christ shines into his heart. Rest cannot be found in the world, and thank God, the world cannot take it from the believing heart! Sin is the cause of all this unrest. It brought toil and labor and misery into the world. Now for something positive, I would go successfully to some one who has heard the sweet voice of Jesus, and has laid his burden down at the cross. There is rest, sweet rest. Thousands could certify to this blessed fact. They could say, and truthfully: "I heard the voice of Jesus say, 'Come unto me and test. Lay down, then weary one, lay down, then be upon my heart. I came to Jesus as I was. Weary and worn and sad, I found in Him a resting place. And He has made me glad. I Moody." Abide in Me. It would be difficult to find a happier illustration of what Christ means than the one taken from the vine and its branches. To those whom He addressed, the vine-covered hills, with their luscious clusters, were a familiar scene. His lesson was one of easy application. A vine can run into leaves as well as into fruitage. His purpose was to teach the disciples that they were to carry out what He was here for—they were to be fruit bearers. Otherwise the husbandman would sever them from the vine. In order to be this kind of branches, they must abide in the vine—"I am the Vine, ye are the branches; therefore, abide in Me." Clearly the lesson is that fruit bearing in Christian service depends upon abiding in Christ, just as the fruit, bearing branch must have a vital connection with the living vine. It is equally important that the branch bear fruit, else it will be cut off by the husbandman, as sapping strength that should go into fruit branches. A man cannot be truly useful in the kingdom of God except as he is united by a vital faith to Jesus Christ. When he ceases to be useful he is cut off. The love of God is such that it engenders a sympathetic and interested love for our fellow men. It is that which gives the Christian power. Put the love of Christ in your work and the result becomes immediately apparent. The world recognizes this as a Christian's credentials, and accepts him upon that basis as a child of God. To seek for happiness when we should seek for service is to miss both. Service is so intimately allied with happiness that it is impossible to have one without diligence in the other, and neither will be satisfactory except as the life is rooted in Christ. Goodness. When you hear of a father sacrificing his own life for his children; when you hear of a soldier dying for his country; when you hear of a clergyman or a physician killing himself by his work, while he is laboring to save the souls or the bodies of his fellow creatures; then you feel—there is goodness in its highest shape. To give up our lives for others is one of the most beautiful and noble and glorious things on earth. But to give up our lives, willingly, joyfully, for men who misunderstand us, hate us, despise us, is, if possible, a more glorious action still, and the very perfection of perfect virtue. Then, looking at Christ's cross, we see that, and even more—ay, far more than that—Charles Kingsley. ANOTHER LIFE SAVED. Mrs. G. W. Fooks, of Sullibury Md. wife of G. W.

SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS New Material and New Ideas for the Decoration of Homes. The styles of home decorations have completely changed in the last few years, and it is pleasant to say that they have changed for the better. Time was when we hung monstrous patterns printed on paper against our walls, and considered them more or less pleasantly. It would hardly be fair to say that we considered them beautiful or artistic. But they were the vogue and were put on. The time has come when, with our better methods for interior decoration, better effects can be secured. In wall coverings, whether they be of paint, or of kalsimone, or of Alabastine—whatever the material used to cover the wall—the thing desired is that which has the greatest covering power, as well as permanency and beauty of color. Alabastine, a wall covering ground from Alabastore rock—which means a hard white rock—is the ideal covering for a wall. The most beautiful wall decorations in the world are those which are laid on with the brush. The mural designs in our large public buildings, and the frescoed designs in the large cathedrals and churches, have a permanency and an art of which wall paper is but a cheap imitation. These mural schemes and frescoed designs can be brought within the reach of the every day home. They can be done with Alabastine, which is permanent in its coloring. It does not rub off, and it has the soft effect of pastille. A great many people defer the re-decorating of their rooms not only because of the expense but because of the discomfort of it. With Alabastine there need be no discomfort and there can be no muss, for all that is needed is to lay a sheet or canvas on the floor, have your man come in with a pail, make the solution and simply brush it on the wall. That is all there is to it, and the room is perfectly clean and thoroughly renovated. Common sense is not very plentiful in this world; most of it is decidedly uncommon. FITS permanently cured.

He turned and walked out.

Mr. Crump and Mrs. Robinson led all oth- ers in this respect. Miss Ophelia Watts and Miss Emma Collins made such a hit that they were compelled to appear again in response to an en. core, The fortune teller by Mr. Fox, Miss Foster, Mr, Roberts and Mrs Hammett was an excellent number ant was well executed, Afterwards the most laughable part of the progran occurred when each one in verse ap peared to tell why they never mar ried.

Now and then warm puffs of wind scattered little whirlpools of blinding white dust, but between these puffs it breezes the leaves only stirred enough to utter a faint whisper. The hot, close cropped fields took on their first suggestion of autumnal anticipation. of what I want, and look as you felt that day when I drove up to the field? "Maybe I can," he said going back to his place. He took his pose intelligently and easily. "That's right!" she said approvingly, as she rapidly sketched his figure. Only occasionally did she speak to have him alter his position in the two A tall, little farmer, leaning languidly on his hay fork, was scanning the country road that passed the field where he was at work. At last he saw the looked for cloud of dust, and then came into his vision the little, fat豺 and wide phaeton which was reined up at the fence, while a fair-haired girl called to him. He went up to the side of the carriage and while he was talking to her, he felt that she was fairly absorbing him with her gaze. He looked straight into her eyes and in their shining depths he beheld an expression of rapture that he had ever longed to bring there, but he keenly realized that he was only the suggestion of some intense thought that had brought this look to her dream-centered face. "Do you know what has happened, Dorr?" she asked breathlessly. "No," he said expectantly. "It has come at last! the inspiration and idea for my picture—the picture that is 'to be hung' and make me famous. If I can only persuade my model to pose for me!" "I don't see anything picturesque here, Ruth," he said looking at the stretch of meadow land, "unless you can paint the heat; that would be realistic." "It is to be called," she replied dreamily, "The Last Load. I shall paint the heat, your white horses with their tired, drooping of the head, the load of hay, and you with your fork, just as you stood when I drove up." "I don't think that will be much of a picture," he replied discouragingly. "Wait and see! Will you pose for me, when your work is droning?" He sighed as she drove away. He had loved her since he could remember, but Ruth was heart-whole and fancy free and entirely devoted to art. "Maybe when I have really accomplished my desire and painted a great picture I will come to care for you, Dorr, but I like you better than anyone!" And with this slight encouragement, the hungry-hearted young farmer must be satisfied. One day Ruth in long sleeved apron and atelier manner was before her easel and Dorr in shirt sleeves with straw hat tilted on the back of his head stood, pitchfork in hand, ready for his first pose. "I feel as I did when they inveigled me into some tableaux at a school entertainment," he said grimly. "And what is worse, you look it!" thought Ruth. "Before we begin let Wood Expressed his genuine admiration. me show you what idea I am working on." He crossed the room and sat down beside her. "Here," she explained, "is a sketch of your horses, and this is the meadow, and this is the load of hay. What do you think of them?" He expressed his genuine admiration.

"Maybe I can," he said going back to his place. He took his pose intelligently and easily. "That's right!" she said approvingly, as she rapidly sketched his figure. Only occasionally did she speak to have him alter his position in the two hours that she worked. He proved a responsive model, but there was a drawback. He had a joyous mien and a radiance of hope in his countenance L. M. Stood spellbound before the masterpiece. that she had never seen before and which she knew to have been inspired by the meager hope she had held out to him that August night of glowing skies. The new book was very becoming, but professionally she did not want it. It did not harmonize with the personnel of her idea. "This will never do!" she thought as he came for the next sitting with his eyes soft and brightly lustrous. "I am not seeking the picture of a jovial, light-hearted farmer. I had staked all my chances of success on that grave, serious expression of weariness and strength combined. I must work him into the mood someway." He paused before the easel on his way out. "Nothing but splashes of color," she laughed. After he had gone she remained before the easel in a brown study. An expression partly quizzical and partly contrite crossed her face. "He means," she thought, "but I'll do." "It's mean," she thought, "but I'll do it. The end will justify the means." The next day she gave him a picture of her sketches to look at while she was getting ready to work. One was a sketch of herself that a fellow student at the Academy had made. Instantly his face grew full of expression as she meant it to be, but still that provoking radiance illuminated it. "May I have it?" he asked. "I have promised it to the artist who sketched it," she said, splashing some brown ochre preparatory to an eye production. Encouraged by his expression she began to paint rapidly, then relenting. "He was only a mere boy. Of course, I wouldn't give my picture to a man." A look like the rushing of sunshine in a dark place flashed across his features. "I am only chasing his features from one expression to another," she thought ruefully. This see-saw must stop. "I am going to the city to study again in October," she said bluntly. At last! Just the expression she wanted! Leaving him to his reflections and apprehensions, she painted rapidly and in silence. At the end of the afternoon she looked at her work with satisfaction, but Dorr was disapproving. "Do I look as glum as that?" he asked. "Why didn't you tell me to look pleasant?" "This expression is more effective from an artistic standpoint," she said cheerfully. "I feel that I am going to succeed, and you shall not gaze upon the picture again until it is hung." The days and the work went steadily on. Dorr came daily to pose, and gazed pensively up through the skylights of Ruth's studio, seeing in his gaze visions of harvest meadows and pastures green, towering stalks of corn bearing their burden of grain which awaited only the first touch of frost to bring their fulfillment. And while he cat and dreamed and hovered between his hopes and his despair, Ruth painted as *one inspired, putting her whole being and his into the picture.* In October Ruth took the "Last Load" and went to the city. One day there was an exhibition of pictures and her name was on everyone's lips. Her painting had excited unusual and marked attention. She wrote Dorr and asked him to come and see it. Together they went to the gallery. It was quite early—long before the popular hour for visitors. Dorr stood spell-bound before the masterpiece. The meadow, the tottering load of hay and the tired horses were true to life, but his eyes were riveted on the man standing at the horse's heads. The litle form with shoulders that seemed made for a bulwark, lean of hip and small of waist was at once athletic and magnetic. A low setting sun sent slanting rays where he stood, making the fork gracefully poised on his shoulder gleam like gold. In his uplifted face, the face of a man who has toiled the livelong day was the tenacity of purpose and the grim constancy that make men. Behind the weariness and gravity were nobility and depth of heart. There was a little heartache under- neath his pleasure in her success. "Ruth," he said wistfully, "if I did look like that—if I were like that, would you care for me?" "Dorr, the picture painted itself, and from every stroke of the brush I knew that I did care—had always cared!" "Ruth!" "Ruth!" NOT SO VERY MYSTERIOUS. Simple Explanation of Phenomenon That Puzzled Wise Men. Prof. Simon Newcomb, the astronomer, said, at a dinner in Washington: "The simplest causes sometimes produce the most puzzling effects. "Some years ago I spent the month of August at a friend's villa at Long Branch. "My host, with six or seven of us, was walking through the garden one day after luncheon, when we came to a great glass globe set half in the shade and half in the sun. "Here's a strange thing.' some one said. 'The half of the globe that is in the shade is warmer than the half that is in the sun.' "Impossible!" we chorused. "But we touched the globe and found that the glass actually was warmer in the shade than in the sun. "Then everybody tried to explain this phenomenon, and the most remarkable theories for it were advanced. "One said it was an effect of reflection, another that it was an effect of repulsion, another that the exhalatory law—and so forth and so on. "But I had spied the gardener cutting roses and I called him over to us. "Perhaps you,' I said, 'can tell us why the half of this glass bowl that is in the sun is cooler than the half that is in the shade?' "Why, yes, sir.' said the gardener; 'I think I can. You see, just before you came out I turned the bowl around for fear of its cracking in the great heat.'" Irnpudence. Rear Admiral Wilde, at a banquet given in his honor in Boston, desired to illustrate in some way a certain sort of humorous and harmless impudence that is found at its best in America. "There was a young man," said Admiral Wilde, "and he desired to pay his addresses to a certain young lady. So, in a frank and honorable way, he called on the young lady's father, described his circumstances and prospects, and asked if he might be regarded as a suitor. "Well,' the father said, 'I have no objection to you. You seem to be an honest, industrious, healthy enough young fellow. I guess you can begin to pay your addresses if you want to. Understand, though, that I put out the lights at 10 o'clock." "All right, sir," said the young man. "I'll be careful not to come around be fore that time." Now and Then. Now and Then. The sap is climbing up the tree, And, dear, on every bough Pink blooms are bursting from theel sheathes. The quietly summer now; I see the glint of your blue eyes, Of your enmessing hair. Though you are there and I am here, I love you here and there. The old rock in the canon, dear, I know it as of yore; But this year, dear, heart of my heart, You'll perch on it no more; I loved you, dear one, on that perch, You know that's not a con, I loved you when I helped you down, I love you off and on. And, dear, my love is strong to-day At this very yesterday, It is the same love that you knew In each remembered way; The love you knew in yesteryear This year is yours again; Know, heart o' mine, it ne'er will change I love you now and then. J. M. Lewis in Houston Post. Fame Enough for One. The London correspondent of the Irish News begins an account of the career of William Abraham, M. P., as follows: "Commencing life as as a mere boy at the age of ten, Mr. Abraham ——" Is it really necessary to trace the history of this distinguished gentleman further? Any man who could begin life "at the age of ten," while the vast majority of his contemporaries and predecessors had to star away back at the age of one—or ever less—and struggle all through that extra decade, surely has achieved enough of greatness without saddling himself with the onerous duties of a member of parliament. Considering Mr. Abraham's start he should ere this have progressed far beyond the commons. How He Lives, as Compared With Fifty Years Ago. he farming life of to-day, as contrasted with that of fifty years ago, is a paradise of comfort and convenience. The lonely loghouse, remote from market and devoid of advantages that a half cycle of time has made possible, would scarcely appeal to the present day farmer. ٦ The twentieth- century soil tiller has practically all the modern comforts. His mall is delivered daily. He has telephonic connection with the buying and selling world, affording the best opportunities for marketing to advantage. His home is of recent architecture, constructed of wood, brick or stone, and well furnished. He has modern plumbing and modern heating, and with the advent of acetylene gas, he has modern lighting. At night his home is as attractively illuminated as that of his city brother, for it is a suggestive fact that "acetylene for country homes" has so appealed to the farmer, that of the 80,000 users of acetylene gas in the United States, the farmer is one of the largest of all classes. Ever seeking the best, he has not hesitated in availing himself of this new light. The continued growth and progress of this great country, ever a cause of wonderment, has no greater exemplification than evolution on the farm. Already the farmer is becoming the most envied men—the freest, the healthiest, the happiest! The Best Banks. The best banks are those in which no such defaulcation as that of $1,500,-000 in Milwaukee can be made by the president without knowledge of the directors.

BLESSINGS THAT COMPENSATE This pathetic little story of a blind girl is told by Ian MacLean: "If I dinna see"—and she spoke as if this were a matter of doubt, and she were making a concession for argument's sake—"there's naebody in the glen can hear like me. There's no footsteps of a Drumtochty man comes to the door, but I ken his name, and there's no voice oot on the road that I canna tell. The birds sing sweeter to me than to onybody else, and I hear them cheeping to another in the bushes before they go to sleep. And the flowers smell sweeter to me—the roses and the carnations and the bonny mossrose—and I judge that the oat-cake and milk taste the richer because I dinna see them. No, na, you're no to think that I've been illustrated by my God, for if He didn't give me a thing He gave my mony things instead. "And mind ye, it's no as if I'd seen once and lost my sight; that might ha' been a trial and my faith might ha' failed. I've lost nothing; my life has been all getting." Back at Work Again. Buffalo, N. Y., May 22nd.—(Special)—Crippled by Kidney Disease till he could not stand on his feet for the hours required at his trade, F. K. McLean, 90 East Ferry St., this city, had to quit work entirely. Now he's back at work again and he does not hesitate to give the credit to Dodd's Kidney Pills. "Yes." Mr. McLean says "I was too bad, I had to quit. I could not stand on my feet for the necessary hours. It was Kidney Disease I had, and a friend advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I did so and after using six boxes am completely cured and am working as steadily as before I was sick. I recommend Dodd's Pills to any one afflicted with Kidney trouble." There is no form of Kidney Disease Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure. They always cure Pright's Disease, the most most advanced and deadly stage of Kidney Disease.

IN THE HOUSEHOLD Decorative and Culinary Matters of Importance How unfortunate it is that we cannot reproduce real color schemes in a newspaper! It is the color scheme in drapery work that helps form the design. Without it the accompanying illustration signifies no special character; it only shows the outline as to how it is to be hung. This drapery was recently put up in a Hollywood home. It is especially characterized by its attractive fabrics and color scheme, which effect is all lost here. However it may be made clear by explanation. The box-plaited valance is of plain rose taffeta silk, with border of deeper rose and Nile green. The side curtains are of rose brocade silk with ruffle at the bottom to ```markdown ``` Window Drapery Design. match the valance. The heading of this ruffle is piped with Nile green, which gives it an air of elegance. The "bonne femme" lace curtain hung in the center is made of fine black slik net. The pattern on it is cushion embroidery done in Nine green and rose with a touch of lemon yellow. It will be noticed that the side curtains come to the baseboards, which should always be the case when the lace curtain stops at the window sill.—Los Angeles Times. FOR THE KITCHEN. Proper Serving of Food. The right temperature of food counts for much in palatability, and a disregard of this essential point is so common that some cooks seem to be ignorant of the difference between a piping hot and a lukewarm soup, or that to serve half cold vegetables or mutton on cold plates is a culinary sin. It is a mistake to keep food hot in the oven, because the dry heat evaporates juices and hardens tissues, but to place a dish holding the food inside of another one containing hot water is the best way of keeping it hot, because this method does not prolong the cooking process and thus spoil the dish. Fried Coffee Cakes. Dissolve one yeast cake in one quarter cup of lukewarm water and add three and three-quarters cups of milk that has been scalded and cooled. Add one-half level teaspoon of salt and two rounding tablespoons of sugar. Mix with flour enough to make a batter that will hold the spoon upright when pressed into it, or what is termed a stiff batter. Cover and let rise over night. In the morning cut out spoonfuls and fry in deep, hot fat; like doughnuts. Serve with maple sirup. Small Spice Cakes. Dissolve one level teaspoon of soda in one cup of boiling water and pour onto one cup of molasses. Add two tablespoons of melted butter and three cups of flour mixed with a saltspoon of cloves, one level teaspoon of cinamon, and one-third of a nutmeg grated. Bake in buttered iron popover pans in a moderate oven. Best Way to Use Ice. Unless ice is artificially made from pure water it is better to chill the beverage by putting the pitcher or bottle against the ice than to put cracked ice into the liquid; in this case the chill is soon lost if glasses are filled even a minute or two before the meal is served. A cold, well chilled custard is almost as good as ice on a hot day. In fact, a knowledge of what must be hot and what must be chilled counts for as much in common foods as in serving wines. Brown Bread for Sandwiches Measure one cup of graham flour, or wheat meal from which the course bran has been sifted, add one cup each of corn meal and rye meal, and sift all together. Add two-thirds cup of molasses, two cups of sour milk, and one-half level teaspoons of soda. and one-half level teaspoons of soda. Steam an hour and a half in buttered one pound baking powder cans. Cool and slice thin for sandwiches. Baked Eggs. Plain baked eggs make a pretty breakfast dish. Take a deep earthen plate, butter it and break in the eggs, adding salt, pepper, bits of butter, and bake in a moderate oven. Garnish with curled parsley and serve with buttered toast. Cocoanut Cones. Beat to a froth the white of an egg, add gradually a small cup of grated coconut and some sugar. If not stiff enough to handle add more sugar. Make into cones Use confectioner's sugar for all uncooked candies. LIVING TOO HASTILY AMERICANWOMENBREAKDOWN Irregularities and Female Derangements Result—Cured by Lydia & Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Owing to our mode and manner of living, and the nervous haste of every woman to accomplish just so much each day, it is said that there is not Mrs. Chester Curpy one woman in twenty-five but what suffers with some derangement of the female organism, and this is the secret of so many unhappy homes. No woman can be amiable, light-hearted and happy, a joy to her husband and children, and perform the duties incumbent upon her, when she is suffering with backache, headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing, down pains, displacement of the womb, spinal weakness or ovarian troubles. Irritability and snappy retorts take the place of pleasantness, and all sunshine is driven out of the home, and lives are wrecked by woman's great enemy—womb trouble. Read this letter: Dear Mine, Pinkham: "I was troubled for eight years with irregularities which broke down my health and brought on extreme nervousness and despondency, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound proved to be the only medicine which helped me. Day by day I improved in health while taking it until I was entirely cured. I can attend to my social and household duties and thoroughly enjoy life once more, as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has made me a well woman, without an ache or a pain." — Chuster Curry, 42 Saratoga Street, East Boston, Mass At the first indication of health, painful or irregular menstruation, pain in the side, headache, backache, bearing-down pains, nervousness or "the blues," secure at once a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and begin its use. "HOOSIER SCHOOL SHOES" Should be on every girls feet. No other school shoe has ever given the satisfaction or has such a reputation for fit, style and wearing qualities. "Hoosier School Shoes" look well at all times, feel comfortable on the feet and take a long time to wear out. This is the kind of shoe parents want for their children. The price is low but the material and workmanship in them is of the best. The name "Tappan" is stamped on the lining of every shoe.

There is none to equal it in quality and quantity, 16 ounces, 10 cents. Try it now and save your money. The worst thing about popularity is what is costs a man. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ¾ pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocery tries to sell you a 12 oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 oz." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. Tainted Title. "Before we proceed any further," said the American heirs to the impecunious duke. "I want to ask you a leading question." "A dozen," quoth the duke, although he looked a little anxious. "One is enough," said the noble girl. "I want to ask you how you got your title—because if it is tainted, I unalterably and decisively decline to receive it." A man for want of thought whistles, a woman giggles for the same reason. MISS.

The brain depends much more on the stomach than we are apt to suppose until we take thought in the matter. Feed the stomach on proper food easy to digest and containing the proper amount of phosphates and the healthy brain will respond to all demands. A notable housewife in Buffalo writes: "The doctor diagnosed my trouble as a 'nervous affection of the stomach.' I was actually so nervous that I could not sit still for five minutes to read the newspaper, and to attend to my household duties was simply impossible. I doctored all the time with remedies, but medicine did no good. "My physician put me on all sorts of diet, and I tried many kinds of cereal foods, but none of them agreed with me. I was almost discouraged, and when I tried Grape-Nuts I did so with many misgivings—I had no faith that it would succeed where everything else had failed. "But it did succeed, and you don't know how glad I am that I tried it. I feel like a new person, I have gained in weight and I don't have that terrible burning sensation in my stomach any more. I feel so strong again that I am surprised at myself. The street noises that used to irritate me so, I never notice now, and my mind is so clear that my household duties are a real pleasure." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Now why was this great change made in this woman? The stomach and the brain had not been supplied with the right kind of food to rebuild and strengthen the nerve centers in these organs. It is absolute folly to try to do this with medicine. There is but one sure way and that is to quit the old food that has failed and take on Grape-Nuts food which is more than half digested in the process of manufacture and is rich in the phosphate of potash contained in the natural grain, which unites with albumen and water—the only three substances that will make up the soft gray filling in the thousands of delicate nerve centres in the brain and body. Grape-Nuts food is a sure road back to health in all such cases. HUMOUR of the DAY His Tongue a Trifle Thick. Mr. Jonsmith—How did you catch that awful cold?

Do you want 16 oz. instead of 12 oz. for same money? Then buy Defiance Starch. Requires no cooking. Where others quit is just where we get our second wind. RAILROADS AND PROGRESS. In his testimony before the senate committee on interstate commerce at Washington on May 4, Prof. Hugo R Meyer of the Chicago university, an expert on railroad management, made this statement: "Let us look at what might have happened if we had heeded the protests of the farmers of New York and Ohio and Pennsylvania (in the 70's, when grain from the west began pouring to the Atlantic seaboard), and acted upon the doctrine which the interstate commerce commission has enunciated time and again, that no man may be deprived of the advantages accruing to him by virtue of his geographical position. We could not have west of the Mississippi a population of millions of people who are prosperous and are great consumers. We never should have seen the years when we built 10,000 and 12,000 miles of railway, for there would have been no farmers west of the Mississippi river who could have used the land that would have been opened up by the building of those railways. And if we had not seen the years when we could build 10,000 and 12,000 miles of railway a year, we should not have today east of the Mississippi a steel and iron producing center, which is at once the marvel and the despair of Europe, because we could not have built up a steel and iron industry if there had been no market for its product. We could not have in New England a great boot and shoe industry; we could not have in New England a great cotton milling industry; we could not have spread throughout New York and Pennsylvania and Ohio manufacturing industries of the most diversified kinds, because those industries would have no market among the farmers west of the Mississippi river. And while the progress of this country, while the development of the agricultural west of this country, did mean the impairment of the agricultural value east of the Mississippi river, that ran up into hundreds of millions of dollars, it meant incidentally the building up of great manufacturing industries that added to the value of this land by thousands of millions of dollars. And, gentlemen, those things were not foreseen in the 70's. The statesmen and the public men of this country did not see what part the agricultural development of the west was going to play in the industrial development of the east. And you may read the decisions of the interstate commerce commission from the first to the last, and what is one of the greatest characteristics of those decisions? The continued inability to see the question in this large way. The interstate commerce commission never can see anything more than that the farm land of some farmer is decreasing in value, or that some man who has a flour mill with a production of fifty barrels a day is being crowded out. It never can see that the destruction or impairment of farm values in this place means the building up of farm values in that place, and that that shifting of values is a necessary incident to the industrial and manufacturing development of this country. And if we shall give to the interstate commerce commission power to regulate rates, we shall no longer have our rates regulated on the statesmanlike basis on which they have been regulated in the past by the railway men, who really have been great statesmen, who really have been great builders of empires, who have had an imagination that rivals the imagination of the greatest poet and of the greatest inventor, and who have operated with a courage and daring that rivals the courage and daring of the greatest military general. But we shall have our rates regulated by a body of civil servants, burrowcrats, whose besetting sin the world ever is that they never can grasp a situation in a large way and with the grasp of the statesman; that they never can see the fact that they are confronted with a small evil; that that evil is relatively small, and that it cannot be corrected except by the creation of evils and abuses which are infinitely greater than the one that is to be corrected." A man riding a horse with two women in front of him. The Young Physician. WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED. In the early sixties it was usually the duty of a practicing physician to ride many miles every day on his regular round of visits upon his patients. In those days a young man who had received a splendid medical training in one of the best medical colleges of that day was accustomed to ride on, twenty or thirty miles a day, and was afflicted. His success was soon phenomenal. Doctors and families called him for consultation to towns at considerable distances by rail. One of his specialties was the cure of those distressing diseases of women. He had early discovered that by combining the vegetable extract of the following medicinal plants in just the right proportion he could holi his prescription invariably cure such cases. Later, in order to place this remedy before the public in a shape easily to be procured, he established a laboratory at Buffalo, N. Y., where regularly qualified chemists were put in charge to accurately prepare his prescription and put it in shape for shipment to all parts of the world. He then named Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, is not a "patient medicine" in the common acceptance of the term, but a tonic for women, and a regular physi- Conviction Folly When buying loose coffee or anything to have in his bin, how do you getting?

Y. Dr. Pierre does not claim for his "Favorable description" that it is a "curseal". It is severe, specific for women's peculiar ailments. So uniform are the results which follow the use of this remarkable remedy, that it can be truly affirmed of "Favorite Prescription" that it always helps and almost always cares. Ninety-eight per cent, of the those who give this medicine a fair and faithful trial are cured and remain cured. It is a powerful invigorating tone, imparting health and strength in particular to the womb and its appendages. The local, womanly health is so intimately related to the general health that when women work in a health care organization are cured the whole body gains in health and strength.

They were traveling peacefully home tn the lumbering market wagon, when from the shadow on the side of the road there sprang two unkempt forms, Not much time was wasted tn useless talking. The tramps in an earnest and businesslike manner Went through the pockets of the farmer and his daughter, turned them out of the market wagon, aud drove off in It themselves. “Dear, oh, dear,” wailed the old man; “this ts a nice fix. Horse and Wagon and money, too—all gone." But the faithful daughter was there to comfort him. “Not the money, father,” she sald, “T hid the purse in my mouth.” “In your mouth,” excttimed the old farmer, regretfully, “Good for you, But what a pity your mother wasn't here, We might have saved the horse and wagon.” Money Was Made Good.
