Wern Irakoirl,
It la generally conceded by the bent
(ad most farslghted minds, that the
greatest world trade of the future Is to
ps across the Pacific, says a writer Id
Buccess Magazine. For centuries trade
(entered In the Mediterranean, with the
result that the largest and most impor
tant cities of that time were formed
in the shores of southern Europe and
'aorthern Africa. The discovery of
America, then a wilderness, centered
trade later In the Atlantic, and the
most Important cities of the world then
grew up on the shores of western Eu
rope and eastern America. So the cities
of the Pacific coast of America In time
will probably be In proportion to the
trade across the Pacific, and the trade
cross an ocean, other things being
equal, is in proportion to the number
f people who live along Its borders.
v To-day the Pacific coast of the Unit
Id States baa about one-twelfth at
many people as live along the Atlantic
seaboard; yet the shores of the Pacific
ire many times richer In natural re
sources than are those of tho Atlantic.
There Is hardly any comparison ' be

It struck the docter a little comically
(hat one of Guy's habits should offer to

lad that he was glad, toe, sad doubly
tlsd that across ths sea tkers was a

she was there now as Mrs. Guy, snd hs
must tell Guy so that very day. Bested

"Guess, Hal, what wild project I have
Just embarked In."
"I know without guessing; Msddy told
me," sod the doctor's eyebrows were elo
vsted Just a little.
"And so you don't approve?" wss Guy's
next remark, to which ths doctor replied :
"Why, yes; It's a grand thing for her,
providing you know enough to teach her;
hat, Guy, this is a ceafsunded gossiping
aelghborhood, sad folks will talk, I'm
afraid. She's too handsssie, Gny, far

"Jealous, as I live!" sod Guy's hand

far as that. You are afraid of ths effect
It may have on me teachiag a sweet-faced

you fancy her, as well ysu may. She'll
make a splendid woman, but shs needs
educating, of course, snd I am gelsg to

sf looking so like a thundercloud," snd
Guy laughed merrily.
Ths doctor wss ashamed of bis mood.
snd could not tell what prompted him to
answer :
"I am obliged to you, Guy; but, as far
ss I am concerned, you may apars your
self the trouble. If my wife needs edu
ce ting, I can do it myself."
Guy was pussled. Could It be that af
ter all, hs wss deceived, and ths docter
did not cars for Msddy? It might be,
and he hastened to change the conversa
tion to snother topic than Msddy Clyde.
Ths doctor stsyod to dinner, sad as Qy
watched him closely, hs ansae u his
mind that bs did care for Msddy Clyde,
and this confirmed him In his plan of edu
cating her for him.
Magnanimous Guy I He felt himself
very good, very generous, very cosOe-
tcendlng, and very forgiving, the early
Jortlon of ths afternoon ; hut later in ths
ay bs began to view Guy Remington la
ths light of a martyr, said msrtyrdoss
sonslstlng In ths scornful toss of the head
with which Agnes hsd listened to his

Noah.
Wss he beside himself, or what?" this
worthy siked. "She liked Msddy Clyde,
to bs sure, but It wssn't for him to de
mesa himself by turning her schoolmas
ter. Folks would talk awfully, and shs
couldn't blame 'em ; besides, what would
Lucy say to his bcln' alone In a room
with a girl as pretty as Maddy? It wss
a duty hs owed her, at any rate, to tell
her about It, and If she said 'twas right
why, go It"
This was the drift of Mrs. Noah's re
marks, snd ss Guy depended much
her Judgment he decided to write to Lucy
to sos If she bad tho slightest objections
to his teaching Maddy Clyde. Accord
ingly, be wrote that very night telling
her frankly all he knew concerning Mad
dy Clyde, and narrating the circumstances
under which he first bad met her, being
oarsful also to repeat what he knew would
have weight with an Krgllsh girl like
Lucy, to wit that though poor, Maddy'a
father and grandfather Clyde had
gentlemen, the one a clergyman, the other
a sea captain. Then hs told ef her desire
for learning, and his plan to teach her
himself, of what ths doctor ssd Mrs.
Noah bad said shout It and his final de
termination to consult bar. Than he de
scribed Maddy herself, feeling a strange
thrill aa hs told how pure, how Inaooeut,
how artless snd beautiful she wss, and
asked It Lucy feared aught from his
iatioa with her.
"If you do," bs wrote, "ysu havs but
to say so, and thosgh I asa committed, I
will extricate myself la some way, rather
than wound you la ths slightest decree,1
It would bs soms tuue ere sa answer
to this lstter could bs received, and until
such time Guy could not honorably bear
Maddy s lessons ss hs had agreed to do.
But Maddy waa not suspicious, sad att
empting his trivial excuse, waited patient
ly, while he, too, waited for the letter,
wondering what it would contain.
At Isst ths snswer oama, snd It

hoary that day to care for a trills, aad so.
placing ths letter carefully la her basket,
she kept oo to Alkeoslde.
The letter wss decidedly Lucy-Iah la aTl
that pertained to her "dearest darling,"
her "precious Uuy," hut when shs cams
to Maddy Clyde, her true, womanly na
ture spoke; and Guy, while reading It
folt how good ehe vaa. Of course he
might teach Maddy Clyde all he wished
to teach ber, and it made Lucy love him
better to know that be was wllllug to do
such things. She wished she was tkers
to help him ; they would open s school for
all ths poor, but she did not koow when
mamma would let her come. That pals
la ber elds was not any better, and her
tough had com earlier that season than
last Ths physician bad advlaed a win
ter In Naples, and they were going before
long. Then followed a few mors lines
sacred to ths lover's eye, lines which told
how pure wss the lore which aweet Lucy
Atherstone bors for Guy Itemlngton, who,
ss bs read, felt his heart beat with a
throb of pat a, for Locy spoke to him now
for ths first time of what might possibly
be.
"I've drf-amed about It nlghta," she
(aid. "I've thought about it days, snd
tried so hard to be recouciled ; to feel that
If God will have It so, I am willing to
die before yeu have ever called me your

'hlnk, but oh, dear Guy, a life with you
looks so very sweet that sometimes your
little Lucy shrinks from the dark grave

Guy could net resist thst teuchlsg ap
peal, "to pray for his littls Lucy," and
though his Hps were all uaused to prayer,
bowing his head upon his hsnds he did sk
thst she might live, beseeching the Father
to sesd uses him any calamity save thie
one Lucy must be spared, uuy leu Dei-
ter for baring prayed, It was something
te tell Lucy, something that would please
her well, aad though his heart yet wss
very sad, a part of the lead was lifted,
and hs could think of Lucy now without
the bitter peln ber letter first bad cost
him. Was there nothing that would save
her, nobody who could cure ber? Her
disease was not hereditary; surely it
might be made to yield; had English
physicians no skill, would not sn Ameri-
csn do better? It. was possible, and if
that mother of Lucy's would let her come
where doctors knew something, she might
get well ; but she wouldn't ; she wss de
termined that no husband should be bur
dened with sn ailing wife, and so If the
mountain would not come to Mahomet,
why, Mahenut muat go to the mountain,
and Guy fairly leaped ffem bis chair as
bs exclaimed: "I have it doc ! ha's the
most skillful man I ever knew, I'll send
him te Englsnd ; send him to the Ather
stones; he shall go to Naples with theta
as their family physician ; be can curs
Lucy; I'll speak to him the very next time
he comes here"; and with another bur
den lifted from his mind, Guy began to
wonder wbers Maddy was.
ne knew she had returned, for Flora
bad said she brought the letter, and he
was about going out, In hopes of finding
her and Jessie, when he heard her In the
bail, as shs snswered some question of
Mrs. Nosh's; stepping to the door, he ask
ed ber to come In. Then he told her that
the time had come when he could give
those promised lessons, ssklng If she
would commence to-morrow, after she
wss through with Jessie, snd what shs
would prefer te take up first.
"Ob, Mr. Remington," and Maddy be
gan to cry, "I am afraid I cannot stay I
They need me at home, or may. Grandpa
said so and I don't want to go, though I
know It's wicked not to. Oh, dear 1 dear 1"
Hers Maddy broke down entirely, sob-
blag so convulsively that Guy became
alarmed, ssd wondered what he ought
to de to quiet her.
Controlling her voice as .well as she wss
able, Msddy told bim bow the physlclsn
at ths asylura had written that as Uncls
h would in all human probability
never be perfectly sane, and as a change
ee scons would do him good, Mr. Mark
kas hsd better try taking bim a while;
that having been spoken with upon ths
subject hs seemed ss anxious ss a littls
child, evea crying when the night came
around, aad he was not at home, as hs
extrosstd It "They have kept him so
long," Maddy said, "that grandpa thought
It his duty te relieve them, though hs
can't well afford It, and so he's coming
nsxt week, and grandma will need some
one to kelp, and I must go. I know it's
wrong, but I do not want to go, try as I
111.
It was a gloomy prospect to exchange
Alkenslds for ths bumble boms where
poverty had Its sbode, and It wss not
vsry strsngs that Maddy should shrink
from it at first. She did uot stop to ask
what wss ber duty, or think bow much
happiness her presencs might give ber
grandparents, or how . much she might
ehssr and amuse the weak Imbecile, her
uncle. She was but human, and so, when
Gay began to devise ways of preventing
her going, shs listened, while the pain at
her heart grew less as her fslth in Uuy
grew stronger. He would drive down
with her to-morrow, he said, snd see what
could be done.
As Guy bad hslf expected, ths doctor
oams around that evening, and inviting
hlat Into his privets room, Guy proceeded
at eace to unfold bis scheme, asking him
first!
How much hs probably received a
year for his services ss physician."
Ths doctor could not tell at once, but
after a little thought, made aa estimate,
and then inquired why Guy bad asked the
noatton.
"Because, doc, I have a project on foot.
Lucy Atherstone Is dying with what they
call consumption. I don't believe those
old fogies understand her disesse, and if
yeu will go over to Englaud and under
take her cure, I'll give yeu just double
what you'll got by remaining here. Tbsy

trust Msddy to me. I'll take good care
that ahe Is worthy of you when yeu corns
bsck"
At the mention of Maddy's nams the
doctor's brow darkened. Hs wss sure thst
Guy meant kindly, but It grated on his
fesllngs to bs thus joked about what he
know waa a stera reality. Guy's project
appeared te him at first a most insane
ewe, ben as he continued to enjsrgs upon
It aad the advantags It would bs to the
dootor to travel In the Old World, a feel
Ing of enthusiasm was kindled in bis own
breast a desire to visit Naples and
France, and the places be had dreamed of
as a boy, but never hoped to see, Guy's
plan began to look more fcasiblp, and ios
sibly hs might have yielded but for one
thought, aad that a thought of Maddy
Clyde. He would not leave her alone
with Guy, even though Guy was true to
Lucy as steel. He would stay ; he would
wstch ; and in time he would win the
young girl waiting now for him in the
ball below, waiting to tell bim 'mid
blushes of sbanis snd tears of regret how
shs hsd meant to pay him with her very
first wages, but now Uncle Joseph was
coming home, aud he must wait a little
longer.
"Would be, could he be s good?" and
unmindful of Guy's presence Mmldy laid
her hand confidingly upon his arm, while
her soft eyes looked bcxeeehingly into
his. Guy left them together In the light
td ball. Sitting dowu ou the t-ofa, and
making MadJr sit beside hlui, the doctor
began :
"Maddy, you know I mean what I say

eyes flashed with pride, exclaimed:

Ing place from the Ills of life in his shel
tering love. But she was not prepared,
and he should only defeat his object by
bis rssliness, so he restrained himself,
though be did pass his arm partly around
her waiat as he said to her :
"I tell you, Maddy, honestly, that when
wsnt that bill liquidated I'll ask you.
I certainly will, and I'll let y1u pay It
too. Uoea that satisfy you?"
Yes, Maddy was satisfied, and after 4
little the doctor continued :
"By the way, Maddy, I hsve soms idea
ef goiag te Europe for a few months, or
year or more. You know It does a pay
ician good te study a wnlle la rsria,
What do you think ef it? Shall I go?"
The dorter bad become quite necessary
to Maddy a happiness. He it was to
whom she confided all her little troubles,
and to lose him would be a terrible loss.
nd so she answered thst If it would bo
much better for him she supposed he
ought to go, though she should miss him
sadly and be so lonely without him.
"Would you, Maddy? Are you la earn
est? Would you be the lonelier for my
being gone?" the doctor asked, esgerly.
With her ususl truthfulness, Msddy re
plied: "Of course I should;" aad when,
fter the conference wss ended, tne doc
tor stood for a moment talking with Guy,
ere bidding him goodnight, be said: "I
think I shsll net accept your Europeaa
proposition. Somebody else most cure
Lucy."
The next dsy, ss Guy had propose!, he
rode down te Honedsle, taklsg Haddy
with him, and offered so many reasons
why shs should not be celled home that
the old people began to relent, particu
larly as they haw bow Maddy's heart was
set en the lessons Ouy waa going to give
er. She misbt never have a like oppor
tunity, the young man said, and as a good
education would put ber in the way of
helping them when they were older and
needed her more, It was their duty to
lesve her with them. He knew they ob
jected to her receiving three dollars a
week, but be should pay it just the same.
sad if tbey chose they might, with a
part of It hire a little girl to do the
work which Maddy would do were she at
home.
Maddy was very happy after It was
settled, and chatted gayly with her grand
mother, while Guy went out with her
grandfather, who wished to speak with
m alonfc.
"Young men," he said, "you have taken
deep Interest in me and mine since I
first came to know you, and I thank you
for it all. I have nothing to give In re
turn except my prayers, and those you
bsvs every dey ; you and that doctor. I
prsy for you two just as I do for Msddy.
Somehow you three come in together.
You're uncommon good to Maddy. 'Taln't
everyone like you who would offer and
assist oa learning her."
Grandpa felt relieved when be had said
all tkls to Guy. On their return to the
house grsndpa showed Guy the bedroom
tended for Uncle Joseph, and Guy, as
he glancsd at the furniture, thought with-
n himself bow be would send down from
Aikenslde soms of the unused articles
piled away In the garret when he refur
nished his bouse. He was becoming great
ly Interested la the Markhams, caring
othlng for the remarks bis interest might

whom watched Maddy half curiously as

HE KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
When Davy Crockett was on his way
front his Tennessee home to Texas to
fight for the new republic, ho rode over
land with some 'chance friends from
Little Itock to Fultou. One day they
were startled by hcarlug the high notes
of a distant violin playing a rollicking

men hastened toward the sound, and
soon observed several ethers running
through the fields In the same direc
tion. At last they camo over the crest
of a ridge, in view of the river, and be
held the fiddler seated la the middle
of the flood, In au almost submerged
buggy, playing as fast us he could
shake the bow.
"Hello, there! Turn back!" shouted
the men who came through the field.
"I enn't" replied the fiddler.

"What do you mean by sitting out

An of the Great Csnei Under
Which, tho t'oantrr Suffers.
Oiks of the greatest evils to-day In
India Is that of caste, which divides
society among tbe Hindus la inch a
manner that there can b no Inter
course between the member of different
crades. Tbe four main caste tn India
are the Ttrahmans, or sacerdotal caste;
the chuttree, or military; th vslsy.i,
or mercantile, and the sudrss, or svr
vlio class. But there are almost In
numersble other classes), of whom the
very lowest are the Ctiandala, or
psrlabs, creatures so vile that to those
above them tbtMr very shadow Is a pol
lution. For the membere of one ef
three classes to mingle among and per
form service for tbe members of an
other chste la unthinkable, and so deep
ly Is Indian society permested with
this pernicious principle thst the whites
are constant sufferers from It. Thus
the servant who may sweep your room
would not gToom your horse, nor cut
tbe grass on your lawn, for these are
j the Ssuslners of other castes. Where a
person Icsrs enste by s.ime Infringe
ment of the rules governing It, he sinks
Into a lower cosle nml transmits that
heritage to his children. The pooplo
of one caste cannot trade with those
of another, :ind In n multiplicity of
ways the evils of tho system affect the
Hindus.- Uetween the latter and the
Mussulmans, of whom there are many
.millions In Indin, there- Is a deep an
tipathy. Our Illustration, taken from the Il
lustrated London News, depicts an In
cident which shows the superficial
manner In which the rule of caste may
be evaded. In towns where Hindus and.
Mohammedans live side by side, the
sellers of drinking water supply the
liquid through little port holes, one for
each religion. The drinker is thus sur-posed-to
be Ignorant of the caste of

i
EVADING THE LOSS
the man who supplies tho water and
bis own caste Is consequently unbroken.
For a Rrahuian, for Instance, to be
served by a Mussulman would be a
desecration of tuo latter's holy state,
for the Rralminns are regarded by the
Hindus ns divine and fit subjects for
Feneration even by the gods.

Sleeplessness, in the majority of

With regsrd to the character of the
sleep Itself, the attitude of our mind In
sleep Is dominstod, to a degree, at least,
by Its attitude In the waking hours.' It
la probable that during profound aleep
tbe mind Is Inactive, and that dreams
occur only during the transition state
from profound sleep to wakefulness. It
la conceivable that in tbe Ideal sleep
there Is only one such period, but or
dlnnrlly there occur many such periods
during the night, and for the restless
and uneasy sleeer tbe night may fur
nish a succession of such periods, with
comparatively little undisturbed rest.
The character of the'plctures and sug
gestions of dreams, though in new eom
bluations, are largely dependent on our
dally experiences.. Is It not then, worth
while to encourage, durlug our waking
hours, such thoughts as are restful and
useful, rather than those which nerve
no purpose but annoyance?
If we will, we can select our thoughts
as we do our companions.
Novel Vara of Ice.
A government expert has devised a
novel method of keeping a car or com
partment comparatively warm in zero
weather; not by fire, but by the utili
zation of Ice, says the National Provi
sioned A well Insulated car ts fitted
each end with four galvanized Iron cyl
inders reaching from the floor to the
OF CASTE IN INDIA.
top of the car. In summer these cylin
ders are filled with Ice and salt to
keep the car cool. In winter they are
filled wth Ice to keep the contents of
the car from freezing.
Ice Is nominally at a temperature of
32 degrees Fahrenheit and Is a sub
stance that chaDges temperature reluct
antly, being a poor conductor of heat
or cold. Consequently when zero
weather prevails outside the cylinders
of relatively warm Ice prevent the es
cape of heat, In other words they main
tain the temperature within the car.
Another method whereby Ice Is em
ployed for protection against cold con
sists in throwing a plentiful stream of
water on the car when the temperature
Is near xero point which freezes at
once and forms a complete coat over
the car. The action of this Ice Is the
same as In the case of the cylinders
filled with Ice. A similar plan Is fre
quently adopted In the transportation
of bananas, a fruit particularly sus
ceptible to cold.

Now, the gun captain of th forward
