Bertha has returned, never to leave her lover again, in safety, and still faithful to him; his fears wero unfounded, his suspi cions rebuked. It was only last evening that he had looked into her leautiful eyes onco more, and it was to-day she had told him he might come again. It was a groat day for Philip for another reason. He was to break ground this morning for a new mill, whow walls and foundations would be laid in love and justice. In the mill yard a hundred la borers waited with their sjiades over their shoulders, and with them the young mill owner, grasping a spade like the rest. At the contractor s word the iron glistened in the sunlight, and in an instant more a hundred and one spades struck earth. Ten thousand eager workmen all over the land were wait ing on the undertaking. Each night 10,000 anxious tongues will ask how many feet the new walls have risen that day; will reproach the masons if they aro slow, will bless them if thev work mightily. The'looms in the Breton mills aro still to day, the great water wheel is unharnessed from the myriad IjelLs, while the men and women and children gathered around the great parallelogram marked out by tho engi neers for the foundation of the new milL It was to be their mill, too, and the face of the Iioorost creature of them all reflected a little of the blcw-.-d hope which was making life over for them. Not a voice was heard. For tho moment all eyes were fired on the bend ing forms. Philip Breton's .slight form was bent, too, as he drove his spade deep into the stubborn sod. Every laborer stayed his hand until the young master throw up the first earth. Then a cheer broke from each brawny throat, and every s:ade at onco lifted its burden of green turf. The hundred laliorers bent again to their task, and the frightened daisies trembled on their green stems, but Philip, spade in hand, bad mounted tho steps of the nearest mill, and now looked down kindly on the opera tives who gathered expectantly about him. "I mean that not one injustice shall ever desecrate these new walls. I mean that the mill shall be a temple of co-operation. I be lieve tho world is just entering on a new epoch, more glorious than any before, because blessings that have been confined to the few, comforts tliat have comforted only the few, leisure and amusement, even, that has cheered only the few, shall bo universal; that each hand that tills tho earth shall share in its bountiful harvests, which now pack the store houses of a few in useless profusion; that each liand that weaves our cloth shall share in its profits according to his worth. It isn't because tho world is so poor that you have been jioorsolong; but liecause its wealth is wasted. Yet le patient. Violence only destroys, it does not build up, ami every ar ticle of wealth destroyed leaves so much less of j-our heritage. We will not work any more Unlay, it shall be a holiday to be kept sacred in our memories, as an inspiration to more faithful lalor and more honest, con tented lives. But for a moment no one moved, till he leaned his sjiade against the wall, and started to come down. Then a murmur ran through tho crowd till it swelled to a cheer, and as ho made his way out, he had to clasp a thou sand dingy hands, reached out to the young master ia token of the love aud trust of a thousand brightened lives. His destiny that had frowned so long and so terribly, smiled at last. As if by a miracle his life, that liad seemed so dreary and bar ren, was become a path of flowers. All dangers were averted, all evils turned into blessing;, and it was so short a time ago that he saw no spark of joy in life. It had been like a day when tho clouds had shut away the sun, nnd settled gloomily over the earth for a storm. A shadow creeps into every human f:nv, darkness cowers in every home, the birds llutter in terror from tree to tree, or nestle tearfully in their retreats. Tho very brooks moan instead of babbling. Then suddenly the summer sun burns through the cloudy, which scatter to their caves beneath the nil!., tho rippling rivers glistenand sparklo like rarest jeweb, and the birds break forth in song as they mount in ecstasy toward tho sunlight. Not a human thiug but brightens into sudden gladness. So short a time ago he thought lifo only a dull, cheerless struggle, that he rose in the morn ing heavy ami disheartened, that he lay down at night, careless if he slept forever. But suddenly the world looked like an enchanted palaco to Philip Breton, and his life seemed as perfect as a day iu paradise. It was at 3 o'clock that ho was to go to Bertha, and it was only when he was ready and waiting in his study for this last slow hour between him and happiness to slip away. He looked up the street and down again, but the streets were quite deserted; he might have fancied tho world all gone to sleep had he not heard the roar of the waters going over the dam. Then he glanced at the clock. If he had not heard its loud ticking ho would liavo been willing to swear the bauds must have stopped. He picked up a newspaper and tried to interest himself in it "What a child he was, to be sure, not to know how to wait. Did he imagine there would bo nothing more for him to wait for after to day! His eyes glanced impatiently down tho pages. There seem ed to be absolutely nothing in the paper at all; he must stop his subscrip tion; he might as well write to the publishers now; it would take up a little of his surplus time. But what was this odd looking adver tisement in such very black type: Divorces obtained without trouble or pub licity for any causo desire!. Address, in strictest confidence, John T. (biddings, No 4 Errick square, Lockout. "Well, well," soliloquized Philip, after reading the card a second time, "our corpo ration counsel is come down pretty low, get ting bogus divorces for a livelihood." Then he glanced at his watch: be was out of temper with the pretty littw clock. Per haps allowing fifteen minutes for the distance to Bertha's house ho might not be very much too early. Philip found Bertha standing. She gener ally preferred to sit. And she wore an anxious look ho had never seen on her face before He thought to make her laugh. "I suppose Mrs. Ellingsworth will not miss her chance to spoil our tete-a-tete." "She is not in town," and Bertha turned to tho window again. "She went yesterday. Do you know whether she has any relatives in in Vincboror "Why that is where yon" Philip bit his lip; "no, I didnt know that she had." Ho came up to where she stood, and, when she did not speak again, ho tried to tako her hand. But she drew away from his touch with a gesture of impatience. "I am in no mood for foolishness." It seemed foolishness to her. then! There was a pang of pain about his heart, and then a thought struck him. "You are not afraid of her. are your She drew herself up to her full height in her old superb arrogance, and her lips curled in scorn. "I will be afraid of no one. If I owe no one a duty I need not be afraid." She seemed to be gathering force for an instant, while her cold eyes rested on the face of the man who loved her so nobly. "I must take back my promise; I cannot marry you." "Do you owe me nothing now, theoP be pleaded In a startled voice "Perhaps so yes, I thinfr I ought not to make you miserable." "Then do not leave me; do not kill me, Bertha, after letting me hope." He had seized her hand again, but she would not let him draw her to him, "But I should make you miserable." She dropped her eyes before his. "Yon would not like like"5 "I will take all the blame, then." He put his arm about her, and this time she did not repel him. "I call God to witness you will not be responsible; I will forgive you every thing, my darling." She was In his anas, but still she held back her face from aim. "And you wont blame ma, whatever nap pens?" 42fo, oh, never." Tha color came back Into 3 dls race; hi tnumpnant Heart sent tne hot blood through every vein and artery. "And you will remember I warned your "Yes, he whispered, "and will remind you of it when you have made mo tha hap piest man in the world. But we wont wait till Jane comes back; we will be married to morrow." "Oh, no." Her smile was very beautiful nnd sweet, but as cold as the river of death. "The day after, then. Say the day after to-morrow, before anything has timo to hap pen." Ho saw her lips were forming for a "no," but ho kisMxl it away; and another and another, till she broke away from him with a laugh. "Well, yes, then; but you will be norry for it to tho end of your life." Ho niado her put on her hat after tea and they went across tho fields to tho village cemetery. He had stirred her by bis enthusiasm to an unwonted pitch, but now she had become colder tlian ever, and very silent. It seemed as if she uera sorry for what she had prom ised, and Philip was afraid each moment that she i nuld open her lips and tako it all back. Ho talked very eagerly to bar all the way to ta!-e up her mind, telling her all the plans he hud made aud how gloriously they seemed to be succeeding. She did not make much rasp wise to what he said, but he was only too i, lad that she did not repeat the words -.bo had met him with iu the after noon. At last they stood by a massive pillar of granite; i.i broken to signify an incom plete life work, but perfect in symmetry and finished ia outline. Bertha could make out in tho de:t;2iijg twilight the name ot "Ezekifcl Br.ton" cut deep into the everlast ing stone. w tan ? f "I will fortjive yon everything.1' 4 1 wish my father had seen thi-: n i !!!' rent ly, and tttuld have laid the i.. ns. tfj;II the mills in justice iui-1 -i,-i u-ii'iM not sco that we are all men to-.'t and tho wants that he had the workm-r. fi-tvd too. He did what he thought v.-a right, as do so many thousand men tn-diiy, whose every breath means a harder burden for tho poor." "What is the use of considering the poor. They have no gratitude. And then they are made differently from us; they have their place: let them be content with it Your father was right." How cold and hard her voice was, and he had seen her so enthusiastic over the wrongs of the poor. i "But they ought to have a chance to enjoy ' a little more of what they earn, there are so many of them." But she made no answer, and Philip's heart sank with the conviction that be must carry out his great work as he had begun it, alone. He had counted on her sympathy; ho had felt sure of it, and he was ' so lonely among the grand ideas he had summoned into his soul, but perhaps it was ' not best for him: a man never knows. It was quite dark when he bade Bertha good night at her gate. He had kept her hand for a moment after she would have gone, in the thrilling indulgence of the sense of possession. His heart was very full, his hope was almost blossoming into reality; at. last when it bad seemed blighted once into despair. Only two more days, and all the storms that might rage could never separate tbcm, but must only make her dear white arms cling tho closer to him. Why had she not said to-morrow' it was almost too much too hope that God would hold back all his thunderbolts, and all the myriad messen gers of evil for two days. Tbe wonderful fate that had brought her back as from death to him, that had saved her so strangely from another meeting with tho man whose voice would melt her will, and madden her brain a second time, made him the more afraid now. The tide might turn, perhaps to-morrow, perhaps to-night, and carry his darling out to sea, away from harm once more and for ever. But how cold and firm her hand was. Ah, how glad he would have been for one little tremor in it. J "BertbaJ ' he said almost piteously, "have you nothing else for me to-night f "I think it is all you should ask if I don't take back my promise." Then she seemed to be musing for an instant. "I am sorry you like me so much. What is there about me" "How are the mighty fallen." It was Mr. Ellings worth's voice, as that gentleman saun tered toward the two young people. "There is something in this newspaper I have marked for you. One of our old friends has found his level at hist must you go this minute? Well, good night." It was a long time before Philip could get to sleep that night in his great quiet house. Thero were so many tender thoughts and memories, now coming out in clear relief in his brain, now grouped with others, and again lost in a v ague sense of delight. He remembered Bertha's attitudes and her movements; he imagined how much more kindly she might have meant than she had said, and he blessed her that sho had yielded to his prayers when he so nearly had lost her forever. But what cculd sho have been afraid of, how could Jane Ellingsworth harm her? What was there in her history worse than he knew Poor little girl, could there be anything more terrible than what he had forgiven? How far she was from knowing how wonderful a thing love can be? Well, he might as well look at Ellingsworth'-s newspaper now as any time, he was not able to sleep apparently. Who could it be that had found his level at last? Philip struck a match and lit the gas. Then be fumbled in his pockets and finding the newspaper at last, unfolded it, looking or the marked paragraph. It was not in the editorials, nor in the locals. Philip turned the inner pages out, nor in the political news. It couldn't be an advertise ment; yes it was this: Divorcee obtained without trouble or pub licity for any cause desired. Address, in strictest confidence, John T. Gidding. No. 4 Errick square. Lockout. "The idea," laughed Philip to himself, "of my getting up to read his card in another paper. I hope I shall never hear of him again now."' CHAPTER XXV. WHAT ABE WE WATTnCO FOB? The bay span were tossing their heads im patiently at the gate, and still the young hridegroom delayed in his house. It was the evening he was to be married, and when he entered the arched doorway again Bertha would be with him. So he must make one final tour of his home to see if there was any last finishing stroke of work necessary to make it worthy of his beautiful bride He found all his servants, the new grace ful maid to wait upon the door, the portly butler to wait upon the table, and all; and in structed them carefully in their duties. The in tricate domestic mechanism must work with not one jar or rattta to disturb the new mis tress. He went into the drawing room and looked about him. The grand piano that had been closed and locked so long was open, and the music placed on the rack as if it were but yesterday that Bertha had sat before it He remembered bow her round, white arm had outdazzled the ivory keyboard the last time he had seen her here. The chintz covers had been removed from the furniture, whose blue damask upholstery seemed fairly smil ing with delight to have escaped from its mask. In the embrasure of the window look ing out to the street, where the three laborers had stood the evening our story commences, lay a little volume of exquisite engravings, as if some admirer had just put it down. Philip glanced at the page where it was open. It was a Magdalene; and a shadow passed over his face at the suggestion. Ha turned a few leaves and spread tha volume open again. This tune iff wsj Margoarita. ImoatisflUT he closed the book, which seemed to have no beautiful picture but it would insult his bride. He had not made the slightest change in the study his father's room where he had learned too to fight out his spiritual battles. It would lie a profanation to alter one feat ure of the room; it should be always as it was tho day Ezekicl Breton died. Philip opened the door and looked in for a moment, then with a full heart he made his way up the oaken stairs. Tho room he next entered was furnished in the shade of blue thai Bertha lovod best, the silk upholstered lounge that made ono drowsy to look at it, the sleepy hollow easy chair, the dressing table and toilet set Over the wiudows hung lambrequins of a darker tint, softened again, bovsv.er, in the flowing curtains below. Even tho drop lamp had a bluo porcelain shade so that no such thing as white light should over enter Bertha's boudoir. Philip imagined her sit'iug in the easy chair liftiug her eyes wondcringly to him, her husband, who never grev tired of telling her sho was beautiful; orhn pictured her asleep on tho lounge one white hand by her side, the other beneath her cheek. How much of his thoughts wero vague dreaming? Could it be she "as at iont to be his; lighting the glegmy old kous with the radiance of her presence? Al! hi-- other lift faded iu his memory at the brii,l't.i2 of his joy in her. It seemed n small thing to him that he had lifted 1,000 lives Into a new plane ot existence that he had given hope to 1,000 desivrate hearts compared with tho hope of making this one woman happy and of living in hex smiles. But he suddenly started from his fond "ev ery, and passed into another room, all as white as somo cave in a mountain of snow. The mantel was of marble, the curtains cloud like masses of snowy lace: aud eveu the upholstery of tho chairs, and the carit was white damask. His heart boat fast as ho stood for a moment in the chamber, then he went softly out and locked the door liehind him, so that no foot should cross its sacred threshold till its mistress came. It was to be a very quiet wedding no guests, no cards, no banquet. Tho shortest laid simplest form that could make n man and woman one was enough. But the hour was past, aud yet there was no wedding; tho bride, all dressed, waited to be called from her room; the young bridegroom paced to and fro across the parlor floor. There was no minister. The clock struck the half hour. It was ludf tiast eight. Mr. Ellingsworth sat in tho parlor reading the evening paper in unbroken tranquility. Philip was wondering where Jane could be; whether she was indeed pre paring a terrible blow for the white bosom of his bride. What could she do? "Ah! I think I hear tho carriage," re marked Mr. Ellingsworth, laying aside his paper with a little yawn. "From which direction," asked Philip, listening eagerly, while the feverish blood rushed into his face. Mr. Ellingsworth went to the window. 44 Why, from both directions. It sounds to me like two carriages. I will go out and see." Philip hurried to the window and raised it, but it was pitch dark; he could see nothing. Who could be in that second carriage? He wanted to be called, but no one came for him. He heard the doors open and shut, and indis tinguishable voices, but no one called him. Then he made his way out into the hall in vague terror. He thought of his bride wait ing up stairs, and set his teeth for the worst. No earthly power, no vileness of calumny, no shameful disclosures should move him. His bride waited for him, ready to bo his when he called for her. Ah! he would not shame her, though all hell hissed at her. But how fanciful he was. He could hear tho mild mannered minister talking in his polite tones. He caught his complacent laugh. Thank God for it. Nothing could hav.- hap pened. He walked along the halL The voices une from the dining room. There was the minister's laugh again. He pushed open the door and went in. The minister rose, with the especial defer ence for wealth that marks many of the priests of God, and gave the young man's hand an affectionate squeeze. "No doubt Mr. Breton is ready. It is the bridegrooms who should always be impatient I believe I am right, am I not, Mrs. Ellingsworth f Mrs. Ellingsworth Philip started violently and the color left his face. She had returned in time then. "Not always," she smiled strangely and reached out her hand to Philip. It was but a woman's hand, small and velvety, but he touched it as if thero were a dagger in its white palm. He knew by the look of evil triumph in her face that she had not been away for nothing. Could it be thero was anything worse than ho had forgiven ulroady some page of Bertha's lifo so black no depth of love could cover it t A deadly f aiut ness was upon him. "I have brought two visitors," she went on; showing the tips of her white teeth iii a beautiful smile. To be sure, there sat a portly woman with tho slightly elevated chin of a certain variety of the sex when on its dignity. But Jane said "two" where was the other? Ah, tho other was in the woman's lap. It was a baby. Mr. Ellingsworth had a very peculiar expres sion on his face to-night, as if his wifo wero disappointing him. It was rather a danger ous look if Jane had understood it Sho was offending his elegant tastes extremely by bringing to his house a vulgar, fussy old woman aud her baby whom she, no doubt, had picked up on the railroad cars. Philip stood nervously tumbling bis watch chain, and waiting for a blow to fall on him, he did not know whence. It was a little baby's hand that caught at Philip's arm, aud he turned to look into its great star like blue eyes. He had seen that same marvelous tint in cheeks before, and a cold horror of recognition darted through his soul. He tried to lift his sjiell bound eyes, and they rested instead on the face of Jane Ellingsworth, which was lit up with a fiend ish exultation as she held the child up to him. "What not kiss the baby." she laughed gayly. "Sueh a pretty baby, too; why it really has complexion and eyes like Bertha's." She did not cease to look at his shrinking face. "But its mouth and chin"' Some thing made him look at the baby's features as she mentioned them, and then he shud dered; it was too terrible, "are more like somebody else I know." Her small, flashing black eyes seemed burning their way to his very brain. "Who is itF She bent toward him so that her hot lips seemed almost to kiss his ear. "Curran," she whispered. Could he not tear himself away from her poisonous breath? "Not so strange, though P She let the baby put its chubby hands into his hair, though she saw every touch was a thrust through the quivering fibers of his heart She fancied he did not understand, he was so still and silent "Not strange that a child should look like its father." Had the young bridegroom forgotten all about his wedding and the beautiful woman up stairs wondering why she was not called? It seemed so, for he 6at down, and they foist ed the pretty baby on him, and his face wore a ghastly smile as he looked at it. Once, at an expression in the little face, he caught it to his lips, but as suddenly he thrust tho child into the nurse's lap aud rose to his feet 44 What are we waiting forP His face was like marble for firmness, and it seemed af dead. Jane drew him quickly into the hall. "You are not going to marry the mother of that" "Hush," and her woman's soul quailed at the look he bent on her. "If you dare to whisper a word to Bertha, or show her that child" "I thought you would thank me," whis pered the false lips. She saw it was all in vain her journey to Vineboro. She had fol lowed Bertha's tracks like a bloodhound, and had found her fatherless child in a stranger's home, learning to forget its high bred mother. Now surely she must suffer repulse and dis dain as the poor factory girl had Buffered it in her very wedding dress. For tho sight of this baby face would chill the most ardent love that ever burned in a bridegroom's heart But no. This man's love was deeper than tho sentiment and vanity that commoaly makes the chief part of what is absurdly called pas sion. His faith waa so sublime, shame was ashamed before it His faca had lighted np at her words. "Oh I will thank you a thou a thousand times if you will send that woman and the child away." He had taken her hands, cake do it" "Jane, for God's He would have given her a fortune, hat she had sold herself once, mid her price faa enough. He could only pray to her in all the phrases of entreaty the agonies ot life have taught mankind. "They shall leave the bouse at race," she said at last, as she turned to go bacJj Into the room. He thought his pravasnai moved her. Hut sbs itnm hw pict iwd riid; ahe had wrung his heart, but his will was un moved. She made a virtue' of her necessity: Philip would 1m grateful to her forever, but there would be something else, perhaps. Such hate as vn could not be turned aside by so feeble a thing as pity. "How pale you are, Philip. Are you afraidf' and Bertha smiled royally on him as sho took his arm, and they passed up the hall. "I am tho happiest man in the world,"' and he tried to smile as his hand closed over her fingers like an iron vise, it was so cold and strong. But how sad he was, as if an exquisite piece of sculpture that he loved had fallen from a groat height nnd been shivered into a thousand fragments. The hope and joy of his life seemed slipping awn- from him. That little child's face hung between him and the brido who was promising to be faith fulif she only had been faithful to him; its baby hands soemed to shield her bosom from him, itJ quavering cries to reproach him for daring to ki.ss its mother. So small and sweet a baby, but its fuce seemed threat ening him, its infant form linked iudissolu bly a past he had hoped he might forget with a present aud future he had foolishly thought had a great store of happiness for him. The minister had taken his seat. Was ho really married to t. e goldeu haired woman whose hand he held u tightly? Was this tho moment ho had dre.- i-"-l of as marking his entrance into a new -.. il lifo? Had ho said everything correctly? lie could not remem ber, but he did not want any mistake made about this at least. Oh yes, it was now he was to kiss his wife. He held her to his heart an instant This was his ;ne, but joy was dead behind his dry, feverish lips, nnd his smile, meant to cheer her, was as if some terrible pain was gnawing every moment at his heart. But Bertha appeared to notice nothing wrong. The train which bore iiway the bridal puir hud not traveled a great mm: i iles when something caused Philip to look in tho seat behind them. There sat the jiortly woman, with her chin ut last depressed iu slumber, and the baby with Bertha's eyes and Cumin's mouth. One of Bertha's coils of hair had become loosened, and a braid of goldeu hair huug over the buck of the seat as she let her head rest on her husband's shoulder. Ber tha's eyes were clo-il drowsily, the nurse in tne seat iiemna uouuea m iter urenms, uia the child reached out its baby hands to play with its mother's golden tresses. The young husband watched the child's lips forming again and again one word, "mamma," tho wife fell asleep aud dreamed she was the hap- picst woman in the world, while beneath her bead every throb of the man's heart was an 1 acba.

It will hardly be believed by thoe who have not lived long in France that, al though the republic has been established seventeen years, and for the last nine j ears at least it has been an anti-clerical republic, it has only just been decided that the marriage of a priest is legal, and that the children by such marriage are legitimate.

Hair the Air Brake Works. Said a railroad man to me today: "I'll bet not one in a hundred of the people who travel on railroad trains understand how the pressure of air is used to apply the brakes to a train. When the air brake was first invented the air was turned into the cylinder under each car when the car was to be stopped, and the pressure was exerted to force the brakes ifp against the wheels. But at the presj cut day the brakes are held against the wheels by springs, and the air is turned into the cylinders to push the brakes away from the wheels as long as the train is in motion. When it is desired to stop the train the air is let out. aud then the springs apply the brakes a::d stop the train. This last method of using air pressure has great advantaged over the old way on the core of safety. "Whenever an accident happens to a train one of the first effects it is apt to have is to rupture the air pipes leading from the engine to the cylinders under the cars; aud that of itself stops the train in stantly. It is very important for ev6ry body to understand this matter, because a child " years old can stop a train iu thirty seconds from any car in the train if he simply understands how. You will see, if you look for it, that there is a sort of rope projecting from the toilet room of every car. That connects with the air pipes under the train. If you catch hold of it and give it a little jerk it will stop the train before it has gone 200 yards." Chicago Journal. Iho Counting Machine in Itussln. I have been in four or five of the largest ban!- i iu Utis.sia aud many of the most ex tensive commercial and railroad houses, and nowhere haw I fceen figuring done by pen or pencil, like they do iu America and Kn'lnnd. The Chinese counting machine, seen occasionally in the hands of John and Jap in the United States, is every where. If you buy a pair of socks for fifty kopecks and a handkerchief for seventy-five kopecks, the shopkeeper, even the brightest and oldest and most expe rienced, has to go to his machine to learn the result one double, twenty-five ko pecks. I venture that there are not a dozen bankers in Russia who would at tempt to discount any draft, or issue a letter of credit, or change a ten rouble note into kopecks, without pushing back and forward for some time the strings of colored buttons in his machine, indicating numerals. But it is wonderful how adept some of them are in the use of the count ing machine. You may buy a bill of goods ever so large. The salesman keeps the machine beside him, pushing out the numerals as the purchases are made, and the instant you call for your bill he re peats the total. The Russians were taught most of their business knowledge by the Chinese and Turks, and these counting machines arc yet indispensable in all Oriental places of business. Moscow Cor. New Orleans Times-Democrat The Seal's Domestic Discipline. Travelers have often said that there seemed to be something human about the seal, aud one story told here seems to give it confirmation. It is about the breeding rookery, where the seal pups are in the nursery, so to speak. "It is certain," says Tingle, "that half the pups are born mates, and that pups equal to 00 per cent of cows on the rookeries go into the water that is, exclusive of the young cows which come upon the rookeries for the first time to meet the males. The estimate his; of 10 ier cent, is caused by bulls in preserving rigid discipline and administer ing necessary correction iu the manage ment of their domestic affairs. Their idea of a female's duty does not admit of any little indi-crotious, and at the slightest sign of deviation, regardless of conse-quesccs-, they quickly pounce upon the offending female and shake her by the neck. A iiiimlier of pups arc also lost by iK'ing washed off the rocks by the surf and drowned, before they have learned to swim. Fully one-half the pups which go to sea iu the fall return ns yearlings the following spring, the absent ones having furnished food for their natural enemies in the water. Boston Advertiser. As It Happened. A clock ticked merrily among the pas sengers on a Cass avemus car the other clay, and one passenger after another looked up cheerfully and said: "That sounds good! Where is the ticker?" No one seemed to know. One little woman with her arms full of packages fidgeted and looked uncomfortable. "That isn't a clock yon hear," said n distraught, wild looking man who sat near the door; "it's my heart you hear beat ing, gentlemen!" Kverybody looked at him sympatheti cally, when a man in the corner who had been reading a paper suddenly jumped up. 'What's that drip, drip, over there Be keerful, ma'am, that lamp's leakin'! I kin smell kerosene!" At this moment the alarm in the clock went off, and the man who had heart dis ease rushed out of the car and was seen running wildly down the sidewalk, while the little wumau with the clock rang the bell aud carried off the cause of the dis turbance. Detroit Free Press. Lincoln Never Read a Novel. While Edwin Forrest was playing an engagement at Ford's theatre, Mr. Car penter spoke to the president one day of the actor's fine interpretation of the char acter of Richelieu, and advised him to witness the performance. The conver sation occurred in the presence of Senntor Harris, of New York. "Who wrote the play-" asked the president of Mr. Car penter. "Kulwer," was the reply. "Ah!" he rejoined, "well, I knew Uul wer wrote novels, but I did not know he was a play writer also. It may seem .somewhat strange to say," he continued, 'but I never read an entire novel in my life." Said Judge Harris, "Is it possi ble?" "Yes" returned the president, "it is a fact. I once commenced 'Ivan hoe,' but never finished it." Folding Barrels. Barrels are made in Jersey for tho use of the channel island farmers which will fold up when empty, and thus, having been sent to market, can be packed into a small space on the return. The staves are fixed upon the hoops so that, the heads being removed, they may be rolled up. They are made perfect cylinders, and therefore occupy less space for the same capacity than ordinary barrels. Dress. Itayard nnd HIh Daughter.

'4-1 To Save Life Frequently requires prompt action. An hour's delay waiting for the doctor may be attended with serious consequences, especially in cases of Croup, Pneumonia, and other throat and lung troubles. Hence, no family should be without a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, wluch has proved itself, in thousands of cases, the best Emergency Medicine ever discovered. It gives prompt relief and prepares the way for a thorough cure, which is certain to be effected by its continued use. S. H. Latimer, M. D., Mt. Vernon, 6a., says: " I have found Ayer's Cherry Pectoral a perfect cure for Croup in all cases. I have known the worst cases relieved in a very short time by its use; and I advise all families to use it in sud den emergencies, for coughs, croup, &c." A. J. Eidson, M. D., Middletown, Tenn., says: "I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral with the best effect iu my practico. This wonderful prepara tion once saved my life. I had a con stant cough, night sweats, was greatly reduced in flesh, and given up by my physician. One bottle and a half of the Pectoral cured me." "I cannot say enough in praise of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral," writes E. Bragdon, of Palestine, Texas, "believ ing as I do that, but for its use, I should long since have died."
