CHAPTER XXIV.
WOHAS'S SVMPATHY.
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

A Thoroughly rnrJeiati luriiient.
A remarkable cne of woman's ven
geance has just been disclosed. A young
artist, who is comparatively well known,
lived for a time with a milliner, who for
some months has been dying of consump
tion. During her illness a female friend
of hers used to visit her and s.it by her
bedside. The patient soon perceived that
an intrigue was on foot between her lover
and the friend. Accordingly she raised
herself suddenly in bed one evening while
the pair were talking near her and pushed
a petroleum lamp on them. The Haines
caught the dress of the hated rival, and
sho was almost burned to death. When
tho neighbors came the dying woman told
them that she had fully intended to set
the room on lire, so that she, her lover
and her rival might perish in the flames.

Recent Uccislons In Franco.
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. "The question has at length
been settled by the court of cassation,
which has upset the decision of an in
ferior court, by declaring that the chil
dren of au ex-Catholic priest, who left
the church to join the movement led by
M. Loyson (Pere Hyacinthe, at Notre
Dame)," were entitled to inherit their
father's property, which had been dis
puted by collaterals. Paris Letter.
A Pointer on tho Lumber Duty.
"I see," said a Michigan lumberman,
"that the area of Canadian timber limit3
sold during the past fourteen years aver
ages about $-100 a square mile, while the
sale of A)0 square miles on Dec. 13 aver
aged T2,9.")7 a square mile all on account
of the prospect of the duty being taken
off. I would like to have the congress
man who thinks that the millcnium of
cheap lumber is to follow the taking off of
the tariff put this in his pipe nnd smokv it
calmly and deliberately." Chicago Inter

The free trade organs have wisely con

duty. And then just think of the vast
amount of information which they have
not yet obtained in regard to the tariff gen

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."

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.

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.

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."
