On Thursday afternoon last, when the wind was blowing a gale, the cit­izens of this village were alarmed by the cry of fire and were not long in getting tq the scene, when it was found that fire was just breaking out of the roof of Mrs. Colby's kitchen. Had the village had any fire protect­ion whatever it would have been an asy matter to have put out the flames

but with but little water available, and the strong wind there was noth­ing left to do but carry out furniture and save surrounding buildings. The fire made quick work and it was but a short time before the fine substan­tial brick house was in ruins.

Everyone worked heroically or many other buildings would have paid trib­ute to Pinckney's folly,—no fire pro­tection. As it was fire caught sever­al times on Hi W. Crofoot's.house and barn alsj H. J. Clark's barn but

"thosewho were there were guarding them and did not let it get a start. ' Much of the household goods were saved but loss still falls heavily. Mrs. E. W.Martin who occupied part of the house was also a loser although much of her goods were saved. The bouse and contents belonging to Mrs. Colby was insured for $1,200. Mrs. E. W. Martin's goods were insured for $500.

Mr. and Mrs. Colby are now situat­ed in the hotel and Mrs. Martin moved her goods into Mrs. LaRue's house on Main street. It is not known at this time whether tbe house will be re­built or not.

Shall We Have Fire Protection?

Since the above article was written tie council have had their regular meeting and offered resolutions which will be found on another page, giving the citizens a chance to vote on the matter of a small bond for fire pro* tection. Thus it will be the citizens' fault if something 13 not done in the matter.

Knowing the feeling that exists in the matter, we have no doubt but the vote will be unanimously in favor of 4h^^©nd.—^he- expense will-not—be but little on any one and the saving may be great.

A mad-dog Scare.

One day last week Henry Barton bad his dog sheared and about that time the dog got into a fight with a dog belonging to Matt Brady. Mr. Barton's dog began to act strangely snapping at things and bitting several other dogs until Saturday when he was killed.

Tbe dogs that were bitten are being watched closely, most of them being shut up tor fear of madness. It is claimed however that it may not ap­pear for several months and, then de­veloped rabies. Dog-days will soon be here and it would be well to guard those dogs bitten or muzzle them. One human life is worth more in some people's eyes than many dogs.

The! Platform. ' The fcepublioams of the state of Michi-

8an, through their chosen representatives, nlte with theft* fellow Republicans, met

•recently in national convention^ i"in look­ing back upon an unsurpassed record of achievement, in looking forward into a great field of duty and responsibility and In appealing to the Judgment of their countrymen," and make these declara­tions of principles: .

We Indorse tne administration of our il­lustrious leader, President William Mc-Klnley. We commend his'wise and patri­otic course in the cpnduct of the late war and his far-seeing and beneficent policy in relation to the government of the islands of the sea which, by the fortunes, of war, have come to us for protection and guid­ance.

We especially commend and indorse the action and work of our senators and rep­resentatives in congress in establishing our currency upon a sound basis; and we commend the legislation of congress look­ing toward the establishment of suitable government for newly acquired territory; promoting the general prosperity and In its efforts to restrain trusts and monopo­lies.

We cordially and enthusiastically in­dorse the platform of principles adopted by the Republican national convention at Philadelphia June 19. 1900, and the splen­did ticket nominated; ami we pledge to President Wm. McJhLinley and Gov. Theo­dore Roosevelt our unite*! and energetic support.

in asking the people of Michigan to in-uo-s? the princlu.es of our party, we re­mind them of the fact that all the busi­ness Interests of the state have prospered under Republican rule, and that a change now would be disastrous.

We again declare our allegiance to the gold standard, believing that the free and unlimited coinage of silver by this nation alone would briny: about untold disasters.

We place our stamp of disapproval upon all combinations of capital tending to re­strict competition in business, to create monopolies, to limit production or to con­trol prices, and v,e favor legislation to that end.

| We sympathize with the people of the South .African republic in their struggle

, for liberty and independence, and we commend President McKinley for prorr.pt-

I ly tendering- tho friendly offices of this j government In the'interest jett peace; and

wliile the American government, follow­i n g t h e established precedent of pon-tn-

! terference in foreign affairs, must main-j tain a position of strict neutrality, never­

theless we earnestly hope that honorable red .-ews Its alle

The body was discovered a short distance above thb town by dogs be­longing to Wi l l iam Tayson. Their barking attracted the owner's atten­t ion, w h o notified the coroner. The man was dead, aod the revolver with which he killed himself w a s ly ing be­side him.

Dr. Piner threw h im t o the floor and disarmed him. Ware w a s arrest­ed and released on 11,000 bond.

Mi O n ^ 52 A Fascinating

Romance

Alan Adair. >**0

" ^ "

CHAPTBRI. "Its tho only thing to do," said Alan,

thrusting bit'brad* into his pockeis and looking straight before him. "Here there Is nothing for me, and, as you say, there is nothing to keep me here. It was her wUh besides; and yet—yet I hat* leaving it."

"I can, well understand It, lad. I was the same. It is Just in us Scotch- such a high opinion, and who was, men, this love of the land* And I had Joen, too, to keop me hire* and so I've just stuck on and made a precarious living, and I've but staved off the evil1

days, for now my boys will have to go. We can't make a living In the old country, and there's no Joan, Is there?" asked the old man, kindly.

"No. No woman has Bver bsen any­thing to me except my mother," said the lad.

"Well, well; time enough; there's sure to be," said Masphorson. "A fine lad like you!" As a matter of fact, the old man said, "Weel, weel," but that did not take away from the kindliness of his speech. You've always got a friend in me. I wish 7 could help you substantially; but that isn't easy. Still, if you need It, I can make a push as well as my neighbors."

"Thank you kindly," said Alan Mac­kenzie, "but there will be no need of It. The sale of my poor little sticks will pay my passage money and there's a good place waiting for me when I get out, so that there will be no need for me to go borrowing. I wish I felt a little more -enthusiasm about making money. It's safd to be in Scots' blood, but it isn't in me. I would fain stop here and watch the clouds settling rorad the hilltops all the rest of my life than go to South America, and make my fortune. Yet because my mothor wished it, and because she was so overjoyed when the offer came to me, I feel It is just my duty to.do it, neither more nor less."

It did-not take long for Alan Mac­kenzie to sell his few possessions, acid to turn his back upon the little Scotch town. He was going as far as Glas­gow, to take a steamer to South Am­erica. His story was simply this: A lad to Whom his father had once given a free passage to South America had done so well at Rio that he was now one of the foremost merchants there. He had remembered his benefactor.and when he heard of the captain's death, had written and offered a good place in his counting house to Alan Macken­zie. Mrsy Mackenzie was dying of a painful disease, and she saw In this offer a future for her son who she so tenderly loved, and she was keen that he should accept it. So that when she died there seemed nothing for the lad to do but to go.

He was a good looking lad, standing about six feet in his stockings. He had passed hU twenty-first birthday, but he was younger than lads gener­ally are at 21, having no experience in the world, and none of men and wom­en. He had worked at school always^ having been fond of his books, and he had played outdoor games, so that he had very little knowledge of either the usual amusements or the perplexities of life.

When he had finally said good-by to his native place his spirits began to rise wlthfci him. The world and ad­venture were before him. He had said good-by to the old life, but the -new was there. He had never been so far as Glasgow before, and the big town, with its lighted streets and the ships in the river, attracted him. After all,

boldea to his wife for his advance­ment So that although he was on terms or perfect friendship with Ina and Eleanor Dempster, yet he neither sought nor wished for any stronger feeling.

The girls looked with favor on the handsome young Scotsman, who work* ed so hard, of whom their father had

things. Large enterprises and wealth attracted and had charms after all. So that it was with a lighter heart that Alan Mackenzie embarked finally.

He loved the voyage. Heredity eouats for something and his father had loved the sea. He felt it was his own ele­ment. When he reached Rio It was with high hopes and resolves to make his mark. He had a kind reception from Richard Dempster,and here again Alan felt the charm of rlehes and power. Dempster's house was one of

moreover, always perfectly willing to be at their beck and call.

Alan soon found friends Ja Rio. Dempster's position was almost unique and when it became known that he looked with favor on the young Scots­man, every one joined in maktag fun of him.

Most of the employes in the firm were married, and they constituted a little circle to themselves, Alan had the run of their houses, and sopn be­gan to feel at home; however, amongst them there WP.S one man to whom he never took. Aa EngHshmanr Hutch­inson by name, a surly, red-haired brute, with a magnificent head for fig­ures. He was the one man whom Mac­kenzie did not like, although he had never quarreled with him; but he fancied that it seemed as if Hutchin­son had a particular grudge again3t him.

This surmise .on Alea's part was well founded, for, as a matter of fact, when Dempster found him so Intelligent, he had thought it might be well to raise him to Hutckinson's place.

There was— some mystery about Hutchinson. He lived in a house some little way out of town, and no one knew exactly whether he was married or inot. Some affirmed that he had a daughter, who has almost reached woman's estate; others said that he never made any mention of any one. But, as a matter of fact, Hutchinson never mentioned his private affairs at all, so it ofras not wonderful.that the rest of the firm knew nothiag about them.

But one day there came some rather important tidings to the firm. Richard Dempster consulted Alan, and he offered to talk over the matter with Hutchinson. It was after business hours, and the young man'offered to find the Englishmen. He had not the least idea of spying upon him, because he had so many friends that he had no need to seek any, and he was actu­ated solely by the wish to be useful to his employer in what might become advantageous.

South American affairs have not the stability of ours. A day's delay, even a few hours, might mean the loss of ms»iy thousand^. So Alan obtained Hutchinson's address from Dempster, and, in all good fr.lth, went to find his colleague. It took him some little time to find the house. It was quite out of Rio, and was more of a country house than a tovn house.

When he found it he was amazed at the beauty of his surroundings. It seemed to him that Hutchinsoa lived

even in greater style than did Demps­ter, and that probably he did not wish this to be known. There was no rea­son why Hutchinson should not live as a rich man. He drew a large salary from Dempster, and there were many ways iti which he could enlarge his means.

Alan rode on through avenues of trees, fresh bowers of fruit and flow­ers, gorgeous in their tropical wealth of color, and suddenly as he rode it seemed to him that he heard the sound of a woman sobbing. He reined in hi3

there was something pleasing in big I horse so as to make sure; he still

the best in .Rio. his clerks were well Alan w?.tched her for a moment and paid, and his wife and daughters occu­pied a place secoid to none In society. Dempster wanted Alan to become ac­customed to the work, and then to found another branch of the house in a mining town some hundred miles away.

Dempster had two daughters, fine, fresh, handsome girls, but no sons. The obvious thtag would have been for Alan Mackenzie to have fallen in love with one of the girlsTto^Eftve-set­tled down comfortably and prosper­ously in Rio; but there was one thing against it. There was a little vein of romance in Alec's nature, and he die? liked the obvious. Besides, he had the J&dependent man's dislike to being Be­

ll ear d the sound. The spirit of adven­ture burned hot with'a him; the cry­ing was so piteous, and Alan could not bear to~ hear it. It was like that of some girl in pain.

He fastened hi3 horse to a tree, for­getting all about the financial crisis and his errand. All the chivalry in his nature was stirred. He pulled aside the boughs of the trees and came to an open glade. A girl dressed in white had thrown herself on the ground; her slight body was shaking with sobs.

"Struck you? The brute!" cried Alan. "The detestable brute! How dare, he strike a woman?"

The girl's eyes were cast down; she seemed ashamed. Perhaps she bad not yet realized her womanhood complete­ly; she seemed very young. "He has a violent temper, sir, and perhaps I do act manage him well. I have no moth­er; she died years ago."

"Fortunately for her," said Alan grimly, "if your father is the sort of man who would strike a woman!"

"You see," said the girl, "it seems that this is important. My father had promised my hand to a man—he is a Mexican Spaniard, and they think nothing of arranging marriages for you; but I could not marry him. I said so, rod my father is not used to being thwarted. He was angry at something in business, too, so the moment, perhaps, was hardly chosen well."

"Your father is not Hutchinson, of the firm of Dempster?" said Alan. Somehow it did not seem to him likely that Hutchinson could be the father of such a beautiful girl, md yet it was not unlikely, seeing that he had found her there.

"Yes," she said. "Do you know him?"

"I work in his office," said Mackenzie shortly.

"Ah!" The girl looked up shyly. "Are you Mr. Mackenzie?"

"Yes," said Alan. "Has he spoken of me at all?"

"He does not like you," answered the girl. "He would not like me to be talking to you. He would be more displeased if he thought that you knew he had struck me."- - •-—. —

"He should not have done it, thca," said Alan shortly. "The coward! I can well believe it of him!"

"You do not know him?" she said, very anxiously. "But do not quarrel with him! It is not good to thwart him!"

"Possibly not," said Alan, "but these considerations do not affect me, you see."

Her lips quivered, but she did not weep again. "They might affect mc, though," she said, timidly.

"How?" "If he Iview that I had told you. He I

does not like me to speak to say one. I have to bear it all alone," said the girl.

Alan looked indignant. "I shall not betray you, Miss Hutchinson," he said, "but I wish " •

"You must wish nothing,^ said"the girl, and she colored. "You must for­get that you saw me weep. I am proud, and it troubles me;~

"I wish I had no cause," he B«I-swered; "but I have business with your father. I hope I may see you again."

She hesitated. "You will not tell father you have seen me?" she said. "He Is strange—he does not like it to be known that he has a daughter, ex­cept to his Spanish and Mexican friends."

"I will say nothing,'1 said Alan; "but I meta to see you again."

He lifted his hat, found his horse* and rode up to the house.

feet long, and on either side, connected by coloaades, will be the lesser build­ings, each 150 feet square. The gov­ernment work Is under the direction of James Knox Taylor, supervising architect of the treasury department. The group will be treated architectur­ally in a modified Spanish renaissance, the details suggesting a Mexican rather than a strictly Spanish origin. Like.the others, these buildings will be constructed of staff, already made familiar to the public by its use at the Chicago and more recent Omaha exposition. The color scheme, in marked contrast to that used at Chi­cago, will be rich and brilliant, the lavish use of color and the gilding giving, with the intricate plastic dec* orations and sculpture groups, an en­semble both striking and interesting. Portions of the roofs, covered with red Spanish tiles, will add much to the 'character of the building as a whole. In plan, the buildings are shaped like a letter U, the opening being toward the west. The main building corre­sponds to the bottom of the U, which will accommodate the greater portion of the government exhibits, th'e admin­istrative offices, guard room, etc. Its center will be surmounted by a dome, the apex of which, 250 feet above the main floor level and crowned with a figure of Victory 20 feet in hight, will form one of the most conspicuous fea­tures of the exposition grounds. Con­nected by colonnades to the main building are the two lesser buildings or pavillions, one of which is intended to hold an exhibition typical of lifo and labor in the government's new possessions; while the other will con­tain a branch station of the United States weather bureau, and the ex­hibit, aquariums, etc., of the United States fish commission. Inlets from the lagoon fill the spaces within the colonnades connecting the pavilions with the main building. The central piazza, the space enclosed by the arms of the U, is decorated by steps, ter­races and formal flower beds, making an easy and beautiful approach to the main.entrance under the dome.

then he spoke. "You seem in trouble,'* he said in English, for, though the girl's head was dusky, yet she did not look altogether Spanish. "Can I help you?"

The girl, startled by the voice, sprang up, and showed to Alan's gaze a face, disfigured by weeping, it is true, buTot a perfect type of beauty. There was Spanish blood In her, as was testi­fied by the liquid, dark eyes, and the perfect oval of her face, and the slim, yet well-shaped limbs. Her mouth, too, quivering with emotion, was ripe and red, and the little white teeth were even and sharp.

She looked up for a moment at the handsome lad, who was watch'og her

Ate Shamrock for Watercress. On the eve of St. Patrick's day a Bir

mingham woman, thinking the supply of shamrock might give out, took the precaution to buy a large quantity. She carefully placed the plant in a small dish, with plenty of water in, and let it remain on the table in the sitting room. Somehow it was late before the husband returned home that night, in fact it was midnight when the latchkey was heard at work. Per­haps it was business worry, but his footsteps sounded somewhat irregular, a trifle unsteady, as it were, but the wife heard him go into the sitting room, where he remained some time. Eventually he silently crawled up to bed. Next morning, what was the wife's surprise tj see nothing but the roots of the shamrock left in the dish. Hurrying up to her still sleeping spouse, she aroused him, and asked him what he had done with it. "Sham­rock, what BhamTock?" he heavily in­quired. "Why, that I left in the glass dish downstairs." "That! Was that shamrock? Why, I ate it; I thought it was mustard and cress!" After that fairy tales were useless.—Weekly Tele­graph.

L O N D O N OMNIBUSES.

An American Girl Describes the Odd Vehicles.

A San Francisco girl in writing of her experiences in London, amusing­ly describes the street omnibuses. She says: "Several times I have seen them stop for an old lady, but never for a young woman, unless it is one of their stopping places or a number want to get on or off. You wave your hand and the conductor signals you ce come on,. He rings, the driver slows down a little and then you run. If you succeed in getting near enough the conductor grabs you and gives you a boost that sends you flying half way up the spiral stairway that takes you up on top. Then you climb up and perhaps have to walk along the toti clinging to heads or shoulders or any­thing handy until you get a seat. By that time you are a long way on your journey. My skirts are long. I need both hands and I have yet to find a way of fastening my hat to my head so that it will stay on in these winds. I usually make severaT~atrempts~be­fore I finally succeed in getting onto an omnibus. I run a little distance and then give it up. I never can tell what 'bus I want until it is past, for they are all a flaming mass of ad­vertisements, with the destination of the 'bus in small letters somewhere. At night it is almost impossible t:-tell where they go, for they carry no lights and the streets are dark."

— Miss Long's Mission.

Miss Ruth T!ordls Long, a niece of the secretary of the navy, John D. Long, intends to be a gospel singer, and is full of enthusiasm about her new work. Two years ago, when in San Diego county, California, Miss Long was asked by the Christian En­deavor society if she would be willing to sing at some services to be held on board the United States steamship Monterey. She gladly consented and sang "Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight?" with so much effect that one of the sailors, a boy of about 20, came forward to her at the conclusion of the services and declared that the song as rendered by her had determin­ed him to lead a different life, and that he intended to write to his mother to that effect on that same night He gave Miss Long one of his cards, on which he wrote: 'May God bless you for showing one sinner the. true light." Miss Long carries the card in her purse as a keepsake of her first mis­sionary work. She also sang at a re­vival service at Worcester, Mass., not long ago, and since her return to Bos­ton from California, Miss Long has been engaged in church singing.

lican pasty to the minister? who set in the audience.

A machine man called the meeting to order, a machine man read the list of delegates chosen by the Howell machine, a machine man moved that tbey be delegates, a machine man sup­ported the motion, a m chine man put the motion, and the machine men hol­lered at the top of their voices "Yes." From the Herald :

To give a description of the events of about an hour would need the pow­er ot imagination able to picture "hell let lose." From the Brighton Argus :

"A hot time" would describe in a few words the Republican convention

-at-ftoweH Monday,—It was the hot­test ever held in this county. It was anticipated that there would be more or less trouble and the court house was full of delegates and spectators.

HOW OTHERS SAW IT.

The following clippings show how people in general looked upon the row at Howell at the repub­lican convention. We do not care which party it was, but any body of men* who allowed them­selves to run wild over a "boodle candidate," not only disgraced their party but the county: From the Republican:

The republican county convention at Howell, Monday, was certainly no honor to the people of Livingston couoty. The trouble did not begin in the convention but in the various township caucuses.

At the appointed hour J. W. Edgar chairman of the county commitee, called the convention to order, read the call and named Fred J. Cook as temporary chairman. Here pande­monium was let lose and it was al­most impossible for any one to hear what was said foi nearly an hour.

The REPUBLICAN has no excuse or apology to make for the peculiar methods used in the township caucus­es and in the convention. Such meth­ods are a disgrace to the county.

— In the recent friendly contest be­tween members of the same party, neither can shake the dust from their shirts and repeat thePharisee's praver. From the Democrat:

The convention was one of the most disgraceful and blasphemous ever helo! on Earth.

It was a slander to which the village of Howell should bring an action for exposing the corruption of the Repu b"

During last, Mav an infant-child of our neighbor was suffering from chol­era infantum. The doctors had given up all hopes of recovery, i took a bot­tle of Chamberlain's Cphc, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy to the house telling them I felt sure it would do good if used according to directions. In two days time the child had fully recovered. The child is now'vigor­ous and healthy. I have recommend­ed this remedy frequently and have never known it to fait.—Mrs. Curtis Baker, Book waiter, Ohio. Sold by F. A. Sigler Pinckney.

THE JOURNAL'S FIRE.

A MARK IN HISTORY.

On Sunday morning last the Jour­nal building at Detroit was destroyed by rire with a loss of about $65,000.

The burning of the Journal build­ing recalls to the mind3 of all the~ ful explosion in November, 1895. When thifty-seven lives were lost and the old Journal building wrecked.

Temporary headquarters for the business office have been established in a vacant building on the corner oppisite the burned structure. Soon after the extent of the damage became apparent the use of The Free Press building and plant was tendered Sir: Livingstone and he gratefully accep­ted the offer. So that the editorial rooms of the Journal will be tempor­arily located in The Free Press build­ing, whence the paper will issue.

On Thursday last the little vil­lage of Three Oaks made a mark in history un-parelled by any village of its size in the United States—that of unveiling the Dewey Cannon. Preparations had been made for months and everything came off an akedule time. 1

The exercises were opened by music, a chorus of 225 voices as­sisting and supporting Miss N. Estella Harrington, soprano, of Chicago. E. K» Warren, Mayor of Three Oaks gave,- the -address of Welcome and was followed in addresses by Gen. R. A. Alger of Detroit and Dr. W. E. Barton, of Chicago.

After the addresses Miss Helen M. Gould of New York stepped forward and amid a round of cheers and applause pressed an eletric button and the tent-like canvass that covered the cannon dropped f-iom its support in five sections each forming a point of a star and the colors red, white and blue. The national colors so ap-propriately formed was enough to stir the hearts of all "present and 10,000 voices were raised in a cheer that could almost have been heard in Pinckney and Chicago.

The entire day passed without an accident and the mayor as well as all who have labored so haid for this object are to be congratu­lated on its success. The adver­tising Three Oaks has got out of the affair will make the village one of the best known in the United States.

suppressed. This is a remarkable I showing, and contrasts strangely with the showing in the eities. Under the so-called "Gothenberg^ system, according to which the government takes the manage­ment of all sale of intoxicants, the cities of Sweden are said to be the most drunken in Europe.

The scorching, blistering shame is the mere introduction of the liquor traffic into this island. Ex­ample counts more with inferior races than does precept, and the prevalence of the drink habit in tbe army of occupation, even if

.confined to that army, would ^counteract a multitude of good in-j fluences.... The crime we are | thus committing is the more hei-| nous because we have, under the plea of civilizing and moralizing

I them, constitued ourselves the ! guardians of the Filipinos. Yet while treating them as wards to be protected against political dangers we leave them a prey to the Amer­ican saloonkeeper. It is a shame­ful situation, the more because the islands are under the military au­thority which licences the liquor traffic there by a mere order, can by a similar order suppress it.— New York Observer, Presbyterian.

We are informed by persons who have come here from there that before the American advent there were but two saloons in Ma­nila and drunkenness on the streets was so rare that many of the natives hardly knew its symp­toms. Now there are some 400 saloons^ somewhat the characteristics of a western "tough town." We don't know what excuse there can be for permitting this. The Ameri­can governor-general has pract­ically absolute power. He- was able to prohibit the entrance of Chinese into the islands "and to prohibit the importation of arms or any other article of commerce

F1LLIFINO GIRL'S, KIMO

A- s t tdtev- i iwevi tes Rte First Experience Witt* Title Article of Wearing Apparel.

It Is a shift waist with enormous sleeves, and teaching the waist line, but Is not belted down. It is made without buttons, and until I got accus­tomed to it was the most exasperating article of feminine wearing apparel I ever came across. The opening at tbe top is cut square, and if the maiden should hold her arms closely to her body something Would surely drop.

My experience with the aforemen­tioned "kimo" was one evening I paid my respects to an old genleman whose acquaintance I had made and whose daughter I had learned was one of tne local belles. After the salutations and introductions and a general conversa­tion, I asked the daughter of my host to "play the piano" for me. The girl about 18 years old, was rather a pretty girl, but too decidedly.of the brunette type to suit my Mississippi birth. Pbe was in full evening costume, hut the waist affair was what caught ray eye. As long as her arms were rkiuibo or her hands at some distance apart on the keyboard the affair held up, but when she crossed her hands I felt I should sure have to make my naim-beg-a-rabli (good night) with my back turned. But your Filippino maiden is equal to the occasion. With an in­voluntary twitch of the arm she ad-justs the slipping "kimo" and a slight exposure of a brown shoulder is all.

Beauty's Mouth . The mouth is the frankest part of

the face. It can the least conceal the feelings. We can neither hide ill-temper with it nor good. We may af­fect what we please, but affections will not help us. In a wrong cause lt_will only make our observers resent the endeavor to impose upon them. A mouth should be of good natural di­mensions, as well as plump in the lips. When the ancients, among their beau­ties, made mention of small mouths and lips, they meant small only as op­posed to an excess the other way, a fault very common in the South. The saying in favor of small mouths, which have been the ruin of so many pretty looks, are very absurd. If there must be ah excess either way, it had better be the liberal one. A .pretty, pursed-up mouth is fit for nothing but to be left to its "complacency. Large mouths are oftener found in union with gener­ous dispositions than very small ones.

ment, which you can purchase at the drug store, or, if you prefer, a good cold cream will answer as well: one dram alkanet. rot. Put the ointment or cream into the inside kettle of a custard boiler, Add the alkanet root. Keep them at a gentle heat—not boil­ing—until the ointment has acquired a rich, deep red color; then pass it through a coarse strainer. When the liquid fat has colled a little add twen­ty drops of balsam of Peru. Beat until cold, and during the beating add also eight drops of oil of cloves. This mnk?s a very excellent lip salve and is also healing.

A grim relic has Just been presented to a San Francisco museum. It is a "back-scratcher," once the property of the wife of a Fijian chief, which is made from the leg bone of a mission­ary who was killed and eaten by the islanders early in the century. The „ato owner inherited the item from his grandfather, but as his newly wedded wife would not permit him to keep in the house an article possessed of such gruesome associations, and so it was sent to the museum.

"A sympathetic strike" of a unique kind occurred in New Jersey the other day. A poor old horse was used in a certain department of a glass factory, but did not have the privilege which his human fellow-workmen enjoyed of "knocking eg"—when—the—whistle sounded. The men ' tried unsuccess­fully to obtain shorter hours for the old nag, and at last "struck," but gave notice that they would gladly resume work whenever the horse's hours of labor should be made to conform to their own. The newspapers are silent as to the result, but it is to be hoped .that matters have been settled to the satisfaction of all—especially of the horse.

(Copyright, 1800, by Louis Klopsch.) A remarkable illustration of the ubi­

quity of English speaking people is furnished by the requests that have reached Dr. Talmage in northern Eu­rope for a sermon in and out of the way places where he did not expect to find a single person who could under­stand him. There, as here, he pre­sents religion as a festivity and invites all the world to come as guests and join in its holy merriment;' text, John 11, 10, "Thou hast kept the good wine until now."

This chapter invites us to a mar­riage celebration. It is a-ivedding in common life, two plain people having pledged each other, hand and heart, and their friends having come in for congratulation. The joy is not th.3 less because there is no pretension. In each other they find all the future they want. The daisy in-the cup on the table may mean as much as a score of artistic garlands fresh from the hothouse. When a daughter goes off from home with nothing but a plain father's blessing and a plain mother's love, she is missed as much as though she were a princess. It seems hard after the parents have sheltered her for eighteen years, that in a few short months her affections should have been carried off by anoth­er, but mother remembers how it was in her own case when she was young, and so she braces up until the wed­ding has passed and the banqueters are gone, and she has a cry ail alone.

"Well, we are today at the wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus and his mother have -been invited. It is evi­dent that there are more people there than were expected. Either some peo­ple have come who were not invited or more invitations have been sent out than it was supposed would be ac­cepted. Of course there is not a suf­ficient supply of wine. You know that there is nothing more embarrassing to a housekeeper than a scant supply. Jesus sees the embarrassment, and he comes up immediately to relieve it. He sees standing six water pots. He or­ders the servants to fill them with water, then he waves his hand over the water, and immediately it is wine —real wine. Taste of it and see for yourselves. No logwood in ,it, no strychnine in it, but first rate wine. I will not now be diverted to the question so often discussed in my own country whether it is right to drink wine. I am describing the scene as it was. When God makes wine be makes the-- very best wine, and 130 gallons of it standing around in these water pots-rwine so good that the ruler of the feast tastes it and says: "Why, this is really better than any-thing we have had. Thou hast kept

miracle! A prize was offered to the person who should write the best es­say aboutthe miracle in Cana. Long manuscripts were presented in the competition, but a poet won the iJrize by just this one line descriptive of the miracle: "The conscious water saw its God and blushed."

Hides Hla Own Griefs. Jesus does not shadow the joys of

others with his own griefs. He might have sat down in that wedding and said: "I have so much trouble, so much poverty, so much persecution, and the cross is coming. I shall not rejoice, and the gloom of my face and of my sorrows shall be cast over all this group." So said not Je3us. He said to himself: "Here are two per­sons starting out in married life. Let it be a joyful occasion. I will hide my own griefs. I will kindle their joy." There are many not so wise as that. I know a household where there are many little children, where for two years the musical instrument has been kept shut because there has been trouble in the house. Alas for the folly! Parents saying: "We will have no Christmas tree this1 coming holiday because there has been trou­ble in the house. Hush that laughing up stairs! How can there be any joy when there has- been so much trou­ble?" And so they make everything consistently doleful and send their sons and daughters to ruin with the gloom they throw around them.

Oh, my dear friends, do you not know those children, will,have trouble enough of their own after awhile? Be glad they cannot appreciate all yours. Keep back the cup of bitterness from your daughter's lips. When your head' is down in the grass of the tomb, poverty may come to her, betrayal to her, bereavement to her. Keep back the sorrows as long as you can. Do you not know that that son may after awhile have his heart broken? Stand betwen him and all harm. "You may not fight his battles long. Fight them while you may. Throw.not the chill of your own despondency over his soul. Rather, be like Jesus, who came

to the wedding hiding his own grief and kindling the Joy* of others. So I have seen the sun on a dark day, struggling amidst clouds, blade, rag­ged and portentous, but after awhile the sun, with golden pry, heaved back the blackness. And the sun laughed to the lake, and the lake laughed to the sun, and from horizon to horizon, under the saffron sky, the water was all turned into wine.

The Bight to Laug-h. • I think the children of God have

more right to laugh than any other people, and to clap their hands as loudly. There is not a single joy de­nied'them that is gives to any other people. Christianity does not clip the. wings of the soul. Religion does not frost the flowers. What is Christian­ity? I take it to be simply a proc­lamation from the throne of God of emancipation for all the enslaved, and if a man accepts the terms of that proclamation and becomes free has he not a right to be merry? Suppose a father has an elegant mansion and large grounds. To whom will he give the first privilege of these grounds? Will he say: "My children, you must not walk through these paths, or sit down under these trees or pluck this fruit. These are for outsiders. They may walk in them." No father would say anything like that. He would say, "The first privileges in all the grounds and all of my house shali be for my own children.' And yet men try to make us believe that God's children are on the limits and the chief re­freshments and enjoyments of life are for outsiders and not for his own children. It is stark atheism. There is no innocent beverage too rich for God's child to drink, there is~ho robe too costly for him to wear, there is no hilarity too great Jor him to indulge in and no house too splendid for him to live in. He has a right to the joys of earth; he shall have a right to the joys of heaven. Though tribulation and trial and hardship may come to him,, let him rejoice. "Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous, and again I say rejoice."

I remark again that Christ comes to us in the hour of our extremity. He knew the wine was giving out before there was any embarrassment or mor­tification. Why did he not perform the miracle sooner? Why wait until it was all gone, and no help could comefrom any source, and then come in and perform the miracle? This is Christ's way, and when he did come in, at the hour of extremity, he made first rate wine, so that they cried out, "Thou hast kept the good wine until now." Jesu<? in the hour of extrem­ity! He seems to. prefer that hour. In, a Christian home in Poland great poverty had come, and on the week day the man was obliged *to move out of the house with his whole family. That night he knelt with his family and prayed to God. While they were kneeling in prayer there was a tap on the window^ pane. They opened the window, and there was a raven that the family had fed and trained, and it had in its bill a ring all set with pre­cious stones, which was found out to be a ring belonging to the royal fam­ily. It was taken UP to the king's residence, and for the honesty of the man in bringing it back-he—had a house given to him and a garden and a farm. Who was it that sent the raven tapping on the window? The same God that sent the raven to feed Elijah by the brook Cherith. Christ in the hour of extremity!

A Grander Wedding. The wedding scene is gone now. The

wedding ring has been lost, the tank­ards have been broken, the house is down^-but Jesus invites us to a grand­er wedding. You know the Bible says that the church is the Lamb's wife, and the Lord will after awhile come tc< fetch her home. There will be" gleaming of torches in the sky, and the trumpets of <Jod will ravish the air with their music, and Jesus will stretch out his hand, and the church, robed in white, will put aside her veil and look up into the face of her Lord, the King and the Bridegroom will say to the bride: "Thou hast been faith­ful through all these years! The man­sion is ready! Come home! Thou art fair, my love." And then he will put upon.her brow the crown of do­minion, and the table will be spread, and it will reach across the skies, and the mighty ones of heaven will come in, garlanded with beauty and striking their cymbal8, and the Bridegroom and bride will stand at the head of the table, and the banqueters, looking up, will wonder end admire and say: "That is Jesus, the Bridegroom! But the scar on his brow is covered with the coronet, and the stab in his side Is covered with> a robe!" And "That is the bride! The weariness of her earthly woe lost in the flush of this wedding triumph!"

There will be wine enough at that wedding; not coming up from the poi­soned vats of earth, but the vineyards of God will press their ripest clusters and the cups and the tankards will blush to the brim with the heavenly vintage, and then all the banqueters will drink standing. Bather, having come up from the bacchanalian rev­elry of Ahasuerus, where- a thousand lords feasted, will he there. And the

Sueen of Shaba, from the banquet of olomon, will /be there. And the

mother of Jesus, from the wedding in Cana, will be there. And they all will agree that the earthly feasting was poor compared with that Then, lift­ing their chalices in that l'ffht, they shall cry to the Lord of the feast, "Thou haat kept the good wine until now."

JAPANESE WOMEN.

Bathing-, MtH»|* and Hal* Dressing; Make Them Beautiful

The Japanese women who are con­sidered beautiful in their own coun* l?3f W0UI4 a?_t always be so considered in America^ They are nearly all very small, with little noses seemingly pressed into the face, drowsy, slanting lidded eyes, and a walk that is simply absurd, says the Detroit News-Tribune. Their beauty, however, is a happy combination of nature and art. Bath­ing is with them almost a religion. One bath a day is always in order, and two is very common. Thus they lay the foundation for good looks in the way of complexion. Every house, no matter how humble, has its bath, and it has been asserted that some years ago some of the Japanese ladies re­ceived guests while in the bath. In the country it is not an uncommon sight to see a woman by the roadside bathing herself from a little wooden bowl holding about a quart. Among the swelldom of Japan massage Is held strictly necessary as an aid to beauty. The accomplishments of the "blind shampcoer" Include massage. He vis­its the homes of the wealthy and kneads the roly-poly little bodies, the victim lying upon a mat on the floor with her head on a block pillow. You would think that this attitude would give'her a stiff neck to say the least, but It doesn't. The secret of this is in being used to it. And anyway, the little Japanese women are as docile as dolls, and never think of even pro­testing. The massage is applied with the clothing on or off, according to choice.

The hair dressing is also an elabor­ate process, but fortunately for the women there is never a change of fashion In thhi respect. Once they learn to manage their purplish black tresses and lhey know how for all time. A .great deal of rouge is1 used in the make-up or a Japanese beauty. The girls have to learn the facial applica­tions themselves, and. they make no secret of it. Walking through the city streets one often sees within some house a little lady kneeling on a cush­ion before her mirror, surrounded by her cosmetics, flanked by a basin of water and powder brushes.

And, seem' the thrang o' folk, he gaed up intil a mountain, and whan he was sutten doon his disciples gath-er't aboot.

OP A FAMOUS FAMILY.

MRS. MARTHA DAVIS, BISTER Ofr JQHfl *ROWNp

" i I «. I . . .

Ik* Is the Yoooffcwt of StztMB ChlHtraR —Her Beeoltoctionf of Her Brother*-* Hla Femotui Bald Was Mate for the VarptMd of Stirring* Up seattmeat.

The sole surviving member of a fam­ily famous l.n American history i$ Mrs, Marth*;ifcyte of Sjfc. taw*- Mioh.,.siB-ter of John Brown^ of Harper's, Ferry fame. She is the,,youngest of tf'chil­dren and her recollections qf her; early association with her widely-known tack on Harper'* Ferry,, wa* not, in­duced by the belief that be could con­quer the south all by himself and thus free the slaves, but that he did it to crystallize sentiment into activity and arouse the north to the wrong* gt sla­very. She has strong faith that her brother will be Judged in the future tar differently than he has been and that eventually he will be ranked as a courageous character who believed •hat the only solution of the' t lavery

MRS. MARTHA DAVI3. problem lay in war, which he brought about to a great extent by striking a blow.

The form of Mrs. Davis is now some­what bent by the 68 years she has lived and the burden which she has borne. Every dark hair has been sil­vered; the mouth is firmly set, but the eyes which have beheld so many tragic scenes and the mind which has carried for forty years the memory of her brother's dramatic deeds and tragic death, are as bright as on that day when the national arsenal at Harper's Ferry was taken. She lives her quiet life on a farm three miles from town, with no revengeful thoughts to embit­ter her declining days. There, inter­ested in the common pursuits of life. keeping herself Informed concerning the best thought of the times, lives the youngest and the last cf that his­toric family which provided that first aggressive martyr who carried war into the southern states, and with but twenty-one other men captured and_ held a United States arsenal for two days against state and national troop:-

Sentiment Not Appreciated. The prince of Wales can be cutting

as well as courteous, and when he isn't in the mood for feminjne pleasantries he will not take them even fronrsoeie^ ty beauties. Recently at a large ba­zaar the prince, being tired, entered the refreshment room and asked a cer­tain well-known society beauty, who was performing the role of waitress, for a cup of tea. This was soon brought to his royal highness, who, smiling, asked her how much he owed hetvfor it. "The price of the cup of tea, your royal highness, is half a crown ordinarily, but (taking a sip from the tea cup) when I drink from it the price is one guinea." "I see," re­plied the prince, quietly, placing a guinea on the table. Then, placing half crown beside it, he said: "The guinea liquidates my first debt, and now might I trouble you to bring me an or­dinary cup of tea, as I am thirsty?" The social beauty was too crushed to bring his royal highness the second cup.—New York Press.

13

The Reason She Was Offended. "I shall never speak to him again,"

she declared. "Why not?" her chum asked. "When we were at'that con­cert the other night I told him if he didn't take me out of the crowd I would faint, and he would have to carry me away." "Yes!" "Well, you'd have thought his life depended on getting me out of there in a hurry!" .

Purple Ore from Asia. * A Norwegian vessel has just brought

to Philadelphia a load of purple ore taken from the site of the ancient city of Telmessus, In Asia Minor. The boat was loaded at Macri, or Makree, a small port near the site of Telmessus and about fifty miles from Rhodes. The cargo, which will be used" ta "the manufacture of paint, was dug from the great amphitheater of Telmessus, which historians say has a seating capacity of 20,000 persons. A volcanic umptlon destroyed the city'and It is fiaid that the earth in the vicinity was transformed into a mass of ore, for Which there is now a demand frou; ail parts of the world.

German Hen's Laying CaparUr. The common German hen lays about

500 or 600 eggs in ten years. In the first year the number is only ten to twenty; in the seconJ, third and fourth, 100 to 136 each,_whence it again diminishes to ten i%*ke i**i year.—
