AZ this noise, and the fall Of the

ed for moment, the two Sergeants
and several policemen entered the
room, accompanied by a white pointer,

Sergeant, joyfully.

So saying, the Sergeant revived the
Englishman, and took Monsieur de
Bocage from his luxurious chamber, to-

The Honorable and Reverend Mr..
Lambert returned home much better.
He had certainly taken the advice of his
unknown medical adviser, and had va
ried his usual life considerably. He
never travelled in a coupe at night again
with yelled ladies, nor did he ever quite
get over the horror Of having ridden
from Rouen to Paris with corpse.
He had the curiosity to take the Doc

London, who analyzed it.

Leisure IN Lie.

TIE leisure which the summer vaca-
ton brings TO many men and women is
a5 thirstily desired az il is often cheer
fully abandoned We wonder how
many are passing through the expert
ence now of awkward use Of what has so
long seemed the one thing to be de-
sired. After the toll, the escape from
the city and care, and the first long
draught Of welcome freedom, there
comes inevitably to many sense of
restles5ne85 and uneasiness, as If gift
had been placed In their hands the
value Of which they surmised but could
not apply. Is il strange that people
who know no leisure moments in the
busy months should find the sudden
possession an unfamiliar one? They
know, perhaps, how 70 fill a holiday
with enjoyment, but they have not
learned how 10 use a vacation. We
suggest TO such one use Of their en-
forced leisure which may urove finally
Of great advantage. Let them consid-
er, now that they have time to sit down
and think. whether it may not be pos-
sible to order their lives for the work
ing part Of the year so as TO secure a
more even distribution Of their leisure.
A month Of Sundays would scarcely
compensate for the loss Of thirty Sun
days at intervals Of seven days each;
and leisure, rightly understood, IS the
Sunday-spirit in a mans life.
Men talk about the hurry and drive
Of the world as if il we're something
fateiul 10 which they must yield help
lessly, and there might easily be a fret
ful protest against it, which would be a
childish opposition. But surely there
is possible a quiet independence Of
mind, which guards jealOusly the right
TO ones self, and we insist that It is the
part Of wisdom for every one to use the
utmost resolution and contrivance to
secure a part-be it ever so small-Of
every day for stiffness and abstraction
from busy life.
We owe TO our decorous habits of re-
ligiOn the enforced rest of Sunday, and
we contend that it is no unworthy use
Of religion which makes it also the daily
refuge Of the busy man or woman. Let
one but fence in half hour even of the
day, and guard it from intrusion, giving
it to contemplation and devotion, and
the influence Of this holy leisure will so
extend itself into the day that the time
will come to many when room will be
found also for other leisure than that
which is religious-when the work Of
the day will not be a tyrant from
which the soul escapes, painting, once
year, but an occupation which
makes room beside itself for the
higher engagements, which bring
rest and order and the sweet charities
of life. We claim for every one a true
independence which will put an end to
this violent yearly reaction, with its
momentary relief and subsequent vacu-
um; but it can be secured for each only
by individual protest and steady resolu-
tion. We cannot organize leisure half
so effectively as by the uncombined
effort of many individual wills Church

An Apache Arrow.

THE following story of an Apache
arrow, which made itself felt sixteen
years after striking its victim, is told by
the Virginia City (Nev.) Chronicle:
In the year 1864 George Peasland was
a member of the California Volunteers,
a cavalry regiment commanded by Col.
Cremony, who commanded a campaign
against the Apsches in Arizona. Dur
ing one of the numerous fights with
these murderous savages, Peasland was
struck in the abdomen by a poison ar
row and very nearly lost his life, which
was saved only by the immediate ap-
plication of remedies learned by Gre.
mony during his long intercourse with
the Indians. The effects of the poison
remained in his system, however, mani
Testing themselves most disagreeably at
times, and causing him intense suffer-
ing. Peasland is now employed as
night watchman at the Virginia and
Truckee depot in this city. Last night,
while walking along the track near
Union Street, he was suddenly seized
with terrible pain in the side and alb
domen, which had the effect of COM
pletely paralyzing his lower extremites
anu ChuslhS nm W 1dl DetWeen Jne
rails. He was utterly unable to move
from the spot, and was in danger of
perishing from cold. But he finally
summoned sufficient strength to gather
some stones that lay within reach and
throw them against the depot saloon on
the corner, thus attracting the attention
of persons inside, who came to his as
sistance and removed him to the rail-
road depot. He was found there this
morning, on the floor, writhing with
pain and in a state bordering on insani-
ty. Dr.'Bergstein was summoned and
succeeded in quieting the unfortunate
man by administering hypodermic IN
jections of morphine.

Concerning Glover.

WHILE large class of the farming
community hold to the opinion that
clover is better and more surely sown in
the spring, this work is much of it done
during the late summer and autumn.
A considerable proportion Of the clover
soWn at all seasons is mixed with timo-
thy and other grasses. When thus asso-
ciated on moving lots the full benefit of
the clover is not realized in the majority
of cases, because care was not observed
to SOW with it varieties which blossom
at about the same time. The clover in
consequence goes to seed before the
later grasses are ready for the moving
machine. Even under these conditions
the clover has not been without value.
Its long tap roots have put the ground
IN condition to be readily acted upon by
air and moisture. They have also ad-
ded to its fertility. Among grasses which
blossom simultaneously with clover, and
therefore adapted to seeding with it on
meadow lands, are meadow fescue, pc
rennial rye grass, Kentucky blue grass
and Italian rye grass.
Clover makes an excellent crop when
sown alone, especially on light sandy
soils. The practice of sowing clover
with a grain crop is, however, a very
common one. Concerning the deslra-
bility of this general custom there exists
wide diversity of opinion. Some cul-
tivators contend that clover sown in the
spring with grain succeeds better than
that which is sown alone, because the
grain grows quickly and shades the ten
der plants from the sun. Opponents to
the practice contend with equal energy
that the clover crop is liable to a greater
risk of being lost when the grain is cut
and the plants are exposed. DIR. Harlan
recommends sowing buckwheat with
clover when it is desired to grow only
the latter. The buckWheat will afford
shade while the clover is feeble. and ii
cut when in blossom and permitted to
remain on the land will also mulch the
clover and prove of great advantage to
the crop. Whenever and however clover
may be sOwn it is important that there
exist considerable moisture in the sur
face soil at the time of sowing.-N. Y.

The Charming Toilets of Saratoga
Bellies.

OF the Saratoga toilets a correspond
ent of the Chicago Times says: One
could easily imagine himself living at
one of the Trianons in the days of the
famous Watteau himself, so beautifully
made and so picturesque in their COM
binations are the toilets of the ladies
who have come here, but the fabrics of
their robings are not of the antique by
any manner of means. One franc a
meter instead of the hundred is about
the cost of the majority of the pretty
vanities seen upon the young and the
youngish women of Saratoga. The
pomps are left exclusively to the dowag-
ers, to whom in truth they really belong.
Indeed many sets of young ladies must
have made studies of the famous historic
pictures at Versailles or they could new
er have so grouped themselves in the
factors of their pretty kirtles and petit
coats, hats and hosiery, fan and slippers.
An immense, unwired soft straw hat,
bent and pinohed, or dropping into
quaint outline, is tied about with a
Swiss muslin sash that Is tipped at each
end with tlounce of lace. A bunch of
flowers, a gorgeous bird, a garland of
Marguerites, viOlets, clover or poppies,
Eliminates the head of this lassie of to-
day, and she has a score or more of
these head dresses to give variety to the
gardens and to mark the days of the
week, and perhaps of the month also.
Fans, the new Japanese horiated ones
in gold and bronze, and in silver and
bronze, with fine lacquered sticks, and
Japanese parasols, make the gardens,
verandas and the streets to glow like a
tropical paradise. Some of the ladies
have betaken themselves to Alpine
stocks with gay parasOls upon them.

Grants Fallen Estate.
Chicago Times,

Probably it has not occurred to the
stOlid General Grant, but many other
people must have noticed that the re-
ception given him at New York, yes
terday, was quite different from the
welcomes extended him by the other
large cities of the United States. This
is his first visit 10 the metropolis since
his tour around the world, He was
met at the depot by General Arthur,
the same who was nominated ut Chi
cago, and who was removed from the
New York custom house for dishonesty
and the great and good Tom Murphy.
The difference between the character
Of this reception and that extended the
ex-President at Chicago, for instance,
is the difference between the senti-
ments Of the people toward him be-
fore and after he proved himself ''cra-
zy to be President" no matter by what
means, and capable Of doing the dir
ty work Of few unscrupulous party
managers. If General Grant can de,
rive any satisfaction FROM the change
he IS entirely welcome to it."

Voting Problems.

The aggregate number of vetes cast

cent election is said to be q, 500. The
population of the city by the new cen
sus is 1907. The ratio Of voters to
population, therefore, lis I to 81; or,
to put the fact more plainly, one per-
son out Of every three is voter.
When We reflect that one-half the
population consists Of females who do
note vote, ard that at least one-half
the remaining half ought by all the
accepted rules of population to be mi
nors under the age Of 2t years. who
also do not vote. the Indianapolis ra'
ito is imcomprehensible. The usual
rule If to estimate one yoter 10 every

it, tried to pull it down, and handed
it to him, saying, "click it at me. "

did so, when his young bride, of only
