Taking It Out of the Store.

Mr.. Kemp, of Illinois, was in the mer-
camille business. He had great deal Of
work outside of his store, and he gener-
ally made it a point to pay men that
worked for him with goods. On one
occasion he had pile Of wood he wanted
cut into stove wood. Calling to boy
on the street he said:
" Here, Dock, want to get little
wood cut. Can you do IT,
Yes, said the boy.
''All right, you go over to the house
and cut up that pile, and come back and
I'll pay you for it; but" he added after
a moments pause, Il suppose you will
take it out of the storeo'
''Of course, replied the boy. Il would
Just as soon take it out of the store as

Meeting kemper on the street day or
two after, the boy said:
= Say, Mr.. Kemper | would like to
have the cash for cutting that wood.

In our five mile drive we pass numbers
of farm-houses of all sorts and sizes
some old, some large, some small,
sometimes with shady porches embower-
ed i'll annual creepers, and sometimes old
struggling gardens full of box and honey
suckle ard myrtle, thyme, and balm, and
many half forgotten herbs. Rippling
streams cross the road in'cvcry valley,
for it is mostly Up and down hill. Moth
ing can be more picturesque than the
country through which we are travelling
sometimes the rough and winding road
leads us through woodlands whose large
leaves wave above our heads, sometimes
through open fields, where the tobacco
just ripening for the cutters knife is
warm red soil, and where the tall Indian
corn in all the splendor OF its full foliage
rustles gently in the evening wind. Here,
too, to the right and left, stretch wide
stubble fields with their deep carpet of
time the sportman's settlers will be rang
ing for the coveys of quail, but now half
grown. In the valleys soft meadows
spread their level surface fresh from re-
cent rams along the margin of willow
bordered streams that water and enrich
them, while over their soft turf the shad-
ows of overhanging woodlands grow
longer and longer rs the light of day de-
clines. From the tall tobacco barns
comes the familiar odor of the curing OF
the first cut plants, and thin clouds of
smoke above their roofs hang clearly
against the reddening sky. Negro cabins
of squared logs cluster upon the road,
side on sunny hill tops, or in shady glens,
while from field and forest comes the wild
melody with which the Ethiopian cheers
his hours of toll. Behind all, though
many miles away, the grand masses OF
the Blue Ridge mountains lie pileG
against the western sky, their rocky sum
mits, their chestnut shaded slopes, theil

had each its detached building, trim and
neat, whose style of architecture at once
indicated the other chapel. There were,
moreover, indications OF missionary work
i'll the land. As we passed through the
streets we could hear the hum of child
rem busy at their lessons, aud singing
sometimes the morning hymn so well
known in many an English school. There
could be no question that, 50 far as out
ward appearance went, the people of I'm
erina had reached high level of civili-
zation, and seemed in little need of pro-
lection from any European State" The
party arrived Mt the capital on Sunday
''The people were clustering along the
foot-paths on their way to the church, or
sitting in the grass outside waiting for
the service to begin, as they do in villages
ut home. The women, who appeared to
be III the majority, wore white cotton
gowns, often neatly embroidered, and
white, or black and white, striped lambas
thrown gracefully over their shoulders.
The men were clad also in cotton-white
cotton pantaloons, cotton lambas and
straw hats, with broad black silk band.
In the morning sun the play of color over
the landscape was peculiarly lovely. .....
1t was difficult to imagine that this peace
ful country, with its pretty cottages, its
innumerablc chapels, whose bells were
then calling the people to worship, and
its troops of white-robed men and wo-
men answering the summons, was the bar
barous Madagascar of 20 years ago. The
reflections were somewhat rudely dis
turbed as our bearers entered the city.
We had considered we had done with bad
roads, with boulders, and with yawning
assures. But all these we encountered
as we made our way up the man thorough
fare of Antananarivo. But the appear
ance of substantial stone church, with
its bell changing and clock in the steeple
indicating the hour, with handbills on
the opposite walls announcing sales by
auction, reassured us that we had, indeed,
reached the centre of NIalagassy civiliza-
ton"

this he has large estates in Scotland, Bed

his income is extracted from Cardiff. His
complete monopoly of the land gives his
agents the power to punish all tenants who

outrageous treatment of tenants were given.

THE WATERING PLACES.

1t will be difficult to maintain high prices
at the Summer resort hotels this season, for
the spirit of economy is too gcItrally mani
Tested among the people.
No cards, wines, liquors or billiards are
allowed at Mohonk, beautiful resort in
New York State to which clcrgymen, pro-
fessonal and other unco good men are very
partial.
Newport is scandalizcd because some of the

Isn't it perfectly horrid
Adirondack tourists are already on the
march, and the guides have all come TO the
front with customary raptdity, The tourists
are most fortunate who do not have to do
with the guides.
Every Summer resort on the list advertises
mo malaria" but in many cases the assertion
is false. The less said about the dreaded but
fashionable disease the better, especially at
the inland resorts.
A new hotel caleI the Saetmorr has been
built on Green island Lake George, opposite
Bolton and ten miles from. Caliwtll. The
island has seventy acres and is connected
with the mainland by rustic bridges.
In front of the Ocean House, Long Branch,
the lawn is set with gas Jets here, there ami
everywhere in colored glass globes, and the
effect at night is very pretty.
Elegant costumes are already displayed by
the ladies at Newport who ride about in open
carriages in tho c'ol of the evening, and as
fOy sun shades the world never saw them us
elaborate or as elegant as this year,
Still another religious seaside resort is to
be established, this time for the Biptists, IN

is to be just too excessively proper for any
