IN their accustomed places. Morgan was
tlred, the room was comfortable, and in
a lew moments he read himself to sleep
HOW long ne had been sleeping he does
not know,when he was partially awakened

Obvious to everything else except that
ne was being disturbed, Morgan drowsi-

Again the cat scratched him, and again
he pushed her away. This was rene3tcd
several times. Finally the cat became
thoroughly in earnest, and springing
upon the sleeper's breast, began to claw

start, and rising up in his bunk saw
with CONSERVATION that his cabin was on
hre, and that he was almost surrounded
by the flames. The partition between
the two rooms was blazing brightly, and
the kltchen-as he could see through
the burned door-was redeemed with
hot glow, which showed that the fire
had been in progress there some time
time. All chance of escape in that di-
rection was shut off, and the only re-
naming outlet from the sleeping-room
was through the little square window
mentioned above, and even this was sur
rounded on all sides by flames, which
were spreading along both sides of the
room and beneath the roof. A moment
more and his bunk would have been ON
fire. All this he took in at glance, and
knowing that every moment lessened
his chances for escape he took the cat
in his arms, and calling the old dog,
which was sleeping peacefully beneath
the bunk, he dashed through the flames
and sprang out of the window-not, how
ever, without being painfully burned
about the face, head and neck. The dog
sprang out after him. The cabin, with
all its contents, was consumed

SQmmer Fashions.
NEW BoNNETs.

The light bonnets are beginning to
show, and white straws trimmed with
black velvet, edged with dropping
daisies, or shaded forget-me-nots, are
popular. Also colored straws, with full
velvet bindings and strings, and an
aigrette on one side, with ottoman silk
strings, and single rose, with leaves
and buds, are new; also terra-cotta straw
trimmed with the shawl lace, shot with
gold and darker velvet. At present the
bonnets are small, younger ladies wear
ing those with the sloping crowns
called skulls" and elder ones those
with fiat crowns and raised brims. Gold
trimming is most popular, and so are
the new shapes covered in gold or rides
cent tinsel.
A bonnet of bronze-brown straw,
bound with brown velvet, and with brown
velvet strings, has large cluster of but
tercups and daisies, gracefully nestled
on: one side, fixed with very large,
fancy gilt needles. A gold colored straw
bonnet trimmed with ottoman ribbon of
a deep shade, has an exquisite spray of
horse-chestnut blossom over the front
with cluster of the chestnuts and pods
to one side. Most of the shapes are
small, with fiat crowns, and some are
raised in front, and either bound with
gathered velvet or edged with large
pearls or beads. In hats there is pale
brown straw of the shade light tan Swede
gloves, large in shape, turned up with
velvet of the same shade, and trimmed
with lighter satin ribbons, and two long,
graceful, curled ostrich feathers. A
more simple hat is of cream colored
straw, with bands of brown velvet and
straw, and on the left a tuft of mixed
ostrich and marabout feathers, with
three humming birds in the centre.
Another cream-straw hat is bound and
trimmed with terra Gotta velvet, and
has large cream feather aigrette
tipped with terra Gotta. Some of the
newest shapes are prominent in front
and of large size, but shorter at the
back. Red peoples and white peoples
with gold centres are arranged on colored
and en- white straw hats.

The Echo.

Little George did not yet know what
the echo was
Once when he was in the woods he
called out, "Ho! hop Directly the echo
answered him, clio! hot"
He called out, wondering, "Wherc art
thou?'
The voices called out, "Where art
thoup
"iie said, "You are a stupid fellowp
Stupid fellow" the woyds took UP
the echo again.
Then George became vexed, and kept
on calling out all sorts Of nick-names In
the woods.
All was reported to him again.
He looked ABOUT for the meddling boy
all over the woods; but he searched in
vain, he could find no one.
Then George ran home, and told his
mother that a bad boy, hidden in the
woods, had Knocked him, and called him
names.
The mother said, "This time you are
rightly served, and have made laugh
ing-stock of yourself. Be assured, you
have heard nothing but your own words.
Just as you have often seen your face
in the water, now you have heard your
voice in the woods. If you had called
out a friendly word, you would have re-
ceived friendly word in return"
So it generally happens that the con-
duct of others is mostly only the echo
of our own. If we treat them kindly
they will be friendly towards us; but If
We are rough and ill-mannered towards
them, SO must we expect nothing better
from them.-From the German.

SupersisiO II Of Railroads.

A greater humbug in our opinion was
never brought before the people than
this question of Railroad Supervision.
1t has always seemed to us perfectly alb
surd, ana we have often wondered how
sensible men could advocate such q
measure II we could see any possible
benefit to the people, we would not be
thus opposed 70 it, although we have
our doubts MS to whether 1t is Just to
interfere with private interests Again,
grant that it was in the power fora COM
mission to arrange frelghts so as to
benefit the people materially, the
disadvantage of the railroads, have we
any guarantee in these corrupt times
that a commission would be appointed
that could not be bought up by thu
railroad companies.
Does it not look like an absurdity to
appoint commission of men, who know
nhunt rs much of the intricate matter of
arranging schedule of freight charges
us hog does about the alphabet? A
railroad Company approaching the valua-
BILE services of n good General Freight
Agent, pays the very highest salaries for
competent men, and with the experience
OF The very best agents, it is impossible
to arrange these schedules so satisfac
torily that they will not have to be
changed daily. We firmly believe that
if the people should insist on this matter
and force uur next Legislature to enact
such law, they will saddle on them>
selves an expenditure of about { 0 900
that will pr tit them nothing, and will
make three very soft places for politi-

REORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN.
What is the right of the ballot to
woman compared with her privilege Of
enjoying health and happiness in the
charmed circle of her social and domes-
tic relations? Among the many discove-
ries tending to promote the happiness
and advancement of the human race,
nothing is so intimately connected with
the health and happiness of women-the
centre and source of our highest earthly
enjoyments-as the discovery of rene
dy which meets her peculiar wants. and
fits her for the enjoyment Of life. and for
ministering to the happiness of those
with whom she is associated in the tender
relations of sister, wife and mother. This
remedy is found in DR.. j. Bradfeld's
