DOWN THE MOUNTAIN HE sPRANe.


I'm sorry to rob you of your rest,
but you look strong, and I guess It
won't hurt you"
Christmas morning broke. The storm
had passed. The sun laughed in the
heavens and the sky was blue as If it
were June. They stood on the door
step and viewed the splendid panorama,
Then they went into the house. John
sat On the bed and whitfield; the woman
had insisted on getting breakfast. The
exercise flushed her cheeks, and John
stole furtive and admiring glances at
her. She was vaguely like somebody
he had seen before.
They sat down, one on each side of
the table. She heaped his plate, and
then she leaned her head on her hand,
and her face paled and her voice
trembled.
''John Roach" she said (he had not
told her his name), "What are you doing
here? Why are you not at home with
your people?"
The man started as if shot. His face
turned white, through all the brown
upon it.
"Who are You?" he said hoarsely,
''that you know me? Who are you, /
say?"
The woman leaned forward, shading
her eyes with her hand.
John, don't you know me?''
"Dotty Waters" he said. 'Ohl my
Godr'
Then he crossed quickly to her and
Lifted her up in his arms, trembling the
while as if palsy-stricken.
why, Dorothy! Dotty!' he said,
''they told me you had died of fever in
the marshes-that was long ago-more
than twenty years. Have you come
back to life again, Dotty, like them
folks in the Bible. and was it true that
you said you'd never marry me?"
His eyes were misty; she freed her
self from his embrace, drew her chair

Eminent English Chemist.

Eminent English Chemist.
Henry Cavondish, the chemist, who is
chicily known for being the first to dem
onstrato the composition of water, was
an extraordinary character. He was
born October 10, 1881, and quite early in
life developed taste for scientific pur-
suits. becoming an excellent electric
trician, astronomer, mcte0rologist, rcol-
ogist, and chemist. In l173 an uncle
died leaving him an enormous fortune.
but wealth did not change his habits,
which wero those of reclusc. He was
painfully shy, and was positively afraid
to moct ladies. His heir, Lord George
Cavendish, visited him but once wear.
and was allowed an audience of but
half an hour. His great income was al
lowed to accumulate without attention
from him. On one occasion tho bankers
with whom no kept his account found
that they had balance of $500, 1000 on
hand, and sent messenger to confer
with him about it The messenger was
announced, and Cavendish, in great
agitation, exclaimed as he entered tho
room:
"What do you como hero for? What
do you want with me?"
"Sir, thought it proper to wait upon
you, was the reply, "as we have q very
large balance of yours on hand, and wo
wish your orders respecting it."
''lf it is any trouble to you will tako
1t out of your hands. Do not come here
to plague mel"
''Not the least trouble to us, sir, not
tho least; but we thought you might
like some of it to be invested"
We'll, we'll! What do you want to
1o?"
Perhaps you would like $780, 900 in
vostod?"
do so-do so! And don'c como hero
to trouble me, or I'll remove it,
And with that tho interview was over.

A Remedy Which Costs Nothing and Is
Always on Hand.
The article on poison oak and poison
ivy recalls to my mind another stinger
that sportsmen are very apt to fall in
with when trampling bottom lands ad-
joining creeks and marshes when in
quest of woodcock or ducks ! refer to
the common nettle, and most of your
readers who frequent such places have
no doubt made its acquaintance, and
much to their annoyance. Growing rank
in such places some times shoulder high,
1T is very annoying to both man and
dog; indeed, I have seen dogs complete-
ly used up with it, while the sportsman
only partially escaped by holding his
hands above his head when pushing
through the rank mass. l have often
been punished by this vile weed, and
until two years ago knew of no anti
dote, but then found one in this wise:
had gone on the invitation Of a rural
friend to inspect low marshy creek
which in seasons when tho water re-
manned high abounded in ducks; and
if prospects wero good we intended
to lay plans for the opening of the sea-
son, then some two weeks distant.
While tramping through tho woods and
marsh adjoining the creek / had my
hands severely stung with the nettles,
which were very rank. My friend said:
why suffer? tho cure is at hand" and
reaching out he grasped a handful Of
the soft and tender ferns which are al
ways found growing in such places, and
handing them to me- directed mo to rub
them we'll on the aill cted parts. Well,
did SO, and must say with consider
able lack of faith; but presto! in less
time than it takes to tell it the smart
ing and pain had all gone; yes, and gone
not to return, until another brush
through the nettles made another APP
plication necessary. have often tried
it since, and always with tho same re-
suit One advantage is that you don't
have to carry tho remedy with you; it is
always on the spot and costs nothing

AMERICANS IN EUROPE.
Denationalized Citizens Who Arc n Dis
grace to Our Country.

DenationaIzcd Citizens Who Arc Dis
grace to Our Country.
If it is true that Americans expend
no less than So. 900, 900 year in England
for rent alone it is quito time somo steps
were taken to recall those denationalized
citizens to sense of duty to thoir own
country. Nearly all this largo sum of
money is eXpcnd ed for tho luxury of
shooting and fishing, but, as may DO
imagined, it by no means represents tho
actual outlay among tho prize moors and
streams of Scotland. AS London Jour
nal suggests so much money for shoot
ing and fishing seems Incredible, but it
is also shooting and angling for social
position. We laugh now at this evil
denco of Anglo-mania, but the laugh
may be turned to bitter tears one OF
these days, when it is seen what mis-
chief is wrought by intoxicating no
abiding love OF country no national de-
votion in our childron's hearts. This
one phase of seltishnoss in tho Amori-
can people is melancholy enough, and
though the supino argument is mado
that in comparison but few of our
wealthy families abandon this land of
plenty, the fact romans that they do
leave it. and spend thorc American row
enues elsewhere, and for what? A So
cial position. Heaven save tho mark.
Thirty thousand Americans live in Lon
don. Why they elect to 1.-Two in that
vast center of the world need not be dis
cussed. Tho chief part of them 'do
business thore. tho residue do ploas-
ure," or 1.-Two to economic their small
means drawn from American sources
Whether London is a delightful place
of residence is mother here nor there;
this 10000 arc SO far denationalized as
to prefer it, and to regret the necessity
of returning to the United States oven
ENTHUSIASTICALLY What docs this
feeling portend? And where will it end
for our country? are questions to ponder
and not to DO brushed aside with an An
glomaniac joke.-Boston Herald.

The Pan-Amerlcan Delegates.

The Pan American Congress having
concluded 1ts labors only short time
ago, comparatively speaking, il is yet
all too early to lock for results, Some
months, perhaps year Or two, may
elapse before any direct results are seen.
There must first be feeling Of conf
dence existing between the Pan Amerl-
can states, a. commercial fellowship
must be born, for it is from commerce
that we shall receive the advantages
outlined when the congress assembled
and nothing else will so tend to kuit
the western republics into closer union.
In the meanwhile, don't forget home
institutions in your eagerness to see
what South America will do, ana above
all, don't forget when you set out upon
your travels, that the best way to reach
lake ports Or commercial centres is to
take the St. Paul s. Duluth Railroad.
This road is known as the Duluth Short
Line, and makes quick time between
