Too Thouphtful.

In tiny seaport village there was in
stalled as postmaster, not long ago, a
man whom everybody had always looked
upon as a quiet, well meaning person,
who minded his own affairs. Whether
his elevation to Office changed his nature,
or only served to develop trait of char
acter which had long been waiting a
chance to display itself, no one knows;
but the fact remains that curiosity, of a
most intense and persistent kind. seemed
TO take possession Of him from the very
day he assumed his new position.
Nobody could accuse him of holding
letters up to the light to decipher their
contents, or of reading postal cards, be-
cause he was never seen doing such
things; but in what other way he could
have acquired his knowledge of peoples
private affairs it was certainly difficult
10 imagine.
A lady in The village was anxious to
have a message reach a friend on a GER
tain day by the boat which took the
mail to a neighboring town, and hastily
writing a few lines on a postal she
signed simply her initial and slipped the
card with several letters into the box.
The next night when she went for her
mail the postmaster handed her back the
postal.
Il saw, Miss Green" he remarked,
with bland smile, chat you hadn't
finished that card, having left off with
the first letter of some word, doubtless
an important one. knew you'd slipped

Too Much Shade.

In a recent number of The Sanitarian
DR.. w. T. Parker protests against thick
planting of trees very near the house.
Not only do they prevent the free access
of air and of sunshine or even light, but
they also injure the character of the soil
as suited for permanent occupation. "a
soil" says the writer, loaded with roots
and densely shaded is unfit for man to
live upon constantly. Vegetation pro-
duces a great effect upon the movement
Of the air. Its velocity is checked, and
sometimes in thick clusters of trees or
underwood The air is ;lmost stagnant.
If moist and decaying vegetation be a
coincident condition of such stagnation
the most fatal forms of malarjous dis
eases are produced.
ga moist soil is cold, and is generally
believed to predispose to rheumatism,
catarrh and neuralgia. 1t is matter Of
general experience that most people feel
healthier on dry soil. IN some way
which is not clear a moist soil produces
an unfavorable effect upon the lungs. A
moist soil influences greatly the devel-
opment of the agent, whatever it may
be, which causes the paroxysmal fevers."

Three Hundred Stones Inside of Him.

Three Hundred Stones Inside of Him.
Sir Charles Hall, celebrated physi-
clan of the Seventeenth century, relates
an extraordinary case of man who ac-
customed himself to swallow stones.
This man, Thomas Gobsill by name,
and about &c years of age, had for some
time suffered from colo, till sympa-
thetic friend advised him to swallow
small, round pebbles. He followed the
prescription and obtained relief On
being seized some months afterward by
a violent return of his complaint he
swallowed nine stones, and as these had
no effect, repeated The dose until about
800 pebbles bad accumulated in his in
terror. He endured their presence for
two and half years before submitting
himself to Sir Charles Hall. Sir Charles
found the stones were situated in the
lower part of the body, and on shaking
his patient he could hear them rattle.
His first experiment was to suspend
the sufferer by his feet, in the hope that
the stones might be shaken out of him.
This met with no success. Nor did
medicine have any effect. The man
was unable to work without pain, and
suffered much uneasiness at all times

The Orient had regained nm completely,
but more by means of the force OF
habit and the influence of the atmos-
phere than by genuine heart bonds.
| Toward evening the train of mules
laden with coufins al pulled cut with
treasures turned down the street of the
faubourg, when before the door of the
Arabian bureau they found their way
INSTRUCTED by greater crowd. 1t was
a party of immigrants who had just ar
rived from France; ne preparations had
been made for their reception, and the
| unfortunate strangers were vainly len
| treating aid and seeking information.
Some Of them were hopelessly sitting on
.'leir baggage, exhausted by their journey
and annoyed by the curiosity of the
crowd; while to add to their misery
night was coming on, increasing with its
darkness the desolateness of the unknown
land. Kadour looked at the exiles me-
chanically, but he was, on a sudden,
seized with strong emotion as he rec
ognized the dress Of the old peasants, the
velvet bodices of their wives, and the
women's long hair, of the color of the
ripe harvest. Ia another minute his for
gotten dreams had become reality, for
he saw before him the soft features and
golden hair Of Katel. Yes, there she
stood with old Rupert, her mother, and
all the little children, far away from the
sawmill on the ripping Sauerbach, which
still flowed past the abandoned home.
''KadOur~
"Katelr'
He turned pale and she blushed
slightly.
In few minutes the exiles' difficulty
was settled. The Kaid's house was large
and the immigrants were welcome to
install themselves therein until their
little portion Of land was accorded them.
Quickly the mother gathered up the
bundles and called together her children,
who had begun already to play with the
little natives; pell nell they were all put
in the coufins among the silks and pre-
cious stufTs, and Katel laughed merrily
at finding herself mounted in such grand
style on an Arab mule Kadour laughed,
too, but less heartily, and with sort of
suppressed delight.
AS night was falling round and the
air growing cool he wrapped his former
nurse in beautiful striped burneus, one
of the wedding presents, embroidered
with pearls, and with its soft folds fall
ing round her and the fringe glistening
brightly she sat motionless and smiling,
looking like blonde houri escaped from
the harem.
AS Kadour gazed at her thousand
mad projects crossed his mind. He
would break his troth with the Aga's
daughter and marry Katel-none but
Katel for him. And some day they
would be returning together from the
city, all alone in lane of oleanders, she
smiling at him on the mules back, he
holding her bride as at present. Eager
ly, still dreaming, he gave the signal for
the departure of the train, but Katel
stopped him, saying in her soft voice:
"Wait a minute. Here comes my
husband"
Katel was married. Poor Kadour,-

Ihave learned a beautiful lesson.
Taught by the sweetpease standing there,
Those little clouds of sunset glory
Caught out of time In morning air.
You see their fragrant blossoms nodding,
Purple. crimson and pale rose blush.
On slender stems too slight to bear them
Without the helping. hidden brush
To It's brown arms. 50 strong and trusty
The little teadrils cleave and cling
The vine unheld. IN dust were lying
A fallen. bruised and iowerless thiL.g.
and vet the brush itself was barren,
Unqlnckened at the summers kiss;
1t bore no scent or sign of blossom,
But now it blooms again like this
think il must forge: the sadness
OF its own broken lie. and glow
With love for al the warmth and sunshine
That makes the sweetpease bud and blow
II may seem but q dreaTy failure,
Deadened and storm tossed. dulled with
strife;
But it has helped TO bear the blossoms
That crown another fairer life.

IDEAS OF HE'LL.
Different Places where the Good Of Many
Nations Have Located 1t.

Different Places where the Good OF Many
Nations Have Located 1t.
We give summary Of the "hell'
opinions of many religions and that of a
famous astronomer: The hell OF the
ancient heathens was divided into two
mansions-Elysium on the right hand,
which was the abode of good mems souls;
Tartarus on the left, region Of misery
and torment, the awful abode OF the
damned. The ancient philosophers were
of the opinion that the internal regions
were at an equal distance from all parts
Of the earth, which may be the founda-
| ton of the modern idea OF hell being In
the center of the earth.
The people of Hermione, contrary to
the usual belief that ones Own country
is the best in the world, thought that it
was very short distance from their
shores to tie flake that burneth for ever
and ever" for this reason the people of
that country never put money in the
mouths of their dead to pay passage to
the land of oblivion. The ancient Jews
placed hell in the center of the earth.
According to them, there were three
passages leading to it: the first the will
derness, by which route Dathan, Koran
and Abiram descended; the second is
the sea, because it is written that 30
nah cried to God out of the belly Of
hell" the third passage Is in Jerusalem,
because it is said 1.-the fire of the Lord is
in Zion, and his furnace is in Jerusa-
lem" Mohammed said that hell has seven
gates; the first for the Mussulman, the
second for the Christians, the third for
the Jews, the fourth for the Sabeans, the
fifth for the Magians, the sixth for the
Pagans and the seventh for the hypo-
critics of all religions.
Among modern philosophical opin-
ions that of Mr. Winston, the English
scholar, was perhaps the most unique
The comets, according to Winston, are
so many hells appointed in their orbits
to alternately carry the damned into the
confines of the sun, and then to return
them beyond the orb of Saturn, there to
starve them in the regions of dismal
cold.
Among the Christians there are two
controverted questions in regard TO hell
one concerning its locality, the other
the duration of its torments.-St. Louis
Republic.

A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK.

September opens with a bright bust
ness outlook for the whole country. One
month ago reports were prevalent of
crop failures throughout the length and
breadth of the land. The markets were
in the hands of INSCRIPTIONS specula-
tors and for a time a period of financial
depression seemed inevitable. The tariff
bill was a menace to agricultural inter
estS and the silver bill, without which
the mining operations of the west would
have been paralyzed, had only Just be-
come a law. There was "a feeling of in
security among farmers and wage-work-
eTs, great strikes were threatened. and at
every political convention the profess
sional demagogue was striving to add
fuel 10 the current feeling of discontent
and distrust.
Today the results of the silver bill are
apparent in increased western immigra-
ton and an output of currency. Better
crop reports have brought about a dis
tnct reaction in centerS of speculation.
An increased and now strong ex-
port trade keeps farm products at
a living figure and insures for
the farmer fair remuneration for
his labor. Some of the Objectionable
features of the Mckinley bin have been
removed in the senate and an incre s4d
and permanent foreign commerce is as
sured. Strikes, which threatened to be-
come national in their character and To
cripple some Of the greatest industries in
the land, have been averted by the sound
common sense of the men most inter
ested, and seldom has brighter autumn
opened upon north, south, east and west.
Local causes may cause a shade of
financial trouble and the money market
may be stringent in few cities, but such
a condition of affairs Is not general.
There Is the best market for the farmer
even though his crops be small Build

SOME TARIFF INCONSISTENCIES.

A crumb fails from the high-protec-
tion-for-p rotections-sake's table every
now and then for the delectation of the
people The last one was in the form of
free binding Irvine. That is to say, the
senate transferred that article from the
dutiable TO the free list. 1t is not certain
that this will finally prevail, for the Nc
Kinley committee of the house have
given it out that the house will stand by
the measure that body passed, and just
as it passed it. As for the action of the
senate in putting binding Irvine on the
free list and imposing a duty on tin,
when the two industries are substantially
alike. it is something of puzzle. The
argument for free tin is stronger than
for free twine-if possible, yet the two
are reversed by that body.
And, then. just think of the dickering
ON the lumber schedule. Here is an
article that can only be protected by re-
moving all import duty from it. The
government spends large sums annually
in protecting the forests of the country
and in encouraging timber culture, and
then puts a premium upon the destruc-
ton of the timber 10 the extent of the
tariff on lumber from without. The in
terests of the west demand free lumber
which imp les cheaper lnmber, for the
saving in price which aggregates an inn
mense sum. And it also demands it for
the sake of protecting and encouraging
the cultivation of timber for the future.

AS A PACKING POINT.

Wichita leads four of the great pack
ing points of the country in the number
of hogs slaughtered, two of the great
points which she leads being Cincinnati
and Cleveland, outstripping the former
point by nine thousand and the latter by
twelve thousand with four months of
the year vet to come. In per cent of in
crease Wichita leads all competitors in
Guiding Kansas City, Chicago, Omaha
and Sioux City. In the eight months
covered by the report over forty thou
sand hogs were sold in the Wichita mar
kets, which were not slaughtered here,
the purchases going to Mexico and to
packing houses at Kansas City. Up
wards of two hundred thousand hogs
have been bought at the Wichita stock
yards in eight months, one hundred and
seventy-four thousand Q74,00O) of which
were slaughtered and cured by WichitaS
packing houses.

WILL IT APPLY

The New York Dry Goods Chronicle
takes it for granted that the Mckinley
tariff bill will become law, and sounds
note of warning concerning an UNI
settled point. The question is this: VIII
the bill apply to goods in bond imported
prior 10 the signing of the act? The
point would seem to be an important
one, and in fact is, both to the govern
ment and the importers, and possibly to
the public as consumers. If the pend
ing bill becomes a law and it fails to
cover the imports referred to, the loss to
the government will be considerable. If
it does apply to them the importers will
be out that much, and in either event
the consumers will have the advanced
rate to pay in the way Of profits to the
importers. In this last view of the case
it is immaterial with the people whether
the law applies or not, but as members
of the government and its immediate
supporters every consumer is interested.
But to apply the proposed law to the case
in point would seem to make 1t an ex-
post facto measure, which if true would
of course nullify it as to the imports
mentioned, and the goods would thus be
made subject to the present law.
