A startling number of suicides have
lately taken place among Portuguese
authors. Last June the aged poet Cas-
tello Branco, the best-liked novel writer
of the day, shot himself. He was we'll
off and had a numerous family, but had
lately suffered from malady of the .. Is.
Shortly before his death he had writes
= novel in which voluntary death was
praised as the most beautiful close to an
active life. His funeral was celebrated
like that of Victor Hugo in France. A
few weeks ago the author Silva de Braga
took his own life after writing many re-
alistic novels in which the hero always
committed suicide. On July % a school
director and secretary of the municipal

Lemos, took his life in hotel in Lis.

tory at Ajada, also shot himself He was

A Rain Tree.

Augusta, Ga, mas Il curiosity in the
shape of ''rain tree" In describing
it the Augusta Chronicle says: "Here in
the city, with electric cars fitting back
ward and forward every few minutes,
almost under its shadow, is a veritable
rain tree, which, for the past ten days,
has been throwing off slight shower
and the ground beneath it kept in state
of moistness equal to that after a steady
shower of considerable duration. Cit
izens eye it curiously, and many of the
more ignorant, especially darkies in that
neighborhood, affirm with all the strength
of firm faith, that the tree is visited with
some uncanny potency"

Aunt Paulina looked fxedly into

space.
s'There he is now!" said Mr.. Lamb, at
footsteps outside. "Here you are! Don't
care bit about going in with me, do
you2 Well, it is hot. Guess I'll have
to let you off"
John Gordon bowed low to Aunt
Paulina, and smilingly to Marion, and
sat down beside her. He had a red and
white cap now and red sash instead of
the black one, and he looked handsomer
than ever. But he looked astonished and
alarmed.
"Where are you going?" he said to
Marion, anxiously.
"To Ripley" she answered, her eyes
lowered.
"Ripley! Goodness, is that where9"
Mr.. Lamb cried. "Not for good, Mrs.
Fields Why, typhoid fever has broken
out there within day or two, and there s
six cases already. It's lower land than
It's here, you know, and there's standing
water back of the village"
''It's malignant form Of it, under
stand, Mrs. Field" said Mr.. Gordon,
mildly.
"Ripley! What have you got to go
for?" Mr.. Lamb demanded. "What's
the matter with the Beach! It's jollier
place any time; and now, with typhoid
fever up there--Why, this mornings s
paper said everybody's leaving the
place~
.sMercy, Aunt Paulina!" Marion muir
INJURED; the corners of her mouth were
twitching.
'My train!" said Mr.. Lamb, getting
to his stout legs with no small effort.
+ Well, l haven't the heart to drag you
s ong, Gordon. It's too warm; and
there's another consideration-a more
powerful one. / doubt whether you d
go if wanted you to-" said Mr.. Lamb,
with rumbling laugh, and made the
laborious bow of fat man and boarded
his train alone.
"Surely, Mrs. Field" said John Cor
don, turning his honest, bright eyes
upon her, ''you are not going to Ripley2
You wouldn't think of such thing.
You'll give it up, Mrs. Field-you GER
tainly will?"
Aunt Paulina looked him over from
head to foot. Did she smile2
Marion almost thought she did. At
any rate she looked calm and benignant.
81 think l shall give it up" she re-
sponded. s'I think it seems advisable. :"
| 'I'll run and call cab" John Gordon
said, joyfully. cor wait-won't you
take drive with me, Mrs. Fielda Let
me get carriage and take you and Miss
Taylor for drive. For the breeze, you
know. Say yes, Mrs, Field!"
But he was off bsfore Aunt Paulina
could say yes.
1t was daring that drive that their
engagement was announced, and well
received.
Marion loved her Aunt Paulina, and
was scruplously respectful to her ever:
and the true history Of that Ripley plan
she never divulged.
When her lover would say obviously,
''And your Aunt Pauline positively dis
liked me at first, Marion!" she would
merely answer:
''But who could dislike you long,
John, deara"-Satmday Night.

The proposition to abolish titles in
France may be taken, declares the
Chicago News, as wholesome indication
of the growth of republicanism among
the people of that country. France has
been progressive nation since the days
of Clovis, and in tearing off the bauble
decoration of ''nobility" she will be a
long way ahead of the rest of Europe.
1t is time for the old world to learn that
honor and glory do not reside in decora-
ton, nor is there any nobility in wear
ing bit of metal dangling from a ribbon.
Verify, policeman's star is of more use
and has deeper significance.

DREAMLAND.

On the other side Of no place,
And traversed by mirroring streams.
Is the land that belongs to no race,
The land that we see in our dreams,
'Tis country of flowers and fountains
With landscapes fair to behold.
Where green hills and grey mountains
Stretch away toward a sunset of gold.
There are fruits that mortals ne'er tasted
There are skies of beauty most rare,
And, although it is time wasted,
Welong for this land of the air.
'Tis place we never shall visit.
Though often we gaze on its charms
For it comes as pleasure exquisite,
When we rest in old Morpheus's arms.
e. r. Pritchard, in Arkansato Traveller.

Where once there was waste of desert

Now fertile gardens gladden. all the land.
Now falls at even heavens refreshing dew.

Dwells free spirit in sancti6ed prayer.

Oceans of Milk.
1Fhiladclphia Press.

"There are S2,000,000,000 invested in
dairying in this country" said citi-
zen with a prediction for statistics
"That amount is almost double the
money invested in banking and COM
mercial industries. It is estimated
that it requires 100000 COWS to
supply the demand for milk and its
products in the United States. TO
feed these COWS 60,000,000 acres of land
are under cultivation. The agriculture
and dairy machiney and implements
in use are worth over $50, 900.
The men employed in this business
number 100000, and the horses over
100000. The COWS and horses con-
sumo annually 90,000,O00 tons of hay,
nearly 9O,0O0,000 bushels of corn meal,
about the same amount of oat meal,
275,OOO,0O0 bushels of oats, 20O0, 900, 600
bushels of bran and 3O,000,00O bushels
of corn, to say nothing of the brewery
grains, sprouts and other questionable
feed of various kinds that are used to
great extent. 1t costs $3.50, 100000 to
feed these COWS and horses. The aver
age price paid to the laborer necessary
in the dairy business is probably $50
month, amounting to $1SO,0OO,0OO
year.
"The average COW yields about $50
gallons of milk year, which gives
total product of 6,750, 100000 gallons.
Twelve cents gallon is fair price to
estimate the value of this milk at
total return to the dairy farmers of
$Sl0,0O0,000, if they sold all their milk
as milk. But fifty per cent of the milk
is made into cheese and butter. 1t
takes twenty-seven pounds of milk to
make one pound of butter, and ten
pounds to make one pound of cheese.
There is the same amount of nutrition
in eight and half pounds of milk that
there is in one pound of beef. A fat
steer furnishes fifty per cent. of bone
less beef, but it would require about
24,O0O, ,000steers weighing l 800 pounds
each, to produce the same amount of
nutrition as the annual milk product
does.n

"Lots of folks that would really like
to do right think that serrin' the
Lord means shoutin' themselves hoarse
praisin' His name. Now, I tell you
how I look at that. Pm workln' for
Jim, here. Now, if I'd set round the

Jim is, and singln' songs to him, and
gettin' up In the nights to serenade
him when he'd rather sleep, I'd be
doin' jest like lots of Christians do;
but 7 wouldn't suit Jim, and I'd get
fired mighty quick. But when L
buckle on my chaps and rustic among

right and amt sufferin' for water and

And if was ridin' for the Lord I'd

out in the ravines of darkness and the
hills of sin and keep His herd from

II don't see how I'd be helping the

Yankees in the Holy Land.

The Holy Land is to be modernized
and turned into pleasure ground for
the tourists.
General Ben Butler and several other
we'll known yankees are organizing a
stock company to be called the New
England Land company Of Egypt. 1t
is proposed to purchase land in Port
Said and Alexandria and build a two
hundred mile line os railroad through
to Damascus. The road will go through
the mountain region in southern Pales-
tine, running north through the valley
of the river Jordan. Gen. Butler is
deeply engaged in the study Of Bibli-
cal history and Holy Land topography.
He says that when :, railroad equipped
with steel rails, eighty ton engines,
opens the country to travel there Will
be q general rush Of sight-seers from all
over the world. The stopping places
in Palestine will include Hebron, Rama,
Bethlehem. Jerusalem, Jericho, NaZa-
reth, Gallilee and Damascus on the eX-
treme east. The enterpTlsing capital
lists at the back Of this project contem-
plate nothing less than yankeeizing
Palestine. They are satisfied that
their railroad will develop the country,
build up towns, and result in the influx
Of many colonists.
With the sound Of the locomotive
whistle much of the romance and mys-
terry of this land of the Bible will dis
appear. The old landmarks will lie
covered with patent medicine adver-
tisements, big hotels will spring up in
every direction, and the whole country
will be turned into sort of slde-show !;
under the management Of party Of !
sharp New England spectators.
The profane hand of progress spares
nothing.

The story Of the mouse that gnaWed

OF many "enterprises Of great dlmen-

lated in banks from the petty savings

upon the security of the great plant

kicked up behind, and soles should not
be dragged or scraped, bat We haven't
the slightest notion how to correct
those vices. We have, however, an
unalterable conviction that to put the
toes down first is not the natural gait
ofany two legged creature, based on
observation of the fact that no such
ever walk that way-with the excep-
tions already mentioned-in state OF
nature, anatomists to the contrary not
withstanding.
The game chicken walks by bringing
toes and heels to the ground exactly to-
gether and looks the strong, brave and
handsome fellow he usually is and he
is the best example because his ances-
tors were not quadrupeds, as ours prob
ably were, and he never went on all
fours as we do to this day until we are
artificially trained otherwise. The most
graceful walkers we have seen of the
human kind follow the game chickens
plan. Martin Witherspoon Gary walked
so always, and he looked the game and
virile man he was. Certainly there is
nothing else so beautiful in locomotion
as one Of those rare women who holds
herself well and steps evenly and firm
~ on her feet as if she felt the spring
in them.
But the tip-toe business is something
new and we suppose those people who
would learn to walk on their hands
with their heels in the air if told it was
"the latest" will take it up. Not very
long age the young ladies were doing
the Grecian bend ard the kangaroo
droop and men were going about with
their arms akimbo and taking with
their elbows more room in the world
than they could possibly obtain by any
other means. So we may look to see
the progressives of both sexes stepping
about with toes pointing downward
and heels doubled back. Peripatic and
predatory cranks with foreign names
will come along and open halls and
take classes for instructions in the new
system of walking according to nature;
and those of US who are too old dogs to
learn many new tricks and abide in
the belief that we learned all about
walking it is necessary for practical
purposes to know, with the assistance
of a colored person and a chair, a
greater or less number of years ago,
will continue to go sloshing about,
satisfied to swing our feet clear, get
them alternately in front Of each other
and move over ground and take no
special note whether heel, ball or toe
strikes first.

Single Breasted Frock Suits and Cutaway
Suits of the best imported Corkscrews, Clay

When a man puts on a Dress Suit he wants
to look and feel his best. He cannot do this
in suit that is ofinditferent style, inferior
quality or Ill fitting. One Of the reasons that
some men feel awkward in a Dress Suit is
that they do not feel at home in it; the suit
is tight; it drags, pulls or wrink es, and the
mind is, so to speak, constantly oppressed by
the sense of physical discomfort. There is no
reason for this condition of things, after all
theprogress and experience in the manufac-
ture OF fine Clothing Of the present day. !
