1--WE must believe so, my darling"
YES" said strong voice from the door,
''but you will mourn no more, my darlings,
for the dead is alive again, and am here"
To picture the scene that followed, with
its precious emotions, is not for my pen. It
was Christmas eve full OF sacred Joy and
perfect love.
After time Jimmie said, ''Why, where
is AbDer?"
A cloud came over the brow of the happy
wife, and she asked: "Why, my dear hus-
band, what do we want of him? We are
happy enough without strangers tonight"
MARY, you do not know" said he. 'You
would never have had me back if it were
not for him. I must seek for him."
They had not far to look, for. having
finished the task that had been marked out
for him by the bereaved wife, having found
the one who was lost and restored him to
the arms of those who loved him best, he
was lying peacefully on the snow, with a
smile on his worn face, for Abner Wilcox,
seaman, fisherman and gentleman. was

THE LAW MUST HAVE ITS COURSE.

"Holdl holdr" cried the two cats; give
each of us his share of the rest, and we
will be content"
"If you are content" says the monkey,
"justice is not The law, my friends, must
have its course"
So he nibbled first one piece, and then
the other. The poor cats, seeing their
cheese in fair way to be all eaten, most
humbly begged the judge to give himself
no further trouble.
"Not so fast, beseech you, my friends"
says the judge; 1--WE owe justice to our
selves as well as to you. What is left is
due to me in right of my office"
So saying, he crammed the whole into his
mouth, and very gravely dismissed the
court.

A Survival of the Fittest.

While hunting antelope on the prairies
of Colorado was the witness of very
interesting chase between an eagle and a
jack rabbit. The various circles and
downward sweeps of the eagle attracted
my attention, and resolved to ascertain
the reason. put spur to my horse and
succeeded in gaining an elevation from
which good view of the chase could be
had The rabbit, to all appearances, was
very much bewildered, and would rur
first in one direction and then another
and sometimes in circles, its pursuer
the eagles following its every turn.
Finally the eagle, as if tired of thii
sport, with vicious downward swooI
and stroke of the wing laid the rabbit
out lifeless on the prairle. At this mo
ment l gave tremendous yell, and Al
the same time rode rapidly toward
them, which had the desired effect O
frightening the eagle away, leaving it
victim in my possession, which turned
out to be the only game bagged tina

Farmer Ellsworth lives in the suburbs
of little Massachusetts, town, and is a
man of considerable consequence among
his friends and neighbors, During the
long winter evenings he and Aunt Hull
dah, his wife, read much, and his COM
ments on the literature of the day, though
not often dramatically expressed, often
display discrimination.
Not long ago he took a book Of short
sketches of country life from the town
library, and when he brought it back he
had to pay small fine, having kept it
several days over the time allowed.
''Tm willin' an glad to pay it, too," he
said, as he laid down his pile of coppers.
"You enjoyed it, then?" asked the Ii
brarian.

Two Kinds of Censuses.

A census of the United States differs
in it's very conception from European
census. Once in ten years, as with us,
the English government makes an emu
meration of the inhabitants of the king
dom. The time chosen is the night of
the I'd of April. On or before that day
the enumerator must leave at each house
within his district q family schedule,
which calls for the name and personal
characteristics-age, sex, color, occupa-
tion, etc.-of each person who on that
night shall sleep in that house. IF a man
be travelling on thatnight, he is to be re-
ported at the hotel or private house at
which he arrives in the morning.
A census of the United States is very
different thing. AS in England, the
census is supposed to be taken on a GER
tain day-with us the 1st Of June-but
the question regarding each and every
man is not where he was on that day
but where on that day he had "hi'
usual place of abode. General Francis

characteristics of the Uruguayans.

CnaracCer1SClcS OF Jne OruSuaydhS'
The whole Banda Oriental and its in
habitants strike one as being more re-
fined, more amiable and more gentle
than the land and people of the sister re-
public. Nevertheless, in the country
everything is very primitive, and one is
astounded at the rough way in which
many of the rich estancieros live on their
estates in the simplest and most comfort
less houses. These men own leagues and
leagues of land, and they live like the
patriarchs of old-with two or three gen
erations of children under the same roof
and eating at the same table-in the old
fashioned creole way. Such men, as may
be imagined, are not progressive; they
continue their pastoral industry in an in
dolent, apathetic manner, leaving to ma
ture almost everything except the opera
ton of selling and receiving the money;
and, above all, they cannot be persuaded
to subdivide their lands and let them out
for farming.
Uruguay is being kept back chiefly by
the conservativeness of the creole land
holders, who possess immense estates that
are inadequately developed. The law Of
inheritance and the obligatory subdivis
ion of property among the heirs will
modify this state of affairs in the course
of time, and these vast holdings will be
gradually broken up and developed il
detail The process, however, will nee.
essarily be slow, and meanwhile, as the
state owns no lands, the increase of i'm
migration can only be slow in proper
tion.-Theodore Childin Harper's.

Beading Selection. from the Paper.

Reading Selections from the Paper.
1t was one Of those wild nights you
read Of in nine novels out of ten.
The cold spring rain splashed vicious
" against the panes, and the shutters
ratified and banged as the ftful gusts Of
wind swept through the deserted streets.
It was lodge night, but Brother Fay
concluded to stay at home for once, par
ticularly as his mother-in-law was on
her periodical inspection tour, and spend
ing a couple of days with him.
With a sigh he rolled back in the
rocker, his feet in a chair and news
paper spread open before him like a
screen.
Presently he chuckled, and wife and
mother looked up from their sewing in

"Rather a remarkable case" he ex-
claimed, looking over the top of the
paper, and with a suspicious twitch
about the corners of his mouth he read
aloud:

ARABIAN HORSES
Their charaoteristies Compared with
Those OF American Trotters-

Their Charnctertstics Compareu VIII
Those of American Trotters
There are hundreds Of horses called
Arab in America which have no right to
the name. Almost every spotted horse
or calico horse is said to be more OF
less Arab, while it is stated as positive
fact by no less an authority than John
q. Wallace that an Arab may be Of any
color in the world but spotted. No Arab
is a calico in color. It is an exceedingly
difficult thing to get pure bred Arab.
The Bedouin chief viii not sell one at
any price, and the only ones procured
are secured by raids on the tribes of the
Euphrates valley.
In the whole United States there are
only three strictly pure bred Arabian
horses. Two of these are the stations
Leopard and Linden Tree, which were
presented to General Grant by the sui
tan of Turkey, and mare called Naomi,
which has been imported from England.
OF the two Grant stations Leopard is
not at all prepotent horse and is get
ter of few foals, and Linden Tree is the
possessor of one of the ugliest tempers OF
any living horse. He is said to be fiend
incarnate, though his colts are gentle
and kind enough when properly treated.
1t is popularity of the Arabs that if
used kindly and treated with considera-
ton they are gentle and lovable.
"To one that has gained the confidence
of an Arab horse there is the pleasure of
knowing that he associates with brute
endowed with a SOUL" Abuse one of
them, and you have aroused devil that
can never be subdued, for of their cour-
age there is no limit, and they will re-
sist abuse while they have life. General
Grants stallion Linden Tree is said to
have been made vicious because the man
in charge of him did not gain his conf
dence and abused him.
There is a great deal of foolish senti-
ment existing about the Arab horse,
however. He has many good qualities,
is highly intelligent, quick to learn, has
rare beauty of form and rich quality, is
for saddle purposes beautifully gated
quick and active in his movements, and
of much endurance; but when compared
with the thoroughbred race horse or the
American trotter he suffers much by the
comparison.
He lacks the size and speed Of The
thoroughbred, and what spectacle {

Proof of the Earth,s Motion.

Take a good sized bowl, fill it nearly
full of water and place it upon the floor
of the room which is not exposed to
shaking or jarring from the street.
Sprinkle over the surface Of the water a
coating of lycopodium powder-a white
substance which is sometimes used by
ladies in making their toilet, and which
can be purchased of any druggist. Next
upon the surface of this coating Of white
powder make with powdered charcoal a
straight black line, say an inch or two in
length. Having made this little black
mark on the surface of the contents Of
the bowl, lay down upon the floor close
to the bowl a stick or some other straight
object, so that it will lie exactly parallel
with the charcoal mark. IF the line
happens to be parallel with a crack in
the floor or with any stationary object in
the room this will serve as well.
Leave the bowl undisturbed for few
hours, and then observe the position OF
the black mark with reference to the OBJ
ieet it was parallel with. 1t will be
found to have moved about, and to have
shifted its position from east to west
that is to say, in that direction opposite
to that of the movement of the earth
upon it's axis. The earth in simply re-
volving has carried the water and every
thing else in the bowl around with it
but the powder upon the surface has beer
left behind a little. The line will always
be found to have moved from east tx
west, which is perfectly good proof tha
everything else contained il the bow
has moved the other way.-St. Loui

Pertinent Questions.

Miss Emma Ewing, in her talk at
Chautauqua, gave the ladies some
thing to think about in her lecture on
cooking. us painting poor pictures
more refined than making good bread
and delicious coffee 7'' she asked.
It's it more degrading to prepare a
good, wholesome and delicious din
ner than to dig out old rotten teeth
and substitute rubber ones? Why
should joints enlarged by toll be
considered vulgar and joints broken
at base balls games be sign of gem
tility3 Why should it be more gen.
teel to make cake than bread, or more
high-lived 10 thump piano than to
pound a was board, or more refined
to carry fruit than vegetables?" These
are all pertinent questions, and all
apply directly % the discussion of the
dignity of labor. Americans will
have poor cooking so long as cooking
is left mainly to cheap labor with no
intelligent head to direct it. Cooking
is an art, and so recognized in Eu-
rope. 1t must be recognized in
America before we cease to be annoy
ed by bad cooking and dyspepsia.
