OF eanses the Whole Sysem.

During the last half century there
has been wonderful development
in what is known as sanitary
science. 1t is a science that
looks to the prevention of
diseases in communities through the
medium of cleanliness, and it COM
mendS itself most urgently to the
common sense Of the people. Means
while, it should be borne in mind
that the human system stands in
need Of sanitation, and requires
even more care than Of municipal
body. 1t is precisely here that S. s..
takes up the work of the sanitary
scientists. 1t cleanses the whole sys-
TEN, purifies the blood, disinfects the
channels through which it flows, and
destroys the germs OF disease. 1t is a
harmless medicine, and yet most
powerful one. 1t is natures tonic
remedy.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l.-"Harri-
son has got niger on the brain, SAID
a member of the National Commit
tee who had just come from the
White House to a friend whom he is
backing for the vacancy on the bench
of the Court of Claims. eyes sir"
he continued excitedly, "you may
not believe it, but it's so all the
same, he actually wants to have a
niger judge in the Court of Claims"
How much more this mad and dis
appointed individual might have
said will never be known, as his
friend succeeded in persuading him
to leave the hotel lobby and go to a
private room where he could relieve
his mind without being overheard.
1t is understood to be fact that Mr..
Harrison wants to appoint negro
to this vacancy. If he does it there
will be o howl from the society
folks, as these positions have hereto
fore conferred the highest social priv
ileges upon the families of the judges.
But the social influence in Washing
ton usually succeeds in getting what
it wants, and if it turns its batteries
upon the White House Mr.. Harrl-
rison will probably be glad to pro-
vide for his "nigger" elsewhere than
on the bench of the Court of Claims.
Mr.. Harrison has been here a
week tomorrow, but owing to the
continual wrangling among those
who claim the right to advise him,
he has made but little Roadway in
making appointments. Saturday

pected that the vacancies on the In

MY FRIEND.

What do care that his hair is gray,
His forehead crossed with many q line,
That his step Is SLOW and his years l know
Are three times mine?
That his once bright eye has begun to fade
And his once straight form to bend,
What do care? His heart is there
'Iis for that that loved my friend.
'Tis not only years that have dimmed his eye
And turned his hair from its own bright hue
They have left their trace on the gentle face
So kind and true
But the saddening touch of Sorrows hand
Those mournful lines have penned;
Yet still | find the noble mind
'Tis for that l love my friend.
And what do care that others scorn
His humble mien and furrowed face?
To me rests there beauty rare,
The holy grace
OF pure life lived by the Masters side,
Serving him to the end;
And my heart l raise III grateful praise
Thank God that 1 have my friend.

cause its business streets look like those
of our towns, and because the people are
enterprising and speculative. In reality,

are most like ours and most in sympathy

They sing of love in aimleSs way,
While summer flowers are blowing,
Yet-well she knows that-day by day
His heart is surely going.
And as the hours pass gaiIy by
With idle jest and laughter,
He, gazing in her upturned eye,
Heeds not what cometh after.
o! magic lies in gray-blue eyes,
Some sweet and subtle thrilling
Wakes, far apart in tinid heart,
Fond dreams oflove's fulfilling.
Forbidden fruit hangs ripe and low,
Close by the serpent Kisses;
The warm, red lips seem all aglow--
SOFT lips that plead for kisses.
And when beneath the walnut trees
They sit, as evening closes,
And softly watts the fragrant breeze,
The scent of summer roses.
If then his cheek but touch her hair;
Slight cause ween for wonder
That he should clasp and kiss her there,
The waving branches under.
All then no more from day to day
They laugh mid blowing flowers,
Nor sing of love in testing way
Throughout the stariit hours,
To other tune he sings his song
With words of earnest pleading;
And though the maid may listen long,
She listens, all unheeding.
For him, nor sigh, nor keen regret;
And ere the summer closes
Another, caught within her net
VIII wear her chain of roses.
MORAL.
When, with maid
In sun or shade
You play in august weather;
Or, meath the trees
In evening breeze
Sing low of love together,
Remember then
That other men
Have gone as you are going;
And wonder not
If you're forgot,
While yet the flowers are blowing.

the blood thrilling through every vein in

Eyes, perhaps" he said, though to tell
the truth, Mr.. Quire had not thought
much about it. And now the other
friends strolled up and the talk grew
general, while the train told off the miles
to the journeys end
1t was well toward the break of day
when, tired and yet wakeful, the group
finally separated in the entry, safe at

CHAPTER xxx.
A BAD DAY FOR MRS. EX,

BAD DAY FOR MRS. Elk.
When Windward came down late be
breakfast the following, or rather the
same, morning, he found letter beside
his plate. The posunark was familiar,
though the handwriting was not, and he
tore the envelope oper rather impatiently.
THAT tedious BlamInsr' heexclaimed.
But he was mistaken Blamms was to
bore him no more.
a - E3l.,i Al nnF r. "a ~
"Whew!" he whistled, as his eyes ran
down the page. 1t read as follows:
Mr.. Wiajv5>"i .1as-c..:
MY DEAR STIR have to inform you that Mr..
Blamms, at whose instance, believe. you went
to Washington, is deceased. He had been sub
ject to melancholy for some time, and yester-
day he was found hanging in his barn with lie
extinct His pecuniary circumstances haveof
late been straitened, and they weighed upon
his mind till it gave way. / regret to say that
his family are destitute, 30 that hope you will
spare no effort to press the claim in order to
assist them il this extremity.
The letter was signed by lawyer OF
the village, who, evidently, was IN charge
of the dead mans business affairs.
The missive slipped from his hand.
Am l guilty." he thought, Reason
said, mo, you did all you could, and
you told the truth;" but conscience
pricked him still. Am l guilty." he
repeated after he had reasoned his in
nocence out quite clearly.
With heavy heart he sought the
family. Mother" said he, Mr. Blamms,
my client, has committed suicide"
"Why, Windward, how shociingr she
replied.
YES, indeed" sud Windward. "And
now, of course, wish I'd worked harder
and done more"

Then, of course. the mother at once
took her boys part against himself.
"Why, Windward, you did all you
could, I'm sure. You came,down here to
oblige him. You never expected to get
any money; at least I'm sure didn't.
And now l hope you see the FOLLY and
ruin of it all and will give it up and go
back to New York

said Windward.

piled Mrs. Bassett. Il think you did

and think he might better have kept
alive and worked for his family. don't
see what good hanging himself did. Not
but I'm sorry for him and all of them"
81 think about as you do, mother"
said Windward. But despair is not
logical. Poor fellow. l feel, in spite Of
myself, that 1 was a little harsh and
hasty."
Il don't see how" chimed in Floy,
land you mustn't feel so. You are not
that sort of a man. OF course it's terri
BILE to think of, and perhaps we can help
the family"
Eyes" said Windward, Il was think
ing of that, too. believe I will go on
to the funeral and see that the family
are not to suffer. And think we had
better Ill break up here. was going TO
propose it soon anyway"
Eyes, think So" said Mrs. Bassett.
81 hate to go" said Floy, tapping her
chair and looking out of the window
into far country beyond.
Windward smiled family. "Well,"
he said, I'VE need not be abrupt. But l
feel that l should go on at once, and 1
can either return here for you or meet
you in New York"
1--WE will talk it over again" observed
Mrs. Bassett, land meanwhile you have
some things to see to, suppose, if you
are going on at once
Yes" said Windward, II must see
few people, but I'll be back at lunch,
and SO saying he left them.
II don't want to go, mother" said
Floy, coming up TO her mother and
winding her arms about her neck
why not, my child! repheo MIS-
Bassett, with gentle kiss.
Because" said Floy, laying her cheek
upon her mothers, because Mr.. Stevens
says he loves me very much.
My dear child!7 said Mrs. Bassett,
fondly. "And does that make you hap
py?'
Eyes, pretty happy" Fioy answered
with a sob, hiding her face upon her
mothers shoulder.
Windward, meanwhile, fastened to
Stevens desk at the department, but his
seat was vacant, and a fellow clerk said
he had not been there that morning thus
far; 80 Windward was hurrying ON to
