THEN FARMER GEORGE FOUND TWIN CALVES
AND A sEPTET OF KITTENS.
PERU, IND, Nov. 1.-THE most remark
bla case on record in this place of nu-
merous and Simultaneous addition to a
household occurred yesterday at the farm
house of Edgar George, of this place. His
wife gave birth to four fully developed girls
shortly after midnight.
One of the quartette died three hours af-
ter its birth, but the remaining three are
apparently in the best of health, and show
every sign of living and thriving to become
blessings to their parents.
After this very extraordinary event Mr..
George paid visit to his barn to see his
pet Jersey COW. On entering the place to
his delight he found twin calves lying snug
ly ensconcod in the straw.
Scarcely recovered from the surprise that
these additions to his homestead had caus-
ed him, he strolled into the wood shed
shortly after daylight and found that his
house cat was curled up in barrel with
seven little kittens around her.
Such plethora of treasure was too much
for the worthy farmer to keep secret with
in his own breast, and after breakfast he
hitched up his team and drove into town to
tell tie story how within o1e night thirteen
newcomers had arrived at his home.

THE SOMA1 In the Aryan religion the
pIAyT I chief offering to the gods was
N" the fomented juice of the
Soma or Moon plant, which, being strong
drink, gave new excitement to those who
partook of it, and was believed to impart
power to the gods. 1t was believed, more
over, that it wrought miracles, and for this
reason, perhaps, it afterwards became the
chief god of the Hindus. In vedic hymn
the worshiper says:
"We've quaffed the Soma bright,
And are immortal grown;
We've entered into light,
And all the gods have known.
What mortal now can harm,
Or fOeman vex us more?
Through thee beyond alarm,
Immortal God! we soar.''
No such power as this is attributed to
any plant at the present time, and yet
many of the cures performed by s. s. s., a
purely vegetable remedy, seem almost to
border on the miraculous. In contagious
blood poison scrofu,s, skin diseases, some
forms of cancer, etc., it is the remedy par
ercellence.

1t Was a Sure Way to Mako Money.

His history is briefly told.
After several days Of thought he discov-
cred a sure way to make money. and, like
other men, he was in hurry to try it.
He made haste to insert an advertise
nent something like the following in sew
erai country weekliee:
Sure way to kill potato bugs. Send twen-
ty-two-cent postage stamps to K. Y. T.,
-. for receipt that cannot fall.
Then he hired dray to bring his mail
from the postoffice and had 10, 600 of his re.
ceipts printed. Insids of two weeks some-
thing like 6, 900 or 1000 farmers had con-
tributed twenty two-cept stamps each for
the printed recipes.
Teen several hundred of them bought
clubs and railroad tokets and started out
to interview the advertiser At bis Office
they were informed that he had Left 10 az
tend to somo business in Europe. and be
was not expected back. All he had left
was package Of 5000 or 4, 600 slips of pa

One day as was receiving my patients
in my study, saw tall man enter.4 "Doc-
tor, he said, 81 come to ask news of the
Countess Marie Baranow."
'She is beyond hope" replied. "She
will never return to Russia"
And this man fell to sobbing; then he
arose and went out staggering like drunk
en- man. That same evening told the
countess that a stranger had been to me to
ask after her health. She seemed touched,
and told me the tale have just told you.
She added:
"This man, whom do not know, fol-
lows me like shadow. l meet him every

She reflected, and then added:
"Look, there he is below my wiDdowv'
She rose from her sofa, drew the curtain
aside and showed me the man who had
called upon me, sitting on bench on the
promenade, his eyes raised to the hotel.
He saw us, rose and walked away without
once turning his head. So it was that I
took part in strange and incomprehensible
episode; in the love of these two beings
who were quite unknownaso ons another.
He loved with the devotion of rescued
animal, grateful and devoted until death
He came every day to ask me: "How is
she?" knowing that had guessed. And
he wept bitterly when he had seen her pass,
paler and weaker every day.
She said to me:
81 have spoken but once to this singular
man, and it seems to me have known him
for years." -
And when they met she returned his bow
with grave and charming smile-she so
lonely and dying. knew she was happy
to be loved with such constancy and re-
spect, with this exaggerated poesy, with
this devotion ready for all hazards, and yet,
faithful to her obstinate though high-mind-
ed resolve, she absolutely refused to see
him, to know his name, or to speak to him.
She said: stNo, no, that would spoil our
strange friendship. We must remain
strangers to one another"
As to him, he was of q certainty kind
of Don Quixote, for he took no eteps to ap.
proach her. He was determined to keep to
the letter the absurd promise he had made
to her in the train.
Often during the long hours OF weakness
she rose from her sofa to draw back the
curtains aud look if he were there below
the window. And when she had seen him,
always immovably seated on his bench, she
returned to her couch with a smile on her
lips.
ST should like to see her for a second in
your presence" he said.

A VAIL.
A long, Low, ,mournful sound which rever.

of mountainous Arkansas.
I By the side of the rocky path way is a
cabin, and away across the range, jus.
emerging over the tops of the pines, the
A lgust moon is rising.
A thin blue line of smoke is seen little
further on and up the mountain, curling
lazily upward.
From the low cabin door comes q woman,
an old, thin woman; her face is like leather,
and the deep furrows Of age and care are
deeply impressed upon it.
Again from out the stillness comes that
awful sound.
''Thet be dorg a-howlin'," she mutters.
"Thet be bad luck. Their be trubble a.

"Hayer! B zsl Hayerl" she calls, ard

miserable, yellow dog, and with tail be

slowly toward her.
He stops.
Aud again that dreadful, awful howl goes
echoiDg across the range.

with her hard, boDy hand, mercilessly beats
him.

Groveling, trembling, the dog skulks in.
to the cabin.
She stands moment and looks toward
the curling smoke, and then turns abruptly
into the cabin door. Once within, she
reaches into q corner and briggs forth a
rife. Examining it carefully. she sets it just
inside the doorway.
She stands moment irresolute, and then
goes to where the rife stands.
"You never howl" she mumbles, as she
oaresses the polished barrel; "but ye bark,

"a great deal of the part that passion ns-

ever made. Yet at the same time there is
nothing that Christian is more likely to
trip over than his own head.
"One of the best things that could happen

THE GOAT IN THE MEETING.
The people assembled,
The service began,
And the anthems Of Zion
With melody ran.
The reading concluded.
We were standing in prayer,
When visitor entered
Our service to share.
Twas a goat of Angora
With tapering horn.
And a beard. long and flowing.
AS gray as the morn.
The meek.eyed intruder
Chewed-doubtless gum
And the white. silken fieeces
Did its goat ship become.
1t came gently tipping
To the back of the pews,
And seemed quite attentive
To the heavenly news.
Great ripples of laughter
Coursed the face OF each child.
And the staidest of Elders.
While worshipping, smiled.
Such the scene for moment,
But that moment was long
To the pastor and people
In the worshipping throng.
Like the lambkin Of Mary
With the children at school,
The goat in the meeting
Was breaking the rule.
How simple! how artless!
The animal seemed,
But its presence was hurtful.
As we properly deemed.
So the Deacon. appointed,
Turned the visitor out,
And sent him to roaming
The forest about.
