sportsmen Never Get Ill.

AS a rule q sportsman may take
great liberties with himself without
being much the worse. No man was
ever harmed by wet feet on "a moor.
though ii he comes home and contem-
plates them for an hour over q gun
room fire lIe may be reminded OF the
indiscretion. A deer-stalker has to
put up with great exposure and tenn
porary discomfort, but he is rarely
the worse for il. He may have to
run at the top of his speed for two or
three miles along rough hillside to
cut off stag he has wounded or start
ed, or in some way made a mistake
with, and he arrives at his post as hot
as man can be.
The deer are not in sight, and have
to be waited for in the best position
for the shot, not for the comfort OF
the shooter. The place is high up
1000 feet up, perhaps, among lichen
and rocks and great patches OF snow:
it is October, and an east wind blows
upon the little company of three which
seems to cut into their very hearts:
finally snow shower comes on, as IL

a couple OF hours or more in such n
position, teeth chattering, body shake

judiclously wait for an hour he IS
probably missed; the above three
phenomena do not promote good rifle
shooting. Very likely the stag never
comes Mt ALL he was suspicious and
uneasy, and preferred to take an un.
usual pass, and so disappointment is
added to the other discomforts. But
such wait has never made us III. nor
have we ever seen stalker who was
the worse for it.-From Macmtlans'

sLuMsER SONG.

The mill goes soiling slowly around,
With steady snd solemn ere9S.

Ny little one hears that the old mill sings;

The sails are reeied and the nets are drawn,
And. over his pot ofbeer,

And scolds at the stars that wink.

Men of Cultivated Taste.

There are about 200 tea tasters in
this city, a well-paid class of men,
most of whom in the course Of nature
will die OF kidney disease superinduced
by their unwholsome occupation. The
habits of these men are exceedingly
curious. Some of them refuse to ply
their trade save in the morMing, on
the ground that the sense OF taste
cannot be trusted after it has been
bewildered by hours OF work. Most of
them avoid the use OF tobacco and
of highly seasoned food. Their ac-
curacy OF taste is astonishing. A tea
faster will grade and price dozen
qualities OF tea all from the same
cargo. All this accuracy seems unnec-
essary, however, forgrocers unhesitat.
ingly sell the same tea to different per-
sons at very different prices, so ignor-
ant are most persons OF quality in
teas.-New York Sun.

The Luck ofAmerlcan Country
Homes,

What American families have not
yet achieved to any great extent, and
the conditions OF American life seem
not to encourage, arc real country
homes, from which the dwellcrs shall
60 to town for the winter, and where
their principal ties and their more seri-
Gus expenditures shall remain. Until
very lately thecity house has been the
rich Americans real home. When
men who have retired from bus
mess make ether homesi in tho country:
when people who now live in town for
pleasure learn to spend three months
IN town and nine in the country. in
stead OF vice-versa; when state roads
and electric railroads make tho conn.
try more accessible, and the expendi-
ture in the country of money made in
town makes the rural districts more i'm.
Seresting; when n lifetime spent in
money-getting in Wall street or "The-
swamp ceasesto be considered "snc.
cessful," there will be less difficulty
than there is just now in providing
that the city man'sgrandson may have
such share OF real country
life that his grandson, when Il comes
his turn to come TO town may have
something worth fetching. --Scribners

wish people to know that she is any
kindred OF ours"
In about an hour after the above
conversation the carriage was on its
way for the poor orphan child. 1t
was about the middle of the afternoon
when MabIe arrived at her new home;
she had expected to find one asgood as
her mother; but little did she know
that she was to be treated as me-
NAL.
Months sped by, and she and Arthur
met frequently, and they began to
make friends with each other. Little
did they know what their friendship
would ripen to!
Still Mabel was kept as a mental.
Ten long years passed, weary years
to the orphan girl, with no one to say
a kind word to her except Arthur.
Now Mabel was just budding into
womanhood. So far she had looked
upon Arthur as an elder brother; and
not until he had returned from college
did she know how dear he was to her.
She loved him with all the ardour of
her woman's nature. Arthur, who
was destined for the bar, returned that
love. Many happy hours had the
young lovers spent in the uncovered
arbour in the garden.
1t was a pleasant June day, twelve
years after Mabel was installed at the
St Glars. Mrs. st. Clair was sum
moned to the drawing-room, to the
presence of a tall stranger.

Mrs. st, Clair summoned Mabel from
the kitchen. She appeared before
them in all the beauty and grace so
natural to her. She was dressed in
the plainest fashion; a plain print,
with spotless collar and cuffs. The
gentleman sat with bowed head until
| she entered; then, starting as if from a
dream, exclaimed, 'THis, then, is my
daughter, for whom have sought so
long. My child-my long-lost Mabel"
"Oh, father, my father, is it indeed

bosom OF her parent.

responded the Baronet.
Need we add that, in two months
from the time when Mabel was thus
claimed by her father, there was a
grand wedding at the st. Clair
mansion, and Mabel Waters was
made the happy wife of Arthur st.
Clair?

THE SUB-TREASURY.


The sub-treasury scheme of the farm
er's alliance to issue certificates on stored
products of the farm will be bone of CON
tentiun at the next general meeting of the
alliance Up to 1910 the United States had
never Yentured to take entire control Of its
funds. The present sub-treasury system
first went into force July 4, 1910. 1t di-
rected the construction Of vaults and safes
in the treasury for the safeskeeping of the
public moneys; provided for four receiY-
ers general, at New York Boston, Charles
ton and ST. Lou1ss; stipulated that all re-
eeiYers, treasurers or other officers en-
trusted with the custody of public moneys
should give proper bonds for its care OF
transfer. The plan promised to work very
well, but before it had got into operation
the wings, who had come into power at the
election Of November, 1840, and who had
determined upon the re-esta ablishment of
the United States bank, abolished it. The
repeating act was passed in 1912, and be-
came law August 49, Both of the bills
for the establishment of national bank,
however, which were carried through by
the wings, were vetoed by President Tyler.
The next congress, elected in 1912,
had democratic majority in the
house, but their efforts to renew
the sub-treasury system were de-
feated by the Whig majority in the senate.
For four years, therefore, the treasury was
managed at the discretion of its secretary
only, without legal regulations. Where
depositaries werenecessary, the banks ofthe
different states were used, and whenever
it was possible, the secretary obtained col
lateral security for the moneys on deposit.
The election of President Polk brought in
a congress with a democratic majority in
both houses. The sub-treasury plan was
again introduced, passed by both houses
and became law August 9Th, 1886 This
act was essentially the same as that of July
4th, 1910, and has remained in force ever
since almost unchanged except that the
number of receivers, now known as assist
ant treasurers, has been increased. There
are now nine of these, whose offices are at
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, New Orleans, st. Louis, San Fran
cisco, Cincinnati, and Chicago. There was
one at Charleston, but the sub-treasury
there was discontinued in 1876. These as
sistant treasurers receive salaries ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year, and are
obliged to give bonds for their honesty in
such amounts as the secretary Of the treas
ury may direct.

THE NEW STREET DRESS.
A HealthfuI, Sensible and Tasteful
Costume for Ladies'.

Relative to the new street dress for fe.
males the Housewife of New York saws:
The movement in Vienna toward pro-
hibiting the wearing in the streets
Of sweeping petticoats by woman
on the part Of the city authori-
ties, looks like a move in the right direc
ton. The unwholesomeness of the prac-
tice is SO apparent, and the menace to
health SO evident, as to arouse the health
authorities in all cities to arrest every Wo-
man seen sweeping the streets with her
skirts. But can anything be more humil-
iating than to contemplate the necessity
for such action against women2 There are
many women, doubtless, who do not real
ize the dangers they incur, not only for
themselves but for others, in wiping up on
their clothing the disease-laden dust and
dirt in the streets of towns; but there is
not single woman with cleanly instincts
or tidy lady by birth or training, but
must shrink from the thought-and revolt
at the practice-of dragging her clothes in
filth about her feet. She Knows it is not
nice. She knows, also, that it is not pleas
ant to the eye, nor clean in any way, to say
nothing of the idiocy of going so clad that
ones hands as we'll as head must be oc-
cuPled in lifting petticoats from the ground
and from cutters, and the immodesty of so
doing; for while thereis nothing immod-
est in short skirt, there is much that
might be 50 called in long ones lifted at
random under different necessitating cir
cumstances. The short, straight pettlcoat
is perfection of an outside skirt and ifI
women part with it for anything less neat
convenient and becoming, they well deserve
to be rated as unmodihed fools There
should always be a large enough body of
respectable women everywhere to make
the wearing of healthful, sensible and
tasteful costume common enough to be in
conspicuous and to free it from being in
any way outre In its effect. Women have
come to wear hats and bonnets Of a tbous-
and styles and sizes, and there is no reason
why their petticoats shonld conform to any
set decree Of fashion, whatever that may
be-the prescription of some dressmakeT,
in point of fact.
