But"-she hesitated and flushed deeply
--"you will kiss me just once to-show

BY way of answer, Eda flung both her
arms around Naomi Poles neck and
showered score Of fragrant kisses on
her cheeks, lips and brow.
''Friends," she cried, passionately,
"forever erl"
"It's high time you were here, Naomi
petulantly uttered old Granny Pole,
''when here has John Classon been a.
settin' half an hour before the fl re,

John Classon colored a little as he held
out his broad, sunbrowned hard to
Naomi.
"You see," said he, ''Dave came over
to our house to see my Cousin Hessie,
and-and l thought it would be a good
chance to tell you what I've wanted to
tell you so long. Can't you guess what
it is, NaomiW
1t was late when Dave came home.
Grandma Pole had long been abed aud
asleep, but Naomi sat before the dying
fire, thinking.
"aullo, Naoml you up3" was Dawes
finland greeting. "Tve got news for
you. I've engaged myself to Hessie
Holt, and if the crops turn out good
next year, my wife shall have as good a
piano as Miss Edith Stuartr'
Naomi held out her hand; the limpid
black deeps sparkled in her eyes.
"l'm awful glad, Dave" said she.
"I'm sorry was so cross with you to-

"And hadn't she9"

he asked me to be his wife"
The brother and sister talked late and
! lovingly together, while the clock licked
behind its screen of asparagus and the
snow built up feathery barricades against
the outside of the window panes; and
when Nioami laid her head on the pillow
her last thought was that Of gratitude
that she had listened to the trumpet

''she was no rival of mine, and-and

Plants Living without Earth or Water

A number of plants have the singular
power of living u long time without
water, aud without any connection with
the earth. DIR. Torrey found root with
some signs of life in a herbarium long
after 1t was collected, and hence we have
Lewisia rediviva. The Rose of Jericho
is plant not distantly related to the
wild carrot, which draws itself out of
the ground and rolls into ball, driven
by the winds and then spreads, roots and
grows under the first rainfall In Mex
leo, Arizona and Texas, is a club moss
which also dries into ball. and is sold
in curio stores as the "Resurrection
plant" 1t develops in earth or water
after a six months drying, just as well
as if nothing had 'happened.-New York
Independent.

The little island of Navassa, which
lies in the Caribbean Sea, about thirty
miles from Hayti, is of small account in
itself and geographically considered;
which is probably the reason why its
acquisition as part of the United States
territory by the mere act of Presidential
recognition, as very briefly announced in
one of President Hayes's messages, at
tracted little public attention at the
time. Latterly the island has been chiefly
notable as the scene of a Iiotous out
break by laborers in 1889. Commercially
its only value is in its rich phosphate de-
posit. In diplomatic sense, however.
its acquisition may easily prove to have
been an event of utmost Importance,
since it has given the United States a
foothold in the West Indies-s most de-
liable section of the globe, at times, in
b to have a stopping place.

Says the San Francisco Chronicle:
That the German Emperor has tender
heart under all his martial sternness is
shown by the pardon he granted to a de-
serter from the German army who was
captured on his return to the Father
land. The application that touched him
came from the little daughter of the
prisoner, who appealed to him on her
fathers birthday. For an autocrat who
has retained his warm sympath;es there
is always hope. Napoleon or the great
Frederick would have tossed this little
girls letter into the waste basket.

Many Eastern drug stores have
adopted the precautionary measure of
having two persons attend the prepara-
tion of any prescription containing pois.
onous drugs. The Medical Record calls
attention to the Harris murder trial in
New York City as an illustration of the
importance of this check, because ''if a
single clerk received the prescription,
prepared the capsules and delivered them
it might readily have been claimed by
the defense that a mistake had been
made by the druggist. As it was, the
druggist was able to go on the stand aud
testify that an assistant had also read the
prescription and seen the amount of
morphine which it called for properly
weighed and dispensed"

A Story of Equine Friendship.

A story of a remarkable instance of
equine friendship comes from Portland.
One of pair of horses belonging to the
horse railroad company was sold, where
upon his mate, blind horse, refused to
be comforted and so pined away that the
General Manager went to the new owner
of the other steed and asked for the 10 an
of the animal for visit to the stable.
As soon as this horse was put in his old
stall, the blind horse showed signs of
great delight and at once began to re-
cover his appetite and his health. The
owner of the other horse, seeing the love
OF the blind one for his friezd, bought
him, too, and now drives down town
with q span.-Lewiston (Me.) Journal.

The peoples party members of con-
gress are making a determined effort
to bring up the subtre asury bill for
discussion. The two old parties are
trying to choke off discussion. If it
is such an impracticable scheme
why are the bosses SO afraid to have
it aired, and to give the public at
large enlightment on the subject.
Certainly if it is such visionary plan
the sooner it is shown up the better.
Their uneasiness arises from alto

they fear the results upon the masses,
of discussion in congress of this i'm

and to the expense of handling in
Buffalo. The difference between the
New York and the Liverpool price
for the same month was nearly "a
cents, while the cost of ocean car
riage, as we have seen, was only 9
cents and small fraction. There
does not seem to be any legitimate
margin such as this for the salts
faction of all risks in transit and the
cost of transferring in New York. To
sum it up, the difference between
Minneapolis price and Liverpool
price in September of this year was
SO cents per bushel. To cover this
we have ireights, lake, canal and
ocean, aggregating about II cents.
Elevator and loading charges at
Duluth run from TX to X cents per
bushel. Traussliippent and elevat-
ing charges on the way would
amount to about cents per bushel
additional. Adding delivery charges
at Liverpool, incidentals and losses,
we have total for everything COW
ering the entire journey from Duluth
to Liverpool of, say, not more than
27 to % cents per bushel at the
most liberal estimate. With a diff
ference of 36 cents per bushel in the
average market price for the month,
it seems reasonably clear that from
to 10 cents per bushel is lost in
the transfer; since the allowances
made cover freights, transfer, eleva-
tor charges, primage, insurance and
all incideutals, leaving only the in
terest on capital, invested to be ac-
counted for. Ii this shrinkage is due
to overcharges anywhere, it cannot
be on the part OF carriers, whose
rates have been given. If 1T be due
to American speculation in food pro-

counted on. An unaccounted-for bal

Low PRICES OF SILVER.
The Aine.Owners at Aspen Give Vent to
Gloomy Forebodings.

ASPEN, Col. April 1. - Considerable
anxiety has been caused among miners,
business men, and In fact, all classes of
people in Aspen who ara dependent solely
on the production Of our mines, on account
Of the price Of silver. Rumors are rife re-
gardng the closing down of several proper
ties whereby hundreds of men would be
thrown out of employment. In view Of
these facts an Associated Press representa-
tive called upon various mine managers
and eliciied from them expressions upon
this vital subject. Fred Buckley. manager
pany. was first seen and said:
mo, we will not close down for the pres
ent at any rate; few men were laid of,
tut not many. Our chief production at
present is a high-grade lead ore. carving
from 10 to 20 ounces Of silver. OF course,
so long as lead keeps up we can ship this
ore. because it carries but little silver and
being desirable smelling ore. The treat
ment OF the charge is light, and therefore
makes it profitable to ship. You can state
positively that there is no intention at pres
ent OF our closing down."
Manager Newberry OF the Aspen Contact,
Ray OF the Argentnm and Durant Of the
Compromise and other managers were
seen. who made practically the same state
ment regarding the future action as those
already given. They said it was TO the
everlasting credit of mne-owners that when
an emergency did arise whereby 10 discOn-
tinue operations would be money-making

rise above these Dercenary temptations aud
