ITO secure your safety, sir, perhaps, <
Petroff answered boldly, and In few
words told his story. The comte, when
Petrof finished, was no longer yawning,
but angry and alert.
"Well," said he, '.if that isn't impu-
dencel Once, some years ago, the Krosh
pass brigands caught me and made me
pay round price for freedom, but who
would have dreamed Of their venturing
to the castle to try the game again?
This time, if I know myself, we'll turn
the tablesl''
And the comte jerked the bell. The
same man that had answered Petrof's
knock and wakened the comte answered
the summons and was told the details
''There's no use rousing the house,
master" said he, "unless you order it.
We three can manage them. They can
get in only by the scullery windows, and
we'll have them when they enter the
house."
Aplan arranged, they noiselessly start
ed below stairs, the comte carrying a
lantern over which he had thrown a
cloak to hide its rays. Taking their
stand in cautious silence, they feverishly
awaited events. As the castle clock
struck 1, as If it had been a signal, file
was heard swiftly and nearly noiselessly
cutting the iron grating. In short time
a section of grating was out, and a wolf
like tread was heard in the darkness,
followed quickly by another. AS the
muff1ed feet drew near the door leading
above the brigands found themselves
suddenly covered with light and the
yawning muzzles of three cavalry pis-
tolls. Resistance was useless. Three
men were more than match for two.
They helplessly suffered themselves to be
bound, disarmed and thrown like bum
die of fagots in the corner to await the
arrival of the officers the next morning
"Norvitsk, my friend. said the comte,
"you have saved my life possibly and
are rich man besides. Twenty thou
sand rubles reward has been offered for
the capture Of these men, dead or alive,
two of the most desperate brigands and
wretches that ever cursed Russia Twen-
ty thousand rubles reward, of which
you, Norvitski, shall have every kopeck.
Why, man, what are you crying about?"
"For joy, my lord, Petrof responded
and breathlessly told his sad story.
81 could not see them starve, my wife
and babies, good comte," he cried. 81
was going to the iron works, but now,
thanks to the Blessed Virgin, can re-
turn to my home, to Katrina, to the
children, whom never expected to see
again"
Exactly" said the comte, "and in
one of my finest sledges too."
The astonishment of the villagers
when this splendid equipage with furs,
footmen, outriders and jingling bells
drew up to Norvitski's humble hut, and
Noryitski himself, assisted by foot
man, got out-well, / leave you to
imagine it, as well as Kartina's joy,
who did not dream where her husband
had gone.
The brigands were promptly exiled to
Siberia, the reward paid In full, and to-
day if a happy man exists in Russia
Petrof Noryitski is that one.-From
the Russian.

ing?
A great many women have found out
what my text means and have taken the
lesson only too well to heart. Tt is not
intended for that class Of selfish human
beings, but for another still larger class
who consider in some ways their own
needs too seldom. All womenly women
need certain amount Of petting. Very
few women get it. What l wish to con-
tend is that there are ways of indulging
ones self that are more accessible than
we are prone to think. So long as it
harms no one else, why shouldn't we pet
ourselves?
Sometimesit Is a coveted book that may
be bought, a delightful picture that may
be seen, a tiny trip that may be taken.
Noneof these things costs much in money.
It is more that they are pushed aside by
what we are apt to regard as weightier
matters. Now, a little toning up and
summing of ones fancies is precisely as
necessary as a new gown or the recover
ing Of shabby chair. The great trou-
bic is that we can't judiciously weigh
the two wants. Either the wife and
mother is unworthy her noble title-the
grandest earth can give-and thinks Of
herself first and to the seclusion Of her
family, or she never thinks of herself al
all. Certainly the latter course is the
better, but it is bad.
She becomes nothing more than a mar
row minded drudge who never gives her
self an innocent gratifcation-quite as
surely as she is wicked despot who
takes those that are not innocent because
they invade the rights of others. The
best way would be for her husband and
her children to consider her tastes and
to occasionally crafty them. Yet, since
it must often happen that they will not
do this, there,is no need that she should

SELF
Those who live in the city have al
mans artifce to help them in this. Those
who live in the country have natures
hand to help. 1t may be walk by the
river; it may be street car ride to the
park. At the most it need not require
an outlay Of time nor money that cannot
be arranged if the circumstances belong
to the ordinary, and most circumstances
do.
In story read once long ago one sen
tence haunts me, though the rest is all
forgotten. A child inquired in innocent
sympathy of an unhappy sister, "Must
you be miserableF'
The frank answer was mo" firmly
believe that often is the answer.

YOU'D BETTER CHERISH HIM.

There are husbands who are pretty,
There are husbands who are witty,
There are husbands who in public are as smil-
ing as the morn;
There are husbands who are healthy,
There are husbands who are wealthy,
But the real angelic husband-well. he's never
yet been borni
Some for strength Of love are noted.
Who are really so devoted
That whene'er their wives are absent they are
lonesome and forlorn;
And while now and then you'l find one
Who's fairly good and kind one,
Yet the real angelic husband-oh, he's never
yet been borni
So the woman who is mated
To the man who may be rated
AS pretty fair should cherish him forever and
day.
For the real angelic creature.
Perfect, quite, in every feature,
He has never been discovered, and he won't be,
SO they say.

While not 1ndorsing all that the manu-
facturers of XXI claim for it, Mr.. Wash
burn reports that in addition to its ef-
fectiveness in checking the coddling
moth it also kept in check the woolly
aphis and apple scab on trees that were
thoroughly sprayed. Banding the trees
with strip of burlap proved valuable
adjunct to spraying. The bands are
examined every few days and the larvae
found beneath killed. The cost of treat
ment per tree with the mixture described
is Z cents. including labor and material.
In the cut here reproduced from the
station bulletin is shown the outfit used.
It consists Of a galvanized iron tank
capable Of holding about 100 gallons,
fastened to frame made OF 2 BY 19
plank, which in turn is hooked onto
wagon bed When it is necessary to use
warm solution, sheet iron stove is
fitted under the tank, its door flush with
the rear end. The smoke stack from this
runs forward below the tank, out through
hole in the frame at the anterior end,
and ends in an upright piece about 5 feet
long (not shown in plate). ABean pump
No. was used Its receiving hose
screws onto faucet leading from the
anterior end Of tank, and its two pieces
Of discharge hose are connected with
bamboo extensions, as shown in cut.
A wooden cover fits tightly onto the
tank, in the center Of whichis wide slit
feet long, through which a paddle IL In
serted and the liquid kept stirred while
being sprayed. A good and cheap im-
provement on this method of stirring is
to have a series of paddles hung from
the cover, all worked BY lever which
the driver could occasionally push back
and forth When not in use, this tank
fits into brick furnace and is used for
compounding any insecticide which re-
quires heat. A desirable addition is a
tackle to hoist the tank when full from
off the furnace and to roll it onto the

Too Horrible.

There was to be a grand display of rich
toilets at the forthcoming ball in pro-
vincial town. The wife Of wealthy
banker wanted to outshine all the other
ladies who had Invitations. She accord
ingly ordered dress from Paris that
should exceed by its splendor the widest
expectations. Exulting in the proud con-
viction Of her surprising magnifcence
she entered the ballroom. Here her ex-
perienced eye took stock of the ladies
present-a scream of horror-and she lay
fainting in her husbands arms, to the
no small CONSERVATION of the company,
which, however, is increased twofold
when another lady in the room is discov-
cred to be fainting. Our fair readers
will agree that both sufferers deserve
our deepest sympathy, for their dresses

They Drank to Lord How.

At one time the officers under Lord
Howe refused to drink his health at
their mess. for, though splendid admi-
raj, he was not popular in the navy on
account of IA certain shyness and want
of tact with those about him. The
chaplain. who was protege of his lord
ship. was mortified at this and deter
mined that they should drink to Lord
Howe. When called upon for toast
one day he said, 'Well, gentlemen,
can think of nothing better at this mo-
ment than to ask you to drink the first
two words of the third psalm, for q
scriptural toast for once may be taken
from one of my CLOTH" The toast was
accordingly drunk.
On referring to the Bible it was found
that the first two words Of the third
psalm were Lord How" After the
glorious 1st Of June the above was the
favorite toast throughout the navy, and
the chaplain triumphed more widely
than he anticipated.-London Tt-Bits.

This is Meant for You.

lthas been truly said that half the world
does not know how the other half lives.
Comparatively few of us have perfect health
owing to the impure condition of our blood.
But we rub along from day to day, with
scarcely thought, unless forced to our at
tention, of the thousands all about us who
are suffering from scrofula, salt rheum and
other serious blood disorders, and whose ag-
onies can only be imagined. The marked
success of Hoods Sarsaparilla for these
troubles, as shown in our advertising col
umns frequently. certainly seems to justify
urging the use of this excellent medicine by
all who know that their blood is disordered.
Every claim in behalf of Hoods Sarsaparilla
is fully backed up by what the medicine has
done and is still doing, and when its pro-
prietors urge its merits and its use upon all
who suffer from impure blood, in great or
small degrees, they certainly mean to in
clude you.
