WHITEWASHNIlAD.

Buffalo Commercial: A missionary
stationed at one Of the South Sea is
lands determined to give his residence
a coat of whitewash. To obtain this,
in the absence of lime, coral was re-
duced to powder by burning. The
Iatives watched the process of burning
with interest, believing that the coral
was being cooked for them to eat
Next morning they beheld the mis-
sionary's cottage glittering in the ris-
ing sun white as Snow. They danced,
they sang, they screamed with joy.
The whole i.iar 4 was in confusi -,
Whitewash became the rage. Happy
was the coquette who could enhance
her charms by 4 daub of the white
brush. Contentious arose One party
urged their SUI erior rank; another
obtained possess ion of the brush and
valianty held it against all corners;
a third tried to upset the tub to obtain
some of &c precious cosmetic. To
quiet the hubbub more WhiteWash was
made, and in week not q hut, do
nestle utensil, a war club or a garment
but was as white as snow; not an in
habiant but had his skin painted with
groteSque figures; not a pig that was
not made white, and mothers might
be seen in every direction capering
jOyfully and yelling with delight in
the contemplation of the superior beau
ty of their whiteWashed babes.

LOVE AND MARRIAGE.

Sir Edward Strachey, in September
Atlantic: yet, depend upon it, as you
grow older you will see more and more
instances and proofs of the reality and
the depth Of the love of husbands and
wives for each other in most ordinary,
commonplace couples. l have heard
Of marriages where love has died out
from some canl1er Of SelfiShneSs or
worldliness at its heart; but l have
oftener seen unexpected proofs Of a
love stronger than death in all sorts
of people in whom / had never before
discovered any signs of sentiment or
romance Nor must we forget the
many loving couples in whose case
love has come after Il marriage which
seemed to have had no higher than
prudential motives of one kind or an
other. -Ove, indeed, must be kept alive
by love-love deep as the heart, yet
cou1sing through the minutest veins,
and giving to every power of life a
new and double power. Love must
show itself living in the great occa-
stons of lfe, in some supreme moment
calling for mutual sympathy in a great
JOY or grief; it must show itself in all

speeches in 100 days, visiting 20 out
OF IS counties in the state. But the
panic spoke louder than words.
the thousand little daily and hourly
thoughtfulness, courtesies and for
bearances of common life. These
things the reflection of which we call
good manners, the manners of the
Lady and gentleman, should have with
husband and wife reality as of sun
light compared with moonlight. They
alone can know and share these things
in their fullness, and they should be to
them as the atmosphere they breathe.
l once heard a undetermined lady say
sadly: We We're very much in love
with each other speaking of the old
days Of courtship; and she added. and
1t might all come back again if only
he would show me some love- They
were not selfish or ungenerous, but
their life was cold and dreary because
they had not learned rightly the arts
Of welded love. A wise and prudent
reserve in al other affairs of life is
so right and needful that there is al
way dagger Of its growing UP in the
one relation in which there should be
no reserve; and so it may grow and
harden till it becomes an impossible
barrier betN cen the hearts that should
be one. When Maurice was asked
whether we shall know one another
in the life to come he answered, in
his favorite Socratic fashion, with the
further question, DO we know one
another here?"

PElNNSYI4VANHA'S VOTE.
Returns from All the Counties Except
-Four Are Now In.

Harrisburg, Nov. 1S.-The official
vote has been received at the state
department from I'LL the counties in
Pennsylvania except Allegheny, Arm
strong, Potter and Schuylkill. With
out these the vote for Jackson, repub-
lean, for state treasurer, is $50, $50,
and for Osburn, democrat, 273, 239, Civ
ing the former plurality Of 10S,911.
The reported pluralitieS Of jackson in
the counties whose official vote has
not been filed at the state department
aggregate 29,T42. The total vote re-
cedved by him, including that reported
in the missing counties, lis 1901, and
that Of Osbu1n 3O3,35S, making his
plurality 1868.
Kent, the prohibition candidate for
state treasurer, in the counties outside
of Allegheny, Armstrong, Potter and
Schuylkil1 polled 10000 votes, or 1871
more than that party cast for it's can
didate for TIT same Office In 1891.
The vote for the peoples party for
state treasurer is 6,1O4 outside of the
counties indicated. The scattering
votes officially reported number 27.
The vote for judge of the supreme
court is lighter than for state treasurer.
In the sixty three counties whose Off
cial vote has been received here Fell,
republican, has 3SO,1O and Thomson,
democrat, 272,431; Ames prohibitionist,
2O,66O, and Stevenson, peoples party,
CT, 766.
If the official vote from the missing
counties should not vary from that
reported Fell will lead Thompson 1877
$50. The total vote for state treasurer
in 1891 was 79O,3O6, which is about
1900 more than this years record.
The republican vote has increased
from 1892 to AZ, O11 and the demo-
cratic vote has decreased from 359617
to 3O3,359. AS compared with the vote
cast for president last year the re-
publican vote has been reduced $4,000
and the democratic vote 1896.
Later-The official vote from all the
counties in the state for state treasurer
ard judge OF the supreme court was
tabulated in the office of the secre-
tary of the commonwealth today. The
reported plurality of over $4,000 for
Colonel Jackson was reduced to 1885,
146. 1t had been supposed that it
would exceed the phenomenal plurality
received by General Grant in 1872,
but the calculation which put Jack
sons vote ahead of that of Grant was
based on an erroneous reported plurali-
ty for Mr.. Jackson in Allegheny coun
ty, in which estimate the democratic
candidate was not given credit for
over 1900 votes he received in that
county. The total vote for state :
treasurer is 777,76O, which is 1856
less than that cast for the same Office
two years ago. Tho democratic vote
Is 51,515 less than that polled for the
candidate Of that party in 1891 and the
republican vote shows an increase of
1854. AS compared with last years
vote the republican loss
Is 145,162, while the total reduction
reaches 225,25O votes

female is pure white and has q large
bushy tail, resembling that Of a coon.
The male Is a big fellow, marked with
dark colors, and having large eyes and
heavy tufts Of hair on his cheeks,
which stand out quite prominently.

are very doci1e and friendly, but when
they engage in contest with ordinary
domestic cats the latter have but little
show. The male measures fully three
and quarter feet from tip to tip and
weighs about fourteen pounds.

Death of a Remarkable Child.

HYpE's, June s:-A very sad affection has
visited the home of DIR. and Mrs. J. s. Green, of
Long Green, Nd, in the death of their little
daughter, Ida May, aged nine years, who died
on Tuesday last, after few days illness;
Ida was remarkable child, as was known
and noted by all who knew her. In her men
tai development she was far in advance of her
age, and the thoroughness and ability she evil
dcnced i'll all kinds of learning was marvel
to her teachers.
as it is possible to find, self sacrificing and no.
BILE in every characteristic II her nature. She
endeared herself to every heart. She possessed
a deep affection, which was largely conferred
upon her parents, but was also manifested to-
wards all her relatives and friends, and eX-
tended to every thing that was good.
1t was, however, in her religious nature that
we find the most wonderful characteristics for
a child of her age. She delighted to read the
Bible to herself and to Others, and had a fond
ness and preference for religious reading. 1t
was her Underwriting principle to take all the
affairs of her life to her Saviour in prayer
She possessed pure faith and trust in God
that mphasL ed the words of the Saviour when
He said, ''Of such is the kingdom of heaven"
During her illness, although great sufferer,
not u murmur was heard from her, not II tear
seen. As illustrating the religious nature of
the child since her illness, there was found in
missionary collection OH the approaching Chill
dren's Day ut her church, Il prayer written by
her. asking Gods blessing to accompany the
money. As may be imagined this child was
universally beloved, and in her home, and es-
pecially in her parents hearts, she was bright
light OF comfort and joy, and now that God, in
His infinite love and wisdom, has taken away
this light, this precious life there are depths OF
sorrow and darkness. But withal there is
great comfort in the memories of u life SO pure
the fold has been taken in the arms of the
Good Shepherd.

The Cosmopolitan.

With the third part of "Omega," the work
of the French astronomer Flammarion, which
appears in The Cosmopolitan for July, the
reader is able to grasp something of the great
purpose of the author. ''Omega" is declared
by those who have read the entire work to be
one of the most remarkable writings of the
century. While pretending to be novel, it
is a work having deeply philosophical pur-
pose, as is more fully developed in later chap
tiers.

and illustrated booklet describes the making
of the magazine and offers liberal prizes to
