An Authors Pretty Home.

The house built by Mr.. Rudyard
Kipling for himself in the midst OF
the hills near Brattleboro, VT, is
charmingly situated, and commands
a superb view of meadow, mountain
and woodland, including prospect
of Mount Monadnock and other New
Hampshire peaks. The house itself
is long frame structure, two stories
and half in height above the irreg-
ularly laid foundation of stone, and
is painted in wood greens and browns
that harmonize pleasantly with the
hillside at its back. In spite Of
posters, Mr.. Kipling has had diff
Guilty in keeping too-curious visitors
off his land and out of the house
itself. Near the new dwelling is the
homestead of the Balestiers, into
whose family Mr.. Kipling married,
and within easy walking distance is
the tiny cottage where Mr.. and Mrs.
Kipling have spent the winter and
are still biding the completion of
their larger home. Mr.. J. Lock-
wood Kipling, the novelist's father,
who is now staying with them, has
been for twenty-eight years in the
civil service in India. His son ap-
parently takes kindly to American
rural life, and may be.met tramping
about the wooded roads, gun in hand,
in heavy boots, shooting suit and
huge gray felt hat wreathed with a
white pugree-a picturesque figure

Was Used to 1t.

The hopelessness Of combating in
dividual stupidity with the most en-
lightened sanitary measures which
the authorities can provide was
evidenced the other day on a Grand
street ferryboat. A woman came
into the cabin carrying baby OF
perhaps nine months, and leading a
little toddler of about two-and-a-
half years. Both children, as well
as the mother, were comfortably
clad, but the children's faces were
pasty and unhealthy looking, as if
unwholesome food and ill-ventilated
sleeping quarters were their por-
ton. The former undoubtedly was,
for each child was munching large
slice Of not too ripe nor too clean
watermelon, bought from one of the
peddling fruit stands which abound
in that locality. The baby in arms
kept at his piece with his toothless
gums until he had secured severa.
bits which he swallowed with gusto
Alarmed for the effect upon his
tender, or at least youthful, stom
ach, a passenger, another woman,
approached the mother.
"Aren't you afraid to let you
baby eat that?" she asked, pointing
to the fruit.
The woman looked up mystifed
"Oh, he likes it, she said.
"But it may make him sick, he il
such a young baby" persisted tn

ooh, no." answered the mother
good naturedly, "he's used to it
and peaches" she added with an al
of pride at his digestive prowess.

An Old Fruit.

Nothing is now more universally
accepted, remarks Meehan's Month
ly, than the fact that the peach is
an improved variety of the almond.
The almond has a thin shell around
the stone which splits open and ex-
poses the stone when mature. This
outer skin has simply become feshy
in the peach, so that is all that gives
it its specific character. 1t seems
now clear from investigation in the
history of ancient Babylon that
in their gardens, now nearly four
thousand years ago, the peach was
cultivated then as it is now. 1t must
have been many years before this
that the peach was improved from
the almond, and this fact goes to
show the great antiquity of the fruit.
Possibly gardening in some respects,
at least so far as relates to many of
our cultivated fruits, was as far ad-
vanced six thousand or perhaps
eight thousand or ten thousand years
back as it is to-day. Phonicians
many thousands Of years ago, as is
proved by the records, had in their
gardens almonds, apricots, bananas,
citrons, figs, grapes, olives, peaches,
pomegranates, and even SUGAR cane
was in extensive cultivation. Ger
tainly this shows how far advanced
these nations were in garden cul-
ture in very ancient times.

A Sliding Scale.

The boy was covered with mud
to the top of his kilt skirt, there
were mud patches on his face and
hair and he had lost his hat, but in
his hand he grasped a chicken-a
limp, wet and muddy chicken. 1t
was the cause of his trouble, for he
had thrown stones in the. yard that
afternoon and had accidentally
killed the chicken. His sister had
declared that she could not love such
cruel boy. Then he had disap-
peared and had been found stuck in
a swamp.
When he saw his mother his feel
ings overcame him and he burstinto
a loud wall.
"My sister doesn't love mel my
sister doesn't love me! I want to
get losted in the woods and let the
bears eat mel"
But" said his mother, "you
cried when you pinched your finger
with the clothespin, and it would
hurt you far more if the bears should
eat you"
The boy was interested and dried
his tears. II mean a kind, tame
BEAR" he said, choking sob.
''But a tame bear has sharp teeth.
The boy rubbed his eyes with his
muddy hand and was lost in thought
for awhile. Then he raised his head.
His countenance was cheerful, there
was not q trace of sorrow in his
tone and he cried: II meant mean
nice little curly dog wifout any
teef. "-Harper's Young People.

The pog,s sense Of Smell.

It has often been proved thai
dogs are able to track their masters
through crowded streets where it
would be impossible to attribute
their accuracy to anything except
the sense Of smell alone. A natur-
alist once made some interesting
experiments as to this power as ex-
hibited in his own dog In these
tests the naturalist found that his
dumb friend could follow in the
tracks of his master, though he was
far out of sight, and that, too, after
no less than eleven persons had fol-
lowed, stepping exactly in the tracks
made by his master, it being the de-
liberate intention to confuse the
senses Of the dog if possible. Fur
ther experiments proved that the
animal tracked the boots instead Of
the man, for when the naturalist
put on new footgear the dog failed
entirely.

THE CENTER OF INTEREST.
Scenes Around the Court of Honor
at the Worlds Fair.


The Court Of Honor at the worlds
fair is the center of architectural in
terest, whether seen by morning,
sunset or electric evening light, and
the most conservative spectator can
not restrain his enthusiasm when
this glorious sight first meets his
eyes. The court surrounds the
great basin and is bounded on the
north, west and south by the build
ing of Manufactures and Liberal
Arts and by the Administration and
the Agricultural buildings respec-
lively, while across the eastern end
runs the magnificent Grecian peri
style with its four rows OF columns
one hundred and fifty feet high, sep
arated midway by noble arch sur
mounted by quadriga, thecolumns
adorned by eighty-ive allegorica
figures which stand out bravely
against the blue waters of Lake
Michigan and the bluer sky above.
At the western end of the court
rises the grand gilded dome OF the
Administration building and direct
ly in front of it the MacMon-
MES fountain, so-called from the
artists who planned it. The
central figure of the fountain is a
fine statue representing Columbia
enthroned in q triumphal barge,
rowed and guided by noble sculp-
tured figures on either side. Tritons
and mermaids are sporting in the
great lake on which the barge floats,
and the numerous tall jets of water
throw themselves at length down q
flight of wide steps to the central
basin Opposite the fountain is 9

various symbolic devices. In the
generous water space between the
fountain and statue, electric ant
steam launches with gay awnings
also graceful gondolas, with pictur
esque oarsmen, are constantly ply
ing. By sunset light, when th'
statues on the peristyle and othe,
buildings are touched with brigh
glow, or when, in the evening, tn
long rows Of electric lights cree
out one by one and are reflected il
the waters, the scene surpasse
anything that pen or tongue cal
describe, and impresses on the spec
tator a picture which will shin
brightly in memory as long as mem
ory endures.-N. Y!tLedger.

Just then q limp figure came
slouching around the corner. When
it saw the major, there was a start
of surprise. 1t made vain attempt
to escape discovery. The major
saw, and with a dash he secured the
cringing form. 1t was the colonel,

Senator Stanford and WomanlSind.

Senator Stanford attested in two
notable instances the high regard
in which he held womankind. His
respect for woman in general he re-
corded by giving her equal rights
with men in Stanford university.
His regard for her in particular he
showed by his will, in which the
great bulk of his fortune was left alb
solutely to his wife. A great many
people are interested, some of them
vitally, to see whether these two
important actions will work together
for good. Practically Mr.. Stanford
bequeathed Stanford university to
his wife. 1t is true he left the uni
versity about two millions and a
half, but that is far from being
a large enough sum to keep the in
stitution running on the scale on
which it is conducted now. Happily
Mrs. Stanford's interest in it has al.
ways been quite as lively as her
husbands. Yet it has happened be-
fore now that man and wife who

THE DEAR, SWEET FACE.

There's a face love most dearly
A face seldom see
It's features cut so clearly
How sweet II is to me.
I've longed for lol these many years
This dear face TO possess,
Tc feel that 1t was mine alone
To fondle and caress
But as the years glide swift along,
And zephyrs gently blow
Thro' whiskers mine that once were brown
But now as white as snow,
Possession OF this dear, sweet face
A long way of still seems;
see itever and anon
But mostly in my dreams.
I've tried and tried and tried again
I'd give shirts, cuffs and collars
To press once more the dear, sweet face
That's stamped on silver dollars.

LOCKWOOD HEIGHTS,
An Opportunity Is Now Pre-
 scented
To Those Interested in the Sanlta- rum to Come to the Front
 with a Little Help.

The Ward Sanitarium Company that was formed two months ago are in need of few dollars to insure the immedi- ate construction of one of the finest equipped ssnitariums west of Chicago.
 Phoenix at present has no sanitarium for the many invalids that come here seeking health, and they only stay a few days because they cannot get the proper care in our hotels. With such an establishment as the one they are going to put up on Edgewood Heights, all these people and great many more would come to, if they knew that such an establishment was built.
 The company is not asking subsi- dies from the people, as is usually the case by industries and institutions that will bring trade and enhance values in the section where they seek to locate.
 The company proposes to commence the erection of the building on April 1, providing, that more lots are sold, which they have put on the market at reason able prices.
 The lots are situated in the Edgewood Addition, which is the most healthy section of Phenix.
 This enterprise should not go to pieces, and every business man who has the interest of his city at heart should help it out.
 Inquire for these lots at all the news paper offices, or at the law office of Thos. Armstrong, Jr.

The Result of Merit.

When anything stands test of fifty years among discriminating people like the Americans, it is pretty good evidence that there is merit somewhere. The value of medicine is best proved by it's continued use from year to year by the same persons and families, as well as by a steady increasing sale. Few, if any, medicines have met with such continued success and popularity as has marked the introduction and progress of Brandreth's Pills, which, after trial of over fifty years, are con ceded to be the safest and most effect i've purgative and blood purifier intro duced to the public.
 That this is the result of merit, and that BrNndreth's Pills actually per form all that is claimed for them, is concIusively proved by the fact that those who regard them with the great. est favor are those who have used then the longest.
 Brandreth's Pills are sold in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar coated.

About two years ago l was confined TO my

physician pronounced Eczema. About three
weeks ago the same disease broke out again on
the same leg, and my physician has been attend
ing, me regularly, calling from once to twice
daily, the sores all the time getting worse A
friend called to me, and brought about
one half teaspoOnfm of CUTICURA, advising
me to try it, telling of himself, brothers and
mother having been cured by it. l would
not try it at first although l had been on
crutches for over two weeks, and at one time 1
counted between twenty-five and thirty suppur-
ating sores, and had not slept more than five
hours in three nights. Monday morning about
four o'clock the pain, burning and itching be-
came so severe that l determined TO try CUTI-
CURA, thinking that if it did no good, it could
not make my leg much worse, for it was as raw
as piece of beef and as red as beet, so
applied the CUTICURA, and in five minutes after
I laid down was asleep. Next day sent and
got box of CUTICURA, and I'll pledge my honest
word l would not take 500 to-day for it, if I
could not get another. l commenced using
CUTICURA Monday morning about four o'clock,
and to-day Tuesday my leg is nearly well, not
withstanding l had not walked step without
my crutChes in two weeks My gratitude to the
man who first compounded CUTICURA is pro-
found. May God bless him.
