Farewell to Earth.

The crier or tambourineur, as he is
generally called, because he carries a
drum, is one of the institutions Of rural
France. A traveller in tie valley of the
Cele says, in "Wanderings by Southern
Waters" that he found the tambouri-
neur making the rounds of a town,
Justify beating his drum to awaken the
curiosity of the inhabitants, and ac-
companied by an OK, which he intro
duced to the public as ''le boeuf lei

The crier's business is to announce to
all whom it may concern that the ami
NAL is to be killed this very evening,
and that tomorrow morning it's flesh
will be sold at franc % centimes the
kilo. 1t will all go at a uniform price,
for this is the custom. Those who want
the aloyau, Or sirloin, will only have to
be in haste.

he has a rope tied around his nose and
horns, and is led by the butcher, evil
IDENTIFY thinks it great distinction to be
tambourine; bis expression indicates
that this is the proudest day of his life.
Every time the drum begins to rat
tie he hourishes his tail, and when each
little ceremony is over he moves to a
fresh place, with a jaunty air, as il he
were aware that all this drumming and
fuss were especially Intended for his
entertainment. No condemned wretch
ever made his appearance in public
with better grace.

MORPHINOMANES,
low q Terrible Habit Is Growing
in

How a Terrible Habit Is Growing
in Paris.
In Paris you can get quart of doc
tored brandy for less than 20 cents and
a glass Of absinthe served at a cafe
for less than 3 cents. These, with a
hundred fancy druglike little cordials,
that produce no open drunkenness from
their slow but constant manner of con-
sumption, are the true intoxicants Of
the Partisan. 1t is but step from this
form of intoxication to pure and SIM
pie drugs like morphine. The NOR
phine has gone so far with the better
class of people in Paris, especially with
women, that doctors begin to fear it's
use even for the most proper purposes.
Where a German doctor would really
ease stomachache by a hypodermic
injection, the druggists, however, like
all honest middle-class Parisians, have
q great love of money, and they hest
tate to refuse their customers in this
line. 1t is only of late that those vic
tins Of morphine have had a special
-mOrphinomanes. For the most
part they are women, or, better, ladies.
Men seem to be satisfied with absinthe
and the yillainous tobacco that one
gets in France. Things almost unbe-
lievable are told of the abuse of NOR
phine among the upper classes. Thus
it came out recently in court that
gentleman of family who had figured
prominently in musical circles had In
oculated with the deadly drug not only
his wife, but every servant in the
house, and they had all become NOR
phinomanes.-New York Sun.

said DR.. Carver. They are invariably
cold-blooded, iroflsnerved, desperate
men, who have devoted their lives to
hunting men or protecting themselves,
and who experience as little excite
ment while being shot at and shooting
at man as the old hunter does while
pursuing his favorite game. These
men carry the best of revolvers obtain
able, their pistols always being of the
largest calibre and single action, for a
cowboy or an Indian will have nothing
to do with a self-cocker. Such men
wear their guns in such manner as
to be able to drop their hand upon
them without any false, motions or
awkward gestures, and wear them
where it is impossible for them to get
caught in the clothing in the act of
drawing.
One of the coolest things I ever saw
was man who had terrorized Western
Missouri for long time after the close
of the war, and who had emptied his
six-shooter at party OF men opposed
to him and his side during one of those
factional fights that still occur in that
section. After emptying his gun in
stead of turning to seek shelter, he
rode boldly out into the town and sat
upright in the saddle coolly reloading
his pistol while under fire, and hav-
ing satisfied himself that he was ready
for battle again, he whirled around
and did some very effective work until
the opposition made it so hot for his
party that they retreated fighting down
a side street, and escaped across the
broad creek that ran through the edge
of the town. 1t is the same with the
shooter as it is with the billiard, base
bali, racquet, or tennis players; he must
be in good form to do his best.-In-

HUNTING THE SKUNK.
A Risky But Profitable Trade in
Connecticut.

A Risky But Profitable Trade in
Connecticut.
In the fall skunk hunting is popular
sport among the men and boys Of the
back country of Connecticut. The hunt
usually takes place on the young O the
moon" The participants clothe them
selves in raiment for which they care
but little, and, armed with stout
club or pole from eight to ten feet long,
they take to the field about 8 o'clock in
the evening. The polecat has an nm I'M
canny preference for cemeteries, and,
if there is one within reasonable dis
lance, the hunter makes for it. When
the game is sighted the hunter adj
vances stealthily, and If he manages to
get within striking distance without
having been noticed, he stamps OH the
ground. The animal on hearing the
sound, Immediately faces the enemy.
There is a quick blow of the club, care
fully aimed, and the 'polecat's days are
ended.
From the fatty substance taken from
the animal the country people try an
oil, which they believe possesses Won
derful medicinal properties, and it is
freely used by them in severe cases Of
Group, Inflammation Of the lungs and
rheumatic affections. The true value
of the animal lies in it's pelt. In the
majority of skunk pelts there is white
stripe running from the head to the
tail. These are classed as striped skins.
When the white stripe extends only
half way along the back it is half
stripe skin. A black pelt has but very
little white in it, and it brings a much
higher price than either of the other
classifcations. Formerly the hides went
slowly at 10 cents apiece; but stripe
and a half stripe now brings the trapper
from 80 cents to 81, and a black skin
goes at $1,5O.-Scientific American.

FROM THE PAST.
CHAPTER II.

Edna Deane's heart quickened it's
pulsations as she started for the recep-
ton room. The message brought her
bore token of excitement Her mind
upon her lover, upon the mystery of her
fair young life, she vaguely dreaded to
take the step across the threshold that
might portend revelations that would
distress her.
A glance through the vestibule doors
showed close carriage with two reek-
ing horses, a driver on the box. Had
this unusual spectacle something to do
with the summons of the moment?
You sent for me, Miss Chandler"
spoke Edna, inquiringly, as she entered
the reception room, and then paused
abruptly.
The face of the lady principal was
pale, her manner agitated. She half
arose, as if moved by sudden impulse,
to greet her favorite warmly, sympa-
thetically. Then, checking herself she
said, in p nutfied, ihdistinct tone of
voice;
yes, Edna. This gentleman has come
for YOU"
At the gentleman in question the
wondering, perturbed Edna was star

the principal, brokenly. Eyes, Edna,

Edna gasped the words. She COM
pretended that the consummation so
devoutly desired by her mystifed, i'm
patient lover and herself had arrived.
But the shock of the announcement,
a realization of how sunny and happy
had been her life under the tender
care of the school guardians sent the
quick tears to her eyes and the warm
color from her face,
Then eagerly, longingly, piteously,
she glanced at the man before her.
Was he the relative she had so often
dreamed of-the mysterious censor of
her fate?
You are not-my father?" she be-
gan, twisting her hands in nervous con-
fusion.
The strange, mobile features never
changed. Staring straight ahead of
him like some automaton, his face most
resembling that of a man in i'll health,
suffering but silent, schooled against
the betrayal of the least emotion, he

MONOPOLY.
How 1t Is Encouraged i'm the Rail- |
roads of England.

How 1t Is Encouraged in the Rail-
roads of England.
No railroad can be built in England
until it has received parliamentary
sanction The promoters of new line
have generally to face the most deter.
mined opposition before the sanction
is given. Then they have to satisfy
stringent requirements of the board of
trade, and afterward to make what is
known as permanent deposit, in token
of good faith.
The Jealousy of ether companies has
to be eonciliated, the opposition of con-
fllcting interests bought off, the demand
of inspectors and engineers, whether
reasonable or unreasonable, must be
met, and, finally, the required capital
has to be raised. In point of fact the
construction of a new line of railroad
is in this country made almost as troub-
lesome and difficult as it is possible to
make it, so that nothing but the most
urgent necessity or manifest advantage
will induce people to go into such an ad-
venture.
On the other hand, however, when n
line has once been constructed it is lit
tie likely to be disturbed by new COM
panies as parliament seldom encourages
new railroad enterprise in a district
that is already efficiently served. Hence
the railroads of Great Britain have a
tendency to become monopolist institu-
lions, and many of them meet with no
rivalry Or competition over large areas

Edna crumpled the unfinished mis-

Miss Chandler was giving her direc-
lions to go to her room and pack up
hurriedly.
In that apartment Beatrice Mercer
joined her. With strange, wonder
ing light in her eyes, she listened to
Edna's story of the sudden summons.
"Oh! / shall surely be allowed to

Business letters should be short and
to the point, writes Elizabeth Robinson
Scoyil in helpful article on 1.-THE Art
of Letter-Writing" in the Ladies' Home
Journal. In ordering articles state as
nearly as possible exactly what is want
ed. If the price is known mention 1t,
and write the amount required clearly.
1t is trying to receive gross when one
intended to purchase single thing, or
vice versa.
Friendly letters should be full Of de-
tails, telling all the interesting little
facts one friend would ask another If
they could sit down, side by side, to
talk. Bits of news that seem very
trivial to the sender are often well
coined with joy by the recipient. Do
not grudge a little time and pains to
keep those nearest and dearest to you
in touch with your daily life, even
though you are widely separated.
