much ambiguity. In one of the noun

On the Threshold.

Standing at womanhood's door is she,
Clad in her virginia. purity,
A creature fair as the lilies be.
And, like the lilies, alas, how frail;
They are borne to earth when the storms
prevail,
And their life goes out in the summer gale.
When we see frail and lovely Great
ure, standing on the threshold between
girlhood and womanhood, we shiver
with a fear of what may be, because
we have seen SO many succomb at this
critical period of life. What is needed
at this time is tonic and invigorant-
something that will promote proper
functional action of the female organs.
The only remedy to be depended on is

This unequaled medicine, which cures
diseases peculiar TO women, is especial

one of life's most trying periods by it.

Outside the mine he sat himself down
to consider what could be done, but no
thought came, for it was impossible
to use the strength of the horses in
that narrow place. Then he sprang up
and looked round him in despair. Close
to him was little ravine followed by
water. and on its very edge grew a
small mimosa thorn. of which the long
roots.had been washed almost bare by
a flood. He saw it and an inspiration
entered into him. With the help of a
lever he might be able to do "a feat
to which his own strength was I'M
equal.
Springing at the little tree, that be-

possible for his purpose, he tore it

CHAPTER V.
ISHE LEGEND OF THE HEART.

lLG
When / had gone few PAGES down
hole, it widened suddenly so that
we were able to stand upright and light
our candles Now there was no doubt
that we were in the tunnel of an old
mine. a rudely dug shaft that turned
this way and that as it followed the
windings of the ore body.
Along this tunnel we went for thirty
or forty PAGES, creeping over fallen
f,oulders, and twisting ourselves be-
tven the brown stalactites that in the
cour9e of ages had formed upon the
roof And floor, till presently we reached
IanIobstacle that barred our further
ebgress; a huge mass Of rock winch
al some time or other had fallen from
the roof of the tunnel and blocked 1t.
I looked at 1t, and said:
Now, senior, ] think that we shall
have to go back. You remember the
writing tells as that this mine, al
though so rich, was unsafe because of
the rottenness of the rock. Doubtless
they propped it in the old days, but the
aimbers Ilavc decayed long ago.
Yes he answered, I'VE can do
nothing here without help, and, Igna-
tio, / don't like the look Of the roof; 1t
rs full Of cracks"
AS these last words left his lips a
piece of stone, the size Of a child's head,
fell from above almost at his feet.

down, we examined the bed of the
tunnel together, and not useiesSiy, for
there sxs found the remainder of the
skull and some fragments of an arm
bone, but the rest of the skeleton lay
under the great boulder in front of US.
He was coming out of the mine
when the rock fell on him, poor fell

Pacific Mail Contracts.

wketheS-tiie Pacific Mail Steamship Com
rany will carry out the terms of it's con-
tract with the government for carrying
mails between New York and Colon is a
matter of considerable doubt among Post
Office Department officials. The contract
was made two years ago. and provided for
a change in the service on February 1 of
this year from sending a steamer every
tenth day to weekly trips.
The Postmaster General has received a
communication from Secretary w. Il. Lane
of the Mail Company, stating that 1t is
questionable whether the company can
meet the requirements. No action on the
communication has been taken by the de-
partrnent. II the contract is not carried
out the Postmaster General has power to
impose a heavy fine.
A like condition of affairs exists in the
mail service between San Francisco and
Hong Kong. for which the Pacific Company
also las the contract. The change in that
service fixed for February is from thir-
teen to twenty-six trips a year.

Alleged Land Erauds.

The general land Office has received no
Official confirmation OF the alleged Land
frauds at Duluth. The last report Of sps-
cial Land once Inspector A. p. Swineford
had contained no statements OF q sensa-
tional character. 1t is quite common, how
ever for these things to get into print long
before they are learned by the department
from official sources. Cnofficiaily IL 80 re-
ported that a great number Of crooked land
deals have been unearthed at Duluth. and
that a secret investigation is now being
conducted. 1t has been alleged that men
were picked UP at random and bribed to
appear before the land office and file pre-
emption claims. making affidavit that they
had settled on the land covered by the filing
prior to March ,. 1891. The fraud is said
to have been given away by one of the pre-
emptors. Interesting developments are ex-
pected.
