THE POOR RELATION.
Often the Victim OF Lofty and Patroniz-
ing Hospitality.

ing Hospitality.
To illustrate the lofty and callous at
titude of petrified millionaire toward
his near poor kin, call to mind some
interesting phases of intercourse. A
charming young girl, formerly
wealthy, went to pay her millionaire
uncle in New York a visit. The family
pinched and saved for six months to
get her modest and proper outfit for
the visit. She was received in a mag
nifcent esta ablishment with mechanical
urbanity, the gorgeous gowns and sur
roundings of her cousins completely
eclipsing her. Her teeth needed atten-
tion and her millionaire uncle suggested
that she had better have them attended
to, and he recommended the family
dentist, who took look and said that it
was pity that so pretty girl should
have had teeth SO neglected, and pro-
ceeded to put them in beautiful order.
When the bill came in it was four
hundred dollars, and the poor little
girl was dumb with anguish, for she
knew the impoverished condition of
her father, and had thought, poor in
nocent, that the bill would be about
fifteen or twenty dollars. In her di-
lemma she went to her uncle and stated
the case. The merchant prince looked
over the bill and said he would speak
to the dentist and see if he couldn't
get a reduction for her. The dentist
was bullied into knocking off 500 and
the bill was sent to the little girls
father. 1t took him three years to pay
it. The merchant prince never even
offered to loan the money ro pay the
bill, and continued to do business at the
old stand as a commercial magnate,
prominent citizen and church member.

WISDOM NOT WELL FOUNDED.


81 remember once in my experience, ''
remarked literary young woman, 'of
taking several ladies to call on the late
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes, when | was
in school in Boston. l had known the
Holmes since childhood, and went
there pretty much as L pleased, and
often took friends of mine with me to
see the good doctor. On this occasion
one of the ladies was young married
woman. who had never read any of Dr.
Holmes books, and she insisted that
l coach her bit, so that she would not
make any mistakes. told her several
titles, and dwelt especially upon the
'Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, be-
cause that was my favorite. She was
an intelligent person and was a
rapid learner, so that when we started
do me credit. Well, everything went
swimmingly along, and she wisely kept
silent on the book question, except to
second the compliments of those of us
who were conversant with the doctors
bools-that is, swimmingly until just
as we were leaving Then she seemed
to think she ought to say something,
and she did. l was listening, as it
happened for l had grown little
careless, and had thought she wasn't
going to try herself.
oh, DOCTOR she said, in a little
burst of enthusiasm, L want to tell
you how much | have enjoyed your
books, and particularly the Auto
graph of the Breakfast Table,
We'll, thought should drop right
through the floor, and l kind of gasped
and waited to see what the doctor
would do, but my alarm was needless;
he simply smiled into her face, and in
his kindliest manner thanked her, and
said that many people thought the
Autograph was the best thing he had
ever done. Think of that" concluded
the young woman, "he even said auto
graph as she had said it, and she
never knew the difference until we got
outside, and then if she didn't know the
difference don't think | ever showed
anybody there was any difference in
anything. w ashington Star.

HE LIFTED HIMSELF ON ONE ELBOW.
Then she drew back. He stood be-
side the bed where Willie lay. His
right hand was raised, as if playfully,
over the child. Her side-view of his
face made her believe, at first, that
only Il loving smile lighted it. Then
the ridges of rime on his coat, and
certain rearward totter that he gave,
stung .her with doubt. AS he turned
full upon her, she saw the leer, the
sluggish flush, the bloodshot eyes
all was plain, then.
But she thought only of the child.
Luke, tell me, tell me: Have you
brought any money? Willie's sick;
he's awful sick. It's Group again. Z"
She shrilled more words into his face
as he stood unsteadily swaying before
her.
Money, Sue?" he mumbled. Then,
though incoherently, he spoke some
words whose meaning she gathered.
He had brought home the ten dollars,
all but a dollar or so. Certain ac-
quaintances had led him off. He had
taken only three or four drinks, but
she knew how he never could stand
any thing as could most other men,
and how his long sober term had made
it harder still.
"Oh, Luke" she pleaded, give me the
money! Where is it? l want it for

But he dropped inertly on his knees
before her, and then fell at full length
ol the floor beside the bed.

In ordinary respiration the nose
recognizes only pronounced odors,
since the filaments of the olfactory
nerve are distributed only in the upper
third of the lining membrane of it's
fossae, and in ordinary breathing the
air passes directly through the upper
half of these cavities. Hence modi-
fed respiratory effort-a quick, forced
respiration or sniff usually neces-
sary in order to bring air carrying odor-
iferous particles to the olfactory nerve
endings. Nevertheless, whenever air
mixed with odorous gases and noXious
particles is inhaled through the nose dur
ing Il few successive ordinary respira-
tions, the olfactory sense is awakened
to knowledge of their presence
through the law of diffusion of gases, in
virtue of which the odorous particles
are conveyed to the superior fossae of
the nose and hence to the terminal fill
aments of the olfactory nerve. Thus
to certain extent the sense of smell
is preservative of health.-Dietelic and
Hygienic Gazette.

ONE WOMAN'S CHAT.
She Would Fall In Love In Spite of He
self.

She was such pretty girl, not too
tall and just plump enough. Her eyes,
like a child's, were full of roguish
laughter, and while she listened her
dimples came and went.
When there was cessation in the
laughter she came forward and leaned
against my desk and the floor was
hers.
mo, [ don't agree with you," she
said. Il can't. do like big man, not
fat one. and he must be rather tall,
too, for I'd like to have him as near
heaven as possible, you know; but 1
don't agree with you about the bru-
nette, for my heart inclines toward
blonds.
Cant say how it happens, she said,
as she drew her eyebrows thought
fully together-'but l think, l really
do, that it is because the first time
ever fell in love, when L was of the
serious age of thirteen, the boy was a
blond. Anyway, l have noticed ever
since then that every time l fall in love
it's always with blond, and l think
it must be due to that first impress
sion.
''Oh! do fall in love continually. l
can't seem to help it. Every single
year | have at least one good case and
sometimes oftener.
But, as l said, it's always with a
blond. Now I've just got acquainted
with new blond, and he is perfectly
fascinating, and every time l think of
the serious work 1 have planned out
for the winter | shake with apprehen-
sion, for l can't be really and truly in
love and accomplish any great amount
of work
Usually manage to fall in love in
the spring, and then l have the whole
summer before me, but here | am con-
fronted for the first time in the fall,
with a case of serious love and hard
work Now, what's to be done?"
Earnestly she looked at me and sym
l looked at her-then 1
suggested: 'Well, go ahead! maybe it
will prove an inspiration to you"

pouted But it won't. 1 never could

The emperor and empress were ex-

anxious to amuse their guests; but for
this purpose unfortunately, romping
games were often chosen, which, though
certainly undignitied and ill-suited to
those beyond school years had not
however, the character attributed to
them by public report, nor the licen-
tious freedom believed in by the Fau-
bourg st. Germain, and contemptuously
sneered at by its aristocratic inhabi-
tants. The mistake lay in doing on a
large scale what ought to be tolerated
ouly among intimate friends and very
young people. But the mean ingrati-
tude of those who enjoyed all the gen
erous kindness lavished on their guests
by the imperial hosts, and then dis
figured the truth to sneer at them with
their enemies, was too contemplate to

RUINS OF FORT DU CHARITIES.
Historic Relic Slowly Going to Dust Over
In Randolph County.

Historic Relic Slowly Going to Dust Over
In Randolph County.
Over in the northeast corner of RAN
dolph county, ILL.,, covered with under
growth and weeds, but one little gate
remaining with the crumbling walls of
the outer bastion, is all that is left of
one of the historic fortressest of the
American continent. 1t is the ruins of
old Fort du Chartres, one of the chain
of Notifications erected by the French
for the purpose of repelling the attacks
of the red men and later the redcoats..
Away back in IT'S this point was first
selected and constructed. 1t took its.
name from the fact that it was con-
structed under the charter direct from
the French king and was built of wood
in ancient blockhouse style. That was
all that was needed at time when ar
tillery to breach the walls was hard to-
get and impossible to transport over
the dreary waste of the western conti-
nent. 1t became the most f1ourishing
of the posts and the surrounding region
soon settled up with thrifty subjects of
far-away France.
ohS up dIouIu lEfc posi-
the necessity for greater protection
than farmhouse causing the people to-
group themselves near fortified posts,
that the thirsty Indian might not shed
their blood in the ever-recurring raids
on the pale face" In time it was
fired, however, and nearly all de
stroyed. 1t was abandoned in 1872. The
villages were swept away in the floods
which buried all of that portion of
what is now the great state of Illinois.
Prior to this final abandonment, how
ever, under the administration of
Chavalier Macarty, the post was turned
into regular fortress with heavy ma
sonry quadrangle, inner and outer
bastions and scarp. This was done
principally for the purpose of resisting
the attacks of the English, then at war
with France on this continent.
st. Ange De Belle Rive succeeded the
Chevalier Macarty in the command of
Fort Chartres and retained possession
of the fort and country until the arriv-
al of Capt. Sterling of the British army
on July II, 1865, when st. Ange and his
troops took possession of the present
site of st. Louis, Mo.
This fortress built at so much ex-
pense in the wilderness of America,
and at the same time 50 strong and
durable, has been declining since its
abandonment. In places the walls
are torn away and almost even with
the surface and will all be mass Of

THE GREAT DECElVER,
Long and Black Record of Alcoholic
Beverages.

Long and Black Record of Alcoholic
Beverages.
More than two thousand wears age
the results of alcohol on the body
were compared to the bite of a SER
pent and the sting of an adder; and al
cohol has not changed its nature
since. At the present time alcoholic
beverages are certainly the most in
furious, deceptive and dangerous ele-
ments of death and destruction that
exist, and the annals of criminal
courts prove that they are an aggra-
waited public nuisance generally. Yet
the beverages are SO fascinating, and
the poison in them so insidious, that
the whole human race has been de-
luded and cheated for thousands of
years, and more injury has resulted
from their use than has been occa-
stoned by all the woe of war, famine
and pestileuce com bined; and now that
science, experience, and enlightened
reason have SO largely dissipated such
delusive cobwebs of appetite, preju-
dice, and passion, these poisonous al
coholic beverages should be banished
from society with all the intelligent
energy that an injured and outraged
people can command. d.-Christian Work.
