The Rev. VIM. P. F. Ferguson, whose pic
ture we give above, will not be unfamiliar
by sight to many readers. A young man, he
has still had an extended experience as
and pastor that has given him wide &C
quaintance in many parts of the country.
In an interview a few days ago he said:
In the early summer of '94 went upon
q tour through Canada on my wheel. Ny
route was from Utica to Cape Vincent thence
the north shore Of the lake to Toronto and
around to Niagara Falls. l arrived at Cape
Vincent at o'clock, having ridden against
strong head wind all day.
"After a delightful sail through the Thous-
and Islands, | stepped on shore in that quaint
OLD city OF Kingston. A slight shower had
fallen and the streets were damp, so that wis
dom would have dictated that l, leg-weary as
l was, should have kept in doors, but so
anxious was to see the old city that spent
the whole evening in the streets.
Five o'clock the next morning brought

the damp streets had proved an unfortunate
combination. gave, however, little thought
to it, supposing it would wear off in few
hours, and the first flush of sunlight saw me
speeding out the splendid road that leads to-
ward Napanee.
"Night overlook me at little village near
Port Hope, but found me still lame. I rested
the next day, and the next, but it was too
late; the mischief was done. I rode good
many miles during the rest of the season, but
never day and seldom mile without pain.
1.-The winter came and I put away my
wheel. saying now I shall get we'll, but to
my disappointment I grew worse. Some
days my knees almost forbade walking and
my ankles would not permit me to wear
shoes. At times I suffered severe pain, so
severe as to make study practical impos-
sibility, yet it must be understood that
l concealed the condition of affairs as far
as possible.
From being local the trouble began to
spread slightly and my anxiety increased.

SYMPATHY FOR CCBANS.
Resolutions Prepared by Represent
ntiye Suizer of New York.

Congressman William Sulzer of New
York has prepared resolution which he
will present to the committee on platform,
and upon which he has been promised a
hearing by such members OF that commit
tee as have been selected:
I'VE extend our sympathy to the people
of Cuba in their heroic struggle against the
corrupt and cruel political system which
has oppressed and impoverished them, and
We look forward with confidence to the day
when the new republic shall take it's place
among the nations of the earth. The Span
ish government Is no longer capable of
maintaining it's authority in the Island of
Cuba, of fulfilling its treaty obligations,
and the destruction of American property
In the island. the reputed Imprisonment of
American citizens without due process of
law, the humiliation of American COM
merce, the frequent alarms on our coast
and the constant menace to our peace,
impose upon the government of the United
States the duty of restoring order in Cuba
We therefore favor the prompt interposi-
ton of our armed force and believe a gov
eminent satisfactory TO the Cuban people
should be established as a guarantee of
permanent peace.
The fact that war exists in Cuba is no.
torious and undeniable, and in our judg-
ment the government of the United States
should recognize the Cuban patriots as
beliigerents, entitled to all the rights ac-
corded by international law and usage"

HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL.
Rich Girls Become Dairy Maids {,

From the Kansas (sffv Star

Rich Girls Become Dairy Maids to
Preserve Their Compilations.
From the Kansas City Star.
Pretty women have known for q long
time of the virtue Of fresh milk and sweet
butter in health and good looks. The little
country place nestled away not far from the
city and manifestly to supply the town
house with country products has been real
ly for the freshening Of the complexion and
nerves.
When a certain very well known society
woman went to her doctor with a muddy
complexion, that distinguished worthy said
somewhere else.'
why, doctor, what do you mean?' re-
piled she, startled and indignant.
Il mean literally what I say. Take your
self to your little country place and wash
your face with fresh milk every morning
at o'clock"
But. doctor, where can I get fresh milk
at such an hour?'
Get it from the COW. Do your own
milking. Pour some In bowl and battle
your face in 1t. Let 1t dry on. Drink some
milk. Churn your cream. wash your face
in buttermilk twice day; carry the milk
pail from the barn yourself; pour the milk
into the pans with your own hands; do
your own dairy work. In month come
back and / will tell you what to do next"
Inside Of a month she had forgotten the
muddy complexion, for 1t was a thing OF
the far past.
The finest private dairy in the world be-
longs to Levi P. Morton, who built 1t after
his many daughters had begun to grow to
girlhood. This dairy was TOR long time
maraged by the family. A milkmaid would
do the butter work and the Morton girls
would help her. They lived at Ellerslie
then, and part of every day was spent with
the cows and the milk. To this day, If
they are sick or out Of sorts. they go to the
farm and revel in the great marble butter
rooms for a day. When the youngest was
taken to San Francisco fer her health last
winter she begged to go to the butter house
instead.
A western millionaire, whose daughters
recent quiet marriage surprised both CONT
rents, has butter house built for this
same daughter on the most romantic plan.
Through the farms runs clear, cool
stream, and upon the coolest portion Of 1t
sets the little dairy. The outside is Of
rough granite, low built and narrow. In
side there is but one ROOM This Is tiled,
and through the center of 1t flows the
stream. Great windows air. the butter
faucet of great size, that filters it, and it
passes out through a specially contrived
appliance. In the middle of the butter
house the stream gurgles and rises and
falls all day. There are two steps leading
down to the water, and on these steps the
fair buttermaker sits and washes the but
ter until the water flows through it clear
This is butter-making on a decidedly ro-
mantle scale. It's usefulness to this wealthy

the healthiest pastime known. But, then.

THE DIAMOND IN HIS LEG.
story of the Way the Orion Stone
Was Taken From Persia to RUSSIA.

A Story of the Way the Orion Stone
Was Taken From Persia to Russia.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Gus Fox, a dealer in diamonds on 4th
street. has story about the famous Orion
diamond, named after Count Orloff. the
nrst European who bought it. Fox saws:
1T was originally the eye of an idol In
Trichlnopol. 1t was stolen, according to
the accepted account, by Frenchman.
VINO escaped with it to Persia, where he
sold it for the equivalent in our money of
$sOo TO Jewish merchant.
The Jewish merchant sold it to an Ar
menian named Shafras. who had travelled
IN Russia. and conceived the idea of tax
ing the diamond to that country and selling
IL 10 me Empress Catherine for q great
sum Shafras paid him 10000 for it,
Having secured the stone, the next uues-
Ton with ShafraS was how to get II to
RUSSIA, or rather how to conceal it when he
was searched by robbers as he was sure to
De on the road. The journey was a long
ana perlious one, and thieves abounded
everywhere. Shafras thought of swallow
Ing the stone when he should be taken nv
the robbers. but was Obliged to give tbot
plan up, as the diamond was too large to
swallow. &c ~
He began to feel he had a white elephant
on his hands, when a thought occurred to
him. He procured a sharp lance. made a
cut in the feshy part of his left leg and
thrust the diamond into the wound He
sewed up the cut with needle and a silver
Wire II healed leaving the diamond i'm
hedded fast in the leg, quite out of sight.
Then he started for Russia On the v-ay

ana was thoroughly searched. Being an Ar
menian, and suspected of going to Russia
to trade. the thieves maryeIed greatly q :
hndins nothing of value upon his person.
He arrived in Russia at last, and. after
extracting his diamond, visited the empress.
He was willing to sell it for about s15O ono
but the empress had not so large an
amount IN cash for the purchase, and Sha-
1ras preferred to go on to Amsterdam the
seat of the diamond-cutting industry, where
ne had the stone polished
Here Count Orloff. an extremely wealthy
russian, saw the diamond, and was filed
with determination to secure 1t for the
RUSSIAN crown. He did secure it, but Sha-
1ras exacted from the Russian government

nobility He died millionaire.
The Orion diamond weighs 1876 carats.
