But she had already passed into the

He turned away. "Stop!" she said
faintly.
He turned back. Her expression had
again changed. Her face was deadly
pale; a strange tremor seemed to have
taken possession of her. She dropped

slightly forward; it seemed to him that
she would in the next moment have ex-

thing was quiet in the west, although
the enemy's lines along the ridge
seemed to have receded.
Brant had listened impatiently, for a
new idea had seized him. Hooker was
of the party, and was the one man in
the party in whom he could partly
confide and obtain n disguise. He at
once made his way to the commissary
wagons, one of which he knew Hooker
used as tent. Hastily telling him that
he wished to visit the pickets without
recognition, he induced him to lend
him his slouched hat and frock coat,
leaving with him his own distinguish
ing tunic, hat and sword. He resisted
the belt and pistols which Hooker would
have forced upon him. AS he left the
wagon he was half amusedly conscious
that his old companion was character
istically examining the garments he
had left behind with mingled admira-
ton and envy. But he did not know,
as he slipped out of the camp, that Mr..
Hooker was quietly trying them on, be-

A Crew Of Deaf Mutes.

The schooner Mary and Belle is prob ably the only vessel in the world that is manned by a crew that is deaf and dumb. The schooner is not a large vessel by any means, being about seventy feet long, but sEe is neat looking craft and her decks, spars and rigging look in much better condition than those of many other vessels whose crews can speak the language to the queens taste. The captain of this. craft, George Bennett, is a most intel igent-looking man, apparently fifty years old. He is alive to all that is go- ing on around him and seems to enjoy his silent and speeches. life. The "crew," Charlie Malone, is also deaf and dumb. These two deaf and dumb men manage the stanch schooner Mary and Belle admirably. They are always on the lookout and sleep with one eye open, as good sailors always should. When they are caught in heavy squalls the captain cannot shriek out his commands but simply at tracts his mans attention by a whistle and then tells him what he wants by signs, while he sticks to the wheel.

THE KEY TO SUCCESS.
It Pays to Put Things on the Market in
 Prime Conditiont

Prime Conditioni
 The farmer who is contented with average crops sold ill the average con- dition must expect only average prices. He who produces anything and puts it on the market in prime condition is the one who is going to make sales first and get top prices. The average man comes along later. No matter what you have to sell, put it in the best possible condition for market and see to it that you can adopt the same motto that we once saw ill barrel of ap- ples in the east When the head was taken out of that barrel there was ex posed printed slip which sad. This package was produced and packed by John Smith, who guarantees that when you see the top you see the whole" The commission man told us that he never had any trouble with anything that man sent in, for his rep utation had been made. He not only packed his fruit and vegetables in the best manner, but sorted the sizes, and when the package was opened the buyer knew just what to expect from top to bottom. We know farmer who takes his grain to market and dumps it wherever the buyer tells him to, and is then asked how many bush els he had. His grain is never looked at nor weighed by the man who has weighed it for years; if it is not in good condition he insists on inspection, but if he knows it is all right he un- loads and gets his pay. A reputation of that kind is worth more than good farm, for it brings a greater return. Honesty is not only the best policy but it is absolutely necessary to final sue cess. Carelessness is the costliest habit farmer can fall into, and trick cry, while it may seem to succeed for time, must cost more than it comes to in the nd-Connectlcut Farmer.

ARE BIRDS GUIDED BY STARS ?
An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
 of Bird Migration.

An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
 of Bird Migration.
 In an article on Birds of Passage" the Chautauquan says if one desires an explanation for the great mystery of bird migration, there being nothing else that will answer, he will have to accept the theory of hereditary knowl- edge, a knowledge of the unfailing stars The Great Bear and Orion ap- peared at the same time in our region, even when the divisions of land and water were very different than they are to-day. That the stars are the guides for birds agrees with the fact that they fly at remarkable heights, often above the clouds, and that wan derers lose their way when they stray into clouds and mists.
 On starlight nights struggling birds are seldom noticed. When the sky is overcast, when the night is dark, but especially when fine rain is falling, multitudes of travelling birds are heard. Then they call often, doubtless for the purpose of keeping near each other; and often great numbers of them bound against the windows of light houses. Thus Gatke has observed that on October 2s, 1882, from ten o'clock at night till the next morning golden crested wrens bumped like snowfakes against the lighthouse of Heligoland, and that on the following day golden crested wrens sat on every square foot of Heligoland.
 Toward the end of the summer, along into the fall, it was not rare occur renee on dark nights to see, through the light of street lamps, birds flying over inland cities. The experienced observer recognizes by it's call the cur lew and the strand-snipe, sea-swallow and seagull, occasionally hears even the flap of their wings. But no bird is visible in the darkness. On dark nights no stars appear; then it is that the stray ing bird loses his way. The stars are the most plausible guides to birds in their migrations. But only the future can tell us whether they really serve in that capacity.

LACK OF ORDER.
The Chinese Deficient in Military System
 and Discipline.

and Discipline.
 The Chinese are an untidy race, whose cities in their native country are frightfully unclean, and whose special quarters in our cities are apt to afford anxiety to boards of health. The Jap anese, on the contrary, are extremely cleanly, orderly and neat; and one of the stories told of Chinese soldiers in the present war tends to show that this difference has played no small part in determining victory or defeat.
 The Japanese are armed with mod ern weapons, of which they take ex- cellent care, and which they handle with skill and efficiency. A lady writ ing from China says that the Chinese troops are provided with curious va riety of European arms, obsolete, ancient and new; and that cartridges for perhaps twenty different makes are all served out together.
 In Manchuria she actually saw cart ridges piled carelessly on the ground, mot in boxes, but lying in great heaps like potatoes-long and short, fat and thin, all mixed together, and soldiers fitting them to their guns, trying them, and throwing away those which were too large or too small"'
 No wonder the Chinamen do not stand before the Japanese. As soon as the cartridges each man happens to carry are exhausted he can only de- pend on one chance in twenty of get ting any more that he can use. He sell dom waits that chance; he runs, and throws his useless rifle promptly away that he may run the aster.-London Spectator
