THE WOUNDED ANTELoPE.-"The


stricken deer fees from the herd"
The term is supposed to be poetical,
and may be So; but does any one
know why the deer runs away?
A good many years ago, when Den
yer was a huddle of shanties and the
overland stage was in its glory, the
writer of these lines was crossing what
was then represented on the school
maps as "The Great American Desert"
1t was very early in the morning and
light, though the sun had not yet ris-
en-, when the wagons started. Soon
the leader stopped in silence, and
everyone saw on an eminence, or "roll,"
a splendid antelope, standing and look
ing at the wagons as though surprised.
Not sound was made on either side
until the silence was broken by the
sharp crack of rifle. The antelope
fell, but only for an instant, and then
bounded away. Arrived at the place
where he fell, a little blood was noticed
and, rising the "roll," the stricken
deer was seen making his way not
from, but to the herd, some 400 in
number. Then was seen a rather curl
ous sight in the early light. Catching
sight of the wagons, the whole herd
started off at smart pace, but not at
panic gait. The wounded animal
had reached the herd, but was not
wanted; for two or three bucks made
for him, and as long as we watched
them chased and horned the poor ami
NAL until, presumably, he fell dead, a
feast for the coyotes. For some rea-
son peculiar to antelopes, they wanted
no stricken deer" about and wouldn't
have one.-Homeopathic Envoy.

CHAPTER XVIII.

The SUN is not an hour high, but the
bivouao at the springs is far behind.
With advance guard and fankers well
out, the regiment is tramplng its way,
full of eagerness and spirit. The men
can hardly refrain from bursting into
song, but although at route STEP the
fact that Indian scouts have already
been sighted scurrying from bluff to
bluff is sufficient to warn all hands to
be silent and alert Wilton, with his
company, is on the dangerous flank and
guards it we'll Armitage, with Com
pany B, covers the advance, and his
men are strung out in long skirmish
line across the trail wherever the ground
is sufficiently open to admit Of deploy-
ment. Where it is not, they spring
ahead and explore every point where
Indian may lurk and render ambuscade
Of the main column impossible. With
Armitage is Mcleod, the cavalry SER
geant who made the night ride with
the scout who bore the dispatches. The
scout has galloped on toward the railway
with news Of the rescue; the sergeant
guides the infantry reinforcement
Observant men have noted that Armi-
tage and the sergeant have had vast
deal to say to each other during the
chill hours of the early morn. Others
have noted that at the first brief halt
the captain rode back, called Colonel
Maynard to one'side and spoke to him
In low tones The colonel was seen to
start with astonishmeut Then: he said
"a few words to his second in command
and rode forward with Armitage to join
the advance. When the regiment moved
On again and the head Of column hove
In sight of the administers, they saw
that the colonel, Armitage and the SER
,geant Of cavalry were riding side by
side, and that the officers were paying

close attention to all the dragoon was
saying All were eager to hear the par
ticulars Of the condition of affairs at the
corral, and all were disposed to be en-
vious Of the mounted captain who could
ride alongside the one participant in the
rescuing charge and get it all at first
hand. The field officers, Of course, were
mounted, but every line officer marched
afoot with his men, except that three
horses had been picked up at the rail-
way and impressed by the quartermaster
In case Of need, and these were assigned
to the captains who happened to COM
mand the skirmishers and flankers.
But no man had the faintest idea
what manner Of story that tall sergeant
was telling. It would have been Of in
terest to every soldier in the command,
but to no one 30 much so as to the two
who were his absorbed listeners. Armi-
tage, before their early march, had
frankly and briefly set before him his
suspicious as to the case and the trouble
in which Miss Renwick was involved
No time was to be lost Any moment
might find them plunged IN fierce bat
tie, and who could foretell the results,
who could say what might happen
to prevent this her vindication ever
reaching the ears Of her accusers? Some
men wondered why it was that Colonel
Maynard sent his compliments to Cap
tain Chester and begged that at the next
halt he would join him. The halt did
not come for a long hour, and when it
did come it was very brief, but Chester
received another message and went for
ward to find his colonel sitting in lit
tie grove with the cavalryman while the
orderly held their horses short space
away. Armitage had gone forward to
his advance, and Chester showed no sur
prise at the sight Of the sergeant seated
side by side with the colonel and in con-
fidential converse with him. There was
quaint sly twinkle in Maynard's eyes
as he greeted his old friend.
Chester, said he, "Iwant you to be
better acquainted with my stepson, Mr..
Renwick. He has an apology to make to
you"
The tall soldier had risen the instant
he caught sight of the newcomer, and

mel would relax in no degree his soldier

RAILWAYS IN CHINA.

10 at LAST to he Open.
Several railways are at last about to
be built in China, according to a re-
cent Peking Gazette. One line is to con.
meet Peking with Tien-Tsin. It will
he about so miles long, and constructed
entirely with government funds.
Another road is to run across central
China from Peking to Hankow. Tho
emperor has decided that the railroad
will stimulate trade in China, besides
giving employment to the masses Of
the people, and 10 will give it all the
support in his power.
A third line is to be built from Shang-
hal to Soochow. This road, although
it will only be about 65 miles long, is
expected to accomplish great deal by
opening up the province Of Kangsu.
The viceroy Of Nanking has always
strongly opposed all railroad projects
in China, but is now enthusiastic over
the enterprise, and offers to provide
half the cost out of the official treasury,
and urges his people to subscribe for
shares for the remainder.
Surveys are now being made, and the
work will probably soon be under way.

PORTABLE HOUSES.

Asde for Great Variety Of Uses sad
Exported to Other Lands.
Portable houses are made of almost
any size and for q great variety of uses,
says the New York Sun. There arc
portable dwelling-houses and portable
boat-houses, and portable barracks, and
portable clubhouses, lawn pavillions,
engineers, miners, contractor and
other Offices, bathing-houses, stables,
bowling alleys, billiard-rooms, hospi-
tails and SO on. There have lately been
made two-story portable houses. A
two-story portable house Of ten rooms

can be bought for $50; with two cots,
two tables and two stools, for $50.
Sometimes a man who owns q port
able house hires land on the seashore or
In the mountains and sets his house up
there for a season, takes it down and
stores it in the fall, and next season
hires land in another place and sets his
house up there. 4.
Portable houses are set on stones or
blocks, and on posts, and sometimes
they are set on permanent foundations.
People sometimes have chimneys built
where they set up their houses. The
portable house manufacturers sell terra
Gotta chimneys in sections to be stacked
up, and it is not unusual for the house
owner simply to run out stovepipe for
a chimney.
We export portable houses to Cuba,
South America and South Africa.

JAPAN's MONOPOLY,
Al the World Must Now Go to Her lse
#& CAmnhnr i

Al the world Must Now Go to Her sss
Camphor. I
One Of the unconsidered trifles that
the mikado has picked up a. the result
Of the Chinese war is the monopoly Of
camphor, says the Indian Agriculturist.
That drug is produced only in Japan
and Formosa, and, though variety
known as Borneo camphor is obtained
from Borneo and Sumatra, II cannot
compete with the product Of the ever
green laurel Of the eastern Asiatic
islands. Inasmuch as camphor, apart
from its many and varied therapeutic
uses, is an essential ingredient in the
composition Of nearly all the new ex-
plosives, the demand for it is very large.
The Japanese are well aware Of the
valuable monopoly they have blunderea
upon rather than sought and have al
ready begun to limit the export by i'm
posing duties. AS natural conse-
quence, the price Of the drug has risen
rapidly since the war came to an end
and bids fair to rise higher. Happily,
the commercial instinct Of the japanese
statesmen is as sound as their political
instinct, and they are not likely to abuse
the monopoly they have acquired by
forcing the price up to prohibitive rates.
The chief concern of the japanese
government will, for some time to come,
be the finding Of money to pay for the
ships and munitions of war which will
secure the mikado in the possession Of
the spoils he has already won. Proper
" handled and wisely administered,
camphor should prove valuable source
Of revenue and contribute a handsome
quota toward the cost Of the military
preparations which pertain to the peace
Of the dragon kingdom.

THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
ON FOOD AND DIGESTION.

The real cause of most of our diseases is
simply an inability to digest food. This in
duces thinness, weakness, loss of flesh and
fat, loss of vitality, wasting away.
Loss of flesh and vitality means constant
liability TO sickness. Wasting away is con-
sumption.
If getting thin is what ails you, there is
only one thing to do-get fat. The only way
to do it is to take something which will help
your stomach and stimulate it to do its
work.
If you are tired out you do not like to
move your legs or arms If your stomach
is tired it does not like to digest; it cannot
do its work.
To eat, or even to eat with relish does not
necessarily mean that one is being
nourished Strength, vitality and flesh aer
the true indications.
Getting thin is sign that you need the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. You would not be
getting thin if you could digest your food.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only con-
tains artificialIy digested food, but it will
digest other foods in the stomach.
A single 10 cent bottle will show whether
or not it is going to meet the conditions of
your case, and if SO, its continued use may
be depended ON to effect cure. All drug
gists keep it in stock.

GOTHAM'S BACK YARDS.
Being Converted Into Dining Rooms or
Used as Smoking Dens.

ObCO do GAAOhAnfS 1cHHs
In these days, when every inch of ground
in New York city is of Use and value, back
yards are assuming an unwonted impor-
lance. No longer will it be possible for
enthusiastic citizens to write most learned
and aggravating articles as to the posi-
bilities of raising several hundred varieties
of grass not to mention rare flowers, in
the narrow confines of an ordinary sized
back yard, and even now the back rooms
sre no longer considered desirable on &C.
count of the view
Some few years since, when Mr.. and
Mrs. Bradley Martin gave ball to intro
duce their daughter, now the Countess of
Craven, they found even their spacious res
idence all too small to accommodate the
guests they wished to invite. Over their
yards-and the adjacent one as well-a
ballroom was erected, which was so clever
~ planned and decorated that it won the
unanimous praise of every one. This set
the fashion going.
There is no doubt that dining is mat
ter of more and more importance all the
time to all Americans Not only are more
of the Injuries of the table within reach
of moderate income, but every delicaoy
in and out of season is to be had in our
markets. The art Of cooking is more re-
spected than it was A more finished SER
vice is demanded than was formerly the
case, and in every way the pleasures of
dining are more thought Of
1t follows as matter of course that din
ing rooms are more looked after and their
furnishings are more carefully planned.
In an ordinary sized city house a good
sized dining room is not always to be
found, and it is only recently that many
house owners have decided that they would
rather build over their back yards and sac
rifce them to handsome dining rooms.
Some charming, effective rooms have
been obtained in this way, and the proper
tions are always SO good as to delight the
individual who tries the experiment To
be sure, building up in this way may be a
little hard on the adjacent property owners,
but every man for himself must needs be
law in these fin de steele days, and if you
don't shut out somebody else's view you
may be assured your own will be taken
from you.-New York Press.

BENEFITS OF THE BATH.
Its Hygienic Value and Physical Pleasure
Told by DR.. Edison.

Its Hygienic Value and Physical Pleasure
Told by DR.. Edison.
"The hygienic value of the bath to peo-
pie in ordinary good health is very greatly
increased by most vigorous rubbing, !"
writes DR.. Cyrus Edison in discussing
when and How to Bathe' in The Ladies'
Home Journal with the flesh brushes
and gloves the rough Turkish towels and
other appliances-one of the most valuable
is the narrow band of toweling-this can
be administered with the greatest ease, and
1T should always be thorough--in fact, it
Is difficult to overdo Its effect is to stim-
ulate the reaction from the bath and bring
the vessels and nerves of the skin into q
healthy, vigorous condition. One of the
most valuable baths to those in whom the
organs of the lower part of the trunk arc
weak is the hip bath. In this the bathsr
is seated in the bath, and the water covers
the body as high as the waist If the wa
ter be cold--that is, if we desire to stinu-
lite the organs by the shock-a towel wet
with cold water must be folded turbanwise
on the head. The duration of the bath is
from IS to 20 minutes, and its effect is i'm
mediate.
The baths excite the vasomotor nerves of
the abdominal organs Their use should
be prescribed by physician. AS long as
the result Of bathing is not to weaken the
bather we can practically say person can
not, when in health, battle too much. /
have spoken Of the hygienic value of the
bath, but have said nothing of the phys
ical pleasure to be derived from it. Every
one knows the delicious feeling of cleanli-
Mesa the glow Of the skin and the genera.
sense of robust health which follow a good
bath. What is more delightful than tbs
exhilaration of a swim in salt waterf
These results are part of the experience
of all, but it must not be forgotten that in
these very physical pleasures there is dis
tinct hygienic effect"
