DEATH.

for his lost Rosalie ran in his heart like
delirum and he hated doubly this
woman whose arts had brought about
her death. Dimlt he was conscious OF
something that seemed a fire surging
to his brain, something from which a
temptation sprang, and then the en-
erald eyes of the silver snake looked
into his own, and Lachme's passion
lighted face faded from his gaze.
1t was but for moment, then half
strangled scream rang through the
room, an inarticulate cry of mortal
fear that, though it was wordless, yet
seemed to carry the refrain; at was

you"
The darkness cleared away and his
senses returned, for in paroxysm of
horror he sprang to his feet Lachme's
clasp had relaXed-she crouched upon
the floor, inert, helpless, dyiEg-yet
with her dark eyes to the last fixed upon
his face, and round her dusky neck
CLEANED the coils of the silver snake,
and he knew his hand had clasped it
there. He had used such force that
drops of blood We're falling from be
meath the scales where the poison-cov-
cred darts were hidden. 1t was his
hand that had brought about this
womans death even while she hal
caressed him, and frantic with horror
of what he had done he tore the snake
from her throat and flung it from him
into the smouldering fire.
In that last moment of her life sine
understood something OF his remoIse,
for he saw the death-dimmed eyes
brighten INTO n faint smile as they
looked into his; then from the Goals
where the snake writhed like a living
thing there came a flash Of blue fame.

darkness cleared away he knew that

The doctors found an explanation of
Roealie's awakening to life from the
brink of the grave: but, though the
world accepted it. it hardly satisfied
St. Lawrence. Generally it was said
that the poison concealed in the snake
was one of which minute quantity
will cause trance and slightly larger
amount inevitably produces instant
death. SO that though Lachme fell a VIC
tin to the awful thing from the force
with which it was clasped about her
throat, Resale escaped because. shrink
ing from the slight scratch the darts
inflicted. she tore the serpent almost
instantly from her arm.
But John St Lawrence has his own
opinion, and-though he never speaks
Of it--deep in his heart turks belief in
wild Indian magic, with the memory
of legend that tells how the sacrifice
of witch may bring the dead to life
None knew exactly how Lachme died,
for the story was hushed up and almost
forgotten by the time John ST. Law

months later.

Who Should Advertise,

Every one who has anything to sell,
whether it is the product of the head I,
brain or machine, and in cases where
those who wish to buy, or secure, or
exchange anything that they cannot
get conveniently, should advertise.
Advertising should be treated pre-
cisely as any other investment, and in
nine cases out Of ten it pays better
profit than anything for which money
is spent.
The best evidence that advertising
pays is the fact that millions of dollars
are invested in it by all sorts and
kinds OF trade and by the most sue
cessful business men IN the land. OF
course it pays.
No sensible man can believe that
successful business kolses advertise and
become extensive advertisers for the
fun of the thing. With them it is
business just as much as buying stock
or selling products.
There are certain principles of trade
that men ought not to ignore and
among them the principal one is reg
ular, legitimate and persistent adver-
tising.-Westt,n Stationer.

Comparative Value of Foods.

Prof. Atw.ter's exhaustive studies
and experiments have led him to the
conclusion that the greatest nutritive
value in any kind of food of the same
specific cost is to be found in corn
meal. He finds that in ten pounds of
the latter there are slightly over eight
pounds Of actual nutriment; in eight
and one-,hird pounds of wheat -four
there are over six and three -fourths
pounds of nutriment; in five pounds Of
white sugar there are four and one
half pounds of nutriment; in five
pounds of beans there are four pounds
of nu.riment; in twenty pounds of po-
tatoes there are three and three e-fourths
pounds of nutriment; in twenty-five
cents worth of tat salt pork there are
three and onehalf pounds of nutri-
ment; in the same value of wheat
bread there are two and one-fourth
pounds; in the neck of beef, one and
three -fourths; in skim milk cheese, the
same as the latter; in whole milk
cheese, a trifle more than one and one
half pounds; in smoked ham and leg
of mutton, about the same; in eggs at
twenty-five cents dozen, about seven
ounces, and in oysters at thirty-6ve
cents a quart, about three ounces.

DiOgenes' Man Found at Last.
From Toledo UniOn.I


BY some strange mischance an hon
est man broke into the United States
congress at the last election. He soon
found he was out of place and resigned
and his State (California) was the loser.
He was old d-fashioned-in fact,
thought he was there to serve his con-
stituents-and could not appreciate
modern methods of legislation. The
Associated Press and the United Press
ignored and ehectually smothered all
mention of his action and his ringing
speech. Even the ConsyessioaI Rec
oyd has no mention of the executive
session at which Congressman Mel
mand resigned. He concluded his
denunciation of the politicians as fol-
lows:
"Gentlemen, when | was elected to
this Congress | had high ideas OF
craftsmanship and duty to my coun-
try. for l had read of certain Ran
do!ph, Calhoun, Clay and Web
ster. But my resignation has been
given in. | have also read of Ananias
and Judas Iscariot. As look about
me, Mr.. Speaker, upon yourself and
this house, full of living lungs and
palsed consciences and fraudulent de-
signs on the Congressional Record,
am filled with gladness that 60 before
| myself get into the green goods way
When l am far away l shall think O
you, and the more l think OF you the
better | shall like Bill Dalton'

Patronize Those You Know.

Some people are so anxious to avoid
paying the home merchants legiti-
mate margin they readily believe any
fairy tale told them by slick-tongued
travelling frauds who are entire stran-
gers to them. Ninety-nine out Of
hundred of these "soft snaps offered
by these fellows are swindles. The
best plan is to patronize home mer-
chants. They help pay a very large
part of the taxes, help support the
churches, the schools, etc., and are
citizens among us. They are respon-
sble for the goods they sell. and could
be found at any time should anything
be wrong or the goods not as repre-
sented.-Erchange.

Woman's Capabilities.

A woman can do most anything
and do it we'll. She can say MOI and
stick to it. She can walk half the
night with sick baby in her arms
without wishing to murder the infant.
She can suffer abuse and neglect for
years, which one look of kindness will
drive from her recollection. She can
come home from church and tell what
every woman in the congregation had
on. Can look her husband square in
the eye when he tells her some story
about being detained at the Office
without betraying in the least that she
knows him to be a colossal liar. She
can do more in minute than a man
can do in an hour, and do it better.
Our women do not fish much. | sup
pose this is because they cannot tell
a lie.-J. A. Dyke.

SHORT THLKS ON ADVERTISING.
copyright by Charles Austin Bates.

tCOpyright by Charles Austin Bates.
Probably no other single sentence ever
hurt business SO much as the remark by
p. T. Barnum that "the American people
like to be humbugged."
You have heard half hundred people
say OF different stores: 81 will never go
there again. They are cheats. They ad-
vertised so-and-so. and when got there
they didn't have il, or il wasn't nearly
as good as they said it was in the adver
tisement."
If q pleased customer is the best of all
advertisements, isn't q displeased one
the worst? How often the opportunity
comes to say: "Oh, l wouldn't go there
again; why don't you 60 to Blank ?"
because the merchant believed Barnum.
And Barnum himself didn't really hum
bug people. His show was really "the
greatest on earth," and really gave u
great big fifty cents worth for half a
dollar. An occasional woolly horse or
white elephant, more or less, didn't mat
ter much. People went to Barnum to be
amused and he amused them. People go
to the theatre and if they are carried
away by the play and laugh and shed
tears over the Incidents they are ''hum-
bugged''-to be sure-they believefor the
time all the fiction of the play; it is real
to them. But how much more would
they be humbugged if the play didn't
seem real? If Rarnum advertised q
woolly horse, and then showed some
thing which could by no possible stretch
OF imagination deceive anybody, that
Wonld be humbug.

HOW THEY DIFFER.
Man a Creature of Habits, Woman
UtiIizes Anything That is Handy.

Man is a creature of cast iron habits;
woman adapts herselfto circumstances.
This is the foundation of the moral
difference between them.
A man does not attempt to drive a
nail unless he has a hammer; woman
does not hesitate to use anything,
from the heel of boot to the back of
a brush.
A man considers a corkscrew abso-
lutely necessary to open a bottle, a
woman attempts to extract the cork
with the scissors. If she does not sue
ceed readily she pushes the cork in the
bottle, since the essential thing is to
get at the fluid.
Shaving is the only use to which
man puts razor; woman employs it
for chiropodist's purposes.
When man writes everything must
be in apple pie order-pen, paper and
ink must be just SO, profound silence
must reign while he accomplishes this
important function. A woman gets
any sheet Of paper, tears it perhaps
from book or portfolio, sharpens
pencil with the scissors, puts the paper
on an old atlas, crosses her feet, bal
ances herself on her chair and conhdes
her thoughts to paper, changing from
pencil to pen and vice versa from time
to time, nor does she care if the chill
dren romp or the cook comes to speak
to her.
A man storms if the blotting paper
is not conveniently near; a woman
dries the ink by blowing on it, waving
the paper in the air or holding near a
lamp or fire.
A man drops letter unhesitatingly
in the box; woman re-reads the ad-
dress, assures herself that the envelope
is sealed, the stamp secure and then
throws it violently into the box.
A man can cut book only with a
paper cutter; a woman deftly inserts a
hairpin, and the book is cut.
For a man "goodby' signifies the
end of a conversation and the moment
of his departure; for woman it is the
beginning of a new chapter, for it is
just when they are taking leave Of each
other that women think of the most
important topics Of conversation.
A woman ransacks her brain trying
to mend a broken object; a man put:
it aside and forgets that for which
there is no remedy. Which is the su
perior?-LiRb entotts Magazine.
