The Chicago Times-Herald explains
why the government should retire the
greenbacks. It's reason is that if the
greenbacks We're retired and the free
silverites should by any chance get
control, their power for mischief would
be curtailed. Not necessarily. They
could reissue the grcenhacks, or for
that matter 60 directly to silver
basis. This argument of our Chicago
contemporary is puerile.

Unquestionably equity is wholly on
the side of those complaining Mulberry

car tracks in front Of their holdings, are
assessed for paving as much for each

is no car track at all. The only fair

Measurements.

Multiply thelength, breadth and depth
in feet, and that product by four; cut
off the right hand figure, and those at
the left express the number of bushels
of corn if the ears were shelled. Add
one-half Of this amount and you will
have about the quantity Of bushels Of
vegetables in the same space. To meas
ure pile of wood, multiply the length
by the width, and that product by the
height, which will give the number Of
cubic feet. Divide the product by 12S
and the quotient will be the number of
cords. A standard cord Of wood, it
must be remembered, is four feet thick;
that is, the wood must be four feet long.
Farmers usually go by surface measure,
calling a pile Of stove wood eight feet
long and four feet high cord. Under
such circumstances thirty-two feet
would be the diyisor, says the western
PlOWman."

Young Trees Are Best.

The question is often asked: "Will
not the continued planting of peach
trees ruin the business?" Experts say
no. ''There are" says Central States
Fruit Grower, natural limitations on
the industry that will prevent this.
They are the extreme winters, frosts,
yellows, lack of cultivation, failure to
thin fruit, by which the tree overpro-
duces, poor fruit, and last, fact not
sufficiently known. viz: that the prof
table crops are the first seven. 1t is
better after tree has borne seven
annual crops to remove it, as business
investment, putting new tree in it's
place, rather than allow it to occupy
the ground or plant tree in some other
place and use this ground for other
things. A good many growers will
agree with this statement, but the best
fruit is from young trees, and the best
gets the money. 1t is not disputed that
the trees will continue to bear after the
first seven years, and many times with
profit, but If you are in business for
gain year in and year out, the above
holds good.''

He Deserved the Medal.

The Mayor of New York lately
awarded medal to William III. Behler,
| a fireman of that city, for his bravery
in reseuing a woman from burning
house. From the account of the affair
medal WAS well deserved.
The fire was in a tenement house
occupied by Italian families, and was
well under way when the fremen ar
rived Italians were rushing out, and
presently the cry went up that a Wom-
an and child had been left in one of the
rooms. A minute more, and the woman
appeared at a window with the baby i'm
her arms.
The Italians in the street dropped on
their knees to pray. No ladder was at
hand, and every instant was precious
Behler meantime had entered the next
house, and now made his appearance
at four-story window on level with
that at which the woman was standing.
She by this time was shrieking and
making ready to jump. The crowd
shouted to her to hold on, and then fell
to cheering Behler, as it was seen tina.
he meant to attempt a rescue.
With another man holding his legs,
he swung himself far out of the win
dow, took the child from it's mother,
and passed it to his companion. Now
came work much more difficult and
perilous. The woman was heavy, but
Behler's nerve did not fail him. Put
t;no himself into the best position DosSi-
BILE. he ordered her to swing toward
him. This she did, and he caught her
and so drew her into the window. II
he had overbalanced himself the result
would have been death for both Of
them.

There was a certain popularity in his
manner which made Anne glance at him
with surprise. She hardly knew how to
answer, but some inctinct made her rise
at once from her seat.

conversation" she said; "Mrs. Heron
must be ready by this time"

81 think it much better so. There IS
nothing to be gained by speaking.

said Eastlake, sadly, and he lifted his
hat as if to move away.

fingers to meet his. Twill you not believe

in his gentle tones, and then he clasped
her hand in his and laid his other hand
| upon it. 'Thank you for your kindness.
You could not be anything but kind. One
thing must say. I am afraid that can
not discontinue my visits to Mrs. Du-
maresqs without exciting remark. VIII

"Disagreeable? How should it be!'
she said, almost Indignantly. Then she
| blushed and said, you are very consid-
crate. Very few people would be so good.
You are thinking of my comfort, not OF
your own"
His anxiety to save her from remark
or annoyance led him to mask his emo
ton under an appearance of immovable
quietude. He did not quit the party, as
he would gladly have done, neither did he
absolutely avoid contact and speech with
Anne. She seconded him to the best of
| her ability, but she could not be perfectly
| natural and at her ease; and both Of them
| were glad and relieved when the party
broke up and rode back to Ramleh under
| the rays of the setting sun.

NoTAs POPULAR AS FORMERLY.
Billiard Playing No Longer the Vogue
in Good Society.

Billiard Playing No Longer the Vogue
in Good Society.
Billiards, delightful billiards, at once
the most fascinating and most health
full of indoor games, is on the decline.
No weak-lunged consumptive ever
needed the invigorating effects Of Pro-
fessor Koch's lymph more than this
sport requires new life injected into it.
Those who remember the history Of
billiards in this country during the last
thirty years view it's rapid decline with
sincere regret. They think of the old
days when enormous six-pocket pla-
teaus were used, and the transition
from them to the beautiful and elegant
carom tables now in use, with cushions
and bed that have been improved to
perfection, and wonder how the sport
can DECLINE They remember. the days
when Dudley Kavanagh and Michael
Phelan in their contest for champion
ship used four balls, and later, when
Albert GARNER and Maurice DAILY be-
came so expert with the four worries;
how, in order to have game, it was
necessary to remove a ball, and how
these men scored runs with three balls
that equaled Kavanagh's and Phelan's
best four-ban scores. Following close
to GARNER and DAILY came Sexton, Slos-
son, Schaefer and finally the present
champion, Ives. With these experts
three balls, without limitations, meant
simply an endless chain. Once set in
motion by the wizards cue, the balls
clicked and clicked and counted with
the tireless regularity of the clock.
To check these artists and to add
greater interest to the game, the eight
inch balk line was introduced. 1t was
thought that this would prevent the
railroading of the balls up and down
the cushion by the hour. but it failed
to accomplish the object. The balk
line was increased from time to time,
until now fourteen-inch line is used.
And when Mr.. Ives is after the balls it
seems as 1f the bafk line does not ex-
list.
With these great changes in the
game during the last thirty years came
it's popularity, and fifteen years ago it
was, with the exception Of baseball,
the most popular sport i'm this country
1t was then at it's highest point Of
popularity, and from that time to the
present the sport has declined.-Wash-
iffgton Post.

CHAPTER XII.

Lawrence's departure annoyed Mrs.
Dumaresq exceedingly. She had counted
with great confidence upon his proposing
to Anne; and she thought that Anne
would have given him favorable answer.
She tried to discover whether any such
proposal had been made, but could extract
nothing from Anne herself. Anne could
not give any reason for Mr.. Lawrence's
sudden determination to visit Cairo. She
had always heard that he intended doing
so sooner or later But she said nothing
about Lawrence's further plans. Even
he had not mentioned India to Mrs. Du-
maresq.
Anne looked paler than usual, but not
detected. Rather she was scrupulously
cheerful and easy to please. Mrs. Du-
maresu was treasured concerning her.
She was struck sometimes by pathetic
shadow under Anne's eyes, a saddened
droop of the corners of her lips when she
WAS silent But then Anne would look
mo and smile with all her accustomed
sweetness, or say something particularly
pleasant and gentle, and the previous leok
of sadness vanished like dream.
A large sketching party had been or
ganized for one Saturday in March. 1t
was a beautiful day; there were few
clouds in the sky, the sun was bright and
the air fresh; moreover, there were no
SIGNS of khamseen, or hot wind, past,
present or to come. Each member of the
party was mounted on a donkey and at
tended by "A grinning donkey boy. Sew
eraa servants were in attendance, carry
ing umbrellas, light chairs, drawing ma
terials and refreshments. They all dis
mounted when they came to the palm

they saw a soft-eNed buffalo bathing itself

Mrs. Heron went to find her own particu-
lar Arab, who had concealed her India
rubber somewhere about his person, and
forgotten to give it to her again, and Anne
was for time alone. She put down her
rencil, looked dreamiiy at the scene before
her and fell into reverie from which she
was only awakened by the sound of foot
step and the appearance of Mr.. Eastlake.
1sNrs. Heron sent me to look for you,
Miss Carteret,'' he said. ''They are going
to Iigsst a fire, boil some water and make
tea: i,wt she says you need not come just

How Thread Is Mum bered.

The numbers on the spools express
the number of "hanks' which can be
wound from a pound of thread. The
very finest spinning rarely exceeds 300
hanks to the pound, while in the very
coarsest there is about two hanks. The
more common qualities, however, those
from which sewing thread is usually
made, run from ten to seventy hanks to
the pound, and the spools on which 1t is
wound are numbered from 10 to 70 in
accordance.

it. No, Anne, I could not; if your dear
eyes looked into mine, and you, knowing
what know, said, with your dear voice,
Stay / would risk heaven and earth,
defy law, human and divine, with you.
But you will never do that, you sweet,
wise saint, with pure eyes and serious
brow; l think not even for loves sake
would you do that"
No wonder that Dr. Hughes found him
exhausted and listless next morning. Anne
came to read to him in the afternoon,
when he was comfortably established in
the drawing room. Her eyes were bright;
her face and voice serene. He looked at
her with curious mixture of remorse and
longing.
Three or four days passed by. The doc
tor declared him we'll enough to travel, if
it were necessary that he should do SO;
but his decision was not announced in
public. Lawrence had made it special
request that nothing should be said about
his departure until he himself had spok-
en- to Mrs. Dumaresq. And every day he
said that he would speak to her, and ev-
cry day he put off the decisive word until
the morrow.
1t was one evening in February that
Lawrence announced his final resolution.
He had taken his first walk outside the
garden, in company with Mr.. Dumaresq,
Harold and Anne. The fact that he and
Anne were great friends was universally
conceded, and neither Mr.. Dumaresq nor
Harold made much apology for starting
off to interfere in a dispute between some
Arab wagoners, whose carts were terri
bly, oyerladen, and whose horses were al
most sinking in the deep sand of the road.
Lawrence sat down to rest on great
square stone.
"How beautiful it isr' said Anne. "And
yet there is not much beauty in the coun-
try itself; it is the color that is SO lovely"
Lawrence stopped and picked up blue
flower that was growing at his feet. "How
like this is to the forget-me-not," he said.
Then he occupied himself in pulling it to
pieces and dropping it on the sand. II
won't ask you to take it as reminder of
me; it is not the true forget-me-not," he
said. Then, as she answered nothing, he
continued, in a lower tone: II do not want
you to remember me-"
'Not want me-to remember you?"
"No." His voice was very uncertain,
and he made long pauses as he spoke. Il
think of going to Cairo the day after to-
morrow-and I shall probably return by
way of Port Said and Ismalia-then I
shall go to India"
Lawrence dared not look at her. What
must she think of him now? He went
on with nervous fuency, supporting his
head between his hands: II have not told
Mrs. Dumaresq yet. But DR.. Hughes
says may CO."
He ventured to look at her. She was
still gazing at the sunset, and it's glow
was bright upon her face. Her hands
were clasped before her, and her attitude
was quiet and composed. Only, when the
sun sank and the crimson light had died
away, he saw that it had left her face as
pale as death.
