tor found in an old tin box among Mrs. Rossiter's effects two marriage cer- tificates. One, the latest, pronounced her the wife of James Rossiter, whom she had wed six years before the baby was born. The other was ten years older. It had been issued by a minis ter in small town of New York, and by it the woman had become the wife of a man named Correll.
 This was news, indeed, to the deni- zens of Water Hollow, and they at once speculated what had become of her first husband. By the time they had found something else to talk about Baby Bee was forgotten, so far as they were concerned.
 Slowly the little girl grew, tenderly cared for by Number Six, who had be- come deeply attached to her, and could not endure to have her out of her sight. Several opportunities presented themselves for Bees adoption, but Liz gle Macready objected. She could not bear to think of separation from the little waif whose life, like hers, seemed cast in lonely paths. But there came a time when even Lizzie could no longer expect to retain control of Bee Rossiter. A childless couple had come to summer at neighboring resort in the Green Mountains, and while on their Journey visited the orphanage. They had long ago decided to adopt

Ex-Senator Reagan, Who Was Mem
 Der of Jefferson Davis' Cabinet.
 John Henninger Reagan, nearly the last living distinguished Confederate, is a gentleman of the old school with modern ideas. He is nearly 80 years old. He was born in Tennessee. As a boy he chopped wood and drove flat boat. AS young man in the Texan war against the Cherokee Indians he was the favorite of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston. Before he was 30 he was a surveyor in Indian Territory. He was admitted to the bar in 1S4S and became a probate judge. Later Texas sent him to the Legislature, and then he was elected district judge. He was first sent to Congress in 1856. Four years later he aided in the secession of Texas and became member of the cabinet of Jefferson Davis-postmaste general and secretary of the treasury. AS a prisoner of war he was confined at Fort Warren. During the reconstruction period he was the adviser of Andrew Johnson and Secretary Seward. Texas sent him to Congress again in 1874, and made him a United States Senator in 1887. With Senator CullOm he drew the interstate commerce bill. In the Senate he was a member of the Coast Defense Committee. Since 1891 be has been chairman of the State Railway Commission of Texas. He is a Demo crat. His work in the United States

A Wise Answer.

It takes but an ordinary man to re- turn an angry answer to an insult The extraordinary man is he who, under such circumstances, holds himself so we'll under control that he controls his adversary also.
 Persia once possessed such a man and was clear sighted enough to make him judge. He was the chief judge of Bagdad in the reign of Caliph Hadee. and his name was Aboo Yusuph. He was a very wise man, for he knew his own deficiencies and was actually sometimes in doubt as to whether he possessed sufficient wisdom to give a just decision in cases peculiarly shroud- ed in mystery.
 It is related of him that on one occa- sion. after patient investigation of facts, he decided that he had not sufficient knowledge to pronounce on the case be- fore him. There was in his presence a pert courier, one of those men who take long to learn that wisdom and im- pudence are not closely related
 ''Pray, do you expect that the ca'iph is to pay you for ignorance?" he asked, hoping to place the judge at disad- vantage.
 ''I do not" was the mild reply. ''The caliph pays me-and pays me we'll flor what I do know. Were he to att tempt to pay me for what 1 do not know the treasures of his empire would not suffice. ''-Youth's Companion.

The late Edouard Remenyi appears to have been the ''discoverer" of Jo- hannes Brahms, who was a boy of l9 when the Hungarian violinist found him in Hamburg in 1858 They went on a concert tour, so the story goes. and fetched up at Weimar almost pen niless. Liszt invited Remenyi to stay at the Altenburg

A Mountaineer Who Highly Appreciated
 Really Good Cooking. Asa rule the mountaineer of Ken lucky IS not gastronomie connoisseur, and the visitor at his table is quite as likely to hear dried apples referred to as fruit as he is to find any other kind of fruit on the table. Occasionally, however. one of them is sufficiently for tunate to get away from his businesses, and living temporarily down in the blue grass has an opportunity to acquire some virtues not otherwise obtainable. It was such a one I caught up with one morning in June along the ridge of the Cumberlands.
 'I'm looking for a place" said after a few preliminaries, "where can stop for week or so while l look up some timber I have in this neighbor- hood. Do you know of any?"
 tThere ain't much uv that sort eround here," he replied, "exceptin you go to Mount Pleasant, an reckon that's too fer. But hol' on," he broke in with sudden thought, "thar's the Widder Tackett. She axed me yistidy to see some uv you folks at the mill and tell lem she had place to sleep and eat two CT three men eff they wuzn't too pertickler. "
 "Is it a pretty good place?'' I in quired thoughtlessly.
 The young man s face flushed.
 "WeH, I reckon" he said with some emphasis. "She's goin to be my moth erin law come next September. 7"
 "Oh, I beg your pardon, hastened to explain. 'I only asked to know if she had good eating. Some of that we get in private houses even in the cities, you know, is not the best in the world. !"
 "Cities be derned," he said with a fine feeling. "Yer ain't never tried the Widder Tackett's pie yet, mister, an yer want to keep still till yer do. Ain't nothin like it nowhere, no matter what kind nv pie she sets afore yer. It's all ne plusibus unum, an no mis- take. Why. Pm tellin you that I sot down to one uv her pies last week, dern eff I recomember what kind it wuz, ef ever knowed, an I wuz eatin right into it like hot shovel goin into a snow pile, an Bill Rogers acrost the table frum me called me liar, an l never said dern word to him tell I had plum ct my pie and got my teeth picked. Dern my buttons eff did, colo nel."
 I did not like to inquire further into the mystery of what happened to MT. Rogers after the last taste of the pie was safely housed by my informant, but I made a fair guess and went OF To see the Widow Tackett concerning board and lodging for one man for one week. Washington Star.

HOW CYCLONES FORM.
Started by Heated Air of the Tropics
 and Spinning Like a Top.

Started by Heated Air of the Tropics
 and Spinning Like Top.
 Lieut.. John NJ. Ellicott, U. S. N, con- tributes to the St. Nicholas an article on ''The Cradle of Cyclones" Lieut.. Ellicott says: To get an idea of a cy- clOne's formation, imagine a large cir cular pan or tub with quite large hole In the middle of its bottom. With this hole plugged, fill the vessel with water; then draw out the plug, and watch. Ihere is first a rush of water from all directions toward the hole, and a tur- bulent effort to get through. Then the water surface above begins to sink and swirl, the particles gradually circling around and around, and rushing, ever faster, toward the center. At last there Is actually hollow space through the center, around which all the water in the tub is whirling, sluggishly near the rim, but with more and more violent rushes downward through the bottom. Now, if that water were air, you would be watching little cyclone turned up- side down, for the air rushes upward instead of downward.
 In the cradle of cyclones during the summer months, when the land and the water grow hotter and hotter because of the longer days and nights, layer of air, hot, light and full of vapor, is for time held down by denser air oh fTIn 111I- tuous, 1t moves about like a beast at bay until a thinner place in the air above Is found. Then up it madly rushes, and into the vacuum left behind the lower atmosphere hastens from all directions, pushing and twisting and pouring upward until it has fallen into a regular spinning around a common center. The cyclone, once formed, rushes away from the tropics toward the pole, and begins its career of de- struction, bruising, wrecking, and sink ing the luckless ships which happen to be in its path. More and more of the surrounding atmosphere is drawn into the whirl, until the storm often covers an area nearly a thousand miles in diameter. Sometimes it filings itself upon our Atlantic coast, and tears fiercely through forests, fields and cities. Then again 1t sweeps away across the broad ocean, and dashes itself upon the coasts of Europe Once in while it so adroitly avoids the land that we never know 1t has passed until ships come in torn and broken.

A Fascinating Stranger.

"A Worcester man, says the Worces- ter Gazette, "who makes frequent trips to Europe fell in with a fascinat- ing stranger the last time he was across. The stranger, who may be designated as Ferguson because that does not sound at all like his real name, was an American, his manners were those of gentleman, and he seemed to be well supplied with money and to know great many people worth knowing. In conversation with the Worcester man one day Ferguson said: Worcester is charming city, and 1 have some very dear friends there. Ipresume you know Colonel E. J. Russell? He is an old and highly esteemed friend, to whom l am deeply indebted for many favors.
 "When the Worcester man returned home, he met Colonel Russell one day and in course of conversation remarked that he had met man in Europe who said that he was an old friend. Colonel Russell thought for moment, and then he replied: 'Oh, yes, I remember Fer guson very welll ought to, for he lived with me: for seven years once It was when 1 was warden of the state prison at Charlestown, and 1 will say that Ferguson was one of the quietest and best behaved prisoners that ever had '

PREHISTORIC CELTIC VILLAGE.
severa1 Valuable Discoveries Made
 the Past Season.

] the Past Season.
 The site of the prehistoric Celtic vil- lage near Glastonbury has been further pxcavated under the superintendence of the discoverer, Arthur Bulleid. The sites of the dwellings are marked by mounds. One of these contained the greatest depth of clay yer found, no less than nine feet, the accumulation of successive hearts, which were found necessary as the weight of the clay gradually compressed the peat under heath. This mound contained 300 tons of clay, all of which must have been brought in their boats by the inhabi- tants from the neighboring hills. Un- der the mound was found the frame work of a loom with brushwOod and wattlework to form the foundation. That the inhabitants were much en- gagged in spinning is clear from the fact that in addition to other things con- nected with the craft no fewer than forty horn and bone carding combs have been unearthed. Strangely enough, no two of these are exactly of the same pattern. As in previous sea- sons large number of bone articles have been discovered. The number of broken bone needles and splinters of bone found in one mound seem to in- 1icate that it was utilized as a needle factory.
 Another mound was very rich in frag- mentS of pottery and other evidences of the manufacture of hardware No few er than ten bronze fibulae were found, these being fashioned almost exactly like the modern safety pin. Two bronze studs, probably part of harness or for fastening clothing, were also found, together with otlier small bronze arti- cles. A neatly cut iron file about eight inches long was found. AS usual, very few human remains were discovered, part of the skeleton of a very young child being all that was brought to light this summer. With the exception of the cracked skulls of few unfor- tunate warriors the remains of very young children have chiefly been found In past years, MT. Bulleid being of the opinion that these primitive people conveyed their dead te the neighboring hills for interment.
 Parts of three broken millstones were unearthed and in one mound clay oven, measuring ? feet by 9 inches. One glass article only was brought to light this year, blue glass bead with wavy line of dark blue running round 1t. Altogether the seasons work has proved very interesting and the British association is so we'll satisfied with the discoveries made from time to time at their Toronto meetings they renewed heir grant toward the excavation fund.

In 171S an EngliShman, James Puckle
 secured a British patent for what seems to have been an attempt at a breech-loading, rapid-fring gun. An original feature of the invention was the use of two different breech-plates. one for square bullets, to be used against the Turks, and the other for round bullets to be used against Chris. tians. It is curious to find two oppos. ing tendencies in the same invention: (1) the desire to construct a gun that should be more effective because more destructive, and @ desire to recog- nize certain ethical distinctions in its use. If a round bullet was too good for Turk, a square one was too bad for Christian. These two tendencies. enc operating to make war more de- structive and the other to mitigate Its harshness, are struggling for pre- emf: hence to-day as they have been for cen turies. War is an evidence of the i'm. perfection of modern civilization. But if we seek proof of the development of the humane sentiment, and of the eX- tension of the sphere of ethics to un- ethical relations, we may find it in the arts of war as surely as in the arts of peace. The introduction of new and powerful explosives and of guns of enormous power and range, the appli- cation of electricity to submarine mines, the construction of modern bat tle-ships and torpedo-boats, the i'm provements in long-range rifles and rap
 id-firing guns, and many other .nven
 tions, invest the whole enginery of war to-day with a terrible destructiveuess. The serious student of ethics, not to speak of the cynic, may well ask whether the development of philan- thropy, in mitigating the hardships of war, has kept pace with these destruct- i've tendencies, and whether ethics might not be better employed in dis couraging such inventions than in pal Hating their effects. But, without spec ulating on our distance from the mil lennium, 1t Is a fact that the sense of obligation between nations and the recognition of duties to civilization and humanity have made such progress that war cannot wholly abrogate them

child, and glance at little Bee satis- fled them that she was just what they wanted. The bargain was made and 1t was agreed that Bee should be sent to them few days before their sum- mer sOjourn came to an end.
 From that time on Number Six was a changed being. She pined and fret ted, as the day drew near that would separate her from the little girl, and Aunt Sanders was more than once com pelled to call in the house physician to administer to her niece.
 The girl, who had tasted all the bit terness of an orphaned life, clung to the motherless child with all the vehemency of first love. Night and day she prayed that something might interfere to let her keep the girl little longer.
 And the unexpected happened. A stranger alighted one day from the sin gle-horse fly, which piled between the railway station and the best hotel in town. He was a handsome, prosper ous-looking man. His clothes and the

It is not to be expected that the United States will be able to emefge from the war with Spain without being made the target for demands of in- demnity from different governments instigated by subjects who think they have sustained losses for which this country can be held responsible. When these demands are made they wiT doubtless receive respectful considera- tion and if founded upon just cause will be either adjusted by the federal authorities or referred to some mutu- ally acceptable referee. Yet it is cer- tainly premature for the German gov ernment to call upon the United States to reimburse German firms at Manila who think they have been injured by the part played by the Dewey fleet in the eastern waters. While the war has doubtless entailed loss upon a great many people the responsibility for the war rests as much if not more upon Spain than upon the United States. When it comes to locating responsi- bility the nations of Europe that en- couraged Spain in its foolhardy course cannot secure a complete exoneration, and must find themselves in peculiar position If they attempt to press claims for incidental damages on behalf of their citizens. While the people of the United States will not be disposed to shirk any just obligation incurred through the war they will certainly refuse to countenance anything that sa- vors of trumped-up claims for indem. nifty by nations not parties to the con f1ict

The Springfield rifles carried by the United States army are subjected to a great deal of abuse on account of the smoke turned loose when they are fired. But smokeless powder can be used in the cartridges of the old Spring fields as we'll as in the Mausers and Krag-Jorgensens, and now 1t Is stated that the War department has ordered the use of smokeless powder in the flu ture. The American soldiers ought to have smokeless powder, but they have demonstrated that they can win vic tories with the old-fashioned kind.

One of the Spanish officers taken pris- oner in the naval battle of Santiago ex- pressed surprise at the accuracy, rapid ity and deadliness of the American gum nery When told that 1t was the GUS tom of the American navy to exercise the crews at frequent intervals with battery practice the same as in war, his response was that 1t must cost a tremendous sum of money and be a great waste of powder. Most assured ly 1t costs a large sum of money, but that preliminary cost saves a still greater one. Spain spared expense in training her seamen to shoot, with the result that when they were forced to do battle they were utterly unskilled and incompetent, and in the end have cost Spain almost hundred times as much as the most liberal outlay. for target practice would have amounted to. We spared no expense for target practice, and when 1t came to hard
