BETTER THAN SAVINGS BANKS.

BETTER THAN SAVINGS BANKS.
 It is a duty of every young man, married or single, if in the enjoy ment of good health and is in em- ployment, to save a portion of his earnings. Savings banks and build ing and loan associations afford ex- cellent opportunities for this, but greater opportunities than these are frequently offered in the way of in vestments, if the young man pos sesses the good business judgment to take advantage of them. There can be no safer investment made than the purchase of real estate in a prosperous and growing town. Just at the present time such an oppor- tunity is presented in Phenix. The capitol addition thers, consisting of a large number of lots, is now being offered for safe, on very easy terms. By making a small cash payment purchasers can pay the balance in monthly installments. The conss struction of the capitol building thls summer IS sure to enhance the value of these lots. so that while the purchaser is paying for them they will be growing in value. The owner of these lots is offering them at the old price and intending Pur- chasers should make their selection at once so as to get first choice snd avoid payIng an advanced price. There are hundIeds of miners as well as men and women in other oc- equations in this county, who could spare few dollars every month and by investing in these lots could thus save a "nest egg" for the future.

CHAPTER XXXV.-(Continued.)
They had seen nothing of John
Blantyre since his abrupt dismissal.
The earl had been told that he had
left Mere Cottage, but that he was liv-
ing at Court Raven. That piece OF in
telligence did not trouble him; the un-
just steward was part and parcel of the
pasta past he was beginning to think
of with regret Nevertheless, John
Blantyre lived only for his revenge.
Autumn came with it's golden wheat,
its ripe fruit, its gorgeous beauty of
coloring. The spirit of Improvement
was at work at Ravensmere; al
ready the obnoxious cottages had
disappeared, and in their places
clean, healthy, well-drained dwelling
houses were springing up. Lady Cara
ven worked hard, allowing herself lit
tie rest, and the earl was filled with
wonder at her systematic method.
They worked together. She made
their duties so pleasant to him that he
ed them. Husband and wife became,
as the earl said, good companions, good
friends. They had many interests now
in common-the Improvement of the
estate, the building of model cottages,
the education of the young, the relief
of the aged and distressed. With
thoughtful look in his blue eyes the
earl would sometimes say to his wife:

Ignorance OF easily ascertainable
scientific facts is, however, common
enough, as is often illustrated by the

as nicotine, though in reality this is

dition, something like the tarry matter
which soils a smokers fingers or
handkerchief through which tobacco
smoke is exhaled, or is often noticed

This tarry deposit has nothing es-
Sential in common with nicotine, and
contains but traces of this alkaloid,
when any at all.

According to government reports the
mortality of farm animals, both from
exposure and from other causes has
been below that Of the preceding win
ter; of horses per cent are reported
as having died from disease, against
81 per cent the previous year; OF cat
tie, mortality of 1.3 per cent from
winter exposure. and OF 3.3 per cent
from all causes Is reported, as against
1.6 per cent from exposure and 3.5 per
cent from all causes the preceding win
ter; of sheep the deaths from exposure
amounted to 81 per cent, against 3.2
per cent the previous year and to SO
per cent from all causes, against So
per cent the previous year. While hog
cholera has been more or less destruc-
tive, the total losses of swine have
amounted only to 9.3 per cent, against
144 per cent the preceding year. With
regard to farm animals in general the
department correspondents report them
in good condition as the result of the
generally mild and dry winter and the
abundance of feed. In California the
winter has been a severe one, and its
effect is shown just as markedly in the
mortality of farm animals as in the
poor condition Of winter wheat.

the distant West, but in the state of
Maine, where, we may add.-tnanks to
the labors of just such devoted men,
there are now about twenty-five thou
sand Christians of his communion.

A CATS wHlMs.

She Insists Upon Having Her Own Way
in Everything.
In st. Nicholas there is an account of
an Angora cat named "Pussinella,"
who belongs to little Italian girl, the
daughter of one of King Humbert's
aides. The cat was born in the OUR
inal, and was gift to the little girl
from Queen Marguerite. The writer
says: Pussinella's every whim and
humor are considered, and she has
many, especially about her eating; no
princess was ever half so fastidious or
exacting. or gave so much trouble by
her capricious appetite. One day she
will have only cooked meat, another
only raw, still another none at all, but
only fowl or BIRDS In Genoa, she had
her own particular corner in the din
ing-room, with little carpet ON which
her plate was set; but she did not al
ways eat there-no, indeed! II the
day was bright and sunny, she prefer
red the terrace, or the drawing-room,
as her mood might be. She would
walk ahead, looking back to see If she
were being followed, until she got to
the spot where she wished her meal,
and there she would stop. She was al
ways obeyed as respectfully as any
royal queen, for her commands were
usually enforced by such frantic cries
or ominous growls, that all feared to
gainsay her, or preferred to keep the
peace. The kitchen was in the upper
story of the house. and when Pussinel-
la wished anything extra to eat, she
would go upstairs to the door, put her
head in and new, and then turn and
walk down, while the cook followed
with the food. The kitchen was no
place for SO noble lady to take her
meals! l have seen five plates of diff
ferent meats brought one after another
before she could find what suited her
taste. / often wondered that the cook
was SO good and patient, but he ad-
mired her beauty and he feared her
claws, SO the result was complete ODE
dience to her every whim.
