1t is written that the term quarter
used in warfare, originated from an
agreement ancienrly made between the
Dutch and Spanlards, that the ransom
of a soldier taken in action should be
quarter OF his pay. Probably It meant

the expression was commonly used at
one time. As a modern warlike term,

And Its Queer History In Rim gin,

tory that attracts unusual attention or
account of the story connected with II
The bell itself is not much to look a.
but its story appeals 70 the better sid.
Of human nature.
Ii Is TO the effect that in one Of tn.
old cities Of Italy. many centuries ago
the King caused the bell to be hung In
tower in one Of the public squares
and called 1t the Bell of Justice" He
ommanded that anyone who had been
wrOnged should go and ring the bell,
and 50 call the magistrate and ask for
and receive Justice. In the course of
time the lower end OF the bell rope
rOtted away and a wild vine was tied
10 1t TO lengthen 1t. One stormy night
the inha abitants We're awakened by the
loud changing Of the bell. An old and
starving horse that had been abandoned
by its owner and turned out TO die wan
dered into the tower, and, In trying to
eat the vine. rang the bell.
The magistrate Of the city, coming to
see who demanded justice. found the
old starving horse. and he caused the
owner OF the animal IN whose service
he had toued and been worn out, to be
summoned before him. and decreed that
as his horse had rung the bell OF justice
he should have Justice. and that during
the horses life his owner should pro
vide for him proper food and drink and
stable.
Hon. John II. Starin, while travelling
In Italy. saw the bell. and, hearing It's
history. determined TO bring 1t to this
country. The people, however. were
loath to part with it.-New York Mail

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer,
and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. Ii a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examine
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia. Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
MY health became SO poor that l
had to leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. l was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. 1 was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetab BILE Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as i
ever was. have gained flesh and have
good color. l am completely cured Of
irregularity."

An American Who Passed a. q Dele.
gate from the Rhenish Provinces.
Frederick W. Wendt describes "A
Visit to Bismarck" in the st. Nicholas.
Mr.. Wendt says: One train after an
other drew up at the station platform,
and finally all the delegations Of the
Rhenish provinces had arrived. Some
of them were decidedly queer-looking,
and l came to the conclusion that l
would not be discovered II l mixed in
with them. Marching lines. four
abreast, were formed, and with unlim-
tied confidence stepped Into the ranks.
For an hour We stood there, while the
souvenir peddlers reaped rich harvest
All at once the band struck up Die
Wacht am Rhein." The lines began to
move. and in a minute more we were
marching along the winding paths Of
the woods surrounding the castle" At
every step the enthusiasm grew, and
when at last we stood before the bal
cony where Bismarck was to appear,
keen expectation could be read upon
every face.
The last verse Of the song rolled out
hymn of praise such as few men have
heard addressed to them. When the
last note had died away, the window
leading out upon the balcony opened. A
tall, sturdy figure, slightly bent, . splen-
did specimen of fourscore years, Otto
Won Bismarck. the Iron Chancellor"
stood before us. A wild hurrah burst
from the multitude again and again.

With a penitent sigh Gertie pulled

doll in relief. They have been stuck

HIS LAST VOYAGE

There is a sea from whose remoter shore
No vessel ever wanders back to this,
To tell what sands the silent waters kiss,
Or brings a word from sailors gone be-
fore
Whether they landed safe the freight they
bore
On some fair isle of everlasting bliss,
Or sank with 1t to some unknown abyss
We cannot tell-but they return no more.
Each makes the voyage for himself alone:
Or if line or message there may be,
'Tis written in tongue to as unknown
Some language unto which we have no
key;
And like the image with its eyes Of stone.
If they return, we have no sight to see?

as Jerrold was walking out one day
with Lemon aud another friend. and
Dickens with several more behind
them. Lemon suddenly dropped away
and turned back. What has become
