Not Personally.

The Antiquarian society of Smith
ton was holding its anniversary meet
ing, an occasion of much splendor and
Importance.
a young woman who acted in the ca
pacity of society reporter for one Of
the morning papers of the city, in max
ing her rounds for the purpose of Sc
curing the names of those in attend
ance, approached a somewhat elderly
but well-preserved spinster, who was
moving ir her stateliest manner amid
the throng.
II suppose, Miss Bunham,' tho re-
porter said, jotting down the name in
her notebook, you are an Antigua
rian?"
81 am member of the A;ltiquarian
society, responded Miss Bunham, with
great dignity evidently having an i'm
preston that an "antiouarian," OBJ
jectively considered, was about the
same as an antiquity.

HAPPlEsT CLASS OF PEOPLE.

Those That Enjoy Life Most Are Ones who
Have "Seither Riches nor Poverty
In writing of "rhe Happiest Glass of
People" in the Woman's Home Com
panion, John Gilmer arrives at the fol
lowing conclusion: Il have told you
who are the unhappiest men, and now
it is my pleasant duty to speak of the
his petition, Give me neither riches
nor poverty There is in that, as in
happiest state. Solomon Indicated it in
most of the proverbs, both definition
and description. Neither riches nor
poverty. l need say little more. We
all know what the alternative is-that
middle state where the income safely
exceeds the expenditure. Then Il man
can be happy-and he. has good
temper and robust digestion-it does
not make much difference what goes
on around him. He is safe, and for
the time being at least his family
is secure. The best thing about this
happieSt state is that it has within it
such a tremendously large class. 1t is
not only man mere ana tupTe lHdU De-
longs within it; the men are legions.
In this country it embraces all of the
great middle class. And the very great
majority of them do not even know
that theirs is the happiest state; they
do not dream how well they are off.
Some of them, being wrong-headed
men, envy their richer neighbors some
others throw away their valuable suf-
ticiency in the endeavor to get riches;
some others get riches, and then are
not happy as they were before. Let
those who are in this happiest state
continue in it if they can, for the world
at large and the country at home has
great need for them. They constitute
the great conservative force-the force
which prevents the democratic coup-
try from going pell-mell to smash; they
represent the solid honesty which
stands midway between the madness
of a too rapid social reform and the
Unsuitable greed of the INSCRIPTIONS
who look upon the whole world as Il
goldmine that belongs to them by
right of inheritance or purchase. Hap
py should be the land where this class
is very great; and it is greater in the
United States than anywhere else in
the world"

At s o'clock the next morning,
after Dives had gone to the school
house, we called at Mulhall's store and
told the astonished storekeeper what
we had seen. He did not mt first be-
lieve us, and was inclined to resent
the charge against his foster-son.
AT last, when Mr.. Reeves said that
he might perhaps be convinced by be-
ing allowed to examine the room
where Dives slept, Mulhall led the way
upstairs.
1t was a large, open room, with many
old chests, boxes and cuddies. and a
very brief search disclosed the bundle
which we had seen Dives bring from
the stable the previous evening. 1t
contained not only his white shirt and
cap and the gunny bags, with which
he muflled the mares hoofs, but a
curious padded contrivance of white
cloth and wire to tie on her head.
The front of it was drawn to repre-
sent human face, with holes for the
horses eyes. 1t was this nodding
white face which we had seen at the
window.
Farther search in the chamber re-
vealed other things; plunder of many
kinds; goods and trinkets from the
store; not less than 80 letters, appar-
emily stolen from the post-office: four
brides; 10 silver spoons; bunch of
articles which Dives could not have
come bv honestly
BY this time Mulhall. a rather simple
man, was abusing his foster-son Wig
orcnsly rs thi'f and wished to go at
once with us to the schoolhouse and
denounce him.
Mr. Reeves persuaded him to say
nothing till evening, and we arranged
to call mt the house that night and en-
deavor to get the truth of the matter
from Dives himself.
But before noon that day the youth
had, in some way. learned or guessed
that his thefts We're discovered. He
did notreturn to the schoolhouse in the
afternoon.
He had run away, and never heard
of him afterward until / saw his name
in the Arizona ewspapers.-Youth's
Companion.

Honesty Developed by Mail Boxes.

"That naive trust in human honesty
American said an Englishman. point
ing to a letter box. Il would like to
see Il Continental business man lay
packages and large envelopes on the
top of the post boxes. They would be
taken before the glue of the stamps
was dry. There is another reason why
we can't do that at home. Our dear
old London fogs would wipe out the
address in short order and unless the
collections were frequent the paper
would be reduced to a pulp. A dry
climate makes you Americans talk
with a dreadful nasal accent, but it
shows up your honesty"

Queensland has been not inaptly de-
scribed as a paradise for spinsters. The
last census taken there showed $4,000
more single men than single women,
and the efforts of the colonial govern
ment in the way of emigration are now
chiefly devoted to making up the de-
ficiency. Indeed, Sir Horace Tozer,
the agent general for Queensland may
claim to be one of the busiest matrimo-
NAL agents in the world, for he is send
ing out large numbers of single women
TO that colony and it is said that the
men of Australia to free or assisted
emigration does not extend to the class
exported by him, so long as he is care
full to select them young and tolerably
good looking. 1t is evident that the
agent and his assistants must possess
unusual powers of discrimination with
regard to picking out attractive emf
grants, for it appears that about so
per cent. of the women marry within
two years after their arrival in Queens
land. When we are told that servants
are always in demand in the Austria
liam colonies, that wages average be-
tween 800 and 5000 year, and that
in az probability within two years do
mestlc service may be exchanged for
matrimony, it is easy to understand
why Queensland has been termed "a
paradise for spinsters."

There are valuable products in Al
aska other than the minerals. f. A.
Walpole, special agent of the de-
partment of agriculture, has found
there an immense growth of many
kinds Of woods which will make valu-
able timber. The principal trees he
found were two varieties of spruce,
two of hemlock, and one each of pine
and cedar There is a great deal of
spruce. The pine as a rule is not of
much value. 1t is rather small and
grows in the marshes and bogs. The
cedar is the most valuable wood to
be found in southern Alaska. 1t
grows in great abundance along the
coast, and is called there the yellow
cedar, but is known in all parts of
the country rs the Alaska cedar.
There is some red cedar and it is very
large. There is a good growth to r
sound about Wrangel. The yelles..
cedar is good principally for making
moth-proof boxes and such like artf-
cles, and is especially valuable for in
terror finishing and the maaHfacture
of furniture.

steal a ride ut the same time. One Of

a special police force for the purpose
of preventing trespassing. Some of

of this action, as they obtain mach
of their extra help in harvest times

What is the record price for single
flower? From Australia comes an
answer to the query. A princess was
president of a music exhibition on
which loss had been made. She ac-
cordingly organized a flower show, at
which ladies of rank, including the
princess, had stalls. One of her Gus
toners was the wealthy Baroness
Reinelt of Trieste, who, in choosing
a pink, asked: How much may 1
pay for this fower?" "You, Baron
ess, may in your generosity fix the
limit" "How much is wanted for
the music exhibition?" Forty thou
sand pounds" 81 will give that for
the pink" said the baroness.

Blues

Many a woman dresses to 20 out, feels
i%rresolute, sits down, and falls into a fit
of respondent musing. Ask her what's
the matter, and she'll probably answer
"Just the blues" And what are the
blues? Only another name, in general,
for a disordered liver and a diseased
stomach. Cleanse the liver, heal the
stomach, purify the blood, and there'll
be no more blues. 1t can be done by
the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. This medicine puts the dis
eased organs of digestion and nutrition
into a condition of sound health. It
eliminates from the blood all impure and
poisonous substances, and cleanses the
clogged liver. It contains neither al
cohol nor narcotics.
