annex San Domingo, Mr.. Schurz, as SEN

the treaty as ne was to whatever Presi-
dent Grant did or suggested. In a speech
on Jan. IL, 1871, on the San Domingo treaty,
Mr.. Schurz said

continually oscilliating between two ex-

despotism.

Ethel's Education


Out from the darkened room, where
she had suffered the keenest torture o

some dark region to Paradise. She

sweet, warm sunshine.
81 love the lilies best" she thought
as she picked few sprays; and then
the memory of all she had just heard
came over her, and a low, passionate
cry escaped her lips. 81 shall hate
her :" she thought, land the Gordons,
who know so well how to love, know
how to hate!"
1t seemed cruelty hard to her. Sir
Leonard had been content with her
love and her sway for so many years;
now stranger must come and take
both from her. She had been proud of
her rule; she was so frank. so true, al
though imperious, so generous, so
noble in every word and deed that the
servants Of the household, the tenants,
the dependents. all worshiped her.
Miss Gordon could do no wrong she
dispensed rewards and punishments
with a royal hand; no one had ever
disputed her will or disobeyed her COM
mand. She had reigned absolutely as
a queen. and. girl though she was. the
sense of power had been sweet to her.
She had enjoyed the exercise of 1t. II

So she had grown up gracious and be-

now this pleasant rule, this absolute
sovereignty, this influence and power
were to be taken from her. and placed
in the hands of a stranger. How was
she to bear it?

She stretched out her hands as though
she would fain embrace the grand ole

ly old enough to know the names of
the different dishes she had been ae-
customed to give orders for dinner,
and the servants had been accustomed
to look to her for orders. Child though
she was, she had taken the greatest in
terest in her fathers guests nothing
was ever done without consulting her.
Accustomed as she had been to the
most complete sway and control over
everything and every one, it seemed to
her now very hard that this power
must pass from her into a strangers
hand.
For some time past it had been
dawning upon Sir Leonard that, with
all his daughters beauty and accom-
p1ishments, she was in many respects
unframed. By this time he had begun
to see that in reality he had fostered
and encouraged her faults, not cor
rected them. Childish passion, when
son, and the tiny foot had been
stamped upon the floor, was one thing;
anger so frankly displayed by young
girl was different. Love Of rule and
pride of power were amusing in a
child; in a grown girl they were not
pleasant.
Then the world, in it's interfering
fashion, had begun to tell him how
much better it would be if he had
some lady to chaperon his daughter
how much better it would be if she
had some lady companion. When the
offer came from the Austrian ambassa-
dor the matter seemed pressing upon
him; it was impossible that he should
take her with him, yet it seemed equal
ly impossible that he should leave her
at home There was nothing for it but
finding a chaperon for her; and who
would be so unexceptional in every
way as the lady ne was hoping to
marry?
He shrank at first from telling Ethel
his resolve, but there was no escape;
and her reception of it was more ia
vorable than he had dared to hope.

EATING / 1rAIR PECK o. DIRT.
In Some Parts of the World There is
Reason for the Practice

However opinions may differ as to
the desirability of earth eating as a
habit, it appears to lend itself to fine
shades of discrimination in the palate
of its votaries. In one of the southern
states a negro clay-eat:r who was en-
ployed as scrub woman has devoured
some of the finest specimens of
kaolin on exhibition in the state geo.
logical museum. Five blocks of clay
which were very highly valued on ac-
count of their purity were missed by
the state geologist, who found on other
specimens the impressions of teeth.
Detectives were set to work on the
case and the theft was traced to a
negress who scrubbed the marble floors
of the museum. She confessed that
she was a regular clay-eater, and hav-
ing been tempted to taste the argillace-
Gus specimens ranged on the shelves,
she found them so smooth and rich in
flavor as to be irresistible. In this
country the clay-eater is usually a per-
son of wretched complexion and miser-
able physique; capable of little self
control, and despised by his fellows,
but in some parts of the world earth
deposits occupy an important part in
the dietary list.
A traveller in Sweden tells that food
had begun to be very scarce in a dis
trict through which he was passing,
when a poor woodman noticed some
white stuff in the roots of a tree he had
felled. 1t looked so clean and nice
that he carried home a basketful,

QUEER RITES OF RACCOONS.
Immense Infant Coons and Wash the
Food Before Eating.

You have missed two singular events
if you never saw a coon christening or
coon food cleaning out at the zoo. The
home at the zoo consists simply of
plot of ground about as large as barn
door of extra generous size would
cover. This is surrounded by a wire
fence four feet high, topped with a
broad upcurved tin rail which prevents
the little clownlike creatures from es-
Gaping. In the center of this yard is
tree twenty feet high and having
many heavy limbs. Near the base of
the tree is several-foot square pool
of water. This pool marks two very
exclusive, very notable characteristics
that distinguish the coon from any
other animal. The pool is the coon's
christening and food-cleansing place.
When a coon gives .irth to young
almost the first thing she does is to ac-
companied by the father coon, proceed
slowly and solemnly to the pool. Ar

A chambermaid at Spitzers hotel
Exchange Place, Jersey City, was sur

2-year-old girl in one of the rooms.
The child, fully dressed, was sitting
in chair sound asleep and the gas
in the room was burning brightly. An
overcoat was found in the room. The
night clerk remembered that the child
was in the company of a man who

CHAPTER III.
Helen Digby.


Through the great lanes, where the
hedges were one mass of bloom, where
the hawthorn gave out its fragrance,
and the woodbines trailed their long
sprays, where starry primroses from
their green leaves looked like great
golden stars, where the purple violets
hid themselves between the fern
leaves, where the tall trees met over
head, and the sunshine, passing
| through the thick branches, fell in
golden plendor-through the ancient
woods, ringing with the musical song
of the birds, great sheets of wild hya-
cinths and bluebells, which stretched
out like the waves of a blue sea, STIR
ring family in the warm spring breeze
rode Sir Leonard and his daughter.
1t was very paradise of beauty, of
music and sweet perfume.
But neither the smiles of the sun,
nor the song of the birds, nor the
scent of the flowers, brought any
brightness to Ethel Gordon. More
than once during their ride Sir Leon
ard turned to her and said:
Il wish you would look more cheer
full, Ethel; all that l am doing is for
your own good"
Il cannot well see, papa, how you
can think of marrying again for my es-
pecial benefit; but l suppose you know
best"
1t was a relief to Sir Leonard to
reach Chantrey Court.
You will be sure to like Miss Digby,
Ethel" he said; you will not be able
to help it-she is so amiable, so kind
of heart, so gentle in manner"
Miss Gordon made no reply. In her
heart she rebelled with the fiercest re-
bellion against her fathers decree; in
her heart she had resolved never to
like, never TO obey, never even to
please the lady who was to take her
dead mothers place.
Lady Davencourt and Miss D.gby
were both at home. Sir Lenoard and
his daughter were shown into the
drawing-room, where the baronet tried
to look quite at his ease, and Ethel,
without deigning to utter a word, sat
in one of her most queenly attitudes,
beautiful, wilful. and defiant. Sir
Leonard turned angrily to her at last.
Your indulgence of this angry
temper, Ethel. proves to me that you
are indeed in great need of some one
to correct, to guide and advise you. I
say nothing about the want of respect
you show to me, but l must impress
upon you that it is unladylike."
The proud lips were not opened in
excuse, Ethel gathering the folds of her
riding-habit around her in disdainful
silence.
Then the door opened. and Laura
Davencourt entered. She gave one
rapid glance from father to daughter.
There is something wrong here"
she thought, as she fastened to greet
them.
Lady Davencourt is with Miss Dig
by in the grounds" said Laura.
Would you like to join them there?"
A few minutes later the whole party
were seated under the shade of large
beech-tree. Lady Davencourt greeted
her visitors warmly: and then Sir
Leonard, taking his daughters unwill-
ing hand. led her to Miss Digby.
He introduced them in a few words:

eyes. looked upon the face of the wo-
man who was to cross her life so IA
