"Yes, yes! Well, now, my dear lady,

But lean honorably retract? Can

my brother-in-law Is of very
choleric temper; cannot say. But you
might be called away"
Il am called away. l have urgent
business in Liverpool, and am the
man who should be on the spot. No in

abroad at once, Mrs. Ray. And Miss
Gladys-she is very pretty-no doubt
may supply my place, in the course of
year, with some one who-who has

views on health that hold And YOU
since you seem lady of uncommon
sense and superior ideas of the fitness
of things-will, perhaps, use your intiu-
ence toto"
Certainly, to smooth my niece's
pathway, of course"
So the conversation came pacitically
to an end, and two days later the squire
sailed for Liverpool. The news came
to the Rays like thunderbOlt, for the
father and son had prospectively Sc
cured large slice of good fortune from
Gladys wedding the rich squire. But
he was gone-for year or more, report
said-and after furious and senseless
anger against Gladys the poor girl was
left in peace.
When Aunt Phoebe went home to her
quiet seaside dwelling at Bayport she
took Gladys with her on visit, and
one day she privately wrote a Letter to
Dick Archer, who, she had learned
through Gladys grandfather, was a
most promising young man.
The result of this letter was to bring
the young gentleman also to Bayport
on visit, and the young people had
plenty of time in which to plight their
vows and take wise counsel with good
Aunt Phoebe.
Through her influence, Archer was
soon prosperously established in life,
and now, in happy motherhood, happy
and rosy with her own rosy babies,

Origin of "Deadhead."

Speaking. of the origin of the word
"deadhead," Frederick Stanley says:
in the museum ut Naples was much
interested in a case Of theatrical tick
cts found in tragic theater in Pom
peil. They were made varlously in
bone, ivory, and metal. You are aware,
perhaps, that to this day the gallery
of an Italian theater Is called the pig
con loft. Well, the little tickets for this
part Of the auditorium were in the
shape Of pigeons. while varying devices
were used for other parts of the house.
What attracted my attention most GU
riously, however, was set OF dlmin-
utive skulls modelled In ivory. These
were used solely by those having the
right of free admission. Now, does this
not suggest the very possible derlva-
ton of the terrnf'

ABOUT APPENDICITIS.
Few Persons of Middle Age Who Have
Not Had the Disease.

Not Had the Disease.
The vermiform appendix, inhamma-
ton of which constitutes appendicitis,
Is curious little offshoot from the
large intestine near the point where it
Is Joined by the small intestine. 1t is
a hollow tube about as thick as a lead
pencil, from an inch to several inches
N length, which communicates with the
cavity of the large Intestine but Is
closed at it's free extremity. Nobody
knows definitely what its use Is, and
many think it has no use at all.
1t is popular belief that inflamma-
ton of the appendix is often caused by
the lodgment in 1t of a grapeseed or
some similar little body, but as mat
ter Of fact this very seldom occurs, and
no one need deprive himself Of a de-
licious and nourishlng fruit from any
such fear.
There are probably very few persons
Of middle age who have not had appen-
dicitis, but fortunately they did not
know it. 1t Is only when the lnfamma-
ton becomes severe and involves the
parts about the appendix that violent
symptoms appear. and this occurs In
only n small portion of cases.
The disease Is II ore frequent with the
young man than with the middle-aged
or old
In mild cases the only symptoms Is a
slight dull or colicky pain in or near
the right groin. When the inhamma-
tlon is more severe. or extends to the
neighboring parts. the symptoms be-
come more pronounced. There Is a
sharp pain In the abdomen. signs of
dyspepsia-loss Of appetite, nausea, or
vomiting, and bowel disturbances
present, and there Is often slight fever.
In the most serious cases sudden,
violent pain occurs, there Is a marked
fever, and the patient is depressed and
presents all the signs of being very Ill.

1t is stated that the authorities at
Scotland Yard are now engaged in sub

the necessary wear and tear of the SER
vice.
Plans for the reclamation of the
meadows near Newark, n. j., are be-
ing considered and thirteen plans were
submitted. The plans were sent in by
experts and engineers from all parts of
the country.
Experiments made by French savants
on Mont Blanc, last summer, showed
that the ice of great glacier will serve
as support for telegraph-wire with
out insulation. A naked galvanized
iron wire laid upon the ice transmitted
telegraphic signals more than a mile.
Sir William MacCormac writes in the
Lancet that in most cases the damage
done by modern bullets, and especially
the MauSer, cannot be compared with
that inflicted by the projectiles of the
needle-guns or the Chassepot rifle,
weapons employed in the Franco-Ger-
man war. A similar result is obtained
when comparison is made with the
work of the bullets used in our civil
war.
AS the result Of twenty-nine years of
experiments at Rothamsted, England,
1t Is shown that in the winter months
more than half of the amount of rain
that falls penetrateS into the soil and
becomes available for the supply of
springs, while in the summer only one
quarter Of the rainfall is absorbed by
the soil. The maximum quantity OF
water in the soil is at depth Of about
forty inches.
The way In which the Indians made
soapstone dishes is said TO be as fol-
lows: With hard implement, proba-
bly, flint, they cut circle on the stone
which was to become a dish and then
Clipped away and down on the circum-
ference of this. They then fashioned
the outside to the shape they desired
while 1t was still attached to the rock
itself. Finally, they split it off at the
bottom and followed it out, and the
dish was completed.
Gas liquor has been turned to useful
account at CuzZies, in France. Beet
root would not grow in the fields be-
cause they had become infested with a
beet-root parasite, but wSph one appli-
cation of the gas liquor fifteen tons Of
beet root per acre, with II per cent. Of
sugar, four splendid crops of cereals
were obtained, and in another set Of
trials using gas liquor only, four sue
cessful crops of more than twenty-four
tons to the acre and fifth of over six
teen tons were secured.
The ingenuity of architects is some
times severely taxed to provide for the
comfort Of the dwellers in lofty apart
ment houses. In New York City plans
have been filed for a gigantic building
Of this kind to stand on 9TH avenue,
and to be connected with well-known
restaurant across tile street by tun-
mel, finely fitted up and lighted, where
by the occupants of the apartment
house can go out to their meals in all
kinds Of weather without the necessity
of putting on hats. The only draw back
appears TO be that they are limited In
their choice of a restaurant.

work Of the brilliant democratic
orator, Champ Clark. and is unap-
preached OF its kind:
He beareth all things, hopeth

is the packhorse Of every commun-

enterprise. the worst paid laborer
in the vineyard. Counting his
space as his capital, he gives
more to charity, his means consid-
cred, than any other member oi
society. He is power in politics,
a pillar Of the church, a leader Of
the crusade for better morals. He
is pre-eminently the friend Of hu-
manity. He joytuliy chronicles
our advent into this world, briefly
notes our up>risings and down-sit>

A PATRIOTS
VOICE FROM AFFAIR.

Henry Labouchere, editor Of
London Truth, is one Of the strong
men OF England Although reared
in the atmosphere of royalty, and
himself long a member of parlia-
ment, his sympathies are with the
republican form Of government.
The political situation in the United
States is thus viewed by him:
"Were l an American,
would vote for Mr.. Bryan
in the coming election. l
do not believe in bimetal-
lism, but regard it as a
pious opinion that has
nothing to do with prac>
teal politics.
81 would vote for Bryan
because he is more demo-
cratic than his opponent.
Bryan's crusade against
trusts means that he OBJ
jects to plutocrats ruling
the country in their in>
terests. His opposition
to the entering on scram-
bic tor outside territory is
merely the doctrine which
until within few years.
was held by every Amer>
ican. 1t is this doctrine
which has made the Un>
tied States SO prosperous.
Capitalists and imperiaIists
are actuated by the same aims.
They want to divert attention
from the maintenance Of democ-
racy at home by Haunting before
their country the glory Of an in
creasins area Of empire. Semi
civilized lands acquired by the
sword are the best hunting fields.
"Never yet has a people or
nation benefited by such acquisi-
tons. Imperialism has made our
plotocrats our masters for the
nonce.
They will remain the master

Democracy and Trusts.

When howls please tell him the fol-
lowing facts:
That the only antitrust laws national books
were placed there by republicans
That under those laws the old trusts usts proper
Of business and the corporation lawyers up new scheme
to dodge the law.
That the republicans trying strengthen the old
laws and that every democrat the House committee refused
to vote in favor of the measure.
That the republicans trying have a constitutional
adopted giving Congress power defeat the
dodge the corporation lawyers and that the democrats
all opposed allowing the people chance that
That big corporations trusts exist in free trade countries
and in this country non protected articles.
That you would rather have American employing
American labor at American than international trust
employing foreign pauper labor at foreign paupe wages.
That the idea that publishing the corpora
tons officers their business and their profits will
kill the corporations reminds you of the way of catching rob-
ms by putting salt on their tails
That democracy has proposed sins remedy
the trust problem.
That it has opposed is opposing every sane remedy
offered.
That it talks antitrust for politics only.
That it settlement of the trust problem because
it wishes to keep the question in politics.
Tell your democratic friends these things and you will find
that he otdeny single charge eute single assertion
Then tell your democratic friends be honest and talk free
silver for that is what is in their hearts
interesting the different things which different
people expect OF Mr. Bryan should he be elected president
Mr. Bryan would have a difficult living up to his
expectations but the republican majority will spare him that
annoyance.
