Limited Forgiveness.

Mr.. Klutz, of North Carolina.
told the following:
"Two brothers, John and ia
cob, had lived to old age in the
most amicable relations, when.
over some trivial occurrence,
they fell out, as we say III
North Carolina, and no longer
even spoke as they passed by.
Finally, John, the younger Of
the two, felt impelled to Try to
make things up. He rode over
to Jacobs house and vainly ne
costed the old man who was sit
ting on the porch; but refused
to speak to, Or take any notice
of him. Nothing daunted, John
bravely broached his errand.
Nov, Brudder Jacob, said
he, you know we've been livin
like brudders now nigh on to 10
year, and we've had this onfor-
unit fallin out, and I've jest come
over to see if we can't make it
up
Jacob, with his head in his
hands made no response.
"'Now, Brudder Jacob John
went on, you know we've lived
like brudders ought for nigh on
40 year, and our fader's dead
and our mothers dead and all
our brudders and sisters is dead,
and we's all that's left. Let's
make it up, Brudder Jacob: If
I've done you any harm, [ hope
you'll forgif me and if you've
done me any harm I freely for
gif you
"Jacob still made no response,
and John went on with one last
effort at reconciliation:
"sNow, Brudder jacob said
he, you know we've been going
to the communion table over
here at the organ church for
nigh on to 40 year, and the sa-
clement meetin is comm on over
thar next Sunday. and we ought
to go to that meetin; butwe can't
go with such feeiin's like these
in our hearts; We ought to for
gif one another and go to- that
table with right feelin's in our
hearts, like brudders ought, and
like we always used to do. Let's
make it up, Brudder Jacob
'Old Jacob was touched and
partly won at last, and looking
up, he said. We'll, Brudder
John, I freely forgit you till af-
ter the saclement meetin; but
not a blamed minute longer. -,

A Living En.etic.

A servant who did not find her way
very promptly to the kitchen one morn
ing was visited by her mistress. who
found her in bed suffering from pain
and violent sickness. She explained
that she had q cold and had taken
some medicine which had been recon-
mended for the children.
"How much did you take?" asked
her mistress.
"Well. mum. went by the directions
on the bottle They said, Ten drops
for an infant. thirty drops for an adult
and q tablespoonful for an enetic.' |

pesky stuff has pretty nigh turned me
inside out" ."-AIedical Brief.

A Complicated Relationship.

A lawyer received new client
the other day. big man named
Frazier. who wanted to sue to
recover $500 advance on a note
and not repaid.
Who is the client::" asked
the lawyer.

How nearly related::"
Very nearly"
But my dear sir persisted
the lawyer. ''you must be more
explicit. .
::Wcll: she may oe my moth

::Maybe be: Then you are
likely to marry her daughteT?:"
I've already married the
daughter"
"Oh, then, oicourse, the de-
fendant is your mother-in-law::"
Il guess you'd better hear the
whole story" said the man nam
ed Frazier.
He heaved a weary sign and
then went On: You see, a year
ago we lived together-my son
Bill and I. Across the way
lived the Widow Foster and her
daughter Mary. Well. sir, I
married Mary because she was
good looking. My son Bill mar
ried the widow because she had
heaps of money. Now, perhaps,
you can tell me whether the old
lady is my mother-in-law Or my
daughter-in-law.'
But the lawyer couldn't-at
least, not just then. The prob
lem had struck him all in a heap.
He looked wild-eyed and his
brain was reeling.
"Perhaps when you've settled
that question you'll undertake
my suit" Frazier added. ''The
old lady borrowed the money
fair and square and she can pay
it back: but she won't so I've got
to sue
II don't think I'll take your
case" faltered the lawyer s'The
-er-er-presents too many
complications
by the way" said Frazier
disappointedly, as he took Up
his hat and prepared to go,

child has been born to each
couple. Can you tell me what
relation the two children are to
each other?"
But the lawyer couldn't.-Tit-

HARMFUL BATHING.
Too Much Soap and Water Is NOT
Good For the Skin.

Good For the Skin.
1t is q familiar boast OF English peo-
ple that we are above all others q
washing nation. Soap and water is a
standing dish in Great Britain, but so
little were we disposed to credit the
habitual cleanliness Of foreigners that
4 piece of soap in the valise was till re-
Gently the habitual companion Of an
Englishman on his travels. All kinds
Of theories have been raised to account
for this national tendency to ablution,
and most diverse qualities have been
attributed to its possession.
The familiarity Of islanders with wa
ter and the use Of it occasioned by the
national custom that led the ancient
Britons to paint their bodies are SOL
emnly urged as the foundation Of the
English proneneSs to washing, and the
fresh complexiops and smooth skins OF
young Englishmen are held to replace
the Aore dusky and hirsute counte.
nances Of the Latin races because Of
their closer and more frequent ac-
Guaintance with the articles of the
waShstand.
# is quite obvious that even in Eng
land there are people who wash too
little. 1t is not so generally recognized
that some people wash too much. The
skin is not well adapted to frequent
applications Of water accompanied by
even the least Irritating Of soaps. \
tendency arises to maceration Of the
superficial part of the epidermis, which
is too frequently removed and occa-
sions probably too rapid proliferation
Of the cells Of the Malpighian layer.
There is no doubt that many cases Of
roughness of the skin of the face come
from the frequent applications Of wa
ter. It is a good thing to rub the face
with q soft, clean. dry towel two or
three times a day. II, insaddition, wa
ter is used in the morning and at night,
the skin will be kept in a soundcr,
smoother and healthier state shan if.
as is often the case, soap and water are
used three or four times u day.

respect, most men sparins little time

The Last Request.

The following lines were found upon
the baby of South Carolina volunteer.
after he was killed at the battle of
Dranesville December 20 1861:
Oh! carry me back to my own loved
Carolina shore,
If or the battle field I fall, Oh. take me
home once more.
For I would silently rest beneath the
bright blue SKY,
With her green sod on my youthful
breast. there let me line:
Oh. boys, carry me back, when the

And mother dear, with grateful tear,
will bless you evermore.
I knew that YOU will not forget q
brothers last request,
And if there be one comrade, spared

And tell the loved ones there-the
mourning household band,
To meet me on the blissful shore OF the
bright spirit land:
Oh. boys, carry me back, carry me if L

She was seated by my side, and we
whispered vows OF love,

the lines upon which a political
contest is to be fought any more
than a general can always
choose his ground of battle.
They have it in their power,

The "Extra Horse"

A iover Of horses recently noticed 4
custom in France which he thinks
ought to be adopted in this country.
On every street in France which has
a steep grade there is stationed an "ez-
ira horse" The law compels draymen
and others to make use Of this horse
until the summit Of the bill is reached.
and there is a heavy fine for refusing
to hire the extra horse at small fixed
rate. Placards by the roadside indi-
cate the point where the extra horse
should be taken on and also where he
may be dispensed with.

IMPROVES MARCONI SYSTEM
Prof. Slaby Shows the Kaiser How
He Sends Ten Messages Stimuli
taneOusly to a Common Point.

Prof. Slaby lectured at Berlin on his
discoveries in wireless telegraphy. EN-
peror William, the postmaster, num-
Der of military and naval officers, sa-
wants and engineers attended.
Prof. Slaby calls the system spark
telegraphy in preference to wireless:
because the spark has hitherto been
indispensable for using the method.
He announced that he and Count
Arco, by minutely studying the prop
critics of the electric waves from the
transmitter, had discovered means for
removing a great defect in the sys-
tem-namely, the impossibility of tel
egraphing simultane ously from several
stations to common one by single
wire.
Prof. Slaby exhibited his instru
ments, by which, by the use of an elee
tric spiral coil which he calls multi
plicatory. he claims to extraordinarily
increase the effectiveness of the sys
tenn. Demonstrations were made with
two stations respectively IA and foul
kilometers distant, which were con
nected with the lecture hall. Message:
| were received from these stations 81
| multaneously and ten times quicker
than by the present system.

Her Arthur smiled. "Did you? AS il
she could be compared to you!" And
