thereof is sack-cloth and ashes"
But If she is permitting some black
guard to write things"

hitting, or anything about it," said
Mrs. Weston.

Three words. Eactly. And there
by hangs a history which you have
filled in with the aid of vivid mag

experience" (Hartleigh again moved
uneasily in his chair--"and it has
never entered your head that there
may be some things in the heavens
above and the earth beneath, " which
you are not altogether cognizant. In
any case. two wrongs do not make one
right. had that in my copybook at

The next evening the bistre shadows
that had begun to deepen around Mrs.
Hartleigh's soft gray eyes, were gone.
and the Helene guests congratulated
her on the deliverance from the dull
headache that had chung to her so
long. After dinner, Hartleigh drew
Mrs. Weston aside for a moment.
He told her how Mrs Hartleigh had
insisted upon his reading the whole
letter. which was the unwise effusion
OF an unwise man who had loved her
long before she met Hartleigh, and had
written her stormy reproach for not
even requiting his long devotion with
sign of friendly interest in his well
fare.
Hartleigh was immensely relieved
and a good deal ashamed of himself,
and after he had explained fully, out
of the gladness of his heart, and di-
lated upon the blessings that Heaven
had bestowed upon him, and of which
he was most unworthy, and bored poor
Mrs. Weston almost to extinction, he
took himself off to hang over the back
Of his wife's chair for the greater part
of the evening.
And always after that Banquo-epi-
sode of the Hartleigh's, Mrs. Hart
leigh's demeanor toward Mrs. Weston
was tinged with chill reserve. Which
Mrs. Weston received with the calm
philosophy of one who knows her
kind.
Blessed is the peace-maker," she
quoted to herself. with her shrewd lit
tie smile. "And 1 could have made
all sorts of trouble, had wished. Dear,
dear"
And she smiled on Mr.. Stanton
sweetly and plaintively asked him the
secret of his perennial youth, while
Mrs. Stanton glared at her Jelly, and
presented her with a large and heavily
bead-armored shoulder for the balance
of the evening.

His father was farmer, and the flu

DR.. Webb's usefulness in the mission

He had already visited Egypt, Pales-

larger labors with spirit and devotion.
DIR. Webb, in his prime, was an elo-

sermons were always interesting. His
flock loved him in all of his capaci-
ties, and when he resigned from his
pulpit in 1885 he was made pastor
emeritus. He was a clever and Wig

versialist, and he was tolerant and
gentle In his doctrines and his life.

FOR THE KANSAS HARVEST.
Thousand of Eastern Farmers Are Going

d. w. Blaine of Pratt writes to the
Capital that the movement to secure a
special rate for 10000 harvest hands to
take care of the great wheat crop is
booming. says the Topeka Daily Capt.
tai. Mr.. Blaine and others will go be-
fore the Western Passenger associa-
ton to ask for special rate of one
cent per mile from the Mississippi
river. The estimate of 10000 hands is
made from canvass of farmers by
school districts. The crop in the
wheat belt will be rs per cent heavier
than that of last year. Mr.. Blaine
says: 1T is necessary for those who
need extra help to make an early esti-
mate of the probable number of men
needed; also to join in a petition ask
ing that the railroads grant a harvest
hand rate. Last year we were granted
a rate OF one cent per mile from Mis-
souri, river points to the wheat belt in
Kansas, but this season, beginning as
early as we are now doing, we hope to
get the railroads to grant us rate

numerous letters from even as far
east as Pennsylvania from young farm

complish two objects: First, to give us
the extra men needed in harvest; and,
second, to bring us number of good

Fishing with a S cam Pump.

What might be considered the TAX
ing of an undue advantage OF the
fishes, as we'll as the running of the
fishing business, is a new method of
fishing reported by Cosmos (Paris),
and translated for the Literary Digest.
The editor says: Monsieu MERCER OF
st. Aubin du Coudrait describes one of
aginable. Although extremely simple,
the system is revolutionary. 1t was
discovered by chance. A pond on the
farm of La Marlequette, bordered by
rocky shores, was last year drained by
the aid of a steam pump. Each stroke
of the piston drew up twenty-five gal
Ions of water, and the pond was
emptied in few hours; and not only
was the water drawn off, but all the
fishes also were transferred to a new
element. This was revolution. The
owners of ponds in the neighborhood
followed suit. and the proprietors Of
the pump is making speciality of this
sort of work. He lets one of his
pumps, modified for the purpose. The
peasants of the region call it the
fish pump" East stroke of the piston
brings up torrent of water, in which
are fish and crawfish. together with
mud and debris. A sort of metal
basket receives the whole. The water
and slime exude, while boy collects
the fish and sorts them according to
species and weight Recently one
pond of several acres was cleared Of
fish at an expense OF thirty-six francs,
or seven dollars and twenty cents
The process is ingenious, but as one
cannot have the fish and eat them also
such rapid consumption must lead to
equally rapid determination.
