The women of the present day, with
her most sensitive organization, her
more vivid imagination, her superior
intelligence and her warmer tempcra-
ment, can feel things the more because
she can understand them better than
the halfdeveloped women of the past.
Mediocrity is not for her; but when at
last she finds and knows her mate, she
is sublime in her self-abandonment.
Having put away so many of the con-
ventions of other days, the ones that
still exist have little power over her.
The teaching of her early years, the
traditions of her sex, the fears, the
doubts, the hesitancies-all these she
tramples uhderfoot : and, seeking out
the one man of her life, she stands be-
fore him in that splendid shameless
ness which is the finest thing in per-
feet love. Mind, heart, and soul all
cry out irresistibly within her; and
stirred with infinite emotion, shaken
with passion, and thrilling with the
ecstasy that comes but once in any
life, she knows that there can he no
joy for her so overwhelming as to die
in alteration at his feet.

RECENT INVENTIONS.

Cattle are prevented from tearing
down fences by the use of a new yoke,
which consists of a ring through the
nose, attached to the lower end of
rod running up above the top OF the
head, where it is secured with strap
and has two prongs to catch the yoke
when the animal touches fence.
In an improved filter the water can
be made to cleanse the strainer at in
tervals, the filter being formed of
threaded sleeve, with outlets ar
ranged around the sides to pass the
water through the filtering medium,
screw cap closing the straight out
let until the filter is dirty.
Liquids can be drained from not
kettles without burning the hands by
using new apparatus, which is made
of spring wire and has a number of adj
Unstable clamps which grip the rim of
the kettle, with spring to hold the
cover on and handle to tilt the ket-
tie from the rear.
A Pennsylvania woman has patent
ed machine for futing or plating
cloth, the apparatus being formed ola
pair of boards hinged together, with
intermeshing fiat strips of steel set on
edge in each board, in order that when
they are closed over the cloth the lat
ter will be folded and creased.
Telephones can be provided with an
improved antiseptic device to lessen
the dangers of microbe infection, cir
cular gauze cup being provided to fit
inside the mouthpiece, with felt ring
around the edge of the cap, to be sat
urated with an antiseptic and engage
the surface of the mouthpiece.

WORDS OF TRUTH.

All noble deeds bear golden fruit.
Who is often "alone with Jesus" is
strengthened for the duties of life.
True soldiers of the cross accept no
offers of compromise from the devil.
Our "Father's business" is that
which should be our deepest concern.
Whatever injustice another may
render US will not excuse our doing
HIM wrong.
Let us carefully examine ourselves,
whether we be trusting in our own
strength or in the strength of God.
There is no place in the church of
God for a lazy man. He does not
even make the devil very valuable
servant.
No preacher should be afraid to de-
clare "all the counsel of God," but he
should be afraid to declare more or
less.
Emerson said, "Hitch your wagon to
a STAR" by which he doubtless meant:
Let your aspirations be high, let your
ideals be lofty.

Vacation is over. Again the school
bell rings at morning and at noon,
again with tens of thousands the hard
est kind of work has begun, the re-
newal of which is a mental and physi-
cal strain to all except the most rug
ged. The little girl that few days
ago had roses on her cheeks, and the
little boy whose lips were then so red
you would have insisted that they had
been "kissed by Strawberries" have
already lost something of the appear
ance of health. Now is time when
many children should be given a tonic,
which may avert much serious trouble,
and we know of no other so highly to
be recommended as Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, which strengthens the nerves,
perfects digestion and assimilation,
and aids mental development by build
ing up the whole system.

A Remarkable Story.

am an old farmer, living in the
oldest house in Oidtown. The only
thing new upon the place is my we'll.
We have an ancient we'll, but no one
ever tastes the water there, though it
is cold and clear as crystal. The house
is handsome mansion-the sort of
place gentleman retiring from busi-
ness usually buys to end his days in,
and city people come to see it and the
grounds, and seem to be delighted.
Now, when tell you that l came
into Oldtown with exactly six hundred
dollars in my pocket, and that had
no idea what | should do when that
was spent, you will feel surprised that,
six months after, | owned this place.
But I'll tell you all about it. 1t was
what folks call a haunted place, and
for ten years it had stood vacant.
People tried to live there, but were
always frightened away. If it had
been only the house, that could have
been torn down; but nobody could even
farm the land. Twelve years before
this the proprietor had been jealous
old gentleman, who had 4 young wife,
whom he would never permit out of
his sight if he could avoid it. How
ever, she was as sly as he was watch
ful, and she managed to flirt sufficient
ly to make herself talked about. Being
very pretty, two silly young fellows
fell in love with her, and one used to
follow her about, making eyes and
signing dreadfully like lover in a
play. The postmistress said he wrote
to her-and suppose he did. And
at last the news spread through the
place that she had run away with him.
He was gone, and she was gone; and
the old man came one morning to Law
yer Tantivy, and sold his property, at
a great loss, to a man who had wanted
it for years-a rich man, who liked to
have it said he owned the finest place
in Oldtown.
1t was plain that the poor old gen.
tleman did not care what became of
himself and when he got the money
he wandered away, and was never seen
again.
The new proprietor moved up 20 the
great house in state; but at dawn the
whole mily-servants and all-re-
turned to their old quarters. What
they had seen, or what they had not
seen, it was hard to tell. but they were
al nearly frightented to death. The
ii, ctor was sent for the ladies, and they
spoke of the most awful apparitions.
After this the head of the family and
three constahIes from the little market
town, spent day and a night there.
They held their tongues; but those
who saw them next day knew they had
been well frightened, and the man put
the place into the market at once.
Lawyer Tantivy privately told peo-
pie that only coward would have
been frightened by rats in an old wall,
and he sold the property to city man.
Much the same thing happened, but
the house was not sold again. The
city man went elsewhere, and tried in
vain to get rid of his bargain. 1t was
let for the summer once, but the peo-

VIRTUES REWARD.

The baby that's good lies all day lonr,
Toying away with his toes,
And no one fingers to Groom him a song
Or lessen his little woes;
The baby that's good neglected lies
Where the sun shines into its blinking eyes
And the flies trot over his nose
The baby that squalls all day, all night,
Is "mother's sweet, precious pet;"
She foEdles and rocks him with all her might.
And leaves everything else upset;
The baby that only knows how to squall
L. dandled and pampered and always gets all
The care that there is to get.
The man who quietly tolls away,
With never plaint nor sigh,
Just doing his best day after day,
With hopes Of the By-and BY,
Who merely accepts what the world accords,
Receives but few of the sweet rewards
For which the successful Try.
The man who demands the best there is.
Who asks-as the poorest may
Though others have stronger claims than his.
Takes the fairest gifts away;
The man who asks may have little worth
But he gets the best there Is on earth
For saying his little saw.

They were horrible enough, I can
tell you, and they looked at me and
pointed into the we'll; and then heard
two voices crying:
"Get US out! Get us outl Get us
out and bury us! The water is cold,
and our wounds are deep. Get US out!"
And then the truth came to me,
goodness knows how. I was just able
to crawl over to my neighbor's house,
and said to him:
"Mr. Jarvis, will you send one of
your men to the authorities and have
the police sent up to my place?
There's something in my we'll that
ought not to be there"
Well, they came, and I was right.
They took out of that we'll two bodies,
rolled up in sheet of lead.
By bits of jewelry, and things Of
that sort, they found out that they
were the bodies of the young wife Of
the old proprietor and the young man
who used to run after her. The old
man had killed them both, but he must
have had help to bury them in their
leaden coffins.
And now people began to remember
how two plumbers, who had a good
deal of this sheet lead in their shop,
grew suddenly we'll off and went from
the place about the time the old man
sold the estate, and they believed that
he had paid them for helping him to
dispose of the bodies.
They were buried in the graveyard,
and Jane and l never saw the ghosts
again.
The farm land and summer visitors
brought me the price l had agreed
upon for the place, and I've been a
prosperous man ever since.
