ings to Water Spirits.
Thousands of real and artificial
lilies bearing cargoes Of sugar, sweet
meats, rice, tobacco and incense sticks
are annually fioated on rivers and sea
by the Siamese as offerings to water
spirits. The lotus is the national
flower of Siam, ard is interviewer in
it's religion and poetry. In that coun-
try both the white and pink varieties
grow in the greatest %profusion. On
the way from Bangkok it is not I'M
usual to sail for miles through flooded
fields covered with the white flower.
recently been found. 1t is larger than
the pink flower and is pure white ex.
cept for an inner row of crumpled and
tluted petals, which are tinged with
sea- green like the others; the heart
of the new lily is golden, but it has
no flavor. The lotus is interviewer
with every religious rite and cere-
mony of the Siamese, and there are
few legends which do not in some way
have to do with it. At the ceremonies
attending the cremation of the
drowned Queen of Siam tridents with
triple tips, each crowned by a lotus,
were carried in the procession. Lotus
shaped cups and sprinklers are used
for the royal bath, in the hair cutting
and coronation ceremonies.

Marriages Expedited.

Only recently the complaint was
made that the preparations for a we'd
ding were becoming SO elaborate, cost
ly and troublesome that young men
preferred to remain bachelors rather
than undergo the ordeal. In view of
this complaint, it is r%eassur.ng to
learn that, owing to the perfection of
system established in the county
building, weddings may now be per-
formed there with the greatest dis
patch. A couple, 1t is reported, may
seek the marriage-license window at
any time in the day. and then depart
flom the county building man and
wife in the space Of eight minutes
and twenty seconds. The gain over
the slow, old-fashioned wedding, which
requires weeks for preparation and a
whole day for the ceremony itself, is
obvious. A man may now get married
In less time than it takes to ride
around the loop. Some improved
methods of courtship on the lightning
express principle doubtless will soon
be forthcoming.-Chicago News.

Even staid Congregational ministers
have an occasional bump OF humor.
The government has recently installed
at Falkner's island, on the Connecticut
coast, an immense foghorn with a
~megaphone attachment. A few weeks
ago Chas. A. Hamilton of the Interna-
tional Silver company and X. +. o
ter, the whist expert, who are interest
ed in the manufacture of the horn.
visited the island for a final test OF the
horn. This was made on a Sunday,
the horn being blown at intervals OF
twenty-seven seconds from late on the
Saturday evening of their arrival until
the following Monday morning.
When Mr.. Hamilton started for
home he first learned how the ear
piercing and nerve-shattering means
had disturbed the peace and quiet OF
the worshiping congregation in the lit
tie stone chruch at Stony Creek.
Lord, we come to Thee, knowing
that we are miserable Sinners prayed
the fervent parson, to have the end OF
his supplication drowned by a mighty
groan from the foghorn. 1t so discom-
fitted the good man that the prayer
was drawn to a sudden close with the
usual amen" The minister opened
his eyes to find a covertly smiling con-
~gregation.

A Wonderful Pill.

Freedom, Mo-, Nov. 3d.-A splendid
remedy has recently been introduced
In this neighborhood. It is called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and it has cured
rheumatism right and left. On eyery
hand may be heard stories of the re.
markable %recoveries, and from what
has been stated already, there seems
to be no case of rheumatism that
Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure.
One OF those who has already tested
the virtue of Dodd's Kidney Pills is
Katie Anderson Of this place, who
says:

much, suffered very severely with

cases, and If the good work keeps on
there will soon be no rheumatism left

He spoke in a low, even voice, not
as if he were wooing, his tone un-
stirred by passion. He was simply
stating a fact. Not considering for a
moment that such a woman could look
upon a man in his condition with any
deeper sentiment than pity, he expect
ed no return of the worship he law
ished upon her. She was to him a
thing apart from him and above him,
to be knelt to from afar. She looked
at him, her wonderful eyes tender and
dewy. Then she rose and held out her
slim white hand:

Weston" she said. II want to shake

he might have taken the hand of some

touched it lightly with his lips. Next

hallway, h%urrying to her room, hold
ing that hand to her cheek with the
other, fondling it.

CHAPTER XII.

To Look Upward as to a Star.
Three nights later Lois English sat
in the prisoners room. Weston faced
her, a few feet away. A sombrero lay
upon the floor at his feet. Upon a
chair near him was a revolver and a
belt of cartridges. 1t was his own
weapon, captured with him, and she
had brought 1t to him, removing it
from the gun-roOm Of the rancho
where all of the armament was kept.
He had assured her that this three
months lapse from the strict letter of
the law was at an end and that to her
presence and influence his redemption
was wholly due. It was settled that
he should attempt to escape from the
rancho on that night. The task was
easy, for Glynn had made few in
quiries concerning his condition, had
not visited the sick chamber for a
week and had no idea that the wound
ed mans recovery had been SO rapid.

arm had not regained it's strength, but
