MANLY GILLIAN.

Presently, fainter than ever, Blanehe's
voice came up from the hollow:
HERBERT"
Yes, Blanche"
is there any hope? Is any one in
sight?'
No; not yet. But I'll try and hold on
a bit longer"
There was t, pause for few seconds.
Then she spoke again
It's all right now, Herbert"
He wondered, and half-guessed, what
she meant.
Before he could speak in protest, she
went on-and this time there was a pas
sion in her tones which he had only
heard once before
"Coodby, Herbert. Goodby, my own
darling!"
Then the strain suddenly slaekened,
enabling him to pull Edith up into a
place of safety, and he heard the heavy
thud of falling body, and knew that
she had cut the rope to save him.
After taking Edith back to the hotel
Herbert, accompanied by guides with
lanterns and ropes, returned to the scene
of the accident
One of the men was let down carefully
into the crevasse.
After much patient cropping the guide
found the body, and his companions drew
it up.
The rope went down into the gulf
again, and this time the guide-old
Christian Summermatter-cam back
with it.
Herr" he said, and Herbert stepped
apart from the rest to speak with him
Herr, / found in the lady's hand
frozen to her fingers, this knife" ~
Herbert took it from him, and he went
And, Herr, also found, lying close
beside the lady, this long piece of
string"
Herbert started.
Quick Bring me a light" he cried.
Christian fetched one of the lanterns.
BY its light Herbert looked at the knife
with which Blanche Marsden had cut the
rope. Scratched upon the handle he read
tile words, Edith Curzon"
He understood now the meaning of OLD
Christians discovery. Unwilling to cut
the rope herself, which would be muir
der Edith had, quietly, without his
knowledge. lowered Blanche the knife,
that Blanche might do so.
My God!"
That was all he said. As he spoke he
staggered backward, The crevasse was
very rear, and he did not try to save
himself. So there were two glacier ac
cIdents that day, and the next morning
| the guides brought two dead bodies home
instead of one.-New York Daily News

well that name is known from the hem

and yet how different from its name are
the associations one gives It when 1t Is
pronounced. In history it is recorded as

who. Drawing the hardships o. emigratio
not for the love of gain, but TO help their
lfelowmen. built the Brainard Mission on
the picturesque heights known by the
name of Missionary ridge.

for the erection of mission. including
school buildings and Il home for the mis-
SionarieS. But the contractors failed in
their contract and the missionaries were
left without money and without even a
shelter. But by energetic efforts they
created Il mission school and built a mill
ON the banks of Chickamauga creek.
The mill race nearly Il mile long. is still

AMERICAN RICE.
Doubled in Supply and Exported to
Many Lands.

About one-half of the population of the
world depends upon rice as its main food
supply. If we looked, however, ut maps
showing the distribution of cereal crops
We shall find a great difference between
the distribution of rice and that of other
grains. We shall see that maize, wheat,
rye. oats and barley are scattered over
wide areas covering perhaps, the half of
continents. The rice areas, on the CON
trary, appear small and patchy. They lie
IN long narrow bands along the margins
Of the sea or i'll river valleys. The
reason is, of course, that they are con
fined to low, swampy districts where
paddy helds may easily be flooded. No
where does rice spread out over areas Of
wide extent except in Southern Asia,
where the extensive low lands are flood
co or the valleys among the mountains
are irrigated with infinite care.
Within the past four years the dream
of a few theorists has been realized on
the plai1s of Texas, and in 1902 over
2l000O acres around Houston Welded >,
100000 bags of marketable rice, worth
SS,OO0,00O. In 1891, the year after the
rice boom struck Texas, 10000 acres
were i'll rice i'll the ighborhood Of Hous-
ton, and this year it is expected that
100000 acres will be planted. all of 1t
land that five years ago was worth only
81 or 81 an acre for grazing and could
produce only four or FIVE bushels of grain
to the acre. Costly irrigation has
wrought this transformation. 1t has
been proved that the very best of rice
crops car be raised on these prairie lands
b. spreading water over them and that
the industry pays Il large profit.
4 few years ago that part OF our sGuth-
ern coastal plain which might easily De
flooded was producing only about one
half the rice consumed by our people.
We are still importing rice, but at the
same time We are selling our home prod
uct in Hawaii, Porto Rico. Cuba, Mexico
and Central and South America; and
agents of the Rice Association of Ameri-
ca are looking to Europe for a market
confident that before very long we shall
be able not only to fill the home demand
but also to contribute important quaEti-
ties to foreign markets that now depend
upon Burmah. Siam and Cochin China
In five years we have increased the
home product nearly one-half. We are
changing the nature of our rice imports.
which are now largely of the lower
grades known as brewers rice" used in
the manufacture of beer. Rice culture

fcially was the problem in Texas; and
its triumphant solution is turning a
region of scantv production into very
profitable farming l2nds.--New York

THE HARpER's SONG.

This sweetness n trembling from the strings,
The troublous music In the lutte,
Hath timed HerOdias' daughters foot,
Setting a-clink her ankle rings
When as she danced to Toasted kings:
Whose gemmed apparel cleaned and caught
The sunset meath the golden dome.
70 the dark beauties of old Rome
My sorrowfu lutte hath haply brought
Sad memories sweet with tender thought.
When night had fallen, and lights and fires
Were dan kened in the homes of men,
Some signing escho stirred, and then
The old cunning Weakened from the wires
The old sorl Ows and the old desires.
Dead kings in long forgotten lands,
And all dead beauteOus women. ; Jme
Whose pride imperial hath become,
Old armor rusting in the sands,
And shalds of iron in dusty hands,
Have heard my Tyres soft rise and fail
Go trembling down the payen ways
Till every heart was all ablaze,
Hasty each foot to obey the call
To triumph or funeral.
Could begin again the slow,
Sweet. mournful music filed with tears,
Surely the old dead, dusty ears
Would hear, the old dIowsy eyes would
glow,
Old memories come-old hopes and fears.
And Time restore the long ago

A FILIPINO BELLE.

for the Ball Room.
In describing the costume Of a Filipino
belle one begins naturally at the slip
pered feet ana works toward the dia-
mond-decked hair. The first thing is the
media, or long stocking, usually of silk
and often beautifully embroidered about
the foot and ankle, the embroidery being
plainly seen because of the lrw-t0pped,
heeless vhinelas, or slippers, usually
WoIn which are also often beautifully
embroidered on the top. Then comes the
vcstida, the long train dress, fastened by
a band at the waist, and usually allowed
10 trail ut the left side. When caught up
out Of the way it is passed across the
front Of the body and fastened to the belt

tiGas are elegantly and extensively hand
embroidered in silk, as much as 5000 to
$1,000 being often the cost of a single

The next garment is the camiseta,

wide, short sleeves. 1t is made Of the
beautiful thin pima cloth. manufactured
from the fiber of the pineapple leaf. and is
practically transparent. The cloth is
sufficiently stiff to cause the large sleeves
to stand out from the arms and shoulders
and not cling 70 them as silk and cotton
goods will do. and is, therefore. mach
more suited to the warm climate of the
Philippines. This camseta is also usual
ly embroidered extensively. sometimes in
white and sometimes in delicate tnts.
The coalla. or collar. is also made of
the thin. stiff and extensively embroid-
cred pima cloth. 1t is about the size of
the small opera shawl worn in this coun-
try, and is folded and worn about the
shoulders and neck much in the same
way, the ends being crossed over the bust
and fastened there with clasp Of dia-
