as to avoid the harmful effects of the
foods it excludes. To keep a person
on milk diet for week or two
means that the stomach gets CON-
plete rest
Dyspepsia especially yields to fast
ing and light meals rather than diet
ing. Indigestion is only a symptom
of something awry with the internal
machinery, and one o. the most CON-
nonsense cures is to give the ma
chinery a rest and let the body right
itself; but dyspeptics are continually
dosing themselves with drugs or try
ing to find something they can eat
with safety. Everything disagrees
with the overburdened digestion, but
they never stop to give the wheels a
rest. Like the foolish muleteer who
put the load all on one side and then
tried to make things balance by put
ting heavy stone on the other, they
overload their weakened stomach with
food and then attempt to counter bal
ance by ladling in a lot of powerful
drugs.

GOOD IN OLD-AGE PENSIONS

Simply speaking, the payment of an
old-age pension, say of 500 each to
every citizen, male or female, who
has passed the age of 70, does not
involve a heavy burden to the state.
Let us now consider for a moment
the advantages which the state, as an
organization, would receive from such
a system. AS matters stand, the man
ayers of asylums,. whether, for the
poor, or perhaps for the blind, or the
insane, or other. invalids, are always
at their Wits ends to know what they
shall do with the aged people who
are crowded upon them. The aims
houses of towns and counties are
filled in the same way.
Now, all these old people are better
cared for in the homes of old neigh
bors, or old friends, very possibly OF

sons, or of daughters, who would re-
ceive them and take charge of them
humanely if they could receive little
ready money for the extra expense.
AS society organizes itself, a very
little money goes a long way in the
average household of an American.
The moment it appears that a grand
father or a grandmother has 800 a
year to his good, that moment we
shall find that the burden thrown
upon the state and town in their asy-
lums is reduced by a larger proper
ton than by the charge made by the
pensions upon the: treasury. Thus
the pension system has the great :ad-
vantage that it maintains life + in
homes, and that it abates the neces-
sity for great institutions or asylums.

CHAPTER x.


At break Of day next morning, Ma.
marah, accompanied by her maidens,
dressed all in sad garments of mourn
ing, passed through the streets of Miz-
peh and wendell their way toward the
mountains, and, as they passed along,
behold the people came forth of their
houses to look upon them, and ever as
they saw the maidens, in their sack
cloth and ashes, men and women, and
even little children, lifted up their
voices and wept, for the VOW that Jeph-
than had vowed was known unto all
the people; also that the maiden Ma
marah was gone, according unto GUS
tom, to bewail upon the mountains
with the maidens, her companions.
And as the maldens walked with sad
and measured steps, the maiden Ma
marah walked ever at their head, her
stately height and noble form swathed
in sackcloth. And, although the hood
of her mantle hid her face from view,
the people said she sobbed in passing,
because that they saw the fluttering
rise and fall of her breast beneath the
folds Of her gown.
But Namarah was not weeping. He1
brow was calm and solemn, and her
great eyes serene as be stars. Her
vigil had made her pale as the ashes
wherewith she had sprinkled her gar
ments, but the look of her face was
strong and confident, and ever she
whispered in the silence of her heart
''He will deliver
AS the town was left behind, and the
rugged mountain path up which they
were to wend their toilsome way was
come in view, Namarah paused, and
the maidens who followed, pausing
also, say her part the folds of her gar
ment and take therefrom the mes
senger-doye which had already served
so faithfully She spake no word,
neither looked she to the right nor the
left, while all the maidens wondered,
but lifting it to her lips she gently
kissed it, then raising her arm above
her head she held it on her open palm,
giving it. little impulse upward, at
which it spread it's wings and flew,
with sure and steady flight backward
along the path that they had come.
Namarah stood and looked at it until
the whiteness of it's feathers was even
one with the whiteness of the Clouds
and then she turned about and began
to climb the mountain-path, her maid
ems following. Then were there tears
in her eyes, in that moment, which
over1owed and fell upon her cheek, but
no eye there was that saw them.

Then the face of each turned to each,
and long time they gazed into each
others eyes, as though their very
souls were barred unto each other. Then
silently their arms entwined, and softly
their lips met and pressed and chung;
and so rested they, still upon their
knees, for the moment was sacred at
once to love and to death. The thought
of what was to come was in the heart
of EACH and cast around them a great
awe that seemed to wrap them in; but
even over this their pure love tri-
umphed, and the man and the maiden
were shown therein the truth of Ma
marah's words, that love is stronger
than death.
Then Adina lifted up his voice and
prayed.
And Namarah, in her gentle voice,
which the words of Adina's prayer
made now to tremble, answered even
also, Amen"
After they got them to their feet
and went in search of the maiden's
father Jephthah, that they might speak
unto him cheering words and comfort
him with the comfort wherewith their
souls within them had been comforted
And Namarah spoke unto her father
Jephthah, and said:
LET this thing be done for me: let
me alone two months, that I may go
up and down upon the mountains, and
bewail my unhappy lot
And he said:

And after this, behold, the face of the
maiden was no longer sorrowful, but

calm and shining light that even COM

her.

gave it, and so leave thee here upon
the earth, will it seem too hard thing
to wait with patience until the hour of
thy release from earth and flesh shall
come, when thy spirit shall again meet
mine?"
"Too hard thing, Namarah! I
could wait till eternity were ended
sooner than I could love any other
maiden than thee!"
"Ah, sweet, sweet is thy love and
loyalty beloved" saith Namarah: "and
my heart is even warmed and COM

Nevertheless, there is a thing 1 would

The SociaIistic Vote in Democratic
Cities.

On Tuesday next the Democrats Of
Boston will hold their primaries for the
election of delegates to the several nomi-
Mating conventions. From being stall
wart Republican city, Boston has become
one of the strongest Democratic cities
in the North. 1t polled for Governor
last year $4,000 votes for CASTOR, the
Democrat $1,000 for Governor BATES,
the Republican; $500 for CHASE, the
Socialist Democratic candidate, and POS
for Mr.. PARTRIDGE, the nominee OF the
Early Bird Prohibitionists. The total
vote of the city was IS, 900, and about one
tenth of it was cast by the Socialist
party.
In Chicago, the cosmopolitan popula-
ton of which is so varied as to offer, as
might be supposed, good recruiting
field for outside parties, the Socialists
number about 80, 600, in total of $50 900,
smaller proportion than in Boston.
In New York, with about 600, 900 voters,
the combined Socialist vote in the munic-
ipal election of two years ago was only
5000, Notwithstanding the extent tc
which the voting population OF this city
is being increased by the naturalization
of newcomers from eastern Europe.
