His Message I'm Unique
Manner.

After the ship which had come from
New Zealand was tied up at the wharf,
Larry O'Brien was told off by his ship
mates TO call upon Mrs. Mccarthy to
break the news of the death Of her hus-
band. which had occurred on shipboard
the preceding summer. The Brooklyn
Eagle tells how he did 1t;

home yet? That's quare-unless some
thing has happened to him"
what would happen to him?' Mrs.
Mccarthy asked, anxiously'
There's plenty Of things can hap

might have got hurted, or he might
have took sick with the fever But
there's one comfort, as Father McGin-

"Then, Mrs. Mccarthy, you'll be glad

it can't grieve you now as much as IT

Two Regular Maine Crops.

Mai Gen. Haywood, the commanding
officer of the United States marine
corps, is a native of the Pine Tree
state, and is proud of it. a; a recep-
ton one evening he was in the midst
of a group of women whose home is
in a part Of the country vastly more
favored agriculturally
II don't see how you people from
the north of New England manage to
look so robust and healthy, brought
up. as you were, in a country where
it is impossible to raise anything"
remarked one of the ladies'.
why, madam" answered the gal
liant general, that is a queer mis-
take. The people up there can raise
things"
How do you figure that?"
"Well. we have two regular crops
in Maine"
What are they?" continued his

II one is equal to no more than a
fcT deep brcaths daily even this will
be helpful, for deep breathing means
more oxygen in the blood and hence
a more speedy recovery.
Let the invalid try the efficacy OF
systematic breathing lie will be
surprised at his returning strength.
Oxygen acts as tonic, and one can
not get too much from the air.
When you stop to think that a sick
person does not breathe below the
fifth rib you will soon realize the
great Importance Of expanding the
lungs to their fullest. This is best
done lying fiat on the back. Inhale
all you can hold and eXhale slowly.
If two such breaths tire you, take no
more until you are more accustomed
to the exercise. Never exhaust your
self.
Another excellent exercise is this
one: Prop yourself up on pillows to
"a sitting position, and then stretch
out the arms as far as you can reach
on each side; then raise them above
your head until the back and palms
meet alternately. Do not forget to
take long breaths while going
through this exercise.
Good exercise, if you are able to
be out of bed, is to stand on one foot
while swinging the other one. This
gives suppleness to the limbs besides
exercising the hardened muscles. Al
ternate with the limbs and continue
the movements for n few. minutes,
but not until you are exhausted or
even tired. Good effects will be lost
and bad ones produced by oyertax-
ing the strength.

THE MOST GRACIOUS QUEEN.
ImDressions Gained I'm an Interview
with EnSInnd's Late Ruler IN
Time of Addiction.

The duchess knocked, the queens

myself in q beautiful large salon, all
the windows opening on the sea. The
queen, dressed as usual in black, was
seated in the middle Of the room facing
the door. / had barely time to make
one courtesy-she put out her hand
and made me sit down next to her.
She spoke to me at first in French

tremely well---of course ! couldn't tell
if her sight was gone, as she knew

DRY and conversation quite the same.
She thanked me for my letter; said
the duke of Edinburgh's death was
great blow to her. 1t was so sudden,
she had not thought him i'll. She had
lost three children all very dear TO her,
and it was hard at her age TO see her
children go before her. She spoke at

and various little incidents that had
occurred in France. l said was very
glad to have an opportunity Of telling
her that everybody in France Except
for few hot-headed radicals and anti
English) was most indignant at such
gratuitous insults not only to the
queen but to woman. She said she
quite understood that-that wherever
she had been in France every body had
done what they could TO make her stay
happy and comfortable; that she never
could forget it. and hoped the French
nation felt that--also that she would
never dream of holding the country
responsible for the radical press. but
my children and my people feel it
very deeply"

There are some reasons for answer

grow golden eagles from dollars. IT

A Wonderful Harbor.

Puget sound is one of the finest
harbors in the world, if not the fin
est-a deep bay, over a hundred
miles long, cut off from the ocean
by the mountainous western PENN

nearly everywhere are deep; the
shores abrupt, and the tide is mod
crate. Ships may go from Tacoma
halfway to Alaska without passing
out of this great sound and its ex-
tensions notwithstanding.

Cotton Gin War.

Lawton Enterprise: 4 lively time
was had yesterday in the cotton gin
district The Farmers Gin company
vas not exactly satisfied at the rate
charged by Cash 4 Young for ginning.
So presently the new gin began TO cut
the rate. Then Cash 4 Young follow
ed suit. Down went the rate, lower
and still lower, and up jumped the
price that each gin paid for cotton
seed.
It was a grand fight for patronage.
BY and by both gins were turning out
bales for nothing, and instead Of pay
ing $ll per ton for seed, they made
the price jump to SIC per ton.
Moreover other expedients were re-
sorted to in order TO gain the farmers
as permanent patrons. II is said that
one of the gins paid for the dinners
OF those who brought in cotton.

come in lrCn the outside and have
made entry OF lands. So far as known
no evidence Of fraud has been discov-
crcd IN these specific cases, but the
officials of the district contend that
IL view. of the fact that over $500 is
required TO complete the acquisition

law, some of these entries are at least
suspicious.
In other cases entries have been
made in the names of purely fictitious
persons The connivance of officials
Is necessary in proceedings OF this
character and this line OF cases lend
themselves most easily to discovery
and prosecution.
1T also appears that the frauds eX-
