he said; the woman I have loved and

he drained his glass as though he felt
the need of the sumulant it contained.
Then the professor dismissed me, and
went awaE.
When the guests arrived I came back
TO call my master and mistress. They
were seated with Ricardo. where I had
left them. The decanter. the glasses and
the bowl Of melting ice were upon the
table before them, but the three whom I
had seen an hour before in vigorous
health were dumbIy staring with sight
less eyes over their empty glasses.
Senior, I cried out for help, but they
we're far beyond human assistance.
There was. Of course, an investiga-
ton. and then it was noticed that a
deadly efHuvium seemed rising from the
melted ice. Puff! It was so foul that the
authorities made chemical analysis of
it, and they found it to be filled with the
most poisonous Of living baciHi. More ice
was taken from the professors little
freezing apparatus. and examined with
the same thoroughness, and this also
was found to be full of these deadly
germs. Cold had no destroying effect
upon them. and when they were intro
duced into the system Of healthy llama
it fell dead in tslree~ minutes.

the ice from his laboratory. instead OF

Not Unreasonable.

Jim Hendricks, an accomplishing
and fairly industrious citizen of little
Vermont town, had made the mistake
in early life of marrying a shiftless
woman, but he never complained. She
was the wife Of his youth, and he
loved her with the love that excuses.
Jennie" he said one day in his af-
fectionate, apologetic manner, II wish
you'd sew the buttons on my coat.
There are two off,"
She sighed as people who work sell
dom sigh, but as lazy people always
sigh when work is thrust upon them.
In a day or two Jim approached her
when she seemed especially at leisure.
"The last buttons off my coat, Jennie.
Won't you sew 'em all on"
But she did not. He said nothing and
wore the coat in silent patience.
Then there came a day when he felt
it was his right to impose on her again.
Jennie, all the buttons are off my
workin' shirts. Won't you fix 'em?"
She was i'll for day or two after
that, so it was a week before he was
cruel enough to mention the matter
again. Finally he summoned up all
his selfishness and said timidly:
Jennie, know you amt well. but
all the buttons are off my undershirt,
and l wish you'd put the buttons on
my coat"
"On your shirt, do you meanT
"No, on the coat; never mind about
the shirts. If l could button my coat,
it would sort of hold me together, and
I'd feel real fixed"

ded pleasantly to him, but remained
seated.
What dye mean by not showin'

what dye mean by 1eavin' me to go
with this rascal?" And he pointed at
Mr.. Goodman.
Some of the players around the table
turned and gazed at the intruder; 9TH
ers looked bored. Mr.. Goodman rose
and came forward to the irate captain.
He took him by the arm and led him
aside, or, rather, tried to do so, but
Jimmy Breeze shook him off.
Mr.. Goodman let him swear and rave
for some minutes, smiling benignly
upon him, but offering no opposition or
contradiction to his charges of passing
counterfeit bills. Finally, when the
skipper grew tired, he spoke out in his
benevolent tones.
"Your forte is running a ship and
knowing men," said he. mine is play
ing. Never play against mans forte.
You're sure to lose. See those cards Of
yours. No man who makes q forte Of
playing would mark them so plainly.
'Twon't do. No, sir; nothing as simple
as that game will do with a man who
has forte, and told you playing was
my forte"

George Eliot tells story of bull
dog and child. The latter tried to cut
the dogs ears with pair of scissors;
Although the dog howled, he made no !
effort to escape or retaliate. The

to administer due punishment, but the
bulldog interfered, pushing itself be-.

the face of the latter. !

writer in the London Tatler says
That he knows few men more hearty
and more genial than Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle and Robert Barr. Both are un-
consciously more fiercely tory in their
politics than anything that the Prim-
rose league can boast, although one is
member of the Reform club, and the
other of the Devonshire. But they are
both true liberals in being ever ready
to help lame dogs over stiles. :
Prof. Eugene Ritter, of Geneva, has
written book on two female ancestors
OF Rousseau. Nine. Bourgeois was so
quarrelsome and eccentric that when
nearly 60 years old she was brought
before the courts, charged with being
witch, tortured and banished from
Geneva. Nine. Durant maltreated her
chambermaid, who thereupon COM
mitted suicide by jumping into the
Rhone.
Booth Harrington, the novelist, al
ways sketches his stories in pictures
before he writes them in words, and all
of his stories lie hidden away in pic
ture form. He is unwilling to show
these drawings even to intimate
friends. His publishers have urged him
to allow them to use his own draw
ings for illustrations of his books, but
he wouldn't hear it, wouldn't even let
them see any of the pictures. At last
he promised them one of the Vanrevel
sketches, but he was canny enough not
to send it until too late for insertion
in the book. About the supplement-
airy autograph edition he did not know.
The picture came in time to be clapped
into that, and there it is, to the authors

Captain Breeze waited no longer. He
went out into the night and back to his
ship.

The Profitable Sausage.

For the amount of meat used the
sausage is the most profitable legacy
of the hog. Fully so different kinds of
this suspected article are manufac-
tured to suit the taste of many peo-
pies; for Italians, with a dominating
measure of garlic; for Germans, hard
and fatty; for Frenchmen, dry and
well larded; for Americans, well
spiced; and all of these in several
grades. Whatever meat cannot be
used otherwise is consigned to the
sausage, although for no other reason
than that every diminutive piece is
vailable-ham, head and foot trim
mings, and the odd remnants from the
butchers block. Potato, flour, Spices,
and water are mixed with the meat,
which has been finely chopped by rock
ing-knives, and a steam-driven piston
forces the mass into the castings,
whereupon it becomes sausage. The
castings are the intestines of the hog
thoroughly scraped and washed by
mechanical process. The pigs snout
does not escape-that would be
gross oversight-so it is trimmed off
and sold as picking "delicacy'' to new
Americans with unpronounceable
names.-Century.

CROP SUMMARY
As Issued by the Department OF
Agriculture from the Vicksburg
Office Sept. 10.

AS rule, cotton continues to de-
teriorate, shedding, rust and blight
being the most damaging features:
boil worms are also doing consider
abba damage in portions OF the delta.
The early planted cotton Is o. ening
very rapidly, especially on thin up
lands, WI ere there is much pr 9mature
opening, while the late planted has
generally been very materially inJur-
ed by the dry weather of the past two
weeks. On lowlands the crop, al
though failing. is still in fairly good
condition. Picking is generally in
full progress.
Over the central and northern por-
tions of the state late cornis suffering
as result Of the dry weather. IN
a few counties peas. sugar cane ami
sweet potatoes are looking we'll, but
these crops generally need rain.
Turnips, fall gardens and the second
crop of Irish potatoes are very I'M
promi ling. The weather hes been
very favorable fer haying and fodder
pulling and large crops Of each have
been secured in excellent condition.
