"A: short time after Cornelia came
home, Doctor Moran returned from
his professional visits. Nature had
ueft the impress of her nobility on his
finely formed forehead; nothing but
truth and kindness looked from his
candid eyes. On entering the room,
he drew his wife close to his. heart
and kissed her affectionately.
II have had a morning full of feel
ing. There is no familiarity with
Death, however often you meet him."
"And you have met Death this
morning, I see that, John?"
"You are right, Ava. I must now
tell you that Elder Semple died this
morning"
<'The dear old man! He has been
sick and sorrowful ever since his wife
died. Were any of his sons PRESENT."
'*None Of them. The two eldest
have been long away. Neil was
obliged to leave New York when the
Act forbidding Tory lawyers to prac-
tice was passed. But he was not quite
alone, his old friend JOrls Van
Heemskirk was with him to the last
moment The love of these old men
for each other was very beautiful
thing"
''There is nothing to fear in such
a DEATH
Nothing at all. Last week when
Cornelia and I passed his house, he
was leaning on the garden gate, and
he spoke pleasantly to her and told
her she was a bonnie lassie.' Where
is Cornelia?'

Duyckinck's this morning for me,

they took walk together on the

OF Wide Interest.

Breed, Wis, July 1S.-SpeciaI-
Charles Y. Peterson, Justice Of the
Peace for Oconto Co., has delivered
a judgment that is of interest to the
whole United States. Put briefly, that
Judgment is, ''Dodd's Kidney Pills ara
the best kidney medicine on the mar
ket to-day"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this judgment. He says: Last
winter l had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.
In the morning could hardly straight,
en- my back. l did not know what it
was, but an advertisement led me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking
one box I can only say they have done
more for me than expected as I feel
as we'll now as ever l did before"
Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. If not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may
develop into Bright's Disease, Dia-
betes, Rheumatism or some of the
other deadly forms of Kidney Disease.

A Story of BeeCher

IN the smoking room of the Law
yers' club, Roger A. Pryor, surround
ed by dozen choice spirits, was re-
calling Incidents of the Beecher-Tilton
trlal-the cause celebre that for six
months, away back in the '70s, was
the chief topic of every household in
the land. General Pryor was one of
Tllton's counsel in the onslaught upon
the famous preacher; and his recol-
lection of what happened is as clear
as If it were only yesterday the trial
ended. Here is reminfscence of the
skill with which Mr.. Beecher con-
fronted Fullerton, the most noted
cross-examiner Of his time, who was
put forward to crush the Plymouth
pastor, and who was confident of be-
ing able to do the trick:
"You must know" said General
Pryor, that Tilton was poor man;
that his counsel were numerous, and
that long bef ore the trial was half
over we were working for nothing.
Fullerton was very aggressive and
went at Beecher with tooth and nail

Entry by Nomination in NAVY.

The writer of an article in Pages
Magazine on Lord Selborne's new
scheme for the training of British
naval officers makes some pointed re-
marks on the present methods of en-
try to the navy. He states that the
proposed mode of entry by nomina-
tion is relic of admiralty patronage,
which the board is unwilling to re-.
linquish; but, whether the admirals
like it or not, it must soon 20 the
way of all such antiquated privileges.
Open competition is sure to come
within the next few years. The re-
suit of this entry by nomination will
be to keep the naval service-as far
as the officers are concerned-in the
family circles of the admiralty and
their friends; SO that parents without
influence inside of that charmed circle
will have no chance of getting their
boys into the navy, however desirable
the boys themselves may be, or, how
ever ready the parents may be to in
cur the heavy expense of educating
their boys for the service of their
country. ~>"

TO G. H. r.: This Introduction on
memory, concentration and diplomacy,
is more to paste into and help you
make good use Of a blank-book for the
rest of your life, and then pass it
along to some young person, than to
furnish any didactic information.
Keep the blank-book alive by either
adding a written or printed idea or
re-readlng paragraph every day,
week or month. The most useful in
formation is that which you discover
for yourself, and systematic effort in
the interest Of better methods is a
daily source of original thought. Try
to gain an idea, at least every Mon
day, to put to use in your work. You
can secure them by observation, con-
versation, reading and determined
thinking.
Memory is that power by which we
reproduce past impressions. Some
are born rich and lose it. Some are
born poor and acquire it. Our men,
ory increases best unconsciously by
exercise due to intense interest in
some subject. A man who wanted to
retain the names of those people to
whom he was introduced took pains to
hear the name and get an impression.
1t is impossible to reproduce no i'm
preston. 1t is difficult to reproduce
poor impressions. Memory exercises
are useful when the memory is not
naturally good. It is not wise to try
to work and exercise at the same
time. Select a few minutes day to
DO some small self-appointed task
which will cause your memory to
work. People use enough time, in
useless worry, to solve all their per-
plexities, if only devoted to syste-
matte thought or genuine intelligence.

And I love them all with pity which

A love which thrills my being-as heaven

For I see that when you have trodden
the thorny path Of pain,
This selfish world is never the same chill

Henceforth you love the sorrowing with
ardent might, and main.

Throwing Things Into Confusion.
Prudence declares that whenever
person is in that disagreeable situa-
ton which compels him to ask what
shall I do?" that the wisest answer
is, nothing" But such answer did
not satisfy George Hyde. He was so
much in earnest, so honestly in love,
that he felt his doubts and anxieties
could only be relieved by action. Il

Concentration is a mental power
due to health, habit andadesire. Notice
how much people near you know about
things that appeal to them. Many
men know more about some side-llne
subject than their regular work, be-
cause their interest in it enables
them to concentrate. have seen peo-
pie look ten. years younger in two
minutes because their pet subject hap
pened to come up and some one ex'
hlblted an interest in it. If we have
strength and the habit of hard work
and want to do a certain thing we can
concentrate our minds on it.
diplomacy includes special knowl.
edge of people, customs, and require
ments. To be diplomatic one must
nave dexterity, skill and tact There
are places and times when voice and
manners are more important than
words. TO know people and respect
them is the beginning of diplomacy.
Some very good people are very ig-
norant on these things, and they have
much trouble because they do not in
form themselves as they might by
seeking, asking, and knocking on the
door of wisdom. Diplomacy REQUIRES
a knowledge of personal peculiarities.
Some people have studied people all
their lives in a way to be able to
manage others without the use Of
force To be diplomatic means that
one is polite, kind, patient but de.
termined Genuine diplomacy is hon,
orable and desirable, but artificial di.
plomacy is the trickery of weakness.
Some would like to classify all diplo-
macy as trickery and then put desir-
able personal forces under the sub
ject of executive ability, which lis a
power of powers.

Recent mention Of the disappearance
Of the $50 gold piece from circulation
and the premium this coin commands
as a curio has set many TO rummasinS
in old pocketbooks and bottoms of cash
boxes and drawers in search of odd or
out of date coins Some have found Il
$3.50 piece. but not many. The S.
piece. once quite common. but always a
sort of curiosity. is oftener found. and
many have specimens of the little gold
coins representing - cents and 80
cents which were not minted by the
government and probably have not so
much gold in them as they represent
They used to pass as coin. but were
never in general circulation. being so
easily lost that they soon became
scarce. One of the handsomest coin
relics seen is $40 gold piece bearing
the mint stamp of 1893. 1t is larger
than the present $40 piece. The owner
has II hung in band and wears IL as
a charm OH his watch chain. The own
er says he refused an offer of $50 for
this relic. The old oc;a asonal $50 pieces
were quite common in California In
early days. when gold dust was largely
used as a circulating medium They
were made of pure gold. and. while
they had not the elegant finish of the
gold coins mintcd by the government
in these days. many still remember
them as the handsomest coins they ever
saw Many people now would consider
them handsome on account of the $50
in them.-New York Tribune.
