Marsh Cup Water Plant.

The plant that found In the Hud-
son bay region which is most worthy
of notice grows in the messy mus
kegs, in places where there is little
or no grass. 1t is remarkable for two
reasons-the beauty of it's flower and
Its water containing properties. The
leaves, which grow fiat upon the
ground, are broad and green. The bell
OF the flower seems adapted as a nat
ural reservoir for water, of which,
from a large one, there can easily be
obtained as much as an Egyptian cot
fee cup will hold. But the beauty of
1t was that In the early autumn, when
the nights were frosty, but the heat
still excessive by day, the water it
contained was always iced, for these
charming flower bells are evidently
constructed to resist frost, and as they
close in toward the top they protect
from the rays Of the sun the lump of
clear Ice formed within the calyx at
night. The result of this was that
often when toiling along at midday,
hot and weary, through a stagnant
swamp all I had to do to slaks hiT
thirst was to pluck a few Of these
miraculous flowers to obtain so many
small cdps full Of delicious water,
each with a little lump of Ice floating
on the top.-Blackwood's Magazine.

Rev. DR.. Marcus Dods, who recent

principal of the New College, Edin-

Aug. S, 1884. Educated in Edinburgh,
he was licensed to preach in 1858, but,
surprising as it may seem. for seven
years he failed to get church, though
he preached in no fewer than % va
cancies. While today he is acknowl-
edged to be one of the most potent
forces in the Presbyterian church,
there was a time when his influence
was by no means regarded with favor.
Fifteen years or more ago the sound
ness of his teaching was bitterly as
sailed, and he was branded as a he
retic. He succeeded, however, in vim
dicating himself from the charge and
since then his reputation and inf1u-

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing viii be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh. which Is
nothing but an infiamed condition Of

"Now, Tip, something must be done,
but how I'm going to do it is more
than know"
Jim Granville stretched his great
length on the grass beneath an old oak
tree and addressed his fox terrier, who
surveyed his master with evident inter
est and understanding. There was a
frown on the broad forehead of the
young man and a troubled look in his
big brown eyes. Tip sat on his
launches, wagging his dlminutive

The squirrel had disappeared from
view, and Tip fixed his undivided at
tention upon his master. evidently med
itating deeply over the perplexing prob
lem. The stumpy tail ceased its pen
dulum-like motions, and his sharp ears
were pricked up In an attitude of ear

PHILIPPINE CITIZENSHIP.

Those people in this country who
have been clamoring for complete Fill
dpinO independence. ought to have their
temperature reduced by looking over
the returns of the recent election there.
From the first Frilipinos have taken
part in the civil government. On the
bench they have been conspicuous, ana
the promise Of the United States CIV
eminent has all the time been that they
shall control their government so soon
! as they can make It clear that they
have the proper requisites to manage
their own affairs wisely. Well, the
last law Is that they shall have a new
Philippine assembly and that an cleo
ton to choose members to that assem-
@bly should be held. The election came
OFF and in the city of Manila, out Of
100000 inhabitants only 1902 persons
voted and of these S63 are Americans.
This confirms the truth that the agi-
Eation which as more or less disturbed
that country since the advent of Am
orleans has been solely by a disgrunt-
led few who want to plumber the ISL
ands.
Those Philippine islands will be a
great possession one of these days If
present restrictions can be- done away
with. There has been a steady fight
against those who would gladly fell the

, eminent has been afraid of monopolies
and the ABSORPTION of valuable proper
ties by rich men. The great need is
money and men with money will hard

the only friend In whom can connde-
and / look to you to straighten tnis
tangle out for me.
If the fly that lowered about Tips
head had been Wentworth, Granville's
anxiety would have been at an END.
After making sure that his winged tor
mentor would worry him no more Tip
glanced around and espied the squirrel
several rods away, engaged In making
his morning meal from some crumbs
that had been left in the woods. For
getting his masters troubles, Tip dash
ed off in pursuit, leaving Granville to
solve the question that so greatly per-
picked him. The young man. left to
his own devices, lighted fresh cigar
and began a mental calculation as to
the length of time that must elapse be-
fore he could hope for sufficient in
come wherewith to maintain his moth
er and wife in separate homes, pro-
vided, of course, that Wentworth did
not succeed In carrying off Miss
Browning before his eyes.
The calculation was interrupted by a
series of ear splitting yelps, and Gran
vile. fearing his pet had come to grief,
arose and hurried down the path along
which Tip had disappeared. As he
reached a clearing a hundred yards or
so away he stopped short. his eyes
resting upon a curious scene.
In the center of the clearing stood
Wentworth and Mrs. Granville. The
former had one arm around the latter's
waist, while, with his walking stick in
his disengaged hand, he was vigorous
~ parrying the furious PUSHES of the
enraged Tip.
